《Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon》 Chapter 1: Rebirth Xiangjiang Xiangjiang Jiulong, a small remote fishing village. In the courtyard outside the simple bungalow, a long bamboo pole was erected, and a shiny silver fishing net was hung on the bamboo pole. A family of five was unraveling the small fish on the net. One of the fifteen and sixteen-year-olds who are plainly dressed but still can''t hide their heroic spirit is very agile and skillful, but the middle-aged woman beside him looks at him from time to time, with a worried look in her eyes. If you walk into the boy¡¯s face, you will find that his state is not right at this time, his eyes are absent, and his attention is obviously not on the action of the fish. It is hard to imagine that this is the case. He is still agile and there is no mistake. . The boy is named Xia Yu, the eldest son of middle-aged woman Chen Mei. He is 16 years old this year. He has been the pride of his parents since childhood, the role model of younger siblings, and the children of others. He is a famous child prodigy in the small fishing village. After Xia Yu was born, he learned to walk and talk faster than normal children. After school, he became the number one in his homework exams, which has continued to the present. And this is achieved when a lot of time is spent helping the family, which is even more impressive. Actually, Xia Yu''s original name was not the present one, but Xia Yu. The former has the same name as Si Yu, the founding monarch of the ancient Xia Dynasty, and the Xia surname is also the same as the name of the Xia Dynasty. The former is majestic and majestic, while the latter seems ordinary. It¡¯s also interesting, because Xia¡¯s father, Xia Dahai, has been a fisherman for generations. He has never read since he was a child. Xia Yu was born on a rainy day, so he directly named his son Xia Yu. is just why Xia Yu changed to Xia Yu, this process is a bit mysterious. Since ancient times, child prodigies have always been entangled with unfortunate fate, such as Gan Luo, Cao Chong and others. And Xia Yu seems to be the same. He has suffered from intermittent headaches since he was a child, his body is weak, and he seems to be dying prematurely. Xia''s father and Xia''s mother are very worried. They have spent all of their wealth and went to the hospital many times but can''t find any reason. For this, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother are broken! In Xiangjiang, superstition prevails, down to the common people, up to the rich and high-ranking officials, and they all believe in these gods and ghosts. For this reason, Xia Dahai, who was really helpless, took his son to find the master. The master made a calculation and said that Xia Yu was born from the sky above the stars and descended to the earth. He was born extraordinary and protected by the stars. It should have grown up healthily. However, he was born in rainy days, and moisture entered his body, which destroyed the origin. In addition, it was also named rain. The rain was weak and the people were just like the name, which made Xia Yu''s body weak. want to change, only to change the name. But changing the general name is useless. The master once again pinpointed a calculation, Yu Yu is the same pronunciation, in ancient times, there was Dayu to control water, and the word Yu had the ability to suppress water. It is even more important to suppress rain. But because fate has been affected for many years, it takes time to affect it, and it is impossible to get better all at once. The superstitious Xia Dahai nodded repeatedly, and changed Xia Yu''s name to Xia Yu. Not to mention, after the name was changed, Xia Yu''s body gradually became stronger. Although he still suffered from headaches, the frequency was greatly reduced. This made Xia Dahai believe in the words of the master, and everybody said thank the master. At the same time, what the master said about Wenquxing was also widely spread. In addition, Xia Yu really learned to excel, and he realized this title. Xia Yu hadn''t had a headache for two years, and Xia''s father and Xia''s mother thought that Xia Yu was cured. I never thought that three days ago when Xia Yu had a headache while pulling a fishing net, he fainted and fell into the sea. Fortunately, Father Xia hurriedly jumped into the sea and rescued Xia Yu. It''s just that after Xia Yu woke up, he became taciturn, always blank, and didn''t know what he was thinking. This scared Xia''s father and Xia''s mother and thought that something was wrong with him. But fortunately, other than that, Xia Yu is still delicious, work and other things are the same as usual, and communication is no problem, which makes Xia father and mother a little relieved. It''s just that Xia Yu only likes to be alone in a daze, but the couple feel helpless. Perceiving his mother''s expression and looking at her worriedly, Xia Yu smiled at her mother Chen Mei and said, "Mom, I''m fine, just want something." "That''s good." Chen Mei nodded, her expression relaxed a little, then she stopped talking and continued to explain the fish on the Internet. This is her character, not good at words, and is a typical Chinese woman''s character. Xia Yu kept moving in his hands, even though it had been three days, he still couldn''t believe what happened to him. He did not think that the rebirth and traversal things that are common in the novels in the previous life would happen to him one day. Xia Yu was also called Xia Yu in his previous life. He was an ordinary poor peasant child. He was the eldest of the three brothers in the family. He was also the eldest, and he was admitted to the university. However, in the face of Xia Yu¡¯s high tuition fees, and Xia Yu¡¯s two younger brothers were also in junior high school, it was the time to spend a lot of money, and Xia Yu¡¯s family¡¯s income could only rely on a few acres of land and the work of his parents, not so much. Money for Xia Yu to go to college. But reading is the only way out for the poor. In order for the children to stop digging in the soil with their faces facing the loess and back to the sky, Xia Yu''s parents gritted their teeth to make money, and at the same time asked people to borrow money in a low voice for their three sons to go to school. It is said that the children of the poor take care of their homes early. After Xia Yu went to university, in addition to studying hard, in his spare time he gritted his teeth and did part-time jobs by himself and went to school by himself. At the beginning, it was not self-sufficient enough, but by the time of the third and fourth year, there was even more money left for the family to support the younger brothers in school. After graduating from university, when his parents were seriously ill, Xia Yu took over the burden of the family and got up early to make money for his brothers to go to school and his parents for medical treatment. People are poor and have short ambitions. Xia Yu thought about love more than once, and also looked for it at the urging of his parents, but after learning about Xia Yu''s family, he turned around and left. After that, Xia Yu stopped wishing for love anymore, and just wanted to cultivate two younger brothers with all his heart, so as not to let him repeat his mistakes. Xia Yu saw all kinds of bragging about the rich when surfing the Internet, and even bragged a poem: The richest man with nothing, regrets creating Ali Jackma. Brother Xiao Ma in an ordinary family does not know his wife and beauty Liu Qiangdong. At this time, Xia Yu is always speechless when he sees netizens kneeling and licking. He had imagined more than once in his heart that if he had so much money, he would definitely make the **** more fresh and refined than Boss Wang and Boss Ma! is just this idea, and it can only be realized when dreaming. By the time he was 28, Xia Yu''s second brother had also graduated from college, and his third brother had also taken an internship in his senior year. The health of his parents has also improved a lot. At this time, Xia Yu seemed to be very happy. He used to get a bit of bitcoin in his idleness and he almost forgot. But once he read the news and found that the price of bitcoin had risen to $20,000, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have an account with More than a thousand bitcoins. After several turns, I finally found the account password. After logging in and seeing more than 1,400 bitcoins lying on the account, Xia Yu was completely confused. According to the Bitcoin price at that time, it is worth 200 million yuan in RMB! I had the two small goals mentioned by the richest man Wang! Soon, Xia Yu sold all the bitcoins for 200 million, and he was safe. Then immediately remitted one million to the family, and just explained it for several days. For this reason, Xia Yu could only put the other money away by himself, and did not dare to tell his parents. Suddenly become rich, and after so many years of depression, life has been ups and downs, and it is difficult to change my mentality. Xia Yu wanted to relax, so he went to a foreign Davos tour, and stayed in a five-star luxury hotel in the evening. Who knew he heard a few loud noises in his sleep, and then the mountains shook. Lost consciousness in a daze... Three days ago, Xia Yu discovered that he had become a teenager, and his mind was messed up, with many more memories. In the past few days, he had to sort out his memories and probably analyzed what happened. Only now, Xia Yu is not sure whether he was reborn here 16 years ago, only awakened his memory three days ago, or was reborn on the same young boy named Xia Yu three days ago. However, Xia Yu felt forward with a guess. Because the memory of this young boy Xia Yu was completely preserved, it made Xia Yu feel as if it had happened to him, without any discomfort. In addition, the young Xia Yu had headaches since he was a child and was a child prodigy. This is a kind of rebirth of a strong man, but because his soul is not strong enough, he cannot awaken the memory of his previous life. This time made Xia Yu think that he was reborn in the fantasy world. But immediately, recalling the memories of the young Xia Yu''s 16 years, Xia Yu laughed at himself, thinking too much. This is properly the modern world, or Xiangjiang in the early 1978 of the Gregorian calendar. Although he is in modern society and was born under the red flag in his previous life, he does not believe in gods and ghosts, but he is sure that he is born again here, and science cannot explain it. Like Newton in his later years, Xia Yu could only attribute it to the immortal **** and throw him over, so he could only comfort himself. It is said that rebirth has golden fingers, and Xia Yu is no exception, not to mention the genius body of this life, with superb memory and analysis ability. Just talking about the large group of miscellaneous memories in his mind, Xia Yu sighed, if he became a dog in this life, the law of heaven would be too difficult to tolerate! Just because in Xia Yu¡¯s mind, in addition to the memories of his two lives, UU reading and the memories of other people in the hotel, although it seems that they have lost the memories of the lives of those big men, their abilities and The most essential parts, such as useful work information, seemed to have been left behind and merged into Xia Yu''s memory. Moreover, Xia Yu has a feeling that his brain seems to become very clear, like a computer class, and brain memory is like a hard disk. The memories of elites from all walks of life are divided into categories like files, stored in his brain memory hard drive, and can be quickly found out when he wants to use it. The memories of those elites from all walks of life really opened Xia Yu''s eyes. Xia Yu sighed for his luck and accidentally stayed in that hotel. Because almost all the guests in this hotel are the top leaders who come to the World Economic Forum in Davos. They are all CEOs or executives of the world¡¯s top 500 giants such as banks, oil, military, Internet, heavy industry, automobiles, and aviation. Their memories contain their extremely strong capabilities and many unknown secrets. It became Xia Yu''s. Xia Yu didn''t know what happened that night, but guessed that it might be an explosion or an earthquake. It is estimated that the casualties were heavy. He didn''t know how the world would be shocked afterwards, after all, the dead were all powerful men. But he only knew that after sorting out these memories, he was completely shocked. This is why he is always in a trance. Anyone who has such an intangible wealth cannot completely calm down. is the fusion of memories of Xia Yu and Yu. In his previous life, he had read a lot of novels with a lot of brains, and had a strong receptive ability to calm down. PS: The new book has been released, it has been signed, and it can be collected with confidence. It is still the same type and the same taste. I would like to ask for your recommendation votes and collection support! Thank you! Chapter 2: I want to be a tycoon! ! ! After eating at noon, Xia Yu taught his younger siblings to do homework. In this life, he has a younger brother, Xia Ming, who is 14 years old this year and is in the third grade. A younger sister, Xia Xiaomei, is 12 years old this year, and is about to enter Secondary One soon. (Before the year of 2009, the junior and senior high schools were combined, and they were from the first to the seventh) Because of his genius brother as an example, and Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei adore Xia Yu, his words are very useful. Self-improvement, coupled with the guidance of a genius brother, in this case, Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei''s academic performance is also very good, and they are both in the top three in the class. This situation made Xia Dahai and his wife overjoyed, lamenting that their family has been fishing for a living for generations, and it is finally time to make a fortune. Also because of their three sons and daughters, Xia Dahai and his wife have a lot of face in the small fishing village. Even if people live better than their families, they actually look down on Xia Dahai and don''t show it. No one wants to offend Xia Dahai''s family. Only because the father depends on the son! After all, according to the current situation, even if the three brothers and sisters Xia Yu haven''t made a fortune, no one can deny that the three brothers and sisters Xia Yu will change the destiny of their family. Reading is the best way for the poor to change their destiny! Throughout the ages, there have been countless poor students who have made their careers in school! Just after Xia Yu finished teaching his younger siblings, there was a loud shout outside the door, quite like Zhang Fei''s roar. "Xia Yu, are you ready? Go!" Hearing this familiar voice, Xia Yu smiled, and came back with a sound. He walked quickly to the door and saw a strong figure. The person here is Xia Lei, Xia Yu''s good brother from childhood. Although he was only 17 years old, he was very strong and developed. At a height of 185 meters, it is hard to imagine that he almost starved to death when he was a child. Xia Lei¡¯s father and Xia Yu¡¯s father are considered relatives and have a relatively distant blood relationship, but his father was killed when he went out to sea fishing when he was a child, and was raised by his mother. His mother couldn''t make much money and couldn''t go out to sea to fish, but Xia Lei was very good at eating, which caused their family to have a very hard life, and they had no rice to cook several times. And Xia Yu has been very smart since he was a child, and he played well with Xia Lei. He always secretly took the family fish out and grilled them with Xia Lei, or made some other fruits to fill Xia Lei''s hunger. Because of this, Xia Yu and Xia Lei established a deep friendship. Another Xia Yu''s brain is so good, Xia Lei is used to listening to Xia Yu''s words, and his mother also hopes that Xia Lei will be with Xia Yu, so that Xia Yu can be used to influence Xia Lei and prevent his son from going out and learning badly with others. . So, for so many years, Xia Lei Duo Duo is Xia Yu''s loyal little brother. Unfortunately, since Xia Lei''s mother fell ill a year ago, Xia Lei was forced to drop out of school. Xia Yu was unable to keep Xia Lei in control at all times, which caused him to embark on a bad path for his livelihood. Xia Yu wanted to control, but thinking of Xia Lei''s mother''s serious illness, several times he wanted to speak but was silent. After all, everything is due to lack of money. People are poor and have short ambitions. Facing the pressure of life, people sometimes have to bow their heads! "Leizi, wait for me to get the things." No longer thinking about these sad things, Xia Yu said something and went into the house with a bag of seafood and went out. This is the material they are going to barbecue. "A Yu, why do you take so much? Uncle has to use it to sell money." Seeing Xia Yu''s large bag of seafood, Xia Lei is a fisherman after all. He immediately estimated the approximate value, and said in surprise. . Xia Yu smiled: "My parents knew that the soldiers had been admitted to the police, so they pretended to say so much to celebrate. I told them not to pretend to be so much. It''s just my parents'' wishes. I can''t refuse it, right? " Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s explanation, Xia Lei nodded and didn¡¯t say much. He knew the real reason was because he was good at eating. Xia Yu¡¯s parents pretended to be so much. He is such an adult, and he spent a year outside. He also understands some of the worldly humanities, and now he understands many things that he didn''t understand before. He was very grateful to Xia Yu''s family for their help. Talking and laughing all the way, Xia Yu and Xia Jun met and found him holding a box of beer, waiting on the side of the road. Xia Jun is 18 years old this year. He is related to Xia Yu''s family. His grandfather and Xia Yu''s grandfather are brothers, so they are considered Xia Yu''s cousin. In addition, Xia Jun and Xia Lei are also related by blood, so Xia Lei is also called Cousin Xia Jun. Xia Jun also played with Xia Yu and Xia Lei. A proper trio, but basically they listen to Xia Yu. Who makes Xia Yu¡¯s brain the best! In the small fishing village, Xia Jun can be said to be the best young man besides Xia Yu, but he was only concealed by Xia Yu''s light. However, a few days ago, Xia Jun was admitted to the police, and only then did the villagers wake up. In addition to Xia Yu, there is still a Xia Jun in the village who is very promising. "A Yu, Lei Zi, here comes!" Xia Jun smiled and said hello. Xia Yu and Xia Lei responded with a smile, and then the three of them walked towards the old place, where they had barbecue when they were young. When they arrived at the place, put down the food, the three of them got busy, and it didn''t take long for the tempting aroma to be emitted from the grill. The three took a bottle of beer and blew it up. "Congratulations, Brother Jun, I was admitted to the police, and I will call you Xia Sir!" Xia Yu held a bunch of grilled squid in one hand and beer in the other, and smiled at Xia Jun winkingly. "Yes, Brother Jun, congratulations! I want you to cover it in the future!" Xia Lei also said in his unique loud voice. "Good brother for a lifetime!" Xia Jun showed a sincere smile, and instead of saying thank you, he nodded and said. "ßÑ!" "Brother! It''s done!" The three of them slammed the beer bottles together, their eyes were full of seriousness, and then they raised their heads to dry a bottle. "Hahaha!..." After drinking, the three of them glanced at each other and laughed. Just when Xia Yu was laughing, he quickly glanced at Xia Jun and Xia Yu. A dignified light flashed in his eyes. Although both of them are older than him, they have followed him since childhood. He is the actual eldest brother. Now that both of them are out, he is not worried that they will change their attitude towards him, but rather worried about the relationship between the three brothers. From the moment Xia Jun was admitted to the police, the relationship between the three brothers began to become complicated! After all, the two of them walked in completely opposite directions, one is black and the other is white! Destined to be an antagonistic relationship! Unless one stops and retreats! But this is not realistic! This is their way. They have their own parents behind them. Even Xia Yu can''t force them to do anything. "Forget it, don''t think about it, there should be a way, as long as I rise up, under my intervention, these are minor problems." A thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind. After ¡¡¡¡, the three happily ate barbecue and drank beer. After drinking and eating, the three of them cleaned up and walked towards the top of the mountain. This has become their habit. After every barbecue, they like to stand on the top of the mountain and look out at the sea. That moment is truly relaxing! The three stood side by side on the top of the mountain, the refreshing sea breeze blowing on their faces, watching the vast sponge, enjoying this relaxed and happy feeling. Below the mountain is the busy Victoria Harbour. On the opposite side of the sea, there are many tall buildings and busy piers, making it a bustling scene. And over there, the magnificent Peninsula Hotel stands there. "The scenery here is still beautiful, I feel very relaxed every time I come!" Xia Jun said with emotion. Xia Yu and Xia Lei nodded in agreement. At this time, Xia Lei¡¯s eyes flashed with longing, and UU reading suddenly said: ¡°You said, we stand on the mountain and look at Victoria Harbour so beautiful. If we stand on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel and look down, we will What is it like?" As soon as this remark came out, Xia Jun''s eyes flashed a trace of doubt, and some longing, muttered: "I don''t know, it should be very beautiful..." Xia Jun and Xia Lei both looked at Xia Yu involuntarily and wanted to hear his opinion. This was their habitual reaction, and they wanted to hear Xia Yu''s opinion on many things. Xia Yu looked at the two people who were full of longing and yearning, then looked at the Peninsula Hotel in the distance, and said with a smile: "Does it look good? We only know when we go up!" "Can we go up? I heard that those who can go up are tycoons." Xia Jun blurted out, but his tone was full of uncertainty. "Yes, if I can go up once, I will be satisfied in my life!" Xia Lei said with emotion, eyes full of yearning. "Yes!" Xia Yu said firmly. Hearing what he said, Xia Jun and Xia Lei both looked at him and found that his face was full of seriousness. They didn''t question, and nodded heavily. Since Xia Yu said yes, then it must be. Although it is very difficult in their opinion, they have no confidence at all, but they believe in Xia Yu. He said that he could not run away. After all, since childhood, Xia Yu never broke his promise! Looking at the trusting gazes of the two, Xia Yu felt a little emotional, his eyes were a little blurred as he looked at the prosperous Peninsula Hotel in the distance, and his thoughts diverged. Thinking of the wandering of the previous life, the unrealistic fantasy, and the priceless memory in the mind of this life, Xia Yu''s eyes instantly became firm, and his fists clenched unconsciously. "Big man, if you can''t live and eat, you will cook as if you die! In this life, I want to be a tycoon!!!" Chapter 3: "Searching for the Qin" In the evening, Xia Yu''s family ate dinner. Xia Dahai asked suddenly: "Ayu, have fun with Junzai and the others this afternoon?" Xia Yu looked at his father and mother, nodded and said, "I am very happy." "After the army has passed the police test, Chunlian and his wife will be able to enjoy a good fortune in the future!" Chen Mei said with some envy. Chunlian she said is Xia Jun''s mother, and she has a very good relationship with her. "That was what they deserved. It''s hard to raise the army. Don''t envy you. A Yu must be more promising." Xia Dahai glanced at his wife and said with some displeasure. "Yes, our family A Yu is the most promising." Chen Mei was not angry, but cheerfully echoed her husband''s statement, looking at Xia Yu with expectation and pride. "Aming, Xiaomei, you study hard, and I will be happier like your elder brother." Xia Dahai suddenly said to the younger son and daughter who were eating silently. "I see, Dad!" The siblings nodded seriously. Xia Yu looked at his parents, who were only in their early 40s, with their white hair and faces full of vicissitudes, and she couldn''t help but feel sad. He also remembered his parents in his previous life. They were also in their prime of life, but they showed their oldness early because of the wind and rain. I don¡¯t know how sad they will be when they learn the news of the death of their eldest son in another world. Thinking of this, Xia Yu feels confused. Fortunately, he has two younger brothers, both of whom have grown up. They will surely be able to replace his parents in his previous life, and he also has 200 million in exchange for selling bitcoins, which are hardly spent and can be left to his family. , The two younger brothers must be able to marry a good wife, and the parents can have a good rest. This is the only thing Xia Yu can do. "My parents in this life are also my parents, I must let them live a good life!" Xia Yu thought to himself. "By the way, A Yu, did Xia Lei also go today?" Chen Mei said to Xia Yu again. Xia Yu glanced at his father and found that he also looked over. He understood what his parents meant when he asked them, and nodded without saying much. "Poor Luo Yan, a man managed to pull his son so big, but he fell ill, and his son was also in the society, hey...A Yu, don''t go so close to Xia Lei in the future. He didn''t come into contact with good people. , Don''t affect you." Chen Mei warned Xia Yu with some worry, for fear that his proudest son would be influenced by Xia Lei. Xia Yu glanced at his mother, then looked at his father, and found that his lips moved slightly. In the end, he didn''t say anything, but his eyes revealed worry. Although he didn''t agree with his mother in his heart, he nodded and did not refute his parents, lest his parents worry. Seeing Xia Yu nodded, Chen Mei only smiled and murmured: "That''s good, study hard, you will definitely be admitted to college, and your dad and I will help you to go to college if we work hard." Hearing his wife said that his eldest son could be admitted to college, Xia Dahai''s simple and honest face also showed a happy smile, agreeing with his wife''s words, it was a strange thing that Wen Quxing could not pass the college entrance examination. Looking at the happy parents, Xia Yu''s throat was surging, and the corners of his eyes were a little sour, and he was very unhappy. How similar! When I was admitted to college in my previous life, my parents had such a heartfelt smile on their plain faces. It¡¯s just that this life is destined to disappoint my parents! Because Xia Yu has already thought about dropping out of school these days. After all, the purpose of studying is to change the destiny of the family and oneself. As for the memory of two lives and other memories, he already had the ability to change, and he was still extremely capable. In his rebirth eyesight, this era is full of gold, and he has no time to spend in school anymore. If he chooses to continue to study and learn the things he has already mastered, but stays at Baoshan without entering, he is truly sorry for himself. Sorry family. It''s just that how to change the parents'' minds and convince them to agree that he dropped out of school is the real problem. Xia Yu can imagine that if he just said that he stopped reading, his parents would definitely collapse. Not to mention whether they can stand the gossip in the village, but the collapse of belief for more than a decade will cause serious harm to them. The strongest damage to a person is not physical damage, but damage to his spiritual beliefs! Looking at the smile from the heart on the wrinkled faces of his parents at this time, as a son of man, Xia Yu could not tell. "It seems that only by accomplishing a career before the beginning of the next semester, can you convince your parents, and also calm other people in the village, and reduce the impact of dropping out!" A trace of thought flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and he thought silently. "Fortunately, the winter vacation has just begun, and there are more than 50 days before the start of the next semester. It is now at the beginning of 1978 on the Gregorian calendar, and there is more than a month before the Lunar New Year in 1977. Time is pressing! Action must be taken now!" After eating, Xia Yu returned to the room and began to think about what to do. "I have the memory and ability of a financial giant. It is very easy to make money in the stock market, foreign exchange market, and futures market, especially in Xiangjiang. After all, this is not Wall Street where elites gather, but first of all I need to have funds! This is no way!" "I have the management ability and memory of the world''s top 500 CEOs. I am definitely not inferior to Li Chaoren and Bao Yugang. I am fully capable of getting high salaries. But this requires a resume. My age and academic qualifications are flawed and cannot be proved. No way!" "I have top-notch marketing skills, but the same age is a problem. I can''t reach the senior level. I can only make a small amount of money if I try my best. I don''t have enough time, so I can''t!" ¡­¡­ After thinking about many methods, Xia Yu felt helpless. A clever woman can hardly cook without rice! "In the final analysis, I don''t have the initial funds now, which has caused me to have an empty treasure, but I can''t use it. It''s so embarrassed!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu was a little aggrieved and very annoyed. No wonder that after grassroots became a billionaire, they said that the hardest thing to make is the first million! If Xia Yu had one million, he would definitely not be so annoyed as he is now. Many abilities can be used and he can make money in different ways. instead of being so helpless and worrying about the first barrel of blond hair! A somewhat irritable Xia Yu walked back and forth in the room, and suddenly glanced at a novel on the bedside. It was Jin Yong''s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a novel that Xia Yu liked very much before. "Fiction? Wait, I remember there seems to be the memory of a great online novel." Xia Yu said in surprise, then quickly flipped through the memory to find the memory of the great online novel. "I found it. Lingyun, the great **** of online novels, the representative of the great **** of hard work, has been on the street for fifteen years. He has read all kinds of novels, from martial arts to fantasy immortals; looking up all kinds of information, ancient and modern, China and foreign countries have been involved, and finally broke into a god! " is him! "Look at his memory, he loved martial arts novels since he was a child, read Jin Gu Liang Huang Wen''s novels, and read all kinds of fantasy and fairy-xia novels about the fires of previous lives." "It''s just that in this era of martial arts style, immortal heroes and fantasy are written without a reputation, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be popular, the risk is quite high, there is no time to waste, eliminate!" "Then you can only choose martial arts! The one that can guarantee the greatest fire is the master''s work, Jin Gu Liang Huang Wen!" "But now Jin Yong has already closed his pen; Gu Long fell ill last year, and his works have already been written; Liang Yusheng''s works have almost come out; Wen Ruian''s "Four Famous Catch" series are already being written; only Master Huang is still there. Specializing in traditional Chinese painting, he won''t quit his job until 1989 and start painting. That''s him!" Xia Yu quickly decided to use Master Huang''s works. It may be because of the fusion of memory. Xia Yu''s brain seems to be developed a lot, and his memory ability is very powerful. It is almost impossible to say that he is not forgetting. And the brain is like a computer, the memory is very clear, you can remember what you want to recall, so you can remember the novels that Ling Yun has read clearly, as if they were an e-book. "Master Huang has "Covering the Rain and Turning the Clouds", "Legend of the Great Sword Master", "Time and Space Waves", "Interstellar Prodigal Son", "Xun Qin Ji", "Broken Void", "Super Warrior", "The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty", etc. Wait, there are so many creations! Worthy of being a master of martial arts!" "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", "The Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty", and "Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds" have been put on the screen by TVB, all of which have been well received. In order to facilitate future adaptations, I chose them from here. They are also Master Huang''s most famous works! " Just, which one should I choose? 1.6 million words in "Looking for the Qin", 3.8 million words in "The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty", and 2 million words in "Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds". "Time is pressing, and there are fewer words to operate. In that case, let''s start with the shortest "Xun Qin Ji"!" After Xia Yu decides, UU reads www.uukanshu. com immediately turned over the notebook, took out a pen, and wrote three big characters "Xun Qin Ji" on the notebook, and then began to write quickly. Of course, Xia Yu also made some deletions and modifications for some of the content that is not suitable for children in the book, so that the plot can be smoothly connected. Because the content of "Xun Qin Ji" is fully remembered in his mind, except for a small part of the content that needs to be revised, Xia Yu is almost completely copying it, and it is faster than copying. After all, it is not used to turn back. As long as one sentence is copied, the next sentence is in his mind. There is no need to stop wasting time. Three hours passed. During this time, Chen Mei saw Xia Yu at the door writing and writing, thinking that his son was studying hard, so he did not come in to disturb Xia Yu, but gently closed the door to avoid the noise outside affecting his son. Learning. Three hours later, Xia Yu''s hands were sore, he paused and took a long breath, shaking his hands, and said with emotion: "The hands are almost gone, and the body is not good. It seems that I will exercise in the future. It just happens to have the memory of top bodyguards. You only need to exercise according to professional experience and it won''t be a problem." Looking at the dense text on the desktop, Xia Yu smiled comfortedly. "Hey, I copied nearly 10,000 words in three hours. The average person only took about 45 words per minute, and only 2700 words per hour without stopping. I actually reached about 3,300 words per hour, with an average of 55 words per minute. Words, good!" "The "Xun Qin Ji" has a total of 26 volumes, with an average of 60,000 words per volume. Please copy 3 volumes and submit your manuscript. At this rate, you can copy 13-15 hours a day, and you can copy 3 volumes in four days." After determining the goal, Xia Yu was full of energy, and after a short rest, he devoted himself to the great career of creation. Chapter 4: Post support Time flies like a white horse, and four days pass by in a flash. Looking at the thickly collapsed manuscript of the novel "Looking for the Qin", Xia Yu has a sense of accomplishment. Although this novel is not his original, it is not easy to copy it out. The first three volumes contain about 190,000 characters. It takes four days to copy it out, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. "It''s time to submit a manuscript!" Xia Yu muttered over a thick pile of novel manuscripts. Then, Xia Yu took the schoolbag and carefully packed the manuscript, said hello to his parents, and went out. In the past four days, in addition to being busy with writing, Xia Yu did not waste his free time. He has already considered the issue of submission. The most direct way to benefit from a novel is to publish it, but in the absence of a reputation, it is very difficult to publish and the royalties are very low. Even if it is successfully published, the probability of hitting the street is very high. After all, the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley! Xia Yu still has self-knowledge, and will not think that he is a rebirth. When the domineering spirit disappears, the publisher worships, the dealer kneels, and the readers gather... This situation is completely impossible! Even if it depends on the quality of the work, word-of-mouth will be gradually formed after publication, and eventually it will be a big fire, but Xia Yu has no time to wait! Therefore, direct publishing is not an option. But fortunately, Xiangjiang published novels in popular newspapers at this time, and published them when they became famous. This model is not only conducive to newspapers, to help them attract users; it is also conducive to publishing houses, helping them to screen excellent works, reducing risks, and saving publicity costs; at the same time, it is also conducive to authors by charging more money. It can be said to be profitable! So Xia Yu also intends to follow this rule, submit articles to the newspaper, and serialize it in the newspaper. Since I intend to serialize it in newspapers, the choice of newspaper is particularly important. In Xiangjiang, there are not many other things, but the most newspapers. Because the threshold for running a newspaper is low, as long as you have money, you can run a newspaper. Therefore, various newspapers are emerging one after another, and it is the most densely populated area in the world. Among them, the mainstream newspapers include Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Sing Tao Daily, Ta Kung Pao, Cheng Pao, South China Morning Post, etc. Among these, "Oriental Daily" is a grassroots newspaper, "The Hong Kong Daily" is aimed at senior intellectuals, and "Ming Pao" started from grassroots, but relying on Jin Yong''s sharp comments, it has been popular among intellectuals for so many years. Sing Tao Daily targets the middle and lower classes. The South China Morning Post is the largest English-language newspaper in Hong Kong... For Xia Yu, the English newspaper "South China Morning Post" was first excluded. And because his purpose of writing novels is to make money quickly, under this premise, the more influence he can have, the better, whether it is the treatment of his next book or the subsequent publication and adaptation of "Xun Qin Ji", etc., it is more beneficial. Moreover, the audience of "Xun Qin Ji" is the grassroots masses, so newspapers that are not aimed at the masses are also excluded. Thinking about it this way, "Ta Kung Pao," "Hong Kong Daily," and "Sing Pao" also ruled it out. Then there are only Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily and Oriental Daily. At this time, the top three sales are "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao." Ming Pao ranked third, with an average daily sales of around 130,000. Compared with the top sales in the peak period, one of the reasons is that Jin Yong has already closed the pen and lacks the novels of the martial arts masters comparable to Jin Yong. Although he has risen from the grass roots, Jin Yong has focused on knowledge in recent years. The elements who want to realize their political ambitions ignore the grassroots, so their influence among the grassroots has been relatively weakened in recent years. But as long as Jin Yong comes out again, or there are master-level martial arts masters'' works, the sales will definitely skyrocket again. "Sing Tao Daily" belongs to the Sing Tao newspaper industry. It was founded by Hu Wenhu in 1938 and is now controlled by his daughter Hu Xian. Hu Xian has also become the queen of the newspaper industry. Now the average daily sales volume of "Sing Tao Daily" reaches 160,000. Copies. Over the decades, channels have spread throughout Southeast Asia. And the "Oriental Daily" is completely rooted in the grassroots. It was founded by Ma Jia in 1969. Later, it has been claimed that it has been the number one sales volume for 35 years, with a maximum of 530,000 copies, covering more than 3.4 million people. "Oriental Daily" is the mouthpiece of the Ma family''s self-protection and a tool for whitewashing. But I have to say that they did manage to run the newspaper with their heart, and the client base they faced was large, so the sales are the highest now, with an average daily sales of 170,000 copies in this era. In addition to the sales factor, Xia Yu also considered the contribution fee. Although the novel will be well-known in Ming Pao, Mr. Jin is famous for his treatment of authors in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu does not prioritize fame now. What he needs is money, as much money as possible, so Xia Yu didn''t put Ming Pao first. The reason why the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" is so high is because of its wide sales channels, covering the entire Southeast Asia. In addition, the boss Hu Xian is known as the queen of the newspaper industry and is notoriously strong. Xia Yu did not put "Sing Tao The Daily is the top priority. As for the "Oriental Daily", Ma''s family has always wanted to develop the "Oriental Daily" better, plus the latest establishment, the most inadequate background, the most important one is the bad reputation of Ma''s family. The writers are all literati. Most of the famous writers cherish feathers and disdain to associate with Ma''s family, which led to the unsatisfactory collection of novels by Dongfang Daily. For this reason, "Oriental Daily" can only rely on money, hoping to attract more submissions, and see if we can select better novels. Therefore, the manuscript fee given by Oriental Daily is the highest. Fame and profit can be provided by the "Oriental Daily", and both have an advantage. Of course, Xia Yu has the priority to contribute to the "Oriental Daily". changing cars all the way, Xia Yu finally came to the door of the "Oriental Daily" building. looked up at the signboard of "Oriental Daily", Xia Yu showed a confident smile and strode inside. walked to the front desk, Xia Yu said to the receptionist: "Hello, I have written a novel and want to submit it. What is the process?" The receptionist was still taken aback when he saw Xia Yu coming in, after all, Xia Yu was just a teenager. At this time, he heard that Xia Yu was here to contribute. He blinked and made sure that he had heard it correctly. He was a little surprised and couldn''t help but smile. Inwardly, he sighed that Xia Yu was unable to do anything, but he did not laugh in person. Pointing in one direction, he said: "Post to those rooms, all of them." "Okay, thank you!" Xia Yu said thank you and walked to the room pointed by the receptionist. Looking at Xia Yu¡¯s back, the receptionist smiled and shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s better to use money. The president released the news to collect papers at a high price. For the money, everyone is coming to contribute. Now even the children are here. I really think money. There are so easy to pick up. What good novels can children write, ha ha..." Of course, Xia Yu didn''t hear the receptionist''s contemptuous words. He had already arrived at the door of an office with the words''manuscript reading room'' on the door. From the outside, you can see a middle-aged man looking down reviewing manuscripts, and his desk is full of novel manuscripts, like a hill. After ¡¡¡¡ knocked on the door, the middle-aged man didn''t look up, and said impatiently: "The door is unlocked, just come in". "Hello, I''m here to contribute!" Xia Yu didn''t care about his tone, walked in, said, and took out a thick stack of novel manuscripts from his schoolbag. At this time, the middle-aged man finally raised his head when he heard someone submitting a manuscript, but after seeing Xia Yu, his face changed a bit, he cursed in a low voice, and then became even more impatient. UU reading www.uuk¨¡nshu. Com directly put it on the table and went back to wait for the news. Then he lowered his head and continued to review the manuscript without even looking at Xia Yu. Seeing the contemptuous attitude of the middle-aged, Xia Yu clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, making him very upset. However, he could only endure what he wanted, put the manuscript on the top of the pile of manuscripts, said thank you, and went out. After exiting the door of Oriental Daily, Xia Yu shook his head somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still very unhappy." Before coming, considering his age, Xia Yu analyzed that he might be underestimated. After all, there is no shortage of people in this world who judge people by their appearances. He didn''t expect to encounter such people. "Forget it, it''s over anyway, I''d better buy some more notebooks, and write as much as possible while waiting for the news, so I can get more money at once." Xia Yu murmured, and then prepared to buy pens and paper. He has not considered the situation that the manuscript is not acceptable. After all, this is the work of the martial arts master. How could it not be published? It''s a pity that things are contrary to expectations. Xia Yu didn''t consider that in this world, after all, there are always ¡®thousands of horses but not Bole¡¯. After Xia Yu left, the middle-aged reviewing editor picked up Xia Yu''s novel draft and browsed it. When Xiang Shaolong crossed to the Qin Dynasty, he smiled disdainfully: "Mao did not grow up and learned how to write. Novels, I still write about Qin Dynasty, I don''t even know what Qin Dynasty is, what a little kid knows, what kind of messy crossing, silly writing!" The middle-aged reviewing editor flipped through it a few times at random, sneered, and threw it aside, where it was the pile of failed manuscripts. "There are still so many novels to be reviewed, most of them are rubbish, and it is annoying to read, %*!" The middle-aged editor rubbed his eyes, looked at the pile of manuscripts on the desktop, cursed, and continued to review the manuscript. ¡­¡­ ~: Update time plan, 2 updates per day The book is stable twice a day. It is tentatively scheduled at 8 am and 6 pm. If it will be changed in the future, we will notify you separately. Brothers will not wait in vain. Thank you for your support! Also, it is really important to ask for a recommendation vote cheeky, and it takes a big part in calculating the points ranking. Thank you! I wish everyone a happy life! ^_^ Chapter 5: Think of a way first Five more days later, Xia Yu finished the manuscript of 230,000 words, plus the previous writing, the total is 420,000 words. Only at this time, Xia Yu is not in the mood to write. He waited for so many days and there was no news. His small explanation was placed on the top. According to his estimation, it should have been reviewed long ago. Five days were enough for them to get news, but now there is no news. He doesn''t believe that "Xun Qin Ji" will be buried. After all, the quality is there. As long as you watch it, you can''t be buried. "Unless... that person didn''t even look at it because of my age." Xia Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, combined with that person''s attitude, the more he thought about it, the more possible it became. "I don''t have so much time to waste, let''s go and check it out. If it''s really not, then I will get the novel manuscript back and think of other ways!" Xia Yu calmed down, thought about it, and set off to the Oriental Daily "''S headquarters. Coming to the outside of the "Oriental Daily" building again, Xia Yu walked directly inside, found the office, knocked on the door and walked in. "Hello, have my manuscript been reviewed?" Seeing that the middle-aged editor was having tea with a younger man, Xia Yu walked over and asked straightforwardly. Seeing Xia Yu coming again, the middle-aged man retracted his gaze and continued to talk to another person. He pointed his finger at a large pile of manuscripts in a corner and said, "No, take it back by yourself!" After finishing talking, the middle-aged man did not even look at Xia Yu, and continued to chat with another person. Seeing the attitude that the middle-aged editor ignored, Xia Yu''s heart became angry, but he was too lazy to argue. It was a loss for the Oriental Daily that he didn''t take a look at "Xun Qin Ji", and it was just a waste of his many days that he was damned! I''d better find the original manuscript first, after all, it took four days! Xia Yu walked to a pile of manuscripts, searched quickly, and finally found some wrinkled manuscripts underground. He didn''t say much. He picked up the manuscript and put it back in his schoolbag, gave the middle-aged editor a cold look, and then headed. Going out without going back, don''t want to waste time saying a word. For a person who is cold-faced to him, why should he go and whisper, it is completely unnecessary! I have to say that the very different attitudes of Xia Yu and the other people who were drafted made the two people chatting in the office a little surprised. Then the middle-aged editor felt a little embarrassed in front of his colleagues, and snorted coldly: "Pump on the street boy, you can''t even learn to write novels as a person." While scolding Xia Yu, he didn''t think about it, because he didn''t know how to be a man! "Oh? Seeing that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, let''s write a novel. I really want to see what he writes." Another younger man said with a smile on his face. He was a little curious. What did the young man write? It was the first time he had met him who had written novels at such a young age and had the courage to contribute. The young man¡¯s attitude made the middle-aged editor a little uncomfortable. He said demeaning, ¡°What¡¯s so beautiful? If you haven¡¯t learned the history well, write about Qin Dynasty. The protagonist seems to be called Xiang Kelong. A modern person, he¡¯s still doing things through, messy. ." Seeing that the middle-aged editor was a little uncomfortable, the young man stopped talking about it. After all, he was the same editor and the middle-aged editor had older qualifications. There was no need to make trouble because of this small problem, so he immediately changed the subject. is just a young editor thinking to himself: "Modern people have traveled to the Qin Dynasty. It''s interesting. I just want to see this point. Unfortunately, he took the manuscript back..." ¡­¡­ Let''s talk about Xia Yu. After walking out of the "Oriental Daily" building, he clenched his fists, flicked hard, vented a few curses, and then thought about the problems he was facing now. "You can try the "Oriental Daily" in Ming Pao, but it¡¯s been nine days now. And there is a precedent in the "Oriental Daily", and it may be possible that Ming Pao will look down on people and have this risk. , If another five or six days is wasted and the draft is not enough, then it will be troublesome!" "Moreover, as my newcomer, the author''s remuneration will definitely be suppressed very low. It may only be ten thousand words, even if the maximum thousand words is 20 or 400 thousand words, it is only 8,000 Hong Kong dollars. The funds are too small and it will be very short in a short time. It¡¯s hard to do a career." "Calculating this way, the submission can no longer solve my problem. Moreover, I suddenly didn¡¯t want to publish "Xun Qin Ji". I was at a loss. Only by running my own business can I eat all the benefits. You can publish it yourself, hey!" Xia Yu thought unwillingly. Although "Xun Qin Ji" came easily, Xia Yu would not waste its value. Qualified merchants will fully dig out the value of a commodity until it is drained! I have to say that it seems to be affected by other memories, and those memories are mostly those of top elites and capitalists, so Xia Yu also unknowingly thinks about problems in this direction, turning to the direction of a qualified capitalist. But this is a good thing! "Now, I have to think of a way to obtain an initial capital in the shortest time and complete the original accumulation of capital!" Xia Yu murmured. "Think more seriously and see who has memories that fit the current situation." Xia Yu thought as he got on the bus. Memories kept jumping in his mind. When he was almost home, Xia Yu finally found the way he wanted. As soon as he got out of the car, he yelled in excitement, and then quickly ran towards a small shop. "Boss, bring me a set of dice and a deck of cards!" Xia Yu said directly to the shop owner. The owner of the commissary is an elderly person. He pushed his glasses and looked at Xia Yu with excitement on his face. He shook his head, took out a pair of dice and a pair of cards and handed it to Xia Yu. After collecting the money, The boss couldn''t help but exhorted: "Beauty, don''t go gambling, gambling will ruin the family!" "I see, UU Reading Thank you for reminding me that I bought it for someone else." Xia Yu glanced at the boss and said gratefully, then took the dice and poker and left. Looking at Xia Yu''s back, the commissary owner sighed and shook his head. He seemed to lament that a young man had gone astray. After returning home quickly, Xia Yu took a bowl and went out. The sound of shaking dice at home was too loud and would be noticed by his parents, causing unnecessary trouble. came to a clearing, Xia Yu closed his eyes and recalled his memories and experiences. When he opened his eyes, the whole person seemed to change a different temperament. He covered the bowl on the dice board and shook it quickly. At the beginning, Xia Yu always shook his head, but after a while, a smile appeared on his face. Every time he opened a bowl, the numbers were very interesting. There were 3 1 to 3 6s, or 123 straight. Wait, you can shake almost anything you want, as if the **** of gambling is alive. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu took out his playing cards and started playing again. The more he played, the more proficient he became, the more and more tricks he shuffled, the more flexible his fingers, and the ability to issue special cards every time he was dealt. After the cards were dealt again, they opened the poker, and there were three aces! "Hahaha!" Xia Yu laughed loudly, his eyes full of confidence, and the troubles of so many days disappeared completely. "Thanks to the memory of the master, I didn''t expect that there is a master gambling player living in that hotel. This will make me perfect! Haha!" Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Yu put away the dice and poker, and walked home. Ps: I didn¡¯t follow the routine. I feel that copying and submitting manuscripts is too cliche, and the protagonist also suffers. How can the protagonist do something that suffers, and it will make everyone unhappy, so I change the way and hope everyone is satisfied. Chapter 6: The sledgehammer test 2 The next day, Xia Yu brought more than one hundred yuan of change that had been saved over the years, and after talking to his parents, he walked towards the destination. Although he has been a good student all these years, he has not mixed up with people in society, and he has never been to a casino. But in this era, everyone knows about the situation in Xiangjiang. A mixed society is a way out for many candidates, and many students have turned into social workers. So Xia Yu inevitably met with these people and heard the content of their chats, so he knew the location of many gambling houses. When planning to earn the first pot of gold by relying on gambling, Xia Yu planned to put on a disguise in order to avoid being recognized by people. The best way is to use makeup, one of the four great magic arts. Unfortunately, A penny stumps heroes, can''t afford cosmetics, and memory is useless. Turn left and right, and finally came to the outside of an abandoned factory. The factory gate was only partly open. There were a few people shaking at the door, obviously to prevent slivers. Xia Yu was not afraid, and walked directly towards the gate. The gatekeeper only glanced at Xia Yu and didn''t care much when he saw that it was probably a child, but one of them didn''t seem to believe that a child had any money. He thought he was looking for a place to play, so he suddenly said:" Child, you are not here to play, go back." Xia Yu did not intentionally lower his head, but rather said usually: "I came here to play a few." Speaking, Xia Yu took out a dozen dollars from his pocket and shook it. Seeing that Xia Yu was indeed here to gamble, the man didn''t say any more, as long as they were sure that the visitor was a guest, they didn''t need to stop it. "go in!" Then, Xia Yu walked inside. As soon as he entered, he found that it was crowded, similar to a vegetable market. After scanning, Xia Yu found that there were at least a hundred people here, and the scale was not small! As soon as ¡¡¡¡ left, there was a lot of noisy voices of various betting and shouting. Of course, Xia Yu Yuguang also caught a glimpse of some people patrolling here, each of them is relatively tall, and you don¡¯t need to think about it to know that they are the people of the gambling house, the purpose is to supervise these gamblers, prevent people from paying thousands, and keep an eye on the people who have made money. If you encounter a master, treat it specially to reduce losses! Of course, Xia Yu doesn¡¯t doubt that if someone makes trouble here, these people definitely don¡¯t mind letting people see the cruelty of society, such as: sandbag big fist! Without thinking too much, Xia Yu went straight into the crowd, holding the money in his hand, and began to observe calmly, just not betting right away. Knowing yourself, knowing the enemy, you will win all battles, first look at what gambling method is here, and then look at the characteristics of these bookmakers, wait until you know in your heart, Xia Yu can think about the approximate steps. Anyway, Xia Yu made up his mind after entering this, just four words: hold on! Don''t wave! After a while, Xia Yu strolled around, already knowing it, there is no need to wait any longer. He found a place with a lot of people and moved over. It was a dice-rolling bank. He had seen it just now. The game-playing technique is not strong, and it can be said that there is almost no technique. It is completely luck to sit the bank, but his position It has been reformed, and there are ways to pay thousands. But it doesn''t matter. Xia Yu doesn''t plan to bet too much to force him to pay a thousand. He just needs to make money low-key. Who made enough money for a game? Although several dozen times of bets were made directly, the funds definitely rolled up and down, but this is a death-seeking behavior, and you have to go out! In other people¡¯s places, it¡¯s not up to others to decide whether it¡¯s black or white. If they are determined to lift the table and say that Xia Yu is a thousand, what can Xia Yu do? So, it¡¯s better to make a fortune with a muffled voice, with a long stream of water, a little bit of digging, and a brick every day, the corner of the wall can definitely be dug down. "Come on, I''ve placed a bet, I''m sure to leave!" The dealer shook the dice again, held the bowl in one hand, and began to shout loudly. Seeing gamblers around him betting one after another, ranging from dozens to hundreds, even a handful of thousands, Xia Yu directly drew out fifty Hong Kong dollars to overwhelm him. He has already heard it. Three dice. The number of points is five, five and four. "Buy and leave, open! Don''t let it go!" After finishing talking, the dealer turned over the big bowl directly, and saw that the points with three dice facing up were impressively five, five and four! Xia Yu''s face was calm, and he wasn''t self-satisfied. For the gambler in memory, listening to dice was just a simple technique, and there was nothing to be contented about. "Five-five-four, big, buy big ones and make money, take money to get money!" once and again, fifty became one hundred, Xia Yu continued to bet... Next, Xia Yu won a few more hands, then deliberately lost a hand, and then went on to bet a few dozen less, a few hundred more, winning more and losing less. During this process, Xia Yu always stuffed the money he earned into the inner pocket of his clothes when people were not paying attention, and the money in his hand was always no more than five hundred. At the same time, Xia Yu didn''t forget to perform. He kept quiet when he won, and always sighed when he lost, leading others to think that he had lost miserably. The acting skills are probably enough for the Oscar statuette. UU Reading www.uukANAnshu.com An hour passed without knowing it, Xia Yu held only more than one hundred dollars in his hand, but no one knew that the inner pocket of his clothes was already filled with money, although Xia Yu did not remember How many, but he estimated that at least three thousand Hong Kong dollars. didn''t stay in a bank for too long to avoid the banker''s reaction to the fact that the amount of money was wrong and suspect him. Xia Yu changed another villager and continued the routine just now. One morning passed, Xia Yu''s bloated coat was already full of money, but he lost golden light in his hands, and there was nothing left. also arrived at the dinner point, many people began to leave, preparing to go home for dinner, Xia Yu also walked outside among the crowd. While walking outside, Xia Yu also found that someone was observing the people who left. You don''t have to think about knowing that it was the people in the casino observing who made the money. Xia Yu looked at a red-faced person next to him, and found that he had been seen several times by the people in the casino. He shook his head silently in his heart. It is estimated that if this person comes again, he won''t let him go if he doesn''t let him lose all his underwear. Thinking about returning, Xia Yu looked frustrated when he was passing by the casino, muttering: "Damn, I don''t have any money to eat, it seems I have to find a fat sheep to spend some money... " Vaguely, Xia Yu also saw the mockery in that person''s eyes. Xia Yu ignored it, successfully walked out of the gambling shop, and then found that no one was following, quickly returned home and entered the room. After closing the door, Xia Yu began to pay from the clothes. A lot of them were taken out and put them on the table to make sure that there was no money on the clothes. Xia Yu threw the clothes aside and saw a hill of Hong Kong dollars on the table. He smiled and then quickly counted. stand up. "One hundred, two hundred, three hundred..." Chapter 7: Legacy Fourteen thousand three hundred and sixty! After confirming the numbers, the smile on Xia Yu''s face couldn''t be hidden. The money came quickly. Although he had seen hundreds of millions of dollars for the gambler in his memory, it was the gambler''s after all. The memory can''t be taken out. And now the more than four thousand Hong Kong dollars is real money. The money that can solve Xia Yu''s problem is only real when it is touched! "It took a 400,000-character novel to submit a manuscript to get less than 10,000 manuscript fees. It took so many days. But now it''s only fourteen thousand in the morning. No wonder so many people in the world gamble for money. This money is so easy to come by, it''s easy to get addicted..." Xia Yu said with emotion. But he was not stunned. He has the memory of a master gambling player. He knows all the inside stories about spinach. After knowing these truths, if he still gets lost, his brain is definitely broken! He has always been sober, relying on gambling only to earn the first pot of gold, and then start his own business, otherwise, no matter how much money he makes by gambling, he will have to see the light! "Continue to work hard, this more than four thousand Hong Kong dollars is not enough to buy a newspaper. As far as the plan is concerned, it is still a lot worse. Let''s go again in the afternoon!" Xia Yu murmured, looking at the pile of money on the desk, narrowing his eyes. After eating at noon, Xia Yu went to the casino again, and earned more than 16,000 Hong Kong dollars in one afternoon, plus 30,000 in the morning. At dinner in the evening, Xia Yu''s parents just asked about where to go. After Xia Yu made up a random reason, they stopped asking more. They were very relieved that they had not worried about their son since they were young. In the evening, Xia Yu didn''t go to the gambling shop again. After all, the night was the time when snakes and rats were rampant. He didn''t need to go out to avoid unnecessary trouble. Of course, at home, he was not idle, and continued to copy the novel with pen and paper. After all, copying more now will save more time to deal with other things in the future. "Hey, brother, are you writing a novel?" Just as Xia Yu concentrated on copying the novel, his younger brother Xia Ming''s voice came from behind. Xia Yu raised his head and realized that his younger brother didn''t know when he stood behind him, looking at the novel he had written curiously. Xia Yu did not deny it, smiled and said: "Yes, you are done with your homework?" "It''s done, don''t worry, brother!" Earlier, Xia Yu had considered the situation of his family discovering when he wrote a novel. He didn''t intend to hide it. Instead, he would deliberately let his family know in the future. After all, this was a bargaining chip to persuade his parents to agree to drop out of school. Although he can make a lot of money by relying on gambling, he can''t use that money out, there is no way to explain it! But he still has to talk about his wealth in the future, so there must be a reason, and writing a novel is a good explanation. First of all, his father believed in the words of the master and always said that Xia Yu was a literary and musical star, and Xia Yu was really good at learning, and it was normal to be able to write novels. Secondly, because of Jin Yong and other masters of martial arts novels, the status of writers in Xiangjiang is also very high, and everyone knows that writers¡¯ income is very high, don¡¯t you see that Ming Pao, which is worth at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, is not gold? Yong developed by writing novels? Writing novels has both face and leeway. When Xia Yu''s "Xun Qin Ji" is popular in Xiangjiang, the weight of Xia Yu''s words will be very heavy. When the time comes to talk to his parents about dropping out, parents must also seriously consider . Of course, let the parents know that he can''t write the novel so quickly, and you must wait for him to produce the results. At that time, it will be more shocking. Therefore, Xia Yu told his brother: "Aming, don''t let my parents know that I am writing a novel, you know?" "Okay, don''t worry, brother, I promise you won''t talk about it!" Xia Ming raised her head and said, with no mention of it. "By the way, brother, can you show me the novel you wrote..." After hesitating, Xia Ming said with a bit of temptation, looking at Xia Yu''s eyes full of expectation. Xia Yu smiled knowingly. He knew that he was influenced by him, and his younger brother Xia Ming also liked to read martial arts novels. The book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his room was turned over five or six times by his brother, and his brother was definitely a loyal martial artist. Novel iron fan. "The manuscript at the beginning is in my drawer. Go get it yourself. Just be careful not to mess it up for me." Xia Yu smiled and pointed to the drawer and said. "Okay, don''t worry, brother!" Xia Ming said happily, and then hurriedly opened the drawer next to him, took out the manuscript, and looked at it. After a while, he was fascinated by it. Then, Xia Yu ignored his younger brother and continued to devote himself to the great cause of creation. In the next two days, Xia Yu went to the gambling shop again. By the next night, his funds had reached more than 120,000. In this era when workers¡¯ wages were only a few hundred a month, it was considered small. Have assets. But, thinking of what happened in the afternoon, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. UU Reading After three days, about 120,000 funds flowed out, and the gambling shop also noticed something wrong. Xia Yu discovered in the afternoon that the frequency of patrols by the people watching the venues was also higher, and the dealers also looked at the gamblers from time to time. Xia Yu could feel that someone was suspicious of him. Fortunately, he noticed it in time and gambled a lot. Just dismiss others'' attention. But from then on, Xia Yu consciously stopped, and went home until he was almost ready for dinner. "It seems that the gambling shop can''t go, it''s a pity..." Xia Yu is a little regretful. After all, although he has more than 120,000 funds, it is enough to buy a small newspaper or run a small newspaper by himself, but it does not suit him. plan of. If implemented according to his plan, the more than 120,000 funds will not be enough, and some more funds must be raised! "Could it be another gambling house?" An idea flashed through Xia Yu''s mind, and he immediately rejected it. Gambling workshops are all run by associations. For many associations, a lot of news is shared. Xia Yu was originally the subject of suspicion. If he goes to another gambling house, if he is discovered by the first gambling house, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not doubt it. If he is found, it will be a bad thing. And his family, Xia Yu didn''t want to take this risk. It¡¯s just that the problem of lack of funds has to be resolved! "In that case, let''s get money from the stock market! Just take a look at what the Xiangjiang stock market is like in this era, or get a feel for it! By the way, familiarize yourself with the memory!" Thinking of the memories of the financial giants in his mind, Xia Yu''s eyes Squinting slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, muttering to himself. After making a decision, looking at the darkness outside the window, he can only devote himself to the great cause of creation again, and the matter of going to stocks will have to wait until tomorrow! Chapter 8: Stock market second Early the next morning, Xia Yu went out after breakfast. He did not go to the stock market first, but came to HSBC with a large pile of cash. After handling an account, he handed the money to the staff. The staff looked at Xia Yu in surprise. He couldn''t think of it. This teenager can come up with so much money, and many of them are change. He could guess that the money seemed to be something wrong. After all, a young man would have given so much money, as long as he was not a fool, he would doubt it. But he didn''t ask too much, as long as he did his job well, there was no need to cause trouble. Xia Yu didn''t care about the staff''s attitude. After handling the account, Xia Yu left the HSBC business hall and set off for the Kowloon Stock Exchange. Coming to the outside of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, although it was not time to open the market, many people had gathered here. Xia Yu smiled as he watched the crowds inside. Although Xiangjiang has not yet become an international financial city for later generations, there are already some signs, as can be seen from the stock market. Of course, there are some reasons for the rise of the Hong Kong stock market. First of all, most of the population in Xiangjiang comes from the southeast of the mainland. Chaoshan people are very gambling and do business. Therefore, the Hong Kong stock market is very prosperous, and it can be said that almost everyone can trade in stocks. This situation has provided a huge stockholder base for the Hong Kong stock market. Secondly, the later generation of Xiangjiang River became an international financial city because of geographical reasons. Xiangjiang is a window of the mainland to the outside world. With the support of a population of more than one billion people, it is strange that Xiangjiang does not take off. In Hong Kong, the stock market price can be seen as the Hang Seng Index publicly released by the Hang Seng Bank in 1969, referred to as the Hang Seng Index. The prosperity of the Hong Kong stock market can be seen from the four stock exchanges in Hong Kong. The future existence of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has not yet appeared, and it will not officially operate until 1986. At present, the four major exchanges of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (established in 1947), the Far East Stock Exchange (established in 1969), the Gold and Silver Stock Exchange (established in 1971), and the Kowloon Stock Exchange (established in 1972) coexist. situation. Because he lives in the Kowloon area, Xia Yu didn''t want to be near and far, but directly chose the Kowloon Stock Exchange. After all, he only has such a small amount of capital, which is the same everywhere. "While the market is not open, buy some newspapers first and see if there is any useful information." Xia Yu thought for a while and walked directly to the newsstand not far from the door. I have to say that those who come to the exchange are not bad at money and understand the importance of news. Of course, newspapers that can provide news are their first choice. Therefore, the business of the newsstand was very good. The owner of the newsstand couldn''t collect the money. Xia Yu didn''t pick and choose. He took a copy of various newspapers and paid to leave. No time wasted. Xia Yu started reading directly from the top "Chinese Journal of Economics", and did not care about other current affairs and entertainment news. He turned directly to the economic and financial section, browsed quickly, and memorized useful information. Time passed in Xia Yu''s concentration. After half an hour, Xia Yu read the news and analysis of more than a dozen newspapers, then closed his eyes and meditated. The exact news in these newspapers, Xia Yu focused on memorizing, and then integrated all the news that could be linked and integrated, and he really got some useful news for him. As for the analysis of those editors in the newspaper, Xia Yu could not deny it. Judging from his fusion of the memories of so many financial tycoons, the analysis of these so-called experts can be said to be relatively naive, and some analysis is full of loopholes. Even if the analysis is correct, the analysis is relatively simple, and ordinary people can''t find it even if they look at it, which is completely useless to Xia Yu. Of course, even so, Xia Yu also discovered that some of the editor¡¯s analysis had some unique insights, and the level was much higher. He paid special attention to it, such as "Hong Kong Economic Journal", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" etc. Several large newspapers. "The time is up, the market is open!" Just then, a voice came from the Kowloon Stock Exchange, and it was time. Xia Yu stood up, patted his pants, and walked towards the Kowloon Stock Exchange. As for the newspapers he bought, he lost all of them. To him, it was no longer useful. Everything that should be recorded was already in his mind. After entering the Kowloon Stock Exchange, Xia Yu walked towards the HSBC Securities Investment Department. If he wants to trade stocks, he needs to open an account first. After opening the account, Xia Yu stood in the hall and observed. Although it was only in 1978, there are already many companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Although most of the companies are owned by the so-called big and small families of the Hong Kong, there are also companies started by grassroots tycoons. After all, most of the people in Xiangjiang are from the southeast of the mainland. These places have a strong business atmosphere, Zhejiang merchants, Wenzhou merchants, Chaoshan merchants, etc., all have a daring personality, so it is normal for some people to break the ground. Thing. Because there are many listed companies, Xia Yu didn''t have so much time to analyze them one by one, so he started searching directly based on the useful information obtained in the newspaper. Blue water business! is it! Blue Water Commercial Company is a small company with a single business chain and poor anti-risk ability. A bit of trouble can easily affect the stock price. According to the news in the newspaper, another company in the same field that is several times larger than Blue Water Commercial invested in With a large amount of funds to develop new products, UU read and according to the clues, Jiusheng Commercial should have succeeded at this time, and the news is about to be released. In addition, the stock price of Lanshui Commercial has fluctuated slightly in the past few days. Someone should have received some news. Xia Yu guessed that it might have been done by people from Jiusheng Commercial. He planned to take the opportunity to release news and cut the meat of Lanshui Commercial and retail investors. . Therefore, Xia Yu has two choices, buy Jiusheng business up, or buy Bluewater business down; that is, it is often said to do long-term business, or short Bluewater business. And because the scale of Jiusheng Business is several times that of Lanshui Business, and the plate is much larger, even if it is good news, the increase of Jiusheng Business will not exceed the decline of Blue Water Business. So relatively speaking, buying blue water business will make more profit! Coupled with Xia Yu''s plan to use five times the leverage, the profit is absolutely considerable. Of course, the risk of short-selling is also greater. If, after buying the blue water business and falling, encounter the dealer forcibly raising the stock price, Xia Yu uses five times the leverage, it is likely to be liquidated, it depends on when the news of Jiusheng Business broke out Up. However, risks and benefits coexist. Judging from the memories of the financial tycoons in Xia Yu''s mind, the risk of a business decline in buying blue water with five times leverage is negligible, so Xia Yu is not afraid of this risk. What''s more, the money comes too easily, even if it is a loss, Xia Yu feels distressed at most! Big deal, take another risk and go to Hong Kong Island and spend a day or two to earn it back. I thought about it again and found that there was nothing missing. Xia Yu came to the seat of HSBC''s investment department. Ignoring the staff''s somewhat surprised gaze, he directly allocated funds with five times leverage, leveraging 600,000 funds to buy Blue Water. 120,000 funds are considered to be too much among retail accounts, and they are already eligible to apply for five times leverage to allocate funds. Chapter 9: Stable first more After the confirmation, HSBC''s investment department placed an empty bill of 600,000 blue water business, which was eaten by other institutions within a short time. Seeing this, Xia Yu was relieved. Empty orders are actually orders that are sold first and bought later, which is a bit like a commercial credit transaction model. Most of the empty orders are received between institutions, and the institutions that received these 600,000 empty orders are estimated to lose money. For those institutions, this amount of money can only be regarded as a small amount, and Xia Yu will not be noticed if it loses. What''s more, it was not Xia Yu''s hand, but HSBC''s investment department. For this small amount of money, Xia Yu could not be found, so Xia Yu was not worried about exposure. Then, Xia Yu left it alone, bought a notebook and pen, found a place to sit down, and began to record and analyze, so that he could be as familiar with the Xiangjiang stock market at this time. Just after Xia Yu asked HSBC''s investment department to place an empty order for Bluewater Commercial, he was on another seat on the Kowloon Stock Exchange. An employee who was following Lanshui¡¯s business news in real time showed shock on his face and quickly stood up and walked towards the manager¡¯s position. "Boss, in addition to us, there are people who have put out an empty order for Bluewater Business. The order of 600,000 funds has been eaten." The staff member said in the ear of the manager. Hearing what he said, the manager frowned, his eyes sharpened, and he muttered, "Could it be that the news has been leaked?" Thinking of this, the manager''s mind turned sharply. After a while, he asked, "Have our planned goals been completed?" "Boss, there is a gap of 2 million Hong Kong dollars from the planned quota. The other empty orders have been found to take over. The plan is expected to be completed this afternoon." The employee said without hesitation. He kept remembering this data every time how many orders were placed. He has records. "Don''t wait for the afternoon, think of a way to hang out all this morning, and don''t let others steal the profit!" The manager waved his hand and ordered directly. "Good boss, I''m going now!" The employee nodded, and then walked directly to the seat, preparing to place an empty order. The manager was not free, so he went directly to the office, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Zhang Sheng, there may be some problems with the plan, the news may have been leaked, and other agencies have found out... So in order to avoid accidents, I hope your news will be announced at noon today, don¡¯t wait until tomorrow... Okay, thank you Zhang Sheng..." After finishing the phone call, the manager relieved the slightly raised heart, and then followed up the progress of the employee''s pending orders. During this, the manager also asked people to inquire about the news, and found that it was an empty order issued by HSBC. After receiving this news, the manager was shocked, it turned out to be HSBC! If HSBC really ends, it will definitely **** the meat from his mouth, and definitely have the ability to **** it. After all, in Xiangjiang, HSBC can be said to be a giant, even if it is only a branch of the securities investment department, it will be more than a large securities company. Cattle. And the manager has no doubt that HSBC does have the strength to get the exact news. After knowing that it was the empty order issued by HSBC, the manager did not dare to delay any more and directly urged his subordinates to speed up the order. Until the 2 million empty order was listed and was eaten, the morning was about to pass, and when the stock market was officially closed for adjustment, there were still no other empty orders listed, and the manager was completely relieved and smiled. "It seems that a certain HSBC employee is a little skeptical, so I put an empty order of 600,000 yuan to test the water, which is much better than expected. Fortunately, the goal is expected to be completed ahead of schedule." Of course, it¡¯s impossible for Xia Yu to know that the 600,000 empty order he asked HSBC''s investment department to put up a department manager of a securities company. Even if he did, he would just smile and ignore it. This is the prestige of HSBC, but not his. That''s how the morning time passed. During this period of time, although there were empty orders, Lanshui Commercial¡¯s stock price rose a little, causing Xia Yufu to lose some money, but Xia Yu didn¡¯t care about it after looking at it. There is still some distance from the liquidation. ! And he has seen it, it is a sign of preparation. Sure enough, during the lunch break, there was a piece of news in TVB''s news about Jiusheng Commercial, which was exactly the same as Xia Yu analyzed. When he saw this news, the corners of Xia Yu''s mouth rose slightly. stable! Unsurprisingly, not long after the market opened in the afternoon, Jiusheng Commercial¡¯s stock price flew upwards like a rocket. At the same time, several other companies in the same industry are unlucky. After all, this industry is relatively small, and there are only a few listed companies, and Jiusheng is the leader in this industry. It happened that the boss broke the good news, and the market is so big, Jiusheng Commercial can be expected to grab more market, then for several other listed companies in the same industry, this is bad news. Sure enough, the stock prices of several other companies started to fall. Among these companies, Bluewater has the worst commercial strength and a relatively single profit method, so the ability to resist risks is the worst and the least favored. Most of the damage caused by Jiusheng''s good business has been transferred to Bluewater. Up. Plus there are institutions shorting, the stock price is like a laxative, and the stock price plummets! When Bluewater''s stock price plummeted, those institutions that received empty orders also responded, but in the face of the general trend, the risk was too great, and they chose to give up instead of making unnecessary struggles. When Lanshui Commercial¡¯s stock price began to plummet, UU Reading Xia Yu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting for the final payment. The general trend has been achieved, and Lanshui Commercial is destined to be stepped on by Jiusheng Commercial, and there is no chance to come back! Of course, although Xia Yu has determined that he can make money, he did not waste time. He still analyzed the situation of various companies in the stock market according to the plan, looking for opportunities to take advantage of. In the next three days, the stock market was still open, and Bluewater¡¯s stock price continued to fall. Every day, there were negative news about Bluewater. Although it was in small newspapers, it still caused the bluewater¡¯s stock price. Hurt. Xia Yu doesn¡¯t have to guess. It must be a message from a short-selling bluewater business organization, praying for maximum profit, so as to absorb the blood of bluewater business as much as possible, and make the stock price of bluewater business fall as much as possible. As for Blue Water Business, will it go bankrupt? This is none of their business! Their purpose is only one: to make money! Make money! Make money! ! ! Xia Yu didn''t have to do anything, he just took a ride and let other agencies work hard, he took the opportunity to eat some meat. This is the function of ability. Even those who are able to trade in stocks can make money by taking a ride, avoiding risks and withdrawing funds in time. Those who are incapable of trading in stocks can only look at luck, resignation to fate, and the mood of the dealer. They don¡¯t know when they lose money. In the past three days, Xia Yu stayed in the Kowloon Stock Exchange during the day to analyze stocks and record useful information. The notebook was full. In the evening, Xia Yu copied the novel at home. After three days, he also copied 60,000 words. Adding the previous 420,000 words, 480,000 words have been collected, and he is one step closer to finishing copying! Of course, how many words copied in the novel is not the point. The point is that after three days, Xia Yu made a lot of money! The total capital has become... Chapter 10: Capital surge second 520,000 Hong Kong dollars! And this is the money he can get! Except for the principal of 120,000, he made an equivalent of 400,000 Hong Kong dollars! I have to say that the stock price of Bluewater is low enough by the trend. If there is no market maker to control and let the stock price fall freely, how can Xia Yu make so much? This is from the decline in the stock prices of several other companies in the same industry. It can be seen that the blue water business can only be blamed for being too weak and being targeted by the dealer! Of course, although Xia Yu made 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, it does not mean that this is the money in his account. The money in his account is more than 520,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the net profit in his hands is not so much. After all, HSBC''s investment department is not the Virgin, it will help Xia Yu to operate in vain, and also used 5 times leverage to allocate funds to provide financial support for Xia Yu! Since it is not for nothing, of course a commission is required! In addition to collecting a sum of money from the HSBC investment department, the Kowloon Stock Exchange also collects a portion of the money. That is 2.5% commission, 1% stock stamp duty, investor compensation levy 0.02%, SFC transaction fee 0.05%, Kowloon Exchange 0.05%, clearing company settlement fee 0.02%, etc., which add up to a total of about 3.6% of Hong Kong stock transaction costs. . As long as you trade stocks on an exchange, you must be drawn the money, no one can escape! So, running a stock exchange is also a business, and a stock exchange is equivalent to a company. This is why there are four exchanges in Xiangjiang. After all, the threshold for setting up an exchange is relatively low, and it is sure to make a steady profit without losing money. You can also get all kinds of conveniences. Using the stock exchange can also exchange favors and benefits. With so many benefits, of course everyone wants to participate. This is also not allowed by the Hong Kong government, otherwise there will definitely be a fifth and sixth stock exchange. Of course, later the Hong Kong government also learned that multiple stock exchanges are extremely unfavorable to the Hong Kong stock market, so it took measures to integrate the four exchanges into one. Not much to say, Xia Yu is not thinking about these doomed things now. He has already applied for all the funds to be withdrawn after the settlement. Even if the staff of HSBC''s investment department advised him to settle the settlement later, Xia Yu ignored it. Although there is still room for the share price of Blue Water Commercial Company to fall, for Xia Yu, he no longer appreciates making a profit. He has more important things to do. After all, the stock market will be closed for two days. If the funds are not raised, Xia Yu''s funds are equivalent to idle, and Xia Yu''s time for these two days is completely wasted. More than ten days have passed, and his time is a bit tight. For him, time is more valuable than that point of profit! Seeing that Xia Yu firmly wanted to withdraw the funds, the staff of HSBC Investment Department could only agree with some regrets, but he did not offend Xia Yu. After all, he saw Xia Yu¡¯s ability, although he suspected that there was an element of luck. , Or what news he got, but it didn¡¯t matter, he just knew that HSBC also took a sip of soup. Therefore, Xia Yu successfully submitted the settlement application and only applied for withdrawal after the settlement was completed tomorrow. It is not that Xia Yu can withdraw cash if he wants to withdraw. He has to wait until the day after tomorrow to transfer all the funds to his bank account. This has to say the difference between Hong Kong stocks and previous domestic A shares. Hong Kong stocks are the same as U.S. stocks. Stock trading can be traded at T+0. You can buy on the same day and sell on the same day. You can trade countless times on the same day, whatever you want. But after the toss, if you want to withdraw the money from the sale, you have to wait until the second working day after the transaction day. This is the T+2 settlement, and T refers to the day of the transaction. Before T+2, customers could not withdraw cash, physical stocks, and transfer of purchased shares. The previous generation of mainland A shares is different. In 1992, the Shanghai Stock Exchange also implemented the T+0 trading rule. In 1993, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange also abolished the T+1 trading rule and implemented the T+0 trading rule. However, the stock market went crazy afterwards. Taking into account the risk control, it was forced to change back to the T+1 settlement system in 1995, and the transaction was also T+1, that is, buying on the same day can only be sold the next day, not the same as Hong Kong stocks. The system of buying on the same day and selling on the same day, the T+1 system has not changed until 2017. The mature stock markets are all T+0 transactions. From this point, it can be seen that the stock market system in the mainland was not particularly mature in the past, and the state control is still very strict. And the difference between Hong Kong stocks and later generations A shares is that there is no daily limit system. It is okay for a stock to rise ten times or fall ten times a day, instead of a daily limit of 10%. The trading rules of these Hong Kong stocks are very unfavorable for retail investors. They are particularly vulnerable to stock market fluctuations. There is no buffer time for losses, and they can only be watched. But for a capable person like Xia Yu, it is a big opportunity. Although the stock market is more prone to volatility and risks, it is prone to skyrocketing and falling, but the profits are also more lucrative. For people in the financial industry, it is normal to have risks. For higher profits, it is completely worthwhile to take risks. There is no shortage of gamblers in this world! This loose system, similar to that of Europe and the United States, is also a very important part of the reason why Xiangjiang became a financial center. After ¡¡¡¡ was busy, Xia Yu returned home and began to think about tomorrow''s affairs. once again looked at the written "Looking for the Qin" manuscript, Xia Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and murmured: "It''s coming soon, it will come out soon! Tomorrow I must hurry to find a target and buy the newspaper!" That''s right, Xia Yu is planning to run a newspaper! Although it seems that it is faster to make money in the stock market now, it changed from 120,000 funds to 520,000 in one day, but this is not the norm. It is just luck to encounter such an opportunity. It is purely an accident. According to the normal situation, it takes a long time for retail investors to invest in stocks and the capital wants to become 520,000. Even if Xia Yu comes to operate, it will take at least ten and a half months. What''s more, for Xia Yu, making money in the stock market can be done later. He urgently needs to publish the novel according to his plan and make a career of his own to convince his parents to allow him to drop out of school. If Xia Yu only had funds, it would be hard to say the source first. Secondly, even if you make millions in the stock market, you will be panicked if you let your parents know. It is hard to guarantee that you will not want to confiscate him. After all, he is only 16 years old now! That¡¯s why Xia Yu wanted to run a newspaper, publish his novels, and convince them in a way that was more acceptable to parents. UU Reading Now that he wants to run a newspaper, Xia Yu has already thought about it. For Xia Yu, to re-establish a new newspaper is not only time-consuming, but he does not have any contacts yet, and there is no way to run a newspaper in a short period of time. What he lacks now is time! What should I do if I lack time? It doesn''t matter, as long as you have money! Money is not a panacea, but as long as you have money, you can do most of the world''s things, and buying a company is just within the scope that money can do. For Xia Yu, he wants to buy a small newspaper, and the fund of 520,000 Hong Kong dollars is more than enough! Acquisitions and M&A companies are the help of a company¡¯s rapid growth. Don¡¯t you see Cisco, which has become the world¡¯s first company in later generations, its history is a history of mergers and acquisitions. For this reason, Cisco has also gained a reputation-acquisition of engines! Under the leadership of M&A madman Chambers, in just ten years, Cisco has acquired more than 90 companies, and it took only more than ten years from its establishment to the top of the world! This is the charm of mergers and acquisitions! Of course, all of this is inseparable from one thing, that is money! Xia Yu is confident that his ability is no worse than that of M&A madman Chambers. As long as he has enough money, he can also stage scenes of snake-tuning plots and take the company to the top of the world. This is the confidence that the memories of many industry leaders have brought him. It''s a pity that all his assets now add up to only 520,000 Hong Kong dollars. It is still too early to want to buy other people''s companies wildly. So come here first, don''t think about making it to the sky! "But it doesn''t matter, everything starts with the acquisition of the first newspaper!" Xia Yu murmured, her eyes glittering. Chapter 11: Acquired the first update of "Hong Kong Island Daily" Early the next morning, Xia Yu began to collect newspaper information, trying to find the most suitable newspaper for acquisition. One day passed during Xia Yu''s busy schedule. In the morning, he took the time to visit the Kowloon Stock Exchange and found that the stock had been delivered. Then he applied for the funds to be transferred to HSBC''s bank account. Been busy until the evening, Xia Yu continued to analyze and screen, and finally found a newspaper suitable for acquisition. "Hong Kong Island Daily"! is only one word from the second-selling "Sing Tao Daily"! But now the gap between the two is like an abyss. One is a newspaper that sells throughout Southeast Asia, and the other is a tabloid newspaper in Hong Kong. The name of "Hong Kong Island Daily" is closer to Hong Kong than "Sing Tao Daily". This is because "Hong Kong Island Daily" was established in 1936, two years earlier than "Sing Tao Daily" established in 1938, and it is now 1978. The year has 42 years of history, and the qualifications are old enough! "Hong Kong Island Daily" was once brilliant. Under the leadership of its founder, it was determined to forge ahead. In 1946, it was on the throne of Hong Kong''s newspaper industry, and it remained there until 1950. It''s just a pity that the founder of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" suddenly died of a serious illness. Before he had time to train his successor, he had only one son. Prodigal is the exclusive and outstanding skill of the dude! It is conceivable that in just one year, the sales of "Hong Kong Island Daily" have been declining, and it has not even made the top ten. At this time, the second generation of Wanfang reacted, "Hong Kong Island Daily" will continue to lose money in his hands, and the loss must be recovered in time, otherwise the handsome money will be less! How to do? There is a saying that it is not distressed that the cubs sell Yetian, the second generation of the young man directly sold the "Hong Kong Island Daily" and continued to spend time and drink. The people who took over think that the "Hong Kong Island Daily" still has the background and there is still a chance to rise, so they vigorously rectify it. Not to mention, it really made him hold back the downward trend and barely ranked tenth. It was just that his ability was insufficient. After trying his best, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" still hovered in the ninth and tenth place. After struggling for a few years, the man gave up his heart, and handed over the "Hong Kong Island Daily" to the recruiting manager to take care of his other business. Unfortunately, after more than ten years, the main business of the second boss was affected. In order to raise funds, he had to sell the weakening "Hong Kong Island Daily". In this way, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" changed its third boss who did not believe in evil, and it has been maintained until now. However, after so many years, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" has also become a small newspaper, with an average daily sales volume of more than 3,000 copies. The most short period of time was August 1976, when the average daily sales volume reached five. Thousand copies. And Xia Yu also inquired that the current owner of the "Hong Kong Island Daily", that is, the third boss Ding Shengwu, because of the urgent need for money, he gave up on the idea of ??using the newspaper to advance to the upper level. He had long planned to sell the newspaper. , It was only a year later, but still not sold, he was anxious for this. It doesn''t mean that Xia Yu doesn''t like the "Hong Kong Island Daily". In his opinion, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is still very valuable and helpful to his follow-up actions. First of all, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is old enough. It can be said to be a veteran newspaper in the Hong Kong newspaper industry. Although it has declined, it can also be said to be a title. If it is taken out, it can still fool some people. . Secondly, because the "Island Daily" is old enough, although it has fallen, the previous channels have disappeared a lot, but it is undeniable that the "Island Daily" still has some channels, which are still very helpful for distributing goods. Furthermore, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" has an advantage in that the newspaper has its own printing plant and does not need to hand over the newspaper to another printing plant for printing, which can reduce costs and speed up efficiency. And although many machines in the printing plant are out of service, the printing plant has enough land for later expansion. Finally, that is what Xia Yu values ??most, that is people! The employees in "Hong Kong Island Daily" are very valuable! The poor sales of "Hong Kong Island Daily" are partly due to the lack of staff, but in Xia Yu''s view, the main reason lies in the helm of the newspaper. Without a good leader, the development ceiling of a newspaper is destined to not be high. This is the case with the "Hong Kong Island Daily". Xia Yu analyzed the reasons and found that this newspaper could not rise. A large part of the reason was that the helm was not good enough and the relationship with the employees was not great. That being the case, it would be easy. After Xia Yu acquired the "Hong Kong Island Daily", he could run it himself. Before finding the right person, he could be competent for the position of president and editor-in-chief. After all, in his memory, there happened to be future generations. Time Warner¡¯s CEO¡¯s memory, running a small newspaper is nothing at all. If this problem is solved, the value of the employees can be brought into play. Don¡¯t forget that although this newspaper does not have many employees, they are all veterans who have been in the business for many years and can execute Xia Yu¡¯s orders well. He doesn¡¯t need it. They do the work of editor-in-chief and boss, as long as they perform their duties, it is OK for Xia Yu. Coupled with their connections, when the newspaper expands, their value can be brought into play, they can quickly help the newspaper to find people, can keep up with the expansion of the newspaper, and minimize the expansion of the newspaper that causes the foundation of the newspaper to be unstable. risk. So in Xia Yu''s view, the acquisition of "Hong Kong Island Daily" has many benefits! Of course, Xia Yu did not believe that no one had seen the advantages of "Hong Kong Island Daily" for so many years, but why did no one buy it? is nothing more than no one has the confidence to buy the "Hong Kong Island Daily" to guarantee its rise! Since there is no guarantee that the "Hong Kong Island Daily" will rise, the above potential advantages will not be fully utilized. If you think about it, it will be a vain thought. You can only look at it and see a treasure chest and cannot open it. But! Others have no confidence, but Xia Yu is completely confident! He not only has the key to open the treasure chest, but he can also open the treasure chest in a different way, and can fully tap the potential value of the "Hong Kong Island Daily". Moreover, according to Xia Yu¡¯s calculations, including the land and machinery of the printing plant, the overall value of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is now about 300,000. Considering that the boss is eager to sell, there is no need for a premium. , Xia Yu can buy it at a value of 250,000. The value of the same thing is completely different in the eyes of people with different resources. This is the case in the "Hong Kong Island Daily". In the eyes of ordinary people, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" can only be calculated on the basis of assets, which is worth about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. However, in Xia Yu''s view, 1 million Hong Kong dollars is also worth, and Xia Yu only needs to spend hundreds of thousands to buy it. As far as he thinks is worth millions of dollars, it is completely profitable. is the so-called arsenic of the other, my honey! "It''s the Hong Kong Island Daily. It shouldn''t be too late. I will buy it tomorrow when the funds arrive!" Xia Yu clenched his fists and said with determination. PS: I''m really sorry. When I searched for information last night, I found that I had a knowledge loophole. I didn''t figure out the profit problem of short selling, which caused the plot to be unreasonable. Maybe you didn''t think about that problem too much. I modified the previous content. . In order to minimize the negative impact, I changed a point. The protagonist¡¯s money earned in the casino was increased from 62,000 to 120,000, and the time was changed from two days to three days. After that, when the protagonist entered the stock market, the principal was only It is no longer more than 60,000, but 120,000. Five times the leverage has leveraged 600,000 funds, and the final total amount is still 520,000. Brothers who have seen it before pay attention, otherwise there may be some feelings wrong when reading the following chapters. I''m sorry everyone. I made this mistake and affected everyone''s reading experience. I''m really sorry, but Wang Haihan! PS: The new week is here again. I wish you all a good time. The protagonist''s career is about to start. I also hope that the data in this week will be even better, everyone! Chapter 12: The second more successful acquisition Ding Shengwu is the third boss of the "Hong Kong Island Daily". He also has a primary school education and has worked hard early. Later, after making a small amount of money in business, I wanted to climb to a higher level. After being guided by someone, I bought the "Hong Kong Island Daily", hoping to improve my level through the newspaper. Maybe people have the illusion that they are the protagonist. Ding Shengwu was full of confidence at the beginning, dreaming that "Hong Kong Island Daily" could rise in his hands. Then he became famous, achieved his goal, successfully stepped into the upper class of society, expanded his network, and then his business grew bigger and bigger. , And then become a generation tycoon. It''s only a pity that ideals are full, and reality is too skinny! After struggling for several years, he slowly accepted the reality. The "Hong Kong Island Daily" in his hands could not help him achieve his life goals. But because of face-saving reasons, and the "Hong Kong Island Daily" did not make him a lot of money, but at least it can continue to operate, so he let the newspaper continue to exist in his hands. It''s a pity that Hong Kong stocks fluctuated drastically more than a year ago, and many companies closed down. His business was implicated and had problems. He lost a wave and had to sell his assets to fill the hole. Since then, he has released his desire to sell " News from Hong Kong Island Daily. At first, he was fainted in order to raise money. He hoped to slaughter the fat sheep and quoted the price very high. He kept scaring off several people who wanted to buy newspapers. At this time, the reputation is stinking. After ¡¡¡¡, other people forced the debt to tighten, and he had to lower the price, but at this time, others also understood clearly the situation of the "Hong Kong Island Daily". It was completely tasteless, so that no one wanted to sell it. For this, Ding Shengwu felt helpless. Fortunately, I received a call from an employee early this morning. Someone made an appointment and wanted to talk to him about the acquisition of "Hong Kong Island Daily". Ding Shengwu happily agreed. No, he was sitting in the office waiting anxiously, drinking three or four cups of tea, his eyes always gazed out of the door, it was eager to see. On the other side, after Xia Yu made an appointment, he went to the HSBC Bank first and found that all the money had been in the bank account, so he relaxed and set off for the location of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" newspaper. "Hello, this is Xia Yu, I just made an appointment with your boss." Walking into an old store, Xia Yu found the front desk and said. At the front desk is a girl in her twenties, named Li Qian, who looks ordinary. At this time, she heard Xia Yu''s words, her eyes widened and she was a little surprised. Li Qian received an appointment call before. The person''s name was Xia Yu. She hadn''t noticed it before. Now she woke up when she saw Xia Yu. The voice on the phone before seemed very young. Although it is unbelievable, Li Qian has no right to doubt, so she should leave it to the boss to deal with it, not to mention that the boss is already waiting. "Hello, sir, our boss is already waiting for you in the office, please come with me!" Li Qian said with a smile, and then led the way. Xia Yu said thank you and followed. "Boss, Mr. Xia Yu is here." Walking to the door of the office, he found that the door was open. Li Qian knocked on the door and walked in and said respectfully. At the same time, he leaned over to reveal Xia Yu behind. Ding Shengwu spotted Xia Yu when he saw the employees come in, but he was a little stunned when he saw that he was a teenager. After hearing what the employees said, he blinked in disbelief, and there was a fire in his heart. The person who kept him waiting for so long turned out to be a child, and he came to buy his "Hong Kong Island Daily". Isn''t this playing him? He still has a lot of important things left to deal with, where can he have time to play with a child? ! Thinking of this, Ding Shengwu felt angry. But I am a person in his fifties. After working hard in the business world for so many years, he still has the most basic politeness and city government. He suppressed the anger in his heart, smiled, stood up and made a request to Xia Yu, and said, "Xia Sheng, please sit down!" "Li Qian, make Xia Sheng a cup of tea!" "Thank you!" Xia Yu asked hello and sat down with a smile. This unaged calm attitude made Ding Shengwu a little surprised. He suddenly thought: "Is he really here to buy a newspaper? Or is he a rich man?" Ding Shengwu looked at Xia Yu without a trace, and found that the boy in front of him was well-dressed, and more importantly, he was full of energy and exuded a confident breath, which invisibly made his heart relax a little. After Li Qian left the office after making tea, Xia Yu took a sip of tea, admired the good tea, and then chatted with Ding Shengwu. Xia Yu did not directly propose to buy the "Hong Kong Island Daily" to avoid showing an impatient gesture to make Ding Shengwu raise prices, but the content of his chats is always related to the newspaper, and the scale is very good, which makes Ding Shengwu unable to get angry. This unhurried attitude made Ding Shengwu a little unpredictable about Xia Yu''s thoughts, but he still had a vision of seeing people and things, and he had determined that Xia Yu did have the idea of ??buying newspapers, but how much he wanted to buy? I can''t see it yet. "Definitely a master negotiator!" Ding Shengwu''s heart trembled. Xia Yu felt that he was no worse than those in his 40s or 50s. This made him more affirmative of his guess that the young man in front of him is definitely a wealthy boy. After an elite education, ordinary families can never teach such a demon boy. I have to say, Ding Shengwu thinks too much, if he knows that Xia Yu is a fisherman, I don¡¯t know if he will be dumbfounded. Of course, it does not mean that Ding Shengwu has no eyesight to look at him. According to Xia Yu''s current state, most people will suspect that he is a wealthy son. After all, the inner-out temperament cannot be cultivated by grassroots families. But who can know that Xia Yu, a 16-year-old boy, actually contains a lot of adult elite memories in his body! After talking for a while, Ding Shengwu couldn¡¯t hold it anymore. He had other things to deal with, but he needed money urgently. The "Hong Kong Island Daily" had not been sold for more than a year. Everyone knew what was going on. Yu''s attitude is nothing more than trying to keep the price down. He has accepted it, and he will sell as long as it does not exceed the bottom line. After all, he was prepared to be squeezed. Who made him want to sell it? He was inherently weak in negotiation. "Xia Sheng, "Island Daily" I really want to sell, I don''t know what price you can pay?" Ding Shengwu put down the teacup and said seriously, looking straight at Xia Yu. Xia Yu took a sip of tea calmly and said with a smile: "Ding Sheng, I have never been in this industry after all, and I don¡¯t know much about these things. I just consulted a few friends in the press, and they recommended me " "Hong Kong Island Daily", please make a price. If it is suitable, we will talk about it. If it is not suitable, then forget it. Business is not righteous." Ding Shengwu''s eyes condensed, and he sighed secretly. Xia Yu was like a fox, UU reading www.uukanshu. He can''t take advantage of com, completely grasping his mentality and not letting go. Forget it, it''s rare that someone wants to buy it, and it''s better to sell it out earlier. The longer it is, the greater the loss it will cause him. "In this case, I will quote a price. The entire newspaper will be packaged at a minimum of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Ding Shengwu directly quoted the price. He originally planned to quote 350,000, but after confronting Xia Yu, his confidence was vented a lot. , Directly quoted this price. Hearing the price of 300,000, Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, and his thoughts changed sharply. He understood that his attitude had worked, so that Ding Shengwu did not dare to quote the high price, and Ding Shengwu was anxious to let go. "If this is the case, then I should cut some more prices!" Xia Yu thought in his heart. "Ding Sheng, your price is too high, it''s not worth the price, not to mention that your place is old, and the sales of newspapers are declining every day, and the prospects are unknown. I took a big risk to buy it. From my point of view, it is worth 180,000 at most." Xia Yu said directly and cut the price by 120,000. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Ding Shengwu clenched his fists, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and barely smiled. "Xia Sheng..." ¡­¡­ After a heated conversation, the price was cut to 230,000 by Xia Yu. After that, Ding Shengwu couldn''t let go, and Xia Yu gave up. "Happy cooperation!" Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Ding Shengwu, who was barely smiling. After ¡¡¡¡, Ding Shengwu asked someone to print the contract and let it go in. Xia Yu signed the contract after confirming that it was correct, and then set off for HSBC with Ding Shengwu. After the transfer was confirmed, Ding Shengwu handed over the contract to Xia Yu, and then accompanied Xia Yu back to the newspaper office again. He needed to call the staff to announce the news and complete the handover with Xia Yu. Chapter 13: Take over When Xia Yu and Ding Shengwu were about to arrive at the newspaper, employees had already gone in to inform others, and everyone was unwilling to work, waiting for the results nervously. After entering the newspaper office, Ding Shengwu also felt the atmosphere, summoned all the employees, and then briefly said a few words, thanking the employees for their efforts and so on. then announced that the newspaper had been wholly sold to Xia Yu. As soon as the result came out, although the employees had been mentally prepared for a long time, they were in an uproar after seeing Xia Yu''s young appearance. They did not report any hope for the future of the newspaper, and they were worried about their future. Seeing the reactions of the employees, Xia Yu knew that this kind of signs should not be allowed to spread. If an employee quits, the loss would be great. Although this is unlikely, after all, in this age, finding a job in Xiangjiang is not Easy, but he will not try. "Ahem! Be quiet, everyone!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked solemnly at the employees who were still whispering, and didn''t smile until they were completely quiet. "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Xia Yu, Xia in the summer, Yu Da Yu who controls the waters, from now on, I will be your boss." "I know that everyone will be disappointed when they see me, and worry that I don''t know how to do it. I bought the "Hong Kong Island Daily" to play, and you lost your jobs." Xia Yu pointed out their worries from the beginning. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, although all the employees did not speak, the expressions on their faces fully showed their concerns. "I understand everyone!" "But!" "My money did not come from a strong wind. Since I bought the "Hong Kong Island Daily", I must develop it. I don''t lack the heart to work hard, how about you?" "The past development tells me that the previous model does not work. The "Hong Kong Island Daily" must be rectified and revised. Since the newspaper needs to change, then I think it should start with the employees!" "Wow..." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, there was a tumult below, and many people looked a little panic, worried that Xia Yu would lay off employees, so they could not make money to support their family. And it is not easy to find a job at Xiangjiang now. Looking at the reactions of the employees, Xia Yu didn''t say much, but looked at them quietly. All this was within his plan. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. By the same reason, the greater the disappointment, the more people will grasp the hope again and be more grateful. After a while, seeing Xia Yu not speaking, the scene fell silent again. "Very good! The quality of everyone is very good!" Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and smiled. "I want to tell you a good news, starting today, everyone''s salary will increase by 20%!" "Wow! Isn''t it?" ¡­¡­ Hearing that the new boss said that not only did not lay off employees, but also increased the salary, everyone was a little unbelievable. After seeing Xia Yu smiling and nodding to confirm, they couldn''t help it anymore, and shouted excitedly, looking at Xia Yu with full eyes. It was fiery and grateful. "This is the effect, the greater the contrast, the better the effect!" Xia Yu thought to himself. After waiting for the employees to be happy for a while, they looked at Xia Yu again, and all of their eyes were brighter, and they could feel the determination of the new boss. If you don¡¯t want to make progress, there is no need to raise their salary. "Since the radish has been thrown out, of course you have to add a big stick. The methods passed down by the ancestors to win people¡¯s hearts are still very effective. The new official has three fires. The first fire must be burned to facilitate the next. The work of the radish and the stick, the first one to burn!" Xia Yu thought. Then, Xia Yu smiled, his eyes became sharp, glanced at the employees, and said slowly. "Of course, that sentence, my money is not the wind blowing, why should I give you a high salary?" "So don¡¯t sit back and relax. In my opinion, if you want to carry your job well, you must have enough value. If you make me think that you are not eligible for this salary, then I¡¯m embarrassed. Where can I go? I¡¯m not here. Raise people who are waiting to die! There are definitely many people who want this job!" After hearing Xia Yu''s words, everyone was stunned and realized that the money was not easy to get. But no one is willing to give up. Now that he knows that he can raise his salary, it would be a pity if he loses his job. Therefore, all of them make up their minds and work hard in the future, and don''t be caught by the new boss. Seeing the reaction of the employees, Xia Yu nodded, knowing that they had heard his words in his heart, and the prestige had been erected. "Of course, you don''t have to worry about my layoffs, as long as you do your job well and do your job well, I will be satisfied!" "Moreover, I am always generous and never stingy with meritorious people. In the future, you will find that as long as you make enough contributions to the newspaper, you will not only pay the salary, but also have additional bonuses, and the bonuses will never be less! " "Does everyone understand?" Xia Yu shouted. "I understand!" The employees shouted in unison. "Hmm!" Xia Yu nodded and continued: "Well, everyone returns to their posts, and the heads of various departments come to my office." After Xia Yu returned to the office, seven employees came in one after another. After the last one came in, Xia Yu told them to close the door. "Let¡¯s introduce yourself, so I can get to know you, let¡¯s start from the left." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu looked at an ordinary-looking middle-aged man on the left. "Boss, my name is Liu Zhong..." "Boss, my name is..." ¡­¡­ After seven people took turns to introduce, Xia Yu nodded, remembering all of them. These seven people are Liu Zhong, who is also a financial and a cashier. They are 40 years old this year. They are an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who looks rather taciturn. Information Minister Sun Xin, 38 years old, has worked in the "Hong Kong Island Daily" for fifteen years. The Information Department is responsible for collecting and soliciting articles. Sun Xin is the editor-in-chief of the Information Department. He has staff such as journalists and photographers. Director of the Editorial Department Zhao Cheng, 42 years old, has also worked for more than ten years and has rich experience. The department is responsible for text editing, news commentary, art editing, photo editing, proofreading, typesetting, etc. UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM Director of Distribution Department Sun Changfa, 34 years old, is in charge of newspaper distribution. Because of the low sales of newspapers, the distribution department has only three employees. Li Bin, the head of the Communications Department, 36 years old, is responsible for communicating and implementing the newspaper¡¯s publicity and reporting plan, as well as for the construction of external reporters and communication teams. Huang Wenshan, director of the advertising department, 37 years old, is responsible for receiving advertising business and producing advertisements. Because of the low sales of newspapers, he is the only person in the advertising department. Zhang Lei, director of the Printing Department, 42 years old, has been engaged in printing for nearly 20 years and has rich experience. He is the head of the printing center of the newspaper. is worthy of being an old newspaper. Although it has fallen, all departments are very complete, and the skeleton of the newspaper is still there. And these seven people have been working in the newspaper for at least ten years, and the experience and connections are not a problem. Xia Yu is very satisfied. He is completely free to reform the newspaper. Then, it''s time for Xia Yu to announce his plan... PS: I finally changed my signing status. I thought it would be around Wednesday, and there was a cover, too! You can rest assured that this book will be written carefully, and will not be eunuchs. After all, according to the current data, if I dare to be eunuchs, I will not let myself go. ps: After the change of signing, it should be on the list of new books of contracted authors. I took a look and found that everyone on the list is big guys. My little cute new is trembling and I want to climb up. The lack of click-recommended collection data is too much. Difficult. Please do me a favor here. I think the book is okay. If you have time, I can recommend it. Friends who like to find books from the book list can recommend it to the book owner. Of course, if you happen to be the book owner, if you can , Please recommend it so that more people can see it! The growth of this book is inseparable from the common care of everyone, thanks! Grateful! Chapter 14: reform "Very good, I am very happy to meet everyone who is doing it. Now I have bought the "Hong Kong Island Daily", then I will talk about my thoughts." Xia Yu said with a serious face, his eyes swept over the seven, seeing The seven involuntarily stood up, and Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. Cleared his throat, Xia Yu said again: "Before I bought the newspaper, I already had some understanding of the newspaper. I found that the newspaper had a big problem, otherwise it would not have fallen into a small newspaper like it is now." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, everyone in the room was silent. Although this was harsh, it was an indisputable fact that they could not refute. "The time has come for reform to be necessary. Without reform, there is only a dead end. After reform, there is still a way out. If you want to keep your jobs, you can only let the newspapers flourish again!" Hearing the words of the new boss, the seven persons in charge were shocked. They are also clearly aware of this problem. It is just that the previous bosses can¡¯t operate, and they don¡¯t know how to operate. They watched the newspaper more and more decline. Anxious but no way. Now it''s up to the new boss Xia Yu if he can do anything. Liu Zhong and the seven people all looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, expecting a wave of hope in their hearts. They are both in their 30s and 40s. They happen to be the backbone of a family. They can''t lose their jobs. The whole family is counting on them! "Very well, it seems that you all know it in your heart." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. "My goal is to develop the newspaper into a worldwide newspaper. Then the name "Hong Kong Island Daily", which is too regional, is not suitable. From now on, the newspaper will be redesigned and typeset, and the name will be "Jiuding Daily". ." Speaking of the last name, Xia Yu''s expression was a little serious. This was the name he had thought about a long time ago. Jiuding is a symbol of supremacy. He hopes that one day his company and his career can reach the peak! In the same way, Xia Yu also hopes that "Jiuding Daily" can become a pivotal newspaper, just like the Jiuding that represents mountains and rivers, leaving a deep imprint on the readers'' minds. This is his impression of this newspaper. High hopes. Regarding Xia Yu''s immediate positioning as the goal of a worldwide newspaper, the seven people present were dumbfounded, and a thought flashed through their minds, is the boss too whimsical! But since the boss said that, even if it seemed outrageous to them, they could only agree. After all, there is nothing wrong with setting a big goal. It is the owner''s right to change the name of the newspaper. They just think that the name of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" that has been used for so long will disappear from now on, and they feel a little disappointed. "Don''t you think that I am a whimsical, I have a rough plan, and you will understand in the future, now you only need to seriously implement my plan." "Now let''s set a small goal to make the sales of "Jiuding Daily" the first in Hong Kong." "Now I arrange specific tasks, so please remember." "Liu Zhong, you go to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce tomorrow to re-register our newspaper and change it to Jiuding Newspaper Company. The newspaper has also changed its name to "Jiuding Daily". After that, you will audit the previous accounts and hand it to me. Make a plan and your finance department will recruit 3 more people." "Good boss!" Liu Zhongmian said dumbly. He didn''t ask why he needed to recruit three more people for a job he could do alone. His personality was like this, he wouldn''t ask why, as long as he implemented it seriously. "Sun Xin, your press department has quadrupled. It is necessary to have real talents to recruit people to activate your contacts, do you understand?" Xia Yu looked at the press minister Sun Xin and said. Sun Xin immediately straightened up to take the order, with a smile on his face. After all, the more subordinates, the greater his power, and he does not need to do many small things himself. As for the question of enough money, he believes that since the boss says to recruit people, then he has money, and he will not ask the boss about this. He can see it. The boss only needs him to work hard, no need to ask anything else. Ask, he can''t make the boss upset. Then, Xia Yu took out a drawing from his bag, handed it to the head of the editorial department, Zhao Cheng, and said, "This is the newspaper style I redesigned. You edit the content according to this framework. You can take a look first and ask me specifically All are marked, ask me if you don¡¯t understand." Zhao Cheng quickly took the drawing and opened it and scanned it carefully. The more he looked at his eyes, the wider his eyes opened. From time to time, he raised his head and looked at Xia Yu, who was with the old god. Based on his experience for so many years, the layout and frame designed by the boss Xia Yu gave him a bright feeling. The comparison between the popular board format and the drawing in his hand made him feel very old. He felt that, look at this. This kind of board style will be more relaxed, there is a pleasing feeling, very amazing. "Boss, your design is so good. In my opinion, the revised version of "Jiuding Daily" will be very popular." Zhao Cheng said happily, and secretly flattered him. But this flatter is willing to do so. He already believes that the boss has real materials and is not here for fun. At this time, there was a sudden impulse in his heart, "Hong Kong Island Daily", no, "Jiuding Daily" can still be revitalized, but he still dare not think about becoming the number one in Hong Kong. Seeing Zhao Cheng''s somewhat convincing look, Xia Yu smiled and did not speak, and gladly accepted his flattery. A joke, this is a panel design in the memory of Time Warner CEO. It is a panel design that has been popular in the next ten years. This has been tested by the market. How could it not be amazing if it was taken out more than ten years in advance! As for the other six people, seeing Zhao Cheng''s performance, they all felt a little itchy, and couldn''t help but sneak closer to look at the drawing. After all, they have been working for at least ten years, and suddenly they found some amazing things, and each of them looked at Xia Yu''s eyes slightly. "Boss, is our "Jiuding Daily" focusing on finance and novels?" Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still asked. After all, he saw that finance and novels occupy a lot of space in the design section, and the high-end content of finance It¡¯s not easy to write, and it¡¯s hard to get an expert. The same is true for novels. Although Hong Kong Island has no shortage of novels, there are only a few real martial arts novels, and they are all collected by big newspapers. Don''t worry him. "Yes, our "Jiuding Daily" takes finance and novels as the core, and comprehensively covers elite intellectuals and the general public. I will solve the content and ensure that it will not be worse than the current financial experts and martial arts." Xia Yu confidently Smiled. After speaking, he took out a book and a stack of manuscripts from his bag and handed them to Zhao Cheng, motioned him to look at it, and at the same time looked at the other confessions, and found that they were also about to move a little curious, so he smiled. They watch together. Then, a group of people gathered around and watched, only Xia Yu looked at them with a smile on Erlang''s legs. "Blue Water Business... Jiusheng Business... Isn''t this what happened in the stock market a few days ago? The writing is too incisive..." "Wait, there is time here... my goodness... isn''t this time before Lanshui Commercial shares plummeted? It has perfectly analyzed all the trends. It''s amazing. The person who wrote this note is definitely a stock god!" Hearing Zhao Cheng¡¯s exclamation, everyone in UU reading was shocked. They quickly read it carefully, and the more they looked at it, the more shocked they were. Everyone looked flushed, breathing quickly, and outsiders who didn¡¯t know the truth looked very surprised. Maybe a group of people gathered together to peek at the essays! "Boss, who wrote this, the writing is too incisive, and it perfectly predicted all the directions. If I had obtained this notebook before, I would definitely make a fortune!" Zhao Cheng looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. The other confessions also nodded again and again, looking at Xia Yu fiercely. There are almost no people in Hong Kong who can''t trade stocks. Considering what happened in the Kowloon Stock Exchange in the past few days, look at this notebook. In their opinion, the person who wrote this notebook is definitely at the level of a stock god, and they can''t wait to embrace this person. Thigh, it''s a pity that I didn''t meet each other, and the only clue is the boss who provided this notebook. Therefore, all seven of them looked at their boss Xia Yu expectantly. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Look at the cover of the notebook, isn''t there a name there?" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Zhao Cheng quickly closed the book. Seeing the two words on it, he didn''t react at first, then suddenly raised his head to look at Xia Yu and cried out, "The boss is you?" ps: Since I changed the list today, the collection has hardly moved, but I am helpless ¨r(¨s£ß¨t)¨q, I would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix. Sure enough, exposure is still needed. From the third on the previous list to this list It is estimated that no one will scroll down. After all, the time to publish the book is too short. I have suffered from the lack of chapters and words. I have never been recommended. The collection base is too small, which leads to the click recommendation. After thinking about it, it turned out to be too tender, too much thinking, I am not the protagonist, haha, a little embarrassing. It''s better to go step by step, come down to earth, ignore this list, update it honestly, and let''s talk about it in the future! (???_??)? Chapter 15: Subdued Seeing Xia Yu nodded with a smile, everyone was unbelievable. After all, this notebook was not written by a sixteen-year-old boy at all, but looking at the notes in his hand, rationally tell them that what Xia Yu said is true. . Thinking of this, all of them are itchy. The youngest Minister of Distribution, Sun Changfa, couldn''t help but whispered: "Boss, didn''t you make a lot of money?" Hearing what Sun Changfa said, everyone looked at Xia Yu, with their ears erect, for fear of missing a word. "It''s a good opportunity to convince them!" Xia Yu suddenly realized that it was a good time to convince them. Thinking of this, Xia Yu originally didn''t intend to expose the news, but in order to convince them as soon as possible and let them work more diligently, he considered it for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I made some." "How much?" Sun Changfa asked eagerly, ignoring whether his recklessness would upset the boss Xia Yu. "It''s not much, so I invested 120,000 Hong Kong dollars. I barely made 400,000 yuan in one day." Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression. I made 400,000 with 120,000 in one day! ! ! so horrible! Hearing this number, everyone breathed, and then their breathing became rapid, and the gaze looking at Xia Yu was full of heat. The boss is a stock god, how can we hug the boss¡¯s thigh and let the boss take his fortune? Waiting online, very anxious! At this time, a group of people have similar thoughts. Xia Yu didn¡¯t need to guess what they thought. He smiled lightly and said: ¡°It¡¯s not that there will be no chance to make you some money in the future, but your task now is to develop "Jiuding Newspaper" well. , One day I¡¯m satisfied, I will go to the stock market again, and by the way, I can still bring a few people." "Boss rest assured, we must work hard and fully." "Yes, the boss can rest assured." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, everyone nodded again and again, like a chicken pecking rice, for fear that Xia Yu would regret it. "Sure enough, the interest is still moving. Even if there is no direct interest, as long as the pie is big enough, it can still fool people. It''s no wonder that so many companies in the Internet industry rely on PPT to pull investment in the past. pie is also a technical job! "Xia Yu was filled with emotion. "Okay, you only need to know this news, don''t spread it out, now you look at the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji", which is the content of the novel section." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Zhao Cheng and the others could only reluctantly rest assured of the stock market notebook. They looked at the manuscript, and became more and more engaged. At the end, they were filled with emotion. According to their eyesight, this novel is definitely at the master level, not worse than Jin Yong Gulong''s writing. They admire the boss for a novel of this level, and then they saw the author again. It was the name of the boss, which made them feel very shocked. They did not expect that the boss could write a novel of this level at a young age. So far, they are truly convinced of Xia Yu, the new boss. Of course, for them, especially for Zhao Cheng, with the boss, the two pillars of "Jiuding Daily", the financial business and the novel, are completely established, and they are still very thick. He has a hunch that "Jiuding Daily" will definitely soar into the sky. He is full of confidence in the newspaper now. It is very possible to be No. 1 in Hong Kong. It just depends on the time. "Okay, let''s continue to arrange the task." Xia Yu clapped his hands and asked them to take back their minds, and continued. "Sun Changfa from the Distribution Department, Li Bin from the Communications Department, Huang Wenshan from the Advertising Department, and Sun Lei from the Printing Department. All four of you, all of you give me your strength to recruit people and expand your department. My requirement is only one. We must maintain quality and quantity, and don''t just fill up the numbers. , You recruited me on the scale of "Oriental Daily", do you understand?" Xia Yu said with a serious face. "Understood!" the four of them roared loudly, with some enthusiasm. They have almost forgotten what it feels like to have a big fight. "Sun Lei, you must check the printing presses in your printing department. Can you guarantee that 200,000 newspapers can be printed a day?" Xia Yu looked at Sun Lei with a serious expression. "Don''t worry, boss, although many machines are out of service, I have always maintained them and can guarantee normal operation. The maximum printing capacity of the printing plant can reach 250,000 copies." Sun Lei said, patting his chest, without asking Xia Yu why Now the daily printing volume of newspapers is only a few thousand, but the efficiency of printing 200,000 copies a day must be guaranteed. "Well, please pay attention. If the printing press is too busy, you must report in advance and purchase a new printing press. After this period of time, all the printing presses will be replaced with the latest models to increase printing efficiency. Hurry up to recruit people, beware of not enough staff." Xia Yu exhorted. "understood!" "Well, tomorrow''s "Hong Kong Island Daily" will still be printed as usual, but it is the last issue. Sun Xin, you arrange for someone to write a manuscript, explain clearly that the newspaper has been suspended for two days for rectification, and the name change, and then give the manuscript to Let me see." Xia Yu once again said to Sun Xin, the Minister of Information. "Good boss!" Sun Xin immediately responded. "Zhao Cheng, hurry up. After finishing the layout of the last issue of "Hong Kong Island Daily" tomorrow, start editing the first issue of "Jiuding Daily", and then print out the template for me to review, understand?" Xia Yu was right again Zhao Cheng, the head of the editorial department, said. After Zhao Cheng took the order, he asked them again and found that there was no problem. Under Xia Yu''s order, everyone happily left the office and set off for their respective posts. The other employees outside looked at their ministers with a smile on their faces and looked in high spirits. They all felt at ease. After their ministers arranged tasks for them, everyone understood that the new boss was going to work hard. It was a battle, and everyone worked enthusiastically under the instructions of their respective ministers. After they all went out, Xia Yu leaned on the stool to relax and rubbed his temples. Although there are memories of those big brothers in the past life, the memory is too huge after all, UU reading www.uukanshu. He didn''t adapt to com. In addition, he was an ordinary person in his previous life. He had suddenly changed so much, but he hadn''t changed for a while. "It seems that when you are okay, you have to continue to recall and sort out the memory, not to fully grasp it at once, but you still have to get a rough idea of ??who has the memory. Only when you are familiar can you use it, otherwise it would be a pity to miss the opportunity..." Xia Yu closed his eyes and muttered to himself. After a short rest, Xia Yu started to get busy again. After all, he just started his career and he still couldn''t relax. Now there are a lot of things on hand. Not to mention other things, he needs to write the content of the financial and commercial section of the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" alone. It¡¯s not that the analysis of the Blue Water Business recorded in his notebook is not good, but that the time is out of line. After all, a few days have passed. After two days, the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" will be published. It will be about five days. This time is too long, and it is estimated that it has been thoroughly analyzed. It is no longer suitable to use that case. In the eyes of others, it is suspicion of fried rice. In Xia Yu¡¯s plan, the content of the first issue of "Jiuding Daily", especially the two pillars of the financial and commercial sector and the novel sector, must have an eye-catching effect to attract users in the first place. The gun is red. He doesn''t need to worry about the novel, he has "Xun Qin Ji" in his hand, which is absolutely stable. But in the financial sector, if you want an instant hit or even a sensational effect, you still have to think about it. Xia Yu thought for a while, then called in an employee, asked him to buy a lot of newspapers in, and then read it, and at the same time took out a new notebook to keep on recording and analyzing. After browsing all the newspapers quickly, Xia Yu was still not satisfied, so he arranged work and went to the Kowloon Stock Exchange to observe. Chapter 16: Rise from the ashes Time flies like a white horse, one day flies by. Early the next morning, the last issue of "Hong Kong Island Daily" was printed and delivered as usual. Many users who subscribed to the "Hong Kong Island Daily" immediately saw the bold headline in the center of the first page, which was "42 Years of Wind and Rain, Thank You for Being With You". Seeing this title, many people have a sudden heart, and quickly look at the text. After reading it, many people are full of emotion, sadness, indifference, expectation...and so on. Of course, there are still many people who boasted about the end of the article, claiming that it would definitely shock the entire Xiangjiang "Jiuding Daily", a little bit of interest. In addition to these users, other newspapers in the media have also received news. After all, in order not to lag behind too much with their peers, many newspapers subscribe to the newspapers of other peers in order to catch news hot spots as early as possible. For this reason, this article of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" was also seen by them. They also knew a little about the history of the "Hong Kong Island Daily". After all, even though the "Hong Kong Island Daily" has fallen now, it is still It cannot be deprived of the fact that it is an old newspaper, has made contributions to the Hong Kong press, and has also created brilliant facts. Of course, for "Jiuding Daily", most of the newspapers have a scrutiny attitude. After all, in Hong Kong, there are many new newspapers appearing every year, and many old newspapers are also closed down. They have already taken the blame, that is, "Hong Kong Island". The Daily News has been brilliant before, so they will pay more attention. As for whether the "Hong Kong Island Daily" was reborn from the ashes or fell into the abyss, their attitude is very obvious. Let''s talk about it after reading it! ¡­¡­¡­¡­ On this day, Xia Yu handled the affairs of the company. After understanding the work progress of each subordinate, he continued to go to the stock market to collect and analyze information. He really found a few opportunities, but none of them were eye-catching enough. In Xia Yu¡¯s view, they were not enough. To serve as the headline of the financial sector in the first issue of Jiuding Daily. Xia Yu continued to search patiently. Finally, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up, and he continued to search through some news, and smiled after thinking carefully: "Finally found a hot spot. There is something wrong with the financial report of this Mingheng Industrial. It is really hard for ordinary people to tell. , But the technique is not perfect. It is estimated that within two days, people will be found to be tricky, and it should break out in about three or four days. It happens that the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" will be published the day after tomorrow, one or two days in advance. Detonate, as long as someone sees the content, it will definitely detonate this stock, the effect is absolutely shocking!" "However, I can''t miss this opportunity in vain. The acquisition of newspapers cost me 230,000. In addition to some purchases and expenses in the past two days, it cost me 20,000. Now there are only 270,000 funds left for 520,000. If you have to spend money in the past few days, leave 50,000 in reserve, and invest the other 220,000 in the stock market to take the opportunity to make a fortune." Just do it if he thinks it. Xia Yu came to HSBC''s investment department again. Because he was very confident, he decided to allocate another 5 times to enter the stock market. It was not that he did not dare to use ten times leverage, but it was unnecessary. If the leverage is ten times, the 220,000 Hong Kong dollar allocation will become 2.2 million. Too much capital is not easy to operate. At the same time, the target is too large, which can easily cause uncontrollable factors. And it''s not Xia Yu himself who trades it himself, if there is danger, there is no time to avoid it, so it is better to fight steadily. One more thing. If you want to allocate funds ten times, Xia Yu knows that it is not so easy to apply. He also needs the approval of HSBC''s senior management. There is no need to toss and waste time. Of course, if you let outsiders know about Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts, you will probably vomit blood. 5 times leverage is also called steady and steady? How can those who dare not use leverage live? Because there was a partnership, and the income from the previous time, the people in the HSBC Securities Investment Department remembered Xia Yu. Therefore, when Xia Yu came this time, he was quickly received by the person in charge. The negotiation process went smoothly. It took a long time for the 220,000 yuan to turn into 1.1 million, and he began to enter the market according to Xia Yu''s plan. Soon after returning to the newspaper, Liu Zhong first came to report that the company has been registered and the newspaper has been renamed. At the same time, the finance department has recruited an accountant with ten years of experience. The efficiency is very high, which makes Xia Yu very satisfied. Then, the heads of several other departments also came in one after another to report their work, and the results were very good. Xia Yu encouraged them one by one. Finally, Zhao Cheng excitedly took the printed newspaper frame and walked in for Xia Yu to review. After confirming that it was correct, Xia Yu took out the stock market notes written today, focused on a large section of analysis and then threw it to Zhao Cheng. Said: "This is the content of the first phase of the financial and commercial section. Do you remember to keep it confidential, understand?" A large part of the circle was about the analysis of Mingheng Industrial. After Xia Yu returned from the exchange, he analyzed its financial report and wrote an article that is well-founded and very convincing. He can definitely get a shot. Stabbed Mingheng Industrial. After receiving the notebook and hearing Xia Yu''s words, Zhao Cheng''s eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile to ensure that it would not leak out. The notebook was held in his arms, like a baby, for fear of being snatched away. Yu couldn''t help but want to laugh when he saw it. He was in his forties, and he was ashamed of him! Xia Yu couldn''t stand it anymore. However, this also proves that Xiangjiang people are really keen on stocks. After ¡¡¡¡, Zhao Cheng was blasted out by Xia Yu with a smile. After a while, no one came to bother me again. Xia Yu thought for a while, then continued to take out his notebook and began to write "Xun Qin Ji". According to the layout plan of the novel section of "Jiu Ding Daily", because apart from "Xun Qin Ji", no other high-quality novels have been received. The serialized novel Xia Yu also read it and was very dissatisfied. A proper junk article. He is totally ineligible to appear in the "Jiuding Daily". UU reading www.uukanshu. com However, the weight of the novel section cannot be deleted. As a result, without other good novel submissions, I can only serialize all "Xun Qin Ji", but according to the size of the page, it can contain enough content of 20,000 words. , Xia Yu¡¯s 480,000-word manuscript is only enough for 24 days to serialize. For this reason, Xia Yu can only continue to write "Xun Qin Ji" when he has time, and strive to finish the book as soon as possible, and save enough manuscripts for emergencies. On the other hand, Xia Yu also issued an order to ask his staff to do their best to collect the manuscript, so as to relieve Xia Yu''s pressure as soon as possible. Of course, the serialization of 20,000 words in a day "Xun Qin Ji" is not without benefit. According to the quality of "Looking for the Qin", 20,000 words are definitely enough for readers to enter the state. "Jiuding Daily" is definitely more attractive to readers, which can increase the bargaining chip of "Jiuding Daily". When people get busy, time always passes quickly, unknowingly one day has passed. In the evening, Xia Yu walked home, because he wasted a lot of time on the bus and walking, which made him a little unhappy. "Quickly, after this period of time, when my career starts and the novel is popular, I will have a bargaining chip to discuss with my parents about dropping out. When the time comes, the sky will be wide and the sky will be high enough to let the birds fly!" Xia Yu secretly thought. Now, encourage yourself. As long as there is a reasonable reason to persuade his parents, he can then use the money to buy a house and move for his family, improve his living conditions, and then buy a car to facilitate his work. All these have to be taken step by step, and there is no rush. After returning home to eat dinner and teaching his younger brothers and sisters, Xia Yu started writing again, and did not go to rest until late. Ps: Set a bowl and ask for a recommendation ticket. If you like the book, you can also recommend it to your friends, thank you! Chapter 17: deploy Early the next morning, Xia Yu rushed to the newspaper office. When passing by the newsstand, he bought a stack of newspapers and read it as he walked. Xia Yu mainly reads the financial and commercial sections and current affairs sections of various newspapers. As for other news on entertainment, gossip and people¡¯s livelihood, he skips directly. Now he has no time to pay attention to these miscellaneous things. Looking at it, Xia Yu suddenly condensed his eyes and stopped to scan. "Hong Kong Island Daily was bought by a boy as a toy? ¡· "Yesterday morning, the 42-year-old "Hong Kong Island Daily" suddenly announced the complete suspension of publication. The new newspaper is called "Jiuding Daily", which attracted the attention of the industry. This newspaper made a special investigation and found a shocking fact. The Island Daily''s turned out to be a 16-year-old boy. Regardless of where the funds came from, the editor was pessimistic about the Island Daily newspaper at this age... The newspaper is half-dead, it can be foreseen. Soon after it went bankrupt..." After reading this report, Xia Yu showed a sneer: ¡°I¡¯m being despised? It seems that I was really born with the "Oriental Daily" and has the energy to notice that the "little role" of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is coming. Hey, since I stretch my face out, will I not give them face if I don''t slap them?" "Heh! Just wait and see! See if it will go bankrupt!" Xia Yu gave a cold snort and stopped paying attention to this content and continued to walk towards the company. Soon after, Xia Yu arrived at the company. After a busy period of time, all the employees had arrived. Xia Yu called in Liu Zhong''s seven people and listened to them to report on the progress of yesterday''s work. After the seven people finished speaking, Xia Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little bad. One day yesterday, the newspaper was operating normally, and internal reforms were proceeding in an orderly manner, without disappointing Xia Yu. But Liu Zhong''s task of recruiting seven people was the only one that hit a wall. Seven people only recruited a few new employees, and most of the colleagues they contacted expressed that they would consider it. Although this situation is expected by Xia Yu, outsiders do not know the specific situation of the newspaper after all, and they still look at it from the old perspective. It is inevitable that they will weigh the pros and cons and do not want to work at Jiuding Newspaper Company, which seems to have no development, but when the matter is true After the incident, Xia Yu still felt a little unhappy. "Forget it, I also know your difficulties. I will continue to recruit people these few days. Let me spread the news of the recruitment first. After a few days, the situation will get better!" Looking at the a little worried seven people, Xia Yu Showing a smile to comfort them, after all, can''t dampen their enthusiasm, and they can''t be blamed for this uncontrollable factor. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Liu Zhongqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they were a little puzzled about what the boss said that it would get better in a few days. If they couldn''t figure it out, they could only guess whether the boss had any solution. "Now I begin to deploy the work for today and tomorrow. Please remember carefully, whether the "Jiuding Daily" can become popular depends on your implementation." Xia Yu said solemnly. "Zhao Cheng, at four o''clock in the afternoon, you have to get me the sample of the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" and hand it to me for review. Sun Xin, your press department will actively cooperate." Hearing Xia Yu''s order, Sun Xin and Zhao Cheng nodded heavily and took the order. "Zhang Lei, because the manpower may be insufficient, your printing department has a very heavy task. I have only one request. Tomorrow, before the newspaper is delivered, one hundred thousand newspapers must be printed out!" Xia Yu stared directly at Zhang Lei, the head of the printing department. . "One hundred thousand copies?" Hearing this number, the seven people who were doing it were all startled, their eyes rolled round and looked at Xia Yu, and a few of them couldn''t help swallowing, wondering if the boss made a mistake, and said one more. zero. This is one hundred thousand copies. Two days ago, the daily printing volume of the newspaper was only 3,000 copies. This is a sudden increase of more than 30 times, which is really scary. They can''t figure out how to sell so many newspapers! "Good boss!" Seeing Xia Yu''s face serious and confirming that the boss was not joking, Zhang Lei opened his mouth and finally swallowed the question back into his stomach, nodding in agreement. "I know you have doubts. If you have any questions, you can ask them now. After you ask them clearly, you will implement them seriously." Xia Yu glanced at the seven and thought about it. "Boss, we have printed 100,000 copies. Will it be too much? Maybe we can''t sell it..." Director of the Publishing Department Sun Changfa said cautiously, biting his head. He saw that the boss Xia Yushi was serious, not at all. joke. But this is one hundred thousand copies! And he is the Minister of the Distribution Department, responsible for the distribution of newspapers. He feels under great pressure now, and he does not know how to distribute these 100,000 newspapers. In his opinion, he desperately will issue a maximum of five. A thousand copies is not bad, 100,000 copies are an impossible task in his opinion. Hearing Sun Changfa¡¯s question, Xia Yu nodded without answering, then looked at other people, and said, ¡°You guys, what questions do you have? To save time, let¡¯s talk about them together, and then I will answer them together.¡± A few people looked at each other, and finally Huang Wenshan, the 37-year-old head of the advertising department, said: "Boss, if you print 100,000 copies according to what you said, will the advertisements that were previously advertised in our newspaper still be posted?" Xia Yu nodded to indicate that he knew, then looked at other people again, and asked again: "Any other questions?" The seven shook their heads, feeling a little frustrated, thinking that Xia Yu was going to lose his temper. Even though Xia Yu is only 16 years old and younger than some of their sons, after two days of observation and getting along, Xia Yu has established a certain prestige in their hearts, so at this moment they are still a little afraid of Xia Yu. Seeing this, Xia Yu smiled and said: "Huang Wenshan, don¡¯t worry about advertising. During this time, our "Jiuding Daily" will not advertise. The agreement signed before is invalidated, and the loss of the compensation to the advertiser must be compensated. Liu Zhong, please cooperate and register." "Okay, boss!" Liu Zhong and Huang Wenshan quickly agreed. "As for the printing quantity, this is not negotiable. It can only be more than 100,000 copies, not less than 100,000 copies!" Xia Yu directly agreed. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Sun Changfa''s heart was so cold, and he felt bitter in his mouth, but he didn''t dare to refute Xia Yu, so he could only say: "Understood, boss. UU Reading " "Haha, don''t make a final conclusion so quickly. I never said that you want to sell these 100,000 newspapers. Of course, I know that it is impossible to sell them, but what if they are given away for free?" The miserable situation and the confidence of others were also hit. Xia Yu saw that the fire was almost over, and it was time to reverse his mind, and suddenly laughed. "give away?!" The seven Sun Changfa people were bewildered when they heard Xia Yu''s words. They were the first time they heard of free newspapers, and they still received 100,000 copies. In their minds, this was completely impossible. In the history of Xiangjiang News, there has never been such a large-scale free delivery of newspapers. There are occasionally a few cases of newspapers that want to rely on free delivery to attract eyeballs and will close in time within a few days. Therefore, in the eyes of the industry, it is impossible to deliver newspapers for free, and it will also provoke collective suppression from peers. After all, it is destroying everyone''s jobs. They don¡¯t understand why the boss has such an idea! After so many reversals in a short period of time, they are completely confused and don''t know what the boss Xia Yu intends. Because of this, the seven of them all looked at Xia Yu in a daze, waiting for his answer. ps: Yesterday, the collection kept fluctuating, and I felt a little uncomfortable, but I don¡¯t know what went wrong. I felt that the pace was a little slower, and then only two chapters were updated, which made everyone uncomfortable, but I thought about it and followed At your own pace, try to make the plot fuller and more delicate, and enhance everyone''s sense of substitution and picture. It will not look like keeping a running account, only to lay a good foundation, first leave a solid impression in everyone¡¯s mind, and the plot accelerates At that time, I won¡¯t feel very empty and substituting. I hope you can give me more patience and tolerance. Thank you! Chapter 18: 100,000 plans "Yes, it''s free delivery!" Xia Yu said categorically. "But the boss, there was a precedent for delivering free newspapers before, but the facts proved that this trick didn''t work, and it would also cause collective suppression by colleagues. This is very dangerous for our newspaper..." Sun Chang asked suspiciously. "The previous paper was unsuccessful because the boss was not me!" Xia Yu smiled confidently and said. Seeing the confident look of the boss Xia Yu, Sun Changfa and the others were stunned, and they looked at each other in a bit of silence. The boss is obviously excited, and he is full of confidence, none of them want to be the first to take advantage of the boss. "Don''t worry about the suppression of peers. I don''t intend to make "Jiuding Daily" free forever, but only for seven days as a marketing strategy." Xia Yu ignored their strange feelings and continued. That''s better! Sun Changfa seven heard this, and they were a little relieved, at least the boss was not dizzy. "Also, do you think it''s easy to send 100,000 newspapers for free?" Xia Yu continued, looking at them. "Does it require brainstorming to deliver newspapers for free? Isn''t it just sending them to others? What''s the difficulty?" The seven people once again flashed a thought, they all looked at Xia Yu with doubts, wanting to hear Xia Yu Talk about the knowledge in this. "Think about it, the entire Xiangjiang population of millions of people can be said to be potential users of our newspapers, but if you can find someone to publish it, you will lose 100,000 copies, hundreds of thousands, millions of copies. That¡¯s enough. How much manpower and financial resources are needed?" "Why do I only let the "Jiuding Daily" be delivered for free for seven days? What is the purpose of our free newspaper delivery? Have you thought about it?" Xia Yu asked Sun Changfa and others suddenly. "Of course it is to let citizens subscribe to our newspapers and become users of our newspapers!" Zhao Cheng blurted out. "That''s right!" Xia Yu glanced at Zhao Cheng appreciatively, and then said. Without waiting for them to continue speaking, he spoke again. "So these 100,000 free newspapers must play their due value, and make the citizens who have read the free newspapers subscribe to our newspapers as much as possible! Try to convert potential customers into our real customers." "So, what is the easiest way to achieve the maximum effect at the minimum cost and increase the customer subscription conversion rate as much as possible?" Xia Yu asked again. Hearing this, the seven of Zhao Cheng understood a bit. The Minister of Information Sun Xin had been more sensitive in collecting news materials for a long time, and he had roughly guessed what the boss Xia Yu thought, and blurted out: "Find the most valuable potential customers. Only then can it be most easily transformed into our real customers." After speaking, Sun Xin looked at Xia Yu expectantly, wondering if he was right. "Very good, right!" Xia Yu gave Sun Xin an admiring smile, and Sun Xin straightened his back involuntarily. "So, Sun Xin, now you think about which talents are the most valuable potential customers, and how do you find them and send the newspaper to them?" Xia Yu asked again, and took a look at the others. , Gave Sun Xin an encouraging look and motioned him to continue answering. "Those white-collar workers and stock investors have the habit of subscribing to newspapers. They also have money, so they can distribute newspapers specifically to those white-collar workers and at the same time go to the stock market to distribute newspapers to those stock investors." Sun Xin said with some excitement. The feeling of being able to act forcefully in front of his colleagues made him a little excited, and he became a little obsessed with it. "Very good. Speaking of one point, "Jiuding Daily" is based on the two sections of financial business and novels, so stockholders and practitioners in the financial industry are the customers that our newspapers most need to absorb. Do you have any ideas?" Xia Yu looked at Sun Xin and continued to ask, but it was a pity that he saw Sun Xin shook his head. He could only look at other people and motion them to express their opinions. Others thought about it, and finally Sun Changfa, the head of the distribution department, said, ¡°People who buy newspapers are the most valuable potential customers. The boss of the newsstand can contact them, so the boss of the newsstand can help us publish it.¡± "Why does the boss of the newsstand help you deliver newspapers for free? Not only is it a waste of energy, but it also affects the sales of other newspapers. How could they do this thankless thing?" Xia Yu asked back. "Uh... this... Boss, I was wrong..." Sun Changfa was a little embarrassed, his forehead was a little sweaty. "No, you are right, but thinking needs to be developed. The starting point is okay, but how to realize this idea perfectly requires certain skills." Seeing Sun Changfa a little anxious to blame himself, Xia Yu smiled. The atmosphere was relieved, and Sun Changfa was relieved. "We can provide newspapers to the owner of the newsstand for free and let them sell it at a fixed price. Compared with other newspapers, our newspaper does not require any cost for him, and the profit is several times that of other newspapers. Do you think the owner of the newsstand? Put our newspaper in the most conspicuous position and recommend it to customers with heart?" Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Sun Changfa suddenly enlightened, admiring the boss Xia Yu, and comparing it with his own thoughts, only then did he feel the gap between himself and the boss. Others also looked at Xia Yu with admiration. According to the boss Xia Yu¡¯s practice, if they were the newsstand boss, they knew it was a routine to help "Jiuding Daily" sell it, but they would also sell it willingly. This is a blatant conspiracy. For the newsstand owner, it is the same for anyone who sells newspapers. As long as they can get more profits, of course they sell newspapers with more profits. Moreover, although the newsstand owners sell the newspapers instead of delivering them for free, they will not forget that the starting point for free newspapers is not to send them out, but to try to make potential customers as real as possible in seven days. Converted out. But now if users can buy "Jiuding Daily" willingly from the start, wouldn''t it be better? "Okay, you should also be clear when it comes to this. Time is running out. Let me talk about the general execution plan." Xia Yu coughed and asked everyone to focus on the plan. "Tomorrow, after the UU Reading newspaper is printed, it will be given priority to the bosses of various newsstands, and make it clear to them that "Jiuding Daily" will provide them for free for seven days, and set a good price to encourage them to sell. The more the newspapers, the better. When the newspapers are sold out, you can call to replenish them at any time. We want to deliver the newspapers to them as soon as possible." "Of course, the strategy of free newspaper delivery remains the same. The four major stock exchanges all arrange at least two people to deliver newspapers. After the stock exchanges are distributed, they should go to major companies and shops and other places with heavy traffic to deliver them. Try not to leave. The nearby newsstands are too close to ensure the enthusiasm of the big newsstand owners." "Tomorrow, Sun Changfa, your distribution department is the main force. The idle employees of other departments actively cooperate. The entire company must act. If there are not enough manpower, find ways to hire temporary workers to help distribute. All departments will go back and do their subordinate work later. And plan the specific implementation plan for tomorrow." "Zhang Lei, you have to supervise the printing work at all times. As long as you receive a printing order, you have to print the specified number of newspapers as soon as possible. The task is heavy, and you should bear more." "Sun Xin, hurry up to sort out today''s news and give it to Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng, you have to print out the first edition of "Jiuding Daily" before four o''clock in the afternoon and submit it to me for review. After confirmation, you will give it to Zhang Lei immediately. " "Does everyone understand?" After finishing the assignment in one breath, he looked at them in the afternoon with a solemn expression. "Understood!" everyone shouted with their chests tall. "Okay, start working now!" Xia Yu waved his hand. Immediately afterwards, everyone walked outside, hurriedly starting to implement their respective tasks. At this point, Xia Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a sip of tea, he continued to get busy. ¡­¡­ Chapter 19: Ma Hui At four o''clock in the afternoon, Zhao Cheng brought the model of the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" on time. After Xia Yu looked at it carefully, he smiled with satisfaction and made Zhao Cheng, who was standing a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief. . "Very good, just follow this printing!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction. "Good boss!" Zhao Cheng immediately nodded and promised. "By the way, from now on, "Jiuding Daily" has officially set sail. This is a memorable moment. You will find someone to mount this model and hang it on the wall of my office. I hope that in ten years, twenty years Later, everyone in the newspaper office was proud to see this first edition of the newspaper!" Xia Yu thought for a while and suddenly said to Zhao Cheng. "This idea is great, the boss can rest assured, I will find the best framed master to frame the newspaper." "Well, go, work hard, I am very optimistic about you!" Xia Yu said to Zhao Cheng with satisfaction. Seeing Zhao Cheng solemnly dragging the newspaper and walking outside with joy, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled. He has already begun to adapt to the way of the bosses in his memory. He has to say, this kind of command , The feeling of watching others respectfully execute orders is really fascinating. "Hey, no wonder everyone wants to be a master!" Shaking his head, looking at the manuscript of "Looking for the Qin" on the desktop, Xia Yu muttered to himself: "The career has just started, and everything has to be done by yourself. If you want to become a big boss under one person and above ten thousand people, Lu Hui You have to keep going, let''s do it step by step honestly!" Then, Xia Yu devoted himself to the great career of writing. After busying for a while, Xia Yu saw that the time was late, so he went to the printing department and saw that the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" was printed continuously. He was very satisfied, and encouraged Zhang Lei with a few words. The printing workers promised to pay bonuses at the end of the month. After seeing their positive work attitude, they went home with confidence. Early the next morning, Xia Yu didn¡¯t care about breakfast. He came to the newspaper first and encouraged the employees who came later. Because they were notified one day in advance, the employees came very early, especially the people in the distribution department. Under the leadership of Minister Sun Changfa, all of them were very motivated. They didn¡¯t know what ecstasy Sun Changfa poured them into, and asked them to follow suit. It''s like chicken blood. Next, Xia Yu took everyone to the printing factory, looked at the neatly stacked newspapers aside, and asked about the ink smell in the air. He took a deep breath and showed a firm look. Xia Yu stood on a stool, looked at a large group of people below, and said loudly: "Today is the first day of the newspaper''s re-emergence, and it is also the day when the "Jiuding Daily" is published. The glory of the newspaper will be created in your hands. In the next period of time, I hope everyone will work hard and make concerted efforts to make the "Jiuding Daily" famous. I hereby promise to everyone that the bonus this month will definitely not be less. The specific amount depends on the sales of the newspaper." "Time is running out, so don''t talk nonsense. Everyone will set off according to the team arranged yesterday and the delineated route!" Xia Yu waved his hand. As soon as the voice fell, everyone methodically led a large stack of newspapers under the leadership of each group leader, and then walked outside the printing house. Then, Xia Yu went back to the newspaper office and took command in the center to respond to possible emergencies. ¡­¡­ Ma Hui is a native of Kowloon. Although he is only 20 years old, he has been working in the original "Hong Kong Island Daily" for three years. Because he hasn''t read any books, he can''t do pen-and-stick work, so he can only enter without using his brain. The publishing department, and because he is young and energetic, he can run longer than other colleagues in a day, so he is very appreciated by Minister Sun Changfa. Because he needed to make money for his younger siblings to go to school, he was full of pessimism when he heard that the "Hong Kong Island Daily" was sold and it was sold to a teenage boss. He thought that the newspaper would go bankrupt soon. Have to find a job again. Who knows that although the new boss is young, he is not at all ambiguous in his work. He is generous and directly increased their wages by 20%. This surprised him very much. He was full of gratitude to the new boss Xia Yu, but he was still worried in his heart. Will not go bankrupt. In the next two days, he saw the changes in the newspaper. Although he didn''t know much, he could feel that the atmosphere of the newspaper had changed dramatically. Everyone became very hardworking, especially the ministers. He also set an example, let him admire the new boss''s ability, I don''t know how the new boss made these "old fritters" directors full of energy. Fortunately, Sun Changfa, the director of their distribution department, had a meeting with them yesterday afternoon and explained the strategy of the new boss clearly. Although he hadn¡¯t read any books, he could feel that the strategy and tactics of the new boss were very good. It was so powerful that he was full of confidence in the newspaper. In addition, the new boss announced in public that there will be a bonus, which surprised him even more. The boss gave him a job that is both promising and rich. He thanked the boss from the bottom of his heart and made up his mind to do the job well and make a contribution to the sales of the newspaper. Soon, he came to a newsstand near his home. The owner of the newsstand was a distant cousin of his. He walked over, took a hundred percent of the newspaper and handed it over, and said, "Cousin, morning Okay, I''m sending you a newspaper." "Hui Tsai, why are you so early today? Hey, it''s not right. Didn''t your "Hong Kong Island Daily" stop publishing? I didn''t subscribe to your new newspaper. What are you giving me?" The newsstand boss helped his glasses. Asked with some doubts. "Uncle Cousin, UU Read . Our new newspaper is called "Jiuding Daily". Don''t worry, these 100 newspapers are provided to you for free. Our boss said that we will provide you with newspapers for seven days for free. , You sell at the normal price, as long as it is sold out, call our newspaper immediately and send it to you immediately. No money is charged. I will give you as much as you can sell. Cousin, this good opportunity to make money Don''t miss it!" Ma Hui said loudly immediately, clarifying all the points at once. "Oh? Is there such a good thing?" The newsstand owner''s eyes lit up. If you really follow Ma Hui¡¯s words, the money he earned from selling a copy of "Jiuding Daily" is several times that of other newspapers. The most important thing is that he will give him as much as he can sell. His newsstand is very well located. Well, the total number of newspapers sold in one day amounts to thousands of copies. If all newspapers are sold as "Jiuding Daily", the money he makes in one day is as much as the usual five days. After seven days, it is not more than the usual one. Isn¡¯t that the month¡¯s money sent? "Uncle cousin, can I lie to you, the newspapers have been delivered to you, can there be fakes?" Ma Hui said with some dissatisfaction. "Oh, time is urgent. I still have much better newspapers to deliver. There is no time to delay. Cousin, remember, as long as you are sold out and call our newspaper, someone will deliver the newspaper to you. I will leave first. "After speaking, Ma Hui pedaled his bicycle to the next newsstand. Looking at Ma Hui''s anger, the newspaper booth owner smiled and shook his head, and said with emotion: "It''s better to be young, so energetic!" "I''d better take a look at the quality of this new "Jiuding Daily", and then decide whether to push it hard." The owner of the newsstand looked at the large stack of newspapers in front of him, took out a copy, and then took the other newspapers. It was placed in the most central position, and then I turned over the "Jiuding Daily". Chapter 20: 0 state "Hey, this layout layout is very novel, completely different from other newspapers, and it looks very comfortable, a bit level..." After browsing the whole thing, the newsstand owner''s eyes are slightly bright, and he is curious about "Jiuding Daily" Up. Then, he habitually turned to the novel section. He is a fan of martial arts novels, but the recent book shortage has made him very uncomfortable. As a result, he will look for new martial arts novels after getting the newspaper every day. ""Looking for the Qin"? The name is interesting, let me see..." the newsstand owner murmured, and then began to read. This look is terrible, the newsstand owner is unknowingly indulged in it, and can''t even take care of business. "Hey, boss, I''m looking for money!" The newsstand owner who was immersed in the plot heard the business ringing in his ears, his face was full of dissatisfaction, he raised his head and looked at the white-collar worker who was talking, took his money directly, quickly found him change, and lost it. , And continue to look at the novel. The indifferent attitude of the newsstand owner not only did not make the white-collar workers angry, but aroused his curiosity. He glanced up and found that the newsstand owner was reading novels. He had some doubts about what novels made countless books read. Newsstand owners are all addicted. Could it be that any martial artist has published a new book again? Thinking of this, he also itched his heart. He glanced at the newspaper in the hands of the newsstand owner. It was an unfamiliar name, "Jiuding Daily"? seems to have never heard of it! Although doubtful, the white-collar workers didn¡¯t care. Anyway, a newspaper didn¡¯t cost much, so he took another copy of "Jiuding Daily", and after losing another newspaper money to the newsstand owner, he quickly turned to the novel interface. , Looked up while walking. ""Looking for the Qin"? Author Xia Yu? I haven''t heard of it. Forget it, let me take a look..." Just as he kept reading, his walking speed was getting slower and slower, and then he stopped at all without noticing it, still immersed in the world of novels. Time passed unknowingly, and the newsstand owner had already read the 20,000-character "Xun Qin Ji" novel, and his face was full of regret. The number of words is so small, which is totally not addictive. It¡¯s just that he was very happy, because he finally found a novel that would make him want to eat and drink. In his opinion, although the author Xia Yu had never heard of it, he just wrote "Xun Qin Ji" The writing and layout of the novel is definitely not inferior to the martial arts novelists such as Jin Yong Gu Long. "It seems that another master of martial arts novels is about to rise. As long as it is not poached, Jiuding Daily seems to be going the same way as Ming Pao in the past. Sales are definitely not a problem. I still take the opportunity to make a profit. Wave it." Thinking of this, the owner of the newsstand quickly adjusted the placement of "Jiuding Daily", placing the newspaper in the most conspicuous position, and trying to sell it to other people who came to buy the newspaper. "Come on, pretty boy, buy a copy of "Jiuding Daily". The novels in this newspaper are particularly beautiful, and the writing is not worse than Jin Yong. If you don''t look good, hit me." "Pretty boy, come to the "Jiuding Daily", don¡¯t pay much, it¡¯s definitely a great regret in life to miss everyone¡¯s work in martial arts novels, don¡¯t let yourself regret it......" ¡­¡­ With the unremitting efforts of the newsstand boss, the 100 copies of "Jiuding Daily" soon bottomed out. He hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed the number on the newspaper. "Yes, yes, I''m the owner of the newsstand in Kowloon..., one hundred copies of "Jiuding Daily" are sold out, please send me the newspaper soon, yes, yes... another hundred copies... no... three hundred copies, fast what¡­¡­" Not to mention that the owner of the newspaper booth was enthusiastically promoting the "Jiuding Daily", just say that the white-collar worker who bought the "Jiuding Daily" before finally finished reading the 20,000-word novel, and his expression was still unfinished. "Sure enough, it looks good, but the number of words is too few, not enough to read... Hey, how come there are so many people on this road... Wait... Oh my god, I''m late!!" The confused white-collar blinked. After a while, he came back to his senses, looked at his watch, his face suddenly changed, and he ran away, completely disregarding his image. Two flowers bloom for the table. On the other side, at the entrance of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, two staff members held the "Jiuding Daily" and kept distributing them. As long as they entered the stock market, they would cram a newspaper, and the newspaper was directly flipped to the financial and commercial section. The first time others read. Xie Dafu is 40 years old this year. He is the manager of the investment department of a medium-sized securities company Hengfa Securities. In the past month, several stocks that he strongly bought have risen, making him stand out in front of the chairman. The chairman praised him a lot, and even got the promise of the chairman. As long as he did a good job, he would be given some shares at the end of the year This promise made him excited all night, even though he did not sleep well. But he still came to the Kowloon Stock Exchange full of energy. took over the "Jiuding Daily" from the staff. Xie Dafu didn''t care at first, but habitually looked at the content of the financial and commercial sector. "Ming Heng Industrial has huge risks. The management has made false accounts and has already suffered serious losses! ¡· Seeing the title, Mingheng Industrial''s four familiar words refreshed his spirits. After reading the title in a straightforward manner, he frowned and his heart jumped. How could Mingheng Industrial be unfamiliar? It is the stock he is most optimistic about. This month, he strongly invested millions of funds in the purchase. In one month, he has already made a profit of nearly one million. Because of the brilliant performance of Mingheng Industrial, he was able to perform in front of the chairman and get the promise of the chairman. He had already thought about it last night. Mingheng Industrial still has room to rise. He originally planned to arrange people to invest again today. I bought it with two million funds, but I didn''t know that I had seen such a hot title before entering the Kowloon Stock Exchange. is a matter of his future, Xie Dafu didn''t dare to sloppy, he looked at it seriously, the more ugly he looked, his lips trembling involuntarily. "Why... I can''t tell that Mingheng Industry has made a loss at all. It is completely reasonable according to the data analysis listed above. Mingheng Industry really has a problem..." Xie Dafu is also a financial student and is very comfortable with data analysis. , I soon discovered that the data listed in the newspaper and the conclusions of the reasoning were completely okay. Mingheng Industry really had a problem, and it was still a fatal loophole of financial fraud. Seeing this, Xie Dafu paled and thought Thinking of his own future and thinking that he had bought stocks with millions of funds, his brain was in a mess. Chapter 21: ignition "Damn it, you must throw it away!" Xie Dafu raised his head and looked at the two staff members who were distributing newspapers, and found that they were still delivering newspapers continuously, and his heart trembled constantly. As long as one more newspaper is published, one more person will know the situation of Mingheng Industrial, and he will be more dangerous. "The shares promised by the chairman have already flown... No, the situation cannot be worse." "The stock market is about to open. I have to hurry up and make a time difference, and quickly throw away the shares of Mingheng Industrial, otherwise they have to be smashed in my hands, let alone any shares, now I should think of a way to keep my job!" Hengfa Securities is just a threshold for entering medium-sized securities. The total capital is only more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. If this is a loss of several million, Xie Dafu can imagine that he is likely to be cold. Thinking of this, Xie Dafu felt that his buttocks were about to catch fire. He rushed towards the Kowloon Stock Exchange and ran to the seat of his department. The subordinate in charge of the trader saw Xie Dafu rushing in and said quickly: "Boss, I''m ready. As soon as the stock market opens, I will start buying Hengfa Industrial." Hearing the words of his subordinates, Xie Dafu¡¯s face muscles trembled, and there was no time to take a deep breath. He quickly gasped and said, ¡°Don¡¯t... don¡¯t buy, hurry up. As soon as the stock market opens, all Hengfa Industrial¡¯s stock will be sold out. Throw away the price you bought before." "But the boss, don''t you want to buy? How..." the subordinate asked in confusion. "No, but I said to throw it!" Xie Dafu said anxiously, interrupting his subordinates directly. "Will the price increase? According to the previous purchase price, the profit of nearly one million is gone..." The subordinate was taken aback. He had never seen the manager so nervous, but thought that if you follow If Dafu operates it, nearly one million profits will be lost, and he will be a little unwilling. After all, these participants also have a rake. He also plans to pool the money to buy a car after he gets the rake. He just boasted about Haikou in front of his new girlfriend the day before yesterday. If the car buying matter is sloppy, he They are worried that the relationship between the two will also follow the yellow. "Don''t understand what people say? I said toss, and toss at the original price. Time is too late. I will explain to you later and arrange to dump!" Seeing the market opening time is getting closer, Xie Dafu is getting closer and closer. Impatient, shouted directly at the subordinates. The subordinates were taken aback and did not dare to ask any more. Although they were unwilling, they still made arrangements honestly. He still knew which one was lighter and which was heavy. If the car was not bought, the feelings might be wrong. If the job is lost, the feelings are determined. yellow. Seeing that his subordinates had already executed the order, Xie Dafu was still anxious, pacing back and forth, praying in his heart that he must be thrown away. In just a few minutes, Xie Dafu felt as long as it had been a year, watching the operations of his subordinates from time to time, and then staring at the hands of the big clock hanging in the exchange. Finally, both the minute and second hands jumped to the position of the number 12. With only a few bells ringing, the stock market opened! In a short time, the exchanges were full of voices and conversations were endless. And Xie Dafu also closely watched Mingheng Industrial¡¯s stock price for the first time, and found that Mingheng Industrial¡¯s stock price was beginning to fluctuate and was developing to a more severe degree. His heart followed closely. I got up, and my breath was blocked unconsciously. The trader''s subordinates executed Xie Dafu''s order and listed all the shares of Mingheng Industrial. According to the price purchased a month ago, the price was about two-thirds of the current Mingheng Industrial price. Seeing that the shares of Mingheng Industrial in his hand had already been listed, Xie Dafu waited nervously. Seeing that no one had bought it for a full minute, his heart beat more violently. at last! was bought for a sum, and then, like dominoes, millions of shares in Mingheng Industry were completely eaten. "Huh..." "It''s okay, it''s okay, it''s finally sold out, and it''s good to be back!" Xie Dafu sighed and wiped his forehead, but found that he did not know when the forehead was full of sweat. On a seat on the other side of the exchange, a trader saw the shares of Mingheng Industrial that he had bought, with a smile on his face: "It is so simple that the task assigned by the boss is completed, and the price is actually lower. It¡¯s about one-tenth, I earned it, and I don¡¯t know which institution sells it. I guess I made a mistake on the price and let me pick a bargain. Hey, when the boss comes, we must ask the boss for credit!" Just when he was complacent, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes grabbed a newspaper and ran over regardless of his image. It was the boss of his department. The trader stood up and just wanted to talk, the middle-aged man in the suit shouted directly: "Big head, don''t buy Mingheng Industrial, yesterday''s plan is completely invalidated." The big head trader''s smile stopped abruptly, and he blurted out: "But boss, I have already bought it, and I bought it at two-thirds of today''s stock price." Hearing the words of the trader''s big head, the middle-aged man in the suit felt his head buzzing and closed his eyes in despair. At this moment, he regretted that he got up a little late today, and his heart was very painful. It¡¯s a little late, and millions of dollars have been lost! The middle-aged appearance in a suit shocked the trader. It seemed that he had made a mistake when he bought the shares of Mingheng Industrial. He looked at his boss a little nervously. The middle-aged man in the suit did not explain much, and directly ordered his subordinates to re-list the Mingheng Industry list. ¡­¡­ On the other side, in the seat of Hengfa Securities. "Boss, why did you want to sell the shares of Mingheng Industrial?" Seeing that the manager Xie Dafu had relaxed, the subordinates of the trader thought that the manager should no longer lose their temper. He hesitated and asked for a while, not asking if he really was. Not reconciled. "Ahe, good job, don''t take my attitude to your heart just now, I am too anxious." Seeing the trader''s subordinates looked a little frightened, Xie Dafu was a little embarrassed, coughed to cover up, and then barely squeezed out The smile patted his shoulder and said. "Actually, I don''t want to throw Mingheng Industrial. After all, I bought it with one hand. According to normal conditions, it can still rise, but the change is too fast. If you don''t throw it quickly, you will fall in your hand." Xie Dafu said with emotion. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the trading board, his gaze condensed, and then showed a grateful expression, murmured: "Fortunately, fortunately, I can''t escape in a minute." Next, Xie Dafu said to Ahe, "Look at the stock price of Mingheng Industrial on the trading board." Trader Ahe looked over, his face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "I lost it, how come!" I saw more and more orders for Mingheng Industrial on the trading board, and the stock price plummeted. The price of UU Reading has fallen by half, and it continues to fall. No one knows where it is. Seeing this, the trader Ah He also reacted. After all, he is a veteran. He also thought that it was probably Mingheng Industrial that broke the negative news that would cause such a plummeting posture. He patted his chest with lingering fear, looked at the boss Xie Dafu with admiration on his face and said: "Boss, you still have the courage, otherwise it will be over in a minute. The chairman will definitely appreciate your decisive and courageous." Trader Ah He really admires the boss, Xie Dafu, and decisively gave up millions of profits. If the listed price drops only a small part and tries to make a little bit more, the shares of Mingheng Industrial in his hand may not be able to make a short time. When someone eats it in, it will really fall in your hand. Hearing what his subordinates said, Xie Dafu squeezed a smile on his face. He was depressed because the shares promised by the chairman flew away, and he was in a better mood, at least he kept the principal. And it is exactly what the following belonged to Ah He said, although he has lost nearly a million in profits, but he can also add fuel and vinegar to tell the chairman of this thrilling operation, how can he leave a good impression on the chairman. Thinking about the bully who had just taken over, Xie Dafu suddenly felt that he was not so uncomfortable, after all, there are even more miserable takers. He at least got his principal back, and what he lost was the unaccounted profit, which was actually equivalent to not making any money this month, and the hapless receiver lost real money. ps: After thinking about it, I found that the update at 8 in the morning is not appropriate. There are many inconveniences. In addition, there is not much traffic in the morning. So adjust it. From tomorrow, the first update will be adjusted to 12 noon, and the second update will still be At six o''clock in the afternoon, this is tentatively scheduled. Any changes will be explained in advance. Please forgive me. Chapter 22: take off "By the way, boss, where did you get the news?" Trader Ahe asked suddenly. Hearing what his subordinate Ahe said, Xie Dafu looked at the "Jiuding Daily" in his hand, only to realize that he was holding the newspaper a little tightly because of tension just now, and some places were wet with sweat. He looked at the big characters of "Jiuding Daily", shook his head with emotion, and sighed. Without saying more, he passed the newspaper directly to his subordinate Ahe. Trader Ahe took it, and just saw the positive article about Mingheng Industrial. After a few minutes of reading it, his complexion changed drastically. The problem of Mingheng Industry written above is too big, and he found that this is not what the author got, but a small amount of data analysis. If you don¡¯t read this article, let alone ordinary people, you are the elites of the financial industry. I didn''t find out so quickly. Another, he found that the level of the people who wrote this article is very high, because the company has subscribed to major newspapers, and they require to read the content of the financial sector every day, so he does not know how much he has read the major newspapers in Hong Kong. He also knows the level of analysis and comment of newspapers in the financial industry. But now in his opinion, Xia Yu, the author of this article, currently seems to be no worse than those gold pen experts. But now that he saw this newspaper, he felt a little familiar. It seemed to be the newspaper sent by two people outside when he entered the stock market. It was just that he looked at the small newspaper whose name was not influential, and he threw it directly in the corner. Go see. Fortunately, the boss found out in time, otherwise... Thinking of this, Ah He was full of excitement, and a surviving mood arose spontaneously. "Boss, this one named Xia Yu is too powerful. It is estimated that he alone can discover the problems of Mingheng Industrial in Xiangjiang." Ahe said with admiration. "Yes, although this person named Xia Yu hasn''t heard of it before, but starting today, he is completely famous!" Xie Dafu nodded, and then said: "Remember, every issue of "Jiuding Daily" must be subscribed. This time I hid it. If we do it again next time, and we don''t see it, we will miss the opportunity. " "Unfortunately, I was so dizzy just now that I didn''t short Mingheng Industrial, but the time is too short, I guess it''s too late... I don''t know if there is any institution short Mingheng Industrial, if there is one, it definitely has to make a profit! "Thinking of such a bad opportunity he didn''t seize it, Xie Dafu felt a little regretful. "Good boss, I remember." Trader Ahe nodded in agreement. ¡­¡­ In this short period of time, the stock price plummet of Mingheng Industrial was seen by everyone in the exchange, and many unidentified people hurriedly asked people around them. Soon, everyone learned that the news came from a newspaper called "Jiuding Daily". Those who wanted to know the specific content immediately borrowed it from people who have newspapers around them. And more people reacted as if two people were distributing newspapers for free when they entered the door, and they didn''t read it and threw them aside. At this time, they quickly found out. Many people who had lost their newspapers immediately looked at the door and found that the two staff members were still distributing newspapers, and they all rushed to grab the newspapers. "Pretty boy, give me a copy!" "I want a copy too!" "Hey, don''t grab it, don''t grab it, the quantity is definitely enough..." ¡­¡­ For a time, the scene became a little chaotic, and everyone rushed for a copy of "Jiuding Daily." Time passed by every minute, Xia Yu kept waiting in the company and was dealing with the company''s affairs. In Jiuding Newspaper Company, several employees from the Communications Department were guarding the phone. Several of the calls never stopped. They just hung up and the next call came in again. There are no exceptions. All calls are for newspaper delivery, and most of them are made by the owner of the newsstand. Although they kept talking and talked dryly, the employees of several communication departments were not tired at all, and each was very excited, because according to their estimates, the number of additional deliveries requested by phone was at least 30,000. Ten times the usual daily sales, when did they encounter this situation? They remember that the boss said that the higher the sales of the newspaper, the higher the bonus they will pay. Moreover, they are all old employees of the newspaper, and they have a certain sense of belonging to the newspaper. At this time, seeing the rise of the newspaper, the pride and joy comes from the heart. Moreover, after the rise of the newspaper, they talk about the newspaper they belong to. , And more confident. Beside the employees of the Communications Department, there is a special person responsible for registering the specific number. The book densely records the number of deliveries, and every half an hour, a statistics report to Xia Yu. "Boss, 76,400 copies have been distributed so far, of which 32,800 copies are in the hands of major newsstands, and the remaining 43,600 copies were taken by our people." Li Qian entered the office and reported to Xia Yuhui, looking at Xia Yu His eyes are full of worship. She did not expect that in just a few days, a small newspaper with a daily sales volume of only about 3,000 was in the hands of this 16-year-old boy. 32,800 newspapers were taken away by the newsstand, which proved that 30,000 newspapers were taken away. The newsstand has been sold. It is foreseeable that after the seven-day free period, the sales volume of "Jiuding Daily" will be at least 30,000 copies, which is a full ten times higher than before! And it''s only ten o''clock in the morning, more than ten hours have passed since today, and the number of statistics is not the end! Li Qian was completely convinced by the new boss''s magical method of turning over the clouds and covering the hands for the rain. "Okay! Thank you very much!" Xia Yu said with a smile on Li Qian''s report. "Jiuding Daily" got off to a good start! And this is not the end. It¡¯s only ten o¡¯clock now. Many people are unable to buy newspapers because they are at work. After a morning of fermentation, the influence of "Xun Qin Ji" and Mingheng Industrial¡¯s articles will spread. It is estimated that after get off work at noon, Newspaper sales will explode again. It is estimated that 100,000 copies will not last noon. It seems that you have to prepare in advance! "Li Qian, inform the Printing Department that on the basis of 100,000 copies of the newspaper, another 40,000 copies will be printed, and they must be printed before noon." Xia Yu ordered Li Qian. "Good boss!" Li Qian hurriedly responded, and then ran out of the office to the printing department. Looking at the figure of Li Qian going out, Xia Yu put away his smile, took a few deep breaths, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com murmured: "Calm down! Calm down! This is just the beginning, keep working hard, stay steady, and not wave!" Next, Xia Yu continued to copy "Xun Qin Ji", hoping to be free from writing novels as soon as possible. By 12 noon, 100,000 newspapers had been sent out, and all the employees in the newspaper office cheered. "Wow, we did it. One hundred thousand copies were sent out in the morning!" "Yes, yes, the boss is too powerful, and nearly 50,000 of them were taken away by the newsstand, which is equivalent to the sales of our newspapers has reached 50,000!" ¡­¡­ At this time, Xia Yu walked out. Everyone looked at Xia Yu with admiration, which made Xia Yu feel a little proud, but immediately stopped the car and told himself to be calm. "Everyone worked hard today at noon. I have arranged a takeout, and everyone will take turns eating at that time!" Xia Yu said. "No hard work, we are willing!" "thank you boss!" "Ring Ling Ling..." Just then, the phone rang again, everyone immediately fell silent, and the person from the Communications Department immediately connected: "Hey, this is Jiuding Newspaper... Okay, 200 copies, right, in Kowloon..." "Ring Ling Ling..." seemed to have said it, and several other phones rang. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Xia Yu''s face. It was only 12 o''clock, and the expected situation happened immediately in the morning. I don¡¯t know if the 40,000 additional copies are enough! The afternoon was spent in a hurry. In the afternoon, Xia Yu did not stay in the office all the time, but went to the exchange as usual to find the material to be published in the newspaper tomorrow, and at the same time to see how much money he made. . ~: Update time adjustment notice Considering that it is really inconvenient to update at 8 in the morning, some are too rushed, and the website traffic in the morning is relatively small, so I adjusted the update time. The first is changed to about 12 noon, and the second is about 6 pm as usual. The change may cause discomfort to everyone, please forgive me! Chapter 23: 0 millionaire When the market opened in the afternoon, Xia Yu came to the Kowloon Stock Exchange and looked directly at the stock price of Mingheng Industrial. Seeing that Mingheng Industrial¡¯s stock price had fallen by a large margin and was still falling, Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help being happy. The lower Mingheng Industrial¡¯s price fell, the more he made. Since Hong Kong stocks are the same as US stocks, there is no limit on the daily limit and down limit, so the decline in the stock price of Mingheng Industrial is a miserable one. According to the current stock price, Xia Yu estimated from the bottom of his heart that the stock price is equivalent to one-fifth of the price of his short order yesterday. After a little calculation, he knew how much money he had made now, and a smile appeared on his face. I bought 1.1 million shares at yesterday¡¯s price and then placed a short order to sell. Now Mingheng Industrial¡¯s stock price is equivalent to one-fifth of yesterday¡¯s, which means that it only costs HK$220,000 to buy it. The number of stocks that can only be bought yesterday with 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xia Yu''s profit is 1.1 million minus 220,000, which equals 880,000. In other words, at the current stock price, Xia Yu''s profit has reached 880,000 Hong Kong dollars! The market just opened in the afternoon. After a morning of fermentation, Mingheng Industrial¡¯s share price will continue to fall, and it will continue to fall for some time to come. This also means that Xia Yuhai can make more money. Let me talk about the basic rules of shorting. Without using leverage, the maximum profit of shorting will not exceed 100%, and the loss is theoretically unlimited. Therefore, compared with longs, shorts are more risky, but shorts are profitable. It''s fast money, making money faster than doing more. Therefore, Xia Yu will not make more than 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars at most. Now he has a book profit of 880,000, and there is still a profit margin of less than 220,000 Hong Kong dollars for Xia Yu. However, even if the stock price fell by one-twentieth of yesterday, Xia Yu would earn a maximum of 1.045 million Hong Kong dollars. However, according to Xia Yu''s analysis, it is estimated that it is impossible to fall by one-twentieth of yesterday''s price. First, it is still possible. After all, the problem of false accounting by Mingheng Industry is too serious. "Let''s see if there is any chance again. If there is a better chance, we will hand over the empty order. If not, just keep it. How to say tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars is profit." Xia Yu thought to himself. "The time is urgent, but I should write down the articles that need to be published tomorrow as soon as possible, and go to the HSBC Securities Investment Department to check my own funds. Things can be slowed down, anyway, I can''t get away!" Thinking of this, Xia Yu continued to collect information from the exchange and started modeling and analysis. Time passed unconsciously, and Xia Yu''s notebook was full of dense messages. Today, Xia Yu did not find any information similar to Mingheng Industrial¡¯s financial fraud, but he was not disappointed either. He was mentally prepared. It was only a coincidence that Mingheng Industrial¡¯s financial fraud was discovered by him, and it could not happen every day. Otherwise, where can the stock market operate normally? Although there was no breaking news, Xia Yu also wrote a valuable article, enough to be published tomorrow. After all, the first day''s shot has already started, and the popularity of "Jiuding Daily" is also spreading. As long as the level of the article is not bad and there is a certain value, it is completely enough. Of course, it would be great if another explosive article like Mingheng Industrial could be published! It¡¯s just that this requires a certain amount of luck, I can¡¯t force it! Looking at the stock price of Mingheng Industrial once again, Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and secretly said: "It seems that the delivery is time. There is not much profit to squeeze anymore. Let''s buy the stock that I will recommend tomorrow." At this time, it has been more than two hours since Xia Yu came to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. Mingheng Industrial¡¯s share price has fallen again, and the price is equivalent to one-seventh of yesterday¡¯s purchase. Xia Yu¡¯s book profit is also It reached more than 940,000 Hong Kong dollars, a profit of more than 60,000 Hong Kong dollars more than two hours ago. Horror! Counting the previous money and the current profit, Xia Yu¡¯s assets have exceeded one million unknowingly, and taking into account the current situation and prospects of the "Jiuding Daily" fire, the value of Jiuding Newspaper Company has definitely changed. After several times, Xia Yu can say that his assets have exceeded two million. "I just became a millionaire?" Xia Yu thought afterwards, feeling a little dreamy. "It''s still money that makes money come soon!" Xia Yu was a little bit emotional. Who would have thought that his assets added up to only one hundred yuan five or six days ago. It only took five or six days to expand ten thousand times, and no one believed the news. In Xia Yu¡¯s view, the most important thing comes from the 120,000 capital earned by the gambling shop. Without this 120,000 capital, only one hundred yuan of pocket money would be thrown into the stock market, even if Xia Yu saw Lanshui Business The opportunity of Hemingheng Industrial, there is no way to make so much, the capital wants to become so much now, I don''t know how long it will take. "The most difficult period of making a fortune was directly passed by me relying on gambling and cheating, and then I will start to use my hands and feet!" "Now, let''s deliver the stock. By the way, buy the stock recommended tomorrow, and the profit should be good." Xia Yu comprehensively analyzed the stock that will be recommended in the "Jiuding Daily" tomorrow, and he is 90% sure that it will continue to rise, and the upside should be quite large and it is worth buying. And considering that Xia Yu¡¯s article will be published tomorrow, with today¡¯s record bonus, coupled with the distribution of more than 100,000 copies of "Jiuding Daily", it will definitely increase the confidence of investors and enlarge the upside potential of that stock. , When the general trend takes shape, there is not enough heavy negative news, it is difficult for the price of that stock to fall. Things shouldn''t be too late. After thinking about it, Xia Yu walked towards the seat of HSBC Securities Investment Department. When he arrived at the HSBC seat, someone greeted him immediately. It was the staff who operated Xia Yu yesterday. At this time, seeing Xia Yu coming, he immediately put on a warm smile. "Xia Sheng, you are here! Please sit down!" After the staff asked Xia Yu to sit down, he immediately cast a wink at the person next to him, who immediately brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Xia Yu. (In Xiangjiang, Sheng is short for "Mr.") "Xia Sheng, congratulations on your fortune!" The staff complimented, and Xia Yu waved his hands politely. Today, an article in the "Jiuding Daily" detonated Mingheng Industrial. The incident that caused Mingheng Industrial¡¯s stock price to plummet has been circulated on the Kowloon Stock Exchange. The level of the article has been recognized by everyone, and many elites did not like it. Absolutely, I am very curious about the author Xia Yu, wanting to know who is superior. But he knows more. The expert Xia Yu that everyone was looking for turned out to be a teenager, and he had a brilliant record after only a few days in the stock market. First, he used 120,000 funds to cut hundreds of thousands of profits in the blue water business. Then it was a strong short-selling Mingheng Industrial, with a profit of nearly one million! And all of this comes from the hands of this humble boy! Had it not been through Xia Yu''s capital operation he would never believe that there was such a genius boy! But now, he admires Xia Yu, a sixteen-year-old boy. He has such vision and ability at a young age, and he is very decisive in doing things. The future is limitless. In his opinion, there will definitely be Xia Yu in the upper class of Xiangjiang in the future. A place. Ps: This book started to be recommended at two o''clock this afternoon. It was definitely a surprise. Because of my inexperience, I never thought of recommending it before. Who knew the surprise came so suddenly. I hope to get better data through the recommended Dongfeng. How the various data today and next week determine the position of my book in the minds of the editors. I¡¯m so worried, it¡¯s time to decide my destiny. From now on, whether this book will take off by walking or taking off by rocket will depend on the data from today to next Sunday. Because I¡¯m a novice, I don¡¯t know how good the data should be. , But I can¡¯t be wrong if I know more. I¡¯m not a great god. I¡¯m just a little cute and new. I don¡¯t have the foundation and foundation to give this book a good birth. Just like what my father and I said, it can be traced back to more than three generations. I was still a poor peasant, and I had to do my best to train me when I was born. I can¡¯t let my children go hungry. This book is like my child, so I can only ask for it with a cheeky, click to recommend collection, etc., in embarrassment. Xia Yu was able to cheat and go through the most difficult period of starting a business, but after all, it is a novel. In reality, I can''t open it. I can only go step by step. How far and fast I can go. Decided, hope to be higher! Faster! Stronger! All I can do is to make good codewords, work hard to sculpt the plot, make the plot reasonable, and make everyone comfortable and try my best not to let everyone down. Above, bow! Thank you brothers! Chapter 24: Liu Tianci "Xia Sheng, what can I do for you?" the staff asked. "That''s it, now I want to close the position, please do it." Xia Yu said his intention. "Oh? Xia Sheng, Mingheng Industrial''s stock price is still falling, and there will still be profits for some time to come. Will it be closed now?" The staff reminded them tactfully. "It''s okay, it will be like that if the profit is reduced again. I wasted my time. You can liquidate the position for me first." Xia Yu explained with a smile and waved his hand. After hearing Xia Yu''s words, the staff smiled helplessly, and then remembered that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person. Having this time to wait for the meager profits of Mingheng Industrial, he had already found other opportunities. "Xia Sheng, I''m the one who talks too much, and I will help you close the position right now." The staff member smiled awkwardly, and then went down to arrange the liquidation. This kind of thing will be completed very quickly. After all, closing the position now is to reduce losses for the gambling institution, and the gambling institution will immediately make the delivery to save time. After all, they also know that the stock price of Mingheng Industry is still falling. The longer the time, the greater their loss. After a while, the staff came over again. "Xia Sheng, the position has been closed. The total income is 950,000. After deducting the expenses, there is still 900,000. Adding your principal of 220,000, you now have a total of 1.12 million funds in your account." The staff member said enviously, attitude Be more enthusiastic. After all, this is more than one million in cash. In Xiangjiang in 1978, the average worker''s salary was only a few hundred yuan a month. A millionaire is definitely a person. At least the staff''s own net worth is only over 200,000. This is still the assets accumulated for so many years, and Xia Yuguang''s capital is more than five times his total net worth, not to mention that he guessed Xia Yu definitely has other assets. Although he worked in the securities department of HSBC, he had not seen millions and tens of millions of funds, but he was only a low-level person after all, and no matter how much money he had, he had nothing but enthusiasm. So it''s no surprise that he is respectful to Xia Yu. Xia Yu just wanted to ask the staff to buy him special stocks. At this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked towards Xia Yu, and everyone in the vicinity got up to say hello to him. This had to attract Xia Yu. Yu''s attention. Xia Yu looked over and found that the suit elite was about 30 years old, wearing a pair of gold frame glasses, and exuding a confident and sunny temperament. I don¡¯t know why, Xia Yu felt a little familiar to him, but he couldn¡¯t remember it. He guessed it was the memory of someone in his mind that affected him. The staff who hosted Xia Yu immediately greeted the suit elite: "Hello manager!" Then, the staff introduced Xia Yu to him: "Manager, this is Mr. Xia Yu I told you." "Xia Sheng, this is Manager Liu of our department." Then, he introduced his manager to Xia Yu. Xia Yu hurriedly stood up, his face somewhat solemnly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Manager Liu to say hello, and introduced himself: "Manager Liu, hello, I am Xia Yu, the boss of Jiuding Newspaper Company. It is an honor to know you." "Hello Xia Sheng, my dear Liu Tianci, I am added as the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities. I am glad to meet you!" Liu Tianci also introduced himself with a smile, looking curiously at Xia Yu while speaking. Subordinates have already told him about Xia Yu, not to mention Xia Yu¡¯s millions of funds, which is a big customer for HSBC Securities; it is because of what Xia Yu¡¯s operations have shown in the past few days. Being found out by Liu Tianci aroused Liu Tianci''s curiosity. He also learned about it in detail. This understanding really made him discover something special. Because of this, he also specially asked his subordinates that once Xia Yu comes again, he must be notified as soon as possible and let him get to know him. At this time, even though he had heard from his subordinates that Xia Yu was a teenager and was mentally prepared, when Xia Yu really appeared in front of him, he was still a little surprised. This is too young, and I don¡¯t know how Xia Yu has such a talent! Liu Tianci is only 28 years old. He has spent more than five years studying in the United States. He has also honed on Wall Street for a period of time and has some insights. Except for the heirs of some big families, he didn''t see many geniuses like Xia Yu. And when Xia Yu heard Liu Tianci introduce himself, there was a memory in his mind. It was about Liu Tianci. Xia Yu knew who Liu Tianci was in an instant. The memory comes from an American friend of Liu Tianci in his previous life, a big man from Wells Fargo Bank. Liu Tianci, a Hong Kong Chinese, studied at Columbia University in the United States and obtained a dual master''s degree in financial industry and business administration. After graduation, he joined HSBC. Two years later, he served as the manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities. He has a unique investment vision and is decisive in his work. I like to study cases to improve myself. In the Plaza Accord incident in 1985, he achieved great success and created huge profits for HSBC. Later, he served as the general manager of the Asian region of HSBC¡¯s securities investment management department. He had a huge amount of funds of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. The rate of return on investment was very high. He was scheduled to be the next president of the Asian branch of HSBC, but unfortunately he passed away in a car accident at the age of 45! Proper elites, senior talents! The future boss! Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, and he had made up his mind that he absolutely must have a good relationship with Liu Tianci. As long as he is close to him, it will be much easier to act in Xiangjiang in the future. After all, in Xiangjiang, HSBC is a giant, dominating the economic lifeline of Xiangjiang. And Liu Tianci, as the current middle and senior management of HSBC, and the future boss, has a good relationship with Liu Tianci, which is a good relationship with HSBC, and there are many benefits! One more thing, Liu Tianci is very capable himself, and making friends with him is only good for Xia Yu. "Xia Sheng, what do we need to do? Please speak up, as long as you can do it will definitely satisfy you." Liu Tianci said boldly. "I just asked your staff to close the position for me, and now I am planning to proceed with the next step. I still need to trouble your department to use leverage to help me allocate funds." Xia Yu said without hesitation, this happened to be his One step plan. "Oh? Xia Sheng has quick thinking and found a way to make money again. Congratulations! With my authority, I can use up to ten times the leverage. I don''t know how much leverage Xia Sheng wants to use?" Liu Tianci said with a brighter smile on his face. Hearing what he said, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up. It was a pleasant surprise that he could use ten times leverage. He did not hesitate to say, "Thank you Liu Sheng, then. I originally planned to apply for five times leverage. It would be great to apply for ten times leverage." "It seems that Xia Sheng is very confident, so I wish you a victory! Li Feng, help Xia Sheng to allocate funds ten times. UU read " Liu Tianci smiled and ordered his subordinates to allocate funds to Xia Yu. "Xia Sheng, please tell them about the specific operation. Due to the large amount, we will sign a confidentiality agreement later to ensure the safety of your funds." "Okay, then I will trouble Liu Sheng." ¡­¡­ Next, after signing the non-disclosure agreement, Xia Yu chatted with Liu Tianci and arranged for the staff to buy specific targets. HSBC took action. Soon tens of millions of funds entered the market, and the stock price was pulled up a bit. Fortunately The selected company¡¯s plate has five to six billion, otherwise Xia Yu really does not need to use ten times leverage. And this company Xia Yu also understands that it is the backbone of a mid-sized Xiangjiang family. Because it is long, Xia Yu does not have to worry about offending them. After all, it is also cutting stockholders'' wool. During this process, Xia Yu also got to know Liu Tianci initially, and Xia Yu also took the opportunity to ask Liu Tianci to have dinner, and to get closer. It''s a pity that Liu Tianci hasn''t had time these days, so he can only regretfully wait for the next time. "Liu Sheng, our company still has something to deal with, so let''s leave first, and see you next time!" Seeing that the time is getting late, Zhao Cheng must be waiting for Xia Yu to take the manuscript back to edit, Xia Yu did not stay anymore. After saying goodbye to Liu Tianci, he walked towards the company. Looking at Xia Yu''s back, Liu Tianci pondered for a while, and murmured with emotion: "Although he is young, he has a sharp vision and decisiveness in doing things. He is definitely a great person, a young talent!" Xia Yu couldn¡¯t hear Liu Tianci¡¯s high evaluation. It didn¡¯t take long before he returned to the company, handed over the article to Zhao Cheng, and then continued to deal with the company¡¯s affairs. After all, he left for a few hours and did a lot of things. Report to him. Among them, the most important thing is the delivery of "Jiuding Daily"! Chapter 25: Great success After returning to the newspaper, Xia Yu gave the written article to Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng had already edited other content and was waiting for Xia Yu''s article. Once he got the article, he immediately arranged the editing and layout, and then put the second After Xia Yu reviewed the periodical newspaper, it was sent to the printing department. Time passed slowly, and the team that went out slowly returned. After everyone came back, they immediately began to count today''s delivery data. After the statistics were completed, Li Qian handed the data sheet to Xia Yu with a look of excitement, and everyone else looked at the blank paper in the hands of the boss Xia Yu, as if they were scratching at the heart. Looking closely at the data in his hand, Xia Yu''s face showed joy. Today¡¯s results are a bit amazing, beyond his expectations! A total of 145,000 copies were distributed, and the extra 5,000 copies were due to Xia Yu¡¯s absence in the afternoon and not enough for the newspaper to be distributed. Several other ministers jointly negotiated to print another 5,000 copies. As a result, all the additional 5,000 copies were also sent. out. Among the 145,000 copies, one data is particularly conspicuous, and that is the number of newspapers delivered to the newsstand owner. actually reached nearly 70,000 copies, more than double the 32,800 copies recorded at 10 o''clock in the morning. Most of the daily sales of a daily newspaper depend on the morning, but the situation of Jiuding Daily is a bit special. Xia Yu can understand why. After a morning of fermentation, "Looking for the Qin" and what happened on the Kowloon Stock Exchange also spread, causing many people to look for "Jiuding Daily" after get off work in the morning, wanting to know the situation. Xia Yu understands what these nearly 70,000 newspapers represent. Although these 70,000 newspapers were given to the bosses of the major newsstands for free, the bosses of the newsstands actually sold them, which is no different from normal sales. Although 70,000 copies can be sold, a large part of the reason is that the bosses of the major newsstands promote sales, but it is an indisputable fact that they are sold. If this level can be maintained, by the day when the official sales are officially launched, even if the newspaper booth boss is no longer actively promoting, Xia Yu estimates that there will be a daily sales of 30,000, compared with the daily sales of 3,000 during the period of "Hong Kong Island Daily". Servings, at least tenfold! But think about it, that¡¯s it for the first day. Will Jiuding Daily just maintain this level? It is absolutely impossible to stay in place, with Xia Yu at the helm, it will only get better and better! It is foreseeable that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... the number of "Jiuding Daily" sold through the newsstand will only increase! In addition, 75,000 copies are given out for free, and not blindly. The targets are all potential customers who are the most valuable and easiest to convert into customers, as long as two of them are willing to subscribe in the future. "Jiuding Daily", that can increase sales of 15,000 copies. The first day opened the door and burst into popularity! Stable! Xia Yu was a little excited, although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect it to go so well. The next step is to continue to expand the influence, expand the results and take advantage of the victory in the next six days! Let the number of deliveries of "Jiuding Daily" continue to rise! Looking at the curious employees around him and the ministers who looked at him eagerly, Xia Yu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Today''s results are quite fruitful. A total of 145,000 copies were sent out, of which 70,000 were from major newsstands. Take it away, it''s worth celebrating!" "Wow..." "Really successful, great!" ¡­¡­ Hearing the number announced by Xia Yu, even though some people in the newspaper are paying attention all day, they only know the number roughly, and more people don¡¯t know the number because they deliver the paper outside. The shocking numbers, the surprise on the face can''t hide. "Yes, I didn''t expect that 70,000 copies were taken away by the newsstand. Does that mean that our sales volume reached 70,000 copies? You know that our newspaper sold only 3,000 copies a few days ago!" One of the employees suddenly said loudly. "Boss, I remember that the daily sales volume of the tenth-ranked newspaper in Xiangjiang Newspaper is only 68,000 copies per day. Our "Jiuding Daily" rushed into the top ten on the first day! Squeezed the tenth place!" Sun Xin suddenly thought of something and said excitedly. As soon as the words came out, the surroundings fell silent, and then louder cheers rang out. Xiangjiang Newspaper ranked tenth in sales! debut is the pinnacle! Do not! The debut is the pinnacle that other newspapers can achieve! The peak of "Jiuding Daily" will never stop here! Everyone looked at the young boss standing in front of them with admiration. They all knew that all this was attributed to the new boss Xia Yu. It was his strategy and reforms, and it was his articles and novels that gave birth to "Jiuding Daily". Such a brilliant achievement was achieved on the first day. Throughout the history of Xiangjiang Newspapers, there has never been a newspaper like "Jiuding Daily". The first issue rushed into the top ten of the entire Xiangjiang News! If someone told them that there would be a newspaper that could accomplish this achievement, and they would be 100% unable to raise their heads, it would be a fantasy! Unless the sun hits the west, it comes out! It''s just that this kind of thing that I didn''t even dare to think about before will happen to them one day, and it is still related to them. They are like dreaming at this moment, incredible! "The boss is amazing!" "The boss is amazing!" ¡­¡­ As the shouts of a few sporadic people appeared, more and more people shouted together. The uniform and loud shouts made everyone''s scalp numb, and their blood was boiling. Seeing the excitement of the employees, Xia Yu smiled very happily, not only because of his achievements, but also because it means that he has further controlled the people''s hearts of the newspaper office and convinced these subordinates from the bottom of his heart! Seems to do something at this time! The opportunity cannot be wasted! Xia Yu''s eyes flickered, then raised his hands to signal the employees to quiet down. Watching the employees calm down, Xia Yu said with a smile: "I said that if the results satisfy me, the bonus will not be less." Speaking of this, Xia Yu stopped talking and looked at the surrounding employees. Gulu! Many people¡¯s eyes lit up and they remembered the boss¡¯s promise in the morning. They looked at the smiling boss Xia Yu eagerly, and some couldn¡¯t help swallowing, but no one would laugh at him. They all expected the boss Xia Yu to say the next thing. . "I announce that everyone''s salary will double in the next seven days, and if the official sales exceed 100,000 copies after seven days, everyone will be issued a red envelope of one month''s salary!" Seeing that everyone can''t wait, Xia Yu No longer declining their appetite, he waved his hand and announced. "Wow!" "thank you boss!" "Boss gets rich!" ¡­¡­ Everyone cheered, the boss is really awesome! In this era of Xiangjiang, the most important thing is people, so few companies will give bonuses. It would be nice to be able to pay enough. Now they have the opportunity to get bonuses, of course they are excited! Although the boss said that it takes 100,000 copies in seven days to send a red envelope of one month¡¯s salary, at this moment, no one will think it¡¯s impossible, just because according to the current trend, it is very possible to meet the boss¡¯s requirements. . They have seen the red envelope of one month''s salary beckoning like them! Their wages have increased by 20%, and their wages will be doubled within seven days, and there will be a bonus for the next month''s wages. Adding them up, they can get about 2.5 times the money they can get this month before the new boss came. , How can this not make them excited! "Well, your hard work is the best reward for me, keep working hard!" Seeing that it was almost done, Xia Yu emphasized it. U U reading www.uukanshu. cm "The boss can rest assured, we will work hard!" "By the way, our newspaper is seriously short of people. You can spread our results today and tell people you know. As long as you have real talents, our newspaper will welcome you. The opportunity is indispensable. When the newspaper is full of people. It¡¯s recruited, and the ministers of various departments check that they are not allowed to recharge their numbers indiscriminately. Do you understand?¡± Suddenly it occurred to me that as the sales of newspapers soared, coupled with the fact that many temporary workers were hired today, the newspaper was extremely short of staff. Lack of people, Xia Yu said to the employees. As long as the results of the "Jiuding Daily" and the benefits of the employees are published today, it will definitely cause a sensation. How can Xia Yu turn a blind eye to such a shareholder trend! With the help of this shareholder spirit, people who were previously unwilling to change jobs because of fear of their uncertain future will definitely be tempted! After ¡¡¡¡, seeing that the time had come, Xia Yu announced that he was off work. Except for leaving a part of the printing department staff working overtime to print newspapers, everyone else couldn''t wait to go home and tell their relatives and friends the good news. As the boss said, the opportunity is indispensable! It''s better to seize this opportunity to sell favors to your friends. Almost each of them knows some colleagues who have real talents. Following their propaganda after they went back, the results of the "Jiuding Daily" today have been circulated. Many people can''t believe it, but they have to believe it after they have repeatedly sweared by friends. After hearing about the rewards and benefits of "Jiuding Daily", many people who originally wanted to change jobs were itchy and began to seriously think about whether to join "Jiuding Daily". Some people have made up their minds to apply for jobs early the next morning. Everything is moving in the direction Xia Yu expected. It can be foreseen that the shortage of manpower in the newspaper will be greatly eased. Chapter 26: 4th The newspaper was delivered as usual in the morning of the next day. All the employees were full of energy and worked together to increase the sales of "Jiuding Daily" and strive to get the red envelope of the one-month salary promised by the boss. Because of yesterday''s sales volume, almost all newsstand owners know that "Jiuding Daily" will not worry about selling. After all, newsstand owners are people who have been selling newspapers for decades. They have a wealth of experience, and they can easily judge which newspaper will be popular. Based on the sales volume of Jiuding Daily yesterday, plus what happened on the Kowloon Stock Exchange, there are high-quality novels, and considering that the level of other articles is not bad, they are almost certain that Jiuding Daily "Today''s sales will be higher. And the "Jiuding Daily" is provided to them for free for seven days. This is entirely for them. How can they not desperately collect more newspapers? If they wait for the newspapers to be delivered because they are sold out, there is no newspaper sold during the waiting period, it is their loss! Of course, Xia Yu had already considered the number of newspaper kiosks bosses messing up, so the entire Xiangjiang was divided into several areas, and the news kiosks in each area were dispatched and counted by special personnel, in order to prevent news kiosks. The boss increased the number of newspapers because the newspaper didn¡¯t need money, and the newspaper office lost. Xia Yu made a rule that the number of newspapers that each newsstand can get for the first time on the same day cannot exceed 120% of the total sales of the previous day. ! By doing so, we will try our best to ensure that newspapers are not wasted, and to ensure the representativeness of statistical newspaper sales, and will not allow Xia Yu to make a misjudgment and affect his subsequent decisions. Soon, the number was counted and reported to Xia Yu. For the first time, all newsstands received 84,000 newspapers, which was 14,000 more than yesterday¡¯s 70,000. Almost all newsstand owners took 1.2 times the number of newspapers yesterday. Next, it depends on the renewal of the newsstand owner. Only by making sure that all the newsstand owners have called, can it be determined that the 84,000 newspapers are actually sold. After learning the data, Xia Yu arranged Zhang Lei to print 20,000 copies as soon as possible, and was ready to continue printing at any time. Yesterday, the results of "Jiuding Daily" were passed on to colleagues by employees. Those newspapers bought the "Jiuding Daily" as soon as possible today. After seeing the "Jiuding Daily" actually published the data, the entire Xiangjiang Daily The altar is completely silent. "Jiuding Daily" is coming in a fierce manner. Big newspapers such as "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", and "Hong Kong Daily" have begun to get nervous, paying close attention to everything about "Jiuding Daily", and at the same time they are studying the reasons. Let "Jiuding Daily" be able to have such anti-sky results on the first day. The news of these big newspapers is very well-informed. They almost got the information of "Jiuding Daily" last night, but they could not help "Jiuding Daily" propaganda, plus the content of the next day has been confirmed, so in their newspapers There is no content related to "Jiuding Daily" at all. But those small newspapers, because the ship is easy to operate, after obtaining the data from the "Jiuding Daily" last night, in order to pursue hot news, they directly changed the content of the original report, discussed in their newspapers, and expressed their opinions. "Miracle! Third-rate newspapers rushed into the top ten in Hong Kong in one day! ¡· "The Jiuding Daily is coming fiercely, and the dominant position of the Oriental Daily is shaken!" ¡· "The boss of Jiuding Daily is actually a stock god. One word will tell Heng Industrial''s life and death! ¡· ¡­¡­ The headlines of some newspapers are more serious, but many gossip tabloids are entirely headline parties, and there are no rules at all in order to increase sales. Of course, compared to the large-scale newspapers'' vigilance against "Jiuding Daily", the attitudes of major and third-rate tabloids towards "Jiuding Daily" are completely different! Some small newspapers are jealous. After all, everyone said that they were going to stay on the street. As a result, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" changed its appearance and became a **** in one fell swoop. . I didn''t comb my hair at first, but you secretly baked oil, it''s not authentic! But most of the tabloid newspapers are excited, and they have studied how the "Jiuding Daily" rose within a few days, and see if they can replicate the way of the "Jiuding Daily" and completely stand up! It''s a pity that they think too much, and the results of the analysis are destined to disappoint them. After all, they don''t have Xia Yu! ¡­¡­ On the user side, users who read the novel yesterday, and the majority of investors who were shocked yesterday, hurriedly bought after the release of "Jiuding Daily", of which the majority of investors were the most active. After seeing Xia Yu¡¯s analysis and recommended stocks in the newspaper, many people¡¯s eyes brightened and gathered on the exchanges. After the stock market disclosures, they directly purchased Xia Yu¡¯s recommended stocks. As a result, the stock price rose steadily. It further confirmed the accuracy of Xia Yu''s article and made investors crazy. Many hesitant investors were no longer rational and rushed to buy, hoping to catch a profitable car. The general trend of "Jiuding Daily" is rapidly taking shape! The authority is also rapidly improving like an open hanging! All of this was in Xia Yu''s expectation. After all, he had witnessed a big bull market in his previous life. In those years, various bloggers pointed to stocks, and the number of fans increased sharply. Facts have proved that you should never underestimate the craziness of stock investors. Under the guidance of the author, you can make a lot of money. A thousand yuan can be thrown out without blinking your eyes, not to mention just a small amount of money for buying newspapers! There are crazy stockholders snapping up. The price of the stock recommended by Xia Yu has skyrocketed, and Xia Yu''s profit has also been rising. Xia Yu just didn''t care about how much money he made because he has no time to go to the exchange. At this time, a large number of applicants came to the newspaper office. The ministers first interviewed and wiped out a wave, and then let Xia Yu check them. Some senior talents need Xia Yu''s personal interview. Although Xia Yu couldn¡¯t be idle at all because of too many interviewers, he didn¡¯t care at all. As long as this group of people joined the company, he would be able to share some of his burdens, and at the same time would speed up the newspaper¡¯s work efficiency, faster and better. Create value for him. One day has passed, and Xia Yu has completed a project. Interview, listening to reports, arranging printing, analyzing stock market and writing articles... In the afternoon, Xia Yu went to the stock market again, and the results were very gratifying. The selected stock rose by 15%. Xia Yu¡¯s 10 times leveraged total capital was 11.2 million, so Xia Yu¡¯s floating profit also reached It was 1.68 million, and fortunately, a confidentiality agreement was signed. Otherwise, if this spreads, it will not let the already crazy stockholders completely lose their minds! 1.12 million funds earned 1.68 million a day! Of course, this is because ten times the leverage is used. If it is a simple principal to enter the market, 1.68 million divided by ten, the actual profit is only 168,000. This will not be too shocking. But there is no way, who made Xia Yu use ten times the leverage? This is the charm of financial leverage. Everyone knows that the higher the leverage, the greater the risk, but they cannot withstand the temptation of high profits. They know that some of the delicious cakes are poisonous, but they always feel lucky and think they will not eat it. The poisoned part. Because the number of newspapers has skyrocketed In addition, based on the distribution of newspapers in the past two days, the printing plant with a daily printing capacity of 250,000 copies is expected to be fully loaded soon, and the printing speed cannot keep up. After receiving Zhang Lei¡¯s report, Xia Yu directly arranged for Zhang Lei to order a new printing press immediately, which required funds. Moreover, because of Liu Tianci''s help, Xia Yu is allowed to use ten times leverage, Xia Yu does not have to worry about insufficient funds to enter the market, so he closed the position and applied for 300,000 funds before the market closed today. When it was about to get off work, all the employees returned to the newspaper again, waiting for Xia Yu to announce today''s sales. When he saw the data, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows with joy. The data reached a new high. The total delivery volume reached 200,000 copies, and the newsstand took 120,000 copies, a sharp increase of 50,000 copies compared to yesterday. 120,000 copies directly rushed to the fourth place in the sales of all Hong Kong newspapers. Previously, the number one was "Oriental Daily", which was 170,000 daily sales when it ranked first. The second is Sing Tao Daily, which ranks 160,000 copies in sales. The third place is Ming Pao, which is 130,000 copies when the sales are ranked. According to the trend of "Jiuding Daily", as long as Xia Yu creates a few more hot spots, and has the increasingly popular "Xun Qin Ji", coupled with the efforts of the big newsstand owners to promote sales, catching up with the top three is just around the corner! After receiving the number announced by Xia Yu, the entire newspaper fell into a sea of ??joy, not only because they were basically guaranteed to get the one-month salary promised by the boss, but also because they had a full sense of accomplishment. They are creating miracles. All of them are not only witnesses, but also participants in miracles. Everything is developing in a better direction... Chapter 27: "Oriental Daily" response When the new day came, when the "Jiuding Daily" announced the sales of the previous day again, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper exploded in an instant. is not only the newspaper, but also the entertainment, business, and political circles. Newspapers are a powerful propaganda tool. The strong rise of "Jiuding Daily" means that another newspaper with a strong voice and influence will appear, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of others. Practitioners in the entertainment industry are concerned because "Jiuding Daily" can affect their reputation and interests. If "Jiuding Daily" publishes negative opinions on them or their works, it will definitely have a great impact; similarly, if there is a " They will also benefit a lot from the praise of Jiuding Daily. People in business and political circles are also paying close attention to the "Jiuding Daily", also because of related interests, just because according to the current situation, the sales limit of "Jiuding Daily" is not known where it is, exceeding the "Oriental Daily" and reaching the top of Xiangjiang. It is not impossible, and "Jiuding Daily" still covers the grassroots and the elite at the same time, and its influence will never be weak. Smart people never underestimate the power of public opinion! At this time, in the conference room of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper, the people sitting around the table all bowed their heads, and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being seated on the head, the gloomy boss deliberately targeted . Ma Chengkun is the second-generation boss of the Ma family, and he is in charge of the media mouthpiece of "Oriental Daily". He tried his best to build this newspaper, and used many shameful methods in the middle. All of this was just to create a powerful umbrella for the Ma family, so that the Hong Kong government would cast a rat-causing weapon to better protect the Ma family. After so many years, the daily sales of "Oriental Daily" finally topped the first place in Hong Kong, and its influence is growing. But who knows that the situation has suddenly changed. A few days ago, after an inconspicuous third-rate tabloid was acquired, it turned into a wolf and slammed into the Xiangjiang newspaper world. In just a few days, the delivery volume reached 200,000 copies, and the sales volume through the newsstand reached 120,000 copies, which had a great impact on the Oriental Daily. The "Sing Tao Daily" had been eyeing the "Oriental Daily" as the No. 1 throne, but now there is a "Jiuding Daily" that seems more threatening. "Jiuding Daily" poses a greater threat to "Oriental Daily", not only because the momentum of advancement threatens the dominance of "Oriental Daily", but also because "Jiuding Daily" covers a wider range of users and has a positioning. A large part of it overlaps with the "Oriental Daily", so that the daily sales of the "Oriental Daily" have experienced a rare decline in these two days. It was not obvious on the first day. It only caused the daily sales of Oriental Daily to drop by about 2,000 points, but it was scary the next day. According to last night¡¯s statistics, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" yesterday was only 163,000 copies, which is down 5,000 copies from yesterday, and 7,000 copies compared to the previous few days. Although I don¡¯t know if "Sing Tao Daily" has been affected in the same way, Ma Chengkun guesses that "Sing Tao Daily" is definitely not as impacted as "Oriental Daily" because of the users and " Jiuding Daily has little overlap, and Sing Tao Daily has a rich heritage, with sales channels all over Southeast Asia. "Sing Tao Daily" has been less affected, which means that the gap between "Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily" has narrowed unconsciously! If you don¡¯t think about anything, the dominance of the "Oriental Daily" will be taken away by the "Sing Tao Daily"! may even be taken away by the fledgling "Jiuding Daily"! Ma Chengkun is absolutely unwilling to see such a thing happen, he must find a way to solve the problem, being indifferent will only give up the overlord throne, he will definitely not be reconciled! Therefore, early in the morning, he convened a meeting with the main personnel of the entire "Oriental Daily" to analyze the problem, hoping to solve the problem facing now. "Bang!" Seeing everyone''s silence, the atmosphere was very heavy. Ma Chengkun was annoyed. He slammed the table and made a loud noise. Everyone jumped and they cheered up and sat down. "Tell me about your views, why "Jiuding Daily" can rise so quickly and have such a big impact on our newspaper!" Ma Chengkun looked around with a calm face for a week, and said to the trembling employees. Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, everyone dared not look at him. They lowered their heads and scanned the colleagues next to them to see who would be the first bird. "Why, all of them are dumb at a critical moment? Speak!" After waiting for a few minutes, no one spoke, and seeing that it was still the case, Ma Chengkun didn''t strike out his heart, his thick eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily. was originally a member of the Black Family, and the parents he came into contact with were cruel characters or desperadoes. Growing up in this environment, Ma Chengkun''s temperament also appeared very fierce, and when he became angry at this time, it was very scary. "Li Nan, what''s the situation with "Jiuding Daily"!" Ma Chengkun looked directly at the name of Li Nan, Minister of Information. "Boss, the rise of "Jiuding Daily" is too fast, and I don''t have enough time to understand it, but as far as I know, the rise of "Jiuding Daily" is mainly due to four aspects." "Firstly, its marketing methods are powerful. It not only delivers newspapers to users for free, but also delivers newspapers to the owner of the newsstand for free for seven days, which mobilizes the enthusiasm of the owner of the newsstand and helps promote the "Jiuding Daily." "Second, because the content of the financial and commercial section of the "Jiuding Daily" is level, Xia Yu, who wrote the article, directly stabbed Mingheng Industrial¡¯s loopholes on the first day, and recommended a stock the next day. The stocks of the company have indeed skyrocketed, causing a sensation, causing the "Jiuding Daily" to become famous and very popular among investors." "As for the third reason, the other content of "Jiuding Daily" is of high level. Among them, the "Xun Qin Ji" in the novel section is of high quality, and the reverse is relatively large outside. Many users buy "Jiuding Daily" for reading novels. "." "The last one is that the layout of "Jiuding Daily" is obviously different from the mainstream design of the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry. I don''t know if this has any effect." "We pay attention to the time, the right place, and the harmony of people. At this time, "Jiuding Daily" just occupied the time and harmony of people." After listening to Li Nan¡¯s analysis, Ma Chengkun frowned. There were four reasons. The first one was marketing. He could not think of any way to control it. The fourth reason could not be determined whether it had an impact, and he could not blindly. Follow the changes. And the other two reasons are content reasons, and there is still a chance to target them. He thought for a while and said: "Then target the weakening of their advantages, and write the "Jiuding Daily" to the author of financial and commercial articles and the author of "Xun Qin Ji" Dig here and cut their advantage!" Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, Li Nan wriggled his mouth several times and wanted to speak, with a face full of embarrassment. After seeing the boss glared at him and signaled that he had something to say, he bit his head and said: "Boss, this method is possible. It doesn''t work, because the author of the financial business article and the author of "Xun Qin Ji" is the same person, and that person is the current boss of "Jiu Ding Daily." Hearing Li Nan''s words, Ma Chengkun''s face was stunned, and his cheeks trembled a few times. He took a deep breath to cover up his embarrassment and astonishment. He didn''t know what to say for a while. Since the content was written by the boss of Jiuding Daily, it is impossible to dig him over. Is it really helpless for Jiuding Daily? Can you only watch it step by step threatening the dominance of "Oriental Daily" and affecting the sales of "Oriental Daily"? The success of "Jiu Ding Daily" is due to Xia Yu. Is it possible to recruit people to kill Xia Yu? This idea emerged in Ma Chengkun''s mind, but he immediately dispelled the idea, and killing Xia Yu was a disaster for the Oriental Daily and Ma Jia. This will cause panic in the entire HeungKong media community, UU reading www. uukanshu.com originally had a bad reputation for the Ma family. If this made the media feel threatened, then the entire Xiangjiang media community would verbally criticize the Ma family, and the Ma family would definitely not be able to stand it. If the mansion catches the handle, then it will be the catastrophe! He received a notice from the family, and a secret message came that the Hong Kong government was watching the Ma family closely, and seemed to have a tendency to do things, so that the family members should keep a low profile and vigilant during this time. Otherwise, if Ma Chengkun is forced to be helpless as usual, he may really be out of sight, but this time he has to tie his hands and feet. Therefore, if you want to deal with "Jiuding Daily", or to maintain the dominance of "Oriental Daily" and solve the crisis, you can only rely on formal means! It''s just that if you rely on formal means, how can you stop the "Jiuding Daily" that is occupying Tianshiherenhe? Can you only expect "Jiuding Daily" to make mistakes on its own? When will I have to wait, maybe the day lily is cold! For a time, Ma Chengkun couldn''t think of any way to contain the "Jiuding Daily". He frowned tightly, his head as big as a fight! "Think about it, is there any way to solve the current predicament." Ma Chengkun said to the sitting subordinate. waited for a long time, seeing these subordinates thinking and thinking, he was a little angry, and said directly: "give you one day, tomorrow hand in your analysis and solutions, the meeting is over!" After finishing speaking, Ma Chengkun left the field directly, leaving behind a bunch of middle and high-level men with a sad face. Ps: This chapter is nearly 3,000 words. In order to make the picture clearer, I don¡¯t deliberately card the number of words. If you click more, you can do more. The number of words in the afternoon is similar. Chapter 28: Jin Yongs sigh Pan Yuesheng is the third in command of Ming Pao. He has followed Cha Liangyong since the founding of Ming Pao in 1959. It can be said that he is a veteran of Ming Pao. And now, he is the third-in-command of Ming Pao, serving as the deputy editor-in-chief. Pan Yuesheng has been paying attention since yesterday when the "Jiuding Daily" announced the sales. When he saw the news published by the "Jiuding Daily" again today, he remained silent for a long time. "Jiuding Daily" is coming on fiercely, just counting the sales of newsstands, it can be said that it ranks fourth in the sales of Hong Kong Newspaper, which is one place behind "Ming Pao", the gap is only 10,000 copies, and considering that it is free to the public Certainly some of them will formally order the "Jiuding Daily" at that time. It is only a matter of time before the "Ming Pao" is exceeded. I thought that "Jiuding Daily" had only been established in just a few days and achieved such results. Compared with my own "Ming Pao", it has been 19 years from 1959 to the present, and it has been up and down all the way. Pan Yuesheng''s heart is mixed because of this comparison. There is no harm without contrast! Pan Yuesheng had thought about the rise of "Jiuding Daily" too fast and lack of background. It is very likely that it will be short-lived and will soon be revealed. After reading the "Jiuding Daily" carefully, Pan Yuesheng knew that he was wrong. "Jiuding Daily" was probably not an epiphany, but a chance to grow into an ivy. The content of articles in the financial and commercial section of "Jiu Ding Daily", even a man who has been in the industry for decades, can''t stand it. It''s hard to imagine that an article of this level would be written by a 16-year-old boy. The young boss of "Jiuding Daily" is by no means a simple one! And "Xun Qin Ji" shocked Pan Yuesheng! After all, the boss of "Ming Pao" is Jin Yong, Xiangjiang''s master of martial arts novels, and it is also the guarantee for "Ming Pao" to develop to this level. and Jin Yong have been old friends for decades, and Pan Yuesheng''s eyesight is also very sharp, especially for martial arts novels, he only needs to read a small part to judge whether a novel is popular. Now, according to his eyesight, "Xun Qin Ji" is definitely not inferior to Jin Yong''s level, but "Xun Qin Ji" was written by a sixteen-year-old boy. Taking into account Xia Yu¡¯s age, he does not ask him to continue to improve. As long as he maintains his level and continuously creates new novels, Jiuding Daily will be able to develop to a level not inferior to Ming Pao, let alone Jiuding Daily "There is also the current review articles in the financial and commercial sector, which attracts crazy investors. It is difficult for "Jiuding Daily" to want a flash in the pan! Coupled with "Jiu Ding Daily"''s fantastic marketing methods, Pan Yuesheng was full of emotion. Although "Jiuding Daily" is newly created, as long as Xia Yu is present, the foundation of "Jiuding Daily" will only become more and more abundant, and Xiangjiang''s newspaper is destined to have another giant. With the power of one person, he has created an influential newspaper, and Pan Yuesheng has to say a word in his heart. How could there be such an enchanting young man in Xiangjiang, and it happened that the newspaper world has stirred up the wind and rain, and some of the Xiangjiang newspaper world will be lively in the future! Thinking of this, Pan Yuesheng sighed with emotion. Because of a trance, he didn''t even notice that Cha Liangyong walked in front of him. "Old Pan, you have a melancholy look, what happened?" Cha Liangyong patted his old partner Pan Yuesheng on the shoulder and asked with concern. Pan Yuesheng came back to his senses and looked at Cha Liangyong''s concerned expression, and said with a wry smile: "Old Cha, you are here, and there is something to tell you." "Go, go to my office and sit down and speak slowly!" Zha Liangyong nodded and said, and then went to the office with Pan Yuesheng. As soon as he sat down, Pan Yuesheng took out two newspapers, which were the first and second issues of "Jiuding Daily". He handed the newspapers over and said, "Let''s take a look. You haven''t had something in these two days. Newspapers, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry has been surging." "Oh?" After hearing Pan Yuesheng''s words, Zha Liangyong was a little curious, but he was relatively silent, used to understand things and then express his opinions after careful consideration, so he didn''t say much, took the newspaper and read it. As time passed, Pan Yuesheng was drinking tea in silence, looking at Zha Liangyong, and found that his expression changed from time to time, sometimes raised eyebrows, and sometimes moved. When he saw "Qin Qin Ji", he was even more immersed in it. . After a long time, Zha Liangyong put down the newspaper and sent out a sentence of emotion: "This "Jiuding Daily" is indeed amazing. This author named Xia Yu has a very high level. Not only can he write a good article, but also this "Looking for the Qin" also shows With his profound skill, when did Heung Kong have such a character? Is it a professor at the university?" Finally, Cha Liangyong looked at Pan Yuesheng questioningly. Hearing what Zha Liangyong said, Pan Yuesheng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "It seems that I am not alone. Old Cha, I wouldn''t be surprised if Xia Yu was a university professor, but you might not believe it. Yu is still a teenager now! And he is the boss of this "Jiuding Daily"!" Zha Liangyong raised his brows and was a little surprised. After seeing that Pan Yuesheng didn''t seem to be joking, he said with emotion, "The next generation is awesome! The next generation is awesome!" "Unexpectedly, young people nowadays are so powerful, haha!" Cha Liangyong said with a smile. "Able to write "Xun Qin Ji" at this age, and judging from his writing technique, although it is only tens of thousands of words, there is obviously a trend of self-containedness. As long as the level is maintained, the Xiangjiang literary world will rise again as a martial arts novelist. , Indeed a genius, wait for me to write something." After sighing, Cha Liangyong picked up the pen and paper and began to write. Pan Yuesheng stood up curiously and stood behind Cha Liangyong and watched him write. After seeing what he wrote, he reluctantly said: "Old Cha, you are still in the mood to write a book review for "Xun Qin Ji". It''s so high, don''t you still want me to publish it?" "What''s wrong with this? "Looking for the Qin" is indeed commendable, and there are some places that touch me. If I have the opportunity, I really want to have a long conversation with this little friend." Zha Liangyong smiled and didn''t care. "Lao Cha, "Jiuding Daily" is eye-catching. Now, "Ming Pao" is just a little bit behind us. If you publish this comment again, isn''t this publicizing for "Jiuding Daily", aren''t we at a big loss?" Said anxiously, for fear that Cha Liangyong would really make a comment and assist the "Jiuding Daily". "Haha, Old Pan, I haven''t seen you worry for a long time." Cha Liangyong said with a smile. Seeing that the old partner was still in the mood for joking, Pan Yuesheng was very helpless. He looked at him fixedly, and the objection was very obvious. "Well, Lao Pan, if you care about it, you will be confused. Think about it. According to the current trend, even if I don''t make this comment, will the "Jiuding Daily" surpass our "Ming Pao"?" Cha Liangyong explained To say. Hearing what Cha Liangyong said, Pan Yuesheng was silent. Although he did not want to admit it, he sensibly told him that the opened Jiuding Daily would soon surpass Ming Pao, and it is very likely that it will surpass it today and tomorrow. Can see the data. "Since it will always surpass, why bother to be a car, it is better to sell his personal affection, what should be worried about is the Ma family and the newspaper queen, what are we worried about?" "Besides, why bother about fancy names? What''s the difference between the third and the fourth? And you have to have confidence in Ming Pao. Our "Ming Pao" has a solid foundation. The people we face are very different from the "Jiu Ding Daily". The impact is not big One more thing, "Looking for the Qin" really touched me a lot, I don''t vomit or feel happy!" Cha Liangyong continued to explain. Hearing this, Pan Yuesheng sighed and wanted to drive too. He was indeed the one who got into the horns. Indeed, as Cha Liangyong said, Ming Pao is very far from Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily. According to the sales statistics of Ming Pao in the past two days, the fluctuation is also very small. He also compared the two copies. The difference between the newspapers shows that the "Jiuding Daily" has a small impact on the "Ming Pao". Although "Jiuding Daily" is also positioned to cover elites, "Jiuding Daily" targets business-oriented elites, focusing on financial business news; while "Ming Pao" targets senior intellectuals, focusing on current affairs and people¡¯s livelihood news. Although there is a small overlap in the audience of the author, after all, the elites do not need to pay for an extra newspaper, so he does not need to worry at all. It is the Ma family and the Hu family who should be worried. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xia Yu is a rising star. It is always good to sell Xia Yu as a genius alone and to get closer. "Well, Lao Cha, I will post your comments tomorrow." Pan Yuesheng said, and then said with emotion: "This Xia Yu is really thank you!" "Haha, go with it, you may get more rewards in the future, why not do it?" Hearing Pan Yuesheng''s emotion, Zha Liangyong laughed, and did some icing on the cake without harming his own interests. Why not? It is also good for Ming Pao to maintain a good relationship with a giant newspaper that is destined to rise. Then, he stopped talking, and couldn''t help but pick up the newspaper and read it, shaking his head from time to time and sighing. Ps: Dig a hole, Jin Yong is going to push Xia Yu, I don¡¯t know if any book owner also pushes me, hey (o¦êo?) Chapter 29: 1st? The third day passed so slowly. On this day, Jiuding Daily achieved a new record. After Xia Yu recommended stocks in the "Jiuding Daily" yesterday, many people have made money. After this news spread, more investors want to make a fortune and look forward to seeing Xia Yu''s recommended stocks again. Quickly snapped up the "Jiuding Daily". In order to get the newspaper earlier and find the opportunity to make money in front of others, the majority of stockholders don''t care about the money for buying newspapers, and are unwilling to wait for free newspapers. Almost all of them buy "Jiuding Daily" at the newsstand. For them, time is money, and they want to compete with others for time! If you spend a few cents, you have a great opportunity to earn hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. If such a good opportunity is missed, it will definitely be thundered! Because of this, the newspapers at the newsstands are selling very fast today. Although the number of newspapers received by the major newsstands has increased from yesterday, Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. has made newspaper delivery calls much earlier than the previous two days. In today''s article, Xia Yu recommended another stock he was optimistic about. The situation was as he expected. The stock price of the recommended stock was pushed up vigorously in the face of the artificial gathering trend. The situation is moving in the direction of public opinion affecting stock prices. It¡¯s not to say that no discerning people can see this situation, but the benefits are right in front of them, and they cannot be unmoved. Many people think that they are smarter than others and can cash out before the stock price reaches its peak. There are risks, but how can you get benefits without taking risks? Give it a go, a bike becomes a motorcycle! Therefore, no matter what the investors think, it is an indisputable fact that their funds are flooding in madly. Originally because of the impact more than a year ago, the entire Hong Kong stock market fell across the board, down by about 20%. For such a long time, the stock price has been rising steadily. This is the general environment. And this stock recommended by Xia Yu is relative to other stocks. The undervalued stocks have greater upside potential. It¡¯s just that even if this stock has room to rise, it¡¯s not as obvious as it is now. It will take a while to rise significantly. However, due to Xia Yu¡¯s intervention, other investors¡¯ funds rushed in, causing the stock¡¯s rise to be stimulated in advance. And it''s super exciting. But no matter what the factors are, this stock has indeed risen as Xia Yu analyzed, and those who bought it have realized floating profits. In this way, people who bought stocks were grateful to Xia Yu from the bottom of their hearts and believed in Xia Yu¡¯s analysis even more. Shareholders who hesitated not to buy did not hesitate anymore, and had more confidence in the articles of Jiuding Daily, and followed closely. Follow the trend and rush in. therefore constitutes a virtuous circle. The authority of "Jiuding Daily" is soaring and sales are soaring. Many elites in the financial industry can see more clearly and have to sigh with the "Jiuding Daily"''s powerful methods, so that valuable financial analysis is reported for free, but they use this information to seize the opportunity to form a general trend to promote the " They have to admire the sales of Jiuding Daily, this kind of operation method. Of course, they have to admit that all of this is inseparable from the high-level and high-value articles written by Xia Yu. Many citizens who didn''t know the "Jiuding Daily" before were also aroused by others'' curiosity. They bought "Jiuding Daily" one after another to see how magical it is that made their friends admire it so much. Because of the above factors, the total delivery volume of "Jiuding Daily" reached 240,000 copies in one day, an increase of 40,000 copies again from yesterday. The major newsstands sold 160,000 copies, which greatly exceeded the third-ranked "Ming Pao", and directly equalized the sales of the previously ranked second-ranked "Sing Tao Daily". Considering that "Sing Tao Daily" has indeed received some impact, its daily sales have also declined a bit, and it is estimated that it is less than 160,000 copies. And "Oriental Daily" has the largest user overlap rate, and it has also suffered the greatest impact. It was able to sell 163,000 newspapers yesterday. I don''t know how much it will fall today. So thinking about it this way, "Jiuding Daily" is very likely to have ranked second, or even first! If this news can be confirmed and spread out, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper world will definitely be shaken. Unfortunately, because this month has not passed, no one has re-stated the sales rankings of major newspapers. I can only hope that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the newspapers sold by Jiuding Daily through the newsstand will reach new heights, and you can call out Xiangjiang with confidence. The number one slogan in the press. After the data was released again, the entire newspaper was plunged into a sea of ??joy. Many new employees who had just passed the interview today were shocked by this data. They were also affected by the atmosphere, and their sense of belonging to the newspaper was greatly improved in an instant. No one does not want to work in a great company. ''S company is awesome, and he can proudly tell the people around him and enjoy the envy of others. ¡­¡­ On the fourth day of the free delivery of "Jiuding Daily", Xia Yu came to the company early and saw the company''s busy scene, showing a satisfied smile. However, after seeing a few employees walking accidentally and colliding, he frowned and said in his heart: "It seems that we are going to start to replace the office space. Now the number of employees in the company has doubled. We have to keep expanding the enrollment, and if we don¡¯t change it, we won¡¯t be able to work in a crowded place." After thinking about it, Xia Yu entered the office in the respect of the employees. Not long after sitting down, Li Bin, the Minister of Communications and Communications, knocked on the door and walked in with joy. "Li Bin, sit down, what makes you so happy?" Xia Yu asked Li Bin with a smile after sitting down. "Boss, there is good news. "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao" actually published news about us. It definitely helps us!" Li Bin said with a smile on his face, and then passed the two newspapers in his hand. To Xia Yu. U U Reading www.uukanshu.c¨®m Xia Yu raised his brows, feeling a little surprised. After he took the newspaper, he flipped through it. First of all, "Sing Tao Daily", and soon Xia Yu found an article related to "Jiuding Daily" and quickly browsed it. The title is impressively: "Oriental Daily" fell to the top spot, and the face slap came so fast! There were three pictures at the beginning. Xia Yu looked at it and couldn''t help laughing. He is very familiar with these two pictures. The first one is directly marked from the "Oriental Daily", and the content on the picture, Xia Yu just saw a few days ago, it was the previous "Oriental Daily" mocking "Jiuding" Daily, and predict that the Jiuding Daily will soon be closed down. Xia Yu still remembers clearly. He sneered after seeing it at that time. He didn''t expect to be turned over by Sing Tao Daily, and Sing Tao Daily was also well-intentioned. As for the second picture, it is a ranking list, but there is only one ranking on the ranking list. The first one is "Oriental Daily", and the sales volume on the registration day is 170,000 copies. But in this picture, there is a line of words that read the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" yesterday, 158,000 copies. The third chapter of the picture is two lines of numbers, 240,000 copies and 160,000 copies, which is exactly the delivery data of the "Jiuding Daily" yesterday. Next, Xia Yu looked at the article. The sentences above were all ridicules of "Oriental Daily". The ridicule and gloating sense of misfortune were very strong. I was delighted to see Xia Yu. The author of this article has a solid foundation in writing. The "Dongfang Daily" was ridiculed over and over again, and the tone of ridicule and mockery was not repeated. What is the grievance between these two newspapers! "Oriental Daily" was treated so much by "Sing Tao Daily"! Chapter 30: resentment As if expecting Xia Yu to be puzzled, Li Bin quickly explained: "Boss, you just entered this business, and you may not know it well. The grievances between "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" existed a long time ago, and It''s still very deep. They babble in the newspapers from time to time. It can be said that the entire newspaper industry knows the grievances between "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily." Hearing Li Bin¡¯s words, Xia Yu came to be interested. He did not have a good impression of "Oriental Daily" for two reasons: one was because the treatment he received before submitting to the "Oriental Daily" made him a little unhappy; the other was because A few days ago, "Dongfang Daily" reported that "Jiuding Daily" and his belittle and contempt also made him unhappy. In addition, the positioning of "Jiuding Daily" conflicts with "Oriental Daily" at the beginning, and the user overlap rate is relatively high. If "Jiuding Daily" wants to develop, it will definitely grab users with "Oriental Daily". And "Oriental Daily" happens to be the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong. If "Jiuding Daily" wants to become a worldwide newspaper, it must first be the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong. To achieve this goal, "Oriental Daily" must be kicked. Down, this is unavoidable! The new king wants to become the throne, the old king must give way! The throne battle has never been easy. Therefore, there is a natural contradiction between the "Oriental Daily" and the "Jiuding Daily". This is determined by market conditions, so Xia Yu regarded "Oriental Daily" as an enemy when he decided to open a newspaper. In the battle for career, all enemies are blocking the way! As for the positioning of "Sing Tao Daily", as far as I can see it, there is little conflict with "Jiu Ding Daily". In addition, "Sing Tao Daily" is only the second child. The reaction to "Jiu Ding Daily" rushing to the first place should be even greater. Weaker. Therefore, Xia Yu is very happy to comment on the grievances between "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily". It¡¯s just that, anyway, "Jiuding Daily" will still have a certain impact on "Sing Tao Daily" after all. What kind of grievances caused "Sing Tao Daily" to ignore the influence of "Jiu Ding Daily" on it? "Li Bin, tell me what kind of grievances they have between them." Xia Yu said to Li Bin curiously. "Okay, boss." Then, Li Bin began to narrate. After Li Bin finished speaking, Xia Yu understood. Xia Yu was no longer absolutely serious about the ridicule of "Sing Tao Daily", but felt light. If he was the owner of "Sing Tao Daily" If that happens, he will have to go to Dongfang Daily to close down. It''s not that Xia Yu is cruel, but that the grievances between "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" are indeed relatively large. This has to start with the "Oriental Daily". "Oriental Daily" was founded in 1969, and it has only been 9 years now. However, it has reached the No. 1 position in Hong Kong in just 9 years. It is very difficult to do it according to normal methods. Not a kind person. In addition, Xiangjiang was very dark in the 1960s, with mixed fish and dragons. Various conflicts and bloodshed occurred almost every day. The people were living in dire straits, and the Hong Kong government was under great pressure and had to rectify it. In this case, in 1968, the prototype of "Five Million Inspector Lei Luo", that is, the chief Chinese inspector Lu Le, who was both black and white in Xiangjiang River, decided to ¡®retreat in the rapids¡¯. Seeing that the Hong Kong government intends to rectify the order of the entire Xiangjiang, the Ma family, one of the four major black families in Xiangjiang at that time, realized the danger. The Ma family urgently needed to build a suit of armor for themselves to protect themselves. At this time, the Ma family thought of the weapon of public opinion-newspaper . After running the newspaper, the Ma family still felt uneasy, thinking about the relationship in the east, and took the initiative to lean to the east. The position of the "Oriental Daily" has become completely opposite to that of the mainland, and the Ma family also wants to use the newspaper to launder money. And to send messages for the washing powder transaction. In order to achieve these goals, the "Oriental Daily" must rapidly expand sales in order to show its power. But the Ma family has just started a newspaper, and he is also a newcomer in the industry. He doesn''t understand many things, so what should I do? Of course it is a digging! At that time, the "Sing Tao Daily", which was founded in 1938 and had the highest sales volume in Hong Kong in 1969, appeared in the sight of the Ma family. Don''t think about it, that''s it! Relying on his strong black power, the Ma family started very hard and directly digs out almost half of the "Sing Tao Daily" employees. Many high-quality talents have been poached, causing the "Sing Tao Daily" to fall into chaos. The founder Hu Wenhu was seriously ill and was hospitalized, and died shortly afterwards. Hu Wenhu''s daughter Hu Xian had to rush to take over the family''s business in grief. Also, in the process of digging people, because of the black background of the Ma family, many people didn''t want to get too close to them, so the Ma family digging was not smooth at first and bumped into walls everywhere. This annoyed the Ma family. He was already overbearing and accustomed to it, and he was too lazy to behave, so he directly threatened him. Many people have to bow their heads and obey for the safety of their families and themselves. During this period of time, not only the "Sing Tao Daily", but also many other newspapers were dug up. Even the "Hong Kong Island Daily" that had fallen at the time was dug out. With the elites of various newspapers, coupled with the reputation of being taken in the Ma family, and the Ma family may have made a lot of profit to lure them, the employees of the "Oriental Daily" had to work hard, hoping to reach the Ma family''s goal as soon as possible. Because of these various reasons, "Oriental Daily" can develop so fast! In just nine years, he was on the throne of the Hong Kong newspaper! Of course, because of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974, the atmosphere in Xiangjiang has become much clearer, and the Ma family has also become much more restrained. Afterwards, the Ma family was targeted by the Hong Kong government. In recent years, the Hong Kong government has increased its suppression of the Ma family. Therefore, the Oriental Daily has become more and more low-key and disciplined. UU reading dare not let the Hong Kong government. Catch the handle. Otherwise, if it were a few years ago, Xia Yu, an ordinary child from the fisherman''s family, might really be abolished by the Ma family as a blocker. However, Xia Yu is not afraid, because he came from later generations knowing that this year, the two leading figures of the Ma family will be wanted by the Hong Kong government and have fled Xiangjiang one after another. Therefore, Ma Jiahe''s "Oriental Daily" will not be arrogant for long. During this time, they will definitely keep their heads down. ¡­¡­ From this point of view, the grievances between "Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily" have gone, and the founders died indirectly because of "Oriental Daily", which can be said to be the murder of their father. As a daughter, Hu Xian''s hatred for Ma Jiahe''s "Oriental Daily" can be felt by Xia Yu without guessing. Just considering the black strength of the Ma family, Hu Xian, a strong woman, did not dare to talk about revenge, but she was holding her breath in her heart, so she always attacked the "Dongfang Daily" on the "Sing Tao Daily" to vent her anger. Hu Xian is a woman again, and indirectly harmed her father. Isn¡¯t it okay for someone to scold him? The Ma family knew that it was wrong, and it was not easy to be familiar with a woman, so he let the "Sing Tao Daily" criticize and occasionally quarreled with the "Sing Tao Daily". Both sides have long been used to it. Even the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry has become accustomed to it. If "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" do not appear in the same after a while, others will find it strange. After all, Hu Xian, the powerful Queen of the Hong Kong newspaper industry, is also quite pitiful. He knows who the enemy is, but has no way of revenge. This kind of aggrieved aggrievedness can be imagined. (In order to better design the plot, the above part of the content is purely fictitious, please do not take it seriously) Chapter 31: Time has come "Forget it, don''t care about the grievances between them, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, just look at it." "Maybe there will be a chance to cooperate with the "Sing Tao Daily" in the future, pit the "Oriental Daily", presumably that newspaper queen should be interested." Xia Yu secretly thought. "I just didn''t expect that Li Bin looks honest, and he is so interested when talking about gossip. You shouldn''t look good! He is honest on the outside, but he is talking about someone like him on the inside!" Looking at what I said just now, I am still alive. With Li Bin''s expression still unfinished, Xia Yu said cheerfully. Then, Xia Yu put down "Sing Tao Daily" and looked at "Ming Pao" again. Soon, Xia Yu found Jin Yong''s evaluation. Xia Yu was shocked and looked at it quickly. Jin Yong is very famous in China, even many children have heard of Jin Yong''s name. For people born after the 1980s and 1990s in mainland China, there are very few people who have not seen Jin Yong''s works or adaptations of TV series, and Jin Yong has a great influence on them. In his previous life, Xia Yu also read the news. In 2016, when Jin Yong was 92nd birthday, Jack Ma, who never loved money, also celebrated his birthday personally. This shows that Jin Yong''s influence is indeed great. As far as things are concerned, let alone how they are, their works alone have a huge impact. Xia Yu in the previous life was also one of the people affected. He still can''t forget the scene of watching Jin Yong''s martial arts novels in the book rental room outside the school. The classic TV series of Jin Yong''s martial arts filmed by TVB also left a deep impression on him, which is still unforgettable. Now, I don¡¯t think that Jin Yong would write a review for his "Xun Qin Ji", and the evaluation is still very high. even shouted through the "Ming Pao", praising Xia Yu as a young talent, saying that he had time to communicate with Xia Yu. Seeing Jin Yong¡¯s high evaluation, Xia Yu was a little guilty. After all, "Looking for the Qin" was not written by him. He is just a text porter. If you talk to Jin Yong, this martial arts novel, maybe he will be the original form. Bi Lu, then I will be embarrassed. However, there is also the memory of Lingyun, the great online novel god, and future generations like to read online articles. There is absolutely no shortage of various brain holes. If there is a chance to communicate with Jin Yong in the future, then use the strengths and avoid weaknesses, the depth is not enough, the breadth Come to make up, think about it, should not let Jin Yong down. shook his head, Xia Yu no longer thinks about these things that haven''t happened yet, let''s talk about the future things later, now I still have to think about how to reply to Jin Yong. After all, Jin Yong highly praised "Xun Qin Ji" in Ming Pao and praised Xia Yu as a young talent, and another martial arts novelist in the future, his achievements will not be worse than him. This kind of high praise will definitely arouse the whole The sensation of Xiangjiang. Moreover, Jin Yong¡¯s position in Xiangjiang is too special. How can the people and books he praises not get the attention of others? In addition, "Ming Pao" itself was developed based on Jin Yong''s novels. Now many loyal readers are fans of Jin Yong''s martial arts novels. Naturally, they are the best audience for "Xun Qin Ji". Now that "Xun Qin Ji" has Jin Yong''s recommendation, it is foreseeable that they will definitely find "Xun Qin Ji" to watch. As long as they watched it, Xia Yu would not believe that they were not attracted by the plot. If it is said that the spread of "Xun Qin Ji" in Xiangjiang was only partial and relatively scattered, it will take some time for the fire to form. So from today, with Jin Yongtian¡¯s handful of firewood, "Looking for the Qin" is about to form a prairie fire, and the fire will appear soon! "No matter why Jin Yong helped during this period of time, and no matter what his purpose was, but he did help me, I took down this favor." Xia Yu secretly thought. "Just, how should I reply?" Xia Yu thought. Huahua sedan chair people carry people, Xia Yu still has to hold Jin Yong. Moreover, Chinese culture emphasizes the golden mean, and Xia Yu is a junior in terms of age and industry. As a junior, Xia Yu must show a certain degree of humility. Thinking about it, Xia Yu took out the pen and paper and started to think. After careful consideration, he wrote down his reply to Jin Yong. Between the lines, there is a sense of humility and gratitude to Jin Yong. While complimenting Jin Yong, it also shows that he will work hard to make progress and not let Jin Yong down. The yardstick is very well grasped. Xia Yu can be said to have used the greatest Work hard to write this reply. I just don¡¯t know if this is considered a commercial blow? scanned it again, and found that there was nothing wrong with the terminology, Xia Yu asked Li Bin to call Zhao Cheng, hand over the article to him, and repeatedly told him to edit the layout carefully and put it in a prominent position. After ¡¡¡¡, he encouraged Li Bin and Zhao Cheng a few more words, and Xia Yu let them out. The Ming Pao was folded and put away by Xia Yu. Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Xia Yu smiled and murmured: "It''s time to tell his parents. With Jin Yong''s evidence, they will believe it. When I go back today, I will withdraw some money and I will give them. A pleasant surprise." Xia Yu had been waiting for an opportunity to let his parents know about the novel he had written. He thought it would take a while, and waited until "Looking for the Qin" was all over the Xiangjiang River. But now that Jin Yong¡¯s comments are accidentally received, there is no need to wait. Up. After all, the prestige and reputation of Mr. Jin in Xiangjiang for decades is not covered, and Xia Yu''s parents must be very clear. Now that he got his affirmation, then Xia Yu simply borrowed this Dongfeng. With this background, then what Xia Yu said would be convincing. In addition, Xia Yu is preparing to withdraw 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash, and when it is time to put it in front of his parents, the impact is definitely greater, and it is difficult for parents to say anything against it. It¡¯s not that compared to Xia Yu¡¯s 2 million assets, he only took out 20,000 Hong Kong dollars and looked stingy, but Xia Yu has considered it. After all, his parents are uneducated people, and he will live in the bottom of his life and have never seen anything. In the world, paying 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for them is already a huge amount of money. If Xia Yu really tells his parents that he has 2 million in assets, he is really worried that his parents will not be able to faint, and he will be worried all day. Xia Yu still understands the truth that is too late. I have to say that in order to better persuade his parents, Xia Yu also worked hard. ¡­¡­ As Xia Yu expected, when he saw Jin Yong¡¯s comments in Ming Pao today, many martial arts fans began to go crazy, looking for "Jiuding Daily". After reading it, they were fascinated by "Qin Searching" and looked for In the previous issues of the newspaper, we must fill in the content that was not read before. Tian Guang is a young editor of the "Oriental Daily". He has only been employed for less than two years. He was also present at the meeting yesterday, although he was only sitting in the corner. Because he was really busy at work yesterday, he didn''t read the "Jiuding Daily" carefully, and he didn''t care much. After all, in his opinion, the law does not blame the public. And in his opinion, even other big leaders can''t find out. If he finds something extraordinary , it will offend them, so it''s better to keep the mean. It¡¯s just that on the way to work today, he bought a copy of Ming Pao and a copy of Jiuding Daily, and it was good to be pretentious. It happened that he happened to see Jin Yong¡¯s comment on Ming Pao. Take a closer look. After reading it, he realized that "Dongfang Daily" was in trouble again. Originally, "Jiuding Daily" was so threatening. Now that Jin Yong pushed it again, "Jiuding Daily" would definitely explode again. It¡¯s just that this "Xun Qin Ji" seems to be seen somewhere? and many more! Xiang Shaolong, modern people cross, isn¡¯t this written by the young man who was pushed up before? turned out to be "Xun Qin Ji"! Tian Guang is the younger editor who was sitting in the office when Xia Yu retrieved the manuscript. At this time, there was a rumbling in his mind, and he co-authored such a good novel, and the novel that even Jin Yong praised was rejected by their "Oriental Daily" as rubbish! Fortunately, he didn''t refuse, otherwise if the boss knew about it, he wouldn''t be stripped of his skin. "Huh? Wu Neng refused this "Xun Qin Ji", isn''t that..." Thinking of this, Tian Guang narrowed his eyes, and his face showed hatred. He remembered the experience of being aggressively oppressed by a middle-aged editor because he had just arrived. At that time, he lived like a cow, let him do everything, and was tired as a dog every day. The middle-aged editor Wu Neng was still beautiful. It''s so shameless to train him by name. He was daring to be angry and afraid to speak, and on the surface he was respectful to Wu Neng, but in fact the grievances in his heart got bigger. "You have today too! Hey..." Tian Guang smiled sinisterly, and then quickly walked towards the company with the "Ming Pao", he was going to inform the big boss Ma Chengkun. Chapter 32: Inform Inside the building of Oriental Daily, Tian Guangzheng stood respectfully in Ma Chengkun¡¯s office at this time, telling in detail the ¡®facts¡¯ that happened in front of him a few days ago. And Ma Chengkun is looking down at the Ming Pao on the table, and what comes into view is the commentary by Jin Yong. are several issues of "Jiuding Daily" collected by Tian Guang, and each issue is turned to the novel section of "Xun Qin Ji". At this time, Ma Chengkun was expressionless, but Tian Guang felt that the temperature in the entire office seemed to drop a little. "...I heard a few words from Wu Neng at the time, and I felt that this "Xun Qin Ji" should be good. I wanted to ask another question, but Wu Neng had already said that it rejected the manuscript. I haven''t read it. , Missed opportunity, boss, I was at fault." "Moreover, I also checked. The owner of "Jiuding Daily" and the author of "Xun Qin Ji" are the same person. I heard that it was because there was no way to publish novels, so I simply bought a newspaper to publish novels." Tian Guanggong Said respectfully, and stopped speaking after speaking, stood upright and stopped speaking, and even breathed as lightly as possible. After listening to Tian Guang''s words, Ma Chengkun did not express his opinion, and continued to read the "Xun Qin Ji" in the newspaper without looking up. "Shasha..." "ßË......ßË......ßË......" For a while, only the sound of reading newspapers and the sound of fingers tapping on the table can be heard in the office. As time passed, Ma Chengkun''s face became gloomy, and his fingers tapped the table faster. Then, Ma Chengkun raised his head and glanced at Tian Guang. This look gave Tian Guang a feeling of being seen through. "Will the boss find out my careful thoughts?" Tian Guang couldn''t help swallowing his saliva, his heart beat faster with a guilty conscience, unknowingly sweating on his forehead, he lowered his head slightly, and looked at the floor. Thunder Fury. He didn''t forget what kind of person the boss was. It can only be said that Tian Guang also took a big risk in order to cheat on Wu Neng. If it weren''t for the resentment towards Wu Neng in his heart, Tian Guang really didn''t have the courage to inform the boss and reported the facts. ''. Fortunately, it did not usher in the boss''s thunder anger. "Very well, you have to report to it in time. It''s not your fault that you didn''t leave "Xun Qin Ji". You must pay more attention in the future. Go out first and call Wu Neng in." Ma Chengkun said lightly. "Okay, boss!" Tian Guang said immediately, then carefully exited the office and gently closed the door. After he left the house, Tian Guang took a deep breath, wiped his forehead and murmured softly, "I was scared to death, but fortunately the boss was not angry." "It''s just that Wu Neng, the boss is not angry with me, then you will suffer, hehe!" Tian Guang sneered, and thought to himself. After Tian Guang went out, Ma Chengkun''s face turned hideous and scary. Tian Guang can see things, how can Ma Chengkun, an old river and lake, fail to see it? Moreover, he knows that "Xun Qin Ji" poses a much greater threat to "Dongfang Daily". Because of Jin Yong¡¯s sealing pen, Ming Pao is also constantly penetrating into the field of high-level intellectuals. Therefore, the grassroots level has relaxed its management, and the Oriental Daily has seized the opportunity, hoping to win over the grassroots. Because of the relatively low cultural quality and the inability to understand those deep-seated things, the best way to attract grassroots readers is interesting news and novels. This is also the reason why Ma Chengkunhua received high prices. I just never thought that the money was spent, and I didn''t receive a good book. Instead, even Jin Yong was optimistic about "Looking for the Qin". If it is simply a pity for a good book, and "Xun Qin Ji" is buried, Ma Chengkun will not be very angry. It¡¯s just that the book "Looking for the Qin", which was rejected by myself, became the "Jiuding Daily", and the "Jiuding Daily" also had a strong impact on the "Oriental Daily". In just a few days, the sales of "Oriental Daily" were steadily Decline. Yesterday, it dropped again. The total sales fell below 160,000 copies to only 158,000 copies. Compared with the peak period, it has dropped by more than 10,000 copies. This situation is still known by my father, and it was paid yesterday. Being told by his father, Ma Chengkun was in a bad mood. And today, I learned even worse news. The "Xun Qin Ji" of "Jiuding Daily" was recommended by Jin Yong. It is completely foreseeable that the sales of "Jiuding Daily" will soar again. Of the four factors that Li Nan analyzed yesterday, the third influencing factor is the weakest. After all, no matter how good the book "Looking for the Qin" is, it has only been serialized for a few days, with only tens of thousands of words. Support is small after all. Only now with Jin Yong¡¯s assist, this situation will change drastically. Of course, this is not what makes Ma Chengkun the most irritating. It is the last paragraph of Tian Guang that makes him angry. It was because "Xun Qin Ji" was rejected and had to buy a newspaper to serialize it, and then "Jiu Ding Daily" appeared. Although I don''t know the truth or not of what Tian Guang said, Ma Chengkun already believed most of it in his heart, because reason told him that this situation is very likely to be true. Thinking of adding an opponent for no reason, "Oriental Daily" would be shocked again. Ma Chengkun''s heart burned with anger and murderous heart. The reason for all of this is because his editor Wu Neng has no eyes! ¡­¡­ At this time, in the original office, Wu Nengzheng, the middle-aged editor who rejected Xia Yu''s manuscript, was paralyzed on a stool with both eyes blankly. The Ming Pao and Jiuding Daily were on the desk. Apparently he also saw Jin Yong''s comments and recognized the book "Xun Qin Ji". After all, although a large number of manuscripts have to be reviewed every day during this period, Xia Yu also left some impressions in his heart. Of course, this impression is a bad impression. Yesterday, he discovered that the "Xun Qin Ji" in the "Jiu Ding Daily" was the one that he rejected and discarded as rubbish. Of course, he was scared in a cold sweat after seeing it. Of course he understood what it meant. Later, at yesterday''s meeting, he did not dare to take a breath, and when he heard the three analyses mentioned by the Minister of Information Li Nan, he was even more alarmed. He thought about it last night. When the manuscript was rejected that day, there was only one Tian Guang sitting next to him, but he thought about it carefully, he didn''t seem to say anything, Tian Guang hadn''t read the manuscript, so he probably didn''t know which one was rejected. "Looking for the Qin". Just don''t know why, he is always a little uneasy, after all, he has done something bad and it has also affected the newspaper. But he can¡¯t help it, UU reading can only Pray not to be known by the boss. It''s just a pity. After he bought Ming Pao as usual, when he saw Jin Yong''s comments, his mind suddenly exploded and he became desperate early in the morning. Now, he has been sitting in the chair for half an hour, doing nothing, his mind is in chaos, regret, worry, fear and other emotions fill his mind. At this moment, Tian Guang walked in and said nonchalantly: "Brother Wu, the boss is looking for something to do with you." After Tian Guang finished speaking, he found that Wu Neng was still indifferent and seemed to be in a trance. He raised his brows and glanced at Wu Neng''s desktop. After seeing the Ming Pao, his mouth raised a faint smile. But immediately disappeared again, and shouted again with a louder voice. "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, the boss wants you to go to his office." "Huh?" Wu Neng was awakened. After hearing Tian Guang''s words, his face changed instantly, and he yelled out in panic. "Go ahead, don''t let the boss wait for a long time." Tian Guang said again. "You won''t be discovered by the boss, will you? What should I do?" Wu Neng thought subconsciously. People who have done bad things are always afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! "Grunt." Wu Neng swallowed, then smiled and asked Tian Guang, "Oda, do you know what the boss is looking for?" "I don''t know, I also happened to be passing by the boss''s office, and the boss asked me to call you. Go, don''t let the boss wait for a long time." Tian Guang said with a puzzled look. "Okay." Wu Neng smiled reluctantly, and then stepped up his heavy legs and walked toward the boss''s office. Looking at Wu Neng''s heavy back, a sneer crossed the corner of Tian Guang''s mouth, and a feeling of revenge spontaneously emerged. Chapter 33: Being a man is a subject "ßËßË!" Coming to the outside of Ma Chengkun''s office, Wu Neng took a few deep breaths, and plucked up the courage to knock on the door. "Come in!" After a cold voice came from the room, Wu Neng opened the door and walked in, taking the door with his backhand. As soon as he entered the room, Wu Neng saw the boss Ma Chengkun sitting at the desk. At this time, Ma Chengkun''s eyes were slightly narrowed and his eyes kept on him, which made Wu Neng''s legs tremble. There is a ghost in my heart, I don¡¯t have enough confidence! "Come here." Ma Chengkun still said blankly, and hooked his hand to signal Wu Neng to come. Even though he was very resistant, Wu Neng came to Ma Chengkun. When he saw the familiar newspaper on Ma Chengkun''s desk, his heart quickly fell. "Have you read this?" Ma Chengkun threw the newspaper in front of Wu Neng and said, looking straight at him. "Look at it." Wu Neng swallowed, then whispered. "Just watch it, then do you have anything you want to tell me?" Ma Chengkun said lightly. Although Ma Chengkun didn¡¯t look angry, Wu Neng¡¯s heart throbbed sharply. He didn¡¯t believe that the boss would ask him to say these unnutritious words, and the expressionless expression of the boss made him completely unable to see what the boss was thinking. Instead, it made him more afraid. He felt a little dry lips, his lips moved slightly, and he said: "Boss, I...I..." I heard a few times, but Wu Neng couldn''t say anything. "Okay, needless to say!" Ma Chengkun interrupted him directly, his tone a little cold. Who is Ma Chengkun? When he saw Wu Neng''s appearance, he was already affirmed that what Tian Guang said was true. Wu Neng really rejected "Xun Qin Ji". The dilemma facing Dongfang Daily was also because of him. of. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the problem will come to a receiving editor. "Come here!" Ma Chengkun said coldly. "Snapped!" "what!" When Wu Neng approached again, Ma Chengkun suddenly slapped Wu Neng''s face with a heavy slap. Because of the force, he knocked Wu Neng directly to the ground. Watching Wu Neng scream on the ground with his face in pain, Ma Chengkun''s anger that had been gathered for a few days broke out. He walked over with a hideous face and kicked Wu Neng hard. He screamed again and again when he kicked, but Ma Chengkun remained indifferent and continued to release the anger in his heart. At this time, Tian Guangzheng was hiding secretly not far from Ma Chengkun¡¯s office. Hearing the screams coming from the office, he was full of agitation and muttered, ¡°Fortunately, the boss didn¡¯t throw the anger on me, but , Wu Neng will not be beaten to death by the boss?" Tian Guang thought of the news circulating outside about the Ma family, and his heart was sweating for Wu Neng secretly. Although he wanted to take revenge on Wu Neng, he just wanted to breathe out. If Wu Neng was really hurt too much because of him or even thrown into the sea to feed fish, he would feel guilty instead. In the final analysis, his nature is not too bad, but he has been oppressed by martial arts for too long, but this hatred is not so great that martial arts will kill him. "I just hope that he can escape, from now on, the hatred will be cleared." He thought to himself. But he said that in the office, Ma Chengkun continued to release his anger on Wu Neng, and he cursed while beating: "Wu Neng, it depends on your dad that he really didn''t name him wrong, he is an incompetent man!" "Don''t worry if you are useless, you still make me such a trouble, I threw my mother, I want to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" Ma Chengkun said bitterly. Hearing Ma Chengkun¡¯s words, Wu Neng, who was already in pain and howling, was terribly frightened. He didn¡¯t care about the pain in his whole body, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged: ¡°Boss, I¡¯m wrong, let me go. Little, the boss please, let me go..." Seeing the miserable state of Wu Neng, Ma Chengkun was not at all moved. For this kind of pediatrics, he has seen many children since he was a child, and has long been immune. ¡­¡­ After a long time, Ma Chengkun''s anger disappeared a lot when he saw the bruised nose and swollen face, the corners of his mouth were still bleeding, and the martial arts limp on the ground. He can''t really kill him. After all, the crime is not dead, and if the martial energy is really thrown into the sea to feed the fish, it will make the entire newspaper office panic and lose more than the gain. One more thing, now the Ma family has been targeted by the Hong Kong government. If he is carrying a murder case on his back, he will definitely be caught by the Hong Kong government, which will cause a lot of trouble to the family and become uncontrollable. "You get out of here, don''t let me see you again from now on!" Ma Chengkun straightened his clothes and his complexion returned to calm. Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, Wu Neng, who was in a trance, quickly cheered up and gratefully kowtowed Ma Chengkun. It is not that Wu Neng is overly afraid of Ma Chengkun, but that he has to be afraid. It is precisely because of working in the "Oriental Daily" that Wu Neng knows better than people outside that the Ma family is acting fiercely. Now that he is beaten, he is fine. He already feels Very lucky. "Hurry up!" Ma Chengkun irritated when seeing Wu Neng. "Yes, I''ll get out..." Wu Neng quickly got up and walked out of the office. After ¡¡¡¡ came out, he couldn''t care about the strange expressions of his colleagues around him. He quickly went back to the office to pack his things. He didn''t want to stay here for a moment. Soon, he packed up his things and walked out quickly. It¡¯s just that when he passed by Tian Guang¡¯s door, he stopped for a while and smiled sadly: "Tian Guang, is it you?" Although it was a questioning, the tone was very positive. After all, Wu Neng was not stupid. In the "Oriental Daily" newspaper, only Tian Guang knew that he had rejected the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji". "Why?" Wu Neng asked painfully. Tian Guang was silent, seeing Wu Neng''s current miserable situation, his hatred disappeared. sighed, Tian Guang looked a little guilty, didn''t dare to look at Wu Neng''s eyes, and said, "Think about what you have been doing to me." "Haha, I deserve it! Haha!" Hearing Tian Guang''s words, Wu Neng was taken aback first, then closed his eyes and muttered with a sorrowful laugh. He has awakened. In the past two years, he has indeed relied on his old qualifications to constantly oppress Tian Guang and let Tian Guang do everything, but he never cared. He didn''t expect Tian Guang to stabb him. After all, the source is still in him. On myself. Wu Neng did not dare to be angry here. He was already scared and did not dare to stay longer in the Oriental Press Group. There is a way that people will die, and their words are also good. Although Wu Neng did not reach the point of death, he really thought that Ma Chengkun was going to kill him. At that time, he felt that death was so close to him. He has also realized that there is indeed a problem with his own life. If he had more patience at the time and read the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji" with a correct attitude, UU reading would definitely find that " The excellence of "Xun Qin Ji" will not be what it is now. If he did not bully Tian Guang on the basis of his seniority, he would not be stabbed in the back by Tian Guang. All of this was caused by his own inadequacy in the world. "I make my own feelings, this is the retribution I deserve!" Wu Neng muttered painfully. Then, he carried things, resisting the pain all over his body, and walked towards the door step by step. When passing by other colleagues, he would slow down and bow. Seeing what Wu Neng looks like now, and thinking about what he was before, everyone feels sad and secretly alert to themselves. After walking out of the building of the Oriental Press Group, Wu Neng glanced back again, his eyes full of regret. "If God gives me another chance, I will never look down upon others..." "Absolutely not..." PS: I wrote this chapter with emotion, and I changed it back and forth many times. The last version only felt better. Originally, the title wanted to write that the wicked have their own wicked grinds, but after all I hope that people have a kindness in their hearts, even though the kindness of many people is covered up. Although I just came out of society, I have seen many people and things of all kinds. I also keep reminding myself that I must be peaceful in my life, don¡¯t think about taking advantage of others, and don¡¯t offend others for no reason. I didn''t know when I was trapped, but at that time, it would be too late to wake up. Whether you recognize it or not, smile back. I have always believed that it is always right to be kind to others, to smile, and to remain humble, no matter how you reach out without hitting the smiley face, and encourage everyone! dislike me being verbose, just don¡¯t slap your face (???????) Chapter 34: Shock of parents Time flies like a white horse, and the time of the day flows away again in the busy. In the afternoon, after reading the statistics, Xia Yu was very satisfied. The total delivery volume reached 270,000 copies, among which the number taken by the major newsstands reached a new high, reaching 180,000 copies, 20,000 copies higher than yesterday. And Xia Yu estimates that the influence of Jin Yong''s recommendation has not yet fully spread. In the next few days, the assists given by Ming Pao alone will continue to increase sales of Jiuding Daily. After sharing the data with the employees again, and once again improving their sense of honor and sense of belonging to the company, Xia Yu announced that he was off work. After ¡¡¡¡, he picked up the collected "Ming Pao" and these several issues of "Jiuding Daily", went to HSBC to take out 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and walked home. After returning home, Xia Yu counseled his younger siblings to study, and it was almost time for dinner. When he saw that the food was almost done, Xia Yu shouted to his father who wanted to leave, and then took out a stack of newspapers in the doubtful eyes of his parents. Seeing Xia Yu''s strange movements, Xia Dahai questioned: "A Yu, what''s the matter with you?" Hearing Xia Dahai''s words, Xia''s mother Chen Mei also looked over, and even the younger brothers and sisters looked at Xia Yu curiously. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Yes, I have good news to tell you." Hearing the good news, Xia Dahai came to be interested, but looking at the newspaper Xia Yu was holding, he was also a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do. Seeing the embarrassment of his father, Xia Yu woke up, because when he was a child, his family was poor and his parents hadn¡¯t read any books. He didn¡¯t know many words. It was almost impossible for them to read newspapers. Xia Dahai never bought it newspaper. "Dad, let me read it to you!" Xia Yu said immediately. "Good," Xia Dahai said cheerfully. Then, Xia Yu began to read the comments written by Jin Yong. It didn''t take long for Xia Yu to finish reading. Xia Dahai and Chen Mei both looked confused and wondered what Xia Yu was doing. Of course, Jin Yong and the others knew that although they had never bought a newspaper because of their educational level, they had heard other people talk about it, and Xia Yu also liked to read Jin Yong''s books when he was a child. There was a copy of "Shooting the Eagles" on Xia Yu''s bedside. "Heroes", of course they know who Jin Yong is. Of course, Xia Dahai also heard a high-frequency word in Xia Yu''s mouth, that is "Xun Qin Ji", he also heard it, this is a novel, Jin Yong gave this novel a high praise. In addition, the name of Xia Yu appears in this passage, and it is closely related to "Xun Qin Ji", and he is the author of this novel. Just, what is Xia Yu thinking about? Xia Dahai and Chen Mei didn¡¯t know what Xia Yu meant, and they were afraid to associate their son with Xia Yu in Jin Yong¡¯s mouth. After all, they never knew that their son had written a novel, and they just thought the pronunciation of this person¡¯s name. Same as his own son. They didn''t know why Xia Yu said this, but Xia Ming understood it. At this moment, his small face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of worship. My parents don¡¯t know "Xun Qin Ji", but of course he knows that this is a novel written by his brother. These days, he waits until his brother finishes writing and reads it every day. Why is he not familiar with it? It''s just that he didn''t expect the novel written by his brother to have been published, and was praised by Jin Yong, the master of martial arts novels. He was so excited that he almost couldn''t find North. Brother is really amazing! Seeing the puzzled eyes of his father and mother, Xia Ming wanted to say that "Xun Qin Ji" was written by his brother, but he promised that his brother could not say so, so he first looked at his brother Xia Yu. After seeing his brother nodding, he was immediately excited. He said: "Dad, Mom, "Xun Qin Ji" was written by my brother! The Xia Yu mentioned by Jin Yong refers to his brother." what? ! The "Xun Qin Ji" praised by Jin Yong was actually written by his eldest son Xia Yu? The young genius who has been praised by Jin Yong is also his son Xia Yu? how is this possible! Xia Dahai and Chen Mei''s eyes widened, and then ignoring the shock, they immediately looked at their eldest son Xia Yu, who has always been their pride. "Yes, Mom and Dad, I wrote this novel." Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile. "Look, it has already been serialized in the newspaper for several issues." With that, Xia Yu raised the issues of "Jiuding Daily" in his hand, and then handed it to his younger brother Xia Ming for confirmation. After all, his parents also recognized Does not come out. Xia Ming took the newspaper in his brother''s hands, and soon discovered the novel above, which was "Xun Qin Ji". He happily said: "Mom and Dad, this is true. It''s in this newspaper!" "Let me see, come and show me." Xia Dahai''s face bloomed with joy. He took the newspaper in his son''s hand and looked through it. Although he didn''t know many words, he didn''t care. He only had to know this. It is enough to publish a novel by my son. Seeing the joy of his parents from the heart, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. This kind of smile is too familiar to him. In his previous life, his parents smiled like this every time he got a three-good student. "Good, good! My son''s novel has been published in the newspaper, and even Jin Yong has said that my family will have a great writer. As the master said, my son is a Wenquxing star! Haha!" Xia Dahai Hahada With a smile, his eyes couldn''t help getting wet, and his eyes on Xia Yu were full of pride. Chen Mei was already wiping her tears, but her face showed a happy smile, her eyes full of happiness when she looked at Xia Yu, her son became a talent, and she was happy from the heart. Seeing the appearance of his parents, Xia Yu felt a bit sore in his eyes, and couldn''t help but lifted his head and blinked, not wanting to cry. At this time, Xia Yu thought that he had taken the money back, so he stood up and talked to his parents before entering the room. Then he took out a black belt and opened it on the table. Two stacks of banknotes suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Chen Mei couldn''t help screaming at first, but immediately covered her mouth, Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei stared at the two stacks of money on the table. In the end, Xia Dahai recovered first, but still looked at Xia Yu in shock and said, "A Yu, what''s the matter?" "Yes, A Yu, where did your money come from? Don''t scare your mother!" Chen Mei said nervously. With so much money, more than the savings in the family, he was worried that Xia Yu''s money was illegal. Coming. "Parents, don''t think too much. The 20,000 yuan is the cost of writing my novel and I earned it myself." Xia Yu explained quickly. "Really?" Xia Dahai swallowed and said in shock. "It''s true, I can''t lie to anyone!" Xia Yu promised, but after finishing speaking, he felt a little guilty in his heart. I told this white lie. "How come there are so many? Is writing novels so profitable?" Chen Mei asked worriedly. "It''s true, this is still the first amount of money. As long as I keep writing down, there will be more in the future." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Okay, okay! My son is too good, hahaha!" Xia Dahai laughed excitedly again. "Don''t laugh so loudly, don''t be heard, I will collect the money first, and later marry Ayu you a wife." Chen Mei counted off Xia Dahai who was laughing, and then tightened the bag again nervously, for fear of the money It was discovered and taken away by others. "Amin, Xiao Mei, you can''t tell me about money, you know?" Chen Mei exhorted to the younger son and daughter. "Hmm, don''t worry, mom, we will never talk nonsense." Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei nodded quickly. Although they are young, the children of the poor are relatively precocious. They also know that the money must not be known to outsiders, otherwise things will happen. "Mom, you can use this money as you like, and you will have it after a while. You can buy more delicious foods to supplement Amin and Xiaomei. The same goes for you. Don''t worry about money in the future, I will work hard to earn it." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Okay." Chen Mei looked at her husband when she heard the elder son''s words, and found that he also nodded. She hesitated and said. Although Xia Yu is her son, Chen Mei does not have any opinions because of her personality. He listens to her husband at home. Since the husband has no opinion, the son also expressed his opinion. Now the two top pillars in the family have expressed their opinions. , She agreed. "By the way, Mom and Dad, I will always be busy during this time. This "Jiuding Daily" is run by someone else with me. I have to go to the newspaper to work, so I will only come back at night." Xia Yu said again. He still didn''t talk about dropping out of school right away. After all, it is still early to leave school, so he is not in a hurry. Now let his parents adjust slowly, and then talk about his parents'' opinion. And now, he also took the opportunity to talk about the matter of running the newspaper After all, the newspaper industry now basically knows that "Jiuding Daily" belongs to him, and it will definitely reach his parents in the future. Get a vaccination. But in order to prevent his parents from being too shocked, he changed his mouth and said that he had done it with others, which was more convincing. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when his parents asked him where the money for running the newspaper came from. It is easy to worry about parents. "Have you run a newspaper with someone else?" Xia Dahai asked again. His son surprised him too much tonight, and he was already a little numb. "Yes, I invested in this novel. Others contributed money and I contributed, but only took a small part of the newspaper''s shares, most of which belonged to others." Xia Yu explained. "No wonder you have been running out during the day." "Well, then Ayu, you have to work hard, don''t let other people''s money go in the water, I am sorry for them." Xia Dahai exhorted. "Well, don''t worry, dad." Xia Yu nodded and promised. ¡­¡­ After ¡¡¡¡, after the family chatted again, Xia Yu went back to the room. "Huh..." Lying on the bed, Xia Yu let out a sigh of relief, and now he is finally free. Before, he had to explain to his parents because he had to go out early and return late every day, so he can no longer use it in the future. It also took a big step to mention dropping out of school with my parents. Everything is developing in the predetermined direction. ps: I have good news that I can¡¯t help but share with you. Everyone is too strong. The book is recommended this week. So the editor will arrange a classified push next week. Starting at 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon on Sunday, I hope to see it again. Achieve good results, give others to pk, rush to the next round, although I don''t know which one is the next better recommendation, it is a bit embarrassing. Chapter 35: 5000000 Early the next morning, after Xia Yu got up, he found that his parents had already prepared breakfast, so he waited for him to get up. After eating breakfast, his parents repeatedly told him to work hard, for fear that he would conflict with others because he was not serious, Xia Yu could only smile and promise not to. is his own company, he can''t do it well, can he expect others to do it well? Of course, this is from my heart, it is impossible to tell my parents. On the way to ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu bought a few newspapers and read it as he walked, without wasting a single bit of time. "what?" Suddenly, Xia Yu saw an article in the "Sing Tao Daily" and couldn''t help but utter a whisper. "Major insider, Dongfang Daily fell to the top spot because of a problem with its own family, it deserves it! ¡· Seeing this title, Xia Yu became interested, and quickly looked down. At this point of view, he couldn''t help but feel happy. "Sing Tao Daily" still mocked the "Dongfang Daily" as always, showing no mercy. The article above is exactly what happened in the Oriental Press Group yesterday. It was written in great detail. I don¡¯t know where the "Sing Tao Daily" got the news. Almost all the insiders who know this are the "Oriental Daily". The employees here just broke up this kind of family ugliness and was known by the "Sing Tao Daily". It is estimated that the "Oriental Daily" will definitely be furious. Is there a person in the east and heart in the star island? Xia Yu couldn''t care how the horse boss would become furious, he was a little emotional when he saw the last picture. The picture shows Wu Neng walking awkwardly outside the Oriental Press Group building. Xia Yu recognized it at a glance. The embarrassed person in the photo was the middle-aged editor who rejected the manuscript at that time. He just didn''t expect to be swept out in just seven or eight days, and the reason was because he rejected the manuscript. , And forced Xia Yu to create a newspaper by himself. All of these were clearly written by Sing Tao Daily, and Xia Yu had to admire it. Just seeing this photo, Xia Yu felt a little emotional. After all, rejecting "Xun Qin Ji" was a loss of "Dongfang Daily", and Xia Yu still wanted to thank him. If it wasn''t for the rejection of the novel, maybe Xia Yu would not I would think of going to a gambling shop to make money, and there would not be such a good situation now. The middle-aged editor was punished, and Xia Yu didn''t feel any pleasure. After all, the level is different now, Xia Yu doesn''t need to care. Who has ever seen a tiger put a mouse in his eyes? Although Xia Yu is not a tiger now, compared with Wu Neng, the gap is really big, and Xia Yu doesn''t need to care about him. No longer pay attention to this matter, Xia Yu once again looked at the contents of other sections, and arrived at the company unknowingly. ¡­¡­ Unknowingly, three days went away again, and in a blink of an eye it was the last day of free newspaper delivery. Xia Yu once again saw the statistical data. At this time, there was no wave in his heart. He really saw the data steadily rising every day, and the excitement had long been released. Since Jin Yong¡¯s comment three days ago, the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" has risen rapidly, and then it has spread throughout the Xiangjiang River in just two days. You can just get on a bus and you can see someone watching the "Jiuding Daily" Novels, or hear other people talk with relish. Because of this, the support of "Xun Qin Ji" to "Jiu Ding Daily" has been increased several times, and the "Jiu Ding Daily", which has already slowed down, has exploded again. On the fifth day, Xia Yu once again instructed stockholders to buy stocks, which caused the crazy stockholders to fall into a carnival, and many people made a fortune. Of course, Xia Yu didn¡¯t let himself suffer. He also made a lot of money. After so many days, the total funds have swelled to more than five million. After deducting all expenses such as handling fees, he has already got five million. He mentioned it. After all, the sixth and seventh days happened to be Saturdays and Sundays. The stock market was closed, and money would not make money in the stock market, and the settlement would make it easier for the next operation. Such a large amount of funds was all deposited by Xia Yu into HSBC¡¯s account, so he was upgraded to a senior customer. I have to say that it is too fast to use public opinion to influence stock prices and make money. Fortunately, the current management of the Hong Kong stock market is still a bit chaotic and many regulations are not perfect. If after the establishment of the Stock Exchange and all the regulations are in place, or when it is the same as the big A shares in the previous life, Xia Yu dares to do this, and he will definitely be investigated and fined. For Xia Yu, now is a good time! ¡­¡­ Although Xia Yu''s heart has no fluctuations in today''s newspaper delivery volume, for the other employees of Jiuding Newspaper Company, this figure shocked them again. A total of 350,000 copies were delivered, and 220,000 copies were sold by major newsstands. These two figures are unprecedented numbers in the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry, and they have to make them crazy. Of course, the crazy growth of "Jiuding Daily" for so many days has also caused the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry to lose its voice. Many newspapers have been affected, but there is no way. I can only watch the "Jiuding Daily" raging, this kind of aggrieved. The mood really makes them uncomfortable. "Pop, papa!" "Well, everyone, be quiet!" Xia Yu applauded to stop the cheers of the employees below. All the employees immediately calmed down and looked at Xia Yu together, their eyes full of enthusiasm. "Today''s data is the result of everyone''s joint efforts, it is worth celebrating!" "However, we still can''t relax. Tomorrow is the most important time. Many people outside do not believe in our company''s data. They think that we can send out so many newspapers because we are free. As long as we officially charge, it will be revealed. It''s bullshit, tomorrow we will slap them in the face with tangible sales!" "Because we have a lot of new colleagues, and now the company is a little cramped, there are many inconveniences in the office, and some confusion during the period. But tomorrow is a critical moment. We must not drop the chain. Each department strengthens management and other people also Obey management and do your own job well." "Let me tell you first. In the near future, I will find a larger office space for the company so that everyone can work more comfortably. Some of the current difficulties are temporary, and everyone can tolerate them, understand?" "Understand!" "Boss, don''t worry, we understand UU reading !" ¡­¡­ Everyone shouted loudly, which made Xia Yu very satisfied, and then announced his dissolution. Everyone continued to get busy in an orderly manner, striving to finish their own work. Then, Xia Yu returned to the office, thinking about whether there was anything he hadn''t prepared yet. After all, tomorrow is the first day that "Jiuding Daily" officially starts charging, and he cannot tolerate any slack. In order to make the sales of "Jiuding Daily" as much as possible tomorrow, and use sales and influence to conquer the entire Xiangjiang newspaper world, Xia Yu is well prepared. One of the preparations is tomorrow''s article on the stock market. The quality of that article can be said to be the highest except for the news from Mingheng Industrial. It is an article recommending stocks. In order to write this article, Xia Yu has thoroughly analyzed and polished it for nearly seven days. The quality is very high and the gold content is full. Many people will definitely make money if they seize the opportunity to buy. This kind of high-level analysis articles, if Xia Yu now sets up a securities company and has his own independent financial analysis platform, this level of reports will be bought by other securities companies at a big price, but now Xia Yu is free to the society public. Coupled with the influence of so many days, every article of Xia Yu has benefited investors. He has long formed the image of a selfless stock **** in the minds of investors, and the general trend has long been formed. A stock recommended by Xia Yu in the "Jiu Ding Daily" tomorrow, even if it is a junk stock, can be pushed to skyrocket in the face of gathering public opinion, let alone this stock itself is a buried gold? I did everything I could, and everything depends on tomorrow''s performance! How high the sales of Jiuding Daily can reach, wait and see! Chapter 36: Make history A new week is here again. Ma Hui came to the company early, received a thick stack of newspapers, and drove to the delivery location after riding in the car. "Uncle Cousin, I''m here to deliver you the newspaper." Not long after, he arrived in front of his cousin¡¯s newsstand. After saying hello, he opened the box at the back of the car, took out a stack of newspapers already marked and handed it over. The number of newspapers delivered by a specific newsstand was booked by the bosses of the newsstand the day before. This is also to confirm the printing quantity so that it can be printed in advance. Another is to speed up the speed of newspaper delivery, and try to deliver newspapers to the newsstand before citizens go out, without affecting the normal sales of newspapers. "Hui Tsai, your newspaper is really good for sale. I don''t know if the 300 copies we want are enough to sell!" The newsstand boss said with emotion. Compared with other newspapers in the same industry, as sales terminal people, they have the deepest feelings, and they also know how popular "Jiuding Daily" is. Moreover, through the conversations of those who bought newspapers, he also learned more details and had a deeper insight into the factors of the rise of "Jiuding Daily". Moreover, because their kind of newsstand owner sells newspapers for decades and spends their free time by reading newspapers, they know the entire Hong Kong newspapers well, what is the positioning of various newspapers, and how popular are they? , They also feel the deepest. Ma Hui¡¯s cousin has been able to say with certainty that as long as "Jiuding Daily" does not make mistakes, he will definitely be able to secure the No. 1 sales of Xiangjiang Newspaper. This is based on his intuition that he has tempered through decades of reading newspapers. "It''s just a pity that your "Jiuding Daily" is not available to me for free, so I can''t make so much money!" The newsstand owner sighed with regret. Hearing what his cousin said, Ma Hui smiled helplessly: "Uncle cousin, you can be content. Even when you come out of our newspapers, your newsstand and newspaper sales have soared. In the past seven days, you have made all the money you made. After earning so much in two months, if we sell it to you for free, then our newspaper will go bankrupt. What do we rely on for food." "Haha!" The owner of the newsstand smiled and did not speak. He also knew that it was impossible to sell him for free, but after all, people are greedy. In the past seven days, he has made money that he usually can earn at least two months. It''s a free newspaper, of course it''s a pity. "Okay, the number is correct. You can send it to the next one. Your newspaper is treated so well, and it is a big newspaper. It has a good face. Work hard and work hard to make money for your brother to go to school. Don''t lose your job. Others It''s hard to find such a good company in this place." The owner of the newsstand probably clicked on the newspaper. After he felt that the quantity was correct, he was too lazy to order it, and told his cousin Ma Hui. "Don''t worry, cousin, I''ll do it well. Goodbye, cousin, I''ll leave first." Ma Hui nodded seriously, then said goodbye to the newsstand owner, and drove to the next newsstand. Similar things are happening all over Xiangjiang. Within a short period of time, "Jiuding Daily" was delivered to the major newsstands through the hands of employees. On this day, all employees in the entire company were enthusiastic, and 200% of their work enthusiasm broke out. Similarly, statistics are collected every once in a while, and the statistics soon exceed 100,000. When Xia Yu informed everyone of this data, the entire company was plunged into a sea of ??joy. For the employees'' celebration, Xia Yu did not stop him, but watched with a smile. The happier the employees are, the higher their sense of belonging and recognition to the company. This is a good thing! When a person is passionate about something, he will feel that time flies very quickly when he is busy. Soon, two-thirds of the day passed, and it was more than five in the afternoon. Under the gaze of expectations, the statistical data is finally released. Total newspaper sales reached 250,000 copies! This is a newspaper sales record that has never appeared in the entire Xiangjiang! The previous sales record was set by the "Oriental Daily", with daily sales of 170,000 copies! And now this record has been refreshed, and it has also increased by a large margin by 80,000 copies. If other newspapers want to exceed this sales volume, it is estimated that it will not be achieved until more than ten years at the earliest when the Xiangjiang economy becomes more prosperous. But by that time, the sales of Jiuding Daily will definitely be much higher than now! The sales volume of 250,000 copies seemed to Xia Yu to be very satisfied, and it was just within the range of his inner estimation. Although the newspaper delivered 350,000 copies yesterday, the sales volume today is only 250,000 copies, which is 100,000 fewer copies. But you must know that among the 350,000 copies yesterday, only 220,000 copies were actually sold by the newsstand. The 250,000 copies today are 30,000 copies higher than yesterday. One quarter of the 120,000 citizens who received free newspapers yesterday bought "Jiuding Daily" with money today. Then think about 220,000 people who have bought newspapers. The rest of the people who received free newspapers are not The most valuable potential users, in this case, the conversion rate reached 25%, which is already very high. If you think about it deeper, the previous 220,000 newspapers sold by the newsstand were sold under the hard work of the newsstand owners, and the number of people who are willing to buy it will definitely be lower. And today, the newsstand owner needs to pay for the "Jiuding Daily" by himself. The relatively profitable time has passed. Where will the newsstand owner go to sell the "Jiuding Daily"? Therefore, when this sales bonus is lost, it can still increase sales by 30,000 copies on the basis of yesterday, reaching 250,000 copies. In Xia Yu''s view, it is already very successful. After this data is known by other newspapers, I will definitely envy and hate it. After all, this is real sales. It is the sales contributed by users. They have no reason to question "Jiuding Daily" again. "Well, "Jiuding Daily" can have such a high sales volume, it is inseparable from your dedication, so I now announce that there is no need to wait until the end of the month, and I will send you one month''s salary red envelope in advance!" Xia Yu said loudly. Then, several ministers brought out several plates covered by red cloth from the office, and each plate was piled up like a small bag. Next, Xia Yu opened the red cloth, revealing piles of bulging red packets. "Wow!" Looking at the red envelopes above, all the employees opened their eyes and cheered. After all, they didn''t expect the boss to come and send them together. But now, the surprise comes so suddenly. "Line up, don''t grab, I will come up to receive the red envelope if I read the name, Wang Dashan." "Here!" A loud voice sounded from the crowd. "Hahaha!" Then everyone laughed together, and even Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling. "I''m asking you to go up there, how excited are you?" A colleague next to Wang Dashan gave him a push, teasing him. Wang Dashan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. After seeing Xia Yu nodding to him, he ran up excitedly. Next, Xia Yu took a red envelope and handed it to Wang Dashan. Wang Dashan took it over in a hurry, chanting, "Thank you boss, thank you boss!" "Do it hard!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile, patted his shoulder directly, and said encouragingly. "Hmm, don''t worry, boss, I usually work hard!" Wang Dashan shivered with excitement, his face became flushed, and he nodded violently Go on. " "Next, Liu Neng..." ¡­¡­ "Come on, work hard!" ¡­¡­ Everyone, Xia Yu personally handed the red envelope to his hand, and patted their shoulders to encourage them. Even new hires, Xia Yu treats them equally, giving them a red envelope of one month''s salary, which makes these new employees very happy. After all, they have no hope, and they did not expect the boss to be so generous. This completely refreshed their minds. After all, they have never heard of anyone who went to a company to get a red envelope of one month''s salary after working for a few days, but now, they have experienced it firsthand. Therefore, one by one, sincerely thanked Xia Yu and recognized the company. And Xia Yu can also clearly feel that as the employees came up to receive the red envelopes from him, the spirit and spirit had changed, and one of the obvious ones was the respect full of his eyes. Feeling this kind of atmosphere, Xia Yu is happy, isn''t this exactly what he wants? Otherwise, why did he spend his time and attention again and again, not to buy people''s hearts? It can be said that in order to increase the company''s control and to increase the company''s centripetal force, Xia Yu will not miss any opportunity, and create opportunities without opportunity. This is also the reason why the upper ranks like to show, it is really small, but the benefits are big! If you miss such a good thing, how can you become a qualified superior? How to be a qualified capitalist? If Xia Yu acted like this several times in the future to increase the loyalty of the employees to him, even if Xia Yu sold them, he would still be happy to help Xia Yu count the money! After ¡¡¡¡, after sorting it out and confirming that the work is complete, the employees began to go off work one after another, and Xia Yu was also ready to go home. Chapter 37: Exposed? The next day, the "Jiuding Daily" published the data again, and the increased and bolded number of 250,000 silenced the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry. From today, "Jiuding Daily" has completely established the No. 1 position of Xiangjiang Newspaper, and its sales are much higher than the second place. They were in a daze. It took only a few days for the "Hong Kong Island Daily" to be acquired and reformed into "Jiuding Daily", and then in just seven or eight days, "Jiuding Daily" was like a floating mountain that appeared out of thin air, surpassing all newspapers. Above it, they could not breathe. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu also heard Li Bin say that after "Jiuding Daily" announced the sales, "Oriental Daily" owner Ma Chengkun angrily smashed his favorite antique teapot. Xia Yu just smiled and ignored it. In the next few days, "Jiuding Daily" continued to maintain its level, and the average sales volume remained at around 250,000 copies, disappointing its peers who were expecting a decline in sales of "Jiuding Daily." Of course, the sales and short-term strong rise of "Jiuding Daily" also gave those small newspapers a bowl of chicken soup. Many newspapers started to learn. Some learned layout design, some paid a lot of money for novels, and some simply went to university for research. Professor and expert of economics... I have to say that "Jiuding Daily" has indeed brought vitality to the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry, like a catfish rushing into a school of fish, forcing other newspapers to make efforts to respond and change. It is worth mentioning that more and more people have discovered that after the "Jiuding Daily", the reading value of "Dongfang Daily" seems to have declined, which has also led to the impact of "Jiuding Daily" on "Dongfang Daily". The daily sales volume dropped to 140,000 copies, which was a drop of 30,000 copies from 170,000 copies more than ten days ago. The loss was heavy. The total sales volume was much lower than that of Sing Tao Daily and fell to about third in Hong Kong. If it is not saved in time, it is really possible to be overtaken by Ming Pao. Regarding this situation, Xia Yu was vigilant. This time he was miserable at Oriental Daily. Although he knew there would be an impact, he did not expect the impact to be so great. In this regard, Xia Yu also expressed some innocence. He did not expect that the users of Oriental Daily would be so disloyal, and they would switch the door wall as soon as they hit. It is estimated that this is also because of their short rise time, insufficient background, and user loyalty. The degree is not cultivated well. Just look at the "Hong Kong Economic Journal", which also focuses on business and financial news. The total sales volume also has more than 90,000 copies. Under the impact of "Jiuding Daily", it still only drops by about two thousand copies. The business is really good, and the user loyalty is quite high. In any case, the sales of "Dongfang Daily" plummeted, and the signs are still on the side of "Jiuding Daily". This enmity is big! I just hope that the Ma family will not make any excessive reactions. But I have to guard against it. If there is no major event during this period, try to keep a low profile. There is no need to announce the sales in the future. This is too dazzling, and it is easy to cause other newspapers to jealous, which is very harmful. As for they will learn the news through the mouths of the employees, that has nothing to do with Xia Yu. After all, one is active and the other is passive. And Xia Yu also really needs to spread the sales of "Jiuding Daily", so as to better let companies with advertising needs know about it, so as to better charge advertising fees. Yes, after the sales of "Jiuding Daily" have stabilized, Xia Yu can safely advertise in the newspaper. Otherwise, what money can he make by selling newspapers? It is barely enough for the company to operate, and to make a lot of money, you still have to advertise. Moreover, the selling price of the advertising space is also a reflection of the status of the newspaper. Of course, Xia Yu has to give me a good look. After notifying the Director of Advertising Department Huang Wenshan to inform major companies to open up advertising spaces, many companies waved banknotes into the company, and they were already eager to see through. Before the free marketing of "Jiuding Daily", many companies reacted and prepared to take a ride on the "Jiuding Daily", but at that time Xia Yu clearly stipulated not to publish advertisements, and Huang Wenshan could only endure heartache to those Enterprise explanation. Now Xia Yu finally let go. After receiving the order, Huang Wenshan almost jumped up without excitement, and finally didn''t have to help the distribution department to deliver newspapers every day. Moreover, because the advertising department has been unable to help the company generate revenue, Huang Wenshan and the employees in his department are somewhat unable to look up. Now that the boss has spoken, there are so many companies rushing to advertise, and finally they can generate income. It''s still a seller''s market, and the job is easy to do. It is foreseeable that the position of their advertising department in the company will also rise a lot. These are invisible, but they can be clearly felt. Isn¡¯t there a saying that says that, no man doesn¡¯t want to be big, thick, and hard. A wealthy man can be strong and his waist is hard! In order to get closer to these three goals, Huang Wenshan vowed to sell the advertisements at a high price to create more revenue for the company. ¡­¡­ This morning, Xia Yu was going to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. Not far from the company, suddenly several reporters ran over with long guns and short cannons. One of the reporters reached Xia Yu¡¯s mouth with a microphone and asked quickly. Said: "Xia Sheng, have you made a million Hong Kong dollars in the stock market?" Hearing what the reporter said, Xia Yu frowned, how could this matter spread, and now reporters have stopped him to interview. He originally intended to refuse to answer and leave directly, but the question asked by this reporter puzzled him. If he wanted to figure out what was going on, he had to deal with it in advance. Xia Yu did not answer this question, but instead asked, "Which newspaper do you belong to?" "Xia Sheng, we are from the Metropolis Daily, can you answer this question for me?" The reporter replied quickly, and then asked respectfully again. reporters don''t dare to underestimate Xia Yu, after all, the entire newspaper industry now knows that the founder of the legendary newspaper "Jiuding Daily" when he was a teenager, can be said to be a newspaper tycoon. And their "City News" is only a third-rate tabloid. Their boss has to respectfully say hello to Xia Yu, so he dare not make any overstepping actions against Xia Yu. One more thing, he also yearned for the welfare and strength of "Jiuding Daily", and he might hop to "Jiuding Daily" one day, so for the sake of his own future, he might be his boss for the future. Young tycoon, reporters dare not leave any bad impressions. "This news is purely a rumor. Where did you hear about it?" Xia Yu denied, he would not admit this. Under the premise that he doesn''t know the situation now, he can''t talk nonsense, so as not to Get yourself into trouble. "But Xia Sheng, it is reported that you also bought stocks while recommending stocks and made a profit of one million. This report has indicated that the news comes from a staff member of HSBC Securities Investment Department. Then you mean HSBC''s work Did the staff lie?" The reporter asked again, looking at Xia Yu closely. As he said, the reporter picked up a newspaper and pointed at the content on it to show Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately looked over it. "The stock **** Xia Yu, the stock market makes millions! ¡· The headline made Xia Yu frowned. When he looked at the name of the newspaper, it turned out that it was a third-rate tabloid that had never heard of the name. Only small newspapers would rely on exaggerated headlines to attract people''s attention. "I didn''t make money in the stock market, this is a rumor." Xia Yu said without changing his face, bluntly saying that this report is a rumor, if someone who didn''t know it might really think it was fake. "Please get out of the way, I still have things to deal with, thank you!" Xia Yu pushed him away without waiting for the reporter to answer, and walked towards the company, not planning to go to the exchange so fast. "Hey, Xia Sheng..." The reporter hurriedly rushed over to continue asking questions. But at this time, because he was not far from the company, employees had already seen Xia Yu being stopped, and now an employee happened to run over to help Xia Yu stop the reporter. Xia Yu returned to the company without looking back, and then told an employee: "Go and buy me a copy of the "Urban Discovery" newspaper." "Good boss!" The employee hurriedly ran outside. Ps: The score is strong this afternoon, the data before Wednesday determines the recommendation for next week, so ask for a recommendation ticket and follow-up clicks, thank you everyone, I wish everyone a happy life (*¡ã?¡ã)=3 Chapter 38: Liu Tiancis trouble During the time when the employees went to buy the newspaper, Xia Yu thought about the impact this incident might have on him, and wanted to prepare psychologically in advance so that he would not be in a hurry when encountering emergencies. At this time, Xia Yu felt a glare that was a little dazzling, and his gaze unconsciously looked out of the window. At this time, his gaze condensed, and he glanced around a few more times, his brows frowned slightly. Because he found that there were already many reporters around, he guessed that other newspapers had already got the news, and now they were all ready to lie in wait to interview him. Xia Yu was a little depressed. Because of the rise of "Jiuding Daily" and the rise of Xia Yu''s legend, he also met some reporters during this period, but he basically avoided him. It is very important to avoid one. The reason for that is that although there are reporters, the number is not large, and it is not as high as it is now. And now, there are many reporters around, interviewing the boss of another newspaper, which makes Xia Yu feel helpless. "Hey, it is estimated that going out during this period will be affected." Xia Yu murmured, shaking his head, feeling a little depressed, which caused him some trouble. At this moment, the employee returned after buying the newspaper and handed the newspaper to Xia Yu as soon as he came in. However, Xia Yu found that the gaze of the employee looking at him was constantly flickering and was full of shock. Obviously he read the newspaper on the way back. On the content. Xia Yu didn''t bother to pay attention to what he thought. After letting him out, he picked up this third-rate newspaper and read it. After reading it, Xia Yu frowned. deserves to be a third-rate tabloid. In addition to the value of a headline, the content is repeated and sighed over and over again, without any nutrition. From this article, Xia Yu didn¡¯t get much useful information. He just learned that the news really came from an employee of HSBC, but the newspaper didn¡¯t say who it was, and he didn¡¯t even have a last name. , But the author who wrote this article conclusively said that the news is absolutely true. Of course, after reading this article, Xia Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. At least the HSBC employee said only a little bit, and only said that Xia Yu made millions of Hong Kong dollars in stocks, but in fact, after several days of continuous Operation, Xia Yu''s funds have reached more than six million and nearly seven million, far exceeding the million he said. And this article did not show the specific operation process of Xia Yu, which also let Xia Yu breathe a sigh of relief. At least, it can be inferred from this that the HSBC employee who broke the news was either accidentally breaking the news, or was an employee who did not participate in Xia Yu''s fund operations, which made Xia Yu rest assured. It¡¯s just that Xia Yu signed a confidentiality agreement with HSBC Securities after all. The confidentiality agreement is not limited to confidentiality during the operation, and confidentiality is required after the operation, unless Xia Yu takes the initiative to announce it. But now that the people at HSBC Securities broke the news, Xia Yu has to ask Liu Tianci for an explanation. No matter how big or small the incident is, Xia Yu must show his attitude, otherwise such things may still happen in the future. It will happen, what if it causes him a big trouble once? Therefore, Liu Tianci must give an explanation, and the minimum contract spirit must be observed. Judging from Xia Yu''s impression of Liu Tianci, as long as Liu Tianci knows about it, this matter will definitely give him an answer. After all, the newspaper has revealed the news and the problem lies with them. Even if the report is not true, the problem has spread after the newspaper exposure, and it has already caused an impact. How to deal with this matter is not only about Xia Yu, a big customer, but also an attitude to make other customers feel at ease. Also let those who have not become HSBC Securities clients dispel their doubts. After all, no one would want such a thing to happen after their funds are handed over to HSBC. Therefore, now Xia Yu is not in a hurry to go to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. The one who should be anxious is HSBC Securities. After all, it is related to credit and management issues. Xia Yu wants to come, as long as HSBC Securities gets news, he will definitely Tell Liu Tianci as soon as possible. Now that there are so many reporters outside, Xia Yu caused trouble when he went out. Therefore, Xia Yu simply stayed at the company, just waiting for Liu Tianci''s call. As Xia Yu expected, Liu Tianci just arrived at the HSBC branch near the Kowloon Stock Exchange and received a report from his subordinates. After reading the news in the newspaper, he realized that the problem was a bit serious. But he also had a little hope, hoping that this matter was not revealed by his subordinates, so that he could handle it better. After a detailed investigation and inquiry, he reluctantly discovered that this incident was really revealed by his employees, but it was not the employees involved in the operation of Xia Yu''s funds. He knew very little inside information, which made him relax. In one breath. And the employees involved did not intentionally break the news, but were drunk last night and spoke out without being sober, but they didn''t want to be drunk, so they pitted their company. Seeing that his subordinates were all around, Liu Tianci could only say a pity in his heart, and then said to the panicked subordinates: "Go to the personnel department to report your resignation." "Manager, I didn''t mean it, you just give me another chance, I beg you..." The subordinate involved in the matter pleaded with a sad face, deeply hating that he was blind, made friends carelessly, and was sold by his friends. Seeing his subordinates begging, Liu Tianci sighed inwardly, but he didn''t let go. After all, so many subordinates watched. If he doesn''t deal with it strictly and kills chickens and monkeys, then things like this will happen in the future, and it will happen more The more, this is already related to the management of the department, and it is not tolerant to talk about emotions. Then, he said to the subordinates around him: "You have to take a warning. At any time, you should not make mistakes that should not be made, and your mouth should be strict, understand?" "Understood!" The other people around hurriedly straightened their waists and said. They were also very concerned. After all, the lesson was right in front of them. Although it was a pity that they also replaced the expelled colleague, they also knew that they could only blame themselves. Colleagues missed drinking, no wonder others. "Okay, you continue to work." Liu Tianci no longer looked at the dismissed subordinate, and after talking to others, he returned to his office and began to think about how to explain this to Xia Yu. After all, I have only met a few times in so many days. Liu Tianci still doesn''t know what kind of person Xia Yu is, only that he is very talented. If Xia Yu is just an ordinary rich man, he can handle such a thing. But the problem now is that Xia Yu is not an ordinary person. Xia Yu''s total amount in HSBC Securities is about to reach 7 million. In this era when workers'' wages are only 300 Hong Kong dollars, he can already be regarded as a small rich man and is definitely a big customer of HSBC. More importantly, Xia Yu is still the boss of "Jiuding Daily", the most influential newspaper in Xiangjiang. With such a powerful weapon of public opinion, Xia Yu''s destructive power is very strong. Again, Liu Tianci still doesn¡¯t know how much this incident has had on Xia Yu, so how should he apologize to Xia Yu and seek Xia Yu¡¯s forgiveness, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com also wants to satisfy Xia Yu, and he is not easy to grasp the degree of this. Moreover, this matter has spread through newspaper revelations, and other customers will definitely be worried about similar incidents. How this matter is handled also affects the attitudes of other customers. After all, if HSBC Securities can¡¯t even keep customer information confidential , Then how can they trust the money to HSBC Securities? Therefore, he has some headaches now. This emergency is indeed very difficult. If it is not handled well, it will put the HSBC Securities Kowloon branch and even the entire HSBC Securities department into crisis. If Xia Yu lashed out in the "Jiuding Daily" again, the trouble would have been great. Although in his opinion, if Xia Yu was wise, he would not have done such a thing. After all, this would offend HSBC. But this was not the capital that Liu Tianci relied on. He didn''t dare to take the risk, and he didn''t have to do it, offending Xia Yu and driving him to the opposite side. This is not good for him and HSBC Securities. So he had to deal with it to satisfy Xia Yu, so he didn''t hesitate to fire that employee in public just now. Not only did it mean to kill a man, it also meant to explain to Xia Yu. It''s just that the longer the delay, the more disadvantaged it is for him. He must now come up with a solution as soon as possible, and can''t let Xia Yu wait too long. He guessed that Xia Yu should also be waiting for his reply. "It''s difficult!" Liu Tianci thought, rubbing his temples. ps: Give me a fever on a hot day. I¡¯m in the office and can¡¯t blow air. I¡¯m so bored. I keep drinking hot water. My lungs are running out. My lungs are coughing up. My brain freezes. I don¡¯t know. Is there any mistake in the chapter, I can¡¯t analyze it, I¡¯m helpless ¨r(¨s£ß¨t)¨q Chapter 39: trivia After thinking for a while, Liu Tianci picked up the phone and called the general manager''s office of HSBC Securities. "General Manager, I am Liu Tianci. Now I have a problem here. I want to report to you. The situation is like this... My solution is... OK, I see. Goodbye, manager!" After hanging up the phone, Liu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief. The general manager agreed with the solution he gave, so his pressure was much less. He believed that the solution he gave should satisfy Xia Yu. Then, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number. ¡­¡­ In the office of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Xia Yu heard the phone ring before long, and he answered the call: "Hey, this is Jiuding Newspaper Company, may I ask you?" "Oh? It''s Manager Liu, good morning..." Hearing Liu Tianci''s voice, Xia Yu''s mouth curled up with a smile. As he expected, Liu Tianci quickly called to communicate with him. ¡­¡­ "Okay, I have time tonight. This is the Kowloon Hotel, right? I must be there, ok, that¡¯s it, bye..." After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu sat on the chair and began to think slightly. Just now Liu Tianci had already explained the reason to him on the phone, and did not evade responsibility. He directly admitted that his subordinates accidentally said it out when he was drunk, and asked for his forgiveness. At the same time, he invited him to the Kowloon Hotel for dinner. It is estimated that it was because the conversation on the phone was not formal, so I planned to communicate with him face-to-face and make specific compensation measures. That¡¯s good, since Liu Tianci¡¯s attitude has arrived, Xia Yu will let go first, and then see what compensation measures Liu Tianci will come up with. After all, he has made a mistake and violated the agreement. Xia Yu is not muddled. Yes, Liu Tianci has to come up with something. Actually, Xia Yu did not expect Liu Tianci to make any compensation on behalf of HSBC. After all, HSBC''s position in Xiangjiang is too special, but since there is compensation, Xia Yu shouldn''t do it for nothing. Originally, Xia Yu planned to go back to dinner tonight, but Liu Tianci asked him if he would have time tonight. Xia Yu thought about it and went to dinner with him. After all, he hadn¡¯t succeeded in meeting Liu Tianci before, so he took advantage of this opportunity. A set of friendships, and because of today''s unexpected incident, Liu Tianci was wronged and asked for him, so the effect of the set of friendships will be even greater. "Since there is no way to go out, I''ll deal with the company''s affairs first. I''ll talk about this tonight." Xia Yu thought, and then began to deal with the company''s affairs. After a long time, Xia Yu stretched out, rubbed his temples, looked at the pile of documents and manuscripts on the desktop, he was a little helpless. These are almost all trivial things. They need to be reviewed and signed. It is not a big deal, but because he is the boss and there is no other senior management, he has to handle everything himself, but these things are a waste of his time. This is not worthwhile for him. After all, with this time, he can completely copy novels or go to the stock market to earn greater profits, but now he is entangled in such chores. If this happens in the future, where does he have time to do other things? The development policy of "Jiuding Daily" for a period of time in the near future is to stabilize the results and lay a solid foundation. This kind of thing does not necessarily require Xia Yu to do it himself. "It seems that I must hire a deputy to help me deal with things right away, and I will work in other industries in the future. I just start training now, and then formally take over Jiuding Newspaper Company." Xia Yu pondered for a while and made up his mind. At this moment, Huang Wenshan, the head of the Advertising Department, knocked on the door and walked in, his face was full of excitement, even walking a little. "Boss, you are so wise, those companies are just as crazy." Huang Wenshan flushed excitedly. Hearing what Huang Wenshan said, Xia Yu came to be interested, and said with a smile: "I will listen to what the situation is." "Okay, boss." "According to the method you said, I invited them together, and asked an industry to publish only one company''s advertisement in the same issue of the newspaper, and then set a minimum price, and they bid for the advertising space. Those companies are like crazy. Rush, the final transaction price is a bit higher, and almost all companies have signed the one-month limit we set, the transaction amount has reached 1.02 million, and the contract has been signed." Huang Wenshan said happily, saying In the process of fighting, the smile on his face became even brighter. There is another situation that Huang Wenshan did not say, that is, when he knew that the advertisement was signed every January and not more than one month, other companies were surprised by the operation of "Jiuding Daily". After all, no one reported to the society. Advertisers have signed contracts for a long time, and only the "Jiuding Daily" has introduced such restrictions. But this restriction made them feel the self-confidence of "Jiuding Daily", so many companies that bid for high-priced advertising space are relieved. Xia Yu was very happy when he heard that the advertising space was sold for 1.02 million. This was 120,000 more than he expected. It seems that these businessmen did not expect Xia Yu to use this insidious method of exclusion in the industry. Forcing them to raise prices and grab them. After all, after so many days, "Jiuding Daily" is not like an epiphany, so they have increased their confidence, wanting to win the advertising space of the newspaper with the highest sales in Xiangjiang, and better enhance the company''s brand. effect. Therefore, although "Jiuding Daily" did not expect to use this insidious method to raise prices, but for the purpose of their respective companies, they had to pinch their noses to recognize, who is now the seller''s market? This kind of method can also be used by "Jiuding Daily", after all, the sales volume is too high, full of confidence! It is estimated that after this news is released, it will definitely make other newspapers envy and hate. In the same way, other companies with advertising needs will be recognized by Jiuding Daily. Next, as long as you manage it well, let the authority of Jiuding Daily continue to improve, and to keep the gap with other newspapers, the price of advertising space will be higher then. "Huang Wenshan, go call Zhao Cheng in." Xia Yu said to Huang Wenshan. "Good boss." After finishing speaking, Huang Wenshan hurriedly went out to call Zhao Cheng, and after a while, the two walked in again. Looking at Zhao Cheng¡¯s somewhat puzzled eyes, Xia Yu said: ¡°The advertising department has already sold all the advertising spaces. The turnover in the first month was 1.02 million. Later you will ask Huang Wenshan about the specific process and results. Write it for me and publish it in tomorrow¡¯s newspaper." "Also, if other companies come over with specific advertising content at that time, you should pay attention to the layout after reviewing, so that there is no mistake." "Good boss!" Zhao Cheng nodded quickly, his eyes full of shock and excitement. Unexpectedly, the advertising department sold a sky-high price of 1.02 million in one month''s advertising expenses. Doesn''t it mean that the advertising expenses alone will make a thousand in a year How many? Thinking of this, he couldn''t help swallowing. He can also think of what will happen when this price bursts out. After all, this price is a price that has never appeared in the entire Xiangjiang Newspaper industry. Their "Jiuding Daily" has made history again. A sense of glory wandered through his heart, his waist straightened unconsciously. "By the way, you send another recruitment message, hiring a vice president to be my deputy. It requires a certain amount of experience, and all have to prepare a resume first, and then inform the interview at that time." Zhao Cheng''s shock was directly interrupted. Xia Yu said again. When they heard Xia Yu''s words, Zhao Cheng and Huang Wenshan were shocked. The boss wanted to hire people, and he was the vice president. Isn''t that their immediate boss? The news had to be taken seriously. They never thought about this position. After all, it turns out that they do not have this ability. They were at a loss for the "Hong Kong Island Daily" that sold 3,000 copies a day. What about the "Jiuding Daily" that sells 250,000 copies? Even if Xia Yu let them go up, they were worried about messing up. Just thinking that someone can climb to the sky in one step, they envy them in their hearts, not knowing who will become the lucky person in the end. "Good boss I took it down." Zhao Cheng said quickly. "Well, that''s it, do you have anything else?" Xia Yu said to him. "No more." "Boss, let''s go out first." nodded to the two of them, Xia Yu stopped talking, and after they went out, he started to think again. Although Xia Yu previously planned to keep the "Jiuding Daily" low-key recently and at the same time settle it down, the plan has not changed fast. Who knows that today the news that he made millions in the stock market came out so well that he was destined to be low-key. Plan to go bankrupt early. It is conceivable that in the future, his stock market will definitely be a hot topic. If other newspapers take the opportunity to hype or attack him or maliciously hack him, the heat will last longer. "Forget it, since it has exploded, it is not without benefits. It can just cause the sales of "Jiuding Daily" to rise again, but for me, it will cause trouble." "I was just caught off guard. It is not time for me to set up a securities company. If I set up a securities company and need to absorb funds, this news will definitely help me a lot and let me raise money better. Funding can only be said that the timing is wrong, which is a pity." "Then I will try my best to keep a low profile during this time, and I won''t admit it. As for what others think, it is other people''s business." "It just so happens that I also arranged to publish the advertising income tomorrow, and then push the company, so as to spread the hot spots. Anyway, make up my mind, be a low-key person, and do things high-profile." "I just hope that I won''t be targeted. Wealth has already been revealed, and we must have the strength to keep our wealth." "It seems that personal safety is imminent!" Xia Yu thought solemnly. Chapter 40: Chance encounter This is how the morning passed, and Xia Yu didn''t go back at noon. He directly called for a takeaway, and after eating at the office, he continued to get busy racing against time. At noon, thinking of another meal appointment in the evening, Xia Yu wanted to tell his parents that he would not go home for dinner at night, and the provincial parents would wait. Unfortunately, there was no car to go back, and it was very troublesome for him to go back, and there was no phone installed at home, so he had no choice but to give up informing his parents. I thought of telling my parents that I was working in a newspaper, and I was going back late one day. My parents should be a little bit at heart, so he didn''t bother to inform his parents, he just wanted to come back early tonight. While reporters outside saw that Xia Yu had not come out, many people had already withdrawn, and there were not many reporters nearby. Of course, there are so many reporters squatting outside the company, and even some reporters simply came to the company to inquire, wanting to interview the boss of Xia Yu. It was so obvious that the employees in the company also exchanged news, and finally they all knew the report. Many people All were shocked by this news. Even the ministers of all major departments who knew that Xia Yu would trade in stocks all remembered Xia Yu¡¯s previous vague promise. Although they were a little itchy in their hearts, none of them dared to take the initiative to raise this matter with Xia Yu. Can pray for the boss not to forget them. Xia Yu felt that the company¡¯s feelings were somewhat floating, but he took a look at it and let it go. As long as the company''s work is running normally, this kind of thing will always go down with the passage of time, even if there are more waves, he will It can be resolved at that time. After four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu planned to go out. He needs to buy clothes. After all, he has to have dinner with Liu Tianci tonight. He must dress more formally. This is the most basic respect for Liu Tianci. Etiquette is not a problem. contempt. went out and took a taxi, Xia Yu headed for the Kowloon Commercial City, where there are many high-end suit shops, enough for Xia Yu to find satisfactory clothes. Walking around, one hour passed without knowing it. In addition to buying a few suits, Xia Yu also bought a watch for several hundred yuan by the way. It''s not that he can''t afford Rolex and other famous watches, but that there is no need. Although he is not short of this money, it is not time to spend this kind of money. Moreover, in this era when the monthly wages of workers were only 300 or 400 yuan, it was a lot to spend a few hundred yuan. In addition, there are many old watch shops in Xiangjiang, and you can buy a watch of very good quality for a few dozen yuan. How about a hundred dollars? Next, Xia Yu carried a large bag of clothes out of the Kowloon Commercial City, ready to take a taxi back to the company, but unfortunately waited five or six minutes and did not see a taxi to stop. In the end, the taxi that I finally got was an older car, which made him particularly uncomfortable. Sitting in the car, smelling the choking second-hand smoke, Xia Yu frowned, and his mood became bad. He thought to himself: "It seems that I must buy a car quickly, otherwise it is really inconvenient. It¡¯s also so big. It¡¯s always a bad idea to not have a high-end car to decorate the facade. I will go and buy the car two days later tomorrow." After making up his mind, Xia Yu rolled down all the windows, trying to let the wind outside dilute the unpleasant smoke inside the car. Due to too many cars in front of him, Xia Yu''s car could only move slowly. Just when passing by a welfare institution, a clear and sweet voice of children came from outside the window. Xia Yu couldn''t help looking at it, and was stunned. I saw a group of children surrounded by white shadows. The children''s faces showed innocent smiles. This innocent smile made Xia Yu also infected and smiled unknowingly. At this time, Xia Yu couldn''t help but wonder who made the children laugh so happy. He focused his gaze on the white shadow in the middle of the child, and saw that she was wearing a white coat, still unable to conceal her delicate and slender figure, her thick jet-black shawl hair, like a black waterfall hanging in the air. Very eye-catching. What touches Xia Yu the most is that the girl''s body exudes a clear and refined temperament. "She must be a beautiful girl, but unfortunately you can only see the back." A thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind. It seems that after hearing Xia Yu''s heartfelt voice, the girl in white clothes suddenly turned around, she was indeed beautiful. The skin wins snow, and the eyes are like a puddle of clear water. When looking forward to it, he has a refined and elegant temperament, which makes people photographed, embarrassed, and afraid to profanity. She is like a lotus flower, slim, and can only be appreciated from a distance. At this moment, the beautiful girl seemed to feel something in her heart, she lifted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes looked at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu''s eyes touched together. She looked like a frightened kitten, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Xia Yu, a faint pink rose on her fair face, a little shy in the bright. is the gentleness that bows the head most, like a water lotus flower that is too shy to overcome the cool breeze. It''s a pity that what is beautiful is always short-lived. Xia Yu wanted to take a closer look, but never thought that the girl in white and the children waved goodbye, and then got into a black car. At this time, Xia Yu noticed that there were two bodyguards with firm faces near the girl in white clothes, and it happened to drive the girl to the door. Then, the black car started, but the window with the back seat opened. The girl in white slightly probed, stretched out her white jade-like hands, and waved goodbye to the innocent and cute children. Then, the car moved slowly, and the window slowly rolled up. The girl in white turned her head slightly, Xia Yu felt that she seemed to look at her side again. I don''t know why, Xia Yu suddenly had a strong impulse, and his mind was like a twitch. Without hesitation, he directly asked the driver to stop the car, opened the door and ran over there. It''s a pity that Xia Yu only saw the black car shadow, but didn''t see the license plate clearly. A sense of loss suddenly echoed in his heart. He clenched his fist unknowingly, and he couldn''t recognize it and let out a light sigh. Xia Yu was a little unwilling. He suddenly saw the children who were smiling and preparing to go back. He moved in his heart and walked over with a smile and asked, "My child, what is the name of that sister just now?" "Big brother, do you have anything to do with Sister Ruofu?" A little fat guy blinked his eyes and asked with some caution. "Little Fatty, you are so stupid. You said all the names of Sister Lin. What if he is a bad person?" At this moment, an older girl hurriedly covered Xiao Pangdun¡¯s mouth and said, before raising At the beginning, he looked at Xia Yu with some caution. Seeing the little girl talking to Xiao Pangdun, Xia Yu smiled openly. He was really a child. Although he was a little wary, he unconsciously said the answer Xia Yu wanted. "That elder sister is very similar to one of my classmates. I didn''t expect it to be Lin Ruofu. I haven''t seen her for a long time." Xia Yu smiled and said sincerely, as if she were really classmates with the white-clothed girl Lin Ruofu. Will he feel guilty for deceiving a simple child? He said that it is good to be used to it. When he was in the village in the previous life, did he feel guilty? "Oh oh, so you are a classmate of Sister Lin, big brother, are you going to chase Sister Lin as a girl?" At this moment, a little boy with glasses who had not spoken said suddenly. Hearing this, Xia Yu''s smile faltered. Nowadays, all the children are learning, even when they are in the first or second grade of elementary school, they all know about chasing girlfriends. "No, because it''s been a long time, so I want to come to say hello." Xia Yu squatted down and explained with a smile. If he admits, then these children will leave a bad impression when they say it in front of the girl in white. "Brother, let me tell you that Sister Ruofu is very nice, she often comes to play with us, buy clothes, tell us stories, and buy us a lot of delicious food!" Xiao Pangdun interrupted. Said that he couldn''t help licking his mouth in the end, as if thinking of something delicious. "Then she is really good to you." Xia Yu touched Xiao Pangdun''s head and said with a smile. "Yes, yes!" ¡­¡­ The other children all said in a rush, as if Xia Yu''s words were in their hearts. "The dean''s grandma called us, brother, let''s go first." At this moment, the little girl said to Xia Yu, and then waved with Xia Yu towards the orphanage without waiting for Xia Yu''s answer. "Goodbye!" Xia Yu smiled and said goodbye to them, looking at the door of the orphanage. An old lady with a simple dress and a kind-faced face was waving to the children. She also watched Xia Yu specially for a while, and Xia Yu responded. Smile and nod. When he returned to the car, Xia Yu''s eyes were a little blurred, his lips moved slightly, and he spoke softly: "Its shape is also like a frightening, graceful like a dragon. Rong Yao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong. It seems like a light cloud. It covers the moon, and it flutters as if the wind is returning to snow. Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising up; when observing it by force, it is like a fugitive from Lubo." After reading, Xia Yu had some aftertaste, suddenly smiled, and muttered: "Lin Ruofu, as expected, as pure and elegant as a lotus flower, I don''t know what kind of wealthy family can cultivate a girl with such a temperament... ¡­" "I just didn''t think I would be tempted, and I would make such a reckless move, I shouldn''t..." Thinking of what he did just now, Xia Yu was a little puzzled. Although he had not had a girlfriend in his previous life, he also lived to be 28 years old. He is considered to be someone who has met the world And he has the memories of so many elites in his mind, even though there is no such elite life. The trivial memories in the middle school, but the memories of work and communication alone are already very huge, and all kinds of women have seen it. It can be said that Xia Yu''s temperament is absolutely not bad, and it is not easily affected. And after Xia Yu was reborn, he also made up his mind. Anyway, he was only 16 years old. He was young and didn''t need to worry about emotional matters, so he put all his mind on his career. I never thought that but now I was touched by a girl who had never met. Is this the legendary love at first sight? Thinking of the day when he had a nymphomaniac, Xia Yu shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "I''ll talk about it later, maybe I will forget it in a few days..." PS: Do you think the heroine will come out soon? I''m not sure if it''s... ps: A few years ago when I was writing for fun, I wanted to write such a female character. I don¡¯t know why after reading Dai Wangshu¡¯s "Rain Alley", there is such a shadow in my mind. Although "Rain Alley" is a symbol of lyricism, It is not about a woman. There should be a shadow in everyone''s heart. It is not who, but a collection of beautiful and longing. She should exist in the painting, but we all look forward to the moment she emerges from the painting. Haha, my science student suddenly forced a literary youth, a bit embarrassing... ps: In fact, don¡¯t think this chapter is outrageous. I have never believed in love at first sight or amazing things in an instant. Until I looked back two years ago, I didn¡¯t know that this kind of thing really exists. I¡¯m waiting for someone, so I decided to turn my mind away...Ah, haha, I¡¯m so ashamed. PS: I am very positive today, two chapters with more than 6,000 words, please recommend it! Chapter 41: Express After returning to the company, I continued to deal with affairs until I got off work. Seeing that the time was late, it was estimated that Liu Tianci should have been waiting at the Kowloon Hotel. Xia Yu changed his clothes, sorted out and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and closed the store. , Take a taxi to the Kowloon Hotel. It didn''t take long before he came to the door of the hotel. Xia Yu came to the front desk and asked: "Miss, has a gentleman named Liu Tianci come?" The lady at the front desk smiled slightly and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I''ll check it for you." "Sir, Mr. Liu is here. In Box 204, I will ask the staff to take you there." "Okay thank you!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked him, and followed the other waitress towards the box. As soon as he opened the door, Xia Yu saw Liu Tianci who was sitting. He speeded up slightly, stretched out his hand with a smile, and said, "Liu Sheng, good evening!" Liu Tianci stood up at the moment he saw Xia Yu, smiled and stretched out his hand and walked over, shook hands with Xia Yu, and shook heavily: "Xia Sheng, good evening! Thank you for showing your face!" "Haha, I''m showing you love, it should be me thanking you for your banquet, it cost you money!" Xia Yu quickly smiled and said politely. "Haha, Xia Sheng, you are too good at talking. Come on, please sit down! Please sit down!" Liu Tianci said with a smile, then pulled out the stool and signaled Xia Yu to sit down. After Xia Yu sat down, he returned to his position. on. At this time, the waitress who led Xia Yu in quickly came forward to make tea. "Sir, please take your time!" "This is the menu, please take a look at what dishes you need." While talking, the waitress respectfully dragged the menu, looking at Liu Tianci and Xia Yu. After seeing Liu Tianci signal to Xia Yu, she So he put the menu in front of Xia Yu. "Thank you!" "Liu Sheng, then I''ll order it first!" Xia Yu did not refuse. After taking the menu, he took a look at it and passed the menu to Liu Tianci after ordering two dishes. Liu Tianci smiled, and then ordered a few more dishes. "Xia Sheng, what wine do you drink?" After ordering, although I felt that Xia Yu should not drink, Liu Tianci asked politely. "Thank you, I won''t drink any more, please give me juice." Xia Yu said politely. Liu Tianci said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I happened to be driving here and I can''t drink, then I will have juice too!" After finishing speaking, Liu Tianci once again checked the menu. Seeing what Liu Tianci said so natural, Xia Yu had a better impression of him. Not only was he strong, but he was so comfortable to speak, and he was indeed a candidate for the general manager of HSBC Asia. Human figures. After waiting for the waitress to go out, Xia Yu chatted with Liu Tianci, and it didn''t take long for the dishes to come up one after another. Li Tianci poured a glass of juice to respect Xia Yu, and said apologetically, "Xia Sheng, thank you for your face, I will do it first!" After speaking, Liu Tianci took a sip. Although he drank juice, Xia Yu didn''t feel anything wrong with the atmosphere. He also raised the cup to show respect, and then drank it in one gulp. Then, Liu Tianci filled Xia Yu again, and then said apologetically: "Xia Sheng, my subordinate caused trouble to you. I''m really sorry. I have fired him. HSBC does not need to disrespect customer privacy. Staff, please rest assured that similar things will not happen again in the future." "Liu Sheng, this is too serious, it''s actually unnecessary." Hearing Liu Tianci''s words, Xia Yu knew in his heart that he did express enough attention and directly resigned the employee. Xia Yu was very satisfied with this attitude. , But Xia Yu still showed an expression that you paid too much attention to. Whenever you play, you still have to make a gesture. "Xia Sheng, you are serious. This is related to the management of our department. It must be dealt with seriously to avoid future troubles." Liu Tianci said with a serious face, as if it was not because of Xia Yu''s cause that Xia Yu Don''t have a psychological burden on Yu. "Since it is related to HSBC''s internal management issues, I can''t speak much as an outsider, haha!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "No, no, as our major customer, you can raise any comments. If you find any problems, please help us to wake up in time, and we will make improvements in time." Liu Tianci solemnly said to Xia Yu. "sure¡­¡­" "By the way, Xia Sheng, because of the loopholes in our management, it has caused a great impact on you. I also asked our general manager for instructions. To apologize, we do not charge any fees for your operations at HSBC Securities during this period. , We will refund you the fees collected before. Please don¡¯t dislike it.¡± Suddenly, Liu Tianci said again, looking at Xia Yu with sincerity. Xia Yu''s heart moved, but he didn''t expect Liu Tianci to compensate so much. You must know that after so long of operation, Xia Yu''s funds have reached nearly 7 million. The leverage and labor costs required for this operation are not a small amount. UU Kanshu has reached hundreds of thousands. It was easily given up by Liu Tian, ??which is equivalent to HSBC Securities giving Xia Yu a waste of time. Good fellow, is the compensation given a bit too big? It really went beyond Xia Yu''s expectation. Xia Yu was a little confused. He wanted to see what medicine Liu Tianci sold in the gourd before deciding whether to eat this cake. Xia Yu said with some embarrassment: "Liu Sheng, your hand is a bit big, it''s too much..." "No, Xia Sheng, listen to me!" Liu Tianci saw that Xia Yu was about to refuse, so he hurriedly said, not letting Xia Yu continue. "This is nothing. I believe that the future of Xia Sheng is limitless. I only hope that in the future we can continue to cooperate with Xia Sheng and make progress together. After all, I can harvest Xia Sheng''s friendship or I can earn it." "That''s it! It turns out to be the future. It seems that not only I want to have a relationship with him, but he also wants to have a relationship with me. If this is the case, there is no need to postpone it." Xia Yu knew it in his heart, and since Liu Tianci also wanted to have a relationship. He has a relationship, so I will be able to return tonight with satisfaction. "Thanks for your respect, since that''s the case, I''m brazen, and happy to cooperate! Liu Sheng, I toast you a cup!" Xia Yu said and held up the cup, touched Liu Tianci, and finished it in one mouthful. "Come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, the vegetables will not taste good when they are cold..." "Come, Xia Sheng, taste this great journey, but here is a unique..." "Okay, thank you, I''ll do it myself..." ¡­¡­ For a time, I pushed the cup to change, the laughter continued, and the scene was harmonious. PS: Over one chapter, the number of words is a bit short. If the next plot is added, in order to maintain the smoothness of the story, the number of words in one chapter will reach more than 4,000, so we can only divide it here. I''m really sorry, and please forgive me! Chapter 42: Discuss After drinking and eating, the waiter took away all the leftovers and added tea to Xia Yu and Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci took a sip of tea, and then asked after a sigh of relief, "Xia Sheng, what do you think about the current Xiangjiang stock market?" Hearing Liu Tianci¡¯s question, Xia Yu''s face turned straight, he was not in a hurry to answer, he had to sort out his thoughts and see where he should go. Although it seems to be chatting now, it is actually a process of observing and understanding each other. The questions raised by Liu Tianci are very common, and Xia Yu can answer easily, but this answer wants to bring out the level and calm Liu Tianci, then Have to think about it. A dragon does not live with a snake, and it depends on the value of a person to become a superficial friend with others or a close friend. If you do not have the value and ability recognized by others, the relationship will not last long after all. Therefore, Xia Yu must show enough ability to further convince Liu Tianci, let Liu Tianci recognize Xia Yu from the heart, and be willing to have a deep friendship with Xia Yu. If you think about it this way, Liu Tianci''s question will have to be answered with new ideas. Xia Yu''s thinking turned at a high speed, and it didn''t take long for him to think about it. When his eyes lit up, he put down the tea cup in his hand. Liu Tianci, who was waiting quietly and observing Xia Yu, saw Xia Yu¡¯s expressions and movements. He knew that Xia Yu should have an answer. He immediately corrected his attitude, concentrated, bowed slightly, and made a listening gesture. appearance. For Xia Yu, Liu Tianci has actually paid much attention to it, otherwise he would not make such a big compensation, and he would subscribe to every issue of "Jiuding Daily". Among them, Xia Yu wrote financial analysis articles. Must read, from which he can deeply feel Xia Yu''s keen thinking and strong logical ability, and his sense of smell in the financial industry is much better than anyone he has ever met, not to mention Xia Yu''s literary talents also make him admire . Moreover, every time Xia Yu operated, he knew, and he observed many things from it, and experienced some of Xia Yu''s powerful abilities. He didn¡¯t know how Xia Yu was so young, he had never studied at university, how he learned such professional knowledge, or how his abilities were developed, but he is not a curious person, and he didn¡¯t want to go and explore. These are irrelevant things that will only disgust Xia Yu. He also encountered many things and knew that there were geniuses in this world, so for Xia Yu being so outstanding, he simply blamed his talent. Moreover, he didn¡¯t know much about Xia Yu during the short period of time he met. Many things were based on the analysis on paper, which was not very accurate. At this time, he had the opportunity to communicate with Xia Yu face to face. Of course he wanted more To learn more about Xia Yu, I also have a bottom in my heart. This is the key to his future attitude towards Xia Yu, how much attention he has to pay. This level must be better understood by knowing enough. At this time, Xia Yu finally spoke. He cleared his throat and solemnly said: ¡°I think that the future of Xiangjiang¡¯s stock market is unlimited. It is vital to the positioning and development of Xiangjiang as a whole, and can even help Xiangjiang become an Asia-Pacific region. The financial center of China is as important as Wall Street to the United States and London to Europe. It can even help Xiangjiang become a global financial center." Liu Tianci was startled when he heard Xia Yu''s words, his face became solemn, and he looked at Xia Yu tightly for fear of missing a word. He did not expect that Xia Yu would say such words and raise Xiangjiang¡¯s stock market to such a high level. This was something he had never thought of. It was completely beyond his expectation. He suddenly had a hunch that tonight is absolutely There will be an unprecedented big gain. Seeing Liu Tianci''s changes, Xia Yu was certain in his heart. As he expected, this view could definitely calm him. Now that he spoke, Liu Tianci couldn''t sit still. In fact, as long as people who are engaged in the financial industry in later generations know that Xiangjiang has long been an extremely important financial center in the world, I don¡¯t know how many experts, scholars or financial experts have analyzed and interpreted the development of Xiangjiang as a financial center. , You can watch it for dozens of days and never finish it. For Xia Yu, who has so many memories of financial giants in his mind, many of the information about Xiangjiang can be easily obtained. Even if he has not understood, some of the reasons can be analyzed from the perspective of later generations, not to mention that these can Become a financial giant Which company managed by the world¡¯s major financial centers does not have branches? How can you not know the situation in Xiangjiang? Next, Xia Yu continued: "Actually, there are very basic conditions for Xiangjiang to become a financial center. I mainly summarized the following four important points." "The first is the location advantage. The first is the global location advantage. Xiangjiang, London and New York are three points of the world, and they are connected in time zone. New York leaves work, Xiangjiang starts work, Xiangjiang leaves work, and London starts work. The three cities can make global financial Maintain 24-hour operation; second is the location advantage of Asia. Xiangjiang is located in the center of East Asia, and the flight time from Xiangjiang to most cities in East Asia is less than 4 hours. There is also a national location advantage. Backed by a mainland with a population of more than one billion, it has Huge market potential. Although the mainland is not rich now, no country will remain poor without knowing that it will change. Moreover, the situation has changed. By then, Xiangjiang will be the most suitable window to the outside world, and the huge trade volume will definitely be It will promote the economic take-off of Xiangjiang." "The second is the advantage of the system. UU Reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com Hong Kong has a relatively complete legal system. As for the stock market, the Hong Kong government banned the re-emerging of stock exchanges a few years ago. The merger of major exchanges is also the general trend, so there will definitely be a systematic, rigorous, efficient and internationally-compliant financial and economic supervision mechanism in the future, a flexible and efficient currency control system, and a commercial banking system and securities capable of adequate, reasonable and fair competition. Company system. Moreover, the definition, registration, registration and transaction of land, shares, stocks, bonds and derivatives of Heungkong are fully guaranteed by law. The transaction cost of Heungkong''s financial market is very low, and the financial transaction volume in these years has been increasing year by year. That¡¯s the proof." "The third is a stable political and economic environment. The sources and uses of funds in the Hong Kong capital market are not limited to Hong Kong. This is based on a stable political situation. There are a lot of hot money in Southeast Asia, especially overseas Chinese funds, both long-term and short-term. Because of this. The local political situation is unstable. Find a way. Xiangjiang''s political situation is much more stable than neighboring Indonesia, non-lawyers, Thailand, and Malaysia, so it is possible to use Xiangjiang to finance international funds." "Fourth, Hong Kong¡¯s economy has been booming since 70 years. The real estate, industry, commerce, catering, commerce, etc. have all grown at an amazing rate, and they have also attracted a lot of foreign investment. These require the services of corresponding financial institutions. It is linked to the pound sterling, which ensures the strong exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar." "So, from the above perspectives, Xiangjiang''s financial industry will definitely flourish, and Xiangjiang also has various favorable conditions for becoming a financial center. In the long run, Xiangjiang''s stock market will get better and better!" After ¡¡¡¡ finished speaking, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said nothing. Looking at Liu Tianci''s shocked expression, you can see that these dry goods have been thrown out to shock him. Chapter 43: Look high Just as Xia Yu saw, Liu Tianci was indeed stunned by Xia Yu''s views. He did not expect Xia Yu to be so optimistic about the Hong Kong stock market and even the financial industry, which was completely beyond his imagination. But he carefully studied Xia Yu''s point of view, only to find that what Xia Yu was talking about was the actual situation now, or the predicted situation that is very likely to be realized. As far as he knows, the Hong Kong government does intend to integrate the four major stock exchanges, but the news has not spread, and it is only an intention. The news was because he accidentally learned from HSBC''s senior management. HSBC intends to encourage the Hong Kong government to promote the construction of the Hong Kong financial industry. One of them is to integrate the four major exchanges, but this is just a verbal intention, and outsiders simply don¡¯t know. . So Xia Yu can''t know, but Xia Yu can analyze it now, and he is sure that the four major exchanges will merge in the future. This thinking ability and overall view are very rare. Liu Tianci does not know if anyone in Xiangjiang can See it, but he knows he can''t analyze it. Although Xia Yu said so many points, Liu Tianci had more doubts in his mind. The full of curiosity prompted him to solve those doubts, so he immediately asked: "Xia Sheng, you say..." ¡­¡­ Next, Liu Tianci kept asking, and Xia Yu answered one by one. Every answer made Liu Tianci satisfied. Gradually, Liu Tianci''s eyes on Xia Yu kept changing. He found that no matter what question was asked, Xia Yu was able to answer, and the angle of analysis of the question was very good, and the analysis was very thorough, and Xia Yu''s knowledge was also very broad, he didn''t know what Xia Yu did not got it. It is hard to imagine how Xia Yu, a 16-year-old boy, studied! If you are self-study or rely on your own thinking, then the learning ability is too strong! As long as this kind of person does not die unexpectedly, Liu Tianci believes that Xia Yu can stand at the top of Xiangjiang 200%! The current Xia Yu is in the early stage of his fortune. It is a proper potential stock, and it is also a super potential stock full of gold. If this kind of character is not good, then who else has the qualification? Because of this idea, Liu Tianci became more and more enthusiastic about Xia Yu, and Xia Yu also felt this change. For a time, the two talked more and more, and they felt like they had met late. When people put their energy into things, they always feel that time flies quickly, and it''s nine o''clock in the evening unknowingly. Xia Yu looked at his watch. Liu Tianci noticed this movement. He looked at his watch and realized that it was already so late. He smiled apologetically: "Xia Sheng, this time passed all at once, it''s so late. Sorry!" "Haha, I had the honor to communicate with Liu Sheng, but it''s a pity that time flies too fast." Xia Yu said regretfully. ¡­¡­ Then, after a few words of greeting, the two got up and walked outside one after another. Xia Yu just wanted to take a taxi, but he never wanted to be asked by Liu Tianci, so he admitted that he hadn''t bought a car yet, and he came by taxi. Liu Tianci bluntly said that he wanted Xia Yu to go back in his car, but he couldn''t get rid of it, and it was really hard to get a taxi at this late hour. , Xia Yu was not polite, got in Liu Tianci''s car, told him the approximate location of his home, and the car drove in the direction of home. After driving for a while, Liu Tianci said jokingly: "Xia Sheng, with such a big business, I have to buy a car quickly. Otherwise, it is a bit inconvenient. You waste a minute and you waste tens of thousands of dollars." Hearing Liu Tianci¡¯s words, Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help laughing. He was not upset by Liu Tianci¡¯s words, but rather happy. After all, he would say that this sensitive topic also means that Liu Tianci¡¯s relationship with him is relatively close. People who are unfamiliar will not say such embarrassing things, and it is easy for people to misunderstand that the other person is laughing. ¡°It¡¯s really inconvenient to not have a car. I just made up my mind to buy a car a few days ago. I just didn¡¯t have time to spare. I plan to buy it in these two days. I just don¡¯t know where the car is better, and there is another problem. I haven''t got my driver''s license yet, and I can''t drive a car after I bought it. It is indeed a trouble." Xia Yu said helplessly. "That''s it!" Liu Tianci said suddenly. "By the way, Xia Sheng, you didn''t get a driver''s license, but have you driven a car before?" Liu Tianci asked suddenly. Xia Yu didn¡¯t know why Liu Tianci asked this, but he still said, ¡°I learned from a relative before, and I can drive, and even helped him drive.¡± This is of course false, but Xia Yu would already drive. Now Liu Tianci asked, just to find a reason to prevaricate. At the same time, he did not believe that Liu Tianci would ask this question for no reason. He should have some thoughts, so Xia Yu followed his words and answered. "Xia Sheng, since you already know how to drive, it''s easier. I know a friend who is the general manager of a large car dealership. He sells various styles of vehicles. He has almost all the cars on the market. You should be able to choose a satisfactory car, and his family also has a relationship. He can help others to apply for a driver''s license. I don''t know if you need it?" Liu Tianci said with a smile. Hearing Liu Tianci¡¯s words, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes lit up. This can solve all his problems, solve a lot of trouble for him, and save time. How could he not need it! "Then dare to love, Liu Sheng, which car dealer is it?" Xia Yu asked next. "Longchang Motors, on the Bonham Road on Hong Kong Island, Xia Sheng, when you have time, let me go with you." Liu Tianci said to Xia Yu. "Don''t be so troublesome. You are busy with your affairs. If you can accompany me on such trivial matters, that would be too sad." Xia Yu quickly refused, letting Liu Tianci, the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, lose it. Going to work with him to buy a car, he thinks he doesn''t have such a big face, if he agrees, Liu Tianci will definitely do it, but it seems that Xia Yu is ignorant. And he could understand, this should be Liu Tianci''s polite words. "Well, I''ll go back and call my friend. When you go to buy a car, you can just ask him directly. His name is Wang Rong, the general manager of Longchang Motors." Liu Tianci nodded and said. "Okay, remember, thank you!" Xia Yu nodded to indicate that he remembered. "Haha, you are polite, they are all friends..." "Hahaha..." ¡­¡­ Not long after, under Xia Yu''s guidance, the car drove to Xia Yu''s door. "Liu Sheng, please take a trip, I will go home first, and I will have the opportunity to sit more later." Xia Yu said to Liu Tianci after getting off the car. "Xia Sheng, talking with you tonight, I have learned a lot, and I have more time to sit there in the future, I still have many questions to ask you!" Liu Tianci said with emotion. "Haha, make progress with each other! Be safe when driving at night!" "Okay, bye!" After seeing Liu Tianci''s car driving back, Xia Yu walked towards the yard. At this time, his parents had already walked out. They should have heard the sound of the car''s engine and came out to take a look. At this time, Liu Tianci, who was driving, thought of the humble house he saw just now, and couldn''t help feeling a little bit: "I didn''t expect Xia Sheng''s house to be so humble, but the poor house had a wicked character like Xia Sheng, probably because of the smoke from Xia''s grave. Up!" While driving, Liu Tianci couldn''t help but remembered the chat with Xia Yu just now, his face showed admiration. Chapter 44: Sleepless night Not to mention Liu Tianci¡¯s emotions, but said that after Xia Yu entered the house, he checked the time and found that it was already past nine thirty, but the clothes and appearance of his parents did not look like they had just slept. He remembered that at this point in time, the parents were already I fell asleep, but why didn''t you sleep so late today? Is it worried about his safety? And why are there so many cups on this table? Did a lot of people come just now? was puzzled, Xia Yu didn''t hide it either, and asked his parents, "Parents, why are you still up so late? Someone just came?" Xia Dahai took Xia Yu to sit down, and did not answer his question. Instead, he looked at him solemnly and asked, "A Yu, did you make a million in stocks?" Hearing her husband¡¯s question, Chen Mei also looked at her son Xia Yu nervously, feeling very complicated. She hoped that her son would say yes, because the family would have a lot of money, and Xia Yu would say no, because so much money would bring a lot of trouble to the family. This kind of ambivalence has been since she learned the news in the afternoon. Existence made her distracted all afternoon and evening. Looking at the nervous father and mother, Xia Yu knew that his parents had learned the news from the newspaper, and not only his parents, but other people in the village should have known it, and the people in the village should have told his parents. After all, parents never read it. newspaper. Then the cups on the table were used by people from the village to sit and drink water before returning. really caused him trouble! Regardless of whether he admits it or not, starting from today, everything in the family has changed. There will definitely be people in the village who are thinking about it. The trouble will only increase. The only solution is to move! It¡¯s just that the daily affairs of the company, the recruitment, the change of office location, the purchase of a car, and now this is happening again. It is estimated that there will be a house and a move. So many things are crowded together, but he has to do it in the short term. Faced with and resolved as soon as possible, this made Xia Yu a bit big head. "A Yu, is this true?" Seeing his son frowned and thought, but did not immediately answer, Xia Dahai couldn''t help swallowing and asked nervously. Xia Yu, who came back to his senses, looked at his parents in high spirits, and sighed inwardly, knowing that there was no way to hide, and if he wanted to move, he had to let his parents know that he had the money to move, so he nodded and said, "Yes. , It¡¯s true, I did make a million in the stock market." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Xia Dahai and Chen Mei did not express any surprises, but as if they had taken out their energy, their spirits became trance. Seeing the appearance of his parents, Xia Yu felt a little guilty. He just knew that his parents were low-level people with little knowledge, so he didn''t let his parents know that he had a lot of money before. He took out 20,000 yuan to surprise his parents for a long time, but too If there are too many, I worry that my parents will not be able to bear it. Xia Yu is not very comfortable. This kind of thing can only be accepted by his parents. Otherwise, Xia Yu¡¯s assets will definitely increase in the future, and it is very likely to be discovered, and to a certain point, not to say Jane. It can be concealed simply, and parents will definitely know that at that time, if parents are not psychologically prepared, they will be even more unbearable. Therefore, despite seeing his parents in an incredible trance, Xia Yu just waited in silence and let them slowly accept. After a long time, Xia Dahai came back to his senses, looking at his son Xia Yu''s still green face, he felt a little dazed. He feels that he can¡¯t recognize his son anymore. Since his son fell into the water, he has changed. He has become more and more powerful. He has become more and more incomprehensible. But from the inner feeling, he knows what is in front of him. This person is his son. He doesn''t know whether it is good or bad for his son to be so good. He just knows that he can no longer help his son, which made him feel a little disappointed. As for the fact that his son Xia Yu earned a million, he has no insight. He doesn¡¯t know what the concept is. He only knows that it is an astronomical figure. He has not made so much money in his entire life. Now so much money is earned by his son. He didn''t know what to do, a little panicked. Seeing the behavior of his parents, Xia Yu felt very uncomfortable. This is the true manifestation of the poor. After being poor for a lifetime and suddenly getting tens of thousands of yuan, it will be ecstatic, but if you suddenly get a million, it is not a surprise, but a fright. All this is because Determined by knowledge and vision. Just because so much money is beyond their imagination, they will be scared instead. That''s how it is. I have to say that this is a kind of sorrow, poverty is the original sin! Xia Yu sighed inwardly, he had experienced this feeling in his previous life, so in this life he wanted to get ahead so much, he wanted to go to the top of the world to see. He doesn''t want to be the same as his previous life, he wants to change his fate! In his previous life, he studied hard, just to change the fate of himself and his family, and climb out of the bottom of society. It''s a pity that the starting point in the previous life was too low. After so many years of hard work, there is still not much change. All this is because Xia Yu lost from the starting line. No matter how hard he struggles, he still can''t beat those who were born with a golden spoon, but This is determined by birth, and Xia Yu cannot resent! Therefore, when he is reborn in this life, he will be ecstatic after he gets those memories. Because even if he is still at the bottom of society in this life, those memories mean that he has hope. Although he does not have the 500 million yuan given by the richest man Wang when he starts a business like Xiao Wang, those memories are him. Our wealth is something whose value cannot be measured. It doesn''t matter if there is no money, he will earn it himself! It doesn''t matter if there is no network, he will manage it himself! It doesn''t matter if there is no backer, he himself is the biggest backer! With those memories, he is fearless and has the courage to aspire to be a tycoon at the very beginning ~ www.novelhall.com~ no matter how hard and dangerous the way, he is fearless! He is the one who died once, so he doesn''t care about dying again! In this life, I do not seek wealth and peace, but only want to make a vigorous journey in the world, leaving his footprints! Just when Xia Yu was out of mind, Xia Dahai¡¯s words pulled him back: "A Yu, you have to save the money yourself. Your mother and I have no knowledge and can''t come up with any ideas. I just hope you will do something in the future. Be cautious." "Yeah, Ayu, mom only hopes that you must be safe, don''t have an accident, you know?" Chen Mei also said quickly, looking at Xia Yu''s eyes full of concern and worry. "Well, parents, don''t worry, I will be safe, I still have you, and Aming and Xiaomei, I will stay sensible." Xia Yu nodded solemnly. "Okay, it''s so late, so you should hurry up in the bathing area and go to sleep. You have to go to the company to work tomorrow." After a while, Xia Dahai stood up and said, without asking about the one million. Because he didn''t know what to do, he could only believe that his son had the ability to earn so much and he was able to handle it well. This was the only thing he could do. "Okay, Mom and Dad, you should go back to sleep first. Don''t go fishing during this time. You don''t need this little money. Pay attention to safety." Xia Yu told his parents. "Yeah!" Xia Dahai didn''t say much, nodded and then took his worried wife Chen Mei into the room. Looking at the heavy back of his parents, Xia Yu was silent for a long time. This night, for Xia Yu''s family, was an insomnia night... Ps: Group 623392664, welcome everyone to come in and have fun. Ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, the addition is a bit miserable. Chapter 45: Rise again The next day, after "Jiuding Daily"''s millions of advertising revenues exploded, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" fell into the hotly debated Xiangjiang newspaper industry. It was like a barrel of oil poured into a fire, and it became even more enthusiastic. The income of one million advertising fees in one month! A number that is enviable and hateful! One million can buy four third-rate tabloids with daily sales of 3,000 like the "Hong Kong Island Daily", and this is only one month''s advertising revenue, 12 million in a year! The average monthly advertising revenue of "Oriental Daily", which had an average daily sales of 170,000 copies, was only about 500,000. ranked second. Although the sales volume of "Sing Tao Daily" with daily sales of 160,000 copies is lower, the average monthly advertising revenue has reached 550,000. The average monthly advertising revenue of Ming Pao, which sells 130,000 copies per day, is around 430,000. It may be wondering why the sales of "Oriental Daily" are the highest, but the advertising revenue is lower than that of "Sing Tao Daily", which sells lower, while the sales of Ming Pao are 40,000 copies and the income of "Oriental Daily" is only less. 70 thousand. This is because the user value of "Oriental Daily" is not as high as that of "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao". The company that advertises is not a fool, of course, I know which kind of people are more wealthy. The consumption power of ordinary grassroots is limited, and the consumption power of three or four grassroots citizens is not as strong as that of white-collar workers and intellectuals. However, most of the users of "Oriental Daily" are grassroots citizens. Advertising can bring the lowest value. The "Sing Tao Daily" has been in business for more than 30 years. The old users are basically the heads of the family and dominate the financial power; or other white-collar workers and intellectuals, who are relatively cheap people, and advertise The company''s target is the pocketbook of this category of people. At this time, you may be wondering that the daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" is 250,000 copies, and because it is a new newspaper, the value of users should not be as good as that of "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao". How could it be possible that the advertising revenue reached 1.02 million? What? And it¡¯s almost double that of Sing Tao Daily! This is determined by many reasons. As mentioned before, the advertising business cannot be a fool. The person who can make the company bigger and stronger always has a longer-term vision! Although the daily sales volume of "Jiuding Daily" is 250,000 copies, it is much higher than the second place. The first aura is too strong, which naturally brings a bonus! The subconsciousness of a company whose advertisements can appear in the "Jiuding Daily" will make people feel more powerful. This is the invisible value brought by the authority of the media. Just like the previous life, CCTV overlooks the crowd, a small brand that has never heard of it. As long as it advertises on CCTV, its popularity will increase, and people''s recognition of CCTV will be transferred to that brand. Although "Jiuding Daily" cannot be compared with CCTV, and because it is a newly established newspaper, its authority needs to be improved, it is undeniable that "Jiuding Daily" is now the most influential newspaper in Xiangjiang. Moreover, the daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" is 250,000 copies, which proves that it has reached at least 250,000 users. If the "Hong Kong Island Daily" and "Ming Pao" are added together, the total users are around 280,000, literally There are 30,000 more users than "Jiuding Daily", but the combined advertising revenue of the two newspapers is 980,000, which is 4 points lower than "Jiuding Daily". However, this has to take into account the problem of the overlap rate of users of a newspaper. Many users will subscribe to "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao" at the same time. Therefore, the total users of the two newspapers are not 280,000, and because many users are High-level intellectuals, so the overlap rate may still be relatively high. In this calculation, in fact, the total number of users of the two newspapers can be 200,000. If a company spends 980,000 Hong Kong dollars to package "Thinking of RB" and "Ming Pao" for a month, only about 200,000 users will be radiated. While another company spent 1.02 million to package "Jiuding Daily" for a month, the number of users radiated reached around 250,000. It is clear at a glance which company made the money. is because the "Jiuding Daily" has just risen, and the users have not been well trained. Moreover, it is true that the rich, or the middle and upper-class people in Hong Kong account for a lower proportion of the total users than the "Hong Kong Island Daily" and "Ming Pao". Otherwise, the more important thing is the same. The sales of 250,000 copies alone can make the least income. 1.2 million advertising fees. As mentioned before, the number one newspaper is a scarce resource. There is only one newspaper, and the sales volume is so high. The effect of advertising is much higher than other newspapers. It is foolish for major advertisers not to grab it! It is foreseeable that as long as the "Jiuding Daily" continues to be maintained, or sales rise again, the value of the newspaper''s advertising space will become higher and higher, and the advertising revenue will only increase! ¡­¡­ Because of the news yesterday morning, many evening papers followed the trend and reported that Xia Yu made millions in stocks. The names of various stock gods and masters don¡¯t need money to wear Xia Yu¡¯s head. The headline party is unknown, which made the stockholders crazy and even more convinced. The stock recommended by Xia Yu, only because in their opinion, even Xia Yu personally entered the market, it can prove that he has confidence in his distraction articles. As a result, more people bought "Jiuding Daily" in order to catch up with the trend. This also caused the sales of "Jiuding Daily" to rise a lot yesterday, reaching a new high, reaching 270,000 copies in statistics last night. The 250,000 copies on the first day were 20,000 copies higher. And today, more small newspapers reported on Xia Yu¡¯s stock market¡¯s million-dollar feat. It is foreseeable that the sales of Jiuding Daily will rise again. really is a crazy stock market, crazy investors! This is the place where everyone likes Xiangjiang shares the stock market. This is the only way to increase the sales of Jiuding Daily. Xia Yu is happy when he knows about the sales, but some people are particularly unhappy, such as the owner of Ma Chengkun from the Oriental Daily. At this time in the building of the Oriental Press, Ma Chengkun looked at the statistical reports and analysis reports submitted by his subordinates. His expression was very gloomy, his eyebrows were erect, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes were still beating. You can imagine how much anger he endured in his heart. Ma Chengkun¡¯s appearance made the subordinates who submitted the report trembling. They did not dare to make any noises, and did not dare to gasp. For fear that Ma Chengkun would fire on him, it seemed that he thought of the miserable behavior of his colleague Wu Neng a few days ago. He is full of agitation. UU reading www.uukanshu. com "You go out first! Let all employees above the middle level go to the conference room for a meeting!" Ma Chengkun raised his head and glanced at him, and said lightly, holding back his anger. "Good boss, I''ll inform right away." The employee bowed his head and said respectfully, and then walked out quickly, closing the door gently when he went out. After the employees went out, Ma Chengkun no longer had the patience anymore, his expression became savage, his veins violent, and he looked like he was about to pick someone and eat it, which made people feel scared. ""Jiuding Daily", "Jiuding Daily"...Is it really my nemesis to the "Oriental Daily", and it also impacted my newspaper sales. Yesterday, the sales of "Oriental Daily" fell to 120,000 copies, which is lower than that of Ming Pao. In just a few days, it dropped from No. 1 in sales to No. 4 in sales, Xia Yu, I lost my mother!" "Snapped!" Ma Chengkun was angry and slapped on the table with a loud noise. Despite the tingling of his palm, Ma Chengkun didn''t seem to care. After a temper, Ma Chengkun panted and calmed down, tidying up his clothes a little, after all, he was going to a meeting later. However, before leaving, Ma Chengkun once again looked at the statistical data in his hand, thinking of the news of the family''s dark line adventure, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Never sit and wait for death, otherwise The sales of "The Daily" will only get lower and lower, which is extremely detrimental to the family. There will be no way to make the Hong Kong government jealous! Now is a critical period, and I must not make mistakes here!" "I hope they can come up with some solutions later, otherwise..." At the end, Ma Chengkun narrowed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you! Chapter 46: Hidden crisis Not long after, Ma Chengkun came to the conference room. After seeing everyone in there, he nodded in satisfaction and walked directly to the front position to sit down. "Okay, the meeting will begin now!" Ma Chengkun''s low voice sounded in the meeting room, and everyone immediately stopped their waists, not squinting. "Presumably you know the sales volume of the newspaper yesterday. During this period, our newspaper has encountered a crisis. I have held several meetings in a row. It is now the third time. Before you can think of a good way, then I will give It¡¯s been a long time since you guys, now everyone talks about your views, Qin Peng, starting with you.¡± While Ma Chengkun spoke, his sharp eyes swept across everyone''s faces, and finally looked at a subordinate next to him. The named subordinate Qin Peng shook his face, then nodded respectfully at Ma Chengkun, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, boss!" "I think the reason why "Jiuding Daily"..." "next!" "Boss, our "Oriental Daily" has been hit so hard, the main reason is..." "next!" ¡­¡­ After the round, more than an hour passed without knowing it. Ma Chengkun listened quietly without interrupting their analysis and opinions. Finally, he looked at Li Nan, the Minister of Information, and said to him: " Li Nan, you should write down all the analyses and opinions they said. What is the summary? Read it!" "Good boss." Li Nan nodded towards Ma Chengkun, and then said. "Combined with the opinions of colleagues, I can summarize the following points." "First, why does "Jiuding Daily" have such a big impact on our "Oriental Daily"? This is because of the homogeneity of various livelihood and factual news, and the quality of our novel section is not as good as "Jiuding Daily" , This has had a big impact." "Second, the biggest impact is actually the content of the financial sector written by Xia Yu, which has the greatest impact on our newspaper. The quality of our content is not as good as the "Jiuding Daily". What is more important is the purchase of Xia Yu. Yu often recommends stocks to guide investors to make money. Buying our newspaper does not make users profitable, but buying "Jiuding Daily" can make money. In contrast, the gap is obvious. Many investors simply don''t buy our newspapers." "We have also figured out a way during this period, and we have also found experts in the financial industry to write articles, but the effect is not great. One reason is that the output rate of those experts and scholars is too low to write a valuable article for a few days. Articles and the stocks recommended by experts and scholars are not accurate and cannot attract the attention of investors." "Furthermore, after consulting stock market professionals, their opinion was that the "Jiuding Daily" recommended stocks because they were accurate every time before, so that investors have become superstitious. As a result, as long as the stocks recommended by "Jiuding Daily" Don¡¯t think about whether it¡¯s good or not, just rush to buy, and they don¡¯t have time to think, because as long as they hesitate, they will not be able to grab the stock, which also forces other investors to be unable to think about whether the stock is worth buying, but many investors buy As a result, the stocks were scrambled, so the stock prices were artificially raised. Many stocks that shouldn''t have risen so much have risen abnormally. This is unreasonable." "But as long as the "Jiuding Daily" does not make any mistakes in every recommendation, or that some investors have no major losses, they will not shake their trust in the "Jiuding Daily". This situation becomes more and more serious in September, and even " "Jiuding Daily" recommends that junk stocks can be fired up." "The only thing that can be done, and the best way, is to make the recommendation of "Jiuding Daily" go wrong, causing some stockholders to suffer heavy losses, and shattering the myth of "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu, then "Jiuding Daily" will be unlucky. After several visits, the more stockholders lost, the more serious the "Jiuding Daily" will be criticized, and the crisis of "Dongfang Daily" will naturally be lifted." "Boss, the above is a synthesis of the opinions of all colleagues." Li Nan finally said. "Hmm!" Ma Chengkun nodded to him and motioned for him to sit down, then closed his eyes and meditated. Seeing the boss thinking, all the employees sitting there kept quiet and did not dare to disturb Ma Chengkun. After a long time, Ma Chengkun opened his eyes. "Okay, I know all your opinions, let''s end the meeting!" Ma Chengkun stood up and walked outside, leaving a group of subordinates staring at each other. They are all ready to be scolded by the boss. Who knows that this time the boss left after listening to their opinions. This made them feel relieved and at the same time feel puzzled. They don''t know what the boss is thinking. ¡­¡­ After leaving the meeting room, Ma Chengkun returned to the office, sitting on the chair and feeling his chin in thought. "Since I can still use commercial means to solve this problem, there is no need to force me to take the last step. After all, the last step is too risky." "It is indeed the best way to break the myth of recommending shares of "Jiuding Daily" and break Xia Yu''s golden body. It can be said that this is the seven inches of "Jiuding Daily", but this seven inches is not so easy to fight. ." "Every time "Jiuding Daily" recently recommended a stock, it will cause stockholders to scramble for funds frantically. If you want to force the stock price down, it is too difficult. This is equivalent to a forceful impact on the general trend. It is the most unwise approach. Although the effect is the best, the risk is too great! The funds needed are also massive, not feasible!" "Since the main purpose is to make shareholders lose money, those who have lost money are like mad dogs. As long as you guide public opinion a little, you can definitely bring the fire to the "Jiuding Daily". Then, you can definitely make the "Jiuding Daily" chaotic. The affected newspapers will never be merciless. When the time comes, they will join forces with them to attack the "Jiuding Daily" and they will definitely not mind falling into trouble." "In this case started with the stocks that the "Jiuding Daily" had recommended before. Didn''t Xia Yu say that it won''t fall in the short term? Then it fell sharply and hit him in the face!" "But the stock market is related to finance. If you want to succeed, you must find professionals. However, the Ma family does not have any industry in this area. This is a problem!" Thinking of this, Ma Chengkun''s head was a little big, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously. found a way, but how to implement it, and the implementation is effective, which makes him tricky. "It''s best to have hatred with "Jiuding Daily" or Xia Yu, and I can definitely cooperate with me without any effort to achieve the greatest effect, then who can? I think about it..." "Ming Heng Industrial?" "Yes! The Wu family of Ming Heng Industrial was miserable by the "Jiu Ding Daily". It happened that the Wu family was also involved in finance. I remember that they happened to have a securities company." "I heard that they were in a hurry, but now after so long, they should have sorted out their own situation." "Furthermore, the Wu family is also from the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. It has something to do with my Ma family, so it''s just right to join hands." it''s him! The more Ma Chengkun thought about it, the more suitable he finally made up his mind. Then he turned out the phone book and found a number and dialed the phone: "Hey, Wu Sheng, this is Ma Chengkun. I don¡¯t know if you have time later, I have some I want to discuss the matter with you. It''s very urgent. It concerns Mingheng Industrial..." After talking for a while, Ma Chengkun hung up the phone and took a deep breath. The cold light in his eyes flickered, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Ps: If you guys think the book is okay, please help give a five-star praise! Starting point, bookstore, QQ browser are all available! (???????) Chapter 47: plot In a room, Ma Chengkun sat opposite a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man is Wu Chengtai, who is now the speaker of the Wu family, and he is also a top-ranking figure in Xiangjiang. The Wu family was originally from Shantou and was also home to a wealthy man. In the 10th year of the Republic of China, he escaped the war and came to Xiangjiang. After two generations of hard work, after 50 or 60 years, he has built a big foundation and barely squeezed into it. Among the wealthy of Xiangjiang. There are hundreds of people in the Wu family, including Ming Heng Industry, a manufacturing company, Ming Heng Real Estate, a real estate company, and Tianwu Securities, which has only been established for ten years but has been thriving, these three industries. Among the three pillar industries, Mingheng Industrial and Mingheng Real Estate have been listed. Mingheng Real Estate was established much later than Mingheng Industrial, but it has the most assets. Tianwu Securities was founded by Wu Chengtai, which is exactly Relying on the achievements of Tianwu Securities, he defeated several brothers and became the head of the house. Tianwu Securities has not been listed. The total assets of the three major industries have reached more than two billion yuan. Although the current Hong Kong giants are not too high, the top 100 can barely get in. It¡¯s just that the stock price of Mingheng Industrial has plummeted some time ago, which caused the Wu family¡¯s assets to shrink severely. This has dealt a serious blow to the Wu family¡¯s vigorous development and positive situation. In the past ten days, the Wu family has been so busy and exhausted. Mingheng Industrial has reorganized it again, but the sluggish stock price does not know when it will rise again. Although the most fundamental problem of Mingheng Industrial¡¯s stock price plummet lies in its own body, the Wu family hates the "Jiuding Daily" that stabbed the knife, but because his own problems have not been resolved, and the "Jiuding Daily" is after all influential. It was too big, and the Wu family was a little worried about being stabbed again, so Wu Chengtai temporarily suppressed the cries of revenge from the "Jiuding Daily" in the family. Unexpectedly, I suddenly received a call from Ma Chengkun today, asking him to have a meeting with Mingheng Industry and "Jiuding Daily". Thinking of what he heard about the plummeting sales of "Oriental Daily", Wu Chengtai agreed without hesitation. Now, ready to see what Ma Chengkun is going to do. "Ma Sheng, I wonder what you invited me to talk about in detail?" Wu Chengtai took a sip of tea and said lightly. "Wu Sheng, don''t be angry when you hear what I said. Mingheng Industrial has suffered such a big loss. Isn''t your Wu family indifferent and let a kid born in fishing jump outside?" Ma Chengkun looked straight. Wu Chengtai asked. Hearing Ma Chengkun¡¯s words, Wu Chengtai¡¯s face sank. After all, Ma Chengkun exposed the Wu family¡¯s scars in front of his face, which made him look a little ugly, so he also replied: "Ma Sheng , Don¡¯t you "Oriental Daily" also suffered heavy losses? Why are you still in the mood to care about our Wu family?" Ma Chengkun''s face became stiff, but he returned to normal in an instant, and resisted the unhappiness in his heart. After all, he came to ask Wu Chengtai this time, and more importantly, he needed the help of Tianwu Securities to use the Wu family as a gunman. , And Tianwu Securities was founded by Wu Chengtai, so he had to lower his posture in the face of the boss. One more thing. After all, Wu Chengtai is the head of the Wu family. His Ma Chengkun cannot be the head of the Ma family. Now Wu Chengtai has come to meet him in person, which has already given him face. More importantly, although the Ma family has no less assets than the Wu family, most of them are not visible after all. And in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, the Ma family¡¯s status is also lower. Because a black hand is needed to help deal with some shameful things, other families in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce will give some support to the Ma family. Ma¡¯s thugs, it can be said that Ma¡¯s family has been the watchdog kept by the giants of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce from the beginning. However, as time goes by, this watchdog grows a bit big, so that the giants of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce have to Give some face. It is not only the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. Because of the actual situation in Xiangjiang, all major chambers of commerce have their own power underground. Some top-notch giants have raised a power alone, such as the He family in Omen and the Huo family on Hong Kong Island. Own underground power. Ma Chengkun also knows the reason for the existence of the Ma family, and also understands his own positioning, so he calms down and does not want to waste time with Wu Chengtai. He directly stated his intentions and said: "Wu Sheng, let me say it clearly. This time I want to join hands with you to deal with the Jiuding Daily." Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, Wu Chengtai''s eyes condensed, and he observed Ma Chengkun''s face. After confirming that he was serious, Wu Chengtai did not rush to speak, but was silent for a while. He knew that Ma Chengkun wanted something. For him, then he doesn''t need to be so worried. Therefore, Wu Chengtai took a sip of tea in a hurry, and then said in Ma Chengkun¡¯s expectant eyes: "Although "Jiuding Daily" has indeed caused us a lot of trouble, but dealing with "Jiuding Daily", I have no benefit. I saw the risks. I saw the first-selling newspaper in Hong Kong. Hehe, it¡¯s not that easy to mess with, and you should also be aware of the influence of "Jiuding Daily" in the stock market. And my Wu family has two companies listed. Another securities company is also closely related to the stock market, so I can¡¯t provoke it.¡± If Wu Chengtai refused, Ma Chengkun had already considered it before he came, so he was also prepared to persuade Wu Chengtai. "Wu Sheng, the Xiaopujie of Xia Yu swallowed the Wu family''s face and caused the Wu family to suffer a heavy loss, so your family swallowed this breath?" Ma Chengkun began to agitate. "Ma Sheng, there is no need to irritate me again and again If you don''t come up with something tangible, let''s end today''s conversation. I have something to do." After all, Wu Chengtai was sitting in a house. People in the position of the lord, the city is not built, just don''t take the **** of Ma Chengkun. Although he does hate the "Jiuding Daily", in his position, he must consider things from the interests of the whole family, and it is impossible to be arrogant. If there are not enough benefits for things with greater risks, how can he take risks? Moreover, after hitting the "Jiuding Daily", the "Oriental Daily" was the most directly benefited. Therefore, if Ma Chengkun does not come up with some tangible benefits, Wu Chengtai does not intend to chat with him. are all thousand-year-old foxes, what else are you talking about? Seeing that Wu Chengtai was not on the road, Ma Chengkun sighed inwardly. He wanted to fight for it as much as possible. When he told the plan later, he could contribute less, but who knew that he could not have the advantage in front of Wu Chengtai. Can confess. ¡°Wu Sheng, let¡¯s make it clear that this time, although it is said to deal with "Jiuding Daily", there is no need for the Wu family to confront directly. The "Oriental Daily" will do the confrontation." Ma Chengkun looked at Wu Chengtai and said . Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, Wu Chengtai''s heart moved, his expression was slightly loose, and he made a please gesture to signal Ma Chengkun to continue. Seeing the change in Wu Chengtai¡¯s attitude, Ma Chengkun was sure in his heart, and continued to speak out his plans... ps: The new recommendation is really good. The recommended books in the same issue have an average of about 2900 new recommendations in six days. Mine is only 1,800. The difference is far, and the heart is hard. But the new collection is not low, I don¡¯t understand. What''s the matter, please vote if you have votes, there is no need to send red envelopes, and you can''t waste your money! One or two recommendation tickets are all sincere, thank you very much! Chapter 48: Dafa Real Estate "Wu Sheng, your family''s Ming Heng Real Estate is developing rapidly, and now you know the prospects of the Hong Kong real estate industry more clearly than me. As long as you get the land, you can make a steady profit. I heard that Heng Real Estate will expand again in the near future, but the Hong Kong Government I just sold a lot of land some time ago. It is estimated that it is impossible to sell land again in the near future. However, Mingheng Real Estate cannot stop its expansion. It is better to annex a small real estate company. What do you think?" Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, Wu Chengtai''s expression became serious. He was indeed aroused by his appetite, wanting to see what meat Ma Chengkun could throw out. The expansion strategy of Wu''s Mingheng Real Estate was set more than a month ago, and the Wu family did not deliberately hide it. After all, Mingheng Real Estate is just a small real estate company with a total asset of more than 100 million. The expansion will not cause The vigilance of other colleagues is just because there are too many small and medium-sized real estate companies in Xiangjiang, and almost every wealthy company has set foot in it. Mingheng Real Estate''s behavior seems normal. It was just because he missed the last opportunity to obtain land, which led to the determination of the expansion strategy, but the Wu family held the funds but it was difficult to use it. This also troubled Wu Chengtai. This company has been analyzing and inspecting Xiangjiang for more than a month. See which company has land underneath and whether it has acquisition value. Never thought, now Ma Chengkun said this, meaning he knew that there was a real estate company suitable for Mingheng Industrial, which made him curious. "Ma Sheng, please keep talking, I''ll listen." Wu Chengtai took a sip of tea and said in a listening gesture. "The current market value of 60 million Dafa Real Estate Company, I wonder if Wu Sheng has known about it?" Ma Chengkun continued. Wu Chengtai''s eyebrows moved slightly. He had some impressions of Dafa Real Estate. The market value is about 60 million yuan, which is about half of the market value of Wu Jiaming Heng Real Estate. It is a small real estate company, but he did not specifically check the foundation of this real estate company. Moreover, if you want to acquire Dafa Real Estate, which has a market value of 60 million Hong Kong dollars, if it is acquired wholly, it will cost at least 70 million or even 80 million to succeed. This is because the current controller of Dafa Real Estate is willing to be acquired. The premise. If the controller of Dafa Real Estate is unwilling to be acquired, then if Wu Chengtai forces the acquisition and encounters resistance, it is likely to fail. Moreover, Dafa Real Estate is still a bit bigger compared to Wu¡¯s Mingheng Real Estate. Even if the acquisition of 51% of the shares requires at least 30 to 40 million yuan, the Wu family can¡¯t come up with so much capital, and it¡¯s more than that. The previously scheduled plan. Before, the Wu family only planned to spend 10 to 20 million to start a company. The one that is not listed is the best, and it is not necessarily a real estate company. It only needs that company has enough land. It is a pity that because of Mingheng Industrial, the Wu family lost a large amount of capital, which affected the real estate strategy. Only, now Ma Chengkun talks about this Dafa real estate, Wu Chengtai is suddenly interested and wants to see if there is any opportunity. "Wu Sheng, I happened to know this Dafa Real Estate property, and it was not created by any Xiangjiang family." Ma Chengkun said again. Hearing this, Wu Chengtai was a little moved. Dafa Real Estate was not created by a wealthy family, so the actual operability is very strong. Currently, Hong Kong, such as finance, real estate, shipping, water and electricity, etc. which are related to people''s livelihood or belong to important industries are controlled by large and small families. Regardless of the fact that the Xiangjiang area is not big, but there are many large and small wealthy families. The most powerful families are small families who came from the Republic of China like the Wu family, not to mention that there were large family branches in Jiangsu, Zhejiang or Fujian and Guangdong, and even the entire clan moved together. , From the very beginning, the family has a solid foundation, after 50 or 60 years of development, the strength has expanded even more. In addition, Xiangjiang also has local families that existed in the late Qing Dynasty and descendants of the Shisanxing, as well as the British family that is still at the top of Xiangjiang. In addition to some of the above-mentioned families, there are also many emerging families that have just emerged in recent decades and have assets of tens of millions. It can be said that without in-depth understanding, you will not know how many large and small families there are in Xiangjiang. In addition, many families like marriage, and there are chambers of commerce formed by the township party. The relationship is intertwined. No one knows how many families will be involved in attacking a family. Therefore, the rich and powerful will understand each other''s situation, have records of the pillar industries of each major family, and will not easily target them. If you want to acquire the other party''s industry, you have to find out the situation, weigh the pros and cons before taking action. Therefore, the Wu family decided to expand after more than a month of money and played a big role in the real estate industry. However, after more than a month, they still failed to choose a target. Unexpectedly, Ma Chengkun has mentioned a Dafa real estate that is not owned by the rich family. That made Wu Chengtai interested. "Ma Sheng, please tell me about the situation of Dafa Real Estate." Wu Chengtai said, with a much better attitude. "Wu Sheng, Dafa Real Estate was created by Li Zhaoxu in 1965. Li Zhaoxu is 52 years old this year. He used to make a fortune in dock trading and then seized the opportunity to enter the real estate industry. It was successfully listed three years ago and had a market value of around 20 million. Then at the end of 1976, the stock price fell to more than 10 million, until half a month ago, the market value finally rose to about 30 million." Ma Chengkun briefly stated the situation of Dafa Real Estate. "No, half a month ago, the market value was only about 30 million. How come the market value has risen to 60 million now, which has almost doubled. What is going on?" Wu Chengtai asked sensitively, and the question was directed to the core. "Because the stock of Dafa Real Estate was previously recommended by the "Jiuding Daily" and was very optimistic. It was analyzed that Dafa Real Estate¡¯s plot location was very good, and the land reserves were large, and the market value was underestimated, so the stock price was speculated. And as Xia Yu has been predicting success, the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has been rising during this period, so it has a market value of 60 million." Ma Chengkun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice. Hearing this, Wu Chengtai''s eyes became sharp, and he stared at Ma Chengkun abruptly. Ma Chengkun did not have any guilty conscience, and when he stared at Wu Chengtai, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. after awhile. "That''s it!" Wu Chengtai retracted his gaze and said with a smile, as if nothing happened just now. After all, Wu Chengtai has been up and down in the business sea for so many years, and he is not a fool. Ma Chengkun is so obvious that he is not qualified to be the head of the Wu family if he doesn''t know what Ma Chengkun is making. He already understood that Ma Chengkun¡¯s purpose was to borrow his hand, or to use Tianwu Securities in his hands to break Dafa Real Estate back to its original form, break the golden body of "Jiuding Daily" and attack "Jiuding Daily" for "Oriental Daily" made a siege. And the Wu family did not do nothing for nothing. Not only did they hide behind the Ma family and retaliate against the "Jiuding Daily", but the Wu family also had a big gain, that is, to eat Dafa Real Estate and allow Mingheng Real Estate to expand. It can be said that if it can be successful, this is a very cost-effective business, and it will serve multiple purposes! Ma Chengkun even helped him find out the way. It can be said that Ma Chengkun also took great pains to fight the "Jiuding Daily". However, it is difficult for this plan to succeed. Although the Wu family did not have the energy to retaliate against "Jiuding Daily", Wu Chengtai noticed "Jiuding Daily" after the stock price of Mingheng Industrial plummeted, so he was also aware of the development of "Jiuding Daily" and now that "Jiuding Daily" The momentum is booming, and UU Reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com is on it. This is what the saying goes. Therefore, if this plan is to succeed, the difficulty is not small. Then, Dafa Real Estate was shrouded in the halo of the stocks recommended by the "Jiuding Daily". Investors were very confident in Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock. It was very difficult to suppress the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, and the amount of funds needed was huge. It''s hard to take out the home. Although the total assets of the Wu family are around 200 million yuan, the assets are not cash. In addition to cleaning up the mess of Mingheng Industrial more than ten days ago, the Wu family has suffered a lot, and the cash flow that can be urgently used now is also About ten million yuan was originally planned to be used to acquire the company and expand the real estate company. Although several funds of Tianwu Securities manage more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, almost all of them have bought stocks. It is not so easy to liquidate and cash out. If cash out in advance, Tianwu Securities will suffer losses. Therefore, if you want to suppress the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, you need a large amount of capital, plus the funds required for the acquisition of Dafa Real Estate after the suppression, it is really not a small amount, you must seek help from the bank to achieve the goal. No, there are other ways besides borrowing from the bank! Wu Chengtai looked at Ma Chengkun, and a thought flashed in his mind. "Since you want to use me as a gunman, it''s good and not impossible, but you have to provide me with some ammunition! Besides, it would be a little uneasy not to tie him in..." Ps: Do you have any other friends to provide dragon suits and supporting roles? The stall spreads out slowly, and there will be more and more characters, it is difficult to name it! Ps: The recommendation for next week has come out. It is a selection of new urban books, no app recommendation, text push and mosquito legs. I looked at the recommendation effect of this recommendation position on the data network. It is also heart-warming. I want to be quiet... Chapter 49: Money laundering "Ma Sheng, the market value of Dafa Real Estate is too high, and it is too difficult to move it!" Wu Chengtai said with embarrassment. "Wu Sheng, in fact, you should know better than I how to operate this. After all, you created Tianwu Securities with one hand. Since you want to suppress the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, you can short it and borrow a batch of stocks. This is not a province. Did you get a part of the capital? And you can make more profit from short-handedness!" Ma Chengkun seemed to have expected Wu Chengtai to say this, so he said immediately. Hearing Ma Chengkun''s words, Wu Chengtai''s expression stunned, Ma Chengkun came here really well, and even thought about how to operate it for him, a man of knowledge. That¡¯s right, Ma Chengkun, a routine that anyone who is not engaged in finance can think of, how can Wu Chengtai, a veteran of more than ten years in the stock market, do not know how to maximize his profits! If you want to suppress the price of a stock, you must have a sufficient number of stocks on hand to sell and suppress the stock price, so you must spend money to buy stocks as ammunition, but in addition to buying it yourself, you can also go short to other institutions. Borrow it. However, if they borrow stocks from other institutions, then other institutions will naturally stand against him. After all, if the stock price drops, the institutions that bet against him will lose. Therefore, other institutions are absolutely likely to enter the market in order to preserve their interests. Tianwu Securities is against it, which increases the risk of operation! After all, the strength of the bulls is strong! Unless the number of stocks borrowed from an institution is small, and then let them see the determination of Tianwu Securities to suppress Dafa Real Estate, it is not worth their risk to enter the market. How to grasp this degree needs to be carefully considered! It¡¯s just that this will offend other institutions after all, and the main energy must be placed on retail investors or small institutions. This is typically bullying! "Ma Sheng, if you go short at the same time, although the profit is greater, the risk is also greater. In order to ensure the success of the operation, a large amount of funds is still needed." Wu Chengtai said again. Ma Chengkun can''t even think about funding. How can I also put out a part of the funds to share the risk for him, and tie Ma Chengkun up, it can also calm his heart, and more funds also increase the probability of success. I have to say that Wu Chengtai is indeed a little tempted by Dafa Real Estate at this moment. "Furthermore, if our suppression of Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock price is known to the "Jiuding Daily", it is very likely that there will be uncontrollable situations. After all, Xia Yu is a stock **** advocated in the newspaper, and he also has millions of dollars. Funds will always pose a threat to us." Wu Chengtai said again, only when he said the newspaper''s title of Xia Yu, a hint of sarcasm appeared in the corner of his mouth unconsciously, as if he was very disdainful of the name wearing Xia Yu''s head. Wu Chengtai does have the confidence to disdain Xia Yu. After all, he is the one who created Tianwu Securities. Xia Yu is also a lucky junior in his eyes. "Wu Sheng, how much money does Xia Yu have? Even if he really made one million Hong Kong dollars in just over ten days, plus the one million advertising fees charged by "Jiuding Daily", that would be only two million. If he has the courage to use five times the leverage and only 10 million of funds, as long as he dares to come in, with Wu Sheng''s ability, isn''t it easy to let him lose his money?" Ma Chengkun said with a sneer. "Haha!" Wu Chengtai laughed, but did not deny it. In fact, this was his inner thought. If you don¡¯t put Xia Yu in your eyes, it¡¯s not that he underestimates the enemy, but the fact is. In the financial market, capital is king, and no matter how great a person¡¯s ability is, he will still be ravaged when capital is insufficient. This is hard power. decided. It¡¯s just that Wu Chengtai doesn¡¯t know that Xia Yu can use at least seven million funds, and he has the authority to use the ten times leverage given by HSBC Securities, which can leverage 70 million funds. 70 million and 10 million, the gap is big! Sometimes, people¡¯s subjective analysis is very likely to go wrong. Ma Chengkun thinks that Xia Yu can make millions in a dozen days, but he doesn¡¯t know that Xia Yu is not an ordinary person. He underestimates Xia Yu. Besides, can you believe the news from the third-rate tabloid? "Okay, Ma Sheng, I would like to say that if the plan is successful this time, it will be good for you and me. In order to ensure the success rate, the funds must be as much as possible. You have to put out at least 10 million. "Wu Chengtai''s expression changed, and he said solemnly, with a serious attitude. Ma Chengkun just wanted to refuse, but immediately swallowed it back. His eyes lit up and he thought of something. The success rate of this plan is still good, especially when Wu Chengtai¡¯s Tianwu Securities takes it seriously, the success rate has greatly increased. It can be said that there is a high probability of making money, and the profit of investing money is still considerable. Ma Chengkun is not Stupid, how can you not see it? But there is a reason why he is unwilling to invest money. After all, his father is in charge of the Ma family, not him. He can''t use too much family funds. He is also worth tens of millions. Yes, and the "Oriental Daily" has also gone from bad to worse during this period. He also needs funds to operate it, so he can''t afford to spend any money. Just a moment ago, he thought of one thing, because he had never done something like this before. It was through other channels that caused his mind to not turn around. Now, with a flash of inspiration, he realized that this thing is indeed feasible. During this period of time, the Hong Kong government has been watching closely, and even the channels for laundering money have been reduced. As a result, a lot of black money has been deposited and there is no way to launder it. This opportunity can be used. Ma Chengkun smiled and said to Wu Chengtai: "Wu Sheng, I can actually pay some money, but I need you to help me." Seeing Ma Chengkun¡¯s smile and hearing his words again, Wu Chengtai¡¯s face became cold. He immediately knew what Ma Chengkun¡¯s idea was, and said coldly: "Do you want me to help you launder the black money?" "Wu Sheng, we are in the same boat now, after all, helping me is helping you, and I won''t let you do it for nothing, I will give you 30% of the handling fee!" Ma Chengkun said with a smile. The third-tier handling fee is also at a normal level, and the Ma family also loses so much money laundering through other channels, and it is also very troublesome. Now to Wu Chengtai is equivalent to an additional channel, and it is still a safer channel. Wu Chengtai did not immediately answer, but pondered for a while, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that since Ma Chengkun made this request, UU Reading wanted Ma Chengkun¡¯s financial support so much, and now he can only help him launder the money. As he said, helping Ma Chengkun is helping him. What''s more, there is still 30% of the handling fee. After helping him launder 10 million, there will be a handling fee of 3 million. The profit is still considerable, but it is really risky to help him launder money! And he was also worried that one would have two, which would be detrimental to the Wu family! I also thought of Dafa Real Estate. If this plan is successful, not only will the family''s strategy be implemented, but also a profit of 10 to 20 million will be made. This opportunity is really rare for Tianwu Securities to take off! "Wu Sheng, the Wu family has a big family, and 10 million funds can still be washed out." Seeing Wu Chengtai thinking, Ma Chengkun said again. After that, he didn''t bother him again, but sat on a stool and drank tea with a smile. Judging from his understanding of Wu Chengtai, he would still agree. After weighing for a long time, Wu Chengtai finally made up his mind. He fixed his eyes on Ma Chengkun, and said firmly: "40%, and only 10 million for you, there is no second time!" "No problem!" Ma Chengkun said with a smile. "Remember what you said!" Wu Chengtai regained his composure and said faintly at Ma Chengkun. "Never break your promise!" Ma Chengkun said without hesitation. "By the way, Wu Sheng, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible." Ma Chengkun reminded again. "I will go back to check the information of Dafa Real Estate today. If there is no problem, I expect to start working on it next Monday!" Wu Chengtai said with a squinted eye. Ma Chengkun wanted to be as soon as possible. He also knew that this matter should not be too late, so he estimated himself in his heart. The time it takes is directly set. "Okay, waiting for your good news!" Ma Chengkun said with satisfaction. ¡­¡­ Ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket! Chapter 50: The so-called mansion Today, in addition to the hot spots of Xia Yu and "Jiuding Daily" advertising revenue, the statement of HSBC Securities also attracted the attention of many people. The statement of HSBC Securities was not published in the "Jiuding Daily", but in the "Hong Kong Economic Journal", "Commercial Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and many other newspapers. The content of the statement is not long, but only refers to internal employees. Due to personal problems, the spread of false information caused distress to customers and had a serious impact on the company¡¯s creditworthiness. The company has fired the employees involved and will strengthen company management to prevent similar incidents from happening. Many people who watched the excitement were confused after reading this statement. HSBC Securities said it was false news. Did Xia Yu make a million? Unfortunately, they are destined to get no answer to this question. Of course, some HSBC Securities customers who were concerned about this matter saw this statement and found that the "Jiuding Daily" did not contain any relevant content. They knew in their hearts that the general situation of the matter should be that HSBC Securities had communicated with Xia Yu. After that, the employee was fired as a gesture, which made them relieved. There is a conclusion about this matter, and the popularity will gradually decline, so there is no need to say more. ¡­¡­ After Xia Yu came to the company to handle some daily affairs, he went out. He thought about it last night, and went to find a house today, and then moved as soon as possible. The fact that he wrote the novel before has spread throughout the village, but it has not been reported how much money he made, and the villagers do not know the inside story of the author¡¯s income, so there is no restlessness, at most they are praised by Xia Yu. Sentence, and then envious of Xia Dahai and Chen Mei, and praised them by the way. Therefore, although it has an impact, it is still considered a good impact. Although living at home is indeed inconvenient and uncomfortable, Xia Yu will live for a few more days due to busy work, so he did not rush to buy a house and move. Worries. But the nature of this time is different. Exposing Xia Yu''s stock market made a million. Whether Xia Yucheng admits it or not, many people will think Xia Yu has made it. The whole village must be impetuous. It is foreseeable, jealous, there will definitely be a lot of borrowers, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time. If some more people take risks, it will be even more troublesome. Xia Yu did not regard the current Xiangjiang as a harmonious society for future generations. Many people who know about Xia Yu''s situation will still have some scruples, but they are afraid of the kind of punks who don''t know anything. This kind of people currently poses a greater threat to Xia Yu. Therefore, for the safety of himself and his family, Xia Yu must move first, and also to the kind of residential area that is secured and not open to outsiders. Only when his family is safe, Xia Yu will not be restrained and can go without scruples. Do things. Then, Xia Yu set off for a real estate agency, which happened to have the house Xia Yu needed on the platform. In fact, for so many days, Xia Yu did not fail to make any preparations. After planning to move from the beginning, although he couldn''t get out of his work because of his busy schedule, he still used his scattered time to collect some information about the distribution of Xiangjiang''s residences and luxury houses. The situation did an understanding. The collections of luxury houses such as Repulse Bay, Big Wave Bay, Victoria Peak, and Mid-Levels Villas, which are more well-known in previous lives, are actually high exposure because of super-rich Li Chaoren and other stars and Chen Long that attracted the attention of the media. Many people subconsciously Think these areas have luxury houses. But this is not the case! There are not many luxury residential areas in Xiangjiang, almost in every district, and the rich people live in scattered places, not too concentrated. Hong Kong¡¯s luxury houses are divided into traditional luxury residential areas and emerging luxury residential areas. Traditional luxury residential areas are such as Victoria Peak, Mid-Levels, Kowloon Tong, Ho Man Tin, Happy Valley, etc. Later, after the Chinese consortium gradually emerged, Repulse Bay, Stanley and other emerging luxury residential areas appeared. Among them, in this era, the Victoria Peak and Mid-Levels mansions on Hong Kong Island are more expensive. This dates back many years. In the current period of British rule, the Victorian Peak and Mid-Levels luxury houses are mainly inhabited by British people, and the peak becomes a luxury residential area, mainly because of the high terrain, which allows you to see the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour. In the early days, the top of Victoria Peak and Mid-levels were occupied by officials and foreign consuls. It was not until 1906 that the rich man Sir Ho Tung, who was respected as the "Hong Kong tycoon", became the first non-European person allowed to live in the Peak District. Since then, many tycoons have successively bought and settled there, but there are still more British people. Most of the emerging Chinese rich have settled in other luxury residential areas. For example, Li Chaoren and the charter king settled in Repulse Bay. It''s a pity that Xia Yu''s foundation is in Kowloon. Repulse Bay, Big Wave Bay and Victoria Peak are all on Hong Kong Island. It is impossible for him to run over there to settle down. It is too far and inconvenient. So after Xia Yu thought about it, he settled in Kowloon Tong. As for Ho Man Tin in the Kowloon area, he had no idea after thinking about it. It was simply because he was farther away and not convenient. And the mansion in Kowloon Tong, Xia Yu also did some understanding, it is indeed suitable for him to buy to live in the family. The area of ??Kowloon Tong is full of luxury housing estates, but the area of ??luxury housing varies widely, and the price difference is relatively large. For Xiangjiang, a small and crowded place, more than 100 square meters are called a mansion by them. Xiangjiang people calculate the area of ??the house in square feet. 10.75 square feet is equivalent to one square meter. However, every household in the mainland of the future will not be comfortable living in 100 square meters. If you follow the algorithm of Xiangjiang people, it is appropriate Every family lives in a mansion. And luxury houses do not become more expensive as they become more expensive. Other factors must be considered. For example, the actual residential area of ??a majestic house bought for 1.5 billion yuan is only about 1,100 square meters. And Xu Shixun of the rich family of Hong Kong bought about 9,600 square meters at No. 10 Big Wave Bay Road. That was the real luxury house, but later it was worth more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the current housing prices, if Xia Yu is willing to disregard future plans and buy a top-notch mansion first, it is also affordable, but not worth it! He has his own set of ideas about money. If you have money, you can spend it. Otherwise, what''s the use of earning? But he will spend it wisely, because he is not a person who is extravagant and desperate to miss big things! So after getting to know it, he planned to buy a million-dollar house and live there first. Moreover, the price of buying a luxury house here is much cheaper than in places like Taipingshan. More than one million yuan can buy more than two thousand square feet, that is, a luxury house of about 200 square meters. Don¡¯t think it¡¯s more than one million. It¡¯s only at the beginning of 1978. The Hong Kong stock market is only more than 600 points. Nine years later, the Hang Seng Index has reached more than 4,000, which has doubled by about seven times. The economy of Hong Kong has exploded and is advancing by leaps and bounds. www.novelhall.com~ Prices have skyrocketed, and land prices have risen faster than the stock market. The current luxury house bought for more than 1 million will cost more than 10 million and nearly 20 million after nine years. So, if Xia Yu spends all his funds on real estate speculation now, he will be a billionaire in nine years! It¡¯s just that Xia Yu can¡¯t do such a stupid thing. Yes, for Xia Yu, this kind of nine-year property over ten times is a stupid thing! For an ordinary person, this would be a very wise move, but for a person like Xia Yu with super ability, if he goes to real estate speculation, it is estimated that the big brothers of previous lives will have to be taken if they know about it. Mad! Not much gossip, not long before Xia Yu came to the real estate agency. He directly found the manager of the real estate agency. After a series of on-site understandings, Xia Yu bought a house on the spot for one million, which was originally one hundred and ten thousand. After some conversation, the fraction was directly erased. Up. This house, with an area of ??about 240 square meters, has two floors, enough for a family of five people. After each person is divided into one room, there are two extra bedrooms. Moreover, the house Xia Yu bought was completely renovated, and all kinds of furniture were available, and you could move in with your bags. It is precisely because of this that Xia Yu chose this house, which saved him a lot of time. Now He doesn''t have enough time, it would be better to spend some money to solve troubles. It took less than two hours from the real estate agency until Xia Yu signed the contract and paid the cash. The time was less than eleven. Then, Xia Yu went to the next location non-stop, which was Longchang Motors! The housing is solved, and now it is time to solve the problem of the car. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient and a waste of time without a car. Ps: Rolling all over asking for recommendation tickets! Chapter 51: Famous car Not long after, Xia Yu got off at the gate of Longchang Depot. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xia Yu specifically called Liu Tianci before coming, and learned that Liu Tianci had already called Wang Rong, so Xia Yu could go directly to him. Outside the Longchang Motorsport, I looked at the shopfront of the Motorsport. It was very large. I looked in through the glass door and found that the Motorsport is very spacious and covers an area of ??at least 2,000 square meters. Xia Yu didn''t stop, and walked directly into Longchang Motor Store. Once inside, Xia Yu walked directly to the front desk. He was not going to look at the cars one by one. This would waste his time. After all, he was not familiar with the cars of this era and could not start at all. It would be better to find a king. Rong recommends that with Liu Tianci''s introduction, there should be no pitfalls. After Xia Yu entered the car dealership, someone saw it, but seeing Xia Yu''s age did not seem to be a car buyer, so the salesman hesitated whether to come to receive him or not, and then saw Xia Yu walking directly to the front desk. , Just wait for Xia Yu at the front desk to come over. "Hello, miss, where is your general manager?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Hearing that Xia Yu came over, he asked the general manager directly. The sales lady who was asked was a little dumbfounded, but still politely said: "This... sir, I don¡¯t know what you want our general manager to do? Is there an appointment? ?" "There is no appointment, but my friend called your general manager, so I came directly." Xia Yu replied. Upon hearing Xia Yu''s words, the sales lady was a little embarrassed, and her smile became reluctant. At this time, the other person next to the sales lady looked at Xia Yu for a while, and asked tentatively: "This gentleman, I wonder if your surname is Xia?" Xia Yu turned his head to look at the other person, smiled and nodded and said, "My last name is Xia." Hearing what Xia Yu said, the man blinked his eyes and seemed a little unbelievable, but he immediately recovered and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, please wait a moment, I''ll go to our general manager immediately." After speaking, she ran towards the general manager''s office. Before Xia Yu came, she just heard the general manager''s order. If there is a man named Xia coming, she will notify him and he will receive him personally. It''s just that she didn''t think that the man named Xia in the general manager''s mouth turned out to be a teenager, so she didn''t react for a while. Seeing the reaction of colleagues, the sales lady immediately became enthusiastic and quickly made tea for Xia Yu. After a while, Xia Yu saw a young man in his twenties walking towards him quickly, and Xia Yu also hurriedly stood up. "Hello, I''m Wang Rong, the general manager of Longchang Motor Company. May I be Mr. Xia Yuxia?" The young man who claimed to be Wang Rong stretched out his hand and said with a smile, but when he looked at Xia Yu there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Was surprised at Xia Yu''s age. Xia Yu also stretched out his hand to hold him together, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I am Xia Yu, hello Wang Sheng!" "Hello, Xia Sheng, it''s nice to meet you. I can''t wait to get to know you after receiving a call from God. I didn''t expect you to come so soon. Haha, my honor!" Wang Rong smiled heartily. Indeed, as Wang Rong said, he and Liu Tianci are good friends. I received a call from Liu Tianci early this morning, saying that he would introduce a friend to buy a car from him and ask him to recommend a good car to his friend. He described some basic information about Xia Yu. For example, Xia Yu was the boss of "Jiuding Daily" and had a good relationship with him, and then asked him to help Xia Yu get a driver''s license as soon as possible. At that time, Wang Rong was still very surprised when he heard Liu Tianci talk about Xia Yu''s situation. After all, how could he have not heard of "Jiuding Daily", which is now the top-selling newspaper in Xiangjiang? It¡¯s just that I never thought that the owner of "Jiuding Daily" is so young, as Liu Tianci said, he is a young talent and cannot be treated with common sense. "Wang Sheng, you are polite. It is not easy for Wang Sheng to run such a big car dealership. It is also my honor to meet you!" Xia Yu also touted Wang Rong, and Xia Yu said the words of flattery and flattery. There is no embarrassment. "Haha, Xia Sheng, come to my office for a cup of tea." Wang Rong invited. Xia Yu looked at his watch and said with embarrassed expression: "Wang Sheng, there are too many things to deal with these days, so I just spared some time in the morning to watch the car first, and I''ll talk to you next time. Please sin." Wang Rong hurriedly waved his hand and said that Xia Yu said that he was serious, and then he made a request and said: "Then Xia Sheng, please here." Xia Yu responded well and followed Wang Rong in one direction. While walking, Wang Rong also asked Xia Yu about his basic intentions. Xia Yu only mentioned a few points, saying that he would like to use a business car, as comfortable as possible, the atmosphere should be as comfortable as possible, and the quality should be good, but not too high-profile. At the same time, Xia Yu also pointed out. No RB car, preferably a German car. After hearing Xia Yu''s request, Wang Rong took Xia Yu to a car and stopped for a while and said, "Xia Sheng, look at these cars." Xia Yu stood aside and began to look up, with interest in his eyes. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, the four representative brands of German cars are all here. aware that Xia Yu seemed interested, Wang Rong began to introduce: "Xia Sheng, this is Mercedes-Benz''s most popular model in the world in recent years. Its power system is..." "This is a BMW..." ¡­¡­ Listening to Wang Rong''s constant introduction, Xia Yu nodded from time to time, and started to wonder. In fact, Xia Yu is no stranger to these brands of cars. Based on information from later generations and memories in his mind, he understands no less than Wang Rong. The world-famous German troikas: Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz. The masses are civilians. Although there is also a luxury car brand Audi, it is too young and its technical reserves are still not as good as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Although BMW is also a luxury car, better than Audi, it is relatively young compared to Mercedes-Benz, and its technical reserves are relatively weak. Mercedes-Benz, the inventor of the automobile, is considered to be the most successful premium car brand in the world. It belongs to the Daimler Group. It has excellent technology and focuses on safety. As a businessman, a Mercedes-Benz who seems more atmospheric and stable is suitable for him. And the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle that is now in front of you is a classic Mercedes-Benz revitalized. The Mercedes-Benz S is still an improved fifth generation. It has only been released a few years ago and has been sold all over the world. Because of this, Xia Yu''s main focus is on Mercedes-Benz. Seeing the changes in Xia Yu, Wang Rong also emphatically introduced this Mercedes-Benz car. Although the appearance of this Mercedes-Benz S is not good compared to those of later generations, Xia Yu has no choice but to ignore this factor. If you want to look good, the big deal is to see if you can buy a car company in the future~ www.novelhall.com~ Build your own satisfactory car. But now, his strength is weak, so he can only do it! "Wang Sheng, just this car, how much is it?" Xia Yu said directly to Wang Rong without delay. Wang Rong thought for a while, and said: "This car is priced at 270,000 yuan. Since Xia Sheng is a godsend friend, you are my friend. Give me 220,000 yuan!" Xia Yu didn¡¯t counter-offer, and he didn¡¯t know whether Wang Rong was selling at a high price, but if Wang Rong was sensible, he would not pit Xia Yu, otherwise he would offend Xia Yu and Liu Tianci for the tens of thousands of dollars. not worth it. "Then thank you Wang Sheng." "By the way, I heard from Liu Sheng that you can help apply for a driver''s license here, can you get one for me?" Xia Yu asked again, this is the key question. "Xia Sheng, don''t worry, God has told me about it. It''s a trivial matter. At 4 this afternoon, I promise to help you complete all the formalities and driver''s license. You can just come and drive." Wang Rong directly booked the ticket. It seems that this is one thing. A small matter. Xia Yu''s heart moved. It seems that Wang Rong is quite capable. Combined with his present gift from such a big car dealership, it is estimated that he comes from a rich family in Hong Kong. "Thank you so much!" Xia Yu said thankfully. Next, Xia Yu went to sign a contract with Wang Rong, and then paid the car on the spot. Seeing that it was late, Xia Yu refused Wang Rong¡¯s retention and returned directly to the company. Ps: Please recommend! The next day will be difficult. It¡¯s impossible to get a good recommendation. I can¡¯t get a good recommendation this week. The new book list is only for old authors. The collection will not rise. I can only hope that the recommendation will increase. Can barely maintain the state of mind! The next week can only rely on recommended tickets to survive, everyone, please! Chapter 52: Something happened at home As soon as I joined the company, Li Qian at the front desk came over: "Boss, you were not here just now. A person named Xia Lei came to see you. He looked very anxious and said he must wait for you to come back. I am still in the reception room." Hearing Li Qian''s words, Xia Yu raised his brows, nodded and said he knew, and walked quickly towards the reception room. In the past ten days, Xia Yu left early and returned late, and had no time to meet Xia Jun and Xia Lei, so Xia Lei could not know where Xia Yu¡¯s company was. But now I found the company directly, and I seemed to be anxious when listening to Li Qian. It must have happened, and it was closely related to Xia Yu. Thinking of this, Xia Yu''s heart suddenly burst, and his steps accelerated again. "I hope nothing will happen!" Xia Yu thought in his heart. Entering the reception room, Xia Yu saw a familiar figure. At this time, Xia Lei was walking back and forth. He heard the footsteps of someone coming in, and quickly looked over. After seeing Xia Yu, he smiled on his face and walked quickly. He came over and said as he walked: "A Yu, you are finally back." "Leizi, why did you come here? What happened?" Xia Yu asked straight into the subject. "Yes, A Yu, hurry back with me, something has happened in your house!" Xia Lei said quickly with an anxious look on his face, and he took Xia Yu''s hand and walked out. Xia Yu was shocked. It was really an accident at home. He didn''t care much to ask, and quickly ran outside with Xia Lei, then drove to a car and drove home. In the car, Xia Yu''s expression was a little solemn, and he looked at Xia Lei and said, "Leizi, what happened, you first tell me what you know." "Okay, it''s like this..." Xia Lei said without ambiguity. After hearing what Xia Lei said, Xia Yu''s face became gloomy. I learned from Xia Lei that this morning, after he left, his parents went to the market to sell fish, leaving his younger brothers Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei at home. The two brothers and sisters Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei also went out to play with friends, but in Xia Ming When I went home, I found that a thief had entered my house, and someone turned the house in a mess. Then, two people came out of Xia Yu¡¯s parents¡¯ room. One of them was holding a black bag in his hand. That bag was exactly the bag Xia Yu had put in his parents for 20,000 yuan. Xia Ming recognized it and went to grab it. For the 20,000 yuan, the stolen person was slapped to the ground with a slap, and then ran away worried about Xia Ming''s shouting. When the others heard Xia Ming''s shouting, the two thieves had already disappeared. Without a trace. Later, someone called Xia Yu¡¯s parents back, and Xia Yu¡¯s parents were unsure, and the eldest son usually came back at night, so Xia Lei, who had rushed over after hearing the sound, was asked to find Xia Yu back. One out. Thinking of his brother being beaten and his parents sad, Xia Yu''s anger fluttered in his chest. At the same time, Xia Yu also blamed himself. In the past ten days, he was too busy with his business. He always thought that it would not matter if it was more than a few days. So he did not rush to buy a house and move, but he did not expect that something happened to the house as soon as he bought the house today. Can''t wait one more day! Furthermore, Xia Yu also understood the chaos in Xiangjiang more clearly, and knew everything from a glimpse. It was only yesterday that Xia Yu had made a million in the stock market. As a result, he was thief during the day today. The speed is too fast! "Leizi, do you know who did it?" Xia Yu looked at Xia Lei and asked. Xia Lei shook his head and said, "I also went there after the fact. Only when Amin saw those two people, I will find out who did this." "Well, pay more attention to the people in the nearby villages. The one who can find my house so quickly is most likely someone nearby. He took my money and beat Amin. This is endless!" Xia Yu said at the end , His face is cold. "I see, A Yu, I found people and I killed them!" Xia Lei also said with a grimace. After all, Xia Yu''s family directly helped him, and he had a good relationship with Xia Yu''s family. He also treated Xia Ming as his younger brother. Now that Xia Ming has been beaten, how could this be the case! Really, his reputation as Thunder Tiger is in vain! Hearing the conversation between Xia Yu and Xia Lei in the back seat, the driver only felt a cold neck, and his shoulders couldn''t help but tremble. Xia Yu looked at him and said, "Master, drive faster!" "Okay, okay, I''ll drive faster now." The driver responded quickly, and then stepped on the accelerator. It didn''t take long to get to the door of the house. Xia Yu directly lost a ticket and was too lazy to waste time with the driver to find change, and ran directly to the house with Xia Lei. As soon as he entered the house, Xia Yu found that the house was full of people. He glanced quickly. There were relatives in his own family and villagers living nearby, and his family was sitting in the middle, but he saw that their family members were in bad condition. . At this time, the father''s face was low, his mother''s eyes were flushed, and he hugged his younger brother Xia Ming with a sad face, and his younger sister Xia Xiaomei was close to her mother Chen Mei, and she was also disappointed. Seeing the appearance of his family, Xia Yu felt a pain in time. While blaming himself, he hated the two thieves even more. "Mom and dad, I''m back." Xia Yu shouted quickly. "A Yu, you are finally back, woo..." Chen Mei saw Xia Yu with surprise on her face, but she couldn''t help crying as soon as she spoke. This made Xia Yu''s eyes sore. "Brother!" Xia Ming yelled aggrievedly after seeing his brother Xia Yu, UU reading ''s tears rolled in his eyes, which made Xia Yu feel uncomfortable. At the same time, relatives in the house also greeted Xia Yu. Xia Yu also found Xia Jun in the middle. Xia Yu didn''t say much, nodded to them and came to his parents. Pulling over his younger brother Xia Ming, he found that his face was swollen, and there was a red palm print on it. Xia Yu''s eyes were cold, and he clenched his teeth unknowingly, and beat his younger brother like this. The thief''s hands Xia Yu will not stop! Seeing his son coming to the front, Xia Dahai''s face was full of guilt, and he sighed: "A Yu, it''s all my fault that your mother and I went out to let the thief enter the house. Not only was Amin beaten, but... The money you brought home was also stolen." When it comes to the twenty thousand yuan, Xia Dahai feels even more guilty, twenty thousand yuan! It takes at least five or six years to make money without eating or drinking at home. If you eliminate the family expenses and want to save 20,000 yuan, it will take at least ten years, but now it is gone! Although Xia Dahai knew that his son Xia Yu still had one million, he didn''t see the money, and he didn''t think about the idea of ??making that money in the past, so he didn''t regard the money as his own family property. Only the 20,000 yuan was used by the son for the family, but he didn''t expect it to be stolen in a few days. After learning the news at the time, Xia Dahai felt like the sky was spinning, and his wife Chen Mei fainted, and she had been crying since she woke up. Although all relatives and neighbors rushed over to make Xia Dahai call the police, Xia Dahai could not make up his mind. It was really too big in his opinion. His only idea was to get his elder son Xia Yu back, so he He said the name of "Jiuding Daily" and asked Xia Lei to find Xia Yu. Now, the elder son Xia Yu is back, and the tight string in Xia Dahai''s heart is slowly relaxing. Chapter 53: Borrow money? roll! "Dad, don''t be sad. If you steal the money, you will steal it. I will solve this." Xia Yu pretended not to care and comforted, trying to reduce the pressure on his parents. "I''m going to deposit in the bank in two days, who knows that the thief will be in today, hey." Xia Dahai still couldn''t think about it, feeling faceless facing her son, and said with a sigh and sigh. "Dad, I said don''t take it to heart. I can earn it again. I''m still young. Just relax." Xia Yu quickly explained again. Father¡¯s mood Xia Yu also understands. After all, the family¡¯s income is too low. Twenty thousand yuan is a huge sum of money for the family. It¡¯s gone without warming up. The feeling of gaining and losing is really very impressive. It was uncomfortable, not to mention that Xia Yu gave them the money, saying that it was the first manuscript fee. The money the son made for the first time was given to the family. The father didn''t take care of it, so he was stolen. How could Xia Dahai think about it. "Yes, Brother Hai, look open, your family A Yu is still so young, and you will earn it back soon." "Yes, Uncle Dahai, it''s okay for the family to be fine. If you don''t have any money, you can make money again. Your family A Yu can make money like this, and you can make money again." ¡­¡­ The surrounding relatives and neighbors enlightened Xia Dahai. "Uncle Hai, I will wait to register this matter in the bureau, maybe I can get the money back!" Xia Jun looked at Xia Yu, and then said to Xia Dahai. Xia Yu and Xia Jun looked at each other, and both of them understood the actual situation in their hearts. These words were only to comfort father Xia Dahai. It was too difficult to find the stolen money, and Xia Jun also went to the police station. For more than ten days, he could do many things that he didn''t want to do, but Xia Dahai didn''t know it well, so he took it as comfort to Xia Dahai, and when time passed, he probably wanted to do it. "Yes, yes, maybe I can get it back." ¡­¡­ The others hurriedly said with a drink. Hearing what they said, Xia Dahai''s face looked much better. At this moment, a somewhat sharp female voice appeared untimely: "I said Dahai, isn''t your family A Yu still earning one million? He was stolen twenty thousand. Isn''t there any more... um..." Hearing this, not only Xia Yu''s family, but also other people around looked at her. At this time, she was covered by a man who seemed to be his husband, and she always looked awkward and apologetic. The two Xia Yu knew each other, and it was a relative of her family. Xia Yu should call her cousin, but he didn''t expect to mention this matter at this time, and Xia Yu also discovered that since she said this, the house Some people here were full of flickers looking at Xia Yu, which made Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with haze. Not only Xia Yu, but even Xia Dahai and Chen Mei¡¯s expressions changed instantly. Chen Mei even said directly: ¡°What nonsense? Where did my family A Yu make a million? It¡¯s all nonsense in the newspaper. ." Hearing what Chen Mei said, the woman broke away from the man''s hand and said with a broken mouth: "Chen Mei, so many newspapers have said it, and the entire Kowloon knows how it could be fake. A Yu made so much from stocks. Money is also in vain. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s stolen twenty thousand, you won¡¯t be able to use so much money, and it¡¯s not safe to keep it. Maybe it will be stolen. We are all relatives, so it¡¯s better to borrow tens of thousands from my house. If you are rich, you can''t forget all of us, right?" "Yes, they are all relatives, they help each other." "Yes indeed¡­¡­" Aunt Biao¡¯s voice just fell, and several scattered voices sounded, but the voice was not loud, it seemed to have no confidence, or that Xia Yu¡¯s cousin was not so shameless. At this time, seeing his father and mother tremble with anger, Xia Yu''s eyes toward his cousin were full of coldness. For this cousin, how could Xia Yu not know who it was? She was acrimonious, and even his husband was bullied by her in her family, and she had a bad reputation in the village. He always liked taking advantage of others. Xia Yu also heard from his mother that he needed money for medical treatment when he was a child, and other relatives borrowed more or less, but she was nothing. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened in Xia Yu''s family now. It was obvious that her parents were in a sad mood. She didn''t even wink at all, or disregarded Xia Yu''s feelings at all, and confidently wanted to ask Xia Yu to borrow money. Xia Yu was very angry. looked at her husband, who was also his cousin, and saw that he quickly avoided Xia Yu''s gaze, his face was embarrassed, and Xia Yu sneered in his heart. His own cousin is also a cowardly person. Although he said he was afraid of his wife, he even let his wife say this, which shows that he actually has this idea in his heart. Coupled with those that echoed, Xia Yu''s mood was very bad. This kind of superb relatives and neighbors can be found everywhere. He has met and heard about it in his previous life, such as the hometown of Zhu Zhiwen, the brother of Dayi. The relatives and neighbors all asked his family to borrow money from his family. The reason is very strong. , Should be loaned to them, as for repayment? Brother Dayi is so rich in his family, what can I do for him? When he saw the interview video, Xia Yu also opened his eyes completely, realizing that people''s shamelessness has no bottom line. For this kind of person, Xia Yu hates it from the heart, so now, for his best relatives and neighbors, Xia Yu does not intend to give them a good face, and he does not give them any chance to see. As soon as Xia Yu wanted to speak, five or six people who hadn''t spoken before said to Xia Yu and Xia Dahai: "Since A Yu is back, let''s go first. There is still something in the family. If you want to help, come and call us." After finishing speaking, before Xia Yu''s family could speak, they hurriedly walked outside, and the attitude of not stopping seemed to be to draw a line from the few people who just wanted to borrow money, showing that they are not that bad Thoughts. This attitude warmed Xia Yu''s heart. After all, the relatives and neighbors in the family weren''t all that superb. There were still some people who were sensible and shameful, which made Xia Yu a little relieved. Then, standing behind Xia Yu, Xia Lei whose angry face was flushed finally couldn''t help it. He didn''t care that they were his elders anymore, and he stood up and shouted at the aunt Xia Yu''s cousin: "Look. Look at others, and then look at you. Do you still know what shame is? You are ashamed to stay here?" "A Yu, I haven''t told you just now that these people are not here to help at all. When you were away before, they didn''t care about the thief in your house I have been asking Uncle Hai, asking Whether you made a million or not, I understand it, just to wait for you to come back and ask your house to borrow money." Xia Lei said to Xia Yu again, his face full of anger. "Xia Lei, you uneducated, your dad..." Hearing Xia Lei''s words, Xia Yu''s cousin exploded her hair like a cat with her tail stepped on, and pointed at Xia Lei with her arms akimbo and began to curse. "Enough!" Hearing these ugly words, Xia Yu interrupted her with a loud yell, his eyes full of coldness. Xia Lei is his own good brother. Xia Yu knows Xia Lei. Although he doesn''t seem to care about anything and he is very strong, he is very sensitive in his heart. Especially with regard to his father, since he was a child, as long as anyone called him an uneducated child, he could fight hard with others until he was never dared to say anything. I didn''t expect that Xia Lei''s scar would be exposed directly by his own bitter cousin, how could Xia Yu tolerate it. And now Xia Lei''s red eyes and clenched fists showed that he was very angry inside, but because he was in Xia Yu''s house and the elders were still scolding him, he kept suppressing his inner anger. But Xia Yu didn''t want his brother to be wronged, not to mention Xia Yu didn''t like his aunt''s family at all. "Go out, my house does not welcome you!" Xia Yu said coldly at her, his eyes full of coldness. Ps: Ask for a recommendation. I don''t expect to collect it anymore. If I don''t go to see it, I will feel sad. If you have a vote, just vote for it. It¡¯s not necessary to send favorites and recommend red envelopes. I appreciate it, but there is no need to let everyone waste money. Editing and viewing the data will remove the red envelopes, so don¡¯t spend money to help me. Vote if you have a vote, thank you for your support! ?? There is true love in the world, and two photos are also love! Chapter 54: Finally moved Xia Yu''s cold attitude and words startled her. But she seemed to feel ashamed of being scared by a child, but somehow, looking at Xia Yu''s cold eyes, she did not dare to talk to Xia Yu, but wanted to find the place again, so she quickly looked at Xia Yu. Xia Dahai''s father, harsh words appeared again. "I said Xia Dahai. That''s how your son taught him. You don''t care if you talk to me if you are so small or small." Although Xia Dahai is honest, he has not blushed with anyone for so many years, and belongs to the kind of honest person, but he can not tolerate others saying that his son Xia Yu, the eldest son has always been his pride, at this time his relatives I didn''t take it well on my son, so I tried to force him to take care of him. Where Xia Dahai would do what he wanted, he suddenly raised his head and stared at her and shouted: "How can I teach my son that you don''t have to worry about you, you are not welcome in our family!" Seeing that his father had changed his normal and was so fierce for the first time, Xia Yu felt warm in his heart. As expected, both parents were guards of the calf. Regardless of how he was usually, he could endure being bullied, but only his child was wronged. It is absolutely unbearable, this is the parents! "You, you, Xia Dahai, your son..." Seeing Xia Dahai''s attitude, the aunt was taken aback, then flushed with anger and shouted loudly. However, before she finished speaking, Xia Yu interrupted her directly and said coldly: "Can''t you understand people? Do you want me to throw you out?" seemed to be in line with Xia Yu''s words, and Xia Lei held it with both hands and made a creak of loose bones. Seeing the tall and majestic Xia Lei''s expression on her face, she was completely scared. After all, she knew what Xia Lei was doing. She thought that Xia Lei would care about her relative''s identity, so she dared to ridicule Xia Lei. She didn''t expect that Xia Lei didn''t take her seriously, which made her Feeling scared. At this time, her husband, Xia Yu''s cousin, saw that the atmosphere in the room was not right, he smiled awkwardly at Xia Yu, said sorry again and again, and then gathered up the courage to take his wife out. Several other people with the same thoughts have been uncomfortable for a long time, and now they are also quickly following outside. For a while, the room was deserted a lot, except for Xia Yu''s family, only Xia Jun and Xia Lei were left. Xia Lei couldn''t help spitting out at the sound of cursing from outside the house, and then said to Xia Yu with an unhappy face, "A Yu, this kind of people shouldn''t give them a good look. What are they? ." "Yeah, it seems I want to punch someone." Xia Jun also followed, his expression disgusting. "This kind of people will not have much contact in the future, so I think they don''t have such relatives, I am not rare!" Xia Yu said lightly. This is his attitude, people respect him a foot, and he respects others a foot. I want to ask him to borrow money, it¡¯s not impossible, but he has a principle, that is to save the emergency not to save the poor. If it is to borrow money for medical treatment or emergency use of money, there is nothing to say. I definitely borrow it. Even if it is difficult to pay it back, I will still borrow it. But if it¡¯s because of my own poverty, I hope to borrow money to live my life, and I am confident that I want to borrow money from Xia Yu without a single hair! Lending money to this kind of gratitude, shameless white-eyed wolf, it is better to buy a bone and throw it at the stray dog, at least the stray dog ??will yell a few times to express gratitude. However, Xia Yu will not forget his roots when he develops. Many of the villages are relatives of his own. In the future, when his career grows, he can also arrange a livelihood job for them, but only those relatives who know how to be grateful. Xia Yu can I don''t want to raise a white-eyed wolf! After this incident happened today, Xia Yu is completely foreseeable. In the future, he will not even have a good reputation for his family, but he doesn''t care. He is destined to return here less and less in the future, no matter what others say. Moreover, it just happened to let time to check out who are the white-eyed wolves and who have good intentions. When Xia Yu''s company needs people, it will be better to treat them separately and save him one by one. Then, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, his mother Chen Mei hurried to cook lunch, and his sister Xia Xiaomei also went to help. Xia Jun and Xia Lei wanted to leave, but Xia Yu was left behind, saying that there was still something to do with them. Say. After eating at noon, Xia Yu said to his father Xia Dahai: "Dad, pack things up, let''s move, I have already bought the house." "Moving?" Xia Dahai was a little confused when he heard Xia Yu''s words, and did not react for a while. "Well, I have already bought the house, and I have everything in it. You can move in and live in it directly. Let''s clean up and move over." Xia Yu nodded affirmatively. At this time, the whole family including Xia Jun and Xia Lei looked at Xia Yu and realized that he was not joking. "A Yu, I can live here now, what should I do if I move over here?" Mother Chen Mei couldn''t help it, and said. "Mom, if something like this happens, can I still move right away? There will be more trouble in the future." Xia Yu explained. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mei unconsciously looked at his younger son Xia Ming, and looked at his red and swollen face after applying the medicine Chen Mei couldn¡¯t say anything. Today It¡¯s enough to happen once, so how can I hope to happen again? "Yeah, uncle and aunt, you should move. Now it is said that A Yu made a million, and I heard someone wanting to beat your house. For safety, let''s move quickly." Xia Lei interrupted. . Hearing Xia Lei''s words, Xia Yu frowned, and Xia Dahai and Chen Mei''s expressions changed. The two thieves had already made it like this. If they come again a few times, they will rob them directly and hurt their children. , How can they bear it. Therefore, Xia Dahai nodded and said, "A Yu, let''s move." "Well, take the clothes you need these days first, then take some valuable things, and no other things, you have them in the new house." Xia Yu said. Chen Mei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Xia Dahai stopped her directly, and said, "Listen to A Yu. Get clothes and important things first." "Brother Jun, Leizi, you can also help bring some things, by the way, recognize the way, you can find me when you find me." Xia Yu looked at Xia Jun and Xia Lei. "no problem." Xia Jun and Xia Lei nodded again and again to indicate that there was no problem. Then, the family began to get busy. Although Xia Yu said not to bring a lot of things, his mother Chen Mei was frugal and couldn''t help but pack a lot of miscellaneous things. Xia Yu had no choice but to tell his mother again that Chen Mei only packed some urgent clothes. . Then, the family went directly to the main road outside with their things. When they met villagers on the way, Xia Yu''s family just said a few words and ignored them. Finally, after waiting for the two cars, everyone drove to the new home bought by Xia Yu. Chapter 55: out on a limb It didn''t take long for the car to arrive outside the complex. After checking Xia Yu''s information, the security opened the door to let the car in. As soon as I entered, the scenery outside the window changed significantly. The road was spacious, with trees on both sides of the road, and occasionally one could see a series of mansions, which made Xia father and Xia mother who had never seen such a house before. Everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, under Xia Yu''s guidance, the car stopped outside a house. After unloading things, she looked at the two-story bungalow in front of her. Xia Xiaomei took Xia Yu''s hand and said expectantly: "Brother, Is this our new home?" Looking at the sister''s expectant expression, Xia Yu smiled and touched her head, and said: "Yes! This is the new home, let''s go in." After speaking, Xia Yu took his sister''s hand and walked up the steps, then took out the key and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the exquisite house appeared in front of everyone. The eye is the living room. A crystal chandelier is hung on the roof. A layer of white porcelain is laid on the floor. A large exquisite coffee table is placed in the living room. The coffee table is surrounded by leather sofas, and exquisite curtains hang in front of the glass windows. Pasted with light gold patterned wallpaper, there is an oversized TV set on the TV cabinet directly opposite the sofa. The scene in front of him shocked everyone except Xia Yu, who stood at the door and dared not come in. "Parents, Brother Jun, Lei Zi, you all come in!" Xia Yu saw that everyone was afraid to come in, said to them with a smile, and took the lead to walk home. Seeing Xia Yu really entered, Xia Fu and other talents followed in, but they walked a little cautiously. "Wow, there is such a big TV, I have never seen it before!" Xia Ming stared at the TV with wide eyes, and sighed in surprise, as if he could not feel the pain in his face. "Come on, Brother Jun, Leizi, put things down first, sit down first. Mom and Dad, don''t stand up, sit down first." Xia Yu called them to come and sit down on the sofa. Father Xia and Mother Xia had never sat on the sofa. When they sat down at this time, the sofa sank, which also scared them. They didn''t stand up until they found out that their son Xia Yu was sitting on it. The feeling surprised them, and Xia Mu Chen Mei couldn''t help feeling around on the sofa. Xia Yu first poured a glass of water for everyone, and then couldn¡¯t sit still. The younger brother and sister who looked around and looked around smiled and said, ¡°Aming, Xiaomei, there are 8 rooms here, 5 upstairs and 3 downstairs. , You can go upstairs and choose a room, one for each person." "Brother, really?" Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei asked in surprise. "Go." Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Then, Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei exclaimed, and then ran upstairs. After all, he is still a child, not as much as adults think, so when he arrives at his new home, he will not be so restrained, worried about this and that. "Go, A Yu, go and see how your house is." Xia Jun started to take a sip of water. He was also a little curious about what Xia Yu''s new home was like. So far, only the exterior and the living room have been seen. Want to see other places. "Yeah, A Yu, go and take a look first." Xia Dahai also followed, and he also wanted to see what this new home was like, and his heart itch. "Let''s go then." Seeing that everyone wanted to see it, Xia Yu stood up and said to everyone. "This is the kitchen." "Such a big kitchen, there are so many appliances, how to use this, I have never used it." "This is the bedroom..." ¡­¡­ Next, Xia Yu took everyone from downstairs to upstairs for a stroll. The rooms for parents, siblings, and sisters were also selected. After sitting back on the sofa, everyone was still full of emotion. "A Yu, you are really a mansion. It is so big and comfortable to live in! How big is it?" Xia Jun said with emotion. "It''s about two thousand six hundred feet." Xia Yu said with a smile. "My God, it really is a mansion. I heard that the average mansion is more than a thousand feet. I didn''t expect your place to be twice as big." Xia Jun''s face was full of surprise and emotion. "A Yu, this house is so big, how much did it cost?" Mother Chen Mei was still more concerned about money and asked La Xia Yu. Hearing Chen Mei¡¯s question, other people also looked at Xia Yu, and wanted to hear how much such a large mansion cost. looked around and looked at everyone''s curiosity, Xia Yu smiled: "It just happened to cost a million Hong Kong dollars." "One million! So expensive!" Xia Lei exclaimed with wide eyes. Others were also frightened by the price, and Xia Jun even sighed: "My salary is only more than 400 a month. If I want to buy this house, I have to eat or drink for hundreds of years! A Yu, awesome! " "Brother, you are so amazing!" Xia Ming looked at her brother Xia Yu with an admiration face and said. Although Xia Xiaomei did not speak, she agreed to point her head, her eyes full of worship. "Uncle, aunt, you will follow A Yu to enjoy the blessing in the future." Xia Lei said to Xia Dahai and Chen Mei who were still in shock. Xia Dahai came back to her senses, opened her mouth with a grin, nodded repeatedly, and looked at her elder son Xia Yu with pride and pride. Mother Chen Mei was sobbing happily. There are too many things that happened today, from great sadness to great joy. Now there is a one million mansion in the family, which makes Chen Mei feel like a dream. The elder son took care of the matter, leaving only pride and joy in Chen Mei''s heart. Then, Xia Yu began to teach his family how to use electrical appliances, especially kitchen appliances. After all, the family used to burn wood for cooking before. These kitchen and bathroom appliances were completely unfamiliar to Xia Dahai and others. Xia Yu taught many times. Reluctantly teach them to use. Then, everyone began to clean up the room and put away the things they had brought. Originally saw that the clothes of his parents and siblings were so old, Xia Yu wanted to take them to buy clothes, but it was not convenient for the family to go out without a car. Xia Yu thought about it, and waited until the afternoon to mention the car. Take them to buy clothes at night. When it was almost time, Xia Jun and Xia Lei asked to leave. Xia Yu asked his parents to stay at home, and then went out with Xia Jun and went directly to the car dealer to pick up the car. When Xia Jun and Xia Lei sat on the Mercedes-Benz, the two sighed again. Then, Xia Yu drove directly to the bank, took out 60,000 yuan, and returned to the car. Xia Yu looked at Xia Lei with a serious expression: "Leizi, can you quit now? The mixed clubs are too dangerous. That is to live with your head on your waistband." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Xia Jun also followed and persuaded Xia Lei: "Yes, Leizi, now there are societies everywhere in Xiangjiang, and killings happen from time to time. A Yu and I don''t want you to have trouble." Seeing Xia Jun and Xia Yu caring about him so much, Xia Lei was moved in his heart, but his face was bitter. He looked at Xia Jun and Xia Yu helplessly, and slowly said, "Brother Jun, A Yu, it''s too late. I have already carried a few lives on my body, and the situation in the meeting is very complicated. I have no way out." "Why?" Xia Jun blurted out, staring at Xia Lei, hoping that what he said was false. After all, the few lives on his back are not a joke, he can be a policeman. Catch him, but Xia Lei is the brother he grew up with when he was a child, how could he get his hands to catch Xia Lei. Xia Yu also had a dignified expression. He took out the 60,000 yuan and said to Xia Lei: "Leizi, I have 60,000 yuan here. It is not enough for you to withdraw from the meeting. If it is not enough, I still have money. I just hope you are safe. Yes, none of our three brothers can have an accident." Seeing the 60,000 yuan, Xia Jun and Xia Lei were also shocked. It was the first time that they saw so much money in front of them. Xia Jun quickly turned his attention from the front and held Xia Lei''s shoulders and said with concern: "Leizi, A Yu has money. This money is enough for you to retire from the meeting. For safety, you should withdraw." Seeing the sincere care of Xia Jun and Xia Yu, Xia Lei was touched and helpless at the same time. His face was full of bitterness. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jun, Yu, I''m sorry, it''s true. I can¡¯t retreat. I have dared to fight for the past year. Now I am a red stick in the club, and I have grievances with several other societies. As long as I quit, it¡¯s time for me to die." Upon hearing Xia Lei''s words, Xia Yu and Xia Jun were both silent, and their only hope was shattered. Xia Lei said that the situation is indeed very serious. Only the best able to fight can be the red stick of a club, plus a few lives on the back, don¡¯t think that these lives belong to other clubs. Staying in the meeting, other associations did not dare to retaliate, but as long as Xia Lei withdrew from the meeting, one person would be weak, and it was not for them to kill! Therefore, withdrawing from the meeting is immediately dangerous, and not withdrawing from the meeting is likely to be dangerous in the future. Of course, Xia Yu can tell which is lighter and heavier. "Hey..." Xia Yu couldn''t help sighing. PS: Thousands of rivers and mountains are always in love, can you vote for it? Chapter 56: Right arm Hearing Xia Yu''s sigh and looking at Xia Jun''s disappointed expression, Xia Lei felt very uncomfortable. He knew that the two brothers were for his good, but he had no choice. Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Xia Lei suddenly swept away his frustration, grinning with white teeth and grinning: "A Yu, in fact, it''s good for me to be a tycoon. You are going to be a tycoon. Now Xiangjiang is so chaotic. There will be some trouble, and then I can help you solve the trouble." Xia Lei''s sudden words made Xia Yu and Xia Jun stunned. Looking at Xia Lei who showed a hearty smile, Xia Yu''s heart trembled, and he pursed his lips but couldn''t speak. Xia Jun patted Xia Lei on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other. Xia Jun was silent for a while, smiled again, and then persuaded Xia Yu: "Yeah, Ayu, Leizi is right, you are If you want to be a tycoon, now you have such a strong net worth, you will definitely make more money in the future. Someone will always help you handle some things. You still have to be a reliable person. Leizi is the most suitable." "Yeah, A Yu, don''t worry, I will definitely climb up in the future and be a big boss. I will cut him off if anyone dares to trouble you at that time!" Xia Lei patted his chest and said, eyes full of determination. "Yes, Ayu, there is thunder on the road, and I will climb up. When the time comes, you will find me on the white road. Now which tycoon has no power on the black and white roads, we are grassroots, and it is not good to say how high we can climb. , But I will do my best to help you, if I can be the Chief Inspector of China, I see who dares to trouble you!" Xia Jun also said proudly. Seeing the changes between Xia Jun and Xia Lei, Xia Yu couldn''t turn around a bit. Just now, he clearly tried to persuade Xia Lei to withdraw. Xia Jun also agreed. How could it suddenly become the current oath meeting? The army jumped to Xia Lei''s side, but persuaded him instead. But I have to say that Xia Yu''s heart is full of emotions, and he is indeed a brother who grew up together. He was worried that Xia Jun and Xia Lei were mixed black and white and it was difficult to clean up. He didn''t expect the two of them now. But he wanted to be his black and white hands just to better protect him. This made him feel mixed, and it was very uncomfortable as if something was stuck in his throat. "A Yu, didn''t we say that we are going to the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel to see Victoria Harbour. Brother Jun and I have no such skills. We can only rely on you to take us up." Xia Lei grinned and continued to persuade Xia Yu . "Yes, A Yu, we know our own abilities, we can only rely on you if we want to go up!" Xia Jun also followed with a smile. Xia Yu opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he was rich now and could go to the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel to see Victoria Harbour at any time. However, he swallowed it when the words reached his lips. It is not appropriate to say this now. He also knows that Xia Jun and Xia Lei''s words about Shang Peninsula Hotel are just an excuse to better persuade him, so if he says These words will make them feel dilemma. Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu looked at Xia Jun and Xia Lei and found that their eyes were full of expectation and determination. He knew that their hearts had been resolved, and Xia Yu finally made up his mind. Since both Xia Jun and Xia Lei wanted to climb up to help him, then Xia Yu was not going to eat dry food, so he pushed them up. Didn''t the two of them say that they didn''t report hope to themselves, so they could only rely on him to get to the Peninsula Hotel? He allowed them to be greeted upright in the future. "Okay, Chief Inspector Xia, Godfather Xia, I will rely on you for the affairs of Tycoon Xia in the future!" Xia Yu swept away the haze, his chest burst into arrogance, his right hand clenched a fist and stretched out between the three of them, said with a smile, and joked that they As the chief detective and godfather, he calls himself a tycoon. Seeing Xia Yu''s actions and hearing Xia Yu''s title to them, Xia Jun and Xia Lei suddenly laughed. They knew that Xia Yu had agreed to their ideas, and the two also stretched their fists together and said loudly. "Daheng Xia, don''t worry, this matter is covered by my inspector Xia." "Daheng Xia, don''t worry, there is no problem with Godfather Xia!" "Hahaha!" After ¡¡¡¡ said, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. Between the laughs, an agreement was formed. After laughing, Xia Yu suddenly thought of something and picked up the sixty thousand yuan. He originally planned to give Xia Jun and Xia Lei, but now the money given to Xia Lei needs to be changed. Xia Yu first gave out 20,000 yuan to Xia Lei. Xia Lei followed in a daze, looking at Xia Yu strangely: "A Yu, what do you give me for? I don¡¯t want your money. You need money for business, and I use it for me. Won''t come out." After finishing speaking, Xia Lei wanted to return the money to Xia Yu again, but Xia Yu stopped him: "Leizi, take it, you listen to me." Xia Lei stopped moving and looked straight at Xia Yu, wanting to hear what he said. "Since you have decided to continue mixing, you always need some younger brothers to help you do things. It is impossible to rush forward by yourself. This is also very dangerous. You can take the money and bring in more brothers. They do it, and your mother is not in good health. Buy more supplements to replenish her body. You should also eat better and keep growing. From now on, I will give you another 20,000 yuan every month. If you need money, ask again. I take it, and you must not be polite with me." Xia Yu said. Hearing what Xia Yu said, Xia Lei did not shirk any more. He has been around for more than a year. He also knows that if he wants more brothers, he must be able to drink spicy food with him. So if he has money, he definitely You can have greater power and climb better. Only by climbing higher can you better help Xia Yu. Therefore, he nodded heavily and said: "A Yu, rest assured, I will accept the money. , Will not let you down!" Xia Yu didn''t say much, patted him on the shoulder, then took another 20,000 yuan and handed it to Xia Jun. Xia Jun didn''t refuse, he took it directly, he thought more things than Xia Lei, his brain was smarter, and he understood many things without being told by others. He knew that he needed money to climb up. If he relied solely on his own ability, Xia Jun would not have any confidence to climb up, but if he had Xia Yu''s support, he would have greater confidence. And he also knows that only by climbing higher by himself can he give others a greater shock, better help Xia Yu, and protect Xia Yu''s career. "Don''t worry, Ayu, I understand that people are so worldly. I just went to the police station, so I took the opportunity to have a good relationship with them. If I need to spend money in the future, I won''t be polite to you." Xia Jun said solemnly. When he said that he needed money, he didn¡¯t need to say clearly what Xia Yu was referring to, that is, when there was a vacancy on it, he needed money to buy a place. Xia Yu didn¡¯t say much to Xia Jun, and then he again took the remaining 20,000 yuan and handed it to Xia Lei. This time Xia Lei didn¡¯t pick it up, but declined, ¡°A Yu, you have already given me two. Ten thousand is enough!" He and Xia Jun each took the twenty thousand that Xia Yu gave, and now Xia Yu gave him another twenty thousand, Xia Lei did not dare to take it. "Don''t think so much, Brother Jun is not so careful." Of course Xia Yu knew what he was worried about, so he scolded him with a smile. Xia Jun also gave him a punch and cursed: "Leizi, my brain is broken after a year of mixing, am I such a stingy person?" "Hey, I was wrong, I was wrong." Xia Lei laughed awkwardly, but still didn''t dare to accept the money. Seeing that Xia Lei didn''t dare to accept the money if he couldn''t make it clear, Xia Yu explained, "Take it. This money is not for you. There is no end to this morning!" When Xia Yu mentioned what happened in the morning, both Xia Jun and Xia Lei became quiet and looked at what Xia Yu said. "Leizi, take the money and offer a reward on the road. Today, who went to my house to steal the money and caught the two people. Then tell me that he stole my money and beat Amin. UU reading I want their hands! At the same time, I also want to get rid of other people''s ideas. If I dare to trouble me, I can spend money to make them pay!" Xia Yu said to Xia Lei, and finally showed his face Ruthless. Twenty thousand yuan is not only to vent their anger for his younger brother Xia Ming, but also to establish power, so that people in the community know that Xia Yu is not muddled, and dare not trouble him in a short time. Waiting for Xia Yu to solve his own security problem during this period, the people in the community would not have any thoughts at that time. It can be said that Xia Yu is spending money to buy time buffer. He really intuitively felt the chaos in Xiangjiang, and the security issue has become more and more urgent. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Xia Lei also showed a cruel expression: "A Yu, don''t worry, you can beat Aming, and you dare to steal your money, how can you not pay the price!" "Leizi, if you find someone, tell me that if you don''t let them squat for ten or eight years, I won''t be surnamed Xia!" Xia Jun also followed. "Okay, Ayu, Brother Jun, don''t worry, I''ll go back and offer a reward later, and then arrange someone to find someone. I absolutely must find the person." Xia Lei nodded heavily. Then, without saying much, Xia Yu started the car and drove the two to where they were going. After sending Xia Jun and Xia Lei to get out of the car, looking at their backs, Xia Yu was silent for a long time thinking of what happened in the car. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief: "That''s fine, Brother Jun and Leizi They have all become things for me, so the possible risks between them are eliminated, and they can really help me a lot." "I just hope Leizi won''t have any trouble!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and murmured: ¡®¡¯ Otherwise, if something goes wrong with either of my two brothers, I will never give up! " Ps: Don¡¯t forget to vote after watching (''-¦Ø-`) Chapter 57: "Financial Times" After ¡¡¡¡, seeing that there was still some off-duty time away from the company, Xia Yu drove back to the company to handle the affairs. After all, he was running outside all day, and there should be some things waiting for him to take care of himself. Not long after I got to the office and sat down, the head of the editorial department, Zhao Cheng, knocked on the door and walked in. He passed the stack of documents in his hand to Xia Yu and said: "Boss, since the vice president recruitment announcement was issued, this is Take a look at the resumes received so far." "Hmm!" Xia Yu nodded, then picked up his resume and looked at it seriously. After reading his resume several times, the disappointment on Xia Yu''s face became more and more obvious, and he couldn''t help shaking his head. The quality of the talents for these resumes is not high, and they don¡¯t have the experience of serving as middle and upper management in big newspapers. Moreover, the type of newspapers they have worked in before is different from that of Jiuding Daily, so in Xia Yu¡¯s opinion, they are not Not suitable for his standards. Despite disappointment, Xia Yu kept looking down, hoping to find a suitable person. It''s a pity that after reading more than a dozen resumes, he was still not satisfied. In the end, he somewhat doubted whether his standards were too high. At this moment, Xia Yu saw the last resume, his eyes condensed, and he looked at it seriously. Yan Wenhan, male, 30 years old this year, studied at Oxford University in the UK, majoring in journalism and finance, and worked in the Financial Times for five years after graduation. He has served as a journalist, editor, and deputy head of the editorial department. Due to personal reasons, he resigned and returned to Hong Kong one month ago. Seeing this resume, Xia Yu is very satisfied, and has made up his mind to let him come for an interview tomorrow. If the interview situation is also possible, the position of vice president will be given to him. There are actually reasons why Xia Yu values ??this man named Yan Wenhan so much. Because Xia Yu has the memory of the CEO of Warner in later generations, it can be said that the CEO is the pinnacle of the media industry, and he knows all major media in the media industry, and that CEO also happens to be British. The local newspapers in the UK are even more familiar. Among them, he has a deep understanding of the British Financial Times. The Financial Times is a world-renowned international financial media founded by James Sheridan and his brothers in 1888. The newspaper was published simultaneously in London, Frankfurt, New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Madrid, Hong Kong and other places, with a daily circulation of about 450,000 copies, 70% of which are distributed in more than 140 countries outside the UK. The newspaper provides readers with global economic and commercial information, economic analysis and commentary. The financial index of the London stock market created by the newspaper is even more famous. It is a leading global financial newspaper with more than 1.6 million readers in four print editions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, and its main website has as many as 3.9 million online readers every month . Ranked fifth in influence among future global financial newspapers. Now the British "Financial Times" is in the hands of the British Pearson Group, but in July 2015, it was bought by the island nation¡¯s Nikkei at a price of 844 million pounds. And Yan Wenhan was able to enter the "Financial Times" as soon as he graduated, and as a Chinese, he took the position of deputy head of the editorial department before the age of 30, which shows his strong ability. In addition to his own ability, Yan Wenhan''s previous work experience is also very suitable for "Jiuding Daily". Because "Jiuding Daily" itself is based on financial news, Xia Yu cannot always focus on "Jiuding Daily", so he needs a person who is familiar with both financial and media fields to assist him, and even accept it later. His class. And the "Financial Times" is a professional financial media. It is very professional in financial business information. In addition, the "Financial Times" was founded in 1888, and it has been 90 years since 1978. Yan Wenhan has honed in it. In five years, he must have learned a lot of knowledge. Such a talent returns to Xiangjiang, and it is foreseeable that he will not be at the helm of the major newspapers in Xiangjiang in terms of ability and vision. Moreover, because the "Financial Times" itself is a global newspaper, Yan Wenhan has come into contact with things, understands various insider processes, contacts and other aspects. If he serves as the vice president or even the president of "Jiuding Daily", In the future, "Jiuding Daily" will play a very important role in its international expansion. It is precisely for these reasons that Xia Yu has a particularly good impression of Yan Wenhan. "I hope the interview tomorrow will not let me down..." Looking at the resume in his hand, Xia Yu muttered expectantly. Then, Xia Yu didn''t want to wait anymore, so he directly asked Zhao Cheng to call Yan Wenhan and let him come to the company for an interview at 10 o''clock tomorrow morning. After ¡¡¡¡, he was busy again for a while, and when he got off work, Xia Yu drove home. After returning home, after seeing Xia Yu¡¯s luxury car, the family sighed again. Xia Yu explained that he did not say much, and then let the family get in the car. He was going to take the whole family to eat out and buy it for the family. clothes. spent the night in this busy day, halfway through buying clothes, because Xia Yu took it to a more high-end clothing store. The prices of the clothes were higher, but the quality and style were better. The family members were very satisfied with the clothes sold in that store, but they were shocked when they learned about the price of the clothes. The parents even more distressedly wanted to change Xia Yu to another store, but Xia Yu did not agree and forced it. I bought clothes for my parents there. On the way home, Xia Mu Chenmei kept lamenting that it was too expensive But the joy in her eyes could not hide her joy, and she looked at Xia Yu with pride. . When he returned home, Xia Yu had time to clean up the room, put the items in the way he looked comfortable, then took out the notebook and began to write "Xun Qin Ji". Over the past ten days, because the company¡¯s staff has continued to increase, the scale of "Jiuding Daily" has also become larger and larger, which has led to more and more things for the company. In addition, stock trading has cost him time and energy, resulting in so many days. He only copied a manuscript of less than 200,000 words, plus the 480,000-word manuscript he copied before, only about 600,000 words, which is one million words short of the complete copy of "Xun Qin Ji". In addition, for more than ten days, there is still no satisfactory novel included. As a result, only Xia Yu''s "Xun Qin Ji" has been published. It is published every day with 20,000 words. It will not last long. Xia Yu is also under great pressure. This feeling of being forced by the situation made Xia Yu very upset. Xia Yu has made up his mind. Tomorrow, let Zhao Cheng edit a piece of essay information. The high price essay will not believe that the big price will not catch a big fish! Moreover, if the Yan Wenhan interviewing tomorrow succeeds in taking the job, Xia Yu will also be free from his busy schedule and have more time to copy "Xun Qin Ji". Xia Yu stopped writing and fell asleep until about eleven o¡¯clock... ps: In the past few days, the body feels uncomfortable, the side effects of the medicine are too great, which causes the state to be wrong, and the writing is not good. I feel that I am not passionate when I write it. I guess the plot will not be good. Please forgive me! Thank you! Ps: A character recommended by a book friend, and the protagonist¡¯s capable guy has come out. Welcome everyone to recommend roles in Longtaolou! Finally, sell cute and ask for a recommendation ticket©c(£þ§Õ£þ;)¥Î Chapter 58: Yan Wenhan joins Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to the company and got busy. When it was almost 9:30, Li Qian at the front desk came in and told Xia Yu that a person named Yan Wenhan was coming for an interview, and Xia Yu quickly asked Li Qian to call in. Looking at a middle-aged man sitting across from him, Xia Yu slightly raised his head, and his impression of him improved again. Yan Wenhan wears a formal suit and a pair of gold-wire glasses. He looks gentle, but a sense of confidence radiates from him. When he smiles, he gives people a feeling of spring breeze. This image Xia Yu was very satisfied. But Xia Yu is not looking for a male model, but a vice president who is really talented and learning. Ability is the key point, so Xia Yu started the interview process. "Yan Sheng..." ¡­¡­ After a lot of correct answers, no matter what question Xia Yu asked, Yan Wenhan was able to answer at least a rough idea, and when it came to questions about financial and media knowledge, Yan Wenhan answered very incisively, making Xia Yu very Satisfied, he is indeed a person with real ability, and the situation exactly matches the resume. In the end, Xia Yu looked at his resume, hesitated, and finally asked again: "Yan Sheng, take the liberty to ask, why did you leave the Financial Times and return to Hong Kong?" Yan Wenhan smiled involuntarily and said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing to say, my wife is pregnant, but she can¡¯t stand the London climate due to her physique, so for her, I resigned and returned.¡± When talking about his wife, Yan Wenhan showed a happy expression unconsciously. "Yan Sheng, congratulations!" Xia Yu also smiled and congratulated. He was more satisfied with Yan Wenhan. After all, it can be seen from this that he is a person who cares for his family and can accommodate his wife. This kind of person emphasizes feelings and affection. Of course appreciate. "Thank you!" Yan Wenhan smiled and nodded slightly to express his gratitude. "Then, let''s talk about your treatment and responsibilities in the end. I don''t know what you want?" Xia Yu said again. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, it was about his own interests. Yan Wenhan straightened up and said, "For the salary issue, I hope that the annual salary can be no less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. There are no other requirements." Hearing Yan Wenhan''s request, Xia Yu was a little surprised. It was not that he was surprised that his salary was high, but that his salary was too low. The annual salary is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. Even if the year-end bonus is not included, the monthly salary is only more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars. Although it is more than ten times the current average wage of workers, you must know that Yan Wenhan¡¯s position is a management post, which belongs to the "Jiuding Daily" For the second in command, the salary is low. Furthermore, the salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, converted into pounds, is definitely not as good as Yan Wenhan¡¯s salary in the Financial Times. After all, the economic level of Xiangjiang is not as good as that of London, England. What''s more, Xia Yu also knows that the salary of the associate editor of other newspapers, such as the associate editor of "Sing Tao Daily", is 60,000 yuan, which is 10,000 yuan higher than the annual salary proposed by Yan Wenhan. But you must know that the sales of Jiuding Daily are more than 100,000 higher than that of Sing Tao Daily. The salary increase is based on the actual situation of Xiangjiang. It is really pragmatic, knows how to advance and retreat, not greedy! This is another impression of Xia Yu on Yan Wenhan. But Xia Yu can''t really give Yan Wenhan an annual salary of 50,000. The "Jiuding Daily" can''t afford to lose this person, and people who don''t know will say Xia Yu stings. Moreover, Yan Wenhan himself is a talent. In order to win over this talent and let him serve him more loyally, Xia Yu will definitely offer high salaries to prevent him from quitting in the future. "Yan Sheng, your request is too low." Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan and said with a smile. Yan Wenhan raised his eyebrows, couldn''t help holding the frame of the glasses, and smiled. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to say that. This made his impression of Xia Yu a lot better. He has been back to Xiangjiang for more than a month and has been with his wife at home, but in his free time he still instinctively pays attention to the media industry. Therefore, he also paid attention to the soaring "Jiuding Daily", and he also knew about the "Jiuding Daily" The boss is a genius boy. Yan Wenhan himself has studied finance, and he has not missed almost every article on Xia Yu in the "Jiuding Daily". He believes that his financial accomplishments are not as good as Xia Yu, so for Xia Yu, he Although I have never seen it before, I admire it from the bottom of my heart. Because of this, after the "Jiuding Daily" issued a job advertisement, Yan Wenhan knew it immediately, and after thinking about it, he decided to apply. I didn''t expect that from now on, this young boss not only has outstanding ability, but also seems very angry. "In this way, your basic salary remains unchanged, which is 50,000, but I will give you a 1% dividend." Xia Yu pointed at Yan Wenhan with a finger, and then watched his expression change. As Xia Yu expected, Yan Wenhan''s eyes widened. After seeing that Xia Yu was not joking, he smiled with satisfaction and repeatedly said, "Thank you for your good looks. I am very satisfied with this treatment." According to the current advertising income of "Jiuding Daily", the 1% dividend will be able to reach more than 12 million in one year, and 1% will be 120,000, and it will definitely be more in the future, plus its own There will be income from newspaper sales, plus his own annual salary of 50,000, so that he can get a salary of about 200,000 a year, which is four times his request, which is really beyond his expectation. . I didn''t expect Xia Yu to be so generous, and he valued him so much! At this moment, Xia Yu¡¯s impression in Yan Wenhan¡¯s mind rose sharply, and at the same time, a thought of dying for a confidant appeared in his mind Seeing the change in Yan Wenhan¡¯s expression, Xia Yu was very satisfied. This effect. Even though he paid an extra price of about 150,000 yuan, Xia Yu didn''t feel it wasted, because in Xia Yu''s view, Yan Wenhan was indeed worth the treatment, and Yan Wenhan''s ability was recognized by him. The extra 150,000 money allows Yan Wenhan to be more engaged in work, and he can definitely create more benefits for Xia Yu. If Yan Wenhan could not help him create more value in Xia Yu''s opinion, how could he give Yan Wenhan such a high treatment? Xia Yu is not a wealthy boy, so it is impossible to do such a thing. Moreover, even if Yan Wenhan disappointed him later, Xia Yu gave only one percent of the dividend rights, not equity, and Yan Wenhan could not take it away. He could only get dividends when he was in office. If he wanted to get more If you pay more dividends, you can only work hard to develop the "Jiuding Daily". It can be said that Xia Yu painted a pie within reach of Yan Wenhan, forcing Yan Wenhan to work harder. "Well, Jiuding Newspaper Company welcomes you!" Xia Yu stood up and reached out to Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan quickly stood up and shook hands with Xia Yu, then bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, boss!" Seeing that Yan Wenhan changed his attitude so naturally, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said again: "Although you are the vice president, you have the right to understand all the affairs of the company, and you have the right to directly deal with some unimportant things. , Don¡¯t bother me, and hope you can get started as soon as possible and take the burden from me." "Good boss, don''t worry!" Yan Wenhan nodded confidently. "Well, I believe you, let''s go, follow me, I will take you to meet other people in the company..." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu took Yan Wenhan and walked outside. Chapter 59: cost Yan Wenhan entered the post in the afternoon. He is worthy of being a person Xia Yu values. He understands many things very well. There is no need for a transition period. Some simple tasks can be started quickly. In this way, Xia Yu is relieved instantly. Less, and there is time to deal with other things, such as stocks. once again came to the Kowloon Stock Exchange, Xia Yu went straight to the HSBC seat, sure enough, on Friday afternoon, Liu Tianci was here. "Liu Sheng, good afternoon!" Xia Yu walked over to say hello to Liu Tianci. "Xia Sheng, hello!" Seeing Xia Yu, Liu Tianci smiled happily, put aside his things and greeted him. "Liu Sheng, thank you for your help. I bought the car yesterday. I have something to do this morning, so I didn''t come over. Now I come over and say to you, thank you. Thank you for helping me!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Haha, little things, we are all friends, we should." Liu Tianci waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing Liu Tianci¡¯s expression a little unhappy, Xia Yu smiled and did not say more, and then talked about his own funds: "Liu Sheng, let me take a look at my stock." "Xia Sheng, you made another profit. Now your capital is 8 million. That''s amazing!" Liu Tianci led Xia Yu towards a place and said to Xia Yu as he walked. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, but he didn''t expect that he had eight million in funds. After thinking about it, he felt normal. Although Xia Yu spent one million on buying a house and another two hundred and twenty thousand on buying a car, he gave Xia Jun and Xia Lei a total of 60,000, plus the 20,000 that he took out, and he took a total of one. One million and three hundred thousand. And his total capital was 7 million before. After removing 1.3 million, there should be 5.7 million left, not 8 million. There is a difference of 2.3 million. However, in the past few days, Xia Yu has money to enter the market again. First of all, the company¡¯s advertising revenue. Except for the emergency fund of 220,000, all the remaining 800,000 funds were thrown into the stock market. Then Liu Godsend¡¯s apology returned nearly 400,000 yuan, which adds up to 1.2 million. The remaining 1.1 million is earned from stock trading in the past few days, so it is not surprising that there are 8 million in total. Since today is Friday and the market will be closed two days after tomorrow, Xia Yu just used this time to raise the funds and reintegrate the principal for the next operation. "Liu Sheng, please help me withdraw the funds today." Xia Yu said to Liu Tianci. "Okay, one little thing." Liu Tianci nodded. Then, Xia Yu and Liu Tianci had a chat and left the Kowloon Stock Exchange under the pretext that the company had something to do. When I was about to get off work, Xia Yu just wanted to drive home, only to find that Xia Lei had come to the company to look for him again, and Xia Yu hurried over. "Leizi, why are you here, what''s the matter?" Xia Yu asked. "A Yu, the man has been caught, and I am locked up now." Xia Lei looked around, and then whispered in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu was startled, and then there was joy on his face, and he patted Xia Lei on the shoulder and said happily, "Leizi, you have it!" "Hehe!" Xia Lei touched his head and laughed. He didn''t expect to catch the person so soon. He can only say that Xia Yu''s 20,000 yuan is good. He just issued a reward last night, and he was arrested today. Live and give it to him. "Where are people now? Will they be discovered by others?" Xia Yu asked again. "Don''t worry, A Yu, I have moved the person to another place, and my brothers are guarding there. I can''t run away." Xia Lei said, patting his chest. "That''s fine, don¡¯t worry, go over immediately. Now it¡¯s time for dinner. My parents are expected to wait for me to eat at home. You can go with me. After dinner, we will go there at night." Xia Yu thought for a while. Ray said. "Okay, listen to you!" Next, Xia Yu drove Xia Lei and drove home. When the meal was over, Xia Yu found an excuse to say that there was something wrong with the company, so he took Xia Lei out again, and the destination was Xia Lei''s Tibetan place. The car turned around and drove to a remote place. After stopping, Xia Yu followed Xia Lei towards an abandoned house. "Big Brother!" As soon as he entered the house, Xia Yu saw the four guarding two people who were blindfolded and sealed with their mouths. After seeing Xia Lei, the four hurriedly bent over and shouted. Xia Lei nodded at them, and then wanted to introduce Xia Yu to them, but saw Xia Yu shook his head slightly. Although he didn''t know why Xia Yu wouldn''t let him introduce him, he didn''t ask too much. He followed Xia Yu''s meaning and brought him directly. Xia Yu walked in front of these two people. "Are they two?" Xia Yu asked, looking at the two people who had obviously been beaten. "Hmm!" Xia Lei nodded, and then said to his brother, "Untie their cloth and tape." Hearing Xia Lei''s words, the two subordinates quickly untied the blindfolds of the two blindfolded people, and the sudden appearance of light caused the two tied thieves to blink their eyes to adapt. "what!" Then, the two grabbed the tape and pulled it forcefully, and the two thieves screamed one after another. "Big brother, let us go! We know that we were wrong, forgive me, forgive me..." The two thieves immediately pleaded when they saw the people around them and knew their situation. "What are you shouting, you are not allowed to speak without letting you speak, do you hear?" Seeing Xia Lei frowned, a younger brother hurriedly kicked the two thieves who were begging, and then shouted angrily. "I heard it." The two thieves wailed, resisting the pain and dared not speak any more, but looked at Xia Yu and Xia Lei with pleading, but how could Xia Lei and Xia Yu be moved. "Who let you steal the money?" Xia Yu looked at them condescendingly, and said lightly. "Our boss asked us to go. The money has been given to our boss. It''s not with us, boss, I was wrong, let me go..." One of them rushed to answer. Xia Yu frowned and looked at Xia Lei. Xia Lei nodded and asked, "Who is your boss? Which club are you from?" "Our boss is a strong scar. We are the black shark." "Is the scar strong?" Xia Lei wrinkled his brows and his face was cruel. Seeing Xia Yu''s doubts, Xia Lei explained: "The black shark will happen to be the enemy of our fierce tiger, and the scar is strong. I will also be with him. There was a conflict." Xia Yu nodded slightly without saying much. At this time, one of the thieves finally recognized Xia Lei and exclaimed: "Are you a Thunder Tiger from the Tiger Club?" "It''s me!" Xia Lei sneered. When Xia Lei confessed, the two thieves turned pale in fright, and pleaded again. Hearing this, Xia Yu also knew that the two offenders were here, and they were Xia Lei¡¯s deadly enemies, so there was no need to take care of anything. He said to Xia Lei: "Leizi, abolish them. If you steal my money, you will pay a price." "Ok!" "Six, fat cat, give me their hands." Xia Lei said coldly to the two men. "Good boss!" The two men nodded, then smiled cruelly, and took out two bright weapons. "NoBig guy, let me go, let me go, I don¡¯t dare anymore..." "Let me go, boss...ah...ah..." "what¡­¡­" Looking at the cruel scene in front of him, Xia Yu squinted his eyes and suppressed the touch in his heart. Xia Yu forced himself to adapt. After all, this era is too chaotic, and there will be more cruel things than this. Moreover, through the memories of those big guys in his mind, Xia Yu also knows many unknown secrets. For the benefit of many capitalists, even the leaders of a country dare to kill. What is happening right now is pediatrics. "Let''s go, Leizi, hand over to Brother Jun tomorrow." Seeing the two thieves had fallen on the ground, curled up and convulsed, Xia Yu said to Xia Lei. Xia Yu didn''t waste time with the two little gangsters. Since they have been punished, they will be taken to prison tomorrow. After this matter is spread out, the effect will be achieved. The purpose is achieved, Xia Yu does not need to stay too much. Xia Lei nodded, and then said to his hands: "Thanks to your hard work tonight, you will look after the people, and someone will take over tomorrow." "Boss, rest assured, we will guard." "Okay, don''t worry, boss!" ¡­¡­ nodded to each other, and then Xia Lei followed Xia Yu to the outside. He wanted to go out with Xia Yu. After all, it was so remote here, and it was night again. Without him, Xia Yu would really find a way out.

Chapter 60: Save people Xia Yu drove in one direction under the guidance of Xia Lei, because it was the seaside and there were no people living nearby, so there were hardly any cars passing by at night. The cool sea breeze blowing from outside the window made Xia Yu feel very refreshing. At this moment, Xia Yu found that someone seemed to be chasing at the intersection in front of him. He fixed his eyes and saw that a drenched middle-aged man was running ahead. He seemed to be carrying a person on his back, and he was twenty behind him. Several meters away, there were still several people holding weapons in desperate pursuit. And because Xia Yu turned on the high beam, the dazzling light made the few people couldn''t help but block their sight with their hands, and even stopped chasing. This abrupt situation also attracted the attention of Xia Lei, who was sitting in the co-pilot. He conditioned to sit up straight, his eyes fixed on the people in front of the car, and said: "Ayu, ignore it, there are many people around here. The black ship landed, and the person being chased was soaked all over. It should have been the coolie caught by the snake head and escaped. This kind of thing happens all the time. Let''s go, there is no need to cause trouble." "Yeah!" Xia Yu hummed, as soon as he stepped on the accelerator to speed up and leave, he didn''t want to cause trouble. He couldn''t control so much. It was his own safety that mattered. Xia Yu had just stepped on the gas pedal and was about to speed up. The middle-aged man who was soaked with a man on his back suddenly waved to Xia Yu and shouted: "Stop, save my son, save my son!" The shouts were full of expectation and anxiety. Even with the roar of the engine, Xia Yu could hear clearly. This made Xia Yu frown. He didn''t think that the man on his back turned out to be his son, and he was carrying his son. People chase and kill. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that what the middle-aged man speaks is not Cantonese, but Xia Yu. During this time, Xia Yu didn¡¯t hear much, but he was very familiar with Mandarin. Despite his strong accent, Xia Yu could Confirmation is undoubtedly Mandarin. In combination with what Xia Lei said just now, then this person is very likely from the continent across the sea, but why would he carry his son on his back? For a while, Xia Yu hesitated to stop. At this moment, the middle-aged man''s face was very obvious under the light. The middle-aged man''s eyes were full of anxiety and pain. He turned to look at his son on his back from time to time. Looking at Xia Yu''s car pleadingly, the sincere gaze made Xia Yu''s heart tremble, and he couldn''t help stepping on the brakes. And Xia Lei, who was sitting aside, did not persuade Xia Yu this time. He just looked at the middle-aged man with a complex expression, but he did not relax his vigilance either. He untied his seat belt, clenched his fists, and made preparations, just in case. He is against Xia Yu. The car stopped in front of the middle-aged man in a harsh brake, and then Xia Yu said to the middle-aged man: "Get in the car!" This time, Xia Yu also spoke in Mandarin, not the Cantonese that Xia Lei had previously communicated with. Upon hearing Xia Yu''s words, the middle-aged man beamed with joy, then hurriedly opened the back door and stuffed his son in. Then he just wanted to get into the car when he found that the three people chasing him had rushed over. The middle-aged man, without his son''s bondage, rushed towards the few people holding weapons without hesitation. Then, Xia Yu and Xia Lei saw that the middle-aged man acted like a tiger descending the mountain, quickly punching and kicking, and then directly kicking in the air. A few movements were simply and neat, only about a second. The few just now chased arrogantly. All his people were knocked to the ground by him. The middle-aged man''s complexion did not change, he did not start again, but walked back quickly, got into the car quickly, closed the door with his backhand, and smiled gratefully at the vigilant Xia Yu and Xia Lei. It was completely different from the cold look just now, which made Xia Yu think it was an illusion. "Thank you, benefactor, for causing you trouble, my son is seriously ill and unconscious, please take my son to the hospital, please." The middle-aged man saw that the two driving people turned out to be teenagers, but he did not have much Thinking, looking at Xia Yu with a pleading expression. He said this to Xia Yu, because he heard Xia Yu speak Mandarin, which made him subconsciously seek help from Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded and said okay, then stepped on the gas pedal, and quickly lost him in the distance. When driving, he did not forget to look at the middle-aged man and his unconscious son in the rearview mirror. His son should be only about ten years old, but his complexion is blue and he is very thin. It is estimated that he has not developed well since he was malnourished, and he is now in a coma. If he hadn''t watched his chest rise and fall slightly, Xia Yu Thought this was a dead person. From just now, the middle-aged man is very capable of fighting. He has been chased before because he carried his son on his back. He looks very dangerous. Moreover, Xia Lei¡¯s muscles are tight and he is always vigilant at all times, always paying attention to the middle-aged. The appearance of the man can also know that this person is dangerous. But Xia Yu estimated that he should not be violent. After all, he still had his son in the car and he needed to take Xia Yu to the hospital. He didn''t dare to move because of his son''s life. One more, it seems to be aware of Xia Lei''s vigilance. The middle-aged man has always shown a harmless smile, as if he wanted to show that he would not hurt them. And since the middle-aged man has already got in the car and the boat is done, Xia Yu can only send him to the hospital. While driving, the middle-aged man looked at his unconscious son from time to time, and occasionally pleaded with Xia Yu in Mandarin with a strong accent to let Xia Yu take them to the hospital. "Sit down, UU reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com will take you to the hospital now." Xia Yu turned his head slightly and said to the middle-aged man in Mandarin, and then drove the car quickly amidst the expectation and grateful eyes of the middle-aged man. . After entering the city, Xia Yu could find the way without Xia Lei giving directions. He quickly drove towards the nearest hospital. Not long after, Xia Yu arrived at the entrance of the hospital. Then, Xia Yu stopped the car directly on the side of the road and said to the middle-aged man that the hospital had arrived, and he quickly got off. Then, the middle-aged man picked up his unconscious son and ran to the hospital with Xia Yu under Xia Yu''s sign. entered the hospital lobby and saw Xia Yu and a few people in a hurry, and a middle-aged man still holding a child, immediately a nurse greeted him and said, "What''s your situation?" "Save my son, my son has passed out." The middle-aged man said to the nurse emotionally, his expression very anxious. But it seems that because the middle-aged man speaks Mandarin with a strong accent, the nurse didn¡¯t understand what he said and showed a puzzled expression, but she didn¡¯t ask any more because he had already seen the little boy in the middle-aged man¡¯s arms. The boy''s situation is wrong. The nurse asked the middle-aged man to put the little boy on a folding bed, then shouted to the others at the front desk of the hospital, and then quickly performed the most basic examination on the little boy. Then, a few more nurses came quickly, and then a doctor in a white coat also walked out of the office. PS: Can I say that Huang Zhong came to my mind when I wrote this chapter? It is estimated that you have read more about the Three Kingdoms... Ps: Don''t complain about the protagonist''s security issues. I will come out immediately. I am still very satisfied with this character. Finally, the floor is rolling all over asking for a recommendation ticket! Please, big guys! Chapter 61: Yan Shining The doctor nodded towards Xia Yu, and did not say much. He took over the examination. After a quick observation, the doctor said to the middle-aged man who seemed to be the principal: "This child is drowning. Although he has already been rescued, he He is weak and in a coma, and he needs immediate treatment." After finishing speaking, without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, the doctor instructed the nurse to lift the person up and walk towards a place, Xia Yu hurriedly followed. Then, Xia Yu and the others saw the little boy being carried into an isolation room. Several nurses and doctors began to treat the little boy. Across the glass, the middle-aged man looked at his son lying on the white hospital bed in the room, with a look of expectation and anxiety on his face. "It''s okay, the doctor said that your son is drowning. Because he is still weak, he is in a coma." Xia Yu walked over and retelled what the doctor said to the middle-aged man, lest he didn''t know the situation and worried him. Hearing what Xia Yu said, the middle-aged man finally took his gaze back from his son, and then knelt down in Xia Yu¡¯s shocked gaze, and said gratefully to Xia Yu: "Thank you, benefactor, thank you for bringing my son here. Hospital, thank you!" Xia Yu quickly recovered, holding his hand and trying to pull up, and said, "Get up, it''s not necessary. You get up first. It''s important to save your son now, and the rest will be discussed later." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the middle-aged man showed gratitude and nodded repeatedly, then stood up and looked into the ward expectantly again. Due to the wrong occasion and the middle-aged man''s mind has been on his son, even though there are many doubts in his heart, Xia Yu did not speak, but sat on the bench in the aisle with Xia Lei and waited. About half an hour later, the doctor walked out, and the three of Xia Yu quickly surrounded him. "Doctor, how is my son?" The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed the doctor''s hand and asked, his eyes full of expectation. The doctor frowned. Some did not understand the middle-aged man¡¯s Mandarin with a heavy accent, but the doctor still said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Now the child¡¯s condition has stabilized, and he has to wait for him to wake up.¡± The middle-aged man couldn''t understand the doctor''s Cantonese. He was anxious and at a loss. He looked at Xia Yu and wanted Xia Yu''s help. Xia Yu nodded, and then communicated with the doctor in Cantonese. "Okay, doctor, please transfer people to a separate intensive care unit, I will pay the money immediately." Xia Yu said to the doctor. The doctor looked at Xia Yu, and found that Xia Yu had an extraordinary temperament and was not like a whisperer, so he nodded and said, "Okay." After speaking, the doctor entered the ward again. After the doctor left, Xia Yu looked at the very anxious middle-aged man and said, "Your son''s condition has stabilized, but he is still in a coma due to his weakness. The specific in-depth examination will not be performed until your son wakes up. Now I will pay for you first." "Thank you, thank you!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Xia Yu with a joyful smile. Then, Xia Yu went to pay the fee, and came back soon afterwards, and happened to see the doctor pushing the boy out. After Xia Yu told the doctor that he had paid the fee, he followed the doctor and pushed the boy to the intensive care unit. Just entering the ward, Xia Yu saw Xia Lei winking at him, and he followed Xia Lei out. "A Yu, I just discovered one thing. The middle-aged man is full of cocoons on his hands. He should have been holding a gun all year round. The standing posture is obviously a military posture. This man should be a soldier from across the sea, and he is very capable. It''s very dangerous." Xia Lei said solemnly. Hearing Xia Lei''s words, Xia Yu raised his brows and thought. First of all, this middle-aged man is very good at fighting. I don¡¯t need Xia Lei to say that Xia Yu also knows this. After all, he hasn¡¯t forgotten the previous scene. Based on the memory analysis in his mind, he knows the unarmed fighting ability of this middle-aged man. It is definitely not worse than the top bodyguards of later generations. Moreover, Xia Lei analyzed that he was a soldier from the mainland, so he had this ability to explain it. But the problem comes again. Since this middle-aged man is a member of the Continental Army, how could he come to Xiangjiang and still take his son? Did he commit a crime there? After thinking about it for a while, I couldn¡¯t figure it out. Xia Yu was too lazy to bother his brains. He planned to wait and ask for it because he saved his son, and now it seems that he has to rely on Xia Yu. If there is no unspeakable concealment, a middle-aged man. I should say it. "Let''s go, go and ask." Xia Yu said to Xia Lei. Xia Lei nodded and followed Xia Yu into the ward again. Watching Xia Yu and the two come in again, the middle-aged man stood up again, always saying thank you to Xia Yu. "By the way, how could your son do this, and why would anyone chase you?" Xia Yu asked. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the middle-aged man''s expression slowly receded, his fists clenched unconsciously, gritted his teeth, and looked at his son lying on the hospital bed. He sighed and said to Xia Yu: "Benefactor, my family only has Hong''er has a single seedling. You saved my son''s life, so I have nothing to say." Seeing the middle-aged man want to talk about his situation, Xia Yu and Xia Lei looked at each other, then sat down and waited for the middle-aged man to tell him. "My name is Yan Shining, the swallow''s Yan, and the peaceful Shining of the world. You should have guessed the benefactor just now. I was a soldier before." said the middle-aged man Yan Shining, speaking to Xia Yu. Opened his hand. Xia Yu''s eyes twitched, and Xia Lei was a little embarrassed. He didn''t expect that he hadn''t been spotted by secret observation, but he didn''t expect to be spotted by him. This made him a little embarrassed. Yan Shining continued: ¡°I have been a soldier before and rarely go home. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on at home. My wife didn¡¯t tell me anything about it. But I received a letter from the family some time ago and my wife is critically ill.¡± said his wife, Yan Shining''s eyes turned red, and his expression became sad. This kind of true feeling from the heart made Xia Yu a little uncomfortable. "But it''s still too late for me to go back. My wife died of a serious illness. Only Hong''er, my son Yanhong, was left. After I had just dealt with my wife''s funeral affairs, Hong''er fell ill too. I thought of everything. There was no cure. My friend told me that Xiangjiang should have better conditions to save my son''s life. In desperation, after I applied for retirement, he brought my son to Xiangjiang." "I asked someone to help find a ferry boat. I didn¡¯t expect it to be a black boat. I wanted to sell us as coolies, so I managed to escape with Hong¡¯er. The people who had been chasing me before were driving the black boat. people." "After that, it was just as the benefactor saw." After Yan Shining finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu sincerely, and pleaded: "Benefactor, my son is seriously ill. I heard from the previous doctor that it is lung cancer. You are a good person. Please save my son. I am bad. One, but my son is the only seedling in my family, he can¡¯t die Please save him, I won¡¯t let you save it in vain, I can¡¯t pay, but my life It can be." After finishing speaking, Yan Shining knelt down again with a plop, tears in her eyes and pleading in her eyes. Seeing Yan Shining kneel down again, and seeing his pleading eyes, Xia Yu''s heart trembled. In this short period of time, Yan Shining kneeled twice. Xia Yu didn¡¯t think he was a cartilage, but felt in his heart. This is a great father. For his son, he doesn¡¯t care about his dignity. Xia Yu gave him a glimmer of hope, so he held on tightly, even if he gave all of his own. If it can help, Xia Yu will definitely help, but when Yan Shining said that it was lung cancer, Xia Yu was at a loss. Lung cancer is difficult to treat in later generations. The success rate is too low, and even if it can be treated, it is only at an early stage. It is not clear what stage Yan Shining¡¯s son Yanhong¡¯s lung cancer has reached. And it is only 1978, and the medical conditions and technical level are not comparable to later generations. Xia Yu is not sure whether the current conditions can save Yanhong. Looking at Yan Shining who was still kneeling on the ground with the color of pleading, his eyes swept to Yan Hong, who was pale and still in a coma. Xia Yu nodded solemnly and said, "I''ll help with this. Get up first. After your son wakes up, I will ask the doctor what to do." Xia Yu did not tell Yan Shining what he knew about lung cancer, lest he be sad, and Xia Yu also hoped that this matter could turn around. "Thank you, benefactor! Thank you, benefactor!" Yan Shining was overjoyed when he heard that Xia Yu would help, and quickly thanked. As long as someone is willing to help him, his Yan family still has hope to pass on. PS: Another character recommended by a book friend, haha! put a bowl to ask for a recommendation ticket! Chapter 62: Renting Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining who was still wet and thought that he should have not eaten either. Xia Yu said to him, "You probably haven''t eaten yet. I''ll help you buy something to eat." "Leizi, you can watch here first. Later, there should be a doctor coming over for injections. You are responsible for communicating." Then Xia Yu said to Xia Lei. "A Yu, should I go?" Xia Lei said. "No, I''ll go, you can''t drive." "Well, pay attention to safety." After speaking, Xia Yu nodded towards Yan Shining, and then walked outside. After dozens of minutes, Xia Yu walked into the ward again, carrying a dinner and a big bag of clothes in his hands. Xia Yu put the things on the table beside him and said to Yan Shining, "I bought you dinner. You can eat it first. I also bought some clothes. You don''t think it fits." "Thank you, benefactor!" Yan Shining said gratefully, and then maybe because he was really hungry, he picked up dinner and started eating. ¡­¡­ After staying in the ward for a long time, I saw that the little boy Yanhong hadn''t woken up yet, and the time was late. I guess the parents at home would be worried. Xia Yu said to Yan Shining on the side: "It''s so late. Let¡¯s go back and come back tomorrow. I¡¯ve already paid the medical bills for the past few days. Don¡¯t worry. If anything happens, just call the doctor and nurse to come over, and just press the bell. Also, the money You hold it in case you need it." After speaking, Xia Yu took out a handful of change from his pocket and stuffed it into Yan Shining''s hand. "Thank you benefactor, I really trouble you, you are good people, thank you!" Yan Shining was moved with red eyes, bowed to Xia Yu and thanked them. Xia Yu didn''t say much, nodded at him, and then went out with Xia Lei. After going outside, Xia Lei looked at Xia Yu, and asked a little solemnly: "A Yu, what do you think? Do you really believe what he said?" Hearing what Xia Lei said, Xia Yu was silent for a while and said: "Yan Shining brought his son to Xiangjiang, regardless of whether his words are true or false, but I can see that his feelings for his son cannot be faked. " Xia Lei nodded and did not speak. Words can be deceiving, but a person''s eyes can''t deceive people. Xia Lei can still tell if it is true or false. "It''s just that, I am worried that you are causing trouble. You should pay attention to your personal safety and find a way to find some bodyguards." Xia Lei said with some worry. In front of Xia Lei, Xia Yu didn''t have any ideas to hide. He smiled and said, "Isn''t there a ready-made one?" "You said that Yan Shi NX Lei was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, I thought it was completely okay. He murmured: "He is also suitable. He can fight like this. I can be sure I can''t fight him, and he has also been a soldier. Marksmanship It¡¯s definitely not bad. It¡¯s okay to be your bodyguard, and he also brought his son over. He can only hold you tightly if he wants to treat the illness and save his life. His weakness is his son, and it won¡¯t do you anything. Threatened. " "A Yu, don''t you think about it right from the beginning?" Xia Lei looked at Xia Yu with wide-eyed eyes. Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said: "I didn''t think about it at first, but you said it as soon as I had an idea. You are the roundworm in my stomach." "Haha!" Xia Lei touched her hair, smiled twice, and stopped talking about it. Now that Xia Yu had a heart, he believed that Xia Yu would think better than him, so he didn''t need to say more. "Let''s go, it''s so late, I''ll take you back first." Xia Yu said to Xia Lei. Then, the two got into the car, Xia Yu sent Xia Lei to a place and drove towards home. While driving, Xia Yu couldn''t help but think of Yan Shining. Xia Yu also considered his own safety, but at this time Xiangjiang did not have a professional security company, and Xia Yu could not find any bodyguards. He could only go to Europe and America, but Xia Yu had no time to go to Europe and America. Hire bodyguards over there. At first, he helped Yan Shining because he sympathized with his son, but when Yan Shining asked Xia Yu to save his son, and even planned to pay his life, Xia Yu had an idea. As Xia Lei said, Yan Shining can play and is a soldier. There is no need to worry about discipline and abilities. It¡¯s okay for Xia Yu to be a bodyguard for his skills. This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that as long as his son is there, there is no need to worry about Yan Shining''s bad thoughts. Moreover, when it comes to buying people¡¯s hearts, Xia Yu believes that the means will not be bad, and he is confident that Yan Shining will be completely devoted to him, and the starting direction is his son. It can be said that Yan Shining directly exposed his weakness to Xia Yu. . Of course, it''s not that Xia Yu thought about darkness, so he calculated a father with a child. This is not called darkness, this is reality. Xia Yu is not a Virgin. He will not help others unconditionally. It doesn¡¯t matter if he occasionally helps others, but I want Xia Yu to work hard to help someone, if not his own , Then you have to let Xia Yu see the value of his use, just because Yan Shining let Xia Yu see the value, of course Xia Yu is willing to help. The matter of giving charcoal in the snow is the most profitable thing. Without having any major influence on himself, Xia Yu is very happy to do this kind of thing. Not long after, Xia Yu returned home, and after a little explanation with his parents, he washed and went to bed. The sun rises, and a new day begins. Xia Yu came to the company early after eating. While Xia Yu was dealing with affairs, Yan Wenhan walked in and reported to Xia Yu. Yesterday, Yan Wenhan entered the job directly after the interview, and Xia Yu gave him a task, that is, to understand the current situation of the company, write the first impression, and put forward suggestions for rectification, and then hand it to Xia Yu today. "Boss, other aspects of our company are very good now, the problem is relatively small, but the more serious problem is that the office location is too small, which causes office inconvenience and management is a little messy. My suggestion is to expand the office space. Other problems can be solved. ." After listening to Yan Wenhan''s report, Xia Yu nodded to show that he knew, and then let Yan Wenhan go out. With regard to the expansion of office space, Xia Yu promised to the employees a long time ago. It was just a matter of entanglement and there was no time to solve it. Now that Yan Wenhan has joined the job, he has a lot easier, so he has time to solve this problem. "Go now Try to find an office space in these two days." Xia Yu thought to himself, and then went out. Now this office space is old and it is not easy to expand. Even if it needs to be expanded, it will waste time. So it is better to find a new office space to save time and effort. In order to hurry up, Xia Yu went directly to the agency to inquire, and then inspected the site. Luckily, not far from the current company site, there is a small office building for rent, a total of five floors. Although the exterior is a bit old, the inside is very It¡¯s spacious and clean, just need to buy some desks, and the five-story space is enough for the company to continue to expand several times, and there is no need to worry about the space in the next few years. Xia Yu''s work is also straightforward, and he doesn''t have the time and thought to shop around. As long as he meets the requirements, it''s enough. Picking and picking and guessing is that way. If you want to completely satisfy yourself, you can only build your own office building later. It''s better to go ahead. The contract was signed for a total of five years. Xia Yu only rented but did not buy. Firstly, because the place was a bit old, and secondly, Xia Yu didn''t want money backlogged on the property. The most important thing is that within a few years, housing prices will plummet, and stock prices will plummet. The time is exactly five years later, when Xia Yu had the funds to buy a satisfactory building as the company''s residence. Then, Xia Yu returned to the company and handed over the follow-up work of this matter to Yan Wenhan, let him be responsible, there is no need for Xia Yu to handle the procurement and renovations himself. Ps: Streaking next week, I originally said that if there is a recommendation next week, I will try to make changes on Saturday and Sunday. Alas, a pot of cold water was poured down, it was cold, and my mentality was a little broken, bitter! Things are not as expected, so what can I do~ Honestly save the code words, add more things to see later... For the sake of my sad reminder, vote for me Chapter 63: Li Chunqiu When Xia Yu went to the hospital again, he found that the little boy Yanhong was awake and could sit up, but his face was still pale, which made people feel distressed. Seeing Xia Yu coming in, Yan Shining quickly stood up. "Yanhong is awake? I bought some fruits, you can cut them for him to eat." Xia Yu put the fruits on the table and said, then smiled at the little boy Yanhong who looked at him curiously. "By the way, have you eaten lunch? If not, I will buy it for you." Xia Yu asked suddenly. "Thank you, benefactor, we have already eaten, and the nurse bought it for us, so don''t bother you." Yan Shining waved his hand and said. "Hong''er, call uncle quickly, this is the benefactor who saved you." Yan Shining said to his son Yan Hong. "Thank you Uncle for saving me!" Yan Hong smiled innocently and expressed gratitude to Xia Yu, only because his face was pale and the smile that showed Xia Yu felt a little distressed. "Haha, it''s fine if you wake up. Also, call my brother, call my uncle and call you old." Xia Yu said concerned, and finally joked. The little boy Yan Hong was a little afraid of life. After hearing Xia Yu''s words, he was a little overwhelmed and looked at his father Yan Shining subconsciously. Yan Shining is also a bit embarrassed. If he asks his son to call Xia Yu''s brother, then Xia Yu, his benefactor, will be shorter than him by a generation. He has some scruples, so what should he do if it is not for a while. Xia Yu saw his embarrassment and said with a smile: "It''s okay, Yanhong just call my brother. Also, don''t keep calling my benefactor. It sounds awkward. My name is Xia and Xia Yu, you You can call me by my name or Xia Sheng, which is what Mr. Xia means." "Well, Xia Sheng." Yan Shining hesitated for a while, and he seemed a little unhappy when he saw Xia Yu, and said quickly. At this moment, the doctor suddenly walked in. Seeing Xia Yu was also there, he seemed to be relieved and walked over and said: "Mr., the patient is awake now. We need to check the patient. No Knowing if you can tell the patient what the patient has before, it will be more convenient for us to check." "I heard his father said that it may be lung cancer. The doctor can trouble you to check his lungs to confirm what the disease is." Xia Yu said with a serious expression. Hearing that it was lung cancer, the doctor looked serious and nodded seriously, then communicated with the nurse behind, and then arranged for someone to start the process. After a set of examinations, the doctor took out the examination results and came to Xia Yu and Yan Shining, and said: "The patient is indeed lung cancer, but it is in the early stage." Looking at Yan Shining''s nervous expression, Xia Yu asked, "Is there any way to treat?" The doctor thought for a while, his complexion became serious, and said, ¡°Because of the current medical conditions and technical problems, treatment can be performed, but the success rate of treatment is very low, and the patient¡¯s physique is very weak, which increases the risk of surgery. We do not recommend it to the patient. Surgery." Hearing what the doctor said, Xia Yu frowned. Although he could not understand the conversation between Xia Yu and the doctor, Yan Shining could also tell from their expressions. Knowing that the situation was not good, he looked at Xia Yu and the doctor pleadingly, and pleaded: "Doctor, benefactor , I must think of a way to save my son, I beg you." Xia Yu nodded to Yan Shining. He didn''t want Yan Hong to pass away at such a young age. He once again solemnly asked, "Doctor, besides performing surgery, do you have any other way to treat? Money is not a problem, you just Say there is no way." The doctor shook his head, but when Xia Yu and Yan Shining¡¯s hearts sank, the doctor hesitated and spoke again: "Actually, I have heard that someone in Jiulong has successfully treated lung cancer, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true. I''m sure, you can go and ask, he is a Chinese medicine doctor, and he is in...Dao''s Spring and Autumn Medical Center." After speaking, the doctor didn¡¯t wait much and left the ward. After Xia Yu repeated what the doctor said to Yan Shining, he said to Yan Shining who looked worried and hopeful: ¡°I¡¯ll find it for you, don¡¯t you Worry, there must be a way." "Well, thank you Xia Sheng." Yan Shining nodded heavily. Next, Xia Yu took the diagnosis report and drove to find the Chunqiu Medical Center. Because of the address given by the doctor, Xia Yu quickly found the place and ran to the Medical Center quickly after parking. As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of medicine came to his nose. Xia Yu saw an old man wearing a gray robe with a childlike face and a ruddy complexion, taking the pulse of a patient. The old man ignored Xia Yu who came in and continued to get his pulse, even though Xia Yu was very impatient and could only wait. After a while, Xia Yu saw what the old man had said to the doctor, and then went to the pharmacy to pick up a packet of Chinese medicine and tell the patient how to use it. When the patient got up and left, the old man looked at Xia Yu with a kind smile, giving Xia Yu a feeling of spring breeze, and Xia Yu''s anxiety couldn''t help but relieved a little. "This little friend, I think you are strong and full of energy. You don''t look like a doctor. I don''t know what''s the matter with me?" The old man took a look at it and said. Xia Yu was startled. He didn''t expect the old man to see at a glance that he was not coming to see the doctor. He was indeed a bit powerful. But Xia Yu didn¡¯t think about it now. He handed the report to the old man, and then said to the old man: ¡°Doctor, my friend¡¯s son is 10 years old this year, but he was diagnosed with early lung cancer. I heard that you successfully treated him. Yes, please be sure to lend a helping hand." The old man raised his eyebrows and his expression was relieved again. After reading the inspection report, he asked Xia Yu: "I don''t know where the person is now? I have to read the specific situation to draw a conclusion." "Doctor, because the child was drowning yesterday and his body is also very weak, he is now hospitalized in the hospital and there is no way to bring it over. Could you please take a trip?" Xia Yu explained, and then made a request. "Yes, treatment is important." The old man looked at Xia Yu''s face carefully, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then smiled and nodded. "Thank you!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked. Then, Xia Yu saw the old man enter the house and shouted out a middle-aged man, who seemed to be his son. After explaining to the middle-aged man, he followed Xia Yu to the hospital. Soon, Xia Yu brought the old man to the ward. As soon as the old man entered the door, he saw Yan Hong lying on the bed. He ignored Yan Shining on the side. After carefully watching Yan Hong¡¯s face, he immediately began to get his pulse. Xia Yu saw that Yan Shining wanted to ask questions. He shook his head slightly and signaled Yan Shining not to disturb the elderly. Next, Xia Yu saw the old man roll over Yanhong''s eyelids, lifted the quilt and looked at him, and then pinched him. Then, the old man began to inquire again, and when he saw Yan Hong''s puzzled expression, he looked up at Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn''t hide it, and said, "They are from the mainland and can''t understand Cantonese." The old man nodded and said that he knew, and then asked Yanhong in Mandarin. There was a Sichuan accent in the words, so Xia Yu couldn''t help but raise his brow. It seems that the old man¡¯s hometown should be from Sichuan and Shu. After a while, the old man stood up, and Xia Yu asked quickly, "Doctor, how is it?" Yan Shining also looked at the old man with concern, nervously, and wanted to hear good news. It seems that considering that Yan Shining may not understand, the old man nodded and said directly in Mandarin: "I saw it, it can be cured, but the treatment time is relatively long." Yan Shining showed ecstasy when he heard the old man say yes, and his eyes quickly turned red. After saying thank you to the old man, he hugged his son tightly. He was so happy. No one can understand his feelings. His wife passed away in a short time. She had to leave her favorite army and took her son to seek medical treatment everywhere. There was no cure. Finally, she ventured to Xiangjiang and met a black snake head. Her son almost drowned. He died, and was finally rescued by Xia Yu and sent to the hospital. He didn¡¯t want a doctor and said that there was no way. Yan Shining was almost desperate. He didn¡¯t expect to say that his son was saved. At this moment, his inner depression was completely released. Can''t help crying, it was tears of joy. Seeing a big man holding his son crying bitterly, Xia Yu pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and sighed. It seems that Yan Shining''s heart was indeed suppressed for too long and under too much pressure to be so gloomy. "Doctor, how do you treat it specifically, stay in this hospital or go to your side?" Xia Yu asked the old man. The old man looked at Yanhong, and then said to Xia Yu: "Go to my side. I have a separate hospital bed. The child is in poor physique and is in short supply. In addition to his own lung cancer, his body needs to be recuperated immediately. , I can¡¯t keep paying attention here." "Okay, I''ll talk to his father." Xia Yu nodded in agreement. Since the old man said that he can be cured, he can only trust him, and as he said, it is not convenient to be in this hospital. After Yan Shining cleared up his emotions, after Xia Yu communicated with him, Yan Shining quickly agreed. Now that he sees hope, just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, where would he be willing to let it go. Then, Xia Yu quickly discharged from the hospital and asked Yan Shining to carry Yan Hong on his back, and went out of the hospital with the old man, and drove to the old man''s Spring and Autumn Clinic. In the car, Xia Yu also learned that the old man''s name was Li Chunqiu, and the Chunqiu Medical Center was named after him. After busying for a while, Yan Hong was settled in a room in the backyard of the Spring and Autumn Medical Hall. Even Yan Shining lived there to take care of Yan Hong, which happened to solve the problem of Yan Shining¡¯s accommodation. After the old man finished prescribing the medicine, Xia Yu took out a handful of money and handed it to the doctor, saying: "Doctor, UU reading uses the best medicine. Money is not a problem. I will trouble you." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Yan Shining on the side showed gratitude, and the gratitude for Xia Yu was heavy. The old man did not refuse, stroked his gray beard, and laughed: "Don''t worry, the doctor''s parents, I will do my best, besides, I know that you are not a poor person and will not save for you." After hearing what the old man said, Xia Yu didn''t care, thinking that he recognized the Mercedes-Benz and knew the price, so he guessed that Xia Yu was not short of money. Now that things have a good expectation, Xia Yu can breathe a sigh of relief, and ask the old man to take a paper and pen, write down two numbers and give it to Yan Shining, and said to him: "My company has something to do. Let¡¯s go first. This is the phone number between my company and my home. If you have anything to do, call me. I will come when I have time." "Thank you Xia Sheng, thank you!" Yan Shining took the note with both hands, bowed to Xia Yu, and thanked again and again. Xia Yu didn''t say much, nodded to Yan Shining and the old man, and then left the hospital to return to the company. PS: Don¡¯t think this chapter is outrageous. Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed on for thousands of years. Now there are many quack doctors, but you can¡¯t think that there are no famous doctors. It¡¯s just that there are some who are not in touch with ordinary people. Just think about it. Or a hundred-year-old father, this can tell something, this character is very important, I dug a few holes here, I don¡¯t know if you can guess it, haha. PS: Three thousand chapters, too lazy to divide, it is said that the progress of the plot is too slow. In order to arrange the characters to come out, it is indeed relatively plain, but it is not possible without a reasonable arrangement. This plot is gone, and the next plot is started. No It will be so plain, and I also prefer business warfare. PS: For the sake of my hard work, I ask for recommendation votes for support! Chapter 64: Conspiracy emerges Saturday and Sunday are spent in all kinds of small things, and in a blink of an eye it is a new week. Xia Yu was dealing with affairs in the office. Suddenly the phone rang and looked at the number. It turned out to be the phone of Liu Tianci''s office. Xia Yu raised his brows and connected the phone: "Hey, Liu Sheng, good morning, what''s the matter? ?" "Okay, I''ll be here later, thank you for your reminder..." After Xia Yu hung up the phone, the smile on his face narrowed, his brows frowned slightly, then he pulled out his drawer to find the notebook for recording stock market information and analysis, and flipped quickly. "Dafa Real Estate, that''s it." Xia Yu murmured, then looked quickly. After reading it, Xia Yu pondered for a long time, and after confirming that there was no problem with his analysis, he was a little puzzled and muttered to himself: "No, Dafa Real Estate is indeed undervalued. It is a potential stock, and now it is influenced by public opinion, and the stock price is difficult to fall , But Liu Tianci said that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate plummeted, either because negative information broke out, or someone went short!" "I am bullish about Dafa Real Estate, and the stock price has plummeted in such a short period of time. Interesting, interesting..." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and murmured as he touched his chin, and the corners of his mouth unknowingly evoked a curve. Xia Yu was not too anxious to hear that Liu Tianci said that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate had plummeted. After all, his funds had long been withdrawn from the stock of Dafa Real Estate. The stock price of Dafa Real Estate plummeted without giving him any funds. Cause losses. The only thing that will make him pay attention is whether the plunge of Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock price will affect the influence and sales of Jiuding Daily. After all, the rise of Jiuding Daily is too short, and its rise depends on his articles and stock reviews. His stock evaluation suddenly became inaccurate, which would inevitably reduce the authority of "Jiuding Daily" in the minds of investors. This is not what Xia Yu wants to see. It is estimated that Liu Tianci also thought of this, so when he learned that the stock price of Dafa Property had plummeted, he would call him and let him pay attention. "Let''s go to the stock market to take a look, and goodbye to the machine." Xia Yu thought to himself. Next, Xia Yu went to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. On the way, he bought a bunch of newspapers to see if there was any negative news about Dafa Real Estate. I read several big newspapers and didn''t see the negative news about Dafa Real Estate, but when he saw the "Oriental Daily", Xia Yu''s eyes were fixed. "Sure enough..." "Dafa Real Estate expanded too fast, the capital chain was broken, and faced with a huge funding gap. Several major shareholders crazily reduced their shares to cash out..." After reading the "Oriental Daily", Xia Yu flipped through other newspapers and found that there were other newspapers with relatively small sales that also reported the news. Apart from this, none of the other large newspapers reported the news. This is interesting! Other small newspapers can get news, why didn''t the big newspapers publish it except "Oriental Daily"? If this news is true, it is certainly impossible not to get the news, but it is not reported now, then it must be considered. Xia Yu is not in a hurry. He has seen a lot of this kind of negative news in his previous life, and he has the memories of those big bosses. This kind of negative news is like a pediatrics. As long as he has money, this kind of "rumor" can be created in minutes. . Now let¡¯s see if it¡¯s a rumor! Watch the change first! Soon, Xia Yu came to the Kowloon Stock Exchange, found Liu Tianci, and asked him about the situation. "Xia Sheng, you are here." Liu Tianci smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu. "Liu Sheng, what''s the situation now?" Xia Yu and Liu Tianci asked after a few words. "Xia Sheng, take a look, I let someone record the situation." Liu Tianci took Xia Yu a few steps forward, pointing to some data recorded in the notebook and said. Xia Yu quickly looked over. "Xia Sheng, you recommended Dafa Real Estate before, and I bought some by the way. So today, after its stock price plummeted, the people below notified me immediately. Now it has been determined that there is big money suppressing the stock price. As for which institution , I have sent someone to check it, and it is estimated that I will find out soon." Liu Tianci provided Xia Yu with some information. Hearing Liu Tianci¡¯s words, Xia Yu nodded and did not say much, but continued to watch Liu Tianci¡¯s recorded information. After reading it, Xia Yu found the shares of Dafa Real Estate again and found that the stock price plummeted and the market value had already It fell from 60 million to 50 million, and the downward trend is still expanding. Taking into account the reports of the Oriental Daily and other newspapers, the negative news of Dafa Real Estate will spread further. If it causes market panic, the share price of Dafa Real Estate will only fall more sharply. Who is it that took such a great effort to suppress the stock price of Dafa Real Estate? What for? And, what is the relationship with "Oriental Daily"? Xia Yu''s thinking diverges, and he thinks quickly. From the moment he saw the report of the "Oriental Daily", he smelled something wrong. It is impossible that other big newspapers did not get the news, but the "Oriental Daily" got it Xiangjiang is so big, many The news can''t be hidden. If there is an accident in Dafa Real Estate, it is impossible for other big newspapers to not know, and it is impossible for the Hong Kong Economic Journal, which focuses on business news, to fail to know. Moreover, the negative news about Dafa Real Estate published in the "Oriental Daily" is very detailed. You even know that shareholders sold their shares and left. But yesterday, two days were Saturday and Sunday. It was closed. How to sell? It can only be sold today! However, the printing time and delivery time of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper are before the opening of the stock market. This time is obviously wrong. After a little thought, you will know that it was premeditated, or the shareholders of Dafa Real Estate did not sell the stock on the stock market. The transaction was directly completed in private. How did the "Oriental Daily" know the news? In addition, the article in the "Oriental Daily" is blatantly singing about Dafa Real Estate. If Xia Yu can''t find the tricks, he will lose the face of his previous financial giant. Although he had an idea in his heart, Xia Yu was not in a hurry. It was only now that it happened, and it was far from overwhelming. Moreover, although this method looks sharp, it can be said to be quick and accurate, and it does not give people time to deal with it, just to form a general trend to take away the victory, and the boss who wants to fight Xia Yu or Dafa Real Estate has no power to fight back. . But, again, Xia Yu is not an ordinary person, and these seemingly fatal methods are just like that for Xia Yu, Xia Yu is not in a hurry. As the saying goes, you have food in your hand, so don¡¯t panic when things happen! With 8 million funds in his hand, he can still use ten times leverage to leverage 80 million funds. The amount of funds is higher than the peak market value of Dafa Real Estate. What is Xia Yu anxious for? Xia Yu: The east wind blows, the drums are beaten, I have a ticket who I am afraid of! You have food in your hand, so don¡¯t panic in case of trouble. Everybody, vote for it! Chapter 65: Application Not long after, a staff member of HSBC Securities ran back, nodded respectfully to Xia Yu, and then reported to Liu Tianci: "Manager, it has been found out that it is Tianwu Securities that is suppressing the stock price of Dafa Real Estate. Signed short-to-betting agreements with some institutions." "Okay, I see, you can go down first." Liu Tianci nodded, and then asked his employees to leave. "Xia Sheng, you should have heard it, Tianwu Securities is shorting Dafa Real Estate." Liu Tianci said with a faint smile. "Tianwu Securities?" Xia Yu raised his brows and looked at Liu Tianci suspiciously. Xia Yu didn''t know the sacred nature of Tianwu Securities. After all, he had just entered the stock market for more than ten days, and he did not have the time to learn more about the various institutions and forces in the Hong Kong stock market. "Tianwu Securities has been established for more than ten years, and it manages more than 50 million funds. It should be regarded as the top among the small securities companies in Xiangjiang. The founder is Wu Chengtai and his ability is not bad." Liu Tianci Xiang Xia Yu explained. When talking about Wu Chengtai and Tian Wu Securities, Liu Tianci''s tone was very flat, and he only used the word OK when judging Wu Chengtai''s ability. Also, compared to Liu Tianci, the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, Wu Chengtai and Tian Wu Securities are indeed okay, after all, the gap is too big. Although Wu Chengtai¡¯s age is more than twenty years older than Liu Tianci, sometimes the ability cannot be absolutely tied to his age, otherwise, where will the face of genius be put? "Tianwu Securities shorted Dafa Real Estate. Since it still took the opportunity to short Dafa Real Estate, then I must know the inside information. Just looking at the decline in Dafa Real Estate¡¯s share price, Tianwu Securities¡¯ offensive has also been overwhelmed? And Tianwu Securities¡¯ management funds are also Only about 50 million yuan, and Dafa Real Estate''s stock price is 60 million yuan, so surely Wu Chengtai can eat it?" Xia Yu murmured, narrowing his eyes. "Oh, yes, Xia Sheng, there is a piece of news that you may be interested in, and it is also related to you." Liu Tianci suddenly thought of something and quickly said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu became interested and looked at Liu Tianci, only to hear him say: "Wu Chengtai is the head of the Wu family, the giants of the Xiangjiang family. The Wu family has three major industries. In addition to the Tianwu Securities controlled by Wu Chengtai, there is another one you are very familiar with. , That is Mingheng Industrial. In addition, there is a Mingheng Real Estate Company." "Ming Heng Industrial?" When he heard this familiar name, Xia Yu raised his brows. He didn''t expect to hear the name. He didn''t forget that he made a lot of money for breaking Ming Heng Industrial¡¯s financial fraud. Then I met Liu Tianci. I thought it was in the past tense, but I didn''t expect to hear the name Mingheng Industry again under this situation. "So, Wu Chengtai of Tianwu Securities has a grudge with me?" Xia Yu thought somewhat unexpectedly. "Oriental Daily, Tianwu Securities, Dafa Real Estate, Mingheng Industrial... and my "Jiuding Daily"." Xia Yu murmured, squinting his eyes slightly, touching his chin. At the end, he showed a bit of fun. Smile. "Interesting, why do you look at me? It''s all related to me, and I can''t think about it in a bad direction." Xia Yu shook his head and smiled, not scared by the possible results of his own analysis, but relaxed. Some. After all, the unknown is the most terrifying, and it will make people unable to start. As long as he knows the general things, Xia Yu has a way to solve it. Liu Tianci, who stood by, was also a smart man. After hearing Xia Yu''s murmur, he also thought of something. Originally, I was a little worried about Xia Yu, but after seeing Xia Yu''s expression relaxed and thinking about laughing, Liu Tianci relaxed and said jokingly: "Xia Sheng, it seems that someone is uniting and trying to target you. Do you have any plans? ?" "Don''t worry, there is still a long time before the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has fallen, and there is still plenty of time. If you want to trouble me, you have to make them suffer a bit, and you have to add them up." Xia Yu said with a smile. Although Xia Yu looked relaxed and smiled, Xia Yu had already planned to do a good job. Since Ma Chengkun of the "Oriental Daily" knows that destroying the general public opinion created by Xia Yu can have a great impact on the "Jiuding Daily", how could Xia Yu, the person who created all this by himself, not know the importance of this general public opinion? What? Take advantage of the trend, it can be said that it is the easiest to take advantage of the situation, and the result is also the means to maximize. How could Xia Yu allow others to interrupt him? The words of ¡°Standing on the wind, pigs can fly¡± from the previous life of Xiaomi¡¯s Rebs explained the essence of business, and also pointed out the importance of ¡®power¡¯, and the times make heroes! To this end, he also established Shunwei Capital, which means to follow the trend! And Xia Yu is even more aware of the importance of taking advantage of the situation. "Jiuding Daily" has not completely settled down, and this situation cannot be given up! Whoever wants to get rid of the general public opinion that has finally gathered, who is Xia Yu''s enemy! There is no second possibility! Today, although the "Oriental Daily" did not explicitly target the "Jiuding Daily ", Xia Yu has already felt the deep malice. If Xia Yu had not expected it, tomorrow the "Oriental Daily" would definitely not Leave room to criticize "Jiuding Daily". The reason why I did not criticize Xia Yu and the "Jiuding Daily" today must be to let investors know about the stock price of Dafa Real Estate. If I criticize tomorrow, the effect will be better. I want to kill Xia Yu! And also learn from Xia Yu''s introduction of public opinion to expand the decline of Dafa Real Estate''s share price. It''s a pity, Xia Yu is not the meat on the glued board, how could they let them kill? "Oh, yes, Xia Sheng, I almost forgot, there is another message that should be useful to you." Liu Tianci suddenly thought of something and said to Xia Yu quickly. "I have heard some news before that the Wu family intends to expand their family''s Mingheng Real Estate Company and has been looking for opportunities to expand. This time it may be eyeing Dafa Real Estate to annex it." Liu Tianci said. "It''s just that Dafa Real Estate said to Mingheng Real Estate that they are a little bigger, but I don''t know if they have such a good appetite?" Liu Tianci smiled meaningfully. "I guess, their appetite is not good and they will be crushed to death!" Xia Yu said with a smile, his tone very sure. "Haha!" Liu Tianci couldn''t help but smile. He understood the underlying meaning of Xia Yu''s words. He also looked forward to what Xia Yu would do, and wanted to see how Xia Yu coped with this trouble. "Wu Sheng, I have to seek your support again this time." Xia Yu said to Liu Tianci. "No problem, it''s a trivial matter." Liu Tianci waved his hand and said indifferently. He knew that Xia Yu''s support refers to the use of leverage. This kind of thing couldn''t be easier for him to provide customers with financial services. Leverage is one of their HSBC businesses. Chapter 66: Helper 2nd "By the way, Liu Sheng, if you are interested, take part in it. It is still very profitable if you want to come." Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci, his eyes brightened and an idea appeared in his mind and offered him an invitation. Although he can leverage 80 million of funds after using ten times the leverage, he does not counsel Tianwu Securities at all, but Xia Yu needs manpower, which requires Liu Tianci''s help. Although if there is a chance to make a fortune in this fight, it is not without risk. After all, I don¡¯t know if Tianwu Securities will show any hole cards. There has never been an absolute thing in the world. Xia Yu didn''t know the specific situation of the Wu family, and he didn''t know what connections the Wu family had. He could not guarantee the absolute success of the handwriting action. Xia Yu is still in the stage of laying the foundation. Every asset is very important. If Xia is not allowed to take too much risk, he still has to fight steadily. When the wretched development, Xia Yu will not be chaotic! Therefore, in order to increase the winning rate, Xia Yu thought of pulling Liu Tianci in. After all, he has great energy! And if Liu Tianci is brought together, with a teammate of HSBC Securities, even though it is only the Kowloon branch, it is also a giant for Tianwu Securities. Relying on funds alone, custody can put Tianwu Securities on the ground and win. It can almost be said that it is a certainty, and I am afraid that Liu Tianci does not want to do such an offensive thing. After all, the Wu family is also a Xiangjiang wealthy, and the relationship is complicated. But now that Xia Yu is in front and pulls Liu Tianci up, Liu Tianci will probably not refuse. Even if the Wu family has some connections in the sky that can affect HSBC executives to trouble Liu Tianci afterwards, Liu Tianci can also confess Xia Yu as a shield, and HSBC executives have nothing to say. After all, Xia Yu is a customer of HSBC Securities. It is also excusable to cooperate with customers to make profits. Of course, this is Xia Yu¡¯s malicious thinking. If he is a senior of HSBC and Liu Tianci helped the securities department make money, he will never hold Liu Tianci accountable for other reasons. After all, making money is merit. In the eyes of capitalists , Profit is everything, everything else stays aside. Moreover, Liu Tianci himself owns the shares of Dafa Real Estate. If the stock price of Dafa Real Estate is suppressed by Tianwu Securities to the end, it will be a loss for HSBC Securities, and Liu Tianci will not be able to watch. Therefore, pulling on Liu Tianci is good for both Xia Yu and Liu Tianci. It can be said to be mutual benefit. Although he will share part of the profit, Xia Yu knows that sometimes money is important, but sometimes when compared with other things, the importance of money will decrease a little. If friends want to maintain their relationship, they still cannot eat alone. Only mutual benefit can last forever. What''s more, Xia Yu''s funds are all in HSBC Securities. If he wants to operate, he has to rely on HSBC Securities. Anyone who is wise knows that he cannot eat alone in this situation. Moreover, such an opportunity to make money is not unique to Xia Yu. Once Liu Tianci knows it, it is impossible not to let him in. Xia Yu is not qualified to stop him. Liu Tianci can ignore Xia Yu and enter the game directly, but At that time, the relationship between Xia Yu and him would be affected, which Xia Yu didn''t want to see. Since there is no reason to stop it, I might as well invite Liu Tianci into the arena, and Liu Tianci should also accept his love. Just as Xia Yu thought, after Liu Tianci heard what he said, he agreed without hesitation. It is foreseeable that there will be changes in the plan of Tianwu Securities! I don¡¯t know if Wu Chengtai knew about Xia Yu¡¯s side, would he spew out old blood with anger. "Xia Sheng, since you are the main one, listen to your opinion, when do you plan to do it?" Liu Tianci asked. Xia Yu had an idea first, and then invited him. Then he is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, so he takes the initiative. The power is given to Xia Yu, because he also wants to see Xia Yu''s other abilities. "No hurry, since the "Oriental Daily" is so eagerly directed at me, so I have to let him get his wish, otherwise it would be too shameful." Although this is a crisis against Xia Yu, if it is not dealt with immediately, and if it continues to ferment, it will be detrimental to the "Jiuding Daily", but Xia Yu is not in a hurry. In Xia Yu''s view, crises and opportunities coexist. As long as they are used well, crises are also opportunities. This time the "Oriental Daily" has tried its best to target him. Isn''t it a good opportunity? "Jiuding Daily" still needs to use the general public opinion to continue to expand its influence and management authority, and Xia Yu also needs to use the general public opinion to continue to trade stocks to earn money, so the current general public opinion cannot disappear. In fact, Xia Yu also knows that it is not good to rely on this kind of public opinion, but during this time I have to rely on it. How can Xia Yu not take a shortcut? I will definitely give up in the future. After all, it is too late. It is easy to be hated, and the more difficult it is to maintain in the later stage. It is like blowing a balloon. There is always a moment of bursting. It is better to accept it. However, Xia Yu can only decide when to accept it. Don¡¯t try to interrupt it by others! But it is impossible for Xia Yu to maintain this invisible momentum all the time. This time, the "Oriental Daily" is counting on him. What about the next time a "Western Daily" runs out? Next time you come to "Northern Daily"? Isn''t Xia Yu tired of coping? Xia Yu can¡¯t always be on guard Then Liwei should let others not dare to threaten his mind with this, then now is an opportunity! As long as the tricks of the "Oriental Daily" are bankrupted this time, the "Oriental Daily" is smashed severely, and Tianwu Securities, an accomplice who is embarrassed with the "Oriental Daily", will suffer heavy losses. Others will take warning. When I wanted to use this to target "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu, I remembered the two negative textbooks "Oriental Daily" and Tianwu Securities, so I didn''t dare to think about it. That was what Xia Yu wanted. With deterrence, so that others don''t dare to think badly, the crisis will naturally be eliminated in the bud. As the saying goes, one punch, lest you get a hundred punches! Xia Yu just wanted to take this opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys in order to avoid future troubles! "Furthermore, it happened that Tianwu Securities suppressed the stock price of Dafa Real Estate to a lower level. When we rushed to raise the price, the risk and the risk would be smaller, and the profit would be greater." Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Liu Tianci smiled and didn''t seem to expect Xia Yu to calculate so much. There was a glimmer of expectation and pity in his eyes, looking forward to what will happen tomorrow, and the pity was for Xia Yu''s opponent Tianwu Securities With the "Oriental Daily", they calculated Xia Yu but Xia Yu calculated it. I don''t know what they will get. Then, Xia Yu and Liu Tianci began to discuss how to cooperate. ¡­¡­ ps: There is another update at six in the afternoon. The new book issue is not suitable for adding updates. In fact, the longer the free period, the more beneficial to me, but I think that next week streaking is not recommended, so I will add more clicks and recommend the head office, so add it today In a further chapter, I hope everyone can continue to support and vote for a recommendation. This is the only thing I want to pursue. Chapter 67: Suffering Lord third Let¡¯s talk about the bitter owner at the center of the whirlpool of this incident. At the company site of Dafa Real Estate, the 55-year-old chairman Li Zhaoxu was in the conference room for an emergency meeting. Already more than half a hundred years old, the gray-haired Li Zhaoxu sat at the front of the long table in the conference room, looking at the vacant positions, with a look of grief and anger. Li Zhaoxu did not expect that an old friend who had been with him for so many years would actually stabb him in the back. When he first came to the company today, he heard reports from his staff that the "Oriental Daily" and some newspapers broke negative news about Dafa Real Estate, and it was the deadly news that the capital chain was broken. At the same time, it reported on the shareholders of Dafa Real Estate. Cash out. Then, worse news came from the stock market. Someone was frantically suppressing the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, and the stock price plummeted! Li Zhaoxu was still in a good mood during this period. After all, after the "Jiuding Daily" was optimistic, the value of his company was finally discovered by others. In just ten days, the stock price doubled to 60 million Hong Kong dollars. He is planning to take this opportunity to let Dafa Real Estate grow rapidly again, but unfortunately the plans are still in the making, and a bolt from the blue was taken. The company¡¯s financial breakdown is absolutely unnecessary. As long as he is given time, he can prove that he has refuted the rumors, and then he will be able to survive the crisis. However, there is a prerequisite that the shareholder cashing out as reported by the Oriental Daily is also false. Yes, after all, if shareholders are not optimistic about Dafa Real Estate, no matter what the reason is, it will cause market panic. Coupled with the current public opinion, the negative effect will only be even greater. Li Zhaoxu also held a glimmer of hope and called an emergency shareholder meeting, only to find that three shareholders did not show up. The total number of shares held by these three shareholders reached 16%, which is a high proportion, but it is so important. The shareholders meeting was absent. Li Zhaoxu called them urgently. Except for one that couldn''t get through, the other two just said sorry to him and hung up the phone. Although they didn''t say anything, Li Zhaoxu''s heart sank to the bottom of the lake. He knew it all. The report of Oriental Daily seems to be correct. The shares of these three shareholders must have been sold. Li Zhaoxu¡¯s full of grief and indignation cannot be vented. After all, Dafa Real Estate was built by his hard work for decades. He introduced many shareholders due to lack of money during the process. For so many years, Li Zhaoxu believes that people are not bad in the world, and his relationship with them is not bad. Very good, but I didn''t expect that the love for so many years could not be compared with the naked interest. They actually stabbed him in the back. The feeling of being betrayed made Li Zhaoxu a little suffocated, and the blood kept pouring up his head. He felt a while. dizziness. Li Zhaoxu kept taking deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He was sane. He knew he could not fall. If he fell and it was reported that the founder of the company fell ill, then Dafa Real Estate was completely finished! The price is too great, he can''t afford it! "Chairman, what should I do now? The rumors must not be allowed to continue to spread. They must be contained immediately!" A shareholder said to Li Zhaoxu with a solemn expression. "Yeah, Chairman, a few of them cheated us. Let''s remember this first. Sooner or later we will find them to settle the accounts. But now the most important thing is to solve the company''s crisis." Another shareholder looked to The empty seats were full of anger, and they echoed. "Yes, let''s hurry up to hold a press conference to refute the rumors, and it will save some of it." ¡­¡­ Li Zhaoxu shook his head to make himself a little more sober. Looking at the slightly flustered minority shareholders, he cheered up and said in a straightforward voice: "I will hold a press conference right away, but this is not enough. In order to solve the problem and improve Stockholders¡¯ confidence can only be repurchased by our shareholders, and I hope everyone will prepare their funds to tide over this difficulty together." After speaking, Li Zhaoxu looked at them expectantly. The other shareholders looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed. After all, they don¡¯t know what to do now. If they take out the funds to buy back shares, they may lose even more. They hesitate in their hearts. After all, the risks are too great. At this time, many shareholders have regretted in their hearts, why didn''t they sell the stock when the company''s stock price was the highest a few days ago. Looking at Li Zhaoxu¡¯s expectant gaze, even if they had an idea in their minds, they didn¡¯t say it, and now they have to tide over the difficulties first. As for whether they can afford to repurchase the shares, when the time comes, there is no need to speak out if they have an idea. If Li Zhaoxu can¡¯t bear it. If the stimulation can''t stand it, it''s really over. ¡­¡­ How Dafa Real Estate would respond, Xia Yu didn''t know and didn''t care about it. And Wu Chengtai and the two old foxes had long been prepared for Dafa Real Estate to dispel rumors, so before the rumors of Dafa Real Estate¡¯s capital chain broke, they took the opportunity to buy several Dafa Real Estate¡¯s shareholders and bought them from them. All the stocks. In this way, the truth of the news in the "Oriental Daily" news is even more confusing, and the effect of public opinion is better. At this time, Ma Chengkun and Wu Chengtai were staying in the same room, and Wu Chengtai was constantly instructing those under him to operate. Seeing that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate kept falling, and the decline was getting bigger and bigger, Ma Chengkun smiled and said to Wu Chengtai: "Wu Sheng, it seems that our plan has worked well. You Tianwu Securities'' strength It¡¯s also strong enough. The share price of Dafa Real Estate is falling faster and faster. Victory is recruiting us! Haha!" Wu Chengtai smiled, but still said: "Ma Sheng, when it is not time to be happy, there will still be variables and you have to be careful." "Wu Sheng, don¡¯t worry about UU reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com. Our methods have not been fully implemented. Tomorrow I will publish an article in the Oriental Daily to influence public opinion. With our achievements today, Dafa Real Estate¡¯s share price will fall even if it doesn¡¯t fall. We also bought in other newspapers. Today they refused to publish the news, but now things have happened, they will definitely publish the news tomorrow. At that time, Dafa Real Estate will definitely die and cannot die again. "Jiuding Daily" wants to publish Dafa Real Estate¡¯s It''s impossible for the stock price to pull up. You just need to prepare to get Dafa Real Estate in your pocket." Ma Chengkun said with a smile, thinking of tomorrow''s "Jiuding Daily" embarrassing scenes, he felt very happy. It is true that his own newspapers are falling every day these days. He is so angry every day. The source is the "Jiuding Daily". Now it is causing trouble to the "Jiuding Daily", and it is still a fatal blow. Ma Chengkun feels more refreshed. It''s refreshing to eat iced watermelon on a hot day. Not to mention that Ma Chengkun is happy, Wu Chengtai is also in a good mood. According to the current momentum, although he has lost a lot of money, this is the upfront cost that must be invested. But if the stock price of Dafa Real Estate is beaten to the bottom tomorrow, he can buy Dafa Real Estate at the bottom, and all the costs invested at that time will be recovered. Not only did he make a lot of money, he also took the opportunity to expand his own Mingheng Real Estate. , And also retaliated against "Jiuding Daily" and reported the revenge of Mingheng Industrial, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone! When the time comes, his prestige in the family will reach a new peak, and his brothers will threaten him less, which will be more conducive to him to take charge of the Wu family. Everything depends on tomorrow! Ma Chengkun and Wu Chengtai have almost flashed this thought in their hearts, looking forward to tomorrow''s victory! Ps: I took the risk and made three more changes, and I will be obedient in the future. Everybody asks for votes! Chapter 68: 4-faced Not long after, Li Zhaoxu held a press conference, stating that there is no problem with Dafa Real Estate¡¯s capital chain and the media is requested not to spread rumors. However, when the media asked Dafa Real Estate¡¯s shareholders to transfer stocks, Li Zhaoxu insisted that there was no such thing. However, when a reporter from a newspaper accurately stated the names of the three shareholders and the number of shares transferred, Li Zhaoxu finally changed. Even though his complexion returned to calm in time, it was still clearly photographed by the media present at the time. The next moment, the scene was completely boiling. As you can imagine, the effect of the press conference was not good. It did not curb the decline in Dafa Real Estate¡¯s share price. On the contrary, because of being caught in a painful footstep, people believed the report of Oriental Daily and Dafa Real Estate¡¯s share price. Fall faster. True or false news is more confusing and harmful than false news! In the stock market, many stockholders who were convinced that Dafa Real Estate would rise after reading Xia Yu¡¯s stock reviews in the "Jiuding Daily" before suddenly encountered a sudden drop in Dafa Real Estate¡¯s share price. Many people were reading the "Oriental Daily" After the news, some people who were not determined to see the stock price of Dafa Real Estate fell so fiercely, they were worried that it would fall even worse, so they panic directly sold. As a result, no one bought it, and the stock price continued to fall, which made many investors who wait and see more panicked. Many people who believed in Xia Yu and the "Jiuding Daily", who invested all their wealth in it, began to scold their mothers. Those with a bad mentality even directly criticized Xia Yu. This cast a shadow over the hearts of other people who followed suit to buy stocks. Investors who want to buy stocks recommended by Xia Yu are somewhat discouraged and want to wait and see. This situation became more serious the next morning, because many investors who paid attention to this matter thought that the Jiuding Daily would have an explanation, so they bought the Jiuding Daily early in the morning, but found that Xia Yu wrote as usual The stock appraisal stocks turned a blind eye to the slump in the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, which puzzled many people who followed the matter. But after seeing the report of the "Oriental Daily", everyone panicked, because in the "Oriental Daily", in addition to further advocating the negative news of Dafa Real Estate, there were also large-scale articles criticizing the "Jiuding Daily". With Xia Yu, several pictures were published in the report. The pictures showed stock investors'' faces full of grief and indignation. They were also accompanied by text explanations, indicating that stock investors had bought stocks after hearing Xia Yu and the "Jiuding Daily" stock reviews, but suffered a miserable loss. Up! What''s more, what makes many people even more alarmed is that in addition to the "Oriental Daily", some other major newspapers also reported negative news about Dafa Real Estate and questioned Dafa Real Estate. Forget it, there are many other newspapers, like the Oriental Daily, directly attacking the Jiuding Daily and Xia Yu, claiming that Xia Yu¡¯s name is false and the recommended stocks are unreliable. They use public opinion to manipulate the stock price. After the first-class limelight is weakened, it will be revealed, and those who buy stocks will lose money! Suddenly, many people discovered that the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry was unknowingly flooded with news that was unfavorable to Dafa Real Estate, Jiuding Daily and Xia Yu, and the situation became very unfavorable to Jiuding Daily within a day. Many stockholders have been affected. After the stock market opened, the share price of Dafa Real Estate plummeted by a large amount, and the downward trend was stronger than yesterday. Even many of the stocks recommended by Xia Yu have been affected, their gains have dropped sharply, and some stock prices have even begun to fluctuate. For the sudden change of the newspaper industry, many low-level tabloids were dumbfounded, but some discerning people saw the inside story. This is the "Oriental Daily"''s counterattack against "Jiuding Daily". Although it was late, the start was ruthless. The trick was fatal, and within a day, the "Jiuding Daily" fell into an embarrassing situation. As if only a day later, "Jiuding Daily" was facing the situation of being besieged. Many newspaper leaders put themselves in the position of "Jiuding Daily" and thought about it, but found that there was no way to solve it. They all had no confidence in "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu, and they did not know how he should break the situation. In their opinion, if If the crisis is not handled well this time, Jiuding Daily is likely to fail. Take advantage of the momentum to fly higher, and when the momentum is exhausted, the worse the fall! After learning about the situation, Zha Liangyong of Ming Pao shook his head with emotion and said: "Ma Chengkun started too ruthlessly, specializing in hitting the seven inches of Jiuding Daily, and the rise of Jiuding Daily has affected the interests of too many people. Now, there are not a few newspapers that have fallen into trouble. They are embarrassed on all sides. I don¡¯t know how that little friend Xia Yu should break the game?" From a rational analysis point of view, Zha Liangyong did not report any expectations of Xia Yu, but from the bottom of his heart, he also hopes that Xia Yu can break the game, not only because of his appreciation of Xia Yu, but also because of the "Oriental Daily" and Ma''s. Liangyong didn''t like it in his heart. And Hu Xian, the newspaper queen at the helm of Sing Tao Daily, also paid attention to this matter for the first time. After all, the Jiuding Daily, which is in the center of the whirlpool, is now the top-selling newspaper in Xiangjiang, while the other involved It was the "Oriental Daily" that had an antagonism with Hu Xian. When Hu Xian knew about it, he knew that the manipulators behind it were "Oriental Daily" and Ma Chengkun. The person who knows you best is your enemy! So Hu Xian could see the truth at a glance on this matter now, this vicious method can only be Ma Chengkun''s handwriting. Although the "Jiuding Daily" had an impact on the "Sing Tao Daily", after all, the impact was not big and it was a commercial competition. Hu Xian hadn''t hated the "Jiuding Daily" so stingly. He only hopes that "Jiuding Daily" can successfully overcome this difficulty After all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. If "Jiuding Daily" is really brought down by the "Oriental Daily", it will only help the "Oriental Daily". Hu Xian felt very uncomfortable thinking about the power of "Oriental Daily" once again, and thinking of Ma Chengkun''s proud look. Not only newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao" found out, the "Jiu Ding Daily" at the center of the whirlpool found out what was wrong at the first time and reported the situation to Xia Yu. Xia Yu was sitting in the office, with Yan Wenhan, Sun Xin, Zhao Cheng and others sitting below them. At this time, they all looked at Xia Yu nervously, wanting to know how to overcome the difficulties. Seeing them nervously and caring one by one, Xia Yu showed a faint smile. Seeing that the boss was in a good mood and laughed, Sun Xin and others were also affected, and their anxious mood disappeared unconsciously. I don''t know when it will start, and the image of the boss Xia Yu in their minds becomes bigger and bigger. Now that the boss is not in a hurry, is this kind of urgent and critical situation not considered a big deal to the boss? The boss still has a solution? "Boss, do you have a solution? Now other employees in the company are panicked and worried about problems with the company." Zhao Cheng asked quickly. "Don''t worry, I have my own solution, everything is under control, you can comfort the employees and work hard, I can solve other things." Xia Yufeng smiled lightly. "Ring jing jing......" At that moment, the phone on Xia Yu''s desk rang suddenly. looked at the number, Xia Yu connected with a smile: "Hey, Liu Sheng...Okay, I''ll come right now..." After a while, Xia Yu hung up the phone. Ps: The new week is here again. I have been promoted to the elder of the Eight Bags of Beggars. Chapter 69: The wind is blowing "Well, you guys go to work first. I have something to go out for a while, and I will be fine after today." Xia Yu said to the staff present. He didn''t explain too much. After sending them away, he went out to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. After parking, Xia Yu took a copy of "Oriental Daily" and saw the first page above attacking "Jiuding Daily" and his news, Xia Yu sneered: "That''s the way it is! Then look at how I break the game!" Then Xia Yu directly threw the "Oriental Daily" into the trash can and walked into the Kowloon Stock Exchange with his head high. Coming to the seat of HSBC Securities, Xia Yu saw Liu Tianci at a glance and walked over: "Liu Sheng, I''m here, what''s the situation?" Liu Tianci did not waste time and went straight to the subject: "Xia Sheng, Dafa Real Estate''s decline today is even more violent. The stock price has fallen below 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is still falling. Tianwu Securities did not buy any movement. I think there is still room for decline." "Oh? Tianwu Securities is too greedy, and you will accept it before you see a good deal. This is because no one will fight him?" Xia Yu sneered. "The current situation of public opinion is too serious. I have to say that they have done a good job of creating an atmosphere. According to the current situation, it is estimated that no institution dares to enter the market and do a lot of real estate development. It is just that Tianwu Securities will definitely not expect us to come in." Liu Tianci The interface said, and Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile after looking at each other. "Xia Sheng, since you are the mainstay, I don''t know what price do you think is appropriate to enter the market?" Liu Tianci asked, looking at the stock price still falling. He also wanted to see how Xia Yu would analyze, and wondered if his analysis would be the same as Xia Yu. The timing of entering the market is very particular. If it is too fast, profits will decrease. If it is too slow, there will be fewer shares to be raised, and profits will also be lower. Therefore, this degree must be grasped well, and the stock price must be exhausted. It may fall even lower, and it is necessary to make sure to grab shares ahead of others. Anyone who can accurately grasp this degree is a master. "Quickly, wait a minute. According to the current trend, it is most suitable to enter the market if it falls to about 15 million." Xia Yu looked at the real-time registration of Liu Tianci''s appointment, and then looked at the decline in the share price of Dafa Real Estate. Shi, said after a little thought. The lower the stock price is suppressed, the lower the risk and the higher the profit for Xia Yu. After all, the lower the stock price, the smaller the room for downward decline, and the greater the room for upward rise. Xia Yu is more favorable. "In that line, the account has been arranged enough and the manpower is ready. It''s all about Xia Sheng''s show." Liu Tianci smiled lightly. "It''s our good show." Xia Yu smiled and corrected. "Haha!" Liu Tianci laughed. ¡­¡­ On the other hand, Ma Chengkun was still in Wu Chengtai¡¯s command room, watching the depressed stock price of Dafa Real Estate, then looking at the floating profits on the account, and thinking of the panic situation in the "Jiuding Daily", Ma Chengkun was overstocked. The gloom of a few days was wiped out, not to mention it was refreshing, and the mood was extremely good. "Wu Sheng, when are you going to buy the bottom?" Ma Chengkun asked. "Wait, I got the news that Dafa Real Estate wanted to buy back shares and struggled once, but Li Zhaoxu couldn''t do so. Except for him, other shareholders didn''t want to buy back. If he dashed his hopes, he would be able to do it all at once. Swallowed Dafa Real Estate." Wu Chengtai sneered. Yesterday afternoon, several shareholders of Dafa Real Estate contacted him, intending to sell his shares to him and leave. Wu Chengtai and those who came would not refuse to accept all as ammunition to suppress the stock price today, and they also told Wu Chengtai , Li Zhaoxu intends to rely on the repurchase of stocks to enhance investor confidence, and requires other shareholders to also raise funds to buy back. However, it is estimated that Li Zhaoxu will be vomiting blood today, because besides him, almost all the other shareholders have sold their shares. They all know Wu Chengtai''s determination to suppress the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, and also accept the purchase price given by Wu Chengtai. , Don''t dare to be greedy, just sell out and exit Now, Wu Chengtai is already calculating the shares in Li Zhaoxu''s hands, because Dafa Real Estate was founded by Li Zhaoxu. Although he introduced shareholders in the middle of the process and allocated many shares and diluted many shares in order to be listed, Li Zhaoxu still has about 30% of the shares. , Wu Chengtai wants to swallow Dafa Real Estate wholly, he must take the shares in Li Zhaoxu''s hand. But if he wants to take the shares in Li Zhaoxu¡¯s hands, Wu Chengtai must break Li Zhaoxu¡¯s confidence. He also inquired clearly through his contacts. Li Zhaoxu¡¯s funds are not much, only more than two million. Li Zhaoxu still wants to borrow from the bank, Wu Cheng Tai also mobilized contacts to say hello, which led to Li Zhaoxu not borrowing money. So as long as Li Zhaoxu''s funds of more than two million dared to enter the market to repurchase shares, Wu Chengtai would consume Li Zhaoxu''s funds and make him desperate. After Li Zhaoxu struggles, in the end Dafa Real Estate will only let Wu Chengtai knead, and finally eat it. At that time, it will be less difficult to acquire the shares in Li Zhaoxu''s hands. It can be said that Wu Chengtai has calculated every step and just waited for Li Zhaoxu to drill inside! Just then a subordinate suddenly ran over and shouted: "Boss, Dafa Real Estate held a press conference and claimed that it had prepared tens of millions of funds to buy back stocks." Wu Chengtai nodded, showing a playful smile: "Ten thousand yuan of funds? To deceive people who don''t know, I will see how long your ¡®ten million funds¡¯ can support!" "Always pay attention, as long as someone buys stocks, I will be forced to suppress the stock price and drain the other party''s funds!" Wu Chengtai ordered. "Good boss!" Replied solemnly under his hand, and then ran back again to deliver Wu Chengtai''s order. ¡­¡­ At the seat of HSBC Securities, Xia Yu is ready, and HSBC employees next to him, under Liu Tianci''s arrangement, heed Xia Yu''s instructions and helped Xia Yu complete the operation. In another place of HSBC, Liu Tianci also has people ready to operate at any time, and scan the goods simultaneously with Xia Yu. "Start buying!" Seeing that the time had come, Xia Yu gave an order to direct the operators to buy stocks. Seeing Xia Yu''s hands, Liu Tianci also started to sweep the goods. ¡­¡­ At the seat of ¡¡¡¡Tianwu Securities, a staff member saw that someone started buying the shares of Dafa Real Estate. He immediately executed Wu Chengtai''s order to continue to suppress the stock price, and then a dedicated person reported to Wu Chengtai. "Boss, someone has already started to buy, and now they are continuing to suppress the stock price!" An employee trot over to report to Wu Chengtai. Wu Chengtai nodded to indicate that he knew, then stood up and said to Ma Chengkun, "Ma Sheng, go, let''s go over there and see." "Haha!" Ma Chengkun laughed and stood up to see the actual operation. ¡­¡­ Ps: Silver has been voted to lose contact in Dongguan~ ~: We have added more benefits, come in and have a look! There may be three shifts tomorrow. The new book term really cannot be updated. Generally, it is best to keep four thousand words as much as possible. However, the data of this book has increased to my taste. I am embarrassed to speak when I ask for recommendations and I am very embarrassed. There is no recommendation position, and the exposure rate is not good. I have no choice but to accept it silently. However, if the recommended click is higher, it will at least make you feel better, and the codewords are more motivated. I originally agreed not to change it, but tomorrow is Tuesday, and it is estimated that it will be the day for the recommendation. I am not confident, please ask for a recommendation, but I am not too shameless, knowing that it is not good to keep asking for help. . Others add at least two thousand referral votes or ten thousand rewards to add a chapter, even three thousand referral votes, I am not a regular addition, and do not give a reward, I ask everyone to vote, don¡¯t forget. The recommendation is now 358. If it reaches 1,000 before 12 noon tomorrow, that is, it will only increase 642. I will add one more to everyone. The three shifts tomorrow will total 6,000 words. I hope that you will not be too small and try your best. Will it be updated before it goes on the shelves? I don¡¯t know. Depending on my mood, I¡¯m a little arbitrary, or neurotic, sometimes I just do whatever I think of. Oh, by the way, there is no need to send recommendation red envelopes, don¡¯t waste money, really, I didn¡¯t joking with everyone! If you vote actively, even if there are only one or two, even if you don¡¯t reach it in the end, add it if you are in a good mood. Although I value data very much, I value attitude more. Otherwise, if I want to vote, I can still get a few hundred dollars. You can also brush tens of thousands of votes, but that''s self-deception and boring. Don¡¯t send red envelopes to the collection. It¡¯s useless. On the contrary, it¡¯s more uncomfortable to see the collection later, and it hurts confidence. Moreover, when it is put on the shelves, the subscription ratio is lowered, which affects my recommendation position after the shelves. Well, that''s it, thank you everyone for watching my negative energy gossip, thank you! Chapter 70: Battle situation Before the time came back, when Xia Yu''s party and Tianwu Securities hadn''t fought, their eyes shifted to Dafa Real Estate. When Li Zhaoxu came to the premises of Dafa Real Estate Company again, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time. He held a press conference again. This time he invited reporters from the TV station to live broadcast, and once again stated that there was no problem with the company¡¯s capital chain. Someone maliciously shorted Dafa Real Estate and declared that they would spend a huge sum of tens of millions of dollars to repurchase shares, so that investors should have confidence in Dafa Real Estate. After ¡¡¡¡, Li Zhaoxu hurriedly entered the company, losing his calmness before the reporter. Although he claimed to spend tens of millions of dollars to repurchase the stocks, it was just fooling people. For the sake of the shareholders, he also wanted to produce materials to prove that the capital chain of Dafa Real Estate was okay, but the time was too short and not enough. Time allowed him to sort out the materials, and he did take another piece of land recently. The money has been invested, and the funds in the company''s account are not much, but they can be recovered in just a few days, but who knows this is the critical moment. He was given the opportunity. This time difference, the timing is too accurate, and it is also fatal to Dafa Real Estate. Li Zhaoxu cannot tell. Moreover, now that public opinion has been extremely unfavorable to Dafa Real Estate, and the stock has been shorted, Li Zhaoxu is anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Of course, this is not what makes him most distressed. What makes him most desperate is that in just one day, other shareholders can''t be contacted. He is left alone to support him. He also counts on other shareholders to provide funds. Buy back shares and accompany him through this hurdle. Unexpectedly, they can only share wealth, not the same adversity, and leave him at a critical moment. He knew that someone wanted to annex Dafa Real Estate, but as for who it was, he activated his contacts but didn''t ask it out. The disadvantage of a grassroots background is highlighted at this moment! Despite decades of hard work, his network circle does not belong to the upper level of Xiangjiang, and there are not many, only a few, that can help him at the critical moment. This is because he only raised more than two million yuan. I wanted to ask the bank to borrow to tide over the difficulties, but the long-term cooperative bank changed its face and refused to lend him a loan. Needless to say, he also knows that it is the wealthy family of Xiangjiang that can have such great energy, but he is not reconciled. He has worked hard for Dafa Real Estate for decades. He will never give up until the last moment, even if the hope is slim. Have to work hard again! Li Zhaoxu left the company urgently and went to the exchange. His two million funds had already arrived. He also found an organization to help him operate. Just when Li Zhaoxu¡¯s funds had entered the institution¡¯s account and was about to buy, he suddenly learned the news that a force was sweeping the stock, but the previous force that suppressed the stock price continued to suppress it. This proved that there were two parties, and two The people and horses have started fighting. When he heard the news, Li Zhaoxu was a little dazed. Why did he suddenly ran out of another family, did he want to fight the person who suppressed his share price or wanted to buy his Dafa real estate? Is it an enemy or a friend? The situation has become complicated again! Li Zhaoxu just wanted his own organization to join the team, but his friend told him: "Li Sheng, I suggest you look at the situation first. Your goal is to stabilize the stock price and raise the stock price. Now someone is ready to do this. No matter what the other party wants to do, it is at least beneficial to you! Other than you, others don¡¯t know that you are not the one who is acquiring the shares. There is a mistake, and it just helped you." "Moreover, your funds are too small, and it won''t help you go in. Now the situation is complicated, it is better to save it later to deal with emergencies!" Li Zhaoxu thought for a while, sighed and nodded in agreement: "Well, listen to you, let''s look at the situation first." ¡­¡­ After Xia Yu''s funds entered, the stock price of Dafa Real Estate stopped falling and fluctuated within a small range, and the stock exchange rate soared. Some stockholders who were already scared and eager to cut their meat and left the market saw that the stock price was no longer falling, and when someone took shares, they quickly dumped their shares. Others who are gambling will continue to wait and see, hoping that the bulls will win, and once again raise the stock price. This battle has not only attracted the attention of investors, but other institutions, large and small, are also constantly watching to see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Some institutions that borrowed Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock to Tianwu Securities and signed a short-sale gambling agreement with Tianwu Securities are also waiting for the opportunity. They knew about Tianwu Securities when they saw the stock price of Dafa Real Estate plummet. Wu Chengtai gave him a pitfall, but after analyzing the amount of funds and determination of Tianwu Securities, they all stayed away. First of all, these institutions don¡¯t know each other. They don¡¯t know which securities Tianwu Securities has made a betting agreement with other than themselves. Therefore, they dare not enter the market and fight Tianwu Securities. Not only is it too risky. , And there is no need, after all, the loss is at most, if you enter the market, the loss may be even greater. However, they will not catch it all at once. They started to inquire about the news at the first time when the stock price of Dafa Real Estate plummeted yesterday. They wanted to see if they could find an opportunity. Now, they finally saw the funds to enter the market. Tianwu Securities is fighting, and only fighting. After so long, it means that there is a chance. Many institutions pay close attention to it in order to follow the winning party in the first time. Let¡¯s talk about Xia Yu¡¯s methodical sweeping of stocks. After sweeping away the scattered stocks on the market, the stocks that Tianwu Securities smashed down are not rejected. In his opinion, Tianwu Securities is a wealthy boy. To sell a penny of stock is to give Xia Yu money. Of course, if Xia Yu¡¯s funds run out and the stock price continues to fall under pressure, then Xia Yu must have lost, but could Xia Yu¡¯s funds run out? Whoever can''t stand it first will be unlucky first and will pay for failure! To a certain extent, the comparison is the amount of funds! This time, there is almost no technical content. Xia Yu can crush Tianwu Securities with funds and survive to the final victory. Blame Tianwu Securities and Ma Chengkun for failing to find out the bottom of Xia Yu and underestimating Xia Yu. Funds and energy. Soon, Xia Yu has bought Dafa Real Estate stocks with 2 million funds. Because Xia Yu can better grasp the speed and timing of each order, he has bought 1.2 million funds. Liu Tianci¡¯s stock is around 800,000. ¡­¡­ As time goes by, the fight has been going on. "Boss, the other party has bought stocks of about 2 million yuan, but the other party''s offensive is unabated, isn''t it..." his staff reported to Wu Chengtaihui. "Don''t worry, the other party only has about 2 million funds, which is almost exhausted, work harder, and then press down on the stock price." Wu Chengtai waved his hand, not caring about the employees'' worries, and ordered again. Victory is in sight, and the corners of Wu Chengtai''s mouth can''t help but curl up. Chapter 71: Suddenly The employees immediately obeyed the order, and Tianwu Securities'' selling intensity was once again intensified. But, as time passed, Wu Chengtai''s smile began to recede, his brows frowned slowly, and he stared at the situation in the court. 2.2 million! 2.5 million! three million! Seeing that the other party''s buying funds have been increasing and the momentum is not diminishing, Wu Chengtai frowned tightly and realized that something was wrong. Wu Chengtai called immediately. After the call was over, his brows wrinkled tighter. Just now he called and asked someone. A friend told him that Li Zhaoxu''s funds were only 2 million yuan, which had been transferred to an organization, and no other funds were injected into Li Zhaoxu''s or Dafa Real Estate''s account. It¡¯s just that, now that the funds have exceeded three million, did Li Zhaoxu where he raised the funds? It''s just impossible! "Any other institutions have entered?" Wu Chengtai thought to himself. "Wu Sheng, what''s the situation now? What happened?" Ma Chengkun asked uneasyly when he saw Wu Chengtai''s expression change. "Something has happened and it is still under control. I will check it out first." Wu Chengtai said briefly, and did not tell Ma Chengkun his guess. Then Wu Chengtai immediately ordered his hands to inquire about the news and see if there was any No other institutions entered. "Go on, don''t stop, and suppress the stock price hard for me." Wu Chengtai ordered the employees again. It is impossible for him to stop, he can only walk one way to the dark, no matter which institution comes in, he must persist. After all, up to now, in order to suppress the stock price, he has invested more than 10 million in funds. If he stops, his initial investment will be lost! If he continues to follow the plan, there are more than 6 million floating profits that have been shorted up to now. As long as the final plan is successful, he will not only spend more than 20 million to swallow Dafa Real Estate, but also make a short profit of 6 to 700 It can be said that the final price is more than 10 million to buy Dafa Real Estate, the profit is amazing! However, this is only possible when everything goes smoothly. If he fails, he will not only lose more than 20 million funds, but he will also pay the price for short-selling! It can be said that the profits are amazing, but the risks are also great! One side is heaven, the other side is hell! According to Wu Chengtai''s plan, the risk was within control, but in the final critical period, the sudden emergence of unknown funds caused the plan to gradually get out of Wu Chengtai''s control, and the risk gradually increased... As time passed, watching the other party¡¯s purchase of funds still did not decrease, and the person inquiring about the news on his own side had not returned the news, Wu Chengtai became a little anxious, his expression increasingly ugly, but he still insisted on continuing to suppress the stock price. He is already fierce and must fight to the end. There is no way out, it depends on who can''t hold it first! Moreover, he also began to worry that if he didn''t beat his opponent down for so long, it would cause speculation in other institutions, and it would be troublesome then! After observing for a period of time, I found that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has been anxious, and the stock price has a rising trend from time to time. Other institutions that have been paying attention have begun to liven up. It seems that the power of bulls is not worse than that of bears? Not only institutions, investors who hold shares in Dafa Real Estate, or investors who simply watch the excitement are all attracted by the battle surrounding Dafa Real Estate. On an institutional seat in a corner of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, one person looked at the battle of Dafa Real Estate and thought about it for a moment: "It seems that the bulls are not weak, take a gamble!" Immediately after he gritted his teeth, his eyes became firm, and his opponent quickly ordered: "Buy Dafa Real Estate, test it, and buy 300,000 in advance." "Good manager!" The subordinates quickly executed his orders. This scene happened in several places one after another, and several organizations saw the opportunity and prepared to fight. As soon as they joined the rush, the share price of Dafa Real Estate went up by a short while. When seeing this situation, Wu Chengtai instantly realized that it was not good. Other organizations thought they had a chance to take advantage of it. They have already joined in. The strength of the bulls has soared. Accordingly, his pressure has also increased and the risks have increased. Pull up again. "Damn it!" Wu Chengtai scolded with an ugly face. The room leak happened to rain overnight, and the situation he was worried about really happened. He used to avoid this situation, so the momentum of suppression was very fierce at the beginning, just to deter other institutions, so that other institutions would not dare to oppose him. I just didn''t expect that after the unknown agency funds entered the field, the battle situation would become anxious, making other agencies think that he was easy to bully. Wu Chengtai can also foresee that other institutions are still trying to follow the trend with small funds. If they do not repel them strongly and are found out by them, then it will be the disaster of the top, so he must continue to suppress the stock price. , Can no longer be anxious. "Intensify the selling, I must beat the stock price down!" Wu Chengtai''s eyes became fierce, and UU reading gritted his teeth and ordered again. The operating staff did not answer the call, but they continued their operation with all their attention, smashing out more stocks, and the purchase orders were really cleared in an instant, and the stock price of Dafa Real Estate began to fall again. Wu Chengtai stared closely at the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, paying attention to the situation on the market, not daring to be distracted, praying that this wave of operations would calm other institutions and let them temporarily stop. In the stock market, the general trend is the most important. Now the general trend is still on Wu Chengtai''s side. But if the bulls interrupt and let the bulls start, then Wu Chengtai will be unlucky. After all, for more profits at the beginning, but also for the end. Under Dafa Real Estate, Wu Chengtai was short selling with his own family. It can be said that he is weak, and he can only take it away if he wants to win. As long as there is a mistake in the middle, the risk will increase. Originally, he had prepared more than 20 million funds, and his confidence was still very high. Although the more funds are consumed in the later stage, the more he must guard against sudden attacks by others, but Wu Chengtai It is not unprepared, he relied on the public opinion panic created by the "Oriental Daily" and other newspapers to suppress stock prices, shorten operation time, and reduce risks. I just didn¡¯t expect that, I was seized by someone and went against the trend! ¡­¡­ I have to say that when Tianwu Securities became ruthless, it really suppressed some institutions. After all, when the stock price fell, they immediately lost money, and Tianwu Securities¡¯ determination also showed. For a while, they all hesitated and doubted. Have you made a mistake? Do you want to observe again? However, other institutions were suppressed, and Xia Yu was not persuaded. Ps: The number of votes has exceeded one thousand. Since the issue of the single chapter yesterday, more than 700 have been added. There have been more than 160 votes, which proves to be very good. Thank you for your recommendation! Chapter 72: The trend is gone After seeing the decline in the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, Xia Yu laughed instead: "Haha, it seems that Tianwu Securities is in a hurry, and their ammunition is about to bottom out." "Increase the rush to raise money and clear the selling order for me!" Xia Yu ordered with a big wave. Following Xia Yu''s order, the operator immediately manipulated multiple accounts to scan the goods and quickly cleared the low-price sell orders thrown by Tianwu Securities. Not only Xia Yu, but Liu Tianci also ordered to continue to sweep the goods. He really doesn¡¯t worry about losing money in this operation. As long as Tianwu Securities is beaten back, Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock price will slowly rise back, and may even retaliate. Rising, and like now the stock price of Dafa Real Estate is about to bottom out. If you grab a lot of shares now, you will make more money. The operation of Xia Yu was immediately discovered by Wu Chengtai. Seeing that the other party followed up without hesitation, Wu Chengtai had a murderous heart. He didn''t even know who was fighting him, but gave it to him. Having caused such a big trouble, he was furious with anger. "Continue to smash me, see who can hold it first!" Wu Chengtai ordered again in a harsh voice. Ma Chengkun on the side has been watching and witnessing the change of the situation with his own eyes, and then the situation has become more and more serious. His face is also unsightly. After all, he also invested 10 million in funds. If he loses, how can he explain to the family? ! Therefore, Ma Chengkun was also anxious, but he did not dare to disturb Wu Chengtai out loud. He knew that the situation was tense now, and he could easily add chaos to Wu Chengtai. He could only pray for the success of this plan. It is related to his 10 million funds and also related to the "Oriental Daily"! Because of the breaking news of Dafa Real Estate, the sales of "Oriental Daily" yesterday ended the downward trend for more than ten consecutive days. It also increased by 20,000 sales and climbed to 140,000 sales again. He also expects today¡¯s Sales rose again. However, if this plan fails and Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock price rises back again, then readers will think that the "Oriental Daily" is spreading rumors, and those stockholders who have sold the stock to cut meat to stop losses will only spread grievances on the "Oriental Daily". Will criticize the "Oriental Daily" for spreading rumors, it will be a serious blow to the authority of the "Oriental Daily", Ma Chengkun cannot afford the price! If these possible crises do not occur, the only way is to succeed in this plan. Wu Chengtai successfully acquired Dafa Real Estate. As long as Wu Chengtai does not say anything, no one knows whether the capital chain of Dafa Real Estate is broken, and other citizens will also Wouldn''t know that the "Oriental Daily" was spreading rumors. It can be said that in order to succeed in the plan, the "Oriental Daily" also took the risk and made a bet with the authority that it has managed so hard to manage over the years! So, this time, Wu Chengtai can''t afford to lose, nor can he, Ma Chengkun! It''s a pity that things are not as good as they wanted. This time, I was going to disappoint Ma Chengkun! No matter how many sell orders Tianwu Securities slapped, Xia Yu always refused to come, but did not give Wu Chengtai a chance. Dafa Real Estate''s share price became anxious again, and even went up a bit. ¡­¡­ Where Li Zhaoxu is, his friend said to him: "Li Sheng, it seems that the strength of the bulls is no worse than that of the bears. The crisis of Dafa Real Estate seems to have a great chance to pass. You can rest assured." Li Zhaoxu nodded, he did feel more at ease. "By the way, Li Sheng, it seems that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has not fallen too much, and it is very likely to rise again. Otherwise, the bulls cannot be so determined. I suggest you immediately join in the rush to make a profit. " "Okay, please help me with the operation and grab as many shares as possible." Li Zhaoxu agreed without hesitation, and he could see this without his friends. Then, Li Zhaoxu also joined the team to raise money. In addition, other previously suppressed institutions also found that the shorts seemed to be paper tigers and only bluffed. This time, they no longer hesitated and joined the team to grab the money. For a while, the power of the longs skyrocketed again. For Wu Chengtai, the situation has become more critical! toss! Continue toss! Smash hard! For Wu Chengtai, there is no way to go back. There is only one way to go to the end. Now he has lost more than 10 million yuan. If he fails, he will lose a few million yuan at most. The bulk of the initial cost has already been paid. Withdrawal will only fall short, as long as you persist until the final success, the gain will be unparalleled. The loss is doomed, and failure is irreversible. As long as the plan is successful, it can be reversed instantly! Either lose a few million more, or earn tens of millions. You can only choose one of the two. Although the second result seems to be farther and farther away from him, as long as there is a chance, Wu Chengtai will never give up! He has no choice but to win the bet! Wu Chengtai''s palms were unknowingly wet with sweat. His eyes were fixed on the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, and his heartbeat accelerated sharply. At this moment, the employees suddenly reported: "Boss, all the stocks in my account have been sold out." "Boss, my side is also polished!" "My side is..." ¡­¡­ One after another, other employees also reported. Hearing the employee''s report, Wu Chengtai''s heart stopped abruptly. He held his breath and looked at the stock price of Dafa Real Estate tightly, muttering: "Fall, fall, fall!" However, things backfired. Tianwu Securities'' selling orders were cleared in an instant. Then, a lot of buying orders were smashed, and the stock price of Dafa Real Estate fluctuated for a while and began to rise. "Do not!" Wu Chengtai only felt black for a while. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the employees next to him hurriedly supported him, but he had no time to take care of him. Watching Dafa Real Estate¡¯s share price start to rise, Wu Chengtai only felt A suffocation. Ma Chengkun was not much better. His face became very ugly and his heart was messed up. For a while he thought that he had lost 10 million, and then he thought that "Oriental Daily" would be hit hard, and then he thought that the sales of "Jiuding Daily" would continue. rise. Thinking of "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu, he would be proud Ma Chengkun was about to vomit blood in anger. At this moment, the employee who was sent out to inquire about the news finally ran back out of breath. Although he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, he didn''t think too much, because he trembled after hearing the news. He didn''t even think about it. I hurried back to report to the boss because the news was too big. "Boss, I have heard the news, the funds come from HSBC Securities!" Hearing the employee''s report, Wu Chengtai only felt that his heart was hit again. His lips trembled and said, "How can it be HSBC Securities? What does it have to do with HSBC Securities?" ps: This chapter is added and updated, and I am too lazy to post it in the afternoon. The starting point of click statistics is that all the clicks within six hours of the same person can only be counted once. Now, there will be half fewer clicks, but fewer clicks are less. Click it. It doesn''t look comfortable after separation. There is not much content, so I''m lazy to score. Today is gone. Tomorrow will be posted as usual. Whether it can be added later depends on the mood. There is a sentence in my heart that is uncomfortable and unpleasant, the same book that was published a day earlier than me, the number of words is more than 20,000 less than mine, so that I can divide more than ten chapters at least, if I make a more regular rule, the least need Twenty to thirty thousand votes can have so many words, but I have never done this before. I can feel my conscience and say that I am really awesome. I have changed 160,000 words in a month, an average of more than 5,000 words per day, but I was originally a new book issue. Just 120,000 words a month, 40,000 more words. It''s just that the previous data increase is really disappointing. The clicks are higher than others, and the recommendation is half of others. I am also helpless. Several times I wondered if I did it wrong before. Okay, it''s a lot of long-winded, panicked, so be it. Thank you friends who voted, I hope you can continue to support, thank you, I wish everyone a happy life! Everything goes well! Chapter 73: Xia Yu HSBC Securities! Like his parent company HSBC, it is also the hegemon in a field and a giant in the Hong Kong stock market. How dare Wu Chengtai go against HSBC Securities? The funds alone can be crushed by HSBC Securities and rubbed a dozen back and forth on the ground. If HSBC Securities is determined to end, even a junk stock can be speculated, and no one What can I do with it? After all, HSBC is the king of Hong Kong''s financial industry, and there are major British families behind it. Sometimes the Hong Kong Governor''s face is not good. But I didn¡¯t expect that the one who had been fighting with him just now would be HSBC Securities. If he knew it was HSBC Securities, he would have stopped the loss a long time ago. Fuck with HSBC Securities? How could he do such an unwise thing as an egg touches a stone? The news from the employees came too late! ! ! Wu Chengtai also couldn''t figure it out. His plan was very thorough. In order to increase the success rate, he had shortened the planning time as much as possible. He planned to solve it today, plus it took only two days yesterday. According to the usual experience, even if HSBC Securities has an idea, it should not have made a decision so quickly. Why is it so fast this time! And so determined! "Boss, I also inquired that although the funds flowed out from HSBC Securities, there were two groups of people. I found out that one group of people included the boss of Jiuding Daily, and the other group was from the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities. General Manager Liu Tianci personally led the team." The employee who inquired about the news spoke again. "How is it possible! How could HSBC Securities stand by his side! Impossible!" Before Wu Chengtai could speak, Ma Chengkun blurted out, looking shocked. Liu Tianci, the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, is a big boss. Even if it is the top executives in HSBC Securities, it can be regarded as the middle and high level in HSBC. How can he stand with Xia Yu? , Also against Tianwu Securities! This is completely beyond Ma Chengkun''s expectations! The owner of "Jiuding Daily" Xia Yu has only been in a family for more than ten days. Even if he makes a million, he cannot have such a good relationship with Liu Tianci. After killing Ma Chengkun, he couldn¡¯t think of how close Liu Tianci and Xia Yu were. The blame was on him for being behind in the news. He thought Xia Yu was just a cat, but he didn¡¯t expect that Xia Yu had already become a tiger. Yu, can only send meat into Xia Yu''s mouth. As for the energy of Liu Tianci and HSBC Securities, Wu Chengtai, a man who has been in the stock market for more than ten years, knew more clearly. He immediately realized that the intelligence was incorrect. He stared at Ma Chengkun, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ma Chengkun, you cheat me!" Wu Chengtai''s tone is full of unwillingness! Ma Chengkun, who was in a bad mood, had a bad attitude. He was so upset that he didn''t care about Wu Chengtai''s identity, and shouted at Wu Chengtai: "I **** want to know what''s going on, I also lost 10 million. I also bet on the Oriental Daily, you said I cheated you, why did I cheat you?" Hearing Ma Chengkun''s roar, Wu Chengtai was silent. Indeed, as Ma Chengkun said, the price he paid was no less than that of him. It is impossible to cheat him. Now that it is, Wu Chengtai does not need to quarrel with Ma Chengkun anymore. This will not help. But he is not reconciled! It took so much effort and effort to implement this plan. I thought it was foolproof. I thought I could earn tens of millions. It could also swallow Dafa Real Estate to complete the family''s real estate strategy, stabilize its status as the owner of the family, and at the same time start Tianwu Securities. Fame, I didn''t expect to lose all the games now. Not only did he lose more than 10 million yuan, but Ma Chengkun also lost 10 million yuan. Then he will face the loss of short-selling gambling. And because of this failure, his prestige is also a serious blow. His brothers will definitely attack him, and his position as the head of the house will be unstable. All this is the consequence of failure! The contrast between the two is too big! There is no harm if there is no comparison, the gap is too big, and the damage to his psychology is doubled! At this moment, Wu Chengtai just wanted to find a corner to be calm and calm. The blow was too big! Similarly, Ma Chengkun is not much better. Two difficult brothers! Can only say it deserves it! For a while, the entire space became quiet, and the atmosphere became very depressing. ¡­¡­ Of course, compared to the loss of Wu Chengtai and Ma Chengkun, Xia Yu and Liu Tianci are happy. At this time, on the HSBC side, Xia Yu is still arranging people to continue to scan the stock, as long as someone sells stocks, they will sweep in, and then continue to increase the stock price of Dafa Real Estate. Other institutions are also cooperating with Xia Yu¡¯s actions. After all, they have the same interests. Because the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has risen again, and the rise continues unabated, other investors who hold Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stocks are grateful that they are willing to sell their stocks when the price rises. The most difficult period has passed. How can you sell the stock now? And those investors who were not firm enough in their hearts to sell the shares of Dafa Real Estate, now that they hate in their hearts, some people directly smoke their own two big mouths, so that they can remember and hate that they are not firm enough or not enough. I believe Xia Yu and "Jiuding Daily". But most people don¡¯t think it¡¯s their own fault, so there must be a backer. Of course, the "Oriental Daily" was remembered by them. If it weren''t for the "Oriental Daily" to sing about Dafa Real Estate, None of them will be affected by selling the shares of Dafa Real Estate. "I lost my mother Lei¡¯s "Oriental Daily" and I suffered a terrible loss. If I will buy it again in the future, I will be a son of a bitch!" "The tortoise son of "Oriental Daily", £¤%¡­¡­&¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­ One person scolded, and the others seemed to have found a way to vent their emotions. They also yelled at them. All of a sudden, a scolding sounded from the Kowloon Stock Exchange. Other people also made up their minds that the future news published by the "Oriental Daily" should not be messy, and what is more, they simply don''t plan to buy the "Oriental Daily". Hearing the sound of swearing outside, Ma Chengkun''s face turned pale, but his heart was cold. It is conceivable that after today, the reputation, authority and sales of Oriental Daily will be severely affected. Word of mouth is difficult to build, but it only takes one mistake to destroy it! ¡­¡­ Seeing that the order to sell Dafa Real Estate is almost gone but more and more orders are paid, Xia Yu''s smile is getting better and better. I then counted the number of stocks in all accounts on his side, and Xia Yu was even more happy. All accounts add up to a total of 30% of the shares. If the stock price of Dafa Real Estate rises to 60 million market value, Xia Yu¡¯s 30% of the shares will be worth 18 million. But you have to know that these shares were copied by Xia Yu in the low position. They were almost sent by Tianwu Securities, and 30% of the shares cost about 5 million. Now that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has been speculated again, the market value has climbed from a trough to about 25 million. This 30% of the shares have a market value of 7.5 million, and Xia Yu has already made a floating profit of 2.5 million. And this is not the end! As long as Dafa Real Estate proves that the capital chain is okay, and after this crisis, Xia Yu has so many powers, Dafa Real Estate can surely climb to a market value of 60 million again, and it may rebound in revenge, exceeding 60 million market value. Even if it only restores the market value of 60 million yuan, Xia Yu''s 30% share can float to 13 million yuan, which is definitely a big profit! This is still a financial result. Think about the impact on the "Jiuding Daily" yesterday and today. As long as the battle of Dafa Real Estate spreads, the "Jiuding Daily" will definitely be more brilliant and its authority will increase. After this ordeal, "Jiuding Daily" has experienced a baptism, and there are many benefits, such as the confidence and sense of honor of the company''s employees. It can be said that Xia Yu has gained so much, no wonder he is so happy. Ps: Don¡¯t forget to vote after watching (???¦Å???) Chapter 74: Revenge At first, Xia Yu was still worried about changes, but he didn''t expect that the situation would be calm, so Tianwu Securities was an opponent. asked Xia Yu to enter the venue with ten times the capital, 80 million yuan, it was a cannon to fight mosquitoes. In the end, it only spent five million, and even the eight million capital was not used. Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. But, it doesn¡¯t matter what it is, it¡¯s best if there is no accident. It is impossible to say that after victory, I blame myself for being too prepared. There is no such saying! "Liu Sheng, how many shares have you acquired?" Xia Yu asked Liu Tianci, who was equally happy. "All accounts add up to 25%, what about you?" Liu Tianci said with a smile, and asked Xia Yu. 25% of the shares of Dafa Real Estate were bought at almost the same price as Xia Yu. The speed of the start was a bit slower than Xia Yu, and I did not predict the price of the purchase order, so I did not grab so many shares of Xia Yu. But for the 25% of the stock, it cost about 4.2 million. As long as the stock price is pulled back, he can also make about 11 million. Although it is not his money, he cannot enter his pocket. But he manages the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities. The results belong to him. He can''t run away. He will always be rewarded. "A total of 30%." Xia Yu said with a smile. Liu Tianci gave Xia Yu a thumbs up, and said with emotion: "Awesome!" In Liu Tianci¡¯s view, Xia Yu is indeed powerful. He and Xia Yu command a group of people at the same time. They are both employees of HSBC Securities. They are not short of funds. However, Xia Yu just grabbed more shares, which had to let Liu Tianci Admire, Xia Yu''s ability to grasp timing and analysis is indeed strong, even more powerful than him, which makes him very emotional. This time, in addition to Xia Yu and HSBC Securities making money, other institutions that seized the opportunity also took a sip. After all, except for Li Zhaoxu¡¯s 30% shares, Xia Yu and Liu Tianci total 55% of the shares, and then remove HSBC. A small part of securities originally held, and less than 15% of the shares are outside, either in the hands of institutions or in the hands of investors, waiting to make money. "In the next few days, we will pull back the stock price of Dafa Real Estate, and then slowly reduce its holdings to cash out." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Liu Sheng, you have to rely on your help. We have 55% of the shares together. It is very difficult to maintain the stock price!" Xia Yu said to Liu Tianci. Indeed, as Xia Yu said, it is indeed difficult for so many stocks to be released at a high level. The more stocks released, the easier it is to affect the stock price. It is difficult to sell so many stocks while maintaining a high stock price. It''s too big, it will take a while. "Xia Sheng, rest assured, leave it to us. Although there are more stocks, there is still a way." Liu Tianci said lightly. This matter may be very difficult for other institutions, but don''t forget that they are HSBC Securities. , The giant of the Hong Kong stock market, this kind of thing can still be done. Moreover, they helped Xia Yu sell the stocks, but their HSBC Securities paid a commission. The higher the price they sold Xia Yu, the higher the commission they earned. How could they not care about this kind of money-making business? Too! Seeing Liu Tianci''s promise, Xia Yu didn''t say more, he believed Liu Tianci. Next, Xia Yu took the opportunity to look at other stocks. After seeing the specific situation, he couldn''t help but curl up at the corner of his mouth. He found that almost all the stocks recommended by the "Jiuding Daily" had also risen slightly. Unexpectedly, the impact of this battle appeared so soon, it is indeed the most well-informed stock market. Because of the influence of public opinion in the past two days, especially today, the "Oriental Daily" took the lead in attacking. Other newspapers followed suit and maliciously attacked "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu. In addition, there was a''proof'' that Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock price plummeted. Confidence is affected. Shareholders who bought stocks before were worried that other stocks would also be affected. Some people started to withdraw, and more people were holding stocks on the sidelines. If Dafa Real Estate really falls, it will definitely cause an avalanche. Other Xia Yu The recommended stocks will all be implicated and their stock prices will fall. Although these stocks have not fallen in the past two days, the rise has stopped and the stock price has begun to fluctuate. But now everyone knows that the battle of Dafa Real Estate is over. Seeing Dafadi¡¯s stock price rise again, many investors who are frightened are relieved, and their confidence in "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu is restored again, and even more. adequate. It is conceivable that in the time when the stock price of Dafa Real Estate continues to rise, the prices of other stocks will also rise. This is the function of stockholder confidence. As long as everyone believes that a stock will rise, no one is short and negative. When external factors such as news intervene, the stock price will be lifted up. Stock trading, the essence of stock prices is actually the psychological expectations of stockholders and institutions. Just like everyone thinks that when stocks are booming, the stock market will not fly to the sky! looked at the stock market again, and found that there was nothing for him to do now, Xia Yu planned to return to the company, and he had to go back to stabilize the company''s somewhat floating hearts. Besides, he has to go back and calculate how to make the "Oriental Daily" and other newspapers in the face tomorrow. To be so active today, if Xia Yu is not able to turn the danger into a waste, and someone else takes control of the "Jiuding Daily", it is really possible to be **** down This hatred, you have to pay! Xia Yu has never been the kind of Virgin who repays his grievances with virtue. If he dares to attack him, he has to leave some price! Moreover, Xia Yu also wanted to concoct the "Oriental Daily". Before that, it was just a normal business competition. Xia Yu did not say that he targeted the "Oriental Daily" specifically. He could only blame the "Oriental Daily" for being too scumbag and being seriously affected by the "Jiuding Daily". The impact. In fact, Xia Yu also said he was very innocent. It was like he was just doing his own exercises normally. As a result, because he had practiced peerless magic, the "Oriental Daily" was severely injured by the waves of his exercises. Can you blame him for his excellent kungfu? ? Xia Yu said that "Dongfang Daily" can only be blamed for being too useless! However, now the "Oriental Daily" is giving him a trick, and the attack is so ruthless, specifically targeting Xia Yu and "Jiuding Daily" for the seven-inch fight, then don''t blame Xia Yu for giving him the cruel trick! Why do I have to give the "Oriental Daily" a few face-slashing packages, over and over again, it is estimated that by then the newspaper queen of the "Sing Tao Daily" will be very happy to see it, and one more like-minded friend. Of course, the "Oriental Daily" was recorded by Xia Yu in a small book, and the other guy who was in charge of Xia Yu couldn''t escape, so we must settle the accounts! Tianwu Securities and Wu Chengtai were both ruthless. Although Xia Yu is like a boy who gives money, it is also Xia Yu''s ability to turn him into a boy who gives money. If he is replaced by ordinary people, Tianwu Securities is definitely a cannibal. The wolf that doesn''t spit out bones. Although they gave Xia Yu money, that is what they deserve! However, since he dared to calculate him, and even went into trouble with the "Oriental Daily", it was impossible for Xia Yu to let them go. did something that shouldn¡¯t be done, you have to pay the price! This has always been the case! Chapter 75: The knife stabbed hard, stabbed hard! Although Xia Yu and Wu Chengtai, or the grievances with the Wu family came from Mingheng Industrial, the reason was that Xia Yu broke the financial fraud problem of Mingheng Industrial and caused trouble to the Wu family, but Xia Yu would not think that It''s my own fault. It was originally the fault of the Wu family. Who would let them dare to falsify finances. Even if Xia Yu didn''t break through, someone would always find that the ending was the same. The source of the problem was in the Wu family. How could Xia Yu be blamed? Anyway, Xia Yu would never think it was his fault! Since it was not his fault, the Wu family still dared to deal with him in a mess with the "Oriental Daily", and was discovered by him, then it is impossible for Xia Yu not to return. After all, he is already an enemy. And this time they have suffered heavy losses. After Wu Chengtai knows, the grievance between Xia Yu and his Wu family will grow deeper. In this case, no matter whether he fights back or not, he ends up with enemies, so Xia Yu simply takes the initiative to prevent them from having time to trouble him. or abandon part of their strength first, even if they have to trouble Xia Yu again, they won''t have that much energy! The first is the best! Doesn''t the Wu family have Mingheng Industrial, Mingheng Real Estate and Tianwu Securities? Mingheng Industrial has been unlucky, and it is estimated that he has just crawled out of the pit. Xia Yu doesn''t mind stepping on it again and letting it fall back into the pit again. As for Mingheng Real Estate and Tianwu Securities, Xia Yu will let the Wu family know the power of public opinion! "Wait! Settlement one by one!" Xia Yu murmured with a sneer. Then, Xia Yu returned to the company. First, he told the employees that the stock price of Dafa Real Estate had begun to rise. The reports in newspapers such as "Oriental Daily" were all rumors. The attacks on "Jiuding Daily" were self-defeating, so that employees could feel at ease. jobs. Then, Xia Yu began to take out paper and pen and began to think. He had to play with his pen and carve out an exquisite article. These will be used tomorrow for the "Oriental Daily" and Wu''s family, as well as some of the troubles. Bastard''s weapon. With the passage of time, Xia Yu''s articles were revised and revised, and finally finished writing. He browsed the articles one by one, showing a satisfied smile, and then called to Zhao Cheng to arrange for him to put these articles on the front page tomorrow as much as possible. . After Zhao Cheng left, Xia Yu held the back of his head in both hands and stretched out, with an expression of expectation on his face, muttering: "In ancient times, Chen Lin scolded Cao Cao in an article asking for a thief. Learn Chen Lin once, haha, hope Ma Chengkun and Wu Chengtai will vomit blood." One day passed by Xia Yu¡¯s busy schedule. In the afternoon before the stock market was about to close, Xia Yu went to the Kowloon Stock Exchange again. When he saw that Dafa Real Estate¡¯s stock price had reached 30 million, Xia Yu was in a good mood again. a bit. Restore the stock price as soon as possible, and cash out the stock as soon as possible. The money in hand is called money. The profit in the stock market can only be regarded as a floating profit, and it can change. Ten million profits may disappear in an instant. Therefore, it is better to settle the bag early. ¡­¡­ Early the next morning, after the "Jiuding Daily" was delivered again, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry was shaken, only because this time the "Jiuding Daily" changed its previous harmless and neutral image of humans and animals, and became as sharp as a brave warrior. Generally, the war was directly provoked, and the gun was directed at a large group of people. "The "Oriental Daily" rumored that Dafa Real Estate''s capital chain was broken, and the purpose was to cooperate with Mingheng Real Estate''s acquisition and be embarrassed! For my own selfishness and abandon the fairness of the media, what qualifications do you have to run a newspaper!" " "Jiuding Daily": Tell everyone a joke. A guy with no bottom line colluded with a group of little hooligans to manipulate public opinion, saying that the newspaper manipulated public opinion, and the thief shouted to catch the thief!" "Don''t even think about exposing Mingheng Industrial''s financial fraud. It has been rotten to the bone. It is recommended that investors stop hopeful. Delisting is the most suitable result." "Tianwu Securities tried to short Dafa Real Estate and lost 30 million a day! The controller Wu Chengtai''s ability can be imagined. Are investors still waiting for bankruptcy without getting their funds back?" "The acquisition failed, and the capital loss was 30 million! Mingheng Real Estate¡¯s expansion strategy has been exhausted. Whether the capital chain is broken remains to be seen. I don¡¯t know whether Mingheng Industry will be staged again in Mingheng Real Estate. Let us wait and see! The risk is too great, Investors are advised to consider carefully!" ¡­¡­ The above are the core content of the article. The specific article is wonderful. Each article is like a beautiful knife. The knife stabs the target and bleeds them. Moreover, in order to prevent others from scolding the "Jiuding Daily" and spreading rumors, Xia Yu is very particular about his vocabulary. For example, when targeting Mingheng Industrial, Mingheng Real Estate and Tianwu Securities, there is nothing that makes people feel that it is a rumor, but as long as users read it, they will be guided to think about it. The effect is no better than rumor. Poor, the lethality is equally amazing. In addition, Dafa Real Estate became the protagonist of Xia Yu''s recommendation article once. This time, Dafa Real Estate is still optimistic about Dafa Real Estate, and investors are advised to buy. This is to raise the stock price of Dafa Real Estate. After all, there is this battle. In a short period of time, the share price of Dafa Real Estate is not worried about falling, so Xia Yu can safely recommend it, of course, the purpose is to make himself cash out soon. When "Jiuding Daily" came out, Zha Liangyong of "Ming Pao" was full of emotion: "This kind of unsolvable situation in my opinion was broken by him. The battlefield is in the stock market, but the newspaper''s siege has been solved. It turned into a victory in an instant, and also hit the Wu family and the "Oriental Daily" severely, turning hands for the clouds and raining for the hands. It''s amazing, and the hero is born a boy!" Hu Xian, the newspaper queen of "Sing Tao Daily", also got the news immediately. When he saw "Jiu Ding Daily" targeting "Oriental Daily" by name, Hu Xian couldn''t help laughing: "Ma Chengkun, You also have today, someone finally cleaned you up, haha..." In "Oriental Daily" it was another scene. After seeing the content of "Jiuding Daily", Ma Chengkun completely disregarded the image. He smashed everything he could smash in the office and yelled savagely: "Jiuding Daily, Xia Yu, you and I will never die, never die..." Dafa Real Estate, which has been implicated and manipulated, but is not the protagonist. After reading the "Jiuding Daily", the founder Li Zhaoxu looked complicated. He figured everything out, and then laughed at himself: "Because of the "Jiuding Daily" When I started, I was also affected by the "Jiuding Daily". I suffered a disaster and was frightened. In the end, I found that my company was just a battlefield for others. Haha, I struggled for a lifetime, but I was helped twice by a young man, hahaha , Ridiculous..." Thinking of the shareholders who abandoned him and went to the bottom of the well, Li Zhaoxu''s complexion was complicated and he muttered to himself: "I don''t know how they regretted seeing the current situation? People..." After this incident, Li Zhaoxu''s ambitions were severely hit. Suddenly, there was an impulse to look down on everything and want to go back to the mountains and forests. ¡­¡­ Of course, apart from the shock of these newspaper people, the citizens of Hong Kong were not idle. They liked to watch this kind of breaking news. They bought the "Jiuding Daily" to understand the situation. The content on it became their favorite. Dao¡¯s talk information, for a time, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" soared, and its authority soared. Of course, the most influential group of "Jiuding Daily" is the stockholders. After all, it is about their interests. They knew the news published in "Jiuding Daily" for the first time, and they knew that there were so many wars in the stock market yesterday. Insider, they spit on the behind-the-scenes manipulators "Oriental Daily" and Tianwu Securities, especially those investors who have lost money, who hate "Oriental Daily" and Tianwu Securities from the bottom of their hearts. As for the "Jiuding Daily", they are more supportive, especially those who believed in the words of the "Dongfang Daily" and doubted the "Jiuding Daily", after learning the "truth" reported by the "Jiuding Daily", they were all in their hearts. Some are guilty, and support the "Jiuding Daily" more than others. This sentiment appeared very obvious after the stock market opened. U U Reading For example, the stock prices of two companies, Mingheng Industrial and Mingheng Real Estate, plummeted as soon as the stock market opened, while Dafa Real Estate was the opposite, with stock prices skyrocketing. Many people who invested funds to the management of Tianwu Securities went to Tianwu Securities'' building before the opening of the stock market and asked for a refund of the funds. The office of the entire company was crowded with people, and the employees of Tianwu Securities were terrified. He didn''t dare to take over the matter at all, so he quickly called to inform his boss Wu Chengtai, but Wu Chengtai was already exhausted, so he dared to appear in Tianwu Securities Company again. It is conceivable that Wu Chengtai must hate Xia Yu in his heart, but he is too busy to take care of himself now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to find Xia Yu''s trouble for a long time, and has not solved the threat of "Jiuding Daily" to Mingheng Industrial and Mingheng Real Estate. Before, forgive him for not daring to trouble Xia Yu. Every article of Xia Yu has exerted great power and completed Xia Yu''s mission very well. The power of public opinion is evident! These situations were immediately known to the major newspapers that were paying close attention to them. Seeing the miserable situation of the Wu family and the "Oriental Daily", everyone had a lingering fear. This time, the Xiangjiang newspaper industry really felt the fierceness of "Jiuding Daily", and once again met Xia Yu, knowing that he is not only good at running newspapers, but also has strong marketing skills, but also uses the same methods. Ruthless, no room to start, to the enemy is to deal with death. Many newspapers have made up their minds not to play with the "Jiuding Daily" in the future. Everything comes upright. After all, there are lessons from the "Dongfang Daily" and the Wu family, and they have to be vigilant. Xia Yu''s hand to kill the chicken and the monkey, the effect is amazing! Ps: There are three thousand chapters again, sincerity is here, please recommend votes for support! Chapter 76: Again for On this day, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" reached a new high, reaching 300,000 copies, which once again broke the sales record of Xiangjiang Newspaper. The entire company was caught in laughter and laughter. After this crisis, everyone¡¯s spirit The gods have changed, which made Xia Yu very satisfied. The sales of "Oriental Daily" have been severely hit. Yesterday it was able to sell 140,000 copies, but as of this evening, the sales volume was only 100,000 copies, a new low! And it is completely predictable that the bad reputation will continue to ferment, and the sales of Oriental Daily will fall tomorrow. After all, Ma Chengkun made a bet with the fairness and authority of the "Oriental Daily" this time, and he would naturally bear the corresponding consequences if he lost the bet! However, most people refuse to admit their mistakes, and Ma Chengkun does the same. He would only think that this was caused by Xia Yu. Without the addition of HSBC Securities and Xia Yu, his plan would not fail at all, and the ending would be completely different! HSBC Securities did not dare to retaliate, but he is still capable of revenge against Xia Yu. This matter can only be discussed with the family elders at home. After all, the "Oriental Daily" under his control had such a major accident, and he had to explain it to his parents. With a heavy heart, after get off work, Ma Chengkun drove home with a gloomy face. In the Ma family¡¯s mansion, Ma Chengkun discovered that not only his father Ma Xizhen, but also his uncle Ma Xiru were also there today. Both pillars of the Ma family appeared at the same time. He knew that it was because of a major accident in the "Oriental Daily". Besides, his brothers Ma Chengfa and Ma Chengcai are also there. "Dad, uncle, this time things would not have been like this, but in the end there was an accident. Let me start from the beginning. At the beginning I found Wu Chengtai from the Wu family..." Ma Chengkun looked heavy, facing his father and Uncle, he didn''t specifically quibble, he began to talk in detail from the plan to the implementation and to the final result, every point was very detailed. The brothers Ma Xizhen and Ma Xiru did not interrupt him, and they kept listening to Ma Chengkun quietly. "Hmm!" Ma Xizhen nodded to her son Ma Chengkun, then looked at him and said: "Your plan can be said to be good, but in the end it failed. Do you know where the problem is?" Ma Chengkun lowered his head and did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he raised his head to face his father Ma Xizhen and said: "I didn''t know the foundation of "Jiuding Daily" and Xia Yu and acted boldly, which led to the failure of the plan." "Very well, it seems that you haven''t fainted yet, you are careless! I have taught you since you were young that you must know yourself and the enemy in everything you do, so that you can win all battles, but you forgot this time!" Ma Xizhen''s expression was calm and light. Looking at the three brothers Ma Chengkun, they said. Ma Chengkun was ashamed, and the two brothers Ma Chengfa nodded seriously. Seeing the attitude of the three of Ma Chengkun, Ma Xiru, who had not spoken aside, said, "Well, we can''t completely blame A Kun for this matter. We can''t reach HSBC even if we want to check this matter. learn a lesson." When Ma Xizhen heard what the elder brother said, he nodded and didn''t say more. In fact, he agreed with the elder brother''s words. "But!" Then, Ma Xiru said with a solemn expression, and all three brothers Ma Chengkun looked at him. "The "Oriental Daily" is related to the safety of our Ma family. It is the umbrella of our Ma family. There is no doubt about its importance. Now sales have dropped to 100,000 copies, 70,000 copies in less than a month, and its reputation has also been ruined. , If it is not saved, it will continue to fall. This must not be left alone, it must be saved!" Ma Xiru said. All the people present nodded. They all know the importance of "Oriental Daily" to the Ma family. "Also, the "Oriental Daily" is the face of our Ma family, and not everyone can fight it! A man who has no hair straight and dared to be so arrogant will have to pay the price! Now I can''t care about so many other influences, too. If you don''t have time to entangle with him, kill him!" Ma Xi Ruman looked at the eyes of his nephew Ma Chengkun, and said seriously, his tone beyond doubt. "Okay, uncle, should I borrow someone else''s hand or do we do it ourselves?" Ma Chengkun grimace. Ma Chengkun wanted to get Xia Yu a long time ago. This is the quickest way to solve the problem. He just has been worried about other influences and feared to cause the press to vigilant against the "Oriental Daily". Now that his uncle, the head of the Ma family, has spoken, and the Patriarch doesn''t care about the impact, then he can completely do it. He has endured Xia Yu for a long time! "I have already asked someone to check it out. If we can kill someone with a knife, it''s best. If it doesn''t work, we will do it ourselves!" Ma Xiru said blankly. After he learned about the "Oriental Daily" this afternoon, he arranged for manpower to investigate. He is not Ma Chengkun. He seeks stability in everything he does and pursues a one-shot kill. After all, he is a mixed black and not cautious. The price is his own life, so caution has long become his instinct. Nephew Ma Chengkun would be careless because he did not take over his black career, but took care of the "Oriental Daily" from the beginning. He was still not cruel and rigorous enough to do things, so the current crisis appeared. "The situation is very serious now. The Hong Kong government is watching very closely. I have heard the news before, so I haven''t shipped for such a long time, but the customers are pressing hard. If you want to maintain the channel, you must be ready to ship during this time. "Akun, your dad and I will go out at the same time. You are the boss. When you find out the information, you will take over this matter. Don''t make mistakes!" Ma Xiru solemnly said to Ma Chengkun. Ma Chengkun felt a bitter in his heart, and quickly nodded and said: "Uncle rest assured, this time I will never make any mistakes!" ¡­¡­ By the early morning of the next day, Ma Chengkun received the clear information. In addition to Xia Yu''s information, there were also approximate relationships between Xia Yu and Xia Jun, Xia Lei, Liu Tianci, Xia Dahai and others~www.novelhall .com~ The grievances between Xia Yu and the Black Shark Club. The two members of the Black Shark Club have been punished because of Xia Yu, and there are also news of being imprisoned. These news are inconceivable news, as long as you ask the people in Xia Yu''s village, the relationship between the characters will be known. And the news that the people of the Black Shark Club folded in Xia Yu''s hands was also known. After all, Xia Yu did not hide, and offered a reward. In order to scare some people with ulterior motives, the news was almost public. Similarly, this time Ma¡¯s threatened an HSBC Securities employee and obtained Xia Yu¡¯s funds. Ma Chengkun saw that Xia Yu had 8 million funds, and he also maintained a good relationship with Liu Tianci, and could spend ten times that. After the news of the leverage, he also acquired 30% of the shares of Dafa Real Estate, which could make at least ten million yuan. Ma Chengkun''s face was black, he gnashed his teeth and cursed Xia Yu, and his hatred skyrocketed. At least half of Xia Yu''s money comes from him. Thinking of Xia Yu causing such a big crisis to himself, but still making his money, Ma Chengkun can''t wait to kill Xia Yu immediately to relieve his anger! "Xia Yu offended the Black Shark Club, and his brother Xia Lei was deadly rivals with the Black Shark Club. He could just borrow the Black Shark Club''s knife, but it saved my energy." "It''s just that now he has a relationship with Chunqiu Medical Center, which is difficult to handle!" Ma Chengkun frowned when he saw Xia Yu''s relationship with Chunqiu Medical Center, and the rescuer was also being treated at Chunqiu Medical Center. "Chunqiu Medical Center...Li Chunqiu...Li Wuyang...Li Wuming..." He muttered and frowned every time he read a name. "Let the black shark go to trouble him first, and explore what Xia Yu is related to the Chunqiu Medical Center..." "I hope there will be no more accidents..." Ma Chengkun closed his eyes and sighed to himself. Chapter 77: Someone want to chop me? The next day, Xia Yu took the time to ask Xia Jun that he had obtained Yan Shining and Yan Hong¡¯s ID cards. This was something that Xia Yu and Xia Jun explained two days ago. From now on, Yan Shining and his son can feel at ease. I live in Xiangjiang. After get off work today, Xia Yu drove to the Chunqiu Medical Center to see Yan Shining and his son, and gave them his ID card by the way. Not long after, Xia Yu came to the Chunqiu Medical Center and found that Yan Shining was accompanying his son Yanhong. Seeing Xia Yu coming, Yan Shining stood up quickly, and Yan Hong also smiled and called to Xia Yu''s brother. After these days of getting along, there is also the teaching of his father Yan Shining. Yu''s attitude is getting better and better. "Yan Hong''s body is better now?" Seeing Yan Hong''s face was a little ruddy, not as pale as the first time I saw him, Xia Yu asked Yan Shining. "Well, it''s much better. Dr. Li''s medical skills are very good. Hong''er''s health has improved a lot. Dr. Li said that he will start treating Hong''er''s lungs in a week, and he is still taking care of his body." Yan Shining immediately. Said, his face was full of joy, and when he talked about Li Chunqiu, his eyes were full of admiration and admiration. He was obviously impressed by Li Chunqiu''s medical skills. Xia Yu''s heart moved. It seems that Li Chunqiu''s medical skills are indeed very strong, but it is a pity that he has not experienced it personally, and I don''t know how powerful it is. "That''s good, step by step." Xia Yu touched Yanhong''s head, nodded and smiled. "Oh, yes, this is the ID card I gave you. From now on, you will be official residents of Xiangjiang. With your ID card, you can do many things." After chatting again, Xia Yu took it out of his pocket. Pass the ID card to Yan Shining. "Thank you Xia Sheng!" Yan Shining showed gratitude and quickly took it with both hands. stayed in the ward for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Xia Yu planned to go home, and Yan Shining accompanied Xia Yu to go out. When he came to the lobby of the hospital, Xia Yu saw the old man Li Chunqiu reading, and there was no patient to come to see the doctor. Xia Yu walked over. "Doctor Li, I will trouble you to spend more snacks during this period. When the expenses are not enough, you must tell me." Xia Yu walked over and said to Li Chunqiu with a smile, and took it out of his pocket when he spoke. A bank card that had been prepared long ago had a sum of money stored in it, which was the medical expenses Xia Yu had prepared. "Okay, the doctor''s parents, Xia Sheng don''t worry." Li Chunqiu stroked his long beard, said with a kind smile, and took Xia Yu''s bank card and put it aside. Xia Yu chatted with Li Chunqiu again, and wanted to leave. I don¡¯t know why. He felt that Li Chunqiu¡¯s attitude towards him was a little different and closer, but it didn¡¯t matter to think about it. The point was that he felt that Li Chunqiu looked at him. His eyes seemed a little strange, making him a little uncomfortable. "Doctor Li, it''s so late, and I have something to do at home, so I will go back first, and come back next time!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Although he felt uncomfortable, Xia Yu did not show it. He still has this kind of city government. . Li Chunqiu smiled and nodded, watching Xia Yu raise his foot to leave. He hesitated and reminded him: "Xia Sheng, I don''t know if there is a sentence that should be said improperly. You have a dark anger on your face. Pay attention during this time." Xia Yu''s heart trembled, turned his head to look at Li Chunqiu, and found that his expression was a little serious, not like a joke, Xia Yu was half-believing, and unconsciously thinking about bad things. He also knows that he has offended many people during this period. The Black Shark Club, the Ma Family, and the Wu Family are in direct conflict, and there are not a few others affected by him, so he really needs to pay attention. It¡¯s just that Li Chunqiu is a doctor. Why did you suddenly say this to him? Did you hear something? Or do you really see something from the face? Xia Yu took a deep look at Li Chunqiu, and suddenly felt that Li Chunqiu exuded a natural, peaceful and ethereal temperament. For a moment, Xia Yu felt that Li Chunqiu seemed more than just an old Chinese doctor. Xia Yu''s heart moved. It was a matter of his own safety and he had to care, so he asked, "Doctor Li, please give me some advice, am I in any danger?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Li Chunqiu closely. Not only Xia Yu, but Yan Shining on the side is also very concerned. After all, it is related to Xia Yu''s safety, and Xia Yu is his benefactor. He doesn''t want Xia Yu to be in danger. Li Chunqiu shook his head slightly and exclaimed: "I can''t see through, I can''t see through..." "Then I will pay attention, thank you for reminding!" Xia Yu was a little disappointed, after all, he did not get the answer he wanted, but he politely said thank you. "I''m leaving first." Xia Yu said again, and then walked outside, only wondering who Li Chunqiu was while walking. Xia Yu''s car stopped on the side of the road. He just opened the door, and suddenly an exclamation came from behind. Xia Yu immediately realized that it was Yan Shining''s voice. "Xia Sheng, be careful, come back soon!" Xia Yu quickly recovered, and turned his head to look, only to find that a group of people rushed towards him from all directions, not knowing where they were coming from, and they were still holding knives and sticks in their hands. One of them was only four meters away from him. , It should have been hiding behind another car. Xia Yu was startled in a cold sweat, but was not shocked. He quickly pulled out the car''s special anti-theft lock under the driver''s seat, only to see that the nearest gangster''s knife was about to slash at him the danger is near. In front of him, Xia Yu suddenly calmed down again. He did not get into trouble, dodged, and then took the half-meter-long anti-theft lock and smashed the gangster''s long knife with a harsh steel collision. Next, Xia Yu knew that there were people rushing over, he knew that he would be done without running out, and the safest direction was Yan Shining. He ran directly towards Yan Shining, and he happened to see Yan Shining rush out of the medical hall murderously, and he was almost in front of Xia Yu. "Xia Sheng, give it to me!" Yan Shining yelled, and then rushed to Xia Yu, rushing towards the group of gangsters holding sticks with bare hands. Xia Yu panted urgently, and his heart was still thumping. It was too thrilling just now. If he hadn''t recovered from Yan Shining''s yelling, he would probably have been hacked. Xia Yu didn''t rush to help Yan Shining. He knew that going there would only cause trouble. He knew very well that he couldn''t fight all the years of fighting, and he would only put himself in a dangerous situation. I only hope that Yan Shining will not have an accident. Then, Xia Yu saw Yan Shining''s opening and closing. He was very tricky. After a few strokes, he got on the ground and grabbed an iron rod. At this time, more than a dozen gangsters were encircling Xiang Yan. Shining, a few others rushed to Xia Yu, but Yan Shining found it but couldn''t get away for a while, his expression became very anxious. Seeing a few gangsters rushing towards him, Xia Yu gripped the anti-theft lock in his hand, knowing that it would be unavoidable, and he still had to do a fight. The most dangerous time had come.

After all, Xiangjiang superstition is prevalent, and these are unavoidable, and only occasionally Mention, don¡¯t write too much, don¡¯t worry about writing bias. The following is the text: He just wanted to rush over there and **** with those gangsters, but he felt a hand on his shoulder, and then he saw Li Chunqiu, who was in his sixties and dressed in a long robe, not in a hurry. He walked over and left two words in Xia Yu''s ear: "I''m coming!" Before Xia Yu could react, he saw a little **** yelling: "Dead old man, get out of the way, don''t get in the way!" While shouting ¡¡¡¡, the gangster did not keep his hands because Li Chunqiu is an old man, but instead punched Li Chunqiu. However, the next scene stunned Xia Yu. He saw Li Chunqiu grabbing the bastard¡¯s fist with his backhand, pulling his hand on one side of his body, and kicking his right foot against the bastard¡¯s foot. The **** was actually dragged to the ground. , And then saw Li Chunqiu''s hands quickly retracted into a punch to the chest of the gangster. "boom!" "what!" Next, I saw that the gangster was knocked to the ground and flew out, landing heavily on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth twitched. When did an old man get so fierce and with such strength, a young man would pull up when he said he was pulling up, and he would fly when he said he was flying. It was not like a frail old man at all. This was simply subversive. Up his ideas. After seeing their accomplices being cleaned up by Li Chunqiu, the other two knew that the old man in front of them was not easy to mess with, but they did not retreat. Next, Xia Yu saw the scene that shocked him again. Li Chunqiu nimbly avoided, and then pulled back with a backhand, and then heard a click, took off his arm amid the screams of the gangster, and then listened again. With a few crisp noises, the hands and feet of the two punks were also interrupted and deformed, losing their threat. The scene on Xia Yu''s side also surprised Yan Shining, but he knew that Xia Yu didn''t need to worry about him, so he focused more on dealing with the gangster who besieged him. He attacked very hard, focusing on key parts such as joints and acupuncture points. More than a dozen punks were all laid down by him, and the wailing people lay on the ground. Yan Shining didn''t go to clean up those gangsters who fell on the ground, walked quickly to Xia Yu, and cared: "Xia Sheng, are you okay!" "I''m fine, thanks to you for saving me!" Xia Yu said quickly and gratefully, then looked at Li Chunqiu, who was not in a hurry to tidy up his robes, a flash of exclamation flashed in his eyes, and then thanked: "Doctor Li, thank you for saving me !" "Needless to say thank you, I can''t care about making trouble at my door." Li Chunqiu waved his hand and said indifferently. At this time, another middle-aged man ran out of the hospital. Xia Yu knew Li Wuyang, Li Chunqiu¡¯s son, who he had met once. I saw Li Wuyang looking at the screaming punks, his face turned cold, he walked quickly, nodded towards Xia Yu and Yan Shining, and asked Li Chunqiu, "Dad, what''s the matter? Does anyone dare to come to our house and make trouble?" "Brother Li, is here to trouble me, not to trouble me in the hospital, sorry." Before Li Chunqiu could speak, Xia Yu said quickly, with a little embarrassment on his face, after all, he brought the trouble to someone else''s door. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Li Wuyang''s expression eased, and he nodded and didn''t say much, as long as he didn''t trouble him, he wouldn''t care. But making trouble at the door of his house, this is to slap him in the face. Li Wuyang wouldn''t spare them so easily. He walked towards the little **** who were about to escape, stepped on a person directly, lowered his head and asked. "Let''s go, let''s go to the house." Li Chunqiu said, seemingly not surprised by his son''s behavior in asking the punks. Xia Yu and Yan Shining just wanted to enter the hospital, but they saw another group of people rushing out from the corner of the street. They also rushed over with weapons. Seeing that Yan Shining was about to rush over subconsciously, Xia Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "It''s me. people." just because Xia Yu saw Xia Lei in it. Then, Xia Yu saw Xia Lei''s group of people rushing over and beating the punks who wanted to escape, while Xia Lei ran to Xia Yu quickly and came to Xia Yu, panting and saying: " A Yu, are you okay? Damn, I''m late!" "I''m fine, don''t worry, but how do you know that someone will trouble me?" Xia Yu comforted, and then asked, he wanted to know how Xia Lei knew someone would trouble him. "It''s the people from the Black Shark Club. Because of the previous events, I paid special attention to them during this period of time. I found something wrong, and then learned that I was coming to trouble you, so I hurried to bring someone over, but I didn''t expect it to be too late. Fortunately You''re all right!" Xia Lei blamed himself with a bit of luck on his face. "Black Shark Club..." Xia Yu''s eyes were cold, and a cloud of anger was burning in his heart. He didn''t expect that the Black Shark would retaliate against him in broad daylight. It was so rampant. If Yan Shining and Li Chunqiu were not there today, if he were alone outside, he might have been planted! Black Shark Club is killing him! "Leizi, you should go back first. It''s okay on my side. If you bring so many people out, there will always be trouble, and it is estimated that the police are coming, and it is not good for you to be here." Xia Yu warned Xia Lei. Xia Lei hesitated for a while, looked at Xia Yu''s serious eyes, and then at Yan Shining. He thought of the dozen or so gangsters who fell to the ground just now, and realized that Xia Yu is safe here, so he nodded, very I took people away soon, but before I left, I did not forget to clean up the group of gangsters again. Then, Xia Yu, Yan Shining, Li Chunqiu and others entered the hospital. Just after sitting down, Xia Yu remembered what Li Chunqiu had said to him before, and he began to wonder. After all, it was too evil. Li Chunqiu just said that there was a black air lingering on his face and he should pay attention to safety. As a result, his hind foot was almost chopped when he left the house. Obviously he was ambushed. He subconsciously wondered whether it was Li Chunqiu instructed. But this idea was immediately rejected by him. After all, judging from the situation just now, Li Chunqiu was obviously unaware, and he was also ruthless, and saved him. It is impossible to join the black shark, and the attitude of Li Chunqiu¡¯s son Li Wuyang does not seem to be false. What did Li Chunqiu really see? Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn''t help swallowing his saliva, which couldn''t help but he didn''t think about that mysterious direction. And think again about the popularity of Xiangjiang Fengshui, it is really possible that there are such people, Li Chunqiu is really capable of this! I would rather trust it if there is not trustworthy than nothing! Your own life matters! "Doctor Li, I don''t know how I look now? Will it be dangerous?" Xia Yu asked Li Chunqiu nervously. Li Chunqiu did not refuse or immediately answered. Instead, he looked at Xia Yu up and down, and shook his head slightly: "Xia Sheng, your face is still the same, who did you provoke? You really have to pay attention to safety during this time. It''s too dangerous to go out alone!" "This..." Xia Yu''s heart sank and clenched his fists tightly. Standing aside, Yan Shining heard Li Chunqiu''s words, and then looked at Xia Yu. He hesitated a little, and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, if you don''t dislike it, I will follow you in the future, as long as I am there. No one can touch your hair!" After finishing speaking, Yan Shining looked at Xia Yu firmly. Hearing what Yan Shining said, Xia Yu raised his head and looked at Yan Shining. Of course, he really hoped that Yan Shining would be his bodyguard. Judging from the situation just now, Yan Shining was too good at fighting. If he was there, it would be a Yan Shining can guarantee his safety even when twenty people come, and he can absolutely feel at ease. But if Yan Shining goes to protect him, what will his son Yanhong do? After all, Xia Yu is not cold-blooded, and it is impossible to simply think for himself and ignore others. Moreover, he does sympathize with Yanhong, a child who suffers from cancer and does not have a mother, so Yan Shining ignores his son and protects him. Xia Yu felt a little overwhelmed by his conscience. As if he knew what Xia Yu was thinking, Li Chunqiu on the side stroked his long beard and said to Xia Yu with a faint smile: "Don''t worry, Yan Hong will be fine. He will be treated here. The condition can be controlled. He They can also move normally without any care, and there is absolutely no problem with safety with me." "Besides, you can come and see if you have time during the day. It doesn''t mean that you won''t see it. Thinking of Li Chunqiu''s mystery, and seeing Li Wuyang nodding towards him, Xia Yu finally let go of his heart, as if he was affirming Li Chunqiu''s words. "Brother Yan, I will trouble you in the future." Xia Yu solemnly said to Yan Shining. "Xia Sheng, it should be, if it weren''t for you, I don''t know what to do now, maybe..." Yan Shining said quickly, and couldn''t say anything at the end, but the gaze towards Xia Yu was full of gratitude. "Doctor, how is Xia Sheng''s face now? Is it better?" Yan Shining was still very concerned about Xia Yu''s safety and quickly asked Li Chunqiu. Xia Yu also hurriedly looked at Li Chunqiu, but he saw that Li Wuyang seemed a little nervous and cast a caring look at Li Chunqiu. Li Chunqiu seemed to shook his head and signaled that he was okay. This makes Xia Yu feel a little puzzled, is there any taboo in his face? "Your face is much better now than before. Although you still can''t see through it, the black threads are scattered a lot. It can be said that there is no danger, but you still need to pay more attention. I can''t see through other things." Li Chunqiu again Looking at Xia Yu, he told Xia Yu. Hearing this, Yan Shining breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he is useful to Xia Yu, although he has been a soldier, because of his family relationship, he does believe in Feng Shui and has seen some similar people. Combined with what happened just now, he still believed in Li Chunqiu''s words, and he classified Li Chunqiu into that kind of person. Moreover, he has not forgotten what Li Chunqiu was doing just now. He was still able to fight three adults at such an old age. Unfortunately, it seemed that his eyesight was not enough, and he was also busy dealing with punks just now, without special observation. He didn''t see much, which made him a little regretful. "Okay, thank you doctor." Xia Yu nodded solemnly and bowed to Li Chunqiu. This action made Li Wuyang''s face look better. Then, after a few words of greeting again, Xia Yu and Yan Shining went out together. Yan Shining has already planned to protect Xia Yu''s safety with him to become Xia Yu''s personal bodyguard, and of course he must go back with Xia Yu. . Seeing Xia Yu and Yan Shining driving away, Li Wuyang finally couldn''t help it. He asked his father, "Dad, you haven''t shown pictures to anyone for more than 20 years. Why do you make an exception today? How is Xia Yu really different?" Li Chunqiu sighed and looked north, as if he could see the place that made him think about it. Li Wuyang also knew that his father had fallen into memories again, he had become accustomed to it, he did not interrupt, but waited quietly. After a long silence, Li Chunqiu came back to his senses and slowly said: "I have seen Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang in the entire Xiangjiang River. I have also seen others one after another, but no one can compare to him. Yes, his face is constantly changing. I can''t see it through. The only thing I know is that his life is indescribable. I haven''t seen anything comparable to him in more than 60 years." Hearing what his father said, Li Wuyang''s face was shocked. He never doubted his father''s physiognomy, but never thought that his father would say that he could not see through Xia Yu''s life. This was the first time he heard this from his father. Kind of words. "From him, I saw hope...Master..." Li Chunqiu murmured, seeming to be lost in memory again. Li Wuyang sighed lightly, he knew what his father''s only obsession was in his life. "In this case, I must make my father do what I want!" Thinking that his father is 68 years old and very old, Li Wuyang secretly made a decision. Ps: The phase is born from the heart, the state changes according to the heart, the life is made by the heart, Ami Tofu! Ladies and gentlemen, we will run naked again next week, IneedAV! Need a recommendation ticket for comfort! 3500+ are here, do your best, and sincerely put it here, let''s take care of it! Chapter 79: "economic" After returning home, the family was still surprised by the arrival of Yan Shining, but after Xia Yu explained that he was his bodyguard and was responsible for protecting his safety in the future, the parents were relieved and welcomed Yan Shining very warmly. It made sense to stay in Xia''s house. Early the next morning, as soon as Xia Yu wanted to drive, Yan Shining said, "Xia Sheng, let me drive for you. I can drive. I drove in the army before." Xia Yu''s heart moved, and from this point it also revealed that Yan Shining is indeed not easy, not only can fight, but also drive! You must know that in later generations, many soldiers will not be able to drive, and they will not specifically train. Almost all car soldiers will drive. In this era, the army¡¯s vehicles are even rarer, and there are very few soldiers with driving skills, and Yan Shining can drive a car, but thinking that he can fight in this way, he obviously belongs to a strong fighting force, unlike a car soldier. The troops he belonged to had already pondered. But Xia Yu didn¡¯t want to ask, and if he asked Yan Shining, he would not necessarily say that he would understand it. After all, this involves the military¡¯s secrecy system. It is impossible to say that after retiring, he would give up all beliefs and discipline. This is Impossible, Xia Yu didn''t need to force him to say. If Yan Shining wants to say something, he can say it without Xia Yu asking. Of course, these are the minutiae. The more Yan Shining shows, the better it will be for Xia Yu. After all, he is now Xia Yu''s bodyguard. "Okay, then you can open it, trouble you!" "By the way, Brother Yan, you don''t have to call me Xia Sheng all the time, just call me by my name." Xia Yu said with a smile, he was also very close to Yan Shining''s name, after all, he wanted him to protect himself in the future, and shouted privately. Yan Shining''s name is too unfamiliar, which is far from Xia Yu''s way of gathering people''s hearts. "This..." Yan Shining looked embarrassed. He had always been accustomed to the distinction between superiors and superiors in the army, and now he was asked to call the name of Xia Yu, his benefactor, but he really couldn''t. "Then you call my boss!" Seeing that Yan Shining couldn''t call it out, Xia Yu didn''t force it, stepped back and said. "Okay, boss!" This time, Yan Shining was obviously relieved and said quickly. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, then got into the car, and then, under Xia Yu''s guidance, the car drove in the direction of the company. When he arrived at the company, Yan Shining also followed Xia Yu in. Xia Yu also briefly introduced Yan Shining to the rest of the company, and then let Yan Shining rest in the lounge, and he began to deal with the company''s affairs. After handling the affairs, Xia Yu fell into deep thought. He had to ponder how to lay the foundation of "Jiuding Daily". It happened that "Jiuding Daily" was calculated. Xia Yu began to consciously reduce the recommended stocks, intending to let "Jiuding Daily" gradually get rid of his dependence. To this end, he also invited other experts and scholars in Xiangjiang''s economics and finance to submit papers. In view of the amazing influence of "Jiuding Daily" in this regard, almost all the papers were successful, and there were other people actively submitting articles, "Jiuding Daily" The level of news and articles has improved a lot. But, in Xia Yu''s view, this is not enough! There is the memory of the CEO of Warner in later generations. Xia Yu knows that the current "Jiuding Daily" still has many shortcomings. Compared with those large media companies, Jiuding News Company is too weak. Except for the newspaper "Jiuding Daily", what It''s all gone. But, think about the later generations of Time Warner. As one of the six major media giants in the United States, it controls more than 15% of the media power in the United States and is also a Fortune 500 company with amazing influence. Time Warner¡¯s business map spans the publishing, film and television industries, including Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune Magazine, Life Magazine, Turner Television Network, CNN, HBO, DC Comics, Warner Bros., etc. Influential media are all undertakings. Among them, "Time" and "Fortune" magazines are well-known international magazines, and their influence is amazing! has the memory of Time Warner CEO, Xia Yu is very familiar with these, and knows a lot of insider. But it is impossible for him to buy these. One is that he has no money, and the other is that these things are in the hands of American Jews. Jews need to use them to seek political aspirations and exchange interests, and they will not easily sell them. Since it is impossible to get it, then build your own magazine to solidify your foundation in the media industry! In both Time Magazine and Fortune, Time Magazine is one of the three major current affairs weekly magazines in the United States. It has a wide range of content. It publishes opinions on international issues and follows up and reports on major international events. It wants to create similar Magazines are too difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is not realistic at all now, and it does not match Xia Yu''s newspaper positioning. It is not the type of magazine Xia Yu urgently needs. However, "Fortune" magazine mainly publishes research articles on economic issues. Since 1954, it has launched the global top 500 rankings. Its influence is amazing. It is ranked as the top four magazines in the financial industry with "Business Week", "Forbes" and "The Economist". . And it happens that the current "Jiuding Daily" is positioned in the financial sector, and it happens to need a financial magazine to further expand the influence of "Jiuding Daily" in the financial world. And to create an influential financial magazine, it can also feed back newspapers, stabilize the foundation of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and at the same time deepen its influence on the middle and upper classes of Xiangjiang society. In addition, Xia Yu also started in finance and has the memory of a financial giant, as well as the memory of Time Warner¡¯s CEO. It would be easy to create a financial magazine with Fortune as the benchmark. In fact, in addition to the above-mentioned reasons, the actual market situation is also very suitable for Xia Yu to create a financial magazine. Although "Fortune", "Forbes", "Business Week" and "The Economist", the four kings of the financial industry, have appeared, and the oldest "The Economist" was founded in 1843, but The influence of these four major magazines is now mainly concentrated in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and their influence in Asia is not large except for island countries. These magazines will focus on Asia and begin to expand their influence when the Asian economy begins to flourish later. force. And now, the attention of the four major financial magazines has not yet caught their attention. In Asia, there are only some regional financial magazines in various countries, and their influence is still small. There is no top financial magazine in Xiangjiang. It can be said that now is the best time to wait for Xia Yu to occupy a virgin land. In Xia Yu''s view, it can be said that there is no one that can hit Xiangjiang financial magazines. He is fully confident to build a top financial magazine, and it will be successful in a short time! Why Xia Yu is so confident, only because he knows people''s pursuit of money and wealth, he also understands people''s curiosity and gossip psychology, he can sacrifice a big killer to make financial magazines an instant hit! That big killer is the rich list! Xia Yu can fully imagine how a sensational sensation in Xiangjiang, where there is no professional list, a rigorous rich list will definitely not be limited to a certain level, but will spread throughout Xiangjiang, and even spread to Xiangjiang. The whole Southeast Asia is affected in the eyes. Just like in previous lives, netizens are very enthusiastic about the rankings of the rich and the companies ~ www.novelhall.com~ Every time the ranking comes out, it will be searched. It seems that if you talk more, you can get closer to the rich. Of course, if you want to make this list more authoritative, then the list must be rigorous, stand up to deliberation, and convince readers. Although it is more difficult to build a rigorous ranking list, Xia Yu is still confident about it. After all, Xiangjiang is not in the United States, the place is not large, and there are relatively few companies, so the information is only so small, as long as you can go Collect information carefully, and always collect comprehensive information. Of course, if you want to create a top financial magazine, you must choose a good name. Xia Yu has also thought about it. Many of the top words that can represent the business development of modern society have been used, and the top words such as wealth and business have been used. However, there is also a top term "economy" that has also been used, but the name "The Economist" always makes people think about academics. So the word''economy'' can still be used, and it is enough to hold the next top magazine. Xia Yu intends to use this word directly as the name of the magazine. "Economy" magazine, against "Fortune" magazine, completely OK. As for the magazine''s positioning, it is to publish articles on economic issues research and other articles. Since it is necessary to build from scratch, it is impossible to spread the stalls at once, so there must be trade-offs. Xia Yu intends to start with the article in finance and investment, and then slowly expand to other economic-related fields, such as marketing, industry, industry, etc., when his strength becomes strong. has taken a good name and has a general positioning. In the next period of time, Xia Yu will build another Optimus Prime for Jiuding Newspaper Company! Ps: Don¡¯t forget to vote after reading it, it will be wasted if you don¡¯t use it~ Chapter 80: Economic Research Office After thinking about it, Xia Yu began to write a planning book. With the memory of Time Warner''s CEO, it is not easy to write a planning book for "Economy" magazine. After all, the target of "Economics" magazine is "Fortune" magazine. Many basic things can be copied and applied, and there are a lot less places that need to be modified based on the actual situation of Hong Kong. Xia Yu''s workload is instantly reduced. If you change to another person, it is impossible to do like Xia Yu, but who makes Xia Yu have the memory to hang up? "à§à§à§¡­¡­" The pen tip keeps sliding on the book, and the planning plan of the "Economy" magazine is written in more and more detail, and the magazine''s frame is also outlined. As long as Xia Yu writes the plan for the "Economics" magazine, then when I actually start to run the magazine, I can save a lot of time, no detours, and improve work efficiency. After four o''clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu browsed again and found that there was nothing wrong with the planning, and then stretched out with a satisfied smile. At this moment, Yan Wenhan knocked on the door and walked in, reporting to Xia Yu the progress of the new office. "Boss, the new office has been renovated, and the desks and other items have been purchased and placed. When do you think the relocation will start?" Yan Wenhan said respectfully, bowing his head slightly. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn''t expect Yan Wenhan to do things so quickly. He thought it would be a few days later. He didn''t expect that the new office building has been sorted out now, and he is waiting for relocation at any time. After thinking about it a little bit, Xia Yu said to Yan Wenhan: ¡°So, it¡¯s too late today, and it¡¯s too late to relocate now, and the work may not be all done. Then move in tomorrow morning. You will go out and notify the news. All employees, prepare them." "Good boss!" Yan Wenhan nodded in response. "By the way, what''s the situation on the fifth floor now?" Xia Yu thought of the magazine to be opened, which needed a separate office location and required confidential treatment, so he thought of the fifth floor of the rented office building. During this period of time, the company has not stopped hiring people and will continue to expand in the future. Xia Yu has set the first and second floors as new office locations, which are enough to accommodate all the current staff, and will be enough for a period of time in the future. Of expansion. Because the third, fourth, and fifth floors are temporarily unavailable, Xia Yu just arranged for Yan Wenhan to sort it out, and did not intend to use it so soon. But now that I think about the "Economic" magazine, I have to use it. Because it is not suitable for the news to leak out before the magazine is released, after all, "Jiuding Daily" is not what it used to be, and it is definitely being watched by all newspapers. If this news leaks out, it will inevitably cause trouble to Xia Yu. So after thinking about it, there must be a separate office location. "Boss, the third, fourth, and fifth floors have also been cleaned up. If you want to activate it, you can activate it at any time by purchasing office appliances." Yan Wenhanhui reported. "Go and fix the fifth floor again, you will use it next." Xia Yu ordered. "Okay!" Yan Wenhan nodded. "By the way, take a look. This is the plan I just wrote about a financial magazine. The fifth floor is for this magazine. For the next period of time, the company''s work will focus on this. This magazine." Xia Yu said, letting Yan Wenhan see the plan just written. "Sit down and tell me what you think after reading it." Yan Wenhan nodded, then found a stool and sat down, and immediately looked at it seriously. After all, Yan Wenhan spent five years in the Financial Times, and London is also the world economic center, so he is very familiar with magazines such as Fortune and Business Week, and the Economist of the four major financial magazines is British. So he is no stranger to financial magazines. As soon as he saw the plan, he understood the boss Xia Yu''s intentions, which made him happy. It seemed that the boss had a long-term vision and did not rest on his laurels. In fact, even if Xia Yu doesn¡¯t mention it, Yan Wenhan plans to propose to Xia Yu to run a financial magazine. After all, the development of Jiuding Daily is very good. The owner Xia Yu is also proficient in financial and commercial fields and is very suitable for running a business. This financial magazine is an advantage that other newspapers do not have. It would be a pity if it is not used well. Moreover, running a financial magazine has many benefits to the Jiuding Daily. Soon, Yan Wenhan read the magazine''s planning plan. After reading it, he looked at Xia Yu admiringly and said: "Boss, your plan is so good, I can''t think of any other supplements." The words are full of emotion and admiration. Yan Wenhan¡¯s eyesight is not overshadowed, but even by his standards, boss Xia Yu¡¯s magazine planning plan is perfect, and he can¡¯t find shortcomings, just like a veteran in the ups and downs media industry. It''s totally unlike what the young man, the boss, did. But the handwriting can''t be fake, Yan Wenhan can only feel that the boss is too genius. Hearing Yan Wenhan¡¯s compliment, Xia Yu smiled faintly, and then said: "This matter will be handled by you. I will personally participate when I am fine, but you need to complete the preliminary preparations." "Boss, please give me an order." Yan Wenhan said hastily, and at the same time took out a slap-sized notebook from his pocket to prepare records. Seeing Yan Wenhan''s actions, Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction. From this point of detail, it can be seen that Yan Wenhan is rigorous in doing things. After all, not everyone will carry pen and paper with them for emergencies. They are prepared to do things. People like them no matter who they are. "This "Economic" magazine must be up to the standard to become a benchmark for Xiangjiang Finance and Economics, so it must have enough talents." "You write an announcement, UU reading recruits specific economic analysis talents with high salaries, and at the same time contact experts and professors in university economics, as well as scholars who have research in financial and economics, and hire them to be our consultants." "Also, everyone belongs to the Economic Research Office. The fifth floor of the entire new office building is the office location of the Economic Research Office. For confidentiality, no one except the members of the Economic Research Office and you and me are allowed. enter." "In the first issue, the magazine will launch a list. Taking into account the constraints of manpower and other factors, we will make two lists first. The number of the Hong Kong rich list and the company list are 100. Everything is based on the market value of the stock market. Enterprise valuation must be based on reality and be as accurate as possible. These two lists are the most important, and there should be no omissions." "This "Economics" magazine is published every week, so it must be sufficient in terms of manpower. You should hire as much as possible. You are not afraid of too many people, but you are afraid of fewer people. As long as this magazine is built, the labor pay is only a small amount of money. You can earn it back." "Now let''s make these requirements first. If there are other requirements later, I will tell you." Xia Yu thought for a while and felt that there were no other requirements to explain. . "Okay, I''ve taken everything down, boss." Yan Wenhan nodded and said. "Do you have any questions?" Xia Yu asked. "Not for the time being." Yan Wenhan shook his head. "Then go ahead and work harder." Yan Wenhan responded again, then left the office and went out to convey Xia Yu''s relocation order. Ps: After listening to the song for an afternoon, the single "Passenger" repeats, it sounds good, but the more you listen, the more you listen to it, the more it will not move the words, it is poisonous?? (??£þ??£þ?)???? After publishing the book for 37 days, the word count has finally reached 200,000. Ask for a recommendation! Chapter 81: Cocktail party Seeing that the market was about to be closed, Xia Yu went to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. Because of the materials provided by the Dafa Real Estate Newspaper today, it proves that the capital chain is indeed no problem, and with the efforts of HSBC Securities and other institutions, the share price of Dafa Real Estate has risen back to 40 million Hong Kong dollars. And the rise continues unabated! Xia Yu estimated that the stock price should be raised back to 60 million Hong Kong dollars in the next week, and then it can be cashed out. After chatting with Liu Tianci for a while, Xia Yu was about to go back. At this moment, Liu Tianci stopped Xia Yu and took out an invitation. "Xia Sheng, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve always forgotten that this Saturday night, HSBC Securities is holding a reception at The Peninsula Hotel, so please be sure to come!" Liu Tianci handed the invitation to Xia Yu, and said with a smile on his face. "It must be there!" Xia Yu took it and glanced at it, then smiled and nodded. "Oh, yes, can I ask who else you have invited?" Xia Yu asked curiously. "It is mainly our major clients of HSBC Securities, the senior executives of the four major stock exchanges, and the richest people in Hong Kong." Liu Tianci briefly introduced. Xia Yu¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. The HSBC reception was a good opportunity to meet some people, expand his network, and at the same time make it easier for him to understand the situation of the middle and upper classes in Xiangjiang. This reception is not to be missed. "Liu Sheng rest assured, I will be there by then, thank you for your invitation!" Xia Yu thanked. ¡­¡­ Then, Xia Yu received the invitation and left the Kowloon Stock Exchange. In the next two days, the company''s work was carried out in an orderly manner. The company also moved to a new office. Xia Yu did not hold any solemn ceremonies, but simply set off firecrackers and it passed. As for the Economic Research Office, it has also started to set up and is purchasing office supplies. As for personnel, Yan Wenhan also sent invitations to those experts and scholars who have studied economics. Six people have already accepted the employment of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Others are also under consideration, but Xia Yu estimates that the problem is not big. After all, where the influence of "Jiuding Daily" lies, Xia Yu gave a generous remuneration, both famous and advantageous, and those experts and scholars are not tempted to believe! In the past two days, Xia Yu was also very careful, taking Yan Shining with him whenever he went out to ensure his safety. After get off work every day, Xia Yu also goes to the Chunqiu Medical Center to visit Yanhong, also to make Yan Shining feel at ease. Xia Yu can only temporarily let go of the black shark attacking him. After all, he is weak now, and there is really no way to trouble a society. It is not bad if the Black Shark does not continue to trouble him. Moreover, that time, except for the initial shock, he was not injured. On the contrary, the people who attacked his Black Shark Club were cleaned up and paid a heavy price. However, Xia Yu has gained something, that is, Yan Shining has become his personal bodyguard and solved his personal safety problem, which can also be said to be a blessing in disguise. Two days passed in a flash, and it was Saturday all at once. In the evening, after a brief explanation with his family, Xia Yu drove to the Peninsula Hotel. As soon as he entered the venue, Xia Yu reluctantly discovered that he seemed to be here alone, and almost everyone else had female companions. After discovering this fact, Xia Yu was a little helpless, but who made him really have no female friends? This is nothing but a cheeky thing! As soon as he entered, Xia Yu saw Liu Tianci, who was surrounded by a group of people. Liu Tianci looked out of the door from time to time, just in time to see Xia Yu. He said to the people around him and smiled at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu also walked towards him. "Liu Sheng, good evening!" "Xia Sheng, you are here, good evening!" After a few greetings, Liu Tianci pointed to the woman beside him holding his hand and introduced to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, this is my lover Wang Wanrong." "Wan Rong, this is Xia Sheng, the boss of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and a genius who I mentioned to you." Then Liu Tianci introduced to his wife Wang Wanrong. "Hello Xia Sheng, I always listen to godsends mentioning you. I have always been curious about who he admires, and now I finally saw it. I am a talented person and I am glad to meet you!" Wang Wanrong said with a gentle smile. "Haha, my sister-in-law joked. Thanks to Liu Sheng''s praise, I am just an ordinary person. I should admire Liu Sheng. Not only do I have a successful career, but I also marry a gentle and generous wife like you, a winner in life!" Xia Yu quickly showed humility Said with a smile, praising Liu Tianci and his wife at the same time. "Hey, Xia Sheng, Godsend also said that you are young and old, and you are good at talking. Now that you see it!" Wang Wanrong chuckled, covering her mouth. Xia Yu shrugged helplessly, and joked to Liu Tianci: "Liu Sheng, I didn''t think I was hiding so deeply or was discovered by you. I think you are Monkey King, with fiery eyes." "Hahaha..." Liu Tianci couldn''t help laughing when he saw Xia Yu''s strangeness once. After all, in his eyes, Xia Yu has always been an old-fashioned image of not panicking, planning and moving. Now Xia Yu suddenly makes a joke, but he finds it very interesting. Of course, he also knew that it was because Xia Yu had a good relationship with him, so he was in a good mood. "By the way, Xia Sheng, why did you come alone without a female companion?" Liu Tianci questioned. Xia Yu said helplessly, "Do you think anyone at my age can be appreciated? Or would you introduce one to me?" Liu Tianci smiled openly and said, "Xia Sheng, you are so handsome and successful in your career, how can you like the rouge vulgar fan I introduced to you?" Xia Yu smiled helplessly and shook his head, and continued to chat with Liu Tianci. After all, Liu Tianci is the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities. He is among the top five heavyweights in the entire HSBC Securities. Of course, he has received the attention of the guests present. But now Liu Tianci and Xia Yu are chatting and laughing on the sidelines. At a glance, they know that the relationship is very close. This makes people who follow Liu Tianci wonder who is the young man in front of him. Can make Liu Tianci treat this way. And some people who are more concerned about the news recognize Xia Yu know that Xia Yu is the helm of the most influential "Jiuding Daily" in Xiangjiang now, and it can be said that he is a new newspaper tycoon. And he is a figure who has reached the pinnacle of the industry in one step. Many people are also thinking about getting to know Xia Yu. Some people who have read Xia Yu''s articles and have made a lot of gains have been acquainted with Xia Yu for a long time. Now they finally see real people, they also want to discuss the knowledge of the stock market with Xia Yu. Just seeing Liu Tianci and Xia Yu chatting so happily, out of politeness, it is not good to come over and interrupt. It seemed that he was aware of the thoughts of nearby guests, and happened to see a heavyweight coming in. Liu Tianci apologized and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, I am the host tonight, and I will be responsible for receiving other guests. , I¡¯m leaving for a while, let¡¯s have a good chat later." "Okay, you''re busy, don''t worry about me!" Xia Yu made a please gesture and said with a smile. Then, after Liu Tianci had left, Xia Yu saw someone walking towards him. "Xia Sheng, hello, I am... the XX company that advertises in your "Jiuding Daily" is that the advertising effect of your newspaper is really good..." ¡­¡­ Xia Yu responded enthusiastically with a smile, and also took this opportunity to expand his network. Suddenly, Xia Yu also became a small hot spot in the venue, attracting the attention of many big people. Although Xia Yu is young, no one will despise him. After all, those who are eligible to participate in the cocktail party are successful people with a certain degree of strength. Those who can succeed are not stupid people, and they will not do things like judging people by their appearance. It''s impossible to pretend to be slapped in the face here, and some are just normal communication. Chapter 82: Zhou Rongchangs advice When talking with the people around, Xia Yu did not forget to pay attention to other people present. Especially when someone who can clearly be seen to be a big man arrives, Xia Yu always inquires and understands without a trace. As time passed, more and more people were present. Xia Yu also recognized some people, such as Li Chaoren, the ship king Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji and other famous and powerful bosses of later generations. At first, Xia Yu didn''t realize why they would appear at the reception of HSBC Securities, but after a little thought, he figured it out. Li Zhao has been involved in the securities industry himself, and in the future he will still be the title of the Asian stock god. Since he is engaged in this industry, his relationship with HSBC Securities, the stock market, is certainly not bad. The relationship between Bao Yugang and HSBC is even more unquestionable. At present, Bao Yugang and the chairman of HSBC, Shen Bi, who has been given the title of "Taipan King", have no contradiction. Two years later, he borrowed from HSBC within 24 hours. More than two billion Hong Kong dollars were used to acquire Wharf. As for Li Chaoren¡¯s arrival, his Cheung Kong Holdings Company was listed, HSBC Securities is the main underwriter, and now he still holds a part of the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, HSBC Securities is holding a cocktail party, how could he not come? In addition to the big guys Xia Yu recognized, he also discovered that some people are not inferior to Li Chaoren and others, but Xia Yu didn''t know him. Soon, the reception began. Xia Yu saw an Englishman step onto the center of the stage and began to give a speech. After the speech, he announced the start of the reception. Xia Yu saw Liu Tianci with the Englishman, walking in the crowd, stopping to talk a few words, and came to Xia Yu unknowingly. "Xia Sheng, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Nat, the general manager of HSBC Securities, and also a director of HSBC." "General Manager, this is Xia Sheng, whom I told you about, the helm of "Jiuding Daily" and our major customer." Liu Tianci acts as an intermediary and introduces each other to each other. "Xia Sheng, I am Cole Nutt, I finally have the opportunity to meet you, thank you for your great support to us, and welcome your coming!" Li Qi said with a warm smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand. Xia Yu shook hands with him quickly, and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Nat, it is my honor to be invited to the reception of your company!" "¡­¡­" Then, Xia Yu and Li Qi talked a few more words, and then in order to take care of other people, Cole Nut and Xia Yu said sorry and left, and went on to the next person. Xia Yu was not idle either. He also seized the opportunity to meet and communicate with other people nearby and expand his network. All of a sudden, he laughed and laughed. After socializing for a while, Xia Yu felt a little hungry, so he left the crowd and went to the food area. He picked some food and ate. After eating, he sat in the corner and planned to take a rest. At this moment, Xia Yu found that an energetic old man was approaching. "Any chance to have a drink?" The old man raised his glass, nodded at Xia Yu and said with a smile. "My pleasure!" Xia Yu smiled slightly, raised his glass and touched the old man lightly. Just while drinking, Xia Yu secretly looked at the old man, wondering who he was. Because just now, when Xia Yu was observing, he found that there were a lot of people looking for this old man to toast, and most of them were very respectful. This shows that his status is very high. And now that the old man came to him for a drink, Xia Yu also felt that the eyes of the people around him seemed a little strange, and seemed very curious about what the old man would say to Xia Yu. This made Xia Yu cheer up, avoid saying wrong things, and pay attention. What will the old man tell him. "Xia Sheng, you are young and promising. You have created such an influential newspaper as "Jiuding Daily" in a short time. The future is boundless!" The old man laughed loudly. "No, it''s all good luck. Actually, I didn''t expect to develop so fast." Xia Yu said humbly. This old man was so familiar with him, which surprised him a bit, and obviously knew him better, but he But he didn''t know who the old man was, which made him a little passive. "Haha, I''m humble, the times make heroes, luck is also part of strength, and without strength, luck alone won''t work." Seeing Xia Yu''s modesty, the old man''s eyes flashed with appreciation, and he smiled openly. "I''m really sorry, I don''t know if you are the old man?" Xia Yu didn''t answer the topic, but instead apologized and asked tentatively. It seems that the old man has no intention of introducing himself, so being passive is not an option. Xia Yu can only take the initiative to ask. The old man was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that he didn''t expect Xia Yu to not know him, but he said so much. But he is not an ordinary person. He still looks natural and didn''t feel embarrassed. Instead, he shook his head and smiled slightly: "You see, I am really old and I have a bad memory. I forgot to introduce myself. I''m so sorry. My surname is Zhou and my name is Rongchang. , Ranked fifth in the family, people usually call me Zhou Laowu or Wushu." "Good Uncle Fifth!" Xia Yu hurriedly bowed and shouted, but he was still puzzled, because apart from his name, the old man didn''t say what he did. "Haha, young and talented, and polite, I haven''t seen a peer who is more outstanding than you in Xiangjiang." The old man Zhou Rongchang said with an appreciative smile. Xia Yu quickly showed a humble expression until he dare not. "When I am old, I always like to mention younger generations. Don''t be too talkative. You have a bright future. It is a good thing and a bad thing for young people to be vigorous. The key is to grasp the degree I am optimistic about you, come on!" Zhou Rongchang said encouragingly. Then, without waiting for Xia Yu to speak, he said again: "I''m old, it''s not useful anymore, I''ll go sit there, I won''t disturb you, and have fun!" After speaking, Zhou Rongchang nodded towards Xia Yu and left. Looking at the back of the old man Zhou Rongchang, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and his brain quickly turned. In the last sentence just now, Zhou Rongchang''s words are very meaningful. Although they have an element of encouragement, Xia Yu hears it more of alertness or exhortation. He was reminding Xia Yu that the words are euphemistic, which can also be replaced with a more sharp tone. is a good thing and a bad thing, Xia Yu focuses on bad things. also mentioned that Xia Yu should grasp it a little bit better, and to translate it more obviously is to know how to advance and retreat. Thinking of Zhou Rongchang, he would not come to Xia Yu to chat for no reason. He was telling Xia Yu not to be too sharp, but to stop in moderation and know how to advance and retreat. Of course, it seems to be to show that there is no malice. He said it in encouraging words. Obviously, he was also afraid that Xia Yu would think too much or cause unnecessary trouble. Then, Xia Yu thought of Zhou Rongchang thinking that Xia Yu would know him, so Xia Yu must know him, but Xia Yu did not know him, so this is worth thinking about. Within a short period of time, Xia Yu thought a hundred times, and had a general guess in his heart, but he was not so sure, he needed to determine who Zhou Rongchang was to be able to confirm his inner guess. Ps: The recommendation growth is a bit slow. I ask for the support of the recommendation tickets. It will be another week to decide whether to live or die. The recommendation place must be arranged before Wednesday. The recommendation ticket data is particularly important. I hope that you don''t run streaking again. Chapter 83: SD At this moment, Liu Tianci seemed to be moving freely, and walked towards Xia Yu. "Xia Sheng, what did you talk to Uncle Wu just now? There should be nothing wrong, right?" Liu Tianci obviously saw Zhou Rongchang chatting with Xia Yu, and asked, there was some concern in his words. It seemed that Zhou Rongchang was a big figure, and he deserved his attention. "I didn''t say anything, that is, my high spirits are both good and bad. I have to grasp a certain degree and encourage me by the way. What do you think?" "By the way, who is he?" Xia Yu did not conceal it, and directly told Liu Tianci about his conversation with Zhou Rongchang. He also wanted to see what Liu Tianci had about him. After all, he obviously knew Zhou Rongchang, and he could better understand what he meant and could help Xia Yu. Puzzle. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Liu Tianci¡¯s expression was a little dignified, and did not directly answer Xia Yu¡¯s words, but solemnly said: ¡°He comes from the Zhou family in Kowloon. The Zhou family is a veteran wealthy family in the Kowloon area and is much stronger than the Wu family. And the Zhou family is mainly engaged in finance, real estate and commerce. Of course, the Zhou family has nothing to do with you, but Zhou Rongchang has something to do with you, because he is the chairman of the board of directors of the Kowloon Stock Exchange! The Kowloon Stock Exchange was founded by him. ." Hearing Liu Tianci''s words, Xia Yu was surprised, and many doubts were figured out, and he understood why Zhou Rongchang would chat with him. Knowing that Zhou Rongchang was the chairman of the board of directors of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, Xia Yu understood that he was really related to him as Liu Tianci said. And the relationship is not ordinary! Although Xia Yu doesn''t know him, there are some things that are not distinguished by knowing him or not. Xia Yu has not forgotten how "Jiuding Daily" emerged. And during this period of time, Xia Yu has also often recommended stocks, and he has also joined the operations. It can be said that he is using public opinion to manipulate stock prices. Although the current financial supervision system of Xiangjiang is not perfect, the future stock exchange has not been established, and it does not clearly stipulate that it is illegal to manipulate the stock price, but it cannot be denied that Xia Yu did manipulate the stock price and affected the normal operation of the exchange. Now the chairman of the board of directors of the Kowloon Stock Exchange came to the door, apparently warning Xia Yu to converge. Although the words are not harsh, Xia Yu also knows that this is a courtesy first and then a soldier. If he still does what he wants, then Xia Yu will be hardened later. Xia Yu did not forget that the current Kowloon Stock Exchange is not government-run, but privately-run. Obviously Zhou''s family is one of the shareholders, and it is still the lead. The shares will definitely not be small. Xia Yu seriously affected the order of the stock market. After the incident in the Wu family a few days ago, obviously the Kowloon Stock Exchange also understood Xia Yu¡¯s destructive power and energy, and was worried about uncontrollable things in the future, so he came to wake him up in advance. . He makes money on other people''s turf, so he has to give others face. In case he irritates the Kowloon Stock Exchange, it is not impossible to restrict Xia Yu''s entry. After all, the rules were made by them, and it is still possible to convict Xia Yu. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s expression, Liu Tianci knew that Xia Yu had understood. He solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, I suggest you lower your head for now. Actually, it¡¯s nothing to manipulate public opinion. Many people have done it before. Your relationship is more cryptic, and your face looks good." "As long as you can''t grasp the handle, don''t worry, and with your ability, you must set up your own securities company or fund in the future, and normalize the operation. When your strength is strong, you are the rule. Now people are under the roof, so..." "I understand!" Seeing Liu Tianci talking so much to him so caringly, Xia Yu''s heart felt warm, and he nodded gratefully. "It seems that the "Economic" magazine must be launched as soon as possible!" Xia Yu muttered in his heart. As long as the "Economics" magazine is launched, the foundation of "Jiuding Daily" can be strengthened, and the articles and analysis of other economic experts can get rid of the dependence on Xia Yu and make Zhou Rongchang look better. After all, Zhou Rongchang came to him on behalf of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, so how could he save face. As Liu Tianci said, if he wants to find food on other people¡¯s sites, he has to give his master face. is not to say that Xia Yu is not allowed to recommend stocks, but Xia Yu has affected the normal operation of the stock market, and the frequency is still high, affecting their interests. Xia Yu can completely switch to another method. He set up his own securities company, so it is a normal operation to provide stock research reports. When the "Jiuding Daily" reprints, then the Kowloon Stock Exchange will have nothing to say. And the effect is still the same. It is possible that the effect will be better. After all, the stock research report issued by a professional securities company is more credible and authoritative. Previously recommending stocks was a normal behavior. The Kowloon Stock Exchange could not be blamed. Xia Yu''s funds were also handed over to HSBC Securities for operation. In the end, the funds were also transferred to Xia Yu''s bank account by HSBC Securities. The Securities Regulatory Commission of the Kowloon Stock Exchange could not find out. , Even if there are rumors, it is a matter of catching the wind, and there is no way to take Xia Yu. But this time in the operation of Dafa Real Estate, it is too obvious. People with a discerning eye can see that Xia Yu is involved, and Xia Yu often enters HSBC Securities. He will always be seen. This is something that cannot be hidden. It is estimated that the evidence should be caught this time, so I went to Xia Yu directly to let Xia Yu converge. After all, if Xia Yu is so obviously manipulating stock prices, if the Kowloon Stock Exchange remains indifferent, other people may follow suit, and then there will be trouble in the future. In fact, from a rational point of view, Xia Yu and Zhou Rongchang are thinking about each other, and he will also take warning measures. There is nothing wrong with this, the interests determine the position and the head. Of course, the "Jiuding Daily" had planned to reduce its dependence on him a long time ago, and now it is just urging Xia Yu to complete it earlier. It¡¯s just that Xia Yu is still a little unhappy. After all, he is being coerced by others. The active and passive mentality are completely different. But when he should endure, he still has to endure. This is reality. Who makes him not strong enough? If he has billions of dollars in assets and stands on the top of Hong Kong, he will not have to give face to the people behind the Kowloon Stock Exchange! It''s a pity that Xia Yu doesn''t have such a big capital, so smart people can see the situation clearly. When they should bow their heads, they should bow their heads. Impulsiveness can''t solve the problem, so let''s admit it first. "It seems that after the publication of "Economics" magazine, a securities company or a fund should be established as soon as possible, and the operation will be standardized, and the safety and freedom will be higher!" Xia Yu thought to himself. Then, Xia Yu chatted with Liu Tianci again, or chatted with other people. When the reception was almost the same, Xia Yu also bid farewell to Liu Tianci. Sitting in the car Xia Yu looked out the window, as the car was driving, the refreshing wind blew in from the window, making Xia Yu a lot clearer. Just as the car was passing a bar, Xia Yu''s eyes condensed and said to Yan Shining, "Brother Yan, stop for a while." Yan Shining braked immediately and looked back at Xia Yu, only to find that Xia Yu was staring out of the window. He followed his gaze and found that Xia Yu was looking at the glass window of a bar. Inside the glass showcase of the bar, there is a half-meter-high brown wine bottle with the words \''Taghta\'' written in English. Yan Shining doesn''t know it, and on the bottleneck, there is'' SD'' letters. Yan Shining was a little confused, wondering what Xia Yu was doing with this. If it weren''t for Xia Yu to stop suddenly to see, Yan Shining would not deliberately pay attention to these things. Do these letters have any special meaning? Yan Shining definitely couldn''t figure it out, but he didn''t ask, knowing that he couldn''t disturb Xia Yu''s thinking. After half a minute, Xia Yu retracted his gaze and said to Yan Shining, "Big Brother Yan, go back." "Ok!" Then, the car started again and drove in the direction of Xia Yu''s home. just sitting in the car, Xia Yu was a little lost, still thinking about the wine bottle. "Taghte...Scotch Whiskey..." "SD¡­¡­shadow¡­¡­" ¡­¡­ Ps: Fight it, otherwise it would be really shocking to run naked next week! The votes cast in the previous 9 hours are also counted. As long as it is before 10 pm on Wednesday, every 2000 more recommended votes will add a chapter. It will be added after Wednesday and after the event ends. I don¡¯t need to doubt my character. Everyone smash the tickets! Don''t be afraid to kill me! Chapter 84: Interpol The next day was Sunday, Xia Yu dealt with the affairs of the day at the company, and then drove to pick up Xia Jun. It has been a long time for Xia Yu to get together with Xia Jun and Xia Lei. Today is Xia Lei¡¯s birthday. Xia Yu also wants to celebrate his birthday with Xia Jun. This was discussed a few days ago. Well, it happened that Xia Jun also had a holiday today, and the day was pretty good. After receiving Xia Jun, the car drove towards the destination. "A Yu, I don¡¯t know what Lei Zi thinks. For his birthday, he chooses a big hotel instead of going to the food stall. He said that there is one that tastes very good. No matter how good it is, it can be compared to a big hotel. I really don''t believe it." Xia Jun sat in the car and chatted with Xia Yu. "Haha, Leizi said that it was an old store. The ancestor was an imperial kitchen in the palace. Maybe there is a secret recipe. Whether you try it, Leizi shouldn''t let us down." Xia Yu said with a smile. "I will just say a few words, as long as the three of us eat together, it will be the same everywhere." Xia Jun also followed with a smile. ¡­¡­ The car continued to drive for more than ten minutes, turning around and turning around, and finally saw a food stall. Unfortunately, there was no parking space in front of the food stall. Xia Yu could only let Yan Shining drive the car to a clearing more than ten meters away. . "Okay, this is it, I happened to see Leizi too." Xia Jun said to Xia Yu after getting off the car and looking at the name of the store. Xia Yu also looked over, and indeed saw Xia Lei beckoning at them, the three of Xia Yu quickly walked over. At the door of the store, Xia Yu found out that the business in this store was pretty good. The store was full of people, only there was room outside. But Xia Yu didn''t care about these things. They were all from poor people, and he still ate with his brothers, not so particular. The three of them directly found a table and sat down, and Xia Lei took the menu to order. Because of the large number of people, the food is also slow. Fortunately, there are snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts. Xia Yu also knocked up the melon seeds. "Leizi, see you and the owner of this shop are quite familiar, come here often?" Seeing Xia Lei and the boss talking and laughing, and there are obviously more snacks at this table than at other tables, Xia Yu asked with a smile. "This shop happened to be covered by me, but to be honest, his food is really delicious." Xia Lei smiled. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "No wonder you came out alone, but on your own territory, you have to pay attention to safety." "Ayu, don''t worry, I have a brother nearby, but I''m sitting farther." Saying that Xia Lei gestured towards a place, Xia Yu looked over and found that there were a few people sitting in front of a store not far away. Seeing Xia Lei looking over, he nodded in motion. "Walking on the road, always pay attention to safety." Xia Jun vomited a melon seed shell and also interrupted. Xia Lei nodded, and then continued to talk. At this moment, Xia Yu saw two foreigners passing by, and then stopped at the convenience store next to him, seeming to be buying cigarettes. Xia Yu turned his gaze back with a little attention, not surprising, after all, there are still many foreigners in Xiangjiang. "Pattern!" Suddenly, a soft sound rang next to him. Xia Yu looked over reflexively and found that it was a foreigner who fell on the ground because he was paying for it. The foreigner just leaned over to pick it up. Xia Yu glanced casually, his eyes condensed suddenly, and then he felt the foreigner look up and ready to look at him. Xia Yu turned around nonchalantly and continued to chat with Xia Lei, pretending to see nothing. Only in a place where the two foreigners could not see, Xia Yu frowned slightly, while chatting and secretly paying attention to them, until he saw two foreigners entering a hotel not far away, Xia Yu remembered the name of the hotel . "Why do they appear here? Is there something going to happen?" Xia Yu thought to himself. Of course, the change in Xia Yu''s expression can''t hide from Xia Jun and Xia Lei, who are familiar with her. Just now because people didn''t leave, they were not easy to ask, and they always cooperated in acting. After the two foreigners left, Xia Lei looked around, and then whispered: "A Yu, what''s the matter, those two foreigners have a problem just now?" After thinking about it, Xia Yu didn''t intend to conceal it, and the identities of the two people were somewhat special, so it was better for Xia Lei and Xia Jun to know. He whispered, "Those two are Interpol." As soon as the voice fell, Xia Lei and Xia Jun''s expressions changed a little. Xia Lei didn''t know what Interpol was, but he knew it was a police literally. The most annoying thing about him is the police, so he should pay attention of course. And Xia Jun himself is a policeman, of course he knows what Interpol does. INTERPOL needs to remain politically neutral. It will not intervene in any political, military, religious or ethnic crimes, nor will it intervene in non-transnational crimes. Interpol mainly investigates terrorist activities, organized crime, laundry detergent, arms smuggling, smuggling of humans and snakes, money laundering, child pornography, high-tech crimes, and corruption. Therefore, if Interpol can be dispatched, it proves that there is a major case in that area. Then I thought that he did feel the atmosphere in the police station during this period of time was more solemn. He didn''t know what was going on before. After all, he was just a new low-level policeman. Of course he had no authority to know this kind of important information. But now that I know that Interpol is coming to Xiangjiang, he immediately reacted. It should be who the Interpol has been targeting. UU reading www.uukanshu. com Or someone targeted by Interpol is now active in Xiangjiang. I just didn''t expect to be recognized by Xia Yu. Xia Jun was a little confused about how Xia Yu recognized it. "A Yu, how can you be sure they are?" Xia Jun asked in a low voice. Interpol generally cooperates with the local police, so it is also related to Xia Jun. Maybe Xia Jun will be involved in the operation when he arrives, so he is more concerned about the news. Seeing that Xia Jun and Xia Lei are paying more attention to this matter, Xia Yu explained: "Did one of them drop something? It was a document with a few English letters on the cover, which is the full name of Interpol." Xia Jun and Xia Lei were stunned, but Xia Lei still didn''t know what Interpol was doing, so he asked again. Xia Jun quickly explained to him, after listening, Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and said indifferently: "Fortunately, it has nothing to do with me, and I won''t be looking at a small person like me." Xia Yu nodded. The Tiger Club where Xia Lei was in, he also spoke of Xia Lei, and he was indeed not qualified to be targeted by Interpol. But he still reminded: "Also pay attention during this period. After all, the supervision of the police in Hong Kong will be stricter." Xia Jun also cooperated and affirmed Xia Yu''s statement. Xia Lei nodded without refuting. Just then, the store started serving food. "Come on, don''t talk about this, try it first." Xia Lei greeted. ¡­¡­ ps: The new book issue is rare to add updates. Can you get it? How many chapters you can get depends on the results of everyone''s concerted efforts. Every 2000 recommended votes will add one chapter. Last time, I voted for 1,300 votes in 14 hours. Tian can also get three chapters, please recommend! Chapter 85: Killer "Hey, this tastes really good!" I took a chopstick and tasted it, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and exclaimed. "It''s really good, Leizi, you''re good at finding a place!" Xia Jun also exclaimed, and Zhao Xia Lei gave a thumbs up. "Hey!" Xia Lei smiled cheerfully. Xia Yu and Xia Jun are happy when they are satisfied. After all, he insisted on coming here, which also proves that he has vision. "Brother Yan, you also move your chopsticks, don''t see outside." Seeing Yan Shining hadn''t moved his chopsticks, Xia Lei greeted him quickly. He also knew that Yan Shining became Xia Yu''s bodyguard, and he would depend on him to protect Xia Yu''s safety. Of course, Xia Lei''s attitude towards Yan Shining became very good. "Okay, I''ll do it myself!" Yan Shining said quickly. ¡­¡­ "Boss, bring a box of wine!" After eating a few mouthfuls, only to find that he hadn''t got the wine, Xia Lei shouted towards the store. Xia Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "I almost forgot. I bought two bottles of good wine in the morning. I didn''t take them off in the car. Let me give you a taste." Xia Jun and Xia Lei showed interesting expressions. Xia Lei was not polite, and smiled expectantly: "A Yu, then I have to taste your good wine." "Brother Yan, the car key is with you, please go help and get it in the trunk." Xia Yu said to Yan Shining. "Ok." Yan Shining nodded, then put down his chopsticks and walked quickly towards the parking place. Xia Yu and the three chatted happily again. At this moment, a person passed by behind Xia Yu. Xia Lei was sitting next to Xia Yu, and he could see the people next to him. Of course he would pay attention to someone walking by. Just this look, his eyes condensed, and he felt something was wrong. Because he found that the man''s hand was in his trouser pocket, but the trouser pocket was too bulging, and it was completely different from the shape that one hand could support. Xia Lei glanced at the man, only to find that he was obviously nervous after looking at him, and then he saw that the man¡¯s hand quickly took out something from his pocket. When that thing just came out of his pocket, Xia Lei was shocked, because what was exposed was a black pistol handle. Also, Xia Lei was horrified to find that the person''s starting hand was facing Xia Yu''s back. He wants to kill Xia Yu! And Xia Yu hasn''t noticed yet, he is talking and laughing with Xia Jun. And Xia Jun also reacted at this time, but Xia Yu hadn''t noticed yet. That''s too late! In an instant, the man had already pulled out his pistol and was about to shoot at Xia Yu. Xia Lei''s eyes were about to split, without even thinking about it, he rushed towards Xia Yu who hadn''t noticed yet. "boom!" At that moment, the gunfire also rang, along with the muffled sound of bullets entering the human body and Xia Lei''s muffled snort. Seeing that a shot missed the target, the man was obviously taken aback, but he immediately recovered and wanted to fire a second shot. But at this time Xia Jun had already reacted, took a stool and hit the man''s hand, and the pistol was directly knocked to the ground. "Dang!" Xia Jun is not in trouble, although he is very worried about Xia Lei and Xia Yu, but he knows that the danger has not been eliminated, and directly hit the assassin who attacked Xia Yu. Yan Shining, who was not far away, didn''t notice the situation here because he was holding wine. But when the gunfire sounded, he reflexively followed the reputation, just to see the scene where the killer''s pistol was knocked out by Xia Jun, and Xia Yu and Xia Lei were lying down on the belt, not knowing who was injured. Yan Shining was very anxious, she didn''t want to drop things directly, and rushed towards Xia Yu. The three younger brothers of Xia Lei who also found the situation also got up and rushed over. In addition, the killer was not alone. A group of gangsters with hand-held devices rushed out of a nearby store. At this time, customers who were eating at several nearby shops also shouted loudly and hurriedly fled. For a time, the scene was chaotic. "Leizi! Leizi!" Xia Yu, who was thrown to the ground by Xia Lei, was a little dazed at first, but the gunshot woke him up, and when he reacted immediately, Xia Lei helped him block him. Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and looked at Xia Lei, only to see his face pale. The clothes were stained bright red with blood. "A Yu, I''m fine, run!" Xia Lei is a person who has seen the world, and his body is very strong, endurance and willpower are amazing. Despite the cramps in his abdomen, he can''t let Xia Yu have an accident! He endured the pain, yelled at Xia Yu, then gritted his teeth, his face burst into blue veins, and he burst out with amazing willpower. After supporting his arm, he climbed up again and took a bench to join. fighting. How could Xia Yu run? He knew that people would basically lose their combat effectiveness if they were shot, even if they were only pistols with low lethality. Only a small number of people can stand up again if they have surprising willpower or hurt the vital parts. And hold on for a while at most, now Xia Lei is obviously holding on, absolutely can''t hold on for long, if he leaves Xia Lei will definitely be rescued, he is not the one who can leave his brother! What''s more, Xia Lei still blocked him! Xia Yu also picked up the stool and rushed over. As long as you hold on for a few seconds, when Yan Shining comes over, the situation will get better, he believes Yan Shining has such a strong ability! Sure enough, Yan Shining rushed over within a few seconds, and at the same time the group of enemies with weapons rushed over. "Boss, stand back!" Yan Shining roared. Seeing him without looking back, like a tiger entering a flock, he directly hit a gangster with a hand knife and grabbed a long knife. In the next scene, Xia Yu''s adrenaline soared, Yan Shining did not keep his hands at all, opened and closed, blood splashed, and screams kept ringing. In addition to Yan Shining, the few of Xia Lei''s men also rushed over, and a group of people rushed over from a distance. It should be in Xia Lei''s club. After all, this area is the site of their Tiger Club. There should be no shortage. Seeing that Yan Shining was coming, and he was still gaining the upper hand, Xia Lei''s strong support to the ground also vented, and his body shook and fell directly to the ground. Xia Yu hugged him quickly. "A Yu, take Leizi to the hospital. He is bleeding heavily. If he slows down, he will die!" Xia Jun also stopped fighting and supported Xia Lei with Xia Yu. He shouted anxiously when he saw Xia Lei''s face pale and bloodless, his lips trembled, and the upper half of his shirt was bright red. "Go, take Leizi into the car." Xia Yu also knew that the situation was urgent, and as he spoke, he helped Xia Lei and quickly walked towards the car not far away. At this time, the people on Xia Lei''s side had also rushed over and fought with the people on the killer''s side, and because Yan Shining had already killed some, they had the upper hand. At this time, Yan Shining happened to see the pistol on the ground. It was the one that the killer attacked Xia Yu but was knocked out by Xia Jun. He stepped on the pistol, picked up the pistol, grabbed it, and fired quickly. "Boom! Bang! Bang!" "There are guns! Run!" "I am lost, dead, run!" ¡­¡­ Yan Shining fired several shots, headshots, and immediately frightened everyone present. People who escape run faster. Yan Shining had served as a soldier after all. He also knew how serious the shooting was and he knew that he could not wait any longer. Now it is important to save Xia Lei. But Yan Shining also hated the assassin who attacked Xia Yu so he didn''t kill him at first, but interrupted his hands and feet, so it is useful to keep it. At this time, the besieged person was dispersing birds and beasts. Yan Shining pulled him up in the assassin¡¯s horrified gaze, hit him with a **** on the back of his brain, stunned, and then dragged him quickly towards the parking place. . Yan Shining stuffed the person directly into the trunk, then quickly got into the car and started the car. "Go to the hospital immediately!" Xia Jun looked at Xia Lei who had passed out, and hurriedly shouted to Yan Shining. "Don''t go to the hospital, the hospital is not safe, go to the Chunqiu Medical Center, hurry!" Xia Yu said quickly. He can''t guarantee that it is safe to go to the hospital. After all, he doesn''t know how powerful the attacker is. If he goes to the hospital and is attacked again, there is nowhere to escape. And the safest place Xia Yu knew, and the place to save Xia Lei, was the Chunqiu Medical Center. He can only hope Li Chunqiu. The time is urgent and every minute must be raced against. Yan Shining stepped on the accelerator without answering, and rushed towards the Spring and Autumn Medical Hall. After Xia Yu and others left, more members of the Tiger Club arrived, not only arrested those who had not escaped the trouble, but also dragged those who were killed by Yan Shining away to clean up their traces. ¡­¡­ Ps: During this period of time, in order to enhance the sense of substitution, I went to look for Hong Kong movies and wrote like this before I knew it. The image of Huazi always appeared in my mind, poisonous! Want to rise first, to suppress, hope not to suppress too much, how much hate avenues how much hatred, contradictions promote the plot, considering that some friends complained about the Majia too rubbish, then let it be more real. Is it because there is no billing chapter, so I don¡¯t need to vote for changes? ??(??£þ??£þ?)???? Chapter 86: Do not avenge this revenge, swear not Soon, the car arrived at the Chunqiu Medical Center. Yan Shining got off the car and rushed in and called Li Chunqiu. And Xia Yu and Xia Jun carried the unconscious Xia Lei into the hospital. "Doctor, my brother was shot and he is unconscious, please help him!" Seeing Li Chunqiu, Xia Yu hurriedly shouted, his face full of anxiety. Li Chunqiu did not hesitate, so Xia Yu quickly carried Xia Lei into the hospital bed inside, and then opened Xia Lei''s clothes to check. Xia Yu panted heavily and his heart was beating extremely fast. Although he wanted to know Xia Lei''s situation very anxiously, he didn''t dare to speak any more, so he could only pray that Li Chunqiu would rescue Xia Lei. Li Wuyang, who was in the back room, also heard movement and sound. He saw Yan Shining standing guard at the door. He nodded to Yan Shining and glanced at Yan Shining. He saw a person lying on the bed inside. Old father Li Chunqiu was standing there. Cure. "What''s the situation?" Li Wuyang asked Yan Shining. "Xia Sheng was attacked, and his brother Xia Lei blocked the gun for him, and he is still in a coma." Yan Shining said briefly. Li Wuyang frowned, looked at Yan Shining with piercing eyes and asked, "With your skill, how can you still cause Xia Sheng to have an accident?" Yan Shining''s face was ashamed, his fists were clenched, and he was very self-blaming. Although Xia Yu asked him to get the wine, in the end he was still not vigilant enough. It was his protection. If he has been by Xia Yu''s side, he will be alert if anyone approaches him, and will not kill the phone. Fortunately, it was Xia Lei who helped Xia Yu block the gun. If Xia Yu was shot, he could not forgive himself if he died. But even if Xia Lei was shot, he still blamed himself. This incident was an insult to him! Especially when Li Wuyang asked him, he felt even more unable to look up. In the past two days, he has occasionally seen Li Wuyang practicing martial arts, knowing that he is a peer, but ashamed in front of his peers, his self-esteem is even more unbearable. Right is right, wrong is wrong, the explanation is the behavior of the weak, he sighed and did not explain the situation to Li Wuyang. Seeing that Yan Shining didn''t say anything, Li Wuyang didn''t ask too much. He looked at the situation in the house again, then walked towards the place where the phone was placed, and dialed a call. "Hua Tsai, call some people to come to my house to guard and forbid unknown people to approach!" After Li Wuyang hung up the phone, he took a stool to the door, sat down with his back against the wall, and looked around. ¡­¡­ Time passed by Xia Yu and Xia Jun anxiously waiting. Seeing that Li Chunqiu took out the bullet and stopped Xia Lei''s bleeding, he stopped to pack his tools, and Xia Lei was still in a coma. Xia Yu hurriedly asked: "Doctor, what''s the situation with my brother now?" Li Chunqiu showed a relieved smile, comforting Xia Yu and Xia Jun. "The situation is not bad, he was fatal, the bullet hit the waist muscle, and did not damage the internal organs or bones, and his body was strong enough." "And it was delivered in time, and the blood loss is still within control. I have helped him take out the bullet now, so I just need to recover with peace of mind." "I will give him medicine right away, and he will probably wake up tonight or tomorrow." "Thank you doctor, thank you doctor!" Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, grateful, and thanked again and again. "I''ll go out and dispense medicine for him first." After Li Chunqiu finished speaking, he walked outside. Looking at Xia Lei lying on the hospital bed, seeing his pale face and lips, Xia Lei threw him down again in Xia Yu''s mind, and the scene where Xia Lei threw him down, and the scene of still fighting hard after being shot. The more I think about Xia Yu, the more uncomfortable he feels, and his eyes are sour and want to cry. "boom!" Xia Yu punched the wall with a sound, attracting the eyes of Xia Jun and Yan Shining. Seeing Xia Yu sad and self-blaming, Xia Jun was also uncomfortable, but he knew that he could not let Xia Yu fall into a self-blaming situation, otherwise he would easily leave a psychological shadow. "A Yu, don''t be sad. Didn''t the doctor say that Lei Zi is dead? The most important thing now is to avenge Lei Zi." Xia Jun patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and comforted. Hearing Xia Jun''s words, Xia Yu suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes, his face was cruel, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If this revenge is not reported, I will not give up! Let me find out. I want his family''s life to fill it!" "A Yu, didn''t Brother Yan just arrested someone and came back? I''m going to interrogate him clearly now. You are watching Leizi here." Xia Jun nodded and agreed with Xia Yu''s statement. Suddenly he remembered that Yan Shining had caught someone back, just because he didn''t put it in the car. Just now, all his mind was put on Xia Lei, and now he finally remembered. "Brother Jun, we must find out! After the interrogation, I will throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" Xia Yu said with a sullen expression. Xia Jun nodded, and then he went out with Yan Shining. After a while, Li Chunqiu came in again and changed Xia Lei''s medicine again. "Xia Sheng, don''t worry, your brother is not life-threatening. I have already boiled the ginseng soup. When he wakes up, I can feed him. With his physique, his cultivation speed will be much faster than ordinary people." Seeing Xia Yu''s face still worried, Li Chunqiu comforted again. "Doctor, trouble you!" Xia Yu pouted and nodded. ¡­¡­ After a long time, Yan Shining and Xia Jun entered the ward again. They saw that there was no one in the room except Xia Yu and Xia Lei who was unconscious. Xia Jun told Xia Yu about the interrogation. "A Yu, that person''s mouth is very tight, but Big Brother Yan has a way, and in the end it is clear that he is a member of the Ma family, and Ma Chengkun asked him to kill you." Xia Jun said with a solemn expression. "A Yu, things are in trouble, you are very dangerous now, they will not give up unless you kill you!" Ma''s family! One of the four big underground families in Xiangjiang, with amazing energy, and the two reporters of the Ma family started their business by selling washing powder. Everyone knows that the sellers of washing powder are cruel and cruel, and they have more lives in their hands than ordinary black people. It is estimated that smuggling arms can be compared. Now that Xia Yu is completely targeted by the Ma family, he has already sent someone to shoot Xia Yu. Now that it has failed, they will get news soon. It is impossible for them to stop, and it will be even crazier next time! Xia Yu is in danger! Xia Jun''s anxiety can be imagined! Xia Yu took a deep breath, and instead of answering Xia Jun''s words, he asked, "Where is that person?" "Lost in the sea!" Yan Shining, who had been silent on the side, said. Xia Yu nodded, and then said to the worried Xia Jun: "Brother Jun, I want my life and hurt Leizi. Even the Ma family must pay the price." "But the energy of the Ma Family is really too great. We are weak and we have no power to resist!" Xia Jun hurriedly persuaded. Although he also wanted to avenge Xia Lei, he didn''t want Xia Yu to avenge Xia Yu by hitting the stone with an egg. Hope is too small! There is already a brother who was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He doesn''t want Xia Yu to have another accident! "Boss, let me go, even if it''s a wolf cave, I can kill one back and forth to help you take revenge!" Yan Shining said firmly. This is his mistake. He is a man with strong self-esteem, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Even if he enters the army, he is the best fighter. He has never suffered. As a result, he planted such a big somersault this time, and he made a big mistake when he became Xia Yu''s bodyguard. He could not forgive himself unless he found his place. "No need!" Xia Yu directly denied Yan Shining''s idea. Then he fell into deep thought and paced back and forth in the room. Seeing Xia Yu thinking of a solution, Xia Jun and Yan Shining could only keep quiet to avoid disrupting Xia Yu''s thinking. While Xia Yu was meditating, his brain was running at high speed, trying to recall all the news about the Ma family. a long time. "It seems that the Ma¡¯s family had an accident during this time. Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen absconded to Taiwan Province, UU Reading and now Interpol has also appeared. The time is exactly the same, so there is no chance for revenge. !" "Just, I have to think about how to do it..." "Taghte..." "SD......shadow?......" Xia Yu murmured, his eyes brighter and brighter. "First check the details of the Ma family, and then look for opportunities!" Xia Yu secretly said. "Ayu, do you have a way?" Xia Yu''s expression change did not deliberately hide, so Xia Jun saw it, and he hurriedly asked. Xia Yu nodded, and then said: "Brother Jun, don''t worry, I will not hit a rock with an egg and do not do anything uncertain." "If you can kill with a knife, you have to see detailed information!" "A Yu, what are you going to do?" Xia Jun asked hurriedly. "Look at Leizi, I will go out first and come back later!" Xia Yu said to Xia Jun. "You still go out, in case..." Xia Jun stopped. "Don''t worry, I''ll be careful this time, and the Ma family didn''t make another move so soon. I''ll be back soon!" Xia Yu patted Xia Jun on the shoulder with a solemn expression. Seeing Xia Yu''s decision, Xia Jun opened his mouth, but in the end he did not dissuade him again. "Big Brother Yan, please protect A Yu!" Xia Jun said to Yan Shining pleadingly. "As long as I am not dead, I will never let the boss have an accident!" Yan Shining nodded heavily. This is also what he said in his heart. There has been such a big mistake, if the problem occurs again, he really has no face to come back. "Go!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took Yan Shining to the outside. Looking at Xia Yu''s back, Xia Jun could only pray secretly that Xia Yu would not be involved. Chapter 87: Scotch As soon as he left, Xia Yu first called Liu Tianci''s home and asked Liu Tianci to help him prepare an anonymous bank card and deposit one million Hong Kong dollars in it. When I received Xia Yu''s call, Liu Tianci had already taken a shower and was watching TV at home. Although I don''t know why Xia Yu suddenly made this request, he was very anxious when he heard Xia Yu''s tone. Liu Tianci did not hesitate and immediately agreed to help. At night, HSBC closed its doors a long time ago, and Liu Tianci was only an executive in the securities department. Even if he wanted to help Xia Yu, it would be troublesome, so he called a few friends in the banking department and asked them to help. It only took half an hour when Xia Yu got the bank card. At the door of HSBC, Liu Tianci asked with concern: "Xia Sheng, what happened, is there anything I can do for you?" He saw that Xia Yu was in a bad mood, and his bodyguards were also on high alert, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation at all times, which made Liu Tianci involuntarily think about bad things. Xia Yu said with a grateful smile: "Thanks, Liu Sheng, you have helped me a lot. There is nothing wrong, I can solve it myself." Xia Yu didn''t seem to involve Liu Tianci, and Liu Tianci really couldn''t help him next. Now that he was tossed at night, it had already helped him a lot. Xia Yu was already very grateful. "Well then, pay attention to safety!" Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t want to talk, Liu Tianci sighed and nodded. "Hmm! I''m leaving first, see you tomorrow!" Xia Yu said again, and then took Yan Shining into the car. Looking at Xia Yu''s hurried back, Liu Tianci let out a long sigh, and could only pray that Xia Yu would not do anything bad. ¡­¡­ "Brother Yan, go to the bar where you stopped by yesterday." As soon as he got in the car, Xia Yu spoke, and after speaking, he took out the notebook and started to write. Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the bar, and Xia Yu took Yan Shining into the bar quickly. As soon as he walked into the bar, Xia Yu calmly got up instead, and walked slowly towards the bar with a smile on his face like a young man who came to find happiness. There are two foreign women on the bar, dressed very **** and beautiful. They are mixing drinks there. They are also twisting with the music, but they are not interrupted and they are very elegant. But Xia Yu clearly felt that at the moment he came in, both women noticed him and Yan Shi NX Yu behind him, sitting in front of a bar beauty, looking at her with admiration, and then speaking in English: "Hey, beauty, good evening!" "This gentleman, what do you need to order?" The foreign beauty looked at Xia Yu and said with a chuckle, her smile full of charm. "Whiskey!" Xia Yu snapped his fingers, raised his eyebrows at the beauty and smiled. "There are many kinds of whiskey, which one do you need?" On one side of the foreign beauty, Yu pointed at the wine on the wine cabinet, and said with a smile. "Scotch whisky is the most delicious!" Xia Yu''s expression remained unchanged, still smiling. As soon as ¡¡¡¡''s voice fell, Xia Yu obviously felt that in addition to the bar beauty in front of him, the one next to him also paused. Although he recovered immediately, he was still noticed by Xia Yu who had been paying attention. Xia Yu must be in his heart, it seems that the memory in his mind is not wrong. "Sir, you really have taste. Scotch whisky is indeed the most delicious." The bar lady smiled and took the bottle of Scotch whisky. Then, she took out a wine glass, without asking Xia Yu, she opened the bottle cap and wanted to pour wine into the glass. But Xia Yu stopped her movement and said again: "I need to blend, 80% pure malt whiskey." There are many varieties of Scotch whiskey. According to different raw materials and brewing methods, it can be divided into three categories: pure malt whiskey, grain whiskey and blended whiskey. Duihe whiskey, also known as blended whiskey, refers to a blend of pure malt whiskey and grain whiskey. Blending is a highly technical job, and the blending and blending of whiskey is mastered by the blender. According to the ratio of pure malt whiskey to grain whiskey, the blended whiskey is divided into two types: normal and high-grade according to the ratio of pure malt whisky in the liquor. Generally speaking, the amount of pure malt whisky is 50-80%, it is high-grade blended whisky. The 80% pure malt whiskey requested by Xia Yu happens to be the highest proportion. The bar beauty stopped her movements, she glanced at Xia Yu, smiled more, and whispered, "Okay, please wait a moment." After ¡¡¡¡ said, the barbeauty began to mix Xia Yu. Seeing her elegant bartending moves, Xia Yu smiled and did not speak, but he was secretly relieved. If Xia Yu didn''t stop her movement and asked him to pour the wine, Xia Yu would have come for nothing tonight. According to the memory in my mind, in order to test whether the person who came out is really to do something, there are several secret codes, just to avoid oolong. The first code is ¡®whiskey¡¯, one more word won¡¯t work. The code in the second sentence must be ¡®Scotch Whiskey is the most delicious¡¯, and there must be no more or fewer words. The last cipher is the most important, that is, ¡®I need to blend, 80% pure malt whiskey¡¯. And the last cipher must be said in time, because after the first two ciphers, in order to determine again whether someone is here to do something, the last pass is the most difficult. Because the host will not ask any more questions, but will pour the wine directly, just to test it, and must also answer the code If you don¡¯t actively say the code before the host pours the wine, then just take it. In order to give up, he would doubt if Xia Yu had other bad thoughts. Then Xia Yu was unlucky. But it¡¯s okay. Although Xia Yu did this for the first time, everything went well and there were no errors. "Sir, your wine!" Soon, the barbeauty made up the wine, gave it to Xia Yu, and made a request. "Thank you!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked, then took out the folded one hundred Hong Kong dollars in the pocket of his clothes and pushed it on the bar counter. "Thank you sir!" The bar beauty put her jade hand on Xia Yu''s and smiled at Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded, and then pulled out his hand, watching the bar beauty pull the money cover and fall into a box. Xia Yu was relieved and took a sip from the wine glass. Even though he was not used to the taste of whiskey, Xia Yu didn''t change his face, he still drank the wine with a smile, and then stopped looking at the bar beauties, and instead enjoyed the performances in the bar, enjoying and drinking. More than ten minutes later, Xia Yu finally finished his last sip of wine. "Perfect!" Xia Yu put down the wine glass and said with a smile. Then, Xia Yu nodded to the bar beauty, and took Yan Shining to the outside of the bar, and then got in the car. "Brother Yan, go back to the hospital!" When ¡¡¡¡ got in the car, Xia Yu didn''t hide it anymore. He looked a little ugly and said, he felt that his stomach was constantly rolling, and he was not used to it. Ps: The recommended votes are only over 1200 chapters, which is about 800 or so from 2000. It is estimated that we will not be able to complete the goal today, but we must not let everyone down. Then, the time limit is cancelled, and the two thousand votes will be added! Chapter 88: 1 corner of the truth in the world That big glass of whiskey was really uncomfortable, but he had to finish it, because this was the last rule. No matter who is there, as long as they are required to do business, they must drink up some whiskey, otherwise they will be considered an insult to them, and the matter will not be handled. After all, in their concept, Scotch whisky is known as the water of life, which is their pride. "Which **** decides the rules of the dog day!" Xia Yu murmured with a sullen expression. "But there is no way, only they can help me." Xia Yu said inwardly. Just now, Xia Yu didn''t just give one hundred Hong Kong dollars. In the middle of the Hong Kong dollars, there was also a bank card with one million Hong Kong dollars and a note. The bank card is a deposit given in advance, and the note says Xia Yu¡¯s request. originally did not need as much as one million, but Xia Yu''s requirements are very strict. In order to let them do as much as possible, Xia Yu doesn''t care about the money anymore. In order to avenge Xia Lei and eliminate his own crisis, what is this little money! On the note, Xia Yu wrote three requirements. The first is to find out all the details of the Ma family; the second is to ask the Ma family¡¯s movements in the last week, especially the leaders of the Ma family, Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, 24 hours monitoring, and Xia Yu must be notified in time if there are major situations; The third is to investigate why Interpol came to Xiangjiang and whether it has anything to do with the Ma family. Each of these three requirements is very difficult, otherwise Xia Yu would not have prepared so much money. Although it is difficult, Xia Yu still believes in their strength. If in Xiangjiang, apart from the CIA, KGB, MI6, and National Security, who else has the ability to find out everything about the Ma family, they are only SD. Because SD definitely came to Xiangjiang earlier than Ma¡¯s. SD, the abbreviation of the English letter shadow, which means shadow, shadow. SD is an organization that specializes in intelligence transactions. It has existed for at least three hundred years. It has been the top force in the intelligence community until the 21st century. In Xia Yu''s memory, many people knew about this organization and knew the details of this organization. Why countries in the world allow this organization to always exist? It is also because this organization only conducts intelligence transactions and does not accept any assassination missions, and it also has the support of major European families. In the European and American world where capital controls the government, capitalists need this organization to exist, so no country will eliminate it. After all, it is thankless. The most important thing is that the SD organization is too strict, and there is no one other than Campbell. This organization has always been controlled by the Campbell family of England. And the Campbell family, there is also a very dazzling title, that is the Duke of Argyll! The top three great Duke of the British Duke! The Duke of Argyll is the hereditary aristocracy of the United Kingdom, and the representative of the will of the Queen of England in Scotland, a firm royalist party, and the title belongs to the Campbell family. The Duke of Argyll is also the leader of the Campbell tribe with an important position in the history of Scotland, leading more than 3 million Campbells around the world, and is responsible for managing family property. Once, the Campbell family also supported two high-ranking British kings, and the duke¡¯s title was also obtained at that time. In the United Kingdom, the Campbell family can be said to be the top big family, even if it ranks top in Europe, and it is still developing rapidly. In the 21st century, the Campbell family has at least 80 billion U.S. dollars in assets. Even in 1978, the family''s total assets were at least 30 billion U.S. dollars. He was one of the shareholders of HSBC Holdings in the UK and also a shareholder of Royal Bank of Scotland. However, the cross-shareholding through complicated shadow companies was not exposed. These materials are not reported in later generations, but they are real. If it hadn''t been learned from the memories of those who stood at the top of the world in Xia Yu''s mind, Xia Yu would never believe that such a family that hadn''t heard of it in a previous life was so powerful. However, this is the real world. What ordinary people understand is only a small part of the most superficial part of the world. Just like the Internet, the Internet that ordinary people are familiar with in the entire world accounts for only 4%, and the unknown dark web accounts for only 4%. Ninety-six percent! If it were not for the disappearance of Zhang Yinyin that caused a public sensation in China, how many people would know the existence of the dark web? How do you know that the world will be so dark? So, what we know and recognize is only what others want us to know. Except for a small number of things that are actually contacted and understood, most of the worldview comes from the news media. But think about it, the right to speak is ultimately in the hands of the upper-level figures. Six US companies control 90% of the US media. I want to know! Not much gossip, let¡¯s talk about the SD organization. The SD organization was established at the time of the rise of the United Kingdom and prospered at the time of its heyday. This organization has always been supported by major families in the United Kingdom as a check and balance with the government-controlled MI6. is to worry that one day a certain government will want to overthrow the rule of the Queen of England and major families. At the same time, to better monitor the territories of the Commonwealth. After hundreds of years of development, SD has spread all over the world, especially in the Commonwealth. Long ago, the SD organization had a resounding slogan: wherever the glory of the British Empire shines, there will be their shadows! From this slogan, you can see the energy of the SD organization! And Xiangjiang is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, so SD exists of course. And the SD organization definitely existed since Hong Kong was occupied by the British! Calculating this way, the time of existence definitely exceeds the time that the Ma family has existed in Xiangjiang. According to the habits of SD in the memories of those big brothers, SD has definitely touched Xiangjiang upright and monitored Xiangjiang at any time. How could the major forces not have complete information about the Ma family? It is very likely that neither the CIA nor the KGB may have more detailed information than them. After all, years and months have been deposited there, and the information decades ago cannot be easily found. As for real-time monitoring of intelligence, although it is difficult, it is not difficult for SD. After all, considering the identity of the Duke of Argyll, SD is equivalent to a British semi-official intelligence organization, and many top spy instruments can be obtained. , I don¡¯t know when Ma¡¯s satellite surveillance was installed. Thinking about the existence of SD again, I don''t know how many dark lines have been developed. Maybe the servants who have been in Majia for decades are their non-staff personnel. Who knows all this except for the people in SD itself? Of course, the information Xia Yu bought doesn''t need Xia Yu to get it personally. He left an address on the note to collect paper information. Similarly, Xia Yu also left a phone number. Within the time frame of purchasing the service, if there is special information, he will call Xia Yu as soon as possible. Xia Yu has been very thorough, and only hopes that the result of the investigation will be what he thinks! Ps: There are still more than five hundred photos short. Everyone, please work harder and you can reach it tomorrow! Chapter 89: Tai Chi There was no accident along the way, Xia Yu returned to the Chunqiu Medical Center. In order to avoid the worry of his parents, Xia Yu made a phone call to the family and told them to close the doors and windows tightly so as not to let outsiders in, and he would not go back tonight if there was something outside. After returning, due to the complexity of the matter, even though Xia Jun asked Xia Yu what he was going to do, Xia Yu didn''t elaborate, but roughly told Xia Jun that he was going to buy information to find a helper. Seeing Xia Yu and didn''t want to say more, Xia Jun didn''t ask any more. One night, Xia Yu didn''t go anywhere, so he stayed with Xia Lei in the ward, and several people took turns to watch the night. By the middle of the night, Xia Lei finally woke up. Xia Yu hurriedly called Li Chunqiu. After Li Chunqiu checked, and fed Xia Lei with ginseng soup, he let the weak Xia Lei go back to sleep again. Seeing Xia Lei awake, Xia Yu and other talents felt relieved a lot. At around six in the morning, Xia Yu woke up in a daze. He went to the toilet, but saw that Li Chunqiu had already gotten up and was playing Tai Chi in the yard. His movements were very elegant and flowing, making people look pleasing. Xia Yu just remembered that when Li Chunqiu was cleaning up the punks, his actions really looked like Tai Chi, but when did Tai Chi become so powerful? Just then, Li Chunqiu finished a lap. He stood up with a smile of Hexi on his face. He stroked his white long beard and looked at Xia Yu and said, "Xia Sheng, you are up, why don''t you sleep more?" "Some can''t sleep." Xia Yu said with a grin. "Don''t worry too much, your brother woke up last night, now as long as he rests at ease, he will soon get better." Li Chunqiu comforted, then he changed the subject again and asked Xia Yu. "Xia Sheng, your physique is so much worse than your brother, do you want to learn Tai Chi with me, to strengthen your body, and to nourish your health." Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and took a look at Li Chunqiu, but he didn''t expect him to ask him to teach Tai Chi. Xia Yu became curious, he was really interested in Chinese martial arts. It¡¯s just that what I knew in my previous life was all garish, especially the so-called sensationalist "Tai Chi Lei Lei" made a joke that made Xia Yu disappointed. But Xia Yu always believed in his heart that Chinese Kungfu did exist, but for various reasons, there were problems in the inheritance, and there were more and more scammers, which led to others in later generations to sneer when they mention Kungfu. But Li Chunqiu''s Kung Fu Xia Yu has been seen with his own eyes, and he can never be faked. Now Li Chunqiu wants to teach him Tai Chi, he really wants to learn and see what mysteries are. "Then thank Dr. Li, and ask Dr. Li to teach!" Xia Yu bowed respectfully and said. Li Chunqiu smiled and nodded, then put on a posture of starting hands, and slowly said: "Come on, learn the movements from me first." ¡­¡­ Then, there was a harmonious scene in the yard. Li Chunqiu was slowly practicing Tai Chi, and from time to time he reminded Xia Yu to help Xia Yu correct his posture. Xia Yu studied very seriously, and Li Chunqiu was very satisfied with his attitude, and he taught more seriously. One of them studied seriously and the other taught seriously. Time flies quickly. Soon Yan Shining and Xia Jun also woke up and saw Xia Yu seriously playing Tai Chi with Li Chunqiu. The two did not bother, and they watched quietly from the side. Finally, Xia Yu stood with Li Chunqiu to regain his power. He exhaled a long breath, feeling refreshed all over, with a relaxed expression on his face unknowingly. "How do you feel?" Li Chunqiu asked with a smile. "I feel refreshed and full of vitality." Xia Yu answered truthfully. Li Chunqiu smiled at his beard, looked at Xia Yu with admiration, and then said: "The effect of this kind of training is average. Only when you cooperate with breathing exercises can the real effect be true." Breathing! Xia Yu''s eyes brightened, and he looked at Li Chunqiu scorchingly. Is there such a thing? Yan Shining, who was standing not far away, also heard Li Chunqiu''s words. He looked at Li Chunqiu in surprise, but he didn''t think he would talk to Xia Yu. He was wondering what Li Chunqiu''s calculations were. After all, he had a family history of breathing techniques, and he had learned it. It was precisely because of the learning that he had the necessary kung fu, so his fighting ability was so strong. But this is the inheritance of a family, unless it is very close people, otherwise it will not be passed down. But Li Chunqiu is now taking the initiative to bring it up with Xia Yu, which is worth pondering. But he is not easy to say anything, anyway, learning is good for the boss Xia Yu. He continued to look down. "Master Li, is there such a magical thing?" Xia Yu asked quickly, changing directly from Doctor Li to Master Li. He didn''t feel any embarrassment. "Haha, it''s actually a law of action, not as magical as you think. There is no such kind of martial arts as written in Jin Yong''s novels." Li Chunqiu obviously guessed what Xia Yu was thinking, and said. Not waiting for Xia Yu to be disappointed, he said again: "But there are still some effects. After years of practice, you can live for at least ten or eight years. He is healthy and resistant to all diseases." "You have to learn, and I will teach you next time when I have time." Xia Yu, who was hesitant to speak, heard Li Chunqiu''s last words and looked at him in surprise, and found that Li Chunqiu was just looking at him with a smile, not like a joke. Xia Yu has a lot of thoughts, isn''t this something that is generally not spread? Why did Li Chunqiu easily agree? This is too good for him, right? But after thinking about it, Xia Yu couldn''t guess why Li Chunqiu did this, but Xia Yu could feel that Li Chunqiu was really not malicious to him. Xia Yu, who couldn''t figure it out, could only resist the doubts in his heart. Regardless of his situation, it is good to eat it first, and if there is a situation in the future, he will act accordingly. "Thank you Master Li, then!" Xia Yu said gratefully, and in order to show respect and gratitude, he also bowed. Li Chunqiu didn''t refuse, he smiled and nodded, then glanced at Xia Yu with admiration, and said, "It''s getting late, I''ll open the door first." Li Chunqiu left the yard after speaking. ¡­¡­ At 8:30 in the morning, Xia Yu had just finished breakfast, and when he came to the ward, he found Xia Lei opened his eyes. "Leizi, you are awake!" Xia Yu was very surprised, and quickly came to the hospital bed to look at him. "A Yu, you can be fine!" Xia Lei said with a weak voice with a smile. Speaking of Xia Lei, he still wanted to get up. "Don''t get up, the wound is easy to crack, you can lie down." Seeing Xia Lei about to get up, Xia Yu quickly held him down and said. "Huh!" Xia Lei nodded slightly, giving up the idea of ??getting up. "Wait first, I will bring you the porridge. If you are hungry all night, you must be hungry." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he hurriedly removed from the ward, and soon came in with Xia Jun carrying porridge. "Leizi, you finally woke up!" Xia Jun also looked at Xia Lei in surprise. Xia Lei didn''t have any strength, didn''t speak much, and nodded towards Xia Jun. Even so, Xia Jun was relieved. "Come on Have some porridge first!" ¡­¡­ Because of his weakness, Xia Lei drank a bowl of porridge for ten minutes before drinking it. "A Yu, Brother Jun, was it last night, what happened in the end?" After drinking porridge to fill his stomach, Xia Lei had some energy, and he asked. "Big Brother Yan beat them all away, and killed a few. The killer was thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Other conditions are still being investigated." Xia Yu said before Xia Jun. Hearing Xia Yu say this, Xia Jun was a little confused, but seeing Xia Yu motioning to Xia Lei, he immediately understood and nodded in agreement with Xia Yu''s statement. He also understands Xia Yu''s concerns. Now Xia Lei has just woke up, there is no need to let him know about the Ma family. If he knows it, he will not be able to help. "That''s good, but you must find out who is behind it. If you know, I will get rid of him." Xia Lei said excitedly. "Ahem..." "Leizi, don''t get excited, I have already checked, and I will tell you as soon as I find it!" Seeing Xia Lei coughing because he was too excited, Xia Yu was moved inwardly, and he quickly spoke. Xia Lei smiled reluctantly and didn''t say more. "You take a good rest first, and if you feel uncomfortable, tell us in time." Seeing Xia Lei was very tired, Xia Yu said quickly. Xia Lei nodded slightly. He was indeed very tired. Because of the loss of a lot of blood, his energy was indeed insufficient and he was very sleepy. Now that Xia Yu and Xia Jun were fine, he was more at ease, closed his eyes and rested. Ps: There is still less than 300 votes. If it arrives before tomorrow morning, it will be added at noon tomorrow, and the three chapters will be sent together. So, everyone, hehehe! Chapter 90: Dangerous drift After staying in the ward for a while, Xia Yu and Xia Jun left the ward lightly. "Ayu, don''t you need to go to the company? I called my boss just now and asked for a day off. I just need to take care of Leizi here. If you have something to do, go ahead." Outside, Xia Jun said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, he didn''t even notice when Xia Jun asked for leave. He thought for a while. It¡¯s not safe to go outside during this time, and he also needs someone to take care of Xia Lei. Xia Jun wants to go to work. On the contrary, he is more free and more convenient to take care of Xia Lei. So he plans to take care of Xia Lei for a while. Stay in the Chunqiu Medical Center to take care of Xia Lei. But if you decide so, you still have to go to the company to explain things clearly, and let Yan Wenhan take charge of the company''s affairs for a while, so that he can be more at ease. Thinking of this, Xia Yu said: "Then I will go to the company first, and I will come back after I have explained the matter. You will take care of some mines first." "Well, you go, pay attention to safety on the road!" Xia Jun nodded and said. Then, Xia Yu asked Li Chunqiu again, and then took Yan Shining to the company. Soon, Xia Yu came to the company. At this time, the company was already at work. Xia Yu found Yan Wenhan and explained that he had something to do in the past few days, so that Yan Wenhan can handle everything by himself. If he encounters something that he can¡¯t decide. Just call, the phone number is for the Spring and Autumn Medical Center. After explaining all the affairs to Yan Wenhan, Xia Yu left the company with confidence. Next, Xia Yu did not return to the Spring and Autumn Medical Center immediately. He was going to the Kowloon Stock Exchange to find Liu Tianci. Not only was he thanking him for his help last night, which gave him peace of mind, but also to talk to him about stocks. The car started again, and it didn''t take long to arrive at the Kowloon Stock Exchange. "Xia Sheng, good morning, there was nothing wrong with last night?" When he saw Xia Yu, Liu Tianci asked with concern. Xia Yu smiled, shook his head and said, "No, thank you, everything is fine." "By the way, I have something to do in the past few days, and I may not be here anymore, and the company may not be there. If you have something to do, call this phone." After speaking, Xia Yu took out paper and pen and wrote the number of the Spring and Autumn Medical Hall to Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci took it over and looked at it and put it in his pocket solemnly. "By the way, Liu Sheng, I have to trouble you when you sell out the stocks of Dafa Real Estate, then all the money will be put into my bank account. You deducted the one million from last night, and you will notify you after the money is raised. I can do it," Xia Yu said. Liu Tianci nodded and smiled: "Don''t worry, it''s all wrapped up in me." "I have something to do, so I will leave first, see you next time!" After speaking, Xia Yu was about to leave the Kowloon Stock Exchange. "Be careful!" Liu Tianci looked at Xia Yu sincerely, and said seriously. Although Xia Yu kept saying that it was okay, but he gave the number, he didn''t come to the exchange, and he didn''t go to the company. How could Liu Tianci not be able to tell things so clearly that something serious must have happened. Otherwise, Xia Yu won''t be able to get away. Although he and Xia Yu are very good friends, since Xia Yu doesn''t say anything, there is reason for Xia Yu. He can only hope that Xia Yu is fine. Xia Yu smiled, nodded towards Liu Tianci, and then left the exchange without looking back. "Let''s go, Brother Yan, return to the Spring and Autumn Medical Clinic!" Xia Yu said after getting in the car. Then, the car started again and drove in the direction of the Chunqiu Medical Center. After explaining the matter, he can feel more at ease. Xia Yu sighed for a long time, sat in the car, closed his eyes, and started to think. Just as he was passing by an intersection and turning, Xia Yu opened his eyes and looked out the window, suddenly excited. just because he saw a truck on the side road rushing towards him at high speed. Someone wants to kill him! Xia Yu reacted instantly, because he saw that the driver who drove the truck had a firm face, and he could not see any panic at all, it was definitely planned for a long time! But now it happens to be a crossroad. Many vehicles are turning and the road is a bit congested. Xia Yu''s car is difficult to avoid. Moreover, other vehicles found this deadly truck and fled in panic with the steering wheel. The entire intersection became chaotic all at once, and the situation was very critical! "The boss is seated!" Not only Xia Yu found out, Yan Shining who drove found out earlier than Xia Yu. Along the way, even though he drove the car, Yan Shining was very vigilant. It can be said that he was watching six roads and listening to all directions, paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times. Although it is very difficult to avoid, Yan Shining was very calm, gritted his teeth and grabbed the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator to accelerate and rush towards a car. The owner of that car thought that Xia Yu''s car was about to hit. He also hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the sidewalk nearby, trying to avoid it. Xia Yu grasped the safety handle tightly, and he gave all hope to Yan Shining. In the current situation, there is no other way except hope that Yan Shining will rush out. It is better to hit another car than to be hit by a large truck. After being hit by an extremely fast truck, he was absolutely dead. Seeing Xia Yu''s car was about to run, the driver of the big truck also turned the steering wheel, trying to adjust the direction and crashed into Xia Yu''s car. Now Xia Yu was 100% sure, and it was definitely someone who wanted to kill him. And, as expected, it is the Ma family! Xia Yu''s heart was burning with anger, his eyes flickered, and his hatred for Ma''s reached a peak! But, the premise for revenge is to leave here alive! almost hit! At this time, Yan Shining had already stepped on the accelerator pedal to the bottom, Xia Yu''s Mercedes-Benz engine made a harsh roar, and the car rushed towards the flowerbed on the roadside. However, it seems that it is still too late. The big truck still has to hit the back half of the car. Seeing that he was about to hit him, Xia Yu could see the sullen expression of the truck driver, and he didn''t know how much the Ma family had to pay to make him attack Xia Yu at the cost of his life. At this moment, Yan Shining suddenly turned the steering wheel very fast, and at the same time released the accelerator and stepped on the brakes, Xia Yu''s Mercedes-Benz''s tail suddenly slammed to the side. Flick and drift! "àÍàÍàÍ......" Although the windows of the car were closed, Xia Yu heard the sound of violent friction between the tires and the ground while resisting the centrifugal force. Through the glass, Xia Yu also clearly saw the large truck hitting another car against Xia Yu''s car. "boom¡­¡­" A violent crash sounded. It was the large truck that hit the car next to it, and because it was too fast, it did not stop even after a collision and continued to hit other vehicles. UU Reading Xia Yu couldn''t help but look back through the rear glass of the car. Several cars were hit and deformed in their eyes. The most serious of them rolled over for a few laps. The people inside almost couldn''t survive. Furthermore, Xia Yu also saw a car whose body was dented by more than half. Through the window, Xia Yu could clearly see the passengers in the car with their eyes closed with blood on their heads. "Guru..." Xia Yu couldn''t help swallowing. He touched his forehead, only to realize that his face was full of sweat, and then he felt wet on his back. is too dangerous! If it weren¡¯t for Yan Shining¡¯s last flick, the big truck would have hit Xia Yu¡¯s car, and the hit location was definitely Xia Yu¡¯s position. Taking into account the conditions of other cars, Xia Yu would have died forever! "Brother Yan, thank you very much for saving me again!" Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully. "Yes, boss, let''s leave here first, it''s not safe here!" Yan Shining said calmly. "Well, don''t go the same way, copy other paths, for fear that there will be an ambush in the back!" Xia Yu quickly agreed with Yan Shining''s idea. This road is the road Xia Yu often walks, and I pass by here every day. Now I can ambush on the road Xia Yu often walks. It is difficult to guarantee that I will not set up a second ambush on the next section of the road. It is safer to copy the other way back. "The boss is seated!" After speaking, Yan Shining started the car again. As for the scene, there must be a traffic policeman coming over soon. Xia Yu''s car was not hit, and there were enough vehicles involved in the accident, and there was no accident in Xia Yu''s car. Ps: Two chapters and five thousand words are done today, ask for a recommendation ticket, it will be over two thousand immediately, and tomorrow will be three at noon! Chapter 91: Solve the worries Returning to the Chunqiu Medical Center again, Xia Jun saw obvious scratches and slight collision marks on Xia Yu''s car, which were hit by Yan Shining while evading while driving. After all, there are too many cars at that intersection. It would be good to be able to escape. It is impossible not to scratch and bump a bit. Even if Yan Shining''s driving skills are amazing without hitting the flower bed and other vehicles. Xia Jun asked with concern: "A Yu, what''s the matter?" "On the road, a large truck was about to hit me. As expected, it was Ma''s handwriting!" Xia Yu said with a gloomy face, and he did not hide this from Xia Jun. Xia Jun frowned. He didn''t expect that Xia Yu would be in danger as soon as he went out. It was obvious that Xia Yu had been spotted. Xia Jun glanced around, he suspected that there was a surveillance person nearby, but it was a pity that he could not be spotted so easily. "A Yu, then you try to go elsewhere these days, even if you want to do things, you must avoid their sight and hide yourself." Xia Jun solemnly said. "I know this, but now I am more worried about my parents and Xiao Ming Xiaomei. If the Ma family finds that they can''t deal with me, it''s not good to say whether they will go to my family for trouble!" Xia Yu said with a solemn expression. As he said, since the Ma family has activated the means to kill him, the enmity has been forged, and he will never die. If the Ma family failed to kill him again and again, using the Ma family''s methods, it is likely to find trouble with his family and force him to show up. Xia Yu would definitely go crazy at that time! But he doesn''t dare to go home now. He is the first goal of the Ma family. Going home now is likely to bring the danger home, and Xia Lei also has to take care of him. Instead, staying in the Spring and Autumn Medical Center is the safest! "This is how to do?" Hearing Xia Yu''s guess, Xia Jun also panicked, his face full of anxiety. "Boss, you can find someone to protect your family at your house." Yan Shining on the side said. "But the problem is that I can''t find anyone to protect my family!" Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining and said with a sigh. As Xia Yu said, he really couldn''t find anyone to protect his family. Now there is no security company in Xiangjiang. Where did he go to find a bodyguard. If he hadn''t met Yan Shining, he still didn''t know where his own bodyguard was. Except for professional bodyguards, he does not know any other people, has no contacts, and the flaws of lack of foundation are exposed at this moment! "Boss, you can''t find it, but you can ask Dr. Li, especially Dr. Li''s son Li Wuyang, he is definitely someone, it depends on whether he is willing to help!" Yan Shining suggested. He still remembers Li Wuyang calling someone last night. Although he didn''t understand him well, he probably knew that Li Wuyang was calling someone. And when he got to the back, he also obviously felt that someone was watching near the medical hall. It should be the person Li Wuyang called. This showed that Li Wuyang had his own power! Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining abruptly, and found that Yan Shining¡¯s expression was very serious, and it did not seem to be a lie, so Yan Shining must have discovered something. But Xia Yu doesn¡¯t need to ask more, as long as he knows that there is someone in the Chunqiu Medical Center. Li Chunqiu helped him several times and wanted to teach him to practice martial arts this morning. It was definitely a great kindness towards him. There are people in the Chunqiu Medical Center, and if Xia Yu asks for it, it is really possible to succeed. It¡¯s not too late, make arrangements for your parents early, and be at ease early! "I will go now!" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu hurried to find Li Chunqiu. ¡­¡­ "no problem!" After listening to Xia Yu¡¯s request, Li Chunqiu agreed without hesitation, and then said to his son Li Wuyang in Xia Yu¡¯s surprised expression: ¡°Wuyang, you go find a few disciples who can fight and are assured. Protect Xia Sheng''s family." "Okay, father!" Li Wuyang nodded blankly, and after a glance at Xia Yu, he got up and went out. Looking at Li Wuyang''s back, Xia Yu felt a little expectant, clenched his fists and took a deep breath, and thanked Li Chunqiu, "Thank you, Master Li!" "Please don''t take it to heart." "You wait here, my son will bring someone over soon, I''ll go and treat Yan Hong first." After finishing speaking, Li Chunqiu left and went to Yanhong''s ward. Yan Shining also followed Xia Yu''s orders and asked him to stay with Yanhong for a while. "A Yu, it seems that Master Li''s house is not easy!" When he and Xia Yu were all around, Xia Jun said to Xia Yu with a solemn expression. Xia Yu nodded and agreed with him, and said softly: "It''s okay, as long as there is no malicious intent to us, everything else is not important, I will always understand it later." Xia Jun nodded, agreeing with Xia Yu''s statement. In fact, Xia Yu said so, but he was thinking about the peculiarities of Li Chunqiu¡¯s family. Now it seems that Li Chunqiu is becoming more and more difficult. Not only does he have amazing medical skills, but he also looks at and knows kung fu. His son Li Wuyang has disciples. I don''t know if more will be exposed in the future! But Xia Yu was even more sure of one thing, that is, Li Chunqiu really did not have any malicious intent towards him. Although he didn''t know why he was so good to him, Xia Yu didn''t think about it. There is no unreasonable love in the world. Li Chunqiu will help him several times and it is definitely for him. But this seems to him to be normal. Being alive, it is a good thing to have the value of being used by others. If you don¡¯t even have the qualifications to be remembered ~ www.novelhall.com ~ prove that you are already a waste, then living is a waste of food! Regardless of Li Chunqiu''s plans, Xia Yu remembered his kindness! As long as it is not for his life or very harmful to his interests, Xia Yu will definitely meet his requirements. The grace of dripping water, repay the spring! What''s more, his help to Xia Yu is definitely to give charcoal in the snow, and more than once, it is impossible for Xia Yu not to return it. Just how to pay it back, just wait for Li Chunqiu to take the initiative to mention it, Xia Yu''s primary task is to become strong as soon as possible, so that it is possible to have enough strength when Li Chunqiu makes demands afterwards! ¡­¡­ Before long, Li Wuyang brought four very strong young people over and asked them to wait for Xia Yu''s dispatch. Xia Yu told them in detail several times, and when he saw their faces nodding resolutely, he was relieved, and then gave them the home address and the pass voucher to let them go to Xia Yu''s home. After they set off, Xia Yu also called home, told his parents about this, asked them to arrange a room for them, and stayed at home for a while to protect their safety. Xia Yu also specifically told his parents be careful. This time, it has become so obvious that people are going to protect the safety of their parents. Xia Yu also knows that he can''t hide his parents, so he can only tell them that he has some trouble outside and will not go back in the next few days. , Let them take care of themselves. After ¡¡¡¡ told again, Xia Yu hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you, Brother Li!" Xia Yu solemnly thanked Li Wuyang. "No thanks," Li Wuyang said with a faint smile. ¡­¡­ Chapter 92: arson The next day, both Xia Yu and Xia Jun stayed at the Chunqiu Medical Center to take care of Xia Lei. In the next few days, they will also stay at the Chunqiu Medical Center. Fortunately, the backyard of the Spring and Autumn Medical Hall is indeed big enough, with many rooms, enough for Xia Yu and Xia Jun to live in. In the evening, Xia Yu and Yan Shining went out again. Because of preparations and pre-concealment, there were no accidents when going out this time. When he came back, Xia Yu already had an additional information bag in his hand, which contained the information Xia Yu bought. After getting the information back, Xia Yu looked at it quickly. Even Xia Jun and Yan Shining followed, after all, there is indeed a lot of information. As time went by, constantly browsing the information, Xia Yu''s expression became more and more serious, and the evil spirit on his face became stronger and stronger. The Ma family is very strong, and the same bad things they have done are countless. The history of the rise of the Ma family is made in blood. Many things that have not been known in the past few decades are related to the Ma family. At least hundreds of people died directly in the hands of the Ma family, and those who died because of the Ma family It is not a minority. Think about the laundry detergent sold by Ma''s family again, I don''t know how many people have been killed by Ma''s family! "This Ma family shouldn''t exist in this world!" Seeing these information, the **** Xia Jun couldn''t help it at all, his face flushed with anger, gritted his teeth and said. "Yes, the Ma family should be destroyed!" Yan Shining also hated. After all, he is a soldier. The belief of the army is to defend the family and the country. For an inhumane family like the Ma family, his idea is to directly let them evaporate from the world, and they are not worthy to live in this world! "Don''t worry, they won''t be arrogant for long!" Xia Yu''s face was cold and cold, his eyes flickered. Because of this information, in addition to the detailed information of the Ma family, there are also other information. You must know that Xia Yu had written three requirements at the time. The Ma¡¯s information was only the first, and there were second and third. The second piece of real-time information about Ma''s family is also available, but there is not much information. After all, the time of the day is still too rushed. But even though there is not much information, Xia Yu still felt refreshed, just because the newspaper stated that Ma''s family is preparing for a laundry detergent deal, and Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen are personally responsible. It''s only a pity that the specific information, such as manpower, transaction direction, transaction location, storage location, transportation route, and other important information are not yet available. I just told Xia Yu, which is under urgent investigation. Xia Yu also understands, but he still looks forward to SD not to let him down. After all, SD''s intelligence detection and collection capabilities are the best he can access. If SD can''t find out, then Xia Yu is really powerless. ! Of course, Xia Yu¡¯s third requirement is whether the purpose of Interpol¡¯s haunting in Xiangjiang is related to the Ma¡¯s family. SD also provided intelligence on this requirement. It may be because there are also people dispatched by the United Kingdom within Interpol, and SD is also a semi-official intelligence organization in the United Kingdom. The background is to penetrate the entire British political and military circles. Therefore, there is more intelligence about Interpol''s movements. Interpol is indeed investigating a huge cross-border laundry detergent transaction case. Ma¡¯s family is a very important part of it. Now some of the people who come to Xiangjiang are in charge of the operations team leader named Allen. The main purpose is For the arrest of Ma¡¯s family and the joint person, the transaction chain outside of Xiangjiang is responsible for others. Seeing this information, the three of Xia Yu were very happy. After all, the Ma family was targeted, and it was such a behemoth as Interpol, and it would definitely not end well. It''s just that Xia Yu thinks more than Yan Shining and Xia Jun are optimistic. After all, in their previous lives, Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen both escaped. They were not caught by Interpol and fled to Taiwan Province. You don¡¯t have to think about Xia Yu to know that Interpol¡¯s actions were not successful. Something must have gone wrong in the middle! Only this time, Xia Yu would never want to see Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen run away. They must be caught, so as to interrupt the Ma family¡¯s backbone and make Ma family chaos, Xia Yu can be better. If you retaliate against the Ma family, there will be no worries! Otherwise, if Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen escape, even if one escapes, the power of the Ma family will not disperse and can be commanded by remote control. If Xia Yu wants to retaliate, they will all have to throw a rat, and it is even known that Xia Yu has fallen into trouble. He will definitely take revenge on Xia Yu frantically. At that time, he was in trouble! After all, I am always remembered by thieves, like a thorny back! "This kind of thing must never happen, the Ma family must be destroyed!" Xia Yu''s eyes were cold and he clenched his fists and thought to himself. "I only hope that SD can provide powerful information next!" ¡­¡­ It was in the middle of the night, when Xia Yu was still asleep, he was woken up by Yan Shining. When the phone came, Yan Wenhan was looking for Xia Yu anxiously. Hearing Yan Shining''s words, Xia Yu was awakened in an instant, and quickly turned over to answer the phone. In the middle of the night, Yan Wenhan called. It was definitely something that happened to the company that made him have to call, which made Xia Yu''s heart up. "This is Xia Yu, is there anything urgent?" Xia Yu picked up the phone and said quickly. "¡­¡­" Hearing what Yan Wenhan reported on the other end of the phone, Xia Yu''s face was gloomy, and his fists clenched unconsciously. "Is nothing wrong now? Are there any casualties?" Xia Yu asked immediately. "¡­¡­" "Okay, it doesn''t matter. If there are not enough newspapers tomorrow, the staff is fine. You should remember to report to the police, so that you can be safer, and be more vigilant these days. When I am not in the company, you have to comfort the employees of the company. That''s it!..." After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu gritted his teeth and raged, and his hatred for the Ma family skyrocketed again. This is endless! On the phone just now, Yan Wenhan told Xia Yu that the company¡¯s printing plant was on fire. Fortunately, because the sales volume of "Jiuding Daily" was too large, the printing plant had to print overnight, so when it caught fire, employees were printing newspapers and they discovered the fire in time. , Join forces to put out the fire. It¡¯s a pity that hundreds of thousands of printed newspapers were burned, and some other things were also burned. Fortunately, no one was injured. The person who set the fire ran away after setting it off. It is estimated that there are still people working overtime. After the printing plant caught fire, the employees tried to contact Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan went to the printing plant overnight to appease the employees, then redeployed the work, and finally went to the company''s premises for inspection and called after finding that there was no problem. Report to Xia Yu and report to Xia Yu. This time the fire was set on fire. You don''t need to guess that it was the Ma family. Xia Yu didn''t have to suspect other people. Xia Yu is sure that the Ma family absolutely knows that he is in the Chunqiu Medical Center. Although I don''t know why the Ma family dare not come to the Chunqiu Medical Center to trouble him, Xia Yu is too lazy to bother his brain. And the Ma¡¯s did not have a burning company location, probably because it is in a downtown area, it is difficult to start, and there are other businesses nearby. While the printing factory is located in other remote places, the burn will not have much impact, but it can cause major problems for the "Jiuding Daily". Before the printing factory is found again, the "Jiuding Daily" will not sell. Fortunately, it was discovered by the staff in time, and the Ma family did not fully succeed. Although it would definitely have an impact, Xia Yu couldn''t take care of that much. Now the first task is to kill the Ma family, otherwise it will be useless to make more money. It is very likely that you will have your life and you will not spend! "Boss, do you want to go to the company?" Yan Shining asked with concern. "No, Yan Wenhan is already in charge, so leave it to him. Go back to sleep first!" Xia Yu shook his head and said. Seeing that Xia Yu had already decided, Yan Shining didn''t persuade him much. just lay on the bed again, but Xia Yu couldn''t sleep peacefully, looking at the ceiling, secretly anxious. "I hope that SD will provide favorable information soon. Now the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for me. Staying in the Spring and Autumn Medical Center, the Ma family can''t deal with me. He has already started to think about other places. If I deal with my family again, it will be true. Is in trouble..." Chapter 93: finally come Early the next morning, Xia Yu got up very early, and played Tai Chi with Li Chunqiu again for a while. Unfortunately, Li Chunqiu did not teach him the so-called breathing method this time, which made Xia Yu a little disappointed. But Xia Yu didn''t urge it either. After all, it was Li Chunqiu''s thing. When Li Chunqiu wanted to teach him, he would naturally give it to him. Today, Xia Jun and Xia Yu told him that he was going to the police station. Xia Yu did not stop him, but asked Xia Jun to pay attention to safety and contact him frequently. I have to say that Li Chunqiu''s medical skills are indeed very good. After a day of recuperation, Xia Lei''s improvement has improved a lot, making Xia Yu more relieved. And Yan Hong''s body has been recuperated, her appearance is very good, and her cheeks are very ruddy. Li Chunqiu also told Yan Shining that he started treating lung cancer today, which made Yan Shining happy for a long time. In the morning, Xia Yu also read other newspapers, and the incident of the arson of the Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s printing plant was also exposed, which caused a great sensation. The press was talking about who did it, and many of them subconsciously thought It was the Ma family because the Ma family had the greatest motivation. What other people can think of, the police can also think about it. After receiving the report from Jiuding Newspaper, they went out to investigate overnight. Unfortunately, the investigation did not find any results overnight, but Xia Yu didn''t care. He asked Yan Wenhan to call the police. There is only one purpose, and that is to allow the company to be focused on by the police during this time, so as to be safer and avoid accidents. That''s how the morning passed. In the afternoon, Xia Yu asked Yan Shining to get information again. This time the information made Xia Yu feel refreshed! Because this time there is key information! Ma''s family plans to trade laundry detergent tonight, and Interpol and the Hong Kong police are preparing to take action tonight to arrest Ma Xiru, Ma Xizhen and others on the spot, to catch thieves and stolen goods! Regarding the specific situation of Ma''s washing powder trade, SD organization also gave some information, which is the specific information of Ma''s washing powder trade. Only in the end, the SD organization may have analyzed the problem and reminded Xia Yu that there is a member of the Ma family in the police, and who has not been found out yet, but this plan is likely to have been leaked to the Ma family, so this time the plan The accuracy needs to be verified! Of course, it seems to reflect the attitude of their organization, and finally stated that Xia Yu will be notified by phone if there is an update. They are doing their best to investigate the Ma family¡¯s specific transaction route and the Ma family¡¯s hidden child in the police. "I hope we must find out!" Xia Yu said in anticipation, and became nervous. Interpol will take action tonight. Although according to the circumstances of the previous life, the arrest failed in this operation, the Ma family will also keep a low profile. It is estimated that they dare not blatantly ask Xia Yu''s troubles. Xia Yu''s crisis may also be lifted. But this is not what Xia Yu wants! There is only one thing he wants, and that is the complete disappearance of the Ma family! At this moment, Xia Yu wanted to have an intelligence organization comparable to KGB and FBI in his hands, and he would not be as nervous as it is now. He can only hope for the SD organization! "If you have a chance in the future, you must do your best to build your own armed forces!" Xia Yu secretly made up his mind. ¡­¡­ Xia Yu thought that this action was Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, but it was probably Ma Chengkun who had been targeting him. If Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen were arrested in the end, the Ma family would get news. Others will definitely hide, which is not what Xia Yu wants. Xia Yu had a good plan to kill the rest of the Ma family when Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen were arrested or when they absconded. Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining, his eyes lit up and asked, "Brother Yan, is the gun you picked up still still?" "It''s still there, I put it up, boss, do you want it?" Yan Shining said, and then got up to get a gun in the room. "No need to get it!" Xia Yu hurriedly stopped him. "How many bullets are there?" Xia Yu asked again. "There were still 15 bullets in the original magazine, and in the arms of the killer, I also found a magazine with 20 bullets in it, for a total of 35 bullets." Yan Shining replied immediately. All were checked by him. "enough!" "Brother Yan, tonight, if there are circumstances, can you let you kill some people?" Xia Yu asked. "No problem, boss, who do you want to kill?" Yan Shining nodded without hesitation. He knew that what Xia Yu asked him to kill was definitely his enemy, and it should be a member of the Ma family. For the Ma family, Yan Shining also hated them, and he would never object to killing them. "It''s a member of the Ma family, but you have to wait for information on how to act. If the time is right, I will ask you!" Xia Yu said. "Wrap it on me!" Yan Shining said, patting his chest. "Ok!" ¡­¡­ Xia Yu stayed by the phone for the rest of the time, waiting for the SD organization to provide information again. In the evening, Xia Jun also came to the hospital. Xia Yu estimated that Xia Jun might not be able to participate in tonight''s operation. As time goes by, watching the sky get darker and getting closer and closer to the time for Interpol and the Hong Kong police to take action, but the SD organization still has no intelligence. Xia Yu became anxious. During this period of time, Xia Yu also asked Yan Shining to go out to obtain information from a specific place before, but found that there was no information, which also disappointed Xia Yu. "Tick! Tick!" Xia Yu looked at the time on the watch from time to time, feeling very anxious inside. Xia Jun and Yan Shining who probably knew the situation also became anxious. Soon, the time came to nine o''clock in the evening. It is estimated that the Ma family will start to act at this time! Xia Yu couldn''t sit still at all, the matter was of great importance, and he kept praying in his heart. at this time-- "Ring Ling Ling..." A harsh phone ring rang, but to Xia Yu, it was the most beautiful voice in the world. Hope is a call from the SD organization! Xia Yu quickly answered the phone. "Hey¡­¡­" Seeing the joy on Xia Yu¡¯s face, Xia Jun and Yan Shining also breathed a sigh of relief. They held their breath and did not dare to disturb Xia Yu, for fear that Xia Yu didn¡¯t hear clearly etc. Hang up, Xia Yu quickly took out the paper and pen to write quickly, and soon Xia Yu finished writing. Then, Xia Yu hurriedly handed over to Xia Jun and exhorted: "Brother Jun, hand it to you. Now the Interpol has begun to dispatch, the Ma family is actually setting off smoke bombs, and it is the Ma family that is written here. The real route and the place of the transaction, you must quickly hand over to Interpol, bring your police card, and be sure to convince them not to let the Ma family run away!" "Brother Jun, one of the rapes of the Ma family in the police has been found, and the name is on it. It is unclear whether there is anyone else, but it is certain that there is absolutely no Ma family inside Interpol. For safety, you must The intelligence must be handed over to Interpol." "Big Brother Yan, you drive to Brother Jun, please!" "By the way, Brother Yan, have you clearly remembered the picture of the Ma family¡¯s house? You have also seen the photos of the main characters of the Ma family. After the military brother is sure to hand over the information to Interpol, you will lurking in Ma Near home, wait for an hour, and then find a chance to kill all the main characters in the Ma family!" Xia Yu explained all the plans in one go. Xia Jun and Yan Shining nodded, and then Xia Jun took the information tightly. "I beg you!" Xia Yu said solemnly again. Xia Jun and Yan Shining nodded solemnly. The time was urgent, and they didn''t say much. Yan Shining grabbed the gun and ran outside quickly with Xia Jun. Xia Yu looked at their backs, clenched his fists tightly, eyes full of expectation. must succeed! solves this trouble, then he can truly develop his career with confidence! Ps: The third one is sent, ask for recommendation votes! Chapter 94: Catch At an intersection, Xia Jun waited anxiously, looking around from time to time. And Yan Shining parked the car farther away, and did not go with Xia Jun. After all, he drove Xia Yu''s car out, and if the police noticed it would cause Xia Yu trouble. At this moment, Xia Jun heard the roar of cars coming from a distance, and the number of voices was quite a lot. He refreshed and stared at the direction of the sound. Soon, Xia Jun saw some ordinary cars coming by. They were not police cars. If they didn''t know the information, Xia Jun would not have thought that they were police. "This is the license plate, that''s right!" Xia Jun saw that the license plate number of a car was exactly the same as Xia Yu wrote. He took a deep breath, and then rushed to the middle of the road to block the car when the car was about to arrive. "Stop, I want to report an emergency!" Xia Jun shouted loudly, and at the same time took out his police card in his hand, facing the approaching vehicle. He couldn''t open his eyes at all under the light of the car''s high beam, but he resisted the discomfort of his eyes. "àÍàÍ¡­¡­" The car braked suddenly, and then the door opened, a few people jumped out of the car and quickly alerted, and then another person rushed to subdue Xia Jun, and then began a body search. Xia Jun didn''t have any resistance, and kept saying in English: "I am a policeman. I have important intelligence reports. Take me to see Officer Allen!" Police Officer Allen is the head of Interpol in Hong Kong, who is responsible for tonight¡¯s operations. Several people holding Xia Jun looked at each other. One of them grabbed the police card in Xia Jun''s hand and opened it, confirming his identity, but still did not let him go, but grabbed him and got into the car. As soon as he got on the car, Xia Jun saw the person he wanted to meet. He had seen a photo of him before, and it was Officer Allen. "Sergeant Allen, I have an important report..." Xia Jun reported immediately, and also stated his identity. Fortunately, there was a police officer in the car who happened to know Xia Jun and proved Xia Jun¡¯s identity. "Head, the time for the plan is almost here!" A foreigner next to him reminded him as Allen was meditating. "Sergeant Allen, I promise with my life that my information is absolutely true. The Ma family has an insider in the Xiangjiang Police Station, Liu Feng. Your plan has been leaked out. Now the place you are going is fake. of!" "Look, the intelligence comes from here!" Xia Jun said anxiously, trying to persuade Alan, and at the same time pointed to the SD wine bottle logo on the note. Seeing this sign, Alan''s face became solemn, and his heart was struggling fiercely. He didn''t know whether he should believe the unknown person Xia Jun. But being able to know their plan proved that their plan was indeed leaked, at least Xia Jun knew it. And Xia Jun pointed out that the intelligence came from the SD organization, and this organization happened to know that the intelligence gathering ability was very powerful. Now that Xia Jun was able to intercept their vehicles on the road, it proved the credibility of this information, and also pointed out the name of the insider in the Xiangjiang Police Department. Everything led him to believe that Xia Jun''s intelligence was true. But the plan has already been arranged. If the plan is changed temporarily, the risk is too high. If Xia Jun''s intelligence is false, he will be caught. "Officer Allen, I am in your hands, it is impossible to bet with my life!" Xia Jun spoke again, his face full of anxiety. Allen took a deep breath, took a deep look at Xia Jun, then turned to look at the other subordinates and said: "Plan change, Rose, you take half of the people to act according to the original plan, and the rest will leave with me!" The person who called Rose nodded. Now that Allen has decided, he immediately executed it, jumped out of the car and led the others. Seeing that Alan was finally convinced by himself, Xia Jun''s face was happy, and the task Xia Yu gave him was completed! Soon, the convoy split into two roads and went to two locations to ambush. Seeing the changes in the team, Yan Shining in the distance also let out a sigh, knowing that Xia Jun succeeded, then it''s up to him next. ¡­¡­ It may be that he was worried that there is still a **** inside the Xiangjiang police. Allen did not immediately pass the information he obtained to the Xiangjiang police, but chose to act first. If the original plan execution location is really fake, then because Ross is leading the team, and knowing the location of the intelligence given by Xia Jun, he can immediately return to help. Compared with the unfamiliar Xiangjiang policeman, Allen still believes in himself! ¡­¡­ Soon, Ross took the operatives to meet with the Xiangjiang police according to the original plan. The Xiangjiang police led the team by Zhao Zhengfeng, the director of the operations department. "Captain Ross, why didn''t you see Sheriff Allen? And there are so many fewer people?" Zhao Zhengfeng asked when he saw that the number of people Ross had brought was obviously wrong, and he didn''t see Allen who he was more familiar with. "Ellen has encountered something and will come over later. By the way, I suggest you go back and check a person named Liu Feng in your intelligence department." Ross explained briefly. Zhao Zhengfeng''s brows clenched. The police''s intuition made him feel that Rose was telling a lie. He was thinking about it, wondering if Alan had discovered something. But now it¡¯s important to implement the plan The rest can only be asked later. As for Liu Feng of the Intelligence Section that Ross said, he also keeps it in his heart. If the plan really changes tonight, then he will go back. Definitely check Liu Feng carefully. "Captain Ross, time is urgent, first deploy according to plan..." After Zhao Zhengfeng and Ross discussed, the two parties immediately scattered and hid in other places on the dock. Time passes by every minute... A roar of cars remembered at the silent dock, Zhao Zhengfeng quickly picked up the telescope and looked over. Just by this look, Zhao Zhengfeng''s brows frowned, because among the people who came down one after another from the cars, he didn''t see Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen. The situation and the information he received were completely different. And, after waiting for a while, the person who connected it did not show up! At this time, he immediately thought of what Rose said to him just now, and then thought of Alan, who has not yet appeared, his face became gloomy! It is really possible that there are rapes in the police station, they are played as monkeys! But Zhao Zhengfeng still has a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as the washing powder is found from this group of people, then his face will be better, otherwise, in front of Interpol, his face will be lost! "Do it!" Zhao Zhengfeng immediately gave the hands-on instructions. Whether it is true or false, it will be detrimental to them. If the smoke bombs here are really smoke bombs, then you can understand him earlier or go to support Ellen earlier. Maybe you can still meet Marcy. Like them. Following Zhao Zhengfeng''s instructions, the police hiding in the surroundings moved quickly and surrounded from all sides, holding guns at the people who got off the car. "Raise your hand, I am a policeman!" ¡­¡­ Chapter 95: Sin bargain With heavily armed police pouring out from all directions, the people who got out of several vehicles did not resist, and directly raised their hands to surrender and were subdued by the police. At the same time, several police officers immediately started searching. They did not make Zhao Zhengfeng happy, but their expressions became gloomy. "Sir Zhao, what''s the matter, let''s just come out to blow the air at night, so we won''t catch us?" One of the leaders wearing a gold chain apparently knew Zhao Zhengfeng. His face didn''t panic at all, but he looked aggrieved. Said. It''s just that Zhao Zhengfeng''s words sounded very harsh, and there was nowhere to release the anger in his heart. But Zhao Zhengfeng has no time to chat with him now, he only cares whether his subordinates can find washing powder from the car. It''s a pity, the reality is cruel! After a while, several subordinates turned a few cars upside down, and nothing was revealed, not even a controlled tool. "Sir Zhao, we really came out to blow the air, and I didn''t break the law. Now it''s enough to imprison us like this? Can your police arrest us law-abiding citizens at will?" The leader wearing the gold chain shouted grievances with a full face, but the looming smile on his face made Zhao Zhengfeng want to punch him. "Yeah, yeah, police officer, we are all good citizens who abide by the law, you can''t treat us like this!" "That''s right..." Several younger brothers who smelled green dragon and white tiger tattoos also called injustice, and the police around them were very angry. "Shut up, Sein Fei, if you are a good person, then the whole Xiangjiang will not have a good person. One more thing, I will make you suffer!" Zhao Zhengfeng was already irritated and provoked by Sein Fei, he could no longer bear it. Kicked directly on his stomach. He has seen this Song Fei several times. He is a capable man of the Ma family. He has been in a few rounds, but was released because of insufficient evidence. "Hmm!" Song Fei snorted and licked his lips. He was not afraid of being surrounded by police officers and being pointed at by guns. He didn''t enter the police station less, and he hadn''t seen any big scenes, how could he be scared! "Sir Zhao, Feng Shui takes turns, maybe one day I will come to my house, and I will still stay a line for work!" Sein Fei grinned and said with a sneer. After being beaten by Zhao Zhengfeng, he simply stopped pretending. "Where did Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen go?" Zhao Zhengfeng grabbed Song Fei by the collar and stared at him scorchingly. "I don''t know about that." Song Fei tilted his head and rolled Zhao Zhengfeng, then his eyelids drooped and said lightly. "Humph!" Zhao Zhengfeng let go of Song Fei''s collar with a cold snort, and did not pay attention to him. He had already determined that there was no way to get clues or evidence from Song Fei. I still hurried to find Ma Xiru now. Now I am chatting with Song Fei and the others instead of their way, maybe I want to delay his time. "Captain Ross, please take me to Sheriff Allen''s side immediately!" Zhao Zhengfeng said to Ross immediately. He was already certain that Ellen and the others should have received other news and went directly to ambush in other places. Now that it is obviously a smoke bomb, then it is very likely that Ellen is the right place to trade. "Zhao, come with me!" Ross nodded. He didn''t want to waste time here. "Tian Wei, your team will stay optimistic about them, and the others will follow me!" Zhao Zhengfeng said to the other men. Immediately after finishing speaking, he took action and ignored Song Fei and the others. And after Song Fei saw Zhao Zhengfeng''s attitude, he immediately woke up and realized that it was not good. It is very likely that the boss Marcy and them were discovered. He immediately struggled to get up, but immediately received a punch from the policeman holding him. "Squat honestly!" Seeing other policemen pointing their guns at them, Song Fei could only calm down and watched Zhao Zhengfeng and Rose leave quickly. He could only pray in his heart that the correct plan was not discovered by Zhao Zhengfeng and the others. ¡­¡­ "Captain Ross, please tell me where they are, Chief Allen!" In the car, Zhao Zhengfeng asked Ross quickly with a serious face. This time, Rose didn''t hide it. After all, he had discovered that it was a smoke bomb. In his heart, he was also thankful that Allen believed in Xia Jun''s intelligence and promptly split the manpower to another location. It''s just that now he must go to meet Alan quickly, in case Alan suffers a loss. "We received secret information, the trading location of Ma Xiru''s group is..." Ross quickly told Zhao Zhengfeng of the information. Zhao Zhengfeng was very angry. He was angry that there were traitors in the police station, but also a little angry that Ross, they did not immediately tell him the information. But his reason told him that if he knew that there was an insider in Interpol, he would choose to conceal information first for the sake of safety. The most urgent thing is to meet Ellen and the others! Zhao Zhengfeng A group of policemen rushed towards another real location. ¡­¡­ On the other side, Alan led some people in ambush at another dock. When Zhao Zhengfeng started to move, he also found a group of people appearing on the dock. UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM And to his delight, the two figures of the target mission Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen appeared in this group, which made him very excited. Soon, he saw the buyer¡¯s boat of the joint also appeared in sight. A group of people jumped off the boat with suitcases and met Ma Xiru and them. ¡­¡­ "Boss Wu, I didn''t expect you to be here!" Ma Xiru shook hands with the buyer''s boss Wu, and smiled. Boss Wu, one of the leaders of a large underground power in northern Taiwan Province, is their main business of washing powder trading. "I didn''t expect it to be the white pink horse and the golden horse together. I am deeply honored!" Boss Wu looked at Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, and he smiled with his dark teeth. "No way, the note was tight some time ago, and if you don''t come out to breathe, your brothers will have no food to eat." Ma Xiru said helplessly. "Haha, what can you do with the paper? Isn''t it just being played around by you?" Boss Wu glanced at the boxes that Ma Xiru was carrying behind, and laughed. "Haha!" Ma Xiru laughed, feeling a little smug in his heart. It is estimated that the police are all attracted by his smoke bombs. For this operation, he took a lot of effort to arrange. "The time is urgent, or do you complete the transaction earlier and bring the money?" Ma Xiru said to Boss Wu. "Bring it, where are the things?" Boss Wu said with a narrow smile. As his words fell, the men behind shook the suitcases in their hands. "It''s all here, the amount is absolutely enough, your amount is too big, I also took a lot of effort to get it, 20 boxes, 50 catties each, a total of one ton!" "Send someone to inspect the goods!" Ma Xiru said. Chapter 96: Fierce battle "Gu Zi, Fan Zi, you two go to inspect the goods!" Wu boss said to the two horses behind him. Then only two horses walked to Ma Xiru''s side, and Ma Xiru also ordered to proceed to open the box. Boss Wu stared at the movement of his hand, saw Ma Zi dip some powder in his mouth to taste, then turned his head and nodded at him, his heart let go. "Fat Dragon, Dali, go check your money!" Ma Xiru also sent two horses to Wu boss. Boss Wu also motioned to open the suitcase one by one, revealing a neat pile of cash inside, asking them to verify the quantity and authenticity. For a while, the scene calmed down, and everyone increased their vigilance, paying attention to the surroundings and the other side. ¡­¡­ Because they were so far apart, Allen didn¡¯t know what they were talking about, but soon, he saw Ma Xiru and they took out boxes one by one, and then opened them one by one, revealing the bags of white powder in the box. Like things. is washing powder! Through the binoculars, Alan clearly recognized that it was washing powder, and there were twenty boxes containing washing powder. According to his experience, at least one ton of weight was definitely a shocking case! Alan nervously held his breath unknowingly, staring at their deal. People on both sides are very vigilant, many of their subordinates are holding guns, and they are always vigilant about the surrounding situation, and they are also vigilant about the other party to prevent the other party from eating black. "hit!" has confirmed that they are in the washing powder transaction, and the most important inspection link, Alan knew that he could not wait any longer. Even though he has a little manpower, he did not hesitate. He directly ordered to shoot, first to be the best, and at the same time to disrupt their positions. If they can be mistaken for the other party to want to eat the black and fight, then It could not be better. And they have too few manpower to expect to catch all of them, so killing some of them is the best choice! "boom!" "boom!" ¡­¡­ With a gunshot from Allen, he hit one of Ma Xiru''s men. The vigilant buyers and sellers quickly closed the boxes and escaped like frightened birds. "Ma Xiru, you want to eat black!" Boss Wu thought it was Ma Xiru who moved his hand. He was furious and fired directly at Ma Xiru and the others, and at the same time retreated towards the boats parked on the dock. ''S men also hurriedly closed the suitcase with the cash and hurried back, but the two people who came to check the cash were directly killed by Ma Xiru. Ma Xiru also thought at first that the other party wanted to eat black, after all, he had already used smoke bombs to divert the police away. But when he heard the gunshots, he immediately hid, and at the same time, he realized that it was not the other party''s ambush. Then, there are only third parties! I don¡¯t know if it is the police or other forces! Soon, Ma Xiru saw the policeman when they were hiding, and he shouted: "Boss Wu, stop, it''s a note!" Boss Wu also reacted and quickly ordered his subordinates to stop firing at Ma Xiru''s gang, and pointed the gun at the police. "Second, have you been shot?" Hidden behind a pillar, Ma Xiru saw Ma Xizhen leaning on the pillar with his arm, his face pale, and the sweat kept rolling down, he asked hurriedly. Ma Xizhen endured the pain, nodded, and said with difficulty: "Boss, get out quickly, now listening to the gunshots, there are not many police officers, kill them!" "Boss Wu, join hands to kill the sliver, otherwise no one can run away!" Ma Xiru leaned his back against the wall. Shouted to boss Wu. "Okay!" Boss Wu, who wanted to get on the boat several times but was beaten by bullets, was also very annoyed and immediately agreed. "Do it!" "boom!" "boom!" "boom!" ¡­¡­ Following the order from Mr. Wu, the members of the Wu and Ma family immediately worked together to suppress Allen''s side with vitality. "Hans! Jack!" Seeing his two team members were hit and fell, Allen''s face was bruised, and his heart was full of grief and anger! "Head, we don''t have enough manpower!" shot down an enemy again not far from Allen''s men, glanced at his side, and found that the team members were suppressed and it was difficult to appear. He was very anxious and shouted at Allen. "Hold on, trust Rose!" Allen yelled and fired again. "boom!" It''s a pity that although Allen''s personnel are fully armed, they are still too few. The total number of Ma''s and Wu bosses is at least forty, and almost all of them carry guns. Although the strength of individual soldiers is not as good as that of Interpols such as Allen, the number advantage is more prominent in places with more shelters like the dock. The situation is very unfavorable for Allen and them! ¡­¡­ At the same time, on the road some distance away from the pier, Zhao Zhengfeng and others rushed forward Zhao Zhengfeng and Rose''s expressions changed when they heard dense gunfire from a distance. "Drive faster!" Zhao Zhengfeng urged towards the driver, and then the speed of the car increased again. "Hurry up!" Rose gripped the pistol tightly in his hand, and the bullet was loaded, muttering anxiously in his heart. ¡­¡­ Soon, the roar of the car engine became clearer and clearer to the ears of the people in the gunfight at the dock, and the faces of all the people present changed. It''s just that the people of Allen are happy, and the two brothers of Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen are instantly dignified, because they can be sure that they have no help, so the person who came is definitely from the police. But Boss Wu is completely unclear whether it is a policeman or a Ma family. "Boss Wu, Tiaozi''s reinforcements are here, rush out, and stay here until late!" Ma Xiru shouted loudly at Mr. Wu. To have a greater chance of escape, the two parties must act together to disperse the firepower of the police. "The **** Ma Xiru, I was so miserable by you!" Hearing Ma Xiru''s words, Boss Wu''s face was jet-black, and he saw his brother fall down and shouted angrily. He had obviously forgotten that he had touted Ma Xiru for playing the police around! "Get out, one who can run is one!" Boss Wu was also determined and gave the order directly. He knew that it could not be delayed any longer. When the police''s reinforcements arrive, the advantage of the number of manpower will be lost, and the quality of individual soldiers is definitely not the opponent of the police, and a group of them must be here. "Increase the firepower, don''t let them run, hold on!" Seeing that they wanted to run, Alan was a little anxious and quickly ordered. Victory has already tilted towards them As long as Ross and Zhao Zhengfeng arrive, this battle victory will definitely belong to them! Soon, the vehicles of Zhao Zhengfeng and others rushed into the pier and stopped. Then all the doors of the vehicles opened quickly, and the police quickly got out of the vehicle and entered the fighting state, surrounded by the direction of Ma Xiru and others. "boom!" "boom!" "boom!" ¡­¡­ As Zhao Zhengfeng and others joined the battle, the balance tilted instantly, and many younger brothers were directly killed. And Ma Xiru had already fled by the pier with his brother Ma Xizhen. "Boss, you put me down, no one can escape with me, leaving the green hills without worrying about firewood, run!" Ma Xizhen was also cruel. She gritted her teeth, endured the pain and pushed Ma Xiru away, yelled at him, and then took her gun to hide. "Go away, boss, you and I both die here, and the Ma family is over! Go!" Seeing elder brother Ma Xiru struggling very much, Ma Xizhen said decisively. "Second, take care!" Ma Xi nodded with tears in his eyes, and then ran away quickly with a gun. Although the heart is like a knife, he also knows that the Ma family is more important, and with the injured Ma Xizhen, it is difficult for them to escape the siege. If they both fall today, then the rest of the Ma family is absolutely dangerous! Not only the police will arrest them, but other forces on the road will also deal with him. His Ma family has not been without enemies for so many years, and there are many forces who want their Ma family''s territory and resources for profit. Ps: Thank you Lv Tianxia for your reward before 9764. No drafts were made yesterday, so I will add more today. Ps: The three changes are over today, ask for a recommendation! Chapter 97: wipe out "Don''t let them run away!" Zhao Zhengfeng roared and took the lead in the pursuit. Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen played a trick tonight, and he was embarrassed in front of Interpol. Zhao Zhengfeng was already very angry. The best way to clear the shame is to arrest Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen or kill him. Will these two big fishes be allowed to escape? What''s more, since I have come to capture Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, and have injured one of them, and killed so many of them, the action must be successful. Otherwise, the enmity has already been settled. If they run away, he will be in danger in the future, so you have to beware of Ma''s revenge. Therefore, whether for credit or for their own safety, Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen were either brought to justice tonight or killed on the spot. He didn''t want to see the third situation arise! With the participation of Zhao Zhengfeng and Rose and others, the Ma family, Wu boss and others suffered heavy losses in an instant. Wu boss tried to get on the boat several times to no avail, and the man on the boat was also shot to death. Seeing that the hope of escape is growing. The younger, Boss Wu is like an ant on a hot pot. "boom!" "Boss!" With a shot, Boss Wu who had just appeared to fight back was hit by a bullet and fell directly, accompanied by the screams of his loyal men next to him. "bump!" Boss Wu fell heavily on the ground and made a noise. He opened his eyes wide, his lips moved lightly, but he couldn''t say anything. "The boss is dead, get out!" The tree fell and fell away. As the boss Wu was killed, his few remaining subordinates were completely panicked, but the more panicked they were, the easier it was to expose them. They were hit by bullets and fell to the ground one after another. After a while, only sporadic gunshots remained on the dock until it disappeared completely. Soon, all the police officers touched vigilantly and arrested the undead enemies one by one, and the killed were dragged out and concentrated. "Head, everyone is here!" A subordinate reported to Zhao Zhengfenghui. "Washing powder and money have also been found!" Zhao Zhengfeng nodded, then gestured to Allen and walked over together. He didn''t take care of the neatly opened box on the side. Instead, he walked towards the captured crowd with a sneer. He had already seen Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, both targets were here, but Ma Xizhen was obviously dead. Seeing Ma Xiru, who was coughing up blood, holding Ma Xizhen and refusing to let go, Zhao Zhengfeng walked over and sneered: "Ma Xiru, you still haven''t escaped from my palm!" Ma Xiru, immersed in sorrow, raised his head and glanced at the proud Zhao Zhengfeng, his face was calm, but his eyes were full of sadness: "The winner, the loser, cough cough...cough cough..." "Take everyone away!" With a wave of his hand, Zhao Zhengfeng directly ordered his subordinates to put everyone in the car. He also sent the injured to the hospital for treatment, especially Ma Xiru. Although Ma Xiru is extremely sinful, the living Ma Xiru and the dead Ma Xiru, of course, the living Ma Xiru can bring him greater credit, so it is impossible for him to let Ma Xiru bleed and die. ¡­¡­ After everyone got in the car, Zhao Zhengfeng shook hands with Allen, and said with emotion: "Captain Allen, this is our mistake. I will never let go of the rape. Thanks to you, otherwise... hey... " "Zhao, in fact, I can get information because of a policeman in your bureau. It was the information he told me. You have to reward him. Look, it''s him, he is the hero!" Allen did not take credit for himself, but said truthfully, pointing to Xia Jun sitting in the co-pilot. Zhao Zhengfeng looked at the co-pilot carefully and found that the person sitting was a young yellow man, not a foreigner. "Are you?" Zhao Zhengfeng asked suspiciously. "Chao Zhao, I am a new police officer from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Bureau. My name is Xia Jun..." Xia Jun turned his head and saluted Zhao Zhengfeng. He also recognized Zhao Zhengfeng, the director of the operations department. ¡­¡­ Let''s talk about Yan Shining''s side. After Xia Jun was taken away, he set off to ambush near Ma''s house. As soon as he arrived near the Ma family¡¯s house, Yan Shining discovered that the Ma family¡¯s security was very tight. Not only were there people guarding each passage, but there were also subordinates patrolling around. It was very difficult to sneak in without being spotted. And if he is discovered, it is easy to be trapped alone. Although his ability is not bad, there is still danger. After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention that it is not a hand, but a gun. Yan Shining hides in a hidden place, constantly looking for opportunities like a poisonous snake. Soon, he realized that an opportunity had come. One of the two guards left at the closest alert point. He did not hesitate and touched it directly, covering his mouth before he could react. , And then wiped his neck with a dagger. Then when Yan Shining felt that he was out of breath, he dragged to the corner, leaning against the wall and waiting for the person who had just gone out. , after all, is not a professionally trained soldier, the alertness of the person who just went out is still too bad in Yan Shining''s view. Then, Yan Shining followed suit and killed him silently. After finishing this, in order to hurry up and complete the plan before the patrol personnel arrive, Yan Shining did not stop and directly touched the core residence of the Ma family in the middle. Yan Shining did not go to the gate, because he found that there was a guard at the gate, he had no chance to kill the two guards without being found, so he could only start from behind. came to the back window, Yan Shining looked inside secretly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but then he took a closer look again, his thick eyebrows frowned slightly. Ma Chengkun and his younger brother Ma Chengcai were found inside. The two of them were there. As for Ma Chengfa, Ma Tingqiang and other important targets, Yan Shining did not see them. Originally, Yan Shining wanted to get rid of all the targets and solve all the trouble for the boss Xia Yu. But it seems that this is impossible now! But it doesn¡¯t matter, the main one, Ma Chengkun, is here, and there is also one of his younger brothers. There are two in the second generation of the Ma family. As long as these two are killed, the Ma family will be in chaos! And if the other side''s plan is successful and Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen are also killed or captured, then even if Ma Chengfa and others are still there, it will be difficult to support them. It''s not too late, do it! Yan Shining took the gun directly to aim, then pulled the trigger, and fired several shots quickly. "boom!" "boom!" ¡­¡­ Immediately afterwards, Yan Shining saw that the bullet hit the unsuspecting Ma Chengkun''s head accurately, and Ma Chengcai was ready to escape when Ma Chengkun was shot, and the first bullet hit his head. The scalp flies over. It''s a pity that he escaped the first bullet but not the second one. The bullet still hit his head from the side. It is estimated that the gods are also difficult to save These few shots have just finished. Yan Shining did not stay at all, turned around and returned to the original road. He wanted to escape quickly because these shots had already awakened everyone in the entire villa. "boom!" "boom!" ¡­¡­ In the process of fleeing, the guards who were close to him spotted him, but before he could act, he was shot and killed by Yan Shining. When other people in the distance arrived, they could only see Yan Shining''s departure from a distance, but it was too late to pursue him. At the same time, a sad cry came from the villa, causing everyone to rush away involuntarily. Unfortunately, what they saw was indeed fallen in a pool of blood, and Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai, who were obviously dead. The bullet hit the head and his breathing has stopped, so he can declare death without having to rescue him, because it is 100% hopeless! Everyone felt flustered, because the second generation of the Ma family directly died of the two most important people. If Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen come back, they will definitely go crazy. These guards will definitely not please! ¡­¡­ There were also some people near Ma¡¯s family. They realized that they were wrong when they heard the gunfire. The gunfire stopped soon. After a while, they saw a large group of Ma¡¯s men coming from outside. I searched around the house, obviously looking for someone. This situation gave them an idea, and then desperately to inquire, and soon learned the news, Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai, the second generation of the Ma family, were sneaked in and killed with guns! This news is too big! News is like a virus, spreading rapidly. Everyone on the road is paying close attention to everything about the Ma family, only to find that the Ma family''s site is clearly more heavily guarded than before, and it is obviously guarding against other people''s attacks. Chapter 98: "Oriental Daily" ceases publication This strange reaction made other powers on the road, such as the Digital Pile, a little unintelligible, but it didn¡¯t take long for them to be shocked by the dark line inside the police station, Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, the two Ma family members. Optimus Prime was caught dead and caught by the police in the laundry detergent deal! The sky in the Ma''s family has fallen! Everyone is aware of this. Then I think that Ma Chengkun, the second-generation leader of the Ma family, and the important figure Ma Chengcai have also fallen, leaving only one Ma Chengfa and Ma Tingqiang, the youngest son of Ma Chengkun, there is no danger at all! The Ma family is sure to fall, and there is no chance to get up again, and other forces will not allow them to stand up again. The opportunity is here! Hands are fast and hands are slow! All the forces around the Ma family seemed to have agreed with them, they quickly dispatched and rushed toward the Ma family''s sphere of influence. At the same time, he hurriedly disseminated the details of the Ma family¡¯s accident as much as possible to dispel the resistance of the Ma family forces and reduce losses in order to seize the territory. Soon, the Ma¡¯s site fell into chaos. As for some people who had a life and death feud with the Ma family, but had been enduring no revenge, and realized that this was a golden opportunity, they immediately gathered their hands and rushed towards the Ma family¡¯s villa. They want to let the Ma family die out. The four largest ones have already died, and two small ones are left. Then the family must go neatly and neatly before they are satisfied! The actions of these people are also seen by other forces that have little antagonism with the Ma family, but they did not stop them in the slightest. After all, they robbed the Ma family''s territory, and they became enemies with the Ma family. Now someone is willing to help them eliminate the danger. If it is too late for them to be grateful, how can they stop it? What''s more, they also sent people to join in, and make sure to let the Ma family die! Everything is happening towards the situation Xia Yu hopes to see. ¡­¡­ In the Chunqiu Medical Center, Xia Yu has been sitting, looking at the time on his watch from time to time. As time goes by, Xia Yu keeps estimating that his heart is very complicated, anxious, and hopeful. Finally, when he saw Yan Shining coming back, Xia Yu stood up abruptly and quickly greeted him and asked, "Big Brother Yan, what''s the situation?" "Boss, Ma Chengkun and his brother Ma Chengcai have been killed, but unfortunately they didn''t see Ma Chengfa and Ma Tingqiang and failed to complete the task." Yan Shining said with some regret. "Haha, it''s okay, Brother Yan, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Yu showed joy on his face and pulled Yan Shining into the house. Of course, Xia Yu couldn''t help but feel a little regret that he didn''t kill all of the Ma family. But regrets are fleeting. After all, he has been mentally prepared for a long time. He also knows that the Ma family are not so stupid and all gather together waiting to be killed. Now he can get rid of Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai to his satisfaction. "Ring Ling Ling..." Just then, the phone rang suddenly, and Xia Yu hurriedly walked over to connect. "¡­¡­" "Hahahaha!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu couldn''t help the joy on his face anymore, and laughed. "Ma Xiru was arrested, Ma Xizhen was killed on the spot, and the Ma family was also in chaos, the Ma family was over!" Seeing Yan Shining''s some doubts, Xia Yu said quickly, he couldn''t help but want to share the good news with others. "Congratulations boss!" Yan Shining also showed a smile and congratulated Xia Yu. Xia Yu heaved a sigh of relief. These days, he has been living with trepidation. Now the Ma family is not like the previous life, and Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen have no chance to escape to Taiwan again! I don¡¯t know why, in addition to the pleasure of revenge on them, Xia Yu also developed a sense of accomplishment that changed his destiny. The destiny of the Ma family was influenced and Xia Yu felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. In the past, the Ma family had a lot of laundry detergent. I don¡¯t know how many people died because of their family¡¯s destruction. Unfortunately, they escaped the Interpol¡¯s arrest and escaped to Taiwan Province. After a few years, the Ma family was active again, Ma Chengkun¡¯s son. Ma Tingqiang even married Li Zi, and his life was so unpleasant! In this life, the Ma family has no such fate. God did not open his eyes in the previous life. In this life, Xia Yu has come to help God open his eyes! Soon, Xia Yu came to Xia Lei''s ward and found that Xia Lei was not asleep. He couldn''t help but said to Xia Lei: "Leizi, tell you good news, the Ma family is doomed to fall..." Xia Yu also said that Yan Shining helped to assassinate Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai. He didn''t conceal this news from Xia Lei. After all, Xia Jun also knew that it was not good to hide it from Xia Lei. "Really?" Xia Lei''s face was joyful, and when he saw Xia Yu nodding seriously, he couldn''t help but laugh, and his heart was very cheerful. "Thank you, Brother Yan, for helping me take revenge!" Xia Lei solemnly thanked Yan Shining. "Yes, the boss asked me to do this." Yan Shining was a little uncomfortable and pushed the credit to Xia Yu. just push it no matter how much it can¡¯t be pushed because he personally killed Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai. In the middle of the night, Xia Yu got the news again that Ma Chengfa and Na Tingqiang were also killed by the society. So far all the men in the Ma family died. The SD organization also informed Xia Yu that the target disappeared and the mission was forced to end. The Ma family is completely finished! Xia Yu is completely relieved! ¡­¡­ After the next day, the Royal Hong Kong Police Department held a press conference. The Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, attended the press conference in person. The press conference announced the major results of the operation last night. In cooperation with Interpol, it uncovered a major smuggling case of washing powder, and announced the death of the "Golden Horse" Ma Xizhen and the arrest of the "White Powder Horse" Ma Xiru. and also announced that Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai had died in a community vendetta, and other members absconded in fear of crime, and the police officially ordered the arrest of other members of the Ma family. Of course, what the Xiangjiang Police Department has not had time to find is that Ma Chengfa and Ma Tingqiang were thrown into the sea to feed fish last night. The various forces joined forces like crocodiles to carve up the horse family. How can they not completely eliminate the danger? Regarding the "Oriental Daily", a medium used to spread the washing powder trade, the police department also produced evidence that had been prepared long ago, and sealed the "Oriental Daily" and cancelled the issue of the "Oriental Daily." From now on, "Oriental Daily" no longer exists! I had the evidence before, but I have never started to seize the "Oriental Daily" because I was afraid that the snake would be surprised by the grass. Now that the snake has been caught, the weeds can be cut without scruples. This press conference was broadcast live on several major TV stations at the same time, and it immediately spread throughout Xiangjiang, causing a huge sensation. The community has known this news a long time ago, and they have shrunk to be wary of the Royal Police of the Xiangjiang River asking for their troubles, and also know that Interpol is also in Xiangjiang, and the leaders of various organizations have ordered to bow their heads during this time. Especially those associations that trade in washing powder immediately stopped preparing for the transaction and made up their minds that they did not intend to act again before the Interpol left Xiangjiang, for fear of being targeted, and then disappeared like the Ma family. Ordinary people clapped their hands when they saw this news. And there is another industry that also shakes up, and that is the press. I didn''t expect that "Oriental Daily" was still the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong a month ago, but in less than a month, it was directly suspended, and the issue number was cancelled, and it ceased to exist! "Sing Tao Daily" Hu Xian laughed when he saw the news, tears kept streaming down, and yelled ¡®retribution¡¯! Many people involuntarily thought of "Jiuding Daily", a newspaper that had a deep grievance with "Oriental Daily", and thought of the arson of the "Jiuding Daily" printing factory the day before. Everyone felt horrified. It feels that the Ma¡¯s accident and "Jiuding Daily" cannot escape the relationship, but they can''t figure out how Xia Yu can start. Of course, there are naturally many people who know that Xia Yu was attacked by a killer, and think of Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengcai being shot. This makes them feel sad, and they are very suspicious of the unknown insider. Early this morning, Xia Yu was also called by the police to request an investigation. Xia Yu was also very cooperative. Because there is no evidence that Xia Yu is related to the Ma family, and considering that Xia Yu is the owner of the "Jiuding Daily", there is no need to offend him for a fallen Ma family, and Xia Yu¡¯s printing factory was The fire was not resolved by Xia Yu after calling the police, and the police were a little lacking in confidence. So in the end, the question is not over Nothing is asked. When Xia Yu came to the company again, everyone cheered. Yan Wenhan and other management also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn¡¯t know where Xia Yu was these days, they also knew that the company was offending people. If there is an accident, it should be the "Oriental Daily". But considering the background of the "Oriental Daily", there is no way to retaliate, which made the company feel suffocated. I didn¡¯t expect to see the news today announcing that the Ma¡¯s family had fallen, and the "Oriental Daily" was also completely suspended. Everyone couldn''t help but cheer. Seeing the company''s weather, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. PS: Since I don''t like watching this kind of plot, I struggled to write it myself. I had to spend time watching movies to find inspiration. Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, it was not flattering, but it was also exhausting, so I ended the plot decisively. Returning to business and continuing to farm, the days without saving the manuscripts are not easy, and the quality is seriously degraded. Before, there were some saved manuscripts, and loopholes were found when writing and writing, and then revised before. After several revisions, there is basically no problem. However, I haven''t saved the manuscript for more than ten days, and many plots are not thoughtful enough. Whatever is written, loopholes and plot problems are discovered later and there is no way to modify it because it has already been sent out. Yesterday I watched it from the beginning, and found that the plot of this period was like shit, and many book friends said that it was not a good feeling in my heart, and it was a bit shocked. In addition, I ran around every day to prove that people''s faces are doing things. , I''m dying from the sun, my legs are weak, I go back every night and the code word is more than 12 o''clock, physical and mental exhaustion, hey... Keep saving the manuscript during this period, so that you can go back and revise while writing, and the quality of the article will be higher. I guess I don¡¯t have time to take care of the book review area, so let¡¯s take a look if you have time, but the time is estimated to be short and it will be more difficult to reply one by one. Chapter 99: Company Status "Yan Wenhan, notify the company''s management to come to my office." Xia Yu said to Yan Wenhan. "Ok!" ¡­¡­ Soon, Yan Wenhan, Zhao Cheng, Huang Wenshan and other company managements all came to Xia Yu''s office. They all looked at Xia Yu and waited for Xia Yu to speak. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Zhao Cheng, starting from you, report on the situation these days." "Boss, during your absence, our editorial department..." Zhao Cheng quickly and respectfully reported. Not long after, after Zhao Cheng finished the report, Xia Yu nodded to him and motioned him to sit down, and then the Minister of Information Sun Xin began to report. ¡­¡­ When it was finally Yan Wenhan''s turn, he summarized the overall situation of the company and reported it to Xia Yu. After listening to all the reports, Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile and said to them: "Thanks for your hard work these days!" In the past few days, Xia Yu was absent, and there was a bad incident such as the printing plant being set on fire in the middle. It can be said that it caused a lot of panic to the company, but under the management of Yan Wenhan and others, the company quickly recovered. Calm, still running in an orderly manner. Although the printing plant had experienced a disaster before, the fire was put out in a timely manner. There were no casualties, and the machines were not damaged, and they were still operating as usual. This also allowed today¡¯s issue of Jiuding Daily to be sold normally. In the past few days, Xia Yu has recognized Yan Wenhan¡¯s ability to perform. If he can be alone, Xia Yu can rest assured that Jiuding News will gradually be handed over to him. Then, Xia Yu took out a stack of documents and handed it to the Minister of Information Sun Xin. After he took it, he said: "It is conceivable that the hot news tomorrow will definitely be related to the Ma family. These documents are all about the Ma family. Black material, you and Zhao Cheng cooperated well. It will be published in the newspaper tomorrow. It will be exclusive news. Maybe it will increase the sales of the newspaper." These documents are part of the information of the Ma family that Xia Yu bought from the SD organization. Xia Yu selected them after careful selection. They are all black materials of the Ma family that can be exposed. Xia Yu wants to nail the Ma family to shame. On the pillar! Moreover, as Xia Yu said, the news about the Ma¡¯s family announced by the Xiangjiang Police Station has long been broadcast live on TV. Even the Hong Kong Governor has personally attended the scene. It is conceivable that the hot news in the next few days will be contracted by the Ma¡¯s family. With the exclusive black material news provided by Xia Yu, you can definitely get the reader''s G point. If you do a good job, the sales may really skyrocket! There are no people, and such secret inside stories can be picked up. The authority of "Jiuding Daily" in the minds of readers will also be greatly improved. It can be said that there are many benefits! "Okay, boss!" Sun Xin and Zhao Cheng nodded quickly. "Well, you guys go to work first, Yan Wenhan stay first." After reporting on the situation, Xia Yu announced the dissolution, leaving all the ministers of other departments, leaving Yan Wenhan alone. "How is the progress of "Economic" magazine now?" Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan has spent twelve minutes on the preparations for the establishment of "Economics" these days, and he is very familiar with all the situations. When Xia Yu asked at this time, he said without hesitation: "Boss, after so many days of preparations, Now that the Economic Research Office has been established and all office supplies have been prepared for a long time, construction has officially started yesterday. There are now 30 people in the Economic Research Office. According to your instructions, one economic researcher and one assistant are now available. Five economic researchers and 15 assistants are responsible for collating data and doing some basic work." "So fast? Not bad, very efficient!" After listening to Yan Wenhan''s report, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and he admired Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan''s ability to do things is indeed very strong, and his work is solid, which makes Xia Yu very satisfied. "Are they all upstairs now?" "Yes, boss, they are already working now!" Yan Wenhan replied. "Go, take me up and see!" Xia Yu is interested, and I want to take a look at the specific work of the Economic Research Office. After all, it is related to the pillar to be built by "Economics" magazine, and Xia Yu is not allowed to care. "Boss, please follow me!" After speaking, Yan Wenhan led the way to the fifth floor. "Is that inside?" Just arrived on the fifth floor, before opening the door, Xia Yu heard the quarrel coming from inside. Xia Yu stopped and looked at Yan Wenhan suspiciously. Yan Wenhan didn''t panic, instead he smiled bitterly and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, this is normal. It should be Professor Lin and Professor Xu who are arguing again. They are the two most powerful researchers in our economic research office. The two professors are close friends, but in terms of research, they are both very rigorous. If there is a difference, it is always necessary to find a result." "Oh?" Xia Yu raised his brows slightly. This situation is a good thing. He can''t wait to see who Yan Wenhan said are the two most powerful researchers. "Go in!" Xia Yu motioned. Yan Wenhan nodded, opened the door and walked inside. When the people in ¡¡¡¡ saw the door opened, they all looked towards the door, and they happened to see Yan Wenhan and Xia Yu. They knew Yan Wenhan, the vice president of the company who recruited them, but Xia Yu and the others met for the first time, but they all knew that the boss of Jiuding Newspaper Company was a teenager. Yu walked behind, and Yan Wenhan looked respectful, and immediately guessed that the boy who suddenly appeared was Xia Yu, the boss of the company. When the boss arrived, almost all the new employees behaved more decently, but Xia Yu found that some people at ~www.novelhall.com did not pay attention to form, but looked at him with inquisitive eyes. Almost all of them are elderly. . Xia Yu followed Yan Wenhan to them and said with a smile: "Good morning everyone, this is the first time I meet, I am the boss of the company, Xia Yu, welcome you to join." After all, most of them are elite talents. Of course Xia Yu''s attitude is better. "Hi boss!" "Boss, let me introduce to you." Yan Wenhan said to Xia Yu, and then started to introduce Xia Yu one by one. "This is Professor Lin Shanyuanlin. He has been working at the School of Finance of Hong Kong University. It is winter vacation. There are no classes in the university. I am interested in our "Economics" magazine. I am honored to invite him to join." "Hello Professor Lin!" After Yan Wenhan introduced, Xia Yu solemnly shook hands with Lin Shanyuan. Lin Shanyuan said hello to Xia Yu with a kind smile, which surprised Xia Yu because he was not as rigid as he was when he was arguing just now. "This is Professor Xu Zhixue Xu, a professor at the School of Economics and Finance at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is a good friend with Professor Lin and is also very interested in our "Economic" magazine." Yan Wenhan pointed to another old man who looked younger and introduced. "Hello Professor Xu!" Xia Yu greeted him again with a smile. ¡­¡­ "This is Wang He, a famous economic research scholar. He has published heavyweight articles many times..." "Who is this¡­¡­" ¡­¡­ Yan Wenhan always introduced Xia Yu, Xia Yu smiled patiently and shook hands with them, remembering everyone in his mind. Ps: A new week has begun, please referral votes for support, I wish everyone a happy life! Chapter 100: good news After getting acquainted, Yan Wenhan continued to brief Xia Yu on the specific work progress. Although today is only the second day of the start, Xia Yu¡¯s overall planning, plus many of the people present are experts in research, so a little bit of results were achieved yesterday. After understanding it clearly, Xia Yu just wanted to leave and stopped interrupting their work. Unexpectedly, Lin Shanyuan stopped him. "Xia Sheng, I have read a lot of your published articles before, and I am deeply inspired, but I also have some questions. I want to ask you some advice." Lin Shanyuan did not call Xia Yu¡¯s boss, and Xia Yu didn¡¯t care. After all, he was a professor at the School of Finance of Xiangjiang University, and his social status was not bad. Now I joined his company because of school holidays, and it is estimated that I will go back to class after school starts. Now I am a special consultant. In addition, he is an old man in his 50s and 60s, calling Xia Yu boss, Xia Yu also feels a little awkward. "I don''t dare to ask for advice, I''m a late-learner, Professor Lin, please say, I must know everything!" Xia Yu answered with a straight face. He can probably guess that Lin Shanyuan is here to test his foundation. I guess some do not believe that the article in the "Jiuding Daily" was written by Xia Yu, so now I will try it vaguely to see if Xia Yu is a real talent. Real learning. Seeing Lin Shanyuan''s serious expression, Xia Yu smiled in his heart. He was really a strict old man, a typical intellectual character. "Xia Sheng, in your article, I found that you have always firmly believed that Hong Kong¡¯s financial market will get better and better, and that the financial industry will flourish in the next few years. I also have some research on this. I want to hear from you. Views." Lin Shanyuan asked solemnly, and made a listening gesture after asking. Except for Lin Shanyuan, Xia Yu found that Xu Zhixue and others were very concerned about this issue. He smiled. The issue is too simple. He had talked to Liu Tianci once before, and he also suppressed Liu Tianci. I just didn¡¯t expect that Lin Shanyuan would ask similar questions. He couldn¡¯t help but laugh and laugh. Could it be that Lin Shanyuan and Liu Tianci have the same heart? Then, Xia Yu answered Lin Shanyuan based on the same answer last time. Lin Shanyuan, Xu Zhixue and others were indeed suppressed, but Lin Shanyuan deserves to be a professor of finance. His thinking is more rigorous and he found out some things that Xia Yu said were unclear. Place, Xia Yu answered one by one. Until the end, Lin Shanyuan smiled with emotion and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng is already so knowledgeable at a young age, and his overall outlook and insights in finance are much better than me. No wonder he was able to create such a big career at this age. " "I thought that if Xia Sheng''s ability is not bad, I want you to study at Xiangjiang University in the future. It seems that I have been thinking too much. After entering Xiangjiang University, I may not find anyone who can teach you." Lin Shanyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. , Expressing his inner thoughts. After hearing this, Xia Yu was a little surprised, and quickly said modestly: "Professor Lin, you look up to me, there must be my teacher in the three-person group, and I need to learn more!" "Haha!" "Don''t talk about it, Xia Sheng, regarding the establishment of "Economics" magazine, I read your plan. According to your plan, in order to speed up the efficiency, we researched it. Everyone is assigned their own responsibility. Now I will talk to you. , Listen to your opinion before acting." Next, Lin Shanyuan and Xia Yu introduced their internally negotiated division of labor. After listening to Xia Yu, he had no objection at all and let them execute it directly. After staying for a while, Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan left the economic research room. After staying in the company for a while, he took Yan Shining to the Kowloon Stock Exchange. He needed to see Liu Tianci and report safety. Also go to find out about your own stock handling. "Liu Sheng, good morning!" After seeing Liu Tianci, Xia Yu walked over with a smile. Seeing Xia Yu appearing without incident, Liu Tianci was very happy: "Xia Sheng, you are here." After chatting with Liu Tianci for a while, Xia Yu asked about his stock. "Xia Sheng, take a look. The market value of Dafa Real Estate has returned to 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and now it has reached 65 million. I am already helping you with stocks. So far, I have sold a total of 5 % Of the shares, cash out about 3.2 million, and the remaining 25% of the shares, I will find a way to sell it for you in the next few days." Liu Tianci introduced the actual situation to Xia Yu. "Liu Sheng, thank you! Please take care of the rest." Xia Yu said happily. Stocks are not money after all. As long as they are sold and cashed out, they will be money. They will definitely not run away. Once the money is available, Xia Yu will be able to consider the next operational matters. Xia Yu stayed on the Kowloon Stock Exchange until the noon break. During this period, he chatted with Liu Tianci for a while before Xia Yu left. After all, Liu Tianci still has his own work to do. In the rest of the time, Xia Yu also studied other stocks carefully, and also recorded the stock prices of various listed companies, as well as understanding the shareholders of major companies and their shareholding ratios. These data are produced by the "Economic" magazine. Extremely needed data. Although the Economic Research Office has been established, Xia Yu is still idle, so it is better to help collect data together, and is it not a good opportunity to understand the basic situation of Xiangjiang''s business community? Only if Xia Yu has personally touched the data, can he be more clear when he analyzes the problem, he even disagrees with it. ¡­¡­ In the evening, Xia Jun came to the Chunqiu Medical Center again. Seeing him appear, Xia Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because since Xia Jun went out to execute his orders last night, he has not come back, and there is no news from him today. , Although Xia Yu knew he would be fine, but if he didn''t see anyone, he was still a little worried after all. "Brother Jun, are you okay? Did you ask how the intelligence came from?" Xia Yu asked concerned. Xia Jun showed a relaxed smile and said: "I''m fine. I asked about my information, but a stranger gave me a bite to death. I must hand it over to Officer Allen. I don''t have any other things. I know, because this time I was meritorious, and Officer Allen also spoke about me in front of the Governor. The Governor also praised me. The Governor has spoken. Who else can take me?" "I also met Shi Lirong, the chief of the police station. He has clearly stated that the credit for this time was given to me. He ended the internship ahead of schedule and became a regular student, and he was listed as a key training object." said in the end, the smile on Xia Jun''s face became stronger, and Xia Yu was also happy for him. After all, not long after entering the police station, I saw the boss of the police station and the Governor of Hong Kong. With this halo, Xia Jun''s future is definitely brighter than others! "The Ma family can be a stepping stone for your promotion, it is also useful." Xia Yu smiled. "By the way, did you talk to Leizi about this to make him happy too." "Not yet, I just arrived, now I''m going to talk to Leizi." After speaking, Xia Yu and Xia Jun walked to Xia Lei''s ward. Ps: I finally have a hundred chapters. I wrote one hundred chapters for the first time. It is a small achievement for me. Spread flowers to celebrate! Chapter 101: Ready to expand The next day, as expected by Xia Yu, news from the Ma family dominated the headlines of major newspapers, and almost all the hot spots of public opinion in Xiangjiang were contracted by Ma family. If there is a real-time hotspot ranking list like the post-generation Weibo at this time, you will find that the hotspots from the first to the tenth are all rounded up by news related to the Ma family. When Toutiao Wang sees it, he will definitely have a heartbreak. The major newspapers did everything they could to make their news reports stand out, so as to stand out and increase sales and authority. But "Jiuding Daily" has the secret information provided by Xia Yu, and every exclusive news that broke out is heavyweight. Comparing other newspapers with "Jiuding Daily" is like Yinghuo to Haoyue. It is incomparable at all and completely overshadowed. "Jiuding Daily" is totally bullying, no, it''s bullying! The effect of standing out among the crowd is indeed very powerful. Even if Yan Wenhan had prepared for the delivery of newspapers and asked the bosses of the major newsstands to pick up some more newspapers, they still sold out quickly, and the newspaper delivery telephones from all over Xiangjiang did not ring in the company. Stop, the customer service employees don''t even have time to drink water. Although hard work, this prosperous weather makes all the company''s people proud and happy. Both and Rong Yan! On a bus, a passenger who had just bought the "Jiuding Daily" opened the newspaper and saw the news about the Ma family on it. The various criminal acts on it made him feel angry, and some of the demented acts were even more frantic. Make his scalp numb. He couldn''t help but yelled: "The Ma family who has been condemned by the gods is dead and lawless. It''s time to wean off children and grandchildren!" "Yes, fortunately the Hong Kong government has destroyed the Ma family, otherwise there will be more deaths by the Ma family, the cancer of Xiangjiang!" "The "Oriental Daily" actually delivered news for the Ma family''s laundry detergent trade. I had subscribed to the "Oriental Daily" before and paid for the Ma family''s laundry detergent trade. I had to go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to burn incense and drive away evil spirits." "Fortunately, "Oriental Daily" has ceased publication. This kind of newspaper should be discontinued. I heard that the printing factory of "Jiuding Daily" was set on fire a few days ago. A friend of the brother of my aunt''s form was working in "Jiuding Daily". It is said that Ma Jia did it, because "Jiuding Daily" sells so well, which affected the sales of "Oriental Daily"." "Compared with "Jiuding Daily", "Oriental Daily" is rubbish. If you can''t do it directly, you can do this kind of indiscriminate tricks. Sure enough, it can be done by unruly people like the Ma family. It is definitely they. of!" ¡­¡­ The topic caused by one person immediately aroused the heated discussion of the whole car. To the Ma family, everyone hates it, and the "Jiuding Daily" is the image of the victim, which naturally won their sympathy, plus the " The quality of "Jiuding Daily" has been continuously improving, and its influence in the hearts of citizens has also been continuously improved. Such a scene not only happened on this bus, it is a common phenomenon, and the whole Xiangjiang has been talking about it. If Ma Xiru was parading in a prison cart like ancient times, he would definitely be completely overwhelmed by rotten eggs and rotten cabbage! The grievances of the low-level citizens who are deeply oppressed by the community toward the community and the black forces have all concentrated on the Ma family. The backlog of resentment over the years can be said to have gone. No matter what has nothing to do with the Ma family, they will all go to the Ma family. The buckle is right, the Ma family is completely nailed to the pillar of shame. Even some people who were persecuted by the Ma family saw that the Ma family was not threatening, and they all ran to the police station and the gate of the Hong Kong government, demanding that Ma Xiru be sentenced to death immediately! On the way to the company, the reaction of the public was seen by Xia Yu. He was in a much better mood, and his smile could not be hidden. The worse the Ma family was scolded, the happier he was! After coming to the company, seeing the enthusiasm in the company, Xia Yu encouraged the employees a few words, and then called Yan Wenhan into the office. Xia Yu wants to tell Yan Wenhan about the expansion of "Jiuding Daily". "Wenhan, how is the sales status of our newspaper during this time?" When Yan Wenhan sat down, Xia Yu leaned forward and looked at Yan Wenhan and asked. Yan Wenhan raised his head and straightened his posture. After a little thought, he said: "Boss, since the Dafa Real Estate incident, our daily sales of newspapers have reached 300,000 copies. Although there will be fluctuations in the following time, it has passed so much. With Tian¡¯s efforts, sales have also stabilized and can maintain sales of 300,000 copies. ¡°Today¡¯s news has a lot of hot spots. According to statistics, today¡¯s newsstand calls to deliver newspapers a lot earlier than usual, and they ask for more. Today¡¯s sales volume will definitely hit a new high. It is estimated that 330,000 copies are not a big problem. , But if there is no continuous hot news in the later period, sales may decline a bit." Yan Wenhan seeks truth from facts, and finally talked about his own analysis, but he did not report happiness to Xia Yu. "Furthermore, the population base of Xiangjiang is not large. Most people live on the food and clothing line. Nowadays, there are not many people who can afford newspapers. The sales volume of 300,000 copies of our newspapers is actually very high. There is a habit of buying newspapers. Most of them have bought our newspapers. Limited by the people¡¯s economic problems in a short period of time, it is difficult for them to grow significantly. If the citizens become wealthy in five or six years, it would not be a problem for our newspaper sales to increase by one hundred and eighty thousand, but now... it is difficult! " Xia Yu nodded, he also considered the issues Yan Wenhan said, otherwise he would not be asked to talk about the expansion of newspapers today. Xia Yu has seen a set of data on the population of Hong Kong. In 1978, the population density of Hong Kong was 4,667 people per square kilometer, and the total land area of ??Hong Kong was more than 1,100 square kilometers. UU Reading now has a total population. A little over five million. With a population of 5 million, 300,000 people bought the "Jiuding Daily", which is definitely not low. Considering those adults like Xia Yu¡¯s parents who never buy newspapers, and removing at least one million children who are incapable of purchasing, the high subscription rate of Jiuding Daily is scary. Xiangjiang¡¯s purchasing potential has been exhausted, but Xia Yu is still left to explore except for Xiangjiang. Southeast Asia has a population of four to five billion, Taiwan Province has a population of nearly 20 million, and an island country has a population of more than 100 million. The market is waiting for Xia Yu to explore. Island countries can be pushed back first, the market is more difficult to enter, there are many large and small media, and there are cultural differences, so I have to slowly figure it out. In Taiwan Province, although there is no cultural difference, due to the control of public opinion, and considering the grievances between the "Jiuding Daily" and the Ma family, the "Oriental Daily" is a newspaper that is strongly pro-Taiwan Province. The "Jiuding Daily" will definitely be there. Be suppressed. And it''s the same thing whether you can get in, so we also rule out first. Then consider Southeast Asia. Although Southeast Asia¡¯s economy is underdeveloped and many people are below the food and clothing line, they are all other ethnic groups, and the Chinese have a pretty good life. In Southeast Asia, regardless of the country, the Chinese are at the top in terms of economics. These Chinese talents are the users that the "Jiuding Daily" most hopes to absorb. Other influential indigenous people, just ignore them and give up strategically! "I plan to expand Jiuding Daily to Southeast Asia, what do you think?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and asked Yan Wenhan. Xia Yu: Everyone, put the pots for votes, and the recommended tickets, right?? Chapter 102: Specific operation plan "Boss, why don''t you first expand to Taiwan Province, which is closer to us?" Yan Wenhan asked. He also thought about the expansion of newspapers. He thought that the boss would let the "Jiuding Daily" expand to Taiwan Province. He didn''t expect to expand to Southeast Asia. Did the boss ignore it? Thinking of this, he couldn''t help asking. "The situation in Taiwan Province is more complicated. Public opinion control is very strict, and the black forces are all-round. It is more difficult to establish a branch. If something goes wrong, it will be beyond reach. Another thing, the "Oriental Daily" is a newspaper that is pro-Taiwan province. If we got stuck, we absolutely got on the blacklist of the supporters behind the "Oriental Daily", and went there instead of throwing themselves into the net. We don''t have the intention to deal with these things now. It is still important to develop the company." "However, it is not that our newspapers are not distributed to Taiwan. We just don¡¯t put our energy there and send some people there. It is safer to test it out. You can leave the branch established and wait for a while! The energy is limited. , Southeast Asia¡¯s market is even bigger, first expand towards Southeast Asia.¡± "Boss, I didn''t think well!" After listening to Xia Yu''s explanation, Yan Wenhan was stunned and said ashamed. "It''s okay, tell me your opinion, how to make our newspaper expand rapidly in Southeast Asia." Xia Yu smiled and said he didn''t care, and asked again. "Boss, our method of "Jiuding Daily"''s rise in Xiangjiang cannot be used in Southeast Asia, and there is no distribution channel. My idea is to set up distribution branches in various countries first, and if we only rely on ourselves to find them one by one, comic For no purpose, in order to speed up efficiency, we can stare at "Sing Tao Daily" to lay the sales network." Yan Wenhan frowned slightly in deep thought, and said after thinking for a long time. "You have a good idea, it can indeed speed up efficiency!" After listening to Yan Wenhan¡¯s thoughts, Xia Yu¡¯s eyes lit up. After Yan Wenhan finished speaking, he immediately analyzed the benefits of doing so. He did not expect that Yan Wenhan thought of this method in a short time, and it was extremely feasible and operability. Strong. "Jiuding Daily" wants to enter other countries in Southeast Asia, but does not know the facts of other countries, such as the distribution of newsstands, market sales, and so on. If you go through the statistics one by one, you don''t know when to get it. But if you stare at the "Sing Tao Daily" and figure out the channels of the "Sing Tao Daily", then "Jiu Ding Daily" will go to door to sell, the effect will definitely be very good. First, where "Sing Tao Daily" can be sold, there is definitely a market for newspaper sales, and it has been developed by "Sing Tao Daily" and other newspapers. The market has been raised, "Jiuding Daily" only needs to rush in to pick up the ready-made ones, and rely on strength to compete. Secondly, the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" in Xiangjiang are only half of that of "Jiuding Daily". This gimmick is a big killer! Regardless of whether the local newsstands have heard of "Jiuding Daily" before, as long as the "Sing Tao Daily" is used as the background board and the sales data comparison is provided, this kind of intuitive comparison can definitely give those newsstand owners a strong impact. The confidence of "Jiuding Daily" can be established at once, and laying a sales network is absolutely easy. Of course, Yan Wenhan also understands Xia Yu''s concerns. The rapid rise of "Jiuding Daily" is inseparable from Xia Yu''s "Looking for the Qin" and stock review articles, and among senior and middle-level people, they rely on Xia Yu''s stock reviews and business analysis articles. But in Southeast Asia, Xia Yu''s stock review effect will be weakened a lot. After all, he is too far away from Xiangjiang. This information is not necessary for those who are unable to go abroad. If "Jiuding Daily" wants to expand, it can rely mainly on "Xun Qin Ji"! Fortunately, after nearly a month of serialization, "Looking for the Qin" has long been popular in Xiangjiang, and its influence has spread to Southeast Asia along with the flow of people. It naturally has a certain foundation. It is conceivable that the starting point of the publication of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia will definitely be better than It is high in Xiangjiang, but the starting point is high, and the boosting force is small, so it may not climb faster in Xiangjiang! Moreover, Xia Yu also considered one point. After nearly a month of serialization, "Xun Qin Ji" has also serialized 500,000 words. There are no 600,000 characters because many martial arts writers have contributed during this period, and several good novels have been received, and they have been serialized in newspapers. Due to the limited space, correspondingly, the number of characters published in "Xun Qin Ji" has been reduced by a lot in one day, which relieved Xia Yu a lot of pressure. However, "Xun Qin Ji" has been serialized with 500,000 words. In Southeast Asia, some people must have read it, but more people have not read it. The "Jiu Ding Daily" published in Southeast Asia cannot be printed separately. From the first chapter Start serializing "Xun Qin Ji" again. Readers who know "Xun Qin Ji" don''t want to buy newspapers, so it is difficult to borrow the power of "Xun Qin Ji", and if it is serialized at the same time as Xiangjiang, it will make people feel inexplicable because of the lack of the previous article, and the effect is even better. not good. Xia Yu frowned slightly, lost in thought, ready to think of a solution to this problem. "Yes!" Soon, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and smiled. "The "Looking for the Qin" has been serialized to 500,000 words, and another 100,000 words are serialized to 600,000 words. It is completely possible to publish two books first, directly ripen the market, and stir up the heat. Then users will learn about the "Jiuding Daily" There are the latest serialized chapters and I will definitely buy the newspaper." "Moreover, it''s time to publish a book. It can not only expand the influence of "Xun Qin Ji", but also take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. At the same time, it can also start the company''s publishing business and establish a publishing channel. Sooner or later, this will have to be done. , Sooner rather than later, just take the opportunity to establish!" Soon, Xia Yu told Yan Wenhan of his thoughts, and Yan Wenhan agreed with him again and again, feeling that Xia Yu was wise. "Wen Han, you go call in Sun Changfa, Zhao Cheng and Zhang Lei, and we will discuss a specific charter together." Xia Yu smiled and asked Yan Wenhan to go out and call for someone to come in. "Boss!" Soon, Sun Changfa, Zhao Cheng and Zhang Lei entered the office and respectfully called Xia Yu, and then waited for Xia Yu''s order. "Sit down first and speak slowly!" After letting them sit down, Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan to talk about the company''s expansion strategy Sun Changfa and the three nodded repeatedly while listening. After Yan Wenhan finished speaking, Xia Yu said to Sun Changfa: "Sun Changfa, your task is the most important. Send someone to figure out the distribution network of "Sing Tao Daily", and then you recruit people. You must absolutely establish the distribution team!" "Understood!" Sun Changfa said with a happy face and straightened his chest. The boss assigns him tasks again, and it is still such a very important task, plus allowing him to continue to recruit people, this is expanding his rights, the more manpower, his position in the company and in the eyes of the boss The higher, how unhappy he is. Seeing Sun Changfa¡¯s ecstatic expression, Xia Yu smiled, and then said to Zhao Cheng: "Your task is to typeset "Xun Qin Ji" into two volumes, understand?" "Understand!" Zhao Cheng nodded solemnly. Then, Xia Yu looked at Zhang Lei again and said, "Zhang Lei, your printing department will continue to recruit people, and hire a few veterans with publishing experience. It is also the first time our company publishes books, prints books and prints newspapers. The steps are different. You buy a special printing machine again and ask Liu Zhong for reimbursement for the funds. My requirement is only one, that is, the quality of the book must be guaranteed, and there must be no problems such as disconnection and glue opening. You must pay more attention!" "Boss, I understand!" Zhang Lei nodded steadily. "Wenhan, you are also staring at this matter. Please give me feedback on any situation." "Okay, boss!" Yan Wenhan nodded solemnly. "Okay, let''s go out first, and report to me if you have other questions." Xia Yu said. After Yan Wenhan and others went out, Xia Yu became busy again. Ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for recommendation (???¦Å???) Chapter 103: Unexpected reunion The next day, Xia Yu just wanted to join the company, but found that there were many adult men waiting at the company¡¯s door. After a little thought, he remembered that he should be applying for a security guard. After the printing plant caught fire, Xia Yu ordered Yan Wenhan to make an announcement to establish the company¡¯s security department, and someone should guard the company and the printing plant 24 hours a day. Taking into account the actual situation in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu''s requirements are not high, as long as he is strong, innocent, and has no criminal record. He didn''t expect the security guards who came over with a trick to play a big role, after all, apart from his strength, he didn''t receive special training. He intends to wait for Yan Shining to train them and improve their skills when he has time. This is more realistic. In his mind, within a short period of time, the main function of the security department is to frighten people. Just decorate the facade and get rid of some people''s unruly intentions. nodded to the staff in charge of the reception, Xia Yu did not stop, and led Yan Shining towards the company. Just as Xia Yu was walking a few steps, Yan Shining who followed behind looked at one of the people in the crowd and cried out with some doubt: "Monkey?" Xia Yu stopped and turned back, followed Yan Shining''s gaze, and saw that he was a man with a shaved head, a firm face, and a very strong body. And this guy seemed to have heard Yan Shining''s shout, looked at Yan Shining, blinked, and asked tentatively in Mandarin: "Squad leader?" Hearing what the man said, Yan Shining showed a pleasant smile: "Hou Sheng, it''s really you, why are you here?" "It''s me, monitor, why have you come to Xiangjiang?" Confirmed to be his old squad leader, the man named Hou Sheng had red eyes, and ran over excitedly and hugged Yan Shining tightly, and then let go, but his eyes flickered constantly looking at Yan Shining. , The excitement is revealed on the surface. Seeing that it was actually Yan Shining¡¯s acquaintance, and it seemed that he was still his old subordinate, Xia Yu was a little surprised. He did not expect such a coincidence in the world. Nodded towards Yan Shining, Xia Yu walked directly to the company. He didn''t bother Yan Shining anymore. When he had a good chat with his old men, Yan Shining would naturally report to him later. . After Xia Yu left, Yan Shining took Hou Sheng aside. The company employees who were in charge of the reception hurriedly moved two stools for Yan Shining and the others to sit down. After all, Yan Shining is the bodyguard of the boss Xia Yu. The upper status is higher, after all, the boss is closer. The person applying for the job now obviously knows Yan Shining, and the attitude of the staff in charge of reception is of course different, and he has made up his mind. He must tell his boss the news later, and call this Hou Sheng. People enter it. ¡­¡­ "Squad leader, you are so powerful, how come you have retired, and you came to Xiangjiang, did you commit a crime?" Hou Sheng held Yan Shining''s hand tightly and asked with some concern. Hearing Hou Sheng''s words, Yan Shining frowned and stared at Hou Sheng with piercing eyes, "Why, you escaped after the crime?" Seeing Yan Shining''s serious expression, the smile on Hou Sheng''s face also closed. He did not hide Yan Shining, sighed and said: "After we retired together five years ago, we once saw a group of bullies bullying women. We couldn''t see it, we rushed up and fought, accidentally killing people. Who knows that there are forces behind the bully that made the police want to arrest us. We were unwilling to be arrested, and then fled all the way, and finally, in order to completely get rid of the hunt, we swam to Xiangjiang together. Now we have been living here for five years. " Hearing Hou Sheng¡¯s words, Yan Shining nodded silently. He knew what kind of person Hou Sheng was. He was just a thorny head and had a very stubborn personality. Really dry it out. But this Yan Shining didn''t want to take care of it either. Although Hou Sheng broke the law, in his opinion, the bully who oppressed women deserved to be killed. "You? Who else is here besides you?" Yan Shining hurriedly asked, he was more concerned about this issue. "There are Li Quan, Zhang Zhi, Wu Dashan and Du Ming. The five of us are here. We happened to have a drink together when the accident happened, and we ran away together when the accident happened." Hou Sheng answered truthfully. "They are all there? Where are they now?" Yan Shining was beaming, and couldn''t wait to see them. These four people are all his old men, but unfortunately they all retired. And he entered other troops. Since they retired, Yan Shining has not seen them again. It has been more than five years since the last meeting. Now that they are in Xiangjiang, Yan Shining wants to see them immediately! After all, they are all brothers in the same adversity. That kind of iron-clad feelings can''t be wiped away easily, and will only become deeper and deeper as time goes by. "They are still working at the dock now, and now I am alone, monitor, let me take you there, Li Quan and the others have been thinking of you." Hou Sheng said, stood up and wanted to take Yan Shi Ning go. "Wait, sit down first." Yan Shining said. Although he wanted to see Li Quan right away, he did not forget his duty. Now he is Xia Yu''s bodyguard. Protecting Xia Yu''s safety is his first priority. He cannot leave directly. Besides, Xia Yu is still waiting for him to report on Hou Sheng''s situation! "Monkey, let me ask you something first, you have to answer me truthfully, this is very important!" Yan Shining looked at Hou Sheng closely and said. "Squad leader, just ask if you have anything to do. If I dare to tell a lie, you can smoke me!" Hou Sheng straightened his chest and said solemnly. Yan Shining smiled, eased the atmosphere, and said: "What have you been doing for the past five years?" "We are uneducated, and we didn''t speak Cantonese when we first arrived, so we had to do hard work and move goods on the dock. This was five years. I was still moving goods yesterday!" Hou Sheng replied . "Have you joined the club?" Yan Shining asked again. "No, how could we bully the common people? Even if we take off the military uniform, I can''t forget that I am a soldier. The five of us absolutely did not do anything to bully the common people!" Hou Sheng straightened his chest and said solemnly. "But Xiangjiang is indeed chaotic. There are also many forces on the dock. In order to protect ourselves, the five of us held a group and attracted a group of honest men. If you don¡¯t offend me, I don¡¯t offend. Don''t come to provoke us." "That''s good." Yan Shining breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hou Sheng''s words, and said with a smile. "What are you here for now? Don''t you want to move the goods?" Yan Shining asked again. "Didn¡¯t you see Jiuding Newspaper Company recruiting security guards? The salary is much higher than that of us moving goods, and life is easy, but I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s true or not, so I¡¯m sent to try. Will come, after all, it is not a problem to keep moving goods." Hou Sheng said without thinking. "By the way, squad leader, talk about you, why did you come to Xiangjiang? You wouldn''t have also committed a crime and escaped, and you followed the person just now, who is that person?" Hou Sheng asked back. Very curious. "What do you think?" Yan Shining slapped Hou Sheng on the head, and said with a smile. "Hey!" Hou Sheng scratched his head and laughed a few times. He knew that he had said something wrong, but he didn''t care. After all, he was beaten by the squad leader many times in the army. "I retired on my own initiative. My wife died of an illness, and my son Yanhong also found a serious illness. He came to Xiangjiang in desperation The person you saw just now is my boss, too He gave me a hand when I first came, otherwise my son might be gone," Yan Shining said slowly. "But it''s okay now, my son Yanhong is now being treated, and the situation is pretty good." Speaking of this, Yan Shining showed a heartfelt smile. "That''s good, I''m going to see him next time, I saw him a few times when I was young, I don''t know if he recognizes me as an uncle now, hehe." Hou Sheng said with confidence. "By the way, don''t you want to change jobs? That was my boss just now, and Jiuding Newspaper Company is his. As long as my boss says there is no problem, you can come in. You follow me now, the boss is still waiting. " After finishing speaking, Yan Shining stood up and walked into the company with a surprised look of Hou Sheng. He has been observing while Hou Sheng is answering questions. He who is very familiar with Hou Sheng can be sure that Hou Sheng has not said a lie, and he also believes that Hou Sheng dare not lie to him. After all, fake ones will always be discovered. This is necessary. The question has already been asked, and Yan Shining did not want Xia Yu to wait too long. As soon as he entered Xia Yu¡¯s office, Yan Shining realized that the boss seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He signaled Hou Sheng to stand, then walked to Xia Yu and started reporting: "Boss, he is Hou Sheng, my former subordinate. He retired five years ago and killed the bully on the mainland and escaped. However, he was very principled. He did not join the club. He has been working hard at the docks. First, he came to the company to apply for security. It will be worse, I can guarantee this." After finishing speaking, Yan Shining glanced at Hou Sheng who was a little surprised, and gave him a relieved look. It is estimated that Hou Sheng did not expect that Yan Shining would report all the information just asked to Xia Yu. Chapter 104: Security department established Xia Yu smiled and nodded, stood up and looked at Hou Sheng and said, "You don''t need to interview, just hire. It just so happens that Yan Shining is also with me, and you are still your old squad leader. You will still belong to him when you join. tube." "What are you doing stupidly, thank you boss!" Seeing Hou Sheng a little dumbfounded, Yan Shining walked over and kicked him in the calf to wake him up. "Thank you, boss!" Hou Shengru awakened from his dream, stood up straight and shouted. Hou Sheng did not expect to join Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. in such a simple way, to get a high salary, and to meet Yan Shining and become his subordinate again, all of which made him feel a little confused. "Boss, besides Hou Sheng, four of them are still working at the dock. They are all very capable. Would you like it?" Yan Shining asked again. Yan Shining is the one who knows Xia Yu''s situation best, knowing that Xia Yu is very short of security personnel and is also having a headache for security issues. Now this is a good opportunity, because Li Quan and their abilities are absolutely nothing to say, and with him here, Yan Shining can confidently guarantee that they will not have problems, and the boss Xia Yu can also be safer. As soon as he saw Hou Sheng, he thought of this, so he kept asking Hou Sheng just now, just to find out if it is suitable to recruit them. Hearing what Yan Shining said, Hou Sheng also looked at Xia Yu closely, hoping that he would agree that such a good job can still be with Yan Shining, and he also wanted Li Quan and the others to come in. Sure enough, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up when he heard Yan Shining''s words, and he quickly asked, "Where are they now?" A retired soldier is still Yan Shining''s old subordinate. Even if he can''t fight like Yan Shining, he is definitely not bad. He is definitely a talent, and he is still in short supply for Xia Yu! "Boss, they are at the Kowloon City Ferry Terminal. They should be moving goods now." Hou Sheng said quickly when Yan Shining signaled. Although he is five big and three rough, but as the saying goes, he only takes the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. He was a good monkey, and he changed his name to Xia Yu as the boss at this time. There was no discomfort at all. Seeing Yan Shining¡¯s questioning gaze, Xia Yu hesitated and confirmed that there is nothing more important than this. He said directly: ¡°Go, now and now, if they are suitable, just recruit them directly, and don¡¯t do hard work. , Wasting talent." "Good boss!" Then, Xia Yu, Yan Shining and Hou Sheng got out of the company and got on the car, let Hou Sheng sit in the co-pilot and give directions to the Kowloon City Ferry Terminal. Soon, under the guidance of Hou Sheng, the car stopped at a spot on the pier. Suddenly a luxury car arrived at the messy dock, which naturally attracted the attention of workers moving nearby. After seeing Hou Sheng coming out of the co-pilot, many people''s eyes widened, and they had no idea that Hou Sheng would come out of the luxury car. After all, they have been working at the dock for five years. Everyone knows Hou Sheng and knows his details, but the current contrast really makes them dumbfounded. Seeing the reaction of these workers, Hou Sheng couldn''t help but lift his head and chest, a sense of pride spontaneously. From now on, he has escaped from this kind of hardship, and his old squad leader is still the boss''s bodyguard, so his confidence is naturally stronger. "Brother Quan, come here quickly and see who is coming!" Hou Sheng shouted at Li Quan not far away. He was looking forward to Li Quan and the others seeing Yan Shining''s expression. Not far away, Li Quan and others directly dropped the package they were carrying and strode towards Hou Sheng. Before they got to the front, they saw Xia Yu and Yan Shi NX Yu from Xia Yu in the car. They didn''t know each other, but the moment they saw Yan Shining, they were a little confused. But after seeing the smiles of Hou Sheng and Yan Shining, they affirmed their inner guess and ran over quickly. "Squad leader, is it you?" "Monkey, why did you come with the monitor? Didn''t you apply to be a security guard?" ¡­¡­ asked a group of people rushingly, Li Quan and others directly surrounded Yan Shining, and then hugged him tightly. Looking at the scene before him, feeling the full of brotherhood in the air, Xia Yu showed a faint smile, leaning on the car door and watching them quietly. After a while, Yan Shining called Li Quan and others to Xia Yu and introduced them: "This is my boss, Xia Sheng, I am now the boss''s bodyguard!" "Jiuding Newspaper Company belongs to my boss, and the boss has agreed to the monkey joining the company." "Since you are Yan Shining''s old subordinates, and I believe in your abilities, please come directly to my company and continue to be under his jurisdiction. What do you think?" Xia Yu looked at Li Quan and the others. Hearing Xia Yu said this, Li Quan and the others were very pleasantly surprised, and they nodded quickly and looked at Xia Yu with gratitude. "thank you boss!" It¡¯s just that, looking at the other people behind him and realizing that their eyes are full of envy, Li Quan hesitated for a moment and just wanted to speak, but other people spoke before him. "This boss, do you need people in your company? We and brothers all work together. Although he is not strong enough, we are absolutely hardworking and honest." After this person finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu expectantly. "Are they?" Xia Yu looked at Li Quan and asked. "Boss, they are brothers who work with us. They have joined us slowly over the years. Because there are few people and easy to be bullied on the docks, we stay together. They are all strong and honest. Duty people, we didn''t want other people who sneaked, raped, and stole the dog." Li Quan said quickly, he also wanted to help his group of workers. Because of Yan Shining''s relationship, he and Zhang Zhi, Wu Dashan, and Du Ming can go in directly. But the others have nothing to do with Yan Shining, and Xia Yu didn''t say anything. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, he also hopes they can come in. Otherwise, if the five of them are gone, this little gang will definitely not be able to grab the others, and life will be even more difficult. "How many people are there in total?" Xia Yu asked Li Quan. "In addition to the five of us, there are exactly 20." Li Quan quickly replied. gaze swept across them, looking at their expectant gaze, Xia Yu asked, "Are you all willing to come to my company?" "Yes!" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, they couldn''t wait to answer. They don¡¯t have to worry about Xia Yu deceiving them. After all, Li Quan¡¯s five people are clearly related, and they are familiar with Li Quan. They don¡¯t have to worry about being cheated when they join Jiuding Newspaper Company. Their salary is much higher than that of moving goods. How could they be unwilling to work for? And they also heard that Xia Yu is the boss, and now the boss directly asks them, obviously they want to recruit them, they are too happy to be too late. "Okay, you can go to the security department together, and you can come to the company to go through the formalities later. As long as you act honestly and work hard, I won''t fire you." "Thank you boss!" A group of people cheered. ¡­¡­ "The boss, are you still hiring? We are not bad!" What happened at Xia Yu was seen by the people around him, and some people became active, and they hurriedly came over and shouted looking at Xia Yu expectantly. It''s a pity that Xia Yu didn''t let go this time. The 20 recruits were because they were in a gang with Li Quan and Hou Sheng, and Li Quan and Hou Sheng had Yan Shining restraint, and Xia Yu could be more at ease, but other people Xia Yu It is impossible to rest assured. And now, 25 people have been recruited, and five of them are veterans. This is enough for the company''s current security requirements, and there are even excesses. But Xia Yu doesn''t care how much more money is spent. He still knows where money can be saved and where money cannot be saved. As long as the security is well done, he can avoid more losses, and he can be more at ease. No matter how you think about it, this is a good deal! Then, Xia Yu took Yan Shining back to the company, and the others were led by Hou Sheng to the Jiuding Newspaper Company. After ¡¡¡¡ went back, Xia Yu arranged the matter and stopped the outside recruitment. Next, in order to better manage, Xia Yu established a new security department, giving Yan Shining the title of security department minister, and also serving as his bodyguard. Of course, because Yan Shining wants to stay with Xia Yu, he has not had so much time to supervise the security department. Under Yan Shining¡¯s suggestion, let the most capable Li Quan serve as deputy ministers, Hou Sheng, Zhang Zhi, Wu Dashan and Du Ming is the team leader of four people, each leading a team of five people. After finishing this matter, one day passed. With the security department, Xia Yu''s heart can also be relieved. In the next days, it is up to Yan Shining and others to quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the security department, increase the power of the security department, and better protect Xia Yu''s personal and property safety. Ps: Today, there are 5500+ chapters in two chapters, which is really awesome. I would like to ask for a recommendation! Chapter 105: 6 He Securities In the next few days, the company¡¯s affairs were proceeding in an orderly manner. The establishment of the "Economic" magazine, the publication of the "Xun Qin Ji" novel, the expansion of the distribution department and the establishment of channels are all progressing very quickly. On this day, Xia Yu was busy writing "Xun Qin Ji" in the office when suddenly the phone on the desk rang. "Hey, Liu Sheng, good afternoon!...Okay, I''ll come over right away." After Xia Yu hung up the phone, a faint smile appeared on his face. Just now, Liu Tianci called and informed him that his 30% of Dafa Real Estate stocks had been released. It happens that Xia Yu has time now. He plans to deal with this matter in the past and also count how much liquidity he has now. called Shangyan Shi NX Yu and quickly arrived at the Kowloon Stock Exchange. After getting off the bus, he drove through the crowd and went straight to the location of HSBC Securities. "Liu Sheng, I''m here." Xia Yu greeted Liu Tianci with a smile on his face. "Xia Sheng, please follow me!" Liu Tianci was not long-winded, and took Xia Yu directly to a place, and then began to introduce it. "In the past few days, the stock price of Dafa Real Estate has fluctuated around 66 million yuan. It could have risen again. However, because a part of the stock was sold and flowed to the market, the stock price is relatively more susceptible to influence, so the momentum is rising. It stopped temporarily." "And I have sold 30% of your stocks. After deducting the handling fee, you still have 19 million left in your account. If you deduct the 1 million principal you used, you have the rest There are still seven million principals, and the total account has 26 million!" "Xia Sheng, you have made a fortune! Congratulations!" Liu Tianci congratulated Xia Yu with a smile, with some emotion in his tone. "Tongxi, Tongxi, you guys are not getting rich too! Haha!" Xia Yu smiled and said to Liu Tianci. "Haha! Get rich together!" Liu Tianci smiled happily. Indeed, as Xia Yu said, the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities also made a lot of money. They grabbed 25% of the shares when the stock price was lowest. If they were sold now, they would be worth more than 16 million. At that time, the cost of bargaining was just over 4 million. After such a calculation, their profit was nearly one Twelve million! Four times the profit, and it takes such a short time. This achievement is absolutely brilliant! The exposure of ¡¡¡¡ will definitely cause a huge sensation. It is estimated that the phone calls in Liu Tianci''s office will be blown by customers. If none of this represents ability, what else can show ability? At that time, when reporting to the superiors, this result will add a lot to Liu Tianci, no wonder Liu Tianci is so happy! What''s more, after making so much money, as the general manager of the branch, he can also enjoy the commission! "Liu Sheng, help me with this money first!" Xia Yu thought for a while. "No problem, I will ask someone to apply for cash withdrawal right away." Liu Tianci said immediately. "By the way, Liu Sheng, now I have enough funds. I plan to set up a securities company, but it is too much trouble to apply for a securities license. I want to buy one directly. I don¡¯t need the others. I only need a securities practice license. The company with the more complete licenses, the better. You are more familiar with the HeungKong securities industry. I don''t know if anyone recommends it." Xia Yu asked Liu Tianci. As Xia Yu said, his capital has reached 26 million, which is enough to open a securities company. In this era, there are many large and small securities companies in Xiangjiang, and many small securities companies have assets estimated at 10 to 20 million. And like the previous Wu Chengtai''s Tianwu Securities, the assets under management reached 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered to be the leader among small securities companies. Xia Yu''s 26 million funds are completely enough to buy a complete securities company, and it is still the kind of healthy development! But Xia Yu did not intend to do this. After all, if he bought a good company directly, it would not be cost-effective for him, and the cost would be too high. His ability can guarantee that he can carry a securities company by himself. For the time being, he only needs ordinary employees to lay hands and faithfully execute his orders. Outstanding employees can be recruited after the company has become famous, and management capital can also be recruited later. His current funds are completely sufficient for the normal operation of the company in the future, not to mention that he can also apply to HSBC for the use of ten times leverage, so the funds are not what he needs urgently. Looking at it this way, it is that the securities business license is more important to him. Spending the wrong money to buy a good company may not be sold by others. Even if it will sell, it will be high. It is better to get the license directly at a low price. "I have to think about this, I seem to have seen a company that meets your requirements." After hearing Xia Yu''s request, Liu Tianci frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought after speaking. Seeing that Liu Tianci didn''t think about it so quickly, Xia Yu didn''t bother, sitting on a stool and drinking tea leisurely. "Xia Sheng, wait a moment, I''ll get a file first, my memory is a bit vague, I''m not sure, I still have to see the specific file." After thinking about it for a while, Liu Tianci could only go through the files and records. Soon, he got a document and walked out, smiling again on his face. "Xia Sheng, there is really one that is perfect for you. Come and see, it is this one, Liuhe Securities!" Liu Tianci said that he handed the document in his hand to Xia Yu, and let Xia Yu read it by himself. After all, there were too many words and it was troublesome to read. It would be better to let Xia Yu read it by himself. Xia Yu quickly took it over and took a closer look. Liuhe Securities, founder Sun Xiuyuan, the company was founded in 1970. At its peak, it managed 30 million Hong Kong dollars. However, it suffered heavy losses when the sudden stock disaster came in 1976. After many consecutive investments failed, investors stopped losing and returning Stocks, with only less than five million funds left under management, have been lingering and on the verge of bankruptcy. Although Liuhe Securities is not big, the securities company''s licenses are quite complete. Securities underwriting and sponsorship business, securities brokerage business, securities proprietary business, securities investment consulting business and securities trading, securities investment activities related financial consulting business, securities asset management business, margin financing and securities lending business and other securities companies have full licenses. The qualifications are very good! It is estimated that Sun Xiuyuan is very ambitious and wants to create a career, so he has prepared very well, but it is a pity that he has not fulfilled his wishes and has sufficient preparations, but he has not developed. "God helps me too!" After reading the information, Xia Yu said inwardly. This securities company is completely suitable for Xia Yu''s acquisition, and the price is certainly not high. After all, there are only less than 5 million remaining funds under management, and only those licenses are valuable. You still have to meet someone in need like Xia Yu, otherwise the only way to go bankrupt! "I didn''t expect Liuhe Securities to be so miserable, and the management is too rubbish." Xia Yu said with emotion. "Xia Sheng, you are wrong. In fact, Liuhe Securities still has talents, but the pearl is covered in dust!" Liu Tianci corrected him when he heard Xia Yu''s words. "Oh? What''s the solution?" Xia Yu was curious, he wanted to hear how to cover the dust. "In fact, Liuhe Securities has become like this, and it has a certain relationship with the founder Sun Xiuyuan, but the main reason is his son Feixing Sun." "Sun Feixing is the only son of Sun Xiuyuan, and he is an old son. His mother also died because of a dystocia in giving birth to Sun Feixing. Sun Xiuyuan is a treasure to Sun Feixing. He was too fond of him, which caused his eyes to be low." "However, Sun Xiuyuan himself was too old and his energy was declining, so he planned to let his son Sun Feixing take over, put him in the company for training, and let his capable general Wang Qi assist Sun Feixing." "In the beginning, Sun Feixing listened to Wang Qi''s words. After all the investments were successful, he then seized his autonomy. Sun Xiuyuan also acquiesced that Sun Feixing went on to open up. It is a pity that the stock market crashed in 1976. This was something no one could think of. With the highly leveraged Liuhe Securities, it¡¯s unlucky. Many projects have been liquidated and withdrawn, causing heavy losses!" "And Sun Xiuyuan also fell ill in anger and died last year. He only entrusted Sun Feixing to Wang Qi, the investment department manager before he died." "This Wang Qi''s ability is actually very good. UU reading , but it is about love and justice. He was dug out and carefully trained by Sun Xiuyuan just after graduating from university. It can be said that he is an apprentice taught by Sun Xiuyuan. Therefore, although Liuhe Securities is going down He still hasn''t left, his ability is still very good, and I have dug him once, but unfortunately he said he agreed to Sun Xiuyuan, as long as Sun Feixing is still in Liuhe Securities, he will not leave." "In fact, if it weren''t for Wang Qi, Liuhe Securities would have closed down long ago. Wang Qi''s ability to persist until now is also Wang Qi''s credit. Liu Tianci finished speaking in one breath, with a little emotion. This Wang Qi''s ability has been recognized by him. In his opinion, he is definitely an elite talent, but it is a pity that he can''t dig, so there is no way. "So that''s it!" Xia Yu showed his expression clearly. "By the way, Liu Sheng, for a small company like Liuhe Securities, how do you know that it is still recorded on the document, it does not match your identity." Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s ridicule, Liu Tianci smiled bitterly and told the truth: ¡°Actually, Sun Xiuyuan was originally an old employee of HSBC Securities. He was my predecessor. Later he came out and worked **** his own and established Liuhe Securities. Even though he left, But his relationship is still there. In order to borrow the energy of HSBC Securities, he let HSBC Securities take a stake in his company. Up to now, we still have 20% of Liuhe Securities'' shares. It''s a pity that no one wants it. You I almost forgot about this without asking, I had already given up." Hearing Liu Tianci¡¯s inside story, Xia Yu was a little stunned, feeling a little bit dumbfounded. It turned out that Tianhe Securities and HSBC Securities still have this relationship. Speaking of HSBC Securities, it is also a bitter owner, and it has been cheated, although the loss is estimated to be not large. Ps: Three thousand chapters, there are more than three thousand chapters in the afternoon, which is equivalent to three chapters in total, so...please ask for votes! Chapter 106: 9 Ding Securities "Xia Sheng, this Liuhe Securities is just right for you to buy, and the price will never be high." "Moreover, it is a waste of the 20% of the shares to remain in our hands. If I want to, I will first transfer the 20% of the shares to you. If Luhe Securities knows that the shares have been abandoned by us, the purchase price will be lower for you." Liu Tianci suggested. "Then thank Liu Sheng too much." Xia Yu said gratefully. Whether Liuhe Securities has a shareholder of HSBC Securities, the difference is big. If the shares of Liuhe Securities are still in the hands of HSBC Securities, there is still this line, and HSBC¡¯s energy can be borrowed. They are more confident, and outsiders who want to buy Liuhe Securities will have to pay a higher price. However, Xia Yu does not need to rely on shares to maintain his relationship with HSBC, not to mention his relationship with Liu Tianci, just to use financial leverage, which is itself a business that HSBC will provide. You only need to follow normal procedures. As for looking for HSBC as a backer? Xia Yu said that he didn''t need it at all, and he was his patron. In the financial industry, especially the stock market, futures market, and foreign exchange market, as long as there is a certain amount of capital, the importance of ability is infinitely elevated. Xia Yu is confident that his ability will not be bad and it is completely enough to support the company. It is estimated that he also knew about Xia Yu''s situation, and it was not easy to hold the shares and let Xia Yu help HSBC work for free, which would easily hurt feelings. Now Liu Tianci actively wants to sell the shares held by HSBC Securities to Xia Yu first. Then without the shareholder of HSBC Securities, the value of Liuhe Securities will shrink a lot. It can be said that Liu Tianci¡¯s selling shares to Xia Yu is a disguised help. Xia Yu lowered the price and sold his personal feelings to Xia Yu to facilitate Xia Yu''s subsequent acquisition. "I will transfer the 20% of the shares to you now! You can just give me 500,000 yuan, anyway, this is not worth the money, at least I have recovered the capital." Liu Tianci thought about it and said. "Thank you Liu Sheng, then!" Xia Yu thanked him. The price is not high. It is probably the reserve price even if the license fee is included. If he initiates an acquisition with Liuhe Securities, Xia Yu will be at most two million yuan. Liu Tianci did as he finished speaking, and ordered the staff to draw up a contract. Xia Yu also simply stayed here to drink tea and wait. After a while, the subordinate took the contract, and Xia Yu took it and looked at it quickly. With the memories of those big guys, looking at the contract couldn¡¯t be easier, without the involvement of a lawyer. "no problem!" After reading it, Xia Yu signed the contract without hesitation. "Liu Sheng, you can directly deduct the money after it arrives." When the contract was handed over to Liu Tianci, Xia Yu said. "I know." Liu Tianci nodded with a smile. "By the way, I still need to trouble you to get the line." Xia Yu asked. "No problem, Feixing Sun wanted to sell Liuhe Securities for a long time, but no one wanted it. Now you want to buy it, I guess he is too happy." Liu Tianci smiled lightly, this kind of thing is completely easy. ¡­¡­ Then, seeing nothing else, Xia Yu returned to the company with the contract. When the next day, Liu Tianci made an appointment with Sun Feixing, and he also brought the Wang Qi that Liu Tianci admired. At the beginning of the negotiation, Sun Feixing wanted to raise the price, but Liu Tianci told Sun Feixing directly that he had sold HSBC¡¯s shares to Xia Yu. The emergence of this situation completely disrupted Sun Feixing''s negotiation plan and directly allowed him to recognize the reality. Sun Feixing, who originally wanted to sell the company, lost the initiative, and finally calculated based on the company''s total value of 2.5 million, 80% of the shares totaled 2 million, transferred all of his equity, and signed an agreement on the spot to complete the equity transfer. In this way, Xia Yu owns 100% of Liuhe Securities. From this moment, this company with a complete securities license belongs to him! After ¡¡¡¡, Sun Feixing left first, leaving Wang Qi and Xia Yu behind. Soon, Wang Qi briefly explained the specific situation of Liuhe Securities Company. looked at Liu Tianci who was sitting next to Xia Yu. After hesitating for a while, Wang Qi asked, "Boss, are you the one from Jiuding Daily?" When Liu Tianci introduced Xia Yu during the negotiation just now, he only introduced his name, but did not introduce Xia Yu¡¯s specific identity. However, when signing the contract, Wang Qi saw Xia Yu¡¯s name, and he was wondering if Xia Yu was this. Bi Xia Yu. Originally in Liuhe Securities for the past two years, Wang Qi stayed very depressed, physically and mentally exhausted, and wanted to change a place, but because he agreed to Sun Xiuyuan, he kept holding on. She also knew that as long as Sun Feixing was in charge of Liuhe Securities for one day, Liuhe Securities are basically hopeless. Now that Feixing Sun finally sold the company, the fetters that had entangled him finally disappeared. He wanted to rest for a while and then change to another company. But after seeing Xia Yu''s name, he could not help but think of "Jiuding Daily", and then of Xia Yu who wrote stock reviews and business analysis articles. And he has been paying attention to the battle for Dafa Real Estate that shook the stock market some time ago. The thriving Tianwu Securities has been devastated, and no one in the securities industry is not surprised. He knew that it was absolutely inseparable from the "Jiuding Daily", and later he found out that it was HSBC Securities. However, he did not find out what it had to do with the "Jiuding Daily". Just now seeing the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities sitting next to Xia Yu, the relationship is obviously unusual, Wang Qi''s mind is active, and he can''t help thinking of more. If the battle of Dafa Real Estate is really related to Xia Yu, and now Xia Yu has acquired Liuhe Securities, he is obviously ready to go on a big fight, then he does not need to leave again, because Liuhe Securities will definitely be reborn, and the prospects will be It''s clear again. Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, "Jiuding Daily" is mine." "Moreover, I will inject more than 20 million yuan into the company, and then I will need you to help me take care of the company''s affairs." "More than 20 million!" Wang Qi''s eyes widened and he looked at Xia Yu in shock. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to plan to inject capital as soon as he acquired it, and the amount of capital injected was so terrifying. Although the management capital of Liuhe Securities at its peak was around 30 million yuan, and Xia Yu¡¯s 20 million yuan was much less, you should know that the difference between the two is actually very big. The capital of Liuhe Securities was previously raised funds, and investors can forcefully request withdrawal. And Xia Yu said that the capital injection is its own funds, the meaning between the two is completely different! If Xia Yu really injects capital, Liuhe Securities will definitely change shotguns and reborn in an instant. Considering that if Xia Yu really participated in the battle of Dafa Real Estate, then you can imagine Xia Yu''s ability is absolutely strong, with a capable boss, coupled with such a huge amount of funds, Wang Qi has seen the bright road. "Wang Qi, you have to seize the opportunity. Don''t look at Xia Sheng''s young age, but he is better than me. I planned to dig you down HSBC, but since Xia Sheng is your boss, I will I''m sorry to dig people again. In the previous fight with Tianwu Securities, Xia Sheng was the main one. We at HSBC are all helping Xia Sheng." Liu Tianci, who had been sitting quietly by the side, said to Wang Qi, directly telling the inside story. He wanted to help Xia Yu to settle Wang Qi, so that it would be more convenient for Xia Yu to manage the company in the future. Regardless of the time, strength is the respect, Xia Yu has the ability, can suppress the people below. What he said was discussed with Xia Yu. This flower has little effect when Xia Yu said it, but he said it more convincingly. Moreover, Wang Qi will work for Xia Yu in the future. The inside story of the previous Dafa Real Estate battle will eventually be known to him. It''s better to tell him now, which can play a role in conquering him. "Really?" Sure enough, after hearing Liu Tianci''s words, Wang Qi looked at Liu Tianci in shock. After seeing Liu Tianci''s serious expression, he turned to look at Xia Yu who was smiling. "Hiss..." Wang Qi took a deep breath, but the shock in his eyes did not subside, instead it became more intense. The words of the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, Wang Qi is convinced, because Liu Tianci, a big man, does not have to lie to him. But it was because of this that he was shocked. He didn''t expect that such a large handwriting came from the young man in front of him. It was incredible! "Okay, it''s actually normal. There will be opportunities like this in the future. You''ll know when you participate, and that''s it." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said nonchalantly. "It''s getting late, you take me to the company first, I''ll meet other employees first, and let them know that the company has changed the boss." Xia Yu straightened his collar and stood up and said. "Okay! Boss!" Wang Qi took a deep breath and calmed down, his attitude was very respectful. Xia Yu is not only his boss, but also a powerful boss, and he is also stronger than him. He admires all of them, and he can''t help but disrespect him. "Liu Sheng, I''m really sorry for wasting so much time this time." Xia Yu and Liu Tianci shook hands and apologized. "It''s okay, anyway, I''m idle." Liu Tianci said indifferently. "Then I''ll go there first, and I will ask you for tea when I have time!" "Okay, please!" ¡­¡­ Then, Xia Yu followed Wang Qi to Liuhe Securities Company, met other employees, and announced Xia Yu''s identity, which was a relief to the employees. After taking over the company, Xia Yu began to issue instructions: "Wang Qi, all of the company¡¯s business has ceased during this time, and the company has begun to rectify ~ www.novelhall.com~ I took a look and the company¡¯s own funds were taken away by Feixing Sun. Yes, the remaining 5 million is management funds. You return all of these funds. The current terms are not appropriate. After the company is reorganized, everything will be restarted. My funds can be credited to the company account in two days. We are currently There is no shortage of funds." "Understood!" Wang Qi nodded in response. Although it is a pity that the management funds of more than five million yuan were returned, after all, it took him a lot of effort to persuade investors to stay, but of course the boss¡¯s first order, he must be executed unconditionally, not to mention the boss¡¯s funds. This more than five million is not so important. "Also, if you re-register the company, take Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. as the name. If you send someone to do offshore processing, my exposed shares will only be 20%, and the remaining 80% will be hidden for me. Register more. The company, make it as complicated as possible." Xia Yu thought for a while and said again. "Okay, boss!" Wang Qi said solemnly. It is normal for financial companies to do offshore processing, but it is almost always done by relatively powerful companies, just to hide wealth. Now Liuhe Securities, no, it is obviously that Jiuding Securities has not reached this level, but the boss has requested it, of course he will do it. Moreover, this requirement also reflects the ambition of the boss Xia Yu. I believe that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. can develop, so the offshore processing is done in advance, and it is not easy to attract attention. After the company develops and grows, others will not find it. . "Okay, go ahead and report to me if you have anything!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu sent Wang Qi away and sat on the stool with his eyes closed and thought. Ps: Three thousand chapters again, please recommend votes for support! Chapter 107: Chinese New Year In order to improve the "Economic" magazine as soon as possible, Xia Yu personally participated in his free time. With his participation, the "Economic" magazine was built like a rocket engine. After seeing this speed, I was shocked until I became numb behind. Xia Yu originally wanted to create the "Economy" magazine in one go, but unfortunately the new year was approaching and the plan had to be postponed. That¡¯s right, time flies quickly. Unconsciously, it has been more than a month since Xia Yu was reborn. Today is December 28 of the lunar calendar, and the day after tomorrow is New Year¡¯s Eve. In fact, Hong Kong will celebrate two New Years. The first New Year is January 1 of the New Year, which is New Year¡¯s Day. Before this day, countdown ceremonies will be held on both sides of the harbour (Victoria Harbour) on December 31 to welcome the new year. In 2017, this day is almost a global public holiday, and Xiangjiang is no exception. The second is the Lunar New Year, which is the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Xiangjiang will also be celebrated, but it is not as lively as the Lunar New Year. There are three days of public holidays in the Lunar New Year. Generally, one will visit neighbors or return to relatives. Happy New Year at home. New Year''s Day and New Year, Xia Yu did not have it, because when he was born again, New Year''s Day and New Year had just passed. What Xia Yu can still spend now is the Lunar New Year. In fact, to be honest, Xia Yu still prefers to celebrate the Lunar New Year. After all, the Spring Festival has become a cultural symbol, which is deeply imprinted in the bones of every Chinese son and daughter. Even if Xia Yu is reborn, he still has no feelings for the Spring Festival. fade. The meaning of the Spring Festival is very much. Wang Qianli said: The Spring Festival is the most important, grandest and most characteristic traditional festival in China. Chinese people have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years. The Spring Festival is the family reunion festival of the Chinese nation. People return to their homes as much as possible on the Spring Festival to reunite with their loved ones, expressing their eager anticipation for the coming year and their best wishes for life in the new year. The Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also an important carrier for Chinese people to release their emotions and satisfy their psychological demands. It is the annual carnival of the Chinese nation and the eternal spiritual pillar. Deeply said: The Spring Festival is an important carrier of the excellent traditions of Chinese culture. It contains the wisdom and crystallization of the Chinese culture, embodies the life pursuit and emotional sustenance of the Chinese people, and inherits the social ethics of the Chinese people. ¡­¡­ Although there is a three-day holiday for the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong, the media industry is not more related to the needs of spiritual civilization than other industries. Moreover, "Jiuding Daily" is a new newspaper after all. It is at a time when its credibility is rapidly increasing, so it is best not to suspend its publication. Therefore, Xia Yu may have provided overtime benefits at three times the salary and suggested that employees work overtime. It may be because the people of Xiangjiang pay more attention to the New Year''s Day and the Lunar New Year, so there is no conflict with Xia Yu''s overtime requirements. The employees basically agree to work overtime, which makes Xia Yu relieved. Soon, on the 30th day of the New Year, Xia Yu gave all the work to Yan Wenhan. He went home early to set up, and at the same time took his family to buy clothes and various food. Xia Yu also went to see Xia Lei and asked him if he wanted to spend the Spring Festival together. Since Xia Lei didn''t hurt the menstruation and bones, and Li Chunqiu''s medical skills were really good, Xia Lei''s wound was crusted and he could get out of bed. Unfortunately, Xia Lei refused Xia Yu''s invitation and wanted to go back to accompany his mother. , Xia Yu did not force it. And Yan Shining and Yanhong father and son followed along to Xia Yu''s house. After so many days of conditioning, Yanhong''s body has improved a lot, and because it is treated with Chinese medicine, it does not affect Yanhong''s normal activities. As long as he takes the medicine on time, there is no problem leaving for a day or two. In the evening, the family, together with Yan Shining and his son, sat around the table. The table was full of various delicious dishes. Seeing the happy smiles of his parents and younger siblings, Xia Yu was in a great mood. Delightful. During this time, Xia Yu ran away from home, Spring and Autumn Medical Center, and company. There was very little time to go home. It is rare that Xia Yu was so completely relieved to eat together with the whole family. For a time, Xia Yu was full of emotion. Raising the wine glass, Xia Yu dips it up and toasts to his parents: "Dad, Mom, this year is about to pass, and the new year is coming, I wish you good health and all the best!" "Okay, okay!" The smiles on the faces of Xia Dahai and Chen Mei couldn''t hide their smiles. They cheerfully accepted their son Xia Yu''s blessings, and their eyes were full of pride and pride. ¡­¡­ Next, the family enjoyed the reunion dinner together with peace of mind. Xia Yu''s family did not neglect Yan Shining and his son. Xia''s father and Xia''s mother have been warmly entertaining Yan Shining and Yan Hong. When the table was cleaned up after dinner, it was already 8:30 in the evening. Xia Yu walked into the room and took out a stack of red envelopes that had already been prepared. Hongbao is what Xia Yu said. In Xiangjiang, it is not called Hongbao, but Lishi. Li is also known as a red envelope. It is called Lishi in Cantonese and Vietnamese. It is a small gift made by putting money in a red envelope. "Aming, Xiaomei, and Yanhong, come take them, and I will study hard in the future!" Xia Yu took out three red envelopes and sent them to the expecting brother and sister, as well as Yan Hong, who was a little embarrassed but looked forward to. After sending them out, he encouraged. "Brother don''t worry, we will definitely study hard!" Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei said in a loud voice after receiving the red envelopes with cheerful smiles on their faces. Every Chinese New Year, receiving red envelopes is what children most look forward to. It is just because the family is poor and relatives are also poor people at the bottom. Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei did not receive any red envelopes in previous years, and could only envy other children. But I didn''t expect my brother to give them red envelopes this year, and he knew that there was a lot of money in it. Of course they were happy. "Big Brother Yan, thank you for your care during this time, and I will ask you in the days to come!" Xia Yu took out another bulging red envelope and stuffed it into Yan Shining''s hands. Yan Shining did not refuse. Blessing from Xia Yu, although it seems that the red envelope is really too big. "Big Brother Yan, wait a few days and ask Dr. Li, if Yanhong can go to school, I will find a good school for him. He is still young and it is the time when he is studying, so I can''t delay him." Xia Yu touched. Touching Yanhong''s head, exhorted Yan Shining. "Thank you, boss!" Yan Shining said gratefully. There are no parents who don¡¯t want their children to be betterYan Shining certainly wants Yanhong to study hard, and has already come to Xiangjiang, and will live in Xiangjiang in the future. Yanhong must quickly learn Cantonese. As soon as possible into the Xiangjiang River. Now Xia Yu will make arrangements for Yan Hong. Of course he is very grateful. Now his only concern is that Li Chunqiu does not agree to Yan Hong''s going to school. "Dad, Mom, I wish you all the best and all the best!" Finally, Xia Yu took two red envelopes and respectfully gave them to the cheerful parents sitting on the sofa. "My son has grown up, haha!" Xia Dahai smiled happily, his eyes full of kindness. The same goes for ¡¡¡¡''s mother, Chen Mei. A sense of happiness that she has become a long-time child fills her heart. Although elders usually give red envelopes to juniors, Xia Yu has already been able to make money, and he is making a lot of money. If he gives red envelopes, his parents will of course safely accept it. "Go away, Amin, help move out the fireworks and set them off!" After giving the red envelope, Xia Yuchao shouted to Xia Ming, who had been impatient for a long time, and several children cheered and went out holding fireworks. In previous years, I watched other people¡¯s homes set off fireworks. I could only envy myself at the door. But this year, my brother Xia Yu bought a lot. Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei have been looking forward to the time when the fireworks are set off since the afternoon. "Mom and dad, let''s go out together!" ¡­¡­ "àØ...... àØ......" "Wow! So beautiful!" Watching the colorful fireworks bursting into the sky, Xia Yu''s smile appeared unknowingly, listening to the applause and cheers of his younger brothers and sisters. Looking at the smiles on his family''s faces and the longing for the future, at this moment, Xia Yu''s heart is exceptionally peaceful. "It''s great to have a harmonious family, healthy and happy!" Xia Yu was filled with emotion. Chapter 108: New set sail After the New Year, Xia Yu went to the company again. "Boss, congratulations on getting rich!" "Boss gets rich!" ¡­¡­ As soon as he arrived at Jiuding Newspaper Company, Xia Yu took out the benefits he had prepared long ago and handed them to the employees one by one. What he received was the blessings from the employees with smiling faces, and Xia Yu also gave them back with a smile. New Year¡¯s party "lishi" is a common practice of Hong Kong people. "Lishi" is also called "profit", which means good luck and good luck. In Hong Kong, from billionaires to ordinary citizens, most of the "profits" sent out are 10 or 20 Hong Kong dollars, and most of them do not exceed 50 Hong Kong dollars. The purpose of Hong Kong people''s New Year holiday is to spend money to be happy. When "Li Shi" is sent out, you must see a smiling face. This Li Shi is like picking up a joy, and both sides are happy. In order to get a good omen, Xia Yu did not fall, and every employee sent a profit. After ¡¡¡¡ was sent, the formal work began. "Boss, now the first and second volumes of "Looking for the Qin" have printed 50,000 copies each, and they are still being printed urgently. The next batch of printing equipment will arrive tomorrow, and printing workers will be recruited. Wait for the printing equipment to be installed. After that, it will be able to print 50,000 copies a day. If it is not enough, printing equipment will be purchased again to increase output." "According to your instructions, the news has been published in the newspaper that "Xun Qin Ji" will be published. I sent someone to conduct a random investigation on site. Readers are looking forward to the release of "Xun Qin Ji". People who want to buy it accounted for 60% of the survey. " "As for distributors, many booksellers have already received pre-orders. In addition to Hong Kong, there are also booksellers in Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia." "The total order volume of major local booksellers in Hong Kong is 42,000 copies per volume, while the total order volume of Taiwan Province so far is 13,000 copies per volume. Southeast Asia is better than Taiwan Province, with 26,000 copies per volume. The total number of orders for each volume is 81,000 copies. Now we have a large gap in the number of storage. It is now waiting for you to confirm the release time." Yan Wenhan came to the office to report to Xia Yu one by one. After listening to Xia Yu, he was in a good mood. It seems that booksellers have a lot of confidence in "Looking for the Qin", otherwise they would not plan to stock up so many goods for the first time. How can this not make Xia Yu happy. And this is the first batch of orders. After the sale starts, if the market reacts strongly, the bookseller''s order volume will be even larger. It is a pity that Southeast Asia¡¯s total orders are only 26,000 copies per volume, which is still too low compared to the total population of 4.5 billion. But there is no way. After all, "Xun Qin Ji" has always been serialized in "Jiu Ding Daily", and its influence is mainly limited to Xiangjiang. Now thinking about 26,000 orders, it is estimated that booksellers in Southeast Asia have confidence in the quality of "Xun Qin Ji". Only booked so much. Xia Yu only hopes that these 26,000 copies of "Looking for the Qin" can take on the arduous task of opening up the market and spread the influence, so as to play a strong support role in the sales of "Jiuding Daily". "Then send all orders within three days, and then sell them together in five days. The daily sales must be counted as soon as possible, and the number of prints must definitely keep up with the number of orders." Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered Yan Wenhan. "Understand!" Yan Wenhan recorded seriously. "How is our distribution channel establishment?" Xia Yu asked again. "Thanks to the influence of our newspaper, the local distribution channels in Hong Kong have been established very well." "On the other side of Taiwan Province, several booksellers took the initiative to contact us. They were only responsible for selling "Xun Qin Ji". Jiuding Daily could not enter Taiwan Province for the time being." "As for Southeast Asia, distribution channels have been initially established, and distribution partners have been established in the capitals of every country. Now we are still continuing to recruit people, striving to be in line with the "Sing Tao Daily", and we have all the channels they have. ." Yan Wenhan reported truthfully, which is also good news, which made Xia Yu very satisfied. Next, after staying at Jiuding Newspaper Company for a while, Xia Yu went out again and went to Jiuding Securities Company. He also needed to know about the securities company. After all, this company will be Xia Yu¡¯s pocketbook in the days to come. In terms of profitability, Jiuding Newspaper Company is definitely not as good as Jiuding Securities Company, so Xia Yu doesn¡¯t take it seriously. With one hand of money and one hand of public opinion, both can make money and expand their influence, and proceed at the same time. This is the line Xia Yu planned in his heart from the beginning. The influence of public opinion has temporarily taken shape, and now it is less of the influence of money! When he came to Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu found that the signboard at the gate had been changed. The old signboard of Liuhe Securities had disappeared and was replaced by the very grand signboard of Jiuding Securities Company. On the signboard, in addition to the company''s name, there is also an icon, which is in the shape of a tripod. It is made of a gilt mold, which looks simple and elegant, which makes Xia Yu very satisfied. After entering the company, Xia Yu distributed profits to the employees again, and entered his office with Wang Qi in the "Gong Xi Fa Cai" of the employees. "Wang Qi, how is the progress of what I asked you to do?" Xia Yu asked as soon as he sat down. "Boss, the new industrial and commercial business license has been processed, and the legal person of the company has been replaced by you. The industrial and commercial business license is in the cabinet behind you." Wang Qi opened the cabinet and took out the business license and put it in Xia Yu. before. Seeing the real thing, Xia Yu nodded and smiled and admired: "It''s very efficient, it''s a good job!" "Thank you boss!" Wang Qi bowed slightly and said respectfully. "How is the offshore processing situation?" Xia Yu asked again. This is the most important thing. When the company initially hides it offshore, it will be less likely to be discovered in the future. As long as Xia Yu does not admit it, no one can take Xia Yu. Otherwise, after waiting for Jiuding Securities to become famous If you want to hide it again, it will be much more difficult. "Boss, after so many days of processing, once 120 shadow companies have been registered, the equity has been cross-processed. According to your requirements, they will continue to register the company and make the equity more complicated." Wang Qihui reported . "Okay, good job!" Xia Yu laughed. ¡­¡­ After Wang Qi finished reporting his work, Xia Yu thought for a while and said, ¡°The funds have been credited to the company¡¯s account. Now I¡¯ll give you a task. You will reopen an anonymous fifty accounts. You will tell me after you open it. Start executing the plan immediately." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qi lifted his spirits. The boss Xia Yu''s actions indicated that he would not need so many anonymous accounts. He was a little excited and looked forward to Xia Yu''s plan. "Understand, I will send someone to open an account right away!" Wang Qi said solemnly. "Okay, go ahead and report to me as soon as you are done. Time is urgent!" "Okay, I''ll go now!" After saying that, Wang Qi walked toward the door. Seeing Wang Qi''s fierce figure, Xia Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and touched his chin. He remembered the information he had collected for the creation of "Economics" magazine in the past few days, and muttered: "Good luck, just owned a securities company. I found the opportunity, and it is still a well-known opportunity in my previous life. It seems that God wants me to make a name for Jiuding Securities. If I don¡¯t seize the opportunity to make a good profit, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of God¡¯s kindness?" "Qingzhou Yingni...Changjiang Industrial...Wharf...Haha..." Ps: It just happened to be connected to the small climax plot, the next chapter officially enters, the protagonist is about to start sprinting again, ask for recommendation votes! ~: Shelf testimonials It was released on September 1st, after 12 in the morning. The news came a little bit suddenly, and I was caught off guard. But thanks to the editor¡¯s approval, I can be listed on the 1st, which means that I can start full attendance in September. First of all, I have to thank the editor Maple Leaf boss and the editor-in-chief. They gave me yes when I made an internal investment, and then supported and guided all the way so that I could keep writing down and have a chance to be listed. Then, in the 50 days of writing the book, thank you for your company all the way and always encourage and support me. Although some of the plots I wrote were too scumbag, some friends left, it was a shock at the time, but there was no way. Mistakes have been made, and their own pots are on their own. But more friends stayed and pointed out the mistakes in my article. I really appreciate your help and support! Let me talk about the update. Because of the urgent release, there is no chapter to save the manuscript. Last night, the code word was at 3 o''clock in the evening, and the five chapters were saved. However, I said that on the day of the release, I will not regret it. , No matter how hard and tired I am, I have to code it out! 8700 collection, I set a baseline of 600. This standard should not be high. If it does not reach it, it would be really embarrassing. If it is reached, order for every additional 100 and add one more chapter. If there is a deposit in hand, send it directly, if not, it will be owed. Finally, it will be added. Take rewards too. On the day of the release, book friends accumulatively rewarded over 20,000 starting coins, plus one more chapter! (Only for tomorrow) Direct million rewards plus one more! The direct leader adds ten more, (I guess there should be no, but you can relax, after all, ten more is too difficult) (If you want to give a reward, please give a reward on September 1st, can help me get the heat) I owe the chapter and I will pay it back, spit a nail, are men with handles, do what you say! After the book is on the shelves, because it is a part-time job, there is not much time, so I guarantee two updates every day! If the subscription situation is good, then I will resign early in mid-to-late September and code at home for a month. Can I resign in advance to update everyone? It depends on your subscription. Next, let¡¯s talk to everyone about me and the book. Some regrets, the listing was a bit sudden, so there was no recommendation, and I had to go to the shelves naked. The results should not be too ideal. This is also no way. If you have a chance, you can give up. If you have a chance to get the full attendance in September, you can only get 1 The number is on the shelves, I just hope that I will have the opportunity to recommend it again later. Then, let''s talk about my own situation, I hope everyone will not be too long-winded. Friends in the group should probably know my situation. I just graduated in June of this year and I am still in an internship. The monthly salary is only 2500. I have to pay for food and accommodation by myself. I don¡¯t have entertainment and food for a month, so I can save food and save money. It was only 1,500 yuan. You can imagine how shabby the situation is for a man to get this salary. I go to work during the day, and every day is the code word at night, usually the code is around 11 o¡¯clock, sometimes it¡¯s 12 o¡¯clock. It can be said that every word is boiled out. I don¡¯t have so-called holidays on Saturdays and Sundays, and I use them almost all The codeword is like the plot. Unless there is something really important, I will run around the office, dormitory, and cafeteria, and never go anywhere else. Writing a book is not easy. The serialized book is like a rope that binds me and makes me give up a lot of things. In my life, I have been to four county towns, or around my hometown, and I have also been to the city because of mine. The school is there, and I went to Nanchang for an exam. Besides, I haven''t been to anywhere. I feel a little sad. Originally, my brother-in-law said that he would take me to Xi¡¯an on September 13th. Someone would cover board and lodging, as long as the travel expenses are on my own. This is a good opportunity. I really want to visit Xi¡¯an. After all, I have never traveled before, but thought I need codewords, or I will disappoint everyone even more, so I finally gave up with reluctance. At home, there is a younger brother who also graduated this year. Now the family is facing the problem of starting a family with our two brothers and the debt problem left over. The pressure is too great. But my brother makes more money than me, and I can''t stand up as an older brother, so I think about writing novels to make money. If one job is not enough, I will have two jobs to fill it. I can''t be worse than my brother! Now I have about 8,700 collections of this book. I regret that I haven¡¯t reached 10,000 collections. I don¡¯t know how many friends will subscribe on the day it is released. But here, I really want to say something to everyone. Please give me a message on the day of release. First order. I heard from my friends that novels with high collection and subscription ratios, and later recommendationsRecommendations means that more new friends see my book, which will increase my income and improve my life. I know that many friends will read piracy after it¡¯s on the shelves, but I also understand that some of my friends who read my books are students and have no source of income, and I also know that students have a lot of time, so they read more books, if every book All subscriptions are not realistic at all, and life is important. However, I still want to say something to my friends who will see piracy in the future. I wrote and wrote for 50 days and gave me a first order. It is estimated that the total amount is less than a dollar. If I have less than 50 cents in my hand, it should be regarded as I have been working hard for 50 days, so please ask me to eat a pack of Feiwang Spicy Bars, okay? Moreover, give me a first order, and more importantly, help me, help me improve the subscription ratio, make my book a good impression in the editor''s mind, and strive for my recommendation after it is on the shelf. For the sake of our spiritual exchanges for so long, do me a favor, thank you very much! If you have a starting point account, you should try to subscribe to the original version at the starting point, because my income is half of half of the income on the outside station and other channels. For example, if a friend gives me 10 yuan, the starting point will be deducted I can''t get five yuan for tax, and I can only get two yuan for the outside station. Of course, if you have a good financial situation, please give me a full order. The full order button on the web page is at the top right of my book. Without everyone¡¯s support, it¡¯s hard to stick to this book. Writing books is my hobby and my job. Living in this material society is not easy. If you have friends, please support me and subscribe to this book. Let me have more motivation to spend more energy on the plot, write the plot better, and make more friends satisfied! Please, guys! Lao Huang sincerely thank you! (bow!) Chapter 109: 9Ding Securities plan The next day, Wang Qi reported to Xia Yu that all fifty anonymous accounts were ready to be put in place, ready to be used. And Xia Yu''s funds have also entered the company. Xia Yu originally had a capital of 26 million. The acquisition of Liuhe Securities Company cost Xia Yu a total of 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, so the remaining 23.5 million. Since Xia Yu''s plan is relatively large and the amount of funds required is very large, Xia Yu applied to HSBC for a ten-fold financial leverage allocation. The total funds reached 235 million, a very large number. I have to say here that although Xia Yu has established his own securities company, he can still apply for financial leverage support from HSBC. There is no conflict between them. When Wang Qi learned that Xia Yu had used such a large amount of funds, he was shocked, but immediately felt very excited. After all, he had never handled such a large amount of funds. Now the new boss has done such a big deal. I have to sigh that the boss Xia Yu is not an ordinary person. However, Wang Qi only feels that Sansheng is fortunate to be able to participate in such a huge amount of funds. After all, in the Xiangjiang financial industry, not everyone has the opportunity to handle such a huge amount of funds. "Wang Qi, this is the plan I made. Take a look first, and ask me if you have any questions. After this time, I will not answer again." When he came to the office, Xia Yu took out a secret plan and threw it to Wang Qi. After speaking, he leaned back in the boss chair and waited for Wang Qi to ask questions after reading the plan. Wang Qi nodded. He only felt that the plan was extremely important. After all, it was about two billion yuan of funds. He solemnly opened Xia Yu''s plan and read it. At this sight, Wang Qi''s complexion became serious, and the more he looked down, the more shocked he became. In the end, his eyes were full of horror. The companies involved in this secret plan are so scary. He never thought that the boss would dare to move these companies. If he were allowed to come, he would not even dare to move or even think about it. After all, none of the companies involved are not behemoths, and they are not something he can afford. The plan directly involved four companies, Qingzhou Yingclay Co., Ltd., Cheung Kong Holdings, Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa. Of these four companies, none of them are simple goods, one is more scary than one. Let¡¯s talk about the smallest Qingzhou Yingni, an old British company that belongs to the Keynes family. It has a market value of about 80 million, which is the smallest of the three companies. However, the Keynes family¡¯s network is too wide. Swire Pacific is among the shareholders. Swire Pacific ranks second among the four British-owned companies in Hong Kong. It is under the control of the Shi Huaiya family. Swire Pacific''s subordinates include shipping, aviation, real estate, transportation, refrigeration, trade and industry, insurance, agriculture, retail, etc. Big Mac. Cheung Kong Holdings, the company of Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce leader Li Chaoren, went public in 1972. By 1978, the total assets of Cheung Kong Holdings was about 600 million Hong Kong dollars. It was also a giant, and the controller Li Chaoren was a tycoon of Xiangjiang''s rise to fame. Wharf is a 100-year-old company and a British-owned company. It was founded by Sir Paul Standard Chartered of the Keswick family in 1886. The capital structure is under the control of the "Yi" Harmony", together with Hongkong Land, is called "Jiahe Double Wings". The head of Jardines also serves as the chairman of the board of directors of Wharf, which shows that Wharf plays an important role in the Jardines department. Wharf¡¯s industries include most of the wharves and warehouses in Tsim Sha Tsui, New Territories, and Hong Kong Island, as well as high-quality industries such as hotels, buildings, and trams. The resources are huge. Even though the stock price of Wharf is at a trough, its overall market value is between 1.3 billion and 1.4 billion, which is a huge monster. Finally, Hutchison Whampoa, the third-ranked existence among the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong, belongs to the Qi De family. Although it suffered severe damage during the stock market crash in 1973, Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s total assets still have more than 6 billion. Hong Kong dollars. Compared with these four companies, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is a child. Even if the boss used a ten-fold leverage to mobilize more than 200 million yuan of funds, it only surpassed Qingzhou Yingni Co., but in Cheung Kong, Wharf and Hehe Remember that Huangpu is still not enough to see. But now, the boss¡¯s plan is to buy the stocks of these four companies, and the number of purchases is not a lot. Among them, Qingzhou Yingni Company has no upper limit. Although the Wharf with a market value of more than 1.3 billion has drawn a line, it is The lower limit for acquisition is 20%. The more the better, this is not like a financial investment at all. After all, there are too many shares to be acquired. Wang Qi almost thought that his boss was ready to initiate an acquisition. Moreover, just to complete the acquisition of Wharf, 20% of the shares, the current funds of 235 million can not be completed at all, I don''t know what the boss thinks. In moving these companies, Wang Qi can imagine the risks involved. This is pulling his teeth out of a tiger''s mouth. He secretly wiped out his sweat for Xia Yu. He couldn''t figure out why the boss dared to make such an idea. After reading it, Wang Qi gave up the secret plan, still unable to calm down, swallowed, and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, I''m finished reading it." "What do you think?" Xia Yu asked lightly. "Boss, this...isn''t it a bit risky? After all, these companies are not simple roles If it is acquired, we seem to be impossible!" Wang Qi tried to make his tone more tactful , For fear of causing discomfort to the boss Xia Yu. "Who said we are going to buy?" Xia Yu said with a smile and a relaxed expression. "Isn''t buying? Then..." Wang Qi was a little dumbfounded when he heard Xia Yu''s words. He secretly bought so many shares. Isn''t it an acquisition? "I bet these companies will rise! Moreover, there are inside stories you don''t know about. I''m not so unwise." Xia Yu said with a light smile. Xia Yu''s relaxed attitude seemed to have infected Wang Qi and calmed him down. "Then I have no other questions." Seeing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qi said quickly. Since the boss said that there is insider information and it is just pure investment, then he has nothing to say. After all, he knows that he is absolutely inferior to the boss Xia Yu in terms of analytical ability. He reads so many issues of "Jiuding Daily" However, he completely admires the boss''s ability. "Well, according to the plan, we will give priority to the purchase of the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company, followed by the shares of Wharf. The shares of these two companies can be purchased as much as they can be purchased. Unless they are discovered, the upper limit will not be capped. Cheung Kong Industrial The shares of Hutchison Whampoa and Hutchison Whampoa can be suspended, but among these two, the stocks of Cheung Kong Holdings have priority." "My requirement is only one, and that is not to be discovered, especially not to attract the attention of these companies. It doesn''t matter if the speed is a little bit slow, and the process must be kept confidential. Don''t be discovered that we did it. All employees sign a confidentiality agreement. ,Understand?" Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi solemnly and ordered. "Understand!" Realizing the seriousness of this incident, Wang Qi straightened his waist and responded loudly. Chapter 110: Hu who cut Li Superman "Two hundred and thirty-five million funds, I will continue to credit these anonymous accounts, and the first 50 million will be credited later. Each account has one million funds. You will assign the task. Go on, get started immediately when the funds arrive!" "Ok!" "Go!" With a wave of his hand, Xia Yu let Wang Qi go out. He leaned on the boss chair, let out a long sigh, and put his mind back on the plan he had made. Xia Yu has read the history of the rise of Superman Li many times. The rise of Superman Li in the previous life is regarded as a classic case. Many scholars keep studying and analyzing. You can find various articles by searching on the Internet. For example, "On the way to success of Cheung Kong", "Legend of wealth of Chinese richest man-Li Chaoren", "The most classic business battle Bao Yugang and Li Chaoren perform" are countless. At the beginning of 1978, Li Chaoren quietly bought shares of an old British company "Qingzhou Yingni" on the stock market. When the shares reached 25%, he became the director of Qingzhou Yingni Company. When the number of shares reached more than 40%, he successfully sat on the throne of the company''s board of directors. The Qingzhou Yingni Company had hundreds of thousands of square meters of land in the redstone survey area. By the 1980s, it had a lot to do, and it helped Cheung Kong Industrial to take off in the 1980s. According to Xia Yu''s observation, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company has not fluctuated, and the trading volume is normal. This shows that Li Chaoren has not done anything yet. This is a good opportunity. Xia Yu now intends to intervene first and secretly buy the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company. When Li Chaoren starts his hands, Xia Yu raises the stock price and sells the shares to Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren will definitely want it. After all, this acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni involves the development strategy of Changjiang Industrial. As long as Xia Yu doesn''t open his mouth, Li Chaoren will not give up easily. And even if Li Chaoren doesn''t want it, Xia Yu has a way to speculate on the stock price, and sell it at that time and still make a steady profit. In fact, to be honest, even if the price is tripled now, Li Chaoren¡¯s acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni still makes a profit without loss. If Xia Yu does not have a real estate company, how could he plan to make only a lump sum? He would completely intercept Li Chaoren. Hu, directly swallowed Qingzhou Yingni. It''s a pity that Xia Yu has just made his fortune and has not been involved in the real estate industry, so he can only make Li Chaoren cheaper. Xia Yu also knew that Li Chaoren was still secretly buying shares in Hutchison Whampoa. He acquired Hutchison Whampoa in 1979, but for this acquisition, Li Chaoren prepared for three years. It can be said that he started in 1976. Secretly acquired the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. After the subsequent acquisition is successful, the stock prices of Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Holdings will definitely fly. This is why Xia Yu asked Wang Qi to purchase the shares of these two companies. But because time is still long, Xia Yu is not in a hurry, so he ranked these two companies in the bottom two of the four planned. There are reasons why Wharf is ranked second. This takes into account issues such as time sequence and stock price. The current stock market price of Wharf is between 13-14 Hong Kong dollars, and Wharf has issued less than 100 million shares, which means its total market value is less than 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Wharf is located in the most prosperous prime area in Kowloon. According to the current hammer price of official land auctions in the same area, calculated at 6000-7000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, the actual value of Wharf¡¯s shares should be 50 Hong Kong dollars per share. If the site of the old Wharf warehouse is developed reasonably, the value will be even more expensive, even if it is worth buying the Wharf stocks at a price five times higher than the current price. So Li Chaoren saw the opportunity and secretly bought the stock price of Wharf. Although he had to give up because of the strength problem, he changed hands and sold 10 million shares of Wharf to the new world ship king who wanted to go ashore. Yugang made tens of millions after changing hands, and the remaining 10 million shares were later transferred to Bao Yugang at a price of more than 300 million. It can be said that one operation made several hundred million. The Wharf acquisition war was a sensation, and it created the prestigious name of the ship king, and also made Li Chaoren''s reputation so loud, how could Xia Yu not know? How could Xia Yu want to miss such a fame and fortune? If you miss it, it will definitely be thundered! As for taking advantage of Li Chaoren''s opportunity, Xia Yu said that he has no psychological pressure. A qualified businessman would not care about noodles. Why should he feel pressure? What''s more, Li Chaoren is not a rebirth, how could he know that these few operations can make so much money? Even if you know that Xia Yu is ahead of the game, you will only sigh at the same time that the hero has seen the same thing! This time, Xia Yu was well prepared and took it seriously. After all, calculating his assets, the total capital plus Jiuding Securities Company is worth 26 million. If a Jiuding newspaper company is now valued at HSBC, it is estimated to be around 25 to 30 million, and the total of the two companies is more than 50 million. but! As long as his plans for Qingzhou Yingni and Wharf are successful this time, he will earn money in units of 100 million yuan. Then the capital will not roll up! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich, and it is not difficult to operate. Xia Yu is absolutely not allowed to slip away in front of him! Now, we have to secretly purchase, bury the seeds, and wait until the harvest season! Hope everything will be as he wishes! ... Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye it is the day the novel is released. After five days, the major booksellers have already brought "Xun Qin Ji" back home, waiting for this day to come, ready to make a fortune. In these five days, the gains were not small. For the first time, booksellers ordered a total of 81,000 sets of novels. The two volumes totaled 162,000, and they have all been delivered to the warehouses of major booksellers. However, in the next few days, booksellers began to seek cooperation and wanted to purchase goods. After investigating , the booksellers who had already purchased the goods found that the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" seemed to be very high. Increased sales expectations, and sent another order before the sale started. Five days later, "Xun Qin Ji" has not been officially launched for sale, but Jiuding Newspaper Company has already published 114,000 sets of novels. The two volumes add up to 228,000 copies. Among them, the number of Hong Kong local booksellers has increased by 10,000 sets. Adding the previous order of 42,000 sets, the total is 52,000 sets, and the two volumes total 104,000. Taiwan Province increased by 5,000 sets, and the total order reached 18,000 copies per volume. On the contrary, Southeast Asia has increased the most, with an increase of 18,000 sets to 4.4 sets, and the total of the two volumes reached 88,000. The increase in orders in Southeast Asia makes Yan Wenhan and Xia Yu very happy. Although this is not bought by readers, booksellers are not fools. If they are not sure to sell, how can they stock up so many goods? The specific sales volume depends on the sales volume starting today! Chapter 111: New book on sale The Hanlin Bookstore in Mong Kok, an old bookstore that has been open for decades, is in a very good location and its business in the past is also very prosperous. Early in the morning, the door of the bookstore on the roadside was filled with crowds, and there were still people coming in behind. This scene attracted the attention of many passersby. "Beauty, what are you doing? Why are so many people gathered together? Someone is sending money?" A middle-aged man with glasses passing by on a bicycle saw such a strange scene and couldn''t help holding the brakes. When he got down, he asked a young man with acne on his face in the outermost part of the crowd. "Uncle, which store have you ever seen to send money?" The young man with acne rolled his eyes and said helplessly. If it wasn''t for an uncle who asked him, he would definitely start spraying if he was of the same age. If you speak so mindlessly, you know money, money, money! "This is where Xia Yu''s novel "Xun Qin Ji" is on sale. I came to buy "Xun Qin Ji". I didn''t read it in the newspaper. After waiting for so long, I finally waited. I was so excited!" As the young man spoke, his tone became more and more excited, his fists clenched, and his face became a little flushed. ""Looking for the Qin"? Is it on sale today? I have seen it too, it looks good!" The middle-aged man wearing glasses brightened his eyes, showing an interested look. "It turns out that you can watch it, uncle, hurry up. I heard that Jiuding Newspaper cannot print this time. The sales are limited. First come first served. If you don¡¯t buy it this time, you will have to wait a long time. Otherwise, I will also I won''t come here so early, I''m afraid I won''t be able to buy it!" said the young man with acne-faced emotion. "There is still this matter, you must buy it quickly, wait, I will stop the car first!" Hearing the words of the young man with acne-faced faces, the middle-aged man wearing glasses became a little anxious, and he pushed the bicycle to the road after he said it. The side locked up and joined the waiting crowd. As time passed, the bookstore still did not open, and there were more and more people around the door of the bookstore. Many people were a little anxious. After all, they still had things during the day! Many people still have to go to work! At the door of the bookstore, there is a large propaganda poster with the cover of the novel "Xun Qin Ji", which is about to go on sale, and the introduction of the novel. "Why doesn''t the boss open the door? Don''t want to do business anymore?" At the bottom of the crowd, a white-collar worker who has been waiting for the longest looked at his watch anxiously from time to time, his face was impatient, but he saw so many people behind him. I had to wait patiently again. After all, if he left this time, he would have to wait a few more days if it really sold out. How could he be able to wait! It was okay when "Looking for the Qin" was not published. Everyone can''t read it, and my heart will not be unbalanced. But now that "Looking for the Qin" has been published, if someone else reads it but he doesn''t read it, then how can he stand it! It''s not uncomfortable to die! Besides, since 6 o''clock in the morning, I have been waiting for more than an hour, and it is a big deal to wait a little longer. "You will be late if you are late, and you have to buy "Xun Qin Ji" for whatever you say today!" The white-collar thought suffocated. Just as more and more people in the crowd were impatient, at the very end of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a mole on his chin appeared. Seeing so many people around the entrance of the store, he was stunned, but when he heard the people around him talking about "Xun Qin Ji", his face immediately turned into surprise and pride, and he secretly sighed that he was really wise and entered. One hundred and fifty sets of "Xun Qin Ji", each with one hundred and fifty copies, a total of three hundred copies. And now he counted it, and the number of people around his shop was definitely no less than 80. If all came to buy "Xun Qin Ji", then he would definitely make a lot of money. "Hurry up and get the money in your pocket to be at ease!" The middle-aged bookstore owner said secretly. After thinking about it, he squeezed in while shouting: "Let let, let me go in." It''s a pity that the middle-aged shopkeeper didn''t squeeze in after a few times. There were too many people here, and everyone wanted to get it early, which resulted in a tight squeeze. "What kind of squeeze? People from behind understand the rules, don''t squeeze forward!" The man standing in front of the middle-aged shopkeeper was squeezed impatiently, turned his head and stared at him, his face was full of impatientness. The color. "I''m the bookstore owner, how can I open the door if I don''t let me in?" The middle-aged shopkeeper was stunned, and he was in a bad mood. Although he is a customer, he is obviously a seller''s market now. His confidence has increased and his tone has changed. Be tougher. The stunned person blinked his eyes and reacted immediately, his face changed and became very enthusiastic. He quickly squeezed the person next to him and made a please gesture to the middle-aged shopkeeper: "This boss, please Please, open the door quickly!" "Hey, let''s let in, the boss is here, let''s make a way to open the door for him, otherwise everyone can''t buy it!" The man finished speaking to the owner, and then shouted at the person in front of him with a loud voice. . Hearing words from the crowd behind, the people in front all looked behind, and they saw the strange-looking middle-aged boss all at once, and then everyone moved a bit, and a road appeared soon, completely unexpected. It''s still crowded, like a situation where they can''t move at all. UU reading www.udukanshu.com Seeing this road, and seeing the eagerly expectant gazes of the people around, the middle-aged boss was in a great mood and walked towards the store door with his head high. He hasn''t encountered such a scene for a long time. It seems that the most recent time was when Jin Yong''s last novel "The Deer and the Ding Ji" was published in 1972! Unexpectedly, Xia Yu''s "Xun Qin Ji" also has the scene today, and "Xun Qin Ji" is still being serialized! When he came to the door, the middle-aged boss turned around and shouted to everyone: "Wait, don¡¯t squeeze, line up, or I won¡¯t open the door!" He was worried that so many people would come in together and knock down his bookshelves, or if someone secretly took books and left, he would not be able to collect the money alone. Then, seeing everyone starting to line up, the boss opened the door with a satisfied expression. Everyone suddenly squeezed in. The middle-aged boss was crowded and pushed into the shop. What he said just now was for nothing! Seeing this situation, the middle-aged boss hurried to the counter, opened the cash box, and prepared to collect the money! As soon as the long-awaited white-collar worker walked in, he saw "Xun Qin Ji" placed in the center of the bookshelf, the most prominent lender of the entire bookstore. Before he had time to think about it, he quickly took four copies, two books each of the first and second books of "Xun Qin Ji". He wanted one set, and the other set was brought for him at the same time. After taking it, the white-collar worker quickly came to the boss and started to pay. The boss hurriedly helped him find the change, because someone else came to pay. "Hey, don¡¯t take so much for the people in front, just buy your own. If you buy so much by yourself, what about the ones behind us?" A person in the back had sharp eyes and saw that one person took it all at once. There were a lot of books, how could there be ten books, he immediately became anxious and shouted out loudly, for fear that he could not buy them for nothing. Chapter 112: Brilliant achievements It''s a pity that he said this in vain, and the person who took the book gave him a proud glance, making him jump, but he had no choice but to squeeze forward desperately. Buy two copies of this one! Buy six books for that! Buy another four more copies! ... The "Xun Qin Ji" placed on the bookshelf has rapidly reduced the speed visible to the naked eye. The bookstore owner is softened by the money, but the smile on his face is getting bigger and bigger. As long as you have money to make money, you can count on a woolen thread if you work hard! This money is so good! Selling a book makes a dollar, if all three hundred copies are sold, he can make three hundred dollars! It''s a pity that good times are always short, and he can''t laugh anymore soon! Just when the bookstore owner was enjoying it, a disappointed voice rang from the crowd: "Nothing?" "Boss, why are there no books?" As soon as these words came out, the dozen or so people remaining behind suddenly panicked, and rushed to the bookshelves, and when they saw the empty bookshelves, they all became anxious. "I lost it, because the people in front took too much, let them buy their own, and gave us a pit." The popular said anxiously, very unwilling. "Boss, if there are any books left, take them out quickly! I''m still in a hurry to go to work!" A customer said to the bookstore owner quickly. "Is this all gone?" The bookstore owner was also dumbfounded, but he had entered 150 copies of each volume, but that was all? How much time has passed since then! "My money!" The bookstore owner exclaimed, his face full of pain. "It''s gone now, wait a minute, I''ll call them now to send them here!" The bookstore owner quickly appeased them. After speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of Jiuding Newspaper Company. After waiting for a long time to get through, he quickly picked up the microphone and said, ¡°I¡¯m here at the Hanlin Bookstore in Mongkok. Come 150...no, 300 copies!" "Hurry up, the customers are waiting!" The bookstore owner hung up after speaking. Then he smiled and comforted the customers who hadn''t bought the book: "Don''t worry, don''t worry, wait a dozen minutes, the book will be delivered soon, you wait." ... This kind of scene happened at the same time in the major bookstores of Hong Kong. Many underprepared bookstores were sold out, and they had to call Jiuding Newspaper Company. For a while, Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s phone kept ringing, each of which was a call to urge delivery. At the end of the call, there was not enough manpower. The customer service staff could only answer them and let them either wait or pull by themselves. , Many bookstore owners who can¡¯t wait can only abandon their affairs and come to Jiuding Newspaper Company to pull books in a hurry. I have to do this, after all, the money wasted by waiting one more minute. For them, making less money is killing them! ... On this day, many places in Xiangjiang caused traffic congestion due to the panic buying of "Xun Qin Ji". More passers-by knew that "Xun Qin Ji" was on sale. Many people who had heard of it but hadn Faithful fans of "Xun Qin Ji" encouraged them to buy two copies of "Xun Qin Ji" to go home. This situation has greatly accelerated the sales of novels. No matter when, the purchasing power of passerby fans is very powerful! When it was time for the summary in the evening, Yan Wenhan looked at the statistics. The shock in his eyes and the smile on his face could not be hidden. He hurriedly went to the office of the boss Xia Yu, he was going to announce the good news! "Boss, good news, the heat is amazing!" Yan Wenhan said happily, and passed the summary sheet in his hand to Xia Yu. Xia Yu quickly picked it up, and he waited a little anxiously. Seeing the data on the summary table, Xia Yu showed a happy smile and repeatedly said loudly: "Okay, okay!" "Looking for the Qin" sales situation is very gratifying! According to statistics, the owners of the major bookstores in Hong Kong are all sold out, and all bookstores have called to restock. Not only that, booksellers in Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia also called and placed orders again, so that Jiuding Newspaper Company must leave sufficient quantities for them and cannot give the books to other bookstores. Five days ago, the two volumes of "Xun Qin Ji" each had 50,000 copies. Then, in the next five days, due to the arrival of printing equipment again, the output soared again. To date, a total of 220,000 books have been printed, the first and The second volume is 110,000 copies each, adding up the original ones, the total is 160,000 copies each. But up to now, there are still 10,000 sets left in the company¡¯s warehouse, but these 10,000 sets have been ordered by booksellers in Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province. Otherwise, where else can they be left, they have long been waiting at the entrance of the printing factory. The owner of the major bookstores in Xiangjiang snatched it away. Yan Wenhan didn''t dare to tell them there were books in the warehouse, otherwise the jealous booksellers would definitely surround him and rub him. Calculating this way, today, the major booksellers in Hong Kong took 36,000 sets, a total of 72,000 copies, plus the 52,000 sets previously taken, a total of 88,000 sets were taken, a total of 176,000 copies~www.novelhall. com~ In addition, many booksellers in Xiangjiang who did not get the books also placed orders again with Jiuding Newspaper Company, which totaled 25,000 sets. Other Southeast Asia and Taiwan provinces also placed orders again, which totaled 18,000 sets. Now the printing factory has been printing new books non-stop, and the workers dare not stop and rest at all. With this calculation, so far, plus orders, a total of 203,000 sets have been sold, for a total of 406,000 copies. The retail unit price of each book is 4 Hong Kong dollars, which is the unified price set by Jiuding Newspaper Company. Of course, the purchase price of major booksellers is certainly not so high, the ex-factory price is 3 Hong Kong dollars, and the booksellers have a profit of one dollar. Generally speaking, bookstores should sell books at 30% gross profit, but selling "Xun Qin Ji" only has 25% gross profit, but the major booksellers are willing to do so. No way, who made "Xun Qin Ji" so hot? Everyone knows that they don''t have to worry about selling it. Of course, Jiuding Newspaper Company has more confidence and booksellers can only accept lower profit margins. However, although the gross profit is less, the money is made more. After all, it is a hot book, with small profits but quick turnover! Just like an ordinary book, the gross profit is 30%, but you can¡¯t sell a few copies in a day. However, although the gross profit of "Xun Qin Ji" is lower by 5%, it can sell hundreds of copies a day. The difference can be calculated. come out. It is for this reason that the major booksellers agree to the ex-factory price of Jiuding Newspaper Company. The ex-factory price of each book is 3 Hong Kong dollars, plus the unsold but pre-sold orders. Today, a total of 1.218 million Hong Kong dollars has been sold, which is more than one month''s advertising revenue! And because the copyright belongs to Xia Yu, there is no need to pay for the contribution, so the profit is very high! Chapter 113: Continue to soar "The arrangement will go on, three shifts will be printed 24 hours a day, and customer orders must be met, especially orders from Southeast Asia. It must not be delayed!" Putting down the summary sheet in his hand, Xia Yu said to Yan Wenhan with a serious face. "Boss, I have already arranged it!" Yan Wenhan said quickly. Yan Wenhan also considered this, so when he was in the printing plant, he had already asked Zhang Lei, the head of the printing department, to speed up printing. After all, the sales situation in Southeast Asia is related to the sales of Jiuding Daily, so he will naturally not be sloppy. In order to take advantage of the hot trend of "Xun Qin Ji", a statement is printed on the last page of each book, telling readers that the latest content after the two volumes will be serialized in "Jiuding Daily" and will not be published directly. I want to read it as soon as possible. Readers, please pay attention to "Jiuding Daily". The purpose of this approach is to enable Jiuding Daily to increase sales as much as possible when it is sold in Southeast Asia. "Anyway, I just have one request. The equipment should be installed as soon as possible, the sooner the better! The high cost is not unacceptable!" Xia Yu also considered the situation now and in the next period of time, the printing equipment will still be nervous, he simply waved his hand, and directly ordered the expansion, anyway, the money will be paid sooner or later! "From now on, the company''s publishing business has been fought, and a separate publishing department has been established to contact other authors and discover valuable bookmarks for publication." Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered. "Okay!" Yan Wenhan nodded. "Next, there will be "Economics" magazine to be printed. According to the current situation, the printing equipment is still insufficient. The company will only continue to expand in the future. Just take precautions. The printing plant will continue to expand. On the current basis, it will expand four times. The money will be paid sooner or later. It is better to pay later than early, and the money for printing equipment is not expensive!" Anyway, this is equipment investment, even if you don''t need it in the future, you can still sell it, but according to the current situation of Jiuding Newspaper, it is impossible to not need it! Xia Yu only hopes that after the printing plant expands this time, it can last longer. Oh, no, don''t hold on for so long. After all, the shorter time it takes to expand again, the company''s printing business will take off again. Early the next morning, the sales situation of "Xun Qin Ji" was announced by "Jiuding Daily", and "Jiuding Daily" also specially left a section to write about the sales situation, and the lines were filled with pride and pride. With a sales volume of 406,000 copies, how can this not make Jiuding Daily proud? How not to be proud? This is an achievement worthy of a great book! Because it set another record, this sales broke the single-day sales record of Hong Kong''s physical book! Even the daily sales of Jin Yong''s novels were not as high as Xia Yu''s "Looking for the Qin". Well, this is not to say that Jin Yong is inferior to Xia Yu. It is a matter of age. Jin Yong¡¯s last book "The Deer and Ding Ji" was published in 1972. At that time, the economic level and consumption level of the people of Xiangjiang were not so high, even though at that time The unit price of "The Deer and Ding Ji" is not high, but the consumption power determines the purchasing power, which is impossible. Again, those years Jin Yong has been creating non-stop, and Gu Long, Wen Rui''an, Liang Yusheng''s masters of martial arts fiction rob the market, so readers are not short of books. But now it''s different. Jin Yong has already closed his pen, Gu Long fell ill last year, and Liang Yusheng''s works have been written long ago. Only Wen Ruian''s "Four Famous Catch" series are still being written. It can be said that there are not many outstanding martial arts novels that have appeared, resulting in Xia Yu''s family dominating and dominating the market. In addition, it has been a long time since Xiangjiang has published a classic martial arts novel. Readers have been waiting for a long time. Now that "Xun Qin Ji" came out, the desire to buy after years of suppression broke out at this moment! Tianshi and Renhe are on Xia Yu''s side, and the general trend is on him. It is difficult to think that the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" is not high! The above is why Xia Yu''s "Looking for the Qin" can set a record! ... When other people see this amazing sales, they will naturally be shocked. Readers of "Xun Qin Ji" are of course proud. After all, many people recognize what they like, and that means that they have a vision. People can''t wait to tell other people this data. Because of this data, the craze of "Xun Qin Ji" is surging again. Many people who have not bought the book have poured into bookstores. It is conceivable that the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" will rise again, and the phone of Jiuding News will definitely be blown up again. In the novel world, the sale of "Xun Qin Ji" is no less than a depth bomb, which has awakened all colleagues. After seeing this sales result, Jin Yong of Ming Pao wrote a comment with emotion: "Xia Yu¡¯s "Looking for the Qin" is not finished, but it can be concluded as a classic. Xia Yu is definitely a new generation of martial arts novels. The great figures and masters have gathered together, and we hope to create more glories in the future!" The comment was published in Ming Pao the next day, which naturally caused a huge sensation. After all, Jin Yong, who is already a master of martial arts novels, praised Xia Yu highly and said that Xia Yu¡¯s school has become a fact~www.novelhall .com~How can it not cause a sensation? In addition to Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and Wen Rui''an also highly praised Xia Yu and "Xun Qin Ji" on their respective occasions. This has made Xia Yu''s momentum such as the sky, and the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" continue to expand. The other middle- and low-level martial arts novel authors, all as if they were beaten up, think that the market for martial arts novels has risen again. Make yourself famous. It can be said that the launch of "Xun Qin Ji" caused a sensation not only in a wide range, but also in a long duration. The next day, the order for "Xun Qin Ji" increased by 50,000 sets again, of which Xiangjiang contributed 30,000 sets. It¡¯s a pity that the printing factory can only print 50,000 copies per day, or 25,000 sets. Even the 43,000 sets of orders added on the first day have not been resolved, and 18,000 sets are still unavailable. As a result, another 50,000 sets are added. , But owed more, reaching 68,000 sets. On the third day, the order for "Xun Qin Ji" increased by 55,000 sets, of which Xiangjiang contributed 30,000 sets again. Although 25,000 sets were printed, Jiuding Newspaper Company owed 98,000 sets. On the fourth day, the new orders for "Looking for the Qin" reached a new high, reaching 72,000 sets, of which Xiangjiang contributed 28,000 sets, but the number of reservations in Southeast Asia soared to 38,000 sets. Obviously the influence of "Looking for the Qin" The power has begun to spread, which makes Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan very happy. The surge in orders in Southeast Asia is mainly due to the fact that after seeing the sales of "Xun Qin Ji", many new booksellers saw the opportunity and joined in and asked for orders. Also, taking this opportunity, the company''s distribution department has greatly reduced the difficulty of laying out distribution channels. , The efficiency is several times faster. Chapter 114: "Nine Tripod Daily" once again set off But what made Xia Yu both happy and sad is that the company''s owed orders reached a new high, reaching 145,000 sets. But on this day, the urgently purchased equipment has arrived at the printing plant and is about to be installed, and employees are ready. By the fifth day, the printing capacity of the printing plant reached 250,000 copies per day, and 125,000 sets of "Looking for the Qin" can be printed a day, which can definitely ease the order emergency. However, today the company received another 80,000 sets of orders, of which Southeast Asia contributed 45,000 sets, which made Xia Yu very happy. "Looking for the Qin" is getting more and more popular in Southeast Asia. After reading the first two volumes by then, I can only read the serial if I want to read it. By then, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia will definitely not be low. For so many days, the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" have also been watched by other newspapers. From the beginning of shock to the numbness of others, what they can do is to be a salted fish that only shouts 666 and watch "Xun Qin Ji" every day. Sales increased, and then let out a feeling of "total sales increased again". Envy, jealousy and hate can no longer be hated in the end, after all, the gap is too big. Even some newspapers don''t bother to spend a lot of pen and ink to write news about "Xun Qin Ji", after all, it is too common, and there is too much exposure, but news value is not much. ... "It''s really an era of single entertainment. Except for movies, TV series and novels, there are no other entertainment methods. The benefits of physical book sales are too great!" Looking at the new data again and again, Xia Yu expressed emotion. In the Internet era, where the entertainment method is exploding in later generations, the sales of physical books can sell 30,000 copies a day, so how can the sales performance be as good as now. But there is no alternative. In the face of the torrent of the times, the sales of physical books are declining year after year. What Xia Yu can do is to sell a few more copies of "Xun Qin Ji", setting a higher record. Anyway, it''s only 1978, and "Looking for the Qin" can definitely be finished this year, and the circumstances of later generations will not affect him, so he should not worry about it. Because of the expansion of the printing factory, the daily printing quantity finally kept up with the order quantity, and there was still surplus. After a few days, the owed orders were basically still up, and the printing factory workers could also secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After all, every day is like a clockwork. Working non-stop, people are not machines after all, and it is impossible for them to last so long. After so many days, the sales and pre-sale of "Looking for the Qin" has accumulated 250,000 sets in Southeast Asia, and the popularity has greatly increased. Many people have read the contents of the two books and have been looking forward to the subsequent plots, but unfortunately Can wait for serialization. The opportunity for "Jiuding Daily" to enter Southeast Asia has matured, and the people in the publishing department have become very popular because of the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji". The cooperation relationship has been quickly established, and the construction speed of distribution channels has directly increased several times. The channel owned by Sing Tao Daily, Jiuding News, also has channels, and there are some channels that even Sing Tao Daily does not have. It can be said that everything is ready, just wait for the "Jiuding Daily" to enter! This morning, Yan Wenhan came to Xia Yu''s office to report the specific situation in Southeast Asia, waiting for Xia Yu''s instructions. "Wenhan, the time is ripe now. The serialization of "Looking for the Qin" has been broken for a few days, and it will not affect it for too long. Starting the day after tomorrow, the Southeast Asia will be sold simultaneously, and the printing department and distribution department must not lose the chain!" Xia Yu solemnly Ordered. Originally, when the book was published, it was nearly a hundred thousand words ahead of the serialization, just to expand the influence of the novel "Xun Qin Ji", but also to block time, and the serialization in the newspaper would just be connected. Unfortunately, the plan was not able to keep up with the changes. The sales of "Looking for the Qin" were too hot, and Xiangjiang took most of its inventory in one place, resulting in a shortage of books in Southeast Asia before the printing plant expanded again. Because of the hot sales in Southeast Asia, Xia Yu had higher expectations, and he temporarily delayed the entry of "Jiuding Daily" in order to let the heat of Southeast Asia continue to ferment, and then wait until the day when "Jiuding Daily" is released, there will be one A good start. Fortunately, the printing plant expanded again in the future to keep up with the increase in orders! However, it was still a bit late. In order to make the plot seamless, Xia Yu had to reduce the serialization speed of "Xun Qin Ji" on the "Jiu Ding Daily" again and again, but still finished the serialization of the published plot two days ago. Xia Yu Yu had to stop the change directly. In those two days, I don¡¯t know how many people were full of resentment towards Xia Yu and the "Jiuding Daily". Although Xia Yu gave an explanation in the "Jiuding Daily", many people still called the company directly to urge them. No way, fans don¡¯t care about your reasons, and it¡¯s even more unbearable to be sensible. But I just don¡¯t listen to your reasons. I don¡¯t listen to you. You didn¡¯t discuss it! For the fans¡¯ strong demands, the company¡¯s customer service staff couldn¡¯t stand it and reported to Xia Yu. When Xia Yu learned about it, he smiled but didn¡¯t care. What should I do or what I can do? , Or the company¡¯s plan is more important. "Understood, I will get the distribution department ready immediately, and I must guarantee the same day!" Yan Wenhan solemnly promised. In a blink of an eye, two days later, all the "Jiuding Daily" newspapers were delivered to various sales channels in Southeast Asia, and they will be sold simultaneously in the morning. Although it was relatively slow to ship newspapers to Southeast Asia, because Xia Yu didn''t care about the money at the beginning, he chose air freight. He didn''t expect to make money from the beginning, and the initial cost investment was still needed. Wait until later to set up branches in various countries and directly set up printing branches, and then you can directly print and sell locally. ... The Republic of Singapore officially separated from Malaysia in 1965 and became an independent nation. It joined the Commonwealth in the same year. It is an island country with an area of ??only 719.1 square kilometers and a population of less than four million. Although Singapore is a country, it has only one city, and that is Singapore, so Singapore is also a city-state. Although the land is small and the population is small, due to its unique geographical location, it co-manages the important maritime hub of the Strait of Malacca with Malaysia and Indonesia, coupled with its unique national capitalist economic model, the economy has developed rapidly, and it has a common reputation with Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. As the "Four Little Dragons in Asia", the economy is very developed, not worse than Xiangjiang at this time. Moreover, in Singapore, Chinese account for more than 70% of the total population, while Malays and Indians account for a relatively small number. Because the population and economic conditions are similar to those of Hong Kong, Jiuding Newspapers has taken Singapore as the most important station when establishing distribution channels in Southeast Asia, and the distribution point is also the place with the most laying areas. Chapter 115: The worlds first Chinese-language newspaper At eight o''clock in the morning, the newsstand in Shenton Way, Singapore''s business district, was already open. In order to make "Jiuding Daily"''s sales on the first day as large as possible, Xia Yu once again resorted to the method of free supply for seven days. After all, this has been tested and works well, but it is a pity that you don¡¯t need it, not to mention the investment cost. Big. Of course, the practice of providing free newspapers to sellers is also limited to countries in Southeast Asia, and sales are still normal in Hong Kong. Compared with the marketing methods in Xiangjiang, the marketing methods in Southeast Asia lack the direct distribution of newspapers to citizens for free. This is also unrealistic and difficult to operate in consideration of the actual situation. After all, Southeast Asia is too big. Unlike Xiangjiang, where there are a small number of people and a large population, free delivery is relatively easy. Moreover, Xiangjiang is the base camp of "Jiuding Daily" after all, and employees are here. Even so, there was not enough manpower at the beginning. If we arrange for free delivery of employees in Southeast Asia, there would be not so many people at all, so Xia Yu can only give up. There is no way, any means and methods must be in line with the local realities. Direct copying will not work. But Xia Yu didn''t think of other ways. In order to increase the sales of Jiuding Daily, he also came up with a way. That is to post "Jiuding Daily" propaganda posters in major newspapers and magazines, to clearly write the characteristics of "Jiuding Daily" and its brilliant record in Xiangjiang, in order to arouse the curiosity of the people passing by. In addition, the poster also highlights the latest "Xun Qin Ji" content that will be serialized in the "Jiu Ding Daily". This article is aimed at readers who bought the first volume and second volume of the "Xun Qin Ji" novel and let them know the " "Jiuding Daily" is already on sale. If you want to see the latest plot, come and buy it. It is the first time this kind of sorrowful operation has appeared, and many people feel it is very novel. After all, newspapers usually advertise other companies and brands, but now it¡¯s the other way around. Many colleagues in Southeast Asia are also paying close attention. After all, "Jiuding Daily" is the unshakable overlord in the Hong Kong newspaper industry. Even the original overlord "Oriental Daily" has suffered a sharp decline in sales, and finally it was suspended. It is very possible that the closure of "Dongfang Daily" is related to "Jiuding Daily". Therefore, although "Jiuding Daily" has not entered the Southeast Asian market, its reputation has already spread to the ears of its counterparts in Southeast Asia. Now that the hegemon of the Xiangjiang newspaper industry has finally officially begun to attack Southeast Asia, many local newspapers are becoming vigilant. In particular, the newspapers that have the same content as the "Jiuding Daily" are very nervous, for fear that their newspaper will follow the old path of the "Oriental Daily", and its sales will plummet. ... The effect of posting posters is really good. Some people who have bought novels and read them, and have been waiting impatiently for the release of "Jiuding Daily", came to the newsstand after seeing the posters on the newsstand. Buy a newspaper. "Boss, bring me a copy of "Jiuding Daily"!" "Boss, give me a copy too!" ... In addition to fans of novels who spontaneously buy newspapers, the owner of the newsstand also actively promotes "Jiuding Daily", hoping to make a fortune within these seven days. Since the people from the distribution department of Jiuding Newspaper Company came to the door and gave the "Jiuding Daily" free for seven days in Xiangjiang local area, when they showed them the statistics of the sales volume and the amount of money made by the major newsstands, the newsstand bosses were enthusiastic. In addition, the employees of the publishing department were both instigating and tempting him. He also wanted to make a fortune. If there is no precedent, it will be fine, but knowing that Xiangjiang''s colleagues can make a lot of money by selling "Jiuding Daily", his mind is active, and he believes that he will be no worse than Xiangjiang''s counterparts. Because of this psychological inducement, he worked very hard in the promotion of "Jiuding Daily", and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" increased greatly. This scene, which is also happening in other places, can be encountered, and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia will definitely not be bad. Sure enough, in the evening, after Yan Wenhan collected all the statistics, the smile on his face could not be concealed. Yan Wenhan didn''t want to wait for a moment, so he hurried into Xia Yu''s office and handed the sales statistics to his boss Xia Yu. "Boss, the sales results have come out!" Yan Wenhan said and handed the statistics sheet to Xia Yu, who quickly took it over and looked at it. His eyes quickly swept across the statistics table, and the corners of Xia Yu''s mouth became wider and wider. Today, the sales results of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia are very gratifying. The total sales volume is 280,000 copies, which directly exceeds the sales record of "Jiuding Daily" on the first day in Xiangjiang. Among them, the top five countries in terms of sales volume are Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Brunei. Singapore, the highest, sold 70,000 newspapers, and Malaysia sold 68,000 newspapers. UU Kanshu together accounted for nearly half of the total sales. There is no way. Singapore and Malaysia are the countries with the first and second highest proportion of Chinese in Southeast Asia, and they are relatively richer. Although Singapore has a small population, the per capita consumption level is high. Although Malaysia has a population of about six times that of Singapore, the consumption level is lower and most of them are indigenous. The total number of Chinese is actually more than twice that of Singapore, and it is relatively scattered. Therefore, it is logical that the number of newspapers sold is less than that of Singapore. In addition to the data from Southeast Asia, there is another data that is also very conspicuous, that is, the sales data of "Jiuding Daily" in Taiwan Province has reached 20,000 copies, which makes Xia Yu a little surprised. He almost gave up on Taiwan Province, that is, he sent a few people to contact other channel dealers, and did not specifically build his own distribution channel. Unexpectedly, he sold 20,000 copies, and the 20,000 copies were all Those big distributors directly contracted out. "It seems that Taiwan Province is still doing something, but don''t worry, the market is there, and you can''t run away. Let it grow savagely. Now it is important to focus on Southeast Asia!" Xia Yu pondered for a while, and said in secret. At the end of the statistics, the sales volume of "Jiuding Daily" in Xiangjiang once again reached 330,000 copies. Two days ago, "Looking for the Qin" was broken, and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" dropped a bit, dropping 10,000 copies to only 320,000 copies, which also proves that some readers subscribe to the newspaper for the novel. But today, "Looking for the Qin" was re-serialized, and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" returned to its peak. Adding up the local sales in Southeast Asia, Taiwan Province and Hong Kong, the total sales of Jiuding Daily today reached 630,000 copies, which has surpassed the total sales of Sing Tao Daily! Chapter 116: Southeast Asias potential This is mainly due to the fact that the sales of Jiuding Daily in Hong Kong exceeded nearly 170,000 copies of Sing Tao Daily. Although in Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" are still lower than "Sing Tao Daily", but there is no way, even if "Jiuding Daily" goes against the sky, it is impossible to exceed the "Sing Tao Daily" dozens of times a day. The results of years of cultivation in these places. You know, although in Xiangjiang before, "Sing Tao Daily" was second to "Oriental Daily", but in terms of total sales, "Sing Tao Daily" is properly the world''s number one Chinese-language newspaper. But now, Xia Yu is confident to surpass "Sing Tao Daily" step by step and make "Jiuding Daily" the world''s largest Chinese-language newspaper. After all, in the local area of ??Xiangjiang, "Jiuding Daily" rubbed "Sing Tao Daily" on the ground. In Southeast Asia, Xia Yu is also confident. The only slower one is estimated to be in Taiwan Province. Because of certain uncertain factors, it is estimated that the sales of Jiuding Daily will not exceed that of Sing Tao Daily for a relatively long period of time. But when the time is right, surpassing "Sing Tao Daily" will not be a problem! "Fuck!" Seeing the end, Xia Yu couldn''t help but applaud, looking at Yan Wenhan with satisfaction and said: "Okay, good job, thank you!" "Boss, this is what I should do! The main thing is that your marketing plan is well laid out, and the great contribution of "Xun Qin Ji"." Yan Wenhan said quickly and modestly. He didn''t dare to claim this credit, although it was verbal. , But he also reminded himself to be humble at all times. This is his experience in the workplace. "You!" Xia Yu shook his head and smiled when Yan Wenhan signed the contract. "This time the "Jiuding Daily" went to Southeast Asia and made a good start. What we have to do now is to maintain this momentum and then make a new high!" Xia Yu thought for a while and once again exhorted Yan Wenhan: ¡°You must focus on the company¡¯s atmosphere, and don¡¯t let your employees feel arrogant and complacent. This kind of sign is bad. Now the company is still expanding at a high speed. You have to learn how to manage the details. Good management." From Xia Yu''s newspaper to now, the company has been developing at a high speed, and it has expanded too fast. Up to now, the total number of the company has increased by at least five times. Various problems have been exposed, but it is still within Xia Yu''s management ability. And because the company has achieved one after another brilliant results in all aspects, and they have exceeded their peers too much, some employees have not changed their mentality. The company has already had signs of arrogance and contempt for other peers. This is very bad! The Dike of Thousand Miles was destroyed in an ant nest. Although Xia Yu found some signs of this kind, he didn''t take care of it directly, because it was still under control. Instead, he wanted to see how Yan Wenhan would deal with it. It''s a pity that Yan Wenhan was so busy these days that he didn''t find this problem, which made Xia Yu a little disappointed. No way, Xia Yu can only mention him now and let him find a way to manage it. It was not that Xia Yu was incapable, but that he knew that he couldn''t always follow Jiuding Newspaper Company. He already has Jiuding Securities Co., and there will be more companies in the future. His energy is limited. When he stays at Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. for a short time in the future, he may not be able to discover such deeper problems. If Yan Wenhan can''t find out at that time, it will be troublesome, and it will be easy to fall into trouble! Therefore, it is better to consciously temper Yan Wenhan now and accelerate his growth. When Xia Yu wants to give him the courage of the company, he has enough ability to pick it up. Talents are all accumulated through tempering and experience! It can be said that Xia Yu is well-intentioned! "I understand, I will definitely pay attention to management!" After hearing Xia Yu''s words, the smile on Yan Wenhan''s face disappeared, he pursed his mouth, took a deep breath, and said solemnly. He can feel that the boss values ??him, so he will not disappoint the boss Xia Yu''s expectations! ... The next day, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Xiangjiang remained stable at 330,000 copies, and the growth was very slow. However, in Southeast Asia, sales rose again by 20,000, reaching 300,000 copies, which is only 30,000 copies short of the local sales of Hong Kong. No way, the population base is there. There are four to five billion people in Southeast Asia compared to the millions of people in Xiangjiang. There are tens of millions in Southeast Asia alone, more than ten times that of Xiangjiang. And basically, the living standards of the Chinese people over there are in the middle and upper class, and the potential lies there. It''s no problem that the sales of Jiuding Daily exceed Xiangjiang. According to the current growth trend, the time to surpass will be within a few days! Xiangjiang''s economy is the vane of Southeast Asia. Some Chinese want to keep abreast of the economic development of Xiangjiang. As the largest financial and commercial newspaper in Xiangjiang, "Jiuding Daily" is definitely their best choice! It is impossible for them to be willing to spend a low price to obtain expensive information! On this day, the sales of "Looking for the Qin" in Southeast Asia suddenly soared by nearly 40,000 sets. Yan Wenhan also made a lot of calls to investigate the cause, and learned that it was because many new users who bought "Jiuding Daily" saw the novel. After that, I wanted to read the previous content, so I bought the first two volumes of "Xun Qin Ji" to make up the plot. This trend was quickly discovered by major booksellers with a keen sense of smell, and they came to place orders again. Fortunately, the printing plant has expanded four times, and the daily printing volume of books has reached 250,000. That''s 125,000 sets of novels. But even with such a large capacity, it is still filled with crazy orders. But this time, Xia Yu did not immediately ask for the expansion of the factory. After all, he expanded twice in a short period of time. Many old employees have become team leaders of various production teams. If they expand again, there will not be enough experienced veterans. , There will be problems in management. Therefore, Xia Yu decided to settle for a while. The factory will be fully loaded when it is fully loaded. This full-load situation will not last for a particularly long time. When the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" passes, it will naturally be much better. ... After the company got off work, Xia Yu drove home by car. Leaning on the seat, Xia Yu stretched out and relaxed. The company''s affairs are really busy these days. Not only must he always pay attention to the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" and "Jiu Ding Daily", but also participate in the establishment of "Economic" magazine. In addition, he also needs to go to Jiuding Securities Company to handle affairs from time to time, because it was not long after the acquisition of the company, it was when Xia Yu needed great efforts to reform and manage, he needed to deal with many miscellaneous affairs. In addition, the funds in Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. are so huge, reaching 235 million. Xia Yu dare not relax at all. You must always pay attention, otherwise if something goes wrong with the funds, he will definitely be given to him. Miserable. Also because of so many tasks, Xia Yu, despite his strong ability, is still a bit busy and tired. You must do everything yourself, Zhuge Liang was so exhausted in ancient times! He still lacks the ability to solve his problems! Chapter 117: Finally free After resting for a while, Xia Yu said to Yan Shining who was driving: "Brother Yan, I asked Master Li that Yanhong¡¯s illness requires a long time to be treated, but he can go to school and it will not affect the treatment. I plan to Put Yanhong in a school with my brother and sister." "Thank you, boss, I will listen to your arrangements!" Yan Shining said with a grateful expression, turning his head while driving. His parents died early, and after his wife died unexpectedly, his son Yanhong became his most important person. It was related to his son¡¯s education, but it was a major life event. He was limited in ability and could not give his son a good education. Now the boss He took responsibility personally, and was still in the same school with the boss''s younger brother and sister, and knew that it was a good school without even thinking about it. Now he can finally relax. He once again made up his mind secretly, that in the future, he must protect the boss and solve his problems! ... After returning home, after eating, Xia Yu stopped the younger brother and sister who wanted to watch TV. Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to have something to say, Xia''s father and Xia mother sat and waited for Xia Yu''s thoughts. "Parents, school is about to start in five days. I plan to transfer Amin and Xiaomei. The teaching quality of the middle school they studied before was not good. Aming and Xiaomei are so smart. Don''t be delayed." Xia Yu saw He glanced at his family and said slowly. Xia Dahai nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, since the family has the conditions, then Amin and Xiaomei must be sent to a better school." Mother Chen Mei nodded in deep agreement. Parents want to give their children the best things they can, and knowledge education is something they can''t give, but they want their children to get the best education. Now Xia Yu can make money so much, the Xia family has enough money to study, and they can choose a better school so that Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei can receive a better education. Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei saw the conversation between their elder brother and their parents. Although they were related to them, they did not dare to express any opinions. They were just looking forward to the new school. The school they went to before had poor school hardware, they were all children from poor families, and the school atmosphere was very bad. Although after the transfer, it is difficult to meet those who were very close friends before, but they also know that they have no say in the transfer and can only listen to the arrangements of their parents and brothers. "Then Ayu, where are you going to let Aming and Xiaomei go to study?" Xia Dahai asked concerned. Xia Yu smiled and said: "I have already inquired about. The atmosphere of Diocesan College is very good, and the teaching level is also very high. So Amin was asked to go to Diocesan Boys'' College and Xiaomei Diocesan Girls'' College to study. Very close." Diocesan Boys'' School is a school set up by the East Kowloon Diocese of the Hong Kong Anglican Church. It was established in 1869. It has a secondary school and a primary school. It is one of the 22 aid schools of the Xiangjiang Grant School Council. The address is located at Argyle Street, Homantin, Kowloon. It is a full-time school that only accepts boys. Many officials, businessmen, and cultural celebrities in Hong Kong graduated here. Students have achieved outstanding results in public examinations, and have achieved outstanding results in sports, academic and music competitions. It is a traditional school. This is a private school. Xia Ming studies in it. When he grows up, it will be of great help to him in terms of contacts. Diocesan Girls'' College, founded in 1860, was also founded by the Hong Kong Anglican Church. It is a women''s grammar high school in Hong Kong with an international vision. It can be said that these two schools rank very high in Hong Kong, and they are among the top schools in the Kowloon area. They are very suitable for Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei to study. Although it takes some formalities to transfer Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei, you have to see who Xia Yu is. Although his current influence is not particularly large, it is still possible to transfer to younger brothers and sisters, and it is a big deal. You can smash in with money. "That''s good, I also heard that these two schools are prestigious schools. A Ming and Xiao Mei will definitely learn something when they enter!" Chen Mei''s face was very satisfied. He had also heard of these two middle schools when he was chatting with others. , Good reputation. "Brother Yan, Yan Hong, I''m going to also let him go to Diocesan Boys'' School, to the elementary school. It happens that both the middle school and the elementary school are in the same place." Then, Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining and asked. "Thank you boss!" Yan Shining quickly agreed. "Then A Yu, how about you?" After hesitating for a while, Xia Dahai still said the words. Hearing her husband''s question, Chen Mei also looked at her elder son Xia Yu nervously. Now they dare not be the master of Xia Yu. They know that their son is very capable and thoughtful, and everything can only be done by Xia Yu''s wishes. They have no culture and hope that Xia Yu will continue to go to school, but now that his son is so outstanding and has his own career, they are also very entangled, not only want Xia Yu to continue school, but also fear that Xia Yu''s school will cause business problems and family life. The level is back to what it was before. With the arrival of the school season, this kind of emotions about gains and losses are getting stronger and stronger, making both the couple sleep well. Xia Yu put away his smile and sighed lightly. The day finally came. "Dad, mom, I won''t go to school anymore. I have learned what I should learn. Reading is of little significance to me. I am busy with my career now can''t get away , No time!" Xia Yu said slowly while looking at his parents seriously. After speaking, Xia Yu only felt completely clear, and the last layer of restraint had completely disappeared. Hearing what Xia Yu said, despite being psychologically prepared, Xia Dahai and Chen Mei were still a little disappointed. Chen Mei wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xia Dahai. "A Yu, your mother and I have no culture and know nothing. Now that you have decided, your mother and I will support you. Our Xia family has fished for generations and lived at the bottom. The only way to change the fate of the family Depend on you, work hard so that all future generations will follow and enjoy the blessing." Xia Dahai said with a sincere smile, with some longing in his eyes, as if he had seen the scene of the Xia family becoming a super wealthy. "Aming, Xiaomei, your eldest brother is a Wenquxing star and he knows a lot by nature. It doesn''t matter if he doesn''t go to school, but you don''t have the brains of your elder brother. You must study hard and help your elder brother in the future, you know?" Dahai again taught Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei earnestly, for fear that they would learn from Xia Yu, that would be bad. "Yes!" "Dad, don''t worry, I must study hard and help my brother when I grow up!" Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei looked serious and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Seeing the sincere expressions on the innocent and innocent faces of Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei, Xia Yu smiled, patted Xia Ming on the shoulder, and touched his sister''s head, encouraging: "You have to work hard. Reading, parents don¡¯t clean up you, I will clean up you, you know?" "Don''t worry, brother!" "Okay, let''s take a shower, and rest early after the shower!" Xia Yu said to his younger brothers and sisters, and stood up after speaking. "Parents, I''m going to the room first." After that, Xia Yu walked towards the stairs. Chapter 118: HSBC Taipan Shen Bi In the morning, after dealing with the company''s affairs, Xia Yu came to the fifth floor of Jiuding Newspaper Company. After so many days of polishing and carving, errors and loopholes were found out little by little, and the establishment of "Economics" magazine was nearing completion. "Xia Sheng, there are not big problems in other places. According to the plan of the magazine, there is still a very important piece missing. That is the cover character of the magazine. This can only be up to you!" Lin Shanyuan said with a smile after Xia Yu read the establishment of "Economics" magazine. Only after this last step, "Economics" magazine is about to take shape! "Economics" magazine grew out of nothing, and Lin Shanyuan participated in every step. Up to now, "Economics" magazine has basically taken shape. It is precisely because of the knowledge of "Economics" magazine that he is satisfied with his heart and feels a sense of accomplishment. His heart echoed. Although the "Economic" magazine has not yet formed and there is still a period of time before the official external sales, he can definitely say that the "Economic" magazine will definitely be an instant hit, and the entire Xiangjiang, or even the entire Southeast Asia, has no A financial magazine can be comparable. "Economics" magazine will definitely be popular throughout Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and will become a popular reading material for the upper class. As an important participant in the construction of "Economics" magazine and a person with the right to sign, Lin Shanyuan is looking forward to that day. Life is alive, either for fame or for profit! He taught and educated people throughout his life. Because what he learned was economics, many businessmen would come to him for help. It can be said that he wandered in the upper class. He is not a person who loves money. In essence, he is a scholar, so he values ??his reputation very much. He was able to be moved by Yan Wenhan at the beginning, and he was shocked by the planning book given by Yan Wenhan, and he also considered it. The success is very high, so I absolutely participated in it outright, and also called in my close friend Xu Zhixue. Everything is about to be done now, and there is only one final cover character. He has no choice but to look at Xia Yu. "Professor Lin, don''t worry, I made an appointment yesterday, and I will go to interview this morning, and I will go out myself!" Xia Yu smiled, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. "Oh? Who is it? Is it worth Xia Sheng to go yourself?" Professor Xu Zhixue, who had been listening quietly by the side, couldn''t help but ask first, he was a little curious who was worth Xia Yu''s visit. The person on the cover of "Economic" magazine, and also the cover of the first issue, according to the plan, must be a heavyweight person enough, only in this way can the authority of "Economic" magazine be increased, and it can also create a greater sensation. Increase the success rate of "Economy" magazine. Going to interview such a person must not be taken lightly. But it is not yet at the point where Xia Yu, the leader of Jiuding Newspaper Company, is required to come forward. After all, the influence of "Jiuding Daily" is so great, not everyone has such a big frame and needs Xia Yu to come forward. "HSBC Chairman Shen Bi!" Xia Yu said slowly, with a serious tone. "It turned out to be him, then it is reasonable!" Xu Zhixue nodded slightly when he heard Xia Yu''s answer. Lin Ruyuan also showed a clear look. "It''s almost time, I''ll pass it first!" After speaking, Xia Yu walked toward the door. It is estimated that the interview team is ready and waiting for him outside. Soon, Xia Yu led the interview team to the door of HSBC''s headquarters. Seeing Xia Yu coming, a receptionist who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him. "Xia Sheng, the chairman is in the office, please follow me!" Then, Xia Yu followed the reception staff to Shen Bi''s office. As he passed the lobby, the long and short shots also attracted the attention of some customers. Soon, Xia Yu saw Shen Bi, he greeted him with a smile, and shook hands with Shen Bi who had also walked over. "Shen Sheng, hello!" "Xia Sheng, hello!" Shen Bi also greeted Xia Yu with an enthusiastic smile, without the slightest negligence or arrogance. This attitude made Xia Yu nod secretly. He is worthy of being a long-sleeved Englishman with a long-sleeved dance and a deep Chinese cultural essence. HSBC is developing rapidly in his hands. Before Xia Yu came to interview Shen Bi, people collected information about him and made some understanding. In fact, there is no need to look at the information. There are many memories in Xia Yu''s mind about Shen Bi, which are more complete than the information collected by the company. Shen Bi came to Hong Kong in 1948 and joined HSBC Bank. He worked in Singapore and Japan HSBC branches for several years. In 1971, he served as general manager. In 1977, he was appointed as the chairman of HSBC Bank until his retirement in 1987. During his tenure, HSBC''s profitability grew rapidly, and its business development reached its peak. He has a strong and bold style, and has close relationships with Chinese business people. In 1979, he sold all the common shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC to Cheung Kong, which helped Li Chaoren''s transformation. In 1980, another HK$2 billion was used to support Bao Yugang''s purchase of a controlling stake in Wharf, helping the shipowner to go ashore, causing a sensation. In 1985, it also spent 5 billion yuan to build the HSBC Headquarters building, and another US$3.1 billion to purchase a 51% stake in the American Ocean Mirand Bank. This shows the strong strength of HSBC under his leadership. Therefore, the people of Xiangjiang call him "the king of the big pan". . It can be said that the rise of many Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong cannot be separated from his help, and his position is not particularly biased towards the British, otherwise he would not help Li Chaoren and Bao Yugang to annex British giants. Although it is only 1978, those sensational handwritings have not yet occurred, and his prestige is not particularly high, but in fact it is not low anymore. Just his position as chairman of HSBC Bank has allowed him to board. At the pinnacle of Heung Kong''s power, his influence is very strong in both political and business circles. With him as the cover character of "Economics" magazine, the weight is definitely enough, no one will have objections! "Economics" magazine will also cause a sensation because of Shen Bi as the cover character. It can be said that he uses his influence to promote the magazine. Moreover, now that Shen Bi is willing to accept Xia Yu''s interview, it is because Xia Yu is the helm of "Jiuding Daily" and is also a major customer of HSBC, selling a love to Xia Yu. Otherwise, a magazine that has not yet come out and whose influence and future are unknown would not have the qualifications to allow him to waste precious time to take over the interview and use his influence. Moreover, even if all of Xia Yu¡¯s assets and influence add up, in front of Shen Bi, a top boss, it is still not enough to look at It is precisely because Shen Bi gives face, Xia Yu also knows that Huahua sedan chair people carry it. People, so he rejected Yan Wenhan''s proposal and decided to interview Shen Bi himself and give him enough respect. Similarly, Xia Yu also intends to take this opportunity to get to know Shen Bi. After all, the Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa will not be able to get around Shen Bi, so he must have a relationship with Shen Bi and leave one behind. Good impression. After all, even if Xia Yu uses an anonymous account to buy stocks, as long as Shen Bi wants to know, he still can¡¯t hide from Shen Bi. After all, he used HSBC¡¯s funds to allocate funds, which is still a huge number of 200 million. Shen Bi must know. It must have been approved by him, and HSBC has the right to monitor funds to ensure the safety of funds. It is one thing that Liu Tianci has the right to give ten times leverage, but there is definitely a capital limit, which involves 200 million funds. Xia Yu also does not believe that Liu Tianci has the right to call the shots. The only thing that can do is Shen Bi. Anonymous account operation can only be hidden from other companies except HSBC. Unless Xia Yu has his own bank and the funds are only transferred in his own bank, the greatest possible confidentiality can be achieved. But now Xia Yu doesn''t have his own bank. Even if he is constrained by HSBC, there is no way he can do it. If his strength is insufficient, what can he do? You can only recognize the reality, develop desperately, and strive to close your financial company as soon as possible! It¡¯s just because I promised a few book friends when I first published the book, so even though most of my friends don¡¯t know my ten-shift promise, I still implement it, just because I made my promise. , I stayed up until three o''clock last night to finish the five chapters, today day and night, the code will not be finished until 11:30, the whole head is about to explode, but I have no regrets, I have not blamed you, please subscribe!

If there is no dream, what is the difference with salted fish! Please help me! Please, everyone! Chapter 119: "Economy" magazine released After exchanging a few words with Shen Bi, Xia Yu sat down with him face to face, drank tea and chatted, mainly Xia Yu said and Shen Bi listened, the main content was to introduce the basic situation of "Economy" magazine. When he learned that "Economics" magazine aims to become a top financial magazine, and is still benchmarking the two magazines "Forbes" and "Fortune", Shen Bi raised his brows, revealing a look of interest. Although he is British and does not work in the United States, Forbes and Fortune are American magazines. However, such world-renowned financial magazines have long been influential throughout the European and American world. Of course, he is not unfamiliar. Now I suddenly heard that the "Economy" magazine that Xia Yu wants to build aims at these two. It seems that Xia Yu is not very young, but his ambition is not small! Regardless of other things, but the name of this magazine gives the magazine a good foundation. After hearing about Xia Yu¡¯s general plan, Shen Bi was also a little relieved, because if according to Xia Yu¡¯s statement, as long as it is done well, can it become a world financial magazine, alongside Forbes and Fortune. It''s hard to say, but at least in Xiangjiang and even in Asia, it is still very promising to become a top financial magazine. "Shen Sheng, your time is precious, so I won''t take up your time any more. Or, shall we start now?" After three rounds of tea, Xia Yu put down the cup and asked with a smile. "Yes, then I''ll follow your instructions." Shen Bi said with a smile, tidying up his clothes. Then, Xia Yu asked the shooting team to set up the equipment and started the interview. "Shen Sheng, may I ask..." ... As time went by, after asking all the prepared questions, Xia Yu ended the interview and ordered the team to pack the equipment. "Shen Sheng, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accept the interview. When our magazine comes out, we will send it to you as soon as possible." Xia Yu stood up and thanked again. "Haha, I should thank Xia Sheng for interviewing me. As the cover character of the first issue of your "Economic" magazine, it is an honor to look forward to your magazine!" Shen Bi and Xia Yu shook hands and laughed. "It''s getting late, then we won''t bother you, see you next time!" After being sent out by Shen Bi, Xia Yu took the team and rushed back to the company, and then handed the interview materials to the Minister of Information Sun Xin as soon as possible, asking him to sort out the materials and write a press release as soon as possible. Sun Xin didn''t dare to neglect the task assigned by Xia Yu himself. After handing over the work to his deputy, he immediately took action. In the morning of the next day, after reviewing the press release again and confirming that there were no errors, Sun Xin handed it over to Xia Yu. After reading Sun Xin''s manuscript, Xia Yu revised it again, then called Yan Wenhan in again, handed him the manuscript, and let him take care of the next thing. ... In the afternoon, Yan Wenhan walked into Xia Yu''s office with joy, holding the model of the first issue of "Economics" magazine in his hand, coming to Xia Yu and handing it respectfully to Xia Yu. "Boss, the model of the first issue of "Economics" magazine is here, please take a look." "Let me see!" Xia Yu quickly took over the hotly published magazine from Yan Wenhan, and the first thing that caught his eye was the photo of Shen Bi on the cover. "This photo was taken very well! It can greatly enhance the taste of "Economic" magazine!" Xia Yu praised. In the photo, Shen Bi has a solemn face. Although it is only a photo, the aura of the boss is still coming. It seems that the photographer¡¯s technique is very good, and the angle selected is good. Xia Yu has made up his mind to shoot this way in the future. The task was directly entrusted to him. Then, Xia Yu opened the magazine and began to browse page by page, the more satisfied the smile on his face became. This magazine completely met his strict standards, and in some places it exceeded his expectations. It can be seen that Lin Shanyuan and others really took great care to create this magazine. In terms of material, the paper used is also very good, and the entire magazine is color-printed, the workmanship is very exquisite, and it looks high-end. Although the cost is relatively high, Xia Yu¡¯s magazine is mainly aimed at mid-to-high-end people and expands its influence among mid- and high-level people. They are the owners of good money. As long as the magazine is worth the money, they are absolutely willing to pay. buy. Moreover, as "Economics" magazine, which is determined to become the world''s top magazine, the design and paper of the magazine itself are not good enough. How can it compete with other magazines? "This magazine is ready for publication! Fully up to standard!" At the end, Xia Yu closed the magazine with satisfaction and smiled and said to Yan Wenhan. Hearing such a high evaluation from the boss Xia Yu, Yan Wenhan''s face was also full of smiles, and it was not in vain that he spent a lot of energy on supervision and management, and finally completed the boss''s task! However, thinking of the actual situation in the printing plant now, the smile on Yan Wenhan''s face slowly faded, revealing a look of embarrassment. "If you encounter any difficulties, let''s talk about it." Seeing Yan Wenhan''s unconcealed expression, Xia Yu smiled and asked. "Boss, your "Xun Qin Ji" is still on hot sale. The printing factory is still printing at full capacity. There is not enough output to print "Economy" magazine. What do you think about this?" Yan Wenhan spit out the truth, said After that, his expression became more relaxed, and he looked straight at Xia Yu, "Xun Qin Ji" is the boss''s book, this matter can only be left to the boss to decide. After hearing this, Xia Yu was taken aback, then shook his head slightly, a little bit dumbfounded. I thought that some difficulties hindered the publication of "Economics" magazine, but he did not expect it to be his novel. But it is impossible for him to stop printing "Xun Qin Ji" and print "Economy" magazine instead. No matter who it is, thinking rationally, it is impossible to make such a decision. First of all, we have to face the problem of making money. Every time I sell a copy of "Looking for the Qin", we are making money for Xia Yu and also making money for the company. This is the most obvious thing we can think of. Only fools can do such things. Another reason is the most important, that is, the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" are also continuously feeding back to "Jiuding Daily" and increasing the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia. Although in Xia Yu''s plan, "Economics" magazine is another subsidiary of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Optimus Prime, but this Optimus Prime has not yet appeared, and has not yet been established! But now the company¡¯s Optimus Prime is "Jiuding Daily", which is the most fundamental. No matter how important the "Economy" magazine is, it must first stand aside. Now is the best time for "Jiuding Daily" to conquer the city in Southeast Asia, and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" should not be affected by internal reasons. Otherwise, if this happened, and then caused adverse effects, Xia Yu would definitely be laughed at by other colleagues! There are only two solutions. Either continue to expand the printing plant and increase printing output, or postpone the publication of "Economy" magazine for a few days, and wait until the printing plant has surplus capacity before launching "Economy" magazine outside. It is a pity that the former method is not suitable for Jiuding Newspaper Company, because the printing plant is not suitable for expansion in a short period of time, so the "Economic" magazine can only be wronged! Moreover, the postponement of some publications of "Economics" magazine will not have any negative effects, which is completely acceptable. Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Yan Wenhan: "Wenhan continue to print "Xun Qin Ji". At this stage, "Jiu Ding Daily" is more important and our foundation. Nothing can happen. The issue of "Economy" magazine The plan is postponed. When the printing plant has surplus capacity, you immediately notify me and arrange for someone to start printing the first issue of the magazine." "Okay, boss!" Yan Wenhan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded. "By the way, boss, do you want to talk to Professor Lin and the others about this matter? I see that they are looking forward to the release of the magazine." As if thinking of something, Yan Wenhan said again. "You go... no, let me talk to them." Xia Yu just said, thinking that something was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words. After speaking, he stood up and walked out, ready to go to the fifth floor. Although Lin Shanyuan and others collect money for Xia Yu to do things, they are not mainly for money, more importantly for fame. Now that the magazine finally came out, because of the company¡¯s reasons, they couldn¡¯t publish it immediately. There is disappointment. These people are related to the later publication of "Economics" magazine. Xia Yu still intends to come forward and explain to them, so as to calm their emotions and at least show his attitude. Chapter 120: Li Chaoren did it? When they came to the fifth floor, Xia Yu showed them the newly printed magazine. Lin Shanyuan and others immediately took it over and flipped it through. The more they looked, the more satisfied they were, and each face was full of smiles, full of praise. "Xia Sheng, I don''t know when this magazine will be officially launched?" Lin Shanyuan said with a smile, with some expectation on his face. "Professor Lin, and everyone, because of the production capacity of the printing plant, the printing and distribution of "Economic" magazine has to be pushed back." Xia Yu said regretfully. "This..." Lin Shanyuan smiled, thinking of the sale of "Xun Qin Ji", he was speechless. Although he doesn''t read novels, after all he is in Jiuding Newspaper Company and he still understands the company''s dynamics. He knew that now is the time when "Xun Qin Ji" is on sale, and it is also related to the expansion of "Jiu Ding Daily", which is of great importance. Moreover, the printing plant has also expanded twice, and it is still at full capacity, and there are still a lot of orders owed. How can he imagine that it has affected the "Economic" magazine now, which makes him somewhat helpless. But this is no alternative, it can only be accepted. Fortunately, Lin Shanyuan and others are not young, they are not the kind of people who are prone to mood swings, and they are also very receptive. "It''s okay, it''s okay to postpone it for a few days, it''s still important for "Xun Qin Ji"." Lin Shanyuan said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, thinking about it, and said: "Professor Lin, the first issue will not be delayed for many days and it will be available for sale. Now we are preparing for the second issue. "Economics" magazine is a weekly magazine, and we have to set aside for printing. This also means that the next issue of the magazine will be ready in five days, and the workload will be huge. It still requires you to work harder." As he said, Xia Yu looked at other people. "Don''t worry, we have taken this into consideration. With experience, we can do it quickly, and the leaderboard only needs real-time fine-tuning, which saves a lot of time for collecting and analyzing." Lin Shanyuan said with a relaxed expression and said with a smile. "That''s good, yes, Professor Lin, Professor Xu, and everyone sitting here, our economic research office is still short of manpower. If you have friends you know, you can invite them to join in and work together to make the magazine a place. It''s getting better and better!" Xia Yu said as his eyes swept across other people''s faces. "Xia Sheng, don''t worry!" "Will do!" ... Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Xia Yu was satisfied, and stayed in the economic research room for a while, determined that there was nothing to help him, then turned and left. Not long after returning to the office to sit down, Suddenly Xia Yu received a call from Jiuding Securities Company. It was from Wang Qi. He reported that he found other funds were buying shares of Qingzhou Yingni. Xia Yu did not delay and went immediately. Jiuding Securities Company. Wang Qi had long been waiting for the arrival of the boss Xia Yu. When he saw Xia Yu, he quickly greeted him and said respectfully: "Boss, good morning!" "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded, did not talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "What is the situation now?" "Boss, I had occasional funds to buy the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company. After observing, we found that they were purchased separately. We didn''t care about it. However, something went wrong yesterday and I was not sure, so I sent someone to carefully record every moment. Stock trading data." "But this morning, it was still like this, and it was very regular. I realized that other institutions have really entered the market, and the method of choice is still the same as ours." "If you don''t send people to stare at it all the time, you really won''t be able to find them entering the arena. Because I dare not inquire on a large scale, for fear of causing them to alert, I don''t know who is entering, and I guess I can''t find out." Wang Qi hurriedly reported, reporting very carefully, for fear of missing something that would affect the boss'' thinking. Xia Yu nodded after listening, pondered for a moment, and continued to ask: "Have we been discovered?" Wang Qi thought about it for a while, then looked at Xia Yu firmly and said, "I think, no!" After speaking, Wang Qi explained. "Because we entered the venue before, and in order not to arouse other people''s alertness, we were careful to operate. From the perspective of the institutions that came in, our operations were actually in the normal range of fluctuations, so there should be no one noticed. !" "Could it be that Li Chaoren did it?" After listening, an idea flashed in Xia Yu''s mind, and when he thought about it, it felt possible, but he still didn''t dare to be 100% sure. Although according to the time node, it is very likely that it is Li Chaoren, but it is only the second day of discovery, and I can''t pack the tickets. If you want to determine whether it is him, you can only wait for the next few days to continue to observe. "Apart from Qingzhou Yingni, is there any other agency to buy the shares of Wharf?" Xia Yu asked Wang Qi again. "No! Before we started, the transaction volume of Wharf was very small, and there were occasional retail investors. Now we are the only acquisition agency!" Wang Qi replied affirmatively. Hearing this, Xia Yu was a little relieved. After all, compared with Qingzhou Yingni, Wharf is the big money maker. As long as Li Chaoren has not secretly purchased the shares in Wharf, it is all right. After all, it is not long before the plan is executed, and there is no acquisition at all. How many stocks. Thinking of this, Xia Yu wanted to know how many stocks he had now, he asked Wang Qi. "By the way, how is our overall buying situation now?" "Boss, wait a minute, I have a record." Wang Qi said apologetically, then turned and left. When he returned soon, he had an extra notebook in his hand and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it and opened it and looked at it. Account No. 1, holds 81,000 shares of Qingzhou Yingmu Company. The company''s total share capital is 100 million shares, accounting for 0.081% of the total share capital. The current value of each share is 0.8 Hong Kong dollars, and the acquisition cost 64,800 Hong Kong dollars. Holds 40,000 shares of Wharf Co., and the company¡¯s total share capital is 98 million shares, accounting for 0.0408% of the total share capital. Each share is now worth 13.3 Hong Kong dollars, and it costs 532,000 Hong Kong dollars. Account number two... Account number three... ... Fifty accounts hold a total of 4.2 million shares of Qingzhou Yingmu Company, accounting for 4.2% of the total share capital, and the total cost is 3.36 million Hong Kong dollars. A total of 2.254 million Wharf stocks were acquired, accounting for 2.3% of the total share capital, at a total cost of 30.02 million Hong Kong dollars. After reading these data, Xia Yu was very satisfied. He was able to acquire so many stocks in a short period of time without being discovered. Wang Qi did a good job. Although the initial acquisition was not easy to be discovered by others because of the large number of outstanding shares outside, the acquisition difficulty was also lower, but Wang Qi can achieve this level in a short period of time, and he is already very capable, at least in terms of execution. On one point, Wang Qi did not disappoint Xia Yu. "It seems that Liu Tianci is right. Wang Qi is indeed a capable man!" Xia Yu said inwardly. "In this way, Wang Qi, you ask them to be more careful and continue to secretly buy shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company Try not to arouse the other side''s alertness." "Because some organizations are also acquiring, the difficulty of acquisition will increase. If you feel that you are about to be discovered, immediately start the second plan of Qingzhou Yingni''s stock acquisition plan to purchase stocks from other organizations." Xia Yu pondered for a moment and ordered. "Understand!" Wang Qi returned with a serious expression. "The plan to acquire Wharf stocks is proceeding as usual. Each account will add another 1 million funds. We must ensure that there is no problem with Wharf''s plan. Once it is confirmed that there are other institutions entering the market, just like today, let me know as soon as possible!" Xia Yu''s eyes condensed and looked at Wang Qi scorchingly. He only hoped that Li Chaoren would discover the chance of Wharf Wharf later. Seeing Wang Qi nodding solemnly, Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good job, I am very satisfied, keep working hard!" "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Wang Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and bowed slightly. "Go, stare at any time, and do a good job of confidentiality." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he waved to let Wang Qi leave. ~: Updates and rewards announced The rewards on the shelves yesterday are as follows: Direct rewards: lonely night rain, Shu Zhenjun, Fatty Luo, wife I do not charge, book friends 160629133110101, plus five more chapters.

Chapter 121: Yangmou A week later, the popularity of "Looking for the Qin" finally declined, and the total daily sales had dropped to 70,000 sets, of which 30,000 were from Southeast Asia. After so many days, the total sales volume of "Looking for the Qin" has exceeded 800,000 sets, 380,000 sets in Southeast Asia, 320,000 sets in Hong Kong, and 100,000 sets in Taiwan. The two volumes total 1.6 million copies. According to a single ex-factory price of three Hong Kong dollars, the total sales of "Xun Qin Ji" during this period was 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars. The total gross profit belonging to Xia Yuhe''s company was at least 2.4 million, which is definitely a big profit! And this is not the final result, because now booksellers are still continuously sending new orders, and printing houses are still printing new books! However, the situation of backorders no longer exists. Because the new orders started to fall after a sharp increase, and they are falling every day, so far, the number of new orders per day has reached 80,000 sets. The maximum printing capacity of the printing plant is actually 250,000 copies, so there are still 90,000 copies of the remaining capacity, which has been arranged in time to print the "Economy" magazine! After so many days, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia can be described by one word, that is-overwhelming! The first day was the sales volume of 280,000 copies, then 300,000 copies, 330,000 copies, 350,000 copies, 370,000 copies, 380,000 copies... As of yesterday, the total sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia have directly reached 400,000 points! It has long surpassed the "Sing Tao Daily" record of 360,000 copies, ranked first in Southeast Asia, and surpassed the "Sing Tao Daily" sales of 40,000 copies! Although according to statistics, "Jiuding Daily" still has not rushed to the top sales position in many countries and first, but it basically rushed into the top three, and it is not difficult to rush to the top in every country. Little, after all, other local snakes do not eat dry food, and always have their own advantages to fight against the "Jiuding Daily." There is no other way. Only when the branch is established, the "Jiuding Daily" can sink and get closer to the local reality in order to continue to expand sales and influence, and strive to reach the top as soon as possible. However, although it has not reached the top in many countries and regions, the total sales volume of "Jiuding Daily" has reached the top in Southeast Asia! No way, newspapers in other countries are awesome, but they can¡¯t hold back that "Jiuding Daily" is a transnational newspaper! But they can only cross in the nest! As of yesterday, the total sales in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan reached 770,000 copies! Worthy of being the first Chinese newspaper in the world! And even though he has just ascended to the dominant position, he is sitting more firmly! Of course, the mainland must be excluded before the title is counted. Otherwise, as soon as the "People''s Daily" is brought out, the "Jiuding Daily" will still be crushed. There is no way to compare! ... I have to say that this time I really took advantage of the momentum of "Xun Qin Ji" to rush to such a high sales volume. And the benefits of "Jiuding Daily"''s upward rush, also part of the feedback to "Xun Qin Ji", also helped "Xun Qin Ji" expand the influence, increase the sales of "Xun Qin Ji", it can be said that mutual assistance! Fortunately, both "Xun Qin Ji" and "Jiu Ding Daily" belonged to Xia Yu, and all the benefits were eaten in his stomach. Of course, for "Jiuding Daily" to have such a high sales volume, its quality is also an important factor that cannot be ignored! The sales of "Xun Qin Ji" has entered a stable period, so you can put it aside, and then "Economics" magazine should be shocked! Moreover, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" happened to be very hot, and it was still in Southeast Asia, and the popularity still did not drop. It is suitable for "Economics" magazine to take advantage of the sales. Not only can the title of "Economy" magazine be made at one time and increase sales, but also the link between "Economy" magazine and "Jiuding Daily" can be used to strengthen the foundation of "Jiuding Daily" and allow it to settle down quickly. And maybe, it can once again drive the rapid growth of the sales of "Jiuding Daily"! It can be said that choosing this timing node to sell, there are many benefits! ... After the printing plant had surplus production capacity, Xia Yu arranged for the printing of "Economy" magazine at the first time, and also launched the "Economy" magazine publicity plan! With the memories of those big bosses, in terms of marketing, Xia Yu is definitely a veteran of veteran hands, knowing how to mobilize the curiosity and desire of customers to create a good atmosphere. Since the day before yesterday, the cooperative promotion of "Jiuding Daily" has already begun! The day before yesterday, the best section in the first page of "Jiuding Daily" was given to "Economics" magazine, but the content was only one sentence, the font was enlarged and bold, to attract people''s attention as much as possible. The content is very brief, that is, "Do you know which is the largest company in Heung Kong?" After seeing this sentence, many people sneered, because everyone knows that in Hong Kong, HSBC is the undoubted boss, even if the Jardine Consortium and Swire Consortium are not comparable to HSBC. At that time, many people were baffled, wondering if the editor-in-chief of "Jiuding Daily" was so mad and wasting such a large page to write such a sentence. However, more people are curious about it. Does "Jiuding Daily" think that there are more powerful companies than HSBC? They want to see what shocking views the "Jiuding Daily" can say. Similarly, because "Jiuding Daily" is the hegemon of Xiangjiang''s newspaper industry, it has become a weather vane in the newspaper industry, and other newspapers also learned the news for the first time. They don''t think like ordinary readers. Because they knew more, they knew that "Jiuding Daily" would never do such meaningless things. There must be deep meaning in doing so. In order to understand the purpose of "Jiuding Daily", grasp the trend at the first time and see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of or catch up with the popularity of "Jiuding Daily". Other newspapers show their magical powers in order to inquire about this matter. They really heard about this inquiries, that is, Jiuding Newspaper Company is preparing to launch a financial magazine, the name of the magazine is "Economy"! Apart from that, I can''t find out anything else. The disclosure of this news was fueled by the promotion of Jiuding Newspaper Company, which is also part of the marketing plan. The calculation of other newspapers is to use other influence to achieve the purpose of propagating for "Economics" magazine. The "Jiuding Daily" just doesn''t publish it by itself. There is a contrast between the two, creating a sense of mystery that is half-hidden with the pipa, which better arouses readers'' curiosity. What Xia Yu used was a stark maneuver. Even if many newspapers could guess what Jiuding Newspaper Company intended, it is undeniable that this piece of news is worthy of reporting. If his own newspaper does not report it, there will always be other newspapers that will report it. Also reported together, but also to increase sales. Other newspapers are also comforting themselves, anyway, this time they are promoting magazines, not newspapers, and will not impact their sales. Moreover, "Jiuding Daily" has been on sale for so long. If they want to impact their sales, it would have been impacted long ago, and there is no need to wait until now. So, it''s good, eat it first! Although it will help Jiuding Newspaper Company, there is no other way. You have to pay some price if you want to take advantage of this popularity. No one can take advantage of Xia Yu. Officer Xia Yu always thinks about maximizing profits! Chapter 122: Who is the king? The heat caused by this sentence is not only limited to Xiangjiang, but also spread to Southeast Asia covered by "Jiuding Daily". Compared with Xiangjiang people, many people in Southeast Asia don''t know which company is the largest in Xiangjiang. However, they are very curious about the city of Xiangjiang. After all, as the indicator of Southeast Asia¡¯s economy, the entire Southeast Asia has funds flowing into Xiangjiang. Even if many people have not been to Xiangjiang, their work can be related to Xiangjiang, so It is normal to be curious about this kind of problem. It is like living in the land of Huaxia. Although you have never been to Magic City, if someone asks you if you know which company is the largest in Magic City, you may not know it, but you want to know where it is. , Which company is the king. This fever was fired up the next day. Just because the next day, in the same position in the "Jiuding Daily", it did not answer the previous day''s question. Instead, a bold sentence appeared again-"Do you know who is the richest man in Xiangjiang?". As this question was thrown out by the "Jiuding Daily", the public opinion of Xiangjiang was like adding fuel to the fire, and it exploded! This question, unlike the previous question, is still known. No one knows this time. It is because they don''t know, so everyone is like exploring, among the Chinese, which big boss is the richest! I usually hear this newspaper say about this tycoon, and then hear that newspaper say about that tycoon. Xiangjiang is not a big place and there are many tycoons. Xiangjiang people like this tune. The titles of various great kings were sent out vigorously by the media, such as ¡®watch king¡¯, ¡®textile king¡¯, ¡®jewellery king¡¯ and so on. The first name is louder than the other, but when I think about it now, I don''t know who has more money. All of them belonged to the tycoon, just like "Huashan Lunjian", such as "Eastern evil", "West poison", "Southern Emperor", "Northern Beggar", "Zhong Shentong", their names are very loud, but they have to Be the first! But at this time, they are embarrassed. Who is the richest Chinese? Many readers who have read Jiuding Daily¡¯s gossip fire have completely ignited. If they don¡¯t know it, they will ask everybody. This fission-style inquiry directly causes public opinion to skyrocket. And some people are more aggressive and push the limelight, so they say who they think is the richest Chinese man. Some say that the boat king Bao Yugang, some say the gambling king He Hongshen, some say the jewelry king Zheng Yutong, and the real estate tycoon Li Zhaoji With Guo Desheng, and with Li Chaoren... The above is mainly the richest person whom Xiangjiang readers are arguing about. In short, no matter how you fight, you can''t fight for the reason! Because no one can come up with enough evidence to show that the big man he supports is the richest man in Hong Kong Chinese. This kind of enthusiasm was immediately caught by other newspapers that were watching closely. They wrote about what they thought were the richest man in Hong Kong Chinese, and in order to have enough persuasiveness, they also carried out lengthy analysis and demonstration. Not to mention, there are really a few newspapers that are very decent in analysis, which convinces readers, leading to a sharp increase in sales. The owners of those newspapers are eager for their hands, looking forward to the next question of "Jiuding Daily", and then catch a wave of enthusiasm. increase sales. The influence of "Jiuding Daily"''s marketing has not only affected the grassroots of Xiangjiang, but also attracted their attention from the elite. After all, no one can resist this kind of topic. In the capitalist world, the status of money is infinitely elevated, and money is a manifestation of strength. They also want to know who is the richest among the Chinese. Many children of large families are secretly observing, looking forward to the answer from the "Jiuding Daily", hoping that their elders will be awarded the title of the richest Chinese man in the "Jiuding Daily". After all, the influence of "Jiuding Daily" is all over Southeast Asia and Xiangjiang, and it is authoritative. Extremely strong, as long as it gets its recognition, the conviction is absolutely high. If the elders of one''s own family are in this position, then they will all be honored as family members! When talking with peers from other families, the confidence is more invisible! Because of the problems of the past two days, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" rose again, reaching 345,000 copies. It can be seen that many people are concerned about this issue, and even people who do not buy newspapers can''t help but pay The newspaper is out. Today, "Jiuding Daily" still did not answer yesterday''s question, which disappointed those who were looking forward to it, but was more curious in his heart. The human psychology is like this. The less you don''t want to know it, the more I want to know. Xia Yu calculated this kind of psychology, which drew readers'' appetite. Because today, "Jiuding Daily" once again released a question, and it is even more important than yesterday, that is-"Do you know which Xiangjiang family is the richest and the king of Xiangjiang economy?" The problem this time has caused greater enthusiasm than yesterday, because this problem is more difficult to analyze than yesterday¡¯s problem, and it covers a larger area. Without the restriction of Chinese, it means that even foreign families and the four major British consortiums Also included. There are large and small wealthy families in Xiangjiang. Every wealthy family has its own industry, and some families have a lot of industry, let alone ordinary people, even some wealthy families don''t know how many assets the other family has. This time, more wealthy children cast their attention. After all, compared with yesterday¡¯s problem of the richest Chinese, today¡¯s problem is more relevant to them. After all, they are all members of their respective families. His family has reached the top, and the sense of accomplishment is absolutely extraordinary. Even if they did not reach the top, they still want to know where their family ranks among the many families in Hong Kong! That¡¯s right, many people have guessed today that "Jiuding Daily" wants to publish a ranking list. After all, they are in a higher class and they have more contact with the world. They know that there are "Forbes" and The existence of magazines such as Fortune also knows that there are so-called rich list. But because there is no business connection, and these lists do not involve Xiangjiang, which is relatively far away from them, they have not paid much attention, but this does not prevent them from knowing this. Now that "Jiuding Daily" wants to publish this list, many people are paying close attention to it, wanting to know the approximate status of their family in Xiangjiang, and also want to know the strength of the hostile family or the friendly family. Of course, there are many people who are skeptical, waiting for the "Jiuding Daily" to publish the list, there is a mentality of finding fault, if they can''t be convinced, then "Jiuding Daily" will definitely become Xiangjiang''s laughing stock! It can be said that this is an opportunity as well as a challenge. It was created by the "Jiuding Daily" on its own initiative. Many newspapers secretly expect that "Jiuding Daily" will make a big mess. Regardless of the industry, looking forward to the death of colleagues is right! However, taking into account the strength and influence of "Jiuding Daily", before all the results are released, no newspaper or person dares to blatantly sing on the stage with "Jiuding Daily", worrying about slapping themselves in the face. . However, these newspapers secretly look forward to the "Jiuding Daily" capsize! Therefore, many newspapers have made concerted efforts to increase the popularity of this topic again. Not only can they make a wave of sales on their own, they can also push the "Jiuding Daily" to the forefront. In case the "Jiuding Daily" falls to death, they Just happy. If the "Jiuding Daily" really succeeds in the first battle, there is no way to help it once again ascend the throne. Anyway, the "Jiuding Daily" is already the boss, and I don''t care about letting it take the throne. Anyway, the "Jiuding Daily"''s throne becomes more stable. The headaches are the big newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao". It has nothing to do with their small newspapers. They still try to keep up the heat and increase sales! Public opinion is already hot, just like a balloon, expanding more and more, just wait for "Jiuding Daily" to pick it up! Chapter 123: Nawari In the economic research room on the fifth floor of the company, Xia Yu asked Lin Shanyuan and others about the progress of the second issue of "Economics" magazine, and was very satisfied after learning about it, which made him relieved. At this time, the number of economic research rooms increased by about ten, five researchers and five assistants. This was invited by Lin Shanyuan and others within three days. As soon as they entered, Xia Yu assigned them assistants, just to make them the first Time to familiarize yourself with the pattern. Moreover, compared to researchers who are extremely in need of analysis and research capabilities, assistants who are solely responsible for statistical analysis are still very good, or even don''t need to recruit them, they can be directly transferred from other departments of the company. In addition to the five who have already entered, Lin Shanyuan and others contacted others, but they are still under consideration. Xia Yu is not in a hurry. When the "Economy" magazine is released tomorrow, after the shock of Xiangjiang, they will definitely grab it. Join in. Xia Yu believes that for such a good platform to showcase his abilities and economic views and thoughts, there is no other platform that can match Hong Kong and even Asia except his "Economic" magazine. Why don''t you worry about the phoenix when you plant a plane tree? For the "Economic" magazine, Xia Yu is so confident, this is a magazine that is not far from the eyes of the CEO of Time Warner in his memory, so of course he is confident! Seeing the eager expressions of Lin Shanyuan, Xu Zhixue and others, Xia Yu smiled in his heart, knowing what they wanted to ask. This is why he also called Yan Wenhan up, just to let them know the specific situation as soon as possible. "Wenhan, how is the current pre-sale and distribution of "Economic" magazine?" Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan next to him. Feeling that everyone around him was looking at him, Yan Wenhan smiled slightly. He handled this matter personally, and the specific situation had long been familiar to him, so he began to introduce it. "Boss, in the past few days, special personnel have contacted the distributors of our distribution channels. At first, they were not very interested in "Economic" magazine, but after our publicity these days, they saw the changes in public opinion. They called to order one after another, and the interest was getting bigger day by day, and the order volume was getting more and more every day." "Up to now, the total order has reached 150,000 copies. The booksellers and newsstands in Hong Kong have ordered a total of 80,000 copies. The distributors in Taiwan took 20,000 copies, and the distributors in Southeast Asia added I have ordered 50,000 copies. The farthest order from Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province has been delivered and is being urgently shipped. It is absolutely guaranteed to be delivered to the dealer before tonight, and will not delay the sales of tomorrow; and the local order from Hong Kong has not yet Delivery." "Because it is a mid-to-high-end magazine, the cost is relatively high. Our magazine is priced at 2.5 Hong Kong dollars each! The price provided to distributors is 1.8 Hong Kong dollars. After removing various material costs and labor costs, our profit is only 0.3 Hong Kong dollars." "Our company has printed a total of 200,000 magazines so far, and now there are only 50,000 copies left in stock. I have prepared the printing plant to stand by and start printing at any time to ensure that there will be no out-of-stock issues like the previous "Xun Qin Ji"! " Yan Wenhan finished the report in one go, then looked at Xia Yu and waited for Xia Yu''s opinions. Xia Yu smiled, nodded and smiled: "Very good!" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Lin Shanyuan, Xu Zhixue and the others, and saw that all of them were happy. Obviously, they were pleasantly surprised when they learned about the production and distribution of "Economics" magazine, and a little bit of anxiety was also lost. At least the dealers approve it, which means they think there is market value. If 200,000 copies are sold now, "Economics" magazine will have succeeded! What''s more, this magazine is a weekly magazine, and the sales cycle is one week. As long as it sells hotly, sales will continue to increase in the future! According to what they have learned, Xiangjiang doesn''t have any famous magazines. The best magazines sell more than 10,000 copies a week. The market is almost a virgin land. Now it''s finally time for the "Economic" magazine to come. The more they sell, the greater the influence of "Economics" magazine, and the more reputation they gain. You know, each article is signed by each article, and whoever wrote the article is signed, and the rich list and the top 100 companies list are all attached with their names. The greater the influence of "Economy" magazine, it also means that their articles are read by more people, and their names are known by more people. This was impossible before, but now it is equipped with "Economy". The magazine is a golden platform, but they can easily expand their influence. What''s more, Jiuding Newspaper Company also paid them a lot of money. Fame and fortune, nothing more! With such a good post, there are not a few out there with lanterns in Xiangjiang! "Professor Lin, Professor Xu, and everyone sitting here, in the first issue of the magazine, you can directly ask Wenhan for how much you want, and you can give it to your relatives and friends. You can take it back tonight and give it away. The more you give away The happier I am! The greater the influence on our magazine!" Xia Yu smiled and said to Lin Shanyuan and others. "Thank you Xia Sheng! We will definitely work hard to promote it!" Lin Shanyuan thanked Xia Yu with a smile, and they couldn''t wait to share this success with their friends. After that, watching Lin Shanyuan and others surround Yan Wenhan, one by one saying the number of shares he wanted, Xia Yu smiled. In fact, making magazines is the same as making newspapers. It''s just a platform and carrier. It doesn''t rely on selling magazines to make money. What you make is the advertising costs after the platform is bigger. That''s the bulk. This is not like selling novels like "Xun Qin Ji". It is a one-off sale. Making money is money for buying books! The price of "Economics" magazine is 2.5 Hong Kong dollars, which is already very high, but the cost is also high. Good paper, color printing, labor costs, machine wear and tear, the biggest cost is the salary of Lin Shanyuan and others. To taxes, Combining these costs, the cost of "Economics" magazine has risen to 1.5 Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yuhai can earn a gross profit of 0.3 Hong Kong dollars from each book, which is already very good. Many magazines are operating at a loss without advertising revenue. , Even if the income from selling magazines is good, it is rare that Xia Yu¡¯s "Economic" magazine still has a gross profit of 0.3 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the more printed, the cost will drop! If you continue to expand sales, it is more appropriate to lower the price to 2 Hong Kong dollars or 1.5 Hong Kong dollars. Even if you lose money here, you can make up for the advertising expenses. However, Xia Yu gave up this plan after considering it, because this involves the positioning and force of the magazine. Grid problem. Since it is to be a mid-to-high-end financial magazine, with a low price, it will lower the grade. For the rich, 0.5 Hong Kong dollars and 1 Hong Kong dollars more can be regarded as a thing! As for providing Lin Shanyuan and others with the first issue of the magazine for free, it¡¯s a trivial matter. It doesn¡¯t cost a lot of money, but it can win their favor and make them feel more belonging to the company. They can also expand the influence of "Economics" magazine! Talk and laugh with Hongru, Wang Baiding! Dragons do not live with snakes. They are all people with a certain social status and level. Friends are also at a level similar to them. They happen to be potential customers of "Economics" magazine. Lin Shanyuan and others promote it. They have this level of trust. The chances of converting into subscribers are much higher, this deal is simply a bargain! When He Yan Wenhan left the fifth floor and came to the office on the second floor, Xia Yu said to him again: "Wenhan, you will arrange for a specific person to deliver the magazine to the listed companies early tomorrow morning, and then HSBC''s It must be delivered as early as possible, and HSBC employees must be informed that it must be delivered to their chairman Shen Bi, remember?" "Don''t worry, boss, I will make arrangements!" Yan Wenhan said solemnly. "Go, make arrangements!" Xia Yu waved his hand to let Yan Wenhan go out. He took a deep breath and leaned on the chair to meditate. Chapter 124: Hong Kong Rich List Early the next morning, the "Jiuding Daily" was delivered to other newsstands as usual, but the difference was that this time, in addition to the newspapers, there were more "Economics" magazines. This time it was Ma Hui who delivered the newspaper. He rode to the front of his cousin''s newsstand and stopped, took out a stack of newspapers from the trunk and put it on his cousin''s newsstand. "Uncle Cousin, your one hundred copies of Jiuding Daily! You can confirm it!" "You don''t need to count the newspapers. Give me the magazines, hurry up!" The newsstand boss said rudely, and instead of looking at the newspapers on the newsstand, he kept his eyes on Ma Hui''s newspaper box. For Jiuding Daily¡¯s "Economic" magazine, he could not wait to see it. After all, news about this magazine has been flying in the sky these days, even though he is the owner of the newsstand, and he can read newspapers and magazines. , But still aroused curiosity by "Economics" magazine. He couldn''t help but want to see it! He hasn''t even cared so much about relying on magazines to make money. "Take it out right away, cousin, don''t worry!" Ma Hui said with a smiling face, and once again ordered twenty copies of "Economy" magazine from the newspaper box, and handed it out to his cousin. As soon as the result was delivered, he was rushed by his cousin. Ma Hui couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes, but a sense of pride rose in his heart. The magazine of his company is so popular, of course proud. Up! "Uncle cousin, I''ll go first, take your time, remember not to delay collecting the money and don''t know!" After Ma Hui finished speaking, he rode on the bike and rushed to the next newspaper delivery location. This scene not only happened here, but the whole of Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia. The difference is that the popularity of "Economics" magazine in Southeast Asia is slightly lower. Except for the newsstand, which was delivered with newspapers in the morning, the magazines in the bookstore were delivered last night, and they are probably already on sale. And now there is another group of dedicated people who are holding magazines and running to some companies. Those target companies are all companies in the top 100 companies of Xiangjiang Enterprises. This is to show the goodwill of Jiuding Newspaper Company. , Give a magazine, express one''s attitude, also can get closer to these companies. After all, the companies that can be listed in the top 100 of Xiangjiang Enterprises are all large companies with strong strength and influence. As long as these companies recognize the "Economic" magazine, then there is absolutely no need to worry about the issue of advertising investment in the magazine in the future. To become a big gold master, of course you have to be careful. As soon as HSBC Chairman Shen Bi came to the bank, he received the "Economic" magazine from his subordinates, and said that it was sent by Jiuding Newspaper Company a long time ago. Hearing this, Shen Bi showed a smile. . As soon as he sat down in the office, Shen Bi looked at the magazine with his picture on the cover. When he saw this picture, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he smiled and said to himself: "It''s a good shot!" He said that he continued to look at it for a while, and it seemed that the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and then he looked away reluctantly and opened the magazine. The first article, signed by Xia Yu, is titled "On the Long-term Economic Development of Hong Kong". Shen Bi continued to look down, his expression getting more and more serious, he looked at it from time to time and then stopped to think, nodded after thinking, and continued to look down. An article with more than 1,000 words was read for more than ten minutes. "Xia Yu''s eyes are really sharp to see the problem. This article is written thoroughly and points out the context of Xiangjiang''s economic development. He is really talented!" Shen Bi admired. Then, Shen Bi continued to scroll down and saw the articles of Lin Shanyuan, Xu Zhixue and others. Each article was full of dry goods, and the articles contained high gold, which made Shen Bi nod repeatedly. At the back, he glanced around because of time issues, but when he reached the end, the two lists made him stare. ""List of Top 100 Xiangjiang Enterprises"" Shen Bi read word by word, then looked down. The one who is very familiar at the top of the list is HSBC. 1. Hong Kong Ueto HSBC Bank Co., Ltd.: With a market value of HK$12.28 billion, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings Ltd., the largest registered bank in Hong Kong. It has...people, more than 200 offices, 51% of the bank shares... 2. Jardine Matheson: With a total market value of 9.46 billion Hong Kong dollars, it owns Land Company, Dairy Company, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Jardine Pacific, Jardine Motors... 3. Swire Pacific: With a total market value of 8.48 billion Hong Kong dollars, it owns Swire Properties, Cathay Pacific, Swire Shipping Co., Ltd., Swire Dockyard, Swire Beverage Company... 4. Hutchison Whampoa: The total market value is 6.24 billion Hong Kong dollars. It owns Hutchison Port Co., Ltd., Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Co., Ltd., Watsons... 5. Land Company: With a total market value of 4.62 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson... 6. Hang Seng Bank: total market value of 4.27 billion Hong Kong dollars... 7. Wheelock: The total market value is 40.1 Hong Kong dollars... ... 15. Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd.: Founder Bao Yugang, with a total market value of 2.52 billion Hong Kong dollars... ... 28. Wharf: total market value of 13.1 Hong Kong dollars... ... 30. Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd.: Founder Li Chaoren, the company''s market value is 1.27 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the company''s total assets are 680 million... ... 100. Freeman Group: The total market value is 220 million Hong Kong dollars... Shen Bi viewed this list with a rigorous attitude. After only one round of reading, he found that the top 100 companies ranking list is very rigorous, and no loopholes can be found. The ranking of each company is a combination of market value and The revenue ranking is extremely convincing. "From this list of companies, you can see the level of "Economics" magazine, it has been considered a success!" Shen Bi sighed a little. Then, he looked at another list again. "Economy" 1978 Hong Kong Rich List" 1. The Keswick family: its business is Jardine Matheson, with family capital of 6.4 billion Hong Kong dollars... 2. Shi Yahuai''s family: its property is Swire Pacific, with family assets of 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars... ... 5. The Qi De family: its property is Hutchison Whampoa, with family assets of 2.58 billion Hong Kong dollars ... 7. Bao Yugang: Total assets of 2.42 billion Hong Kong dollars, under its subsidiaries are Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd., Global International Capital Co., Ltd., Lufeng International (Investment) Company... ... 100. The Deng Zhiang family, total assets of 160 million Hong Kong dollars... "It''s amazing, this ability to collect and process information is really strong!" "However, Jiuding Newspaper Company still knows the scale. This list is based on public information. It does not take out the old bottom of each family. It is still a wise move, hehe!" Shen Bi looked inexplicable and light. Smiled. As far as some families he knows, assets are definitely not only so few on the rankings, but those assets are not on the surface is hidden deeply, the equity has been processed, and it is impossible to prove that they are their assets. , But actually controlled by them, this is a common way of hiding assets in established families. There is nothing to say about the top 100 companies list. They are all based on the obvious. It will be of great benefit to the company after being on the list. No one has any opinions! But the meaning of the rich list is different. If you don¡¯t know your degree, you will easily get into a show, and even offend other families to attack them. After all, no one likes to be exposed, let alone the exposed family still holds a huge amount of energy. Whichever shot Xiangjiang will flicker, it is definitely not something that Jiuding Newspaper can afford. However, although "Economics" magazine has launched the rich list, it analyzes the value ranking based on the equity on the surface. Some unlisted companies with clear ownership are only approximate estimates, and some other hidden assets, " Economics magazine did not collect statistics. It can be said to be very wise. This degree is very good, and other families have nothing to say. After all, this information is publicly available. How could it not allow Economics to collect it! "Presumably "Economics" magazine has caused a sensation in the outside world..." Shen Bi glanced at the two lists again and thought with a smile. Chapter 125: Henderson Land Development Zhao Feng is 25 years old this year. Although he is young, he graduated from Xiangjiang University. In this era when undergraduates are very scarce, he entered the famous Henderson Land Development Company as soon as he graduated. Although in the eyes of others, he should be complacent, but In fact, he remains humble and highly motivated. He is the first to come to the company almost every day. This day is no exception! Zhao Feng came to the company early, and then went to the newspaper box to get the company''s subscribed newspaper, because every day the earliest arrived, his boss gave him the task of distributing the newspaper. "This pile belongs to the chairman." "This pile belongs to Manager Wang." "This pile belongs to Manager Liu." ... Zhao Feng matched the various newspapers separately, sorted them one by one, and sent them to each leader and each office after he went to work without making a mistake. After the newspaper was sorted, he sat in a chair with a sigh of relief. "I finally have time to read the newspaper. I don''t know if the Jiuding Daily will publish the answer today, or will it publish a topic again? Some expectations!" Zhao Feng muttered, with a look of expectation on his face, and then he belonged to himself "Jiuding Daily" was taken out of the pile of newspapers in the office. In the past few days, he has been discussing these issues with his colleagues when he has nothing to do. He also looks forward to his company¡¯s chairman Li Zhaoji becoming the richest man in China. He is also happy with his family and friends. After all, he is with the richest man. How can I get rich. I usually go to the temple to ask the God of Wealth, where is there any real contact with the richest man, the living God of Wealth. Zhao Feng directly searched for that section, and just opened it, and once again a bold sentence appeared on the familiar section, but this time it was completely different from the previous one, because there was no problem, but a directive¡ª"All the answers are in " Economy" Weekly Magazine!" "Economics Weekly Magazine?" Zhao Feng was taken aback, blinked and then came back to his senses. He searched through a bunch of magazines subscribed to by the company. Less than ten magazines were turned back and forth a few times, and he just couldn''t find the " The "Economy" magazine mentioned in Jiuding Daily made him a little disappointed. After waiting for a few days, I finally knew where I could get the answer, but I found that without this magazine, it felt like being pinched by the throat, which was very uncomfortable. "I knew that when I passed the newsstand on the road, I should pay attention to it. Hey, I can only wait until after get off work at noon. I hope it will be sold...I really want to know if the chairman is the richest Chinese man..." Zhao Feng sighed disappointedly. When he was disappointed, Zhang Yue, an employee of Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd., who specializes in delivering magazines, came to the door of Henderson Land Development Co., and saw the open door. He walked in and saw Zhao Feng''s figure. Knocked on the door and saw Zhao Feng looking up at him. Zhang Yue smiled and nodded and walked in, took out an "Economy" magazine and handed it to him. "Hello, I¡¯m Zhang Yue, the dispatcher of Jiuding Newspaper Company. This is the "Economy" magazine published by our company. Congratulations on your company¡¯s inclusion on the top 100 Xiangjiang enterprises list. Our boss ordered me to send a magazine here. I hope it must be handed over to the chairman of your company." Zhao Feng took the magazine handed over by Zhang Yue in a daze, and replied stupidly: "Okay, I will definitely deliver it." When he saw Zhang Yue turn around and walk out, Zhao Feng looked at the magazine in his hand and was full of doubts: "This Jiuding newspaper company also took the initiative to send magazines over. I just came here as soon as I was talking about it. This luck is also... and our company Was on the top 100 list of Xiangjiang Enterprises? Great, hurry up and take a look..." Zhao Feng, who had recovered his senses, was beaming, and quickly opened the "Economics" magazine in his hand, without going to read other content, and digging through the rankings, but he also turned it carefully. After all, Zhang Yue said that this is Jiuding. The boss of the newspaper company ordered him to deliver it, and it was given to the chairman of their company. He didn''t dare to mess it up or crumple it up. Soon, he turned to the end, and what he saw was the 1978 HeungKong top 100 list. After seeing that the first place was HSBC, he showed an unsurprising look. Then, he didn¡¯t have time to think about it. Look for it in the list. "23. Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd., unlisted, was established in 1973, the chairman of the company Li Zhaoji, the company is valued at 1.82 billion Hong Kong dollars..." Zhao Feng chanted word by word, his face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of shock and amazement. He did not expect that his company would rank 23rd in Hong Kong, and the company was not listed, but the valuation given by "Economics" magazine reached 1.82 billion Hong Kong dollars, what a huge number. "1.82 billion Hong Kong dollars, if the money is replaced with all the money, can this office be filled?" Zhao Feng glanced around the office and wondered somewhat. Then, he looked down again and found that the companies on the list were all familiar big companies. His eyes quickly swept to the last place. When he saw that the last Minfeng Group had a market value of 220 million Hong Kong dollars, he spit out He sighed and said with emotion: "The 100th place has 220 million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that there are really many big companies in HeungKong. I didn''t think of it before. I really don''t know it. I was shocked when I saw it!" "By the way, I don''t know who is the richest Chinese in Xiangjiang, which is the largest family in Xiangjiang, and how can the chairman rank in Xiangjiang?" After feeling, Zhao Feng suddenly thought that he had not found the answer to the question he was more concerned about. He quickly turned to the next page again. "My God! The British guy is really too rich!" As soon as he saw that the Keswick family ranked first had 6.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets, and the second-ranked Shi Huai Ya family also had 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets, Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim that he was so rich. But when he thinks about it, he is relieved. After all, they are all veteran families that have existed for more than a hundred years. The Keswick family and the Shi Yahuai family control the first and second Jardine and Taikoo businesses. So much money is needed. Not surprising. "Unexpectedly, Bao Yugang turned out to be the richest Chinese man, and his total assets reached 2.42 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking seventh, which is amazing! And he has seven companies under his name. I always thought he had only Global Shipping Group. It¡¯s not "Economics" magazine. I don¡¯t even know about this. The tycoon is really a tycoon!" "Twenty-fifth, Li Zhaoji, with total assets of 1.55 billion Hong Kong dollars, owns 75% of the shares of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd., and 90% of the shares of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. (Infrastructure)..." "Unexpectedly, the chairman was ranked twenty-fifth, so high, I counted, one, two, three... six. Only six Chinese tycoons or Chinese families ranked above the chairman. With a net worth of 1.55 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is only ranked seventh. There are so many wealthy bigwigs among the Chinese. Unexpectedly, I thought that the chairman could become the richest man. It really is a frog at the bottom of the well. I don¡¯t know much about it!" "However, starting today, I will know..." Zhao Feng expressed infinite emotion. The two lists, especially the second list, had a great impact on him. He did not expect that there are so many tycoons in the small Xiangjiang, and there are so many tycoons that he does not know. Many are better than the great chairman of their own company! "Xiangjiang really crouching tiger, hidden dragon!" When Zhao Feng was immersed in the shock of the rankings, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. He was very alert and immediately raised his head. He suddenly discovered that this figure turned out to be Chairman Li Zhaoji. He immediately thought that the chairman came early every day. It was earlier than him, so it is normal for the chairman to come second. UU Reading Excited all over his body, he immediately put down the magazine, stood up and shouted respectfully: "Good morning, Chairman!" "Yeah! Good morning, you are earlier than me again, very good!" Li Zhaoji said with a gentle smile, his eyes open admiringly, this encouraging words came to Zhao Feng''s ears, his face flushed like chicken blood, his smile completely Can''t hide. "Thanks for the praise, Chairman!" "By the way, Chairman, I just received a magazine from Jiuding Newspaper Company, saying that I must deliver it to you, look?" Although I really want to read it, Zhao Feng knows he can''t do this. , He quickly picked up the "Economic" magazine and asked Li Zhaoji. "Oh? Give it to me!" Li Zhaoji raised his brows. Unexpectedly, Jiuding Newspaper Company would take the initiative to send the magazine over. He saw the magazine in Zhao Feng''s hands. The character on the cover of the magazine made him stare and said with a smile. I took the "Economy" magazine in my hand. Then Li Zhaoji encouraged Zhao Feng and took the magazine to his office. After putting down his bag, he looked at it. Chapter 126: Li Zhaoji In the past few days, public opinion has been heated up by the "Jiuding Daily". Of course, he knew that Jiuding Newspaper Company was planning to launch a magazine, and it was still a financial magazine. He didn''t expect it would come out today. Moreover, the cover character turned out to be the chairman of HSBC Bank Shen Bi! "Unexpectedly, Shen Bi actually accepted the interview, and he was still on the cover. With this alone, this magazine has the grade, and it is really big!" Li Zhaoji murmured with a smile. Then, he opened the "Economy" magazine, and soon he saw the list of the top 100 Xiangjiang enterprises, and he immediately focused and looked at it carefully. Although this kind of ranking list does not have many words, if it is true, then the value is definitely not small, and it contains a lot of business opportunities. It depends on whether you can find it out. It can be said that this is the cheapest business opportunity! "Unexpectedly, my company was ranked 23rd, and I was given a valuation of 1.82 billion yuan... indeed very accurate!" Seeing his company''s ranking, Li Zhaoji looked at the company''s introduction and analysis, and he thought about it carefully. Very much in line with his own psychological expectations, he admired. Then, he saw other companies in the same industry or acquaintances on the list. The value and ranking of each company were in line with the actual situation, which made him recognize the list more and more. At the end of the list, there is the author''s signature under the list. He glanced at it and smiled: "It turns out that there are Professor Lin and Professor Xu, and the owner of Jiuding Newspaper Company Xia Yu. Others are also well-known people in the financial world. No wonder This list is made so well." Lin Shanyuan and Xu Zhixue are well-known, and his company has encountered some problems in the development process. He also consulted Lin Shanyuan and Xu Zhixue and successfully solved the problem. He knew that these two people had real talents. Dana, since this list is checked by them and personally participated, the authority is naturally high. Then, he continued to look down and saw the 1978 Hong Kong Rich List. After reading it, he showed admiration and nodded his head in approval: "According to the asset rankings on the bright side, the credibility is completely fine, Jiuding News The business company is also considered wise. It seems that the boss of their company is a young man. He is not very old but very experienced in doing things. It is rare, rare..." "These articles are also very high-level and valuable. It seems that Jiuding Newspaper Company has succeeded this time..." ... While Li Zhaoji was reading the magazine, time was constantly flowing, and the employees of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. came to work one after another. Seeing his colleague Deng Bin sitting down next to him, thinking about the issue of the richest man in Hong Kong that Deng Bin had been fighting with himself for a day yesterday, in the end, no one was convinced. Zhao Feng rolled his eyes and smiled triumphantly, then restrained and patted him. shoulder. "Zhao Feng, what''s the matter?" Deng Bin asked suspiciously. "Hey, Deng Bin, do you know who the richest man in Xiangjiang and the richest Chinese in Xiangjiang are? And do you know how much money they have?" Zhao Feng said mysteriously. Deng Bin gave him a white look and vomited: "Cut, of course I don''t know, do you know?" Because the company subscribes to a lot of "Jiuding Daily" every day, Deng Bin did not spend his own money to buy newspapers, and did not know the fact that "Economics" magazine had come out. "Hey, of course I know!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng said with a smirk this time and his expression was very awkward. "Oh? You just talk about it!" Seeing Zhao Feng''s meanness, Deng Bin was full of disgust, gave him a white look, and said with a sneer. "Cough cough, listen carefully!" Zhao Feng raised his head and coughed his throat. "The richest in Hong Kong is the Keswick family of Jardine Matheson, with family assets of 6.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the richest Chinese man is Bao Yugang with assets of 2.42 billion Hong Kong dollars. Our chairman ranks 25th with total assets of 1.55 billion Hong Kong dollars! How is it, not too much!" Zhao Feng finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Deng Bin humbly, the meaning was obvious, I said it, not great! After listening to Zhao Feng''s words, Deng Bin''s eyes were surprised. Seeing what Zhao Feng said was true, it was not like a random fabrication. He looked at Zhao Feng seriously and began to wonder if he really knew. "Where did you know it? Was it published by Jiuding Daily?" Deng Bin asked, looking straight at Zhao Feng. "I lost it, I didn''t expect the British guy to be so rich! Our chairman is only twenty-fifth!" Suddenly, an exclamation sounded around, which immediately attracted everyone in the office. Deng Bin was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted. The content of the colleague''s exclaim was surprisingly related to what Zhao Feng said. He realized that there could be an answer there, and immediately left Zhao Feng and ran over to watch. "I... really came out at an untimely time, boring!" Seeing Deng Bin running over to watch, his pretending process was forcibly interrupted, Zhao Feng seemed to be severely chopped off at the climax, and wanted to curse. But he held back, and murmured. Soon, all sorts of exclamations came to mind in the office, apparently shocked by the content of "Economics" magazine. At this moment, a person walked in and said to Zhao Feng: "Zhao Feng, the chairman said that you should call Jiuding Newspaper Company and ask them to send the "Economic" magazine over, and you will order every issue in the future. When dividing newspapers, divide the magazines and count the number yourself. Each executive must have one copy, and each office must have two copies, and then report them to the finance department together." "Okay, I''ll do it right away!" Zhao Feng nodded immediately, his face was full of joy. The chairman personally asked him to do things. Although it is such a small matter, it was ordered by the chairman himself. This kind of treatment is not much in the company The people at the bottom can enjoy it, which makes him very excited, and the whole person is like chicken blood. Without further ado, he immediately took the paper and pen to calculate and quickly counted the results of 56 books. Then, he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the number of Jiuding Newspaper Company: "Hello Is it Jiuding Newspaper Company? I am Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. This is the case. Our company needs to subscribe to your company¡¯s "Economy" magazine. Starting today, each issue will be fifty-six..." After hanging up the phone, Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he sighed and murmured: "It seems that "Economics" magazine is very valuable, otherwise it will not be approved by the chairman, and he has to order it. Many, do you intend to let everyone read and learn?" ... Such a scene occurred not only in Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd., but also in many other companies. After seeing the "Economic" magazine, the chairman of those companies found that the reading value of the "Economic" magazine was very high. Moreover, the gold content of the two rankings is also very high, which helps them understand the situation of their peers or other industries, helps them make correct judgments, and also has great benefits in expanding the knowledge of their subordinates. Asking people to call Jiuding Newspaper Company requires a large number of long-term subscriptions to "Economics" magazine. In addition to these companies, many users of "Jiuding Daily" bought "Economics" magazine after seeing the newspaper. Although the price of 2.5 Hong Kong dollars is a bit expensive, some people hesitated for a while and couldn''t help their curiosity like a cat. , Have paid for it. For a time, the sales of "Economy" magazines in newsstands and major bookstores were very hot. And this buying enthusiasm skyrocketed at noon, because many middle and high-level elites have already left work. They can''t wait to know these problems after enduring them all morning, and they pay for them when they are not bad. On this day, the entire Xiangjiang River, and even the entire Southeast Asian streets sounded one after another in exclamation, and they seemed to be shocked by the two heavy lists. From the moment they saw this list, "Economics" magazine left a deep impression on them. After seeing the "Economic" magazine, some financial companies discovered the huge value contained in it. Whether it''s the economic analysis article in the magazine or the list of the top 100 Xiangjiang enterprises, they all exude golden light. As financial practitioners, they have a keen sense of smell, and they soon discovered opportunities for speculation. They immediately sent people to buy the "Economy" magazine, and then gathered people to conduct in-depth research. After they found opportunities for speculation, they immediately arranged manpower to operate. . Many companies really took the opportunity to make a fortune. Since then, these companies have never subscribed to "Economy" magazine. "Economy" magazine has become their only magazine that must be subscribed, because in their opinion, "Economy" magazine "The magazine not only saves their research and analysis time and energy, but the value is too great! Chapter 127: 0 million against the sky sales This is especially true for some small financial companies, because many small companies have insufficient staff and poor analytical capabilities. However, the analysis of "Economics" magazine saves them a lot of work and can help them select high-quality companies for investment. I don''t know how much work they have saved. The effect is too great, and the cost is very low. You only need to spend dozens of dollars a week to subscribe to a dozen books, which is really cost-effective! So order one after another! "Economics" magazine became an instant hit. Many wealthy children bought the magazine at the first time. Regardless of their education, the pride in their bones is inevitable, that is, introverted and exposed. The children of wealthy families are aggressive, the children of the high-ranking families are very proud, the children of the low-ranking families are very dissatisfied, and those who are not on the list at all are more aggrieved, but see every precise statistic on the rankings, listen When the parents agree with the two lists, they can only hold their breath secretly. Those who did not make the list wanted to be on the list, those with a low ranking wanted to be higher, and those with a high ranking wanted to keep up while continuing to rush up. After all, the halo given by these two lists was too great. Before they went out to say which family they belonged to, many people may not have heard of it, but now when they go out, as long as they say it, others know it immediately, and look at them with envy and respect. Anyone who has vanity will enjoy it very much. This feeling, as to whether being on the list will have any negative impact on the family, this is not in their consideration. Anyway, with their parents, they only need to enjoy the glory of the family! Since today, many upper-class cocktail parties have been inseparable from talking about "Economics" magazine, and the two lists are signed by Lin Shanyuan, Xu Zhixue and others. People who know them all recognize this list. The authority is beyond doubt . Of course, no one went to trouble Jiuding Newspaper Company. After all, these are all publicly released data, and Jiuding Newspaper Company''s statistics are understandable! Although being on the list will have a certain impact on them, the good impact is higher than the bad impact. In this way, they also bear the feelings of Jiuding Daily in their hearts. On this day, the sales of "Economics" magazine were amazing. The first 150,000 copies sent out were almost out of stock. Jiuding Newspaper Company''s phone calls have never stopped. This hot trend made Xia Yu very satisfied. Because preparations were sufficient this time, even though the orders were falling like rain, Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. still delivered the goods in an orderly manner, and kept printing on them to ensure that they were shipped as soon as they received the order and ensure the sales of "Economy" magazine. On this day, the total sales of "Economic" magazines reached 220,000 copies, of which 120,000 were sold by Xiangjiang, 70,000 in Southeast Asia, and 30,000 in Taiwan. The next day, "Economics" magazine sold 260,000 copies, but Xiangjiang''s sales volume dropped a bit, reaching 90,000 copies. It is estimated that the popularity is too high, and the purchasing power exploded a bit. Although Xiangjiang¡¯s sales have fallen, Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province have instead fermented. The total sales of Southeast Asian countries have reached 110,000 copies. Taiwan¡¯s sales have also doubled, reaching 60,000 copies. This is the result of Jiuding News¡¯ inability to expand its influence on its own; but it¡¯s normal to think about it. After all, the population of Taiwan is the population of Xiangjiang. It¡¯s more than five times that of Hong Kong, and it¡¯s close to Xiangjiang, and its economic ties are very close. The "Economy" magazine made a sensation throughout Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. Naturally, Taiwan Province was aware of it immediately. In addition, those sellers seized the opportunity to market. Soaring naturally. On the third day, the total daily sales of "Economy" magazine was 210,000 copies... On the fourth day, the single-day total sales of "Economy" magazine plummeted to only 120,000 copies... ... Although every day, the sales of "Economics" magazines will plummet, but the total sales of "Economics" magazines continue to rise. Of course, seeing the sales volume of "Economy" magazine, some magazines were also jealous and began to imitate "Economy" magazine. The impatient magazines quickly launched similar magazines, but the quality was too poor. "The excellence of the magazine is supported by peers, but sales have risen somewhat. Some newspapers do not engage in magazines, but they are not afraid of death. They also want to take advantage of the popularity of "Economics" magazine to launch what they think is the richest list and the top 100 Xiangjiang enterprises list. Some even want to be different, and even launched Xiangjiang. Top 200 enterprises list, top 500 list, rich list in Kowloon, rich list in New Territories, rich list in Hong Kong Island, etc. It¡¯s a pity that after tricking users into subscribing to newspapers, they really got a lot of scolding. After all, this kind of list is so easy to launch. Jiuding News has been preparing for so long, and the people involved are finance and business. The capable people in the world really thought they were so easy to imitate? Think you can fool readers by writing casually? Without the list of "Economics" magazine, it is better to say that there is nothing to be afraid of comparison, and there is no harm without comparison! A comparison reveals the excellence and professionalism of "Economics" magazine, which are all set off by peers! After many newspapers smashed their heads, other newspapers that were eager to move also came to their senses, recognized the reality, and did not dare to move their minds. No matter what happened in the middle, the sales of "Economics" magazine were not affected, and they were still in full swing. On the evening of the seventh day, Yan Wenhan happily reported the results to Xia Yu. "Boss, our "Economic" magazine has sold exactly one million copies in seven days! Among them, Hong Kong has sold 320,000 copies, Southeast Asia has sold 480,000 copies, and Taiwan has sold 20 copies. Wanben." "And the number of subscriptions for the second issue is 380,000." "Okay!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction, with a smile on his face. You should know that the weekly sales of Forbes magazine in later generations were only 5 million. The first issue of "Economics" magazine reached the fifth of "Forbes" magazine. One part, this result is absolutely strong. However, he was not dazzled by this fiery result. He also knew that this one million sales result was very watery, and the auxiliary effect brought by marketing was too great. Many people were curious about the two lists. Those who buy the "Economic" magazine are not those who really need the "Economic" magazine. Such users are not loyal users and have low commercial value. Yan Wenhan¡¯s report proves this from the side, because before the second issue of the magazine was released, it was determined that only loyal users would subscribe, and the number of subscriptions was only 380,000, and many of them were similar to Henderson. Like Zhaoye Real Estate, they subscribe in batches. In Xia Yu''s view, the sales performance of the second issue of "Economy" magazine will be the real level. The second issue of "Economy" magazine does not have the blessing of hot public opinion, and those at the bottom will rarely buy "Economy" again. Magazines, because they don''t need them, and they can''t afford to spend 2.5 Hong Kong dollars to buy a magazine, just to get more information about the two lists. What''s more, after the publication of "Economics" magazine, there will definitely be other newspapers reprinting or discussing the rankings, and they can also get information. When Xia Yu wanted to come, if the second issue of "Economics" magazine had a sales volume of 700,000, he would be very satisfied. He even set the lower limit to 600,000 copies. No way. This kind of mid-to-high-end magazine is not Everyone needs it! "How is the situation in the Economic Research Office now?" Xia Yu asked again without asking the question of sales. "Boss, after the release of "Economics" magazine, our economic research office expanded very quickly. Many celebrities in the financial and business circles have joined us, and Professor Lin and others have also invited many people to join. "So far, the Economic Research Office has been expanded four times, with 60 researchers and 60 assistants, and it has been divided into groups, so there will be no problems in management." Yan Wenhanhui reported. "Very well, "Economics" magazine cannot rest on its laurels. Next, the list will be expanded from one hundred to five hundred, and it will be called the top five hundred of the Hong Kong enterprises and the rich list will also be ranked five hundred. This is a short-term goal. ." "Next, the newspaper will set up branches in Taiwan and other countries in Southeast Asia, and set up a separate printing plant, so that "Jiuding Daily" will take root." "The "Economy" magazine should also keep up The mid-term goal is to make a ranking list for each country, as well as a general ranking list for Southeast Asia, and to recruit local personnel to study the local economy and make a local version "Economics" magazine, understand?" Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered in one breath. "Understood!" Yan Wenhan replied earnestly. "There is one more thing to note. If my company meets the standard, it will be on the list. Don''t be falsely high. Everything in the corporate rankings must be real! But the rich list, don''t show my name. At that time, you tried to compress my assets. If there is one million, you write me one hundred thousand, or even lower, understand?" Xia Yu exhorted with a serious face. "I remembered!" Yan Wenhan nodded immediately. He knew what the boss Xia Yu meant was to hide assets. Although this would have some influence on the authority of "Economics" magazine, but the boss has spoken, it must be no If he cares about this negative impact, he only needs to execute it. "Also, tomorrow is the first day when the second issue of "Economics" magazine goes on sale. You have to close it!" ... Chapter 128: Can earn 100 million! In the new week, "Jiuding Daily" directly announced the total sales of "Economy" magazine. After the announcement of a number of 1 to 0, the entire press in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia was completely silent. This is an extremely brilliant number, and it is also a number that makes them feel deeply powerless. For Jiuding Newspaper Company, they have completely extinguished the idea of ??surpassing it. This is not a number they can achieve. One million magazines are sold at a high price of 2.5 Hong Kong dollars each, which is so much higher than the price of their newspapers that I don¡¯t know where it is. They can still sell one million copies. The average daily sales of 142,800 copies is also more than that. How do they compare the daily sales volume of Hong Kong¡¯s third "Ming Pao"? What''s more, the most important foundation of Jiuding Newspaper Company is the "Jiuding Daily". The total daily sales volume on the latest day reached 800,000 copies, which is another figure that makes them admire. "Jiuding Daily" has set a new record of newspaper sales in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong time and time again, and the dominant position is becoming increasingly indestructible! In addition to "Jiuding Daily" and "Economics" magazines, don¡¯t forget that Jiuding Newspaper Company also published "Xun Qin Ji". After accumulating sales this week, the total sales of "Xun Qin Ji" also exceeded one million sets, reaching One hundred and fifty thousand sets, two volumes add up to 2.1 million copies. The company''s total sales reached 6.2 million. Xia Yu''s contribution fees and the company''s gross profit add up to more than 3 million, and this number will continue to increase with subsequent sales. The only pity is that not all the users who bought the book have turned into the support of the "Jiuding Daily". It is estimated that some of them are passersby fans or readers who lack compulsiveness and patience in reading books. In the second week, the second issue of "Economics" magazine was released again, and the cumulative total sales dropped by a large amount in a week to only 680,000 copies, which is 20,000 copies short of the 700,000 copies expected by Xia Yu. , But it also exceeded his expectations of 600,000 copies, and Xia Yu was also very satisfied. The next thing to do is to stabilize the 680,000 subscriptions, and then continue to find ways to increase sales! During this period of time, Jiuding Newspaper Company once again held an advertising space bidding meeting, and the results were very gratifying! Holding the "Jiuding Daily", which covers the entire Southeast Asia and Omen of Hong Kong, with a daily sales of 800,000 copies, and considering that a newspaper is definitely not limited to one person, the impact of the crowd can definitely exceed one million. There is also a weekly "Economic" magazine with sales of 680,000 copies, covering more than 680,000 people, and this group of people is still a group of people with high spending power and high commercial value, which is the favorite high-quality user group of advertisers. And these two platforms have achieved the first! And far ahead! With these two platforms in hand, advertisers are waving checks towards Jiuding Newspaper Company in order to grab those rare advertising resources. Because of the scarcity of resources, the enthusiasm for the competition is astonishing. The competition in the bidding is fierce, and the price of each advertising space is so high that Yan Wenhan, who is hosting the bidding, can''t keep his mouth closed. Finally, according to statistics, the advertising revenue of "Jiuding Daily" this month reached 3.6 million, more than three times the advertising revenue of the first month of one hundred and ten thousand! The advertising revenue of 3.6 million, divided by the daily sales of 800,000 copies, the average monthly advertising value of each newspaper is 4.5 Hong Kong dollars, and the daily advertising value is 0.15 Hong Kong dollars, which is not too high. But thinking about this month later, the daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" are more than three times as high as before. It is not surprising that there are such high advertising revenues! Of course, the advertising spaces in this auction are all fixed advertising spaces. In addition to these fixed advertising spaces, "Jiuding Daily" also has other active advertising spaces that can be * such as rich adverts! Directly let "Jiuding Daily" write a soft article and put it in a position with high exposure rate. This kind of advertising value is also extremely high, of course, the advertising fee is not much lower. However, this kind of soft text needs to take into account the specific circumstances before receiving the order, and it should not appear too frequently, which will affect the user''s reading experience, so it will not be placed in the advertising bidding meeting to attract investment. Therefore, the monthly advertising income of 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars is not the final income, and the advertising income will definitely only be high or low in one month! The advertising revenue of "Economics" magazine also exploded, and more than "Jiuding Daily"! According to the design of Jiuding Newspaper Company, an "Economy" magazine has a total of 40 pages. In addition to the official copy of the external order, the fixed advertising space on each page and the advertising space on the first and last cover pages add up. Scary, more than twice that of "Jiuding Daily"! However, despite the large number of advertising spaces, "Economics" magazine has too special status, and its sales and influence are too strong. As a result, there are too many advertisers to grab, and there are still too many monks and porridges, and all of them are robbed. Because "Economics" magazine is a weekly issue, unlike the daily issue of "Jiuding Daily", it has ample time to receive and arrange advertisements. Therefore, the advertising charging model of "Economics" magazine is also different. It is once a week instead of "Jiuding Daily" once a month like that! Because the first issue of "Economics" magazine did not receive advertisements, it started from the "Second Issue", and there is no journal in Southeast Asia and the Omen area of ??Hong Kong that can compare with "Economics" magazine, even the sales volume exceeds There are no 100,000 copies, so there is no way to compare The value of each advertising space is not easy to determine. For this reason, Xia Yu directly ordered Yan Wenhan to bid directly for each advertising space in the first "Economic" magazine advertising bidding. The highest bidder won the bid, and the winning bid price also became the reference price for the next issue. Starting from the next issue, the form of receiving advertisements in "Economics" magazine will be richer and more convenient, that is, Jiuding Newspaper Company directly sells each advertising space at a clear price. Whichever you want to buy, you don''t have to worry about it. Came over to bid for advertising space once a week. It can be said that Jiuding Newspaper Company is also very considerate to serve customers! Because the "Economic" magazine has too many pages and many advertising spaces, the second issue of advertising revenue reached 1.8 million! Divided by the sales of 680,000 copies, the advertising revenue per issue per issue is 2.65 Hong Kong dollars, which is much higher than the 0.15 Hong Kong dollars per issue of Jiuding Daily! But think about the number of advertising spaces in "Economics" magazine and the value of users. In fact, the value is not high! You must know that each issue of the magazine lasts for seven days. If you add up the seven-day advertising revenue of Jiuding Daily, there is also an advertising revenue of 1.05 Hong Kong dollars. The actual difference is not big! The advertising revenue of one issue of "Economics" magazine is 1.8 million, and 52 issues can be issued a year. Even if the sales of "Economics" magazine no longer increase, as long as the advertising space is sold every time, then The fixed advertising revenue can reach nearly 94 million Hong Kong dollars! Coupled with the monthly advertising revenue of "Jiuding Daily" of at least 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars, it can reach 43 million Hong Kong dollars in one year! Adding the two together, in an ideal state, Jiuding Newspaper can exceed 100 million in advertising revenue a year, reaching 137 million Hong Kong dollars! It is definitely a shocking number! Exposure will definitely scare colleagues to death! Chapter 129: 18. Six% of the shares However, Xia Yu will only make a fortune in a muffled voice and will not announce financial reports. After all, Jiuding News is not a listed company. There is no need to announce financial reports to the outside world and will not be listed in the future. Exposure will definitely attract hatred, after all, these advertising revenues are snatched from peers! Every year, the paper media advertising market is so big, like a big cake, "Jiuding Daily" cuts more, and other newspapers and magazines eat less! It is estimated that the life of other newspapers is not easy now. After all, so many advertisers have come to Jiuding Newspaper Company and have caused harm to others. Xia Yu has no need to pull hatred! In fact, 137 million Hong Kong dollars is worth seeing a lot, and that is also in Hong Kong. This year, the official exchange rate of US dollar to Hong Kong dollar was about 1:4.5, and 137 million Hong Kong dollars was converted into US dollars at 30 million US dollars. Among them, the ideal advertising revenue of "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines converted into US dollars are 9.55 million US dollars and less than 21 million US dollars respectively. However, in the United States, the sales volume of 800,000 "Jiuding Daily" is definitely not in the top ten. It is estimated that the top 20 are not enough, but the annual advertising revenue of newspapers with the same sales volume absolutely exceeds 20 million US dollars! It is twice as high as the "Jiuding Daily"! The "Economy" magazine with a sales volume of 680,000 cannot make it into the top ten in the United States, but the annual advertising revenue of magazines with the same sales volume will not be less than 70 million, which is much higher than 30 million! So this comparison, in fact, the advertising value of "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines is still underestimated! But there is no alternative. The economic level of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong is much worse than that of Europe and America! Even if the "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines that dominate Southeast Asia and Hong Kong now are invincible, they can still be placed in a place where the media industry like the United States is extremely developed, and they still fall short of the top ten in the same field. This is a regional economy. The situation decides, Xia Yu has no choice! Think about those domestic magazines with sales of less than one million in later generations. In 2009, they would have an advertising revenue of 560 million. Xia Yu secretly told himself that "Jiuding Daily" and "Economics" magazines still have a long way to go. ! It is so prominent, in fact, because the water in the Xiangjiang River is relatively shallow, and it is still not very noticeable in the world. The world is too big! ... This time, "Jiuding Daily" sold a month''s advertisement, and "Economics" magazine sold a week''s advertisement. The total income of 5.4 million Hong Kong dollars has all been credited to the company''s account. In addition, "Looking for the Qin" sold 1 million sets, and the total sales reached 6.3 million. After removing the cost and the money invested in purchasing printing equipment, the remaining profit was 3.6 million, and all of them were in. Company account. A total of nine million in revenue! Add in some of the money the company makes from selling newspapers and magazines, as well as the advertising fees from copywriting ads that were received halfway, and then removing some of the company¡¯s total purchases and expenses, and now there are 880 in the company¡¯s account. One hundred thousand. Because in the next period of time, the company will start to make big moves. It will cost a lot to set up branches in various countries and regions. Xia Yu left a sum of 3.8 million, and proposed 5 million to enter Jiuding Securities. Account. Once again, I asked Liu Tianci to allocate 50 million yuan in ten times leverage, plus the previous 235 million, and the total capital that the securities company can operate reached 285 million. Xia Yu urgently drew funds to invest in it, not only because he wanted money to make money, but also because time was tight, and he had to quickly acquire enough shares in Qingzhou Yingni Company and Wharf. Because the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company is almost unconcealed! The war is coming, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. must ensure enough funds to cope with emergencies, without delaying the secret purchase of Wharf''s shares! After instructing Wang Qi before, a few days later, Xia Yu directly affirmed that the other organization that secretly purchased Qingzhou Yingni was definitely on Li Chaoren''s side. From then on, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi to continue to buy the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company, and began to contact those small shareholders to purchase their shares. Today, Wang Qi reported to Xia Yu that from the analysis of stock transactions, the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company should have been discovered. Not only was it discovered by Li Chaoren, but also the Keynes family, the controller of Qingzhou Yingni Company. Probably noticed! After receiving the news, Xia Yu did not stay and immediately went to Jiuding Securities. "Wang Qi, how is the situation now?" As soon as he came to the securities company, Xia Yu directly approached Wang Qi and asked. "Boss, in two weeks, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingmu has risen from 0.8 Hong Kong dollars per share to 0.9 Hong Kong dollars, and the market value has reached 90 million Hong Kong dollars, and today it has the largest increase, reaching 0.02 Hong Kong dollars~www.novelhall.com ~The number of stocks on the market has been greatly reduced. It is estimated that the other party has also noticed the difficulty of rushing to raise funds, and began to rely on price increases to rush to buy, and does not want to hide it anymore." Wang Qi quickly reported. "Then how many shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company have we acquired now?" Xia Yu asked again. "Boss, 50 accounts add up, and a total of 18.6 million shares were acquired, a total of 18.6% of the shares, at a cost of 15.2 million Hong Kong dollars!" Wang Qili Mahui reported that this data has long been in his mind. After listening, Xia Yu nodded lightly, with a satisfied smile on his face. "It''s a good job, but this share is still too small. The stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company is very simple to speculate. The heart is that every time you buy a share, you will make a share of money. You continue to arrange manpower to buy in the market." Yu first praised Wang Qi, and then ordered again. "By the way, contact other institutions and the minority shareholders of Qingzhou Yingni Company, what''s the situation with the acquisition?" "Boss, it''s already in progress, and 4% of 18.6% of the shares were acquired in this way. I will let people speed up the progress." Wang Qi said. "The time is running out. It doesn''t matter if you ask someone to increase the price. The purpose is to acquire shares as soon as possible. I suspect that the other party is also acting fast!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a straightforward voice. With Li Chaoren''s contacts and skills, as long as he wants to acquire shares from other institutions and shareholders, the difficulty is definitely much simpler than that of Xia Yu. Now I hope that he hasn''t reacted yet, so he will quickly acquire more shares in front of him. Although relative to the Keynes family of Qingzhou Yingni Company, Jiuding Securities and Li Chaoren are both in the dark. However, between Jiuding Securities and Li Chaoren, Jiuding Securities was also in the dark, but because Xia Yu guessed it was him, Li Chaoren was exposed. Chapter 130: Evergreen Fund Now that the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company is beginning to rise, it can¡¯t be hidden. Xia Yu simply takes the initiative. After acquiring enough stocks, he will not move. Then he will find an opportunity to expose Li Chaoren and let him fight the Keynes family. Reap the benefits of the fisherman. When they are fighting fiercely, whether Xia Yu sells the stock to which party, or simply sells it directly to the market, he will make a steady profit without losing. At that time, it will be a matter of earning more and less! A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and he thought to himself. "How about the acquisition of Wharf''s stock?" After asking about the situation of Qingzhou Yingni, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi again about the acquisition of Wharf''s stock. No matter what, Xia Yu has a way to make the Qingzhou Yingni Company''s operation stable and profitable, so Wharf should be more concerned about it. After all, it is the bulk of the subsequent profit, and of course the weight in his heart is heavier. "Boss, the stock price of Wharf is not fluctuating at present. We are still the only company in the acquisition. Because the number of outstanding shares in Wharf is very large, our acquisition has not caused much disturbance. So far, we have acquired the stock price. At 13.5 Hong Kong dollars, compared to the previous 13.3 Hong Kong dollars, the price has only increased by 0.2 Hong Kong dollars." "And our 50 accounts have acquired 9.21 million shares in total, 9.4% in total, at a cost of 123 million Hong Kong dollars!" Wang Qihui reported. Xia Yu nodded lightly and calculated in his mind that the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company¡¯s stock cost 15.2 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the acquisition of Wharf¡¯s stock of 123 million Hong Kong dollars, the total cost was 130 million. 8.2 million Hong Kong dollars! The company''s working capital is still 146.8 million! "Continue to buy the shares of Wharf, and at the same time start to buy the shares of Cheung Kong, go!" Xia Yu thought for a while and said to Wang Qi. "Okay, boss!" Wang Qi was a little strange. He didn''t know why the boss suddenly asked him to buy the shares of Yangtze River Holdings at this time, but he didn''t think too much about it, because the boss had plans in his heart and he just had to execute it. After Wang Qi had left, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth curled up. His last order just now had his consideration. There is more than one billion of funds left. Without being discovered, since 9.21 million shares of Wharf have been acquired, the number of outstanding shares on the market is much less, making the acquisition difficult. Will increase a lot. If you want to continue to acquire Wharf stocks without being discovered, you can only slow down. Then it will take a long time for this more than 100 million yuan of funds to be used, and it will definitely not be spent in less than 20 days. but! Xia Yu couldn¡¯t let the funds lie idle on the books. After all, he used HSBC¡¯s ten times the financial allocation, which is equivalent to asking HSBC to borrow more than two billion yuan, and he would pay interest every additional day. Xia Yu will lose if he doesn''t make money when he is idle! Therefore, Xia Yu must use the money as much as possible. I have been idle before because it is not the time to use it. It doesn''t matter if I suffer a little loss. After all, I can earn it back according to the plan. Now it''s finally time! Next, Xia Yu wanted to provoke Li Chaoren''s acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company. Moreover, according to Li Chaoren''s character and Qingzhou Yingni Company is indeed a strategic plan of the Cheung Kong Industrial Group, he will not give up easily. So Xia Yu can sell the stock to Superman Li, anyway, to make money for Superman Li is also to make money, and to make money for the Keynes family is also to make money, it is better to sell it to Superman Li, but also to get some friendship. But making only one hand of profit is not in line with Xia Yu''s character. He seeks to maximize his profits! If Li Chaoren succeeds in acquiring Qingzhou Yingni Company, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings will definitely rise, not only because it is beneficial to Cheung Kong, but also because it will be the first victory for Chinese capital to attack British capital. This honor will definitely give feedback. In terms of stock price, it will help Cheung Kong''s share price soar. If you hold the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, you will be able to lie down and make money! At that time, Xia Yu will use "Jiuding Daily" as an assist, put a high hat on Li Chaoren, and the stock price will not be fired! At that time, after Cheung Kong''s share price soared, Xia Yu would then liquidate and withdraw, and he would have more funds to buy the shares in Wharf. This kind of behavior of producing ammunition while fighting, or seizing arms from other forces while fighting to improve your own strength, is the fastest way to grow! Fight to support war! It can be said that Xia Yu has considered all aspects of Qingzhou Yingni''s plan this time, and there will never be a problem! Whether funds can skyrocket again depends on this battle! ... Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd., a company that has only been established for more than a year, has no reputation in Xiangjiang, and it is still unknown until now. However, it cannot be ignored because it has a great relationship with Cheung Kong Holdings Co., Ltd. It has the same behind-the-scenes boss-Li Chaoren. In 1977, last year Hutchison and Whampoa merged again and became the current Hutchison Whampoa. Although Hutchison Whampoa holds more than 300 companies, the newly formed Hutchison Whampoa Huangpu is still losing money again and again. However, Hutchison Whampoa still has many high-quality assets. Such a company naturally arouses the coveting of many Xiangjiang businessmen, and Li Chaoren is naturally among them. Since then, he has been thinking about it in his heart. He didn¡¯t fight insecure battles. He wanted to acquire at least a capable acquisition team. In addition, the financial industry did make money. Just after the stock market crash, it was also very suitable for bargaining, so he simply established a fund management company. the company. It is now Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd. Because the gap between Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa is too large, the assets are only about one-tenth of Hutchison Whampoa. If Hutchison Whampoa is acquired directly, it would be too blatant and it will easily arouse hostility from Hutchison Whampoa, and there are other Negative impact. So it is much easier to have the skin of Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd. Because he has not yet found a suitable opportunity, Li Chaoren only asked Evergreen Fund to purchase a small amount of Hutchison Whampoa shares, mostly from the stock market to make money and train troops. Not long ago, Li Chaoren once again discovered that the value of Qingzhou Yingni Company was buried. Qingzhou Yingni Company, which has hundreds of thousands of square meters of land in the redstone survey area, will show its value in just one or two years. , And the time in the future will only become more and more valuable, which is very suitable for the medium and long-term strategic planning of Cheung Kong. After some thoughts and discussions, he decided to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company. Of course, Evergreen Fund Management Company came out again. Although the progress has been mediocre from the beginning of the acquisition to the present, Li Chaoren is not in a hurry. Good soup must be made slowly! Not urgent! Not urgent! Focus on stability! Chapter 131: The acquisition was exposed! It''s just that things are impermanent, Li Chaoren is destined to be unable to make soup slowly! Today, after he received a call from Wu Lei, the general manager of Evergreen Fund, he had to worry. Because Wu Lei told him that there were organizations on the market that were also buying the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company, and it had been hidden before. It was only exposed today. After realizing that it was wrong, Wu Lei hurried to contact him. At this time, Li Chaoren couldn''t sit still, and immediately came to Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd. "Wu Lei, what''s the situation now?" Li Chaoren asked Wu Lei with a slightly solemn expression. "Boss, I noticed something wrong yesterday. When I arranged for someone to buy stocks secretly today, when I found signs that the other party was raising the price and we were rushing to raise funds, I immediately notified you." "I have now ordered people to stop the acquisition, to avoid violent fluctuations in Qingzhou Yingni¡¯s stock price due to the fight with the other party and attract the attention of the Keynes family. You previously told me to hide as much as possible before acquiring 25% of the shares, but now we only buy When it comes to 13% of the shares, the shares are not enough, so I dare not expose it." Wu Lei said with ashamed expression, and at the same time explained a little. After all, the boss Li Chaoren''s order was not fulfilled, and he also knew that this time''s plan was of great strategic significance to Cheung Kong, but he did not expect that there was a problem with him. Li Chaoren nodded lightly, did not say much, but frowned slightly and thought deeply. For a long time, he commanded in a deep voice: "Don''t hide it, just grab the money. If the Keynes family is not stupid, they should have discovered the problem, but I don''t know how long it will take for them to respond. Now he immediately tells other shareholders of Qingzhou Yingmu Company. Purchase their shares at a premium of 20%, don¡¯t delay!" The premium of 20% is not much in Li Chaoren¡¯s opinion. If you are rushing to raise money on the stock market and have opponents, and then discovered by the Keynes family, including him, with at least three parties, then the stock price will rise by 20%. Simple things. In this case, it is better to have a 20% premium at the beginning, first get the hand and then talk about it, maybe you can make a profit compared with the latter! "Understood!" Wu Lei said with a serious expression. "Action now!" Li Chaoren asked Wu Lei to act after speaking. But he immediately returned home and started making calls. "Hey, Lin Sheng, I am Li Chaoren. I heard that you have shares in Qingzhou Yingni Company..." "Hey, Xu Sheng, I''m Superman Li..." ... When Li Chaoren kept calling other shareholders of Qingzhou Yingni Company to discuss the purchase of shares, the atmosphere in the Cairns family villa on Hong Kong Island was also a bit solemn. The 62-year-old Simpson Keynes, the head of the Keynes family, looked at his anxious son, Upton Keynes, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Upton, you sit down first, calm down, you will be anxious. Affect your thinking." Upton, who was 36 years old, took a few deep breaths to calm his mood. Then he sat across from his father Simpson, looked at his old father solemnly, and said: "Father, when I found out that there was a problem with the stock price, I asked me to immediately investigate the stock price fluctuations during this period. I have determined that someone is buying our company''s stock. , And it¡¯s been at least ten days. It¡¯s definitely a problem to hide it for acquisition." "I am worried that some people want to buy our company. With the continuous cash out and financing for so many years, the shares in our family''s hands have been decreasing. Now our family only holds 32% of the shares, which is far from the absolute holding of 51%. The weight is still 19%, and there is still a lot of risk!" "Father, do you think we are going to buy stocks immediately to increase the equity in our hands?" Upton asked, looking at his father seriously after speaking. His father Simpson is the chairman of the board of directors of Qingzhou Yingmu Company, and under the arrangement of his father, he has now joined Qingzhou Yingmu Company as a department manager. According to his father''s plan, he will be the general manager of the company before the age of 40. After that, he slowly took over the position of chairman of the board from his father. But now, it seems that someone wants to grab the company. Of course, Upton is nervous. After all, he has greater ambitions than his father Simpson, and he also has great ambitions to achieve. If the company is robbed, how can he? To realize your dream? Therefore, he is very vigilant for any threat of stealing the company! "Don¡¯t worry, 32% of the shares are still insured. Swire Pacific has 8% of our company¡¯s shares. I have a good friendship with Norman Shiya, the owner of the Shi Yahuai family. If we want, we will give a certain price. , That 8% of the shares will soon be in our hands." "In ten days, I want to buy stocks from the stock market and other shareholders. There will be no more. We still have time. The main problem now is to find out if anyone really wants to buy our company. Most importantly, it will make us make wrong judgments!" Simpson Keynes said slowly. "Well, father, I''ll order someone to inquire about the news again!" Upton took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and said in a low mood. "Huh!" Seeing his son''s performance, Simpson smiled kindly. "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang, making a sharp, harsh sound. Old Simpson raised his brows and motioned to his son Upton, who immediately connected the phone. "Hey, this is the Keynesian house... what... it''s me... ok..." As soon as he got on the phone, Upton hadn''t responded, but when he heard the voice of the employee he sent to stare at the stock price on the phone, he became a little nervous. When he heard the employee''s report, his face changed. After changing, UU reading looked at his father Simpson in a little panic, and then hung up the phone after asking about the situation. "What''s the matter?" Without waiting for Upton to ask, Old Simpson, who saw something wrong with his son, had no intention of tempering his son''s temperament, and immediately asked. "Father, it was a call from an employee of the company just now. He just received my order to stare at the stock price. Because I went home, he asked him to call home as soon as he had a problem. Just now he told me that the stock price is now It has already started to rise, from 0.9 Hong Kong dollars per share to 0.95 Hong Kong dollars, they no longer hide, they have begun to raise stocks!" "Maybe the enemy has already acquired a certain amount of stock, otherwise he won''t take the initiative to jump out, father, what should we do now? We must act now!" Upton looked at his father nervously, his hips kept moving, obviously sitting Can''t help it. Old Simpson''s old face was full of solemnity, his brows were tightly frowned, and he thought quickly. He sniffed a deep crisis from this. He thought there was still time, but now he is rushing to raise money directly, then the other party definitely has a certain degree of confidence, otherwise he will not take the initiative to expose it. This situation is somewhat familiar. Old Simpson thought for a while before he woke up. It was very similar to a scene he saw with a telescope when he was hunting in India when he was young. It was a tiger, constantly approaching a deer, and when he felt that the opportunity was great, He rushed towards the deer directly and violently. The scene of the tiger hunting left a deep impression in his mind. But I didn''t expect that now his Qingzhou Yingni Company seems to have become a prey in the eyes of others, and it is already launching an offense! "It''s just that it''s hard to say whether you are a tiger or not, I am definitely not a deer!" Old Simpson''s muddy eyes suddenly brightened, and he thought to himself. Chapter 132: All parties respond Just before Li Chaoren and Simpson reacted to each other, Xia Yu also came to the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities to look for Liu Tianci after leaving Jiuding Securities. "Liu Sheng, good morning!" Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with Liu Tianci. "Xia Sheng, good morning!" "I haven''t seen you during this period of time. The business is so hot that I can''t get away. Congratulations! Now Jiuding Newspaper Company is definitely the largest media company. Now other newspapers call you a newspaper tycoon!" Liu Tianci Looking at Xia Yu, congratulated with some emotion. In the past two weeks, Jiuding Newspaper has made great strides in the paper media industry, setting records one by one, making a sensation throughout Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. Especially for the "Economy" magazine, Xia Yu sent someone to give him a copy at the first time. At that time, he read the "Economy" magazine for two full days. It was also a lot for him. Bulk subscription. It was only when he was shocking the performance of Jiuding Newspaper Company that Liu Tianci also recalled the past, and suddenly realized that Xia Yu¡¯s fortune was actually only more than a month away, but in just over a month, Xia Yu did not work for anyone else in his entire life. What the method can do has rapidly risen to the top of the newspaper industry. This gave Liu Tianci an unreal illusion! It''s just that Xia Yu''s fortune was something he saw with his own eyes, and he couldn''t make a fake. He can only feel that Xia Yu is very comparable to others. It is estimated that Xiangjiang is difficult to produce one in a century. He is the kind of person who is born to do big things. "What a tycoon, it''s just those newspapers talking nonsense, which can''t be true." Xia Yu waved his hand and smiled helplessly. Liu Tianci smiled slightly, did not dwell on this topic too much, but asked, "Xia Sheng, is there anything you came to see me for?" "I really have something to trouble you." "I would like to ask you to help me acquire the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Co., Ltd., as you know, my Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has just been established and lacks contacts. It is not easy to acquire it." Xia Yu said about his purpose of coming. Came out. Liu Tianci raised his brows. Knowing Xia Yu''s character and abilities, he knew that someone was going to be unlucky. After all, Xia Yu could find him to help with the acquisition. Taking it so seriously, the action is certainly not small. Thinking about Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. just established, it really needs a victory to build a reputation. In addition, he also heard from the Qingzhou Yingclay Company that the market value is eight to nine million Hong Kong dollars. As long as there is a little movement, it is easy to rush to the market value of hundreds of millions. And Xia Yu has more than two billion funds in his hands. It definitely won''t be a small mess. Then it can be imagined that this stock market war will definitely be fierce, much more fierce than that of Dafa Real Estate. Now Xia Yu asks him to help, using the energy of HSBC Securities to buy the shares of Qingzhou Yingni, he will naturally not refuse. After all, HSBC Securities also has this business, and this business also has handling fees. Xia Yu is also generating income for him. Up. Liu Tianci did not hesitate, nodded directly and said: "No problem, this matter is on my body." "Liu Sheng, please speed it up. The premium is within 30%. Of course, the lower the better, but as soon as possible, I am worried that others will also acquire it, and please keep it confidential and not reveal our company." Xia Yu His expression solemnly entrusted. Before it is exposed, it is better not to jump out to attract the attention of Li Chaoren and the Keynes family. Xia Yu hopes that he will seize the initiative and take the initiative to jump out at that time, and then it will be time to harvest the fruits of victory. If exposed in advance, it will not only affect his plan, but also cause unnecessary trouble for him. "Xia Sheng, don''t worry, there will be no problems on my side!" Liu Tianci assured with resolute face. "Then trouble you, by the way, Liu Sheng, this is the shareholder list of Qingzhou Yingmu Company that I investigated. Please start as soon as possible!" "I will send someone to act now." Liu Tian took a quick glance at the list given by Xia Yu and said. Seeing Liu Tianci''s action, Xia Yu was also relieved. ... On the second day, when Xia Yu asked Wang Qi again about the progress of the acquisition, he learned that he had acquired a total of 1.2% of the shares from the two minority shareholders, and grabbed 0.7% of the shares from the market, and acquired a total of 1.9%. , A total of 2 million Hong Kong dollars was spent. The acquisition of Jiuding Securities did not go well, but Liu Tianci brought good news to Xia Yu. HSBC Securities is worthy of being a giant in the Heung Kong Securities industry, and its energy is huge enough. In less than a day, with the list provided by Xia Yu, the acquisition of HSBC Securities went smoothly. A total of 4.9% of the shares were acquired from eight minority shareholders, and the lowest was only a premium of 10%, and the highest was only a premium of 15%, which was not efficient. It is not high. It¡¯s a pity that the shares of the shareholders with more equity were not acquired. Even though Liu Tianci¡¯s people raised the price by 30%, the shareholders still did not express their views, and their attitude was very perfunctory, not knowing whether they were sold or refused to sell. , If it can be acquired, it will definitely be more than but unfortunately, if others don¡¯t sell it, that¡¯s something you can¡¯t force! After the acquisition, Liu Tianci directly transferred the shares to Xia Yu. At the same time, Liu Tianci also told Xia Yu that in the process of acquiring the shares, he learned that several small shareholders had already sold the shares, and it was not long before Liu Tianci''s contact. But when asked who acquired the acquisition, none of the minority shareholders said it. Liu Tianci also guessed that the people who acquired the acquisition were not less energetic, and the efficiency was not worse than that of HSBC Securities. He felt that this news was useful to Xia Yu, so he also transferred the equity. Told Xia Yu. In this regard, Xia Yu had already been mentally prepared, so that Liu Tianci did not have to worry. Seeing how Xia Yu didn''t care at the time, Liu Tianci knew that Xia Yu knew it, so he didn''t say much. ... Except for the acquisitions by Xia Yu and Liu Tianci, Li Chaoren is not slow to respond, constantly buying shares and expanding his holdings. "Wu Lei, what''s the situation with the acquisition now?" At the office of Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd., Li Chaoren appeared again and asked Wu Lei. "Boss, yesterday we raised the price in the stock market to raise the price. So far, we have once again raised 2.2% of the shares. Together with the original 13% of the shares, we now have 15.2% of the shares." "Yesterday afternoon, the rush to raise money was very fierce. It seems that another organization came in to raise money. So far I haven¡¯t found out who it is, but it¡¯s very likely that the Keynes family has entered. It''s clear, and I haven''t found out who it is." "Because of the fierce bidding, the stock price has risen to 1.04 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the newly acquired 2.2 million shares cost us 2.22 million Hong Kong dollars." After Wu Lei reported the situation in one go, he stood quietly watching Li Chaoren, waiting for orders. Chapter 133: Ignite stock price Li Chaoren nodded and said: "I personally acquired 6.7% of the equity, so we now have 21.9% of the equity in our hands." "That''s great, you are the boss!" Wu Lei said with joy, and at the same time gently patted Li Chaoren''s flattery. Li Chaoren was not happy, frowned and thought for a while, and said to Wu Lei again: "Don''t be happy, I have tried everything that can be acquired, and others are also acquiring equity. It is estimated that the stocks in the hands of large and small shareholders It should be gone, but the 3.1% equity that is short of 25% can only be snapped up on the market. At all costs, we must grab another 3.1 million shares!" Li Chaoren learned about the board structure of Qingzhou Yingni Company. It is easy to enter the board of directors. The current equity is completely sufficient. But he doesn''t want to be just a decoration-like director. What he needs is real power. The acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company is the medium and long-term strategic needs of Cheung Kong Industrial. His ultimate goal is to take control of Qingzhou Yingni Company and then annex it into Cheung Kong. If he wants to complete this strategy faster and better, then he absolutely must be the owner of Qingzhou Yingni Company. In this case, he must enter the board of directors as a director with real power, and then find a way to become the chairman of the board of directors, so that Qingzhou Yingni Company can be successfully annexed by Yangtze River Industrial. His original plan was to secretly purchase 25% of the equity, and then rushed directly to the board of directors to catch the Keynes family by surprise, and then kept a low profile for a period of time, slowly nibbling, boiled frogs in warm water, and finally achieved holding. Only a good plan has changed. Not only did his secret purchase plan go bankrupt, which aroused the vigilance of the Keynes family, but now an unknown opponent has appeared, greatly increasing the difficulty of his acquisition. But Li Chaoren is not someone who will give up easily. Since he has already acted, no matter what, at least he must first acquire 25% of the equity and rush into the board of directors to become a director with real power. What should I do next, I can only act by chance! ... After Simpson Keynes contacted the directors of several companies, he received news that made him angry and shocked. The shares of several directors were sold without notifying him. This situation made Simpson Keynes finally unable to sit still. He did not expect the other party to be so fast, and to get these shareholders so quickly, so the energy is definitely not small, this time, the trouble is big! Simpson, who finally set his mindset, did not hesitate and directly contacted Norman Shi Yahuai, the Shi Yahuai family of Swire International, and wanted to acquire 8% of Qingzhou Yingni Company''s shares in Swire International. The process is very simple, with the previous friendship, and Simpson did not think of taking advantage, and directly acquired at a premium. Norman Shiyahuai easily sold the equity to Simpson. The Keynes family originally had 32% of the shares. After acquiring 8% of the shares in Swire International, it already has 40%. However, it is still 11% short of Absolute Holdings. Risks still exist! Combined with the hands and energy of unknown opponents, Simpson guessed that the power of the hands-on is definitely stronger than their Keynes family, so he dared not take a chance and go directly to the market to raise scattered shares. In addition, he also mobilized contacts to acquire equity in the hands of other small and medium shareholders. But the result made him sink his heart, because every time he contacted those small and medium shareholders, he failed. The total equity in the hands of these shareholders was at least 18%, and he did not figure out whether the equity was sold to Who is it? In fact, think about it, it is not Li Chaoren or HSBC Securities who acquired the equity. Since the equity is sold, the Keynes family has already been pitted. If the buyer Li Chaoren or HSBC Securities is told to the Keynes family, the plan is broken, then it is definitely not two ends. Please, shareholders who can mix to this level are not fools, how could they tell Simpson this news! Taking into account that the enemy has bought at least ten percent of the shares in the market, plus this at least 18% of the shares, it adds up to more than 30%, which is not much worse than the equity of the Keynes family. A strong sense of crisis haunts Simpson! It''s a pity that Simpson thinks badly. He didn''t know that two forces were acquiring shares, thinking that there was only one. This was because the information was not equal, which led to his estimation mistakes. However, considering Xia Yu''s position, Simpson''s nervous response was also mistyped! ... With the Keynes family, Li Chaoren, and Jiuding Securities Co., the conflict has begun to become clear. The stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company has begun to rise rapidly, which has attracted the attention of some institutions. Since the Keynes family has a 40% stake, Li Chaoren also has a 21.9% stake, and Xia Yu already has a 25.4% stake, and the three parties together have an 87.3% stake. There are very few stocks scattered on the market, which makes stock prices very sensitive and the difficulty of acquisitions has increased sharply! Due to fierce bidding, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company rose directly to 1.3 Hong Kong dollars per share when the market was closed in the afternoon, which was 0.5 Hong Kong dollars higher than the previous 0.8 Hong Kong dollars, and rose 62.5% in just over ten days. . But this is far from the end. It is conceivable that there will be an evening buffer that will attract more people''s attention. When the market opens tomorrow, Qingzhou Yingni Company will definitely jump directly at the opening! At the end of this day, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has been constantly rushing to raise funds. With the addition of Xia Yu, it has only grabbed 400,000 shares in one day, which is 0.4%, plus With the previous 25.4%, Xia Yu already has a 25.8% equity in his hands. It can be expected that in this fierce situation, it will be difficult to grab stocks later, it is already time! The next day, before the stock market opened, the "Jiuding Daily" went on sale as usual, but in this issue of the newspaper, an article signed by Xia Yu appeared on the first page, which immediately attracted all readers. Pay attention, because Xia Yu has published less and less articles. It hasn''t been published in the past few days, and an article suddenly appeared, which naturally attracted the attention of all interested people. "A Gold Buried in Cement--Qingzhou Yingclay Company" Qingzhou Yingmu Company, founded in 1887, is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of cement, asphalt and concrete. It has a large share of the building materials market... However, what has been overlooked is that Qingzhou Yingni Company has hundreds of thousands of square meters of land in Hongshi Kanhai area, and the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is growing rapidly. With limited land and growing population, land prices will definitely skyrocket. Yingni Company is definitely holding Baoshan without knowing it! This is exactly a piece of gold buried in cement! The current stock price is totally unworthy of the value of Qingzhou Yingni Company. The stock price must be four or five times higher to be considered reasonable! However, recently, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingmu Company has started to skyrocket. Behind the soaring stock price is an expert fight. The author boldly guessed that there should be a real estate tycoon who discovered the potential value of Qingzhou Yingmu Company and is launching an acquisition war... So, is the acquirer New World Real Estate or Henderson Land Development? Is it Sun Hung Kai Properties? Or is it Cheung Kong Holdings? Or other real estate companies? let us wait and see! We will follow up at any time and let you know as soon as we have news! ... Chapter 134: Floating profit 26 million "No! It''s a big trouble!" Li Chaoren, who reads "Jiuding Daily" every day, opened the newspaper as usual, only the first article that caught his eye changed his face. When he saw that the author was Xia Yu, Li Chaoren''s face was even more ugly and he sucked deeply. Muttered in one breath. Xia Yu was once known as the **** of newspaper stocks before. He pointed out that investors never missed the stock market. After that, Tianwu Securities was about to go bankrupt. His reputation made Xia Yu and Jiuding Daily. Later, for some reason, Xia Yu became low-key and wrote less and less stock review articles, but this could not conceal his glorious record. In the hearts of the majority of investors, Xia Yu''s authority still exists. And because the fewer shots, the more threatening! But I didn''t expect Xia Yu to post an article again this time. The protagonist turned out to be Qingzhou Yingni Company. Now the entire Xiangjiang investors and institutions who have subscribed to "Jiuding Daily" definitely know Xia Yu''s article. This article clearly writes the value of Qingzhou Yingni Company, and also points out that the stock price is severely undervalued. It is conceivable that many people are definitely gearing up. When the stock market opens, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company will definitely jump substantially! The value of 21.9% of Li Chaoren¡¯s equity will definitely skyrocket, but Li Chaoren¡¯s goal is not to make money by trading stocks. His goal is to become a director of the board of directors and then annex Qingzhou Yingni. The equity in his hands will not be sold, so the price increase is right. His benefits can be ignored. On the contrary, because of the skyrocketing stock price, it will greatly increase the difficulty of his next acquisition. He definitely has to spend a higher price to acquire the shares. How does this make him happy! Realizing that the situation is not good, Li Chaoren can''t sit still, so he hurried to the Evergreen Fund Management Company. He has to sit down in person to ensure the stock acquisition. He is worried that Wu Lei will not be the master! ... In addition to Li Chaoren, Simpson and Upton also saw the news from the "Jiuding Daily" early in the morning and realized that it was not good. They immediately mobilized contacts to raise more funds to ensure that they could acquire enough stocks after the stock price soared. An article by Xia Yu directly panicked the two parties and also affected the others. This is Xia Yu''s current influence, and it is also a part of the influence of "Jiuding Daily"! After the stock market opened, this effect was more obvious! The stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company really jumped at the opening, and it jumped by nearly 40%. From the closing price of 1.3 Hong Kong dollars per share last night to 1.8 Hong Kong dollars per share, the market value directly rose from 130 million Hong Kong dollars. 50 million, reaching 180 million Hong Kong dollars! And this is definitely the beginning, only because Xia Yu has clearly analyzed the value of Qingzhou Yingni Company in the "Jiuding Daily". Qingzhou Yingni Company, which sits on hundreds of thousands of square meters of high-value land, is seriously undervalued. , A four or five times increase is not a problem. Now the market value has risen from 80 million Hong Kong dollars to 180 million Hong Kong dollars, which has only increased by 2.25 times, and it has to rise! Reunion until now, unknown forces happen to be acquiring Qingzhou Yingmu Company. This special situation has a positive effect on the company''s stock price. Qingzhou Yingmu Company''s stock price will definitely skyrocket! All the stockholders and institutions holding the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company are waiting excitedly, ready to make another share price they recognize and make a lot of money! Compared with the happiness of shareholders and holding institutions, Li Chaoren and the Keynes family are not happy. After all, the Keynes family''s goal is to achieve a 51% controlling stake, so the current stock price requires them to prepare at least nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars in capital, and this requires that others are now willing to sell, otherwise the price will definitely be higher! And Li Chaoren is relatively relaxed. After all, he only needs to purchase about 3% of the equity in advance. Not to mention that the current stock price is 1.8 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 5 million. Even if it continues to rise in the later period, compared with Li Superman''s net worth of billions is nothing! What''s more, in the real estate industry, there is not much else, that is, there is a lot of spare working capital, so it''s a trivial thing to spend this little money! It''s just that, even if it is a small amount of money, Li Chaoren is still a little depressed! "Wu Lei, continue to increase the price of the acquisition, must raise the equity to 25%!" In Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd., Li Chaoren ordered the general manager Wu Lei. "Understand!" Wu Lei nodded solemnly, and then quickly arranged the acquisition. In Jiuding Securities Company, when Xia Yu arrived, Wang Qi immediately greeted him. "Boss, it''s hard to grab stocks now. After your article was published, many investors held the stocks and refused to let go. There were no circulated stocks on the market, and they were swept away as soon as they came out! I bought 200,000 shares and never grabbed them again!" Wang Qihui reported. Xia Yu smiled lightly: ¡°It¡¯s okay. With the additional acquisition of 200,000 shares, we already have 26% of the shares. That¡¯s enough. We can stop buying the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company. Everyone will continue to buy Wharf and Wharf. Cheung Kong shares." "Okay! I''ll do it right away!" After Wang Qi took the order, he ran away immediately, and went to give Xia Yu''s order. Thinking of his 26% equity, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smiled, feeling very good. The acquisition of these 26 million shares cost him a total of 23.4 million shares. Such a low price is due to the fact that most of his shares were purchased at a price of 0.8 Hong Kong dollars per share in the previous period. And now the stock price has reached 1.8 Hong Kong dollars. No, after the market opened, the stock price has risen to 1.9 Hong Kong dollars per share. Now his 26 million shares have a market value of 49.4 million. In other words, he has achieved a floating profit of 26 million Hong Kong dollars! And this is not the end! How can this not make him happy? ! Seeing the constantly beating stock price Xia Yu was still a little too slow, a smile came up at the corner of his mouth, and he murmured, "You still have to put more fire!" "Li Chaoren, I don''t know if you will be grateful to me after you report tomorrow? I am very kind, haha!" ... At the end of the day, as Jiuding Securities exited the rush sequence, the battle was left with Li Chaoren and the Keynes family. The stock price rose relatively slowly, but when the market closed in the afternoon, the stock price had already started at 1.8 Hong Kong dollars in the morning. Rising to 2.2 Hong Kong dollars, the market value of Qingzhou Yingni Company has reached 220 million Hong Kong dollars, just reaching the 100th place on the top 100 Heung Kong enterprises list, and the market value of Freeman Group! Early the next morning, "Jiuding Daily" went on sale again. This time, Xia Yu posted another article, which directly made the people of Xiangjiang boil. And Superman Li and Simpson, who saw the content for the first time, really changed their faces! They are frightened! Chapter 135: Public opinion "The Rise of Chinese Capital-Cheung Kong Holdings acquires Qingzhou Yingni! ¡· According to the exact news, the attacker who acquired the Qingzhou Yingni Company turned out to be Cheung Kong Industrial Group, which was ranked 30th in the top 100 Heung Kong Enterprises! The Cheung Kong Industrial Group was founded by Chaoshan tycoon Li Chaoren, with a current market value of 1.27 billion Hong Kong dollars. The development momentum is very rapid, which shows Li Chaoren''s strong management ability. According to analysis, the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company is a good step for Cheung Kong Industrial Group. If Cheung Kong Industrial Group wants to become bigger and stronger in the real estate industry, it must have sufficient building materials supply capacity, and Qingzhou Yingni Company is just famous. The acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company, a supplier of cement and concrete in China, can play a very good role in reinforcing the Cheung Kong Group. In addition, the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company can improve the supply chain of the Cheung Kong Group, reduce construction costs, and enhance the competitiveness of the industry. No matter which real estate company acquires it, it has such an effect. Cheung Kong Group started a little later than other real estate companies. , The background and strength are relatively weak, and the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company will benefit the Changjiang Industrial Group even more. Furthermore, it was said yesterday that Qingzhou Yingni Company owns hundreds of thousands of square meters of land in the redstone prospecting area. The location is very good. As long as it is acquired, the Cheung Kong Industrial Group will build its foundation in that area for more than ten years. Going down, it will be much more difficult for other real estate companies to compete with the Cheung Kong Group over there... Regardless of the analysis, the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company will be of great benefit to the Changjiang Industrial Group... Moreover, before the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company rose, the market value was only 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and the asset value was much higher than the stock price. The stock price was equivalent to more than 6% of Cheung Kong Holdings. Cheung Kong Holdings was fully capable of It is completely annexed. In addition! This is the first time that Huazi has launched an acquisition from a large British company. Regardless of success or failure, Li Chaoren is the first person. The courage and courage are not comparable to ordinary people. If the acquisition is successful this time, it will be a great encouragement to my Chinese morale. ! As long as the acquisition is successful, this acquisition battle will definitely be recorded in the business history of Hong Kong, because it represents the rise of Chinese capital! ... "Damn it! It turns out that the Cheung Kong Industrial Group wants to acquire our company!" The moment he saw the article, Simpson''s old face was full of solemnity, he couldn''t help but cursed, and the good mood early in the morning disappeared completely. "Father, what should we do?" Upton Keynes looked at his father Simpson in a panic and asked anxiously. Cheung Kong Industrial Group, for Qingzhou Yingni Company, is indeed a giant, and the gap between the two is too big. Simpson was solemnly silent, his brain turned quickly, analyzing the pros and cons and coping methods. He felt a bit of breathing difficulty, as if a mountain was pressing on his heart. Cheung Kong Holdings! With a market value of 1.27 billion Hong Kong dollars, Cheung Kong Holdings ranks 30th in the authoritative rankings published by "Economics" magazine! Qingzhou Yingni Company is basically a child in front of Cheung Kong Industrial Group! He speculated yesterday that the acquirer would be a stronger company than Qingzhou Yingni Company, but he was not afraid, after all, he was not someone who had never seen the storm. But I didn''t expect the enemy to come back so big, the strength of the two sides is completely unequal! What he said yesterday was really wrong, the other party was really a tiger, and in front of the Cheung Kong Group, he was really like a deer! Despite the great pressure, Simpson was not reconciled to catch it. And he has no chance. Now he has 42% of the shares in his hands. Yesterday he acquired 2%. There is only a 9% gap from the 51% absolute controlling stake! As long as he achieves absolute control of Qingzhou Yingni Company, it will be useless even if HSBC comes, let alone Cheung Kong Holdings! But how to achieve absolute holding is very difficult! "It seems that Norman must be found!" Simpson decided secretly. "Upton, go all out to buy stocks, at all costs, I will find a way to fund it! I will go to the Shi Yahuai family now!" After a long period of thought, Simpson''s eyes became sharp, looking straight at his son Upton, and ordered. "I understand, father!" Seeing his father made up his mind and went to the Shi Yahuai family of Taikoo Foreign Firm for help, Upton''s ugly face also showed a trace of joy, and he nodded heavily. ... "Who is it that leaked the news?" After seeing the newspaper, Superman Li immediately told Wang Qi to grab the fund at all costs after the market opened, and then quickly called the company¡¯s management and asked them to come to the company for a meeting in advance. In the conference room, Superman Li was sitting At the top, his face was serious, his eyes swept across other people''s faces, and he asked in a deep voice. Hearing Li Chaoren''s words, everyone present was stunned and looked at each other, but no one spoke out, for fear of touching Li Chaoren''s mold. At the moment when they saw the "Jiuding Daily", all of them realized the seriousness of the problem and wondered if the company had a ghost. After all, the strategic plan for the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company was only mentioned within the company this month, and then quickly discussed and decided, but now it has been exposed by the "Jiuding Daily". They have no doubt that the "Jiuding Daily" is spreading rumors, because it is indeed Is the truth. So for the first time, they all suspected that the company had a ghost. After all, in order to clarify the relationship, the owner Li Chaoren¡¯s Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd. is responsible for the operation. There is only Wu Lei who knows the specific plan. It is impossible to divulge the information. The Youth Fund wants to invest, rather than directly specifying it is the Cheung Kong Industrial Group. Only more people in the Cheung Kong Holdings Group know the plan, so it is very likely that there is a problem here. There is a ghost in the company. This is a serious problem that everyone has to pay attention to. It''s a pity that the problem didn''t come from the Cheung Kong Group at all, but after Xia Yu guessed it, he sent someone to investigate the inside story of Evergreen Fund and directly determined it. Who made Xia Yu hang up? Ren Li Chaoren''s plan was seamless, but in front of the rebirth, he still couldn''t hide it. Therefore, this meeting is destined to find nothing substantial, and how Li Chaoren rectifies later is also his business. After the meeting, Li Chaoren immediately went to the Evergreen Fund. Since it has been exposed, he has also been forcibly detained by the "Jiuding Daily" as an offensive against the first person in the British capital. Li Chaoren was driven off the shelves by a duck. I have to be fierce! Originally intends to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company, and at this point, it is impossible for Li Chaoren to retreat. He can only rush forward and rush into the board of Qingzhou Yingni Company. Now it has been put on the fire by the "Jiuding Daily". Everyone knows the benefits of the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company to the Yangtze River Industrial Group. It should be said that it is a benefit to real estate companies. If Li Chaoren gives up, then other real estate tycoons will never give up opportunities. From his understanding, at least Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng will definitely be tempted, and these two people are already stronger than him. , Instead of giving up and strengthening the strength of the peers and making one''s own further behind, instead of strengthening the strength of the peers after giving up, it is better to do it yourself! And considering the hat that "Jiuding Daily" put on him, with the influence of "Jiuding Daily", this halo of attacking the first British capital was put on his head, and it was difficult to take it off. Success will have a lot of benefits, and the prestige will soar, and the stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings will soar. However, if it fails, it will also be dragged down. The stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings will definitely go down and it will be a serious blow to his reputation. Li Chaoren is now driven by a duck to the shelves, standing in the middle of the single-plank bridge, if he doesn''t want to fall into the quagmire, he can only bite the bullet and rush forward! This is the effect Xia Yu wants. He is worried that Li Chaoren will withdraw halfway. If there is no fight, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company will not rise too much, and he will not be able to make more profits. That''s why he came up with this trick, which made Li Chaoren afraid to retreat, and at the same time, the stock price went up again. It¡¯s just that although it¡¯s uncomfortable to be coerced by others, Li Chaoren does not hate the "Jiuding Daily". In any case, although it has caused him trouble, the "Jiuding Daily" has been touting him today, and it has also given him and Changjiang Industrial. The group is a rare opportunity, but other people want this opportunity yet. Therefore, this made him hate the "Jiuding Daily." But there will still be upsets. After all, he hasn''t been coerced for a long time since his career has flourished. Unfortunately, he is coerced by public opinion, and he doesn''t know who to vent, causing Li Chaoren to feel depressed. Chapter 136: Time has come The influence of public opinion has received timely feedback on the stock market. After the stock market opened, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company jumped again, and today it jumped by nearly 40%, from yesterday afternoon¡¯s closing price of 2.2 Hong Kong dollars to 3.1 Hong Kong dollars. The stock price of the mud company also soared to 310 million Hong Kong dollars! This situation makes retail investors who hold Qingzhou Yingni shares excitedly yelling in the stock market, while the shareholders who sold the shares before are very distressed. They hate how they couldn''t stand the temptation at the time, and they only paid a premium. The stock was sold for one-twentieth, and if you wait a few days, you can definitely increase it several times! Distressed! After the stock market opened, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings Group also rose. The total market value rushed to 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 30 million. This is because some people have great expectations for Li Chaoren and Cheung Kong Holdings, betting on Li Chaoren. If the acquisition is successful, bet that the stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings will rise sharply! It can be said that these people have a lot of confidence in Cheung Kong Holdings and Li Chaoren! The company¡¯s stock price increase was immediately known to Li Chaoren. After taking a deep breath, he was determined to continue the acquisition. Even if there were some losses in subsequent acquisitions, he could still accept it because the stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings would rise. Make up for his loss! ... Simpson Keynes went to Shi Yahuai''s family and met his home owner Norman Shi Yahuai as he wished. Norman Shiyahuai is 64 years old this year, two years older than Simpson Keynes. They have been very good friends since childhood. Unfortunately, as they took over, the gap between the two became larger and larger, and they seldom moved around. The friendship has not faded much because of this. "Norman, I''m in big trouble this time, I need your help." Simpson said after seeing Norman Shi Yahuai put down the "Jiuding Daily" in his hand. "Indeed, Cheung Kong Holdings is indeed a big opponent for you, and Li Chaoren is indeed a very powerful person." Norman Shi Yahuai took a sip of tea and sighed slowly. Hearing Norman Shi Yahuai''s plain comments, Simpson smiled helplessly, agreeing with Norman Shi Yahuai''s statement. It''s just that Norman Shiyahuai can say, but he can''t say it. After all, although the Cheung Kong Group is very strong, its market value is less than one-seventh of Swire Pacific, and Norman Shiyahuai is qualified to say this. "How much equity do you have now?" Norman Shi Yahuai went straight to the subject. He also knew the current situation. Simpson was very anxious and didn''t have time to chat with him. "42%." Simpson said immediately. "Then how much equity does Cheung Kong hold now?" Norman Shi Yahuai asked again. Simpson shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "I haven''t heard about it yet, but it will definitely not be less than 35%, because I bought shares from other shareholders without success. I probably sold them all, and there are too few circulating shares on the market. , So the equity in their hands will definitely not be less, and the threat to me is too great." Norman Shiya frowned. He did not expect the situation to be so bad. If Simpson''s statement is correct, then Simpson is indeed dangerous. "How do you need me to help you?" Norman Shi Yahuai asked again. "I need funds. Now I have less than 20 million funds in my hands. I want to acquire another 9% of the equity. It is definitely not enough. I hope you can borrow enough funds from me until I complete the holding of the company." "Furthermore, I would like to ask you to help me buy shares. My energy is not strong enough, but Swire Pacific is strong enough and should be able to harvest." Simpson said immediately, directly speaking out the purpose of his arrival, and after speaking, he looked at Norman Shi Yahuai sincerely. "Yes! I''ll help with that!" Norman Shi Yahuai nodded and said. This is really not very busy for him. Simpson wants to buy 9% of the equity again and get rid of his own funds. He only needs to lend Simpson up to tens of millions of funds. This little money is for him. , Can only be regarded as a small meaning. Moreover, according to the current stock price of Qingzhou Yingmu Company, the Keynes family owns 42% of the equity, which is at least worth more than one billion. In addition to this consideration, Norman Shiyahuai also wanted to make the Changjiang Industrial Group acquisition failure. Even though these British people are planning to slowly evacuate from Xiangjiang and return to the land of England where he was born, he does not allow Chinese capital to attack the status of British capital! Over the years, with the continuous rise of Chinese capital, even if they are the second Swire firm in the British consortium, they still feel the pressure, but the competition between Chinese capital was relatively obscure before and they did not dare to blatantly provoke. But this time, Cheung Kong Industrial directly attacked Qingzhou Yingni Company. If they do not fight back this time, and let them succeed, other Chinese consortiums that have long been ready to move will definitely boost their morale. At that time, the situation was for their British consortium. It will definitely become very disadvantageous! From the standpoint of an Englishman, he does not want to see this happen! Therefore, after seeing the content of "Jiuding Daily", even if Simpson does not come to him for help, he will take the initiative to help Simpson. From the moment the "Jiuding Daily" was released today, this is not just a matter for Qingzhou Yingni Company and Yangtze River Industrial Group, but has risen to the level of Chinese and British capital. This precedent! Can''t drive! Superman Li must fail! ... With the help of the Shi Yahuai family, Simpson breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly returned to oversee the stock acquisition. Now, his confidence is finally sufficient, and he vowed to acquire enough equity to allow Qingzhou Yingni Company to continue to operate in the Keynes family. In control. Because both Li Chaoren and Simpson are very firm in their will, on this day, investors and institutions who are always paying attention to the stock market war have witnessed the fierce battle. The stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company kept rising. When the market closed in the afternoon, the stock price had risen to 3.8 Hong Kong dollars, which was an increase of 0.7 Hong Kong dollars from 3.1 Hong Kong dollars when the market opened in the morning, and 1.6 Hong Kong dollars higher than the 2.2 Hong Kong dollars when the market closed yesterday. The momentum is very rapid. Behind the soaring stock price is the invisible sword and shadow! It''s just that the higher the stock price, the higher the minds of retail investors and institutions holding stocks, because they are a little bit out of the bottom. The stock price cannot go up all the time, there must be a degree. Yesterday, Xia Yu also commented in the "Jiuding Daily" that a four or five times increase in the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company is reasonable at present, but the stock price of 3.8 Hong Kong dollars per share is already 4.75 times the initial 0.8 Hong Kong dollars. It''s almost five times. Some of the more easily satisfied retail investors have already sold their stocks in the afternoon, while more people are preparing to sell their stocks after the market opens the next day. Otherwise, wait until one of the parties has acquired enough stocks, and when the battle is won, the stock price will definitely fall. At that time, if you want to sell, you may not necessarily sell it! ... "It''s almost time!" Xia Yu of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. saw the stock price situation smiled to himself. Wang Qi next to him is also full of joy, and his eyes on Xia Yu are full of admiration. In this battle, so far, their 26% equity has achieved a floating profit of 75.4 million, and they are destined to make a lot of money! Moreover, Jiuding Securities also acquired 3.5% of Cheung Kong Holdings¡¯ shares. Due to the fierce battle in the afternoon, investors learned about the determination of Cheung Kong Holdings, which led to investors¡¯ confidence in Cheung Kong Holdings. This was also fed back to Cheung Kong Holdings. When the market closed in the afternoon, Cheung Kong''s share price had risen by 30 million Hong Kong dollars again, reaching 1.33 billion Hong Kong dollars. And Jiuding Newspaper Company, which holds 3.5% of the Changjiang Industry''s equity, also achieved a floating profit of 2.1 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that Jiuding Newspaper Company will definitely usher in a bumper harvest! And all this was achieved under the command of the boss Xia Yu! How can this not let Wang Qi admire it in my heart! Chapter 137: Take the initiative in your hands The next day, the Keynes family directly shouted to the Cheung Kong Holdings Group, claiming that they had the help of Swire Pacific, and they already owned 49% of the shares. Cheung Kong Holdings would never be able to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company. This acquisition war is doomed to fail! As soon as the news came out, the stock price that was supposed to rise at the opening of the market fell slightly. This phenomenon caused some investors to panic and quickly sold their stocks. The giant Swire Pacific entered the market to help Qingzhou Yingni Company, and Cheung Kong Industrial Group couldn''t stand it either! The offensive and defensive trend is likely to reverse! There are also some investors who have a fluke mentality. Before Cheung Kong Industrial has made a statement, they still intend to continue to wait and see, betting that Superman Li will not give up easily! "Boss, what should I do? Is the Keynes family deceiving us? Could it be that Swire Pacific really helped?" At the office of Evergreen Fund Management Co., Ltd., Wu Lei looked at Li Chaoren solemnly and asked. He did not believe that the Keynes family raised the equity from 32% to 49% within a few days. This is too difficult. Even though Swire Pacific has 8% of the shares, the Keynes family only has 40%, and other shareholders hold it. There is no stock anymore. The Keynes family wants to acquire 9% of the stock in the market, don''t even think about it! Because after the Keynes family responded, they only grabbed 2.9% of the shares from the market. He didn''t believe that the Keynes family could snap up more than three times, even with the help of Swire International! Li Chaoren also thought of this, and he also suspected that the Keynes family was cheating him. Li Chaoren''s face was sinking, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many shares do we have now?" "There is 24.8%, which is 0.2% short of 25%. The goal should be achieved today." Wu Lei immediately replied. Hearing Wu Lei''s answer, even though he was a bit close to the predetermined goal, Li Chaoren was not at all happy. The acquisition of 25% of the shares is not his ultimate goal. His goal has always been only one, and that is to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company. The acquisition of 25% of the shares is only because it is too difficult to complete the holding at one time. In order to increase the success rate, the plan is divided into two steps, and then there is a limit of 25% of the equity. But if the Keynes family really completed 51% of the holding, it would be useless even if he acquired 25% of the shares. As long as the Keynes family disagrees and does not release the shares again, Qingzhou Yingni Company will never be annexed by the Changjiang Industrial Group. Although he has now sold the stock and withdrew, he can still make 50 or 60 million, which is considered a victory. But Li Chaoren''s vision is not so limited! In his opinion, the account is not calculated like this! If Qingzhou Yingni Company is annexed by the Cheung Kong Industrial Group, the stock price of Cheung Kong Industrial will definitely rise. Even if it is still in battle, it will rise by 60 million. If it is successfully annexed, it will increase the market value by at least one or two billion. Coupled with the development value of the hundreds of thousands of square meters of land, the profit earned by the Cheung Kong Industrial Group is also calculated in billions. Compared with these benefits, what is the fifty to sixty million earned from selling stocks and exiting! So Li Chaoren changed his mind at this moment. He plans to directly complete the absolute holding of Qingzhou Yingmu Company this time, otherwise there will be no chance again in the future! When the plan does not change quickly, then you can only change the plan! Moreover, the public opinion led by the "Jiuding Daily" is now coerced, and the consequences of the failure of the acquisition are also very serious. The stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings will definitely fall, and his reputation will also be hit. He has to buy! Although he currently has only 24.8% of the shares in his hands, there is still a long way to go from the absolute holding of 51%. However, Li Chaoren has not forgotten that there is an unknown person who bought the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company before him, and he also robbed other shareholders of stocks. The unknown person¡¯s stock will definitely not be less. ! As long as he wins the equity in the hand of that party, the probability of his success is absolutely high! It''s just that this party is too deeply hidden. So far, Li Chaoren still hasn''t figured out who it is, which makes him a little anxious. Xia Yu didn''t make Li Chaoren anxious for too long. In the early morning of the next day, "Jiuding Daily" announced another news, one that shocked Xiangjiang. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced to the outside that it owns 26 million shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company, a total of 26% of the shares. This news was like a depth bomb, which directly shocked all those who were following the acquisition battle of Qingzhou Yingni Company. A Jiuding Securities Company emerged unexpectedly, and it also holds 26% of the equity of Qingzhou Yingni Company. This is a bargaining chip that can completely influence the situation of the acquisition war. Regardless of whether it is the Keynes family or the Yangtze River Industrial Group, no matter who wins the 26% equity, the outcome should be straightforward! And according to the current stock price, this 26% of the stock is worth nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but it is in the hands of a Jiuding Securities Company that has never heard of it before. The name Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. makes everyone think about it, especially when the news was announced by the "Jiuding Daily", everyone connected the two together. Combining with Xia Yu''s previous title of the newspaper stock god, this has to make everyone think about that, and the more they think about it, the more they feel that it is possible to be the same boss. Xia Gushen personally intervened in the acquisition battle of Qingzhou Yingni Company, and he was still an important force. This news made many investors feel like chicken blood. Originally, there was a force to determine the outcome, and the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company should go down. After all, the stocks of many retail investors suddenly became less important. They should quickly sell their stock prices and cash out. However, the person who suddenly appeared to be able to control the situation turned out to be Xia Yu, so it is another matter. This proves that Xia Yu is also optimistic about Qingzhou Yingni Company. For this reason, some retail investors who originally wanted to sell stocks instead held the stocks and did not sell them. As a result, the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company was still rising slowly because the acquisition war behind it was still fighting. ... "Father, it''s not good, the sudden appearance of Jiuding Securities announced that it has 26% equity." When Upton saw the news, his face changed drastically, and he immediately reported to his father Simpson. Simpson heard his son''s call and grabbed the newspaper in his hand. After seeing the news, his face changed drastically. Can''t help but yell. "damn it!" Simpson knew the trouble was big! Although he claimed yesterday that he owns 49% of the equity , it is just a smoke bomb, just to see if he can scare the Cheung Kong Industrial Group back. In fact, he has only 45% of the equity in his hand, with the help of Swire International. He still only acquired a 3% stake. I just didn¡¯t expect that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which has suddenly emerged now, actually owns 26% of the equity. Now Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced the news at this point in time. Obviously, it wanted to tell him and Li Chaoren and wait for them to grab it. Naked conspiracy! If Cheung Kong Holdings acquired this 26% stake, it is absolutely possible to complete the holding directly! Thinking of this consequence, Simpson also panicked. "You have to contact Jiuding Securities as soon as possible. It¡¯s too late! No 26% is needed, just 7% is enough. I hope they will sell it. The big deal is a premium of 50%! Or double! If not, big deal all Take the acquisition together, Norman should help me..." Simpson thought, and moved quickly after thinking about it. Chapter 138: I give you a chance On the other side, Li Chaoren learned the news for the first time and saw the news published in the "Jiuding Daily". "Boss, now Jiuding Securities has jumped out by itself. It must be looking for a buyer. Should we act quickly, in case it is late..." Wu Lei suggested anxiously. After listening, Li Chaoren shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, now it¡¯s obvious that Jiuding Securities wants to fight with us. The order is not important anymore. The most important thing is the price. Before we wait for our offer, they absolutely Will not sell the stock to the Keynes family." Hearing what Li Chaoren said, Wu Lei also calmed down, and after thinking about it, he figured it out. Indeed, the initiative is now in the hands of Jiuding Securities, and suddenly it is announced with a high profile. Obviously, it is the higher bidder. As long as the boss of Jiuding Securities is not stupid, he will definitely wait for his own quote before making a choice. "I just didn''t expect it! Jiuding Securities Company? Jiuding Newspaper Company? It''s definitely not a coincidence, it should be a family, it belongs to that teenager, he was the one who secretly acquired him before, he saw it by himself, or he learned about me Company secrets?" It''s just that this question is destined to be unworkable. Li Chaoren didn''t bother too much. Now it is important to find a way to buy the 26% equity in Jiuding Securities. If the acquisition is over, coupled with his 25% equity, exactly 51%, it can directly complete the holding of Qingzhou Yingni Company. This is a golden opportunity! He must catch it! It''s just that the 26% equity needs him at least nearly 100 million yuan of funds. For the Cheung Kong Group, this amount of money can be used, but the pressure is also great, which will affect the company''s operation. "It seems that someone has to borrow it!" Li Chaoren thought to himself. After thinking about it, Li Chaoren immediately called a friend of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and asked about Jiuding Securities Company''s information. He quickly confirmed that the legal person was Xia Yu and owned 20% of the shares of Jiuding Securities. 20% of the shares? After learning the news, Li Chaoren shook his head slightly without commenting too much. He knew the facts and knew that the company was controlled by Xia Yu. During this time, Li Chaoren also contacted several friends and asked them to borrow money, hoping that they could lend him any time. The acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company was reported by "Jiuding Daily", and it has spread throughout Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia. All major Chinese families hope Li Chaoren can win, especially when Swire Pacific helped Qingzhou Yingni Company, they also hope Li Chaoren can win. This will test some of the British capital¡¯s illusions and attitudes, and will also boost their morale. , For the Chinese capital as a whole, the benefits are very great. Therefore, after receiving a call from Li Chaoren, the people who have been paying attention to this acquisition war agreed to lend without saying a word to help Li Chaoren! And the favor of giving charcoal in the snow is of great value! With the promise of friends, Li Chaoren is full of confidence! This 26% of the shares must definitely be taken over! ... "Ring Ling Ling..." In the office of Jiuding Securities Company, the phone on the desktop suddenly rang. Xia Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his brow and motioned to Wang Qi to pick it up. Wang Qi took a deep breath and connected the phone. "Hey, this is Jiuding Securities Company... Hello, Mr. Simpson..." Wang Qi deliberately repeated the three words Simpson, and then made a gesture to Xia Yu, asking if Xia Yu would pick it up in person. Sitting on the stool beside him, Xia Yu shook his head slightly and motioned for Wang Qi to continue. After receiving the prompt, Wang Qi felt at ease and began to chat with Simpson, while Xia Yu listened quietly. When Wang Qi finished hanging up the phone, Xia Yu asked, "What did he say?" "Boss, Simpson wanted to buy the shares in our hands, and said he would come over soon after a while, and wanted to talk to us." Wang Qi reported respectfully. Xia Yu nodded lightly, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes to look at Wang Qi, and said, "After Simpson comes over for a while, you will be responsible for receiving him and digging into his bottom, but don''t let go, understand? " "Understand!" Wang Qi nodded immediately. "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the phone rang again, this time without Xia Yu''s prompt, Wang Qi connected the phone directly. "Hey, this is Jiuding Securities Company... It turned out to be Mr. Li Chaoren, hello..." After hanging up the phone, Wang Qi reported again: "Boss, Li Chaoren will come to visit later, saying that he wants to talk to you." The corner of Xia Yu¡¯s mouth raised a smile and said: "After Superman Li arrives, you will let him come to me. After Simpson comes, you will take him to another office and you will be in charge. After the talk, you will directly Come report to me, it doesn''t matter even if Superman Li is there." "Okay!" Wang Qi nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Boss, are you planning to sell the stock to Superman Li?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "I do have this idea, but it is not necessarily true. I can see if Li Chaoren can seize the opportunity..." Xia Yu tends to sell shares to Li Chaoren for many reasons. The first one is because this was originally an opportunity that belonged to Superman Li, but was intercepted by Xia Yu. Now it is equivalent to Xia Yu forcibly paying out of the wallet that Superman should have picked up. It''s just this, Li Chaoren will definitely not know. The second reason is that the gap between Li Chaoren and the Keynes family is too big. Selling stocks to the Keynes family, Xia Yu can''t get anything except money, and Xia Yu is not scared of Keynes'' favor. But if you sell the stocks to Li Chaoren, then Li Chaoren will definitely take on Xia Yu''s love, and Li Chaoren''s favor is valuable. The third point is that the acquisition battle of Qingzhou Yingni Company has been promoted by the "Jiuding Daily" and has escalated. Although this has threatened Li Chaoren, it has also threatened Xia Yu himself. If he sells the 26% of the shares to the Keynes family, causing the acquisition of Li Chaoren to fail, it will be a serious blow to Chinese morale. Public opinion will definitely be detrimental to Xia Yu, even if Xia Yu holds the "Jiuding Daily" It''s hard to change it, it can stop others'' mouths, but not people''s hearts! But if you sell the stocks to Li Chaoren and help Li Chaoren, Xia Yu''s reputation will definitely be shaken, and it will have a good impact on Xia Yu''s companies. Xia Yu also intends to launch Jiuding Securities Company after this battle and absorb external funds to make money for him. After all, he is very short of money now! And there is a saying that capital has no national boundaries, but capitalists have a stand! In Xiangjiang, a place where the struggle between Chinese and British capital was serious, Xia Yu naturally stood on the side of Chinese capital. When it comes to the big issues, he must stand on the side of Chinese capital. Of course, nothing is absolute. If Li Chaoren doesn¡¯t give a high price to make Xia Yu face better, and Xia Yu sells the stock to the Keynes family, other people will have nothing to say, they will only blame Li Chaoren for not seizing the opportunity. The essence of capital is the supremacy of interests. Now, Xia Yu is ready to give Li Chaoren the opportunity, and it depends on whether he can seize it wisely! "If you can''t catch it, then you can''t blame me. After all, I am not a Virgin, and I have no obligation to harm my own interests to help you..." Xia Yu revealed his eyes and said inwardly. Chapter 139: Meet Li Chaoren Not long after, an employee ran in and reported: "Boss, manager, an old gentleman named Simpson came to visit and said that he had made an appointment with the manager." Wang Qi and Xia Yu looked at each other. After seeing Xia Yu nodding at him, he stood up and walked outside with the employees. The door was closed when he went out to prevent Simpson from seeing Xia Yu here. As time passed, Xia Yu kept leaning on the chair, closing his eyes and resting, without any anxiety in his heart. As for what Wang Qi and Simpson were talking about in the office next door, Xia Yu wasn''t interested. After all, the tone had been set. No matter how long Simpson talked, this time he returned without success. He wanted a chance unless Li Chaoren gave up the opportunity. At this moment, the employees came in again to report, Li Chaoren came to visit, Xia Yu''s spirit was lifted, and he immediately asked him to invite people in. Xia Yu was sitting in distress, waiting for Li Chaoren''s arrival. After a while, the door opened again, and a familiar but unfamiliar face appeared in Xia Yu''s sight. Xia Yu quickly stood up and shook hands with Li Chaoren with a smile on his face. "Li Sheng, hello!" "Xia Sheng, hello!" "Please sit down!" Only Li Chaoren came in. After Xia Yu asked the employees to close the door, he personally made tea for Li Chaoren and gave him sufficient respect in etiquette. Seeing Xia Yu making tea, Li Chaoren sat with a smile on his face and waited quietly. "Li Sheng, please have tea!" Xia Yu brought a cup of tea to Superman Li and made a please gesture. "Thank you!" Li Chaoren thanked him and took the teacup with both hands. After a sip of tea, the heat rose in front of him, and Xia Yu looked at Li Chaoren. In his previous life, Li Chaoren had been on the throne of the richest Chinese man for a long time. Even though he was ¡®overtaken¡¯ in the rankings after his assets were hidden and allocated to his son, he still remained high on the list. In the major media, especially the self-media on the Internet, you can always see the news of Li Chaoren, although his reputation is not very good because of his withdrawal and transfer to the UK at a critical moment. Xia Yu once resented Li Chaoren''s behavior, but in this life, after incorporating the memories of so many bigwigs, Xia Yu also realized the nature of the world. Compared with other Hong Kong tycoons, such as Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and other patriotic Chinese, Superman Li is naturally incomparable. It can only be said that Li Chaoren is very qualified as a capitalist. But he is not a qualified patriotic Chinese, so compared to other tycoons, his business is bigger, but his reputation is much worse. Have something to do with it! It can only be said that mainlanders like Xia Yu used to treat Li Chaoren in the same way as other patriotic overseas Chinese. They expected him too much. Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In fact, Li Chaoren¡¯s nationality is Canadian nationality. He is a foreigner. Don¡¯t treat him as your own, but just treat him as a foreigner who came to the mainland to do business. It¡¯s a pity that some local governments did not realize this problem before. Did not recognize his essence. Of course, it is undeniable that he has indeed helped the mainland. He has merits and deeds! Not much gossip, stop it for now. When he saw Li Chaoren on the Internet in his previous life, he was already very old, but now Li Chaoren appeared in front of Xia Yu, but he looked very energetic and younger. Xia Yu remembered that this was the second time he saw Li Chaoren. The first time was at the reception of HSBC Securities, and he saw it from a distance. This should be regarded as the first formal meeting. Xia Yu is looking at Li Chaoren, and Li Chaoren is naturally looking at Xia Yu, but the more I look at Xia Yu, the more I feel that Xia Yu is not simple. Even middle-aged people don¡¯t have this mature and stable temperament. I didn¡¯t expect Xia Yu to be small. But at this age, Li Chaoren secretly sighed that Xia Yu was really very human. Feeling that the atmosphere is almost there, Li Chaoren intends to stir up the topic! "Xia Sheng, your gaze is like a torch. You discovered the value of Qingzhou Yingni Company earlier than I did. I am ashamed! If you dare to ask, I don''t know how do you know that we, Yangtze River Industries, are going to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company?" After taking a sip of tea, Li Chaoren put down his teacup and asked politely, but the flash of light in his eyes foretells his inner restlessness. "Come on!" Xia Yu''s heart shuddered, and he secretly stirred up his spirits. Xia Yu smiled modestly, and said with joy: "It''s luck to speak of. Didn''t my newspaper company publish the "Economy" magazine. To make a ranking list, it took a long time to collect information on major companies in Xiangjiang. During the analysis, it happened to find that the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni Company was seriously undervalued." "The stock price was still sluggish at the time. In the middle of the acquisition, I suddenly discovered that someone had joined in. But I never found out that it was you. Until a later accident, a shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni Company leaked his mouth, and I knew it was you. You acquired Qingzhou Yingni Company is definitely for the Cheung Kong Industrial Group." Li Chaoren smiled and nodded, thanking Xia Yu for answering, but he was surprised in his heart. Could it be that Xia Yu found out before him? Which Qingzhou Yingni Company''s shareholder said halfway through? Isn''t their company out of the trap? It''s just that Li Chaoren feels something is wrong, but he doesn''t know what''s wrong. After all, every answer by Xia Yu is logical, but is there such a coincidence? Not getting the answer he wanted, Li Chaoren was a little disappointed, but he didn¡¯t ask any more. Xia Yu has already answered. If he asks again, he doesn¡¯t seem to believe in Xia Yu. Now he is asking for Xia Yu, so he naturally doesn¡¯t. Doing such a stupid thing upset Xia Yu. Since we can¡¯t ask about the foregone conclusions, there is no need to influence other things later, so I will expose it as if what Xia Yu said is true, and I hope it¡¯s not the company¡¯s internal traitor! "Xia Sheng, let me just say it straight. I want to buy 26% of your shares. I don''t know what conditions you have?" Without further verbosity, Li Chaoren went straight to the subject, looked straight at Xia Yu, and said solemnly. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head slightly. When Li Chaoren''s expression changed a little, he said, "Don''t worry, sit for a while and wait for the person next door to leave before talking." "Next door?" Li Chaoren asked with a frown. Then, his brows eased, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he asked Xia Yu: "Is it the Keynes family?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Simpson Keynes, the head of the Keynes family, will be received by my subordinates!" Li Chaoren gave Xia Yu a grateful smile. Anyway, Xia Yu received him personally, not the first Simpson. UU Read www. This differential treatment of uukanshu.com has greatly increased Li Chaoren''s favor with Xia Yu. Similarly, Li Chaoren''s mood is better, because it shows that Xia Yu is partial to him, and this attitude is very beneficial to him. It¡¯s just that Superman Li did not lose his composure. Since Xia Yu was unwilling to negotiate terms immediately, he had to wait for the Keynes family next door to talk to him before talking to him. He just told Li Chaoren implicitly that although his position is biased towards him, it is not absolute. It still depends on whether the chips are enough! This combination of hard and soft, both grateful to him, and threatening him made Li Chaoren''s heart startled, and he felt that Xia Yu''s methods were old and hot, not like a young man at all, but an old fox with a long history of shopping malls. Because of this, although Li Chaoren''s face remained unchanged, his inner vigilance was raised, and he regarded Xia Yu as an opponent of the same level as him. At the same time, he was thinking about the conditions he had given again in his heart to ensure that he seized this opportunity and didn''t let it slip away. Otherwise, if the talks are not made here, his chances will be very slim if he leaves this door! Chapter 140: 40% premium In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Chaoren found other topics and chatted with Xia Yu. Without asking him to wait any longer, he heard the door closing sound from next door soon, and soon there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Xia Yu shouted. Then Wang Qi opened the door and saw Li Chaoren who was watching him at a glance. He closed the door with his backhand and walked in, nodded towards Li Chaoren, and sat beside him under Xia Yu''s sign. "Li Sheng, let me introduce you. This is our manager Wang Qiwang of Jiuding Securities. He is shrewd and capable, and he is a rare talent!" Xia Yu introduced Wang Qi to Li Chaoren. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qi cast a grateful look at Xia Yu, waved his hand in a little panic and quickly said, "Don''t dare, it''s the boss who gave me love. I''m just an ordinary person. " "Li Sheng, nice to meet you!" "Wang Sheng, happy meeting!" When Wang Qi and Li Chaoren finished greeting, Xia Yu didn''t procrastinate, and asked Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, what did Simpson talk to you just now?" Seeing that he had finally entered the topic, Li Chaoren was sitting awkwardly, looking at Wang Qi with a serious expression, waiting for his answer. Wang Qi nodded respectfully and said: "Just now Simpson wanted to buy 6% of the shares from us, raising prices again and again, and finally even willing to buy at a premium of 100%." Hearing this, Li Chaoren''s eyes condensed, and he knew in his heart that the Keynes family did not own 49% of the shares. It should be 45%. Otherwise, they would not eagerly want to acquire another 6%, and the Keynes family was really cheating him. It''s just that he didn''t expect the Keynes family to pay such a high price to buy shares in Xia Yu''s hands. Wang Qi didn¡¯t care about the change in Li Chaoren¡¯s expression. He paused and continued: ¡°Later, I said that we are more inclined to package and sell. He hesitated. If I didn¡¯t let go, he kept increasing the price, and finally increased to a premium of 30%. Seeing that I didn¡¯t let go, he left. This is the specific situation.¡± "Now I asked about the latest stock price when I came in. It is already 4.1 Hong Kong dollars per share." Xia Yu nodded to Wang Qi with satisfaction, then looked at Li Chaoren with a smile on his face, and whispered: "Li Sheng, you also heard it. This is a condition of the Keynes family. We have not agreed to it for the time being." "Thank you!" Li Chaoren thanked Xia Yu with a grateful smile. However, he was a little surprised in his heart, not sure whether Wang Qi was telling the truth or he had negotiated with Xia Yu, and whether the 30% premium condition was put forward by the Keynes family. It''s a pity that he can''t ask the Keynes family for verification. Since Wang Qi reports like this, it doesn''t have to be. Now it''s time for him to bid, at a premium of 30%, and the acquisition of shares in Xia Yu''s hands is basically a flat. However, as long as the acquisition is completed, the value of 25% of the stocks in his hands can skyrocket. With the controlling rights, he can develop greater value in the future. Moreover, if the acquisition is successful, Cheung Kong''s stock price can also make him pay back. Such a calculation is a big profit! What''s more, there is no way to evaluate the strategic significance! It''s just that the Keynes family offered a 30% premium, so he couldn''t be lower, otherwise he would appear insincere. After all, Xia Yu gave him preferential treatment and also told him the key to the Keynes family. Li Chaoren did not hesitate, and solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Li Sheng, I am willing to pay a 40% premium to the stock price of 4.1 Hong Kong dollars and pay it all at once. I wonder if you are satisfied with this condition?" For his own conditions, Li Chaoren still has a bottom line. After all, the premium is 40%, more than 10 million more than the Keynes family, and he is still paid in one lump sum. This is not a big deal. It can be said that he is also full of sincerity. Up. Xia Yu gave him face, and he was not a person who didn''t know how to promote him. Seeing Li Chaoren''s offer such a big deal, Xia Yu smiled and said in admiration, "Li Sheng is magnificent, no wonder the business is doing so prosperously!" Hearing Xia Yu''s admiration, Li Chaoren''s heart fell for a moment. Xia Yu''s current attitude made him relieved, but he did not dare to be completely relieved until Xia Yu''s final answer. Xia Yu didn''t let Li Chaoren wait too much, with a smile on his face stretched out his hand to Li Chaoren and said, "Li Sheng, happy cooperation!" Li Chaoren smiled, stretched out his hand and held Xia Yu together, and said gratefully: "Happy cooperation!" "Then Xia Sheng, when can we sign an agreement?" Li Chaoren asked immediately after letting go. Looking at Xia Yu tightly. Although Xiangjiang people are very committed to doing business, it is reassuring that empty words can never compare with black and white. Li Chaoren naturally hopes that the sooner the agreement is signed, the better. "I can do it anytime, as long as there is no problem on your side." Xia Yu said with a smile. "My funds are ready, and I can sign at any time!" Li Chaoren said without hesitation, and the underlying consciousness means that I can sign now. "Li Sheng is really amazing, I admire it!" Xia Yu''s eyes lit up slightly. I didn''t expect that Superman Li was so well prepared. He even prepared more than 100 million funds. No wonder he came later than Simpson. It is estimated that he has gone to raise funds. Thinking that more than one billion funds would be solved in a short time, the connections and strength are really strong. "Wang Qi, find a lawyer to draw up an agreement." Xia Yu said to Wang Qi, who was also happy. "Li Sheng, please also invite your lawyer to come over!" "My lawyer is outside, let him in later." Li Chaoren replied. These words made Xia Yu feel a little bit emotional. Sure enough, Li Chaoren was ready for everything. With this attitude of doing things, it is not unreasonable for his business to grow bigger and bigger. When Wang Qi left, Xia Yu and Li Chaoren continued to drink tea and chat in the office and waited. The smile on Li Chaoren''s face, who was relieved, was obviously more. During the chat, he praised Xia Yu''s ability and career, and Xia Yu praised Li Chaoren from time to time. People carry people in the sedan chair, business blows each other, who can''t! Anyway, you don¡¯t have to do it, so why not make others happy. ... After a long time, when Wang Qi came back again, he brought a lawyer behind him, and Li Chaoren also called his lawyer in and began to review the contract. After confirming that everything was correct, Li Chaoren smiled, signed his name on the contract, and put his handprint on it, and gave it to Xia Yu again, who also signed it. "Xia Sheng, let''s go out, I will transfer the money to your account!" Li Chaoren said seeing Xia Yu accept the contract. After all, more than 100 million funds are involved, and the transfer must be delivered to the bank on site, and Xia Yu will not hand over the stock transfer contract to him until Xia Yu confirms that he has received the money. "Please!" Xia Yu smiled and made a please gesture and then walked outside with Li Chaoren. As soon as Xia Yu and Li Chaoren walked outside, they caused a sensation. "Li Chaoren is really here, and he seems to be talking and laughing with Xia Yu. Is it possible that Li Chaoren has acquired the stock?" "It seems that the overall situation is settled, hey, how did they get in the car, hurry up and see where they go..." ... The reporter lurking nearby just wanted to find out that it was Li Chaoren and Xia Yu, and immediately became excited. When he wanted to rush forward, he was stopped by someone and could only watch Li Chaoren and Xia Yu drive away. How could a reporter give up the big news and immediately block the cart to follow. When Xia Yu and Li Chaoren''s car stopped at the head office of HSBC, the reporters who followed became more excited and more sure of their guesses. Xiangjiang is going to make a huge news! Must get first-hand news! Chapter 141: More than 1 billion profit Soon, under the personal management of the lobby manager, all the funds of 149.24 million Hong Kong dollars were transferred to Xia Yu''s account, and Xia Yu also handed over the equity transfer contract to Li Chaoren. The moment Li Chaoren showed a bright smile when he accepted the contract, he was finally completely relieved. In a good mood, Superman Li extended his hand again and shook hands with Xia Yu to thank him. "Xia Sheng, thank you for your help and look forward to the next cooperation!" "It should be me thank you for your generosity and wish Li Sheng a prosperous career!" Xia Yu happily shook hands with Li Chaoren and smiled and congratulated. It can be said that this cooperation is a win-win situation. Although Li Chaoren paid a high price, only if he owns Xia Yu''s 26% equity, his 25% equity can be sublimated. Coupled with the strategic significance and reinforcing function of controlling Qingzhou Yingni Company to Cheung Kong Industrial, as well as reputation return and stock price return, Li Chaoren has made a lot of money! And Xia Yu also made a lot of money, he spent a total of 23.4 million Hong Kong dollars to buy these 26 million shares, an average of 0.9 Hong Kong dollars per share. But in the end, these 26 million shares were sold at a sky-high price of HK$149.24 million, each worth 5.74 HK dollars, which was 6.38 times the average price of the initial acquisition, and it took more than half a month before and after. . This rate of return is really amazing. Although it has only just started in 1978, it can be said with certainty that the throne of the project with the highest return on investment in Xiangjiang this year has been booked by Xia Yu, and no one can take it away! The profit of 125.84 million Hong Kong dollars, just this time, it took half a month to find it! If it wasn''t for Xia Yu''s rebirth, knowing this opportunity, his Jiuding Securities Company wants to make so much money, but I don''t know how long it will take, how can it be as rich as it is now! And this is not the final profit. You must know that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. had previously secretly purchased the shares of the Yangtze River Industrial Group for a total of 3.5% of the equity. In the past two days, it has continued to acquire one after another, and also acquired 1.4%, for a total of 4.9 %. After the news of the completion of the transaction with Li Chaoren is announced today, the share price of the Cheung Kong Holdings Group will definitely soar, and Xia Yu can also take a ride to make a fortune, which is definitely more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in profit. So this time together, Xia Yu has a profit of at least 130 million yuan, and the exposure is absolutely amazing! And Li Chaoren will only earn more than Xia Yu. At the current stock price, Li Chaoren¡¯s 25% equity will earn him a profit of at least 50 or 60 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the development value of the land, which is absolutely higher. . Of course, the value of the land can only be realized in the hands of real estate developers like Li Chaoren. So it''s better to exchange it for money. With money, he will definitely make more money in the past few years when the land has been developed. This is that different things have different values ??in the hands of different people! The value of an aircraft carrier and a pistol is very different, but in the hands of individuals, only the pistol can play a role, and the aircraft carrier can also be used to take pictures and pretend to be! The best for you is the best! ... When Xia Yu and Li Chaoren walked out of the HSBC Bank talking and laughing, Xia Yu smiled and said to Li Chaoren, "Li Sheng, starting today, your reputation will definitely spread. All over Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, congratulations!" "Xia Sheng, aren''t you the same, haha!" Li Chaoren also said with a smile. "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled after looking at each other with Li Chaoren. This kind of good reputation has a strong bonus effect on the entrepreneur himself and the companies under him, which is a good thing. Now that the dust has settled, Li Chaoren is in a happy mood, and naturally will not refuse media interviews. If this kind of prestige harvesting thing is not done, then what else is worth doing? Of course, even if you want to harvest prestige, it is not so hasty to accept interviews. A press conference must be held to maximize the effect. So now, facing the lens of reporters, Li Chaoren did not reveal any specific information, but told Major reporters will hold a press conference next and inform them. Similarly, Xia Yu did not accept the interview. After all, he has the "Jiuding Daily", so what is it to take over interviews from other newspapers? So under the leadership of Yan Shining, Xia Yu squeezed the crowd, got in the car and left HSBC. ... Although the news that Xia Yu and Li Chaoren reached a cooperation has not appeared so soon in the newspaper, the news went viral in Xiangjiang. Those friends of Li Chaoren called him the first time to inquire about the situation, and after receiving a positive answer from Li Chaoren, they all sent congratulations. And Liu Tianci also called Xia Yu to inquire. After receiving the news, he was speechless for a long time, leaving only infinite emotion, and his admiration for Xia Yu soared. In the stock market, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings has started a soaring mode. It is estimated that after Li Chaoren''s press conference, it will definitely fly! Xia Yu, Li Chaoren and the others were happy, but Simpson who got the news was like a lightning strike, sitting on the sofa in a daze, looking at the high-rise buildings outside the window in despair. "No, no..." Thinking of the loss of his ancestral property in his own hands, Simpson felt like a knife, and felt ashamed to go to heaven to see his father... ... It''s a pity that this incident does not allow Simpson and his son to have any luck. In the afternoon, Li Chaoren held a press conference, and some evening papers had already started to report, and that night TVB, Jiayi TV, Li''s TV and Xiangjiang Radio had already broadcast the news. By the next day, the most detailed process was announced by the "Jiuding Daily", and the whole Xiangjiang was completely boiling. The newspaper wrote in detail the trading conditions of the Keynes family, and also the conditions given by Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren also revealed the things that some of his friends had loaned him, just to make them gain a good reputation, Xia Of course, Yu didn''t refuse. This was a thing that boosted Chinese morale. In this battle, Li Chaoren gained a great reputation, and the name of the first man to attack British capital fell on him. And Xia Yu''s reputation is not worse than that of Li Chaoren, because Xia Yu is the one who controls the situation and directly helped Li Chaoren end the battle. With Li Chaoren at a disadvantage, he reversed the battle and played a decisive role. Similarly, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is also well-known in this battle. Everyone knows that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. with Xia Yu''s investment vision will never be bad, even if it can''t make hundreds of millions of dollars in the Qingzhou Yingni acquisition battle. The profit, but it will definitely make money. This time, the title of Xia Yu''s stock **** is completely established, because no one can make more than one billion profits at a time like him! Where is the brilliant record, who dares to question? ! Jiuding Securities has a prestigious stock **** who sits in person, and the return on investment will definitely be amazing. Many people came to Jiuding Securities to ask if there are investment opportunities, but they learned that there are none, but they will soon launch a fund to accept investment. . This news spread directly throughout Xiangjiang Many people are looking forward to the moment when Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. launches the fund, they must fight for a certain share, so that the stock **** can make money. Even many people who originally invested in other securities companies plan to transfer their funds to Jiuding Securities Co., if they have the opportunity. After all, even the most powerful investment company in Xiangjiang, can there be a stock **** Xia Yu? Try it out with an undefeated resume. You will come out with a brilliant record of over 100 million in a battle before you speak! In the eyes of those fanatics, no securities company and fund company can compare to Jiuding Securities. Although Jiuding Securities is a newly established company, finance is the most attractive one. As long as there is stock **** Xia Yu, one can beat the other companies'' ten hundred people. They have confidence in Xia Yu! First, Dafa Real Estate slapped Tianwu Securities in the first battle, and then Qingzhou Yingni grabbed hundreds of millions of fortunes in the first battle, each time more brilliant! The victorious general of the stock market is talking about Xia Yu! Chapter 142: 9 Ding Financial Building "Hey¡­¡­" "Hey, Li Sheng, don''t worry, if the fund is launched, you will be notified as soon as possible, ok..." After putting down the phone, Xia Yu sighed, but the smile on his face couldn''t hide it. When Xia Yu asked Wang Qi to set up a special fund to receive investment from outside, many people called to the company to make an appointment, and some even called Xia Yu directly. Among them, Li Chaoren, who knew the best of Xia Yu''s skills, was also the first There was a call for a while, and Xia Yu naturally refused to come and responded. It can be said that funds that have not been established are absolutely no longer worry about funds. Unlike other securities and fund companies, when a fund is established to absorb capital, it asks grandpa and grandma to explain, hoping to persuade others to invest. But Xia Yu''s completely reversed, and there was an endless stream of people who wanted to invest, but Xia Yu had to set a threshold and choose a good partner. Instead, the initiative is in Xia Yu''s hands! This is the benefit of being famous! With such a great halo, Jiuding Securities Company can definitely take off. In addition to funds, other businesses of Jiuding Securities will also be better developed, such as mergers and acquisitions, securities underwriting and sponsorship, and asset management. In the next few days, Xia Yu got into a busy schedule, because Jiuding Securities used the momentum to publish a recruitment announcement in the "Jiuding Daily", and he wanted to expand the securities company. Because securities companies are no better than other companies, and there are not more people. Therefore, Xia Yu is very strict in screening employees. First, pass through the first level of data screening, then pass Wang Qi''s level, screen out some people who fish in troubled waters, and finally have Xia Yu personally interview. These three levels can ensure that each one comes in. All are elites. Because of the prestige of Jiuding Securities, coupled with the fact that Xia Yu is in the town, and has strong funds, it is definitely a golden shack in the eyes of practitioners in the financial industry, so many highly capable people are preparing to quit. Xia Yu has collected many powerful people, and several of them are not worse than Wang Qi in Xia Yu''s opinion. It¡¯s just that although his ability is not bad, he is a newcomer after all. Xia Yu still has to consider Wang Qi¡¯s credit and hard work, and arranges these people in other positions, but he will never bury them, and there is enough space for them to show off. Fist. In the past few days, Xia Yu is also responsible for the company''s office space. With the expansion of manpower, the area will naturally expand. Xia Yu was not stingy, and he bought a ten-story building near the Kowloon Stock Exchange for a full 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He didn¡¯t feel distressed. Anyway, the price of this building would definitely go up and it would cost him. The money can be taken out as a mortgage. What''s more, after the company stabilizes, Xia Yu will start a fund-raising plan. The funding problem will definitely be greatly eased, so there is no need to withhold money. After so many days, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings Group has been rising continuously, and it has stabilized until today, but at this time, the total market value of Cheung Kong Holdings Group has risen to 1.59 billion Hong Kong dollars, compared with the previous total market value of 1.27 billion Hong Kong dollars. It rose by 320 million Hong Kong dollars, and this alone made Li Chaoren a big profit. Also because of the sharp rise in stock prices and the boom in the limelight, in the latest issue of "Economics" magazine, Li Chaoren became the cover character. At the same time, the Cheung Kong Holdings Group rushed to several places with a market value of 1.59 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking 25th in the top 100 HeungKong enterprises, an increase of 5! Similarly, Li Chaoren''s personal wealth has skyrocketed as a result, and he has rushed forward four places on the Hong Kong Rich List! And Xia Yu also made a fortune. He holds a 4.9% stake in Cheung Kong Holdings. The acquisition of these shares cost him 63 million Hong Kong dollars. And now that 4.9% of the shares have a market value of 77.91 million Hong Kong dollars, here, Jiuding Securities has achieved a floating profit of 14.91 million Hong Kong dollars. Originally, Xia Yu planned to sell the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, but thought that he should not be short of funds now, and in the long run, holding the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings was very cost-effective, so Xia Yu changed his mind. He intends to hold it temporarily. After the fund is established, he will deliver the shares of the Cheung Kong Industrial Group to his own fund for long-term holding. He can also make money and set out funds to invest in more profitable projects such as Wharf. And the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings Group have not been released. He plans to buy some more. After more than 5%, he will enter the board of directors of Cheung Kong Holdings Group to seek a seat on the board of directors. With the help of Cheung Kong Holdings Group¡¯s platform, he can increase his influence and expand his contacts. . He has the friendship to help Li Chaoren in acquiring Qingzhou Yingni Company, and Jiuding Securities holds shares in Cheung Kong Industrial Group. It is a pure financial investment. It will not affect Li Chaoren¡¯s control of the company, but on the Cheung Kong Industrial Group. There are great benefits, it will increase the confidence of investors, Li Chaoren will definitely welcome Xia Yu''s arrival. In this way, money is also made and influence is increased! But if you want to achieve all of this, you need the funds of the fund. "The company has expanded, and it is time to set up a fund to raise funds from outside. Using other people''s money to help yourself make money is the most correct way!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said inwardly. ... Soon, Jiuding Securities Co. moved into the newly purchased building, and the building was directly named Jiuding Financial Building. A huge lighted sign was erected on the roof, marking the name of Jiuding Securities. From a distance, can give others a feeling that Jiuding Securities is powerful at first glance. For financial companies, the appearance is very important! This time, despite Xia Yu¡¯s rigorous screening, Jiuding Securities¡¯ reputation is too high, coupled with various other factors, which are extremely attractive to them, so applicants are in an endless stream, and almost all have the strength. As long as he passed his in-person interview, Xia Yu would not refuse to come, and no financial company would dislike too many talents. Moreover, Jiuding Securities now owns more than 150 million yuan in its own funds and assets. If only this asset is counted, it can definitely be regarded as the leader among the medium-sized companies. In addition, Xia Yu also conducted financial leveraged capital allocation at HSBC before, and now this more than one billion has not been allocated. Even so, the company now manages 400 million funds, which can be regarded as a large-scale securities. Company. Moreover, many large securities companies do not necessarily have 150 million of their own funds, and they are basically the funds raised, but you must know that Jiuding Securities has not raised funds externally! After the external fundraising, the strength of Jiuding Securities will definitely skyrocket! Chapter 143: Huijin and Huizhong Because the company was big, Xia Yu also reintegrated the company, especially in terms of personnel management, and assigned correspondingly recognized people to be responsible. The first is the front desk department, which is a pure business department that can bring revenue and profits to the company. Business types include brokerage business, investment banking business, asset management business, proprietary securities business, investment consulting business, margin financing and securities lending business, and asset custody business. Jiuding Securities has set up separate departments according to its business, such as brokerage management headquarters, investment bank headquarters and various business departments, asset management department, investment management headquarters, fixed income headquarters, research institutes, credit business headquarters, and asset custody department. Although in the previous period of Liuhe Securities, due to its weak strength, many businesses did not have much success, even some businesses did not, and after being acquired by Xia Yu, they retired their investment. Now Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. except for its own funds investment, other The business is still blank. But now every department is equipped with industry veterans, and even the officers are elites with experience in the industry. With a huge reputation bonus, many businesses of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will be carried out very well, and there is no need for summer Yu worried. And now Xia Yu is most concerned about the investment management department. In addition to investing in his own funds, the two securities investment funds Xia Yu intends to set up will also be linked here. And these two funds, Xia Yu also considered, they are called Huijin No. 1 Fund and Huizhong No. 1 Fund. Among them, the executive in charge of Huijin No. 1 Fund is Jin Jiajun, a 35-year-old industry elite who once worked as an investment manager in a securities company. He has a rigorous personality and decisive work. He is highly appreciated by Xia Yu. Huijin''s series of funds are like the future Huijin No. 2 and Huijin No. 3 will be under his control. On Huijin No. 1, Xia Yu intends to raise at least one billion Hong Kong dollars. This is for the rich and powerful. The fund is divided into 100 units, so the entry threshold is one million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, if fund sales become more enthusiastic at that time, Xia Yu will also moderately adjust the fund volume, and it is not impossible to raise 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Huijin Huijin, on the surface means gathering funds, and on the other hand means gathering big money owners. Although the threshold is high, for those rich and large families, one million is not too much, so in order to avoid being overwhelmed, Xia Yu has set a limit, each person can take up to ten shares, which is an investment of ten million. Xia Yu knows that he will not lack investment, so how to maximize the benefits has become his consideration. He intends to use these funds to expand his contacts. He must have as many buyers as possible. If he is covered by one person, it will not be achieved. It''s his purpose. And if it is rounded up by one person or several people, it is not easy to manage for Xia Yu, and he is not easy to check and balance. The Huizhong No. 1 Fund and a series of subsequent Huizhong funds are controlled by the 36-year-old Ai Lewen. He is also rigorous and has a good record in the previous company. He has a good investment vision. The deep Xia Yu respects him. Arranging this position can be regarded as the middle and high management of the company. Huizhong No. 1 Fund also raised 100 million, but the threshold is very low, only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per share, a total of 2,000 shares, and there are also restrictions. Each person can purchase up to ten shares, which is a limit of 500,000. . Huizhong means to gather the masses. Xia Yu also intends to use this fund to expand the influence of Jiuding Securities Company to attract middle and high-class customers. This class of people is capable of stock trading and is the favorite customer group of securities companies. Of course, Xia Yu must quickly recruit. At the same time, taking the opportunity to spread influence among this group, it will also facilitate other businesses in the future. As for those at the lower level, Xia Yu will give up for the time being. After all, with limited energy, he has to arrange the order according to the degree of importance and the degree of benefit to the company. Until the company continues to expand in the future, after the mid-to-high-level market has been developed, it will be the turn of the low-level. After the company was sorted out, Xia Yu also had to sort out the investment situation of his own funds so that he knew it well, so he called Wang Qi in and listened to his report. "Boss, our own capital was originally 28.5 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the 125.84 million Hong Kong dollars earned this time, it should be 154.34 million Hong Kong dollars, and you bought Jiuding Financial Building for 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the company bought a car. Coupled with the company¡¯s purchases and a series of expenditures, our own investable funds are now HK$144 million." "And 28.5 million Hong Kong dollars have passed through HSBC''s 10-fold leveraged capital allocation, so the dedicated account is 285 million Hong Kong dollars, and the funds we did not use leverage are 115.5 million Hong Kong dollars." "Of the 285 million Hong Kong dollars, after selling the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company this time, only the shares of Wharf and Cheung Kong Holdings are left. All of our accounts have acquired 4.9% of Cheung Kong Holdings. The stock cost 63 million Hong Kong dollars." "And all of our accounts have acquired 12.5 million shares of Wharf stocks, a total of 12.76% of the equity, which cost us 167 million Hong Kong dollars in total." "So removing the funds that have been spent, the previous 285 million funds are now left with 55 million Hong Kong dollars." "Good job!" Xia Yu said appreciatively. "Thank you, Boss, for the praise!" A flash of joy flashed in Wang Qi''s eyes, and he quickly bowed his head respectfully. The boss valued him, so he was at ease. He was very powerful in the company before, as if he stood out from the crowd, so the boss Xia Yu valued him, and he didn''t think much about it. But now the company has expanded on a large scale, and many great people have arrived. The Xiangjiang Financial Market is such a big one. After so many years in the business, Wang Qi also knows which companies have powerful people. Even if he has not seen them, he has heard of them. But he did not expect that many of them would switch to their own companies this time. In Wang Qi¡¯s view, many People are not inferior to him in ability, and even some people are even better than him. And his deep boss Xia Yu is highly regarded, and he has the highest position in the company. It can be said that he is only under the boss Xia Yu, which puts him under a lot of pressure. Especially this time the boss plans to launch two funds, each with a base of 100 million, controlled by Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen respectively. If managed well, there will be No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 later... Waiting for the fund, it is impossible to guarantee that one day it will not exceed him. Therefore, Wang Qi felt a strong sense of urgency, and was deeply afraid of being overtaken by them. Now he devotes 120% of his energy every day, hoping to do everything the best, so that the boss can see his abilities and efforts. ... After listening to Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu fell into thinking. Now it costs HK$167 million to acquire 12.76% of Wharf¡¯s stock. If you want to buy at least 20%, or even 25%, of Wharf¡¯s stock, if the stock price will rise slowly, it will cost you at least. It needs more than one billion of funds, and now the funds in the dedicated account are only 55 million Hong Kong dollars. However, if the fund is successfully established, the Cheung Kong Group¡¯s stock can be handed over to the Huizhong Fund or Huijin Fund to be delivered to the Huizhong Fund or Huijin Fund Not only can it recover the principal of 63 million Hong Kong dollars, but also nearly 1,500 Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars in profit. In this way, there will be 118 million Hong Kong dollars left in the account of the proprietary plan, which should be enough to acquire 20% of Wharf''s stock. The other accounts with unutilized leverage plus nearly 15 million in profits will also have at least 130 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. Temporarily enough funds! Other plans can be made! The company''s other low profits and no strategic investment tasks can be handed over to Huizhong and Huijin to operate, and it will not affect his money. Therefore, in Xia Yu''s view, the foundation of Jiuding Securities has been laid, and it has been solidified. As long as the subsequent fund preparation work is completed smoothly, Jiuding Securities will have no worries for the time being. "Then, it''s time to start the external fundraising!" A glint flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes and secretly decided. Chapter 144: Tiered income commission "Wang Qi, you let Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen come in!" Xia Yu told Wang Qi. "Okay, boss!" Wang Qi nodded and replied, and then went out, and soon came in with Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen. Xia Yu glanced over the three of them, nodded slightly, and the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses whose eyes stayed on Wang Qi''s left said: "Jin Jiajun, how are you running into your team these days?" This middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses is Jin Jiajun. After Xia Yu recruited him, although the funds had not yet been secured, Xia Yu had asked him to prepare for the Huijin No. 1 Fund and provided him with many capable subordinates. Just let him seize the time to run in so that he can quickly get on track after the funds are in place. Jin Jiajun replied with a serious expression: "Boss, we are all capable people in our team, and we are in the state very quickly. At present, we are almost running in. There must be no problem before the fund is officially operated!" "Very good!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then looked over Wang Qi in the middle and looked at the other middle-aged man to his right. It was Ai Lewen who was in charge of preparing the Huizhong No. 1 Fund. An ordinary-looking person with a thin body but a confident face. "Ailewen, how about you?" Xia Yu asked again. "Boss, I''m almost running-in, and I will definitely be able to run-in before the fund operation, and normal operation will not be delayed!" Ai Lewen glanced at Jin Jiajun quickly, and then said respectfully to Xia Yu. Ai Lewen''s eye movements were seen by Xia Yu, and he was happy. It seems that although Ai Lewen is thin, he is more competitive, which is a good thing. Xia Yu saw Jin Jiajun standing straighter, with a confident smile on his face, but Wang Qi standing in the middle looked a little serious. This atmosphere makes Xia Yu somewhat satisfied. There is internal competition, so that employees can work harder and the company can develop faster. For him, he is very willing to see this situation. Therefore, although Wang Qi''s life will be more difficult in the future, Xia Yu does not know, and hopes that Wang Qi can grow up more quickly under their pressure. "Very good. Next, the company will hold a cocktail party. This cocktail party is to announce to Xiangjiang that we are coming. At the same time, it will also use this cocktail party to raise funds for Huizhong and Huijin funds." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Wang Qi and all three of them were shocked, and a touch of joy flashed across the faces of Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen. "I plan to arrange this cocktail party at The Peninsula Hotel, Wang Qi, you will make arrangements for the specific matters. The company will announce the news tomorrow, and funds will be raised at the cocktail party." "Next, for the big families and wealthy people in Hong Kong, whether they come or not, you will send an invitation, and also the political and police circles, don¡¯t forget, even the Hong Kong Governor will send a copy. No matter what, the etiquette must be in place, it is their business to come or not!" Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi and solemnly explained. "Understand!" A hint of joy flashed in Wang Qi''s eyes, and he straightened his waist and responded loudly. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and looked at the other two again. "Jin Jiajun, Ellen." "Here!" Jin Jiajun stood up straight and replied. "On the day of the reception, I will push you to the front desk and introduce you to everyone in charge of the two funds. At that time, you will definitely have to receive many rich and senior officials. Be prepared and make no mistakes!" Xia Yu exhorted. "Yes!" "Understood!" Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen immediately responded loudly, their expressions were very solemn. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, then took out three printed manuscripts from the drawer and handed them to Jin Jiajun, Ai Lewen, and Wang Qi, who quickly took them over. "Look at it first!" The three of them looked at it immediately. Because they didn''t have many words, the three of them quickly finished reading it, but after reading it, they all looked at Xia Yu in confusion, with surprise, confusion, and surprise in their eyes. "If you have any questions, just ask!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Boss, the annual compound rate promised here is the lowest 10%, which is 2% higher than the 8% of the general fund, and will the conditions for the step-by-step sharing seem a bit harsh?" Ai Lewen asked quickly, but Some caution in terms of language. Jin Jiajun and Wang Qi also stared at Xia Yu, waiting for the boss Xia Yu''s answer. They were also very concerned about this issue. I have to talk about the fund''s investment income distribution. There are two modes for general fund income distribution, one is the priority return mode of principal, and the other is the project distribution mode. Under the principle of priority return model, the fund does not distribute profits on a single project, but calculates the profits of all projects in a unified manner. The project allocation model is that the fund is divided into multiple projects, and the gains and losses are calculated separately. For investors, the priority return model is less risky and more secure, but they don¡¯t want a high return. The win is safe. The project allocation model is risky, but the profit may also be higher. The mode of operation Xia Yu chose here is the priority return mode, which is more beneficial to investors. The return on investment generally has the lowest rate of return on investment promised to investors. Most in the United States is 8%, while Xia Yu promises 10%. This means that when the investment rate of return is lower than this, Jiuding Securities will not receive any income commission except for the basic expenses such as the most basic fund management fees. Even if the fund makes money, but the rate of return is lower than this, then Jiuding Securities The company does not get a commission. Therefore, when this minimum rate of return is good for investors, it is not good for Jiuding Securities. That''s why Ai Lewen is puzzled and the pressure is even greater. Of course, the promised minimum rate of return on investment is high, and Xia Yu will definitely not let himself suffer, and must make up for it elsewhere. And the place to make up was the stepped income stratification that Eleven asked. The general income stratification is that except for fund management fees, all profits are distributed at a ratio of 20% and 80%, that is, the fund management company gets 20% and investors get 80%, and this 80% is distributed by all investors. But this is a normal situation, and the Huijin 1 and Huizhong 1 funds that Xia Yu plans to launch are not divided according to the 28 ratio. It is a more demanding stepped layering. When the investment return rate is below 20%, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. obtains a 20% income commission. When the investment rate of return is 21%-30%, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. obtains a 25% income commission. When the investment yield is 31%-40%, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. obtains a 30% income commission. When the investment rate of return is 41%-50%, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. obtains a 35% income commission. ... When the investment return rate is above 70%, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. gets a 50% income commission. No matter how the rate of return is increased, it will maintain a 50% revenue commission. This income stratification model is more demanding for investors and reduces their income. Ai Lewen is worried that investors have opinions on this step-by-step tiered clause, causing problems in fundraising. If the Huizhong Fund he will control has a capital of 100 million and an investment return rate of 70%, then the return is 70 million, and the commission will be 35 million. But if according to the previous 20% commission it is only 14 million, there is a 21 million difference in the middle, and investors can share 21 million less, how would they agree? Ai Lewen¡¯s concern is a minor problem in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes. He sneered at the corner of his mouth and said: ¡°The current situation is that we don¡¯t have to worry about fundraising issues, but we need to screen investors. Now it¡¯s a seller¡¯s market. Occupy the initiative, they love to invest or not, and there is no stepped tiered clause. Why should I increase the minimum return on investment from 8% to 10%?" "Why don''t other funds dare to propose such a clause? It is because they have no confidence. It is very good to have an investment return rate of 20%. Now the investment return rate of the fund in Hong Kong is 90% below 15%. Funds below 10% account for at least 50%, and there are very few funds that can achieve a return rate of 20%. How can they dare to set a stepped tiered clause?" "Other funds do not have the confidence to maintain a high rate of return, but I have the confidence to maintain a high rate of return on investment. Then, without worrying about fundraising, why do we need the same level of return as other funds? This is a loss for us! " "What''s more, these high commission rates also have preconditions, that is, the return on investment reaches a certain level before the corresponding terms will be activated. If our return on investment is not so high, then these terms will naturally be useless!" Chapter 145: Improper Mother! Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ai Lewen, Jin Jiajun and the others looked at each other, but did not dare to refute them. The boss''s meaning is obvious. He is confident that the return on investment is high, so he is not reconciled to only draw a 20% commission. But after listening to the explanation from the boss, Xia Yu, they also figured it out. The reason why Ai Lewen would ask questions was that he did not expect the confidence of the boss Xia Yu to be so high. This made him feel a lot of pressure. Among his previous projects managed by the company, the highest rate of return was only 25%, but this time it was different. He was in charge of a whole fund based on the principal. The priority return model is used to calculate profits, so if the overall return rate of the fund is high, it is more difficult. He does not have this confidence. Similarly, even though Jin Jiajun believes that he is not bad, he has no confidence to guarantee the return rate of the entire fund above 20%. As the boss said before, among all Heung Kong funds, less than 90% of the funds have a return rate of less than 15%, and those that can reach more than 20% are even rarer. How about 30%? 40%? Or even a return rate of more than 70% of 50%? However, what Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen worry about is not a problem in Xia Yu''s view. Not to mention his own abilities, which are top-notch on Wall Street. In the small pond of Xiangjiang now, he is like a shark. , How could he be afraid of other people, not to mention that he is not short of funds now, and he is not worried anymore. Furthermore, with the memory of later generations, Xia Yu knows that in the next few years, the market of the Hong Kong stock market will continue to rise. The HSI will rise from more than 400 points in 1978 to more than 1,800 points in 1983. More than 4 times. As for which companies in Xiangjiang have great potential and which are later blue-chip stocks, Xia Yu from later generations can see at a glance. According to this investment, one vote is one standard, and it is not difficult to ensure 100% success rate of all projects. , It is difficult to have a project loss! Therefore, it is not difficult to get the fund to have a high return on investment. Xia Yu is very confident! Therefore, in this kind of fund that can enjoy the precious wealth of his rebirth and memory, if he only draws a 20% commission like other funds, then he is brain-disabled, and he is not the Virgin. How could he know that he can Give more profits to others while making big money? Xia Yu took into account the risk reduction and profit increase factors of his own cheat sheet. Outsiders may not know it, but he himself cannot ignore it. If he was a Virgin, he would kindly lead other people to make money. Even if he wanted to lead others to make money, he would have to be severely scratched. Anyway, it¡¯s definitely a seller¡¯s market now. As long as you explain the stepped stratification clearly, some people come to invest. In the eyes of discerning people, this stepped stratification is a manifestation of Xia Yu¡¯s confidence. If people do not have confidence, they will not dare. Come up with such harsh terms. Therefore, in Xia Yu''s view, fundraising will never go wrong. Ai Lewen''s worries are completely redundant. He hasn''t fully understood Xia Yu''s ability before he raised this concern. "Okay, don''t worry about this issue, I will guide you to invest." Feeling a bit cold when he spoke just now, causing the atmosphere to be wrong, Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing what the boss said, Ai Lewen and Jin Jiajun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time there was a hint of joy on their faces. Since the bosses will personally participate and have the guidance of the stock gods, they naturally don''t have so much pressure. You know, they came to Jiuding Securities on the basis of Xia Yu, otherwise they stayed in the original company, and why did they change jobs? Didn¡¯t they see that they have a greater future with the stock god? Can you learn more? "Well, Ai Lewen, do you have any other questions?" Xia Yu asked Ai Lewen. "No more!" Ai Lewen quickly shook his head and said. "What about you?" Xia Yu looked at Jin Jiajun and asked again. "No more!" Jin Jiajun also shook his head quickly. Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi again, and when he saw Wang Qi also shaking his head, he nodded and said again: "In this case, you are ready for each, and at the same time, you also combined the fund income terms in your hand with other basic information to announce the two. The basic situation of the fund will let people who want to invest understand." "Understand!" Ai Lewen and others responded quickly. "By the way, Ai Lewen, because the Huizhong No. 1 Fund you control is a share of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, the threshold is low, and there are many shares. Then it will be a little troublesome to raise funds at the reception, and the main thing you are facing is not those big ones. Regal, so Huizhong Fund can raise funds first, and you can start now, but you must leave half of the share for the day of the reception." Xia Yu told Ailewen. "Okay!" Ai Lewen quickly nodded in response. After all, the 100 million funds were divided into two thousand shares. It would take a long time to register. If the fundraising is done at the same time as Jin Jiajun, it will definitely be completed more slowly. Fortunately, the boss considers When it comes, let him raise funds first. "Jin Jiajun, the Huijin No. 1 Fund you control will wait until the reception to raise funds, so compared to Ai Lewen, your burden will be heavier that day, you must be prepared!" Xia Yu once again told Jin Jiajun . Seeing that it was all right, Xia Yu let Wang Qi and others all go out. After he stayed in the company for a while, he cleaned up, took some of the money, and went to do something. It took him more than two hours. After finishing his work, Xia Yu took Yan Shining to the Chunqiu Medical Center to visit Xia Lei. Today is the day when Xia Lei has cultivated and left. Of course he will pass. The car drove fast on the road. After more than ten minutes, it finally stopped at the entrance of the Spring and Autumn Medical Hall. Xia Yu and Yan Shining got out of the car and walked towards the Medical Hall. As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu saw Li Chunqiu who was seeing a doctor. He smiled and said to Li Chunqiu, "Master Li, I am here again." "Xia Sheng, you go in first, Xia Lei is waiting for you inside!" Li Chunqiu said with a smile, then looked back and continued to see the doctor. Xia Yu and Li Chunqiu were also very familiar with each other. They didn''t see anything outside, and walked directly inside with Yan Shining, and soon saw Xia Lei sitting on the bed watching TV. "A Yu, you are here!" Seeing Xia Yu, Xia Lei immediately shouted happily before getting out of bed and walking towards Xia Yu. Hug with Xia Lei, Xia Yu looked at Xia Lei up and down very happily, and said: "A Lei (I won¡¯t be called Leizi in the future, I will always be complained about, and now I am starting to change). See if you look good, recover. The ground is almost there!" "Hey, take a look!" Xia Lei said as he lifted his coat directly, revealing the original wound. Xia Yu immediately lowered his head and observed it carefully, and found that there was only a light red scar on it, and the connecting scab was gone. Xia Yu was a little surprised. He did not expect to recover so well, but he was still not at ease, and gently used his fingers. He pressed the button, raised his head and asked Xia Lei: "Does it hurt?" "It''s no longer painful, it has recovered. Dr. Li''s medical skills are very good. The wound healed very quickly, and I didn''t know that he applied it to me. The scab quickly fell off and the flesh grew quickly." Xia Lei smiled heartily. In order to prove that he was okay, he twisted his waist and made Xia Yu worried. However, seeing that Xia Lei had no discomfort at all, he relieved his mind and smiled more on his face. "By the way, A Yu, I have to congratulate you. I have seen it in the newspapers and on TV. Your Jiuding Securities Company has made hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at a time. That''s amazing! And your Jiuding Newspaper Company is the same. It¡¯s amazing. You¡¯re the invincible player in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. People call you a newspaper tycoon, Xiangjiang stock god, amazing!" "I didn''t expect you to become a tycoon so soon, hehe, my brother is a tycoon! Haha! I knew you would be a tycoon, but I didn''t expect it so soon!" Xia Lei smiled from the heart, with pride in his face and eyes, happy for Xia Yu''s proud achievements. "Any tycoon who is not a tycoon is not your brother." Xia Yu joked with a smile. "Hey, yes, it''s my brother!" Xia Lei grinned, scratching his head and smiling. At this moment, Li Chunqiu went into the room after seeing the illness. "Master Li, you''re finished, I want to ask what is going on with A Lei?" Xia Yu asked quickly with a smile on his face. "He has been recuperated now and can leave, but he needs to pay attention during this time and don''t exercise vigorously." Li Chunqiu said with a light smile. Hearing this, Xia Yu finally let go of his heart completely. It seems that Xia Lei is really fine. "It''s great, staying in the room all day, panicking, and finally able to go out, haha." Xia Lei said happily, apparently staying here during this time, making him feel uncomfortable. Moreover, Li Chunqiu often gave him ginseng soup to replenish his body, which made him energetic, but he had no place to vent. Now that he is finally free, he is not happy. Seeing Xia Lei''s ecstasy, Xia Yu shook his head helplessly. He who knew Xia Lei''s character also knew that it was difficult for him during this time. "A Lei, did you hear me? Be careful not to exercise vigorously during this time." Xia Yu worried that Xia Lei would not listen ~ www.novelhall.com~ and quickly repeated Li Chunqiu''s words again. "I see, A Yu, don''t worry!" Xia Lei said, patted his chest quickly. Seeing Xia Lei''s appearance, Xia Yu, Li Chunqiu and Yan Shining couldn''t help laughing. "Xia Sheng, congratulations, you have made a lot of money!" Li Chunqiu congratulated Xia Yu with a smile. "Thank you Master Li, I didn''t make much." Xia Yu said modestly. Li Chunqiu smiled and shook his head, without comment. Instead, he said, "Xia Sheng, wait and eat at my place. You are busy at work during this period and you don¡¯t have much time to stay, so I won¡¯t say much. I will finish eating later. Let me give you the kung fu. Judging from your face, you have obviously been overworked during this period of time. You have to pay attention to your body." Xia Yu''s face shrank, his smile put away, and he took a deep breath and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for your reminder! Then I will trouble you later!" "You''re welcome!" Li Chunqiu stroked his white beard and smiled lightly. Chapter 146: How many centimeters can it be? When it came time for lunch, there were only Li Chunqiu and Li Wuyang and his sons, Xia Yu, Yan Shining and Xia Lei. Yan Hong had already lived in Xia Yu¡¯s house. He went to school during the day and took Chinese medicine at night. Check once in Spring and Autumn. After eating lunch and resting for a while, Xia Yu followed Li Chunqiu to a room, but Yan Shining and Xia Lei did not follow. After waiting for a long time, Xia Yu followed Li Chunqiu out, followed Tai Chi in the yard, and practiced the so-called breathing method that he had just learned. Although I learned it, in Xia Lei''s view, the style of play is still ordinary Tai Chi, and I can''t see why it is. Only Xia Yu knows the specific situation. As the number of exercises continued to increase, Xia Yu also slowly found the rhythm, feeling that his body became lighter, and the whole person was very relaxed. Feeling relaxed refers to Xia Yu''s current state. After practicing, I don¡¯t know how long, Xia Yu followed Li Chunqiu in a posture of regaining power, exhaling a long breath, feeling warm all over. Although he has been exercising for so long, not only did he not feel a trace of tiredness, but he was full of energy and in excellent condition. Xia Yu was a little emotional. If he learned it early, he would be more efficient in handling affairs every day, and he would be able to get into the state of thinking about problems faster. But it''s not too late! "Thank you Master for teaching!" Xia Yu bowed respectfully to Li Chunqiu. Li Chunqiu stroking his beard and smiling, did not dodge, accepting Xia Yu''s thanks. "Xia Sheng, if you practice harder in the future, your body will get better and better, at least you won''t get sick easily, and you are still young now, when your body is developing, it is still very good for your development!" Li Chunqiu told Xia Yu with a faint smile. "Okay, I remember, I will definitely practice harder!" Xia Yu said solemnly. He really remembered it in his mind. He had never been aware of this effect before. Just now, he felt the effect of Tai Chi in conjunction with the breathing method. He did not know the principle, but the reaction of the body told him that it worked. not bad. And as Li Chunqiu said, he is now in the growth period, if more practice is good for development, a few centimeters longer is very important to him, of course he refers to height. No one does not want to be taller! Therefore, Xia Yu has made up his mind in his heart. From now on, he will get up and practice for at least one hour every morning. Perseverance, there will be good results in the end! Unknowingly, it was evening, and Xia Jun also rushed over after get off work. "A Yu, A Lei, I''m late!" Xia Jun ran in and greeted him with some gasping. After seeing Xia Lei''s state, his face couldn''t help but smile. "Brother Jun!" "Brother Jun, you are here!" Xia Yu and Xia Lei smiled and said to Xia Jun. Then, Xia Yu talked to Xia Jun about the situation, and after chatting for a while, seeing that it was late, Xia Yu thanked Li Chunqiu. He has already agreed with his family to take Xia Jun and Xia Lei to the house for dinner tonight, which is considered to be a celebration of Xia Lei''s recovery and discharge. Xia Yu didn''t want to go out to eat either. It was better to eat at home, and it was more warm. The most important thing was that Xia Yu had something to explain to Xia Jun and Xia Lei after the meal, so it was most convenient to eat at home. With Xia Jun and Xia Lei on board, Yan Shining drove to the house and arrived at Xia Yu''s house not long after. In Xia Yu''s home at this time, Xia Ming, Yan Hong and others had returned from school, and it happened that the three children were all sitting on the sofa watching TV. After seeing the four of Xia Yu coming in, Xia Ming jumped off the sofa and ran over happily. "Dad!" Yan Hong called to Yan Shining. "Brother, you are back!" "Brother Xia Jun, Brother Xia Lei, you are here too, I haven''t seen you for a long time!" After Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei shouted happily, they were very polite and immediately prepared to make tea. Xia Lei and Xia Jun both smiled and sat on the sofa. Xia Lei rubbed Xia Ming''s head. He hadn''t seen Xia Ming for a long time, and he was a little excited. At this time, Xia Dahai and Chen Mei in the kitchen also walked out after hearing the sound. After seeing Xia Jun and Xia Lei in the living room, they immediately greeted them enthusiastically. "Lei Tsai, Jun Tsai, haven''t seen you for a long time, sit down, don''t be polite with your uncle, just be your own home!" Xia Dahai wiped the water from his hands on his clothes and walked over with a hearty smile. After seeing Xia Jun and Xia Lei about to get up, he waved their hands and motioned them to sit down. "Come on, Jun Zai, Lei Zai, eat fruit, I heard A Yu said that you are coming tonight, I specially bought them, they are all fresh, try it soon!" Chen Mei also enthusiastically brought out the prepared fruits from the refrigerator and put them on the tea table with a smile on her face. "Okay, okay, uncle and aunt, we will come by ourselves, and we won''t be polite." Xia Jun responded quickly with a smile, and he was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Xia Dahai and Chen Mei. "Yes, Uncle Hai, Auntie, we can do it ourselves, we won''t be polite to you." Xia Lei also agreed with a smile. Seeing this scene, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. This atmosphere made him very relaxed. Then, Xia Yu also sat down and chatted with Xia Jun, Xia Lei and others. "A Yu, your sofa is comfortable to sit on, and the TV is so big, A Ming and Xiao Mei are not happy to find a side!" Leaning on the sofa, Xia Lei pressed the sofa with his hand and looked at the big TV in front of which was playing the TV series. He found that Xia Ming, Xia Xiaomei and Yan Hong were watching the TV series with gusto. He couldn''t help but release it. With emotion. "Yeah, A Yu, where did we get such good treatment when we were young? A Ming and the others are happy." Xia Jun nodded and said in agreement. Xia Yu laughed, did not speak, as if thinking of something, with a look of expectation. Before long, a dish was brought out from the kitchen, and Xia Yu greeted Xia Jun and the others to eat together. After eating a warm dinner Xia Yu talked to his parents, and then took Xia Jun and Xia Lei who were a little confused and walked outside. Xia Yu got into the car first, took out two file bags, and stuffed them into Xia Jun and Xia Lei''s hands one by one: "You can hold them for me first!" After speaking, they took Xia Jun and walked towards a nearby house. "Ayu, what''s the matter? Come out to see the scenery? But don''t say anything. Although it is night, there are street lights all the way. The scenery here is really good at night." Xia Jun said with some doubts, and said that he looked at the lawn and flowers on the side of the road with some admiration. "Brother Jun is right!" Xia Lei agreed, turning his head from time to time, observing the surroundings. "You will be able to see it all the time in the future, I hope you don''t see the annoyance at last!" Xia Yu said with a light smile. "By the way, A Yu, where shall we go shopping?" Xia Lei asked curiously. Chapter 147: No more worries "Okay, here it is, that''s it!" As soon as Xia Lei finished asking, Xia Yu stopped at the door of a villa and said. "Here? A Yu, whose house is this?" Xia Lei looked dumbfounded, looked up at the villa in front of him, and asked Xia Yu suspiciously. "Give me the bag first!" Xia Yu smiled and did not answer. Instead, he took the bag from Xia Lei''s hand. After opening it, he took out a key from the inside and inserted it into the lock while Xia Lei and Xia Jun were caught. "Click!" Hearing only the sound of metal collision, the door was opened by Xia Yu. Pushing open the door, a hall as spacious as Xia Yu''s house is exposed, but the decoration is different from Xia Yu''s house. "Take it! Come in and have a look, I''m not satisfied!" Xia Yu pulled out the key, stuffed it into Xia Lei''s hand, said to Xia Lei who was dumbfounded, and then walked in first. "A Yu, what are you doing? Why give me the key?" Xia Lei had a guess in his heart, but he couldn''t believe it. After swallowing a few mouthfuls, he looked at Xia Yu and said with a trembling voice. "A Yu, is this?" Xia Jun asked in disbelief, astonished. "Come in and sit down! I''ll talk about it later!" Seeing their incredible expressions, Xia Yu smiled and greeted them to come in and sat down on the sofa. Xia Jun and Xia Lei didn''t speak, and sat down on the sofa honestly. Xia Lei''s hand holding the key has been spread out, holding the key, just afraid to hold it. "Are, take out the contents of the file bag and have a look!" Xia Yu said towards Xia Lei. "Oh, okay!" Xia Lei hurriedly responded, then hurriedly opened the file bag and took out a pile of things from it. "Look!" Xia Yu said, leaning on the sofa, with an expectant smile on his face. ""House Purchase Contract"? One million? Real estate certificate?" Xia Lei flipped through the stack of documents in his hand. After seeing the two titles and the amount, his heart trembled, and then when he saw the name written on it, he was not calm at all, just because it was his name written on it. --Xia Lei! Seeing this, not only Xia Lei, but Xia Jun also looked at Xia Yu, who was smiling in shock. "A Yu, did you buy it for me?" Because it was so pleasantly surprised and unexpected, Xia Lei''s voice trembled. This house is one million Hong Kong dollars, and his name is written. How could he clam down. "Yes, it''s for you, how about it, are you satisfied?" Xia Yu said with a happy smile. "This is too expensive, A Yu, I can''t ask for it!" Hearing Xia Yu''s confirmation, Xia Lei''s eyes were red, and a deep emotion and surprise poured out from his heart, but he put down the file in his hand and said firmly. "If you treat me as a brother, just take it, and your name has already been written, and you can''t change it!" "And this house isn''t for you, it''s for your mother. You have the heart to let your mother live in the fishing village?" Xia Yu''s face was flat, his sword eyebrows were erected, and his eyes were straight at Xia Lei. "I..." Xia Lei suffocated, thinking of his mother, he was full of guilt, and Xia Yu said the same, it would not be good for him not to accept it, but this is a one million house, even though Xia Yu Now he is worth more than 100 million yuan, not bad for this money, but his heart can''t pass this level. "A Lei, you are my dead brother. Take it quickly. Since you have to work hard, I can''t say anything to help, but at least to solve your worries, and my parents are not used to living here, you No matter if your mother is here, be a company with my parents!" Xia Yu persuaded in a calm tone. As Xia Yu said, when buying a house for Xia Lei and Xia Jun, first, considering their settlement problem and solving their worries for the future, at least the entry and exit of Jiulongtang is stricter, and it is not safe to be near Xia Yu¡¯s home. questionable. The second is to allow parents to have a companion. Although this time is very busy, Xia Yu still noticed the state of his parents. When he came here, due to his lack of culture, he always had communication barriers with nearby neighbors. He was very boring. To solve this problem, the same Xia Yu can often see Xia Jun and Xia Lei. The third and most important thing is that Xia Lei saved his life and blocked the gun for him. Without Xia Lei, he would have died long ago. Although Xia Yu avenged his revenge, he always remembered the kindness of Xia Lei that the house could be useful to Xia Lei, so Xia Yu simply bought him a house so that he could settle down. Could this house be worth more than his life? What''s more, now he is worth billions, and spending such a small amount of money to buy a house for Xia Lei and Xia Jun has almost no impact. How could he not bear it? "Take it, you live here, and I have a company, otherwise it''s really boring! And your mother is really not easy, she is old and her health is not good, don''t make her suffer anymore, she should Have a good time!" "If you really think of me as a brother, don''t tell me! Otherwise I turn around and leave!" Xia Yu persuaded again, with a serious expression. Xia Jun has been sitting quietly and watching Xia Yu and Xia Lei communicate. He is not easy to interrupt about this because he also has a file bag in his hand. Obviously Xia Yu also bought him a house, so he did not ask him. , He is not good at expressing his position. "Well, A Yu, I will accept it!" Xia Lei received the documents in his hand again, and nodded heavily towards Xia Yu, with red eyes, full of gratitude to Xia Yu. "That''s right!" Hearing Xia Lei''s words, Xia Yu smiled and said happily. "Go, A Lei, go and see Brother Jun''s house, it''s next to you!" Xia Yu stood up and said. "A Yu, this..." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Xia Jun looked at the file bag in his hand with some embarrassment, his face a little tangled. "Brother Jun, if you are a brother, don''t say much, just accept it like A Lei, don''t you want to be neighbors with A Lei and I?" Xia Yu patted Xia Jun on the shoulder and said seriously. "I''ll accept it!" Xia Jun pursed his lips, nodded heavily, and said thank you without saying anything. But he was full of gratitude to Xia Yu in his heart, and vowed to do his best for Xia Yu in the future. Even if he couldn''t help much, he would try to solve his problems. "Let''s go, go and see!" With that said, Xia Yu took Xia Jun and Xia Lei to the outside again, and soon came to the villa next door, opened the door and walked in. After entering, Xia Jun couldn''t help but look left and right, the smile on his face couldn''t hide. The villas I bought for Xia Jun and Xia Lei were the same size as Xia Yu''s house, both were 240 square meters, and the prices were the same, both were one million. Seeing the smiles from Xia Jun and Xia Lei, Xia Yu smiled silently. Helping them resolve their worries, he can also breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he lives alone in a mansion, a luxury car when he goes out, and a luxury hotel when he eats, but the two brothers who grew up and saved his life still live in a small fishing village. The family leads a hard life. Will never forgive myself. Outsiders don¡¯t need to help, but he can¡¯t turn a blind eye to his own people. Without them, Xia Yu might have seen the King of Yama long ago. Where could he still be? These two houses are worth two million, which is nothing compared to his life. ... After Xia Jun and Xia Lei finally got used to it, it was too early to see that it was too early, and their family was worried. Xia Yu also asked Yan Shining to drive and drove them back together. Although they have bought a house, other furniture is also readily available, and can move in at any time, but they still have to let them explain to the family. The car came to the door of Xia Jun¡¯s house. Xia Yu said to Xia Jun who wanted to get off, ¡°Brother Jun, I won¡¯t go in at this late hour. Tell your uncle and aunt, I will move in tomorrow. Will arrange for the moving company to come." "Okay, A Yu, then trouble you!" Xia Jun nodded and said. "A Lei, A Yu, then, see you tomorrow!" After speaking, Xia Jun got out of the car. Then, Xia Yu sent Xia Lei home again and told him again. After that, Xia Yu asked Yan Shining to drive home. Xia Yu smiled and didn''t speak. Xia Lei may not figure it out now. After he figured it out later, he won''t mention anything to Xia Yu again. ... The next day, UU Reading , Xia Yu asked the moving company to go to the fishing village to help Xia Jun and Xia Lei move. After a busy morning, it was finally done. But Xia Dahai and Chen Mei saw Xia Jun and Xia Lei''s parents. They didn''t know how happy they were. They seemed to have endless words, and they kept talking. The family of Xia Jun and Xia Lei also knew that Xia Yu bought the house, and they were very grateful to Xia Dahai and Chen Mei. Xia Yu went home last night and told his parents about buying a house. They didn''t care if they knew that his son was rich. Although Chen Mei was very distressed, he didn''t show it. Now they have been paying attention to their son¡¯s career, so they already know that their son Xia Yu¡¯s career is very big. They will not care about any decision made by Xia Yu, because they know they can¡¯t manage it, they don¡¯t think much about their sons, and they worry about giving them Creating trouble. Now they are at home with peace of mind, and at the same time nurture their youngest sons and daughters. They don''t expect to be as good as Xia Yu, but they also want to help Xia Yu when they grow up. After a busy morning, after helping Xia Jun and Xia Lei to finish moving, Xia Yu finally felt relieved. Chapter 148: 880,000 daily sales Yesterday afternoon, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced the fundraising conditions of the two funds. It was immediately known to the interested people who were always paying attention. And because this special clause appeared for the first time in Xiangjiang, it went viral immediately and caused a fever. Discussion. But there are also some stock investors who didn''t think much about it. They immediately came to Jiuding Securities to subscribe with the money. In their opinion, following the stock god, can they still lose money? It''s better to take advantage of the hesitation of others and quickly admit it. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the two funds launched by Jiuding Securities will definitely not be short of people who will subscribe. If you don''t hurry to get ahead, you will be afraid that you will not be able to buy them when you have money! On the second day, many newspapers, such as the Hong Kong Economic Journal and Ming Pao, made relevant interpretations of the Huizhong 1 and Huijin 1 funds launched by Jiuding Securities. And Xia Yu''s own "Jiuding Daily" also carried out a deep interpretation of the terms, and between the lines revealed the confidence of Jiuding Securities Co., and encouraged the public to rush to raise funds, or else they would not be able to get them when it was late. When Xia Yu went to Jiuding Securities Company, he saw a few long queues in the company, all of whom came to subscribe to raise stocks. Many people even directly held cash in their hands with anticipation on their faces. In order to ensure their financial and personal safety, Xia Yu directly ordered Li Quan, Zhang Zhi and others to patrol the surrounding area. The company was very busy, but Wang Qi, Ai Lewen and others were very capable, and the situation was always under control, so Xia Yu was relieved. After staying for a while, Xia Yu took Yan Shining to Jiuding Newspaper Company. In the past few days, Xia Yu has stayed here almost all the time for the expansion of Jiuding Securities Company. He walked around Jiuding Newspaper Company every day and left. Now it is time to go back and take a look. "Boss, good morning!" "Hi boss!" Xia Yu walked into the company, and employees kept saying hello to Xia Yu along the way. Xia Yu responded with a smile, and then began to inspect the company. After walking around, Xia Yu was very satisfied. The employees of the company were full of energy and enthusiasm for their work. The work of each department was also carried out in an orderly manner. It seems that Yan Wenhan manages well! Next, Xia Yu went to the economic research room on the fifth floor, and did not see Lin Shanyuan, only Xu Zhixue and others. Xia Yu was not surprised, because he knew that Lin Shanyuan should have gone back to class. Now Xu Zhixue is here because he happens to have no class, otherwise he will leave. It can be said that Lin Shanyuan and Xu Zhixue still did not give up their teaching work. With the opening of Xiangjiang Chinese University and Xiangjiang University, their own jobs have officially started. However, they did not give up their work in the Economic Research Office. Some of the work that could be brought back to the school was brought back to do, and the work that could not be brought back to the school was done in their free time. Because the staff of the Economic Research Office is constantly expanding, although Lin Shanyuan and several other professors will leave from time to time, they still do not affect the normal operation of the "Economic" magazine. It can be said that "Economics" magazine is really on the right track. With a complete mechanism, it will not be affected by individual people. This also makes Xia Yu more at ease. After staying in the economic research office for a while, Xia Yu came to his office and asked Yan Wenhan and the management of various departments to have a short meeting so that he could understand the company''s specific situation. After a while, Yan Wenhan, Zhao Cheng, Sun Changfa, Li Bin and others all came together and sat in a circle around Xia Yu, focusing on Xia Yu, waiting for Xia Yu''s speech. "Zhao Cheng, let''s start with you, talk about the situation of your department, talk about the achievements and difficulties." Xia Yu glanced around them, finally staying on Zhao Cheng, and said. Zhao Cheng nodded respectfully and said, "Boss, our editorial department currently has...no difficulties at the moment!" "Very good!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the Minister of Information Sun Xin next to Zhao Cheng again. "Boss, our press department..." "..." Everyone present reported the work situation one by one, and there was basically no problem. Finally, Yan Wenhan reported the current work progress of the entire company. "Boss, at present, our head office at Xiangjiang has been completely stabilized. During this period of time, the establishment of a branch you ordered has already achieved preliminary results. Every country and region has a responsible person, and I will take care of it. , And other departments in each branch, in addition to docking with the local responsible person, will also dock with the heads of major departments in our headquarters." ¡°Now we have acquired a printing plant in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other places, and it is now in operation. Our newspapers can be printed locally, and there is no need to send them out by Hong Kong. This saves a lot of transportation costs and also speeds up. effectiveness." "I have asked them to investigate the local situation. Next, the major branches will make efforts to make the "Jiuding Daily" sink and expand sales." "In Taiwan Province, I also arranged for someone to set up a branch. So far, I haven''t found anything wrong. If there is a problem, I will immediately report it to the company." "Now our total daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" has reached 880,000 copies, of which Hong Kong''s local sales have remained stable, and the increased sales of 80,000 copies have been contributed by Southeast Asian countries. This is due to our distribution channels. Perfect, and its influence has spread further." "The total sales volume of "Looking for the Qin" has reached 1.25 million sets, which is an increase of 200,000 sets of sales over the previous period!" "The latest weekly sales of "Economic" magazine reached 740,000 copies, an increase of 60,000 copies from the 680,000 copies of the previous second issue, and it is still growing. The sales of this issue now being released follow the trend. Look, there will be more than 740,000 copies." "However, due to the rush of time, although the number of researchers in the Economic Research Office has expanded several times, the top 500 list is still being produced and is expected to be launched in the next issue." "Boss, the above is the overall situation of the company recently! The report is complete!" Yan Wenhan finished speaking in one breath, then took a deep breath and said. Xia Yu smiled satisfied and nodded to Yan Wenhan. Under Yan Wenhan''s management, the situation of Jiuding Newspaper Company really satisfied him, and he was more relieved to let him take care of it. And in Taiwan Province, Yan Wenhan handled it well. Xia Yu had been worried about the fact that the "Oriental Daily" and Ma''s affairs ~ www.novelhall.com~ the Taiwan provincial authorities or certain people, so he was a little cautious about the company''s business entering Taiwan Province and focused on Southeast Asia. . Now that the foundation of Jiuding Newspaper Company in Southeast Asia has been laid, Yan Wenhan has already tried to enter Taiwan without Xia Yu''s orders. This made Xia Yu very satisfied and let him see Yan Wenhan''s enterprising spirit. But now Yan Wenhan reported that the Taiwan branch had not found an abnormality for the time being, and Xia Yu did not take it lightly. Of course, if it''s really okay, that would be great! I only hope that he was worried about it before! "Okay, I have already understood the current situation of the company, and now all aspects are on the right track. I will arrange another task for you. This time, you can do it step by step without any rush!" Xia Yu said. Hearing that the task was about to be assigned, Yan Wenhan and others immediately sat upright, took out their notebooks and pens, and were ready to record matters related to them at any time. Chapter 149: 9 Tripod News Agency Xia Yu glanced around and nodded in satisfaction after seeing this phenomenon. It seems that Yan Wenhan has brought a good head, and other departments have learned from him. Before he came, Sun Xin and others would not have performed such actions, and it was impossible to carry notebooks and pens with them. "As a media company, our influence should be comprehensive." "But now, just a copy of "Jiuding Daily" and a copy of "Economics" magazine appear to be very thin, and both of them are media that focus on finance and business. Although they have achieved the first in the same field, because Audience issues, growth will continue to slow down, so our company needs to open a new newspaper." "The core positioning of "Jiuding Daily" is finance + business + novels, but it has almost neglected in current affairs news, people''s livelihood news, international situation news, etc. This market is waiting for us to explore, so the new newspaper positioning is this Three, current politics + people''s livelihood + international situation." "The name of the newspaper is to be determined. Provide your opinions and give it to me. I will choose a suitable name as the name of the newspaper." Xia Yu said slowly. Waiting for them to record, Xia Yu spoke again: "Do you have any comments or questions? Ask them now!" "Sun Xin, you say." Seeing the Minister of Information Sun Xin raising his hand, Xia Yu called the name. "Boss, I have a question. What you meant just now is that the positioning of the new newspaper is current affairs + people''s livelihood + international situation. The staff of our news department is mainly inclined to financial news. Many people may not be able to grasp the focus of this kind of news, so For good results, my suggestion is whether we can separate and re-recruit such reporters, so as to avoid impact on the current system." "Moreover, in terms of these three positions, current affairs and people''s livelihood, Xiangjiang has corresponding newspapers. For example, "Ming Pao" is aimed at current affairs, but in terms of the international situation, there is currently no newspaper in Xiangjiang that is doing it. We are not familiar with how to do it, and it is more difficult." "Finally, if we want to publish news about the international situation, we need to deploy elite personnel in other countries to transmit important international news back in the first time. To build such news gathering points requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as certain time." Sun Xin stood up and said with some embarrassment. After the boss Xia Yu finished talking, he knew that the biggest burden for the new newspaper was their news department, which was too difficult, so he had to make it clear. Xia Yu nodded and motioned for him to sit down. He continued to ask: "Are there any other comments or questions?" "Boss, our communications department will also encounter the same problems as the news department, and it is more difficult to build a team of communications personnel." Li Bin, Minister of Communications and Communications, also stood up and said. "Where are the others?" Xia Yu asked, looking at the others again. Sun Changfa, Zhao Cheng, Huang Wenshan, Zhang Lei and others all shook their heads and said there was no problem. Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan again. Without waiting for Xia Yu to ask questions, Yan Wenhan stood up and spoke. "Boss, according to your opinion, this newspaper is aimed at both high-level intellectuals and low-level people. I used to work at the Financial Times. I don¡¯t know much about this kind of current affairs newspapers, so there is still a certain way to grasp it. Difficult, I may need some time." "Yeah!" Xia Yu nodded and motioned for him to sit down. "Relax, I know all the difficulties you are talking about. It is because of these considerations that I told you that you don''t need to rush it out." Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing what Xia Yu said, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is time. "But if our Jiuding Newspaper Company wants to develop into a large-scale media group company, we will definitely need a lot of newspapers and magazines. We don''t have them now, and we will gradually establish or acquire them later." "If we follow this consideration, our company''s current departmental structure will have to be adjusted, otherwise the management will be chaotic and efficiency will be affected. The late adjustment is not as good as the early adjustment, so I plan to adjust now." Xia Yu thought for a while, then said slowly. As soon as Xia Yu''s words were uttered, everyone who had just breathed a sigh raised their hearts again. Department adjustment is a major event, involving personnel changes and rights changes. Why don''t they care? Therefore, Sun Xin, Zhao Cheng and others all looked at Xia Yu with bated breath, waiting for Xia Yu''s words. "The finance department and the advertising department remain unchanged." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Liu Zhong and Huang Wenshan breathed a sigh of relief, but the other people''s hearts came up again, because except for these two departments separately, the underlying meaning is that they will all change. "Next, Jiuding News Agency was established, and the editorial department, news department, and communications department were unified under the jurisdiction of Jiuding News Agency, under the direct management of Yan Wenhan and I." "The personnel will be re-integrated and assigned to you. From now on, Jiuding News Agency will not only provide news for the Jiuding Daily, but also the news of the newly opened newspapers from this, and can provide news services to other newspapers, TV stations, radio stations and other news media. ." Xia Yu solemnly said that this step is very important. If Jiuding News Agency does a good job, his self-protection ability and deterrence will greatly increase. Hearing this, the expressions of Sun Xin, Zhao Cheng, and Li Bin changed. The three departments were unified. Although they were still under their jurisdiction, there were too many problems involved, and it was not easy to rectify them. How to allocate rights is another problem. And Jiuding News Agency, they are not familiar with the specific construction, which is also very troublesome. As if he knew their worries, Xia Yu ignored the changes in their expressions and said introductoryly: ¡°News agencies refer to communication agencies that specialize in the collection and release of news information. They use electronic communication technology and other advanced means to quickly report to newspapers and broadcasters. News and information are released by media organizations such as, TV." "The ultimate goal of Jiuding News Agency is to build a network of journalists all over the world to provide news to the headquarters around the clock. The headquarters is responsible for processing and providing news services to different customers and our own media platforms." "The business of news agencies is generally divided into two parts, one is the news sent by foreign offices, national news agencies, special reporters and correspondents, and the other is the editorial department processing according to the type of customer, and then delivering it to the customer in the fastest way." "If you don¡¯t understand the specific construction procedures and details, you can refer to Reuters in the United Kingdom, Associated Press and United Press International in the United States, Agence France-Presse in France, and Xinhua News Agency in the mainland. This matter is left to Yan Wenhan. Responsible, you should have contacted Reuters." "Of course, it is definitely unrealistic for Jiuding News Agency to compete with these national-based news agencies. I will give you an example. However, Jiuding News Agency must at least become the top news agency in Asia and the best news agency in the world. If one day in the future, Jiuding News Agency becomes a worldwide news agency, I think your name will spread all over the world." "And as long as Jiuding News Agency is built, whether it is our current "Jiuding Daily" or other news media such as newspapers and TV stations that will appear in the future, the competitiveness will be greatly improved, and the benefits are very big! So we must not be sloppy. !" "The third and fourth floors of the office building are used as temporary offices for Jiuding News Agency. If they are expanded in the future, they will be relocated." "As for the distribution department and the printing department, the changes are not big, but Sun Changfa and Zhang Lei, as the company''s internal adjustments, your two departments will definitely need to follow the changes. I hope you will follow the pace." "Do you understand?" After a long breath, Xia Yu raised his voice and said to everyone. "understand!" Everyone responded with a serious expression. Although they were still puzzled, the boss had already given a reference target. They still planned to go back to understand clearly, and if they don''t understand anymore, they would come to the boss to ask. Although the boss Xia Yu said that the construction of Jiuding News Agency is very difficult and the goal is also high, it is conceivable that their lives will be more difficult in the future. But from the boss''s words, they also realized the boss'' ambition. Thinking of the future and goals of the Jiuding News Agency, they couldn''t help being upset, dreaming that that day would really appear, and secretly encouraging themselves to build the Jiuding News Agency. And as the boss said, if Jiuding News Agency is built, with such a large news gathering, sorting, and distribution platform , the company''s other news media will change shotguns and have a steady stream of firepower. . Regardless of other countries, at least in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, absolutely no one can gain the dominance of Jiuding Newspaper Company. "Well, this matter can be done slowly. We must not cause internal turbulence in the company. Stability is the prerequisite. This is very important! Yan Wenhan, you must supervise it!" Xia Yu said with a serious expression, his eyes swept across their faces, and finally looked at Yan Wenhan. After seeing Yan Wenhan nodding solemnly, Xia Yu was a little relieved. "Any other questions?" Xia Yu asked again. Sun Xin and others shook their heads. "Then end!" Xia Yu said, leaning on the chair to relax after speaking. ps: The name of the newspaper should be in line with the positioning characteristics of the newspaper, and one of them should be selected at that time. We look forward to your active participation. (These words are free) Chapter 150: Strap on the chariot Zhao Cheng and others stood up and planned to go outside. At this moment, Sun Xin''s eyes exchanged suddenly, their steps stopped, and they looked at Xia Yu with a tangled expression. "Sun Xin, just talk about what you have, don''t hesitate." Xia Yu just saw their eye contact and said with a frown. "Well, boss, is the Huizhong Fund of Jiuding Securities Company managed by you?" Sun Xin hesitated for a while, finally made up his mind, smirked and asked cautiously. And Zhao Cheng, Sun Changfa and others also pricked their ears, and looked at Xia Yu closely, very concerned about the answer. Xia Yu raised his brows, his eyes swept across their faces, showing a smile. Even though he only said this sentence, Xia Yu has already guessed what Sun Xin and others are thinking. But it seems that before the establishment of the company, Xia Yu promised them that if they performed well, he would lead them to invest in stocks, but after that time, there was no more text. Unexpectedly, Sun Xin and others mentioned it vaguely. Now that I have said this, and the performance of Sun Xin and others has indeed satisfied Xia Yu, he said with a smile: "Yes, although Huizhong Fund will be in charge of Ai Lewen, I will guide the investment and the income will be Not less." Hearing what Xia Yu said, the faces of Sun Xin and others showed joy. Sun Xin asked again carefully: "Then boss, we want to invest, don¡¯t know if it¡¯s possible?" "No problem, not only you, but other employees of the company, if they have this idea, they can also, uh... 50,000 Hong Kong dollars a share, you must have a hard time getting it out, since that''s the case..." Xia Yu said, frowning slightly and fell into Thinking. Sun Xin and others looked at Xia Yu tightly, waiting for the following. It is indeed difficult for them to come out with 50,000 Hong Kong dollars for each person. They can''t even enter the threshold, but the fund is launched by another company of the boss after all. As long as the boss speaks, the problem will naturally be solved. But letting the boss open the back door is breaking the rules after all, but if they miss this opportunity, they will not be reconciled, so despite the entanglement, they still muster the courage to ask. Not long after, Xia Yu''s brows stretched, apparently thinking of a way. Sun Xin and others who were always paying attention to Xia Yu''s expression immediately held their breath. Xia Yu smiled and said: "In this way, those of you who have money can apply for the purchase by yourself. I will tell Eleven that as long as you want to subscribe, there is no need to wait in line or draw lots, and directly subscribe internally for the first time." "Those who don¡¯t have enough money can accept joint venture financing. In order to ensure the safety of funds and the distribution of funds, and to avoid breaking the rules of Huizhong Fund, the company¡¯s name will be used to recognize and raise funds. The company¡¯s financial department will open a separate Account, everyone¡¯s money is put into the account, and the amount is registered, and then the income will be distributed according to the proportion of funds." "thank you boss!" "thank you boss!" Sun Xin and others were happy and thanked again and again. "Go, tell the other employees of the company, everything is voluntary, and you have to tell the people below that you have to do what you can, understand?" Xia Yu exhorted with a serious expression. "Understand!" Sun Xin and others said in unison. "Go!" After Sun Xin and others had left, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head. Opening a special channel for the employees of the newspaper company has no effect on the fund. After all, a unified account will be used to subscribe for the funds, and it will still be a share of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which will not break the rules. But Xia Yu walked around and removed the threshold of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is beneficial to employees. After all, most of the company''s employees cannot spend 50,000 Hong Kong dollars this year. Xia Yu allows the company''s employees to invest. In fact, there are still many benefits. The most obvious is that employees can be tied to the company''s carriage to increase their loyalty to the company. Investment returns, coupled with basic salary, their lives will definitely be better, Xia Yu''s prestige will also greatly increase, which will help him control Jiuding Newspaper Company. Of course, with benefits, naturally there are risks. If the investment fails, resulting in a loss of funds for the employees, this will have a blow to the enthusiasm of the employees and will have a great impact on the company. There will definitely be complaints at that time, and it will also be a big blow to Xia Yu¡¯s prestige. . However, this risk is very small in Xia Yu''s view. As long as he keeps the fund from losing money, this risk is completely non-existent, and he will only gain benefits and no harm. Will investment fail? Xia Yu, who has strong confidence in himself, said that it is impossible to fail! For at least these five years, it is impossible to lose money! If the risk is high after five years, Xia Yu can dissolve the fund early, he has a way to solve the problem. ¡­¡­ After Xia Yu''s words were heard from the ministers, Jiuding News Company was completely boiling, and Xia Yu could hear cheers from outside in the office. The employees of the company are so excited! In fact, after Jiuding Securities released the investment conditions of the fund yesterday afternoon, the employees of Jiuding News knew the first time. After all, they belonged to the same boss and the record was so dazzling. How could they not pay attention. It is a pity that the investment threshold of the fund is too high. The minimum requirement is HKD 50,000. Where can they get it? There are very few who can come up with ten thousand! They have strong confidence in the boss Xia Yu. They want to hold the boss''s thigh, but they are restricted by the conditions. Many employees are very unwilling, but there is no way. It¡¯s just that the boss didn¡¯t forget them and thought of such a way. How could they not get excited? How not to be excited? Many people immediately found out their old ways and went to the financial department, looking forward to making money with their boss. And this matter was also spread out through their mouths, which made other colleagues envy, and they wished to hop to Jiuding Newspaper Company and enjoy this kind of benefits! That''s right, in their opinion it is welfare! A stock **** can make money with it, can he lose money? At this moment How they hope their boss is also a stock god! Of course, some companies and individuals have also been inspired by it and plan to raise funds. It''s a pity that this operation is allowed, but the 1,000 shares released in advance are really limited. Ailewen must select more high-quality investors. If they want to get their turn, the chance is slim... ¡­¡­ In the next two days, Xia Yu ran on both sides of Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company, always paying attention to the situation of his two companies. Two days later, Huizhong Fund has completed the fund raising of 50 million Hong Kong dollars. This progress and the enthusiasm of the competition have greatly increased the confidence of Ai Lewen and others, looking forward to the arrival of the reception. Because half of the fund has been confirmed to be enough, many people have the funds but did not recognize the funds. They can only look forward to the recognition on the spot at the reception held by Jiuding Securities Company, or hope that they are dissatisfied with the financing at the reception, and then give the opportunity Let them. In the past two days, news that Jiuding Securities will hold a cocktail party has also spread. The invitations have begun to be sent out, and many people are looking forward to receiving them. Many people regard the invitation letter for the reception of the acquisition of Jiuding Securities as a status symbol. After all, most of those who are eligible to receive the invitation are considered by Jiuding Securities to invest more than one million Hong Kong dollars. Some third-rate tabloids specifically report on who has received the invitation. Whenever the boss of a giant or a large company receives an invitation, it will cause a sensation. Amidst the noise and anticipation of the outside world, time passed by quickly, and a week passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Jiuding Securities Company¡¯s reception. Chapter 151: The King of Gamblers As night fell, the Victoria Harbor was lit up with colorful and brilliant lights. 22 Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, a splendid hotel facing the Victoria Harbour, luxury cars are constantly parked in the plaza in front of the hotel, this hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong-Peninsula Hotel. Xia Yu has already greeted the guests at the reception. In addition to Xia Yu, all employees of Jiuding Securities, such as Wang Qi and Jin Jiajun, assisted at the venue and were also responsible for the on-site fund recognition and handling matters during the reception. With the continuous arrival of guests, even though the reception has not yet begun, the atmosphere on the scene has gradually become warmer. Some guests have nothing to do with them, so they consulted the employees of Jiuding Securities about the fund. As time passed, the arrival of guests became higher and higher, and Xia Yu had to receive him personally. Just when Xia Yu had just greeted the owner of a small wealthy family, Xia Yu, who was always paying attention to the gate, saw a figure and hurriedly greeted him. "Li Sheng, thank you for coming!" Xia Yu shook hands with the visitor warmly. The person here is no one else, but Li Chaoren, the chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings. "Xia Sheng, how can I miss a cocktail party with such a big opportunity!" Li Chaoren smiled and complimented. "Haha, too much praise, Li Sheng, please come inside!" Xia Yu said to himself, and then made a sign of please, and accompanied Li Chaoren to the inside. Along the way, most of the people in the venue focused on Xia Yu and Li Chaoren. The arrival of Superman Li was only the beginning of a climax, and then, a lot of big names from all walks of life arrived. "Sir Shao, it''s nice to meet you, please come inside!" It was TVB''s Yifu Shao who had been made Lord by the Queen of England last year. "Dong Sheng, thank you for coming, please come inside!" It was Dong Haoyun, the current owner of the Dong family of Xiangjiang, and one of the world¡¯s seven largest ship kings in later generations. He was known as the ¡°modern Zhenghe¡±. In Xiangjiang, the shipping industry Bao Yu, the leader of the world''s ship kings, is just a bit worse. "Zheng Sheng..." ¡­¡­ Shao Yifu, Dong Haoyun, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Zhao Congyan, Lin Baixin, Guo Desheng and other bigwigs were all present in person. Obviously, they paid a little attention to this reception. But it¡¯s normal to think about it. After all, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Newspaper Company has achieved the first place in the paper media industry, and its influence is amazing. Now there is a securities company like Jiuding Securities. Even if the strength is strong, Xia Yu is still very young. Youngness represents potential. With the level of enchantment Xia Yu has shown now, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not surpass them in the future. Therefore, they naturally value Xia Yu who is likely to reach their level. And this is the first time that the cocktail party is held. The protagonist is still the Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which is a big show in Xiangjiang, and its importance is beyond doubt. They not only want to use this reception to get to know Xia Yu first, but also want to invest in Xia Yu''s fund to make a little money and get closer to Xia Yu. Unknowingly, Xia Yu has grown to the point where they have to deal with each other. There is no way, mainly because of Xia Yu¡¯s control of public opinion. Although Xia Yu¡¯s assets cannot be compared with many of them, and his contacts are not comparable to them, Xia Yu¡¯s energy is not small. For example, in the real estate industry, even though Xia Yu does not have a real estate company and does not sell houses, if he offends him, Xia Yu can use public opinion to prevent their houses from selling! In terms of finance, Xia Yu has also shown strong abilities. Many of their companies have already gone public. If Xia Yu is offended and Xia Yu is targeted, it will not be unlucky. Therefore, people like Xia Yu who have no conflict of interest, but have the ability to cause harm to them, naturally have to try their best to get along well, and at least not to be guilty! As more and more people arrived, and those who came were the heads of the big families, Xia Yu''s mood was getting better and better, and the smile on his face was getting better and better. At this moment, Xia Yu saw a gentleman walking peacefully leading people in. He quickly apologized to the person next to him and greeted him quickly. "Sir Bao, Wu Sheng, welcome you to come here with a look!" Xia Yu enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two. The person here is no one else, but Bao Yugang, the richest man in Hong Kong Chinese, and his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. "Haha, Xia Sheng, congratulations! I have always heard that Xia Sheng is young and promising, but now I look at it, it''s really extraordinary!" Bao Yugang shook hands with Xia Yu, smiled heartily, giving Xia Yu a feeling of grandeur . "Xia Sheng, hello!" After Wu Guangzheng and Xia Yu greeted them, they returned to Bao Yugang with a smile. "Xia Sheng, we are going in first, you are busy, we will talk later!" A few words with Xia Yu, and seeing someone coming from behind, Bao Yugang said with a smile. After Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzheng left, the person who appeared again made Xia Yu''s face straightened. It turned out to be the old gambling king He Hongshen. The young man next to him looked a bit like him. Could it be his son? Seeing He Hongshen coming in soon, Xia Yu didn''t have time to think about it, and he greeted him with a smile. "Welcome to the king of gambling!" "Xia Sheng, hello!" He Hongshen smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu. "Hello!" Released his hand, Xia Yu once again shook hands with the young man next to He Hongshen and said hello. "Xia Sheng, let me introduce to you. This is Dog Zi Youguang." He Hongshen smiled when he saw Xia Yu didn''t know his son, and introduced him with a smile. Even though he was self-conceited, he said that Dog Zi, but his tone revealed satisfaction unconsciously. , Obviously he is very proud of his son. "You Guang, this is Xia Sheng, the helm of Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company. He is young and promising. Don''t look at his age, but in terms of ability and achievement, you can''t keep up with you. If you have time, please consult Xia Sheng. "He Hongshen kindly taught his son. He Youguang did not get angry because of his father''s depreciation, instead he nodded modestly and replied: "I will, father!" "Xia Sheng, it''s nice to meet you, your name can be described as thunderous, please give me some advice if I have the opportunity!" He Youguang stretched out his hand again with a gentle smile. Xia Yu shook his hand and said modestly: "It''s too much praise, it''s the right thing to talk and discuss with each other!" Xia Yu remembered that He Hongshen seemed to have an eldest son, and he was highly regarded as his successor. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident. The younger son was still young. For this reason, the gambling king had to train his daughter He Chaoqiong as a son. Fortunately, he was long enough to survive until the younger son He Youjun became an adult. For He Youguang, Xia Yu''s first impression is very good. He exudes a gentle and gentle temperament, it is hard to imagine that he is the son of the king of gambling. "The King of Gambling, He Sheng, please come inside!" Then, Xia Yu led them inside. Next, no one came again. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Yu prepared for a while and walked towards the stage. As Xia Yu stepped onto the stage, the venue immediately became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Xia Yu. "Dear guests, good evening everyone! I am Xia Yu, the president of Jiuding Securities, and I am deeply honored to welcome everyone here!" "First of all, on behalf of Jiuding Securities, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and warmest welcome to everyone for your visit Welcome everyone!" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu bowed deeply to the audience, and there was a burst of warm applause. "Papa Papa......" "¡­¡­" "Next, let me introduce the main person in charge of our company." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Wang Qi, Jin Jiajun and others who had been waiting on the side stood on the stage and stood beside Xia Yu. "This is Wang Qi, the general manager of our company, to assist me in handling the company''s affairs!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Wang Qi smiled and bowed slightly. "This is Jin Jiajun, the person in charge of the Huijin Fund!" "This is Ai Lewen, the person in charge of the Huizhong Fund!" "They will assist me in managing the two funds. You can contact them directly for specific matters in the future." ¡­¡­ "Well, if you want to recognize the fund, you can directly register with both of them later." "Now I announce that the reception has officially started, and I wish you all a good meal! Thank you!" After spending some time on the introduction, Xia Yu roughly reiterated the rules again, and then Xia Yu directly announced the start of the reception. Then, Xia Yu stepped off the stage, went to the food area, picked up a glass of wine and walked in one direction. After Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen stepped down, they were immediately surrounded by some of the nearest people. They immediately took people to the desk that had been prepared for a long time, and started the identification and registration work. As for some of the higher-ranking tycoons, they were not in a hurry to register for the credits, but talked and laughed with other people. Chapter 152: Raise 300 million! "Sir Bao, congratulations on your sitting on the throne of the world''s number one ship king. This move has greatly boosted my Chinese personality!" Xia Yu raised his glass and toasted Bao Yugang. "Haha, it''s too much praise, what the ship king is not the ship king, they are all criticized by the Americans, can''t be true! Can''t be true!" Bao Yugang waved his hand and smiled heartily. Then, he and Xia Yu touched a cup, drank a sip, looked at Xia Yu, and said with emotion: "Xia Sheng is still young and promising. He started from scratch in a short time and worked hard for such a big family business. Soon Can surpass my old man." "Haha, Sir, you have a good reputation. It''s all luck. I want to surpass you. I don''t know if I have this honor in my life!" Xia Yu said humbly, he didn''t dare to respond to Bao Yugang''s praise. When you should be humble, you still have to be humble, it''s always right. In fact, for Bao Yugang, although it is the first time to communicate, Xia Yu admires and respects in his heart. The deeds of Bao Yugang in his previous life are widely circulated on the Internet. After Xia Yu learned about it, he sincerely admired it. Real people have good feelings spontaneously. Bao Yugang, a native of Boning, Jiangsu and Zhejiang province, was found in 1994 as the 29th generation grandson of Bao Zheng, and also a Chinese ship king recommended by the world. At the beginning of 949, Bao Yugang came to Xiangjiang and set up a joint venture with a Chinese People''s Bank to engage in import trade and ship imported steel, cotton, medicines and other scarce materials for the mainland. Established Universal Co., Ltd. in 955 to operate coal transportation between India and island countries. In the following year, Egypt reclaimed the Suez Canal as a state-owned state. The freight rate soared, and the capital was abundant, so it bought new ships and expanded its business. Following the cooperation with Japan''s shipbuilding industry, financial industry, Hong Kong and HSBC Bank, etc., it gradually became known in the shipping industry. The fleet was expanded during the oil crisis of the Middle East war in 967. In 970, it was changed to Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd., and in 972, Global International Capital Co., Ltd. was established and served as chairman of the board of directors. And this year, his maritime kingdom has reached its peak, and he sits firmly on the top of the top ten ship kings in the world. Later, the United States and the two magazines called him the "ruler of the sea" and the "king of the sea." Not only that, he was also the first Chinese director to enter the British HSBC Bank. In his previous life, he made a strong acquisition of Wharf. He raised 200 million yuan in three days and reversed the situation strongly. It only took two hours to increase his shareholding to 49% and acquire Wharf in one fell swoop. This battle caused a sensation in the entire Xiangjiang River, raised the Chinese ambition, and hit the arrogance of the British consortium. Bao Yugang mobilized 200 million yuan between talking and laughing, and became a legend. After ¡¡¡¡, he even acquired Wheelock, one of the four British-owned foreign firms! In addition to his career, he also has a lot of honors. Not much else. Xia Yu called him knight Bao, because in 976 he was knighted by the Queen of England. Of course, what Xia Yu admires most is Bao Yugang¡¯s patriotism, vigorously supporting the construction of the motherland, and donating money and materials. Ningbo University was established by Bao Yugang with huge donations. In addition, his other There are many charitable actions, such as building hotels, libraries, schools, etc. for the imperial capital for free. It is a pity that Bao Yugang did not live a long life compared to Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji and others. He only lived to 99 years before he died. And because Bao Yugang had no children under his knees, he finally had to hand over his hard work to his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng, one of the ten largest consortiums in Hong Kong, and finally named Wu. In the eyes of outsiders, this has to be said to be a pity. . However, in Xia Yu¡¯s opinion, Bao Yugang did not misunderstand the wrong person. His son-in-law Wu Guang is indeed a very capable person, and he is not a white-eyed wolf. He is very fond of his wife and is considered the best for the Bao family. Good result. ¡­¡­ "Xia Sheng, your name is like a **** of stock, and I want to be blessed with you. I plan to raise ten shares, maybe?" Bao Yugang said with a smile, speaking very well, so that Xia Yu can listen. Very comfortable. "Thank you for your support, I will not let you down!" Xia Yu said solemnly. Although Bao Yugang did not say that it was the ten shares of that fund, Xia Yu knew that it was the Huijin Fund with a share of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the ten shares were 10 million Hong Kong dollars. This little money is worth more than 20 net worth. The billion Hong Kong dollar Bao Yugang is not that much. And Xia Yu also believes that he, a tycoon who stands at the top of Xiangjiang and controls various resources, has more opportunities to make big money. But now I still invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars. It is better to support Xia Yu than to invest. This kind of atmospheric behavior makes Xia Yu feel good about him. Feeling Xia Yu''s attitude, Bao Yugang was in a good mood, laughed, and said nonchalantly: "It should be me thanking you. It should be my honor to have a **** for helping me make money." Hearing Bao Yugang''s words, Xia Yu smiled wryly, did not argue any more, but just hugged his fists to show his gratitude. "Xia Sheng, you are busy first, and there are so many guests to take care of, don''t worry about me, next time I have time to come to my house, I can ask you for some advice." Then, Xia Yu walked towards the other bigwigs again. Xia Yu is the host, and out of etiquette, he must say hello to other bigwigs. After all, many people are stronger and better than him, and now they are here, and this is the first time Xia Yu and them have met. For communication, his courtesy must be in place. And with the help of this reception to get to know other bigwigs, Xia Yu had already planned to expand his network. The only pity is that no British came to this reception, but he was also mentally prepared. After all, Jiuding Securities had just slapped the British in the face, and no British hall accepted the invitation. At least, his courtesy is delivered, and he won''t offend anyone! Just as Xia Yu was socializing with other big guys, Jin Jiajun and Al Lewen were busy. As long as one person is registered, someone will immediately pick up and register for the chip. This heat makes them and the staff around them overjoyed. Soon, an employee found Xia Yu and reported to Xia Yu that the 100 shares of the Huijin Fund had been subscribed, and even the Huizhong Fund only had less than 10 million credits left. Soon It will be finished, but there are still people at the scene who want to recognize the money. Jin Jiajun hurriedly sent someone to ask Xia Yu what to do. Xia Yu did not hesitate and directly asked the staff to tell Jin Jiajun that the limit on the amount of the Huijin account was lifted, and the amount of the Huizhong account remained unchanged. The employees who received the order immediately reported to Jin Jiajun, and with permission, Jin Jiajun was once again surrounded by people. By the end of the reception, the Huizhong Fund¡¯s fundraising of 50 million Hong Kong dollars at the reception has been completed, plus the 50 million Hong Kong dollars previously raised, and the 100 million Hong Kong dollars capital quota has been completed. After the statistics of the Huijin Fund, it actually raised 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Originally, it raised 9.3 billion Hong Kong dollars later, but the last real estate tycoon Wang Dehui directly made up 7 million, bringing the amount to just two million. One hundred million Hong Kong dollars This fundraising reception was a complete success! Wait until tomorrow, the rich man who has accepted the fund will put the money into the fund account specially opened by Jiuding Securities Company. If it is not made within three days, it will be deemed to have given up the fund! However, Xia Yu estimated that no one would give up admitting the chips. No one would have done this kind of dishonesty behavior offending Xia Yu! By the next day, Jiuding Securities announced the fundraising status of the two funds, which immediately caused a sensation, and Jiuding Securities became more famous. The envy, jealousy and hatred in the hearts of many securities companies in the same industry. After all, a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars is a huge number. In the hands of Jiuding Securities, it can not only help Jiuding Securities make money, but also make Jiuding Securities. The strength of securities companies has greatly increased. With the original capital, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. can be said to be the top large securities company in the Xiangjiang row! Even Liu Tianci called Xia Yu to congratulate Xia Yu immediately. In addition to the fundraising situation of Jiuding Securities, last night¡¯s cocktail party was also exposed. Many tycoons personally showed up and directly mentioned the cocktail party¡¯s specifications to the top of Xiangjiang, which naturally aroused heated discussions among the citizens. Xia Yu''s status has also risen invisibly. When Xia Yu came to Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company the next day, he could feel that the attitude of the employees had changed a little, becoming a little more cautious, and respecting him more. ¡­¡­ Soon, all the funds were in place the next day, and the wealthy people who had subscribed for the fund also took away the equity certificates of the fund. The funds are in place, then the two funds should officially set sail! Chapter 153: Create powerful weapons In the office of Jiuding Securities Company, Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen respectfully waited for Xia Yu''s order, while Xia Yu looked at a piece of paper in his hand. On this piece of paper, there are the names and basic information of large companies on the Hong Kong stock market, which are calculated by Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen. This is what Xia Yu ordered them to do. After they have recorded them, Xia Yu will delineate some companies and guide them to make early investments to ensure that the fund can be profitable. After buying the stocks of these companies, the remaining part of the funds will allow them to invest freely and exercise their ability and vision. Xia Yu took a pen and sketched it on the paper from time to time. Jin Jiajun and Ailewen sitting below looked at Xia Yu indifferently, looking forward to which company the boss would choose, and to see if he would be with the boss. Of the same opinion. Soon, Xia Yu finished sketching. After putting down the pen, he pushed the paper to the other side of the table and said, "Okay, you can take a look. The company I selected to invest first means that the potential is good, and it can be In the companies I invested in, I also marked the order and bought them in order without raising the stock price." Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen nodded quickly, then took the piece of paper and looked at it. "HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, Henderson Land Development, Sun Hung Kai Properties, New World Development, Cheung Kong Holdings, China Gas, Swire Co., Ltd. A..." Jin Jiajun couldn''t help but mutter. If later generations of senior stock speculators see it, they can immediately react. These companies are all blue-chip stocks in Hong Kong stocks. What are blue chips? Blue Chips (BlueChips) refers to a stable cash dividend policy that has higher requirements for the company''s cash flow management. Generally, those company stocks with good operating performance and stable and high cash dividend payments are called "blue chip stocks." Blue chip stocks mostly refer to long-term stable growth, large, traditional industrial stocks and financial stocks. The term "blue chip" comes from western casinos. In western casinos, there are three colors of chips, of which blue chips are the most valuable. In the stock market, investors call the stocks of large companies that have an important dominant position in their industry, have excellent performance, are actively trading, and have good dividends as blue chip stocks. Blue chip stocks, well-managed stocks, stable profit-making ability, and company stocks that return shareholders year after year. This type of company has the ability to make profits in both the industry and the downturn, and has strong anti-risk capabilities. For investors, it is most suitable. These companies in the Xia Yu circle are all blue-chip companies that have been tested in history. Even if they are not now, they will be in the future. Among them, HSBC is Xia Yu''s most promising, so Xia Yu ranked first. The current market value of HSBC is only more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, but forty years later, the market value of HSBC has soared to more than one trillion Hong Kong dollars, which is more than a hundred times higher! If Xia Yu were not born again, I would never have thought that HSBC had such great potential! But now that I know it, of course I have to buy it. HSBC is very suitable for long-term investment! Can guarantee the profit of the fund! Moreover, holding the shares of HSBC can also get closer to HSBC, which is of great benefit to Jiuding Securities. After all, in the Hong Kong Financial Market, HSBC is the financial king, and the benefits of becoming a partner with it are naturally needless to say! Apart from HSBC, the best in HeungKong banking industry is Hang Seng Bank. Next are the big four real estate giants. Even if these big four reach the future generations, they will still stand at the pinnacle of Xiangjiang. You can never go wrong if you buy these. The remaining companies are not bad either, and the return on investment is absolutely high. As long as Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen invest according to the goals set by Xia Yu, there is absolutely no problem in making money, that is, the problem of earning more and less! "Ailewen, you go and let Wang Qi come over." Xia Yu ordered. "Boss, here I am!" Wang Qi said respectfully after coming in. "In this way, Wang Qi, Huijin No. 1 and Huizhong No. 1 Funds will start to invest in stocks. I have set investment goals at the moment, but this is not a long-term solution. To achieve a higher return on investment, it is necessary to select more high-quality stocks among them." "Hey, long-term plan, in the future, when investing in other stocks, you also need to analyze it yourself." "So this requires a special securities research institution, and you will be responsible for the establishment of a securities research institute. It must have a complete stock rating mechanism, which can not only guide our own investment, but also issue securities research reports to the outside world. ." Xia Yu thought for a while, then said. "Understood!" Wang Qi answered with a serious expression, while keeping the matter in mind. Not every securities company has a securities research institute, but as long as it is a large securities company, this department will definitely be established. This is a profitable business. It analyzes the value of securities and securities-related products or the factors that affect their market prices, and issues documents containing value analysis and investment rating opinions on specific securities and securities-related products. In addition to self-use, you can also sell reports to the outside world. Other companies or individuals need to pay to buy securities research reports. In addition, this business has made authority, which is also a weapon! Can deter the heroes! As long as stockholders and other institutions approve the securities research report issued by Jiuding Securities, when Xia Yu wants to go short or long that stock, he can issue a corresponding research report to affect the stock price! The higher the authority, the easier it is to affect the stock price! Before Xia Yu used the "Jiuding Daily" to stir up the wind and the rain, but he was vaguely warned by Zhou Rongchang, chairman of the board of directors of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, and Xia Yu had to converge. But now, Xia Yu has a securities company, and opening a securities research business is a formal operation. He can also affect the stock price again, but it''s just a little bit of criticism. The essence is still the same. At that time, if Xia Yu wants to short a stock again, he can first ask Jiuding Securities to issue a securities research report, lower the rating of that stock, and then let the "Jiuding Daily" reprint and spread the influence of public opinion. difference. With this method, the old hooligans on Wall Street in Xia Yu''s memory often did it, and in the previous life he used the Ten Channel when shorting China Enterprise. Xia Yu knows the effect very well, so he wanted to do the same in Xiangjiang! Although Zhou Rongchang would definitely know Xia Yu''s true purpose by then, he would never be caught by him again. He could only hold back when he was upset, and Xia Yu could still stir up the wind and rain. Therefore, Xia Yu has made up his mind to build this securities research institute. Whether he can make more money and make money more easily, UU reading depends on its authority! "Also, the 4.9% of Cheung Kong Holdings shares can be held temporarily, and will be delivered to the Huijin No. 1 Fund when there is a lack of funds." "Jin Jiajun, your Huijin No. 1 Fund¡¯s capital is twice that of the Huizhong No. 1 Fund. So when you come, you will take over the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings Group and make up 5%, and then announce to the public and obtain a board of directors of Cheung Kong Holdings Group Seat, understand?" Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi and Jin Jiajun and said. "Understand!" Jin Jiajun''s heart trembled, and he responded quickly. He didn''t expect that the company still had 4.9% of Cheung Kong Holdings'' stocks, which would require at least one-third of his capital, and these were actually controlled by Wang Qi. do not know. It seemed that Wang Qi should be in control of more funds than he did. This made Jin Jiajun, who had just received 200 million funds, a little inflated, calmed down instantly. "Go ahead, immediately carry out the assigned tasks." After Xia Yu sent out the three of Wang Qi, he opened the drawer and took out a red invitation. "A charity auction led by the Hong Kong Charity Federation?" "At Sotheby''s auction house in seven days?" "I don''t have a lot of money, and I can''t donate valuable things for charity auctions, so I can only pay." Looking at the above introduction, Xia Yu slowly said, his eyes flashed with thought. "Hehe, let''s go, just to see it too! Even though there are many memories of auctions in my mind, I have never participated in it myself, so I can get a taste of what the auctions feel like." "And, after all, I just made such a big show. Everyone knows that our company has made more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. If there is no blood this time, I really can''t stop some people." "It just so happens to take something back to decorate..." Chapter 154: Yan Shinings kung fu has a great background? ! Back home in the evening, Xia Yu returned to his room after eating. Opening the drawer and looking at the stack of notebooks inside, Xia Yu smiled wryly, took out a book from the top and placed it on the table. After opening it, it was densely packed like ants. Xia Yu stayed for a few seconds, feeling a little bit emotional: "I have already written it here without knowing it. It is estimated that it should be a million words. There are still 600,000 words left in "Xun Qin Ji". It can be finished in a month at most. Sigh of relief." "Writing as soon as there is still some time, please finish writing early and get free..." Now "Jiu Ding Daily" has collected many good martial arts novels, and the martial arts novels gathered because of Xia Yu''s "Xun Qin Ji" will naturally go to other serial martial arts novels after reading the daily serial "Xun Qin Ji". In the case of not bad quality, other martial arts novels naturally gathered a group of fans, which increased the stickiness of fans of martial arts novels to "Jiuding Daily". Similarly, the dependence of "Jiuding Daily" on Xia Yu''s "Xun Qin Ji" has gradually decreased. When this role gradually weakened, for Xia Yu, the importance of "Xun Qin Ji" also decreased a lot. At present, the one that can contribute the most profit is publishing, but even if the two volumes have now published more than 2.5 million copies, at most it will bring Xia Yu several million in profits. For Xia Yu, who has a net worth of over 100 million yuan, he naturally looks down on the money. Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive copying of "Xun Qin Ji", Xia Yu has various means to earn more money with this time. After weighing in his mind, Xia Yu naturally wanted to finish writing earlier. After the copy of "Xun Qin Ji", Xia Yu didn''t want to copy the book anymore, although Master Huang had other things such as "The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty" and "Fuyu". "Fan Yun" and other masterpieces, but thinking of the amount of work involved in copying books, Xia Yu somewhat wanted to retreat. But for the time being, Xia Yu hasn''t made up his mind completely. This has to be considered based on the specific circumstances behind. If there is a role like the need for a novel to do a strategic bonus at the beginning, he will naturally not hesitate to copy or copy. How to decide the details, let''s talk about it later! After sighing, Xia Yu once again turned to the place where it was previously closed, picked up the pen, and wrote again. "Shusha..." "Crack...crack...crack..." For a while, apart from the grasshopper call from outside the window, only the sound of the pen tip sliding on the paper and the slight beating of the watch pointer remained in the room. When a person concentrates on doing one thing, time always flies very fast, unknowingly, time reaches ten o''clock in the evening. "Ok¡­¡­" "Oh...hhh..." Xia Yu clenched his fists, stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and made a few bone collision sounds. "It''s getting late, take a bath and go to bed!" Xia Yu looked at the time and realized that it was already ten o''clock in the evening, he murmured. Then closed the notebook again and put it in the drawer, picked up the clothes and left the room. When Xia Yu passed by his younger brother Xia Ming''s room after taking a shower, he turned off the lights in the corridor, only to suddenly find the lights revealed from the cracks under the door of his younger brother''s room, and his brows were slightly frowned. "I haven''t slept so late? Isn''t it going to school tomorrow?" Thinking of this, Xia Yu directly opened the door of his brother''s room, pushed the door and walked in. As soon as I entered, I saw my younger brother panicked, as if hiding something. Seeing this, Xia Yu flashed a trace of doubt and walked over. "Brother!" Xia Ming stood up and called Xia Yu, but there was still some panic on his face. Xia Yu''s gaze swept across the table quickly, and suddenly frowned, because he found a corner exposed in a pile of books, the cover still has some color. He, who is in charge of Jiuding Newspaper Company, naturally recognized it at a glance. It was a magazine, but because it only showed a corner of the book, he couldn''t tell the specific magazine. But based on the color on the cover, and thinking about his brother''s panic, he decided that it would not be a good magazine. Seeing the look in his brother''s eyes, Xia Ming knew that he had been spotted by him. At this thought, his face became more panicked. Seeing that his brother was scared, Xia Yu stretched his brows and asked with a gentle smile: "Why don''t you sleep so late?" "Brother, I will go to bed right away!" Xia Ming replied quickly. "Have you finished the school assignments? Is there anything you don''t understand?" Xia Yu asked softly again. "After finishing it, I can understand all the knowledge taught in school, and I can do it all." Xia Ming replied. Seeing that his brother hadn''t delved into the magazine he had hidden, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid of his brother since he was a child, and his brother Xia Yu has a high prestige in his mind. But now even more so, when his brother created such a big business, he was called a tycoon outside and changed the life of the family. Everything made his brother Xia Yu''s impression of him as tall as a mountain, and he was very unconscious. Afraid of brother. In particular, in order to let him study hard, his brother specially transferred him to a good school, but now he has been discovered that he is playful and feels guilty in his heart. "Okay, go to bed early! Don''t doze off in class tomorrow!" Xia Yu warned. After speaking, Xia Yu walked out the door, as if he had forgotten what was just now. "Okay, brother, I''ll go to bed right away." Xia Ming nodded seriously. Seeing his brother walking out and closing the door, Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief and took out the hidden magazine. Although he was eager to read it again, he thought of the expectations of his brother and his parents, but his brother had noticed it just now, but did not expose him on the spot. This made him feel more guilty. "Hey¡­¡­" With a sigh, the struggling color in Xia Ming''s eyes disappeared. He put the magazine in the drawer, then lay on the bed and turned off the light to sleep. Xia Yu went outside, a thought flashed in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and returned to his room. No words for a night. The next morning, Xia Yu got up early to prepare for Tai Chi. At this time, Xia Yu heard a voice coming from outside, and he knew that Yan Shining should be practicing martial arts. Xia Yu went out and saw Yan Shining punching his fists, full of explosive power in every move. Xia Yu couldn''t help but admire it. It looked like real kung fu, the moves were fierce, and it was not like a show-like display. "Papa!" Xia Yu applauded. When he came out of Xia Yu, Yan Shining discovered it, but did not stop. Now that he heard Xia Yu''s applause, Yan Shining stood up, let out a long breath, showing a comfortable smile. "Boss, you are up!" Yan Shining strode over and said. "Yeah!" Xia Yu nodded and said. "By the way, Brother Yan, I saw you punching several times. I don''t know what boxing technique you have practiced?" Xia Yu asked curiously. "Boss, I practiced this is Bajiquan." Yan Shining replied directly without any concealment. Xia Yu raised his brows and said in surprise: "Bajiquan? No wonder it looks so tough." Bajiquan, Xia Yu has really learned about it on the Internet in his previous life. Many people have heard a sentence-Wen has Tai Chi to keep the world safe, and Wu has Ba Ji to set the universe! "Eight poles" means to exert strength up to far away in all directions. Its movements are simple and concise, violent and crisp, with vigorous movements. It originated in Qingyun County, Shandong Province, and was later passed down in Cangzhou, Hebei. It is a local boxing style. The founder is Qingyun Wu Zhong in the early Qing Dynasty. Qingyun Hou Zhuangke Village is the birthplace of Baji Boxing. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was famous in China for Huang Sihai, Li Shuwen and others. Among them, the Baji master Li Shuwen is even more famous, with the reputation of "Fighting without two fights and sharp gun Li Shuwen"! Unexpectedly, Yan Shining could practice Bajiquan. Seeing that he was able to fight like this before, his practice was definitely not bad, but he didn''t know how deep it was. "Brother Yan, how good do you practice Bajiquan? Is it comparable to Li Shuwen in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?" Xia Yu asked unexpectedly. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Yan Shining looked straight and waved his hand quickly and said, "Boss, I am definitely not as good as the ancestor. I am too far behind him. If I can reach half of him in this life, I will be satisfied." "Master Patriarch? Li Shuwen the sharp spear is your Master Patriarch?" Xia Yu stared slightly, a little surprised. Because of Bajiquan, Xia Yu thought of Li Shuwen. He didn''t expect to mention it now, and he was a little surprised to learn about the relationship between Yan Shining and Li Shuwen. "Yeah! My father is a direct disciple of Grand Master Grand Master. Grand Master is very enlightened. After that, my father gave me Baji Quan again." Yan Shining stood upright and replied solemnly. "Unexpectedly, there is such a relationship, haha! It seems that you have learned the truth, not bad!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing Xia Yu''s admiration, Yan Shining also smiled. He hesitated for a while and asked: "Boss, the Bajiquan I learn actually also has breathing methods. Would you like to teach it to you?" Xia Yu hadn''t asked about this before, so he didn''t take the initiative to mention it, but now that Xia Yu wants to learn martial arts, Yan Shining has no plans to hide it, and actively said to teach Xia Yu. Although things like this should not be spread as much as possible, the boss is too kind to him after all, so he is willing. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn''t expect that the Bajiquan Yan Shining learned also had a matching breathing method, which surprised him. But after thinking about it, Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said, ¡°No, I¡¯ll just learn one. Let¡¯s learn Taijiquan first. I heard that Bajiquan is good at fighting and Taijiquan is good for health. I can just practice Taijiquan. I can''t use Bajiquan, it''s unnecessary." Hearing what Xia Yu saidYan Shining nodded silently without saying more. In fact, this is also Xia Yu''s true thoughts. He has only one purpose of practicing this method, which is to replenish qi and maintain health. With limited energy, he already has Taijiquan for what he can do with Bajiquan. Although it seems that Bajiquan is better at fighting, according to Li Chunqiu''s performance, this Taijiquan does not seem to be bad. And just as Xia Yu said, he would not rush to the forefront by himself, and learning Bajiquan was useless. With Yan Shining to protect him and other bodyguards, his safety was enough. If it comes to the time when he needs to face it alone, it means that Yan Shining has also fallen. It is a real danger. Xia Yu doesn''t believe that he can learn better than Yan Shining, then it will definitely not help. . So it doesn''t matter whether you learn or not. "Brother Yan, it''s still early, if you hit your boxing, I will practice Tai Chi too." After speaking, Xia Yu put up his hand pose for himself, thinking about the essence of breathing, and began to play Tai Chi. Chapter 155: Want to invade the island country As Xia Yu and Yan Shining punched each other, time continued to pass, and the sky became brighter and brighter. During the period, Xia Yu''s parents also got up and saw Xia Yu and Yan Shining punching. They watched for a few minutes, but they couldn''t see anything. Then they went to make breakfast. After that, the three children, Yan Hong, Xia Ming, and Xia Xiaomei, also got up one after another, and the house slowly became lively. After breakfast, the three children carried their schoolbags and were just about to go out to take the bus to class. Xia Yu, who was still chewing slowly, put down his food and said, "Wait a minute." The three of Xia Ming stopped and turned their heads to look at Xia Yu together, wondering what he wanted to say. "Big Brother Yan, I will go to the company later today. You can drive them there." Xia Yu said to Yan Shining, who was resting on the sofa after breakfast. "Oye, have a car!" Xia Ming cheered with a happy smile, and Xia Xiaomei and Yan Hong also showed happy smiles. "Let''s go!" Seeing the children''s innocent smiles, Yan Shining couldn''t help smiling, stood up and said to them, and walked outside after speaking. "Mum and Dad, brother, goodbye!" "Goodbye!" ... Seeing Xia Ming and the others go out, they heard the sound of the engine starting soon, and then the sound got farther and farther. Xia Yu thought to himself: "It seems that Aming and the others like to ride in a car, but they haven''t told me before, and I haven''t found out. Then buy another car. By the way, hire a full-time driver to pick up Aming. They, it¡¯s safer to do so, and at the same time they can send their parents out for shopping, so that the province stays at home and feels bored." After thinking about it, Xia Yu has decided to solve this matter in two days. After breakfast, Xia Yu wiped his mouth and went upstairs. Passing by his younger brother Xia Ming''s room again, seeing that his door was not closed, Xia Yu thought of his brother''s abnormality last night, he hesitated for a while, and stepped into his younger brother''s room. When he came to the desk, Xia Yu first looked at the books on the desk. He flipped through the pages. After seeing the more detailed notes on the books, he silently nodded and closed the book, with a smile on his mouth. "It seems that Amin is still serious in studying!" "It''s just that there seems to be a bad sign now. Since I have discovered it, I can''t ignore it as a brother." Xia Yu thought, and opened the drawer of his brother''s desk again, and a magazine appeared in front of him. Xia Yu picked it up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the picture and name on the cover. "It turned out to be the "Bruce Lee" comic, and it''s still so new, it''s probably not a few days after I bought it, it''s okay..." Xia Yu murmured. Then, Xia Yu sat on the stool and opened the cartoon to browse. Just as his fingertips kept flipping through the comics, Xia Yu''s brows slowly frowned until he quickly flipped through the entire comic. Xia Yu placed the comics on the table, his knuckles hit the table, and fell into thinking. in. "Humhhhhh..." "Gangs, violence, blood..." "This comic is not suitable for Amin. He is only fourteen years old and is at the age of shaping the Three Views. It is easy to learn badly when he reads it. "It''s just that children always like to play, and necessary entertainment activities and hobbies are indispensable, but the current Xiangjiang doesn''t seem to be much entertainment for children, and it is not very good..." "I haven''t seen any good cartoons on TV. It''s okay for Amin to relax while watching the cartoons. Just watching this kind of violent and **** cartoons is not good." Xia Yu thought silently, touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Manga is one of the most upstream sources of the cultural industry chain. The benefits involved in the entire industry chain are still great, and the entertainment industry is not only profitable, but the past pan-entertainment industry chain can be seen, and the animation industry is still an island country. One of the pillar industries; and it can also export culture, which has a great effect." "And in this era, it seems that many famous cartoons in later generations have not yet appeared, especially those in island countries. I don''t know how many people have been affected. If you bring these over..." "Hey!" Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing sinisterly. China¡¯s comics industry in the previous life was shattered by the impact of the island country. In the 21st century Internet era, coupled with the outbreak of China¡¯s capital, the animation industry has only improved with the support of giants, but the island country¡¯s animation is still popular in China. Plundering people¡¯s wealth. If you copy those comics with huge influence on the island, such as "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Slam Dunk", "Detective Conan", "Pokemon" ("Pokemon"), "Gossman", etc. Become your own, and then invade the island country comics in turn, that scene is cool to think about. The small island nation invaded China during the Anti-Japanese War and used China''s resources to make guns and artillery, and then continued to invade China, causing such a large amount of trauma to the Chinese nation. In his previous life, Xia Yu saw small island nations visit the Yasukuni Shrine and revised the textbooks to deny the Jinling Massacre. Every time he saw these news, he was furious. But now that there is a possibility of commercial invading the island country, Xia Yu will naturally not give up this opportunity, and how can he take back some of the original. In the future, Xia Yu will definitely invade the island country from other industries, but the timing is unclear. Now the only thing that comes to mind and is somewhat clear is the comics industry. Xia Yu will never give up such a good opportunity. "I just don''t know, without these awesome comics, will the industry backbone of the island country be hit hard?" "If you can control the island nation''s animation industry, that would be great!" "Things are artificial, we must try hard!" "But now we still start with the Hong Kong comics market. If we want to invade the island country, we must first have a foundation!" "Wait, the company will arrange for someone to investigate the current Xiangjiang comic industry and market, and then collect the island country comics, and then make arrangements for the specific situation! That''s it!" After making up his mind, Xia Yu was in a very good mood. He was a little expecting that the island animation industry would be rubbed by him on the ground, but the scene where he wanted to continuously generate income for him appeared. "As for this "Bruce Lee" comic? Confiscated first, and then a comic that is suitable for his age will be returned to Amin." Looking at the comics on the desktop, Xia Yu thought. Then, he picked up the comic magazine and went out of the room to his room. It didn''t take long for Yan Shining to send the three of Xia Ming back. "Go, Brother Yan, go to Jiuding Newspaper Company." Xia Yu got on the car and told Yan Shining. Soon Xia Yu came to the company and called Yan Wenhan in. "Wenhan, you arrange a manpower to investigate the specific situation of the Xiangjiang animation market. Make a report and give it to me." "At the same time, I will send someone to investigate the general situation of the animation industry in the island country. I have only one request. I must register the comics that are serialized in major comic magazines and the basic information of those comic magazines, such as scale, sales volume, etc. Check it out clearly, don¡¯t make any omissions, understand?" Xia Yu sat on the boss chair, slightly raised his head to look at Yan Wenhan, and ordered. Yan Wenhan looked straight and nodded respectfully and said: "Understood! I will make arrangements right away!" "Go ahead!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand. Out of the boss Xia Yu¡¯s office, Yan Wenhan¡¯s eyes flashed a little thought, and he thought to himself: ¡°It seems that the boss is focusing on the animation industry. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t understand the situation. Is this a big market? It seems that I have to understand. After a while, maybe there will be an additional subsidiary..." Chapter 156: There is no dragon slaying technique, but no dragon slaying knife After returning home from school at noon, Xia Ming found out that his cartoon was missing, and he immediately realized that his brother had taken it. Uneasy, he lowered his head and pursed his lips when he saw his brother Xia Yu''s return. He confessed his mistake: "Brother, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t read cartoons. He also took the money you gave me to buy cartoons. I know I was wrong. ." "But I promise, I just watched it at home and didn''t take it to school. It didn''t affect my studies." Seeing Xia Mingsheng''s fear of him being angry, Xia Yu smiled, patted his shoulder and said: "It''s okay, it doesn''t matter if you read comics, people are not machines, you study hard when you study, and you can play when you need to play. " "But, your comic is a bit **** and violent, it''s not suitable for you to read, so I took it away for you." Xia Ming nodded silently, without refuting. "Do you like reading comics?" Xia Yu asked, looking up at Xia Ming, staring at him closely. Xia Ming saw his brother Xia Yu¡¯s serious expression, hesitated for a while, nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t have much to play when I come home from school every day, and I don¡¯t see much on TV. They are all TV dramas watched by adults. The comics are interesting." Xia Yu saw that his brother hadn''t lied, he showed a gentle smile and said, "Don''t watch this time. You just went to a new school. You must keep up with the progress and study hard." "Oh, okay." Xia Ming replied with a sad expression, feeling a little disappointed. He thought that his brother would return the manga to him. It seemed that he was thinking too much. "Don''t be sad, I didn''t say that you would not be allowed to read comics, but that it was not suitable for reading this kind of comics. Now I have received one from you, and I will give you one that is suitable for you to read." Seeing the loss of his younger brother, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. It was indeed a child''s disposition, and what he thought was completely revealed on his face. But he didn''t want to make his brother too sad, so he smiled and comforted. "Really?" Unexpectedly, Xia Ming suddenly raised his head, blinking and looking at Xia Yu longingly and asked. "Really! When did I lie to you?" Xia Yu immediately nodded and said. "Yeah! Thank you, brother!" Xia Ming happily gestured and said, with a smile on his face. "Aming, Ayu, what is so happy about?" Mother Chen Mei, who was clearing the table, heard the sound and turned to look at the two brothers Xia Yu and Xia Ming, and asked curiously. "It''s nothing, it''s nothing." Xia Ming answered quickly, for fear that his brother would tell his secret. "Really?" Chen Mei asked suspiciously, looking suspiciously on Xia Ming''s face. "Mom, it''s okay." Seeing his younger brother''s nervousness, Xia Yu laughed dumbly and said to his mother Chen Mei. There is no need to let the mother know about this kind of thing, so she thinks about it and complicates what has been solved. Hearing what Xia Yu said, Chen Mei relaxed and lowered her head again to wipe the table. Seeing Xia Ming''s relief, Xia Yu smiled and said nothing. ... In the next few days, Xia Yu ran back and forth between the securities company and the newspaper company, grasping the company''s specific context in real time. In Jiuding Securities Co., because Wang Qi is in charge of a single fund task, he only needs to secretly purchase the shares in Wharf, so it is relatively easy. At other times, he started to establish a securities research institute and began to contact relevant talents. The two teams of Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen have taken formal action and have begun to buy shares of the company designated by Xia Yu, and have achieved some results in a few days. The company is on the right track and has competent subordinates to work. Xia Yu is much easier, as long as he is responsible for controlling the general direction and making no mistakes. Later, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Newspaper Company. After a few days, the people arranged by Yan Wenhan also made statistics on the situation of the Xiangjiang comic market. After all, Xiangjiang is relatively small and the market is so big, so it is relatively better to count. The other part of the personnel sent to the island countries has not made much progress, and it will take some time to submit statistics. However, Xia Yu is not in a hurry. After all, if he wants to invade the island country¡¯s animation market, he must first rule the Xiangjiang comic industry before he can enter the island country market with confidence. Now that we have the survey statistics of the Xiangjiang Comic Market, it is enough for the time being! Xia Yu sat in the office, took out the thick pile of statistical documents, and began to look through it. After reading it, Xia Yu had a general understanding of the Xiangjiang comics industry. The current Xiangjiang comics industry can be said to be a two-part world, ruled by Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang, and there is almost no soil for other people to survive. The two of them are the two landmark representatives of the Xiangjiang comics industry. Among them, Shangguan Xiaobao was formerly known as Kwong Dongyuan. He first served as an apprentice in painting and painting at the Huaxia Publishing House where his brother Shangguan Xiaolong was the chief writer, and then he was promoted to a realist. In 1963, when he was 17 years old, he first served as the chief writer in the "Daily Comic" newspaper, writing four-frame comics. In the early 1970s, he teamed up with three friends to form Shenghuo Publishing House and published two-centre (32-format) comics. The first personal work was "Black and White Little Devil". Later, he painted under the pseudonym "Shangguan Siwei" as a happy place. The theme of "Little Girl" has a wonderful response and is well-known in **** and soft SQ comics. In the 1970s, Bruce Lee''s kung fu became popular throughout Southeast Asia. Shangguan Xiaobao made a very sensational and exciting martial arts masterpiece-"Bruce Lee", and then became popular throughout Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. So far, every issue of "Bruce Lee" "Manga can sell for 100,000 copies. In addition to comics, Shangguan Xiaobao¡¯s Shenghuo Publishing House also owns the newspaper "Happy News" that contains comics. And Huang Yulang is even more powerful than Shangguan Xiaobao. When Bruce Lee Kung Fu was hot, Huang Yulang also published a martial arts comic book-"Little Rogue", but because it was too **** and violent, it was renamed "Dragon Tiger Gate" in 1975 due to the policy of the Hong Kong government. And greatly reduced the **** and violent picture. In 1974, the average sales per issue of "Little Mobster" had exceeded the 100,000 mark, which was faster than Shangguan Xiaobao''s "Bruce Lee". Since then, Xiangjiang Comics has entered sales per issue. The era of one hundred thousand books. And now, Huang Yulang''s "Dragon Tiger Gate" is still pressing on the side of Shangguan Xiaobao''s "Bruce Dragon". In addition to this comic, Huang Yulang also established the Yulang Book Company himself and founded the comic daily newspaper "Sheng Bao". The daily sales of "Sheng Bao" reached 50,000 copies. He is also a figure in the newspaper industry. As for what Xia Yu does not have statistics, it is that Huang Yulang took Shangguan Xiaobao back under his sect and established Yulang International Company, which completed the unification of the Xiangjiang comics industry. Unfortunately, he was later imprisoned. Therefore, if Xia Yu wants to enter Xiangjiang''s comics industry, he must first face these two characters, and he only needs to face these two characters. Because under the dazzling aura of Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang, everyone else was eclipsed and couldn''t make it out. This has to be said about the current issue of Xiangjiang''s manga talent training, which is also a problem Xia Yu has to face to enter this industry. Talents are inseparable from any industry, but Xia Yu is difficult for talents! Because at this time in Hong Kong, the manga industry talent training is still apprenticeship, and there are no special training schools and institutions, and it has not entered the era of industrialization of the manga industry like the island countries. So now the talents of Xiangjiang Comics are too scarce! And even in this rare and poor talent Now most of Xiangjiang''s more famous comic talents are almost concentrated in Shangguan Xiaobao''s Shenghuo Publishing House and Huang Yulang''s Yulang Book Company. My apprentice, Xia Yu wants to dig, it is too difficult! And there are few comic talents exposed! If you don¡¯t have a manga talent, you want to enter the manga industry. Even if Xia Yu has a lot of precious wealth in his mind, someone must help him realize it! But now... "I have no dragon slaying technique, but no dragon slaying sword!" "Oh, that''s not right, it''s not that there is no dragon slaying knife, but that even the iron and blacksmiths who make the dragon slaying knife are hard to find..." Looking down at the statistics table again, Xia Yu shook his head and muttered to himself with a wry smile. Chapter 157: Give up the idea of ??acquisition New ¢àOne Chinese Network ¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z¦Ø.c¨°§Þ GengXin¿–Quick Pure Word Network ¤ÕËµÍø "Am I going to buy Shangguan Xiaobao''s Shenghuo Publishing House or Huang Yulang''s company?" An idea came to Xia Yu''s mind. As long as he successfully acquired a family, there would be talents. At that time, with Xia Yu''s guidance, he would definitely be able to sweep the comics with huge influence. "It''s just... the style of Hong Kong Comics is completely different from that of Riman Comics. They have already been finalized, and they may not be drawn. No matter how good the subject matter is, the style will not be able to be expressed. street." Xia Yu frowned slightly, and thought anxiously that in reality it is very likely that the situation he imagined would happen. Although Xiangjiang is closer to the island country than Europe, don¡¯t forget that Xiangjiang is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, and its culture has been heavily influenced by the United Kingdom and even Europe. Comic style is one of them. Xiangjiang comics are different from island comics. The style of comics is mainly European style and ink and wash. The content and character setting are influenced by the martial arts concept in the Chinese cultural tradition. The plot is twists and turns and the theme is wide. Most of the works are commercial. Strong, current themes mainly focus on gangsters, passion, inspiration, society and science fiction. The difference between this and Riman is extremely different, and it is very likely that Xia Yu cannot produce the effect Xia Yu wants. Xia Yu has not forgotten that when he entered the comics industry, his goal at the beginning was to attack the island country¡¯s comics industry and use the island country¡¯s comics to make money in the island country. If you draw cartoons such as Dragon Ball and One Piece in Xiangjiang¡¯s current comic style, you don¡¯t know if you are bashing in Xiangjiang, but in island countries, the risk of bashing increases geometrically, and Xia Yu has no bottom. After all, this involves the audience''s ability to accept style, and islanders may not be able to accept it. There is a big difference between European style and Japanese style! Xia Yu frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously. This was his natural movement when thinking about problems. "It seems that the acquisition of Shenghuo Publishing House or Yulang Book Company may have little effect, and they may not necessarily sell, even if they do, the price is not low." "I only need talents. Their company value must be included in the channel, but the reality is that my channel can completely crush them!" "And the most important thing is the positioning of the comics company. Even if they acquire their company, then Bruce Lee and Long Humen will definitely take over. This is difficult..." Xia Yu frowned slightly, thinking with a headache. In fact, to be honest, the two major comics, Bruce Lee and Dragon Tiger Gate, are indeed very influential, but Xia Yu feels a little bit resistant to this kind of comics, thinking it will be harmful to the growth of young people, and he disdains to make money like this. Because of this concept, he confiscated the comics of his younger brother Xia Ming. In his view, cultural dissemination should be the dissemination of something positive and positive. This is the bottom line that cultural creators should have. Although all kinds of markets exist, if you can make money more decently and still get a good reputation, why bother to blame it? Just like movies, although the Young and Dangerous movie series are classics, how many young people have been affected by it to commit crimes after it was broadcast? In the village where Xia Yu lived in the previous life, many people dropped out of school and became gangsters, which affected many families. His cousin was one of them and hurt his cousin''s family. So after seeing this information, he was reluctant to buy Shenghuo Publishing House and Yulang International Book Company, not only because of the low success rate and little effect, but also because he was not good at dealing with Bruce Lee and Dragon Tiger Gate. If you want to deal with it, then the original team will never agree, this is a dead knot, Xia Yu will definitely lose a lot. And if you don¡¯t deal with it, it will affect the company¡¯s future cultural positioning, which Xia Yu doesn¡¯t want. "If this is the case, please trouble me. I really don''t believe that I can''t recruit people. If Xiangjiang can''t recruit people, I will go to the island country to recruit. There must be many talents there, and I can draw the effect I want." "The people from the island country serve me, drawing the comics that I stolen that originally belonged to the island country, and then earning money from the island people. They don¡¯t know yet, maybe they will worship my company in the future. This picture is interesting to think about. !" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved, and he thought to himself, thinking of this scene, he felt a little refreshed. "Moreover, it happens that the island country¡¯s comics industry is now at the top level in the world. There are many things worth learning. It is a good thing for me to learn the good things from the island country¡¯s comics and industrialize the Xiangjiang comics industry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not ashamed to learn from the people of the island nation. Wei Yuan once said in the Haiguotuzhi that we should learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians. When lagging behind, you must be humble when you are humble, as long as you have aspirations and transcendence. What''s the problem with your head down temporarily?" "As for Shenghuo Publishing House and Yulang Book Company, just keep it. Without some rivals, wouldn''t it be boring?" "And with their comparison, as a negative textbook, it might be more conducive to the promotion and sales of my comics!" Indeed, as Xia Yu thought, in Xiangjiang nowadays, citizens have a very bad view of comics. Almost no parents would be willing to buy comics for their children. They bought them secretly. Bruce Lee and Dragon Tiger Gate have such high sales. Many of them are contributed by punks and unscrupulous students. In the minds of the Hong Kong citizens, comics are a collection of blood, violence, sq, etc. They are completely unsuitable for children. It is precisely because of this concept that the market for the comic industry in Hong Kong is not large. So far, including the Taiwan Province and Southeast Asian markets, a market of at least five or six billion people, there are only two comics with sales of more than 100,000 copies. this. However, compared to island countries, with a population of just over 100 million, there are at least 10 comic magazines with sales of one million copies ~ www.novelhall.com ~ among them, the sales volume of each issue reaches 7 or 8 million. Comparing the two, the gap is not big! In spite of the economic gap, we have to admit that the development of the comic industry in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia is not enough, in other words, the potential is huge. If Xia Yu can develop it, he will definitely make a lot of money. As long as people''s bias towards comics can be reversed, the comics industry can definitely grow explosively. "I want to let parents and children know that comics are not only things that make people learn bad, they can also give children positive energy, allowing them to shape a good outlook on life in entertainment, passion, friendship, dreams, hard work, persistence... ¡­" "Let parents change from talking about comics to taking the initiative to buy comics for their children. At that time, there is no market for them? Why can''t they make money?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, muttering to himself. Thinking of this, Xia Yu''s heart is completely bright. The specific path is like this. First recruit people in Xiangjiang, recruit people who are capable, and recruit those who are not capable as apprentices, and then go to island countries to recruit people and recruit training at the same time. The teacher came over, starting from the island people as the mainstay, and later trained his own talents to replace the island people, and finally realized the rise of the Xiangjiang comics industry. As for comic magazines, Xia Yu also had an idea. The best thing the mainland did in the past was the friend Manke. Meng Huan sharply burned the reputation of the four major magazines. Even people like Xia Yu who do not read comics have heard of it. Therefore, the name and positioning of Zhiyin Manke can be used for reference and can solve many of Xia Yu''s troubles. As for the future generations of the Zhiyin Media Group, Xia Yu can only say I am sorry, and hope they can succeed again in the future. ‡�¢à¢ÅChinese website m.¦Ö¢ì¢åz¦Ø.c¦¨§Þ more salary àÜ¿ì¤Î�¿×Ö¤ÕËµÍø} Chapter 158: 9 Ding Culture Media Group New ¢àOne Chinese Network ¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z¦Ø.c¨°§Þ GengXin¿–Quick Pure Word Network ¤ÕËµÍø "Boss, are you looking for me?" Yan Wenhan asked respectfully, wondering if the boss had any plans after reading the statistics sheet submitted. "Sit down first, don''t stand!" Xia Yu gestured to the sofa and said. "Thank you, boss!" Yan Wenhan sat on the sofa after speaking, then looked at Xia Yu tightly, waiting for the order. "Wenhan, I thought for a moment. As our company''s business types increase, we are now ready to enter the comics industry. If it is also managed in Jiuding Newspaper Company, it will easily cause confusion and is not conducive to the development of the company''s business. So I plan to first Spin off some businesses and let them set up separate branches, so you should remember now and send someone to register several companies later." Xia Yu thought with eyebrows. The comics industry that is going to enter is very different from the paper media. If it is really put into the company, it is really difficult to manage. It is better to set up a separate subsidiary for vertical management with clear barriers. In addition, some businesses of Jiuding Newspaper Company can have greater potential, but the premise is to spin off and arrange for professional talents to control it, so that it can develop at a high speed. "Boss, please tell me!" Yan Wenhan looked straight and respectfully said, and at the same time took out his notebook and pen to record. "First, register a Jiuding Cultural Media Group as the holding parent company. The parent company''s equity will be offshored for me to show that I own 10 equity." Xia Yu slowly said. Before the establishment of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Xia Yu¡¯s strength was still very weak, and he had no ability or the money to hide the company¡¯s equity offshore. The wire has been registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and it is revealed that Xia Yu owns it. 100 shares of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Before the weak hours, it was fine, but now Jiuding Newspaper Company has achieved the first place in newspapers and magazines, and the book publishing business has been successfully developed because of the search for Qin Ji. Therefore, the current Jiuding Newspaper Company is actually a large company. Although not listed, Xia Yu already had an approximate valuation for Jiuding News. According to the current trend, even if it does not continue to grow rapidly, Jiuding Newspaper¡¯s annual operating income should be more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if it is given a low price-earnings ratio of five times, it has a valuation of five hundred million Hong Kong dollars. Entered the top 100 Xiangjiang enterprises. It has not been included in the list now. One is because the people in the Economic Research Office subconsciously ignored the problem during the statistics. Another very important reason is that Jiuding Newspaper has been established in a relatively short time, except for the first 100 Except for the announcement of 10,000 advertising revenues, no subsequent announcements have been made, so the outside world does not know the specific income of Jiuding Newspaper Company. But as time goes by, even if Xia Yu doesn''t announce the financial report, he can still be guessed by his peers. By then, Jiuding News will not be able to make the list. And it¡¯s good for Jiuding Newspaper to be on the list earlier, and it¡¯s not a problem to keep on dragging. If Jiuding Newspaper Company was on the list at that time, Xia Yu would definitely have to give a fair valuation, so as to maintain the authority of the corporate rankings, and it could no longer be suppressed. However, Xia Yu owns 100% of the equity. As soon as it is announced that, in addition to Jiuding Newspaper being able to be on the corporate rankings, he himself will directly rush to the rich list. Together with Jiuding Securities, his net worth is estimated at 600 million yuan. The sensation was huge. Although Xia Yu''s personal reputation will be better, but troubles will follow. There is an old saying in ancient times that money is not revealed. Of course, Xia Yu is very clear about this. Therefore, he must hide his wealth as soon as possible, and must blind most of the people. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has already done the disposal of equity concealment, and now it is far from Jiuding Newspaper Company that has not done it! As for the upper-class people, it must be concealed. After all, let alone the boss, everyone is similar. People of the same class will consciously maintain this unspoken rule, which is a bit similar to the strategy of fooling the people. As for how outsiders gossip, as long as Xia Yu doesn''t admit it, let them guess! It is enough to let most people know the reputation of the company, and that the reputation of the individual is spread in the upper class. The upper echelons do not value personal wealth even more, but value the resources they can control. Just like Jack Ma, he only owns about one-fifteenth of the equity, and his wealth is only a very imaginary market value. In addition to secretly, there are many people who are richer than him. But because he can control Alibaba, his energy is amazing, and he is qualified to be a guest of presidents of various countries. It''s a pity that after all, his background is too shallow, and the timing of his rise is too late. When he wakes up, he is involuntary and completely lost the possibility of transformation. He has to learn from Fan Li and Wei Xiaobao. Having said that, since ancient times, after all, the people who control social resources have always been at the top of the pyramid. They are absolutely qualified and able to know Xia Yu''s energy, as long as they recognize Xia Yu! Therefore, the concealment of equity is very beneficial to Xia Yu, and it can also avoid tax by the way! But there are few disadvantages. How could Xia Yu not do it? When Yan Wenhan finished recording, Xia Yu nodded slightly and said again: "Jiuding Newspaper Company is the first subsidiary of the newly established Cultural Media Group." "Split the publishing business from Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. and set up Jiuding Book Publishing Company. Find a headhunter to dig a professional to enter the book publishing industry. Because of the search for Qin Ji, UU Kanshu has the foundation for this business. , Plus the distribution channels are all over Southeast Asia, it would be too wasteful to not use it!" "The third one is Jiuding News Agency, which is also a separate subsidiary. It has independence after being stripped and is more suitable for the development of external business." "The fourth is the upcoming comic industry, registering a Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he fell into thinking again. Yan Wenhan finished recording and saw Xia Yu thinking, so he didn''t dare to bother, quietly waiting for the boss Xia Yu to finish thinking. After a while, Xia Yu''s brows stretched out. He plans to register some companies in industries that he has not yet entered, but will enter in the future, so as to save the trouble of later management. Otherwise, in the future, suddenly like the current comics industry, you have to wait for the company to register when you want to enter. One is troublesome, and the other will affect the company''s positioning. In this case, Xia Yu simply made a long-term plan. The detailed plan is definitely too late, but you can register the corresponding company first, take the pit first, and then consciously look for opportunities to enter the corresponding industry. , There are many benefits. Just like the outline, once the outline is listed, there is no need to worry about deviation! "The cultural media industry has a very large market and involves many industries. We will definitely enter in the future, so we will register some companies in advance." Xia Yu spoke slowly, and Yan Wenhan immediately prepared to continue recording. "Okay, that''s it, you go and register all these companies first, and they all belong to Jiuding Culture Media Group." "Understood! I''ll let someone do it right away!" Yan Wenhan replied solemnly. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, thought for a while, and spoke again. ‡�¢à¢ÅChinese website m.¦Ö¢ì¢åz¦Ø.c¦¨§Þ more salary àÜ¿ì¤Î�¿×Ö¤ÕËµÍø} Chapter 159: Korn Ferry International New ¢àOne Chinese Network ¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z¦Ø.c¨°§Þ GengXin¿–Quick Pure Word Network ¤ÕËµÍø "Jiuding Film Company, Jiuding Cinema Company, Jiuding Music Company, Jiuding Brokerage Company, and Jiuding Fashion Company, please register by the way." Hearing this, Yan Wenhan looked solemn, he did not expect that the boss had planned to enter these industries. Don''t know why, he was a little bit enthusiastic. He looks forward to the day when every company in this book will develop to the first place in the same field like Jiuding Newspaper Company. Then the influence of Jiuding Culture Media Group will be absolutely amazing! "Boss, I have finished memorizing it." Yan Wenhan said after finishing his pen. Xia Yu nodded slightly, did not say anything, and fell into thinking again. His complexion changed a little, and in the end he did not speak out his thoughts, but chose to keep it secret for the time being. After all, he has already planned for this idea recently, so there is no need to say it. When that happens, he will handle it himself. "Well, let''s do this first, go ahead!" Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said. "Ok!" After speaking, Yan Wenhan left the office respectfully. After staying in the office for a while, Xia Yu asked Yan Shining to leave the company. He planned to go to a headhunting company and ask the headhunting company to help him dig people. This way, the digging ability is guaranteed and the efficiency is higher. Spend a little money and save time and effort! Otherwise, if you are hiring externally, you may not find it if you are in trouble. After all, not everyone can see the job advertisement. "Brother Yan, go to 34 Yihe Street, Hong Kong Island!" After getting in the car, Xia Yu told Yan Shining his destination. "Ok!" Soon after, the car started to start and drove towards the place Xia Yu said. And Xia Yu closed his eyes, and began to count who to recruit in his heart to avoid omissions when he got there. This time, Korn Ferry International, one of the top five headhunting companies in the world, is the headhunting company that Xia Yu is going to. The office of Korn Ferry International in Xiangjiang is at 34 Yihe Street. In the human resources industry, there are five headhunting companies with a reputation. They are Korn Ferry International, Heidrick & Struggles, Spencer, Egon Zehnder and Lawson. These five companies account for the top five headhunting companies in the world in terms of turnover. These five companies were all founded in the 1950s and 1960s, among which the founder of Spencer was originally an employee of Heidrick & Struggle, and Egon Zehnder was also created by an employee of Spencer in Europe. Now these five headhunting companies have offices in Xiangjiang, but after thinking about it, Xia Yu still feels that Korn Ferry is more suitable for him and can better meet his requirements. Because this involves the business scope of these five major companies. In fact, the positioning of these five headhunting companies is basically the same, they are mainly recruiting directors and senior executives, and their business scope is very similar, basically covering major industries such as consumer goods, industry, finance, communications, and high technology. Life sciences and medical services also cover finance, marketing, human resources, supply chain, etc. So what Xia Yu needs, the person in charge of the Jiuding Book Publishing Company to be established, these five headhunting companies can do. But the problem lies in the talents of the comics industry! For example, the Chinese manga artist Xia Yu needs, the island manga trainer who is proficient in English, etc., are very difficult to find, and these are the middle and low-level manga industry, wanting to find it is like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the comics industry is very prosperous in island countries, but it is not so eye-catching in the world. These five headhunting companies may not pay much attention to this industry, so it may be difficult to complete what Xia Yu explained. task. After understanding, Korn Ferry International is most likely to complete Xia Yu''s task! Although Korn Ferry has the shortest establishment time, it has the courage to innovate and actively expand its business. In addition to focusing on talents at the level of ordinary executives and directors, it also develops the recruitment business of middle management. The scope of human resources is larger. The probability of the task is also greater. As Xia Yu was thinking, the car had already stopped outside the destination. "Boss, the place is here!" Yan Shining reminded. Xia Yu returned to his senses, and saw the Glory International signboard at the door through the window. He smiled slightly, opened the door and walked down. "Mr. Xia, hello, what can I do for you?" As soon as Xia Yu walked in, the receptionist at the front desk looked startled and asked respectfully. As a headhunting company, the most basic thing is to know what potential customers are in the location, and Xia Yu, a newly emerging tycoon, is definitely their most welcome customer. Because the rise time is short, it means that the network is not wide and they want to recruit. Talents think of them even more. Therefore, Xia Yu was recognized by the reception staff as soon as he entered the door. "Hello, is your manager available? I need to find your manager for some business." Xia Yu politely nodded towards her and said with a light smile. "Our manager is upstairs, please sit down and wait a while, I''ll go and notify our manager!" The receptionist finished speaking, and ran upstairs. Xia Yu sat on the sofa next to him, and looked at the surrounding walls There are many Korn Ferry materials and achievement data hung on it, just to give customers the most intuitive impression. After a while, a rush of footsteps came from inside, and Xia Yu straightened his clothes and stood up. Then, a foreigner with blond hair and a suit quickly walked out. After seeing Xia Yu''s appearance, his face was full of enthusiastic smiles. "Hello, Mr. Xia! I am Robert Joyce, the manager of Korn Ferry International''s Xiangjiang Office. Welcome to come!" Robert Joyce said enthusiastically, and at the same time stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Yu heavily. "Hello, Mr. Joyce, nice to meet you!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Mr. Xia, please inside!" Robert Joyce smiled and bowed slightly and said in a please gesture. "please!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded to express his gratitude, and then walked inside with Robert Joyce. As soon as he entered an office, Xia Yu saw that there was already a person waiting inside. After seeing Xia Yu, Robert Joyce and Yan Shining, he immediately bowed respectfully. As soon as he sat down, Robert Joyce smiled and asked, "Mr. Xia, I wonder if you need coffee or tea?" "Bring us two green tea, thank you!" "Ok!" Without Robbie Joyce speaking, the staff on the side consciously made tea. "Mr. Xia, please take your time!" After drinking a few sips of tea, Xia Yu sighed for a long time, ready to explain his intentions. Robert Joyce, who was always watching Xia Yu, immediately realized that Xia Yu was about to talk about things. He quietly put down the teacup and looked at Xia Yu with a smile, looking forward to Xia Yu''s business requirements. ‡�¢à¢ÅChinese website m.¦Ö¢ì¢åz¦Ø.c¦¨§Þ more salary àÜ¿ì¤Î�¿×Ö¤ÕËµÍø} Chapter 160: Spend money to buy time New ¢àOne Chinese Network ¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z¦Ø.c¨°§Þ GengXin¿–Quick Pure Word Network ¤ÕËµÍø "Manager Joyce, I''m here this time because you want your company to help me find some talents." Xia Yu slowly said. "Mr. Xia, please tell me what kind of talents are needed and what are the requirements?" Robert Joyce said with a smile. After speaking, he turned his head to the staff who was waiting to pour the tea at any time. The staff nodded immediately and picked up the notebook on the desk to make notes. "First of all, my newly established book publishing company still lacks a general manager. My requirement is that he has worked in some multinational book publishing companies and is proficient in publishing, distribution, book identification and management. The stronger the better! " "If it''s Pearson or Penguin Publishing Company''s branch head or executive, that would be great!" "These are the requirements, and the price can be based on your normal charging standards." Xia Yu smiled and said without rush. Hearing so many demands from Xia Yu, Robert Joyce not only did not feel embarrassed, but his eyes brightened. The more conditions for digging, the more difficult and the higher the price. He also wished Xia Yu would put forward some more conditions. However, even these conditions of Xia Yu are not simple now. As long as this business is completed, the funds he gets from the bonus pool will never be low. As for the difficulty of digging, based on the experience of Robert Joyce, it is still very sure. "No problem, Mr. Xia, besides this business, do you have other digging needs?" Robert Joyce asked with a smile again. "Have!" Xia Yu nodded and said, making Robert Joyce''s eyes brighten, and the smile on his face became even stronger. "Please speak!" "I also need a manager who has experience in the management of comics companies. It must be of the kind working in the comics industry in the island country. It is best to be a Chinese. If there is no Chinese, the island country can do it, but the premise is not to hate the Chinese!" Xia Yu said again. This talent was recruited to be the general manager of the comics company, and he must be familiar with the island country¡¯s comics industry. He also has connections in the island country¡¯s comics industry. When Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding comics company wants to enter the island country¡¯s market, it will be much easier to be familiar with the enemy¡¯s situation. . "Okay, Xia Sheng, are there any more?" Robert Joyce nodded solemnly. "Finally, I still need some talents in the island country comics industry. The first type is a Chinese comic artist, and the second type is a comic trainer proficient in English or Chinese. The more the better!" Xia Yu put forward the last request, the most difficult one. Sure enough, when he heard Xia Yu''s request, Robert Joyce frowned slightly, but he didn''t want to take the last business because it was difficult and the profit was very low, which can be said to be a tasteless one. However, the two businesses in front of Xia Yu are very big, and it is impossible for him to refuse the last business, or maybe the two ducks in front can fly away. "Mr. Xia, your last request is very difficult, but we will do our best to do it!" Robert Joyce said sincerely, as for whether he thought that way, he knew. Xia Yu had already anticipated Robert Joyce¡¯s reaction, so he smiled and said: "Manager Joyce, I know the last request is very difficult, but I can give another way of remuneration, I believe You should be satisfied." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Robert Joyce raised his brow and became interested. He smiled and made a listening gesture. "For these two types of people, I do not follow your previous charging standards, but give you intermediary fees. You can introduce them to me. As long as I successfully recruit, I will give you 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for each recruit. There is no ceiling. !" After Xia Yu finished speaking, the corner of his mouth looked at Robert Joyce with a smile. Although the cost of this requirement is a bit high, Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care, because even if he successfully recruits a hundred people, he will only need a one million Hong Kong dollar referral fee, but if he is asked to do it himself, he does not know that he will go to the Year of the Monkey. And it may not be possible to recruit. With this time, Xia Yu had already let these talents help him earn millions. I don¡¯t know how many millions. The sooner he recruits, the sooner Xia Yu''s comics company becomes formal, and the sooner he can make money for him! Spending money on time is totally worth it for Xia Yu! Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Robert Joyce was taken aback for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face, obviously satisfied with Xia Yu''s conditions. Seeing Robert Joyce''s reaction, Xia Yu was not surprised, this was in his calculations. Here I have to talk about the charging model of headhunting companies. Large companies such as the world''s top five headhunting companies mainly focus on the recruitment of executives and directors. For example, Spencer has long occupied more than 50 of the director recruitment market of Fortune 500 companies. Because hunting and hiring such top talents, their annual salary is very high. The service fee of headhunting companies is charged according to the annual salary of 2030 for recruiting talents, and the profits are very lucrative. However, the talents proposed by Xia Yu¡¯s last request are obviously middle-to-low-level talents, and their annual salary is very low. An annual salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per person is good. According to the 2030 standard, it is only two thousand to three thousand Hong Kong dollars. Considering the scope and difficulty of finding such talents, it is definitely not a profitable business. No wonder Robert Joyce doesn''t want to do it in his heart. But now Xia Yu proposes to give them a referral fee of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for every successful hire, and that will make a profit! And it¡¯s not capped. Obviously Xia Yu wants to recruit such talents in large quantities. As for what Xia Yu wants to do, Robert Joyce can¡¯t care about it, and he doesn¡¯t bother to think about it. He only knows that the more people he recruits, his The higher the profit margin of the business, the lower the per capita talent exploration cost. In this way, this business can be done! "Mr. Xia, no problem. Our company has more than a dozen offices on the island. I will inform them and try my best to help you recruit people!" Robert Joyce responded with a smile on his face. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and reminded Robert Joyce: "Oh, yes, Manager Joyce, while you help introduce us, we will also post job advertisements to the outside world, there is no way, we need people urgently." After speaking, Xia Yu showed a helpless expression at Robert Joyce Robert Joyce''s heart was stunned, and he heard the potential meaning of Xia Yu¡¯s words, and immediately said, "Xia Sheng, please rest assured. , We will definitely look for talents for you as soon as possible!" "Then trouble you!" Xia Yu said with a smile. His last sentence was to urge Robert Joyce to take care of him. If Xia Yu recruited people by himself, then he would definitely not need the people they introduced. There is such a risk that Robert Joyce does not speed up his efficiency. "Mr. Joyce, please calculate the advance payment." Xia Yu said. Formal headhunting companies will charge advance payment as the cost of recruiting talents before the start of the recruitment process to ensure the normal operation of the company. As one of the world''s top five headhunting companies, Korn Ferry naturally has such rules. "Okay, please wait a moment!" When Robert Joyce finished speaking, he stood up and went out to let people calculate the specific costs. Before long, Robert Joyce came in with the form and handed it to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu finished reading it, he nodded and recognized their charging standards. Then, Xia Yu paid the advance after signing the agreement on the spot. "Mr. Joyce, I have something to do with our company, so I left first. I hope you will speed up the efficiency. I will need a lot of talents in the future. If this cooperation is satisfactory, I think we will have many opportunities for cooperation!" After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu stood up and said with a smile. Robert Joyce said solemnly, "Mr. Xia, please rest assured, we will not let you down! Looking forward to the next cooperation!" "Go slow!" Robert Joyce sent Xia Yu to the door, bowed slightly and made a farewell gesture. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then took Yan Shining into the car and left. ‡�¢à¢ÅChinese website m.¦Ö¢ì¢åz¦Ø.c¦¨§Þ more salary àÜ¿ì¤Î�¿×Ö¤ÕËµÍø} Chapter 161: Teasing his sister in front of her brother After returning, Xia Yu found an office near Jiuding Newspaper Company and rented it, and then sent someone to start sorting it out. There will be the next locations for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Book Publishing Company. In the next few days, Xia Yu spent busy days, running back and forth between the two companies during the day, dealing with the company''s large and small affairs, and copying "Xun Qin Ji" in the room at night after returning home. The time always flies quickly when I get busy, and in a blink of an eye, it is the night of the charity auction. After putting on his formal attire at home, seeing that it was late, Xia Yu took the invitation and asked Yan Shining to go to the Sotheby''s auction house. Sotheby¡¯s Auction House was first established in 1744 by a bookseller in London, England. Since then, auctions have appeared in the world as an industry. Therefore, Sotheby¡¯s is also the world¡¯s most Old auction house. After more than two hundred years of development, Sotheby''s auction house can now reach every corner of the global art market. There are offices in 40 countries and 90 locations in total; more than 70 types of collections are covered. In the current Xiangjiang, in the auction industry, Sotheby''s auction house steadily occupies the first place, even Christie''s auction house can not match it. Soon, Xia Yu''s car came to the location of Sotheby''s Auction House, and under the guidance of the guide, the car parked in the designated parking lot. When he got out of the car, Xia Yu saw the luxury cars parked around him, showing that there are not a few rich people coming tonight. Xia Yu took the invitation and was about to go to the auction venue. He never thought that a car following his car stopped next to his car. Then, the car door opened, and Xia Yu looked over in reflexively. I saw a beautiful girl wearing a beige long skirt in the right back seat, like a blue wave with clear eyes, filled with a touch of warmth, the corners of her mouth were perfect like a crescent, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, looking very Beautiful and touching. Seeing her look, Xia Yu was obviously taken aback, except for a hint of surprise, more because he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen this girl wherever she was, but could not remember who she was. The beautiful girl in the long skirt who got off the bus also happened to see Xia Yu''s dazed look, but Xia Yu was very handsome, and then put on a suit, it highlights his handsome and sunny, so that the beautiful girl is not because of Xia Yu. Dissatisfaction arose suddenly, but a faint joy rose in my heart. No girl dislikes other people''s appreciation, especially those who admire are handsome. No way, people who look good are privileged! Xia Yu was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses, showing a polite smile at her, and collided with the beautiful girl, and found that the beautiful girl blinked her beautiful eyes, a touch of pink appeared on her pretty face. Then, the beautiful girl showed a sweet smile at Xia Yu, then turned to look at the man on the other side who was about to get off, her pink lips slightly opened, and she said in a gentle and melodious voice: "Brother, get out of the car!" Knowing that the beautiful girl''s elder brother was coming out, Xia Yu also knew that there was no need to stay longer. He just wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped. "Xia Sheng, it was you. I didn''t expect us to meet again!" Xia Yu stopped and turned around to follow the prestige, somewhat surprised, then smiled and said, "It turns out that it is He Sheng, it''s a fate, good evening!" It was no one else who got off the bus, it was He Youguang, the eldest son of gambling king He Hongshen! I just met at the fundraising reception held by Xia Yu seven days ago. At that time, because Xia Yu was the host, there were too many guests to entertain, and he didn''t talk too much with He Youguang. I remember that He Youguang still said that he wanted to have a good chat with Xia Yu. Chat, I didn''t expect to meet again here now. Seeing the elder brother and the handsome boy in front of him, the beautiful girl in the long skirt, who is He Youguang''s younger sister Zhenshou, raised slightly, and looked at Xia Yu curiously, seeming to guess who it was. At this time, Xia Yu also remembered who the beautiful girl in front of him was. It was He Chaoqiong, the daughter of the king of gambling. He had seen it on the Internet many times in his previous life, but at that time he saw what He Chaoqiong looked like as an adult, now pure and moving. It¡¯s the first time I saw the image of a beautiful girl, the difference is still very big, Xia Yu did not recognize it is excusable. "Xia Sheng, let me introduce to you, this is my sister Chao Qiong!" After shaking hands with Xia Yu, He Youguang pointed to the beautiful girl and introduced Xia Yu. "Chao Qiong, this is Xia Sheng, didn''t you ask me what he looks like before? The real person is here, isn''t he handsome?" Then, He Youguang jokingly said to his sister He Chaoqiong, making Xia Yu who was listening to him a little surprised, and then smiled bitterly. Hearing what his brother said, He Chaoqiong Lingling''s big eyes widened again, and he looked at Xia Yu without any shyness. Then, she suddenly stretched out her jade hand, imitating her brother just now, making the gesture of wanting to shake hands, her beautiful eyes were bent into crescents, and the corners of her mouth smiled and said: "Hello, my name is He Chaoqiong, I am glad to meet you. ." Seeing He Chaoqiong stretched out her hand frankly, Xia Yu was slightly surprised. She didn''t expect her personality to be a little outgoing, and not as shy as an ordinary girl, but rather a little grandiose. "Hello, my name is Xia Yu, I am glad to meet you!" Xia Yu showed a sunny smile and shook her hand, feeling that her hand was very soft and delicate, but he quickly released it gently. "Xia Sheng, my sister is more outgoing, but it''s not like that to ordinary people. Please forgive me!" "I attended your reception before, and I happened to talk about you when I got home. I was heard by Chao Qiong. I learned that you had created such a big career at a young age. I was curious about what kind of talent it was, so my father and I told her After reading your glorious deeds, now I see you, so..." He Chaoqiong''s abrupt movements were not only accidental to Xia Yu, but also to He Youguang. Worried that Xia Yu might have misunderstood the upbringing of the He family, he explained to Xia Yu, shrugging helplessly. "Bad brother!" After being exposed by my brother, even though He Chaoqiong is outgoing, she is still a sixteen-year-old girl. She still knows to be shy. She stomped and stomped and hummed. She glanced at Xia Yu¡¯s smile, and she was a little uncomfortable. Dare to look at Xia Yu again. "Haha, He Sheng, you will be out of sight, Miss He is innocent and lovely, pure and pleasant, and everyone will like it. How could I be offended? You worry too much!" Xia Yu laughed, waved his hand, and at the same time habitually complimented He Chaoqiong. However, Xia Yu seems to have forgotten that he is now looking like a young man, not an old man, so when he said this, the atmosphere was a bit wrong. Seeing He Youguang¡¯s smile, he took a meaningful look at Xia Yu and his sister He Chaoqiong, and felt He Chaoqiong glanced at Xia Yu in his brother¡¯s eyes, and then quickly lowered his head, but his pretty face slowly turned red. Even the glittering earlobes are pink. Even Yan Shining, who had been waiting quietly by the side, couldn''t help but sigh. Xia Yu suddenly realized that he was suspected of molesting his sister in front of other brothers. Moreover, He Youguang was not angry, but his smile was somewhat meaningful. He Chaoqiong seemed to have been successfully teased by him, and his praise was very useful. What the hell! Xia Yu was a little scolding in her heart, and wanted to smoke a big mouth in embarrassment. Why was she confused at this time! He has always acted like an adult, and he also talked with He Youguang on an equal footing so he praised He Chaoqiong with an adult mentality. If Xia Yu really looks like a middle-aged person, there is nothing wrong with it. But the problem is that Xia Yu has the appearance of a handsome boy, the difference is big! He himself knew what was going on, but others didn''t know that there was an adult soul in his body, and the misunderstanding just appeared, leading to a somewhat embarrassing situation now. This embarrassing situation must be resolved quickly. If the misunderstanding occurs, we will find a way to slowly resolve it later. "Um, He Sheng, the auction is about to begin, let''s go in first!" Fortunately, Xia Yu had a thick-skinned face, he just pretended to be okay, looked at his watch pretentiously, and said with a smile. "please!" He Youguang said with a bright smile, and then walked in with Xia Yu with He Chaoqiong who was still shy. Chapter 162: He Chaoqiongs curiosity There was no word all the way, after Xia Yu handed in the invitation, he followed his instructions to the auction venue. Somewhat unexpectedly, Xia Yu''s number plate and He Youguang''s brother and sister were right next to each other, and He Chaoqiong was sitting next to Xia Yu, and her brother He Youguang was farther away from Xia Yu. In this way, Xia Yu was a little uncomfortable, especially after seeing He Chaoqiong''s still flushed cheeks accidentally, and seeing the curiosity in her beautiful eyes and an inexplicable look, Xia Yu was even more uncomfortable. . No way, Xia Yu can only quickly pick up tonight''s auction catalogue and flip through it. "Hey, there are still a lot of good things. It seems that they are doing charity sincerely. I heard from the previous life that the rich of Xiangjiang are keen to do charity. From here, we can see a little sign!" Seeing the exquisite lots in the introduction album, there are many valuable antique paintings and calligraphy, Xia Yu secretly admired. At this time, Xia Yu flipped through a page, and a picture of the lot on it made him stop and take a closer look. This pattern is painted with lotus and mandarin ducks. In the picture is a corner of a lotus pond with reeds growing. On the crystal clear water, a pair of mandarin ducks swim with each other. On top of them, the lotus leaves are green like umbrellas, and several red lotuses are blooming. Fang Fei. The flower and bird painting method is neat and meticulous, and the virtual and the reality are in harmony. The veins of the lotus leaf, the red silk of the lotus and the fine thorns on the stalk are all depicted vividly, while the water waves, water plants, and reeds are only painted with light ink. The combination of virtual and actual brushwork makes the picture present an ethereal and moist feeling. The title of the lot is "Lotus and Mandarin Duck". Then, Xia Yu looked at the introduction carefully. "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" is an ink and color painting on silk created by painter Chen Hongshou in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is 183 cm in length and 98.3 cm in width. In the upper left corner of the picture, there is the painter''s signature: "The old lotus of Xishan Hongshou was written in Qingyitang", and the seals of "Chen Hongshou" and "Zhanghou" are under the seal. Lot Donor: Mei Shancheng. Xia Yu really has an impression of this painting. In his previous life, when he was wandering in the imperial capital, he had been to the Forbidden City Museum when he had time, and he happened to see this "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" in it. This painting is enough to be listed in the top ten among lotus paintings, and it is worth at least tens of millions of yuan in later generations. It was donated to the Palace Museum by a collector. "I just didn''t expect to appear at Sotheby''s auction house now. It seems that it has not yet been in the hands of the collector." "Since I met, then I''m not welcome. If the price is right, then take a picture. Collect it for later generations. It will definitely make a lot of money!" Xia Yu was in a good mood and thought to himself. Of course, the last sentence is a joke, he still understands the truth about gold in troubled times and antiques in Shengshi. His original intention was to take some antiques and go back, or to be heirlooms for future generations. Even if the family will fall in the future, the children will be able to sell some antiques to raise funds for a comeback. Of course, it¡¯s best if the family doesn¡¯t fall, but it¡¯s okay to be prepared! While Xia Yu was immersed in the "Lotus and Mandarin Duck", He Chaoqiong, who was sitting next to him, also recovered. He glanced curiously at the picture album in Xia Yu''s hand, and saw that he hadn''t noticed, but was still watching carefully. From time to time, he nodded and smiled in admiration. She couldn''t help but curiously turned her side and saw the picture Xia Yu was looking at. Feeling a dark shadow moving, Xia Yu looked up and found He Chaoqiong was looking at the picture album in his hand. Xia Yu smiled, handed the picture album over, and said, "Miss He, do you want to see it?" "No, thank you, I have it here." He Chaoqiong said with a sweet smile, and raised the closed picture album in his hand. After hesitating for a while, He Chaoqiong asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, looking at what you just saw so seriously, is there anything special about this "Lotus and Mandarin Duck"?" "Call me Xia Yu!" Seeing He Chaoqiong calling him was obviously not used to it, Xia Yu knew that she rarely called other people''s husbands, and a little girl called his husband, he also felt weird, so he said with a smile. He Chaoqiong glanced at her elder brother and found that he had no objection. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, showing a bright smile, her beautiful eyes bent into crescents, and she said happily: "Okay, then I''ll call you Xia Yu, and you are also called Let me face Joan." After speaking, He Chaoqiong blinked his eyes and looked forward to Xia Yu. Seeing the beautiful girl''s innocent look in expectant eyes, Xia Yu couldn''t hold back, and He Chaoqiong''s attitude towards him was obviously wrong. What''s going on? Is He Chaoqiong so outgoing and cheerful by nature, or He Youguang told her something that caused her to have such an attitude toward him? Xia Yu, who couldn''t figure it out, didn''t bother to think about it. What did he take into consideration as a man. I don''t care what He Youguang thinks anymore, it''s important to deal with He Chaoqiong first. Xia Yu gave He Youguang an apologetic look, then looked at He Chaoqiong, smiled and said, "Okay, Chaoqiong." He Chaoqiong was obviously a little pleased when he heard Xia Yu didn''t see her outside and called her name. He asked in a soft voice again: "Xia Yu, you haven''t answered my question yet. What is so special about this painting? ?" "This painting is very valuable for collection. If you have spare money, it is actually very suitable to be photographed for collection. It is not a problem to increase it several times." "Moreover, this painting is a rare treasure. Although the above is a photo, it can still reflect the charm of part of the painting. This painting is "out of silt but not stained, clear ripples but not demon." The title of Gaojie lotus, the flower is beautiful, or budding, the first bloom..." "And Chen Hongshou, the painter, named Zhang Hou, called Lao Lian, Hui Chi, a native of Zhuji..." Xia Yu said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Listening to Xia Yu''s explanation, He Chaoqiong was unconsciously immersed in it. He looked at Xia Yu without blinking, and from time to time he showed a look of surprise and surprise. The eyes looking at Xia Yu became more and more admired, and his attention gradually shifted. When it came to Xia Yu, the knowledge Xia Yu explained became more and more difficult to enter her mind. Feeling something wrong with He Chaoqiong''s state, Xia Yu hurriedly ended the introduction, and He Chaoqiong came back to his senses. "Xia Yu You know so much, you don¡¯t look much older than me, where did you learn? It¡¯s so amazing!" He Chaoqiong seemed to have some stars in his eyes, looked at Xia Yu in surprise and said. "No, I just read a book when I''m idle." Xia Yu said with an excuse. "Oh!" "By the way, Xia Yu, I heard my brother say that you are very good. Not only can you write novels, but you also have two companies. Now the first "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong are also yours. You also earned more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars from Uncle Li. How did you do it? That''s amazing!" "My dad said that my eldest brother is not as good as you. At your age, there is no better than you in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. He said that you are a rare wizard in a century. Are you really so good? Why don''t I? come out?" He Chaoqiongzhen tilted his head slightly, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Xia Yu, like a yellow oriole, chattering non-stop, and constantly looking at Xia Yu, as if he wanted to discover Xia Yu. How is Yu different? Chapter 163: It feels so good to be worshipped by Bai Fumi Xia Yu was directly stunned by He Chaoqiong''s series of questions. He looked at He Youguang with a little embarrassment, and happened to be looking at each other with He Youguang. Both eyes were filled with helplessness, but He Youguang also had a hint of apology and embarrassment. . Seeing how his sister looks now, He Youguang feels helpless, especially when he is familiar with her sister, he knows her sister''s character very well, but there is something wrong with her sister now, and he is even more dumbfounded. And he had already been in love. He Youguang, who was married, could tell at a glance that his younger sister was interested in Xia Yu, maybe she didn''t like it, but when a girl was curious about a boy, then the problem began to get bigger. When he was at home before, he chatted with his father and talked about Xia Yu''s attention to He Chaoqiong. After that, He Chaoqiong asked him many times, but he didn''t care about it, so he directly explained what he knew about Xia Yu''s glorious deeds. Chu was also mixed with personal admiration and father''s opinions and attitudes. At that time, my sister did not show anything wrong. I thought it was nothing. Who knew that today¡¯s charity shooter¡¯s father didn¡¯t have time to come and sent him to represent him and brought his sister to meet the world. He unexpectedly ran into Xia Yu unexpectedly, and then inexplicably evolved into what he is now. This caught him by surprise. The affection for his sister told him to stop immediately, but he didn''t know what to do. At this moment, He Youguang wondered if he said too much when he was at home! He Youguang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and stopped seeing his sister and Xia Yu. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xia Yu, who was also a little embarrassed, and then looked at his sister, and suddenly found that they seemed to be the same age. A thought suddenly flashed in He Youguang''s mind. It seemed, it seemed, that it was not impossible for his sister to like Xia Yu. After all, in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, no one of his age can compare to Xia Yu. Although Xia Yu was born from the grassroots, he was not as rich as the He family. But he is a rich generation, much better than the second generation of other families, even he is not as good as he is, no need for a wealthy family, Xia Yu himself has the ability to build a wealthy Xia family. What''s more, He Youguang, who was guided by his father, had a deep understanding of Xia Yu, knowing that his current energy is greater than that of most wealthy families. If it weren''t for the rise of the newcomers, the Xia family would have no other capable person besides Xia Yu. As a result, the Xia family cannot be called a rich family. However, as long as you hold Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company, the foundation of the Xia family''s rise will be completely laid down. It is not a rich family now, but as long as Xia Yu does not die halfway, he can properly become a rich family in the future. Thinking about it this way, He Youguang''s gaze at Xia Yu changed, becoming a little scrutinized, and the more he looked at it, the more appropriate he felt. Not only because of their two talents, but also because as long as Xia Yu marries his sister and marry the He family, then the He family will definitely be stronger. With Jiuding Newspaper Company as a weapon of public opinion, the He family is absolutely safe. increase. With the help of the He family, no one dared to think about Xia Yu. As long as Xia Yu himself does not have any problems, then a complete rise is almost a certainty. It is definitely good for both parties, and the benefits will be great. Up. It¡¯s not that He Youguang¡¯s reality, but that he has taken the reality into consideration. His sister is sixteen years old and she will be married in a few years. To marry is almost like marrying the right wealthy son, but no wealthy son can compare to Xia. Yu, not to mention, it is obvious that my sister is interested in Xia Yu now, and it is difficult to guarantee whether she will like Xia Yu in the future. If she likes Xia Yu again, she likes it herself, and the He family is also satisfied, then this marriage is definitely perfect. Of course, there is another premise, that is, Xia Yu will like He Chaoqiong and will marry her in the future. Thinking of this, He You looked at Xia Yu faintly, and found that he was talking and smiling with his sister He Chaoqiong, and he felt that there was a way for this. "It seems that I have to go home and talk to my father about this. He should also be willing to see it." He Youguang thought secretly. He Youguang knows the character of his father He Hongshen. His father is somewhat patriarchal and has a strong sense of family. This is obviously good for the family, and He Chaoqiong will not object to it. His father would definitely like to see it. More attentive. He Youguang, who had changed his mentality, became relaxed in an instant, no longer caring about his sister and Xia Yu, but instead opened the auction album and browsed it. At this time, Xia Yu also relaxed, and his heart was refreshed by He Chaoqiong''s admiring eyes, and the man''s vanity continued to expand at this moment. Talking about her glorious achievements in front of a beautiful woman, although a little shameful, but Xia Yushuang, the inferiority of a man is exposed at this moment. It can be said that no man does not like to be surrounded and worshipped by women, especially this woman is still a white and rich beauty. Even if Xia Yu is a reborn person and mature in mind, this kind of fault that seems to be hidden in his genes cannot be corrected. Just as Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong got to know each other more and more, time passed quickly, and there were fewer and fewer vacancies in the auction venue. Unconsciously, Xia Yu was full of people. At this moment, some of the noisy venues fell silent, and the voices of Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong, who were still chatting, seemed a little obvious. With an apologetic smile to the people around, Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong both fell silent. At this time, Xia Yu had time to observe the people around him. After a cursory glance, Xia Yu was a little surprised, because he saw a lot of tycoons in Xiangjiang. Not only Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, and Li Zhaoji came, but also Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC Bank, came and sat at the front. However, Xia Yu did not see Bao Yugang, but saw Wu Guangzheng, the son-in-law of the ship king. Xia Yu guessed that Bao Yugang could not come because of something, so he sent his son-in-law over, just like the gambling king did not come, but his son Just as He Youguang came on his behalf, he probably couldn''t get away because of something. In the first two rows, Xia Yu also saw many British people sitting side by side with Shen Bi, probably those from the British consortium etc. The British sitting next to Shen Bi The old man is familiar! Xia Yu blinked his eyes and looked at his profile. He immediately thought of who it was. It was the Viceroy MacLehose who founded the Independent Commission Against Corruption, promoted nine-year compulsory education, and reformed basic industries. He was highly prestigious in Xiangjiang. "Unexpectedly, the Governor of Hong Kong will also come. It seems that the specifications of the Xiangjiang Charity Federation this time are very high, and the handwriting is not small!" Xia Yu secretly thought. "The one sitting next to him is a Chinese. I must be the chairman of the Hong Kong Charity Federation. No one can sit in the middle except him." Xia Yu once again saw the energetic and red face next to MacLehose. The old man, thought to himself. "Fortunately, a reporter from my "Jiuding Daily" came in." Xia Yu turned around thinking about it and saw the employee with a camera at the end of the venue, with the "Jiuding Daily" sign hanging on it. At this moment, Xia Yu found that the sitting Chinese old man stood up, and then walked towards the podium in the center of the stage. The venue was completely silent, and everyone''s eyes were focused on him. Chapter 164: Xiangjiang No. 1 "White Gloves" "Dear guests, I am Chen Deliang, Chairman of the Hong Kong Charity Federation. Welcome everyone!" "Standing here, I am very happy to find that the venue is full of seats. This means that all the guests who received the invitation letter have come. At this moment, I feel the whole venue is full of warm atmosphere. It is that everyone is keen on charity and dedication. , Full of love!" "At this moment, on behalf of all leukemia patients in Xiangjiang, I would like to thank all the guests who have donated lots and participated in the charity auction to express my heartfelt thanks, thank you!" After Chen Deliang finished speaking emotionally, he bowed deeply to the audience. "Fuck!" Suddenly, the whole venue burst into enthusiastic applause, enduring unfailingly. For a long time, Chen Deliang straightened his waist again. Although he was full of white hair and hanging old, there seemed to be something to support him, making him stand tall, and his face seemed to exude a kind of brilliance. Inner integrity and kindness. "This time the auction items are all donated by caring people from all walks of life in Hong Kong. All the auctioned money will also be used for the treatment of leukemia patients. All accounts are open to the whole society, and everyone''s supervision is welcome!" After Chen Deliang finished speaking, there was another round of warm applause. "It is an honor to have invited the Governor of Hong Kong Sir MacLehose for this charity auction, and Sir MacLehose is invited to give us a speech for this charity auction!" As he spoke, Chen Deliang looked at MacLehose''s position, made a gesture of please, then bowed again to the audience, and walked towards the audience. At the same time, the Governor MacLehose, who was sitting in his seat, also stood up and walked to the center of the stage, bowing to everyone. "Papa..." "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone, I am honored to stand here to speak for the glorious moment that is coming. The development and progress of Xiangjiang in all aspects cannot be separated from the joint efforts of all walks of life..." "Finally, I wish this charity auction a complete success, and Xiangjiang''s charity business will get better and better, thank you!" "Papa..." There was a warm applause on the scene again. After MacLehose stepped down, the general manager of Sotheby''s Auction House came back on stage again, thanking him and went down again. Then, another old man in a suit and leather shoes and white gloves walked out from the side of the stage with a smile on his face. All the people present were refreshed, and they knew that the auction would begin soon. Many people who are keen on collecting on the field showed a look of surprise on their faces after seeing the visitors. Obviously, he did not expect him to preside over the auction. Before Xia Yu came, he asked someone to check the information of Sotheby''s auction house, so he recognized who the auctioneer was at this moment, because he had just read his resume in the morning. Cai Keming, 55 years old this year, is the chief auctioneer of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House. He has 30 years of auction experience. He is the first Chinese from Xiangjiang Jiangsu Forbes Auction House to receive the ¡°White Glove¡± honor. He is also the entire Xiangjiang and even the whole The first Chinese in the auction industry in Southeast Asia to win the''White Glove''. Not only that, he is also the record holder of the entire Xiangjiang''White Glove'', and the auctioneer who has won the most''White Glove'' honors, and has set the honor of''White Gloves'' for 15 consecutive games. His reputation is far-reaching and he is the best in the auction industry. A well-known figure. As long as he presided over the auction, the grade will not be low! Here, popularize the concept of "white gloves". The highest honor of the auctioneer profession is to obtain the "white gloves". Being awarded the white gloves is the highest honor of the auctioneer. It marks that an auction has reached a 100% transaction rate. It also represents everyone''s high recognition of you, so if the auctioneer gets a "white glove", his status is like the Oscar winner of the film and television industry, and his status is very lofty. In this auction, the grades of the auction items are not top-notch, but Cai Keming is still presided over the auction, which also represents Sotheby''s auction house''s emphasis on this auction. But think about it, even though the quality of this auction is not top-notch, the people present at the auction are definitely top-notch among the top, and the difficulty of this auction is very small, and it is foreseeable that there will be absolutely no missed auctions. However, the Sotheby''s auction will arrange Cai Keming''s sledgehammer to appear, presumably the purpose is to make Cai Keming do his best to increase the auction amount as much as possible. A top auctioneer and an ordinary auctioneer auction the same item, the gap is very large. A top auctioneer is able to discover minor details all the time, and use them to mobilize the competitive atmosphere in the venue, so that an auction item can be sold at a high price as much as possible! This ability requires not only talent, but also years of accumulated experience. It can be said that every top auctioneer is a top language master and psychologist. Therefore, every top auctioneer is the treasure of the auction house and an important cornerstone to keep the auction house going. So, this time Cai Keming presided over the auction, no wonder everyone in the know was surprised. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am the auctioneer Cai Keming. I am honored to preside over tonight¡¯s auction for you. This auction is based on the principles of openness, fairness, fairness, honesty and credibility, and I hope that everyone will actively bid for it. And good luck to everyone!" Cai Keming showed a gentle smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, the speed of speaking was very appropriate, and his speech was clear, so that everyone could hear clearly. "Let me read out the auction rules and precautions of this auction..." "Next, please have our first lot tonight!" After Cai Keming finished speaking, the lady of etiquette standing by and waiting with the plate immediately walked to the front of the stage with graceful steps, gently placed the plate on the stand, and then gently lifted the covered red cloth. Everyone''s eyes are fixed on the booth looking forward to the appearance of the first blockbuster lot. In this auction, the first lot was kept secret, and it was not marked in the album, just to mobilize the atmosphere of the auction at the beginning. Moreover, the first auction item, although not the best, is also the top of all lots and has the widest audience. It is to increase the amount of auction items that will appear in the beginning and increase the transaction amount of the next auction items. . "Wow, it turned out to be this..." At the moment the red cloth was opened, the true face of the first auction item was revealed. Some people couldn''t help but exclaimed in a low voice, and some showed joy, obviously they had ideas about this item and planned to participate. The bidder who bids. "This lot was donated by the Keswick family. Before the auction, I would like to thank the Keswick family for their generous dedication..." "The reserve price is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the minimum price increase is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars each time the placard is raised. I announce that the first auction of the lot has begun!" Chapter 165: Meet Lin Ruofu again "510,000!" "Mr. 22 bid 600,000!" "Ms. 34 bid 700,000!" "Is there any...well, Mr. 29 bid 750,000!" ... With the rising prices and Cai Keming''s very contagious words midway, more and more people participated in the bidding, and the atmosphere of the venue began to become hot. "Mr. 22 bid 2.88 million, is there any higher?" "The first time for 2.88 million!" "The second time with 2.88 million!" "The third time for 2.88 million! A deal!" "Duang!" "Congratulations to Mr. 34 for photographing this exquisite collection!" With Cai Keming hitting the hammer, the final auction price of the first auction item was fixed at 2.88 million Hong Kong dollars. This price is 880,000 higher than the estimated 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and 2.38 million higher than the minimum starting price of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. The door is open, so Cai Keming is in a good mood and has a brighter smile on his face. "Next, let''s get the second one..." ... The low price of the second lot suddenly dropped from 500,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the transaction price was fixed at 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. With the passage of time, the subsequent auction prices have almost risen all the way, none of them went unsold, and almost every one was sold at a high price. Chen Deliang saw this situation with a happy smile on his face. Finally, Miss Etiquette presented a lot again, which was Chen Hongshou''s "Lotus and Mandarin Duck". "This picture of "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" was donated by Mr. Mei Shancheng..." When Cai Keming introduced, Xia Yu also sat up straight and planned to join the auction. This painting is one of his favorite collections, and he has plans to acquire it. But whether it can be taken, it depends on the auction situation. It doesn''t matter if you can''t take it. Anyway, he has reserved a few other favorite collections, some of which have no lower potential value than "Lotus and Mandarin Duck". And this is a charity shoot after all. You have to give others a chance to do charity, and everyone knows it is a good thing. If you shoot one or two, you will stop. Otherwise, there are so many rich people present, and many people are fully capable of sweeping all the goods into their pockets, but this will inevitably leave everyone with an unsightly impression, and it is not worth it. Because he understands this kind of truth, Xia Yu has already thought about it. He can only shoot two or three pieces at most. Even if other collections have great collection value, he will not take them. He will participate in Sotheby''s auction house when necessary. During the spring or autumn auctions, no one would gossip about scans at that time. "it has started!" Xia Yu thought to himself. Then, as Cai Keming announced the start, someone immediately rushed to bid 180,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then others followed to increase the price. Xia Yu was not in a hurry to increase the price. He knew that there was still a long way to go before the final transaction price. Some of the eager bids were just by chance. Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t move, He Chaoqiong, who was sitting next to him, touched Xia Yu''s arm with his finger, and his head was slightly close to Xia Yu''s ear, and he whispered: "Xia Yu, don''t you like this painting? Why not? Do not be robbed by others." As He Chaoqiong was a little closer, she exhaled like blue, and a gust of heat blew Xia Yu¡¯s ears, causing Xia Yu¡¯s heartbeat to accelerate slightly, turning her head slightly, and seeing He Chaoqiong¡¯s innocent and curious eyes, she obviously didn¡¯t know she had accidentally The action is a bit ambiguous. It seems that my heart is not pure! Xia Yu thought secretly, then his face remained unchanged, and he smiled and explained in a low voice: "Don''t worry, there is still some distance from the final transaction price. Wait for a while when there are fewer people before bidding." "Oh!" He Chaoqiong showed a daze, then pressed his red lips lightly, and looked at the bidders to see who they were. As time passed, some people gradually withdrew from the auction, and only a few people continued to bid. Xia Yu couldn''t help but look over. Only by this look, he was stunned. Because he knew the person next to one of the photographers, it was Lin Ruofu who had a relationship more than a month ago. After that glimpse, Xia Yu went to the same place several times specially, but did not see her. Xia Yu still had some regrets at that time. It''s just that after no goodbye for more than a month, and so many things happened in the middle, the company has things to be busy, causing Xia Yu''s initial impulse to be slowly consumed, leaving only a trace in his heart. Xia Yu didn''t think about Lin Ruofu anymore, it was a stunning moment in his life, and after the shining, he returned to peace. It''s just that he didn''t expect that he had been looking for but never found the person he had given up a long time ago and unexpectedly met him again. It''s a pity that this goodbye doesn''t seem to be friendly to Xia Yu. At this time, Lin Ruofu was wearing a white dress, still as pure and moving as when he first met. But the key is that her clear and bright eyes are looking forwardly at the "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" on the auction stage, and then blinking at the handsome man in his 20s. The man beside her touched her head affectionately, then raised the sign again to increase the price. The close relationship between Lin Ruofu and the man, Xia Yu, could be seen at a glance, and Xia Yu also saw the love revealed in the man''s eyes, and the joy from the heart in Lin Ruofu''s smile. "The two of them should be lovers! Although that man is not as good as me, he is considered a talent." Xia Yu thought to himself, feeling a little bit lost in his heart. "Alright, it was just the heartbeat of the moment. I guess she has forgotten me as a passerby. We can''t even meet each other by the water, so it''s good to end here." "Since this painting is a lotus, it matches her temperament. She wants it, so I don¡¯t have to fight for it. Gentlemen don¡¯t win the favor. Anyway, I just bought it for investment and collection, which has potential for appreciation. There are even higher ones." Thinking of this, for some reason, Xia Yu seemed to have a small knot in his heart opened. He shook his head slightly and leaned on the back of the stool to relax. What Xia Yu didn''t notice was that when he looked at Lin Ruofu in a daze, his expression had long been seen by He Chaoqiong who was paying attention to him. He Chaoqiong followed Xia Yu''s gaze and saw Lin Ruofu wearing a white dress. An inexplicable sense of crisis instantly rose in her heart. But then she happened to see Lin Ruofu''s intimate actions with the man next to her, and she saw the look on Xia Yu''s face that she didn''t know if it was a loss or something. She felt a little bit of joy while feeling a bit sour. But He Chaoqiong didn''t show it. Instead, he took a deep look at Lin Ruofu, and then at the "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" on the auction stage. Shui Lingling''s big eyes rolled around a few times, wondering if he was thinking. what. Chapter 166: What does He Chaoqiong want to do? The auction price of "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" has risen to 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the only contenders are the youth beside Lin Ruofu and the number 40 auctioneer. After competing again several times, when the price rose to 450,000 Hong Kong dollars, Lot 40 also gave up. "450,000 for the first time!" At this time, He Chaoqiong finally couldn''t bear it. She touched Xia Yu again and asked: "Xia Yu, don''t you like it? Why don''t you shoot?" "I don''t want to take it anymore, I''ll take the back." Xia Yu said with a smile, and did not tell He Chaoqiong his true thoughts. But even if Xia Yu didn''t say it, He Chaoqiong still had some guesses in his heart, pursed his lips, and said, "Then you can take pictures if you don''t take them. That painting is pretty good." After that, He Chaoqiong raised the sign in Xia Yu''s a little consternation. This action was not only unexpected for Xia Yu, but even He Youguang looked at He Chaoqiong who was holding the sign somewhat unexpectedly. He didn''t know what happened, causing his sister to do without permission. Holding cards. When he came, He Youguang told He Chaoqiong that if he met someone he liked, he would tell him and let him take the picture. He didn''t expect He Chaoqiong to raise his placard without asking. "450,000 second...well, lady 48 will increase the price by 10,000! Is there a higher one?" Cai Keming was always paying attention to the movement in the court, and found He Chaoqiong holding a card at the first half of his reading. When he saw that it was an underage girl, Cai Keming was shocked for a moment, but he knew who came in. They are all competitive bids, and they won''t cause trouble, so he immediately changed his words. He Chaoqiong¡¯s price increase not only surprised Xia Yu¡¯s He Youguang, but also some of the auctioneers in the venue. After all, everyone with a discerning eye could see that there should be no one to compete. He didn¡¯t expect that Cheng Yaojin suddenly came out, and he did not participate in the auction before. people. Following Cai Keming''s gaze, many people looked at He Chaoqiong, and they were a little surprised for a while because they did not know He Chaoqiong. But it didn''t matter, they recognized Xia Yu and He Youguang on both sides of He Chaoqiong, and they seemed to be in the same group. Li Chaoren, who turned his head, recognized it at a glance. It was the eldest daughter of the King of Gambling. He nodded to Xia Yu and He Youguang, then turned his head back and gave a whisper to the people beside him. Of course, the most surprising thing was Lin Ruofu and the young people beside her. They both couldn''t help but look at He Chaoqiong. When they found out that it was a little girl, and he was a little embarrassed when he found out that it was a little girl, and he was sitting next to the gambling king''s grandson He Youguang After all, competing with a little girl, he was a bit embarrassed. But thinking that Lin Ruofu wanted it, the young man could only raise his placard again cheeky. "Mr. 68 has an increase of 10,000, which has already reached 470,000. Will the beautiful lady on 48 still have an increase?" Cai Keming announced with a smile, and looked at He Chaoqiong. Being watched by so many people, He Chaoqiong blushed a little, but after all he was cultivated by a big family. Although he was not disturbed, he raised the sign again after seeing his brother''s encouraging eyes. "Okay, Ms. 48 will add 10,000 yuan!" Seeing He Chaoqiong continue to increase the price, the young man next to Lin Ruofu frowned and raised the sign again. After raising it, he looked at He Chaoqiong again. At this time, Xia Yu''s gaze stayed on He Chaoqiong''s face, just as He Chaoqiong also looked at him, showing a sweet smile at Xia Yu, raised the sign again, his chin was lightly raised, like a somewhat proud swan , His eyes seemed to look at the youth unintentionally. He Youguang, who was always paying attention to his sister, shook his head and smiled helplessly, but he could only rely on his somewhat abnormal sister. As for the young man, He Youguang had some impressions, it seemed that he was the son of a wealthy family, but he was definitely inferior to the He family, and he didn''t need to care about the young man''s thoughts. The young man next to Lin Ruofu still didn''t seem to want to give up. He raised the placard again and the auction price rose to 490,000 Hong Kong dollars. At this time, other people on the venue also felt something was wrong, and some people couldn''t help but look at He Chaoqiong and the young man. However, I focused more on the young man. Although He Chaoqiong was added afterwards, the young man was older than He Chaoqiong after all. If a big man competes with a little girl, everyone will naturally favor He Chaoqiong. After He Chaoqiong joined the competition, Lin Ruofu noticed and couldn''t help but observe Xia Yu and He Youguang next to He Chaoqiong. When he saw Xia Yu, he happened to look at Xia Yu together. Seeing Xia Yu smile at him, Lin Ruofu only felt a little familiar, but she couldn''t remember. Although she was a little shy to be watched by a strange and handsome boy, she politely smiled at Xia Yu. Unfortunately, this scene happened to be seen by He Chaoqiong. Seeing the smile on Xia Yu¡¯s face, He Chaoqiong felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that her favorite toy was being snatched away. Decided to buy this painting. Thinking of this, He Chaoqiong raised his placard again. "Chao Qiong, do you really like this painting? Would you like your brother to take it for you?" Seeing his sister raise the placard again, there was a tendency to be reluctant, He Youguang realized that it was not good, worried that others might have a pretentious and willful impression of his sister, he asked He Chaoqiong with concern. "I like it a bit, and Xia Yu said that this painting is valuable for collection? It can be increased several times. I bought it and hid it, and I saved all the money that daddy gave me before. I have money. You don''t need to take pictures for me." He Chaoqiong whispered, speaking of Xia Yu when he smiled sweetly at Xia Yu. Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling, and he happened to look at each other with He Chaoqiong, and a blush appeared on He Chaoqiong''s pretty face. Lin Ruofu and the youth beside her saw this somewhat reverie scene. Lin Ruofu pulled up the young man who was holding back his embarrassment and wanted to raise the placard again, and said softly, "Brother, stop taking pictures. That young lady seems to like it very much. She and the person next to her seem to be like a couple. This picture There are mandarin ducks in it, which suits them. And there are already a few lotus paintings in my grandpa¡¯s study, so I don¡¯t need to buy them for me." Lin Ruofu¡¯s brother recognized He Youguang. He saw that He Chaoqiong and He Youguang looked a bit like He Youguang. He also realized that it should be He Youguang¡¯s sister. There is a certain gap between his family and the He family. Now he is the same as the daughter of the king of gambling. The little girl was very embarrassed when she argued, and she felt a little pressure inside. In addition, Xia Yu, who seemed to have some abnormal relationship with He Chaoqiong, was also recognized by him. The family introduced Xia Yu to them specifically to prevent them from conflicting with Xia Yu without knowing it. Xia Yu¡¯s famous name He also knows, so the pressure in his heart can be imagined. But my sister Lin Ruofu has liked lotus flowers since she was a child, and she also likes to paint. She would go to her grandfather¡¯s study to see those lotus paintings when she was young. Now it is hard to come up with a picture of "Lotus and Mandarin Duck". My sister is also interested. The elder brother wanted to take a photo and give it to his sister, but unexpectedly something went wrong. Now hearing Lin Ruofu''s persuasion, the youth hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, showing an apologetic smile to Lin Ruofu, and gently put down the sign he wanted to lift. "500,000 Hong Kong dollars for the first time!" "500,000 Hong Kong dollars for the second time!" "The third time for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!" "Duang!" "Congratulations to Ms. 48 for taking this picture of "Lotus and Mandarin Duck"!" Hearing the sound of the hammer hitting, He Chaoqiong showed a happy smile and smiled at Xia Yu happily: "Xia Yu I took this picture." "Brother, I took it!" Then, He Chaoqiong said to He Youguang happily. And it seems that because he successfully photographed an item for the first time, He Chaoqiong was a little excited, and his cheeks were a little red, so cute. "Chao Qiong, you are awesome!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and gave He Chaoqiong a thumbs up. Seeing Xia Yu''s actions, and hearing Xia Yu''s praise, He Chaoqiong smiled more brilliantly, with her big beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons. He Youguang, who wanted to praise his sister, silently swallowed what he wanted to say when he saw his sister''s appearance, but the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth exposed his true thoughts. "It''s really not staying in the female college..." "It seems that I really have to test Chaoqiong when I go back, and I must tell my father about this..." Chapter 167: There are women Xia Yu finally participated in the next auction. He photographed two things, a Maitreya Buddha pendant carved from top-quality suet jade, a masterpiece by Lu Zigang, the master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty, and it cost him HK$520,000. The other is a painting called "Phoenix Xiaotu", which was made by Zhang Daqian in 1955. Although the Daqian layman is still alive and living in Taiwan Province, he still sold a high price of one million. However, Xia Yu felt it was worth it, because in later generations, this "Phoenix Xiaotu" was ranked in the top ten in the price of paintings and calligraphy that Zhang Daqian had already auctioned. After the death of the later generation Daqian, the price of his works soared. "Feng Xiao Tu" is worth at least 50-60 million Hong Kong dollars. One reason for being able to get such a low price is that the Xiangjiang economy is still in the early stage of its rise, and money is too valuable. The other most important reason is that Zhang Daqian is still alive. Everyone knows that the painter¡¯s paintings will only soar after the painter¡¯s death. If the painter is still alive, no one will dare to raise the price. Especially when he encounters a prolific painter like the Great Thousand Sage, who is also the number one master fraud. Before he died, who had the courage to stir up the price of his paintings and calligraphy? It is precisely for this reason that the top ten painting and calligraphy of the great layman, "Phoenix and Xiaotu", was auctioned by Xia Yu for 1 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the current one million Hong Kong dollars to buy a house in Xiangjiang will sell for ten to twenty million in future generations, it still cannot match the appreciation of this painting. It can be said that Xia Yu has made a lot of money. In the end, this charity auction sold nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars in donations. The smile on Chen Deliang''s face, the chairman of the Hong Kong Charity Federation, could not be concealed, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the people present. Then, Xia Yu and He Youguang and He Chaoqiong two brothers and sisters went to collect their auctioned collections, swiped their cards on the spot to pay, and signed to take them away. In addition to He Chaoqiong''s "Mandarin Duck and Lotus Picture", He Youguang also took an ancient famous painting, which cost him 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. This price will not lose the face of his father''s gambling king. Holding the collection, Xia Yu and He Youguang walked outside together. When he first came to the parking lot, He Youguang looked at his watch and found that it was still early. At this time, the bright moon hung high and it was not too late. He thought for a while and shouted Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, it''s still early, I wonder if it''s an honor to buy you a cup of coffee, and I want to ask you for advice." Hearing He Youguang''s words, He Chaoqiong, who was initially distracted, brightened his eyes and looked at Xia Yu with a look of expectation. Looking across the faces of He Youguang and He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu smiled and said, "My pleasure!" Seeing Xia Yu promised, He Youguang and He Chaoqiong both smiled. "Xia Sheng, I remember that there is a coffee shop that is very high-end and the environment is very elegant. Let''s go to that one, which is not far from here." He Youguang introduced. "Oh? Then I have to experience it, please!" Xia Yu showed interest at the right time, said and made a please gesture. Then, He Youguang and He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu got on their cars. Led by He Youguang''s car, Yan Shining drove along, and the two cars drove out of the parking lot of Sotheby''s auction house one after the other. Soon, the car stopped at a caf¨¦ with a very atmospheric decoration. After getting off the car, Xia Yu followed He Youguang into the cafe. As soon as he entered, Xia Yu found that there was a cave in the sky, all kinds of decorations were very exquisite, and the soothing piano music in the coffee shop, the visual and auditory enjoyment, made Xia Yu a little relaxed for a moment. After finding a private room, the three of Xia Yu sat down, each ordered a cup of coffee, and it didn''t take long for the waiter to present it. Taking a sip of the coffee, Xia Yu exclaimed: "The taste is very good, and the environment is also very good, He Sheng, you will find a place very much!" Hearing Xia Yu''s praise, even though He Youguang knew that Xia Yu''s words were touted, he still couldn''t help being happy from the heart. "Haha, Xia Sheng, I discovered it by accident. To be honest, this is my third time here. Fortunately, I didn''t disappoint you, otherwise it would be embarrassing." He Youguang said jokingly, trying to get closer. Seeing his brother chatting with Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong couldn''t help it, and said, "Brother, you and Xia Yu both call each other Mr. It feels awkward." Upon hearing He Chaoqiong''s words, Xia Yu and He Youguang looked at each other in amazement, and then laughed at the same time. "Chao Qiong is right, we should be friends, call my name Yuguang." "Youguang, call me Xia Yu, too." Xia Yu also said with a smile. "Okay, Xia Yu!" Seeing this, He Chaoqiong showed a happy smile on Qiao''s face. "Xia Yu..." Then, He Youguang began to chat with Xia Yu, asking for some things. The things He Youguang asked were not very private. Xia Yu answered all the questions, and occasionally gave He Youguang some answers, and He Youguang nodded repeatedly. And He Chaoqiong drank coffee quietly and listened, his eyes constantly circling Xia Yu and He Youguang. Just because He Youguang asked, Xia Yu was talking most of the time, so He Chaoqiong''s eyes stayed on Xia Yu most of the time. Seeing handsome and handsome Xia Yu talking with a confident smile, it seemed that there was nothing he didn''t know, He Chaoqiong''s eyes changed unconsciously when he looked at Xia Yu. Before he knew it, the coffee had bottomed out. Xia Yu picked up the cup to take a sip, only to find that the cup was empty. This situation was discovered by He Chaoqiong for the first time. She directly called the waiter and served Xia Yu a cup of coffee again. "Thank you!" Xia Yu said with a smile to He Chaoqiong. "You''re welcome." He Chaoqiong smiled sweetly. At this time, He Chaoqiong picked up the painting on the stool next to it and handed it to Xia Yu. Some said expectantly: "Xia Yu, show you my paintings." "Okay!" Xia Yu took it over with a smile. It''s a pity that you don''t wear gloves, and you can easily cause damage to the painting. But Xia Yu knew that this was not suitable for speaking. He Chaoqiong, a little girl, didn''t understand this. He didn''t need to talk too much. It was easy to spoil the atmosphere. Then, Xia Yu slowly opened the painting. He Youguang and He Chaoqiong also looked over and admired them. During the appreciation, Xia Yu sighed from time to time. Many of those big brothers like to collect, so they still have the ability to distinguish antique paintings and calligraphy. Therefore, Xia Yu also has a not low level of appreciation. Listening to Xia Yu''s explanation, the two brothers and sisters He Chaoqiong and He Youguang nodded from time to time, showing a stunned look. "Okay, put it away, take it home and find a place to hang it, but remember to hang it in a dry and ventilated place." Xia Yu closed the painting carefully, and returned it to He Chaoqiong, smiling. "Yes!" He Chaoqiong lighted his head, and opened his mouth. He didn''t know what he wanted to say, but he didn''t say it again. "What''s wrong, Chao Qiong, what do you want to say?" He Youguang asked. "I...I just want to say, look at what Xia Yu bought." He Chaoqiong was speechless for a while, then he thought of something and said quickly. "Okay, just let''s enjoy it together." Xia Yu smiled, and then took the lead in opening the "Picture of Feng Xiao" by Zhang Daqian. "This picture is so beautiful. Who is this woman in the picture?" Looking at the colorful paintings, He Chaoqiong pointed to the woman in the painting and asked, He Youguang also showed curiosity. Xia Yu smiled faintly, and explained: "This painting is actually an ancient folklore based on the understanding of the great thousand lay people." ¡°According to legend, Qin Mugong¡¯s daughter Nongyu ~ www.novelhall.com~ is not only like a flower like a jade, but also good at playing the sheng, with a tone of its own, and her voice is like a phoenix. One night, Nongyu played on the "Fenglou" Sheng, far seemed to have a harmonious sound, and the lingering sound was beautiful, like a gossamer. After that, Nongyu had no thoughts about tea and rice. Qin Mugong sent someone to find this boy, Xiao Shi, and Nongyu''s illness was cured. , Nongyu played the shengxiao with the young man every day in Fenglou, and the couple agreed. One night, the two were playing together under the bright moonlight, and suddenly a dragon and one phoenix flew in response, so Xiao Shi took the red dragon and Nongyu took the purple Feng, both fly away." "So the woman in this painting is the daughter of Qin Mu Gong''s daughter Nongyu." "Wow, I didn''t expect this kind of story in a painting. It''s amazing. So where did Nongyu and Xiao Shi fly? They must be very happy?" He Chaoqiong showed a look of amazement, with some longing in his eyes, as if he was overwhelmed by the legendary love story between Nongyu and Xiao Shi. Looking at the little star in He Chaoqiong''s eyes, Xia Yu and He Youguang glanced at each other and laughed silently. As expected, the girl was a girl. After admiring it again, Xia Yu combined the "Feng Xiao Tu". Chapter 168: Changchun Ziqiu Chuji "By the way, Xia Yu, didn''t you still buy a jade pendant? What legend is there in that jade pendant?" He Chaoqiong asked, with some expectation on his face, it seemed that he was addicted to listening to the story. Xia Yu laughed, opened the box, took out the suet jade Maitreya Buddha pendant from it, and gently placed it on the table. "Xia Yu, what is so peculiar about this jade pendant that makes it worth more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars?" He Youguang asked. He Chaoqiong also looked at Xia Yu closely, waiting for Xia Yu''s introduction. Xia Yu took a sip of coffee to moisturize his throat, and then whispered. "In ancient China, there were many jade carving masters, but there was a man who was respected as the patriarch of the jade industry. You must have heard of this person." Xia Yu said mysteriously. "Oh?" Hearing what Xia Yu said, He Youguang and He Chaoqiong became even more interested and more focused. "He is the Taoist leader who was named the national teacher by Yuan Shizu Kublai, and the Taoist name Changchunzi Qiu Chuji." Xia Yu said slowly. "Qiu Chuji?" He Youguang''s eyes widened, he looked at Xia Yu in astonishment, and blurted out. He Youguang was really surprised. Of course, Qiu Chuji knew who it was. Jin Yong''s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were popular in Xiangjiang. He also watched them, so naturally he knew who Qiu Chuji was. But he had always thought it was a character in Jin Yong''s novels, but he did not expect to hear from Xia Yu that he was a real person, and besides being a Taoist priest, he was also a master of the jade industry. This surprised him too much. "Yes! It''s him!" Xia Yu definitely nodded. He Youguang shook his head with emotion, not knowing what words to use to express his feelings at this time. He Chaoqiong didn''t think so much. She had watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The year before last, in 1976, Jiayi Television first made "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into a TV series. It was popular in Xiangjiang at that time, and she naturally watched it too. So until who is Qiu Chuji. It''s just that I didn''t expect that Taoist priest was so powerful, he was the grand master of the jade industry. "Then Xia Yu, I remember that this pendant was carved by a master named Lu Zigang? Why is it now about Qiu Chuji?" He Chaoqiong blinked his big eyes and asked, wondering what Xia Yu Tiqiu was doing. "There is still a relationship. If Qiu Chuji is the patriarch of the jade industry, then Lu Zigang is the master who greatly improved the status of the jade industry. It can be said that he is the most famous jade carving master after Qiu Chuji. His position in the jade carving industry is not like that of Bhikkhu Chuji. How bad is the Patriarch." Xia Yu explained with a smile that the purpose of introducing Qiu Chuji was to set a benchmark for comparison and give them a general impression of Lu Zigang. "Unexpectedly he is so powerful!" He Chaoqiong opened her mouth slightly, exclaiming a little. "For this reason, is this pendant so expensive?" He Chaoqiong looked at the suet jade Maitreya Buddha pendant and asked. "Not all, it''s partly because of the material of this pendant." "Look, this pendant is antique, but the pendant is inlaid with a white gold frame next to it. It is a modern addition, but it is definitely a masterpiece. It did not cause damage to this jade, plus the workmanship of this platinum chain. It is also very exquisite, which sublimates the beauty of this pendant." "Of course, these are still the icing on the cake, the most important thing is the high value of this jade." Xia Yu smiled lightly. "Is the material of this pendant very scarce? But it looks really nice, like milk, so white!" As He Chaoqiong said, she couldn''t help it anymore. He carefully picked up the pendant and observed it closely. He looked left and right, very curious. "Because this is the real best-quality suet jade, it is so white." "Lamb tallow jade belongs to the high-quality variety of Hetian jade and white jade. The sub jade of lamb tallow white jade has been soaked in the underground water and soil of the wasteland or oasis of the Kunlun Mountains in mainland for millions of years. The yield is scarce and the value is high." "Laut tallow white jade is crystal clear and white, delicate and moisturized, with few defects, white as fat". Its characteristic is that it is particularly delicate, bright and warm. The finest white jade of mutton fat is nearly flawless, just like fat mutton that has just been cut, and the gloss is like condensed fat, hence the name mutton jade. " "The material of this pendant is white and flawless. It is the best among suet jade!" Xia Yu introduced with a smile, and He Chaoqiong and He Youguang nodded repeatedly. He Chaoqiong touched the pendant, felt it for a while, and then said with a pleasant smile: "Really, it feels really slippery to the touch, it''s as delicate as touching a cheek!" With that said, He Chaoqiong played with it lovingly, reluctant to let it go. "Oh, Xia Yu, I remember there was a saying that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. This sculpture is Maitreya Buddha, so it should be worn by women!" He Youguang looked at the pendant in his sister''s hand, frowned slightly, thought about it, and then asked suspiciously. Hearing what his brother said, He Chaoqiong suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Yu, wanting to hear what he said. "There is such a saying, mainly because men tend to be irritable, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is a female body, a symbol of compassion and softness.''Men wearing Guanyin'' means that men''s character can be softened and not emotional." "While women wear Buddha, they hope that women can be measured and open-minded like the Buddha." Xia Yu explained with a smile. He Youguang nodded suddenly and said: "It turns out that this is the argument, and it really fits." "I remember there are many Buddhas. Does this Maitreya Buddha also have meaning?" He Youguang asked again, obviously interested in this topic. "Yes, it does have meaning." Xia Yu nodded in agreement. Seeing He Youguang and He Chaoqiong listening carefully, Xia Yu reached out to He Chaoqiong and said, "Come on, Chaoqiong, give it to me first." "Okay!" He Chaoqiong immediately handed the pendant to Xia Yu. Xia Yu held down the pendant necklace with his thumb, dragged the Maitreya Buddha pendant with his palm, showed it to He Youguang and He Chaoqiong, and began to understand. "First, Dai Maitreya Buddha can bring happiness to people. You see, Maitreya Buddha has a smile on his face, conveying an optimistic and positive spirit. Wearing Maitreya Buddha can make the body and mind happy and relieve pain." Seeing Maitreya Buddha''s smiling face, He Youguang and He Chaoqiong nodded in agreement, with smiles on their faces involuntarily, as if they were infected by Maitreya Buddha''s smile. "Second, it is to calm people''s mind. Maitreya Buddha is the one with the strongest ability to tolerate humiliation among the many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. No matter what you encounter, you can maintain a peaceful and optimistic attitude. Wearing Maitreya Buddha can make people deal with work calmly. All kinds of pressure have allowed the business to develop smoothly, and the mentality is optimistic and peaceful." "Third, teach people to be tolerant. Maitreya Buddha is also known as the "cloth bag monk" in China. Although the cloth bag seems small, it can contain all things. Therefore, wearing Maitreya Buddha can give people a feeling of tolerance and generosity and help The wearer sorts out good popularity." "It is precisely because "the big belly can accommodate the world" that Maitreya Buddha defeated other Buddhas and became the most common form on the market. If you have the opportunity in the future, if you look at it, you will find that the most common form on the market is The sculpture of Maitreya Buddha." "Just now Youguang said that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha Although it is true, men can also wear Buddha, and they wear Maitreya Buddha, which can be worn by both men and women of all ages." "Men wearing Maitreya Buddha can have great wisdom, humility and tolerance in work and life, and promote a good career." "Women wearing Maitreya Buddha can replenish masculinity, learn from Maitreya Buddha''s generosity, get rid of their own shortcomings of jealousy and pettyness, and become calm. "Elderly people wearing Maitreya Buddha can protect the body of the Buddha, so that the elderly can live longer and spend their old age peacefully, and the material of the Buddha can nourish and care for the body of the elderly, and jade can nourish people." "Wearing a child can sense the wisdom of Maitreya Buddha, thus becoming smart and well-behaved, and learning and growing up are smooth sailing." "But in general, it is best for a woman to wear Maitreya Buddha." After hearing such a long explanation by Xia Yu, He Youguang looked dazed and exclaimed: "So there is so much knowledge, so I have been taught!" After speaking, he gave Xia Yu a fist. Chapter 169: Is this a token of love? "Xia Yu, you know a lot, you know all this knowledge, I haven''t heard of it before, you are so amazing!" He Chaoqiong''s small face was full of wonder, and Xia Yu''s eyes were full of admiration. At this moment, Xia Yu''s image in her mind became particularly tall. Not only was he successful in his career, but also so knowledgeable. It seemed that there was nothing he didn''t know. He Chaoqiong had never seen someone as powerful as Xia Yu. "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled and did not reply. When he felt He Chaoqiong''s adoring gaze, although Xia Yu was very happy in his heart, it was not easy to show it. After all, He Chaoqiong''s brother was beside him. Although He Youguang didn''t seem to see it. "Xia Yu, show me again." He Chaoqiong looked at the Maitreya Buddha pendant in Xia Yu''s hand, with love in his eyes, and pleaded, with a hint of pleading in his tone. Xia Yu did not refuse, and placed the pendant in He Chaoqiong''s hand, with her fingers still touching her warm and delicate jade hand, which made Xia Yu feel a feeling of rapid heartbeat in an instant. His expression remained unchanged, and he cursed himself secretly. Sure enough, he was a little virgin all his life, shameful. Although there are many memories of big bosses, after all, most of them are memories of work and ability. There are very few memories in life and emotions (the first chapter is written), and after all, they are not personal experiences. Memory still has a sense of haziness, so he will be a little bit unbearable in this aspect. He Chaoqiong didn''t seem to notice it, but the faint blush that suddenly appeared on her pretty face showed her uneasy heart. Holding the Maitreya Buddha pendant, He Chaoqiong kept thinking of Xia Yu''s various explanations in his mind, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. After all, she is a little girl with no scheming, and the color of affection on her face is not hidden. This affection was completely seen by Xia Yu and He Youguang. Seeing his sister''s heartfelt love, He Youguang moved in his heart. He seemed to have never seen his sister like something so much. But thinking about Xia Yu¡¯s things, He Youguang could only sigh inwardly. He opened his mouth towards Xia Yu, and wanted to say that he bought it, but he couldn¡¯t open his mouth. After all, Xia Yu is not short of money. If he speaks Buying can easily cause misunderstanding. Thinking of this, he had no choice but to give up. He planned to use the power of the He family immediately after returning to find a similar pendant for her sister. He looked at his watch and found that it was late, but his sister was still immersed in the emotion of admiring the Maitreya Buddha pendant. He Youguang couldn''t bear to interrupt, but he knew it was time to leave. "Chaoqiong, Chaoqiong." He Youguang yelled in a low voice. He Chaoqiong didn''t hear the first sound. He could only increase the volume. He Chaoqiong raised his head and looked at his brother suspiciously. "It''s getting late, we should go home, or daddy will worry about it." He Youguang said with a smile. "Oh, so fast." He Chaoqiong realized afterwards. He Chaoqiong curled his lips, looked at the suet jade pendant in her hand again, her eyes were full of love, but she also knew that it was something from Xia Yu. She reluctantly looked away, then carefully held the pendant and handed it to Xia Yu, whispering: "Here, Xia Yu, give it back to you." Xia Yu saw He Chaoqiong''s love and dissatisfaction with the pendant, and he also guessed his inner thoughts based on He Youguang''s expression. Xia Yu smiled and took the pendant in He Chaoqiong''s hand, and then carefully put it back into the exquisite box. Seeing the sadness in He Chaoqiong''s eyes, Xia Yu suddenly felt like he was a wicked wicked person, and the box in his hand seemed a bit hot. . Xia Yu made a determination in her heart, looked at He Youguang, then smiled and pushed the box in front of He Chaoqiong, and said in her puzzled expression: "Chaoqiong, this pendant is for you!" He Chaoqiong was a little unbelievable when he heard what Xia Yu said. He widened Shui Lingling''s big eyes, looked at the box in front of him, and then at Xia Yu, blinking his eyes, and questioning: "Xia Yu, you don''t want to wear it yourself. ?" "No, I bought it just to put it away. I suddenly found it was a pity to put it away. Since you like it so much, I will give it to you. Beautiful jade and beauties are just right." Xia Yu smiled freely and said, showing neat white teeth. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, He Chaoqiong''s pretty face rose with two blushes, and her eyes seemed to become a little sparkling. She pursed her mouth, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Xia Yu, but the blush on her face showed her inner heart. Not calm. He Youguang also looked at Xia Yu very unexpectedly. Although it felt like the first time he met, Xia Yu gave such an expensive pendant to He Chaoqiong, which seemed inappropriate, and he gave him a gift with a more sensitive meaning. But he also probably guessed that his sister''s love for this pendant was too obvious just now, and Xia Yu might have concerns about avoiding embarrassment, so he gave it to his sister. But He Youguang still feels wrong, which is somewhat inappropriate. "Xia Yu, this won''t work, it''s too expensive, you can take it back." "Chao Qiong, return the pendant to Xia Yu, tomorrow I will take you to pick one you like, okay?" He Youguang gave Xia Yu a grateful smile, then looked at his sister with a serious expression. Seeing his brother''s serious expression, it was not like joking, the joy in He Chaoqiong''s heart vanished in a flash. But she still knows etiquette. Although she is very reluctant, she nodded silently, ready to push the box back to Xia Yu. "Chao Qiong, take it, this pendant is very suitable for your temperament, I take it back, Baoyu is covered in dust, it''s a pity." Xia Yu said with a smile. Then he looked at He Youguang and said, "Youguang, it¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t see me, and it¡¯s not worth any money. The first time I saw Chaoqiong, I didn¡¯t prepare any gifts. This pendant is just right for Chaoqiong. Too shabby." He Chaoqiong, who was about to push the pendant back to Xia Yu, heard Xia Yu''s words and acted for a while, but seeing that her brother still did not speak, the hope that arose in her heart was instantly wiped out, and she pursed her lips. She wanted to push the box back again. To Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, this..." He You looked embarrassed. Seeing his sister''s disappointed look, He Youguang made up his mind and planned to agree to it, but he would find a chance to compensate Xia Yu next time. Unfortunately, before he had time to speak, Xia Yu spoke first. "Chao Qiong, I just like that painting, can you give it to me?" Xia Yu glanced at the painting on the desktop, he had an idea, smiled and said to He Chaoqiong. This was Xia Yu''s solution to the embarrassment. The source of the embarrassment was his pendant, so it was mainly his cause. Since it was caused by him, he would naturally think of a solution. Originally, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the atmosphere, the pendant was given to He Chaoqiong. Unexpectedly, He Youguang''s disagreement caused the atmosphere to become even more embarrassing. As a last resort, Xia Yu had no choice but to make a move. "Okay, Xia Yu, give it to you, I know you like this picture." With a look of surprise on He Chaoqiong¡¯s face, he quickly picked up the painting and handed it to Xia Yu, then happily picked up the box and looked at her brother. She pouted and snorted: "Brother, this is what Xia Yu and I exchanged. ." He You twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled a little awkwardly at Xia Yu. He once again looked at his sister who turned her head away from her, smiled bitterly, and said nothing. "Well, my wish is fulfilled, let''s go home." He Youguang stood up and said. "Xia Yu, it''s getting late, and my parents will be worried when it''s too late. Let''s just don''t live there and talk again when we have a chance!" He Youguang said to Xia Yu. "Talk again when you have time!" Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile. Then, Xia Yu and several people left the cafe and came to the side of the car. When He Chaoqiong got in the car, He Youguang shook hands with Xia Yu, and solemnly said: "My sister is still a little ignorant, I''m really sorry." "How come, Chao Qiong is innocent and cute, with a straightforward personality, and very good!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Thank you!" He Youguang didn''t talk about anything else, he solemnly said thank you again. "Talk again when you have time!" Then, after seeing He Youguang¡¯s two brothers and sisters getting in the car, after the car started, Xia Yu just planned to turn into the car. He didn¡¯t expect He Chaoqiong to roll down the car window, show his head out, waved at Xia Yu, and said happily, "Xia Yu ,Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" Xia Yu smiled, waved to He Chaoqiong, and smiled. When He Youguang¡¯s car drifted away, Xia Yu got on the car and looked at the two paintings on the car. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said to himself: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to go around, "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" finally ran to me. In the hands of you, is it really predestined with me?" Shaking his head, Xia Yu stopped thinking about it. "Brother Yan, go home!" Then, Xia Yu''s car also drove away from the place and drove in the direction of home. ... In the car, He Chaoqiong happily opened the box and looked at the suet jade pendant quietly placed in the middle of the box. She picked it up carefully and admired it with joy. "Chao Qiong, are you happy now?" He Youguang said with some amusement. He Chaoqiong''s small mouth beeped slightly, and He Youguang glanced at it and snorted: "Huh, bad brother, I was very happy at first, but I was so angry with you." Seeing He Chaoqiong''s little emotions, he was obviously still a little bit worried about his attitude just now. He was a little bit dumbfounded and explained: "It was the first time you and Xia Yu met. It was only when you saw you like it so much that Xia Yu gave such a valuable gift. I''m giving you a gift, how can this be? My father will say you when I go back." "You talk nonsense, this...this..." He Chaoqiong was a little unconvinced, wanted to argue, but didn''t know how to argue with his brother. "I also gave him a painting that Xia Yu likes. Yes, I exchanged it with him. I bought the painting myself. It has nothing to do with you. You just murdered me again. When I go back, I will tell Daddy and Mommy, you bullied me. When you went out, you promised daddy to take care of me, but you murdered me! Humph!" He Chaoqiong''s inspiration flashed, thinking of the painting he gave to Xia Yu, immediately thought of the reason, raised his head, and said proudly. The more he spoke, the more fluent he became. In the end, He Youguang led the army and looked at He Youguang with some pride. Chapter 170: He Hong? Mu Mu??/a> Hearing He Chaoqiong''s words, He Youguangshi was completely speechless. He shook his head with a wry smile, and stopped arguing with his sister. He knew that his sister was very clever. As long as he was caught by his sister, he would definitely be at a disadvantage if he continued to fight with her. The hero didn''t suffer the immediate loss, he admitted. Seeing his brother He Youguang admit defeat, a smug smile appeared on He Chaoqiong''s small face, like a kid who grabbed a candy. That was happy. Then, He Chaoqiong looked at the pendant again. She untied the platinum chain and put it on her neck carefully, while Meiyu was on her chest, and her temperament seemed to sublimate for a moment. He Youguang also shined, and couldn''t help but admire: "It''s beautiful!" He Chaoqiong was very happy when she heard her brother''s compliment, but she still remembered that her brother had murdered her just now, so even though she was happy in her heart, she still put on an impenetrable expression and said: "I have decided. I will ignore you today. You praise me I don''t care about you." After speaking, he bowed his head to admire the pendant on his chest. Seeing He Chaoqiong''s words, He Youguang couldn''t laugh or cry, but he also knew that women are angry regardless of age, and when a woman is angry, everything is wrong. Therefore, he stopped talking, leaning on the car, thinking about how to go back and tell his father what happened tonight. As soon as he got home, He Chaoqiong carried his skirt and ran briskly towards the house. As soon as I entered the house, I found that my family was still not asleep. Father He Hongshen and mother Lan Qiongying were in the living room. Besides, the other wives of the father were not there, obviously waiting for them to come back. She ran over, hugged her mother Lan Qiongying''s hand, and shouted sweetly: "Mommy, I''m back." "Daddy, I''m back!" "It''s fine to come back, why do you play so late? It makes Mommy worried." Lan Qiongying touched her daughter''s hair lovingly, and said kindly. "Sorry, Mommy, but we didn''t do anything. After the auction, my brother took me to have coffee." He Chaoqiong apologized first, and then explained. Then, she stood up, turned around in front of her father and mother with her skirt, and asked expectantly: "Daddy, Mommy, have you noticed any difference between me?" He Hongshen and Lan Qiongying unexpectedly looked at their somewhat excited daughter tonight, and suddenly they found the white pendant on her chest. "That pendant is beautiful, but my daughter is even more beautiful!" He Hongshen praised lovingly. "Come on, Chao Qiong, come and show mom." Lan Qiongying smiled and waved to He Chaoqiong. He Chaoqiong sat next to his mother Lan Qiongying obediently, holding up the pendant on his chest like a treasure. Lan Qiongying took it and looked carefully. It seemed that he was infected by Maitreya Buddha''s smiling face. A smile appeared on his face. He praised: "It''s so beautiful, did you auction it tonight? My daughter has real eyes!" He Chaoqiong just wanted to explain, but at this moment He Youguang also walked in and said jokingly, "This was given to her by Xia Yu." After speaking, He Youguang raised his eyebrows at He Chaoqiong, his face was full of slander. "Father, second mother, I''m back." Then, He Youguang said respectfully to He Youguang and Lan Qiongying. "Who is Xia Yu?" Hearing He Youguang''s words, Lan Qiongying was startled. Although he felt that the name was a bit familiar, she couldn''t remember it. However, she guessed it was a man''s name. She looked straight at He Chaoqiong and blurted out the question. Lan Qiongying didn''t know, how could He Hongshen not know? He raised his brows and looked at He Youguang, who nodded knowingly and gave He Hongshen an affirmative answer. "Oh, brother, you''re talking nonsense, where is Xia Yu''s gift? Obviously I exchanged it with him. I exchanged a painting for his pendant!" She was exposed, and her mother was staring at him and asking who Xia Yu was. For some reason, He Chaoqiong was very guilty, her face turned red, and she quickly quibbled. It''s a pity that Lan Qiongying obviously didn''t believe it, her gaze was full of strangeness, and her father''s gaze made her unbearable. She felt a fever on her face and wanted to escape here. "Daddy, Mommy, I''m so sleepy, I''m going to bed, good night!" Finally, He Chaoqiong still couldn''t stand it anymore, dropped a word, blushing and ran toward his room as if to flee. Seeing He Chaoqiong running away, Lan Qiongying was even more sure of the guess in her heart. Her daughter was tempted by this Xia Yu. Such a big change happened only one night after going out. How can Lan Qiongying feel relieved and worried about her daughter being tricked. As parents, both protect the calf, Lan Qiongying immediately looked at He Youguang and asked: "Youguang, what happened tonight, and why did Chaoqiong change so much? Who is that named Xia Yu?" "Sit down and say!" He Hongshen said to He Youguang, he also wanted to know what happened. He Youguang sat down and said, "This is how it is. Just as Chao Qiong and I stopped at Sotheby''s auction house tonight, we unexpectedly ran into Xia Yu. My father had also met him. It was the one from Jiuding Securities. Xia Yu..." "And this pendant is because Chao Qiong likes it very much, and it is too obvious. Xia Yu may not be able to wipe his face, and then said to give it to her. I disagreed at first, and the atmosphere was a bit embarrassing. In the end, Xia Yu said to let Chao Qiong Give him that picture, which is what Chao Qiong said in exchange." He Youguang spoke in great detail, basically covering everything that happened tonight. As for Xia Yu''s long-length remarks, it didn''t matter, he took it in one sentence. "However, according to my observation, Chaoqiong likes Xia Yu a little bit, and this pendant is given to her tonight, this is a bit troublesome. As for Xia Yuxis dislike Chaoqiong, I can¡¯t tell, but I am sure it¡¯s not against it. Exactly." Finally, He Youguang told his own observations and guesses again, and after speaking, he said nothing, looking at his father He Hongshen. "I know Chaoqiong, she must like that Xia Yu, what can I do?" Lan Qiongying muttered to herself in some panic, looking at He Hongshen, hoping that he would call the shots. He Hongshen has been silent since the beginning of listening to He Youguang, frowning slightly, thinking constantly. Hearing Lan Qiongying''s words at this time, He Hongshen said to He Youguang: "You and your second mother tell me about Xia Yu''s basic situation." "Okay, father!" He Youguang nodded, and then said to Lan Qiongying: "Second mom, this Xia Yu is about the same age as Chao Qiong, but his strength is very strong. He currently has two companies under his control, one is Jiuding Newspaper Company, and now Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia The first "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" weekly magazines are his company. "The other is Jiuding Securities Co., which helped Li Chaoren acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company, which strengthened the Chinese people''s morale, and also earned Li Chaoren more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, which was called the stock god." "Seven days ago, he also held a fundraising reception for a securities company. The two funds raised a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and our family also invested 5 million Hong Kong dollars in it." "Now his Jiuding Securities Company controls at least more than 400 million funds, and because of the Jiuding Newspaper Company, his influence in public opinion is very strong, so he has not only strength but also influence." "More importantly, he made all of this from scratch. He is a veritable rich generation. No one of his age in Xiangjiang can compare to him. Moreover, he is single and has no girlfriend." After listening to He Youguang''s words, Lan Qiongying opened her mouth slightly, and was stunned by Xia Yu''s series of circumstances. She had no idea how to evaluate it, so she could only focus on He Hongshen. She is not a stupid person. At this moment, some guessed what He Hongshen meant for He Youguang to introduce Xia Yu''s situation, but she was not sure yet and could only wait for He Hongshen''s opinion. "Brother Shen, are you trying to match Chao Qiong with that Xia Yu?" He Hongshen did not answer directly, but said: "I have seen that Xia Yu. It is indeed a rare talent in a century. So far, I have never seen a peer who is more outstanding than him. I was at his age. , And nothing has been achieved. And he looks very outstanding." "The only concern is that I can''t see through him. He is too calm and doesn''t look like a young man at all." In the end, He Hongshen remembered the cocktail party seven days ago. Xia Yu walked among the guests with long sleeves and was good at dancing. The scales were very good. It was like an old greasy person who had been immersed in the mall for decades. Meet his age. But despite this concern, Xia Yu is indeed worthy of He Chaoqiong no matter what, now it seems that his daughter He Chaoqiong also likes him, that would be great. He hadn''t thought about this before, but when He Youguang said just now, his mind became more active. The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was possible. Not only was there no harm, but there were also many benefits. It is good for He Chaoqiong. After all, being able to marry a man you like, unlike girls from other families, can only be married by politics. The benefits to the He family are even greater After all, public opinion and finance are the top priorities, and the deterrent is very strong, which can keep the He family prosperous for a long time. At the same time, it is good for Xia Yu. Hearing He Hongshen¡¯s words, Lan Qiongying''s mood slowly calmed down, and she asked again: "If it is so, then it is really suitable for Chaoqiong, and Chaoqiong is also 16 years old, not too young. It''s just that Brother Shen, you Does it mean that Ren Chaoqiong develops with him?" "I can see that Chao Qiong likes him a little bit. Now the key is that Xia Yuxi doesn''t like A Qiong. It''s hard to tell." He Hongshen said lightly. "Let it go first. If it can be done, it is best. It is rare that Chaoqiong is tempted by a boy. As long as it doesn''t hurt Chaoqiong, let it go first and continue to observe. If it is really suitable, then it will be promoted." He Hongshen made a decision. As for the benefits to the He family, he didn''t say anything. After all, he was too naked, so he knew it all. Seeing He Hongshen''s decision, Lan Qiongying nodded silently, without raising any objections. Chapter 171: Asias largest printing plant After returning home, it was very late and the family had already rested. Xia Yu did not disturb them, but quietly returned to his room. As a result of drinking two cups of coffee, even though it was late, Xia Yu was still full of energy and did not sleep at all. As a last resort, Xia Yu spread out the two paintings he harvested today for a while, and then carefully put them away. "When will I find a skilled carpenter to make two frames for me, and then hang up the two paintings." Looking at the two paintings on the desktop, Xia Yu pondered secretly. Then, Xia Yu lay on the bed and began to sort things out in his mind. ... Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to Jiuding Newspaper Company. When he came to the company, all the employees were already at work. As soon as Xia Yu walked into the office, Yan Wenhan came to report. "Boss, the companies you ordered have been registered. Offshore processing is still in progress because there are too many companies to register." Yan Wenhan put a stack of documents in front of Xia Yu respectfully and reported. "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded lightly, then flipped through the files on the desktop. These are the documents of the registered company and a stack of business licenses. Jiuding Culture Media Group, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Book Publishing Company, etc., as long as Xia Yu said, they have successfully registered, and the efficiency is not low. But think about it, although the government has to go through the process, but with the energy of Jiuding Newspaper Company to supervise this matter, it is easy to speed up the progress. After Xia Yu flipped through it, he found that there was no problem. Then he smiled satisfied and said to Yan Wenhan, "Thank you!" "Boss, this is what I should do!" Yan Wenhan lowered his head and said respectfully. "How are the other things in the company going?" Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan and asked softly. "Boss, it''s Jiuding News Agency first." "According to your instructions, I sent people to collect the relevant information, and then organized Zhao Cheng and them to study. At present, the system and management system of our Jiuding News Agency has been initially established, and various functions have been preliminarily divided. It is to allow employees to adapt to new positions." "As for the establishment of local offices and the recruitment of local leaders, I also assigned the task to let them each prepare a plan. It is expected that it will be submitted in three days and will be submitted to you for review." Yan Wenhan reports respectfully. "Ah, very good!" Xia Yu smiled. It seems that Yan Wenhan did a good job in management. He knew what he should and shouldn''t do in his position, neither holding on to power nor exceeding power. This made Xia Yu very satisfied. "How about the company''s current work progress?" Xia Yu asked again. "The list of the top 500 HeungKong enterprises has been compiled, and the top 500 HeungKong billionaires has also been made. It will be released next week. As for the list of the entire Southeast Asia, as the various branches are still expanding, there is insufficient manpower. There are still difficulties, and it has not been produced yet." Yan Wenhanhui reported that the results and problems have been stated. "That''s not a hurry, as long as the local Hong Kong company is produced first. It can be predicted that if the two lists are singled out, the influence of "Economic" magazine will definitely rise to a higher level! You must seize the opportunity to expand your influence and let "Jiuding Daily" cooperates with the publicity." Xia Yu was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face. If the ranking is expanded from the top 100 to the top 500, the influence and authority will definitely skyrocket. After all, there are four times more companies on the list. The sense of honor of the companies that can be on the list is naturally strong. From company bosses to employees, it will be even more Follow this list. Because people will have vanity, and the sales of "Economic" magazine will not increase at that time! Moreover, there are more companies on the list, and the proportion of statistical analysis data in various industries will also change. These data are extremely valuable, and it depends on whether they can find business opportunities from them. As long as more people find business opportunities, or learn something from it, naturally they won''t be stingy with these few dollars for buying magazines. As for the problems we face, what can we do if there is not enough manpower? You can only do it step by step, and can''t be anxious, Xia Yu naturally won''t blame Yan Wenhan. Slow work and careful work, no hurry! After Xia Yu learned about the company''s situation, he asked Yan Wenhan to go out and continue working. After staying in the company for a while, he went to the company''s printing plant. The printing plant is not far from the company, near the industrial zone in Kowloon. Because of this period, Hong Kong¡¯s economy has only begun to rise, the real estate industry has not yet fully exploded, and there is still a lot of land waiting for development on the most prosperous Hong Kong Island, so land prices have naturally not soared. Therefore, in the Kowloon area at this time, there are still many barren mountains and ridges, and because the manufacturing industry has not yet declined, there are still large industrial areas. The printing plant of Jiuding Newspaper Company is near the Jiulong Industrial Zone. Because of an accident last time, the printing factory was closely supervised. There were walls surrounding the printing factory. Only one gate passed through. A sign was hung on the side of the gate, which said Jiuding Printing Factory. As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the printing factory, it was stopped by the guard, and only let it go after seeing that it was Xia Yu, and called the factory director Zhang Lei as soon as possible. After Xia Yu stopped, Zhang Lei ran over panting. "Boss, you''re here!" Zhang Lei shouted hurriedly without being able to straighten out his anger. "Zhang Lei, there is no need to be so anxious, I''ll just take a look." Xia Yu said with a smile. His surprise arrival was just a whim. He wanted to understand the situation of the printing house. In order to prevent Zhang Lei from thinking too much, he naturally wanted to comfort him. Zhang Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the boss was dissatisfied with him. Fortunately, he wasn''t. However, he still worked hard and waited for Xia Yu''s questions at any time. "Go, take me to the factory to see." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he raised his chin to Zhang Lei and motioned him to lead the way. "Boss, please come with me! Put on a mask before going in." As Zhang Lei said, he took Xia Yu to the preparation room, put on a mask, and then took Xia Yu to a factory building. Just outside the door, before entering the factory building, Xia Yu heard the roar of the machine coming from inside, and at the same time a strong smell of ink came out from inside. Although wearing a mask, I still smell some. After entering, the employees of the printing plant are busy, performing their duties, putting paper, binding, operating the machine, carrying and so on. When the employees saw Xia Yu and Zhang Lei''s arrival, they didn''t stop. After taking a look, they continued to work. This made Xia Yu nod secretly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which made Zhang Lei, who was always observing Xia Yu''s expression, sure in his heart. "Boss, look, this film is the production line for printing "Jiuding Daily"." "Here is the production line for the separate printing of "Economic" magazines." "This is the production line for printing "Xun Qin Ji" separately..." Zhang Lei took Xia Yu around and introduced as he walked. Xia Yu sometimes stopped to look at the specific production process. After watching for about half an hour, Xia Yu left the factory with satisfaction and came to his office with Zhang Lei. "I just watched it. You are tightly organized and well done!" After Xia Yu sat down, he praised him. "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Zhang Lei said with joy. "You just said that the production capacity of the printing plant has reached 80% of its full capacity, and there are some upward trends. Although it can last for a while, it is necessary to continue to expand the printing plant." Xia Yu pondered for a while, then said slowly. Zhang Lei immediately refreshed, and the boss of the secret road is about to expand the printing plant again. He looked at Xia Yu with piercing eyes, waiting for the next step. "I have already registered two companies, one is an animation company, which will do comics in the future, and the other is a book publishing company, which will do bigger and stronger publishing business. It is conceivable that the demand for printing from these two companies will definitely be great. ." "In order to avoid the initial problems of our company, the printing plant must be built in advance." "You just had a wise approach to sub-regional management, so next, the printing plants of these two companies will have to build separate workshops for sub-regional management." "Now there is a problem. I find that the land of the printing plant is not enough to continue to expand the plant." Xia Yu said slowly, speaking out his thoughts and the problems he found. "Boss, please tell me, no matter what the difficulties are, I will try my best to do it!" Zhang Lei straightened his chest, his expression resolutely assured. "Entrust you with a task. You should prepare a detailed expansion plan. At the same time, you should understand the situation of the land around the printing plant, how much the land is, and who owns the ownership. Circle it and start the expansion." "My goal is to build the printing house into the largest printing house in Asia. If you do it well, the position of the general manager of this printing house is yours. If you do not do well, then you should only manage the Jiuding Daily. In the printing plant of the company, I will give the position of general manager to someone else, have you heard clearly?" Xia Yu looked at Zhang Lei straight and said with a serious expression. He put a tempting pie in front of Zhang Lei, urging him to work hard to complete the task, which is also a test. There is a big difference between the positions of general manager and branch manager! According to this trend, printing houses will become independent one day. As the general manager, he is not limited to Jiuding Newspaper Company, and his status has naturally risen greatly, but it depends on whether he can seize this opportunity. "Boss, I will complete the task and I will never disappoint you!" Zhang Lei flushed excitedly, stood up straight, and said loudly. At this moment, his steady heart was beating extremely fast, and his brain was somewhat congested. With the opportunity to rise, UU reading www. uukanshu.com was promised by the boss himself, if he still can''t catch it, it really deserves it! "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded silently. The matter has been ordered. I checked my watch and found that it was late. Xia Yu stood up and prepared to leave. Before getting in the car, Xia Yu patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Don''t let me down!" "I promise you won''t let you down!" Zhang Lei solemnly promised, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was almost swearing. Xia Yu got into the car with a hum. Watching Xia Yu''s car driving out of the door, Zhang Lei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of determination, and he walked toward the office with his head held high. He must make a plan, which is bound to satisfy the boss so as to live up to his boss. Expect and value. He is about to decide on the position of the factory director! Chapter 172: Womens gangster and "Friends Manke" ‡�¢àÒ»ÖÐÎÄÍø¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z§ë.c¨°§Þßì‡�¿–Úb°Æ¢åFiction ͇ In the next few days, the company''s affairs were proceeding in an orderly manner. Xia Yu was not idle either. In addition to dealing with the company''s affairs and copying the story of seeking Qin, he added another task, which was to make a planning plan for comic magazines, and to draw comic characters and outline the main line of the plot. These things are very simple to him. You can just copy and copy the plans for comic magazines. As for drawing comic characters and the main plot outline, it is also very simple. Those big guys in the memory of previous lives have other skills besides their job. For example, there is a financial tycoon who likes piano very much and has good piano playing skills. There is a big arms boss who does not look cold and ruthless, but has a gentle side. He likes to paint, and he loves to sketch. He doesn''t like popular oil paintings at all. After decades of practice, his sketching ability can be described as perfect. In addition, some people like racing, some like diving, some like fishing, some like singing, and some even like women''s clothing. Wait, something strange seems to have appeared? Women''s clothing? The legendary women''s lady? And still 24k pure boss? Uh...this particular hobby...the women''s clothing boss can''t afford it! When Xia Yu found out the memory of this lady''s bigwig, he was inspired, and the goose bumps instantly covered his whole body, he was caught off guard! These big guys all have something unknown, their hobbies can be described as strange, but now they all belong to Xia Yu! Because of this, drawing comic characters has the sketching skills that the military industry tycoon has trained for decades. Xia Yu can''t draw too fast! As for the main storyline? Is this still a problem for Xia Yu? You can write novels! What''s more, with the writing ability of the Internet novel **** Lingyun, writing an outline is not too simple. What''s more, it is not the outline that was conceived by itself, but the simple and refined outline! Once the characters are drawn and the main plot outline is written, they can be thrown directly to the people under them, so that they can have a full plot and draw the comics. Although the plot is written by a different person, the plot will definitely be different from the original works of later generations, but as long as the skeleton is the same as the main body, the rest are minor details and discrepancies will have little effect. Otherwise, let Xia Yu paint, and the painting won''t be finished until the next life. This kind of hard work will only take him until his brain is disabled! His time is very valuable, he has no time to waste drawing comics little by little! ... After sorting out the clues, first get the planning plan of the comic magazine, first of all, the name and positioning of the comic magazine. The name of the comic magazine has been decided, and it is called Zhiyin Manke. As for the positioning of the comic magazine, Xia Yu also intends to use the positioning of the previous life friend Manke. After all, it has been proven that it can be successful, and the positioning and setting are in line with Xia Yu''s inner thoughts, so naturally it will not be used. The previous life friend Manke adheres to the publishing policy of story first, hilarious first, public awareness, and original life. It is divided into four magazines "Meng Huan Rui Ran" and is committed to creating the first issue of "New China Comics". The soul is published as "you have dreams when you are young, and love when you are young"! In his previous life, Zhiyin Manke quickly became popular in just one year at an unpredictable speed, and continued to innovate in the form of periodicals and comics. Three years later, it became a rising star of Chinese comics! Summarizing its experience, it is to find out the Chinese-style cartoons at this stage are relaxed, humorous, easy to understand, talk about life, talk about growth, and are filled with the warmth of youth. It has to be said that Xia Yu likes the soul of the soulmate of Manke! Let me talk about the development path of Zhiyin Manke. Manke, a former soulmate, was first published in January 2006. It started as a monthly issue and launched a semi-monthly issue in September 2007. In October 2008, the comic magazine was launched. By the end of 2008, the monthly circulation of Zhiyin Manke exceeded 1 million copies. In October 2009, the weekly magazine was listed. So in fact, it took three years and nine months from the launch of Zhiyin Manke to the weekly magazine! One of the most important reasons for this is that various factors are constrained. One is funding, the other is manga talent, the third is that they are still crossing the river by feeling the stones, and are still searching for roads, and the fourth is because there are no super heavyweights. Comics appear and so on. All these reasons have caused the friend Manke to grow out of nothing, and it took such a long time from his status to be No. 1 in China. But Xia Yu didn''t want to wait so long! His situation is also very different from the previous life''s Zhiyin Animation Co., Ltd. Money, what Xia Yu has, is absolutely not lacking! The positioning of the comics is also straightforward, just copy it! Distribution channels are all over Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and there is no shortage. He said second, no company in the same industry dares to be the first! Heavyweight comics? Too much, there are no cartoons in the island country and China, let him use it! The only constraint is talents. As long as there are comic talents, Xia Yu¡¯s friends will have a smooth journey in this life Of course, because of the different circumstances, Xia Yu¡¯s development plan for the friends The road is also very different. His plan is to launch weekly magazines directly in one step, instead of starting from monthly or semi-monthly magazines step by step. Weekly magazines have the largest market and the greatest influence! Of course, the difficulty is also the greatest! In the previous life, Zhiyin Manke was serialized in four magazines separately, but due to the problem of manga talents, Xia Yu planned to not separate the magazines, but change the format, and temporarily transition. Xia Yu intends to first divide the four themes of "Meng Huan Rui Ran" in the Zhiyin Manke comics magazine. Each theme will first serialize an iconic comic to start these four themes so that readers have a clear view. Positioning, when the strength is enough and the comics have more themes, then four weekly magazines will be divided from it. At that time, one of Xia Yu''s intimate manke magazines will become four comic magazines, which will not only make more money, but also make Doudao country comics more exciting. After all, fighting alone and in groups is of course a group fight. It''s better to beat the enemy. If one day, Zhiyin Manke¡¯s four major weekly magazines "Meng Huan Rui Ran" occupy the top four positions in the island comic magazines, it will be exciting to think about it. One person suppresses the entire island country''s comics industry. Although the difficulty is unimaginable, if it is completed, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will definitely be included in the history of the comics industry, and the island country''s comics industry will be nailed to the pillar of shame! Of course, apart from this somewhat unrealistic idea, there is another very important reason for the four issues. That is, many famous cartoons in the island country appeared in the 1980s, and some even appeared in 1981 or 1982. It is not many years since now. If it is just a comic magazine, it will not be serialized. Xia Yu should quickly take up the pit! Baidu search ‡�°ËÒ»Chinese website §Þ no ad word novel website Chapter 173: The ambition of foreign cultural export ‡�¢àÒ»ÖÐÎÄÍø¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z§ë.c¨°§Þßì‡�¿–Úb°Æ¢åFiction ͇ Otherwise, if it is too late to get the comics that should have belonged to the island country, causing them to appear in the original trajectory, then the strength of the island country''s comics world will increase by a point, which will cause a lot of trouble to Xia Yu. Those comics that are destined to be popular in later generations are just like heavy artillery pieces. Of course, Xia Yu has to grab them as much as possible and aim the guns at the island country comics world to help him conquer the city. Otherwise, if Xia Yu turned a blind eye to these bright gold mines waiting for people to dig, he would just kill him with a piece of tofu. What kind of tycoon would he be? ! Next, Xia Yu thought about how to arrange benchmark comics for the four major themes, not only to fit the theme, but also to ensure success as much as possible, and at the same time pave the way for the subsequent rise of independent comics. There are many issues to consider, so it is natural to consider it carefully to avoid errors later. After thinking for a long time, Xia Yu continued to write and began to write. The theme of "Moe" strengthens the feeling of love and a healthy and happy life atmosphere. The first Cargo Ding comic was a Pokemon that became popular due to games and was later adapted. "Fantasy" theme, meaning fantasy, refers to the fantasy element of imagination. The first Ding Ding comic is a masterpiece of Chinese fantasy comics, the Douluo continent of the Tang family. The "sharp" theme implies going forward bravely, not afraid of hardships and obstacles. The first comic book to carry the tripod is the One Piece, known as one of the three major migrant workers in the island country. The theme of "burning" symbolizes passion and enthusiasm, and proves that the passion of youth is ubiquitous. The first comic book with a tripod is the highest record holder for single book sales in later generations. It has accumulated more than 360 million copies sold worldwide and is known as an island country. Dragon Ball of "National Comics"! As soon as these four comics came out, Xia Yu didn''t believe in his friends and couldn''t get hot! After all, these four are really popular comics! Among them, Dragon Ball is the top three commercial value of the island country comics. It was serialized in Shueisha''s weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1984, and it was serialized until 1995. It is precisely because of the existence of Dragon Ball that the circulation of weekly Shonen Jump is It has been rising, and in 1995, it reached 6.53 million copies per issue, setting a record. Only after the end of the Dragon Ball serialization, the magazine''s circulation decreased rapidly, and Shueisha also began to decline. It was not until 1997 that One Piece started serialization that it slowly eased. From this point, one can see the power of Dragon Ball, a comic that has supported the island¡¯s top-selling weekly boy jump. In addition, over the decades, the serialization and publication of Dragon Ball comics, the peripheral derivatives market, and the pan-entertainment adaptation of ip, etc., have created at least five or six billion US dollars in commercial value over the decades, and In the future, energy will continue to create value. It''s worth mentioning that Dragon Ball is also the world''s most game-played comic, so it is included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Now Xia Yu is ahead of Jiyingshe and snatching the Dragon Balls. With the influence of the Dragon Balls, the friend Manke can definitely become popular and can also severely inflict Shuyingshe. Xia Yu still can''t forget. In his previous life, he and his friends hurried home after class, waiting for a good time watching Dragon Ball anime on the TV. It is only 1978, six years before 1984. Toriyama Akira, the creator of Dragon Ball, has absolutely no ideas yet. Xia Yu copied it without risk. Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there is another very important reason that prompted Xia Yu to grab the Dragon Ball, and that is the cultural issue. The protagonist in Dragon Ball is called Monkey King. The inspiration comes from China¡¯s Journey to the West, as well as the early days of the Bull Demon. The islanders learn from China¡¯s culture and make money from China. Xia Yu feels very upset. What is this? ? Is it plausible? Therefore, Xia Yu has no psychological pressure at all to copy the Dragon Ball. As for One Piece, it is a boy manga created by the island country manga artist Eiichiro Oda. It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump on the 34th in 1997. It is also the backbone of Shueisha. One Piece is the Chinese name, and the island country is called One Piece. In order to have a sense of substitution, the influence of the name of One Piece should not be underestimated. As of June 15, 2015, One Piece has published a total of 320.866,000 copies in the island country, and is officially certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the world''s most-circulated comic series created by a single author". As of July 21, 2017, the Island National Memorial Day Association has passed the certification and will establish July 22 each year as the "Onepiece Memorial Day". In the previous life, One Piece was extremely hot in China, saying "I am going to be the man of One Piece!!!", which made many young people excited. In terms of commercial value, although One Piece is not as good as Dragon Ball, at least it can rank in the top ten of the island nation. It is definitely a golden mountain. If Xia Yu doesn''t grab it, he will lose the face of the reborn. Of course, the two most important pillars before and after the Shueisha were robbed by Xia Yu. I don''t know if it can still sit on the throne of the island country comics club. In Xia Yu''s view, it is very hanging! The third part, the name of Pokemon Xiangjiang, another Pok¨¦mon, is the translation of Taiwan Province, the official translation of the island country, and now it is Pokemon. This is a manga that has been changed because of the game, and the Pokemon anime produced is popular all over the world. The game name Pokemon, developed in 1995, is a game launched by Nintendo Co., Ltd. in 1996. Its unique game system is widely welcomed by the public, with annual product sales exceeding 10 million. Nintendo took advantage of this boom and launched a series of follow-up games, comics, books, battle cards and peripheral products. It also launched TV animation with the island nation¡¯s TV TOKYO, as well as an annual theatrical animation film. In 1998, it successfully entered the United States and expanded to all around the world. Become a world-famous cartoon character and Japan''s national animation The sales of related products have reached billions of dollars, absolutely surpassing One Piece. This series of games is the second best-selling game in the world, second only to Nintendo''s Super Mario series, and it is a big golden mountain. As long as it is copied over, not only can the power of Zhiyin Manke be greatly increased, but at the same time Xia Yu can also use it to enter the video game industry in the future. It is completely worthwhile to work against Nintendo. It is definitely a great weapon. As for the last Douluo mainland, even if the young Chinese have never seen anime, comics, novels, etc., they probably have heard the name, and their influence is amazing. Xia Yu had high hopes for this comic, but it was also his most bottomless one. Because he didn''t know if Douluo Continent would not accept it, but after considering it for a long time, he still intends to make Douluo Continent a masterpiece of "Fantasy Theme" by the friend Manke. Because this involves a long-term idea of ??Xia Yu. With Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Pokemon, it is difficult for the friend Manke magazine not to be popular. Xia Yu wants to experiment to see if he can use the heat to push out the Douluo Continent, and try to avoid unacceptable situations. , Increase the success rate. When it comes to cultural export, Xia Yu has to be careful. After all, compared to the three comics, Douluo Dalu is the real Chinese comics, and its addition contains Xia Yu''s strong expectations and ambitions. As long as the Douluo Continent can catch fire, then Xia Yu can also successfully launch comics such as Stealing Star Jiuyuetian, Fighting the Sky, and Full-time Master. At that time, if these cartoons are raging in the island country, it will be the real export of foreign culture, and it will be really cool. Dragon Ball and One Piece are essentially island cartoons, but they were copied by Xia Yu. They are definitely not as good as their own. Baidu search ‡�°ËÒ»Chinese website §Þ no ad word novel website Chapter 174: Like an enemy ‡�¢àÒ»ÖÐÎÄÍø¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö¢¸1z§ë.c¨°§Þßì‡�¿–Úb°Æ¢åFiction ͇ In the next few days, Xia Yu turned on the busy mode again, and almost used his free time to write the main line outline of the comics and draw character settings. Prior to this, Xia Yu also asked Yan Wenhan to publish a job advertisement in Jiuding Daily, announcing the establishment of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., recruiting comic talents, and the salary is higher than the current Xiangjiang comic industry. This news makes many readers look at it. After all, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is a brother company to Jiuding Newspaper by looking at its name. Although it is just established, it has the energy of Jiuding Newspaper Company. You don''t need to think about it. The starting point will be very high. But it was in the comics industry that many people frowned secretly. After all, in their impression, comics are not a good thing. Many parents are afraid of them, for fear that their children will like comics and then learn badly. Of course, this is not to blame them. After all, only Xia Yu knows about the plan of the friend. They are right to think according to the conventional view, but when the friend of the friend comes out, they will definitely be dumbfounded. As soon as the job advertisement published in Jiuding Daily came out, the most restless thing was the Xiangjiang comics industry. Shangguan Xiaobao¡¯s Shenghuo Publishing House, and Huang Yulang¡¯s Yulang Book Company, the two major hegemons of the Xiangjiang comics industry, naturally bear the brunt. "President, it''s not good, Jiuding Newspaper Company and the stock **** is about to enter the comics industry, and now it has recruited external talents." Early in the morning, an employee of Shenghuo Publishing House took a newspaper and ran into Shangguan Xiaobao''s office with a look of panic. Shangguan Xiaobao frowned when he saw him panicking. He wanted to say something, but before he could say what he said, he heard the employee''s words. He was shocked. Before he could think about it, he grabbed the newspaper in his hand. Browse it. Shangguan Xiaobao watched very carefully, for fear of missing important content. It''s just that as time passed, his face became more and more serious, and his hand holding the newspaper clenched into a fist unknowingly. After the last reading, he slapped the newspaper on the table and made a noise, which made the reporting staff shocked. The employee secretly looked at the president, Shangguan Xiaobao, only to find that he frowned, leaning on the chair and thinking, his expression constantly changing. "Trouble, a shark rushed in. How can the stock **** Xia Yu think of the comics industry? The entire industry combined is not enough to provide shoes for the financial industry. How can the richer financial industry not go deep into the comics? This little pond of industry..." "Headache..." Shangguan Xiaobao rubbed his temples and muttered to himself with a headache. The job advertisement detailed the advantages of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Although it has just been established, it is the same boss as Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company. . Moreover, the advertisement also focuses on the standard. Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Newspaper Company are brother companies and can borrow all the distribution channels of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Although Shangguan Xiaobao¡¯s Shenghuo Publishing House has been around for seven or eight years, and has continued to expand distribution channels over the years, even though he has spent a long time, it is still a scum compared to Jiuding Newspaper Company. . Although he didn''t want to admit this, his reason told him that the gap did exist and it would only get bigger. Now Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has made it clear that there is no shortage of money or distribution channels. The only thing lacking is comic talents. Through this recruitment, the shortcomings of comics talents will definitely be supplemented. It is just a matter of how much. . So as long as the quality of the comics issued by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is not bad, even if Bruce Lee, who is temporarily not comparable to his Shenghuo Publishing House, with the help of powerful distribution channels, he can also create a market and impact him. The only way now is to hope that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. can''t recruit people! Just seeing the salary promised in the newspaper, Shangguan Xiaobao couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. The salary is a bit higher than the average level of the industry in Hong Kong. It is difficult for others not to be tempted. His publishing house will definitely be tempted. Fortunately, because the publishing house now implements an apprenticeship system, and all painting talents are his apprentices, it is difficult to get away if they are bound, so Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is difficult to dig out people, but now its high salary is given to Shangguan Xiaobao Bringing a problem, people in the publishing house will definitely be restless. I am afraid of contrast in everything, and there is no harm if there is no contrast! If Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. really implements the announced salary, Shangguan Xiaobao will definitely face the pressure of salary increase, which will greatly reduce his income. Will he be happy if he pays money from his pocket? Unless Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. goes bankrupt, he won''t have to raise his salary! "Sure enough, it is rich and powerful, the comics do not see the shadow, just a job advertisement has caused me trouble, hey..." Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiaobao sighed secretly, very uncomfortable. "President, when I came in, other colleagues already knew the news, look?" The employees who had been standing for a long time saw that Shangguan Xiaobao seemed to have finished thinking, and they warned carefully. Shangguan Xiaobao frowned, then stood up and said to him: "Go, follow me out." He is going to settle down in the publishing house, otherwise the hearts of the people will float, and the trouble will only get bigger and bigger if it is not controlled. ... At the same time, Yulang Book Company, another dominant player in the Xiangjiang comics industry. Huang Yulang at this time also saw the job advertisement on Jiuding Daily, and his expression was also solemn. What Shangguan Xiaobao could think of, Huang Yulang could also think of, because of this, the pressure in his heart can be imagined. Compared with other industries, the Xiangjiang comics industry has a very small market. Just like his Dragon Tiger Gate comics, it can now sell 100,000 copies per issue, but the price of one copy is only two Hong Kong dollars, and the sales per issue is only two. More than one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. If you think about two Hong Kong dollars, it''s just the retail price, and the ex-factory price is even lower. Think about it this way, Dragon Tiger Gate comics can generate 5 million revenue for him a year, but the profit will only be less. Coupled with another Bruce Lee comic with a sales volume of over 100,000, plus other miscellaneous income, the market for the entire Xiangjiang comic industry is now at most tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. How can such a market of tens of millions be able to gain the eyes of tycoons and giants? This kind of money is completely low-end hard money Those big people don''t like it! And not to mention the reputation of the comics industry is not good! Huang Yulang had never worried that a tycoon would come in to make this hard money before, but he didn''t expect the accident to come so suddenly, and a shark rushed in in a blink of an eye. How could this not make him extremely vigilant? It''s just that he can''t figure out where the comics industry has attracted such big players as stock **** Xia Yu. Does the comics industry have great potential? It''s just that after so many years, he didn''t see the great potential! If there is potential, why should there be a sign? I can''t blame Huang Yulang for this. It is estimated that Shangguan Xiaobao thinks the same way, thinking that the comics industry is such a small market. The height of the horizon determines the breadth of thinking. At this time, they have been in Xiangjiang''s Nest for a long time. Although fighting each other, they are still like frogs at the bottom of a well. They want to break their heads but can''t figure out that the market capacity of the world''s comics industry will be hundreds of times larger than the current Xiangjiang comics market. Even in later generations, the entire industry chain with comics as its source, the market will reach hundreds of billions of dollars! But no matter what, when I learned that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. had rushed in, Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao were like enemies, sending people to follow the latest developments of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. at any time. At the same time, they also used their own means to keep their company''s employees. This is the power of Xia Yu and Jiuding Newspaper Company. They just raised their hands gently, but they have already scared a group of people! Let them have to stand up! Of course, what Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao want to see most is that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has a lot of thunder and a little rain. It is limited by the problem of manga talents and eventually closed down. Is it just as they want? Let''s go and see!

Xia Yu, who was immersed in the painting, raised his head and looked out the door when he heard the knock on the door. When he found that it was Zhang Lei, he moved in his heart, put down his pen and said, "Come in!" "Boss!" Zhang Lei said respectfully, standing in front of Xia Yu, holding a document in his hand. "Are you done with the plan?" Glancing at the documents in Zhang Lei''s hand, Xia Yu asked somewhat unexpectedly. In just a few days, Zhang Lei made a plan, and by the way, he would also investigate the surrounding land conditions. If it was done, the efficiency would be too high. I just don''t know if the quality can keep up with the efficiency? "Yes, boss, please see, this is the plan I made." Zhang Lei nodded solemnly, then handed the plan to Xia Yu with both hands. Xia Yu took it directly, without saying much, but turned to the first page and started browsing. "Shasha...shasha..." For a while, only breathing and slight paper rubbing remained in the office. Seeing the boss Xia Yu constantly flipping through the plans he made, Zhang Lei couldn''t help holding his breath, clenching his fists, his heart was up and down, always observing Xia Yu''s expression. He did 120% of his efforts on this plan. Since the boss left that day, he immediately started to act. Even after getting off work every day, he was still busy writing the plan when he returned home, in order to do his best. The best, to satisfy the boss. Before coming today, he had read this plan dozens of times, and he was familiar with every data, and he also ruled out every error that could be found. He has tried his best, and now is the time to wait for the verdict. Whether the hard work of the past few days was in vain or helped him soar into the sky depends entirely on a word from the boss! After a long time, Xia Yu closed the plan, still looking at Zhang Lei, and found that he was composing himself at this moment, and the clenched fists unknowingly revealed his inner anxiety. Xia Yu looked at Zhang Lei up and down. When he saw that his face was about to change, Xia Yu showed a smile and said: "From this plan, I can see that you have worked hard. It''s good. I''m very satisfied!" As soon as Xia Yu''s words were uttered, Zhang Lei only felt the blood rush to his forehead, his face flushed with excitement, and he stood up straight, his smile on his face completely unconcealed. "thank you boss!" Zhang Lei shouted. "Just follow your plan. Buy the land first. I will allocate you 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the land. Printing equipment and plant construction costs are accounted for by Jiuding Newspaper Company, animation company and books. The two factories of the publishing company will be established in the first phase, and the project will be tendered out. My requirements are on two points, one is to be fast, and the other is to ensure quality. If these two points can be achieved, then choose the low price. " After speaking, Xia Yu bowed his head and signed the plan and handed it to Zhang Lei. "Make a copy of the plan and give it to Yan Wenhan, but the main burden is on you, don''t let me down!" Xia Yu looked at Zhang Lei with piercing eyes and said. "Thank you boss, and promise not to let you down!" Zhang Lei replied loudly, he succeeded, and the boss still gave him the burden, which made him ecstatic. But in order to be more stable in front of the boss, he can only be as serious as possible. It¡¯s just that the curvature of the corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth still reveals his inner joy, which is seen by Xia Yu, but Xia Yu is not seen. Zhang Lei is also instinct to be happy. If even this is not worthy of joy, then there is Problem. "Go ahead and do it!" Xia Yu said encouragingly, and waved to Zhang Lei after finishing speaking. Xia Yu intends to use the money for the expansion of the printing plant, 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the land, from his account in Jiuding Securities Company, after all, Jiuding News Company certainly cannot get it. But for the money to buy equipment and build a factory, Xia Yu was going to leave Jiuding Newspaper Company. After all, the printing factory is still under Jiuding News Company. Although the two newly established factories were established for Jiuding Book Publishing Company and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., they were not used by Jiuding Newspaper Company, which would harm the interests of Jiuding Newspaper Company. But these companies are 100% controlled by Xia Yu. Although it is a little messy, others can''t control it. And this is not Xia Yu¡¯s willingness to do this, but a compelling one. After all, these companies are new companies that haven¡¯t been established for a long time. They are constantly expanding and demanding money everywhere. Even if Jiuding Newspaper Company has a strong hematopoietic ability, it can¡¯t be used. It hasn''t been long since I was established, and I haven''t accumulated many family assets. If I want to develop quickly, I can only inject capital continuously. The same is true for other companies. When it was first established, Xia Yu needed to allocate funds in each company and use it as much as possible. If you want to change this, you will have to go through this period of entrepreneurship and transfer the financial power to the parent company and distribute it uniformly. Just like the Ministry of Finance and state-owned enterprises, after the collection, development funds are allocated according to the plans of each company. This is a special period. If you want to develop faster, you can only cut off those shackles and do special things! The only problem is that Yan Wenhan owns 1% of Jiuding Newspaper¡¯s profit dividend, which will harm his interests. It''s just about this point, Xia Yu knows it well, and will make it clear with Yan Wenhan at that time, so as not to harm his interests and avoid hurting his heart. Big deal, when the year-end dividends are distributed, I will give him a big red envelope alone, and Qian Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care about that little bit. The 1% profit distribution ~ www.novelhall.com~ is not much, and the difference is not much. , Anyway, he will never lose out. In the afternoon, Xia Yu received news that the buildings of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Book Publishing Company were all decorated and arranged, and he asked him to check and accept them. The building of the new company is not far from the building of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Xia Yu arrived in less than three minutes by car, and the acceptance was completed soon. Looking at the uniform desk in front of him, Xia Yu smiled. Now the printing plant has begun to enter the construction process, the office is decorated, and the basic hardware conditions are sufficient, so there is a shortage of people. As long as the heads of the two companies are recruited, the respective company job fairs can be opened. Otherwise, now we start hiring employees. Xia Yu can''t hire him alone, and it''s not easy to manage after recruiting. The company can''t get on the right track quickly, and it wastes his time. Even Xia Yu¡¯s signboard advertisement for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. published on Jiuding Daily has a specific recruitment date for the convenience of management. It is not yet the recruitment date! The efficiency of Korn Ferry International is still very fast. When Xia Yu came to the company early the next morning, he received a call from Korn Ferry International. Three people have been identified and they are interested in applying for the position of general manager of Jiuding Book Publishing Company. Soon, three resumes appeared in front of Xia Yu. The first resume made him shine, and he couldn¡¯t help but smile, because this person, he had heard of, was a well-known character in later generations. . "God helps me too. This top talent has not yet made his mark. Now I have discovered it. Naturally, he can''t let him go. As long as he is there, my Jiuding Book Publishing Company will develop without problems!" Xia Yu smiled and muttered expectantly. Baidu search ‡�°ËÒ»Chinese website §Þ no ad word novel website Chapter 176: Gavin Peter The next morning, Xia Yu''s car stopped at the entrance of the cafe where He Youguang had been. Xia Yu got out of the car, looked at the sign, bowed her head and tidied his clothes, smiled slightly, and walked to the road. Xia Yu made an appointment with the top talent and interviewed in this cafe. "Hello, sir, what would you like to drink?" As soon as he came to the counter, the waiter asked enthusiastically. "I''ll order it later, please open a box for me first, I''ll wait for someone." Xia Yu said with a slight smile. "Okay, sir, please come with me!" The waiter said enthusiastically, and then took Xia Yu to a box. "Give me a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and, if a foreigner named Gavin Peter comes, please bring him here." After speaking, Xia Yu took the tip and stuffed it to the waiter. Seeing the ten Hong Kong dollar tip given by Xia Yu, the smile on the waiter''s face became more enthusiastic, and quickly nodded in response: "Okay, rest assured, sir!" Xia Yu gave a light hum, and the waiter slowly withdrew from the box with interest. After a while, the waiter came in again with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Xia Yu. "Sir, please take your time!" "Thank you!" Xia Yu thanked with a smile. ... Just as Xia Yu was waiting leisurely while drinking coffee, a taxi stopped outside the cafe and came down to a middle-aged white man in vigor. Looking up at the sign, the middle-aged white man smiled slightly and said to himself: "memory, this should be the cafe." Then, the middle-aged white man sorted out his suit and found that there was no problem, he carried his black leather bag, and walked towards the cafe with his head high. "Hello, I''m looking for someone!" As soon as the middle-aged white man entered, he smiled and said. "Excuse me, are you?" The waiter saw that the speaker was a foreigner, and guessed that it was Xia Yu, but he asked cautiously. "My name is Gavin Peter." Gavin Peter replied. "Please come with me, that gentleman is already waiting for you, he has just arrived ten minutes." The waiter said and led Gavin Peter to Xia Yu''s box. Soon, he came to the outside of the box. Gavin Peter looked at Yan Shining who was standing upright at the door of the box. He knew that he was Xia Yu''s bodyguard. Gavin Peter smiled at Yan Shining and showed his goodwill. "Hello, this is Mr. Gavin Peter, who is waiting for the gentleman inside." The waiter explained to Yan Shining. Yan Shining nodded, took a deep look at Gavin Peter again, and said, "Wait a minute." "Thank you!" Gavin Peter said thankfully. "Buckle..." "Boss, Mr. Gavin Peter, who you are waiting for, has arrived." Yan Shining knocked on the door and shouted inside. "Come in!" As Xia Yu''s voice came from inside, Yan Shining opened the door and gave Gavin Peter a please gesture. As the door opened, Gavin Peter saw Xia Yu who had just stood up at a glance. Even though he had known about Xia Yu before coming and knew that he was very young, he still couldn''t help being surprised when he saw Xia Yu''s face. However, Gavin Peter is also a person who has seen the world. Many big family heirs in the UK have entered the family business at a very young age to familiarize themselves with the situation. It is just that Xia Yu is the master of the company directly in comparison with those of the big family who are simply experienced. power. "Hello, Mr. Xia, this is Gavin Peter, I''m sorry to keep you waiting!" Gavin Peter stepped forward quickly, reached out and held Xia Yu''s hand together, and said apologetically. "Hello, Mr. Peter, I just arrived, please sit down!" Xia Yu said, letting go, and invited Gavin Peter to sit opposite. "If you want to drink, please order it yourself." Xia Yu said with a smile, and the waiter quickly handed over the exquisite list. "Give me a latte, thank you!" It didn''t take long for the waiter to bring up the coffee, and then retired wittily. "Mr. Peter, I have seen your resume. The experience is very rich. I also recognize your abilities. I just take the liberty to ask, why are you willing to come to my office as the deputy manager of the Xiangjiang branch of the Penguin Publishing Group? A new company with nothing?" After the greeting, when Gavin Peter had taken a few sips of coffee and was ready, Xia Yu looked straight and started to ask questions. Seeing the coming of the formal interview, Gavin Peter lifted his spirits. He was already prepared and immediately said: "In my original position, I have been working for six years, and my boss is a more assertive person." Speaking of this, he stretched out his hands helplessly. Xia Yu knew what he meant. The boss was a very stubborn person. He didn''t listen to his opinion. The term''independent'' was just a euphemism, and he did six things. In 2009, I was still in this position, and there was no hope of promotion. Uncomfortable work and no way to get a promotion. For a middle-aged man who is now only forty years old and is in his prime, it must be unbearable. "I think my ability is enough, but there is not a wide enough space to give full play to my talents, so here I am!" Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded lightly, preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail. He stayed in a company where he could not see the opportunity to make a big difference. After asking this point, Xia Yu had a clear heart, and he continued to ask. "If you were the general manager of the company, how would you make the company develop at a high speed? I want to hear your management ideas." After listening to Xia Yu''s second question, Gavin Peter knew that the highlight was coming. He pondered for a moment, nodded slightly at Xia Yu, smiled confidently, and began his explanation. "I have known your company. So far, apart from newspapers and magazines, only the novel "Xun Qin Ji" has been published, except for newspapers and magazines, but the sales volume is very hot. In the Chinese popular novels, it has been regarded as a standstill. In addition, there is another advantage, that is, the distribution channels are all over Southeast Asia." "But the book publishing industry also belongs to the media industry. After so many years of development, it has divided into many branches, such as popular fiction, social sciences, business non-fiction, high-end popular fiction with high cultural content, high-end literature, and politician books. , Children¡¯s books, etc." "Your Jiuding Book Publishing Company is a newly established company. Everything needs to be built from scratch. If you want rapid development, the best way is acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions! Let other companies take all the achievements accumulated over the past few decades. Help your company grow." "If I were to manage the company, my core management concept would be acquisition, supplementing the company¡¯s shortcomings, turning the enemy into my own, and letting its subsidiaries dig deep into their respective small branch industries and specialize in a market, so that they can compete in fierce competition. Rushed out of the market." "These are my management concepts, thank you!" After Gavin Peter finished speaking, he said politely, then looked at Xia Yu with a smile, waiting for Xia Yu''s opinion. Chapter 177: Pearson Education Group "Fuck!" Xia Yu applauded with satisfaction. Gavin Peter did not let him down. Although he said that, the reason is actually very simple. If others say that, Xia Yu would not pay too much attention to it, but now it is Gavin Peter. It''s a different story. Now Gavin Peter is just a deputy manager of the Xiangjiang branch of Penguin Publishing Group. He hasn''t made some dazzling results, and he has not been favored by the head office. But with the memory of later generations, Xia Yu knows the greatness of Gavin Peter. He is a master of acquisitions, he likes to initiate acquisitions, and after the acquisition of the company, the company can show its due value and will not be buried in his hands. He later served as the president of Penguin Publishing Group, and worked until Xia Yu crossed. He was the president of the group for decades, and he was very capable. Many people may not be familiar with Penguin Publishing Group, but it is definitely not unfamiliar to talk about its background. Penguin Publishing Group is a subsidiary of Pearson, the world''s leading education publishing group company, ranking first in the world. If you have heard the name Pearson, but his other name is Pearson Education Group, many people have definitely heard of it. Longman, a household name in China, is a subsidiary of Pearson Education Group in China. Many people should have studied and used "New Concept English" and "Longman Dictionary of Modern English". In addition, as the world''s largest education publishing group, Pearson Education Group also has two major financial newspapers, the Financial Times and The Economist! Yan Wenhan had previously worked in the "Financial Times" for four years. The Economist, along with Fortune, Forbes, and Business Week, is called the four kings of financial magazines. In the hands of Gavin Peter, Penguin Publishing Group has developed into the tenth largest multinational company in the world media industry, and is also the world''s most famous English book publisher, mainly publishing novels and non-fiction works, as well as children''s books, and books in print Up to 25,000 species. In addition, the most interesting is the series of acquisition cases he led. He has a unique vision. Each acquisition has played an important role in reinforcing the Penguin Publishing Group. After the acquisition, those acquired companies are not Will be negatively affected and still able to develop at a high speed. In his previous life, two of the acquisition cases he led were the most dazzling. Together they acquired the famous Putnam Company of the United States, making Penguin Putnam Company the second largest English book publisher in the world. And the first one is Penguin Publishing Group. Therefore, the first and the second are all in the bag, not the cow. The second was the acquisition of Dolin Kindersley in 2000. This company is a well-known British publisher of non-fiction graphic books. With the goal of "knowledge affinity", color books were expanded to include reference books and Life, art, travel, gardening, cooking, preschool education and other non-literary books. Its publishing style with both pictures and texts has influenced the world publishing industry. It publishes travel notes, popular science and encyclopedia reading materials, practical books for daily life, children''s books, etc. which are sold worldwide. After this acquisition, Penguin Publishing Group''s publishing business covers all kinds of books, and its publishing and distribution network spreads all over the world, which has established its dominant position in the publishing industry, and its influence is amazing! It can be said that Gavin Peter contributed a lot to Penguin Publishing Group''s achievements! However, it is 1978, and Pearson Education Group has just acquired Penguin Publishing Group a few years ago, and Gavin Peter has not been unearthed, causing him to run in front of Xia Yu. If in a few more years, when he becomes successful, he becomes the president of Penguin Publishing Group. At that time, Xia Yu wants to dig people, let alone doors, even windows. Gavin Peter is now forty years old, and he has the abilities he should have. There is only a glimmer of opportunity, a carp and a dragon! But in this life, Xia Yu wants him to degenerate in Jiuding Book Publishing Company and lead the company to develop into a world-renowned publishing company. "I totally agree with your salary requirements, and if you develop the company to my satisfaction, you have a great chance of getting equity rewards, but how much you can get depends on how much you can achieve!" "Besides, I give you the greatest power in the management of the company. Unless you make a major mistake, I will not interfere with your business easily." Xia Yu looked at him solemnly, and said categorically. After all, looking at him expectantly, Xia Yu believes that Gavin Peter should not refuse. After all, money and power are given to him. Not only is the future promising, but there is also a place for him to display his talents, as long as he is not stupid. , Will definitely agree. Sure enough, as expected by Xia Yu, Gavin Peter was a bit stunned. After all, this interview was a bit sloppy. He only asked two questions and agreed on the spot. He was not asked to go back and wait for the news, but he quickly recovered. , Showing a smile. He stood up, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, respectfully said: "Boss, I will not let you down!" "You are welcome to join!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand. "Thank you!" Gavin Peter also stretched out his hand and held Xia Yu together, and said solemnly. After the interview was successful, Xia Yu took him to the company and signed a contract. After he let him handle his own affairs, he could report to the company and be responsible for the establishment of Jiuding Book Publishing Company. As for the remaining two talents, out of politeness, even though Xia Yu had already recruited, he still notified them and asked if he would like to be the deputy manager. Unfortunately, they were both unwilling, and Xia Yu had nothing to do. But with one of the most powerful ones, Xia Yu is already fully rewarded! With the arrival of a big cow, the future of Jiuding Book Publishing Company can be expected, and Xia Yu can also breathe a sigh of relief. Next, I just hope that the talents Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. needs will come quickly. ... After returning home in the evening, Xia Yu rarely sat on the sofa to watch TV with his family. It was TVB''s Jade Channel. This time is the golden viewing period, and TVB''s main drama is broadcast, and the family watched it with gusto. Only soon, the episode ended, followed by an advertisement. When he saw this advertisement, Xia Yu was taken aback, and it turned out to be an advertisement for Xiangjiang Ocean Park. He didn''t expect that Ocean Park would be bothered to advertise. It was interesting. "Wow, it''s Ocean Park. I heard from my classmate Wenli that there are a lot of fun in it. Not only can you see all kinds of marine and land animals, there is also a huge amusement park, and it''s so beautiful on TV!" Looking at the bird''s-eye view video shot on TV and the fine-cut picture, Xia Xiaomei couldn''t help but said, with some longing in her eyes. "There should be sharks and whales in the ocean park, don''t you know how many species are there?" Xia Ming also said that he had never been to sea with his parents, and occasionally saw a whale stranded on the beach so he didn''t know many fish. Looking at Yan Hong again, although he didn''t say a word, his eyes also showed longing. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "Then I will take you to play this Saturday, do you want to go?" "really?" The three children looked at Xia Yu together, blinked and asked. "Really!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. "Oye, brother is so nice!" "awesome!" The three children couldn''t help cheering, with excited smiles on their faces. Seeing their excitement, Xia Yu seemed to be infected and laughed silently. Chapter 178: 135 million The next day, Wednesday, the stock market was operating normally, and Xia Yu went to Jiuding Securities Company early in the morning. "Boss, this is the latest situation of the company, please have a look!" Wang Qi, Ai Lewen, and Jin Jiajun came to Xia Yu''s office together, wrote down their work progress on paper, and presented it to Xia Yu. After reading one by one, Xia Yu had a basic overview of the company''s current situation in his mind. First of all, Wang Qi¡¯s side. After so long, the remaining 55 million funds in the proprietary account, that is, the part of the funds that have leveraged ten times the financial leverage, have all bought the Wharf stocks, and bought a total of 4 million. Wharf stocks, accounting for 4.08% of the total share capital, with an average purchase price of HK$13.75 per share. So far, all of the 285 million Hong Kong dollars have been spent. Among them, a total of 222 million Hong Kong dollars have been spent on the purchase of Wharf stocks, with a total of 16.5 million shares, a total of 16.84% of the equity. In addition, it is the 4.9% of Cheung Kong Holdings'' shares that it has always held. After such a long time, the benefits of the Qingzhou Yingni Company''s acquisition war have been exhausted by the Cheung Kong Industrial Group. So in the past few days, the stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings has stabilized. Now the total market value of Cheung Kong Holdings Group has reached 1.651 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking 26th in the latest HeungKong Enterprise Ranking, which has advanced four places. Xia Yu owns a 4.9% stake in Cheung Kong Holdings Group, valued at 81 million Hong Kong dollars. At the time of the acquisition, 63 million Hong Kong dollars were spent, and now it has a floating profit of 18 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, Wang Qi also manages the money that Xia Yu made through Qingzhou Yingni Company. It used to have 115.5 million Hong Kong dollars, but some time ago, I bought a house for Xia Jun and Xia Lei for 2 million, and also spent 1 million on renting office space for the two companies of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and then removed the decoration and purchase of office supplies. , And a car purchased at home, costing another 500,000 yuan. Therefore, free investment funds should be left at 112 million Hong Kong dollars. But Xia Yu was not so stupid. He left such a large sum of money in his bank account. Don¡¯t forget that he is a financial player. How could he do such a stupid thing? So after receiving more than 100 million funds, Xia Yu directed Wang Qi to make short-term investments. It is a pity that this amount of funds is too large. In a short period of time, only about 70 million yuan of funds have been put into the market. There are ten projects to invest in, seven projects are formulated by Xia Yu, and the other three are selected by Wang Qi himself. So far, nine of the ten projects have achieved floating profits, and one has suffered a slight loss. The one that lost money was selected by Wang Qi, and the floating profit rate of the two projects he selected ranked first among the ten projects. Seventh and ninth. From this, we can see that Wang Qi''s vision is still a long way from Xia Yu. But being able to achieve profitability is pretty good! Over the past few days, the total floating profit of these ten short-term investment projects has reached 5 million Hong Kong dollars. It spent 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars, but the floating profit has another 5 million Hong Kong dollars. With this calculation, the value of free funds has increased by 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching 117 million Hong Kong dollars. This is the charm of finance. As long as you have enough funds, coupled with a precise vision, the stock market is an ATM, and money is too easy! As for the Huijin No. 1 Fund managed by Jin Jiajun, 200 million Hong Kong dollars of funds are constantly entering the market. This fund does not use leverage. After all, the funds are already sufficient. If you want to spend it, you will have to spend a lot of money. There is no need to increase risk. Moreover, too much capital will lower the overall return on investment, resulting in damage to Xia Yu''s interests, which is not worth it. According to Jin Jiajun¡¯s report, 60 million Hong Kong dollars have been spent now, of which 30 million Hong Kong dollars have been spent on the purchase of HSBC¡¯s stock, and the holdings account for 0.25% of the total share capital. It cost 20 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the shares of Hang Seng Bank, which accounted for 0.47% of the total share capital. It cost 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, holding 0.62% of the total share capital. The stock prices of the three companies that have been bought have been rising, but the increase is not large in the short term, but it has achieved a floating profit of less than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. The remaining 140 million Hong Kong dollars is not idle, and short-term investments are being made, achieving a floating profit of more than 1 million. Adding up, it can be considered as a floating profit of 2 million. As for the Huizhong No. 1 Fund managed by Ai Lewen, the investment situation is different from that of Jin Jiajun. They should have divided the investment objects after discussion. Huizhong No. 1 Fund has spent 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 10 million Hong Kong dollars less than Jin Jiajun''s Huijin No. 1. Eleven also bought shares of HSBC, spent 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and held a 0.167% stake. The two funds only bought 50 million Hong Kong dollars in total, which has little effect on the market value of HSBC''s more than 12 billion Hong Kong dollars. Then, it cost 15 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the shares of Sun Hung Kai Properties, holding 0.86% of the total share capital. It took 15 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the shares of New World Development, and the holdings accounted for 0.926% of the total share capital. So far, these investments have achieved a floating profit of more than 600,000 yuan. And the remaining 50 million funds were invested in short-term investment, and the floating profit was also around 600,000. Together, they also earned more than 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The results are not bad! After reading it, Xia Yu smiled and said with satisfaction: "Good job, I''m very satisfied with your performance." "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Wang Qi said three people humbly. "Wang Qi, deliver all the stocks of Yangtze River Industrial Group in your hand to Jin Jiajun, and continue to execute the plan with the principal." "Jin Jiajun, after Wang Qi''s 4.9% equity is transferred to your fund, plus the 0.62% of the stock you currently hold, the total is 5.52% of the equity. After the delivery later, we will wait for the announcement tomorrow. " Xia Yu said to Wang Qi and Jin Jiajun. Wang Qi and Jin Jiajun looked at each other, then respectfully said, "Understood!" "Ailewen, the Huizhong No. 1 Fund you are in charge of. According to the original plan, 80% of the funds must be used for the investment target I set out before. You can invest the remaining 20% ??of the funds." Xia Yu looked at Ai Lewen and said. "Understood!" Ai Lewen nodded in response. "Jin Jiajun, you are in charge of twice as much capital as Ailewen. I will give you a free investment quota of 30 million Hong Kong dollars. The remaining 170 million will be invested according to the target I selected, understand?" Xia Yu looked at Jin Jiajun and said. The free investment quota is for them to exercise their abilities. Otherwise, they are all bought according to Xia Yu''s appointment. Any trader can do it. Why do they need elite talents like them? What Xia Yu needs is not a puppet, but someone who can make money for him! The stronger their abilities are honed, the greater the benefit to Xia Yu. And Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen are willing to join Jiuding Securities Company because they can grow up here. If they become puppets, they will leave sooner or later. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Ailewen''s eyes flashed with envy. After all, Jin Jiajun''s autonomy is greater than him. Although the proportion of free investment is smaller than him, he can''t bear to have twice his capital. It''s just that this envy comes and goes quickly, and he secretly made up his mind that now is just the beginning, as long as the boss sees his ability, he will naturally control more funds, and he is confident that his ability is not worse than Jin Jiajun! After they left, Wang Qi called Jin Jiajun to proceed with the stock delivery. First of all, Jin Jiajun sold some of the short-term investment stocks, and raised a little capital to make up for 81 million Hong Kong dollars. Then, 4.9% of Cheung Kong''s shares were transferred to the Huijin No. 1 fund account, and the account of Huijin No. 1 also transferred 81 million Hong Kong dollars into the account managed by Wang Qi. The 81 million Hong Kong dollars in hand and 63 million Hong Kong dollars in principal are still in the dedicated account, and will be used to continue to secretly purchase Wharf stocks. As for the remaining 18 million Hong Kong dollars in profit, it was credited to another account, and the total funds became 135 million Hong Kong dollars, and the strength rose again. Afterwards, Wang Qi and Jin Jiajun reported to Xia Yu that the delivery had been completed. In the afternoon, Xia Yu called Li Chaoren''s office... "Hey, Li Sheng, good afternoon!" "That''s it. I want to tell you something. I am optimistic about the prospects of your company. So I let my subordinates buy more stocks in your company. Although there are a lot of them, please rest assured. I''m just pure Financial investment...Yes, yes, it adds up to more than 5% of the equity...Thank you so much!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu showed a smile on his face. He had already communicated with Li Chaoren. During the phone call, Li Chaoren only expressed surprise and did not show other dissatisfaction. Instead, he thanked Xia Yu for his optimism. And although Xia Yu did not mention the board of directors, when he knew that Xia Yu had more than 5% of the equity in his hand, Li Chaoren''s natural way of nature Xia Yu''s words meant that he proposed to hold a board meeting. Welcome Xia Yu The arrival of Yu. ... On the other side, Cheung Kong Holdings, Li Chaoren''s office. Li Chaoren, who hung up , sat on a stool in deep thought, analyzing the pros and cons of Xia Yu''s entry into the board of directors. After thinking about it, he smiled. He discovered that if Xia Yu entered the board of directors, as long as he did not intervene in the company''s operations, as he said on the phone, there would still be many benefits. The most obvious thing is that Xia Yu¡¯s reputation will have an impact on the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings. As long as it is announced tomorrow, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings will definitely rise. After all, even the stock **** is very optimistic, and has invested heavily in winning a seat on the board of directors, which shows Xia Yu''s determination. Those stockholders and institutions who see the wind will definitely increase their confidence in the Cheung Kong Group. In addition, when Xia Yu joined the board of directors, the relationship between him and Xia Yu was close. The positions of Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company in Xia Yu''s hands were at least not hostile to him, and they are likely to be Favor him, this is a lot of benefits for Li Chaoren! Not only does Xia Yu want to be friends with him, but he also wants to get closer to Xia Yu. Of course he welcomes Xia Yu to join! Chapter 179: General dug by Shueisha On the second day, Jiuding Securities¡¯ holding of Cheung Kong Holdings¡¯ shares was announced, which naturally caused a heated discussion in the Xiangjiang media. Xia Yu also asked people to make an explanation in the The group is optimistic and sell Li Chaoren. As Xia Yu expected, the share price of the Yangtze River Industrial Group rose! Carrying the gift of rising stock price, in the afternoon, when Xia Yu attended the board of directors meeting of the Yangtze River Industrial Group, Li Chaoren and all shareholders at the meeting expressed a warm welcome to Xia Yu''s arrival. What was said at the meeting was not shown. Instead, Xia Yu looked forward to tomorrow''s interview. Because yesterday afternoon, Korn Ferry International notified Xia Yu again and had already selected him for the general manager of an animation company. This time there was only one person. Robert Joyce continued to explain to Xia Yu. I hope Xia Yu understands. Will strive to find other candidates. Xia Yu also understands him. After all, talents in the comics industry are really hard to find. However, when Robert Joyce provided the resume, Xia Yu felt a little expectant after reading it. This person did meet his requirements. Ma Tengdong, male, 35 years old, loves comics very much. He has been in the comics industry for 15 years. Now he is the head of a department in the island country Shueisha. According to the situation surveyed by Korn Ferry International, he is known to have climbed the highest in the island country¡¯s comics industry. Of a Chinese. Korn Ferry¡¯s survey report and Ma Tengdong¡¯s resume show that he has worked in comics creation, distribution, operations, peripheral sales and other departments, and has achieved good results. He is fully capable of assuming the position of the head of a comics company. If the situation is true, then Ma Tengdong is very suitable to serve as the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.! It¡¯s just that Xia Yu is a little curious. Why did Ma Tengdong want to resign? Is it true that, as stated in the situation analysis report provided by Korn Ferry, he was excluded from Shueisha and hopeless for promotion? Or is it another reason? Ma Tengdong didn''t write it in his resume, so he could only ask about it during the interview. However, Xia Yu has already made an appointment with Ma Tengdong. For the interview tomorrow morning, Xia Yu will still be at the memory cafe, the one where Gavin Peter was interviewed. ... Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to the cafe again, and after booking a box, he waited for Ma Tengdong''s arrival. Ma Tengdong did not let Xia Yu wait much, and came on time. After the greeting, the interview began. Xia Yu first asked him to introduce himself, show his strengths, and prove that he does possess the abilities described in his resume. Ma Tengdong was very confident. After nodding to Xia Yu, he smiled and introduced himself. "My name is Ma Tengdong..." Listening to Ma Tengdong''s self-introduction, Xia Yu nodded from time to time, and occasionally asked questions to test him. Whether a person is capable or not depends on his understanding of that aspect. In front of Xia Yu, Ma Tengdong elaborated on his views on the comics industry and his understanding of the various functional departments of the comics company. After some understanding, Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile. Ma Tengdong is really talented and has comprehensive abilities. He is indeed capable of serving as the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. After learning about Ma Tengdong''s ability, Xia Yu''s doubts in his heart became even greater. He didn''t believe that the senior executives of Shuyingshe were fools and could not see Ma Tengdong''s ability, so how could Ma Tengdong have the idea of ??quitting? "Mr. Ma, the last question, it is convenient to say why you are not willing to work in Shueisha, but come to our new company?" Xia Yu asked, after finishing speaking, he looked at Ma Tengdong closely and observed his expression. A trace of resentment flashed in Ma Tengdong¡¯s eyes. He said unwillingly, ¡°Because I offended a senior executive of Shuyingshe. His father had participated in the invasion of China, and he was also an officer. He was very hostile to the Chinese. Once I and him There was a conflict and offended him, because my ability was valued by several other senior executives. Otherwise, I would have been expelled long ago, but even if I was not expelled, I was transferred from the core creative department." "I had planned to leave before, but there was no suitable opportunity. For the sake of my family, I had to stay there until someone from Korn Ferry found me. After I got to know your company, I came! " Xia Yu''s complexion remained unchanged, but he suddenly felt that this was the reason. However, thinking of the right-wing executives of Shueisha in Ma Tengdong''s mouth, a cold light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes. In this way, he copied the comics of Shueisha, and there was no psychological burden. "Our company''s initial positioning was to hit the island country¡¯s comics market. Now you don¡¯t know our company¡¯s situation, but I look forward to one day when you lead the company to revitalize the Xiangjiang comics industry and then rush into the island country¡¯s comics market. If you want, wait. I will show you something later, I believe you will not be disappointed!" Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong sincerely and said, stood up and stretched out his hand to him. Xia Yu''s meaning is obvious. He was hired. Now it''s up to Ma Tengdong''s meaning. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Ma Tengdong recalled what he had learned about Xia Yu¡¯s strength in his mind. He nodded heavily, and said in his heart that he had gambled. Anyway, he was uncomfortable in Jiyingshe, so he might as well take a gamble. After all, Xia Yu did have This capital enters the comics industry. Then he and Xia Yu held hands together and reverently changed their words and said, "Thank you, boss." "Go, follow me to the company!" After speaking, Xia Yu took Ma Tengdong to the resident of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. After signing the employment contract, Xia Yu took Ma Tengdong to the office, and took out the planning book of the comic magazine "Zhiyin Manke", as well as the set outline and character drafts of four comics such as "Dragon Ball". before. Xia Yu wanted Ma Tengdong to have a bottom line about the company and let him know that although the company is a new company, it is definitely promising. This is to let him return to the company as soon as possible and at the same time make him more confident in the company. More enthusiasm for work. As for worrying about Ma Tengdong''s leak? Xia Yu was not worried at all, not to mention that Ma Tengdong had already signed the employment contract and was already considered his own. More importantly, Xia Yu has sent someone to register the intellectual property rights of the four comics and the "Military Manke" magazine. It is too late for Ma Tengdong to steal ideas. Xia Yu is not afraid of others stealing it. When Ma Tengdong turned it over, his eyes lit up after seeing the detailed planning book of "Milk Manke". He is a knowledgeable person, and he naturally knows the gold content of this magazine planning book. Many places have made his eyes bright, and after reading it, he already has a general judgment on a magazine planning book. This is a very mature plan, not worse than Shueisha''s "Weekly Shonen Jump". Then, he looked at the stack of manuscript paper below, and he could tell at a glance that this was a comic character. The mature and sharp style made him nod secretly. Then, he looked at the main line of the plot and quickly scanned it. The more he looked at it, the surprise in his eyes became thicker, until it turned into shock directly behind. This is the complete beginning of the four comics. Not only the plot outline, but also the characters have been set. As long as the outline is expanded, the full plot can be directly serialized. Moreover, although these four comic outlines are not finished comics, he can see something with his abilities. These four comics are not inferior to Shueisha''s comics. As long as they are drawn, they will definitely be popular. As for the extent to which they can be popular, It must be based on market feedback. At this moment, Ma Tengdong''s confidence in the empty-shell Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. surged. No, it''s not a shell company, because it already has the core things. The core of the comic company has always been only one, and that is the work! "Boss, whose masterpieces are these?" Ma Tengdong looked at Xia Yu with excitement on his face and asked. Xia Yu said with a smile: "I wrote it, how does it feel?" Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ma Tengdong was taken aback at first, but when he saw that Xia Yu was not like a joke, his eyes were full of shock. He knew that Xia Yu could write novels, and "Xun Qin Ji" was written by Xia Yu, but he did not expect the boss to actually He can also draw comics and write comic magazine planning, and his understanding of comics is not worse than him. How can this not shock him. After the shock, he was full of joy. He found that with such a powerful boss, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. seemed to have a bright future. "Do it hard, and let Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. enter the island country''s comics industry at that time. If one day, Shueisha is under the pressure, I think it will be very interesting!" Xia Yu patted Ma Tengdong on the shoulder and said with a bewildered tone. Ma Tengdong was indeed bewildered by Xia Yu''s words. There was a glimmer of longing in his eyes. He looked at Xia Yu and nodded heavily. His face was full of determination and said: "Boss, rest assured, I will not let you down!" "I have already published the recruitment information in the "Jiuding Daily", and you will be solely responsible for the recruitment at that time. The requirements are not too high, as long as you have a certain degree of painting skills." "By the way, the company has no staff now. If you want to make a comic magazine and draw four more comics, you must have enough staff. You can mobilize your contacts and dig out people from the island country comic industry." "It is best to be Chinese. If you are an island nation, you should also be an island nation who has no prejudice against China and the Chinese." "Also, do you know if you know any manga trainers, they also helped to dig them. By that time, professional training will be given to everyone in the company. The rise of the Xiangjiang comics industry must have a large number of relevant talents. Now we train one more person, right? The more we benefit, I hope you will pay attention to it!" Xia Yu told Ma Tengdong. "Don''t worry, boss, I remember, I will not let you down!" Ma Tengdong nodded his head and promised. From the boss¡¯s words, he knew the boss¡¯ ambitions, and unknowingly, he felt a lot of burden on his shoulders. He was not only the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., but also related to the rise of Xiangjiang comics industry. At this moment, he was a little bit enthusiastic. He looked forward to the day when Xiangjiang Comics could compete with the island comics and even invade the island comics. Although he knew it was difficult, he saw hope here! Chapter 180: Strong desire to survive Early on Saturday morning, Xia Yu woke up early to do Tai Chi as usual. After playing for an hour, he stood up and exhaled long breath. As soon as he entered the living room, he was surprised to find that Xia Ming and the three children were already up. He checked the time and it was only after seven o''clock in the morning. According to the usual weekend habits, they had to sleep until eight o''clock at least. It seems that they have been thinking about going to the Ocean Park to play today, and they don''t even sleep late. They really are children. As long as they have fun, they are more active than anyone. Xia Yu smiled and said. "It''s useless for you to get up so early. The opening time of Xiangjiang Ocean Park is at 10 in the morning. There are still a few hours before the opening of the Ocean Park. It will be less than 8 o''clock after breakfast. Don''t you have to wait? ?" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the three of Xia Ming were a little dumbfounded. Xia Xiaomei gave Xia Ming a white look and muttered: "Blame the second brother, for calling me up so early." Hearing his sister''s blame, Xia Ming was stunned. He looked at his sister Xia Xiaomei innocently and said, "It wasn''t you who told me before going to bed last night that you were worried and couldn''t get up. Didn''t I have to wake you up at seven? Blame me again!" "Yanhong, you testify for me. Did she tell me that I must wake her up? Otherwise, how could I get up so early? I''m so sleepy, so I set the alarm clock so early. " Seeing the smile at the corner of his brother Xia Yu''s mouth, Xia Ming hurriedly looked at Yanhong and asked him to testify. Yan Hong just wanted to speak, but saw Xia Xiaomei look at him faintly. He swallowed and swallowed the words back. He didn''t dare to look at Xia Ming, and said with erratic eyes: "I can''t remember." Seeing that Yanhong did not testify to himself, Xia Ming was dumbfounded. He looked at his somewhat proud younger sister. A sense of powerlessness surged in Xia Ming''s heart. He gave up resisting, shrugged, and said with an impeccable expression. : "Well, I''m all to blame." "I originally blamed you!" Xia Xiaomei snorted, her little face full of joy, as if she was proud of winning Xia Ming again. "Women are unreasonable..." Xia Ming murmured. "Second brother, what are you talking about?" Xia Xiaomei''s ears were very good. Hearing Xia Ming''s complaint, she stared at Xia Ming and said. "Nothing, I said you are beautiful!" Xia Ming, who had a strong desire to survive, immediately replied seriously. "It''s pretty much the same. People are very beautiful." Xia Xiaomei said with a smile. Xia Ming rolled his eyes helplessly. Yan Hong, who was watching the battle silently, couldn''t help but laugh, but when he saw Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei looking at him, he held back his laugh, and looked at the ceiling as if he could see the flowers. After watching the wonderful scene of the three of Xia Ming, Xia Yu smiled helplessly. They were all ghosts and ghosts. For such a long time, I don¡¯t know how many times this joyful scene has happened. Xia Yu watched it with gusto every time, and he didn¡¯t stop it. He knew it was a squabbling by his younger brothers and sisters, and they also knew how It really fought, but almost every time this kind of fight ended with Xia Ming''s defeat and Xia Xiaomei''s victory. But Xia Ming just couldn''t help it, knowing that he would lose, but still did not give up the fight. "Stop playing, you guys come over for breakfast." At this moment, mother Chen Mei came out of the kitchen with two stacks of dumplings and shouted to Xia Yu and others. "Wow, eat dumplings!" Seeing that they were dumplings, several children were surprised and cheered and rushed to the table. Sure enough, it is a carefree age, where you can reap happiness! Xia Yu smiled and called Yan Shining to have breakfast together. a long time¡­¡­ After eating breakfast, and resting for a while, another honest-looking middle-aged man walked in. "Master, master, good morning!" He nodded and greeted Xia Yu and others. His name is Xie Pingan. He is 40 years old this year. He is a full-time driver hired by Xia Yu some time ago. He has been driving and soliciting goods for others before. His driving skills are very skilled and he drives very steadily. Xia Yu also asked Xie Pingan''s foundation to be investigated, but no problems were found. Some time ago, Xia Yu bought a car again, just to take his siblings to school and take his parents out. After buying the car, Xia Yu hired Xie Pingan. Because of the good treatment and easy work, I only need to drive Xia''s family during the day, and Xia Dahai, Chen Mei and others are very kind to him, so Xie Pingan cherishes this job very much. I don¡¯t know what Xie Ping¡¯an thinks. I called Master Xia Dahai and Miss Xia Ming Xia Xiaomei. Xia Dahai, who was born in poverty, was very uncomfortable, but apart from this, I don¡¯t know what to call it, Xia Yu There was no objection, and I kept calling like this in the end. After so long, the Xia family is also used to it. Xia Yu didn''t object, because sooner or later Xia Yu would build the Xia family into a wealthy family. Sooner or later there would be such a staffing. It is better to let the parents and others adapt first. After eating breakfast, I watched TV for another hour or two at home. The time finally reached 9:40. Seeing that it was late, Xia Yu was about to leave. "Mom and dad, let''s go shopping together." Xia Yu said to Xia Dahai and others. "I won''t go. I have been struggling at sea for decades. If I haven''t seen anything, I won''t go." Xia Dahai shook his head and said. "I''m not going either. I''ll stay with your dad at home. You can just go out to play, you must pay attention to safety." Chen Mei looked at Xia Yu and others kindly, and exhorted. Xia Yu nodded and expressed his understanding. After all, his parents had been earning a living at sea for decades. What attracted them to Ocean Park? Although there are other amusement facilities, adults are really less interested in these. "We should not eat at home at noon today. Mom and Dad, if you are willing to cook, you can cook it yourself. If you don''t want to cook, there is a phone book on the table. Xia Yu said. "Okay, you don''t have to worry about eating, go ahead and have fun." Xia Dahai said. "Goodbye mom and dad!" "Goodbye!" ... When they arrived at the door, after a few children bid farewell to Xia Dahai and others, they all got into Xia Yu''s car. Xia Yu was in the co-pilot, with all three children in the back row. If the parents would go, let Xie Ping''an drive along. Since the parents would not go, there is no need. Then, the car started and drove outside. The Hong Kong Ocean Park is not in the Kowloon area, but on the smaller Hong Kong Island, located in Wong Chuk Hang in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. The Ocean Park was built with donations from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and managed by the Jockey Club. Opened on January 10, 1977, it is a theme park integrating sea and land animals, mobile games and large-scale performances. In the first half of its opening, the Ocean Park has more than 1.31 million visitors. There is a very important reason why so many people can come to play. Xiangjiang in this era is too short of entertainment places and facilities, especially playgrounds suitable for children. There was a lychee garden before, but it took too long and I got tired of playing. There was a more luxurious ocean park, and people naturally wanted to visit it. It is for this reason that the business is so hot. Seeing the popularity of Xiangjiang Ocean Park, it really robbed his own business, and Qiu Degen, the tycoon of the Far East Group, was completely anxious. His Lychee Garden was actually the first amusement park in Xiangjiang. It was completed in 1949. It not only has a children¡¯s playground and a zoo, but also has a large theater performance area with acrobatics, magic, singing, etc. A super queen, Mei Yanfang, walked out of the singing theater in Litchi Garden. Knowing that this market is so profitable, Qiu Degen is naturally unwilling to be robbed of the business by Ocean Park. Therefore, at the beginning of the construction of Haiyan Park, he once again expanded a piece of land of 500,000 square feet from the back of the Litchi Garden to build an ancient costume cultural city. , Which is later Songcheng. It''s a pity that Qiu Degen''s strength cannot be compared with the Xiangjiang Jockey Club. Ocean Park has opened, and Songcheng has not yet been constructed. According to history, it will not be able to open until 1979 next year. Only one year later, a large part of Litchi Garden¡¯s business was robbed of Ocean Park, and another year has to be spent. It is estimated that Qiu Degen is in the mood at this time! Just as Xia Yu was thinking, the car finally arrived at the parking lot of Xiangjiang Ocean Park. PS: You understand. . Chapter 181: Zhong Chuhong and mother and daughter 2 After parking the car, Xia Yu and Yan Shining took Xia Ming, Xia Xiaomei and Yan Hong to the ticket booth. Although they have not yet entered the park, all the large-scale amusement facilities in the park can be seen outside the park, and the faces of the three children are full of excited and expectant smiles. "Go, buy a ticket first!" With a wave of Xia Yu, he walked to the ticket office with a few lively little kids. When he came to the ticket office, Xia Yu found a ticket window with few people, and there was a line in front of him. After a while, the person in front took the tickets and left. Xia Yu took out his wallet and said to the conductor: "Miss, here are five tickets, two adult tickets, and three children''s tickets." After speaking, Xia Yu handed the money to the counter. "Okay, first... sir!" The conductor was a very young beautiful girl. She raised her head to look at Xia Yu, but found that Xia Yu was not obviously a teenager, but she still called Mr. Xia Yu politely. Xia Yu was a little surprised when she saw the front face of the pretty girl conductor. I saw her round face revealing youthful rosy, and there are two obvious dimples at the corners of her mouth. Her long black and bright hair is somewhat fluffy and naturally curly. At this time, she is wearing a lady''s work suit with a white shirt inside, which looks very pure. Pretty. Looking at it again, Xia Yu felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. After thinking about it, he should have no impression. Then it could only be seen in a previous life. So this beautiful girl should be a person with a certain reputation. Xia Yu was a little curious. He found that the beautiful girl had a sign on her chest. Without thinking about it, Xia Yu looked over. "Zhong Chuhong?" The moment he saw the name, Xia Yu was a little surprised, and then looked at Zhong Chuhong''s side face, the image in front of him overlapped with the image in his previous life. Unexpectedly, it was really her, and met her at the Ocean Park ticket office! She has seen many movies Xia Yu played in her previous life. It can be said that Xia Yu is one of the few actresses that Xia Yu rarely remembers, leaving a deep impression in his mind. Only this time, the image was completely different from that in the movie, so Xia Yu didn''t recognize it for a while. "Well, sir, you still have change on your ticket, I wish you a happy playing!" Zhong Chuhong picked up five tickets and the change he had found, said to Xia Yu with a sweet smile, and handed the tickets to Xia Yu. "Thank you!" Xia Yu smiled slightly. "You''re welcome!" Zhong Chuhong answered politely. "Minmin, we didn''t bring enough money, so next time my mother has enough money to bring you over again, okay?" Just when Xia Yu wanted to leave, he heard the comforting voice of a mother beside him. Xia Yu couldn''t help but looked over, and saw that it was a middle-aged woman passing by. From the simple dress, it can be seen that her life is not rich. At this time she was squatting down and talking softly to a little girl about ten years old. The little girl should be her daughter. Despite her young age, she was very cute. She was wearing a pink dress and her skin was very fair, like a porcelain. Like a doll, Xia Yu has never seen such a beautiful little girl, as if she came out of a painting. I saw the little girl reluctantly retracted her gaze from the rides, nodded obediently, gently stroked her mother''s face, and said comfortingly: "Mom, don''t waste money. I don''t like going to amusement parks." Hearing her daughter¡¯s words, the middle-aged woman felt sore. The husband divorced her when her daughter was still young. She raised her daughter by herself. Fortunately, the daughter was very well-behaved and understanding. She knew the difficulties in the family, so she never cried. I want this and that. Even if you see something you like, you just look at it and leave in silence. As it is now, although I really want to go to the Ocean Park, it comforts her. While feeling gratified, she also deeply blamed herself, that she always couldn''t find a stable job and couldn''t give her daughter a better life. Seeing the mother and daughter being considerate to each other, Xia Yu was a little moved. Without even thinking about it, he said to Zhong Chuhong again: "Give me two more tickets, one adult ticket and one child ticket." With that said, Xia Yu took out the money and handed it to Zhong Chuhong. The picture just now was also seen by Zhong Chuhong, because her family was also relatively poor, and she was the eldest sister in the family, and she had no entertainment when she was young, and because of family factors, she couldn¡¯t get what she wanted, so she could only think about it silently. So seeing this scene, she feels more. Seeing Xia Yu''s actions, she knew that Xia Yu bought it for the mother and daughter. In an instant, Zhong Chuhong had a great impression of Xia Yu. She smiled sweetly and said, "Please wait!" After that, she quickly issued the ticket, and then gave the ticket to Xia Yu before she was ready to find money. "Xiaomei, you go and give the tickets to that aunt and sister, and then come back quickly." Xia Yu handed the ticket to his sister, and then said to her. Xia Xiaomei is the most suitable ticket to go, let alone make the mother and daughter wary. Xia Xiaomei nodded obediently, and after receiving the two tickets, she ran towards the mother and daughter who got up and wanted to leave. "Auntie, wait!" Xia Xiaomei shouted as she ran. The middle-aged woman felt like she was calling her. She turned her head and looked at the little girl running towards her. She stopped and asked with a gentle smile, "Little sister, are you calling me?" "Auntie, my brother asked me to give this to you. Goodbye, Auntie!" Throwing the ticket into the hand of the middle-aged woman, Xia Xiaomei said with a smile, and before the middle-aged woman refused, she waved goodbye and ran back. The middle-aged woman was still a little confused. She looked at the ticket in her hand and was shocked that it turned out to be the ticket to Ocean Park. She looked in the direction Xia Xiaomei ran in a little astonished. "Sir, you are so kind!" When Zhong Chuhong handed the change to Xia Yu again, he said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "It''s all about the effort." "I go first." Seeing the middle-aged woman walking towards this side, Xia Yu knew it was time to go, otherwise the middle-aged woman might return the ticket to him, and Xia Yu took Xia Ming and others to prepare to leave. Before leaving, he said to Zhong Chuhong: "By the way, you are beautiful!" After speaking, he took Xia Ming and others to leave, leaving only Zhong Chuhong, who was a little dazed and blushed. Looking back at Xia Yu''s back, Zhong Chuhong suddenly reacted, she was slapped, she stroked her hair gently, and said shyly: "When I look younger, I am younger than me. Pretend to be an adult, kid..." "However, he seems to have a good heart, and he is quite handsome..." Smiling, as if thinking of something, Zhong Chuhong''s face suddenly darkened, and he shook his head slightly, withdrawing his mind to continue working. At this moment, the middle-aged woman ran over, took the ticket and handed it to Zhong Chuhong and said, "This lady, can you help return the ticket to that kind little girl, we don''t need it." Seeing that the middle-aged woman looked a little anxious, and saw that Xia Yu was gone at the gate of the park, he should have been in the park. No wonder the middle-aged woman came here. Zhong Chuhong smiled and said, "Auntie, just take it and take your daughter in to play. The gentleman is not short of money, and the tickets have already been bought, there is no way to refund, and it will be wasted if you don¡¯t use it. If you want to thank you, you will find them in the park." Zhong Chuhong gave a panic. In fact, the ticket can still be refunded, but in order for the little girl to have a good experience, she chose to tell this white lie. She also envied the little girl, because she had never entered the Xiangjiang Ocean Park before, and she was only a temporary worker and was not qualified to go in, and she had no money, so she could only envy others to go in and play. Upon hearing Zhong Chuhong''s words, the middle-aged woman looked at the two tickets in her hand, and then at her daughter. She knew she could only accept Xia Yu''s kindness. Just thinking that she couldn''t afford it, but got the help of others, she couldn''t help but blame herself even more while being grateful. "Minmin, after we go in, we must find the gentleman and the young lady who sent us the tickets, and personally say thank you to them, okay?" The middle-aged woman lowered her head and said to her daughter. She originally wanted to refuse to educate her daughter not to take other people''s things, but now that she can''t refuse, she can only find Xia Yu to say thank you in person. If she can''t teach her daughter not to take other people''s things, then teach her daughter how to be grateful. "Yeen, Mom, I will definitely thank them!" The little girl said seriously, her little face full of sincerity. The middle-aged woman smiled lovingly, touched her daughter''s hair, then stood up and said to Zhong Chuhong, "Thank you!" "No thanks, Auntie, you guys go in quickly, I wish you a happy day!" Zhong Chuhong said with a sweet smile. Seeing the middle-aged woman and her daughter walking towards the ticket gate of the park, Zhong Chuhong couldn''t help but smile, as if feeling, envy, and longing... ... Not long after Xia Yu entered, another luxury car drove into the parking lot of Ocean Park, and then two girls and two bodyguards got out of the car. If Xia Yu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it, and one of them was wearing a suet jade Maitreya Buddha pendant, He Chaoqiong. Then, He Chaoqiong came to the ticket office with his friends and two bodyguards, which happened to be Zhong Chuhong''s window. "Miss, give us four tickets, thank you!" ... Let¡¯s talk about Xia Yu and the others who have already entered the park, looking at the tour guide map in their hands, marking the route and the location of each scenic spot. "Where do you want to play first?" Xia Yu asked Xia Ming and others. "I''m going to ride the Ferris wheel first." "There are bumper cars, I''m going to ride the bumper cars first." "I want to see the dolphins first..." The three of them all expressed their opinions After speaking, they fell silent and looked at each other, staring at each other. Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, so he shouldn''t ask, and it would cause trouble. "Well, don''t fight with any of you, rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins will listen first." Before they were about to quarrel, Xia Yu made a decision directly, no one was partial, winning or losing had nothing to say. "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Yeah, I won, go ride the Ferris wheel first!" Seeing the cloth they made, Xia Ming and Yanhong made stones, Xia Xiaomei cheered, leaving behind two helpless little boys. "Okay, go and ride the Ferris wheel first!" Xia Yu smiled, and then led everyone towards the Ferris wheel. Chapter 182: 3 women and 1 play Soon, Xia Yu led everyone to the front of the Ferris wheel''s entertainment facilities. Amidst the cheers of the children, a group of people all went to the same observation box. Xia Yu naturally followed, after all, he did not sit on this thing in his previous life, and lived a life in his previous life. Not only did he have no money, but also no girlfriend, how would he think of riding a Ferris wheel. This time, after sitting on it, the Ferris wheel began to spin. I have to say that looking at the outside scenery through the glass window is really spectacular and beautiful, especially the entire Xiangjiang Ocean Park is built on the beach, and the Ferris wheel is very close to the sea. , Looking at this place, naturally it has a special flavor. After riding the Ferris wheel, Xia Yu took Xia Ming and others to play bumper cars. Then, there is a climbing elevator to watch various wild animals, such as lions, tigers, bears, rhinos and so on. Along the way, the three children kept screaming and laughing, making Xia Yu''s mood unconsciously relaxed. The children were a little tired from walking, so Xia Yu took Xia Ming and others to the rest area to take a rest. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the rest area, a surprise sound suddenly came. "Xia Yu, why are you here?" Just when Xia Yu was about to look back and follow his reputation, a fragrant breeze hit, and he saw a pure and beautiful girl in a long skirt in front of him. Isn''t He Chaoqiong or who? "Chao Qiong, you are here too, good noon!" "I brought my brothers and sisters over to play, look, just a few of them." Xia Yu said, pointing to the few kids who were quieting down beside him. "Don''t you say hello to your sister? Introduce yourself?" Seeing Xia Ming and his group''s eyes widened, looking back and forth beside Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu was a little embarrassed, then stared at them and said. "Hello sister! This is Xia Ming." "Hello, sister, I am my brother''s younger sister, my name is Xia Xiaomei, you are so beautiful!" "Hello sister, my name is Yanhong." The three children rushed to say. He Chaoqiong''s beautiful eyes curled up and smiled happily: "Hello, my name is He Chaoqiong, and I am a friend of your brother." "Chao Qiong, who did you come with? Didn''t your brother come?" Xia Yu looked next to He Chaoqiong, only to find the two black bodyguards behind her and a quiet girl next to He Chaoqiong. Other than that, there seemed to be no other family members around her. "Yeen, my brother didn''t come, and I still have my classmates here today." He Chaoqiong nodded and said, and then happily pointed at the girl beside him, and introduced to Xia Yu: "By the way, Xia Yu, this is my classmate Zhao Xia, my good friend!" "Zhao Xia, this is Xia Yu, my good friend!" He Chaoqiong introduced to Zhao Xia. Hearing He Chaoqiong''s words, Zhao Xia didn''t see anything outside. Instead, she blinked her eyes to look at Xia Yu, then looked at He Chaoqiong, blurted out, "Is this the Xia Yu who gave you the pendant? So you are talking about him. , Really is a pretty boy!" As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly changed. He Chaoqiong blushed, and grabbed Zhao Xia who wanted to say more. She glanced at Xia Yu and found that Xia Yu was still smiling. She breathed a sigh of relief. Slightly lost. In fact, Xia Yu was also a bit embarrassed, but after all he had a thick skin and a strong heart, and he could still keep his face unchanged. It''s just that Xia Ming''s eyes rolled around, and he looked at the suet jade pendant on He Chaoqiong''s chest, and then at his brother, showing a slight smile, and then he immediately lowered his head for fear of being spotted by his brother. "By the way, Chao Qiong, what are you doing now?" The best way to resolve the embarrassment is to find a new topic, Xia Yu asked. Sure enough, after hearing Xia Yu''s words, even though He Chaoqiong''s cheeks were still red, she was calmer and smiled again, saying: "We are going to take a rest and buy an ice cream. We will see you before we enter the door." "That''s a coincidence, we also came to rest, let''s go, don''t stand at the door, let''s go in together." Xia Yu said with a smile, and then invited her in. "Yes!" He Chaoqiong nodded, and then followed Xia Yu and the others in. As soon as you enter the rest area, you can see many food stalls besides the stools. Because it is already noon, it is very lively, there are people everywhere, and there are some children crying and shouting among the laughter. Then, He Chaoqiong ran to the ice cream shop next to him, then looked back at Xia Yu, and asked happily, "Xia Yu, what kind of flavor would you like to eat?" Xia Yu wanted to say no, but seeing the look in He Chaoqiong''s expectant eyes, he smiled and said, "Original." "Yeah!" He Chaoqiong nodded happily. Then he looked at Xia Xiaomei and others, and asked, "Xiaomei, what kind of flavour do you want?" Xia Xiaomei and the others did not answer. Instead, they looked at Xia Yu together. Xia Yu smiled and said to them: "Go ahead, talk to Sister Chaoqiong if you want to eat anything." With Xia Yu''s approval, several children suddenly showed smiles and ran over, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head behind. A little bit of food, if you see He Chaoqiong, it will appear that he is not enough. "Here, Xia Yu, your ice cream!" Soon, a few children took an ice cream, He Chao walked over with each hand and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it over and said with a smile, "Thank you!" "It tastes great!" In the eyes of He Chaoqiong''s expectation, Xia Yu took a bite and exclaimed. He Chaoqiong suddenly smiled happier, and Zhao Xia beside her couldn''t help covering her mouth and chuckling. The gaze towards He Chaoqiong was even more meaningful. "Come on, let''s go sit here." Then, Xia Yu and others came to the bench and sat down, eating ice cream and chatting. "Sister Chaoqiong, are you dating my brother?" Xia Xiaomei, who was licking the ice cream, suddenly heard the second brother Xia Ming''s whisper, her eyes widened, and then she wandered back and forth on her elder brother Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong with scrutinizing eyes, and then curiously asked He Chaoqiong. As soon as she said this, Zhao Xia couldn''t help but laugh first, feeling that Xia Xiaomei was too cute. But Xia Ming looked anxious. He didn''t expect that he had just asked his sister to keep it secret, and in a blink of an eye, his sister told him that the eldest brother Xia Yu would definitely put the account on him. Sure enough, Xia Ming saw his elder brother raise his brows and looked at him like a sharp sword. He groaned in his heart and looked at his sister Xia Xiaomei full of sadness. This sister who sells brother! Except for everyone, the person who reacted most was He Chaoqiong. She seemed to be called to break the secret in her heart. She was a little panicked, her pretty face was full of blush, and she looked at Xia Yu reflexively, and her eyes coincided with Xia Yu, as if the secret in her heart was discovered by Xia Yu. , She panicked even more, like a frightened deer. Of course, He Chaoqiong did not forget to defend herself. She blushed and said to Xia Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, no, no, don''t talk nonsense." "But why did this sister just say that your pendant was given by my brother? It''s really beautiful! Sister, you look good on it!" Xia Xiaomei was young and didn''t understand these things. Instead, she looked at the mutton jade pendant on He Chaoqiong''s chest and asked curiously again. "This...this..." He Chaoqiong was even more upset, because he was shy, completely lost his calmness, and didn''t know how to explain. Xia Yu gave a squeak in his heart. It seemed that He Chaoqiong really liked him, which made him a little dumbfounded. But he also knew that the girl was thin-skinned, so let He Chaoqiong calm down before talking, besides, it was all made by his younger siblings. "Xiaomei, you can''t stop your mouth if you have something to eat? Do you want to come out to play next time?" Xia Yu said to Xia Xiaomei with a serious expression, and then gave Xia Ming a stare, causing Xia Ming''s neck to shrink. Seeing her brother''s serious expression, Xia Xiaomei realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, but she didn''t know what was wrong. But it doesn''t matter, as long as you know that your brother seems a little angry. She blinked her eyes, gave a pitiful cry, and continued to lick the ice cream in her hand. "Chao Qiong, don''t be surprised, my sister is like this, she always likes to guess and talk nonsense, I''m really embarrassed." Xia Yu apologized to He Chaoqiong with an apologetic face. Xia Xiaomei, who was eating ice cream, was a little bit unconvinced when she heard her brother''s words, and wanted to argue, but thought that her brother was angry and might really not take her to play. The courage she had gathered disappeared without a trace in a moment, so she still ate ice cream. Come on. He Chaoqiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head, showing a still shy smile and said: "It''s okay, Xiaomei is so innocent and cute, don''t blame her." After speaking, He Chaoqiong smiled at Xia Xiaomei, making Xia Xiaomei smile. The embarrassment was slightly resolved, Xia Yu found another topic and started talking, and the blush on He Chaoqiong''s face slowly subsided. However, talking and chatting, what made Xia Yu a little dumbfounded was that He Chaoqiong and Xia Xiaomei seemed to be chatting very much Not long after, Xia Xiaomei directly called He Chaoqiong and Zhao Xia to her eldest sister. It''s so sweet. Is it really just three women in one scene? Xia Yu secretly thought, but he didn''t understand, women, no matter how old they are, they don''t know what their brain circuits are like. After resting for a while, feeling hungry, Xia Yu took everyone to lunch, and by the way also invited He Chaoqiong and the others. He Chaoqiong naturally agreed and quickly agreed. After a delicious meal, the few children couldn''t wait to play again. They didn''t seem to know what tiredness was. Fortunately, after practicing Tai Chi, Xia Yu has been energetic all day, even if he does not rest at noon, he still does not feel tired. Since these little kids don''t care, it doesn''t matter to him. If you want to play, please have fun with them. After discussion, Xia Yu took them to the Ocean Theater in the middle of the mountain where there was a performance of marine animals. Chapter 183: Little Lolita turned out to be her? ! ! When he first arrived on the mountain and wanted to enter the Ocean Performance Hall, Xia Yu felt a little surprised that he actually met the mother and daughter before. "Mom, it''s a kind sister." Hearing her daughter''s words, she followed her fingers and looked over. The middle-aged woman happened to see Xia Yu''s group. She recognized it immediately and took her daughter to walk quickly. "Master and lady, thank you for the tickets you gave us!" The middle-aged woman said gratefully. "Thank you, big brother and sister." The porcelain doll-like little Lolita said sweetly, her voice was very soft and sweet, which made everyone feel good about her. He Chaoqiong squatted down happily and looked at Little Lori, and said in surprise: "What a lovely little sister." "Sister, you are so beautiful!" Little Lolita''s mouth was very sweet, and Shu Lingling''s big eyes were bent into crescent moons, and said sweetly. He Chaoqiong''s smile was even brighter when she heard Xiao Lolita''s words. "The mouth is so sweet and so cute, it must be very likable in the future." He Chaoqiong scraped Xiao Lori''s Xiao Qiong nose with his fingers, and said lovingly. Little Lolita''s mother also saw He Chaoqiong''s exchange with her daughter, with a smile on her face. "Auntie, it''s okay, don''t take it to heart." Xia Yu smiled and said to the middle-aged woman. "No, this young master, it cost you money. I will pay you back the money. This money is definitely not enough. I will pay you back next time I earn it." The middle-aged woman was a little anxious on her face. Although she didn''t give up, she still took out a handful of change from her pocket and wanted to give Xia Yu. How could Xia Yu ask for it? Seeing this handful of change, he was even more sure that the middle-aged woman¡¯s family was in dire straits. He pushed the middle-aged woman¡¯s hand back and said, ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t take it seriously, I said. I am not short of money, you keep the money and buy more clothes and daily necessities for your daughter, okay?" He Chaoqiong also heard a general idea, knowing that Xia Yu helped them buy the tickets, which made Xia Yu''s impression in her heart even better. She also knew that Xia Yu was not bad, so she helped Xia Yu persuade: "Auntie, just keep it, your daughter is so cute, take her for fun." Hearing He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu both say this, the middle-aged woman nodded hesitantly, but the gratitude on her face became stronger. "Little sister, tell my sister, what is your name?" He Chaoqiong looked at the little Lolita and asked. Little Lori looked at her mother first. "Minmin, introduce yourself to this sister." The middle-aged woman said encouragingly to her daughter. "Sister, my name is Zhou Huimin and my nickname is Minmin. I am 11 years old this year." Little Lori said crisply. "Zhou Huimin, a nice name, smart and sensitive, he must be very promising when he grows up." He Chaoqiong smiled and exclaimed, and Xiao Lori Zhou Huimin showed a sweet and lovely smile. And Xia Yu, who was standing by the side, was stunned when he heard the name of Little Lolita, and then looked at Little Lolita carefully, and found that she was indeed the same model as the jade lady head of the previous life, but it was now shrunk. Version only. After recognizing it, Xia Yu was a little stunned. What a coincidence, when he met Zhong Chuhong at the door to buy a ticket, he helped out, and it turned out to be Zhou Huimin and her mother. Is he lucky? Or is the star of Xiangjiang ruined? "Auntie, are you also watching the marine animal show? Let''s go in together?" Xia Yu glanced at Zhou Huimin again, then retracted his gaze and said to Zhou Mu. Although Zhou Huimin will be a star in the future, Xia Yu¡¯s current status and status are completely different from his previous life, and his mentality of seeing people and things has also changed. The star is the same for him. If he is willing, he is now fully capable of finding dozens of hundreds. A star came to his eyes to let him see. What''s more, the little loli who has not yet become a star, just look at it with her heart! "Yeah, Minmin said that I wanted to see the little dolphin, so I brought her up, and I met you, masters. I searched for a long time in the morning and didn''t find it." Zhou Mu quickly replied. "Let''s go, the show is about to begin, let''s go in together, it just happens that we, many children, let your daughter have a company together." Xia Yu suggested. Mother Zhou nodded quickly. She has a soft personality and doesn''t know how to reject people. What''s more, she didn''t refuse in front of people who helped her. "Let''s go!" "Little sister, come with the sisters." Then, Xia Yu and others walked into the Ocean Theater, and there were two more members in the team. When they came to the theater, Xia Yu and others sat aside, Yan Shining and He Chaoqiong¡¯s two bodyguards sat on both sides, while Zhou Huimin¡¯s mother was on the left and He Chaoqiong on the right. For some reason, He Chaoqiong liked little Lori Zhou Huimin. In addition to He Chaoqiong, Xia Xiaomei always talks to the little Lori Zhou Huimin, and obviously likes her very much, always teasing Zhou Huimin with her eldest sister. Halfway through, Xia Yu also chatted with Zhou Mu and learned about Zhou Huimin''s home. It turned out that Zhou''s mother was named Li Qiuhua. When Zhou Huimin was not born, her father died unexpectedly and was raised by Li Qiuhua alone. She has to take care of her daughter again, and Li Qiuhua has to work outside to make money, but because of her weakness, she can¡¯t do heavy work, and she has to cook for her daughter, which leads to unstable work. She often has to change jobs or get fired after working for a while. She lost her job again a few days ago. Today, she just went to find someone to find out and wanted to find another job. Knowing the situation in Zhou Huimin''s home, Xia Yu was very emotional, and he never thought that the jade lady head of the previous life had such a difficult life when she was young. In the chat, Xia Yu also told her her name in several inquiries from Zhou''s mother. After watching the wonderful performance, it was already past four in the afternoon, Xia Yu also planned to go back, He Chaoqiong and Zhou Mu also planned to go out together. When he left the Ocean Park, Xia Yu looked at the ticket office reflexively and found Zhong Chuhong was still there. Feeling that someone was looking at him, Zhong Chuhong raised his head and looked over. He happened to see Xia Yu and also Zhou Huimin''s mother and daughter. She knew that Zhou Huimin''s mother and daughter had found Xia Yu and others inside. She smiled at Xia Yu, Xia Yu also smiled back, and then looked away. All of this happened to be seen by He Chaoqiong. She couldn''t help but look at Zhong Chuhong and found that it was the young and beautiful girl who sold her tickets. She curled her lips secretly and remembered the one that was more beautiful at the auction. The beautiful girl, a strong sense of crisis lingers in her heart. Looking at Xia Yu, who seemed unconscious, his handsome sunny profile and the fatal smile at the corner of his mouth, He Chaoqiong knew that Xia Yu''s attraction to girls was very strong, which made her very uneasy. It''s just that she is not Xia Yu, and she can''t control it. Silently lowered her head and looked at the suet jade pendant on her chest, she couldn''t help holding it, and she felt much better. Just before the separation, Xia Yu took out a business card and handed it to Zhou¡¯s mother Li Qiuhua, and said in her puzzled eyes: ¡°Auntie, our company still lacks an employee to do cleaning. The work is not heavy. You can leave work before, and the salary is more than two hundred Hong Kong dollars a month. You can come to work tomorrow with my business card. The location is on the business card." "Auntie, goodbye!" "Minmin, goodbye!" Xia Yu touched Zhou Huimin''s little head and said with a smile to her. "Minmin, let my sister have time to play!" Xia Xiaomei invited Zhou Huimin, her expression a bit sad. One afternoon, Xia Xiaomei fell in love with this cute little sister who looked like a porcelain doll. At this time, she was a little bit sad when she separated. "Goodbye Minmin!" "Goodbye brother and sister!" Zhou Huimin showed a sweet smile and waved goodbye to Xia Yu and others. Watching Xia Yu and the others leave, Li Qiuhua''s eyes were a little moist while holding her daughter. She looked at the business card in her hand. She believed that Xia Yu didn''t need to lie to her. She really met a kind person. "Minmin, today we met good people. Big brothers and sisters are all good people." Mother Zhou said to her daughter, her tone a little emotional. "Mom, big brothers and sisters are really good, can I still play with them in the future?" Zhou Huimin blinked and said. Li Qiuhua opened her mouth and felt sore in her heart. Because there was no one to take care of her daughter, she was not at all assured that her daughter would go out alone. She was locked at home since she was a child, which caused her daughter to have no friends since she was a child. "There is still a chance in the future! But Minmin must be obedient!" Li Qiuhua looked at the business card in her hand and made a decision in her heart. She said to her daughter with a kind smile. "En, Min Min will definitely listen to her mother obediently!" Zhou Huimin cleverly pointed her head and said. ... On the other side, Xia Yu and others who came to the parking lot were about to bid farewell. "Chao Qiong, we''re going back first, so you should go back quickly." Xia Yu said to He Chaoqiong. "Ok!" He Chaoqiong nodded silently, his expression a little lost. "Sister Chao Qiong, will you come to our house to play some time later, since I moved, I haven''t had many friends!" Xia Xiaomei took He Chaoqiong''s hand and said reluctantly. He Chaoqiong showed a sweet smile, touched Xia Xiaomei''s face, and said, "Okay, I will definitely find you to play at that time. You can call me when you have time. My home phone number is..." "Okay, okay, sister, my home phone number is... you have to remember, you have to call me!" ... Seeing He Chaoqiong''s closeness with his sister, Xia Yu was a little bit emotional. How could his sister talk with He Chaoqiong? Or is she so short of friends? Xia Yu, who couldn''t figure it out, could only shook his head no longer bother. Then, Xia Yu''s group got into the car, and after parting with He Chaoqiong and the others, the car drove home. Watching Xia Yu leave in the car, He Chaoqiong held the pendant on his chest, with a smile on his face unknowingly. "Hey, Chao Qiong, it looks like you are very entertaining? He looks so sunny and beautiful. If you don''t hurry up, you will be snatched away by other women." Zhao Xia pushed He Chaoqiong and said with a smile. "Nonsense, I didn''t like him, so hurry up in the car and go home!" He Chaoqiong quibbleed with some shame, and then pulled her into the car. "I didn''t say you like him, you said so yourself..." "You still said that I would ignore you..." Chapter 184: Pick the name of the new newspaper The next day, when Xia Yu first arrived at Jiuding Newspaper Company, he was informed by Yan Wenhan that a cleaning aunt came from the company and said that he came with his business card. Yan Wenhan had already arranged work for her on his own initiative. "Yes, I asked her to come, you did a good job!" Xia Yu said with a smile, confirming what Yan Wenhan did. Then, Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan talked about her family''s situation, and asked Yan Wenhan to tell the staff not to embarrass her deliberately. Yan Wenhan nodded to express his knowledge. "By the way, where is she now?" Xia Yu asked. "Boss, she should be cleaning the stairs now, and I can''t stop me, saying that I want to wait until you come, but she has been cleaning all the time, very positive." Yan Wenhan said helplessly. Xia Yu laughed and said, "Haha, let me go and have a look. You will be busy with you first." After speaking, Xia Yu walked towards the stairs, and soon saw Zhou Mu Li Qiuhua''s somewhat rickety figure in the third floor stairwell. "Auntie Li, good morning!" Xia Yu smiled and walked over to say hello. Hearing the familiar voice, Li Qiuhua immediately raised his head. After seeing Xia Yu, he smiled a little humble and gratefully and said, "Hello Master! Thank you Master!" "Aunt Li, don''t call my young master, it''s not very good. I am the boss of this company. You can call my boss like everyone else." Xia Yu said quickly. It is indeed inappropriate to call him master in the company. Of course, he did not artificially ask Li Qiuhua to call his name, because it was also inappropriate, and Li Qiuhua would definitely not dare to call his name directly. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Li Qiuhua was taken aback, and then she realized that she was going to be bad. She thought that the one who put her to work before was the boss, but she did not expect that the boss of this big company was Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn¡¯t explain to her yesterday. , She didn''t expect it at all. At this moment, she was even more grateful to Xia Yu. She bowed deeply to Xia Yu and said, "Thank you boss for helping me, thank you!" With that said, thinking about the experience of being fired for so many years, and comparing the current situation again, this made her feel mixed, and secretly decided that she must work hard in the future to repay Xia Yu. "It''s okay, Auntie, I''m not helping you either. It just happens that the company lacks an employee, and I didn''t hire it before. It happened that you came, and you did me a favor. I save it." Xia Yu waved her hand and said lightly, avoiding her psychological burden. "Aunt Li, please pay attention to your body. The company is not very dirty. Clean it once in the morning and evening. There is no need to clean it all the time." "I have something to do, so let''s go ahead!" "By the way, Minmin doesn''t need to be locked at home during the holidays. You can bring the company with you. You can rest assured that everyone will like her very much." Before leaving, Xia Yu suggested to Li Qiuhua. After speaking, Xia Yu walked towards the office on the third floor. Seeing Xia Yu''s back, Li Qiuhua was very moved, tears rolled in his eyes, and muttered to herself: "God has really opened his eyes. I have really met a kind person." Then, Li Qiuhua wiped away the tears and cleaned harder. She would do nothing. Only working hard to clean can repay Xia Yu. Entering the gate on the third floor, Xia Yu found that many employees were already walking on the third floor. Among them, Xia Yu also saw Zhao Cheng directing his subordinates. Since Xia Yu assigned the task of constructing Jiuding News Agency, the third and fourth floors have been activated, and all kinds of office supplies have already been equipped. Xia Yu walked in directly and was seen by Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng quickly put down the things in his hands and walked over, and said respectfully: "Boss, you are here!" "Well, the news agency headquarters seems to be almost constructed." Xia Yu gave a light hum, glanced around, and asked with a smile. "Yes, boss, now the headquarters is almost on the construction site, and the employees are being re-adapted, while the construction of the office outside is still in progress. Li Bin is already in charge outside, and I am mainly in charge here." Zhao Cheng replied respectfully. Under the overall planning and scheduling of Yan Wenhan, the responsibilities of him, Sun Xin and Li Bin have been re-divided. According to the structure of other international news agencies, although the entire Jiuding News Agency is under direct management, it still has three major departments under the responsibility of the three of them. Compared with their previous jobs, the nature of their work has undergone major changes, so employees need a period of time to adapt. Since he was the head of the editorial department before, the editing and typesetting of "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines cannot do without him, so he stayed at the headquarters. The former Minister of Communications, Li Bin, is relatively free to leave and is more familiar with the work of external communications, so he is responsible for the construction of branches of external news agencies. As for Sun Xin of the Information Department, he is responsible for most of the important tasks of news gathering and writing. I was working on the first and second floors. This division of labor makes Xia Yu more satisfied. It will not delay the normal operation of Jiuding Newspaper Company, nor will it hinder the construction of news agencies. Xia Yu strolled around on the third floor and was very satisfied with what he saw. Before leaving, he patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder and said: "Good job, work harder. After our news agency is established, the first It can be used in new newspapers in a matter of time. The quality of new newspapers is important for international news materials. This can only rely on news agencies. Don''t let me down!" "Boss rest assured, you will not be disappointed!" Zhao Cheng assured him with a serious face. "Hmm! Keep going!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, then sent away Zhao Cheng, thought for a while, and returned to his office. He remembers that in the past few days, Sun Xin and others have successively handed over opinions on new newspapers to him, but one is because Xia Yu did not have enough time to read it, and the other is because Jiuding News Agency has not yet been established. Well, there must be no way to publish new newspapers. Because of this he received all the submissions, but he just threw it into the drawer and didn''t rush to look through it. But now that there is time, he remembered it, and naturally planned to take a look. Xia Yu was a little curious about what kind of name they could take out. When he came to his office, Xia Yu opened the drawer and took out a stack of a4 papers filled with suggestions. He looked at each of them densely covered with words. He smiled faintly and picked up the first one. stand up. ""Global Daily"? This was written by Yan Wenhan. The name is good and the suggestions are also good. I am worthy of a person who has been abroad and has more knowledge. However, this name is inferior to the previous national media "Global Times" One word." "Fengyun Daily?" Sun Xin wrote, and there is also a name analysis: stay at home and watch the world change. It is worthy of writing press releases all the year round. There is a lot of ink in the belly. This meaning is indeed tall and can fit the newspaper. Positioning." ""International Daily"? This is written by Zhao Cheng, it is really concise and clear, and not bad..." "..." Chapter 185: Pikachu, its you! Soon, Xia Yu read all the opinions. The best ones are "Global Daily", "Fengyun Daily" and "International Daily". Others such as "Daily News" and "Minsheng Daily" This kind of name is good, but it doesn''t fit Xia Yu''s positioning of this new newspaper. Although Xia Yu''s positioning of the new newspaper is mainly political news + people''s livelihood news + international news, supplemented by other types of news. However, among these three positions, Xia Yu also divided the order according to importance. The most important is international news, followed by political news, and last is people''s livelihood news. Therefore, the three names of "Global Daily", "Fengyun Daily" and "International Daily" will be more recognized by him. Yan Wenhan and others have figured out Xia Yu''s mind. It is impossible for the newly established Jiuding News Agency to launch its business from the very beginning, and outsiders have to see the effect before purchasing the service. So naturally it needs to be used internally first, so that the effect of Jiuding News Agency can be better used, naturally it is in the area of ??international news! Moreover, in the area of ??international news, Hong Kong does very few newspapers, even if it is not professional, the market is blank, as long as it is done well, it can make a steady profit, and being a pioneer can also establish authority. Under various considerations, Xia Yu naturally values ??international news more and needs to be unique! Looking at the three suggestions placed in front of him, Xia Yu touched his chin to think carefully, and his thinking was unconsciously linked to Time Warner in the previous life. Time Warner¡¯s paper media is mainly magazines, not newspapers. It owns 64 magazines, covering 264 million people around the world. The most famous ones are Time, Sports Illustrated, People, Fortune and other magazines. . In terms of international news and current affairs, Time Magazine has the greatest influence. Although it is embarrassing to say it, whoever appeared on the cover of Time Magazine and became a cover character in the previous life of China would definitely cause a sensation, and this is only an Asian cover character. If he appeared on the cover of the international edition, the sensation would be even more intense. After seeing this lack of self-confidence and paying more attention to other people''s approval, Xia Yu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Therefore, in this life, when he is in the news media industry, he naturally wants to change the status quo. How can he also have a magazine and Time Magazine to fight courtesy. "Jiuding Daily" launched an "Economy" magazine in the same field, benchmarking "Fortune" and "Forbes." This newspaper that has not yet been launched is naturally not as simple as launching a newspaper. Xia Yu also has the purpose of launching magazines in the same field at that time, and the target is Time Magazine. Based on this consideration, the choice of the name of the newspaper this time should naturally be more cautious, and should be able to connect to the following magazines. At this time, Xia Yu remembered that Time Magazine had a well-known brand, that is, the Man of the Year. The purpose of the selection was to "select the person who has the most significant impact on the news and people''s lives, for good or bad." Those who can be on this list in previous lives are the most powerful people in the world, or the most influential people that year. Such as the German Aunt Mo in 2015, Trump in 2016, and earlier such as the Obama in 2012 and so on. It''s a pity that our country''s bigwigs are hard to get up! And with the memories of Time Warner''s bigwigs, Xia Yu knows that the European and American media are full of prejudice against China, and there are countless media that wantonly slander China, and Time Warner has done this kind of thing. Since I was born again, I naturally have a place in the media field that belongs to China and belongs to the Chinese. How can I have a certain right to speak and make my own voice. Since there is no way to buy "Time", then there must be a rivalry with "Time". Xia Yu naturally wants to own such an influential selection brand as Man of the Year. If you think about it in this way, "Fengyun Daily" is more appropriate. When the time comes, the magazine will be called "Fengyun Weekly", and when the brand is launched, it will be called XX Man of the Year, whose name is more authentic than "Times Weekly". Shanzhai wants to get rid of the genuine products, so naturally they have to take a name that sounds more genuine than the genuine ones! Increase some opportunities! Thinking of this, Xia Yu showed a sinister smile. Pikachu, it''s you! Ah bah, "Fengyun Daily", it''s you! After thinking about it, Xia Yu called Yan Wenhan in. "Boss, are you looking for me?" Yan Wenhan said respectfully, his eyes swept over the papers on Xia Yu''s desk, and he suddenly guessed the purpose of the boss asking him to come, and he felt a little bottomed. "The new newspaper, I have decided, it will be called "Fengyun Daily". Sun Xin''s idea is very good. It is very magnificent to sit and watch the world change without leaving home." "From another perspective, it can also be understood that the goal of our newspaper is to stir the world. This is the highest pursuit of the media industry. Once a paper is published, the situation will change! This is a manifestation of the influence of the newspaper." "I hope that one day our newspaper will have such a strong voice and such a big influence!" "This name can also slap everyone at all times, don''t slack off, and always move towards this goal!" Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan with a serious face and said. This represents the high expectations in Xia Yu''s heart, once again to create a top-notch weapon of public opinion! Hearing what Xia Yu said so solemnly, Yan Wenhan deeply felt the importance of the boss¡¯s importance to the new newspaper. He nodded and replied: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss, I will pay attention to it 200% and try my best to build this new newspaper. !" "This newspaper relies heavily on Jiuding News Agency. Until the news agency is built, there is no way to make it. However, the media industry needs talents who can play pens. You must analyze the current affairs and the overall situation thoroughly. You can now recruit people. , Start building the newspaper, understand?" Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan and offered him something. "I understand that I will go out soon, and I will not disappoint you!" Yan Wenhan solemnly promised. Xia Yu nodded, then thought for a while, then asked: "Did Gavin Peter come to you?" "He has come to me, and I have ordered to go down. The publishing business is now docking with him, and the division should be completed in a few days." Yan Wenhan quickly reported. "Well, I hope you understand. We are a newspaper company. The main purpose is to do paper media such as newspapers and magazines. Although the publishing business makes money, it will distract us If you want to become bigger and stronger, you can only split it up. In addition, there is still a big market in the newspaper industry waiting for us to explore, and focus on doing one thing, which is better." Xia Yu said in a deep tone. His words meant to appease Yan Wenhan. After all, the publishing business was created by Yan Wenhan. However, after the result, he had to give it to others. It would be personally uncomfortable. In order to avoid Yan Wenhan thinking, Xia Yu still wanted Do gestures. Yan Wenhan said with a free and easy smile: "Boss, I understand this truth, and I also intend to go deeper in the paper media market." "It''s okay if you can think about it this way. Thanks for your hard work. Go ahead!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said. "Then boss, I''ll go first, call me if you have anything!" After Yan Wenhan finished speaking, he left the office. Looking at Yan Wenhan''s back, Xia Yu smiled satisfied. Chapter 186: Talent to vote In the next period of time, Zhang Lei also bought all the land around the land printing plant, and spent all of the 10 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. After Xia Yu looked at it, he confirmed that all the money was spent on the ground, and there was no greed for ink. The land purchase has also proceeded smoothly. When it was learned that Jiuding Newspaper Company would buy land to expand its printing plant, the Hong Kong government welcomed it very much. After all, in this era, the economy of Xiangjiang has just begun to rise, and the real estate industry has not yet exploded to the point of dominance. There are still many wastelands in Xiangjiang at this time, especially in Kowloon and the New Territories. The wastelands and mountains are not known much. Now that Jiuding Newspaper Company intends to buy land to expand its factories and develop its economy, the land purchase process is naturally speeding up and the green light is all the way. After the land was bought, the project bidding entered the review period. After Xia Yu looked at it, he found that there was Li Chaoren¡¯s Yangtze River Infrastructure Company. Seeing that the price was not much different, he decided directly. Now he is on the board of Cheung Kong Industrial. Cheung Kong Infrastructure Co., Ltd. is another company of Li Chaoren, which specializes in infrastructure construction. There is nothing to say about the strength. Xia Yu also greeted Li Chaoren and asked him to arrange for people to speed up some construction. Speed, Li Chaoren naturally responded. There is no need to worry about Xia Yu about the printing factory, and the rest is the construction of Jiuding News Agency and two new companies. In the case of Jiuding News Agency, Xia Yu also personally watched the progress, with Yan Wenhan and Sun Xin in charge, and he can rest assured that he does not need to work any more. Now Xia Yu has consciously accelerated the burden on Yan Wenhan''s shoulders. Jiuding News has a set of talents and operation system, and he is not worried about major problems. On Gavin Peter''s side, talent recruitment has already begun. His main daily task is to assign tasks to organize various departments of the company, which is the interview! The treatment and strength of Jiuding Book Publishing Company are naturally very attractive, attracting many talents to participate in interviews. In addition to this, Gavin Peter is also a vigorous and resolute person. He finally managed a company. He naturally wanted Xia Yu to see his abilities. In order to speed up the progress, Gavin Peter also took the initiative to dig people. After all, he used to be the deputy manager of the Xiangjiang branch of the Penguin Publishing Group. He is also a prominent figure in the Xiangjiang publishing industry. After so many years in Xiangjiang, he has been a deputy manager for six years. He is very important to Xiangjiang and even the entire Southeast Asia. The publishing industry is very familiar. He knows which companies have very capable people, or who are capable of the Penguin Publishing Group''s Xiangjiang branch. Now that he has changed to a new owner, he naturally does not hesitate to dig up people. He himself has a strong enough network and credibility, and Jiuding Book Publishing Company is backed by Jiuding Newspaper Company and the stock **** Xia Yu, so it goes without saying that his strength is. Some time ago, Jiuding Newspaper Company tested the novel publishing business for the first time. The single book "Xun Qin Ji" had a record of one million sales. At this time, it was still hanging high above the head of the Southeast Asian publishing industry. Now that many more days have passed, the sales volume of a single book has reached a new high, and the record has been refreshed again, reaching 1.35 million copies. Now Jiuding News has split the publishing business with huge potential and established a company specifically, it is conceivable that the strength will only become stronger. Taking into account the distribution channels all over Southeast Asia, even if Jiuding Book Publishing Company has just been established, it is destined to be a publishing company that can exceed Hong Kong by more than 90%. And many people have not forgotten that the stock **** Xia Yu alone opened the back door for the employees of Jiuding Newspaper Company and led them to make money in stocks. This kind of threshold cannot be sought by outsiders. Since the employees of Jiuding Newspaper Company can do so, so can the employees of Jiuding Book Publishing Company. This is too much room for imagination, and it is fatal to many people! This kind of company with strength, potential, and high salaries and benefits naturally attracts the influx of industry talents. For the first time, Gavin Peter felt that digging was so easy, and the feeling of leaning against the tree was so cool! In addition to the rapid construction of Jiuding Book Publishing Company, the construction of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in the hands of Ma Tengdong is not slow. External recruitment has also started. Ma Tengdong has followed Xia Yu''s will. After seeing the four cartoon outlines and magazine planning given by Xia Yu, he also knows who the company needs most now. As long as creative talents have qualified basic sketch skills, they will naturally be recruited. No matter how bad they are, they can also do some tedious and time-consuming work. And like other conventional departments, such as publishing, printing and other departments, and the talents of the media industry are common, Xiangjiang''s other shortage is that there is no shortage of talents in the media industry. After all, Xiangjiang is the region with the highest newspaper density in the world, so it is recruiting talents. The difficulty was very low, and many talents were recruited very quickly. In addition to Ma Tengdong''s selection of various department leaders and large and small group leaders, with the leader, the speed of department construction will naturally be greatly accelerated. Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is launching recruitment in full swing. It is natural that Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang who are always paying attention to it, the pressure in their hearts begins to increase. Regardless of what Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will do in the future, just from the posture you see now, you know that the stock **** Xia Yu is really moving. When encountering such a rich tycoon, it is difficult to say whether they will use money to smash a market out. A shadow was naturally cast over his heart. In addition to Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao, the employees of their respective companies are also paying attention to all this. After all, the interests are moving! High salary and high treatment, and at the beginning of the rise, many people naturally understand the difference between giving charcoal in snow and icing on the cake. Although their abilities cannot be regarded as such a high metaphor, but entering a company at the beginning of its establishment, no matter how bad they are, they can be named as a veteran. At this time, in the "Happy News" under Shangguan Xiaobao, a young man was ready to leave. "Akang, tell you a good news, I passed, I was hired by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with glasses and a pale face pushed open the door of the dormitory. After seeing his roommate Li Mingkang who was diligently practicing painting on the table, he ran in happily, yelling and excited. Revealed on the table. The young man named A Kang suddenly raised his head, looked at Ma Rongcheng, who was flushed, and said with a shocked look: "Did you really pass?" "Well, it''s very simple. Just let me draw a few characters and announce that I have been hired. Your drawing skills are more solid than mine. As long as you go, you can definitely be hired. This is better than our apprentices. The salary is more than doubled!" Ma Rongcheng said with joy, thinking of the high salary, Ma Rongcheng clenched his fist tightly. He was from a poor family, but he liked painting since he was a child. He taught himself at the age of 14. He joined the "Good News" as an apprentice at the age of 15, but the apprentice¡¯s salary is very low and there is not much to the family. But there are younger brothers and sisters at home when they need money. . I don¡¯t know when I am a head when I am an apprentice in "Good News", UU Reading www. uukanshu.com and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.''s salary is so high, he had the mentality of trying, but he did not expect it to be successful! How can this not make him excited! However, he did not forget to help teach his roommate Li Mingkang. He also knew that Li Mingkang''s family background was similar to his home, so he immediately ran back to inform Li Mingkang that he planned to let him go with him. Not to mention, Li Mingkang was really tempted, rest assured that he held the paintbrush in his hand and grabbed Ma Rongcheng¡¯s hand and said: "Acheng, take me there. There are too many apprentices here. The president is holding "Bruce Lee" and is not willing to open up. The new comics, I don¡¯t know when it will end up." "Let''s go, Akon, there are a lot of people interviewing, so hurry up, if you don''t recruit, you will be in trouble!" Seeing Li Mingkang also decided to quit, Ma Rongcheng smiled, and he was more at ease with Li Mingkang going with him. After he finished speaking, he pulled Li Mingkang out of the dormitory and rushed to the place of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Chapter 187: Kato Hide... Teacher? ! ! (Happy National Day everyone!) Li Mingkang''s painting skills are more profound than Ma Rongcheng. Since Ma Rongcheng can pass the interview, Li Mingkang naturally passed the interview smoothly. The two who passed the interview directly applied for resignation after returning. The two of them are apprentices at the lowest level, and they are only apprentices under "Good News". They didn''t even enter the "Bruce Lee" comic creation group of Shangguan Xiaobao. Even if their boss could guess where they were going, they were not embarrassed. It is to let them go. Many have already left, so I don''t care about more. After all, there are too many low-level apprentices like them, Shenghuo Publishing House, it is enough to keep those core talents, like this kind of small fish and shrimp, has not yet been in the eyes of Shangguan Xiaobao, so as a subordinate, he naturally doesn''t care. . What he didn''t expect was that he really missed his eyes this time. When he saw Ma Rongcheng and Li Mingkang again in the future, he looked up. Only he could understand the complicated mood at that time. Soon, Ma Rongcheng and Li Mingkang were notified to go to work. What puzzled them was that the painters recruited like them did not arrange creative tasks. Instead, they only had one requirement, that is, to continuously exercise basic drawing skills, pen and paper. Enough care, just want them to practice! This job requirement makes everyone dumbfounded, but since they have this high salary, it is good for them to do this kind of easy work, so why not do it! And some people are more mindful, guessing that the company will never do meaningless things. Guessing may be an investigation of them and determine the nature of their future work, so many people are silent, but more active Practice. They really guessed this right. From the moment they entered the company, Ma Tengdong began to secretly observe. As for the drawing paper they finished, they were also asked not to throw them away. The names were written on them, and they were all collected. Ma Tengdong would also take a look when he had time. This was related to the task given to him by a boss, Xia Yu. Because the boss Xia Yu produced four manga outline drawings, each of which has a different style. As for how the boss has a changeable style, Ma Tengdong didn¡¯t bother to think about it. His task was to select Can be suitable for painters with different comic styles. The painting style is a bit mysterious, but it is very important! For example, the style of "Pokemon" is softer, highlighting the cuteness of all kinds of Pokemon, that kind of rough style is naturally not suitable, and it cannot express the core ideas and characteristics of comics. If the various elves drawn in a rough style will scare the children, it will be bad. How can they attract the children to look at them? When the time comes to sell the surrounding dolls, and see the vicious elves, it is estimated that many parents are unwilling to buy them for their children. Since "Dragon Ball" has a lot of fighting scenes, it is also a passionate comic. The style of painting must naturally be more explosive, and it must be able to inspire passion and blood. Otherwise, in the gentle style of girl comics, Monkey King and Big Demon Fighting, it would be embarrassing if the painting was drawn with small fists punching his chest. Therefore, to restore the four cartoons as much as possible to ensure the success rate, Xia Yu naturally chooses the right people to draw. Of course, in addition to this, Ma Tengdong will also select people with more profound painting skills among these people. When four creative teams are divided, they will be assigned positions of different weights according to their abilities. On this day, Xia Yu also came to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., in his office, here, he will have to wait for someone to join him, as long as he arrives, then the personnel structure of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. does not have to worry about Xia Yu. This person is the manga skills training teacher who is in desperate need! When Korn Ferry International sent Xia Yu¡¯s resume, after reading it, Xia Yu didn¡¯t even mention the interview, so he directly let him join the job. After receiving Xia Yu¡¯s opinion, Korn Ferry International naturally spoke of the manga trainer actively and let him He came to report as soon as possible. Last night, Xia Yu received a message from Korn Ferry that the comics trainer has arrived in Xiangjiang and will come to the company to see Xia Yu this morning. Now, on Xia Yu''s desktop is the resume of the manga trainer and the survey data separately provided by Korn Ferry. Just seeing the name on the resume, even though I read it many times, Xia Yu was still a little bit dumbfounded. "Kato Hideo? This name is good, it''s hard enough!" "Moreover, his materials stated that his painting skills are very deep. The biggest feature is his extremely fast drawing speed, ranking first among all teachers, and the quality of the painting is very stable. He has the''Hand of Kato ''The reputation." "How come the more you look at it, the more strange it becomes!" Thinking of someone in his previous life who had the same title and won the highest honor in an industry, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head with a smile. Don''t think about his name anymore, otherwise he can''t help but laugh again. But although the name and expertise of this Kato-sensei is a bit strange, he is an undoubted talent. Kato Hide, male, 40 years old, now works as a manga teacher at Island Seika University. Many people have never stopped at Kyoto Seika University in the island country, but this university is not ordinary for the comics industry. This school is an island country private university located at 137 (headquarters) Iwakurakinocho, Sakyo District, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. It was founded in 1968, referred to as Jingda or Jingda. It was the first university in the island country to establish a manga department. And Hide Kato has been a teacher at Kyoto Seika University for eight years. He has first-class teaching skills and is an island leftist. He is extremely opposed to war, loves peace, and speaks English, which fits Xia Yu''s requirements. This time I was able to dig it because something happened to Hide Kato¡¯s family and he needed money urgently. The salary of a university teacher was not enough After Xia Yu learned about it, he didn¡¯t care about the money, so he paid him a high salary. Smashed and smashed over. Today, as long as he confirms on the spot, the contract can be signed. Not long after, Kato Hide was led by the staff to Xia Yu''s office. After seeing Xia Yu, he immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Xia, hello!" "Kato-sensei, hello, please sit down!" "Thank you!" After Kato Hidei sat down, Xia Yu chatted with him, and he learned more about Kato Hide''s situation. Then he answered Kato Hide''s questions concerning his vital interests. For these small requests, Xia Yu naturally agreed to all of them. Anyway, it was nothing more than confirming the high salary Xia Yu had promised, which he could completely do. Moreover, in order to tie up Kato Hide, Xia Yu learned that his daughter was in urgent need of a large amount of money for medical treatment, and, apart from anything else, he paid him a year''s salary in advance, which made Hideo Kato grateful. Chapter 188: Hand of Kato lives up to its reputation And Xia Yu secretly laughed. This way, Kato Hide was **** even tighter. A small amount of money was exchanged for a cornerstone of the company. This kind of thing is very cost-effective for Xia Yu! After signing the contract, Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. First Ma Tengdong, then Kato Hide, the two most important people are here, other talents are much easier to handle! Thinking of Kato Hide''s nickname, Xia Yu was a little curious about how powerful his hand speed is, so he asked him: "Kato-teacher, I heard that your drawing speed is so fast, can you see it?" "Of course no problem! May I ask where to draw, I''m sorry I didn''t bring a drawing board." Kato Hideyoshi promised, only to apologize when talking about his painting tools. "Then come with me! It just so happens to meet the students you want to teach in the future!" After all, Xia Yu got up and brought Kato Hide to the special studio. At this time, there are already many employees in the studio, all of whom are in charge of comic creation. They are practicing drawing here. Seeing Xia Yu coming in, many people were shocked and stood up quickly, wanting to say hello to Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand to let them keep busy with their own affairs. Although they got Xia Yu''s instructions, many people were still paying attention, especially paying attention to the middle-aged man next to the boss. After all, there must be something special about being able to be brought in by the boss himself. Seeing so many people inside, Kato Hide showed a friendly smile and nodded to everyone. Xia Yu didn''t say much, and brought Kato Hide to the front of the easel, and said with a smile: "Ms. Kato, is this all right? You can paint anything you like!" "OK, just a second!" After Kato Ying finished speaking, he took a deep breath and sat on the stool, picked up the pen, and narrowed his eyes for thought. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the drawing board intently. The paintbrush in his hand jumped quickly, and beautiful smooth lines appeared on the snow-white drawing paper. "Shasha...shashasha..." I saw Kato Hidei''s hand shaking the pen quickly, making a slight rubbing sound, and the nib sliding very fast, it seemed that afterimages were about to appear, which made Xia Yu feel refreshed. This is so fast! Xia Yu feels that Kato Hide''s current painting speed is at least twice his speed! Seeing is believing, Xia Yu believes that his speed is okay, so it depends on the quality of the painting. If the painting is not good, the speed is useless. However, according to Kato Hide''s posture and outline of the painting, we can see some signs, and the quality should not be bad! Soon, an outline appeared on the paper, and Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed, and he became more focused. "really¡­¡­" After seeing more and more features on the paper, Xia Yu recognized the character painted on it, it turned out to be him. And it''s how he looked when he was talking with Kato Hide in the office. With more and more lines, Xia Yu showed an interested look on his face. Soon, Kato Hide put down his pen, and a complete sketch came into view. Xia Yu walked in and observed it, the smile on his face became brighter. "Yes, the painting is very vivid, and many details have been drawn. The most important thing is that your speed is extremely fast. You really deserve the reputation of''Kato''s Hand''." Xia Yu raised his head and looked at Kato Hide, and said in admiration that he had the most intuitive feeling about Kato Hide''s ability, and this time he was completely relieved. If Kato Hidei can impart his abilities to others, he doesn''t need to be as strong as him, as long as he is half the speed, Xia Yu is very satisfied. It really is a talent! Did not let him down! Korn Ferry¡¯s ability to recruit people is really awesome! "You have a good reputation!" Kato Ying was also very happy, after all, with such a high salary of Xia Yu, he naturally wanted to be recognized for his ability. Although happy, there was a humble expression on his face, and he bowed slightly. In the surroundings, many employees who secretly watched all of this witnessed the scene in front of them. After comparing their own painting abilities, each of them was silent, but their eyes on Kato Hide had changed. "Ms. Kato, these people now, as well as the employees who will continue to recruit in the future, will be the students you teach, and I hope you can teach them well." Xia Yu pointed to the surrounding employees and said to Kato Hide. "I understand, I will try my best to teach them." Kato Hide said solemnly. "Yeah!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Fuck!" Then, Xia Yu patted his hands, so that everyone in the studio focused on him. "Let me introduce to everyone. This is teacher Hideo Kato from Kyoto Seika University. He will be responsible for teaching you professional manga drawing skills and various abilities in the future. I hope you can follow him to learn it seriously, understand?" Xia Yu glanced around for a week and said lightly. When Xia Yu introduced, Kato Hide also cooperated and nodded to everyone. "understand!" The crowd echoed in unison. "From now on, please take care of everyone!" Kato Ying bowed slightly. "Fuck!" Xia Yu took the lead in applauding, and suddenly, there was a burst of applause in the studio. "Well, if you are interested, you can take a look at the paintings drawn by Mr. Kato, compare your own abilities, and see if you can figure out something." After speaking, Xia Yu took Kato Hide and left the studio. After they left, the studio suddenly became lively. Many people scrambled to surround the easel that Kato Hide had just used. They looked at the paintings on it and talked a lot. "This is our future teacher? That''s amazing. I can paint a picture in such a short time. If I can paint, I can draw a third of it." Said a person who was nearly 30 years old and ranked among the top three in painting ability. "Look at these details, if you take these into account, it would be nice to be able to draw a third!" The other person took a pen cap and clicked a few places on the drawing, and retorted. Hearing this person''s words, the person who had spoken before took a closer look. There was no argument, and it was obviously acquiescence. "The level of this painting is very high, and the sketch can best reveal a person''s painting skills. This Kato teacher has reached the realm of perfection, and the painting is completely easy to come by." "I just watched from the side. This Kato-sensei made it all in one go without a pause in the middle, but this painting should be a scene that happened before, all of which was memorized by him. This memory and observation ability, and I am ashamed of my ability to withdraw from painting." "Furthermore, I have heard some news about this teacher Kato. He is known as the''Hand of Kato'' because of his extremely fast drawing speed, and the students he taught are very capable. Many of them have entered the island country Shueisha. , Xiaoxiaoguan and Baiquan Club and other famous comic clubs." A young man named Song Quanping said that he was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and combed a three-to-seven-point hairstyle on his head. As he spoke, his dark eyes flashed with wisdom. Hearing Song Quanping''s words, many people''s expressions were serious, and their attention to Kato Hideo immediately increased a lot. After all, the speaker Song Quanping was a good friend personally dug from the island country by general manager Ma Tengdong. He was very capable. Although it was only a few days, he had already impressed a large number of people, and many people asked him for advice. Since he has given Kato Hide such a high evaluation, then naturally there will be no fakes. Now the boss says that Hideo Kato will become their teacher, which means that they can also learn the knowledge and skills of the professional system, which makes many people''s hearts hot. "Akang, it seems that we have come to the right point. The boss even invited a professional teacher to teach us painting. If I can learn half of his level, I will be satisfied!" Standing on the periphery, Ma Rongcheng listened to the conversations of the bosses, his eyes were full of excitement, and he pulled his friend Li Mingkang and said. "En, Ah Cheng, come on together, we will definitely be able to!" Li Mingkang also showed an excited smile, grabbed Ma Rongcheng''s shoulder, and said encouragingly. Their words also represent the aspirations of most people to a certain extent. After all, many people here are unsatisfactory apprentices before. As the saying goes, the apprentices of the church starve to death the master. When their previous master taught them, they would always hide their hands. . But now the boss has specially invited a university teacher from an island country, and all of them will be treated the same. What''s more, they also know that the island country¡¯s comics industry is many times larger than Xiangjiang¡¯s comics industry. Both the system and the level of drawing are more advanced. Although this makes them feel ashamed, they don¡¯t stubbornly deny it. Just one point, the cartoon industry in the island country now has a professional talent training system. There are various schools to train specialized talents. The cartoon industry has embarked on the process of industrialization. But what about Xiangjiang? It''s still a backward apprenticeship system. The master leads the apprentices and is **** tightly. If you want to learn technology, let the master do a few years for free! Now that they can learn more advanced things for free, it is naturally impossible not to be excited. Although we don''t know what will happen in the future, just seeing this now makes most people feel that hopping over is a wise decision! After all, the knowledge you have learned is priceless! When everyone was discussing in the studio, Xia Yu had already found Ma Tengdong with Kato Hide. "Teacher Kato, this is Ma Tengdong, the company''s general manager. He has worked in Shueisha before and his ability is very outstanding." "Tengdong, this is Teacher Hideo Kato from Kyoto Seika University in the island country. He officially joined today and will serve as our company''s manga trainer from now on. If you meet, you will be colleagues in the future." Xia Yu smiled and introduced the two of them. "Hello Teacher Kato, welcome to join!" "Hello Manager Ma, I am glad to meet you, please take care of me!" Ma Tengdong and Kato Hide shook hands and said welcomingly. After they met, Xia Yu said to Ma Tengdong: "Tengdong, Mr. Kato has just arrived. You can help him arrange accommodation, and then introduce him to the basic situation of the company so that he can get familiar with the company as soon as possible." "By the way, don''t relax your digging force. Try to dig out people you know before. You should know that our company is always willing to recruit talents." Xia Yu exhorted Ma Tengdong. "understand!" Ma Tengdong immediately replied. Then Ma Tengdong took Kato Hide away, and Xia Yu returned to his office. Chapter 189: Time to decide fate Kato Hidei immediately called Xia Yu''s advance salary to his family''s bank account and made a phone call with his wife to ask her to take care of his daughter. He will not go back for the time being. Although he missed his daughter, he knew that at this time, he should do more work, and that his daughter should have a wife to take care of him. Then, after Kato settled down, he immediately devoted himself to work, just to live up to Xia Yu''s kindness. Ma Tengdong also knows that Kato Hide has been a teacher for so many years, and his contacts must be very wide. He also asked him to help contact friends. Kato Hide naturally agreed. With the recruitment of Kato Hide, Ma Tengdong and Korn Ferry International, the number of talents in Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has skyrocketed. Among them, Korn Ferry International is the most powerful. It introduced more than one hundred talents, and almost half of the Chinese in the island country¡¯s comics industry are poached. These talents have real talents and are all included in the bag. Of course, for these low-level talents alone, Xia Yu paid millions of intermediary fees, which made Robert Joyce happy and more enthusiastic towards Xia Yu. He looked forward to Xia Yu giving him this next time. Kind of task. Xia Yu naturally agreed, after all, Korn Ferry¡¯s ability to search for talents in intelligence and to dig people is indeed very powerful, which made Xia Yu very satisfied. With all the talents available, Kato Ying also started a manga skills training course. At the same time, Ma Tengdong was informed of the company''s purpose, and secretly cooperated with Ma Tengdong to analyze the strength and style characteristics of each student, and make corresponding analysis records. After a period of training, the abilities of all employees have been improved to a certain extent. The bottom line is almost there, and the level of employees has reached the required level, and it is time for them to start working formally. However, before starting work, we must first divide everyone into four studios, each responsible for the creation of a comic. That morning, all the painting creation employees were shot into the studio. Many people were confused and didn''t know what the company wanted to do. But when the boss Xia Yu came to the studio with general manager Ma Tengdong and their teacher Ying Kato, many people with flexible heads quickly realized something was wrong. At present, the top three leaders of the company have come together, which is definitely meaningful! But no one dared to talk, and Judu stood up quietly, looking at the three of Xia Yu in the front. Xia Yu glanced around below, nodded secretly, and said faintly: "To stop your work today, there is a more important thing, which is related to your personal interests." "After a period of training, we are also secretly observing your abilities. Now that the lowest level of all of you has reached the standard, it is time." "Some of you should be aware that since the company is an animation company, there must be a manga creation group, but it does not appear now, and there is no comic creation theme. What does this mean?" "This means that you have to be selected from among you. Some of you can be the team leader, and some of you can be the head of a department, but who can be?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at everyone below. "Guru!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the employees below began to breathe quickly, and some even swallowed their saliva excitedly, looking at Xia Yu with fiery eyes. Bosses are about to start dividing hats, they naturally want to get higher positions, which not only represents status, but also represents higher wages. Seeing everyone''s emotions aroused, Xia Yu''s smile narrowed, his expression became serious, his eyes were like a knife, and he looked at everyone, and said forcefully. "Next, there will be an exam. I will review the papers with Manager Ma and Teacher Kato. According to your abilities and characteristics, determine your position. For this exam, you will not rank positions by age, only your ability! Even if you are only ten Many years old, as long as you have enough abilities, you can also be a team leader!" As soon as these words came out, the bottom was completely boiling, and the gaze looking at Xia Yu was fierce, as if he was going to burn Xia Yu. "Well, the specific test content will be explained to you by Manager Ma." Ma Tengdong nodded respectfully at Xia Yu, then stepped forward and said: "The content of this exam is very simple, but it is also difficult." "See the eight stacks of paper covered upside down?" Ma Tengdong pointed to the eight stacks of paper covered upside down on the stage and said with a meaningful smile. "Each one of you randomly takes one piece from each stack of paper. There are eight sheets in total. Each paper has a picture on it. The content of your test is to draw a similar picture, but the test time is only one hour!" Hearing this, many people below changed their expressions. One hour! This is too difficult! It takes an hour to paint eight paintings, and the difficulty of these eight paintings is unknown. If you paint eggs, you can quickly get it done. But could the boss and general manager be so simple? As long as anyone who is not stupid knows that this exam will be extremely difficult, everyone''s heart is heavy. "I know, most people can''t finish it." Ma Tengdong spoke bluntly, clarifying their concerns. Everyone nodded in agreement and looked at him together. "Listen well, each painting has 100 points. There are two factors that affect your position. One is the total score and the other is the value of a single painting. What the company needs is the most suitable person, not knowledgeable but not precise. people." "Maybe someone painted every painting and got 50 points, a total score of 400 points; but another person painted three paintings, but two of them were at 90 points, with a total score of more than 200. If it is divided, then the people in the back may have a higher position than the people in front, do you understand?" Hearing Ma Tengdong''s words, everyone frowned. This situation is sometimes pondering The degree of choice is not sure! "In order for you to speed up, and to be able to exert your strength as much as possible, and get higher scores, I will give you a hint." "You can observe these eight paintings first, and then according to your own style of painting, first draw the one you think is the best, so that you can guarantee the speed." "Below, start to order the template paintings in order. Before announcing the start of the exam, everyone is not allowed to turn the paintings upside down and take a peek. Offenders will be dealt with with 0 points regardless of their ability!" Hearing such a severe punishment, everyone''s heart shuddered and nodded like a conditioned reflex. "Start with you, come up!" Ma Tengdong pointed to the first employee on the far left and said. The person who received the order took a deep breath and quickly ran up to receive the template. Then, after picking up the templates one by one, they returned to their positions and waited. Chapter 190: 4 talents "I announce that the exam begins!" After everyone got the template, Ma Tengdong looked at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu nodded towards him. After checking his watch, he announced loudly. Following Ma Tengdong''s order, everyone immediately turned over the inverted painting and began to look at it quickly, first to find the type of painting they are best at. Seeing the nervousness of the employees, Xia Yu showed a smile. These eight paintings were all painted by him. Two of the four comics "Pokemon", "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", and "Douluo Continent" were selected. They were carefully selected by him. The degree of difficulty is almost the same. When he paints, it takes about the same amount of time, so as to ensure fairness as much as possible, so that the value of each painting is about the same. He will divide everyone into four manga studios based on this exam. In such a short period of time, when almost everyone is unable to complete it, it is possible to distinguish who is strong and who is weak. How do you say it? The difference between Xueba and Xueshen is: Xueba scored 98 points, and Xueshen scored 100 points. Xueba believes that the gap with Xueshen is only two points. Xueshen said: "You have only so many points in the test with 98 points, but only so many points in the test paper with 100 points!" In order to distinguish between "Xueba" and "Xueshen", Xia Yu directly compressed the time, so that the difficulty soared, so that almost everyone could not finish it. At that time, "Xueba" was still "Xueshen" or "Xueshen". '', it''s clear at a glance! And with Ma Tengdong¡¯s tips, in order to get as high as possible, as long as they are not stupid, everyone will draw their own skills first. Then, as long as he sees what he draws and his painting level, Xia Yu can arrange him in The corresponding comic studio. As for the position, it will be ranked according to his two paintings. Xia Yu believes that this kind of test rules can force their potential and expose their characteristics at the same time, and his difficulty in dividing talents will be greatly reduced! The exam has already started, just wait until the score is counted tomorrow. Xia Yu didn''t wait here either, just hand it over to Ma Tengdong and Kato Hide. Then he left the examination room and returned to his office. Time passed quickly. Soon, one hour passed. Ma Tengdong looked at his watch, walked into the studio, and shouted: "Okay, the time is up, everyone stops writing! If you paint, it will be processed with 0 points!" "Hey¡­¡­" Following his order, everyone put down their pens. Although many people were unwilling, they could only swallow unwillingness to see the general manager on it. At the same time, they looked around and found that there were many people who were about the same as themselves, and their hearts were slightly balanced, praying secretly, and painting more by themselves. "Turn in one by one!" After Ma Tengdong finished speaking, the employees honestly handed in their paintings and arranged them. "You guys, help me carry these pictures into my office." Ma Tengdong ordered a few people to move stacks of paintings, and then led them out of the studio. "Huh, finally gone!" "It''s too difficult. I have only finished five paintings, and there are still three that I haven''t painted. The score is definitely not high! Hey!" "You have finished five pictures, and I only painted four. You are better than me! You still sigh, didn''t I want that piece of tofu to kill you?" "I painted one more picture than you, but I did not paint well, maybe the total score is lower than yours!" ... As soon as Ma Tengdong left, the depressive atmosphere in the studio dissipated for most of the time. The grievances of many people finally had a chance to vent. The whole studio was noisy. Just as Song Quanping was quietly packing up his easel and tools, a person came over and patted his handwriting, and asked curiously: "Quanping, how many pictures have you painted? You should have finished painting them all?" Before Song Quanping looked up, he knew that it was Tian Zhi who was speaking after hearing the voice, a person who was behind him but not inferior to him. He raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you think it''s possible? I have only finished seven paintings, how about you?" "Haha, again, I only drew seven pictures, the eighth picture just started, and the time has come." Tian Zhi laughed and said, not feeling depressed, his personality is like this, he is very sunny and optimistic, this may be related to his love of raising small animals since he was a child. When Tian Zhi came to find Song Quanping, the eyes of the people around here focused. After all, after so many days, everyone is basically familiar with it. Whether it is Song Quanping or Tian Zhi, they are the best among everyone. Now that they are discussing exams, they will naturally attract the attention of others. They also want to see what the ¡®students¡¯ are like. Some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that both of them had painted six pictures. At least the difference is not too big, only one picture. Moreover, neither of these two "students" have finished it, so no one can finish it! Six of them should also be in the forefront! "What? Jiang Min, you are all done, you are too good!" At this moment, a cry of exclamation came, and it immediately attracted everyone''s attention, all eyes were on the stubborn young man standing in the middle. This young man is a native of Kowloon recruited by himself. He is only 20 years old. His ancestors made a living by fishing for three generations. He can''t read books, but he has one hobby, which is painting, and he is completely self-taught. The characteristic is painting. The speed is extremely fast. When he first came in, his level was considered mid-to-low, after all, he was from Ye Luzi. But he has one specialty, that is, the speed of painting is very fast, and he is very easy to learn, he is the most active to ask Kato Hide. After Kato Hide''s teaching, his progress has improved by leaps and bounds. Although his level is only medium and not top, but combined with his speed, his comprehensive strength directly rushed to the forefront, which made many people admire. He belongs to a talented person, and others will not admire it. Both Song Quanping and Tian Zhi heard the exclamation, and they both looked at Jiang Min, who was still a little green on his face. The two looked at each other, and the pressure in their hearts suddenly increased. This is a rival! Fortunately, besides his fast speed , the level of painting is still a bit worse. After all, Jiang Min is talented, and he used to learn by himself, unlike them who have been trained systematically. Even if Jiang Min often asked Kato Hideo to open a small stove, he still couldn''t fill this gap in a short time. There is still a chance. Maybe Jiang Min''s average score will be lower than them, and there is still a chance to go ahead when calculating the total score! In a corner of the studio, a 24-year-old young man wearing glasses saw the lively scene in the studio. He showed a confident smile, then quickly put it away, silently looked out the window and started his daily routine. Time in a daze. Jiang Min, who was surrounded by the crowd, was not proud. He showed an unnatural smile, but he looked at the young man in the corner who was in a daze, and said inwardly: "Tang Shuping, I don¡¯t know how you painted it? Take yours. The strength should be finished!" Tang Shuping seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at him. Tang Shuping came back to his senses. Looking for it by feeling, he suddenly found Jiang Min''s gaze. He showed a friendly smile and then went back to his hair. Chapter 191: List and position (2 in 1 big Soon, all the sketches were delivered to Kato Hideo, and he began to correct them and kept scoring. There is only one scoring standard, that is, the higher the similarity to the original painting, the higher the score. If the painting is better than the original painting under the same style, it will definitely get a high score. After the corrections were made, the scores were counted and several tables were made. One is the total score list, which is not the most important. The most important thing is the four small lists. The scores of two paintings from the same comic are added together to create a list. After the scores were processed, Kato Hide and Ma Tengdong immediately came to Xia Yu''s office and reported the scores to Xia Yu. "Boss, please see, these are the conditions of this exam." Kato Hide handed over the form and some selected paintings to Xia Yu and said respectfully. "Sit down first, I''ll take a look first!" Xia Yu nodded, and after letting them sit down, they began to look carefully. Total score ranking: First place: Tang Shuping, 640 points, seven and a half frames. Second place: Song Quanping, 635 points, seven progress. Third place: Jiang Min, 632 points, eight progress. Fourth place: Tian Zhi, 628 points, seven progress. ... "Pokemon" score ranking: First place: Tian Zhi, 194 points. Second place: Li Youliang, 186 points. Third place: Song Quanping, 182 points. Fourth place: Yang Fei with 181 points. ... "Douluo Dalu" score ranking: First place: Tang Shuping, 192 points. Second place: Li He, 182 points. Third place: Tian Zhi, 180 points. Fourth place: Li Chun, 179 points. ... "One Piece" score ranking: First place: Jiang Min, 183 points. Second place: Zeng Yang, 181 points. Third place: Fang Xiong, 179 points. ... "Dragon Ball" score ranking: First place: Song Quanping, 195 points. Second place: Yang Lin, 187 points. Third place: Chen Peng, 185 points. ... After reading these data, Xia Yu smiled. It seems that Song Quanping and Tian Zhi should be the strongest, but their speed is a bit slow, so the total score is only ranked second and fourth, but their The average single painting is 90.7 and 89.7 points respectively. Although the third Jiang Min scored as high as 632 points, he finished eight paintings. In fact, the average score was only 79 points, which is 11 points and 10 points behind Song Quanping and Tian Zhi respectively! The gap can be imagined! Fortunately, Jiang Min has a bright spot, that is, he won the first place in the total score of the two paintings of "One Piece". Although it was only 183 points, it was only 2 points higher than the second place and 4 points higher than the third place. It''s not obvious. Unlike the other three rankings, the results of the first place are much higher than the second place, occupying the first place with the strength of crushing. The average score of his two paintings reached 91.5, which is much higher than his own overall average score of 79. The reason for such a big difference should be that he grew up by the sea since he was a child, and this time is selected from the two pieces of "One Piece" The paintings are all related to the sea and ships, and he is good at it. Another Tang Shuping''s words, completed seven and a half pictures, the progress ranked second among everyone, but the total score ranked first, the average score for each painting is 85.3, based on the average score, absolutely not in the top five , But the level is not bad, at least much better than Jiang Min. And although his speed is not as good as Jiang Min, but it is also much higher than the others, which can be regarded as a small advantage, and the overall strength is very strong. In addition, Tang Shuping''s total score in the two paintings of "Douluo Continent" ranked first, 10 points higher than the second, and his position was also stable. Among the four rankings, Xia Yu found that the top ones in "Dragon Ball" have the strongest overall strength. If the second and third scores are placed in "One Piece", they can be ranked first and second, and placed in the others. In the list, he can also shoot second and third, and his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, in addition to these lists, the top paintings of their respective lists were also selected later. After Xia Yu read it, he found that the scores matched his strength, and there was no random scoring. After reading these lists again, Xia Yu smiled. The positions can be ranked according to the rankings, because the overall rankings have little influence. After all, paintings like Jiang Min and Tang Shuping are very fast, but only a few, and most of the people''s speed and level are directly proportional. The higher the level, the more proficient and the faster the speed. Then Xia Yu took out a piece of paper and began to write. "Pokemon" studio: Lead writer and group leader: Tian Zhi Leader of the second group: Li Youliang Three group leader: Yang Fei "Douluo Dalu" studio: Lead writer and group leader: Tang Shuping Group 2 leader: Li He Three group leader: Li Chun "One Piece" studio: Lead writer and group leader: Jiang Min Team Leader: Zeng Yang Team Leader: Fang Xiong "Dragon Ball" Studio Lead writer and group leader: Song Quanping Leader of the second group: Yang Lin Three group leader: Chen Peng After writing the positions of these people, Xia Yu pushed to the other side of the table and said to the long-awaited Ma Tengdong and Kato Hide: "Look at it, this arrangement is not appropriate." Ma Tengdong and Kato Ying immediately got up and walked over, looked at the positions arranged by Xia Yu, and then compared the score rankings. They found that they were the first to be the chief writer and the next team leader. This arrangement is very reasonable. No one else will have any opinions. Both shook their heads and said, "No opinion." "Very well, Tengdong, you will handle the announcement of the position. In addition, other employees are assigned to a studio based on their characteristics. Try to make the four studios roughly equal in strength! Go! " Xia Yu nodded, handed the position schedule to Ma Tengdong, and said to him. "Thank you boss, I will go now." A trace of gratitude flashed in Ma Tengdong¡¯s eyes. The boss Xia Yu made him more prestigious. Although the boss made the decision on personnel, he only communicated it on his behalf, but as long as he came forward to appoint the position, he could also take advantage of the boss¡¯s power to calm other people. , To facilitate his control and management of the company. Moreover, this is not a trace of the boss''s delegation of power to him. The boss is assured of him, how can this not make him grateful! After launching the office, Ma Tengdong combined everyone with Kato Hide''s opinions and divided everyone into four studios. After the assignments were completed, the list of personnel in the four studios was printed out. While Ma Tengdong was busy assigning personnel, Kato Hide had reposted everyone''s drawings, and at the same time, he posted a total score list and four small lists. "You can take a look at the scores of this exam. I changed the scores this time. After review by the boss and general manager, there should be no problems!" After speaking, Kato Hideo left the studio. When Kato Eiichi left, everyone rushed to the wall where the score list was stuck. "Don''t squeeze, don''t squeeze!" "Wow, the top score is not Jiang Min who finished all the paintings, but Tang Shuping. Jiang Min came in third. What a surprise!" "Unexpectedly, it was Tang Shuping who ranked first. I really didn''t expect it!" "What about me, don''t I, I only ranked 72nd in total, hey, but also, I only painted five pictures." ... "Quanping, you rank second, I am fourth, 7 points higher than me, you are still better." Tian Zhi patted Song Quanping on the shoulder and said with a smile, with a very peaceful mind. "Haha, but I didn''t expect Tang Shuping to be ranked first. He is not a man who is not dewy. I didn''t expect to be a blockbuster!" Song Quanping said with a wry smile, looking at Tang Shuping who was sitting alone in a corner in a daze, and was not in a hurry to check the score, a solemn flash of eyes flashed in his eyes. "Indeed, but his average score is about 5 points lower than ours, but he is younger than us and has a lot of room for progress. Coupled with his speed, he is a strong opponent." Tian Zhi nodded and said in the same way, but was not afraid. After seeing his ranking in the crowd, Jiang Min clenched his fists tightly. He was the only one to finish the painting, but his total score was ranked third, and his average score was even more than 80 points. Not yet. On this total score list, he also feels nameless, he just takes advantage of hand speed. Calculating the average score of second place Song Quanping secretly, and found that he was 11 points higher than himself, he quickly calmed down, and the only trace of complacency disappeared in a moment. "Come on, I can definitely catch up with them, I am confident that I will not be worse than them! I will definitely surpass them in the future!" Jiang Min secretly encouraged himself, he would never admit defeat. He was only 20 years old and just started his professional studies. He believed that one day he would reach Song Quanping''s level and surpass him! From small to large, what he lacks most is perseverance and perseverance! Ma Rongcheng, who was on the periphery of the crowd, saw that he was only ranked 98th. He clenched his fists tightly and said to his friends beside him: "Akang, they are all so good, I was ranked 98th, bad. so far!" "Acheng, I am only ranked 82nd, but we are still young and we will definitely be as good as them in the future!" "Especially you, you are only 17 years old, so young, you may be able to surpass them in the future!" Li Mingkang patted Ma Rongcheng on the shoulder and encouraged. Ma Rongcheng smiled, then immediately converged, and said to Li Mingkang: "Akang, let''s work hard together and make progress together! One day we will reach the same level as them!" "Hmm! Work hard together!" Li Mingkang nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination. ... In addition to this total score list, the other four lists are also very eye-catching, because the titles on these four lists are very confusing. "Pokemon", "Douro Land", "One Piece", "Dragon Ball"! This is a name that is obviously like the name of a comic, combined with the painting drawn during the exam, many people have already understood that what was drawn during the exam should be the things in these four comics. It''s just that they have been in the company for so many days, and they have never heard of any comics in the company. Why did they jump out of four comics? "Quan Ping, in the list of "Dragon Ball", your total score ranks first, combined with what the general manager said, will this "Dragon Ball" comic be your responsibility?" A thought flashed in Tian Zhi''s eyes, and then he said to Song Quanping. "hope so!" Song Quanping''s eyes flashed brightly, a smile appeared, and there was some expectation in his heart. "Aren''t you? In the list of "Pokemon", your total score is ranked first, if you say, you are also responsible for a comic." Hearing Song Quanping''s words, Tian Zhi grinned openly and said, "I hope it is what we think!" ... Without asking them to wait any longer, in the afternoon, Ma Tengdong came to the studio with a printed job schedule. When he came in, everyone who had been thinking about it all morning immediately stopped their work and looked at Ma Tengdong together, focusing on the stack of watches in his hand. Seeing everyone''s reaction, Ma Tengdong was happy, knowing they couldn''t wait. He didn''t want to cheat their appetite, but raised the watch in his hand and said straight to the subject: "What I have in my hand is your position schedule. Next, I will announce the appointment of some of you!" As soon as these words came out, everyone straightened their chests and raised their ears as if reflexively, for fear of missing any important information, many people were looking forward to hearing their own names in their hearts. "Our comic creation department will have four studios. You should see the names of the studios from the morning report." "Now I announce the list of "Pokemon" studio staff." "Chief writer and first team leader Tian Zhi!" After reading this, Ma Tengdong deliberately stopped, looked at Tian Zhi, and smiled satisfied at him. "Fuck!" Some people couldn''t help but applaud. Tian Zhi''s strength is obvious to all. He is the chief writer of a studio. No one has any opinions. His strength proves everything! "The first group members are Song Da, Li Song, Zhang Xiang..." "The second group leader Li Youliang, the members of the group Wang Hang, Chen Liang, Zhou Yi..." "The third group leader Yang Fei..." "Next is the list of members of Douluo Mainland Studio." "Tang Shuping the chief writer and the first team leader!" After reading this, Ma Tengdong looked at Tang Shuping with a calm face and smiled slightly, showing him a little more favorability, this person was calm. ... As Ma Tengdong kept reciting the name, some people were ecstatic, some sighed secretly. There are only twelve leadership positions in the four studios. Most people are destined to be disappointed. However, this time the election based on strength is very fair. There is nothing to say. Those who are not selected can only secretly make up their minds to improve their abilities and seize the opportunity when the next opportunity comes! Of course is also unconvinced, that is the "One Piece" studio, after all, Jiang Min''s level is not to crush the second and third group leaders, and Jiang Min is only twenty years old. , The other two are twenty-seven and eighty, but they have to wait for dispatch under Jiang Min. However, they did not dare to question the company''s decision. Instead, they planned to compete with Jiang Min in the future and speak with strength to let him retreat. Perceiving the mentality of these two people, Jiang Min''s face was stubborn, and he clenched his fist tightly. Since he became the head of a studio, he will only be stronger in the future, and no one has the opportunity to turn his side. "Okay, I will post the list on the wall. You will find your team leader. You will start to work tomorrow!" "Twelve team leaders, all come to my office!" After speaking, Ma Tengdong arranged for someone to post the list on the wall and left the studio. As he left, congratulations and conversations in the studio suddenly sounded. Chapter 192: Hold group approach "Tian Zhi, Tang Shuping, Jiang Min, Song Quanping!" When the twelve team leaders came to the office, Ma Tengdong called the four chief writers, and then gave them a file bag. These four file bags made everyone present curious, but they didn''t dare to talk nonsense and looked at Ma Tengdong. "What you hold in your hands is the comics you want to draw in the four offices, which contain the plot outline, the core ideas of the comics, and the main characters." Ma Tengdong explained to them. Hearing Ma Tengdong''s words, the four of them couldn''t help but force their hands with the file bags, and their curiosity became more intense, like a cat scratching. "I know you want to watch it now, but don''t rush it for a while. When I go back, I have time to watch it. I will tell you the precautions in advance! You must remember clearly!" Ma Tengdong''s face was solemn, and his gaze scanned everyone''s faces scorchingly, making everyone''s heart startled. "First, because these four comics only have outlines, and this outline is not complete, but this small part of the outline already contains the ideas and characteristics of the entire comic, and the personality is only the main part. Human design, the plot of this part of the outline needs your studio to be full!" "After all, one person¡¯s ideas are limited. In order to make the plot more compact and attractive, the boss told me that each studio must set up an internal screenwriter team to make the plot based on the ideas and characteristics of comics. It¡¯s even more exciting. The specific screenwriting team members are selected by you internally. Don¡¯t just fill the number. Moreover, employees who are not selected into the screenwriting team also have the right to make comments. If the comments are good, you should also adopt them!" Speaking of this, Ma Tengdong breathed a sigh of relief, who moistened his throat after a sip, and then continued. "Secondly, the copyrights of these four comics are owned by the company, but your names can be marked. Do you have any comments on this?" After speaking, Ma Tengdong looked at everyone calmly. "No!" "No!" All the people present either shook their heads or said no. They had no opinion on Ma Tengdong''s request, nor dared to have any opinion. After all, the company has already figured out the most important things in comics. All they need to handle is the plump plot and the subsequent plot setting, as well as the drawing of the comics. As for the plot issue, Ma Tengdong has already said that a team of screenwriters set up in the studio to discuss together, their personal role is directly weakened. Another function is to draw the plot. Not only do they draw, but everyone in the entire studio can draw, so their importance is also weakened. Therefore, in this studio, their positions are more importantly reflected in management. They have certain management powers. Their importance in comic content creation has decreased a lot. Although Song Quanping and the four still have the title of the chief writer, the aura of this title has been weakened. Unlike many cartoonists in the island country, the chief writer is the creator of a comic. But who allowed the company to take out the most important things? The most important things in these comics do not need them, they naturally cannot have the copyright! They are not stupid, they can still tell the truth! But fortunately, the company took into account their feelings and allowed their names to be marked on the comics. At least in terms of fame, they can get benefits. "Since you have no objections, let me tell you about your specific work arrangements next!" Seeing that everyone had no objection, Ma Tengdong smiled and said. "Training classes will still be held, but the daily class time will be greatly shortened. It is fixed at two hours a day. This is set by the boss himself and will not be changed in the short term until the boss thinks that your ability no longer needs training. , The training session may be cancelled!" Hearing this, the twelve people immediately nodded in agreement. Naturally, they didn''t have any opinion on the improvement of their abilities. They should take the company''s money to improve themselves. They would naturally not object to such a good thing. Among them, Jiang Min even expressed regret. He is now hungry for professional knowledge, and his class time has been greatly shortened. He is naturally full of regrets, but he is determined to work harder to ask Kato Hideo in his spare time. "Wait a minute, after you take back the files, don''t rush to draw the draft. Let the members of the respective studios keep practicing according to the original. At least they must be very proficient in drawing the comics and have a level of style. almost." "Your studio can also try to draw the plot, but this is the nature of practice. The purpose is to let you find the feeling and stabilize your level. This process also allows you to continuously improve the plot and run into the screenwriting team." "Then wait until the boss thinks that your level meets the requirements, then you will be formally drafted, understand?" In the end, Ma Tengdong suddenly raised the volume to refresh everyone. "understand!" Everyone raised their chests and said in unison. "Any questions?" As Ma Tengdong said, his eyes flowed on everyone''s faces. Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Ma Tengdong nodded silently, and then said: "If you have any questions, please give me feedback in time. Now you go back and find the members of each studio. The offices and studios owned by the four studios will be assigned to you. Yes, there are signs on the doors, you can find them yourself." Waved away everyone, Ma Tengdong thought for a long time, only to remember that the boss said that he had communicated with Yan Wenhan when he set up a distribution channel, and used all the channels of Jiuding Newspaper Company that are useful to animation companies as much as possible, so as to save one. Large sums of money, and reduce the laying time of distribution channels, speed up efficiency. At the same time, he also asked him to contact Gavin Peter of Jiuding Book Publishing Company, together with Yan Wenhan, and the three people communicated together to discuss how to build distribution channels for island countries, South Korea and Taiwan. Especially in the island countries and South Korea, even the strongest Jiuding newspaper company, the channels there are almost blank. Now that Jiuding Newspaper has a solid foundation in Southeast Asia, it is time to enter the island country and the Korean market. And Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Book Publishing Company are also starting to lay out distribution channels. This time, UU read www. uukanshu.com happens to be the combination of the three companies and the negotiation is to separate the types of channels that can be used by the three companies, and then the three companies will lay them together. This way, the strength will be stronger and the channel dealers will pay more attention to the difficulty of laying. Greatly reduce and improve efficiency. Moreover, this can also avoid wasting time, manpower and material resources in the repeated construction of channels. Of course, in addition to the common channels, the remaining channels can only be laid by their respective companies. Anyway, the most important thing that the boss Xia Yu said is that whether it is in Korea or an island country, the three companies must enter the market together, and the branches of the three companies must be located in the same place, which is not only convenient for communication. , This is also a demonstration of strength for outsiders, allowing others to reduce their crooked minds as much as possible. After all, looking at the names of the three companies, it is easy to associate them together... After thinking about it, Ma Tengdong found the number of Jiuding Newspaper Company and dialed it. "Hey, is it Manager Yan? I''m Ma Tengdong, the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., it''s like this..." Chapter 193: All ready to go In the next period of time, except that Jiuding Securities Company still invests in stocks step by step. The other three companies have kept up with clockwork machines, running at high speeds, and satisfying results appear every day. With Xia Yu''s strong financial support, the three major companies can move forward without any burdens! The first to complete the goal is still Jiuding Newspaper Company, which is more powerful in all aspects. After such a long period of development, as of May 1st, Jiuding Newspaper has opened branches in South Korea and island countries, and the personnel system has been established. In addition to these two countries, the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Company in Southeast Asia has also been further enhanced. This situation has indeed been reported in "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines. The daily sales volume of the latest issue of "Jiuding Daily" has reached 940,000 copies, which is one step closer to the goal of one million copies per day! The authority and influence are further enhanced! And the next few years, as long as the quality is guaranteed, it will be a period of rapid growth in the influence of "Jiuding Daily". Xia Yu is very confident that the daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" will exceed one million. Now it depends on the time. Sooner or later! As for "Economics" weekly, the top 500 Heungkang Enterprises and the Top 500 Heungkang Rich List have already been released, and the focus has begun to shift to the list of Southeast Asian countries and the overall list of Southeast Asia has been produced. In the week that the first issue of the top 500 list was released, the sales of "Economy" magazine once again exceeded 800,000 copies, and its influence greatly increased! Coupled with more and more high-level experts submitting articles to the magazine, the quality of "Economics" magazine has risen a lot. With the continuous rise of word of mouth, it has attracted many new readers. The next two issues stabilized this performance. The weekly sales volume of the latest issue of magazines reached 820,000. Naturally, the weekly advertising income also rose again with the magazine sales, reaching 2.1 million Hong Kong dollars. The initial income of 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars rose by 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which made Xia Yu very satisfied. Another outstanding achievement is that the entire newspaper system of "Fengyun Daily" has been established! Yan Wenhan put his position right. He knew that he might not be familiar with this kind of newspaper, so he dug a talent from the outside to serve as the deputy editor. He himself named the editor in chief just to facilitate management. The specific affairs are handed over to the deputy editor. And "Jiuding Daily" is still under his direct control! With the deputy editor-in-chief who is familiar with the business, the "Fengyun Daily" has long been out. After the layout of the newspaper was published, Yan Wenhan handed it over to Xia Yu for review. After Xia Yu made some changes, "Fengyun Daily" was completely finalized! Apart from "Jiuding Daily" and "Economics" magazines and "Fengyun Daily", the most obvious change is the Jiuding News Agency. At this time, Jiuding News Agency, with the concerted efforts of everyone, after nearly two months, the entire Southeast Asia, including the island country of South Korea and Taiwan Province¡¯s Jiuding News Agency network has been basically established, not to mention how powerful it is, at least it can function normally. ! And after this period of time, the headquarters of Jiuding News Agency has run-in, and the various offices have sent back different news one after another. Jiuding News Agency tried to deal with it, the purpose is to experiment, let the work become familiar, and the processed news is directly discarded. , The efficiency and quality of news processing improves every day. Today, Jiuding News Agency has been able to operate smoothly. Today, Yan Wenhan reported to Xia Yu that he had been able to meet his requirements and asked Xia Yu to check the results. Looking at the confident and expectant expression on Yan Wenhan''s face, Xia Yu laughed and stood up and said, "Go, take a look!" After speaking, he took Yan Wenhan to the third floor. As soon as he walked into the lobby on the third floor, Xia Yu saw a busy scene. Although there were many people, he appeared to be in order. "Boss, please follow me!" After Yan Wenhan finished speaking, he took Xia Yu to a place, pointed to a row of fax machines that were printing continuously, and introduced to Xia Yu: "Boss, this is the news receiving department. It is now receiving reports from offices around the world. The news, which is considered valuable news after screening by various offices, and has undergone preliminary processing." "Current news mainly comes from Southeast Asian countries, followed by island countries and South Korea, and the least is from European and American countries." "Because European and American countries are too far away from us, and various other factors have to be considered, the news agency''s news editing offices only cover the capitals of European and American countries. Other big cities have not had time to lay the network." Xia Yu nodded slightly and affirmed: "It is already a remarkable achievement to have an office in each country in such a short time!" Hearing Xia Yu''s affirmation, Yan Wenhan smiled and took Xia Yu to another place and started introducing. "Boss, this is the news screening department. All news received from all over the world will be sent here as soon as possible. The news will be classified and classified. The classification includes political, military, people''s livelihood, business, etc., and the level is divided into Five stars, one star represents the lowest heavyweight situation, five stars is the heavyweight news, the highest value!" "The personnel in this department are all people with a keen sense of news. They are specially selected to discover as much valuable news as possible." "Not bad!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile. "The next procedure is the news processing department. The employees in this department are all very well-written. When they receive news from the news screening department, they will deal with it as soon as possible and write them into finished press releases." When he came to the next place, there were rows of neatly arranged desks. Yan Wenhan pointed to a group of employees who were struggling with writing and introduced Xia Yu. "The last one is the distribution department, which will send news to customers according to customer requirements." "However, the news agency has not opened its business to the outside world. The only customer is our own "Jiuding Daily". Of course, the main news source of the following "Fengyun Daily" also comes from this." "These four small departments are managed by the entire news gathering and editing center. In addition to the news gathering and editing center, the news agency also has the Tonglian headquarters that manages all offices, and the normal administrative department After the introduction, Yan Wenhan Looking at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for Xia Yu''s comment. "Yes, the whole program, although there are some flaws, the overall effect is good, you really are paying attention!" Xia Yu said with a satisfied smile, Yan Wenhan couldn''t help but smile. "However, looking at it now, it cannot perfectly reflect the role of the news agency, and the development of foreign business also requires a perfect report card to prove our strength." "It just so happens that "Fengyun Daily" is also ready, so let it take the lead. I hope "Fengyun Daily" can completely beat the news agency''s name!" Xia Yu''s smile narrowed, his eyes darkened, and he looked at Yan Wenhan and said solemnly. "I understand, I will never disappoint you!" Yan Wenhan''s expression became serious, stood up straight, and promised loudly. ~: Recommend a friends "The Great Times, 1994" Introduction: The wealthy real estate developer was unexpectedly reborn in 1994.

A friend''s book on the same day is well written, so you can check it out! Chapter 194: This is cheating! HeungKong''s media industry is developed and there are many newspapers. If you want to have the most intuitive impression, you can divide it according to the credibility of major newspapers in different fields. ¨�§ë§»§ê.suimEnG.1a In the financial media, the most prominent is the "Hong Kong Economic Journal", followed by the "Xiang Kong Commercial Daily", followed by the "Sing Tao Daily", and other more subordinates can be ignored. In the current political media, the most prominent is "Sing Pao", followed by "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ta Kung Pao" and so on. In terms of people¡¯s livelihood news, almost all newspapers cover it. Of course, there is a special case of this, and that is Sing Tao Daily. Because "Sing Tao Daily" has channels all over Southeast Asia and has the strongest strength, "Sing Tao Daily" has an advantage in that it publishes political and economic news about Southeast Asia in the Hong Kong version of "Sing Tao Daily". Taking this into account, " The authority of Sing Tao Daily is also very strong. But if it is only in the two places of Hong Kong, the "Sing Tao Daily" is not the top in the financial and current affairs media, but it covers both aspects and the level is high. Therefore, when the two are combined, the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" in Hong Kong''s Omen are higher than those of "Sing Pao", "Ming Pao", and "Hong Kong Economic Journal". In fact, this has given the "Sing Tao Daily" a rudimentary form of publishing international news, but because it is only limited to reporting news in Southeast Asia, and there are not many sections, it has not formed an obvious feature. It was not until later that the Internet era came and the space gap narrowed sharply in front of the Internet. Sing Tao Daily responded and quickly seized the opportunity to expand globally, and finally became a Chinese-language newspaper covering global Chinese. Only at that time, the paper media industry was hit hard by the Internet, and sales in the entire market were inevitably declining. Even if Sing Tao Daily seized the opportunity, it was still blocked by the lowered ceiling. The reason is that I didn''t notice it before the Internet appeared. Like a frog at the bottom of a well, my eyes have been restricted to Omen and Southeast Asia. However, in this life, "Sing Tao Daily" will never take the original path, and will wake up in time, just because in this life, there will be "Feng Yun Daily" appearing, and it will definitely wake up. It''s just that in the previous life, it was the first one in the Xiangjiang newspaper to react and ate a cup of soup, but in this life, there is "Fengyun Daily", and "Sing Tao Daily" is destined to be the second child at most. In this way, it depends on whether "Sing Tao Daily" can survive under the aura of "Feng Yun Daily"! ... The major newspapers in Hong Kong have the habit of subscribing to each other, in order to know the hottest news as soon as possible, so as to avoid missing opportunities or letting their own newspapers stand in the wrong line and publish wrong speeches that affect their authority. In addition, there is another very important reason, that is to know oneself and the enemy, so as to have the opportunity to achieve overtake later. So that morning, when the "Jiuding Daily" went on sale as usual, it was delivered to major newspapers as soon as possible. After Luo Yanming, the editor-in-chief of Cheng Pao, came to the newspaper, he made a cup of tea and took a sip, then picked up a copy from a pile of newspapers. When he looked at the headline, it was "Jiuding Daily"! No way, the "Jiuding Daily" suppressed the heroes, and the sales of Hong Kong and Omen alone crushed all other newspapers, even if the second-ranked "Sing Tao Daily" and the third-ranked "Ming Pao" combined, the sales volume Still lower than "Jiuding Daily". In addition, the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia are getting higher day by day, and the total daily sales have reached 940,000 copies. The first glorious crown with a daily sales volume of 1 million in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong is moving towards "Jiuding Daily". The daily beckoned. The hot trend of "Jiu Ding Daily", other newspapers do not say that they are jealous, that is, they open their eyes and tell nonsense, and the ghosts don''t believe it! It''s useless to be jealous! How can I learn something from it to increase the sales of my own newspaper? For this reason, "Jiuding Daily" has become a must-subscribe newspaper for all Hong Kong newspapers, and its importance is firmly ranked first. If there is no time, other newspapers can be ignored, but "Jiuding Daily" is a must! Today, Luo Yanming habitually reads "Jiuding Daily" as usual. He was a little careless at first, but when his gaze swept to a big headline, he was suddenly full of spirits, and the cup in his hand also shook. Some tea was spilled on his thighs, and he couldn''t help but **** up. In one breath. "hiss¡­¡­" But he resisted the pain, his eyebrows were erected, his eyes fixed on the headline in the newspaper, his fists clenched unconsciously, his teeth clenched, and he jumped out every word. "It''s a big trouble, after waiting so long, it finally came!" Stay at home and watch the world change! "Fengyun Daily" takes you to see the world! This line of headline was placed on the first page of the "Jiuding Daily". The headline uses an enlarged and bold font, which is extremely eye-catching. As long as you see the newspaper, you will definitely be attracted by this headline for the first time. It was just this title that made Luo Yanming, the editor-in-chief of "Sheng Pao", all over. He took a deep breath and looked down, with a faint hope in his heart. Only from this look, he found that he shouldn¡¯t have expectations. The reality is too cruel. After a few months, Jiuding Newspaper finally opened a new newspaper again with the name "Jiuding Daily". Fengyun Daily! The newspaper focuses on current affairs, people''s livelihood and international news, and has a "fair, professional, in-depth, and breadth" principle of running a newspaper. The next article also specifically introduces the purpose of these eight characters, especially the ¡®breadth¡¯, which claims to report heavy news from all over the world every day. Luo Yanming''s reason tells himself that if this alone is really done by Fengyun Daily, then Fengyun Daily will definitely be invincible. What worries him is that Fengyun Daily can really do this! After all, Jiuding Newspaper Company is the leader of the Xiangjiang media industry, and its every move will naturally attract the attention of countless colleagues and arouse their speculation. When Jiuding News Agency set up the Jiuding News Agency drastically, it was immediately known to its peers because it did not deliberately cover it up. When they learned that Jiuding Newspaper Company wanted to build a news gathering and editing network all over the world by their own efforts, they were worried. They also learned about news agencies and found that powerful news agencies are almost supported by a country. The threshold is particularly high, and they also doubt whether Jiuding Newspaper Company can be completed! And after more than a month, didn¡¯t see any signs, and they gradually stopped caring too much, but they didn¡¯t expect that when Luo Yanming was about to forget, the news from Jiuding News Agency appeared in him again. In sight. And still brought him such a bad news! "Sheng Pao" has already been affected by "Jiuding Daily", and fortunately "Jiuding Daily" is a financial newspaper, and its influence is considered limited. But this time, "Fengyun Daily", which will be published in three days'' time, came directly to political and economic newspapers such as "Sheng Bao". How can he not be nervous! Obviously knowing that danger is coming, but there is no way! Even if his brain turned wildly, the several coping methods that he had come up with were all dead when he saw the news on the "Jiuding Daily". "I just didn''t expect that before it came out, the "Jiuding Daily" with a sales volume of 940,000 to pave the way for it, hey..." "This is cheating!" Luo Yanming slapped the table with a slap, and said suffocatedly. Chapter 195: First print 300,000 copies There has never been a precedent in the history of Hong Kong and even in the entire Southeast Asian media industry that a newspaper did its best to advertise another unpublished newspaper! And now, this situation has finally appeared! Moreover, the top-selling "Jiuding Daily" carried the flag in person. This kind of honor and influence is too great! After all, the daily sales of 940,000 copies is not that simple! In the entire Xiangjiang, the number one "Jiuding Daily" is removed, and the total sales of the second to tenth newspapers in Xiangjiang Aomen are not as high as the total sales of "Jiuding Daily"! So now the "Jiuding Daily" is doing its best to pave the way for the "Fengyun Daily" propaganda, the effect is naturally not covered! As long as it can be converted to a quarter, there will be more than 200,000 copies sold, which can directly exceed the daily sales of Sing Tao Daily in Hong Kong! What''s more, with Jiuding Newspaper¡¯s powerful distribution capabilities and huge prices, it can be regarded as the number one distribution channel network in the newspaper industry. In addition, it opens up a new market. In the area of ??international news, " Fengyun Daily eats crabs. As long as the quality of Fengyun Daily is high, the sales volume will never be low. It depends on how much it can reach! Such a simple matter can be understood by the Hong Kong paper media industry, and even the helm of the entire Southeast Asian paper media industry! It is very likely that another shark will be raised from the Jiuding Newspaper Company, and one more meat will be eaten, and it is very likely that the body is strong and the ability to grab meat is leveraged. [WWWw.SuiM§Öng.l¨¡ There is so much meat in the pot, so other people naturally eat less! The situation, from now on, has become very serious for other colleagues! Now is the first day of "Jiuding Daily" paving the way for "Fengyun Daily", and there are still two days to go. It will definitely continue to promote it, and it will be officially released on the third day. At that time, the situation is really serious. ! "It''s just that there are only two days left. The time is too short to deal with it. I was caught off guard!" In the office building of Sing Tao Daily, the boss and editor-in-chief Hu Xianxiu frowned, looked at the Jiuding Daily on the desktop, and muttered to herself. While speaking, he sighed and rubbed his temples. At this moment, she felt a headache! "The mountain of "Jiuding Daily" is already on my head, but after all I can beat "Oriental Daily" to the ground, I also recognize it!" "It''s just that if another "Fengyun Daily" comes out now and it is also pressed on the head, that day will not be published!" "The most important thing is that the "Jiuding Daily" has not had a big impact on me. I thought I could live together peacefully, but I didn¡¯t expect that Jiuding Newspaper Company was not at all restless, and another newspaper came out. Just look at its positioning. , It will have a great impact on my "Sing Tao Daily". It seems that I can''t be friends anymore. I was thinking too much before. My colleagues are enemies!" Thinking of this, Hu Xian felt even more gloomy. She had a good impression of Jiuding Newspaper Company because of the fall of "Oriental Daily" and Ma''s family. Now that this happened, the good impression disappeared. Her "Sing Tao Daily" will report major news in Southeast Asia. Compared with other newspapers, it is not a small feature. But now if "Fengyun Daily" can report news from all over the world, this comparison will eclipse the characteristic of "Sing Tao Daily"! This impact will of course be great! It¡¯s just that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and Jiuding Newspaper Company is determined to make progress. "Advertising revenue has dropped a lot now. Is it true that it should be allowed to develop?" Hu Xian thought in his mind, and began to quickly think about ways to let "Sing Tao Daily" cope with it and minimize the impact. One minute, two minutes, five minutes... Soon, half an hour passed, Hu Xian''s brows were frowned, and she still didn''t think of a way. "Hey¡­¡­" Helpless, she sighed, her face sullen. The formal business methods that can work are impossible to think of, and the methods that can be thought of are useless to Jiuding Newspaper Company. Other conspiracies and tricks were eliminated only when they appeared in Hu Xian''s mind. She did not dare to use Jiuding Newspaper Company, and no one in the entire Xiangjiang paper media industry would dare to use it. After all, the scene of the collapse of the "Oriental Daily" is still vivid. Although there is no obvious evidence that it is related to Jiuding News, as long as they think it is relevant in their hearts, no one dares to take the risk! It would be good if Jiuding News Company didn''t take the initiative to make insidious tricks with them, and it is better for them not to take the initiative to pick things out. Everything in the market depends on your ability, and you have nothing to say if you lose! "Forget it, plus today, which is three days. It''s too short and there is no time to deal with it. I can only watch it first and make a decision according to the situation!" "Furthermore... If Fengyun Daily succeeds, then the international news section, compared to other newspapers, Sing Tao Daily can be considered as an advantage. It can follow the trend and have some soup, maybe it can make up for the loss, or even get some points. what¡­¡­" "I don''t believe it, the market can be swallowed!" Thinking of this, Hu Xian''s eyes became sharp, and he hoped that Fengyun Daily would fail, and he also hoped that Fengyun Daily would succeed and prove the prospect of this market. On this day, Xiangjiang Aomen and Southeast Asia are destined to be a little different because of the news of Fengyun Daily. Many people are paying attention and have some curiosity about Fengyun Daily, which has not yet appeared. On the second and third days, "Jiuding Daily" carried the flag to "Fengyun Daily" as usual, and everyone who directly fired "Fengyun Daily" was known. Many readers can remember the characteristics and positioning of "Fengyun Daily". The Jiuding Printing Factory, a workshop specializing in printing "Fengyun Daily", gathers many senior executives. Xia Yu glanced across the faces of the executives, and finally looked at Zhang Lei, who had a calm complexion, and asked: "Zhang Lei, there is no problem with the printing work of Fengyun Daily this time?" "Boss rest assured, there is absolutely no problem!" Looking directly at Xia Yu''s gaze, Zhang Lei straightened his chest and promised in a loud voice. "Well, there must be no mistakes!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said solemnly. "Wenhan, what''s the specific situation? Tell everyone, and let everyone know!" Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan and said. Hearing this, the senior executives present all looked at Yan Wenhan with expectation on their faces. Especially the heads of the three departments of Jiuding News Agency are very concerned about the situation. After all, the success of "Fengyun Daily" is related to the role of Jiuding News Agency. They naturally hope that the situation will be better. "Boss, our company has branches throughout Southeast Asia, and has printing plants in every country. Now the first issue of the newspaper template has been passed to each branch, and they are printed separately~www.novelhall. com~ will definitely be on sale tomorrow morning." "And now this printing factory only needs to supply sales in Hong Kong and Longmen, the pressure will not be great!" "For our "Fengyun Daily", the channel business is very confident, so the total order volume has reached 300,000 copies, of which the total number of Xiangjiang Aomen two places is 120,000 copies, and the total amount of Southeast Asia is 180,000 copies. Copies." "If the sales situation is good, it will be printed as soon as possible. With our printing capabilities, there will be no problems!" Yan Wenhan said seriously. "Well, the first batch of 300,000 copies, I hope that all of these newspapers can be sold, and sales will increase as much as possible!" "Tomorrow is the time to check the results. All departments will check it out. Have you heard?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at the subordinates present. "understand!!!" Everyone shouted immediately, their expressions very serious. Chapter 196: hiss! Horrible! May 4 is an unusual day. On this day in 1919, in the imperial capital of the mainland, a student movement, mainly young students, broke out. The broad masses, citizens, business people and other middle and lower classes participated in a demonstration, petition, strike, and violent confrontation with the government. Form of patriotic movement. It is the patriotic movement of the Chinese people against imperialism and feudalism. In order to remember this historic day, May 4th of each year is designated as the "Youth Day"! On May 4, 1978, on the other side of the sea, "China Youth" magazine and "China Youth Daily" resumed publication. On this side of the strait, the "Fengyun Daily" with amazing future influence also came out on this day! ¡­¡­ Early in the morning, the delivery staff who were ready for a long time dressed in uniform, rode their bikes across the streets of Xiangjiang, and delivered newspapers and magazines non-stop. As usual, Ma Hui came to his cousin¡¯s newsstand, took out a large stack of newspapers and magazines, and put them on his cousin¡¯s stall. "Uncle cousin, you want one hundred and fifty copies of "Jiuding Daily", ten copies of "Economics" magazine, and fifty copies of "Fengyun Daily", you count." Ma Hui said to the newsstand owner with a grin. The boss of the newspaper booth smiled heartily: "What count, you kid dare not miss me." As he said, he began to divide the newspapers. First, he took out ten "Economics" magazines and placed them in the most prominent position of the newsstand, and then put "Jiuding Daily" in the middle of the pile of newspapers. Finally, it was the turn. The first time I saw Fengyun Daily. shook his head with emotion. The boss of the newsstand directly placed "Fengyun Daily" next to "Jiuding Daily", the location is also very conspicuous, although he has not read it, he still has confidence in "Fengyun Daily". This is because after a few months, whether it is "Jiuding Daily" or "Economics" magazine, he has left an impression of high quality, and the quality of Fengyun Daily, which is a female compatriot of the two, is naturally not bad. . Of course, the most important thing is that these two make him the most money! "Huizai, you can go to work as soon as possible. If the "Fengyun Daily" is not sold enough, I will call your company as soon as possible!" "Okay, uncle cousin, I''m leaving now! Go to your house to play with cousin at night!" After Ma Hui finished speaking, he rode in his car and rushed to the next newsstand. "Come on, pretty boy, look at the "Fengyun Daily", you have such a reputation, how can you see it!" Seeing a customer picking up a copy of "Jiuding Daily" and wanting to pay and leave, the boss of the newsstand quickly picked up a copy of "Fengyun Daily" to sell him. The customer raised his eyebrows and showed interest. He didn''t care about the money for the extra newspaper. He took it and said casually: "Then come for another copy of Fengyun Daily!" After receiving the change that the boss had asked for, the customer was walking and reading with the newspaper, and was immediately attracted by the news outside Hong Kong, especially in the United States, the United Kingdom and other places. A strong sense of novelty came over and made him My interest increased, and I read with relish. "Boss, I heard that "Fengyun Daily" is on sale today, do you have it here?" "Yes, it''s right next to "Jiuding Daily", you take it yourself!" ¡­¡­ This scene not only happened in Hong Kong and Omen, but also happened in Southeast Asia. Following this, the actual sales of Fengyun Daily continued to rise. Luo Yanming, the editor-in-chief of "Sheng Pao", also asked his subordinates to buy "Fengyun Daily" immediately and start browsing and analyzing. "The current political news is very accurate, and the writing is very sharp. Let me see, it turns out that he wrote it. When did he go to Jiuding Newspaper Company? No wonder this article is so well written!" "This is the same, so is that, these few are industry elite veterans, and they all became employees of Jiuding Newspaper Company!" "The people''s livelihood news is also very good, and the catch is the same as our "Sing Pao"!" "This international news..." When he saw the international news section, Luo Yanming frowned and looked at it seriously, then closed his eyes and started thinking. "Huh..." For a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath, his expression very solemn. Although he doesn''t want to face it, he has to admit that the news in this section is indeed very attractive. Even if he looks at it with scrutiny, he still can''t help but watch it with relish. And he found that each of these international news is very heavy and can attract the attention of readers. This level of heavy news does not happen every day in Xiangjiang, and it is generally good to have one every day. But Luo Yanming was shocked that every piece of news on the international news section of "Fengyun Daily" is a blockbuster news, which is naturally very attractive to many people. Luo Yanming couldn''t help but compare his own "Sheng Pao" with "Feng Yun Daily", and found sadly that the news that seemed a bit attractive in front of these heavy news seemed very boring! I''m afraid of comparison in everything! There is no harm without contrast! Luo Yanming is heartbroken! And one thing to think about, how does the authority of the newspaper come from? The most intuitive embodiment is in exclusive news! When other newspapers are not available, my own newspaper suddenly bursts out a blockbuster exclusive news, which will naturally increase sales by a large margin, and more importantly, it will give readers an impression that other newspapers are inferior to their own newspapers because of this Heavy news, other newspapers are not there. Isn''t that the strength is bad or what? The news released by Fengyun Daily is not only heavy, but also exclusive. This advantage is too obvious! Now not only people have nothing but others, but more advanced people have no other advantages! But think about it, in front of the world, Xiangjiang is a small place. "Fengyun Daily" collects the most important things that happened in many major countries around the world in a day ~ www.novelhall.com~ The essence is all brought together and presented in a unified manner. And how many important things can happen in Xiangjiang a day? Even if there is one a day, you can write a small section, if you write a few more shamelessly, it will not take up much of a newspaper! Such a gap can be imagined! Not only "Sheng Pao", Hong Kong, and all the newspapers in Southeast Asia are inferior to "Fengyun Daily" in quality. "Fengyun Daily" contains too much gold! At this moment, Luo Yanming felt frustrated. This gap cannot be made up in a short time. Even for some other tabloids, it has not been able to catch up for decades. After all, they have no ability to send reporters to the world. The powerful role of Jiuding News Agency has been well demonstrated in "Fengyun Daily"! Throughout Xiangjiang, Luo Yanming is not the only one who pays attention to Fengyun Daily. The bosses and editor-in-chief of major newspapers all changed their faces and numbed their scalp after seeing Fengyun Daily. Judging from the eyesight that they have cultivated over decades, Fengyun Daily is definitely able to firmly attract readers'' attention. Although "Fengyun Daily" has just been released, the sales data can only be calculated at night. But statistics are no longer needed, and they have already affirmed one thing in their hearts, that is, "Fengyun Daily" succeeded! If ¡¡¡¡ is unsuccessful, then they don¡¯t know what can be successful! Jiuding Newspaper Company has indeed raised another big shark, and it is also a very fierce big white shark among the sharks! Their trouble is coming again! Chapter 197: It succeeded! 500,000 copies! In an advertising company, a white-collar worker looked at the newspaper in his hand with emotion on his face and couldn''t help but want to tell others the news. He patted the arm of his colleague Aguang at the next table. "What''s the matter, Liu Hua, is there anything?" A Guang, a colleague, turned his head to look at him, and asked questioningly. "Aguang, do you know that the United States is more dangerous than our Xiangjiang! Don''t you plan to immigrate to the United States in the future? I advise you not to immigrate, or change to another country." Liu Hua persuaded with some bragging, his expression a bit mysterious. "No? How could the United States be more dangerous than our Xiangjiang? You are funny, like our Xiangjiang, the community is rampant, there are people sinking in the sea every day, the United States is so powerful, there must be no rampant underworld! How could it be more dangerous than Xiangjiang, you''re kidding !" My colleague A Guang looked unbelieving, and argued that in his impression, the United States is the most developed country in the world, and it must be very good in terms of public order and life! This kind of person is a typical person who thinks that foreign moons are rounder. "Really, I lied to you. Although our society is rampant in Hong Kong, all the people in the United States have guns. Every household has guns. Just yesterday, a man in New York, USA, rushed into the street with a gun and fired. People die on the spot, don¡¯t you say it¡¯s scary?" Seeing that his colleague A Guang did not believe him, Liu Hua was anxious, and immediately countered, giving clear examples. Seeing Liu Hua¡¯s serious expression, Ah Kuang''s heart was shaken, but he still didn¡¯t believe it and questioned: "Where did you hear the gossip?" "What gossip, this is authoritative news. It was reported in Fengyun Daily. Have you heard of Fengyun Daily? It is the same company as Jiuding Daily. Today is the first issue!" "Look at it, this newspaper is clearly written, how can you dare to fake things like this? It''s absolutely true!" Talking, Liu Hua grabbed the "Fengyun Daily" on the desktop and handed it to his colleague A Guang. The meaning in his eyes was very obvious. If you don''t believe it, you can see for yourself. At this time, A Guang was surprised and still didn''t want to believe it. He grabbed the newspaper, looked at the article Liu Hua pointed at, and quickly scanned it. As soon as he looked at the title, his expression changed, and then he looked down solemnly. For a long time, he let out a long breath, put the newspaper down in a daze, and muttered in frustration: "Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. There are hundreds of millions of guns in the United States, and as long as they go to someone else''s house without permission, the owner has the right to Those who came in were shot dead without any legal responsibility. This is terrible! Every year someone will die unjustly because of this!" "Moreover, I used guns to shoot on this street. It''s still in a super big city like New York. It really is more dangerous than Xiangjiang. At least in Xiangjiang now, there are very few groups that dare to shoot blatantly on the street!" "I still plan to immigrate to the United States in a few years. It seems that I can''t go. Otherwise, I don''t know when I am confused. Even if I want to immigrate, I will change to another country." After sighing, Ah Guang looked at the newspaper again, especially the headline of "Fengyun Daily" above. At this moment, he remembered "Fengyun Daily" deeply. It was indeed very useful. If it weren''t for "Fengyun Daily", he would not have known that all the people in the United States had guns, nor did he know that the Americans would be innocent of killing the intruder. This kind of thing that he believes in the tense spectrum actually exists. "How about, Aguang, how is the quality of this newspaper? I didn''t lie to you!" Liu Hua raised his brows, and asked with some humming. Seeing what Liu Hua looked like, A Guang rolled his eyes helplessly. Liu Hua saw it from the newspaper. This was all awkward. It really fits his personality and makes people want to beat him. "Cut, don''t you read it in the newspaper, let me see it and return it to you later!" As he said, A Guang who was in a bad mood took the newspaper and continued to read it, making it clear that he did not want to return it to Liu Hua so quickly. Liu Hua was dumbfounded when he saw this. He had just started to read Fengyun Daily, but he was taken over by A Guang. At this moment, he regretted a little bit. I regretted it! "Then look at it, I haven''t finished it yet!" curled his lips to remind him, seeing his colleague A Guang immersed in it and completely ignored him, Liu Hua looked unhappy and silently began to clean up his desk. ¡­¡­ Many people who bought "Fengyun Daily" are like Liu Hua. They shared this good newspaper with people around them for the first time, which led to the rapid growth of the reputation of "Fengyun Daily" and spread at an unparalleled speed. . After get off work at noon, the sales of Fengyun Daily exploded. For example, Ma Hui¡¯s cousin, who passed by his newsstand to buy newspapers at noon, nine out of ten came to buy Fengyun Daily. Fortunately, he noticed that something was wrong in the morning and asked Jiuding Newspaper Company to deliver another 100 newspapers. Otherwise, he would face the embarrassing situation of no newspapers to sell at noon. At that time, he watched the money slip away from him. Not heartbroken! On this day, many readers who read Fengyun Daily for the first time were attracted by the above content. The above news not only attracts people, but also popularizes some useful knowledge for them, so that they have a deeper understanding of foreign countries. , This newspaper is worth buying! In the evening, the sales data of the day was summarized and presented to Yan Wenhan. After reading it, Yan Wenhan immediately reported to the boss Xia Yu. Seeing Yan Wenhan walk in with a red face, Xia Yu knew that the sales of "Fengyun Daily" would never be bad, he couldn''t help smiling, and he was a little expectant. "Boss, please see, our "Fengyun Daily" is a great success!" Yan Wenhan said that he presented the statistics table to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu took it directly and looked at it quickly. At this look, the smile on his face bloomed completely. "Okay, okay!" Xia Yu exclaimed happily, in a very good mood! "Fengyun Daily" did not disappoint him, and the sales on the first day were very gratifying. Total sales reached nearly 500,000 copies. Among them, Xiangjiang Aomen combined, sold 170,000 copies that day, directly surpassing the second-ranked "Sing Tao Daily". Although 170,000 copies are less than half of the daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Hong Kong and Macau, and the advertising conversion rate is less than 50%, this is the first day. It may be affected by other factors. The readers of Jiuding Daily did not have time to buy Fengyun Daily but Xia Yu was also very satisfied with the sales, and he believed that with the quality of Fengyun Daily, it would soon be fermented. The next paragraph Time will be a period of rapid growth, and time is still long, he is not in a hurry! Next, the sales of Southeast Asian countries, the total sales of 285,000 copies of each country is considered very good. In addition, Taiwan Province has sold 40,000 copies through distributors. In island countries and South Korea, the distribution channels of Jiuding Newspaper have also been laid. Because the Chinese-language newspaper of "Jiu Ding Daily" is aimed at Chinese people, the main distribution channels are concentrated in island countries and some cities in South Korea where Chinese people live. Because the text is not clear, it can only be purchased by the Chinese, so the combined sales of the two countries are only nearly 3,000 copies, and the results are very inconspicuous. But Xia Yu was not disappointed. These three thousand copies already represent the entry of Fengyun Daily into the market. This is already a good sign. Next, we only need to find ways to expand sales and influence. Before "Fengyun Daily", "Jiuding Daily" had already entered the Korean market of the island country after the channel was laid. Today''s total daily sales volume is only about 5,000 copies. You must know that when the first day entered, "Jiuding Daily" The daily sales volume is less than 1,000 copies, and now it¡¯s good to have 5,000 copies! And "Fengyun Daily" can sell 3,000 copies on the first day. A large part of the reason is that "Jiuding Daily". For overseas Chinese, Chinese newspapers that can be seen are very rare. Suddenly there is a "Fengyun "The Daily" naturally did not hesitate to pay an extra for the newspaper. Chapter 198: 1 real role of 9 tripod news agency For "Fengyun Daily" such brilliant sales results, Xia Yu did not ask to conceal it. He had known for a long time that at this time almost all the newspapers were paying attention to their own "Fengyun Daily", and it would be impossible to hide it. And this kind of thing is not a shameful thing, but a kind of glory, why should he hide it? The most important thing is that Xia Yu should let colleagues in the media industry know about the existence of Jiuding News Agency, and attribute the success of "Fengyun Daily" to Jiuding News Agency to expand the influence of Jiuding News Agency. In Xia Yu''s mind, whether it is the "Jiuding Daily" that is about to enter the ranks of millions of sales now, or the "Economic" magazine with a weekly sales of 20,000 copies, or the "Fengyun Daily" that just came out now, in Jiuding News Agency In front of it, it seems unimportant! In Xia Yu''s heart, he had set a high expectation for Jiuding News Agency, but he did not tell Sun Xin and others, even Yan Wenhan did not tell him. Even now, it is estimated that Yan Wenhan and others think that Jiuding News Agency is a news gathering and editing platform, whose main role is to serve "Fengyun Daily" and other media. But is this really the case? Xia Yu would only say that if you really think so, it would be too superficial! If a newspaper wants to be recognized by all countries in the world, and its readers are all over the world, it will be more difficult! Is the American "Wall Street Journal" great? Daily sales in the United States alone exceed two million copies, but what about outside the United States? How many countries will people subscribe? ''S influence has reached a certain level, limited by various invisible obstacles and ceilings, it is difficult to go up. But the nature of news agencies is completely different from that of newspapers. The ceiling of the news agency is the highest in the media industry, and its influence is most likely to be the greatest. Actually, in a region, it is the TV station that best influences the people, but which country is willing to let other countries¡¯ TV stations enter its own country? Therefore, for this reason alone, it is doomed that a global TV station cannot appear. It will not be possible until the emergence of the Internet in later generations when a video website called a network TV station appears. But yutube is awesome, right? The annual net income is billions of dollars, more than one billion users, but you are not allowed to enter China! The news agency is different. It is a news provider and it is impossible to prohibit the local media from quoting or reporting on its news. As long as there is a newspaper citing its news, it must indicate the source, and that newspaper can show its influence. What if ten servings? What if it is one hundred copies? If it is done like the world¡¯s top news agency, a piece of news is quoted by countless media, the people covered by the influence will be all over the world. As long as Xia Yu holds Jiuding News Agency, anyone must weigh it before touching him. Can I withstand Xia Yu''s crazy counterattack! This is the important guarantee for the longevity of a family and power! This is the foundation of a family forever! Newspapers like "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" can protect Xia Yu from being fine in Xiangjiang, covering at most Southeast Asia, and the effect will be weakened. But what about countries and regions other than here? "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" are beyond their reach. Where can the forces of other countries have any scruples? Don¡¯t you still dare to attack Xia Yu? The success of Jiuding News Agency guarantees the safety of Xia Yu outside of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang and the world, the gap between the two has widened! ¡­¡­ The next day, the news was announced in Fengyun Daily. The total sales of the first phase reached 500,000 copies. This number completely silenced all colleagues. Although they can guess, "Jiuding Daily", which has a daily sales of 940,000 copies, helps with the promotion, the sales of "Fengyun Daily" will definitely not be bad. But they did not expect that they could reach the sales volume of 500,000 copies, and the sales volume of Xiangjiang and Omen reached 170,000 copies, which directly exceeded the sales volume of "Sing Tao Daily" and jumped to second place in one fell swoop. And the first throne is the brother of a female compatriot "Jiuding Daily"! After learning this data, Hu Xian, the editor-in-chief of "Sing Tao Daily", was silent for a long time. Looking at the gray sky outside the window, she felt a little breathless. There was a long silence. She picked up her mood and looked at Fengyun Daily again, her eyes constantly wandering in the newspaper, searching for something. "Jiuding News Agency!" "Where did this news come out, and this one, almost all!" "I didn''t notice this subscript yesterday. If the "Fengyun Daily" does not directly expose it today, I guess it will take a while to find out." "It now appears that the main reason for the success of "Fengyun Daily" is the existence of Jiuding News Agency. According to this article, Jiuding News Agency now has a news gathering and editing network all over the world, with 400 journalists and still Continue to expand the staff team. If this is true, then the power of Jiuding News Agency will be too great!" Hu Xian said with shocked emotion All the employees of his Sing Tao Newspaper Group totaled less than 200 people, but Jiuding News Agency alone had 400 people. Sure enough, he was rich and powerful enough to dare to expand like this. It¡¯s just that, as if thinking of something, her brows frowned, and she couldn''t figure out the meaning of Fengyun Daily. "It''s just "Fengyun Daily", or what kind of medicine does Jiuding News Company sell in Hulu? The Jiuding News Agency was exposed, and the major media were welcome to buy its news services. What kind of money could this make?" "This is to share the foundation of Fengyun Daily directly with peers. The advantage of Fengyun Daily will be greatly reduced. I don''t believe that the stock **** will make such an unwise choice. There must be a problem!" "Maybe this is his calculation, it must be waiting for us somewhere!" "Do you want to control us through Jiuding News Agency and abolish our news gathering and editing system? Later, we will cut off our news sources to clean up colleagues?" Thinking of this, the eager thought in Hu Xian''s heart suddenly went out. I don¡¯t blame her for speculating on the intentions of Jiuding Newspaper Company in a malicious way, but the situation now looks too weird. If she is Xia Yu, she will definitely further expand the advantages of Fengyun Daily and set up a few more newspapers to maximize the role of Jiuding News Agency, and let several newspapers invade the paper media industry as much as possible. Market share. She will never make the decision of Jiuding News Agency now! Unless she is stupid! It''s a pity, she really thinks too much, Xia Yu really doesn''t have the insidious ideas she thinks. Chapter 199: Hu Xian wants to build Sing Tao News Agency? No way, compared with Xia Yu, Hu Xian''s structure is too small, and his eyes have been narrowed to the media industry, and he is only limited to Southeast Asia and the Xiangjiang area. And Xia Yu has the sun and the moon in his chest, and he has a long-term vision! Although they are in Xiangjiang, they have already looked at the world. Where will they count their Xiangjiang counterparts? They? Xia Yu hasn''t paid attention yet! ¡­¡­ "It''s just that the power of Jiuding News Agency is obvious to all. On the first day, my "Sing Tao Daily" was seriously affected. The sales of Hong Kong and Omen alone fell by nearly 5,000 copies. The entire Southeast Asia In total, it also dropped by nearly 10,000 copies! And this is only the first day!" "As long as Jiuding News Agency is in hand, the quality of "Fengyun Daily" will never be bad, so it is completely conceivable that the daily sales of 500,000 copies is just the beginning, and sales will only get higher and higher in the future. It is difficult to guarantee I won''t catch up with "Jiuding Daily", and my life will be even more sad by then!" "At that time, the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" do not know where it will fall. I definitely can''t just sit back and wait, I must find a way!" Hu Xian frowned and thought, thinking hard, trying to find a way to solve the current dilemma. "If you don''t need news from Jiuding News Agency, then the quality of news is definitely not as good as that of Fengyun Daily, unless... there is news from another news agency!" "Yes, there seems to be news agencies in Europe and America. I should be able to quote their news!" Hu Xian''s eyes lit up and he thought of a way. Just thinking about it again, she felt something was wrong again. The essence of using news from news agencies in Europe and America and using news from Jiuding News Agency was still the same, except that the influence of one enemy was missing. "It''s just... this is not a long-term solution after all, it will form dependence, and gradually lose independence, it is always wrong!" "It doesn''t matter if you just quote a few pieces of news, but in the current situation, if you want to resist the influence of Fengyun Daily, you can''t solve it with a few pieces of news. The overall news quality must be improved. This will definitely lose your autonomy! " Thinking of this kind of harm, Hu Xian was very unwilling. Although she is a woman, she has the ambitions of a man as powerful as a man. She is typically a career-type strong woman, so she has the title of queen of the newspaper industry. Now I want her to choose to hand over the future of "Sing Tao Daily" to other news agencies. The purpose is to resist "Feng Yun Daily". This is nothing she can do! But if you don¡¯t do that, how can you break the game? Hu Xian closed her eyes and started thinking hard. Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind and her eyes lit up. "Yes, since Jiuding Newspaper Company can build a news agency in a short time, then I can build one too!" "Other newspapers do not have such conditions, but my Sing Tao News Group Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the Southeast Asian market for decades. It has already had a basis for being a news agency. Then, like Jiuding News Agency, the world will have news editing and editing branches. , I can also create it!" "I don''t believe that other newspapers will live on the snort of Jiuding News Agency. As long as I build a news agency, I believe that many newspapers will be transferred to me. Maybe I can form a rivalry with Jiuding News Agency!" "At that time, with the news agency, my company''s foundation is definitely stronger than it is now. Maybe I can launch a newspaper again like Jiuding Newspaper. At that time..." Thinking of this, Hu Xian only felt the depression in her heart disappeared, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt feasible, and it was of great benefit to her. As for whether she could successfully build a news agency, the idea didn''t come to her mind. In her opinion, Jiuding Newspaper Company can succeed, how could she not succeed? Although Jiuding Newspaper is now the leader of the industry, it is still a recruit. Her family¡¯s Sing Tao News Corporation has a history of 39 years from 1939 to the present. The experience and heritage accumulated over so many years is not to say. It''s that simple! She is very confident about building a news agency! It¡¯s a big deal to follow the model of Jiuding News Agency! Didn¡¯t Jiuding Newspaper follow her "Sing Tao Daily" when it opened up distribution channels in Southeast Asia? She had found out a long time ago, but this is something that can''t be stopped, so it is regarded as not seen, but it does not mean that she has not remembered it. Now she is going to develop her own news agency based on the model of Jiuding News Agency. Of course she will not be embarrassed! I decided to build a news agency! At this moment, she has even figured out her name, and then she will be called Sing Tao News Agency! Thinking of this, Hu Xian clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to show Jiuding Newspaper Company and let other colleagues see that her title of "Queen of Newspaper Industry" was not for nothing, she would never sit and wait for death! Suddenly, she thought of a question and couldn''t help but frown. If you want to build a news agency, you must have a lot of money. If it is built on the scale of Jiuding News Agency, UU Reading has 400 employees, and it consumes even more money. Now her company simply can¡¯t come up with so much money. This year, because of the sudden emergence of "Jiuding Daily", followed by the emergence of "Economics" magazine, a more powerful advertiser that swallows big players. The big benefactors of the "Daily" have switched to the arms of Jiuding Newspaper Company. In the past few months, her company¡¯s advertising revenue has fallen by more than 20% year-on-year, and the loss is very large! Not only that, but in the past few months, in order to deal with the pressure of "Jiuding Daily" and find ways to increase the sales of "Sing Tao Daily", she has also made major reforms and increased the cost of manuscripts to improve the quality of newspaper articles. Of course, the biggest expense is to recruit staff and expand distribution channels. In the past few months, except for the increasing operating expenses of the company, she has almost smashed all the profits in. Now the company can''t afford to spend money to build a news agency! But she has already decided that it is imperative to build a news agency, and if there is no money, we must build it! Otherwise, he would just wait to die and watch the "Sing Tao Daily" gradually weaken. Instead of being slowly boiled to death like a frog boiled in warm water, it''s better to give it a try. Moreover, the chance of success seems to be great! "Then take a loan. It just so happens that the Chen family of Pangu Bank of Thailand has a good relationship with my family. They have asked me several times and wanted to give me a loan. I didn''t need the loan before, so I refused. Now I can find them, trust them. I will definitely not refuse!" After thinking about it, Hu Xian acted immediately. She is such a turbulent personality. After finding the phone, she immediately dialed the phone... Chapter 200: Do things with a big picture (2 in 1 big In addition to Hu Xian, Xiangjiang''s other colleagues also saw the introduction of Jiuding News Agency in Fengyun Daily. When I saw the sales volume of 500,000 copies of Fengyun Daily, many small newspapers were excited and sent people to Jiuding Newspaper Company to inquire about the specific situation. These small newspapers sold only a few thousand copies a day, and tens of thousands of copies were considered very good. They barely had enough food and clothing, and they had no strength. Instead, every time the big guys fight, they are affected. Now that the "Fengyun Daily" is on sale, their sales have also been seriously affected. But after all, the gap with "Fengyun Daily" was too big, and they recognized it. I just didn''t expect that "Fengyun Daily" would expose its powerful secrets and want to share it with them. This is obviously an opportunity! may not only reverse the crisis, but also take the opportunity to go further! This opportunity must be seized, as long as the conditions are not harsh! Is there any conspiracy? They don''t bother to think about it, after all, they are already so bad. It''s like a person is already wearing torn straw sandals, still caring about not wearing straw shoes? And they don¡¯t believe that their own belongings can win the eyes of Jiuding Newspaper Company, which is worthy of calculation by Jiuding Newspaper Company. Maybe you can seize this opportunity to make your own newspaper sales explode? As for whether you can find opportunities, it''s up to your own ability! In addition to these small newspapers that act immediately, the person in charge of other newspapers such as "Sheng Pao", "Hong Kong Economic Journal" and "Ta Kung Pao", after thinking for a while, intends to send people to understand the situation first, and then it depends on the situation. After all, their family has a lot of business, and the decision is not so good. An article published in "Fengyun Daily" immediately stirred up the situation in the media industry in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia! ¡­¡­ Jiuding News Agency is very busy, and many colleagues in the media industry sent people to consult Jiuding News Agency¡¯s external news service business. In the building of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan stood in front of the glass windows on the third floor, watching the flow of people coming in and out downstairs, and a smile was unknowingly at the corner of Xia Yu¡¯s mouth. At this moment, he Good mood! It is foreseeable that as long as the media purchases the news service of Jiuding News Agency and quotes the news of Jiuding News Agency, his influence will grow. This is a good thing! How to not make Xia Yu happy? It¡¯s just that Yan Wenhan, who was standing behind Xia Yu, looked at the flow of people coming in and out below, and thinking about the first release of "Fengyun Daily", which sold more than 500,000 copies. He was full of doubts. When he worked for the Financial Times before, the Financial Times had business dealings with the world¡¯s four major news agencies, the only one located in the UK, Reuters. The Financial Times was also one of Reuters¡¯ subscribers. He certainly has some understanding of the business model. In addition, in order to build Jiuding News Agency, he and others have carefully studied the models of several major news agencies, so he has not little knowledge about news agencies. The boss Xia Yu also said that Jiuding News Agency should provide news services to the outside world. He certainly agrees that this is the mainstream development direction of news agencies in the world. But the only thing that makes him wonder, why is it so fast? can''t you wait any longer? Let Fengyun Daily monopolize this advantage as much as possible for a longer period of time and expand sales as much as possible! In the final analysis, he was affected by the sales and hot prospects of Fengyun Daily, and he did not thoroughly understand the nature of the news agency, let alone what Xia Yu cares more about! Xia Yu turned his head and saw Yan Wenhan''s slightly frowning brow and a worried look. He smiled slightly, knowing that something was going on in his heart. "Come, sit down!" Xia Yu did not rush to ask, but brought Yan Wenhan to the sofa, and the two sat down face to face, leisurely picking up the teapot to make tea. Seeing Xia Yu''s movements, Yan Wenhan was startled, and immediately wanted to rush to make tea. "Boss, let me come!" "No, sit down and see how my craft is!" Xia Yu stretched out his hand to stop Yan Wenhan''s movement, and said undoubtedly. Seeing that Xia Yu was serious, Yan Wenhan could only sit back in silence and waited quietly. Xia Yu''s tea-making action is as relaxing and comfortable as running clouds and flowing water, and it is very beautiful. Yan Wenhan, who has seen it for the first time, can¡¯t help but sigh: "Boss, your tea-making technique is too clever, it looks pleasing to the eye." Hearing Yan Wenhan''s flattery, Xia Yu laughed and didn''t try to be humble. After all, he inherited the tea-making skills that others have honed for decades, and deserves Yan Wenhan''s praise. "Come on, have tea!" "thank you boss!" Yan Wenhan nodded, and after thanking him, he picked up his teacup and drank. After drinking a cup of hot tea, Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan with a full face and looked at Yan Wenhan, and found that his mood was also much calmer, before Xia Yu spoke slowly. "Wenhan, you can''t figure out why I let Jiuding News Agency provide external services so quickly, right?" Yan Wenhan was startled, took a peek at Xia Yu, and found that the boss was smiling and looking straight at him. He realized that the boss had already guessed his thoughts, and he didn¡¯t need to hide it. It happened that he really couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I haven¡¯t figured out your intentions yet.¡± Seeing Yan Wenhan''s euphemism, Xia Yu smiled and said: "The success of Fengyun Daily is due to Jiuding News Agency, but this is not the only reason. You are worried that after Jiuding News Agency provides news services to the outside world, If the "Fengyun Daily" will be affected, then you don''t have to worry about it. Now you are out of balance between gains and losses and you have not figured it out. This is why I asked you to come up. I will tell you a few points and you will understand ." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Yan Wenhan knew that the boss was about to let go of the dry goods. He immediately leaned forward to look like he was listening, watching Xia Yu quietly, waiting for his explanation. "Our "Fengyun Daily" was able to have 500,000 sales in the first day. In addition to the high-quality news provided by Jiuding News Agency, there are two very important reasons. One is the full support of "Jiuding Daily" and the second is Our distribution channels have played a major role!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Yan Wenhan nodded in agreement. This is indeed the case. The smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alleys. Even if the quality of "Fengyun Daily" is good, without the full promotion of "Jiuding Daily", who knows? If you wait until the "Fengyun Daily"''s word of mouth is fermented to promote sales, if you want to achieve a daily sales of 500,000 copies, three months will not know if it will be enough! Seeing Yan Wenhan''s understanding, Xia Yu said again: "And don''t ignore the content of the current affairs and people''s livelihood of our "Fengyun Daily", as well as the quality of other small sections of news!" "So you should have confidence in our newspaper!" Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan with a light smile, Yan Wenhan thought for a while and nodded. "As for you worry that after other newspapers buy the news service of Jiuding News Agency, the advantage of Fengyun Daily will be lost, that is even more impossible!" "The more you order the news service of Jiuding News Agency, the higher the cost. Guess how many media outlets in Hong Kong dare to subscribe to the highest-level news service at once?" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan with a smile. Yan Wenhan''s eyes brightened, and he blurted out: "There will definitely not be more. Those three-stream media do not have this strength, and at most subscribe a small part of the business, only the big media can subscribe." "Those big media, do you guess they dare to subscribe all? After the full subscription, do they dare to change the edition in the direction of Fengyun Daily?" Xia Yu asked back. "Don''t dare, now the newspapers have been finalized. We developed the international news section. They want to revise the edition. It is definitely a very troublesome thing. Maybe it will let the original readers pass away. The risk is too great, the best The solution is to set up a new newspaper!" "But they will definitely not be able to catch up with us when they set up a new newspaper. After all, the news agency is ours. No matter what, we are one step ahead. Moreover, "Fengyun Daily" has become a big trend. It is difficult for other newspapers to break out. It must be differentiated competition, and it is possible to use the news of another news agency!" "And now Xiangjiang is the only one of our Jiuding News Agency. Even if they go to other news agencies abroad, the price is high. The efficiency is really not as fast as our own news. Unless they also have a similar strength. news agency!" Yan Wenhan immediately brightened his eyes and figured out a lot, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a long paragraph. Seeing Yan Wenhan think so much, Xia Yu nodded with a smile. "This is the truth, and now it is forced by the general trend, forcing them to subscribe to news to ease the impact of "Fengyun Daily" on them!" "If they don''t order, it will have no effect on us." "If we do not open up and force other newspapers to fall into crisis, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not unite to form a news agency to protect themselves. Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry! At that time, we will completely stand on the opposite side of all our colleagues. Have you thought about it?" "We are now opening up the news agency business in advance to show our goodwill and incorporate them." "Business is inexhaustible. The relationship between our company and Xiangjiang''s other colleagues is very bad. Our rise has encroached on the interests of all colleagues. Now they are only succumbing to our lust. You should also be aware of this. Lack of a group of young brothers who are waving the flag!" "Now we are in great power, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only endure it, but you can guarantee that someday they will not stand on the opposite side of us? By then, we can fight against ten newspapers, can we deal with 100 newspapers? ?" Hearing this, Yan Wenhan''s face turned pale, and the boss Xia Yu said it was entirely possible. He was dazzled by the booming development of Jiuding Newspaper Company and did not consider the possible crisis. If the crisis accumulates to a certain level and there is no way to hide it, and he has no means to deal with it, then it will be really late! So the best way is to eliminate the crisis in advance! Let it not appear! "What''s more, we now have a copy of "Fengyun Daily" to report international news. The newspaper''s page is not enough. Many big news will be buried. Just like this time, don''t we still have a lot of news to report?" "News pays attention to effectiveness. These news are also the result of our staff''s labor. Instead of wasting it, it is better to replace it with income as soon as possible and expand the influence of the news agency." "We have so many advantages and are stronger than them, and more competition is also good. It can urge us to make continuous progress, otherwise there will be no pressure, and it will be easy to be arrogant and stand still. This kind of harm is the greatest!" "So opening up the business of Jiuding News Agency early will benefit us a lot, and the risks are acceptable to us." "Moreover, there is the most important point!" Having said this, Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan with a serious expression. Yan Wenhan immediately concentrated his attention, waiting for the following. "The water in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia is too shallow now, and I will get out of this place sooner or later. Then, at that time, do you think a copy of Fengyun Daily is important to me, or Jiuding News Agency is important to me?" Yan Wenhan was startled, and finally figured it out. It turned out that the problem was here. His starting point for thinking about the problem had always been how to develop Jiuding Newspaper, but he didn''t think about what the boss needs most. Now he finally understands! "Boss, I understand, I must do my best to make the news agency the best!" After ¡¡¡¡ figured it out, Yan Wenhan immediately raised the importance of news agencies in his heart, and solemnly promised. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, Yan Wenhan just figured it out, only then will he be more concerned about Jiuding News Agency, and be more beneficial to him. "But you have to pay attention. The Fengyun Daily is also very important. As long as there is no other news agency in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, there is actually no danger, but if it comes out, you must understand clearly before responding!" "Of course, if not, it couldn''t be better!" Xia Yu took another sip of tea and said with a light smile. "Don''t worry, boss, I will pay attention!" Yan Wenhan said solemnly. "I have a sentence for you. The width of your horizon determines the height of your thinking. You have to jump out of your own circle when you look at the problem, so that the strategy and tactics formulated can be brilliant and will not be blinded!" Xia Yuyu said earnestly. Yan Wenhan was taken aback, thought for a while, then slowly nodded, looked at Xia Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, boss, for your guidance. I will definitely figure it out!" Seeing Yan Wenhan listened, Xia Yu said with satisfaction. "Well, go ahead and report to me if you have anything!" "Then boss, I''m leaving now!" Seeing Yan Wenhan leave here with high spirits, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. Yan Wenhan just figured it out, so that he can not delay the development of Jiuding News Agency, and he will be more motivated to work. This is what Xia Yu needs, otherwise he will not specifically come to him to solve his confusion. Now Yan Wenhan is capable enough to take charge of the company, but what he lacks is the overall view. Shopping malls are like battlefields. If business is always limited to one city and one pool in front of you, without looking at the overall situation, the business will not be big after all, and it will not last long. But compared to Sun Xin and the others, Yan Wenhan''s abilities are considered outstanding. After all, he has seen the world anyway, unlike Sun Xin and the others, who had been nestled in a small newspaper that sold thousands of copies a day before. So in the final analysis, the Jiuding Newspaper Company can be regarded as Xia Yu¡¯s eyes, most likely to follow him to the end, there is one and only Yan Wenhan at present, it is no wonder Xia Yu wants to cultivate him so hard Up. There is not enough manpower, so I can only dig and cultivate more internally! A group of wolves, no matter how powerful the wolf king is, it needs a group of fierce men to execute the wolf king''s offensive tactics! Fuck dim sum, just **** dim sum! Chapter 201: 1.5 million The next day, under Yan Wenhan''s high expectations, the daily sales of Fengyun Daily declined, from 500,000 copies to 450,000 copies. If we get rid of the new readers on this day, the number of lost readers actually exceeds 50,000. This makes Yan Wenhan a little puzzled. But after reporting to Xia Yu, Xia Yu''s face was calm, so Yan Wenhan didn''t need to care. Turnips and vegetables have their own loves. International news is interesting, but there are always people who don¡¯t like it. I was able to rush to half a million copies on the first day, which was already too high, and it made Xia Yu a little surprised. At the beginning, his psychological expectation was 400,000 copies. But after thinking about it, the "Jiuding Daily" should have become more popular and aroused the curiosity of many readers, so I bought a copy of "Fengyun Daily" to take a look. After being curious, I found that I didn¡¯t like to watch this kind of news, so I would definitely be too lazy to buy it again, and the decline in sales would be normal! So marketing is very important, but some people just don¡¯t like it, so they can¡¯t force it! But Xia Yu is also very confident that sales will surely rise again in the coming days. As expected by Xia Yu, the daily quality of Fengyun Daily is very high. Readers can gain a lot of knowledge when reading news and increase their understanding of foreign countries, which benefits them a lot. is the word-of-mouth that "Fengyun Daily" is rising every day. As the word-of-mouth is growing day by day, since the sales fell the next day, sales began to rise again in the next few days. 470,000 copies! 490,000 copies! Five hundred and twenty thousand copies! 550,000 copies! This kind of achievement and trend made Yan Wenhan completely relieved and devoted himself to work more passionately and motivated. And other colleagues are also deeply aware that "Fengyun Daily" is completely firmly established. The second child in the newspaper industry has appeared, and he belongs to Jiuding Newspaper Company. Now in the entire Xiangjiang Omen and Southeast Asian markets, Jiuding News is already far ahead, and the only one that can barely keep up. Sing Tao News Group Co., Ltd.¡¯s "Sing Tao Daily" is the only one to squeeze into the first echelon. If the "Sing Tao Daily" loses its strength and is thrown out of the first echelon, then the paper media industry will become Jiuding Newspaper Company and other peers. This picture, thinking about it, makes other colleagues shudder. ¡­¡­ Behind the brilliance of "Fengyun Daily", what colleagues see is the important role of Jiuding News Agency. After consulting, other talents found that the conditions of Xian Jiuding News Agency were very relaxed, as long as they paid the money and marked the news from Jiuding News Agency. There is nothing wrong with this request. They all agreed to it when they understood that other news agencies in the world are also like this. This is not an excessive requirement, it is just a standard news source. When their newspapers reprint news, they don¡¯t need a standard source! Because of loose conditions, many newspapers have subscribed to the news service of Jiuding News Agency. The only difference is that different levels of news service correspond to different prices. After six days, the total amount of business contracts that have been signed has reached 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and there are 18 media outlets buying business. Among them, three have purchased the top-notch service. Among the big newspapers, Sing Pao is the most determined. The other two are small newspapers. One is a newspaper with a daily sales of only 5,000 yuan. Multiple newspapers. The two companies obviously have the mentality of "giving a try and turning bicycles into motorcycles." They bet that they can follow the "Fengyun Daily" and have a sip of soup, but the two newspapers also believe that even if they have a sip of soup, they can have a drink. Good harvest. Of course, the two newspapers have really succeeded since then, and their sales have exploded. In the future, they have rushed to the threshold of 50,000 copies per day. The helms of the two companies have been grateful for the original decision. Except for these three, the other media are small newspapers. They want to change, but their determination is not big enough, and they don''t have the determination and courage to fight back. As for other major newspapers such as Hong Kong¡¯s Ming Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Ta Kung Pao, South China Morning Post, and Southeast Asian newspapers such as Nanyang Commercial Daily and Sin Chew Daily, they are still waiting and watching. He did not rush into the arms of Jiuding News Agency, and he was obviously wary of Jiuding News Agency. This situation, Xia Yu didn''t care when he knew it. This kind of thing could not come in a hurry. As long as they realized that buying the news service of Jiuding News Agency only had benefits and no harm, they would naturally vote for it one by one. It''s just that it was a little late at that time. The longer it is, although it will have a certain impact on the development of Jiuding News Agency, it will also have a great impact on their newspapers. After all, under the joint attack of "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily", their lives are destined to become more and more sad. If they don''t seek change, they will only be unlucky. If they fall one by one, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Newspaper Company will benefit the most. And Hong Kong¡¯s TV and cable stations have not purchased the news service of Jiuding News Agency, but I heard that a cable station is already discussing this matter. Presumably, soon, there will be TV stations or cable stations buying news services! ¡­¡­ It''s the seventh day of the publication of Fengyun Daily. Xia Yu handled some company affairs in the office as usual. After the handling was completed, he continued to write "Xun Qin Ji". After so long, in addition to normal work every day, I wrote "Xun Qin Ji" in my free time. Today, there are only the last 1,000 words left. "Sha Sha Sha..." The pen tip slides on the paper, making a rustle. End of the book! After writing these three words with dragons and phoenixes, Xia Yu let out a long sigh, showing a knowing smile, and then put down the pen. "Finally finished writing, freed! It''s really a big project!" Leaning on the chair and looking at the notebook full of handwriting on the table, Xia Yu was full of emotion. "Xun Qin Ji" contributed a very important force to his career. After more than five months, it is finally completed today. It is 1.6 million words. It is really not easy! And the "Jiuding Daily" has already serialized about 1.3 million words, and there are still 300,000 words left without serialization. But now "Jiuding Daily" has almost got rid of the shackles of "Xun Qin Ji", and the novel section of the newspaper is completely different from when "Xun Qin Ji" was independently supported at the beginning. can now be said to be a gathering of heroes! The platform of the "Jiuding Daily" itself is also large enough to attract the authors of martial arts novels. With Yan Wenhan''s efforts, Wen Rui''an, one of the masters of martial arts novels, was directly robbed. After "Jiuding Daily" paid a part of the liquidated damagesWen Ruian''s "Shenzhou Qi Xia Zheng Chuan" was directly transferred to the "Jiuding Daily", and also signed a ten-year long contract with Wen Rui''an. , Tied him to the chariot of "Jiuding Daily". In addition to Wen Rui''an, the master of martial arts novels, the latest result is that Liang Yusheng, another master of martial arts novels, also opened a new book in "Jiuding Daily". "Jiuding Daily" easily defeated the competitor "Xiangjiang Commercial Daily" and won the serial copyright of Liang Yusheng''s new book "Wulin Tianjiao". In addition to these two martial arts novel masters, there are also martial arts novel masters such as Zhuge Qingyun who have also been dug over. In addition, there are also the martial arts fiction writers that the "Jiuding Daily" had previously promoted by themselves. Several of them have gained good popularity through the broad platform of "Jiuding Daily" and have become famous martial arts novelists. These few people have deeply realized the " The importance of the platform of "Jiuding Daily", clung to the thigh tightly and refused to let it go. With so many famous martial arts novelists joining, "Jiuding Daily" has gathered a large number of fans of martial arts novels. These fans have sold 940,000 copies of "Jiuding Daily". No, it has sold 950,000 copies now. , Contributed a large part of sales. It is precisely because of this that Xia Yu said that the importance of "Xun Qin Ji" to "Jiu Ding Daily" has been greatly reduced. Even if "Looking for the Qin" is stopped, readers can still read other novels, and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" will not drop. In view of this situation, Xia Yu decided to let "Xun Qin Ji" burn himself, bursting out the last energy at one time, and boosting Xia Yu''s career. That is¡­¡­ Chapter 202: 3-step expansion strategy Let "Xun Qin Ji" be published again! and including the 300,000 words that have not yet been serialized, all published at once! Xia Yu intends to give Jiuding Book Publishing Company a glorious start with "Looking for the Qin", build the company''s reputation, and stabilize the book company''s distribution channels. He believes that with this one-time release of 300,000 words of''fat meat'', it can definitely arouse the passion of readers, and sales will definitely explode by then, leaving an unparalleled record for Jiuding Book Publishing Company. This record is very resounding. The signboard is the embodiment of strength! The society is very realistic and the interests are the most moving! Except for a small number of authors, most of the authors write books to make money. If Jiuding Book Publishing Company proves that it has the ability to sell more of the author''s books and allow the author to make more money, then the author is definitely more willing to submit his work to Jiuding Book Publishing Company for publication. is the same. Holding this sign, in the future, Jiuding Book Publishing Company will be in no trouble when signing books! There are some who can create this golden sign, and only have proven their strength, set a record, and the latest record is the "Xun Qin Ji" with the highest sales of 20,000 copies! With the manuscript of "Searching for the Qin", Xia Yu came to Jiuding Book Publishing Company and found Gavin Peter, the general manager of the company who had been working hard to build the company. "Boss, you are here!" Seeing Xia Yu''s figure, Gavin Peter greeted him with a smile. "Gaiwen, take it, this is the final manuscript! Hurry up and print the last book." Xia Yu nodded slightly, then handed the manuscript in his hand to Gavin Peter and said. Seeing the manuscript, Gavin Peter couldn''t help but be overjoyed and immediately took it. He has been waiting for many days, and now he finally has the final manuscript! "Boss, I will arrange for someone to verify the draft and typeset immediately, and strive to start printing tomorrow!" Gavin Peter said without ambiguity. "Well, you order first, then come to me, I''m in the office!" After speaking, Xia Yu walked towards the office. In the past two months, Jiuding News Agency has been established, and Jiuding Book Publishing Company has not been idle. Gavin Peter¡¯s ability is very strong. It took less than half a month to build the complete framework of the company. Every department hired a person in charge, and then quickly filled the staff of each department. The next step is to formulate the company''s short-term, mid-term, and long-term strategic planning. After making these plans, Gavin Peter reported to Xia Yu as soon as possible, and Xia Yu directly agreed to his plan. Because there are too many types of book publishing industry, there are popular fiction, social sciences, business non-fiction, high-end popular fiction with high cultural content, high-end literary works, politician books, children''s books, popular science books, etc. Jiuding Book Publishing Company is a newly established company after all. Although it has certain strength, it still has to choose one or more items, so that it can use limited resources to create the greatest value. It''s useless to have a blog instead of being precise! In combination with social conditions and company advantages, Gavin Peter plans to make Jiuding Book Publishing Company take three steps. The first step is to become the largest book publishing company in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. The second step is to set up branches in Europe and the United States to become a large international company and gain a firm foothold. The third step is to start the acquisition model and acquire other companies to make up for the shortcomings of Jiuding Book Publishing Company and make it a top company in the publishing industry. In addition to the general direction of the three-step strategy, the first step strategy has a detailed plan, and the second and third steps need to be adjusted according to the implementation of the first step strategy plan, so they just set the tone. Make a detailed plan. In the first step of the strategic plan, combining the company''s strengths and social realities, Gavin Peter decided to establish a foothold in the three aspects of popular novels, high-end popular novels and high-end literary works. The most important of these is popular novels, which can make achievements in the shortest time and allow the company to settle down. In the general category of popular novels, there are different sub-categories according to different languages ??and cultures. Now, what is suitable for Jiuding Book Publishing Company is to publish martial arts novels. In Xiangjiang Omen and even Southeast Asia, martial arts novels are popular, and the market has been opened up long ago. It is the least difficult to develop and the easiest to achieve results. For this reason, Gavin Peter also specially set up a martial arts novel signing group. Since he doesn''t know much about martial arts novels, in order not to affect the company, he also specially recruited a veteran in the martial arts novel publishing industry as the team leader. After more than a month, the work of the martial arts novel signing team is also very gratifying. One by one, the publishing rights of the works of the famous martial arts novels have been taken, even if the same stratification is given by other companies, considering the Jiuding Book Publishing Company Distribution network, those writers are willing to sell the copyright to Jiuding Book Publishing Company. So far has signed 35 martial arts novels, waiting to be published. It¡¯s just that although these martial arts novels are fine, they are still not qualified to be the top brand. In order to make Jiuding Book Publishing Company famous, the most suitable one is "Xun Qin Ji". So before "Xun Qin Ji" was published, other novels were pressed first. After the authors learned about the intentions of Jiuding Book Publishing Company, they had no objection. They heated up the market atmosphere, and if they followed suit, they would increase sales to a certain extent. A novel can be read very quickly, and it will not take up much time for the reader. When the time comes, it will become addictive. When the book is scarce, I naturally want to look for other books of the same kind. At that time, the sales of books published afterwards will definitely increase by one. wave. Now, even the printing branch of Jiuding Book Publishing Company in Jiuding Printing Factory has been built. Taking into account the nature of the book publishing company, the first phase of the branch was built according to the daily maximum printing volume of 200,000. It should be enough for the company in the short term. For the remaining unpublished one million-word novel, Xia Yu was divided into three books for publication. The third volume is 300,000 words, the fourth volume is 300,000 words, and the fifth volume is 400,000 words. The market retail price is four and five Hong Kong dollars respectively. , The ex-factory price is three and four yuan, and each book releases one Hong Kong dollar profit to the distributor. The third and fourth volumes, because they were written long ago, have also been serialized in the "Jiuding Daily". So I arranged printing early, but I don¡¯t know how many copies have been printed, Xia Yu waited for Gavin Peter to report the progress and plan to him. It didn¡¯t take long for Gavin Peter to arrive at the office after he arranged the work. Chapter 203: Xia Yu calculated that someone would be unlucky "Boss, things have been arranged. The rest of the manuscript can be calibrated today, and the official printing can be arranged tomorrow." Gavin Peter went straight to the subject and reported to Xia Yu as soon as he entered the office. "Well, good, sit down and say!" Xia Yu smiled satisfied and said with a gesture. The 300,000-character novel that has not been serialized before, has been written, and Xia Yu has given it to Gavin Peter, and has been reviewed and calibrated. The number of words in the manuscript just given is not too much, so it is normal that the calibration can be completed today. "How is the progress now?" Xia Yu leaned on the chair, looked straight at Gavin Peter, and asked. Gavin Peter knew what the boss was asking, and he started to report. "Boss, in terms of printing, one million copies have been printed for the third and fourth volumes of the general edition. In addition, the first and second volumes have printed another 100,000 copies each." "As for the fifth volume, since almost three-quarters of the content has not been serialized yet, the sales volume will definitely be higher. I plan to print 1.5 million copies directly. In order to print it out as soon as possible, Zhang Lei and I have After Ma Tengdonggou is passed, the printing plant of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will be used for printing, and the printing plant of Jiuding Newspaper Company will also share part of the task." "Except for the general edition, after I asked people to investigate it, I found that many readers were willing to buy a set of "Xun Qin Ji" for collection, so I printed another 10,000 sets of the hardcover collection version of "Xun Qin Ji", all of which have been printed. Stored in the warehouse." "The limited retail price of each set of the hardcover collector''s edition of novels is 40 Hong Kong dollars, and the ex-factory price is set at 32 Hong Kong dollars, leaving a profit of 8 Hong Kong dollars for dealers. Excluding the cost of equipment and plant input, only labor and labor are calculated separately. The cost of raw materials, our production cost is an average of 10 Hong Kong dollars per set, with a gross profit of 22 Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu nodded and said he had listened. He has already seen the sample of the hardcover collector''s edition. The cover design is very exquisite, and the outer packaging box is also high-end goods. It looks tall and fits well for collection. Xia Yu seems very satisfied anyway. And the hardcover collector''s edition of "Xun Qin Ji" also has some exquisite wallpapers and accessories inside. Only the collector''s edition has it, and it is not sold separately. This is also a small way to arouse readers'' desire to buy. And the price of 40 Hong Kong dollars, Xia Yu also thinks it is appropriate, after all, this is for a small number of high-spending people, so only 10,000 sets were printed. The general edition of five books costs 21 Hong Kong dollars, and the hardcover edition is less than twice as high, which is not expensive! As for using the printing factories of the other two companies to help with printing, this is also a trivial matter, especially Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Now it will take some time for the comic magazine "Zhiyin Manke" to come out, but the printing factory has already been built and it is empty. It doesn¡¯t matter if you leave it empty and let the book publishing company use it. These little things really don''t need Xia Yu to worry about. "How do you do your sales plan? How do you plan to operate?" Xia Yu asked again. "Boss, in order to set a record for our first day''s sales, I plan to make a pre-sale." Hearing this, Xia Yu showed interest and motioned to Gavin Peter to continue. "My plan is to notify all dealers, conduct unified marketing and open reservations, allow readers to make reservations, pay half of the money as a deposit, and the pre-sale quantity will be included in the first day''s sales." Gavin Peter said. Xia Yu nodded, this kind of pre-sale system is very common in later generations, especially in the Internet era, it has played many tricks, and now Gavin Peter said that if it is placed in later generations, it really may not be able to play. But in this era, and the hot selling "Xun Qin Ji" is still very suitable. The first is to ensure that the company grasps the market context in the first time, determines the printing quantity, and guarantees that there will be no out of stock. Second, it can also guarantee the interests of distributors, so that they will not buy goods blindly, and will not make less money by purchasing less goods. Distributors will definitely be happy to implement this system. When readers are willing to pay a deposit, they will almost certainly buy it, which can make dealers feel relieved to stock up. "Your plan is good, but there is one problem, and that is the deposit. If loopholes occur, trouble will easily occur. How do you plan to solve this problem?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked straight at Gavin Peter, waiting for his answer. "I have taken this into consideration. The deposit is collected by the dealer, but we have to issue a special bill that we prepare to the customer. The two should be cleared when the book is taken. If there is a problem with the confiscated bill, the dealer is careless and the responsibility is borne by them. This can protect the interests of readers to the greatest extent and avoid disputes." "When the dealer purchases, he must place an order in full, which can guarantee the safety of the deposit. Instead, it is the dealers who run away with the deposit and lose money. We can pay the readers in full at that time." "Moreover, with a deposit, the pressure on the dealer to order the full amount is also less, allowing the dealer to stock more goods, which is beneficial to both parties." Gavin Peter stated his thoughts truthfully, and Xia Yu nodded after listening, expressing agreement. "That''s OK, just do as you said. The official sales time should be set in seven days. You can execute the plan later." After rest assured, Xia Yu directly decided the sales time. Although there are only six days to print the last volume, the book company¡¯s own printing plant can print 1.2 million copies at full capacity. With the help of the other two printing plants, printing 1.5 million copies is another. Simple things. And Xia Yu also believes that these seven days are definitely enough! The news has already been released before, and the heat has already gained a little bit. Now it¡¯s enough to burn another fire. At that time, there will be a message in the martial arts section of the Jiuding Daily. Targeted marketing is better than any advertisement. After the plan was approved, Gavin Peter happily went to implement the plan. Xia Yu just stood up and wanted to visit Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in the same building. Suddenly the phone rang. When he saw that the phone number was the number of Jiuding Newspaper Company that had just left, he couldn''t help but frown. The phone is connected. "What?...Okay, I''ll come right now!" After speaking, Xia Yu hung up and rushed to Jiuding Newspaper Company. While sitting in the car, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and thought: "Sing Tao News Group also wants to build a news agency? It seems that the queen of newspapers has a relatively strong personality This step is to directly confront us. What the hell..." At the door of the company, Xia Yu got out of the car and went to the office, and found that Yan Wenhan was already waiting there. "Wenhan, what is the specific situation?" Just sitting down, Xia Yu asked. "Boss, after you talked to me five days ago, I sent someone to pay attention to the movements of several major newspapers, and I discovered that Sing Tao News Group is also planning to establish a news agency. It is already integrating the company. I also inquired Sing Tao News Corporation loaned to the Hong Kong branch of Pangu Bank of Thailand to establish a news agency. Sing Tao News Corporation intends to do so." Yan Wenhan immediately reported, and after speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the boss Xia Yu''s order. "Are you sure it''s a loan?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and confirmed again. "I''m sure it''s a loan, but I don''t know how much I borrowed." Yan Wenhan nodded seriously and affirmed, the only regret is that he didn''t inquire about the loan amount. Xia Yu nodded slightly, as long as it was confirmed that it was a loan, it would be easy to handle. "You also need to engage in news agencies for loans?" Xia Yu squinted his eyes slightly. "It seems that Sing Tao News Group''s life is not easy. Even the money to build the news agency has to be loaned. Is Hu Xian sure it must be useful..." Xia Yu touched his chin, his eyes were lost, but he wondered in his heart. Suddenly, a thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind. He couldn''t help but his eyes lit up. The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was possible, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Wenhan, don''t worry, maybe this is still a good thing!" Chapter 204: Someone wants to die Yan Wenhan was a little dumbfounded when he heard Xia Yu''s words. Is it good to have an opponent? Just seeing the intriguing smile on the boss''s face, Yan Wenhan felt that there must be something in it. "Boss, do you have any plans?" Yan Wenhan asked concerned. "If you want to build a news agency, it takes time and effort. Even if it takes so long like us, it will definitely not be as good as ours, and after a while, our news agency will go to the next level and Sing Tao News Group will build it. It''s also behind us to eat ashes." "You only need to send people to understand their progress. Our news agency must expand its business as soon as possible. As long as the market is occupied first, even if Hu Xian builds the news agency, it is useless." "Also, I will give you a task, you go..." At the end of hearing, Yan Wenhan had already guessed what the boss wanted to do. While silently mourning for Sing Tao News Group, he was also secretly excited. As long as this plan succeeds, the strength of the Jiuding News Company under his control will definitely increase sharply. How is he not excited? "Boss rest assured, I will not let you down!" Yan Wenhan promised, straightening his waist. The troubles are gone, he just feels full of energy now, he must seize the opportunity well. "Well, go!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. After Yan Wenhan went out, Xia Yu thought for a while, couldn''t help but smile again, his eyes became far-reaching and profound. ¡­¡­ It¡¯s just that Xia Yu¡¯s good mood didn¡¯t last long, and the phone in his office rang again. At first glance, it turned out to be the number of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Xia Yu frowned slightly, and secretly asked what was going on. He had just returned from there and his **** hadn¡¯t been hot yet, and now he called again. Generally, like the phone in Xia Yu''s office, it is not easy to tell outsiders. Those who make this call are also urgent, or people who are very close will make it. If it is a company business, the call is to Yan Wenhan, the general manager''s office, instead of Xia Yu. Now this call, it is likely that Ma Tengdong has something to do with him. "Hey¡­¡­" Xia Yu answered the phone, and it was Ma Tengdong¡¯s voice as expected. "What? You wait first, I''ll come right now!" After listening to Ma Tengdong''s words, Xia Yu''s brows became cold. He couldn''t explain the matter on the phone, so he hurriedly ended the call, stood up again, and walked outside. While walking, Xia Yu still thought, what a **** today, Jiuding News has just had a problem, and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has also had a problem, so he has to run back and forth. It¡¯s just the issue of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., which is more serious than that of Jiuding Newspaper Company. However, it is necessary to understand how serious it is. "Shining, go to the animation company!" As soon as he opened the car door, Xia Yu said, then sat down and fastened his seat belt. Yan Shining knew what might be happening when he looked at Xia Yu''s face, so he immediately started the car and drove towards the building of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. When I got out of the car, Xia Yu saw Ma Tengdong waiting at the door. When he saw Xia Yu, Ma Tengdong¡¯s face was full of shame. Just about to admit his mistake, Xia Yu directly waved his hand to stop him, nodded towards him and said, "Go, go in. Besides! You lead the way!" "Okay, boss, please follow me!" swallowed the words back into his stomach, Ma Tengdong nodded, and then led Xia Yu to a room. At the door of a room, there were two employees standing as temporary guards. Xia Yu nodded towards them, and then followed Ma Tengdong into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw several people in the room. One of them was Song Quanping, the chief writer of the "Dragon Ball" comic studio. A young man with glasses stood beside him. Opposite the two, there was a young man with a horse face and about 20 years old. At this time, the young man lowered his head and dared not look at the two Song Quanping with angry faces. Hearing the footsteps, several people inside looked over. When they saw Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong, Song Quanping immediately shouted respectfully: "Hello boss!" Xia Yu nodded and looked at the horse-faced youth who raised his head. After seeing Xia Yu, the face of the horse-faced youth suddenly turned pale. He immediately lowered his head and dared not look at Xia Yu, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. This situation made Xia Yu frowned. "Boss, Ma Rongcheng discovered the matter, and then reported to Song Quanping. Song Quanping told me immediately." Ma Tengdong said briefly, and then said to the young man named Ma Rongcheng: "Ma Rongcheng, like the boss, tell me what you found at that time." "Okay! Manager!" Ma Rong founded Ma Yingdao, and then quickly said: "I and Zhao Si are both members of the "Dragon Ball" studio. I felt something was wrong before. Zhao Si always likes to ask about this and that, and often writes secretly alone. He was the last one to write and paint. I thought he was serious at first." "On the way home from get off work yesterday, I remembered that I left my things in the office, so I ran back quickly, hoping that Zhao Si was still there, so I could get things." "It''s just that I was still on the way back to the company and saw Zhao Si waiting for someone with a black bag. I just wanted to run over and call him when I saw a car parked in front of Zhao Si. I didn''t run over. Unexpectedly, I happened to see Zhao Si handing the black bag to a person in the car, and that person I happened to meet was Huang Yulang, the author of "Dragon Tiger Gate"." "I thought of Zhao Si''s usual things, so I didn''t meet Zhao Si and went home quietly. I immediately reported this to the team leader this morning. This is the situation." When Ma Rongcheng finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu with some anxiety. "Ah, very good!" Xia Yu said with a smile to him, making Ma Rongcheng relieved of some anxiety. After finishing speaking, Xia Yu looked at Zhao Si, a young man with a horse-faced face that was trembling with his head down. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Song Quanping. "Did you find any problems?" "Boss, after Ma Rongcheng reported to me, I immediately took it seriously. On the one hand, I notified the general manager, and on the other hand, I asked people to dismiss Zhao Si and started investigating. I found that many people reported that their files had been touched by others. I didn''t care about it. Only Zhao Si knew how much." "But it should not be possible to leak all of them. Zhao Si is not a member of the screenwriting team. It is impossible to know everything. Moreover, we have also taken certain confidentiality measures to divide the plot and distribute it to all members. Only we know the order. Zhao Si is impossible. Collect all of them." "Boss, this is my fault, I let you down!" At the end, Song Quanpian lowered his head with shame. Xia Yu didn''t speak, but patted him on the shoulder, let him not think about it. Song Quanping took security measures, but after all, there are too many people and it is not a completely closed creation. There must be loopholes. For the caring person, it is definitely not preventable, so the problem is not with him, but with Zhao Si. Looking at Zhao Si''s appearance, he made it clear that there was a ghost in his heart, and knew that there was a problem without asking. Xia Yu stood with his hand in his hand, looked at Zhao Si blankly, and said lightly: "Look up." After hearing Xia Yu''s words, the horse-faced youth Zhao Si kept sweating on his face, but he dared not look up. This made Xia Yu couldn''t help but frown. With this courage and xinxing, he also learned to be a traitor. Huang Yulang couldn''t look at people too much, and he looked down on Xia Yu too much. "Let you raise your head!" Seeing that Xia Yu wanted to speak again, Ma Tengdong patted Zhao Si with eyesight, and said coldly. Zhao Si was taken aback. He immediately raised his head and saw everyone looking at him. He was very uncomfortable and did not dare to collide with the people present. "Do you explain it yourself, or let''s check it?" Xia Yu looked at Zhao Si, with indifferent eyes, and said lightly. This emotional voice made Zhao Si feel scared. He couldn''t help swallowing his saliva and quibble with a dry voice: "Boss, I really didn''t do anything to sell the company. That person is not Huang Yulang, yes. One of my relatives asked me to draw some drawings for him. I did it for him in my free time. I just finished drawing it yesterday and handed it over to him. I definitely did not betray the company, the boss, I was wronged." "Impossible, I swear I will never admit my mistake, that person is Huang Yulang." Hearing Zhao Si''s sophistry, Ma Rongcheng became anxious, and immediately said, his face was a little anxious, for fear that the leaders present would not believe it. "Well, I believe you, don''t worry, meditate!" Xia Yu smiled at Ma Rongcheng and calmed him. Who is Xia Yu, you can see through people''s hearts at a glance, not to mention a young man like Zhao Si who has no city government? Now Zhao Si has made it clear that there is a problem, and sophistry is only the last struggle. Xia Yu smiled, looked at Zhao Si again, with some emotion, and seemed to say to himself: "How do you think the company treats you? He paid high wages and specially asked someone to train you. The company didn''t sorry you, right? " "No, the company treats me very well." Zhao Si replied subconsciously. "It seems you still know that the company treats you well." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head with emotion. Xia Yu''s face turned cold for an instant, staring at him like a knife, and raising the volume in a cold voice: "Then you still betrayed the company? What benefit did Huang Yulang give you? Say!" Zhao Si, who had just been calmed down by Xia Yu''s attitude, did not expect Xia Yu''s attitude to change drastically in an instant, and was shocked. "Boss, I don''t have one, I..." Zhao Si quickly quibbleed, only to see Xia Yu''s sharp gaze, as if he was stripped of his clothes. There was no secret in front of Xia Yu. He was extremely scared in his heart, and he kept sweating on his forehead. "I hate two kinds of people the most. The first is people who eat inside and out, and the second is people who don''t repent!" "Do you think that with my patience, if you want to know something, is it difficult?" "Oh, yes, I remember that there is a law in Xiangjiang specifically for the crime of commercial espionage. The length of the sentence is different according to the value of the stolen trade secrets. Ten or 20 years can be sentenced. Do you think "Dragon Ball" What is the value of it?" Xia Yu looked at him condescendingly, and said lightly, without any emotion in his eyes. The appearance of Xia Yu made Zhao Si extremely scared. He heard that he might go to jail. He finally collapsed. He immediately cried and pleaded: "Boss, I don¡¯t want to go to jail. I said, I said, Huang Yulang is my distant house. Cousin, he asked me to apply for the job at the company. He asked me to tell him the company¡¯s situation and secrets. The company is so good to me. I didn¡¯t want to say it, but he went to me many times and I couldn¡¯t help it... ¡­" The people present were not moved by Zhao Si''s pitiful appearance. Instead, Ma Tengdong and Song Quanping clenched their fists, wishing to beat Zhao Si. Zhao Si turned out to be a traitor, and Huang Yulang''s cousin, was inserted from the beginning, and has not been discovered for so long. If it wasn''t by chance that Ma Rongcheng discovered this time, I still don''t know how long to keep latent, and the damage will only be more. But I think it''s been almost two months now, so long enough, Zhao Si can figure out a lot of things, only hope that not much has been leaked. "What did you tell Huang Yulang? How many things did you give him?" Xia Yu asked again blankly. "I don''t know much, so I showed me the characters of "Dragon Ball" and a small part of the plot outline... Huang Yulang is gone, the others are gone, boss, you give me another chance, I know it was wrong, you put it Pass me, I don¡¯t want to go to jail. I have to make money to support my parents and my younger siblings. You can give me another chance... Zhao Si begged with tears and tears. He knelt down and begged Xia Yu for mercy, seeing Xia Yu frowning. Ma Tengdong knew that Xia Yu was not happy, and Limara stopped Zhao Si and stopped him from continuing to kowtow. "If confession is useful, what is the use of warning?" Xia Yu did not pity Zhao Si, he said lightly. Poor people must be hateful. Xia Yu admits that he has not treated Zhao Si wrongly, but since he has done what I am sorry for, he naturally has to pay the price! Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Zhao Si was completely frightened. He knew that he was going to jail. He was crazy and wanted to get up and run outside, but he was held down by Ma Tengdong with quick eyes and quick hands. "Come on, hold him down!" Ma Tengdong immediately shouted out. The two employees guarding outside immediately ran in and caught Zhao Si. "Boss, give me another chance I really know I was wrong, please..." Zhao Si, who was pressed to the ground, was still struggling and begging. It''s just that everyone present didn''t move, even Ma Rongcheng looked resentful and didn''t feel sad for him. "Tengdong, call the police!" Xia Yu told Ma Tengdong that he didn''t plan to press down on this matter. Although the exposure was not good, Xia Yu didn''t care anymore. The most important thing now is to kill chickens and monkeys. The company does not rule out whether there are any insiders. After all, Zhao Si is from Huang Yulang, so maybe Shangguan Xiaobao also sent someone over. Xia Yu wants to let people with bad intentions realize the fate of being a gangster, and kill a hundred to eliminate worries! As for the possible negative effects, Xia Yu believes that Ma Tengdong and a few others will comfort them. And maybe it can arouse the emotions of employees and make them unify to the outside world. After all, Zhao Si''s internal traitor damages not only the interests of the company, but also the interests of all of them. realized that Xia Yu was really not going to let him go, and Zhao Si was crazy. He scolded hysterically: "You lie to me, you will let me go if you say that I confessed, you slam the street, I am throwing Lei Lao...uhhhh..." Seeing that he was about to scold someone, Ma Rongcheng came over to cover Zhao Si''s mouth, not allowing him to scold. The alarm of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. immediately attracted the attention of the Hong Kong Police Department, and soon sent someone to take Zhao Si away. Watching the police car leave, Xia Yu sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Zhao Si? I think it''s death!" "Topaz? Huh..." Chapter 205: You dont know about power 1 The scene of Zhao Si being taken away by the police was naturally seen by the company''s employees. Many people were unsure of it and felt very sad. Xia Yu didn''t say much, but asked Ma Tengdong to inform the company''s senior management to meet. At the meeting, Xia Yu asked Ma Tengdong to clarify the ins and outs of the incident, and then asked them to inform the people below about the incident to comfort people. Xia Yu didn''t intend to let the people below know that Zhao Si was Huang Yulang''s person, but said that he was the insider of a certain comic company in Xiangjiang. Among them, Xia Yu naturally planned. After the meeting, Xia Yu left Ma Tengdong and Song Anping alone. "Quan Ping, Ma Rongcheng is an individual talent, and he will focus on training in the future. The company will reward him with three months of salary in private, and you can tell him." Xia Yu said to Song Quanping. Song Quanping moved in his heart and immediately responded respectfully. It''s just Song Quanping''s heart that Ma Rongcheng has entered the boss''s eyes this time, and it seems that he will have to spend more time training him in the future. Song Quanping¡¯s expression changed, Xia Yu could see it. He knew that Song Quan usually misunderstood his meaning, thinking that the focus of training was to reward Ma Rongcheng for this time. Actually otherwise, Xia Yu already knows who Ma Rongcheng is. He is the creator of the manga "Fengyun" and "Chinese Hero", and another Hong Kong genius after Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang. It''s just that I didn''t expect Ma Rongcheng to run into his company in this life, and he happened to be discovered by him, so naturally this talent can''t be buried. According to the historical trajectory, he can become a big man in the comics industry, which proves that Ma Rongcheng is indeed very talented. Now as long as he trains well, he will definitely become the mainstay of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Then, Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong again, and ordered: "I also understand the company''s progress. The four comic studios are on the right track. The drafted manuscripts are now enough for the four issues of weekly magazines. You can start. The release of "Zhiyin Manke" is now ready, you should prepare it first, and when I think the time has come, it will start selling." "Understood!" Ma Tengdong said with a sullen expression. After hesitating for a while, Ma Tengdong asked cautiously: "Boss, will this disclosure of secrets have any impact on the release of our comics?" A trace of guilt flashed on Song Quanping''s face beside ¡¡¡¡, he also looked at Xia Yu, waiting for the boss''s opinion. Xia Yu pondered for a while, and said nonchalantly: "You don''t need to worry about this. You just concentrate on the magazine. I will be personally responsible. It''s true that you can touch the tiger''s **** as you want, huh~" Ma Tengdong and Song Quanping looked at each other and said nothing. It seemed that the boss was a little annoyed, but he didn''t show it. But I guess Huang Yulang is in trouble! After Ma Tengdong and Song Quanping left, Xia Yu sat for a while, and then took Yan Shining to a place. ¡­¡­ In the afternoon, Huang Yulang learned the news that his cousin Zhao Si had been arrested. He was shocked and realized that he had been exposed. In the office of Yulang Book Company, Huang Yulang walked up and down irritably, shaking his head and sighing from time to time. "Damn it, there is a problem, what should I do!" Huang Yulang muttered to himself with a headache. In fact, from the beginning, he knew that there would be such a day, but he always had a fluke mentality, hoping that he would not be discovered. He did not expect everything to be unsatisfactory, and the most scared thing actually happened. Huang Yulang also owns a comic newspaper "Sheng Bao" that sells more than 50,000 copies a day. As Xia Yu''s colleague, he doesn''t know Xia Yu''s troubles? Of course he knows that Xia Yu is not easy to mess with! But Huang Yulang''s personality is relatively proud, and he has been the king of the Xiangjiang comics industry for a long time, naturally he has an arrogance, and has long regarded the comics industry as his own territory. He is a person who likes to eat alone, so according to the historical trajectory, he will annex Shangguan Xiaobao¡¯s Shenghuo Publishing House a year later, dominate the comics industry of Xiangjiang, and become the overlord of the comics industry. Later, it was because of his pride and his love to eat alone, that led the capable cadre and his friends to leave him one after another, becoming his opponent one by one. Moreover, because of his character, he has no bottom line in doing things, and he is a little unscrupulous. Later, in order to fight against Sing Tao News Group''s acquisition of his company, he also made false accounts to maintain the company''s high stock price. In the end, he was jailed. anyway. Huang Yulang also did not expect that Xia Yu, a tycoon, would have also taken a fancy to the comics industry. From the beginning, Huang Yulang was highly vigilant, and he immediately followed the actions of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. closely. Of course he knows that in this capitalist society, as long as there is money, many things are not a problem. If Xia Yu is determined to make comics, he will definitely be in trouble. In order to know the wind and grass for the first time, Huang Yulang specially found his cousin who was an apprentice in his company and asked him to join Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. as his internal support. Regarding his cousin, he has never told anyone else in the company that no one in the company knows that Zhao Si is his cousin. This concealment was originally intended to allow Zhao Si to be his eyeliner to observe the company''s every move, and inform him in time when there is a problem, so as to facilitate his control of the company. Finally, I thought about it. The threat from Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is even more important. Huang Yulang changed his original thoughts and let his cousin jump over and become a spy. At the beginning, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. did not release the comics for a long time, but started to engage in training. This made Huang Yulang more vigilant, because it represented that Xia Yu was really moving and was sharpening his knife! Because of the training, no useful news was obtained, so Zhao Si continued to lurch. Until later, Zhao Si was assigned to the "Dragon Ball" comics studio, and began to pass information to Huang Yulang. The more he understands, the more fearful Huang Yulang becomes. Especially as time passed, when Zhao Si was full of praise for the "Dragon Ball" comics, Huang Yulang realized the seriousness of the matter, and he couldn''t wait to die. Regarding "Dragon Ball", even if he only understands part of it, he thinks this comic can be popular and definitely make money. So he thought about it and wanted to follow the trend and create a comic to fight against Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Although Xia Yu''s power is overwhelming, he is already destined to be an opponent. Huang Yulang also has to bite the bullet to fight, unless he is willing to surrender but surrender is impossible, so it is better to fight one. He had planned to launch a similar cartoon two days after the launch of "Dragon Ball". When Xia Yu was annoyed, he couldn''t do anything to him. He could only deal with him using formal commercial methods. Huang Yulang is confident that even if Xia Yu is aggressive, he still has certain strength in the comics industry. After all, his "Dragon Tiger Gate" is now the number one comic in Xiangjiang, and his Yulang Book Company is also number one in Xiangjiang. Comic company. It''s just that the plan is good. I didn''t expect that Zhao Si was discovered when the follow-up work was about to take shape, and he was sent directly to the police. The meaning revealed in it shocked Huang Yulang. But even now, he still doesn''t regret the original decision. After all, in his opinion, it was Xia Yu who took the initiative to make trouble for him. He was forced to deal with it, although it was a shameful means. It''s just that I don''t regret it, I don''t regret it, Huang Yulang is still not stupid, knowing the terrible strength of Xia Yu. So during this period of time, he has been thinking about how to deal with it. Finally, he figured it out clearly. His company was not listed again. Jiuding Securities Co. could not help him. Some newspapers belonged to comics serial newspapers, and Jiuding Newspapers Company also attacked. Not him. The only thing Xia Yu can deal with is his comics, but Xia Yu is originally an opponent and is destined to compete. So after thinking about it this way, Huang Yulang decided to take the initiative and continuously increase his advantage. It''s a pity, these are all Huang Yulang thinks. If Xia Yu knew Huang Yulang thought so, he would definitely tell him pity. too naive! You know nothing about power! Chapter 206: Belly Heiyu is online The police arrested people from Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., which naturally attracted the attention of interested people, especially reporters. After all, everyone knows who Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. belongs to. Of course, it was necessary for the newspaper to report the news, and they speculated about the reasons. Many reporters still squatted at the door of the company, wanting to get the latest news. However, all employees in the company were uniformly informed that a certain comic company in Xiangjiang did it. The company had committed an insider and stole trade secrets. The reporters who got the news were excited and wanted to know the exact company, but they didn''t get the exact news. But even so, this news is considered a hot news, causing a certain range of sensation. Many newspapers have speculated whether it is Shenghuo Publishing House or Yulang Book Company. Fortunately, the hot spot in the past two days was taken down by the news about the upcoming publication of "Xun Qin Ji", which finally fell silent. Only a few gossip tabloids were not reconciled and kept following reports. In the past two days, Huang Yulang has been in a state of anxiety. He couldn''t sleep well, so he was always on guard against Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.''s counterattack. And he also sent someone to the police station to visit Zhao Si, but he didn¡¯t expect to be rejected directly. This situation was very difficult because he didn¡¯t know the specific circumstances of Zhao Si when he was discovered. bottom. There is no way, since it happened, he can only increase his vigilance on the one hand and pay close attention to the movements of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., on the other hand, once again hand over the materials that Zhao Si gave him to his hands to speed up the progress of the new comic. In the afternoon two days after Zhao Si was arrested, Huang Yulang received an invitation letter sent in by the employee. The letter contained only a few words, which was to invite him to describe, give him a time and place, and what to talk about. Did not say. It''s just the two words that signed the money that made his face change a lot, because these two words are a person''s name, that is-Xia Yu. At this moment, Huang Yulang only felt that this thin invitation letter was extremely hot, and he was in a heavy mood and a little overwhelmed. He didn''t want to go at all, but rationally told him that he had to go for this invitation, or it would just hit Xia Yu in the face, and there would be contradictions. If he refused, he just chose to fight to the end. This is a Hongmen banquet! Huang Yulang is under great pressure at the moment! "huhuhu..." Huang Yulang took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, his brain turned frantically, thinking about Xia Yu''s intention to invite him to meet and how he coped. Time passed by minute by minute, Huang Yulang had been sitting on a stool thinking about measures, even if his employees reported something, he would have sent them away. He didn''t want to be disturbed by other things. In the afternoon, it was almost time for the invited meeting, Huang Yulang gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked outside. ¡­¡­ In the box of a teahouse, Xia Yu was drinking tea slowly, while Yan Shining was guarding the outside of the box. looked at his watch and found that there were still three minutes before the agreed time, and Huang Yulang hadn''t arrived yet, Xia Yu shook his head slightly. "I don''t have much strength, I don''t know how to be a man, or he doesn''t understand what I mean by looking for him?" Just when Xia Yu was about to leave, Huang Yulang finally trot in. Seeing Huang Yulang panting, Xia Yu smiled, too fake. "Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, I am late, I''m really sorry!" Huang Yulang said apologetically, and then stretched out his hand to shake Xia Yu. Unexpectedly, Xia Yu was sitting in danger, did not shake hands with him, but said lightly: "Sit!" Seeing Xia Yu''s indifferent attitude, Huang Yulang''s heart sank, and Xia Yu didn''t even act like it. Huang Yulang smiled reluctantly, and sat down. Soon, a waiter came in with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Huang Yulang, then quickly retreated out. "please!" Xia Yu made a gesture. Huang Yulang couldn''t hold her face, said thank you, then took a sip of tea to calm her mood. "Huang Sheng, do you know why I invited you here?" When Huang Yulang put down his teacup, Xia Yu asked lightly, looking at Huang Yulang indifferently. "I don''t know, I also have some doubts. There are many opportunities for Xia¡¯s birthday. I am really flattered to take time out of my busy schedule to invite me to drink tea." Huang Yulang showed a puzzled look, and said flattered. Xia Yu didn''t have time to waste with Huang Yulang. He took the initiative to see Huang Yulang this time and planned to give him one last chance. Whether it was good or bad was Huang Yulang''s attitude. All the dead ends are Huang Yulang. If Huang Yulang doesn''t know anything, then it''s no wonder that Xia Yu is sinister. In fact, to be honest, Xia Yu really hopes that Huang Yulang is ignorant, which is more beneficial to his plan to rule the Xiangjiang comics industry. After all, Xia Yu doesn''t do anything. It''s not that simple when he does it. It will not be limited to Yulang Book Company. The scope will be very wide. Other companies will definitely follow the disaster. Therefore, there must be a person who takes the blame, otherwise it is easy to cause others to criticize that Xia Yu is too domineering. "Huang Sheng, you don''t need to be sloppy with me, you stop your plan now, and apologize again, I don''t bother to be insightful with you." Xia Yu took a sip of tea, spit out a breath of heat, and said lightly. Huang Yulang almost changed his face in surprise, his eyes were uncertain, and he secretly said that he was so secretive, how could he be known by Xia Yu and found it in two days, which is too fast! But how could Huang Yulang admit that, besides, Xia Yu¡¯s attitude is a bit aggressive now, and he is a arrogant person, so he is not happy now. He suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Xia Sheng, I don¡¯t understand what you said. I am part of my business. The plan is to take the company a step further. It is impossible to stop me from doing business." Xia Yu looked at Huang Yulang and found that he hadn''t dodged, as if he hadn''t done anything wrong at all. But Xia Yu hasn''t been waiting for these two days, he has already obtained the iron proof, Huang Yulang still wants to lie to him. Xia Yu glanced at him meaningfully which made Huang Yulang''s heart burst. "Forget it, it''s boring. I have already given you the opportunity, please!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, then raised the teacup to show off the tea. Huang Yulang was shocked, and even let him go like this. What he expected did not happen at all, which caught him off guard. Somehow, he felt that he shouldn''t have come. In fact, what he didn''t know was that from the moment he received Xia Yu''s invitation, his only chance was to admit his mistake to Xia Yu and stop the copycat plan in his hands. Otherwise, even if he does not come, the result will be the same. After the worried Huang Yulang left, Xia Yu took out the document bag in the bag, took out a stack of documents from it, looked at it, and stuffed it back again. "Huang Yulang, Huang Yulang, take the initiative to provoke me. I didn''t put you in my eyes, and I won''t care if you want to compete upright, but if you play yin with me, then you can''t blame me." "This kind of trick of yours is the most popular with little devils. Let me show you what is a clever trick." "Ha ha¡­¡­" chuckled twice, Xia Yu looked expectant, put the document bag back into the bag, and got up and left. went out, just when Xia Yu was about to get in the car, a very ordinary-looking man wearing a peaked cap walked up to Xia Yu and reported to Xia Yuhui: "Boss, the task is complete." "Very good, go back!" Xia Yu nodded and said. After ¡¡¡¡, the car drove in the direction of the company. Chapter 207: Xia Lei After dinner in the evening, Xia Yu took a rest and went out. He asked Xia Lei to do something. At the door of Xia Lei''s house, Xia Yu rang the doorbell. "Ding Dong, Ding Dong!" Soon, Xia Yu heard the footsteps approaching, and then the door opened, revealing Xia Lei''s head. After seeing Xia Yu, Xia Lei grinned and said: "A Yu, you are here, come in quickly." "Are, who is here?" There was the voice of a middle-aged woman who was Xia Lei''s mother. "Mom, it''s A Yu who is here, you make tea." Xia Lei replied with his loud voice, then greeted Xia Yu in, and then closed the door. "Auntie, no need to make tea, I just finished drinking at home." Xia Yu smiled politely. "What you want, you sit down, Ayu, and you''ll be well soon." Xia Lei''s mother said enthusiastically, the movement on her hands did not stop. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, and instead of being polite, he chatted with Xia Lei. Soon, Xia Lei''s mother made the tea, and Xia Yu drank it. Xia Lei''s mother specifically turned down the TV sound, and then talked to Xia Yu: "A Yu, thank you for helping our family..." "Hey, Auntie, A Lei and I are brothers who grew up together since we were young, and we all said you don''t see outsiders..." Seeing Xia Lei''s mother started again, Xia Yu said quickly, feeling a little helpless. This is the reason why he rarely visits Xia Lei and Xia Jun''s family. The two families are grateful to Xia Yu from the bottom of their hearts. Every time they come, they warmly entertain Xia Yu, and they cannot do without being grateful for Xia Yu. , This made Xia Yu very uncomfortable, and he had to spend a lot of words every time. "Mom, you''re here again..." Xia Lei also said helplessly. He also knew that Xia Yu didn''t like this, but his mother was always like this, which made him helpless. But there is no way. After all, it was his mother who had worked hard to pull him up, so he didn''t dare to lose his temper with his mother. He raised objections at most, and most of the time he had to follow his mother''s wishes. After suffering for a while, Xia Lei found an excuse to call Xia Yu upstairs. The two stood on the balcony and looked at the dark night sky. Xia Lei said, "A Yu, is there anything you are looking for me tonight?" "Well, I want you to do something for me." Xia Yu said directly without being polite or embarrassed. "Sell it, it''s absolutely beautiful for you." Xia Lei patted his chest and said confidently. After he recovered from his injury, he returned to the club again. Although he had been away for a while, he soon called back his brothers. When he is idle, he likes to ask Yan Shining for advice. Especially at night, Yan Shining has nothing to do, and he is not far from his home. He always seeks Yan Shining and has learned a lot. His strength is rising rapidly. The prestige in the club is higher. In addition, during this period of time, he has also followed Xia Yu¡¯s strategy and raised many of his subordinates with Xia Yu¡¯s money. Now in the Tiger Club where he belongs, not only his personal strength is ranked first, but also his overall strength. To be in the top three, even his boss is afraid of him. It''s just that his boss knew that Xia Lei had a deep relationship with Xia Yu, and he had blocked a gun for Xia Yu, and had a life-threatening relationship, so even though he was afraid of the growing Xia Lei, he could only win over. It is precisely because of this that Xia Lei can be described as a mixed blessing during this period of time. So far, his brothers have more than one hundred numbers, and he is also a well-known figure on the road of Kowloon, "Thunder Tiger". Taking out the name can scare some people. So even if Xia Yu hasn''t said what to let him do, Xia Lei still thinks he has a certain strength to help Xia Yu. "It''s easy to say, you help me..." Xia Yu smiled and said. "It''s really simple, it''s just A Yu, this is too troublesome, Huang Yulang offended you, I will help you sink him directly, then nothing will be gone." After listening to Xia Yu''s plan, Xia Lei was a little puzzled and blurted out. Hearing Xia Lei''s words, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, and refused: "No need, I''m a serious businessman." "And Arley, it¡¯s not that I said you. When you are free, you have to read more books. If you can¡¯t enter it, you can read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". You have to understand that killing someone is the most direct method, but it is often Not the best method." "When you do anything, the pursuit is the greatest effect, not the least trouble, do you understand?" "Besides, you have to use your brain. Throughout the ages, have you seen how many fierce players who charge on the battlefield have a good end? Those who don''t use their brains are just braves. To be handsome, you must have wisdom." Hearing Xia Yu''s teaching, Xia Lei pondered for a while, then nodded heavily and said, "I listen to you. I must read more." "By the way, Arley, you probably need a few days to get this done?" Xia Yu asked, he needs to arrange a good time to execute. "It''s okay anytime, I just let my people play it." Xia Lei thought for a while and said. "That''s OK, come the day after tomorrow, I''ll let you know when that happens." Xia Yu said with a satisfied smile. Then, Xia Yu chatted with Xia Lei for a while, and then returned home. As soon as I got home, I saw my sister happily talking on the phone, and I didn''t need to think about Xia Yu to know that the opposite was He Chaoqiong. Since the last time my sister and He Chaoqiong met in Ocean Park, the relationship between the two has been very good. Sometimes during holidays, He Chaoqiong would come to Kowloon from Omen to take Xia Xiaomei to play. Of course, I have invited Xia Yu many times, and sometimes Xia Yu will go to www.novelhall.com when he is free. Besides, Xia Xiaomei always talks with He Chaoqiong on the phone, and I don¡¯t know what they talked about. . Xia Yu¡¯s parents also knew about He Chaoqiong. Although Xia Xiaomei and Xia Ming didn¡¯t talk too much, they were still here after all, and they realized something was wrong. They only knew that they were the daughter of the king of gambling. They didn¡¯t dare to talk too much about it. Everything is left to the son. "Sister Chao Qiong, my brother is back, do you want to call him over to answer the phone?" When Xia Xiaomei saw Xia Yu''s return, she immediately spoke into the microphone. "Brother, come here to answer the phone, Sister Chao Qiong is looking for you for something!" Xia Xiaomei waved to Xia Yu and called Xia Yu to come over loudly. Seeing the caring eyes of his parents, Xia Yu smiled bitterly, walked over quickly, and took the call from his sister. "Hey, Chao Qiong, good evening!" Xia Yu said in a happy tone. "Are you coming over on Saturday? Okay, I must be free. Just call me before you come..." After chatting with He Chaoqiong for a while, Xia Yu hung up the phone after exchanging goodnight. "Brother, is Sister Chaoqiong coming to Kowloon again on Saturday? What are you doing?" Xia Xiaomei blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked curiously. "It''s okay. Why do you care about this? It''s so late, and if you don''t go to bed, you have to go to class tomorrow!" Xia Yu flicked his sister''s forehead and said angrily. "Oh, it hurts, brother, you will bounce my head again, you will be stupid..." Xia Xiaomei covered her forehead and walked upstairs honestly, making Xia Ming who was watching TV cover her mouth and laugh. "And you, go to sleep." Xia Yu glared at his younger brother and said. Xia Ming was dumbfounded, let out a weak voice, and followed him upstairs obediently. Chapter 208: Let you see the power of public opinion The next day, the hot news of Xiangjiang was still contracted by the upcoming news of "Xun Qin Ji". Gavin Peter¡¯s plan has already begun. All major distributors have posted posters, and "Jiuding Daily" has also promoted "Xunqin Ji" in the newspaper. Many people who received the news immediately went to major bookstores to order. According to the "Jiuding Daily" explanation, readers are not worried that the bookstore will swallow their money. In addition to the hot spots of "Xun Qin Ji", a few small newspapers reported a seemingly ordinary news. Huang Yulang is the mastermind of the commercial theft of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.? ¡· The article explores the possibility of this matter in a guessing tone, and tries its best to guide in this regard, plus a few photos. It shows that Huang Yulang entered a teahouse and then another photo of leaving, but in In the photo, a car also appeared. That car was not Xia Yu''s car, but a car of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. The article also directly pointed out the ownership of the license plate number, so it is guessed that Huang Yulang met the high-level of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. However, the two are in a competitive relationship. When Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. just got involved in the rape, Huang Yulang actually came to meet, then contacted what happened two days ago, the arrow pointed directly to Huang Yulang. These photos did not show Xia Yu. After all, the photos were taken by someone sent by him, and they were given to these small newspapers anonymously after they were washed out. These newspapers did not arouse widespread discussion due to their small sales. But this was the effect Xia Yu wanted. He did it just to become famous as a teacher, so as not to be bullied and bullied by others later. However, despite the low sales of these newspapers, they are still seen by those who are interested. In the office of Shenghuo Publishing House, Shangguan Xiaobao looked at the newspaper on the desk with a gloating smile on his face. After the internal **** incident of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was exposed two days ago, Shangguan Xiaobao quickly learned about it, and Huang Yulang must have done it in his heart because he did not do such a thing. He is not the kind of very good and strong person, and his purpose is not to seek the best, but to be undefeated, so he is not suitable for pioneering, but for defending. Therefore, although he is very wary of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., he still runs his own publishing house carefully, and prepares soldiers to cover the water and earth. After all, Shangguan Xiaobao has been fighting with Huang Yulang for so many years. He knows what kind of person Huang Yulang is. Only Huang Yulang can do this kind of gangster, and only he is brave, some defiant, and daring. Take the initiative to mess with the tycoon. Now that this news report came out, even though it was a small news, Shangguan Xiaobao had already affirmed that this matter was definitely done by Huang Yulang. Xia Yu was not an easy person. Huang Yulang touched the tiger''s butt, and Shangguan Xiaobao was a little anticipating what would happen next. ... Without letting Shangguan Xiaobao wait too long, an unusual piece of news soon came to light, and it was published by the prevailing "Fengyun Daily". "A group of teenagers gather to fight, just to simulate the scene in the comic "Dragon Tiger Gate", many people have been injured! ¡· The article described in detail the ins and outs of this matter. A group of teenagers are obsessed with the "Dragon Tiger Gate" comics, and are determined to confuse the world. They have imitated since middle school, and then even gave up their studies... After talking about the situation, there are sharp comments at the bottom of the article, denounced that **** and violent comics poisoned young people, and caused serious harm to the physical and mental health and growth of young people, and this situation continued to spread with the influence of **** and violent comics. It is getting worse. Finally, "Fengyun Daily" also hopes to conduct a survey to find out how serious the impact of **** and violent cartoons on young people is, and calls on young people and their parents to actively submit feedback to "Fengyun Daily". By this day, the latest sales volume of Fengyun Daily had reached 580,000 copies, and the number of people covered by it had definitely exceeded 1.5 million. In Hong Kong and Omen alone, the sales volume of Fengyun Daily has reached 190,000 copies, affecting more than 400,000 people. News exposed by such an influential newspaper will naturally cause a sensation immediately. What''s more, looking at the length and content of this news, you can see that Fengyun Daily attaches great importance to it and promotes it entirely as heavy news. The sensation it caused was in line with the status of Fengyun Daily. After many people bought Fengyun Daily early in the morning, they were immediately attracted by this front-page headline. The level of the article is very high, and it has fully aroused the emotions of the readers. After reading it, the readers are deeply moved. Many people are filled with righteous indignation and swear at "Dragon Tiger Gate". Some parents who have abandoned school because of their children have also thought about whether their children have seen such cartoons. If their children happen to read this kind of comics, then I¡¯m sorry. After reading this article, they subconsciously push the problem to **** and violent comics. After all, no matter how bad their children are, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com is their child after all, parents will still find ways to make excuses for their children. In Yulang Book Co., Ltd., Huang Yulang is in a creative room, understanding the work progress. This studio is where he lets people study "Dragon Ball", and according to "Dragon Ball", a manga "Battle of War God" has been published in the copycat. It is about a monkey named Sun Xiaosheng who went to learn martial arts with his teacher and aspires to become the best. The story of the strong **** of war, in the story, there is also the mysterious magic lamp of wish. As long as you collect the nine magic lamps of wish, you can summon the **** of wish, make a wish to the **** of wish, and realize any wish... What a shameless imitation of "Dragon Ball"! Up to now, "The God of War" is about to be created. It can be published in no more than half a month at most. At that time, his Yulang Book Company may have another one after "Dragon Tiger Gate". A powerful comic. Had it not been for some of the information on "Dragon Ball," his mind would have been confined to the idea of ??fighting and killing the chaotic rivers and lakes. Where would he think of drawing such comics? "Quickly! I really look forward to the completion of "The God of War" as soon as possible. By then, my manga dynasty''s throne will be stronger. Even if I confront Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., I am not afraid. I will let you know what it means to be better than blue blue." "As for offending Xia Yu, offend him. Anyway, he is destined to be an opponent." Huang Yulang murmured to himself, even though he was worried, he still cheered himself up and determined that his actions would never be wrong. But for some reason, he always felt a sense of crisis of imminent disaster. "As long as it stays in the dark, does Xia Yu have any other means to use me? There shouldn''t be any..." Facts have proved that Huang Yulang is still too naive because of insufficient knowledge... Chapter 209: Manipulate public opinion again "Boss, it''s not good, something has happened!" Just as Huang Yulang pondered, the door of the creative room was pushed open heavily, and an employee shouted loudly, sweating, with a panic expression. Huang Yulang was taken aback, his face turned black, and angrily rebuked: "What is it like to panic? What is the matter if someone is dead? How big can it be?" "Boss, something really happened, don''t believe me!" The employee was bitterly scolded by Huang Yulang, and his heart was very aggrieved. The moment he saw the news, he ran to the company with enthusiasm for breastfeeding, just to get the boss to get the news earlier. His loyalty actually got a meal. Swearing, it made him feel uncomfortable. But he knew that this matter was too serious and affected the entire company as well as his interests, so he held back his anger and continued. He passed the newspaper in his hand to Huang Yulang. Huang Yulang frowned, took the newspaper and opened it directly. At this look, his face changed drastically, and he immediately opened the newspaper and read it with great energy. "How could this be? How could he do it, how dare he do it? This is definitely revenge! It''s over... it''s over..." The more I watched, Huang Yulang''s face became paler, and dense fine sweat burst out on his forehead. Huang Yulang was completely dumbfounded. This situation was completely beyond his expectation. He did not expect Xia Yu to deal with him like this! At this moment, Huang Yulang felt cold all over! He didn''t expect Xia Yu to resort to such a method. It was too insidious. It was completely manipulating public opinion and pushed him to the cusp of the storm, and there was a cliff below. If this is not dealt with properly, he will definitely fall to death, and it is the kind that can''t die again. "Boss, what should I do?" Seeing the boss''s face pale, he was also panicked, and the employees who reported the letter were also infected. He was panicked, and he asked subconsciously. "What to do...what to do...how do I know what to do? You ask me, who do you ask?" The more he thought about it, the more afraid Huang Yulang seemed to have found a vent, his eyes widened, and he yelled at the employee who asked the question. The other employees outside found out about the situation and couldn¡¯t help but glanced over, but just took a glance and quickly retracted their gazes. The boss Huang Yulang was obviously in a wrong state. They still don¡¯t get into trouble or they get caught. It''s troublesome as a punching bag. Huang Yulang, who had finished scolding the employees, seemed to feel much better. He touched the cold sweat on his forehead, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down. He couldn''t help but looked at the newspaper in his hand again, swallowed, his brain turned frantically, thinking about how to deal with it. He knew that Xia Yu would definitely retaliate against him. After all, if it were him, the company would have been a rape. If he had the ability, he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath without revenge. It''s just that Xia Yu''s methods of revenge were completely beyond his expectation. He never thought that there would be such insidious methods, and it was very deadly. The news reported in the "Fengyun Daily" and the scene of a group of teenagers fighting on it, the first thought in Huang Yulang''s mind is that this is either a fabricated fake news or a deliberate design for revenge. he. Otherwise it can''t be such a coincidence! "Fengyun Daily" belongs to Xia Yu. He just offended Xia Yu. Now, "Fengyun Daily" reports this news with great fanfare. The goal is very obvious. The name of the comic book "Humen" draws firepower to him. The intention is extremely sinister, the method is too vicious! It''s totally punishing him to death! He is also a person in the paper media industry, and he naturally knows that when public opinion takes shape, people who stand on the opposite side of public opinion will hardly end up well unless there is a shocking reversal. But with the influence of "Fengyun Daily", can the general public opinion formed easily be broken? If five or six major newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily," "Ming Pao," "Sing Pao," and "Hong Kong Economic Times" can be brought to his side, it might be possible to fight against the edge of "Feng Yun Daily". But after thinking about another more powerful "Jiuding Daily" under Jiuding Newspaper Company, Huang Yulang felt a deep despair. This is a dead end, there is almost no way to survive! How could Xia Yu come up with such an insidious way? ! It can only be said that Huang Yulang has never seen the world. In future generations, many people have used such a method of deliberately creating public opinion to push people to the opposite of public opinion. Especially when there is a network navy, if this kind of thing does not happen more than a dozen times a year, that is a rare thing! So this time, Xia Yu used this method, it couldn''t be more normal. Moreover, if Huang Yulang thought that this was Xia Yu''s ultimate method, then he would be wrong! Since Xia Yu had done it, he still played an insidious trick that was detrimental to his reputation, without maximizing his profits. He would not stop if Huang Yulang was beaten to death by a stick! Xia Yu wants Huang Yulang to regret playing yin with him, and let him know that he can''t keep up with the yin playing! ... Just when Huang Yulang was at a loss Shangguan Xiaobao also got the news. When he saw the article on Fengyun Daily, he couldn''t help but swallowed his saliva. He didn''t expect that Huang Yulang''s retribution would come so quickly, and it would come so fiercely. It was completely a trend that he would not leave Huang Yulang alive. . "Huang Yulang is **** bad. I don''t know if he can survive it. Anyway, it''s me, I can''t think of any way to deal with it." "It is said that the tiger can''t touch the ass. Huang Yulang sent the other Xia Daheng to how many grades it was. He didn''t know how to provoke him, and even sent a rape. He would dare to dare to do it!" "Competition is dignified. If you lose, you lose. It''s not a big deal. There is no lower limit to doing things by unscrupulous means. Before, I couldn''t do anything with you. This time I acted without scruples and hit the iron plate!" Shangguan Xiaobao muttered to himself, guessing the situation of Huang Yulang''s old opponent at this time, and couldn''t help shaking his head and sighing. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and read the news carefully again, a worrisome arose in his heart, and he said to himself. "I hope it won''t affect me. "Fengyun Daily" is clearly targeting "Dragon Tiger Gate", but other newspapers may not have a bottom line..." Thinking of those third-rate tabloids that have no bottom line, and can even fabricate news in order to pursue hot spots, Shangguan Xiaobao is more and more worried. My family knows his own affairs, **** and violent images, and his "Bruce Lee" comics also have it, but there are not so many "Dragon Tiger Gate" by Huang Yulang. And after the last time the Hong Kong government reorganized, he knew that this matter must be taken seriously, so he made a lot of changes. The degree of the changes is greater than Huang Yulang¡¯s "Dragon Tiger Gate", but there is or there is. This is a fact that cannot be denied. . "Hey, I hope it won''t affect me..." For a long time, Shangguan Xiaobao sighed worriedly. Chapter 210: "Fengyun Daily" sales exploded () My goodness, I always like to have trouble with people, and seem to like to tease people! When you don''t want something to happen, it just happens! What Shangguan Xiaobao worried about really happened! He didn''t overestimate the bottom line of those newspapers. In order to pursue news hotspots, many newspapers do everything they want. They don''t care how much harm they publish to others, they only care about the sales of their newspapers! Others live and die, what to do with them? After the "Fengyun Daily" reported the harm of the **** and violent images of "Dragon Tiger Gate", public opinion exploded. All the newspapers knew that this was the hot news for the next period of time. Those who play pens are clever people, so they can naturally guess the intention of Fengyun Daily. It should be Huang Yulang who offended Xia Yu, so it attracted revenge. But what does it matter to them? Even if they guessed it, they wouldn''t say it, and they didn''t dare to let their own newspaper publish this kind of news, so as not to offend Jiuding Newspaper Company. They have small arms and legs and offend the boss of the industry. They don''t want to be confused! Other major players, such as "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao", also guessed it. Even if they are rivals, they don''t want to make it clear. They are not guilty of offending Xia Yu. More things are better than less things. Some things are clearly the same thing in their hearts, and they are different in nature. There are clever people all over the world, but those who know how to pretend to be confused are truly smart! So on this point, all newspapers have a tacit understanding, even third-rate tabloids with no bottom line, they dare not say it. This is the power that Jiuding Newspaper Company has now! Back to the topic. Some newspapers are not good at discovering the ability to create news on their own, but they are good at following the trend. The **** and violent "Dragon and Tiger Gate"''s impact on the physical and mental health of young people has led them on a path of no return. This news has already been heated and heated. The path has been pointed out, and many people have begun to expand. To be honest, the comics industry has always had a bad reputation. Many people have reported that they will teach children badly, whether it is **** violence or pornography, but it is useless to keep reporting. After MacLehose took office, he paid more attention to people''s livelihood, so he also paid attention to this issue and rectified it once. At that time, new regulations for the comics industry were also introduced. Both "Bruce Lee" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" were forced to suspend publications for rectification, and were not sold again after major changes. However, even so, the **** and violent images are only reduced, still exist, and have passed After such a storm, the Hong Kong government''s supervision has been relaxed again. So the **** violence and pornographic factors in the comics industry are on the rise again! Since "Dragon Tiger Gate" was targeted by "Fengyun Daily", in order to compete for popularity, other newspapers thought of "Bruce Lee" by Shenghuo Publishing House. At this time, "Bruce Lee" also lay down, seeing some newspapers violently attacking, Shangguan Xiaobao jumped anxiously. "The trouble is big, there is no danger! These newspapers are not too big to read the excitement, but they have pitted me!" "I threw away my mother''s Huang Yulang, let you touch the tiger''s **** without problems. It''s miserable now. Even if you are unlucky, you also dragged me into the water. I am wronged!" Seeing a large number of newspapers bought by his men, every newspaper mentioned the "Bruce Lee" comics, Shangguan Xiaobao''s worries and resentment towards Huang Yulang were full. The current situation is very detrimental to Huang Yulang, to him, and even to the entire Xiangjiang comics. If the Hong Kong government interferes again, it will definitely be fatal! Shangguan Xiaobao may have been entangled by crows, the more he worried about what was coming. Seeing that other newspapers started to expand the problem, Xia Yu smiled: "Haha, the problem has been expanded, the time has come!" "Wenhan, do it!" Xia Yu said to Yan Wenhan who was standing behind him. "understand!" Yan Wenhan immediately responded. Thinking of the boss¡¯ plan, Yan Wenhan¡¯s heart was full of respect for Xia Yu¡¯s admiration and compassion for the boss¡¯s opponents. ! However, thinking of the benefits to Fengyun Daily, he looked forward to it. As for other comic companies? What is it to do with him? "Purify the young people''s growth environment, care for the healthy growth of young people! ¡· Adolescents are the future from a small family to a big society. A good growth environment is related to the growth and development of adolescents... "Adolescents indulging in **** and violent pornographic cartoons will cause harm to society! ¡· Looking down on the entire Xiangjiang comics market, pornographic, bloody, and violent comics are popular. In this situation, immature teenagers are easily led astray. When some students encounter problems in their lives, they often follow the violence in the comics. The three concepts of solving and shaping are also extremely wrong. After these young people grow up, they will cause great harm to the entire society... ... "Fengyun Daily" published multiple articles discussing the harm of vulgar cartoons represented by "Dragon Tiger Gate", and also used many examples of letters from parents as argumentation materials to enhance the persuasiveness of the articles. Finally, "Fengyun Daily" also called on everyone to resist vulgar cartoons such as gory violence, pornography, and the Hong Kong government to strengthen supervision and create a healthy growth environment for the healthy growth of young people... At this moment, "Fengyun Daily" has become a pioneer in caring for young people and paying attention to the people''s livelihood, holding high the banner of justice and constantly charging, and a magnificent image appears! In addition to international news, readers of "Fengyun Daily" have one more impression on it, that is, they pay attention to the suffering of the people, dare to speak for the people, dare to expose the darkness of society, and run for the people! After "Fengyun Daily" once again burned public opinion, the harvest was full, and the sales of "Fengyun Daily" also exploded on this day! Many people have recommended Fengyun Daily to their friends to let them pay attention to this incident related to the growth of their children. Because of this, the sales of Fengyun Daily soared by 100,000 copies that day, directly from 580,000 copies to 680,000 copies! This is why newspapers always like to catch breaking news. Not only do they gain a good reputation, they greatly increase their popularity and authority, and they are too terrifying for the sales bonus! And in accordance with the development of this matter, after Fengyun Daily called on the Hong Kong Government to intervene, many people turned their attention to the Hong Kong Government, hoping that the Hong Kong Government could come forward to solve this problem. It is conceivable that in the coming days, as the event progresses further, the heat will only get higher and higher. The sales of "Fengyun Daily", which is already dressed in a responsible and vocal coat, will only get higher and higher! Yan Wenhan was always happy after seeing the sales, and he kept sighing that the boss was wise and martial, but he could think of such a method, not to mention the rectification of opponents, but also can greatly benefit himself. This time, Yan Wenhan witnessed the boss''s ability to manipulate public opinion, and he had to admire him! Chapter 211: Huang Yulang scared to pee Time back to morning. Because it is in his own interests, Huang Yulang pays close attention to the news reports of Fengyun Daily and the latest changes in public opinion, trying to find a way to remove himself and resolve the turbulent waves. To this end, he also let his daily sales of 50,000 points "Sheng Bao" justify "Dragon Tiger Gate", and wrote a long description of the positive changes made by "Dragon Tiger Gate" in order to cater to the Hong Kong government''s policy. Wait. In addition, he also tried his best to call other friends in the same company one by one to let them stand on his side, at least not to criticize "Dragon Tiger Gate" with "Fengyun Daily". It was a pity that he was disappointed, only a few agreed to his request and did not criticize him, but other newspapers were vague and disappointed Huang Yulang. Last night, Huang Yulang was tossed and turned and could not sleep all night, but today, he woke up early and just stayed next to the newsstand. When the latest issue of Fengyun Daily was on sale, Huang Yulang immediately bought a copy. Looked up. It¡¯s just that when I saw that "Fengyun Daily" had more attacks than yesterday, and published many articles in a row, denounced **** violence and the harm of SQ comics, especially when "Dragon Tiger Gate" was used as a negative example. According to the feedback from a parent, their children''s temperament changed drastically because they were addicted to "Dragon Tiger Gate", and they embarked on a case of no return, which gave "Dragon Tiger Gate" a heavy blow. "Damn it! This is to forcibly buckle the black pot of the Xiangjiang Youth Club on my head. This pot will crush me to death! Bastard! I threw my old mother Lei!" He can''t bear this pot! Huang Yulang, whose complexion got worse, yelled, jumping angrily, trembling all over, don''t know if the trembling was anger or fright. Huang Yulang¡¯s strange performance immediately attracted the attention of people passing by. Many people thought it was a neurosis, but some people recognized Huang Yulang, the creator of the comic "Dragon Tiger Gate", and immediately told people around him that many people¡¯s faces were just like Change, give pointers to Huang Yulang. "You who killed a thousand knives were my grandson who dropped out of school and mixed clubs because of your comics, and then was killed. You pay my grandson back! You pay for my grandson!" A grandmother who was carrying a basket of vegetables was going to sell vegetables. Hearing the conversation of the people on the side of the road, she immediately stopped to ask. When she learned that it was Huang Yulang, she remembered the harm of the **** and violent comics that the neighbor and herself said yesterday. After the tragic death of his grandson on the street, grief suddenly came from it. Without thinking about it, she ran towards Huang Yulang with a pole, and cried as she ran. Huang Yulang, who was immersed in panic and anger, saw the pole hitting him, and immediately avoided it in a panic. Seeing people around him pointing at him, his face was fiery, and he was holding the newspaper without thinking about it. Just run. "You kill a thousand knives, don''t run, pay back my grandson''s life..." ... "Kab...Kab..." Hearing only a few camera sounds, a passing reporter directly took the picture. "Hey, luck is really good. I ran into such a big news on my way to work early in the morning. Huang Yulang''s cartoon killed the grandson of the vegetable seller and was chased by the vegetable seller. This news is superb! Fortunately, I took the camera home yesterday, and this time I must ask the editor for a reward..." "By the way, I have to hurry up to interview the grandmother who sells vegetables, to understand the situation clearly, the more exciting the better!" After thinking about it, the reporter ran to the grandma who was selling vegetables, saw her vigilant, showed a gentle smile, and asked softly: "Grandma, I''m a reporter from "...", I heard that Huang Yulang was killed. I want to expose your grandson. Can I interview you?" "Yes, you must expose this one who killed a thousand swords. He is a murderer and killed my good grandson. Let me tell you, my family has been smart and obedient since childhood..." When the vegetable seller saw the reporter coming, she started to babble. The reporter immediately took out the paper and took notes, feeling happy. Huang Yulang, who came to his company, was panting, but he couldn''t take care of it at all. He quickly took out the "Fengyun Daily" and continued to read it, his face whiter as he looked at it. Finally, he saw the appeal of Fengyun Daily, calling on the Hong Kong government to rectify the Xiangjiang comics industry, purify the environment for the growth of young people, eliminate **** violence and SQ comics, and also listed a series of practical measures. "It''s over, Xia Yu, the bastard, is too cruel. He intends to kill me with a stick, **** it, so vicious..." Huang Yulang''s lips trembled in anger, and said cursingly. "Snapped!" Because he was too angry, he directly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it against the wall, but he was still puzzled. In addition to being angry, he is more afraid. He is afraid that the Hong Kong government will once again rectify the Hong Kong comics industry. The last rectification was a problem for the entire industry. Although his "Dragon Tiger Gate" took the brunt, there were no other opponents except the Hong Kong government. He only had to admit it and rectify it honestly. But this time, Xia Yu is watching him, and this time he has directly caused a sensation in public opinion Judging from his years of running newspapers, he will definitely not be hasty. The Hong Kong government is likely to do it again. Hands on. When the time comes, there will be the Hong Kong government before and after Xia Yu, who is constantly falling into trouble, the severity of the crisis facing his "Dragon Tiger Gate" will be much higher than the previous one. Suddenly, he remembered the unforgettable things that happened in the morning. His face turned dark and he seemed to see a reporter nearby. His heart sank to the bottom. If he was really photographed by the reporter, he would definitely be fancied. Reporting out locally, this will definitely be another serious blow to him. After all, it involves the vulnerable group of old people and her dead grandson. If this black pot is placed on his head, he will definitely be spurned by more people! The more I thought about it, the more flustered Huang Yulang became, and he was full of pessimism about the unknown future. At this moment, there was a lot of noise outside the company, and the noise directly reached his office, which made him even more upset. "Snapped!" At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and an employee ran in with a panic expression on his face, and said to Huang Yulang before he could breathe: "Boss, there are many reporters outside, saying they want to interview you, they can''t stop them. There are so many, they are almost rushing into the company, what should I do?" Hearing the employee''s report, Huang Yulang''s face became particularly ugly, like a dead mother, staring at the employees, making them pale. "Don''t let them in, chase them out, call the police if they don''t, and say that someone has attacked a private company and disrupted the normal operation of other people''s companies. Go..." After yelling at the employees and kicking them out, Huang Yulang sat down on a stool limply, and glanced at Fengyun Daily on the table again, with regrets on his face, muttering: "I should have known it a long time ago. To provoke him, I regretted it..." Chapter 212: The Hong Kong government finally stepped in It has caused such a serious public opinion influence, and now the whole of Hong Kong is excited, and the Hong Kong government naturally set its sights on this. In the meeting room of the Hong Kong Government, there are many heads and brains of various departments of the Hong Kong Government. Sitting at the top is the current Governor MacLehose. At this time, a copy of "Fengyun Daily" and several other newspapers were placed on the desks of everyone sitting on the table, as well as public opinion survey statistics. Everyone read it carefully, and for a while, there was no noise in the entire conference room except the sound of flipping through the newspaper. After a long time, seeing that most of the people had finished reading, MacLehose knocked on the table. "Buckle..." Everyone raised their heads to look at MacLehose. "Just now, you have also read the newspapers and documents to understand the general situation. Now there is enthusiasm outside. People''s calls for severely rectifying the Xiangjiang comics industry and severely punishing the instigators behind it are one after another. The Hong Kong government must take measures as soon as possible. Come, what do you think?" After pondering for a moment, McLehose said slowly, and after finishing speaking, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone sitting. The Secretary for Civil Affairs said: "Governor, I have a certain understanding of this incident. This time, the incident was essentially caused by personal grievances. Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. had an internal traitor, which was done by a comic company. It should be Huang Yulang from Yulang Book Company, and Jiuding Newspaper Company, where "Fengyun Daily" is located, also belongs to Xia Yu, so what is happening now is obviously manipulating public opinion and wanting to borrow from the Hong Kong government. He came to rectify the comics industry and clear all obstacles for him." "Indeed, he is the gunman." "Yes..." Several others said consensually. But more people watched indifferently and did not make a statement. Even if they knew what was going on, they couldn''t tell them. The people who wanted to pour dirty water on Xia Yu were all British, and these British people belonged to the British consortium. Xia Yu helped Li Chaoren buy the Qingzhou Yingni Company, and slapped the British consortium. As a result, he was blacklisted by the Hong Kong British Consortium. But in any case, Xia Yu is also a tycoon, and he has a good relationship with many tycoons of the Chinese financial consortium. This is a contradiction between the two camps of Xiangjiang. Of course, these people will not idiotically blend in, and of course they will not express their opinions now. MacLehose''s gaze swept across everyone''s faces, and he stopped in a deep voice, "Well, it goes without saying, whether it is a personal grievance or anything else, it has nothing to do with us. The comics industry is indeed one of a kind. A malignant tumor has been rectified before, but now it has a tendency to make a comeback. "Fengyun Daily" is telling the truth." "Now we have to solve this problem, return a good living environment to the people of Xiangjiang, and provide a healthy growth environment for young people. What do you think?" Among the successive Governors of Hong Kong, McLehose is indeed very outstanding in terms of governing Hong Kong, not to mention the others. During his tenure, he promoted drastic reforms, which brought profound changes to the social outlook of Xiangjiang. His reforms involve housing, integrity, education, medical care, welfare, infrastructure, transportation, economics and society. The ten-year housing plan, the development of new towns, the creation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the nine-year free education, the construction of underground railways and local administration Important policies and constructions such as reforms have been introduced during his tenure. It can be said that he is a governor who sincerely wants to build Xiangjiang and benefit the people of Xiangjiang. He doesn''t want to deal with personal grievances. The struggle between businessmen is going on all the time. He doesn''t have the mind and energy, nor the ability to interfere. In the capitalist world, capital is the root, and he doesn''t want to mess with capitalists. He only needs to distinguish between right and wrong, the others have nothing to do with him! Moreover, from a rational point of view, Huang Yulang first offended Xia Yu, and Xia Yu¡¯s revenge is reasonable. No one can accuse him. Although there is a suspicion of using the Hong Kong government as a gunman, who is really unfavorable to the Hong Kong government¡¯s governance? What? In this regard, MacLehose will not justify himself and the Hong Kong government. If the Hong Kong government is well-administered and there is no problem, Xia Yu will not be able to start using the Hong Kong government as a gunman! Seeing Governor MacLehose set the tone, the Chief Secretary for Civil Affairs did not say much, and chose to remain silent. The Secretary of Justice spoke: "Governor, in order to rectify the comics industry in Hong Kong, he has issued many regulations specially. Now it seems that there are some problems with those regulations. One is that they are not comprehensive enough, and the other is that the implementation and supervision are not in place, so I suggest to do it again. Rectify, and strengthen supervision and management and punishment. We must severely crack down on vulgar cartoons such as **** violence, and give the citizens an explanation so that they can see the determination of our Hong Kong government!" MacLehose nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with the Secretary of Justice''s opinion, but he did not rush to express his position, but looked at other people. "What about you guys?" "Governor, I think..." "The Governor..." Governor MacLehose¡¯s position has already stated that it is to rectify the comics industry. The people sitting can climb to such a high position, naturally they are smart people and naturally have no lack of vision, so they have made suggestions. Soon, a list of practical suggestions was listed and presented to MacLehose. Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, MacLehose nodded in satisfaction, and said to the Secretary of Justice and the Director of Industry and Commerce: "You two will take the lead in rectifying this matter and come up with a set of completely feasible countermeasures." "The Press Service..." "Well, you have all received your respective tasks, act immediately, and announce to the public as soon as possible..." ... After setting up the specific tasks, MacLehose thought for a while, and when he found that there were no omissions, he directly announced the end of the meeting, then got up and left. When MacLehose left, the others looked at each other, then left in twos and threes with emotion. Naturally, the trend of the Hong Kong government was immediately known to Xia Yu. Xia Yu''s energy is now growing, and his network is constantly expanding, so it is easy to know many things. And this time, Xia Yu had already let Yan Wenhan pay attention to the Hong Kong government''s movements to seize the opportunity to expand the authority of Fengyun Daily. However, this time, Xia Yu¡¯s preparation was not necessary at all. Just after the Hong Kong government had just finished the meeting, one of the department¡¯s people left the conference room and tried to tell Xia Yu the news, selling his personal love to Xia Yu, and wanting to make peace. Xia Yu pulls the relationship. Naturally, Xia Yu was very enthusiastic. He accepted the kindness of others, thanked him again, and invited him to have time to eat and drink. The person naturally agreed. After putting down the phone, Xia Yu was still wondering when to let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. launch another fund to serve people from the government, and these people would become his friends. This method is very common in European and American countries. Many politicians are backed by many financial tycoons, especially financial tycoons. The politicians hand over the money to these tycoons for investment, and these politicians act as the umbrella of the rich¡¯s interests and hold their respective positions. That''s it. In Xiangjiang, Xia Yu is a well-known stock **** with first-rate investment ability and vision. These politicians want to make money legally and reasonably. Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is naturally a good choice. He has a close relationship with Xia Yu and treats them. There are so many benefits! Chapter 213: 1 hit hit 1 industry In the next two days, public opinion continued to ferment, and even Xia Lei made his own claim that he wanted to take a good look at Xia Yu and instigate a group of people to go to the door of Yulang Book Company to call for injustice and ask Huang Yulang to get out. In addition, a group of people held small flags and banners at the gate of the Hong Kong government to demonstrate, asking the Hong Kong government to take specific measures to rectify the comic industry in Hong Kong and provide a healthy growth environment for young people. This kind of hot news is of course like a piece of fat meat, attracting a large number of reporters to flock to it, and even the three major stations of Jiayi TV, TVB and Li TV have followed. This addition has added to the fire. Oil keeps public opinion boiling. Of course, because some newspapers saw that Fengyun Daily had gained such a great benefit, they also wanted to follow suit. In order to pursue hot spots, they began to use their brains madly and wanted to continue to expand. Some newspapers even pointed the finger at the film and television industry, denounced the harm of SQ movies, and also wanted to drag the film and television industry into the water, making the employees of the film and television industry shocked. If this drags the film and television industry into the water, they will also suffer from unwarranted disasters. Now public opinion is boiling. Standing on the opposite side of public opinion will definitely not end well. The best way is to quickly resolve this matter, let public opinion calm down, and not continue to expand. For this reason, in order not to let itself suffer losses, the film and television industry secretly put pressure on the Hong Kong government to suggest that the Hong Kong government issue policies as soon as possible to resolve this matter. Under pressure from many quarters, the Hong Kong government took immediate action. First, the Administration for Industry and Commerce suspended publication of the **** and violent comics represented by "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Bruce Lee" on charges of causing adverse effects on society, and ordered Yulang Book Company to stop publication. Companies such as He Shenghuo Publishing House ceased operations for rectification. As soon as this measure was implemented, the "Fengyun Daily" immediately praised the Hong Kong government and put a high hat on the Hong Kong government. This was to ease the relationship with the Hong Kong government. After all, the Hong Kong government was indeed used as a gun. On the other hand, "Fengyun Daily" declared that this was a victory of public opinion, and then Barabala elaborated on a lot of words that contained praise for himself and improved his credibility and authority. Of course, as a pioneer, "Fengyun Daily" has received a lot of gains. Sales are rising steadily. The sales of the latest issue directly reached 780,000 copies, which made Yan Wenhanle bloom and walk a bit. Gone, like being beaten up all day, working very motivated. Xia Yu''s side is beautiful, but the comic industry, which stands on the opposite side of public opinion, is full of sadness. Shangguan Xiaobao looked at the notice in his hand, raised his head and looked at a large group of dazed and panicked employees below. He wanted to cry without tears. He felt aggrieved. The situation was changing too fast. The past few days were calm. The publishing house was operating as usual. The latest sales of Bruce Lee rose by several hundred copies. The company is getting better and better. But I didn''t expect the blow to come so quickly and so quickly. Life was infinitely beautiful the moment before, the next moment there was lightning and thunder, and there was a violent storm. Before it could respond, the company was closed for rectification. The future of "Bruce Lee" comics is facing a suspension of rectification again. It''s not good to be able to reprint. The more I think about it, the less reconciled Shangguan Xiaobao is. Whoever provokes him, people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven. What provokes people is his horrible Huang Yulang, why should he be implicated along with him! It''s just that Shangguan Xiaobao couldn''t hate Xia Yu, or Fengyun Daily. After all, Xia Yu was aiming at Huang Yulang, and his main firepower was also output to Huang Yulang. For example, "Fengyun Daily", at the beginning, it was constantly criticizing "Dragon Tiger Gate". The expansion of the scope was also the first of other newspapers. Although "Fengyun Daily" directly won the banner of purifying the growth environment of young people, it also The name of the "Bruce Lee" comic was not named, but other newspapers kept dragging the "Bruce Lee" comic into the water. Furthermore, Shangguan Xiaobao remembered the news reported by the third-rate tabloids before. Huang Yulang went to meet the senior officials of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., but apparently broke up. Obviously, he gave Huang Yulang a chance, but Huang Yulang did not The sensible promotion annoyed others, which led to the later actions of Fengyun Daily. Therefore, whether it is from a reasonable or common sense, there is no way to blame Fengyun Daily for this matter, but he can only blame Huang Yulang for damaging him! However, thinking of Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao felt a little better, because at this moment, Huang Yulang was definitely more uncomfortable than him, and more embarrassed than him! This is what he has suffered from the disaster, Huang Yulang and "Dragon Tiger Gate", who have been on the cusp of the storm, will only end up worse than him! "Bah, **** Huang Yulang, I wish you died sooner, it''s a scourge, it''s a malignant tumor, I was hurt by you!" Shangguan Xiaobao cursed secretly in his heart. Not only Shangguan Xiaobao, Xiangjiang''s other comic clubs, and even the entire comics industry, are scolding Huang Yulang. The incident caused by one person caused the entire industry to suffer for him. This is completely a broom star! Indeed, as Shangguan Xiaobao thought, Huang Yulang''s situation was worse than he thought! Not only the reputation is completely stinking on the street, people will spit when they are recognized on the road, especially after the story of the vegetable seller was exposed, it caused a sensation, and many people tried to imitate it, which made Topaz Lang didn''t dare to go out at all. The company was also ordered to suspend business for rectification. The "Dragon Tiger Gate" comic was directly suspended for rectification, and it was still listed as a key rectification target by the Industrial and Commercial Administration. I don¡¯t know when it will be released. If Xia Yu moves again, it is entirely possible to make it completely. 404, it depends on whether Xia Yu is in a good mood, do you want to do that? At this time, Yulang Book Company was panicking internally, and some people could not stand the pressure and chose to leave. After all, Yulang Book Company is now known to everyone, but its reputation is notorious and infamous. Everyone knows how many people¡¯s "Dragon Tiger Gate" comics were drawn by Huang Yulang, and Yulang Book Company is Huang Yu. Lang''s company. Some people who originally worked at Yulang Book Company were decent in their work, but in the past few days, after returning home, they were always pointed out that they were working in a conscientious company and helped to draw " "Dragon Tiger Gate" comics are completely accomplices. Not only themselves, but their family members have been ridiculed and scorned by others. This is not something that everyone can bear. Many people who draw cartoons are relatively introverted and have relatively poor psychological endurance. Many people choose directly in angrily. Resign. As a result, Huang Yulang kept receiving reports of employees resigning, which completely collapsed his mentality, who was already close to collapse. Standing in the "War God" comics studio, looking at the piles of drawings, and looking at the long-lasting crowd outside, Huang Yulang closed his eyes in despair. At this moment, he hated Xia Yu, but he regretted that he should not use small means to provoke Xia Yu. If he competed with Xia Yu dignifiedly, he would still have the power to fight, which would not be what he is now. "If God gives me another chance, I will never provoke him..." After a long silence, Huang Yulang''s mouth moved slightly, his expression full of regret and self-blame. It is a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. It is too late to regret now. Doing things that should not be done is destined to bear the corresponding consequences! Chapter 214: Beauties come to find When Yan Wenhan gloated and told Xia Yu about Huang Yulang''s situation, Xia Yu only smiled after hearing it, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. This was completely expected! From the time he directly buckled Huang Yulang and "Dragon Tiger Gate" the **** pot that endangered the growth of young people and the society, the end was doomed! With such a big pot, Huang Yulang''s little arms and legs can''t move at all. If Li Chaoren is a big man, the energy is amazing, and he can still find a way to suppress it, but Huang Yulang has no such ability. What''s more, Xia Yu had a premeditated plan, and he had calculated many times to ensure the success rate. He did not move, and every move was a thunderous blow. A general trend of public opinion was formed in one day, and then continued to add fuel to the fire. In just a few days, Huang Yulang was directly shot to death, and the entire comic industry was hit hard. Huang Yulang is also an ordinary person. Under such a bad situation, what way can he think of to face it in a few days? He could only watch, he was so devastated that he hadn''t thought of a countermeasure, and the knife had already been cut off. Xia Yu has spent his thoughts and calculations, how can ordinary people easily break it? If it is cracked, where does his face rest? Although Huang Yulang''s fate has been set, Xia Yu''s plan has not been completed. This is just foreplay! Xia Yu''s plan is very big, and now the "Fengyun Daily" has made a reputation in the first battle, and has also created a golden body, but this reputation is forged at the cost of the sinking of an industry. As the saying goes, destruction is easy and difficult to build! Since Xia Yu wants to enter the comics industry, how can he be willing to sink the comics industry? Isn''t this harming his interests? Moreover, the name "Fengyun Daily" is really good. It has the charm of "Stay at home and watch the world change". Similarly, it can also be decomposed into another meaning, that is, "A literary sacrifice will turn the clouds and rain". So next, "Fengyun Daily" will let others take a good look at its ability to turn hands into clouds and turn hands into rain! It can make a comic industry completely ruin the streets, and naturally it can save the industry again! But this is not a hurry. Although the popularity of this time has dropped a lot because of the Hong Kong government''s action, there are still great benefits to be gained. Since it is a pioneer who speaks for young people, it is natural to have a beginning and an end, just to squeeze the rest of the heat into its own sales and credibility! Moreover, in order to do it next time, how can it have some time to cushion and pave the way. Just as the "Fengyun Daily" continued to expand its influence, time passed unconsciously, and it was Saturday in a blink of an eye. Early in the morning, after Xia Yu finished Tai Chi, he went out after breakfast. This day is the day when "Xun Qin Ji" goes out again, and also the grand day when Jiuding Book Publishing Company officially debuts. Although the comics industry has caused a stir these days, it is impossible for people to pay attention to this hot spot all the time. Coupled with the more powerful "Jiuding Daily" advertising for "Xun Qin Ji", and the offline promotion of channel dealers throughout Xiangjiang Aomen and Southeast Asia, the news that "Xun Qin Ji" will be released has long been reached. In the ears of the crowd. Early in the morning, there were long queues at the door of many bookstores. Although many people had booked in advance, they would definitely get the book on this day, but their old bookworms didn''t want to wait any longer. I don¡¯t know, and I have to wait patiently, but now that I know that the following content has been written out, the mentality is completely different. I don¡¯t want to wait for a minute, and I want to know immediately what the following plot is written. What is it. What''s more, this last book contains the finale. It is the most essential part of the book. The pits buried in the previous plot will be filled in this book one after another. Many long-standing mysteries are about to be completed. Uncovered one by one, the appeal of this last book is not generally great. Because of this, many people naturally don''t care about getting up early and waiting in line. However, this time "Xun Qin Ji" was published and put on sale. After so many days, all that was needed has been done. Today, we only need to collect statistics from various channels in time, and do a good job of receiving new orders at any time and completing the work of book deployment. Gavin Peter is enough for this kind of thing. There is no need for Xia Yu to be there in person. He has more important things to do. Xia Yu''s car shuttled through the Xiangjiang River and soon came to the nearest pier in the Kowloon area to Omen. "Woo..." The refreshing sea breeze blew towards him, causing Xia Yuqing to close his eyes uncontrollably, and he could not help but look over at the sound of the steamer whistling in his ears. "Hi, Xia Yu, am I here?" On the ship, there was a cheering voice. Xia Yu followed the reputation and saw a girl in a long skirt happily recruiting toward him. The sea breeze blew her hair messy, but there was a natural beauty. That girl is none other than He Chaoqiong. Xia Yu smiled and walked toward the ground where the ship docked. "Xia Yu, I am here, thank you for coming to pick me up!" When the ship docked, He Chaoqiong carried his skirt and ran toward Xia Yu happily. Behind her, two bodyguards followed her not far away. Looking back from the bodyguard, seeing He Chaoqiong who was oncoming, UU reading Xia Yu said with a smile: "You are here in Kowloon, of course I will come to pick you up." He Chaoqiong smiled sweetly when Xia Yu said so, a touch of sweetness rose in his heart. "Xia Yu, it''s been a long time since I saw you, where are we going to play today?" He Chaoqiongzhen tilted his head slightly, blinking his eyes and looking at Xia Yu and asked. "I listen to you. We will go wherever you want to play. I am the host. Today I gave up my life to accompany the beauty." Xia Yu said jokingly. "Hehe, I don''t want your life." Seeing Xia Yu said this, even though he knew that Xia Yu was joking, He Chaoqiong was still happy from the bottom of his heart, pouting and said with disgust, but the smile on her face revealed her true inner thoughts. Over the past two months, Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong have become more and more familiar. Every Saturday and Sunday, He Chaoqiong will come to Kowloon at least one day, either looking for Xia Yu or Xia Yu''s sister. He Chaoqiong''s careful thinking, Xia Yu is of course clear, but for a beautiful woman, how can Xia Yu try to attack her so actively looking for herself. And to be honest, plus the age of the previous life, even though Xia Yu was only sixteen in this life, he was really an old bachelor in terms of psychological age. How could he not want a woman? But after all, Xia Yu is too mature to have the passion for love anymore. So for He Chaoqiong who likes him, Xia Yu is not particularly tempted, so he is not too proactive, but he will not refuse, everything goes with the flow. After all, he just happened to be short of women, and He Chaoqiong happened to appear in front of him again, and he just liked him. What the future holds, Xia Yu is not good, let it be. Who can say clearly about fate? 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone''s reading academy Chapter 215: It was discovered! Run! "Just wait for me here at the pier, and I will come to you when I go back in the afternoon." Talking and laughing with Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong said to the two bodyguards who followed him. The two bodyguards looked at each other, a little embarrassed. "Miss, this..." Xia Yu smiled, looked at them, and said solemnly in an undoubted tone: "You just report the truth. With me, nothing will happen." When the two bodyguards saw Xia Yu saying this, they were silent for a while and nodded. They had been asked by the eldest son He Youjun before they came, and they knew who Xia Yu was. If Xia Yu spoke, they didn''t need to follow. "Ok!" "Miss, we are waiting there." After the bodyguard answered Xia Yu''s words, he pointed to a place and said to He Chaoqiong. "understood!" He Chaoqiong said crisply. Then, Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong got in the car together, and the car drove out of the dock while the two bodyguards looked at each other. Sitting in the back seat with He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu tilted her head and looked at the pure face close at hand. The tip of his nose was lingering around the faint fragrance of He Chaoqiong''s hair. Xia Yu couldn''t help taking a deep breath. Suddenly, Xia Yu saw He Chaoqiong''s cheeks fluttering, he realized that his subconscious action just now made He Chaoqiong notice, and he was suddenly embarrassed. In order to resolve the embarrassment, Xia Yu immediately shifted her attention and asked: "Chao Qiong, do you have a place you want to go?" "Um... I think about it..." He Chaoqiong was really distracted, put his fingers on his mouth, raised his head slightly, blinking his big eyes and thinking. "Yes, let''s go and eat delicious food. I heard that Kowloon does not know where there is a food court. Let''s go there." Suddenly, He Chaoqiong''s eyes lit up and he thought of where to go, said immediately, and looked at Xia Yu expectantly after speaking, hoping that he would agree. Xia Yu smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, let''s go there." He Chaoqiong smiled upon hearing Xia Yu agree to her opinion. "Brother Yan, go to Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui." Xia Yu said to Yan Shining who was driving. "Okay, boss!" Tsim Sha Tsui is a part of the Yau Tsim Mong District of Kowloon. It is located at the southern end of the Kowloon Peninsula, bounded by Austin Road to Hong Chong Road in the north, and facing Central and Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island across Victoria Harbour. From a geographical point of view, Tsim Sha Tsui is a promontory at the southern end of the Kowloon Peninsula, adjacent to Hung Hom Bay. Many of the land owned by Qingzhou Yingni Company were in Hung Hom''s generation. Having said that, Xiangjiang is the intersection of China and the West, so there are various food cultures, Chinese food, Western food, Japanese food, Thai food, and various flavors of Southeast Asian countries. Tourism in the future generations is also developed. In addition to shopping and attractive, gourmet It is also a very eye-catching business card. In Tsim Sha Tsui, there are also many delicacies. Tsim Sha Tsui is even known as a trendy food hub, whether it is a thoroughfare road such as Nathan Road, Canton Road, and Chatham Road, or a side street such as Ashley Road and Granville Road. There are countless alleys and specialty restaurants, which are very suitable for killing time. Just as He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu were chatting together, the car quickly drove to Nathan Road. "Boss, here it is!" Yan Shining reminded, and then slowed down, waiting for Xia Yu''s decision. Xia Yu stopped chatting, turned his head and looked out the window, and said to Yan Shining, "Just find a place to park, and then we will walk down." "Come on, be careful, don''t bump your head!" After getting off the car, Xia Yu said to He Chaoqiong who wanted to get off. Seeing Xia Yu caring about her, He Chaoqiong smiled sweetly, lowered his head and got out of the car. "Wow, so many snack bars." After getting off the bus, He Chaoqiong looked around curiously and found restaurant signs everywhere, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise. When he was in Omen, as long as he was outside, he would usually go with his family, and only go in and out of high-end hotels. She rarely went out alone, so this kind of grounded snack bar was rare. "Let''s go, let''s go shopping, just say what you want to eat." Seeing He Chaoqiong''s surprised look, Xia Yu smiled slightly and said softly. "Yes!" He Chaoqiong lighted his head, and then walked with Xia Yu... Along the way, stop and go, stop and buy something you want to eat. He Chaoqiong has not gone far enough. "It''s so full, I can''t eat anymore, but there are so many shops..." I found a bench and sat down, He Chaoqiong rubbed her belly, showing her eyebrows slightly clumped, and said in annoyance. Looking at the snack bar that was still inexhaustible at a glance, He Chaoqiong pursed his lips, eager to try them all, but his stomach was filled. "I told you not to eat so much. Otherwise, you won''t be able to eat the noodles. Look." Seeing He Chaoqiong''s tangled and distressed look, Xia Yu couldn''t help but say happily. He Chaoqiong blushed slightly, and quickly explained: "It''s so delicious, I ate too much accidentally. How can I blame it? If you want to blame it, it''s you for finding this place." "Well, it''s all my fault." Xia Yu said dumbfoundedly. "It doesn''t matter, if you want to eat all over the street, I will bring you here next time." "Well, I''ve said that, next time I come here, I must eat them all." With a firm look on He Chaoqiong''s face, he made a decision. After resting for a while, He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu stood up and continued shopping. Unconsciously walked to a corner. Seeing a place across the street full of people, He Chaoqiong couldn''t help being curious, and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, there are a lot of people there, let''s go and see if we can?" "Let''s go!" Accompanied He Chaoqiong to the outside of the crowd, saw the photo above, and glanced at the things in the hands of the people who walked out of the shop happily. Xia Yu knew that it was a bookstore and a group of readers gathered around to buy "Qin Qin". "It turned out to be a bookstore. Is the bookstore surrounded by so many people? This is the first time I saw it!" After seeing the signboard, He Chaoqiong muttered to herself in surprise. At this moment, she became even more curious. What kind of book is it that brings so many people together in the bookstore? "Adong, you still have money and you bought a hardcover collector''s edition directly. There is also Xia Yu''s autographed poster. I envy you." At this moment, two people who bought the book walked out of the crowd talking. "Hey, you don¡¯t want to spend the money if you buy the hardcover edition. A hardcover edition is only forty Hong Kong dollars. You bought three copies and you spent 13 Hong Kong dollars, which is triple that. Save food and drink. I will have this money for a while." The young man named Adong said grinningly. "I don''t look like yours, so rich." The other said with a curled mouth. He Chaoqiong heard all the conversation between the two of them, and she immediately understood that it turned out that it was selling "Xun Qin Ji". However, isn''t "Xun Qin Ji" a book by Xia Yu? "Xia Yu, is your book on sale again today?" He Chaoqiong looked at Xia Yu suspiciously and asked in a low voice. "Well, it''s today." Xia Yu nodded and said. "Then I want to buy a set too, and you need to sign for me." He Chaoqiong rolled his eyes and said immediately, looking at him expectantly. Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded and said, "If you want a book, there is no need to line up. I will give it to you when I go back." "I don''t want you to give it away, I want to buy it myself, as long as I buy your book, then I will be your loyal reader." He Chaoqiong refused to say, and also gave a reason. Xia Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, stop arguing, just let her, as long as she is happy. Then, He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu lined up together, watching the group of turtles move forward quickly, but He Chaoqiong was not impatient, but listened with relish to others talking about "Xun Qin Ji" and Xia Yu, with a smile on his face unconsciously. At this moment, Xia Yu had a peculiar feeling. The first time he was queuing to buy something, he was buying books, and it was his own books. This kind of experience was really unusual. Soon, it was He Chaoqiong''s turn in front of Xia Yu. He Chaoqiong said to the boss: "Boss, give me the accurate version of "Xun Qin Ji"." "Okay, you put it away." "Thank you!" He Chaoqiong said politely after receiving the book. Then, she smiled happily, holding a book and happily said to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, I bought it, you have to sign for me!" He Chaoqiong said very quickly, when Xia Yu wanted to stop her, it was too late. Sure enough, as soon as He Chaoqiong''s words came out the surroundings immediately calmed down, everyone looked at Xia Yu, especially the bookstore owner, blinked and confirmed that the boy in front of him was really Xia Yu, and immediately revealed Ecstasy, just wanted to talk. "not good!" Xia Yu secretly made a bad cry, and before everyone could react, Limala took He Chaoqiong''s hand and ran outside. "Chao Qiong, run!" He Chaoqiong was still in the clouds and mist, so she was dragged away by Xia Yu, but when she heard the cheers from around, she immediately realized that she made a mistake and shouldn¡¯t call Xia Yu¡¯s name in this place. So loud. "It''s really Xia Yu, Xia Yu, sign me!" "Ah! Xia Yu actually came to the bookstore to buy books!" "Don''t run, Xia Yu, I am your loyal reader, sign me!" "Hurry up!" ... A group of readers surrounded outside first saw a man and a woman running outside holding hands, still confused, and then heard the exclamation from inside, and suddenly reacted, it turned out to be Xia Yu, the author of "Xun Qin Ji" Here, it should be the man who ran out just now. Thinking of this, a group of people suddenly became annoyed. Their favorite author appeared in front of them. They didn''t even recognize it. They had to remind the people inside to know that if they knew it, how could they let Xia Yu run away? Fortunately, Xia Yu hasn''t run far yet! Seeing Xia Yu who was pulling a beautiful girl away not far away, many people immediately followed him, and more people followed. Suddenly, there was a peculiar scene in Nathan Road, a man and a woman holding hands and running wildly in front, followed by a large group of people chasing wildly, chasing and shouting excitedly. This peculiar scene caused pedestrians on the road to stop and talk, thinking it was a movie. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone''s reading academy Chapter 216: Will you own a TV station? When Xia Yu pulled He Chaoqiong to escape, he ran and motioned Yan Shining to drive. Because of pulling the girl He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu had to slow down. Just as the people chasing behind were getting closer, Yan Shining had already drove the car to the front, and he quickly opened the door and got in. Yan Shining slammed on the gas pedal and the car quickly drove away from the scene, leaving behind a group of people panting but sighing. They have to regret it, because although "Xun Qin Ji" is popular in Hong Kong and two volumes have already been published, Xia Yu has never signed and sold it and rarely appeared in front of the public. Because of this, no one has signed Xia Yu''s autograph so far. Now he finally met Xia Yu in the bookstore. He didn''t have any disguise, and he didn''t recognize him. They watched Xia Yu run away. How can they not regret it? Moreover, in addition to being the author of "Xun Qin Ji", Xia Yu''s other two identities are even more amazing. One is a stock **** who is famous for Xiangjiang, and the other is a tycoon. Both of these identities are far away from ordinary people. Difficult to get a relationship with Xia Yu. But as readers of Xia Yu, their relationship with Xia Yu is close. With this level of relationship, they are more emboldened to be close to Xia Yu. Many people who are chasing have this kind of psychological thoughts and want to get involved. With Xia Yu''s wealth, it is a pity that he did not seize the opportunity and left regrets! Let¡¯s talk about Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong after getting in the car. Because they ran for a while, they were out of breath at this time, especially He Chaoqiong, the beautiful little face was red, so cute! She realized at this time that the back of her hand Xia Yu was tightly grasped, and never let go. Through Xia Yu''s palm, a warm feeling was transmitted to her skin, making her a little hot. With a flush on his face, he lowered his head silently, looking at the set of "Xun Qin Ji" in his arms. He Chaoqiong didn''t break her hand from Xia Yu''s hand. She glanced at Xia Yu secretly and found that Xia Yujun was smiling, not panting, and just turned her head to look at her. Peeking, it was discovered that He Chaoqiong was like a frightened deer. He lowered his head subconsciously, looking at the hand held by Xia Yu. Xia Yu looked around reflexively, and suddenly realized that his hand was still holding He Chaoqiong''s hand. Even when he got on the car, he forgot to release it, so he still held it now. At this moment, Xia Yu was embarrassed and quickly let go of He Chaoqiong''s hand, and explained: "This, Chaoqiong, I''m sorry, it happened suddenly, please forgive me." "It doesn''t matter, I don''t mind." He Chaoqiong blushed and whispered. "What did you say?" Xia Yu didn''t hear clearly, and asked suspiciously. "It''s nothing." Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t hear clearly, He Chaoqiong breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of loss spontaneously. He calmed down a lot and said with a smile. "By the way, Xia Yu, quickly help me sign it." He didn''t want Xia Yu to delve into it. He Chaoqiong looked at the book in his arms, immediately held up both hands, and looked at Xia Yu expectantly. Xia Yu smiled slightly, took it, and removed the plastic film packaging on the outside, then took out a pen from the bag in the car, turned over the first page of the first book, and started writing in the blank space on the lower half of the page. . After writing for a while, Xia Yu stopped writing, read it again, smiled and returned the book to He Chaoqiong, and said: "After signing, you have a look." "Ok!" He Chaoqiong, who was looking forward to it, nodded, and immediately took it and looked at it. "I wish the beautiful and lovely Miss Chao Qiong become more and more beautiful and happy every day!-Good friend Xia Yu, May 15, 1978." Although it was just a short ordinary sentence, He Chaoqiong felt happy after reading it, showing a happy smile, and said sweetly: "Xia Yu, thank you!" "You like it!" Xia Yu said with a smile. He Chaoqiong tapped Zhenshou lightly and liked it as he watched it. After a long time, he reluctantly closed the book and chatted with Xia Yu. The car was shuttled randomly in the Kowloon area. After waiting for a long time, Yan Shining reminded: "Boss, where are you going?" Xia Yu came back to his senses and asked, "Where have you been?" "It''s already on the radio channel." Yan Shining replied without looking back. With a heart move, Xia Yu looked out the window and halfway up the mountain in the distance. He suddenly found the landmark buildings. "Chao Qiong, let''s go to the mountain and have a look!" Xia Yu asked He Chaoqiong. "Yeen, listen to you." He Chaoqiong said very docilely, it seems that after an accident just now, her mentality has changed a lot. Xia Yu obviously felt this point keenly, but he did not say it, but let Yan Shining drive up the mountain. Soon, the car reached halfway up the mountain, and Xia Yu asked Yan Shining to stop and took He Chaoqiong out of the car. "Xia Yu, is there anything special here?" He Chaoqiong asked curiously, blinking at Xia Yu with big watery eyes. "It''s really something special here. The three TV stations and two radio stations of Xiangjiang are concentrated in this small area. Therefore, the hillside on which we stand is also called''Mount Wutai'' by Xiangjiang people." Xia Yu smiled and introduced. "Look, that is the TVB, that is, the TV tower of TVB. The TV signals that people can see are emitted by this TV tower." With that, Xia Yu pointed to an iron tower not far away and said. "Oh, it turns out that the TV tower looks like this, the first time I saw it!" Following the direction of Xia Yu''s finger, He Chaoqiong looked over, and after reading it, suddenly said. Xia Yu smiled, looked around and looked around, and soon found four other landmark buildings. "By the way, Xia Yu, my dad and my brother said that you are a media tycoon, but the best way to stabilize your business is to own a TV station. Will you have a TV station in the future?" Suddenly, He Chaoqiong remembered what his father and brother said when chatting, she turned her head to look at Xia Yu, questioning. Xia Yu looked at He Chaoqiong, and then looked into the distance, his smile narrowed, his eyes became deep and far away, and a breath of independence was exuded throughout his body, which made He Chaoqiong''s eyes bright and colorful. Xia Yu listened to what He Chaoqiong said. Since both He Hongshen and He Youguang can see how could he not know? Although he has always been called a media tycoon, and his newspapers and magazines are indeed great, in his heart, he does not take this title into heart because he lacks the most core thing, that is, the television station. A media tycoon without a TV station is not a real media tycoon! How can the influence of newspapers be compared with TV stations? A newspaper covering more than one million people is awesome, but how much time can it take to read a newspaper? But how much time does a person spend watching TV a day? That is dozens or hundreds of times longer than reading a newspaper! TV stations can broadcast news 24 hours a day, and that influence is by no means comparable to newspapers and magazines! Therefore, Xia Yu certainly wants to own a TV station and has already started collecting information. He already has a plan, but the time has not yet arrived. Xia Yu retracted his mind, looked at He Chaoqiong with a light smile, and said, "Yes, you will see it soon." "Really? That''s great, so your foundation will be stabilized." He Chaoqiong said happily, happy for Xia Yu from the heart. Seeing the happy He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu smiled, thinking of something, and said to He Chaoqiong: "However, you have to keep it secret for me. Don''t tell others until I own the TV station." "En, Xia Yu, don''t worry, I won''t even tell my daddy and brother. This is the secret between the two of us. I will help you keep it secret." He Chaoqiong nodded his head earnestly and promised that if He Hongshen heard this, he would definitely pat his thigh and shout that the female congress would not stay. Seeing He Chaoqiong''s seriousness, Xia Yu smiled openly, and He Chaoqiong couldn''t help but laugh. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone''s reading academy Chapter 217: When the queen is young After strolling around "Mount Wutai" for a while, seeing that it was noon, Xia Yu took He Chaoqiong to lunch. Although he had eaten a lot in the morning, He Chaoqiong was not very hungry, but if he did not eat at noon, he would definitely be hungry in the afternoon. Therefore, he still had to eat some lunch. After eating in a restaurant and resting for a while, He Chaoqiong couldn''t sit still anymore. He blinked and looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Xia Yu, where are we going to play this afternoon?" Xia Yu thought for a while and asked: "Should we go to Liyuan?" "Okay, I went there twice when I was a kid, but it was fun, but the most recent one was five or six years ago. I don''t know what it looks like now." He Chaoqiong said happily, her eyes were a little blurred, her thoughts seemed to have returned to the carefree age five or six years ago, and the corners of her mouth unknowingly evoked a moving arc. "It''s too early, then let''s go!" Checking the time, Xia Yu stood up and said. "um hum!" He Chaoqiong nodded obediently, and then followed Xia Yu out and got on the bus to Liyuan. Liyuan, if you just look at the name, many people think it is an orchard that grows lychees, but if you really think so, you will definitely be dumbfounded when you go there, because what you think and what you look at will be completely different! Lai Yuen is actually an amusement park. Before the opening of the Hong Kong Ocean Park, it was the largest amusement park in Hong Kong. It is located in Lai Xin Court in Kwai Tsing District, Kwai Tsing District, west of the New Territories. After the end of World War II, Hong Kong experienced three years and eight months of Japanese occupation, and society gradually recovered. In order to meet the needs of the public looking for recreation, in addition to the continuous completion of large and small theaters, playgrounds have also emerged. In 1949, businessman Zhang Junan established Liyuan, which was bought by Qiu Degen in 1961 and continued to expand, and it has always been one of Qiu Degen''s pocketbooks. Liyuan Amusement Park, which contains toys such as Ferris wheel, bumper cars, horse riding, etc., as well as movie theaters, Cantonese theater and music scene, zoo, etc., is very attractive to adults and children. It''s a pity that in 1976, its title of "the largest amusement park in Hong Kong" was taken away by the Xiangjiang Ocean Park, which led to a decline in the past two years. Liyuan is one of Qiu Degen''s pocketbooks. Of course, Qiu Degen is not willing to reduce his income. In order to cope with the competition from the Ocean Park, which opened in 1976, Qiu Degen had to start an expansion plan again, intending to build a Song City based on the pictorial design of "A River on the Qingming Festival", which is still under construction. When Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong were talking and laughing, the car came to the parking lot of Liyuan Amusement Park. After getting off the bus, Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong and Yan Shining walked towards the ticket office. "Xia Yu, there are so many people here, so lively!" As soon as I entered it, I saw people everywhere, many adults and children were playing together, He Chaoqiong said in surprise. "Today, Saturday, it''s just a holiday. Of course there are many people. Let''s go, let''s start shopping here." Xia Yu said with a smile, and then walked towards the right with He Chaoqiong. Stop and go, play with this, take a look at that, time passes unconsciously. Unconsciously, Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong came to a Cantonese theater and singing and dancing area. He Chaoqiong became interested when he heard the applause and cheers coming from inside. "Xia Yu, let''s take a look inside." "Let''s go!" After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the Cantonese Opera with He Chaoqiong. As soon as I entered the Cantonese Theater and the song and dance area, I found an introduction card that marked how many theaters there were, which song and dance troupe or troupe performed, and a list of the programs performed today. "Xia Yu, there is still a place ahead, let''s sit there." On tiptoe, He Chaoqiong saw the signature and the position, and said with some surprise, and then walked over there with Xia Yu. As soon as I sat down, ordered tea and snacks, the performance was over. "Next, please invite the''Jinxia'' Song and Dance Ensemble to bring you the song and dance performance "Beautiful Flower". Applause please!" "Fuck!" He Chaoqiong clapped his hands expectantly, and looked behind the scenes. He Chaoqiong was not allowed to wait any more. After the host stepped down, a few dancers in dance costumes trot out with brisk and graceful steps behind the scenes. Two adult women, with a few girls who are obviously not big in their grades, started the performance together with the pace of the music. One girl also sang with a microphone, and the rest danced to the singing. Everyone in the audience admired it with relish, and Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong also saw it with gusto. "Xia Yu, their dance is so beautiful, so beautiful, and that person sings really well." He Chaoqiong''s eyes were a little blurred, and he murmured. "It''s really good to dance, and the singing is pure and tactful." Xia Yu smiled and shouted, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone on the stage, and he paused for a while on the face of the singing girl, but he felt familiar, but he didn''t remember who it was. But he didn¡¯t care. When he traveled to Xiangjiang, he saw familiar people. He had adapted to it a long time ago. He wouldn¡¯t make a fuss. There is no need to specifically recognize who is here and then set up relationships. When the performance reached the highlight, the audience remembered the warm applause, which was also mixed with the sound of some people blowing whistle and shouting. "Mei Aifang, I like you!" "Mei Aifang..." "Mei Yanfang..." ... These shouts were also heard into Xia Yu''s ears. This familiar name made him unable to help his gaze. He immediately looked at the faces of the performers on the stage and scanned them one by one. In the end, Xia Yu''s gaze stayed on the face of the youngest girl with the microphone, the girl he felt familiar with just now. "No wonder, it turned out to be her. I don¡¯t know where to watch it in her previous life. It seems that Mei Yanfang really followed her mother on stage when she was a child. I didn¡¯t expect to meet her here. Judging from her age, she should be only 15 or 16 years old. Right." "I didn''t expect that the queen of the world famous Xiangjiang would look like this when he was young. It''s kind of interesting." Xia Yu showed a trace of interest, looked at Mei Yanfang with a green face, and said inwardly. Because of curiosity, Xia Yu also looked up and down Mei Yanfang specially. It was just that He Chaoqiong saw all this in her eyes. She found that Xia Yu hadn''t spoken for a while, couldn''t help but look at Xia Yu, and then followed Xia Yu''s eyes to see Mei Yanfang who was singing. For a moment, He Chaoqiong felt a sense of urgency again, remembering that the last time was at the entrance of Xiangjiang Ocean Park, because of a girl selling tickets. "But she is not pretty either!" He Chaoqiong compared Mei Yanfang with herself, and thought to herself that not only was she not as beautiful as herself, but the one I saw last time at Xiangjiang Ocean Park was also more beautiful than her. However, seeing Xia Yu look at Mei Yanfang with admiration, He Chaoqiong felt sour, and his good mood was gone. It''s a pity that Xia Yu is no one of her, and she can''t control Xia Yu so she can only lower her head and secretly sad. Xia Yu who came back to his senses found He Chaoqiong''s loss. He asked suspiciously: "Chaoqiong, what''s wrong with you?" Hearing Xia Yu''s question, He Chaoqiong immediately smiled, not wanting Xia Yu to see that she was wrong, and said, "Nothing, I''m fine!" It''s just that she is a sixteen-year-old girl after all, not good at hiding herself, and her smile is somewhat reluctant. Xia Yu thought quickly, and then discovered the problem. He realized that He Chaoqiong was a little jealous when he saw another girl. It was just that He Chaoqiong was obviously jealous, but wanted to keep him from knowing. Xia Yu smiled, stood up and said, "Let''s go, don''t look, let''s go to play elsewhere." He Chaoqiong''s body was shocked, she looked at Xia Yu suddenly, and saw him looking at herself with a smile, He Chaoqiong''s heart was sweet, the previous loss was wiped out, she felt Xia Yu''s attention to her, and she was delighted He lit his head and said, "Yeah!" "Let''s go!" ... "Woohoo..." "Xia Yu, goodbye!" After putting He Chaoqiong on the ship, Xia Yu stood by the dock, listening to the steam whistle of the ship, watching the ship start, He Chaoqiong who had already boarded the ship waved to Xia Yu reluctantly. "Goodbye, pay attention to safety! Call me when you go home!" Xia Yu smiled and waved. "Yes, I will, I am very happy today, thank you for playing with me!" "Come back next time!" ... Seeing the ship drifting away, Xia Yu retracted his gaze and looked at his watch. He found that it was past the off-duty time. He gave up his plan to go to Jiuding Book Company and should go early the next morning. ) Book friends hurry up and pay attention! Chapter 218: Over 13 million Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to Jiuding Book Publishing Company. "Boss, you are here!" Walking into a busy company, Xia Yu saw Gavin Peter, who was obviously in a good mood and couldn''t suppress his smile. After Gavin Peter saw Xia Yu''s arrival, he immediately trot over and greeted respectfully. "Well, how is the situation?" Xia Yu nodded and asked straight to the subject. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s question, Gavin Peter¡¯s smile appeared again, and he said with some excitement: "Boss, the sales situation is very good, and it has exceeded expectations. Please follow me and I will give you the detailed real-time data. Look." "go!" Xia Yu''s words were concise and concise, directly letting Gavin Peter act. Then, Gavin Peter took Xia Yu into the office, then picked up a record sheet and handed it to Xia Yu. His tone was full of enthusiasm and excitement and said: "Boss, please see. This is the data record of yesterday. Important data for the company." Xia Yu sat down and looked at it with a glimmer of anticipation. He wanted to see what kind of grades it was that made Gavin Peter so uneasy, and he walked a little. At this glance, Xia Yu raised his brows and couldn''t help but smile. The more he looked at his face, the more he smiled, and finally he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "It''s really good!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, although it was not a compliment to him, Gavin Peter still enjoyed it very much, smiling cheerfully, and the smile from his heart could not be concealed. This result is indeed worthy of joy! Gavin Peter was pleasantly surprised by the sales statistics of "Looking for the Qin" yesterday. Even though he has worked in the Xiangjiang branch of Penguin Group for so many years, he has never encountered such a hot sales situation. The seven-day pre-sale results were: 343,000 copies of the third volume of the general edition, 325,000 copies of the fourth volume, 557,000 copies of the fifth volume, and 8,124 sets of the hardcover collector''s edition. So before the new book went on sale, it had achieved a total of 1.165 million copies. Because of this kind of hot pre-sale results, the confidence of the major channel booksellers has been continuously strengthened, and they are constantly adding new orders to grab the goods, and they are worried that there will be no books to sell at that time. Although Gavin Peter has repeatedly emphasized that the third and fourth volumes each have a stock of one million copies, the fifth volume has also printed 1.5 million copies, and the printing efficiency of the company¡¯s printing plant can reach 200,000 copies a day If the production capacity is not enough, the printing factory of the brother company will help, and there will never be no books to sell. However, the major booksellers did not believe Gavin Peter¡¯s words. Since the pre-sale of "Xun Qin Ji" has already shown that it will definitely make money, and the sales of the first and second volumes of "Xun Qin Ji" have exceeded 1.85 million copies, Then the sales data of the next few volumes will definitely not be less than 1.5 million copies, and the fifth volume that has not yet been released will be the hottest, 1.5 million copies are not insured! Moreover, the pre-sales have each exceeded one-third of the inventory, and there are only more people who have not ordered books. All major booksellers are veterans, and they can calculate a rough idea about the popularity and sales of a book, so I will never worry that "Xun Qin Ji" will not be sold. It is precisely with this consideration that major booksellers have placed large orders one after another, and all the inventory has been pulled away. One million copies of the third and fourth volumes, and 1.5 million copies of the fifth volume were all taken away. Jiuding Book Publishing Company does not intend to keep one in stock, so that Gavin Peter cannot Don''t ask Ma Tengdong for help, let the printing factory of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. help with printing. The 10,000 sets of the hardcover collection of "Xun Qin Ji" were not enough for the major booksellers. In the end, there was no way. Gavin Peter intervened in the distribution. Two hundred sets were intercepted for emergencies. The remaining 9,800 sets They were all taken away by the bookseller. In addition, the inventory of "Xun Qin Ji" in the first and second volumes has also been taken away by about 150,000 copies. This is because every time the second half of a book is released, it will always drive the sales of previously published books. Naturally, such a popular book as "Xun Qin Ji" does not happen. Therefore, the savvy bookseller immediately collected a batch of the first and second books to prevent the embarrassing situation of no books to sell. Naturally, it is impossible for the books to be sold out in one day, but because the initiative is on Xia Yu''s side, it is required to pay for the order first, and then pull the goods, so all the money has been transferred to the account of Jiuding Book Publishing Company. The retail price of the first to fourth volumes is four Hong Kong dollars, and the ex-factory price is agreed to be three Hong Kong dollars. The total number of orders for the four books totaled 2.31 million, and a payment of 6.93 million Hong Kong dollars was received. The retail price of the fifth book was five Hong Kong dollars and the ex-factory price was four Hong Kong dollars. The 1.5 million printed copies were also taken away, and a payment of 6 million Hong Kong dollars was received. In addition, 9,800 sets of hardcover collector''s editions were removed. The retail price was 40 Hong Kong dollars, the ex-factory price was 32 Hong Kong dollars, and the payment was 313,600 Hong Kong dollars. So far, the company''s account has placed a total of 13.243,600 Hong Kong dollars for goods. Of course, this money is not a profit. When the time comes, it will be used to settle the material costs with the merchants who provide the raw materials. Now the money is still under pressure. Moreover, this money was also obtained from overdraft for a period of time. After all, so many books, although they will definitely be sold out, it still takes a certain amount of time to be sold. It is impossible to sell out in one day. The fact is also true. On the table, the sales reported by the major booksellers are registered. Although the contents of the third and fourth volumes have been published in the newspaper, they are read serially after all. After so long, many people may have forgotten part of the plot, and some people even missed part of the plot, so the third volume And the fourth book still sells well. Yesterday¡¯s day, the entire Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even island countries sold a small amount of The third volume sold a total of 222,000 copies, plus the pre-sold 343,000 copies. A total of 565,000 copies were sold. The fourth volume sold a total of 88,000 copies in one day yesterday, plus the 325,000 pre-sold copies, and a total of 543,000 copies were sold. The fifth book sold the most. A total of 331,000 copies were sold yesterday, plus the pre-sold 557,000 copies, and a total of 888,000 copies were sold! As for the hardcover collector¡¯s edition of "Xun Qin Ji", the pre-sale reached 8124 sets, and the 9800 sets that were taken away left 1676 sets for real-time sales. As a result, they disappeared in the morning, so 9800 sets were sold out. In addition, the first and second volumes were also sold for 58,000 and 52,000 copies respectively, making a total of 110,000 copies. Because the pre-sold book was also received yesterday, although it must have not been collected, Gavin Peter will not care about it. Even if it is sold out, it is counted in yesterday''s sales. So when the five volumes are added up, a total of 55,000 books were sold in one day yesterday, directly setting a record that is out of reach for other publishing companies! The previous record set by Jiuding Newspaper, which published the first and second volumes of "Xun Qin Ji", directly increased several times! With such a high record, the most important thing is due to the pre-sale system. In fact, with the seven-day pre-sale time, the eight days of sales are concentrated into one day! This is also the case, it will set a sales record that shocked people''s attention! This record can be maintained for at least ten or twenty years. In the future, the people of Xiangjiang will live a wealthy life. This record should be exceeded, but the new record must be created by Jiuding Book Publishing Company in time! Xia Yu firmly believes in this! 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone''s reading academy Chapter 219: What is a consortium? (2 in 1 large "Very good, you did a good job! Keep working hard!" After reading it, Xia Yu raised his head and praised Gavin Peter, who was looking forward to it. "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Xia Yu¡¯s praise made Gavin Peter very happy, but he still didn¡¯t go to his head, knowing that this time the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" was so high, he actually did not take much credit. The foundation and influence of "Looking for the Qin" are there, and "Jiuding Daily" continues to assist. Even if it is published by the original Jiuding Newspaper Company, the sales volume will not be much worse than it is now. So Gavin Peter¡¯s mind is very calm. This time it can¡¯t be counted on him. He just executed Xia Yu¡¯s orders. What really shows his ability should be the publication of other books and various businesses. Pioneering, until then, how much can he do to truly reflect his ability. Seeing that Gavin Peter was very calm, not arrogant or impetuous, Xia Yu nodded secretly, and his evaluation of him was a little higher in his heart. As expected, he is indeed the one who can make Penguin Publishing Group the number one in the industry. Looking at the watch in his hand again, Xia Yu asked, "Has this data been released to the public?" "It has been announced to the public. I made a list of overtime work last night. Then I communicated with Yan Wenhan and put the data on the "Jiuding Daily" and asked him to help promote it." Gavin Peter replied quickly. "Well, good job!" Xia Yu nodded lightly and said. It stands to reason that Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Book Publishing Company are two companies. The cooperation between them must follow the procedures, just like Jiuding Book Publishing Company advertises in the "Jiuding Daily", and it has to pay advertising fees. But this time the publication of "Xun Qin Ji" belongs to the boss Xia Yu. Yan Wenhan will definitely not set up any obstacles. After all, the company belongs to the boss. He will only talk about money unless his brain is flooded. Qian''s left hand fell to his right, and instead he had to pay another tax, and the loss was Xia Yu''s money. Moreover, this time the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" set an unparalleled record. It is a breaking news in itself. Even if Gavin Peter does not say, as the leader of a qualified newspaper company, such news must be arranged by people. To report. Of course, speaking of it, the most important thing is that. Although it is divided into two companies, they are all 100% controlled by the same boss. It can be said that they are brothers, and there is no restriction from outsiders. In addition, Xia Yu also specifically explained However, in special periods, some things must be done in accordance with the rules and regulations, but some rules and regulations can be ignored first to speed up work efficiency and allow the company to develop faster. It is precisely because of this that Yan Wenhan, Wang Qi, Ma Tengdong and Gavin Peter have also become good friends in private. Many things are very easy to communicate, help each other, and rely on the resources of other parties to develop their own jurisdiction. company of. Xia Yu is also very aware of this situation, and this is what he is willing to see. As long as these four companies develop, there will be a rudimentary form of a small consortium. As long as one bank is added, it can be properly regarded as a small local and regional consortium. Although limited by the small number of industries, it will appear Very partial and thin. As a consortium, the most important point is that the core enterprises within the consortium must exchange resources, help each other develop, and be consistent with the outside world! What is a consortium? It can be understood from the simplest literal meaning, that is, wealth is grouped and financial strength is grouped. Therefore, it should be grouped for development and exchange needs. It is with this consideration that Xia Yu encourages them to communicate and cooperate. After staying at Jiuding Book Publishing Company for a while, Xia Yu encouraged Gavin Peter and went to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in the same building. ... "boss!" "Boss, good morning!" "Hello!" Xia Yu walked into the company with his hands behind his back. When the employees saw Xia Yu, they said hello respectfully. Xia Yu smiled kindly and nodded in response. Xia Yu discovered that the attitude of the company''s employees toward him has changed a lot. He can clearly tell that the employees respected him before, but now they are full of awe. Xia Yu pondered for a moment and felt that it should have started when he started to rectify the Xiangjiang comics industry. When Yulang Book Company and Shenghuo Publishing House ceased operations for rectification, and many other comic companies were also implicated, the attitude of the employees became fundamental. Variety. It is estimated that his methods shocked them. I didn''t expect that Xia Yu, a harmless boss who looked human and animals, would be so cruel, and they, as practitioners in the comics industry, would have a deeper understanding than the outside human body. In particular, many of the company''s employees who have quit from other comic companies must feel very complicated during this period. After thinking about it, Xia Yu didn''t care anymore. This kind of thing can only let the employees adapt to him slowly, instead of his boss changing with them. Xia Yu walked into the company. When passing by Ma Tengdong¡¯s office, he saw his office door open. Ma Tengdong was sitting at his desk thinking, his expression was a bit tangled, and his expression changed. It seemed that he was too focused and did not notice Xia Yu. At the door. Xia Yu knocked on the door, and Ma Tengdong raised his head impatiently. When he saw that it was Xia Yu, he immediately stood up, restrained his impatient expression, and said respectfully: "Boss!" "Ok!" "Oh? Has the first issue of "Military Manke" magazine finished?" Walking to the front, Xia Yu glanced casually, and when he saw something on Ma Tengdong''s desk, he raised his brow and said. "Yes, boss, I just arranged for someone to print the first book today. I''m going to report this to you. You can take a look." Ma Tengdong said immediately, then took the magazine and handed it to Xia Yu. "Okay, let me see first!" Xia Yu took the magazine, then sat on the sofa and looked at it with scrutiny eyes. Ma Tengdong started to make tea on the side, watching the changes in his boss Xia Yu''s expression from time to time. Xia Yu didn''t read the content of the comics, but looked at the structure, layout and layout of the magazine. After a long time, Xia Yu flipped through the entire magazine and said with a satisfied smile: "Well, it''s pretty good, just print it according to this template." Hearing Xia Yu''s evaluation, Ma Tengdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Okay, I''ll make arrangements later." "By the way, what is the cost of this magazine and do you have any suggestions for the price?" "Boss, the design of our magazine is 16-fold in length, with a total of forty-eight pages, and according to your requirements, the inner pages are full-color pages, so the printing cost is relatively high." "I have done calculations. If you print according to the printing volume of 100,000 copies, all the costs can be controlled at about 1.3 Hong Kong dollars. The cost will decrease with the increase of the printing volume. In order to ensure the profit, I suggest the ex-factory price is At 2.2 Hong Kong dollars, the unified retail price is 3 Hong Kong dollars, leaving 26.7% of the gross profit to distributors." Ma Tengdong blurted out the report, he knew this data well. Hearing what Ma Tengdong said, Xia Yu thought for a while, nodded silently, and approved the price. He had known about the situation of Xiangjiang comics industry before. Huang Yulang''s "Dragon and Tiger Gate" is also 16-open, but it is 16-open horizontally, while "Friends Manke" is 16-open vertical. And the number of editions is the same forty-eight editions, so in this respect, the paper cost of "Military Friend" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" are the same. In terms of color, "Dragon Tiger Gate" is also a full-color page, and the retail price is 2.5 Hong Kong dollars per copy. However, this price has been implemented since 1976, and has remained unchanged for two years. Therefore, Ma Tengdong mentioned the price of "Zhiyin Manke" to 3 Hong Kong dollars, which is not too high. I have mentioned 0.5 Hong Kong dollars in two years. I believe readers should also accept it. Moreover, it is now in a special period. The Hong Kong government is vigorously rectifying the comics industry, which has caused many comic magazines to cease publication, and readers have money and cannot draw. So this is a good time to raise prices. As long as the "Military Man Ke" comes out, even if it is 0.5 Hong Kong dollars higher, readers will still accept it if there is no choice, and they will naturally adapt. If the price is raised, the profit of the comic magazine has increased by 0.5 Hong Kong dollars. According to the printing volume of 100,000 copies, the cost of a copy of 1.3 Hong Kong dollars and the ex-factory price of 2.2 Hong Kong dollars, the gross profit of selling comics alone can be 40%, and if the printing volume increases and the cost decreases, the gross profit will be even higher. ! In the situation Xia Yu learned, the retail price of "Dragon Tiger Gate" was 2.5 Hong Kong dollars and the ex-factory price was 1.8 Hong Kong dollars. The cost should be around 1.4 Hong Kong dollars, and the gross profit was only 22.2%. But for comics, magazines can be profitable even if they are very profitable, in addition to advertising revenue, and peripheral licensing revenue, those are the big ones. The gross profit calculated by Xia Yu''s "Friends Manke" can be so high, the most important thing is to increase the price by 0.5 Hong Kong dollars, which in vain has a gross profit of 0.5 Hong Kong dollars. "Yes, the price is based on this!" Xia Yu said to Ma Tengdong who was waiting for comments. Ma Tengdong nodded and replied: "Yeah!" Suddenly, Xia Yu remembered something wrong with Ma Tengdong just now, and he asked with concern: "Tengdong, I saw you frowning just now, why? What''s the trouble?" Ma Tengdong was taken aback, but he didn''t expect his boss to see him just now. But now that the boss saw it, and he hesitated to raise the matter with the boss, since the boss took the initiative to ask at this time, he didn¡¯t hesitate anymore. He planned to say it and asked the boss what his plan was and if he had any plans. He continued to struggle. After making the decision, Ma Tengdong bit his head and said: "There is no problem, but I want to ask you, when will our comic magazine be released? The current situation of the Xiangjiang comic industry and public opinion seems..." In the end, Ma Tengdong still didn''t have the courage to explain it. After all, the current situation, or the dilemma, was caused by the boss. If he continued, he would have the meaning of blaming the boss. But even if Ma Tengdong did not continue to say, Xia Yu understood what he wanted to express. "It turned out to be the problem, I thought you were worried about it!" Xia Yu smiled carelessly and said. Seeing the boss''s reaction, Ma Tengdong was a little confused. He blinked and found that the boss didn''t seem to be surprised or worried. Does the boss already have plans? Ma Tengdong raised an expectation in his heart and looked at Xia Yu tightly. "I didn''t tell you clearly before. I considered this matter from the beginning. The purpose of using public opinion is to clean up other colleagues, reshape the environment of the comics industry, and formulate new rules. It is not to destroy the comics industry." "Now that the plan is only partly underway, you are worried that the current public opinion situation is a one-sided boycott of comics. You don''t have to worry about this. Now that the "Military Manke" has been finalized, it is time to get the comics industry back on track. " "I can make public opinion fall to one side, and I can naturally also make public opinion fall to the other side, so you don''t have to worry, now you are ready to publish a magazine soon." Xia Yu explained with a smile. Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ma Tengdong was overjoyed and completely relieved. At the same time, he secretly blamed himself. Sure enough, he thought a lot. The boss thought more about things than him. He was just eating carrots and not worrying. Thinking that the magazine would be published soon, and after more than two months, it was finally time to test the results. Ma Tengdong couldn''t help clenching his fist, looking forward to it. "Now you are going all out to prepare. If the time comes and you are out of the basket, I will find your trouble Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong and said jokingly. Although the boss said in a joking tone, Ma Tengdong paid attention to it 200%, and solemnly said: "Boss, rest assured, I will be ready to make sure that I will not get out of the basket!" "Well, make a release plan, let me see in a few days!" Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, then exhorted. "Yes!" Ma Tengdong raised the volume and promised. "Go, take me to various comic studios to have a look, so I can understand the specific progress." After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu put down the cup and stood up and said. "Please follow me!" Ma Tengdong said quickly, and then led Xia Yu to the comics studio. The first one to enter is the "Dragon Ball" studio. As soon as I entered, I saw dozens of employees immersed in painting, and the entire studio was filled with the rustle of paintbrushes rubbing on the paper. Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong walked in and looked at each employee''s drawing. Some employees raised their heads and found Xia Yu and two people. They just wanted to speak, but they saw Xia Yu beckoning to stop them. At this time, Xia Yu saw Ma Rongcheng concentrate on painting. He walked behind him, watched him paint, observed for a minute, and showed a satisfied smile. Indeed, although Ma Rongcheng is not very strong, but considering his age, he is already better than his peers. At least, as Xia Yu just saw, Ma Rongcheng¡¯s level is no longer as good as those of the twenty-two-year-old employees. Worse. Retracting his gaze, he saw Song Quanping who was waiting quietly. Xia Yu nodded at him and said, "Go to your office and call the other two team leaders." After Song Quanping responded, he took Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong towards the office. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone''s reading academy Chapter 220: Guide public opinion In the office, Xia Yu listened to the specific work report of Song Quanping and learned that the completed drawings were enough for five serial issues. A weekly magazine of "Milky Way" has only forty-eight editions. There are four major themes of Meng Huanrui, which corresponds to the twelve editions of each theme. If only one comic is serialized, there is already a lot of plot content that can be shown. After listening to the report, Xia Yu encouraged the people a few more words, and then went to the other three studios to check the work situation. After some understanding, Xia Yu is satisfied with the situation. The progress of the four studios is about the same. It is estimated that they are secretly competing with each other to keep their studios from falling behind too much. Later, Xia Yu returned to Ma Tengdong¡¯s office and encouraged him: "Tengdong, the company is well managed, keep working hard!" Ma Tengdong nodded and promised: "Don''t worry, boss, I will definitely continue to cheer!" "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded lightly and saw the magazine he had just read on the desktop. With a heart move, he picked it up and said to Ma Tengdong, "I will take this copy first, and reprint it if you want." Then, once again exhorted Ma Tengdong, Xia Yu left Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and went to Jiuding Newspaper Company. After arriving at the newspaper company, I found Yan Wenhan. Xia Yu didn''t say much, and directly asked Yan Wenhan to act. Yan Wenhan, who was already prepared, immediately took the order. Busy, one day passed, Xia Yu returned home. After dinner, after a long rest, Xia Yu knocked on his brother Xia Ming''s door. "Brother, you are here." The door opened, and after seeing Xia Yu, Xia Ming shouted with a smile. "Doing homework? Have you finished?" Xia Yu put his hands behind his back, walked into Xia Ming''s room, saw the book spread out on the table, he asked with concern. "It''s done, now I''m previewing the following knowledge." Xia Ming answered honestly. "Yes, Not Bad!" Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile and admired him. Hearing Xia Ming smiled and scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed when he was happy. "Here you are, take it, I confiscated your comics before, and now I''m returning one to you." Xia Yu finally took his hand out from behind, and passed the "Military Manke" magazine in his hand to Xia Ming, and said with a smile. Xia Ming took the magazine in a daze. He lowered his head and looked at it. It turned out to be a comic book. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Yu. He said in disbelief, "Brother, is this for me?" "Not for you or for whom?" Xia Yu patted Xia Ming''s head lightly, and asked with a smile. "Didn''t you say that reading comics is bad?" Although Xia Ming was very happy and held the magazine in his hand tightly, the story of the "Bruce Lee" comic that was confiscated by his brother at the time has been kept in his heart and he can''t forget it, so he asked inexplicably. "I didn''t say that comics are bad, I mean that comics like Bruce Lee are not good." "You have to remember that there is no absolute good or bad in the world. Whether a thing is good or bad depends on the person. Comics are only cultural works, and the most important thing in cultural works is the thoughts contained in them. I am not against it. You read the comics. What I am opposed to is that you read those comics that spread bad ideas. Do you understand?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and taught. "Oh!" Xia Ming nodded seemingly understanding. "The "Bruce Lee" comics you read before, although there are some positive things, but most of them are **** and violent. It is easy to lead people to use violence to solve problems. This is harmful to your growth." "The comic magazine I gave you was made by my own company. The comics contained in it are all positive and you can read it, and it has not been sold to the outside world. This is the first one. I''ll bring it to you. You can take a look after you finish your homework. I hope you will think more and learn good things in entertainment." Xia Yuyu taught the Tao with heart and soul. For his younger brothers and sisters, Xia Yu hopes that they will get better and better. In the previous life, he was the eldest of the family and was used to taking care of the younger brothers at home. In this life, the parents have no education and can''t help the children. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. When the parents cannot give enough instruction to the younger brothers and sisters, Xia Yu naturally took the initiative to provoke this burden. "Hmm! Don''t worry, brother, I will use my brain more and learn more!" Feeling Xia Yu''s heartfelt concern, Xia Ming was very moved, pursing his lips and nodding to promise. Seeing that Xia Ming had heard what he said to his heart, Xia Yu was relieved, encouraged him again, and then left Xia Ming''s room. After Xia Yu left, Xia Ming looked at the comic magazine in his hand, then sat down at the table and flipped through it. At first glance, he was attracted by the novel comics. However, he kept his brother''s teaching firmly in mind, read it very slowly, and stopped to think from time to time. In this way, Xia Ming suddenly discovered that there are actually a lot of things in the short plots and dialogues. As long as you think carefully, you can figure out some useful things. This is completely different from how he reads the comics before, just browses quickly, hangs on the surface, and remembers the protagonist to fight and kill and push the enemy horizontally after reading. No words for a night. The jade rabbit falls to the west, and the golden crow rises to the east. When the golden sunlight falls on the earth, a beautiful day has come again. Early that morning, when many readers who subscribed to Fengyun Daily picked up the newspaper, they saw a headline that aroused their interest. Are Comics Really Useless? ¡· As a reader of "Fengyun Daily", you know that it has clearly criticized the entire Xiangjiang comics industry. It can be said that it has smashed the Xiangjiang comics industry into the stinking ditch, and it has become disgusting by everyone, resulting in the whole society''s attitude towards comics. resist. They have already put the label of''anti-comic pioneer'' on Fengyun Daily. However, Fengyun Daily, which is now an "anti-comic pioneer", has changed its attacking attitude towards Xiangjiang Comics in the past and seems to want to rectify the name of the comics industry. This situation made everyone confused, but their curiosity was mobilized and immediately read. "Manga is a form of expression of literature, which is different from ordinary literary works, but its essence is the same. As a carrier of thought, it spreads the thoughts of literary creators... From the reader''s point of view, literary creation indirectly affects the development of readers¡¯ thoughts, so as a literary creator, you should always keep in mind your sense of social responsibilitynot to spread negative thoughts such as pornography, blood, violence, etc... ¡­ As a form of literary expression, comics are neutral in nature. What determines their nature is the thoughts spread on them. Comics that are bloody, violent and spread negative energy like "Dragon Tiger Gate" should be prohibited. But are comics really useless? When the content serialized on the comics is full of positive energy, it guides readers to learn hard work, self-motivated, friendly... In addition to this article, there are articles such as "Literary creators should keep in mind social responsibility and spread positive energy! ", "On the Feasibility of Education and Fun" and other articles. Each of this article analyzes the problem from a dialectical point of view, which is thought-provoking. Readers who originally read the news are full of prejudice against comics. When thinking along the direction of the article, they unknowingly eliminate the prejudice against the comics industry. a lot of. Many readers began to discuss it. In the course of the debate, more and more people found that they really shouldn''t kill an industry with a stick, but the resistance to negative energy comics such as **** violence has not diminished. In addition, after reading this issue of "Fengyun Daily", there are two hot topics. One is the novel but easy-to-understand term "positive energy". The other is "entertainment with fun". Playing is the child¡¯s nature and cannot be prevented. However, no parent does not want their children to be positive, so if education and entertainment can be combined together, the child How will you grow? With the "Fengyun Daily" guiding public opinion, many newspapers also followed up immediately and began to discuss it extensively. Public opinion is moving in the direction Xia Yu wants to see. This change also surprises Ma Tengdong, who has been following him. His enthusiasm for work has increased sharply, and he is looking forward to the day when "Military Manke" is officially released. bq more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone''s reading academy Chapter 221: "Milky Way" leaked ahead of time In the next few days, "Fengyun Daily" continued to guide public opinion. The whole society has become sensible. It no longer resists one-sidedly to resist the comics industry. It has become a "negative energy" comic that continues to resist bloody, violent pornography. "Positive Energy" comics are acceptable. It¡¯s just that Xiangjiang¡¯s comics industry is basically finalized. There are two leaders in Bruce Lee and Dragon Tiger Gate that are bad examples. The comics circulating on the market are all of the same type. There is no comic book that meets the current "positive". The definition of "energy" is a hot word in society. Therefore, readers still don''t have an image concept for what kind of "positive energy" comics are. By this time, some people had guessed that Xia Yu''s purpose was to pave the way for his own company''s comics. Just recalling everything that Fengyun Daily had done before, creating public opinion, sweeping the entire comics industry, and removing possible obstacles, many people shudder. Unbelievable! Daring! Amazing energy! ... A series of words appeared in their minds, but they had to admit that Xia Yu was really powerful and could not be easily provoked. Some people involuntarily remembered that a few months ago, Xia Yu used the "Jiuding Daily" to guide public opinion, causing both the Wu family and the "Oriental Daily" to suffer heavy losses. It''s just that after a few months, Xia Yu did not specifically target anyone, and people are forgetful, so some people almost forgot Xia Yu''s greatness, this time they once again awakened their memories. Many people can''t help feeling that the big guy is the big guy after all, even if it has been silent for a long time, they can''t ignore it. In the process of "Fengyun Daily" has been guiding public opinion, the sales volume of sesame blossoms is steadily high. The latest daily sales volume has reached 830,000 copies, and it is working hard to follow the pace of "Jiuding Daily". "Fengyun Daily" is progressing, and "Jiuding Daily" has not stagnated. The highest sales volume has also increased by about 20,000 from the previous 950,000 copies, reaching 970,000 copies, which is more and more away from the million-day sales record. near. But at this point, whether it is "Jiuding Daily" or "Fengyun Daily", they have shown that they have the full potential to break into the ranks of millions of sales. The two stand in a unified ranks and throw away the third "Sing Tao Daily". Behind. Now the newspaper industry in Xiangjiang and the entire Southeast Asia is in a clear situation. "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" are in the first array; "Sing Tao Daily" is in the second array, and other newspapers are in the third array and beyond. And because of the severe impact of "Fengyun Daily", the overall sales of "Sing Tao Daily" is still declining, and the gap with the first array is getting bigger and bigger. The situation is very bad. In addition to these two newspapers, Jiuding Newspaper¡¯s other pillar, "Economy" Weekly is also getting better and better. With the company''s continuous expansion of channels, "Economy" Weekly magazines have been sold to island countries and South Korea. Companies interested in Xiangjiang and the Southeast Asian market have subscribed, and after reading it, they have a high evaluation of "Economics" weekly. It is believed that "Economics" Weekly is the magazine that best reflects the economic and commercial development of Xiangjiang Omen and Southeast Asia, and its reference value and use value are very high! Because of this increasing reputation, the influence of "Economics" magazine has spread rapidly. The sales volume in the latest week has reached 880,000 copies, and because of the increasing influence abroad, the advertising content is also getting higher and higher. , The popularity is getting higher and higher, and many companies that want to sell their products abroad are scrambling for advertising space. Under this trend, the weekly advertising revenue of "Economics" magazine has also increased. Last week, the advertising revenue reached 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars, firmly occupying the first place in the advertising revenue of the paper media industry. Even "Jiuding Daily" has to stay aside. station! Similarly, in the past few days, Jiuding Book Publishing Company''s results are also very dazzling. The fifth volume of "Xun Qin Ji" after the first day of sales of 888,000 copies, took the lead in the ranks of millions of sales, reaching 1.03 million copies. quantity. The cumulative sales of the third and fourth volumes were 683,000 and 677,000 respectively. The sales volume of the first and second volumes also increased by about 50,000 again. Together with the cumulative sales of the previous few months, the sales of both volumes reached 1.95 million. This kind of achievement makes Gavin Peter full of passion. He has already made the sales plan for other martial arts novels, and plans to follow the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" and launch other martial arts novels to create Jiuding Book Publishing Company Martial Arts Novels. The reputation and power of the publishing business came. ... Early in the morning, after eating, Xia Ming''s three children went to school in a car. As soon as Xia Ming sat in his seat, he saw Li Chengze at the same table looking at him eagerly, and muttering: "Aming, did you forget this time, did you bring it?" Seeing the person at the same table, Xia Ming was a little amused. He opened his schoolbag and took out the "Military Friend" magazine and handed it to Li Chengze. Li Chengze hurriedly took it, but found that he was held tightly by Xia Ming. He said anxiously. : "Amin, what are you doing? Didn''t you say that you can lend it to me, don''t you regret it?" "What are you talking about! I''ll tell you clearly, just let you see it alone, you are not allowed to take it home, you are not allowed to lend it to others, and you are not allowed to see it in class. Don''t be confiscated by the teacher. This is what my brother gave me. Missing or rotten, I will never finish with you!" Xia Ming stared closely at Li Chengze, with a very determined attitude. "Don''t worry, I promise you and promise to do it!" Li Chengze immediately nodded and agreed. At this time, Xia Ming let go of his hand reluctantly, and watched Li Chengze grab the manga with joy. This scene happened because Xia Ming couldn''t help but show off in front of Li Chengze after watching "Friends" in the past few days, which made Li Chengze itch and begged Xia Ming to bring it to him. Li Chengze is a comic book fan. Xia Ming reads comics and is also influenced by Li Chengze. Not only Xia Ming, there is also a small group in the class, all of whom like comics. In that group, Li Chengze, who reads the most comics, is the core character. It''s just that since comics such as "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Bruce Lee" ceased publication, the entire small group has been caught in a comic panic, and all of them have been stunned by frost, all day long. What Li Chengze didn¡¯t expect was that Xia Ming, who was introduced to the door of comics by him, showed off to him Pikachu, the electric mouse with a capacity of 100,000 volts, the boy who wanted to be the one-piece king who conquered the sea, and the magical devil fruit, and What martial spirit soul beast spirit ring has never heard of, this aroused Li Chengze''s curiosity and desire to explore. After learning that Xia Ming''s knowledge was seen in comics, Li Chengze didn''t believe it at all. After all, he had been clamoring that he had read all the comics, but none of the comics had what Xia Ming said. How could this make him believe? But Xia Ming was so sure that he swore to the sky, so Li Chengze had to believe it, and then he began to beg Xia Ming. I couldn¡¯t bear the pleading of the same table and Xia Ming did read it. The most important thing is that this magazine is of great significance to him. It was given to him by his brother. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t help groaning, thinking Show off to others. In the morning, Li Chengze was completely caught up in the four magical comics. If Xia Ming didn''t allow him to read it in class, he promised to read it all the time. It¡¯s just that Xia Ming was caught off guard. He still didn¡¯t read Li Chengze. His big mouth was completely unreliable. After his mouth, more and more people knew that Xia Ming had a comic magazine with four comics in it. No one has seen it, but it is very beautiful. As a result, more and more people borrowed from him, and Xia Ming, who could not save face, gave in step by step. More and more people knew about "Military Manke" and wanted to borrow it. Many people asked Xia Ming. Xia Ming kept silent about where he bought it. When he returned home in the afternoon, Xia Ming used a lot of energy to bring back "Milk Manke". Looking at the crumpled magazine, Xia Ming was very depressed, and he also realized that he seemed to have made a mistake because of this book. It seems that the magazine has not been released to the public, but it has been read by many people now, and he is worried that it will spoil his brother. The heavy-minded Xia Ming was very depressed. When sitting in the car, he was full of thoughts about how to admit his mistakes like his brother. Chapter 222: Wrong and wrong, perfect plan In the evening, as soon as Xia Yu entered the room, Xia Ming followed him in. Looking at Xia Ming with his head down and a guilty expression on his face, Xia Yu raised his brow and asked him to sit down and ask, "Amin, what''s the matter?" "Brother, sorry, I made a mistake." Xia Ming pursed his mouth and said in a low voice, the expression of shame on his face became more obvious. "What did you make wrong?" Xia Yu asked curiously, the first time he saw his brother like this. "You gave me the "Milky Man Ke" comic magazine. I took it to school today. I originally showed it to me at the same table, but in the end many people read it. I shouldn¡¯t have taken it to school, sorry. ." Xia Ming said truthfully, looking at his brother Xia Yu pitifully, and when he saw his brow frown, he felt a little bit more, and he was ready to be taught by his brother. Xia Yu did not expect such a problem to occur, but he was not angry, but asked gently: "How many people watched it?" "There should be more than ten people, all from our class." Xia Ming answered honestly. Xia Yu''s heart loosened, only more than a dozen, what''s the point, as long as there is no mass leak, and he sees all his classmates, and would not even think about copying, anyway, it will be sold out. , There is no risk. Suddenly, Xia Yu''s heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Then how do they evaluate "Milk Manke" after reading it?" "They like it very much and have a very high evaluation. They say they have never read this kind of comics. They feel very novel. Compared with this, the previous "Bruce Lee" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" are rubbish. They always ask me where I bought them. It depends on the story behind!" Seeing that his brother was not angry, he asked about the evaluation. Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his brother didn''t care. But when he heard this question, he remembered the reaction of his friends and couldn''t help but say proudly. The volume was also louder. . After all, this comic is owned by his brother''s company, so he is proud of the high evaluation of his classmates! Seeing his brother''s reaction, Xia Yu felt happy and couldn''t help smiling. From a glimpse, I know the whole leopard. It seems that young people are very satisfied with "Milk Manke". Although they have guessed it, Xia Yu is more confident now that he knows the situation! Moreover, Xia Yu suddenly found that he had overlooked a problem. "Fengyun Daily" had a great influence, but almost all the people who read the newspaper were adults. A large part of his marketing plan was to let "Fengyun Daily" assist, but It now appears that the plan has to be changed. The main customer group of "Zhiyin Manke" is mainly adolescents, but they hardly read newspapers. After Fengyun Daily changed the views of adults on the comics industry, it learned from the newspapers that this kind of comic magazine "Milk Manke" would not blame children for reading it, but it would not take the initiative to buy it for children. Thinking about it this way, the "Fengyun Daily"''s role in propaganda for the "Military Manke" comic magazine is actually not that great. It cannot directly apply its own energy to the magazine. Instead, it has a greater effect on eliminating prejudice against comics. Now that this problem is discovered, it is natural to change the plan in time. However, this change was relatively simple, and Xia Yu thought of another simple but effective way to replace it. At the same time, "Fengyun Daily" can also change the way the plan is implemented, increase the effect of publicity, and maybe take the opportunity to market and increase sales. After thinking of the best of both worlds, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Xia Ming, who wandered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking. "Amin, you did me a favor, haha, that brother won''t blame you, but you have to remember that comics can''t be read in class. It''s okay to relax after class." Xia Yu patted Xia Ming on the shoulder and laughed. Hearing his brother actually said that he did a favor, he is not to blame. Xia Ming blinked and touched the back of his head, as if Monk Zhang Er was confused. It doesn''t matter if I can''t figure it out, but one thing is certain, that is, he was forgiven by his brother, which made Xia Ming feel good and grinned. "Go back to the room, read a book again, and take a bath and sleep later." "Well, brother, then I''m leaving now!" Xia Ming nodded obediently, and then left with ease. After sending Xia Ming away, Xia Yu took out his notebook and began to write. He wanted to write down the plan he had just thought of, and then perfect it to make sure nothing went wrong. The next day, Xia Yu came to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and immediately called Ma Tengdong to his office. "Boss, what can you tell me?" After entering, Ma Tengdong asked respectfully. "Sit down first. There is a problem with the plan. Now I have changed the plan. You can take a look at it first and then give your opinion." Xia Yu said, pushing the details of the plan that had been worked out to Ma Tengdong. There is a problem with the plan! And the boss has changed the plan? ! Ma Tengdong was taken aback and didn''t say much. He immediately sat down and took a serious look at the plan in front of him. In the process of watching, Ma Tengdong''s expression kept changing, ranging from shame, shock to surprise, and so on. After reading it, Ma Tengdong took a deep breath and then vomited heavily. He raised his head and looked at Xia Yu, who was holding his arms around his chest. He said with shame and emotion: "Boss, sorry, I overlooked such a serious problem. Fortunately, you found out, and you didn¡¯t expect your new plan to be so big." Thinking of the funds of more than one million Hong Kong dollars consumed by the plan, Ma Tengdong was full of emotion. The boss was really rich, and without blinking his eyes, he threw out millions of dollars in funds. "It''s okay. You don''t have to blame yourself. I didn''t find this problem either. I took it for granted." Xia Yu comfortedly said that since he hadn''t found the problem, he would naturally not blame Ma Tengdong, after all, he completely agreed with Ma Tengdong''s plan after review. The only blame is that he has been so smooth during this period of time. Although he has always reminded himself to be careful, his mentality has changed unconsciously, and he has become a little proud and blind. Now that this happened, he was reminded in time to wake up, and there is still enough time to wake up now. "How do you feel about this plan?" Xia Yu leaned forward and looked at Ma Tengdong seriously, wanting to hear his opinions and see if there were any loopholes. Ma Tengdong did not rush to answer, but lowered his head and continued to look at it with a thoughtful look in his eyes. For a long time, Ma Tengdong raised his head and looked at Xia Yu and shook his head firmly and said: "Boss, I have no other opinions. Your plan is perfect!" Xia Yu smiled, and he could feel that this was Ma Tengdong''s truth, not a flattery. This plan is actually relatively simple and rude, and operability. He thought about it more than ten times last night, until he couldn''t improve it anymore. Now I ask Ma Tengdong to be foolproof and worry about what he might miss. "If this is the case, then implement it according to this plan, and you will arrange it now, and the printing plant will begin to run at full capacity, and strive for early release!" Xia Yu''s eyes condensed, and he said with a terrifying aura. "Understood! I''ll arrange it now!" Ma Tengdong replied loudly, holding his head high. At this moment, his blood began to boil. Everything is finally about to begin! Chapter 223: How to advertise Xia Yu''s plan is actually very simple, that is, to start the free method again and send it directly. According to the original plan, the "Fengyun Daily" with a daily sales volume of 830,000 copies was promoted. It also fits the trend of social public opinion hotspots. The "Military Manke" magazine can quickly become well-known, plus There are also promotional activities offline for various channel merchants, and sales will naturally not be small. But who knew that there was a fatal loophole in the original plan! Therefore, how to make the sales of the first issue of "Zhiyin Manke" as high as possible has become the focus. After all, the sales of the first phase will have a great influence on the sales of "Milk Manke" later, and Xia Yu has to take it seriously. Since he wanted to achieve this goal, Xia Yu immediately jumped out of the word free. After all, he was deeply poisoned by the concept of free in his previous life. Free is the most expensive! In the past life, whether it was an Internet giant or an entity giant, they had the essence of free and played a variety of dazzling routines, allowing users to enter the pit step by step, and then spend money unknowingly. Many people regret that if it weren''t because of curiosity or greed for petty gains, then there would be more and more expenses in the future! It is precisely because the impression is too deep, and the previous "Jiuding Daily" also benefited a lot from the free routine at the beginning. So this time, Xia Yu will once again choose to give this strategy for free. It''s just that this time it''s really not something ordinary people can afford to play. The entire Xiangjiang comics industry, Xia Yu has the strength and energy to implement it! After all, Xia Yu¡¯s plan was to print one million copies directly from the beginning, intending to send them all! And it is not capped! One million copies! What concept? With a printing volume of 100,000 copies, the cost of a single copy is around 1.3 Hong Kong dollars. Printing one million copies will greatly reduce the cost, but at most it will drop to around 1.1 Hong Kong dollars. According to this single cost, it would cost 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars to print one million copies! In addition to this minimum cost, there are other expenses, so how can the total sum of zero and zero cost one or two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. In order to give away a free issue of the magazine, they invested millions of Hong Kong dollars. Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang are absolutely incapable of this ability, and spending so much money will definitely make them feel bad. And when it¡¯s printed, Xia Yu¡¯s channel is the greatest guarantee to play its role as much as possible to spread its influence! If the investment of this million of funds can bring about 300,000 more sales for Xia Yu, then the total of the second phase, the third phase and the fourth phase, the profit from selling comic magazines alone will be enough to make up for the investment. , After the fourth period is pure profit. As for the delivery of millions of free comic magazines, can it bring 300,000 more users than if it is not free? Xia Yu is still very confident about this! So this plan, no matter how it counts, is Xia Yu''s profit! In the next few days, "Fengyun Daily" continued to guide public opinion, influence people''s attitudes towards comics, and pave the way for the publication of "Military Manke". Moreover, "Fengyun Daily" once again provoked a topic, that is, "Are comics only available to children? Is it suitable for adults to read comics!". As the "Fengyun Daily" has a long paragraph, citing classic analysis, and followed up by other newspapers following the trend, the popularity of this topic has begun to rise, and readers have started to think about the previous concept of "comics are what children see". Start to loosen. This is not impossible. After all, in island countries, adults love comics. And in the future mainland, there are also many young people who like to read comics, and the reading experience of comics with a combination of text and pictures is not comparable to dry text. This is exactly the result Xia Yu wants. If adults can change their minds so that they can accept and read comics, the market for comics will expand several times. After all, where is the consumption power of children as strong as adults? And two comics like "Douro Land" and "Dragon Ball" are indeed suitable for adults to read, and "Pokemon" is most suitable for younger children. Now the Xiangjiang comics industry has been swept away, just waiting for Xia Yu to occupy, Xia Yu has regarded it as his own territory, of course, he must find a way to expand his territory! At that time, he will only get the most benefits! Just as the "Fengyun Daily" continued to guide public opinion, Ma Tengdong also started to get busy. On the one hand, he organized manpower to notify channel merchants of news, and on the other hand worked overtime to print comic magazines. Regarding Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.''s plan to send magazines for free at the beginning, and ask them to help send them, the various distributors were not willing at first. After all, they wasted their time and energy, but after hearing the reasons for persuasion, their attitude immediately The degree of change has become very positive. There is only one reason, and that is, the more free delivery this time, the more customers will be obtained by then. Customers who get comic magazines from them for free will naturally be more likely to come back to them to buy them. Will benefit forever! Especially those bookstore owners who are right in front of the school, usually there is a bookstore in front of the school, and students are the main force in reading comics. The more they send out, the more students will buy the next issue next time. Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. paid for them to solicit future business. They only need to spend a little time and energy, and their cost is too low! Moreover, they also read the comics in advance and found that the quality is indeed very high, and it is completely safe for readers to dislike them, so the free conversion rate will definitely be high! Because of this, the distributors were all persuaded, and they were ready to let everyone who likes comics receive a comic magazine. As for anyone who has received comics in large quantities and sold them as waste paper? No one has this kind of thinking. This measure of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is also to recruit customers for major booksellers. If they are short-sighted and make some money to sell waste paper, their bookstore will not operate until now. And they can''t risk being discovered and offending Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to make that little money. The difference between the benefits and the risks is too big! not worth it! Xia Yu also took a dozen books back and gave it to his younger brother Xia Ming, and asked him to give it to his classmates to be a favor, which would also be considered as an increase in popularity for Xia Ming. Anyway, it will be given away for free in a few days. Sending a dozen or so copies in advance has no effect at all. Maybe they can use their mouths to promote it and increase the readership of "Military Manke"! Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye it is the day before the free delivery of "Military Manke". On this day, "Fengyun Daily" finally fully exposed its purpose and blatantly promoted "Friends Manke". However, in order not to destroy its own image, Fengyun Daily also played a high-sounding banner. That is to promote a comic magazine called "Zhiyin Manke", which advertises itself as a "positive energy" comic. It has been verified by the special review team of "Fengyun Daily" and does not contain "negative energy". However, whether "Mild Friends" is a "positive energy" comic or not, the "Fengyun Daily" does not count, and only the masses of the people say it. Therefore, "Fengyun Daily" invites all readers to supervise "Zhiyin Manke". As long as you purchase a copy of "Fengyun Daily" newspaper, you can get a free copy of "Zhongyin Manke" comic magazine worth three Hong Kong dollars at major newsstands. If you find any problems after reading, you can submit your feedback to Fengyun Daily. In addition, UU Reading and the "Military Manke" comics magazine also issued an official statement on the "Fengyun Daily", solemnly promising to accept the supervision of the whole society, and welcome criticism and corrections from the whole society! The two parties made a joint gesture, which really made readers have a good impression of "Military Manke", and no one paid attention to "Fengyun Daily" advertising for "Military Manke". Readers have turned their attention to the "Milk Manke" that they haven''t met yet. Now that the Hong Kong government is under high-pressure supervision of the comics industry, in such a severe situation, "Milk Manke" still dared to buck the trend and publish comics. That''s all, others secretly release it for fear of being targeted. However, "Military Friend" has announced to the whole society that it accepts supervision and criticism. The confident and socially responsible posture of "Military Friend" comic magazine is indeed very useful to readers. In the midst of all the anticipation and disturbance, one day passed in a flash, and finally came the day when the comic magazine "Milk Manke" came out! The result will be seen soon! Chapter 224: Great situation Dawn slowly opened the curtain, and another gorgeous and colorful morning came to the world with freshness. Early in the morning, the office workers stopped when they passed the newsstand, selected several newspapers, among them "Jiuding Daily", and then just prepared to pay. "Pretty boy, do you want to get another copy of "Fengyun Daily", buy a copy of "Fengyun Daily" today and you can receive a "Milky Manke" comic magazine worth three Hong Kong dollars! The opportunity is not to be missed!" The newsstand owner reminded. The office worker''s gesture of handing money aroused curiosity. He personally likes stocks, so he buys every issue of "Jiuding Daily", but he only buys occasional "Fengyun Daily" from the same company, and he just didn''t buy it yesterday, so I don''t know "Zhiyin Manke" News from comic magazines for free. But since the boss said it was worth three Hong Kong dollars, and the price only needed to buy a copy of Fengyun Daily, he thought about taking advantage of it. "Then I will get another copy of Fengyun Daily." The office worker drew a copy of Fengyun Daily from the newsstand. "Hold it, this is your magazine." The owner of the newsstand took out a comic magazine "Milk" and handed it to the office worker, and then took his money and started making change. Curiously picked up "Military Friend", the office worker roughly flipped it and put it in his bag, and began to read "Jiuding Daily", paying attention to the latest reports on the stock market. When I arrived at the company and continued to work, I wanted to read the newspaper in my spare time, but found that he had read the newspapers. It was really boring that he remembered the comic magazine that he had received for free. He never read comics and took out the magazine with the intention of passing the time. Turn it over. ""Douluo Continent"? Let me see..." After seeing the titles of the four comics, office workers were immediately attracted by the strange name "Douro Continent". After finding the number of pages, they read it. At this look, he was slowly immersed in it, his expression constantly changing with the progress of the plot. When he saw that Tang San had actually crossed the otherworldly continent and became a child, his eyes were full of shock, and his brain rumbling loudly. , Another continent? Also called Douluo Continent? Is the name of the manga? "Xun Qin Ji" traveled to ancient times and opened his eyes, but he did not expect to travel to a continent in another world! With such a big handwriting, he even planned to make up a world! Later, when Tang San was innately full of spirit power during the test, he felt happy for the protagonist from the heart. But when he saw that Tang San''s awakened Martial Spirit turned out to be the Blue Silver Grass, which was too trash to be trash, the office worker looked disappointed and his heart was empty. He felt aggrieved for Tang San, with such a top-notch talent, he actually awakened a **** martial arts soul, God teasing people! He had already substituted himself into Tang San''s role unconsciously, so naturally he was very upset! After that, I saw that the protagonist Tang San actually opened his other hand in front of his father. The martial arts soul turned out to be a weapon spirit, he turned out to be a very rare twin spirit, and one of them was still attacking power in the weapon spirit. A very powerful hammer! "That''s great, I knew Tang San was a genius, and he acted too cautiously, even knowing to hide in front of outsiders..." The office worker murmured in excitement, smiling unconsciously on his face, seeming to be happy for the protagonist. "Boom!" Suddenly, a voice awakened him. He felt a shadow over him. He suddenly raised his head and found that it was the boss who was looking at him and the cartoons in his hands with piercing eyes. He was suddenly excited. Although he was wailing his own bad luck, he respectfully said, "Boss!" "Ok!" The boss was expressionless, looked at the comic magazine in his hands that had not been closed, and said solemnly, "Is reading a comic?" "I''m sorry, boss, I have finished my work, so I want to relax. I just opened it." The office worker quickly apologized, and then explained it, hoping to win the boss''s understanding. Sure enough, when he heard him say that the work was done, the boss''s face eased, and he nodded slightly and said lightly: "Pay attention to the impact." "By the way, I just received a document from me. You can get it according to the above requirements." Seeing the boss turning around and preparing to leave, the office worker heard the boss''s voice before he could breathe a sigh of relief. He suddenly wailed in his heart, but he didn''t dare to refuse, and said, "Okay, boss!" It''s just that while doing things, his thoughts returned to the plot unknowingly, his heart was like a cat scratching, and he wanted to know what Tang San would encounter next. In order to finish the work in hand earlier and go to secretly read the comics, the working speed of office workers turned out to be much faster than usual. ... Of course, in addition to those who took a small advantage like this office worker who led the "Military Friend", there are also some people who took the mentality of finding a fault to receive a "Military Friend". For this situation, Xia Yu''s calculations have long been made, but Xia Yu is not worried about finding faults. He has reviewed the content without any stepping on the line, which is completely tenable! Then, something that shocked many people who found faults, that is, they never read cartoons, the first time they read it to find problems, and then hit the face of Fengyun Daily. Unexpectedly, they had sunk into the plot without knowing it, and they watched it with gusto. After watching it, they didn''t realize that they came to find fault. This made them feel very astonished, and then fell into contemplation. They completely changed their concept of comics and had a concrete concept of the so-called "positive energy" comics. "Pokemon" shows a magical world, teaches people to be brave, guides people''s curiosity and exploration of the future and the unknown, and makes people understand what dreams and goals are! The protagonist¡¯s wit and calmness in "Douluo Dalu" tells readers to learn to use their brains and to be calm when things happen... A series of funny and childish behaviors by the protagonist Monkey King in "Dragon Ball" When readers laugh, they are thought-provoking. Monkey King''s body is shining with kindness and justice... The protagonist Lu Fei in "One Piece" shows the elements of chasing dreams, hard work, persistence... Each of these four comics is thought-provoking when it comes to entertaining people, and is completely different from the previous comics that only fight and kill and promote the idea of ??grievances. "It turns out that comics are not only bloody, violent and pornographic elements, but also have a broader space. My horizons limit my imagination. Whose imagination is so rich that can create so many magical comics..." "If it''s this kind of comics, then I won''t stop my children from reading..." "Manga is really not just an entertainment book for children. In fact, adults like me can also read it..." ... After reading it, many people expressed their emotions, and their mentality has changed to varying degrees. Chapter 225: Country boy rushes to the city Liao Wei is also a manga fan. He is now studying at Diocesan Boys'' School, which happens to be in Xia Ming''s class next door. A few days ago, the small group that Xia Ming belonged to had a copy of "Friends Manke", but his eyes were bad. He was fortunate to ask one of them to borrow it once, and he was taken back less than half of it. But even though he only saw half of it, the comics in it had completely aroused his interest. It¡¯s just that the fame of the "Milk Manke" magazine quickly spread throughout Diocesan Boys'' School, but there are only more than ten comic magazines, and more and more people want to borrow them, and he can''t borrow them later. He went to borrow with hope again and again, but returned again and again in disappointment, which made him feel uncomfortable, who desperately wanted to know the next plot. Especially some people have already seen it and always get together to discuss passion, but he never sees it. Every time he goes to listen to their discussion, not only does not understand anything, but he gets hooked and scratched with the cat in his heart. It seems very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he got a piece of news from Xia Ming that excited him, that it would be officially released in a few days. For this reason, he goes to the bookstore in front of the school every day when he goes to school and asks to make sure that he can buy the comic magazine "Milk Manke" as soon as possible. Then he saw the poster posted on the wall of the bookstore. The owner of the bookstore gave him another clear message that everyone can get the comic magazine "Milk Manke" on the event date, and the first issue is completely free, but Only one copy per person! It''s finally time to wait! The news made him excited all night. Last night, he suffered from insomnia for the first time, and it was not until the early morning that he could not hold back falling asleep. But when the alarm clock rang this morning, even though he was too sleepy to open his eyes, he still jumped out of the bed with great power, washed quickly, and had no time to eat breakfast, so he rushed to school. Coming to the entrance of the school, Liao Wei ran into the bookstore in five steps and three steps, and asked with anticipation: "Boss, is "Milk Manke" here?" After seeing Liao Wei, the owner of the bookstore smiled and took out a brand-new "Milk Manke" magazine from under the table, and handed it to him under the excited and expectant look of Liao Wei, "Here you!" Seeing the comic magazine that I thought about day and night, Liao Wei quickly took it and said happily, "Thank you, boss!" "Boss, give you money!" With that, Liao Wei took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the bookstore owner. Unexpectedly, the bookstore owner didn¡¯t pick it up, but said with a smile: ¡°Take it, I said yesterday that this first issue of comic magazines is free, but the second issue will be charged from next week. This is 3 Hong Kong dollars!" Hearing this from the bookstore owner, Liao Wei was grateful and thankful, then opened the comic and read it, he was not prepared to enter school so quickly. Seeing Liao Wei''s obsession, the bookstore owner was in a good mood, and this customer was stabilized! Although the money was confiscated in this issue, he can make money from Liao Wei in every subsequent issue of "Milky Way" magazine, that''s the big head! Moreover, Liao Wei is not a special case. In the past few days, many students like Liao Wei ran to his store to ask about the news of "Military Manke" magazine. Those students will be loyal readers of "Military Manke" throughout the school. In the case of his own bookstore nearby, isn''t it the only way to buy from him in the future? Thinking of this, the bookstore owner was in a good mood and happily handed out copies of "Milk Manke" comic magazines to the students who came to inquire. Even as long as the students who enter his bookstore, even if they don¡¯t ask, he will take the initiative to give him a copy of "Milk Manke", hoping to attract readers for "My Manke" and make more customers in the future. Xia Ming¡¯s school was because he sent a lot of comics to his classmates. As a result, the news had spread. The students took the initiative to find comics in the bookstore. However, students in other schools did not know that there is a free "Military Manke" comic collar today. But it doesn¡¯t matter. Every owner who runs a bookstore in front of the school basically knows those students, which students often buy books in their store, what kind of books they buy, and which students like to read comics, they know in mind. So as long as those bookstore owners see which students have entered the bookstore, they will guide them to look at the event posters posted at the door of the bookstore, telling them that they can receive the comic magazine "Milky Way" today. For this reason, bookstores in front of other schools also send out comic magazines in large quantities on this day. These pictures mainly took place in Omentai Province and Southeast Asian countries. But in the island country, the situation is not good. After all, "Fengyun Daily" has little influence in the island country. So far, it has sold less than 10,000 copies, and almost all subscribers are Chinese. These Chinese have one characteristic, that is Generally, they are relatively old, even if they see the news of the comics of "Military Manke", they are still indifferent. They are not interested! And the influence of Jiuding companies in island countries is very small! No way, the island country is not its own territory after all. Although the distribution channels are well laid out, but the right to speak is not enough, so many things are inconvenient to do. In order to send out more comics as much as possible, Xia Yu can only use money. . On the one hand, it hired a large number of temporary workers to distribute the comic magazine "Zhiyin Manke" at the entrance of major middle and elementary schools; on the other hand, rented the most conspicuous location in major bookstores for publicity, and then spent a lot of money to put advertisements on island TV stations. It can be said that Xia Yu tried his best to promote. Of course, these cartoons sent to the island country are directly printed by the printing plant of the island country branch. Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has established a branch in the island country, as well as a printing factory. The comics sold in the island country have been dailyized by the company''s translators, and there will be no situations that readers cannot understand. The fanfare of "Friends Manke" in the island country is naturally seen by the island country''s comics industry. However, in the comics industry, people in island countries have a lot of self-confidence. Compared with the markets in island countries, the comic market in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia is like a remote country. Large-scale comic clubs such as Xiaoxueguan, Jiyingsha, Baiquansha, etc., did not take Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. into consideration. Now a young man from the countryside does not know how high the world is, and spends a huge amount of money to make a breakthrough in the island country''s comics industry. This thought and behavior makes them feel ridiculous. Really think that the island country comic industry is so easy to enter? Many businessmen from their American fathers have coveted the island comic market, but not all have failed! Even American fathers can''t rush into their market, and people in their places will naturally not be regarded by them. As for the big country on the opposite side, they admitted that they had learned from the big country on the opposite side 10 or 20 years ago But after a decade or two of development, the island country¡¯s comics industry has undergone earth-shaking changes long ago, and the opposite country The animation industry is declining, and it can''t be spread abroad. This situation has caused the island country¡¯s comics industry to despise the comics industry of other countries and regions. So for the actions of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., they basically have the mentality of watching jokes. Just waiting for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to exit! Are the facts as they think? If Xia Yu knew the general idea of ??the island country''s comics industry, he would sneer again and again! The vigorous and vigorous free delivery operation of the comic magazine "Zhiyin Manke" lasted for a week before it ended. When the results were calculated, the entire company was a sensation! The number of deliveries can definitely apply for the Guinness World Records! The number has reached... Chapter 226: Acquisition of "Nanyang Commercial Daily" (4000 words A total of 1.83 million copies were given away! Among them, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have sent a total of 670,000 copies, island countries have sent 400,000 copies, and Southeast Asian countries have sent a total of 760,000 copies. In fact, this amount is already considered small. After all, the daily sales of Fengyun Daily are 830,000 copies. If everyone buys a newspaper, he will receive one copy. After seven days, this alone will be enough to send out more than five million copies. However, Xia Yu had considered this a long time ago, so the purchase of "Fengyun Daily" to lead the "Military Manke" magazine is only limited to the first day. Afterwards, if you want a comic magazine, you can only go to major bookstores to collect it. However, if Xia Yu did not limit it, there would be a dilemma that there were no comics to send. After all, there were more than five million copies, and he would not be able to print it in seven days! Unless all the business of the company is stopped and the production capacity is used to print "Zhiyin Manke", this quantity can barely be completed. However, the number of 1.83 million copies is also a shocking number! At the beginning, Ma Tengdong did not expect that the initial one million comics would be so unpublished. When the statistics on the first day came into his hands, he knew that these million copies were definitely not enough to send. So Ma Tengdong immediately asked Xia Yu for instructions, and Xia Yu directly waved his hand to make Ma Tengdong release his seal. Since I was planning to bleed heavily, and a million copies were printed, I didn''t care about more. And the more you send now, the more customers will be converted then, and sooner or later you will earn this money back. So this week, every day in printing, and then step up delivery. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have given away 670,000 copies in total. This amount is not surprising. After all, the three places have a population of nearly 30 million. Adults who bought "Fengyun Daily" can get another copy for free, while students don''t want anything at all. Just send it for free, and the distributor will send it on a mission. Southeast Asian countries have also sent out 760,000 copies, which is reasonable. The total number of Chinese in various countries is tens of millions. With other populations of 5.6 billion, there are naturally more students than Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Although you may not be able to read the text in the comics, the comics can be read after all, and you can still understand some of them. Therefore, distributors in Southeast Asian countries still send comics to students of other races. Anyway, they don¡¯t need their money. If they can Attract one and earn. The island country can send out 400,000 copies. This data is worthy of Xia Yu¡¯s money. Although this number is the least, it is also the least watery. After all, they are all targeted at students and comic lovers. There is basically no purchase. "Fengyun Daily" free of charge. In addition, the economic level and consumption capacity of the island countries are the highest, so Xia Yu is looking forward to how many readers will be left in the second issue! ... In the meeting room of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., sitting all the middle and high level of the company, there should be more than 20 people at a glance. "Good job!" Xia Yu praised everyone with a smile. Hearing the boss''s praise, everyone present couldn''t help but cheer. "Of course, we can''t be proud. Everyone should know that this number is too watery. Many people are curious or don¡¯t want to go to comics. Even you have secretly investigated. Many bookstore owners see the door. Whoever sends it." After everyone was happy for a while, Xia Yu''s smile faded and began to pour cold water. Everyone slowly calmed down, and many people nodded in agreement, including Ma Tengdong. It was he who led the unannounced visit team to investigate everywhere, found this problem, and promptly reported to the boss Xia Yu. But Xia Yu really doesn¡¯t care about the money, so he should spend money to buy a customer. As long as he gives out fifty free copies to keep a customer, Xia Yu makes money. The bookstore owner will give it away, at least he will give it away. People who enter the store to buy books are also considered potential customers of "Milk Manke". Whether they can successfully retain them, they can only rely on fate. "The most important thing is the next week, which is the seven days from tomorrow. The number of sales in the next week is the most critical!" "Have my money been squandered? Have your efforts been in vain? The sales volume next week is the proof!" Xia Yu glanced across their faces like a torch, and saw that everyone had stopped the waist, he said solemnly. Everyone nodded heavily. "Tengdong, report on the preparations!" Seeing everyone listening, Xia Yu''s face eased, and he looked at Ma Tengdong sitting on the left hand side and said softly. "Ok!" Ma Tengdong nodded in response, and then began to report. "This week, we gave out 1.83 million copies for free, of which 1.5 million copies were sent out in the first four days. At that time, we chose a conversion rate of 5 to 1, and initially estimated that the second phase sold 300,000 copies. " "Then under the boss''s correction, the quantity was revised, and 400,000 copies were printed in the second issue." "In fact, the major distributors have no bottom in their hearts, so they are very cautious and dare not place orders in large quantities. So so far, the total order has reached 320,000. These orders have been delivered by the distributors. Now they are in the warehouse. There are 80,000 copies left in inventory." "Our main printing plant and the sub-printing plants in various regions add up to a maximum production capacity of 250,000 copies per day, and arrangements have been made so that only the data can be collected in a timely manner, and it will be able to print in time, and there will be no out of stock." "The above is our preparation." Finally, Ma Tengdong thought of Xia Yu and said, Xia Yu nodded towards him. "You have listened to the situation. I know that this week, everyone is very busy and has been working overtime at night, but the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, they still have to work overtime on Saturday and Sunday, so it is very hard." Xia Yu said with some emotion, and glanced at everyone, everyone immediately shook their heads, saying that he was not working hard, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. "Zhiyin Manke" is officially released every Friday to fit the students'' vacation time. "But I see all of this in my eyes. Many of you should have heard about Jiuding Newspaper Company. I am not stingy, so the bonus will never be less. As for how much you can get, it depends on your ability. Up." At the end, Xia Yu smiled and stretched the ending sound, which seemed meaningful. Everyone here couldn''t help but smile. Many people had been working overtime and were exhausted, but now they can''t help but feel refreshed. Now that the boss directly released these words at the meeting, then naturally he would not cheat. And some people have indeed heard about Jiuding Newspaper Company. The boss Xia Yu paid out bonuses in a generous amount, but many people talked about it and envied it. It seems to work harder in the future! Many people secretly made up their minds. "Okay, the meeting is here, you all perform your duties, and you must not lose the chain!" After finishing the summary, Xia Yu announced the adjournment of the meeting and rushed to Jiuding Newspaper Company. The plan he asked Yan Wenhan to execute has finally made a breakthrough. Sitting in the car, Xia Yu leaned back on his back, closed his eyes and rested, rubbing his temples with his hands from time to time. This week, he was really busy and several companies ran back and forth. The four major companies, except that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is on the right track, performing investment tasks step by step, and does not require him to bother. The other three companies are in a critical period, either expanding in large strides, or just breaking out. Therefore, he needs to always pay attention to control. Fortunately, Jiuding Book Publishing Company and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. are in the same building, which saves him a lot of roads. "It seems that there must be a special secretary''s office and two special telephones. In the future, the secretary''s office will help me summarize any internal and external affairs, and arrange the specific itinerary according to the urgency." Xia Yu thought secretly. The secretary room must be established as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to leave Xiangjiang behind, and he will not be able to get out of it. And now there are just so many things in the four companies, and there will definitely be more and more companies behind, and he will not be even more busy by then. After making up his mind, he stopped thinking about it any more, but thought about something comfortable. This week, especially because of the first day, you only need to buy a copy of Fengyun Daily, and you can get a free copy of "Milky Manke" comic magazine worth three Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, many people are greedy for petty and cheap, and in order to receive a comic book of "Military Manke", they buy an extra copy of "Fengyun Daily". Therefore, on the first day, the sales of Fengyun Daily skyrocketed from 830,000 copies to 930,000 copies, which directly increased the sales of 100,000 copies. But after all, many people bought the "Fengyun Daily" with a greedy attitude, so on the next day, the sales of "Fengyun Daily" fell back to 860,000 copies. The next few days also fluctuated in the range of 860,000 copies. Today, it has finally stabilized. But despite this, Xia Yu was also very happy. After all, at this level of sales, it is difficult to increase every 10,000 copies. With the help of this marketing opportunity, the daily sales of Fengyun Daily rose by 30,000 copies, which was considered a success. One hundred thousand new readers left about thirty thousand, which is not a small proportion. Soon, the car heard the door of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and Xia Yu walked in with Yan Shining. "Wenhan, what''s the situation?" After entering the company and finding Yan Wenhan who was in the office, Xia Yu asked with a smile. "Boss, you see, the agreement has been signed. After more than a month of negotiations, 100% of the shares have finally been acquired." Yan Wenhan opened the drawer and gave Xia Yu the paper bag he had prepared. The smile on his face could not be concealed. After all, starting today, the Jiuding newspaper company he manages has one more member, and it is still an old newspaper with a long history. As the general manager of the company, how can he be unhappy? He is happy every time he grows! This is more than that, there will be members coming in for a while, how unhappy he is! "Then I have to take a good look." Xia Yu smiled and took the paper bag, then sat at the table and opened it, took out the agreement inside, and looked at it seriously. Sure enough, it was a wholly-owned acquisition, costing a total of 12 million Hong Kong dollars. It was the Nanyang Commercial Daily that was acquired, and the entire newspaper company bought it together. This was agreed by Xia Yu. After all, when huge amounts of funds are involved, Yan Wenhan needs to consult Xia Yu first, and only after Xia Yu''s signature and stamp can it be released through finance. Now that he saw the equity transfer agreement, Xia Yu was completely relieved. In Malaysia, there are four major local Chinese newspapers, namely "Nanyang Commercial Daily", "China Daily", "Sin Chew Daily" and "Guangming Daily". Among them, "Nanyang Commercial Daily" and "Sin Chew Daily" are not only published in Malaysia, but also in Singapore and Brunei. The "Nanyang Commercial Daily", which was wholly-owned this time, also took a lot of effort. It took nearly 20 days from the time the plan was put forward to the completion of the acquisition. "Nanyang Commercial Daily" is not easy! "Nanyang Business Daily" was founded in Singapore on September 6, 1923 by Singaporean Yin Shang and the late famous patriotic overseas Chinese Mr. Tan Jiageng. It is one of the oldest Chinese newspapers in Malaysia and one of the mainstream media in Malaysia. After the "Lugou Bridge Incident" in 1937, Nanyang Commercial Daily became a strong cultural position in the anti-Japanese war. It was temporarily suspended until the Japanese invasion of Japan in 1942, for three years and seven months, and resumed publication after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945. The Nanyang Commercial Daily¡¯s position was pro-Communist, but in 1971, when Singapore¡¯s prime minister, Li Guangyao, who was extremely pro-American and anti-China, condemned the "Nanyang Commercial Daily"¡¯s pro-communist position, then the Singapore government launched a "black Action", arrested "Nanyang Business Daily" general manager Li Maocheng, editor-in-chief Tong Daozhang, chief writer Li Kexing, public relations manager Guo Longsheng and others. That time was a turning point. As Mr. Chen passed away, the shares of Nanyang Press Holdings Co., Ltd. were also dispersed in the hands of many Chinese businessmen. Under pressure from the Singapore government, Nanyang Business Daily had to change its position. , Has now become neutral and no longer blatantly kiss the communists. Now, the daily sales volume of Nanyang Commercial Daily is around 110,000 copies. If Xia Yu does not acquire this time, according to historical development, Nanyang Business Daily will merge with the Sin Chew Daily, one of the four major Chinese newspapers, in 1983, and then the two companies will jointly publish the Nanyang Sin Chew Lianhe Zaobao ", referred to as "Lianhe Zaobao". However, since it was acquired by Jiuding Newspaper in this life, there is no need to rely on mergers to expand its influence. With the support of Jiuding News Agency with strong editing and editing capabilities, the local influence of "Nanyang Business Daily" itself is not bad, coupled with the strong distribution channels of Jiuding Newspaper Company Nanyang Business Daily, the prospects are absolutely bright ! In the next period of time, Yan Wenhan will go to Malaysia in person to integrate "Nanyang Business Daily" into Jiuding Newspaper Company. After the rectification, it will be time for an outbreak! The acquisition of Nanyang Business Daily is only one part of the plan, and there will be a series of big moves next. There is only one purpose, and that is to make Jiuding Newspaper Company, which has begun to stabilize its foundation, begin to leapfrog development. After all, in the final analysis, for other countries, both "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" are foreign newspapers, not to mention the basics, and they are also vulnerable to joint targeting by local paper media. So the best way is to buy local newspapers, so that the influence of Jiuding Newspaper Company can quickly sink. With local allies, "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" can expand their influence with peace of mind. In addition to developing itself, this plan also involves some calculations, that is, to photograph the "Sing Tao Daily", which is now restless and focused on fighting the rule of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Chapter 227: "Everyday Daily" is coming soon The plan he asked Yan Wenhan to execute has finally made a breakthrough. Sitting in the car, Xia Yu leaned back on his back, closed his eyes and rested, rubbing his temples with his hands from time to time. This week, he was really busy and several companies ran back and forth. The four major companies, except that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is on the right track, performing investment tasks step by step, and does not require him to bother. The other three companies are in a critical period, either expanding in large strides, or just breaking out. Therefore, he needs to always pay attention to control.

"It seems that there must be a special secretary''s office and two special telephones. In the future, the secretary''s office will help me summarize any internal and external affairs, and arrange the specific itinerary according to the urgency." Xia Yu thought secretly. The secretary room must be established as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to leave Xiangjiang behind, and he will not be able to get out of it. And now there are just so many things in the four companies, and there will definitely be more and more companies behind, and he will not be even more busy by then. After making up his mind, he stopped thinking about it any more, but thought about something comfortable. This week, especially because of the first day, you only need to buy a copy of Fengyun Daily, and you can get a free copy of "Milky Manke" comic magazine worth three Hong Kong dollars.

"Then I have to take a good look." Xia Yu smiled and took the paper bag, then sat at the table and opened it, took out the agreement inside, and looked at it seriously. Sure enough, it was a wholly-owned acquisition, costing a total of 12 million Hong Kong dollars. It was the Nanyang Commercial Daily that was acquired, and the entire newspaper company bought it together. This was agreed by Xia Yu. After all, when huge amounts of funds are involved, Yan Wenhan needs to consult Xia Yu first, and only after Xia Yu''s signature and stamp can it be released through finance. Now that he saw the equity transfer agreement, Xia Yu was completely relieved. In Malaysia, there are four major local Chinese newspapers, namely "Nanyang Commercial Daily", "China Daily", "Sin Chew Daily" and "Guangming Daily". Among them, "Nanyang Commercial Daily" and "Sin Chew Daily" are not only published in Malaysia, but also in Singapore and Brunei. The "Nanyang Commercial Daily", which was wholly-owned this time, also took a lot of effort. It took nearly 20 days from the time the plan was put forward to the completion of the acquisition. "Nanyang Commercial Daily" is not easy! "Nanyang Commercial Daily" was founded in Singapore on September 6, 1923 by Singaporean Yin Shang and the late famous patriotic overseas Chinese Tan Kah Kee. It is one of the oldest Chinese newspapers in Malaysia and one of the mainstream media in Malaysia. After the "Lugou Bridge Incident" in 1937, Nanyang Commercial Daily became a strong cultural position in the anti-Japanese war. It was temporarily suspended until the Japanese invasion of Japan in 1942, for three years and seven months, and resumed publication after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945. The Nanyang Commercial Daily¡¯s position was pro-Communist, but in 1971, when Singapore¡¯s prime minister, Li Guangyao, who was extremely pro-American and anti-China, condemned the "Nanyang Commercial Daily"¡¯s pro-communist position, then the Singapore government launched a "black Action", arrested "Nanyang Business Daily" general manager Li Maocheng, editor-in-chief Tong Daozhang, chief writer Li Kexing, public relations manager Guo Longsheng and others. That time was a turning point. As Mr. Chen passed away long ago, the shares of Nanyang Press Holdings Co., Ltd. were also dispersed in the hands of many Chinese businessmen. Under pressure from the Singaporean government, Nanyang Business Daily had to change its position. , Has now become neutral and no longer blatantly kiss the communists. Now, the daily sales volume of Nanyang Commercial Daily is around 110,000 copies. If Xia Yu does not acquire this time, according to historical development, Nanyang Commercial Daily will merge with Sin Chew Daily, one of the four major Chinese newspapers in 1983 ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and then the two companies will jointly publish " Nanyang Sin Chew Lianhe Zaobao", referred to as "Lianhe Zaobao". However, since it was acquired by Jiuding Newspaper in this life, there is naturally no need to rely on mergers to expand its influence. With the support of Jiuding News Agency with strong editing and editing capabilities, the local influence of "Nanyang Business Daily" itself is not bad, coupled with the strong distribution channels of Jiuding Newspaper Company, the prospect of "Nanyang Business Daily" is absolutely bright! In the next period of time, Yan Wenhan will go to Malaysia in person to integrate "Nanyang Business Daily" into Jiuding Newspaper Company. After the rectification, it will be time for an outbreak! The acquisition of Nanyang Business Daily is only one part of the plan, and there will be a series of big moves next. There is only one purpose, and that is to make Jiuding Newspaper Company, which has begun to stabilize its foundation, begin to leapfrog development. After all, in the final analysis, for other countries, both "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" are foreign newspapers, not to mention the basics, they are also vulnerable to the joint targeting of local paper media. So the best way is to buy local newspapers, so that the influence of Jiuding Newspaper Company can quickly sink. Chapter 228: Another important acquisition target "The acquisition of another "Sin Chew Daily" is also coming to an end. I plan to go to Singapore tomorrow to integrate the "Nanyang Business Daily". By the way, the acquisition of "Sin Chew Daily" is also negotiated." "The circulation of "Sin Chew Daily" is 100,000 copies, which is 10,000 copies lower than that of "Nanyang Commercial Daily". Now the price has reached 11.5 million Hong Kong dollars. I estimate that 11 million can be bought." "If there is no accident halfway, the acquisition can be successful in up to five days!" Yan Wenhanhui reports. Xia Yu smiled and praised: "Good job!" "As long as the "Sin Chew Daily" is acquired, we will be able to account for half of the four major Chinese newspapers in Malaysia. In addition to the market share of our "Fengyun Daily" and "Jiuding Daily", the share of Chinese newspapers will be It can exceed 50% and form a preliminary monopoly!" Yan Wenhan also laughed when he heard the boss Xia Yu''s words. And it''s not just as simple as Xia Yu said. The Sin Chew Daily was founded in 1929 and is positioned as a social service for the Chinese in Malaysia. From the British colonial era, the anti-Japanese period, the independence movement, and the journey after the founding of the country, Sin Chew Daily played the role of witness and participant. It can be said that the "Sin Chew Daily" has a very strong foundation and a solid foundation. The Sin Chew Daily is one of the four major Chinese newspapers in Malaysia, like the Nanyang Commercial Daily. Although the circulation is only 100,000 copies, consider that the Chinese population in Malaysia is similar to the Chinese population in Hong Kong and Macau. Malaysia has a large land area and a scattered population compared to Xiangjiang, so the daily sales volume of 100,000 copies is already very strong. In addition to being one of the four largest Chinese newspapers in Malaysia, Sin Chew Daily is also one of the two largest Chinese newspapers in Singapore. The other is the "Nanyang Commercial Daily" that has been acquired by Jiuding Newspaper Company! Therefore, as long as "Sin Chew Daily" is acquired again, Jiuding News will not only account for more than 50% of Malaysian Chinese newspapers, but also monopolize Singapore''s Chinese newspaper industry. The benefits are enormous! In fact, there are historical reasons why the two Chinese newspapers in Singapore are also the second of the four major Chinese newspapers in Malaysia. Because Singapore belonged to Malaysia for a while! The Republic of Singapore, referred to as Singapore, was formerly known as Singapore, Singapore, Singapore, or Sing Tao, also known as the Lion City. It is an island country in Southeast Asia. Its political system is a parliamentary republic. It was occupied by Britain as a colony in the early 19th century. On February 15, 1942, Singapore was occupied by Japan. Singapore joined Malaysia in 1963. But in 1965, Singapore gained support from the United Kingdom and the United States, and officially became independent. After all, Singapore is related to the lifeline of Asia and Europe, and even the lifeline of the world-the Strait of Malacca. Of course, Europe and the United States must be in control. In addition to political and historical reasons, Singapore is also adjacent to and surrounded by Malaysia geographically. In terms of population, Chinese accounted for more than 74%, the remaining Malays accounted for 13%, and 9% of Indians. For these reasons, the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia is very complicated. As we all know, in Southeast Asia, the Chinese are at the top of capital, and Singapore will be the financial and economic center of the entire Southeast Asia. Therefore, being able to monopolize Singapore¡¯s Chinese newspapers is of great benefit to Xia Yu! Controlling the power of public opinion, at least when communicating with major Chinese families in Southeast Asia, they have a certain right to speak and their status can be improved a lot. So for "Sin Chew Daily", Xia Yu is determined to win! "The boss can rest assured, I will definitely check strictly to make the acquisition successful!" Yan Wenhan firmly said that the acquisition of "Sing Chew Daily" has also greatly improved the influence of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Of course, he is not willing to fail. "How is the progress of the acquisition of the South China Morning Post?" After understanding the acquisition of "Sin Chew Daily", Xia Yu was in a good mood, but he has not yet relaxed, because the most important plan is to acquire the "South China Morning Post"! At this time in Hong Kong, the top three English newspapers were the South China Morning Post, the English Standard and the Asian Wall Street Journal. Among them, the South China Morning Post has the highest sales volume, with a daily sales volume of 110,000 copies. It was founded in 1903. It mainly provides authoritative business and financial analysis. It is the most influential English-language newspaper in Southeast Asia. Its readers are high-level political and business people. Lord, is a high-end newspaper. The South China Morning Post was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November 1971. If it develops in accordance with history, it will be privatized by the media tycoon Murdoch''s News Corporation in 1987. Then in 1993, it was controlled by Malaysia¡¯s richest man, Kuo Henian, but in December 2015, it was acquired by Alibaba Group, which is determined to build a large media system. The second "English Standard", also called "Xiangjiang Tiger", is one of the newspapers under Sing Tao News Corporation. It was founded in March 1949 and funded by Hu Wenhu. The "Tiger News" took Hu Wenhu''s "tiger", and its daily sales volume is about 100,000 copies. It can also be seen from this point that before Jiuding News Corporation appeared, Sing Tao News Group was indeed the media company with the most comprehensive strength in the paper media industry. Ranked third, the "Asian Wall Street Journal", which sells 90,000 copies a day, has an extraordinary origin! The Asian Wall Street Journal was founded in 1976, and it has only been two years now. However, the daily sales volume has reached the third position of English newspapers, and the momentum of progress is still strong. In fact, you can guess some details by looking at its name. The Asian Wall Street Journal is a financial newspaper aimed at Asian readers and belongs to Dow Jones. Founded in 1882, Dow Jones owns the Wall Street Journal, which provides in-depth analysis and reporting on business and finance, the Dow Jones News Agency, which provides real-time financial reports and market reviews, and the well-known investment publication Barron Magazine. Among them, the "Wall Street Journal" is one of the oldest newspapers in the United States. It has the second largest circulation in the country and has a daily sales volume of more than two million copies. It is a must-read for business professionals in the United States and the world. A few years ago, Dow Jones keenly discovered that the Asian economy was about to rise, so it established a separate newspaper to expand its influence. Therefore, backed by Dow Jones, which has strong financial resources and strong professional strength, the development prospects of the "Asian Wall Street Journal" are very good. Now the South China Morning Post and the second-ranked "English Standard" are extremely vigilant. Having said that, the influence of Xia Yu''s Jiuding Newspaper Company is already amazing, but in the paper media industry, there is still a lack of a handy English newspaper. Now that Xia Yu has money, he chooses a faster and more convenient acquisition. Of the three major newspapers, the South China Morning Post is most likely to be acquired. "English Standard" is owned by Sing Tao News Group. Now Sing Tao News Group is determined to catch up with Jiuding News. The two can be described as competitors. Hu Xian is only brain-disabled to sell "English Standard" to Xia Yulai. Enemy. Therefore, Xia Yu didn''t even think about the acquisition of the "English Standard" before Hu Xian''s desire to compete was completely impossible. The Asian Wall Street Journal is even more unlikely to be acquired. Dow Jones is much stronger than Jiuding Newspapers. How could you sell the "Asian Wall Street Journal" with the strategic mission of opening up the territory for a little money? It is precisely because of these considerations Xia Yu set his goal on the South China Morning Post from the beginning. Moreover, buying the top-selling "South China Morning Post" is also more in line with the status of Jiuding Newspaper Company. If you want to do it, be the first! Furthermore, the "South China Morning Post" has overwhelmed Sing Tao News Group''s "English Standard", and Jiuding News Group''s "Jiu Ding Daily" and "Feng Yun Daily" have overwhelmed Sing Tao News Group''s "Sing Tao Daily". Now, in the area of ??English newspapers, Jiuding Newspaper Company naturally cannot lose its momentum. So no matter what kind of consideration, "South China Morning Post" is the most suitable target for acquisition! However, looking at Yan Wenhan''s expression, it seems that the progress of the acquisition of the South China Morning Post is not going well. "What''s the situation, just say it, and solve the problem." Seeing Yan Wenhan embarrassed, Xia Yu smiled to relieve Yan Wenhan''s pressure. Yan Wenhan nodded, whispering... Chapter 229: Find Shen Bi again "Boss, because the "South China Morning Post" company is already listed, it is very difficult to acquire. If you are not careful, it is easy to leak information, causing trouble to our acquisition plan, and even causing the plan to go bankrupt." "So for the sake of caution, I first started investigating the ownership of the South China Morning Post, as well as the situation of shareholders and the difficulty of the acquisition. There was a detailed result just yesterday." "The largest shareholder of the South China Morning Post is HSBC, which owns 32% of the shares and serves as the controlling shareholder." "The second shareholder is the Carey family, holding 10.8%." "The third shareholder is the Edmond family, holding 9.5%." "Except for the top three shareholders, the following shareholders hold relatively small shares. The fourth to tenth shareholders together hold 11.6% of the shares." "The remaining 36.1% of the equity is scattered in the stock market. The total market value of the South China Morning Post is only about 10.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The price is so low mainly because of the influence of the Asian Wall Street Journal. The market''s confidence in the South China Morning Post is somewhat low. ." "But I found a problem, that is, the Carey family and the Edmond family are one of the constituent families of the Jardine Consortium. They are closely united with the Keswick family. Our relationship with the British capital is relatively poor, so the acquisition It''s too difficult to hit a question mark." "Boss, this is the situation." After speaking, Yan Wenhan looked at Xia Yu, hoping that he would make up his mind. Xia Yu frowned slightly and his brain turned at a high speed. He didn''t expect this to be the case with the equity of the South China Morning Post. It is obviously a Chinese-run newspaper, and now the equity is concentrated in the hands of the British. It is hard to imagine what happened before. Since this is the case, Yan Wenhan''s caution is not unreasonable. His relationship with British capital is indeed very poor, not to mention the Qingzhou Yingni Company''s affairs. From the development of the company during this period, we can see signs of development. Almost all companies that come to the newspapers or magazines of Jiuding Newspaper to advertise in the newspapers or magazines are Chinese-funded companies, and few British-funded companies come. Moreover, when a senior official of the Hong Kong government chatted with Xia Yu, he also revealed something. The senior officials representing the interests of the British consortium were not friendly to Jiuding Company and Xia Yu, which can reflect some things. . However, the industries Xia Yu is currently involved in are the media, comics, publishing and securities industries, while the British consortium is mainly involved in large industries and various industries involving people''s livelihoods. The only estimate that overlaps with Xia Yu is the media and securities industries. However, in the media industry, that is, the paper media industry that Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. is involved in, British-funded consortia rarely get involved, and they are mainly Chinese-owned. Another Jiuding Newspaper Company is too strong, so Xia Yu can hardly be used in business unless Xia Yu is moved from the government level. But this is not realistic. The media industry is too special and sensitive, and the threat is too great. Without a good excuse to kill Jiuding Newspaper Company, it will definitely face a frantic counterattack. Another securities industry, it is even less likely to have a violent conflict with Xia Yu, unless the British consortium is flooded. Therefore, because of these objective reasons, the contradiction between Xia Yu and the British consortium was not clear, but Xia Yu was tacitly resisted and suppressed by the British capital. The most important point is that Xia Yu heard that the first heir of the Keswick family, the core family of the Jardine Consortium, once expressed dissatisfaction with Xia Yu at a British gathering, and his attitude was not friendly. The Carey family and the Edmond family are also two small families in the Jardine Consortium. If they learn that Xia Yu¡¯s company wants to acquire the South China Morning Post, it is very likely that they will refuse or even cause Xia Yu Hinder. After all, the "South China Morning Post" is worth about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and more than 20% of the equity is more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars. For the Jardine Consortium, it is a small amount of money, and it is not worth it. So it is very likely that he will not sit back and watch Xia Yu grow again. "This has to be guarded. You did the right thing. You didn''t risk the acquisition." "But since you have investigated it clearly, there is a solution to it." After thinking for a while, Xia Yu thought of a way, and his brows stretched out. Hearing what Xia Yu said, Yan Wenhan lifted his spirits and looked at Xia Yu expectantly. "There are also 36.1% scattered outside, so the scattered stocks, I will arrange for Jiuding Securities to buy secretly." "I''ll go to Shen Bi from HSBC. I think he will sell my face. It is not convenient for us to come forward, but we can ask HSBC to help us buy it. It shouldn''t be difficult." "When our equity exceeds 75%, we will be forced to delist. If others are smart, they will definitely sell us the stock." "So, for the acquisition of the South China Morning Post, I will first go to HSBC, and after reaching the intention, you will be responsible for taking over." Xia Yu said slowly, and then directly decided. "Ok!" Yan Wenhan said lightly, since the boss will come out in person, with his connections, there should be no problems, so he can rest assured. Later, Xia Yu first made an appointment with HSBC and learned that Shen Bi had time in the afternoon to receive Xia Yu at the HSBC headquarters. In the afternoon, seeing that it was almost time, Xia Yu went to HSBC and followed the reception staff to Shen Bi''s office, where Shen Bi had already made tea and waited. "Shen Sheng, good afternoon!" Xia Yu smiled and quickened his pace, and walked to Shen Bi to shake hands with him. "Good afternoon, Xia Sheng, welcome to you." Shen Bi showed a kind smile, shook hands with Xia Yu, and then made a please gesture, Xia Yu sat down. After three rounds of tea, Xia Yu put down his teacup and prepared to talk about business. Shen Bi moved inwardly, knowing that the business was coming, and gently put down the teacup, leaning forward slightly. "Shen Sheng, I am here this time to discuss some business with your company." "The first intention is to borrow a sum of money." Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing that it turned out to be a loan, Shen Bi''s face was bright, and Xia Yu finally came to him for a loan, which is really rare! He said loudly: "It''s okay, I don''t know how much you need to borrow?" "I am going to borrow 20 million Hong Kong dollars, UU Reading will use the name of Jiuding Newspaper Company to make a loan." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Shen Bi''s eyes lit up and his smile became brighter. He directly agreed: "No problem, you can release it today." Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Newspaper Company can be said to be a gem. Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s bank account was opened with HSBC. Shen Bi knows how much money there is. Moreover, because of the explosive growth of Jiuding Newspaper Company, HSBC has increased its creditworthiness. Now Jiuding Newspaper Company wants to borrow 20 million Hong Kong dollars. It couldn''t be easier. Shen Bi regrets it. Xia Yu did not lend a little more. As for why Jiuding Newspaper Company, which has developed such a well-developed newspaper, needs a loan, Shen Bi didn¡¯t even ask about it. It was not necessary at all. He also only loaned 20 million yuan. Even one-tenth of Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s assets is not as good as that. To show his atmosphere, Bo Xiayu''s goodwill. "Then thank you Shen Sheng." Xia Yu showed a touch of gratitude and nodded towards Shen Bi. Chapter 230: "Sin Chew Daily" is here "My second intention is to ask HSBC to help me acquire shares in the South China Morning Post." Then, Xia Yu said about the second purpose, which is also a business. It is necessary to pay a certain commission for the bank to assist in the acquisition. Presumably Shen Bi will not refuse. Sure enough, Shen Bi said without hesitation: "No problem, HSBC will definitely be able to do it." Xia Yu came to send money to HSBC, and Shen Bi naturally accepted it without hesitation. As for the acquisition, will it be difficult? Shen Bi can confidently say that in Hong Kong, if HSBC is unable to help acquire a company, it is even more difficult for others to do so. This is HSBC''s confidence as the super king of Hong Kong Finance. "Xia Sheng, apart from that, do you have other needs?" When Shen Bi was in a good mood, seeing Xia Yu seemed to have something to say, he provoked the topic and wanted to know if Xia Yu had any business. Now that the bait has been given to Shen Bi, it is easy to mention the next thing. With this loan, Shen Bi is also easier to let go. "One more thing, I heard that HSBC has a 32% stake in the South China Morning Post. I hope to buy it." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Shen Bi with bright eyes. Hearing Xia Yu''s words and looking at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, Shen Bi''s eyes flashed with a gleam, and his smile slowly faded. He said how Xia Yu, who is not short of money, would be able to take a good loan. At first, he thought it was a lack of funds for the acquisition, and also wanted to use HSBC''s energy to complete the acquisition. But now it seems that wanting a 32% stake in HSBC is the real goal. There are too many companies that HSBC holds. Shen Bi can¡¯t remember them all, especially small companies like the South China Morning Post, so he didn¡¯t know that HSBC had 32% of the shares in the South China Morning Post. But since Xia Yu said so, there must be some, and Xia Yu must have investigated it clearly. Now that Xia Yu wants to buy the South China Morning Post, HSBC is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. If HSBC does not sell, then even if Xia Yu acquires the remaining 68% of the shares, he still cannot force delisting. There is no way to privatize. Thinking about it this way, Xia Yu first threw two baits, just to get him to agree to sell him 32% of HSBC''s shares. Shen Bi guessed in his mind that if he didn''t agree to sell to Xia Yu, then the first and second business that had been negotiated before would most likely be over. Thinking of this, Shen Bi smiled in his heart, and Xia Yu had worked hard to successfully acquire the South China Morning Post. Of course, because Shen Bi did not know the composition of the shares of the South China Morning Post, he did not guess that Xia Yu¡¯s other intention was to use HSBC¡¯s help in the acquisition. This was something that Shen Bi did not expect. In his mind, I thought that Xia Yu asked HSBC for help in the acquisition to get HSBC to sell shares. But even if he guessed Xia Yu¡¯s plan, Shen Bi didn¡¯t want to knock Xia Yu. There is no need, and the South China Morning Post is not a big company. If he doesn¡¯t believe in buying the South China Morning Post, Jiuding News will There are so many losses, so I cannot offend Xia Yu for this. Besides, it is useless to hold the South China Morning Post in the hands of HSBC. It is better to sell him personal favors. Thinking of this, Shen Bi looked at Xia Yu with piercing eyes and said with a smile: "No problem, I promised." "Thank you Shen Chengquan!" Xia Yu said gratefully, and then stretched out his hand to Shen Bi. Shen Bi also naturally stretched out his hand and shook Xia Yu''s hand to show his intention to cooperate. "It should be me thanking Xia Sheng for giving HSBC business, haha!" Shen Bi said with a smile, the sedan chair people carry people, and holding people is the least costly, so naturally it will be better. "Shen Sheng, my company is still going on, so I won''t bother you any more. I will ask Yan Wenhan, the general manager of Jiuding Newspaper Company, to come over later, and please arrange for a subordinate to talk to him." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the cup again, drank the tea in the cup, and stood up. Shen Bi¡¯s time is precious and he doesn¡¯t understand the situation of the South China Morning Post. It is naturally impossible to negotiate with Xia Yu. It is best to leave this kind of matter to their respective subordinates. As the helms of their respective companies, they only need to set the general direction. That''s it. "Xia Sheng, I''ll give it to you!" "Thank you!" ... After leaving HSBC, Xia Yu immediately returned to Jiuding Newspaper Company, informed Yan Wenhan, who had been waiting for a long time, about the situation of the talks, and then after explaining the matters needing attention in the negotiation, he let Yan Wenhan go to HSBC. And Xia Yu did not stay long and drove to Jiuding Securities Company. He needed to arrange for someone to buy shares in the South China Morning Post on the stock market. After coming to Jiuding Securities, amidst the greetings from the employees, Xia Yu found Wang Qi who was analyzing the stock market at the Securities Research Center. "Boss, you are here!" Wang Qi talked to the people inside, and hurried to Xia Yu and said respectfully. Xia Yu nodded lightly, and then went straight to the subject: "Give you a task to buy the shares of the South China Morning Post in the stock market, and then transfer it to Jiuding Newspaper Company. How much money has been spent, Yan Wenhan will call you over. ." "Ok!" Wang Qi immediately responded. After receiving Xia Yu''s order, Wang Qi immediately took action. As for Yan Wenhan, who went to HSBC for negotiations, since the cooperation intention has been set and Xia Yu''s order has been obtained, the price can be relaxed and he will directly open a 20% premium to purchase HSBC''s stock. And Shen Bi also valued the relationship with Xia Yu more, so he also said something to his subordinates, which led to the negotiation in the afternoon that was almost peaceful. He agreed to a 20% premium and 32% of the stock was valued at 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars. The promised loan of 20 million Hong Kong dollars was also released immediately after the negotiation, and HSBC quickly arranged for someone to purchase shares in the hands of other shareholders. Except for the acquisition of South China Morning Post on the right track, Yan Wenhan did not take a break that night, but completed the acquisition of Tiantian Daily. After the acquisition of "Tian Tian Daily", Yan Wenhan directly arranged the rectification and takeover of the matter to a subordinate, because he would fly to Singapore the next day to negotiate the acquisition of "Sin Chew Daily". Three days later, Yan Wenhan returned to the company vigorously. After seeing Xia Yu, the smile on his face couldn''t hide. "Boss, I''m back!" Yan Wenhan said with a smile. "Good job! Thank you for your hard work!" Xia Yu patted Yan Wenhan''s hand and said with appreciation, Yan Wenhan''s smile became brighter. "Come on, sit down, and tell me the details." "Okay, boss, this is the situation..." After sitting down, Yan Wenhan began to talk, and couldn''t help but burst into laughter. Xia Yu nodded repeatedly, the admiration on his face undisguised. Although Yan Wenhan had told the general situation on the phone, Xia Yu had a deeper understanding after listening to Yan Wenhan''s specific details. Yan Wenhan did live up to his high expectations After taking over the Nanyang Business Daily, Yan Wenhan quickly invested in the acquisition of Sin Chew Daily. After a series of fierce confrontations, the wholly-owned acquisition of "Sin Chew Daily" was finally completed at a total cost of 11 million Hong Kong dollars. "By the way, boss, the editor-in-chief and president of Nanyang Business Daily and Sin Chew Daily have followed me to Xiangjiang. Now I have been arranged to the Kowloon Hotel. When will you have time to meet them?" After speaking, Yan Wenhan calmed down a bit, thought of the people who followed him, and then asked Xia Yu. "It just so happens that I have time now, go and see them." Xia Yu raised his brows and stood up after speaking. "Okay, you come with me!" After speaking, Yan Wenhan took Xia Yu to the Kowloon Hotel. Chapter 231: Chu Geqi When he arrived at the Kowloon Hotel, Xia Yu met the heads of the two newspapers, Nanyang Commercial Daily and Sin Chew Daily. After getting to know them, he first welcomed them and calmed their emotions. After all, they were just the heads of their respective newspapers. Shares are the decision of their respective bosses. Presumably they were also uneasy at this time, and Xia Yu naturally had to calm down, so as not to cause them to resign later, that would cause him trouble. Later, Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan to take charge. From now on, Nanyang Commercial Daily and Sin Chew Daily were newspapers owned by Jiuding News, and it should be the general manager of Yan Wenhan who should directly manage them. In the next few days, good news came from HSBC. It has acquired shares in the hands of nine other shareholders, totalling 31.9% of the shares, which is extremely efficient. A total of 31.9% of the equity is also resold to Jiuding Newspaper Company of HK$3.9 million, which is equivalent to a 20% premium. As for how much HSBC acquired and how much money it made, Xia Yu can''t control it. On the other hand, Jiuding Securities also acted quite quickly. In a few days, the shares scattered on the stock market were acquired to 21%. Therefore, Jiuding Newspaper already owns 84.9% of the equity, and Xia Yu does not plan to slowly acquire from the stock market, because there are only 15.1% of the stocks circulating in the market. The fewer stocks, the more sensitive the price. The stock price will definitely rise at that time. Therefore, Xia Yu did not hesitate, and directly concentrated all the equity in the hands of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and then announced the completion of absolute control, and at the same time immediately applied to the exchange for delisting and privatization. With such a high equity ratio, there was no surprise. The exchange directly approved Jiuding Newspaper¡¯s application, and the South China Morning Post was suspended on the same day. The news was spread out naturally, and the newspapers were in an uproar in an instant. The South China Morning Post, the number one selling English-language newspaper, has been controlled by Jiuding Newspaper Company, and it is being privatized! Other colleagues, whether it is Ming Pao, Cheng Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal, etc., expressed their shock. And the most uncomfortable was Hu Xian of Sing Tao News Corporation. In the area of ??Chinese newspapers, Jiuding News Company was overwhelmed with breath, and had to take risks and spend huge sums of money to build Sing Tao News Agency in order to make a breakthrough. However, the Sing Tao News Agency had not yet been established, Jiuding Newspaper Company took control of the South China Morning Post, and privatization was about to be completed soon, and its own "English Standard" was overwhelmed by Jiuding Newspaper Company. The news made Hu Xian look ugly to death. However, the more uncomfortable is yet to come. It seems that to join in the fun, I don¡¯t know who revealed to the media that Jiuding News has spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the Malaysian newspaper Nanyang Commercial Daily, 11 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire Sin Chew Daily, 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire Hong Kong mainland The newspaper "Everyday Daily". A series of these pieces of news were exploded, and all the people who followed the incident were dizzy and even numb. Pan Yuesheng, deputy editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, which is responsible for the management and operation of the newspaper, immediately reported the matter to Jin Yong. At that time, the two were silent in the office. It took a long time before Pan Yuesheng sighed weakly: "Tsk, four newspapers, now it can be determined that they have spent 25.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The South China Morning Post will cost at least 11 million Hong Kong dollars. The acquisition cost at least 36 million Hong Kong dollars." "Jiuding Newspaper Company is invincible, and Xia Yu is really generous. In the entire newspaper industry, he is the only one who has such a great skill and ability." Jin Yong also helped his glasses, shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, 36 million Hong Kong dollars, the entire newspaper industry can only be taken out by him. Jiuding Newspaper Company has been alone in seeking defeat, and now it is estimated to be lonely as snow. The younger generation is awesome! The younger generation is awesome!" "Yuesheng, compared with Xia Yu, we have lived as a dog for a long time." Jin Yong said to Pan Yuesheng with a smile, and Pan Yuesheng shook his head with a wry smile. "Lao Cha, Xia Yu is so powerful. It is not us, but the newspaper queen who is most affected. It is estimated that she is absolutely dumbfounded now. She has worked hard to build the Sing Tao News Agency and want to fight against Jiuding Newspaper Company. Now that it hasn¡¯t been built, it will face the encirclement and suppression of Jiuding Newspaper Company.¡± "In Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, business and economic news has been suppressed by the "Jiuding Daily", and the fields of politics, economy and people''s livelihood are facing the impact of the "Fengyun Daily". Now there is another grassroots entertainment and people''s livelihood "Tiantian Daily". Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s powerful acquisition, editing and distribution system will surely increase its sales." "In Southeast Asia, Sing Tao Daily will face the pressure of Jiuding Daily and Fengyun Daily. Now there are more Nanyang Commercial Daily and Sing Chew Daily to pursue it together." "Finally, in the field of English newspapers, the South China Morning Post is a financial newspaper, which originally dominates the "English Standard". Now which business and financial news is better than the "Jiuding Daily"? After the work of Jiuding News After the integration of resources, sales will definitely explode." "Presumably the newspaper queen is already crazy at this time." After the analysis, Pan Yuesheng said in a mixed mood. He didn''t know whether he should gloat or sympathize with Hu Xian. Everyone would be crazy about this matter. Pan Yuesheng really guessed Xia Yu¡¯s intentions. Although a large part of this series of acquisition plans is to allow Jiuding Newspaper to strengthen and expand by leaps and bounds, the other intention is indeed to encircle the island. News Corp. Xia Yu would not keep her hands because Hu Xian was a woman. The mall was like a battlefield, and sympathizing with his opponent was extremely stupid. Since Hu Xian has made it clear that he wants to build a news agency to compete with Jiuding News, Xia Yu must counter in a timely manner. Of course, it is impossible to wait until Sing Tao News Agency is built before responding. He has to hold the initiative in his hands and launch an offensive in advance to disrupt the star. Island News Corporation¡¯s planned deployment, and then profit from it. This time, Xia Yu''s embarrassed handwriting was to knock down Sing Tao News Group with a stick, extinguishing Hu Xian''s ambition, and consolidating the monopoly of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Unfortunately, the plan is still not perfect. The four major newspapers were exposed before the integration and revision were completed. Otherwise, the four major newspapers were digested for a period of time, and when they all broke out, the exposure would be the desperate time of Sing Tao News Group. . Now the exposure is just huge, but Sing Tao News Group has not been hit by the real deal. But there is no way. To privatize a listed company, there is no way to hide the news. ... "By the way, Lao Cha, Hu Xian had been looking for us before, trying to pull us to her unbuilt Sing Tao News Agency. Jiuding News Agency has been contacting us. We have been vague before and don¡¯t want to stand in line. Now it seems that the time to stand in line." Thinking of what had been evasive before, Pan Yuesheng''s heart moved and said to Jin Yong. Jin Yong frowned, then slowly unfolded, and said with some emotion: "Indeed, now is the last chance to stand in the team. Hu Xian has no chance of winning, otherwise it will be too late when the outcome is determined." "Then agree to the cooperation of Jiuding News Agency." "Okay, I''ll contact them later." Pan Yuesheng nodded in response. Major newspapers such as Ming Pao and Hong Kong Economic Journal have always shied away from cooperating with Jiuding News Agency and Sing Tao News Agency. In the final analysis, they all hope that Sing Tao News Group will lift the table and cooperate with Jiuding News Agency. The company is in conflict, and they look for opportunities to develop and grow. But the current situation awakened them. They completely lost confidence in Sing Tao News Corporation, and extinguished the only trace of their desire to compete with Jiuding Newspaper Company They completely recognized the hegemon of Jiuding News Company. status. Sing Tao News Corporation is so powerful that they have been suppressed in this way. Their "Ming Pao" has small arms and legs. In order to avoid being targeted by Jiuding News Corporation like Sing Tao News Corporation, they still stand on Jiuding News Agency while maintaining their independence. Take a stand. At least standing in the team now is the last chance, and you can also actively choose. If you wait until the victory has been divided, then you will be forced to stand in the team, and the gap can be huge. Although they themselves will also be impacted, the impact is small after all. At most, they may bear the impact from the local "Tian Tian Daily" in the future. When there is no possibility to resist, they can only choose to accept their fate and minimize the loss. This ostrich psychology is not only owned by Ming Pao, but also by other major newspapers. This time, they were finally like Jin Yong and Pan Yuesheng, planning to completely bow their heads. At this moment, the situation is extremely unfavorable to Sing Tao News Group! I want to talk about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" with more like-minded people, follow the "hot web article or" on WeChat to chat about favorite books with more book friends Chapter 232: The enemy was frightened and went to the hospital Indeed, as Pan Yuesheng thought, after receiving the news, Hu Xian, who was arranging the work, only felt a whirl of the sky, staggering and sitting on the stool, or the person next to her was supporting her so that she would not fall to the ground. The subordinates surrounding Hu Xian all looked at Hu Xian worriedly, wondering whether they were worried about her physical condition or worried about the company''s situation and prospects. Or, both. For a long time, watching Hu Xian still have no spirits and said nothing, An Yubin, who was responsible for building the Sing Tao News Agency, couldn''t help but called out: "Chairman, Chairman." Hu Xian blinked her eyes and came back to her senses. She looked around at the employees who looked at her worriedly. She knew that she could not fall. She took a deep breath, cheered up, and said in a dry voice, "I''m fine. , You have also heard that the company is facing big trouble now, what can you do?" Everyone looked at each other, and then began to think hard. But in this grim situation, they are really helpless. The threats from Jiuding News Corporation are multifaceted. Sing Tao News Group has been losing ground steadily. It is only then that huge amounts of money have to be spent to build Sing Tao News Agency, so that the company''s core "Sing Tao Daily" will stop the downward trend and realize it. Growth is followed by new business development. The "Sing Tao Daily" that even had a copy of "Fengyun Daily" could not breathe. Now there are "Nanyang Commercial Daily", "Sing Chew Daily" and "Tian Tian Daily" eyeing each other. The company''s second most important "English Standard", the life is not easy, before the "South China Morning Post" pressure, and then the rapid progress "Asian Wall Street Journal" chasing violently. Now the South China Morning Post, which is not hard-pressed by the English Standard, was suddenly acquired by Jiuding News. A huge backing was created out of thin air. It can be predicted that the South China Morning Post will break out soon. In addition to these two newspapers, Sing Tao News Group also has a few small newspapers that are only sold on weekends, and they can''t get them. This kind of bad situation that is targeted in all directions is really not easy to crack! Seeing everyone thinking hard, or sighing, Hu Xian''s heart sank, frowning, and muttering to himself, "Is there really no way to crack it?" "There is a way, since Jiuding Newspaper Company can buy newspapers to gang up against us, then we can also buy other newspapers to deal with it." A high-level executive spoke suddenly and hesitantly. Many people''s eyes brightened as soon as this was said, but they dimmed immediately. One of them couldn''t help but retorted: "Jiuding Newspaper Company spent at least HK$36 million on the acquisition. Do you think we can get it?" When these words came out, everyone lowered their heads and sighed secretly. They all know the current situation of Sing Tao News Corporation. Since the emergence of Jiuding News Corporation, Sing Tao News Group¡¯s sales have been hit, and advertising fund owners have been robbed of most of them. As a result, advertising revenue has been declining. But because of the competition, costs and expenditures are steadily rising. Even after a few months, the company''s finances are tight. If you want to build a news agency, you have to rely on bank loans. Where can you spend the remaining money to buy other newspapers? Moreover, Sing Tao News Group was originally at a disadvantage. If it wanted to fight against Jiuding Newspaper, the value of the newspapers that must be acquired must be greater than 36 million Hong Kong dollars. . After much deliberation, the only way is to start the news agency first, increase the company''s operational efficiency, and improve the quality of newspapers. This is the way to survive. Hu Xian also thought of this. She looked at An Yubin, who was in charge of the construction of the news agency, and asked seriously: "Can the news agency be activated now?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at An Yubin together, which greatly increased the pressure on An Yubin who was a little surprised. Of course, the greatest pressure came from Hu Xian''s expectant gaze. He thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Chairman, the news agency has only been built for more than 20 days up to now, and it has been built from scratch. It is too difficult. Now it has established good offices in some major countries. The personnel system is still being built. According to our plan, it will take at least two months to build it. I am afraid that it cannot be used now." As soon as he said this, Hu Xian''s face turned black. Two months have passed, and now more than 20 days have passed, and more than 30 days have passed. By then, the flowers will be thanked! Now is not the most severe time, when Jiuding Newspaper Company has integrated the four acquired newspapers and integrated them into the system of Jiuding News Agency, it will definitely break out. The "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" have now maintained a rising trend, squeezing the market share of "Sing Tao Daily". At that time, the situation will be the most serious! And the time will never be long! If it waits for more than 30 days and the Sing Tao News Agency is completed step by step, maybe the company will be able to practice at a loss without paying. Therefore, the progress must be accelerated! "Can''t you use it at all? Just serve the "Sing Tao Daily", this news can''t be solved?" Hu Xianxiu raised her eyebrows and looked sharply at An Yubin and asked again. She was really unwilling to do so. This was the only feasible way that could be thought of. An Yubin thought about it again and said hesitantly: "If it is only for ourselves, it can still be used, but because it has not been practiced, there may be many problems." Hu Xian lifted his spirits and said directly: "It''s OK to use it. Now solve the problem first, let''s start it immediately!" An Yubin opened his mouth and looked at the other people present. He hesitated for a while, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach, sighed in his heart, and responded softly: "Understood!" He is the person responsible for building the Sing Tao News Agency He knows exactly what Sing Tao News Agency looks like. What he just wanted to say is that even if the Sing Tao News Agency is built two months later, he is sure Not comparable to Jiuding News Agency. And Hu Xian doesn¡¯t understand this. Now she is pinning all her hopes on the news agency. Some of them have been rushed to use the news agency. The efficiency is definitely not as good as the Jiuding News Agency, and the quality is definitely not as good, maybe No effect. After all, there are "Fengyun Daily" and Jiuding News Agency Zhuyu in front. If there is no way to surpass it, "Sing Tao Daily" rashly revises the edition, it is very likely that the gains will outweigh the losses, leading to the loss of old customers. If it really doesn''t work, Hu Xian will definitely be disappointed, and the responsibility will be borne by him then, and he will definitely have no place to cry. It''s just that now the chairman, Hu Xian, is obviously no one, and he is in the hospital in a sudden illness. He can''t think of another way, so he can only silently execute the order. "I hope it won''t be like this..." An Yubin sighed and prayed secretly. I want to talk about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" with more like-minded people, follow the "hot web article or" on WeChat to chat about favorite books with more book friends Chapter 233: Visitor When he was busy privatizing the South China Morning Post, Yan Wenhan had already gone to take over the newspaper. Jiuding Press held 84.9% of the shares. Even if it was not privatized, it would still be an absolute controlling shareholder, and it was only natural to take over the company. .¡¡In the morning, Yan Wenhan also reported good news to Xia Yu, that is, many big newspapers in Hong Kong that had been unwilling to cooperate before took the initiative to seek cooperation. When Xia Yu got the news, Xia Yu just smiled, and there is no surprise. The helms of this big newspaper are all smart people. Now is the last time to stand in line to get a good impression. If you miss it, you won¡¯t have any worries about what Jiuding News will do in the future. Time flickered to the evening, and Xia Yu drove home early because of something at home. However, on the way home, he made a special turn and bought some good food. Because Xia Yu''s uncle''s family is coming tonight, Xia Yu''s mother Chen Mei also specifically called Xia Yu and told Xia Yu to come back early and buy more good food. Sitting in the car going home, Xia Yu''s eyes were a little distant, his thoughts returned to the past, thinking about the situation of his uncle''s family. Uncle''s name is Chen Liang, and he is the only surviving brother of Xia Yu''s mother Chen Mei. Xia Yu''s mother was the youngest. Above her mother, there were three older brothers, but unfortunately, two of the older brothers died when they were young. Only Chen Liang was left. Later, Xia Yu''s grandmother gave birth to Chen Mei again. It can be said that Chen Mei has never seen the two elder brothers who died, but Chen Liang, the only elder brother, loves her very much. No matter what good things are left to her, Chen Mei does not know how many times he has said these things in front of Xia Yu. . And Xia Yu''s grandfather and grandmother died early because of their age, so the closest relatives on the mother''s side were the uncle Chen Liang''s family. Xia Yu still remembers that he was very weak when he was a child. When many relatives on his father''s side did not borrow money, his uncle Chen Liang, who was from a poor family, really paid the most money, and he also gave a ancestral 100-year-old ginseng. Xia Yu made up for himself. It is a pity that Xia Yu''s uncle was doing coolies for others at the dock when he was young. He was accidentally hit by a heavy object and had a waist problem. From then on, he could no longer do hard work and could not give birth to children. Fortunately, he gave birth early Got a son. I heard that my uncle Chen Liang was working as a guard in a factory. It is said that it is not that the family does not enter the house. Xia Yu''s aunt Tian Wenyu has a personality similar to that of his uncle Chen Liang, and she is more concerned about Chen Liang''s face, but after all, she is a woman and always has some small calculations in her heart. But as long as she was at home, Chen Liang said no two, even if her aunt Tian Wenyu had any thoughts, as long as Chen Liang stared, she would shut up immediately. As for Xia Yu¡¯s cousin, Chen Bin, who is 22 years old this year, he didn¡¯t like to read since he was a child. He had a personality that followed his father. He should be honest. Because of the bad family situation, women look down on him. Another main reason is he. The mouth is dumb and the personality is relatively silent, which leads to the fact that they are still not married at the age of 22. This makes Chen Liang and his wife anxious. Just as Xia Yu recalled, the car entered the gate of the community and arrived at the gate of the house in a short while. Hearing the sound of the car, the door of Xia Yu''s house opened, revealing Xia Xiaomei''s small head. After seeing Xia Yu getting off the car, Xia Xiaomei yelled sweetly: "Brother, you are back." "Parents, Big Brother is back." Xia Xiaomei turned her head and shouted inside, then ran out to help Xia Yu carry things. As soon as he walked in, Xia Yu saw his parents and his uncle''s family of three in the living room. When I saw Xia Yu, the uncle''s family had lost the former randomness, instead they had some restraints, which seemed to take into account Xia Yu''s current identity. "A Yu, you are back." Uncle Chen Liang smiled uncomfortably, and shouted at Xia Yu. Xia Yu shouted enthusiastically: "Uncle, aunt, cousin." After seeing Xia Yu''s enthusiastic attitude, Chen Liang grinned and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the attitude of this nephew towards him was still the same as before. And Tian Wenyu, who was standing next to Chen Liang, smiled more brilliantly, and said with concern: "A Yu, it''s been a long time since I saw you, now I look more handsome than before." "A Yu." Cousin Chen Bin called Xia Yu, and then wanted to say something else without knowing what to say, so he fell silent and kept a somewhat awkward smile. "Uncle, sit down, don''t stand." "Mom, I have bought the vegetables, and Xiao Mei just put it in the kitchen." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he sat down, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for his uncle''s family. Seeing Xia Yu''s actions, Chen Liang and Tian Wenyu smile more, but they still appear a little restrained. The two of them know Xia Yu¡¯s current identity, his wealth is billions, and he is a tycoon-level figure. Over the past few months, although he has not taken the initiative to come to Xia Yu¡¯s house, he has never seen Xia Yu, but for Xia Yu They have been paying attention to Yu''s news. And even if they don''t take the initiative to understand, the neighbors will often tell them about Xia Yu enviously, hoping that they can be stunned by Chen Liang''s relationship. It''s a pity that Xia Yu didn''t take the initiative to find his uncle after so many months, which made him feel uncomfortable. When others saw that his home had not changed, the red-eyed people couldn''t help but gossiping, which made Chen Liang also suspicious. Does his nephew Xia Yu look down on his poor uncle? Fortunately, my sister Chen Mei often came to give something, but Chen Mei also said that he could not be the master of Xia Yu, and Xia Yu has been very busy. Even Xia Yu¡¯s father¡¯s relatives have never been there, which made Chen Liang feel better. A little bit. Even so, even though his wife Tian Wenyu often urged him to come to Xia Yu, Chen Liang, who had a strong self-esteem, refused to agree, but this time, there was really no way. He finally came for his son. But fortunately, it seems that Xia Yu''s attitude towards him is still very good, so what my sister said is true, Xia Yu is too busy with his career and has no time to go to relatives. Then, Xia Yu''s family and uncle''s family chatted, and then aunt and mother cooked together, leaving a few large and small men in the living room to chat. After dinner, everyone sat down around the tea table to drink tea. Xia Yu''s eyes saw that his aunt always pulled his uncle''s clothes, but his uncle Chen Liang was always entangled. He just wanted to ask, and his mother Chen Mei, who was signaled by his father Xia Dahai, spoke: "A Yu, your cousin found it. The girl." Xia Yu raised his brows and looked at embarrassed Chen Bin unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "Cousin, congratulations, when will you have your wedding wine? You must call me at that time." Hearing what Xia Yu said, his cousin Chen Bin scratched his head and smiled and said, "It must be." The worried Chen Liang and Tian Wenyu couple also showed smiles, but the smiles quickly receded, and Chen Liang''s face was a little sad. "Uncle, it''s a good thing for cousin to find a girl. If you have any problems, just tell me, I''m your nephew, don''t see you outside." Xia Yu said with a smile, with a serious attitude. "A Yu, A Bin finally found the girl. The girl''s family also knew about him. I had a good talk, but now that something happened, the girl''s family has opinions. As a last resort, my uncle can only ask you. Helped." Chen Liang sighed and said. Xia Yu nodded gently, expressing understanding. The major event in life is nothing more than getting married and starting a business. Now it is about the issue of his cousin¡¯s marriage. Naturally, Xia Yu will not refuse. Moreover, his uncle has always been very good to their family before. It''s rare to come to him for help now, it''s natural for him to be a nephew. "Uncle, just tell me what the problem is, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!" Xia Yu looked at his uncle Chen Liang sincerely and said. "Then I will say." "The main problem is work. A Bin has been working in the toy factory where I worked before, but at the beginning of this year, the old factory director''s son returned from the United States and then reformed. The pace has taken a big step forward, which makes the toys that are now produced cannot be sold. After going out, the old factory manager was angrily hospitalized. Now the whole factory has been unable to pay wages for a month, and the factory has stopped working. It is about to close down. Now I have found a few factories and can¡¯t find a job. The woman¡¯s parents are right about this. Some people say that he has no stable job and can''t support his family." Chen Liang said with a sad face, then hesitated for a while, looked at Xia Yu with a pleading look, and said, "A Yu, you are very capable and you know many people. Do you know where to hire, introduce a job to your cousin? ." After listening to Xia Yu quietly, he sighed inwardly. Uncle said so tactfully that he knew he was capable, but he did not directly let the arrangement join his company. Instead, he asked him to help introduce a job. In other words, there are more considerations However, from the words of his uncle, Xia Yu is also keenly aware of a problem. He raised his brows and asked: "Uncle, you and cousin work in the same factory. ?The factory closed down, don''t you have a job?" "Mine does not matter, as long as A Bin has a job." Chen Liang grinned and said nonchalantly. He didn''t ask Xia Yu to arrange work for him. He couldn''t talk about it. If it wasn''t for his son''s relationship problems with his work, and his wife gave him airs many times, he would not come to ask. Xia Yu helps. Xia Yu nodded lightly, did not express his position, but thought of more. This favor is a piece of cake for him. Helping is definitely necessary, but after helping, he has to think of a way to solve the problem. Xia Yu was annoyed by some relatives on his father''s side before. Xia Yu also said at home that relatives came to ask for help. So for so many months, although some relatives have always come to test Xia Dahai and Chen Mei, their husbands and wives have not let go. For this reason, some people in the village gossiping, saying that Xia Yu''s family has developed and they have forgotten their roots. Chapter 234: Manke House This word naturally spread to Xia Dahai''s ears, which made Xia Dahai feel bad for a while. In the end, he didn''t even see his home, and at most he had contact with some of his relatives.¡¡But now that Xia Yu is ready to let go and help his uncle, mother has other relatives who are a little farther away, so it''s hard to refuse if he asks to come. Xu Zhong, a relative of his father''s side, has a small number of snobs and white-eyed wolves, and there are still many relatives who are honest. Having decided to arrange work for his cousin and uncle, Xia Yu wondered how to arrange it. He does not want to arrange relatives into his core company, which will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and it is also easy to breed corruption problems and affect the management and development of the company. How many grass-roots rich people in the past have stuffed their relatives and friends into the company, and how many end up in the end? Xia Yu has seen **** incidents such as fighting for power, corruption, occupying the magpie''s nest, and rebelling against customers. Therefore, it is impossible for him to get confused and arrange his relatives into his core company and control his rights. Unless it is something that is not important, even if something goes wrong, it will have no effect on him. Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of the toy factory that his uncle was talking about. He asked, "Uncle, what''s the situation with that toy factory?" Chen Liang didn¡¯t know why Xia Yu asked this. He thought about it and said, ¡°This toy factory is called Minghong Toy Factory. It mainly makes stuffed toys and modeling toys. There are 158 workers in the Jiulong Industrial Park. The original development was fine, but after the old factory director¡¯s son came, he said that he had received a large order from the US and he took a loan to replace the machine to expand production. Unexpectedly, the toy was made, but the order was yellow. Now the entire toy The factory is shut down." Xia Yu''s heart moved, thinking about sending someone to investigate whether this toy factory has acquisition value, and if so, it will be acquired. It happens that he needs a toy factory to produce comic peripheral products. And after the acquisition, it will definitely be expanded, and at that time you can also recruit workers from your hometown. It is better than relatives fishing for a living. Moreover, my uncle and cousin were also doing this job, so they continued to do it, and they didn''t adapt to the new job. At the same time, this is also good for Xia Yu. After all, it is only a toy factory, at the bottom of the industry chain. Even if something happens to him in the future because of too many relatives, it will not have any impact on him. Thinking about it this way, buying a toy factory and arranging work for relatives. The relatives of the father and mother are treated equally. No one can have an opinion. It is a complementary effect to his career. It can be described as the best of both worlds. After thinking about it, Xia Yu smiled, looked at his uncle''s family, and nodded: "Uncle, I will definitely help with this. You can just wait for my news. You and your cousin will have a good deal of work for at most one week." As Xia Yu''s words fell off, both his uncle''s family, Xia Dahai and Chen Mei''s couple all smiled. "A Yu, don''t be in a hurry, you don''t have to be in a week when you look at the arrangement, your business is important, you should be busy with your business first." Although Chen Liang was very happy because Xia Yu agreed to help, he also knew that Xia Yu had a lot of things, so he quickly stated his attitude so that Xia Yu didn''t have to worry. Now that Xia Yu has said it, this kind of thing can naturally be done, and their hearts can be put down, and they don''t care whether it is a week or a half month. Xia Yu smiled, and didn''t continue to talk about it. He decided to do it in his heart, there was no need to go into such details. Later, Xia Yu talked about other things with his uncle''s family. In the evening, the uncle''s family also stayed at Xia Yu''s house and left early the next morning. And Xia Yu didn''t stay at home much, and went to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. by car. The results of the second issue of "Military Manke" comic magazine have been released. Today is the first day of sales of the third issue of "Military Manke". ... "Tengdong, have the sales statistics of last week come out?" After finding Ma Tengdong, Xia Yu went straight to the topic. "Boss, the statistics have been calculated. The total sales volume of the second issue of "Zhiyin Manke" is 630,000 copies. The detailed table is here." As Ma Tengdong said, he took out the prepared statistical table from the drawer and handed it to Xia Yu, who took it and looked at it. A total of 160,000 copies were sold in Hong Kong and Macau, 100,000 copies in Taiwan, and 150,000 copies in Southeast Asian countries, so the total Chinese version totaled 410,000 copies. In the island country, the sales volume was 220,000 copies. Compared with the 400,000 copies that were given out for free before, the reader retention rate reached 55%. The retention rate of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is 39%. The lowest are Southeast Asian countries, with a retention rate of only 20%! After thinking about it, Xia Yu figured it out. The island country has the highest market. That''s because the comics market has been developed, the island country¡¯s economy is also developed, and readers have money to buy comics. The most important thing is that the quality of "Zhiyin Manke" is very high, it is worth buying! However, Southeast Asian countries are mainly economically inferior to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so the low retention rate can be explained. The economic level of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is pretty good, especially the local comics industry in Hong Kong has just been cleaned up. Xia Yu is completely eating alone, so sales will naturally not be low! "Tengdong, good work, stabilize this sales, and strive to reach new highs!" Xia Yu put down the statistics table, looked at Ma Tengdong with appreciation and said. 630,000 copies are already a good start. Although the overall retention rate is 34%, the retention rate will definitely be much higher if you remove those who bought newspapers and don¡¯t read comics. "The boss can rest assured, I will continue to work hard!" Ma Tengdong said with a smile on his face. "By the way, boss, there are already many merchants who want to authorize us to produce peripheral products, and I haven''t agreed to it temporarily." Suddenly thinking of something, Ma Tengdong said immediately. Xia Yu smiled faintly: "I also want to tell you this." Ma Tengdong lifted his spirits and looked at Xia Yu with some expectation and said, "Boss, please tell me." "Peripheral products are the most profitable, and authorized production is the most normal business, but now our comics have only just been released, and the market has not yet developed, so it is not suitable for authorization. We must first set a standard!" Xia Yu said slowly, Ma Tengdong nodded in agreement. This was also his concern, so he did not agree to authorize. "When you are in an island country, you should know that whether it is Xiaoxueguan or Shueisha, they have their own flagship stores around them, and we also have them. We must eat most of the profits from the peripheral products." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said lightly, but his tone was beyond doubt. The surrounding flagship store is a bit like the experience store of later generations of Apple, which only sells company-related peripheral products, which can cultivate user loyalty and also make a lot of profits. Similarly, this kind of peripheral flagship store can also sell comics and magazines, whether it will be published in the future, or the comics that have been sold, can be sold in it. This enriches the company¡¯s distribution channels and not only allows Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. A good grasp of the market context can also enhance the right to speak before the channel business. After all, when Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has its own retail stores directly under its control, other distributors are more likely to bow their heads. Therefore, the benefits of establishing surrounding flagship stores are enormous. Ma Tengdong nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said, "The boss, what is the name of our surrounding flagship store?" Xia Yu thought for a while, and slowly said: "Let¡¯s call Manke¡¯s Home. Readers are our customers. The surrounding flagship stores are for them. In the future, we must operate seriously and strive to make Manke¡¯s Home the No. Two homes." Ma Tengdong''s eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "This name is good, the home of comics, the home of comic lovers, take the last two words of our comic magazine, it is easy to remember and appropriate, and it can cultivate readers'' loyalty." Although Ma Tengdong was suspected of flattering, Xia Yu was still useful, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but bend a curve. "Tengdong, you make a detailed plan, and at the same time set up the direct management department of Manke House. My request is to open ten Manke Houses in the first phase, one in each of the three places in Hong Kong, one in Omen, and one in the north and south of Taiwan. One, three in the island country, and one in Singapore in Southeast Asia. You need to check the location of the store. These flagship stores will also be responsible for the task of copying and opening the store in the future. The design of the scene in the store must be closed." "Ok!" Ma Tengdong nodded seriously and said that he had written it down. "The boss, we still lack supporting factories to produce peripheral products, what are your plans?" "Our own factory produces!" Xia Yu said without hesitation that with his own factory and more people working for him, his influence will naturally be greater. Moreover, with his own factory, he can not only control quality but also make more profits. "This is what I want to tell you. There is a Minghong Toy Factory in the Jiulong Industrial Park. You send someone to investigate it and see if it can be acquired if it is appropriate." "I will give you the money for the construction of Manke House and the money for the acquisition of the toy factory. My requirement is only one that is both efficiency and quality, understand?" Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong solemnly and said. "understand!" Ma Tengdong answered loudly with joy. To be honest, the Jiuding Newspaper Company spent at least 36 million Hong Kong dollars. After the news of the massive acquisition was exposed, Ma Tengdong felt envious in his heart. But he also knew that it was because Jiuding Newspaper had a solid foundation and could digest the acquired company. However, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., which he manages, has just started. The foundation has not yet been established, and the market has not yet been taken over. It is impossible to say that it will acquire other companies to grow itself. I just didn''t expect that within a few days of envy, the boss gave him such a big task and provided funds. How could this not make him happy. Ma Tengdong has secretly made up his mind to do these things well and let the boss see that he will never waste a penny. Maybe the boss will provide funds to accelerate the animation company''s take-off. Chapter 235: 36.7 million Hong Kong dollars Two days later, Ma Tengdong handed over the investigation report of Minghong Toy Factory to Xia Yu. After reading it, Xia Yu raised his brows. It seems that Minghong Toy Factory''s acquisition value is not bad! The land of the Minghong Toy Factory is its own, and the machine has just been updated, and it is preparing to take it on a large scale, but I did not expect it to be pitted by the Yankees. Now the Minghong Toy Factory is in a quagmire. The toys produced cannot be sold under squeeze. The entire factory has ceased operation, and the banks are frantically collecting debts when they see the situation. The owner of Minghong Toy Factory has already planned to stop the loss and withdraw, because if it continues like this, it will go bankrupt sooner or later, and then there will be nothing. It is better to admit the plant and find a way to stop the loss and get some money back. The entire Minghong Toy Factory, including land, plant and machinery, has total assets of about 5 million Hong Kong dollars, of which land assets account for the vast majority. However, it owes a total of 4 million Hong Kong dollars in debt to the bank, and its net assets are only 1 million Hong Kong dollars. , And now I still owe 158 employees a month¡¯s wages. If the delay continues, the bank''s interest rate will get higher and higher, and its assets will shrink day by day. When that time comes bankruptcy and liquidation, you will not get a dime. "In this way, the acquisition value of Minghong Toy Factory is good!" Xia Yu murmured with a smile after reading it. "Yes, boss, I have asked people to analyze it. It is indeed suitable for acquisition, and the price is not very high. The price is definitely lower than one million Hong Kong dollars. The acquisition price is small and the effect is quick." Ma Tengdong nodded in agreement and said. The acquisition of Minghong Toy Factory is completely taking advantage of the fire. On the one hand, they caused the fire, and on the other hand, the bank released it. Banks are cold-faced and ruthless. They like to squeeze hard when others are not short of money, and fall into trouble when others are in trouble. But as long as Minghong Toy Factory is acquired by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the bank debt collectors will definitely turn around and leave immediately, and maybe even expect Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to borrow more. After all, the backing of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is too hard, and it is absolutely impossible to not be able to repay their bank money. "Then go buy it, it will be acquired within four days." Xia Yu made a decision directly, if there is any omission or not, is it stupid? What''s more, most of the assets are land, and now you buy it and earn it. "Understood, I''ll make arrangements later." Ma Tengdong nodded immediately. ... When I came to Jiuding Newspaper, I just sat down and saw Yan Wenhan approaching him with a strange expression. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, looked at the newspaper in Yan Wenhan''s hand, and asked softly: "What''s wrong?" "Boss, look, the "Sing Tao Daily" has been revised, and the Sing Tao News Agency has been activated." Yan Wenhan handed the newspaper to Xia Yu and explained. Xia Yu was surprised now. It seems that it hasn''t been a month since I learned that Sing Tao News Group is going to build a news agency. Will it be put into use so soon? Are you joking? We must know that with Xia Yu''s control, and after investing huge resources, Jiuding News Agency also took two months to build it successfully. Is Sing Tao News Group better than him? Xia Yu absolutely didn''t believe it. If he had this ability, would he still be defeated by Jiuding Newspaper Company? Unable to figure it out, he immediately took the newspaper that Yan Wenhan handed over, and started to browse it, and found that the "Sing Tao Daily" had indeed been revised, with more international news sections, and the section accounted for nearly one-third of the space. One lot. Below these news, it is uniformly marked that the news comes from the Sing Tao News Agency, or some news quotes "according to Sing Tao News Agency news..." at the beginning. Just looking at it again, Xia Yu stretched his brows, and then quickly looked at other news, he found that the level of heavyweight of these news was somewhat uneven, and the level of news writing was much worse than that of Jiuding News Agency. Seeing the end, Xia Yu retracted his gaze, the corner of his mouth curled up, not knowing whether he was happy or mocking, and shook his head and sneered. He understood why Yan Wenhan''s expression was strange. Hu Xian was dizzy and confused. If you look at the level of the news, you can know the level of Sing Tao News Agency. There is no way to compare with Jiuding News Agency. He also wondered how Sing Tao News Agency was able to use it so quickly. It turned out to be a semi-finished product, and it was put into use before it was built. This decision was too unwise. Hu Xian is also a shrewd person, and he did it this time. Such a stupid thing. Although the overall quality of "Sing Tao Daily" has increased a bit compared with before, it still cannot be compared with "Fengyun Daily". As long as it is not comparable, no matter how much it improves, it is still at most a second child, the light will be covered up, or it will not play a key role. "The outcome has been determined! I thought it would take a while to fight, it seems that those methods are not available." Xia Yu shook his head and sighed. "Yeah, boss, I didn''t expect that I would look up at her before. I didn''t expect to be chaotic at a critical time. It seems that not every woman is capable of being in a high position." Yan Wenhan also echoed. He also didn''t expect his opponent to lose his mind and make such a dull decision. Originally, Sing Tao News Group had missed the first opportunity. The only way was to stabilize its position and wait for the opportunity to counterattack when the Sing Tao News Agency was built. However, if you enable it in advance, it will not have any effect, although you can use it to create a run-in. But you should know that readers don''t have the patience to play the nurturing game with Sing Tao Daily. The first impression is very important. There is no harm if there is no comparison. With the jewel of Fengyun Daily ahead, the quality of Sing Tao Daily is not as good as Fengyun Daily after this revision. Who wants to read it? The current situation can be described as an example. Jiuding News Corporation and Sing Tao News Group are both sharpening their swords, but the rival Sing Tao News Group didn¡¯t even open the knife, so they took it out and wanted to kill people. I think too much, I can''t even kill a chicken! "Wenhan, the acquisition by the South China Morning Post is over, right?" Xia Yu suddenly asked, although it has only been a few days, there is no difficulty in this acquisition. Jiuding Newspaper already holds 84.9% of the shares and is fully able to control the general meeting of shareholders. Mandatory delisting and privatization will result in an agreed liquidation price for stocks, and other stocks in the hands of stockholders will automatically close their positions at the agreed liquidation price. Shareholders have no choice. If it is not sold, it will be worthless! Therefore, the remaining 15.1% of the stocks can be recycled just like scraps. There is no difficulty. A few days is enough! "Boss, the acquisition has been completed, and now 100% of the equity of the South China Morning Post is in our hands. The acquisition of the South China Morning Post cost a total of 11.5 million Hong Kong dollars." Yan Wenhan reports truthfully. "Good job!" Xia Yu smiled appreciatively. 11.5 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that it is very cheap to buy the South China Morning Post, the number one English newspaper. You must know that the same 110,000 daily sales of Nanyang Business Daily spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars to buy it. Now the South China Morning Post "Instead, it was 500,000 Hong Kong dollars cheaper. As a result, the acquisition cost 12 million Hong Kong dollars for Nanyang Business Daily, 11 million Hong Kong dollars for Sin Chew Daily, 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars for Tiantian Daily, and 11.5 million Hong Kong dollars for South China Morning Post. A total of 36.7 million Hong Kong dollars was spent. The original acquisition of the former Jiuding Newspaper Company had 25 million Hong Kong dollars in working capital, and another 20 million Hong Kong dollars loan from HSBC, totaling 45 million Hong Kong dollars. Excluding the funds spent on the acquisition, Jiuding News now has 8.3 million Hong Kong dollars remaining in working capital, which is completely enough to support the normal operation of the company. "How is the integration of the four newspapers now? When will it be completed?" Xia Yu asked again. "Boss, "Nanyang Business Daily" and "South China Morning Post" are newspapers that focus on business and finance. We are very experienced in this area. Before, our "Jiuding Daily" was limited by page issues, and many articles were not published. Now you can put these articles on the "Nanyang Commercial Daily"." "Especially the South China Morning Post is the easiest to rectify. You can translate part of the news on the Jiuding Daily into English and publish it in English. The quality will be greatly improved, and the influence of the Jiuding Daily can be improved to the British. Penetrate over there." Xia Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Yan Wenhan''s analysis and approach. "As for the "Sing Chew Daily", the more important thing is to use Jiuding News Agency to revise the edition. Its own editing system is good. There is no need to make major changes. As long as some high-quality news from Jiuding News Agency is published on it, the newspaper can be improved. Quality, with the help of our original channels, sales increase is not a problem." "The last "Tian Tian Daily" is the most rectified, but because the newspaper is small and difficult, the employees of "Tian Tian Daily" enjoy better treatment, and they are now motivated to work." "In terms of the operating system, the problem is not big. Now the biggest action is the distribution system. The distribution system of the four newspapers is being quickly integrated, especially the "Nanyang Commercial Daily" and "Sin Chew Daily." When this is over, our distribution channels in Southeast Asia will take another step." "But it''s been more than half of it now. Four newspapers can be integrated for up to five days!" After introducing the situationYan Wenhan made a guarantee. Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Very well, just follow your ideas." "Okay!" Yan Wenhan nodded in response. Suddenly, Yan Wenhan thought of something and immediately said: "Boss, you asked me to help you recruit a secretary. Now that I have received a lot of resumes, I have eliminated some bad ones. When do you think you have time for an interview?" After speaking, Yan Wenhan stood quietly on the spot, waiting for Xia Yu''s order. The boss hires a secretary. He can''t do this. The best thing is to let the boss interview in person. After all, the secretary can be said to be the person closest to the boss. He should be careful. Xia Yu raised his brows, thought about it, and said, "Just let them know at three o''clock this afternoon and let them all come here for an interview." "Okay." Yan Wenhan said respectfully. Want to talk about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" with more like-minded people, follow "Hot Netwen or rd444" on WeChat and talk about your favorite books with more book friends Chapter 236: This secretary is so fierce At the same time, in the office building of Ming Pao, Jin Yong and Pan Yuesheng sat face to face, with a copy of Fengyun Daily and a copy of Sing Tao Daily on the table.¡¡Jin Yong wore glasses, left to look at "Fengyun Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" again. For a long time, he shook his head and exclaimed: "It''s a pity, what a sigh..." "Unexpectedly, when the newspaper queen was also dizzy, the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" may be very high today, but it will be difficult in the future." Pan Yuesheng also sighed. Pan Yuesheng was also shocked for a while at the news that the "Sing Tao Daily" was suddenly revised and the Sing Tao News Agency was launched. He didn''t expect Hu Xian to make such a decision. The first feeling in his mind was that Hu Xian might suffer. Sure enough, although the "Sing Tao Daily" has changed a lot from before, the quality is also higher. But not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods. Comparing "Sing Tao Daily" with "Feng Yun Daily", it is clear that the last card of Sing Tao Daily may be the king''s card, and it is so bad! It''s a three! No wonder he said that Hu Xian was dizzy. This was because he had taken into consideration that Fairy Hu was a female, and he was merciful, otherwise, he would have to make a worse evaluation. "Haha, Yuesheng, this also shows that Hu Xian is under too much pressure and is in a state of embarrassment. It is reasonable for her to be a woman who is in a mess. If we change, it will not be much better than her." Jin Yong said with a smile. After listening, Pan Yuesheng nodded silently. Indeed, the only blame is the Jiuding Newspaper Company''s power! In the afternoon, after eating lunch and taking a nap, I woke up to check the time and found that it was already 2:40 in the afternoon. Thinking of going to an interview, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Newspaper Company. Just about to enter the company, suddenly, Xia Yu only felt a fragrant wind passing by. A woman with a graceful figure ran past him, her mouth still saying, "It''s bad luck, the bus can be broken, I knew it would be broken. Come here, luckily it''s not time yet..." Mumbling, Xia Yu saw that the woman had entered his company and asked the front desk staff what. Xia Yu walked in, and the staff at the front desk respectfully shouted: "Good afternoon boss!" The woman in question became stiff, and slowly turned her head. After seeing Xia Yu with a bodyguard, her mouth was slightly open and her expression was a bit sluggish, but because she was so beautiful, she seemed to Xia Yu instead. A little cute. This woman is about 20 years old. She is very beautiful and tall. She should be one meter and seven meters tall. She is wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a short skirt with a short buttocks. Her two long white legs are directly exposed. in the air. Of course, the most important thing is that Xia Yu discovered that this beauty is very protruding, with a pair of chests of at least 36G, and the shirt is bulging, and the buttons on the chest seem to burst at any time. To describe her in one sentence, that is the face of an angel, the figure of a devil, she is definitely a female fairy, and her cute expression is matched with her enchanting figure, this kind of contrast makes people look around. Xia Yu just froze for a while before taking back his gaze calmly, and asked indifferently: "What''s the matter with you?" She looked around and realized that Xia Yu was talking to her. She was caught off guard, twisted and said nervously, "Boss, I''m here for an interview." ." It seems that because she was too nervous, she directly called Xia Yu''s boss, so Xia Yu couldn''t help but feel happy. This cute girl was a bit interesting. However, what made Xia Yu pay more attention to was her voice, which was very soft and soft, somewhat like a coquettish voice, which was a bit similar to that of Lin Chiling, a later generation. Just looking at her, her speech seemed very natural, not like she said it deliberately. How many good things this beauty has done in her previous life can grow into this life, she is definitely a female fairy! Xia Yu said inwardly. Looking at her watch, Xia Yu gave her a smile and said, "You are very lucky, the bus has not been late because of a problem." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the cute girl''s expression was embarrassed, and she realized that Xia Yu had heard her mutter just now. She pursed her mouth in embarrassment, and there were two blushes on her pretty face. Xia Yu calmly retracted his gaze, and now he was ready to move a certain part, and he would be embarrassed if he looked at him again. "You take her to the waiting place." Xia Yu nodded towards the cute girl, then said to the staff, and after speaking, he led Yan Shining towards Yan Wenhan''s office. "Wenhan, are everyone here?" After seeing Yan Wenhan, Xia Yu immediately asked. "I just took a look, and there was only one short of it. The others were arranged to wait in the reception room." "Boss, this is their resume." Yan Wenhanhui reported that he handed a stack of resumes to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it and said smoothly: "The last one should have arrived. I ran into one at the door just now, and the one who didn''t come should be her." "Oh, good!" Yan Wenhan was taken aback. He didn''t expect that he would be met by the boss by such a coincidence. He recovered and immediately responded. "Let''s go, go to the small meeting room." After speaking, Xia Yu led Yan Wenhan to the small meeting room. The interview was conducted there this afternoon. The reception room was just next to the small meeting room. When passing by the reception room, Xia Yu glanced inside and was a little dumbfounded, because he saw that it was all women inside, and all of them were very young and beautiful. Xia Yu retracted his gaze, did not stop, and continued to walk forward. After entering the small conference room, he looked straight at Yan Wenhan. When Yan Wenhan was a little uncomfortable, Xia Yu said: "Wenhan, the interviewees are all women. of?" "Yeah, I also eliminated some, these are better." Yan Wenhan replied seriously. Seeing Yan Wenhan''s serious answer, but still didn''t understand what he meant, Xia Yu was a little speechless, and pointed out: "I''m looking for a secretary. I want to learn from the truth, not the emperor''s concubine. What are you doing for me? " Yan Wenhan understood now, his old face blushed, and he quickly explained: "Boss, they all have real talents and learn. If you don''t believe me, look at your resume." "you sure?" Xia Yu asked immediately, with suspicion in his eyes. Did Yan Wenhan really misunderstand what he meant? Moreover, he didn''t believe that in this era, there are so many talented young girls. The unbelieving Xia Yu flipped through the resume in his hand. The total amount was about ten, and he read it quickly. However, after reading it, Xia Yu coughed dryly and concealed his embarrassment. Just looking at the resume, these ten women turned out to be college graduates. In this year, very few can finish college, and they are still female college students. And each of their resumes are very wonderful, and what Yan Wenhan actually said is true. It seems that he wants to crooked! Xia Yu was no longer stuck on the topic that embarrassed him just now, and said lightly: "You arrange them to come in in order." Yan Wenhan also knew the boss''s embarrassment, and pretended that nothing had happened. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Okay, I will arrange it now." After speaking, Yan Wenhan retreated and entered the reception room next door. Soon, a beautiful lady in formal clothes knocked on the door and walked in. After seeing Xia Yu''s scrutiny gaze, she suddenly became a little nervous. Although Xia Yu is not very old, she knows who Xia Yu is, and a pressure is on her. Body. "You introduce yourself first." Xia Yu leaned back on the chair blankly, and said lightly. "Hello, my name is Huang Jiahui..." The beauty named Huang Jiahui took a deep breath and began to introduce herself. She was a little nervous at first, but she calmed down as she spoke. The logic and order of her speech became clearer and clearer, and a confident look appeared on her face unconsciously. This made Xia Yu nodded secretly. After she had introduced herself, Xia Yu began to ask questions. Huang Jiahui answered her questions, and Xia Yu wrote impression characteristics and scores on the paper from time to time. After the inquiry, Xia Yu glanced at her resume again, and showed a gentle smile to Huang Jiahui who was looking forward to him, and said: "The interview is over, you will wait for the news for now." "Ok!" Although she didn''t get a clear result, which made Huang Jiahui very disappointed, she didn''t show it. Instead, she showed a sweet smile, and then left the small meeting room with graceful steps. Yan Wenhan, who was outside the door, immediately arranged for another person to enter the arena. One interview after another, Xia Yu''s paper was full of words. "Come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, Xia Yu said without raising his head. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he raised his head and couldn''t help but raise his brow. It turned out to be the cute girl who had just met at the front desk. Seeing Xia Yu looking at her, the cute girl seemed to remember the embarrassing scene just now, with an innocent look on her simple and cute face. Xia Yu lowered her head to find out her resume. It turned out that she was Li Qian. She was only 21 years old this year. She graduated from Xiangjiang Chinese University. She is indeed a major suitable for secretarial positions. Looking at it again, the cute girl Li Qian is still a schoolmaster, and has a strong language talent. She is proficient in four foreign languages ??including English, French, German, and Spanish. This talent is very suitable for secretarial positions. With his strong language skills, coupled with his Chinese major, in terms of ability, none of these interviewers can match her. I just don¡¯t know if there is any moisture in her resume! "Please introduce yourself in French, English, German, and Spanish at the same time." The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth curled up, looking at Li Qian, and speaking in fluent French. Hearing Xia Yu''s fluent development, Li Qian was a little surprised, her mouth opened slightly, and she blinked at Xia Yu. She was surprised. She didn''t expect Xia Yu to speak French, so at this time, she was distracted! Seeing Li Qian''s thoughts and distractions, Xia Yu raised her brows. It seems that Li Qian''s brain circuit is a bit different from ordinary people! "Please!" Xia Yu raised her volume and said, making Li Qian regain her senses. Seeing Xia Yu''s strange gaze, Li Qian showed some innocent expressions on some of her faces, and became a little nervous. She squeezed her skirt and introduced herself. She seemed to have entered the state in an instant, her expression became very serious, the previous innocent and cute expression disappeared, so Xia Yu couldn''t help frowning slightly, wondering if she was pretending before, and now this is in line with the temperament of a high school what! However, he didn''t think too much, because Li Qian''s self-introduction began. "My name is Li Qian, I am 21 years old and graduated from Hong Kong Chinese University..." Li Qian''s voice is still the same, the soft and soft baby voice, the bones of people are crisp, even if Xia Yu''s concentration is amazing, it is still affected, but his unmoving expression does not show it. Xia Yu is also proficient in various languages. When listening to Li Qian''s self-introduction, he did keep changing midway. He used four languages ??and spoke fluently. After introducing himself, Xia Yu directly asked questions instead of speaking Mandarin, but changed the questions in four foreign languages. Each time, Li Qian could answer them fluently. After some questions and answers, Xia Yu asked Li Qian, who had returned to her cute appearance, to go out and wait for news. Looking at her attractive back, Xia Yu secretly thought: "I didn''t expect that she was really a schoolmaster, but her appearance was too deceptive. If she didn''t understand, she would really think she was a vase." "Huang Jiahui, the most outstanding person in the previous interview, is not as good as her. I don¡¯t know if there is anyone who is better than her in the future. Otherwise, she will really be hired? Then I will receive it in the future. With a female fairy by her side, who can stand it..." Next, after interviewing the remaining people, Yan Wenhan walked in and saw Xia Yu thinking, he stood quietly and waited. "call¡­¡­" After a long time, Xia Yu let out a long breath, and finally made up his mind, decided on a candidate, and said to Yan Wenhan, "Wenhan, that''s Li Qian." Yan Wenhan was taken aback, it turned out to be Li Qian, the one who was almost late and was met by the boss Xia Yu. When he was outside, he also found out that she is definitely a female fairy. Not only is her body very attractive, but her voice can also arouse people''s hearts. He didn''t expect the boss to choose her. Does the boss like this? ? Seeing Yan Wenhan''s appearance, Xia Yu somewhat guessed his thoughts and rolled his eyes suddenly. Can he say that he chose according to his ability? However, he didn''t bother to explain, forcibly explaining that there was a suspicion that there was no silver three hundred taels here. After waiting, Yan Wenhan would understand it. "Okay, boss, then I will announce the result." Yan Wenhan said he was going out Wait, that Huang Jiahui was also hired as your secretary. " Just when Yan Wenhan wanted to leave, Xia Yu called him and said again. Yan Wenhan was very surprised. After confirming that the boss was serious, he opened his mouth to refuse, but in the end he nodded and said, "Okay!" He does have more and more things and needs someone to help him, but he is married after all, and now he has an extra female secretary. It is always awkward, and he is a little worried. But the boss made a word, and this is also the boss''s concern for him, even if he has an idea in his heart, he can only swallow it back and honestly agree. "Go!" Xia Yu waved his hand and sent Yan Wenhan away. Li Qian''s figure appeared unknowingly in his mind. There were too many and obvious characteristics, and he was too impressed. "I hope you don''t pit it..." Chapter 237: Accept your fate On this day, Hu Xian, who was always paying attention to the sales of his own "Sing Tao Daily", knew the newspaper''s sales for the first time, but he stopped the decline and the sales increased by 30,000 copies.¡¡For a time, most of the depression in Hu Xian''s heart disappeared. He only felt that the heavy pressure in his heart that was as heavy as a mountain in the past month has also disappeared, and the smile that has not been seen for a long time appears again. On this day, not only Hu Xian, but the entire Sing Tao News Group were in a good mood and seemed to see the bright future of their company. However, it is too early to draw a conclusion in one day. Now tell Hu Xian and the others at Sing Tao News Group that they are too happy! The next day, when Hu Xian was expecting her own newspaper sales to rise again, the statistics made her dumbfounded. "How can it fall!" Hu Xian''s hand holding the statistics table kept shaking, and he couldn''t believe the data on the table. "Are your statistics wrong? How come it has dropped so drastically! Yesterday it rose by 30,000 copies!" Hu Xian''s face was flushed, his eyes widened, like an angry lion, and he shouted angrily at several executives in front of him. Several executives lowered their heads, afraid to look at Hu Xian''s eyes. In fact, when they saw the statistics for the first time, they couldn''t believe it because they thought it was the staff responsible for statistics that was wrong. But after they watched the statisticians count back and forth several times, the number was still the same. In the end, the non-believers of the Minister of the Publishing Department made a special calculation himself. But the reality is so cruel. The next day''s sales really surpassed all of their expectations. The expected increase in share did not occur. It turned out to be an unacceptable decline, and the decline was so severe! Yesterday¡¯s sales rose by 30,000 copies, but today¡¯s sales volume fell by 40,000 copies compared to yesterday. That is to say, compared to before the revision, it still dropped by 10,000 copies, and the "Sing Tao Daily" fell back again. The state, and the decline is even stronger than before! The first time, they knew they were going to suffer! Their first reaction was not the situation of the company, but rather high interest, with the slowly expecting boss Hu Xian still waiting for them to report, but if this number is reported, they will be greeted by Thunder Fury. Although ten thousand people didn''t want to go, they encouraged the courage to present the sales statistics to Hu Xian. Now that I see it, the boss is angry! Completely accept no! Under Hu Xian''s thunderous anger, they all bowed their heads and remained silent, not daring to speak, for fear that the boss''s anger would concentrate on them. "Speaking, dumb? Are the statistics wrong?" Seeing that several executives were silent on the map, Hu Xian''s heart kept sinking, her breathing became rapid, and she shouted with some emotional breakdown. Yesterday, her own "Sing Tao Daily" also stopped the downward trend and rose by 30,000 copies. For this, she kept enjoying herself. At night, I finally got a good night¡¯s sleep and had a good dream. In the dream, her "Sing Tao Daily" resisted the pressure of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Sales continued to rise, and the major media newspapers that had refused to cooperate were also Cooperating with Sing Tao News Agency, her Sing Tao News Group continued to grow and eventually even seized the status of media supremacy in one fell swoop. It''s just that this kind of happiness only lasted less than a day, and the next day''s sales turned out to be such a sales that made her unacceptable. The psychological gap is too great, she can''t accept it at all! "Speak, what is going on?" "Chairman, there is nothing wrong. We have verified it several times and it is really the sales. Now I have sent someone to investigate and analyze the reason." Realizing that if he didn''t answer, the boss would never give up. Several executives with their heads down exchanged their eyes, and the director of the distribution department in the middle took a deep breath and slightly raised his head and said softly. The words of the Minister of Distribution were like a knife, which directly pierced the only hope in Hu Xian''s heart. Her face turned pale, she only felt the blood rushing to her head, and the whole person had difficulty breathing. "Huhuhu..." Hu Xian leaned on the table and looked at the statistical table floating on the table. Her expression kept changing, her chest was choked again, and she breathed quickly. "Chairman, are you okay?" "Chairman, sit down first, don''t worry." ... Seeing Hu Xian''s strangeness, several senior executives hurriedly walked in, surrounded Hu Xian and said with concern, but did not dare to touch her. For a long time, Hu Xian raised his head and looked at them numbly, his bloodshot eyes looked very scary, and several executives did not dare to look at her. Hu Xian said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Notify everyone of the meeting and we must find out the reason." "Okay, I''ll go right away." An executive immediately responded, and then ran outside. This night, the entire Sing Tao News Corporation building was brightly lit. This night, for all of them, will be a sleepless night. On the third day of the revised version of Sing Tao Daily, sales dropped by nearly 10,000 copies again, and then dropped again on the fourth day. After two days of investigation and detailed analysis, Sing Tao News Group finally came to a cruel conclusion that the revised version of "Sing Tao Daily" has become more homogenous with "Feng Yun Daily", but The quality of "Sing Tao Daily" is not as good as that of the same type of "Feng Yun Daily", leading readers to selectively abandon the less valuable "Sing Tao Daily". After learning about this cruel thing, Hu Xian directly locked himself in the chairman¡¯s office for one day. She finally realized that Sing Tao News Agency should not be activated in advance, and she rashly revised the "Sing Tao Daily". "Sing Tao Daily"''s current misery, in the final analysis, comes from her strategic decision-making mistakes, which she can only swallow. However, she is not reconciled. The Sing Tao News Corporation, which was built by her father Hu Wenhu, once ranked first in the Hong Kong newspaper industry in terms of comprehensive strength , has become what it is now in her hands. Facing a life and death crisis! Moreover, the next situation will be even more severe, because the four newspapers acquired by Jiuding News will soon be armed and attack her, but she has no means to deal with it! Thinking of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Hu Xian''s heart seemed to be crushed by a mountain, suffocating her. Can''t fight! Hu Xian felt that all her strength had been emptied. She was unwilling, but she had nothing to do. Looking at the tall buildings outside the window through the glass, her own appearance appeared in the glass. Hu Xian blinked her eyes, and she seemed to be constantly changing. She saw the kind face of her dead father, and she seemed to hear his father. He asked her to let go and live a life easily. "Forget it, accept your fate..." With a mutter to herself, the last force in her heart disappeared. Hu Xian, who hadn''t slept all night last night, finally couldn''t hold it. His eyelids became heavier and heavier. The whole person slowly lay on the sofa and fell asleep. Chapter 238: Toy factory No one is the true emperor, and the earth will not stop rotating because of whom.¡¡At the time when the Sing Tao News Group was jumping around, Xia Yu did not pay attention. Yan Wenhan was in charge. He wanted to start training his secretary Li Qian to let her know what to do and how to do well. The taste, and some embarrassing or interesting things that happened in the middle, are not for outsiders. But one thing is that after two days of contact, Xia Yu can be sure that Li Qian''s voice is indeed natural, and she didn''t deliberately pretend it. And she seems to be different from ordinary people. When she goes to work, she is meticulous, calm and wise; but when she is free, she does not know what she is thinking, and she always loses her mind and makes Xia Yu laugh and laugh several times. Du made him wonder if it was a wise choice to leave Li Qian. Just when Xia Yu fell into the fun of tangling and training the secretary. Ma Tengdong, who has a clear goal, is very motivated, and the boss of Minghong Toy Factory is really tired and wants to quit. So it only took two days to acquire Minghong Toy Factory. The cost is also relatively low, only 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be a big bargain! Just as Xia Yu thought, after learning that Minghong Toy Factory was acquired by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the bank debt collectors disappeared without a trace, for fear that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. would return the 4 million loan to them. bank. "Boss, the employees of the toy factory have been notified that the on-site handover will be completed today. Do you want to visit the toy factory?" After reporting the situation, Ma Tengdong asked. Thinking of my uncle and cousin, I just went to see the specific situation of the toy factory. Xia Yu stood up and said with some interest: "Let''s go." After speaking, he took Ma Tengdong into Yan Shining''s car and went to the toy factory. When I came to the toy factory, the door was open and no one could be seen. Ma Tengdong explained: "Boss, I called before I came and asked them to gather all the employees. Now there are no people in sight. They should be waiting. It''s over." The boss Xia Yu¡¯s time is precious, and Ma Tengdong naturally has to be considerate and not let the boss wait too long in the toy factory. Xia Yu nodded slightly, looking through the car window to the factory building outside. After getting off the bus, Ma Tengdong led the way, and soon he saw a waiting man with a vicissitudes face and half-white hair. Ma Tengdong introduced Liu Minghong, the founder of Minghong Toy Factory. It seemed that the time when the foundation he had worked hard for decades was finally lost, Liu Minghong smiled very reluctantly, and there was not much chatting. After a few words of greeting, he took Xia Yu and others into it. As soon as he entered, he saw the crowded heads in the audience. Xia Yu glanced at him and was able to confirm that there were at least number one hundred and fifty. The news that the Minghong Toy Factory was sold has spread. At this moment, after seeing Xia Yu and his party, the crowd in the audience became commotion, watching Xia Yu and others. Among them, two of them had the most special reactions. It was Xia Yu¡¯s uncle Chen Liang and cousin Chen Bin. When the father and son saw Xia Yu¡¯s figure, their brains suddenly went down and their eyes followed Xia Yu¡¯s mechanically. Yu turned. Xia Yu also looked for them in the crowd, and soon saw his uncle and cousin. He nodded and smiled at them. Ma Tengdong also noticed Xia Yu''s strangeness. He followed Xia Yu''s gaze and looked at the crowd. He found Chen Liang and his son, his brows frowned slightly, wondering if the two people knew Xia Yu. But now is not the right time, so he retracted his mind and finished the handover first. Under Ma Tengdong''s signal, Liu Minghong gave a speech first, telling the employees about the specific situation. Looking at the familiar faces, Liu Minghong''s thoughts were mixed. He sighed and began to speak: "Presumably everyone understands..." Everyone listened to him quietly. Many old people in the toy factory saw Liu Minghong who had lost a lot of weight. The dissatisfaction caused by the lack of salary disappeared a lot at this moment. Liu Minghong was not easy. "Beside me is the new boss. Starting today, the toy factory will belong to them. I will invite the new boss to speak below." After Liu Minghong finished speaking, he smiled reluctantly and applauded Ma Tengdong and Xia Yu. Even though he was reluctant in his heart, from the moment the transfer agreement was signed, the facts became a foregone conclusion. He still had to do the final etiquette. After all, the acquisition of his toy factory, from a perspective, was to let them get out of the mud Got out of it. Xia Yu nodded to Liu Minghong, and then took a step forward, and everyone''s eyes were suddenly focused on him, but Xia Yu remained unchanged. "It''s nice to meet you all. I will introduce myself first." "My name is Xia Yu, and I am your new boss. Some of you should have heard my name. Starting today, your work will continue as usual, and all the unpaid wages will be made up." "Thank you new boss!" "thank you boss!" Hearing Xia Yu''s repayment of wages, the employees in the audience were immediately surprised and cheered loudly and interrupted Xia Yu''s speech. Xia Yu smiled at the people below to celebrate. Seeing this scene, Liu Minghong at the side was very upset, but he still tried to keep smiling. When the following calmed down again, Xia Yu spoke again: "The toy factory belongs to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and the general manager Ma Tengdong is responsible for the specific affairs. Okay, that''s all for me. Next, let Manager Ma speak for you. ." "Hello everyone, I''m Ma Tengdong..." ... After a lot of busyness, Ma Tengdong let the employees leave. He called some middle and high-level managers to arrange some affairs. As for Liu Minghong, after talking to Xia Yu and others, he left silently. After being idle, Xia Yu took Yan Shining to find his uncles, and soon saw Chen Liang in a good mood in the guard room. "Uncle!" Xia Yu shouted, and Chen Liang immediately turned his head. After seeing Xia Yu, he suddenly walked towards Xia Yu with a full face, and said: "A Yu, I didn''t expect you to be the new boss. Uncle will definitely help you in the future. You are optimistic about the factory." Xia Yu smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Uncle, don''t look at the door. I''ll give you a lighter one." "Don''t don''t don''t, this is great, it''s the easiest job in the entire toy factory, and I can''t do other tasks." Chen Liang waved his hand quickly and refused to say. The smile on his face was still bright. He was of course happy to do something for his nephew. In his heart, he still wondered if Xia Yu bought the factory because of their father and son''s work. "Well, you can tell me where your life is not going well then. How about cousin, right?" Xia Yu said with a smile. "He should be in the factory, A Yu, wait a moment, I''ll call him over." After speaking, Chen Liang hurriedly walked towards the factory building. Xia Yu thought for a while and waited for Ma Tengdong from the province to find him after he came out. Soon, Xia Yu saw Chen Liang leading Chen Bin out of the factory building and running towards him. "A Yu!" "Cousin." "..." Just when Xia Yu and Chen Liang and his son were having a good time, Ma Tengdong, who had simply arranged the task, came out to look for Xia Yu, and soon saw Xia Yu and Chen Liang. From a distance, Ma Tengdong recognized it, and the two employees who were talking and laughing with Xia Yu were the two employees he had seen before. He trot over and respectfully shouted: "Boss, I have finished the task." After speaking, Ma Tengdong looked at both Chen Liang and Chen Liang. "Come on, Tengdong, get to know, this is my uncle Chen Liang and my cousin Chen Bin." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Ma Tengdong was shocked, and his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Chen Liang, it turned out to be the uncle of the boss Xia Yu. "Uncle, you know this too, general manager Ma Tengdong." Xia Yu introduced them to each other. "Hello manager!" Chen Liang immediately shouted. "Hey, don''t, Uncle Chen, just call me a pony." In front of the boss, the boss'' uncle called his manager, how dare he respond, so he waved his hand and said, directly lowering his seniority. "No, no, I am an employee and you are the manager. This relationship must not be messy." Chen Liang said quickly that he was not a stupid person. Although Ma Tengdong said that, it was also because of Xia Yu''s relationship. In fact, he should be reluctant. If he really called Ma Tengdong pony, it would be a mess because of the relationship. Yu will feel uncomfortable, and it will also affect Ma Tengdong''s prestige and factory management. Seeing Ma Tengdong''s embarrassed expression, Xia Yu knew he had to express his attitude, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Haha, Tengdong, don''t think too much, public and private should be separated, you can manage as usual." "Yes, I''m the gatekeeper in the factory," Chen Liang happily followed, and once again demonstrated his identity. Ma Tengdong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay." ... After talking for a while, Xia Yu said goodbye to his uncle and others, and took Ma Tengdong away from the toy factory. In the car, looking at Ma Tengdong who was distracted, Xia Yu knew that he was still thinking about what was just now. "Tengdong!" Xia Yu called him, Ma Tengdong immediately woke up and looked at Xia Yu. "boss!" "Don''t be burdened in your heart. I just introduced you to me. When you manage in the future, how to manage it or how to manage it." "By the way, the factory will still recruit people in the future, and other relatives of mine should come in. Don''t indulge them with regard to my relationship. You must treat them equally. If they do something wrong, they will be punished. My property, you are the one who helps me do things, so I am on your side, you have to understand!" Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, looking at Ma Tengdong firmly. Ma Tengdong was taken aback and saw that Xia Yu was very serious. He had been in contact for a few months. He knew a little about Xia Yu and knew that Xia Yu was serious was speaking from his heart. Suddenly, the pressure in his heart dropped sharply, he smiled, nodded heavily and said, "Boss, I understand!" "If there is a problem you can''t handle, tell me in time, I will handle it myself, and be sure not to delay." Xia Yu exhorted again, showing his attitude. "Ok!" Ma Tengdong nodded seriously. At this moment, he had a certain bottom in his heart. With the promise of the boss, he naturally knew what to do. Soon, the car returned to the animation company again. Before Ma Tengdong was about to get off the car, Xia Yu suddenly said: "Yes, remember to change the name of the toy factory. From now on, it will be called Manke Zhijia Toy Factory. People make a sign and hang it up." "Okay, I''ll ask someone to do it later." Ma Tengdong replied. "Ok!" Chapter 239: 1 chance to get rich overnight After returning, Xia Yu told his parents that he had bought the toy factory where his uncle was located, and asked them to find out which relatives would like to work in the toy factory.¡¡After receiving Xia Yu''s clear promise, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother were relieved and discussed together how to arrange this matter. Seeing his parents discussing with interest, Xia Yu just smiled and didn''t care. He believed that his parents would not mess around. After all, the son and relatives were very clear in their hearts and they would be able to control the degree. . ... "Boss, good morning!" When I entered the building of Jiuding Newspaper Company, I came to my office and saw the enchanting Li Qian bending over and arranging the bookshelves. After hearing the footsteps, he saw that it was Xia Yu coming. Li Qian smiled sweetly. He bowed slightly towards Xia Yu and shouted in a whispering voice. "Good morning!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Early in the morning, I saw an attractive and seductive big beauty. I believe that as long as she is a man, she will be in a good mood. "Is there anything I need to deal with?" Sitting on his boss chair, Xia Yu tilted Erlang''s legs and looked at Li Qian''s enchanting posture while he was busy. Xia Yu smiled appreciatively and asked softly. After recruiting Li Qian, the secretary, Xia Yu took her to four companies, let Wang Qi, Gavin Peter and others know her, and also explained some things. That is, in the future, Xia Yu''s office in Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. will also serve as the direct management office of the other three companies. In the future, all the affairs of each company will be gathered there for centralized processing. In addition, an internal telephone was installed in Xia Yu''s office. Only the four companies'' general managers'' offices could call in to report important things to Xia Yu. And Li Qian was responsible for answering the phone when Xia Yu was away, and recording the reports of the general managers, and showing them to Xia Yu when Xia Yu returned to the office. In addition to this responsibility, Li Qian is also responsible for the internal affairs of Xia Yu''s office; and arranges the preliminary itinerary according to Xia Yu''s work situation, and is ready to adjust from time to time. It is precisely because of this that Xia Yu asked Li Qian if there was anything wrong. "Boss, there is one. At 8:34 this morning, Manager Yan came to the office to look for you. Seeing that you were not there, he left. He didn''t say what it was, but said it was not urgent. I will report to you when you come. Manager Yan has gone out and has not returned yet." Li Qian opened her mouth slightly and reported in a soft and soft voice. "Well, I got it!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, then lowered his head to deal with the things that were not finished yesterday. Since it is not urgent, wait until Yan Wenhan comes back to find him. I don''t know how long it took, Xia Yu heard a knock on the door and said without looking up: "Please come in!" "Click!" With the sound of the door lock turning, the office door opened, and it was Yan Wenhan who came in. "boss!" "Sit down and say, what''s the matter?" Signaling Yan Wenhan to sit down, Xia Yu looked at the stack of newspapers in his hand and asked with a frown. Li Qian, who was sitting aside and reading quietly before, consciously went to make tea after Yan Wenhan came in. "Boss, it''s the matter of four newspapers. Yesterday all four newspapers have been revised. These are the first issues of the new editions of the four newspapers. They have been put on sale this morning." Yan Wenhan said that he put the newspaper in his hand in front of Xia Yu, a look of expectation flashed on his face, as if he was looking forward to the encouragement of the boss, and also looking forward to the increase in sales of four newspapers. "Let me see!" After Xia Yu said with a smile, he began to read the first newspaper. "Thank you!" At this time, Li Qian also made the tea and gently placed it in front of Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan said thank you and immediately looked back and focused on Xia Yu again. Knowing that the boss is reading the newspaper and thinking about things, Li Qian tried his best not to make any movement, and sat quietly in her place. Mei Mou also looked at Xia Yu who was immersed in reading the newspaper, unconsciously and habitually. Lost. After reading the three newspapers "Tian Tian Daily", "Sin Chew Daily" and "Nanyang Commercial Daily", Xia Yu found that the quality was very good. Compared with these three newspapers, it was indeed a big improvement. It is already hard, and with the help of the company''s strong distribution network, the increase in sales is definitely not a problem. "Not bad!" Xia Yu exclaimed, not looking at Yan Wenhan''s happy smile, and continued to look at the last South China Morning Post, which was all in English. "South China Morning Post" is a newspaper that focuses on finance and economics, so Xia Yu mainly reads the level of financial news and articles. After reading several articles in a row, he looked very good according to his criteria. Moreover, Xia Yu also saw some familiar names on the above authors. These authors entered the scene and published articles in Jiuding Daily or Economic Weekly. In addition, some international financial news, such as changes in the New York stock market or changes in the London gold market, also have the English name of Jiuding News Agency. Then, Xia Yu turned another page and looked at the newly opened international news section. At first, he scanned it indifferently, but when he saw a piece of news, he moved and his eyes became sharp and serious. Looked up. Yan Wenhan, who was always paying attention to Xia Yu, sat up straight after seeing the boss''s expression change, waiting for the boss''s possible order. "It is June 4th. The World Cup in Argentina has begun. In the first group stage, Italy won France 2:1, and in the second group stage, West Germany tied Poland 0:0..." After reading the news, Xia Yu clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He was pleasantly surprised. If he did not see the news, he might have missed the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. For others, it''s just a World Cup. It doesn''t matter whether you watch it or not. But for Xia Yu, this is an excellent opportunity. As we all know, Europeans have a deep love for football. Beer and football are the most indispensable things for Europeans. From the traffickers to the princes and nobles, they all like football. And when these two get together, it''s definitely a carnival. Many of the Fortune 500 companies in the following generations are large companies in Europe and the United States. They are in charge of these large companies, and many are fans, and they are all older fans. When the World Cup in Argentina was held in 1978, they were all in their prime. Understood. Of course, Xia Yu also had a lot of knowledge about the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. When Xia Yu knows the direction of the World Cup in Argentina, what will happen? Must bet! In Xia Yu''s eyes, the Argentina World Cup, which is being held in full swing at this time, is a huge golden mountain. If he didn''t dig a few baskets back, he would not forgive himself. Where is the chance of getting rich overnight? right here! Fortunately, I have seen it now. If he waits until the Argentina World Cup ends on June 25 to see this news, he might be depressed for a year! "It seems that we must hurry to travel to the UK. I am a little tired of staying in Hong Kong. It''s time to go out for a walk." Xia Yu said inwardly. After the decision, Xia Yu put down the newspaper calmly and didn''t talk about it with Yan Wenhan, which made Yan Wenhan who was preparing to accept the order a bit stunned, but Xia Yu''s praise made him not think about it. "Very good, the quality of these four newspapers has improved a lot, and sales will definitely increase. You have to check and stabilize the quality. When the word of mouth is fermented, sales will rise further. Making newspapers and marketing are only means, and quality is fundamental." Xia Yu said in admiration, and then warned Yan Wenhan. "Understand, I will shut it down!" Yan Wenhan nodded seriously and said. "By the way, boss, there is one more thing to report to you." "You said!" "The sales of "Sing Tao Daily" fell again yesterday. Although they covered the matter very truthfully, our people knew about it." "Now it seems that the life of Sing Tao News Group is getting worse." Yan Wenhan smiled as he talked, his opponent was upset, of course he was happy, which means that the position of Jiuding Newspaper Company is getting stronger. Hearing what Yan Wenhan said, Xia Yu shook his head. This was expected. "Don''t worry about it, we just need to be ourselves, and we have to be hard when we strike iron. At that time, readers will vote with their feet." Although Xia Yu no longer cared about Sing Tao News Group, he did not say anything. Otherwise, it would easily make people in the company feel proud, so he just gave a light comment. "By the way, Wenhan, I will be leaving Xiangjiang for a period of time in a few days. I believe you can take care of the company if I am not here." Xia Yu suddenly said to Yan Wenhan. Not only Yan Wenhan looked dumbfounded, even Li Qian, who was in a daze, woke up and looked at Xia Yu blankly. "Boss, you want to leave Xiangjiang?" Yan Wenhan blurted out, and he was puzzled how the boss was leaving Xiangjiang. For a moment, he thought of the news that the boss had just seen, and wondered if it was the boss''s idea after seeing the news. "Yes, it can be as short as twenty days, or as long as over a month. How long can not be determined. When I am away, all the company affairs are entrusted to you, and your ability is enough!" Xia Yu nodded and said, finally looking at Yan Wenhan encouragingly. At this moment, Yan Wenhan was in agitated mood, but he felt very stressed. But since the boss is optimistic about him, he will definitely not let down the boss'' expectations. Taking a deep breath, Yan Wenhan nodded heavily and said firmly in his eyes: "Don''t worry, boss, I will not let you down!" "Ok!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. After Yan Wenhan went out, UU Reading Xia Yu looked at Li Qian who was eager to speak, and said with a smile: "Li Qian, you should also prepare for it, and then go abroad with me." "Ah...oh...ok..." Li Qian''s eyes widened and exclaimed, then she nodded in a daze. At this time, her brain was in chaos. She has just come to work for two days, and is going to go abroad with her boss? But she had always lived in Xiangjiang before and had never been abroad, so she didn''t know what to prepare. So at this moment, she was a little at a loss, but since the boss said, she can only obediently obey. Then, Xia Yu looked at his watch and found that it was too early. He thought about it and left the office and went to other companies. He must arrange everything as soon as possible. After all, the World Cup in Argentina has already begun. Every extra day of stay is one more day. The loss! Therefore, we must quickly arrange everything and strive for an early departure! Chapter 240: Big bank family In 1944, the Pacific War was drawing to a close. In Thailand, three Chinese businessmen led by Chen Bi wanted to establish a domestic registered bank called Bangkok Bank.¡¡On December 1, 1945, Bangkok Bank obtained a commercial bank business license. In 1952, the total assets of Bangkok Bank reached 100 million baht, and at the end of 1960 it increased to 880 million baht. In the same year, Bangkok Bank had more than 800 employees, 19 domestic branches, and 6 overseas branches, including two Hong Kong branches and one each in Singapore, London, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo. In 1976, the number of overseas branches increased to 14. According to the historical development, this head office is located in Bangkok, Thailand. The privately-controlled Bangkok Bank will surpass Thailand¡¯s state-owned banks, Thailand¡¯s largest commercial bank, and become Thailand¡¯s largest commercial bank with total assets of 51 billion. Dollar. And become the seventh most important regional bank in Southeast Asia! And Bangkok Bank can grow to the height of the future, founder Chen Bicheng contributed the most! Under Chen Bicheng''s management, Bangkok Bank has become Thailand''s economic pillar. In 1983, the US "Finance" magazine listed Bangkok Bank as one of the world''s 12 largest commercial banks. In 1984, Chen Bicheng was listed as the world''s twelve richest people. Among the 16 Thai banks and 14 foreign banks in the country, Bangkok Bank¡¯s deposits, loans and total assets are the largest in the country. Its scale of operations accounts for more than one-third of the total number of 30 banks in Thailand. Chen Bi is a native. According to the 1985 issue of "Asia is Leaping" by the Island Economic News Agency, his family fortune is estimated to be US$2.2 billion, ranking first among the ten richest men in Asia at the time. Among the 12 richest bankers in the world published by the US "Finance" monthly magazine in 1983, Chen Bicheng was named on the list. He was selected as the Outstanding Banker of the Year 1982 by the world-renowned financial and banking magazine "Asia". All this is inseparable from his principles of life and deeds. His "employing people do not doubt that people do not use" method of employment, let the employees of Bangkok Bank actively work hard and willingly sweat for the company. Every entrepreneur has his own way of business, and Chen Bicheng''s business philosophy is different. He said: "Opening a bank is for business, not just financial business. When I judge whether a business is feasible, I just observe the customer, his past and his family." Therefore, in Southeast Asian countries, many wealthy individuals have received support from Bangkok Bank at the beginning of their careers. This act of giving money in the snow has won the friendship of the richest people for Bangkok Bank. Rich people everywhere are willing to cooperate with Bangkok Bank. Bangkok Bank has business dealings and all rely on Bangkok Bank for working capital. This virtuous circle has made Bangkok Bank a snowball. Unfortunately, just last year, Chen Bicheng passed the position of the president of Bangkok Bank to the old employee Huang Wenbo due to personal reasons, and he himself retreated behind the scenes. Of course, he can safely retreat behind the scenes, one is because of his health; the other is because, in Thailand, the foundation of Bangkok Bank has been established and it is firmly in the overlord position; the third reason is the most important, that is, his son The most outstanding, his second son Chen Youhan has entered the board of directors of Bangkok Bank as a vice president. After a few years of tempering, he will succeed Huang Wenbo and become the president of Bangkok Bank. Huang Wenbo is just a transition. Although Chen Bicheng retreated behind the scenes, Bangkok Bank is still developing according to his will. Because Bangkok Bank has established its domestic foundation in Thailand, its overseas expansion has become the primary goal of Bangkok Bank. In Southeast Asia, Hong Kong is the most important economic and financial center, followed by Singapore. For this reason, Chen Bicheng sent his eldest son, Chen Youqing, to Xiangjiang to take care of the Xiangjiang Commercial Bank he opened. Hong Kong Commercial Bank, in fact, holds a part of the shares in Bangkok Bank. It can be said that it is a branch of Pangu Bank. In Hong Kong, it continues the purpose of Bangkok Bank and tries its best to help Chinese businessmen and make them develop better. Adhering to his father''s management approach, Chen Youqing''s personality is also very calm and kind, so even in Xiangjiang, which has more than 300 branches of banks and financial institutions and huge competition pressure, Xiangjiang Commercial Bank can still operate well. Not long ago, Hu Xian borrowed 10 million Hong Kong dollars from the Hong Kong Commercial Bank in order to build the Sing Tao News Agency and operating company. At that time, Chen Youqing personally agreed to lend the money. At that time, although the "Sing Tao Daily" was impacted by the "Feng Yun Daily", a series of manipulations of the explosive development of public opinion after the "Feng Yun Daily" had not yet occurred, so after analysis, Chen Youqing believed that Sing Tao News Group still had a battle. Power. Moreover, the purpose of the Hu Xian loan is to build the Sing Tao News Agency. As long as it is built, even if there is pressure from Jiuding News, it can still be more than self-sustaining. What he didn''t expect was that the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectations. Jiuding News Corporation made a big acquisition and growth, but Sing Tao News Group made a faint move. There was a huge gap in the beginning, and now it is changing. , The gap has further widened, and Sing Tao News Group is at stake. In this way, the loan he put out is dangerous. Chen Youqing had to pay attention to the ten million Hong Kong dollar loan, so he sent someone to investigate and analyze it. In the office of the president of Xiangjiang Commercial Bank, 46-year-old Chen Youqing read the analysis and investigation report he handed in, frowning slightly. For a long time, he gently put down the analysis and investigation report, and said to himself with some exclamation: "It''s difficult. Now the value of Sing Tao News Group has shrunk greatly, and over time, 90% of it may go further. shrink." Thinking of the loan he released, Chen Youqing felt a little helpless. When Sing Tao News Corporation came to loan, Chen Youqing gave Sing Tao News Corporation a valuation of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but he gave Hu Xian the treatment of an eight-tier loan. Hu Xian borrowed 10 million Hong Kong dollars and mortgaged it. 25% of Sing Tao News Corporation¡¯s shares. But today, before Jiuding News is about to launch a siege, the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" have fallen by more than 100,000 copies in a few months, and the value of Sing Tao News Group has shrunk to less than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. . In other words, Hu Xian''s mortgage of 25% of the shares in his bank is already worth less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if interest is not included, it has already suffered a loss. And anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the completion of the rectification of the four newspapers acquired by Jiuding News, the entire Sing Tao News Group will be affected in all aspects, and the sales of the two newspapers will further decrease. His loss will be even greater. So the best way now is to recover the loan stop loss, or let Hu Xian sign a new loan agreement to increase the mortgaged shares. "President, or we..." The manager standing in front of Chen Youqing spoke. But as soon as he spoke, Chen Youqing knew what he wanted to say, and shook his head and interrupted: ¡°Don¡¯t do this for now, things have not reached the point where they are irreversible. If we do this now, we¡¯ll just fall into trouble, and our reputation will be affected. ." The manager nodded silently, and then asked: "The president, what should I do next, please instruct." Chen Youqing pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Sing Tao News Corporation''s value is more than our loan amount after all. Hu Xian is another woman. Let''s not push too hard, just look at it first." "I''m afraid that Sing Tao News Group also borrowed money from other banks before ~ ??www.novelhall.com ~ We don''t know what the total loan amount is now. Even if we don''t take any action, other banks will do..." The manager couldn''t help but said. Of course, Chen Youqing has considered this point, but what he values ??more is the reputation he has accumulated over the past few decades. Now he has only just made a loss and is not yet at the level of his debt collection, so he shook his head and said, "This matter we If you don¡¯t get started, just observe it for a month or two, unless it is irretrievable, but you have to send someone to pay attention, go." "Ok!" The manager nodded in response, and then slowly exited the president''s office. After his subordinates were pushed out, Chen Youqing looked back at the plaque with the words "Be kind to others" hung on the wall, and once again determined his approach. "Good luck, hope other banks will not force you..." For a long time, Chen Youqing said to himself, then stopped thinking about it and devoted himself to his work. Chapter 241: Total assets of nearly 800 million (2 in 1 large After leaving Jiuding Newspaper Company, Xia Yu first went to an animation company and a publishing company.¡¡The work trend of the animation company for a period of time has been clear, that is, to stabilize the sales of "Zhiyin Manke" and strive to increase sales. There is also sorting out Mankezhijia Toy Factory to produce comic peripheral products. Finally, the management department of chain flagship stores around Manke''s Home was established, and the surrounding flagship stores were selected to be built. These three tasks are what animation companies will do next, and they will not change in a short time. Therefore, during the period when Xia Yu was about to leave Xiangjiang, he also focused on stability and did not assign new tasks to Ma Tengdong, but only warned him to implement the plan, nothing more. After staying in the animation company for a while, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Book Publishing Company and met Gavin Peter, who had been concentrating on developing the company''s business. "Boss, you are here!" After seeing Xia Yu, Gavin Peter quickly put down what was in his hands, came to Xia Yu and shouted respectfully. "Well, how is the company''s progress?" Xia Yu nodded, then asked concerned. "Boss, I was just about to report to you, please follow me." As Gavin Peter said, he brought Xia Yu to his office, and then showed Xia Yu the plan and the current situation of the company. Xia Yu sat on the stool and looked through it, looking in a good mood. Xia Yu should indeed be in a good mood! It has been 26 days since the release of "Xun Qin Ji", and it will be a full month soon. After 26 days, the sales volume of each volume has already exceeded one million copies. The cumulative sales of the third, fourth and fifth volumes were 1.345 million copies, 1.315 million copies, and 1.84 million copies. The popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" attracted many new readers. It also drove the sales of the first and second volumes, bringing the total sales of the first and second volumes to about 2.15 million copies. As for the hardcover collector''s edition, the remaining 200 sets have also been sold as gifts, all of which flowed to the market, and all the 10,000 hardcover collector''s editions were gone. In this way, the cumulative total sales of "Xun Qin Ji" has reached 8.85 million copies, creating a total turnover of 28.25 million for Jiuding Book Publishing Company and Xia Yu, and will continue to bring in income in the coming days. After talking about the good news of "Xun Qin Ji", let''s talk about the work situation of the book company. After 26 days of sales, the daily sales of "Xun Qin Ji" has stabilized, and it is sold in such a long and smooth manner every day. But book companies can''t live their lives on their laurels, and Gavin Peter is also a very enterprising person. Therefore, it is his goal to make Jiuding Book Publishing Company''s martial arts novels famous. After discussion by the company''s senior management, ten excellent martial arts novels have entered the publishing process. In the coming days, there will be a carnival for fans of martial arts novels. There will be one after another of martial arts novels on sale to the market, and strive to build the craze of martial arts novels again through the east wind of "Xun Qin Ji"! It is foreseeable that in the next month, Jiuding Book Publishing Company will become the envy of all publishing companies. "The plan is well done, just follow the plan." After reading it, Xia Yu said with satisfaction. "Ok!" "By the way, in the next period of time, I will leave Xiangjiang, as short as more than 20 days, as long as one or two months. When I am away, you have to manage the company well. When I reach a place, I will call You, if you have any urgent matters, you can contact me at any time." Xia Yu said lightly. Gavin Peter was taken aback, and then solemnly nodded: "Understood, boss rest assured, I will not let you down!" "Well, I believe in your ability!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Gavin Peter showed a humble smile upon hearing Xia Yu''s words. After staying in Jiuding Book Company for a while, Xia Yu set off again and went to Jiuding Securities Company. The things there were the most important and the most cumbersome, so I left it last. When he is about to leave Xiangjiang, he must take a good look at the assets of Jiuding Securities Company. This is about an idea that has just emerged in his heart, but has grown wildly. Because today was a working day, when I came to the securities company, all the employees were busy. Xia Yu only called Wang Qi, Ai Lewen, and Jin Jiajun to the office. For the executives of some other departments, Xia Yu didn''t call them to come together. With their direct boss Wang Qi, it was enough for Xia Yu to understand the situation, so there was no need to affect the operation of the company. "Jin Jiajun, start with you!" Xia Yu was not verbose, and directly asked Jin Jiajun to report on the Huijin No. 1 Fund he was in charge of. Seeing the boss''s unique opening method, the three of them all felt the boss''s importance. Jin Jiajun didn''t dare to neglect, and began to report to Xia Yu. "Boss, Huijin No. 1 Fund..." Following Jin Jiajun''s methodical report and looking at the investment documents in his hand, Xia Yu nodded from time to time. After Jin Jiajun reported, Ailewen followed, and then Wang Qi. After the three of them had finished reporting, Xia Yu nodded towards them, and then began to think, his eyes became distant and deep. Wang Qi and the three looked at each other, and they all sat quietly, waiting for Xia Yu''s order. ... Let¡¯s talk about the Huijin No. 1 Fund managed by Jin Jiajun. The initial capital is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 170 million Hong Kong dollars are bought in accordance with Xia Yu¡¯s designated investment target for long-term investment. The remaining 30 million Hong Kong dollars is Jin Jiajun''s free investment quota can be as long as he makes short, medium and long-term investments. In a fixed long-term investment, the purchase of HSBC shares cost 50 million Hong Kong dollars, with a shareholding ratio of 0.41%. The purchase of Hang Seng Bank shares cost 29 million Hong Kong dollars, with a shareholding ratio of 0.68%. The purchase of the Cheung Kong Holdings Group¡¯s shares cost a total of HK$91 million, with a shareholding ratio of 5.52%. The purchase of the three companies cost a total of 170 million Hong Kong dollars, and the designated investment quota of Huijin No. 1 was spent. Needless to say, Xia Yu''s vision naturally, and the strength of these three companies is also strong, the development is booming, and the return on investment will naturally not be bad. After so many months, the stock prices of these three companies have risen to varying degrees. Now the value of the stocks of the three companies held by Huijin No. 1 has risen by a large margin, reaching 186 million Hong Kong dollars, a floating profit. Reached 16 million Hong Kong dollars, and the return on investment has reached 9.4%. And the short-term investment of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, the income is even stronger. After all, Jiuding Securities Co., whose name is in the Hong Kong stock market, is extremely deterrent to its peers. In addition, the outside world knows that its strength is strong, so it rarely heads up against it. In addition, the Securities Research Institute has long been established, and the level of stock research reports is extremely high. Both stockholders and small securities companies in the same industry are very popular with the securities research reports issued by established securities companies, which makes the operation of Jiuding Securities Company difficult. Greatly reduced. In addition, sometimes it cooperates with the "Jiuding Daily" to use public opinion to influence stock prices. Therefore, investment in the short-term is not unfavorable. The 30 million free investment capital quota is constantly rolling in the stock market. Up to now, it has become 43 million Hong Kong dollars, with a profit of 13 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investment return rate reached 43.3%. From the perspective of the entire fund, the 200 million Hong Kong dollar funds have now become 229 million Hong Kong dollars, with a profit of 29 million Hong Kong dollars, and the current total investment return rate is 14.5%. This return on investment has exceeded the annual return on investment of more than 90% of securities companies. But now it''s only June, and I have only invested more than three months at full play, so it can be predicted that the return on investment of Huijin No. 1 Fund will only be higher. By the end of the year, doubling is definitely not a problem! As for Huizhong No. 1 Fund, the initial capital is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 80 million Hong Kong dollars is the fixed investment quota designated by Xia Yu, and the remaining 20 million Hong Kong dollars is the free investment quota of Eleven. The fixed investment quota of 80 million Hong Kong dollars has also been used up, and 30 million Hong Kong dollars have been spent to purchase a 0.25% stake in HSBC. Spent 25 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase a 1.43% stake in Sun Hung Kai Properties. Spent 25 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase a 1.54% stake in New World Development. So far, there has been a floating profit of 9 million Hong Kong dollars, and the return on investment has reached 11.25%. The short-term investment of 20 million Hong Kong dollars has now become 29 million Hong Kong dollars, the profit is also 9 million, and the return on investment is 45%. Adding the two together, the initial capital of 100 million Hong Kong dollars has now become 118 million Hong Kong dollars, with a total return on investment of 18%, which is higher than the Huijin No. 1 managed by Jin Jiajun! Of course, it is not that Ai Lewen''s ability is higher than Jin Jiajun. This situation will occur, one is because the frequency of Ailewen''s short-term investment is relatively higher, although the risk is higher, but correspondingly, the return on investment is also higher. Another reason is the principal issue. After all, Ai Lewen manages only half of the funds that Jin Jiajun manages, and the investment is less difficult. Jin Jiajun manages 200 million funds is too much, it will take longer to spend, the denominator is larger, and it is naturally lowered. The rate of return on investment. Everyone knows that it is not difficult to turn 10,000 yuan into 20,000 yuan, and I believe many people can do it. But in the same amount of time, turning one million into one and a half million is a lot more difficult, and there are very few people who can do it. One investment return rate is 100%, and the other investment return rate is only 50%. Can it be said that the second type of people is worse? In the financial market, if you want to achieve a high return on investment, many people can do it, but only if the overall return on investment of big funds is high, that is the real cow! So in Xia Yu''s view, the abilities of Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen are not much different, and at most Ai Lewen''s ability may be a little bit higher. But even though both of them are very capable, they are still not as good as Wang Qi. Wang Qi manages the most funds. 28.5 million Hong Kong dollars leveraged the tenfold financial leverage of 285 million Hong Kong dollars, and now it has all become Wharf stocks. Previously, I spent 222 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 16.5 million shares, accounting for 16.84%. After that, they successively spent 63 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 4.47 million shares of Wharf, a total of 4.56%. So now, all the anonymous accounts of Jiuding Securities have a total of 21.4% equity. In addition to this secret project fund, Xia Yu also has a working capital of 125 million Hong Kong dollars. Naturally, it is impossible to put so much money in the account and use it to make money all the time. Even if Xia Yu has successively drew out some funds into the accounts of the other two companies during this period, the remaining funds are still available. There are 142 million Hong Kong dollars. There are so many, it is because the most profitable investment projects are to let the funds eat up first, and then it is the turn of the Huijin 1 and Huizhong 1 funds. Even if Ai Lewen and Jin Jiajun didn''t have any opinions, after all, the boss'' own funds and outsiders'' funds, how important they are, they naturally distinguished clearly. In addition to these, Jiuding Securities also has other income, whether it is securities underwriting, consulting mergers and acquisitions, or securities research institute business, etc., all have a lot of income. These miscellaneous businesses add up to a total of 12 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue for the company. After understanding, Xia Yu began to calculate in his heart. Excluding intangible assets such as manpower, the total tangible assets of Jiuding Securities are 786 million Hong Kong dollars, which is very close to 800 million Hong Kong dollars. This strength is enough for Jiuding Securities to squeeze into the ranks of Xiangjiang''s top securities companies. Of course, the assets under management seem to be high, but Xia Yu is actually in his early 200 million. However, at this level, you have to change your mentality. Don''t look at how much money you have. After all, money can''t be spent until it reaches a certain level. It is just a bunch of numbers. It depends on how much money can be controlled! In this seemingly beautiful, but cruel world, still adheres to the law of survival of the weak. The level of a person''s social status is not determined by his personal resources, but by the social resources he can control. This is why the people at the bottom pay attention to the rich list and gossiping about who has the money, while the people at the top look at the corporate rankings, because the people at the top understand the nature of society better. Just like Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC, he is just a manager of HSBC, and his shares in HSBC are almost negligible. But what can this be? Still can''t hide the fact that he stomped and Xiangjiang was about to shake! Therefore, the 786 million Hong Kong dollars assets of Jiuding Securities can be used by Xia Yu. As long as you know this, it is enough! Of course, the company''s assets belong to assets, and market value or valuation is another matter. Market value and valuation look at profits, and total assets are more importantly related to status and influence. Compared with other industries, the financial industry is quite special! Two examples will be able to see the problem! First, the Goldman Sachs Group, which has a total assets of US$1.38 trillion in future generations, is not only large in scale, but also very special. However, despite this, its market value is only US$90 billion, which is less than one-tenth of its total assets! The second is Wells Fargo Bank in the United States, with total assets of US$1.3 trillion but a market value of around US$250 billion. The ratio of market value to total assets barely reaches 1:6. Therefore, if you do not consider the capital belonging to Xia Yu in Jiuding Securities Co., and how much the valuation of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. can be, you must combine profits and consider other factors to give a reasonable assessment. I don¡¯t know what is going on inside Jiuding Securities ~ www.novelhall.com~ Only when the profits of the two funds are announced at the end of the year, outsiders will have a more intuitive evaluation of Jiuding Securities. Now, outsiders¡¯ impressions and feelings of Jiuding Securities can actually be described by one word, that is mystery! Xia Yu intends to let this sense of mystery continue to be the most beneficial to him! After all, the unknown is the most terrifying and the most feared! After calculating the company''s wealth in his mind, Xia Yu already has the bottom line, and the more he can''t hold back the idea in his heart. Can do it! As long as it is done this time, he will really dive into the dragon''s door, and he won''t have to be as restrained as he is now! As long as the plan is successful, his strength will leap forward, and his Xia Daheng''s reputation is truly true! A glint flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, ready to make plans! Chapter 242: 9 Longcang, I want it! (2 in 1 large "Very well, your results during this period of time are very good, I am very satisfied!" Xia Yu said with a smile, made a conclusion, and looked at the three Wang Qi with admiration. All three of Wang Qi smiled, and then they were humble. "In the next period of time, I will leave Xiangjiang, as short as 20 days, as long as one or two months, so I will arrange some things." Xia Yu glanced across their faces and said slowly. The three of Wang Qi were shocked and focused more, looking at Xia Yu with piercing eyes, waiting for his order. "Jin Jiajun, Ai Lewen, the funds you manage are still developing according to your original route." Xia Yu first said to Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen, the two nodded to express their understanding. Wang Qi''s expression on the side became serious. From the boss''s tone, he knew that the things in his hands were about to change. Sure enough, Xia Yu said it next. "Wang Qi, your task is very heavy and crucial!" "Next, I will withdraw part of the funds, and the remaining funds, you will continue to buy the shares of Wharf for me, and buy while suppressing. Do not let the stock price of Wharf be too high. Before I come back, you must be in control. Under the premise of living in the stock price, buy as many stocks as possible!" Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi with a serious expression, and a firm gaze in his eyes showed that he was absolutely serious. Wang Qi nodded solemnly, but there was a mess in his heart. He hesitated for a while, ready to ask. After all, the boss¡¯s decision was too sudden, and it was obviously contrary to the position the boss told him about the investment in Wharf. "Boss, do you have an idea about Wharf?" Wang Qi said it euphemistically. After speaking, he looked straight at Xia Yu. Hearing Wang Qi''s words, Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen were shocked and looked at Xia Yu. Over the past few months, Xia Yu has not concealed them, otherwise they will easily have a knot in their hearts. The two of them also know that Wang Qi''s funds are invested in Wharf. It''s just that the boss''s attitude now seems to change his mind, and it doesn''t seem to mean pure investment. It''s just that the stock price of Wharf is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and Jiuding Securities can''t eat it! But the boss is absolutely impossible to lose his mind, so it means that he has a certain degree of certainty? ! Does the boss still have a family background that they don''t know, that''s why they dare to move this mind? Thinking of this, the two looked at Xia Yu closely, wanting to know the boss''s true thoughts. Xia Yu''s expression was serious, his gaze swept across the faces of the three of them. Seeing that they were all paying great attention, he slowly nodded and said what outsiders would definitely be amazed by: "Yes, I really want to buy Wharf! " As soon as these words came out, even though Wang Qi and the three had guessed, they still shook their minds and looked at Xia Yu in shock. They were really shocked by the sudden thoughts of the boss. The acquisition of Wharf is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do it! At the beginning of this year, Wharf¡¯s stock price bottomed out. Despite this, it still has a market value of more than 1.3 billion. Now, even with Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. secretly suppressing the stock price to cooperate with the acquisition, the stock price of Wharf still has risen by more than 100 million, reaching a market value of more than 1.4 billion. The total share capital of Wharf is 98 million shares, and now it has 20.97 million shares in the hands of Jiuding News, accounting for 21.4%. Although most of Wharf¡¯s shares are scattered in the market, there are 20.97 million shares missing. With so many stocks missing, Wharf¡¯s stock price has become more sensitive, and it is also difficult for Jiuding Securities to secretly suppress the stock price. Rise. It is also more difficult to hide the action! Therefore, the farther forward, Wharf¡¯s share price will rise faster, and it will not stagnate again until it reaches a reasonable level. "It''s just the boss, this is very difficult." Tangled for a while, Wang Qi said softly. In fact, the difficulty is not very big, but very special. As for the current stock price of Wharf, even if the stock price does not change, it will take more than 1.4 billion yuan to complete the acquisition. Even if it is absolutely controlled, it will cost 700 million Hong Kong dollars. However, the reality is, may Wharf''s share price remain unchanged? Calculating in this way, the money spent is even more! This is a question of funding! But sometimes, even if the money is enough, it is not just used out. Wang Qi has long understood the background of Wharf. Wharf is part of the Jardine Consortium and one of the main players. It is also one of the largest British-owned enterprise groups in Hong Kong. If you know the idea of ??Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. in the Wharf, the Jardine consortium will never sit back and watch. Jiuding Securities will definitely face the thunder blow from the Jardine consortium. By then, with the current strength of Jiuding Securities, it will definitely be the best. living! Therefore, it is no wonder that Wang Qi is not worried. "The difficulty is great, but since I put it forward, I have a certain degree of certainty!" "The problem of funding, I will solve it. Regardless of the problem of funding, how difficult do you find it?" A smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly. Wang Qi lifted his spirits and looked at Xia Yu abruptly. When he saw the boss'' confident and mysterious smile, he must be in his heart that his brain began to spin quickly, thinking about possibilities. According to the information he collected about Wharf, the shareholding structure of Wharf is somewhat special. Wharf and Land Group have always been called the Jardine Shuangyi, literally, they should be equal. But this is not the case! Jardine Land Group controls Land Group, while Land Land Holdings controls Wharf. With the changes over the years, HeungKong Land Group actually owns no more than 20% of Wharf. In this way, Jiuding Securities is now the largest shareholder of Wharf on paper, and it has replaced the Land Group considered outside. Although the Jardine Group is holding the Land Group, the actual shareholding ratio is not very high. Therefore, even if Jiuding Securities wants to acquire the Wharf, the Jardine Group will fight back through the Xiangjiang Land Group. The operation difficulty is greatly increased. As long as Jiuding Securities can handle it, then as time goes by, Jiuding Securities will still have a chance. Of course, if Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has sufficient funds, before the Jardine Group and Land Group can react, it would be better to take away the victory in one wave! Thinking about it this way, it is still possible for Jiuding Securities to acquire Wharf. It is not a whimsical one! But there is only one prerequisite for all this, that is, Jiuding Securities must be able to get so much money! Otherwise, I have relied on HSBC''s ten times high leverage to buy so many stocks. If Jardine Group or Land Group knew about it, Jiuding Securities would have a fatal weakness. If they are determined to fight for damage and also suppress the stock price, if Jiuding Securities does not have enough funds to support it, if the position is liquidated, then everything will stop! And if the Land Group launches bidding like a previous life, and gives a price of more than one hundred Hong Kong dollars per share, the stock price of Wharf will be lifted to a market value of 10 billion. If you want to hold a stake, Xia Yu will be like Bao Yugang. At least two or three billion Hong Kong dollars have to be spent, and it can only be worth 50% of the holding line. So sufficient funds are the foundation of everything! Without funds, it is a delusion! The question is, can boss Xia Yu really get one billion Hong Kong dollars in funds? Thinking of this, Wang Qi looked inquisitive and said, "Boss, if the funds are sufficient and the preparations are sufficient, it is still very possible. It is just the funds..." Before Wang Qi finished speaking, Xia Yu directly interrupted him and said: "I will solve the capital issue. Since it is possible, then you will start from now to make an acquisition plan. Isn''t it okay?" Naturally, Xia Yu could not tell Wang Qi that he would go to Europe to gamble and he would definitely make money. If you really said that, Wang Qi and Ai Lewen would definitely think he was crazy. After all, no one would think that he could win a gamble, unless he was the **** of gamblers! Xia Yu is not a god, but he is a rebirth, so he can do it naturally. It''s just that you can''t tell them about this, so the source of funds can only be kept secret. And Xia Yu also wanted to hide the funds after winning the gambling. Then, he would naturally use a good shell to get the funds over, so as to cover people''s eyes and eyes, so that people could not see his fiction. Wang Qi nodded heavily and said firmly: "No problem!" Since the boss doesn¡¯t say it, it¡¯s inconvenient for him to ask more, so being a boss can solve the problem. If the boss can¡¯t put out the funds in the end, it¡¯s a big deal to give up, which is a waste of his time and energy. Thinking of this, Wang Qi''s mentality became more stable. "By the way, boss, how much money do you need to take with you?" Wang Qi asked. Xia Yu listened and thought about it. Going out of Europe to gamble this time is not to say that the more money he brings, the better, nor is it to say that he can take it and take it, gamble big and earn more. In Europe, there are still many families with thousands of years, and there are countless old families of hundreds of years, and there are also many large and small consortia. None of the large European gaming companies are simple, they are controlled by large families and consortia, and betting on this kind of thing is naturally closer to black. If Xia Yu really thought that the gaming company opened a shantang, and the Golden Mountain of the World Cup was unattended, and gambled hard, there would only be one result! That is the life of the money and the life of the flower! He was even killed in the middle of the bet! Therefore, how much he should earn is neither to be discovered, nor to make others ashamed to get rid of him, but also to earn as much as possible to add hope to his acquisition of Wharf. The degree of this can only be determined after he arrives in Europe and learns about the major gaming companies. Now, his eyes were blackened, he was definitely not coming! However, one thing is certain, that is, he does not need to bring too much money in the past, it is better to leave more money for Wang Qi to buy the shares in Wharf. After careful consideration, Xia Yu said, "Prepare two million pounds for me, and go to HSBC to exchange it." It is 1978. Since 1972, the Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the US dollar, so the official exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar has maintained a stable level of 4.6 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar from 1974 to the present. The British pound is also very strong, 1 pound to 1.92 US dollars, so now 1 pound is 8.832 Hong Kong dollars. With this calculation, two million pounds would be exchanged for 17.764 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu took 17.64 million Hong Kong dollars, and Jiuding Securities will have more than 130 million Hong Kong dollars left in its hands. This should be enough for Jiuding Securities to increase its holdings in Wharf to 30%. If this fund also leverages ten times the financial leverage, it will be more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if someone accidentally discovered the secret purchase in the middle, Jiuding Securities has a strong ability to protect itself with such a large sum of money. However, Xia Yu does not intend to use leverage for this fund. First, because there will not be too many stocks circulated outside, it is not necessary to use leverage. More than 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be enough for the time being. When the funds come back, it is the beginning of the highlight. The second is that as long as the leverage is used, the account will be supervised by HSBC. Xia Yu''s account has already been supervised by HSBC, and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. said it is an investment, but it still barely connects. But if you add a sum of capital to more than 100 million funds, and leverage leverage to buy Wharf stocks, it will be a lice on the monk''s head, obviously! Therefore, as a last resort, Xia Yu is not prepared to use financial leverage anymore, unless he has his own bank to provide leverage. The third is that there are too many funds. If the acquisition is exposed and Xia Yu does not come back to personally control it, Wang Qi may not be able to control the situation. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he Xia Yu is the **** of stocks, but Wang Qi is not. With him in Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., the deterrent power of outsiders is completely different! "By the way, open some accounts for each of my multiple private banks in Switzerland, and deposit these two million pounds separately." Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of something and said. "Ok!" Wang Qi nodded heavily. Then, Xia Yu and Wang Qi talked for a while, and then sent them away. After the three of Wang Qi left, Xia Yu got up and walked in the office, then stood in front of the window, watching the turbulent crowd outside, his thoughts began to diverge, and many things came to mind. Before, Xia Yu hadn''t thought about acquiring Wharf, the value of Wharf is not big, is he still not clear? The subsequent generation of Wharf Group, after continuous development, by 2014, assets reached 445 billion Hong Kong dollars. So now the Wharf is definitely a pearl covered in dust, waiting for people who know the goods to pick it up, wipe it clean, and shine again. So for Wharf, Xia Yu is also very greedy. But he did not lose his mind. Considering his strength, he couldn''t eat the Wharf at all. Li Chaoren was frightened by the power of the Jardine Consortium and did not dare to touch the Wharf, so he could only throw this hot piece of gold to Bao Yugang, the ship king. Of course, in this life, Li Chaoren did not send anyone to secretly purchase the shares in Wharf. Xia Yu guessed that it was probably because the emergence of Jiuding Newspaper Company affected the structure of the newspaper industry. As a result, Li Chaoren was not as unexpected as his previous life. I read other people''s analysis of Wharf from a newspaper, and sent people to understand Wharf further and finally moved their minds. Having said that, Xia Yu is the same. Knowing that the Wharf is a treasure, but unable to pick it in, he is not reconciled. It is absolutely false. Only Xia Yu had the deepest experience of the feeling of aggrieved and unwillingness. However, due to reality, he still had to bow his head, so I thought about it again and again, before Xia Yu had to reluctantly give up this idea, and instead made the best possible profit to grow himself. Therefore, the acquisition of so many Wharf shares was originally sold to Bao Yugang, to make a fortune from Bao Yugang, and then to develop his own. But who knows that when he suddenly discovered the world-class opportunity of the World Cup, Xia Yu''s calm heart became active again, and the more he pondered, the more possible he became. Since it is possible for him to catch the jewel of Wharf in his own hands, Xia Yu would not be polite. If he didn''t seize this opportunity and didn''t try to win it, he would never forgive himself. As for if the Wharf was acquired, what should Bao Yugang, the ship king who should be acquired in the original history, do? This question only appeared in Xia Yu''s mind for a moment, and then disappeared in a flash. Even if Xia Yu admires the ship king Bao Yugang again, it is impossible for him to give up the Wharf. Since being born again, what Xia Yu can do is to let himself live happily and cross the world. If you consider this, consider whether it will affect others, or feel guilty for stealing something that should belong to others, then Xia Yu doesn''t need to do business, just find a mountain forest for a lifetime. So if the Wharf was really acquired, Xia Yu would say sorry to Bao Yugang in his heart, and even help him in the future without affecting himself. But Wharf, it is impossible for him to give up! So, charter king, sorry! Wharf, I want it! Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, clenched his fists tightly, and said inwardly. PS: There are two main bodies, the Jardine Consortium and the Jardine Group. It is not a misnomer, but a deliberate consideration. The Jardine Matheson Group refers to the consortium formed by the major groups with Jardine Matheson as its core group, and the Jardine Matheson Group refers to a single company of the Jardine Matheson Group. Don''t get me wrong. (It is written in the chapter, and friends on the outside station will not see it, and there will be misunderstandings. Therefore, if the number of words does not reach 200 words, there is no charge. Don''t worry!) Chapter 243: Li Wuming In the evening, after eating, Yan Shining was supposed to drove Yan Hong to the Chunqiu Medical Center for an examination, but Xia Yu thought for a while and stopped Yan Shining, who had just wanted to go out, and prepared to go with them. £ªWWW.suimeng.l¨¡ After all, I have to leave Xiangjiang for a period of time. After such a long time of communication, the relationship between Xia Yu and Li Chunqiu''s family is also very good, so I naturally want to tell them. Of course, the most important thing was that Xia Yu went abroad and Yan Shining, a personal bodyguard, had to follow him anyway. Yan Hong is still undergoing treatment. Every few days, Yan Shining will take him to the Chunqiu Medical Center to look for Li Chunqiu for an inspection, but after Yan Shining goes abroad with Xia Yu, there is nothing he can do. Perhaps the driver Xie Pingan will send Yan Hong over by himself. It was for these reasons that Xia Yu thought for a while, it was better to go there in person, and walk around more by the way, after all, friendship came out. Soon, Xia Yu''s car stopped at the entrance of the Chunqiu Medical Center. Hearing the sound of the familiar engine, Li Chunqiu walked out from behind the screen in the house. When he saw Xia Yu walking out besides Yan Shining and his sons, Li Chunqiu''s kind smile on his face grew a little more. "Xia Sheng, you are here too!" Li Chunqiu nodded at Yan Shining, then looked at Xia Yu, stroked his long white beard, and said with a faint smile. "Master, I''m here to chat again!" Xia Yu smiled heartily and said loudly. "Hehe, welcome, I am happy every day you come. What do you say, go, sit inside." Li Chunqiu said happily, and then walked in with Xia Yu and others. "Xia Sheng, I will show Yan Hong first, you can sit down here." When Li Chunqiu inspected Yan Hong, both Yan Shining and Xia Yu heard sounds coming from the courtyard, which seemed to be fighting. They all know that Li Chunqiu''s eldest son Li Wuyang practices martial arts every day, but the voices of a person practicing martial arts and two people fighting are completely different. Now it is obvious that someone is fighting inside. So who is Li Wuyang fighting at so late? And still fighting in his yard? Both of them were a little surprised and curious, looked at each other, and walked towards the courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, Xia Yu saw two big men fighting fiercely. One of them was Li Wuyang. During the fight, Xia Yu found that the face of another adult man was also very similar to Li Wuyang. He suddenly had a guess in his heart. It seemed that Li Chunqiu had said that he still had a young son. Could it be this man? As early as when Yan Shining and Xia Yu came in, the two fighting in the field found out, but the two were still fighting and didn''t care about Xia Yu. At this moment, the middle-aged man who was supposed to be Li Chunqiu''s youngest son was beaten back by Li Wuyang''s Tai Chi Sanshou, but he immediately discovered the offense. "Drink!" I saw his body move, his legs bent slightly, his upper body was slightly bent, his glared eyes were wide, his hands were vacantly bent, like a tiger roaring proudly in the mountains, he roared sharply, and then with a flick of his legs, he jumped to Li Wuyang viciously. Pounced fiercely. "Tiger-shaped fist!" Standing next to Xia Yu, Yan Shining said in a low voice with a solemn expression, staring at his movements. Xingyi and Baji are all kung fu with strong offensive power in the national arts. And seeing the tiger-shaped fist he used, it was obvious that he had achieved the essence. Even if he stood far away, Yan Shining still felt the momentum of the middle-aged man emanating like a tiger descending a mountain. What a profound skill! He has only seen this level of Xingyi Quan in the past 30 years, and that was when he was in the army, an old man sent from above performed it once, and one person easily repelled ten troops. Good hand, convinced everyone. It¡¯s a pity that the old man seems to have come to choose someone, and he did not choose the one who is eye-catching. Only Yan Shining has entered his eyes for the whole army, but it is a pity that Yan Shining has already learned Bajiquan, and finally the old man can only be disappointed. To leave. I just didn''t expect to see Xingyiquan at the level of the old man, and it still appeared on a mature man. This is incredible! Talent is absolutely powerful! And this person''s kung fu is better than him! Even though he had never really fought, Yan Shining still came up with a judgment after pondering for a while. Although he didn''t want to admit it, his instinct told him that this was the truth. You don¡¯t see Li Wuyang, who was evenly matched by him before, but now he is also showing a decline! Yan Shining could see it, but Xia Yu couldn''t. He was curious, and asked Yan Shining in a low voice, "Big Brother Yan, who is the best among them?" "The Ren who fought with Li Wuyang has the upper hand." Yan Shining said truthfully, speaking more euphemistically. After all, even if the two of them were fighting, their kung fu had reached a high level, their vision and hearing were very keen, and they could definitely be heard. "How does that compare to you?" Xia Yu asked again. "I know it after comparing it!" This question of Xia Yu involved the dignity of the martial artist. Although in my heart I felt that the middle-aged man was better than him, Yan Shining would not say it personally before he had beaten him, so he said solemnly. "Oh? Then let''s Bibi!" Just as Yan Shining finished speaking, the middle-aged man who was fighting with Li Wuyang beat Li Wuyang back with a snake-like punch, and then slammed into Yan Shining with a kick on his legs. "Boss, get out, I will meet him!" The middle-aged man made a special reminder before attacking, so Yan Shining immediately raised his twelve-point spirit, said a word to Xia Yu, and rushed towards him. "Boom bang bang..." Suddenly, the two of them fought fiercely. The sound of the collision of arms and fists entered Xia Yu''s ears, and watching their fierce battle, Xia Yu only felt blood surge. However, Xia Yu''s heart also raised, worrying about Yan Shining''s safety. After all, Yan Shi would rather be his bodyguard, and he naturally didn''t want him to be injured. At this moment, Li Wuyang, who was repulsed, withdrew from the battlefield and came to Xia Yu. He said apologetically, "Xia Sheng, this is my brother Wu Ming. He is a martial idiot. When you see a master, you want to communicate and communicate. Don''t mind, and the two of them know in their hearts that they know the importance of starting." Xia Yu looked at Li Wuyang, who was sweating, but refreshed. After hearing what he said, he relaxed and said with a smile: "Brother Li, it turns out that this is your brother. I said he looks like you. , I have heard you say many times, and now I see him for the first time." "Haha, he has been looking for people to communicate with people in Southeast Asia before. He just came back yesterday, and we haven''t seen him for almost half a year." Li Wuyang said with a smile, with a hint of helplessness on his face, as if there was nothing he could do with his younger brother. "Baji is right for Xingyi, this collision is fierce!" After speaking, Li Wuyang looked at the two fighting in the field. The battle between Yan Shining and Li Wuming was a bit more intense than that of his Li Wuming. He couldn''t help but admire. Xia Yu nodded in agreement, indeed, even if he was a rookie, he could tell something from the surface of the battle. Li Wuyang practiced Tai Chi like him. Tai Chi is for Xingyi, and Baji is for Xingyi. There is naturally a gap. "Aming, it''s almost enough to fight, Shi Ning is not like you have nothing to do all day, he is also responsible for Xia Sheng''s safety." Seeing that the two people fought for a while again had an escalation situation, Li Wuyang shouted loudly, stopping them from continuing. "boom!" As Li Wuyang''s words just fell, Yan Shining and Li Wuming punched Zhuang, separated their bodies, and stood together looking at each other. "Happy! Haha!" "You are strong!" "Hahaha!" The two complimented each other, then smiled at each other, and the relationship got closer, as if they became good friends. "Eight-pole Yan Shining!" "Xingyi Li Wuming!" The two clasped each other''s fists and gave a solemn introduction. After that, the two smiled and walked towards Xia Yu and Li Wuyang. Chapter 244: Goods and Emperors House "Aming, let me introduce to you. This is Xia Sheng, but a business tycoon. ¨�§»§ë§ê.sUimEnG.l¨¡" When Li Wuming came to the front, Li Wuyang introduced Xia Yu to his younger brother. "A tycoon is an ordinary businessman with the smell of copper." Xia Yu said with a smile, then solemnly stretched out his hand to Li Wuming and said, "Hello, my name is Xia Yu." "Hello, I am Li Wuming!" A smile appeared on Li Wuming''s cold face, and he shook hands with Xia Yu. It seems that because he rarely laughs, Li Wuming''s smile looks a little blunt, but he can feel his sincerity in his tone. At this moment, Li Chunqiu brought Yan Hong over and saw Xia Yu and Li Wuming know each other, and smiles suddenly appeared on his faces. "Xia Sheng, I also want to introduce you to you. It seems that if you know each other, I don''t need to talk too much, haha!" Li Chunqiu smiled heartily. Then, he said to Yan Shining, "Yanhong''s health has improved a lot, just continue to take medicine." "Thank you Dr. Li!" Yan Shining said gratefully. "Come on, don''t stand, sit inside." Li Chunqiu greeted him and took everyone to the back room and made tea by himself. Although it was not the first time I saw him, Xia Yu couldn''t help but admire every time he saw Li Chunqiu''s tea making skills. Li Chunqiu''s tea-making technique is purely incomparable. The flowing movements are pleasing to the eye, and the tea tastes very good. Xia Yu''s superb tea-making technique is inferior to Li Chunqiu''s. . "Good tea!" After taking a sip, Xia Yu exhaled heavily and exclaimed. After listening, Li Chunqiu stroked the snow-white long beard, showing a faint smile. "Xia Sheng, this is the wild tea that I personally picked and fried, and there are many more. You will bring some back later when you go back." Li Chunqiu said with a smile. "Then I will have a blessing, I will be welcome." Xia Yu smiled. Li Chunqiu smiled and nodded, happy about Xia Yu''s absence. After three rounds of tea, Xia Yu put down the cup. "Master, this time I come here mainly to tell you that I will be going abroad for a period of time in a few days, and Brother Yan will also go with me, so during this time I will ask my driver to send Yan Hong over. Please also Take care of you." Xia Yu said sincerely. Yan Shining also looked at Li Chunqiu, his eyes full of requests. "This is a trivial matter, no problem. Don''t worry, I will definitely take care of it." Li Chunqiu stroked his long beard and nodded gently. After Xia Yu and Yan Shining thanked Li Chunqiu, everyone chatted, and before they knew it, the topic came to Li Wuming. "Second Brother Li, where did you grow up before? I have known your family for so long. This is the first time I have seen you." Xia Yu looked at Li Wuming and asked. In order not to appear unfamiliar, Xia Yu didn''t put on any gowns, but kindly called Li Wuming''s second brother to appear closer. To tell the truth, Xia Yu was very curious about Li Wu, who was younger than his elder brothers Li Wuyang and Yan Shining, but he had the strongest skills. Such a very capable person would naturally be very interested in Xia Yu. Li Wuming showed a smile and said, "I have been honing Kungfu in Southeast Asia." Seeing that Li Wuming just simply said one sentence and didn¡¯t say anything, Li Chunqiu took the conversation and said to Xia Yu: ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised at Xia Sheng, his personality is like this, his talent is better than his elder brother, and Wu Chengzhi is so good. When his kung fu has reached a bottleneck, I suggest that he go to Southeast Asia to find high-level invitations to fight in order to improve his strength in actual combat. This time he learned something and returned." "Oh, I see!" Xia Yu gave a kiss, revealing the color of comprehension. "Then how long are you going to stay after this time?" "Look at him, but my opinion is to let him relax as much as possible, and to relax in martial arts, not to mention that he has broken through, and naturally he will settle for a while." Li Chunqiu smiled and stroked his long beard, obviously satisfied with his second son. At this time, Li Chunqiu, who had observed Xia Yu for a while, felt a little dignified and asked: "By the way, Xia Sheng, if you are going abroad this time, will you take Yan Shining alone?" "No, there is a secretary, and an old subordinate of Brother Yan, four of them will go together." Xia Yu spoke out his plan easily without keeping it secret. Li Chunqiu nodded silently, was silent for a while, glanced at Li Wuming who was sitting quietly, and in Xia Yu''s puzzled eyes, he said: "Xia Yu, or let Aming go with you too, and see you Whether the world is good, it can also protect your safety." Hearing about himself, Li Wuming looked at his father with calm eyes, then looked at Xia Yu, then looked back and said that he had no opinion. But Xia Yu was a little surprised and a little surprised. He looked at Li Chunqiu and blurted out, "Master Li, what are you?" Li Wuming''s ability is so strong, it is definitely more than enough to serve Xia Yu as a bodyguard. Just now Xia Yu had thought of recruiting Li Wuming under his command, but he was embarrassed to speak up. But I didn''t expect Li Chunqiu to take the initiative to bring Li Wuming to the door. How could this not surprise Xia Yu. Of course, Xia Yu did not think that Li Chunqiu had any bad ideas. After so long together, Xia Yu also learned some of Li Chunqiu''s personality. He is usually indifferent and the association with him is truly sincere, so For Li Chunqiu, Xia Yu is very relieved. "Xia Sheng, Aming doesn''t know much about other abilities except martial arts. He has to find something to do. If you don''t dislike it, let him be your bodyguard. Yan Shining has limited energy alone, and sometimes it is unavoidable. Not so much." "How can I dislike it, I can''t ask for it!" Seeing that Li Chunqiu was serious, Xia Yu didn''t think much about other things, and quickly agreed to talk about it, so he said quickly. Li Chunqiu smiled and nodded, then looked at Li Wuming, who was not changing his face, and said solemnly: "Aming, you will follow Xia Sheng from now on, and you must do your best to protect Xia Sheng''s safety." Li Wuming nodded and said firmly: "Good father." "Second Brother Li, I will trouble you in the future, please take care of me!" Xia Yu said with a smile to Li Wuming, his mood still agitated, how upset he was to get a peerless bodyguard. "rest assured!" Li Wuming nodded to Xia Yu, and said firmly. "Boss, congratulations!" Seeing this, Yan Shining also smiled and congratulated Xia Yu. He was not upset. He recognized Li Wuming''s strength very much. To be honest, since then, until now, Xia Yu has not encountered a very dangerous situation. He can take care of it alone, but After the country, he didn''t know what would happen to him. He naturally couldn''t ask for an extra helper, so he was happy for Xia Yu from the heart. After that, he sat in Li Chunqiu''s home for a while. After Xia Yu and Li Wuming talked about the departure time, they left with Yan Shining and Yan Hong. The three of Li Chunqiu and his son sent Xia Yu and others to the door and watched his car drive away from the hospital. Li Wuming retracted his gaze and finally couldn''t help but ask: "Father, why?" He didn''t understand why his father was so kind to Xia Yu. Li Chunqiu glanced at him and said, "You have amazing talents in learning civil and martial arts, goods and emperors. If you were in ancient times, you would definitely be a fierce fighter on the battlefield, but now the times have changed, you are like you. Ability, not to join the army, it¡¯s troublesome to use it. Being a bodyguard is indeed a good choice. You can¡¯t find someone to learn from you all your life. You stay at home all the time, right?" Li Wuming nodded silently, agreeing with his father''s statement. "Since you want to invest, you naturally have to invest when others need it to show its effect. It happens that Xia Sheng needs it now." "He went abroad this time, it can be described as a fish jumped over the dragon gate. It was when the Qianlong came out of the abyss. As the so-called fortune and misfortune, no one can say that it is bad, but Xia Sheng does have an unlimited future. He will invest in him, for you, and even later generations. , I can rest assured." Li Chunqiu looked at the starry night sky and said quietly. "Father, I understand, I will do my best to protect Xia Sheng''s safety." Li Wuming nodded heavily, and made a decision in his heart. Li Wuyang patted Li Wuming on the shoulder, everything is said without saying. Chapter 245: Swiss Bank (2 in 1 large Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport is located in the urban area of ??Hong Kong, on the south bank of the Kowloon Peninsula, on the shore of Victoria Harbour; the original name is Kai Tak Airport, the name comes from the original place name of the original site in the early 20th century, "Kai Tak Bin", the official name was Hong Kong from 1962 to closure International Airport or Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport. ?§ê§ë§».suimEnG.1a This morning, a row of all black Mercedes drove into the Kai Tak International Airport. After the car stopped, many people got off the car. These people are Xia Yu and others. On this trip to England, Xia Yu brought Yan Shining, Li Qian, Li Wuming, and Yan Shining''s old men, Hou Sheng, who had been a scout. Originally, after having Li Wuming, Xia Yu planned not to bring other people, but later considering that he and Li Qian need protection, Yan Shining and Li Wuming may sometimes be overwhelmed, so he listened. Yan Shining''s opinion brought Hou Sheng, who has the most sensitive sense of smell and the strongest anti-reconnaissance ability. Along with Xia Yu and others, there were Wang Qi, Yan Wenhan, Gavin Peter and Ma Tengdong. They all negotiated to send Xia Yu. There was no need to be so troublesome, but after all, it was the heart of his subordinates, and he was not easy to refuse, and Xia Yu did not object. After receiving a bulging wallet from Wang Qi, Xia Yu looked at his watch, then looked at Wang Qi and the other four. "Just send it here, and you should go back soon. When I''m not in Xiangjiang, I will beg you!" Xia Yu slowly swept across the faces of Wang Qi and others, and said with a smile. "Boss rest assured!" "Boss, don''t worry!" ... The four of them nodded and said, their faces full of solemnity. "I am leaving!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the airport ticket hall. Just a few steps away, he heard a familiar voice coming from far and near, and at the same time, there was the roar of the engine. "Xia Yu, wait!" It''s He Chaoqiong''s voice! Xia Yu turned his head to follow the prestige, and saw a car coming from a distance, the window opened, and He Chaoqiong was popping his head out, waving and shouting at him. Xia Yu couldn''t help but stop and smiled. The four Wang Qi, who had originally wanted to wait, looked at each other and knew that this occasion was not suitable to stay any longer, so the four each got in the car and drove out of the airport. Soon, the car stopped in front of Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong immediately opened the door, jumped out of the car and ran towards Xia Yu, standing in front of Xia Yu, with a complicated expression on her pretty little face, whispering softly. : "Xia Yu, are you leaving now?" "Ok!" Glancing at He Youguang coming out from the other side of the car, Xia Yu nodded towards him, then looked at He Chaoqiong, nodded and said: "Why are you here?" "You have to go so long, I''ll see you off!" He Chaoqiong tried to make herself smile and said. Xia Yu remembered that when He Chaoqiong was talking on the phone with his sister Xia Xiaomei the night before, he also answered a little bit. He Chaoqiong learned from Xia Xiaomei that Xia Yu was going to the UK, and then asked him, Xia Yu also casually told the time of the plane''s departure. He Chaoqiong, but she didn''t expect that she would run over to send him off. "Thank you!" Xia Yu smiled at He Chaoqiong and said sincerely, He Chaoqiong was in a much better mood. "I am so good with you, don''t say thank you." He Chaoqiong said with a small mouth, and couldn''t help looking at Li Qian who was standing quietly behind Xia Yu. Seeing Li Qian''s enchanting figure and angelic face, He Chaoqiong felt a little ashamed of herself. She pursed her mouth, and couldn''t help comparing herself with Li Qian, but found sadly that Li Qian was indeed more than her. charming. He Chaoqiong had a sense of crisis when he learned from his brother that Xia Yu had hired a female secretary, but he didn''t see a specific person after all, so the sense of crisis was not too strong. But when she saw it suddenly, her instinct told her that this kind of woman was very attractive to men, so at this moment, her sense of crisis rose sharply. However, even though He Chaoqiong had an idea in her heart, she did not dare to show it. After all, although she and Xia Yu are very close, at most they are more than friends and lovers are not satisfied. There is no clear relationship. So she was not qualified to manage Xia Yu, and expressed her views or opinions on Xia Yu''s recruitment of a female secretary. Moreover, Xia Yu is a big boss after all, and it''s normal to have a female secretary beside him, but He Chaoqiong feels like it. "This sister, are you Xia Yu''s secretary? You look so beautiful!" He Chaoqiong''s heart moved, with a look of hope, and asked Li Qian. Li Qian felt a little embarrassed when He Chaoqiong praised her, but she was still happy. "Yes, I am the boss''s secretary, you are also very beautiful!" Li Qian tapped her head softly and said softly. He Chaoqiong''s heart was shaken as soon as the sound that made people feel so crisp, and the sense of crisis rose sharply. Seeing the seemingly harmonious dialogue between He Chaoqiong and Li Qian, Xia Yu was a little embarrassed, but he did not show it because of the thick-skinned. But when he looked at He Youguang, he saw the meaningful gaze in He Youguang''s slightly narrowed eyes. "Boss, it''s almost time!" At this moment, Yan Shining looked at his watch and reminded. At this moment, Yan Shining''s words were like the sound of nature. Xia Yu looked at his watch and just wanted to speak, but he didn''t expect He Chaoqiong to speak first. "Xia Yu, go quickly, don''t miss the plane." Although very reluctant, He Chaoqiong said thoughtfully. Xia Yu nodded, looked at He Youguang and He Chaoqiong, and apologized: "He Sheng, Chao Qiong, thank you for coming to see me off. It''s getting late, I''ll leave first, and I will talk to you when I come back! " "Xia Sheng take care!" He Youguang waved at Xia Yu and said in a deep voice. "Goodbye Xia Yu, you must tell me when you come back!" "Definitely, goodbye!" After speaking, Xia Yu turned around with Yan Shining and his party and walked toward the hall without looking back. He Youguang looked back at Xia Yu''s fading figure until he disappeared from the field of vision, and said to the stunned He Chaoqiong: "Chao Qiong, let''s go, he has already checked the ticket!" "Oh!" He Chaoqiong let out a soft cry, but still didn''t take it back. He You frowned and thought of Xia Yu''s fairy-like secretary. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he didn''t really understand Xia Yu, so it seemed that he was doing something wrong to indulge his sister and Xia Yu! It''s just that at this time, his sister has obviously fallen into it, which makes him very big. Men know men best and save others by themselves. After seeing Li Qian, He Youguang seriously doubted Xia Yu''s intentions. Even if Xia Yu promised not to be tempted by Li Qian in front of him, he would never believe it. He Youguang knows very well that it is difficult to expect a man not to steal fishy, ??especially to count on a rich and powerful man who is not tempted by beauty, that is even more fantastic! Comprehension is comprehension, but when it comes to his sister, you can''t just think in terms of reason. After hesitating for a while, He Youguang made a decision in his heart. He woke up He Chaoqiong and looked at his sister''s suspicious eyes. He solemnly asked, "Chaoqiong, do you really like him?" Unexpectedly, my brother would ask such a question. He Chaoqiong, like a frightened deer, quickly quibbleed: "No, how can I like him? Xia Yu and I are good friends, really good friends." "Chao Qiong, brother told you clearly, I think you can also feel the attitude of my father and me on this matter. I thought that you and him are very suitable, not only for you, but also for the family, so I indulge you and He came and went, but now it seems too sloppy, are you sure he likes you?" He You''s gaze was like a torch, as if he could see through people''s hearts, he looked straight at He Chaoqiong and said. Hearing his brother''s question, He Chaoqiong couldn''t help but calm down and started thinking. Although her face was still burning, she was also asking herself if Xia Yu really liked her. She felt that Xia Yu liked her at first, but somehow she thought of Zhong Chuhong, Lin Ruofu, and now another more beautiful Li Qian, he became less confident and fell into self-doubt. Seeing his sister''s constantly changing face, He Youguang did not urge, but waited quietly. He needs to know his sister¡¯s accurate attitude. If the younger sister really likes Xia Yu, then he will help them both. How can he also clarify the status of the younger sister? As for whether Xia Yu will have other women in the future, he doesn¡¯t care. Because this is almost a doomed thing and cannot be stopped. After all, he didn''t say that his father had so many wives, but he knew that there were no big brothers, no confidantes or lovers in Hong Kong Aomen. If this kind of thing is unavoidable, then try to minimize the impact. If it really drags on like this, his sister gets trapped, and Xia Yu has a relationship with other people, then it will be the worst for them! Of course, if it is determined that He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu can''t get together, he will act immediately. It is not too late to stop the possibility of his sister and Xia Yu''s continued development in time. As for whether it will affect his father He Hongshen''s plan, he I don''t want to think about it anymore, he still values ??family affection more seriously. Without letting He Youguang wait too long, He Chaoqiong finally figured it out. She looked at her brother He Youguang seriously, blushing and nodded and said: "Brother, I like him, he is really good, I believe he likes me too!" Hearing this result, He Youguang closed his eyes and sighed to the sky. After opening his eyes, he looked at He Chaoqiong who was a little uneasy. He Youguang stroked her hair and said lovingly: "Brother knows, but since this is your own choice, don''t regret it, you know?" "I know, do you mean he will have other women? Daddy also married so many wives. Isn''t the family harmonious? I don''t care, I only know that I like him, I don''t care about the others!" He Chaoqiong looked at the white jade pendant she was wearing on her chest, she gently held it, and a smile appeared on her face, then she raised her head, looking straight at the somewhat surprised He Youguang and said. He Youguang didn''t expect his sister to have such thoughts, which made him very surprised, but after another thought, he was relieved. It¡¯s normal to live in a family of your own kind, and it¡¯s normal to have a few wives for a man than an average woman. It hasn''t been a few years since Xiangjiang legally abolished polygamy. Now many rich and powerful people, many people have more than one wife. Although it is easy to abolish polygamy on paper, people''s deep-rooted concepts cannot be eliminated so easily. Moreover, in a place where the family concept of Xiangjiang is supreme, the big wealthy families recognize the genealogy, and the marriage certificate issued by the government does not have any convincing power in the genealogy. Even if the marriage certificate has a name, but the genealogy cannot be listed, it means that the family does not agree. ; And even if you have married a few and did not receive a marriage certificate, but there is a name on the family tree, it represents the recognition of the entire family and other families in Xiangjiang will also recognize it. Therefore, such things as marriage certificates have a strong binding force on ordinary people, and the big Chinese families in Hong Kong do not value this thing at all. ... Moreover, as far as He Youguang knows, his father originally wanted him to marry more wives and breed more children for the family, but he fell in love with an English woman, which is now his wife Suki. Due to cultural concepts, suki He certainly couldn''t accept that he had other wives, so his father He Hongshen had to dispel that idea. "Okay, I see, wait for him to come back! Let''s go home first!" After that, He Youguang took He Chaoqiong into the car and went home. Along the way, the car was very quiet. He Chaoqiong completely said what was in his heart and relaxed a lot. At this time, he was thinking about Xia Yu, while He Youguang was considering how to deal with this matter and how to discuss with his father''s reaction. The two brothers and sisters with different minds remained silent all the way until they returned home. ... Xia Yu bought first-class cabins. Li Qian sat next to him, Yan Shining and Hou Sheng sat behind him, and Li Wuming sat in front of him. Having nothing to do, Xia Yu opened the handbag and took out the wallet Wang Qi gave him. It''s a wallet, but it''s not. It''s more appropriate to say it''s a card holder. After opening the card package, there are bank cards one by one. The sum of these cards is two million pounds. These cards are the anonymous cards of the Swiss bank that Xia Yu arranged for Wang Qi to handle. Since he was going to bet on football, Xia Yu naturally had to think carefully and try his best not to be discovered by others, so the bank account that was most easily discovered by others had to be kept secret. Of course, it is necessary to apply for anonymous bank cards from Swiss private banks. When it comes to Swiss Bank, many people first feel that it is a Swiss bank. It is not wrong to say that it is a bank, but in fact, in this era, Swiss Bank refers to a Swiss bank, not a single bank. Usually, the Swiss bank in the Chinese people''s concept refers to the bank of the UBS Group, referred to as UBS. But you must know that UBS was actually formed by the merger of two major Swiss banks, Union Bank of Switzerland and Swiss Banking Group, in 1998. In 1978, UBS did not exist at all. Therefore, Swiss Bank refers to Swiss banks more appropriately. There are many reasons for the development of the Swiss banking industry. Operation and management is one aspect, but what makes it most famous is the confidentiality system of the Swiss banking industry. Swiss Bank has a strict confidentiality mechanism. The ¡°Swiss Banking Law¡± stipulates that banks must protect the confidentiality of their dealings with customers and customer property status to third parties. Violators shall not only bear relevant civil liabilities, but also be subject to criminal law sanctions. Customers all over the world can safely deposit their property in a Swiss bank or entrust it to handle the relevant business without worrying about being notified by a third party or freezing their accounts. And because Switzerland is a permanently neutral country and is not restricted by any country, Swiss Bank has become the safest and most confidential bank in the world But unfortunately, under the big stick of the United States, Switzerland Finally bowed his head, and the top-secret door that had been sealed for hundreds of years under the Alps began to open to the world. However, in 1978, everything had not happened yet, Xia Yu was relieved to use these anonymous bank accounts, even the bank customer service staff did not know the identity of the account owner. And these bank accounts are not concentrated in one bank, but many banks have them. Such as UBS, Swiss Bank Group, Credit Suisse Bank, Swiss People''s Bank, Julius Baer Bank, Zurich Canton Bank, and so on. With the anonymous accounts opened by these banks, Xia Yu is more confident in this action, and he dares to gamble more money! Just as Xia Yu was looking forward to a bright future, the plane rushed off the ground into the blue sky. Looking through the window of the machine, Xia Yu clenched his fists as he watched the tall buildings getting farther and farther away from him. "Britain, here I am!" Chapter 246: Call Li Qian to the room "Boom...squeak..." Accompanied by the harsh roar of the turbine engine and the rapid rolling of the pulley. ¨�§»§ë§ê.suimeng.l¨¡ The huge body of the Boeing 747 passenger plane slowly landed at Heathrow International Airport, the main airport of the British capital London. Heathrow International Airport is a major aviation hub in the world. It is not only the busiest airport in Europe, but also the busiest airport in the world. One, in this era, can rank third in the world. When Xia Yu and his party walked down the ladder of the plane, he smiled and took a deep breath. "Finally here, this is London, the heart of the once sunless empire." Xia Yu exhaled the depression in his chest and muttered to himself. Li Qian and others who were next to Xia Yu also looked around. None of them had been to the UK. It could even be said that except for Li Wuming and Yan Shining, none of them had left Xiangjiang. To put it bluntly, they all People who have seen the world before. "Let''s go, find a hotel to settle down first!" Following Xia Yu''s order, everyone left the airport from the VIP passage, then went out to find two taxis and drove toward the place name Xia Yu reported. Although Xia Yu has never been to England, he does not lack the memory of England and London. So there is no need to find a guide, he probably knows what to do. Sitting in the taxi, through the window of the car, Xia Yu observes everything outside the window, contemplating the city, allowing the memories in his mind to deepen and overlap. "Fengshui takes turns. There is no eternal overlord in the world. The empire that was once the sun never sets has indeed declined!" Seeing the buildings constantly appearing in the field of vision, Xia Yu sighed to himself. As he said, Britain has indeed declined, and the bullish and bullish John Bull who once dominated the world is now like an aging old man. But the arrogant John Bull still refused to admit it, still immersed in the glory of the past and did not want to wake up. Until four years later, Argentina tore off the last fig leaf of John Bull in the Falklands War, and exposed the weak Britain naked. In the eyes of countries all over the world. More than 40 years ago, the open moustaches crossed Europe, and the Allies were defeated steadily. The cruel moustaches moved towards the foundation of the United Kingdom. The Rohill family, which represented British capital, was particularly affected by the moustaches. In response, the tactics of ransacking the family were used, and Britain was hit hard. Although in the end, because of the intervention of the United States, the German tank did not cross the English Channel and land on the British Peninsula. But a Second World War not only drained Europe''s energy, but also almost drained the blood of John Bull. In addition, the immense red empire has not given up its ambition to move westward, and has held back the energy of Britain, one of the leaders in Europe. So even though it has been more than forty years after World War II, the British economy is still in recession, and it has fallen to the point where it needs to recognize its former little brother, America, as its big brother. Feng Shui turns around! If there are no surprises, by next year, the famous iron lady will ascend to the top of British power, and then represent the interests of capital, pull the curtain of British privatization, and try to make the British economy rise again. Thinking of the process of privatization in the UK, Xia Yu has many memories in his mind. He squinted his eyes and sorted out, and he was full of emotion: "At that time, it will really be a feast of gluttony. If I have enough strength by then, Why should I take a bite hard..." Just as Xia Yu was thinking, the car stopped at the door of the Hilton London Paddington Hotel. After paying the money, Xia Yu and his party got off the car, walked into the lobby of the hotel amidst the respectful welcome of the waiter, and began to handle accommodation. This hotel was chosen by Xia Yu after consideration. Although it is only a 4-star hotel, it is the standard of the Hilton Hotel Group after all, and the service is not bad. And when choosing this hotel, Xia Yu also considered other issues. The London Paddington Hotel is located in central London, surrounded by famous buildings such as Trafalgar Square, the British Museum, No. 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery of England and so on. It will not be more than 10 kilometers by car, and the closest one is two or three kilometers by car. In his spare time, Xia Yu can take everyone to take a good tour. After all, it¡¯s rare to come to the UK. Although the main purpose is to bet on football, it does not take much time to bet on football. There is so much time left. It would be a pity that it is not good to go shopping. Soon, the accommodation was completed. Xia Yu and Li Qian lived opposite each other, Yan Shining and Hou Sheng lived in a room on the left of Xia Yu, and Li Wuming had a separate room on the right of Xia Yu. Busy for a while, the sun is about to set. It took more than 13 hours to take a direct flight from Hong Kong to London, England by Boeing 747. Although London was slower than Hong Kong for nearly 7 hours due to the longitude difference, it was still four o''clock in the afternoon when we arrived in London, and we departed from the airport. It took more than an hour to settle down, and it was already considered very fast. Fortunately, it is now more than June, and the direct sun has moved north, and it will soon reach the Tropic of Cancer. So at this time, the days in the northern hemisphere are short and the time for Xia Yu''s free activities is longer. Before the sun had completely set, Xia Yu took Yan Shining and Hou Sheng out and went to a newsstand. He directly scanned the goods under the surprised eyes of the boss of the big nose newsstand, leaving the boss of big nose to take it. With the money, looking at Xia Yu''s figure in a daze. After a full meal, Xia Yu called Li Qian to her room, gave her a bunch of newspapers in her shy eyes, and then said: "Help find news about the World Cup in Argentina and gambling. Pick the newspapers. come out." After talking about , Xia Yu lowered his head and devoted himself to the search for great cause. Seeing Xia Yu concentrating on scanning the newspaper, Li Qian, who was a little surprised, came back to her senses. After looking at the thick stack of newspapers in her hand, she realized that the boss called her into the room to be doing business and hurt her. Still uneasy enough to think about it. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her hand patted her chest lightly, causing the pair of majestic mountains in front of her chest to tremble. Thinking that she wanted to be crooked, Li Qian only felt hot on her cheeks and pink neck, and there were two blushes on her pretty face, which looked very attractive. A man would definitely be moved when she saw it. It''s a pity that the light in the room was orange at this time, and Xia Yu also lowered his head and was busy, and did not find Li Qian''s alluring look. Withdrawing her mind, Li Qian calmed herself back, concentrated and began to read the newspaper carefully, helping the boss Xia Yu to filter out the information he needed. For a while, the room became quiet. What I can hear is the sound of two gentle breathing and the sound of paper rubbing while reading the newspaper. Chapter 247: The Big 3 of British Gambling "Boss, after looking for it, they are all here.<§ëww.suimeng.l¨¡" For a long time, Li Qian said softly in a soft and soft voice, and at the same time put the selected newspaper in front of Xia Yu. "Thank you!" Xia Yu raised his head and glanced at Li Qian, said with a smile, then took the newspaper and put it in the pile he picked out. "Okay, it''s getting late. After a day''s flight, I think you are also very sleepy. Go back and take a bath and rest early." Xia Yu cared about Li Qian. "Well, the boss, I''ll go first, and you should rest early, so don''t be exhausted!" Li Qian stood up obediently and reminded Xia Yu gently before leaving. "Well, I will!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then continued to look down at the newspaper. "Click!" With the sound of the door lock metal colliding, Li Qian left Xia Yu''s room, Xia Yu was left alone in the room. As Xia Yu kept looking at the newspaper, more and more information was collected and stored in his mind, and he gained a certain understanding of many things. At this time, the World Cup in Argentina is in full swing. But in this World Cup, the England men''s national football team did not enter the top 16 of the Argentina World Cup finals. But it does not mean that the British have no chance, because the Scottish national men''s football team has entered the finals. At this time, many people will look dumbfounded. When will Scotland be a country, there will be a national men''s football team to participate in the World Cup! In fact, there are historical reasons for this! In the United Kingdom, many people think that it is called the United States of America or something with English characters like the United States. But in fact, "Britain" is just a short name, and its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! The United Kingdom is a Western European island country composed of England, Wales and Scotland on the Isle of Great Britain, Northern Ireland in the northeast of the island of Ireland, and a series of affiliated islands. The England national team is a national football team managed by the English Football Federation. For historical reasons, the four major regions of the UK: Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland exist as independent national football teams. Before Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom, the Free State of Ireland (the predecessor of the Republic of Ireland) established another new football association, and the original Irish Football Federation continued to manage the Northern Ireland team. Since then, there have been five national teams in the British Isles. But the most famous Olympics does not allow a country to have multiple national teams to play, so many people don''t know the special nature of Britain. However, although the Olympics are not allowed, the World Cup is allowed, so the England national team did not enter the finals, and the Scottish national team can also rush in. So after the Scottish national men¡¯s football team rushed in, it can still be said to represent the United Kingdom in name and entered the finals. Of course, the participation of the British people is high. Major newspapers and media report the World Cup every day. latest news. Since paying attention to the World Cup, British people who are good to gamble will naturally buy a few bets. The major gambling companies have mobilized all their power to attract as many people as possible to their betting points. In these newspapers, there are a lot of soft advertisements of gambling companies, such as how much heavier such and such or unknown lucky ones are. Use this example to guide readers to think that their gambling companies have a higher winning rate, which tempts more Of customers go. After reading these newspapers, Xia Yu sorted out the information, combined with the memories in his mind, and finally gained a certain understanding of the distribution of the British gambling industry. Watching football, there is no shortage of beer and gambling. What''s more, the British are gambling. Just like later generations, the Premier League is almost "gambling for all." There are 20 Premier League teams, and more than half of the teams¡¯ sponsors are spinach. the company. In fact, the modern sports betting was invented by the British. From the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the upsurge of raising horses and racing horses spread to the people from among British princes and nobles. Although ordinary citizens and villagers cannot afford the cost of raising horses, they still vie to watch the wealth show-off contest of the local tyrants. Everyone rushed to evaluate the horses. There was no consensus. Those who had something good simply made a bet to prove their vision. Bets are generally handed over to certain so-called "respected" people. The middleman guarantees that the bet will be distributed to the winners according to the result, but a certain commission must be drawn. Since then, the first batch of British "bookmakers" were born. With the development of horse racing, gambling has become increasingly prosperous among the British folks and spread to other activities. As the British invented modern football, football has become an increasingly important market in the gaming industry. At that time, the British government had a subtle attitude towards gambling-it cancelled the national lottery that had been issued since the 16th century, but it did not prohibit private gambling. The "Gambling License Law" of 1860, the "Gambling Law" of 1892 and other related laws incorporated gambling into the system of government management, and gambling began to show a large-scale and regular posture. So, since then, the British have held up the amulet of liberalism and began to "gamble on an order"! In the Hong Kong Jockey Club, betting on horses only appeared under the influence of the United Kingdom. It is precisely because the British people all gamble and the law allows gambling, so the gambling industry in the UK is booming, spreading more and more, and more influential. Up to now, there are a lot of large-scale gambling companies in the UK. Not mentioning horse racing spinach. In football gambling, the Big Three of British gambling are world-famous. They dominate not only in the UK, but also in Europe, and even in the world. One of the giants. The boss of the Big Three, William Hill, the true largest and most stable in the UK, was established in 194 and belongs to the William Hill Hotel Management Group. It has the reputation of "the spokesperson of the gaming company" and is the world''s most One of the betting companies affected. William Hill operates more than 200 betting stations and betting shops across the UK, with over 100,000 customers worldwide, and is the world''s largest telephone betting service company. The second child, Ladbrokes, is one of the world''s largest betting companies. UU Read www.uuk¨¡nshu.com provides betting services in the UK, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, the United States and Argentina. Ladbrokes Group has offices in almost 50 countries and more than 66,000 employees. In addition, Ladbrokes is also a subsidiary of the famous international hotel group Hilton Group, so Ladbrokes has set up betting terminals in these hotels. For example, at the hotel where Xia Yu lives, he saw Ladbrokes'' betting terminal. The third gaoral, whose main business is concentrated in the UK and Italy, has more than 1,800 stores in the UK and 870 stores in Italy. The British gambling company operates a gambling store like a convenience store. From this we can see the real situation of the British gambling industry. "They are all giants, and the annual turnover is very scary. Then the probability of my betting is not detected, and the amount of gambling can be larger, which can speed up efficiency." "It''s decided, starting tomorrow, we will start betting from the betting shops of these betting companies, and we will start a new round of betting tomorrow!" After the decision, Xia Yu finally put down the newspaper and checked the time, and found that it was late, he yawned and walked into the bathroom... Chapter 248: Money comes easily No words for a night, the next day in a blink of an eye. [WWWw.SuiM§Öng.l¨¡ After eating the delicious breakfast provided by the hotel, Xia Yu took everyone out. In order to avoid being noticed, Li Wuming, Yan Shining, and Hou Sheng did not surround Xia Yu all the time. Instead, they dispersed, a few meters away from Xia Yu, pretending to be casual passers-by. And considering that everyone has Asian faces, it is easy to attract people''s attention, so everyone wears hats or glasses to make them as unrecognizable as possible. To be so cautious is to gamble, naturally you have to disguise yourself as much as possible. And in order to avoid accidents, even if there are Ladbrokes betting points in the hotel, Xia Yu will not vote. After all, as long as the odds are high, there will be records. As long as the room opening records are checked, it is very likely that he will be exposed. If you choose to make a small profit in order not to expose yourself, it is better not to gamble! So to be on the safe side, Xia Yu intends to place bets at outside betting shops or betting points. Soon, Xia Yu saw a William Hill betting place. After disguising, he went in to learn about the odds of the major tournaments, and then cast a total of 10,000 pounds based on memory. If the results in memory are used, even Excluding the high tax rate on spinach, he can still earn around ¡ê250,000. It is so high because he is not betting on simple wins or losses, but with extremely high risk and extremely high odds. After that, he came out again, found a public phone booth, took the form of telephone betting, and dialed Ladbrokes Gaming Company for remote betting. This is very convenient. I have to say that it takes the first place in the telephone betting market. Ladbrokes, this business is indeed doing well! In addition to Xia Yu''s own hands, Yan Shining Li Wuming and others also helped with betting. They only need to hold the betting paper written by Xia Yu to bet. There is no need to communicate. In the next few days, Xia Yu ran irregularly in major cities in the UK. The betting points were also randomly selected, and would not be concentrated in a gambling company. Although the three major gambling giants in the UK are the main targets, other small and medium-sized gambling companies, Xia Yu has not let go. After all, if two million pounds of funds were invested in a gambling company, and Xia Yu took high odds, then he could earn almost 50 million pounds, and the bookmaker would lose more. When the time comes, the gambling company will definitely find something wrong, and Xia Yu will be in trouble. Two million pounds are conspicuous in one company, but scattered to more than a dozen betting companies, it is not conspicuous. A betting company also has a principal of one hundred and two million pounds, and the betting points are very scattered. Xia Yu didn''t believe it. These more than a dozen gambling companies would share their confidential data with each other. As long as they don''t share it, there will be no chance to find problems. Xia Yu is safe! With today''s rush, Xia Yu brought two million pounds, except for 100,000 left as expenses, the remaining 1.9 million pounds were all bet. However, the amount in Xia Yu''s bank cards was even more, reaching as much as 2.4 million pounds. This is because in the past few days, the World Cup has played a number of matches, and four group matches were held on June 11. For example, on June 11, the first group of France defeated Hungary 3:1, the first group of hosts Argentina 0:1 Italy, and the second group of West Germany 0:0 tied the record-setting Tunisia for the first time in the World Cup. 1 beat Mexico and so on. Although some Xia Yu can¡¯t remember how many scores, Xia Yu knows who the quarterfinals are, and then based on the existing ranking and the number of goals, he will make inferences, which leads to a very high accuracy rate, although several bets were wrong. , But most of the bets were right, which caused his funds to skyrocket. In the evening, Xia Yu was in a good mood because he made a lot of money and couldn''t stay in the room. After thinking about it, he took everyone to stroll around London and take a look at the night view of London. After walking around, Xia Yu found that the night view of London could not be compared with the magical and imperial capitals of the later generations of China. At this time, the British economy is in a downturn, so most of the buildings in London basically stayed at the time of 20 or 30 years ago, and many buildings look a bit old. As for the updated building, the British government re-planned an area on the west side of London as a new development site. After all, for the government, re-planning of places will not only reduce the workload, it will be easier to operate, and the cost will be much lower. If you demolish and rebuild in a place that has been finalized, there will be too many problems and the price will be too great! At this moment, when Xia Yu and the others passed by the door of a quaint tavern, the cheers from inside suddenly caught his attention. He stopped and looked at the tavern. First he saw a light sign "Hans'' Tavern", and through the window, he saw a TV set on the closet, which was playing a football match in the tavern. All of the people were cheering and looking at the TV screen, and many people even toasted to celebrate. He thought for a while, now it should be the twenty-fourth group match between Scotland and the Netherlands. It must have been Scotland scored just now! After hesitating for a while, he walked in with Li Qian and others. No matter it was in the previous life or this life, he had never personally experienced what a foreign tavern was like. Since he was out to relax tonight, he suddenly wanted to feel it. As soon as they entered the tavern, Yan Shining and the three consciously dispersed, but they watched the surroundings calmly, and intentionally or unconsciously surrounded Xia Yu and Li Qian to protect their safety. Many people saw the arrival of Xia Yu and others, but after seeing them, they immediately retracted their gazes and continued to stare at the TV screen. Only the smiling tavern owner looked at Xia Yu and others. The tavern owner Hans is an old man in his sixties. His face is full of wrinkles. His red rosacea is very eye-catching, but his smile is full of enthusiasm and kindness. "Would you like some beer?" Xia Yu looked at Li Qian, and before she refused, he said to the old Hans the tavern owner: "Bring me two beers, thank you!" With that, he took out a banknote and put it on the counter table. After the boss poured two glasses of beer, he said that he didn''t need to find it, and he took the beer and found a table and sat down. "Taste it and see how British beer tastes. It doesn''t matter if you finish drinking it." Xia Yu smiled at Li Qian and said, Li Qian, who had originally wanted to say that she can''t drink, nodded obediently when she heard this, gently held up the wine glass, and took a tentative sip. Then she saw her cute little Qiong wrinkled her nose and looked very interesting, Xia Yu couldn''t help but laugh. "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled, then took a sip from the wine glass, sipped his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it, for a long time, opened his eyes, and exclaimed: "The taste is pure, the aroma of wheat is very strong, and the taste is really good." At this moment, both men and women, young and old, cheered again in the tavern. "Wow, God bless!" "Gal..." "Come on Scotland, long live Scotland!" ... There was a lot of noise in the tavern, screams and various cheers rang out in the tavern, but everyone didn''t care, instead they embraced each other excitedly to celebrate. "Heers!" A middle-aged man sitting next to Xia Yu was full of surprises. He walked around the venue with a wine glass. He also touched Xia Yu and Li Qian''s wine glasses and said happily to the two of them. "Heers!" Xia Yu also smiled and took a sip from a toast. The embarrassed Li Qian also took a sip, two blushes floating on her beautiful face, which was really alluring. Putting down the wine glass and looking at the score in the corner of the TV screen, the Scottish team leads the Dutch team with a big score of 3:0, and the Scottish team has a great advantage. The Netherlands had previously defeated Iran 3:0 and Scotland had lost Peru 1:3. Now it is the last match of the third group stage. Unexpectedly, Scotland will chase three goals in a short period of time. If the game ends now , Then the Scottish team can be the same as the second-placed Netherlands in terms of wins, goal difference, or points. If you score one more goal, you will be able to achieve a Jedi lead, relying on a goal difference to knock the Netherlands out of K, and enter the second round of the group stage, which is the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, for this World Cup, Xia Yu can''t remember the victories of some other teams, but he remembers very clearly about the Scotland team. This is the second time that the Scottish national men¡¯s football team has entered the World Cup. It also won the first round of the group stage, but did not enter the quarterfinals in the end. That is to say, although Scotland won this game, it was still net. The victory fell behind and missed the quarterfinals. It''s just a pity that Xia Yu didn''t remember how much Scotland beat Holland. But it doesn''t matter. When Xia Yu was betting, he made 3:1, 4:2 or 2:1 bets. As long as one wins and removes the other losses, he can still earn more than six times. Sure enough, as time passed the Dutch team also realized their dangers, rose up to counterattack the Dutch team in a big way, and kept attacking and shooting, and finally scored a goal. The score on the spot became 3 :1. Suddenly, all the Dutch fans on one side of the audience stand up and cheered on the TV screen, while the English fans on the other side were downcast, and even the Scottish players in the field were very upset. Although the Scottish team quickly recovered their morale, they continued to fight hard and charged again and again, but until the end of the game, they did not score another goal. The final score was fixed at 3:1. Seeing this score, Everyone in the pub is in a mixed mood. Although the Scotland team defeated the Dutch team, but with the same other data, the England team lost 1 goal difference to the Dutch team, and finally missed the second round of the group stage. Feeling the tavern full of sadness and loss, Xia Yu nodded to Yan Shining and the others and left the tavern. These fans are very disappointed, but Xia Yu''s mood is very good, because in this game, he hit 3:1 and made at least 300,000 pounds. Why is he unhappy? "This money is too easy to come! It''s addictive..." Chapter 249: Moon black wind high night Indonesia, composed of about 7508 islands, is part of the Malay Archipelago and the largest archipelagic country in the world. Its territory spans Asia and Oceania and is also known as the "country of a thousand islands." £û§»ww{suim§Öng][l¨¡} Although there are many islands, many of them are uninhabited desert islands, and due to the weak state of Indonesia, the situation of many islands, even the Indonesian government, has a black eye. Moreover, due to the complex terrain and unknown sea conditions, many islands and sea areas in Indonesia have become hotbeds for evil forces. Not only pirates gather here, but other dark organizations also exist. On this night, dark clouds obscured the moon¡¯s brilliance. The strong sea breeze raged on the sea, blowing the trees on an inconspicuous desert island to sway, and the leaves were swaying and rubbing, making a rustling noise. It was pitch black. The low cooing sound of an owl sounded in the forest, which made people feel a little creepy. As the saying goes, when the moon is black and the wind is high in the night, when murder and arson are! At the waist of a small hill in the middle of the island, there was still candle light. There were some houses there, and there was a natural cave on the waist of the hill. Two men in black stood guard at the entrance of the cave. At this moment, several wooden boats quietly approached the island. When they were approaching the island, they slowed down and stopped. First, a man wearing a snake-print half-face mask jumped from the front wooden boat. Immediately afterwards, some people jumped off from several other wooden boats one after another. These people were quick and inferior to spread out, guarding the surrounding. The man standing to the left of the man with the snake mask said to him, "Cobra, is this the headquarters of the Viper Organization?" "Yes, that''s it, follow the plan!" The masked man said solemnly, and then rushed towards the mountainside. As the masked man left, everyone else was like a civet in the dark night, quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, hung tightly behind the masked man, and followed to halfway up the mountain. Soon, the masked man reached the cave halfway up the mountain. "Crack!" As the masked man stepped on a dead branch, he made a crisp sound, which was very obvious in the quiet wilderness. "Who!" The guard at the entrance of the cave shouted loudly, while holding his gun in the direction of the masked man. The masked man said solemnly: "Cobra!" As soon as the voice fell, the masked man walked out of the darkness. Seeing the figure of the masked man, although the guards relaxed a little, they were still very alert. One of the guards asked again in a strange language: "! £¤" "£¤¡­¡­" The masked man immediately responded. As the secret code was spoken by the masked man, the two guards immediately retracted their guns, stood up straight and bowed respectfully towards the masked man, and then said, "Nine elders, please! The chief and other elders are here!" "Ok!" The masked man hummed in a hoarse voice, and then walked towards the cave with his head high. Although the entrance of the cave is very small, the inside of the cave has been modified and reinforced. After entering, it suddenly became clear. There were guards patrolling along the way. The masked man did not stop, walked to the top and opened a door. As the door opened, everyone in the room looked towards the door. As soon as the masked man entered the door, he was scrutinized by many sharp gazes. His only half of his face remained unchanged, and he went straight to the empty seat at the end. . A long table, plus a man with glasses, sat ten people, and all ten people wore masks, which seemed very mysterious. At this time, sitting at the top, a man wearing a pure black mask said solemnly: "Okay, everyone is here, now I announce that the half-year regular meeting will begin." "Boss, I have taken over 72 tasks so far, 72 have been completed, no one has missed! No one has survived three days!" A man wearing a tiger mask sitting on the left hand of the man with a black mask said in a wild voice, but the content of his report was chilling. No one missed 72 tasks, no one survived three days, then At least 72 people lost their lives. When he was speaking, the whole room was his own voice, and everyone else listened quietly. "Chief, my department..." After the tiger mask man finished speaking, the person sitting to the right of the black mask man immediately took the conversation and continued. "leader¡­¡­" ... "Boom boom..." Just as the people sitting reported one by one, a sudden noise came from outside, and the person who reported it stopped immediately, and everyone''s complexion condensed. However, just after a second, a dense burst of gunfire sounded, and everyone''s expressions changed. They all stood up and took out their guns at the same time. But at this moment, the leader of the pure black mask suddenly looked at the snake-print mask man who came in last just now. There was no wave in the eyes of the snake-print mask man, but suddenly, he moved a step instantly and hid behind the eight elders. Just when he was hiding, the leader of the pure black mask slammed his left hand down in front of him. With only a beep, followed by a bang, the long conference table was torn apart, accompanied by screams and exclamations, everyone around the table was shaken by the violent air. "Boom boom..." Being blocked by someone, the man in the snake mask took out two pistols and fired quickly, aiming at their heads while being shocked by the air. "It''s you!" Seeing a moment, the other elders all fell in a pool of blood, and he survived because the elder of the tiger mask on his left hand stood in front of him. The leader of the pure black mask flashed cold eyes and held a gun at the same time. The serpentine man shot quickly. However, the man with the snake mask was prepared for a long time, and did not answer his words, but found a cover to shoot quickly. "Boom..." ... When many guards in the cave heard gunfire from outside, they started to rush outside, but then the explosion sound from the innermost shocked all the guards and for a while they forgot where to go. But the leader is more important, and many guards want to go back and charge inside. It''s a pity that this has been calculated by others. The attacker chose a perfect time and quickly broke into the cave, forcing the guards to stop and fight with the offender. It''s just that the enemies seem to be the elite of the elite, the weapons are also very sophisticated, and they are very familiar with their characteristics, the guards are completely at a disadvantage. Soon, all the guards were wiped out. When the person next to the man with the snake print mask came outside the meeting room, he saw that the cobra was dripping blood from his finger and the Mitsubishi Army stabbed at him. The ground was full of people. . Looking at the man in the black mask who was still dying, the man in the snake mask was in a very complicated mood. He tried to lurch, and after careful calculation for three years, he finally found this opportunity and wiped out the snake organization in one fell swoop. "Finally revenge!" The man in the snake mask murmured. "Cobra, congratulations!" The person who came in with the leader smiled and said that he was truly happy for "Cobra". He knew that their team, which was built by "Cobra", had a mission from beginning to end, which was to eliminate the "Viper" organization and assist "Cobra" in revenge. This purpose, "Cobra" has never concealed it from them, and they don''t care. After all, without this man in front of them, there would be no them now. It can be said that "Cobra" has the grace to recreate all of them, and all their brothers The feelings between them were also formed in blood and fire, even if the''Cobra'' let him die now, he would not frown. "Thank you brothers, are you all here?" The man in the snake mask lowered the mask, revealing a very ordinary face, a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, and he asked softly. "It''s all here! No one is missing!" "That''s good, I can rest assured." The man in the snake mask breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion. The leader heard something was wrong, and he smiled on the side of his face who was still happy with Cobra, and blurted out: "Cobra, what''s the matter with you? Isn''t it?" "That''s right, the grievances are avenged, my wish is over, it''s time to retire." Said the man codenamed "Cobra". "Big Brother, you are gone, what shall we do?" The leader was suddenly anxious, and he didn''t even call the code name, trying to change his mind with this call. "Cobra" did not answer. Instead, he took out a yellowed photo from his arms. The photo shows a family of four, the parents plus an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and a child who is still infant. Then, he took out another updated photo. The photo was of a beautiful girl with a graceful figure, but this photo was obviously a sneak shot, but it still captured the beauty of the beautiful girl. Looking at these two photos, "Cobra"''s eyes were blurred, as if thinking of something again. Seeing the appearance of "Cobra", the leader who had wanted to persuade opened his mouth, only feeling that something was stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak to persuade. Finally, he could only lower his head and sigh. a long time. "Brother, the spirit has been tense for so many years, you should be tired too, just take a good rest for a while, I think you will figure it out clearly, please don¡¯t forget, you still have a bunch of brothers who depend on life and death, we are in the same place Waiting for you, always!" The leader sighed and said, he knew the character of ¡®cobra¡¯, and because he knew , he did not choose to persuade him, but let him calm down for a period of time, hoping that he would think it through. After finishing speaking, the leader walked outside with all the complex-looking brothers,''Cobra'' silently watched them go outside, even though they stopped when they were about to leave his sight,''Cobra'' mouth wriggled, but finally did not speak. . The person who led the departure shook his head and took a big step away from the sight of''Cobra''. When the "cobra" came to the beach, there was only a lone wooden boat left, and the other wooden boats had already disappeared into the vast sea. "Cobra" was standing on the beach, and the salty sea breeze was blowing his hair, and it seemed to have blown away the dark clouds, revealing the bright moon. Looking up at the moon, "Cobra" muttered to himself: "Dad, Mom, the enemy who caused our family''s ruin, I have killed, and I have found my sister. Don''t worry, I will take care of her." Putting his hand in his arms, he touched the updated single photo, and the "cobra" stepped on the wooden boat and rowed into the distance. "Xiaoqian, brother is looking for you..." Chapter 250: Embark on the road of no return (2 in 5000 words In a house in a place in Kowloon, an old woman walked upstairs with an ordinary-looking young man carrying a box and a package. ?§ê§ë§».suimEnG.1a After going up to the third floor, the old woman pointed to the row of rooms in front of her and said to the man: "Little Ma, there are only a few rooms left without renting out, 307, 309, 310, 311, all of the same size and price. Same, you pick whatever you want!" "Grandma, can I go in and have a look?" The man called Xiao Ma asked softly, as if he didn''t laugh often, the smile now squeezed out looked very blunt. "Of course, I will open the door for you." Grandma said kindly, and then picked up a bunch of keys in her hand, found the corresponding key, and opened all the doors of the four rooms. "Little Ma, take a good look." After the grandmother finished speaking, the man who called the pony nodded towards her, then entered room 307 and began to observe. Then, he looked at a few other rooms, and said to his grandma after he came out, "Grandma, I''ll choose 307 room. I will rent you half a year." Seeing the pony start to pay, the grandmother nodded with a bright smile: "Good." "It''s not wrong, come, here''s the key." After counting the banknotes, the grandmother happily handed the keys to the man, and was about to go downstairs. "Grandma, wait a minute." The pony stopped the grandma who wanted to leave. "What''s wrong? Do you have anything else?" Granny asked suspiciously. "I just want to know who my neighbors are, and I will be mentally prepared to meet at that time." "Who lives in rooms 306 and 308?" Xiao Ma asked softly, and explained it specifically to prevent grandma from thinking. The grandmother showed an expression of understanding and thought about it and said to him: "The girl who lives in 306, Li Qian, looks pretty. She has just lived for half a month. I heard that she had just graduated from university and had found her not long ago. Work." "The one who lives in 308 is called Song Bo. He has lived there for more than a year. He is a waiter. He is a very enthusiastic person. You must get along well." The little horse showed a clear look, nodded and said: "We will get along well." "By the way, grandma, it''s noon now, why don''t you see them back?" Xiao Ma asked casually again, with a puzzled look on his face, but the light in his eyes showed that he was very concerned about this issue. Grandma didn''t realize that it was wrong, and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Song didn''t come back at noon. As for Li Qian, when she saw her packing things a few days ago, she said she had gone abroad. It is estimated that it will take one or two months to return." Hearing what the grandmother said, the eyes of the man who called the pony became deep, and he calmed down again, nodded and said: "So, it doesn''t matter, it''s okay to meet her when she comes back, grandma, if you have something, please do it, I will clean up Get down to the room." "Okay, you clean up slowly, I''ll go down first, and come downstairs to find me if I have something to do." Looking at grandma''s squatting back, the man who called Xiao Ma looked at the closed door of 306, his brows were slightly frowned, his fists clenched. "How could it be so unlucky that Xiaoqian went abroad for another month or two, so how long will it take?" "I have been waiting for so many years, and I don''t care about the past two months, just wait." "It''s just that Xiaoqian got a job after graduating from university and went abroad with him. Then you have to check the background of that company so that Xiaoqian will not be deceived." Looking at the closed door again, the man who called Xiao Ma walked into his room and began to tidy up. ... At the headquarters of Sing Tao News Corporation, Hu Xian, the chairman of the board, sent the two people out of the gate, watching them leave in the car, the smile on her face immediately disappeared without a trace, her expression became heavy, it seemed that someone owed her It''s like millions. Seeing the chairman standing at the gate without saying a word for a long time, other employees in the company also began to panic. The senior executives who accompanied Hu Xian gathered the courage to remind him in a low voice: "Chairman, or, shall we go in first?" Hu Xian turned his head to look at the reminder some mechanically. With bloodshot eyes, his face still looked yellow after dressing up, making him afraid to look and lowered his head unconsciously. After a few seconds, Hu Xian said in a heavy tone: "Call the senior management to the conference room, and the meeting will be held in ten minutes." Soon, high-level executives entered the conference room one after another, and saw the chairman who was sitting on the starter. Everyone looked at each other, and they were all very heavy, sitting silently, not daring to talk to each other. Regarding the purpose of chairman Hu Xian calling them over for a meeting, they could guess, who made the company go from bad to worse during this period? Especially in the past few days, the sales of the four newly-acquired newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company have been increasing day by day after the revision. For example, "Tiantian Daily", which had only 20,000 copies four or five days ago, was the latest sales volume yesterday. It has doubled to 40,000 copies, and the growth rate is still rapid. Jiuding newspapers are advancing more and more. The targeted Sing Tao News Group has gone from bad to worse. The sales of its "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" have been impacted, especially the "Sing Tao Daily", which has been listed by Nanyang Business Daily. "," Sin Chew Daily, "Fengyun Daily", "Jiuding Daily", "Tian Tian Daily" and other five newspapers jointly targeted, the sales decline is getting worse, and everyone in the company is panic. Today, even worse news is coming. People from Hang Lung Bank are here. The intention is self-evident, that is, after seeing the current situation of Sing Tao News Group, they came to remind the bank about loans. Everyone sees this situation in the company, but they can¡¯t do anything about it, because if there is a way, they would have figured it out a long time ago. A meeting like this has been held at least ten times, but every time it¡¯s not discussed. What effective measures have been taken out. "Are everyone here?" Hu Xianqiang cheered up and asked. "Chairman, everyone is here." The editor-in-chief sitting on Hu Xian''s left hand said. "Then close the door and have a meeting!" Seeing the last person closing the door, Hu Xian sighed and said: "Now we are really at the most dangerous moment. This time, we must find a way out anyway." Although Hu Xian was very apathetic, her attitude towards speaking was very determined. She had reached the point where everything was exhausted, and she had to figure out a way. It must not be the same as before so many times. Every meeting takes time, but in the end, No effective measures can be obtained. Loaning tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, hiring people to build the Sing Tao News Agency, unfortunately, the Sing Tao News Agency, which was placed high in hopes, did not play a role, and the money was in vain. Not only that, the Sing Tao News Agency, which has only been built halfway, is now unable to advance or retreat. If you continue to build it, you can¡¯t afford to pay. But if you don¡¯t continue, the current Sing Tao News Agency is a waste, and the huge number of new personnel is added every day. Salaries and expenses are huge numbers. But the company only "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" can generate revenue, but now the sales of the two newspapers have been declining, and advertisers have terminated their contracts, resulting in a sharp decline in revenue. According to the current trend, revenue is completely insufficient for the company''s expenses. At a loss every day. Now she has completely lost her mind about competing with Jiuding Newspaper Company. She just wants to keep the foundation left to her by her father, Hu Wenhu, so that the company can continue to operate without disappearing in her hands. "If you can''t think of it, everyone will stay here overnight, and I will be with you!" For a long time, seeing everyone still thinking and thinking, but no one commented, Hu Xian''s face became more and more dim, and she was completely ruthless. In order to prevent the company from closing down, she must have a feasible solution. As soon as Hu Xian''s words came out, everyone''s expressions changed. Knowing that the chairman was really irrational, it seemed that her pressure really couldn''t hold it! "Zhang Feng, you say!" Seeing Zhang Feng, who manages finances, his complexion kept changing, he finally became calm, as if he had an idea, Hu Xian ordered. "Boss, the situation is severe now. If you want to solve the problem, it is nothing more than increasing income and reducing expenditure. It is too difficult to increase income, so start with reducing expenditure." Zhang Feng said without squinting his eyes. As soon as the voice fell, everyone who was sitting was shocked, throttling? What stream? Do you want to cut their wages? How does this work? Seeing everyone staring at Zhang Feng, Hu Xian probably guessed what they were thinking. She hurriedly asked, "How to throttle?" Of course Zhang Feng is not crazy, cutting their wages is also cutting his own wages, so his reduction in expenditure refers to something else. "Now our news agency is just a chicken rib, or worse than a chicken rib. My suggestion is to sell the Sing Tao News Agency. If it can recover a little cost, even a little bit. If no one wants it, then just dissolve it and lose the two hundred. With more people and major offices, our expenses will be reduced by a lot." Zhang Feng said blankly, his face was very ugly even without even looking at it, An Yubin, who is in charge of Sing Tao News Agency. Except for An Yubin, who looked at Zhang Feng with almost murderous eyes, everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at An Yubin with some pity, and looked on with cold eyes while hanging up high. In fact, they are all aware of the company¡¯s problems. They are not ignorant of Sing Tao News Agency¡¯s dragging gadget. At present, the company¡¯s liabilities are mostly caused by Sing Tao News Agency, and most of the monthly losses are due to the huge amount of Sing Tao News Agency¡¯s. Brought by the new personnel system. Especially in foreign offices, there are many foreign employees. The salary expenses there are much higher than Xiangjiang. One month¡¯s salary of a foreign employee is enough to pay several local employees in Hong Kong, but there is no way. The standard of living is much higher than that of Xiangjiang! Although they all knew it, they didn''t want to offend An Yubin blatantly, so although many people had ideas, they didn''t say anything. But since Zhang Feng is willing to offend An Yubin and use him to kill Dao friends but not poor Dao, they are naturally very supportive. Looking at An Yubin, who looked ugly but didn''t say a word, and looked at everyone''s attitudes, she thought of the full expectation and complete disappointment, and the people of Hang Lung Bank implicitly threatened. After that, Hu Xian finally closed his eyes. Seeing Hu Xian''s actions, it seemed that he had finally decided. This moment finally came. Even if he tried his best to save, it was a pity that Sing Tao News Agency didn''t get better, and it didn''t work. He couldn''t help it. An Yubin shook his head mockingly. He has nothing to say. He is not the kind of person who refuses to admit it. He admits it! No matter what, he has an unshirkable responsibility, the facts have proved it! "Sing Tao News Agency, cut it..." Hu Xian slowly opened her eyes and looked at An Yubin who was ready. She endured heartache and slowly spoke. An Yubin smiled silently, lowered his head, and said nothing. In fact, An Yubin is uncomfortable, why is Hu Xian uncomfortable? Her heart was dripping with blood, and the 10 million Hong Kong dollar pledged for the 25 stock loan was lost. Moreover, this was a wrong strategic decision she made and brought a crisis to the company. How could she not suffer? Now that she said she had cut down the Sing Tao News Agency, she was admitting her mistake in disguise and slapped herself! So for An Yubin who disappointed her, she didn''t want to say anything anymore. Hu Xian retracted his gaze, continued to look at Zhang Feng, and said, "Throttling can''t solve the problems you are facing now, what else can you do?" Throttling is just to reduce expenses, but now Hang Lung Bank is coming to collect debts, Sing Tao News Group has only two ways to go, either to repay the money, or let the bank see that it is profitable and give up debt collection. Otherwise, there is no other way! So now, even if the Sing Tao News Agency is cut off, the problem that has caused her headaches is still not solved. The most fundamental problem is the decline in sales and the sharp decline in advertising revenue. The decline in advertising revenue was caused by the decline in newspaper sales. So going around, we still have to solve the problem of sales decline, so that advertisers no longer run away and increase advertising revenue! In other words, stabilize advertising revenue, and then find ways to increase revenue! It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been thinking about this problem for more than a month, and there are no fewer than ten meetings, and they still can¡¯t solve it. They can¡¯t help it! Everyone is helpless, is there really no way to go home tonight? Want to spend the night in a meeting room? Hu Xian''s gaze swept in front of everyone. At this moment, she suddenly found that the Minister of Distribution Yu Hang looked at her at each other, seemingly hesitant to speak. Hu Xian was overjoyed and looked forward to asking: "Yu Hang, you say!" Yu Hang hesitated for a while, and then took a vaccination and said, "Boss, this is a crooked trick, and it may not work." "I don''t care about wrong tricks or not, as long as I can solve the problem!" Hearing that Yu Hang really had a way, Hu Xian was excited and said immediately. Others also looked at Yu Hang. "Then I will say." "Advertisers will leave because of the decline in newspaper sales, so why don''t we let sales not decline?" When Yu Hang said this, he suddenly shut up. Most people are at a loss. Only a few people''s complexion changed. They guessed what Yu Hang''s so-called crooked trick was. They had thought about it before, but they didn''t dare to say it. After all, this crooked trick is too risky. Up! If something happens, none of them can bear this responsibility! "Go on! Don''t hesitate!" Yu Hang suddenly didn''t say anything, making Hu Xian very uncomfortable, and immediately urged. Seeing the expectant gaze of the chairman, Yu Hang sighed in his heart, regretting that he shouldn''t talk too much, but at this point, he can only go to the dark. "Boss, we can artificially keep the sales of newspapers stable." Yu Hang said this, if other people still don''t understand, they would be stupid, but they didn''t expect Yu Hang to be so courageous. "Are you trying to fake sales?" Hu Xian blurted out and stared at Yu Hang with his eyes fixed on Yu Hang. Yu Hang is using the credibility of the newspaper to make a bet. If it is revealed, the price will be too great, and it is very possible to stop the publication! Hu Xian wanted to get angry, but seeing Yu Hang''s uneasy expression, the anger that Hu Xian finally gathered disappeared instantly. No matter, Yu Hang was also for him, and he also said that it was a wrong trick before. Huxian secretly "Is there any other way?" Hu Xian stopped mentioning this topic, as if it had never happened, he looked at other people. This time, Yu Hang also lowered his head, and said nothing, not wanting to be the first bird. It''s a pity that Hu Xian was disappointed again. The executives under her were still dumb like the previous few times, and her lack of patience quickly faded away. Until ten o''clock in the evening, there was still no result. Hu Xian slumped weakly on the chair. Her complexion changed several times, and finally returned to calm, and said lightly: "Let''s go!" Hearing these three words like Tianlai, everyone''s spirits suddenly trembled, and then they nodded to Hu Xian tacitly and walked outside in silence. Just when Yu Hang wanted to go out, Hu Xian suddenly said: "Yu Hang, you stay." As soon as he said this, not only was Yu Hang very surprised, but even the other executives walking outside were shocked, their eyes exchanged with each other, and then they all deliberately accelerated their pace and left the meeting room. "Chairman." Yu Hang stood in front of Hu Xian a little nervously, and said tremblingly. "Tell me your suggestions in detail." Hu Xian said blankly. Yu Hang opened his eyes, suppressed the horror in his heart, calmed his heart, and began to say, "Chairman, we can..." Hu Xian''s expression remained unchanged until Yu Hang finished , which made Yu Hang feel uneasy. After a long time, Hu Xian slowly said: "This matter is left to you, remember that you must not disclose it!" "Yes!" Yu Hang immediately responded. After Yu Hang left, Hu Xian weakly slumped on the stool, made the decision just now, and emptied all her energy. She also didn¡¯t want to take the company¡¯s fate to make a bet, but that was the only way. Without fraud, the company would definitely go bankrupt. This is a matter of time, but if fraud is not discovered, the crisis will be temporarily lifted. She has more time to think of other solutions. Now she needs time! There is no other way to harm the two powers whichever is less! "Father, bless me..." Hu Xian crossed his hands and closed his eyes to pray in secret. ~: Urgent notice, leave for 1 day I worked overtime until this point, I didn¡¯t even take a shower, and then I just wanted to leave, but I was caught by the leader. I have to get up at 6:20 tomorrow morning to work overtime. I can still hold on until two o¡¯clock last night, but tonight is really There is no way, otherwise the chain will be dropped tomorrow, the consequences are too serious, I dare not gamble, in desperation, I can only brazenly ask everyone for a day off, also ask Haihan, old Huang thanks! Chapter 251: Home ownership "...I see, you can be sure of it yourself, so let''s do it when it''s okay, then call this phone if you have something to do!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu looked at Li Qian, who was sitting next to him, and looked at the densely packed text in the notebook in front of her. He smiled and asked: "Did you write them down?" "Yeen, I wrote it down!" Li Qian tapped her head lightly, pursing her lips and said obediently. "Let''s go, go for a walk, this new residence is in a good environment, get familiar with it first." Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction, and then called Li Qian to walk outside. That''s right, Xia Yu''s place now is not the Hilton Hotel, but the newly bought country house. After staying at the Hilton Hotel for a few days, Xia Yu felt that it was not very convenient, and that hotel was only a four-star hotel, usually for business people. He, a foreigner with a bodyguard and secretary, came in and out every day. More conspicuous. With a low-key attitude, plus the fact that it is inconvenient to live in a hotel, he will stay in the UK for a long time, and he will definitely come back in the future. There is always a place to stay. In addition, he does have money now, the funds in the card are rising every day, betting is not finished, and buying a house will not affect his gambling plan. So he found a house in Hampshire on the outskirts of London from the real estate agent and bought it for one million pounds. In addition, he bought two cars, listed them and other procedures. It has been handed over to the car dealership, and it is estimated that he will get off soon. In a few days, he will drive out. When he arrived at a new residence, he immediately called Xiangjiang back. It is only ten o''clock in the morning, and the time difference between Hong Kong and London is 7 hours, so at this time, Xiangjiang is more than five o''clock in the afternoon and has not yet finished get off work, so Xia Yu called the four companies, and naturally someone answered. He has two purposes for making calls. The first purpose is to understand the situation of each company and conduct remote control; the second purpose is to let Yan Wenhan and others know the number of Xia Yu¡¯s new residence. If there is something, you can call this number. Called to the Hilton Hotel again. Otherwise, in case something urgent happens, because the notification is not timely and there is a problem, then it will be troublesome! When I took Li Qian out, I saw Yan Shining and Li Wuming fighting together on the lawn, while Hou Sheng watched them attentively from the side, making gestures with his hands from time to time, as if he wanted to learn something. . "boss!" Seeing Xia Yu coming out, Hou Sheng immediately stood up straight and shouted respectfully. Li Wuming and Yan Shining, who were discussing each other, also stopped and walked towards Xia Yu. "boss!" "Well, do you want to walk together, this new home is so big, it might really be faint if you don''t get familiar with it." Xia Yu nodded with a smile and joked to them. "Haha, I have to get better, this manor is too big." Yan Shining agreed. Then, Xia Yu started walking around with everyone. Xia Yu bought not just a villa, but even the entire country manor. The entire manor occupies a very large area. After all, the ¡ê1 million in this era is not just for fun. The purchasing power is very strong, so even though it is In the suburbs of the capital, London, it is still possible to buy a very large estate. This is a typical British Victorian country manor. According to the agent, this manor was built in 1874. It was originally a baron¡¯s family manor. Later, the baron¡¯s family fell and sold the manor. The next buyer again Hanging out the manor, this gave Xia Yu a chance to buy it. The building of the entire manor is built with a half-timber structure, with three stories high. The residential area covers an area of ??more than 1,300 square meters. Outside, there is a green lawn and century-old trees dotted with it. On the side of the road There are blooming roses in the flower garden, and unknown birds are singing on the trees. The overall environment is very good. Xia Yu walks on the quaint stone road, smelling the fresh air, and he feels relaxed and happy. "Boss, your manor is really big. It is definitely a top luxury mansion in our Xiangjiang. I didn''t expect it to be an ordinary manor in the UK." After shopping for half a circle, Yan Shining was full of emotion. He has also lived in Xiangjiang for five months, and has a certain understanding of many situations in Xiangjiang, and the boss is also rich, he has more exposure to things, and he has a certain concept of Xiangjiang''s luxury house. . Now the manor Xia Yu just bought in the UK not only occupies more than 1,000 square meters, but also has such a large lawn, garden, etc., it cost only 1 million pounds, which is less than 9 million Hong Kong dollars. But for 9 million Hong Kong dollars, Yan Shining can be sure that this kind of manor is absolutely impossible to buy in Xiangjiang. He thought that in a developed country like Britain, the house would be more expensive, but he didn''t expect it to be. This was beyond his expectation. Xia Yu laughed and explained: "Big Brother Yan, houses in London are very expensive, but houses in the suburbs are not expensive. Naturally, Hong Kong cannot be compared with the United Kingdom. The British population is more than ten times the population of Hong Kong, but the land The area is more than two hundred times that of Xiangjiang. There are few people in Xiangjiang, and the housing price is destined to be very high. The situation is different and there is no way to compare!" Yan Shining showed a stunned look, nodded and said, "So it is." After strolling around for a long time, seeing that the time is late, Xia Yu said: "It¡¯s late, everyone will make lunch together. For a while, we will have to do it ourselves." After speaking, I took everyone to the house Although according to the scale of Xia Yu¡¯s current manor, he should hire a housekeeper, a nanny, and a chef. When Xia Yu bought the manor, the intermediary This kind of suggestion was made, but Xia Yu thought about it, but refused. Their situation does not allow him to recruit outsiders such as housekeepers and nanny now. This is a critical period. Naturally, it is necessary to keep secrets as much as possible. If you hire strange butlers and nanny, in case Xia Yu''s gambling is accidentally known by them, it will inevitably be out of the question. Besides, Xia Yu is still accustomed to eating Chinese food. In the UK, if you want to find a chef who is proficient in Chinese food, you can still find it after a lot of effort, but it would be a bit troublesome to bring him back. After all, he came to the UK these years The Chinese are almost always dragging their families, so it is better to wait for others to cook and eat. Everyone worked together for more than an hour and finally prepared the food. Of course, the lunch was mainly made by Xia Yu, Li Qian and Yan Shining. Li Wuming and Hou Sheng didn¡¯t know how to cook. Hit a hand on the side. After eating lunch beautifully, Xia Yu lay down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching TV. Chapter 252: Wu Hongyi In the afternoon, after spending two hours in the manor, Xia Yu was bored and didn''t want to go to downtown London again. After thinking about it, he took everyone around the manor. In the morning, he got acquainted with the internal environment of the manor, but he is not yet familiar with the situation where his manor is located. Just take advantage of the fact that there is nothing wrong in the past few days, so take a good stroll. A group of people just walked around along the road. Because they were in the suburbs, there were relatively few houses, and most of them were in open areas, so they didn''t meet many people along the way, and occasionally met a few British people. Xia Yu also politely greeted them. Before I knew it, I walked to a river with a steel bridge above the river. He saw a black-haired man standing on the bridge, Xia Yu''s heart moved and his feet couldn''t help but walk over there. It''s just that Xia Yu was surprised before he took two steps. The man standing on the bridge suddenly jumped from the bridge into the river. The first reaction in Xia Yu''s mind was that this person couldn''t think of jumping into the river and committing suicide! "Go and save people quickly!" Xia Yu shouted, and immediately ran towards the river. After Yan Shining heard Xia Yu''s order, he ran faster than Xia Yu, and Li Wuming rushed directly to the front, ran on the bridge, and arrived. The place where the person jumped into the river, without a word, dived directly into the water. Just when Li Wuming jumped into the river, Xia Yu also got on the bridge, but he was a little dumbfounded to see the scene below. Because the man who jumped into the river just now could swim, he was swimming towards the shore, and he knew from the swimming posture that he was a veteran. Isn''t this man jumping into the river? Xia Yu was a little embarrassed, because he had misunderstood his feelings, but he was also thick-skinned and walked towards the shore without squinting. When he reached the shore, the black-haired man just climbed onto the shore. Li Wuming also climbed up tightly. Xia Yu nodded towards him and looked at the black-haired man. Although the black-haired man was wet all over and his hair was messy, he still couldn''t hide his face. Xia Yu saw that he had an Asian face and he was in his twenties. He did not know which country he was. Up. However, looking at his height of over 1.75 meters, Xia Yu guessed that he was not from an island nation. After going ashore, the black-haired young man saw Xia Yu''s group of people surrounding him. He was very embarrassed. When he was in the water, he heard Li Wuming''s cries and knew that he was making an oolong. Others thought he was jumping into the river. So come to save him. While this made him feel grateful, he was also embarrassed. "Thank you! I''m so sorry to trouble you!" The black-haired youth said directly in Chinese. Xia Yu''s eyes lit up, and he didn''t expect to be a Chinese. The unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared. It is indeed a happy thing to meet compatriots abroad. "It doesn''t matter, I thought you can''t want to jump into the river, it''s not just fine!" Xia Yu said with a smile. An embarrassment appeared on the face of the black-haired youth, but was immediately replaced by happiness. "No, I didn''t hold a necklace steady just now and I dropped it into the river. I was worried that it would not be found when it sank to the bottom, so I jumped into the river. Fortunately, I caught it in time." The black-haired young man explained, and then raised his right hand. Xia Yu saw that it was indeed a necklace. Judging from the workmanship and materials, he knew that it was very valuable. It made sense for the black-haired young man to jump directly into the river nervously. "By the way, hello, my name is Wu Hongyi, Wu Zixu''s Wu, the scholar must not be a British Chinese, and I am very glad to meet you!" The black-haired young man Wu Hongyi swept his eyes around the faces of everyone, and finally returned to Xia Yu, who was obviously the core figure, and introduced himself. "My name is Xia Yu. They are my friends Yan Shining, Li Wuming, Hou Sheng and Li Qian. We are all from Xiangjiang, and it has not been long since we came to the UK." Xia Yu introduced that when Yan Shining and others were introduced, they all smiled and nodded. "Since you are okay, let''s go first. You are soaked all over. Go back and change your clothes!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he planned to leave. Although Xia Yu was in a good mood when he met a Chinese, Xia Yu still knew what his priorities were when he saw Li Wuming''s fall. So he dispelled the idea of ??continuing to know Wu Hongyi. "I''m really sorry to trouble you. My house is nearby. If you don''t want to go to my house and have a cup of tea, I happen to change your clothes." Seeing Xia Yu and others leaving, Wu Hongyi said quickly. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, and he didn''t expect his house to be nearby. It seems that there will be an intersection in the future. "No, my house is not far away." Xia Yu smiled and refused and said, pointing in the direction he came. Wu Hongyi was a little surprised. The neighborhood was sparsely populated. He had lived here for so long. He had never seen Xia Yu and others. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to say that his house was also here. It seemed that he had just moved here. Since Xia Yu''s home is nearby, he is not in a hurry, he can always find opportunities to thank Xia Yu and others, so he will not persuade him more. "All right, thank you so much!" Wu Hongyi was grateful again. Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and then left with Li Wuming and others. "Ding Dong, Ding Dong!" Not long after returning home, Li Wuming changed his clothes. Xia Yu heard the sound of the doorbell, and everyone in the living room immediately looked at the door. Li Wuming, Yan Shining and others immediately increased their vigilance. Why does someone ring the doorbell? Who is the one? Xia Yu frowned slightly and signaled Hou Sheng to open the door. Hou Sheng immediately walked towards the door. When the door was opened, a figure appeared in front of everyone. Seeing this person, Xia Yu and others dropped their vigilance. It turned out that it was Wu Hongyi. At this time, he had changed his clothes and his hair was blown dry. Carrying some gifts. Xia Yu and others stood up and walked towards Wu Hongyi who was standing at the door with a smile. "So you really live here, you didn''t find it wrong!" Wu Hongyi said with a smile. "Come in and sit, so polite, and bring things over." The visitor was a guest, let alone a Chinese. Xia Yu was naturally very enthusiastic and walked forward to take the things in his hand and invited Wu Hongyi in. Wu Hongyi was not polite, and walked in and sat on a stool, Li Qian immediately poured tea for Wu Hongyi. "Mr. Wu how do you know we live here?" Xia Yu questioned that Yan Shining and others were also concerned about this issue, looking straight at him. The eyes of everyone did not make Wu Hongyi uncomfortable. He laughed and said: "Everyone is Chinese, don¡¯t need to be so, call me Hongyi. It¡¯s also a coincidence that the closest to you is my home. I am familiar with this area. There are relatively few houses, and the only unoccupied manor is this manor. Since you have just arrived, you must live here. No, it just happened to be found." Xia Yu looked at Wu Hongyi with some surprise, but he didn''t expect it to be such a coincidence. In this case, Wu Hongyi is still his neighbor, this fate! "Haha, then we will be neighbors from now on, please take care of it!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "It should be to take care of each other!" Wu Hongyi smiled and corrected Xia Yu''s words, so Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. Chapter 253: Uchino "Mr. Xia..." "I call you Hongyi, and you also call me Xia Yu. As the saying goes, the title "Mr." is too strange." Just as Wu Hongyi spoke, Xia Yu interrupted him and said sincerely. Wu Hongyi smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Xia Yu!" "Thank you!" "Xia Yu, have you been to Chinatown after being here for a few days?" Wu Hongyi said thank you to Li Qian, took a sip of tea, looked at Xia Yu, and asked with a smile. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "I haven''t been, just a few days ago, and haven''t strolled there. You are still the first Chinese we met in London." "Oh? It''s my pleasure!" Wu Hongyi said with a little surprise in time. Hearing what Xia Yu said, Wu Hongyi smiled and said in his heart that it was indeed predestined. Then, Wu Hongyi began to enthusiastically tell Xia Yu some common sense that he could use. "The Chinese who come to London will basically settle in Juellu Street, Westminster in central London. We call it Chinatown, which is also commonly known as Chinatown, but now the London government has not given an official name, so you ask They might say they don¡¯t know where a London citizen¡¯s Chinatown is." "I know Chinatown. I grew up there. I know everyone except those who have moved here in the past two years. I will be free during this time. If you want to go to Chinatown, I will take you there. I promise Let you eat it for fun!" "Furthermore, if the compatriots in Chinatown know that there are Chinese coming to London, they will definitely entertain you very warmly!" Xia Yu and the others looked at each other and smiled. Wu Hongyi is a straightforward and enthusiastic person. Xia Yu gratefully said to Wu Hongyi: "Chinatown must go, but will it bother you?" "No trouble, no trouble. When we come to London, we Chinese should unite closely to be able to live better!" Wu Hongyi waved his hand and said, but this seemed a bit emotional, Xia Yu guessed the reason after a little thought. The Chinese in the UK and London are foreigners after all. Such differences in skin color and culture will naturally cause the Chinese to be rejected. Coupled with other historical reasons, the Chinese can be said to have come from the former or current British colonies. Naturally, they will be despised and bullied by the British who call themselves "gentlemen" on the surface, but in fact they are proud of themselves. Various factors make the situation of the Chinese in the UK not very good. If the Chinese do not cling to each other, then there is really no way to live. Presumably, these Chinese in London have been crowded out and suppressed a lot over the years, otherwise Wu Hongyi would not be so emotional. ... Chatting with Wu Hongyi over tea, the time passed, unconsciously it was evening. After checking the time, it was time to cook. Xia Yu invited Wu Hongyi, "Let¡¯s eat here tonight, and call your family over. Let¡¯s get more fun together, and let us get to know by the way." Wu Hongyi was not polite. He smiled and said, "Then I will be disrespectful." "By the way, I am alone in my house, no one else is there. Since my mother passed away, I have always lived in that house." Upon hearing this, Xia Yu apologized: "I''m sorry, but it''s sad." "It''s okay, it''s all over!" Wu Hongyi said with a smile. "Do you cook by yourself?" "Yes, there is no habit of inviting chefs and servants to eat more by yourself." Xia Yu explained a little bit. "That''s better, let me help you fight!" Wu Hongyi rolled up his sleeves and followed Xia Yu and others into the kitchen. Seeing Wu Hongyi''s skillful washing of vegetables, Xia Yu was a little surprised, because according to his observation, Wu Hongyi should be a rich boy, as can be seen from his temperament, clothes and the necklace before. It''s just that Xia Yu is a little confused now seeing his movements. He couldn''t figure it out, and he didn''t bother to bother about it. After all, he just met Wu Hongyi today. When he gets familiar with it later, he will naturally learn more. When Xia Yu, Yan Shining, Li Qian, and Wu Hongyi were busy in the kitchen, Xia Yu did not realize that Hou Sheng did not know when he ran out of the house. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he returned to the villa again, with something alive and kicking in his hands, and ran into the kitchen happily. "Monkey, yes, where did you get it?" When Hou Sheng first arrived at the kitchen door, he was immediately seen by the highly vigilant Yan Shining. When Yan Shining saw what Hou Sheng was holding, he suddenly smiled and asked. "Hey!" Hou Sheng just chuckled, and didn''t say anything, this expression made Yan Shining couldn''t help but want to beat him up. Yan Shining''s words also attracted the attention of Xia Yu and others. Xia Yu stopped working and looked at the things in Hou Sheng''s hands. He also showed an unexpected smile. The three wild pigeons in his left hand turned out to be Turtle doves, at this time the wings of the three turtle doves were firmly grasped by Hou Sheng''s thugs, and the three turtle doves kept making "cooing" sounds. On the other hand, Hou Sheng''s right hand was holding the ears of a gray rabbit. This rabbit was very large, estimated to be more than three catties. At this time, the rabbit looked very panicked and kept kicking his legs, but it was a pity that the rabbit in the air could not bear it. When it comes to strength, I can only struggle for nothing. "Hou Sheng, where did these come from?" Xia Yu asked with an unexpected expression. Hou Sheng would naturally answer Xia Yu''s words honestly. He smiled and said: "Just inside the manor, when I was walking around the manor in the morning, I found many rabbit holes and some rabbits ran out, and turtledoves were not afraid of people. , So I wrote it down. When a guest came tonight, I thought of getting a few." It didn''t take long to see Hou Sheng doing it easily. He actually caught three turtledoves and a hare, both of which are not easy to catch game. I didn''t expect him to catch it so easily. "Not bad, Hou Sheng, you are capable enough, you can''t go hungry anywhere!" Xia Yu praised. "Hey, my ancestors were hunters for three generations, so I was trained by my dad since I was a kid. It was useless for so many years and my skills were rusty, but fortunately the British turtledoves and rabbits are better to catch." After Yan Shining took the rabbit, UU Reading Hou Sheng''s hand was empty. After hearing Xia Yu''s praise, he was happy and a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said. "Haha!" Seeing Hou Sheng''s appearance, Xia Yu couldn''t help being happy. "Hongyi, it seems that there are good food tonight, and I am still worried about not having good food to serve you, this is not here!" Xia Yu looked at Wu Hongyi who was also surprised, and said with a smile. "Haha, tonight''s dinner will be very rich!" Wu Hongyi agreed with a smile. "Come on, let''s do it together!" Xia Yu greeted, and then several men began to pack the three turtledoves and one hare. There were so many people and powerful, and there were two veterans, Hou Sheng and Yan Shining, and they were all cleaned up after three hits, and a group of people became very busy. Chapter 254: Dream wedding Afterwards, a group of people ate a sumptuous dinner, and then sent him out of Wu Hongyi''s repeated thanks, and made an appointment to take Xia Yu and others to Chinatown the day after tomorrow. After Wu Hongyi left, Xia Yu went upstairs to take a bath. After the bath, due to eating too much hare and turtledove soup, Xia Yu was warm and energetic, and had no urge to sleep. In desperation, Xia Yu strolled upstairs. Because the house is too big, covering an area of ??more than 1,300 square meters, he just walked around on the ground floor and outside the manor during the day, and then just looked for the bedroom, and didn''t have time to look upstairs carefully! Except for his and Li Qian¡¯s bedrooms on the second floor, Xia Yu opened the doors one by one and took a look at the other rooms. The house was well maintained, and there were no cobwebs or ashes. Of course, there are fewer other items, and the rooms seem a little empty. At this moment, when Xia Yu pushed open a room, he found that there was still a large object inside, which was covered up and looked like a grand piano. Xia Yu once thought, it seems that the owner of the manor mentioned that there is a piano as a gift. It must be this one! "Patter!" Xia Yu was a little curious, turned on the light, walked into this spacious room, gently lifted the cloth, a noble and elegant grand piano stood quietly there, and the shiny black body showed solemnity and atmosphere. Sense of. Xia Yuqing couldn¡¯t help but look at the sign, and couldn¡¯t help but raise his brow. It turned out to be Steinway¡¯s piano. This is the number one brand in the world. Every piano is a top-quality product. Unexpectedly, the original manor kept this. To Xia Yu. However, I heard that the original manor mainly immigrated to the United States. This kind of grand piano, which is generally used for large-scale performances, is indeed not easy to carry. After the removal, professionals must be asked to re-tune the pitch. It is very cumbersome and troublesome. It may be the original manor owner. In order to save trouble, so don''t do it! Xia Yu didn''t bother to think about it, anyway, no matter what the reason was, now this piano belongs to him, and this is the most important thing. Gently stroking the smooth body, Xia Yu couldn''t help itching his hands. He has never learned piano in his previous life or in this life, but he can''t bear other people''s ability. Many big guys have other specialties, and there are many big guys who can play piano. Xia Yu also wanted to experience firsthand what it''s like to play the piano, and why many upper-class people are so keen to play the piano to relax. As soon as he thought of it, Xia Yu set up the piano cover lightly, then sat on the stool, placing his hands on the black and white piano keys according to the gestures he remembered. "Hey..." With a light finger, Xia Yu became familiar with the memory. From the beginning of Doremi''s whistling Rashid to the complete song later, Xia Yu quickly adapted. The only problem was that his fingers could not keep up with his thoughts. After all, no matter how much memory you have, your physical memory can only be memorized for years and months, so it¡¯s normal for your fingers to not keep up with the rhythm. It¡¯s okay to practice more later. While Xia Yu was playing the piano, Li Qian, who had just finished taking a shower, heard the melodious and beautiful sound of the piano, and she couldn''t help being curious. "Who is playing the piano?" Li Qian, who was wearing loose pink pajamas, didn''t think much, opened the door and saw that the boss''s room door opened. There seemed to be no one inside. Li Qian guessed that it was the boss who played the piano. Following the sound, Li Qian soon walked to the door of the piano room, and she saw Xia Yu sitting on the stool with her back facing her, walking with her hands on the keys, and the beautiful melody was broadcast from the piano. Li Qian couldn''t help but stop and listen, her gaze towards Xia Yu was full of curiosity and exploration. "Unexpectedly, the boss could play the piano, and he is so good at it! How did he practice?" "Moreover, at a young age, the boss not only made such a big business from scratch, he can also write books, draw cartoons, and now he can play the piano. What else does the boss not know?" Li Qian tilted her head slightly, her small head was full of questions. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the boss was very powerful and seemed to be omnipotent. Not long after he contacted the boss, she discovered many abilities of the boss. She was very curious about why the boss met at a young age. So many things. Seeing Xia Yu''s elegant back, Li Qian only felt a mysterious halo covering him. Li Qian''s mind was unconsciously attracted by Xia Yu, and the gaze looking at Xia Yu slowly became blurred and admired. There is no girl who does not cherish spring, and Li Qian is no exception. She grew up in an orphanage and couldn''t dress herself up, so she dressed very old fashioned, until she grew up, the rustic dress could not conceal her beauty. However, because of her low self-esteem and the dean''s grandmother''s advice, she puts her mind on her study and never pretends to pursue the pursuit of others. During other vacations, she also took part-time work to earn money for her studies. Naturally, she didn¡¯t have the time and the mind to fall in love, so she was 21 years old and she was so beautiful, but she was still a big girl. . However, I finally graduated this year, and as soon as I graduated, I went to work in such a good company as Jiuding Newspaper Company. Li Qian finally relaxed completely, no longer suppressing herself, and having time to observe other people. In these days as a secretary for Xia Yu, Li Qian has learned more and more about Xia Yu, but as her understanding has increased, she has become more confused, and the image of the handsome young boss in her mind has become more and more mysterious. And tall. Until now, seeing Xia Yu playing the piano again, Li Qian''s mind was completely messed up. While listening to Wan Tuan''s music, she unknowingly was full of information about the boss. At this moment, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and Li Qian returned to her senses, reacting to what she had just thought, her face blushed, but she still looked at Xia Yu''s figure. "Hey..." At this moment, after a few seconds of pause, the piano sounded again, and the melody changed again. The melody that appeared was very strange. When Li Qian joined the music club at university, she had never heard of this kind of music. The tune is very beautiful and vivid, and unconsciously outlines a charming picture. Li Qian understands some knowledge of music theory, so her mind is quickly absorbed. As the tunes flowed, Li Qian''s jade hand was placed on her chest unknowingly, her eye sockets slowly turned red, and Shui Lingling''s big eyes became moist. She understood the sweetness and sadness in the song, and because of this, her mood was dragged by the song. "I really hope that lovers can finally get married." Li Qian, who was completely immersed in the tune, couldn''t help muttering. It just so happened that Xia Yu had finished playing at this time. Hearing Li Qian¡¯s peculiar voice, he looked back and saw Li Qian in a pink pajamas standing at the door, holding his hands on his chest and pressing them tightly on his chest. There was a look of prayer, and a complex look of sadness and joy appeared on his beautiful face. Xia Yu stood up, walked to her, and found that Li Qian hadn''t recovered yet. Xia Yu couldn''t help being happy. He shook his hand in front of Li Qian. Seeing the afterimage in front of her, Li Qian finally recovered. When she found Xia Yu''s smiling face, she couldn''t help but blush, and said shyly, "Boss!" Maybe it was because she was eavesdropping that she was discovered by the boss. She twisted her body embarrassedly, and the pair of majestic twin peaks on her chest trembled. Xia Yu retracted his gaze and sighed secretly, he took a deep breath, already full of anger tonight, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and asked, "Why don''t you sleep?" "Boss, I just finished taking a shower, and then I heard the piano sound, so I came over." Li Qian explained that when it came to the sound of the piano, Li Qian remembered the tune again. She suddenly forgot to be embarrassed, blinked with big ruddy eyes, pouted and asked, "Boss, what is the last tune just now? The name is so nice! I have never heard of it!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "That song is called "The Wedding in a Dream"!" That¡¯s right, the last one just now was Xia Yu¡¯s favorite piano piece in his previous life. It was played by the piano prince Richard Clayderman. This piece is famous all over the world, but it hasn¡¯t been written yet, so wait. It was only a few years for the interview, and it was normal that Li Qian hadn''t heard of it. "Oh, it''s called the wedding in a dream, it''s very vivid!" Recalling the picture depicted by the tune, Li Qian said her name again and whispered. Chapter 255: Beasts, beasts "Boss, do you have someone you like? Did you compose this song for her?" Li Qian didn''t think much, couldn''t help but ask, blinking her big eyes to look at Xia Yu. Because from the tune, she heard one person¡¯s love for another person, but the sad melody behind revealed that they were not together in the end. Now when I heard the name, she knew that the wedding was only in a dream, so the whole The first song expresses the love for a person. And it may be that Xia Yu was too omnipotent in her impression, and was able to trade stocks, write books, draw comics, and engage in design, so Li Qian subconsciously believed that this song was also made by the boss himself. Xia Yu was not upset by Li Qian''s abruptness. He knew that Li Qian''s personality was very cute except when he was working. He didn''t know if he didn''t like to use his brain to think, or which nerve was different. He smiled and said: "No, this piece was made by two French masters, and it depicts a moving love story." "really?" Hearing that there is a love story behind the song, Li Qian''s girlish heart and curiosity are bursting, and the resistance of girls to such things is very low, and Li Qian is naturally no exception. Seeing Li Qian''s curious and cute appearance, Xia Yu smiled. The inferiority of men broke out at this moment, and it was time to harvest the girl''s sense of worship, especially since this girl is still so beautiful, then naturally she should show off! "Come, let''s sit down and speak slowly." Taking Li Qian to the stool next to him, Xia Yu whispered, looking at the look Li Qian was expecting. "The story begins in a dream country. On the border of the country of dreams, a bunch of bonfires are rising, stretching, lingering... A soldier looked at the high castle in the distance. He had been away for 6 years and it was time to return. In the dark night, meteors passed by, leaving behind dazzling brilliance. ... During the six years, the soldiers missed her all the time, loved her all the time... ... When the sun rose from the horizon, he walked towards the castle in the sunlight. There was a festive atmosphere in the castle, colorful flags were hung everywhere, and people sang joyfully. "Today, is there any happy event?" he asked a passerby. "Today, the princess will have a wedding with the prince of a neighboring country!" In an instant, he heard the sound of broken dreams. He was stunned, looking forward to six years, in an instant, across his face, fell into the snow. A bright moon rose into the sky. When the church bell rang, he walked slowly towards the church. In any case, he will see her. People are already waiting for the princess on the way from the palace to the church. He stood in the crowd, waiting quietly. When the princess took the prince''s hand and walked out of the palace, the crowd boiled. He stared at the princess¡¯s face. This was the last time he saw her. From now on, he will leave the country of dreams forever. He vowed to forget all the memories, all the pains, and the deep love... When she walked in front of him, their eyes met. Suddenly, he pushed aside the guards blocking the crowd and rushed forward. The guard drew his sword, but it was too late. He had rushed to the princess. He opened his arms. At that moment, he saw the princess''s horrified expression. "Don''t be afraid, I will protect you." He said softly. He felt a tingling pain in his back, and he heard the sound of sharp arrows passing through his body. Slowly, he fell under her feet. Just now, no one saw a bow and arrow facing the princess in the crowd on the opposite side. ... He opened his eyes, she was wearing a wedding dress, looking at him with a smile. Beside them, the angel sang a blessing song for them. "Is this a dream?" he murmured. "A dream is enough." He squeezed her hand. ... A meteor flashed over the castle, like a tear of happiness..." "It''s very touching. I really hope that the soldier and the princess can be together, instead of just having the wedding in a dream." Li Qian murmured in tears. Seeing Li Qian''s shy and lovely appearance, Xia Yu couldn''t help but feel happy. She was a girl, and he could be immersed in a love story. "Boss, can you play it again? I really want to hear it." Li Qian couldn''t help but grabbed Xia Yu''s arm, and said a little coquettishly, that she had forgotten the distinction of identity and did not consider whether this request was reasonable. Li Qian was originally the kind of whispering voice, and then deliberately throwing the bridge, Xia Yu''s bones were soft. More importantly, Li Qian didn¡¯t seem to notice that she actually grabbed Xia Yu¡¯s hand too far, so that Xia Yu¡¯s arm could clearly feel Li Qian¡¯s softness, and Xia Yu discovered a secret, that is Li Qian There is no covering measures, otherwise the touch is definitely not so deep! The soft feeling, coupled with the infinite thinking, made Xia Yu''s heart tremble. At this moment, Xia Yu almost wanted to push Li Qian, but he knew that this was a subconscious action of Li Qian, not deliberately trying to seduce him. If he became a wolf, he might really frighten Li Qian. . "Okay, I''ll play it again for you!" Xia Yu took a deep breath, quickly diverted his attention, stood up and walked towards the piano. "Yeah, thank you boss!" Li Qian jumped up for joy, and the pair of babies on her chest jumped, causing the pink pajamas to shake. It''s a pity, because Xia Yu walked towards the piano at this time and didn''t see this temptation. "Hey..." Xia Yu''s hands wandered on the black and white keys again, and the beautiful melody sounded again. Li Qian dragged her chin and looked at Xia Yu with blurred eyes, and her thoughts once again entered the poignant picture. At the end of the song, when Li Qian came back to her senses again, Qiao''s face unknowingly brought tears on her face. "really beatiful!" Li Qian muttered to herself. Xia Yu got up again and walked towards Li Qian. Seeing her look, she knew that she really liked the song. Xia Yu moved in his heart and said, "Li Qian, if you like this piece, I can teach you how to play it. Do you know the basic music theory?" "I learned something in college, boss, is it really okay?" Li Qian said in surprise. Seeing Li Qian''s happy look, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course it''s okay, I can teach you now!" "Great, thank you boss!" Li Qian said with joy. "Come, sit down!" Li Qian obediently obeyed Xia Yu''s arrangement and sat in front of the piano. Xia Yu directly took her hand and placed it on the corresponding piano key. Li Qian''s mind was completely filled with expectations, and she didn''t realize it was wrong. "Come on, let''s start, you remember the position of the keys!" Xia Yu stood behind Li Qian and said softly, and then began to teach seriously. One who studied hard and the other taught carefully, Li Qian quickly memorized a melody and played it off and on. Seeing that she had succeeded, Li Qianqiao''s face was full of joy, and she also praised Xia Yu for teaching well, which naturally made Xia Yu more motivated. Because Li Qian has learned a little bit, Xia Yu doesn''t have to teach it all the time, and he has taken back some of his attention and has other thoughts to observe. Since Xia Yu was standing behind Li Qian teaching hand in hand, almost always sticking to her. Just now, he was focusing on teaching. Xia Yu didn''t care about it. Now that he relaxed, he naturally found something wrong. But fortunately, Li Qian was very nervous, and she didn''t notice that it was wrong! Although the problem was discovered, Xia Yu didn''t plan to leave, and the big move easily made Li Qian react. Turning her head slightly and looking at Li Qian¡¯s face, the two faces are very close, almost less than ten centimeters apart. The delicate pores on Li Qian¡¯s beautiful face can be seen clearly, Shui Lingling¡¯s big eyes and micro The long trembling eyelashes fascinated Xia Yu for a while. The heat blowing on her face made Li Qian feel a little itchy. She finally noticed that Xia Yu''s posture was a bit ambiguous, but she did not say it because of her shy and weak personality, but silently accepted it, only two things appeared on her pretty face. The blush showed her inner fluctuations. Xia Yu also noticed the blush on Li Qian''s face. He calmly retracted his gaze and looked down at Li Qian''s hands. Just the moment he bowed his head, he was stunned! Looking straight there, he almost got a nosebleed. Since Li Qian was wearing a loose pink pajamas, and she was now leaning forward, so her neckline was wide open, Xia Yu was condescending, and she was naturally unobstructed. This thing is not coded! Where is the mosaic? come out faster! Xia Yu wanted to look away, but at this moment, he realized that he seemed to be single for too long, and his will could not control his body. His gaze went straight through Li Qian''s wide open neckline and looked down. Appreciated wanton. At this moment, Xia Yu finally understood why the national men''s football played so badly, and there are still so many fans crazy support. Because watching football is really exciting! Very exciting! After playing, Li Qian felt a little discomfort behind her back, she couldn''t help twisting her body, and even more so that the part shook violently. Xia Yu''s eyes stared and her breathing became heavier. "Boss, why did you bring a stick?" Li Qian said suspiciously, her hand stretched out involuntarily... "Huh? What is this? Yeah..." Li Qian was puzzled at first, then looked at Xia Yu, her face flushed, panting heavily, she looked over, and finally reacted, with a cry of exclamation, her pretty face turned red instantly. "I can''t stand it anymore!" The red-eyed Xia Yu let out a low growl and rushed forward directly. "Boss...no...well..." Li Qian, who was still a young girl, didn''t know how to deal with this sudden situation. She was completely dazed by her weak personality, and was directly taken by Xia Yu and... (This is a car to kindergarten, 200,000 characters are omitted here...) In the morning, Xia Yu quietly opened his eyes, and then felt his hand press on a soft place. "Hey..." Before waking up, he looked at it mechanically, and his whole body was suddenly excited, his brain was instantly awake, and the memory of last night quickly recovered. Seeing Li Qian''s slightly furrowed eyebrows in his sleep, he covered his forehead. After a long time, he spit out a few words: "I''m going, what''s going on..." "I knew that the secretary is like a fairy, and something will happen sooner or later, as expected..." Looking at Li Qian again, his eyes were attracted again, Xia Yu took a deep breath and resisted the impulse, and began to think. Chapter 256: Get it (2 "Ok!" With a pleasant soft moan, Xia Yu, who was sitting in a daze by the bed, recovered and looked at Li Qian who was lying on the bed. Li Qian opened her misty eyes, put her hands on the bed and wanted to get up, but she felt sore all over her body. She took a breath and frowned. When she saw Xia Yu sitting by the bed looking at her with concern, Li Qian, who was still confused, rubbed her eyes and asked: "Boss, why did you come in?" "Are you awake? Put on your clothes first, don''t catch a cold!" Xia Yu didn''t answer Li Qian''s question, but instead said with a smile. "clothes?" Li Qian tilted her head and looked at Xia Yu suspiciously, and muttered. At this time, Li Qian felt a little chill on her chest. She lowered her head in a daze. When she saw her appearance, she mechanically looked up at Xia Yu who was smiling at her. After a few seconds, she finally reacted. "Yeah..." In the exclamation, Li Qian suddenly pulled up the quilt to cover her charming figure, her pretty face flushed as if she was about to bleed. "Boss...you...I..." Li Qian wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, looked at Xia Yu, and said incoherently. Just looking at the apology on Xia Yu''s face, Li Qian calmed down a bit, a mess of memories filled her mind, and everything that happened last night was remembered. Li Qian''s eye sockets were instantly red, and her beautiful big eyes were covered with a mist, and then, crystal clear tears flowed out of her beautiful eyes. "Hi...hoooo..." Li Qian wrapped the quilt tightly and started to cry softly. Li Qian''s pear blossoms brought rain, and I saw the pity that Xia Yu couldn''t help but pull her heart, and the guilt on her face became more intense. "Li Qian, I''m sorry, don''t cry for now, okay?" Xia Yu comforted softly, and moved his position to get closer to Li Qian. But seeing Xia Yu''s actions, she remembered Xia Yu''s rudeness last night, and she felt a shadow in her heart. She shrank back like a reflex, trying to stay away from Xia Yu. "Don''t come here, woooo..." Seeing Li Qian''s reaction, Xia Yu stopped approaching, lest she panic even more. "You put on your clothes first, I''ll go out first, and then come in later." Xia Yu thought for a while, let Li Qian wear clothes and calm down first. He stood up and said to Li Qian, then walked out of the room under Li Qian''s gaze and closed the door. Seeing Xia Yu''s departure, Li Qian relaxed slightly. Thinking of what happened last night, she was at a loss while crying. After a while, she cleared up her mood, opened the quilt, picked up Xia Yu by the bed and prepared it, and put on the neatly stacked clothes quickly. After getting dressed, her mood calmed down a bit, but she was still at a loss about what happened to her boss Xia Yu, and she didn''t know how to deal with it. Although she had a very good impression of Xia Yu, and even because she was too curious, she had a hint of goodwill unknowingly, but she still had no idea of ??being with Xia Yu. One is because in her opinion, she is five years older than Xia Yu, and there is a difference in age. The second is that although Xia Yu is young, she is her boss, and there is a huge gap between them. The most important thing is that He Chaoqiong who met at the airport should be Xia Yu''s girlfriend. She has a relationship with Xia Yu. She doesn''t know how to face He Chaoqiong. The kind-hearted nature came to her mind at this moment. It turned out to be sorry for He Chaoqiong''s thoughts. Although it can be said that Xia Yu forced her to push her last night, now Li Qian recalled the situation at that time and realized that she also had a problem. She shouldn''t be confused about this place as her own home, appearing habitually in dress, and even running to the full of blood. In front of Xia Yu. It can be said that a large part of what happened in the end was in her own body, and her unintentional temptation led to the following things. Thinking of what happened last night, Li Qian was upset and wanted to escape everything. I just thought that I would go abroad with Xia Yu, and there would be no way to avoid it alone. "what should I do?" Li Qian sat on the bed helplessly, muttering to herself blankly. "Li Qian, are you ready? I''m coming in!" This is, after two knocks on the door, Xia Yu''s voice came from outside the door, causing Li Qian to recover and look at the closed door. Li Qian''s complexion was complicated, and her small mouth squirmed and whispered, "Come in!" "Click!" As the door lock twisted, Xia Yu pushed open the door and saw Li Qian''s complicated eyes all at once. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Qian didn''t want to open it, and the reaction was satisfactory. Close the door, Xia Yu walked to the bed and sat down, not too close, worried that Li Qian would become nervous again, and the conversation would be affected later. The two looked at each other for a while. Xia Yu took the lead in showing an apologetic smile. He said softly: "Cici, I''m sorry, I blame you for being so good, and I also blame the wild pigeons that Hou Sheng caught yesterday. I ate too much. If you get too angry, something like that will happen. Otherwise, although I like you, I won''t force you! I swear!" Xia Yu spoke with a serious expression, and made a gesture of swearing to heaven. "Puff!" Seeing Xia Yu seriously talking about strange reasons and deliberately shouting intimate nicknames, Li Qianqiao blushed and couldn''t help but smile, but after seeing Xia Yu also smiled, she immediately reacted, holding her small The mouth forces myself not to laugh. "It really works! Fortunately!" Seeing the effect of his words, the atmosphere eased a little, Xia Yu secretly said with joy. "Cici, can you give me a chance to make up?" Xia Yu took advantage of the victory, looked at Li Qian sincerely, and said sincerely. Li Qian was caught off guard when she heard Xia Yu''s similar confession. She blinked at Xia Yu, but she didn''t know how to answer. However, Xia Yu''s words also had an effect, at least it gave Li Qian a little more comfort in her bewildered heart, and she felt a lot more at ease. Xia Yu''s naked and sincere gaze made Li Qianqiao''s face full of blush. She glanced away and did not dare to look at Xia Yu, but her bitter heart became happy because of Xia Yu''s love words. At this moment, He Chaoqiong''s figure appeared in Li Qian''s mind again, and the joy that had just appeared in her heart disappeared instantly, but the sense of loss was even greater. "Boss, you..." Just as Li Qian spoke, she was interrupted by Xia Yu. "Cici, don''t call my boss, call me Xia Yu or A Yu, okay?" Xia Yu said that he wanted to use step by step influence to make Li Qian adapt quickly. Li Qian''s personality is weak and she is not good at rejecting people, especially even though Xia Yu is asking, but there is an unquestionable tone in her words, so Li Qian dare not refuse. "Okay, Xia... Xia Yu!" "Cici is awesome, you will call me that from now on, don''t call the boss anymore." Xia Yu said with a smile, and Li Qian blushed with a little coaxing tone. "Xia Yu, you already have a girlfriend, we can''t afford her like this." Li Qian pursed her lips and said tangledly. Just after speaking, her gaze looked at Xia Yu tightly. She was at a loss at first, but since Xia Yu confessed to her, this choice is not unacceptable. This is the end of the matter, and it is not impossible to get along from now on. But there is a problem in this, and that is He Chaoqiong! Li Qian is kind by nature, and her personality is weak and indifferent, and she doesn''t want to be a footer. "I have a girlfriend?" Xia Yu stared slightly and looked at Li Qian somewhat unexpectedly. Xia Yu''s reaction made Li Qian confused. She said, "Isn''t your girlfriend who came to see you at the airport?" Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, and quickly explained: "No, she is my very good friend!" "She is He Chaoqiong, the daughter of He Hongshen, the oldest gambling king. Her brother He Youguang was with her before." Hearing the first sentence, Li Qian''s mood improved, but Xia Yu''s last sentence made him sit in an ice cellar. It turned out to be the rich lady! Even if she had just graduated from university, she had heard of the names of He Hongshen and the wealthy He family. He Chaoqiong specially ran to the airport to send Xia Yu off. Even if she is not Xia Yu''s girlfriend, then the relationship must be very special. She should have liked Xia Yu for some time, and relatively speaking, she is still a latecomer. Fighting with a rich lady? Li Qian pursed her lips, feeling very complicated. Thinking of He Chaoqiong¡¯s identity, she suddenly thought of a very serious problem, that is, Xia Yu¡¯s identity, a tycoon-level figure, and she is just a civilian girl who grew up in a welfare institution. Instead of Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong and Xia Yu are close friends. Seeing Li Qian''s sudden loss of silence, Xia Yu also realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly remedied: "Xi Qian, give me a chance and give yourself a chance. Let''s try to get along first, okay? I really I like you!" Xia Yu moved a long distance forward as he said, and tightly grasped Li Qian''s jade hand to express his heart. Li Qian struggled a few times, but didn''t break free and stopped struggling. In Xia Yu''s sincere and eager eyes, feeling the masculine scent exuding Xia Yu, Li Qian''s brain was blank, she reflexively nodded her head, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Hmm!" "Haha, Cici, I will definitely not let you down!" Seeing that Li Qian finally agreed, Xia Yu was pleasantly surprised and took Li Qian into her arms. Li Qian first reflexively struggled a few times, but the strong hormonal breath exuding from Xia Yu made her whole body weak. , The clear heartbeat attracted Li Qian''s attention, she lay quietly in Xia Yu''s arms and silently endured it. After a while, Li Qian whispered shyly: "Xia Yu, let me go, I''m almost out of breath." Xia Yu let go of Li Qian when she heard the sound, and holding her arm, looked at the shy Li Qian and couldn''t help but smile. After a while, Xia Yu took Li Qian''s hand and said softly: "Let''s go, it''s late, it''s time to get up and eat breakfast!" After speaking, Xia Yu took Li Qian and walked outside. When Yan Shining and others downstairs saw Xia Yu leading Li Qian down the stairs, the three quickly exchanged their eyes, and then stood up respectfully. "boss!" Only after speaking, the three looked at Li Qian, who bowed her head shyly, then looked at Xia Yu, and asked Xia Yu with their eyes. "I declare that Cici will be my girlfriend from now on!" Xia Yu laughed and announced loudly, Li Qian even shyly wanted to bury her head on her chest. Yan Shining and the three laughed immediately, and even Li Wuming, who rarely laughed, gave a blunt smile. "Congratulations boss!" ... At the end of the day, Li Qian also gradually adjusted to some, and no longer dared to face Yan Shining and others. Yan Shining and the others also knew Li Qian¡¯s character, so the three of them pretended to be okay and avoided adding to her. pressure. It''s just that her attitude towards her has slightly changed, but the cute Li Qian can''t find it. Xia Yu didn''t go out during the day. After all, Xia Yu was strong after practicing martial arts, and he was suppressed for so many years. It was not an ordinary woman who could bear it, let alone Li Qian, a young man? After strenuous exercise last night, Li Qian must be very uncomfortable, and Xia Yu naturally needs to care about her body. However, he also sent Yan Shining and Hou Sheng to the city and asked the dealership to bring the two cars over. At night, Li Qian originally wanted to go back to her room to sleep, but under Xia Yu''s "I have already slept together anyway, it is also the relationship between boy and girl friends", and under the guarantee that Li Qian would no longer be with her. Xia Yu drew him closer to the room while pushing halfway. This night, Xia Yu naturally did not incarnate as a beast. But there is a good saying that men''s words are deceitful! Although Xia Yu did not rectify Li Qian on the spot, she was very dishonest all night, and Li Qian, who had a weak personality and did not know how to resist, was finally lost under Xia Yu''s demon. Without a word for a night, Xia Yu, who slept beautifully, opened his eyes and found that Li Qian was also awake, looking at him in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking. When Xia Yu was awake, Li Qian quickly looked away, but her pretty face blushed, making Xia Yu ready to move. Without hesitation, Xia Yu''s hand climbed to an indescribable place. I was played with by Xia Yu last night, and Li Qian acquiesced, so now even though Xia Yu is dishonest, Li Qian is also blushing to bear it, and she doesn¡¯t tell Xia Yu to stop messing around, because she knows what she said. It was useless, so she simply accepted it! A girlfriend of Li Qian''s character and figure is definitely an excellent companion for a man. When playing with him, Xia Yu kept sighing that his luck was so good that he actually met Li Qian, a girl like no other. "Xia Yu, it''s time to get up. Today, Wu Hongyi has an appointment with you to go to Chinatown." After a while, Li Qian felt that if she didn''t stop her, Xia Yu would be able to play all morning, then she would have no face to see Yan Shining and others, so she blushed and reminded softly. "Haha, come on, get up!" Xia Yu laughed, touched it again, lifted the quilt amid Li Qianjiao''s cry, and began to put on his clothes. After Xia Yu and the others finished their breakfast, Wu Hongyi happened to arrive. When Wu Hongyi saw Li Qian Xiaoniao following Xia Yu like a human, he raised his brow and felt the difference. Seeing Wu Hongyi''s doubts, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Hongyi, Xi Qian is my girlfriend." "Congratulations, you are a good match!" Wu Hongyi quickly smiled and congratulated. "Haha, thank you! Cici is indeed a good girl!" Xia Yu laughed and said that he looked at Li Qian with love in his eyes. Xia Yu''s words and gaze made Li Qian feel very safe. She was shy and at the same time showing a joyful smile from the heart. The hand held by Xia Yu couldn''t help but firmly grasped Xia Yu''s hand. Xia Yu also made a slight effort to express his heart and took a big bite of dog food unexpectedly. Wu Hongyi was a little dumbfounded, and shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more. "Xia Yu, let''s go, I will take you to Chinatown!" I looked at my watch and found that it was late, Wu Hongyi suggested. "Well, trouble you, shall we go by car together?" Xia Yu said and looked at Wu Hongyi''s car parked at the door. "I''ll go by car, it''s easier!" Wu Hongyi said that he didn''t want to ride with Xia Yu. By then, he didn''t know how much dog food to eat, so he would drive more comfortably by himself. "Ok!" After closing the door, the two new cars just bought followed Wu Hongyi''s car and drove out of the manor towards the direction of downtown London. Chapter 257: Chinatown and Phoenix Building Three cars shuttled through the bustling London city. I don''t know how long it took. After the cars turned a corner, they saw a huge red Chinese archway. Wu Hongyi didn''t stop, and drove the car directly to the street inside. With this entry, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and a strong sense of familiarity came to his face. The car moved slowly, and Xia Yu constantly observed everything outside through the window. The decoration styles of the shops on both sides of the road are full of Chinese culture. The signboard of each store has Chinese characters in the center, and a line of English is added under the Chinese characters. Two big red lanterns are hung under the eaves at the entrance of each store, and some couplets with red paper are still pasted at the entrance of the store. The words dragon and phoenix dancing on it look refreshing and pleasing. Moreover, along the way, Xia Yu found that the shops on both sides of the road were large and small Chinese restaurants, supermarkets, hairdressers, Chinese medicine stores, Chinese souvenir shops, and several large Chinese archways, all of which conveyed a message to people. Information, that is, here is the most concentrated place for Chinese. After a while, Wu Hongyi''s car stopped in a parking lot, and Xia Yu and others also stopped. Wu Hongyi smiled and walked up to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu casually looked around, he said, "This is Juelu Street, Westminster, London." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and said with some emotion, "It''s still more comfortable like this." "Haha, of course, you also know that we Chinese are old-fashioned. Even though we have moved here for so many years, there are some things that go deep in our bones that we can''t forget." Wu Hongyi nodded in agreement and explained with a smile. "Indeed!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and agreed. "Let''s go, let''s go shopping and talk as we go!" After Wu Hongyi finished speaking, Xia Yu and others set off with him, and Wu Hongyi also introduced relevant information to Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, in the past two hundred years, there are at least 500,000 Chinese and overseas Chinese living in the UK. Although they are all over the UK, as long as there is a Chinatown, the connection between us Chinese cannot be broken. Chinatown can say It is the bond between us Chinese to maintain each other." "This Chinatown is the most concentrated place of Chinese in Britain, and it is also the largest gathering place of Chinese." "But in the whole of Europe, London''s Chinatown may not be the largest and earliest, but it is definitely the''most traditional Chinese'' and''most lively'' Chinatown in Europe." Speaking of this, Wu Hongyi unconsciously brought a sense of pride in his tone, which greatly increased Xia Yu''s affection for him. From this, it can be seen that the young Wu Hongyi¡¯s tutor is good. He has a high recognition of his Chinese identity and traditional Chinese culture. He is not the kind of banana man with yellow skin and white heart in later generations. Xia Yu naturally treats him more. Have a good impression. After all, in the final analysis, Xia Yu is proud of being a Chinese, regardless of his past or present life. Walking, Wu Hongyi stopped to introduce Xia Yu to the surrounding shops from time to time, and many Chinese shopkeepers greeted Wu Hongyi enthusiastically, and Wu Hongyi also introduced Xia Yu and others. Walking to the middle of the street, Xia Yu saw a pair of mighty, lovely, and Chinese-colored stone lions standing quietly. "Xia Yu, there are still stone lions here!" Seeing the pair of stone lions, Li Qian couldn''t help but said in surprise. "This pair of stone lions was sent by the China Embassy a year ago. I heard that they were airlifted from the Imperial Capital. They were said to be a gift to commemorate the opening of the pedestrian zone in Chinatown." Wu Hongyi introduced in due course. Xia Yu raised his brow. It turned out to be transported from the imperial capital, or delivered by the China Embassy in the United Kingdom. At this time, it was placed in the center of the entire Chinatown. The meaning is extraordinary! Xia Yu couldn''t help but approached to observe carefully, and he saw a line of words at the foot of the stone lion''s stone pier. "This pair of stone lions is really good at carving!" After Xia Yu observed carefully, he exclaimed, and Li Qian leaned forward curiously. "true!" "Let''s go, keep going there!" After watching for a while, Xia Yu said, pulling Li Qian''s hand and walking forward. Before they knew it, Xia Yu and the others walked to the street. When they first entered, the towering red archway reappeared in front of them. And this time, without the roof blocking the line of sight, Xia Yu had a more intuitive feeling for the big red archway. Looking closely at this large archway full of traces of Chinese culture, Xia Yu was a little emotional. I saw that this large archway was about six meters high, with red pillars and green tiles with Phnom Penh, and a majestic atmosphere was blowing. On the two big red pillars of the big archway, there are couplets with black background and gold lacquer, and the letter is written: "Lun Si is facing the Yingdiyuan, Dunyi Keshao Han Tianwei; Huatang Kengu Tao Gongye, Port Kangmin Temple Bell ." On the top of the archway is a banner: London Chinatown, on its left and right sides, there are also words such as "good weather" and "Guotai Minan", expressing the sincere wishes of the Chinese for the country and the place of residence. "This big archway is very imposing!" After a long time, Xia Yu came to a conclusion. Wu Hongyi smiled and felt very happy about it. After all, their family worked hard to build this big archway. Xia Yu praised this big archway and praised them from the side. At this moment, a person walked out from the nearby shop and said loudly: "Second Young Master, you are here, why are you standing at the door and not coming in!" "Uncle Chang, I took a friend to stroll around, but I didn''t notify you." Wu Hongyi said with a smile. Xia Yu turned to look at the person who was talking to Wu Hongyi, only to see a man in his fifties dressed in Tang suit and full of energy. At this time, he was nodding at Xia Yu and the others with a kind smile. "Xia Yu, this is Li Hongchang, our old housekeeper." "Uncle Chang, this is Xia Yu. Next to him is his girlfriend Li Qian, and his three friends Yan Shining, Hou Sheng, and Li Wuming. They just came from Xiangjiang, and now they live with me. By the side, I brought them to Chinatown today." Wu Hongyi introduced each other. "Hello Uncle Chang!" Xia Yu had a very good attitude, calling Li Hongchang like Wu Hongyi, and Li Qian and others also greeted Li Hongchang. "Hello! I didn''t expect that you came from Xiangjiang, and there are new compatriots here, okay, please come inside, don''t stand!" With a smile on his face, Li Hongchang enthusiastically invited Xia Yu and others to the store. "Xia Yu, go in, this restaurant is under my name and is now managed by Uncle Chang." Wu Hongyi explained with a smile. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and looked up at the shop in front of him as he walked. The decoration was classical and atmospheric, with a fiery red color, and a sign was written "Phoenix Building". It is a Chinese restaurantGood name, great atmosphere! " Xia Yu praised that the name is indeed very impressive, and the decoration complements the name. From the outside, the size of the shop can be seen. The length of the restaurant can be determined from the front, and it is at least twelve meters in length, and it is three floors high. In addition, this restaurant is the first shop at the entrance of Chinatown. The location is very good. Such a large shop in central London is definitely worth a lot! Considering that Wu Hongyi just said that he belonged to him, then his identity is worth pondering. "Haha, please inside!" Hearing Xia Yu''s compliment, Wu Hongyi was very happy, and said to Xia Yu and others in a please gesture. "Go together! Please!" Xia Yu also politely made a please gesture, and walked in side by side with Wu Hongyi. Chapter 258: Chinese richest man in the world On the second floor, he entered a very spacious office. Under Wu Hongyi''s greeting, Xia Yu and others sat on the sofa at the coffee table for a week. Soon, two young girls in cheongsam brought some cakes and peanut seeds to the crowd, and then the two began to make tea in a tacit understanding, very skillfully. "Everyone have tea, you are welcome!" After the tea moisture was good, Wu Hongyi picked up the tea cup and said with a smile. "Yes, yes, everyone is compatriots. Just treat this as your own home. Feel free to do it!" Uncle Chang, who was sitting aside, also echoed the Tao, with a very warm attitude. The two enthusiastic attitudes made Xia Yu feel very good. He nodded and said, "We will not be polite. Don''t be surprised when that happens." "Haha, I will only be happy when I meet strangers!" Wu Hongyi quickly responded with a smile. "This dim sum tastes really good, it melts in your mouth, come, let''s eat dim sum together. Xia Yu picked up a piece of mung bean cake and lightly bit it. The soft, soft, melt-in-mouth taste made Xia Yu''s eyes brighten, and his face was involuntarily showing enjoyment. After swallowing, he exclaimed. Hearing Xia Yu''s admiration, Uncle Chang''s face opened wide and he was very happy. Li Qian also picked up a piece of mung bean cake, her pink lips slightly opened, her white teeth lightly bite, Shui Lingling''s big eyes completed the crescent, and sweetly said: "It''s delicious." "Eat more if it is delicious." Looking at the beautiful and lovely Li Qian, Uncle Chang''s eyes were full of kindness, he said cheerfully. "Hmm!" Li Qian smiled and tapped her head, and said obediently. This made Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling, and Li Qian was really likable. While eating and drinking, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi also chatted. "Hongyi, when did your family come to England?" Xia Yu leaned forward slightly and asked. "Our family has been more than a hundred years old, and our ancestors were in England since 1828." Wu Hongyi thought for a while and said, his tone was very emotional. It is 1978, exactly 150 years from 1828! Calculating the result quickly in my heart, not only Xia Yu was surprised, even Li Qian and others looked at Wu Hongyi in surprise. "It''s been so long! Your family came during the Qing Daoguang reign!" "Yes, it is recorded in the genealogy." Wu Hongyi said calmly, seemingly used to the surprise of others. Suddenly, Xia Yu''s heart moved and thought of something. Why did Wu Hongyi''s ancestors come to Britain from the Qing Dynasty and have settled down to the present? Being able to exist in the UK for 160 years without disappearing is a kind of skill, but considering that in those days, it is not easy to go abroad to work hard! Wu family? Last name Wu? Xia Yu''s mind turned frantically. Soon, his eyes lit up and he thought of a possibility. He looked straight at Wu Hongyi and blurted out and asked: "Your Wu family is the Wu family of the 13th line?" Wu Hongyi looked at Xia Yu with an unexpected look. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to have such a keen thinking that he could guess it so quickly. However, this is not a shameful matter. Many Chinese people in Britain know this matter. It can be said to be an open matter. There is no need to hide it. Xia Yu will know it in the future. So he nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it''s the Wu family, our line comes from the third son of Dunyuan Gong." Hearing Wu Hongyi''s admission, Xia Yu''s face was solemn, and Wu Hongyi held his fist solemnly and said, "Disrespect and disrespect!" Seeing Xia Yu''s solemnity, Wu Hongyi shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "That is the glory of our ancestors. Our children and grandchildren are incompetent, so that the family has fallen into this state." "No, it is a manifestation of strength to be passed down in the UK forever!" Xia Yu shook his head immediately. "Xia Yu, is Dun Yuan Gong very famous?" Li Qian pulled at Xia Yu''s skirt and asked softly. Xia Yu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Hony''s ancestors were the world''s richest man at the time, and foreigners also recognized it!" "Yeah! The richest man in the world? So amazing!" Li Qian covered her small mouth and exclaimed, she couldn''t help but looked at Wu Hongyi who was shaking her head and smiling wryly. Obviously Wu Hongyi had also acquiesced. "You should have heard this name. It is Wu Bingjian, also known as Wu Dunyuan, the founder of Yihehang, one of the thirteen branches of Guangdong." Xia Yu explained. Li Qian, who is the head of the 13th line of Guangdong, naturally knows it, and she is even more shocked because of it. Xiangjiang is separated from Guangdong Province by the sea. Many people from Xiangjiang are from southern Fujian or Guangdong province. Therefore, the legend of the 13th line of Guangdong has been circulating, saying, "Foreign ships are fought by officials and merchants, and the cross gate opens to the two oceans. The saying "Five silks and eight silks are good, thirteen lines of money are piled up" has been passed down by word of mouth, and it has been passed down to this day. She had learned it when she was studying history. She learned that the tariffs that Guangdong No. 13 Bank paid to the Qing government at that time accounted for 40% of the country''s tax revenue. According to records, in 1822, there was a fire on Shisanxing Street. The fire was fierce and spread for several days. The large amount of property and 40 million taels of cash stored in it were destroyed. After the fire, a strange phenomenon appeared. In the street where the thirteen lines are located, ¡°foreign silver melts into the gutter and grows to one or two miles¡±. She also knew that the Thirteen Banks at that time was just a general term. It was not a total of thirteen companies. There were dozens of companies in a long time, and only four companies in a short time. Among them, a group of wealthy people emerged, such as Pan Zhencheng, Pan Youdu, Lu Wenjin, Wu Bingjian, Ye Shanglin, etc. What Li Qian didn''t know was that Wu Bingjian turned out to be the world''s richest man at the time. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wu Bingjian was the richest man in the world at the time. Xia Yu had really known Wu Bingjian in his previous life. In 1834, the Wu family counted the family property, and it reached 26 million silver dollars. At that time, the wealth of the richest man in the United States was only 8 million silver dollars, less than one-third of Wu Bingjian''s! And the business prodigy Wu Bingjian really created a large consortium. At that time, Wu Bingjian was the "banker" and the largest creditor of the British East India Company. In terms of industrial operations, Wu Bingjian not only owns real estate, real estate, tea gardens, shops, etc. in China, but also boldly engages in railroad investment, securities trading, and even insurance business in the United States on the other side of the ocean, making Jardine Matheson a veritable multinational Consortium. It is a pity that with the state of the time, it was destined that merchants were sheep, and power was supreme; instead of capital controlling the government as in foreign countries. Therefore, the Wu family suffered heavy losses under the Qing government''s repeated cuts . But when Wu Bingjian realized that something was wrong, he took precautions and sent many of his children overseas early to take care of his own overseas business while also increasing his family''s ability to resist risks as much as possible. Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, nothing more than that! This really made him do it right, otherwise the possibility of Wu Family being annihilated by the clan really exists! It¡¯s just that Xia Yu sighed that when he first came to the UK, the first person he met was a member of the Wu family, and he knew for the first time that after 150 years of ups and downs, the Wu family was still in the UK. Standing tall, as to what extent the Wu family has been mixed up now, he will learn more about it later. However, Xia Yu guessed that the Wu family should have fallen as Wu Hongyi said. Otherwise, although Xiangjiang is far away from Britain, he would not have never heard of the Wu family''s name. Of course, there are other possibilities. For example, the Wu family''s business in Xiangjiang does not overlap with Xia Yu, or the Wu family simply has no business in Xiangjiang. Chapter 259: Wu Shengxing and Rongye Hong (2 in 1 Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of a contradiction. He asked Wu Hongyi: "Hongyi, your Yihexing and the predecessor is the Yihe Yangxing. What is the relationship between the current Yihe Group?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked straight at Wu Hongyi, waiting for him to solve his doubts. Xia Yu really didn''t know this. Although he had known about Wu Bingjian and Yihexing in his previous life, he did not have a deep understanding of Jardine International. Xia Yu only knew that the original name of the Yihe Group in Xiangjiang was the original name of Yihe International, but Yihe International was actually Owned by the British, what''s the problem here? As soon as Xia Yu''s words came out, not only Wu Hongyi, but even Li Hongchang, who was all smiles, narrowed his smile. Wu Hongyi''s complexion is complex, and I don''t know whether it is resentment, aggrieved, helpless, or all three. Just when Xia Yu wanted to say that it was inconvenient to stop, Wu Hongyi spoke. "They are shameless thieves!" Hearing Wu Hongyi''s sharp words, Xia Yu raised his brows, but he didn''t expect Wu Hongyi to react so much. It seems that there is a story in it. "The current Jardine Group was formerly called Jardine Matheson, but at first it was called Chadian-Madison International, which was founded in 1832 by the Scottish-British William Jardine and James Madison. It was established the year our line came to the UK!" "And in 1843, when Dun Yuan Gong passed away, the main line of our Wu family in the Qing Dynasty suffered severe damage. Those two shameless thieves stole the name of Wu Jia Yihe Xing and changed the original -Madison International was re-registered and renamed Jardine International." Speaking of this, Wu Hongyi''s suffocation in his heart became more vigorous, and his fists clenched unconsciously. Li Hongchang shook his head and sighed, feeling equally depressed. That''s it! Hearing Wu Hongyi''s explanation, Xia Yu suddenly understood that the feelings were that the two foreigners had "counterfeited" and "branded" the most prestigious "Jiahe Xing" among the 13 Guangdong lines. This can also understand why Wu Hongyi''s mood changed drastically! No one can accept that the glory of his family was stolen by outsiders. "Yihe Xing" is the glory of the Wu family, and it was also created by the Wu family. In the end, because the family was oppressed by external forces, the family was overwhelmed by foreigners. Stealing, with the addition of the word "foreign", became popular outside. As the persecuted Wu family, the suffocation and depression in his heart can naturally be imagined! Yan Shining, who was listening quietly just now, couldn''t help asking: "Then your Wu family''s current Yihexing is still there?" "It has long ceased to exist. Under the oppression of the Qing government, the foundation of our Wu family has long disappeared. Now there is only Wu Shengxing." Wu Hongyi said bitterly. When Wu prevailed in the end, his fist clenched unconsciously. Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed, Wu Shengxing? This name is interesting. You can interpret many meanings literally. How to combine what Wu Hongyi is talking about now about the Wu family, it is most appropriate to interpret it as "Wu family''s strong business again". "Have you never thought of re-establishing the banner of Yihexing?" Hou Sheng couldn''t help but ask. After hearing so much, he was also very curious. Seeing that Wu Hongyi did not resist saying this, he couldn''t help but want to find out. After all, this kind of secret involving the wealthy family sounds too exciting. As soon as Hou Sheng''s words came out, not only Wu Hongyi smiled bitterly, even Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head slightly. Hou Sheng was too narrow-minded to ask this unnecessary question. How big is the current Jardine Group and the Jardine Group with the Jardine Group as its core. Xia Yu knows very well that it is the No. 1 Heung Kong Group and the No. 1 British Group in the Far East. The energy is amazing. Just want to know that the British Wu family is definitely not as good as the Jardine consortium. Not as strong as people, what else do you want? No matter how much sorrow, I can only endure it! Haven''t seen the Wu Family endure it for more than a hundred years? Wu Hongyi''s personality is very easy-going. He didn''t feel unhappy because of Hou Sheng''s problems. Instead, he was silent for a while before shrugging and pretending to be free and easy: "The difference in strength is too big, I don''t even think about it, let alone... I only have the Phoenix Tower. , So forget it." As soon as he said this, Li Hongchang, who was sitting beside him, showed a distressed expression on his face, and patted Wu Hongyi on the shoulder to show his comfort. Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed too, and he heard what Wu Hongyi said. The difference in strength is too great, so I don''t even think about it, so is the Wu family not thinking about it? Or does he not think about it? Or did he and the Wu family not think about it? And the last sentence is even more profound. He said that he only has the Phoenix Tower, and he needs to list it separately to refer to himself. Then this means that the Phoenix Tower belongs to him, not the Wu family? Or is it that among all the assets of the Wu family, the only one that belongs to him is Phoenix Tower? Thinking from the outside to the inside, there are more things to ponder, such as Wu Hongyi''s status in the Wu family, and the relationship between Wu Hongyi and the Wu family. However, these things involve tighter privacy. Since Wu Hongyi doesn''t seem to have any intention to say anything, it is inconvenient for Xia Yu to ask, let''s learn more about it later. However, Xia Yu did not agree with Wu Hongyi''s attitude of recognizing his fate, and it was also very detrimental to Wu Hongyi''s personal future. He encouraged: "The sea is traversing, and the hero is true; the green mountain stands tall and does not fall into the ambition of the sky! " "Hongyi, this is a great era. The world is in a process of drastic changes. Anything is possible. Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have built themselves up to the pinnacle. What''s more, you still have the capital to start from. Think of your family. Yuan Gong!" "All going forward, count the romantic figures, and look at the present!" "Excuse me with you!" Wu Hongyi looked at Xia Yu in a daze, and Xia Yu''s words kept roaring in his heart like Hong Zhong Dalu. At this moment, his heart was greatly impacted. The young Xia Yu was full of vigor. He, a more mature young man in his twenties, had the idea of ??resigning and bowing to reality. This contrast , He felt a deep shame. Sitting aside, Li Hongchang watched Wu Hongyi grow up since he was a child. He knew everything about him. Wu Hongyi couldn''t hide anything from him. Now Wu Hongyi''s violent fluctuations in his heart were naturally noticed by him. However, instead of blaming Xia Yu for talking too much, he gave Xia Yu a grateful look. In fact, he has long discovered that Wu Hongyi''s mentality is problematic. To put it nicely is a young and mature person, and to put it badly, it is a lack of the energy, vigor and spirit that young people should have. And because of family reasons, he is not good at fighting, or does not want to fight, but subconsciously learned tolerance. Forbearance is not bad. This means that there is a city, but forbearance cannot solve all the problems. The city mansion will become a bottomless pit, burying himself. Therefore, for the state of Wu Hongyi for so many years, Li Hongchang remembered it in his eyes, and was afraid that Wu Hongyi would not look good. He would have failed Wu Hongyi¡¯s father and his father¡¯s trust, but because he was too familiar with him for many times To remind Wu Hongyi, but Wu Hongyi was not touched. Unexpectedly, the new friend Wu Hongyi just brought with him today achieved an effect that he had never done before. Li Hongchang looked at Wu Hongyi expectantly, hoping that he could take this opportunity to think thoroughly that time is running out, and the later he wakes up, the more disadvantages Wu Hongyi will be! Everyone sat quietly and watched Wu Hongyi who was immersed in his own world, his face constantly changing with his mentality. Even the cute Li Qian felt the change in atmosphere and realized that this opportunity was against Wu. Hony is very important. "call¡­¡­" After a long time, Wu Hongyi''s expression finally recovered. He took a long breath and suddenly raised his head to look at Xia Yu. When seeing Xia Yu with a smile on his face and encouragement in his eyes, Wu Hongyi smiled gratefully, stood up and bowed to Xia Yu and said, "Thank you!" Wu Hongyi''s movements were too fast, Xia Yu stood up before he could stop him, he already bowed, Xia Yu could only smile and waved his hand and said: "I''ll just talk about it casually, you can figure that it''s your business, and I have nothing to do, haha!" "No, listening to the Lord''s words, I am better than reading ten years of books, and I will teach you all the time!" Wu Hongyi solemnly said to Xia Yu that he really took this matter in his heart, and the kindness of waking up cannot be forgotten. The words spoken by Xia Yu had a great impact on him, and many of his thoughts have changed. After he figured it out, he thought about his previous concepts and attitudes. Many of them were extremely ridiculous and were indeed unfavorable to his development, but he thought they were right and did not change them. If Xia Yu''s words hadn''t made him wake up, he would probably continue to wander down, but if he could wake up in a few years, it would be too late. So Xia Yu''s awakening grace is indeed very heavy. Friends are a kind of feeling. Some people have known each other for ten years, and some have become confidants at first sight. At this moment, Xia Yu has risen to the level of a confidant in Wu Hongyi''s heart. Over the past two decades, he has known no longer a few friends, but none of them would say this to him like Xia Yu when he first met him for a short time. He just didn''t figure out something. In fact, he is a very smart person. Who is good for him can be clearly felt in his heart. At this moment, an employee came to the door and saw so many people sitting inside. He hesitated to enter. Fortunately, Li Hongchang saw it. He nodded to Wu Hongyi, Xia Yu and others, then stood up and walked out. , Call the employee aside and ask. After a while, Li Hongchang asked about the situation. He thought for a while and felt that Wu Hongyi should be known. So he walked in again and came to Wu Hongyi''s face, and said to Wu Hongyi who raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Second Young Master Ye Huanrong, the boss of Rongyehang, is here, do you want to see him?" Li Hongchang did not want to disturb Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu and others chatting, but the person who came was Ye Huanrong, and now the second young master Wu Hongyi had clearly figured out a lot of things. Time is urgent. Naturally, he has to make up for his previous mistakes as much as possible and start to expand his contacts. , To form a network of relations, and the energy of "Rongyexing" is not bad. Naturally, I have to receive it. Otherwise, if Ye Huanrong knows that Wu Hongyi is here, but he avoids him, Ye Huanrong doesn¡¯t say it on the surface, but it must be in his heart. There will be pimple. " Wu Hongyi frowned slightly, looked at Xia Yu, and hesitated whether to leave Xia Yu and others to see Ye Huanrong. However, Xia Yu''s EQ is higher than Wu Hongyi''s. He smiled and said: "Hongyi, you are busy in advance, we have plenty of time, don''t worry! Business matters!" Wu Hongyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to Xia Yu and said: "Then Xia Yu, and everyone, I''m going to accompany me first, everyone is free!" "Well, you should be busy, don''t let the guests wait for a long time, we won''t be polite to you." Xia Yu waved his hand and smiled. Then, Wu Hongyi and Li Hongchang walked out quickly, while Xia Yu and others stayed in the room to chat, drink tea and eat snacks. ... Not long after, a string of footsteps came from far to near. Xia Yu and others immediately looked out the door. When they saw Wu Hongyi, Li Hongchang and a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and an upright man coming by, They stood up consciously and looked at Wu Hongyi and others with a smile. Soon, the three of Wu Hongyi walked in again, and he took the lead to introduce: "Let me introduce, this is Ye Huanrong, the owner of Rong Yip Hong, who is the largest Chinese food supermarket and wholesale center in Birmingham. Many Chinese restaurants and retail stores purchase from Rong Yeh. Boss Ye¡¯s business has grown and he has now entered London." "Young Master Wu praised it, a small business, not worth mentioning!" First, he waved his hand humbly and laughed, and then Ye Huanrong said warmly to Xia Yu and others: "Hello, I am Ye Huanrong, I am glad to meet you all!" At the same time, although Ye Huanrong¡¯s face was full of smiles, his heart was stunned. After all, from Wu Hongyi first introducing him to Xia Yu and others, it can be seen that in Wu Hongyi¡¯s mind, Xia Yu and others are more important than him. Hony is naturally not a stupid person, so Ye Huanrong must of course take Xia Yu and others seriously. "Boss Ye, this is my friend Xia Yu, and his girlfriend Li Qian, these are Yan Shining, Hou Sheng, and Li Wuming." Wu Hongyi then pointed to Xia Yu and others to introduce Ye Huanrong. "Boss Ye, hello!" "Hello!" Xia Yu, Ye Huanrong and others shook hands with a very warm attitude, and Xia Yu did the same. In fact, after Wu Hongyi introduced Ye Huanrong, Xia Yu knew who he was. Previous life Xia Yu has seen the British rich list. Ye Huanrong is the first Chinese to enter the British rich list. He is also the richest man in the British Chinese businessmen. Of course, the name of the "Chinese businessmen''s richest man" can be worn on his head despite some moisture. Up is a manifestation of strength. Ye Huanrong is a Hakka. He was born in 1940. He crossed the ocean in 1959 and came to the UK alone. With the help of the Liverpool Hakka Association, he got his first job-washing dishes for restaurants. However, he is very business-minded and highly educated, so he started to work hard by himself later and set up a restaurant to operate his own, and his funds began to increase. In 1970, the "Rongyehang" was established in Birmingham, England. In the 21st century, the "Rongyehang" developed into the largest Chinese food supermarket and wholesale center in the UK. There are 4 large supermarket chains in London, Manchester and Birmingham, headquartered in Birmingham, providing goods for more than 2,000 Chinese restaurants and retail stores in the UK. Ye Huanrong is also the "leading brother" of Chinese supermarkets in Europe, and "Rongyexing" is the "invincible flagship" of food import and export agents in the European Far East and Asia. He is also a guest of British Prince Charles, and is also an old acquaintance with Blair and Cameron. Therefore, Ye Huanrong, who is definitely self-made, is definitely an outstanding figure who has not yet fully emerged. Then, Wu Hongyi, Ye Huanrong and others sat down again, chatting and drinking tea with Xia Yu. While chatting, Wu Hongyi said suddenly: "By the way, Xia Yu, June 21 is the day when the London Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association was established. There are not many days left. You must come by then." Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. June 21 was indeed coming soon. I didn''t expect it to be so coincidental. It was not long before the Chinese Business Association was founded when he first came. It seems that he is lucky. The London Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association is indeed a good platform. At that time, the upper-class Chinese will be there. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com is a good opportunity to expand your network. Of course, Xia Yu shouldn''t miss such a good opportunity. Besides, being idle here is also idle, so it is better to establish contacts with each other. "Such a grand day, of course I can''t be without!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Haha, we will come together then!" "Then trouble you!" Seeing Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi talking and laughing, the relationship is so close, Ye Huanrong''s mind has changed, guessing what Xia Yu is coming from, but it is a pity that Wu Hongyi didn''t tell him Xia Yu''s details, which made him very true. regret. The rest of the time, chatting, drinking, tea and eating, and in the afternoon, Wu Hongyi took him around, or met some people, the time flies full and fast. At night, Xia Yu and others went back with Wu Hongyi after having dinner in the Phoenix Building. Chapter 260: The opportunity of hundreds of millions of pounds The next day, Xia Yu continued to bet. This time, after having my own car, it was much easier to move around. I drove the car around London, like a guerrilla, I shot a shot to change a place, every bet nodded no more, and a bet made less. , But can''t bear the large number of Xia Yutou. And the choices are high odds; and destined to lose, or in other words, will lose with a high probability, Xia Yu bets a small amount, winning and losing, in order to avoid others'' suspicion as much as possible. Of course, Xia Yu did not just catch London to invest alone. Although London is the city with the most densely populated outlets of major gambling companies; Xia Yu casts all the time, there is still risk, so when he has a car, he drives Go to cities around London, such as Southampton on the southern coast. Moreover, in addition to betting at physical betting shops, Xia Yu also continued to use other methods such as telephone betting to reduce the probability of being discovered. A day''s time passed quietly while running around and betting. Because it was too late, Xia Yu did not go back, but planned to spend the night in Southampton. Besides, in the next few days, he has to go out and try to travel the UK all over and put all the bets he wants to cast. Now it is an excellent opportunity for the capital to skyrocket. As long as he casts that bet these days, he will definitely be violent overnight. rich. In fact, in history, this World Cup, the world''s major gambling companies have made a huge profit, because no one thought that Argentina, which was at an absolute disadvantage and almost impossible to enter the finals, eventually won the Hercules Cup! And this World Cup in Argentina is also full of shady scenes, leaving a deep impression on everyone, even after decades, many people who have experienced it are still brooding. The outside world accuses Argentina of getting the Hercules Cup by "stealing"! In fact, this World Cup, before it was held, was doomed to shady, because Argentina''s application to host the World Cup was not pure! And in order to get the right to host the World Cup, the Argentine government also used various methods. In fact, the source of all this lies in the current Argentine military government. Argentina is now under the dark rule of the military government of Videira. In the original history, during the five years from 1976 to 1981, Videira was in power and formed the most notorious military government in the Western Hemisphere. Through kidnapping, Assassinations, torture, and other methods used to hunt down left-wing guerrillas and democratic progressives in order to suppress the one after another domestic resistance movement. In order to consolidate the rule of the military government, Videla also ordered the dissolution of the parliament, the banning of labor unions, and the concentration of all legislative power in the hands of nine senior officers. His orders are equivalent to the law. According to incomplete statistics, during Videla¡¯s rule, about 1-3 million people were killed or missing, and about 500,000 people were forced into exile, and the number of people who were imprisoned or abused was uncountable. The actions of the military government of Videira have discredited its reputation internationally, and few countries are willing to interact with it. In order to change the bad international image and at the same time alleviate the national hostility towards the military government, Videira won the right to host the 1978 World Cup in various ways, hoping to restore his reputation by winning the championship. It is against the background of this era that the 11th World Cup kicked off in Argentina! Argentina is a football power, and the strength of the "Tango Legion" should not be underestimated. In this World Cup, there are many famous Argentine players, such as Kempes, Bertoni, Tarantini, Philol and so on. Relying on the advantages of the host, Argentina has passed the test all the way and is also a favorite to win the championship. So under this circumstance, the odds of Argentina winning the championship offered by the major gambling companies should not be high. But football is round after all. You can guarantee your strength and push your opponent horizontally; but you cannot guarantee that your opponent''s opponent is a pig. So although in the second round of the group stage, Argentina had one win and one draw, Brazil was even better. After three games, two wins and one draw, with a goal difference of 3 more than Argentina, but Argentina wants to compete for the Hercules Cup and there is one more game. The unmatched Argentina must appear first in the second round of the group stage. So in this case, Argentina must in the third game, with a 4-0 record to kill Peru, the strong South American team that is not inferior to Argentina. Killing opponents of comparable strength at 4:0 is extremely difficult! The possibility is almost zero! In football matches, especially between strong teams, draws are normal. It is difficult and difficult to score a goal, not to mention Argentina scored 4 alone, and Peru did not score! how can that be? Therefore, Argentina¡¯s chances of winning the championship are instantly slim. The major gambling companies have lowered Brazil¡¯s winning odds and adjusted the Argentine¡¯s winning odds very high. When everyone thinks that Argentina has no chance, even if the odds of the major gambling companies are high, not many people will bet. But who knows, just when the Brazilian team was firmly seated on the Diaoyutai, what shocked the world was that in that highly anticipated focus match, Argentina eventually swept Peru with a score of 6:0. After successfully squeezing Brazil, Strongly advance to the final finals. Then in the final, Argentina defeated the "Orange" Dutch team 3:1, winning the Hercules Cup for the first time in history. And because of winning the World Cup, Argentina¡¯s nationwide carnival, national pride rose to unprecedented heights, and the Videla military government was able to survive the crisis and ruled until 1981. Taking into account various influencing factors, as well as the eye-popping 6:0 score, no one would believe that the Weidela government did not move. Later, the Peruvian media broke the news that the Argentine military government had a dirty deal with the Peruvian military government. Argentina used 35,000 tons of grain and 50 million US dollars in loan funds for the victory. Judging from the team''s performance, the Peruvians are indeed careless and have serious suspicions of releasing water. However, no one would admit to this kind of thing, nor would anyone dare to blatantly jump out to prove it. After all, they have to face the two military governments in South America! So this is destined to be a mystery, even in later life, the truth is not revealed! It is impossible to tell the truth! FIFA does not allow it! The Peruvian government does not allow it! The Argentine government does not allow it! Just because this World Cup completely exceeded everyone''s expectations, most of the players who gambled suffered heavy losses. Instead, the major gambling companies made a lot of money. The sky fell gold, and the Wei Dila government assisted! In this life, the match between Argentina and Peru has not yet started, but there are not many days left. With the strong performance of the Brazil team, the major gambling companies have begun to adjust the odds for Argentina to win the championship. As long as the Brazil team is over, the situation will be clear. At that time, Argentina''s winning odds will reach the highest, and odds of dozens of times are normal. This is still the odds of winning and winning. If you cast those scores again, the odds will increase with the widening of the points difference. If a gambling company really offers a 6:0 score, the odds exceed Fifty times is normal, because almost no one dares to cast this seemingly destined bet. But for Xia Yu who knows everything, it is the best opportunity! The previous gambling can only be regarded as a small play, after all, the odds are too low and there is not much profit. Behind is the real feast. As time approaches, Xia Yu has already geared up and can''t wait! He is going to dig up a few **** fiercely, so that his capital accumulation process is as fast as riding a rocket. As long as this bet is right, earning hundreds of millions of pounds is absolutely not a problem, and his risk will not be very high! Because of that event, almost 99.99% of the people were wrong The major gambling companies only need to collect money, almost no money, the amount of funds is absolutely appalling, Xia Yu took hundreds of millions of pounds out of it, and it is difficult to be discovered. Even if it is discovered, it will not force the crazy gambling companies to jump over the wall. What''s more, there are dozens of large and small gambling companies in the UK alone, and gambling companies in other countries also have betting points in the UK. It is not much for hundreds of millions of pounds of funds to be distributed to various gambling companies. Then in this case, it is again scattered to a large number of betting points and reduced to zero. The probability of being discovered is pitiful. It is this kind of consideration that Xia Yu spares no effort and trouble to shuttle everywhere to bet. The trouble is a little troublesome, but the victory lies in confidentiality and safety! Money is very important, but the most important thing is that money has to be spent! With huge amounts of funds within reach, Xia Yu''s motivation naturally goes without saying. Keep going! Work hard! Victory is coming! Chapter 261: Found another small gold mine ? After a while in Southampton, I found a restaurant opened by Chinese. Xia Yu and others walked towards the door of the restaurant. When he first arrived at the gate, suddenly a little boy ran out of the restaurant. There were words from his mother telling him not to run, but it was useless. The little boy didn¡¯t notice someone at the door and ran into Xia Yu. There was an exclamation on his body. Fortunately, Xia Yu''s eyes were quick, and he caught him in time to prevent him from falling to the ground. "Sir, I''m sorry!" After the little boy hit Xia Yu, his mother ran over and apologized to Xia Yu. "Patrick, apologize!" Then, the blond foreign woman said reproachfully to the little boy. "Sorry, I''m all to blame for running too fast and not looking at the road, please forgive me!" The little boy named Patrick lowered his head and said guiltily. "It''s okay. Be careful next time. Safety is the most important thing!" How could Xia Yu care about a little boy? Which kid never bumped into someone when he was a child? What''s more, the little boy seemed to be very polite and even apologized to him, so that shouldn''t be blamed. Xia Yu smiled, touched the little boy''s head and said gently. "I will not run around next time, I promise!" "Oh, no, there is no next time." The little boy Patrick immediately nodded and promised, and then realized that he had said something wrong, he immediately changed his words, making the mother beside him smile. "Thank you!" Then, the mother of the little boy Patrick expressed her gratitude to Xia Yu. "This is yours, take it, don''t drop it!" At this time, Yan Shining picked up something from the ground and gave it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu remembered that it had fallen from the boy''s hand when the boy hit him just now. Seeing the little boy''s pitiful eyes, Xia Yu smiled and gave him the things in his hand. The little boy smiled suddenly and said politely, "Thank you!" At this moment, Xia Yu glanced at the thing in the little boy''s hand again, and he realized that he felt familiar. Take a closer look, six sides and six colors, it turned out to be a Rubik''s Cube, and it is not a common third-order Rubik''s Cube, but a very primitive second-order Rubik''s Cube. Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of a lot of things. It seemed that the Rubik''s Cube had just appeared, and even the third-order Rubik''s Cube had not been invented yet, and it was still in the original second-order Rubik''s Cube stage. Thinking of the Rubik''s Cube, which is popular all over the world and sold more than 100 million yuan, Xia Yu''s heart is hot. This is a gold mine that only opened a small mouth and did not attract attention! As long as you get the Rubik''s Cube, in addition to making money for Xia Yu, his newly established toy company has a Dinghai Shenzhen. A Rubik''s Cube toy is a series that can be developed continuously, from the second order to the third order and the fourth order, and even the latter. For the thirteenth level, you can also research and launch variant Rubik¡¯s Cube, Mirror Rubik¡¯s Cube, Spherical Rubik¡¯s Cube, etc., from low-end to high-end take-all. At that time, the Rubik''s Cube series of toys can support the company''s long-term business. Toy companies can eat their old books for at least a few decades. It is difficult to close down. The strategic significance is extremely important! After discovering a gold mine, Xia Yu would naturally not let him slip away in front of him. What''s more, Xia Yu didn¡¯t know who invented the Rubik¡¯s Cube, nor did he know how far the Rubik¡¯s Cube was developed. The best way is now Find a breakthrough from the little boy in front of him. Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled gently and asked the little boy Patrick: "Boy, what is the name of the toy in your hand? It looks weird. I have never seen it before. Can you tell me where to buy it?" "Sir, the Rubik cube in my hand was bought by my father from a toy store in Budapest, Hungary. It''s fun and amazing, look!" Seeing Xia Yu asking about the Rubik¡¯s Cube, the little boy Patrick was shocked. He talked to Xia Yu with high spirits. There was a hint of pride between his eyebrows. He raised his hands when he said that the second-order Rubik¡¯s Cube that had been disrupted was quickly in his hands. After twisting, all six sides became the same color in no time. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that the little boy Patrick is very proficient in playing. Although it is only the simplest second-order Rubik''s Cube, it can quickly recover the Rubik''s Cube like a blind twist, which proves that the little boy''s thinking and memory are good. "It looks more complicated, ordinary people should not be able to play, you are very good, the Rubik''s Cube is also very magical!" Xia Yu praised with a smile. Seeing Xia Yu praise Patrick, the foreign women who stood quietly watching him smiled. "Hey!" The little boy Patrick scratched his head shyly, but the smile on his face represented that he was very happy. "I plan to write a book to teach others how to quickly recover the Rubik''s Cube." The little boy Patrick said shyly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Xia Yu showed a surprised expression at the right time, and then smiled encouragingly: "Come on, I believe you will succeed!" "Thank you!" the little boy Patrick said gratefully and encouraged. At this time, seeing someone in the hotel about to come out, and they were blocking the gate, Xia Yu and others hurriedly stepped aside. When he got the information he wanted to know, Xia Yu didn¡¯t need to waste time. He nodded to the little boy¡¯s mother, and then said to the little boy: ¡°Boy, we¡¯re going to eat. Finally, I¡¯m sure you can do it. Come on!" With that, Xia Yu made a cheering gesture to the little boy. "Thank you, I will definitely work hard!" The little boy also clenched his fist and made a cheering gesture, and said firmly. "Mr., my husband said that the Rubik cube was invented by Professor Erno Rubik at the Budapest School of Architecture. You can go there and have a look." Seeing that Xia Yu was leaving, it seemed that she was grateful to Xia Yu for encouraging her son. She might have guessed that Xia Yu was interested in Rubik''s Cube, so the little boy Patrick''s mother suddenly spoke. "Thank you!" After learning more detailed information, Xia Yu was in a good mood and said gratefully to the little boy''s mother, and then led everyone to the hotel. "Patrick, mother believes in you too, you can definitely do it!" The little boy''s mother touched the little boy''s head and said lovingly. "Hmm! Mom, I will definitely work hard!" The little boy nodded and said solemnly. "Let''s go, we should go home!" Oh, the mother took the hand of her son and said, she was ready to leave. Holding his mother''s hand The little boy Patrick looked at Xia Yu''s back, and then looked down at the Rubik''s Cube that had been restored on six sides, a touch of firmness flashed in his eyes. ... As he walked to the store, Li Qian whispered next to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, the little boy was so young, he thought of writing a book, it¡¯s so amazing, do you think what you just said inspired him to write? Where''s the book?" Xia Yu smiled openly. How did he know if it was the effect of his words, so he smiled and said, "It should be that he has an idea. That little boy looks very smart." In fact, Xia Yu really guessed right. The little boy named Patrick, whose full name is Patrick Possett, was the one who wrote a book called "You Can Recover the Rubik''s Cube" in the original history. Nearly 1.5 million copies have been published, and because of the appearance of this book, the sales of Rubik''s Cube in the UK have greatly increased, and its influence has also increased dramatically. However, how can Xia Yu know such trivial matters, let alone remember them. I ignored this episode. Soon, Xia Yu ordered the food, and a group of people relaxed in the box and chatted. Chapter 262: The trouble is coming ? After eating a meal beautifully, Xia Yu and others plan to leave the restaurant. But before that, Li Qian suddenly said that he would go to the toilet. Considering that it was in a restaurant, there should be no problem, so Xia Yu and others continued to rest in the box for a while and took Li Qian back before leaving. It was just that as time passed, Li Qian hadn''t returned yet, Xia Yu looked at his watch, and it was obvious that it was over the time. Xia Yu frowned and realized that something was wrong. "Go, let''s see what''s going on." Xia Yu was worried, and stood up as he said, led everyone out of the box and walked towards the bathroom. "Please get out of here!" Some panicked voices of Li Qian came from afar, Xia Yu''s face suddenly changed, and a trace of evil spirit flashed in his eyes, and he ran towards the other side. Yan Shining and the others were also ready to fight there. "Get out of the way!" Yan Shining shouted in a cold voice, pushing away those who were in the way ahead, so that Xia Yu could run forward. Soon, Xia Yu saw Li Qian in the corridor outside the bathroom. He was surrounded by a few second-generation people and was not allowed to go. Li Qian was leaning against the wall in panic, and kept backing away. "Xia Yu, come on, they stopped me from leaving." After seeing Xia Yu, Li Qian grabbed the wood like a drowning child and hurriedly shouted. Li Qian''s changes were seen by the people around her. The young brother-like people around her looked at Xia Yu, and their expressions became serious when they saw the bodyguard who was following Xia Yu. But one of the people who was obviously drunk glanced at Xia Yu, then looked back, smiled at Li Qian and said, "beauties, let''s make friends. Everyone is Chinese. Have a chance to meet." Seeing that these two generations were still so arrogant and molested Li Qian in front of him, Xia Yu was very angry, but Li Qian hadn''t come over there, worried that Li Qian would be hurt, Xia Yu could only suppress his anger first. With a cold stern look, Xia Yu looked at Li Qian and said in a deep voice, "Cixian, come here!" Li Qian obediently wanted to come over. Unexpectedly, the second generation of Arrogant opened his hand to stop Li Qian, and even molested him: "It turned out to be Qian Qian, this name is really nice." "You are Cici¡¯s boyfriend, you¡¯re just a kid who doesn¡¯t have the same hair. I make friends with Cici. This restaurant belongs to me, so your meals will be exempted. Give me face and burp. ¡­¡­OK?" The second generation who was drunk said frivolously, as if he was drunk and did not speak through the brain, and made a mindless request. Maybe it was too long, and I couldn''t help but hiccup. "Haha!" The second generations beside him couldn''t help laughing. But one of the attendants was obviously seeing Xia Yu''s fists clenched, and the bodyguards around him also tended to do things. He realized that it was not good, and did not hesitate. He ran in the other direction, as if he was planning to call someone, Xia Yu Just glanced coldly and withdrew his gaze. "Get out of me!" Xia Yu''s sword eyebrows were erected, coldly looking at the arrogant second generation, and said coldly. Seeing Xia Yu coldly drink to him, the second generation of Arrogance became a little more sober. Has he suffered from this kind of anger? The arrogant second generation frowned and said dissatisfied: "What? Want to make trouble on my site?" Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed, and his heart was even more angry. Had it not been for the concern that Li Qian hadn''t come over, she was worried that she would be assaulted or something, Xia Yu would have done it long ago. At this time, Yan Shining and others also looked at Xia Yu, waiting for his words, ready to do something. The arrogant second generation was drunk and couldn''t see the situation, but the next few second generations who watched the excitement felt that Xia Yu and the others seemed to really dare to do it, but because they were on their own territory, their bodyguards were all upstairs. If they didn''t come up, they would definitely suffer. Fortunately, Liu An, the arrogant second-generation follower, had already run down and shouted, and their hearts were calmer. But the most important thing now is to stabilize the scene. "This friend, don''t get excited. If you have something to say, everyone is Chinese. There is no need to be like this." "Yes, the third young master just had a good time drinking, in fact, I just want to meet your girlfriend, there is no other meaning." "Sir, let''s sit in the room and let people watch jokes in this corridor." One said he wanted to pull the drunk arrogant second-generation into the box. It''s just that the second generation of Arrogance is obviously tempered and drunk too much. He still didn''t see the situation clearly. He threw away other people''s hands with a grimace and muttered: "Who dares to read me jokes? This is my territory. Who dares?" At this moment, Li Wuming''s ears moved and he heard a slight vibration. He reminded him softly in Xia Yu''s ear: "Boss, their people are upstairs." Xia Yu frowned slightly, then looked at Li Qian, who was being stopped and couldn¡¯t get through, leaning against the wall. He couldn¡¯t take care of that much anymore. First he pulled Li Qian back to his side so that he could let go of his hands and feet. Just as hot as it is now. "I dare!" "Snapped!" Without any signs, Xia Yu directly shouted angrily and rushed towards the second generation of arrogance. When everyone did not react, he slapped his face with a slap and made a crisp sound. "what!" The second generation arrogant uttered a scream, covered his face and fell to the side. The other second generations widened their eyes, unexpectedly Xia Yu dared to fight the second generation arrogant, the matter was serious! "Three young masters, how are you?" "Dare to hit me?" The intense pain awakened the second generation of Arrogance completely. He covered his face in pain, looked at Xia Yu walking towards Li Qian with a murderous voice, and said bitterly. "Boom boom boom!" "Three Masters!" "Quickly pass!" At this moment, there was a series of footsteps on the stairs on the other side of the corridor. The man who had just left walked up again, and a group of black bodyguards followed him. When he saw the second generation arrogant lying on the ground, the face of the man who was going to shout changed drastically, and he hurried to this side with a shout, and the bodyguards behind him were faster than him. "Boss, come here!" Yan Shining shouted. Xia Yu also held Li Qian''s hand at this time, and did not waste time with any nonsense, and directly pulled Li Qian back behind Yan Shining and the others. From the moment Xia Yu started, he was doomed to be incapable of doing good. But as long as Li Qian is not there, and Yan Shining, Li Wuming, and Hou Sheng are there, even if it is on someone else''s territory, Xia Yu is not at all afraid! "Hey, don''t be afraid!" Feeling Li Qian trembling in panic while holding his arm Xia Yu gently hugged her distressedly and comforted. Xia Yu can also understand Li Qian''s mood. With Li Qian''s personality, it is inevitable to panic when encountering such a thing. If he is not afraid, it will be abnormal. "Fuck me, dare to beat me, this is endless, and I will abolish them!" Seeing the bodyguards of himself and the others came up, the second generation of arrogance was emboldened. He stood up with the help of others, leaned on the door of the box and let go, pointed at Xia Yu and others, and said sharply. "Go! Listen to the three young masters!" Several other people also said to their bodyguards. Upon receiving the order, all seven or eight bodyguards rushed to the three of Li Wuming who were waiting. Among the three of Li Wuming, Li Wuming stood in the forefront and prepared the attack, while Yan Shining stood beside Xia Yu, protecting Xia Yu at any time, while Hou Sheng was always observing the surrounding movement and was ready to respond at any time. The strongest Li Wuming naturally did not disappoint Xia Yu. Chapter 263: start a feud In the corridor more than two meters wide, Li Wuming opened up and rushed directly into the group of bodyguards. "Boom, boom...ah...ah..." "boom!" Li Wuming''s punches and kicks did not miss every attack, and he fell heavily on the bodyguard in black, making a series of noises, followed by the bodyguard who was attacked screaming in pain. Seeing Li Wuming slaughter the enemy cleanly, and glanced at the dumbfounded second generation at the door of the box, Xia Yu showed a sneer, and he had a more intuitive expression of Li Wuming''s combat effectiveness. Naturally, there is more than one box in this corridor. The people in some other boxes have discovered conflicts from the beginning, but whether they are Chinese or foreigners, they all hold the idea that more is worse than less, and they dare not mix. But not coming to blend in does not mean that you don''t like to watch the fun, and everyone who eats melon is willing to be. So when the conflict progressed to the hands-on, they all stuck their heads out and paid attention. At this time, when they saw Li Wuming''s powerful combat effectiveness, some foreigners suddenly exclaimed and stared at Li Wuming. It has not been a few years since Bruce Lee''s death. At this time, China Kung Fu has become famous all over the world because of Bruce Lee, and it has set off a wave of enthusiasm. Many foreigners know a little bit about Chinese Kungfu, or have seen Bruce Lee show off his combat power on TV, but have never seen Chinese Kungfu with his own eyes. However, in the eyes of many foreigners, the yellow-skinned Chinese people have been hooked up with Kung Fu, and it seems that as long as they are Chinese, they are likely to be Kung Fu. At this moment, seeing Li Wuming showing his power, everyone couldn''t help exclaiming. "Wow, Chinese Kungfu!" "Amazing!" Hearing so many voices, Li Wuming frowned slightly. He didn''t like being pointed at by people as a monkey, so he consciously took a lot of seriousness and started more violently. "what!" "Bang...ah!" In a few moments, all seven or eight strong men in black clothes were put on the ground by Li Wuming, holding certain parts of their bodies and struggling on the ground, unable to get up at all. Seeing that there were still two people beside Xia Yu who hadn''t done anything, all seven or eight bodyguards of himself and others had been killed by Li Wuming alone, and the arrogant Second Generation and the others were suddenly afraid. Heroes don¡¯t suffer from immediate losses! According to the current situation, if you were beaten, it was all for nothing, so let''s lower your head first! When he saw Xia Yu walking towards him, the second generation of Arrogant didn''t care about the pain on his face, and said with a smile: "This friend, I''m sorry, I have too much urine to talk and do nothing, please forgive me!" After all, the second generation of arrogance came out of the proud family, naturally not stupid, although sometimes arrogant, but it is not outrageous, it is easy to be uncontrollable when drunk. As the saying goes, the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie. Now that he has been beaten up, he naturally knows how to do it. Even if he can''t wait to kill Xia Yu, he knows that it is the right way to protect himself now. Want revenge, I''ll talk about it later! It''s just that the second generation of arrogant confession just thinks about it, Xia Yu doesn''t want to, his anger hasn''t let out yet. Now that he has done it, and the hatred has been settled, then he doesn''t care about making the hatred a little deeper. The tone in his heart hasn''t come out yet! The second generation of arrogance provoked him and molested his girlfriend Li Qian. How could it be solved with a slap? When the situation looks good, the mission is arrogant. When you see that the situation is not good, you bow your head and confess your mistakes and want to expose it. How can there be such a good thing in the world? This time, his Xia Yu will have to be arrogant again to prove that he is not muddled! "what are you doing!" The man who had just been calling for people saw Xia Yu coming, and immediately stood out to block the arrogant Second Generation. He glanced at Li Wuming, who was following Xia Yu with a cold face, and he couldn''t help swallowing his saliva. To say. Without Xia Yu''s hands, Li Wuming directly pushed him away, revealing the arrogant second generation that was blocked by him. "This friend, there is no need to do this, I didn''t touch your girlfriend, you slapped me, it should be almost the same, I was also unintentional when I drank too much." The second generation of Arrogant was in a very calm state at this time. He said with a strong smile, because his face was so painful, he pulled his facial muscles when he smiled, and a painful sensation spread to his nerves, which made him unable to resist His face twitched a few times. "I''m sorry?" "Otherwise, you can do whatever you want, as long as I can do it!" "Ha ha!" "Snapped!" Xia Yu walked up to the second generation of arrogant expressionlessly, said with a sneer, and then quickly shook his hand to the other side of the second generation of arrogant, and made another crisp sound. "what!" The second generation of arrogant screamed, with fiery pain on his face, and his heart was full of humiliation. What''s more, he was beaten in front of his friends and on his own territory, and his face was also lost. A raging anger surged from his chest, and the anger went straight to the brain, but he was still suppressed, and he did not say harsh words, but once again endured the pain and looked at Xia Yu with a strong smile. Just because he was really angry, he didn''t say more this time. The reaction of the arrogant second generation made Xia Yu''s brows slightly frowned. The drunken state is completely different from the sober state. This is a completely different person, even this can be tolerated, it seems that it is not a simple character. This is troublesome! Xia Yu knew that a dog that would bite would not bark! However, after two heavy slaps, Xia Yu''s anger almost disappeared. After all, Li Qian hadn''t been touched by him, otherwise it would definitely not be a matter of two slaps. On other people''s turf, in full view, he really can''t do anything about the second generation of arrogant, after getting out of anger, he can only end. "go!" Looking at the other people blankly, Xia Yu retracted his gaze and turned around to take Yan Shining and the others away. Until Xia Yu and others disappeared from sight, the few people next to the second generation of arrogance breathed a sigh of relief. One of them saw a group of bodyguards who were still wailing on the ground and couldn''t get up. He said with lingering fear: "Damn, you can fight like this, what is the origin?" "Three young masters, do you want to call the police? They might run away later." Seeing Arrogant Second Generation''s gloomy face, the other person quickly asked with concern. The second generation of arrogant clenched his fists and his eyes were full of fierceness. He hated to say: "Don''t call the police, as long as you are in the UK, you can''t run away! First find out who he is!" When the brain is awake, the second generation of Arrogance will naturally not blindly retaliate. He must first figure out Xia Yu''s foundation. If he finds that Xia Yu is easy to clean up, then he has a way to clean him up! As for the police? He can''t afford to lose this person. The police will only make things worse. When he is outside the preacher, he is beaten on his own territory, so where does he put his face? His prestige in the family will also be hit, which is not what he wants! Moreover, due to the efficiency of the British police, when the police arrived, the people would have disappeared. "Hi...ah" As he clenched his teeth unconsciously, his face tightened, and the arrogant second generation''s face was painful again, and he couldn''t help crying out. "Three young masters, go to the hospital first!" The arrogant second-generation follower said immediately, and then helped him downstairs. ... On the way back Even in the room at night, Xia Yu kept calming Li Qian to avoid the things of tonight leaving a shadow in her heart. Under Xia Yu''s comfort, Li Qian was really good A lot. No words for a night. Early the next morning, Xia Yu and others flew to Budapest, the capital of Hungary. He wanted to find Professor Erno Rubik from the Budapest School of Architecture and buy the Rubik''s Cube patent in his hand. As for betting matters, it will not be affected, because Hungary is located in the middle of Europe, and there are also betting points of major domestic betting companies. It is easy to bet on football. And betting in Hungary will be safer for Xia Yu and reduce the risk of exposure. "Woo..." A huge plane rose from the ground at Southampton City Airport and soared into the sky. Sitting in the first-class cabin, Xia Yu looked at the smaller and smaller buildings outside the window. There was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, and he muttered: "Budapest, I''m here! I hope I don''t come back empty-handed..." ~: Were giving out benefits, enter the group lottery It suddenly occurred to me that I was helping my family sell navel oranges every day. I haven''t thanked everyone for your support, so I just held an event temporarily. After joining the group, I will draw a lottery at 6:30 this evening.

There is no way to organize the event personally, please help Brother Liu to organize it. Brother Liu has worked hard! Please forgive me too! I''m really sorry! I really want to participate by myself and have a conversation with everyone, but as the saying goes, people can''t help themselves in the arena. Of course, I am not in the arena, in society, and many things are beyond their control. The brothers who won the prize in today¡¯s event, I have already given the orders to my brother. Because of the peak period of Double 11, what is the specific situation of express delivery, I don¡¯t say that everyone knows that the freshness period of fresh products is not long, so avoid Double 11. , The navel oranges are left on the mountain without picking. Make sure that they are as fresh as possible when you receive them. It is expected that they will be picked up on the 16th and will be sent to you at that time. During Double 11, the express delivery situation may not be very good, a little slow, but also Please excuse me! Of course, some friends don¡¯t use QQ.

Also, you can add water to the water, QQ group number 623392664, welcome everyone to come, haha Chapter 264: The Plight of Wu Family In a suburb in the north of London, there is a small valley with lush greenery in the valley. A small stream flows through the valley and then flows into a lake at the bottom of the valley. On the right side of the valley, there is a row of houses by the lake, and in the center is a small palace-like house. But what is peculiar is that these houses are all civilized structures, all of which are Chinese classical buildings, which contain a strong Chinese cultural connotation. Such clusters of Chinese houses are quite rare in the UK! But if you know which family you live in, you won¡¯t be surprised, because it is the longest-lived Chinese family in the UK! It is also the big family of the Chinese in London and even the entire British, the Wu family who can rank in the top three in overall strength! At this moment, in a small courtyard at the innermost part of the Wujia compound, two old people were sitting face to face in front of a stone table. On the stone table was a chess board. Watching the game, the two of them were killing it. Minute. "Snapped!" Wearing a luxurious Tang suit and full of white hair, the one who was obviously older walked forward and made a crisp noise. "Snapped!" Another old man who was obviously a housekeeper did not hesitate and set up a gun stand. ... For a long time, the old man in the Tang suit was still playing chess, and the general directly solved the battle. "Master, are you still coming?" The butler asked softly. "It''s not coming, people are old and can''t sit for too long, get up and walk!" The old man in Tang suit said with emotion, picking up the faucet crutches leaning next to him, preparing to stand up, and the housekeeper immediately got up to help. With the help of the housekeeper, the old man in Tang suit walked a few times in the yard and then looked at the century-old ginkgo in the yard. Stretching out his old hand and gently stroking the dry and wrinkled bark, he sighed, "I''m old, I''ll be alive in a few years." After all, the housekeeper grew up with the old man in Tang suit. He naturally heard the deep meaning and other meanings expressed by the old man in Tang suit. His expression was also complicated, and he cared: "Master, you must live a long life." "Haha, Afu, there is no need to say such things." "Afu, I vaguely remember that when I was a child, my grandfather lived in this yard, and I played with you under the ginkgo tree, but I didn''t expect time to pass so fast, and it was in the twilight." People always feel more emotional when they are old, and prefer to recall the past. The old man in Tang suit looked at Ah Fu, the housekeeper who was supporting him, and said with emotion. "Master, the reincarnation of life and death is a normal thing. You have been worrying about your family for the rest of your life. You should rest." Butler Ah Fu said softly. Hearing the family, the old man in the Tang suit smiled helplessly and sighed: "My father handed the family to me. I didn''t dare to relax for a day. I should have been able to rest long ago, but... hey..." Knowing that the master was thinking of the second young master Wu Huasheng who had passed away, the butler Ah Fu also shook his head with complex expression, and felt uncomfortable. Wu Huasheng is the second son of Wu Chengde, an old Tang suit veteran. He was talented and was very interested in business since he was a child. He had the ambition of his ancestor Wu Bingjian. He started to understand the family business in his spare time when he was 13 years old. He began to enter the family business at the age of. Wu Huasheng learns everything very fast, his thinking is unbelievable, and he is born with a big heart. He doesn''t panic when he is in trouble. He takes care of everything in an orderly manner, and his ability exceeds that of the young master Wu Huachang. For the long-term development of the family, the head of the Wu family is the most outstanding person of the same generation. Of course, Wu Huasheng with outstanding ability is naturally valued by Wu Chengde. Although he is not the eldest son, he has long been established as the first in the family. Heir, other rooms are very supportive. The eldest son Wu Huachang saw the situation clearly, gave up competing with his younger brother Wu Huasheng, and worked hard to assist Wu Huasheng to strengthen the family. It seems that talent will be inherited. Wu Huasheng¡¯s son, Wu Hongyi, is also not inferior to his father. He also has the atmosphere of Wu Huasheng when he was a child. He is smart and easy to learn. In addition, Wu Huasheng always teaches by precepts and deeds. Son head. The performance of Wu Huasheng and his son made Wu Chengde shout that there are outstanding people in the Wu family and successors. It''s a pity that the good times didn''t last long. During a business trip, Wu Huasheng passed away in a car accident, and his wife died together, leaving only the young Wu Hongyi. When this terrifying news came back to the Wu family, Wu Chengde was killed and he didn''t believe it. When he saw the two **** bodies of Wu Huasheng and his wife, he fainted on the spot and got up in bed for three days. The white-haired person sending the black-haired person to Wu Chengde really hit Wu Chengde too much. Especially this dead son was not only his son, but also the first heir of the Wu family, who shouldered the heavy burden of reviving the Wu family. The hope of the Wu family lies. But such a scorching sun that was slowly rising, just fell halfway, and the future of the Wu family also cast a shadow. Wu Huasheng''s death did not stop there. His son Wu Hongyi suffered from the death of his parents at a young age. His temperament changed drastically, and he gradually became silent and liked to be alone in a daze. And Wu Hongyi''s smartness and studious when he was a child disappeared, which made Wu Chengde even more difficult to accept, and he kept enlightening Wu Hongyi, but it was difficult for anyone to walk into Wu Hongyi''s heart. As he grew older, Wu Hongyi became more cheerful, but he also showed that he was not enthusiastic about family business The personality also became indifferent, not fighting or grabbing, just knowing to be patient and avoid blindly. Two years ago, I even bought a house outside. Since then, I have rarely returned to Wu''s house. This disappointed Wu Chengde. After the death of the first heir, the eldest son Wu Huachang appeared in front of Wu Chengde again. The people in the other rooms are not as good as Wu Huachang. However, in Wu Chengde¡¯s eyes, Wu Huachang¡¯s ability is not very outstanding. In the ever-changing era, Wu Chengde was not at all assured to hand over the family to Wu Huachang. There is no way, he can only continue to take care of him personally, and then consciously train Wu Huachang, and Wu Huachang also realizes that the opportunity is coming, and studies diligently, hoping to take the position of the head of the family as soon as possible. Moreover, Wu Huachang also consciously cultivated his two sons, but I don''t know why, the elder son is not as good as the younger son. Wu Huachang also focuses on cultivating the younger son Wu Honglin, and is even less interested in the older son Wu Hongqi. "Afu, is there anything in the family?" The two were silent for a long time, and Wu Chengde, an old man in Tang costume, looked up at the sky and asked lightly. "Master, everything else is fine, but the Second Young Master and Third Young Master have changed a bit." Butler Ah Fu reports respectfully. Hearing that his two grandchildren were about the next generation, Wu Chengde''s eyes condensed, and a touch of expectation emerged in his heart. He is really old, and he can''t control how long the family has been. The Wu family must complete the transfer of rights as soon as possible before he can leave with confidence, otherwise, in case of any accident, he will not die! Chapter 265: All wishes come true "How are they?" Wu Chengde asked lightly. "Something happened to the third son. He was beaten in Southampton last night, and he was in the hotel he managed." Butler Ah Fu''s head dropped slightly and said softly. Wu Chengde frowned slightly, and did not care about the injuries of his third grandson, but asked in a deep voice, "What''s the reason?" "Yesterday the San Gongzi hosted some Chinese friends in Southampton. After drinking too much, he stopped a woman in the restaurant and was slapped twice by her boyfriend. There was a fight before, San Gongzi and others All eight of the human bodyguards were knocked down by one of the opponent''s. As for the origin of that person, it is not clear for the time being. When someone was sent to investigate this morning, they were already empty." Butler Ah Fu reported all the investigations truthfully and did not conceal the slightest to avoid misleading Wu Chengde''s judgment. "Huh, deserve it!" Hearing what the butler Ah Fu said, Wu Chengde coldly snorted, with a hint of disappointment in his tone of hatred for iron and steel. Butler Ah Fu shook his head and did not comment. He also watched Wu Honglin grow up and knew Wu Honglin''s position in Wu Chengde''s mind. It can be said that Wu Chengde was not satisfied with Wu Honglin. Wu Honglin always thought that no one had discovered what he was doing, but he didn''t know that everything was seen by Wu Chengde, who put his family first. In front of his grandfather Wu Chengde, Wu Honglin has always been obedient and very active in everything, but when outside, he will still have a dull look, and he will only pursue results when he does things, and is somewhat unscrupulous. Forget it, Wu Honglin has another shortcoming, that is, he is greedy for enjoyment, he values ??female sex, and he often spends time outside. In fact, these are the common problems of the descendants of the wealthy family. As long as they have outstanding ability, it doesn''t matter. The most serious thing is that both Wu Honglin and his father Wu Huachang secretly suppressed Wu Hongyi, who was alone. Even if Wu Hongyi didn''t want to fight, they were not let go. This is what irritated and disappointed Wu Chengde the most. No matter whether it is Wu Huachang or Wu Honglin, they have no style of patronage and broad mind. In Wu Chengde''s view, it is destined to be no big thing! But Wu Hongyi also disappointed Wu Chengde. Every time he endured silently, gave in again and again, never knowing to fight, Wu Chengde didn''t want to intervene because he was optimistic about Wu Hongyi giving up by himself, and he could not support it for a few years. Under the circumstances, the family will most likely be handed over to Wu Huachang in the end, and there is no need for him to recur. Even if Wu Huachang is not able to develop, Wu Honglin does not seem to be the one who pioneered ZTE, but no matter what, it shouldn''t be a problem to keep it. It is precisely because of this consideration that even though everything is in his eyes, Wu Chengde pretends to turn a deaf ear, as long as they do not go too far, let them go. He is still old after all, and will live in a few years! ... To return to the subject, although he was dissatisfied with Wu Honglin and believed that he was beaten on his own account, Wu Honglin was his grandson after all, and was beaten in the face of Wu Jia on his own territory. For Xia Yu and others, he naturally should pay attention , After all, a person with a master as a bodyguard is definitely not a simple person. Since he came to the UK, he must know in order to respond at any time. "You send someone to find out what they are coming from." A gleam of light flashed in Wu Chengde''s muddy eyes and said to the butler A Fu. "Ok!" The butler Ah Fu answered with an eyebrow. "Where is Hongyi? Still in his nest and refusing to come out?" After pondering for a while, Wu Chengde asked again, more concentrated. Although he was disappointed with Wu Hongyi again and again, Wu Chengde never gave up Wu Hongyi. After all, his father Wu Huasheng and Wu Hongyi''s performance when he was a child left a deep impression on Wu Chengde. "Master, the change of the second son is good." Butler A Fu first said, making Wu Chengde frown, and a glimmer of expectation rose in his heart. Without letting Wu Chengde wait, the housekeeper Afuhui reported: "The morning before yesterday, the second son took a friend to his Phoenix Building, and also took the initiative to discuss business with Ye Huanrong of Rongyehang, and then he took the initiative to participate in the Chinese businessmen in London Chinatown. In the preparations for the association, it was very diligent." This time, Wu Chengde was really surprised. He lifted his spirits and his eyes were no longer muddy. He looked at the butler Ah Fu with scorching eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "A Fu, what are you saying is true?" "Master, you know me, I never lie, nor do I favor any son." Butler Ah Fu said calmly. Wu Chengde nodded silently. He blurted out what he said just now because he was a little unbelievable. You know, Wu Hongyi has let Wu Chengde down for so many years. He has always been tolerant and not contentious, even after taking a restaurant, he hid in the southern suburbs of London. And even the Phoenix Building, he could leave it to his housekeeper Li Hongchang to take care of it, and act as the shopkeeper. But now that the sun has come out from the west, Wu Hongyi has turned out to be uncharacteristic, taking the initiative to take care of the restaurant affairs, and even discuss business. That''s all, he actually took the initiative to participate in the preparation of the London Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, which means that he is actively establishing contacts and establishing prestige. What is he trying to do? Is it awake? Thinking of this, Wu Chengde¡¯s long-lost mood arose. He knocked on the ground with the leading cane, and then solemnly ordered: "Afu, keep staring, and report to me the situation of Hony every day. Special circumstances should be reported to me in time." "Good lord!" Butler Afu immediately answered. In fact, Wu Chengde does not need to say that he will do the same. Although he does not favor any heir in front of Wu Chengde, he knows Wu Chengde''s attitude towards the sons. He also knows that the master values ??and cares about the family. It is said that people are old and good. Butler Ah Fu grew up with Wu Chengde since he was a child. He also knows that although he does not handle various affairs of the Wu family, his ability and vision are also much higher than ordinary people~www. novelhall.com~ The angle of view of the problem is also very tricky. If he is not capable, Wu Chengde will not let him assist the intelligence power of the family! What happened in this yard was destined to be known only by Wu Chengde and the housekeeper A Fu, and Wu Honglin and Wu Hongyi were kept in the dark. ... Besides Xia Yu, the group of them flew directly to Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and went straight to the School of Architecture without stopping, looking for Professor Rubik. Professor Rubik is very famous at the Budapest School of Architecture, and he learned a lot of news as soon as he inquired. Xia Yu and his party found him. The final result was gratifying, Xia Yu got what he wanted. Because Rubik only registered the Rubik''s Cube patent in Hungary, and also authorized a little bit of production for a businessman in his country, the cost of Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition was not high. In the end, the price was increased to 500,000 US dollars, and the Rubik¡¯s Cube patent was added. The ownership is in hand. After obtaining the patent, Xia Yu faxed it back to Xiangjiang and gave Ma Tengdong immediately, and instructed him to immediately register the Rubik''s Cube patent around the world, and recruit people to continue to develop the Rubik''s Cube. As for how to produce and sell the Rubik''s Cube, he will handle it personally when Xia Yu returns. In addition to the Rubik''s Cube, Xia Yu has also been betting non-stop. Just when he came to the center of the European continent, Xia Yu didn''t rush back to the UK at all. Time flew by, and it was June 20 in a blink of an eye. Thinking that June 21 was the day when the Chinese Entrepreneur Association was established, Xia Yu finally stopped his journey and embarked on a return journey to Britain. Chapter 266: Auspicious days In the early morning of June 21st, Xia Yu and others woke up early. Everyone was dressed very grandly, because today is the big day for the establishment of the Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in London. Various upper-level figures will be present. Xia Yu naturally has to pay attention to it. The first impression of others. "boom¡­¡­" Just when Xia Yu and others were about to leave the house, a roar of cars came from far and near, and then there was the sound of car braking and flameout outside the door. "Let''s go, Wu Hongyi should be here." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he led everyone out. After opening the door, it turned out to be Wu Hongyi in a formal suit and imposing manner. "Hongyi, you came really early, you came as soon as we wanted to find you, haha." Xia Yu said with a smile, and Wu Hongyi smiled after hearing it. "Let''s go!" Let''s just say, Yan Shining and Hou Sheng each drove a car, a group of three cars drove towards the city of London. Chinese culture is extensive and profound. Whether it is for a wedding or a funeral, you must choose a suitable day and time. This is the so-called selection of a good day. The establishment of the London Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association is a very important issue for London and even the Chinese community in the UK. Naturally, it is necessary to choose an auspicious hour, and finally after careful selection, 10 am is the most suitable time. It was because it started at ten o''clock that Xia Yu could go home and live in such peace of mind, otherwise he would have stayed in the hotel. Xia Yu just came back yesterday, and he hasn''t been to Chinatown for about five days. When he came again at this time, he found that Chinatown had changed a lot. The lanterns at the entrance of each store were replaced with the latest big red lanterns. The entire street was cleaned very cleanly. In the center of Juelu Street, a six-meter-high platform was built, and the entire platform was covered with red cloth. These are just hardware changes. In terms of people, the changes are also great. A lot of people came along Jue Lu Street at this time. In addition to the Chinese, there were also British people. The Chinese were all dressed up in festive formal attire. They were full of energy. They made good gifts when they met, and congratulated everyone. In addition to pedestrians, there is also a large performance team on Juelu Street. Lions and dragon dance teams walk around Juelu Street. It is very lively to beat gongs and drums. Many foreigners are surprised and applauded when they see this performance for the first time. The sound came and went one after another in the crowd. "Xia Yu, it''s so lively!" Li Qian walked with Xia Yu''s hand, looking left and right, blinking and looking around with her beautiful big eyes, whispering in Xia Yu''s ear. The arm was wrapped in a soft touch. Even though he was already familiar with it, Xia Yu was still cool and don¡¯t want it. At this time, when he heard Li Qian¡¯s words, he smiled and said: "It hasn¡¯t started yet, there will be more lively." "Really? Looking forward to it!" Li Qian said with joy, with a look of expectation on her beautiful little face, and a look of longing appeared in her eyes. "Xia Yu, let''s go, it''s almost time, let''s get in quickly, don''t let others wait for long." Wu Hongyi raised his left hand and looked at his watch, then said to Xia Yu. "Well, let''s go!" Xia Yu nodded in response, and then followed Wu Hongyi towards a hotel next to the stage. He came to the door and put down the flower basket first. Then everyone stepped on the red carpet and strode towards the magnificent hall. "Master Wu, congratulations on getting rich!" "Young Master Wu, you are here, congratulations on getting rich!" ... As soon as I entered, I saw many glamorous people coming together in twos and threes and talking and laughing, but everyone kept their attention at the door, ready to meet important people at any time. At this time, seeing Wu Hongyi coming out, many people immediately greeted him and said blessings. In addition, many people looked at Xia Yu who was holding Li Qian and wondered about Xia Yu''s identity. As for Yan Shining, Li Wuming and others, they are far away from Xia Yu. After they came in, they quietly came to the side to avoid affecting Xia Yu, but they still always pay attention to the situation around Xia Yu in order to respond to emergencies in time and protect Xia Yu¡¯s safety. "I would like to introduce you to everyone. This is my good friend Xia Yu. It hasn''t been long since he came from Xiangjiang, but he is a business wizard. Next to him is his girlfriend Li Qian." Wu Hongyi introduced Xia Yu to the crowd around him. Xia Yu hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "I am a small businessman, don''t listen to Hony''s words, I can''t be true, I am glad to meet you! This is my business card, please Hui Cun." With that said, Xia Yu took out the business cards he had prepared and sent them to the people around him. Others also quickly took out their business cards and handed them to Xia Yu, constantly saying polite words. "Mr. Xia, it''s nice to meet you. I''m Liu Guilong from Shuixing Commercial Bank. I''m free to communicate with you." "Mr. Xia, this is Martin Long from Longsheng Department Store. I came from Xiangjiang ten years ago. I am glad to meet you." ... In a crowd of polite voices, Xia Yu exchanged business cards with everyone with a smile on his face, and Wu Hongyi looked at it with a smile on his face, happy for Xia Yu. "Master Wu, you are here, the other directors are already inside, and the Mayor of London Jones Jason will be there soon. Look?" There are so many people around Xia Yu, and the lively scene attracts the attention of many people. Almost everyone recognizes Wu Hongyi. They know that Wu family takes it for granted. At this moment, A person ran over and said to Wu Hongyi. "Hongyi, go ahead and don''t miss the business." Xia Yu said understandingly. "Okay Then I''ll go there first, I''ll come to you later." Wu Hongyi said with a hint of apology, and then said to the people around him: "Please entertain Xia Yu, I will leave if I have something to do." "Master Wu is polite." ... Seeing this situation, Xia Yu smiled helplessly, and his affection for Wu Hongyi rose again. It seems that Wu Hongyi really regarded him as a good friend, otherwise he would not consider him so much. . After Wu Hongyi left, Xia Yu talked and laughed with everyone. With his social skills, these are small scenes now, so they can naturally cope with it easily. With so many businessmen in the entire venue, someone must have been to Xiangjiang in the past six months, so when he saw the titles of "Jiuding Newspaper Company" and "Jiuding Securities Company" on Xia Yu¡¯s business card, he immediately knew his Strength, immediately showed more enthusiasm. The people present are all successful people. Everyone has a skill. The simplest eyesight and insight are the most indispensable. When you find that some people¡¯s reactions are wrong, you immediately ask the reason, so the news about Xia Yu is secretly murmured. According to legend, it was quickly known to most people. Naturally, more and more people came to know Xia Yu politely. After all, Xia Yu''s own strength is absolutely stronger than most of the people present, and he seems to be close friends with the second son of the Wu family. So no matter how you look at it, Xia Yu is worthy of their friendship. This is the result Xia Yu wanted, so he made many beautiful business cards yesterday. Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY! If you want to make friends with others and make others value them, you have to show your strength, otherwise the time and energy of others are so precious, where is time wasted on worthless people? Chapter 267: Was targeted Just as Xia Yu was dancing with his long sleeves, there was a sudden commotion in the venue. Xia Yu looked over and found that two Englishmen had arrived. At the moment he appeared, there was a special person to greet him. "It turns out that the Mayor of London Jones Jason is here, no wonder." After seeing the appearance of the visitor, he immediately recognized who the visitor was, and said inwardly. There is a saying that businessmen can not be involved in politics, but they must understand politics. This sentence is adapted to the mainland, and it can be seen in previous lives that businessmen who understand politics and conform to the national strategy are mixed up, such as Emma, ??and businessmen who violate the national strategy, even if they have backers, in front of the general trend of the country, Still to be cleaned up, like Wang''s richest man. The will of a country cannot be carried by a small number of people! Of course, in capitalist countries, although capital is above politics, it does not mean that politics is not enough. Capitalists still have to manipulate politics in the background to achieve their goals. Therefore, in the capitalist world, the degree of integration between capitalists and politics is very high. High. The stronger the capitalists and consortia, the deeper their influence and control over politics! Even in later generations, when traditional politicians cannot satisfy the interests of capitalists, capitalists will roll up their sleeves and go to battle in person to grab the jobs of politicians. Comrade Trump¡¯s rise to power is a manifestation of the separation between traditional American politicians and capitalists. After coming to the UK, Xia Yu was the first to understand the current situation in the UK and the current situation of the city of London. When watching TV at night, he could also see the lens of the Mayor of London, so he recognized Jones Jason for the first time. Jones Jason is the mayor of London, a member of the British Parliament, a member of the Conservative Party, the current leader of the Conservative Party, and a loyal supporter of Thatcher, known as the "Iron Lady". Xia Yu knew that in May next year, Thatcher will lead the Conservative Party to regain power. At that time, Jones Jason, who is a loyal supporter of Thatcher, will receive strong support from the Conservative Party and the government. The throne of the mayor will sit more firmly. It can be said that Jones Jason is definitely a heavyweight. Now he came to the day when the Chinatown Chinese Business Association was established in London, presumably to win the favor and support of the Chinese. After all, everyone knows that the Chinese are very united and are not very enthusiastic about political participation. Whether it is the Conservative Party, the Labor Party or the Liberal Party, they all want to get the support of the Chinese. It has been less than a year since the election of the prime minister. The prime minister of the United Kingdom is held by the majority leader of the House of Commons, while the members of the House of Commons are elected by popular vote. Therefore, the vote of every citizen is of vital importance. It is normal for Sen to have this thought. Just after Jones Jason came in, Xia Yu thought no one was coming. He never thought that as soon as Jones Jason came in, someone came in on the back foot, and all the people who came were Chinese. The first one looked righteous and gave the impression of others. Excellent. As soon as he appeared, the people near the gate immediately greeted him with no less enthusiasm than before. Xia Yu frowned slightly, he didn''t even recognize who it was. While he was still meditating, a Chinese businessman next to him saw Xia Yu¡¯s confusion, and whispered in Xia Yu¡¯s ear: "The first is China¡¯s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Qian Wenchao, on the left. This is Minister Cheng Jie, and the military attache Song Weihong on the right." Xia Yu condensed his eyes, then recovered calm, smiled and said to the person beside him, "Thank you!" "You''re welcome!" The man said with a smile. Xia Yu nodded, then continued to look at Qian Wenchao and the three of them, with thoughts in his eyes. At this moment, Xia Yu saw Ambassador Qian Wenchao''s eyes quickly swept around the venue. After seeing Xia Yu, he was obviously taken aback, and then nodded at Xia Yu, showing a friendly smile. Xia Yu was taken aback, smiled and nodded in response. Then, the three of Qian Wenchao were led away by a special person. Looking at his back, Xia Yu thought. "It looks like Ambassador Qian clearly recognizes me. It stands to reason that he shouldn''t pay attention to me in such a short period of time. It seems that I am on China''s focus list, ha ha." Xia Yu thought of a possibility and said in secret. However, it is very possible to be on China''s focus list. After all, he can now be said to be the helm of Xiangjiang and even the largest paper media group in Southeast Asia. He has a strong ability to manipulate public opinion and knows the importance of propaganda. How not to focus on him? Thinking of the key point, Xia Yu didn''t panic. Instead, he showed a smile. He was on China''s focus list. For him, the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages. Overall, this is a good thing! "It is estimated that after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, someone will come to me." Just after thinking about it, the ceremony was about to begin. Xia Yu didn''t think too much, and walked out with the crowd and came to the venue. Xia Yu quietly watched the ceremony from below, from the speech of the President of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association to the sending of congratulations and blessings from the Mayor of London Jones Jason to the Chinese Ambassador to the UK Qian Wenchao, and then the other specific procedures. Xia Yu discovered that in addition to a president of the Chinese Entrepreneur Association, there is also an honorary president Wu Huachang, and Wu Hongyi is one of the directors of the association, and is the youngest of all the directors. After the ceremony was over, there was a social reception. After a drink, Jones Jason took the lead to leave. And Xia Yu was accompanied by Wu Hongyi, shuttled through the reception, let him be the middleman, and introduced Xia Yu to meet other people. At this moment, from the corner of Xia Yu''s eyes, he noticed Ambassador Qian walking straight towards him. He immediately stopped and was ready to respond. Sure enough, Ambassador Qian came to him. Qian Wenchao raised his glass to Xia Yu very familiarly and said, "Mr. Xia, I am very glad to meet you. I am China¡¯s Ambassador to the UK Qian Wenchao. I met him for the first time. with pleasure!" Xia Yu quickly appeared flattered and replied: "Hello, Ambassador Qian, I should be honored." "Haha!" "They are all descendants of Yan and Huang, let''s not be so polite, come and toast to our fate!" Qian Wenchao smiled heartily, and naturally got closer to Xia Yu, raising his wine glass and said. "Cheers!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and drank the wine in one go after clinking the glasses. "readily!" Qian Wenchao finished the same mouthful, and smiled happily after seeing Xia Yu''s empty cup. "Mr. Xia, I wonder if this one is?" Looking at Li Qian beside Xia Yu, Qian Wenchao asked, still showing a puzzled expression. Xia Yu smiled secretly in his heart. Now that he has been investigated, he does not believe that Qian Wenchao does not know the identity of Li Qian. Now he pretends not to know him. It is probably because he wants to find a topic to continue to get closer. This is a very common method in the social field. . "This is my girlfriend Li Qian, Qian Qian, hello to Ambassador Qian." Xia Yu introduced, and gently reminded Li Qian. "Hello, Ambassador Qian, this is Li Qian." Li Qian was very obedient, the lady said, and then stood by Xia Yu and kept a dignified smile. "Lang, talented and female, they are a natural match, Mr. Xia, congratulations!" As expected, Qian Wenchao held Xia Yu and Li Qian without any pretensions. Although Xia Yu guessed it, when Qian Wenchao really did it, he was still happy, which proved that China really paid attention to him. The free chat between Xia Yu and Qian Wenchao naturally attracted most people''s attention. After all, Qian Wenchao''s status is too special. It can be said that in the entire venue, his identity is not the highest. Over. It¡¯s such a heavyweight figure, and now he is talking and laughing with Xia Yu on this occasion. It is impossible to be unobtrusive. Many people look at Xia Yu deeply and want to His appearance is in mind, and more people have begun to inquire about Xia Yu''s sacredness. In the crowd, there was a special person. After seeing Xia Yu and Li Qian, his face became cold, his fists clenched, and he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "It turned out to be this pair of dogs and men. I have been looking for them for so long, but I didn''t expect to see them here." "Moreover, it seems to have a close relationship with Wu Hongyi." Seeing that Wu Hongyi beside Xia Yu could easily intervene in his communication with Qian Wenchao, this man frowned. "Humph!" After a cold snort, he returned to his natural expression and asked the person next to him: "What is the identity of the person talking to Ambassador Qian?" "San Shao, that person is Xia Yu, this is his business card, look at..." The person being questioned said, took out Xia Yu''s business card and handed it to him. After seeing the series of names of Xia Yu, his brows couldn''t help but frowned, and then he said to the man: "So, give me this business card in trouble, okay?" "Yes, you can, Third Young Master, take it if you need it, it''s useless if I keep it." The man responded quickly. "Well, thank you!" Chapter 268: Shadow creep The man named San Shao is no one else, but Wu Honglin, the third son of the Wu family and Wu Hongyi''s cousin. It was him who was cleaned up by Xia Yu in his restaurant in Southampton five days ago. After Xia Yu and the others left, he also mobilized contacts to find Xia Yu. Unfortunately, when he found the hotel where Xia Yu was staying, he was completely empty. Xia Yu and others had already flown to Budapest, Hungary. For this reason, Wu Honglin, who lost face in front of his friends, was furious and smashed a lot of things. In addition, this matter was somehow known by his father Wu Huachang and grandfather Wu Chengde. Although they received concern, they also learned lessons. Wu Honglin felt uncomfortable. I thought that this crime was going to be in vain, but I didn''t expect to see Xia Yu and others again at the cocktail party established by the Chinatown Chinese Business Association in London, which made Wu Honglin overjoyed after a few weathers. If he finally found someone, he could find a chance to retaliate, and this time he would never let Xia Yu disappear under his nose. Next, Wu Honglin quietly retreated to the inconspicuous crowd, while inquiring all news about Xia Yu. Many businessmen saw Xia Yu¡¯s tour of Chinatown accompanied by Wu Hongyi before. Just now Xia Yu issued a lot of business cards. Therefore, many people knew him in the entire venue. Under Wu Honglin¡¯s inquiry, More and more news about Xia Yu was learned by Wu Honglin. Wu Honglin did not show any strangeness. After understanding the situation, his eyes were full of haze, and his hatred for Xia Yu became even stronger. "I said why the second child suddenly changed his attitude and actively participated in commercial affairs. It should be influenced by this Xia Yu, **** shit!" Wu Honglin cursed bitterly in his heart. Outsiders thought that Wu Hongyi had fallen, but as Wu Hongyi¡¯s cousin, Wu Honglin never relaxed at all. He knew about Wu Hongyi¡¯s ability. He had never beaten Wu Hongyi since he was a child. He was beaten by him once. It was not until the unexpected death of Wu Hongyi''s parents later that Wu Hongyi''s temperament changed drastically and his performance became more and more ordinary, and Wu Honglin slowly emerged. But after all, he was suppressed by Wu Hongyi since he was a child, and Wu Honglin has a shadow in his heart. He did not dare to underestimate Wu Hongyi. Before his grandfather passed away, he did not dare to relax at all. He still regarded Wu Hongyi as a competitor, and always suppressed and excluded Wu Hongyi in secret. , Let him not intervene in family affairs as much as possible, and pray that he will remain silent. Originally, after so many years, Wu Honglin was a little slack. I didn''t expect to learn that Wu Hongyi had intervened in the affairs of his Phoenix Building some time ago, and he would no longer be the shopkeeper. That''s not the case. Wu Hongyi is also actively expanding his contacts. It seems that the energy he has accumulated over the years is exploding at this moment. He leaves early and returns late every day, working late, and he is very concerned about the affairs of the Chinatown Chinese Business Association in London. Just like now, it seems that because there is a restaurant in Chinatown, and through the Wu family''s contacts, he was actually awarded a seat of the board of directors of the Chinese Business Association. When his father Wu Huachang told Wu Honglin the news, Wu Honglin was shocked. The vigilance in the heart instantly reached the extreme. He has never been able to figure out why Wu Hongyi has changed so much. Now after inquiring about it, he has a guess that Wu Hongyi has changed since Xia Yu appeared, so he must have been affected by Xia Yu. Impact. I have to say that Wu Honglin really has a good brain, so he guessed the truth so quickly. But when this speculation appeared in his heart, Wu Honglin''s hatred for Xia Yu became stronger. The matter of hitting him and sweeping his face has not yet been resolved. I didn''t expect that Xia Yu would even participate in the competition between him and Wu Hongyi, causing him great trouble. This matter is absolutely endless! Taking a deep look at Xia Yu again, Wu Honglin quietly left the reception site. He wanted to send someone to investigate Xia Yu''s origins and then find a way to deal with it. Xia Yu seemed to feel a strange gaze. Xia Yu scanned the surroundings, and finally looked in the direction of the door. He happened to see a figure disappearing. The figure seemed a bit familiar. Xia Yu frowned, but couldn''t remember. Who is it? "Mr. Xia, what''s the matter?" Xia Yu''s performance caught Qian Wenchao''s attention, and he asked concerned. Xia Yu dispelled the thoughts in his mind and smiled at Qian Wenchao and said, "It''s okay, but I accidentally thought of something. Let''s continue." ... Wu Honglin left the reception, got into his car immediately, and said to Liu Yuesong who was waiting in the car: "Find a way to help me investigate this person and find out the relationship between him and Wu Hongyi. The message of the beginning." With that, Wu Honglin took out Xia Yu''s business card and handed it to him, and then told Liu Yuesong all the news he had learned about Xia Yu from the reception. "Okay, Master, I''ll do it right away." Liu Yuesong said immediately. With a keen mind, he thought of a question and immediately asked: "Master, this Xia Yu is from Xiangjiang. Since I can talk to Ambassador Qian on an equal footing, I must have a high level of strength and status. Do we want to understand him? In the case of Xiangjiang, it can be better dealt with." Although Wu Honglin did not say what Xia Yu was doing, he knew that Wu Honglin¡¯s temperament was definitely not Wu Honglin¡¯s friend, and he also knew Wu Honglin¡¯s attitude towards Wu Hongyi. Since Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi were involved, this matter It must be taken seriously, so he must do his best to solve Wu Honglin''s problems. Wu Honglin nodded expressionlessly and said: "You are right, but we are very new to Xiangjiang. The plan to enter Xiangjiang has just been proposed. There is no one to investigate. I will handle this personally." "Ok!" Hearing that Wu Honglin wanted to mobilize contacts to investigate in person Liu Yuesong''s heart trembled, and the importance of Wu Hongyi''s account was increased a bit. After returning to his residence, Liu Yuesong immediately took action. And Wu Honglin didn''t waste any time, turned to the phone book, looking for the number. After a while, his fingers stopped on a line of phone numbers, and Wu Honglin''s eyes flashed with joy and murmured: "Found it." Without pause, Wu Honglin immediately dialed the phone number. While waiting for the international long-distance connection, his heart surged with anticipation. "The Jardine Consortium is the No. 1 consortium in Hong Kong. Charles, as the second heir to the Keswick family, is now involved in the family business. I must be able to give me detailed information." Charles was a friend of Wu Honglin''s acquaintance a year ago. After Wu Honglin''s deliberate friendship, the two also had a certain friendship. Although the Keswick family is much stronger than the Wu family, after all, the main influence of the Keswick family lies in Xiangjiang. In London, the strength of the Keswick family is not as strong as the Wu family who has been deeply cultivated for 150 years, and Charles is only The second heir to the younger generation of the Keswick family, with the deliberate friendship of Wu Honglin, who can be said to be the first heir to Wu Jiaming, the friendship will naturally be formed. While Wu Honglin was expecting, the call was finally connected. "Hello, who?" Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Wu Honglin smiled, raised the volume, and said enthusiastically: "Dear Charles, I am your old friend Wu Honglin..." Chapter 269: Invest in Rong Yip The lunch at noon was provided by the London Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association. All guests enjoyed a delicious lunch. After lunch, the process of establishing the Chinese Business Association is completed, and then you can go back to each house and find each mother. When Xia Yu followed Wu Hongyi to the Phoenix Building, Ye Huanrong went to the Phoenix Building on his back foot. The purpose was obvious, to find Wu Hongyi for something. "Master Wu, I''m going to disturb you." Ye Huanrong smiled heartily, and then nodded to Xia Yu to say hello: "Mr. Xia, good afternoon!" "Hello Boss Ye!" Xia Yu responded with a smile. "Boss Ye, I wonder if you are here this time?" After everyone sat down, Wu Hongyi asked with a smile, raising his brows to look at Ye Huanrong, waiting for him to explain his intention. "Young Master Wu, I have something to ask for this time. As my career advancement stepped a little bit, there was a problem with turnover. I needed funds urgently and wanted to borrow some money through Huasheng Bank." After a glance at Xia Yu, Ye Huanrong did not evade, sighed and explained his intention. Wu Hongyi nodded clearly, did not rush to agree, but thought about it. Ye Huanrong¡¯s Rongye business has indeed developed rapidly during this period. A large amount of money has been invested in the construction of storage and trading centers. Although these hardware is the foundation of his Rongye business, it is really difficult to put huge funds on it. turnover. Presumably, Ye Huanrong is really anxious, otherwise he would not skip the formal procedures, but would like to take a shortcut through him. It is estimated that he can''t wait for the time of the formal procedures. Moreover, it is indeed very difficult for Chinese businessmen to obtain bank loans in the UK, while Chinese banks are small and small, and it is also difficult to apply for loans. It is not wrong for Ye Huanrong to approach Wu Hongyi, because although Wu Hongyi was not interested in Wu''s career before, in addition to his Phoenix Building, there is a company in Wu''s that he can most influence, and that is Huasheng Bank. This bank, named after his father Wu Huasheng, was built by his father himself. Wu Hongyi¡¯s father, Wu Huasheng, is indeed a business genius. Although Huasheng Bank has only been established for ten years, its development has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Up to now, it has 14 branches throughout the UK. Not only does Huashang like to do business with Huasheng Bank , Even the British accepted the Huasheng Bank, which pays great attention to integrity. Although almost all of the equity of Huasheng Bank is in the hands of the Wu family, currently only 2% of the shares belong to him, but it was established by his father himself. The president who manages the bank is also his father¡¯s former classmate and Right-hand man, Wu Hongyi can''t be exaggerated to call his uncle, so as long as Wu Hongyi speaks, Rongyexing''s money can be put down in minutes. Wu Hongyi asked, "Boss Ye, I don''t know how much money you need?" "It only takes half a million pounds. After these two months, I will be able to relax." Seeing Wu Hongyi didn''t mean to refuse, Ye Huanrong was overjoyed and said quickly. After hearing the amount, Wu Hongyi weighed the specific assets of Rongye Hong in his heart. He nodded and said: "I can be a middleman, but I don''t dare to pack the ticket for the details." "Then thank Master Wu." Ye Huanrong said happily, holding up his teacup, and thanking Wu Hongyi for offering a cup of tea instead of wine. Although Wu Hongyi had no guarantee, in Ye Huanrong''s view, this should be done. I believe Wu Hongyi''s face is still useful, but he only came after inquiring about it. As expected by Ye Huanrong, after Wu Hongyi greeted him, Ye Huanrong took out the loan that afternoon, and he was finally relieved that the 500,000 pounds of funds were all accounted for. To express his gratitude, Ye Huanrong insisted on inviting Wu Hongyi for dinner and invited Xia Yu together. But Xia Yu went with Wu Hongyi. Between the coveted and intertwined, the topic unknowingly came to Rong Yeh. "Boss Ye, you have solved the funding problem, and your Rongyexing will continue to advance. After achieving the largest one in Birmingham, the throne of the largest Chinese food supermarket and wholesale center in the UK must be yours." Xia Yu said with a smile, his tone was very firm. Wu Hongyi raised his brows. He had known him for so many days. It was the first time he heard Xia Yu''s evaluation of a person so high and his tone so firm. He glanced at the smiling Xia Yu glanced at it and wondered what Xia Yu thought. Ye Huanrong was flattered by such a high evaluation, and he quickly waved his hand humbly and said: "Mr. Xia looks at me high, I can''t take such a high evaluation, I don''t have this skill." Although it was very unexpected, Ye Huanrong was very happy in his heart. No one could help but be happy that the career he was proud of and worked for was given such a high evaluation by others. However, Ye Huanrong was not dizzy. Although he achieved the number one position in the same field in Birmingham, in the whole of the United Kingdom, it is good that his Rongyehang can barely squeeze into the top 10. Look at the heroes of the world. Although he had set the ambitious goal of becoming Britain''s No. 1 from the moment he was planning to rush out of Birmingham, that goal is long-term. What he wants to do most now is to gain a foothold in London. Now I suddenly heard that Xia Yu thought he could be the number one in the UK. Although he was happy, he quickly recovered his calm thinking of the status quo. He hasn''t forgotten that now his capital chain is strained. This is just out of Birmingham. The entire United Kingdom is so big. He wants to develop to the first place in the UK. Even if it is possible, he still doesn''t know how long it will be. Month! Thinking of this, Ye Huanrong said helplessly: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wu, the most important thing in our business is high capital turnover, but storage and trading centers are fundamental. Without large funds, I can¡¯t even think about it. It¡¯s a blessing to be able to set a flag in London." "If you don''t believe me, ask Young Master Wu, there are many more powerful companies in the same field than my Rongyehang. I am a second-rate supplier at best." With that, Ye Huanrong looked at Wu Hongyi. "Why Boss Ye should be scornful of himself? In my opinion, Rongyexing has the greatest potential." Wu Hongyi said with a smile. However, he also acquiesced to what Ye Huanrong said, otherwise he would not only mention that Rongyehang has the greatest potential. The great potential means that there are still many in Rongyehang waiting for it to surpass. "Boss Ye, why don''t you consider financing? After financing, you will naturally have money to compete for the market. In the future, it will not be the largest in the UK. It is very possible to be the largest in Europe." Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, pretending to ask casually. Hearing the familiar word financing, Wu Hongyi narrowed his eyes and glanced calmly at Xia Yu, who was smiling at Ye Huanrong. He had a guess in his heart, but whether he would continue to look down as he had guessed. The largest in Europe? What kind of prince will Xiangning? You ask if Ye Huanrong has any seeds, of course he has them, but this is too unrealistic, so he just dared to think about it. There was a glimmer of longing in Ye Huanrong¡¯s eyes, then he calmed down, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xia, of course I understand the principle of win-win cooperation. Financing is not unimaginable. It is just that there are many companies stronger than Rongyehang, even if I want to raise funds. No one wants to invest. It''s hard to get a loan, so how about financing." "Oh? So Mr. Ye thought about financing before?" Xia Yu grasped this topic and continued to ask in depth. At this time, not only Wu Hongyi, but also Ye Huanrong also heard that something was wrong. He glanced at Xia Yu, his mind changed, and said truthfully: "I did think about it, but unfortunately no one likes it." After coming to the UK for so many years, Ye Huanrong¡¯s concept has long changed. He knows that even if he is a grassroots person, the upper limit will not be high even if he works hard, so he is not against capital. Although financing will dilute a part of the equity, it will It can make the enterprise develop explosively. Although the shares are less, the actual assets are increased. Financing is to dilute the risk, but magnify the possibility of success. No one will definitely think that they will succeed, unless a rebirth like Xia Yu. So if Xia Yu wants to invest, he is of course willing to raise funds. As long as he holds the controlling rights, what''s the problem with releasing part of the equity? Sure enough, Xia Yu finally said the real intention: "Haha, Boss Ye, that is because other people have no idea about gold inlaid jade. I just came from Xiangjiang and I have not yet determined which area to invest in. I am very optimistic about this market. , I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m lucky enough to get on your big ship." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Ye Huanrong with bright eyes. The guess came true, Ye Huanrong was happy, but at the same time he was a little hesitant, not knowing Xia Yu''s true strength. But he didn''t know it didn''t matter, someone helped him. Wu Hongyi said with a smile: "Boss Ye, I didn¡¯t expect Xia Yu to be so optimistic about you. Xia Yu is a big money owner, with assets of over 100 million pounds. He owns the largest paper media company in Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia. He also has a securities company that manages With assets of seventy to eighty million pounds, you can definitely get money." Some of these things were told by Xia Yu, and some were understood by him. After learning about Xia Yu, Wu Hongyi was shocked for a long time. After being shocked, he sincerely admired Xia Yu. He believed that he was absolutely inferior to Xia Yu. Xia Yu started from scratch and built such a large career in a short period of time. He had to say a word. Ye Huanrong looked at the smiling Xia Yu suddenly, his eyes rounded, then looked at Wu Hongyi, he couldn''t help swallowing, suppressing the shock in his heart. He really didn''t expect Xia Yu, who was talking to him, to be so powerful! However, after the shock, his mind became active. It seems that Xia Yu really intends to invest in him, not just to say it simply. His brain turned wildly, and he began to think seriously. Although I borrowed 500 thousand pounds from Huasheng Bank, it was only a rescue, and I still have to pay it back This will slow down the development of Rongye Hong. If he wants to let Rongye Hong continue to develop, he must have a large amount of funds. Either he develops slowly and accumulates funds little by little, or he can only borrow or finance. It is just that there are more loans and he makes a big profit every year. Part of it must be handed over to the bank, in case of risk, absolutely unlucky! Moreover, shopping malls are like battlefields, and markets are like cities. It depends on who grabs them quickly and takes up more. He is a grass-roots man. If he wants to become king, he must have someone''s support! Although Xia Yu has the strength, he just arrived in the UK, even if he became a shareholder of Rongye Hong, he could not take away his business. Rich, low risk, and a close relationship with Wu Hongyi, all this seems to be good. If you accept Xia Yu''s investment, the possibility of reaching the top in the UK in the same field will increase. Even as Xia Yu said, it is not impossible to look to Europe. Thinking of this, Ye Huanrong''s heart was fierce. He looked at Wu Hongyi, who was holding his chest, and then at Xia Yu, who looked at him with a smile. Finally, he nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your attention. I don''t know what the specific regulations of this financing are? " Hearing Ye Huanrong''s consent, Xia Yu smiled and agreed with Ye Huanrong to talk in detail the next day, and Ye Huanrong naturally agreed. Why do you want to postpone it until tomorrow? First, because the occasion tonight is not suitable, neither party has prepared. The second is because after tonight, Xia Yu has the money to invest in Rongyehang. Looking at his watch, Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he said inwardly: "Calculating the jet lag, the match between Argentina and Peru should begin..." Chapter 270: Wu Chengdes happiness and disappointment When Xia Yu returned in the evening, the match between Argentina and Peru came to an end, and the score was exactly the same as in the previous life. It was fixed at 6:0! Seeing this score, the smile on Xia Yu''s face could not be concealed, he had made a fortune! He roughly counted that in this game alone, after deducting the betting tax, more than 50 million pounds still belonged to him! Xia Yu didn''t calculate the exact amount, and he had to wait until all the money was credited to his account, and then he could check the statistics. And more than that, this game is like a bomb dropped in deep water, and the impact is far-reaching. Argentina bucked the trend and squeezed out Brazil, successfully qualifying for the first place in the group, and will compete with the Netherlands for the Hercules Cup. Argentina''s winning odds will be greatly reduced, but it has nothing to do with Xia Yu, because he had a very early winning odds in Argentina. Bet on high. As long as Argentina once again defeated the Netherlands in 4 days and raised the Hercules Cup, Xia Yu will definitely make a lot more money than he does now! I established a network during the day and negotiated a business in the evening. I picked up a leak and made a fortune from gambling. Good things continued throughout the day. Xia Yu was in a good mood. The consequence was that he was sleeping. , Xia Yu tossed Li Qian a few times, and finally Li Qian was overwhelmed. Xia Yu was still holding her to sleep. On this day, Xia Yu was in a good mood, but some people were in a bad mood. For example, Wu Honglin, the third son of the Wu family. After making a call to Charles, the second-in-line heir to the Keswick family of Jardine, that afternoon, Charles faxed the information Wu Honglin needed to Wu Honglin. These materials include all the information that Jardine can know about Xia Yu, as well as brief information about Yan Shining, Hou Sheng, and Li Qian. As for Li Wuming, there is basically no information. After all, Li Wuming appeared. The time is too short. Just after returning to Xiangjiang, I followed Xia Yu to the UK. It was impossible for the Jardine consortium to know this. After seeing these materials, Wu Honglin''s horror couldn''t be described in words. If he didn''t believe that Charles would not lie to him, he would definitely not believe that there was someone as amazing and beautiful as Xia Yu. He did not expect that the person who was in conflict with him was a tycoon-level figure in Xiangjiang. If he had known it earlier, he would definitely find ways to make friends with Xia Yu. You must know that he was thinking of expanding business in Xiangjiang. With the help of the tycoon-level figure of Xiangjiang, his business will definitely go smoothly, and he will definitely give Grandpa a high look. However, such a heavyweight figure went so close to Wu Hongyi, and he had a conflict with him, and it was impossible to be friends! Moreover, the business development plan that he has already written but has not yet implemented is also cast a shadow. With Xia Yu in Xiangjiang, there may be changes in the future, which is very detrimental to him! Thinking of this, Wu Honglin clenched his fists unconsciously, his cheeks seemed to be a little hot, and his eyes were full of haze. Xia Yu''s information was not only placed on Wu Honglin''s desktop. Similarly, Wu Chengde, the head of the Wu family, also saw the information presented by the butler Afu. In the Wu family compound, Wu Chengde silently read the information in his hand. After a long time, he exclaimed: "Business wizard, business wizard!" "Yeah, sir, if it weren''t for the repeated affirmation of others, I would not believe that there are people like this who can do what others can''t do in a short time. If there is no accident, Xiangjiang will have a real dragon!" Butler Ah Fu also sighed with approval. Wu Chengde nodded and agreed with the assessment of the butler Afu. He thought of more and said to himself: "If you are such a person, it is really possible to affect Hony. Working with such a person will benefit your life!" As he said, Wu Chengde''s face eased, and there was a smile unconsciously. Once the most promising grandson is now getting better again and has made a very valuable friend, Wu Chengde is happy from the heart. The information that the butler Ah Fu just gave was not only from the Xiangjiang River, but also from the Wu family, especially some information after Xia Yu came to London, such as China¡¯s ambassador to the United Kingdom Qian Wenchao, in the China Business Association At the established cocktail party, there was a record of the long chat with Xia Yu. Although only a few lines of words, what this reveals is not simple. After all, behind Qian Wenchao is the big country, the motherland supported by nuclear weapons. It is absolutely impossible for Qian Wenchao to do anything meaningless. His actions show that the motherland of the East attaches great importance to Xia Yu. There are many things to ponder about. But no matter how you think about it, one thing is for sure, befriending Xia Yu, there are definitely many benefits. Xia Yu became a friend of Wu Hongyi, so Xia Yu was also a friend of the Wu family. One more powerful friend is always a good thing for the Wu family. No wonder Wu Chengde is in a good mood. However, Wu Chengde''s mood didn''t last long, and the butler Ah Fu said again: "Master, you asked me to check about the Three Young Masters. I also found the news." Wu Chengde smiled slowly, looked at Ah Fu, the housekeeper whose expression was a bit wrong, and said with a blank expression, "Let''s talk!" "Master, I sent someone to find out that the group of people who clashed with the three young masters was Xia Yu. The three young masters molested Xia Yu''s girlfriend Li Qian, and it was Xia Yu who slapped the three young masters. It was Xia Yu''s bodyguard Li Wuming who killed the other bodyguards." Butler Ah Fu''s head dropped slightly, reporting truthfully. Wu Chengde frowned and looked at Ah Fu, the housekeeper standing respectfully. After regaining his gaze, he took the lead crutch and slammed it heavily on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Improper thing!" As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison! Just after reading Xia Yu''s information, Wu Chengde was happy that his second grandson Wu Hongyi had made good friends. Who knew that the third grandson was in conflict with Xia Yu. Wu Hongyi and Wu Honglin are both his grandsons Why is the gap so big! Wu Chengde was not angry that Wu Honglin and Xia Yu had a conflict. After all, this conflict seemed to him to be a trivial matter. Wu Honglin offended Xia Yu''s girlfriend, but Wu Honglin was also beaten by Xia Yu. It can be settled, and neither side needs to be held accountable. . What he is angry is that from this incident, the gap between Wu Hongyi and Wu Honglin is reflected. He is an angry child and indisputable! On the first day when Xia Yu became Wu Hongyi''s neighbor, Wu Hongyi became friends with him, and Xia Yu went to Wu Honglin''s restaurant for the first time, but became an enemy because of Wu Honglin''s personal reasons. What is revealed here is the difference between two people''s behavior. Even from the perspective of metaphysics, Wu Hongyi''s luck is better than Wu Honglin''s if it is attributed to luck! Therefore, Wu Chengde was dissatisfied with his third grandson Wu Honglin, but now he is even more disappointed. "Master, what do you mean?" The butler Afu asked. "Hong Lin''s affairs don''t need to be taken care of, and he should have a long memory, such an adult, I don''t know how to be prudent!" "That''s it, there is no need to contact Xia Yu, I believe Hony will handle it." In the end, Wu Chengde''s expression was relieved a lot, but fortunately, his second grandson Wu Hongyi finally woke up. God is still eye-opening, his Wu family is still a successor! As for the master''s partiality towards Wu Hongyi, Ah Fu, the housekeeper, has long been surprised. As for the third young master, Wu Honglin, he has nothing to comment on. "Ok!" The butler Afu responded. Chapter 271: 30% of shares But what Wu Chengde didn''t expect was that he thought that Wu Honglin and Xia Yu had settled their grievances, but he didn''t expect Wu Honglin to be kind. At a secret residence of Wu Honglin, Liu Yuesong rushed back happily and reported the investigation to Wu Honglin. "Master, I have checked everything, please see!" Liu Yuesong bowed slightly and said respectfully. Wu Honglin took the investigation report in Liu Yuesong''s hands and quickly scanned it. "Huh, it''s really him! He''s the second neighbor, **** it!" The investigation report was just over one page, and there was not much in-depth information. Wu Honglin finished reading it quickly. He slapped the investigation report heavily on the table and hummed angrily, his face was very gloomy. Liu Yuesong, with his head down, was already familiar with it. Wu Honglin was able to conceal his emotions in front of outsiders, but after returning home, Wu Honglin would remove his mask. After the investigation report was in his hands, he knew that Wu Honglin was right. Will be angry. Liu Yuesong, who is very capable of observing words and watching performance, saw that Wu Honglin''s anger was almost vented, he whispered: "Master, this Xia Yu is too nosy, causing you such a big trouble, and his strength is so strong, if you let it go, Wu Hongyi has strong foreign aid, which will be a great disadvantage to you." "You don''t need to say that I know it!" Wu Honglin, who was in a bad mood, snorted displeasedly, clenching his fists unknowingly. "Yes, master wise!" It was affected, but Liu Yuesong didn''t have any displeasure, and he quickly flattered respectfully. He is the son of the Wu family. From his grandfather, he was the servant of the Wu family. He followed the Wu family across the ocean from China to England. He was assigned to Wu Honglin since he was a child, and he grew up with Wu Honglin. He knew exactly what Wu Honglin''s character was. Although he was often angry, he was used to it. As Wu Honglin''s servant, Liu Yuesong can live a good life only if Wu Honglin lives well. His destiny has been tied to Wu Honglin. Because of this, he will spare no effort to help Wu Hongyi solve problems, all enemies blocking Wu Honglin are his enemies. "Master, what should we do?" Liu Yuesong asked quietly. "Boom...boom...boom..." Wu Honglin frowned, tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and began to ponder. He was so old that he had not been slapped in the face, even his father had never slapped him like that, but he was hit by Xia Yu unexpectedly. He was still beaten in front of his friends on his own territory. His face was lost, he dared not meet people at all these days, and his friends consciously avoided him. How does this make him not hate Xia Yu? He wished to catch Xia Yu, beat him fiercely, and then severely humiliated Li Qian in front of him, making Xia Yu regret offending him. Isn''t he never done this kind of thing! Liu Yuesong didn''t know how many tails he had received! Of course, he still knows that business matters. The most serious problem facing now is that Wu Hongyi is about to rise, and it is Xia Yu that makes Wu Hongyi change! He must let Wu Hongyi not threaten him, and then survive until his grandfather passes away and the head of the family falls to his father. By then, Wu Hongyi will not be able to turn the sky over. But before his grandfather Wu Chengde passed away, many of his methods could not be used against Wu Hongyi, otherwise the family rules would be broken, and he would not be the future head of the family. In this way, it is very difficult to make Wu Hongyi lose the threat! What''s more, the position of Patriarch of the Wu family not only requires the successor to have the ability to maintain success, but more importantly, the ability to develop. If this is not the case, with his father''s ability, isn''t the position of Patriarch already firmly secured? Hasn''t the position of his first in line heir already secured? In order to show his pioneering ability, Wu Honglin has also consciously expanded the company he manages in recent years, and now he plans to make his business go to Xiangjiang. It is a pity that his development plan has not yet been implemented. Wu Hongyi has made friends with a Xiangjiang tycoon. If he wants to develop a career, with a strong foreign aid like Xia Yu, he can definitely compare him easily. This is absolutely unacceptable to him! Therefore, for Xia Yu, in addition to hatred, there is also a great threat. Xia Yu has unknowingly participated in the competition between him and Wu Hongyi, and has become a huge obstacle blocking him. And more than that, if his rivalry with Wu Hongyi is known to Xia Yu, based on his relationship with Xia Yu, or at Wu Hongyi¡¯s request, Xia Yu may suppress him, and his career will even be in Xiangjiang. Once it is done, it is very likely to fall under Xia Yu''s deliberate targeting. This kind of possible threat, like a throat, he had to consider. After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Honglin''s brows were still frowning, and he didn''t expect how to solve these difficult problems. "Master, didn''t you say that Charles Keswick of Jardines happened to be back in London? And he was very hostile to Xia Yu. You might as well make plans after meeting him? Maybe you can cooperate with him? " Liu Yuesong''s eyes rolled a few times, and then he reminded in a low voice. Wu Honglin''s hand knocking on the table paused for a while. He stretched his brows and nodded silently, "It''s one way. He will be in London tomorrow morning on his plane tonight. It seems that I have to talk to him." ... Let¡¯s say that the next morning, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi followed Ye Huanrong to Birmingham to learn about his Rongye business on the spot, and then discuss financing. After understanding the actual situation on the spot, Xia Yu has more confidence in Rongyehang. Even if he knows from the memory of his previous life that Rongyehang will become the number one company in the UK in the future, Ye Huanrong has also taken this to be on the British rich list . But this kind of memory with only one or two pieces of information is naturally inferior to the steadiness after on-site inspection. With Xia Yu''s vision, he was completely relieved after understanding the actual situation of Wanrong Yehang and Ye Huanrong''s management model and business model. Now that there are no doubts, the next step is to negotiate the price. Because of Wu Hongyi''s presence, Xia Yu gave face and did not lower the price, and Ye Huanrong gave in under Xia Yu''s face. In the end, in a peaceful negotiation, both parties agreed to Rong Yip Hong¡¯s valuation of 5 million pounds. Xia Yu raised 2.2 million pounds and won 30% of Rong Yip Hong¡¯s shares and the remaining 70%. The shares in Ye Huanrong. After the financing, Rong Yeh was valued at 7.2 million pounds, Xia Yu¡¯s 30% shares were worth 2.16 million pounds, and Ye Huanrong¡¯s 70% shares were worth 5.04 million pounds. Xia Yu made a successful investment, and Ye Huanrong did not lose. This is a difference of tens of thousands of pounds, and Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care. At that time, when he calculated his 30% share, he should have paid more than two and one hundred thousand pounds. In order to show his grandeur, he directly rounded up and bid 2.2 million pounds. .com~ and the agreement also stated that the financing of 2.2 million pounds, 2 million pounds for the development of Rong Yiphang, and the remaining 200,000 pounds can be smuggled by Ye Huanrong. This is also the goodwill expressed by Xia Yu. Ye Huanrong''s heart. Soon, under the witness of the lawyer and Wu Hongyi, Xia Yu and Ye Huanrong signed the financing agreement and equity transfer agreement. At the moment of signing, whether it was Xia Yu, Ye Huanrong, or Wu Hongyi, all smiled. "Happy cooperation!" Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Ye Huanrong and smiled. "Happy cooperation!" Ye Huanrong also smiled and said, at this moment, he felt like a bird flying in the sky. As long as Xia Yu¡¯s 2.2 million pounds came in, plus the 500,000 pounds borrowed from Huasheng Bank, he had available funds. It is as much as 2.7 million pounds. Even if the 200,000 pounds he used for personal use are deducted, there will be 2.5 million pounds. He can say bluntly that there is absolutely no company in the same field that has so much capital from him, even the number one company now does not! With rich wealth and strong waist, this time, he wants to let Rong Yexing develop explosively! When Xia Yu was negotiating with Ye Huanrong, at London Heathrow International Airport, a passenger plane landed slowly. Not long after, tall white men with golden curly hair, black windbreakers and a suitcase walked out of the passage. . After Wu Honglin, who had been waiting outside, saw him, he smiled and greeted him. "Charles, my good friend, you have finally arrived!" Chapter 272: Galaxy Fund and TV Station After the successful shareholding, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi returned to London together. After returning, he immediately went to secretly check the various bank accounts and found that the money had been put in one after another, and the total amount had exceeded 10 million pounds. The rest must be these two. It will come in every day. With money in his pocket, Xia Yu waved his hand, and the 2.2 million pounds of funds were directly transferred to the company account written when he signed the contract with Ye Huanrong. After the transfer, he called and notified him immediately. Ye Huanrong didn''t expect Xia Yu to be so refreshing, and he was happy, but he also had an intuitive sense of Xia Yu''s strength. Two million two hundred thousand pounds were taken out and the strength was extraordinary. With such a partner, He can also forge ahead more confidently. Back home, Xia Yu dialed Wang Qi''s office. "Beep...beep..." After a few rings, the phone was connected. Xia Yu picked up the phone and heard Wang Qi''s respectful greeting. Xia Yu was not wordy, and went straight to the subject: "Wang Qi, how is the work I asked you to do?" "Boss, Galaxy Fund Management Co., Ltd. has been registered, and has done the most rigorous offshore processing. The British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda have registered three thousand shell companies. There is absolutely no problem with the company''s cross-shareholding!" Wang Qi reported on the phone respectfully and informed Xia Yu of the key data. After listening, Xia Yu smiled and praised: "Good job, very timely!" "Have the secret purchase plan been exposed?" "..." "...Okay, let''s do this first, call me if something happens." After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu sighed and sat on the chair, tapping his fingers on the table, feeling happy. The money for this gambling, Xia Yu would not be transferred to Jiuding Securities before he had his own bank. Otherwise, if he entered the accounts of Jiuding Securities, it would all be exposed to HSBC''s eyes. Nothing left. Such a large sum of funds will definitely arouse the attention of the entire HSBC Bank. There are many people and the news will inevitably leak, and then trouble will follow. So there must be a shell to put the funds, and let others guess what is the relationship between this shell and Xia Yu, and I don¡¯t know how strong this shell is. The more mysterious the better, the enemy is The less he dared to act rashly before checking it out clearly, Xia Yu was naturally safer. What''s more, to acquire Wharf, you must have a shell to rush into the battle. This time the opponent is the Jardine Consortium, and the deterrence of Jiuding Securities under the sun is definitely not enough. So in the later generations, the famous Galaxy Fund Management Company appeared in this world so quietly. Before registration, the positioning of the Galaxy Fund was determined, that is, the role of the predator and the robber. As we are about to enter the 1980s, the privatization frenzy of European state-owned enterprises that started in the UK will last for more than a decade. In addition, there were many large and small stock market disasters and financial disasters in the 1980s. In order to survive better, major multinational companies have gathered together to keep warm, and a global capital mergers and acquisitions frenzy will be set off. Naturally, Xia Yu can''t miss this kind of historical opportunity, so he must prepare early. Before the curtain of capital mergers and acquisitions is lifted, he will have his own shell to do this professionally. And considering that other people''s companies will not be acquired honestly, it is inevitable that they will do evil things by force, so you must pretend to be yourself. This is the beginning of the registration, and the registration of a large number of shell companies in the three offshore paradise at the same time. With so many companies cross-holding shares, Xia Yu is confident that even the FBI will find it difficult to find out. You should know that the general offshore processing of companies is only done by registering in an offshore paradise. For example, multinational commercial companies prefer to register in the British Virgin Islands. Banks and trusts prefer the Cayman Islands. As for insurance and funds, I prefer Bermuda. Now Xia Yu''s Galaxy Fund is registered for cross-holding in three places at the same time, Xia Yu can rest assured! The case of the Galaxy Fund came to an end for a while. Xia Yu opened the drawer again and took out a piece of information. This information is a detailed investigation report that Xia Yu entrusted to a research company to do after coming to London. It happened to be retrieved this afternoon. Yes, I haven''t had time to watch it yet. The subject of the survey involved a TV station that Xia Yu had been thinking about for a long time! Opened the kraft paper file bag, took out a pile of materials, and on the front it read "Li''s Voice Business Investigation Report" impressively! When he was in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was thinking about TV stations. The TV station is the core of his media landscape. Even if he has achieved hegemony in the field of magazines and newspapers, and with the engine of Jiuding News Agency, his influence on public opinion is already very strong, but lacks the central dispatch and turnover of the TV station, and the entire media system operates. not flexible. The best model of the media is the model of Murdoch¡¯s News Corp. to achieve full coverage of public opinion. The core of which is the TV station. In later generations, News Corporation controlled 40% of the TV stations in the United States; in Europe, there was Sky TV, which was based in the UK but covered the entire Europe; in India, there was EETV; even in China, hundreds of millions of people could watch News Corporation¡¯s Satellite TV station. Therefore, if Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Media Group wants to become bigger and stronger, at the very least, it must first acquire a TV station in the foundation of Xiangjiang, and then grab the lead before News Corporation, and find ways to acquire media and TV stations from all over the world. The status of global media supremacy. Among the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, it is impossible for UU Reading TVB to buy it. As Lijia slowly retreated behind the scenes, Shao Yifu was constantly increasing his shares in TVB, even the film industry he started from. Put it behind, so TVB will be the foundation of his future, Shao Yifu is absolutely impossible to sell to Xia Yu. As for another Jiayi TV station, there are many tycoons behind it, including He Zuozhi, the representative of the main house above the Ho family of the long-time gambling king, the Lin family of the Xiangjiang Bank family, and many other tycoons or giants. Xia Yu is also very difficult to acquire. More importantly, Jiayi TV Station is a pit. The Hong Kong government stipulates that it must show eight hours of educational programs every day. Even if Xia Yu comes from a later generation, he does not miss the ideas of educational programs, but he cannot always pay attention. So this regulation is destined to be a time bomb. When there is still a choice, how could Xia Yu choose Jiayi TV? Even if soon, Jiayi TV station will fall into bankruptcy, Xia Yu does not want it. As for the last Li¡¯s TV station, it¡¯s a good choice. Not only is it the oldest, it¡¯s now also in the hands of the British. Under the fierce battle between TVB and Jiayi, Li¡¯s TV station has become a bag, and life is very difficult. , It is a good time for acquisition. However, if you want to acquire Li¡¯s TV station, there is another problem, and that is his equity. Li¡¯s TV station is a subsidiary of the British Li¡¯s voice. Due to the time span and space span, it is very difficult to investigate clearly in Xiangjiang. . It is for this reason that this business investigation report appeared. After thinking about it, Xia Yu opened the investigation report and read it carefully. Chapter 273: Reis voice and conspiracy Li''s voice was established in London in 1920. In the early days, it used cable as a radio broadcast for some remote areas in the UK that could not receive radio atmospheric signals. In the 1950s, it began to run TV stations and TV rentals and sales. On March 22, 1949, the British Li''s voice company established a subsidiary in Hong Kong-Xiangjiang Li''s voice. In April 1957, Li''s voice was approved by the Hong Kong government to open cable TV and was granted a license. On May 29, 1957, Li''s voice established "Li''s Yingsheng" in Xiangjiang and officially launched its TV service. This is the first television station in Xiangjiang and the Far East. ... On April 6, 1973, the radio broadcasting service of Xiangjiang Li¡¯s Voice ceased, and the company changed its name to Xiangjiang Li¡¯s Television Co., Ltd... ... On July 23, 1958, Li''s voice was in India... On March 7, 1960, Li''s voice was in Malaysia... ... After reading it, Xia Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, sorting out the information and thoughts. The situation is not bad. The business survey report shows that the British company''s voice company is not in a good situation, not only in the difficult situation in the subsidiary of Xiangjiang, but also in Thailand and Malaysia and other places. There have been talks within the company that the bad business will be sold off. And Xiangjiang Li''s voice subsidiary is impressively in the sequence of non-performing assets for sale. Think about it, since the establishment of Jiayi TV in 1975, the life of Li''s TV has been difficult. At the end of 1975, it was stepped on by the recruits Jiayi TV. In 1976, it was directly sluggish for a year. TVB made great efforts in filming "Ten Assassins", "Big Man", "Ten Deceptions" and other unit dramas that defeated Jiayi, but she was still under pressure by TVB. This year, the Jiayi TV station, backed by many Chinese tycoons, has been on the offensive for gold and yuan, and Li''s TV has sunk again. The competition is so fierce, the operating pressure is too great, and it has been losing money. It is no wonder that the parent company wants to sell Li''s TV. No one took over, until the second fool of the Australian consortium thought that there was a bargain to pick up, and bought Li¡¯s TV, but found it was a pit, and finally sold Li¡¯s TV to East Asia. Qiu Degen of the bank. Now, London Li''s voice has wanted to sell, Xia Yu naturally wants to take over. The survey report shows that the voice of London Li¡¯s own 61% of the shares of Xiangjiang Li¡¯s TV station, and the remaining 39% of the shares are scattered in the hands of other small shareholders. As long as the 61% of the shares are taken, the remaining 39% of the shares are all Easy to handle. As for how to purchase, Xia Yu has also thought about it. He intends to ask Shen Bi to help HSBC in the acquisition. He has cooperated for several times. Xia Yu is very satisfied with HSBC''s work efficiency. Xia Yu raised his left hand, looked at his watch, and found that it was nine o''clock in the evening. The time in Hong Kong is about eight hours faster than in the UK, so it is now five o''clock in the morning in Hong Kong, and Shen Bi is still asleep. "Then come tomorrow, it''s getting late, and I will go to bed too." With the strength of HSBC, the acquisition is certainly not difficult when Li London¡¯s voice wants to sell Li¡¯s TV. As long as Xia Yu does not sting, it is not impossible to acquire all the shares in a few days. Xia Yu naturally does not care much. Wait one night. ... It was the same night, Xia Yu was busy with his own business, but he never thought that someone in another corner of London was discussing how to calculate him. In a quiet courtyard, Wu Honglin and Charles Keswick sat face to face, and Wu Honglin''s domestic servant Liu Yuesong stood respectfully behind Wu Honglin. "Kyle, what do you want Xia Yu''s information for?" A blond Charles Keswick lit a cigar, took a sip and exhaled a cigarette ring, and asked Wu Honglin that Kyle was Wu Honglin''s English name. Wu Honglin had a gloomy face. Because he needed Charles Keswick''s help and guidance, he did not hide it. He said truthfully: "He has a contradiction with me, and his involvement in our family affairs has threatened my status." Charles Keswick''s smoking action was taken, he looked at Wu Honglin in surprise, and said with some surprise: "I remember he has only left the UK for more than ten days, and his strength is not as good as your Wu family, so he can even intervene in your family. Thing?" Wu Honglin''s eyes were full of haze, and he snorted: "Who knew he would cause trouble so much!" "Then you want to deal with him?" Charles Keswick asked. Seeing Wu Honglin nodding his head, Charles Keswick showed a meaningful smile. He thought for a while and said, "Kyle, this is indeed a good opportunity." "If you are in Xiangjiang, you won''t find a good opportunity like now, let me tell you something." Hearing Charles'' words, Wu Honglin was shocked and looked straight at him. Then, Charles Keswick told what he knew about Xia Yu carefully, and added his own analysis. Among them, he also focused on the rumors about the Ma family and the "Oriental Daily", letting Wu Honglin know that Xia Yu still has a certain amount of force. If you want to deal with Xia Yu, you must guard against this. "Kyle, to be honest, this Xia Yu is a person who likes to make trouble very much. In Xiangjiang, all of us are very hostile to him, but because of the different fields of work, it is difficult to target him." "But it is undeniable that he is indeed a business genius. His Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company are definitely rare high-quality assets. The influence of media and finance is too strong. If it is in our hands, it will definitely be able to Play an unparalleled role." Charles Keswick said with emotion. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Wu Honglin''s mind was like a flash of lightning. He blurted out and asked: "Charles, do you think we can bring his company over?" "None of them are listed, how can..." Charles replied reflexively It was only halfway through that he realized what Wu Honglin wanted to express. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Honglin with a look of expectation in shock. "Suck¡­¡­" "let me see!" Confirming that Wu Honglin was not joking, Charles took a deep breath, and his brain quickly turned, thinking about the possibility and impact of this matter. To be honest, in Xiangjiang, when the children of their big families gathered together, they often talked about Xia Yu. No one had never coveted Xia Yu¡¯s enterprises, especially Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company. As for the other two companies, They even look down on it. There were even people who tried to get in touch with Xia Yu and wanted to buy a stake in his company, but Xia Yu gave him no face. Because there is no way to take Xia Yu with formal commercial methods, and it is not easy to play with Yin, Xia Yu always takes bodyguards when he goes out, and rarely goes out, it is difficult to find opportunities at all. The most important thing is that if Xia Yu had an accident in Xiangjiang, it would definitely arouse Huazi''s vigilance and strong reaction, so no one dared to fight Xia Yu''s idea. They talked about it at most. But now the situation is different. Xia Yu is not in the Xiangjiang where he is based, but only brought a few bodyguards to London, England. The influence of the Yiwu family and his Keswick family in London, it is still possible to clean up him. If he can get Jiuding Newspaper Company or Jiuding Securities Company in his hands, then he can definitely use this to attack his brother''s family''s first heir position. Thinking of this, Charles Keswick''s heart began to heat up. Chapter 274: Conspiracy struck "Kyle, if you really want to take over Xia Yu''s business, it is still very possible. This time is the best opportunity." "If you wait for him to return to Xiangjiang, there will be no way!" "I don''t know what specific thoughts you have?" The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was possible, Charles Keswick''s heart beat violently, he said in one breath, while looking at Wu Honglin, his own brain was also turning frantically. Hearing Charles Keswick¡¯s confirmation, Wu Honglin¡¯s heart was beating wildly, it was really possible! ! ! After Charles'' introduction just now, Wu Honglin also had a more intuitive impression of Xia Yu''s companies, saying that he was not jealous that it was absolutely false. If Xia Yu¡¯s business can be taken over, not only can he avenge the two slaps, but also weaken Wu Hongyi¡¯s threat, and most importantly, it can increase his strength and stabilize his position. Even if his grandfather finds out that he has taken it by accident, it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as the company does get in hand, it will increase the family¡¯s overall strength. Presumably his grandpa will open one eye and close one eye, maybe in order to eliminate potential. Threats to prevent Xia Yu from rising again to counterattack, and will help him eradicate the roots. If this is the case, then how can we seize Xia Yu''s business? Wu Hongyi also fell into deep thought. All of a sudden, the entire yard became quiet. Standing behind Wu Honglin, Liu Yuesong rolled his eyes, ready to make suggestions for Wu Hongyi. For a long time, Charles Keswick smiled and came up with a vicious way: "Kyle, I thought of a way, we can control him in our hands, and then force him to sign the equity transfer agreement." Wu Hongyi''s eyes stared, and he didn''t expect Charles to plan to do such a dark thing, but it was really possible to do so. But there are still some loopholes. He asked back: "Charles, even if he signs the equity transfer agreement, there will still be legal disputes." "A third-party lawyer, I can find it, it''s absolutely safe and reliable." Charles said lightly. Wu Hongyi smiled, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes and said: "Then let him disappear. There will be no evidence at that time. Even if there are waves, we can suppress it with our strength." "Yes!" Charles nodded in agreement. Speaking of this, Wu Hongyi and Charles looked at each other and smiled. "What about the specific implementation plan?" After laughing, Wu Honglin said again. Charles frowned and began to think. "Master, I thought of a way." At this time, Liu Yuesong, who was standing behind Wu Honglin, suddenly whispered. Wu Honglin raised his eyebrows, thinking that Liu Yuesong had always had a lot of ghost ideas over the years, and the results were very good, and he had solved a lot of troubles for him. He said with some expectation: "Tell me." "Ok!" "Master, we can do this..." As Liu Yuesong talked about it, Wu Honglin¡¯s eyes brightened and the smile on his face became brighter. Finally, when he heard that, he looked at Liu Yuesong who was smiling, pointed his finger at him, and said, "You kid, you have you Yeah, I can think of this method, but I like it, haha!" Hearing this kind of alternative praise, Liu Yuesong showed a humble smile. Charles on the side could only understand part of the words, but Liu Yuesong was also aroused by his curiosity. Now that he had finished speaking, he immediately said to Wu Honglin: "Kyle, what is the method? Tell me." "Charles, it''s like this..." Wu Honglin repeated it in English. Charles Keswick¡¯s eyes widened slowly, and finally he looked at Liu Yuesong, who was humble, with an unbelievable expression. He really did not expect that one of Wu Honglin¡¯s servants could even think of this way. Not to mention it''s too bold. But when you think about it carefully, the method is indeed very thorough. After that, the three people used this method as a template again to continue to discuss and improve, and then Wu Honglin and Charles discussed their division of labor. In the end, it was the issue of the distribution of benefits after the discussion was successful. The two decided one and half, the most fair. The plan is decided, then, it''s time to start decorating... ... Naturally, Xia Yu didn''t know the calculations of Wu Honglin and others. In the early morning of the next day, Xia Yu called HSBC Bank, and then found Shen Bi, and discussed with him about the acquisition of Li''s TV. When the business came to the door, Shen Bi naturally agreed and let Xia Yu rest assured that she must Will complete Xia Yu''s business well and quickly. The next few days will be the final harvest period of the entire gambling plan. Most of Xia Yu''s thoughts are placed here. Every day, I can see the funds in each bank account soaring, which feels indescribable. Time flies and it''s June 25th. When I saw the whistle blow on TV, Xia Yu''s smile could no longer hide. His butterfly wings did not incite tornadoes, and the result of the game was exactly the same as in the previous life. The "Tango Legion" historically lifted the Hercules Cup. Next, it was time for the Argentine team to celebrate. It had nothing to do with Xia Yu. He turned off the TV and was about to go upstairs to sleep. Holding Li Qian before he fell asleep, suddenly he heard a rapid knock on the door, Xia Yu immediately opened his eyes. And Li Qian was also awakened, and she muttered, "My dear, what''s wrong?" "It''s okay, you can go to sleep, it should be Yan Shining who has something to do with me, I will get up and have a look." Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s pretty face, softly soothed, then got out of bed and got dressed and opened the door to see Hou Sheng''s dignified face. "Boss, it''s not good. Someone came in. There are a lot of people. Now the squad leader and Wu Ming are on guard. Let me come up to protect your safety." Hou Sheng said in one breath. Xia Yu frowned without panic. Just about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting from below. "Go, go and see." Xia Yu didn''t hesitate, and when he finished speaking, he walked to the stairs with an embarrassed Hou Sheng. When the danger hit, Xia Yu didn''t show a panic. He believed that Li Wuming and Yan Shining would take care of it. If even they couldn''t solve it, then it would be useless where he hid. When he came to the entrance of the stairs, Xia Yu leaned against the wall and looked down vigilantly. Among them, Yan Shining stayed on the stairs to prevent others from rushing upstairs. And Li Wuming was fighting with a group of people in black. Since only a dim light was turned on, the offenders were all dressed in black, and he couldn''t tell how many enemies there were. "Hey..." "Boom!" "boom¡­¡­" Amid the violent fighting, there was the sound of blunt instruments hitting the ground or crashing from time to time. It was obvious that the people in black had come prepared, not bare-handed. Fortunately, it seems that the offender did not bring a gun! ... At the same time Not far from Xia Yu¡¯s manor, several people took infrared telescopes to look at Xia Yu¡¯s manor, observing the fighting in the house. The bright moonlight shone on several people, revealing how many Police uniforms on people. A leading bearded man put down his binoculars and said in English: "That person should be Li Wuming, who the employer said is good at hitting, he is really good." Another person next to the beard said, "Yes, even if we sent fifteen elite personnel, we still couldn''t beat him. Chinese Kung Fu is really mysterious." "It seems that Plan A has failed. Start Plan B!" "action!" Beard gave an order, and several of them immediately got into the police car behind them. There were several police cars nearby. The police cars were full of people. After hearing Beard''s order, they immediately got into the police car. Chapter 275: Surprises "Woo... woo... woo..." A series of sirens disturbed the tranquility in the field, and everyone in the house changed their expressions. "Boss, the police are here!" Hou Sheng, who was standing behind Xia Yu, sharpened his eyes and reminded him in a low voice. "Ok!" Xia Yu frowned and nodded, his eyes were a little surprised, not knowing what he was thinking. "The alarm is coming, the plan has failed, quickly withdraw!" The head of the group of people in black who was fighting with Li Wuming shouted loudly in English, and then greeted everyone to rush outside. "Grab a few tongues!" Seeing that the enemy wanted to run, even the one lying on the ground struggled to get up and run outside, Yan Shining shouted at Li Wuming. Li Wuming did not respond, but the action in his hand revealed his decision. He suddenly grabbed the two men in black who wanted to escape, hit the fallen autumn leaves, swept them to the ground, and then backhanded them. . Several other people in black who were running slowly yelled, trying to stop and rescue, but they saw Yan Shining giving up guarding the stairs and rushing over. They immediately gave up the rescue, ran outside, and disappeared in the bushes. . Yan Shining did not chase, but helped Li Wuming restrain the two men in black. Xia Yu just wanted to come down, but heard the footsteps coming from behind, he knew it was Li Qian who woke up. Looking back, I saw the neatly dressed Li Qian approaching, and asked nervously on her small face: "Xia Yu, what happened, right?" "Don''t worry, don''t come down, I''ll go down and take a look." "Hou Sheng, protect Li Qian''s safety!" Xia Yu said to Hou Sheng. "Yes!" Hou Sheng responded with a loud shout. Then, Xia Yu stepped down the stairs. When Xia Yu came to the ground, the sound of the car''s flameout sounded outside, followed by a series of footsteps. Xia Yu turned on the headlights and suddenly saw several British policemen in police uniforms and pistols walking in. , The headed one is a big beard. "Put your hands up!" Seeing a series of pistols aimed at himself and others, Xia Yu frowned and said: "Police officer, these two in black clothes are the intruders." Looking at the situation at the scene, the bearded policeman showed an apologetic smile, but this smile appeared on his face, which looked a little embarrassing. "Hello, gentleman, we are pursuing a group of vicious criminal gangs. We just received information that this group of criminal gangs are haunting here. I did not expect that we were still late. I am really sorry!" Just as the beard was speaking, four police officers came from behind him and grabbed the two men in black who had been subdued to the ground. Xia Yu''s eyes became deep when he saw this. "Sergeant Barlow, thank you for coming and scaring the others away, otherwise we really don''t know what danger we will end up with." Xia Yu said with a grateful smile. "Mr., thank you for helping us to subdue these two criminals. In addition, we need to understand the specific situation. Please cooperate and accompany us back to the police station to make an investigation record." "Can''t it be done on site?" Xia Yu frowned and asked rhetorically. "I''m really sorry, the tools for making transcripts are in the police station. For the safety of you and the surrounding residents, please cooperate." Barlow apologized. "Ok!" "boss!" Xia Yugang agreed, Yan Shining''s expression changed, and he shouted anxiously. "Big Brother Yan, you and Hou Sheng are at home, protect Li Qian, Wu Ming accompany me, and act by chance!" Xia Yu said without changing his face. He didn''t want to go either, but seeing that every policeman here had a gun in his hand, it was inevitable that he would be forcibly taken back to make a transcript, so he might as well follow and see what happened. In order to prevent those who ran away from returning, he specifically asked Yan Shining to stay to protect Li Qian''s safety. "Wu Ming, please!" Yan Shining said to Li Wuming solemnly. "Ok!" Li Wuming didn''t say much, he gave a light hmm and nodded heavily. "Inspector Barlow, let''s go!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took Li Wuming to go out. A policeman standing next to the beard saw Li Wuming following. He just wanted to stop him, but saw that the beard shook his head slightly and remained silent. Then, Li Wuming closely followed Xia Yu and got into a police car, and then the police car whizzed away. In the manor, Yan Shining, Li Qian and Hou Sheng were all worried. "Xia Yu is not in danger, right?" Li Qian said worriedly. "Boss Ji Ren has his own vision, don''t worry!" Yan Shining smiled and said comfortingly, but once again turned his head to look in the direction where the police car was leaving, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. ... It was said that in a police car, Xia Yu sat in the middle of the back row, Li Wuming was on the right, and a policeman was squeezed on the left. Through the car window, looking out into the dark night, Xia Yu didn''t know what he was thinking. "Boss, things are wrong!" Li Wuming whispered in Chinese in Xia Yu''s ear. "I noticed that too." Xia Yu''s lips wriggled, his face remained unchanged, and he whispered. After getting into the police car, he kept thinking about what happened tonight, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it became. It was a coincidence. Moreover, the police car honked its whistle and drove over, for fear that the enemy would not know that the police were coming. In fact, Xia Yu smelled an unusual smell when he was in the manor. The police didn''t even chase the criminal gang that had just escaped, and even if they caught two people, they asked him to take notes instead. But when there were all guns around, Xia Yu could only agree to follow if he had more doubts in his mind. He worried that even if Li Wuming and Yan Shining would fight again, they would still be no bullet fast. Because, he could only follow them back. On the way just now, seeing the route of the police car seemed to be driving more and more remote areas, his heart sank. He is probably on the thief ship! "Boss, what should I do?" "Are you sure?" Upon hearing Li Wuming''s question, Xia Yu asked back. "Yes!" Li Wuming replied without any hesitation. "That''s good, let''s take a look first!" Xia Yu''s heart was half down, and he nodded lightly. "Sir, what are you talking about?" The policeman sitting next to Xia Yu questioned. "Nothing, I just thought it was too unlucky tonight." Xia Yu shrugged helplessly. "Yes indeed!" The police smiled with a hint of pity, but the smile seemed to Xia Yu to be meaningful, which deepened his suspicion. Xia Yu lowered his head, wondering who was calculating him, not wanting his life, but wanting to take him away, what is the purpose. At this moment, the car stepped on the brakes and then stopped. Xia Yu immediately focused on the extreme, Li Wuming beside him also focused his eyes, ready to fight back at any time. "This gentleman, we are here, please get off!" "Do it!" While the policeman next to him was speaking, Xia Yu gave an order, and at the same time pressed his hand on the holster with one hand and punched him on the nose. And Li Wuming was even more swift and dashed. Two hands directly pinched the throats of the two policemen in front of them when they failed to respond. Then, as the sound of bone fracture sounded, the two policemen He swallowed directly. Then, Li Wuming punched the policeman next to Xia Yu''s throat with a backhand punch. The policeman''s eyes were round, his head twisted and he lost his breath. All this happened in just two seconds, and the policemen in the front and rear police cars have not yet come down. Then, Xia Yu took out the pistol from the police holster beside him and threw it to Li Wuming. Li Wuming said to take care, then opened the door and rushed down, closing the door with his backhand. Xia Yu didn''t waste any time. He leaned forward, took out a gun from the holsters of the two men in front, took out a gun in his hand, opened the insurance, and watched for emergencies at any time. After Li Wuming went out, someone finally discovered the situation and took out a pistol and wanted to shoot, but he didn''t shoot as quickly as Li Wuming. Li Wuming is also very proficient in firearms. Although he is a martial idiot, he is not a fool. He knows that in this era, boxing and kicking can have a great effect in close range. As long as the distance is opened, someone else can do it with a bullet. , So he has also consciously trained in firearms. People who have trained to the spirit with his skills have clear ears, clear eyes and better nerve response than ordinary people, so the marksmanship is naturally not bad, almost one shot per shot. Seeing Li Wuming shooting, other people in police uniforms quickly got off the other side of the car and used the car as a cover to hide. "Humph!" Xia Yu Dama sat in the car with a golden sword, looked at a lonely house not far away through the window glass, and snorted coldly. When he saw this house, he was 100% sure that these policemen were fakes, and it must be the location of the messengers behind the scenes. Now that he was in the place, Xia Yu naturally acted first, otherwise he would get out of the car and wait for everyone to come out, even if Li Wuming was tougher, he couldn''t do anything. Before long, the gunfire outside stopped, and Li Wuming opened the door of the car and said blankly: "Boss, everyone is killed!" "Okay, go inside! Be careful!" Xia Yu nodded and said, then picked up the gun and got out of the car, and followed Li Wuming towards the house not far away. "They want to run!" At this moment, Li Wuming keenly saw two people coming out of the house and getting into a car, and he shouted. "Don''t let them run!" Xia Yu immediately ordered Li Wuming picked up the pistol, almost without aiming, fired several shots at the tires of the car, firing and running in the direction of the car. "boom¡­¡­" One shot hit the mailbox, and the car caught fire. The two people in the car who were about to start the car immediately got out of the car and fled. Just as they were about to rush into the house, they were shot in the leg by Li Wuming and fell to the ground. "boom!" With a loud noise, the car was enveloped by a ball of fire, which illuminated the dark night sky. Due to the distance, the sputtering spark did not hit Xia Yu. Then, Xia Yu ran after Li Wuming''s figure, and came to the two people who fell down and howled. When he saw one of them, Xia Yu showed a clear expression and spit out: "So it''s you!" Chapter 276: Wu Chengde, please (5000 characters I don''t know how long it took, when a roar of cars came from far and near, Xia Yu and Li Wuming leaned against the wall, their guns were loaded, and they were always alert to the surrounding movement. At this moment, Li Wuming, who was observing, suddenly said, "Boss, it''s our car." Xia Yu raised her brows and heard Li Qian''s scream just as she wanted to speak. He immediately walked out and saw Yan Shining getting out of the car, and Li Qian who opened the door but turned pale because of the corpses on the floor. "Cici, don''t look!" Xia Yu glanced at the Wu Hongyi''s car behind him, then retracted his gaze and said to Li Qian. "Xia Yu, I''m so scared, you just need to be fine!" Li Qian sobbed into Xia Yu''s arms, and Xia Yu quickly patted her back to comfort her. "Okay, okay, am I okay? Don''t worry!" "Xia Yu, you''re fine, what happened?" After Wu Hongyi got out of the car, he walked quickly to Xia Yu and looked at the people in police uniforms who had fallen in a pool of blood. He frowned and asked nervously. "You leave London quickly, if you are found to have killed so many policemen, you will definitely be dead!" Wu Hongyi said solemnly. Xia Yu did not answer, but took a good look at Wu Hongyi. When Wu Hongyi couldn''t figure it out, Xia Yu shook his head and said, "They are not police, they are fake!" Wu Hongyi''s eyes widened. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to say this. He still didn''t believe it, enduring nausea, squatting next to a corpse, looking at the man''s armband, first frowned, and then stretched out. "There is no serial number, the clothes are fake, they are fake police, but they can take out their guns, which is troublesome." "Xia Yu, did you provoke someone?" Wu Hongyi asked with concern. "Come with me!" Xia Yu''s tone was a bit complicated, and when he finished speaking, he turned around and walked inside with Li Qian''s hand. Wu Hongyi felt that Xia Yu''s attitude was very wrong. He didn''t think much about it, thinking that Xia Yu''s mood fluctuated too much tonight, and he did not recover. It''s just that when Wu Hongyi followed Xia Yu in and saw the man who had died and fell to the ground, his face changed and he blurted out in disbelief, "How could it be Liu Yuesong?" "Look at this again!" Speaking of Xia Yu, he threw the bag of papers from Liu Yuesong to Wu Hongyi. Wu Hongyi took the file bag blankly, then opened it and looked at it. At this look, his face suddenly became gloomy to the extreme. Finally, he said to Xia Yu with ashamed face: "Xia Yu, I''m sorry, there was a scum in the family, and he did such a thing..." Halfway through, Wu Hongyi couldn''t continue, and his guilt towards Xia Yu grew stronger. With his IQ, after seeing Liu Yuesong and the equity transfer letter in this file bag, he understood everything. It must be his cousin Wu Honglin who wanted to make money and kill him. It¡¯s just that Wu Honglin didn¡¯t expect that even though Xia Yu looked lonely, he was a tiger. So many people were killed by two people. Fortunately, Xia Yu has no danger, otherwise he would really have no face to live in this world. He really regarded Xia Yu as a confidant! Since childhood, the only confidant! I just interrogated Liu Yuesong, Xia Yu was still a little skeptical, now seeing Wu Hongyi''s reaction, Xia Yu believed it, this matter really has nothing to do with Wu Hongyi. That being the case, he didn''t blame Wu Hongyi. Besides, Wu Hongyi ran over at a risk at such a late hour, which also showed something. There is just another question. Is it true that what Liu Yuesong said is Wu Honglin''s personal thoughts or the will of the Wu family? Let''s talk about this later, I can''t think of it just thinking about it! Let''s see the follow-up! "Clean up here first!" Looking around, Xia Yu said. Then, except for Li Qian sitting in the car, everyone helped tidy up and stuffed all the corpses into the car. Then Yan Shining drove to a cliff near the sea. After getting off the car, he started the car and let the car go. The car full of dead bodies plunged into the sea. After cleaning up for a long time, the traces were cleaned up, and the people went around in a big circle and went back home. After returning, Wu Hongyi was not in the mood to go home. Instead, at Xia Yu''s home, he told Xia Yu some inside stories about the Wu family, including his relationship with Wu Honglin and his son and the dispute over the Wu family''s heirs. During Wu Hongyi''s narration, Xia Yu listened quietly. In fact, when he was interrogating Liu Yuesong, Liu Yuesong said the reason, that is, why he was targeting Xia Yu, which involved Wu Honglin''s attempt to suppress Wu Hongyi and eliminate his foreign aid. What Liu Yuesong said at the time was not very clear, and because he did not know the internal situation of the entire Wu family, these scattered information could not be connected logically. Now after listening to Wu Hongyi''s lecture, Xia Yu has a clear concept and judgment. Except because of his feud with Wu Honglin, he might really threaten Wu Honglin, and then what happened now. "Xia Yu, don''t worry, I will give you an explanation for this!" Wu Hongyi gritted his teeth and said, his bloodshot eyes were full of determination. Wu Hongyi is really angry! Since his father died unexpectedly, he has been suppressed secretly. As he grows older, he has received more and more pressure, but because he doesn''t want to fight, he silently endures and gives in. Unexpectedly, just now when he wanted to make a difference, Wu Honglin would be cruel and even hurt his friends. This kind of no way to survive made him feel chilling, but also made him extremely angry! Rabbits will bite when they are anxious! He can''t bear it, no need to bear it anymore, he can''t bear it anymore! Since Wu Honglin must be aggressive, he will fight for the position of the head of the family. Even if Wu Honglin''s father now controls a large part of the power, he will fight! For the sake of this tone, and for the sake of life in the future! "Hongyi, you are you, he is him, you don''t have to be so!" Xia Yu said lightly. Wu Hongyi showed a hint of gratitude, then stood up and said, "Xia Yu, I''m going back first. If you have any problems, come to me directly!" "Okay, it''s so late, go back and be safe!" Xia Yu nodded and said politely. Then, Wu Hongyi left Xia Yu''s house. After he left, Yan Shining closed the door and everyone surrounded Xia Yu. "Boss, the danger still exists, and we have killed people. If we are wanted by the British police, we will be in trouble!" Yan Shining said solemnly. "Xia Yu, how about we hurry back to Xiangjiang, it''s too unsafe here." Li Qian pulled Xia Yu by the corners of his clothes, watching him worriedly and persuading. Xia Yu was silent and thought. What Yan Shining could think of, he naturally wanted to get it. The best way is to leave overnight, fly back to Xiangjiang, and arrive at his own site. Even if the British police find a problem, he has more ways to deal with it. And he must go back as soon as possible because he learned from Liu Yuesong tonight that they not only plan A and plan B, but also have a more vicious plan C. If both plans A and B fail, then Charles of Jardine will let people kidnap Xia Yu''s relatives and force Xia Yu to come out and confess his fate. Now both plans A and B have failed. As long as Wu Honglin and Charles know about it, then plan C is likely to start, so now Xia Yu''s family is in danger. When he just returned, Xia Yu immediately called back to Xiangjiang and arranged for someone to strictly protect the safety of his family. He also contacted Li Chunqiu. Li Chunqiu assured him that Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. But he was not in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was still a little uneasy! The best way is to go back immediately! Sit yourself! However, even though Wu Honglin and Charles¡¯s people were killed, so that they could not steal the chickens and lose their rice, they were calculated after all. Wu Honglin and Charles, the two culprits, definitely can¡¯t just let them go! It is not Xia Yu''s style to have grudges and not revenge! It''s a pity that the situation is overwhelming. Which one should you choose between your own safety and your family''s safety or immediate revenge? After hesitating for a second, Xia Yu decisively chose the former! Going back to Xiangjiang first, your own safety is important. Returning to Xiangjiang is the same for revenge. Anyway, the two masterminds will deal with Charles of Jardine first, and then see how to clean up Wu Honglin. And this is also taking into account the actual situation. Xia Yu has no minions in the UK. The only thing that can be counted is Rong Yeh, who has just bought a stake. But that is also someone else¡¯s. If you want to retaliate against Wu Honglin, you will definitely have to spend some tricks. The effect is not big. do not know. One more thing, Wu Honglin is after all a member of the Wu family, or Wu Hongyi''s cousin. Even if the two have an antagonism, Xia Yu would not be able to kill him. It is very difficult to deal with. What''s more, since Wu Hongyi said he wanted to explain to Xia Yu, let him give him a chance. After making the decision, Xia Yu looked at everyone and slowly nodded and said: "Pack up, let''s go to downtown London overnight." "Okay, boss!" Yan Shining smiled and responded immediately, then a group of people dispersed and hurriedly packed their things. Before long, everything was packed, and two cars started to go to downtown London. ... However, after Wu Hongyi left Xia Yu''s house, he did not go back to sleep. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he drove to the family overnight. The roar of the engine broke the tranquility of the night. The guard of Wu''s house illuminates Wu Hongyi''s car with a bright searchlight. After seeing the license plate, he immediately opened the door and let him go. At the same time, he arranged for someone to greet him and report to it. Wu Hongyi, the second young master who has not been home for a long time, is back! This is no small thing! When Wu Hongyi stopped, he saw Fu Bo looking at him with a smile. "Fu Bo!" Wu Hongyi shouted respectfully. "Second Young Master, why come back so late all of a sudden, what''s the matter?" Fubo asked with concern. "Uncle Fu, there is something urgent, I want to tell Grandpa!" Wu Hongyi gritted his teeth and said, holding back his anger. "I''m going to wake up the master!" Seeing Wu Hongyi''s red eyes and the obviously wrong state, Fu Bo knew that it was not good, he said immediately, and then took Wu Hongyi to Wu Chengde''s small courtyard. When Wu Chengde got dressed, he smiled after seeing Wu Hongyi. He hadn''t seen this second grandson for a long time. "Grandpa! I''m sorry to disturb you so late!" Wu Hongyi said respectfully. "Haha, it''s rare for you to come back. It''s right to tell me the first time." Wu Chengde smiled heartily. Seeing Wu Hongyi''s reluctant smile, Wu Chengde frowned slightly and his smile narrowed. After sitting down, he asked, "Seeing that you are not in the right state, what trouble has you encountered?" "Grandpa, it''s like this..." Wu Hongyi said with a complex expression. As Wu Hongyi continued to tell, Wu Chengde''s face became more and more gloomy, and his last slap was slapped heavily on the table, making a loud noise. "boom!" "Something that can''t live up to, this is going to **** me off...cough cough...cough cough..." "Master, don''t be angry, take it easy!" "Grandpa, don''t worry, pay attention to your body!" Butler Ah Fu and Wu Hongyi said quickly, their expressions a little worried. "Huh...huh..." "I''m fine, keep talking!" After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Chengde spoke with a firm tone. "...That''s how it is." "Grandpa, I promised Xia Yu that I must give him an explanation. The youngest deceived people too much. It doesn''t matter to target me, but my friends are already involved!" After Wu Hongyi finished speaking, his whole body relaxed a lot, and he looked straight at Wu Chengde, who was gloomy, watching his grandfather''s reaction. Wu Chengde frowned and didn''t know what he was thinking, but neither the housekeeper Ah Fu nor Wu Hongyi bothered him. After a long time, Wu Chengde said, "Where is this idiot now?" Knowing to ask myself, the butler Afuli Mahui reported: "The Third Young Master should now be in his villa in the western suburbs of London." "Immediately send someone to catch him back! If he is not there, find out for me. After catching him back, he will be locked up. I will not speak, and no one is allowed to let him out!" Wu Chengde said angrily, this lawless third grandson, he couldn''t safely let him out. Fortunately, it was his servant Liu Yuesong who came forward this time. Otherwise, it might be Wu Honglin who died. Since the plan has failed, it is difficult to guarantee whether Wu Honglin will do it again. With the ability shown by Xia Yu''s bodyguard tonight, Wu Honglin will only appear Danger! Taking him back now is actually protecting him! At the same time, to avoid further intensification of contradictions! It''s just...the contradiction is already serious now! Wu Honglin intends to make money and kill him! Looking at Wu Hongyi looking at him expectantly, Wu Chengde felt a headache. He could feel Wu Hongyi''s decisiveness. It seemed that Wu Honglin really pushed Wu Hongyi into a hurry. Seeing Wu Hongyi''s current state with his own eyes, although Wu Chengde has a headache, he is also very relieved that his grandson with high hopes has not completely turned into a sheep. Slightly shook his head and cleared his thoughts. Now is not the time to think about this, but I still consider how to solve it and comfort Wu Hongyi! If he doesn''t call the shots, he can''t predict what will happen in the future, but judging from Wu Hongyi''s decisive attitude, it will definitely be worse! Others are fine, but his grandson is the most important! For a long time, Wu Chengde looked at Wu Hongyi and said, "You will set a table in the Phoenix Building tomorrow, make an appointment with your friend, and I will personally apologize to him tomorrow! Others, we will meet again!" Wu Hongyi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded heavily: "Grandpa, I will definitely!" ... After Wu Hongyi left, Ah Fu, the housekeeper, also returned. He saw that Wu Chengde was the only one in the living room and asked, "Master, the second young master is gone?" "Ok!" "He has gone to make an appointment with Xia Yu. Tomorrow morning I will go to the Phoenix Building to meet his friends!" "Master, is this wrong?" Butler Ah Fu was shocked and felt wrong. As the head of the Wu family, Wu Chengde personally hosted a dinner and apologized, which was too unassuming. Moreover, with the abilities shown by Xia Yu''s bodyguard, Wu Chengde would be in danger if he went there. If the talk collapsed, it would be troublesome. In addition, Wu Chengde''s health is not good, so the housekeeper Ah Fu will naturally worry. "do not worry!" "Afu, you send someone to collect evidence, and at the same time remove the traces of that idiot!" Wu Chengde''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a blank expression. Butler Ah Fu flicked his eyes and said respectfully: "Yes!" He just said, even if the master cares about the second young master, he will not be able to make the previous reaction. It turns out that there is a second-hand preparation. If Xia Yu is not interesting, huh... Wu Chengde went back to the room to rest until the butler Ah Fu left again. Wu Hongyi left the Wu family mansion overnight. When heading back, he happened to meet Xia Yu and others who were heading for the London time zone. Seeing the familiar license plate, Wu Hongyi kept honking his horn. "Xia Yu, where are you going?" After parking, Wu Hongyi rushed to Xia Yu and asked with concern. Xia Yu didn''t expect to meet Wu Hongyi on the road. He found an excuse and said, "It''s not safe at home. I want to live outside tonight." "Oh, I see!" Wu Hongyi believed, and said in relief. "Xia Yu, I happened to meet you. I just went home and saw my grandpa. He asked me to be in my Phoenix Building tomorrow morning. My grandpa will come to see you. You must come!" "By the way, my grandfather has sent someone to arrest Wu Honglin, and there should be nothing tonight." After speaking, Wu Hongyi looked at Xia Yu expectantly, waiting for his reply. He very much hoped that Xia Yu would agree, because it was an opportunity to solve the problem and the result of his hard work. He didn''t want to disappoint Xia Yu, a good friend. Xia Yu raised his brows and figured out the implications. This is an intention to negotiate! Seeing Wu Hongyi looking forward to it, Xia Yu felt a little warm in his heart. It seems that Wu Hongyi really regarded him as a good friend, so he ran around at night, and wanted to give him an explanation, but he didn¡¯t plan to. Farewell, Xia Yu felt a trace of guilt in his heart. In this case, Xia Yu changed his mind. He gave Wu Hongyi a face to see how his grandfather would solve the problem. Everything in the world is inseparable from interest As long as there is enough interest, what if Xia Yu gives up revenge? Besides, who has stipulated that you cannot go back? After making up his mind, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I must be there tomorrow!" "Thank you!" Wu Hongyi said excitedly, the joy is beyond words, as long as Xia Yu is willing to talk, then it means that this hatred can be resolved, and he will not lose Xia Yu''s friend! "Let''s go, after a busy night, go back and rest quickly, and I''ll talk about other things tomorrow!" "Ok!" "Let''s go back!" Then, Xia Yu took everyone into the car and returned home again. Nothing happened overnight, and it was the next day in no time! Chapter 277: Xia Yus backhand (5000 characters London is not only the heart of Britain, but also the heart of Europe. In the bustling London, countless roads crisscross each other, and various buildings stand on both sides of each road. London¡¯s Great Portland Street, the name has been around for hundreds of years, and there are some old buildings on both sides of the road. Although many buildings have been demolished and constructed in the past years, it is still difficult to conceal its simple atmosphere. At 49 Great Portland Avenue, there is a very old and special building. Whether it is foundation or sculpture, it is revealed that it is an English-style building, but the surface of the building has various decorations and decorations. Wood carvings are full of Chinese culture. The traditional British style is perfectly integrated with the atmospheric and soft Chinese culture. This building is nothing but the Chinese Embassy in the UK! In 1877, in accordance with the provisions of the "Yantai Treaty" signed by the incompetent Qing government, Guo Songtao, who was then the procurator of Fujian Province, went to England to "apology" and became a minister. Director, Scotsman Jin Denggan has rented 49 Great Portland Avenue. When Guo and his party arrived in London, they stayed in this five-story building built 100 years ago, in 1777. After that, Guo Songtao submitted his credentials to Queen Victoria. Since then, Guo Songtao has become China''s first foreign envoy. And 49 Great Portland Avenue has since become the first foreign diplomatic mission in China''s history, and it has been in use ever since! At this time, in the luxurious reception hall of the embassy in the UK, Xia Yu and others were all in it, and Xia Yu was having a very happy conversation with Ambassador Qian Wenchao. The relationship between the one asking for something and the other deliberately drawing in, the two replaced the wine with tea, and the relationship between them was drawn a lot closer invisibly. "Mr. Xia, you have been in London for many days. What impression do you have of London?" Qian Wenchao took a sip of tea, looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, and asked casually. "Ah!" Xia Yu gave a chuckle, picked up the hot tea and blew it lightly. The white mist rose and lingered on his face. Xia Yu took a sip. At the moment when the teacup blocked his vision, his eyes flashed. Diligent, aware of Qian Wenchao''s temptation. He put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "London is like a bunch of flowers, blooming like a brocade, but unfortunately the land where this bunch of flowers grows is already riddled with holes, lacks nutrition, and is full of decadence." "Giants will also be late, and beauty will eventually turn white." "More than three hundred years ago, the British said that the sun rose from the prime meridian of the Greenwich Observatory. After more than three hundred years, the British sun will eventually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun will shine here." "Haha, Mr. Xia has a brilliant literary talent, but he is a master of literature, this metaphor is used well, admire! Admire!" Hearing Xia Yu''s evaluation, Qian Wenchao smiled brightly, laughed and exclaimed, his eyes softened when he looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu is worthy of being a smart man. He heard the meaning of his words, and then did not break it. Instead, he used a vivid evaluation to express his attitude towards Britain and also implicitly expressed his position and attitude. However, Qian Wenchao still wants to know Xia Yu''s attitude further, so as to determine how to treat Xia Yu. What''s more, Xia Yu doesn''t seem to dislike his temptation. This is a good opportunity. How can he not grab it quickly? If you don''t seize the opportunity to test this time, it will be difficult to find the opportunity next time. Who knows when Xia Yu will come to the embassy again? Thinking of this, Qian Wenchao provoked the topic again and said, "Mr. Xia, the surname Xia is rare in Xiangjiang. I don''t know where is your ancestry?" "I really know that my ancestral home is in Qianzhou, Gan Province. At that time, in order to avoid the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, my ancestors went all the way south and finally came to Xiangjiang Anjia, which has been passed down to this day. Xia Yu said with a smile. He really didn''t say it wrong, he had read the family tree and it was very clear. Xia Yu''s previous life has learned on the Internet that after Xia''s surname can only be ranked one hundred and fifty in China, it is distributed throughout China, but Gan Province alone accounts for more than one-tenth, ranking first in the country. "Oh? What a coincidence? I am also from Qianzhou, Gan Province! We are fellow villagers!" Qian Wenchao said with an unexpected expression. Xia Yu couldn''t help but raised his brows. He was indeed surprised. A person of Qian Wenchao''s status would not deceive him on such trivial matters. Then it is true to think about it! It''s just that I don''t know if Qian Wenchao really doesn''t know his ancestral home is in Jiangxi Province, or if he found out that he deliberately introduced this topic. But these are things that cannot be verified, and there is no need to go deeper, just treat it as a coincidence! "It seems we are destined!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Haha!" "It''s a pity that I haven''t been back to Qianzhou for decades. I don''t know what my hometown is like now..." Qian Wenchao laughed first, then his smile slowly receded, and said with some hope but regret. Thinking of Gan Province, Xia Yu''s eyes were a little blurred. He was from Qianzhou in Gan Province in his previous life. After rebirth in this life, he traced his family tree and found that his ancestral home was also in Qianzhou in Gan Province. I don''t know if it was God''s will! "If I have a chance in the future, I really want to go back and have a look!" Xia Yu seemed to express his true feelings, and said softly. Hearing this, Qian Wenchao''s eyes flashed with a bright smile and said: "Mr. Xia has a successful career. It is naturally easy to find the roots of his career. The villagers from Qianzhou will definitely welcome you!" As he said, Qian Wenchao looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes and observed his expression. Xia Yu glanced at Qian Wenchao, then turned his head to the east, and made a gaze. He said with emotion: "Welcome or unwelcome, I don''t care! Or accident, or because of livelihood, for hundreds of years, Chinese people Our footsteps are all over the world. Although we live overseas, we have never forgotten the blood of Yan and Huang flowing through our bodies." "The ancients emphasized that fallen leaves return to their roots, no matter how far away they are from home, but the heart longing for the hometown is always beating..." "Sorry, I lost my temper, please forgive me!" Xia Yu blinked, cleared up his mood, and showed an apologetic smile. "Haha, don''t get in the way, Mr. Xia''s true temperament, how can I say that it''s gloomy!" Qian Wenchao laughed and said, feeling very happy, looking at Xia Yu''s eyes full of closeness, and the enthusiasm in the words was very obvious. "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled, shook his head and said nothing. Next, Qian Wenchao didn''t continue to ask, he already knew what he wanted to know. When a smart person speaks, there is no need to pick it so clearly, just as everyone understands. Moreover, it is only the second time he and Xia Yu have seen each other, and it is also the first time Xia Yu has taken the initiative to find him. If he does not know how to grasp the scale and has to break the casserole to the end, his ability is questionable, and Even though Xia Yu was grinning on his face, he would be unhappy in his heart. Too much too! Just enough! At this moment, Minister Cheng Jie also happened to be back. He smiled at Xia Yu and gestured, then put a bag on the table, and reported to Qian Wenchaohui: "Leader, the ticket has been bought, it''s two o''clock in the afternoon. Half off!" "Thank you!" After Qian Wenchao finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu again, made a please gesture, and smiled: "Mr. Xia, please check to see if there is anything missing." "Ok!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he picked up the bag and opened it, took out a stack of tickets inside, wiped it with his hand, and opened it all. After seeing a series of place names, Xia Yu smiled assuredly, put the ticket away, and put it back in the bag. "Ambassador Qian, thank you very much!" Xia Yu said solemnly. "You are welcome. It is our duty to serve overseas compatriots. If there is anything we need to do in the future, just tell us and we will definitely help you do it the first time!" Qian Wenchao waved his hand and smiled. When speaking, his face was full of sincerity and solemnity. "Haha, then I won''t be polite!" Xia Yu smiled heartily. "Haha!" Qian Wenchao also laughed, and even the minister Cheng Jie standing next to him seemed to be affected by the atmosphere and smiled. Looking at his watch, Xia Yu showed an apologetic smile: "Ambassador Qian, I have another appointment. I''m really sorry, I have to leave first!" "Your business matters, I''ll send it to you!" Qian Wenchao said understandingly, then stood up and made a please gesture. When he came outside, Yan Shining opened the door of the car. Before getting into the car, Xia Yu stopped, looked at Qian Wenchao and others, and finally returned his gaze to Qian Wenchao. "Everyone, then I''ll go first, and I''ll come back if I have a chance!" Xia Yu said solemnly. "Mr. Xia, the door of the embassy is open for you at any time, not only the United Kingdom, but also the Chinese embassies around the world. As long as you go, they will definitely welcome you! Qian Wenchao looked at Xia Yu''s eyes scorchingly, his expression very serious and solemn. "Yeah! Thank you!" "Then I''ll go first, see you next time!" After speaking, Xia Yu got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved to everyone. Immediately afterwards, the car slowly drove away from the door of the embassy. "Let''s go back!" Watching Xia Yu''s car disappear on the corner of the street, Qian Wenchao put down his hands and smiled. After speaking, he took the lead back to the embassy, ??did not sit down and rest, but quickly came to the innermost room, picked up a red phone, and quickly dialed a number. "Beep...beep...beep..." The phone rang three times, and then a loud and steady voice came from the microphone. Just when Qian Wenchao dialed the phone, in a secret small building in Huaxia Imperial Capital, an old man in sixties answered the phone. Listening to Qian Wenchao''s constant recounting, a smile appeared on the old man''s determined face. After Qian Wenchao finished the report, he immediately said: "Okay, you have done a good job. It seems that this genius is committed to the motherland! Haha! !" "Now that he is in trouble, you immediately arrange for him to remove all obstacles and hidden dangers to ensure his safety!" Then, the old man hung up the phone and looked at the information on the desktop, a smile appeared on his face. ... Inside the Chinese Embassy in the UK, after Qian Wenchao hung up the phone, he said: "Come in!" Military attache Song Weihong, who had already been guarding the door, immediately opened the door and walked in, waiting for Qian Wenchao''s instructions. "Receive the order from Shangfeng, no matter what happens to him, remove all obstacles and hidden dangers for him and ensure that he leaves the UK safely! Implement it immediately! Qian Wenchao looked at Song Weihong who was standing upright with a serious face and said. "Yes!" Song Weihong bowed a military salute, and left the room quickly, leaving the room to set up the task. Looking at Song Weihong''s back, Qian Wenchao thought of the leader''s praise, and couldn''t help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Early in the morning, Xia Yu came to the embassy and found him. This surprised him. Then Xia Yu made another request, which was to help five of them buy air tickets at several different airports at the same time. Unification takes off at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it flies to Hong Kong, Omen, Malaysia, the United States, island countries, South Korea and other places. There are ten locations in total! This kind of request made Qian Wenchao immediately realize that Xia Yu must be in trouble. He didn''t ask why and didn''t hesitate to arrange someone to buy it immediately! This kind of troublesome thing for Xia Yu is very simple for his embassy, ??and he is naturally very happy to show his personal affection. As for the subsequent report to the top, when he was talking with Xia Yu, he tested Xia Yu''s attitude, knowing that it was what the top was looking forward to, so he naturally reported urgently. Before he reported, he guessed that it would be the result, because if he sat in that position, he would make such a decision! ... On the way to the Phoenix Building, Xia Yu opened the bag again, took out the stack of tickets inside and looked at it, with a smile on his face. "Xia Yu, let me see!" Li Qian, who was next to Xia Yu, saw so many tickets and said curiously, after receiving the tickets, she counted them like money. "Xia Yu, the embassy is really powerful. I bought so many tickets in such a short time!" Li Qian exclaimed. Xia Yu smiled, did not speak, his eyes were a little surprised. I came to the embassy to find Qian Wenchao early this morning. He thought about it when he promised Wu Hongyi last night. Otherwise, if he doesn''t have a back hand, if he responds to the banquet in a daze, even in Wu Hongyi''s restaurant, the probability of an accident in the downtown area is very low, but there are still risks. If there is a risk, there must be countermeasures! If the two parties agree, then naturally everyone is happy. But if the negotiation broke down, Xia Yu would not think that Wu Hongyi''s grandfather would treat him like Wu Hongyi. This kind of big family patron-level figure has gone through so many storms, he is definitely an old fox, and absolutely impossible to be a good person. Wu Hongyi''s grandfather definitely has different back-ups, no matter whether the negotiation succeeds or fails, there will be countermeasures! If the negotiation breaks down, even with Wu Hongyi in the middle, Xia Yu believes that Wu Chengde is still likely to be ruthless. He also has many methods to put aside his relationship and take care of Wu Hongyi''s emotions as much as possible. But Wu Chengde is an old fox, and Xia Yu is not a vegetarian rabbit! In London and even the United Kingdom, Xia Yu knew that he would not be the opponent of the Wu family. Wu Chengde had many methods to deal with him, but he did not have any countermeasures. Unless he was in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was confident that even if the Wu family had been through Jianglong, he would There are many ways to knock it down. But Xia Yu is not without any means, he has no power, but he can use it! The Chinese Embassy in China is his goal! Even if the Wu family is strong, as long as a country is serious, even if it is just an embassy, ??the energy that can be unleashed is amazing! You must know that the embassy absolutely has its own force, and there are military attach¨¦s on the surface, but secretly, embassies in various places have the right to mobilize overseas forces. Of course, Xia Yu didn''t want Qian Wenchao to use secret force to help him work. He just needs to buy a ticket and let him leave safely. Buy ten flights and fly to different locations. As long as he realizes that there is a problem with the negotiation, Xia Yu will delay time. After the negotiation broke down, he immediately stuck in time and chose a flight to leave the UK. This is not the Internet age. Major airlines do not exchange information. It is impossible to know that Xia Yu and others have bought so many tickets. At that time, even if the British police want to arrest Xia Yu and others, it will not be a short time. Know which plane he took. When it was found out, Xia Yu and others had already left the UK! And as long as the negotiation breaks down, Xia Yu will never take the plane to Xiangjiang, so as to avoid being caught waiting when he gets off the plane! It is still difficult for Britain to catch him, and Xia Yu doesn''t believe how the trivial family can take him! At that time, as long as he leaves the UK, Xia Yu will definitely rush to build his own strength, and the Wu family can wait for his revenge! As for seeking help from the embassy this time, he also expressed his opinion in front of Qian Wenchao, and it was also Xia Yu''s intention. One is that as long as he expresses his attitude, even if he does not ask for it, as long as his value is still there, Huaxia will take the initiative to protect his safety. This is Huaxia''s consistent behavior. When the issue of reclaiming Xiangjiang has emerged, he is the goal that the mainland wants to strive for. If something happens to his inland tycoon, the mainland definitely does not want to see it! Second, the heart is inward, which is indeed his true thoughts! From the point of view of profit, Xia Yu will always fall to the motherland. No matter how successful a capitalist is, he will not be an opponent of a country. If Xia Yu infringes on the interests of large European and American consortia, he will not use commercial methods. If it works, they can control the government to deal with Xia Yu. Xia Yu would not think that he would be an opponent of the state apparatus! Only a fool would think that a consortium can hold the world''s largest United States, and even the suppression and targeting of Europe. So the best way is to blend in with them, eat at the same table with them, or find a backer that can sit on an equal footing with them! You don¡¯t have to think about merging into them. Black eyes and yellow skin are destined for Xia Yu in this white-supremacist world. He can''t blend in at all, and he can''t climb to the top. He will only enter the tiger''s mouth Xia Yu can Only the mainland can merge into it, and it can climb to the top, and only the mainland can stand to the top of the right. Therefore, whether it is emotional or rational, relying on the mainland is Xia Yu''s only choice, and it is also the best choice when he wants to stand on top of the world! Of course, Xia Yu would not dig out his heart all at once. The motherland is the motherland, the government is the government, and a certain department is a certain department. Xia Yu clearly distinguishes it. If it is too easy for others to get, he will be killed. Underestimate, think he is bully! Therefore, it is enough to get ahead of others and reveal your attitude and tendency slightly. As for how to get in touch with each other in the future, let''s get in touch with things slowly in the future! Now, no worries, let''s see what Wu Hongyi''s grandfather can bring out to apologize! If you are not satisfied... don''t blame him for turning his face! Just as Xia Yu was thinking, the car finally came to Juelu Street and stopped in front of the Phoenix Building. Chapter 278: Collision between foxes After seeing Xia Yu''s car showing up, a young servant who had been waiting at the door immediately ran into the house. When Xia Yu and others stopped the car and just got off, Wu Hongyi also happened to come to the door and greeted Xia Yu with a smile on his face. "Xia Yu, you are here!" "Sorry, I did something to keep you waiting!" Xia Yu said apologetically. "It''s okay, it''s not time yet, come, let''s go in and say!" Wu Hongyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, then walked inside to meet Xia Yu and others. Followed Wu Hongyi to the door of a room, pushed open the door, and saw the two old men inside. One of them seemed to be sitting casually, but gave Xia Yu a sense of motionlessness. Xia Yu immediately glanced. Condensed. This is Wu Hongyi''s grandfather, this kind of aura of self-prestige is not something ordinary people can have! Seeing Xia Yu appeared, Wu Chengde also stood up, but did not walk towards Xia Yu, but just watched Xia Yu lightly. This attitude made Xia Yu frowned and realized that the negotiation had already begun. This was the initial momentum competition. If Xia Yu fell, he would be invisible in the next negotiation. Xia Yu smiled faintly, seemingly unaffected by Wu Chengde''s momentum. He looked at Wu Hongyi and smiled lightly: "Hongyi, who are these two?" Wu Hongyi hurriedly smiled and said, "This is my grandfather, this is Fu Bo, the housekeeper of my Wu family." Seeing Wu Hongyi being pulled in and taking the initiative to introduce Wu Chengde, Wu Chengde felt a little depressed. He realized that Xia Yu was not easy to deal with. He looked at Wu Hongyi who was unaware, and he sighed inwardly. The gap between Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu The son appeared. Xia Yuping often asked, but he pulled in his grandsons and introduced them to Xia Yu first. This forced him to speak first, which directly broke the atmosphere he created. However, he had troubles and couldn¡¯t say how to keep him depressed. . But it doesn''t matter, his methods are more than so few. If they didn''t work, they didn''t work. Let''s take care of his grandson''s face. "Hello, I am Hongyi''s grandfather Wu Chengde, I am glad to meet you!" Wu Chengde smiled amiably, like an old grandfather next door, who looked amiable and amiable, and the imposing manner just now disappeared without a trace. "Hello, old man, this is Xia Yu, this is my girlfriend Li Qian, these are Li Wuming, Yan Shining, and Hou Sheng, all my friends." Xia Yu introduced with a smile, and Wu Chengde nodded with a smile. "The old man is very old, so don''t stand still, let''s sit down and talk!" Xia Yu seemed to have just reacted and said quickly, his face showing his fault. Xia Yu''s actions and words seemed to show no traces of performance. It seemed to be a concern from the heart, but Wu Chengde was stunned. He understood Xia Yu''s underlying meaning and reminded him that he was old. In connection with what happened last night, the meaning is self-evident. Wu Chengde is not a vegetarian either. He is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves. I don''t know how much language confrontation has been experienced, so naturally there is no way to cope. "Haha!" He smiled heartily, seeming to be full of breath, and after sitting down with Xia Yu and others, he said with a smile. "Yeah, I am getting old. I am about the same age as your grandfather. You are a good friend of Hongyi. Don''t call my old man so strange. Just call me Grandpa Wu." Hearing what Wu Chengde said, Wu Hongyi, who was busy pouring tea, also showed a smile on his face. He was pleased that his grandfather had such a good attitude towards Xia Yu, and he was more optimistic about the next discussion. "Huh, old fox, the momentum didn''t work, so he wanted to rely on seniority to overwhelm me and let me be a grandson, which is beautiful!" Xia Yu sneered in his heart, but with an embarrassed expression on his face, he said: "What you said, I think of my deceased grandfather, grandfather, don''t be surprised, I am a more honest person, and things are very divided. Clearly, I really can''t shout." With that, Xia Yu still showed a look of nostalgia, as if he really thought of his grandfather. This kind of true feeling touched Wu Hongyi, but Wu Chengde''s heart was once again stunned, and Xia Yu''s little fox was secretly said. Xia Yu directly opposed the general and told Wu Chengde that he should not be pressured by his generation. He was very clear. He is him, Wu Hongyi is Wu Hongyi, and Wu Honglin is Wu Honglin. This hatred can''t be forgotten, and want to fight. Emotional cards, delusions! And in order not to make the atmosphere embarrassing and to take care of Wu Hongyi''s feelings, Xia Yu also pulled out his dead grandfather, and directly occupied the righteousness, blocking Wu Chengde''s possibility of continuing to talk. In a word, it directly resolved his offensive, and even sent him into the army, reminding him not to come to these imaginary ones. At this moment, Wu Chengde really had an intuitive feeling for Xia Yu. This alive is an old fox in rabbit skin, and he is not inferior to him. With this judgment, Wu Chengde knew that some small tricks were unnecessary and would not work if they were used. Just glanced at Wu Hongyi, who was smiling kindly. Wu Chengde was very depressed. He thought that his grandson was outstanding, but compared with the young Xia Yu, he made a higher judgment. How can this not make him depressed? How did this evildoer be cultivated? You can''t treat it in accordance with common sense at all, it''s unreasonable! Of course, the more enchanting Xia Yu behaved, the more careful Wu Chengde was. He has been alive in the past few years, and now the Wu family and Xia Yu are feuding. If Xia Yu is not resolved, the more evil Xia Yu is, the more dangerous his Wu family will be. If they can''t agree, he will definitely try to kill Xia Yu. Otherwise, if Xia Yu is allowed to run away, given the level of enchantment Xia Yu has shown now, and considering his strength, as long as he does not fall, the possibility of becoming a top tycoon is very high. At that time, he will not believe in his own. Later generations have fought against Xia Yu, and the Wu family will be destroyed by then! But there are not only disadvantages. Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi are good friends. If this hatred is resolved, or faded, his relationship with Wu Hongyi will remain. The more evil Xia Yu is, the greater the benefit to Wu Hongyi. If Wu Hongyi really lived up to his expectations and eventually became the pillar of the Wu family, then the benefit to Wu Hongyi will be the benefit to the Wu family. Whether you are an enemy or a friend with Xia Yu, the negotiation at noon today is particularly important, and it can be said to be the only opportunity! It depends on how he chooses! Thinking about it this way, Wu Chengde could not help being careless! After correcting his mentality, Wu Chengde laughed, skipping the topic just now, and said to Wu Hongyi: "Hongyi, it''s getting late, let''s let someone serve the food first, let''s talk while eating." "Okay, Grandpa!" Wu Hongyi responded quickly. After a while, the well-prepared kitchen immediately began to serve dishes, and the exquisite dishes were brought up. Just looking at it from the outside was very appetizing. "Come on, you are welcome. The raw materials for these dishes are specially adjusted from all over the UK. They are definitely the top ingredients. How about the taste." Wu Chengde took the lead in moving his chopsticks and smiled kindly. "Then you have to taste it!" Xia Yu said with a look of interest, and then picked up the dish that Wu Chengde had picked up, but did not move any other dishes. Wu Chengde''s turbid eyes condensed, and he sighed secretly. Xia Yu was really cautious, and he was still guarding against him now, only moving his chopsticks. No way, in order to dispel Xia Yu''s doubts, he smiled and said: "Let''s go together, you are welcome!" After finishing , he took the lead in picking up another dish, and Wu Hongyi and the housekeeper A Fu, who were unaware, also moved their chopsticks together, so that the atmosphere was slightly warmer. As time passed, Xia Yu just immersed himself in eating vegetables and did not take the initiative to provoke the topic. It was Wu Chengde who wanted him, and Wu Chengde continued to be calm when he had the skills. But when the time was almost he would leave and board the plane. People, anyway, he planned to retaliate from the beginning. Wu Chengde was not in a hurry, but Wu Hongyi was anxious, the smile on his face became a little reluctant, and his eyes looked at his grandfather Wu Chengde from time to time. Seeing Wu Hongyi''s performance, Wu Chengde felt a little sad. The most promising person in the family is not as good as Xia Yu. If he goes, what will he fight against Xia Yu? In that case, let him make more plans for the family while this old man is still alive! I sighed that Xia Yu was really calm, and Wu Chengde felt that it was almost time to throw out dry goods. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and provoked the topic. Chapter 279: 10% equity "Mr. Xia, I heard that the prestigious Jiuding Newspaper Company in Xiangjiang and even in Southeast Asia is a company under yours. It sits on the position of the industry hegemon at a young age. The achievements make my old man embarrassed!" Wu Chengde provoked the topic and said with emotion. "Yeah, Xia Yu, you don''t know. After I learned about your business, I was shocked and speechless. Compared with you, I really want to find a place to get in." Wu Hongyi quickly answered the conversation, sighing with emotion, and had to say that this was really his inner thought. "Haha, little trouble, luck, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Xia Yu gave a haha, waved his hand humbly and said, but he was energetic secretly. His Jiuding Securities is also very dazzling, but Wu Chengde mentioned Jiuding Newspaper Company. There must be deep meaning, let''s look down! "Mr. Xia doesn''t need to be humble. In newspapers and magazines, you have already achieved the first place. In Xiangjiang''s words, you are the king of the media! The control of public opinion has been topped!" "but¡­¡­" As soon as Wu Chengde finished holding it, the conversation suddenly turned, which made Xia Yu frown. "The highlight is coming!" Xia Yu said inwardly. Even Wu Hongyi swallowed back what he wanted to say, and looked straight at his grandfather Wu Chengde, wanting to know what he wanted to say. "Your media sector is already very strong, but there is still a major omission, that is, the lack of TV stations, which I have to say is a pity." Wu Chengde said with a regretful expression, as if he was really thinking about Xia Yu. Xia Yu''s pupils shrank, and he was vigilant in his heart, pondering Wu Chengde''s intentions. Wu Chengde can''t talk nonsense, and finally brought the topic to this, there must be his abacus, let''s see what he says next. He still played Tai Chi and figured it out before responding. Xia Yu shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed: "Where is the TV station so easy, I can''t afford it, I still know myself." Xia Yu¡¯s expression was the same as the real one, but Wu Chengde didn¡¯t believe it. He sneered to himself, but said with a smile on his face: ¡°It happens that I have 10% of the shares in Xiangjiangli¡¯s TV. Someone wanted to find me a few days ago. Buy, I think you are a friend of Hony. You are just related to your career. You may need it, so you can keep it for the time being." Looking at Wu Chengde, who had a kindly smile on his face, like a kind old grandfather, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, hearing the hidden meaning in his words, and was uncertain in his heart. "Is it because HSBC leaked the news to let him know that I was going to buy Li TV? Or did he really own 10% of the shares by coincidence, as he said?" "Then why does he think I want to buy Li''s TV station? Or did he just mention it by accident?" Xia Yu thought secretly, his mind turned sharply. After thinking about it, Xia Yu eliminated the possibility of contingency. Seeing Wu Chengde''s smile, Xia Yu knew that he absolutely said that on purpose. That being the case, he really thinks that the 10% of Li''s TV station shares are useful to Xia Yu! Consider that the voice of London Li¡¯s owns 61% of the shares of Xiangjiang Li¡¯s TV, and the remaining 39% of the shares are scattered outside. It is not impossible to fall into the hands of the London Wujia 10%! HSBC Bank is now helping Xia Yu to acquire shares, and he has come into contact with the Wu family. With Wu Chengde''s thinking ability, it is not impossible to think of Xia Yu! However, these are not things that should be considered at this time. The focus is on Wu Chengde''s intention for the 10% of the shares. Xia Yu believes that Wu Chengde should not be a threat. This 10% of the shares may be used to resolve his and Wu Honglin''s hatred. Otherwise, since he has guessed that Xia Yu is acquiring, he should know that this 10% of the shares is not a threat to Xia Yu, because as long as Xia Yu has a controlling stake, the controlling majority shareholder wants to dilute the minority shareholders¡¯ equity. Simple things. And Xia Yu happened to own 72% of the equity, which was handed to him by HSBC these days. Without acquiring part, he immediately gave it to him. Xia Yu is already the controlling shareholder! So this is more likely to be a compensation. Sure enough, in the short time Xia Yu thought, when Wu Chengde had just finished speaking, Ah Fu, the housekeeper sitting next to him, took out a file bag from a bag behind him, and then handed it to Xia Yu with a smile. . Xia Yu looked at the housekeeper Ah Fu and then at Wu Chengde, just in time to see Wu Chengde smiling at him. "Mr. Xia might as well open it!" Xia Yu accepted it with a smile, opened it, took out the files inside, and recognized it at a glance. This is an equity transfer letter. Sharp-eyed, he immediately saw the name of Xiangjiangli''s TV, and he scanned it down ten lines at a glance. Although it was fast, some extremely critical things were found. "Xiangjiangli''s TV... 10% equity... transferred to (Party B) Xia Yu... the price is ¡ê1?" Seeing the final transfer price, Xia Yu couldn''t help frowning and looked up at Wu Chengde. Seeing Xia Yu looking at him, Wu Chengde smiled and said, "Is Mr. Xia satisfied?" Xia Yu retracted his gaze, chuckled, slowly put the equity transfer book back into the file bag, shook his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Wu is really generous, admire! Admire it!" At this time, 10% of the shares of Xiangjiang Li TV were valued at 8-10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the exchange rate was about 1 million pounds. Now Wu Chengde has taken out a million pounds lightly, and he wants to explain to Xia Yu. It is not a big deal. You must know that the purchasing power of one million pounds in this era will be tenfold in future generations. It is not a problem! And considering that it is not money, but the equity of Li TV, which is very useful for Xia Yu, then the weight of Wu Chengde''s compensation has to go up! "It seems that Old Man Wu really wants to reconcile with me, I can''t think of it!" "But just such a 10% share is worth 1 million pounds. To me now, it doesn''t seem so important. Old Man Wu didn''t expect me to be so rich now. He miscalculated!" Xia Yu sneered. Argentina''s "Tango Legion" won the World Cup, and Xia Yu also became rich overnight, earning more and more money than a few days ago! Although Xia Yu still has no statistics because the money is still being put into the account one after another, but even if he estimates that this World Cup, he will get a total of at least one billion pounds in total, which is equivalent to at least one billion Hong Kong dollars. It''s time to make a detailed statistics. With so much money Xia Yu certainly swelled. This one million pounds of equity, naturally, he didn''t care about it. With rich wealth and a thick waist, Xia Yu''s spirit and confidence are naturally high! But this is no wonder Wu Chengde, after all, Xia Yu''s gambling is too secret, how could Wu Chengde know that the young man sitting in front of him is so rich! Since Wu Honglin wanted to make money and kill him before, if it weren''t for Li Wuming, Xia Yu would have really gone to the west. Naturally, this kind of enmity could not be solved by 10% equity. His Xia Yu''s life is not so worthless! The fate of the Wu family is more than this million pounds! It is impossible to want this 10% of Li''s equity to send him away! But since Wu Chengde bowed his head, he also wanted to give Wu Hongyi a face, and there was no need to push Wu Chengde into anxiousness! How to grab more benefits is what a qualified capitalist should do! Chapter 280: Wisdom (2 in 1 large) "Master Wu, this thing is good, but it''s a pity to hold it hot!" "What''s more, I really haven''t thought about getting involved in the TV industry, and it''s useless for me!" Xia Yu put the document bag containing the equity transfer agreement on the table and said with regret. Anyway, he has money now, this 10% of the shares is irrelevant. After the acquisition of Li¡¯s TV station, he will definitely inject capital. If the Wu family holds this equity, he will follow it if he has the ability. Xia Yu has a way. Renovate the Wu family! Moreover, the acquisition of a TV station is still a secret after all. Even if the acquisition is completed, Xia Yu will still have to hide for a while before taking any action. Naturally, he does not want others to know, especially the Wu family who has grievances! Therefore, Xia Yu''s refusal attitude really made Wu Chengde frowned, and he was surprised and wondered if he had guessed wrong. "Is it not he who wants to buy Li''s TV station?" Wu Chengde carefully looked at Xia Yu''s expression and found that he was really rejecting, rather than rejecting it. This attitude made Wu Chengde a little uncertain. "Or does he think the price I gave is small?" "He shouldn''t be a stupid person. He should have guessed the nature of this negotiation. Now that he is calm and relaxed, is it because he has a back hand and is confident enough?" Wu Chengde thought of a lot of things in his mind for a moment. Suddenly he thought of Xia Yu coming so late, and Wu Hongyi didn¡¯t find him at the beginning. So it is very likely that Xia Yu did something early in the morning, which led to Xia Yu. His attitude now exceeded his expectations. "Damn, it''s too late to check now." Wu Chengde frowned slightly, feeling a bit tricky. Because of the lack of information, he couldn''t grasp the strength. Not only Wu Chengde frowned, but even the housekeeper A Fu beside him and Wu Hongyi on the other side couldn''t help frowning. The others felt that the atmosphere was not right, and stopped picking up food, quietly watching. Wu Hongyi looked at Xia Yu and his grandfather, and from time to time he looked at the files on the desktop. He was curious about what was in the file bag and why Xia Yu was not satisfied. It is a pity that he is not easy to intervene in this matter. He can only pray for a good result in the end. "Fortunately, I have done a lot of preparations. In that case, take it out!" Wu Chengde secretly said in his heart and made up his mind. After thinking about it, Wu Chengde laughed and shattered the gradually dignified atmosphere. "Mr. Xia, my Wu family''s business is in the UK. In London, we have not set foot in the television industry. This 10% of the shares is useless, just as a meeting ceremony." Without waiting for Xia Yu to refuse again, Wu Chengde continued: "I heard that you are not only a media magnate, but also a well-known stock **** in Xiangjiang. Your strength is second to none in the financial industry. I think you will be interested in this thing." "Afu, show things to Mr. Xia." Wu Chengde said to the butler Ah Fu. "Ok!" Butler Ah Fu responded softly, then took out two document bags from another location in the bag and handed them to Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, please see!" Xia Yu took it, took a look at Wu Chengde and the housekeeper A Fu, then lowered his eyebrows to look at the file bag, smiled, and opened. In the first document, the name on it made Xia Yu''s pupils shrink, and it turned out to be "Jianhe Insurance"! How could Jardine Insurance Xia Yu not know, but one of the core companies of the Jardine Consortium has already been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with a total market value of about 500 million Hong Kong dollars. The market value of 500 million is already very high, mainly because the market has been in a trough in the past two years. If in a few years, Jardine Insurance will have a market value of several billion Hong Kong dollars. Looking down again, when Xia Yu saw the total 6% equity and the transfer price of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, he quickly became active. Thirty million Hong Kong dollars is just a par, and there is no premium. If you normally want to acquire so many stocks in the external market, there is no such thing as 40 million Hong Kong dollars, let alone whether it can be acquired is a question. After all, Jardine Insurance is the money of the major companies of the Jardine Consortium. One of the bags. "Unexpectedly, Old Man Wu actually owns Jardine Insurance. It seems that it is not only Wu Hongyi, but Wu Chengde has also been coveting the Jardine Consortium, otherwise he would not secretly acquire Jardine Insurance shares. After all, one is in Xiangjiang and the other is in London. , Totally unnecessary!" "But what does it mean that he wants to sell to me now?" Xia Yu pondered to himself. "Master Wu, you surprised me twice in this short time. It really is a big deal. It''s a pity that I don''t have so much money!" Xia Yu said with emotion, there is a pretense, and part of it comes from the heart. "Haha, Mr. Xia, don''t worry, first look at the second document." Seeing Xia Yu''s expression, Wu Chengde laughed and felt a lot more relaxed, as if he was happy that he had recovered some face. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Wu Chengde''s expression for a while, then silently nodded and opened the second document. "It turned out to be a loan contract?" Xia Yu was a little surprised, and then continued to look down, the more surprised he looked. This loan contract is very interesting. It is also an unfinished contract. The loan amount is 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the collateral is the 6% equity of Jardine Insurance. The lending bank is Wujia Huashang Bank. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is interest-free for three years. If the loan is not repaid after three years, Huashang Bank has the right to terminate the contract and take the stock as collateral. At the last lender, the name was empty, and the meaning was obvious, it was signed for Xia Yu. Seeing this, if Xia Yu still doesn''t understand, then really don''t have to mess around! These two contracts are bundled contracts, and they are signed at the same time, and the one signed separately has no effect. Xia Yu''s face unknowingly showed a look of emotion. This time he really didn''t have any acting elements, which was indeed too unexpected. He didn''t expect Wu Chengde to have this kind of operation. It was too intimate. In order to give this 6% of the equity to Xia Yu, and to solve the funding problem, he only had to sign. Unexpectedly! "Mr. Xia, are you satisfied?" Wu Chengde said with a smile. Xia Yu shook his head slightly and smiled, without speaking. satisfaction? How can you be dissatisfied? This cake is so tempting, so tempting that he doesn''t even know whether to eat it or not! There must be a calculation here! However, Xia Yu looked down at the equity transfer contract again, and he did have an urge to take it down! He will definitely complete the Grand Slam in the financial industry by then. Now that there are securities and funds, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. can also do futures by then, just short of the bank with the largest share in the financial market and the second insurance. The bank will talk about it later, Xia Yu has his own plan. But with insurance, it is really troublesome to enter. But if you get the 6% of Jardine Insurance''s shares, then if you get such a powerful ticket, Xia Yu has a lot of room to operate! What''s more, Jardine Insurance is one of the core enterprises of the Jardine Consortium, and its status is very important. He happened to have an antagonism with Jardine. He is ready to go back and fight with Jardine. Once I find an opportunity, can I grab Jardine Insurance? Thinking of this possibility, Xia Yu''s heart became fierce and couldn''t help pursing his lips. Have a grudge against Jardine? At this moment, Xia Yu cleared his mind and thought of a possibility. Wouldn''t Wu Chengde just calculate it here? Give him 6% of Jardine Insurance''s stock, and then he and the Wu family will settle their grievances. With Xia Yu''s character, he might actually be tempted to acquire the 6% equity of Jardine Insurance. He originally had hatred with the Keswick family, and the hatred will only grow deeper. Reminiscent of the entanglement between Wu Jia and Yihe, as well as the problems left over from history, Wu Chengde also has the taste of using Xia Yu as a gunman. The more I think about it, the more Xia Yu thinks it is possible! "Sure enough, sugar-coated cannonballs!" Xia Yu murmured in his heart. But thinking of this, Xia Yu was more relieved, even if the Wu family used him as a gunman, he did it, after all, this bait is indeed tempting! Let''s eat this sugar-coated first, and watch while walking. If Wu Chengde wants to take advantage of him, or calculate him, he will call it back then! "Master Wu, you have achieved this level. If I don''t agree, I would be too ignorant..." Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wu Chengde laughed, knowing that Xia Yu agreed to wipe out the grievances with the Wu family. Wu Hongyi, who was on the side, also laughed, and finally let go of his heart, knowing that the negotiation was done, Xia Yu and the Wu family''s hatred understood, as for Wu Honglin, the Wu family would naturally deal with it again. Wu Honglin is so concerned about it, not for the **** of Wu Honglin, but to resolve the grievances between Xia Yu and the Wu family. After all, Wu Hongyi can¡¯t get rid of his identity as one of the heirs of the Wu family and will naturally be implicated in the Wu family. . Now that the grievances between the Wu family and Xia Yu are resolved, he does not need to be caught in the middle. It is good for him and the Wu family, and he is naturally happy. "Mr. Xia, please!" At this time, the butler Ah Fu took out a pen and handed it to Xia Yu, Wu Chengde said. "Thank you!" Xia Yu took the pen, signed all three documents, and then took out the other part of the loan contract and handed it over. The housekeeper Afu immediately took it and put it away. Then, Xia Yu also put away these three documents. Seeing Xia Yu packed up, Wu Chengde raised his glass and said with a smile. "Haha! Come, Mr. Xia, you will be our partner of Huashang Bank in the future! Happy cooperation!" Seeing that Wu Chengde found this spot to drink, Xia Yu smiled and raised his glass in a face. Next, the atmosphere became very good, and the tabletop was in a mess. When they were leaving the table, after a few words with Xia Yu, Wu Chengde left first, leaving behind the butler Afu. Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi were a little strange. At this time, the butler Ah Fu stopped Wu Hongyi, took out two documents from his bag and handed them to him again, and said kindly: "Second young master, this is what the master asked me to give to you, originally from your father. It¡¯s your house, and the master will take care of it. Now that you have finally grown up, it¡¯s time to hand it over to you." "Master asked me to tell you that you have made a good friend, ask him for advice if there is nothing to do, don''t let him down! Don''t lose your father''s face!" "I go first!" Throwing the file into Wu Hongyi''s hand with a dazed face, the butler Ah Fu patted him on the shoulder, then smiled at Xia Yu and walked outside. After Wu Hongyi recovered, he immediately opened the two file pockets. When he saw the two things inside, he was shocked and cried out, "How could it be this?" When Xia Yu heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at it. When he saw what was on it, his eyes widened, also very surprised. It turned out that 10% of Jardine Insurance and 15% of China Commercial Bank were given to Wu Hongyi! Seeing Wu Hongyi''s dumb face, Xia Yu suddenly walked to the window to look downstairs, just in time to see Wu Chengde looking up and looking upstairs. The two looked at each other, Wu Chengde also showed a smile, but this smile looked a little bit Meaningful. "It''s been calculated! This old fox!" Xia Yu cursed inwardly. He defended for so long, but he didn''t expect that he would still do it. He said that how could Wu Chengde take out 6% of Jardine Insurance''s shares so kindly, and have to ask the Chinese Commercial Bank to loan him to buy stocks in such a hassle, and he did not prevent him from throwing the cannonball back after eating sugar. Before, Xia Yu was shocked and hesitated about whether to eat. If he knew his calculations, he promised to eat with peace of mind, without any hesitation, and he had to take a little bit more! But even though it was calculated, Xia Yu cursed secretly in his heart. After all, Wu Chengde was out of blood after calculation, and this calculation would not cause Xia Yu to lose anything, at most it would be unhappy. Seeing these two shares of Wu Hongyi, Xia Yu doesn¡¯t know yet. Wu Chengde is dependent on him. He not only wants to resolve the grievances between Xia Yu and the Wu family, but also goes a step further and turns the enemy into a friend. It''s not too spicy! Xia Yu has 6% equity in Jardine, while Wu Hongyi has 10% equity, which was left to him by his father. It is difficult to expect him to sell. Xia Yu will not ask Wu Hongyi to buy as long as he has a conscience. . With the equity of Jardine Insurance, the relationship between Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi will have an interest chain to maintain and will go further. And Wu Chengde must have considered Xia Yu''s ability in the financial industry, and he is still thinking about the future. Wu Chengde has been alive in the past few years. The Wu family wants to fight Jardine and resolve historical grievances. It is impossible for Wu Huachang and Wu Honglin, even Wu Hongyi. But if Xia Yu will take action against the Jardine Consortium one day, he will definitely bring Wu Hongyi with him. At that time, Wu Hongyi will have the opportunity to ride Xia Yu¡¯s ride and lie down to win, and even chew more things to strengthen the Wu family. . But in this way, Wu Hongyi will become Xia Yu''s vassal, which is not good for the Wu family. Therefore, Wu Chengde has another chain to balance, and that is Huashang Bank. In addition to Jardine Insurance, Xia Yu is now a customer of Huashang Bank, and now Wu Hongyi has become a major shareholder of Huashang Bank. In terms of business status, it will be a bit higher than Xia Yu. Not only did he maintain his relationship with Xia Yu, he tied it more firmly, but also improved Wu Hongyi''s status. So anyway, Wu Chengde''s calculations are for Wu Hongyi and even Wu''s future. As a friend of Wu Hongyi, Xia Yu naturally has no choice but to get angry. Even Xia Yu still has some touches in his heart. This old man Wu is too gambling, and he is too dear to him, making it clear that he wants to use Xia Yu as the person who cares for the lonely, and he is still forced to arrange! Did he recognize that Xia Yu was the kind of person who valued love and righteousness? Wouldn''t you eat Wu Hongyi? Or is this his calculation? Make him feel guilty, will he help Wu Hongyi more diligently? Wisdom! Well calculated! "Hongyi, you have a good grandpa!" Xia Yu patted Wu Hongyi on the shoulder and said with emotion. In any case, Wu Chengde is so kind to Wu Hongyi, his grandson, and he has tried his best for him! "I know!" Wu Hongyi''s eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he nodded heavily. "Grandpa, I understand your good intentions, I will not let you down, I will definitely revitalize the Wu family!" Wu Hongyi clenched his fist tightly and muttered to himself firmly. "Xia Yu, please give me more advice in the future!" Wu Hongyi looked at Xia Yu with a red eye and solemnly stretched out his hand and said. Xia Yu smiled bitterly, Wu Hongyi was indeed a smart man, and he also figured out Wu Chengde''s intentions, and now he can grasp it. But in any case, Wu Hongyi is indeed a very worthy friend. Although he looks immature in Xia Yu''s eyes, he has good brains and abilities, and is a friend worthy of deepening. What''s more, Xia Yu also needs a reliable friend in London and even the United Kingdom, so that he can handle things easily in the future, and the Wu family just has this strength! "Good friends forever!" Xia Yu held Wu Hongyi''s hand and said with a shake. Upon hearing this, Wu Hongyi smiled from the heart. It was said that Wu Chengde and the butler Ah Fu were sitting side by side in a car heading north of London. Wu Chengde seemed a little surprised and didn''t know what he was thinking. After a while, he came back to his senses, looked at Ah Fu, the butler, and said, "A Fu, did you say I did this right or wrong?" "Master, what you did is definitely right. You have never missed a human vision!" Butler Ah Fu said seriously. "Hope..." Wu Chengde sighed, then stopped speaking. "Hongyi, Grandpa is also forced to help you grow up with the help of outsiders. I hope you can understand Grandpa''s good intentions and don''t let Grandpa disappointed..." Wu Chengde murmured in his heart. ... Because the grievances with the Wu family have been resolved, then Xia Yu''s preparations will naturally be unnecessary, and he does not need to rush away immediately. It¡¯s better to track the gambling income first, then the equity issue, and finally the matter with Wu Hongyi. Xia Yu must thank Wu Hongyi well. After all, without him, he would not get 10% of Li TV shares, and 6% of Jardine''s shares. In addition, coupled with the 72% of Li TV¡¯s equity that he acquired before, Xia Yu already has 82% of the equity in his hand, and the remaining 18% of the equity can complete 100% of the holding. He will definitely be able to do more in London. Get the shares quickly, so you can feel more at ease. After all, it¡¯s safe to drop the bag! Soon, two days passed in a flash, and Xia Yu finally got everything done. At London Heathrow International Airport, Xia Yu and his party were with Wu Hongyi. "Hongyi, it''s getting late. UU Reading will deliver it here. Let''s go first. If you have time to come to Xiangjiang, you must call in advance to inform." Xia Yu said to Wu Hongyi. "I certainly will!" Wu Hongyi smiled and nodded. "Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" Waved to Xia Yu, Wu Hongyi sighed with emotion when he saw Xia Yu entering the airport terminal. Li Hongchang, standing beside him, said: "Master, let''s go back! There is still business waiting for you to talk about! Don''t let the master down!" "Well, let''s go!" Wu Hongyi said softly, the whole person is much calmer and more cheerful than before, as if he has changed. After speaking, Wu Hongyi got into the car, his fists slowly clenched, and his eyes became firm. Chapter 281: Brother Ma 0 Jun The huge fuselage of the Boeing plane slowly landed at the Hong Kong Qi Tak International Airport. After a while, Xia Yu and his party walked out of the VIP channel. Yan Wenhan and Ma Tengdong, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Xia Yu immediately after seeing Xia Yu. It''s just that when they saw Xia Yu holding Li Qian''s hand, Yan Wenhan and others all shrank their pupils, and their hearts rolled over. "It seems that my attitude will become respectful in the future!" Yan Wenhan and others exchanged eye contact, and then accelerated their pace again. "Boss! Welcome back!" "Haha, I just asked you to send a car over, why did you come here in person?" Xia Yu said with a smile, although she said so, she was in a good mood. Yan Wenhan and others all smiled and did not answer. "Let''s go, don''t stand and watch." Seeing people stopping around to watch, Xia Yu frowned and said, before leading everyone to a row of cars. Immediately afterwards, the all-black Mercedes-Benz started and drove away from Kai Tak International Airport. Soon, the cars diverted, and Yan Wenhan and others drove two cars and left, first to return to their respective posts. Xia Yu and others went home separately. "Cici, do you live here?" When he came to a private house, after Xia Yu got off the car, he looked up at the low building, its dilapidated appearance, and some wandering residents nearby. These scenes made him frown and looked at Li Qian and asked. "Well! I just moved here not long." Li Qian nodded softly in response. "Don''t live here, do you still need anything upstairs? Just take it now. I will arrange for you to live in a hotel and move to a new house in two days." Xia Yu made a decision directly, and did not give Li Qian a chance to refuse. Since Li Qian is his woman now, it is naturally impossible to live here anymore, and he dare not rest assured. One more thing, he and Li Qian are now in a warming up period, and of course she cannot always be separated from him. What''s more, he hugged Li Qian to sleep every day, just like eating the delicacies of mountains and seas, how can he still swallow pickles? It must be uncomfortable without Li Qian by his side! Although Xia Yu''s words were a bit tough, Li Qian was sweet in her heart. Knowing that this was Xia Yu''s concern for her, she obediently nodded and said, "Well, I listen to you." "There are some things on it that are important to me." Li Qian said, looking at Xia Yu with questioning eyes. "Let''s go, let''s go up together." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took Yan Shining and Li Mingwu and walked upstairs. At the door of Room 306, Li Qian took out the key and opened the door. Xia Yu followed in, leaving Li Wuming and three others waiting outside the door. Not long after Xia Yu and others entered, the young man named Ma Qianjun came back from the outside and saw the car parked under the dormitory building. His eyes condensed. When he looked at the familiar license plate, his brows couldn''t help but frowned. Without any hesitation, he quickly ran into the house, and then went upstairs in three steps in two steps. When he came to the third floor, he saw the three Yan Shining standing in the aisle and the door of Room 306 that had been closed for more than 20 days and finally opened. While he was delighted, he had a bad feeling in his heart. "Master, murderous!" Just when Ma Qianjun appeared from the stairway, Li Wuming felt it. He looked towards the stairway suddenly. When he saw Ma Qianjun, his muscles were instantly tense, staring at him sharply, and muttering softly. Without Li Wuming''s reminder, Yan Shining could feel it. He also energized him and stared at Ma Qianjun who was walking by. There was no way to hide between the masters, Ma Qianjun walked over pretending to be nonchalant, but actually raised his mind every step he took. Of course, Ma Qianjun knew the three of Li Wuming. He hadn''t waited for more than 20 days in vain. He had been collecting information every day, especially about Xia Yu, and of course he recognized Yan Shining and others. However, he did not show it. If it did, it would only arouse the vigilance of Li Wuming and others. Maybe a fight would break out. This is not what he wants. What he wants to see most now is his younger sister! Ma Qianjun showed a harmless smile. He walked in front of Li Wuming. When he passed room 306, he wanted to look inside, but the tall body of Yan Shining blocked most of his sight at the door, and he didn''t see it at all. Li Qian, this disappointed him very much. Although he wanted to go in, Yan Shining''s attitude was very obvious, as long as he dared to make a move, he immediately violent. He smiled kindly, then took out the key and opened the door of 307 and walked in. Seeing this, Yan Shining and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but their spirits were still highly concentrated, observing movements at any time. After a while, Xia Yu helped Li Qian pack up his things and was about to leave. As if hearing the movement, Ma Qianjun also walked out of room 307, just in time to see Xia Yu and Li Qian. Suddenly an outsider appeared, which immediately attracted the attention of Xia Yu and Li Qian, but after seeing the person coming out of Room 307, Xia Yu thought it was Li Qian''s neighbor and smiled at him and nodded. Ma Qianjun also smiled and nodded, but looked at Li Qian, who looked at him suspiciously. It''s a pity that before he could speak, Xia Yu took Li Qian''s hand and said, "Cissy, let''s go." "Ok!" Li Qian said obediently, and then ignored Ma Qianjun, a neighbor who suddenly appeared, and followed Xia Yu to leave in the direction of the stairs. The nickname between Xia Yu and Li Qian and the hand held by them caught Ma Qianjun off guard. The worst situation really happened. His sister was harmed by Xia Yu! Ma Qianjun was furious and wanted to kill, but rationally told him that he could not do it. Just because Li Wuming and Yan Shining were there, he was likely to be passive. He was not afraid of one person, and he was not absolutely sure if two people dealt with him. More importantly, Li Qian didn¡¯t know his elder brother at all. If he violent, he would only scare Li Qian. At that time, the difficulty of recognizing this sister would increase exponentially, which he would not like to see. . "Cici, do you know that person?" "I don''t know, before I went abroad, that room hadn''t been rented out yet, so I should have moved in after I went abroad..." "Oh, it doesn''t matter, you won''t live here anymore..." ... The faintly sounding dialogue in the stairwell reached Ma Qianjun''s ears, his teeth clenched, his face bursting with bruises, very scary. "boom!" Finally unbearable, Ma Qianjun hit the wall with a fist and made a muffled noise. Just listening to the sound will make people take a breath, but Ma Qianjun doesn''t seem to notice it. "Son of a bitch!" Ma Qianjun took a deep breath and paused every word. He endured the humiliation for so many years finally avenged his hatred, and eagerly wanted to recognize his sister, but who knew it, he ran away. Now I finally waited until my sister came back. He hadn''t started his acquaintance plan, but found out that my sister had become Xia Yu''s person, and she would move away the first time we met. He hadn''t said a word to Li Qian! As soon as Li Qian moved out, all of his original plans were dead, and it would be more difficult to get acquainted with his sister. This is not what annoys him the most. What he can''t stand the most is that according to his observation, his sister Li Qian obviously had **** with Xia Yu, and his first feeling was that her sister was cheated by Xia Yu! And his brother, for all kinds of considerations, could only endure, this kind of stubbornness and irritation made him furious, and a tyrannical mood rushed to his brain. "Huh...huh..." "Oh...hhhhhh..." Ma Qianjun pressed his fist against the strong, his eyes became blood-red, and the sound of rapid breathing intertwined with the sound of grinding his teeth, which seemed a bit scary. Chapter 282: Start to build a security system Later, Xia Yu went to a hotel close to the company and helped Li Qian open a luxurious guest room. After Li Qian settled down, he took Yan Shining and the others back. I didn''t take Li Qian back to see his parents because Xia Yu thought it was not time yet, and when he took it home, the family was uncomfortable living together, and Li Qian would definitely be uncomfortable. So Xia Yu has decided to buy a house for Li Qian in the past two days, and let him have a private space, even if it is understood as Jinwu Zangjiao. Back home, the joyful scenes are normal, so I won''t mention them for the time being. Later, Xia Yu called Yan Shining and Li Wuming to the balcony upstairs. Xia Yu admired the surrounding scenery, exhaled and asked faintly: "Big Brother Yan, you said that person was dangerous?" In the car, because Li Qian was there, after Yan Shining reminded him, Xia Yu just nodded to show that he knew, and did not ask too much to avoid worrying Li Qian, after all, that person was her neighbor. Now that he is going home, Xia Yu certainly needs to figure it out. The situation is a bit tense now, and Xia Yu must guard against any threatening people around him. "Yes, the evil spirit on that person is very strong, and there are definitely not a few confessions in his hand, and that person is definitely a master." "Yes!" Yan Shining said with a solemn expression, and Li Wuming followed with affirmation. Xia Yu frowned slightly and thought. "Boss, I think that person might be here for Miss Li." Yan Shining hesitated for a while, then expressed his instinct. Because before, he obviously felt that when Ma Qianjun looked into the house, he seemed to be looking for something. Xia Yu went there for the first time, so it was definitely not Xia Yu. Then there was only one possibility, which was to find Li Qian. Hearing this, Xia Yu frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yan Shining''s judgment was correct. "It seems that if we try to buy the house this afternoon and move in tomorrow, living in a hotel is still risky." Xia Yu said inwardly. But now that Li Qian has moved in, one night should be no problem. After all, Xiangjiang is so big, it is impossible to find out all night. At this time, Xia Yu''s eyes saw the security guard wandering nearby, who was from his company. After the accident at night, he immediately called back and sent someone to protect the safety of his family. But when I think about it now, the manpower is indeed too small, some are stretched, and the force must be expanded. After looking at Yan Shining, and then at Li Wuming, the security forces around him were enough, or even redundant, and he made a decision in his heart. Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining and said, "Brother Yan, my security system is still too weak. It must be expanded several times. Are you good at personnel training?" Although Yan Shining was a little surprised, he immediately nodded and said: "I can train. I used to be an instructor in the army, so as long as I give people to me, whether it is firearms or unarmed ability, or other things, I can teach." Xia Yu showed a delighted expression and said, "Brother Yan, I am pleased to recruit and train people!" "You tell me everything you need to use, such as venue equipment, will be provided as soon as possible! I only have two requirements, that is, quantity and quality!" "Guaranteed to complete the task!" Yan Shining stood up straight and responded. Just when Yan Shining wanted to ask about Xia Yu''s safety, he saw Xia Yu turning his head to look at Li Wuming: "Brother Li, my safety is up to you!" "no problem!" A smile appeared on Li Wuming''s cold face, and he said categorically. When Xia Yu heard the words, he immediately relaxed. I have to say that Li Wuming''s several performances really convinced Xia Yu, and he was relieved to entrust his safety to him. After dinner at noon, Xia Yu sent Li Wuming home first, and also said hello to Li Chunqiu by the way. After that, he took Yan Shining to the real estate agency and bought a similar existing house in the neighbourhood of Kowloon Tong. It''s not that Xia Yu can''t afford a villa, but for convenience and other considerations. After buying, he immediately arranged for people to buy all kinds of furniture and daily necessities, and waited for Li Qian to live in the next day. Busy and busy, after dealing with trivial matters, the day time passed. In the evening, Xia Yu went to Xia Jun and Xia Lei to get together. Early the next morning, Xia Yu didn''t eat breakfast either. After receiving Li Qian, he ate breakfast and went to Jiuding Newspaper Company. It has been more than 20 days since I left Xiangjiang. Although the phone call has not been interrupted, there must be many things that have not been reported. He still needs to know it now before he can know it. Xia Yu has already arranged the four companies, starting from Jiuding Newspaper Company, and going one by one in the order of establishment. "Hi boss!" ... "Well, good morning everyone!" As soon as Xia Yu showed up with Li Qian, he was seen by the sharp-eyed front desk staff. He immediately greeted Xia Yu respectfully, which immediately caused a chain reaction. All the nearby employees greeted Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response. "Boss! You are here!" Yan Wenhan walked out and said respectfully. "Well, get the materials ready and come to my office!" Xia Yu said without stopping. After he sat down for a while, Yan Wenhan took the materials and came over. "Sit down and talk!" "Cici, make me a tea!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he picked up the material and turned it over. He looked very carefully, for fear of missing or misreading. After all, Jiuding Newspaper Company is his foundation, and his boss must do anything. It''s all clear. Xia Yu has set a system from the beginning. The company must have a dedicated person responsible for recording and summarizing the weekly work progress. Now with the expansion of the company, it has long been expanded into an office, and it is now under the jurisdiction of Yan Wenhan. As time passed slowly, Xia Yu took a sip of tea from time to time, and a smile appeared on his face unknowingly. Today is June 29th, and July will enter the day after tomorrow. I have left Xiangjiang for more than 20 days, but in the past 20 days, the company is still operating at a high speed, and the speed of development is amazing! The sales volume of the most influential "Jiuding Daily" has already broken one million copies! And it was reached three days after Xia Yu left Xiangjiang, and now the latest sales volume is 1.1 million copies. This increase is mainly due to the integration of the sales channels of Nanyang Commercial Daily, Sin Chew Daily and South China Morning Post, as well as the credibility of these newspapers for promotion. Therefore, most of the new users It is from Southeast Asia. The growth of "Fengyun Daily" did not slow down. Originally, "Fengyun Daily" was in a period of rapid growth, and its daily growth rate was astonishing than that of "Jiuding Daily". Now the sales volume has just reached one million copies, which is yesterday''s sales! The high sales of Fengyun Daily also benefited from the outbreak of the Southeast Asian market! In addition to these two million-sized newspapers, the weekly magazine "Economy", the company''s largest financial source supplier, has sold one million copies. In a month, sales have increased by 120,000 copies! Suddenly hitting such a high sales is because last week, the two lists of "Economy" weekly have undergone great changes, causing a huge public sensation. Not only because of the expansion of the list, but also the top 500 list of Southeast Asia has appeared above the top 500 in Hong Kong. Even more because, the creator of "Economics" weekly magazine, Jiuding Newspaper Company has also made the list for an unprecedented, and the prestigious Jiuding Securities Company is also on the list! Needless to say, the influence and attention of these two companies are naturally on the list. Now they are suddenly on the list and many people are full of curiosity! Not to mention other people, even Xia Yu himself was very curious. Although this was instructed by him, he was far away in London and didn''t see the real thing. Although Yan Wenhan said a few words, he didn''t know the situation of other companies on the list, and of course there was no specific concept. Just curious, he didn''t hesitate, picked up the "Economy" weekly magazine that Yan Wenhan handed in with him, flipped it up, and quickly found the list. Chapter 283: Hong Kong Top 500 Enterprises First of all, Xia Yu saw the familiar Xiangjiang list, but now it is not the top 100 Xiangjiang enterprises, but has expanded to the top 500 Xiangjiang enterprises. Top 500 Hong Kong Enterprises Ranking 1. HeungKong Shanghai HSBC Bank Co., Ltd.: With a total market value of 13.07 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings Ltd., the largest registered bank in HeungKong, with 5,000 employees and more than 200 offices in Asia. , Holds 51% of the shares of Hang Seng Bank, holds... 2. Jardine Holdings, with a total market value of 9.68 billion Hong Kong dollars, owns Land Company, Dairy Company, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Jardine Insurance, Jardine Auto... 3.

Hutchison Whampoa, with a total market value of 6.01 billion Hong Kong dollars, owns Hutchison Port Co., Ltd., Hutchison Whampoa Properties Co., Ltd., Watsons... 5. Land Company, with a total market value of 4.78 billion Hong Kong dollars, is a company under Jardine Matheson... 6. Hang Seng Bank, with a total market value of 4.45 billion Hong Kong dollars, the second largest commercial bank in Hong Kong, owns... 7. Wheelock, with a total market value of 4.19 billion Hong Kong dollars... ... 15. Global Shipping Group: The total market value is 2.72 billion Hong Kong dollars... ... 23. Henderson Land Development: total valuation of 1.98 billion Hong Kong dollars, unlisted... 24. Sun Hung Kai Properties: total market value of 1.86 billion Hong Kong dollars... 26. Cheung Kong Holdings: The total market value is 1.81 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the company''s assets are 820 million... 27. New World Development: The total market value is 1.76 billion Hong Kong dollars... 28. Wharf: total market value of 1.63 billion Hong Kong dollars... ... 72. Jiuding Newspaper Company: Valued at 500 million Hong Kong dollars, its subsidiaries such as "Jiuding Daily", "Fengyun Daily", "Economic Weekly", and "Nanyang Business Daily" with millions of sales volume... are the most influential in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia The dominant paper media industry. ... 100. Jiuding Securities: The valuation is 250 million Hong Kong dollars and the assets under management reach 500 million Hong Kong dollars... ... 500. Shuixing Industrial, with a market value of 28 million Hong Kong dollars... After reading this list of companies, Xia Yu smiled inexplicably. The top 500 companies of Hong Kong and the 500th have a market value of 28 million Hong Kong dollars. The threshold is very high. This also shows the gradual prosperity of Hong Kong''s economy. Compared with the list in the first issue, after so long, the ranking of most companies has not changed much, but the market value has risen quite a bit. For example, HSBC, the number one bank, had a market value of only 12.28 billion Hong Kong dollars when it was listed in the first issue. It has now risen to a market value of 13.07 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 790 million Hong Kong dollars. Another example is Global Shipping Group, ranked 15th. The market value of the first issue was only 2.52 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now it has risen to 2.72 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 200 million Hong Kong dollars. The husband is even higher than HSBC. Of course, the biggest increase was Li Chaoren''s Cheung Kong Industrial Group, whose market value was only HK$1.27 billion when it was listed in the first phase, and the company''s total assets were only HK$680 million. But now, the company''s market value has reached 1.81 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of more than 30%, and the company''s total assets have reached 820 million Hong Kong dollars. Cheung Kong Holdings has become a dazzling star. However, considering that Cheung Kong Industrial swallowed Qingzhou Yingni Company, the asset rise is normal, and there are other factors that add to it, and it is not surprising that the market value is so high. Of course, it is impossible for all companies to rise, and some fall. For example, Hutchison Whampoa, although the ranking has not changed, but the market value has dropped significantly. When the first issue was on the list, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa was 6.24 billion Hong Kong dollars, but Hutchison Whampoa seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and it was getting deeper and deeper. Now the market value has fallen to 6.01 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is about to fall. Break the six billion mark. This is also why Shen Bi can''t help but find a good helm for Hutchison Whampoa! In the previous life, he was looking for Li Chaoren. Thanks to Xia Yu¡¯s assists in this life, Li Chaoren directly swallowed Qingzhou Yingni Company. His performance was even brighter than his previous life, and the development of the Yangtze River Industrial Group has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds. It is possible to find Li Chaoren to take over Hutchison Whampoa. Xia Yu has decided that although he does not intend to grab Hutchison Whampoa, he still has to make a fortune. One thing worth noting in the list is Wharf. The list did not introduce too much. This was Xia Yu''s intention. Moreover, the share price of Wharf has been secretly suppressed by Jiuding Securities. Therefore, even if most of the shares have been acquired and the stock price has become very sensitive, the market value is now hovering at HK$1.63 billion. The biggest change in this Xiangjiang 500 list is the sudden emergence of two new companies, and these two new companies have both entered the top 100 at once! It is the 72nd Jiuding Newspaper Company and the 100th Jiuding Securities Company! The 500 million valuation of Jiuding Newspaper Company seems to be very high. In fact, this is the result of Xia Yu''s suppression. Otherwise, according to Jiuding Newspaper Company''s theory of easily breaking through 100 million in a year of terrorist profits, coupled with the special status of the industry''s dominance, giving a P/E ratio of ten times is trivial, and it is no problem for a valuation to exceed one billion. However, Jiuding Newspaper has not announced its financial report. Even on the list, it lists some superficial things, and the deeper confidential data Tongtong has not been announced. The pressure is so low that Xia Yu does not want people to guess the profit of Jiuding Newspaper Company from the valuation. Jiuding Newspaper Company was suppressed, and Jiuding Securities Company could not escape Xia Yu''s clutches, and the suppression was even more severe. Apart from anything else, when Xia Yu left Xiangjiang, he calculated that the total assets of Jiuding Securities, including his own funds, had reached nearly 800 million Hong Kong dollars. But now it says that the assets under management have reached 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the discrepancy in this is huge. The most obvious one, the 285 million Hong Kong dollar secret account used to acquire Wharf stocks, certainly cannot be exposed. Another Xia Yu''s own funds of more than 100 million have also reduced the amount. It is in this case that the company''s total assets under management reach 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Assets under management are 500 million Hong Kong dollars, giving a valuation of 250 million, which is also very high. In addition to being on the top 500 HeungKong Enterprises, these two companies are still on the list even if they expand to Southeast Asia. On the list of the top 500 enterprises in Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong and Macao), Jiuding Newspaper Company ranked 199th, and Jiuding Securities Company ranked 385th. The ranking will be so low because this list includes the state-owned enterprises of Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia''s National Petroleum Corporation, which is now among the top 500 in the world. After reading the corporate rankings, Xia Yu continued to browse, intending to check the rich list. It seems that even under his severe squeeze, the assets on the bright side still helped him to climb the rich list. Just how many places do you rank in the end? What happened before and after? Xia Yu scanned from the beginning with some curiosity. Chapter 284: Named on the Hong Kong Rich List "Economy" Hong Kong Rich List! 1. The Keswick family: its industry is the Jardine Group, with family capital of HK$6.6 billion 2. Shi Yahuai''s family: its property is Swire Pacific, with family assets of 5.8 billion Hong Kong dollars ... 6. Bao Yugang: total assets of 2.55 billion Hong Kong dollars, under its subsidiaries are Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd., Global International Capital Co., Ltd., Lufeng International (Investment) Company... 7. The Qi De family: its business is Hutchison Whampoa, with family assets of 2.48 billion Hong Kong dollars... ... 25. Li Zhaoji: total assets of 1.69 billion Hong Kong dollars, he owns 75% of the shares of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd., and 90% of shares of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. (Infrastructure)... 26. Li Chaoren: total assets of 1.65 billion Hong Kong dollars, owns Cheung Kong Industrial Group... ... 100. Xia Yu: total assets of 170 million Hong Kong dollars, owns 10% of Jiuding Newspaper Company, 20% of Jiuding Securities Company, 10% of Jiuding Book Publishing Company, and 10% of Jiuding Animation. 101. The Deng Zhiang family, total assets of 160 million Hong Kong dollars... ... 500. Liu Feng, total assets of 10 million Hong Kong dollars... The top 100 of the rich list has not changed much. After being on this list, it will be difficult to get down under the big environment of Xiangjiang, unless the company is really in trouble, but the probability is really small. As the general economic situation of Hong Kong is on the rise, the stock market is a barometer of the local economy. Now that the stock market is rising, the assets of the wealthy and families have naturally risen. The biggest change should be Li Chaoren, whose total assets have risen by more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars, rushing to the 26th place, only 40 million Hong Kong dollars behind Li Zhaoji! "I happened to be ranked 100th?" Xia Yu couldn''t help touching his chin, his face showed the color of Noyu, and muttered to himself. With Xia Yu''s real net worth, ranking in the 100th place, it is definitely low, only 170 million Hong Kong dollars worth. How could this be possible? But this is what Xia Yu wants! He is a newly emerging rich man. Now his net worth of 170 million is already appalling. If he surpasses most of the established rich or wealthy families, it would be too eye-catching. Except for a little more talk and let others talk, he won''t get any benefit, but there will be more danger. Smart people who should know Xia Yu''s strength or those who have reached a level will naturally have a better attitude towards Xia Yu, and will not listen to the one-sided words of the rich list. People who shouldn''t know, or those who are not qualified to know, don''t need to let them know, let them just follow the announcement of the rich list. This kind of rich list is not like a corporate list, which has a strengthening effect on the company itself, but what can the rich list do? Let more people know that you have money? What''s the use if you know it? Xia Yu did not intend to show up, like Jumei Youpin and Chen Ou, or like Jack Ma, using himself as the marketing center to drive the development of the enterprise. He just wanted to avoid attracting more caring people as much as possible when he was weak, he wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and to leave more for himself. Therefore, the value of 170 million Hong Kong dollars was enough, and Yan Wenhan executed his orders well. It¡¯s a bit lower now, and there is still a little more room for growth. If Xia Yu¡¯s real net worth, plus more than one billion Hong Kong dollars earned from gambling, would not be a problem, it would not be a problem to rush to the top 20, but this is too conspicuous, too much! Just like Bao Yugang, who has been promoted from seventh to sixth, with total assets of 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, how could it be so small? There is definitely a lot of hiding, but there is no need to expose his old bottom. "It''s done well, I''m very satisfied! I''ll do it according to this scale in the future!" After Xia Yu looked at it again, he put down the "Economy" weekly and said with a satisfied smile at Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan smiled upon hearing the words, and said modestly again and again: "I remember it!" Putting aside the ranking matter, Xia Yu continued to look at the company''s situation in recent times. In addition to "Jiuding Daily", "Fengyun Daily" and "Economic Weekly", the company''s other newspapers are also developing very well. After the integration of distribution channels, the distribution channel strength of Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. has greatly increased. After the four major acquired newspapers including Nanyang Commercial Daily, Sin Chew Daily, Tiantian Daily and South China Morning Post are embedded in the channels, Of course, sales will take off. Coupled with Jiuding News Agency as the central engine, the quality of the four major newspapers has been sublimated. Finally, there are two giant platforms, "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily", to boost publicity. These advantages have made the sales of the four major newspapers soar. Nanyang Commercial Daily, which originally sold 110,000 copies a day, has now sold 180,000 copies a day! "Sin Chew Daily", which originally sold 100,000 copies per day, has now sold 170,000 copies per day! The South China Morning Post, which originally sold 110,000 copies a day, has now sold 200,000 copies a day! The daily sales volume of "Tiantian Daily", which originally sold 20,000 copies per day, has now reached 110,000 copies! "Tian Tian Daily" increased its sales by four and a half times. Of course, this was because "Tian Tian Daily" had a small base at the beginning. Now that the daily sales volume of 110,000 copies is considered a big newspaper in Hong Kong and Macau, the top ten is no problem! The English-language newspaper "South China Morning Post", because the content best fits the "Jiuding Daily", can be said to be an extension of the "Jiuding Daily" in the English field. The quality of newspaper articles is the highest. Once the revision was launched, it immediately received a huge welcome. Originally, many foreigners had heard of the famous name of "Jiuding Daily", but unfortunately the culture and language were not communicated. Many foreigners could not understand "Jiuding Daily". The newspaper "South China Morning Post", without cultural restrictions, was naturally popular. The sales of the newspaper rose the most, almost doubling. In general, these four newspapers were successful. Xia Yu spent 36.7 million to acquire these four newspapers. Now the value is at least 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu has made a lot of money! The stronger the stronger, the more resources Xia Yu has on hand, the stronger the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Company, the easier it is to do anything. It''s like playing a game. A full-scale large with a trumpet is naturally very difficult. Before reaching the bottleneck, the trumpet grows faster! With the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Company, the sales of these four newspapers are not at the peak. Jiuding Newspaper Company still has certain resources to digest it. I believe that the sales of these four newspapers will be higher and higher in the near future. Complete digestion and stabilize. After four newspapers, it is the most important Jiuding News Agency. After the fall of Sing Tao News Agency , the other colleagues who had not yet chosen finally realized that they had no choice. After other newspapers and media received the support of Jiuding News Agency and their quality has been greatly improved, the overall level of the entire industry has been improved to a certain extent, and their unchanged things are relatively backward. Forced by the situation, even if you don''t want to spend the money, in order to survive better, some colleagues can only pinch their noses and recognize that the money is spent! Therefore, the business of Jiuding News Agency has been carried out very smoothly. It has eaten most of the market share, and its dominance has been firmly held in hands! The next task of Jiuding News Agency is to stabilize the share that has been eaten, continue to expand abroad, expand influence and market, and then enter Southeast Asia, Taiwan Province, and the island country of South Korea, build a large rear, and then rush into the European and American markets. Have a real fight with those old news agencies! At that time, it is time to truly test the strength of Jiuding News Agency. The previous competition with Sing Tao News Agency can only be regarded as pediatrics! Not worth mentioning! Chapter 285: Gains from the London trip "Wenhan, I took a look. Generally speaking, the work is well done! Keep it up!" Xia Yu put down the watch in his hand and said with a satisfied smile to Yan Wenhan. Hearing Xia Yu''s affirmation, Yan Wenhan smiled happily, and quickly said modestly: "Thank you, the boss, for the praise, I will definitely continue to work hard." After speaking, Yan Wenhan showed a dazed expression and said, "Boss, there is one thing I want to report to you." "Go ahead!" Xia Yu leaned forward on the table with his arms crossed and looked at Yan Wenhan with scorching eyes. "Boss, it''s about Sing Tao News Corporation." As soon as Yan Wenhan finished speaking, Xia Yu raised his brows, thinking that he almost ignored this matter. Think about it carefully. Before leaving Hong Kong, Sing Tao News Group had announced the abolition of Sing Tao News Agency. After that, the four major newspapers that Jiuding News had just acquired, Sing Tao News Group¡¯s Sing Tao Daily and the English Standard. "It should be shocked by reason, and the situation is definitely not good. Xia Yu had been able to foretell the future of Sing Tao News Group before, so he didn''t put it in his eyes. Had it not been for Yan Wenhan in advance, Xia Yu might have overlooked it. But in any case, the only thing that can be regarded as a rival in Xiangjiang and even the Southeast Asian market is Sing Tao News Corporation, although this qualification is a bit reluctant. Now Yan Wenhan suddenly said that something about Sing Tao News Group needs to be reported. What unexpected situation did he get? "What happened to Sing Tao News Corporation?" Xia Yu''s spirit shook slightly and couldn''t help asking. "Boss, if this is true, it will be good for us and not good for Sing Tao News Corporation. There is a newspaper in a drawer on the table. You can pull it out and take a look." Yan Wenhan explained a little. Xia Yu pulled out the drawer on the right side of the desk and found that it was a newspaper, and then took it out. The **** headline on the front page made Xia Yu''s eyes stare slightly and immediately became interested. "Heavy! "Sing Tao Daily" suspected sales fraud! Advertisers are afraid of heavy losses!" Xia Yu opened the newspaper and read all the article, and couldn''t help frowning slightly. The tone used throughout this article is convincing, but there are no key pictures and data, etc., which makes people wonder whether the newspaper really got inside information or just gossip. After all, it is a third-rate tabloid, and Xia Yu really doesn''t believe it. Seeing Xia Yu''s expression, Yan Wenhan knew Xia Yu''s thoughts, and he immediately explained it. "Boss, it''s actually possible!" "Since you left Hong Kong, our four newspapers began to explode. At first, the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" fell steadily, but after less than five days of decline, the decline was gradually stopped. Occasionally there will be a day or two of sales increase, and I am puzzled. "After the people below gave me this newspaper yesterday, I didn''t believe that Sing Tao News Group would do such a thing at first, but thinking about their situation, the previous puzzles were explained, the more I thought about it. I feel that "Sing Tao Daily" sales are fraudulent." "I have now sent someone to investigate secretly, and I have also sent someone to contact this small newspaper to see if I can get the key information." After listening to Yan Wenhan''s report, Xia Yu was silent, thinking about the logic. According to what Yan Wenhan said, "Sing Tao Daily" might actually have fraudulent sales. For the strength of his own newspaper company, Xia Yu firmly believes that no one is an opponent. However, under this embarrassing situation, it is an abnormal thing that the "Sing Tao Daily" that has not changed, or regressed, can stabilize sales and occasionally increase sales. "By the way, it seems that the later generation of Sing Tao News Corporation''s "Apple Daily" had sales fraud, and even caused the "Apple Daily" to cease publication." Xia Yu suddenly thought of a news that later generations had seen on the Internet, and his face was stunned. What Xia Yu didn''t know was that the main person in charge of the later "Apple Daily", Yu Hang, the current publishing director of Sing Tao News Corporation, was the one who suggested to Hu Xian that the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" were fraudulent. "Since Shixingdao News Group dared to do this kind of thing, it is not impossible to do it ahead of time in a severe situation!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and thought. But how should this be handled? "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the desktop unconsciously, and his brain began to turn, thinking about the processing measures. Taking a glance at the newspaper on the desktop, Xia Yu looked at the newspaper''s name again, and finally he made a decision. "Wenhan, you continue to send people to investigate secretly. After the investigation is true, we will deal with the situation according to the situation. Before that, we should not make a statement. As it has not happened, some people will rush forward for us. We don''t need to ruin our reputation. ." Hearing Xia Yu''s decision, Yan Wenhan was very surprised, but he didn''t ask more, instead he nodded seriously and replied, "Understood!" Yan Wenhan didn¡¯t ask, Xia Yu took into account his feelings and made some explanations: ¡°Now that this matter has been exposed in third-rate tabloids, it will only be the beginning. If you continue to look down, there will be more and more The more newspapers get involved, the situation will continue to ferment. If there is really conclusive evidence, then there is no need for us to do it, and Sing Tao News Corporation will pay a heavy price." "Even if no evidence is available, it will have a serious impact on the credibility of Sing Tao Daily." "Hu Xian is a female generation after all. We are already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. If we get into trouble, even if this is true, even if we win, we will have a bad reputation. No need! We just need to watch it! " "Of course, if the situation changes by then, we have evidence in our hands, and we have another way to deal with it. The matter you arrange for a secret investigation will continue. If you get evidence, it depends on the situation!" "Okay, I know!" Yan Wenhan said in a daze, respectfully. Later, Xia Yu encouraged Yan Wenhan a few more words and then sent him away. Xia Yu should think carefully about what his specific gains from this trip to the UK are. First of all, I bought the Rubik''s Cube patent. Although it cost half a million US dollars, it is really worth it. It is definitely a profit! Afterwards, is a 30% stake in Rong Yip Hong, valued at ¡ê2.2 million. Then, Jardine Insurance owns 6% of the shares. Of course, in addition to the 6% shares, Xia Yu also owes 30 million Hong Kong dollars to China Commercial Bank. Then there is the TV station of Xiangjiangli. HSBC Bank is indeed very powerful, and its strength in acquisitions is amazing. Now all the shares of Li TV are in Xia Yu. Among them, 10% was sent by Wu Chengde, and the remaining 90% was acquired by HSBC. Including labor fees, Xia Yu gave a total of 85 million Hong Kong dollars to HSBC, and the money has been given to HSBC. Although the above gains are amazing, they have to step aside in front of the profit of gambling. Because the money earned from gambling is so amazing, finance has surpassed the one billion Hong Kong dollar mark. That is¡­¡­ Chapter 286: Rockefeller Consortium 160 million pounds! This is all the profit Xia Yu made in this gambling! According to the current exchange rate of one pound to 8.832 Hong Kong dollars, 160 million pounds is equal to 1.413 billion Hong Kong dollars! And this 1.413 billion Hong Kong dollars is still the net profit excluding the funds Xia Yu brought out. Xia Yu has already returned the funds that Xia Yu brought out before to the account of Jiuding Securities. Then I bought 85 million Hong Kong dollars from Li''s TV station, which was used for gambling money here, and 500,000 US dollars for the Rubik¡¯s Cube, which is equivalent to 960,000 Hong Kong dollars, and nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars were spent on buying a house, a car and spending. These expenses, Xia Yu will be included in the gambling capital later, the money previously withdrawn from Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was returned intact. As a result, now in the major accounts of Swiss banks, after the amount lying there is converted into Hong Kong dollars, there is only 1.317 billion Hong Kong dollars left. Coupled with Xia Yu''s previous hidden assets, his personal wealth has reached about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars after this gambling skyrocketing, which is enough for him to break into the top 20 of the rich list of Hong Kong! Of course, Xia Yu will definitely not be exposed, and exposure will only harm him or not! With such a large amount of funds now hidden, Xia Yu felt confident for a moment. Now if someone has a bad intention on him, and the enemy judges him according to the strength he has shown on the surface, then he will find that he has hit an iron plate. Xia Yu is fully capable of torturing the enemy ten or eight. back and forth. Although the surge in assets is worthy of joy, Xia Yu immediately recovered his calm after being happy for a while. The assets of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, if the real strength of all the rich and wealthy families in Xiangjiang Old Gate are counted, it may not be in the top 20. If you zoom in to the entire Southeast Asia, the top 50 will not make it! How is this worthy of pride and pride? What''s more, Xia Yu''s vision is different from others! The assets of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars seem to be a lot, but according to the current exchange rate of one US dollar to 4.6 Hong Kong dollars, it is only about 430 million US dollars. Is it more than $430 million? In the eyes of ordinary people, it is an astronomical figure, in the eyes of Xiangjiang giants, it is powerful, but if it is out of the small pond of Xiangjiang, it will appear weak and pitiful in the world. After all, Xia Yu has the memories of many elites and knows many secrets that are not known. In the later generations, among the ten largest consortia in the United States, which consortium controls the major companies combined, the assets have not reached more than one trillion US dollars? Don''t talk about the future generations of asset inflation, just talk about now, or before! In 1974, the Rockefeller Consortium once again surpassed the Morgan Consortium and became the top of the American consortium. What is the total amount of its assets? $330.5 billion! A shocking figure that will cause a tenth magnitude earthquake in the world! The California consortium, one of the lower-ranked Western consortia, had total assets of $167.1 billion in 1974. As for the first Citibank consortium above the California consortium? The Big Mac Morgan Consortium? Strength will only be stronger! And that was only a rough and secret statistics in 1974! Now in 1978, after so many years of development, the strength of these large consortia will only become stronger. If the total assets of the Rockefeller consortium now reach 360 billion US dollars, Xia Yu will definitely believe it! Looking at these Big Macs, and then at his own assets of 430 million US dollars, if Xia Yu can still get carried away, he is not qualified to aspire to be a big capitalist. Xia Yu knew these things from the beginning because of his special circumstances. So at the beginning of his rise, his vision was not limited to Xiangjiang. When making various strategies, he first looked at the world and set a large framework, and then made initial detailed plans based on the situation in Xiangjiang. In Xia Yu''s view, what determines the upper limit of a person''s growth is not ability, but vision. People with a broader vision, the more they know their insignificance, the more they will be full of awe in the world, and will always urge themselves to continue to work hard to climb up. Human potential is limitless, and ability depends on acquired ability. As long as a person is motivated to learn and grow continuously, one day ability will reach its peak! But if a person is a frog at the bottom of the well, only the small piece of sky can be seen in his eyes, and he is easy to be content and complacent, always thinking that he is the strongest, but he does not know how small the well is in front of the world. In Xia Yu''s view, Xiangjiang is like that well in front of the world. Most of the people in Xiangjiang are the frogs, even frogs. But Xia Yu has always been sober, knowing the vastness of the world outside the well. After Xia Yu''s rebirth, it was not without reason that he kept developing like a burning butt, but because he knew too much, and because he knew so much, he knew the precious time. In the 1980s and 1990s, the whole world changed, whether it was the privatization wave sweeping the European and American worlds, the various oil and economic crises triggered by successive wars in the Middle East, or the man-made or natural financial crises in various places, and the two virtues. Mergers, the formation of the European Union, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the rise of science and technology, etc., all hide huge amounts of wealth. These are all historical opportunities and precious wealth! Of course, Xia Yu, who has all kinds of memories, jealous, can''t wait to get in! But just thinking about it is useless! To take a share of these opportunities, we must have the strength to enter the threshold! If you are more greedy and grab food with those predators hiding behind the scenes of the world, you must be stronger! But time waits for no one! The strength of those predators is now amazing, and the resources they can use are unparalleled. Xia Yu has fallen behind long ago. If he develops according to the routine, he will definitely not be able to match them! In the era of accelerated consolidation of the world¡¯s pyramid class, Xia Yu must run wildly towards the top of the pyramid, otherwise he will have to wait until the Internet age is more variable and there is still a chance. But Xia Yu didn''t want to wait for decades! More importantly, without the strength, even in the Internet era of later generations, he still has to be controlled by those behind-the-scenes predators, he still can''t grab it! Don¡¯t you see whether it¡¯s Google or Microsoft, which one does not have many investment companies behind? Most of those investment companies are one of the tentacles of these consortia. After standing at the pinnacle of power and sitting on countless resources, no matter how the times change, your uncle is still your uncle after all, and only the industry categories controlled by each are replaced. Those who are on the list of the richest people are almost all targets set by real predators. Although these people are considered to be the top in the eyes of ordinary people, they still can''t make it to the top ~ www.novelhall.com~ can not be The real cake maker! And Xia Yu just wanted to be the latter, the real predator! Just because he knew a lot, Xia Yu understood the difficulty of the road he chose. But he was reborn for the first time, it was God''s favor, instead of sitting on the wealthy salted fish, it is better to make a vigorous experience in this world! Since John Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan were able to do it more than a hundred years ago, he Xia Yu was very fond of him. He didn''t think he would be worse than them. He wouldn''t be reconciled if he didn''t win it! Thirty years of changing circumstances, count the romantic figures, and look at the present! 430 million dollars, not much! Still weak and pitiful! But with more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in working capital, he is truly qualified to start embarking on the road to a tycoon! Everything starts from the Wharf! Start with the little boss, the Yihe Foundation! Chapter 287: I want more "As for Li''s TV station?" After thinking about it, Xia Yu thought about Li''s TV station again, couldn''t help muttering in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, and continued thinking. From July 1st, the Hong Kong TV industry is already surging, and storms are coming. In the original history, in July 1978, Jiayi TV Station would launch the "famous" "July Offensive", in an effort to suppress Infinity TV and Li''s TV station to the end, and lay a beautiful record for the upcoming August. . Why is there a so-called "July Offensive"? The source of all this should be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of Jiayi TV Station. He Zuozhi of Xiangjiang He family, jealous of the TV station¡¯s income, combined with the big brothers to set up Jiayi TV station. He Zuozhi is worthy of a wealthy background. He is a magnificent man. He directly launched the Jinyuan offensive and aimed at the TV station. Jiayi TV has soared from more than 200 to more than 800. After that, all kinds of TV programs were very willing to spend money, and the ratings have been rising as expected! But after four years of doing this, even if the shareholders of Jiayi TV are all bigwigs, they can''t stand the investment, and they haven''t seen the output, making the operation very difficult. And after so many years, Infinity TV has also slowed down, adapted to the pressure from Jiayi TV, and is gradually regaining lost ground. The ratings of Jiayi TV have become unstable, and the prospects are worrying! For this reason, He Zuozhi had to make Jiayi profitable, and the major shareholders gradually became impetuous. In August, the next year''s advertising investment conference of Jiayi TV will be held! To have a good harvest, Jiayi TV station must come up with a beautiful report card. Therefore, He Zuozhi wanted to launch a wave of offensive to grab the ratings. Unfortunately, He Zuozhi miscalculated this time! Not only did the "July Offensive" fail, it became a reminder and directly crushed Jiayi TV Station. It went bankrupt at the end of August! It is conceivable how great the hidden crisis of Jiayi TV Station is. The "July Offensive" that is about to begin now is a lead that will detonate the thunder that has been accumulated for many years. So now Xia Yu doesn''t need to do it at all, just wait, and the opponent will automatically lose one. So although all the shares of Li TV are now in his hands, Xia Yu does not want to be exposed to cause Jiayi''s attention and TVB''s vigilance. It''s better to secretly beat soy sauce first, make arrangements properly, and let TVB bear the targeted impact of Jiayi. Xia Yu intends to secretly make a plan, after Jiayi goes bankrupt, quickly take over as much of Jiayi''s assets as possible and grab the fruits of victory. "Presumably by then, Shao Laoliu''s expression will be very interesting!" Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn''t help but secretly smiled. "Let''s arrange this for two days tomorrow. The most important thing now is to arrange the securities company''s affairs first!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu went directly to Jiuding Securities Company. "boss!" "Hi boss!" ... In the respectful greetings from the employees, Xia Yu found Wang Qi. Wang Qi had already made preparations and immediately put down his work and followed Xia Yu to the office. Then, Wang Qi handed all the prepared materials to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu read it directly. After a long time, he smiled with satisfaction after reading it. "Very good, good job!" "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Wang Qi said modestly. Xia Yu smiled and didn''t say much, but the satisfaction in his eyes never concealed it. Wang Qi executed his order well, and now Wharf¡¯s stock price is still at around 1.63 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it has never been discovered. After so many days, Wang Qi continued to buy Wharf stocks and bought 7 million shares at a cost of 110 million Hong Kong dollars. Now all accounts have accumulated 28 million shares, accounting for 28.57% of the total share capital! Properly the largest shareholder! The more shares he holds, the less funds Xia Yu will consume when launching an attack later, and the greater the success rate for taking down the Wharf! In addition to Wharf, other aspects of the company are also developing very well. After Xia Yu learned about it, he didn''t care about it. He was already on the right track and he didn''t need to worry about it. "Boss, when do we start to act?" After hesitating for a while, Wang Qi asked. After the boss said before that he wanted to swallow the Wharf, Wang Qi couldn''t sleep anymore, and he was full of passion every day as if he was hitting chicken blood. It doesn''t matter that his heart is not calm, it is really that if Jiuding Securities really swallows the Wharf, it will benefit Jiuding Securities too much, and it can directly expand quickly with the help of the victory. But if it fails, the consequences will be terrible. Therefore, Wang Qi was very cautious when he secretly bought Wharf''s stock, and kept suppressing Wharf''s stock price. Otherwise, the stock price would soar for fear that others would discover an abnormality, which would ruin the boss'' plan. . Seeing Wang Qi''s expectant eyes, Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said quietly: "No hurry, put off planning first!" When Wang Qi heard the sound, he was stunned and looked at Xia Yu in confusion. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, hesitated for a while and said: "Boss, is there a problem with funds?" "Haha, there is nothing wrong with funding!" Xia Yu laughed and said, ready to tell Wang Qi the truth, lest he get upset. "I have already raised 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars for the Galaxy Fund!" Xia Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said. Telling Wang Qi the amount of funds is to inform the plan later, otherwise Wang Qi would not be able to understand without knowing his strength. However, the money is his own, and there is no need to let Wang Qi know that even if Wang Qi is his own, he is not allowed to leak it. What''s more, if he knew that the money belonged to him, Wang Qi would definitely be tempted to guess where he got the money. There would always be some trouble and it would be difficult to explain, so don''t let him know at all. Sure enough, upon hearing this number, Wang Qi''s eyes widened, and he blurted out in exclamation: "1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars? Or cash? My God!" "Boss, is this true?" Wang Qi still asked incredulously, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, feeling uneasy, hoping that Xia Yu would say yes, but also afraid that Xia Yu was joking. "Of course it is true. I have brought some friends in the UK to invest, and the funds have been credited to my account." Xia Yu smiled affirmatively. Hearing this, Wang Qi grinned, his smile couldn''t hide. 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars! With so much capital, it is absolutely no problem to win the Wharf! Now that we have 28.57% of the equity, as long as we get less than 22%, we can complete the absolute holding. At that time, Wharf will never escape! 1.3 billion is more than enough to buy this 22% stake! If the time is right it won''t be a problem to win more! Wharf can''t run away! Thinking of this, Wang Qi''s heart surged, already looking forward to this day. He has not personally experienced the battle of Qingzhou Yingni Company, which has always been regrettable. But now that the momentum and influence of the Wharf acquisition plan will definitely be many times greater, he is fortunate to participate personally and is an important executor. How can this not make him excited? "No, since the funding is fine, why should the boss put the plan on hold?" At this moment, Wang Qi suddenly thought of a key question. He immediately cleared his mind and couldn''t help asking: "Boss, with so much funds, we will definitely succeed. Why should we postpone the plan?" Xia Yu smiled mysteriously, narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said faintly: "Because I want more!" Chapter 288: Insurance and banking "Want more?" Wang Qi was taken aback, not knowing the meaning of Xia Yu''s words. "Yes!" "Wang Qi, do you think that if we have Jardine Insurance, would it help us much?" Xia Yufeng said lightly. But when he heard this in Wang Qi''s ears, it sounded like a thunder, and the whole person was stunned. Jiuding Securities plus Jardine Insurance? Wang Qi suddenly felt a bit dry in his mouth, licked his mouth and couldn''t help swallowing. He stared at the boss Xia Yu in a daze, and after careful observation, he found that the boss''s attitude seemed very serious, not like a joke. Didn¡¯t it say that the Wharf should be acquired? Why did you take aim at Jardine Insurance? Jardine Insurance Group is one of the top three large insurance companies in the HeungKong insurance industry. It has strong strength. With the continuous improvement of HeungKong''s economy, the growth rate of the insurance industry continues to rise, and the future is getting brighter. In addition, I heard that Jardine Insurance has won two licenses for reinsurance brokerage and reinsurance not long ago. Since then, Jardine Insurance has completed the Grand Slam and has full insurance licenses in life insurance, property insurance, pension insurance, reinsurance, reinsurance brokerage, asset management and pension industry investment. In addition, Jiuding Securities is also a fully licensed company in the securities industry. If Jardine Insurance is added, the boss''s business map will cover the second and third securities and insurance in finance, and the strength will definitely increase dramatically. If there is another bank, that would be amazing! Thinking of this, Wang Qi''s heart agitated. It''s just that Jardine Insurance is a listed company of HeungKong, and its market value should be around 500 million Hong Kong dollars. It is too difficult to acquire it! There is no preparation yet. If it is acquired, Jardine Insurance¡¯s share price will definitely skyrocket. At that time, it would be unrealistic to want to swallow Wharf and Jardine Insurance at the same time with only 1.3 billion funds! Moreover, Jardine Insurance is one of the core companies of the Jardine Matheson Group. At the same time, when Wharf and Jardine Insurance are activated, the Jardine Matheson Group will definitely work hard, and it may not be able to withstand it by then! "Boss, Jardine Insurance is good, but if we do it at the same time, the Jardine Consortium will definitely react violently. Then..." Wang Qi said anxiously, he couldn''t say anything at the end, but the meaning he wanted to express was already clear. "Huh! Others are afraid of him, Yihe, I''m not afraid, it''s not Yihe, I still don''t move!" Xia Yu said with a cold snort, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Wang Qi couldn''t help but his pupils shrank and realized that something was wrong. The boss'' reaction was a little big. It seemed that he was going specifically for Yihe. Could he have hatred with Yihe? Guessing this, the more Wang Qi thought about it, the more he realized it was possible. He shut up decisively and swallowed what he wanted to persuade. Since it involves the boss''s personal grievances, nothing to say, then it must be done, and it is not impossible to succeed! "Boss, you order, I will do my best!" Wang Qi immediately pledged to show his attitude. Xia Yu gave Wang Qi a satisfied look and recognized Wang Qi''s ability to observe words and colors. Then he said: "Don''t worry about funds, there is a saying that there is no gun, no cannon, the enemy will build it for us!" "The enemy made it for us? Is it a looting?" "Sniper?" Wang Qi questioned that he didn''t understand what Xia Yu meant at first, but his financial abilities were not bad, and soon he thought of a way to meet the boss''s situation. "That''s right, sniping on the companies under the Jardine Consortium to lock up their funds, and at the same time make a fortune, and also cover the acquisition of Wharf and Jardine Insurance!" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was raised, and he directly explained his plan. "Mingxiu plank road is secretly Chencang?" "Suddenly?" For an instant, these two words popped out of Wang Qi''s mind, his eyes brightened, and a smile appeared on his face. If you do this, the operability is really great! Stock market sniping is a very good means of capital operation. The specific steps are to target those companies with unstable controlling rights, first absorb considerable shares in the market, and then propose a comprehensive acquisition, forcing the other party to buy back the shares in their hands at a high price. Or the entire company can be changed hands to make a profit from it. And stock market sniping is also a very good means to cast a bad name, the premise is to successfully sniper! However, there are advantages and disadvantages. If the reputation is too high, it will naturally arouse the vigilance of other people, which will make more people look at it, and the difficulty of future business development will increase. The most important thing is that it will offend a lot of people. After all, sniping in the stock market is a clear robbery. No matter how hard it is, it is extortion and being a financial bandit. Liu Luanxiong, the sixth richest person in the later generations of Hong Kong, rose up by this method and has always been successful. Under the leadership of Liu Luanxiong, his Chinese real estate has galloped the capital market with few rivals. This is a typical trick to eat fresh! In this life, Xia Yu''s strength is many times stronger than Liu Luanxiong''s rise, and Xia Yu''s ability is also stronger than Liu Luanxiong. If he wants to sniper and blackmail the Yihe Consortium, he is really likely to succeed! The only worry is that the feud with the Jardine Consortium will be even greater. The Jardine Consortium will definitely go crazy! "Boss, your plan is good, but our plans and funds must be kept as confidential as possible. This is a bit of a hassle. With Jardine''s capabilities, HSBC does not know if it can be reliable." Wang Qi analyzed carefully and said that he had begun to make suggestions to remove obstacles to the plan. "Then first have our own bank and be a capital transfer station!" "And it''s time to take down a bank!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said, he had considered this a long time ago. The most important thing in capital operation is to keep confidentiality and capital safety without problems. Don''t look at Shen Bi now speaking very well, but after all, he is a British guy. It is hard to guarantee that he will not help the Keswick family to cheat Xia Yu at a critical moment. It will only be because the price is not high enough. But if Xia Yu and the Jardine Consortium were to die, the Keswick family would definitely try their best to fight against Xia Yu. Therefore, we must take precautions and take into account any possible dangerous situations. Considering defeat before winning is the lasting strategy! In addition, Xia Yu''s business is getting bigger and bigger. With just ten companies under his own, the funds are enough to feed a bank. In this case, there is no need to give money to others. Having a bank will also greatly help your career development, and the benefits are enormous! "bank?" Wang Qi only felt that his brain was congested and his breathing was a little difficult. It was too exciting today. He couldn''t keep up with the boss''s thoughts at all, but why did he feel so excited and excited? If he really owns his own bank, it will be of great help to Jiuding Securities, and he feels excited when he thinks about it. "Boss, just tell me! I will do my best!" Wang Qi flushed, and raised his chest and said that he was numb from shock, and now he wants to do a good job. "well!" "Now make a rough plan. You will do a few things right away." "First, continue with Wharf''s acquisition plan, but postpone the acquisition for some time." "Secondly, to screen out the companies that are suitable for sniping under Jardine Matheson. UU Reading " "Third, select a bank suitable for acquisition." "The general steps are like this. The detailed plan will be made according to the completion of the second and third steps. You have to be prepared!" "The workload is a bit heavy, I need you to work harder, but you can rest assured that I will arrange the Economic Research Office of Jiuding Newspaper Company to screen together." "Remember, keep everything secret!" Xia Yu resolutely ordered underground. "understand!" Wang Qi answered loudly. "Well, go ahead!" Sending Wang Qi away, Xia Yu leaned on the chair, tilted Erlang''s legs, eyes in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 289: Ranking in island countries After going around in Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu did not stop and went straight to the other two companies. He is going to finish all the things that should be understood within today, and set the tasks that should be assigned. The four companies are the rising sun in various industries, and the effect of every bit of time is magnified many times, and Xia Yu naturally does not want to waste it. Soon, the car stopped again downstairs in the building where Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Book Publishing Company were located. Xia Yu took Li Wuming and walked straight to the animation company''s floor. "Boss, you are here!" When Xia Yu found Ma Tengdong, he happened to be dealing with documents in his office. After seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, he hurriedly stood up and shouted respectfully. "Well, don''t stand, sit down and talk!" Xia Yu stretched while sitting on the sofa, Ma Tengdong also left the desk, came to the seat opposite Xia Yu, and started to make tea. "Boss, please use tea!" Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Xia Yu exhaled heat, and his body relaxed naturally. "How is the company?" Xia Yu put down the tea cup, leaned on the sofa and asked. "Boss, the sales of our "Military Manke" comic magazine have been rising. Last week, the sales volume was 930,000 copies. The specific sales statistics of various regions are here. Please see!" Ma Tengdong took out a form and handed it to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu took it over and scanned it. The total sales volume is 950,000, including Hong Kong and Macau totaling 220,000, Taiwan Province totaling 180,000, Southeast Asia totaling 200,000, and island countries with the most, reaching 350,000. Comparing the second phase of the official fee sales, Hong Kong and Macao only increased by 60,000 copies, Taiwan Province increased by 80,000 copies, Southeast Asia only increased by 50,000 copies, but the island countries increased by 130,000 copies, the largest increase and increase. . "It seems that the social concept has not been reversed by a large margin, and there is nothing we can do about it!" Seeing that the sales in Hong Kong and Macau in the base camp grew so little, Xia Yu frowned slightly, and then stretched out to think. At present, the rectification of Xiangjiang''s comics industry is continuing, and the high-voltage lines have been under pressure. Even the representative "Bruce Lee" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" are still under rectification and have not been sold again. In other words, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has no rivals, but the sales in Hong Kong and Macau are only 220,000 copies, which is equivalent to the combined sales of "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Bruce Lee." Of course, if you consider the overlapping sales of "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Bruce Lee", in fact, the total number of readers who bought these two comics is about 150,000 or 60 thousand. Looking at it this way, the 220,000 sales volume of "Zhiyin Manke" magazine is still very high, and it also shows from the side that new readers are attracted. It¡¯s just that the increase is not very large. Compared with the number of 130,000 new copies in island countries, Hong Kong and Macau can be said to be Xia Yu¡¯s base camp, but only 60,000 copies have been added. When Xia Yu thought about it, he felt that it was a problem of industry recognition. The atmosphere has not yet reversed. However, new additions can be considered a good thing. The market representing the comics industry has continued to expand. It just needs a buffer process for adaptation. Even with external catalysis, it is still not anxious. In a country with a mature comics industry like the island country, the sales volume of "Military Manke" has soared, indicating that the quality is no problem, and readers'' recognition is very high. "It seems that I still want to focus on the island country market, as I originally thought!" Xia Yu murmured in his heart. "what?" Just as Xia Yu turned down the next page, after seeing the content on the paper, he couldn''t help but raised his brow slightly and looked at it seriously. Island Comic Market Research Report and Comic Magazine Sales Ranking ... First, "Weekly Youth SUNDAY", with weekly sales of 2.8 million copies, was launched for the Primary School. It was launched in 1959, and now the main work "Fu Xing Boy"... the most female readers. Second, "Weekly Shonen JUMP", with a weekly sales of 2.5 million copies, was launched by Shueisha, and was launched in 1968... Third, "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE", with a weekly sales of 2 million copies, was launched for Kodansha, and was launched in 1959... fourth¡­¡­ ... Twentieth, "Milk Friends", weekly sales of 350,000 copies... At the end, Xia Yu''s eyes condensed, he was a little dignified and puzzled while delighted. He looked at Ma Tengdong and asked, "Tengdong, how did this ranking come from?" Ma Tengdong, who had been observing the boss Xia Yu''s expression, was already ready to answer. "Boss, this is a table that we made by ourselves. Combining my understanding of the island country comic market, coupled with my inquiries about statistical data, I made this table. The purpose is to have a more intuitive concept that can also be used. To supervise." "The data in this table must be biased, but the gap should be small, and it is still representative!" Ma Tengdong reports truthfully. "Hmm! Well done!" Xia Yu said with admiring eyes. Then, Xia Yu ignored the happy Ma Tengdong, and continued to look down at his watch. He looked at the ranking of "Military Manke" and the sales volume of 350,000, and the sales volume of 2.8 million copies of "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY". Contemplation. From this table, we can reflect the prosperity of the island country¡¯s comics market. The sales of No. 1 is exactly eight times that of "Zhiyin Manke". There are three comic magazines with sales of 2 million copies, and sales of one million copies. There are 9 manga magazines. The sales volume of "Zhiyin Manke" in Hong Kong and Macau is only 220,000 copies, which is less than two-thirds of the sales in the island countries, but the sales volume of 350,000 copies is just in the twentieth position. And you must know that the comics industry is not only comic magazines alone, all kinds of commercial brochures are the bulk. So, the comic market in the island country is really amazing! Thinking of this, Xia Yu said: "Tengdong, continue to increase marketing investment in the island market, and do everything possible to expand sales." "Ok!" Ma Tengdong immediately responded, even if the boss Xia Yu didn''t say this, he would take the initiative to raise it. After all, whether it is the sales of Hong Kong and Macao or the sales of island countries, they must be included in the total sales. Now it is clear that the sales of island countries are the easiest to raise. It must be easy first and then difficult, and more energy will be devoted to the island country market. But if he said so, Xia Yu also had other plans. He has a good way to increase the sales of comic magazines in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, and that is to play cartoons! In order to stimulate the catalytic market, this is a better way of publicity than any advertisement. You know, Xia Yu currently has a TV station in his hands. Although he has not officially taken over, he definitely has taken over before the cartoon is ready. "Tengdong, do you know any talents in animation production? Since our name is Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., we can''t miss the animation production department." Xia Yu asked. "Boss, I know a lot of such talents, and in this regard, I also have certain abilities." "Boss, do you want to start making cartoons now?" Ma Tengdong asked happily. Of course, he knows the role of cartoons in promoting cartoons and peripheral products. If there is a bonus of cartoons, the sales of "Military Manke" in Hong Kong and Macau will definitely not worry. Wherever the cartoons are placed, the sales will increase. , Is definitely a deadly weapon. "Yes, let me tell you one thing. All the shares of Li''s TV station have been acquired by me. I will release as many cartoons as you make!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Ma Tengdong glared at the words and blurted out: "Boss, you mean you bought Li''s TV station?" Xia Yu nodded. "Haha!" Ma Tengdong was so happy that he almost jumped up and immediately promised: "The boss can rest assured, I will set up an animation production department immediately, and I will definitely produce the animation!" "Just remember I haven''t taken over the TV station yet. You still have a while. You just have to remember a little, quality first!" Xia Yu exhorted. "I understand, I will definitely check it!" Ma Tengdong smiled, and said solemnly. Ma Tengdong has worked in Shueisha for so long. Even though Shueisha is one of the best in the island country''s comics industry, it will produce a lot of cartoons every year, but there will still be works that hit the street, but the quality is not good. So even if Xia Yu doesn''t say anything, Ma Tengdong will shut down good quality! No matter which industry or company it is, quality is the magic weapon to win and the ultimate weapon for longevity. Now that the boss has a TV station, the cartoons he made can definitely be broadcast. There is no need to worry about the selling price and cost. Anyway, it is the boss¡¯s company, so there is no worries. In this case, quality is not pursued. Ma Tengdong himself Will never forgive myself. The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 290: The benefits of buying a store "By the way, the management and operation department of the flagship store of Manke¡¯s Home has been established. The decoration of ten flagship stores has almost come to an end. Among them, our flagship store in Kowloon area has been renovated. It is not far from the company. Would you like to go? Take a look?" After being happy, Ma Tengdong calmed down and continued to report. "Oh? The decoration is finished so soon?" "The speed is good, but I don''t know if the decoration quality is good?" Xia Yu raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at Ma Tengdong Road meaningfully. "Boss, rest assured, you said that the flagship store is responsible for copying and opening a store in the future, so my acceptance criteria are very strict and there will be no problems!" Ma Tengdong lifted his spirits and immediately assured him that he did his best in this matter, so he was very confident and was not worried about disappointing his boss. Ma Tengdong''s attitude made Xia Yu feel relieved, but he also planned to go to the site to take a look, and he was planning to wait for the toy factory to have a look. "Let''s go, take me to see your masterpiece!" Xia Yu picked up the teacup and drank it, then stood up and walked outside. Ma Tengdong quickly followed. Not long after I was in the car, I went outside a shop with a closed door. After getting off the car, Xia Yu stopped and looked up at the shop. The big photos on the outside of this shop are still covered, and outsiders don¡¯t know the name of the shop. Only on the opening day will the red hijab be unveiled. But of course Xia Yu knows that it must be the four words "Manke''s Home", and there will be a corner sign of "Jiulong No.1 Store" in the lower right corner, which was designed from the beginning. Looking around, the shop is located in a prosperous area at a crossroads, surrounded by high-rise buildings. It can be said that this is a prime location with a large passenger flow. Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction: "The location is good!" "Hey!" Ma Tengdong smiled, showing white teeth. The locations of the ten flagship stores were selected by him personally. Now that he has been praised by the boss, why is he unhappy? "Boss, let''s go in and have a look!" After Ma Tengdong finished speaking, he took out the key and opened the door, and then walked in with Xia Yu. The interior area of ??the entire store is 200 square meters. Various display cabinets have been installed inside, and various display cabinets have been installed on the wall. In addition, there are various cartoon patterns on the wall, such as Zhiyin Man The logo of the guest, Pikachu and Phoenix in "Pokemon", Monkey King in "Dragon Ball", Luffy in "One Piece" and so on. Xia Yu stood in the middle of the shop, looked around carefully, and patted this and touched the other from time to time. After observation, he showed a satisfied smile. "It''s really good, the store layout is very simple and clear, and the various collocations are also done well, giving people a comfortable, relaxing, cozy and warm feeling. Are the other nine stores similar to this?" Xia Yu asked again after commenting. The smiling Ma Tengdong immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, they are almost the same, but the shop area will vary, but the area is basically about two hundred square meters." "That''s good!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. The area of ??two hundred square meters is quite large for a nearby flagship store. Like an ordinary bookstore, it would be nice to have more than a dozen square meters. That is to say, Xia Yu has a wealth of money and will buy ten such shops at once. That''s right, these ten stores were bought directly, not rented! There are one on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories, one in Omen, one in the north and south of Taiwan, one in Singapore, and three on the island. There are ten flagship stores in total, all of which are bought. When Ma Tengdong applied for funds to Xia Yu, Xia Yu directly approved it. After all, in this era, real estate is indeed a high-growth industry. Investing in real estate is about making money, and the growth rate is not low! What''s more, this time I bought gold shops! That growth rate will only be higher! There are also several advantages to buying a store. The first is that in addition to the first investment, it reduces operating costs and reduces store rental expenses, and the company¡¯s profit margins will be higher in the future; the second is to reduce the difficulty of management and strengthen the core Competitiveness; the third is to reduce risk. After all, the rented shop is someone else''s. What if the rent is not renewed when it expires or other unexpected conditions make it impossible to continue renting? So for Xia Yu, who is not short of money, the shortcomings of buying a store with good funds can be ignored, and the rest are almost all advantages. Why not do it? After looking at it for a while again, seeing the empty shelves, Xia Yu suddenly asked, "How is the production situation of various peripheral products?" "Boss, many varieties have been designed, and the toy factory has already been producing them. The peripheral products produced are all stored in the warehouse. The number is definitely enough to fill ten shops!" Ma Tengdong immediately replied that the production of peripheral products is also a point he focuses on tracking, and he is always paying attention to it. There is absolutely no possibility of no goods to sell or poor quality of peripheral products or bad reputation. "Close the door, let''s go to the toy factory!" Then, Xia Yu took Ma Tengdong to the toy factory. Seeing Xia Yu''s car appeared, Chen Liang who was watching the door immediately came to his attention, opened the door, and looked at Xia Yu''s car with anticipation. And Xia Yu also rolled down the car window and saw his uncle Chen Liang''s honest face with a smile, and shouted with a smile: "Uncle!" "A Yu, you are here, when did you come back?" Chen Liang asked with concern. Xia Yu did not let the car continue to drive inside, but opened the door and got out of the car, walked to Chen Liang, and smiled: "I came back the afternoon before yesterday." "No wonder, I went to your house the day before yesterday, and your mother said you were still in the UK and didn''t come back." Chen Liang let out a cry, and said suddenly. "It''s London, England. It''s something, so I stayed there a little longer." Xia Yu explained patiently. "Yes, it''s London. Look at my memory. I didn''t remember what your mother said." Chen Liang patted his forehead and said quickly, Xia Yu smiled kindly and did not speak. Then, Xia Yu talked to uncle Chen Liang for a while. "A Yu, you should go ahead and do your business first. Work is important. Next time we will have a good chat." After chatting for a while, Chen Liang glanced at Ma Tengdong who was waiting quietly behind Xia Yu, and he said with a smile. "Well, uncle, let''s get together in the evening and call my aunt and cousin. I''ll let someone come and pick you up. "Good! Haha!" Chen Liang said cheerfully, and then urged Xia Yu to go first. Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and then led Ma Tengdong and others toward the factory. Along the way, Xia Yu asked Ma Tengdong as he walked: "Tengdong, are my relatives working in the factory?" "It''s here It''s been almost 20 days now." Ma Tengdong said quickly. "Will they make you embarrassed? Just tell me, don''t think so much." Xia Yu looked straight at Ma Tengdong and asked. "No, not only are they not lazy, they are also more diligent than other employees. Under their leadership, the work efficiency of other old employees has also increased a lot." Ma Tengdong said immediately without hesitation. Seeing that Ma Tengdong''s expression didn''t look like a lie, Xia Yu nodded slightly with a blank face and gave a light "um", and then led Ma Tengdong to walk forward. Although Ma Tengdong said so, Xia Yu was still not completely relieved, he was more relieved seeing it with his own eyes. Of course, if the situation is really as Ma Tengdong said, that would be better. The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 291: Profiteering industry When he came outside the factory, Xia Yu did not go in, but first walked to the window to observe quietly. Ma Tengdong did not disturb, and stood quietly behind Xia Yu. After two minutes, Xia Yu smiled and commented: "Yes! Let''s go in and have a look!" "Boss, please follow me!" After Ma Tengdong finished speaking, he took Xia Yu into the factory. After a while, the person in charge of the toy factory also came out. He respectfully greeted Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong, and then led Xia Yu and others to the assembly line. The arrival of Xia Yu and his party naturally attracted the attention of surrounding employees. The boss, the general manager of the company, and the person in charge of the toy factory all came. Almost all the workers have become more energetic and work more seriously. Along the way, look here and there, Xia Yu also saw many familiar faces, it was his relatives and neighbors. Only know that Xia Yu''s identity is different, and that Ma Tengdong and the person in charge of the toy factory are also there. So although they were very excited after seeing Xia Yu, they didn''t dare to say hello and could only smile, Xia Yu almost nodded. He even stopped to say a few words even occasionally when he met relatives who had a good relationship with his family before. Suddenly, Xia Yu walked to the place where the final product was produced. He picked up a yellow Pikachu plush toy and observed it. After observing, he picked up several other plush toys at random to observe and pull. After a while, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said: "The workmanship is fine, there is no shoddy work." "Boss, I uphold your requirements, put quality first, and to remind the staff, I also let people hang a sign on the wall, you see, it is there!" Ma Tengdong explained with a smile, and then pointed his finger in one direction. Xia Yu followed him and looked at it. As expected, a row of slogans were hung on the wall with eight characters "Keep improving, quality first". "It is to have such strict requirements to make the enterprise bigger and stronger!" Xia Yu commented that Ma Tengdong and the head of the toy factory nodded repeatedly. "I think this piece is made of plush toys. Is the production of other peripheral products separated?" I looked around and found that it was the production process of plush toys. I didn''t see other peripheral products such as stickers, posters, plastic toys, peripheral stationery, etc. Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong and asked. "Yes, they are all separated, because the dust in the plush toy production workshop is relatively large, and some products with high air quality requirements cannot be produced. Moreover, in order to facilitate management and production, peripheral products are placed in different categories according to different types. Workshop." Ma Tengdong glanced at the head of the toy factory, who immediately explained. "You lead the way." Then, Xia Yu went to see the production situation of other and peripheral products, and walked around. Xia Yu was relieved about the production of the products. The slogan hung on the wall was indeed not a formalism, but was implemented in the production process and did not disappoint him. "Where is the warehouse?" After checking the production line, Xia Yu asked again. "The warehouse is in the innermost part of the factory, boss, please follow me!" The person in charge of the toy factory finished speaking, and took Xia Yu and others to the warehouse. Seeing the neatly stacked peripheral products, Xia Yu made an estimate based on the size of the store. It is definitely more than enough to fill ten flagship stores, and now the toy factory is still in production, so out of stock situation is impossible. What worries about is whether it can be sold and whether there will be a backlog of goods. "Tengdong, when the surrounding flagship stores are opened, you can engage in some activities, such as a series of activities such as buying comics, prize-winning knowledge contests, etc., which can not only promote the reputation of the store, but also mature the peripheral product market and increase sales. The most important thing is to increase the reader''s sense of belonging to our "Military Friend Manke" and the surrounding flagship stores. The benefits are enormous!" "While it hasn''t opened yet, there is still a certain amount of time, you make a detailed plan, as brilliant as possible, and show it to me when you are done." Xia Yu expressed his feelings. Ma Tengdong nodded solemnly and replied: "Good boss, I took it down!" "By the way, the workshop where Rubik''s Cube is produced and researched is also here. Would you like to take a look?" As he walked out of the warehouse, Ma Tengdong reminded. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, and said with interest, "Take me to see." The Rubik''s Cube is a gold mine. The sooner it is created, the faster it will make money. It is Xia Yu who will benefit, and he must take care of it. While walking, Ma Tengdong gave a brief introduction so that Xia Yu had a rough impression of the progress of the Rubik''s Cube. "Boss, after you sent the drawings back, I immediately sent someone to register the patent according to your request. I asked someone to help. Now the patent certificates of Xiangjiang and Longmen have been issued." "As for other international patents, I have also entrusted professional patent registration companies, and send people to follow the progress at any time, and strive to get them done as quickly as possible!" "Well, good work! We must have this awareness in the future, especially if we are engaged in comics now, the importance of intellectual property must be the first. Have all kinds of comics patents been applied for?" Xia Yu was satisfied with Ma Tengdong''s attitude, and then asked. "Applicants from Hong Kong and Macau have all been filed, and island countries, Taiwan Province, and Southeast Asia are also fast. As for other countries in the world, I have also sent a dedicated team to apply for patents. Because they are intellectual property patents, the definition process is simpler. Before the surrounding flagship stores open, they can definitely be done!" Ma Tengdong explained in detail. "That''s good!" "You go on!" Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction. "For the manufacture and research of Rubik''s Cube, I also went to various universities in Hong Kong according to your instructions, and asked professors or teachers of architecture and engineering majors to do subject research. At your prompt, the third-order Rubik''s Cube was also developed. Three days ago Just made a sample." "Now the third-order Rubik''s Cube is inside." As Ma Tengdong was talking, a group of people had already reached the door of the Rubik''s Cube production and research workshop. Ma Tengdong opened the door and brought in Xia Yu and others. "Boss, this is Professor Liu Fang Liu, a professor at the School of Architecture and Engineering of Hong Kong University, and is now responsible for a series of research on Rubik''s Cube." "Professor Liu, this is my boss, his surname is Xia!" After entering, Ma Tengdong pointed to an old man wearing glasses and introduced Xia Yu. Xia Yu glanced at the familiar third-order Rubik''s Cube on the table. He returned his attention to the old man, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Professor Liu, hello, this is Xia Yu." "Xia Sheng, I know you, it''s nice to meet you!" Liu Fang showed a calm smile and shook hands with Xia Yu. Although his posture was a bit old-fashioned, Xia Yu didn''t care. If the university professor seemed too sophisticated, he would doubt his professional ability! Like Liu Fang now, at least he is more assured, it is the temperament that a scholar should have. "This is a third-order Rubik''s cube? Is it a finished product?" Xia Yu picked up the Rubik''s Cube on the table and asked knowingly. "Yes!" Liu Fang simply said, and when he wanted to go on, he saw Xia Yu skillfully twist the third-order Rubik''s Cube. In less than a minute, the upset Rubik''s Cube was restored to the same color on all sides. Liu Fang lifted his eyes, looked at Xia Yu somewhat unexpectedly, and sighed: "Xia Sheng, it seems that your logical thinking is very strong. You can restore it in such a short time." "Yes, boss, you are too good. It took me half an hour to recover the Rubik''s Cube." Ma Tengdong also looked shocked, thinking of his previous process of twisting the Rubik''s Cube, he knew the difficulty of this, and couldn''t help but sigh. "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled, but didn''t explain. Could he still say that it took a minute or was it because he was strange? "Can it be put into mass production now? If mass production, how much can the cost be controlled?" Xia Yu put down the Rubik''s Cube and asked. "I have already made the assembly line production plan. The material can be ordinary plastic. For other costs, I have to ask Manager Ma." Upon hearing this question, Liu Fang finished what he knew, and then subconsciously looked at Ma Tengdong. He is a scholar. He really doesn''t understand this kind of cost. He just needs to be responsible for the research. Ma Tengdong immediately said: "Boss, mass production, the cost of a single Rubik''s Cube can be reduced to 0.2 Hong Kong dollars each." When Xia Yu heard this, his brows frowned first, and then stretched out and said: "The cost is fine, but it can only be regarded as low-end." "Use other materials to make mid-to-high-end Rubik''s Cube. Although the mid-to-high-end market is not as broad as the low-end market, a mature market is indispensable." "Professor Liu, you have to work hard to select suitable materials to make mid-to-high-end products." Xia Yu said to Liu Fang. "No problem, it can be done in a few days with a different material." Liu Fang replied without any hesitation. "By the way, Professor Liu, the third-order Rubik''s Cube has been researched, but the fourth- and fifth-order Rubik''s Cubes and the following series of Rubik''s Cubes have not been researched yet. I have to ask you! Xia Yu thought of the mid-to-high-end Rubik''s Cube and the advanced version of Rubik''s Cube, said his stomach to Liu Fang. "Happy to help!" Liu Fang said with a smile. He will agree to Ma Tengdong''s invitation to do research, and he is also very interested in Rubik''s Cube. He is full of exploratory and exploratory desire for Rubik''s Cube, which is full of architectural wisdom. The greatest joy of scholars is to do research that interests him. Now even if Xia Yu refuses to let him do it, he will take the initiative to study it, let alone now accept a high-paying employment, why is he unwilling? Then, Xia Yu stayed in the toy factory for a while, encouraged the person in charge of the toy factory, and left with Ma Tengdong. In the car returning, Xia Yu said to Ma Tengdong beside him: "Tengdong, how much do you think the price of the low-end Rubik''s cube is appropriate?" "Boss, our cost is 0.2 Hong Kong dollars each. I think the wholesale price can be set at 0.8 Hong Kong dollars and the retail price at 1.5 Hong Kong dollars is appropriate." Ma Tengdong thought for a while and said, 3 times the gross profit is enough in his opinion. Hearing Ma Tengdong''s words, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, knowing that Ma Tengdong hadn''t realized the importance of Rubik''s Cube. Not enough, this is understandable, after all, Ma Tengdong is not like him, knowing the popularity of Rubik''s Cube in later generations. He also no longer sells the key, and said: "I think 5 Hong Kong dollars is appropriate. As long as the marketing is done well, under the name of educational toys, this price must be sold." Without waiting for Ma Tengdong to speak, Xia Yu explained in detail. "The Rubik''s Cube can be sold together in the surrounding flagship stores in advance, and the Rubik''s Cube can be inserted into the plot of the comics. There is only one purpose, and that is to let readers and customers form an idea in their minds~ www.novelhall.com~ Playing Rubik''s Cube can be active The brain, the Rubik''s Cube is an educational toy, so it will definitely succeed!" Ma Tengdong stared, his eyes were full of shock, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, and said happily: "Boss rest assured, I know what to do!" Regarding the educational psychology of parents to their children, as long as they form the idea that Rubik''s Cube is beneficial to their children''s intellectual growth, let alone 5 Hong Kong dollars, even 50 Hong Kong dollars can still buy it! But even if it is 5 Hong Kong dollars, compared to the cost of 0.2 Hong Kong dollars, it is 25 times the profit, which is definitely a huge profit. Of course, the premise is that the Rubik''s Cube can be sold! Before Xia Yu came up with the marketing plan, Ma Tengdong might not be confident, but now that he has his boss as a beacon, Ma Tengdong deliberately patted his chest and said, 5 Hong Kong dollars a piece, definitely sold! "It seems that the Rubik''s Cube will be a huge source of wealth, I have to think about it!" Ma Tengdong reminded himself secretly. The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 292: Reis high-level meeting After returning to the company, Xia Yu went to various departments of the company, especially the comic creation department, and after encouraging everyone, he went upstairs to Jiuding Book Publishing Company. I found Gavin Peter and learned about the current situation of the book publishing company. The sales of "Looking for the Qin" continued to rise, firmly occupying the top spot in sales of Chinese novels in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia. In addition to "Xun Qin Ji", Jiuding Book Publishing Company also selected ten martial arts novels for publication. Within a few days after Xia Yu left Xiangjiang, novel publishing began one after another. So far, with the help of Jiuding Book Publishing Company¡¯s powerful distribution channels, and with the help of "Looking for the Qin", all ten martial arts novels have sold well, each of which has sold more than 100,000 copies. The masters of martial arts novels have written more than 200,000 volumes. In this way, Jiuding Book Publishing Company''s martial arts novel publishing business has begun to take shape, and there is no longer just a single seedling support for "Xun Qin Ji". And according to Gavin Peter''s report, the difficulty of signing the copyright of novel publishing by Jiuding Book Publishing Company is much lower than before. Especially in the martial arts novels, each author has become very talkative. There are even many unknown authors who submit articles every day, just to get their novels published. This situation is the good effect brought by the publication of ten martial arts novels. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the sales volume of one or two million copies of "Looking for the Qin" is only a special case. It is created under multiple factors. It is difficult to produce a single copy in a few years and it is not representative! However, each of the ten martial arts novels published later surpassed 100,000 copies in a short period of time. This kind of popularization is convincing and can reflect the publishing strength of Jiuding Book Publishing Company. Naturally, each author was convinced of the strength of Jiuding Book Publishing Company, and its influence also rolled upwards. After the martial arts novel publishing business began to take shape, Gavin Peter also made a mid-to-long-term plan, striving to continue to compete for the market and establish the dominant position in the martial arts novel publishing field. In addition, in addition to publishing "Xun Qin Ji" and ten other novels, the company''s revenue is also good. The company has money, Gavin Peter will naturally not put it in the bank, but will vigorously invest in new business. After reading Gavin Peter¡¯s plan, Xia Yu directly waved his hand and encouraged Gavin Peter to let go. This attitude made Gavin Peter full of motivation and secretly thanked Xia Yu for his trust and vowed to make the company better. ... In the conference room of the headquarters building of Li¡¯s TV station, a group of high-level executives were all present. Sitting at the top was the general manager Huang Xizhao, and on the left was the deputy general manager Zhong Jinhui. In addition, there was Mai Dan from the ¡°San Xiong of Li¡±. Xiong, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, "Scriptwriter" Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming and other high-level officials. At this time, the atmosphere in the meeting room seemed a little dull. The faces of all the shrewd and capable seniors were covered with a layer of haze. Everyone looked at Huang Xizhao who was sitting at the top from time to time, and saw Huang Xizhao frowning as well. What is bothering. For a long time, Huang Xizhao broke the dull atmosphere: "I have received the exact news that the parent company, Lily, has sold all the shares, so it is certain that Li''s TV has now changed hands." "But who the new boss is still doesn¡¯t know, and the new boss hasn¡¯t appeared, to avoid causing internal disturbances in the company, and to prevent bad thoughts from Wi-Fi and Jiayi. We only need to know the news. When we go out of the meeting room, we will Shut your mouth!" Everyone nodded at once. Zhong Jinhui, who was sitting on the left hand side of Huang Xizhao, sighed and said: "I don''t know what this new boss thinks. After so many days, he didn''t come to take over the company. At least it cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, or even hundreds of millions. Hong Kong dollars, do you trust us? Or do you care about the wealth?" Upon hearing this, Huang Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly, which he was also puzzled. According to the news he inquired about, Lily¡¯s voice has sold the shares for at least seven days, but within seven days, even if there are important things, it¡¯s not possible to take over Li¡¯s TV station. This is unknown. What is your new boss thinking? Huang Xi took a look at the high-level sitting and found that everyone''s faces were a little worried, and he also expressed understanding. After all, Li''s life in the past two years has not been easy. Although his ability is very strong, the high-level staff of Li''s TV station are also shrewd and capable. The voice of Li¡¯s parent company, Li¡¯s TV station, is not strong, and even clever women can¡¯t cook without rice, even though they are powerful, they are still forced by Jiayi. Although there was some time to achieve a counter-attack in the middle, after all, there was no money and no way to maintain the advantage for a long time. In the end, he was defeated by the money offensive of Jiayi TV. Not to mention TVB, backed by one of the four old Hong Kong families, Lee Family, and one of the four major British consortiums, Wheelock controls the Qi De family, and now the Shao family is a wealthy family. In addition, there are also some wealthy families or wealthy shareholders who have been defeated by Jiayi, but they are still able to stabilize their position. Now they are constantly counterattacking and their strength is still strong. On the contrary, whether it is the current strength or the backing of Li''s TV station, it is ranked at the bottom, and it has been able to develop tenaciously. It is because of their high-level capabilities. And now, Jiayi TV station''s aggressive offensive has been brewing. Although it is mainly aimed at TVB, it is not impossible for the boss and the second child to fight and kill the third child. They have to wait for it. Just like later generations, Jiaduobao and Wang Lao Kedah are in full swing, and the third child and Qizheng are beaten and left behind. Having said that, at such a critical moment, there is an uproar about changing the boss. Maybe if the new boss is dissatisfied, someone in the room will lose his job, and what¡¯s worse is that the new boss never shows up. Let everyone feel very bottomless. "Everyone manage the department as usual, don''t make mistakes, I will find out the new boss as soon as possible." "Don''t worry everyone. I believe that as long as the new boss sees our capabilities, the management will not be easily moved, and everyone will not lose their jobs." Hearing this, everyone nodded silently, approving Huang Xizhao''s words. "Okay, let''s get to the meeting first, the meeting is over!" After talking Huang Xizhao took the lead and left the meeting room. After returning to his general manager''s office, Huang Xizhao looked at the bright sky outside the window through the glass, but was not in a good mood, and could not help but sighed. The external pressure is increasing, and the internal turmoil begins again. As the general manager, Huang Xizhao is also worried about the future of Li''s TV station, and also worried about her own future. In any case, he didn''t want to leave Li''s TV station, because he was originally the high-level of Infinite TV. Later, under the heavy digging of Li''s TV station, he quit. It is impossible for him to return to wireless. In addition, the television station has the "Six Gentlemen of Jiayi" and the chairman He Zuozhi, who has a strong desire for control, and does not have his position. This is destined to be the only place where he can display his talents and only beautiful television stations. "It seems that we must find the new boss as soon as possible!" Huang Xizhao thought secretly. "I hope this mysterious new boss is a sensible person..." The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 293: Surfaced Just as Huang Xizhao just sat down to deal with the company''s affairs, a knock on the door came, his brows frowned slightly, and he said solemnly: "Come in!" "Patter!" With the sound of the door opening, an employee walked in cautiously. "what''s up?" Huang Xizhao said without looking up, continuing to process the documents in hand. "General Manager, someone sent an invitation letter just now, saying that it is going to be delivered to you." The staff reported in whispers. Huang Xizhao raised her brow, invitation letter? He put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the employee, his eyes focused on the red invitation letter in his hand. The invitation letter has been closed for processing and there is no trace of being opened. Huang Xizhao had some doubts in her heart, and accepted the invitation letter, saying, "Is there anything else? Go out if not!" "No, the general manager, I''m leaving now!" The employee shook his head quickly, and then slowly retreated to the door. Huang Xizhao gave a light "um", and then randomly opened the invitation letter, and subconsciously looked at the sign at the end, suddenly her pupils contracted, and quickly scanned the brief content, her face changed, and she immediately shouted that she was about to leave the office Of employees. "Come back first!" "You said it was the invitation you just sent?" "Yes, the person who sent the invitation told me that I must deliver it to you. I saw him driving in a luxury car, so I didn''t dare to delay, so I immediately submitted it to you." The employees didn''t know why the general manager Huang Xizhao''s expression changed drastically, but he knew there must be a serious problem, so he said nervously. Huang Xizhao frowned slightly when he heard the words, and continued to ask: "Where is the person sending the invitation now?" "Tell me to deliver to you immediately and leave. I''m sorry, the general manager, I didn''t keep him!" The employee immediately admitted his mistake after saying it. Huang Xizhao furrowed her brows tighter, and then glanced at the trembling employees, knowing that he was not to blame, and even if he wanted to stay, he might not be able to keep it. "Forget it, you go out." "By the way, forget about it! Don''t talk to anyone!" Huang Xizhao waved his hand and said, and then remembered something, and exhorted again. The employees were confused, but they were relieved, and left the office quickly, for fear that something would come out of the slow walk. After the employees closed the door and went out, Huang Xizhao carefully looked at the invitation letter in his hand again, carefully reading every word, for fear of missing a word. The content of the invitation letter was actually very brief. It didn''t say anything. It just gave him a place and time and talked to him about important things. Finally, it was signed and written Xia Yu''s name. It is this kind of simple invitation letter that is not simple considering who the inviter is. A big boss invites him well? Still mysterious? What the **** is it? Before Huang Xizhao left the desk, frowning, walking back and forth in the office, from time to time looking at Lulu in the corner, and at the blue sky and high-rise buildings outside the window. "Xia Yu and I have no intersection, right? The Jiuding company under him also has no business relationship with Li''s TV station. What is it?" "and many more!" Suddenly, Huang Xizhao muttered to herself in a deep voice, condensed her eyebrows and thought for a while, a possibility appeared in her mind. "Could he be the new boss behind the scenes? He bought Li''s TV station?" Huang Xizhao stretched her brows and muttered to herself. Then, he continued to think deeply. "With his strength, it is absolutely no problem to buy Li''s TV station." "And his Jiuding Newspaper Company is the number one overlord in the paper media industry. If you add a TV station, it will definitely be even more powerful, and the media dominance will be instantly stabilized, so he has this motivation! "Strength is okay, and with this need, it might really be him!" The more I think about it, the more possible Huang Xizhao feels, the thinking in her mind becomes clearer and clearer, her eyes gradually brighten, and her mood gradually turns from overcast to clear. Huang Xizhao walked back and forth in the office again, but this time, the pace became brisk, and even the atmosphere in the air became more active. "If he is really the new boss, life at Li''s TV station will definitely be much better, definitely better than under the British guys." "And I heard that this tycoon Xia is very generous and dare to delegate power to professional people. I believe that as long as he sees my abilities, he should not fire me." Huang Xizhao thought in a good mood. Suddenly, Huang Xizhao smiled, and for a long time, he sighed and said with a faint look, "However, he just has this possibility, not necessarily the new boss." "Is it true or not? I''ll know if I go tonight! It''s better than having no idea!" Huang Xizhao looked at the content of the invitation again, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth. On this day, Huang Xizhao felt that the time had passed very long. After a long time, she finally waited until the evening. Seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately went to a designated high-end tea restaurant. When he arrived, the waiter who had been waiting for a long time took him to the box where Xia Yu was. After hearing the voice of "please come in", Huang Xizhao took a deep breath and pushed the door in. The moment he saw Xia Yu , Huang Xizhao''s attitude was immediately respectful, and she said with a smile on her face: "Xia Sheng, good evening!" "Huang Sheng, please sit down!" Xia Yu stood up and shook his hand. After releasing it, he made a please gesture. Huang Xizhao said thank you and sat down. After three rounds of tea rounds, after a few casual greetings, I felt that the atmosphere was almost there, and when Huang Xizhao was a little unable to sit still, Xia Yu spoke. "Huang Sheng, I know you must be thinking about why I invited you here." As Xia Yu said, Huang Xi nodded in response. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and did not answer. Instead, he took out a copy of the a4 paper and handed it to him, saying: "You will know after reading this!" Huang Xizhao''s heart skipped a few times, and there was a guess in his heart, and he quickly took the file and looked at it quickly. When seeing a series of keywords such as "Xiangjiangli''s TV Station", "100% Equity", "Xia Yu" and other keywords, Huang Xizhao''s eyes widened and she couldn''t help swallowing. Shocked for a moment, he immediately recovered, stood up respectfully, bowed to Xia Yu and shouted, "Boss!" Xia Yu smiled slightly. He had anticipated Huang Xizhao''s reaction. He raised his hand and patted it gently in the air and said, "Don''t be nervous, feel free, sit down and say!" Huang Xizhao immediately nodded in response, and then sat down again, but this time, his body was sitting straight and his back did not dare to lean on the chair. Now that he knows that Xia Yu is the boss, Huang Xizhao must do his best to make the new boss have a better first impression of him. Although the new boss allowed him to be more casual, he wouldn''t take it seriously. When we first met, he didn''t understand the "sex" of the new boss Xia Yu. Who knows if his words are true? So he should do his best as much as possible. "Let''s watch it!" "Yes!" Huang Xizhao respectfully responded and then continued to look at it, but this time, his mind was no longer on it. He tried his best to calm himself down, thinking about how to respond to the new boss''s inquiries later. You don''t need to think about it. The new boss Xia Yu asked him out alone. It was definitely not as simple as letting him know his identity. There must be some other things. Only when he recovers calm can he answer as much as possible to satisfy the boss. After a while, Huang Xizhao handed the contract with both hands to Xia Yu, and respectfully said: "Boss, I''ve finished reading it!" Xia Yu smiled and took it and put it back again, taking a sip from the teacup. Seeing Xia Yu''s action, Huang Xizhao took a deep breath and concentrated on waiting for Xia Yu''s question. Xia Yu nodded secretly and spoke slowly...The most powerful hero of rebirth ~: Sorry, take a leave tonight After going to work this afternoon, I planned to go back to my work unit to get my computer and ride a motorcycle home. However, because I had to pick up people on the road, I went straight back to my house. The temperature was 3-8 degrees today, and it was raining at night. I couldn¡¯t do anything after eating. Go back to the work unit to get the computer. The outline and personal settings are all on the codeword software of that computer. I can¡¯t write on the mobile phone. I can only write the outline and put it on the screen. The unexpected situation tonight makes it impossible. Sorry, sorry everyone. Tomorrow morning I will go back to get the computer, and I will update the code as soon as possible. Chapter 294: Two dogs fight, play off "Can I call you the evening photo?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. "Yes, it''s my pleasure!" Huang Xizhao said quickly, with a flattered expression on her face. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Xizhao, what''s going on inside Li''s TV station? Tell me!" Huang Xizhao didn''t hesitate, and immediately replied: "Boss, now the top of the TV station knows that the boss has changed. It happened to be in a meeting in the morning to discuss this matter, and I was temporarily relieved." "As for the employees at the bottom level, we still don''t know the news. We are also worried that Jiayi TV and TVB will know about it, so we control not to disclose the news." "In general, the TV station is fairly stable inside. As long as you show up, the turbulence will disappear." "If the employees know that the boss is you, they will cheer for joy!" After Huang Xizhao answered truthfully, he gently patted Xia Yu''s flattery, and then it was enough, and looked at Xia Yu quietly. After listening to him, Xia Yu smiled and nodded, showing a satisfied expression and admiring: "It''s a good job!" Controlling the failure to disclose the news was exactly what Xia Yu wanted. Huang Xizhao''s handling method is very sophisticated and indeed worthy of appreciation. Hearing the praise of the new boss, Huang Xizhao was happy, but also showed a humble expression, even saying what he should do. Without staying on this question, Xia Yu continued: "Xizhao, I don''t plan to come forward so soon!" Huang Xizhao was taken aback, did not understand Xia Yu''s meaning, he focused his eyebrows in thought, and said in doubt: "Boss, what do you mean?" Xia Yu did not answer directly, but instead asked: "You should know that Jiayi TV is about to launch an onslaught. If you know that the boss of Li''s TV is replaced by me, is it a good thing or a bad thing for us?" Huang Xizhao shook her head without thinking about it, "It will arouse their vigilance, and it will be detrimental to us." This kind of problem does not need to use your brain. As long as a person is not stupid, he knows that when someone else is about to shoot, it is easy to attract firepower. "Yes, I''ll talk about it after this vent." "By the way, you should have a deep understanding of Jiayi TV Station? Do you think Jiayi TV Station is a paper tiger or a real tiger?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and asked with a smile. Hearing this obviously meaningful question, Huang Xizhao was very cautious and did not answer rashly. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered for a while and thought properly before raising his head to answer. "Although Jiayi TV has been successful for so many years, it has cost a lot of money and a lot of pressure. This is the offensive. I think as long as those shareholders no longer invest money, Jiayi TV should be a paper tiger." "Then do you think the shareholders of Jiayi TV are still willing to invest money?" Xia Yu asked softly. Huang Xi thought for a while, shook her head and said: "It should be difficult, unless this offensive has achieved major gains." "Yes, the key lies in the progress of Jiayi''s July offensive." "The Jiayi TV station made it clear that it is going to the TVB station. You should be familiar with the TV station. You must also know Shao Yifu as a person. Do you think he might sit back and wait for death?" Xia Yu asked again with a smile. "No, Shao Yifu is not the kind of person who silently endures. Although he is old, he does not lack the enthusiasm for head-to-head. He will definitely not be indifferent. Maybe he is also waiting to attack Jiayi TV." Huang Xizhao suddenly shook his head. He was originally a high-ranking member of the TVB station. Naturally, he understands Shao Yifu''s personality very well. Shao Yifu is an old fox and he would never be a white rabbit. Therefore, for the July offensive launched by Jiayi, TVB has been fully prepared for a long time. Several blockbuster TV stations have not set their files yet, just to fight Jiayi TV. So it can be expected that there will be no shortage of excitement this July! "The snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman''s profit. If they want to fight, let them fight. If you lose a lot of skills and it will be difficult to support until the end of the year, we still have to prepare early." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Huang Xizhao heard some signs, but was not sure. Fortunately, Xia Yu didn''t let him waste his brainpower and directly assigned him tasks. "Xizhao, there must be rectification behind Li''s TV station, but I am still very optimistic about your ability, and I still need you to be the general manager." When Xia Yu finished talking, the smile on Huang Xizhao''s face could not be concealed. He nodded and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, the boss, I will not let you down!" "I''ll give you two tasks. You should complete them first, and don''t make mistakes!" "The boss asks you for instructions, I will not let you down!" Huang Xizhao raised her head and chested out, and said firmly with her face. At the same time, she was secretly ruthless in her heart, no matter how difficult the boss''s task was, she had to complete it. "The first one, you send someone to investigate the personnel situation of Jiayi TV station to see who is worth digging, who is digging, and who can be digging, the success rate will be greater." Just after hearing the first order, Huang Xizhao was shocked, realizing that the boss expected Ding Jiayi TV station to fall, and now he was ready to dig the wall. Although he doesn''t know why the boss thinks Jiayi will go bankrupt, he doesn''t bother to think about it, and just follow the boss''s instructions. If the big deal doesn''t happen, he will work for nothing, but he will not lose much, even if the time is wasted. , Just work hard when seen by the boss. Not waiting for Huang Xi to take the order, Xia Yu said the second task. "The second one is internal. Take the time to make statistics of all the internal affairs of Li''s TV station, including personnel, business, expenses, etc., and then hand it to me." "Whoever wants to leave or stay, how much money needs to be injected to develop the TV station, depends on what you report to me, don''t let me down!" As Xia Yu said, he looked straight at Huang Xizhao, the meaning was obvious. Huang Xizhao''s heart shuddered, feeling that the pressure has increased sharply. Although the boss has great power, it is not a test. "Boss rest assured, I will make a report seriously!" Huang Xizhao promised. "Hmm! I am optimistic about you!" Xia Yu smiled and patted Huang Xizhao''s shoulder and said. "If there is any progress, or if you want to find me, just call this number. This is my office number" Xia Yu took out a piece of paper and wrote a number, then pushed the note to Huang Xizhao and said. "Ok!" Huang Xizhao solemnly picked up the note with both hands, took a look, folded it, and carefully put it in his pocket. Then, Xia Yu chatted with Huang Xizhao for a while, only to end the topic when it was too early. Seeing Huang Xizhao driving away, Xia Yu left in the car, and when he was in the car, he smiled relaxedly. Although I saw Huang Xizhao for the first time, Xia Yu still recognized his abilities. As far as Xia Yu knows, Huang Xizhao is a very capable person. When Li¡¯s TV station couldn¡¯t count on the parent company, it was a long time to defeat the TVB and Jiayi TV stations. Relying on ability to fight against other people''s money offensive. If there was no high-level group headed by Huang Xizhao, Li''s TV station might have gone bankrupt. In the previous life, after the collapse of Jiayi, Li''s and TVB competed in Xiangjiang, and Li''s defeated TVB steadily. The ratings of TVB¡¯s trump card variety show "Happy Tonight" have been declining, and TV dramas are even more so. The local wireless network cut all the unit dramas, and the wireless "Emerald Theater" was forced to close down. It can be said that TVB was beaten by Li''s powerlessly, which is enough to reflect the strength of Huang Xizhao''s group of people. It''s a pity that God can''t see it anymore. In the most difficult time, the wireless filmed the drama "Shanghai Beach", and the serfs turned over and sang. Later, because of the parent company, Li''s just slowed down and wanted to fight back, but because the funds were transferred reluctantly gave up various plans, and then the vicious circle came, and I could only watch wireless. Step by step to seal the king. But the previous life is the previous life, and since the TV station of Shili is in Xia Yu''s hands, everything will be completely different. With a group of powerful Huang Xizhao people, and with no shortage of money, but also an amazing vision, Xia Yu with extraordinary ability is here, the future of Li''s TV station will definitely be bright. Of course, the light is a matter for the future, and now the most important thing is to lurch for another month. As long as we seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and grab the excellent assets of Jiayi TV before the TVB responds, it will be able to bridge the gap between Li''s and TVB in an instant, and even overtake it. At that time, it''s time to make a big splash! How much he can swallow depends on how far Huang Xizhao can go back this time. "I believe he won''t let me down!" Xia Yu murmured, leaning on the car and closing his eyes to rest. Chapter 295: Public opinion fermentation After returning, Huang Xizhao began to execute Xia Yu''s orders non-stop to sort out the company''s situation. In addition, on the second day, Huang Xizhao immediately called all the senior officials and held another meeting. At the meeting, Huang Xizhao directly announced that he had met the boss. Although all the senior leaders wanted to know who the new boss was, Huang Xizhao was very clumsy. He just emphasized again and again to let everyone rest assured that the new boss is strong. Very strong. There is no way, all the high-levels can only suppress their strong curiosity in their hearts. Of course, because they knew Huang Xizhao, they were also infected by Huang Xizhao''s confidence. The previous feeling of anxiety and panic was wiped out, and a heart finally fell. Then, Huang Xizhao set up a digging plan for Jiayi TV station. Huang Xizhao also pulled the tiger to pull the flag, declaring that this digging plan is extremely important. It is an assessment given to everyone by the new boss, and everyone is keeping it confidential. On the basis, make the best preparation. A meeting directly clarified the specific implementation steps, and then immediately started action after the meeting. The vitality of Li''s TV station, which has been silent for a long time, has soared, like a huge ship that has run aground, slowly starting again to sail into the vast blue ocean. ... There are two flowers and one branch each. There is a Tao that all things have yin and yang, some succeed and others fail, and some are proud and others lose. When Xia Yu was so busy with his business, the sales fraud of "Sing Tao Daily" was as expected by Xia Yu. Public opinion was not suppressed, but further fermented. On the top floor of the Sing Tao News Corporation Building on Hong Kong Island, Hu Xian, who was middle-aged, had a haggard face, exuding a suffocation, but still could not conceal her inner panic. In front of Hu Xian, Yu Hang, the Minister of the Publishing Department, lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to look at Hu Xian, and even took his breath as lightly as possible. The other high-level executives at the conference table, with a heavy heart, lowered their heads in silence, for fear of attracting the firepower of Chairman Hu Xian to themselves. "boom!" "Yu Hang, didn¡¯t you say it¡¯s impossible to be discovered? It¡¯s nothing more than to be discovered. I asked you to keep the matter down. It¡¯s just a third-rate tabloid, but it¡¯s not settled. I have received a call from fifteen advertisers, you said, how should this end!" Hu Xian slapped heavily on the table, making a loud noise, and her anger was directly covered by the pain from her hands, and she roared. ... He scolded Yu Hang again and vented it. Hu Xian seemed to have taken out all his energy and slumped on the stool. This time, Hu Xian really panicked completely. The continual defeat by Jiuding Newspaper Company before is not the case, because it was only injured at the time, and it can be barely supported. But the current situation is completely different. This crisis is fatal! Credibility is the foundation of the media. But after the sales fraud is exploded, the most serious impact is credibility. If a newspaper sales fraud is exposed, the consequences will be extremely serious. On the one hand, it will lose the trust of readers, and on the other hand, it will cause advertisers to counterattack. After all, no one¡¯s money comes from a strong wind, and advertisers will come to advertise, it is necessary to promote their products, advertising also involves the marketing strategy of each company. But when there is a problem with advertising, for advertisers, wasting money is just a small matter, and it is the most important thing that affects their product marketing. So immediately after the sale of the "Sing Tao Daily" fraud spread, an advertiser called to ask about the situation. Of course, Hu Xian could not admit that he had never done such a thing. After that, other advertisers came to inquire one after another, but Hu Xian refused to admit it. At the same time, Hu Xian acted immediately and asked Yu Hang to investigate what went wrong. On the other hand, he went to buy the third-rate tabloid, hoping to suppress the matter. But I didn''t expect that the third-rate tabloids were a tough one, and neither temptation nor coercion was useful. There is no way, Hu Xian can only pray that this matter will not be over, she dare not use her public opinion influence to attack the third-rate tabloids, because such a consequence will only add fuel to the fire and quickly ferment public opinion. It''s just that the reality is always unsatisfactory. You don''t want it to happen, it just happens in the direction you don''t want. More and more newspapers have joined in, making concerted efforts to stir up this hot spot. The purpose of those newspapers is very simple, and there is only one, that is, the wolves eat tigers, and they want to seize this opportunity to kill Sing Tao News Group. , And then compete for the market that originally belonged to Sing Tao News Group. It''s not that the newspapers are bold, but the crisis is indeed very serious. If you are not careful, Sing Tao News Corporation will face bankruptcy. After all, Sing Tao News Group has signed contracts with major advertisers. As long as Sing Tao News Group can confirm sales fraud, the compensation alone will kill Sing Tao News Group. What''s more, Sing Tao News Group has had a difficult life, and owes a huge amount of money to the bank, and the situation is not dangerous. What''s more, you may be accused of commercial fraud and be punished by law! By then it will be a prison disaster! Because of this, not only Hu Xian, but all the senior executives present are in a heavy heart, and now the company has come to life and death! "You said, what should we do about this? Now is a dangerous time, I hope everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties together!" Hu Xian regained some strength, she asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, and her bloodshot eyes swept across the face of the sitting person indifferently. "Chairman, the matter has become a big deal now and it can no longer be suppressed, but we absolutely cannot admit it, just don''t know if Minister Yu has discovered the problem?" A senior said in a deep voice, looking at Yu Hang with scorching eyes. The key lies in the aviation, as long as you find out where the problem is, then you can think of a solution. Feeling everyone¡¯s eyes converging on him, Yu Hang felt his body heavier, he looked at everyone, then put his gaze on Hu Xian, and reported: "After the incident, I have carefully checked. Once again, it was an employee who was responsible for the destruction of the newspaper that made a mistake. He drank too much alcohol the day before yesterday and told him about it. Now this employee is under my control." Hearing what Yu Hang said, everyone frowned. Unexpectedly, this was the case. The problem was with one employee! Everyone had an urge to scold their mother, especially Hu Xian, who even had the heart to kill the employee. She was like an angry **** and had another attack. After calming down again, she said to Hang: "Since he is drunk, then we will issue a statement to let him admit that he was drunk and talk nonsense, and put all the blame on him. Can you fix him?" "can!" Yu Hang immediately gritted his teeth and nodded in response Minister Yu, are there any other problems? " Hearing an uneasy question from a high-level executive, although he was very uncomfortable, Yu Hang answered honestly: "It should be gone. I have personally destroyed the previously hidden newspapers. As long as no evidence is caught, this matter It should be over." ... "This period is a critical period. I hope everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties. After the meeting, you will calm down your subordinates. Now there can be no more trouble within the company!" After discussing the solution, Hu Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she told other executives who were also somewhat relaxed. "understand!" Everyone drank in unison. "Okay, the meeting is over!" Chapter 296: House seemingly endless rain Not long after Hu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, the bad news came again, and this time it was a real hammer, which gave Hu Xian a heavy blow in his heart! The scene of Yu Hang leading people to destroy the newspaper was secretly photographed and published directly in the newspaper. In addition, there are also a few photos, impressively taking a stack of issues that have been published in Sing Tao Daily. The newspapers that have been sold are neatly piled together, everything goes without saying! As soon as these real photos came out, the entire public opinion of the outside world exploded. The newspapers that were hyping hot instantly stabbed the Sing Tao News Corporation with full confidence. Even the big newspapers that took care of affection at the beginning had no choice but to get involved. No way, as soon as these evidences came out, Sing Tao News Group was nailed to death, and there was no possibility of turning over! This is indeed the case. Originally, this matter was paid attention to by people with interests, such as Chen Youqing, the president of Xiangjiang Commercial Bank. "President, we have to quickly recover the money we loaned to Sing Tao News Group. It will be too late." In Chen Youqing''s office, his manager said solemnly. Chen Youqing did not speak, but frowned and looked at the newspaper on the desk. After a long time, he sighed, looked up at his manager, and asked in a deep voice: "How much deposit does Sing Tao News Group have in our account now?" Chen Youqing is not a stupid person. When he agreed to lend to Sing Tao News Group, he had a requirement that Sing Tao News Group¡¯s future capital turnover should be placed in Xiangjiang Commercial Bank. While attracting customers for itself, it also reduced risks. The meaning of a stop loss. Unexpectedly, one of the original defenses was actually used! "President, there are still 4.253 million Hong Kong dollars in the account!" The manager under him had already been prepared, and even replied. Chen Youqing frowned slightly. He didn''t expect that there were more than five million three days ago, but now there are more than four million left. At the beginning, the loan was given to Sing Tao News Corporation, but it was 10 million Hong Kong dollars. If Sing Tao News Group had no other hidden accounts, then all of its funds now only have this amount, and Xiangjiang Commercial Bank would not be able to recover the loan if it wanted to recover the loan! "This account does not need to be frozen, but Sing Tao News Group is not allowed to raise it again. You can go to Sing Tao News Group again to get the loan back as soon as possible! If they want to withdraw, freeze it immediately!" Chen Youqing ordered. "Ok!" The manager even responded. After his manager went out, Chen Youqing looked at the newspaper on the desktop again, saw the photos, shook his head and sighed, not knowing whether he felt sorry for Hu Xian or sighed for seeing the wrong person. From Chen Youqing''s experience, Sing Tao News Group may really not be able to survive this catastrophe. Because of the cooperation, he knows Sing Tao News Group''s reality better than outsiders. In addition, so far, the Giant Jiuding Newspaper Company has not expressed any views on this matter. Chen Youqing does not believe that Jiuding News will be indifferent to this good opportunity. And before Jiuding News Corp. has not fallen into trouble, Sing Tao News Group is already so dangerous. If Jiuding News Corp. stabbed a few more times to make things worse, the nature will only get worse. Sing Tao News Corporation is almost dead! Once Sing Tao News Corp fell, the shares pledged in his bank were waste, and they could only hope to sell their assets to recover the original! But according to the current situation, those advertisers will definitely not give up, and the compensation will definitely be high. With more wolves and less meat, it is hard to say how many losses can be recovered. Therefore, Chen Youqing can''t care about any affection anymore. He has been able to make up his mind until now, and he has done his best! ... Although Jardine was not founded by the Keswick family, it has been passed down to the third generation of the Keswick family so far. And to this day, the inspection of the fourth generation of helms has also begun. According to historical development, this inspection will continue for five years, after which the Keswick family power transfer ceremony will be held. In a mansion on Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, Charles Keswick puts on a call. "Kyle, you finally called, what happened?" "What?...It''s okay, it''s okay, you don''t have to blame yourself, it''s fine if you are okay..." After a long time, Charles Keswick hung up the phone, and the smile on his face immediately narrowed. He frowned and snorted coldly: "Damn Kyle, this situation can make Xia Yu run away. It''s a waste. , And also said that he was banned by the family, and finally found an opportunity to call, ha ha..." Cursing, Charles Kesekra opened the drawer and took out a plan. He glanced around and threw the plan aside and leaned against the backrest. "The plan was done in vain, huh!" The original plan had a clear division of labor. In the UK, Wu Honglin was the mainstay. Charles Keswick mobilized some family forces to cooperate with Wu Honglin in order to get Xia Yu. After he returned to Xiangjiang, he was responsible for the second half of the plan. After Wu Honglin succeeds, he will start to act, using various methods to seize Xia Yu''s weakness, and force Xia Yu to transfer the equity. It''s a pity that he waited left and right, and didn''t wait for Wu Honglin''s call, so he could only wait forever. But I didn''t expect that, waiting and waiting, Xia Yu actually waited to come back. Obviously, Wu Honglin''s plan failed, otherwise Xia Yu would not return to Xiangjiang safely. After Xia Yu came back, Charles Keswick''s various plans naturally went bankrupt. But after all, after thinking about it, Charles Keswick was not reconciled. He wanted to know what was going on, so he kept calling Wu Honglin, but he didn''t expect that no one answered it until just now that Wu Honglin came back for the first time. Phone. On the phone Wu Honglin made some explanations and has been apologizing. This is already the case, and it will not help to blame Wu Honglin, and it will destroy the relationship between the two. Charles Keswick can only choose to forgive Wu Honglin on the surface. "Fortunately, Xia Yu didn''t know that I was calculating him. This saved me a trouble. Although I am not afraid of him, it is a good thing to be able to save one trouble..." Charles Keswick muttered to himself. On the phone, Charles Keswick also asked Wu Honglin whether Xia Yu knew he was involved. Wu Honglin almost patted his chest and said that he did not know. Charles Keswick thought for a while, but believed Wu Honglin. This is best, as it has never happened! Although he is one of the heirs of Yihe, he is not afraid of Xia Yu with Yihe''s strength, but it is a good thing to have less trouble and one enemy. It''s a pity that when Charles Keswick didn''t take this matter to heart and thought it was over, Xia Yu was already thinking about revenge! Chapter 297: Train 200 people In the next two days, public opinion intensified, all kinds of troubles came to Sing Tao News Group, and Hu Xian dealt with it in a desperate manner. Yan Wenhan has been paying attention to this situation. After learning that Sing Tao News Group was in desperate situation, he was relieved immediately, and he gathered his mind to continue developing Jiuding Newspaper Company, and did not intend to go to bed. Because, the reality shows that there is no need to go to bed! Sing Tao News Group is doomed! That morning, after Xia Yu finished processing the documents, Li Qian immediately massaged Xia Yu''s shoulders, Xia Yuxie smiled, and took Li Qian''s jade hand, pulling the unsuspecting Li Qian into her arms, plump Sitting on Xia Yu''s lap with his hip. "Yeah!" "Xia Yu, no, this is the office. Will you go home?" Li Qian blushed and forced herself to plead softly. "Hey, what are you afraid of, no one dares to come in without knocking on the door, don''t worry!" Xia Yu chuckled, the movements in his hands did not stop, a pair of evil hands got directly into Li Qian''s clothes, playing wantonly. Seeing that Xia Yu couldn''t be stopped, and after so many days, Li Qian was a bit accustomed to Xia Yu''s irregularities, and even shamefully discovered that she no longer resisted this behavior, but rather enjoyed it. Therefore, Li Qian could only bear Xia Yu''s caress with a blushing face, and looked at him with blurred eyes, full of love in her eyes. Just as Xia Yu''s breathing became more and more rapid, a knock on the door sounded. "Boom!" The sudden sound immediately awakened Li Qian. She was like a frightened little rabbit, struggling out of Xia Yu''s arms, and then quickly sorted out her clothes. The comfortable touch is far away, and a sense of loss and regret arises spontaneously. Xia Yu sighs slightly, this feeling of being disturbed is really uncomfortable! However, there were only a few people who would knock on the door, and would not bother him if nothing happened, so Xia Yu couldn''t get angry. "Boom!" "is the boss around?" At this moment, it seemed that there was no movement inside, and the people outside knocked on the door again, and then asked. It''s Yan Shining''s voice! Seeing Li Qian entering the office, Xia Yu said in a deep voice, "Come in!" As Xia Yu''s words fell, the door of the office opened, and Yan Shining walked in without squinting and came to Xia Yu''s desk. Seeing Yan Shining also took a document for an unprecedented time, Xia Yu showed a smile. Yan Shining also smiled, then handed the documents in her hands to Xia Yu, and said, "Boss, take a look. This is the plan I made." Hearing that it was a plan, Xia Yu felt a little curious, wanting to know how Yan Shining''s plan was made, and a little curious about his level. "Then I have to take a good look!" Xia Yu chuckled, then took the plan and looked through it. When Xia Yu was flipping through it, Yan Shining stood upright, but there was a look of anticipation in his eyes, which was mixed with anxiety. With Yan Shining''s ability, it is no problem to build a security system. He was an instructor when he was in the army, and he personally managed a small army, so he definitely does not lack this ability. But making documents and plans is not that simple. Yan Shining has never done it before. At most, he dictates some content and asks his clerical staff to help sort it out. However, after arriving at Xiangjiang, Yan Shining has been around Xia Yu, and he has come into contact with and learned a lot, especially Xia Yu will show him some documents, so he has learned a lot with his ears and eyes. . The plan he made this time used almost everything he had learned, so he did his best! But doing your best is one thing. Whether you do well or not has nothing to do with not doing your best. Boss approval is the most important thing! Xia Yuan flipped through it quietly, not missing a word, and when he saw some key points, he would use a pen circle to make a mark. In Yan Shining''s plan, taking into account the size of Xia Yu''s company and his family situation, he planned to recruit and train a hundred qualified personnel. In addition, I also wrote about the training direction and project name, as well as the training equipment needed. Such as barbells, sandbags, barbed wire, training uniforms, transport trucks, etc. Finally, three sites were provided, which Yan Shining personally explored as suitable training venues. I hope that Xia Yu will get the place to make a training base, and give each site the advantages and disadvantages. Write clearly. After reading this plan, Xia Yu was surprised. Although the writing of the plan is average, even simple and straightforward, there is no lack of logic, and all aspects of the plan are very detailed. Xia Yu can see it at a glance. Out of Yan Shining''s intentions. "Brother Yan, you did a good job of this plan! It''s not much worse than Yan Wenhan." Xia Yu praised with a smile. Yan Shining heard this, his anxiety was wiped out, leaving only happiness in his heart. He smiled, scratched his head and said modestly: "Hey, boss, I don¡¯t dare to compare with Manager Yan. He is a cultural man. It''s the old man, don''t praise me." "Haha!" It''s rare to see Yan Shining''s blushing embarrassment, Xia Yu immediately became happy and couldn''t help but laugh, and Yan Shining also laughed. "Big Brother Yan, I read your plan and did a good job!" "But I want to change it." Yan Shining smiled as soon as Xia Yu finished the first half sentence, but as soon as Xia Yu''s second half sentence came out, Yan Shining immediately recovered his calm and concentrated. "Your plan says to train a hundred people. According to our current situation, it is indeed a bit more than necessary, but I think it is still less!" "Since we need to train the manpower, it is not too much but too little, so we can simply double it and train two hundred people, just don''t know if you can be busy?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked straight at Yan Shining, hoping to get an ideal answer. Xia Yu is rich now, and naturally hopes to be strengthened in terms of force and security! He knows the cruelty of this world. When I was weak before, I didn''t get into the sight of the predators, and when the fundamental interests of others were not touched, others would generally not make insidious tricks. But I haven¡¯t touched it now. According to the speed at which Xia Yu¡¯s strength grows, it will be touched soon, especially if I have to head-to-head with the Jardine consortium. It is very possible to make a black hand! Moreover, the second generation of the Jardine Keswick family had this kind of thinking when they had not touched the interests of the Jardines before, and they also put them into practice. When the interests are really directly violated, the possibility of insidious tricks is very high! So Xia Yu must have enough force to protect himself, his family and his wealth! What''s more, with Xia Yu''s current net worth, training a hundred more people would not cost much, and Xia Yu was willing to spend money on this. Yan Shining said without any hesitation: "No problem, I can manage two hundred people! With Hou Sheng as my deputy, it is absolutely fine!" "Okay, then train two hundred people!" "You said to buy some big trucks as transport vehicles, buy 20, and all the off-road vehicles and other vehicles are provided for you, and the other necessary materials are all purchased by you. You must buy the best! Money is not a problem !" Xia Yu was extremely serious and waved a big hand. Yan Shining nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, boss!" "As for the three training venues you were looking for, I took a look, which one do you think is the most suitable, you only need to consider this, and don''t consider the others!" Hearing this, Yan Shining thought for a while, and said: "The most suitable venue is the third one. The cove at the junction of Kowloon and the New Territories is surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea. There is only one way to get in. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ." "In addition, it is also very suitable for field training courses. Whether it is mountain training or sea training, it is very convenient and can produce results faster!" After Yan Shining finished speaking, he kept silent, waiting for Xia Yu''s decision. "Then this!" "I will buy the place, and then I will find Cheung Kong to level the land as quickly as possible, and build up the required site. Before that, you will perform other procedures that can be carried out." Xia Yu made a decision. "understand!" Yan Shining stood up straight and responded loudly. Then, Xia Yu told Yan Shining a few more words, and Yan Shining happily took the plan and left the office. After Yan Shining left, Li Qian walked out of the room inside, came behind Xia Yu, and squeezed Xia Yu''s shoulders obediently. Xia Yu looked back at her, showing a knowing smile, put his hand on his jade hand, and gently stroked it. Li Qian smiled sweetly, everything was silent. "Ring Ling Ling!" Not long after, the phone on the desk in front of Xia Yu rang. Xia Yu glanced at the caller ID and raised his brow. It was from Wang Qi''s office. Is there any progress? Xia Yu answered the phone while secretly thinking. "Hey!" "Boss, are you free? The bank you arranged for me to find, I have found a suitable one." On the other side of the phone, Wang Qihui reported. Upon hearing this, Xia Yu showed a smile. He looked at his watch, and then said: "Wait for me, I will come now." After talking Xia Yu hung up the phone. "Xia Yu, are you going to Jiuding Securities Company?" Li Qian''s pink lips opened slightly and asked softly. "Well, do you want to go with me?" Xia Yu took Li Qian''s hand, slapped her hand on the smooth back of her hand, and asked softly. "No, I''m in the office. If there is a call, it will be no good to miss things." Li Qian said with a smile. "Well, wait for me to come back!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to go outside. Li Qian quickly helped Xia Yu tidy up her clothes. Xia Yu laughed, kissed Li Qian, and left the office in Li Qian''s shame. Soon, Xia Yu took Li Wuming to Jiuding Securities Company and went straight to Wang Qi''s office. Chapter 298: Target Guangan Bank "Boss, good morning!" After seeing Xia Yu, Wang Qi immediately stood up and greeted respectfully. Xia Yu nodded, and after sitting down, he went straight to the subject and asked, "Which bank did you find?" "Boss, look, this is Guang''an Bank. This is the detailed information of Guang''an Bank." As Wang Qi said, he gave the investigation report to Xia Yu. After reading it, Xia Yu pondered for a while and found that it did meet the requirements. In Hong Kong, there are hundreds of financial institutions, large and small, of which there are hundreds of banks alone, but most of them are small banks, accounting for about 75% of the total, and medium-sized banks accounting for 20%. Large banks accounted for about 5%. Guangan Bank is a small bank, and its main business is commercial banking and asset management. It has not obtained securities issuance, insurance and other business chain licenses, but Guangan Bank has a subsidiary financial audit company. Guang''an Bank was established in 1938 by the former municipal council member and chairman Mr. Liang Jiyi. After the death of Mr. Liang Jiyi in 1972, Dr. Liang Dingbang took over the family business. According to historical development, Guangan Bank will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1996 and acquired by the Singapore Development Bank in 1998. After that, it will be forced to delist and renamed dbs Guangan Bank. In 2003, the bank was merged into DBS Bank ( Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. However, at present, Guangan Bank has a capital of about 200 million Hong Kong dollars, but a debt of 190 million Hong Kong dollars. The load rate is too high and the business situation is average. It has a total of 5 branches, located on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories, Old Town and Singapore. However, the branch in Singapore was just established the year before, and the business is still in the pioneering period. Although Guang''an Bank has many disadvantages and its business situation is not good, Xia Yu doesn''t care at all, but is more satisfied, because the cost of the acquisition will be lower! Don''t forget Xia Yu''s original intention to acquire a bank. The most important thing is to own a bank so that he can have a capital turnover center. To put it bluntly, Xia Yu just needs a bank license! But it takes a while to apply for a bank license, and Xia Yu doesn''t want to wait. Even if a license is obtained, it will take a while to start a new bank. But now Xia Yu alone lacks time. He has no time to establish a bank from scratch. His plan is about to be executed, and he is stuck at the bank. So owning a bank in the cheapest way became Xia Yu''s first choice. As for how poor the acquired bank was before, Xia Yu doesn''t care, as long as it is not insolvent, he is not afraid! For example, Guang''an Bank has a capital of 200 million yuan and a debt of 190 million yuan. The debt ratio is as high as 95%, which has exceeded the bank''s normal debt ratio line of 92% or less, and net assets are left with 10 million Hong Kong dollars. But Xia Yu didn''t care at all. He has more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds. As long as he puts it in, the debt ratio of Guangan Bank can directly drop to more than ten percent. And don¡¯t forget that Xia Yu still has several large companies. If the capital turnover is also put in Guangan Bank, then Guangan Bank can definitely become a medium-sized bank, and it is not the bottom one! As for the lack of licenses of Guang''an Bank, almost only the two licenses of commercial banks and asset management, Xia Yu did not care. The fact that Guang''an Bank does not have this license does not mean that Xia Yu does not! Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has almost all the licenses that Guang''an Bank lacks. As long as the acquisition is obtained, the two will complement each other. If they are more, they will be waste, and Xia Yu will have to pay a higher price. Speaking of this, I have to talk about the difference between banks. In the world, except for special institutions such as the World Bank, Central Bank, and Policy Bank, banks are mainly divided into two categories: commercial banks and investment banks. The responsibility of commercial banks is to undertake credit intermediary financial institutions through deposit, loan, exchange, savings and other businesses. The main business scope is to absorb public deposits, issue loans, and handle bill discounts. Generally, commercial banks do not have the right to issue currency. Of course, there are exceptions because of the specialities of some places. For example, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. The counterpart of commercial banks is investment banks. Investment banks are non-bank financial institutions that are mainly engaged in securities issuance, underwriting, trading, corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, investment analysis, venture capital, project financing, etc., and are the main financial intermediaries in the capital market. Investment bank is the name of the United States and the European continent, the United Kingdom calls it a merchant bank, and in island countries and the mainland it refers to a securities company. So in fact, Jiuding Securities Company owned by Xia Yu is an investment bank! There are three main organizational forms of investment banks: one is an independent professional investment bank. There are more of this type of institutions, all over the world, and they have their own business directions, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the United States. The second is investment banks owned by commercial banks, mainly commercial banks through mergers and acquisitions of other investment banks, equity participation or establishment of subsidiary companies to engage in investment banking business. This form is very typical in countries such as Britain and Germany, such as HSBC Group and UBS Group. . The third is that universal banks directly operate investment banking business. This form mainly appears in Europe. Banks are engaged in investment banking business at the same time they are also engaged in commercial banking business. This kind of business is relatively rare now, and it can even be said that there are almost few. After the United States implemented the "Financial Service Modernization Act" in March 1999, it would appear on a large scale. Since the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 in the United States, commercial banks must be separated from investment banking. The purpose is to prevent commercial banks from harming the interests of depositors, transferring funds to investment and allowing depositors to take huge risks. This system has been referenced and imitated by almost most of the world''s active financial industry and developed countries. However, since the 1970s, due to the development of mathematics, finance, statistics and other disciplines, as well as the development of technology and social changes, commercial banks have been struggling to operate, and many banks have fallen into business difficulties and collapsed. Especially in 1997, the world economic crisis led to the gradual disintegration of this system. In 2000, the Chase Manhattan Bank of the Rockefeller Financial Center merged with the J.P. Morgan Company of the Morgan Consortium, and several other banks were acquired one after another. Finally, an all-round hybrid group emerged. The emergence of is the beginning. Countries such as Europe, America and island countries have set off a wave of bank mergers and acquisitions. In order to better respond to competition, all-round hybrid banks have emerged. However, in this era, even in the special circumstances of Heung Kong, the all-round hybrid bank is not allowed to appear. But Xia Yu didn''t care either. After the acquisition of a commercial bank, Jiuding Securities was not allowed to merge with it. It didn''t matter to Xia Yu. Even if you really want to do it, imitate the second model, just like HSBC, let the commercial bank hold a part of Jiuding Securities Company''s shares and hand over the business to Jiuding Securities Company. But this is not necessary, because when the time comes to acquire a commercial bank, it will serve as the financial center of its subsidiaries, and the shares will never be transferred, so there is a left-handed relationship. There is no need to do anything extra, as long as he can implement his will. After such analysis and consideration, Guangan Bank is indeed a very suitable target for acquisition. Just don''t know how difficult the acquisition is? Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked: "Wang Qi, are you sure that the Liang family will sell Guangan Bank?" Upon hearing this, Wang Qi nodded heavily and said, "I''m sure!" "Boss, the Liang family did intend to make a move. I have asked someone to verify this news. There is a reason. I will report it to you." "After the death of the old patriarch of the Liang family in 1972, the new patriarch Liang Dingbang is now in charge of Guang''an Bank. However, Liang Dingbang''s volition is to be in politics. He has now obtained the qualification of a private practice barrister and is ready to join the Xiangjiang government for official career." "And the Liang family has withered, and Liang Dingbang¡¯s only younger brother has no financial talent. It is in this situation that Guangan Bank will develop into this way. Before the Liang family¡¯s old patriarch, the debt ratio of Guangan Bank was all Around 90%, it won¡¯t reach the current 95%!" "So if we want to buy Guangan Bank, the Liang family should be willing to let it go." After Wang Qi reported in one breath, he hesitated for a while, and still bit the bullet and continued: "Of course, Liang Dingbang intends to enter politics. With your strength as the boss, you can fully support him. When they disagree, if you throw With this condition, it should be no problem." After finishing speaking, Wang Qi lowered his head in anxious manner, not daring to see the deep gaze of the boss Xia Yu. Although his starting point is good, he is still a bit suspicion of overstepping anyway. Arranging the way for the boss is really wrong. When Wang Qi finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at him tremblingly with a blank face, not knowing what he was thinking. For a long time, when Wang Qi was about to be unable to hold it, Xia Yu said indifferently: "Let''s not take it as an example!" "Yes Yes!" Wang Qi was pardoned, his head lit like a chicken pecking at rice. In fact, Xia Yu was not angry, just reminded Wang Qi. But having said that, Wang Qi''s mind is really good, and his vision and outlook are even bigger. Supporting Liang Dingbang is indeed beneficial to Xia Yu. Let Liang Dingbang become one of his ambassadors in politics. It is of great benefit to Xia Yu and can stabilize and expand his influence. And now it can also be used as a condition for the Liang family to let go of Guangan Bank. For Liang Dingbang, Xia Yu also remembered who he was. Later generations have served as the chairman of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, the chief consultant of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the assistant director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Deputy Commissioner of the High Court, and Hua Xia Bank. , Independent non-executive director of China Life Insurance and Xinhua Insurance. Therefore, this is a talent who has not yet emerged! If he can be gathered under his command and let him become his own political agent, with Xia Yu''s support, it is really possible to help him reach the highest position, the worst, the top three positions can also be imagined. UU reading www. uukanshu.com At that time, if the political circles have the support of Liang Dingbang, Xia Yu''s Jiuding enterprise is absolutely as stable as Mount Tai! Of course, the premise is to be able to earn Liang Dingbang under his command! "It seems that when we buy Guang''an Bank, we can ask him out to see you!" Xia Yu thought secretly, taking this matter to heart. "Wang Qi, the acquisition of Guang''an Bank is up to you. When it''s critical, you can do as you say." Xia Yu said lightly. Wang Qi was overjoyed and immediately nodded and said: "Okay!" "Be careful!" Xia Yu reminded. "understand!" Wang Qi solemnly promised. Chapter 299: The old bottom of the Jardine Foundation Not long after returning to the office of Jiuding Newspaper, Xia Yu received another piece of good news. Lin Shanyuan and others had already made a clear analysis of the status of the Jardine Consortium. Xia Yu couldn''t wait to come to the economic research room and found Lin Shanyuan. "Xia Sheng, this is the compiled information." Seeing Xia Yu striding in, Lin Shanyuan smiled, picked up a large pile of materials that had just been packed, and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it with a smile, flipped through it at random, and probably had a bottom in his heart. He smiled and said, "Professor Lin, your efficiency is very fast!" Lin Shanyuan smiled heartily when he heard the words, and explained: ¡°Jihe¡¯s volume is too big, and there are many companies under it. When working on "Economics" before, the Jardine Consortium was the focus of research. Most of these materials are very good. I¡¯ve collected it a while ago, otherwise, I¡¯ll find it in a few days." Xia Yu nodded silently, shook the information in his hand, and said to Lin Shanyuan: "Keep busy, I''ll take a look!" "Xia Sheng walk slowly!" After getting the information, Xia Yu returned to his office and began to understand the details of Yihe. Although this stack of data has been cut and screened by the Economic Research Office, it is still at least one centimeter thick. This shows that the Jardine Consortium is complex and powerful. Not much to say, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and checked it quietly. "Shasha...shasha..." In the sound of the paper rubbing, time passed quickly, and two hours passed without knowing it. "Xia Yu, do you want to take a break and take a look, your eyes will not be able to stand it for so long." Seeing Xia Yu blinking his eyes vigorously, Li Qian, who stayed quietly reading a book, came over and said distressedly. "It''s okay, I just finished watching!" Xia Yu said with a smile, then closed his eyes and thought. Li Qian saw this and walked behind Xia Yu to help him press his temples. Feeling the soft and warm touch from the back of his head, Xia Yu''s heart loosened, and he turned around playfully, causing Li Qian''s chest to tremble violently. "Oh, make a fool of yourself again, don''t move, okay?" Li Qian endured the strangeness and said slyly, but did not stop the movement of her hand, and continued to help Xia Yu relax by pressing the temples. Xia Yu didn''t make any fuss anymore, quietly enjoying Li Qian''s comfort, his brain turned frantically, and the companies and related information of the Jardine Department were skipped in his mind. The Jardine Consortium is indeed the biggest giant in Hong Kong. It has a huge number of companies involved in all walks of life, and has reached out to thousands of households. Although on the ranking list, the Jardine Group, which can best represent the strength of the Jardine Consortium, only ranks second, below HSBC. But if you really think that the current HSBC Bank is stronger than the Jardine Consortium, it would be a big mistake! The market value of the Jardine Group is not as high as that of HSBC, but there are also many companies listed under the Jardine Matheson Group, such as Land Corporation, which is ranked fifth, Wharf, which is ranked 28th, and more than a dozen in the top 100. the company. Between one hundred and five hundred, there are dozens of companies established by or under the Jardine Group! Although most of them are equity participation and a small part of the holding, in terms of influence, Jardine Group is indeed no worse than HSBC! In terms of finance, Jardine Insurance has 46% of its shares, ptbank.permatatbk, the sixth largest bank in Indonesia, and some other banks and securities companies with equity participation. In terms of retail department stores, the most obvious is the Dairy Company, which originally belonged to Chinese merchants, but was snatched by Jardine in 1972 and then privatized. The Dairy Company owns a lot of land. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the King of Xiangjiang Land. However, most of the land has not been used. Instead, it is used for retail department stores. The first supermarket in Xiangjiang was opened by the Dairy Company. In terms of machinery manufacturing, Jardine Machinery Group, established in 1923, specializes in providing electrical, mechanical and construction technology service providers, providing products and procurement, contract engineering and technology for the building, energy, transportation and infrastructure industries. Services, business all over Asia, is one of the core enterprises of the Jardine consortium. In terms of construction engineering, the landmark is the subsidiary Golden Gate Construction Co., Ltd., which was also snatched by Jardine. It was privatized in 1975. The famous Golden Gate Building in Hong Kong was rebuilt after Golden Gate Construction bought the Golden Bell Barracks. The Golden Gate Construction is currently The main contractor of many construction projects in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region is commonly known as a large contractor. In the automobile manufacturing and trading industry, there is the Jardine Motors Group, which is mainly engaged in manufacturing, which has Indonesia¡¯s largest automobile manufacturer and motorcycle manufacturer; and Renfushang Co., Ltd., which operates automobile distributors, which sells automobiles. And the service sector ranks among the top three in Hong Kong, and its strength is very strong, but it is worth mentioning that Renfu Co., Ltd. was also acquired by Jardine in 1973. In terms of real estate, let alone, the Land Group and Wharf Group, Jardine''s left arm and right arm. In addition, there are two major property management companies: Zhibang Property and Yicao Property; in addition, they have also invested in some real estate companies in Southeast Asia. In terms of shipping, there are three most prominent companies, Jardine Shipping, Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and Jardine Airport Services, which have outstanding presence in various fields. In terms of catering, the Jardine Catering Group belongs to Jardines. Both KFC and McDonald¡¯s have been taken over by the Jardine Catering Group. Therefore, the Jardine Catering Group is also a dominant player in the field of catering services! In addition to some of the core companies mentioned above, Jardine Matheson has also participated in many companies. Since entering 1970, Jardine has made great strides in its development, acquiring, grabbing, and annexing other companies. At the same time, it has continuously established new subsidiaries. Although the financial situation has become tight, it is undeniable that the strength of the Jardine consortium has also exploded. Has grown in style! However, although the strength of the Jardine consortium is strong, Xia Yu is not afraid, because Jardine has many weaknesses! Jardine bought everywhere, where did such a large sum of money come from? Part of it is bank loans, part of the profits of the company''s business operations, but part of it is the proceeds from listing of its subsidiaries! Cashing out will reduce the equity of the company under its control, but it will not allow the company to lose control, so Jardine has adopted a cross-holding approach. The Jardine Group is controlled by Jardine Holdings, and the Jardine Group controls other companies. In addition, Jardines Holdings also holds a part of the equity of Jardines Pacific; while Jardines Pacific also holds a part of the company, and Jardines Pacific holds part of the equity of Jardines Holdings. In this way, under the cross-shareholding , it is possible to achieve control of its subsidiaries while holding a small portion of the equity. But after all these years, there are still problems! If according to historical development and the rapid development of Chinese business strength, the Keswick family discovered the crisis and established the third holding company Jardine Strategy in 1980, allowing Jardine Holdings, Jardine Strategies, and Jardine Pacific The company cross-holds shares, maintains its rule, and resists acquisitions by Chinese businessmen. But now it is 1978, and the Jardine strategy has not appeared, so naturally there are opportunities. After thinking about it, Xia Yu has selected two sniper targets. These two targets are not difficult to operate and are not small in size, but they are within Xia Yu''s tolerance and are both the core enterprises of the Jardine Consortium. . By that time, as long as you do it, you can definitely make a joke! "These are the two goals!" Xia Yu picked out the information of the two targets, looked at the names on them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chapter 300: Clear obstacles for the upcoming war ? Jardine Machinery Group! Jardine Air Cargo Station! These two companies are the targets selected by Xia Yu. Among them, Jardine Air Cargo Terminal is a franchise company of Heung Kong Air Transport. It signed an air transport franchise agreement with the Hong Kong government in 1971, which can be said to be a monopoly business. The Jardine Air Cargo Terminal currently has a market value of about 500 million Hong Kong dollars. It is controlled by Jardine Pacific, accounting for 35.85%, and belongs to the core enterprise of the Jardine Consortium. Holding does not mean that the proportion of equity must reach 50% or more. If it reaches 50% or more, it is absolute holding, and no one can steal it. However, in Hong Kong, most listed companies have a controlling shareholder''s shareholding ratio of about 30 to 40%, or even lower. For example, as the controlling shareholder of Wharf, Hongkong Land Group actually accounts for 100% of the shares. In his early twenties. Therefore, 35.85% of Jardine Pacific Holdings is already relatively high. With the strength of the Jardine Foundation, let alone whether anyone has the guts to provoke them. Even if someone dares to provoke them, with the strength and ability of the Jardine consortium, they can increase their shareholding to more than 50% in the shortest time. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to successfully acquire the Jardine Air Cargo Station. Of course, Xia Yu didn''t plan to acquire the Jardine Air Cargo Station. His purpose was to sniper and blackmail. The Jardine Machinery Group is more powerful than the Jardine Air Cargo Station. The total market value is 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars. In recent years, many companies have been acquired on a large scale. The digestion is almost the same, and it will probably not be long before the growth rate will reach a new high. Jardine Machinery Group, with Jardine Holdings accounting for 37.1%, is still 13% short of the absolute holding line, and there is also an opportunity. For these two companies, as long as Xia Yu has a mental arithmetic and unintentional, he can definitely scare the Jardine consortium and force them to spend more money to increase their shares. At that time, Xia Yu will use public opinion to create an atmosphere. Even if Jardine doesn''t accept the shares he bought, he can still make money and leave the market at a high price. Jardine will definitely prevent Xia Yu from killing his carbine and dare not reduce his holdings to cash out. Once the heat is over, the stock price that goes up will still fall, and it will not be cheap for the Jardine consortium. The combined market value of these two companies is about 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. If he hadn''t made so much money from gambling on football, Xia Yu would never dare to move. If he wanted to move, he would have to wait until the year of the monkey. But now there are more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in the Galaxy Fund''s account. It is absolutely not a problem to move these two companies! "Now that the target is selected, the bank is left behind. As long as the bank gets it, you can transfer funds to start operation!" "But before that, we still have to equip the staff of the Galaxy Fund. Presumably Wang Qi has almost screened out people!" Xia Yu put down the information, leaned on the chair and thought with Erlang''s legs upright. After talking to Wang Qi about the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu then arranged for him to prepare manpower. Otherwise, if there are no operators, the Galaxy Fund is completely empty. Could it be possible for Xia Yu to operate more than one billion funds by himself? This is not the Internet age, and it is impossible for one person to do it. If it is the Internet age, Xia Yu can pat his chest and say that there is no problem. But now, no! Although it is an emergency deployment of manpower, the manpower can definitely be extracted. Because since the establishment of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., it has not stopped the pace of recruitment and expansion. The recruitment announcement has been posted on the right side of the company''s gate and has never been torn off! This is also due to Xia Yu''s foresight. Xia Yu thought clearly from the beginning. In the early stage, the factor restricting the development of Jiuding Securities was no longer how to find profit goals, but talent! Talent who can faithfully execute his plan and implement his ideas. These talents do not need to be top-notch, only mid-to-high-end and solid ability. Of course, if there are top talents, that would be great! No one will dislike the talents of his men! Then, Xia Yu called Wang Qi and learned that everyone had been selected, but Xia Yu needed to make specific appointments and arrangements. Xia Yu asked him to hand over the list of selected members, and he would check it again based on his own understanding, and by the way, use the next period of secret inspection to determine the appointment of specific personnel. After all, the selected manpower has to participate in the operation of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, so Xia Yu cannot be careless! ... Time flies like a white horse, and two days flicker by. The acquisition of Guang''an Bank finally reached a critical period. When Wang Qi vaguely stated that Xia Yu was willing to support Liang Dingbang in politics, the Liang family finally let go, but the premise did want to meet Xia Yu. "..." "Boss, this is the situation." In the office of Jiuding Securities Company, after Wang Qi reported, he respectfully stood in front of Xia Yu, waiting for Xia Yu''s decision. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Promise them, but time..." Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then said again: "It''s the morning after tomorrow!" "Also, you tell them, I have set the time, the courtesy exchanges, the place is set by them." The Liang family''s request to see Xia Yu is nothing more than Xia Yu''s promise and confirm the conditions. If it can be negotiated, then Guang''an Bank''s transaction will go smoothly and profitably. If it is not negotiated, it will be difficult to say. Although Xia Yu was anxious to ask for a bank, when the critical period came, Xia Yu was not in a hurry. According to the current situation, the probability of Guangan Bank being acquired is no less than 80%. With such a high probability, if he hurries to meet the Liang family, he will appear to be quite anxious. After the negotiation is settled, the Liang family may also raise the price according to Xia Yu''s urgency. So it''s better to wait for two days and stay the Liang family for a while, and it will be more beneficial to him when the time comes. "Okay, I will notify them later!" Wang Qi nodded. "By the way, you can arrange another fundraising reception next week. We are going to set up a new fund." Xia Yu continued. Wang Qi was taken aback and was very surprised, but then a strong feeling of joy surged in his heart. It is indeed time for Jiuding Securities to continue to raise funds, or it should have raised funds long ago! Huijin No. 1 and Huizhong No. 1 have long since stabilized. Jin Jiajun and Ai Lewen are getting more relaxed. It''s time to set up a new fund to give them a burden! However, Xia Yu had been in the UK before. If he wanted to raise funds, many people came for Xia Yu. If Xia Yu was not there, the scale of fundraising would definitely be short, so Wang Qi did not rush to a large scale. Fundraising. "Boss, I will arrange for someone to do the invitation later, but can I ask, how much do we raise this time?" Wang Qi asked expectantly. "This time, three funds will be established, namely Huijin No. 2, Huizhong No. 2 and Changqing No. 1. Each fund has a base of 50 million and an upper limit of 200 million!" Xia Yu said his thoughts. "Great!" Wang Qixi smiled openly. If every fund raises 200 million yuan, then Jiuding Securities will almost double its strength. Why is he unhappy? Then he raised his brow and asked curiously: "Boss, what is the nature of this Evergreen No. 1 Fund? Who will manage it?" "This Evergreen No. 1 Fund will be handled by you, mainly for clients in the political and police circles. We need these contacts, do you understand?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Wang Qi nodded heavily, paying attention to Xia Yu''s meaning. "It seems that this fundraising is not just for raising money. I said how the boss can set up a fund." Wang Qi said inwardly. The Jardine consortium was about to go, but before the war, three funds were set up again, and the purpose was self-evident. One purpose is to prepare ammunition for the war, improve the strength and firepower of the offensive, and ensure the success of the war as much as possible. The other purpose is also for the war, mainly to clear away potential obstacles outside the game. The straightforward point is to pull friends and reduce the risk of uncertainty. As long as senior officials in the political and police circles have invested money in Evergreen Fund and become shareholders, when Jiuding Securities Company attacks Jardine, they will help Jiuding Securities? Or help Yihe? Helping Jiuding Securities is to make money for themselves; if you help Yihe, Jiuding Securities loses, and what they lose is their money. So the Evergreen No. 1 Fund to be established is a pit, let them jump in automatically and forcibly tie them to Xia Yu''s chariot! At the worst, let them not help Yihe and not become Xia Yu''s enemy! After all, in the business world, Xia Yu can avoid the Jardine consortium at all, but he is afraid that Jardine uses other methods. With the influence accumulated by Jardine for more than 100 years, Xia Yu would be really tricky if he wanted to use methods outside the business world, or even directly use political methods to rectify him. Therefore, in order to prevent this extremely possible situation, Xia Yu took precautions and pulled a group of political allies first. Even if the strength is weak, it is better to have no resistance. As long as it lasts for a period of time, Xia Yu is completely sure to achieve his goals in the business world. Changqing No. 1 serves the political and police circles. The other Huizhong No. 1 and Huijin No. 1 are prepared for the business community and the rich. They are also pulling allies and increasing influence. Interest is the best relationship link As long as those people see that Xia Yu can lead them to make money, they will definitely not want Xia Yu to fall. In this case, if Xia Yu is in trouble, help him There will be many invisible hands, and many troubles will be silently resolved at the beginning. "Wang Qi, inform Ai Lewen and Jin Jiajun to sort out the investment return tables of Huizhong No. 1 and Huijin No. 1. How much money can be raised? Needless to say the importance of these two transcripts?" Xia Yu exhorted. Wang Qi nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "I understand, I will never get out of the basket!" Whether you can make money, the return on investment has the final say! No matter what you said, it''s not as useful as a transcript! As long as investors can see that the investment in Jiuding Securities is profitable, and the return is high, they will rush to send money without saying a word. Benefits come first, this is reality! Chapter 301: Bumped into ?Jin Wuxi falls, jade rabbit rises eastward. The time of the day passed quickly in the busy schedule. That night, Xia Yu did not go home to live, but came to the nest with Li Qian. When Xia Yu was with Li Qiangian, at Xia Yu''s home, Xia Xiaomei was holding the phone and chatting with He Chaoqiong, who was far away in Omen. "...My eldest brother, I don¡¯t know where he has been. He won¡¯t go home tonight. Sister Chaoqiong, do you have anything to tell my elder brother? I will help you tell him..." "Oh, okay, sister Chaoqiong, you must come tomorrow, I''ll be waiting for you at home... Well, goodbye sister!" Xia Xiaomei put down the phone, her face wrinkled slightly, and she muttered: "Big brother doesn''t know where he went. He won''t go home the next night. Sister Qiong will come back to play with him tomorrow. I don''t know if I can find it. " At the same time, in the He family mansion far away in Omen, He Chaoqiong also put down the phone in front of the bed. She strongly requested that the home be installed in her room. The purpose is self-evident. "Xia Yu is not at home, where can he go at night?" He Chaoqiong walked to the balcony lightly, looking at the dark night sky and the sky full of stars, thinking in a dream. For some reason, there was a trace of anxiety in He Chaoqiong''s heart, she thought carefully, and the image of Li Qian that she saw at the airport a month ago appeared in her mind. "Probably not, Xia Yu likes me..." He Chaoqiong murmured, his words were still very firm at first, but slowly became quieter, seeming lack of confidence. Then, the sense of crisis in her heart grew stronger, and a panic appeared on He Chaoqiong''s pretty face. "No, I believe Xia Yu!" He Chaoqiong''s hand was unknowingly placed on her chest, and she firmly grasped the suet white jade pendant. The smooth and moist feeling of the pendant calmed her a little panic, which seemed to give her unparalleled courage. Every day, as long as she thinks of Xia Yu, she can''t help stroking this beloved pendant, and then the handsome smile of Xia Yu''s sunshine will appear in front of her eyes. Under such day and night thinking, Xia Yu''s figure has already imprinted an indelible mark in her heart, even He Chaoqiong has not noticed it, or a little girl of her age has found it at all. No more. The night breeze blew on the balcony again, and after listening to the insects for a while, He Chaoqiong returned to the house and slept in bed. She wants to rest early tonight, and she will go to Kowloon to see Xia Yu to play tomorrow! Since Xia Yu doesn''t know that she is coming, that''s okay. When the time comes, she suddenly appears, maybe you can give Xia Yu a surprise! With a beautiful vision, He Chaoqiong smiled at the corner of his mouth, put his right hand on his chest and covered the suet jade pendant, and fell asleep sweetly. ... The next day, after Xia Yu finished punching, he happened to see Li Qian, who was wearing a scarf, coming out with a steaming breakfast. "Honey, sit down, it just happens to be done." Seeing Xia Yu coming in, Li Qian smiled sweetly and said softly. "Let me see what is delicious?" Xia Yu showed expectation and came to the table with a scent of fragrance. Xia Yu couldn''t help taking two deep breaths. "It''s so fragrant!" "It''s seafood porridge. Last time you said you liked the seafood porridge made by your aunt since you were a kid, I just made a little bit. My craftsmanship is not good. I wonder if it will taste bad." Li Qian said with a smile. Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling when he heard the words. He couldn''t remember when he told Li Qian, but Li Qian remembered it in his heart, and even got up early to make porridge for him. Xia Yu can clearly feel this affection. In fact, although I have not been with Li Qian for a long time, I have shared a deep understanding of the same bed. Xia Yu knows that Li Qian is a very simple person, with a simple mind and a gentle personality, giving people a sense of comfort like a spring breeze, just like The big sister next door is average. A woman like Li Qian is not suitable for publicity, and her character also determines that she cannot be a strong woman in business. But if she is simply a good wife and mother, and taking care of internal affairs, Li Qian is completely suitable. After her husband is tired for a day, he can soothe his tired soul and let him completely relax. After such a short period of time, Xia Yu has become a little dependent. He seems to understand the meaning of Bai Juyi''s poem "Since then, the king will not reign early." "Come and taste it." Li Qian took out a bowl, scooped a bowl, and said to Xia Yu. "Well, it''s delicious!" Xia Yu ate a spoonful and said in admiration. When Li Qian heard the words, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyebrows were covered with joy. "..." After eating breakfast beautifully, Xia Yu tidied up and looked at his watch, and then said to Li Qian, "Cici, are you going to the company or resting at home this Saturday?" Xia Yu''s company is destined to operate every day, so he implements a rotation system, and half of the people are on duty on Saturdays and Sundays. As for a boss like him, he actually doesn''t need to go, but he is also idle when he is idle. It''s better to do more now, so he simply goes to the company when he is fine on Saturday. "I''ll go with you." Li Qian said without hesitation. She doesn''t know what to do when she stays at home, so she might as well stay at the company, at least she can stay with Xia Yu and feel more at ease. "Then let''s go!" Then, Xia Yu took Li Qian out together. Li Wuming and others had been waiting in the car outside. After getting on the car, the car started and drove in the direction of Jiuding Newspaper Company. When the car stopped in front of the company, it was immediately discovered. In a small shop not far from the company, He Chaoqiong had been waiting long ago, looking in the direction of Jiuding Newspaper Company. He Chaoqiong did not go to Jiuding Newspaper Company to look for Xia Yu, because she did not see Xia Yu''s car parked below, knowing that Xia Yu had not come. Of course, if you wait for a long time and don''t see Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong will choose to go in and let people find Xia Yu. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally saw Xia Yu''s car. He Chaoqiong stood up happily, trying to run towards Xia Yu''s car. But she just took a step, but her steps stopped again, the smile on her face froze for an instant, and she stared blankly in one direction, seeming to see an incredible scene. Following He Chaoqiong''s sight, I saw the car door opened, Xia Yu smiled and took Li Qian''s hand out, with one hand still on the top of the car door, as if he was afraid of Li Qian''s knock. What saddened He Chaoqiong most was the expression Xia Yu and Li Qian showed. From He Chaoqiong''s point of view, that kind of care and affection is absolutely true. She had that expression when she was with Xia Yu before. That kind of love from the heart cannot be concealed at all! "How could this happen, it won''t...it won''t..." He Chaoqiong''s eyes instantly turned red, and he muttered to himself unacceptably. She tried to run to ask questions several times, but found that she couldn''t move. Although a month ago He Chaoqiong said in front of her brother that he didn''t care about Xia Yu having other women, but when things happen, how can one expect her as a little girl to really not care? She obviously knew Xia Yu first, but because Xia Yu left Xiangjiang for nearly a month, she became like this. That kind of sadness and grievance is really not something ordinary people can experience. "Miss, are you okay?" The bodyguard beside He Chaoqiong asked with concern. "Woo..." It was okay for the bodyguard not to ask. At this question, He Chaoqiong burst into tears. She couldn''t help but knelt down and cried with her headache. Everyone else could feel the sense of despair, and the bodyguard trembled and moved her face. Xia Yu didn''t know what happened here, he was entering the company with Li Qian. If he looks back, he should be able to find He Chaoqiong. It''s a pity, if it is a if after all, the one who should come will always come... Chapter 302: He Youguangs Roar When it was almost noon, Xia Yu received a call from home. It was from his younger sister and asked him if He Chaoqiong had come to him. Xia Yu directly said no, but heard her sister say that He Chaoqiong said she would come to him, she was still waiting to play with him! After that, my sister hung up the phone disappointedly, and Xia Yu didn''t take it to heart, just because Chaoqiong suddenly had something to do and didn''t come. Only after four o''clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu received a call from He Youguang, asking if he had seen He Chaoqiong. He Chaoqiong is missing! "What? How could it happen? Chao Qiong never came to me. I haven''t seen her for a day. Didn''t Chao Qiong come to Kowloon?" Xia Yu said to He Youguang on the other end of the phone in astonishment. "My sister went to Kowloon early in the morning and saw what she shouldn''t have seen. Now she has thrown away her bodyguard and disappeared. I tell you, if my sister has an accident, I will never end with you!!!" He Youguang''s angry roar came from the phone, and Xia Yu could fully imagine how the gentle and gentle He Youguang would look on the phone. "Dududu..." Xia Yu just wanted to speak, but a busy voice came. He looked at the phone in his hand in astonishment, his expression gloomy. By now, he was still at a loss. He really didn''t know that He Chaoqiong was coming to him, and he didn''t know what He Youguang said he saw something that shouldn''t be seen, and he was as if he had committed a heinous crime. But anyway, He Youguang didn''t need to lie to him, He Chaoqiong must have disappeared, and because of an accident because he came to him, he must bear certain responsibilities. "Xia Yu, are you going out?" Li Qian asked softly, there was no strange color on her face. In fact, she heard all the voice on the phone, but did not show it. After all, she was really guilty of He Chaoqiong anyway. "Well, I''m going to find someone, now she is gone, I will make a few calls first." Xia Yu hurriedly finished speaking, then picked up the phone and called Xia Lei. "Are, you help me find someone..." Then Xia Yu called Li Chunqiu again. He knew that Li Chunqiu was not easy. His eldest son Li Wuyang had a certain influence and should be able to help. After the call, Xia Yu said to Li Qian: "Xiqian, please stay in the office. If they call and say they have found it, you tell me that I will call back every ten minutes." "Ok!" Li Qian said obediently. "I go first!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took his clothes and walked out quickly, praying in his heart that He Chaoqiong was okay. Although he acted calmly and unhurriedly just now, he didn''t show it well considering Li Qian''s side, in fact, he was very anxious inside. At this moment, Xia Yu discovered that He Chaoqiong had unwittingly left an indelible shadow in his heart. When I came downstairs in the company, looking at the car door opened by Li Wuming early, a flash of light flashed in Xia Yu''s mind. "Is this the reason? Was it seen by Chao Qiong?" Xia Yu thought blankly, the more he thought about it, the more he realized it was possible, and a deep sense of guilt lingered in his mind. "No, I want to get her back quickly, I hope she won''t do stupid things." After thinking about it, Xia Yu felt more anxious, and immediately drove Li Wuming around in the Kowloon area. As time passed, Xia Yu found a large area, but still did not see He Chaoqiong''s shadow. Seeing that the sky gradually darkened, but there was still no news of He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu became even more impatient. "No, looking aimlessly like this is not a solution, I have to calm down!" "Huh...huh..." Xia Yu took two deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. "Where will Chao Qiong go? She is not familiar with Kowloon, leaving her bodyguards aside, she can''t go anywhere..." "Wait, will it be there?" After thinking hard for a while, Xia Yu''s inspiration flashed and thought of a possibility. "Go to the beach at the foot of Victoria Mountain, hurry!" Xia Yu immediately pointed the way, and the car quickly drove towards the designated place. "Sure enough!" When the car came to the coastal road, through the car window, Xia Yu saw from a distance a familiar figure sitting on the rock by the sea. "parking!" After getting off the car, Xia Yu quickly ran towards the shadow, shouting, "Chao Qiong, Chao Qiong..." He Chaoqiong, who was sitting quietly on the rock in a daze, heard the sound of thinking and thinking coming from behind, and turned her head reflexively. When she saw Xia Yu flying over, she couldn''t help standing up, showing happiness. She just wanted to call Xia Yu, but the morning scene reappeared in her mind. The smile on her face suddenly stagnated, but she stood quietly and looked at Xia Yu. "Chao Qiong, what''s wrong with you, why are you crying?" Xia Yu ran up to He Chaoqiong, saw her somewhat red and swollen eyes, his heart suddenly twitched, and asked in a low voice with concern. Hearing Xia Yu''s question, He Chaoqiong''s nose twitched and tears seemed to be streaming down again. She choked and did not answer Xia Yu, but turned and hugged her knees and squatted down, looking at the sparkling sea. At this time, the sun is about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun is pouring on the endless blue sea. It is a poetic scene. If the ancients saw this, they might have a poem in Yaxing. It''s a pity that Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong, who were able to see this scene, didn''t bother to look at it. Seeing He Chaoqiong''s silence and no excessive behavior, Xia Yu was a little relieved, at least don''t worry about her thinking about it. But Xia Yu could feel that He Chaoqiong''s state was wrong, and his inner guilt rose again. Xia Yu did not speak, but gently sat down next to He Chaoqiong, turning his head to look at He Chaoqiong''s pretty profile. Seeing a touch of pink on He Chaoqiong''s fair face, Xia Yu smiled silently and said softly: "Chaoqiong, I''m sorry, I didn''t know you were coming to me, and it made you sad." It''s okay for Xia Yu not to mention it. When it comes to this, He Chaoqiong feels even more wronged in his heart, his eyes moisturized, crystal clear tears swirling in his eyes, He Chaoqiong slightly raised his head and blinked his eyes, wanting not to let his tears flow down. She didn''t want to shed tears for the big villain Xia Yu. It''s just tears, which can''t be controlled if you want to control it. "why?" He Chaoqiong said in a low voice. Xia Yu pursed his lips, with a complex expression on his face, and apologized softly: "Chao Qiong, I''m sorry, I made you sad." Xia Yu''s apology made He Chaoqiong more sad, and a series of tears dripped down. She cried and asked, "What is your relationship with her?" Xia Yu wanted to wipe his tears with his sleeves, but what He Chaoqiong suddenly said caused him to stop, but he immediately reacted and continued to stretch his hand forward, trying to wipe He Chaoqiong''s tears, but he didn''t expect He Chaoqiong to directly. She avoided, looking straight at him with teardrops in her eyes. "I¡­¡­" "Sorry¡­¡­" It was really discovered! Hey! A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. Xia Yu subconsciously did not dare to look at He Chaoqiong, he said apologetically. Although he didn''t say it clearly, Xia Yu''s reaction showed everything. He Chaoqiong suddenly collapsed, tears pouring down like a flood bursting a bank, accompanied by heart-piercing cries. "Woo...suck...oooo..." "Why, I know you first, if you don''t like me, why should you be so good to me, but now you are with others!" "why!" "Is it in your heart that I can''t compare to her at all?" He Chaoqiong cried out loudly, that heartbroken look made Xia Yu very uncomfortable. The beauty is deep, how can he not feel it? However, his own willpower was not firm and he pushed Li Qian hard. As his first woman, how could he push her out cruelly? Now that he gets along, Xia Yu really likes Li Qian, he likes Li Qian''s gentleness and kindness, and loves her simplicity and loveliness. All this has come into his heart in silence. But for He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu also liked it very much, and was ready to make her a girlfriend, but who could have expected an accident later? "Chao Qiong, you are a very good girl, very likable, you are no worse than anyone, I swear this is the truth!" Xia Yu said firmly. Hearing this, He Chaoqiong felt better in her heart, but she still cried and asked: "Then I ask you, do you like me?" Seeing He Chaoqiong''s tearful look of expectation, Xia Yuqiang resisted the thought of dodge, stared at He Chaoqiong, nodded heavily and said: "Yes! And I like it very much!" He Chaoqiong burst into laughter suddenly, and her mood stabilized. She looked at Xia Yu expectantly and begged softly: "Then you leave her, OK?" Xia Yu was immediately embarrassed. Not to mention that he already fell in love with Li Qian, but that he knew Li Qian. If he left Li Qian, Li Qian would definitely lose all confidence in life. Too cruel! "Xia Yu, I beg you, leave her, okay?" Seeing Xia Yu embarrassed, He Chaoqiong pleaded sadly, and his heart sank again. "Chao Qiong, things are very complicated here, don''t you want to do this?" Xia Yu frowned slightly patiently comforted. "You lied to me, you lied to me just now, you liar, big liar, big bastard..." "Give it back to you, I don''t want your things, I give you back..." He Chaoqiong cried and untied the mutton jade pendant on his chest, and wanted to throw it at Xia Yu. Xia Yu realized that it was not good. He Chaoqiong, who was in an emotionally sensitive period, couldn''t calm down at all, but anyway, the source of all the errors was on him. Without thinking about it, Xia Yu hugged He Chaoqiong and said in her ear: "Chaoqiong, I didn''t lie to you, I really like you!" "I don''t listen, I don''t listen, you lied to me, you big liar..." He Chaoqiong struggled vigorously, but Xia Yu hugged very tightly. No matter how hard He Chaoqiong struggled, he couldn''t get rid of it. "Big liar...well..." Chapter 303: Suddenly appearing notebook ?"hiss¡­¡­" Seeing that he couldn''t get away, He Chaoqiong bit on Xia Yu''s shoulder in a hurry. Xia Yu suddenly took a breath, but he did not speak, but let He Chaoqiong vent his breath. In any case, he was sorry for He Chaoqiong and broke her heart. If she wanted to vent her anger, let her vent her anger. It''s better to vent it than suffocating it. Otherwise, if something happens, he will not be able to forgive himself . He Chaoqiong gradually calmed down because of Xia Yu''s silent endurance. She stopped struggling, loosened her mouth and raised her head, and she saw Xia Yu''s gentle eyes. "Tell me this, I didn''t lie to you, I really like you!" Xia Yu said softly with a gentle smile on his pale face. "Puff...Puff..." He Chaoqiong''s pretty face flushed slightly, she showed a shy expression, smelling the male hormone scent from Xia Yu''s body and listening to the heartbeat close at hand. Although he heard the long-awaited truthful words, He Chaoqiong did not forgive Xia Yu as such, because Xia Yu has not answered the most critical question. "Then why don''t you leave her?" He Chaoqiong raised his head and asked softly. "I like her too." "But I like you better!" "I know that I am very carefree, I am not a good person, but my love for you will never be less, I swear!" "Doesn''t your father also have several wives? Doesn''t your family have a good life? If your father can do it, I can do it too!" Xia Yu said immediately, with a firm expression as if he was doing a righteous thing. He also cited the example of He Chaoqiong''s father to try to convince He Chaoqiong more forcefully. He doesn''t care about being shameless. It is impossible for him to give up Li Qian, but he is not willing to give up He Chaoqiong. In this case, he wants both of them! It is normal for a wealthy person to have more women, but many people are raised secretly, and he wants to be aware. To put it nicely, he wants to be upright and honest, and doesn''t want to deceive He Chaoqiong, but to put it ugly is shameless! However, there are quite a few wives among the wealthy and wealthy in Hong Kong. After all, it hasn''t been many years since the Hong Kong government abolished polygamy. This phenomenon still exists! Since everyone else can, why can''t he? The Hong Kong government''s ban can control others, but he does not want to be controlled! "call¡­¡­" Xia Yu looked at the stunned He Chaoqiong sincerely, and he was secretly relieved. In any case, when he said this, he was relaxed and finally said the truth hidden in his heart. Xia Yu was relaxed, but He Chaoqiong was under a lot of pressure. At this time, she was in a mess, hesitating whether to agree to Xia Yu. Although she had thought about it, and because of family factors, she would be more open about other women''s affairs, but when it happened, she still got into entanglement. For a while, the scene suddenly became quiet. "Well¡­¡­" "Chao Qiong!" After a long time, when He Chaoqiong finally figured out and wanted to agree, a voice from a distance came again. The two who hugged together immediately followed their reputation and saw He Youguang running towards them with two bodyguards, and Li Wuming also followed, presumably to protect Xia Yu''s safety, worrying that He Youguang would be disadvantageous to Xia Yu. "Big Brother!" He Chaoqiong shouted in surprise. "Xia Yu, let me go, my brother is here." After He Chaoqiong finished speaking, he broke free of Xia Yu''s embrace. Xia Yu also knew that he was still not good enough, but he regretted that He Youguang came at an untimely time. But even if He Chaoqiong didn''t finish speaking, Xia Yu knew what she thought, which made him feel good. "Chao Qiong, are you okay, are you crying?" He Youguang cared about holding He Chaoqiong''s arms and asked with concern. When he saw He Chaoqiong''s swollen eyes, his brows were straightened, and he was extremely distressed when he was angry. He You looked at Xia Yu with his gaze like a knife. Xia Yu was a little bit sceptical and said, "He Sheng, good afternoon." "Humph!" He Youguang gave a cold snort, did not respond to Xia Yu, and looked at He Chaoqiong again. Xia Yu knew that he was wrong, and if he really was with He Chaoqiong, He Youguang would become his elder brother, so even if He Youguang had a bad attitude, he didn''t take it seriously. "Chao Qiong, we go home, father and they are still worried about you!" He Youguang said as he took He Chaoqiong''s hand and wanted to walk back. Just now, seeing Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong hugged from a distance, he realized that it was broken and he was late! From He Chaoqiong''s bodyguard, he also knew what happened and why He Chaoqiong was so sad. But looking at the way my sister hugged Xia Yu just now, it was obvious that my sister forgave Xia Yu. It''s just that He Youguang is also a man, he knows what men think, so he is worried that his sister was cheated by Xia Yu, and now it is not convenient to ask here, it is better to take her sister back first, this is the best policy. "Xia Yu, I...I''ll go back first." He Chaoqiong was very embarrassed, but she couldn''t refuse her brother''s will, so she could only say with a pouting mouth. "Chao Qiong, next time, I will go to Omen to find you!" Xia Yu looked firmly at He Chaoqiong and said, He Chaoqiong smiled immediately and nodded seriously. "Shall I give it to you?" As Xia Yu said, he wanted to keep up with He Youguang''s footsteps. He didn''t expect He Youguang to drop a word with a cold face: "Can''t bear it." Xia Yu stopped without a wrinkle, and he was also a little angry. In his opinion, He Youguang is He Youguang, and He Chaoqiong is He Chaoqiong. He just apologizes to He Chaoqiong, but not He Youguang. Even though He Youguang is He Chaoqiong''s brother, but he doesn''t give him such a face, it''s a bit too much. "Brother, don''t do this." He Chaoqiong who was being pulled away said in a low voice. "You still have the face to say, you should think about how to explain to your father and mother when you go back." He Youguang said with a bit of hatred for iron and steel. He Chaoqiong heard this, her pretty face shrugged off immediately, pouting "Oh", and she was worried about the big trial he would face after returning home. After He Youguang''s car left, Xia Yu started to leave. "Let''s go back." "Ok!" After a while, Xia Yu''s car drove in the direction of Jiuding Newspaper Company. "Xia Yu, has anyone found it?" Seeing Xia Yu''s return, Li Qian asked with concern. "Found it, now I have gone back." Xia Yu sat down on the stool and smiled at Li Qian. "That''s good." "Drink some water, you must be thirsty." Li Qian said softly, then served Xia Yu a cup of tea, and then came to Xia Yu''s back, wanting to massage Xia Yu to relieve his fatigue. "hiss¡­¡­" When Li Qian''s hand squeezed Xia Yu''s shoulder, it happened to be where He Chaoqiong was biting, and Xia Yu couldn''t help taking a breath. "what happened?" Li Qian found that something was wrong, and she couldn''t help but open Xia Yu''s clothes. Before Xia Yu had time to stop, she saw the blood-red deep tooth mark. There is no need to ask, Li Qian knows who bit it. Her face is a bit ugly, but when she saw Xia Yu''s embarrassed expression, she didn''t say much, but touched it lightly and whispered, "It must be painful. , Quickly apply some medicine and get better, now quickly go to the hospital to see." With that said, he helped Xia Yu pull up his clothes, took Xia Yu''s hand, and wanted him to visit the hospital. Li Qian¡¯s reaction surprised Xia Yu, but he also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling warm. After that, but Li Qian insisted, Xia Yu asked Li Wuming to drive to the Chunqiu Medical Center and asked Li Chunqiu to prepare some topical medicine to apply to the wound. Only after Xia Yu sent Li Qian home. "Cici, I won''t live here tonight. Take care of yourself." At the door of the house, Xia Yu gently embraced Li Qian''s delicate body, and exhorted. "Well, I will, don''t worry." "You go back soon, it''s so late, don''t make uncles and aunts wait in a hurry." Li Qian stroked Xia Yu''s cheek and said thoughtfully, her eyes full of tenderness. "Then I will go first." Watching Xia Yu leave, Li Qian took back her smile, became depressed, and closed the door. ... Unknowingly, it was around nine o''clock in the evening. When Li Qian was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Her first reaction was that Xia Yu was here. Without even thinking about it, she came to the door, and when she was about to open the door, she hesitated and shouted: "Who is it?" "Who the **** is out there?" It''s a pity that no one responded after shouting a few words. Li Qian was a little nervous, turned on the outside light and looked through the cat''s eyes, but did not see anyone outside. After waiting for a while, she still didn''t feel anyone outside. She plucked up the courage to open the door, looked outside through the crack of the door, and found that nobody was there. Just when she was about to close the door, she saw something on the ground. "Hey, it turned out to be a notebook, and it looks so old, who left it here?" Li Qian said that she picked up the notebook, looked outside again, and finally closed the door and locked with full of doubts, and opened the notebook. What Li Qian didn''t notice was that a person hiding in the grass smiled when she saw her picking up the notebook and closing the door. "Is this a diary? The handwriting seems to be written by a woman." Li Qian whispered softly, and began to look at it out of curiosity. "It was sunny on March 5, 1957." "Unknowingly I have been pregnant for nine months. The baby is about to be born. I don''t know if it is a boy or a girl. The baby''s brother Xiaojun is always crying about giving birth to a baby sister. He also said that he will take good care of his sister in the future. My younger sister was a little wronged. I didn''t expect the little guy to be so young, so sensible, just like his father..." ... "It was cloudy on March 27, 1957." "It¡¯s really painful to have a baby, but everything is worth it. It¡¯s a girl. Xiaojun happily jumps around. He finally has a younger sister, but Xiaojun says how ugly her sister is, and there is still a piece of dirty behind his ears. Something, I smiled and told him it was a birthmark..." Seeing this, Li Qian frowned and touched the back of her left ear reflexively. She remembered that she had a birthmark here. "Puff...Puff..." Li Qian suddenly felt a little scared. She immediately ran back to the room, locked the door behind her, and then wanted to drop her notebook, but she couldn''t help but flip down. ... "It was cloudy on April 3, 1957." "My dear husband finally came back. He wasn''t even there when his daughter was born, but he didn''t forget us. He named his daughter Xixi, Ma Xixi, this name is so nice, I like it very much..." ... "In 1957Month, the weather was fine." "Today, our family went to the temple to pray for blessings. On the way back, I saw a sculptor selling jade pendants. I bought a piece of Guanyin Bodhisattva and a piece of Buddha''s jade pendant. I carved a military character on the back of the Guanyin Bodhisattva jade pendant. It is for Xiaojun, to bless Xiaojun''s life safe and grow up happily; the Buddha''s jade pendant is engraved with the word Qian, which is given to Qian Qian, I hope she can grow up healthy and happy..." "what!" Seeing this, Li Qian dropped her notebook in horror, ran to her box, found a box, and took out a piece of cyan jade pendant, which was carved like a Buddha. Turning to the back, a word of''qian'' appeared in front of him. "Xia Yu, where are you, I''m so scared, come back soon..." Li Qian cried and hid under the quilt, hugging the quilt tightly, and shaking violently. As for that notebook, lying quietly on the ground, Li Qian never dared to look at it again. Chapter 304: Brother Ma 0 Army? ? Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to Li Qian''s residence again, but knocked on the door a few times, but Li Qian did not open the door. Xia Yu looked at his watch, frowned slightly, then took out the key to open the door, but found that the door had been locked. "Cici is in the room, why wouldn''t she come to open the door?" Xia Yu was puzzled, slapped the door hard, and at the same time named Li Qian. "Bang bang bang... Cici opened the door..." ... After knocking on the door for a long time, I didn''t see Li Qian opening the door. Xia Yu had a bad feeling in his heart, worried that something happened to her, and even wondered if what happened yesterday made her unbearable. "Boss, I will crawl in and open the door for you!" Li Wuming said suddenly. "Well, trouble you!" Xia Yu said immediately. Then, Li Wuming climbed up the window agilely, and then kicked his legs like a frog. He grabbed the second-floor balcony on the side with both hands, then turned directly into the balcony and disappeared from Xia Yu''s sight. Without letting Xia Yu wait for a long time, the door soon opened, revealing Li Wuming''s figure. Xia Yu nodded at him, without hesitation, rushed directly into the room, did not see Li Qian in the living room, then came to her room, but found that the door was locked. "Bump...Bump..." "Cici, Cici, you open the door, what''s wrong with you?" "Bump..." "Aki..." Just as Xia Yu was anxiously patting the door, there was a sudden unlocking sound, and Li Qian''s figure was revealed. Xia Yu just wanted to speak when he saw Li Qian crying and throwing him into his arms. "Xia Yu, you are finally here, I''m so scared...uuu..." Feeling the trembling body of the person in her arms, Xia Yu was startled and immediately hugged her to comfort her: "It''s okay, it''s okay, I''m here, don''t be afraid..." ... Under Xia Yu''s comfort, Li Qian''s mood finally returned to calm, but Xia Yu was very distressed by the crying red eyes and the appearance of pear flowers with rain. Seeing her emotional stability, Xia Yu asked gently: "Cici, what''s wrong, what happened?" "notebook!" Li Qian grasped Xia Yu''s hand tightly, with an expression of horror on her face, and pointed her finger to the ground. Xia Yu looked in the direction and saw a notebook lying on the ground. This old notebook suddenly appeared in Li Qian''s room, which made Xia Yu frowned. He remembered that there was absolutely no such thing at home. Xia Yu gestured with a glance, and Li Wuming walked over and picked it up, looking straight through it, trying to check if there were any problems, in case something hidden inside would cause Xia Yu to be dangerous. "Cici, where did it come from?" Xia Yu asked softly. "Someone knocked on the door last night. I thought it was you. I didn''t expect to see anyone after opening the door. I saw a notebook on the ground, and I picked it up." Li Qian whispered, with a palpitating expression on her face. "Don''t worry, it''s okay, I''ll look at what''s written in it first." Xia Yu stroked her back, comforting her in a low voice. Then, Xia Yu helped Li Qian to the bed and let her sit down, and then took the notebook to look through it, while Li Wuming went out to guard. With Xia Yu by her side, Li Qian felt full of security, and she became bolder, so she dared to take another peek when she saw the notebook close at hand. Xia Yu watched the contents attentively, frowning as he watched. He knew that there was a birthmark behind Li Qian''s ear, but coincidentally, the little girl written in the diary here also had it, and Li Qian was 21 years old this year, and his age was just right for the time written in the diary. When he saw the piece of Buddha jade pendant with the inscription''Üç'' written in the diary, Xia Yu frowned and looked at Li Qian and asked, "Qianqian, do you have a piece of Buddha jade pendant? Is it still inscribed?" "Yeah, I have. I heard from the dean''s grandma that this was what I was wearing when I was picked up, and because I didn''t know my name, and my grandmother was named Li Qian, she named me Li Qian." Li Qian pursed her lips and nodded and said. She grew up in an orphanage, and her grandma, the dean, also told her about her history, so she knows it so clearly. "How could it be so coincidental? Know it so clearly?" Xia Yu was full of doubts. "Cici, besides the grandma of the dean who adopted you, does anyone else know that you have this jade pendant?" Xia Yu asked solemnly. "let me see¡­¡­" "No, this jade pendant was handed to me before the dean''s grandmother passed away. I was just eighteen years old that year. I never told anyone about this. No one should know about it." After thinking it through, Li Qian shook her head decisively. "Have you finished reading this diary?" "No, I was scared when I saw Yupei last night and didn''t look at it again." Xia Yu nodded silently and continued to read down, unconsciously seeing the last page. The last page turned out to be a photo, and it looks like it''s not long after being washed out, and it''s very new. Of course, the point is not new, but the content of the photo. On the photo is a blue Guanyin Bodhisattva jade pendant with the word''jun'' clearly engraved on it. "This is the jade pendant of Li Qian''s brother Ma Qianjun in the diary!" "Hey, there is another photo below!" Xia Yu just picked up the photo, but found that the thickness was wrong. He twisted his fingers, and suddenly another photo was revealed. He quickly pulled it out. "Who is this? Somewhat familiar..." "Right, it''s him!" I saw the bust of a person in the photo, holding a piece of Guanyin Bodhisattva jade pendant, and the face of this person made Xia Yu feel very familiar. Xia Yu condensed his eyebrows for a moment, and suddenly rang, isn''t this person Li Qian''s neighbor? That dangerous person who was mentioned by Yan Shining and Li Wuming! "His name is Ma Qianjun? Is Li Qian''s brother?" Xia Yu''s pupils shrank and his expression became heavy. "Xia Yu, who is he? Is it... my brother?" Li Qian asked in a daze, staring at the two photos in Xia Yu''s hand. "It''s still not certain. A notebook and photos alone can''t explain the facts. Maybe the diary is forged!" Xia Yu slowly shook his head and said. "But... what if he really is my brother? When I was in college for the past two years, someone secretly stuffed money under my room door. It was written on it. Apart from you, I have never been right. Others have said it." Li Qian said tangledly. Xia Yu frowned, pointing straight to the point and said: "Since he found you two years ago, why didn''t he recognize you at that time? Have to wait until now?" "This¡­¡­" "Yes, why didn''t you recognize me when you found me?" Li Qian suffocated and didn''t know how to answer, Xia Yu''s question kept echoing in her mind, and she began to doubt it. In any case, Xia Yu is now the closest person to her. She has no idea about the sudden appearance of her brother, and she is still at a loss. "And this person is very dangerous. He lived next door to you before. Didn''t you see him when I moved with you? He definitely came for you, but is it your brother? You can''t believe this." "I will send someone to find out who he is. If it is really your brother, then I will never stop you. You can wait a few more days, okay?" Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s back and said comfortingly. Seeing Xia Yu''s concerned gaze, Li Qian felt relieved for no reason. She nodded and said obediently: "Yeah!" "I''ll keep the notebook first. You haven''t had breakfast yet. Change your clothes first. I''ll take you out for breakfast." After that, Li Qian obediently changed her clothes and went out with Xia Yu. Chapter 305: Guangan Bank got it After breakfast, Li Qian followed Xia Yu to the company. Xia Yu checked his watch, and it was time to make an appointment with the Liang family soon, and he had to leave. "Xia Yu, hurry up, I just need to stay in the office, don''t delay business for me." As Xia Yu¡¯s secretary, Li Qian naturally remembers his schedule every day, so Xia Yu still has an offer today, and it involves a major matter such as bank acquisitions. If it is delayed because of her, she will really feel guilty. Yes, so she reminded. "Well, then I''ll go first, and come back to pick you up!" After speaking, Xia Yu set off to Jiuding Securities Company to receive Wang Qi, and then went to the appointed place. "Boss, the one standing at the door is Liang Dingbang." As soon as the car arrived at the door of the hotel, before getting off the car, Wang Qi pointed to a person standing at the door of the hotel and said. Xia Yu looked over in the direction indicated and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes standing at the door, looking around from time to time. "Unexpectedly, he was still waiting at the door." Xia Yu murmured, his impression of Liang Dingbang was much better. Not to mention anything else, this alone will give him a better chance of success than others. "Let''s go over!" After speaking, Xia Yu and others got off the car and walked towards the front entrance of the hotel. Liang Dingbang, who had been looking around, immediately recognized Wang Qi and Xia Yu, and greeted Xia Yu and others with a warm smile. "Hello Liang Sheng, I have been waiting for a long time!" Xia Yu stretched out his hand first and said with a smile. The smile on Liang Dingbang''s face was even greater, and he shook hands with Xia Yu heavily, and said politely: "I have just arrived, but I want to thank Xia Sheng for coming during his busy schedule." "Haha, Liang Sheng is too polite." Xia Yu said with a smile. Liang Dingbang shook hands with Wang Qi briefly, and after nodding to indicate, he smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, or let''s go in first." "please!" After the mutual courtesy, Xia Yu and others followed Liang Dingbang into the hotel and came to a box. After entering the box, Xia Yu found that there was another person inside. Liang Dingbang immediately introduced: "This is my brother Liang Dinghui." "Ahui, this is Xia Sheng and Wang Sheng." "Xia Sheng, Wang Sheng, hello!" "Hello there!" ... After getting to know each other, everyone sat around Zhuo. Fortunately, the table in the private room was not big, and the four people sitting face to face would not look empty. After the waiter poured the tea, Xia Yu took the lead in provoking the topic in order to show his importance. "Liang Sheng, you are already a well-known barrister, why do you have the idea of ??going into politics?" Liang Dingbang smiled slightly and said: "This is my father''s wish, plus I want to do something for the people of Xiangjiang and realize my ambition, so even if it is a small civil servant, I am willing." Although I don¡¯t know if Liang Dingbang is telling the truth, Xia Yu didn¡¯t want to go into it. He showed admiration and said: "Liang Sheng Gaoyi!" "But in my opinion, with Liang Sheng''s legal knowledge, being a small civil servant can be a shame, and at least you can be a judge." Xia Yu praised sincerely. When Xia Yu said this, not only Liang Dingbang, but also Liang Dinghui, who was sitting quietly beside him, smiled. Liang Dingbang waved his hand again and again and said: "Xia Sheng can look up to me. The judge dare not think about it. I only know a little bit about finance and commercial law. I really don''t know much about other aspects. I have limited ability and limited ability." Sitting Wang Qi suddenly interrupted: "Liang Sheng is now humble. There are no outsiders here. There is no need to be so humble. Don''t I know your ability?" "You have the ability, coupled with the help of the nobles, it is definitely a matter of time for Long Teng Jiu Tian, ??not to mention the judge, it is not impossible to become a Hong Kong Governor." "Alas, the Governor of Hong Kong dare not think about it. You can''t talk nonsense. "What''s more, it is said that the nobles help each other, how can nobles meet so easily?" Liang Dingbang hurriedly waved his hand and said, shook his head and sighed, but he looked at Xia Yu. Why meet Xia Yu today? The most important thing is to see Xia Yu''s attitude. If Xia Yu is willing to help him, the height he can reach will definitely jump several levels. As for a Guangan Bank? How much money can be sold? Moreover, the money for selling the bank is not his alone, but the entire Liang family. What is most beneficial to him is also what he needs most. It is not money, but Xia Yu''s support! This is the top priority! After talking about this, Xia Yu also knew that it was time for him to express his opinion. He smiled slightly and spoke. "Haha, Liang Sheng, it happens that I don¡¯t have any friends in politics. Now we are friends. Since you have the ambitions of great ambition, I can help you. As long as it is useful to your career, you can always come to me. I feel fully supported. !" The two brothers Liang Dingbang and Liang Dinghui suddenly smiled as soon as he said this. In order to reassure them, Xia Yu gave a very convincing reason. His underlying meaning was that he had no connections in the political circle, so he would definitely support Liang Dingbang and let them rest assured. Liang Dingbang''s growth is what he needs, so how can there be reasons for not doing his best? "Xia Sheng, I am relieved with your words. I will substitute tea for wine. Thank you for your support!" Liang Dingbang said and solemnly picked up the teacup. "Should support each other!" Xia Yu said in a face-saving manner, which made Liang Dingbang happy. "Let''s come together!" As Xia Yu said, Wang Qi and Liang Dinghui also picked up their teacups, the four of them touched each other and drank them. "Haha!" With tea instead of wine, the cup of tea was exhausted, the partnership was reached at this moment, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly heated up. Liang Dingbang took the initiative to pick up the teapot and added a cup of tea to Xia Yu to express his attitude. Since he needs Xia Yu''s support, his position is higher, and his attitude will naturally be lowered. Xia Yu also showed face and made gestures, which made Liang Dinghui feel very comfortable. For Liang Dingbang, Xia Yu''s support is more important than selling the bank, and it has now been perfectly realized. But for Xia Yu and Wang Qi, buying a bank is more important. Now that Liang Dingbang''s wish has been fulfilled, it is time for him to turn. Without Xia Yu''s reminder, Wang Qi said, "Liang Sheng, let''s talk about Guang''an Bank now. I wonder how you are thinking about it?" The two brothers Liang Dingbang narrowed their smiles and looked at each other. The younger brother Liang Dinghui nodded slightly to his brother, indicating that he had no objection. Why did Liang Dingbang bring his younger brother this time? First, Guangan Bank also has a share of Liang Dinghui, and second, because Liang Dinghui is not at ease, he has to witness it in person to be at ease. Now that the requirements have been met, he naturally has no opinion. Liang Dingbang understood, and the next step was to bargain. "Wang Sheng..." ... Because Liang Dingbang''s wishes have been fulfilled , in the acquisition negotiations of Guang''an Bank, he was also courteous and not too entangled. The whole negotiation process can be said to be more harmonious. After only five minutes, the negotiation ended with a smile. Both parties agreed that Guang''an Bank, with total assets of 200 million yuan, liabilities of 190 million yuan, and net assets of 10 million yuan, was wholly acquired by Xia Yu at a price of 20 million Hong Kong dollars. The price of 20 million Hong Kong dollars is normal, neither high nor low. Don''t look at Guangan Bank''s total assets of 200 million yuan, but that is after all other people''s money under management. Just like later generations of ICBC, with total assets of 20 trillion yuan, but the market value of less than two trillion yuan, it has not reached ten to one. This is still the case when ICBC occupies a special position as the leader and monopoly. Of course, such a ratio is definitely unreasonable, but it can be used to reflect some things. After the negotiation, Wang Qi will be responsible for the next details, and Xia Yu will only be responsible for signing the funds. ~: The second wave of lucky draw to send benefits, the opportunity should not be missed! Come on! We will send out benefits, and the lucky draw will give you authentic Gannan navel oranges! Last time I had a good harvest of navel oranges at home, I urgently wanted to send some navel oranges to everyone. I was not thoughtful. I didn''t consider that many friends didn''t use QQ, so the activity was only held in the QQ group. I am really sorry. So this time, I put the event in the WeChat group. The specific rules are as follows: I will send out lucky red envelopes. Ten people grab each red envelope. The lucky king who grabs the most money will get a box of ten kilograms of Jiangnan navel orange fine fruit, and just send me the delivery address. The format is consignee + mobile phone number + detailed delivery address. In terms of quantity, I thought about it. It¡¯s the end of the year. The most important thing is to make a lot of money to go home during the New Year. So if you take an auspicious figure, you will give you 8 boxes, a total of 80 jin. To be honest, the navel oranges are also about to go off the market. There are not many hanging on the tree. Here is an explanation in advance: due to express delivery reasons, shipments are not shipped in ultra-distant areas, that is, Tibet, Xinjiang, Ning, Qing, Gan, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Diaoyu Island, Xisha and other places do not ship. Whether it can arrive is still one thing. , The important thing is that the courier fee ranges from thirty-four to several hundred, so please understand from friends in these areas, and please Haihan! Also, the weather here is fine these days, but there should be heavy snowfall in the northeast, the moisture in the navel orange is very high, and the temperature over there is too low, it should not be frozen when sent there... right? I dare not pack a ticket. Let''s talk about the time. Tomorrow, that is, Tuesday, at 1 o''clock noon, the draw will be in the WeChat group. There is no way to choose this time. Taking into account the issue of navel oranges going out of the market, the sooner the activity is, the better, but I will have to work overtime tonight, tomorrow night, and the next night. The tasks on Thursday and Friday are more heavier, so I can only choose It''s noon, just start at 1 o''clock noon on Tuesday, everyone, don''t forget. The last is the grouping method, as follows: 1. Search QQ group 623392664, after adding the group, there are my WeChat QR code and WeChat group QR code in the group album, just scan the code to join. 2. Search my WeChat account hls657760312, nickname Lao Huang, add me as a friend, and I will send you the WeChat group link. PS: During this period of time there are too many things, and there is no time to get a mobile phone when I work, so there is less time for chatting, and the reply will not be timely. Please forgive me, old Huang bow! Another: Many friends should know that I am an old watch in Gannan, so 100% of the navel oranges delivered to you are authentic Gannan navel oranges. The price on Taobao or other places is 30, 40 yuan and 10 kg. If it is said that it is Gannan navel orange, 10,000% is fake, because the good fruit on the tree and the second fruit are packaged to others for more than this picking price, and they have to spend their own money to invite people to pick it. , Especially the friends in the southern counties in southern Jiangxi should know the truth. Chapter 306: Dig the corner of HSBC After returning, Xia Yu found that Li Qian was in a daze, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her pretty face stagnated, and she looked worried. He knew that Li Qian was still thinking about it. "It seems that the "chaos" must be cut quickly. This kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later, not to mention that after a while, I will not have enough time." Xia Yu secretly thought, and made a decision in his heart, planning to arrange manpower to investigate Ma Qianjun today, and "find" his background. Of course, Xia Yu did not intend to have any conflict with Ma Qianjun. After all, according to his rational analysis, Ma Qianjun might really be Li Qian¡¯s brother. If it is found to be true, Ma Qianjun will be his elder brother. Embarrassed. Coupled with reminders from Li Wuming and Yan Shining, Xia Yu also knew that Ma Qianjun was definitely not easy. Unless Li Wuming and Yan Shining go personally, he doesn''t believe what other people can do to Ma Qianjun, maybe he will be able to beat the dog with meat buns. So if you can''t avoid conflict, it''s best to avoid conflict! ... In the afternoon of the same day, Guangan Bank¡¯s equity transfer agreement was signed, and Xia Yu also transferred the money to the bank account provided by Liang''s immediately, and the transaction was completed! Next, with the active cooperation of the Liang family, the handover of Guang''an Bank was completed smoothly, and Xia Yu was not in a hurry to replace personnel. After all, he still had to take care of the Liang family''s face. During this handover, Xia Yu didn''t have much fanfare. Now, the less people know, the better. Before the end of the war, one cannot be too cautious. "Xia Sheng, the handover is complete, I should step down too, this is my resignation." Liang Dingbang came to the office with a resignation letter and handed it to Xia Yu. Although he didn''t need to do this, he showed his respect for Xia Yu and liked him a little bit. However, Xia Yu did not accept Liang Dingbang''s resignation, but said with a smile: "Liang Sheng, I would like to ask you a favor. Please be the president for a while. Now I have not found a suitable person to take over." Liang Dingbang was taken aback, hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I will wait for a while and wait until people come and hand over before resigning." "By the way, Liang Sheng, don''t talk about the change of ownership of our Guang''an Bank for the time being. I still need some things. It is not the time yet." Xia Yu exhorted again. Liang Dingbang nodded and agreed. He didn''t ask why. Anyway, Guangan Bank has already sold it to Xia Yu, and the money has arrived. Now I have arranged with Xia Yu. He is now Bo Xia Yu¡¯s favor. Happy but not doing it? On the way back, Xia Yu wondered what kind of person he should "see" to become the general manager of Guangan Bank. If Guangan Bank wants to develop well, it must be reformed, and it will definitely change its name. In a short period of time, with Liang Dingbang in charge, the situation of Guang''an Bank is not going to be bad, and Xia Yu''s energy will also be focused on the battle, so he can temporarily leave it alone. But there must be a set of plans to be implemented, and the reform will be implemented immediately after the end of the war. Only then will Guang''an Bank rise. However, when Xia Yu does not take care of it personally, a good general manager has a great influence on the bank. Therefore, in order for the bank to develop better, it is necessary to find a senior talent for the bank as the general manager. "Is it still through the Korn Ferry International Hunting?" "But it''s unreliable. The bank is definitely the core of my core. Knowing my most secrets. An outsider recruited suddenly will increase a lot of risk." Xia Yu contemplated his eyebrows, and Wang Qi on the side saw Xia Yu''s expression, and he probably guessed what the boss was thinking. He didn''t bother and looked at the scenery outside the window quietly. Although the busy schedule consumed a lot of his energy, and the position of the bank''s general manager did not fall to his head, Wang Qi didn''t care and was still in a good mood. After all, the boss has a bank, and Jiuding Securities has an extra brother. Many troubles can be solved easily. The help to Jiuding Securities is also very great. The gains alone are completely worth his previous efforts. "Wait, he seems very suitable, but I don''t know if he will appreciate the position of the general manager of a small bank..." Suddenly, a figure appeared in Xia Yu''s mind. This person was not someone else, but Xia Yu''s old friend Liu Tianci. A long time ago, Xia Yu had the idea of ??earning Liu Tianci, a top talent under his command, but at that time he was weak, even if he opened his mouth, he would be rejected. In addition, he was unwilling to make others difficult, so that his friends would have nothing to gain. Do, so I didn¡¯t mention it. But now, he already has this strength and confidence, even if he wants to dig Liu Tianci, it will not appear abrupt, Liu Tianci will definitely consider it seriously. With Liu Tianci''s ability, he is absolutely qualified for the position of general manager of the bank, which Xia Yu is absolutely certain. Although Liu Tianci is now in charge of the business of HSBC Securities, don¡¯t forget that Liu Tianci graduated with a master¡¯s degree in finance and business administration from Columbia University. Securities and banks are very similar. So let him manage a bank. able to handle. What we have to worry about now is whether he wants to come! After all, Guang''an Bank is a small bank with total assets of only 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it becomes the general manager, there are only so many assets under management. But Liu Tianci is now the head of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities. The assets he manages are several times that of Guangan Bank, and he has more staff than Guangan Bank. He is also recognized within HSBC. As long as he keeps on, his future can be described as a bright future. Bright, this is a very smooth road. But now is the present, and the future is the future. It is easy for Guangan Bank to surpass HSBC Securities. On this point, Xia Yu is very confident. And as long as Xia Yu''s money is transferred in, it can be realized, but this is impossible to tell! So whether Liu Tianci can be dug up depends on his degree of recognition and confidence in Xia Yu. If he thinks that there will be a better future with Xia Yu, it is not impossible for him to leave his current job and jump. "Think hard about what to do tonight I''ll look for him tomorrow, and it will be up to him to choose." Xia Yu thought about it, let out a long breath, shook his head slightly and didn''t think too much. ... In a blink of an eye, the next day, Xia Yu took some gifts to Liu Tianci''s home. Yesterday Xia Yu called Liu Tianci in advance, saying that he would come to visit him, so Liu Tianci was already prepared, only waiting for Xia Yu''s arrival. "Ding Dong!" "Xia Sheng, you are here, what other gifts are you buying? It''s so polite, please come in." After Liu Tianci opened the door, he accepted the gift from Xia Yu with a smile on his face, and welcomed Xia Yu and others in. After eating a meal happily, Xia Yu explained his intentions after the meal, and there is no need to mention how to talk. Anyway, after Xia Yu left, Liu Tianci immediately reduced his smile, his expression became very solemn, his eyes tranced. What are you thinking. Chapter 307: Liu Tiancis choice ? "My dear, what''s the matter?" Liu Tianci''s wife Wang Wanrong hugged him from behind and asked softly. "Come, sit down and I''ll talk to you slowly." Liu Tianci took his wife by the hand and sat on the sofa. He told his wife Xia Yu''s intentions, and then introduced her to Guang''an Bank. After all, it involves a major job-hopping event, which will have a great impact on the family, and it is naturally impossible for him to hide his wife. Wang Wanrong frowned and said with a bit of complaint: "According to you, Guangan Bank is far from the company you are managing now. Even if Xia Yu is a good friend of yours, you should not make such embarrassing requests. Right? Isn''t this difficult for a strong man?" Liu Tianci pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You can''t say that. Although Guang''an Bank is weak, after being acquired by Xia Yu, it can no longer be treated with old eyes." "Although my current position is good, I can''t get it in a short time. Moreover, I am a Chinese again. HSBC is a British bank. Without major changes, my rising ceiling is doomed. Even if I have a position, There are still some people within HSBC who are not worse than me. It is difficult to get my turn." Wang Wanrong is also a very smart person. He naturally understands the difficulty of climbing up the Chinese in British enterprises. Even if he has confidence in his husband, he will not blindly ignore these invisible restrictions. But can Guangan Bank be able to compete with HSBC''s Kowloon branch within a few years? Unable to figure it out, Wang Wanrong asked Liu Tianci. She had to ask clearly before she could express her opinion. "Let me tell you about Xia Yu''s true strength." Seeing his wife caring so much, Liu Tianci felt warm. He held his wife in his arms and said softly. Wang Wanrong lightly touched her head, leaning on Liu Tianci''s shoulder, and looking up at her husband. "Just now Xia Yu told me an unannounced secret, that is, Li''s TV station has been wholly acquired by him." "So now, counting Xia Yu''s name, there are seven companies, namely Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Jiuding Animation Company, Lai TV Station, and the now-acquired Guangan Bank." "The most prominent ones are the first three." "Jiuding Newspaper Company has achieved the No. 1 position in the media industry. According to the current trend, the position of Asia''s largest media company should be won by it." "Jiuding Securities, according to my guess, now the total assets are definitely not only revealed so little, at least 7.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, not far from the company I manage. Yesterday I heard that Jiuding Securities will hold a fundraiser again. In less than a week, the fundraising amount will definitely not be small. Maybe after the fundraising, the total assets will exceed the securities company I manage." "Jiuding News Agency, you should have heard of this. Now the largest news agency in Hong Kong has amazing development potential." "Jiuding Book Publishing Company, according to current trends, is likely to be a giant in the publishing industry, mainly because Xia Yu''s resource advantage is too great, and other peers can''t compete with it." "Jiuding Animation Company, now the leader in the comics industry, although the market for the comics industry is relatively small, I have analyzed and learned about the island country¡¯s comic market. According to the current growth trend, Jiuding Animation¡¯s potential is also amazing." "Li''s TV station, you don''t need to say anything about this, you know what it means." "The last is the newly acquired Guang''an Bank, a small bank with assets of 200 million yuan. It should be said that it is not bad." "Listen to me, did you think of anything?" After Liu Tianci finished speaking, he looked at his wife quietly, and said instead. "According to what you said, his seven companies seem to be very closely linked, and each company seems to be able to share resources for development." Wang Wanrong frowned, thought for a while, and said uncertainly. After speaking, she looked at her husband with doubts, wanting to know if what she said was right. "Yes, because they are all related companies, in fact, he has almost completed the closed loop." Liu Tianci nodded and said, and gave his wife an encouraging look. "His business is obviously divided into media and finance." "The media industry can be divided into books, newspapers, magazines, movies, radio and television. Among them, radio has declined and the market is relatively small; the entertainment attributes of movies are too strong." "Now, in addition to broadcasting and film, Xia Yu has representative companies, and the position is very stable. Now his media industry has completed the closed loop, the media kingdom can be said to have been built, and the four companies can share resources. With complementary advantages, the ability to resist risks and competitiveness is very strong. It is already very difficult for others to knock him down." "In the financial industry, divided by size, they are banking, insurance, securities, trust and futures." "And Xia Yu already owns banks and securities companies, and futures and trusts are also easy to get involved. Jiuding Securities already has a license and can directly establish departments or subsidiaries, so only one insurance industry can complete the closed loop." "But based on my understanding of Xia Yu''s character and abilities, he covets these five industries. At that time, there will be representative companies in each sub-industry. Under resource sharing, a monopolistic financial giant will emerge." "By then, he will be in full swing, with media on the left and finance on the right. In this small place like Xiangjiang, Xia Yu can call the wind and the rain, and it is very possible to be on par with our current chairman Shen Bi." "The funds of other companies will be remitted to Guang''an Bank. So many leading companies in large and small industries raise a bank, and then drive the supply chain of upstream and downstream enterprises. Under such circumstances, the development of Guang''an Bank into a large bank is almost certain." "And you also know the particularity of the bank, it will definitely be the core of Xia Yu''s business map, and its status will be half higher than that of other companies. The general manager of the bank can even be under Xia Yu alone! " "Do you understand now?" After Liu Tianci finished speaking, he looked at his wife with emotion. Because of the importance of Xia Yu, Liu Tianci has been paying attention to Xia Yu. He is particularly interested in many of Xia Yu''s actions and wants to learn something from it. It is also under this situation that he will understand the market scale of the island country''s comics industry and the book publishing industry and other industries that are not related to finance. And it is precisely because of his deep concern for Xia Yu that he has a deeper understanding of Xia Yu than ordinary people. He can say with certainty that among the merchants in Xiangjiang, there should be few people who know Xia Yu better than him. ! Although he had analyzed Xia Yu''s situation several times before, he still felt shocked by analyzing Xia Yu''s situation from beginning to end. He was shocked by Xia Yu''s skill and ability. He can now say with certainty that Xia Yu had a gulf in his chest from the very beginning, and the current situation will emerge. This kind of overall situation, this kind of ability and wisdom, he is far behind! Not to mention Liu Tianci, even his wife Wang Wanrong looked incredible after listening, she muttered shockedly: "Unexpectedly, he has done such a big business! It''s amazing!" "Rong Er, there is one more thing you should not forget. Before this year, he was just an ordinary fisherman. It took him only seven months to build such a huge foundation, and he has never failed. It seems that everything is done well, this is the most terrifying!" There is the sun and the moon in my heart, and the universe under my feet! Talking about people like Xia Yu! Liu Tianci looked at his wife solemnly and said. "Yeah, he is still so young!" Wang Wanrong was a joke, only to realize that this was the most terrifying point. "Why is there such a genius in the world? Isn''t he the God of Wealth who went down to earth?" Wang Wanrong murmured in shock, the more she thought about it, the more she felt incredible. "Xia Yu is indeed a genius, I know, he has been a famous child prodigy since he was a child." "In ancient times, Gan Luo was eleven years old and worshiped the Lord. Now it is not impossible to have a Xia Yu!" "If God of Wealth really descended to Xiangjiang, then it is definitely him!" Liu Tianci said affirmatively. "Huh...huh..." The scene suddenly became quiet, and both of them thought complicatedly. After a long time, Wang Wanrong managed to get through the peace: "My dear, are you planning to agree to his invitation?" Liu Tianci pondered for a while, as if he was adding confidence to himself or convincing his wife even more. He said, "If I stay at HSBC, I can see the future in my current state." "But Xia Yu has unlimited potential, and now the overall strength is very strong. If I join his subordinates, I don''t know what the future will look like. I may fail, but there is also a great possibility to go further." "I''m only 29 years old now, and I''m still very young, so I want to take advantage of my youth, I can definitely see the difference before I am 35 years old, if it succeeds ~ www.novelhall.com ~ then continue to do it, if it fails , I don¡¯t worry about not being able to support our family." After Liu Tianci finished speaking, he looked straight at his wife. Wang Wanrong smiled, and tightly grasped Liu Tianci''s hand, feeling that her husband''s calm heart for many years became restless. When he knew Liu Tianci, he knew that he was a very aggressive person, but after marrying her, Liu Tianci changed and became more stable, or that he thought more about doing things. This is not true. Not good, but Wang Wanrong knew her husband very well. He did this for the family and to give her a sense of security. But she doesn''t want to be a drag on her husband, she likes to see him working hard and enterprising, like to see him full of passion for the future! She smiled gently and said with love in her eyes: "Since you have decided, then let it go. No matter success or failure, I will always be by your side." Liu Tianci was moved in his heart. He hugged his wife tightly and said with emotion: "How can I get a wife?" ... Chapter 308: Ma 0 Jun blocked the door ? "Beep...beep..." "Patter!" Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Xia Yu frowned and completely lost patience, and hung up the phone. "This is the fourth time I can''t get through in the past two days. Chao Qiong said before that it was the phone in her room. Now it seems that there is only one situation where the phone was confiscated by her parents!" Xia Yu sighed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. "Does the gambler want to beat the mandarin duck? Or is there any way waiting for me?" Xia Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and his thoughts suddenly changed to pick up He Hongshen''s thoughts. The only person in the He family who can call the shots is the King of Gamblers. Even He Chaoqiong''s brother He Youguang or her mother can''t do it. So now that this situation occurs, the King of Gamblers can only intervene! He Chaoqiong had been running to Kowloon before, always talking on the phone with him or his sister Xia Xiaomei. He didn''t believe that He Hongshen and others didn''t know, nor that they couldn''t see He Chaoqiong''s thoughts. But since it didn''t stop it before, it means tacitly accepting or supporting Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong''s relationship. But it is not what he wants to do now. Although the source is in him, he can''t be blamed entirely on him. Who told He Chaoqiong to not confirm the relationship between boy and girl friends with him before? Of course, He Chaoqiong can''t be blamed for this, but for this fickle fate! Fortunately, Xia Yu had made everything clear when he was at the beach before. If He Youguang hadn''t suddenly appeared, He Chaoqiong would have agreed to him. This was enough for Xia Yu to make up his mind! The beauty was deliberately able to make such a determination, which shows that He Chaoqiong loves him and loves him more deeply than imagined! Now that he has reached this level, it happens that he also likes He Chaoqiong very much, so he will not let down the beauty of her heart. The He family is the He family, and He Chaoqiong is He Chaoqiong. As long as He Chaoqiong agrees, even if the He family wants to block, he will not give up! This is a man''s promise! He Chaoqiong has lost the dignity of a woman. If he doesn''t express his attitude, he will be too much of a man! "Don''t you He Hongshen just want me to go to Omen? I want to see what conditions you have waiting for me!" "If you want to pinch me, hum!" There was a sneer at the corner of Xia Yu¡¯s mouth. He could also guess one or two of He Hongshen¡¯s attitude. With his understanding of He Hongshen, he knew very well the virtues of such a big family head, and the idea that everything should be based on interests. It''s definitely deep into the bones. Therefore, He Hongshen was obstructed because he loved his daughter so much, Xia Yu absolutely did not believe it! But he is not a submissive little cat. If He Hongshen thought he could handle him at a young age, he would be wrong! "But before I go to Omen, I still have to solve Cici''s matter first, and I feel uneasy!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself. When he goes to Omen, He Hongshen should not do anything to him. There will be no danger, unless He Hongshen dares to risk the world. But Xia Yu is not the kind of imprudent person. He can''t put his hopes on others, so he will definitely strengthen security at that time. If nothing else, Li Wuming and Yan Shining must definitely bring them. of! But Li Qian must not follow the past, otherwise He will definitely be regarded as a provocation. So Li Qian must stay in Kowloon. But the brother who suddenly appeared now made things full of uncertainty. When he is not with Li Qian, there is a high possibility that something will go wrong. So he must resolve this unstable factor before he can go to Omen with peace of mind. He must first settle in the foreigner, and only when the emotional matters are handled properly, can he concentrate on calculating the Jardine Foundation. ... "Boom!" "Come in!" "Boss, someone came outside and said that he was Ma Qianjun and that you would definitely meet him. What do you think should be done?" The employees who came in reported to Xia Yuhui. Xia Yu frowned and was surprised. He didn''t know what it meant by Ma Qianjun''s sudden appearance. "I see, you go out first!" "Yes!" Li Qian in the office also heard this. She became overwhelmed and looked at Xia Yu subconsciously, hoping that he would make a decision. "Boss, I''ll go out and inquire about it first." Li Wuming who was guarding the door suddenly came in and said to Xia Yu. "No, let''s go together!" Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said, then stood up and said to Li Qian: "Cissy, come with you too. I guess he won''t leave without seeing you." "Ok!" Li Qian tapped her head lightly and responded with a complicated mood. Immediately, Xia Yu took Li Qian and Li Wuming towards the outside. After arriving at the door, he suddenly found a person standing straight in front of the company''s gate. It was Ma Qianjun, who had a relationship with Xia Yu. After Ma Qianjun appeared in Li Qian''s figure, his eyes were on Li Qian''s body, his eyes were full of affection, but when he saw Li Qian''s complexion pulling Xia Yu''s sleeves and looking a little at a loss, Ma Qianjun felt very uneasy. . Then, Ma Qianjun looked away from Li Qian and put his eyes on Xia Yu and Li Wuming, his eyes became cold. Seeing Li Wuming watching him vigilantly and looking at the surrounding situation from time to time, Ma Qianjun spread his hands and said indifferently: "Don''t look at it, I''m the only one here, I''ll be fine!" Xia Yu smiled faintly, patted Li Wuming''s arm, and then said: "We met again, why didn''t we come before, but now we show up and run over?" "You send someone to check me, I will save you trouble, there is no need to waste time, I find my sister, it is not a shameful thing." "But you don''t have to worry, your people are fine, and I don''t know much about them." Ma Qianjun said slowly, and after speaking, he showed a Hexi smile to Li Qian. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, and he secretly said that Ma Qianjun was not a simple person, but he sent Hou Sheng, who was a scout, and others to investigate I didn''t expect to be easily discovered by Ma Qianjun. But it¡¯s okay. Ma Qianjun took the initiative to show up, which also saved him precious time. If Ma Qianjun can really prove that he is Li Qian¡¯s brother, it would be a good thing. If he found Li Qian¡¯s relatives, he would not waste manpower and material resources to toss. Guard against Ma Qianjun. "Hehe, standing at the gate is not the same thing. Let''s find a place to talk." "Should I go upstairs to my office? Or find a place outside?" Xia Yu asked with a chuckle. "Don''t be so troublesome, just go to your office!" Ma Qianjun looked frank and open, once again showing that he was really not malicious. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he nodded and made a please gesture and said, "Please!" After speaking, he took Li Qian to lead the way, and Li Wuming accompanied Ma Qianjun on the way. Although many employees were curious about who this was, they didn''t dare to talk about it and only dared to glance at it secretly. Chapter 309: irrefutable evidence After arriving at the office, Ma Qianjun was not polite and managed to face Xia Yu and Li Qian, while Li Wuming managed to face it, his eyes narrowed, and he was ready at any time. "Cici, pour a cup of tea!" "Ok!" Li Qian nodded obediently, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xia Yu and Ma Qianjun. Ma Qianjun took the tea cup and smiled from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to say thank you, but felt inappropriate, so he could only smile and nod to Li Qian. This is the first time that Ma Qianjun drank the tea made by his sister who was thinking about it day and night, so despite the astringent taste of the tea, he drank the sweet taste of heart. After drinking, Ma Qianjun put down the tea cup, Li Qian saw it and filled him up again, Ma Qianjun''s eyes were completely on Li Qian''s body, seeing Li Qian very uncomfortable. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu frowned slightly. Although Ma Qianjun was probably Li Qian''s brother, Xia Yu still felt uncomfortable when he looked at Li Qian so unscrupulously. "Mr. Ma, it''s you who knocked on the door and put the notebook at night, don''t talk about what scared Cici, Cici is here now, you said Cici is your sister, what proof do you have?" "A diary is not enough. With your ability, it is not difficult to fake it!" Xia Yu looked at Ma Qianjun calmly, and said calmly. As soon as Xia Yu spoke, Li Qian cheered up and looked at Ma Qianjun intently, wanting to see how he answered Xia Yu''s question. She has become accustomed to a person, and she is also used to being an orphan, but this does not mean that she does not want to have her own relatives. She thinks about it day and night, and dreams that she wants to find her relatives! Although the brother who appeared suddenly made her very frightened and at a loss, there was no strong hope in her heart. The time has come for the truth to come to light. Is Ma Qianjun her brother? Li Qian waited quietly and nervously. "Of course I have evidence, otherwise I would not be so sure that Cici is my sister!" "I have another photo!" Ma Qianjun said slowly, glanced at Xia Yu, then smiled at Li Qian, then he took out a yellowed photo from the inner pocket of his jacket, and the eyes of Xia Yu and Li Qian were immediately attracted. Even Li Qian''s heart touched her throat. Ma Qianjun looked at the photo with blurred eyes, then returned to his senses, and placed the photo on the table in front of Xia Yu and the others, and said: "This is the only group photo of our family of four. You will understand after reading it. " Xia Yu didn''t speak, picked up the photo, and watched it with Li Qian. When seeing the person in the photo, Xia Yu clearly felt Li Qian''s body shake, and then saw Li Qian covering her mouth with an expression of disbelief. Xia Yu could understand Li Qian''s feelings because he was also shocked. The picture shows two adults and two children. A five or six-year-old boy stood beside the adult man, and the adult woman held a child who was still less than one year old in her arms. The point is that the five or six-year-old boy is like a reduced version of Ma Qianjun in front of him. Obviously, the boy was when Ma Qianjun was a child. As for the two adults, it is the most surprising. The adult man and Ma Qianjun have eight levels of similarity. As for the adult woman, Xia Yu almost thought it was Li Qian when she saw it. It is too similar, just like Li Qian''s copy same! There is no doubt that these two couples should be Li Qian''s parents! "Are these my parents?" Li Qian''s eyes were red, looking at the photo, her eyes were filled with crystal clear tears. "Xia Yu, these are my parents..." Li Qian murmured in tears. Seeing Li Qian crying so sad, Ma Qianjun looked complicated, looked at Li Qian distressedly and expectantly, raised his hand to comfort Li Qian, thought about it and took it back. "Cici, come, wipe your tears." Xia Yu picked up the tissue and wiped Li Qian''s tears gently. He can understand Li Qian''s mood at this time. She may not have the memory of her parents at all. Now that she suddenly sees the photos of her parents, how can she not be moved? In fact, when this photo appeared, Xia Yu could be 100% sure that Ma Qianjun was Li Qian''s brother. This is not the age of the Internet in which evil sorceries are rampant in later generations. This yellowed old photo is absolutely genuine! "Dad...what are the names of mom and dad?" Li Qian looked at Ma Qianjun and asked with tears. "Dad''s name is Ma Junshen, gentleman''s gentleman, Cautious Shen, mother''s name is Su Yun." Ma Qianjun replied softly. "Ma Junshen... Su Yun... So their names are like this..." Li Qian tapped Zhenshou lightly and muttered to herself, her eyes continued to look at the photo in her hand, and her jade hand gently stroked, as if she could touch a real person. Xia Yu could feel the sadness and powerlessness that could not be achieved. "Where are Mom and Dad? Why don''t they come to me?" Although there was already speculation in her heart, Li Qian still had a glimmer of hope in her heart and looked at Ma Qianjun with hopeful eyes. Ma Qianjun''s complexion was complex, his teeth clenched, and he said: "They have been dead for 20 years. I found this picture five years ago." As soon as he said this, Li Qian burst into tears again, and Xia Yu quickly stroked her back to comfort her. He was also very emotional. He did not expect that Li Qian''s parents had passed away. It was the first time I learned the news of my parents, but I learned that their parents had passed away 20 years ago. Even a determined person can''t bear this kind of great joy and compassion, let alone Li Qian, a weak woman? "My mom and dad are gone, then why are you only looking for me now? You started stuffing money in my windows and under the door two years ago. You found me then, why didn''t you come to recognize me?" Li Qian asked crying. She finally figured out something. Since two years ago, she always found money in the window of the room or on the ground after the door was opened. She also figured out a way, but she couldn''t find who put it. Now when she thinks about it, it should be her brother. Ma Qianjun. But since I found her two years ago, why not come to meet her? Upon hearing this, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Qianjun. Hearing his sister''s complaint, Ma Qianjun felt very uncomfortable. He didn''t want to say because Xia Yu was here, but he didn''t want to disappoint his sister. So he hesitated for a while and said, "I was in a very dangerous situation. Knowing that you are my sister, your life will be in danger, and I don¡¯t want you to be harmed." "You mean there is no danger now?" Xia Yu looked at Ma Qianjun sharply and asked that he had to pay attention to the danger involved. "No, the enemies who have seen me are no longer in the world, otherwise I would not dare to come to my sister." "Ma Qianjun said with certainty. "What did you do before?" Xia Yu asked inquisitively. Ma Qianjun frowned, and did not answer, but said: "It is over, I just want to live a peaceful life now." Xia Yu glanced at Ma Qianjun deeply, and said meaningfully: "As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you can''t help but live a peaceful life as you want. Don''t let Cici also be in danger!" "You don''t have to test me again, if it''s time to say something, I will naturally tell you!" Ma Qianjun frowned and stared at Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded slightly, knowing Ma Qianjun''s determination, so he didn''t ask more. Looking at Li Qian again, she found her emotions stabilized. Ma Qianjun squirmed his lips and said expectantly: "Cici, do you believe that I am your brother now?" Li Qian looked at Xia Yu, looked at Ma Qianjun again, nodded fiercely, hesitated a few times, and summoned the courage to shout, "Brother..." "Haha... I finally met my sister..." The long-awaited moment has finally arrived Ma Qianjun¡¯s eyes are a bit sore, but he is happy, he laughs, and everyone can feel the joy from the heart. "Mom and dad, I finally found my sister, so rest assured! I will definitely take care of her!" ... After the siblings recognized each other, Li Qian hesitated for a while and sat back with Xia Yu. After all, although Ma Qianjun is her brother, she still trusts Xia Yu more. Li Qian''s choice made Ma Qianjun feel uncomfortable, but he could understand it. It''s just that Ma Qianjun is troublesome now. His sister Li Qian made it clear that it was Xia Yu''s woman. It was impossible for him to take Li Qian away, but he didn''t know what to do. Ma Qianjun realized that some things were in a hurry, so he could only take one step at a time. But fortunately, I successfully recognized my sister today, which is a huge wish, and the reward is not small! Chapter 310: Inviting He Youguang After that, Ma Qianjun declined Xia Yu''s request to help him settle. In Li Qian''s somewhat dissatisfied gaze, Ma Qianjun left the Jiuding Newspaper Company building. This time, Ma Qianjun had basically done what he wanted, but he and Li Qian were not yet familiar with him after all, and there was Xia Yu in between, so he could only come slowly. When only Li Wuming was around, Xia Yu asked Li Wuming: "Who do you think Ma Qianjun is?" Without any hesitation, Li Wuming blurted out: "Killer!" To Li Wuming''s affirmative answer, Xia Yu looked at him in surprise and asked, "So sure?" "Well, I can''t be wrong, I have encountered many similar temperaments, but Ma Qianjun is the strongest one so far." Li Wuming nodded and said, explaining the reason for the judgment. Xia Yu nodded slightly and no longer said much. In fact, the identity of the killer was also within his guess. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, twisted his fingers lightly, and quickly calculated in his heart. For a long time, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and murmured: "Killer? Hehe..." Hearing Xia Yu''s meaningful laughter, Li Wuming twitched his mouth slightly, realizing that the boss Xia Yu was calculating people again, and that the unlucky person who was calculated was not someone else, but Ma Qianjun. But this has nothing to do with him, and he doesn''t bother to deal with it. With this time and mind, it is better to ponder how to improve his strength! ... "Are you bothered, don''t follow me when you say!" He Chaoqiong was very upset looking at the four indifferent bodyguards who followed Yibu Yishi. "Humph!" Seeing the four new bodyguards still expressionless, as if they did not hear her, He Chaoqiong felt a punch in the air, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. Although she knew that this was arranged by her father and was worried that she would throw off the bodyguard like last time, it was another matter to understand and be dissatisfied. After saying goodbye to his classmates, He Chaoqiong got in the car and went home directly. "Good girl, are you back?" After returning home, seeing her parents in the living room, her mother asked her kindly, she nodded, and then went back to her room. Seeing He Chaoqiong''s performance, He Hongshen frowned and wanted to educate her, but Lan Qiongying, who was distressed by her daughter, found out in advance, she stroked He Hongshen''s hand. He Hongshen looked at Lan Qiongying and said reproachfully, "If you protect her like this, she will fly to the sky sooner or later!" "No, my daughter is already very sensible, but she is in a bad mood now, she will understand our good intentions in a few days, don''t be angry." Lan Qiongying said like a drizzle. "You..." He Hongshen shook his head slightly and said no more. Not long after, Lan Qiongying knocked on He Chaoqiong''s door a few times. "Who is it?" "It''s me, Mommy!" "Mummy, come in, the door is unlocked!" After Lan Qiongying entered, he saw He Chaoqiong sitting at the table in a daze, with the suet jade Maitreya Buddha pendant on his palm, Lan Qiongying couldn''t help sighing. She knows that her daughter¡¯s personality is a kind of more outgoing personality, and she does things more generously, but she didn¡¯t expect her daughter to grow up and finally changed. She became a little bit ignorant of her, and all this was caused by a boy. . "Daughter, you are still young and still in school. Don''t focus on your feelings. You are just curious about him now. After a long time, you will find that you don''t like him." Lan Qiongying sat next to He Chaoqiong and said softly and enlighteningly. "No, Mommy, I really like him." He Chaoqiong disagreed, and immediately pouted in defense. Since childhood, He Chaoqiong will tell her mother what he has in mind, and Lan Qiongying listens carefully and enlightens her every time, and never loses her temper at her, so He Chaoqiong has become accustomed to not hiding her thoughts in front of her mother. Lan Qiongying smiled. She understands a woman''s behavior when she is caught in the web of feelings, so she also understands her daughter''s reaction. She stroked He Chaoqiong''s hair and said earnestly: "Chaoqiong, mother doesn''t object to someone you like, but you can''t like a bad man, a man who doesn''t like you, do you understand? Otherwise, in the days to come You will be very unhappy, and Mommy doesn''t want you to have a bad life." "But Mommy, don''t you have a great time too?" He Chaoqiong raised his head and asked. Lan Qiongying was speechless for a while, smiled bitterly and shook her head without speaking. How could she not be unhappy? It''s just that she never shows it in front of her daughter, and she doesn''t want her daughter to know that He Hongshen sometimes treats her badly, so as not to affect the father-daughter relationship and destroy the harmony of the family. At that time, both of them will suffer. "Daughter, if he really likes you, he will definitely come to Omen to look for you. You are a girl who always runs to Kowloon and will only make him look down on you. Do you understand?" "After two days, he still doesn''t come to you. It can be seen that he doesn''t like you very much." Lan Qiongying persuaded again. "No, he must be back, he is very busy, but there is no time now. As long as he has time, he will definitely come right away, yes, he will..." He Chaoqiong panicked and immediately explained forcibly, looking for a reason to excuse Xia Yu, and also seeking support for himself. Although she said that, Lan Qiongying''s words still came into her mind, and He Chaoqiong began to panic. Upon seeing this, Lan Qiongying smiled inwardly and stopped talking, but gently hugged her daughter and stroked her hair. He Chaoqiong hugged his mother Lan Qiongying tightly, but said nothing. At this moment, a passenger ship docked at the pier of Omen, and the crowd was crowded. Among them, several people were more conspicuous, because the crowd was subconsciously away from these people. These people are not others, but Xia Yu, Li Wuming and Yan Shining. "Boss, the car is there!" After disembarking, Yan Shining pointed in a direction and said, Xia Yu looked over and just saw a brand new Mercedes-Benz parked, and a person in front of the car was waving at them. "Let''s go over!" After speaking, Xia Yu walked over with the two of them and took the car from that person. This car was bought by Xia Yu. It is impossible to say that Omen asked him to call He Hongshen''s house, right? That''s too much to lose him? "Boss, where are we going now?" Yan Shining asked in the driver''s seat. "Go directly to find a tea shop near He''s house, and send a greeting to He''s house." Xia Yu said directly that this was what he had thought about long ago and wanted to find He Chaoqiong, but he would not rush to the He family to find He Hongshen. This would only fall into passivity, and it would also appear that he had no education and did not understand the rules. Other people''s homes prevented him from contacting He Chaoqiong. If he went directly to He''s home to recruit people, what would it be like? There will be a sense of inquisition ~ www.novelhall.com~ which is more difficult to end. So how to achieve one''s own goals without losing one''s own share and not embarrassing the He Jia requires technology. Soon, the car stopped at a teahouse near He''s house. After entering the teahouse, Xia Yu took out a pen, wrote down the location, and handed it to Yan Shining and said, "Brother Yan, please run away. Let¡¯s go to He¡¯s house, saying that Xia Yu invited He Youguang, the eldest son of the He family, to get together." "Ok!" With that said, Yan Shining took the post from Xia Yu and quickly removed the private room. A breakthrough from He Youguang, as a bridge, is Xia Yu''s method. If in terms of strength and social identity, Xia Yu is above He Youguang, if in terms of relationship, he and He Youguang are also friends, and in the end He Youguang is He Chaoqiong''s elder brother, these levels of identity add up, Xia Yu is better. And there is another advantage that He Hongshen would definitely know what he was talking to, but he didn''t directly meet with King He Hongshen, so there was a lot of room for maneuver. Chapter 311: reality ? In the living room of the He family, a servant walked in and reported to He Hongshenhui: "Master, a person outside who claims to be under Xia Yu sent a post saying that he was inviting the eldest son to talk about something." "invite me?" He Youguang, who was on the side, was stunned, then looked at his father, He Hongshen, then took the post and sent the servant away. "What''s written on it?" He Hongshen, who was reading the newspaper, put down the newspaper and asked in a deep voice. "I didn''t write anything, that is to say, waiting for me in the tea house now, now invite me over." He Youguang said truthfully, and presented the post in his hand to He Hongshen. He Hongshen didn''t answer, glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and continued to look down at the newspaper. After a few seconds, He Hongshen said without raising his head: "He invites you, you go." "If he wants to find your sister, you tell him this last..." "Father, I understand! Then I will go!" "Ok!" Then, He Youguang went out and went to the teahouse where Xia Yu was located, which happened to be very familiar to him. "Youguang, you are here, please sit down!" Seeing He Youguang''s figure appearing at the door, Xia Yu stood up with a smile and made a please gesture. He You nodded expressionlessly, with a very cold attitude, and went straight to the opposite of Xia Yu, staring straight at him, knowingly asked, "What can Xia Sheng do with me?" He Youguang didn''t have Xia Yu''s name anymore, but called him Xia Sheng seriously. This attitude made Xia Yu startled, then he smiled and sat down by himself. Although He Youguang''s attitude is very bad, Xia Yu doesn''t care. If a man treats his sister like this, he can guarantee that the attitude is definitely worse than He Youguang. He Youguang will still come to see him now, and his attitude is considered calm, which is a manifestation of his cultivation and confidence! "Youguang, you can guess the purpose of my request, so I just said it straight, can you let Chaoqiong come out?" Xia Yu went straight to the subject, looking at him with scorching eyes. He Youguang shook his head and smiled irresponsibly, and said: "I can''t be the lord, my father won''t let my sister come out, it''s useless for you to find me! I don''t want to do it, nor dare to do it! Hearing this reason, Xia Yu was silent. How could he not know what He Hongshen meant? In fact, before he came this time, he was prepared to not see He Chaoqiong. The main purpose of his coming this time was to express his attitude to prove that he didn''t care about He Chaoqiong, and then he wanted to know the attitude of the He family. Is it completely opposed? Or simply posture, or there is still some discussion. All of these must be judged after he sees them in person. "Well, if that''s the case, then I''m not too difficult for others, so you can bring me a word to Chaoqiong, just say..." When Xia Yu said this, he paused for a moment, and continued to look firmly and said: "I like her, I will always wait for her!" He You looked at Xia Yu blankly for a few seconds, then smiled and shook his head: "Haha!" "Xia Sheng, don''t you feel blushing when you say this? My younger sister is easy to be deceived when she is young, and will believe what you said, but I don''t believe it! "Xia Sheng, to be honest, I admire you from the bottom of my heart for your ability." "Man is rich, and I understand the mentality of wanting three wives and four concubines. I don''t care about others, and I can''t control it, but I can''t let my sister be wronged!" "I don''t want my sister to be uncomfortable, but I don''t want to see her sad in the future, so if you want to be with my sister, you give up that woman!" He Youguang first said it in a mocking tone, then he seemed to be unhappy, his tone became emotional, and finally he changed decisively without knowing it. "Can you do it?" "As long as you can do it, even if my father opposes, I will support my sister!" "But the question is can you do it?" He Youguang finished the question, leaned on the backrest, and stared at Xia Yu, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts. "Youguang, I can''t give up the person who loves me. If I promise you easily now, you won''t be relieved. If I can promise you to give up Li Qian, you will worry that one day I will give up Chaoqiong, you Do you want me to be like this?" Xia Yu was not angry, his mentality was very stable, and he slowly said after He Youguang finished speaking. Although the tone was very soothing, He Youguang was speechless and did not know how to refute. Indeed, as Xia Yu said, if Xia Yu gave up Li Qian easily at his request, Xia Yu''s image in his mind would become cold-blooded. So even with He Chaoqiong, he would worry that Xia Yu would easily give up He Chaoqiong one day. So his request itself was unreasonable, and no matter what Xia Yu did, he couldn''t satisfy him. He Youguang was silent for a long time. Thinking of his sister''s daily performance, he knew that his sister really liked Xia Yu. Although my sister and Xia Yu don¡¯t play a lot of times together, it¡¯s more than ten times in total, but if you count the number of phone calls, that¡¯s more. In the past, He Chaoqiong would basically talk to Xia Yu in the room every night. Or Xia Yu''s sister called, he knew this. In addition, another important factor influencing my sister''s sinking was the pendant Xia Yu gave her. Seeing things and thinking about people, even if you are a stranger, if you think about it for a month, you will unknowingly like each other, let alone He Chaoqiong himself has a good impression and curiosity about Xia Yu? "Xia Yu, I really regret that I brought my sister to the auction!" After a long silence, He Youguang couldn''t help but sighed and said, his attitude has also become relaxed, and the title of Xia Yu has also been changed back, and he is no longer so alien. When Xia Yu heard this, he was also silent, and it was hard to say anything. "Youguang, it''s not that I am boasting. You should also know that in Xiangjiang and Omen, no one is more suitable for Chaoqiong than me, not to mention the two of us still like each other." Xia Yu began to persuade, wanting to let He Youguang''s attitude continue to loosen. He Youguang was silent. Of course he knew this, and his father knew too, otherwise he would not have supported his sister''s relationship with Xia Yu. But what caught him and the He family off guard was that Xia Yu went abroad, and there was an extra woman, and his sister was a step late! Things suddenly become complicated! His He family is not a small family, but it is a big family of Xiangjiang Omen. The first Chinese jazz is Sir He Dong who is the main line of Xiangjiang He family. Their family is regarded as a branch. But even so, his He family is also a master of Omen, and he wants to let his He family''s palm pearl and other women serve a husband together, his He family cannot afford to lose this person. In other words, Xia Yu is not strong enough to make his family ashamed! Up to now, he can only clarify everything, and He Youguang also feels tired, and he doesn''t want to make unnecessary arguments anymore. He said what his father meant. "Xia Yu, there is nothing impossible in the world. If you want my sister to have a good life, you will either give up that woman, or you will shut up other people¡¯s mouths. Anyway, I can¡¯t be ashamed of my family. Thing!" "This is not what I meant, it is also what I meant." "Simply stop here, you can figure it out!" After finishing speaking, He Youguang stood up and walked outside. When he reached the door, he paused, looked back at Xia Yu and said, "If you say, I will take it! Goodbye!" "Good to go!" Xia Yu watched He Youguang leave, then sat down again, looked at the clear tea in the cup, and smiled. "Sure enough, he guessed right, He Hongshen still has interests first, hehe!" He Youguang''s last words, Xia Yu would not understand this? He Youguang said that it was not what he meant, it could only be He Hongshen''s meaning. The latter vaguely said that he meant it, which can be understood as his meaning in the future, which means that if he becomes the head of the He family, he will Would mean this. Asking Xia Yu to give up Li Qian, he said it was impossible before, so He Youguang¡¯s words meant that if you really want to have both of them, then Xia Yu should stop others¡¯ mouths by himself. He wouldn¡¯t do it. This issue. Although the truth is cruel, it is very realistic. If Xia Yu¡¯s strength is so strong that no one dares to criticize it, and it surpasses all the powers of the Xiangjiang Omen by a large margin, then even if the He family¡¯s daughter was a kid for him, other people will only envy He family holding his thigh. Rather than laugh at the embarrassment of the He family. When the He family and Xia Yu become in-laws, it will definitely benefit the He family a lot, and He Hongshen will definitely not stop it! The wealthy families will marry together, and it is destined that the daughter of the wealthy family will find it difficult to find the wishful man, and it is likely to become the victim of the marriage. It happens that He Chaoqiong likes Xia Yu. If Xia Yu is strong enough and marrying Xia Yu is good for the He family, then it is the best choice! "It seems that He Youguang really feels sorry for Chao Qiong. I haven''t seen him before, he has a tofu heart, ha ha!" Xia Yu took a sip of the tea, played with the teacup, and murmured with a faint smile. "Old fox, don''t you think I am not strong enough? I believe you will be dumbfounded soon..." ... However, after He Youguang left the teahouse, he walked back with a complicated mood. As a rich man, how does he not know how much autonomy the rich children have in marriage? With his father''s temperament, if his sister He Chaoqiong really wants to marry, she is destined to marry only the right person. He is also very aware of the nasty things about the wealthy children. Almost no wealthy children will be honest, so even if his sister He Chaoqiong marries someone else, he will still encounter the issue of a woman outside her husband. So those wealthy children will definitely not be better than Xia Yu or even worse, because Xia Yu is still on the bright side at least, and his sister He Chaoqiong has already acquiesced. If it is someone else, this is impossible. So no matter what you think, Xia Yu seems to be the most suitable sister He Chaoqiong. It is good for his sister, of course he is not willing to stop, and he sincerely hopes that his sister can live better. The indifferent attitude towards Xia Yu before was actually seven-point true and three-point false, with the intention of pretending to be a gesture. Otherwise, don''t Xia Yu look down on his family? Underestimate his sister? Thinking about it, He Youguang walked to the house and after reporting to his father, He Hongshen just nodded, and didn''t say anything else. After that, He Youguang came to the door of He Chaoqiong''s room, knocked on the door and went in, and then came out again not long after. The only difference is that He Chaoqiong in the room has returned to his former liveliness. Chapter 312: Fund landing and talent ? Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when the emotional matter went smoothly. Next, we can finally continue to prepare for the war! After returning to Xiangjiang, Xia Yu called Wang Qi over. Time is getting more and more pressing. It is time for the Galaxy Fund to officially land! "Wang Qi, all the people I ticked on the list will be gathered for me in the conference room, and you will notify me when you are done." Xia Yu gave the selected list to Wang Qi and ordered. "Yes!" Wang Qi glanced at the list, immediately knew what was going on, and immediately answered with a serious face. Soon, Wang Qi gathered the people, and then came to report to Xia Yu. "Let''s go!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took Wang Qichao to the conference room. As soon as the door of the meeting room opened, the people inside looked over. When they saw that it was the boss Xia Yu, everyone cheered up and wanted to show the best spirit to the boss. When he came to the rostrum and glanced around, Xia Yu nodded secretly, then smiled and said, "Sit down!" "thank you boss!" "Now let''s call the name, the one who clicks the name should come!" "Wang Gang." "To!" "Xue He!" ... "Is there anyone who hasn''t named his name?" After reconfirming again, Xia Yu satisfactorily put down the list and said: "You people are all carefully selected by me. I have a major task that you need to perform!" Hearing this, everyone''s spirits were shocked, and the gaze towards Xia Yu became fiery. "However, this operation is top secret. Everyone must sign a non-disclosure agreement and will be restricted before the end of the plan. If you don''t want to participate, you can leave. I won''t have any comments. "However, I want to remind you in advance that if no one is leaving, and there is a problem later because someone does not obey the management, I will never spare him!" Xia Yu first spoke calmly for a while, then his eyes became sharp, sweeping across everyone''s faces like a knife, and said coldly. Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and realized the importance of this top-secret operation. A joke, if you really quit, then your brain is really drawn! In the securities business, when some actions need to be kept confidential, they must take confidentiality measures, which they understand very well. Movement restrictions are limited, and it''s no big deal. As long as you can make money, you can say anything! And more importantly, the boss Xia Yu can choose them to participate in the action because he values ??them. Otherwise, why not choose other people outside? It is an absolute honor to be able to participate in the plan. If anything earth-shattering is done, it can be a lifetime honor for some of them, and the benefits are enormous! "Very well, no one seems to quit, I didn''t mistake you!" After waiting for a long time and still not seeing anyone leave, Xia Yu smiled appreciatively. "Wang Qi, send the confidentiality agreement! After signing it, put it away!" Xia Yu said to Wang Qi who was sitting next to him. "Yes!" Wang Qi immediately responded, then greeted several people, and sent a copy of the confidentiality agreement that had been prepared. After receiving the non-disclosure agreement, everyone did not read the content, signed and pressed their fingerprints when they picked up the pen, and the action was very neat. After the confidentiality agreement was received, Xia Yu began to group. "Okay, now start to group, and listen carefully to which group you are in and who the group leader is. Then the group leader will be responsible for supervising and managing the group members. If something goes wrong, the group leader will take the main responsibility, understand?" "understand!" "The first team, team leader Ma Kai, team members Liu Hui, Wu Hua..." "The second group, Song Yang, the leader, Song Fei, Mei Changhe..." "The third group, group leader Wang Gang, group members..." ... "The sixth group, group leader Liu Xiao, group members..." "The seventh team, team leader Xue He, team members..." "Group eight, group leader Liu Wei, group members..." "I still have a list here, and I will send a copy to each team leader at that time." "Wait a minute, each of your team leaders bring your own team members, and go to the next building with your team to get familiar with their respective offices and living areas." "I will give you three days to deal with your family affairs well, then move in and get in touch with the members of the group as soon as possible. Do you understand?" At the end, Xia Yu raised her voice and said. "understand!" Everyone responded in unison. "Wang Qi, you will arrange the other things!" "Yes!" After that, Xia Yu left the meeting room, and Wang Qi was responsible for the following matters. He believed Wang Qi could arrange such things. ... "Hello?...Okay, I must be there!" Not long after returning to his office, Xia Yu received a call from Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci didn''t say anything but said that he wanted to invite him to meet him. Xia Yu naturally smiled and agreed. After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu murmured with a smile: "It seems stable!" Liu Tianci took the initiative to call him to meet, only to talk about job-hopping. According to Liu Tianci''s tone on the phone, Xia Yu could feel Liu Tianci''s attitude. Liu Tianci decided to accept his invitation! Soon, Xia Yu went out again and came to the meeting place. When he arrived, Liu Tianci just sat down for a while. "Xia Sheng, here you are! Sit down!" Liu Tianci said with a smile, "Thank you!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he sat opposite Liu Tianci, and the two began to chat. When the atmosphere was about the same, Xia Yu asked: "Liu Sheng, I wonder how you are thinking about it?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci expectantly. Liu Tianci smiled and said, "After you left, I thought about it for a long time. I think it might be better to go another way!" Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled suddenly, stretched out his hand to Liu Tianci, and solemnly said: "Welcome to join!" "thank you boss!" Liu Tianci also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Yu heavily. He shouted with a serious expression and changed his words directly. Xia Yu was happy. He didn''t expect Liu Tianci to be so decisive, but wouldn''t it be better? "In public, I am your boss, but in private, we are friends, and the name you call is fine." Xia Yu smiled and said that he and Liu Tianci were already close friends, but now they suddenly became subordinates. Xia Yu was worried that Liu Tianci would not adapt. "Good boss!" Liu Tianci nodded in response, making Xia Yu smile. "God, don''t you ask about your treatment?" Xia Yu smiled. UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM "It doesn''t matter if you have more money or less, I believe you will not treat me badly, boss! Liu Tianci shrugged and said with an indifferent expression. Xia Yu''s heart warmed. Liu Tianci was able to give up HSBC to choose him because of his trust in him. Of course he could not let Liu Tianci suffer a loss, so he said: "I will give you an annual salary of one million and an additional 5% of the bank. Profit distribution." Liu Tianci''s eyes widened and he was very surprised. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to give such a generous treatment. The annual salary of one million is already very high, although it is a bit less than his income from HSBC, but the 5% profit dividend is the bulk. Xia Yu''s bank has developed into a large bank, and the bank''s profit is very high. It is absolutely top treatment without him paying a penny to return him with a 5% profit dividend! This attitude of Xia Yu moved Liu Tianci very much. He did not refuse, but nodded and promised: "Thank you boss, I will not let you down!" Chapter 313: Bank handover Compared with most other industries, the banking industry is a high-profit industry, but whether it can make money depends on the specific operating conditions. Just like the current Guang''an Bank, its total assets are 200 million Hong Kong dollars, liabilities are 190 million Hong Kong dollars, and its net assets are only 10 million Hong Kong dollars. And because of its normal operations, its net profit last year was less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the situation at the time when Guangan Bank had not changed, 5% of the profit distribution was less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is pitiful. But if Xia Yu''s resources are injected into Guang''an Bank, Guang''an Bank will definitely be able to expand, and it will not be difficult for the net profit to reach 10 million Hong Kong dollars by then. Not to mention other things, Liu Tianci himself is confident that Guangan Bank will be managed to this level. By that time, 5% of the profit distribution will also be 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the previous million annual salary. HSBC Securities has more. Later, in order to make his income higher, Liu Tianci will do his best to develop the bank. When the bank''s income is high, his dividend will increase, which is what he deserves. After all, we must take into consideration that 95% of every work he creates is given to Xia Yu, and it is impossible not to give him any hard work. Of course, Xia Yu''s consideration was also given to 5%. This is different from Yan Wenhan to Jiuding Newspaper Company. When Yan Wenhan joined Jiuding Newspaper Company, the company developed very well, and the cost of joining the company was not high. He was not a particularly top talent, and he was already waiting for work. According to his situation, A dividend of one percent is already a lot. But Liu Tianci''s situation is completely different. Guang''an Bank has just taken over, and it is still in a low period. Liu Tianci is required to develop it. This is definitely more difficult. Moreover, Liu Tianci originally had better treatment and development. Without knowing that Xia Yu was a rebirth, he was willing to risk losing his original golden rice bowl to embrace Xia Yu''s silver rice bowl. If Xia Yu did not come up with something real When things come, even if Liu Tianci doesn''t say anything, he will care about it in his heart. Draw him a bigger pie and encourage him to work harder. Why not? "The boss, give me five days, and I will resign after handing over the current HSBC Securities job." Liu Tianci asked for instructions. When Xia Yu heard this, instead of agreeing, he shook his head in Liu Tianci''s astonishment. Without waiting for Liu Tianci''s question, Xia Yu said: "No hurry, I still have a plan to implement. I don''t want Guangan Bank to be noticed, and I also need you to help me watch it at HSBC." Liu Tianci frowned, thinking that Xia Yu wanted him to be a traitor, and he felt a little resisted. He couldn''t do what he could do as a traitor and sell his old master for glory. Even if Xia Yu asked him to do it, he didn''t want to do it. Even if Xia Yu really proposed it, he would think he had read Xia Yu wrong. Thinking of this, Liu Tianci said embarrassedly: "Boss, isn''t this bad?" "Haha, don''t think about being crooked, I don''t want you to be a rape, but I want you to pay attention to the wind, so as to remind me in advance." Xia Yu also knew Liu Tianci''s worries. Knowing that he wanted something wrong, Xia Yu said with a smile. Liu Tianci''s face eased, and as soon as he wanted to ask, Xia Yu said, "I will tell you the plan. You will know what to do after listening." Liu Tianci heard the words. Nodded, his eyes focused and looked at Xia Yu, waiting for his narration. "You should also know that in the past few years, Jardines has gone around taking over other people''s companies and foundations through mergers and acquisitions. Unfortunately, I was also their target. I took action some time ago and almost capsized, so the enmity has been forged!" Xia Yu first created a magnificent and upright image of a suffering master, so that he could become famous as a teacher, and also aroused Liu Tianci''s feelings of resentment of the same enemy. "Since Jardine wants to seize my foundation, there is nothing to say. Now I am also trying to win the idea of ??a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, and I have raised more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in funds. There is absolutely no fight with Jardine Matheson questionable!" Hearing this, Liu Tianci''s eyes widened and his breathing became rapid. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to talk about such an explosive situation as soon as he came. The idea of ??hitting Jardine''s companies has also attracted more than one billion yuan of funds? So, as Xia Yu said, there is absolutely no problem with fighting with Jardines. For one or two companies under Jardines, as long as the calculation is done properly, it is very likely that they will be able to grab them. And there is one more crucial point. Xia Yu actually got more than one billion funds. They are all comparable to the funds he manages. This is too incredible. I don''t know how Xia Yu got it! Of course, if he were to know that all the money belonged to Xia Yu, he would probably faint in shock, but it was destined to be unsayable, and it was impossible for Liu Tianci to know. When Liu Tianci was shocked, Xia Yu continued to tell. "But you also know the influence of Jardine Matheson. Even HSBC Bank definitely has their relationship. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for me to put more than one billion funds in HSBC. There must be a bank that belongs to me. Ensure the safety and confidentiality of funds, which is why I will acquire Guangan Bank." Hearing this, Liu Tianci nodded silently, and finally figured out why he acquired Guangan Bank at this point in time. But when I thought about it, Liu Tianci became excited. He didn''t expect that the boss Xia Yu would have this kind of old bottom. He pulled more than one billion funds, and all of them were put in Guangan Bank. Then the situation of Guangan Bank far exceeded his. Psychological expectations, he is completely a winner! Surprise joy! He thought that Guang''an Bank was an ordinary small bank. He still plucked up the courage to take over, and was mentally prepared for several years of hard work, but he didn''t expect that Guang''an Bank was actually a piece of gold covered by it. The surprise came so suddenly! "Guangan Bank will definitely change its name in the future. I have taken the name, and it will be called Jiuding Bank. It will be the financial center of all of my companies." "Change this name, the benefits will be very big, at least reputation and credibility will no longer have to work hard from scratch, and the business will be better developed." "But before the end of my plan, I don¡¯t want to let Jardine know that I have a bank. When the bank has just taken over, employees can¡¯t fully trust it. Just check carefully at that time, and Jardine will definitely be able to find clues. Increase uncontrollable risks!" "So before the end of my plan, Guangan Bank must be low-key and then low-key. This is why the news of Guangan Bank''s change of ownership has not been exposed." "If you lose your position at HSBC Securities and move to Guang''an Bank now, it will definitely arouse the attention of many people. Do you understand now?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci with a smile. Liu Tianci nodded solemnly, knowing that he was really not suitable for quitting now. "You also know that my current funds are in HSBC, and I have also used HSBC''s financial leverage. I am worried that Jardines will make crooked tricks at that time, so you are in HSBC Securities. The news will definitely be more informed. Let me know in advance. Can respond in time." Xia Yu explained. "Boss rest assured, I will definitely stare at it and report to you as soon as there is news!" Liu Tianci solemnly promised. Since it was not to betray HSBC''s interests, but to help Xia Yu defend Yihe, he certainly would not refuse. Even if you don''t consider Xia Yu to be his new boss, just referring to his friend relationship with Xia Yu, he will definitely help. What''s more, Xia Yu and him are both Chinese, so when facing the British, they should be the same. "Well, it depends on you!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "But you don''t have to do nothing. I will give you a task, that is, during this period of time, to understand Guang''an Bank thoroughly and to formulate a development plan. When my plan is over, I will be the first time To carry out bank reforms, a complete plan is necessary, so this plan requires you, the general manager of the bank, to do it." Xia Yu''s smile receded and exhorted. "Okay, I will do my best!" Liu Tianci nodded and promised. "For some time now, the president of Guang''an Bank is still Liang Dingbang. When I take you to see him, I will let him hand over with you, and find him for anything you need." "Ok!" ... Later, Xia Yu took Liu Tianci to find Liang Dingbang. When he saw Liu Tianci, Liang Dingbang was very surprised, and then became surprised in his heart. Liu Tianci, as one of the top existences in HSBC Securities, naturally cannot fail to know Liang Dingbang. Because of his acquaintance, he was surprised. Without letting Liang Dingbang think about it, Xia Yu introduced: "Liang Sheng, let me introduce you. This is Liu Tianci, the general manager of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, and will be the general manager of Guangan Bank later." "God, this is Liang Dingbang, the president of Guang''an Bank." "Hello there!" Liu Tianci smiled and stretched out his hand and said. Liang Dingbang hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Liu Tianci, and said with emotion: "I didn''t expect Liu Shenglai to take over. With Liu Sheng''s ability and Xia Sheng''s full support, Guangan Bank will definitely flourish." While speaking, Liang Dingbang also admired Xia Yu in his heart. He directly recruited the elite executives of HSBC in a few days, and he didn''t know how Xia Yu did it! ... After some greetings Xia Yu said to Liang Dingbang: "Liang Sheng, I still have to trouble you for a while. It will take a while for Godsend to hand over the affairs of HSBC Securities." "During this period, Tianci will gradually become familiar with the situation of Guang''an Bank. You will need to provide any information he needs at that time. I will trouble you to connect with him and complete the transition well." "Xia Sheng rest assured, I promise to cooperate fully!" Liang Dingbang assured with a serious expression. "One more thing, before Tianci officially takes over, don''t disclose any news that he is about to quit." Xia Yu finally exhorted. "Don''t worry, my mouth is very strict!" Liang Dingbang nodded in response. "Liang Sheng, I will trouble you then!" "No trouble, this is what I should do!" Chapter 314: Amazing return on investment ? Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the fundraising reception. That night, the luxury cars at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel were like clouds, and a large carpet stretched from the entrance to the lobby, and the venue was full of guests. The bosses or executives of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., including Xia Yu, Wang Qi, and Ai Lewen, wandered among the guests. "Director Li, thank you for coming." Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man is named Li Junxia, ??and he is currently the post of Chief Superintendent. He can be regarded as a senior officer in the police department. If you follow the historical trajectory, Li Junxia will rise all the way, from assisting the chief to the post of the chief of the Hong Kong police department. After leaving his post, he will join Li Chaoren''s subordinate to be responsible for security matters. Among them, he is responsible for solving the sensational Zhang Ziqiang case. Xia Yu also had some fate with him, so he barely knew him. "Haha, I should be grateful for Xia Sheng''s invitation. It''s a great honor!" Li Junxia said with a hearty smile. After a few words with Li Junxia, ??Xia Yu went to greet other visitors. This time, as long as the people who received the invitation letter had nothing to do, almost all came, especially the high-ranking officials of the government departments. They were all human beings. After receiving the invitation letter from Xia Yu, they would immediately arrive at Xia Yu¡¯s. Meaning, many people start to prepare funds for the first time. If it is confirmed that Xia Yu''s fund can make money, they will definitely recognize it immediately. In addition to these people who Xia Yu calculated, almost all investors from Huizhong No. 1 Fund and Huizhong No. 2 Fund have also come. Although they have confidence in Xia Yu, they will hand over the funds to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., but confidence is a virtual thing after all, and only real data can give them complete peace of mind. Therefore, all investors are very interested in knowing that the investment and operation of the two funds will be announced at the reception. If the return on investment is high, they will definitely increase their investment share when the Huizhong No. 2 and Huijin No. 2 funds raise funds. However, although no specific data has been seen yet, everyone is ready to go. After all, if the rate of return on investment is not high, Jiuding Securities will definitely not dare to hold a cocktail party with fanfare. There will be this scene, which proves that the results must be very impressive. In the hope of tens of thousands, the time finally arrived, and Xia Yu appeared on the most central stage with a group of executives. When the lights were shining on everyone, the court suddenly became quiet, everyone put down what they were doing and cast their eyes on Xia Yu and others on the court. Xia Yu smiled slightly and gave an opening speech: "Dear guests..." "Papa Papa..." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he stepped down amid warm applause and handed over the process to the general manager Wang Qi. "Presumably everyone can''t wait to know the investment situation of Huijin 1 and Huizhong 1." "Ha ha¡­¡­" After Wang Qi smiled and said this, there was a burst of kind laughter off the court. Wang Qi did not appetite, and directly announced: "So now we will start the first process of the reception, and our two fund managers will introduce the investment and operation of the fund." "First of all, Ailewen, the manager of Huizhong No. 1 Fund, will introduce to you!" "Now let me introduce you to the operation of Huizhong No. 1 Fund." Ai Lewen took the conversation, and went straight to the subject without being muddled. "It has been three months since the establishment of Huizhong No. 1 Fund. The original fund was 100 million Hong Kong dollars." "The fund''s investment scope is..." "As of yesterday, the total assets of Huizhong No. 1 Fund have reached 131.5 million Hong Kong dollars, with a profit of 31.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the return on investment has reached 31.5%!" "Wow!" "Isn''t it, so high? It''s equivalent to an increase of 10% a month, if one year later, the return on investment will not reach 120%?" "It''s incredible!" As Eleven said this data calmly, there was a silence first, then an uproar. The return on investment of 31.5%, and the return of more than 90% of private equity funds in one year are not comparable, and this is only the result of the Huizhong No. 1 Fund in less than three months! "Needless to say, I must invest in Huizhong No. 2 Fund, and I invested 500,000 in No. 1 Fund. This time I must invest 1 million, no, 2 million!" "I also want to invest two million. Xia Yu is indeed a stock god. His fund has such a high return on investment. If you don''t seize the opportunity, you will really be thundered!" "That''s right, it seems that I want to withdraw the shares of other funds and only invest in Jiuding Securities'' funds. Only by following the stock **** can I make a lot of money!" "This Eleven is also very capable. After all, he is the investment manager of Huizhong No. 1 Fund. He is in charge of investment matters. Look for him!" ... The guests below talked a lot. Even if Eleven was standing on the stage, he could hear the words clearly below. When he heard the recognition of the rich, Eleven could no longer remain calm, and the smile on his face couldn''t hide it. . Of course, the majority of conference talks are basically small rich people. Although the rich or rich people with higher status are shocked, they can still remain calm. It''s just that they are the only ones who hide their turbulent hearts. Clear. "Next, we invite Jin Jiajun, the investment manager of Huijin No. 1, to introduce the investment situation to you." After a while, seeing that it was almost time for the discussion, Wang Qi nodded to Ai Lewen, and after the latter stepped back, Wang Qi spoke. The venue is quiet again, and everyone is looking forward to the investment situation of Huijin No. 1. Although many people are determined to invest, they also know that too many rich people have come, and one mountain is higher than the other. With a certain share, they may not be able to grab as much as they may have money. Can''t vote. It''s a seller''s market now! But if the investment situation of Huijin No. 1 is not bad, then the amount of funds raised will be more, and their investment opportunities will be more. "The initial capital of Huijin No. 1 is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. As of yesterday, the total fund assets have reached 258 million Hong Kong dollars, achieving a profit of 58 million Hong Kong dollars, and an investment return rate of 29%!" Jin Jiajun said concisely, without any complacency. Although the fund he manages is more profitable, the return on investment is lower than that of Eleven. Although he also knows this is because the funds he manages are twice that of Ai Lewen, and the investment is more difficult, but for him, lower is lower, and he disdains to find reasons for himself. "Wow, 58 million Hong Kong dollars? So much profit?" "The return on investment is 29%? Lower than Huizhong No. 1 Fund..." "You are wrong. How can you confuse it? You don''t look at Huijin No. 1 fund which is twice as much as Huizhong No. 1 Fund. The investment difficulty is also doubled. It is normal for the rate of return to be lowered, but It¡¯s just a little bit lower, it¡¯s already pretty awesome!" "Yes, that''s right, what Lao Liu said is reasonable, it can''t be compared, but this rate of return on investment is already very high, if it can be maintained, there will be a return on investment of more than 110 in a year, which is rare in Xiangjiang!" ... Hearing the following discussion, Jin Jiajun''s expression eased a lot There was also a smile on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that there were many discerning people, so he was relieved. "Well, everyone has also learned about the operation of the two funds. Everyone said, is the return on investment high?" Wang Qi took the conversation and said, speaking later, he suddenly raised his volume. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the court was completely detonated. "high!" "Very high!" Cooperating cheers came from off the court. "I know that due to the previous fund limit, many friends did not grab many shares. We also want to take everyone to make money, so under the instructions of our boss, our company decided to set up three funds again to serve everyone!" Wang Qi said with a smile. After speaking, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the court had become stagnant. Many people held their breath and raised their ears for fear of misheard the next key confidence. Chapter 315: 6 billion ? "The three funds this time are Huizhong No. 2, Huijin No. 2 and Evergreen No. 1 Fund." "Among them, Huizhong No. 2 is managed by investment manager Ai Lewen, Huijin No. 2 is managed by investment manager Jin Jiajun, and Evergreen No. 1 Fund is managed by me." "The three funds each have a quota of 200 million Hong Kong dollars." "Among them, Huizhong No. 2 Fund has 400 shares, and the subscription amount per share is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars." "The Huijin No. 2 Fund has 100 shares, and the subscription amount per share is 2 million Hong Kong dollars." "Evergreen No. 1 Fund has 2,000 shares, and the subscription amount per share is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars." "Guests can choose the fund of their choice for recognition according to their own circumstances..." When Wang Qi finished the introduction and announced the start of the recognition of the funds, the scene suddenly became lively, and many people rushed towards the three fund recognition platforms that were separated on the stage. Everyone knows the potential meaning of the three levels of the three funds, and consciously goes to the corresponding funds according to their own strength. The investment manager abilities of Huijin and Huizhong funds are not much different, and they choose whichever one is the same, but the top leaders will take the initiative to subscribe to the Huijin No. 2 fund, and will not grab the number of funds for the Huizhong No. 2. As for the Changqing No. 1 Fund with the lowest threshold, no one underestimates it. After all, although Wang Qi has no record to prove his ability, Wang Qi is the general manager of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and his ability is definitely stronger than Ailewen and Jin Jiajun. So the return on investment will certainly not be low. Time passed unknowingly. Due to the dazzling investment transcripts, the enthusiasm of all investors was very high. In less than an hour, all three funds were recognized. When the three funds announced that their shares were empty, many people who did not recognize the funds still sighed. Later, Xia Yu took a group of executives from Jiuding Securities to the center of the stage again. "Thank you for your recognition and support of our company. Now I announce that all three funds with a quota of 600 million yuan have been subscribed. Please come to our company to complete the remittance and receive the investment agreement within three days. If you don¡¯t come to subscribe, it will be considered a waiver, and the spare share will be opened to the outside world. I hope everyone will not miss it! "Finally, let me explain that the current three funds, plus the previous Huijin No. 1 and Huizhong No. 1 funds, will pay dividends at the end of this year, and we will let you know when the specific time is up!" "Now I announce that the fund recognition ceremony has ended successfully. Guests, please feel free." After Xia Yu announced the end of the reception and stepped down, many people gathered around Xia Yu and got close to Xia Yu. Others also followed each other''s goals and used this platform to communicate with each other. There were still some people who had trouble with Xia Yu. Yu bid farewell. In the early morning of the next day, the news about the extremely high return on investment of the two funds of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and the completion of the subscription of 600 million Hong Kong dollars in less than an hour spread the whole of Xiangjiang and Longmen, and at a super fast speed. Spread to Southeast Asia. Not only the citizens were shocked, but they were shocked as well. The 30% return on investment in less than three months has exceeded the annual return on investment of most of their securities and fund companies. And what shocked them even more was the six billion yuan of approved funds, which was completed in less than an hour, which is incredible! Many small and medium-sized securities companies and funds have total assets of only one or two billion or tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. This is what they have accumulated over the years, but now Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. easily surpassed them, or more than several times. Combined with the previous assets of Jiuding Securities, the peers were surprised to find that the assets of Jiuding Securities exceeded one billion Hong Kong dollars at one time. Starting today, HeungKong has added another billion-dollar top financial company, and HeungKong securities industry will make waves again! After all, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will hold at least 600 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity. It does not need to use financial leverage at all. It can set off a huge wave in the stock market. Just use funds to crush most small and medium securities companies. Fund companies were suppressed until they went bankrupt. But from another point of view, such a large sum of funds into the stock market can definitely speculate the stock prices of some stocks. As long as you follow the pace of Jiuding Securities, you can definitely drink some soup and water. I might not care, but for those small companies, it can be regarded as a good meal. Therefore, in this situation, many securities companies and fund companies with insufficient strength have to temporarily stabilize their investment plans and choose to wait and see the actions of Jiuding Securities. This is the prestige of a large financial company! The disturbance from the outside world did not affect Jiuding Securities Company. In less than two days, all 600 million funds were received. The eight teams of the Galaxy Fund all lived in the building next door to Jiuding Securities Company, and the building began to be closed. Everything is ready, it''s time to start! Soon, Xia Yu convened Wang Qi and other executives for a secret investment meeting. At the meeting, Xia Yu once again used his golden finger skills and pointed out a large number of blue-chip stocks that will rise now or in the future. With the iron evidence of Huijin No. 1 and Huizhong No. 2 funds, everyone naturally believed in Xia Yu''s guidance, and they discussed and delineated their respective investment ranges. The last time it was due to limited funds, but this time the total investment funds were twice as much as the last time, so Ai Lewen and others can naturally invest with their hands and feet. After the meeting, everyone immediately took action, arranged for their subordinates to divide tasks, collect information and formulate a buy-in plan. Wang Qi and others naturally know that many eyes of the outside world are fixed on Jiuding Securities. As long as they buy a stock with a big fanfare, there will definitely be a large influx of funds to follow suit, which will increase the cost of buying shares and disrupt investment plans. . So how to technically confuse other colleagues who are ready to follow suit is worthy of careful consideration. Of course, the task of investing in blue-chip stocks is mainly to Huizhong No. 2 and Huijin No. 2 Fund ~ www.novelhall.com~ Wang Qi''s Evergreen No. 1 Fund quietly began to buy into Jardine Air Cargo Company. After all, the investment of senior officials in the political and police circles is basically concentrated in the Evergreen No. 1 Fund. Xia Yu needs their funds to be at the forefront to shelter his plans. The actions of Jiuding Securities are in the light, while the plans of Galaxy Fund are in the dark. When Jiuding Securities began to invest in a planned way, Xia Yu''s 1.3 billion funds were unknowingly transferred to Guangan Bank, and Guangan Bank opened a large number of anonymous accounts to decentralize these funds. And at the beginning of the new week, the eight teams of the Galaxy Fund had a clear division of labor and started a secret buying operation. The first and second group, the target Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company. The third and fourth group, the target Jardine Machinery Group. The fifth and sixth group, the target Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. The seventh and eighth group, the target-Wharf! Chapter 316: cosplay ?In a flash, half a month passed. Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund orderly bought the shares of the four major Jardine companies. Only by acquiring enough stocks can there be sufficient ammunition to stir up the stock price and start sniper and acquisition wars. After half a month, time came to the end of July unknowingly, and Jiayi TV''s "July Offensive" was also coming to an end. The "July Offensive" was huge. For this "July Offensive", Zhou Shuyi spent a total of 10 million Hong Kong dollars and filmed several major dramas. TVB was so scared that TVB was ready to fight. However, it turns out that Zhou Shuyi incorrectly estimated the strength of Jiayi TV station and the market situation. As a result, TVB was relieved and the future of Jiayi TV station was cast a heavy shadow. . Ten million Hong Kong dollars in this era! Smashed in, although it increased the ratings of Jiayi TV a little bit, and also increased a little bit of income, but it was a big loss! A massive "July Offensive" has been declared a failure, and now TVB is already watching Jiayi''s jokes. Because one of the shareholders of Jiayi TV Station, the Lin family has quit, and now there has been news that they want to divest. This kind of news that should have been kept secret has come out, which shows the severity of the situation at Jiayi TV Station. A storm has been brewing on the Jiayi TV board of directors, and I believe it will break out soon. By then, Jiayi TV will definitely be blown up to pieces. These situations were all followed by Huang Xizhao and others who received Xia Yu¡¯s order. Huang Xizhao now admires the boss Xia Yu very much, because the boss¡¯s language is indeed very likely to be realized. Judging from the current situation, Jiayi TV is really possible. It will go bankrupt if it takes less than a month. In this case, Huang Xizhao immediately increased his actions, mobilizing the entire network of TV stations to contact those talents of Jiayi TV station. Whether it¡¯s Mi Xue, Zheng Yuling, Wen Xue, Yang Panpan, Mao Shunyun, Yu Eucalyptus, Wei Qiuhua, etc.; or Bai Biao, Liang Xiaolong, Chen Qiang, Luo Lelin, etc.; or Qin Huang, Liu Dan, Feng Quefan, Qin Pei, Zeng Jiang, Chen Huimin, Cao Dahua, Chen Sisi, Guan Shan and other figures who have been on the screen for decades now and in the future are all being stared at. In addition to these actors, screenwriters or producers such as Xiao Sheng, Xu Ke, Lin Lingdong, Wu Weiguo, Yishu, Lin Yanni, Liang Fengyi are also key contacts and wins. As long as these people can be swallowed, the soft power of Li''s TV station can definitely surpass TVB in one fell swoop. If the digging thing is done, it is naturally impossible to hide it from the top of Jiayi TV. After all, too many people have been digging. However, the senior management of Jiayi TV station is already overwhelmed. If they do not deal with the shareholders'' withdrawal, one bad thing is the end of collective resignation, so they have no intention to manage this matter, and can only let Li TV station make small moves. Perhaps they also think that Li can''t dig anyone, after all, Li''s ratings are currently the bottom of the three TV stations in Hong Kong, and the British backing behind it is also the kind of hard digging. It''s a pity that Jiayi TV station doesn''t know that Li''s TV station has long changed a thigh, and it is still a super thigh of 24K pure gold. I believe that it will not take a month for the talents of Jiayi TV Station to be eaten by Li''s TV station. Let¡¯s talk about Yan Shining¡¯s side. The site that was circled at the beginning has been bought by Xia Yu, and all the training equipment and materials needed have been purchased. The training venues and houses are also built by Changjiang Infrastructure Day and Night. Under construction. The trained personnel are also fully recruited. Although the facilities are not perfect, Yan Shining also knows the importance of the security system to Xia Yu, so he is doing his best to train the personnel. This morning, after Xia Yu had breakfast, she took Li Qian to the company''s office, and Li Qian put the latest newspaper in front of Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it up, took a sip of tea and began to read it. With limited time, Xia Yu now pays less and less attention to the small matters of Jiuding Newspaper Company, because Yan Wenhan''s performance has made him feel relieved to hand over management affairs to him. Except for some things that Yan Wenhan judges will have a significant impact on Xia Yu, they will be reported immediately, and other things can be reported. Therefore, in this case, Xia Yu cannot know the various major events happening in various places in advance, and can only use some free time to learn about it through "Jiuding Daily" or "Fengyun Daily". When I saw Fengyun Daily, a piece of news came into view. "The first flagship store around comics in Hong Kong,''Manke Home'', officially opened today, and ten chain stores in five places including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, and the island nation opened simultaneously..." "Cici, give me the latest issue of "Milk Manke"." "Ok." When I took the "Milky Manke" magazine from Li Qian, I saw the news about the opening of the "Manke House" on the cover at first glance, and read it casually. I also saw many introduction advertisements inside the magazine. "Xia Yu, today is the opening day of''Manke House'', won''t you go by?" Li Qian asked curiously, tilting her head. Xia Yu smiled, stroked Li Qian¡¯s hair, and said softly: ¡°I have already told Ma Tengdong for this kind of thing. I don¡¯t need to be there. The customers targeted by Manke Home are mainly teenagers. You must know me, what did I do?" "Oh, too!" Li Qian said suddenly. "By the way, Xia Yu, what does it mean?" Li Qian asked curiously, pointing to an English word. It''s normal for Li Qian not to know it. In later generations, as long as she is a young man, she has almost heard it, but in this era, it has not been popularized, and even words have not yet appeared. At the World Science Fiction Annual Conference in Los Angeles, USA in 1984, the Japanese animator and chief executive officer of Japanese art studio Nobuyuki Takahashi will formally adopt a self-perpetuating role-playing performance art act in a cohesive English. The word "" to indicate, hence the name. In the 1990s, the island¡¯s animation and game industries successfully held a large number of animation and game exhibitions. In order to promote their products, the island¡¯s manga dealers and video game companies found some men, women and women dressed as anime in these game exhibitions and comic festivals. , The role in the game works to attract exhibitors. For this reason, the popularity and promotion of culture in the animation and game world At the same time, through various activities, media introductions, and a large amount of Internet-related information dissemination, the number of free participants has increased sharply, and it has gradually gained Real and independent development. But now, under Xia Yu''s intervention, the term appeared six years in advance, and under his promotion, it would definitely cause a sensation. Because in this era of Xiangjiang, there has never been an example of cos comic characters. When fantasy characters appear in the real world like real people, the impact is definitely not to be underestimated for fans of comics. Looking at Li Qian''s seemingly understanding, Xia Yu moved in his heart and smiled and asked, "Cici, do you want to see what it is like?" Li Qian''s eyes lit up when she heard the sound, and she asked in surprise, "Really?" "Well, let''s go!" Xia Yu nodded affirmatively, and then walked outside with the expectant Li Qian. In fact, Xia Yu suddenly wanted to visit the site, but what he wanted to see was the opening and operation of surrounding flagship stores. Chapter 317: Marketing and resource linkage Just after leaving the company building with Li Qian, Xia Yu''s gaze swept around subconsciously, and soon he spotted Ma Qianjun sleeping under a tree not far away. He wrinkled his brows and looked back at Li Qian. The car. In fact, after so many days, Xia Yu has become accustomed to Ma Qianjun always being in his sight. Ma Qianjun was not protecting Xia Yu, but silently protecting his sister Li Qian. Xia Yu couldn''t understand Ma Qianjun''s way of doing anything. He didn''t do anything all day long, so he hung far behind Li Qian. He won''t leave until Li Qian comes home, but by the next day, he will be seen at the company gate. But the problem is that Li Qian is always by Xia Yu''s side, and with Li Wuming, Li Qian''s safety can be said to be basically no problem, so Ma Qianjun doesn''t need to be like this. The current situation made Xia Yu feel uncomfortable. He also offered to arrange a job for Ma Qianjun, but he was rejected by Ma Qianjun. Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help it. After all, Ma Qianjun could be regarded as his brother-in-law. , He is not good at forcing him to do things. After getting in the car, Xia Yu said to Li Qian: "Xiqian, go and persuade your brother, so that he doesn¡¯t need to be like this. He doesn¡¯t listen to me when I speak, and only you can persuade him." Li Qian nodded obediently and said, "Well, I will find a chance to persuade him." In fact, while Li Qian was moved by the behavior of her brother Ma Qianjun, she was also helpless and uncomfortable. It''s just that it didn''t take long for her to recognize Ma Qianjun after all, and she is still in the right time to respond. With her temperament, without Xia Yu speaking, she can only follow Ma Qianjun''s own way. But now that Xia Yu has spoken, Li Qian is obedient. She is thinking about when to find an opportunity to tell her brother Ma Qianjun about this, but she doesn''t know if this elder brother who does his own way will listen to her. Soon, Xia Yu''s car arrived on the street where the flagship store in the Kowloon area is located at the No. 1 store of Manke¡¯s Home. When he came to the street, Xia Yu found that the unobstructed road in the past was congested. He peeked out of the car window and suddenly found that the congestion point was at the entrance of''Manke House''. "It looks like we can''t make it through. Find a place to park. Let''s go over." Xia Yu retracted his eyes and said to Li Qian. After that, the car stopped in front of a nearby shop, and Xia Yu led Li Qian towards the shop location of "Manke Home". "Wow, Mom, it''s Pikachu, look, what a big Pikachu..." "Wow, is this sister Xiao Wu? How beautiful!" "Luffy Luffy, I also want to take a photo with Luffy!" ... As soon as he walked into the crowd, Xia Yu heard the noisy noise coming from inside. The children''s laughter and exclamation came one after another, and Xia Yu couldn''t help but evoke a smile. "It looks good!" Xia Yu thought to himself, and then led Li Qian into the crowd. Soon, Xia Yu saw many cartoon characters standing at the door of''Manke''s Home''. For example, a cute girl with big eyes was dressed exactly like Xiao Wu in the "Douluo Dalu" comic. Next to Xiao Wu is A teenager, it was Tang San who cos. In addition to the male lead and female lead, all the other five of the Shrek Seven Monsters also have corresponding cos. A row of seven people interacting with the crowd in various poses, occasionally taking a photo or shouting a few slogans, although Judging from Xia Yu''s eyes, it seemed a bit crude and blunt, but it still made the fans and the crowd cheer. In addition to the exhibition area of ??"Douluo Dalu", there are also three exhibition areas of "One Piece", "Dragon Ball" and "Pokemon". The most popular is the "Pokemon" exhibition area. Pikachu is surrounded by the most children, and people wearing Pikachu coats have been interacting with the children, making the children''s laughter and laughter impossible to stop. "Xia Yu, it''s really interesting here!" "And that Pikachu, so cute, there is a girl inside, and it sounds like a "Pika Pika", it sounds very nice!" Li Qian looked left and right in surprise, feeling very fresh about everything, especially when Pikachuli made a silver bell-like cry, she widened Shui Lingling''s eyes and whispered softly. "Do you want to take a photo?" Xia Yu asked, holding her hand. "Really can?" Li Qian blinked and asked expectantly. "Let''s go, I''ll take a picture of you." Xia Yu said, pulling Li Qian towards the "Pokemon" exhibition area. The staff in the exhibition area recognized the boss Xia Yu at a glance, and under Xia Yu''s instructions, the staff handed a camera to Xia Yu. In fact, taking photos is also one of the activities. As long as the customers who bought the comics and peripheral products in the store, they can take a photo for free. The photos will be washed out for free and can be picked up directly in the store. Many customers come to the store to buy the photos. article. After taking many photos of Li Qian in a row, Li Qian returned to Xia Yu again with unsatisfactory talent. After taking the photos, Xia Yu found that Ma Tengdong had been standing nearby quietly, obviously the staff had notified him. Xia Yu handed the camera to Ma Tengdong, and said, "After the photo is washed, give it to me as soon as possible." "Good boss!" Ma Tengdong said respectfully when he took the camera. Xia Yu nodded lightly, then walked towards the store, Ma Tengdong quickly followed Xia Yu. As soon as he entered the store, Xia Yu found that the originally empty store of nearly two hundred square meters was already full of various peripheral products. Model figures, alloy dolls, plush toys of various sizes, anime accessories, COS clothing, stationery and notebooks printed with comic characters, food and toys, and comic magazines. Xia Yu also saw the manga pamphlets in the hands of customers. Obviously, the content of the manga serialization is enough to issue pamphlets. Think about it, so far, there have been only four comics in a "Military Friend Manke" so far. As long as the amount of four issues is enough to produce a single book, of course, if you want to publish a thicker one, you need five or six issues. enough. It''s not that no other comics were born, but that it is still in the stage of grabbing the market, and these four manga are still needed to charge. Now they are building word of mouth. If you rashly add some of the worse quality comics, the impact will be greater. So even if some of the company''s cartoonists create cartoons in their spare time, they have been suppressed so that they can continue to improve. "It seems that the opening is pretty good!" After looking around in the store, Xia Yu said with satisfaction. When Ma Tengdong heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Yes, it is mainly your credit, the boss. The cos activities are too attractive to customers. Many people didn''t want to buy them. They came in and bought them after watching the fun." Xia Yu smiled when he heard the words. The experience of later generations has long proved that this method is very effective. Passenger flow is money. The first time it appeared in Xiangjiang, can it still attract attention? "Is the TV guy coming?" Xia Yu asked Ma Tengdong. Making full use of internal resources is Xia Yu''s consistent thinking. Since he has a TV station, how can he not use it to promote it? The opening ceremony of the "House of Manke" has lasted for three days, and the exhibition also lasts for three days. As long as the TV station broadcasts the picture today, the traffic will be even greater in the next two days. At the same time, the house of Manke ''The reputation will also be beaten out. For Li''s TV station, it is also good. After all, this kind of first appearance in Xiangjiang is a novelty for Xiangjiang people. It is also a big news, and it can also increase the ratings. "The boss ~ www.novelhall.com~ they are here, they were interviewing in the store before, now they should interview passers-by on that street, oh, there." Ma Tengdong said, looking for a while, and finally saw the reporter from the TV station through the glass wall on the side. He immediately gave instructions to Xia Yu. Xia Yu looked over and saw that the reporter carrying the camera was interviewing a woman holding a child. Xia Yu nodded slightly and then retracted his gaze, and said to Ma Tengdong: "Take a count today, and make a report on the opening of the ten flagship stores tomorrow, and then count again in three days." "And we must arrange for specialized personnel to do a statistical analysis, which types of products are more popular, and what opinions customers have, we must do a good job of collecting, and then you can adjust the production and sales of the toy factory based on the feedback." "Ok!" Ma Tengdong said respectfully, and took out a pen and paper to quickly record it. After that, Xia Yu accompanied Li Qian again and left the flagship store of Mankezhi. Chapter 318: Another hen laying golden eggs ? Early the next morning, Ma Tengdong presented yesterday''s sales to Xia Yu, which he arranged for someone to do overnight. Xia Yu took the watch and looked at it, suddenly showing a satisfied smile, which made Ma Tengdong, who had been following Xia Yu''s every move, completely relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. "It seems that the boss is satisfied with the result." Xia Yu is really satisfied! Yesterday ten flagship stores opened at the same time. The total turnover of the ten stores was 334,000 Hong Kong dollars after conversion into Hong Kong dollars, and the average revenue per store was 33,400. However, among these ten stores, the one with the most turnover is the island country store, with turnover converted to HKD 49,000. And among the top five stores in terms of turnover, the island country¡¯s three stores accounted for the first, third, and fourth respectively, and the No. 1 store in Jiulong ranked second. It can be analyzed from this that the island people¡¯s acceptance of peripheral products and their desire to buy are higher. But this is also normal. After all, the comic market in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and many places in Southeast Asia together is not as good as the island market, and the sales volume of "Zhiyin Manke" is the highest in the island country, and the number of fans is also more. There are more customers for peripheral products. The turnover of 334,000 Hong Kong dollars, although because it was the first day of opening, the discount was very strong, which made the profit compressed, but the peripheral products were originally sold with feelings, so the profit was particularly high. Even if the discount is strong, it is excluded from buying In addition to hardware costs such as stores and shelves, there is still a 50% gross profit. In other words, today, ten flagship stores have created a gross profit of HK$167,000 for Xia Yu. And this is the first day, and the turnover in the next few days will definitely be higher. Because in Xiangjiang, Li¡¯s TV station had already broadcast the news about ¡®House of Manke¡¯ yesterday, and there was also a section of advertisements placed in the columns that children like to watch. I believe it will definitely attract a large number of traffic. In addition to Xiangjiang, there are also different marketing methods in Taiwan, Longmen, Singapore and island countries. For this kind of money, Xia Yu is very willing to spend. Any business needs to invest in passenger flow costs. Otherwise, what is the use of advertising in this world? Sure enough, as Xia Yu expected, the total turnover of the ten stores was getting higher day by day in the next two days. The next day, there was a sharp increase, reaching 458,000 Hong Kong dollars. On the third day, it directly broke through the threshold of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars and reached 515,000 Hong Kong dollars. The accumulated turnover in the three days was 1.307 million Hong Kong dollars, and the gross profit reached 660,000 Hong Kong dollars. In three days, each store created an average of 66,000 gross profit. This achievement is definitely considered a good achievement for the retail industry of this era. However, Xia Yu also considered that with the passage of time, the turnover will continue to decline, and then stabilize at a value, and then as the market continues to expand, and the influence and popularity of "Zhiyin Manke" continue to increase again. rising. Of course, with such a long year, there will definitely be continuous activities during this period, not only to increase revenue, but also to expand popularity through activities. Every activity can be regarded as a means of fame and fortune. According to Xia Yu''s estimation, as long as no mistakes are made, a flagship store can achieve at least 400,000 Hong Kong dollars in monthly revenue, and at least 4 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue from ten stores, and its annual turnover can reach 50 million Hong Kong dollars or more. Even if the 50% low gross profit during the event is used, there can be a gross profit of more than 25 million yuan. Excluding administrative management, marketing, taxation, etc., a net profit of 15 million a year is absolutely no problem. How could Xia Yu be unhappy with a hen that can lay golden eggs properly? "Tengdong, can the production capacity keep up now?" Xia Yu put down the summary sheet, raised Erlang''s legs, and happily asked Ma Tengdong who was sitting opposite. Ma Tengdong smiled and nodded: "Boss, I can keep up. It has only reached about 50% of the normal production capacity. If it runs three shifts with high intensity, the production capacity can be several times higher." Xia Yu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to work in three shifts, just normal operation. The toy factory is our supporting factory. Its main function is to reduce costs and ensure quality. It is not expected to make much profit. The focus is on quality! The reputation is very good. Important!" "I understand that products can only be the long-lasting magic weapon for an enterprise, and I will take it seriously!" Ma Tengdong nodded solemnly. "You also know the profits of the surrounding flagship stores. Now is the time to start expanding. The more stores expand, the more money they can make, they can also feed back "Military Manke." Xia Yu continued. "Good boss, I will focus on managing our surrounding flagship stores!" Ma Tengdong assured that he would be very active without Xia Yu reminding him, after all, the benefits of the surrounding flagship stores are too great. Needless to say, the super high profits can be seen at a glance. Besides, there are many hidden benefits. Ma Tengdong was not blinded by money. He knew in his heart that comics were the root of everything. Why do customers buy peripheral products? Some are loyal fans of comics, and some are passersby fans. At least they must have a certain understanding of comics, and the last part is the masses who follow suit. But why should the masses follow suit? Isn''t it because many people are chasing after them that they will recognize these peripheral products? But where does the influence of peripheral products come from? It is given by comics, and the influence of comics is large enough to drive the sales of peripheral products. Without comics as a carrier, even if some peripheral products can fire, they can only be fired for a short period of time, and then the sound will disappear. For this reason, the most important thing is to do a good job of comics and manage the "Military Manke" magazine. The higher the sales of "Mtlnovel Manke" The greater the influence, the greater the number of fans. More, the purchasing power from conversion will be stronger, and the surrounding flagship stores do not need to advertise, and the turnover will naturally rise. The surrounding flagship stores can play a role in stabilizing influence. A flagship store of ¡®Manke¡¯s Home¡¯ is like a beacon, with lights radiating an area. It is also like a bunker. As long as it is there, "Milk Manke" will have the strongest supply station and position. It can be attacked, retreated and defended. It can quickly settle and stabilize the influence of "Milk Manke". , And accelerate the spread of radiation around. As long as there is a flagship store of "Home of Manke" in an area, even if there is a rival in the future, "Mike Zhiyin" will remain invincible, and it will be able to maintain a certain market share no matter what. In addition, it is the issue of the right to speak in the distribution network as mentioned before. With its own distribution network, those channel merchants will also have scruples in their actions, and Xia Yu''s company will have greater initiative in the hands. Therefore, the advantages of flagship stores around the ¡®Manke¡¯s Home¡¯ are very great, and Ma Tengdong, of course, has to manage it carefully. Chapter 319: Heavy news ? "By the way, boss, I have one thing to report to you!" Suddenly thinking of something, Ma Tengdong said with a look of embarrassment. Xia Yu raised his brows and said, "Let''s talk, what''s the matter." "It''s about Rubik''s Cube. According to your request, I put Rubik''s Cube for sale in our flagship store. The situation is not so good." Xia Yu didn''t take it seriously, but rather curiously chuckled and asked, "How many sales are there?" "In three days, a total of 365 low-end Rubik''s Cubes were sold, 34 mid-range Rubik''s Cubes were sold, and only 15 high-end Rubik''s Cubes were sold." Ma Tengdong said awkwardly, this data made his face hot. High, middle and low third gears add up to only 414. You know, this is the total sales of ten stores in three days. On average, each store sells 14 Rubik''s Cubes every day. This is the sales only when opening. , It is conceivable that sales may decline afterwards. But he also knows that Rubik''s Cube is a toy that the boss has high hopes for. Now he is still applying for patents all over the world, and he has set up a research laboratory to research and develop. But the current sales make his face dull! There is a sense of shame to see him. Seeing Ma Tengdong''s guilt, Xia Yu laughed and said, "I can''t imagine that we can sell more than 400 now, which is not bad. You don''t need to blame yourself. This is expected." Without any advertising and publicity, Rubik''s Cube can be sold. As Xia Yu¡¯s most important toy, how could Rubik''s Cube let it go? As for the marketing plan of Rubik''s Cube, he had a clear idea for a long time. The first key issue is that the Rubik''s Cube has not yet been applied for worldwide patents. Although the speed has been accelerated, it will still take some time. If he sells the Rubik''s Cube and makes the big players in the toy industry catch his attention, it is very likely that he wants to stumble him and preempt the patent. Secondly, a very important marketing tool needs the help of a TV station, but now Li''s TV station is not yet exposed, so Xia Yu can only wrong the Rubik''s Cube for a while. Now let the Rubik''s Cube slowly be sold out, like a spark of fire, spread all over the place, and let it ferment. At that time, as long as one shareholder winds up, it can instantly form a prairie fire. Let it gain momentum now! And it''s not that Xia Yu is really indifferent to the Rubik''s Cube, he still has a way to speed up the Rubik''s Cube''s accumulation process, and it definitely works. Don''t forget that he now has a nearby flagship store, and the Rubik''s Cube is sold in nearby flagship stores. "Tengdong, you insert the Rubik''s Cube into the "Dragon Ball" comic." Xia Yu said with a smile. Ma Tengdong''s eyes lit up. This is indeed a good method, but the question is how to insert it? Ma Tengdong showed an inquiring expression and said, "Boss, how do you think it is appropriate to insert? I can''t think of it temporarily. "I watched the progress of the serialization now. Didn''t Monkey King have not climbed the Kalin Tower to the temple? According to the previous plot, Monkey King wants to practice in the temple, mainly to improve his combat power. You can let someone insert a plot." "God took out a Wisdom Rubik''s Cube from the Wisdom Planet to train Monkey King¡¯s wisdom and mental power. How to conceive the training plot specifically, you arrange for the people below to do it. Anyway, I just ask that playing Rubik¡¯s Cube can exercise the human brain. , It is helpful to the development of people¡¯s intelligence, and allows readers to form an idea that the Rubik¡¯s Cube is an educational toy!" After listening to Xia Yu''s account, Ma Tengdong was already dumbfounded. Can he do this? Ma Tengdong''s performance made Xia Yu happy, and it''s not in vain that he bothered to think about a good idea. "What do you think of this idea?" Xia Yu said with a smile, awakening Ma Tengdong. Ma Tengdong showed admiration and said with emotion: "Boss, your idea is great. I believe that as long as you insert this kind of plot, when the comics come out, it will definitely cause the Rubik''s Cube sales boom." Ma Tengdong is not flattering, but this is his heartfelt truth. As long as you give readers such a concept, and then learn that there is a Rubik''s Cube in the House of Manke, out of curiosity, many readers will buy it for fun. And as soon as the concept of educational toys comes out, those children can confidently ask their parents to buy them the Rubik''s Cube. Whether they really want to try it or not to discourage their children¡¯s aggressiveness, parents cannot refuse this kind of request. , How about spending five dollars to try? What if it really works? Therefore, even if it has not been implemented yet, Ma Tengdongguang can determine that the sale of Rubik''s Cube will definitely be opened based on common sense. And he will not feel guilty, because the Rubik''s Cube is indeed an educational toy, which is good for the child''s physical and mental development. This is confirmed after discussion by experts and professors. It can exercise at least seven human abilities, such as eyesight, endurance, hand power, memory, spatial judgment, attention and nerve response speed. In addition, it also allows the person who plays Rubik''s Cube to constantly challenge himself and unknowingly affect his character and will. The outsiders don¡¯t know this now, but Xia Yu has already planned to invite those experts and professors to the TV station to express authoritative opinions, and write a few authoritative articles and publish them in the newspaper. The sales of Rubik¡¯s Cube will never be used. worry. No, at that time Xia Yu would only worry about the production capacity of the toy factory not keeping up! "You should arrange it as soon as possible, the plot should be reasonable, and arouse readers'' curiosity as much as possible, understand? Xia Yu exhorted again. "understand!" Ma Tengdong nodded heavily. ... After returning to the general office, Yan Wenhan came to Xia Yu happily. "Boss, good thing!" Yan Wenhan said happily, the smile on his face couldn''t hide. Xia Yu suddenly became curious, and asked Yan Wenhan to sit down and say, "Sit down and speak slowly." "thank you boss!" "Boss, it''s Sing Tao News Group''s business. I got news that Sing Tao News Group can''t stand the pressure. Hu Xian wants to sell the company." Yan Wenhan directly uttered a heavy news, which caused waves of Xia Yu''s calm heart. Xia Yu''s eyes became deep looking straight at Yan Wenhan and asked: "Is the situation so serious?" After the sales fraud was exposed, Sing Tao News Group was pushed to the forefront. Then, driven by the people, the Hong Kong government could only come forward to stop Sing Tao News Group for rectification. After that, Xia Yu ignored it, because Sing Tao News Group had no threats, so why waste his mind? It¡¯s just that Hu Xian, who has always been strong, would actually sell the company, which proves that the situation of Sing Tao News Group is worse than it appears. It stands to reason that Sing Tao News Group has a big business, and the foundation and contacts accumulated over decades must still be there, and it is impossible to get to this point. unless¡­¡­ Someone was thinking about it and forced Hu Xian to go to nowhere. The two powers were harmed, whichever was less, and made the decision to sell the company. So who will it be? I don''t know if Yan Wenhan knows. After thinking about it, Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan. Chapter 320: Buy Sing Tao News Corporation? ? "Yes, the boss, Sing Tao News Corporation''s crisis is very serious, and it has reached the point of life and death." Yan Wenhan smiled and said solemnly. Seeing the boss Xia Yu''s expression become serious, Yan Wenhan continued to tell what he knew. "The most fundamental problem facing Sing Tao News Group is lack of money. The resulting series of situations can also be summarized in three aspects." "The first is the debt collection by the bank. Now the bank account has been frozen. I heard that Sing Tao News Group has taken loans from multiple banks. The largest one is from Hong Kong Commercial Bank, with a loan of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Now many banks Come to ask for money." "The second is that there are many advertisers claiming that because of sales fraud, fraud has been involved. Many advertisers have sent people to guard the downstairs of Sing Tao News Group, asking them to return the advertising money privately, and even more demanding Star Island News Corporation doubled the compensation, otherwise it will be brought to court on charges of commercial fraud." "The last point is also the most serious. Sing Tao News Group is still in a state of suspending business for rectification. All its employees are closed. Now their accounts are frozen and their salaries are no longer available. The employees are already restless. According to the current situation, I want to The reopening will not solve the problems of advertisers and banks. Even if the Hong Kong government let it go, it is estimated that it will be nowhere in sight." "So now it has become a deadlock. The only way to survive is to immediately spend money to solve the problems of advertisers and banks, so that we can find a way to resume publication." "But in the current situation of Sing Tao News Group, no one would dare to lend to Hu Xian, that''s why she thought of selling the company to get away. Otherwise, not only would the company go bankrupt if it dragged on, but Hu Xian would even face jail. " After listening to Yan Wenhan''s words, Xia Yu''s eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and his eyebrows contemplated. According to Yan Wenhan''s words, Sing Tao News Group''s life is really difficult. To put it bluntly, it''s a matter of life and death. If you don''t spend money to solve the problem, you will never see the hope of re-publishing, and there is no way to pay employees'' salaries. If you still do not see the hope, the employees will definitely leave. But as soon as an employee resigns and the team disperses, the game will be completely finished, and it will be useless to spend money. Therefore, as Yan Wenhan said, Hu Xian''s only way is to pay the money back to the bank immediately, then solve the advertiser''s problem, and finally find a way to resume publication of his newspapers and continue to make money. But here comes the problem again! Even if its newspapers resume publication, with Sing Tao News Group¡¯s black history of falsifying sales, which advertiser would dare to advertise? And also consider the possibility of a sharp drop in sales at that time! There is no advertising revenue, sales are declining, and the company has to spend on operations. What kind of money can you make just by selling newspapers? Hu Xian''s ability to be ordinary! Therefore, even if it resumes publication at that time, the value of Sing Tao News Group will be greatly reduced. It is not bad to survive. If you want to stand up, you don''t know how long it will be! "Bankruptcy and jail with two knives hanging above his head, Hu Xian thought of selling the company, it is really possible!" Xia Yu thought to himself. Find a strong buyer, and at the same time transfer all the risks and debts to the new boss, and get a sum of money by the way. This is very different from bankruptcy and prison! Of course, the premise is that Hu Xian can find someone who has the strength and is willing to take this risk to take over the company! And Xia Yu can say unceremoniously that he has this ability and strength! If Sing Tao News Group can be acquired, then... Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes. "Did Sing Tao News Corporation release this news on its own initiative, or did you send someone to secretly inquire about it?" Xia Yu asked seriously, he had to figure this out before he could make correct thinking and judgments. Yan Wenhan was taken aback, frowned slightly for a moment and said, "It''s the news from Sing Tao News Corporation, but in my opinion, it should have been leaked on purpose." "Why do you think so?" Xia Yu asked. "Because I also got a gossip. I heard that Hu Xian was furious at the company and cursed the British. It must have been a British man behind the scenes." "The few advertisers who were stubbornly reluctant to get private were instigated by the British, unless she sold the company, but I heard that the price was too low and Hu Xian was unwilling to sell." "So I guess it was Hu Xian''s deliberate release of the news. It was either to take the opportunity to attract more buyers, or new buyers to pay high prices, or to force the British to pay high prices." Yan Wenhan said with a serious expression, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Yu, waiting for the boss''s order. Xia Yu frowned slightly and his brain quickly turned. "British?" "It''s very possible for a British guy to fall into the pit and take advantage of the fire to rob him, but who the **** is it? To force such an arrogant person as Hu Xian to bow his head and only secretly spread the news. There are so many powerful British people, who is it? " "Wenhan, do you know who wants to take advantage of the fire?" Xia Yu asked. "I don''t know this, but I have sent someone to inquire before I came here, I don''t know if I can inquire about it." Yan Wenhan said truthfully. Xia Yu nodded slightly and didn''t ask much. He condensed his eyebrows and thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it doesn''t matter who it is. The important thing is that we must find a way to buy Sing Tao News Group." "Buy it?" Yan Wenhan''s eyes stared in surprise, he really didn''t expect to buy it. As soon as he got the news, he had an idea in his mind. Sing Tao News Group had no threats. Jiuding News Corporation''s dominance was completely stabilized. In the future, the media industry will be the world of Jiuding News Corporation. He never thought that it was because he thought it was not worth it, and the risk of buying it was too high. In the case of Jiuding Newspaper Company, there is no need to buy it. Besides, even if Jiuding Newspaper Company wants to buy it, it is hard to say whether Hu Xian is willing to sell it! To know that Sing Tao News Group has come to the present stage and trace the root cause, it is still to blame on Jiuding Newspaper Company. The two sides are rivals. It is estimated that Hu Xian will not sell to Jiuding Newspaper Company. "Boss, is it possible to buy this? And it''s not worth it? The price should be high." Yan Wenhan asked puzzledly. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth curled up and said, "How can I know if I don''t try? What if it''s possible?" "As for whether it is worth it or not, as long as it is in our hands, it is worth it. The price is only known after we talk about it. Xia Yu really wants to buy Sing Tao News Group. High cost? The price is cut to reasonable! High risk? It varies from person to person. It is a huge risk for Hu Xian. Putting it on Xia Yu is a pediatrics, and he can easily resolve it! Moreover, Sing Tao News Corporation is better than others in his hands. At least the potential threat will disappear and its own strength can be enhanced. Even if "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" are homogenized with the newspapers of Jiuding News, Xia Yu has some ways to rectify it. With such a large media market, Hong Kong has to accommodate one or two hundred newspapers. There are more newspapers that are homogenous with the newspapers of Jiuding News, but what can be done? As long as the quality of the newspaper is improved, the positioning is well done, and the market for other newspapers can be snatched over. Or is the newspaper revised to avoid homogenous competition with other newspapers under the Jiuding Newspaper Company, and can not beat Jiuding Daily and Fengyun Daily, or other newspapers? With Jiuding News Agency in hand, Xia Yu has no worries about not having high-quality news to publish, only that there are not enough newspapers in his hand and not enough pages to report all the news! "Then boss, I''ll try it right away." Seeing the boss''s attitude, Yan Wenhan nodded in agreement despite his doubts. After a while, Yan Wenhan went out full of thoughts. When the morning was about to pass, Yan Wenhan came to the office again, his eyes still had an incredible look. "Boss, I went to test Hu Xian, but I didn''t expect that she didn''t refuse but said she wanted to meet you." Yan Wenhanhui reports. If there is no rejection, it is possible, and if you want to meet the boss Xia Yu, the hope is even greater. As long as the negotiation is good, it is really possible to buy. The specific situation at that time depends on the boss''s methods! "see me?" "No problem, promise her, and the location and time are up to her." The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved, and she said relaxedly, let Hu Xian decide the time and place, she would definitely feel Xia Yu''s kindness, even if she was angry, she would be able to eliminate some of it by then, which would be more beneficial to the negotiation. "Okay, I will reply to her immediately!" Yan Wenhan nodded heavily and said. "Go, hurry up!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Chapter 321: Charles is proud of spring breeze ?Jin Wuxi falls and the jade rabbit rises eastward, and the prosperous Xiangjiang is dotted with colorful lights. In a luxurious hotel, a group of young British people are enjoying a luxurious and luxurious dinner. A gathering is held here, almost every once in a while. The participants are young people from Hong Kong''s British-owned enterprises and consortiums who use this platform to communicate and cooperate with each other. There were many small groups in the venue, and many young people with weaker families consciously surrounded the heirs of the big consortium. For example, Hutchison¡¯s Keswick family, Jardine¡¯s Keswick family, Swire¡¯s Shi Yahuai family, Wheelock¡¯s Madden family and other large consortium families are surrounded by many people. "Charles, why didn''t your brother come?" Just as Charles Keswick was surrounded by people, a young man older than him came over with a red wine glass and asked. Charles Keswick, who was originally on Xing''s head, saw the people coming, and a haze flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Cory, I don''t know where he has gone, maybe something is wrong!" "Oh, I see!" The visitor said with a faint smile, giving people a sense of no hurry. The person here is no one else, but Corey Shiyahuai, the first in line heir to the Shi Yahuai family of the Swire Consortium. Even though the Swire consortium is inferior to the Jardine consortium, Charles Keswick is just the second-in-line heir to the family, and Corey is the first-in-line heir to the Swire consortium, and his strength and status are higher than him. So even if I felt a little unhappy at Corey Shiyahuai mentioning his brother, Charles could only bear with pretending not to care. "By the way, Charles, I heard that your family has entrusted Jardine Insurance Consulting Group to you? Congratulations!" Corey Shiya said with a smile. Charles Keswick''s unhappiness swept away when he heard the words, his smile couldn''t be concealed, but he said modestly: "It''s not to be taken care of by me. I''m just one of the directors. It''s not a good idea." Corey Shiya smiled and didn''t say much. As the heir to the big consortium, how could he not know the mystery? He came here too! The selection of heirs in a large family is very strict and cautious, and we must constantly observe the various abilities of our children. Therefore, the candidates for the family heir will be placed in the subordinate companies to experience. Of course, it is impossible to be the president of a large company at once, but to give a mid-to-high position, and then let them develop on their own. Because there are still people pressing on their heads, they cannot do whatever they want, and their rights are restricted, which can ensure that the company will not be seriously badly affected. But the status will not be low, with certain rights and space to display their talents, and then rely on their talents to conquer other people in the company, and then step by step. Although Charles is only serving as the director of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, there are other board members on par with him, but as long as he has the ability and proves himself, the Keswick family will let him serve as the president. resistance. "By the way, Charles, I heard that you want to get involved in the media industry? That upstart kid is jumping around in Xiangjiang, both financial and media. Are you confident that you can push him down?" Corey Shiya smiled at the corner of his mouth and said suddenly, but the smile was a little bit of inquisitiveness. When the people around Charles heard the conversation between Charles and Corey, the voice of the conversation was immediately stressed, and their ears were pricked up. There seems to be some great news! Charles actually wants to get involved in the media industry. Does the Keswick family mean or just his? Could it be that the Jardine consortium wants to target the newly emerging Chinese upstart? The reaction of the people around was caught by Charles Keswick, and a haze flashed in his heart, and his plan was leaked before it succeeded! Charles Keswick was not surprised by Corey¡¯s knowledge of the news. Xiangjiang said that he was not small, but that he was not big. Moreover, he did not deliberately hide his actions. Corey Shiyahuai knew that he was going to hit Star Island. News Corp¡¯s idea is also normal. It''s just that Corey''s plan to influence him and the mention of Xia Yu made Charles feel upset. Of course he heard the underlying meaning of Corey''s words, saying that he was following the path of Xia Yu, an upstart. At their gatherings, Xia Yu''s name appeared many times. When they talked, it was easy to talk about Xia Yu. Everyone was envious and jealous, and even many people became greedy. But after they thought carefully, they found that greed was useless, and they couldn''t eat Xia Yu. The media and securities industries are very special. Even though their family power and resources are large, these two industries are not useful by spending money. Ability is the most critical. These big families are mainly involved in industries related to people''s livelihood, such as electricity, machinery, energy, transportation, real estate, and other industries related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation. They rarely get involved in the media industry. Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to target Jiuding Newspaper Company, which has become an established trend. As for the securities industry, taking into account Xia Yu''s ability, Jiuding Securities could not help it. On the contrary, Xia Yu didn''t take the initiative to trouble them and burned the fragrance. After analyzing and analyzing, they found that Xia Yu was like a lion in a hedgehog skin, not only had great destructive power, but also had a strong defense force. Those who are stronger than Xia Yu are unwilling to confront him, and those who are stronger than Xia Yu dare not provoke him, worrying about being targeted by Xia Yu. Later, as time passed, and witnessed Xia Yu''s rapid growth, everyone was more cautious, but some people changed their thinking direction and kept studying Xia Yu, wanting to learn something. And Charles is like that. He wanted to follow Xia Yu''s path when he couldn''t swallow Xia Yu. With the Jardine Consortium as the backer, it wouldn''t be much worse! Especially after he joined the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, he immediately became active. When he discovered that Sing Tao Newspaper Company had fallen, he thought about bringing it over, and then using the power of the media to develop an insurance company. On the surface, the insurance industry only takes the difference between insurance and compensation, but in fact it is not at all! An important source of income for insurance companies is to deposit investment profits. Insurance companies can also use the money of the insured to invest! Just buy stocks! And Charles happens to be in charge of capital investment! As long as he has the media weapon, and with the strength of Jardine, it is easy to secretly manipulate the stock price. Even if his ability is not as good as Xia Yu, Charles is confident that he can make a lot of profits. At that time, he will be able to develop both finance and media, and relying on the resources of the Jardine Consortium, he will definitely flourish! "Corey, nothing is impossible, what do you say?" Charles narrowed his smile and asked back. "Yes, so I wish you success, because I don''t like that upstart either." Corey Shiya said with a light smile. Afterwards, Corey Shiyahuai and Charles Keswick touched a glass and took a sip of red wine, and then walked to other places. When Corey Shiyahuai left, the atmosphere in this small circle suddenly became warmer, and the heat was even higher than before. "Charles I didn''t expect that you are now running a big company called Jardine Insurance. It happens that our company intends to buy insurance for employees of the company. I wonder if there is a chance to cooperate with you?" "Master Charles, our company also wants to cooperate with you..." ... A group of people gathered around Charles, throwing out all kinds of flattery for money, and also took the opportunity to offer cooperation in order to get closer to Charles. Charles talked to them with a smile on his face, but secretly decided in his heart that now that the news has leaked out, many people will soon know his idea of ??hitting Sing Tao News Corporation. To be on the safe side, he should take it down as soon as possible. "It seems that we will continue to put pressure on tomorrow and strive to take Sing Tao News Group." It''s a pity that Charles Keswick was too happy to be too early. Even if he pinches Sing Tao News Corp''s culprit, it does not mean that Sing Tao News Corp is in his pocket! Because just as the meeting of the second generation in Britain was held, an unusual meeting began. Chapter 322: 3 questions ?In an elegantly decorated tea house, melodious light music is played, the lighting is soft, and the whole scene gives a sense of tranquility and serenity, so that guests who are exhausted after a busy day can completely relax. At this time, in a box inside the teahouse, Xia Yu and Hu Xian were sitting face to face, the atmosphere in the air was a bit strange. Looking at the gentle young man with a smile on his face, Hu Xian was a little lost. After returning to his senses, he lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in front of him in a daze. In a complex mood, she suddenly didn''t know what to say to Xia Yu. In fact, more than Hu Xian, Xia Yu with a smile on his face was also full of emotion. After coming in just now, they just asked each other politely and didn''t say anything. It''s not that Xia Yu didn''t want to say, but after seeing Hu Xian, Xia Yu couldn''t say anything for a while. What is your way? It''s just because Hu Xian''s condition is really bad, even though she has obviously been dressed up, she still can''t hide her bad condition. His face is haggard and yellow, his eyes are bloodshot, his lips are white and bloodless, and the fatigue between his eyebrows is undoubtedly revealed. This is obviously a bad state of excessive stress and exhaustion. Hu Xian was originally a strong woman, and the appearance in front of the public was basically a capable, strong, and decisive image. But now that the contrast is so great, one can imagine how much pain and pressure Hu Xian has experienced during this time! This is the first time Xia Yu and Hu Xian meet, but this is the case unexpectedly. This is a bit beyond Xia Yu''s expectation, so when I feel it, I don''t know how to speak. However, Xia Yu changed his mind and understood Hu Xian¡¯s state. Judging from what happened during this period, bank debt collection, bankruptcy, and even prison disaster, etc., let alone she is just a woman, even after experiencing The overbearing president of ups and downs can''t hold it! She hasn''t collapsed yet, she is already very capable! After Xia Yu waited with kindness, Hu Xian slowly recovered his calmness and found some state. Seeing this, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Ms. Hu, we have been friends with each other for a long time, and we finally have the honor to meet you tonight." Hu Xian smiled and shook his head, seemingly self-deprecating: "I should be lucky enough to meet Xia Sheng. Xia Sheng is young and promising, busy with work, and precious time. It''s not like I can only linger, huh..." Xia Yu frowned slightly and then stretched out. He felt the resentment in Hu Xian''s words, and he obviously had great opinions on him. This won''t work, and it won''t be good for the following discussions if it doesn''t resolve her grievances. "Ms. Hu joked, who doesn''t know that you are a woman and shaved eyebrows. In the business of Hong Kong, you are second to none when it comes to strong women, so why bother to say such things!" Xia Yu said softly. Hu Xian laughed at himself and suddenly said, "Xia Sheng, we don''t have to say anything unrelated. Do you think it''s possible to buy my company?" "Is it possible that you will come?" Xia Yu secretly said, of course, it is impossible to say this, otherwise Hu Xian would definitely face black. "Ms. Hu, there is nothing impossible in the world, right?" Xia Yu said with a smile. "But everyone knows why my company has come to this point. I thought that many people would come to ask me, but I didn''t expect you to come here!" Hu Xian stared straight at Xia Yu and said, the meaning in the words was obvious. If it weren''t for Xia Yu, she wouldn''t have come this far. She didn''t plan to sell the company to Xia Yu in the first place. "Ms. Hu, we were able to be friends at the beginning, and of course we can be friends now. Of course, before the fall of the "Oriental Daily", we were in the same camp." Xia Yu said with a smile, Hu Xian''s face changed slightly and his mood was complicated. Indeed, Hu Xian was very happy when Jiuding Newspaper Company targeted the "Oriental Daily". After the "Oriental Daily" fell, Hu Xian was happy for several days. She couldn''t help but want to thank Xia Yu. Who knows how things have changed in the world? Xia Yu smiled and said softly: "Ms. Hu, can I take the liberty to ask you a few questions?" "Excuse me!" Hu Xian said with a please gesture. "First, as a competitor, it is inevitable that we are competitive, but besides normal business competition, do we use other means?" "Second, if you sell the company to other people, who is able to take over the whole Xiangjiang? Who dares to take it? And can solve the trouble for you? If you sell it to the British, would your father be willing to see it? " "Third, according to the current situation of your company, who in the whole Xiangjiang has the ability to keep it and still have the opportunity to develop it again?" Xia Yu finished the question in one breath, took a sip of tea, and looked at Hu Xian quietly. Xia Yu''s series of questions were like a knife, directly splitting Hu Xian''s mask, leaving Hu Xian speechless and struggling violently. Hu Xian''s changes made Xia Yu''s mouth rise. Xia Yu''s questions kept spinning in Hu Xian''s mind, and she couldn''t help but think further down. Yes, Jiuding Newspaper Company never used any of the three abuse methods for her from the beginning to the end. They were all dignified business competitions. Although there were intentions against her later, it was because she first regarded Jiuding Newspaper Company as an opponent. . Neither "Jiuding Daily" or "Fengyun Daily" was set up deliberately against her company. This is a normal business practice of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and no one has the right to interfere with the accusation, only that her company has been affected. On the contrary, she felt the crisis and pressed a huge bet to set up the Sing Tao News Agency, wanting to compete with Jiuding News Agency, but she did not expect Jiuding News Agency to take her to heart. After that, Jiuding Newspaper Company acquired four newspapers. That was a normal business practice. Even if it meant to target her, it was because she set up the Sing Tao News Agency to maliciously target the previous but it was her problem. . The key to the final landing was that she risked fraudulent sales. This was a choice she made herself. The evil results broke out and she couldn''t blame others at all, but she could only blame herself for why her mind went wrong in the first place. So she couldn''t blame Xia Yu at all! As for Xia Yu''s second and third questions, Hu Xian was speechless. Her family knows her own affairs, although she insists that no one wants her company, but the actual situation is definitely not many people dare to take over, and not many people have the ability to take over. The people of Yihe pinched her neck and threatened her, wanting her to sell the company at a low price, which is impossible! Not to mention being able to bear this anger, the key is that she can''t forget the will of her father Hu Wenhu, why did the "English Standard"? Isn¡¯t it just competing with the South China Morning Post? If her father was alive, she would never sell the company to the British! So she was unwilling, and only then released the news to the outside world, wanting to find someone who can withstand the pressure of Yihe and help her take over. Chapter 323: Sing Tao News Group got it In addition, looking at Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, the only person in front of him who has the ability to save Sing Tao News Corporation and once again let "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" develop. If the company and newspapers were to die out, Hu Xian would have no face to face his father under Jiuquan! After thinking about it, Hu Xian sullenly discovered that, despite the prejudices in his happiness, Xia Yu was really the most suitable target for acquiring the company! "Forget it, winners and losers, shopping malls are like battlefields. If you lose, you lose. Give up!" Hu Xian sighed inwardly. After thinking about it, Hu Xian slowly raised his head and looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately refreshed and realized that the critical time had come. "Xia Sheng, it''s not impossible to sell the company to you, but I have a few conditions. As long as you can do it, everything is easy to say!" Hu Xian pursed his mouth, sighed, and said slowly. Xia Yu made a please gesture and said, "Please speak!" "Let me tell you about the current situation." "My company''s account has been frozen by the bank, and now it still owes the bank a debt of 23 million yuan. In addition, the amount of compensation requested by advertisers totals about 7 million yuan. In addition, several advertisers have been He consortium¡¯s instigation threatened me to go to court, while the people at Jardine wanted to buy my company at a very low price, otherwise they would use means to make my company rectify indefinitely and drag it to bankruptcy. I''m in jail..." Hu Xian said with a melancholy face, and did not hide from Xia Yu. Xia Yu frowned. He didn''t expect the situation to be so serious, and the lingering power of Yihe was actually involved. But he didn''t persuade Yihe either. Hu Xian felt that the problem was already very serious, but Xia Yu didn''t think it was too troublesome, so he still wanted to buy Sing Tao News Group. In other words, he wants to buy it even more because he does not want Sing Tao News Group to fall into the hands of the Jardine Consortium, otherwise it will be the most troublesome for him, because the uncertainty will become bigger. With the resources of the Jardine Consortium, it is not impossible to build Sing Tao News Group. At that time, his dominance of Jiuding News will be challenged. It must be stopped, and Sing Tao News Group must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Jardine Consortium! Xia Yu thought in his heart and solemnly made a gesture and said, "Ms. Hu, I already understand the situation. I don''t know what your conditions are?" Hu Xian''s eyes lit up, and she didn''t expect Xia Yu to still want it after knowing the situation, and her heart slowly became active. "I don''t have many requirements. First, if I sell the company to you, you must do your best to keep the company and the newspaper, and develop it equally with your other newspapers." Hu Xian said. "No problem, I can''t waste money. For my newspapers, the resources are universal, and I will definitely do my best to develop "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard." Xia Yu fully agreed that this condition can be agreed without even considering it, Hu Xian is completely thinking too much! Hu Xian nodded and continued: "Secondly, Yihe is eyeing my company. If I sell the company to you, you will take over all the troubles now, and you have to withstand the pressure of Yihe. Keep it, if I still fall into prison, you have to give out 5 million to my family! This clause must be written into the contract!" After Hu Xian finished speaking, he stared at Xia Yu steadily. Xia Yu frowned, looked at Hu Xian for a few seconds, and slowly nodded and said, "Yes, I agree!" Hu Xian''s second request made it clear that he should rescue her. If he couldn''t save her, he would give him five million to his family, which was obviously forcing Xia Yu to do his best. Hu Xian was completely overly concerned. Even if he did not mention the five million, he would do his best to do it as long as he agreed. In Hu Xian''s eyes, she faced a lot of trouble, but in Xia Yu''s view, There is no way. What is the company''s high debt? As long as he takes over, he will not believe that the bank will not run immediately. Even if the bank does not run, he can easily take out the debt of 23 million yuan. This trouble can be completely ignored. Advertisers want compensation? That''s simple, isn''t it about 7 million? The big deal is to give it, or not to pay, to give these advertisers a second choice, to compensate them with the same value of advertising space in other newspapers under Xia Yu, Xia Yu believes that those advertisers will definitely be willing to accept it. Are those advertisers really short of money? Do not! It''s not lack of money at all! If they are short of money, they will not come to advertise. What they need is a good advertising effect to promote their products! Now Jiuding Newspaper is the hegemon of the media industry, and the advertisers that it cooperates with are the top ones. Only those companies that can¡¯t grab an ad space will retreat to look for other newspapers. The advertisers of newspapers under Sing Tao News Group are those Companies that can''t get the advertising space of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Now if there is a chance to win the advertising space of the newspapers of Jiuding News, even if it is not the top position, the time is not very long, but it is enough, those advertisers will definitely agree! So as long as Xia Yu buys Sing Tao News Corporation, the pressure on advertisers can be resolved instantly. As for the last one, Xia Yu is not afraid of threats by Yihe¡¯s black hands. He is also well-connected. Even if he doesn¡¯t have enough contacts, he will fight with the Yihe Consortium anyway. The big deal is that when Yihe bows his head, he treats this as one. Conditions force them to agree. So no matter what, Xia Yu has a way to deal with it. Hu Xian¡¯s problem is nothing to him! When Xia Yu agreed, Hu Xian''s heart was more than half relieved. There was no resistance in the subsequent exchanges. Xia Yu and Hu Xian set the tone for negotiations tomorrow morning. Xia Yu also asked Hu Xian to prepare all the detailed information without any errors or concealment. Hu Xian completely agreed. ... The next day, Xia Yu, Yan Wenhan and the company¡¯s legal department went to www.novelhall.com. After intense negotiations, Xia Yu finally bought Sing Tao News Group for 2 million on the condition that the talks last night Well, assume all debts, problems and risks, and ensure Hu Xian''s safety. After a series of mistakes, Sing Tao News Group¡¯s total assets are only HK$32 million, liquidity is completely gone, all liabilities add up to HK$23 million, and the company¡¯s net assets are about 9 million. But if the advertiser is compensated at least 7 million, the company''s net assets will be exactly 2 million. Xia Yu bought the company at the price of 2 million net assets, which seemed to be a bargain, but the risk was not fake. Although 2 million is very small, if the problem of Yihe is not resolved, the company will continue to rectify indefinitely, and the assets will shrink day by day, and Hu Xian will also face jail. He will pay another 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which adds up. He is likely to lose tens of millions! So considering this risk, the price of 2 million won''t look cheap! When the word was signed, Hu Xian couldn''t help but his eyes were red, and it took a long time to clear up his mood. Chapter 324: Get revenge When Hu Xian and Xia Yu and others appeared in front of Sing Tao News Group employees, all the employees put aside their work and looked at Xia Yu and others on the podium with anticipation and anxiety. Looking at the familiar faces in the audience, Hu Xian had something to say but finally turned into a sigh. She bowed deeply and apologized: "I''m sorry everyone, I am not a qualified chairman!" "From today, Sing Tao News Group will be merged into Jiuding Newspaper Company, and Xia Sheng will be your boss!" "I would like to invite Xia Sheng to speak, everyone welcome!" "Papa Papa Papa Papa..." Everyone was shocked, but the actions on their hands did not stop. Many people were still very excited and became employees of Jiuding Newspaper Company! Originally they couldn''t afford to pay their wages, and now they were served a golden rice bowl. The reversal came too fast, completely beyond their imagination! "Hello everyone, this is Xia Yu, I am glad to see you all..." When Xia Yu completed the handover, he left everything to Yan Wenhan, and he took the lead to leave. With Xia Yu''s departure, the news spread throughout Xiangjiang like a hurricane! Shocking! Jiuding News Corporation acquired the distressed Sing Tao News Group! "how is this possible?" In the Ming Pao building, Jin Yong and Pan Yuesheng stared at them with big eyes. They couldn''t believe it was true. Then, Pan Yuesheng immediately made a call. It was the office call of a friend of his senior executive at Sing Tao News Corporation. When the call hung up, Pan Yuesheng looked at Jin Yong in a daze. "Old Cha, it turned out to be true!" Jin Yong was silent for a long time, and then shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "From now on, Jiuding Newspaper Company''s dominance will be unshakable. This mountain is too big, and all of us will look up to him!" Pan Yuesheng also smiled bitterly again and again, and he was so upset that he just wanted to find a place to be quiet. "how is this possible!" "Suck...how could it be..." ... Unbelievable exclamations sounded in newspapers around Xiangjiang. All colleagues who learned of the news were shocked and expressed disbelief with this result. Sing Tao News Group was in a dilemma, and the news that Hu Xian had released the company to sell also spread throughout Xiangjiang. Many people were guessing the ending of Sing Tao News Group. After all, no one will take over the bankruptcy, or who will take over! They thought of many people, but no one thought that Jiuding Newspaper Company would take over, because this is completely impossible! There is no need for Jiuding Newspaper Company to buy, and Hu Xian shouldn''t be willing to sell it to Jiuding Newspaper Company. But it was precisely this kind of most unlikely situation that he happened to happen, which exceeded everyone''s expectations. After the shock, all colleagues were silent. The layout of the media industry is a situation of "one super, one strong and then others". Jiuding News is a super, and Sing Tao News Group before its decline is the top one. Other newspapers are considered as the third level, and the only one that can compete with Jiuding News Sing Tao News Corp. is the only company threatening. But then Sing Tao News Group was crippled by itself, and now it is annexed by the boss Jiuding Newspaper Company. As long as Sing Tao News Group completes its rectification and reforms and the newspaper resumes publication, Jiuding News will have "Fengyun Daily", "Jiuding Daily", "South China Morning Post", "Tiantian Daily", "Nanyang Commercial Daily", and "Sing Chew Daily" under its umbrella. , "Sing Tao Daily", "English Standard" and other newspapers, the combined sales of all other newspapers are estimated to be less than the sales of Jiuding Newspapers. Jiuding Newspaper Company can be said to have completed its de facto monopoly on the paper media industry. The sky of Xiangjiang has changed! Other colleagues can get the news, and Charles Keswick, who has the idea of ??Sing Tao News Group, got the news the first time. "Damn upstart, it''s totally against me, damn..." Charles Keswick changed his former handsome posture and smashed tables, stools and glasses in his office. He was really angry. He thought Sing Tao News Group was in his bag, but he didn''t expect that the duck that was about to reach his mouth would fly! His perfect plan went bankrupt in advance! And it happened to be Xia Yu, who he hated, that undermined his plan! In addition to being touted at the cocktail party last night, many people knew that he was going to acquire Sing Tao News Corporation and also knew his plan. But only one night later, he was slapped in the face. Even though there was no one in the office at this moment, Charles Keswick¡¯s face was already hot. He could fully imagine how his opponents would laugh at the news. he. And there are a series of other consequences that Charles Keswick did not want to think about, but had to consider. After the plan was announced by Corey Shiyahuai last night, the people of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group would definitely know that if he knew that his plan was forced to die before it took shape, it would be a big blow to his reputation. He has just entered the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and has no results. It was just when the new officer took office to burn three fires. Unfortunately, before the fire was burned, he was poured cold water first, and there would definitely be people laughing behind him. He, how does this make him not angry? "Damn Corey, if he hadn''t talked much last night, it wouldn''t be as bad as it is now!" "And that **** Chinese upstart kid..." Charles Keswick muttered in his mouth, his anger unquenched. "No, it caused me such a big trouble, I can''t forget it!" "Didn''t you buy Sing Tao News Group? I will let you die. If Sing Tao News Group goes bankrupt, I see what else you can get!" Charles Keswick thought, he planned to call his friends in the Hong Kong government and let him go to death to fix Sing Tao News Corporation. At the same time, he also made up his mind to let the instructing advertisers go to Sing Tao News Corporation. Sue the court and send that ignorant woman to prison! Charles Keswick thought about it and prepared to call. Just when he got to the phone before he picked up the phone, the phone rang, and Charles Keswick was taken aback. The caller ID turned out to be the internal telephone number of the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company. Charles Keswick didn''t think much, but after clearing up his emotions, he connected the phone. "What? The stock price fluctuates drastically? Someone is suspected of attacking our stock. Now we have a meeting? Okay, I''ll come right now! Charles Keswick hung up the phone, then picked up his clothes and walked out quickly. Just now he decided to put down the trouble with Sing Tao News Group. No way. Before he took up the post of director of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, he had always been the management of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company. He has been training for two years. There are already a large number of his loyal members in the company. Next, he has already regarded the Jardine Air Cargo Station as his own bag and his foundation! Now that his foundation has a problem, how can he not be anxious? "I want to see who dares to trouble our Yihe!" Chapter 325: Give the enemy 2 dollars first ? When Charles Keswick came to the company meeting room, all the top executives were already there, so he was the executive director. He nodded towards the crowd, then found his seat and sat down, looking at the chief executive Barton Harriman, who nodded towards Charles Keswick, and then looked at the others with different faces. The director swept across his face. "Time is urgent, I will simply tell you the situation." "Yesterday, our company''s stock price fell slightly, but today after the stock market opened, our company''s stock price plummeted. According to analysis, it is obvious that an institution is suppressing our company''s stock price, and the short selling momentum is very fierce. The stock price has fallen so far. At 9.6 Hong Kong dollars per share, the market value has evaporated by 20 million! Now the total market value is 480 million!" "I have sent someone to investigate the cause, I believe it will soon..." "Knock..." Barton Hardman was just halfway talking, when he suddenly remembered the knock on the door, he frowned slightly and said, "Come in!" "President, the reason has been found, it''s all here." An employee came in with some documents and newspapers, came to Barton Hardman, bent over and said, and put the documents in his hand in front of Barton Hardman. Barton Hardman''s spirits refreshed, and he didn''t have time to say anything. He immediately looked at him, and the other directors looked at him vigorously. Barton Hardman''s face became darker as he looked at him, and he said solemnly to the employees: "Go and prepare a bit more and send a copy to every director." "Ok!" After a while, the staff came in again and sent the same materials to everyone sitting there. The directors who could not wait for a long time looked through it immediately. This was unbelievable. Everyone''s expressions became serious, and Charles Keswick couldn''t help but scold his mother. "Gentlemen, we are in big trouble!" Barton Hardman said solemnly. Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the air began to become more and more depressing. "Don''t think about it, it is very likely that Jiuding Securities is doing a ghost!" Finance Director Liu Mingtao said. "It''s definitely their bastards!" "What should we do now, we have been targeted by them, what should we do? And now public opinion is very unfavorable to us, but we can''t explain it!" Other directors also said, in a bad mood. Their ability to achieve this position proves that they are very capable. After seeing the materials provided by the employees, they know how difficult this matter is. There are two materials provided by the employees, one is the latest issue of "Jiuding Daily" issued by Jiuding News, and the other is the new issue of securities research report published by the Securities Research Institute of Jiuding Securities. In the "Jiuding Daily", there is no word for Jardine Air Cargo Station, but it has a great impact on their company, and they have no way to blame. In the newspaper, it is a research report on the world transportation industry and sea and air transportation, which elaborated on the changes in the world transportation industry in the past decade. Xiangjiang is composed of small islands, and land transportation is destined to be that way. Therefore, there are two sub-sectors closely related to Xiangjiang, shipping and air transportation. These two sub-sectors belong to a competitive relationship and a fungible relationship. When the shipping industry rises, the air transportation market will decline, and vice versa. In the newspaper, it was reasonable and well-founded to introduce the peak period of the shipping market from 1973 to 1975 and the trough period of the shipping industry from 1975 to 1978. But the article suddenly wrote that the shipping industry has begun to rise, and it predicts that a new round of peaks in the shipping industry will come. The most important thing is that it also provides very rigorous survey data and theoretical support, which is very convincing. At the end of the article, I mentioned the air transportation industry of Xiangjiang. It was written that the cargo terminal of Kai Tak Airport, the largest in Hong Kong, has just been put into use for only two years. The investment has not been earned at all, and a new round of expansion plans have been made big strides. However, when the maritime industry is about to rise, the air transport industry''s market will be squeezed, and there are concerns about the revenue of air transport related companies, and then a lot of Balabala. It is even mentioned that the decline of Hong Kong¡¯s manufacturing industry will also affect the air freight market, because many electronic products and textiles manufactured by Hong Kong are shipped to all parts of the world by air. However, a set of data shows that Hong Kong¡¯s manufacturing industry has been affected by the real estate industry and the The squeeze of the environment, the manufacturing industry is showing a downward trend, which will also have a great negative impact on the air transport industry, because customers and transportation volumes are reduced! This article can be summed up in one sentence. I am optimistic about the shipping industry in the next few years, and I am pessimistic about the air transportation industry, and the whole article is justified and well-founded. It is a good article full of dry goods and people have to be convinced. The article is good, but it is not good for the people sitting here. Because Xiangjiang''s air transportation industry is directly monopolized by their company, the air transportation market is affected, but are they not affected? Although there is no mention of their company in the news, it is their company! The more convinced newspaper readers are of this article, the more bad it will be for their company''s stock price! If the news of "Jiuding Daily" is aimed at a wide range of readers, then the securities research report provided by the Jiuding Securities Research Institute is for people in the financial industry, and it is more lethal. Because the securities research report directly pointed out the bad view of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and believed that the stock price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal was too high, it was recommended to sell, and the level of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company was downgraded. This is completely telling peers and stockholders that the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company is going to fall, so quickly sell! You know, because of the impressive record of Jiuding Securities, even though Jiuding Securities Research Institute has not been established for a long time, their securities research reports have been sought after, and because the reports are of high quality, users have a particularly high degree of trust in them! So now that this report comes out, many people will definitely be affected, which is extremely unfavorable to Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company! Isn''t that right now? The company''s stock price has fallen by 4%, and it continues to fall! And those sitting here know that this is just the beginning. When news and research reports continue to spread and become known to more people, then the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Station will fall even more! "Jiuding Daily" and Jiuding Securities research report are like two sharp knives, stabbing the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company twice, causing its stock price to be lost like blood! At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room is very heavy. "Damn it, you must find a way quickly, not let the stock price go down!" Charles Keswick said with a sullen face, he is now full of fire, and it is Xia Yu again! And this trouble is very tricky! "Yes, we must stabilize the stock price and immediately hold a press conference to express our attitude and eliminate the negative impact as much as possible." "In addition, to prepare for the bottom line, the stock price must not be allowed to fall, otherwise it will only attract more institutions to join in, and then it will really be over!" Barton Hardman said. "But Button, our company does not have much funds in the account now, only about 14 million. If it is used to save the stock price, it will definitely not be enough!" Finance Director Liu Mingtao reminded. As soon as these words came out, everyone''s expressions became more serious, and the company had no money, how could they make the most of it? Everyone unconsciously cast their eyes on the top chief executive, Patton Hardman Patton Hardman was overwhelmed by the pressure, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Charles Cather K, the others followed his gaze and looked at Charles Keswick. Barton Hardman is a person trained by Grandpa Charles Keswick and belongs to the backbone of the Jardine Consortium. He also manages the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal on behalf of Jardine Pacific. Jardine Pacific holds a 35.85% stake in Jardine Air Cargo Terminal. As the largest shareholder, it must provoke responsibility. The one present who best represents Jardine Pacific is not Patton Hardman, but Charles Keswick! Charles Keswick also knew what they meant. He nodded sharply and said: "I will return to the family immediately, and I will definitely find a way to bring the funds over, but the funds cannot be provided by us alone. I hope you will also use the funds to tide over this crisis! " Although Jardine Air Cargo Station is a constituent enterprise of the Jardine Consortium, it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary. Of course, it is impossible for the Jardine Pacific family to pay for it. It is fair to have everyone contribute together! As soon as this remark came out, the other shareholders and directors scowled, but in the sharp eyes of Charles Keswick and Patton Hardman, they could only nod their heads in agreement. Chapter 326: Appetizer ?At the same time, Wang Qi followed Xia Yu, walking behind the rows of operators. Every employee raised his head and held his chest up, operating like a chicken with all concentration. This state made Xia Yu secretly nod. From more than ten days ago, eight groups of personnel began to implement Xia Yu''s plan, and the two groups secretly absorbed one goal. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and stock market battles are a war without gunpowder. Naturally, Xia Yu must line up his troops to ensure the final victory. Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Jardine Machinery Group, and Wharf, these four companies, in this sniper and acquisition war, two are true and two are false. Xia Yu''s strategy is very simple. He used the sixth strategy of the thirty-six strategy of victory-the sound of the east and the west, and the eighth strategy of the thirty-six strategy of the enemy-the darkness! However, although it seems simple to Xia Yu, it is hard to say for Yihe. In addition, Xia Yu has mental arithmetic and unintentional, hehe... As the smallest of the four goals, Jardine Air Cargo Station has naturally become the first target. So far, combining secret absorption from the stock market and acquisitions from scattered shareholders, all accounts in Xia Yu''s hands add up to an 18.5% stake in Jardine Air Cargo Station. At this level, there are not many stocks that will circulate in the stock market, and the rest are either in the hands of those shareholders of Jardine Air Cargo Station, or in the hands of retail investors or institutions who firmly believe that Jardine Air Cargo Station will rise. So Xia Yu wants to continue to buy stocks, it is already very difficult! However, even if the 18.5% equity is exposed, compared to the 35.85% controlling interest owned by Jardine Pacific, the threat is not too big and cannot achieve the desired effect in the Xia Yu plan. What to do at this time? Can only come hard! Don''t those retail investors and institutions want to sell it? Then destroy their confidence and force them to sell! In the stock market, smart people and determined people are in the minority after all. Most of the stockholders follow the trend to buy up, and follow the trend to sell down. After all, there are only a few who have the courage to buy on dips. Don¡¯t look at the bargain hunting that looks simple, but it¡¯s actually too difficult to operate. The knowledge contained in it takes many people to comprehend throughout their lives. The most basic question can stump most people, and that¡¯s how to determine The stock price has fallen to a trough and is suitable for buying? In addition, many institutions and retail investors are not investing in stocks on principal. In order to maximize their profits, most institutions and retail investors will use financial leverage to amplify profits while also increasing risks! If the judgment is wrong, then the stock price continues to fall after buying the stock, then the fun is great! If it falls sharply, the leverage used by itself is also large, and it is normal to fall and close your position, and you will lose everything! There will be another dead soul under the roof! Therefore, there are still a small number of people who are courageous and confident, and still have firm confidence in the company that bought the stock. Most of them are unscrupulous people who hurriedly sold the stop loss when the stock price plummeted! The future is bright, but most people fell before dawn! And Xia Yu calculated this large group of people! "Jiuding Daily" and Jiuding Securities Research Institute jointly launched a public opinion offensive and completed the first step to create public opinion panic! The second step is to confirm the panic and amplify the panic to complete the public opinion offensive in the shortest time. And the one who can do this is the most suitable one, not the newly released Galaxy Fund, but the already renowned Jiuding Securities Company! With an invincible record and Xia Yu''s reputation as a stock god, it is too simple to influence the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company! It was Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. who first launched the attack. It was the Evergreen No. 1 Fund managed by Wang Qi! Evergreen No. 1 Fund directly stated that the suppression of the stock price is to let others know that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. did it. It was taken from the reputation and strength of Jiuding Securities Company. Jiuding Securities Company confronted. Instead, it is very likely to follow the trend and go short! Help Xia Yu! This is also in Xia Yu''s calculations. Xia Yu''s goal is to buy more stocks, so just suppressing the stock price runs counter to his plan. So at this time, the Galaxy Fund came out. The Galaxy Fund is like a potentially underwater crocodile, quietly absorbing low-priced stocks. Galaxy Fund and Evergreen No. 1 Fund are Xia Yu''s left and right hands, left hand to right hand, no loss at all. Even as long as other institutions or retail investors are affected and sell at a lower price, they help to suppress the stock price in a disguised form, and the Galaxy Fund can buy stocks sold by others at a lower cost. Comparing the two, the difference is a profit! And the lower the stock price you buy now, the higher the floating profit will be when the later exposure starts to fight for battle! What if other institutions and retail investors choose to wait and see, not sell stocks for the time being, or even collect funds? Xia Yu is also prepared, directing and acting for others! Evergreen No. 1 Fund hit the market, and the Galaxy Fund was invincible to fight, but it bought it before other institutions. If the situation is more complicated, start the second plan. The Galaxy Fund is responsible for the first group to help sell and sell, and the second group is responsible for secretly absorbing. If other institutions want to do more, then Xia Yu will let him see what is the power of landslides. The Galaxy Fund and the Evergreen No. 1 Fund simultaneously smashed the market to suppress the stock price, knocking the enemy out of fear, and even exiting! Then continue to absorb and buy it back! With these plans, Xia Yu can control the rise and fall of the stock price at any time. The strength of the stock price depends on the strength of resistance. Of course, this is for other organizations that want to fish in troubled waters and retail investors who are lucky enough. If the order is received by the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, it is a different matter. Because Jardine Air Cargo Station bought it and would never spit it out. If Xia Yu suppressed the stock price and was absorbed by them at a low price, it would help them in disguise, so Xia Yu would not do such a foolish act. thing. If you want to avoid all of this, you must be fast! fast! fast! Before the Jardine Air Cargo Station raises funds and enters the market to rescue the market, it will reduce its stock price as much as possible to the lowest possible level, and complete as much fund-raising as possible. After completing this step, it is time to fight for the bayonet. It is time to raise the price and grab the stock, and continue to grab the stock before the Jardine Air Cargo Station, and then jump out to a certain extent to start the acquisition war. It can be said that Xia Yu''s plan is very precise and meticulous, with specific steps for each step, and there are different solutions for possible emergencies. If there is an unexpected situation beyond the plan, don''t worry, Xia Yu will handle it personally! At this time, he will stay here most of the time until the war is won! "Yihe, here comes the appetizer, let''s go on!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth, and he thought to himself. Chapter 327: Bright bayonet ? Jardine Air Cargo Station soon released the news and held a press conference in order to stabilize the stock price and buy time. And Charles Keswick hurried to home, wanting to report the unexpected situation to the family, and fight for a fund to buy back stocks. Isn''t this crisis an opportunity? If he can get more financial support from his family, the more shares he buys back, the more beneficial it will be for him. After all, his strength in Jardine Air Cargo Station is not weak. As long as nothing goes wrong, Jardine Air Cargo Station Sooner or later they will be taken care of under his name. After Jiuding Securities fired its first shot, it immediately attracted the attention of the stock market-related industries and sent people to inquire about the news. In the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, Liu Tianci arranged investment matters in the company and got the news reported by the employees. After he got the news, he was not surprised. On the contrary, he showed an inexplicable look. This unpredictable appearance made the employees confused. . "It''s finally started. I didn''t expect the Jardine Air Cargo Station as the first target, but it is indeed a very good target..." Liu Tianci narrowed his eyes and said inwardly. Xia Yu told him the general plan, but did not elaborate, and Liu Tianci did not ask much. He has been familiar with the situation of Guang''an Bank wholeheartedly, and is doing his best to make a comprehensive reform and development plan for Guang''an Bank, and he did not pay special attention to it. These things. "Manager, should we look for opportunities to start?" An investment manager next to him asked. "No hurry, let''s wait and see, you send someone to find out the news, and give me feedback as soon as possible!" Liu Tianci said blankly. How could he go against Xia Yu? If he can help Xia Yu without losing money, he will do it. However, how to choose depends on the detailed actual situation, whether it is done or not, the situation is still Be familiar. Even if he sends someone to investigate the situation, if he can find some problems, he can tell Xia Yu in time to avoid accidents. As time goes by, more and more people and institutions have learned that Jiuding Securities is suppressing the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Station. Frightened by the prestige of Jiuding Securities, many people didn''t even think about it and sold the stocks directly. All the sold stocks were secretly absorbed by Xia Yu. 18.6%¡­¡­18.8%¡­¡­19.1%¡­¡­ The proportion of shares owned by Xia Yu is rising rapidly. Every move of the Jardine Air Cargo Station has been paid attention to by the people at the moment of the stock market war. After all, the attitude and methods of the Jardine Air Cargo Station determine their judgment and grasp of this matter, so they can''t help but care! Soon, the press conference held by the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company spread. The company¡¯s top executives attended one after another. President Barton Hardman severely denounced Jiuding Securities for maliciously suppressing the stock price and accused the "Jiuding Daily" of publishing misleading errors. The article, the impact is extremely bad, but the Jardine Air Cargo Station is operating well, there is no problem of false high stock prices and so on. A series of measures and words have only one purpose, and that is to stabilize the stock price first. But how can Xia Yu make them happy? Xia Yu was also staring at every move of the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company. After receiving the news, Xia Yu sneered and directly ordered to increase the pressure. With Xia Yu''s order, the power to suppress the stock price directly doubled several times. The stock price, which had been slowing down because of a press conference held by Jardine Air Cargo Station, collapsed again, and the decline became even more rapid. The determination of Jiuding Securities is at a glance. Looking at the plummeting stock price, many stockholders and institutions with a fluke mentality either took the initiative or were forced to liquidate their positions. "Business Daily", which is paying attention to the stock price in real time, asked questions for the first time and told the latest stock price. Patton Hardman''s face was hot and he hated Jiuding Securities in his heart. This slap was too hard, leaving no room at all! In the end, Barton Hardman, who was annoyed by reporters'' questions, had to end the press conference hastily, and after leaving a harsh word, he speeded up and prepared to fight back. The Jardine Air Cargo Terminal does not have an investment department, so if you want to intervene in the stock market, you must borrow the hands of other financial companies to operate. It will naturally take a certain amount of time for Jardine Air Cargo Company to contact a securities or fund management company, and after contacting it, it will also need to negotiate specific cooperation, establish an account, arrange personnel to operate funds into the market, etc., all of which will take time to complete. Just as Barton Hardman waited anxiously, the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal fell like the water of the Yellow River. 9.34 yuan per share......9.28 yuan per share......9.15 yuan per share......9.07 yuan per share......8.87 yuan per share...... Unknowingly, the stock price fell directly by more than 10%, and the downward trend continued unabated. It seems that I don''t know when it will begin. "It''s too ruthless. Is Jiuding Securities determined to be Kongyihe Air Cargo Terminal Company? Is it an analysis or inside information?" "It should be true. Jiuding Securities Company has never failed, and every time it takes action, it is a big gain. If it is not profitable, it is impossible to launch such a blatant attack!" "There is a good show..." Whether it is the exchange or other places, many people talk about it and are attracted by this battle. ... "Boss, the Ming Lantern Fund has 1.3 million shares, a total of 2.6% of the shares are all purchased, the purchase price per share is 10 Hong Kong dollars, and the cost is 13 million." "Boss, the task is complete, Star Securities has 900,000 shares, a total of 1.8% of the stocks are all acquired, the purchase price of 10.25 Hong Kong dollars per share, at a cost of 9.225 million Hong Kong dollars." "boss¡­¡­" Good news came one by one, and the equity held by Xia Yu was rapidly increasing. Seeing Xia Yu''s resolute suppression of stock prices, almost all securities and fund companies thought Xia Yu was shorting the stocks. In this case, Xia Yu¡¯s people bought at the opening price this morning, or at a premium, and many investment institutions have one after another. promise. The gods fight, their little arms and legs can''t be mixed up, and they are easily beaten if they are not careful. Now they can sell them at a premium and get away. They will make such a choice, but there is no way. After all, this is not the age of the Internet, and there are so many financial institutions in Xiangjiang, it is difficult to know the situation of other companies. Many companies think that Jiuding Securities is shorting the Yihe Air Cargo Terminal, but in fact it is not shorting at all. It simply suppresses the stock price and uses information asymmetry to operate quickly and accurately, forcing other institutions to have no time to touch. Knowing the situation, I had to quickly liquidate and sell. "Ring Ling Ling..." "Hey... I see!" "Boss, there is a force in the bulls who want to grab the goods from us." Just after Xia Yu hung up the phone, Ma Kai, the first team leader in charge of operating the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, discovered the situation for the first time and reported to Xia Yu. Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed, and the staff on the phone just reported that a sum of 100 million Hong Kong dollars had been credited to the Jardine Air Cargo Station account, so the long force that suddenly appeared now was the Jardine Air Cargo Station Company. "How many stocks do we already own?" Xia Yu did not answer Ma Kai so quickly, but turned to ask the statistician, who would update the equity information anytime and anywhere to ensure that Xia Yu can make correct judgments and decisions based on the situation. The statistician respectfully reported: "Boss, we already own 14.8 million shares of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, a total of 29.6%!" Xia Yu smiled upon hearing this , even Ma Kai couldn''t help but smile. A large-scale attack and deterrence forced 5.55 million shares of stock, which increased the equity in one''s hands by 11.1%! The shareholding ratio can grow so much in a short period of time, thanks to the transfer of shares of some institutions, those are the big heads! This ratio is not far from Jardine Pacific¡¯s 35.85% holding ratio, and Xia Yu is actually the second largest shareholder. The time is ripe! It''s time to start the second process to light up the bayonet! "According to the plan, stop suppressing the stock price, and immediately rush to raise funds, and at the same time, in the name of Galaxy Fund, initiate a takeover offer to Jardine Air Cargo Station!" Xia Yu looked serious and decisively ordered. "Yes!" Ma Kai responded loudly, and then walked away quickly. Chapter 328: Happily too early ? There are two flowers and one branch each. After Charles Keswick returned to the family, he told his father John Keswick about the situation and asked the family to inject a certain amount of money to rescue the market. John Keswick is 62 years old and has two sons under his knees, the eldest son Henry and the second son Charles. Old John took over the position of patriarch from his cousin, and the Jardine Consortium flourished in his hands. After being listed in 1961, it developed rapidly and its assets continued to expand, establishing its position as the number one British consortium in the Far East. It''s a pity that although old John was outstanding when he was young, he was so romantic. He didn''t have his first son until middle age. Although he is only 61 years old now, his body is very poor, even five or six years ago. Up. But the two sons can''t provoke the big responsibility. Old John is selfish and doesn''t want to give the position of the head of the family to others, he just wants to choose an heir from the two sons. Taking precautions, Old John put his confidant absolutely in the position of the president of Jardine Group, put his other confidants in other core enterprises, and controlled remotely by himself to cultivate health and rest in order to live for a few more years, until two sons. Until the success of success. Although he no longer manages the business himself, the old John also knows a lot about the various enterprises within the Jardine consortium. It was he who judged that the Hong Kong Air Cargo Industry was promising at the beginning and invited the Governor to entertain him. Finally, through a secret transaction, he won the exclusive right to operate the air cargo industry. This was how the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company appeared today. At this time, I heard the second son talk about the situation, and the old John, who had been accustomed to the wind and waves, looked calm and asked: "How much money do you need?" Charles Keswick thought for a while and said: "There is still 14 million funds in the company. Before I came, other directors had also provided funds, so I think that we should spend 50 million." After that, Charles Keswick looked at his father expectantly. Old John heard the words and shook his head slowly. When Charles Keswick was disappointed, he said: "You are too simple to think. Don''t consider other directors. It is stupid to put hope on others. I will give you Allocate one hundred million of funds to enter the account of the cargo station company in the name of Jardine Pacific, entrust the cargo station company to purchase stocks, and externally claim that the company will buy back stocks, understand?" "In addition, contact other shareholders to buy their stocks!" Charles Keswick was overjoyed but also a little confused. He didn''t know what his father was doing so complicated. He opened his mouth and just wanted to ask. Old John shook his head and interrupted him: "You go back to the company now, as I said. Do it, and report to me immediately if there are special circumstances, and the funds will soon be transferred to the account of the cargo station company." "Good father!" Charles Keswick nodded respectfully, and then quickly left the living room. As soon as Charles Keswick went out, Old John picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, this is John Keswick, you send someone to immediately transfer 100 million yuan in funds..." Putting down the phone, Old John''s muddy eyes became sharp, and he smelled conspiracy. For Jiuding Securities, as well as Xia Yu, the newly emerging Chinese rich man, old John certainly knew, and he also knew what power Xia Yu''s energy would be when it was put on the stock market. When Charles reported to him just now, he suspected that it was Jiuding Securities. Old John didn''t say much, but he must have been Jiuding Securities in an instant. At that moment, a sense of crisis lingered in his mind. This was his intuition that he had worked hard for many years in the business world, so he knew that there must be danger. As for the motive and purpose of Jiuding Securities, Old John has speculations, but he is still not sure, but in his opinion, it is definitely not as simple as suppressing the stock price or short selling. Now Jardine Pacific Air Cargo owns 35.85% of the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Station, and Jardine Pacific is 100% controlled by the Keswick family, so the equity belonging to the Keswick family is 35.85%. This equity ratio can only be considered general for controlling the safety of the company. The safest way is to raise the equity ratio above 50%. Jardine Air Cargo Terminal is a dominating structure. Other directors do not have much equity. If you add the equity of other shareholders, the entire board of directors owns about 49% of the equity. But Old John is well aware of the complexity of people''s hearts. In the face of money, other directors are likely to betray, so the safest and safest way is to have absolute controlling rights. It is precisely this consideration that he will say that he wants to buy stocks in the actual name of Jardine Pacific, and the investment of 100 million yuan is to be foolproof. After all, 35.85% is still 14.15% away from the 50% holding line. If the most undesirable thing happens, then the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company will definitely soar. By that time, 50 million yuan of funds will be really scary. Sure enough! He knew that Jiuding Securities had just raised 600 million Hong Kong dollars! Such a large sum of money is too threatening! "I hope it''s not the worst..." Old John let out a long breath, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. ... Charles Keswick rushed back to the company with excitement, just in time to see Barton Hardman and others ending the press conference with a dark face. After a brief exchange of information, Patton Hardman breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said: "Charles, time is urgent, I have already contacted the securities company, and now we have to go there." When Charles and others rushed to Eddie Securities, President Eddie immediately greeted him and said, "Mr. Barton, Mr. Charles, how are you!" "Charles, this is Eddie Roman, the founder of Eddie Securities!" Worried that Charles didn''t know Eddie, Barton Hardman quickly introduced him. "Hello Mr. Eddie! I will trouble you this time!" Charles Keswick shook hands with Eddie and said. "You''re welcome, this is what I should do!" Eddie said politely. After a few polite words, Eddie immediately took Charles and Button to the place of operation and introduced the specific situation as they walked. "We are ready, just waiting for your capital. Now the stock price has fallen to 9.12 Hong Kong dollars per share. If we don''t resist, according to the other party''s strength, it can fall below 9 Hong Kong dollars in five minutes at most!" "I don''t know how much capital you have prepared? Need to provide leverage?" "There is no need for leverage, the funds will arrive immediately, and 100 million of funds are definitely sufficient!" Charles refused without hesitation. UU reading www.uukANAshu.com Eddie was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of admiration, with a more respectful attitude. Seeing Eddie''s changes, Charles felt a sense of pride. For the sake of safety, he does not intend to use financial leverage, and certain procedures are required to allocate funds. He does not want to waste time waiting. He wants to do it immediately and clean up the other party! Soon, when the funds were in place, Charles and Patton looked at each other and immediately said, "Do it!" Following Charles''s order, the operator who was ready for a long time immediately put out the bill. Charles Keswick clenched his fists and smiled confidently. It¡¯s a pity that Charles Keswick was too happy. In less than two minutes, the stock price began to rise after less than ten hands were acquired, and the increase seemed to start to increase. Charles just wanted to laugh happily, but saw Eddie. Roman frowned, and Charles couldn''t help but squeak in his heart. Chapter 329: Much-anticipated ? Sure enough, Eddie''s words made Charles feel bad: "Mr. Charles, the situation is not right, there is an organization to raise money! And the power of the shorts suddenly disappeared!" "You mean the enemy ran away?" Charles Keswick was taken aback and asked uncertainly. Unexpectedly, Eddie Roman shook his head and said his guess: "Not necessarily, it may be the enemy who suppressed the stock price now!" "Mr. Charles, now that the stock price is rising, shall we wait and see or continue to buy?" Eddie Roman asked. He is just an executor hired. The original task was to stabilize the stock price and make the stock price rebound. Now that he does not need to act, the stock price starts to rise. It seems that the task is completed? Charles Keswick was also a little confused by this unexpected situation. He thought about it and just wanted to wait and see for a while. Unexpectedly, the phone in the operating room rang suddenly, and everyone looked at it reflexively. Eddie Roman immediately connected: "Hello, what''s the situation?" "what?" After listening to Eddie Roman, he exclaimed and hung up without replying. He solemnly said to Charles and others: "Mr. Charles, Mr. Barton, get the latest news. Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. separated from your company. An empty shout, claiming to own 29.6% of the equity, to acquire your company!" "Now they should be the scrambler!" "what!" "29.6%?" "Want to buy our company?" Charles and Patton were shocked at once, and they looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter. "Damn bastard, they want to steal my company!" Charles''s sense of crisis rose sharply, and he yelled. The 29.6% equity is about 6% away from their holding line of Jardine Pacific. The gap is too small! "Change the plan, grab the money immediately, fast!" Charles shouted directly because he was too impatient. Eddie Roman nodded immediately and waved his opponent''s employees and said, "Go all out!" Charles''s heart kept surging, and he walked back and forth two steps with dignity, and then said to Patton Hardman: "Barton, please watch here now, I want to report to the family." "Ok!" Barton Hardman nodded solemnly, then turned his attention to the stock market, and a worrisome arose in his heart. After Charles went out, he immediately called home. After Old John got on the phone, he frowned at Charles''s anxious report, and said solemnly: "All you can do to raise money, and immediately contact other shareholders to take the stock in their hands. Buy them all!" After hanging up the phone, Old John stood up and walked back and forth two times with his hands behind his back to calm himself down. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Check me a company called Galaxy Fund, as well as information about Jiuding Securities and Xia Yu..." ... "Where is the sacred Galaxy Fund? Cooperating with Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd.? And still focusing on it?" "This is a direct attack. The Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company is the core enterprise of the Jardine Consortium. This is a naked face slap!" "The situation is changing, too fast!" In less than ten minutes, the news that Jiuding Securities and the unknown Galaxy Fund launched an acquisition from Jardine Air Cargo Station spread throughout the financial market, and many people put aside their business to focus on this matter. The first reaction of stockholders and institutions in the stock market was to look at the stock price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company and see that the stock price directly rushed back to 9 Hong Kong dollars and continued to rise at an ultra-fast rate. Many stockholders and heads of institutions who had sold stocks just felt that their eyes were black and almost fainted. After recovering, they all wailed. "Damn, I actually sold the stock just now and I lost a lot!" "Me too, I was cheated..." In addition to the people who wailed and vomited blood and slapped their thighs, there were also people who held the stocks but did not sell them. At this time, they had a surviving expression on their faces, and the smiles on their faces could not hide them. "I have 2000 shares, but fortunately I didn''t sell them. Looking at the situation, I definitely made a lot of money. I posted it!" "I haven''t sold 3,500 shares. Fortunately, I almost wanted to sell it just now..." The proud words of these people reached the ears of the people who sold the stock, and they immediately let the latter slap his chest. It''s a pity that it''s too late to say anything, I blame myself for being too unresolute, if I could be cruel... Unfortunately, there is no if... Whether it''s the frustrated person, the proud person, or even the unrelated people who eat melons, they are watching the share price of the Yihe Air Cargo Station closely, wanting to know how much it will rise! Chong Chong Chong! Soon, the stock price broke the 10 Hong Kong dollar mark again, exceeding today''s opening price! 10.18 yuan per share...10.28 yuan...10.47 yuan...10.65 yuan...11 yuan... Seeing that in less than 5 minutes, the stock price directly broke through the 11 Hong Kong dollar barrier after breaking through 10 Hong Kong dollars. Everyone was excited. "It has gone up, it has been 12 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the total market value has exceeded 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which has increased by 100 million!" "Oh my god, it''s too fast, according to this level, when will I be tall!" ... Inside Eddie Securities, everyone looked solemn. Eddie said to Barton Hardman: "Mr. Hardman, the situation is very bad. There are almost no sell orders in the market now. Even if there is a sell order, it is difficult to grab a sell order. To." "Mr. Hardman, I don''t know what price is our grab limit?" According to Eddie¡¯s experience, almost no one wants to sell stocks now, and they are all watching. Unless the bottom line of both parties is reached, the stock price stabilizes or fluctuates again, letting the waiters know that it is at the top, and no one is willing to sell the stock. Now that the prices are raised each other, the stocks cannot be bought, and the prices are raised again, it is completely useless! Barton Hardman has a solemn expression. Although he is the CEO of the company, the funds are the funds of the Keswick family. Therefore, he cannot decide on this issue. It can only be decided by Charles. The problem is that Charles is not here. He felt very tricky. Looking at Eddie Roman, Patton Hardman gritted his teeth and said directly: "Continue to raise the price and see who gives up first!" Eddie nodded and immediately urged the operating staff. "damn it!" Barton Hardman screamed and hated Xia Yu. ... At the same time, the phone of Jiuding Securities kept ringing, and many people came to ask about the situation The employees who answered the phone had already received the order, as long as someone asked, except for the answer about the Galaxy Fund, I don¡¯t know. All other questions are answered, with only one purpose, to show the firm determination of Jiuding Securities. The phone in Wang Qi''s office also kept ringing. He answered one after another and finally hung up the phone. He exhaled and then smiled. The more people who pay attention, the better. It will not only enhance the reputation of Jiuding Securities, but also increase the pressure on Yihe, which is more beneficial to them! How can we blackmail out more money if we don''t let Jardine believe it? "It is temporarily impossible for Jardines to absorb shares from the stock market. It can only be bought from private shareholders. Presumably the boss has sent someone to drag them..." Wang Qi murmured with a smile. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the close of the morning. The closing price of Jardine Air Cargo Station was fixed at 13.98 Hong Kong dollars per share, which was almost able to break through 14 Hong Kong dollars, and the market value almost increased by 200 million Hong Kong dollars in one morning! Chapter 330: Qianlong out of the abyss ? "Good Li Sheng, I will not be polite to you if there is a need..." Xia Yu hung up the phone with a smile on his face, and Li Qian whispered from the side: "This is the sixth person calling, Xia Yu, you are too good." "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled, took Li Qian''s little hand and stroked it, and gently explained: "These old foxes all have an abacus, saying that they care about me, but in fact I wish I rushed forward to find them the way!" "Just say Li Jiacheng, he is the most active. I still don''t know what he is thinking?" Li Qian nodded her head as if she didn''t understand, and saw that Xia Yu didn''t say any further, she didn''t ask, but cleverly pinched Xia Yu''s shoulders. Xia Yu''s eyes were blurred, thinking about it in his heart. Those who called him were Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Wang Dehui, and Li Jiacheng, all of whom are today''s Chinese bigwigs. Among them, Li Jiacheng has the most positive and enthusiastic attitude. These people are friends with Xia Yu, and they have exchanged several times. Among them, the closest one is Li Jiacheng. They called to inquire about the stock market this morning, test Xia Yu''s attitude, and at the same time sell it to Xia Yu, saying that if Xia Yu needs it, whether it is funds or contacts, they will definitely help. There is no unprovoked love and help in the world, especially for capitalists, even more impossible! They are so active, it is nothing more than the issue of interest, but also a huge interest! Prior to this, Xiangjiang has always been the British world, whether it is capital or political. However, after the fall of the magic capital in 1927, a large number of businessmen took their wealth south to Xiangjiang, especially between 1948-1950, the wealth that poured into Xiangjiang accounted for more than half of the social wealth of Xiangjiang, and Chinese capital began to rise. But in the final analysis, under the rule of the British, many important industries related to people''s livelihood are not open to Chinese capital. Chinese capital mainly wanders in import and export processing industries such as textiles and garments. Even if they can enter banking and shipping industries, Also suffered a lot of constraints. Until the 1960s, real estate began to emerge, and Chinese capital entered the market on a large scale. And after the "corrupt government storm", the Hong Kong government gradually transformed into a modern, transparent and efficient government, and the rudimentary form of a society under the rule of law began to emerge, and then began to attach importance to people''s livelihood construction, increase infrastructure investment, and strengthen Chinese participation in politics. The effects of this series of policies have been extremely significant. Hong Kong¡¯s economic growth has accelerated further, Chinese capital has risen rapidly, and the real estate and financial industries have begun to show their success. Just like now, the four kings of the real estate industry in Hong Kong have now grown up. Among the top ten real estate companies in Hong Kong, more than half are Chinese-owned real estate companies. The financial industry is also the case. Chinese banks and securities companies are blooming everywhere. Although they are not as strong as HSBC and Standard Chartered, there are still many first and second-rate Chinese banks. But Xiangjiang is so big. Although the market pie will increase year by year, its share is almost certain to die. Most of it is occupied by the British consortium, and an invisible ceiling lies on the heads of Chinese capital. If it is said that its own strength is insufficient, the Chinese-funded consortium will not think about unrealistic things. But now the key is that the Chinese capital has accumulated a certain amount of strength, and it will naturally be eager for the British capital to enjoy the benefits. Not reconciled! Jealous! But in the final analysis, although the overall strength of the Chinese capital is no worse than that of the British capital, there are too many family powers in the Chinese capital, and there is no way to unite it. The British capital is different. The four major British consortiums are led by HSBC and Standard Chartered. Under this circumstance, the Chinese capital wanted to grab food, but was worried that they would not be able to grab it, or that they didn''t dare to be the first bird, or to gamble! At most, Chinese-funded enterprises move ordinary British-funded enterprises, but they are afraid to move the companies under the four major British-funded consortia for fear that they will attract thunder. But when everyone was secretly making small calculations, Jiuding Securities suddenly rushed out in a high-profile manner and launched an attack on the companies under the British consortium, and the target was the Jardine consortium, the first of the four consortiums. The impact of this Just like a mine exploding underwater, the impact is extremely profound. Whether it is the first or second-rate Chinese capital who has ideas about British-owned enterprises and the market, or those who are still laying a solid foundation, they have paid 12 points of attention. If Xia Yu succeeds, it will be a huge boost to the morale of the Chinese capital, and it will be able to test the reality of the British consortium. Then it will lead to an era of melee among the heroes. Many Chinese capitals who have ideas about British companies Will be put into action. If Xia Yu fails, he can also test out the reality of British capital so that they can make more accurate judgments. How long should they save? Or how much strength is needed to succeed. So regardless of whether Xia Yu succeeds or fails, the significance and impact of his move will be far-reaching. Of course, for the top Chinese forces, it is still hoped that Xia Yu can succeed, so the leaders or heavyweights of various factions such as Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Li Jiacheng and other factions have expressed their willingness to help, just hope Xia Yu was able to succeed and pierce the ceiling to pave the way for their next actions. Let¡¯s talk about Li Ka-shing, not to mention others. He is now sneaking up on Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s idea, but he doesn¡¯t have the strength and confidence to put it into practice. Even if he follows the trajectory of his previous life and has the support of HSBC, he can only be a non-executive director. , And then figure it out slowly. But if Xia Yu can succeed, Li Jiacheng will definitely increase a lot of confidence. "Cici, it''s late, let''s go to lunch." Withdrawing his mind, he looked at his watch and found that it was already twelve noon, Xia Yu said to Li Qian. ... "Father, do you know what happened in Xiangjiang?" In the living room of Omen He''s family, He Youguang asked his father in a low voice after pouring a cup of tea. "Ok!" He Hongshen held up his teacup hand and gave a hum, then took a sip of tea and exhaled heat from his mouth. "Then father, what do you think about this?" He Youguang asked Dao in a questioning tone. After receiving the news in the morning, He Youguang first couldn''t believe it. After repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, he had been thinking about Xia Yu''s intentions, and of course there was not a trace of worry in his heart. This is the Jardine Foundation! The Big Mac of Xiangjiang! The Jardine Air Cargo Station is also the core enterprise of the Jardine Consortium. Now Xia Yu blatantly launches the acquisition, which is completely pulling his teeth out of a tiger''s mouth. With Xia Yu''s current strength, he should not do such an unwise move! Is it because you have just raised 600 million yuan, you have money in your hands and become swollen? "It''s not that simple. The kid is a fox. There must be some hole card. It should be the Galaxy Fund that popped up suddenly. However, it depends on the reaction of Yihe!" "You are not good at finance, but you must understand in the future. This time you can study hard. Although the kid is a jerk, he is indeed a wizard in finance." He Hongshen pondered for a moment, and said earnestly. He Youguang nodded earnestly and said, "Good father, I will try to observe and think!" "Ok!" ... "Qianlong is out of the abyss!" In Chunqiu Medical Center Li Chunqiu listened to the report of his elder son Li Wuyang, smiled, stroked his white long beard, and said affirmatively. "Father, can Xia Sheng be able to hold it?" Li Wuyang asked. Although he is a martial artist, he is less pure than his younger brother Li Wuming. He understands the worldly and worldly matters better, and naturally understands the power of the Yihe Foundation. Now the Li family has long been tied to Xia Yu, and of course he is more concerned about Xia Yu''s affairs. Li Chunqiu laughed, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Xia Sheng has always been planning to move later. Since he dared to take the current action, he naturally has measures to deal with it. Don''t worry about him. All you have to do is pay attention to whether there is anyone. Make his idea secretly." "I understand!" Hearing what his father said, Li Wuyang thought about it carefully, and found that he was really worried, so he relaxed and said. Time passed slowly, getting closer and closer to the opening of the afternoon. Chapter 331: Critical situation ?Although the stock market has not opened yet, compared to usual, the stock market this afternoon is extremely crowded, but although there are many people, it does not appear to be noisy. There seems to be an invisible pressure forcing everyone to lower their voice. And this situation becomes more and more obvious over time. As the bell rang, everyone looked at the quotation board intently. "It''s coming out, 14.8 Hong Kong dollars, it jumped at the opening!" "The battle is fierce, it seems that Jiuding Securities and the Galaxy Fund are bound to win!" "The Jardine Consortium will not give up easily. A battle is going on. I haven''t seen such a fierce battle for a long time. Come on, take a stool and watch it slowly. I have melon seeds, who wants it?" "Give me something..." "I have peanuts, join the table together..." Soon, I did not know where to move a table out, a group of people around the table eating melon seeds and peanuts, looked at it with relish. Some people also learned the same way, and soon there was a ridiculous scene in the exchange, and people in circles were talking about things with critiques. It seems that lively is the nature of Huaxia people, no matter where they are, there are people who eat melons, no, they are people who eat melon seeds. ... Inside the Eddie Securities Company, Charles and Barton had been there early. After seeing the opening jump to 14.8 Hong Kong dollars, Charles and others frowned. The enemy''s determination is firm! You know, in order to grab and frighten the other party, they added 0.5 Hong Kong dollars to the closing price in the morning and placed a buy order at 14.5 per share, but they didn''t expect the other party to be even more ruthless and directly mentioned 14.8 Hong Kong dollars. Did not scare the other party, but was scared here! "Continue to grab money!" Charles gritted his teeth and said to Eddie. "Charles, this is not the way. We want to get shares from the stock market. It is too difficult and the price is high! According to the current trend, our 100 million funds can''t guarantee the absolute holding line." Barton Hardman said worriedly. Charles''s face suddenly turned black when he heard this. How could he not know this? However, the situation forces the other party to have enough shares to pose a major threat to oneself. If the other party does not bid and lets the other party sweep stocks in the stock market without stopping, they will soon buy enough shares. When the time comes to become the largest shareholder in one fell swoop, the trouble will be great! Now that the other party is the actual second largest shareholder, he is fully qualified to call for a board of directors to re-divide positions. Charles Keswick is now thankful that the other party has no such plans for the time being, otherwise it will be even more difficult! "It seems that we can only start from other shareholders, but those directors are too bad, they can''t get the money, and let them come to the company to shirk something. What can happen? There must be a ghost in my heart!" Charles thought to himself. "No, you must buy the stock in their hands!" After making up his mind, Charles told Barton Hardman: "Barton, you watch here, I''ll go find other shareholders!" Barton Hardman knew what Charles Keswick was thinking. He nodded heavily and said, "Okay, Charles, it must be successful!" Charles nodded without saying much, and quickly left Eddie Securities. ... "Beep...beep...beep..." "I''m Charles...what? You apologize to me? Bastard!" "Patter!" Charles hung up the phone with a grim expression, his chest rising and falling like a bellows, he was about to explode. A minority shareholder with 3.5% equity told him directly that he had sold the stock. Needless to say, the buyer could only be Xia Yu''s side! In addition to the shares announced by Xia Yu in the morning, now that the enemy owns 33.1% of the shares, they are only 2.74% away from their 35.85% shares! Even considering some of the stocks acquired by the other party in the morning, the gap may be less than 2.74%! "No, Curtis'' stock should not be sold to them. It is safer to buy his stock first." After thinking about it, Charles immediately went to Curtis. ... However, the minority shareholder who received Charles'' call at the beginning, after Charles hung up the phone angrily, he said helplessly: "I can''t help it. Exchange my company''s stock with me. If I don''t change it, I have to change it!" "Hey, I''m so embarrassed, gods fight, and mortals suffer!" The minority shareholder was originally happy to make a fortune. He was ready to sell the stock to Charles or Xia Yu at a high price, but after receiving a call from Jiuding Securities, he couldn''t laugh anymore, even crying. Jiuding Securities did not have the slightest ambiguity, and directly said that he would use 13% of his company¡¯s stock to exchange him for his 3.5% of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal. Can he not change it? Does he dare not change? If he dares not to change, the 13% equity of his company in Jiuding Securities'' hands will become a bloodletting knife for him. In the case of choosing to offend Yihe or Jiuding Securities, he still chose to offend Yihe. After all, if you offend Yihe, you may have trouble in the future, but if you offend Jiuding Securities, it will be unlucky right away. A securities company with more than one billion assets targeted his company with a market value of more than 100 million and was properly pressed on the ground. friction! Therefore, even if the 3.5% equity in Jardine Air Cargo Terminal is exchanged at a price of 10.2 Hong Kong dollars, it is obviously a loss, but he has to eat the loss. I was strangled by someone, and I had to agree to any request! "Hey, unfortunately, what is this!" ... Soon, the Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities announced that they had owned a 33.3% stake in Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and once again reiterated their determination to the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal. The news spread throughout the stock market for the first time. Many people couldn''t help but cheer loudly. Then they turned their attention to the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, or the Keswick family, to know what they had to do. Without letting the people down, Jardine Pacific claimed to own a 40% stake in less than ten minutes The spokesperson directly shouted out that no one could steal the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal! The pressure seemed to be lost to Xia Yu again. After you sing, we will come on stage! Xia Yu did not let the people eat the melons. Before long, the representative of Jiuding Securities announced that he already owns 36.7% of the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Station and reiterated that he would never fail! This determination was reflected in the stock market incisively and vividly. After an afternoon, the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal was lifted to 19.9 Hong Kong dollars. At the moment of closing, it was directly fixed at 20 Hong Kong dollars. In one day, the market value of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company doubled! Although the value of the stock in his hand has doubled, Charles is not happy at all, on the contrary, he is extremely annoyed, and even has a trace of panic in his heart. Because Jardine Pacific has no 40% equity at all, in fact only 38.5%, only 1.8% more than Xia Yu''s side, the situation is very critical! ~: I havent come to the Internet yet, the update is adjusted to noon I''m really sorry, it''s about 1.40, two chapters are finished, but my unit repaired the Internet tonight, and it hasn''t come yet.

Welcome to the latest chapter of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", updated by This article address: Welcome to read. ... Chapter 332: Bao Yugang, please At 4:10 in the afternoon, the stock market closed with the ringing of a bell. "Okay, everyone should make a summary of today, and each group leader will make a good statistics of the situation of the group, and take a free rest after the completion. In the evening, as usual, arrange the division of labor for tomorrow." Xia Yu clapped his hands and said to the surrounding employees. "thank you boss!" Later, Xia Yu left the closed building and came to the next door Jiuding Financial Building. "Wang Qi, did Yihe come to us?" After finding Wang Qi, Xia Yu asked. "not yet!" Wang Qi reports respectfully. Hearing the sound, Xia Yu''s mouth curled up, and said mockingly: "The Keswick family can really calm down!" "Wang Qi, continue to arrange for people to put pressure on those minority shareholders to buy the stocks as soon as possible. As long as they can''t buy the stocks, the Keswick family will definitely jump. I don''t believe they won''t come!" "At that time, if the Keswick family asks to meet, let them go first, let them know the reality, and talk about it later!" "Remember, no matter how much we actually have, the key is to grasp the yardstick. Our publicly announced stock share will just bite them. Don''t exceed it. It won''t be good if they are scared!" Xia Yu''s face was solemn, and he told Wang Qi. Xia Yu¡¯s purpose is green blackmail, not a stock speculation to become a boss. If he becomes the largest shareholder and does not hold a board of directors to take control, then the lie he acquired will be self-defeating. If the Keswick family reacts After coming over, his initiative is easily lost. "Ok!" Wang Qi solemnly responded. To deal with several other small shareholders, Xia Yu''s policy is to cut the mess quickly and use his own advantages to target their vitals. Before the plan, Xia Yu had a clear list of all the information, which company has which shareholders, what are the conditions of these shareholders, what proportion of the shares they hold, and how likely they are to buy the shares in their hands. In which way can you achieve the goal... It can be said that Xia Yu made the plan foolproof, and there are ways to deal with any situation. Just like the small shareholder in the morning, he has a listed company under his control, which is his lifeblood. He bought his company''s stock directly in advance and forced a change with him. No matter how reluctant he is, he still has to change. Because Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is well-known, it is one of the well-known big market makers in the Hong Kong stock market. There is also the boss of Xia Yu, the stock god, and Xia Yu controls public opinion. If you want to engage him, you should not do too much. So even though the people at Jiuding Securities didn''t point out the threat to him, the small shareholder knew what he meant and sold the stock to Xia Yu''s side with interest. Although this would offend him, Xia Yu didn''t care anymore. At his level, as long as he goes up, he will definitely offend people, and this is unavoidable. No one can be guilty if you want to live in peace, don''t want to grow! Just like stock trading, if Jiuding Securities wants to make money, it must look for targets to make stocks. Then every operation will definitely be unlucky. If it will offend them because of consideration, then don''t play finance at all! "By the way, boss, at 3:15 in the afternoon, when you were away, Bao Yu just made a call and said that there was something to do with you. I asked him what was going on, but he didn¡¯t say anything, so he said he would wait for you to come back and follow him in person. You say!" Wang Qi said suddenly. Xia Yu frowned and thought about it, thinking about Bao Yugang''s intentions. Bao Yugang has a good relationship with him. I have seen him many times in the long time. Moreover, Bao Yugang is also an important investor in his fund. Adding up two times before and after, Bao Yugang provided 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Funding can be said to be very optimistic to him. After thinking about it, Xia Yu had a few guesses in his mind, but he was not sure, so just ask! "I know!" "Anything else?" Xia Yu asked after finishing talking. "No more!" Wang Qi shook his head. "Then you go ahead!" Sending Wang Qi away, Xia Yu came to his office, picked up the phone and dialed Bao Yugang''s number. "Hey, Baosheng, I''m sorry, I just came back...haha... Baosheng would like to ask, I must be free..." "Thank you for your invitation, yes, I will definitely be there! See you tonight!" Xia Yu said with a smile, then hung up the phone, thought for a moment, then shook his head and left the office. He is going home to prepare. Bao Yugang invited him to dinner at his house tonight. Of course, he has to dress more formally to show respect. As night fell, Xia Yu raised his left hand to check the time, and then took Li Qian into the car to Bao''s house. "Boss, Mr. Bao is at the door." Li Wuming reminded when the car was approaching Bao''s door. Xia Yu''s spirits lifted up. Looking through the front windshield, he saw Bao Yugang and his second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng standing at the door. Xia Yu''s expression immediately became serious, and said, "Don''t stop to the door, stop about five meters away." Soon, the car stopped Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately opened the door and went out, smiling, and walked quickly towards Bao Yugang, while Li Qian followed Xia Yu with her skirt. "Bao Sheng, Wu Sheng, thank you very much, such a gift, I am really flattered!" Xia Yu said emotionally with a slight panic, and while speaking, he shook hands heavily with Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzheng. Bao Yugang smiled heartily and said in his unique loud voice: "Haha, Xia Sheng is serious, it should be my honor to invite you over during your busy schedule." Xia Yu smiled and thanked again and again: "Thank you!" Seeing Bao Yugang looking at Li Qian holding his arm, Xia Yu immediately introduced: "Bao Sheng Wu Sheng, this is my girlfriend Li Qian, take her to meet the world tonight~www. novelhall.com~ After speaking, Xia Yu motioned with one eye, Li Qian smiled and said hello: "Bao Sheng, Wu Sheng, good evening! " "Haha, good evening Miss Li, you are welcome!" "Xia Sheng, Ms. Li is naturally beautiful, you two men are talented women, a match made in heaven!" Bao Yugang said to Xia Yu. "Haha, Bao Sheng is too good at talking." "Haha..." "You see I''m always confused, letting guests stand at the door for so long, come, please inside!" Bao Yugang patted his forehead, made an awkward look, apologized, and made a please gesture. "Go together!" Xia Yu also made a please gesture and smiled. Then, Xia Yu and Li Qian went into the Bao family mansion accompanied by Bao Yugang. After entering, Xia Yu saw a middle-aged woman in the house making tea. Bao Yugang introduced to Xia Yu that it was his second daughter, Wu Guangzheng''s wife. In addition, there are only the cook and the nanny who cooks. Bao Yugang''s eldest daughter''s family and third daughter are not there, which shows that Bao Yugang values ??his second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. However, Xia Yu is not surprised. This is indeed the case. Among Bao Yugang¡¯s two sons-in-laws, the eldest son-in-law Su Haiwen is an Austrian, studying law and not strong in business talent; while the second son-in-law Wu Guang is an authentic Chinese. I studied business administration again, and after graduating from university, I worked at Chase Bank in the United States. He is very talented in business. With Bao Yugang having no children, naturally the second son-in-law is more suitable as a successor. This year Bao Yu just turned sixty years old. When he is old, he naturally needs to cultivate successors with his heart, so no matter what important occasion it is, he will take Wu Guangzheng and teach him hand in hand. In 1975, Bao Yugang even asked Wu Guang to serve as a director of the board of directors of his Global Shipping Group. This is evident in his attitude. Chapter 333: Bao Yugangs advice Soon, the dishes were ready, and Xia Yu brought Li Qian to the table under Bao Yugang''s greeting. During the banquet, Bao Yugang''s family was very enthusiastic. Xia Yu ate a sumptuous dinner with a smile on his face. He didn''t talk about superfluous things in the middle, that is, simply chatted about homework. Xia Yu knew that Bao Yugang was planning to talk to him after the meal. He was so happy about things. After eating and drinking, the nanny removed the food, and a group of people came to the living room to drink tea. Bao Peirong found a reason and called Li Qian to her room to chat. In a blink of an eye, only Xia Yu and Bao Yugang were left in the living room. After Wu Guangzheng filled Xia Yu''s teacup, Bao Yugang took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, and sighed for a long time. Xia Yu realized that it was time to say business, so he leaned forward slightly and made a listening posture. Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, I''m here to invite you this time to ask you for advice. Please feel free to let me know!" "Bao Sheng is polite, please say, I must know everything I can answer, and I can say nothing!" Xia Yu said with a smile on his face. "Haha, Xia Sheng is magnificent, then I will ask cheeky." Bao Yugang smiled heartily, then smiled slightly and asked: "Xia Sheng, I read every issue of your "Jiuding Daily". The articles and news on it are of very high quality. I can''t find a better newspaper in Xiangjiang. ." "Thank you!" Bao Yugang first flattered Xia Yu as a foreshadowing, Xia Yu smiled and said thank you. "The analysis on the Hong Kong shipping market written in the newspaper today is very incisive and detailed. After reading it, I have made a lot of profits, but I have some questions in my heart. You also know that the situation in the world shipping market in recent years has been really bad, you How do you judge that shipping will rise?" Bao Yugang said slowly, then looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. In fact, this is a euphemism. In fact, after reading this article, Bao Yugang thought about it all day, which conflicted with his point of view! He judged that in the next few years, even more than ten years, the shipping market will be in a downturn and the global shipping market will enter a period of depression, but the view of Jiuding Daily is exactly the opposite of his judgment. Although Bao Yugang believes in his own judgment, judging from the quality of the "Jiuding Daily", the article cannot be without a target. Therefore, Bao Yugang wants to know the deep reasons and see if he has overlooked something. Not only Bao Yugang, but Wu Guangzheng also raised his ears, wanting to know Xia Yu''s views and opinions, after all, this is too important! "Bao Sheng, I''m just going to make a mistake, and talk about my humble opinion, please don''t take it off if you don''t say it well!" Xia Yu said modestly. "Xia Sheng doesn''t have to be humble, please!" Bao Yugang said with a smile, then made a please gesture, and then made a listening gesture. "Actually, this article is right or wrong!" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzheng frowned. Without waiting for them to inquire, Xia Yu continued: "You should be very clear, Baosheng, that the shipping industry has cycles. Throughout the past hundreds of years, the cycle of prosperity and crisis of the shipping industry has basically occurred once every 10 years, repeating itself. And follow a very similar trajectory." Bao Yugang nodded in agreement. He knew this deeply. He had experienced it once before, and he has never remembered it! After World War II to the mid to late 1960s, the global shipping market''s boom and recession cycles were relatively short, and the entire shipping market was in a low and turbulent consolidation phase. Until 1967, when the Arab-Israeli war broke out and Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula, the Suez Canal became a forward position. The canal was closed for 8 years. Ships detouring the Suez Canal had to travel far to the Cape of Good Hope, which greatly stimulated Shipping business. In addition, in the late 1960s, world industrial trade was also in a period of prosperity. The volume of global maritime trade increased by leaps and bounds during this period, from 1.81 billion tons in 1966 to 3.23 billion tons in 1973, an increase of 78%. The global demand for ships is greater than the total demand in the past 20 years after World War II. Despite the rapid expansion of shipbuilding volume, the supply of capacity still exceeds demand, and the market is "difficult to find one ship." In an instant, the shipping industry became the most promising and profitable industry at the time, and banks have joined the shipping industry. Therefore, the late 1960s was also known as the golden age of the development of the global shipping market, but hidden dangers were buried. From 1970 to 1971, a second-hand ship was about 26 million US dollars, but by 1972 it rose to 61 million-73.5 million US dollars. It almost tripled. But in the summer of 1973, when the Fourth Middle East War broke out, the Arab member states of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided to impose an oil embargo on Israel and related countries, and greatly increased the price of crude oil, which caused the price of crude oil to more than double, which eventually triggered the global Sexual economic crisis. The decrease in demand for oil imports caused a heavy blow to oil transportation, one of the important components of shipping. Freight rates collapsed instantly. In December, the freight rate plummeted to around 80S, a drop of nearly 75%. In addition, rising oil prices intensified the global economic recession, which affected every corner of the shipping industry, including the dry bulk and container shipping markets, as well as the newbuilding and second-hand ship markets. After that, the shipping market entered a long period of recession and malaise. Although there was a short-term recovery and recovery during this period, the trend of recession has not been substantially eased. Freight is basically under the transportation cost. The tanker has been idle for more than 10 million DT, and the volume and price of second-hand ship transactions have also fallen. For example, the 200,000-ton class tanker built in 1970 was about 52 million US dollars in 1973, but fell by 1977 To 5 million US dollars, the decline was as high as 90% in less than 4 years. It can be said that the past few years have been very difficult, and Bao Yugang has also relied on his size advantage to reduce costs and survive and develop in this difficult environment. This cold winter allowed Bao Yugang to clearly recognize the situation of the world shipping market, and he was pessimistic about the future of shipping. He already had plans to go ashore. However, in this situation, the "Jiuding Daily" clearly stated that the winter of the shipping market has passed and spring is coming. How can this not make Bao Yugang feel shocked? "Bao Sheng, there are too many idle ships on the market now, whether it is a new ship or a second-hand ship, they are all waiting for someone to take over. In this case, it is difficult to raise the freight rate." "But Baosheng, you run all over the world all year round, especially passing through the Middle East. I don''t know how you feel about it?" Xia Yu asked suddenly. As soon as Bao Yugang''s eyes were fixed, he immediately understood Xia Yu''s potential meaning, and instead said, "You mean the Middle East is unstable?" "You should know better than me for this Baosheng. Now it is the US-Soviet hegemony. The Middle East is an important point of struggle, and it is also a bottomless quagmire. There are a pile of restless masters, and Israel is a shit. The stick is stirring the wind and the rain; Iraq is also ambitious. Other countries such as Iran and Arabia are not the masters of keeping their own feet. They have their own minds. However, this place is still the world''s oil heart, with intertwined interests. " "After World War II until now, have there been few wars in the Middle East? In case the Middle East fights againThe consequences can be imagined!" Xia Yu said slowly. "If this happens, wouldn''t the shipping market be even more miserable? How could it look up?" Wu Guangzheng looked at Xia Yu inexplicably and asked. Xia Yu did not say, but looked at Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang frowned for a while and said slowly: "No, it will rise. The Middle East is a dozen and the oil price rises. Tanker business is definitely not easy to do, but the world Factories everywhere can¡¯t stop. If they can¡¯t burn oil, they can burn more affordable coal. Then the business of coal ships will be very good.¡± "But it is more difficult to transport coal than oil, and the port will definitely be congested. With dry bulk cargo, it is very likely to rise!" "It''s just that this good scene will never last, and it will prosper for a few years at most!" Bao Yugang shook his head and said affirmatively. He didn''t say one more thing, that is, this can only be achieved under the premise that it happens. If the Middle East is not chaotic, even if it is a few years of prosperity, don''t think about it. "Yes, that''s why I said it was right or wrong. It will prosper, but it will prosper part of the market other than tankers, and it will not be prosperous for many years." "It''s just that I don''t have to let someone write it out. You should understand why, Baosheng." Xia Yu said calmly. Bao Yugang nodded to express understanding. Xia Yu wanted to use public opinion to influence the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Station. Naturally, he had to be as unfavorable as possible for air freight. Therefore, he could only talk about the good news about shipping, not the bad news. "Hey!" After Wu Guangzheng figured it out, he couldn''t help sighing. Bao Yu just glanced at him and didn''t say anything about him, because Bao Yugang knew why his son-in-law sighed. "Bao Sheng, take the liberty to ask, do you want to go ashore?" Xia Yu hesitated for a while before asking. As soon as Xia Yu said this, Bao Yugang pondered for a while, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I have this idea." Chapter 334: 4 major industries ?Haha, Bao Sheng, in the shipping industry, you have been on the throne of the world''s number one ship king, and it''s time to show your prowess in other industries. I would like to congratulate you on making money in advance! " Xia Yu laughed and praised. Kuangsha Literature Network Bao Yugang shook his head dumbly when he heard the words, "Xia Sheng, you are so good at talking, I was nervous at first, but now when I hear you, I feel a little ecstatic." "I never tell lies. That''s the truth. Among the vast majority of Chinese, who else can compare to you as the ship king?" Xia Yubiao said sincerely. "Don''t talk about this, if you listen to your praise, I will fly to the sky." Bao Yugang smiled and waved his hand to stop the topic, Xia Yu smiled and did not say more. Bao Yugang smiled slowly and filled Xia Yu¡¯s teacup. Xia Yu hurriedly said thank you, then took a sip from the teacup, and looked at Bao Yugang quietly. He saw that Bao Yugang seemed to have What important thing want to say. Sure enough, Bao Yu just took a sip of tea and put down the cup, he sighed and asked sincerely, "Xia Sheng, please come tonight, I have another request. I want you to give some advice." "Bao Sheng is polite, please speak!" Xia Yu was polite after hearing the words, and then sat upright, looking at him waiting. "Then I''ll say it bluntly." "The shipping market has already seen it. It is clearly a quagmire. I do want to smoke, but I haven''t decided which industry I will be involved in." "As for the degree of understanding of Xiangjiang and even the Southeast Asian market, you are the first to be recommended in Xiangjiang because you have a professional economic research office, and your "Economic Weekly" magazine has included market research and analysis. No one can compare it. " Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded calmly, complimenting him for accepting it with confidence, because this is a fact. In terms of business and economic research, Xiangjiang really cannot find a more professional company than his. Yes, the value of the sorted and analyzed data is immeasurable! Why is "Economic Weekly" magazine so popular? Really thought it was just a few ranking lists? Not! It is the information and articles revealed and analyzed based on these rankings, as well as those research and analysis articles on the current economic situation and the future economic situation and business environment. There is great value between the lines in an article, and even some data in it. It depends on whether the reader can discover and integrate the status quo, make full use of it, and use it to create wealth! Then Bao Yugang continued: "So Xia Sheng, can you give me some suggestions?" Seeing Bao Yugang''s solemn request, Xia Yu felt the sincere attitude of Bao Yugang. Of course he will not refuse, that is to say, it is a matter of licking his lips. If he can still get a Bao Yugang, is it owed to someone? And even if he doesn''t say it, Bao Yugang will still go ashore, and it is very likely that he will enter the real estate industry. So in this case, Xia Yu naturally said the more the better, and the more people were hired. Xia Yu nodded, thinking, Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzheng and his son-in-law waited quietly. After a long time, Xia Yu sorted out his thoughts, and he sat upright, Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzheng immediately refreshed and looked at him with bright eyes. "According to our company''s internal research data, among all the industries in Hong Kong, the top four industries that contribute to gdp are manufacturing, real estate, finance, and trade logistics." "The contribution of manufacturing to GDP exceeds 31%, and the manufacturing industry is mainly concentrated in the textile and garment industries. It can be said that it is the lifeblood of Hong Kong''s economy and will not decline in the next ten years." "The real estate industry has been growing rapidly over the years, but now the pattern is basically set. It is very difficult to rush in and become bigger and stronger. Unless the existing real estate giant is acquired, it is difficult to get ahead." "The financial industry has strong manufacturing support, and the prospects of the financial industry are amazing... It will not decline in the next 40 years. You have two financial and investment companies under Baosheng. You should have an intuitive feeling." "Finally is the trade logistics industry. Xiangjiang is uniquely positioned and backed by the mainland. It is the mainland''s window to the outside world. Whether it is in the Pacific or Indian Ocean regions, it must pass through Xiangjiang... So the prospects of the trade logistics industry are also good, and you are now If you step into this industry, you will have a huge advantage." "In other industries, although there are good ones, they are not suitable for Baosheng. After all, they are not as good as these four major industries, and there is less room for them to use them." "My opinion is probably that, Bao Sheng, you can see if it works." After speaking, Xia Yu let out a sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly. What Xia Yu said was really good stuff. You don¡¯t see that when he stabbed the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal in the newspaper, the newspaper article analyzed the impact of the decline in Xiangjiang¡¯s manufacturing industry on air freight, but that¡¯s a way of avoiding the importance of it, not mentioning it. The advantages only magnify the disadvantages. Although the proportion of GDP in the manufacturing industry has declined, the decline is very small. Combined with the analysis of Xiangjiang¡¯s economic growth rate, the scale actually increased. However, the article does not analyze this aspect, but seizes the year-on-year decline in the proportion. To focus on one point, the purpose is to guide public opinion. But when he spoke in front of Bao Yugang, Xia Yu said it truthfully, showing his sincerity. "Thank you Xia Sheng for the point!" Bao Yugang thanked Xia Yu for a while, and then contemplated it. He deeply agreed with Xia Yu''s opinions. In addition to Global Shipping Group, Bao Yugang has two companies in the financial industry, namely Global International Capital Co., Ltd. and Lufeng International Investment Company. They have been involved in securities and capital investment, but they are not deep. The development can only be said to be OK. It mainly uses its own resources and advantages to develop, which is not comparable to those extremely professional financial companies. But finance is the blood of social and commercial development. It is important. There is no doubt that Bao Yugang wants to get involved, but there is no such professional talent as Xia Yu. It is very difficult and there are many problems to develop fully. In the manufacturing industry, it is not bad to get together, but if you want to get involved, the competition is too great, and it is difficult to play to your own advantages. It is too difficult to catch up with the accumulation of others for decadesBao Yugang Don''t want to get involved. The remaining two industries, real estate and trade logistics, are both good industries, but for real estate, the span is too big for him. As Xia Yu said, if he wants to go ashore now, it will be too late from the beginning. He couldn''t wait so long. The only way is to acquire and annex, which is definitely difficult. As for the trade logistics industry, the shipping he is currently doing belongs to a sub-industry in the trade logistics industry. He knows the internal ways very well. Even in other sub-sectors such as air transportation, terminal operations, inland transportation, etc., he can Start quickly, and even use your own advantages to make a perfect transition and promote the rapid development of companies in new fields. "I was still interested in real estate, but now it seems that trade logistics and finance are not bad!" After Bao Yu just thought about it, he thought to himself. At the same time, his impression of Xia Yu rose sharply in his heart, and he had to say that Xia Yu was really giving him suggestions with all his heart, and he could fully feel his sincere attitude. bq Chapter 335: Whim ?Xia Sheng, thank you for your suggestion, I will use tea instead of wine, to you! " Bao Yugang smiled heartily, filled Xia Yu''s cup, and then said with a smile. Kuangsha Literature Network "please!" The two smiled and drank the tea in the toast. After putting it down, Wu Guangzheng immediately poured tea for them. "Bao Sheng, I hope my advice is useful to you. If the future is useful to me, I will try my best to do what I can." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Well, then, I will never be polite to you!" Bao Yugang did not refuse, he responded with all his mouth and made up his mind. If Xia Yu asked for something, he would do his best to help. Then, the atmosphere became much stronger, and the three chatted together. Of course, the topics of the chat basically revolved around business and economics, and rarely involved other things. This is also normal. If three capitalists sit together and don''t talk about business topics, can they still talk about entertainment and gossip? While talking, Bao Yugang suddenly said with emotion: "Xia Sheng, if you are courageous, you can rank in the top three in Xiangjiang!" Xia Yu smiled. He knew that Bao Yugang was referring to his acquisition of Yihe, and he did not deny it, but touted it: "Bao Sheng praised it. If I speak of courage, I can''t compare to you. It¡¯s better than the average person." "Hey, why should Xia Sheng be self-effacing? How many people in Hong Kong coveted British-funded enterprises. They were afraid of the power and did not dare to move. They only dared to engage in small actions secretly, which made people laugh. "On the contrary, you are Xia Sheng. You dared to take the Qingzhou Yingni Company at the time of your rise. You made hundreds of millions of assets in the first battle and greatly increased our Chinese personality. Don¡¯t you know that at that time your reputation spread throughout Xiangjiang, no matter what. At the cocktail party, it is indispensable to talk about your legendary deeds." "It''s interesting to say, I didn''t know you until then." "It''s even more serious now. I directly initiated an acquisition of the core enterprise of the Jardine Consortium, and the chance of winning is still very high. Now all Chinese businessmen can focus on you, just waiting for your triumphant day!" "Dare to work with Yihe Ming, and now the entire Xiangjiang can''t find anyone else, who dares to say that you are more courageous than you?" Bao Yugang said in admiration, his tone is beyond doubt. "Hehe, I should actually say that I don''t know how high the sky is." Xia Yu said modestly. "Xia Sheng, you are here, you should say that you are planning to move later. How can you say that you don''t know the heights of the sky?" "By the way, Xia Sheng, you are optimistic about the Xiangjiang trade and logistics industry. If you want to make a big splash in the air transport industry, then I will not compete with you, and I cannot compete with you." Bao Yugang said with a smile. While speaking, he also had this plan in his heart. Even if he wanted to get involved in the logistics industry later, he would not enter the air transport industry to compete with Xia Yu. Let alone the issue of human relations, there is no barrier to entry in the air freight market alone. The air freight market has been designated by the Hong Kong government and handed over to Jardine Air Cargo Station. It has been monopolized by it, and others cannot enter if they want to enter. Of course, if some methods are used, the Hong Kong government can still appoint a second operator, but Bao Yugang does not need to do so at all. The gains outweigh the losses, and there is no other industry to enter except for the air transport industry. There are more lucrative industries! Seeing Bao Yugang''s sincere smile, Xia Yu almost wanted to say that he did not want to enter the air transport industry, but just wanted to attack the Jardine Consortium. Suddenly, a thought came to Xia Yu''s mind, and then he grew wildly like weeds, his eyes brighter and brighter. Looking at Xia Yu¡¯s bright eyes and mysterious smile, Bao Yugang was a little confused, and then heard Xia Yu say: ¡°Bao Sheng, Jardine Air Cargo Station has the exclusive monopoly on the air freight market, and Xiangjiang is uniquely positioned for future air freight The market prospects are very good, I wonder if you are interested?" Bao Yugang was taken aback, looked at Xia Yu unexpectedly, and asked incomprehensibly: "Xia Sheng, do you mean I have the honor to participate in a share?" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, and when Bao Yugang was more puzzled, he said something that shocked him: "It''s not a share, but it''s all for you. I wonder if you are not interested?" "Give it to me?" Bao Yugang''s eyes condensed, and Xia Yu stared at each other for a few seconds, and then he felt a flash of light flashing in his mind, and he understood everything in an instant. After thinking about it, Bao Yugang shook his head dumbfoundedly, and said with a sigh: "Xia Sheng, it seems that all of us have been deceived by you. Admire it! Admire it!" Xia Yu smiled and explained: "Bao Sheng, in fact, Jardine Air Cargo Station is an optional goal for me. Although the prospects are good, I don''t have so much energy and strength to get involved. If you If you are interested, I can transfer it to you if the fertilizer does not flow out of the field." "Interested, of course interested!" Upon hearing this, Bao Yugang said without hesitation. He hadn''t paid much attention to the air transport market before, but after Xia Yuyi''s analysis, he discovered that he had subconsciously ignored this sunrise industry. In other words, because he was monopolized by the Jardine Consortium, he didn''t think about it, which doesn''t mean that the industry is not good. As the saying goes, monopoly is huge profits. I have never seen a business that will lose money after being monopolized. If it is monopolized, it will lose money. This is not a market problem, but the operator is a fool. Now that Jardine Air Cargo has a monopoly on the air cargo industry, it is certain to make money. How could he not be interested in such a good company? "Okay, Baosheng, now I own 36.7% of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company. If you want, you can transfer it to you, and our company can help you complete the acquisition. I dare not say anything, but there are I dare to pack a vote. Tomorrow, I can definitely increase the equity to more than 40%, surpassing Jardine Pacific and becoming the largest shareholder!" Xia Yu said confidently. "Well, since Xia Sheng is so refreshing, I can''t take advantage of you. Today''s closing price is 20 Hong Kong dollars. Then I will pay a 50% premium to buy Xia Sheng''s stock in your hands at 30 Hong Kong dollars, and entrust you to help me continue the purchase. How much to buy, all sold to me at a price of 30 Hong Kong dollars, if it exceeds 30 Hong Kong dollars, I will give you 20% of the labor fee!" Bao Yugang shouted, waved his hand, and said boldly. When Xia Yu heard this, he smiled immediately, but he didn''t want to leave Bao Yugang with a greedy impression. He shook his head and said, "Bao Sheng, 50% premium is not necessary. Cut it in half. I will give you 25 Hong Kong dollars. At this price." Transferring the stock to Bao Yugang was originally a whim, so Xia Yu didn''t want to take Bao Yugang''s advantage. According to the situation, the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Station was about 25 Hong Kong dollars. He wanted to sell it to Kai. The Serk family almost talked about this price, so he didn''t count as a disadvantage. Given his limited strength, Xia Yu would definitely give priority to choosing more profitable companies. It is impossible not to let go of them. Otherwise, he would die by himself. Selling the Jardine Air Cargo Station that he didn''t need to Bao Yugang weakened the strength of the Jardine Consortium and increased the strength of Chinese capital. While making money, Bao Yugang owed him a big man. Compared to the original plan, he still made money! Of course, there is another reason, that is, according to the historical trajectory, Wharf was originally acquired by Bao Yugang, but now it is definitely impossible. Xia Yu will not let go. Instead, he grabbed Bao Yugang¡¯s opportunity. , Now the transfer of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company to Bao Yugang is a kind of compensation for him. Although Bao Yugang didn''t know all of this, Xia Yu had passed that hurdle in his heart. Xia Yu wanted to give Bao Yugang a little cheaper, but Bao Yugang had a different view. He thought that Xia Yu would transfer the Jardine Air Cargo Station to him and help him purchase it is already a great favor, giving Xia Yu 30 Hong Kong dollars. The price is exactly what it should be. Comparing heart to heart, Xia Yu is so majestic, he is not a stingy person to cover the sea! "Needless to say Xia Sheng, the price is 30 Hong Kong dollars, and the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company is totally worth the price. If you refuse any more, you will just hit my **** in the face!" Bao Yugang said decisively, with a very serious attitude. After looking at Bao Yugang for two seconds, Xia Yu nodded heavily and said thankfully, "Then I will be brazen." Next, Xia Yu and Bao Yugang talked about the handover process. Tomorrow Bao Yugang will go to Xia Yu¡¯s company to sign the contract and entrust Xia Yu to help him with the acquisition, and he will make the money at the earliest and three days at the latest. All paid off. "Bao Sheng, happy cooperation!" After setting the tone, Xia Yu and Bao Yugang shook hands. "Xia Sheng, Daen doesn''t say thank you, I remember this person in my heart! In the future wherever I can be used, even if I speak, Bao Yugang will never frown!" Bao Yugang shook hands with Xia Yu, solemnly promised. Later, when it was getting late, Xia Yu proposed the idea of ??leaving. Bao Yugang and his family personally sent Xia Yu into the car and waved his hands to watch Xia Yu leave. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s car disappearing from sight, Wu Guangzheng never said anything. He was suffocated and said to Bao Yugang: ¡°Dad, Xia Yu was supposed to attack and blackmail the Jardine Consortium. Now he transfers the company to We, we have to put pressure on him." Bao Yugang glanced at his son-in-law, then looked in the direction Xia Yu had left, and said lightly: "These are not important, what is important is do you think it is worth buying this company?" Wu Guangzheng thought for a while and nodded heavily: "Value!" "That won''t be the case. Moreover, Xia Sheng can not sell it to us at all, or sell it back to the Keswick family. Now he will sell it to us, just to help us, this grace must not be forgotten!" "And we should help him with the pressure, because the company will indeed come into our hands, Xia Yu is not afraid of the power of Yihe at a young age, if I am afraid, then I will live in vain!" Bao Yugang said. Wu Guangzheng nodded in default. "Well, don''t think about so many miscellaneous things that are useless. We should be happy and arrange to mobilize funds as soon as possible to call Xia Sheng as soon as possible to avoid affecting his actions. UU reading " Bao Yugang told his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. "Okay, I''ll make arrangements later." Wu Guangzheng said respectfully. Once again, I took a deep look at the direction Xia Yu left. I recalled the scene when I was talking with Xia Yu tonight. Xia Yu¡¯s calm performance, broad knowledge and overall outlook gave Bao Yugang a deep impression. impression. For a long time, he sighed with emotion: "The younger generation is terrible, courageous and intent, Xia Sheng is an unworldly genius in business!" Hearing such a high evaluation from his father-in-law to Xia Yu, Wu Guangzheng was shocked, but at the same time he recalled everything about Xia Yu, and finally found silently that it was really the case. "People are more popular than others, they can''t be compared to... can''t be compared to..." Wu Guangzheng expressed infinite emotion deep in his heart. bq ~: Update tomorrow daytime, don’t wait ?According to the habit, the update on the 6th is around 1-2 o''clock in the morning of the same day, but it is rare to go home on holiday tonight. I rode a motorbike seventeen eight miles back in the rain at six o''clock in the evening, blowing fever, and my mind is dizzy. Yes, it took more than two hours to write a thousand words while sitting in front of the computer. I fell ill five or six days ago, my body is too bad, I am allergic to penicillin, and the medicine is not effective. I did not get better after seeing it twice. I went to see it for the third time this morning, and I had a fever when I said it was good. , I can¡¯t help this. I haven¡¯t been sick for half a year, and now it¡¯s just at the node of my sick cycle. I can¡¯t avoid it, ¨s©n¨t Take a good night''s rest and write again tomorrow day when your mind is awake. Please forgive me! "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will be updated tomorrow day. Don¡¯t wait any longer. Please wait for a while. After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! Chapter 336: Happy cooperation ? "Hoo~" In the car, Xia Yu let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his mind was sublimated, and he was happy, and the corners of his mouth were suddenly curved. Feeling the change of her lover around her, Li Qian raised her head slightly on Xia Yu''s shoulder, and asked softly, "Xia Yu, what''s wrong? What makes you so happy?" Seeing Li Qian''s curious eyes, Xia Yu gently kissed her forehead and said softly: "It''s nothing, it''s just a deal." "Oh!" Li Qian nodded and stopped asking, she continued to lean on Xia Yu''s shoulder and feel Xia Yu''s heartbeat. Gently stroking Li Qian''s back, Xia Yu''s eyes became blurred, and his thoughts flew out of the sky. In fact, Xia Yu is happy. Of course, on the one hand, it is because he made a lot of money by doing a business, and he also won the favor of Bao Yugang at one fell swoop, and weakened the strength of the British consortium, but the most important thing is that he feels comfortable. Up. As the saying goes, it''s hard for a daughter to buy happiness, and Xia Yu''s current state has responded to this sentence. In the entire Xiangjiang, if there are people who admire him most from the heart, Xia Yu will say that there are two, namely Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang. Huo Yingdong is the most determined red capitalist and a famous patriot. During the Anti-U.S. Aid Korea, when Western countries imposed a comprehensive embargo on the mainland and the British Hong Kong authorities used force to "smuggle", Huo Yingdong organized a large-scale fleet in Hong Kong, transported a large amount of urgently needed supplies to the motherland, and strongly supported the Anti-U.S. Aid Korea . And at the beginning of the reform and opening up, when others were terrified of the mainland, he was the first to invest in the mainland, and he ran around to contact Chinese businessmen to contribute to the rise of the motherland. He also spared no effort to support the country¡¯s sports undertakings. With vigorous running and active efforts, China has regained its seat in the Asian Football Federation, with countless similar moves. In terms of charity, he is also very generous, donating billions of Hong Kong dollars in his lifetime, and through sole proprietorship, joint ventures, donations, low-interest loans, etc., he has built hundreds of projects in the Mainland, with a total expenditure of more than 9 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, in order to support the mainland, he has also become a thorn in the eyes of the British Hong Kong government and suffered various suppressions, but he still supports the mainland with a clear-cut stand. Otherwise, with his ability, he might not be worse than the later Li Jiacheng. It can be said that Hong Kong and Macao, and even expanded to the southeast and other places, the most patriotic businessman is Huo Yingdong. Since his rebirth, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong have met several times, and occasionally talked with each other, and they are considered friends. And Bao Yugang is not bad. He runs a university in his hometown of Ningbo, builds a port, and generously donates to the motherland¡¯s education, medical and health services. During the country¡¯s reform and opening up, he gave the country firm and strong support. Run to contribute to the reunification of the motherland. It is a pity that Bao Yugang does not live as long as Huo Yingdong, otherwise his contribution will be more, and his career will not be worse than Li Jiacheng. You must know that in 1985, Bao Yugang''s wealth was nine times that of Li Jiacheng. On the basis of not bad ability, step by step, Li Jiacheng wants to surpass him, it is very difficult! Having said that, Xia Yu''s heart is full of admiration for the patriotic Chinese in Xiangjiang in his previous life. Even after being reborn in this life, the more he understands this era, his admiration will increase instead of decreasing. If possible, Xia Yu certainly hopes that patriotic Chinese such as Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are as strong as possible, which means that their contribution to the motherland will be greater. But for his own development, he had to grab the Wharf and take away the opportunity that originally belonged to Bao Yugang. Although he used to persuade himself on the grounds that "the interests of capitalists are paramount," he was still wrapped in an invisible shackle deep in his heart. After all, robbing good people is different from robbing bad people or ordinary people. If it were to grab something from a pure capitalist like Li Jiacheng, Xia Yu could have no scruples, even grabbing it inch by inch, no matter how much he grabbed, he wouldn''t be burdened. But the opportunity to grab Bao Yugang was still a major opportunity like a carp turning into a dragon. It was impossible to say that Xia Yu had no obstacles in his heart. Because of the absence of Wharf, Bao Yugang¡¯s future is unpredictable. Even if his ability is not bad, he may not be able to meet this great opportunity of the times to transform, and he will most likely not develop to the height of his previous life. , Lack of strength, the help to the country and the people may also be less. But let Xia Yu not grab the Wharf, or try to help Bao Yugang, that is impossible, he is not the Virgin either. He can only say that he can help others without harming his own interests, and the well-being of others is just as it is tonight. As long as there is a monopolistic air transport market, Bao Yugang will walk on two legs, and this leg is still harder than shipping, because the shipping market still has three competitive opponents from Xiangjiang¡¯s Cao family, Dong family, and Zhao family. The Patriarch of the Dong family also rushed into the world''s top ten ship kings. With the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, Bao Yugang was also considered ashore. No, he flew directly into the sky. The ship king became the empty king. Xia Yu played an important role in this, and it was also considered a good talk. The foundation, Xia Yu, was given to Bao Yugang. How to develop in the future and whether he can recreate glory to reach or exceed the height of his previous life is Bao Yugang''s own business, and the future will be discussed later. As for Xia Yu, he has passed the hurdle in his heart and will no longer have any knots in his heart from now on. "The charter king, good luck to you!" Xia Yu retracted his mind and blessed secretly in his heart. ... After going back, Xia Yu immediately called Wang Qi. After listening to Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qi at home didn''t need to mention how his heart was shaken. Anyway, he was thinking about preparations for the equity transfer arranged by Xia Yu. Early the next morning, Bao Yugang took his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng and his lawyer into the Jiuding Financial Building in a low-key manner. "Bao Sheng, Wu Sheng, good morning!" "Xia Sheng, Wang Sheng, good morning!" The two parties shook hands and greeted each other, and after a few greetings, they went straight to the subject. "Look at you, this is our prepared contract, and there is a proof of equity." The two parties sat face to face. After the employees had tea, Xia Yu gave Wang Qi a signal. Wang Qi immediately took out the prepared contract and materials and pushed them to Bao Yugang and the others. "Thank you!" After thanking Bao Yu just glanced at the equity certificate and stopped looking at it. He knew it couldn¡¯t be faked, and then he gave the contract to the third-party lawyer he hired and chatted with Xia Yu. . Time passed as the two talked about each other, and the lawyer Bao Yugang hired carefully read each clause. For a long time, the lawyer handed over the contract to Bao Yugang respectfully. Seeing everyone''s eyes on him, he spoke clearly to Bao Yugang: "Bao Sheng, there is no problem, the contract is fair." Everyone smiled when he said this. "Xia Sheng, it''s okay, now you can sign the contract." Bao Yugang said with a smile, the key to the talk was discussed last night, and this morning it was a normal process. "please!" Bao Yugang reopened the contract and solemnly signed his name on it. Chapter 337: How to make 400 million After signing the contract, Bao Yugang was not vague, and directly proposed to HSBC Bank to transfer the funds on-site. The funds were all ready. This was beyond Xia Yu''s expectation. You must know that this is not a small sum, but a capital of six billion, but Bao Yugang actually took it out overnight, which is terrifying! However, Xia Yu didn''t bother to think so much. The point is that the money can be obtained right away. Of course he will not rush, and he took the people to HSBC Bank with Bao Yugang and transferred the money to the account designated by Xia Yu. Once the money arrived, everything settled. "Xia Sheng, please continue to help me buy stocks." Bao Yugang shook hands with Xia Yu and said. "This is simple, Bao Sheng is so generous, I think I want to go all out!" Xia Yu said with a smile. After the purchase price is less than 30 Hong Kong dollars, they are sold to Bao Yugang at a price of 30 Hong Kong dollars per share. Even if the purchase price exceeds 30 Hong Kong dollars, there is a 20% commission. Such a good thing, how could Xia Yu give up! After returning, Wang Qi congratulated Xia Yu: "Congratulations boss!" "Haha!" Xia Yu laughed, and then said: "It is worthy of joy to be successful, but the more important thing is still to come, work harder, and I will wrap you a big red envelope at that time." "Boss rest assured, I will do my best!" Wang Qi nodded heavily and said, but the smile on his face couldn''t conceal it completely, and he was expecting how many big red envelopes the boss had always said. In this transaction, Xia Yuhao earned 400 million. At the close of the market yesterday, Xia Yu owned 36.7% of the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, but in the evening and early in the morning, through hard work, he acquired 3.6% of the shares from two small shareholders, which is as much as 40.3% today. . 40.3% of the equity, a total of 20.5 million shares, most of which were acquired at a price below 10 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the total cost of 20.5 million shares was 196 million Hong Kong dollars. However, Xia Yu sold it to Bao Yugang at a price of 30 Hong Kong dollars per share, and sold for 604.5 million Hong Kong dollars. So at the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, Xia Yu earned a profit of HK$408.5 million, twice the profit, which is extremely amazing! And this is not the end! The stock was sold to Bao Yugang. Instead of selling it to the Keswick family as planned, Xia Yu didn¡¯t have to worry about overtaking the equity of Jardine Pacific and causing Keswick family¡¯s suspicion. Naturally, he no longer flinched and could do his best to acquire the stock. . In this case, Xia Yu is still confident that he will acquire at least 5% of the stock and resell it to Bao Yugang, which will definitely make a lot of money. "Ring Ling Ling..." Just when Xia Yu was happy, the phone in the room rang, and Wang Qi walked over to connect. "Hey¡­¡­" After Wang Qi answered the phone, he frowned, then quickly covered the microphone, and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, it''s the Keswick family." Wang Qi didn''t say anything else, but Xia Yu knew what it meant right away. What else can the Keswick family contact for? Isn''t it just for stocks? Xia Yu shook his head and said: "Drag, test them." Wang Qi nodded and quickly released his hand to continue the conversation. "..." Not long after, Wang Qi hung up the phone and quickly walked to Xia Yu to report: "Boss, the caller is Charles Keswick. He wanted to talk to us, but I refused." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Don''t care about them, now we don''t have any stocks in our hands, and it''s useless to talk about it. They will naturally understand when the late news comes out." "Go ahead, before the news spreads, hurry up and buy the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company." Xia Yu''s smile receded and exhorted. When I came back just now, it was already 10 o''clock. It was already after the opening time of 9:30. The shares of Jardine Air Cargo Station still jumped at the opening, reaching 21.5 Hong Kong dollars per share, and then rapidly rising to 22.4 Hong Kong dollars per share. share. And the upward trend is still obvious, obviously the two sides bid very fiercely. If the news that Bao Yu has just become the largest shareholder goes out, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the stock market, and the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Station will definitely skyrocket. If you want it to fall, there is only one way, and that is to determine the outcome of the battle, and the stock price will naturally fall. "Yes!" After Wang Qi responded, he immediately went down to arrange specific acquisitions. After Xia Yu stayed in the office for a while, he came to the building next door. He wanted to see how many shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group had been acquired, and to see when the second acquisition war started. Coming to the inside of the building, there was a busy scene, and all the employees were working hard. Xia Yu found Li De, the fifth group leader, and Liu Xiao, the sixth group leader in charge of Jardine Insurance. "How are the two groups of you? How many stocks have you acquired?" Xia Yu crossed his fingers and asked in a relaxed posture. Li De and Liu Xiao looked at each other, and then Li De took the lead in reporting and respectfully said: "Boss, our team has acquired 7.62 million shares, accounting for 12.7% of the total." Xia Yu nodded and set his eyes on Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao calmly reported: "Boss, our group has acquired a total of 8.7 million shares, a total of 14.5%." Xia Yu condensed his eyes and looked at Liu Xiao again, smilingly praised: "Very good!" "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Hearing Xia Yu''s praise, Liu Xiao bowed slightly and thanked him, his face still calm, without a complacent expression, everything seemed to be taken for granted. Looking at Li De next to him, after hearing Xia Yu''s praise to Liu Xiao, his face was a little hot, and he couldn''t help clenching his fist, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart. It was also a covert acquisition. Liu Xiao acquired more, which means he operated faster than him, and the level of ability was reflected. Of course, Li De was embarrassed. "How is the acquisition difficulty now?" Xia Yu continued to ask. The two groups of secret purchases together already have 27.2% of the shares, and Jardine Holdings is the largest shareholder of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, owning exactly 30% of the shares. This 30% of the shares will not flow to the stock market. of. The second largest shareholder is Huafeng Investment Co., Ltd., which owns 10% of the equity. The Huafeng investment company Xia Yu is very clear that it is the shell of the Wu family. Now in the hands of Wu Hongyi, this 10% of the equity belongs to Wu Hongyi. It has been determined that it is impossible to flow to the stock market. In addition, there are three shareholders with a ratio of more than 5%, and the total share is 18.3%. With this calculation, plus Xia Yu secretly, the total equity in the hands of the top six shareholders has reached 85.5%. The remaining 14.5% of the equity is scattered among retail investors and small shareholders. In this way, if you want to continue to buy stocks in the stock market, the difficulty can be imagined! Because of this, Xia Yu asked them such questions. "Boss, it is very difficult to acquire. Now there are very few stocks that will flow to the stock market Yesterday¡¯s turnover was only less than one-fifth of what we did when we first started secret purchases, and they were all acquired by us. of." Liu Xiao reports truthfully. Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and directly ordered: "You continue to scan the stock market, remember to control the stock price, you don''t need to worry about the rest." "Ok!" Liu Xiao and Li De nodded in response. Then, Xia Yu sent the two of them away. After pondering for a while, his eyes became firm and he muttered: "It''s time. As long as I take 18.3% of the shares in the three shareholders, I will have 45.5 in my hands. % Of equity, Wu Hongyi is absolutely on my side, and the total voting rights are 55.5%, which is enough!" "However, for the sake of insurance, I still purchase the shares of the three major shareholders and other small shareholders at the same time. If I can achieve 50% of the equity, I will be foolproof and it will be more convenient to act!" Xia Yu is a proper activist. After thinking about it, Xia Yu acted immediately. Chapter 338: Old John was frightened ? Let¡¯s talk about the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, when Wang Qi refused and hung up the phone, Charles Keswick was taken aback and then furious. "Shit!" Charles Keswick couldn''t help yelling, and Patton Hardman, who was looking forward to the side, saw Charles''s performance, his heart sank to the bottom. "Charles, now we are really in danger, we must find a way as soon as possible!" When Charles Keswick finished his vent and calmed down, Patton Hardman reminded him with a sullen face. Upon hearing this, Charles Keswick clenched his teeth and the veins in his temples burst. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and his eyes became cold. Not only was he annoyed that Wang Qi rejected him, but he was also angry that the shareholders of the company could not be contacted one by one. When they first called, they were still answered, and no one answered the phone later. What this means, Charles Keswick is very clear, it is precisely because of this that he is angry and even panicked. Because, except for the stocks in the hands of one of the closest shareholders, he has not acquired any stocks in the hands of other small and medium shareholders. After calculating from the bottom of his heart, Charles Keswick discovered in a panic that Xia Yu¡¯s shareholding ratio may have exceeded Jardine Pacific. With this discovery, he couldn''t sit still immediately, and only then did he call Jiuding Securities Company. The situation was critical and he had to talk first, and drag Xia Yu and the others. But obviously, Jiuding Securities is not a bird, and it doesn''t give him any face. "In this case, we can only increase the purchase price!" After making up his mind, Charles Keswick resolutely said: "Barton, I beg you, go to the stock market at any cost to grab stocks, we bid 2 Hong Kong dollars higher than the other party, I can''t and they will continue to follow!" "Insufficient funds, I will find a way!" "Ok!" Barton Hardman nodded in response. Although Patton Hardman is the CEO of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and his status is higher than Charles Keswick, his other identity is an employee of Jardine Pacific, and Jardine Pacific is wholly-owned by the Keswick family. , So Patton Hardman will seriously implement Charles Keswick¡¯s orders and opinions. When Patton Hardman left in a hurry, Charles Keswick walked back and forth two times with a sullen face, feeling a depression in his heart. A stern look flashed in his eyes, he came to the table, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of the head office of the Press and Publication Administration of the Hong Kong Government. "Hey, I¡¯m Charles Keswick, Mr. Abel. I want to ask you for help. Please deal with the case of Sing Tao News Group¡¯s sales fraud. There is one thing I want to respond to. I heard Jiuding Newspaper Company also has the problem of fraudulent sales..." After hanging up the phone, Charles Keswick¡¯s face did not improve much, because during the call just now, Abel fully agreed to investigate the case of Sing Tao News Group, but he was hesitant to the Jiuding News Corporation. He may not be willing to help if he wants to. Charles Keswick also knew what an official like Abel was afraid of, but he knew that Gui knew that when he was angry, his reason would always be affected by emotions, and he felt a little dissatisfied. But he couldn''t accuse Abel. After all, Abel and his father are good friends, but not with him. Abel is not a vassal of the Keswick family, and it is impossible for him to bet on his future. "If you don''t want to see me, then I will force you to see!" Charles Keswick murmured bitterly. After that, he thought for a while and rushed to the family again. According to the current stock price, 100 million funds are not enough to acquire enough stocks. He still needs a large amount of funds. And bad things may happen, you must also report to your father and ask him for advice. ... After returning to the family, Charles Keswick stood respectfully by his father, Old John, and lowered his head to report the situation. Old John listened carefully to his son''s words with Shen Rushui. After thinking for a few seconds, he calmly said: "This Chinese kid really thinks we''re going to eat us! Humph! You too!" "Don''t be entangled with the other party. The purchase price will increase by 5 Hong Kong dollars. You must grab enough stocks. I will settle the funds!" Just after Old John finished speaking, Charles Keswick breathed a sigh of relief and just wanted to answer when the phone rang. This time, without Old John reminding him, Charles Keswick answered the phone consciously. Just after hearing it for a few seconds, Charles Keswick was shocked and exclaimed: "What! How could it be possible!" Seeing such inferior performance by his son, Old John couldn''t help frowning, and a feeling of misfortune rose in his heart. He stood up and walked to the phone and took the call from his son. "what happened?" Old John asked in a deep voice. "What? Okay, I get it!" "Dudu..." Hearing the news reported on the phone, Old John could no longer remain calm, his face trembled, and he took a deep breath, his eyes gloomy and terrible. After hanging up the phone, Charles Keswick hurriedly asked: "Father, that **** Chinese boy sold the stock to Bao Yugang. Now it has 40.3%, which is already more than our family!" "be quiet!" Old John frowned and shouted angrily, Charles Keswick shut up immediately, lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to speak, but his face was still full of anxiety. Not only Charles Keswick was annoying, but Old John also felt a headache. This is definitely bad news! Things get more tricky! The news came from his subordinates just now that Xia Yu sold all the stocks in his hands to Bao Yugang, and the total number of shares reached 40.3%, directly surpassing the Keswick family¡¯s Jardine Pacific, becoming the largest shareholder! Bao Yugang is not comparable to Xia Yu, whether it is strength, connections or influence, Bao Yugang is much higher than Xia Yu. Old John and Bao Yugang are people of the same age. The two have had a lot of dealings. Old John is very clear about Bao Yugang''s ability, and he is definitely not inferior to him. He is an elite among the elite, and his son will definitely not match him. . If the shares were originally in Xia Yu''s hands, Old John still had a chance to find a way to get the shares, but now they are in Bao Yugang''s hands, then the difficulty will be greater. Xia Yu''s change of hands gave him a big problem! Just as the old John raised his eyebrows to think about how to deal with it, Bao Yugang took over the stocks of Jiuding Securities¡¯ Yinhe Active and became the largest shareholder of Jardine Air Cargo Station. The news is like a hurricane The speed swept the entire Hong Kong stock market and spread to other areas at an incredible speed. "Great news, the ship king has come ashore!" "Stock God and Ship King team up VS Jardine Consortium!" "The battle for the stock market has escalated again, and the excitement continues!" "..." Amidst the hustle and bustle, the share price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company continues to soar. The phone calls of the Global Shipping Group and Bao Yugang''s home were also blown up immediately, and the big figures in Xiangjiang called to greet and ask about the situation. It''s a pity that Bao Yugang has no thought and time to answer the phone. He also deeply understands the importance of time, and it is of great benefit to him to tell the winners and losers early, so after transferring the money to Xia Yu, Bao Yugang immediately used energy and contacts to purchase stocks, striving to increase his shareholding to more than 50%! Chapter 339: Conquer it! ? "...Okay, thank you very much, next time I have a chance to come and drink tea... well, bye!" After hanging up the phone, the smile on Xia Yu''s face narrowed, his eyes became sharp, and he sneered: "It seems that the opponent hasn''t panicked yet, and there is still a leisurely way to use shameful means, ha ha!" The caller was Martin, the second-in-command of the Xiangjiang Press and Publication Administration, who had a relationship with Xia Yu, and he was also a shareholder of Evergreen No. 1 Fund. Benefits are the best relationship bond. The role of Evergreen No. 1 Fund has begun to emerge! No, when Charles Keswick was preparing for Xia Yu, Martin, the second-in-command at the Press and Publication Administration, immediately called Xia Yu to betray him and told Xia Yu that he also patted his chest and said he would take care of Xia Yu. One or two, the potential meaning is obvious, that is, it will check and balance the top leader Abel, help Xia Yu, and will not cause trouble to Sing Tao News Corporation. In each government department, it is difficult for the first and second leaders to come together, or even the opposite. This is a common problem. This is the case inside the Press and Publication Administration. Martin and No. 1 Abel are old enemies. Although he is the second child and is often controlled by Abel, it does not mean that he has no strength. There are still many of his people in the agency, who are competing with Abel. One or two can still be done. Now that he is doing what he usually does and can earn Xia Yu''s favor, of course he is happy to do it. However, although Martin took the initiative to take care of the matter, Xia Yu just watched without interrupting. Isn''t Charles Keswick still thinking about conspiracy? Then let him be overwhelmed with no time to look after him! Want to catch Xia Yu''s handle and threaten him, Xia Yu intends to let Charles Keswick taste it! "Accelerate the acquisition of Jardine Insurance''s stock, and then give him a fatal blow!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. The whole day was spent in turmoil, no matter how the hustle and bustle outside, Xia Yu still planned step by step. The next day came in a blink of an eye. Early in the morning, various newspapers were distributed to every corner of the city. Interested people bought the newspapers immediately, looking for all kinds of news about the acquisition battle of the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal. "The attack of the Chinese consortium!" "The peak showdown! The sixth richest man VS the first richest man!" "An in-depth interpretation of the value of the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and why it has been followed by the **** of stock and the ship king one after another!" "The strength of the Chinese richest man, the ship king paid 600 million Hong Kong dollars overnight!" "The stock **** Xia Yu earned 400 million in profit in the first battle, and he deserves the name of the stock god!" "The Galaxy Fund is a blockbuster, and it will show you the hidden secrets behind the Galaxy Fund!" ... The hot spots in various commercial and financial newspapers are all news about the acquisition war of Jardine Air Cargo Station. Other livelihood hotspot newspapers also have a lot of space. It seems that the whole Hong Kong is talking about this early in the morning. The major newspapers also tried their best to attract readers, racking their brains to extract all kinds of extremely attractive headlines, aiming to stand out in all news. But no matter how hard other newspapers have tried, they still can''t compare with the gains of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Which newspaper can get more professional news and inside information than Jiuding Newspaper Company? The answer is no! In order to obtain first-hand news and insider information, readers like cats scratching their hearts flock to buy newspapers owned by Jiuding Newspaper Company, especially the "Jiuding Daily" and the English version of the South China Morning Post. Even Chinese across Southeast Asia are paying attention to this event of great significance, buying newspapers owned by Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. for information. According to statistics on the second day, the latest daily sales of "Jiuding Daily" reached 1.3 million copies, and the sales of other newspapers also increased to varying degrees. The sudden surprise made Yan Wenhan overjoyed. After thinking about it, he immediately asked his boss Xia Yu for instructions, requesting that during the implementation of the stock market sniper war plan, the information that could be revealed should be given to Jiuding Newspaper as soon as possible. The newspapers under its banner made a good comeback and took advantage of the momentum to increase their authority and sales. Xia Yu naturally agreed to this request without hesitation. ... While Xia Yu was sharpening his knife in secret, the battle for the Yihe Air Cargo Terminal was still going on intensely. Although the ship king is old, his acting style is as bold as ever. Bao Yugang publicly issued a tender offer to Jardine Pacific for the first time and held a board of directors as the largest shareholder. At the meeting, he proposed to the gloomy Charles Keswick to acquire equity, but Charles Keswick strongly rejected it. . After being rejected, Bao Yugang didn''t care, and decisively applied to the Securities Regulatory Commission for the company''s suspension of trading, and then began to attack his heart, swearing his determination to win. 40.9%! 41.8%! 43.6%! 45.7%! Every once in a while, Bao Yugang announced his shareholding amount, putting pressure on the Keswick family again and again, and each announcement was like a slap in the face of the Keswick family, making Charles Kaiser Ke was so angry that Old John looked gloomy. Bao Yugang is bold in his actions, coupled with his extensive network and strong strength, many people are willing to hold tightly in their hands the stocks they don''t want to sell to sell him personally. What''s more, this battle has been portrayed by the media as a representative battle for Chinese capital to charge against British capital. When Xia Yu fought with the Keswick family before, many other Chinese families and forces were unwilling to help him for various reasons. But Bao Yugang is different. Almost all Chinese wealthy and wealthy families and families are willing to help Bao Yugang. In many of them, Bao Yugang is responsible for this iconic thing. They are convinced. The most important thing is the face. It¡¯s pretty good too, otherwise, if a child with a yellow mouth crawls on top of their heads, where do they put their face? Youdao is high in firewood! The amount of equity in Bao Yugang''s hands quickly moved towards the 50% absolute holding line. The number of equity in Jardine Pacific''s hands is also increasing, and it has finally passed the 40% line. What makes Charles Keswick desperate and helpless is that the equity gap between them and Bao Yugang has not decreased but increased. The scale of victory is constantly tilting towards Bao Yugang! Time flickered and it was the next day, the excitement and hustle and bustle remained the same as yesterday, and even because the victory or defeat was about to be announced today, the enthusiasm of the people eating melons was even greater than that of yesterday. Soon, in the expectation of everyone, Bao Yugang once again announced the amount of equity in his hands. 49.9%! It''s just a tiny bit! But in the eyes of discerning people, the victory or defeat is divided, the Keswick family has no strength to fight back, and the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company is about to change ownership! It was 9:30, and the stock market opened again with the ringing of the stock market bell. And at this special point in time, Global Shipping Group solemnly held a press conference to announce that Bao Yugang owns 50.1% of the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, achieving absolute control! With Wu Guangzheng''s face solemnly announcing the news, the reporters present and the crowd onlookers immediately cheered in unison, delighting the ship king from the heart. Especially when they saw the British journalists present with the same expression as the dead mother, they felt more comfortable. "The ship king is mighty! Encourage our Chinese people!" The cheers at the scene came and went one after another, wave after wave. ... "Bao Sheng, congratulations!" Xia Yu immediately called Bao Yugang, He Xi said. "Haha, Xia Sheng, thank you very much. Without your help and generosity, there would be no me now. This is our victory!" Bao Yugang¡¯s loud voice came from the microphone. Through the microphone, Xia Yu could judge the joy and excitement in Bao Yugang''s heart It¡¯s not easy, the ship king is over 60 years old, his mood He has long been as calm as ice, and now he is so excited, you can imagine how happy he is. I exchanged a few words with Bao Yugang again, considering that there must be many people looking for Bao Yugang, so Xia Yu ended the call. After hanging up, Xia Yu''s smile remained unchanged, he was also happy for the ship king, and also happy for himself. Later, he helped Bao Yugang to acquire a part of the stocks, and made a total profit of 15.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and made a lot of money! In addition to the previous profit of 448.5 million, he made a total of 424 million Hong Kong dollars through the attack on the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal! He deserves the name of the **** of stock! After being happy, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi: "How is the situation with the purchase of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group''s shares?" Wang Qi smiled and reported with a little excitement... Chapter 340: Absolute control "Boss, the stocks in the hands of the three shareholders have been bought. In addition, they have also bought 2.2% of the stocks from several other minority shareholders and investment institutions, which adds up to 20.5%, for a total of 1230. Ten thousand shares!" "The total cost is 124 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 10.08 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is basically a premium of about 20%." "Well done!" Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn''t help but applaud him, his eyes full of admiration. Although it is a stock acquired at a premium of about 20%, this premium ratio is also within the normal standard range of acquisition. It is very difficult to acquire other people''s stocks at a fair price. Acquiring 12.3 million shares at a 20% premium, Wang Qi''s efficiency is very high! At this time, time is life. As long as you start buying stocks from others, the news will inevitably leak. If the news leaks, then everyone knows that Xia Yu is working on the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, a subsidiary of the Jardine Consortium. Let alone whether it will cause the Keswick family to be alarmed and cause trouble, the stock price alone will rise accordingly. With the Jewel of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company in front, the share price of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group will definitely soar. At that time, the stock price can easily exceed 10 Hong Kong dollars, and it is no problem to rush to 20 Hong Kong dollars later. Xia Yu wants to acquire, the difficulty will rise more than ten times, and the price will double! So now I cut the mess quickly and bought the stock before the news leaked out, saving Xia Yu at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Saving is earning! Wang Qi deserves praise! "Thank you, the boss, for the compliment. The main reason is that our company is too prestigious. Due to the power, those shareholders are very easy to speak." Wang Qi said modestly, but the smile between his brows revealed his inner joy. "Haha, there is no need to be humble, I say that your credit is your credit!" Xia Yu said affirmatively. Can you know what Wang Qi said about Xia Yu? Of course he knows! Those shareholders holding the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group are not fools. When Wang Qi came to buy the shares, he would be able to guess something. Do you dare to say that none of them has ever moved their minds? Absolutely! For example, if you refuse Xia Yu''s acquisition, disclose the news, and then sit down and raise the price, you can make a fortune. But why does no one do it? Instead, he sold the stock to Jiuding Securities Co. It''s not because they have a sense of reason, knowing that although they can make a lot of money by doing this, they offend Xia Yu severely, and will definitely be retaliated by Xia Yu and lose even more. The public opinion of Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. can pose a major threat to their cause, and Jiuding Securities Co. and Xia Yu''s nuclear weapons pose a more direct threat to them. At that time, if Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. catches a company and takes a strong position, buys at a low price and then speculates at a higher stock price, then buys at a low price and speculates at a higher price, such a continuous cycle, and toss and cut leeks according to one company, the company is absolutely vigorous. Injury, the confidence of investors will disappear completely. When stockholders lose confidence in the company or are afraid of the power of Jiuding Securities, they dare not buy this stock, no matter how good the company''s financial report is, no one dares to buy it. By then, my company will be half or even completely disabled. If you don¡¯t offend Xia Yu and Jiuding Securities, you will not lose your morals, and Xia Yu and Jiuding Securities will not do this. It is not worthwhile for Xia Yu and it is easy to scare others into a rally. Thinking about it this way, the benefits and risks gained by Keng Xia Yu¡¯s sum are completely disproportionate, so they dare not move this mind at all, or they dare not put it into action if they have such a crooked mind. It is better to sell the stock in a kind manner. Xia Yu, making money with qi, and also getting closer. ... After that, Xia Yu thought about it. He originally had 6% equity in Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, which was given to him by Wu Hongyi''s grandfather. The two sets of secret purchases of the Galaxy Fund total 16.32 million shares, accounting for 27.2% of the total. Now Wang Qi has bought 12.3 million shares from those shareholders, a total of 20.5%. So in total, he already has 32.22 million shares in his hands, accounting for 53.7% of the total share capital! Properly absolute holding! And what really spent the money was the remaining 47.7% equity in addition to the 6%, which cost a total of 259 million Hong Kong dollars! "Together, I have 53.7% equity, it''s time to do it!" "I can''t let the ship king be more beautiful than the previous one, my reputation must be earned!" "But before that, I''d better call Wu Hongyi and get some breath with him." After thinking about it, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi to wait for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed the overseas call. ... Tens of thousands of miles away in London, England, Wu Hongyi was sleeping at home. Suddenly the phone in the bedroom rang and he woke up in a daze. He looked at his watch. It turned out that it was more than two o''clock in the evening, and his brow frowned. , Muttering in his mouth: "Who called me so late?" Looking at the number, it turned out to be an unfamiliar international long-distance call. He blinked his eyes and started to connect: "Hello, who is it?" "Hongyi, it''s me, Xia Yu, eh, are you sleeping? Oh sorry, sorry, I forgot to count the jet lag, forgot that it was early morning where you were..." Xia Yu''s voice sounded in the microphone, Wu Hongyi immediately shook his mind, and instantly became sober, and said with a happily smile: "No matter, no matter what, haha, Xia Yu, I didn''t expect to receive your call, so happy!" "What''s the matter with you calling me?" "what?" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wu Hongyi was shocked, exclaimed, blurted out and asked: "Do you own 53.7% of Jardine Insurance? Become the largest majority shareholder? My God!" Stormy waves arose in Wu Hongyi''s heart I was shocked by Xia Yu''s handwriting! How long has it been since he left Xiangjiang, Xia Yu quietly owned 53.7% of the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and became the largest shareholder in the actual sense. It is incredible! "That¡¯s right, Hony. I¡¯m calling this time just to confuse you. The Keswick family¡¯s Jardine Holdings still owns 30% of the shares. I will announce my equity later and convene a board of directors. The application for delisting and privatization needs your support!" "But you can rest assured that your shares will not move. After privatization, the final result is that the company will only have two shareholders, you and me!" Xia Yu''s calm and flat voice came from the microphone, causing Wu Hongyi, who had just calmed down, to roll again. "hiss!" Wu Hongyi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then said: "Xia Yu, do what you want to do. I am absolutely on your side. I will explain to the people below that I will hand over 10% of the voting rights. You are in charge." Chapter 341: Aggrieved Charles ? "..." After chatting with Xia Yu again, the call ended. But even though it was late at night, Wu Hongyi was not drowsy anymore. He got up and walked to the balcony, looking at the dark night outside, looking up at the starry sky over the starry mountains, and he couldn''t calm down for a long time. More than half of the equity needs to spend at least 250 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, but Xia Yu took it out, and successfully obtained so many equity, there are too many things revealed in it! Wu Hongyi thought he knew Xia Yu, but now suddenly realized that he still didn''t know him. And Xia Yu''s actions also shocked Wu Hongyi. This is Jardine Insurance, which is the core component of the Jardine Consortium. Xia Yu had the courage to launch the acquisition so aggressively, and most importantly, he successfully controlled the holding. And their Wu family thought for more than a hundred years, and they didn''t have the strength to practice. They could only watch the Jardine consortium grow stronger and the goal became farther and farther. There is no harm if there is no comparison, it''s too heartbreaking! "Fortunately, Xia Yu is my friend!" "Grandpa is really right. Xia Yu really did something to the consortium, but I guess Grandpa didn''t expect that Xia Yu would act so quickly!" Wu Hongyi shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself. "I will go home tomorrow, tell grandpa, by the way, also find out what happened in Xiangjiang during this time." After thinking about it, Wu Hongyi looked up at the starry sky again for a while before returning to the room to continue sleeping. ... "Wang Qi, the 10% voting rights of Huafeng Investment will be under our control. You can now announce to the public that the board of directors will be held in the name of the controlling shareholder, first take control of the company, and then apply to the Securities Regulatory Commission for delisting. And initiated an acquisition from Jardine Matheson!" After hanging up, Xia Yu decisively ordered Wang Qi. "Ok!" Wang Qi responded respectfully, and then quickly left the office at Xia Yu''s sign to execute Xia Yu''s orders. Looking at Wang Qi''s hurried back, Xia Yu came to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the noisy street downstairs, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "Ha ha!" "The Keswick family, the gift package is here, are you ready?" ... The meeting room of the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company Building was originally full every time the board of directors was held, but this time it was particularly deserted. There were only six people sitting scattered around a conference table, three of them Sitting together, the other three people were scattered. The lively scene before each meeting disappeared. At this time, it became very quiet, and the atmosphere in the full meeting room seemed very depressing. Originally, there were many directors on the board of directors. In addition to the major shareholders who owned shares, there were also a few independent directors who did not have shares but played a significant role in the development of the company. But at this time, except for the three independent directors, all the other shareholders, large and small, cleared up and left, leaving only three board seats owned by Jardine Pacific. One of them is the chairman seat of Patton Hardman, and the two director seats are respectively. It''s Charles Keswick and Finance Liu Mingtao. The three independent directors secretly looked at Charles Keswick, Patton Hardman, and Liu Mingtao, and found that the three of them had different expressions. Among them, the first two had a gloomy face. Obviously, they had no place to vent their stomachs. Finance Liu Mingtao looked worried and obviously realized that his good deeds were over. Compared with Charles Keswick, these three independent directors are in a calmer mood. After all, they belong to the senior executives hired by the company and do not own the shares of the company. Which boss comes is almost the same for them. It''s just dismissal, anyway, with their ability, they are not afraid of finding food. "Squeak~" I don''t know how long it took, the door of the meeting room slowly opened, and everyone looked at the door. When seeing Bao Yugang bringing in Wu Guangzheng and a few others, everyone except Charles Keswick and Patton Hardman stood up and smiled. This performance made Charles Cather Ke Nei became more angry and intolerable. He couldn''t help but glared at Liu Mingtao, who was beside him. Liu Mingtao came to his senses, hesitated and sat down again. "Good job!" "..." "Everyone sits down and says, don''t stand." Bao Yugang said with a smile, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces, as if to remember everyone. It¡¯s just that Bao Yugang didn¡¯t care about the performance of Charles Keswick and Patton Hardman. Their reaction was already in his expectation. "There are still so many places, so I just sit down!" Bao Yugang said with a smile, taking Wu Guangzheng to find a place to sit down, and did not deliberately drive down Patton Hardman who was sitting at the top. As Bao Yugang took his seat, the three independent directors straightened their waists and sat down, looking at Bao Yugang intently. After taking the seat, Bao Yugang said in his unique and loud voice: "Everyone, I must know me. I am Bao Yugang. I am very happy to meet you!" "Today, I am holding a board meeting as the largest shareholder of the controlling shareholder. Before that, please take a look at my share certificate to see if there are any problems!" When Bao Yugang was speaking, an assistant behind Bao Yugang immediately handed the prepared materials to everyone. After seeing the above information, the three independent directors suppressed the inner shock, and their attitude became even greater. Respectfully. "no problem!" When Charles Keswick saw the copy of the equity certificate, he clenched his teeth and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down. He was afraid that he could not help holding the certificate and throwing it on Bao Yugang''s face with a smile on his face. . "Mr. Bao, everyone''s time is precious Just say anything as soon as possible. There is no need to waste time here." Charles Keswick urged indifferently that he was already a loser, and he could predict what would happen. Instead of holding on to the fire, he might as well die early. Charles Keswick¡¯s hostility was clearly revealed, Bao Yugang didn¡¯t care, and said gently: "Mr. Keswick, don''t worry, we are on the same boat from today, and we need your support in the future!" When Charles Keswick heard the words, his face kept twitching, and his heart became more gloomy. "Since I can''t wait, let''s get to the topic!" "Now we have absolute controlling rights. According to the regulations and the company''s situation, I will have the chairman''s seat and four directors'' seats, and have absolute decision-making power over the company." Bao Yugang''s smile receded, his whole body''s temperament suddenly changed, a majestic aura like the sea emanating from the inside out, giving people a sense of stability and no anger. Chapter 342: Have a good show ? "Mr. Barton, I''m sorry, I will be the chairman of the company in the future!" Bao Yugang looked at Patton Hardman and said apologetically. Barton Hardman smiled reluctantly and tried to keep himself calm and said, "Okay!" Bao Yugang nodded with a smile, and looked over the dark-faced Charles Keswick, and turned his eyes to Liu Mingtao, the financial director. Liu Mingtao raised his throat with a heart, and after looking at Bao Yugang for a few seconds, he suddenly loosened his body, shook his head and smiled bitterly, consciously stood up and said, "Bao Sheng, I quit you and quit the company''s financial job. " After speaking, Liu Mingtao showed apologetic expressions to Charles Keswick and Patton Hardman, then resolutely walked towards the door and left the meeting room. After all, the one who should come is still coming. Rather than being swept out, it is better to give yourself some face. Bao Yugang gave him the opportunity to preserve his self-esteem, and he still caught it. Charles Keswick clenched his teeth, but he was helpless, suffocated to death. Bao Yu was about to drop Liu Mingtao''s post as they had expected. After all, to control the company, the money bag must be controlled by the person he trusts most. "Now I appoint Wu Guangzheng as the company''s finance and concurrently as a director of the company''s board of directors." As Bao Yugang finished speaking, Wu Guangzheng stood up and smiled and nodded to everyone present. "..." Next, Bao Yugang put in his hands one by one. The four director seats were all full, and each was in charge of important departments. He firmly held the company in his hands. Charles Keswick could not stop it at all. This is the law. Given the right to absolutely control the majority shareholder, he can only swallow it in his stomach with tears. I don''t know how long it took. After the meeting was announced, Charles Keswick took Patton Hardman out without looking back, but was stopped by Bao Yugang. "Mr. Keswick, I wonder if it''s an honor to invite you a cup of tea?" Charles Keswick paused and understood what Bao Yugang wanted to do. It was nothing more than talking about the shares in Jardine Pacific. He turned his head and glanced at Bao Yugang, and said blankly, "Mr. Bao, you Chinese have a saying, call it enough!" Abandoning these words, Charles Keswick left bitterly. Wu Guang was upright, however, he stepped forward and wanted to speak, but was stopped by the smiling Bao Yugang. When Charles Keswick disappeared, Bao Yugang said to Wu Guangzheng: "Forget it, don''t push too hard for the time being, we already have the initiative, let''s cook the frog in warm water!" ... Charles Keswick walked out of the gate of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company and looked back at the huge sign hanging on the building. He felt his heart dripping with blood. The Jardine Air Cargo Company, but the place where he established his roots, has now been robbed abruptly. The enemy is still showing off in front of him, and his inner aggrievedness and anger cannot be described in words. After losing the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, what did he use to compete with his elder brother for the position of Patriarch? Take the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, who has just joined the company? Just as Charles was about to get in the car, he suddenly saw a subordinate running over panting, with a panic expression that made Charles Keswick, who was already in a bad mood, frowned and said straightforwardly: " What''s in such a hurry? Could it be that Satan is here?" "Huh..." "Manager, it''s not good. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced that it owns 53.7% of the shares in the insurance company. It just proposed to hold a board meeting and you need to attend! The subordinate gasped. Charles Keswick widened his eyes, then grabbed his subordinate''s shoulders with both hands and shook him: "What did you say? Say it again!" "Manager, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced that it owns 53.7% of our company''s shares and requested a board meeting." The subordinate was taken aback and repeated it quickly. Hearing that, Charles Kesekton felt the darkness in front of his eyes, and the whole person was swaying, frightened Patton Hardman who was next to him quickly helped him, Patton Hardman looked at him with concern. "Huh...huh..." Charles Keswick kept breathing deeply and gradually returned to his senses. After seeing Patton Hardman''s concerned gaze, he stood up straight, and made a "bang" on the typing car in a circle, and cursed hysterically: "Shuit! Raised by a bitch, I will kill you!" Passers-by looked at Charles Keswick in a suit and leather shoes who looked like a lunatic, and quickly avoided it. Others stopped to watch the excitement and pointed. "Charles, now you have to go back and tell your father, hurry!" Patton Hardman shook Charles Keswick awake and said loudly in his ear. Charles Keswick was so excited, he whispered: "Yes, find father!" Saying that Charles Keswick opened the car door and said to the driver inside: "Quick, back to the family!" Unfortunately, the scene downstairs happened to be seen by Bao Yugang, who came to the window and wanted to see the scenery. Charles Keswick¡¯s abnormal performance made Bao Yugang curious. It should be noted that at the board meeting, Charles Keswick still endured not lifting the table, which shows that his family education is still good, and his ability to be rational and patient is not bad. But it is such a person who hasn''t lost his attitude to this degree. He was shocked by a news after he went out. It is conceivable that he must have heard a terrible news. "Mingzi, go find out, what big things are happening in Xiangjiang now!" Bao Yugang ordered to the assistant who was following him. Son-in-law Wu Guangzheng has gone to take over the company''s financial work, so naturally he can''t follow him, so he can only help to do it. The assistant named Mingzi replied respectfully, and then hurried away. It didn''t take long for him to rush back. There was still a trace of shock on his face, which made Bao Yugang even more curious. "Boss, big news, just when you convened the board meeting, Jiuding Securities announced that it owns 53.7% of the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and convenes the board meeting as an absolute controlling shareholder!" Assistant Ming Tsai finished the heavy news in one breath Even Bao Yugang''s state of mind was shocked when he heard the news, which surprised him! Immediately he smiled, caressed his palms and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Xia Sheng deserves to be Xia Sheng. It turns out that there is still a hand hidden here. Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, this is a good company, and it was completed silently. Absolutely holding, a fatal blow, powerful!" "With the veteran insurance company of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Xia Sheng''s title as a financial tycoon has become stronger!" Bao Yugang was happy for Xia Yu from the bottom of his heart. He regarded Xia Yu as a year-end friend from the bottom of his heart. After being happy, Bao Yu just thought of his old friend John Keswick, and smiled meaningfully, his eyes deepened. "Old John, there are two dead ends this time. I don''t know how you can deal with it?" "There is a good show, haha!" Chapter 343: Old Johns vigilance The car speeded all the way and soon came to the door of the Keswick family mansion. The guard opened the door quickly and let Charles Keswick¡¯s car clear. "Father, something happened!" When the car heard the door of the house, Charles Keswick quickly opened the door and trot all the way to the living room. He saw his father John sitting on the sofa right in front of him. Charles Keswick seemed to have found the backbone and ran. Shouted. Old John frowned and reprimanded: "Charles, calm down!" His father''s reprimand surprised Charles Keswick, taking a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, but thinking of what he was about to report, his face showed a trace of anxiety. "Father, that **** Chinese kid helped Bao Yugang **** the air cargo terminal company, and now he wants to **** our insurance company. He has already obtained 53.7% of the insurance company''s equity. Now we are going to hold a board of directors. What should we do? ?" Charles Keswick said anxiously, as if it was his company that was robbed, his voice had a hint of grief and indignation. "Okay, I already know!" Old John''s face was as deep as water, and he said solemnly. Charles Keswick was taken aback, blurted out: "You know?" Old John nodded slightly and explained a little: "Nu Bijian called me just now." Niu Bijian is the big class of the Jardine Group, which was ordered by Old John. Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is a subsidiary of the Jardine Group. It is normal for Niu Bijian to report to Old John as soon as he gets the news. Now that his father knew, Charles Keswick didn''t have to explain it, and it was even more important to find a way to deal with it. "Father, what should we do? Now that Chinese kid is about to hold a board meeting, and the time is almost up." Charles Keswick asked anxiously. "What''s the use of being anxious? It''s too late now!" Old John said in a deep voice, seemingly not in a hurry, but if you listen carefully, you will find that his tone is a bit stiff, and obviously his heart is not as calm as he appears. Actually, it is always the only company where Yihe robs other people. I did not expect that there will be such a day, two companies will be taken away by others in a day, and they are all of the kind with no resistance. The insurance company didn''t even have the opportunity to struggle. It was impossible to say that Old John was not angry. "Late? Yeah... it''s late..." Hearing his father''s words, Charles Keswick seemed to be emptied of energy and collapsed on the sofa, holding his head painfully unwilling to face reality. In fact, he knew in his heart that it would be such a result when he came, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the great father would have a way. It''s a pity that his father is a mortal after all, facing this kind of result, there is no way to wake him up directly. 53.7% of the equity is absolutely controlled. As long as Xia Yu does not let go, it will be useless if anyone comes. Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is 100% changing hands, so there is no need to take any chances! "Well, cheer up, learn to face reality and don''t be easily overwhelmed by difficulties!" Seeing Charles Keswick¡¯s fragile appearance, Old John knew the reason, it was nothing more than the competition for inheritance rights, but he understood, but was dissatisfied with Charles¡¯s performance and taught him a lesson. Charles Keswick cheered up, but his face remained complicated. "How is the situation with the air freight company?" Old John asked. "Bao Yu just took the chairman seat of Button and became chairman himself. He also took away financial and personnel rights. In the end, he wanted to buy our shares, but I refused." Charles Keswick said bitterly, adding another point to the distress in his heart. "For the time being, keep it as it is. We will talk about whether the shares are sold or not. You continue to stay in it." Old John thought for a while, then said slowly. For the time being, bow your head for the time being and look for an opportunity later. As long as you retain the shares, there is still a chance to fight back. "Good father!" Charles Keswick responded. "As for waiting for the insurance company''s meeting..." Speaking of this, Old John groaned, and Charles Keswick pricked his ears and waited respectfully. "No need to go, it''s useless to go!" As Old John''s words were spoken, Charles Keswick breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. In fact, he didn''t want to attend. He went there to see Xia Yuyao''s power, just to get angry, and he would definitely be more aggrieved than the air cargo terminal company meeting. Charles Keswick had just taken a breath, and he didn''t want to take it again. And the most important thing is that it¡¯s useless if you go there, you can¡¯t change the result, you¡¯re deprived of your rights, you¡¯re doomed to be cleansed, and the company¡¯s delisting is also doomed. It¡¯s the same whether you hold a meeting or vote. Because Xia Yu has 53.7% of the stock in his hands, their Keswick family has 30% of the stock, and another major shareholder owns 10% of the stock. In this calculation, the public float is far below the 10% standard. Does not meet the conditions of a listed company. Even if they do not take the initiative to apply for delisting from a meeting, they will be warned by the China Securities Regulatory Commission that they will either release the stocks so that the publicly-tradable shares account for 10% of the total shares, or be forced to delist. The first one is definitely impossible. Whether it is to let Xia Yu release the shares or let them release the shares, it is impossible. As for the other major shareholder, he will not be willing to sell the stock, otherwise it would have been acquired by Xia Yu. , Why wait till now? So there is only one result, and that is delisting, which is an unstoppable result. But even if the company delisted, Charles Keswick made up his mind to never let his father sell 30% of the stock to Xia Yu. "Charles gives you one thing. You cooperate with Niu Bijian to count all the shares of our listed companies and investigate the transactions of all listed companies in the past month." Old John''s eyes became deep, and he ordered his second son, Charles Keswick. Charles Keswick understood what Old John meant, and was shocked, and quickly responded: "Good father! I''ll do it!" First happened the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and then happened the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. Both were done by Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund. It is hard to guarantee that the other party will not target the third or even the fourth. . If there are really listed companies being targeted, in order to avoid being unprepared and losing the power to fight back as they are now. The best way is to find out the danger, increase the shareholding in time, and kill the danger in the bud. "Go, find out as soon as possible!" Old John told. Chapter 344: Enthusiasm and indifference After Charles Keswick left in a hurry, old John''s eyes flickered, and he made another phone call, instructing his subordinates to expedite the investigation of the details of the newly emerging Galaxy Fund. Knowing yourself and the enemy can win all battles. The Galaxy Fund is obviously Xia Yu''s shell, but I don''t know the details of the Galaxy Fund, or how much money it has. Old John has a heart hanging in his heart, and sleeps and sleeps! At the same time, as Jiuding Securities announced the news, the already noisy outside world was like dropping an atomic bomb into an erupting volcano, and public opinion became more lively. Everyone, whether it is the wealthy politicians of the upper echelons or the citizens of the middle and lower echelons, was shocked by the actions of Jiuding Securities. "It''s wonderful, the two core companies of the Jardine Consortium changed hands in one day!" "I thought that the ship king was more powerful. The stock **** was forced to bow his head by the power. We didn''t expect that we were wrong. The stock **** is the stock god. Never bow your head. If you don''t make a move, you will be killed. The method is ruthless!" "It''s a pity, Jardine Insurance Consulting Group has been suspended, otherwise the stock price will definitely fly." "How strong is this Galaxy Fund? It is actually working on two companies with a market value of over 500 million Hong Kong dollars at the same time!" ... As the news continues to spread, not only the people who eat melons are talking, but even the wealthy are also refreshed. Many people are ready to realize that the long-awaited time seems to have arrived. There are already ship kings and stock gods staring at them to attract attention. They can secretly look for acquisition targets. If they can acquire a company, their strength will definitely skyrocket. Of course, there are still some people who have the idea of ??Galaxy Fund in their hearts, and want to find an opportunity to ask whether Galaxy Fund accepts the task of entrusted acquisition. With the impressive record of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Galaxy Fund¡¯s M&A strength has been demonstrated. Some people think more, knowing that the ability to acquire is not whether it is a fund or a securities company. The key lies in Xia Yu. Therefore, these people directly targeted Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and wanted to entrust it to help in the merger and acquisition business. It can be expected that the merger and acquisition business of Jiuding Securities will definitely rise strongly in the future. At the time when the outside clamor continued, the Jardine Insurance Advisory Group''s board meeting was held on time, and it did not stop because of Charles Keswick''s absence. With absolute decision-making power, cleaning has become very simple. Jardine Insurance Consulting Group has directly changed the door, from Keswick to Xia. According to Xia Yu''s wishes, the delisting application was submitted to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the delisting process was officially launched. I believe it will be completed soon. After all, there are too few stocks in circulation and the repurchase can easily be completed. ... "The Keswick family won''t come? Haha!" Xia Yu sat in the office, played with the tea cup in his hand, and said with a chuckle. "It''s all this time, and I want to take the initiative back. I want to be beautiful!" Charles Keswick did not understand the meaning of old John, but Xia Yu did. Old John knew that Xia Yu would offer them to buy the shares in their hands. If he or Charles Keswick went to the board meeting, he would be short, and then he would be offered to buy the shares in his hands. All face will be lost. But if he doesn''t go, Xia Yu must take the initiative to find them if he wants to buy stocks, so that the Keswick family can get back some initiative and make things more convenient. Although he guessed what Old John thought, Xia Yu didn''t care. Over 50% of his equity is the biggest initiative. Old John thought he could get some initiative back and asked Xia Yu to come and beg him, but Xia Yu still has a card in his hand, even if the Keswick family is not willing to take the stock To sell, Xia Yu also had the means to force them to sell. Don''t forget, Jardine Machinery Group is still the third goal! It is best to promise to sell the stock, if not? Then the Keswick family is forced to change. If you want to keep the Jardine Machine Group, you must take out the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group! Otherwise, nothing is possible! If they have the ability, they will watch the Jardine Machinery Group go back to the old road of the Jardine Air Cargo Station! However, according to Xia Yu''s estimation, the Keswick family will definitely submit! He firmly believes this! It¡¯s just that Xia Yu didn¡¯t know. Old John was already alert and was arranging for someone to check the stock market transaction records of other companies. There are data from Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. The fund uses concealment methods, but similar methods and trends cannot be hidden, and there is still the possibility of being discovered! The situation seems to be shifting in a direction that is unfavorable to Xia Yu... ... London, Wu Family Mansion, Wu Chengde''s courtyard. Wu Chengde sat in a wicker chair and listened quietly to Wu Hongyi''s narration, while the old housekeeper Ah Fu waited quietly. "Grandpa, these are the things I inquired about." After a long time, Wu Hongyi finally finished speaking. The butler Afu immediately offered Wu Hongyi a cup of tea to moisturize his throat. Wu Chengde said with emotion: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!" "I dared to snipe the acquisition of the Jardine consortium''s enterprise, and it was even successful. It made a profit of 400 million Hong Kong dollars in World War I. It also attracted a strong ally and swallowed the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group in one bite. It is incredible!" The scene of the confrontation with Xia Yu is still vivid, as if yesterday, but it didn''t take long before Xia Yu created such a big storm, and his strength soared. At this speed, it will be sooner or later to catch up with the wealth of the Wu family, and they also know how to use their own advantages and opportunities to form a network of contacts to make up for their own shortcomings. "Monster!" Wu Chengde finally expressed infinite emotion. "Hongyi, did Xia Yu move your shares?" Wu Chengde asked. "No, he told me that he would privatize the company, but he wouldn''t have the idea of ??using my shares. In the end, the company will have two shareholders, he and me." Wu Hongyi said quickly. Wu Chengde smiled. It seems that Xia Yu really understands what he means, and he can be a good person, he is right. "To strengthen ties with him and maintain relations, after this storm, the Hong Kong business community will start to chaos, the conflicts between British and Chinese capital will be catalyzed sharply, and the opportunities will increase. You see if you can get a piece of the pie. I am willing to take you with me. Wu Chengde pondered for a moment, and told Wu Hongyi. Wu Hongyi nodded and replied, "Grandpa, I remember!" ... But he said that Omen Hejia. He also got the news right away. He Youguang couldn''t believe it when he heard about Xia Yu''s strong takeover of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. Not only He Youguang, but even He Hongshen didn''t expect it at all. At noon, the father and son sat at home and talked about it. It just so happened that He Chaoqiong came back from get out of class. After entering the door, he shouted He Hongshen and He Youguang, then ran to the bookshelf and picked up some newspapers, and then entered his room. Seeing his daughter''s behavior, He Hongshen frowned, but he still didn''t say anything about her. He Chaoqiong has never had the habit of reading newspapers, but this period of time is there. Whenever he comes back from school every day, he takes the newspaper into his room and read it. Regarding He Chaoqiong''s abnormal behavior, both He Hongshen and He Youguang knew why. It was nothing more than learning about Xia Yu from the newspaper. It is unrealistic to stop it, and the family is not allowed to see it. He Chaoqiong has the money to buy it outside. Moreover, reading the newspaper is also beneficial, broadening your horizons and knowledge, it is beneficial to the development of thinking methods, and you can also be familiar with social and business knowledge, so He Hongshen simply ignored it. It just worries him that his daughter will sink deeper and deeper. "Father, his strength has grown again. According to this trend, he may be the richest man in Hong Kong in the future." He Youguang said solemnly. "He is very sharp, and he directly provokes the Jardine consortium. Things will not be so simple. The Keswick family is not an easy-to-play role. The Keswick family is pressed into a hurry. He really may not be able to withstand it." "You must know that if you have money, you have to spend your life!" He Hongshen said meaningfully. The family that has stood for more than a hundred years and has risen since the Opium War has survived wars and tribulations, and has grown stronger. How could it be simple. The British with Viking pirate blood have always promoted their image as a gentleman, but their essence will not change. The evil wolf is the evil wolf after all, even if it wears sheepskin for a long time, it will not change into a sheep after all! If the rules are useful, they will use them against you, but when the rules are invalid, it is time to use shameful means. Based on He Hongshen''s understanding of the Jardine Foundation, one of the hands of the Keswick family has long been black. In this cruel and chaotic society, if it is not dark, there is no way to stand still and grow. Now, whether it is a British or a Chinese, is there any wealthy family in Hong Kong who do not have the power to protect themselves? Hearing this, He Youguang was startled, and asked anxiously, "Can Xia Yu stand it?" "It''s up to him. If he doesn''t know this, he will dare to pull his teeth continuously. After this time, he will not pass the next time." He Hongshen said lightly. "Then we..." He Youguang hesitated for a while thinking of his sister, he said. Just as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted mercilessly by He Hongshen: "There is no need to help, and we can''t help. We just need to look at it. It should be reminded. Others have reminded him. If no one reminds him, he is unpopular. , Destined, this matter is not our turn!" "You don''t need to remind! This is not a reminder to be useful!" He Hongshen told his son. If the He family went to remind Xia Yu, what would it be? Originally, there was a gap because of He Chaoqiong''s affairs, and the gap was set by the He family, but now suddenly he kindly reminded Xia Yu that He Hongshen didn''t want to hit him in the face. Moreover, at this level, even if reminded, if Xia Yu is not prepared, it may be too late. He has fallen, his business is still there, and there must be someone who wants to see this happening. For those high-quality companies, there are too many people thinking about it. Chapter 345: I still have to use hard ? At six o''clock in the evening, the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel. Wang Qi was sitting next to Xia Yu. He looked at his watch and found that it was already 6:55, but he couldn''t help feeling a little bit at heart before the other party came. "Boss, will they come?" "I do not know either!" Xia Yu said nonchalantly, instead he looked at the luxurious decorations of the top box with leisure. "The time hasn''t arrived yet, if they haven''t come to the world, then let''s go!" Xia Yu looked at his watch and said calmly. Xia Yu''s performance infected Wang Qi. Since the boss didn''t care, he didn''t have to worry about it, and he packed his mind and waited quietly. Xia Yu made appointments with no one else, but the Keswick family, with only one purpose, that is, for the 30% Jardine Insurance Advisory Group stock in the hands of the Keswick family. The Keswick family must also be clear. Anyway, in Xia Yu¡¯s opinion, the invitation has been delivered and the courtesy has been delivered. If the Keswick family refuses to attend the board meeting, then Xia Yu will know their attitude, and will be stunned. of. Of course, it¡¯s best to talk about it, and it¡¯s safest to buy the stock first. "Boss, it''s seven o''clock!" Wang Qi, who had been watching the time, saw that the second hand jumped to the 12 position, he reminded softly. "Let''s go!" Xia Yu stood up and wanted to leave after finishing his clothes. "Boom!" At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Xia Yu and Wang Qi paused and looked at the door. Immediately afterwards, the door opened and two figures appeared. When he looked down on the incoming person, Xia Yu''s pupils shrank slightly. It turned out to be John Keswick and his son Charles Keswick. Xia Yu did not expect that Old John would be dispatched in person, because after getting to know him, he knew that Old John rarely attended various invitations in person these years. Most of them were Niu Bijian or his two sons. It''s just that he didn''t expect him to come in person tonight, which really surprised Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately returned to his senses and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. John, I didn''t expect you to come in person. It''s a great honor! Please sit down!" "Mr. Charles, good evening!" "good evening!" Old John and his son said few words and had a cold attitude. Charles Keswick had a stinky face. Xia Yu also found that when Charles saw him, his eyes were full of gloomy colors and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times. , Obviously hated him. "Two gentlemen, what would you like to have?" As the old John and his son took their seats, the waiter who showed them the way immediately came forward, opened the menu, looked at both sides, and made a please gesture, Xia Yu immediately asked the old John and his son. "Thank you, we have finished our dinner, so let us have two cups of Blue Mountain coffee." Old John said in a hurry. The waiter was a little surprised. He glanced at Xia Yu subconsciously. After Xia Yu gave him a positive look, the waiter immediately recorded it. "Give me a mocha." "I have a mocha too!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Wang Qi followed, and ordered the same. "Gentlemen, what else is needed?" "Serve some of your special pastries here, that''s all for now." Xia Yu said again. "OK, just a second!" Afterwards, the waiter bowed and left the box gently. "Mr. John Keswick, thank you very much for coming in person!" Xia Yu provoked the topic first. Old John smiled and said implicitly: "I can''t come if I don''t come. Who makes my son not as good as you!" Hearing his father say this, Charles Keswick''s face became even more ugly, but he did not refute his father. Old John''s deep meaning Xia Yu heard, he was not to be outdone, and said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. John joked, Mr. Charles is very capable, maybe you didn''t see it." Xia Yu¡¯s smile was also meaningful, and he took a special look at Charles Keswick as he spoke, causing the ghostly expression of Charles Keswick to change slightly. Although he immediately returned to normal, he began to wonder and guess. Did Xia Yu find out? When the experienced old John saw this, his eyes became deep, and he guessed if there was something he didn''t know, but now it¡¯s not convenient to ask about his days, so he smiled and said, ¡°Maybe, people are getting old. The energy is no better than before, and many things are out of control." "Mr. John joked, you are old and healthy, longevity is not a problem." Xia Yu said with a smile, flattered, and deliberately played down the tit-for-tat atmosphere, paving the way for the next conversation. Soon, the waiter brought the coffee and pastries, and the atmosphere eased again. After drinking coffee for a while, Xia Yu stirred up the topic and entered the theme of tonight. "Mr. John, you are so insightful, so I won''t go around in circles anymore, just say it straight. I want to buy your shares in Jardine Insurance. I wonder what you think?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Old John with scorching eyes. Unexpectedly, the old John hadn¡¯t spoken yet, but Charles Keswick couldn¡¯t help it. He said emotionally, ¡°I¡¯m not possible. I robbed my company and wanted to buy our shares. It¡¯s really our Keswick family. Good bully?" Xia Yu smiled unchanged and said softly: "Mr. Charles, don''t get excited, why not listen to your father''s thoughts?" After speaking, Xia Yu turned his gaze back to Old John. Xia Yu''s ignorant attitude made Charles Keswick feel angry and intolerable, but because of his father''s side, he could only endure and look at his father, hoping that he would refuse and not change his original idea. Old John¡¯s complexion did not fluctuate, he put down the cup without rushing, looked at Xia Yu, and said in a gentle but firm tone: ¡°Impossible, the Jardine consortium is not short of money. I also have a request. What do you think of selling all the shares to me?" "Mr. John joked. In this situation, it doesn''t matter if your family retains Jardine''s shares. Why not use the funds to invest in more promising industries?" Xia Yu gave a haha, did not answer Old John''s question, and persuaded him again. Old John smiled mockingly, his eyes sharpened sharply, and his temperament changed drastically. It seemed that he changed from a sheep to a tiger that could eat people, and his mighty power approached Xia Yu. "Young man, do you think our Keswick family is very bullied?" Although the power of Old John is amazing, Xia Yu is not a person who has not seen the world before. He is not affected by his aura. He still smiles and says: "How come, I have always respected the noble family. No such idea." This made it clear that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but Xia Yu still said it without embarrassment, still posing calmly. "Young man, needless to say so much, I can not blame the air cargo terminal company, but Jardine Insurance Company, you have to vomit, and I won''t let you lose. I will give you 300 million Hong Kong dollars and buy all your shares. , Everything is forgotten." "Plus the money you earn from the air cargo terminal company, it''s enough, don''t be too greedy!" Old John''s expression became serious and he looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and said solemnly. Seeing the attitude of old John, Xia Yu knew that he was going to be disappointed and returned tonight. He stopped concealing his smile, looked at old John unwillingly, and said lightly: "Mr. John, buying stocks is normal business. Behavior, you let me spit it out, it doesn¡¯t make sense, is it just allowing you to buy other people¡¯s companies and not allowing us to buy them too?¡± "Well, we don''t need to argue, I just give you a suggestion, I hope you think it through!" Old John said decisively, his language was slightly relaxed, but his tone remained firm. "Ok, I will figure it out clearly." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said in a calm tone. After finishing speaking, he took up the cup, the meaning was obvious, see off! If the words are not too speculative, the old John has made it very clear, and even reminded him in turn that if he wants the shares in his hands, there is no need to talk about it, because it is destined to be fruitless, so why waste time Too! After serving the tea and seeing off the guests, Old John naturally understood this and didn''t intend to stay longer. Charles got up and left with a sneer. "Walk slowly, not send it!" Xia Yu sat on the stool and said and didn''t mean to get up. Old John and his son did not reply, and left without looking back. When the old John and his son left, Wang Qi asked softly: "Boss, the talk is broken tonight, then what should we do next?" "Their reaction is within the expected range, so don''t be discouraged." "But I must have the stocks in their hands, otherwise there is no way to integrate the insurance company. If they don''t give it, then force them to give it according to the original plan!" Xia Yu showed a firm look and said in a sonorous voice. "Yes!" Wang Qi''s expression was serious, and he immediately responded. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 346: Bao Yugangs kind reminder ? The next two days, Saturday and Sunday, the stock market is closed. But Xia Yu''s actions did not stop, and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group''s stock repurchase plan is being implemented. Because Xia Yu acted too quickly, the stock price was suspended before it soared, so the stock price did not rise much at the time of suspension. Therefore, the stock repurchase price set for this repurchase is 10 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is a 20% premium, which is considered reasonable. Shareholders, it is not ugly to eat. There are a total of 3.78 million shares scattered outside, accounting for 6.3% of the total equity. The repurchase has set a deadline, and the stocks will not be repurchased after the expiry date, and the stocks will be invalidated. Therefore, stockholders and small and medium-sized institutions lined up and quickly sold the stocks in their hands. The recovery location was at the exchange and Jiuding Securities Company. There were several long queues. All 3.78 million shares went into the pocket of Jiuding Securities, costing a total of 37.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and then immediately transferred to the pocket of Galaxy Fund. In this way, Xia Yu has 36 million shares in his hands, accounting for 60%! The absolute controlling shareholder is good for this. Even if the Keswick family wants stocks, there is no alternative but to watch the stocks finally enter Xia Yu''s pockets. With the end of the stock repurchase, Jardine Insurance Consulting Group completed the privatization, but there are still three shareholders. The largest shareholder, Galaxy Fund, accounted for 60%, the second largest shareholder, Jardine Holding Company, accounted for 30%, and the second largest shareholder. Three shareholders, Huafeng Investment, accounted for 10%. From then on, Jardine Insurance can be said to be surnamed Xia, but because the nail household Jardine Holdings is still there, Xia Yu temporarily abandoned the reform of Jardine Holdings. He plans to get 30% of the shares in Jardine Holdings first. ! On Monday, at 9:30 in the morning, the stock market opened. What disappointed investors was that the stock market was turbulent last week, but there were no major moves by Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund this week. Even other financial companies didn¡¯t make any major moves. Looking at the lively people eating melons, I was not disappointed. After the stock market opened, Xia Yu came to the seat of Jiuding Securities Company in the exchange in a low-key manner to check the stock market. At this moment, Xia Yu glanced across the crowd and seemed to see Bao Yugang''s figure. He fixed his eyes, isn''t it Bao Yugang? At this time, Bao Yu had just walked out of the Kowloon branch of HSBC Securities, and seemed to be leaving. Xia Yu pondered for a moment and told Wang Qi: "Send someone to ask Bao Yugang to come over." Xia Yu didn¡¯t plan to go out. Otherwise, if someone recognizes him and meets with the ship king, two heavyweights will meet, and they are still hotspots last week. Now that the news hasn¡¯t fallen, it will definitely cause a huge amount of news. The sensation will cause some unnecessary troubles. "Ok!" Wang Qi responded, and immediately sent someone to invite Bao Yugang. Soon, Xia Yu saw his subordinates running in front of Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang stopped. After listening to the subordinates, he looked up in the direction of the seat of Jiuding Securities, and then changed directions. Coming to the seat of Jiuding Securities. After a while, Bao Yugang came in, and when he saw Xia Yu, he immediately smiled. Xia Yu also greeted him with a smile on his face, and shook hands with Bao Yugang, "Bao Sheng, I''m sorry, I didn''t invite you over in person." "Haha, fortunately you didn''t come, otherwise I would be surrounded by people, so I won''t even want to walk." Bao Yugang said with a hearty smile. Xia Yu smiled upon hearing the words, and then took Bao Yugang to the inside to sit down, and the employees immediately served hot tea. "Bao Sheng, is your progress going well?" After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu asked casually. Bao Yugang knew that Xia Yu was referring to the issue of the Keswick family¡¯s equity. He shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "It can only be said that the company is temporarily controlled, but the Keswick family¡¯s equity ratio is too large and he refuses. My takeover offer is a trouble after all." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding, and said with a smile: "Haha, Bao Sheng, I believe the Keswick family will definitely let go in the future." "Then you will honor your promise!" Bao Yugang said with a smile. "By the way, Xia Sheng, your situation is much better than mine. How is the acquisition situation? I heard that you met with Old John the other night?" Bao Yugang questioned. It was only last night that he learned that Xia Yu had met with old John and his son at the Peninsula Hotel. He was a little surprised when he heard the news. Although he was a little curious and concerned about the situation, it was late at that time and Bao Yugang did not have it. Excuse Xia Yu. Now it just happens to happen, just ask for your concern. Xia Yu smiled indifferently: "Like yours, the Keswick family refuses to sell, but instead they want to force me to sell the stock to them, ha ha." Bao Yugang was not surprised, and comforted: "This is normal. Old John is not a person who will give up easily. Before he retreats, he has always been the only one who oppresses others. Slowly wear it." "Ok, I know!" Xia Yu responded smoothly. Then, Xia Yu saw Bao Yugang pondering for a moment, and heard him say: "Xia Sheng, the Keswick family is not simple. I understand that Old John is not a rigid person. Well-known, since he wants you to sell his shares, then you should pay more attention to it. If you will target them later, then you''d better be fully prepared, again and again, very It''s easy to push the Keswick family into a hurry." "If you have any trouble, call me as soon as possible." Bao Yugang solemnly reminded. When Xia Yu saw Bao Yugang''s solemn expression, he was moved in his heart, and at the same time he became more vigilant. He smiled, and nodded, "Okay, thanks to Bao Sheng for reminding me, I will pay attention!" Seeing Xia Yu listened, Bao Yugang stopped talking, nodded, and chatted with Xia Yu about other stock markets. Not long after, Bao Yugang left. Seeing Bao Yugang''s back, Xia Yu thought to himself. If Bao Yu was just now, he could feel it as a heartfelt concern, but what he said is not impossible Bao Yugang must be more familiar with the situation of the Keswick family than Xia Yu, since He now solemnly reminded that it would definitely not be aimless, it must be because the Keswick family is indeed dangerous. "It seems that we must pay more attention and be more prepared, otherwise if they really jump the wall in a hurry, they will be in trouble..." Thinking that the Jardine Machine Group would be used again soon, just in response to what Bao Yugang had said over and over again, Xia Yu felt a little bitter and said inwardly. "By the way, Yan Shining is relatively rare during this period, and I don''t know how the site is being constructed. It just happens to have some time in the morning, so let''s go and take a look!" Xia Yu has always done things swiftly and swiftly. He did what he thought of, and immediately left the exchange and got into the car. After reporting the location, Xia Yu''s car galloped toward the destination.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 347: Mighty hero ? "Boss, here it is!" Following a reminder from Li Wuming, Xia Yu, who was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and found that he had reached the spot. A huge iron door appeared in front of him. The door was closed tightly, except for a small window in the middle. , But the small window is also closed at this time. On the left and right sides connected to the gate, there is a wall that stretches without knowing where to go. The wall is three meters high, and outsiders can''t see what''s inside. At this moment, the personnel on duty inside seemed to hear the sound of the car stopping, opened the small window of the door to look out, and after seeing the license plate number, they began to open the door. Before long, with the sound of friction and collision between iron and the ground, the huge iron door slowly opened, and the person who opened the door stood by the door and saluted Xia Yu. The car started again, followed the guide and heard a parking space behind the duty room, and then Xia Yu took Li Wuming out of the car. "boss!" The personnel on duty also locked the door, ran all the way to Xia Yu, and shouted respectfully. "Well, hard work!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. He happened to know this employee, who was the first batch of people recruited by Yan Shining. The person who used to work at the dock with Li Quan and them was named Tang Yong, but he was transferred by Yan Shining. "Are you on duty today?" Xia Yu asked casually. "Yes, I am on duty Monday, Wednesday and Friday!" Tang Yong raised his head and answered loudly. Xia Yu nodded to indicate that he knew it, and then stood there, looking at the surrounding scenes. Seeing the brand-new duty room and the unpainted wall inside, Xia Yu asked: "When will the duty room and the wall be built?" Tang Yong thought about it for a while, then replied: "The duty room has been built seven days ago. As for the fence, it was built ten days ago." Xia Yu calculated in his mind and asked, "So it only took four days to build the wall? How long is the wall?" "Yes, at least hundreds of workers built the wall together. It took only four days to build the wall. In terms of the length, the instructor said it seems to be 1.2 kilometers." Tang Yong nodded and explained. "Ok!" Xia Yuqing has an intuitive understanding of the strength of the Yangtze River Infrastructure. Of course, he also knows that the Yangtze River Infrastructure is so powerful, and it is also the result of Li Jiacheng''s face. Otherwise, how can so many people be mobilized to rush to work? Number one! At this moment, a roar of cars came from far and near, and Xia Yu walked around and found a military jeep with a camouflage pattern coming towards them. "Boss, Yan Shining should be here!" Li Wuming''s eyes were sharp, he saw the human face in the car through the glass, and said to Xia Yu. "Yes boss, this car is the instructor''s car!" Tang Yong affirmed from the side. Xia Yu stood with his hands in his hands, quietly watching the jeep galloping towards him, and looking at it with interest. When Yan Shining reported to him for approval, he applied for two military jeeps. Xia Yu directly doubled with his big hand and bought four. Now, when I look at it, the roar of the engine of this jeep is very powerful, and I know the power as soon as I hear it. Full. And looking from a distance, it gives a sense of grandeur and solemnity, coupled with the black and green camouflage stripes, adds a bit of mystery. Soon, under Xia Yu¡¯s gaze, the car came to the front of Xia Yu, and immediately after the door opened, Yan Shining jumped off the car vigorously, stepped a few steps in front of Xia Yu, stood upright, respectfully Said: "Boss, sorry, I''m late!" "It''s okay!" As he said, Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining''s training combat uniform, and a mighty and vigorous breath emanated from him. Xia Yu couldn''t help but admire: "Wearing this dress, his temperament has changed dramatically, majestic and majestic!" Yan Shining smiled and said, "Boss Liao praised it, but the clothes you bought look good!" "Haha!" Xia Yu laughed and asked, "Did you train just now?" "Yes, I was training just now, and now I am doing physical training!" Yan Shining reports truthfully. Xia Yu showed interest. He had never seen how soldiers were trained. Although this is not an army, Yan Shining definitely builds the team according to the standards of training the army. Xia Yu has seen the plan made by Yan Shining before. There are no training subjects except shooting training. Other troops have queues, captures, and There are many training subjects such as tactics and physical fitness. "Go, take me to see!" Xia Yu was curious, so he said. "Boss, please get in the car. Some places here are not hardened. The chassis of ordinary cars is too low to drive." Yan Shining explained and took Xia Yu and Li Wuming to the military jeep. "Boss, this car is a bit bumpy, please stop by." Yan Shining reminded kindly. "It''s okay!" Speaking of Xia Yu, he got into the position of the co-pilot, while Li Wuming got into the back seat. Yan Shining didn''t talk too much nonsense. He opened the door and sat in the driving position. Then quickly ignited the car. The whole jeep vibrated. Then Yan Shining released the clutch and brake to start. Drive in one direction. In the car, Xia Yujin looked at the surrounding scenes through the window of the car with relish, and found that there were a row of two-story buildings in the far east, and there were also many large siege equipment and workers. The construction was in full swing. He asked: " Are there dormitories and cafeterias over there?" "Yes, there are two rows of dormitories, a large bathhouse, an indoor training place, and a comprehensive building. They are all over there. They have not been completed yet!" Yan Shining drove the car, glanced in the direction Xia Yu pointed, and immediately replied. "What do you think of the speed and quality of construction?" Xia Yu asked. "The construction site is very fast. The construction team of the Yangtze River Infrastructure Company is rushing to work day and night. Although the speed is fast, the quality is not bad. I feel good." Yan Shining said with some admiration. "That''s good!" "Where do the employees live temporarily?" Xia Yu nodded and smiled, and continued to ask. "Living in a simple assembled board room, the canteen is now a board room, and will move in when it is completed." "Boss, we''re almost here, we''ll be on the outdoor training ground just around the corner." Soon, the jeep continued to drive and came to the back of the hill. Sure enough, I saw a group of people training in full swing. It seemed that they were performing leapfrog training, one after another, several strings jumping in one direction. When Yan Shining''s car arrived, the trained employees naturally saw it, but everyone did not care and continued to train intently. After the car stalled, Yan Shining and Xia Yu got out of the car, and Xia Yu followed Yan Shining to a place. "set!" Following Yan Shining''s cold drink, all the employees who were training stopped their leapfrogging and ran to three meters in front of Yan Shining, looking for a position and consciously lined up. "Look to the right!" Then, Yan Shining continued to shout slogans, and all the employees immediately turned their heads to the right and stepped into small steps. "Look forward!" "Hum!" "Huh!" As Yan Shining issued the order again, all employees were seen to look straight ahead in unison, and at the same time their lower bodies stopped. The movements were neat and uniform, which was very beautiful. Looking at the energetic employees with their heads up and chest straight, without squinting, Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile. "Report the numbers in each row in turn!" "1!" "2!" ... "20!" "Report instructor! There should be 20 people in a row, but 20 people! The report is over!" ... "Report instructor! Ten platoons should have 20 people, and there are actually 20 people! The report is over!" "Report to the boss, everyone is here! Please direct!" The line is over Yan Shining nodded slightly, then turned to salute Xia Yu, and reported loudly with a serious face. This sudden change made Xia Yu a little uncomfortable, but fortunately he was mentally strong and did not show it. He said flatly, "Very good!" After that, Xia Yu imitated the appearance of leaders reviewing the troops he had seen in his previous life, standing with his hands holding hands, facing everyone. All of them were wearing black and green camouflage uniforms and combat boots, looking straight ahead without squinting, with solemn faces, and a fierce and majestic aura emanating from the army. Had it not been known that most of these people were ordinary people before, Xia Yu would really think that these people were soldiers. I didn¡¯t expect Yan Shining to train these people in such a short time. I don¡¯t know about other things, but Xia Yu can see that the training is quite good in terms of order, prohibition and queue. It shows that Yan Shining is capable of training. It''s really big!

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 348: brainwashing? For loyalty! "Hello everyone, I''m Xia Yu, Yan Shining''s boss, and also your boss." "You have been training for half a month. I came here for the first time. You probably haven''t seen me before, but you should have heard my name!" Xia Yu said warmly, not pretending to be dignified, but deliberately showing his kind side, and narrowing the distance between them. At this moment, when Xia Yu paused, Yan Shining saluted and reported loudly: "Report to the boss, they all know you!" Xia Yu raised his brows and was a little curious. He was sure that he had never seen these employees and had never been here. How could these employees know him? Seeing Xia Yu''s some doubts, Yan Shining did not explain, but turned around and shouted with a serious expression: "Do you know the boss?" "understanding!" The two hundred people shouted in unison, and then without Yan Shining''s reminder, they shouted skillfully. "The boss gave us food!" "The boss gave us clothes!" "The boss is our food and clothing parent!" "Protecting the boss is our mission!" "Train hard and remove all obstacles for the boss!" "Wish to serve the boss!" Seeing everyone with red-faced necks shouting uniformly loud slogans, many people looked at Xia Yu with fiery eyes, and heard Xia Yu''s whole body get goose bumps. Xia Yu took a deep breath, the pupils in his eyes tightened, and he looked at Yan Shining subconsciously, but found that Yan Shining was looking at him calmly, with firmness in his eyes. Although he was shocked and full of doubts, Xia Yu knew that it was not the time to ask Yan Shining. Listening to this slogan is obviously brainwashing. It doesn''t matter if you call it twice, but depending on their level of proficiency, they definitely call it every day, and the number of calls in a day is definitely not small. If it were placed in the previous life, Xia Yu would definitely dislike this slogan brainwashing method, but in this life, the position is different, and the **** determines the head. He needs a group of loyal men to be the knife in his hand to **** him and remove all obstacles. Unexpectedly, Yan Shining, who usually seems to be upright, would silently engage in this set, which completely exceeded Xia Yu''s expectation. But I have to say that Xia Yu was very moved and satisfied. Withdrawing his mind, Xia Yu glanced over the faces of the employees in front of him, and found that all of them were looking at him with fiery eyes, and many of them were still flushing, which was obviously caused by excessive force and congestion on their faces. "Well, since you serve me, then I will not treat you badly!" Xia Yu sank to Dantian, his eyes were torch, and he said solemnly, speaking sonorously. "I now promise you that as long as I am not dead or bankrupt, and you are injured, I will do my best to treat you! If you lose the ability to work, I will raise you to the age! If you unfortunately sacrifice for me, your parents are mine. Parents, I will give your parents the end of their old age and raise your children to adulthood!" Following Xia Yu''s sonorous and powerful words, the scene was silent at first, and then an excited and powerful shout came from the queue. "Thank you boss, I am willing to serve the boss!" "Thank you boss, I am willing to serve the boss!" ... The shouts became louder and more orderly, and everyone looked excited. They fully believed Xia Yu''s promise, because they knew Xia Yu''s capital and strength, in front of so many people, it was impossible to lie to them. This promise completely relieves them of their worries, and they can devote themselves to training. Xia Yu watched them chanting slogans with a smile on his face. The deafening slogans looked so beautiful in his ears now. Half a minute later, Xia Yu raised his hand and everyone immediately calmed down. Obviously, Xia Yu''s prestige in their hearts has been greatly improved. Xia Yu showed satisfaction and said again: "Very good!" "Since I have promised, it will take effect all at once!" "I will spend 20 million Hong Kong dollars!" Xia Yu said solemnly, and at the same time his fingers were compared. As soon as this amount was astronomical for everyone, Xia Yu obviously felt that the employees in front of him were breathless, and there were many drooling sounds, which was obviously shocked by this number. "The establishment of a security fund has only one effect, and that is to implement my promise. The money will only be spent on you and your family. Everyone can watch. Can what I say can be realized!" "The specific management and regulations will be made within a week, and all of you will be able to see it then!" "Thank you boss! I am willing to serve the boss!" ... The loud slogan came out of the employees again, and Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. "Okay, continue training!" Following Xia Yu''s order, Yan Shining immediately took the conversation and shouted: "Training continues!" "Yes!" The team responded with a loud and tidy slogan, and then the left and right people lined up and ran to the training position at a tidy pace. Soon, Xia Yu saw everyone continue to leapfrog row by row, their movements neatly and uniformly. And Xia Yu found that they seemed to be enthusiastic about training like a chicken blood. Obviously, what Xia Yu said just now played a big role. Next, Xia Yu was on the sidelines watching everyone training, and Yan Shining kept giving orders midway. After the leapfrog, everyone did push-ups, followed by a 100-meter sprint, combined physical training, etc. Time passed by, Xia Yu did not leave, but watched with gusto, and had a very intuitive feeling about Yan Shining''s training ability. When Yan Shining acted as a bodyguard for him, he was in a state of calm, calm and few words. In front of Yan Hong, he was like a kind father. But when he arrived at the training ground, he was unsmiling, always grimace, with a cold-blooded and ruthless look. When the employees were not well-trained, he also kicked and played when he needed to play, showing no mercy. And when someone really couldn''t stand it, he put away that cold expression again, became very humane, allowed employees to rest, and personally relieved employees'' legs when they had cramps, wiped off sweat and handed water. , But won the gratitude of employees. "The sticks and carrots are used in the right way. I can''t see that Yan Shining has such an ability to train and manage his subordinates, so he is really suitable for being an instructor." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and said in secret. Soon, it was noon, Yan Shining called to stop closing the team, and everyone was over again. "I declare to attack the enemy!" Following Yan Shining''s order, starting from a row, the team members ran in a line in one direction. And Yan Shining returned to Xia Yu''s side. "What is this?" Xia Yu asked Yan Shining. "Boss, it''s lunch time, they are now running to the cafeteria." Yan Shining replied truthfully Hearing Yan Shining''s answer seriously, Xia Yu smiled openly. Just now, I saw Yan Shining shouted so solemnly, and attacked the enemy with a decisive expression. Then, all the team members also looked serious, as if they were really charging. They didn''t expect to go to the cafeteria to eat! Seeing Xia Yu smiled, Yan Shining also grinned, knowing where the smile was. He explained: "Boss, this is also one of the methods of training, which affects them subtly and makes them remember to obey orders." Hearing this, Xia Yu stopped laughing, but solemnly nodded, patted Yan Shining''s shoulder with his right hand, and exclaimed. "with your''s!" Yan Shining grinned upon hearing this. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 349: Aegis Security "Let''s go, I''m also eating in the cafeteria, see how the food is!" After finishing speaking, Yan Shining led the way, leading Xia Yu and Li Wuming towards the cafeteria. When he came to the canteen, Xia Yu saw all the employees line up in an orderly manner. Several long black and green dragons passed through the canteen from the window. Ran his gaze randomly in the cafeteria, Xia Yu''s gaze suddenly stopped, looking at a super-large color photo hanging on the cafeteria wall, which turned out to be a half-length photo of him. Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining suspiciously, asking him to explain. Yan Shining has been mentally prepared for a long time, and immediately explained: "Boss, I''m sorry, this is a decision I made without authorization. I think you should be everywhere, boss, and let them remember you all the time." Hearing this explanation, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, but Yan Shining had to go all the way to the dark, which was a great effort. But I have to say that Yan Shining''s purpose for doing this is also for Xia Yu. The starting point is good, but there is a tendency to cult personality. "I''m interested!" Xia Yu gave a positive comment, and Yan Shining couldn''t help but smile. "Boss, please come with me and go to the back kitchen here." Yan Shining said that he would take Xia Yu back to the kitchen, but was stopped by Xia Yu. "No, let''s line up together, there is no need to treat them differently." Yan Shining was taken aback, and immediately understood Xia Yu''s thoughts. He obediently said, "Okay." Then, he followed Xia Yu to the back of a team and lined up. Seeing the boss Xia Yu lined up behind, the employees in front were a little nervous, and after shouting "boss", they wanted to give way to Xia Yu, but Xia Yu stopped him. "Don''t be nervous, I''ll just line up." Xia Yu smiled gently, giving the employees in front of him a feeling like a spring breeze, and he instantly relieved his nervousness. This scene was seen by the surrounding employees. Many people felt warm. They had a better impression of the boss Xia Yu, and Xia Yu''s goal of gathering people''s hearts was achieved. As the boss, Xia Yu didn''t put on the boss''s airs. Instead, he lined up with them, ate and drank together, and did not specialize. This is a respect, and everyone feels it. Soon, it was Xia Yu and the others. Xia Yu looked at the dishes in the basin and nodded secretly. There are meat and vegetables, four dishes and one soup, the main dish is steak, the next one is pork knuckle stewed with soybeans, the next one is pork stir-fried vegetables, the last one is cabbage, and the soup is egg soup. In addition, there are a lot of hard-boiled eggs on another plate, if anyone wants them, they can pick them up. The combination of meat and vegetables, with balanced nutrition, can indeed supplement energy and nutrition for the hard-trained employees. While ¡¡¡¡ was cooking, Xia Yu asked an employee next to him: "How do you feel about the food?" "Report to the boss, the food is very good! I have never had such a good meal at home!" The employee immediately replied respectfully, subconsciously standing upright. "Is this standard usually?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and asked again. "Report to the boss, yes, the dishes are different for a week, but they are all based on this standard." The employee replied again. "Ok!" "Take more, you can only train when you are full!" Xia Yu cared and said that the employees were very moved. After ¡¡¡¡, after finishing the meal, Xia Yu sat at the same table with the employees and chatted with them about the homework while eating. Several employees at the same table were very moved. "Let''s go, go to their dormitory and have a look!" After eating, Xia Yu said to Yan Shining, and then followed Yan Shining to their dormitory. The dormitory is still a simple assembled board-style room, but because it is summer, it doesn¡¯t matter. On the contrary, sleeping at night will be even cooler. Entering a dormitory, Xia Yu was surprised again, because he saw his photo again, but this time it was not one, but there were many. There was a picture of him on the wall of each bed. The first time the employees closed their eyes and opened their eyes when they woke up, they saw the photo of him. Don''t think about it, it must be Yan Shining''s request. Even Xia Yu is a little embarrassed to achieve this level. Even the unsmiling Li Wuming couldn''t help his mouth twitching, and he looked at Yan Shining seriously, as if he wanted to know him again. Yan Shining seems to be the essence of engaging in personality cult and brainwashing. In future generations, if he joins an MLM organization, he will be a gold medal brainwashing expert in an MLM organization. This is so different from his previous impression in Xia Yu''s mind. Xia Yu is a little doubtful if he is the same person? This time, Xia Yu didn''t say anything, but patted Yan Shining on the shoulder with emotion, and everything was silent. I walked all the dorms and chatted with the employees. When I saw that it was not early, I thought that the employees would be tired after training in the morning and would like to take a rest, so Xia Yu would not bother him anymore and take Yan Shi. Ning left their dormitory. I also watched what I should see, and I was relieved, it was time for him to leave. But before leaving, Xia Yu had to tell Yan Shining something. "Big Brother Yan, you know more about other things than I do. I can rest assured that you do things, so I won''t say more about this." "But you are responsible for the management and charter of the Employee Security Fund. You should remember what I said in the morning and expand according to the points I said. The purpose is to eliminate all the worries of employees. If I go back, I will Open a separate fund account and put the money in it." "By the way, let you set up a company to manage all personnel. Have you thought about the name of the company?" Xia Yu suddenly thought of something he had neglected before and asked Yan Shining. "Boss, what do you think of Aegis security?" Yan Shining had been prepared for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to report to Xia Yu. When Xia Yu asked, he immediately said the name he had thought about for a long time. "Aegis security?" "Aegis?" "Yes, this name is good, the shield of the gods, the meaning is very good." Xia Yu muttered a sentence or two, pondered for a few seconds, and said with a smile. Aegis can explain several meanings. The simple literal meaning is God¡¯s shield, and this power belongs to him, doesn¡¯t that mean he is a god? The other is the implication, the same defensive power as the Aegis, symbolizing absolute defensive power, and it is also very good. Seeing that the boss Xia Yu was satisfied, Yan Shining''s slight heart was also let go. "I will ask someone to register for you, but my plan is not to register at Hong Kong. Register overseas. It will be more convenient and less restrictive in the future." Xia Yu explained that although Yan Shining may not be able to understand the difference, he still explained it. "Boss, you can arrange it, it''s up to you!" Yan Shining said respectfully. "By the way, there is one more thing!" Xia Yu said suddenly, his expression becoming solemn. Seeing the change in Xia Yu''s expression, Yan Shining knew that it was a very important thing, and she reduced his smile, quietly waiting for Xia Yu''s order. "You also know that during this period of time I was acquiring the company, and I had a conflict with the Jardine Consortium. It is hard to guarantee that they will not use the three indiscriminate methods. At that time, you and your staff may be required to come over at any time. You must be prepared, and Strengthen training and improve their strength as soon as possible." Xia Yu said solemnly. "Understand!" Yan Shining stood up straight, and answered seriously. "Well, then continue to work hard for you, we will leave first!" Xia Yu patted Yan Shining on the shoulder and said with emotion. "Don''t worry, boss, I will not let you down!" Yan Shining promised Xia Yu didn''t say much, patted him on the shoulder again, and turned into the car. Li Wuming nodded towards Yan Shining, and then gave him a thumbs up, which made Yan Shining couldn''t help but smile. Then, Li Wuming got in the car, started fast, and drove away from the training ground. "All employees are honest people recruited from the bottom of society, many of them are porters at the docks, Yan Shining is thoughtful!" In the car, Xia Yu silently said, admiring inwardly. Only by living at the bottom and getting used to hard times, will I know how to cherish the present opportunity and appreciate the goodness of Xia Yu. At the same time, he is an honest duty and a porter, which proves that he has a strong willpower in bearing hardships and stands hard work and is more adaptable to high-intensity training. Thinking of this, Yan Shining really did it hard! I want to talk about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" with more like-minded people, follow "hot web articles or rdww444" on WeChat and talk about favorite books with more book friends Chapter 350: Keswick family meeting ?In the car, Li Wuming asked: "Boss, where are we going now?" Xia Yu did not rush to answer, but looked at his watch, only to find that it was 1.50 now, and it would definitely cost more than 2.05 to go home. It was too late to sleep, so it was better to go back to the company. Kuangsha Literature Network And Li Qian should also be still at the company. Xia Yu called her before and told her not to go home at noon and asked her to order takeaway. Li Qian does not have a car, and she will not leave the company and go home. "Go to Jiuding Newspaper Company!" Xia Yu instructed Li Wuming. "Ok!" Li Wuming responded briefly, and then the car drove in the direction of Jiuding Newspaper Company. The car came under the company building. As soon as Xia Yu got off the car, he saw Ma Qianjun''s shadow. At this time, he was leaning against a subordinate near the company, wearing a security uniform. That''s right, Ma Qianjun has become the company''s security guard. This was agreed with Li Qian''s efforts to persuade him, but Ma Qianjun didn''t mention salary to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu didn''t bother to say that, anyway, he definitely couldn''t treat him badly. It¡¯s just that although Ma Qianjun is a security guard, he is a maverick. He can¡¯t get along with other security guards. He is alone every day and often leaning under a tree. He seems to be closing his eyes and resting, but he is actually observing. Everything around is suspicious. Xia Yu retracted his gaze, did not take care of Ma Qianjun, and walked towards the company. "Good afternoon boss!" ... Although it was not time for work at this time, there were still some employees in the company. Seeing the boss Xia Yu came so early, he immediately greeted him respectfully, and Xia Yu nodded in response. When he came to the office, opened the door, he saw Li Qian lying on the table to rest, and did not enter the room to rest. Xia Yu stepped lightly, came to Li Qian, looked at her sleepy appearance, couldn''t help but smile. Then he picked up a thin piece hanging next to him and gently put it on Li Qian. Li Qian in his sleep frowned but still did not wake up, which made Xia Yu breathe a sigh of relief. Compared with the more girly Li Qian, Xia Yu appears energetic. Although he has been busy all morning, he does not feel sleepy at all. This is due to his practice of Tai Chi. He is full of energy and quick thinking every day. Do things very efficiently. Sitting at his desk, Xia Yu raised Erlang¡¯s legs and touched his smooth chin with his hand, but items kept flashing in his mind, checking for missing and missing things, and seeing what else he had not dealt with, what happened. To deal with it as soon as possible, what is more important, what is worth noting, etc. "Four goals, two true and two false. Two goals have been achieved. One fake Jardine Air Cargo Terminal was sold to Bao Yugang. Although it received more than 400 million funds, it did not weaken the financial strength of the Jardine Consortium. " "Once the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group succeeds, then the second largest Jardine Machinery Group and Wharf are left." "Thinking about it in another way, if I were the Keswick family, if the two companies were captured, I would absolutely thoroughly investigate the situation of my own companies to avoid repeated occurrences." "Thinking about it this way, the Jardine Machinery Group is easy to be exposed. The longer it is, the greater the possibility of exposure. It seems that we must act quickly. I just don¡¯t know how the Jardine Machinery Group¡¯s stock purchases are going. If it meets the requirements, Launch the offense as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams." "Moreover, bringing the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group over early is also of great benefit to the integration and reform of insurance companies." "As for the Wharf, it is unlikely to find much. After all, it started secretly buying a long time ago. Even if the Keswick family checked the transaction records of two months, the difference is not big, it is difficult to find out why, unless it is The investigation began a month ago." "However, according to the current situation, Wharf has reached the stage of finishing soon, no rush, no rush!" "Then go to the Galaxy Fund in the afternoon to see how the Jardine Machine Group''s secret purchase is going, and then make plans!" ... Two flowers bloom, one branch each! At the same time, in the Keswick family''s mansion, Old John, who had finished lunch long ago, did not go to sleep, although he was not in good spirits, but browsed with a document. Sitting across from Old John are Niu Bijian, one of his left and right armies, the chief executive of the Jardine Group, as well as his elder son Henry Keswick and his second son Charles Keswick. Henry Keswick is a few years older than Charles Keswick. He has been responsible for the operations of the Jardine Consortium in Southeast Asia and Australia. He traveled around and came back today. Henry Keswick also knew what had happened during this period. Because he knew, Charles Keswick, who was sitting next to him, looked gloomy and sat on the sofa without saying a word. Henry Keswick did not taunt his brother, but picked up a copy of the information provided by Niu Bijian and read it. This information is a detailed investigation of Xia Yu. Xia Yu, male... can''t tell whether he is a real genius or an agent of a certain force. Xia Jun, male, Xia Yu¡¯s cousin, is now a police officer at the Hong Kong Police Station. He ended the probation period early due to his merits in filing a case and became a regular employee. Because of his relationship with Xia Yu, Xia Yu was backed by Xia Yu. He is proud of his action, is well-known in the police station, and is appreciated by the chief superintendent Li Junxia, ??and is known as the star of the police station. Xia Lei, male, a relative of Xia Yu, was originally the Red Stick of the Tigers, daring to fight and fight, because of Xia Yu''s backing, his power has developed rapidly, and he has gathered a group of loyal brothers. Currently, it is estimated that there are more than 200 people under him. In fact, he has become the third in command of the Tigers, but because of the rapid development, it has caused a huge threat to the current leader of the Tigers. The two people are at odds with each other, and there is a deep contradiction. According to the analysis, if the development continues like this, one day they will meet. An internal conflict occurred. ... In addition to Xia Yu and Xia Yu''s family, as well as Xia Jun and Xia Lei''s reports, there are also investigation reports on other Xia Yu''s contacts on the bright side, and they are very detailed. The one hundred and forty-fifth years of the Keswick family and the energy of the Jardine Consortium are undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Of course, there are some relationships. Xia Yu only pretends to be in his own heart, and no one else knows, so the Keswick family can''t investigate it. After reading the information about Xia Yu''s personal connections, Henry Keswick''s eyes were a little surprised, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he picked up another report again, which was an evaluation report on Xia Yu''s investigation. It''s just that compared to the previous one, this corporate survey data is relatively crude, and Henry Keswick can''t help but frown. Because many places above use uncertain overviews, such as "possible", "recommendation" and other words. The most important point is that it is not clear whether Xia Yu is the spokesperson of a certain force. Because Xia Yu''s companies have all done offshore processing, the shareholding concealment is done very well. Not to mention that the Keswick family is a Xiangjiang family. Even if the U.S. government wants to investigate it, don''t even think about it for several years. The offshore processing work of Xia Yu¡¯s companies has never stopped. Up to now, there are still dedicated employees doing offshore company registration. The company¡¯s equity is encrypted layer by layer, which complicates the equity situation to cover up Xia Yu. Real equity ownership Galaxy Fund? " "What is the details of the Galaxy Fund that popped up suddenly? It''s been so long, still can''t be found at all?" Old John put down the information in his hand, frowned slightly, and asked Niubi firmly. Niu Bijian replied with shame, "Sorry, Chairman, I have exhausted all the methods, but I can''t find any information about the Galaxy Fund. This Galaxy Fund is very mysterious and is not registered in Xiangjiang. There is no way to check the specific equity. Who belongs to." "Secondly, there is no way to check the funds. The money of the Galaxy Fund is not in the British Galaxy such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, Hang Seng, and other foreign banks in Hong Kong. It is difficult to find it in other foreign banks or in Chinese banks. The point is aimless, it''s hard!" bq Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 351: Old John’s decision increased the risk ? As for the money of the Galaxy Fund, it is destined that Niu Bijian will not be able to find out. Niu Bijian wanted to break his head but couldn''t think that the money of the Galaxy Fund would be deposited in Guang''an Bank, a small inconspicuous bank with a total asset of only 200 million. Even if he thought about it, he couldn''t find it if he wanted to check it. After all, Guang''an Bank is Xia Yu''s bank. How could he be asked to check all the bank accounts? Hearing Niu Bijian''s explanation, although Old John was unwilling, he was able to understand the difficulty, so he didn''t blame his capable personnel. Old John frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and asked again: "Are there any employees who went to buy the Galaxy Fund? The insiders must know something about it!" Niu Bijian smiled bitterly when he heard this. Why didn''t he, a veteran of Shanghai, try to use small means when the inquiry was fruitless, but it is a pity that the personnel of the Galaxy Fund are isolated from the outside world, except for Xia Yu and Wang Qi , No one can contact those employees, how can he buy them? Niu Bijian explained the problem resistance, and Old John''s face became solemn. "Really cautious, it really has been conspiring with us for a long time!" Isn¡¯t that the case? How many major failures throughout the ages have been caused by conspiracy? How could Xia Yu make such a low-level mistake? The more so, the more vigilant the old John''s heart is for the Milky Way Fund shrouded in mist. What''s more, Xia Yu still has a more powerful Jiuding Securities Company, which has raised 600 million new funds. Now he has earned more than 400 million from Bao Yugang. The total amount of funds in his hands has reached 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is too destructive. so big! "Continue to investigate the Galaxy Fund. I will go to HSBC and Standard Chartered to ensure that our funds are secured." Old John said solemnly. After speaking, he continued to look down. Next, it is an explanation of the situation of more than one hundred companies under the Jardine Consortium or its shares. The focus of the analysis is only on those companies that have been listed and the shareholding companies, and the existing shareholding ratio has been divided into security levels. Those unlisted subsidiaries have more than 50% equity, and many of them are 100% controlled, so the explanation is written as unlisted. The investigation of listed companies is as follows: Owns more than 50% of the shares, five stars for safety, and only two companies. It owns 40%-50% of the shares, has four stars for safety, and has eight companies. It owns 30%-40% of the shares and has three stars for safety. There are seven companies. The largest of the seven companies is the Jardine Machine Group. It owns 20%-30% of the shares and has two stars in safety. There are 14 companies, including Wharf. Owning less than 20% of the shares, and one star in safety, are basically equity companies, and they are basically not the core enterprises of the consortium. The number is the largest, reaching 23 companies. Seeing these sorted out statistics, Old John''s face turned black. He didn''t expect that the rapidly growing consortium would have so many loopholes after so many years. Like the sniped Jardine Air Cargo Company and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, the original shareholding ratio is between 30%-40%, and the safety level is considered three stars. However, there are as many as forty-four listed companies including Samsung and below. Even if the companies that hold less than 20% of the shares are not counted as core enterprises, there are still 21. Looking at it this way, if Xia Yu will still attack, these 21 companies may be targeted. The safest way is to raise the equity of these companies to more than 40%, preferably 50% absolute holding. line. But the ideal is full, the reality is too skinny. If you want to increase the shareholding of these companies, the amount of money that needs to be spent is huge, which is simply unrealistic! So the only way is to have a trade-off and remedy the more important companies first. In other words, whichever hole Xia Yu sniped at, he would plug any hole, but there was a great risk of being robbed of two companies just like before. In other words, there is another way to do it once and for all, and that is to stifle the danger from the source. As long as Xia Yu no longer snipes him, or kills chickens and monkeys, and eliminates the same thoughts of other people, they have time to slowly figure out ways to rectify. If you pull up HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, you can use bank money to buy stocks and use them to increase their holdings. But this requires one very important thing, that is-time! It''s just that the danger has not been eliminated, and time has become the most extravagant thing! However, they lack time, and Xia Yu also has shortcomings, that is, lack of manpower and capital, and it is impossible to target all companies with loopholes in equity at the same time. Even if they want to attack, they will target a few of them. "Have you investigated the stock transactions of these companies?" Old John asked seriously. Niu Bijian looked ashamed and shook his head: "Chairman, I only got these materials out this morning. According to the list, a notice was issued in the morning to let each company send personnel to collect their own company¡¯s stock market transactions. If problems are found, Report in time." "I also arranged additional staff to collect the transaction information and analyze it based on the recent stock transactions of the air cargo terminal company and the insurance company, but it will take a few days because there are too many transactions to be collected!" Hearing the difficulties Niu Bijian said, Old John also felt a headache. This is really not anxious. In case of urgency, it is easy to ignore the details and may not find the problem. Dilemma! "No, the time is urgent. The only choice is the first choice. First, investigate the core companies that belong to the consortium, and then take care of other companies after removing the danger!" A thought flashed through Old John''s mind. After thinking about it, he took out a pen and drew a circle on the survey list, marking out the companies that need to be investigated. With a total market value of 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, the Jardine Matheson Group is a core enterprise under the Jardine Matheson Consortium. It is a leading company in the field. It only accounts for 37.1% of the shares. It has a safety rating of only three stars, which was highlighted by Old John. Wharf, together with the Land Group, is known as the Jardine Wings. It is one of the two pillars of the Jardine Consortium in the real estate industry. The safety level analyzed is only two stars, which was also highlighted by Old John. . In addition to , several other companies that have relatively low market capitalization but are core enterprises in nature have also been circled. After some circles, Old John first circled out eleven companies. After the circle was over, Old John handed the circled list to Niu Bijian, and Niu Bijian immediately took it. After a few glances, there was a glimmer of understanding in his heart. At this time, Old John¡¯s explanation came: ¡°First, focus on investigating the stock trading situation of these eleven companies. After the danger is eliminated, check the situation of other companies.¡± "Okay, Chairman, I will send someone to investigate immediately after I go back!" Niu Bijian nodded solemnly. From this moment on, the risk of Xia Yu¡¯s plan being discovered increased sharply, and the situation seemed to be shifting in a direction that was unfavorable to Xia Yu.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 352: Set off smoke bombs and fight assault Once again in the closed building, Xia Yu went straight to the area where the two groups responsible for the secret purchase of the shares of the Yihe Machinery Group were located. The first thing that came into view was a huge table on the wall. The top ten shareholders of Jardine Machinery Group. 1. Jardine Holding Company, holding 14.84 million shares, accounting for 37.1% of the total share capital, the type of change (unchanged), the number of changed shares (10,000 shares) 0. 2. Taichang Industrial Development Group, holding 2.548 million shares, accounting for 6.37% of the total share capital, change type (lighten up), change number of shares (thousand shares)-423,500 shares. 3. Lihuan Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. holds 2.096 million shares, accounting for 5.24% of the total share capital, type of change (lighten up), and the number of changed shares (ten thousand shares) -256,900 shares. ... 10. Xiangjiang Chuyuan Investment Development Co., Ltd. holds 996,000 shares, accounting for 2.49% of the total share capital. Type of change (unchanged), number of shares changed (10,000 shares) 0. As of July 21, 1978, 5 shareholders reduced their holdings, a total of 3.348 million shares were reduced, accounting for 8.37% of the total share capital. The data on this table changes in real time. Special personnel have been watching the changes in the stock price and trading conditions of the Jardine Machine Group, and then change the data in the table according to the real-time situation to keep abreast of the latest situation and progress. Because stock trading in the stock market, you can see which company sold it, and the buyer can also see it, but the key is whether the buyer is a glove or not. Just like Xia Yu, the title of each account is different, but Xia Yu is behind the names of these shell companies. Not to mention that in addition to the fake name, the bank account behind it is also an anonymous account. It is difficult for others to find Xia Yu! Although the list of the top ten shareholders was made, it did not include one''s own side. Otherwise, it would be counted as one''s own, and Xiangjiang Chuyuan Investment and Development Co., Ltd., now ranked tenth, would be squeezed out. Withdrawing his gaze from this list, Xia Yu asked Wang Gang, the third group leader who was waiting next to him: "Has the 8.37% of the shares reduced by these top ten shareholders come to our hands?" The ordinary-looking Wang Gang replied respectfully: "Yes, the boss, the stocks of the top ten shareholders are in our hands." Xia Yu nodded secretly and continued to ask: "How many stocks have been acquired from other small shareholders and retail investors?" Wang Gang was familiar with the data for a long time and immediately replied: "From the hands of other small shareholders and retail investors, as of this morning when the market closed, a total of 4.112 million shares were acquired, accounting for 10.28% of the total equity." "Adding the stocks acquired from these ten largest shareholders, all accounts now have a total of 7.46 million shares, accounting for 18.65% of the total equity." "A total of 207.48 million Hong Kong dollars!" After Wang Gang reported, he looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for the boss Xia Yu''s instructions. "18.65%...37.1%..." Xia Yu muttered these two data, his face was thinking. The former is the shareholding in his hand, and the latter is the shareholding ratio of Jardine Holdings. There seems to be a big gap between the two. "With so many equity, it can scare the Jardine consortium, but the gap is still a bit big, and the effect is estimated to be relatively poor. If it can raise more than 25%, it is considered ideal." Xia Yu said inwardly. And it is certain that the more stocks acquired now, the more money will be made then. Although Wang Gang did not say anything, Xia Yu also knew that it would be very difficult to buy stocks from the stock market. Because of the statistical data on the wall table and the addition of Jardine Holdings, the ten largest shareholders have accounted for 63.54% of the total shares. Counting his 18.65%, the total has reached 82.19%. This means that apart from their eleven shareholders, only 17.81% of the stocks are left in the hands of small shareholders and retail investors. This 17.81% is certainly not all willing to sell, and only 2% may be interested in selling stocks. -3% or so. So stock prices will definitely become sensitive, and it has become very difficult to quietly absorb from the stock market. The time is urgent now, and the longer it is delayed, the easier it is to be discovered by the Keswick family, and may even further affect the real acquisition target-Wharf. "It seems that a decisive battle is about to be launched, but before that, another lightning strike will quickly increase the shareholding ratio in the hand to more than 25%!" Xia Yu, who was squinting and thinking, suddenly opened his eyes, and Wang Gang seemed to see a sharp light flashing from the boss''s eyes. He and the other team leader immediately cheered up. "You continue to absorb in secret, pay attention to these two days, don''t be discovered!" "understand!" The two men looked solemn and responded in unison. "Go!" After sending the two away, Xia Yu recruited Ma Kai, the leader of the first group, Song Yang, the leader of the second group, Li De, the leader of the fifth group, and Liu Xiao, the leader of the sixth group, who had finished their mission. Seeing the four quietly lined up in a row, Xia Yu''s eyes swept across the faces of the four, nodding secretly, and said in a deep voice: "I know that your mission is complete. You have been investing freely during this period, but now you are free. The investment time is over, I will give you a new task." "Each group of yours is under the Jardine Consortium, and each of the companies that account for less than 30% of the shares will choose a listed company. Give me something to create some movement. See who makes the greater movement and can also make more money. !" Speaking of this, Xia Yu suddenly stopped, his eyes collided with those of the four, and then said with a meaningful smile: "This is an assessment! As for what assessment is, you can figure it out for yourself!" The eyes of the four of them all lit up, and their calm hearts were all disturbed by the last words of the boss Xia Yu, and the waves were upset. There is room for thinking! Assessment? In this way, the four of them are competitors. There are always some who are first and some are always the bottom. Not to mention the face problem, no one wants to be worse than others. The key is that there must be a reward from the boss if there is an assessment! name? Lee? right? Which one is it? Although they couldn''t guess what the boss was thinking, the more fascinating they were, the higher the expectations in their hearts. "Go! Act as soon as possible!" With a wave of his hand, Xia Yu sent away the four changing faces. Seeing how often the four of them walked in a competitive manner, Xia Yu''s mouth turned into a smile. The four team leaders, including Liu Xiao, are all elites who have undergone testing, and there is a group of subordinate employees who cooperate with die cutting and are not weak underneath, plus Xia Yu¡¯s sufficient financial support, the energy that can be exerted is Very powerful! It is foreseeable that four catfish will rush into the stock market to stir up the muddy water that has attracted a large number of people''s attention. "Without suppressing my hidden commands, they will definitely be able to release their abilities and definitely attract the attention of the Keswick family." "With the cover of the smoke bombs created by Liu Xiao, it is time for Wang Qi to send people to contact the nine major shareholders besides Jardine Holdings. With both software and hard work, it will definitely be able to handle two to three shareholders in a short time. Definitely enough to mention more than 25%." "The news will almost reach the Keswick family''s ears by then, and it will happen that the Keswick family will also need to know by then!" After that, Xia Yu immediately assigned Wang Qi the surprise acquisition, and Wang Qi was ordered to immediately formulate an acquisition plan, striving to succeed in every deal! Looking at the busy employees, Xia Yu came to the window with his hands on his shoulders, raised his head to look at the dazzling fireball above his head, and a smile of expectation appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 353: Smoke ? Liu Xiao and the four quickly picked out a favorite operation target, and then immediately summoned personnel to engage in the operation. In one afternoon, the four teams were all secretly sweeping cargo to accumulate ammunition. In the morning of the next day, Niu Bijian was in the office of the president of the Jardine Group to deal with business affairs, but kept a moment of attention on the phone. "Ring Ling Ling..." I don¡¯t know how long it took, the phone rang, and Niu Bijian didn¡¯t hesitate, and immediately connected: "Hey!" "What? The stock price of Yining Home Furnishing is not rising normally? Only starting today?... Pay close attention, I''ll be here later!" After hanging up the phone, Niu Bijian stood up and quickly went to the observation room. The observation room is an office specially set up by him to serve as the information hub and dispatch center for this operation. Following the company''s self-examination found the problem, the information was reported to the observation room as soon as possible, and the observation room then summarized and reported it to Niu Bijian. If Niu Bijian has any orders, those companies will also be notified in the name of the observation room. With the establishment of an observation room, Niu Bijian can be freed, without facing telephone bombing, and work more efficiently. The call just now came from the observation room, saying that the stock price of a company whose security level barely reaches three-star fluctuates abnormally. In this special period, of course Niu Bijian''s nerves are of course sensitive. Can he not pay attention? Soon, Niu Bijian came to the observation room. He went straight to the person in charge of the observation room and asked, "What is the specific situation?" The head of the observation room, Zhou Sen, is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He wears a pair of glasses and is gentle and gentle. At first glance, people will think that this person is capable and knowledgeable. Zhou Sen helped his glasses and replied calmly: "President, please look at it. This is the information we have collected." Niu Bijian immediately took it over and browsed. Yining Home Furnishing, Jardine Holdings accounted for 30.2%, the total market value of 38.28 million closed last night, the single share price 3.828 Hong Kong dollars. The latest stock price is 4.27 yuan, with a total market value of 42.7 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 11.5%. Seeing these few data, Niu Bijian frowned. There is no good news for Yining Home Furnishing, but the stock price has risen by 11.5% in a short period of time. It is clear that someone is trying to attract money to raise the stock price. For the first time, Niu Bijian had two companies, Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund, in his mind. "In this way, you send..." Niu Bijian thought for a few seconds and gave an order to Zhou Sen, but just after talking about a few people, an employee rushed over with some expression and shouted: "President, another company''s stock price has fluctuated abnormally." Niu Bijian and Zhou Sen looked at this employee reflexively. The employee suddenly didn''t know what to say when the two big bosses saw him. Fortunately, at this time, Niu Bi insisted: "Which company is the problem?" "It''s Maxim''s Catering Company. Some institutions are doing stocks. Now the stock price fluctuates drastically." Seeing Niu Bijian frowning slightly, Zhou Sen was stunned for a second, guessing that Niu Bijian might not remember the situation of Maxim¡¯s Catering Company clearly, so he explained: ¡°At the close of the market yesterday, the market value of Maxim¡¯s Catering Company was 36 million Hong Kong dollars, and we own 27.5%. Shares." "Another one! And the market value is more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars!" Niu Bijian suddenly felt an unusual breath. There are no singularities. Bad news is always one after another, as if an appointment has been made. Soon another employee rushed in with a look. "President, Lifa International''s stock price has not moved violently, it is suspected that there is an institution in stock!" The faces of Niu Bijian and Zhou Sen both became solemn. Without frowning Niu Bijian this time, Zhou Sen immediately explained: "Lifa International had a market value of around 47 million when the market closed yesterday, and we have a 23.8% stake." Hearing this, Niu Bijian felt even more uneasy. The market value of this company is higher, but its shareholding is only 23.8%, which is close to 20%. In case the other party has lurked for a long time like the Jardine Air Cargo Company and Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, then the other party can easily take it away. The position of the largest shareholder is in trouble! "There is a problem together, yes, it is definitely them!" Niu Bijian affirmed in his heart. Time is urgent, we must arrange it first, and then increase the shares! Niu Bijian ignored the reporting staff, went straight to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. "The enemy has started, and Yining Home Furnishing and Maxim''s Catering also have the shares of Lifa International, and they immediately rushed to buy them." Niu Bijian quickly issued the order. At this time, an employee hurriedly ran from outside. Zhou Sen couldn''t sit still. He immediately greeted him and asked first: "Which company has a problem?" "The manager is Fidelity Industries with a market value of 60 million Hong Kong dollars. The stock price is now fluctuating drastically." "President, Fidelity Industrial''s stock price has also gone wrong." Zhou Sen immediately communicated to Niu Bijian loudly. Niu Bijian, who hasn''t finished hanging up the phone, immediately said solemnly: "Add another Fidelity Industry, and immediately snap up the stocks, hurry! I''ll be here later!" "Patter!" After speaking, Niu Bijian, who had become anxious, hung up the phone and immediately dialed the internal telephone of the Keswick family. "Hey¡­¡­" Soon the call was connected, and Old John''s old voice came from the microphone. "The chairman is me. Now there are four companies whose share prices have problems at the same time. None of them are core companies. They are Yining Home Furnishing, Maxim''s Catering, Lifa International and Fidelity Industries, all with a market value of more than 30 million to 6,000. I don¡¯t know what the specific situation is, I have already asked people to snap up the purchase immediately!" Niu Bijian reports quickly. The old John, who was far away in the Keswick family hall, had a cold face and said without hesitation: "Don''t worry about funding, just do it!" With an order from Old John, Niu Bijian was instantly confident and instructed Zhou Sen to keep an eye on him. After reporting important news as soon as possible, he set off for the stock market operations team. Part of the investigation and analysis force of the Jardine Consortium also quickly tilted toward these four companies to ensure that they get the most accurate information, keep these four companies, and drive them back. This is exactly what Xia Yu wanted to see, the smoke flick worked! Not only the Jardine Consortium, many other financial institutions have also launched momentum, trying to find opportunities to start. Due to two consecutive snipers, the Jardine Consortium was caught off guard and lost the core enterprise. Many interested people in the outside world have quietly changed their mentality, and they want to rush to take a bite of the meat. The first two wars ended too fast, and they had gameover before they had time to make an action plan. Moreover, the previous two companies were too large, and for those small and medium-sized financial institutions, they did not have the strength to take a share. But this time, four companies suddenly emerged, all of which are small listed companies. Any institution is eligible, and the water is muddier than before. Who can''t be moved? For a time, the stock market was filled with smoke! Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 354: Judge ? "Buy hard!" "Buy, buy, buy!" "If someone takes the order, you will earn it if you buy it. Don''t lose the opportunity!" ... With the fierce competition between the two sides, more and more attention is placed on the stock prices of these four companies, and many financial institutions have entered the market to raise money. Where there are major events, there are media! The Mysterious Galaxy Fund, which succeeded in winning the prestigious name twice, made another move. Four bullets were launched to attack the Jardine Consortium. A huge amount of funds flooded into the stock market. Such a blast of news immediately suppressed all other news. "Taking advantage of the victory, the Galaxy Fund makes another move! The sword points to Yihe!" "The opportunity to get rich overnight has come, and the stockholders who own these stocks have made it!" ... For a while, the headline party and the shocked party flew together. When it comes to money, readers couldn''t help but be curious. After understanding, they also focused on the stock market, hoping to follow the trend and make a fortune. Under this situation, the stock prices of four companies including Fidelity Industries have soared, but more people want to buy these four stocks. And many stockholders and shareholders who originally held the stock are also holding on to not want to sell, hoping that the stock price will rise a little higher, sell at the highest point, and make more money. This has greatly increased the pressure and difficulty of the acquisition of Jardines. Fortunately, the old John let Niu Bijian not have to worry about funding issues, otherwise Niu Bijian would really have a big head. ... "Boss, another shareholder has been taken, and 3.74% of the shares in the sixth shareholder have been bought!" Wang Qi reported the good news to Xia Yu. When Xia Yu heard the words, he showed appreciation and laughed, "Good job!" You can do it! In less than two days, Wang Qi took over the three shareholders of Jardine Machinery Group and successively acquired 2.99%, 2.68% and 3.74% of the shares. Although they are all the lower-ranked shareholders, the first few shareholders who own 6.37%, 5.24% and 4.99% have not settled, but together, they have acquired 9.41% of the equity. Coupled with the acquisition of 0.21% from the stock market, plus the 18.65% equity in his previous hands, Xia Yu already owns 28.27% of the equity in the Jardine Machinery Group! The gap with Jardine Holdings has been reduced to 8.83%. This threat is absolutely full! But before doing it, let¡¯s take a look at how Liu Xiao¡¯s four are doing! After all, although the number of Fidelity Industrial''s four companies is large, and there is a lot of noise now, the total market value adds up to that point. If the competition for the Jardine Machinery Group starts, the limelight will definitely overshadow these four companies in an instant. The lack of popularity makes it even more difficult for the stock price to soar. One more thing, if it is figured out that these companies are just smoke bombs, and Jardines no longer resolutely rush to raise money, the stock price will be close to the peak value. If the stocks are not sold and turned into profits, they will be in their hands! For these companies, Xia Yu currently has limited funds and does not want to buy them. He does not want to trade in stocks, and finally sells himself as a shareholder. Don''t forget, his purpose is to secure the funds of Yihe and reduce the threats in the future. It would be great if he could get the money from Yihe! When he came to the closed building next door, Xia Yu saw four groups of people who were still busy. "It''s about to start with the Jardine Machine Group. How is the situation of your groups?" Xia Yu asked. "Report to the boss, our group has won 1.04 million shares of Maxim''s Catering, accounting for 3.24%. The current stock price has increased by 78.4%, and the floating profit has reached 914,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Ma Kai answered first. Xia Yu nodded secretly. Without making any preliminary preparations, the amount of Fuying reached HK$914,000 in two days, which is pretty good! "Report to the boss, our group has won 980,000 shares of Yining Home Furnishing, accounting for 3.21%. The current stock price has increased by 79.8%, and the floating profit has reached 980,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Li De replied confidently. Hearing Li Debao''s results, Ma Kai''s expression stagnated, his fists clenched unconsciously. "Reporting to the boss, our group won 1.45 million shares of Lifa International, accounting for 3.12%. The current stock price has increased by 77.6%, and the floating profit has reached 1.138 million Hong Kong dollars!" Song Yang smiled at the corner of his mouth and reported the situation of his team, which made Li De and Ma Kai feel cool, and immediately realized that they had suffered from the wrong target choice. The Lifa International Company operated by Song Yang has a lower stock price increase than them, and the proportion of equity raised is less than that of them, but Lifa International cannot bear the high market value, which is 10 million more than the target of the two candidates. Left and right, the base is large, even if the increase is small, the floating profit will be higher. Thinking of choosing the base of the company, the two subconsciously looked at Liu Xiao, who was still calm at this time. They remembered that the Fidelity Industry selected by Liu Xiao had the highest market value, reaching 60 million Hong Kong dollars! Xia Yu also looked at Liu Xiao, and a glimmer of expectation quietly rose in his heart. "Boss, Fidelity Industrial''s stock has grabbed 1.65 million shares, accounting for 3.89% of the total share capital. The current stock price has increased by 91% and the floating profit has reached 2.12 million Hong Kong dollars!" Liu Xiao bowed slightly, his face calmly reporting. As soon as he said this, the smiles on Song Yang''s face froze for an instant, Li De and Ma Kai opened their mouths slightly, and they both shook their heads and smiled bitterly. "Good job!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Liu Xiao finally showed a humble smile on his calm face, bowing slightly and said. Win without arrogance! The soul is strong enough, and the three of Song Yang are still a little worse than him. Xia Yu secretly contrasted the performance of the four in his heart and came up with an opinion. In addition, Liu Xiao''s ability was also recognized by Xia Yu. Xia Yu is a financial veteran. Although the data reported by Liu Xiao and the other four are simple, the information revealed is not simple. The aftermath of the previous war has not yet settled, and now the war has been provoked again, and there are still hot spots in the media, coupled with Jardine''s resolute rush to raise the stock price of these four companies, it is normal for the stock prices of these four companies to rise! But how much the increase is, you can see the intensity of the grab. Fidelity Industrial¡¯s stock price rose the most, and it is undoubtedly the most intense. It also shows that Liu Xiao¡¯s rush to raise is the most resolute. This can also be reflected in the proportion of equity he has rushed to raise. The increase in stock prices actually depends on the buyer''s determination, that is, the confidence in the stock. Liu Xiao''s determination to rush to raise will naturally be seen by others. Confidence is contagious. Whether it is Jardines or those institutions and retail investors who want to drink soup, whether it is spontaneous or being held in by the general trend, it will increase confidence in stocks and reflect it in the stock market. The result of the stock price soaring! Sniper in the stock market actually has to test your acting skills and make others believe that you really want to **** the company, not just to snipe the green blackmail. Only in this way can you succeed. Otherwise, if others see through that you just want to blackmail, they will naturally not worry. The stock price will not rise, and it will be difficult to sell if you buy it. The result of sniping will be very small, and you may even raise the stock price as a wedding dress for others. But the stock market sniper requires not only acting skills, but also a big heart and a calm mind to seize the opportunity to make a fatal blow and quickly retreat. "It seems that compared to the three of Song Yang, Liu Xiao''s sniper talent is stronger, and people with big hearts have a greater advantage in the financial market!" Xia Yu commented in his heart that his impression of Liu Xiao has improved a bit. Before, Xia Yu had a good impression of Liu Xiao, because when he bought the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, his group had a lot more stocks than Li De¡¯s group You don¡¯t want it. Frustration is so early, and the assessment has not ended. After all, the floating profit is a floating profit. Only the profit obtained is the money. The high floating profit now does not mean that the final profit is also high! " Xia Yu glanced across the faces of the four of them, reminding them. Hearing this, Song Yang''s eyes brightened, especially Ma Kai, who is now the last one, his eyes became firm. Yu Guang unconsciously glanced at Li De beside him, but he remembered that Li De''s surplus was only better than him. Tens of thousands high, although it is difficult to surpass Song Yang and Liu Xiao, the third is better than the last one! Realizing that the fighting spirit of several people was aroused again, Xia Yu nodded secretly and said, "Go ahead, hurry up!" "Yes!" The four people agreed in unison, then returned to their respective groups and quickly arranged them.

I originally planned to finish the overtime and go back to the codeword. Now it seems that none of them can''t get away at one and a half. It''s just over two o''clock when I go back and take a bath, there is no way to change it. So there is no way tonight, I can only ask everyone for a day off, sorry! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 355: Clearance immediately "There is a big selling order, everyone scans the goods quickly!" In the operating room where the stocks were bought quietly, there was a sudden cry of exclamation, and then everyone was energetic and quickly placed the order to sweep the goods. Niu Bijian, who just came to the door, heard the exclamation of his subordinates, and was shocked, and quickly walked behind them, watching the operations of his staff with scorching eyes. Because all the employees were assaulted and eager to sweep the goods, they did not find that President Niu Bijian had come behind them. Niu Bijian didn''t bother and watched quietly. When he saw a large sum of stocks being bought by his subordinates, his mouth couldn''t help but smile. There are too many. In this short period of time, at least 500,000 shares of Maxim''s Catering have been rushed to raise, which is definitely more than 1%. But before that, it was very difficult to raise more than half a million shares, and I didn¡¯t know if it could be completed all morning! At present, most of the stocks in their hands are purchased through direct transactions with shareholders. In fact, only a minority of them are bought on the stock market. Under Niu Bijian''s observation, the selling orders on the market were cleared and empty. After waiting for a few minutes, no new selling orders came out. At this time, the operation team leader breathed a sigh of relief. The operation team leader couldn''t help twisting his neck. Yu Guang happened to see Niu Bijian standing behind him. He was shocked and hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, President!" With a gentle smile on his face, Niu Bijian asked, "How many 10,000 shares have been acquired?" "President, just now a big seller cleared the stock, and the total number of three times released at least one million shares, we grabbed more than 900,000 shares, the exact number will be known after statistics!" The leader of the operation team reports respectfully. Niu Bijian laughed when he heard the words, patted the shoulder of the operation team leader, and praised: "Good job!" Niu Bijian has no doubt about the clearance of big sellers, because this is too normal. Not all small shareholders or retail investors are full of confidence or greed. Now that the stock price of Maxim''s Catering is rising so high, there will always be people who think that the stock price is about to reach its peak. This situation is very common in the stock market, and Niu Bijian sees not too much! Otherwise, why should he let people raise prices to grab money? Isn''t it aimed at those shareholders or retail investors who lack confidence or are relatively ungreedy? "Maxim Catering Company should be considered safe!" Niu Bijian said a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said inwardly. With sufficient financial support from Old John, Niu Bijian, in order to avoid the recurrence of the previous events, immediately targeted the stocks in the hands of those major shareholders after the acquisition task was arranged, directly acquired at a high premium, and rapidly increased his shareholding. In addition to the stocks purchased directly from shareholders and the stocks raised from the stock market, he now holds a 48.8% stake in Maxim''s Catering. Although it has spent a lot of money, Niu Bijian does not care because the company is safe. It''s only a little over a little bit away from the absolute holding line of more than 50%. He saved a company! Just seeing this is enough! How much money was wasted, this is not in his consideration! "There are major shareholders to clear the stock, and the speed is sweeping!" At this moment, another operation team leader¡¯s reminder came from the other side. Niu Bi couldn¡¯t help but follow his reputation. He could not help but move his feet away when he saw the employees taking action. . This time, it was Yining Home Furnishing''s stock that directly smashed a million-share selling order. All the listed buy orders were instantly taken lightly, and the originally rising stock price was directly beaten to a standstill. But the operators don''t have the time or the mind to think about so much. They only know to execute the previous order and grab the money at all costs! Now suddenly there is such a big selling order, of course it is to eat it first! Yining Home Furnishing had not finished buying the stocks, and an exclamation came from the other side: "Lifa International''s big selling order, sweep the goods!" With an exclamation, the operation team responsible for the acquisition of the shares of Lifa International also quickly started operations. "Wow! Fidelity Industries is a big selling order, sweep it!" The last group of operations team responsible for purchasing Fidelity Industrial shares also heard commotion. Good news appeared one after another, which should have been something to be happy about, but Niu Bijian frowned slightly and fell into thought. "Nothing! It''s normal for one company to have big selling orders, but it''s a coincidence that all four companies have big selling orders one after another!" Niu Bijian looked at the busy employees, his face trembled, but he still didn''t let them stop. No matter what''s wrong, the stock is always right when he gets it. In case he feels wrong and asks the employees to stop the acquisition and the stock is bought by the Galaxy Fund, it will be a big trouble. At most, it is just a matter of money, supported by the chairman, which is beyond his consideration. ... However, it is said that on the exchange, when millions of shares of Maxim Foods were sold, the stock price directly stagnated and did not rise, and many stockholders who stared closely at the trading board immediately became energetic. It is a matter of self-interest, and if the situation changes, they must make a decision immediately. If the stock price may continue to rise, continue to hold the stock and wait and see. If the stock price is likely to fall, then quickly clear the position and escape the battlefield. A seat on the side of the exchange belongs to a small fund company that has only been established for two years, named Lin Sen Fund. The founder and current general manager is Lin Sen. Because Lin Sen dares to fight, he should be decisive. , Is not greedy, and has good ability. After two years, he has also made a certain name in a small area. His investment concept is "If I can earn 100, I only earn 90!" This investment concept has indeed been recognized by many investors seeking stability! As the saying goes, Chuan Xiaohao turned around. When he received the news at the first time, Lin Sen did not hesitate to follow up with a large sum of money, grabbing the stock of Maxim¡¯s Catering, hoping to take a ride on the Galaxy Fund and drink some broth. . Not to mention, because he worked decisively, he contacted a minority shareholder and bought the stock from that minority shareholder, so that his own stock reached 350,000 shares. After two days, the stock price of Maxim¡¯s Catering has risen steadily, and his floating profit has reached 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. Seeing that the stock price of Maxim¡¯s Catering continues to rise, the future earnings will definitely be higher. For this reason, Lin Sen is in a good mood, and most of his attention is devoted to the stock price of Maxim''s Catering Company every day. Of course, he saw the big selling order of millions of shares the first time. At that moment, he was full of spirits, and his expression instantly became solemn. Millions of stocks were smashed out, it''s not a joke, there are too many things to ponder! "Who sold it? Such a large sum is definitely a shareholder who owns more than 3% of the shares. Could it be said that this shareholder got any negative insider information?" "If...this stock is sold by Galaxy Fund that would be bad!" An irritability arose in Lin Sen''s heart. He hopes that the stock price will continue to rise, but he is also worried about the risks. If the list of millions of stocks is really sold by the Galaxy Fund, then the stock price is likely to reach its peak. He was not fooled. He knew that the stock price could rise so sharply and so high. The main reason was that the Galaxy Fund started to rush to raise funds with Jardine. If the Galaxy Fund retreats, the other guerrillas will not be the opponents of the Jardine Consortium. Instability, the stock price will be unstable, and even if everyone happens to liquidate together, it is easy to cause the stock price to plummet suddenly and the funds will be locked up! "Forget it, just take it when you see it, you''ve already made so much, it''s time to be content, greedy people don''t always live long!" After weighing fiercely in his heart, Lin Sen let out a long sigh, and finally made up his mind to uphold his own investment concept! "Clear off Maxim''s Catering immediately!" Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero Chapter 356: Old john gaffe ? Following his order, the employees who were ready for a long time immediately took action and executed the instructions of the general manager Lin Sen. Soon, there was another big selling order on the stock market, and the staff of Jardines did not hesitate, and quickly swept the goods. Another big sell order appeared! Many people with vital interests suddenly changed their complexions, smelled an unusual aura, and the sense of surprise in their hearts became stronger! Some pragmatic investors and institutions dared not take any risks, and quickly began to act, wanting to cash out and leave the market... With the passage of time, Yining Home Furnishing, Lifa International, and Fidelity Industries were hit by big selling orders and stopped rising. The news spread quickly and soon everyone in the entire exchange knew. And under word of mouth, it spread quickly to the outside world. "No, it should be the Galaxy Fund''s clearance and departure. Let''s withdraw quickly!" "The stock price has peaked, run!" ... Some people with powerful intelligence or quick minds immediately thought of a possibility and act quickly! And Xia Yu also anticipated this situation. In order to cause greater troubles to Jardine and make their funds locked up, Xia Yu insidiously asked Wang Qi to send someone to reveal the news after his stock was sold. Get out. There is news from Jiuding Securities that those institutions or retail investors holding stocks can sit still and immediately put up selling orders to cash out. Naturally, the operators on Jardine''s side suddenly found that more and more sell orders were hanging, and the stock price fluctuated sharply and even dropped slightly. "President, there are many selling orders on the market, but things are not right!" "President, our side is also here, do you want to continue the acquisition?" "President..." Following feedback from one group leader, several other groups also offered drinks. For a while, the entire operation room became a little noisy. Niu Bijian frowned tightly, realizing that something was wrong with the bone! "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the phone on the desk rang suddenly, and a person in charge immediately answered the call. After listening for a few seconds, his face changed drastically, and he said to Niu Bijian when he didn''t come and hang up the phone. "President, after receiving the news, the Galaxy Fund has all liquidated its positions and deliberately leaked the news in order to create disorderly panic." Niu Bijian''s face suddenly became gloomy, he hurried to the phone and took the call. "I am Niu Bijian, what is the situation?" "President..." Niu Bijian listened in silence, his expression gloomy, and after a while, he hung up the phone without saying a word. The atmosphere in the operation room has become heavier and heavier, and some employees who are placing orders have also unknowingly slowed down, looking at the person in charge of their own group frequently. Realizing that it was not good, the person in charge of the operation team responsible for purchasing Fidelity Industrial stocks brought up the courage and reminded with a worried face: "President, shall we continue to purchase?" Niu Bijian glanced at him, and then asked the operating staff: "How is the stock price?" "President, the stock price is falling, and there are more and more selling orders..." An employee quickly said. "Fuck!" Niu Bijian cursed inwardly, suddenly feeling very troublesome. Trouble! He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said solemnly: "Continue to buy, stabilize the stock price, buy as many as there are, until there is no sell order!" "Yes!" With his order, all the employees no longer hesitate, and immediately increased their efforts to sweep the goods, and kept taking orders. Although there are more and more stocks in his hands, Niu Bijian is not at all happy, he is pitted! The Galaxy Fund was just sniping and blackmailing them, and it caused him a big trouble! If the Galaxy Fund retreats, let¡¯s retreat. Even if you take the money and leave, the Galaxy Fund is still doing things that are detrimental to others. It is estimated that it will promote its liquidation position. It is clear to tell those investors that the stock price has reached its peak, and quickly liquidate to cash out! The consequence of this is the way it is now. After some simple investors understood, they immediately placed a sell order to cash out. But in this way, all the pressure has been transferred to Yihe! Do you want to continue buying? The Galaxy Fund has retired, the company is safe, and the equity in the hands is also sufficient, and it is reasonable to say that there is no need to purchase again. But this is your own company. If you don''t continue to buy stocks and sell a single lot on the market without a buyer, what will happen? Sellers lower their selling prices and rush to cash out. As soon as they follow suit, the stock price will fall. If they keep lowering their selling prices and no one takes orders, then everything will be exposed and investor confidence will be hit harder. It even caused investors to panic, and the stock price plummeted! Can Niu Bijian watch his company''s stock price plummet? Certainly not! If the company''s stock price plummets, the stocks bought at high prices will depreciate and the loss will be large! If you want to prevent yourself from losing money, you can only stabilize the stock price. The only way is to go to the black, eat all the stocks in the public, stabilize the confidence of investors and institutions, and then think of ways to slowly Cash out, get the money back, and buy bottom when the price is low! Dilemma! The risk is huge to move forward, and it is absolutely unlucky to move backward! After weighing the pros and cons, Niu Bijian decided to keep what he had in front of him, and solve the problems later! Xia Yu''s hand directly threatened Niu Bijian and could only move forward! So now Niu Bijian''s mood is as disgusting as eating fly shit. Taking risks to invest funds to increase holdings at a high price. There is only risk but no profit, and the funds are locked up. Do you think he is bad? "I didn''t expect to be calculated by him, I am sorry for the trust of the chairman!" Niu Bijian felt guilty in his heart. "Now that I don''t need to watch here for the time being, let''s report the situation to the chairman first, hey..." After thinking about it, Niu Bijian left here and went to the Keswick family mansion. ... "Chairman, I''m sorry, I was fooled by them..." In the Keswick family mansion, Old John was sitting on the sofa, Niu Bijian bowed slightly and said guiltily. Although Old John''s eyes were gloomy, he did not blame his capable subordinates, because it was not only Niu Bijian, but he also did not expect that the Galaxy Fund was purely for sniping and extortion. "You did the right thing, don''t blame yourself!" Old John said to Niu Bijian in an affirmative manner. If he were to be replaced by him, he would make the same choice as Niu Bijian after he was found to be overcast. Hearing Old John''s words, Niu Bijian''s complexion eased slightly, and he was secretly relieved. "Chairman, I am worried that the Chinese kid will still have a conspiracy!" "This kind of sniping method is very disgusting. Our company has so many. If he does this every time, we will take it passively. I''m afraid..." Speaking of this, Niu Bijian didn''t say anything further, but he knew that Old John would definitely understand what he meant to express. Old John''s face sank, and his calm heart suddenly became a little irritable. This is really a difficult problem. Passive response is not a problem after all! It seems... The fierce light flashes in Old John''s eyesRing Ling Ling..." At this moment, the phone on the desktop rang suddenly, and Old John recovered and picked up the phone. "Hey!" "..." "what?" Hearing the anxious report from his son Charles on the phone, Old John''s eyes condensed and he blurted out. The blood vessels in the palm of his old hand holding the phone were raised, obviously his hand was very hard at this time. Seeing old John''s rare failure, Niu Bi''s heart sank, and a bad premonition lingered in his heart. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 357: Gangster party? ?"boom!" Old John slapped his slap on the table with a crisp sound. Niu Bijian''s eyelids tremble at hearing, and he felt pain for Old John. "You are responsible for informing your brother that you two will contact other shareholders together and be sure to increase your shareholding!" After speaking, Old John hung up the phone decisively, his face gloomy, his whole figure resembling a volcano about to recover. Niu Bijian raised his heart. How many years hasn''t he seen Old John so gaffe? It seems that the last time I performed this way was more than ten years ago! "Chairman, what happened? What do I need to do?" Niu Bijian lowered his voice slightly, and asked Gongsheng. Old John was in a calm mood and explained to Niu Bijian: ¡°Jihe Machinery Group has received the acquisition offer from Galaxy Fund, and Galaxy Fund has released news that it owns 30% of the shares of Jardine Machinery Group!¡± After listening, Niu Bijian''s face changed suddenly. It turned out to be Jardine Machinery Group! The core company of this consortium involving energy, electrical, machinery and construction, but a major company that can be ranked in the top ten of the consortium, has been targeted by the Galaxy Fund again? And the equity has reached 30%? In an instant, Niu Bijian thought of a lot, and then a feeling of regret came to his heart. He originally planned to send someone to investigate the stock price and trading situation based on the self-inspection of the Jardine Machinery Group. Who knew that the four companies had problems when he wanted to send out. On top of these four companies. If you didn¡¯t get people back... 30% equity! This is a huge number, and it is very difficult to hide it. If he sends a professional to investigate it, he might be able to find out the problem, and he won''t be as passive as he is now. "Chairman, I''m sorry, those four companies are the smoke bombs they released to attract our attention, but I was still fooled." Niu Bijian lowered his head, acknowledging his mistake in a somber voice. Old John also thought of this, but he didn''t want to pursue him anymore, not to mention that he had just said that he was not to blame Niu Bijian. If he blamed Niu Bijian now, he would hit himself in the face instead. Hey! It''s not that the national army doesn''t work hard, but the Communist army is too cunning! Let''s forget it, now is not the time to hold accountability, let''s solve the current problems first! "This time, the Jardine Machine Group must never be lost again!" Old John said with a sullen expression. After losing the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal and the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, the two pillars of the Jardine Consortium in the air freight and insurance industries have been taken away, and they have suffered heavy losses and face great loss. The current market value of the Jardine Machine Group is more than the sum of the previous two companies. If it is taken away again, it will definitely hurt the Jardine Group. The most important thing is that the power of the Jardine Consortium will be lost, and it will easily lead to a situation where the wolves will eat the tigers. At that time, it will be too late to restore it! "Niu Bijian, you go..." ... Not to mention how the Keswick family acted, but the outside world, after the announcement of the Galaxy Fund, the entire Xiangjiang was shocked. The Galaxy Fund once again stabbed the tiger''s beard, or even more directly stabbed the tiger chrysanthemum! No one thought that the Galaxy Fund would dare to provoke the Jardine consortium again and again. What did Xia Yu think? Or how much hatred do you have with the Jardine Foundation? "Unbelievable! Unbelievable..." "Suddenly! Good strategy!" "It seems that the four companies of Yining Home Furnishing are just smoke bombs. The real target is the Jardine Machine Group. The appetite of the Galaxy Fund is great!" "According to the previous situation, it is not a problem for the Jardine Machinery Group''s share price to double. The people holding the stock have made a lot of money!" ... Shocks of exclamation and emotion sounded throughout Xiangjiang, shocked by the work of the Galaxy Fund. After the news came out, the fastest response was the stock market! The share price of Jardine Machine Group rose accordingly. Not only Galaxy Fund rushed to raise stocks, but other institutions and investors also rushed in! According to the experience of the previous two times, the share price of Jardine Machinery Group is going to rise, and the increase is absolutely high, far from comparable to those of Yining Home Furnishing. After all, at this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the four companies of Yining Home Furnishing are completely smoke bombs, and the Galaxy Fund did not try their best to **** them. After investors understood this, the four companies of Fidelity Industries were unlucky. The last glimmer of expectations in the hearts of the investors of these four companies were dispelled, so they all wanted to cash out and leave. Although Jardine kept sweeping the goods to stabilize the stock price, the selling of singles never bottomed out, one after another. When the earth came out, the staff responsible for the stock acquisition were crying. But it''s useless to cry. Niu Bijian is not there. They can only execute the previous order, buy all the stocks, and make every effort to stabilize the stock price! ... Within Jiuding Securities Company. "Haha, thank you Bao Sheng for your concern, I know it... Yeah, yes, if you need your help, I will definitely not be polite!" "Is it 7 o''clock tonight? Okay, I must be there! See you tonight!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu shook his head with emotion, and sighed: "It seems that Bao Yugang really considers me a close friend, so he called and cared about the situation as soon as possible!" Just after Bao Yu called, he first congratulated Xia Yu, and then did not ask about the acquisition of the Yihe Machinery Group. Instead, he first expressed concern about Xia Yu. This subtle difference made Xia Yu feel warm. Later, Bao Yugang mentioned that there was a temporary party tonight, and he wanted to invite him to come with him. Then Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and others would be there. Although Bao Yugang didn''t say anything, Xia Yu could still guess it. It just so happened that he really needed to get acquainted with other bigwigs, so he naturally agreed to be there. "Bao Yugang shouldn''t hold a party for no reason, presumably other people know that I have a good relationship with him, and ask him to come forward to organize and invite me, ha ha!" Xia Yu sat on the boss chair, with Erlang''s legs tilted, playing with a pen in his hand, with an inexplicable smile on his face. At a gathering of this level, the big ones will definitely be the big ones, so the gatherings are rarely casual, and they are usually invited a week in advance. But now that the notice is held that night, why, combined with the current situation in Xiangjiang, it goes without saying. "It seems that everyone''s heart is about to move, haha!" After staying in the office for a few minutes, Xia Yu picked up his teacup and drank it and then left the office and went to the closed building next door. "How much has the stock price risen?" Xia Yu came to Wang Gang''s group and asked. "Boss, the latest stock price has risen to 34.5 Hong Kong dollars, and the rise is still accelerating!" Wang Gang replied respectfully. When Xia Yu heard the words, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He remembers that at the beginning, the Jardine Machinery Group''s share price was only 27.5 Hong Kong dollars, but now it has gone to 34.5 Hong Kong dollars, which is an increase of 7 Hong Kong dollars, which is a big increase! The increase is still accelerating, that''s good! He wished the sooner the better! The higher the rise, the greater his income. After all, he is not trying to **** the Jardine Machine Group, but simply for money! Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 358: Turned out to be him ? "Continue to speculate and push the stock price up hard for me. This time, no matter how high it is, the Jardine Consortium will not go back!" "They dare not retreat, and they can''t retreat, lift it with confidence!" Xia Yu''s smile narrowed, his eyes became deeper, and he ordered in a deep voice. Wang Gang''s face was solemn, and he immediately replied, "Yes!" Counting people as yourself can count as having no omissions! Xia Yu understood in his heart that he had long been looking at the overall situation, not only analyzing his own situation, but also analyzing the situation of the Jardine Consortium. Now he has mental arithmetic and unintentional, completely occupying the initiative; after the Jardine consortium has lost the first hand one after another, it can only respond passively and go the way Xia Yu thought. You can do one thing or two more than once! The shopping mall is like a battlefield, where the lower will fight against the soldiers and win with strength; the middle will fight against others, and the evil will be succumbed to them; After winning three times with the ¡®pawn¡¯ in front, under the chain reaction, a trend has formed invisibly, binding the Jardine consortium, and can only do its best to Bao Yihe Machinery Group. Coincidentally, there will be another gathering tonight. If Xia Yu connects together, it is very likely that he will put pressure on the Jardine consortium again, forming a situation in which the middle party will succumb to the Keswick family and force the Keswick family to take care of it. Be more determined to keep the Jardine Machinery Group. At that time, Xia Yu is really going to work together, the Keswick family will face great pressure! In order to keep the Jardine Machinery Group, if commercial means are used, the Jardine Matheson Group can only use its ¡®power¡¯ to break the ten thousand law and use absolute financial resources to smash all the stocks into its own pockets. And this is exactly what Xia Yu hopes to see! Only when the share price of Jardine Machinery Group is higher, when he proposes to exchange shares in Jardine Insurance Consulting Group with the Keswick family, he will have a greater advantage and gain greater benefits! You know, Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, but when the stock price just wanted to soar, it was directly suspended, so the value of the 30% equity in the Keswick family''s hands is definitely not high! When the time comes, the inflated value of Jardine Machinery Group''s stock is exchanged for the real value of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group''s stock. The profit from the difference is absolutely amazing! To achieve this goal, Xia Yu has to do nothing more than acting, acting like the real thing, so that the Keswick family really thinks he wants to **** the Jardine Machine Group. Only in this way, the Keswick family will jump in anxiously, compete desperately for stocks, and the upper limit of the stock price will be higher! "Now everything is under calculation!" A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes and said inwardly. Then, Xia Yu moved to the other four teams that had already been completed. Looking around, the staff of the four teams were more relaxed, and a few others were talking and laughing, just seeing the boss Xia Yu. After that, he immediately became serious. Xia Yu saw it and didn''t say anything about it. After all, they were really under a lot of pressure during this period of time. This was something he could see, so let them relax appropriately, as long as they don''t lose the chain at the critical moment. After that, Xia Yu called the team leader together. Looking at the different expressions of several people, Xia Yu fixed his gaze on Ma Kai on the far left and said: "The stocks have been cleared. How much profit do you make? Ma Kai, you first Talk about it." Ma Kai felt a little lost and replied: "Report to the boss that our group''s profit is 940,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars higher than the previous floating profit." Xia Yu nodded, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and commented with a little appreciation: "Good job!" Profits can still rise in a short period of time. Although there is not much, it means that Ma Kai has worked hard. This mentality and unwillingness to admit defeat is worthy of recognition. "Thank the boss for the compliment!" Hearing that, Ma Kai grinned reluctantly, and then fell silent. Although he worked hard, he still did not surpass Li De, and the first name would still fall on his head. Xia Yu looked at the second Song Yang and said, "Where is your team?" "Report to the boss that our group made a profit of 1.14 million, which is similar to the floating profit previously calculated." Song Yang said calmly, with a more positive attitude this time. "Good job!" ... "Boss, our group has a profit of 990,000, which is actually 10,000 Hong Kong dollars higher than the previous floating profit." When it was Li De''s turn, Li De replied softly. "Boss, our group has a profit of 2.2 million, which is 80,000 higher than the previous floating profit!" Finally, it was Liu Xiao, who answered calmly. Although he said lightly, the three of Li De smiled bitterly and were compared again. Upon hearing this, Xia Yu also showed a more obvious smile of appreciation. With his insight and ability, after a little thought, he knew why Liu Xiao''s actual profit was higher than before. "It seems that Liu Xiao is quite courageous. He dared to raise the stock price strongly before liquidation, not bad!" Xia Yu secretly admired. "Okay, I have a good idea about this assessment and will reward it after all the plans are over." Xia Yu said softly, Ma Kai, Li De and others sighed secretly when these words came out. However, Xia Yu''s turn of conversation gave them hope again. "In this assessment, Liu Xiao has the advantage, and it doesn''t mean that you don''t have any performance opportunities. Before the end of all the plans, it is the assessment period. If any of you has outstanding performance, you can also add points!" Hearing this, Li De, Ma Kai and others'' eyes lit up, and immediately showed a surprise smile, while Liu Xiao raised his brows and immediately recovered calm. No matter how many assessments there are, he still depends on his strength to speak. A capable person can perform well in any situation. He has this confidence! "Now the other four teams are still planning. You don''t need to take care of the Jardine Machinery Group''s affairs, but the Wharf is still lurking. Your mission is..." Xia Yu said in detail. The four of Li De nodded again and again. In the end, everyone responded in unison, and then excitedly implemented Xia Yu''s plan. Seeing their fighting spirit, Xia Yu smiled at the corners of his mouth and said to himself: "As long as you move your mouth, there will be enough talents to execute. It feels great without all these hard work..." In the evening, after the stock market closed at 4:30 in the afternoon, Xia Yu took Li Qian back to Li Qian''s residence to prepare for the party tonight. This time, Xia Yu didn¡¯t plan to take Li Qian. After all, tonight was a small private party. The people who came tonight were all big guys, and they were definitely much older than him. After thinking about it, he found that bringing Li Qian was indeed inappropriate. It is better to go alone. "Be safe and come back early!" Before going out, Li Qian gently re-adjusted Xia Yu''s tie, her eyes watered, with a soft smile, and said with concern. "Well, don''t worry, I will come back as soon as possible. If I don''t come back at ten o''clock, you should go to bed first, don''t wait for me!" Xia Yu kissed Li Qian on the forehead and said with a smile. "Ok!" Li Qian answered her little head obediently. "I am leaving!" Xia Yu waved his hand and got into the car. Li Qian stared blankly at the car leaving her sight, stopped for a long time, smiled, and returned to the house and closed the door. Soon, Xia Yu''s car came to Bao Yugang''s house, to check the time, it was only about six o''clock, but he came one hour earlier than agreed. "Xia Sheng, whenever I think of you coming so early, hurry up and sit inside!" When the servant reported that Xia Yu''s car had arrived, Bao Yugang, who was chatting with people in the living room, quickly spoke to the person sitting opposite, and then quickly got up and went outside the house. He happened to see Xia Yu getting out of the car and immediately smiled heartily. Tao. "Bao Sheng, don''t you think I came too early? Am I the first?" Xia Yu joked. "Haha, I''m too late to be happy, how can I dislike it!" "Besides you are not the first, there is one even earlier." Bao Yugang said with a big smile in his unique voice. Xia Yu raised his brows, and a hint of curiosity rose in his heart. Didn''t he expect there to be someone earlier than him? "Oh? Then I want to see who it is!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and then followed Bao Yugang into it. As soon as he arrived in the living room, he immediately saw an old man who had stood up and looked at him with a smile. "It turned out to be him!" Xia Yu was slightly startled in his heart, showing a warm smile, then quickened his pace, stretched out his hand in a gesture of requesting a handshake, and walked towards the old man.

"Huo Sheng, good evening!" "I also said who came so early, it turned out to be you, that''s not surprising!" Xia Yu shook hands with Huo Yingdong and said enthusiastically. By the way, he gave Huo Yingdong a little jokingly. "Xia Sheng, hello!" "I also just arrived on the front foot, just a few minutes." Huo Yingdong smiled and said with a smile. "Don''t stand, sit down and talk!" Seeing Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong still standing, Bao Yugang smiled and greeted him. Then the three of them took their seats. Bao Yugang poured tea for Xia Yu, and Xia Yu quickly thanked him. Afterwards, the time passed by the three happily chatting. Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are counted by age, they can be regarded as Xia Yu''s grandparents. However, shopping malls value ability and achievement the most, and age is the next. If you deliberately grasp the age of others and judge a person by age, it will make people laugh. Although Xia Yu was young, both his skills and achievements deserve the attention of Huo Yingdong. After all, Xia Yu can squeeze into the threshold of Xiangjiang''s top bosses, plus his performance during this period, All showing his energy, naturally made Huo Yingdong pay more attention. After all, Huo Yingdong is the one who has the closest connection with the mainland among the big brothers in Hong Kong. The mainland has also learned about Xia Yu through him, so of course he knows the importance the mainland attaches to Xia Yu, and this will not let him look down on Xia Yu. . So both of them thought of going together, wanting to get in touch with each other, and when they chatted this day, they were naturally full of laughter. With laughter, Xia Yu walked around Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong several times without moving his eyes, and then went into hiding, thinking to himself. Looking at Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang''s relaxed and casual look when chatting, and considering that he was here first, it is obvious that he and Bao Yugang have a very close relationship. It¡¯s just that Xia Yu remembered a rumor in his previous life. When the son of the Dong family and Bao Yugang¡¯s son-in-law were running for the first chief executive of Xiangjiang, because Huo Yingdong was closer to the Dong family, he supported the son of the Dong family and finally Xiangjiang was the first. The Chief Executive is named Dong. Just looking at the current situation, logically speaking, there are obviously some discrepancies. This has to mention the shipping market of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang¡¯s shipping market is basically monopolized by four companies, arranged in order of strength, namely Bao¡¯s Global Shipping, Dong¡¯s Dong Group, Zhao¡¯s Huaguang Shipping, and Cao¡¯s Wanbang Shipping. Among them, the first array and the second array can be subdivided. Zhao¡¯s Huaguang Shipping and Cao¡¯s Wanbang Shipping belong to the second group. While Dong Haoyun and Bao Yugang were among the seven largest ship kings in the world at the same time. Although the total tonnage of ships is not as good as that of Bao Yugang, the variety of ships, the large tonnage of single ships, and the newest machinery and equipment all exceed Global Shipping Group. Therefore, the competition between the two parties is very fierce, and the peers are enemies. Even if Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun are both magnificent, the relationship will not be too rigid, but it is estimated that it will not be much better. "Forget it, I don''t want this. Maybe there are some inside stories I don''t know about. I''ll look at it later, but I''ll talk about myself first." Xia Yu shook his head slightly, retracted his thoughts, and said in secret. Regardless of who Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun, and Huo Yingdong are closer to whom, Xia Yu will take what he sees for the time being, and continue to observe in the future, so that he can figure out the yardstick for communicating with people. The communication with Huo Yingdong is destined to deepen. For the time being, the faction and the factors of the mainland are ignored. It is said that the Wharf Company, which is destined to not run out of Xia Yu''s palm, also needs the support of Huo Yingdong. After all, Huo Yingdong is known as the "king of the sea sand" and monopolizes the sea sand industry in Hong Kong. Any real estate construction company needs Huo Yingdong to provide sand. If there is no sand, even if there is more land in the Wharf, it will be built. Can''t afford tall buildings. In addition, Huo Yingdong owns a Lixin Real Estate Co., Ltd. responsible for real estate development. He is also the current chairman of the Hong Kong Real Estate Construction Association. It can be said that he has a huge influence on the real estate construction industry. The benefits to Xia Yu are great. "Oh? Someone is here again, I''m going to see who is here." Just as the three of them were chatting fiercely, a roar of engines came from outside the house, and Bao Yu just got up and walked outside. Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong smiled at each other and stopped talking, waiting for the people outside to arrive. Soon, Xia Yu saw Bao Yugang walking in with three people talking and laughing. Seeing these three people, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong both had their pupils tightened and stood up immediately, which obviously surprised them. These three are not others, they are the famous "Three Musketeers" of Xiangjiang more than ten years ago, and now they are the three top gangsters of Xiangjiang. Guo Desheng of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Li Zhaoji of Henderson Land Development, and Feng Jingxi of Sun Hung Kai Securities. Guo Desheng and Xia Yu are not very familiar with each other. There have been several meetings, and Li Zhaoji''s words have a good relationship with Xia Yu. Only Feng Jingxi, Xia Yu can be said to have had a relationship with him for a long time, but he is not very familiar with him. Even now, seeing Xia Yu still feel a little strange. Because now Xiangjiang stockholders respect Xia Yu as the "stock god" because he can easily control the stock market. However, there are still many decisive forces in the Hong Kong stock market that can influence the changes in Hong Kong stock prices. One of them is Feng Jingxi''s Sun Hung Kai Securities Co., Ltd., with an annual profit of over 100 million Hong Kong dollars! Feng Jingxi is also the "big brother" in the Hong Kong stock exchange market. He was previously hailed as "the king of securities trading", "the godfather of the stock market" and so on. I just said that my colleagues are enemies, but I didn''t expect an "enemy" to come. Next, there was a enthusiastic exchange of greetings, and Xia Yu was very natural. The "Three Musketeers" came together, seeming to start a head, and then one after another big men came, and Bao Yugang did not sit down and drink a cup of tea. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong, Wang Dehui of Chinachem Group, New World Development and Zheng Yutong, who is known as the king of jewelry and nicknamed "Shark Gallant". With the arrival of everyone, the huge living room finally seemed full of popularity. "Old Bao, are there anyone else?" After waiting for a few minutes, Huo Yingdong asked casually when no one was coming. "The time has passed. It looks like it should be gone. There are only nine of us tonight, and there are not too few people." Bao Yugang looked at his watch and said with a smile. "Huo Sheng is right now is full of extravagance, if the little devil throws a cannonball, the whole Xiangjiang will be shaken!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and by the way made a joke to praise everyone. "Haha!" "Haha, Xia Sheng said this well!" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Li Jiacheng gave Xia Yu an admiring thumb and exclaimed. Several of them narrowed their eyes slightly, thinking that Xia Yu was one of the shareholders of Yangtze River Holdings, they didn''t know what they were thinking. "No longer, let''s go to the table and talk while eating." After laughing, Bao Yugang greeted everyone to serve, and then ordered the nanny and chef who had been waiting for a long time to serve. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 360: Lure ? "It''s rare for everyone to get together and do it for our meeting!" As the host, Bao Yugang saw that the time was almost there, and took the lead in holding up the glass, and everyone responded with it. After a sip of wine, the atmosphere suddenly improved. "You don''t have to be polite at my house. Tonight''s food should not disappoint everyone." Bao Yugang said with a smile, greeted everyone to eat. "The taste is really good, fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, everyone taste it!" Huo Yingdong picked up a dish recommended by Bao Yugang with chopsticks, and said in admiration after tasting it, Bao Yugang smiled brightly. "Then you have to taste it!" ... After drinking three rounds of food and five flavors, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, everyone was less scrupulous, and the interest in chatting gradually increased. All of you here are the top bosses in the Xiangjiang business community. As the saying goes, the content of the chat is naturally those things. Huo Yingdong, who was sitting next to Bao Yugang, raised his wine glass and touched Bao Yugang. He said with some emotion, "Old Bao, the outside world always talks about the ship king abandoning the ship and landing ashore, how do you feel?" Hearing this topic, everyone was stunned, and subconsciously stopped the action in their hands and looked at Bao Yugang. Although everyone has known about this for quite a few days, they also talked to Bao Yugang on the phone, but there must be many things that have not been made clear. Now that the two protagonists, Bao Yugang and Xia Yu, are there, it is the best. Know the timing. "Haha, what else can I do? Of course it feels good. I have to thank Xia Sheng for giving up his love, otherwise I am still dangling in the sea!" Bao Yugang smiled heartily, first to thank Xia Yu by raising his glass, and then smiling. Then, Bao Yugang saw that everyone was interested, and first nodded towards Xia Yu, and then told some inside stories, including the advice Xia Yu gave him and some information he learned after taking over the company. Following Bao Yugang''s narration, everyone looked at Xia Yu from time to time, and their eyes gradually changed. Obviously, after hearing Bao Yugang''s narration, their feelings about Xia Yu had changed. Xia Yu listened quietly with a smile, not at all nervous or complacent. For a long time, as Bao Yugang finished speaking, Huo Yingdong said with emotion: "Jihe Air Cargo Station is indeed a good company. You can make a lot of money after eating exclusive meals. Thank you Xia Sheng." "Yeah, old Bao, you met such a good opportunity, if I was there, I would definitely grab it with you!" Zheng Yu said jokingly. "Yes, yes!" ... Others also followed suit. Of course, although they said so, they were mostly joking. After all, they have their own main business at their level and would not easily risk cross-industry development. Again, capital is also a problem. And they are not like Bao Yugang, who had to think about changing industries in a difficult period in the shipping market. "Haha, it''s useless for you to envy, it''s been eaten into my stomach, don''t think I will vomit it again." Bao Yugang grinned. "Xia Sheng, the time was in a hurry last time, I didn''t have time to thank you, just take this opportunity, I did it, you are free!" As Bao Yugang said, he picked up the wine glass and drank it. Before Xia Yu stopped it, he could not say anything. The full glass of wine went into Bao Yugang''s stomach. Bao Yugang''s sincere gratitude to Xia Yu was felt, and he didn''t say much, he used his actions to prove it, and he also drank the glass without frowning. The others were taken aback, and then they applauded Bao Yugang and Xia Yu. ... Pushing cups and changing cups between each other, the friendship deepened rapidly on the wine table, unknowingly, the topic was again about Xia Yu, to be precise about Xia Yu and the Yihe consortium. When it came to this, everyone started fighting. With a twelve minutes'' spirit, Xia Yu found several people staring at him from the corner of Xia Yu''s eyes. Obviously, this is the most concerned topic of the people gathered tonight and the main reason for their arrival. "Xia Sheng, although I entered the industry earlier than you, but for you, I admire you. The British are lying on the golden mountains. We Chinese are not strong enough. We can only watch with eagerness, and you have the courage to eat. Crab, admire!" Feng Jingxi said with emotion from the heart. "Indeed, Xia Sheng, compared with you, I feel ashamed!" Guo Desheng, who is over 60 years old, has half a hundred hair, and his old face shows a complex look. There are some self-deprecating things, some admiration, some feelings, and so on. "Everyone praised it, and I was terrified. In fact, I don''t know the heights of the sky and earth, so I can''t deserve your praise." Xia Yu first made a self-conceited sentence, and then consciously aroused the topic. "In fact, after so many years, everyone knows that the strength of our Chinese consortium is no longer inferior to that of the British consortium, and it has even passed it. This time it was just my first move. In fact, there are still opportunities everywhere." As he said, Xia Yu smiled and looked around on everyone''s faces, and suddenly found that Li Jiacheng had a smile unconsciously on his face. Xia Yu smiled secretly. Li Jiacheng thought that no one had noticed his actions. I wondered what Li Jiacheng would look like when he learned that he was also eyeing Hutchison Whampoa. "Oh? I wonder if Xia Sheng has any ideas?" Feng Jingxi looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes and asked. It can be said that among so many people, he is not the most familiar with Xia Yu, but he has the deepest knowledge of Xia Yu''s energy, because he and Xia Yu are in the same industry and know better than others. Xia Yu''s actions during this period of time stirred up the Xiangjiang stock market, and the profit earned made Feng Jingxi very eye-catching, and his heart was already about to move. "Under the Jardine Consortium, there are still many companies like Yining Home Furnishing. In the past so many years, the Jardine Consortium has aggressively annexed companies. Although its strength has expanded rapidly, its drawbacks have also emerged. Now it is just exploding in advance." Xia Yu said with a meaningful smile, unknowingly narrowing the scope of the British-funded consortium to the Jardine consortium, and the purpose is self-evident. Bao Yugang, who listened closely to the side, changed his smile brightly, his eyes full of admiration when he looked at Xia Yu, knowing that Xia Yu understood his heart and understood his meaning. This gathering was actually facilitated by Bao Yugang alone. His purpose was only to help Xia Yu in this critical period. After all, the strength of the Jardine Consortium is indeed very strong. He was worried that the Keswick family would go crazy and Xia Yu could not handle it alone, so he assisted Xia Yula. Obviously Xia Yu understood what he meant, and was now planning to use the strongest chain of interests to draw as many people as possible to him. "The Jardine Consortium is the strongest among the British consortiums. It is also the consortium with the most involvement in the industry. It is characterized by multiple and scattered. You can also see that I let people attack the four companies under the Jardine Consortium at the same time, and it attracted With their energy, what if ten sniping at the same time? Twenty?" Xia Yu said to and finally asked. Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Then there will be a good show. The Jardine Foundation will definitely be in a mess and face the end of being disintegrated." As soon as he said this, everyone smiled and nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with Bao Yugang''s words. One or two of them can''t compete with the Jardine Consortium, but if everyone in this room swarms, the Jardine Consortium will definitely not be able to hold it. No one had ever thought of doing this before, and there was no organization, and they couldn''t get enough strength, but this time is obviously an opportunity. How can they not be moved? "It seems to be stable. It depends on the distribution of benefits in the future. As long as there are enough benefits, there is no need to worry about them not being tempted." Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, and he thought to himself. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 361: Forge an alliance "Xia Sheng, this idea is feasible. It''s just that there are many companies under the Jardine Consortium. It takes a long time to collect and screen intelligence. Is there enough time?" He is also good at financial markets and owns 12% of Feng Jingxi''s Sun Hung Kai Securities Company, and even Li Zhaoji, who was later known as the "Asian stock god", pondered for a moment and tentatively asked. Everyone''s eyes flashed, looking at Xia Yu. "This group of old foxes, want to eat good, but also want to take less risk, let me take the lead." "But it doesn''t matter. Anyway, it''s on the cusp of the storm, and there is no way to hide it, so why not cover it up for them, as long as they are willing to leave, I will earn it!" A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. The questions Li Zhaoji asked seemed random, but they actually had two meanings. One was whether he could survive until they were ready to enter the arena together, in case Xia Yu was let down by Yihe, the power of the Yihe Foundation It¡¯s definitely soaring, it¡¯s not realistic for them to take action anymore, and they have to continue to die. The second meaning is that he would put the Jardine Machine Group on the ground too early, just like the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, he completed a fatal blow in three or two. In this case, Xia Yu would be missing. They will be more conspicuous if the fire is set up earlier, and the other Chinese forces in Hong Kong will not be able to restrain them. If they are not fully prepared, they will get even less profit. So this time node and rhythm are very important. Although I thought a lot, it was actually a momentary matter. Without changing her face, Xia Yu said with a smile: "You can rest assured that my company has done a lot of preparations in this area before, and I just brought it here. Now I am in the car. I will show it to you later." Xia Yu had made preparations a long time ago. Now that the situation is going in the direction he wants to see, he can also use those materials. "Oh? Xia Sheng is thoughtful and considerate!" An unexpected look flashed across Li Zhaoji''s face, he said admiringly. "Since Xia Sheng is prepared, we will discuss it later when we finish the meal. Now we will sacrifice to the five internal organs temple. The food will taste bad when it is cold." Bao Yugang said aloud at the right time, welcoming everyone to continue eating with chopsticks. Since the information is in the car and eating now, it¡¯s not good for Xia Yu to leave the table to get it, and reading the information at the dinner table also affects the atmosphere of the meal. It¡¯s not too late for everyone, so it¡¯s better to have dinner first. Say it again. Because they were all curious about the materials Xia Yu had prepared, everyone subconsciously speeded up the meal, and the table full of delicacies was soon wiped out. Everyone left the table and sat around the coffee table to have a cup of tea, while Xia Yu went out to get information in the car. After a while, I saw Xia Yu re-entering with a pile of documents. "Everyone, please see!" Xia Yu sent the materials to Li Zhaoji and others one by one, and Li Zhaoji and others didn''t say much, and immediately read them. At this time, a group of Xiangjiang elders looked through the information carefully, like reading a test paper. This kind of scene is rare. Xia Yu''s mouth is curved, holding up a teacup and tasting it, looking at the people sitting from time to time. "admire!" For a long time, the calm was broken by Feng Jingxi. He shook the information in his hand, looking at Xia Yu with admiration. After reading this information, leaving aside the others, at least he fully recognized Xia Yu''s ability to collect business information. Five or six thin sheets of paper can actually not carry too much content. For the behemoth of the Jardine Consortium, five or six sheets of paper are not enough to describe. But after reading this information, Feng Jingxi can say fairly that the essence and valuable information of the Jardine Foundation is basically here. Although he didn''t want to admit it, Feng Jingxi compared it in his heart and found that his company''s ability in collecting and summarizing business information was indeed not as good as Xia Yu''s company, which made him feel slightly bitter. But soon he wanted to open it, because it was not just him, it can be said that everyone sitting there is not as powerful as the newly emerging Xia Yu in terms of information gathering and analysis capabilities of the Xiangjiang business community. After all, collecting and analyzing business information is Xia Yu''s good at housekeeping. The economic research room that produced the famous "Economic Weekly" magazine and the Securities Research Institute under Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. all strongly support this. Although he finished reading, Feng Jingxi didn''t say much, but quietly waited for others to finish reading, so as not to disrupt their thinking. Soon, everyone in the room read them one by one. Except for Xia Yu, Wang Dehui of Chinachem Group is the youngest, and his strength is a little worse than that of other bigwigs. Although the disadvantage is obvious, he is more aggressive. He couldn''t wait to get into the topic and said, "Xia Sheng, your information is very valuable, so I just took it out. I''m convinced!" "It is true. If this information is given to securities and fund companies, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble." Feng Jingxi analyzed it from his perspective and exclaimed. Xia Yu smiled and acquiesced. This time he was not humble. This praised him for being able to bear it. After all, this information was indeed full of commercial value. If this information is given to an ordinary person, it is like giving a treasure chest but not giving the key, it may not have any effect, but the people sitting here are all powerful men with amazing energy and abilities, and the resources that can be mobilized are also There are thousands of "keys" that you have, and you can naturally dig out the value of them. This information lists all the companies under the Jardine Consortium. It can be said that the Jardine Consortium has been wiped out from head to toe, leaving at most a pair of underpants. Of course, Xia Yu still has selfish intentions and has done some processing on the information of the Wharf Company who has thoughts about it. As for the others, Xia Yu didn''t need it for the time being, so he simply released them all. It¡¯s not that Xia Yu is too generous, but business information is not better than others. It changes all the time. The Jardine Consortium has been developing. It may still have 30% of the company¡¯s shares today, and maybe 15% will be left tomorrow. Business Information The value of this will change accordingly, it may become worthless, and it may even be fooled if the information is not updated in time. Business confidence is overdue and invalidated. Xia Yu''s waste is also a waste. It is better to share it with everyone. Not only can it be a personal affection, but it can also arouse their thoughts. This time, if they can get all of them on the boat, this information will have a tenfold effect! "There is so much gold under the Jardine Consortium. Have you found what you like?" Bao Yugang smiled heartily, his eyes wandering around everyone''s faces, and said. Everyone smiled knowingly, obviously each had their own thoughts. "Old Bao, depending on how you look, which one seems to be fancy? Speak out and listen, and see if we two want to go together?" Zheng Yu, who was sitting on Bao Yugang''s left hand, joked, but a heart was slightly raised. Bao Yu just glanced at Zheng Yu and said with a smile: "How could you like that gadget? I just said, since I plan to carry out air transport, I can''t leave any weaknesses. Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd. treats me. You don¡¯t need to sell jewellery and houses for reinforcement." Hearing Bao Yugang''s words, the few people sitting here secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Yutong didn''t care about Bao Yugang''s joke, but said to himself, "Of course I don''t need such advanced things as a mason. " "Haha!" Several others smiled kindly and started talking about the company they liked. The strongest Bao Yugang has set a goal, and the competition for them is much smaller, but the strengths here are very strong, especially most of them are real estate developers, and the selected goals are likely to overlap. For them, all they need is real estate-related companies, such as infrastructure, property, building materials, real estate companies, and companies with large amounts of land. Although the Jardine Consortium has a large number of companies below it, there are also advantages and disadvantages. Since it intends to jointly bite the Jardine Consortium, it will naturally pick the most valuable ones. "I think¡­¡­" "Lao Guo, I also think that''s good, so let''s be half of us..." ... Soon, everyone said their goals one after another, and even if there were overlaps, they communicated amicably, either to join together to eat one, or to change to another goal. In their conversation, the powerful Jardine Consortium seemed to be a piece of meat on a sticky board. Although it sounds a little funny, the people who are sitting actually acquiesce in their hearts. Although they were not opponents of the Jardine Financial Group, they swarmed and swarmed the tigers, and the tigers couldn''t stand it, and they also understood similar principles that the law does not blame the public. Even if the Yihe Consortium survived this wave and wanted to retaliate later, let alone whether it had strength at the time, even if the strength still exists, it has to weigh whether it will provoke everyone to unite again. This time, it seemed that a short-term alliance was formed by coincidence. It was definitely a great opportunity. They were all human beings. Seeing the opportunity, they would naturally seize it without hesitation. This gathering lasted until more than 12 o''clock in the evening. Everyone had chosen their goals, even the amount of effort and the distribution of benefits were divided, and the time for action was also agreed. A rough but powerful alliance was formed! Among them, Xia Yu and Feng Jingxi, two financial experts, were enthusiastically received. Feng Jingxi did not hesitate to accept everyone''s request for help and promised to assist them in the acquisition. Xia Yu also promised to let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. assist them and help them complete the plan. As long as they are willing to work on the Jardine Consortium, Xia Yu is naturally happy to help. "Then say so, it''s getting late, I''ll go back first." "Then I''m leaving too. I''ll do this tonight. If I have something to do, I will be notified. "Goodbye!" Soon, the satisfied people left one after another, leaving Xia Yu and Bao Yugang at the door of the Bao family mansion. Xia Yu said with gratitude, "Bao Sheng, thank you!" Bao Yugang laughed and said nonchalantly: "Thank me for what I did. I didn''t help you much. On the contrary, you helped me so much, and Xiangjiang Ground Service Co., Ltd. is still in trouble. You help." "It''s on me!" Xia Yu smiled, no more polite, promised. "It''s getting late, Baosheng, I''ll go back first, see you next time!" "be careful!" Sitting in the car, Xia Yu waved goodbye to Bao Yugang who was standing at the door. The black car quickly took the night, left the Bao family mansion, and drove towards Li Qian''s house. Seeing the light that was gradually transported away, Bao Yugang stood with his hand holding his hand and looked up at the starry sky, his mood gradually floated out of the sky, his eyes became as deep as the starry sky. For a long time, he let out a breath, and muttered to himself expectantly: "Sure enough, he is a talented person, young, but so old-fashioned, Yihe...hehe..." Chapter 362: response "Damn upstart!" "Damn little dwarf!" "Damn Yankee!" "All the bad water!" In the luxurious living room of the Keswick family, Old John, Niu Bijian, and the two brothers Henry and Charles sat around the table. The youngest Charles Keswick could not help but yelled, obviously very angry. Seeing the youngest son gaffe, Old John rarely did not educate him, because at this time he also looked ugly and very sad. Just because they basically failed to return, at most, Old John used contacts and acquired 1.1% of the stock from the only minority shareholder, but the price was a premium of 100%. There was no way. The situation was urgent. Old John still gritted his teeth. Agreed, and the proportion of equity held by him was raised to 38.2%. But despite the acquisition of 1.1% of the stock, the high price also hurt him, and it is foreseeable that the subsequent impact will be even greater. After all, the premium was 100% at the beginning. Later, if you want to buy shares in the hands of other people, the price will only be high or not, especially for large shareholders with more shares in their hands. No, everyone else has returned without success! They all talked about their actions and situation just now, but the result was not optimistic. Since the Galaxy Fund made a high-profile call to hold 30% of the Jardine Machine Group, although it is not known whether it is true or not, it is estimated that it is not much different. In this way, the Galaxy Fund has become the second largest shareholder of Jardine Holdings alone, with an equity difference of 78% from their Keswick family. With so many shares, it is absolutely impossible to buy through scattered stocks. Some of the top ten shareholders are definitely accomplices. So Old John first checked and called one by one. Finally, statistics found that among the nine major shareholders other than himself, three shareholders were accomplices in selling shares to Xia Yu, and the remaining six shareholders did not sell. stock. It''s just that these six shareholders, each made Old John tricky, and made everyone touch their noses. The second largest shareholder, Cummins, a power equipment manufacturing multinational company, holds 6.37%. The third largest shareholder, Singapore Temasek Holdings, a Singapore state-owned enterprise under the guise of a private enterprise, holds 5.24% of the shares. The fourth largest shareholder, Nomura Securities, which is now the top ten in the island country¡¯s securities industry, and the number one in the island country, holds 4.99% of the shares. The seventh largest shareholder, Daiwa Securities, holds 2.76% of the shares. The ninth largest shareholder, Heung Kong Bank of China Investment, holds 2.54% of the shares. The tenth largest shareholder, Goldman Sachs Group, holds 2.49%. None of these six major shareholders are simple goods. Cummins, Nomura Securities, and Daiwa Securities all have giant consortia behind them. Goldman Sachs Group itself is a multinational giant, one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street. Not to mention Temasek Holdings and HeungKong Bank of China. The former are Singapore state-owned enterprises under the cloak of private companies and are under the supervision of Singapore¡¯s Ministry of Finance. The latter is the mainland¡¯s presence in Hong Kong. These six major shareholders, except for Cummins of the United States, because of business needs, they need to use the influence and strength of the Jardine Machinery Group in Southeast Asia and Australia to deepen the relationship. The other five shareholders hold the Jardine Machines Group for almost all purposes of investment. These five shareholders are essentially the same, and they are all investment banking companies. It stands to reason that for a listed company, the stronger the shareholders, the greater the benefits to the company, because the market will have more confidence in the company. The five major shareholders of Jardine Machinery Group are still giants in the investment industry, and they can provide strong support for the Jardine Machinery Group''s share price. If it''s a peaceful time, it''s definitely good. Old John Bar doesn''t have many such powerful partners. But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Don''t forget that capitalists are also the most ruthless, and their interests are paramount. What''s more, these bright investment banks based on the principle that profits are above all else? No one has the nose of these investments, and is not as greedy as these investment banks. When the Galaxy Fund announced that it held 30% of its shares and issued a takeover offer to the Jardine Machine Group, the five companies immediately ordered the prohibition of the sale of the shares of Jardine Machine Group, and joined the rush to raise funds, trying to get their hands. The shares of the company have increased a bit, and no matter how bad, the stock price should be as high as possible. Now as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Galaxy Fund poses a great threat to the Jardine Consortium and has a series of previous victories. Therefore, this time the battle will definitely be fierce, and the stock price will go up. . These companies have raised their expectations of the Jardine Machine Group''s share price time and time again, and want to take this opportunity to **** up their blood. When the Keswick family wanted to buy the stock, they were scared back by the big mouth of the lion. Such a result can only be blamed on Old John''s lack of preparation. For Xia Yu''s side, when Wang Qi bought stocks, he also picked up some soft persimmons and bought the stocks of the three lower-ranked shareholders. Of these five shareholders, none of them bought or even asked. Ask for fear of being discovered. After all, each of these five companies is stronger than Jiuding Securities, and Jiuding Securities is very difficult to win. If the contact fails, the acquisition intention will be exposed, and then trouble will follow. "Father, it is difficult for us to acquire the stocks held by these shareholders, so Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities will not be easy. We are still safe for the time being." Henry Keswick, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly said. "Yes, the chairman, Goldman Sachs and Nomura Securities and other lions speak loudly. We can''t stand it, so the Chinese boy shouldn''t be able to stand it either." Niu Bijian agreed. Old John nodded silently and agreed with the two of them. It was just that he had no feelings in his heart. He had always slaughtered others, but now he has become a fool in the eyes of others. The taste is really unspeakable. Blame this Chinese kid who took the initiative to provoke several times! Caused them great trouble! Old John hated him. "Continue to talk to them, ask prices all the time, and pay them back." "They are all investment companies, and holding shares is for financial investment. As long as the price arrives, there is nothing they won''t sell. Now they offer such a high price to sell it at a higher price." "But now, it seems that the two short-timers, Nomura Securities and Yamato Securities, are the most greedy. Together they hold 7.75% of the shares. Their backing is very hard. We can only use normal commercial methods, which are the most difficult, and put it at the end." "The 2.54% equity of Xiangjiang Bank of China is also very difficult. I think that the Chinese kid will get it more easily, and continue to send people to talk. If we can''t get it, we will also raise the price to me and consume his funds. " "The group of Jews at Goldman Sachs is no worse than the little dwarfs, and it is too difficult to get it off. Continue talking." ¡°For the remaining Temasek and Cummins, the two shareholders together hold 11.61% of the shares. As long as they get their hands, they will immediately be close to the 50% line. The crisis will be lifted directly and the two shareholders will be attacked.¡± Old John analyzed, Niu Bijian and Henry nodded together. "Niu Bijian, you are in charge of Cummins and strive to buy the stock." "Good chairman!" Niu Bijian took his orders solemnly. Old John nodded slightly, his sharp gaze moved to the left, paused for a second on Charles, and then placed on Henry in Charles''s lost gazeHenry, you contact Temasek Singapore in the name of your family The company, and in my name, sent an application to the Li Guangyao government. " "Ok!" Henry Keswick said solemnly. Although Singapore now has the atmosphere of the Four Asian Tigers, after all, it has not been independent for many years, and it is still independent with the support of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Singapore government still relies heavily on the United Kingdom. The Jardine Consortium is the largest British consortium in the Far East, and Old John, as the head of the Jardine Consortium, is not much inferior to the current Singapore Prime Minister Li Guangyao in terms of status. He is absolutely qualified to send a call to Li Guangyao, and Li Guangyao will definitely agree. It''s just that it will look shameful and owe Li Guangyao''s favor. Just in order to get the 5.24% stake in Singapore Temasek Investment Company as soon as possible, Old John can''t take care of so much. It is more important to keep the Jardine Machine Group and stabilize the situation! Chapter 363: Ready to fight back The Jardine consortium tried a way to deal with it, and Xia Yu naturally wouldn''t watch. Xia Yu thought with his toes and knew that the Keswick family would definitely do their best to buy the stock. If they are allowed to increase as they wish to approach the absolute holding line or achieve absolute holding, it will be to his disadvantage. How will he take over the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group? How can we successfully acquire the Wharf Company? It is even possible that because of the failure, the whole body will be involved, so that the Jardine consortium is relieved, and the Jardine consortium will counterattack strongly, which is bad. So the only way is to make the Keswick family unable to achieve absolute control of the Jardine Machine Group, and in the end they can only be forced to buy shares from him. "Wang Qi, how is the situation?" In the office of Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi. "Boss, I have sent high-level executives to buy stocks in those six companies, but as you expected, Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities, Daiwa Securities, and Temasek Investment Co. have all opened their mouths. As for Cummins in the United States, their attitude is very firm. , Saying that the holding is related to the company¡¯s strategy and refused to sell." "In the end, it was Heungkong Bank of China. Their attitude was relatively soft. Instead, they proposed to deepen cooperation with us in other businesses. If we want to acquire stocks, the problem should not be big." Wang Qi reported the situation truthfully. "Is that so..." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said softly, his sword eyebrows clustered slightly, thinking about it. "In the case of Xiangjiang Bank of China, you can talk about it and buy it if the price is right. As for other business cooperation, we certainly welcome it. As long as it is pure business cooperation, you can decide directly. If some sensitive content is involved, you can ask me report." Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said. In many cases, business will be mixed with politics, especially for the mainland. The status of Xiangjiang Bank of China is very special, and Xia Yu''s identity and status are also very special. Now that he has the opportunity to strengthen contact with Xia Yu, Bank of China will certainly not be embarrassed by Xia Yu. However, this is just what he meant. Even if Bank of China does not have shares in the Jardine Machine Group, Xia Yu welcomes their cooperation intention with both hands. "understand!" Wang Qi responded respectfully, then looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for the next order. "As for these five companies, you will send people to make trouble and delay the time. The longer the delay, the better for us." "Of course, it''s best if it can be acquired at a low price. If you don''t acquire it, you can raise the price hard, hang these five companies, and don''t let them sell the shares to the Keswick family, understand?" Xia Yu continued, his face was very solemn, after all, how this point was implemented is related to the series of actions that followed. As long as they bite tightly here, it will arouse the greed of these companies, make them form wrong judgments, raise their psychological expectations time and time again, and force the Jardine consortium to make acquisitions more difficult. Xia Yu''s main purpose is to delay time, consume the patience of the Keswick family, and when Li Zhaoji and others are ready, launch a fatal blow. Then the Keswick family will absolutely jump and it is time to mention replacement conditions. In order to save the Jardine Machine Group as soon as possible, the Keswick family has absolutely no intention of going to the Nomura Securities and other companies and can only pinch their noses to take the equity in the Galaxy Fund. "Boss rest assured, I will definitely try my best to make trouble and hold them back!" Wang Qi''s face was solemn and firmly assured. "Go, that''s it for the time being, you quickly arrange it!" Xia Yu said, waved away Wang Qi. "A good show, it has just begun!" Quiet for a long time, Xia Yu''s chuckle broke the tranquility of the office. ... Except for the Keswick family, everyone else wants the Jardine Machine Group''s stock price to soar. With the concerted efforts of a group of institutions, the stock price naturally rises. 35.8 yuan per share! 36.2 yuan per share! ... 38.4 yuan per share! The stock price has been fast for a long time, but the trading volume is pitiful, it can even be said that there is almost no. The more so, the greater the confidence of investors and institutions, and the stronger and faster stock price growth. By the time the market was closed at 4:30 in the afternoon, the stock price was fixed at 47.9 Hong Kong dollars, which was 20.4 Hong Kong dollars higher than the 27.5 Hong Kong dollars per share when the sniper war hadn''t started. It was only a day, which shows that the stock price has gone crazy! Fortunately, the trading rules of Hong Kong stocks are similar to those of Europe and the United States, and there is no limit on the price limit. Otherwise, if it is like the previous mainland A shares, the rise and fall are both 10%, and the stock price will rise from 27.5 yuan to 47.9 yuan. It takes at least six days to trade. day. If you add the suspension of trading for two days every Saturday and Sunday, the time will be longer. For an acquisition battle, the longer the time, the greater the variables, which is very unfavorable for the acquirer. The setting sun on the sea level slowly disappeared, the dark night gradually opened, and the brilliant lights gradually lit up. Looking across from the top of Victoria Peak, it is colorful. Old John came to the balcony, with his old hands on the railings of the balcony, staring blankly at the city under the mountain, the faint wind blowing on his face, shaking his silver hair constantly. Henry Keswick came to the balcony unknowingly. He stopped for a long time and saw that his old father was motionless like a stone pier. He understood the pressure in his father''s heart. He was a little worried and reminded softly, "Father, Stop catching a cold and go in." Old John retracted his mind, looked back at Henry Keswick, then turned his head to look at the city below the mountain in the distance, and slowly asked, "Do you feel it?" The father¡¯s inexplicable question left Henry Keswick at a loss. He contemplated for a few seconds, but still didn¡¯t know what his father was referring to, so he came to his father¡¯s side and asked, "Father, please forgive me. Stupid, don''t know what you mean?" Old John''s posture remained unchanged, seeming to answer, and then he seemed to say to himself: "The wind is a bit strong tonight, and I feel a little depressed when it blows." Henry Keswick was silent for a long time. He comforted him and said, "Father, rest assured, victory must belong to us." "It''s hard to say..." Old John shook his head slightly solemnly and said. Although the evening breeze was cool, it made him calmer and thought more. After decades of hard work in Shang Hai, he has developed a very accurate intuition. This time, he felt very bad, and his instinct told him that Xia Yu, who is like a fox, definitely has a back hand waiting for him. And just now, Old John combed through from start to finish, and found that because he had lost the first move, he could only be passively responded by the other party''s mental arithmetic , and had been led by the other party''s nose. If this continues, it will only get deeper and deeper, and step by step into the trap set by the other party, and ultimately will meet him with failure. "We can''t let things go down like that. It''s too difficult to acquire enough equity." "Moreover, the continuous annexation of enterprises over the years has caused the consortium to become bloated and loose, management has become chaotic, the capital chain has become tight, and the risk is too great." "Even if the Jardine Machine Group is saved this time, the Galaxy Fund will be able to cash out and greatly increase its strength. It will be more difficult to deal with. If the next time the company is attacked, the trouble will be even greater, and it will fall into a vicious circle." "The situation is too bad, and it is difficult to reverse it in a short time. We must find other ways to break this situation and get back the initiative!" Thinking of this, Old John''s cloudy eyes became sharp. "Since you expect to defeat me in business, then I will let you know that business strength only accounts for part of the strength of the consortium!" ~: Explain the situation to everyone, so that everyone is not worried First of all apologize to everyone, the update disappointed everyone. Then explain the reasons and circumstances. There is no **** in this book, and I was forced to break the news in the past two days. Many friends should know what I do. I help the poor at the grassroots level. Work pressure is particularly high. Overtime is the norm. Last night, it was more than four o''clock in the morning before finishing work and going to bed. There was really no way to code words. I slept for more than three hours at night and got up to work again. After lunch, I was busy at half past one and only slept for half an hour. I went back around ten o¡¯clock this evening. After taking a shower, I wrote more than 700 words. At 11:30, I received the task again. I couldn¡¯t go back to the office to work overtime. I did it at more than two o¡¯clock in two days. , The head is about to explode. Then the county inspection came tomorrow. I had to get up at 7 o¡¯clock and ride a motorbike for 10 kilometers to meet the inspection at the poor household¡¯s home. I could only sleep for more than four hours. I wanted to send out the chapter that I didn¡¯t finish, but it¡¯s true. I can''t hold on, sorry. Besides, after these two days of inspection, the update will resume. My 100,000 characters this month has not reached the standard, and I have to write more than 100,000 characters, otherwise I don¡¯t have the income from writing novels, and the pressure in life is so real. There is no way to persist, the body is very important, but eating is more important, so you don¡¯t have to worry about eunuchs, this is never possible. I can keep writing until your child goes to college, believe it? £þ©`£þ Chapter 364: Home The galaxy reversed, the night was gone, and the day was in a blink of an eye. Although there is still an hour or so before the stock market opens, the exchange is already overcrowded. Many professionals and professional stockholders are talking with each other on the exchange. Many people hold a financial newspaper in their hands, and they often **** their ears to want Hear good news "first-hand". Whether it is the interested parties or the pure people who eat melons, they are full of attention to the intense acquisition battle of the Jardine Machinery Group. I don¡¯t know if the situation has changed significantly after a night, or if the stock price continues to surge! Everything depends on the changes in the share price of Jardine Machinery Group after the market opens! With the crisp and sweet bells knocking on the wall, everyone lifted their spirits and looked at the quotation board. Out! Jardine Machinery Group''s opening price is HK$55.5 per share! The opening jumped 15.87%! "Yeah, it''s posted!" "Rising up!" "The stock price has more than doubled the initial price, and the stock price has doubled in just two days. It''s so exciting!" "Continue to rise! Finally there is a chance to change cars, as long as the stock is sold at that time, hehe..." "..." Many people with vested interests cheered, their faces flushed, and joy overflowed to the surface. Of course, the stock price was also known to Xia Yu the first time. When he heard the report from his subordinates, Xia Yu just smiled and said that he knew, and he was very calm. This was already in his expectation. The current stock price has not reached its peak at all. In addition, he uses newspapers to continuously analyze the value of the Jardine Machine Group, highlighting the advantages, and wants to give the public an impression that the current stock price of Jardine Machine Group does not match itself. True value. For a longer period of time, Xia Yu can''t guarantee what will happen, but within these two days, the share price of Jardine Machinery Group will definitely continue to rise! It''s just that Xia Yu was not happy for long. In the afternoon, when he was working at Jiuding Securities Company, a subordinate ran in with a flustered expression. "Boss, there is a firefighter coming outside, and the manager is responding, but the firefighting attitude is very tough." Xia Yu condensed his eyes, stood up decisively, and walked outside, thinking about what might be the case as he walked. Only halfway to the stairs, Xia Yu vaguely heard the arguing, Xia Yu speeded up slightly. After going downstairs, he saw a circle of employees at the door, and Wang Qi was arguing with the personnel in fire uniforms at the door, and his words were a bit fierce. "boss!" An employee heard the footsteps and turned around to see Xia Yu, and immediately yelled respectfully. The voice was a bit loud and abrupt, which seemed to be because of the main reason. Other employees also saw Xia Yu and immediately drew aside. Xia Yu nodded slightly and walked outside. The firefighters who were confronting Wang Qi and others also saw Xia Yu, and their attitude immediately eased. "Boss, you are here!" Wang Qi shouted respectfully. "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, his gaze swept across the faces of a group of firefighters at the door, and he paused for a few seconds on the face of the man who looked like the leader, before finally turning his gaze on Wang Qi and asking in a deep voice. "what happened?" "Boss, this group of people said that our company has hidden safety hazards, and we need to check our company''s fire safety facilities, but our company is absolutely impossible for safety hazards!" Wang Qihui reports. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is a financial company, not a manufacturing company. There are only employees and some office supplies in it. Where can there be potential safety hazards? And like escape routes and fire extinguishers, there are fire hydrants. Now the attitude of the firefighters is to make trouble. How could Wang Qi be willing to let them in? Various plans are already being carried out fiercely. In case the operation team employees are disturbed and have problems, or data leaks, it is likely to cause major losses. How is Wang Qi willing? After listening, Xia Yu''s eyes became deep, and instead of talking to Wang Qi, he looked at the head of the firefighters and said with a cold face, "Show me your credentials." Xia Yu''s sharp eyes felt the invisible pressure on the leader, and he was uncomfortable. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to be here. In the face of Wang Qi, the manager, he could still be hardened a little bit, but after seeing the tycoon Xia Yu who suddenly appeared, he unconsciously became a lot of restraint. However, the person behind him immediately appeared in his mind, and he was more confident. "This is my identification!" Wang Qi grabbed it with one hand, and then passed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took the certificate and saw that he was a real fireman, belonging to the Hong Kong Fire Department. "Chen Jinping, Hong Kong Fire Department, Chief of the Kowloon Division." Seeing the information on the certificate, Xia Yu calmly changed the certificate to him, and asked before he spoke: "Who asked you to come?" Chen Jinping''s face changed slightly, and then he put on an upright look and said, "Mr. Xia, what you said is wrong. No one asked me to come. Today is based on work requirements and randomly selected locations for fire safety inspection. After you have drawn your company, please cooperate with our work!" Hearing Chen Jinping''s official voice, Xia Yu couldn''t help but sneer. He didn''t believe that he had such good luck, it must be a ghost behind him. Hypocrisy, and showing a wholehearted attitude to the public, really disgusted Xia Yu. Xia Yu stared at Chen Jinping with scorching eyes for a long time, and saw his eyes flicker. This is still a sign of guilty conscience. "Captain Chen, it''s working time now. Our company''s premises are small. In order to avoid affecting our company''s work, you send two people in to check!" Xia Yu said directly, but didn''t let them all in. Chen Jinping wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Yu''s deep gaze, his lips squirmed and he didn''t say anything. Instead, he ordered two people to make them take a few steps forward. "Gao Peng, take them there!" Xia Yu called an executive and ordered. Seeing Xia Yu''s cooperation, Chen Jinping felt relieved. There was a tycoon who was like this, secretly mocking himself for thinking too much. "Mr. Xia Could you ask someone to open the door of the building next door, to undergo a security check together." Chen Jinping said immediately, wanting Xia Yu to open the closed building where the Galaxy Fund is located, and let him check it again. This time, Xia Yu frowned and thought of something in his mind. He turned his head and ordered Gao Peng who was walking in with two firefighters: "Wait a minute!" Gao Peng stopped immediately, looked at Xia Yu, and waited for Xia Yu''s order. "Mr. Xia, are you trying to prevent us from performing our official duties?" Chen Jinping asked in a slightly questioning tone. Obviously, he thought he had a backer, and the backer was much stronger than Xia Yu, so now it is a bit drifting. Xia Yu didn''t bother to pay attention to him, and said to Wang Qi: "Now make... this call and ask what''s going on!" Hearing the number reported by Xia Yu, Chen Jinping was not afraid. Instead, a sneer evoked from the corner of his mouth, pretending to be watching a good show. Chapter 365: Dont jump too much The headquarters of the Hong Kong Fire Department, in the office of the Director of the Fire Department. An Englishman with half a hundred hair and wrinkles on his face was sitting at a desk in his sixties, staring at the phone at the desk in a daze, completely ignoring other things. He has been in this state for a long time. Except for going out to the toilet, even if his subordinates come to report on work or submit an application for signature approval, he puts it aside after putting it away, and has no intention of handling it. It seems that there is something more important on the phone. "Ring Ling Ling!" At this moment, the phone rang, and Cyril''s spirit was shaken. After looking at the phone number, it was the number of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. which he remembered deeply. He is a loyal customer of Jiuding Securities Company. He invested 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in the Huizhong No. 1 Fund at the beginning. After tasting the sweetness, Cyril had more confidence in the strengths of Jiuding Securities and Xia Yu. Therefore, at the second fundraising reception, he did not hesitate to take out the one million Hong Kong dollars he had accumulated over the years. In the Evergreen No. 1 Fund. Naturally, I knew Jiuding Securities'' number by heart. "coming!" Cyril whispered in secret, cleared his throat immediately, smiled, and connected the phone. The second after the call was connected, Xia Yu''s voice came from the microphone. "Hey, is it Mr. Cyril? This is Xia Yu!" "Mr. Xia, hello, I didn''t expect to receive your call. I''m so happy..." Cyril said in a warm and pleasant tone. This attitude made Xia Yu on the other end of the phone stunned. He couldn''t help but glanced at Chen Jinping, the boss of the Kowloon Fire Brigade, who was there at this time, and then continued to report the situation. "..." Hearing what Xia Yu said on the phone, Cyril was very surprised and quickly denied: "Mr. Xia, how could it be possible? I saw it when I went to your company to pay for the fundraising last time. Your company¡¯s firefighting facilities are in place. Besides, what is our relationship, I am absolutely impossible for someone to check your company." "Who is leading the team... Chen Jinping? Oh, he is the captain of the Kowloon Fire Brigade. Could you please let him answer the phone..." There are two flowers and one branch each. At Jiuding Securities, Xia Yu, who was holding the phone, heard Cyril''s words. He rolled his eyes and thought a lot. He smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Chen Jinping where the old **** was with a playful expression, raised the microphone, hooked his finger at Chen Jinping, and said calmly: "Your boss asked you to answer the call." Seeing Xia Yu''s expression and hearing Xia Yu''s words, Chen Jinping suddenly noticed something wrong, raised his heart slightly, walked over and took the call. "Sir, I am Chen Jinping..." "What? Didn''t you let me lead the team to check? Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to lead the team...Yes!" Hearing Cyril''s order to withdraw him and saying that he was not scheduled to attend work, Chen Jinping glanced at Xia Yu subconsciously and couldn''t help swallowing. He suddenly realized that he was being pitted. He wanted to argue but was interrupted by Cyril. The previous scene appeared in his mind. His boss Cyril mentioned in the office that the Jardine Consortium wanted to rectify Jiuding Securities. Then he So he volunteered to implement it, but Cyril only agreed, but didn''t explain anything else. Thinking about it now, the attitude of Cyril, the boss at the time, seemed a bit wrong. It was just that he had been leaning against Charles for a while, and there had been no chance of performance. Now the opportunity appears, in order to fight for the future, let Charles see his role. In order to give him a certain amount of support, the first thought in his mind was that an opportunity came, and he did not carefully consider the attitude of his boss. Seeing Chen Jinping''s face getting more and more ugly when he answered the call, although Xia Yu didn''t hear what Cyril said, he could still guess what he said. "Interesting, as expected, Cyril is a fox, and the typical man in front of him is a second fool!" A smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth, his arms folded his chest, his heart secretly said. After a while, I saw Chen Jinping take the phone away with a dark face, and wanted to call Xia Yu, but didn''t know how to speak. Xia Yu didn''t tell him much, and took the call to answer it. "...Okay, I will definitely go to your place for a cup of tea next time!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu returned his eyes to the dark-faced Chen Jinping. This time, seeing Xia Yu''s playful smile, Chen Jinping didn''t have the contemptuous attitude just now. Instead, he looked a little flustered, with an awkward and ugly smile on his face. When he noticed the exploring and questioning gazes of the surrounding players, Chen Jinping felt even more pressure. "Captain Chen, right? Do you understand what your boss said? Do you need to talk more?" Xia Yu said lightly, looking at Chen Jinping''s gaze became indifferent, but this made Chen Jinping more pressured and worried. This time I really offended Xia Yu, the new tycoon. I thought he was supported by his boss Cyril, and he was able to complete the task and show his ability and role in front of Charles, seeking more support. Unexpectedly, his boss Cyril would sell him. He didn''t dare to resist his orders. Otherwise, although Cyril had no right to dismiss his position directly, he could teach him how to be a man and ruin his future. In addition, the situation just now is so obvious, and now I want to let other ordinary firefighters continue to investigate, it is estimated that they will flash away one by one, so he has no way to play the set of ¡®will not be affected by military orders abroad¡¯. But now that things have not been done, there is no way to make a good impression to claim credit, but a bad impression will be made. That¡¯s fine, and offend Xia Yu again. This time he went in and out, he suffered a big loss, and he was regretting his death. "Sorry for disturbing you!" Chen Jinping squeezed out a reluctant apology and said nonchalantly. "We withdraw!" Then, he left without looking back, other firefighters immediately followed him and left, walking quite fast, as if he wanted to escape this place of right and wrong earlier. Watching a group of firefighters leave desperately, Wang Qi and others looked dumbfounded, not knowing what happened. Of course, a possibility looming in Wang Qi''s mind was that there was chaos in the fire department. "Boss, you are amazing!" Gao Peng admired in admiration. "Ha ha!" Xia Yu smiled and did not speak any more. Instead, he looked at the firefighters who were far away and shook his head slightly. "A second fool with no brains, he is still too young to be taught by Cyril." "Compared with Cyril, it''s too tender!" Xia Yu thought to himself that his impression of Chen Jinping plummeted. "but!" "Although Cyril has calculated me a little bit, he has already expressed it. Obviously, between the Jardine Consortium and me, it is on my side. Interests are moving! Interests are the strongest bond!" ... Let''s talk about the office of the director of the Xiangjiang Fire Headquarters. Cyril leaned on the chair with a smile on his face after hanging up the phone, obviously in a very happy mood. "Chen Jinping, don''t think that if you hug Charles Keswick''s thigh, you don''t have to put me in your eyes. I''m still your boss now!" Cyril sneered to himself. Cyril is about to retire. He has extinguished the idea of ??climbing up in the political field. Instead, he is focused on making money, just wanting to stay safe and stable until retirement. Seeing that he didn''t stay long, the following subordinates could move their minds and activities. Among them, Chen Jinping suspected that he hugged the thigh of the Charles Keswick family of the Keswick family and jumped very happily. And it seems that because he hugged his thigh, he has no respect for his boss. Although Cyril didn''t say anything, he felt uncomfortable. It is said that the officialdom is most afraid of people taking the tea cold. He hasn''t retired yet, and he is treated as nothing below. Cyril naturally feels very uncomfortable. Just because I couldn''t find an opportunity, I can only continue to observe. This time, I just took this opportunity to cheat him and let Chen Jinping realize who is the boss. Don''t let him look away just because you hug your thigh! For the giant of the Jardine Consortium, if he could hold his thighs when he was young, Cyril would definitely not hesitate. But the Jardine consortium looks down on him! The Hong Kong Fire Department is actually a small department. After a few years of institutional reform, it will directly become a department under the Hong Kong Police Department and become a Hong Kong Fire Brigade. It is conceivable that the status and strength will be just like that. Such a character would naturally not be put in the eyes of the Jardine Foundation, so there was no communication in the past. Cyril only wanted to retire and make money, and he did not go to the camp to seek help from the Jardine Foundation. As the saying goes, if you have no desire, you are strong. Even if the Jardine Foundation is very powerful, it will only contact him when it can use him now, and it will not give him real benefits. If you offend, you will be offended. And even though it was a connection, the tone was actually a bit high-pitched, and he also suggested that Chen Jinping could exercise more. Of course, Cyril was not happy with his hands stretched so long. Of course, in order not to offend the Jardine Consortium, Cyril sent his subordinates out again, and then called them back. At least the cut scene was gone, and the Jardine Consortium had nothing to say. It can only be said that Chen Jinping was a second fool from beginning to end! ... As the fire retreated, Xia Yu just stretched his waist and received a call from Yan Wenhan, saying that Jiuding Newspaper Company and its printing houses also came to the firefighter to investigate, but he was very polite, and he almost evacuated after a few steps. Just walk through the scene. Xia Yu directly said that he knew, so he could feel relieved, pay more attention, and hung up the phone. "It seems that this is what the Jardine Consortium did. UU Reading wants to contain my energy and cause me trouble!" "It''s a pity that I don''t know people, and I found a Cyril who doesn''t cooperate, hehe!" Thinking of Cyril who was pretending to be stupid, Xia Yu smiled instead, not knowing whether he was laughing at the second fool Chen Jinping or at the Yihe Consortium. After smiling, Xia Yu''s smile narrowed and his eyes became as deep as ink. "However, I know the panthers, the Jardine consortium can''t do it right now. Now it''s going to play shady. Apart from firefighting, there must be other conspiracies and tricks. You must be careful!" "After all, not everyone is like Cyril, who climbed up unintentionally, but got into the eye of the money!" "Not so lucky next time, I happened to run into a client of my fund!" "The Jardine Consortium..." Xia Yu read the name of the Jardine Consortium, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about any loopholes he might be attacked by the Jardine Consortium. Chapter 366: Small tricks and subpoenas "Gao Dong, the paper in the factory ran out today, why hasn''t your staff come here yet?" "What? Out of stock..." "Dududu..." "Son of a bitch!" Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Yan Wenhan put down the phone with a gloomy face and couldn''t help cursing. Just now he called and asked Gao Wencheng, the chairman of Xiangjiang Liyuan Paper Co., Ltd. The Xiangjiang market is not large, and fresh water is relatively precious, so there are not many paper companies that pollute more. The two paper companies monopolize nearly 95% of the Xiangjiang Omen market. Liyuan Paper is one of them. It is still the leader with a 55% market share. Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Publishing Company and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. under Xia Yu are all big paper users, and Liyuan Paper is the supplier. In normal times, Liyuan Paper does not know how active it is. In order to maintain the big customer of Jiuding Group, it has agreed to the requirements of Jiuding Group enterprises and the service is also very considerate. Yan Wenhan does not need to worry about it. But I didn''t expect that the chain suddenly dropped today! He received a report from the following person that the printing factory''s paper was almost used up, and he could last for two days at most, and he must replenish the paper inventory as soon as possible. But Liyuan Paper did not deliver it! The people below called to urge the goods. I don¡¯t know how many calls. Liyuan Paper always promised to do a good job, but they didn¡¯t send paper. Seeing that there was less and less paper, the people below couldn¡¯t sit still. Reported layer by layer, and finally arrived at Yan Wenhan. No way, Yan Wenhan personally called to ask, but Gao Wencheng said that he was out of stock, and his tone was obviously perfunctory. This very different attitude gave Yan Wenhan a bad premonition. But let''s implement the paper supplement first. If Liyuan Paper does not supply, then find another Jinfa Paper! What only disappointed Yan Wenhan was that when he contacted the boss of Jinfa Paper, he also got the news that he was out of stock and could not provide paper in the near future! The two leading companies occupy more than 95% of the papermaking market, and now they can¡¯t supply it, so it¡¯s troublesome! "Someone is definitely making a ghost! Otherwise, it''s impossible to stop business!" Yan Wenhan muttered to himself with a sullen face, and remembered the firefighting that had appeared before, realizing that there must be more complicated things behind, and it must be related to the boss. This matter must be reported to the boss! After thinking about it, Yan Wenhan picked up the phone and dialed the number of Jiuding Securities. After finishing the conversation, Yan Wenhan was a little relieved to learn that the boss Xia Yu would come. Just sitting down, I heard some rapid knocks on the door. "Come in!" Yan Wenhan raised his brows and said solemnly. "Manager, I have something to report to you!" As soon as he walked in, an employee reported anxiously. Seeing this employee, Yan Wenhan had a bad feeling in his heart, because this employee is a middle-level company, he was sent to follow up the newly acquired Sing Tao News Group''s rectification and lifting of the ban. Looking at his current performance, is it here? Something happened too? Didn¡¯t you report good news last time, saying that the ban will be lifted soon? "what happened?" Yan Wenhan asked with concern. "Manager, everything was going well, but the Press and Publication Administration suddenly issued a new notice to let us continue to make corrections, and did not say the deadline for corrections." "The other two advertisers who agreed to be private suddenly turned their faces again. They didn''t talk to us at all and took the Sing Tao News Group directly to court. Now the Department of Justice has issued a subpoena!" "This is the situation for the time being! Manager, what should we do?" After finishing speaking, the subordinate looked at Yan Wenhan with frowning eyes with expectation. "What are you holding in your hand?" Yan Wenhan asked when he saw what was in his subordinate''s hands. "Oh, I forgot, this is a court summons." Suddenly, the subordinates approached immediately and handed the court summons to Yan Wenhan. Seeing the words on the subpoena, Yan Wenhan showed a headache. At this moment, he felt very troublesome, and because he didn''t know where the source was, he had no clue at all and didn''t know how to solve it. "There is no way to solve these things, you can only hand it over to the boss! Hey..." Yan Wenhan sighed secretly. First is the anticlimactic fire fighting, and now the Press and Publication Administration, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Industry and Commerce, which are definitely going to come out, already have four departments. I don''t know if there are others behind. This is because someone made a trick! "Wait here for a while, the boss will come over soon, then you will report to the boss, there is a stool over there, you should sit down first!" Yan Wenhan ordered. ... Before long, Xia Yu came to the company. "boss!" Yan Wenhan in the office immediately stood up and said respectfully. Xia Yu''s eyes swept across the faces of the two of them, their expressions unchanged, and he nodded slightly and said, "Sit down!" After speaking, he also found a stool to sit down, without wasting time, and asked directly: "What the **** is going on?" "Boss, this is the situation, Liyuan Paper..." "Besides, when you came here, Wu Liang came to report some things again. I was a little bit undecided and needed you to deal with it." First, I elaborated on the problem of the lack of paper in the printing plant, and then told his subordinate Wu Liang: "Wu Liang, you know more about this matter, and then report to the boss." Seeing the boss put his gaze on him, Wu Liang felt a heavy pressure. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and recounted the situation again. "Report to the boss..." After the narration, Wu Liang shut up and looked at the boss Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu frowned slightly, his fists clenched unconsciously, and an anger kept rising in his heart. Now you don¡¯t need to think about it to know that it was done by the Jardine Consortium Compared with these, the firefighting investigation is only for pediatrics! Sing Tao News Group made the mistake first, and now the Jardine Consortium has strongly intervened, and the two advertisers who were forced to bow their heads took a tough attitude and took the Sing Tao News Group directly to court. In the entire Hong Kong government, the Attorney General, who only subordinates to the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary, responded so quickly, and the court''s summons were issued so quickly. When did the Hong Kong stock market have such a rapid efficiency? It was clear that the Jardine consortium wanted to catch Xia Yu by surprise, and directly nailed Sing Tao News Corporation, so that he could not interfere halfway. Xia Yu spent a great price and seized the opportunity to get Sing Tao News Group in his hands. How could he be willing to be blocked? Moreover, if Sing Tao News Corporation were to shut down directly, the nature would be serious, and a series of chain reactions would be formed. Hu Xian would definitely not escape prison. According to the agreement, he would have to pay a huge amount of money to compensate Hu Xian. In addition to losing money, more importantly, if Sing Tao News Corporation is really shut down and Hu Xian is arrested, where will his face be put? ! Chapter 367: Dont give face to the SFC Now that things have happened, he can only deal with them one by one! Put away the anger for the time being, keep this account, and then return it all! And it will be doubled! "Wenhan, if you can''t buy paper in Hong Kong Aomen, you can go to Southeast Asia or Taiwan to buy it. I will contact Bao Yugang and ask him to help. You don''t need to consider the cost. Then the paper will be shipped directly by air! Fill up the warehouse as soon as possible !" "But this kind of thing can''t happen again. After buying paper, you immediately set up our own paper mill. If you don¡¯t have enough funds, tell me, and you¡¯re responsible for improving the entire paper media industry chain and taking care of our weaknesses and shortcomings. All the boards are eliminated!" Xia Yu''s eyes were like torches, and he commanded in a deep voice. "Yes! Guarantee to complete the task!" Yan Wenhan responded in a solemn expression. "Since the Sing Tao News Corporation has had an emergency, we will postpone the integration issue. I will crack the situation from the top level, and I can only crack the music from the top. What you have to do now is to delay as much as possible and maintain the situation. , Don¡¯t let the situation get worse." Then, Xia Yu talked about Sing Tao News Group''s approach, and Yan Wenhan immediately agreed. ... "Ms. Hu, don''t worry, I will solve this problem, you wait for my good news!" There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that it is a special company like Sing Tao News Corporation. The news naturally spread out immediately. The whole media industry was enthusiastic and everyone turned their attention to Jiuding News Corporation. . Hu Xian, who was the most involved, panicked immediately. He even called Xia Yu to inquire about the situation. Xia Yu naturally gave his utmost comfort and assurance to comfort Hu Xian as much as possible. However, after hanging up the phone, Xia Yu''s face became ugly, and the Jardine Consortium would really cause him trouble! "Now it''s only Sing Tao News Corp. It only involves the core of Jiuding Newspaper Company. However, since the Jardine Consortium has started, it will definitely not let go of my dual-core newspaper company and securities company, **** it!" Things were as expected by Xia Yu, and before he had time to arrange them, bad news came one after another. Ma Tengdong reported to Xia Yu that because of a report that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. published the "Milk Manke" magazine cartoon for spreading violence and pornography, the General Administration of Press and Publication intervened in the investigation. Fortunately, the four major comics serialized in "Military Manke", "Pokemon" and "Douluo Dalu" do not have any of these factors. Even if it involves violence, "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" are just a comparison. Shallow level. So there will be trouble, and tossing is inevitable, but it will not reach the level of "Dragon Tiger Gate", so Xia Yu is just annoyed and upset, but not panicked. In addition, the more troublesome one is the other. That is, when someone reported that Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Newspaper Company and Xia Yu were suspected of manipulating stock prices, the Securities Regulatory Commission intervened in the investigation! The Securities Regulatory Commission did not hide the slightest concealment, and some people contributed to it. Xia Yu, Jiuding Securities Company and Jiuding Newspaper Company were suspected of manipulating stock prices, and the news of the investigation by the Securities Regulatory Commission spread throughout Xiangjiang. This impact can be big! Not to mention anything else, the most direct reaction was the share price of Jardine Machinery Group. The rise stopped directly, and even fell slightly. Fortunately, the Galaxy Fund spared no effort to raise the price, allowing the stock price to continue to rise. It''s just that the rise is not as fast as before. Whether it is retail investors or institutions, they have all turned their attention to the Securities Regulatory Commission. At this time, in the large conference room of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Xia Yu sat with Erlang''s legs upright. Instead of being humble in the past, he was full of arrogance. Wang Qi also sat next to Xia Yu, with the same fearless appearance. As for Li Wuming, he stood behind Xia Yu with his arms folded. Opposite Xia Yu, there is a group of middle-aged and elderly people in suits and shoes. There are both Chinese and British, but they are still the majority. These people are not others, they are the top executives of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. At this time, a group of senior officials of the Securities Regulatory Commission saw the attitude of Xia Yu and others, and their expressions were a little ugly. Only the old man sitting in the middle was expressionless. He was no one else, but the current chairman of the Xiangjiang Securities Regulatory Commission, Ban Jie. Ming Veblen. "Mr. Xia, when we asked you to come over while you were helping, we were forced to receive a report from someone saying that you manipulate the stock price. I hope you can cooperate with our investigation." Benjamin Veblen looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said. "Ha ha!" After looking deeply at Benjamin Veblen for a few seconds, Xia Yu suddenly shook his head and chuckled, raising his fingers on the stool handle, and bluntly said: "Mr. Veblen, you and I are both sensible people. These things You have nothing to do, are you sure you want to ride this muddy water?" Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Benjamin Veblen frowned and did not speak. Instead, a slightly younger senior sitting beside him expressed dissatisfaction and said: "Mr. Xia, have you manipulated the stock price? Everyone knows that it¡¯s fine if you did it before, but you keep manipulating the stock price again and again, so you don¡¯t take us seriously!" "Hehe, don''t mess around with dirty water, our company is a serious company, why manipulate stock prices?" Wang Qi who was sitting aside immediately sarcastically said. It wasn''t Benjamin Veblen who spoke. If the boss Xia Yu personally answered and it seemed a bit of a drop, Wang Qi would of course take the initiative to defend him. "Mr. Wang, you..." Wang Qi''s irony made the speaker very unhappy, and he immediately wanted to fight back, but Benjamin Veblen raised his hand to stop him. "Mr. Xia, the development of the Hong Kong Securities industry needs a stable and standardized environment. You manipulated the stock price several times, which has a very bad impact on the development of the securities industry. We can leave it alone, but I hope you stop your actions now for the sake of creating HeungKong Securities Industry makes a contribution to a good environment!" "Otherwise, I can only report to the Governor and let the Governor personally handle it!" Benjamin Veblen looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and said solemnly. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, stretched out a hand, and squeezed the void. "what?" Benjamin Veblen questioned Mr. Veblen, can you please come up with the specific regulations, which one I violated! " "I have to say the last sentence, this is Xiangjiang, not London, England!" Xia Yu shook his feet, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and said lightly. Hearing this, Benjamin Veblen frowned and looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn''t care, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes. "It''s getting late, I still have business, I don''t have so much time to waste on something meaningless!" With that, Xia Yu stood up, and Wang Qi also stood up. "Mr. Veblen, let me remind you again. There are some things that have nothing to do with you. There is no need to cause trouble to your upper body. Don''t jump out in a hurry. Don''t jump to conclusions so early before the results come out!" "let''s go!" Chapter 368: response Abandoning this meaningful sentence, Xia Yu took Wang Qi out without turning his head. Someone wanted to stop him, but was pushed away by Li Wuming. Watching Xia Yu leave arrogantly, the faces of all the people present turned red, and one of them said to Benjamin Veblen: "Chairman, this Xia Yu is too arrogant! He must be punished!" "What punishment?" Benjamin Veblen sighed and asked suddenly, tiredly. "Uh... We report to Your Excellency the Governor, and ask Your Excellency to sanction him, and apply to Your Excellency to issue relevant regulations as soon as possible. The man choked, thought for a few seconds, and reluctantly said. Benjamin Veblen thought of Xia Yu''s meaningful reminder in his mind, and his heart was very weak. In fact, although they are the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, it is very difficult for the Jardine consortium to find Xia Yu through him. On the contrary, it is more useful than the chairman of the major exchanges to find Xia Yu. But he couldn''t refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and ask Xia Yu to trouble him. Now he really got into a show, how could this not make Benjamin Veblen feel aggrieved. Speaking of this, I have to introduce the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, the full name of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, is a statutory organization independent of the government''s civil service structure and is responsible for overseeing the operation of Heung Kong''s securities and futures markets. The purpose of the establishment of the Securities Regulatory Commission is to promote the development of the Heung Kong Securities and Futures Market in a fair, efficient and orderly direction through effective supervision and guidance. But the vision is good, but it is difficult to realize it. In fact, Xiangjiang''s securities industry is still very young. Before the 1970s, Hong Kong established the Hong Kong Club to conduct small-scale stock listing and trading activities. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the stock market has become an important way for Hong Kong to raise funds. Because of the short period of time, the supervision system of the Heung Kong Securities industry is not perfect, and there are still many loopholes and shortcomings. Before the mid-1970s, Hong Kong''s securities and commodity markets were largely unregulated. After the stock market crash from 1973 to 1974, the Hong Kong government first intervened and then formulated core laws governing the securities and futures industry. To this end, the Hong Kong government has created a regulatory framework consisting of two non-full-time departments, namely the Supervisory Committee responsible for securities and commodity transactions, and the Office of the Commissioner of Securities and Commodities Trading. Together, these two departments form the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. But these two departments are part-time, which can witness the strength and prestige of the supervisory committee. Even the "Securities and Futures Commission Regulations" have not been formulated and perfected. It seems reluctant to accuse Xia Yu of manipulating stock prices. This is why Xia Yu has no scruples. According to history, it was not until the formal merger of the four exchanges in 1986 and the official opening of the Stock Exchange that there were express regulations, and in 1989, it was improved. Facts have proved that Xiangjiang''s securities regulatory system is not perfect, even after the establishment of the Stock Exchange in 1986, because of its many drawbacks and cannot keep up with the pace of the times. During the stock market crash in 1987, various problems were exposed and the losses were extremely heavy. Only after severe damage did the supervision and management improve substantially after May 1989. The current China Securities Regulatory Commission does not even have a standard name, and it is not a full-time department. Its influence on the Hong Kong Securities industry is not as strong as the board of directors of various exchanges. With only this capability, he jumped out to serve as a **** for the Jardine Foundation. Naturally, Xia Yu didn''t intend to give them face. This time I voluntarily came to the China Securities Regulatory Commission with them in order to clarify with them all at once, so as not to mess around later and waste his time. After leaving the Xiangjiang Securities Regulatory Commission, Xia Yu and Wang Qi sat in the back of the car together. Xia Yu said to Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, after returning home, continue to stock prices and arrange for people from several major companies to grab stocks a bit harder. The Jardine Consortium wants to cause us trouble to hold us back, keep us in a hurry, but can''t make them happy!" "understand!" Wang Qi solemnly responded, and there was also a raging anger in his heart. Xia Yu nodded slightly and stopped talking. He leaned on the seat, narrowed his eyes, and his brain was running wildly, thinking about the countermeasures. The things that the Jardine Foundation did actually cause real trouble to Xia Yu, and that was the case of Sing Tao News Corporation. Most of the other things were done for disgusting Xia Yu, restraining Xia Yu¡¯s energy and making Xia Yu doomed. They Good to grab time to get back the initiative. Not to mention, Xia Yu was really disgusted. For this reason, Xia Yu''s hatred for the Jardine Group was more intense, and he secretly decided that when dealing with the Jardine Group, he would be more ruthless! "Wait, coming soon!" Xia Yu said inwardly. After thinking about it, Xia Yu closed his eyes and pondered, trying to clear his mind. During this day, problems occurred one after another. Even if Xia Yu had stronger energy than ordinary people because of the practice of ancient Tai Chi, he would be mentally exhausted. Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of something. He opened his eyes and ordered Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, after returning, I immediately gave Luo a list of shareholders of our company''s five major funds that belonged to the government." "Especially the shareholders who hold positions in several important departments such as the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Department of Justice, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, etc., must be standardized. After the list is counted, they must be handed to me immediately! I!" Xia Yu exhorted again. "Ok!" Wang Qi immediately responded and guessed the purpose of the boss Xia Yu''s request for this list and the income list. People from the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Department of Justice are all coming to ask for trouble, and there may even be other departments running out to ask for trouble. The purpose of finding this list is to keep them in check. After all, those officials have money to put in Xia Yu''s fund Xia Yu can help them make money, and under the bond of interest, these people are naturally easy to stand on Xia Yu''s side. The Jardine Foundation was able to find people in these departments to trouble Xia Yu, and Xia Yu could naturally do the same, confining the struggle within their various departments. Although it may be that the time is too short to accumulate the bottom line, and these shareholders are probably not the opponents of the people sought by the Jardine consortium. But Xia Yu didn''t care. As long as he had a helper, he didn''t necessarily need to win. He only needed to hold on for a few days to crack the conspiracy of the Jardine Consortium. In a few days, Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others are definitely ready, and then it''s time for Xia Yu to show his power. By then, the Keswick family will definitely be overwhelmed. Where else will they have the energy to find Xia Yu''s trouble? ! After returning home, Xia Yu ran non-stop, one company after another, to calm the hearts of the employees, and at the same time instructed the managers of the various companies to prepare them at any time to deal with all possible troubles. Chapter 369: MacLehoses attitude As night falls, the wonderful nightlife officially begins. Whether it is a social worker or an exhausted white-collar worker who has gone to work all day, they all come out to relax at this time. However, the Governor''s House, located on Albert Road in the middle of the Central Ring of Hong Kong Island, fell into a peaceful and serene atmosphere. But inside the Governor''s House, there are still some lights on. The Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. MacLehose, sat face-to-face with the current Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lu Dingtang. MacLehose listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time, and Lu Dingtang gave a detailed account. Listening to the name, you will think that Lu Dingtang is Chinese, but in fact he is British. A Chinese name is also used to facilitate work management. After all, most of the whole Xiangjiang is Chinese. A Chinese name can eliminate some distance in many cases. . Lu Dingtang is the head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. His English name is Norman John Ludington. He was originally an official member of the Legislative Council. On the 4th of this month, he was just transferred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner. His resume has only been more than 20 days. Although he has only recently taken office, Lu Dingtang is the true confidant of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose. After all, the ICAC has a very special status in the Hong Kong government. It is a weapon in the hands of the Governor. Unlike other departments such as the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary, the ICAC does not need to be appointed by the London side, but is completely appointed by the Governor and belongs directly to Hong Kong. He is only responsible to the Governor of Hong Kong. Nobody in any other organization has the right to interfere with the work of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. What Lu Dingtang reported to MacLehose at this time was nothing but the action of the Jardine Consortium against Jiuding enterprises this morning. After all, as the government department under the supervision of the Governor of Hong Kong, within one day today, government departments such as the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Department of Justice, and the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission have successively found trouble with Jiuding enterprises. It is the fact that he is helping the Jardine consortium. Many government departments assisted the Jardine consortium and targeted the new Chinese consortium. This seriously violated the functions of government departments and was suspected of becoming a private service. Lu Dingtang had to take it seriously. Moreover, the struggle between the Jardine Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium has been raging in Xiangjiang, and the situation is very tense. At this time, many government departments intervened in favor of the Jardine Consortium, and the Jiuding Consortium is a media hegemon who deeply controls the essence of public opinion. If you are not careful, the Hong Kong government will provoke a show, and your reputation will be ruined. As MacLehose''s confidant, Lu Dingtang naturally wants to always consider MacLehose. No, after collecting all the changes in government departments today, Lu Dingtang came to the Governor''s House overnight to report to MacLehose and follow his instructions. After Lu Dingtang finished speaking, he sat quietly and looked at MacLehose, who was lost in thought. After listening to Lu Dingtang''s report, MacLehose remained unchanged, combing his thoughts continuously in his mind. Although he is the Governor of Hong Kong and has the power to manage the entire government, after all, the top leaders of many important departments are appointed by London, and various departments also have great autonomy. It is not necessary to report everything to him first. action. Therefore, MacLehose did not know about the changes in so many departments at first, that is, he heard some news in the afternoon. Now after listening to Lu Dingtang¡¯s report, he is very upset and dissatisfied with the actions of these departments. At the same time, he was also very dissatisfied with the actions of the Jardine Consortium. The Jardine Consortium did not notify him in advance, but went directly over him and let officials in several departments serve them. Of course, if the Jardine Foundation finds him, MacLehose will not agree to help them trouble Xia Yu. First of all, he is the Governor of Xiangjiang, and the most important thing is to manage Xiangjiang well. This requires him to maintain a neutral position and not favor the British capital or the Chinese capital. Otherwise, if he prefers British capital, this will arouse dissatisfaction among Chinese. If Chinese capital is still very weak, like decades ago, don¡¯t worry about it. The problem is that now that Chinese capital has grown up, what can be done? The negative impact is great, which is very detrimental to his governance of Xiangjiang. Secondly, out of political stance, MacLehose would not help the Jardine consortium. After all, he and the Keswick family, who is in charge of the Jardine consortium, are not all the same. The party behind the Jardine Foundation is different from the party that MacLehose belongs to. It is completely competitive or even hostile. Although the Hong Kong government needs to rely on them to govern Hong Kong because of the energy of the Jardine Foundation, it is also a business matter. And the governance of Xiangjiang is also inseparable from the powerful Chinese consortium. Therefore, MacLehose will not take care of how they fight, and it is not convenient to stand in line to intervene. For a long time, MacLehose said solemnly: "You have just taken over the Independent Commission Against Corruption from Ji Da, and the internal affairs have not been sorted out yet. Speed ??up." "As for these departments, you can send someone to supervise them secretly. As long as they don''t get too hot, just follow them. If there are signs of bad things, report to me immediately and be ready at any time." Regarding this kind of strange order, although Lu Dingtang was puzzled, he did not ask more, but nodded in response: "Yes!" What the various departments do, if other factors are not taken into consideration, seem to be working in the office, so it is indeed inconvenient for MacLehose to intervene until there is no adverse effect. After all, the power of appointment and dismissal of all major departments is in London, and he is mainly the power of appointment and dismissal and supervision and management. If this time helping the Jardine consortium secretary is personally done by the heads of various departments, then he can only turn one eye and close one eye, and treat it as not seeing. If it is a deputy or a small employee in each department, it will be even more inconvenient for him to intervene. Not to mention the downgrade, he also stretches his hand too long, so it is best to deal with it internally by each department. To put it more bluntly, he, the governor of the house, should be doing the work of wiping his buttocks at this time. In addition to occasionally mentioning a few words, you need a good reason to intervene in a legitimate way! "Go, it''s late, go back and rest early!" MacLehose said lightly. "Okay, your Excellency, you also have to rest early!" After Lu Dingtang finished speaking, he got up and left. After Lu Dingtang closed and left, McLehose crossed his fingers and continued to fall into deep thought. For a long time, he muttered to himself: "Jiehe Consortium... Jiuding Consortium... Ha..." ... "Hey, Mr. Dawson, this is Xia Yu, good evening!" "...Yes, there is good news. The profit rate of Evergreen No. 1 Fund has now reached 8%... By the way, today a law enforcement team from the Industrial and Commercial Administration came to our company to investigate. Do you know this?" "...Okay, then trouble you. The normal operation of the fund requires a good environment, which is always disruptedprone to problems..." After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu smiled slightly, obviously in a good mood. This is already the fifth person, and they are all high-ranking investors. Although what Xia Yu said is a little cryptic, those people are all human beings. He immediately knew what Xia Yu meant. If he knew the situation, he told Xia Yu about the situation. If he didn¡¯t know the situation, he patted his chest and said that he would try his best to help Xia Yu solve the trouble. . Xia Yu believed in their promise. After all, there is a chain of interests connected, and they will definitely be willing to help, as long as they can hold off for a few days. Of course, if the trouble can be solved directly, that would be great! "The Keswick family, hehe, you have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder, not only you have connections..." With a sneer, Xia Yu continued to call. Only when you make a call in person can you be more weighty and get things resolved. Chapter 370: Fight if you want! Im afraid you wont make it! (2 in 1 large Xia Yu has been investigated for so many companies, and now he is at the center of the storm, which is very eye-catching. Naturally, the scene that was investigated was seen by many people, including reporters standing guard. In this critical period, being investigated by so many official departments means too much, and it has to be imaginative! Because of this, many newspapers the next day reported such news, with headlines that were exaggerated one by one, for fear that the world would not be chaotic. Fortunately, none of the newspapers under Xia Yu mentioned these things. A few big newspapers did not mention them, and some small newspapers could not make hype. Even if they tried their best, limited by their own energy, it only triggered local heated discussions. . However, although there is little discussion, everyone who should know knows it. This also makes the situation of the battle for the Jardine Machine Group suddenly become uncertain and full of variables in the eyes of others. So the next day, Jardine Machinery Group''s share price rose somewhat slower than yesterday. The stock price rise is small, how can this be! "Go harder, raise the price for me, and raise the stock price for me!" In the closed building where the Galaxy Fund was located, Xia Yu gave orders to the staff below with a serious face. Isn¡¯t the Jardine Consortium making trouble for him just to consume his energy, control the stock price, and prevent it from soaring? He even refused to let the Jardine consortium wish! Isn''t the Jardine consortium trying to slow down its share price? Xia Yu was determined to the end and lifted the stock price to the end, showing firm determination and strengthening the confidence of other funds following the trend! And in order to get more benefits for himself, he has to do his best to raise the stock price to the highest level! ... In a cafe, four people are sitting opposite each other, with quadruple coffee on the table. Although this is a quiet box of a high-end coffee shop, the atmosphere at this time is very solemn. And if the scene of this meeting is filmed by reporters and spread out, it will definitely cause a strong sensation in Xiangjiang. Just because the protagonist of this meeting is too special! Xia Yu and Wang Qi sat on the left, while on the right were John Keswick, the helm of the Jardine Consortium, and Niu Bijian, the chief executive of the Jardine Group. Old John asked blankly, looking straight at Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, I don''t know how you are thinking about it?" Xia Yu showed a playful smile, stroked the cup with his hand, as if he could see flowers on it. With this attitude of Xia Yu, Niu Bi beside Old John couldn''t help but frown. He wanted to speak about Xia Yu, but when he saw Old John shook his head slightly, he stopped him with his eyes. Old John is not in a hurry. He knows that Xia Yu is playing a psychological war with him, or that he is deliberately exasperating, but he is not worried at all, and there is no turmoil in his heart. For decades, the business sea is up and down. He has seen too much! Now his methods have taken effect. According to common sense, Xia Yu is a newly emerging Chinese tycoon after all. Although he is each other''s enemies, the old John fully recognizes Xia Yu''s ability to make money, but he does not believe it. In such a short period of time, Xia Yu was able to weave a network of contacts comparable to the foundation accumulated by the Jardine Consortium over a century and a long time. In his opinion, Xia Yu will eventually bow his head under his pressure. Now that the result is doomed, let him put on his airs now, it will naturally be revealed in a few days. Now that Xia Yu''s end is doomed, why bother about how the grasshopper that is about to fall jumps? Therefore, for Xia Yu''s behavior at this time, Old John was very calm, looking straight at him coldly, without saying a word. After a long time, Xia Yu stopped the movements in his hands and slowly raised his head to look at Old John. The two looked at each other for several seconds. At this time, Xia Yu sneered and spoke slowly, but his tone was very firm, and said: "Impossible, I am sure to win the Jardine Machine Group. If Mr. John thinks that some unreasonable means can force me to bow, That will only make people laugh out loud!" As the saying goes, clay figurines also have a three-point spirit, not to mention that Old John has been in a high position for decades! Now Xia Yu was so blunt, he opened the covering cloth and hit him in the face. Even though the old John''s mood was strong, there was a wave of waves, and an unknown fire rose from the bottom of his heart. The muddy eyes of Old John who was sitting calmly became sharp like eagle eyes, his gaze looked at Xia Yu like a knife, and he didn''t hide his face. He said with a cold face, "Mr. Xia, you can accept it as soon as you see it." You should understand, nothing is too late! You should understand!" "50 Hong Kong dollars per share, you sell me all the stocks in your hand, and promise not to snipe other companies under my control!" Old John looked at Xia Yudao resolutely, completely in a tone that was not negotiable. In his opinion, this kind of request is already very tolerant to Xia Yu, and it can even be said to give Xia Yu another chance. After all, Xia Yu made him lose control of two leading companies in their respective domains, Jardine Air Cargo Terminal and Jardine Insurance Company. The share price of Jardine Machinery Group was also fetched by Xia Yu from 27.5 Hong Kong dollars to the current price. It is enough to give him 50 Hong Kong dollars per share! However, in the eyes of Old John, he was particularly kind to Xia Yu, but in Xia Yu''s eyes, Old John is now taking the lead to threaten him. Yesterday, the closing price of the Jardine Machinery Group reached more than 50 Hong Kong dollars per share, and today it has soared to 60 Hong Kong dollars per share. Now, not only has the old John bought it at a premium, but thinks that he is really holding his handle. , Xia Yu must sell him the stock at a low price. Want to be beautiful! "Impossible, you will fight if you want to fight with me, I will definitely win the Jardine Machine Group!" Xia Yu''s attitude was very firm, and he stared at Old John without showing any weakness, with an extremely firm look in his eyes. The expressions of Old John and Niubijian suddenly changed. Old John stared at Xia Yu like a tiger that devours people. There was a hint of gunpowder in his tone: "Mr. Xia, don''t be fooled!" "Humph!" Xia Yu sneered and counterattacked: "Mr. John, I am not scared. In shopping malls, acquisitions and mergers are normal things. Are you only allowed to buy other people''s companies and not allow us to reverse acquisitions?" "If you have the ability to manage your own company, don''t give me a chance instead of sitting here and scaring me now!" "If you have any means, let me see if I am afraid!" At the end, Xia Yu''s tone also became angry, but after speaking, he felt smooth all over! There are so many moths in one day, although Xia Yu is not in a hurry, but the depression in his heart has accumulated a lot, just taking this opportunity to vent! Otherwise, he was really afraid of him, the Jardine Foundation! In the final analysis, the Jardine Consortium is a small regional consortium in an underdeveloped region in the world today. Its control capital is only more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to only several billion US dollars. If the Jardine consortium is like the Rockefeller or Morgan consortium, where the company goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt during the battle, he would definitely not dare to scratch the beard at a young age. To blame Xia Yu''s vision is too high, the heart is too broad, and the powerful Jardine Consortium, which is feared in the eyes of Hong Kong people, is just like that in Xia Yu''s eyes, without any sense of awe or fear. Fight when you fight, and it''s not that you don''t have the power to fight back! It''s better to offend Old John. Anyway, Xia Yu had already made up his mind to **** him. If Old John was still kind, Xia Yu might be embarrassed to make heavy moves! "Ha ha!" "Well, since Mr. Xia is so confident, then continue to look down!" Old John fixedly looked at Xia Yu for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and said lightly. After speaking, he stood up and walked outside with a gloomy Niu Bijian. "Let''s wait and see!" Xia Yu left a sentence indifferently and watched Old John and Niu Bijian leave. "Boss, John Keswick really thought it was going to eat us, hehe!" Wang Qi said with a chuckle. "Ha ha!" "The Jardine Consortium is indeed strong, but our strengths are their shortcomings. Of course, it is difficult to deal with us head-on. If manufacturers like Lin Baixin or real estate developers like Li Jiacheng offend him, the Jardine Consortium has many methods to do it. Display." "To deal with us, we can only use some shameful means, ashamed!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head slightly mockingly. "It''s true, it''s the boss, you have the foresight. Starting from the media and finance, these two industries are both strong offensive and defensive industries. Wang Qi nodded in agreement and said in admiration. "Haha!" "Wang Qi, when have you learned to flatter?" Hearing this, Xia Yu glanced at Wang Qi somewhat unexpectedly, and laughed. "No, no, this is definitely the truth from my heart, without any flattery!" Wang Qi quickly explained seriously, not admitting that he was flattering. "You, you, haha!" Xia Yu pointed his finger at Wang Qi and nodded, shook his head slightly and smiled. "Well, it''s getting late, let''s go back. Since old John let us walk and see, if we don''t move, wouldn''t it let him down?" "Step up after I go back, it should be these two days!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took the coffee and drank it, grabbed the napkin and gently touched the corner of his mouth, then stood up and walked outside. After the old John and Xia Yu broke up, they immediately went back to exert greater pressure. Not long after that, they boarded the plane to Singapore. His goal was obvious, which was to take the Yip owned by Singapore Temasek Investment Company. 5.24% stake in Hejiji Group. On the phone before, he had already talked to Li Yao. Li Yao managed everything and did not pay attention to the battle for the Jardine Machine Group. However, he was a good individual. After the old John called him, he realized that there was a problem. And when he is not clear about the situation, of course he will not make a promise easily. It is just Old John who asks to come. Li Yao has already intentionally transferred the stock to Old John, but this is also an opportunity for him as a politician. , Anything can be a bargaining chip to his advantage, of course he has to make good use of it. Perceiving a trace of Li Yao''s attitude, Old John also wanted to seek stability, so he agreed with Li Yao to go to Singapore to meet with him in person. When Old John went to Singapore, Xia Yu''s phone call also played a role, and Jiuding Securities began to show its contacts. Those investors have the same interests as Xia Yu. If Xia Yu lives well, they will get more benefits. If Xia Yu falls, they will lose money. With common interests, they will naturally work hard to defend Xia Yu, and with their containment, the power of the Jardine consortium''s insidious offensive is greatly reduced. In addition, Xia Yu''s success or failure is not only related to himself, but also to whether Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yu and others can bite the meat. The arrow has been wound and it is impossible to take it down. You must shoot a prey before you can stop. ! Therefore, for their own benefit, these big Chinese men called in one after another to ask about Xia Yu''s situation. Xia Yu naturally realized that this was a good opportunity, so he didn''t hide anything, and directly informed everyone of the secret tricks of the Jardine Consortium. After understanding the situation, these big Chinese men patted their chests and promised to mobilize their contacts to help Xia Yu. All of a sudden, the telephones of the leading offices of the major departments of the Hong Kong government rang intensively. Just like a high-ranking third-in-command of the Xiangjiang Administration for Industry and Commerce, he successively received calls from three big Chinese leaders, including Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, and Wang Dehui. Although the three people said different things, they had strange meanings. The same, that is, take care of Xia Yu''s company and help Xia Yu speak. Originally, this third-in-command turned a blind eye to Xia Yu''s company, the second-in-command in the Industrial and Commercial Administration. But after receiving so many requests from Chinese bigwigs, he had to pay attention to it and made up his mind to use his rights to compete with the second in command and give Xia Yu a hand. This kind of situation is not only happening here in the Industrial and Commercial Administration, but similar scenes are being staged in many departments. The benefits of having many friends are undoubtedly evident at this moment. Xia Yu alone is not an opponent of the well-founded Jardine Consortium, but when these big Chinese men who have accumulated deeper than Xia Yu made the move, the resistance to these insidious tricks of the Jardine Consortium rises sharply. There is no way to reunify, so how can you talk about having the time and mind to find Xia Yu''s trouble? At this time, Old John also left Xiangjiang. Henry, Charles and Niu Bijian didn''t have as much face as Old John After learning about this situation, they were all very troubled and quickly reported to Old John. After learning of this situation, Old John couldn''t help frowning and thinking for a long time. Although he felt unhappy, he still put it down for the time being, and he was in a good mood. It was important to take down the equity in Temasek first. As long as we take down 5.24% of Temasek''s equity, plus the original equity of Jardine Holdings, we will be able to own about 44% of the equity, and the security will be greatly improved. Part of the pressure on him can also be eliminated, or transferred to Xia Yu. The struggle between politics and business has had a profound impact, and many Chinese bigwigs have started their actions. For a while, the caring people felt that the entire Xiangjiang sky was unknowingly filled with a sense of depression. Many people have to be vigilant. Some financial investment companies unnaturally slowed down their plans and prepared to wait and see the situation for the time being. It''s windy~ Chapter 371: Hong Kong Bank of China Although the situation is quite different, thanks to Xia Yu''s order of his subordinates to resolutely raise the stock price, and the help of other Chinese tycoons, the share price of Jardine Machinery Group has continued to rise after all. Confidence in the unstable market has been stabilized to a certain extent! So by the end of the afternoon, the stock price was raised to 78 Hong Kong dollars! This price is already more than 2.8 times the initial stock price of 27.5 yuan per share! It''s a pity that today is Friday, so the stock market will be closed for adjustment in the next two days. If investors want to see the changes in the share price of Jardine Machinery Group, they have to wait until next Monday! Although the stock market was closed for adjustment, Xia Yu did not slack in the slightest and is still increasing his bargaining chips. At half past six in the night, in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel! Xia Yu and Wang Qi landed on the sofa in the luxurious leisure area on the left side of the hall. They chatted, but they looked out the door from time to time. "Boss, people are coming!" At this moment, the sharp-eyed Wang Qi saw a figure walking from outside, he immediately reminded. Upon hearing this, Xia Yu nodded slightly, and at the same time stood up and walked towards the door. Wang Qi followed Xia Yu''s steps step by step. "Mr. Chen, good evening!" When Xia Yu and Wang Qi came to the door, the people Xia Yu was waiting for also came to the door. Both parties recognized each other and each quickened their pace. Xia Yu first extended his hand and greeted warmly. The person here is not someone else, it is Chen Hongxing, the chairman of Xiangjiang Bank of China! "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, good evening, I am sorry to ask you to wait at the door!" Mr. Chen quickly shook hands with Xia Yu, and said with a trace of apology, but he spoke with a sincere tone. "It should be!" Xia Yu smiled politely. As he said, he looked at a middle-aged man who was half behind Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen immediately introduced with a smile: "Let me introduce you to both of you. This is Song Weihua, the CEO of our bank just recently took office." "Mr. Song, hello!" Xia Yu and Wang Qi shook hands to greet Song Weihua, and Song Weihua quickly responded with smiles. "Standing at the door affected other people''s business, or let''s go in and talk about it!" "As it should be, please!" "please!" Soon, the four of them arrived in the box that had been set a long time ago. Not long after sitting down, the food was served one by one. After a while, the table was full of delicious dishes. Xia Yu is a top customer of The Peninsula Hotel, so his services are completed at the fastest speed and the best quality. If ordinary people come, how could it be possible to have all the dishes so fast! "Mr. Chen, Mr. Song, the food is shabby, please just take a moment!" Xia Yu made a please gesture and said politely. "Mr. Xia is too modest. This table is full of good dishes. I have a bad taste for a year, so I enjoyed your blessing today. Haha, how can I be shabby!" Chen Hongxing has been immersed in human relationships and sophistication for many years, and his eloquence is also very strong. When talking with people, he can always speak comfortably. "Haha!" "You''re welcome, everyone move your chopsticks!" "Mr. Xia, let''s do it ourselves and move the chopsticks together!" ... Pushing the cup and changing the cup, the wine passed three rounds, and the atmosphere gradually became strong. Huaxia people like to talk about things at the wine table, and Xia Yu and Chen Hongxing are no exception. "Mr. Chen, Mr. Song, you also know that although Xiangjiang has been my place in China since ancient times, and the people living in it are basically Chinese, but due to historical issues, my Chinese status is not necessarily high." Xia Yu said with emotion. Over half a hundred years old, Chen Hongxing nodded in agreement, with a look of helplessness, but his attitude was very firm and said: "This is caused by historical factors, and we can''t help it, but we Chinese are hardworking and capable, daring to work hard, and extremely united with the outside world. In the past few decades, can''t you stand up against the British?" "Just like now, Mr. Xia achieved such a high level of achievement at a young age, and he was able to beat the Jardine Consortium steadily and retreat, which really strengthens our Chinese personality! Admire!" "Thin wine in the glass, let''s talk to show respect!" With that, Chen Hongxing held up the wine glass. "Hey!" Xia Yu also picked up the wine glass and sprayed with Chen Hongxing, and the two drank half of the wine left in the glass. "Mr. Xia, to be honest, I have been in Xiangjiang for twelve years, and I know a little bit about Xiangjiang. After so many years, I have also seen the rise and fall of the business world and the rise of big men. "But if the person I admire the most is not the ship king Bao Yugang, nor Li Zhaoji or Guo Desheng and others, but you, on this point, I definitely did not lie!" Chen Hongxing continued with emotion. Such a high evaluation made Xia Yu a little flattered and even humble. Chen Hongxing is the chairman of the Bank of China at Xiangjiang, and Bank of China is a solid and powerful nail for the mainland in Hongxing. Chen Hongxing¡¯s status in the party will naturally not be low. His straightforward and high evaluation really makes Xia Yu''s heart. Comfortable. This has to be said about the special management system of the Bank of China. Under normal circumstances, the chairman of a company is also the executive president, but this is not the case with the Bank of China. HeungKong Bank of China is too special after all, and the political tasks behind it are also very important. Of course, choosing managers must choose carefully. In order to avoid concentrating power to one person, the chairman and executive president of Heungkong Bank of China are respectively assumed by two persons. The division of labor between the two is clearly defined and has been clearly stipulated in the responsibilities of the board of directors. In short, the chairman of the company is the largest and is responsible for ensuring that the board of directors performs its functions properly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ implements good corporate governance practices and procedures; in addition, as the chairman of the board, the chairman is also responsible for ensuring that all directors are properly informed Obtain sufficient, complete and reliable information on current matters in a timely manner. The executive president is responsible for leading the entire management and implementing the important strategies and development strategies adopted by the board of directors. He is the executor, and his position is lower than the chairman. So when he came in today, Song Weiping, who is the chief executive officer, was half a body behind Chen Hongxing, to show his inferiority! "Dong Chen, you are too enthusiastic about this. I am embarrassed to say that. I still know myself. Compared with other big guys, I am still far behind, and there is still a lot to learn!" Xia Yu waved his hand again and again, and smiled modestly. "Haha!" Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua smiled kindly. "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, is there anything we can do for the Jardine Machine Group this time?" The smile gradually subsided, and Chen Hongxing''s expression became a little serious, and he asked. After talking for so long, the topic finally came! Xia Yu''s heart shuddered, his spirit became concentrated, and he said with some emotion, "Dong Chen, first of all, let me express my thanks!" "I really need your help in some places!" "Presumably the two of you have heard some of the situation in the past two days. In order to prevent our actions, the Jardine Consortium used various tricks and wanted me to fail the acquisition." "And I got news that today John Keswick, the helm of the Jardine Consortium, has already flown to Singapore. This time has already arrived. The two of his goals should have been guessed. It is for the 5.24 of Temasek Investment Holdings. Equity." "The original equity held by the Jardine Consortium exceeds that of mine. If he takes the equity in Temasek Investment Holdings, then this action will be cast a shadow!" Chapter 372: Cooperation Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua concentrated, listened quietly to Xia Yu''s account, and nodded in cooperation from time to time. Of course, they are also always watching the far-reaching stock market battle. Naturally, they also know that Xia Yu''s company has been troubled by various departments of the Hong Kong government, and they also know who did it. For the Jardine Consortium, which is more than ten times stronger than Xia Yu, it used shameful and dirty methods to force Xia Yu to compromise. Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua were completely inconspicuous. Helpless, this is Xia Yu''s business. Even if they don''t pleasing to the eye, they can''t help but complain about the shamelessness of the Yihe Foundation from time to time! No, they can still help Xia Yu! No, aren¡¯t they here tonight? ! "Mr. Xia, we are both Huaxia people. Since you are in trouble, we are here to help!" Chen Hongxing pondered for a moment, and said solemnly, Song Weihua, who was sitting beside him, said in agreement: "That''s right!" "Our bank owns 2.54% of the equity of Jardine Machine Group, which can be transferred to you, but I hope you don¡¯t think too little! I hope it can play a role!" Chen Hongxing said proudly, Xia Yu and Wang Qi couldn''t help but smile. Chen Hongxing is indeed a human spirit, knowing that there is a big difference between active and passive answers. So there is no need for Xia Yu to ask for it, so he volunteered to sell the stock to Xia Yu. As long as Xia Yu accepts love, then the cooperation he wants to talk about next will be better. In his opinion, the 2.54% equity of Jardine Machinery Group is far less valuable than the cooperation that will be mentioned next. After all, the cooperation he intends to do is a strategic cooperation that can have a significant impact on the Bank of China! can''t help but he is careless! "Dong Chen, thank you so much, your 2.54% equity, but you can help me a lot!" Xia Yu said with a big smile, with sincere gratitude in his words. "Haha, just useful!" Chen Hongxing said with a faint smile, obviously also very happy, but I don''t know if he is happy for Xia Yu or is happy for himself! Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Dong Chen, the closing price of the stock price today is 78 Hong Kong dollars. Since you help me, I must not let you lose. In this way, I will buy all the stocks in your bank''s hands for 90 Hong Kong dollars. , I don''t know what you want?" Chen Hongxing was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia is too polite. You don''t need to spend so much. The price of 90 Hong Kong dollars per share is too high. If I agree, it doesn''t mean that I am taking advantage of the fire. It makes my conscience uneasy. !" "Wei Hua, don''t you think?" Chen Hongxing also asked Song Weihua. "Yes, the price is too high, Mr. Xia is so proud, but we can''t help but know how to advance and retreat." Song Weihua echoed. "This one¡­¡­" ¡­¡­ Xia Yu doesn''t care about this little money, anyway, it still has to be counted on the head of the Jardine Consortium. But Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua''s plan is very big. Of course, they can''t sell the stocks at too high a price, otherwise it will affect the cooperation proposed later, so they want to keep the price down. When others buy and sell stocks, the buyer wants to keep the price to a minimum, while the seller gritted his teeth and refused to lower the price. But when it comes to Xia Yu and Chen Hongxing, it is completely reversed. This scene is really dumbfounding. There is no way, this stock Xia Yu is definitely needed, and Chen Hongxing and others also want to promote the subsequent strategic cooperation. So both parties continued to compromise, and the final transaction price was set at 85 Hong Kong dollars per share. The total trading price of all stocks is 86.36 million Hong Kong dollars! Together with the stocks Xia Yu previously owned and successively acquired, he now owns 31.2% of the shares of Jardine Machinery Group, and the total cost has reached more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars! The cooperation intention is reached, the better the next day, the signing of the equity transfer agreement at Xiangjiang Bank of China. "Thanks to Dong Chen and Mr. Song for their generosity, I will toast both of you! Xia Yu held the wine glass in both hands, said solemnly, and swallowed the full glass of wine in one breath. Such bold manners made Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua very moved, and they each did their best to drink a full mouthful. "Dong Chen, it''s no wonder that the Bank of China''s business has grown rapidly and it has grown rapidly over the past few years. I finally found out the reason, that is, you are so bold in doing things, and the business of Bank of China is not good." Xia Yu touted. "Haha, too much praise, the Bank of China is developing well, and the main credit is given to other people. I didn''t play any role!" Chen Hongxing said modestly. "And among all commercial banks in Hong Kong, the Bank of China is now ranked fifth or sixth, and the road to go is still far away!" "Don''t be arrogant, Dong Chen, under the wise leadership of you and Mr. Song, it will be sooner or later that Bank of China surpasses HSBC!" Xia Yu said firmly, as if he had seen the scene of BOC''s summit. Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua heard that, although they were all smiles, Chen Hongxing still said modestly: "I don''t want to climb to the top. HSBC is too difficult to surpass. When I am in office, I will be in the top three, and I will burn the incense! " "And if you want to break into the top three, you absolutely cannot do without the cooperation and help of Mr. Xia and the tycoons of Xiangjiang." Chen Hongxing said, leading the topic in the direction he wanted. Xia Yu heard it all at once, but he didn''t mind, but rather looked forward to how Chen Hongxing wanted to cooperate with him. "Of course this!" Xia Yu said very agreeably ~ www.novelhall.com~ to give a peach and return. Just now Chen Hongxing gave face so, Xia Yu naturally also expressed his intention, so he also took the initiative to propose his plan. Then I saw him gently put down his chopsticks, leaned forward, made a listening posture, and asked softly: "Dong Chen, do you know if there is any chance for us to cooperate?" Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua quickly looked at each other, and they exchanged their eyes, and they saw them saying in unison: "Of course there is, you didn''t say that I just wanted to put it forward with a shame." "Haha!" "please say!" Xia Yu made a please gesture, and then listened quietly with Wang Qijing. "The Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. created by Mr. Xia is an Optimus Prime in the financial industry. As a commercial bank, we manage a lot of deposits, so we want to see if we can cooperate." Chen Hongxing first flattered Xia Yu, and Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. Then, he whispered: "Our commercial bank has the advantage of having a lot of funds, but the disadvantages are also obvious. There is no way to fully operate these funds and let them give full play to their value." "And Xia Shenggui is a stock god, everyone in Xiangjiang knows that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has a stable income and a high profit margin. I just don''t know if we have a chance to cooperate in this regard?" After Chen Hongxing finished speaking, he and Song Weihua both looked at Xia Yu with piercing eyes, and their anticipation was beyond words. Calculate the time, it is the early morning on the 30th of the lunar calendar, I wish you all a happy new year in advance! Borrow the big golden phrase, I wish you all friends and family "Fu''an" and "Chang Le" for a lifetime! Chapter 373: Bank-Securities Cooperation (2 Seeing the expected gazes of Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua, Xia Yu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem, this cooperation is a win-win! How can I refuse it!" "Win-win?" Hearing Xia Yu''s promise without hesitation, Chen Hongxing smiled on his face and muttered it several times. The smile on his face became brighter. He said to Xia Yu with admiration, "Mr. Xia is worthy of being a great literary master of a generation. The word "win-win" refers to the essence of cooperation!" Song Weihua complimented: "It is true, cooperation should be a win-win situation, so that it can be done for a long time. Mr. Xia has a deep understanding of the true meaning of business. I am not able to figure it out at my age, so I am ashamed!" "It''s too famous!" Xia Yu smiled, and said with a slight humility, only to remember that this era is not like the Internet era of the later generations. The idea of ??¡®cooperation and win-win¡¯ is still widely spread, and may not even be put forward. "Dong Chen, President Song, do you have any specific regulations for cooperation?" Stop talking about gossip, Xia Yu asked the subject. Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua looked at each other, Chen Hongxing nodded slightly, and then saw Song Weihua said: "Mr. Xia, I wonder if your company can open several fund products for our bank alone?" After finishing speaking, Song Weihua looked at him with piercing eyes. Xia Yu''s smile narrowed and he was silent, causing Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua to frown slightly, and glanced at each other. This scene was seen by Xia Yu''s peripheral vision, and he was happy. In fact, he is doing it now. This kind of cooperation is very beneficial to him. How can he be unwilling? It''s just that now that they have entered the stage of negotiation, every point of Xia Yu''s performance will affect their psychological expectations. In order to make more profits and be more beneficial to him, of course, he must make a gesture and lower their psychological expectations. Talked! For a long time, realizing that the fire is almost over, Xia Yu slowly nodded in the joyful eyes of Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua: "No problem, this cooperation is beneficial to both of us, and there is still a lot of room for our company''s investment capabilities!" "Thank you Mr. Xia!" Song Weihua smiled brightly, first expressed his gratitude, and then talked about the thoughts he had discussed. "Mr. Xia, we have made an anticipated plan. Now I will tell you that if you think it is appropriate or not, we will discuss it on the spot..." Song Weihua said in detail, explaining in detail the initial plan they had made before Xiangjiang Bank of China. Xia Yu and Wang Qi listened carefully and nodded in response from time to time. This kind of attitude made Song Weihua and Chen Hongxing more expectant, and Song Weihua became more fluent in speaking. Although Chen Hongxing has a higher status and is the chairman of Heung Kong Bank of China, the chairman is mainly responsible for comprehensive management and scheduling. This arrangement is full of mainland characteristics. It is actually Song Weihua, the CEO who decides the company''s specific implementation plan! There is a specialization in the technical industry, and the company can develop better and better by entrusting professional matters to professional people! Xiangjiang¡¯s intention to cooperate with Bank of China is not too much. Maybe they know that Xia Yu is great, but they can¡¯t take advantage of Xia Yu, so they simply plan on the ground and don¡¯t want to pit Xia Yu. Xiangjiang Bank of China is a commercial bank, mainly engaged in retail fund storage business and investment management business. With so much capital in banks, in order to fully create profits, it must have a high-investment reporting business. The bank-securities cooperation can greatly increase the bank¡¯s profits, while enhancing the bank¡¯s attractiveness to depositors and its competitiveness with other banks. After all, the rise of the mainland has been too short. Even in later generations, for the sake of national financial security, many financial policies have not been liberalized. For fear of being impacted by the foreign financial industry, those financial consortia and forces will cut leeks over and over again. However, the financial industry in mainland China still had national policy barriers in the previous life. However, the Xiangjiang Bank of China, which was lonely in Hong Kong, could not be protected. It faced strong competition from the beginning. If you want not to die, you need to be bigger and stronger. , It can only take three steps and two steps, try every means to run development, catch up with the pace of big banks, and even surpass. Therefore, cooperating with a star securities company such as Jiuding Securities can greatly enhance the visibility and attractiveness of Heungkong Bank of China, which is of great benefit to Heungkong Bank of China! There are many ways of bank-securities cooperation, if the most common are the two major models. The first major category is simple and rude lending. Securities companies borrow from banks and provide fixed interest to the bank, or banks provide financial support, provide financial leverage for securities companies, and charge fund usage fees! The second type is entrusted management. The bank entrusts part of its own assets to the securities company to help manage the investment. The securities company charges a certain percentage of the handling fee, or the bank receives a percentage of the total profit. In addition to these two common ways of capital operation, there are other more common ways of cooperation. For example, IPO underwriting, with securities companies matching up, establishing appropriate funding channels, and allowing banks to provide financing services for listed companies under the premise of establishing a risk firewall, so as to achieve capital interaction between banks and the capital market. Cooperating with Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has many benefits to Heungkong Bank of China, of course, and vice versa. Securities companies are capital operations and need large capital support, but there are only so many investors who open new accounts every year. Even if Jiuding Securities is attractive, it still seems a little weak if it wants to develop into a global securities company. , So often ask the bank to borrow money to invest. To borrow money from a bank, it is better for the bank to entrust the funds to the securities company for investment management, one is active and the other is passive, the difference is big! In addition, there are always many people in the world who don''t like stocks, or for some reason, they don''t. But there is a saying in later generations, the cultivation of dishes should start with the doll! For this reason, many financial training or securities publicity activities are held in the gimmick of teaching children how to manage money. What is the real purpose? It¡¯s not for children to have access to the capital market from childhood. When they grow up, all these children will be emerging forces in the capital market. Only the capital market will maintain rapid growth, and the cake will become bigger and bigger. Mouthful! Although the cooperation between Jiuding Securities and Heungjiang Bank of China does not mean this, the essence is still the same, that is, it wants more customers. Xiangjiang Bank of China needs to use the gimmick of cooperation with Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. to collect deposits and attract new depositors. And Xia Yu also took a fancy to the huge depositor resources of the Bank of China. So next, Xia Yu and Song Weihua entered into a detailed negotiation process, with the purpose of letting Xiangjiang Bank of China provide securities intermediary agency services. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. entrusted Heungjiang Bank of China branch to handle the account opening business, taking advantage of the developed branch of Bank of China to attract more investors. At the same time, for mutual benefit, Xia Yu also proposed that the two cooperate to develop the "Bank-Securities Link System". This "Bank-Securities Link System" is not a more comprehensive system of later generations, but a preliminary version. It does not involve the Internet, but uses a basic telephone and an initial electronic transaction system. Investors directly use the current savings account cards and passbooks opened at the branches of Heungjiang Bank of China as securities margin accounts, and conduct securities trading through the entrust system of the bank or the entrustment system of Jiuding Securities. At the same time, in order to satisfy Heungkong Bank of China, during the negotiation process, Xia Yu also agreed that Heungjiang Bank of China could directly liquidate funds with all investors under Jiuding Securities, greatly reducing the threshold for cooperation between the two. In this way, both Heung Kong Bank of China and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will be more competitive in their respective fields. As time passed, the discussion came to an end. Each issue is resolved through discussion, and the framework of cooperation is becoming clearer and clearer. "Happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" Finally, the four of them stood up and shook hands with each other, smiling comfortably on their faces. "Mr. Xia, if it is appropriate, we will sign a cooperation agreement tomorrow. I wonder what you think?" Chen Hongxing asked with a smile. "no problem!" Xia Yu said without hesitation. "it is good!" ¡­¡­ After ¡¡¡¡, seeing that it was late, the four exchanged a few words again and proposed to leave. "Boss, congratulations!" After getting on the car, Wang Qi congratulated Xia Yu with a smile on his face, not only to congratulate Xia Yu on taking the shares of Jardine Machine Group, but also to congratulate the company on the in-depth cooperation with Camera Bank of China. Both of these are of great benefit to the boss Xia Yu. At the same time, I feel very proud. Due to the strength of the boss and the energy of the securities company, HeungKong Bank of China, as the first-tier bank of HeungKong, has taken the initiative to seek cooperation. How can we not let him be proud? "Haha!" Xia Yu laughed and felt very happy. Although Xia Yu owns a bank, he will use the strength of Jiuding Securities to accelerate its growth in the future. Cooperating with Xiangjiang Bank of China in advance will consume some of its advantages. But Xia Yu always settled accounts, not caring about the gains and losses of one city and one pool. The cooperation with Xiangjiang Bank of China will certainly have a slight impact on Guangan Bank, which has not yet been exposed, but in the long run, the advantages for Xia Yu far outweigh the disadvantages. Political influence and significance alone cannot be measured by money. Moreover, the cooperation is also greatly beneficial to Jiuding Securities, which is a giant of one party, and can provide a booster for the development of Jiuding Securities and accelerate the company''s accumulation of strength. In addition, since the banking market of HeungKong is so big, HeungKong Bank of China is destined to rise, especially after the return of HeungKong, it has become HeungKong''s second largest commercial bank after HSBC. This is a destined thing, even if Xia Yu does not cooperate this time, Xiangjiang Bank of China, backed by the mainland, can rise. Since it cannot be stopped, it is better to cooperate to obtain some benefits. And the HeungKong Bank market is very large. It is not that the decline of HeungKong Bank of China will benefit Guangan Bank that has not yet risen, or that the rise of HeungKong Bank of China will impact Guangan Bank. actually not. The current Guangan Bank is still very weak, and the influence of HeungKong Bank of China has not spread to it. The impact is also to impact banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Seng Bank, and Far East Bank. When Guang''an Bank emerges later, the above-mentioned banks will also be competitors. There will be no more than one, and the most important thing is to see their own hard power. This is still a superficial analysis ~ www.novelhall.com ~ From a long-term and deeper perspective, the significance of cooperation is even more profound. Morgan has always been the king of Wall Street, and Wall Street is the center of world finance. When Wall Street shakes, there will be a financial tsunami in the world financial market, as can be seen in the financial crisis in 2008. In Xia Yu''s plan, the business empire he wants to build, finance is an indispensable pole, and must be the top priority. In order to compete with giants like Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other giants in the world and become one of the world''s financial kings, Xia Yu must first stabilize Xiangjiang''s basic market. Then set a small goal first to become the king of investment banks in Hong Kong! To achieve this goal, it is necessary to require Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. to cooperate with various banks, and to be able to use the resources of each bank to accelerate its own development. So in the back, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. cannot just cooperate with the brother Guangan Bank for its own development. It must cooperate with other banks. This is a doomed thing! If Jiuding Securities wants to become an Optimus Prime, Xia Yu¡¯s enterprise can only be its backing, to ensure that it will not go bankrupt, and if it wants to truly grow, it can only work hard outside and step on the peers. The corpse reached the pinnacle of the world. There is no corpse mountain and blood sea under the throne of a king! And now, it''s just that Heung Kong Bank of China seizes the opportunity to get ahead of other banks, take the first step, eat the first bite of crabs, and get the most benefit! Xiangjiang Bank of China, as the facade of the mainland, and considering the longer-term future, let Xiangjiang Bank of China eat a big bite of meat, and Xia Yu will only get more! Chapter 374: Lee family "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your help!" When John Keswick was sent out of the door by Li Yao and Li Long, Old John stopped and shook hands with Li Yao and his son again, thanking him sincerely. "Mr. John, you are too polite. It is right to help each other!" Li Yao smiled and said peacefully. "Haha!" Old John laughed and looked at Li Yao, everything is silent. At their age, everyone is an old fox, and many things don¡¯t need to be so explicit. And they all understand that, no matter how good it is, it is better to do it well. Whether it is reliable or not depends on whether it can help at a critical time. During the negotiation, Old John had already agreed to Li Yao''s terms, and naturally he would not break his promise. Li Yao was also very relieved. "It''s getting late, Mr. Li, I want to return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible, see you next time!" "See you next time! Good luck!" Old John waved goodbye to Li Yao and his son, got in the car and went to the hotel where he was staying. On the window of a high-rise room of a hotel in the distance, a man opened the curtain by one corner and set up a telescope to watch the scene of Li Yao and his son sending off John Keswick enthusiastically. After John Keswick left, his face was a bit heavy, he immediately packed the binoculars, and other things, left the hotel, and returned to the company premises. This person is an employee of the Singapore branch of Jiuding Newspaper. After receiving the task from the head office, he closely followed the whereabouts of Old John. Now he has discovered important news. The company arranged for many people to follow up, and he was lucky, and he was in charge of this location. As long as he reported the news, the company would definitely not lose his reward! Let me say that after Li Yao and his son watched Old John leave, the father and son returned to the previous meeting room. After sitting face to face, Li Long poured a cup of hot tea for his father Li Yao and brought it to him respectfully. "Dad, I didn''t expect the Jardine Foundation to be forced to such an extent, that Xia Yu is so powerful?" Li Long asked in a strange way. Born into a family like them, Li Long was trained by Li Yaoquan since he was a child, whether it is political or commercial, and even military. Of course, Li Long knows a lot about the Jardine Consortium of the Far East First Consortium. He has seen a lot of information about the Jardine Consortium in the Singapore Archives. But it was this one of the largest consortium in the Far East that was forced into such a situation. The old patriarch who retreated behind the scenes actually went out in person, and the purpose turned out to be the shares in the Singapore Temasek Investment Company. It was Xia Yu, a newly-rising young rich man from Xiangjiang who caused all this. Thinking of Xia Yu''s age, and thinking of his legendary deeds of starting from scratch, Li Long subconsciously compared himself with himself, and couldn''t help but smile slightly. People are more angry than people! He is at Xia Yu''s age, but he is still studying! Li Yao''s eyes were a little blurred, he was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "This Xia Yu is indeed very powerful. Among his peers, there is no one who is better than him, Tianzong wizard!" "Then father, Jiuding Securities is still negotiating, and we also want to take the stock. We have sold the stock to the Keswick family. Jiuding Securities should fail the action? After all, plus the stock we sold, Kaiser The Ke family has at least 44% of the equity, which is very close to the absolute holding line!" "Now that we are doing this, it can be said to have broken Jiuding Securities. It will also affect the situation of the entire Heung Kong Chinese and British capital. Will it have any bad effects?" Li Long thought for a while, then asked suddenly, not without worry. Singapore is, after all, a country dominated by Chinese. The economy and life are controlled by Chinese capital, and it is closely related to the Chinese family of Hong Kong. For example, the Guo family, Qiu family, Li family, Huang family and so on in Singapore now have a very close relationship with either the main family or the branch in Xiangjiang. In addition, Xia Yu''s influence in Singapore is also increasing day by day. For example, the two largest newspapers in Singapore were acquired by Jiuding Newspapers. The shares of Jiuding Daily and Fengyun Daily in Singapore are also increasing, as well as their influence. With the growing "Economic Weekly", it can be said that Jiuding Newspaper Company has occupied an absolute monopoly in the Singapore paper media industry and has a strong influence on Singapore''s public opinion. At this juncture that has evolved into a tentative attack by Chinese capital against British capital with Xia Yu as the forward, the Lee family, as Singapore¡¯s overlord, not only did not help Xia Yu, who is also a Chinese, but helped the Keswick family in a disguised form. With Xia Yu''s knife, the impact will never be simple. Even if the Li family is in charge of a country¡¯s government, they still have to take care of certain things. The concerns of his son Li Long have long been considered by Li Yao. After Old John called, he immediately sent someone to report all the situation to him. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to sell the Jardine consortium. Old John also came prepared. After some negotiations, Li Yao got more things. Cooperation with the Jardine consortium has more advantages than disadvantages, so of course he agreed. Even if the stock is sold to the Keswick family, it will affect the big Chinese family and Xia Yu in Hong Kong. He doesn''t care anymore. The supremacy of interests is the essence of the market, and no one can clearly blame him! Even if you have opinions, you can only hide them in your heart. If Xia Yu is wise, he can only assume that nothing has happened. Otherwise, with Xia Yu¡¯s current strength, even if he monopolizes Singapore¡¯s paper media industry, if Li Yao is ruthless regardless of the impact, he can still cause Xia Yu to cause great trouble. In any case, even if Singapore is a capitalist country, the government is easily constrained by capital, but the Li family still dominates Singapore¡¯s political circles and occupy the commanding heights! "Don''t worry about the good and bad influences. The most important thing is to develop ourselves well. If the Li family is strong and Singapore is strong, it will only have a good effect." Li Yao said lightly. Li Long was taken aback After thinking for a moment, he nodded heavily and said: "Dad, I understand!" Strength is everything, only the weak will consider the influence! "Well, just understand!" Li Yao nodded slightly. "School is about to start, when do you plan to leave?" The topic came to an end, and Li Yao asked with concern with a kind smile. "Dad, I am going to leave the day after tomorrow, go some time in advance, and adapt to the environment around the school. Li Long said softly. "Well, you have a plan. This study is very important to you. You must study hard. After you return, I will arrange for you to work in the Armed Forces Department. Don''t let me down!" Li Yao exhorted. "I will not let you down!" Li Long promised, nodding his head. This time, Li Long will go to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, to participate in military courses related to army command and staff. This is the route that Li Yao planned for him from the beginning, in order to let Li Long improve himself so as to take over his class in the future. According to the historical process, it is indeed as planned by Li Yao. After Li Long returned from his studies, he served as Chief of Staff and Director of Joint Operations and Planning of the Singapore Armed Forces. He was promoted to Brigadier General in June 1984. In September of the same year, he resigned from the military and became the Secretary of Defense. Afterwards, according to the plan, he continued to develop in the political and military sectors until he finally became the third prime minister of Singapore. The Lee family firmly controlled the political, military and business sectors in Singapore. All of this is inseparable from Li Yao''s conspiracy! Chapter 375: Target Goldman Sachs Besides, after John Keswick returned to his residence, he saw his eldest son Henry waiting there. When seeing his father''s expression relaxed, Henry Keswick couldn''t help showing an expectant smile and asked: "Father, did you succeed?" "Well, Li Yao agreed! Now we can arrange for someone to sign the contract!" Old John sat down and said, his tone was equally relaxed and cheerful. "It''s great. With the shares in Temasek Holdings, plus our original shares, we have 44.19% equity! It should exceed the Galaxy Fund by more than 10%." Henry Keswick said with a smile, letting go of a heart that had been hanging for many days. Old John also smiled when he heard this data. The absolute holding line in the bureau is less than 6%, which is much safer than the absolute holding line which is more than ten percent worse. "Then father, after we take the stock, should we announce the news to the public?" Henry Keswick asked. Old John smiled, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t make public announcements. Now that it¡¯s this level, it doesn¡¯t matter whether the stock price is suppressed or not. The important thing is to complete the absolute holding first, and then give them a fatal blow.¡± "I have already negotiated with Li Yao. After we take the equity, Temasek will continue to negotiate with Jiuding Securities to confuse them." Henry Keswick heard the words, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement. He will not forget that Xia Yu wants to seize control of the Jardine Machine Group from them. If the equity is exposed, two things may happen. either scared Xia Yu back and attacked the estimate, or forced Xia Yu to be completely crazy and grab stocks at all costs. If it is the second possibility, it will be greatly disadvantaged for them. So to be on the safe side, it is better to temporarily hide in a dark place, the enemy will show the darkness, take the initiative, and finally launch a fatal blow to completely repel the invader Xia Yu. At that time, the situation will reverse, and it will be much more convenient to clean up Xia Yu! ¡­¡­ Old John and his son thought so well, but they didn¡¯t know that Xia Yu already knew that they had taken the stake in Temasek Holdings. After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu saw Wang Qi''s inquiring eyes and said lightly: "Depending on the situation, the shares in Temasek Holdings have been taken by the Keswick family." Despite having a hunch, Wang Qi''s heart sank unconsciously after hearing the news from the boss. This is bad news, and it has wiped out their good mood for taking the shares of Xiangjiang Bank of China. After all, they only took 2.54% of the total share capital when they took the shares in HeungKong Bank of China. But the Keswick family won 5.24%, more than twice the amount they won. In this way, the gap between the two is even wider! It is likely to have an adverse effect on the plan! "Boss, do we think of a way to get a shareholder?" Wang Qi asked in a voice. Xia Yu condensed his eyebrows slightly, and his brain turned frantically. Thinking in another way, after taking the equity in Temasek Holdings, the Keswick family will definitely breathe a sigh of relief. This is not what Xia Yu wants to see. If the Keswick family is not in a hurry, how can they be forced to buy the equity in his hands? Even if Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others are about to act soon, the Galaxy Fund does not threaten the Keswick family enough, and it may experience twists and turns to achieve its goals. This is definitely not good! The Keswick family must be forced to put the preservation of the Jardine Machine Group first, then the Keswick family must be threatened enough! "Then take another shareholder!" Xia Yu''s eyes became sharp, and he said solemnly. Wang Qi got a shock and blurted out: "Boss, which one shall we take?" There are still four difficult shareholders, namely Cummins Inc., which holds 6.37% of shares, Nomura Securities, which holds 4.99% of shares, Daiwa Securities, which holds 2.76%, and Goldman Sachs Group, which holds 2.49%. These four companies are all rocks in the pit! At no cost, they can¡¯t afford the stock in their hands! Wang Qi has a deep understanding of this after several days of negotiations! Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, meditated for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Qi scorchingly, and said: "Take Goldman Sachs!" "Goldman Sachs?" Wang Qi was taken aback, and was surprised that his boss would even target Goldman Sachs, which has the least shares. But if you can win Goldman Sachs, the gap with the Keswick family can return to the same starting line. "When the time comes, you will accompany me, I can take it down, we only need to..." Xia Yu told Wang Qi about his plan. Wang Qi''s eyes were getting brighter and brighter. After listening to it, he couldn''t help but admire: "Boss, according to your plan, it is really possible to win the equity of Goldman Sachs. I can think of it, it''s amazing!" Xia Yu smiled faintly, and calmly accepted Wang Qi''s flattery. ¡­¡­ "Mr. James, hello!" "Hello gentlemen!" "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, hello! Welcome to you!" In the lobby of the Hong Kong branch of the Goldman Sachs Group, Xia Yu took Wang Qi and Li Wuming to greet each other with the senior executives of the Goldman Sachs Group headed by James Richard. "Please come in!" After the greeting, Xia Yu and others followed James Richard and others upstairs to the small conference room. This conference room, in addition to being used for high-level meetings of Goldman Sachs, has another function as a temporary reception hall for important people. UU Reading Obviously, in the eyes of James and other Goldman Sachs management, Xia Yu is a heavyweight. After sitting to each other, Xia Yu and Wang Qi sat on the left, and James Richard and other three Goldman Sachs executives sat on the right. The two people were facing each other, clearly distinguished, just convenient for conversation. While Xia Yu was looking at James Richard and others, James Richard was also observing Xia Yu and Wang Qi, of course, the focus was on Xia Yu. James Richard is placed in the entire Goldman Sachs Group in the United States and can only barely be regarded as a high-level person, but in Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia, it is indeed a proper branch leader. Limited by the development status of Southeast Asia, the Goldman Sachs Group pays less attention to it. Therefore, the entire Southeast Asia region has set up a branch, located on Hong Kong Island, responsible for the affairs of the entire Southeast Asia. And James Richard, the general manager of the branch, has a very high degree of freedom. As long as he does not involve a large amount of investment, he can directly make a decision. Just like now, for the 2.49% equity of the Yihe Machinery Group that Xia Yu came to think, James Richard can also sell or not sell on the spot! What''s more, it was James Richard who decided not to sell the shares and wanted to take a bite of his idea. "Mr. James, coming this time, I have a business I want to cooperate with you." Xia Yu spoke first. James Richard smiled and pretended not to know what was going on. He smiled in a respectful gesture and said expectantly: "Mr. Xia, this is the honor of our company. I don''t know what kind of cooperation is it? " Chapter 376: Goldman Sachs was sold and had to help Xia Yu count the money (2 "Mr. James, your company''s strength in corporate mergers and acquisitions is among the best. I heard that as long as your company handles the acquisition business, it will almost never fail." When Xia Yu''s flattering words were uttered, James Richard was really taken aback. Xia Yu played his cards completely unreasonably, completely different from what he thought! But without letting James Richard continue to wonder, Xia Yu paused for a few seconds before continuing. "So this time I came here especially because I wanted to entrust your company to help me buy some stocks!" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at James Richard with a smile. Upon hearing this, James Richard knew in his heart and knew what Xia Yu wanted to do. "Mr. Xia, are you buying shares of Jardine Machinery Group?" Although he had already guessed, James Richard asked solemnly. "Yes, I would like to entrust your company to help me purchase the shares of the Jardine Matheson Group from companies such as Cummins, Nomura Securities, and Daiwa Securities." Xia Yu nodded slightly, said affirmatively, and looked at James Richard with scorching eyes. James Richard''s heart beats and his spirits rise instantly. After all, according to the requirements that Xia Yu has already stated, at least a transaction of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars is involved. Such a transaction is already a heavy transaction for the Hong Kong branch of Goldman Sachs Group. According to the normal commission, there are also tens of millions of profits. Can James Richard ignore it? Customer is god! Xia Yu throws such a big cake, James Richard¡¯s attitude instantly becomes enthusiastic. "Mr. Xia, thank you very much for your trust in our company. We have a certain degree of confidence in this business, but I don''t know what detailed requirements you have?" James Richard asked expectantly. Yuer got the bait! Xia Yu smiled in his heart. However, he did not answer his question as James Richard expected. Instead, he made a look of enlightenment and asked: "Mr. James, I just remembered it. It seems that your company also has a part of Yihe. Machine Group''s stock?" Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s somewhat exaggerated acting skills and hearing his words, James Richard¡¯s smile gradually reduced and returned to his shrewd look. After a few seconds of looking at Xia Yu, he nodded slightly and said: "I remember our company is Some stocks." Speaking of this, James Richard stopped talking, waiting for Xia Yu to speak. It''s just that he also began to think about whether to sell the stock to Xia Yu. In fact, after Xia Yu spoke, James Richard knew that what Xia Yu threw in front of him was the bait, and it was also a condition, otherwise he wouldn''t stop talking while talking. Whether the entrusted acquisition of the business can follow, the key depends on whether their stocks are willing to sell to Xia Yu. If it is sold, then the flatbread thrown by Xia Yu will naturally belong to them. If they hold the stock and don''t sell it, then this drooling heavy business will slip away from him. James Richard originally planned to continue to hold stocks, but obviously now he has to make a choice! The eyes met with the high-levels on the left and right sides. The two high-levels next to him slightly nodded and expressed their attitude. James Richard''s eyes flashed and he made a decision in his heart. Look at the price, as long as the price is right, combined with the subsequent pie, as long as the overall benefit is greater, it can still be sold! "Mr. James, I want to buy the shares of Jardine Machinery Group in your company. I don''t know what conditions your company has?" Xia Yu asked straight into the subject, speaking very blatantly, without covering up. After finishing speaking, Xia Yu looked at James Richard quietly, waiting for his reply. James Richard said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Xia, I can''t do this alone. We need to discuss it, please wait!" After finishing speaking, James Richard stood up and walked outside, and the other two executives also left. "Please! Waiting for your good news!" Xia Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking, and said with a smile. Then, they saw James Richard leaving the small meeting room. "Boss, it looks like it should be fine." Wang Qi, who has been silent all the time, couldn''t help but said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled faintly, nodded slightly and said, "If I were them, I would sell it!" Xia Yu and others were not allowed to wait for a long time. After a while, the door of the small conference room opened again, and the three James Richards walked in again. "Mr. Xia, the shares of Jardine Machinery Group can be sold to you." Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled a little to express his gratitude, and then quietly listened to the next conditions. "But you also know that the Jardine Machinery Group''s share price still has a lot of room to rise, and you can''t let us lose out, so we hope the price is 110 Hong Kong dollars per share!" James Richard said calmly, hearing this price, Xia Yu couldn''t help but narrow his eyes. James Richard is really a lion! On Friday, the closing price of Jardine Machinery Group was only 78 Hong Kong dollars per share, and now he actually bid 110 Hong Kong dollars, a premium of 41%! The price is fierce! Without Xia Yu speaking, Wang Qi knew that he was going to be a black face and sing double reeds with the boss. He said coldly and without hesitation: "Mr. James, the price is too high, we are not taken advantage of!" James Richard still smiled without embarrassment. Instead, he shrugged and said softly: "Mr. Wang, this price is determined after discussion by our company. It is the will of our entire company. In fact, I also think It''s cheaper, but I''m really sorry, you can''t let us lose, right?" James Richard is not bad for his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, he easily pushed away the pressure, trying to block Wang Qi and Xia Yu''s bargaining. But such a high price is absolutely impossible for Xia Yu to accept. So Wang Qi continued to retort: ??"Mr. James, at this price, we can take the stocks of other companies. Presumably Cummins and Nomura Securities are also willing to sell. We don¡¯t need to buy the stocks in your hands. Business is no longer needed." Wang Qi also used a killer to remind James Richard by acquiring business. The price of 110 Hong Kong dollars per share is really not necessarily able to win the shares of other companies, but if Wang Qi says that, James Richard has no way to refute it. Can he prove it? ¡­¡­ After a fierce battle, the stock price was finally negotiated, from 110 Hong Kong dollars per share to 95 Hong Kong dollars per share, a premium of 21.7%. But if you agree to this price, Goldman Sachs is also conditional! Xia Yu will use the binding regulations, and of course James Richard will use it too! That is, the shares of the Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Goldman Sachs can also be sold to Xia Yu, but Xia Yu must also hand over the entrusted acquisition business to Goldman Sachs and sign an agreement at the same time. "Mr. James, first of all thank your company for your help, then next, let''s talk about the commissioned acquisition." Xia Yu first thanked him, and then mentioned the heavy acquisition business that James Richard was thinking about. "Mr. James, I am willing to offer 120 Hong Kong dollars to entrust your company to purchase the shares of Jardine Matheson Group!" Xia Yu smiled and threw a blockbuster. James Richard was shocked, and then his face was happy. He never thought that what he had just squeezed the price was so generous and gave such a high purchase price! He is already mentally prepared to continue negotiations with Xia Yu, but now the price has completely exceeded his psychological expectations, and there is no need to talk about it! The fixed purchase price of 120 Hong Kong dollars per share! completely exceeded the 50% premium! This means that their operational profit margin is 42 Hong Kong dollars! If the price they acquired is lower, they sell it to Xia Yu at a price of 120 Hong Kong dollars per share, the higher the profit they will get! Including the stocks in Cummins, Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities, the theoretical maximum profit is 270 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, this profit limit is the case when Goldman Sachs bought the stock at a price of 78 Hong Kong dollars. If the price of the stock that Goldman Sachs bought from them is higher, the intermediate profit Goldman Sachs will get is lower! How much profit you can get depends on the ability of Goldman Sachs! "Mr. Xia, we took this business!" James Richard said without hesitation, as if afraid of Xia Yu going back. Who knows, just as James Richard was smiling, Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. James, don''t worry, we are also qualified for such a high price!" James Richard narrowed his smile, looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said, "Please speak!" Xia Yu still has the conditions, but James Richard is more at ease. He is like Xia Yu! "Our purpose in acquiring the shares of Jardine Machinery Group is to complete the acquisition and seize control from Jardine Holdings." Xia Yu said slowly, and James Richard nodded in agreement. is indeed the truth, which he cannot refute. "Your company also knows that Jardines Holdings is now the largest shareholder with a very high shareholding and is very close to the absolute holding line. If Jardines takes the lead in completing absolute holdings, our acquisition will fail." "So this means that we have to complete the absolute holding of Jardine Machinery Group before Jardine Holdings." "If our acquisition fails, then the entrusted acquisition agreement will be terminated directly!" Xia Yu spoke plainly, but James Richard nodded solemnly, apparently agreeing with Xia Yu''s conditions. He subconsciously believes that this is Xia Yu urging Goldman Sachs to help acquire the stock as soon as possible. But from the bottom of his heart, he also wants to help Xia Yu complete the acquisition as soon as possible. Because the longer the delay, the acquisition will fail and the agreement will be abandoned, the stock price will be higher, and the intermediate profit Goldman Sachs can obtain will be lower. "Mr. Xia, rest assured, we will do our best to help you buy stocks." James Richard promised. "That''s good!" Xia Yu said with a smile. After the negotiations are settled, the next step is to sign the agreement. Before long, two different agreements were drawn up and signed. 94.62 million Hong Kong dollars bought 2.49% of the shares of Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Goldman Sachs, and went directly to the bank to clear the money. "Happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" Xia Yu shook hands with James Richard and congratulated each other. "Mr. James, I will trouble you to worry about it next!" Xia Yu reminded again. "Mr. Xia, please rest assured, we will do our best!" James Richard once again solemnly promised. "Looking forward to your good news!" After that, Xia Yu made it easy for James Richard to say goodbye, and took Wang Qi into the car and left. "Boss, you''re so amazing. Turn James Richard around." In the car, Wang Qi said admiringly. "Haha, you cooperated very well, and they didn''t let them find the flaw." Xia Yu said with a smile. Xia Yu¡¯s entrusted acquisition agreement was never intended to make it successful from beginning to end. The purpose of this agreement was to lure Goldman Sachs into the bait, let Goldman Sachs spit out the stocks that he held tightly, and at the same time act as a **** for him. Although outsiders always thought that Xia Yu wanted to **** the Yihe Machine Group, Xia Yu did not deceive others and deceive himself into it. He always kept in mind that he just wanted to snipe a fortune and at the same time replace 30% of the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group''s shares in the Jardine Consortium. He has received news that the nine big Chinese are strong, and a few have completed the preliminary preparations, and the remaining few will soon be completed. This means that collective action is about to take place. By then, the sky will fall apart, and the Jardine consortium will definitely panic. And Goldman Sachs would never expect that they would have less than two days left. In these two days, even with the strength of the Goldman Sachs Group, it is impossible to take down the three hard bones of Cummins and the two securities companies of the island country. As long as Xia Yu secretly completes the exchange with the Keswick family, the entrusted acquisition agreement with Goldman Sachs will automatically terminate, and the 120 Hong Kong dollars he promised will become a flower in the mirror. If Goldman Sachs suddenly gets a part of the stock, Xia Yu will also fulfill the agreement, answering that the stock price of 120 Hong Kong dollars will be used to buy it, and then it will be sold to the Keswick family? Goldman Sachs couldn¡¯t sell the shares to the Keswick family for 120 Hong Kong dollars If Xia Yu bid 120 Hong Kong dollars, if the Keswick family did not want to lose the Jardine Machine Group, they had to hold their noses to buy Come down! Of course, if Goldman Sachs fails to buy any shares in the end, Xia Yu will also offer them 5 million Hong Kong dollars for hard work. James Richard has nothing to say, but he has to thank Xia Yu for his generosity. After all, the agreement signed between Xia Yu and Goldman Sachs did not mention that Xia Yu was not allowed to sell stocks to the Keswick family. This loophole was completely ignored by James Richard and others subconsciously. After all, they were completely deceived by Xia Yu, thinking that he really wanted to acquire the Jardine Machine Group. Even if this was not proposed, the 5 million that Xia Yu prepared to pay after the failed acquisition was taken from Goldman Sachs. Adding this 5 million to it, it is equivalent to 100 Hong Kong dollars per share to buy Goldman Sachs Jardine Machine Group''s stock. If there is no entrusted purchase agreement, Goldman Sachs would definitely not be willing to sell the shares of Jardine Machine Group to Xia Yu at a price of 100 Hong Kong dollars per share. But now, Goldman Sachs not only sold the stock at a stock price of 95 Hong Kong dollars, but also blended into the Jardine Machinery Group¡¯s stock competition in a third-party way to stir up the muddy water and make Kai The Serk family could not take the shares of Cummins and other three shareholders. can be said to be helping Xia Yu work, delaying time for Xia Yu and preventing the Keswick family from completing absolute control. Looking at it this way, Xia Yu went to the Goldman Sachs Group, and he was full of routines. He sold Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs was helping him count the money, and he had to thank him for his humanity! Chapter 377: Little Devils Abacus "Ishikawa-kun!" "Takahashi-kun!" "Happy meeting!" In a VIP reception room, Keisuke Takahashi, head of Nomura Securities'' Xiangjiang branch, and Taro Ishikawa, head of Yamato Securities'' Xiangjiang branch, shook hands and exchanged greetings. After the ¡¡¡¡ courtesy, they took their seats one after another. As the host, Keisuke Takahashi picked up a pot of tea, scooped a spoonful into a purple clay pot, and began to make tea. People engaged in finance always have other hobbies to relax themselves, such as dancing, painting, golf, DJing, etc., and the level of hobbies of many big guys is even comparable to that of professionals. Takahashi Keisuke doesn''t like the others. He only likes to study the tea ceremony. Over the decades, the craftsmanship of making tea with one hand has reached the point of perfection. The movement of clouds and flowing water is very beautiful, which makes Ishikawa Taro amazed. "Ishikawa-kun, please use tea!" Keisuke Takahashi poured a cup of amber tea and brought it to Ishikawa Taro, and said solemnly. "Thank you!" Ishikawa Taro took a deep breath, and then tasted it. "Good tea!" "Takahashi-kun''s tea ceremony has reached its peak, which is admirable!" Ishikawa Taro made an expression of enjoyment, exhaled a breath of heat, and exclaimed. Keisuke Takahashi smiled, and said modestly: "Ishikawa-kun has passed the award, and his clumsy skills are hard to come by. I have to continue to learn." "Haha, Takahashi-kun is humble..." ¡­¡­ After three rounds of tea, after chatting with each other on an irrelevant topic, the chat finally came to the topic. "Kun Takahashi, Jardine Matheson and Jiuding Securities have come to contact you several times, right?" Ishikawa Taro put down the tea cup gently, and said with a light smile. Keisuke Takahashi smiled faintly, and asked, "How many times have you called you?" "Haha!" The two looked at each other and smiled. "Takahashi-san, the stock in your hands is twice as much as ours. I don''t know what your plans are, so I can work with you. The Chinese and the British are fighting. We will advance and retreat together, and we should be able to get a bigger share. interest." Ishikawa Taro bluntly said. Keisuke Takahashi nodded slightly, agreeing with Ishikawa Taro''s statement. Daiwa Securities Co. owns 2.76% of the Jardine Matheson Group and Nomura Securities owns 4.99% of the shares. However, in the current situation, variables still exist. Although Jiuding Securities is behind, it is not impossible to catch up with Jardine Holdings. . Whether it¡¯s Jardine Holdings or Jiuding Securities, which company will take the stocks of Nomura Securities or Daiwa Securities alone, it¡¯s impossible to determine everything in one fell swoop. But if you take the shares of two securities companies at the same time, you will get a 7.75% stake in one go! For Jardine Holdings, it is almost a win. For Jiuding Securities, it can also be able to tie the gap with Jardine Holdings, posing a fatal threat to Jardine Holdings and making the situation blurred again. Therefore, the influence of Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities'' joint advance and retreat is very large, and it is very important. It can definitely raise the stock price higher and make more profits. The current market value of the Jardine Machine Group is inflated. If there was no battle, Keisuke Takahashi and Taro Ishikawa would have ordered people to clear their positions and withdraw. But now they are in a special battle, and there is obviously room for operation. Of course, they hope to get from the Chinese. Or a layer of oil is shaved off the British! "Ishikawa-kun, the stock price has now been fixed at 7 Hong Kong dollars, and it will definitely rise sharply at the opening next Monday. I don''t know when you think this battle will be the winner? At what price can the stock price rise?" Keisuke Takahashi took a sip of tea, leaned forward slightly, and asked. Taro Ishikawa narrowed his eyebrows and pondered. After a while, he looked at Keisuke Takahashi and said: "The shares of our two companies are tied together to reach 7.75%, which exceeds other shareholders. But if the shares of Cummins and Temasek are blocked by Jardine If the holding is won, the winner can be directly divided. But as far as I know, Cummins still does not plan to sell stocks, but the situation of Temasek is unclear. John Keswick of Jardines went to Singapore in person, and it is very likely that he would take it. So there is not much time left for us. I think the stock price should still rise to at least 0 Hong Kong dollars. If it exceeds 0 Hong Kong dollars, it is not safe. " After speaking, Ishikawa Taro looked at Keisuke Takahashi quietly, wanting to hear his point of view. Keisuke Takahashi thought for a moment, and said, "0 HKD is a bit conservative. I think 5-20 HKD is also very possible. If it continues to drag, the price may be higher." Keisuke Takahashi believes that the stock price will be higher because he is more confident. After all, Nomura Securities holds 4.99% of the equity, and Nomura Securities is stronger than Yamato Securities. He has an understanding and research on this stock market battle. Is also more in-depth and thorough. Ishikawa Taro thought carefully and nodded slightly: "Takahashi-san, although our judgment seems to be different, we all think that it can rise to more than 0 Hong Kong dollars. If we join together and release the news, it will cost 5 Hong Kong dollars. Absolutely no problem." "Not bad!" Keisuke Takahashi agreed. "That way, let''s first..." ¡­¡­ After some consultations, Keisuke Takahashi and Taro Ishikawa reached an agreement that they will work together to advance and retreat together and strike a deal with Jardine Holdings or Jiuding Securities to ensure the greatest benefit. The conspiracy of the two little devils was just decided, but it was disrupted the next day. Because Goldman Sachs sent someone to contact them inserted into the equity acquisition, and also wanted to buy the shares of Jardine Machine Group in their hands. The intervention of the Goldman Sachs Group caught Keisuke Takahashi and Taro Ishikawa by surprise, and instantly felt that the ownership of the Jardine Machine Group would be more variable. However, for Jardine Holdings and Jiuding Securities, Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities can treat them normally, and try to coerce them to obtain more profits. But for the Goldman Sachs Group from their American father, they had to be cautious. In this era, small island countries have not yet exploded into the state of buying, buying and buying all over the world, and their national self-confidence has not yet burst. Therefore, both the people and the government are in awe of the American father who is holding their chain. Goldman Sachs, as a big bull on Wall Street, has a profound influence on American finance. It is not difficult to influence the US government to oppress them. But they are absolutely unwilling to let them give up the huge profits they are about to get. Unless it is said that Goldman Sachs is willing to buy their stock at a high price. But the reality is obviously impossible. Goldman Sachs still wants to press the price to death, wanting to use other means to coerce or take the stock from the two companies in the way of profit exchange. Both sides have an abacus, and the interests involved are too great. As a result, Keisuke Takahashi and Ishikawa Taro can only use the tactic of dragging, first dragging Goldman Sachs, and then continuing to conspiracy secretly. But no matter how you collude, the goal will remain the same, that is, to maximize the benefits. People die for money and birds die for food, even if Goldman Sachs is very embarrassed, but if you want them to bow their heads easily, there is no door! Chapter 378: The sword is out of its sheath and will behead the enemy On Sunday night, in Bao Yugang''s mansion. The big Chinese guys who got together a few days ago were all here again, talking and laughing one by one. They seemed to be in a good mood. Obviously their progress was gratifying. When Xia Yu arrived, the other nine people were already there, and he quickly said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, something happened suddenly. I''m late, so everyone has been waiting!" "Haha, it''s not too late, we just arrived too!" Li Jiacheng said with a smile. "That''s right!" ¡­¡­ Other people also followed, and there was nothing wrong with him. Xia Yu''s career was still on the rise, and during this period of time there were great battles, and things were normal. Unconsciously, everyone has treated Xia Yu as equals. After Xia Yu took the seat, Bao Yugang, who was the host, said: "Everyone is here, so don''t waste time, talk about your progress, and then discuss how to act." "Let me come first, I have already got 3% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd., and the funds are ready." "Awesome, your progress is much better than me. I took a lot of trouble to win 30% of the equity of Jardine Cement Company, and the funds are ready!" Huo Yingdong, who was sitting on Bao Yugang''s left side, said in a tone of admiration, and at the same time said his progress. The Jardine Cement Company targeted by Huo Yingdong is one of the top three cement manufacturing companies in Hong Kong. The cement produced is supplied to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Because it is a cement company, it occupies a large area. The Jardine Cement Company relies on the parent company¡¯s advantage and owns many The land has great hidden value. "I already¡­¡­" After Huo Yingdong finished speaking, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Wang Dehui, etc. successively stated their preparations. After the round, everyone''s faces were full of smiles, and their expressions were much more relaxed. Because each of the bigwigs is real, and they have mobilized contacts to win at least 20% of their respective goals, they can definitely pose a huge threat to the Jardine consortium. "Now that we are ready, let''s discuss when is the best time to start." Hearing this, everyone looked at Xia Yu subconsciously. After all, this action was led by Xia Yu. To achieve the best results, you must rely on Xia Yu¡¯s battle for the Jardine Machine Group. . "Xia Sheng, do you have any ideas? We are subject to your progress." Bao Yugang said solemnly. "Thank you for your trust!" "Then let me talk about my situation first." "I have taken the shares in HeungKong Bank of China and Goldman Sachs Group, and now I own 33.69% of the shares in Jardine Matheson Group." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Feng Jingxi immediately felt and proclaimed: "Xia Sheng, great, I have finished the Bank of China and Goldman Sachs so soon!" "Luck, luck!" Xia Yu smiled modestly. Feng Jingxi shook his head and smiled: "Goldman Sachs can''t do it with luck." Xia Yu smiled, stopped chatting with Feng Jingxi, and continued: ¡°But I got news that Jardine Holdings has taken the equity in Temasek Holdings, so the gap between us is the same as before.¡± As soon as these words came out, all the big Chinese guys who were still in a good mood reduced their smiles. They were obviously aware of the risks involved and the possible adverse effects on this big action. Without worrying everyone, Xia Yu smiled and said confidently: "But don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s all within my calculations. The Keswick family can¡¯t complete the absolute holding in a short time, even if the absolute control is completed by then. Controlling, then the Keswick family will be even more unlucky." When Xia Yu said this, everyone was curious. It seemed that Xia Yu had any calculations waiting for the Yihe Foundation. As soon as they wanted to ask, they heard Xia Yu continue to say: "Here let me sell a pass. It will be clear in two or three days at most." What Xia Yu said, they could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and smiled kindly at Xia Yu without questioning. "Let''s talk about our actions again." "Tomorrow is Monday. After two days of rest and reorganization, the Jardine consortium must have made some adjustments. Therefore, tomorrow¡¯s competition for the Jardine Machinery Group will definitely be very anxious, and the time has passed for a long time. It is inevitable that you will leak the purchase of stocks. . So I think that our action should be sooner rather than later, and we should agree to the action tomorrow morning and be caught off guard by directly hitting the Jardine Consortium. The effect must be good under the front and back attack! " "What do you think?" Talking, Xia Yu glanced across the faces of everyone, waiting for their opinions. "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Action tomorrow morning, I have no opinion." Li Jiacheng smiled at Xia Yu and said first. "I have no problem, tomorrow morning!" "A surprise for Old John on Monday, I am looking forward to it!" ¡­¡­ Everyone said one after another, none of them had any opinions. At least it seems that the situation is under control, of course it must be grasped. "Okay, I will act tomorrow morning. I will help you to scan the goods. In the afternoon, you will not be able to hide it. How about holding a press conference at three o''clock? Then everyone will connect and let the TV station broadcast the conference to enhance public opinion. influences." Xia Yu said again. Although from Xia Yu''s attitude, it is best for him to hold a press conference tomorrow as soon as the market opens, because in this case, the target stock price targeted by everyone will soar, and the Keswick family will definitely panic. But it¡¯s not good to hold a press conference too early, because in this case, the stock price will definitely rise accordingly. Every big Chinese can¡¯t buy some stocks from the story at a low price, which will increase the difficulty of buying stocks. Xia Yu can''t be too selfish, plus it''s not too late for a few hours, just take care of everyone''s interests. In the afternoon, a press conference was held, the purpose of which was to explode public opinion and exert unprecedented pressure on the Keswick family. Because after the stock market in the morning, the stock prices of so many companies are abnormal, the Jardine consortium, which has been shocked for a long time, will absolutely be vigilant and go all-out to investigate the problem. Even if there is no press conference in the afternoon, it is enough for them to find out the problem. So we will hold a press conference again in the afternoon to build momentum! Other people Xia Yu didn''t know, but he would definitely let Huang Xizhao arrange someone to come over, and Li''s TV station would definitely broadcast the whole process and try his best to create a general trend of public opinion. Bao Yugang and others thought for a while, and said one after another. "Yes, Xia Sheng is considerate." "Xia Sheng is still good at public opinion matters. Those who are able to work harder, I leave it to you on this matter. We absolutely cooperate!" "I will contact Shao Yifu to try to get TVB to broadcast live." "I will go for that Jiayi, it should be no problem." ¡­¡­ Afterwards, everyone kept discussing and pooling their ideas, and a complete plan implementation process was quickly put out. Checking for deficiencies, making the plan perfect, until no more loopholes were found, and there was no way to reinforce it. "Xia Sheng, Feng Sheng, I will ask you two tomorrow, and we will buy it ourselves, but mainly for the company''s shareholders. As for the stock purchase on the stock market, this is your strength." "Yes, please two! The funds will definitely be transferred to your designated account before nine o''clock tomorrow." "I will handle it!" "Don''t worry, I will try my best to acquire as many stocks as possible for everyone!" "Flag to win!" Finally, everyone replaced the wine with tea, stood up and said in a solemn gesture of oath, and drank it after speaking. After ¡¡¡¡, seeing that it was late, everyone proposed to end the scene, and the second gathering ended successfully. Everyone left Bao¡¯s house with anticipation. See you tomorrow! Chapter 379: Disaster I shot it out on Sunday, so today is Monday. Praise the sun! With the soft golden light falling on the earth, people began their day''s work again. Like ants out of their dens, streets, shopping malls, factories, exchanges...there are bustling people everywhere, and the streets and lanes are full of warm breath. As time passed, the exchange was crowded with stockholders and financial practitioners, holding newspapers in groups, laughing, or discussing. But in any case, the focus is on the battle for the climax of the Jardine Machine Group. You should know that with the closing of the market last Friday, the Jardine Machine Group¡¯s share price has been set at 7 Hong Kong dollars, and the market value of the entire company has risen from 100 million to 320 million. The competition directly pushed the Jardine Machine Group into the top 15 of the Xiangjiang Enterprise Ranking. No, in the latest issue of "Economic Weekly" released this morning, Jardine Machinery Group ranked third on the Hong Kong Enterprise Ranking with a total market value of 320 million Hong Kong dollars! And according to the situation that is still blurred, it is inevitable that the stock price will rise. Maybe after the market opens today, it will be able to rush into the top ten camp of the Hong Kong enterprise list! And because of the contention of the Jardine Machine Group, more and more funds poured into the stock market, which even brought the market up by more than ten points. Securities research reports issued by many financial institutions, including Jiuding Securities Co., have upgraded Jardine Machinery Group¡¯s rating to a recommendation to buy, and the stock price is expected to range from 90 to 20 Hong Kong dollars. the influence is evident! From this point of view, it is about the ownership of a billion-dollar company, so the masses and interested parties do not care. in the end is a "stock god" to stabilize God''s position, strengthen my Chinese morale! Or the British Tushenzhen heroes, suppressing Chinese arrogance? The exciting battle will continue to kick off after two days of stagnation. "Boom!" With the ringing of the bell, everyone''s spirits lifted, their eyes swept over the display board, and they carefully searched for the share price information of the Jardine Machine Group. "It''s up! The price is 4.3 Hong Kong dollars! The opening jumped!" "Hi! Horrible!" "Who made such a cruel move and quoted such a high price?" "It has risen again..." ¡­¡­ As the share price of Jardine Machinery Group fluctuates again, the exchange is full of noise, with exclamation and excitement one after another. The stock price situation was immediately reported to Old John. Old John was not at home at this time, but came directly to the company in charge of the operation. Besides the person in charge of the company, Niu Bijian and his two sons were beside him. Seeing Old John¡¯s face sinking like water, Niu Bijian and others knew that he was in a bad mood, so they kept silent and waited for Old John¡¯s order. "Is anyone selling stocks?" Old John asked when he looked at the operation. "No, it has always been a bidding order, and there is no selling order!" The person in charge of the operation room shook his head decisively. Hearing the words, Old John frowned and looked at the trader who was operating intensively around him. pondered for a moment, he said solemnly: "Stop, don''t bid for money for now!" Everyone was taken aback. Although they didn''t understand Old John''s intention, the person in charge of the operation room still executed the order decisively and ordered the traders to stop. As a result, everyone put aside their work, a little at a loss what to do. Old John ignored them, but said to Niu Bijian and others: "In the current situation, it is impossible to grab money from the stock market. After so many days, investors and institutions have already seen it clearly. They all believe that there is room for the stock price to rise. We are rushing to raise the price. Apart from allowing the stock price to continue to rise, there is no other use. Instead, it will increase the difficulty of buying shares from other shareholders." Hearing this, Niu Bijian, Henry and others nodded together, agreeing with Old John''s statement. "So let''s focus on other major shareholders!" "You continue to observe, if someone sells shares, you will order someone to go in and grab the money, and be on standby at other times!" Old John first said to Niu Bijian, then looked at the person in charge of the operation room and ordered. "Ok!" The person in charge of the operation room nodded and responded. "Niu Bijian, you sent people to focus on Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities. These two securities companies intend to sell shares, but because of the intervention of Goldman Sachs, their asking prices are not low, but in the final analysis, it is still a price problem. If you do, just buy it, don¡¯t delay!" "Now Goldman Sachs has stepped in, with unclear intentions, absolutely can''t take it lightly! Also beware of shares being taken by Jiuding Securities!" Then, Old John told Niu Bijian. "Okay, Chairman!" Niubi nodded firmly and responded calmly. "Cummins stock, I will discuss it myself again." "Henry, Charles, you two brothers keep an eye on other companies, and report to me as soon as there is a situation!" "Okay, father!" After Old John finished the arrangement, everyone dispersed and wanted to seize the time to complete the absolute holding. Two flowers bloom, one on each table! Just before the opening of the stock market, Xia Yu had already assigned tasks to Jiuding Securities. All the traders are in place, eagerly waiting for a big fight. The funds of Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others have long been in Xia Yu''s account, and the funds have been put into the market, the bullet is loaded, and I waited for the bell to ring! "Ready to act!" Looking at his watch, Xia Yu said with a serious face, everyone subconsciously raised their heads and chested out, and stared at the machine in front of them intently. "Boom!" With the ringing of a bell, the ready traders immediately looked for their goals, and a huge amount of funds poured into the stock market in a flash. On the other side of Sun Hung Kai Securities, following Feng Jingxi¡¯s order, a huge amount of funds rushed into the stock market to wipe out other targets. Jiuding Securities and Sun Hung Kai Securities can be said to be the top three Chinese securities companies, both of which are very powerful and influential. At the same time, seven listed companies have been involved. Although the number is a bit larger , the effect is not much different. The outstanding shares of these seven companies were wiped out in an instant, and then the stock prices of the seven companies began to climb, but it was not the kind of upward momentum like a rainbow. Instead, it is the trend of high limit or high fluctuation. This kind of high-tech operation price control method can make stockholders and institutions suffer from gains and losses, and cherish every point of rise. Looking at such stock price fluctuations, many investors who focus on stability and close after a good deal have gone through psychological trade-offs, and most will choose to close their positions after reaching the original expected price. In this way, there have been more sell orders on the stock market. This is exactly what Xia Yu and Feng Jingxi want, and they want this effect! With the passage of time, the share price of Jardine Machinery Group rose from the opening price of HK$4 to HK$90. It broke the 90 mark before the end of the morning. There was a kind of holding back for two days to increase the falling share price. The posture of coming back. As time went by, the stock prices of the seven companies were abnormal, and the stock turnover rate suddenly increased, which made the CEOs of these companies panic. Zhou Sen, the person in charge of the observation room of the Jardine Group, also got the following feedback for the first time. Coming news. When seeing the stock prices of so many companies appear abnormal, a scene that happened before immediately appeared in his mind. It''s just that at that time, only four companies including Maxim Foods Group had abnormal share prices. And this time it was too serious! unexpectedly reached seven! "It''s a disaster! The president must be notified quickly!" Zhou Sen said with an anxious look, got the statistics report and immediately dialed the phone. Chapter 380: Zoom in "what?!" When the stock prices of the seven companies fluctuated abnormally, and news that was suspected of being targeted reached Niu Bijian''s ears, he ignored his original mission and immediately reported to Old John. In this way, the four people who had just been dispersed again gathered together again, but this time the gathering place was no longer the stock operation room, but the observation room of the Jardine Group. In the observation room, Old John and Niu Bijian got together and watched the statistics report in the observation room, while the person in charge Zhou Sen stood in front of them tremblingly, not daring to breathe. He obviously knew that the gloomy old John and Niu Bijian were in a bad mood at this time, for fear of being used as a pump. "Boom!" "Jiuding Securities! Sun Hung Kai Securities!" "Damn it, this time even Sun Hung Kai Securities got involved!" The more I watched, the more angry, the old John''s years of nourishing energy were completely destroyed at this moment, he slapped his palm on the table and made a loud noise, and then said angrily. This action shocked Zhou Sen, Henry and Charles. "Chairman, these companies are all sweeping goods by Sun Hung Kai Securities. Now it is obvious that they are in a group with Jiuding Securities. From this point of view, the situation is more severe than last time!" Niu Bijian''s expression solemnly analyzed. "Ok!" Old John''s chest rises and falls, his nostrils exude air, his eyes flickering and nodding. He also realized that the trouble was coming, and what he was worried about finally happened! The opponents on the bright side have changed from Xia Yu at the beginning to two now. Obviously, the power of the Jardine Consortium has been reduced by Xia Yu by half. It can no longer control those Chinese-owned bigwigs with ghosts. Now Feng Jingxi is the best Jump out first. If it is not suppressed, there will be a second, a third... and more! A little carelessness, the long-awaited situation of wolves eating tigers will really appear! But Old John found with a headache that things were out of control, and it was difficult to suppress Xia Yu and Feng Jingxi! "Chairman, the most important issue now is funding. We didn''t have enough funds to acquire the shares of Jardine Machinery Group at the beginning!" Seeing Old John being silent, Niu Bijian also became anxious and said remindingly. "Yes, father, if you want to keep all the companies, the funds are not enough now, you must raise funds!" Henry Keswick, the elder son on the side, also echoed anxiously. "Father, the market will be closed at noon to adjust. There is still some time to buffer. We need to raise funds quickly." Charles Keswick looked at the time, with a hint of hope in his heart, and reminded his father Old John. Although the market is not closed for a long time at noon, a one-minute buffer time is precious now, so he doesn''t care about it! Old John finally finished thinking, he immediately ordered: "Niu Bijian, immediately send someone to figure out the changes in the equity of these seven companies, Zhou Sen, you are fully cooperating!" "Yes!" Niu Bijian and Zhou Sen responded loudly. "Henry, Charles, and the Jardine Machine Group are for the time being watched by you. I''m going to raise funds." "Good father!" Brothers Henry and Charles responded in unison. At this time, their inner thoughts were surprisingly the same. They no longer intrigue, but tried to save the family''s foundation. ... At noon, Old John and the others didn''t even bother to eat lunch, and acted like burning their ass. It''s a pity that some things are destined after all. Even though the Jardine Consortium is strong, there is a gap between mental arithmetic and unintentional, and it can''t be smoothed out in just a few hours! Although Old John has a strong network, he has raised a large amount of funds in a short time. But after learning what Niu Bijian had found out, his heart sank unceasingly. Because the situation is too serious! Each of the seven companies has lost several major shareholders, changed 20% of its equity, and changed more than 35% of its equity. Each is a fatal threat! He was lucky at the beginning, thinking that the situation of these seven companies was the same as the previous four companies such as Maxim''s Food Group, but they stopped after being sniped. However, depending on the situation now, it is clear that it came directly with the purpose of annexation, which will kill you! With the strength of Jiuding Securities and Sun Hung Kai Securities, it is absolutely impossible to simultaneously annex eight companies including Jardine Matheson. Think about it this way, there are definitely other Chinese tycoons hidden behind this! ... At the end of the morning, despite the Jardine Machine Group''s battle to attract investors'' attention, none of the seven companies are unknown small companies, but the constituent enterprises of the Jardine Consortium. At such a sensitive time node, they are all sensitive companies. Suddenly, the stock price changes abnormally. After all, this news was discovered by people and spread quickly, like a spreading virus, spreading wantonly. Many people have set their sights on these seven companies. And because this action was originally sudden, it was too late to do the concealment work in the early stage, which made the financial institutions with a little energy know who the attacker was sacred after inquiring! "It turned out to be Jiuding Securities Co., when it was robbing Jardine Machinery Group as a big company, it still had enough power to annex other companies, and it was not just one. It really deserves to be a stock **** company, and its strength is powerful!" "Sun Hung Kai Securities also participated. The''stock king'' Feng Jingxi and the''stock god'' Xia Yu joined forces. This is the first time I''ve seen you!" "The Jardine Foundation is in big trouble! Okay! Hahaha..." Many investors who learned the news were excited after being shocked, and even moreover, they stopped eating and stayed at the exchange, wanting to know the latest developments as soon as possible. And many investors who originally held the stocks of these companies regretted it or yelled excitedly, with various mentalities. Before long, the market closed at noon and the stock market opened again. Because the news has spread, the energy institutions already know that they are already gearing up to get a share of the pie. As soon as the stock market opened, huge amounts of money poured into the stock market. As a result, the stock prices of the seven companies soared like a rocket. On the Jardine Machine Group side, despite the lack of the Keswick family¡¯s rush to raise the stock price, the stock price rose very strongly, even because seven other companies were also attacked, which strengthened investors¡¯ confidence in the stock **** Xia Yu. The linkage effect appears! Just as investors cheered and the Jardine consortium was in a hurry, multiple heavy news quickly spread throughout Xiangjiang. Ship King Bao Yu is about to hold a press conference! Li Jiacheng is going to hold a press conference! Zheng Yutong wants to hold a press conference! Li Zhaoji... Guo Desheng... One by one stomping, the Chinese bigwigs who are going to sway in Xiangjiang, these famous bigwigs on the rich list actually hold press conferences. And the most important thing is that the time of the press conference is surprisingly consistent, all at three o''clock in the afternoon! The information contained in this is too huge! Combined with today''s surging stock market, many people subconsciously link the two together in their minds. This association is incredible. If there is a connection, Xiangjiang will really shake the mountain! The people who eat melon are looking forward to itFinancial institutions are waiting and mobilizing people to scrutinize the news. The Jardine consortium is panic. The painful and happy ones belong to the major media! "God, you play with me. In the old days, there was a rare big guy to hold a press conference, but now it''s good, so many at once!" "You guys, too, why bother at the same time? It doesn''t matter if they are set at the same time, and they are all opened separately. Why don''t you drive together?" "There is not enough manpower!" The bosses of major, medium and small media were wailing, and their hearts were full of resentment. Nevertheless, they wailed and wailed, but they did not neglect their actions. They have run the newspaper to the extreme. They have used all the interview machines and manpower that can be used, just to be able to participate in all the press conferences and get the most Valuable first-hand information. In the anticipation of all the people, the time finally came to three o''clock in the afternoon... the most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 381: Wind and cloud Shun Fat Securities, a medium-sized securities company of Xiangjiang, is owned by the Sun family, a small wealthy family in Xiangjiang, and the helm is Sun Fa, the most outstanding young generation of the Sun family. In the past, at three o''clock in the afternoon, it was the busiest time for Shunfa Securities, and the senior management hardly even had time to relax. But today is completely different! Whether it is the CEO Sun Fa or the investment managers and other senior executives, they temporarily put aside their work, gathered together and came to the company''s conference room. In the front of the meeting room, there is a big TV. Everyone is watching the TV screen attentively, for fear of missing a single cent. "coming!" I don''t know who said to himself, and then I saw the picture with Li''s TV station logo turned around and aimed at an outdoor rostrum. Then I saw the awe-inspiring Bao Yugang on the stage, Malaysia walked to the center of the rostrum and took his seat. His son-in-law Wu Guangzheng sat tightly on his left hand side, and some other senior executives of the Global International Group also took their seats. "Welcome friends to participate in the press conference held by our company, thank you for coming!" "Papa..." After Bao Yugang gave his thank-you speech, there was a burst of warm applause. "I know that everyone is very busy, so I don''t want to gossip. Let''s enter the main topic and announce a news to everyone. After that, I will ask questions from reporters. Thank you!" After saying another sentence, Bao Yugang''s expression became very solemn, and he spoke slowly. "I announce that our company already holds 42% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd., and has officially become the largest shareholder!" "Moreover, our company has just launched a takeover offer to Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd.!" "Wow!" As soon as Bao Yugang''s words fell, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone was shocked. Not only the reporters at the scene, but even Sun Fa and others in front of the TV set their eyes wide open. Obviously, this news has had a great impact on them! Could it be said that after the shipowner Bao Yugang acquired the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, he would once again acquire the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd.? Is this determined to go ashore and fly to the sky? "Bao Sheng, when did you prepare to acquire..." "Bao Sheng, what role did the stock **** Xia Yu play in your acquisition?" "Bao Sheng..." After the uproar, the scene was noisy, all reporters held up their microphones, and the contender was the first to interview Bao Yugang. Before Bao Yugang''s press conference was over, the TV screen was switched, and the one who appeared on the screen suddenly became Li Jiacheng. After switching again, Zheng Yutong appeared again. ... Looking at the series of press conferences, the meeting room of Shun Fat Securities was surprisingly quiet, and even a needle could be heard. "Guru!" Suddenly, I don''t know who swallowed. The sound that was not loud at first, but because of the quiet environment at this time, seemed particularly loud. This abrupt sound also broke the silence. "Things are big, a group of big guys are besieging the Jardine Foundation!" President Sun Fa uttered a word, his face was complicated, but his fist was clenched unconsciously, and there was a sense of excitement in his heart. It seems that it is the feeling of blood rising? "For decades, have I ever been such a domineering Chinese? The boss is mighty!" "Yeah, yeah, who would have thought that the Xiangjiang No. 1 consortium would be besieged one day, and its defeat would show up!" Other senior executives immediately rushed to express their feelings, even watching TV, they were full of passion! "President, there are many opportunities. The Jardine Foundation is absolutely overwhelmed. Should we also fish in troubled waters?" At this moment, the investment manager said suddenly. When Sun Fa heard the sound, his eyes condensed immediately, and the others immediately silenced the sound and looked at the president Sun Fa. Indeed, as the investment manager said, Xia Yu and the Jardine Consortium had been competing for the company one after another, and the stock market had already been muddled. Now that the other eight Chinese bigwigs have gone, the already muddy water has become more muddy, and the stock market is full of variables in an instant. Variables mean opportunities and benefits. As long as you keep your eyes open, you have the strength to fight for it. Getting rich overnight is not a dream! His gaze swept across all the high-level faces, and Sun Fa looked at the TV screen subconsciously. At this time, Xia Yu''s figure appeared on the screen, and he suddenly clenched his fists. "He has mastered the financial markets at a young age and has become a famous stock god. His ability is one aspect, but his hard work has played a big role. I''m still young, how can I lose to him? At this time, the opportunity is rare in a lifetime, if you try it, it is definitely possible to make a lot of money! Done it! " After making up his mind, a ruthless color flashed in Sun Fa''s eyes. He stood up abruptly and said decisively: "Everyone is going to take action and look for opportunities. We are going to do a big job. Why do we have to take a bite of meat!" "Yes!" The high-level people sitting there yelled in unison, and they all started to take action under the leadership of Sun Fa. This similar scene not only happened in Shunfa Securities, but also happened in other financial institutions. Those who are engaged in the financial industry are all talents, especially those in charge of a financial institution. They are all elites. Of course, they understand how big the opportunity is this time. Although there are risks, the benefits are much greater than usual. As long as you seize the opportunity, making a fortune is definitely not a problem, they all believe in their own abilities! The press conference of the seven tycoons instantly formed a twelfth-level tornado, which swept the stock market and the business world into a huge wave! Longman, Olympic Entertainment Group, President''s Office. The TV screen in front of him is still changing, but He Hongshen is sitting in a chair without saying a word. When he walks forward, he will find that his attention is obviously not on the TV screen. He is already wandering away from the sky and doesn''t know what he is thinking. He Youguang sat on the sofa next to him, his eyes moved back and forth on the TV and his father He Hongshen. When he saw Xia Yu''s figure on the TV screen, a complicated look appeared on his face, some of his shock, some relief, some admiration... There are so many. For a long time, with a sigh, He Hongshen recovered and muttered to himself: "Huo Yingdong? Xia Yu? When did you get mixed up?" Hearing He Hongshen''s self-talk, He Youguang was taken aback, his brows wrinkled slightly, his complexion even more complicated. He heard the unhappiness and gloom in his father''s words, and he knew why. He Hongshen and Huo Yingdong have a deep grievance because of the rivalry in the gambling industry in Longmen. It is not clear in a few words. The relationship between Xia Yu and the He family now is very complicated. His sister He Chaoqiong has always been obsessed with Xia Yu, and his father He Hongshen is just scheming, and he does not let go of the thought of binding Xia Yu. But now I suddenly see that Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu have joined together. Xia Yu helped Huo Yingdong buy the company of the Jardine Consortium, which obviously has a deep interest relationship. This makes the relationship between the three families intricate and complicated. How to prevent He Hongshen from getting annoyed. Even He Youguang feels tricky, lamenting in his heart that Xia Yu can take a bath, and he is not optimistic about the future of his sister. The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 382: Strong man with broken wrist "Youguang, what do you think of this matter?" After all, He Hongshen was a veteran who had experienced the ups and downs of the business sea, and soon got up and down and began to take the opportunity to test his son. He Youguang straightened his waist, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "The defeat of the Jardine Consortium is set. The key is that they can stop the loss by several levels. If other British consortiums or the Hong Kong government intervene, the Jardine Consortium can take a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the loss is set." He Hongshen nodded slightly and acknowledged his son''s opinion, and then said lightly: "It is impossible for the Hong Kong government to intervene. MacLehose was sitting on the sidelines before, and now the Chinese capital is out of the game, it is even more impossible for him to come out at the end. Be a peacemaker." "Then what do you think of other British consortia?" He Hongshen asked twice, he did not ask other Chinese consortiums what would happen, because in the face of big disputes and common interests, the Chinese consortium would only push the wall, and would never help the Jardine consortium with hatred. "Banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered will not end easily. Hutchison is in a quagmire and cannot take care of itself. Wheelock''s strength is insufficient and embarrassed. Other small British consortiums are taking the lead of the four major consortia. They are scared by the power of Xia Yu and others. If you dare to take this muddy water trip to your upper body, the only thing that is likely to be able to help is the Swire Consortium." "I think I want the Swire Consortium to intervene, unless they are also facing a huge threat, or Jardine has promised a lot of benefits, otherwise they should not move, maybe they might also take a bite of Jardine." He Youguang thought for a longer time this time, and then calmly analyzed his views. "Do you think we have a chance?" He Hongshen did not comment, and continued to ask He Youguang three times. "we?" He Youguang was taken aback, and repeated it subconsciously. After seeing his father''s deep eyes, he continued to contemplate. The He family now walks on two legs. He Hongshen is ambitious. He doesn''t want to be the boss of Omen, but wants to step on Omen with one foot and Xiangjiang with the other. Olympic Entertainment Group is strong and powerful, second to none in Omen. But the other leg of the He family, the Xinde Group, seems a bit thin. Registered in Hong Kong in 1972, it focuses on the four major businesses of real estate, transportation, hotel and leisure, and investment. However, because there are many Xiangjiang bosses who secretly address He Hongshen, the development of Shun Tak Group in Xiangjiang is not smooth, especially the real estate business has been the most suppressed . No way, who made He Hongshen treat Omen as his own turf and repeatedly blocked the infiltration of Xiangjiang bosses. Therefore, He Hongshen was suppressed in Xiangjiang, no wonder others. But now, at the time of the turmoil, He Hongshen''s heart has become active again, and it is not surprising that he wants to wait for an opportunity to grow. This third question caused He Youguang a very headache. He spent a long time thinking, and finally lowered his head in shame and said softly: "I don''t know much about the Jardine Consortium, and I think the time is too rushed, and the time is too late. " After speaking, He Youguang also glanced at his father He Hongshen secretly, and found that he just nodded faintly, and did not express disappointment with his answer. "Is it too late..." He Hongshen stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, standing with his hand holding his hand and looking at the east, as if he could see through time and space, and muttered to himself for a long time. "Bao Yugang has already gained two benefits, and Li Jiacheng has gained a lot. Huo Yingdong and Zheng Yu have also benefited, and all of this cannot be separated from him. It is the first contact of my He family, but what I didn''t get it, huh..." "Does God really prefer him? Since his rise to the present, those who oppose him have no good end, but those who are kind to him continue to benefit..." Seeing the darkness in the world, He Hongshen only believed that he did not believe in fate, but unconsciously thought of Xia Yu''s way to rise, his heart was slightly shaken. "Family...daughter..." Seeing his father''s back, He Youguang''s fists clenched unconsciously. ... Hong Lok Building, Hong Kong Central. The atmosphere in the president''s office was solemn. Everyone sitting there was speechless for a long time. Even the old John, who successfully raised another 200 million Hong Kong dollars, looked gloomy. When the content announced by several Chinese tycoons at the press conference came to his ears, he was immediately confused. The long-worried situation of wolves eating tigers finally appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it fell into a deadly situation without resistance. One by one, 20 to 30% of the shares of the companies changed owners, and even the more ruthless Bao Yugang swallowed 42% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd. and directly became the largest shareholder. Obviously, this company Destined to fall under Bao Yugang. And this is just the beginning! The situation will get worse in the future! In a short time, the old John who was familiar with Chinese culture had a word in his mind-Ambush! Shopping malls are like battlefields, and now there are beacon fires everywhere. Isn''t the Jardine Consortium in an ambush on all sides? "Father, what should I do now?" Charles Keswick, the youngest, no longer had the calmness of the past, and asked in a panic on his face. "Chairman, time is urgent. The Chinese have a good old saying that at critical times, a strong man must break his wrist!" Niu Bijian said solemnly. "I know!" Old John said hoarsely. "Father, I think we need to keep the Jardine Machine Group first. It is impossible to keep all the companies now. And this situation is caused by Xia Yu. He is the core. If we can beat him Retire, the effect is definitely better than retiring Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others!" Henry Keswick, who was silent, suddenly proposed. Both Old John and Niu Bijian looked at him, and Niu Bijian agreed: "Chairman, I agree with the views of the big man, and so many companies are not as important as the Jardine Machinery Group. We need to take the stock in Xia Yu''s hands and He kicked out of the company, and he won''t suffer endlessly!" Old John nodded. At this moment, his thinking has changed a lot. Originally, he just wanted to raise the equity to more than 50%, but now the situation is too severe, and the battle is no longer limited to him and Xia Yu. What if Jardine Holdings raises its equity to 50%? Don''t forget that the equity held by Xia Yu is still there! This large stake is like a dagger inserted into one''s body The threat is always there, and it may be drawn out for bloodletting at any time. As for the current situation, Xia Yu once again made it clear that it was the core of the series. If he wanted to break this situation, he had to break the line to be the most effective. If you can keep the Jardine Machine Group and kick Xia Yu out, it will definitely have the effect of interrupting the enemy''s momentum, and they can also be a little more calm. "Xiangjiang Ground Service Co., Ltd. gives up, and saves those companies with a lower proportion of opponents'' shares. Other companies, hold on!" "Call Jiuding Securities to meet Xia Yu at the last place." Old John closed his eyes and said, his old hand clenched his fist and released it, obviously making up his mind. What if you are unwilling? In reality, he can only bow his head to Xia Yu temporarily. How much is the face value in the face of keeping the Jardine Machine Group and lifting the financial crisis? The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 383: Time to show one acting skill "The Jardine Consortium bowed its head?" Playing with the telephone tube in his hand, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth curled up and said with a chuckle. "Congratulations boss!" Wang Qi smiled and congratulated. Just now Xia Yu was talking with Old John, and he was also listening. He already knew that Old John took the initiative to invite his boss Xia Yu to meet at the last place. The purpose was self-evident. There was only one, and that was bowing! All this happened as the boss Xia Yu had calculated. Unknowingly, Wang Qi was full of admiration for the boss Xia Yu. The boss is really amazing. It''s nothing but nothing in ancient times! "Get your things ready, you accompany me tonight, remember to notify the lawyer." Xia Yu said with a light smile, feeling very happy, and there was no lack of expectation during the period. "Ok!" ... Time flies like a white horse, and night is already in the blink of an eye. When Xia Yu''s car came to the location, he suddenly found a luxury car parked next to him, the license plate was exactly the one he had seen last time. "It looks like Old John has already arrived!" Xia Yu said inwardly. "Let''s go down!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took Wang Qi and Li Wuming out of the car. As for the lawyer who brought him, he continued to wait in the car until the negotiation was successful, and Wang Qi would notify him to come up. Before the negotiation is successful, if a lawyer appears, something will definitely be exposed, which will affect Xia Yu''s negotiation. Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia Yu and the others opened the door. Old John and Niu Bijian, who had already stood up, were greeted. There was no one else! Seeing Xia Yu appeared, both Old John and Niu Bijian felt very complicated, but they were both people who had experienced ups and downs. The city was very deep and did not show it. Instead, they pretended to be okay and welcomed Xia Yu and others with a smile. . "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, thank you for coming!" "Mr. John, Mr. Niu Bijian, good evening!" After greetings and shaking hands, the four of them took their seats while Li Wuming stood guard at the door. After being seated, the atmosphere suddenly quieted strangely. Xia Yu held the initiative and didn''t want to speak first to avoid losing morale. Old John and Niu Bijian have lumps in their hearts and can hardly speak. "It seems that no matter how they laugh, they still can''t make it through!" Xia Yu''s mouth twitched slightly, and her heart was refreshed. With his eyes facing each other, Old John saw the smile in Xia Yu''s eyes. He suppressed the fire in his heart, thinking of the current situation, and finally suppressed the lump in his heart. "Forget it, it''s all to this point. Since I asked him to come, I have bowed my head, and there is nothing else I can think of... Time is precious, he can afford it, I can''t afford it, it is important to quickly take the equity!" A thought flashed in his mind, and Old John squirmed his throat and spoke. "Mr. Xia, let me just say it, I want to buy all the equity in the Jardine Machine Group in your hand, what price will it cost!" Upon hearing this, Xia Yu smiled, and resolutely shook his head and said: "I am not selling. I am very optimistic about the future of the Yihe Machinery Group. I also want to buy the equity in your hands. Please make a price!" In order to benefit as much as possible, Xia Yu naturally assumed a posture of reluctance to sell stocks. The old driver is racing... uh... it''s racing! It''s time to show off acting at the Oscar level! As soon as these words came out, the brows of Old John and Niu Bijian frowned, and the wrinkles on Old John''s forehead seemed to trap mosquitoes. "Mr. Xia, I don''t know how many stocks you have?" Old John held back his anger and asked calmly. Xia Yu raised his brows, thinking about Old John''s intentions. After thinking about it, he still intends to speak out, just to give Old John a greater threat to increase his psychological price. "Not much, so far, it''s about 33.7%." Xia Yu said lightly, with a somewhat casual attitude, as if he didn''t take this number to heart. It''s just that as soon as this ratio of equity was said, Old John and Niu Bijian were shocked, especially Old John, their fists clenched unconsciously. He thought that after he acquired the equity in Temasek Holdings, he widened the gap. He didn''t expect the gap to be at that level. He made progress, but Xia Yu did not fall. "He really wants to grab the company!" Old John thought with certainty. "Just where did his equity come from?" Old John frowned again, wondering in his heart. As if he knew what old John was thinking, Xia Yu said frankly: "Mr. John, the shares of HeungKong Bank of China and Goldman Sachs have been sold to me." Old John was taken aback, then horrified. Yuan Yuan opened his eyes to Xia Yu and asked: "Is Goldman Sachs helping you buy?" Xia Yu smiled and whispered softly: "Not bad!" Hearing this, Niu Bijian and Old John couldn''t help but look at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other''s eyes. Unexpectedly, the Goldman Sachs Group, where a third party intervened, was commissioned by Xia Yu, which made the sense of crisis in the old John''s heart even stronger. You must know that equity mergers and acquisitions are not simply a matter of price. Sometimes money is useful, but at other times it appears secondary, because money is just a simple situation of interest. No one knows what Goldman Sachs has, or what handle Nomura Securities, Daiwa Securities, and Cummins are holding. It is possible to sell shares at the same price or a lower price. "Besides, he has said all such secret things. Is he already sure that he can get the shares?" Old John was confused and had to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt possible. "He really wants to grab control of the company!" "No, no matter how high the price is, I have to keep the Jardine Machine Group, otherwise it will really not be able to maintain the situation!" Seeing Old John''s eyes squinted, Xia Yu must have said in his heart: "It seems that the psychological warfare has worked, hehe, caring is messy, you can eat more salt than I eat, and I am not led by my nose!" "Mr. Xia, I also bluntly said that you absolutely cannot take away the control of Jardine Machines Group. I have bought the equity in Temasek Holdings. Now I have 46% of the equity in my hands. You cannot succeed! " "If you don''t sell your stock to me then no matter how much the price is spent, I will buy the stocks in Cummins or Nomura Securities and fight you to the end!" Old John first calmly said about the equity in his hand, and then exaggerated it a bit, trying to put more pressure on Xia Yu, then his tone became extremely firm, and he said with a cruel face. Xia Yu''s face suddenly changed, as if a little panicked, and then quickly recovered his calm, unwilling to show weakness and looked at old John. Seeing that Xia Yu was frightened by himself, and changing from the relaxed posture that he had made before, Old John was overjoyed and planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and put even more psychological pressure on Xia Yu. "Moreover, Mr. Xia, your company has few assets, so there is no need to be trapped here." "You are good at financial investment, but you haven''t done it in industry. Even if you get control of the Jardine Machinery Group, it''s useless. You have to know that Jardine Machinery Group has been operated by my family for more than 50 years. If I lose If it succeeds, then I dare to say that all senior executives will resign and all cooperation will be terminated!" Old John threatened nakedly. The most powerful hero of rebirth Chapter 384: Black Heart Xia Yu Xia Yu''s face became very ugly, his teeth clenched, and he looked at Old John bitterly. Old John''s face remained unchanged, and his eyes with Xia Yu were full of determination, indicating that he would really do this. This is the case with psychological warfare. If you don¡¯t even believe in yourself, it¡¯s difficult to fool others. What''s more, this is really old John''s true thoughts. If he really loses the Jardine Machine Group, he will definitely choose to lose both to Xia Yu. His hatred of Xia Yu is not as strong as usual. If he fails to achieve his goal this time, he will die with Xia Yu! The solemn atmosphere lasted for a long time, and finally... "Huh!" "Mr. John, you won!" Xia Yu slowly retracted his gaze, the aura on his body weakened, and he let out a sullen breath, somewhat discouraged. Before Old John was happy, he saw Xia Yu once again gather momentum. "But I am not scared. It is absolutely impossible to easily take equity from me. Selling equity to you is betraying others! The consequences are not easy to bear!" Xia Yu said solemnly. Old John frowned. Xia Yu is fighting back, asking for a high price. He wanted to refute again, but Xia Yu''s reasons made him have nowhere to refute. After all, he is determined to take the equity in Xia Yu''s hands. Isn''t he just to break their alliance from the inside and relieve himself? Obviously Xia Yu is not stupid, he guessed his purpose! And now, it seems that Xia Yu is a very qualified capitalist. For the benefit, he can be sold with his companions, which is exactly what he wants! But the capitalists who regard interests as everything are also annoying, and that is extreme greed! It¡¯s just that at this time, Old John is grateful for Xia Yu¡¯s greed. At least Xia Yu would be willing to betray Bao Yugang and others¡¯ alliance for profit. If he refuses to betray, it would be great for Old John. trouble. "If the price is big, it will be big, as long as the goal is achieved!" Old John flashed a thought and made up his mind. "please!" Old John made a please gesture and signaled Xia Yu to bid. "I want you to hold all the equity of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group!" Xia Yu said without hesitation, with a very firm attitude. Old John frowned, and stared at Xia Yu for a few seconds, seeing that Xia Yu did not back down, quite a big deal. He nodded slowly and said, "Yes!" Anyway, Jardine has only 30% of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group¡¯s shares. Xia Yu has already taken control. With the addition of another shareholder who wears the same pair of pants as Xia Yu, Xia Yu¡¯s voting rights have exceeded three points. Second, the board of directors of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group has become Xia Yu''s speech. Their 30% equity will not work at all, and will be pinched by Xia Yu. Instead of being trapped, it is better to let go. Anyway, they are just short of money! "Except for the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd....... these seven companies'' equity swaps, I do not accept stock swaps in any other situation, only cash!" Xia Yu did not change his face, and once again raised the second condition. Old John frowned. He didn''t expect that Xia Yu still wanted to take advantage of him, and he was also a big problem. There are two options. He will either use the shares of seven companies including Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd. and cash to replace them, or he will buy the others with cash. The first option was directly ruled out by him! Although he is short of money now, he will never exchange the shares of these seven companies, even if he has decided to abandon the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd. company. He also knew that Xia Yu''s purpose was nothing more than to transfer it to Bao Yugang and others to help them complete the acquisition. But Old John wouldn''t let Xia Yu wish. The purpose of winning Xia Yu was to hit other people and destroy their alliance at the same time. If you exchange the stocks of those seven companies, wouldn''t it be an initiative to help them? helped them just stabbing themselves with a knife! Moreover, it will also ease the relationship between Xia Yu and other Chinese bigwigs, and resolve the evil consequences of Xia Yu''s betrayal. How could Old John make Xia Yu wishful! So even if the pressure to use all cash is great, Old John resolutely chooses the second option: "The stocks of other companies are not exchanged, and all cash is used!" Xia Yu took a deep look at Old John, was silent for a moment, and said: "Okay! Then talk about the price now! 120 Hong Kong dollars per share!" "Impossible!" Not only Old John, but even Niu Bijian, his face changed a lot after hearing Xia Yu''s quotation, and he blurted out. "How impossible! The closing price of the stock market today is 93 Hong Kong dollars per share, and our boss bid 120 Hong Kong dollars at a premium of less than 30%. If we wait two days, it will definitely rise to 120 Hong Kong dollars!" Wang Qi, who has been unable to insert his mouth, also seized the opportunity and retorted unwillingly. Old John and Niu Bijian were unmoved, and Niu Bijian countered: "But don''t forget that the initial price was 27 Hong Kong dollars. Now such a high stock price is yours. 120 Hong Kong dollars is too high, up to 100 Hong Kong dollars!" "Mr. Xia, too much!" Old John''s eyebrows were upside down, his sharp eyes stared at Xia Yu, and he said solemnly. "Not at all, in my opinion, Jardine Machinery Group is worth the price!" Xia Yu is not a vegetarian, so he retorted without hesitation. ¡­¡­ After a fierce battle, both sides were a little dry, the tea bottomed out, and the two sides finally compromised with each other. 112 Hong Kong dollars per share! The premium is a little more than 20%! It was the old John and Niu Bijian''s efforts before they moved Xia Yu''s mouth to talk. "Mr. John, your eloquence is so real, admire!" Xia Yu flattered, but this flattery came out of Xia Yu''s mouth, always feeling that the taste was not right. But Old John doesn''t want to bother with this, and he can breathe a sigh of relief when the talk is over. "To each other!" "Mr. John, the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, valued at 8.3 Hong Kong dollars per share!" Xia Yu continued, without blushing at all. "No way!" Old John also rejected Xia Yu''s offer without hesitation, his face trembling constantly, obviously his heart was extremely unstable. He was so mad at Xia Yu''s shamelessness that he dared to offer it at a price of 8.3 Hong Kong dollars. The stock price of 8.3 Hong Kong dollars is the initial stock price of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, and there is no premium at all. But the situation of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is very special. Because the stock price did not take off at all, Xia Yu applied for suspension of trading. Therefore, Jardine Insurance Co., Ltd.¡¯s share price is realistic. Compared with Jardine Machinery Group, the original stock price was 27 Hong Kong dollars per share, and now he bid 112 Hong Kong dollars per share to buy it, the price has more than quadrupled! He has eaten up such a big loss, but now Xia Yu still wants to take advantage! How not to irritate him! This Xia Yu is really kind-faced and black-hearted, deceiving people too much! Even in Old John¡¯s city, he couldn¡¯t bear it. The more he wanted to get angry, his fists clenched unconsciously, and his face burst into blue veins, which was obviously extremely angry. Chapter 385: Nothing but 3 Although he saw that Old John was burning with anger, Xia Yu remained unmoved. Old John was furious, even if he was mad, Xia Yu didn''t care, he only cared about real benefits. Jardine Holdings owns 30% of the equity of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, a total of 18 million shares. Even if the bid is 1 Hong Kong dollars, Xia Yu will have to pay 18 million Hong Kong dollars more! Even if Xia Yu has great earning power, it will take some effort to earn 18 million! What''s more, letting go now is equivalent to giving money to the enemy. How could Xia Yu let go! I''m going to catch and **** blood! "Mr. John, the share price of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is worth this price. I have already let go of Jardine Machinery Group, otherwise you still want to get the price of 112 Hong Kong dollars per share?" Xia Yu sneered, then threatened. Old John used the Jardine Machine Group to threaten him before, but now that Feng Shui turns around, it is his turn to use the Jardine Machine Group to counter the threat. Just now, when he saw the old John on the Jardine Machine Group for so long, he just let go, just to let the old John create a difficult mentality. People¡¯s hearts are like this. The easier you get, the less you know how to cherish. The harder you get, the more you cherish and the more you think it is worthwhile. If Xia Yu easily agreed to his offer just now, even if it was 100 Hong Kong dollars, Old John would still be suspicious, wondering if he had offered a high price. Xia Yu possesses this deeply, so it took old John''s mind to make him spend 112 Hong Kong dollars without feeling a disadvantage. Now in turn use this to threaten Old John, and Old John has to take it seriously. Sure enough, hearing Xia Yu''s threat, Old John had to take a deep breath to calm his mood even though his face was more ugly. "Mr. John, you have to figure out which one is more important. I didn''t want to sell the company from the beginning. The only thing I do in business is your wish. If you think you are at a disadvantage, that''s it for tonight." Xia Yu leaned on the back of the stool, shrugged, and said with an indifferent expression. The more Xia Yu did not care, the more old John cares. Xia Yu¡¯s psychological tactics have never stopped, every sentence and every action invisibly misled Old John, and made Old John talk unconsciously. Seeing Xia Yu''s beating, although Old John is old, he also has an urge to beat Xia Yu. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, weighing himself. He bought shares of Jardine Machinery Group for 112 Hong Kong dollars per share, which was an extra 24 Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu has about 13.5 million shares in his hands, which means he has more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. The original share price of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group was 8.3 Hong Kong dollars, and he couldn¡¯t assume that the company could rise several times without suspending trading, and at most it would be a premium of 20%. But the premium is 20%, which is about 30 million Hong Kong dollars more, which is less than one-tenth of what he had before. Thinking this way, he felt better in his heart. The reason why he couldn''t accept it just now was mainly because Xia Yu''s eating appearance and attitude were too disgusting for him, and the depression in his heart was almost exploded. Calm down now, think about it carefully, and now the initiative is in Xia Yu''s hands. If you want to sell at a premium of 20%, the chances are very slim! But no matter what, we still have to fight and do our best to obey the fate! "Mr. Xia, we will not discuss the point that Jardine Insurance Consulting Group''s share price has not risen. I promised Jardine Machinery Group a premium of more than 20%. Then you can''t stop it. Jardine Insurance Consulting Group also shares a premium of 20%. !" Old John said decisively. "Impossible, it''s not that I beg you to sell, you don''t have to sell it!" Xia Yu gave no face at all, and refused without hesitation. He caught the point that Old John didn''t dare to overthrow the cooperation that he had negotiated before. There were not many important points, but it was not fatal! Obviously, the cooperation that has been negotiated now is the dead end of Old John, and Xia Yu has no fear. "Huh!" Old John was choked by Xia Yu and almost couldn''t catch his breath. After changing, he quickly took a deep breath. Realizing that Xia Yu was really bitter and not letting go, Old John could only give up and admit his loss! But he still has to fish something to be content. "Mr. Xia, this price is not impossible, but you must agree to a condition!" Old John stared at Xia Yu and said. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, a little surprised, and said, "Please tell me." "You must promise not to maliciously sniper the acquisition of our Jardine consortium company from now on! This clause must be written into the contract." Old John said outrageously. Hearing this, Xia Yu and Wang Qi were taken aback, and then Wang Qi almost laughed, but fortunately, they held back in time. Without him, this request is really amazing! It seems that Old John was scared by Xia Yu, and now Xia Yu must be restricted. But how could Xia Yu agree to such a ridiculous overlord clause! "Impossible, if I promise you, my company will be abolished. According to you, I won''t have to evade you from the Jardine Foundation in the future? I can''t afford this person! I am not so stupid!" Xia Yu gave a cold snort and flatly refused, without any room for discussion. joke! If this clause is written, the Jardine consortium will continue to grow in the future, and every share of a company Xia Yu will not be able to operate. If it is assumed that Xiangjiang becomes the world of Jardine, could he still make the company cancel out? Nothing? And after signing this clause, he has a fatal weakness. He can be checked and weighed from a legal point of view at any time, and the trouble will be endless. He is not like Cixi, who can sign a treaty regardless of victory or defeat. Now it is Old John who has lost. The loser asks the winner to sign the treaty. Is it really the end of the 19th century? Unless he is stupid, he will agree! And in his opinion, Old John was also out of anger before he said the conditions of this idiot! Of course, the old John didn¡¯t faint, he was asking for the price to pay back the money. Isn¡¯t he making such outrageous terms just to leave more room for negotiation? "Okay, you don''t have to write, but you must promise not to maliciously attack my company!" Old John took a step back and said. "Mr. Xia, you Chinese have a saying, it''s nothing but three things!" "You have been more than three times now. You have to know that people''s patience is limited, and you have to know how to see it!" Old John''s complexion recovered, and he looked at Xia Yu blankly and said quietly. Xia Yu''s face changed constantly, as if he was struggling, and finally nodded slowly and said, "Okay, this is the last time!" Old John took a deep look at Xia Yu, but could only choose to believe it, and continued: "Mr. Xia, sign the contract now!" All the conditions were agreed, and Old John naturally wanted to sign the contract immediately, so that it would be more secure. Otherwise, there will be many dreams at night, and if something happens tonight or tomorrow morning, it will be even more troublesome. He doesn''t want to take this risk! Chapter 386: 1.5 billion "can!" Xia Yu nodded and said. Old John nodded slightly, then retracted his gaze, and said to Niu Bijian: "Go and get the things in, and get lawyer Federer to come in." "Wang Qi, you go out too, and bring the lawyer in!" Xia Yu also told Wang Qi beside him. Hearing that Xia Yu also brought the lawyer, Old John''s face changed slightly and he realized what was wrong, but he couldn''t figure it out for a while. After all, he was over sixty years old, his body and energy were relatively poor, and he had experienced the hardship just now. In the confrontation, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and my mind was a little unable to move. If I can¡¯t figure it out, I don¡¯t want to. Anyway, no matter where Xia Yu has a calculation, he has also achieved the goal he came back. This is enough! After Niu Bijian and Wang Qi left, Old John and Xia Yu were left in the box. They sat face to face, but didn''t say a word. It seemed that no one wanted to talk to anyone, and they didn''t know what to talk about. was waiting awkwardly, and soon heard a string of footsteps from far to near. Then, Niu Bijian and Wang Qi came in with a lawyer each. Next, Niu Bijian took the long-prepared contract, Xia Yu filled in the number of shares, Old John filled in the transaction amount, and then added other terms. After a lot of work, the initial contract was signed. But if you want to have a complete legal effect, you need to complete the stock transaction and fund transfer tomorrow before the formal delivery takes effect. Then, the better the two parties will go back tonight to prepare, and meet at the bank at 8:30 tomorrow morning, pay with one hand and deliver the goods. When things were done, Old John and Niu Bijian didn''t want to wait any longer. They said goodbye to Xia Yu, and took Niu Bijian and others to leave. Xia Yu also took Wang Qi into the car home. "Boss, you really belong to you! You are absolutely qualified to win the Oscar winner!" After sending the lawyer back, there were no outsiders, Wang Qi finally stopped holding back, and said in admiration. Just now, he was on the sidelines, watching the boss Xia Yu clash with Old John all the way. If he didn''t know the truth, he asked himself, he would be tricked by the boss Xia Yu. It''s just that the old John is not him, but the head of the Xiangjiang First Financial Group. The difference is big! is such a powerful character, who was played by the boss Xia Yu and applauded. How can this not make him convinced? "Haha, what is the use of being an Oscar actor? If you want to be the chairman of the Oscar Film and Television Association!" Xia Yu laughed, and there was a hint of pride in his heart. Of course, the sense of accomplishment is very different for playing an ordinary person and playing a big person. "By the way, I will sort out the acquisition of Wharf as soon as possible. After I get the money tomorrow, I will give the Jardine consortium a surprise!" Suddenly thought of something, Xia Yu warned. Wang Qi grinned with an expectant smile, and immediately nodded in response: "Understood!" Just now Old John forced Xia Yu not to attack the companies under the Jardine Consortium in disgust, Xia Yu agreed with difficulty. But when tomorrow, old John just settled down, he will learn that there is a bigger thunder waiting for him. When the time comes, the three corpse gods who will definitely be angry with Old John will violently jump, the picture is very exciting to think about! "I don''t know how many shares Liu Tianci bought for me today. It''s exciting..." Thinking of this afternoon, he asked Liu Tianci to make a surprise purchase of the minority shareholders of Wharf in the name of HSBC. Xia Yu was looking forward to it. The Wharf acquisition plan had been hidden for so long, and finally it was time to launch the final attack. Xia Yu pulled on HSBC¡¯s tiger skin to make another surprise and buy more stocks. He did not let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. buy it, but hid behind HSBC. After all, the current situation in the Xiangjiang financial market is turbulent, and Jiuding Securities is like a 10,000-watt light source in the dark, and every move has been watched by countless people. If he asks people to buy stocks in the hands of the shareholders of Wharf, then the purpose is like a lice on the monk''s head, obviously! will definitely cause a huge disturbance, and even tonight there is no way to complete the negotiation. So it''s better to hide behind HSBC, the big deal is to spend more handling fees! Compared to the huge benefits obtained from the acquisition of Wharf, those handling fees are just sprinkling water! And with the energy of HSBC, there is a greater certainty to acquire more stocks. The more stocks he gets, the greater the advantage and the more money he can save when Xia Yu launches an attack tomorrow! "It''s coming soon, after tonight you can have a good harvest!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. ¡­¡­ Two flowers bloom, one on each table. Let¡¯s talk about Old John. After getting the desired result, he breathed a sigh of relief, then checked the time and hurriedly ordered the driver to drive home as fast as he could. Because tonight he will not only negotiate with Xia Yu, but also invite someone to come to his house. He should be hosted by his son now. Sure enough, when I got home, I saw several old men sitting in the living room, accompanied by his sons Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick. After seeing Old John coming back, Henry and Charles were obviously relieved and quickly stood up to greet them. "Good evening everyone, sorry, I''m late!" Old John said apologetically, and then took his seat. "It''s not in the way, how is the situation?" asked Norman Shiyahuai, the helm of the oldest Taikoo foreign firm. Sitting on the left and right, with Hutchison Whampoa helm Qi Dezun, and Wheelock and John Madden, the helm of the same name as Old John, also projected attention to the old John. "The talk is over!" Old John didn''t hide it slightly nodded and said. Because the things we are going to talk about tonight are very important, if you want to talk about it, you can''t avoid involving the Jardine Machinery Group, so Old John didn''t hide it, and there is no need to hide it. "Congratulations! You can relax!" Norman Shiyahuai congratulated him. He knew how hard John Keswick had been during this period. Now it is very important for the Jardine consortium to save the Jardine Machine Group. John Madden and Qi Dezun also congratulated again and again. "Congratulations!" "Hey, it''s not worth being happy, the price paid is too great!" Old John shook his head and smiled bitterly. "What conditions? What results?" Qi Dezun asked, a little curious in his heart. "2 HKD per share......" Old John explained the conditions of the negotiation, but he didn''t say much. After all, he was really aggrieved in the negotiation, so he only talked about the price and the number of shares. Hearing this condition, even if Norman Shi Yahuai and others are over 60, they can''t help but feel moved. The total price is close to 500 million Hong Kong dollars! This has exceeded the total market value of the Jardine Machine Group before Xia Yu was attacked. You must know that the total market value at that time was only HK$100 million. Of course, everyone knows that the past two years have been a low period in the stock market. This stock price does not represent the true value of the Jardine Machine Group. But this price, in their opinion, is still too high! The Jardine Foundation has suffered heavy losses! The three people''s eyes crossed, and their moods were very complicated. Chapter 387: Alliance results "Forget it, let''s not talk about it, it''s already so late tonight, let''s talk about business first!" Old John shook his head slightly and said in a good mood. "Let''s talk about it, what can I do with us tonight?" Despite his guesses, Norman Shi Yahuai asked. Old John didn¡¯t answer his question, but he told himself: ¡°Everyone should know that with the economic development these years, Chinese capital has grown rapidly and can compete with us. They are no longer satisfied with the current market distribution. But the cake is so big! This time, although their goal is my Jardine, they are actually targeting the entire British capital!" The expressions of Norman Shi Yahuai and the others changed slightly as soon as they said this, and it was obvious that they were in their hearts. This is indeed the case! Originally, except for those low-threshold mass-market industries, high-threshold industries such as aviation and hydropower were all controlled by British capital. This was determined by the franchise license granted by the Hong Kong government. However, because of the changes in the world in recent decades, and Xiangjiang is the mainland''s window to the outside world, many Chinese capitals have taken advantage of the trend to rise up. Among them, shipping is a typical representative, and British capital cannot suppress it. There are also garment manufacturing, financial industry, etc., which have made great contributions to the primitive accumulation of Chinese capital. After the rise of the real estate industry, the Chinese capital seized the opportunity. The real estate industry that was originally monopolized by British capital was continuously eroded by Chinese capital. Many real estate giants appeared, even British Land, Swire Properties, Wharf, etc. They still occupy the top positions, and they are also sitting on pins and needles. Because the speed and momentum of the rise of Chinese capital is amazing! Long ago, they felt the restlessness of the Chinese capital, but they also knew that because of the difference in strength, the Chinese capital did not dare to act rashly. But now, this time the Chinese capital is targeting the Jardine consortium with great momentum, and they can''t help but be wary. It''s just that they didn''t directly threaten themselves after all, so Norman Shiyahuai and John Madden didn''t want to get involved and expand the fight. Because they understand that if you pull the whole body together, it will be easy to end, but it will be hard to retreat if you want the whole body! They haven''t suffered a loss yet, so why take the initiative to jump in and make a stand for Yihe! Because of this mentality, all of them were silent, and despite their vigilance, they did not pick up Old John''s words. The reaction of Norman Shiyahuai and the others made Old John a little anxious. He couldn''t help but increase the volume and said again: "You should understand that if I fail, Huazi will definitely make progress. If they form a general trend, you will also Become their goal!" "We are people with vested interests. They are newly emerging capitalists. They are naturally on the opposite side. None of us can stay out of the matter!" Norman Shiya frowned slightly and said: "Keswick, competition will always exist, just like we all have competition. In essence, it depends on our own strength. You are now being targeted because of your Yihe. I am not like you because of the evil consequences of the previous large-scale annexation and expansion. "They want to use the same method to deal with Taikoo Foreign Company, it just won''t work!" Norman Shi Yahuai said confidently. Swire Pacific is positioned more accurately than the Jardine consortium. Although it has expanded, it has not expanded as rapidly as the Jardine consortium. Therefore, it now has strong control over its subsidiaries. Xia Yu and others want to attack Swire Pacific from the financial market. , The difficulty is very high, so he is not worried at all. On the other hand, the Jardine Consortium and Swire Pacific are similar in strength. They are the first and second British consortium. They compete in many aspects, such as shipping, shipping, beverages, real estate, trade and aviation, etc. Their relationship is not necessarily good. "Keswick, just tell me, what is your purpose!" Norman Shi Yahuai said concisely. Seeing that Norman Shi Yahuai was a little bit greasy and salty, Old John''s heart sank and he subconsciously looked at John Madden and Qi Dezun. It''s just that both of them are expressionless and don''t know what they are thinking. "Well, let me just say it straight, I hope everyone can help me, help me keep these companies as much as possible, and beat the offense of Chinese capital. If one day you also face this situation, I will definitely help as soon as possible! " Old John solemnly pleaded, and made a promise. The three of them fell into contemplation, and the atmosphere solidified for a long time. For a long time, Qi Dezun took the lead to say: "Keswick, it''s not that I don''t want to help, but that we are all overwhelmed." After speaking, Qi Dezun stretched out his hands helplessly. This is what Qi Dezun said in his heart. In fact, seeing the predicament that Yihe is facing now, Qi Dezun is fortunate more than once. Because Hutchison Whampoa is really in a quagmire! Around 1965, Hutchison had about 50 subsidiaries and affiliated companies. However, in 1975, only a decade or so had passed, and Hutchison International owned more than 360 subsidiaries and affiliated companies, which shows the ferocity of the expansion. However, the consequences of expansion appeared, coupled with the impact of the general environment, and Hutchison International suffered serious losses. Afterwards, under the drastic reforms of the professional manager of "Doctor Genius" Werry, Hutchison International vigorously divested its non-performing assets. Within a year, 107 companies were dissolved or sold, and after that, they continued to rectify and divest themselves. Then, in early January of this year, Hutchison International and Whampoa Shipping merged to form what is now Hutchison Whampoa. This was a breath of relief. However, the situation is still not optimistic. Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s low stock price is a positive evidence. So let Qi Dezun take the initiative to jump out to attract firepower to Yihe, how could he be willing to do it! Isn''t this asking for trouble! He was full of loopholes, and it would be good if he was not spotted. Where would he jump out? He was eager for Xia Yu and others to ignore Hutchison Whampoa! It''s a pity that Qi Dezun is going to be disappointed. What he doesn''t know is that Hutchison Whampoa has been spotted for a long time. After the bad luck of the Jardine Consortium, he will be the next bad luck! I don''t know if he will pass out angrily at that time! "That''s right, Keswick, it would be nice if they didn''t trouble us. You know what I''m going to do with Defeng, this really can''t help!" John Madden said apologetically. Among the four major British consortiums, Wheelock has the shortest establishment time and the smallest strength. He doesn''t want to proactively cause trouble and share the worries for Jardine. Compared with the one-two-hundred-year history of the Jardine Consortium and Taikoo Yang, Wheelock was very young. It was only established in 1925. John Madden tried to sell the company several times. The most recent one was related to the Jardine Consortium. That was in October 1976, when Wheelock was seeking a sale, and the Jardine consortium stepped in to prepare to acquire Wheelock. By December, Wheelock and Jardine and Land Group decided that if they failed to reach a deal within 10 days, they planned to purchase. It will be cancelled, but unfortunately this acquisition battle was ultimately difficult to produce due to competition from multiple companies. Then the economy recovered in the past two years, the real estate industry once again flourished, and Wheelock was relieved again. John Madden''s ambitions recovered again and he no longer thought about selling the company. Some time ago, the ship king Bao Yu just abandoned the ship ashore, and Wheelock also intends to purchase a large number of Bao Yugang¡¯s ships. Now it is under intense negotiations. Now let John Madden go against Bao Yugang and others. Isn''t it troublesome with yourself! What if it affects Wheelock Shipping¡¯s market expansion strategy? Why should he harm himself and others! In addition, Wheelock''s main assets are in shipping, warehousing and real estate. There are fewer listed companies and there is no fear of being attacked. Therefore, among the three people, he is the least wanting to get involved. No matter how old John fudges, his mind is always clear! I want him to help, let alone the door, not even the window! The four people have different minds They do not have the conditions for cooperation at all! Therefore, the talks that Old John had high hopes for ended in vain. The only thing that made Old John feel a little better was that Norman Shiya of Taikoo Foreign Firm had a lot of thoughts. Obviously, tonight''s words took root in his heart. As long as there is a chance, there is still a chance to pull him over to help. Old John¡¯s main goal was Swire Pacific. After all, he knew the situation of Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock and he was indeed overwhelmed. Ask them to come together tonight, that is, to see if there is a chance, they can achieve the best, and neither will they be disappointed. Watching the three people leave, Old John stood at the door for a long time without speaking, and finally let out a long sigh. "Hey¡­¡­" Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 388: One billion profit! Because of the good mood tonight, Xia Yu was in high spirits, and when he returned to Li Qian¡¯s residence, it was naturally another thunder that shook the fire, and vented fiercely. Tossing Li Qian was completely limp on the bed, and he arrived. The next day, Li Qian was sore that she couldn''t get up. For this reason, Xia Yu simply let Li Qian rest, and he went to the company alone. Anyway, during this period of time, he was on Jiuding Securities Company''s side, and he would not leave too far. If other companies have something to do, he can call Jiuding Securities Company. After arriving at the company, Wang Qi and the lawyer had been waiting at the company for a long time, and Xia Yu did not waste time anymore and took the two to the bank. When we got there, we found that Old John and others were already there. Old John was already in a hurry, so after Xia Yu and others arrived, he didn''t say much, and he immediately got into the topic. After a busy period, the money and goods are cleared! Old John didn''t stay too much, and after he achieved his goal, he left immediately. Xia Yu didn''t wait too much. After weighing the equity transfer contract of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and the stock trading contract of Jardine Machinery Group, Xia Yu smiled. Finally succeeded! So far, he owns 90% of the equity of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group! His big financial plan, insurance is finally made up! "Finally the company can be rectified, haha!" With a chuckle, Xia Yu accepted the contract and returned to the company. The battle against the Jardine Machine Group is a great reward! Throughout the process, 33.69% of the shares were acquired, totalling 13.476 million shares, because most of them were acquired at low prices, and fewer stocks were acquired at high prices, so the total cost was very low. Xia Yu made a good deal and spent a total of about 507 million on these stocks. But these stocks were sold to Old John, but they were worth 1.51 billion Hong Kong dollars! Xia Yu earned a profit of 1.003 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, because the shares of Jardine Machinery Group are partly deducted from the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, the actual funds are not so much. Jardine Holdings owns 30% of the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. According to the price of 8.3 Hong Kong dollars per share, the total of these 30% shares is about 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a difference of several hundred thousand. Therefore, the cash paid by the Jardine Consortium is 1.51 billion Hong Kong dollars minus 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which equals 1.36 billion Hong Kong dollars. The cost of Xia Yu''s acquisition of these stocks was HK$507 million. So purely calculated on the basis of figures, Xia Yu''s book profit is 1.003 billion Hong Kong dollars, 853 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and 150 million Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, but in fact it is definitely more than that. Because the value of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is seriously underestimated, the company''s value is more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars. So Xia Yu actually benefited more than 1.003 billion. What a great harvest! If you put aside the money earned from gambling, Xia Yuguang''s attack on the Jardine Machine Group more than doubled his assets! The profit is amazing! No wonder Liu Luanxiong is so keen on sniping other people''s companies. This kind of legal and reasonable financial robbery is so fast! This is the charm of finance, and Xia Yu feels a little addicted! Shaking his head slightly, Xia Yu calmed himself down, and it was not time to be satisfied. The most critical Wharf acquisition battle is not over yet! Making money is very important, but it is more important to win the Wharf, because the value of the Wharf is much higher than the profit of 1 billion. And one thing is very important, that is, no matter how good the money is, it is not as good as a real company. Which is more important, a golden egg or a hen that can lay golden eggs? The answer is self-evident, of course it is the hen who only lays golden eggs. Wharf, it is the hen! As long as he catches this chicken, Xia Yu will be able to squeeze into the real estate industry of Xiangjiang''s thriving real estate industry one step at a time, and he will directly enter the top ranks of the real estate industry and catch up with the accumulation of Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and others for more than ten or two decades. At that time, Xia Yu will have another title of "real estate tycoon" after "media tycoon" and "financial tycoon". Moreover, with the Wharf, Xia Yu can quickly incubate the company with the basis of his decades of accumulation, quickly enter all walks of life, and install a super booster for his career. "Wharf, coming to the bowl soon!" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth evoked an arc, and he thought to himself. Soon, he came to HSBC Securities and found Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Xia Yu, he immediately took Xia Yu into the office and signed the equity transfer contract. HSBC Securities has a broad path, helping Xia Yu win three shareholders and acquired a total of 5.7 million Wharf stocks, a total of about 5.81%. The money transferred from the Jardine Consortium was not covered by the heat, and was immediately used by Xia Yu. At a cost of 99.8 million Hong Kong dollars, these 5.7 million Wharf stocks were acquired at an average price of 17.5 Hong Kong dollars per share. "I''ll pass first!" After taking the shares of HSBC Securities, Xia Yu said to Liu Tianci very satisfied, and then walked outside. "You go slowly!" Liu Tianci didn''t want to stay, and sent Xia Yu out. Seeing Xia Yu strutting away from the back, Liu Tianci clenched his fists unknowingly, and blood surged in his heart. He knew that Xia Yu''s departure would drop an atomic bomb on the already noisy battlefield. "This day will surely be the day of legend!" Liu Tianci''s eyes were blurred, he smiled expectantly, and muttered to himself. "Quickly, I am about to leave, the boss is so powerful, I can''t hold him back." "After all, the bank, but the core of the boss''s future core..." ... "Wang Qi, has the situation been sorted out?" Arriving at Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu went straight to the office and found Wang Qi inside. He threw the bag on the sofa, strode over, and asked as he walked. Wang Qi immediately stood up, picked up the document beside him, and said respectfully: "Boss, it has been sorted out, please have a look." With that, Wang Qi held the document in both hands and presented it to Xia Yu respectfully. Xia Yu nodded slightly and didn''t say much. He took the file directly, sat down on the boss chair, and looked at it carefully. "Shasha...shasha..." Accompanied by the sound of paper rubbing when turning pages, Xia Yu''s eyes became brighter and the corners of his mouth became wider. "it is good!" Xia Yu raised his eyebrows with joy and couldn''t help but cheer. Unknowingly, the Wharf Company stock in his hand was already so much! Previously, Jiuding Securities Company secretly purchased nearly 28 million shares of Longcang Company, accounting for 28.57% of the total share capital, and costing 395 million Hong Kong dollars. This was acquired a long time ago. At that time, the funds were not enough. Leveraging ten times the financial leverage to allocate 285 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire it! Then after the establishment of the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu had a large amount of funds, and again started to buy stocks. This second large-scale secret purchase, as of yesterday, a total of 14.06 million shares have been acquired, accounting for 14.35% of the total share capital. , It cost 240 million Hong Kong dollars in total. The two add up to a 42.92% equity ratio. Then there are the 5.7 million shares acquired from HSBC Securities, accounting for 5.81% of the total share capital. In total, Xia Yu thought that for nearly half a year, he had already taken 48.73% of the Wharf stocks in his hands, a total of 47.73 million shares, which cost a total of 735 million Hong Kong dollars. With such a high equity, the equity gap from 50% is less than 1.3%. Xia Yu can now say that Wharf is his! He knows that the Land Group, which controls the current Wharf Board of Directors by UU Reading , only accounts for 13.9% of the shares. This shows how loose the equity of Wharf is. In addition to 13.9% of the shares of Land Group, Jardines Holdings also holds 5% of the shares, so the Wharf equity owned by the Jardine Consortium is 18.9%. This equity was completely crushed in front of Xia Yu! The Wharf Company can be hugged by Xia Yu at any time, depending on when he chooses to announce it! "But we have to wait a little longer. If we get more shares now, the more money we can save later!" "Presumably news of Bao Yugang should be coming soon..." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, with an expectant smile at the corner of his mouth, he thought to himself.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 389: Deceived the whole Xiangjiang (2 HSBC Headquarters, President''s Office. Bao Yugang and Shen Bi shook hands in a friendly manner and then released them. "Shen Sheng, thank you very much!" "Why should we say thank you, this is mutual benefit!" Shen Bi said with a faint smile. "Haha!" Bao Yugang smiled heartily and nodded to Shen Bi, not to see the foreign courtesy anymore. Looking at the time, worrying that Xia Yu had been waiting for a long time, Bao Yugang said to Shen Bi: "Shen Sheng, I have something to do, so let''s go first, next time we have a good drink!" "Okay, do your business first!" Shen Bi said with a faint smile, and then sent Bao Yugang out the door. After getting in the car, Bao Yugang looked at the confidential information bag in his hand and said to himself: "Presumably Xia Sheng has already waited almost, so let''s give it to him as soon as possible." ... In the office of Jiuding Securities Company, when Xia Yu was chatting with Wang Qi, the phone on the desktop suddenly rang. "Ring Ling Ling..." When Xia Yu looked at the number, he suddenly smiled expectantly and picked up the microphone. "Hey, this is Xia Yu... Bao Sheng, good morning!" "Take it? Okay, I''ll come right away, please wait a moment..." "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu said to Wang Qi with a look of expectation: "The good news is here again. I will go out first. You will watch it at the company. By the way, you can arrange it. When I come back, I will hold the news. At the press conference, remember to call Huang Xizhao from Li''s TV station, just say what I said, and arrange a live broadcast!" "understand!" Wang Qi answered solemnly. Then, Xia Yu picked up the hung suit and walked out quickly while wearing it, his heart warming gradually. Yesterday, he not only asked Liu Tianci to help him purchase stocks in the name of HSBC Securities, but he also asked Bao Yugang for help. Bao Yugang agreed without hesitation. Xia Yu''s goal is nothing else, but the 13.5% equity interest in Wharf in the hands of HSBC! The equity of Wharf is really loose, and there is no absolute controlling shareholder. The only shareholders with an equity ratio of more than 10% are the Land Group and HSBC! This is the result of continuous mergers and acquisitions or the introduction of new shareholders for dozens of years. After all, in every company merger and acquisition, when the Wharf Company cannot produce all the cash, the merger can only be done in the form of stock + cash, which will make the original shareholders of the acquired company become the shareholders of Wharf. Where do the new shareholders come from? Of course, it is the old shareholders who share the shares according to their shareholding ratios, or issue new shares. This will lead to a decline in the shareholding ratio of old shareholders with each strategic merger and the introduction of new shareholders. Although the total assets of the Wharf Company continue to expand, the shareholding ratio of shareholders has declined, and the total value of the equity has increased, but the disadvantage is that the control of the company has gradually declined. That''s why the current situation of scattered sand appeared! Among the two shareholders of Wharf Corporation that hold more than 10% of the shares, HSBC is a financial investment and does not intervene in the management and operation of the company. What HSBC needs to see is only the income each year, nothing more. Because of this situation, there will be Xia Yu''s chance! If it weren''t for such a loose situation with no leader, how could Xia Yu secretly buy more than 40% of the stock? It''s not that there are too many stocks scattered outside, and they can''t be found if they are acquired! This time, entrusting Bao Yugang to purchase the stocks in the hands of HSBC is also to be foolproof! The stock price of Wharf is now sluggish and revenue is not good. HSBC already has opinions, so as long as the price is reasonable, HSBC will still sell it. What''s more, Xia Yu entrusted Bao Yugang with the most face! Asking Bao Yugang for help is the best choice, because in Xiangjiang, if you want to say who has the closest relationship with HSBC and whose face is best for HSBC, this is undoubtedly Bao Yugang. Because Bao Yugang is a director of HSBC and the first Chinese director to join HSBC. He has been serving as a director since 1970 and has been there for more than eight years, and he also holds a part of the shares of HSBC. And HSBC is the second largest shareholder of Bao Yugang''s Global Shipping Group! This kind of relationship makes Bao Yugang and HSBC very close, both in terms of personal relations with Shen Bi and in terms of common interests. Because of this, the scene of Bao Yugang helping to acquire stocks happened. Just as Xia Yu was thinking, time passed quickly, and the car drove from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. Soon, Xia Yu came to the headquarters of the Global Shipping Group. When he got off the bus, he saw Wu Guangzheng standing in front of the company. After he saw Xia Yu, he greeted him enthusiastically. "Xia Sheng, you are here! My father is waiting in the office on the third floor." "Okay thank you!" Xia Yu shook hands with Wu Guangzheng and thanked him. Knowing that what Xia Yu was about to discuss with his father-in-law Bao Yu was urgent, Wu Guangzheng did not say much, so he took Xia Yu to the office on the third floor. "Bao Sheng, I am coming!" On the third floor, because the office door was unlocked, Xia Yu saw Bao Yugang sitting in front of the big desk in the center at a glance. Bao Yugang also happened to see Xia Yu, and immediately got up to welcome Xia Yu. Quicken the pace, said with a smile. "Haha, welcome, please sit down!" After greeting Xia Yu to sit down, Bao Yugang knew that Xia Yu was very anxious, so he didn''t say much, and directly handed Xia Yu the secret portfolio on the desktop, and Xia Yu took it immediately. "Xia Sheng, please see, this is what you want!" "Then I will take a look first!" Xia Yu was not polite with Bao Yugang, opened the portfolio with a smile and took out the stack of documents inside. Sure enough, it was the Wharf Company¡¯s equity certificate, but there was an additional equity transaction contract between HSBC and Bao Yugang! Bao Yugang didn''t even take the latter away! But let him see it clearly! Xia Yu looked up at him unexpectedly, thinking he had forgotten, but unexpectedly found Bao Yugang with a kind smile, and nodded at him without saying anything. It wasn''t that I forgot to take it away, it was meant to show him. Xia Yu didn''t say much, but looked at it calmly. There are a total of 13.23 million shares, accounting for 13.5% of the total share capital. The equity transaction contract signed by Bao Yugang and HSBC, the transfer amount is 235 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu made a mental calculation and immediately got the stock price of a single share, and found that HSBC did not sell the stock to Bao Yugang at a high premium, and the stock price was almost parity! It seems that Bao Yugang''s face is really big enough! After reading it, Xia Yu let it go. Seeing Xia Yu''s actions, Bao Yu just made a sound and said with a smile: "No problem, right?" "No!" Xia Yu immediately nodded and said. "That''s fine, let''s sign the contract, and I will transfer the equity to you." Bao Yugang said without hesitation, and once again took the prepared equity transfer contract and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and nodded and took it. It seemed that Bao Yugang was prepared intimately, and Xia Yu looked at it seriously. The equity transfer contract is very simple, except for a few basic and necessary clauses, there are no other clauses, and there are no hidden loopholes. What surprised Xia Yu was that the transaction amount on the equity transfer contract had already been written, which was exactly 235 million Hong Kong dollars! Xia Yu suddenly raised his head to look at Bao Yugang, and said unexpectedly, "Bao Sheng, the price is wrong!" Xia Yu entrusted Bao Yugang to purchase the stock on his behalf, but Bao Yugang not only bought it for 235 million Hong Kong dollars, and then resold it to Xia Yu, it was also 235 million Hong Kong dollars. He didn''t even intend to make a cent of intermediate expenses! This is completely intended to help free of charge! How can this be! It was completely beyond his expectation! Xia Yu had already thought about it in his heart and was going to let Bao Yugang redraw a contract and give him the cost he deserved. But before Xia Yu brought it up, Bao Yugang smiled and said, "How could this be wrong, it''s the price!" Bao Yugang''s meaning is obvious, he really doesn''t want to make Xia Yu''s money! "Bao Sheng, this really doesn''t work. I''m very grateful if you can help me. If you still let you work in vain, I will really have no face to meet people!" "I understand your kindness. It would be unreasonable if you don''t charge money. Otherwise, I will buy your shares for 300 million yuan!" Xia Yu said with gratitude. In his mind, if he wants to buy the stock from HSBC, even if HSBC is willing to sell it, it will have a high premium, at least over 270 million Hong Kong dollars. Who knew that Shen Bi gave Bao Yugang face so much and sold the stock to Bao Yugang at almost parity. Xia Yu offered 300 million, which is equivalent to a 30% premium of 235 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu was embarrassed when Bao Yugang gave such a face. After all, he sold the equity of Jardine Air Cargo Station to Bao Yugang, but he made Bao Yugang more than 400 million yuan in one go. Moreover, according to the original trajectory, Wharf is a major opportunity for Bao Yugang. This life was robbed by Xia Yu. Bao Yugang also wanted to help Xia Yu acquire for free. This is really... In comparison, he was embarrassed, so he simply bid 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu felt embarrassed, but Bao Yugang had his own opinions. In his opinion, Xia Yu helped him sell the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company to him, and he also offered valuable advice to guide him and helped him transform. Now he helped him acquire Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Co., Ltd. The favor is already owed. This time he helped Xia Yu buy the shares in Wharf, he didn''t spend much effort, and he would be embarrassed if he received Xia Yu''s money. It''s better to treat Xia Yu as a favor, return the favors before, and deepen the relationship with each other. It is important to know that money is priceless, but humanity is priceless! Xia Yu''s future is limitless. He has deepened his relationship with Xia Yu, and their relationship has been maintained. He may benefit more from this in the future, and Xia Yu can even help him turn the tide at a critical time! Because of this, Bao Yugang really didn''t plan to make Xia Yu''s money this time. Bao Yugang frankly refused: "Xia Sheng, if you really give me face, then sign the contract, and I have nothing to do, so I will charge your money, aren''t you hitting me in the face?" "If you really want to thank me, come and sit at my house more. Let''s have a few drinks!" Xia Yu looked at Bao Yugang and found that what he said was very sincere, and it was completely what he said in his heart. Xia Yu''s heart warmed. Now that the words were for this purpose, Xia Yu didn''t plan to push anymore. In his heart, he had already written down this favor. He was born again, his wealth was inexhaustible, and limited by capital and other factors, he couldn''t make use of it after all. "In the future, find an opportunity to give more advice to Bao Yugang, or help him a few times. People treat me with sincerity and I treat others with sincerity!" Xia Yu secretly decided. After thinking about it, Xia Yu didn''t hesitate anymore, and said loudly, "Bao Sheng, I won''t say any more thank you. I have written down this favor!" "Haha! What is unkind, please sign the contract quickly!" Bao Yugang smiled heartily and said indifferently, instead urging Xia Yu to sign the contract quickly. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and signed. Later, Xia Yu proposed to transfer the money to Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang said that he was not in a hurry, and the transfer was done within three days. After all, to avoid contract invalidation, a bank transfer slip must be provided. At Xia Yu''s request, Bao Yugang accompanied Xia Yu to the bank and transferred 235 million Hong Kong dollars to Bao Yugang''s account. At this point, the transaction is complete! Xia Yu once again won 13.1% of Wharf stocks, and his total shareholding has surged to 62.2%. He has successfully completed absolute holdings and is still more than the boss. If it can take another 4.47% of the equity, Xia Yu can hold two-thirds of the shares. According to Heung Kong''s "Company Law", it can completely control the board of directors of Wharf and automatically have a veto. At that time, the Jardine consortium is willing to honestly clear the position and withdraw. If they want to trick Xia Yu, Xia Yu can put them to death, crying and crying to withdraw. After all, it''s either vertical or horizontal, it''s all he has the final say. Even if the deer is the horse, after being cleaned up, Yihe can only pinch his nose and follow the deer as a horse! "Xia Sheng, congratulations, I wish you every success in advance!" "At that time, the Jardine Machine Group in the left hand and the Wharf in the right hand, everyone will have to respect you with a convincing voice!" Bao Yugang congratulated him, feeling very emotional. Xia Yu attacked the Jardine Consortium again and again, and now he has firmly bitten the Jardine Machine Group, and now he has the idea of ??attacking Wharf again. It seems that the success rate is also high. At the same time, he had to admire Xia Yu''s courage and ability when he calculated the two leading companies under the Jardine Consortium with more than one billion yuan! Compared with Xia Yu, he really felt that he was about to fall short of the times! Xia Yu smiled and explained: "Bao Sheng said and laughed. My family knows what happened to my family. Now I have won the Wharf at most and the Jardine Machinery Group. I have already sold it." As soon as he said this, Bao Yugang was stunned. Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t seem to be joking, he blurted out in shock and asked: "Yehe Machinery Group sold it? When did it happen?" "Just this morning, less than half an hour before I came to you, I sold it to the Keswick family." Xia Yu smiled and stated the actual situation. "hiss!" The news was too shocking, even though Bao Yu had just been accustomed to the ups and downs, he was still shocked. After all, the battle of the Jardine Machine Group is of great importance, not only Xia Yu personally, but also the overall offensive of the Nine Alliance. Now that Xia Yu has sold the shares to the Keswick family, then the Jardine Consortium will win the battle for the Jardine Machine Group. This will definitely be a serious blow to the morale of Chinese capital! "Xia Sheng, this..." Bao Yu just wanted to say something. When he saw Xia Yu''s calm and unhurried smile, he was taken aback and immediately recovered. He suddenly thought of a lot of things, his eyes opened slightly, and he was obviously shocked by what he thought of. "Xia Sheng, you are Chen Cang on Mingxiu Plank Road, and the Jardine Machine Group is just a target. Wharf is your real goal?!" Bao Yugang asked, although it was a question, but the tone was very positive Yes, my goal was Wharf from beginning to end, and the Jardine Machine Group was just a bunker to divert attention. " At this point, everything has settled. Of course, Xia Yu will not hide it, and admit it directly. "hiss¡­¡­" Bao Yugang took a deep breath again, and looked at Xia Yu like a monster, as if he wanted to know Xia Yu again. "The whole Xiangjiang was fooled by you!" Bao Yugang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was also shocked by Xia Yu''s big watch. Such a big scam, the entire Xiangjiang from the big bosses to the ordinary citizens, was deceived by Xia Yu. This method is really powerful! Seeking recommendation ticket monthly ticket support, thank you!

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 390: Ship Kings son-in-law (2 "How much did the Keswick family spend?" After refreshing his mood a little, Bao Yugang asked, he was very curious, after all, he was always paying attention to the battle between Xia Yu and the Jardine Consortium, and knew that the total market value of Jardine Machinery Group had rushed into the top ten ranks of Xiangjiang Enterprises. Xia Yu''s share of equity is so large, the selling price will never be low! "Single share of 112 Hong Kong dollars, a total of 1.51 billion Hong Kong dollars were sold, including 30% of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group¡¯s equity and 1.36 billion in cash. The money I just transferred to you was just taken from the Jardine Consortium in the morning. of." Xia Yu faintly smiled and confessed that this situation cannot be hidden, and it will be exposed sooner or later, and now it will not affect Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang shook his head in admiration. He didn''t know what words to use to describe his feelings at this time. In the end, he could only give Xia Yu a thumbs up to show what he was thinking. By Bao Yugang''s age, there are very few things that can make him gloomy, but a few days in the morning, he was shocked by Xia Yu three times in a row. One can imagine how deeply Xia Yu touched him. For a long time, Bao Yugang sighed with infinite emotion: "Xia Sheng, I have admired many people in my life, but until today, I have discovered that the person I admire the most is you. Nothing else. For you, I have completely convinced Lao Bao! " "Haha, Baosheng, you''re holding it up, I''m embarrassed to talk about it." Hearing Bao Yugang''s heartfelt words, although Xia Yu was very happy in his heart, he did not show it. Instead, he spoke modestly. This kind of performance made Bao Yugang admire even more. At this age, he was triumphant and not arrogant. It was really rare, and he was indeed a rare ghost in a century. "By the way, did you tell Lao Huo and Li Zhaoji about the news?" Bao Yugang asked suddenly. "Not yet. I just completed the transaction with the Keswick family and returned to the company. I received a call from you and rushed over. I didn''t have time to tell them about it." Xia Yu said, he knew Bao Yugang was caring and reminding him. Bao Yugang nodded slightly, and thought for a while and said, "That''s fine. With their abilities, they won''t be surprised by the news." "Now you have taken the Wharf again. Generally speaking, you sold the shares of the Jardine Machinery Group to the Keswick family, which is a good thing for us. After all, the Jardine Consortium did not have much funds, and now it is consuming. With their 1.35 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, most of this money must have been borrowed by Jardines." "If Jardine wants to block our actions, it will be difficult!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile. He also thought of this. This is why he didn''t rush to tell Li Jiacheng and others the news. Even if the Keswick family announces the victory of the Jardine Machine Group battle, it will only be arrogant for a while, and in the end, the backbone of the Wharf will be broken again by the battle for Wharf. He was slapped first and then slapped in the face. This would have a greater blow to the morale of the Jardine Consortium! In addition, as Bao Yugang said, this also helped Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng and others consume the funds of the Jardine Consortium, which can reduce the difficulty and resistance for them to acquire their respective targets. "Meeting you, the Keswick family has really reached the blood mold for eight lifetimes, and it will definitely be played by you, haha!" As if thinking of the face of his old rival Old John after learning the news, Bao Yugang couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled. "Dad, something happened!" While Xia Yu was chatting with Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzheng walked in slightly hastily and blurted out. Just after speaking, Wu Guangzheng''s expression was a little strange when he saw Xia Yu was still there, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes looked a little strange at Xia Yu. Seeing his son-in-law hesitating to speak, Bao Yugang raised his brow and glanced at Xia Yu. Xia Yu thought it was something confidential, so he nodded to Bao Yugang and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, Bao Yugang said directly to Wu Guangzheng: "Let''s talk about it, Xia Yu is not an outsider, what can be inconvenient to say." As soon as he said this, Xia Yu was inconvenient to leave, and swallowed what he wanted to say again. Based on Bao Yugang''s understanding of Wu Guangzheng, he naturally understood that what Wu Guangzheng was about to say was related to Xia Yu, which could be seen in Wu Guangzheng''s eyes. Presumably Xia Yu can also feel it, so let Wu Guangzheng speak it out, so as to save Wu Guang from leaving a bad impression in Xia Yu''s heart. Hearing the words of his father-in-law, Wu Guangzheng nodded, and then said: "Just now I got the news that the Keswick family held a huge press conference and announced that it had bought all the shares in the Jardine Machine Group in Xia Sheng''s hands and won the battle. " "And also issued a serious warning to us, declaring that our action is absolutely impossible to succeed, and the Jardine Consortium will fight back to the end!" After speaking in one breath, Wu Guangzheng also subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu and his father-in-law Bao Yugang. It was just this look that made Wu Guangzheng mutter in his heart, feeling very strange. Because when he wanted to come, the news was absolutely serious, and it was Xia Yu who caused all this. Fortunately, his father-in-law Bao Yugang was still trying to help Xia Yu, but Xia Yu sold his father-in-law and others. In his opinion, this was completely betrayal! The situation is very bad. But I didn''t expect to see them now, but father-in-law Bao Yugang and Xia Yu didn''t change their faces, but showed smiles. Yes, just a smile! It''s just that this smile seems a little weird! "What''s the matter? Did Xia Yu already tell his father-in-law about this?" An idea flashed through Wu Guangzheng''s mind. Seeing that his son-in-law was very troubled, he was obviously thinking about it, Bao Yugang laughed and explained his confusion: "Xia Sheng has already told me about this. There is nothing to worry about. The Jardine consortium will not be happy for long." Wu Guangzheng was confused and still very confused. Seeing that Wu Guangzheng hadn''t figured it out, Bao Yugang smiled, looked at Xia Yu, and asked Xia Yu if he wanted to talk to Wu Guangzheng. Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Bao Yugang knew a few words to Wu Guangzheng, "Wharf!" "The Wharf?" Wu Guangzheng looked puzzled and muttered again, wondering why his father-in-law mentioned this company. I looked at Bao Yugang and Xia Yu again, and found that his father-in-law was looking at him expectantly, the same look he used to cultivate and test him. "Is this testing me?" A thought flashed through Wu Guangzheng''s heart, and he fell into deep thought. After a while, just when Bao Yu was about to be disappointed, Wu Guangzheng''s eyes lit up, he raised his head suddenly, and blurted out: "Sounds against the west? Is Xia Sheng''s real target the Wharf? The Yihe Machine Group is just a scam? " Seeing his son-in-law finally figured it out, Bao Yugang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That''s right!" "hiss¡­¡­" Seeing his father-in-law''s confirmation, Wu Guangzheng''s eyes were round and he took a breath, and looked at Xia Yu with a faint smile like a ghost. Seeing the shocked look of his son-in-law, Bao Yugang felt very interesting, and even thought divergently, whether he looked like this just now. "Ring Ling Ling..." Just then, the phone on the desk rang quickly. Bao Yugang gave Xia Yu an apologetic look. He walked over to check the number, and understood the intention of the caller. Thinking, he answered the phone: "Hey, this is Bao Yugang, Lao Huo, good morning!" "Old Bao, something has happened. Have you watched TV? The Jardine Consortium has already taken the shares in Xia Sheng''s hands. I called his company just now, but the line is busy and has not been connected. I don''t know what the situation is, no matter what Xia Sheng wants To do this, we must prepare early." Huo Yingdong''s some heavy words came over the phone. "Haha!" Hearing what Huo Yingdong said, Bao Yu just laughed and made Huo Yingdong on the other end of the phone frown. I don''t know what''s so good about it. When is this all, don''t worry, just have fun! When Huo Yingdong was puzzled, he heard Bao Yugang say: "Old Huo, don''t worry, this is not a bad thing." "It''s not a bad thing? Is there any secret in it?" Huo Yingdong''s mind turned quickly, and the words passed into Bao Yugang''s ears through the microphone. "It''s up to Xia Sheng to tell you about this. He is right next to me. I asked him for something, otherwise he would have told you already, and you won''t worry about it." Bao Yugang explained that by the way he kindly excused Xia Yu. After speaking, Bao Yugang took the microphone and handed it to Xia Yu who came over, and said in a low voice, "It''s about the Yihe machine." Xia Yuming understood, thanked him, and put the microphone to his ear. "Huo Sheng, I''m Xia Yu, good morning! I''m sorry, I didn''t have time to inform you, it was my fault. I will apologize for everyone at a dinner next time." Xia Yu was the first to admit his mistake and dispelled Huo Yingdong''s possible unhappiness. "It''s okay, you tell me what''s going on, I''m so curious, like a cat scratching." Huo Yingdong said jokingly, his mood has become calm. From when Bao Yu asked Xia Yu to answer the phone, he knew that this was not what Yihe claimed, there should be inside stories he didn''t know, which made him very curious. "That¡¯s how it happened. I sold the stock to the Keswick family this morning and consumed more than one billion of their cash. My goal is not the Jardine Machine Group. Don¡¯t worry, the Keswick family will be happy. After I go back next time, they are absolutely dumbfounded!" Xia Yu explained carefully. "Not the Jardine Machine Group, what is that?" Huo Yingdong was taken aback by Xia Yu''s words, shook his head and put aside the billions of cash, grabbing the key points and asking. "It''s Wharf, I have already done it!" Xia Yu said into the microphone without concealing it. Then, after listening to the microphone there was a long silence, and then Huo Yingdong''s somewhat hoarse but unshakeable voice came: "Xia Sheng, admire!" Xia Yu smiled indifferently, and said again into the microphone: "Huo Sheng, I have to rush back later. It is not convenient. I would like to trouble you to tell others. But except for us, don''t disclose it to the outside world. I need to notify. Only when the TV station arranges a press conference can it achieve the greatest public opinion effect." "I understand, then you should be busy, I will inform them, so as not to worry about them, haha!" Huo Yingdong smiled understandingly. "Let¡¯s do this first, and say hello to Lao Bao for me!" The last sound was very loud. Originally, telephones in this era had poor noise cancellation effects, and sound leakage was serious. In addition, Huo Yingdong deliberately said loudly, which caused Bao Yugang to hear clearly and couldn¡¯t bear it. She shook her head and smiled, seemingly amused by Huo Yingdong''s bold temperament. Hung up the phone, Xia Yu bid farewell to Bao Yugang: "Bao Sheng, I will go back and prepare first." "Well, your business matters!" Bao Yugang said with understanding. "By the way, Baosheng, I must wait until I announce the news, the Jardine consortium will definitely be in a mess. You will see if there is a chance then." Xia Yu reminded kindly. Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Thank you, I will not miss it." "I''ll give it to you!" "No need, I just go out by myself." Despite Xia Yu''s resignation several times, Bao Yugang enthusiastically sent Xia Yu downstairs with Wu Guangzheng to the car in front of the company building. "Then Baosheng, Wu Sheng, I''ll go first, see you next time!" Shaking hands with Bao Yugang again to bid farewell, Xia Yu got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved until the car started to leave. After watching Xia Yu''s car leave, Bao Yugang retracted his gaze and said to Wu Guangzheng, who was still restless beside him, "How do you feel, how far is it from Xia Sheng?" Wu Guangzheng returned to his senses and said with a bitter smile: "It''s incomparable, the gap is too big, bold, amazing, meticulous thinking, outstanding ability, I... I''m far from it!" Hearing Wu Guangzheng¡¯s evaluation, Bao Yugang nodded slightly, patted his son-in-law¡¯s shoulder, and sighed: ¡°Xia Sheng is indeed a genius of heaven, with old methods. I don¡¯t necessarily match him, and I don¡¯t know if he is How did you learn it." "Maybe I''m really old, I don''t understand the world of the child prodigy! But existence is reasonable. From ancient times to the present, there are always individuals who are destined to leave a dazzling brilliance in an era, even if time passes by, it will not fade." "Ancient Ganluo, Lu Buwei, Zhuge Kongming, etc. are like this." "It is normal for one to appear in this era, but it''s just that many people are destined to be under him!" "However, it is a great blessing for people like him to be with him. It must be understood that the rise is not necessarily achieved by hard work alone. Sometimes knowing how to use the situation, discover and seize the opportunity is more effective than working hard." "Look at Xia Sheng, how long it takes to catch up with the accumulation of his father and others for half a lifetime, and it will be a matter of time before he surpasses us. You can also see the way he rises, although strong ability is a key aspect. , But on the other hand, is it not because he is good at seizing opportunities and grasping the situation?" "He has turned playing with the situation into an art. I can''t compare to him at this point. You''ve seen his overwhelming handwriting many times, and you should understand it." "Thinking more and learning more from him will be beneficial to your growth!" Wu Guangzheng nodded his head repeatedly to indicate that he had remembered, and was shocked because he had never seen his father-in-law express so much emotion for so many years. Seeing Wu Guangzheng listening, Bao Yugang nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that he was worried about saying too much and thus hit Wu Guangzheng. He patted Wu Guangzheng on the shoulder and encouraged: "But you shouldn''t be arrogant and put aside Xia Sheng as a ghost. In my opinion, Hong Kong and Macao Among all the young people of the same generation in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, you can rank first, not necessarily worse than others." "You are still young, and there is still a lot of room for growth. For my father, I hope that one day, your achievements can surpass me, don''t let me down!" Bao Yugang said earnestly, and his words were full of the ardent expectations and blessings of an elder for his children. Wu Guangzheng''s eyes were hot, and he nodded heavily and said, "Dad, don''t worry, I will never let you down!" "Ok!" Bao Yugang showed a kindly satisfied smile, patted Wu Guangzheng''s shoulder twice again, then turned and walked inside.

Chapter 391: Stealing chickens won’t cause eclipse rice (five thousand four hundred words big) Nomura Securities Xiangjiang Branch. At this time, Nomura Securities, Daiwa Securities and Goldman Sachs Group are conducting tripartite negotiations. The goal of the negotiations is the equity of the Jardine Machine Group in the hands of the two major island country securities companies. The progress of the negotiations is nearing completion. Because the possible benefits involved are too great, the night will be long and dreamy. The negotiation is at the highest level from the beginning, and James Richard is personally responsible. "Tuk tuk!" At this moment, a slightly rapid knock on the door sounded, and several people in the room had a conversation. Keisuke Takahashi was dissatisfied. He remembered that he had told him that this negotiation is very important and no one should bother. However, he was not stupid after all, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, apologized to James Richard and others, and then said in a deep voice: "Please come in!" "squeak¡­¡­" As the door opened, everyone in the house was taken aback when someone was revealed. I saw a manager of Nomura Securities appear at the door, but his expression was very heavy, his eyes looking at Keisuke Takahashi were full of anxiety, and he did not consider the issue of respect and inferiority, and directly hooked at Keisuke Takahashi. Motioned him out. Keisuke Takahashi frowned, then stood up and bowed slightly to James Richard and Taro Ishikawa, and apologized: "I''m sorry, the company may be in a hurry. I''ll go out to deal with it first. Please wait a moment." "Please!" "Thank you!" After Keisuke Takahashi went out, Limala led the manager and subordinates to the edge of the corridor and asked with a serious expression, "What''s the matter?" "President, it''s not good. Just now the Keswick family held a press conference. All the shares of the Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund have been acquired by them!" The manager''s subordinate finished speaking in one breath, and then quietly looked at Keisuke Takahashi, waiting for his instructions. "What? Are you sure?" Keisuke Takahashi''s face changed instantly, his eyebrows were erected, his eyes fixed on his subordinates. This news is too important. If it is true, he must make a decision immediately! Although Keisuke Takahashi''s expression was very scary, the manager subordinates mustered up the courage and nodded their heads: "I''m sure, the TVB live broadcast just now was absolutely not wrong!" "stupid!" To confirm the answer again, Takahashi Keisuke couldn''t help yelling, his heart was messed up. "call!" He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "No, I signed the contract with James Richard while he didn''t know the situation. If he knew it, the current price would not be sold at all." Thinking of this, Takahashi Keisuke felt anxious. "Pay attention, if someone from the Goldman Sachs Group comes, you can try to hold it back and don''t let him come in and disturb us, understand?" Keisuke Takahashi quickly gave orders in an undoubted tone. The manager''s subordinates understood Takahashi''s intentions and immediately raised their heads and nodded: "Understand!" Time is urgent, Keisuke Takahashi stopped talking nonsense and walked directly to the meeting room. When he entered again, there was still a look of helplessness on his face. "Sorry, there was an order from the Tokyo headquarters to go back as soon as possible." Keisuke Takahashi explained helplessly. James Richard and Ishikawa Taro were a little surprised, Ishikawa Taro asked directly: "Then now?" He also took a look at James Richard, and it was obvious whether the negotiation should continue. "Mr. James, how about it? We stepped back and traded at 105 Hong Kong dollars." Keisuke Takahashi said as he walked, when he turned his back to Ishikawa Taro, his back was still making a gesture, which happened to be seen by Ishikawa Taro. Ishikawa Taro was taken aback, and then he recovered his peace, but he became surprised in his heart. But out of trust in his allies, Ishikawa Taro chose to believe. He nodded to James Richard who was looking at him: "Well, I have no objection." I bought it at a price of 105 Hong Kong dollars, and there is a profit of 15 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is also acceptable! James Richard figured it out in his heart, and didn''t want to drag it any longer, so he nodded and agreed: "OK!" "Then let''s sign the contract first!" Keisuke Takahashi said, and immediately beckoned to the employee waiting next to him. The employee took out the prepared contract with the unfilled amount from the bag, filled in the amount, signed it quickly, and then passed it to Taro Ishikawa and Ishikawa. After Taro signed, he gave it to Keisuke Takahashi. Keisuke Takahashi accepted the contract and looked at it carefully. Seeing James Richard immersed himself in the contract, Keisuke Takahashi became anxious, his brows gradually frowned, and he glanced at the door from time to time, praying for the people of Goldman Sachs to come slowly. Takahashi Keisuke''s strange performance was completely seen by Ishikawa Taro. He asked Keisuke Takahashi with his eyes, and Keisuke Takahashi squinted for James Richard, then slightly shook his head at Ishikawa Taro. This kind of performance made Ishikawa Taro''s heart burst, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. "Mr. James, don''t worry, there are only a few terms. We dare not cheat you." Keisuke Takahashi said with a smile, and urged calmly. "Hmm! Used to it!" James Richard said with a light smile, he is already a veteran, he can understand such a simple contract without a lawyer, and it is natural to know if he is stuck. "no problem!" After speaking, James Richard picked up the pen, took off the cap, and signed it after finding the correct position. Seeing James Richard''s actions, Keisuke Takahashi lifted his heart, couldn''t help holding his breath, staring at the pen tip James Richard was holding, and shouting in anticipation: " Sign! Sign down!" God always seemed to like to play with people. At this moment, there was a quarrel at the door, even if the door was closed, Keisuke Takahashi''s face changed suddenly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. James Richard''s movements couldn''t help but he looked out the door subconsciously. Keisuke Takahashi quickly recovered his calm, and said apologetically, "Mr. James, I''m sorry, our company is not strictly managed. It is estimated that employees have quarreled again. This is a common occurrence." "Oh, it seems that you still need to strengthen management!" This explanation barely made sense, and Keisuke Takahashi was not seen when his face changed, so James Richard did not think about other things, and continued to lower his head to sign. "Boom boom boom! boom boom! boom boom boom..." Just as James Richard was just writing a few letters, there was a rapid and scattered knock on the door. From the sound, we can tell that the knocker was very powerful. "President, stop negotiations! President!" At the same time, someone shouted in English from the door. "It''s Jones? Why did he come?" Hearing this familiar voice, James Richard couldn''t help but raise his brow, and then looked suspiciously at the stiff expression of Takahashi Keisuke. At this time, James Richard came to memorize, he immediately put down his pen and stood up to open the door. Unexpectedly, the door was opened. Jones saw James Richard and the contract in front of him. He immediately shouted anxiously: "President, this contract cannot be signed!" "Baga, it''s over! It would be nice if he came a few minutes later!" Keisuke Takahashi closed his eyes in despair. In this situation, everything is too late. He can''t help but regret now. He shouldn''t have been with James Richard for so long before. If he stepped back and agreed to him, the contract would have been signed now. The risk is gone. "I didn''t sign, what''s the matter?" James Richard asked sternly. "Just now the Jardine Consortium held a press conference, and all the shares of the Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Jiuding Securities have been acquired by them!" Johnston breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the contract had not been signed, and then replied. "Hat?" Because of too much accident, James Richard spit out. When he saw Jones nodding his head again for confirmation, James Richard''s face became very ugly. Not only because the pie of hundreds of millions of dollars flew, but also because he thought of the strangeness of Takahashi Keisuke just now, he looked at Keisuke Takahashi like a knife. "By the way, President, the people from Nomura Securities have been dragging me just now and don''t want me to come in and report this to you!" Jones said bitterly, looking at Keisuke Takahashi angrily, as if he wanted to go up and beat him. it is as expected! Hearing what Jones said, James Richard''s face was hot, and his heart was furious. Obviously, this is what the people from Nomura Securities reported to Takahashi Keisuke just now, but Keisuke Takahashi lied to him that it was the Tokyo headquarters that asked him to go back. And he, who had been biting and not letting go, immediately backed down and urged him to sign the contract, just to make a time difference, sell him the stock without knowing the news, and cheat him! The little devil has sinister intentions, so beware! "Kisuke Takahashi, shouldn''t you explain?" James Richard looked down at the signed contract with a few letters, and became more angry. He grabbed it and tore it to pieces, smashed it heavily on the table, and then asked Keisuke Takahashi in a cold voice. "Mr. James, I''m sorry, I also just learned about this..." Keisuke Takahashi smiled and wanted to explain, but just halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by James Richard without giving face. "Snapped!" "Do you treat me as a fool?" Seeing Keisuke Takahashi still trying to argue, James Richard felt even more humiliated. He slapped him heavily on the table, roaring, venting his anger. Originally, his status is higher than that of Takahashi Keisuke, and the United States is the master of the island country, James Richard''s mentality naturally feels superior. But it''s this dwarf he looks down on, dare to play him, this is definitely a provocation! James Richard glanced like a knife, glanced at Ishikawa Taro, who was stunned, and looked at Keisuke Takahashi, his eyes were cold. "No one can provoke Goldman Sachs without paying the price!" "let''s go!" Leaving a word, James Richard did not hesitate to take Jones and walk outside. "James first..." Keisuke Takahashi opened his mouth and wanted to struggle again, but he was ignored by James Richard. When Jones passed by Keisuke Takahashi, he gave him a ferocious look, and then followed James Richard away. When James Richard and others disappeared from sight, Ishikawa Taro, who had been silent for a long time, said, comforting the ugly Takahashi Keisuke: "Takahashi-kun, if you want to start a little bit, I still have to find a way to get the stock. Dispose of it." Taro Ishikawa said it lightly. After all, he didn''t know that James Richard would not find him if he found the place back. He would only target Nomura Securities. "Hey¡­¡­" Keisuke Takahashi sighed with a bitter expression on his face. He did not succeed in the calculation this time, and he did not make any money. Instead, he offended James Richard. He was definitely losing money. If in the days to come, the Goldman Sachs Group kept asking him trouble to fight against them, Nomura Securities would definitely not have a good life, and may even suffer heavy losses. Shaking his head, Keisuke Takahashi cleared up a little, he did not forget what matters most now. With Jiuding Securities selling its shares to the Keswick family, the Jardine Machinery Group''s battle for victory has been divided, and the ceiling of the stock price has dropped in a short time. The stock price must have stopped now, and it is even likely to fall. Because other speculators will definitely panic and clear their positions. If the Jardine Consortium does not take full advantage of the deal, the stock price will inevitably fall. So, as Ishikawa Taro said, let''s quickly find a way to sell at a higher price, otherwise if it falls back to the original price, he will definitely die in distress. If the stock price stays the same, he still doesn''t feel much, but the most unacceptable thing in life is to get it and then lose it, or just a little bit! After experiencing great ups and downs in a short period of time, the bitterness and complexity in my heart cannot be described in words. "Takahashi-san, time is urgent, I will go back first!" Ishikawa Taro opened his mouth, still don''t know how to comfort Takahashi Keisuke, he was uncomfortable staying, it is better to go back to deal with the stock as soon as possible. "Ishikawa-kun, please!" Seeing Ishikawa Taro leaving in a hurry, Takahashi Keisuke sighed again, then healed his mood and went to think of a way to deal with the stock. On the way back, James Richard, who was in a bad mood, straightened his thoughts again, wondering if Xia Yu had already arrived today. It''s a pity that this suspicion is destined to get no answer, and the agreement signed at the time did not expressly stipulate that Xia Yu was not allowed to sell the stock. James Richard had no choice but to accept reality. Later, Xia Yu took the initiative to approach him and offered to give him 5 million Hong Kong dollars for hard work, and also explained it. At least it made sense for the face, James Richard had no choice but to think about it as an accident. But the anger and depression in his heart were not let go. Naturally, the Nomura Securities who wanted to pit him became a target. In the days to come, Goldman Sachs did not find trouble with Nomura Securities. Of course, this is a story. ... anyway. Although Old John had already prepared and arranged manpower and funds to stabilize the stock price, because of the fact that Old John arranged TVB for live broadcast, the news spread too quickly and the impact was also rapidly expanding. There is no fool who can play finance, because fools have been drowned long ago. So after learning the news of "Stock God has lost", almost all institutions and investors panicked, because everyone knows that the victory has been divided, the dust has settled, and the share price of Jardine Machinery Group has reached its peak! The institutions that had followed the trend to raise the price immediately withdrew all the purchase orders, but Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund have long stopped placing orders. The only remaining on the market is the purchase orders arranged by the Jardine Consortium. However, there are too many institutions and stockholders who want to clear their positions and flee. A large number of previously unavailable stocks have been smashed out like no money. The buying orders of the Jardine Consortium are instantly filled, leaving a lot of selling orders on the market. . The stock price fluctuated suddenly, and because some institutions and investors had a strong desire to flee, they kept lowering prices and wanted to escape first, so the share price of Jardine Machinery Group began to decline. Seeing this scene, Old John suddenly became anxious and fell into a dilemma. Stabilize the stock price, knowing that such a high stock price will cost a lot of money to take the order. Under the situation that the Jardine Machinery Group has been absolutely controlled, it is completely unnecessary! But if the stock price is not stable, the consequences will be more serious! After all, only a small part of the funds spent on the acquisition of Xia Yu¡¯s stock was its own liquid funds, and most of the others were mortgaged from bank loans. The mortgage is nothing else, it includes the shares of the Jardine Machinery Group that they originally own! If the share price of the Jardine Machinery Group plummeted, the loss would have been great. After all, I didn''t know that the year of the monkey could rise to this level again. In addition, the value of the stock has shrunk, and the bank will definitely not do it, saying that it must not ask the Jardine Consortium to take out more valuable collateral and resign the mortgage loan contract. In addition, the most important thing is that if the stock price cannot be stabilized, the momentum gathered by the victory of the Jardine Consortium will be lost as the stock price plummets. How can this be done! Therefore, even though he knew that stabilizing the stock price was very costly, Old John could only grit his teeth, hoping to use a powerful handwriting to appease the mood of institutions and stockholders so that they would never flee! Of course, winning the battle for the Jardine Machine Group is not without good, that is, the attacks by Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng and others seem to cast a shadow. The stock market, which was full of flames, suddenly extinguished and fell into a weird calm. In the eyes of Old John, it should be Bao Yugang and other Chinese investors who had disagreements. Now they are hesitating and choosing to wait and see. But at this point, Old John really thought wrong, because he didn''t even know that Xia Yu had played a real backstop! Not only did Bao Yugang, Guo Desheng and others not disagree, but because they were more united after learning about Xia Yu''s news, they planned to swallow a large number of shares again in this season. After all, because of the negative impact, the stock prices of the companies targeted by Bao Yugang and others have also fluctuated. With the fall of the "stock **** Xia Yu", the main force of the alliance, some institutions and individuals took a pessimistic attitude towards the brief alliance of Bao Yugang and others. Seeing that the shareholders and institutions that originally held the Jardine Machinery Group are now panicking and rushing to flee. These people have lingering fears. Some non-greedy investors and institutions have chosen to accept it when they see it, and they have lost their holdings. come out. That''s it, Bao Yugang and others. They had already prepared for these shares immediately, and on the other side they also vigorously contacted those shareholders, trying to take this opportunity to take the equity in their hands. Just as the undercurrent was surging, a piece of news was like a depth bomb, blasting the calmer public opinion on Hong Kong Island again. "Jiuding Securities Company held a press conference, stock **** Xia Yu wants to announce heavy news!" The stock **** Xia Yu, who was on the cusp of the storm, unexpectedly jumped out! And the momentum is so huge! What is Xia Yu going to do! Everyone is curious! The masses of media quickly flooded into Jiuding Securities Company! And Old John also got the news It''s just that there was a bad premonition in Old John''s heart. He had a frightening feeling that something very unfavorable to him was about to happen. Because Xia Yu couldn''t hold a press conference just to sell him the stock, Xia Yu would only fight against him, and couldn''t help him! "Quickly, send someone to the scene immediately and notify me as soon as I hear the news!" Old John''s face was solemn, and he immediately gave orders to Niubijian. A news from Xia Yu dilutes Old John''s joy of victory, and even cast a lingering shadow in his heart. It can be said that the rain is coming and the wind is all over the building!

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 392: Do you think I am scared? (2 Because Xia Yu, who was in a whirlpool, took the initiative to hold a press conference and attracted the attention of all Xiangjiang people, even the stock market suddenly fell into a strange calm, enough to witness Xia Yu''s influence. Regardless of whether it is a stockholder or a financial institution, because of their vital interests, they don''t dare to go crazy anymore. They want to see the situation clearly before doing anything, for fear of being tricked or missing the opportunity, so everyone wants to get first-hand information. For a time, it can be said that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and the undercurrent under the already turbulent Xiangjiang River surged. Suddenly, a message circulated from Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. that this press conference will be broadcast live by TV stations throughout the whole process, and Li''s TV station was designated as the exclusive live broadcast platform. As soon as the news came out, the people who followed the matter immediately turned on the TV and chose the channel of Li''s TV station, waiting for the press conference to arrive. Due to the fact that there are too many people who follow, although it has not yet entered the time of the press conference, at the same time period, Li''s TV station''s viewing market share has rushed to the first place in Hong Kong, and its share is still growing rapidly. This shows the effect of this press conference. The impact is far-reaching. ... In the hustle and bustle, a temporary stage was quickly set up at the entrance of Jiuding Securities. Although Xia Yu, Wang Qi and others did not come out, the stage was already surrounded by people, including media reporters, and there were also many people eating melons. In addition to this, there are reporters from all over Hong Kong Island on the road towards Jiuding Securities. In front of the press conference stage, an open space was set aside. The open space was surrounded by a cordon. The security personnel of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. waited around the cordon to block everyone out. The only entrance left was an inspector. , As long as you bring a press card and other things to prove your identity, you can enter. When everyone was waiting anxiously, a sharp-eyed reporter exclaimed: "Here is here, the stock **** is coming out." As he exclaimed, everyone followed his line of sight and saw Xia Yu leading Wang Qi and others out of the company. For a while, the crowd was in a commotion, and many people subconsciously wanted to squeeze forward, but they were stopped by security personnel who were always on alert, accompanied by warnings from security personnel from time to time. "Everyone keep quiet! When will you be quiet, and when will the press conference begin." Wang Qi took the lead on stage and said loudly with the microphone. The commotion stopped as soon as he said this, everyone looked at him in unison, not daring to make any noise. Wang Qi nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the boss Xia Yu who was already on stage. I saw Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then took Wang Qi and a group of high-level people to sit down. "I am very glad that everyone is here to show their faces, and I would like to express my sincere thanks!" Xia Yu took the microphone and said with a smile. "Papa Papa..." Whether it is active or passive, there was a warm applause immediately off the court. After all, it was the boss who held the press conference in person, and of course their ghostly reporters would give it to this face. And for such a long time, everyone knows that Xia Yu rarely appeared in front of the public on his own initiative, and Xia Yu basically did not attend the press conferences in the past, and the general manager of each company came forward. I don¡¯t know how many reporters are very excited now. After all, Xia Yu is not only a financial tycoon, he was a media tycoon before. It is the existence of reporters who need to admire them. If Xia Yu announces the recruitment of reporters, there will definitely be more than three. Two out of every reporters are willing to change jobs. "Not much gossip, let''s go directly to the topic!" "Now, I announce a news to the public!" Xia Yu''s words were concise and concise, and his expression became solemn. Below, all the reporters came secretly, watching Xia Yu attentively, and the camera in his hand was turned on all the way, for fear of missing a bit. "I declare!" "Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund jointly hold 62.2% of the shares of Heungjiang Wharf Company..." "Wow... my god..." "I lost, something big happened!" ... Before Xia Yu''s words were finished, there was a tumult on the court, and they were all stunned by Xia Yu''s news, flashing lights one after another. Despite the hustle and bustle off the court, Xia Yu remained unmoved and finished speaking. Fortunately, the announcement was not long, and the sound was blessed to suppress the noise. ... In the Jardine Recreation Building, when he learned that Li''s TV station could broadcast live, Old John turned on the TV and waited quietly. It''s just that although his face was calm, the two brothers Henry and Charles sitting beside him could still feel the anxiety and anxiety in his father''s heart. Not to mention their father, the two of them were also heavy at this time, with worry and anxiety flashing in their eyes. Soon, the scene of the press conference appeared on the TV. "Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund jointly hold 62.2% of the shares of Heungjiang Wharf Company..." What Xia Yu said in his mouth came out clearly through the TV speakers. It was just that after hearing the news, whether it was Old John, Niu Bijian, the two old men, or the Henry brothers, they all stood up with a scream. Charles, with the most unstable mentality, blurted out in a panic: "How is it possible!" His round eyes and a dull expression of disbelief showed that he was completely shocked. "The Wharf!" Old John only felt that his eyes were full of stars, and his mouth was muttering, an extremely depressed feeling surged into his heart, as if the sky was falling. The result of an upsurge of breath is that people easily faint. For example, Old John is in this state now. Seeing Old John''s body swaying, he fell backwards, so that Henry and the others immediately reached out to help him, and shouted anxiously: "Father, father..." "Call an ambulance!" Just as Charles and others jumped anxiously, after more than ten seconds, Old John recovered and said in a hoarse voice: "I''m fine, you don''t need to go to the hospital." "Father, why don''t you go take a look..." Henry said with a worried look. "I said nothing, there are more important things now!" Old John flatly refused, and looked at the TV subconsciously. "Stock god! Stock god! Stock god!..." At this moment, it seemed to be shocked. I don¡¯t know who first shouted a word of genius, and then everyone shouted in unison. The whole conference was full of neat and loud cheers. Even if it was only through the TV, Old John and others could Feel a shocking atmosphere. It''s just that, to them, this atmosphere is like a knife, constantly stabbing their wounds back and forth. "father¡­¡­" Seeing Old John clenching his fists and clenching his teeth, his old face burst into blue veins, and his eyes fixed on Xia Yu''s smiling face on the TV screen. Although Henry was also angry, he was more concerned. The father could not bear it, so he called out with a worried expression on his face. Not only Henry, but even Niu Bijian and Charles looked at him worriedly, for fear that he could not stand the stimulation and would really faint. "Hi...whee..." Old John closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then spit out a long long, opening his turbid eyes again. At this moment, there was still a trace of muddy color in his eyes, and the fierce light and evil spirit were constantly shining. "Father, what should I do now?" Charles Keswick asked anxiously. Old John raised his hand to make a pause, and slowly said, "It''s too late, let''s finish reading it!" As he said, watching the reporter''s interview with Xia Yu on the TV screen closely, he wanted to know more about the situation so that he could deal with it easily. It''s just that no matter what Xia Yu answered, Old John was expressionless, his eyes fixed on him, motionless like a stone. For a long time, Old John turned off the TV and looked at the people who were watching him closely. Finally, he looked at Niu Bijian and asked: "How many shares do we own in Wharf?" Because of the information collected, Niu Bijian still has a deep impression. He replied without hesitation: "We control 18.9%, of which Jardine Holdings directly holds 5% and Land Group indirectly holds 13.9%." As soon as these words came out, Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick, who were listening, immediately had two words in their minds: "It''s over!" Even Old John closed his eyes in despair. It is indeed over. Like this shareholding situation, Wharf is no longer saved, and there is no need to save it. Jardine Holdings is the absolute holding of the Keswick family, but the Land Group is not. The Land Group is also a listed company and the largest real estate company in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1889 by Sir Paul Chater and James Johnston Keswick. It has been 89 years since. After so many years, the Keswick family¡¯s shareholding ratio has dropped to a very low level. Although the Keswick family is the largest shareholder, the shareholding ratio is only over 20%. The board of directors is not owned by the Keswick family. In a word. The Land Group holds a 13.5% stake in Wharf, and the difficulty of the Keswick family¡¯s operations has more than doubled after one level. Even if they are allocated proportionally, the share of Wharf stocks belonging to the Keswick family in the Land Group is only about 4%. And one thing is very important. It seems that although Wharf is a part of the Jardine Consortium and its position can be said to be in the core position, it does not have the shareholding ratio that matches the core position. Now it has been taken away. The Serk family¡¯s direct loss may not seem to be much, but the impact on the Jardine consortium will be great. The Jardine consortium is now controlled by the Keswick family, and the influence on the Jardine consortium will eventually be transferred to the Keswick family, affecting other aspects. The relationship here is indeed more complicated. The companies within the consortium are intertwined, and the various relationships cannot be explained in a single word. In short, this time, the Wharf was seized, which hit the Jardine Consortium and even the Keswick family too much! Originally worked hard to calculate, because the momentum gathered by the Jardine Machine Group was shattered because of the tolerance, the blow was even more serious. The power was no longer enough to deter the wolves. The overturning crisis of the Jardine Group was coming soon! "Chairman, this is the end of the matter. There is no way to take Wharf back. We can only recover some losses as much as possible. I suggest that we hold the Wharf stocks firmly, even if we cannot sell them later. Sell ??it at a high price!" Niu Bi insisted. "But now they hold more than 60% of the shares, which is only a few percentage points away from 66.7%. If they hold more than two-thirds of the shares, we will not be able to prevent them from privatizing if we hold the shares and not sell them. risky!" Henry Keswick looked ugly and pointed out the loopholes in Niu Bijian''s opinion. As soon as he said this, Niu Bijian''s face sank. He also thought about this. The other party''s shareholding ratio is too high. It is not difficult to increase the share of a few percentage points again. If the shareholding exceeds two-thirds, then the Jardine Consortium Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will be allowed to knead it without any resistance. "Hold it first, even if it will be privatized in the end, it will cost them a higher price!" Old John snorted angrily, obviously extremely angry in his heart, this feeling of being bullied and unable to resist makes him feel very aggrieved. The only way now is to let Wharf''s stock price rush upwards, and finally they cash out at a high price and leave Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. bleeding heavily. "Then father, we can''t do anything about Wharf, but the situation of other companies will definitely be worse now, what should we do? We don''t have enough funds!" Charles Keswick asked anxiously. Hearing this, the hearts of all the people present sank, and these words touched everyone''s pain. In order to acquire the shares of Jardine Machinery Group, 30% of the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group were used instead of 150 million, but in the end more than 1.3 billion cash was released. Although this money is spent on the one hand to complete the absolute holding of the Jardine Machinery Group, it is more important to complete the changes and influence brought by the holding. The purpose is to break the Chinese-funded alliance, undermine the morale of the Chinese-funded, and enhance the power of the Jardine consortium, so that the enemy will be awe-inspiring and buy precious time for the Jardine consortium. At the beginning of the announcement of victory, this effect did appear perfectly. But it didn''t take long before the news of the Wharf acquisition announced by Xia Yu was shattered. It can be said that the more than one billion funds of the Keswick family were spent in vain! Without the influence on the general trend, such a high share of equity will be meaningless! On the contrary, the Chinese capital''s offensive will be more fierce, and the current funds are simply not enough! The enemy''s offensive can be expected to be very rapid, but the ammunition I thought was sufficient, but because the situation was so bad, it became completely insufficient. This problem is tricky! "Stay steady first, grab the shares in Wharf for me, and delay their progress as much as possible, and then I will contact Shi Yahuai, I don''t believe that he is really not worried!" Old John said. ... The press conference soon ended, Xia Yu also answered five questions, two of which were important to the reporters of Li''s TV station. "Boss, John Keswick''s call." As soon as I returned to the company, I heard Wang Qi who was answering the phone cover the microphone and said with a heavy face. Xia Yu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. He didn''t expect to receive a call from Old John just after the press conference was held. This is interesting. Is this coming to Xingshi? There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and Xia Yu answered the phone. "Hey!" "Xia Yu You are not keeping promises, really we dare not do anything to you..." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the anger of Old John calling his name directly, and he relentlessly accused and questioned. It was around Xia Yu''s promise last night that he would not actively attack the companies of the Jardine Consortium. . Xia Yu understood that even if Old John''s phone call had another purpose, the most important thing was to come to him to give up his anger, because as long as Old John was not stupid, he would definitely know that Wharf was seized as a foregone conclusion. It''s just that Xia Yu is not muddled. Old John''s voice questioned made Xia Yu''s face cold. He has never been questioned and scolded like this. The clay figurine is also three-pointed, not to mention him in a high position? Since the skin has been torn, there is no need to hide it. Xia Yu countered without hesitation: "John Keswick, do you think I''m scared?" Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 393: Exposure and murder (2 Hearing Xia Yu''s tearing words, the old John on the other end of the phone was stunned. Xia Yu''s reaction was completely different from his usual behavior and the impression left in his mind. Before Xia Yu always looked like a smiling tiger. Behind his smiling expression, he didn''t know what he was thinking. The city mansion was very deep, and he was just like an old fox. But now, he is sharp and sharp, acting in the opposite style. Is this not going to hide anymore, have confidence to fight with me? A thought flashed through Old John''s mind, his entire face was gloomy and terrible. Since Xia Yu left no room to hit his door and pointed at his nose to curse, then if he didn''t work hard, the Jardine Consortium would be defeated in his hands sooner or later. "Well, you should pray that you can continue to be so arrogant." Old John said in a cold voice, and in his cold tone, what was hiding was the burning anger in his heart. "People don''t offend me, I don''t offend people, hehe, John Keswick, I will not let you down!". "Beep! Beep! Beep~" Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the gloomy old John stood on the spot with his brows furrowed, recalling Xia Yu''s last sarcasm. Old John has stayed in Xiangjiang for decades and has a deep understanding of Chinese culture. The hidden meaning of the phrase "people don''t offend me, I don''t offend people" is still understandable. In his understanding, starting with the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, it was Xia Yu who attacked his company several times, and they responded passively. But listening to Xia Yu''s meaning, they are unreasonable, these attacks are regarded as revenge? Only when there is grudges can there be talk of revenge. So, Xia Yu has grudges with them? What is there that he doesn''t know? Old John frowned, trying to find the source of the problem and see what was going on, which would help him make a decision. Otherwise, he didn''t find it, it was a hidden danger after all. As the owner of a consortium, he did not allow things outside his control to exist inside! "Where is the problem?" Old John felt a dull pain in his head, but he kept pushing back what happened during this period, trying to find clues. "Father, are you okay?" "Yes, father, sit down first." Seeing Old John thinking hard, the brothers Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick said with concern. "Ok!" Old John subconsciously replied, and slightly lifted his head to sweep across the faces of the two brothers. It''s just that when his gaze swept across Charles Keswick, there was an aura in Old John''s mind, and he remembered something, something he had previously overlooked inadvertently. I still remember that when Xia Yu sniped at the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, he brought Niu Bijian and his son Charles Keswick to negotiate with Xia Yu. At that time, Xia Yu had a problem with his second son, and the performance of his second son Charles wrong. At that time, he was thinking about asking his second son Charles if he had anything to do with Xia Yu after he went back. It was just that the talk with Xia Yu collapsed at that time. Old John was very annoyed. After returning, he was busy arranging defenses and counterattacks and ignored this. Now when I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel there is a problem. Seeing his father staring straight at him, Charles Keswick was very uncomfortable, feeling a little hairy in his heart, and couldn''t help but ask timidly: "Father, what''s wrong with you?" "Are you hiding something from me?" Old John asked suddenly, staring straight at Charles Keswick, Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian on the side also looked at Charles subconsciously, but both of them were a little confused and didn''t know what Old John was thinking. Charles Keswick was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed, his expression became stiff, his eyes began to dodge, with a guilty conscience. Ever since Xia Yu kept sniping on the companies of the Jardine Consortium, Charles Keswick was in a panic, always feeling that this matter had something to do with him. But because the consequences were too great, he didn''t have the courage to take it and couldn''t bear the responsibility, so he hypnotized himself and tried to make himself forget. But now when his father asked, Charles Keswick found weakly that he couldn''t perform well under his father''s power. "Let''s say, at this time, do you still have to hide it?" Old John is so sophisticated, and Charles Keswick¡¯s poor performance made him sink. His intuition and reason told him that it was Charles Keswick that had a problem here, but it seemed that this second son seemed to be lucky. , So he sullenly raised his voice and shouted. "Father, I...I..." Charles Keswick was taken aback, with a ghost in his heart, he stammered a bit under the influence of Old John. "There is one thing, but it should...should be okay?" Charles Keswick lowered his head and said with lack of confidence. Charles Keswick¡¯s abnormal performance made Old John''s heart sink. He knew that his son was always courageous, but he still has the courage to admit it. It is conceivable that what he did was not small. "Say, don''t cause greater loss to the family because of you!" Old John grinned and said again. "Charles, my father is asking you if there is any influence, you only know when you say it." Henry Keswick, the eldest brother, also frowned. Niu Bijian was the only one to shut up. Although he was the right arm of Old John, he was not a member of the Keswick family after all, so it was inconvenient to interrupt. "I say." "When Xia Yu went to London before, I..." Charles Keswick finally couldn''t resist the pressure, and slowly revealed the secret that has been deeply disturbing in his heart. "After Xia Yu came back, there was no response. I thought he didn''t know it was related to me, so I didn''t care about it. That''s how it happened." After Charles Keswick finished speaking, he lowered his head anxiously, not daring to look at the gloomy faces of his father and brother. For a while, the office calmed down, leaving only the heavy breathing of Old John. Looking at his trembling second son, the anger in Old John''s heart was even more intense. He pointed his finger at Charles Keswick and said with a hatred of iron and steel: "You bastard! Good not to learn, specialize in this kind of crooked way. Forget it, if you fail, you should tell me early instead of taking a fluke!" Hearing his father''s scolding, Charles Keswick shrank his neck and lowered his head a little bit. He did not dare to look up, his face was full of guilt and self-blame. "Charles, you...oh..." As the eldest brother, Henry Keswick also had a very ugly face, with his fists clenched, even if it was a brother, he couldn''t wait to beat him. This **** brother! After scolding, Old John''s anger still persisted, but he was annoyed to see his second son now, so he simply waved his hand, out of sight, and pointed to the door and said, "Get out of here!" "Yes!" Charles Keswick''s heart was cold for a moment. He heard the deep disappointment in his father''s tone, but now, he could only leave, so he responded in a low voice and left the office. When Charles Keswick was about to reach the door, Old John suddenly said, "Stop!" Charles Keswick turned his head abruptly to look at Old John, only to see him say blankly: "Stand up straight at the door, look up!" Charles Keswick subconsciously obeyed the order, raising his head and chest, but his gaze was still dodge, afraid to meet old John. It''s just that he felt much better, and his father still didn''t give up on him after all. This is the best news for him now. Withdrawing his gaze from the second son, Old John frowned in thought. Now that the source has been found, Old John will not be as naive as Charles Keswick. There are indications that Xia Yu had known that Charles Keswick was involved in the attack at that time, and he was still behind the scenes. It''s just that Xia Yu can bear it too much. After returning from London, he has been hiding, like a poisonous snake, constantly looking for opportunities to retaliate. Old John was angry with Charles Keswick, except in part because Charles was bold, and more importantly, because Charles did not choose to report to him after the incident, but was hiding by himself with a fluke mentality. If Charles would report to him as soon as things failed, he would definitely take precautions, and there would never be such a situation. The company was attacked time and time again, but they could only respond passively, causing heavy losses! What''s more, if Charles Keswick didn¡¯t do it himself and told him his plans and ideas, Old John would also mobilize more power to perfect the plan and try to be foolproof. Maybe Xia Yu would have been killed long ago. , Xia Yu¡¯s company was also eaten up. After all, for the Jiuding Newspaper Company, Old John was also in his eyes. It is absolutely false if he is not greedy! The Jardine Consortium grew stronger in his hands, and it was still in that turbulent and dark age. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no blood on his hands, even if one more Xia Yu is not too much! Now that everything is clear, there is nothing to say, even if it is not for this tone, Old John will take the initiative to eliminate the danger! After all, the hatred with Xia Yu can be said to be "fortune and murder", in the eyes of Old John, this is a vengeance! To save others by oneself, if he were Xia Yu, he would definitely retaliate and fight to the end! "Only a thousand days is a thief, there is no thousand days to guard against thieves." Old John still knows the truth. Now that the enemy is so great, Xia Yu is another genius, weaker than them, and dare to calculate and attack them one after another. If he continues to let him go, when Xia Yu''s strength exceeds them, there is absolutely no chance of turning over. "The threat must be eliminated!" Old John''s eyes were full of murderousness, and his heart was cruel. "Father, what should we do now? Xia Yu will definitely go against us again and again, and can''t let it go!" Henry Keswick said solemnly. "Yes, Chairman, we don''t have any room for reversal." Niu Bijian also agreed, with the same heavy heart. After all, the previous struggle can be understood as a normal commercial struggle, but after learning about the enmity between them, there is no way to stop it, and he will definitely fight until one party falls. Unless it is said that Xia Yu took the initiative to stop and wiped out the enmity, and the Keswick family also bowed their heads. Otherwise, the struggle that follows will be more intense, which is something that can be foreseen now. "I know!" Old John said solemnly. "Since he wants to live with us endlessly, then he will die!" As soon as Old John said this, the expressions of the three people in the office changed. They didn''t expect Old John to be so decisive and immediately decided to kill. Although they all have this idea in their hearts, they are all worried about the consequences. After all, Xia Yu has amazing energy and can already be said to be standing on the top of Xiangjiang. If he is killed, Xiangjiang will definitely shake the mountain, and Huazi will even more. Even with the strength of the Jardine Consortium, the series of unknown consequences caused by the explosion of hair may not be able to withstand it. "Father, this consequence?" Henry Keswick said with a heavy heart, and wanted to know if his father had any plans in this regard. "as a result of?" "The consequence of not doing anything is that the entire consortium will be wiped out by him and the Chinese capital. What other consequences are more serious than this?" Old John asked rhetorically, with a feeling of not being angry at all. Henry Keswick thought about it again, then he said nothing, and nodded to Old John to show that he knew. "There is a fundamental difference between a suspect and a prisoner!" "Now that the Chinese capital is united, we can''t take care of it anymore, so we can just kill the chickens and curse monkeys so that they don''t dare to make any more ideas!" Old John thought for a while and explained it a little bit, so that the three of them had a bottom. "Well, I will arrange tasks for you..." ... Outside the outside world, after Xia Yu held a press conference, the entire Xiangjiang suddenly exploded, public opinion tumbling, and sentiments were enthusiastic. Not only the four major exchanges, but even the streets and alleys were talking about Xia Yu''s acquisition of Wharf. Many people were very excited and cried. However, it is true that the series of sniping and acquisition wars launched by Xia Yu during this period is definitely a rare drama in Xiangjiang in decades. The most important thing is that this drama is completely different from the past. In the past, the British were the protagonists. For example, in the 1960s, the Chinese banks headed by Hang Seng Bank collapsed and were eaten by British capital one after another. . But this time, it was completely the other way around. The Chinese capital showed its prowess and defeated the Jardine Consortium of the First British Consortium of Hong Kong. Many people have a feeling of exuberance. There is quite a taste of serfs turning over and singing! At this moment, I don''t know how many people regard Xia Yu as an idol, and the goal of his life. Man, be so! The explosion of public opinion from the outside world has a major impact on the stock market. It is investors and financial institutions. After all, it is them who paid the money. After Xia Yu announced the acquisition of Wharf, the morale that had fallen sharply because the Jardine Machinery Group was recaptured by Jardine, immediately countered, regained the top of the mountain in one fell swoop, and consolidated its momentum even higher. This general trend is reflected in the stock market, that is, all the companies attacked by Chinese capital have their stock prices skyrocketing! Shareholders and institutions that sold stocks because of worry before have regretted it. Some stockholders who almost sold it are even more vociferous. Of course, Wharf¡¯s stock has also risen a bit, but Xia Yu has already taken this into consideration and responded in advance. The skyrocketing share price of Wharf is certainly not good for Xia Yu, who wants to privatize, because it means that he needs to spend more money to buy back shares. So at the moment of the press conference, Jiuding Securities immediately contacted the exchange and applied for suspension and delisting as an absolute majority shareholder There is only one reason-the Wharf as a listed company The public shareholding ratio is less than 25%! This is a rigid requirement. When the public shares of a listed company are less than 25%, it does not meet the requirements of a listed company and it will be delisted. Even if Xia Yu does not actively apply, the exchange will require Xia Yu to make a choice to release the stock within a time limit so that the public shares can reach more than 25%; or delist it! This time, Xia Yu was very conscious and didn''t need to worry about the exchange at all, so he took the initiative. As a result, the Keswick family''s calculation of wanting to raise the stock price fell through. On the other hand, Xia Yu sent someone to the Wharf in advance to request a board meeting as a major shareholder. He wants to take some more shares and increase his shareholding to more than 66.7%. In this way, the privatization of the company and the stock repurchase are completely his words, allowing the stock to fall into his bag and not to anyone opportunity! ps: Seeking a monthly ticket recommendation! (=) Chapter 394: Hutchison Whampoa exposed To say that the Wharf was swallowed by Xia Yu, apart from the Jardine Consortium, which forces had the greatest shock, there is no doubt that it was none other than the British consortium. The three British consortia, Swire, Hutchison Whampoa, and Wheelock, all had the mentality of being self-sufficient. They all guessed that the Chinese would not dare to expand their scope after attacking the Jardine consortium. But Xia Yu''s fatal blow completely shocked them. However, in this situation, they are even more unlikely to take the initiative to jump out, clash with the vigorous Chinese capital, and draw the flames of war on themselves. Taking the initiative to pick things is not stupid enough to do it, but strengthening defense is a must. After all, the **** lesson of the Jardine Consortium is happening right now. If they are not vigilant, they are not qualified to be the head of a consortium. Under such circumstances, Norman Shi Yahuai, Qi Dezun, and John Madden successively ordered to speed up the self-examination of the companies under their respective consortiums to see if any companies have been targeted, so that they can be dealt with in a timely manner. It ended up with the Jardine consortium. Don''t say, don''t know if you don''t check it, you will be surprised if you check it! There are three major British consortiums. Each consortium has one or two hundred subsidiaries or affiliated companies. There are as many as Taikoo, and they add up to close to three hundred. It is absolutely impossible not to be targeted by people who are interested. of. The three major consortia immediately resolved the problem. If the attacker is a person like Xia Yu, even if he wants to stop it with the strength of the three major consortia, he will inevitably be powerless. But when it is discovered in advance, it is not difficult to solve the problem. For a time, I don''t know how many people are going to die depressed, and they lurked for a long time, just to cannibalize the next two companies. As a result, because of the battle between Xia Yu and the Jardine consortium, the other three consortiums were alert and the plan was discovered early and failed. Those people have the heart to scold their mother! No disaster! Of course, in this series of investigations, there is one person who is most disturbed. That person is the helm of Hutchison Whampoa-Qi Dezun! The top floor of the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters, the chairman''s office. Qi Dezun looked at the neatly arranged numbers recorded on the paper with a serious face, the more he looked at his face, the worse he looked, and there was even a hint of anxiety in his heart. Because what is recorded on these papers is exactly the stock market transaction records of the Hutchison Whampoa Headquarters in the past six months. The turnover rate, turnover, turnover, etc. are all on it, and the changes are clear at a glance. Even in the last few pages, a few trend charts are specifically described. Just looking at the data for a few weeks or even one or two months can''t find anything, but when the timeline stretches to half a year, many clues are revealed. From these figures and the trend chart, you can see that there is an abnormal trading volume, someone is secretly absorbing shares, and stocks are in or out. According to the ratio, the total number of public shares in circulation has been showing a downward trend! Seeing this, Qi Dezun thought of the tragic situation of Hutchison Whampoa for the first time in his mind, and then thought of the murderous Xia Yu. How similar! Could it be that the crocodile lurking in the water and constantly approaching is also Xia Yu? Qi Dezun felt heavy in his heart. He took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Hutchison Whampoa Chairman Weili, who was sitting opposite, representing his own will, and asked again: "Can you be sure who is secretly sucking shares? Is it Jiuding? Securities?" Wei Li was also in a heavy mood. He slowly shook his head and said: "Mr. Qi Dezun, I don''t know who it is now. I have just found out the problem below, but I have sent someone to investigate." Speaking of this, Wei Li pondered for a moment and said his thoughts: "However, according to the data, the abnormal transaction occurred in early February. At that time, Jiuding Securities Company was not established at all, and Xia Yu has not yet risen. There may be this fund, so I think this lurker should not be Jiuding Securities." Qi Dezun thought for a while, nodded slowly, and agreed with Wei Li''s idea. For some reason, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was only then that he suddenly realized that before he knew it, Xia Yu had left such a deep impression in his heart that he had already regarded him as an equal object. But Xia Yu really deserves his serious treatment. The strength of strength has nothing to do with age. Along the way, Xia Yu''s record of victorious battles, and his prestige, made him subconsciously ignore the fact that Xia Yu was a young man. Qi Dezun shook his head again to wake himself up again. Even if he wasn''t the most prestigious person like Xia Yu, it didn''t mean that Xiangjiang had no other bigwigs. He absolutely couldn''t take it lightly. After thinking about it, Qi Dezun thinks that in this sensitive time period, it is still necessary to focus on stability, so as not to lose face like old John, but also suffer heavy losses. "I will mobilize funds and increase my holdings of personal shares. Also, you continue to check to find out who is secretly absorbing shares, and immediately notify me after finding out, but there is one thing you have to remember, and don''t be alarmed!" Qi Dezun solemnly instructed that he had already decided to cash out some of the unimportant industries invested by the family, and then go to the bank to get some funds, and increase his equity as much as possible. After all, no matter how good other investments are, it is better not to have its own main business. If Hutchison Whampoa is captured, it will be difficult to rebuild a foundation. Just having money and no power is like a rootless mountain, the energy of the family is absolutely Will shrink severely. "Okay, Mr. Qi Dezun!" Werry nodded solemnly. Although Qi Dezun has retired, he is now the chairman of the board of Hutchison Whampoa, and Qi Dezun is at best a major shareholder. However, he was brought up by Qi Dezun, and he was able to sit on the position of chairman of the board of directors. It was also because of Qi Dezun¡¯s equity. Without Qi Dezun¡¯s equity representation, he would have to be laid off every minute, so of course he respects Qi Dezun very much. . After Werry left, Qi Dezun was depressed and walked back and forth in the office a few times, and finally came to the floor-to-ceiling window. He accidentally saw the HSBC Building in the distance. He suddenly thought of something and his face became solemn. "No, I must go to Shen Bi now. As long as he doesn''t sell the equity to others, then I am absolutely safe. If the equity of HSBC is sold, it will definitely be a big trouble!" Qi Dezun felt uneasy when he thought of HSBC''s sale of the Wharf shares in his hand to contribute to Xia Yu''s victory. He understands who Shen Bi is. This is a profit-seeking person. Of course, all the profits are the long-term big interests, otherwise he would not get so close to Huazi. Shen Bi can sell the Wharf stocks held by HSBC to Xia Yu, just as it is possible to sell the Hutchison Whampoa stocks held by the bank to others! But the difference between Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf is that HSBC only holds a 13.5% stake in Wharf. However, due to the stock market crash in 1973, HSBC managed to turn the tide and rescued Hutchison Whampoa. For this reason, HSBC held a 33.65% equity in Hutchison Whampoa, and the shareholding ratio surpassed him. It is actually Hutchison Whampoa. The largest shareholder of Huangpu! It is because the laws of Hong Kong have determined that banks can only operate banking services, not real estate or shipyards. Therefore, even though HSBC holds so much equity, they can only be used as investments. Can''t participate in the operation, otherwise where will he get his turn? But because of this, he was even more uneasy. He is very clear about the operating conditions of Hutchison Whampoa over the years, and HSBC is also very clear about it. Despite his efforts, Hutchison Whampoa gradually climbed out of the quagmire after the stock market crash in 1973, but after all, the injury was too serious and the investment was too complicated, which made it difficult for the ship to turn around and make rectification difficult. He also knows that Shen Bi is very dissatisfied with the status quo of Hutchison Whampoa. If there is enough interest, Shen Bi may really sell his equity. So to be safe, he must stabilize Shen Bi! As long as HSBC''s equity is not sold to others, he is absolutely safe! (=) Chapter 395: Liu Shihao Even if Wang Qi didn''t report the actions of the British consortium, Xia Yu could guess it. After all, as long as Norman Shiyahuai and others were not brain-disabled, they would definitely take precautions. But whether they guarded or not, Xia Yu didn''t care. Because of his sniper plan, after the Wharf was swallowed, the deadline has been announced, and all plan objectives have been successfully completed! Now there are some tasks that were not in the original plan, but have to be completed, that is, taking advantage of the general trend, assisting Bao Yugang and others to complete the acquisition of the predetermined target. And he is going to be immersed for a while, after all, the limelight has been enough, and if he screams again, it will really be too late! In addition, this series of sniping, he earned more than one billion in cash. Most importantly, he also swallowed two giants in the insurance and real estate terminal field, Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and Wharf. He must digest these two companies completely and turn them into his own strength. When Jardine Insurance Consulting Group acquired 60% of the equity, Xia Yu united with Wu Hongyi to control the board of directors, and Wang Qi was responsible for the cleanup and rectification. These were all in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes. For Wang Qi¡¯s rectification, Xia Yu Yu was still satisfied. And now, he even owns 90% of the equity of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. He can toss as he wants, and the execution of orders is smoother. Now the most important thing is the Wharf Company, so Xia Yu convened a board meeting immediately. At the board meeting, the Jardine Consortium was not stupid enough to not come. After all, if they did not come, Xia Yukeng and others would have no idea. But even though he was here, it was not Old John or his two sons, but another senior member of the Jardine Matheson Group. Maybe it¡¯s because I got a point, or I knew that there was no way to stop Xia Yu, so the representative of the Jardine Foundation remained silent all the time, just letting Xia Yu rectify it and watched a person from the Jardine Foundation faction be Take down. Although he won a lot of people at one time and made the company turbulent, Xia Yu turned a blind eye and seemed not to care about these bad effects. Xia Yu is not stupid, knowing that long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. After all, Wharf is the core enterprise of the Jardine Consortium. Many people in it have served the Jardine Consortium for a long time, and some are even in the Wharf. There are positions and important positions in other subsidiaries of the Jardine Consortium. This kind of person was resolutely taken by Xia Yu. A short period of turbulence is turbulence, which is safer than the artificial turmoil caused by the Jardine consortium in revenge. The people who won this time were all sorted out in advance. Xia Yu''s preliminary work was not only about collecting Wharf''s equity. Having been lurking for such a long time, I have already touched the Wharf all over the world. The equity, market, personnel factions, personalities and relationships are all very clear. After the meeting of the board of directors, people who were on the key list were all based on them. After the opening of the board of directors, Xia Yu personally sits in the Wharf Company, and then asks Wang Qi to continue to purchase stocks. The target is the few other minority shareholders except for the Jardine consortium when the board of directors was first opened. At the board of directors, Xia Yu put it forward, and it can be seen that the small shareholders realized that they could not stop them, so they were all willing to sell the stocks and withdraw. As long as the price was agreed, there would be no problem. Sitting in an unfamiliar office, Xia Yu flipped through the Wharf Company''s situation report, and at the same time called in an executive from time to time to talk to them to calm their hearts. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" Following Xia Yu''s words, the door quickly opened, and the people who entered gently closed the door and came to Xia Yu. Looking up at the somewhat free and easy middle-aged man in front of him, Xia Yu looked at it, then lowered his head to look at the three spread materials on the table. One is the company''s personnel file, one is the strategic plan for the development of the real estate business, and the other is the resignation report. It''s just that this resignation report was written yesterday, that is, before Xia Yu came. Unfortunately, the company changed its boss before he was approved to resign. Xia Yu leaned on the chair, folded his hands, said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Liu Shihao? Although it was a question, the tone was very calm. "Yes!" The middle-aged man named Liu Shihao nodded his head calmly. He also saw the familiar resignation report on the desktop, so he was very calm. Xia Yu nodded slightly, but the information on Liu Shihao''s personnel file and the information he had investigated flashed in his mind. This Liu Shihao is an executive in the real estate business of Wharf. Wharf does not only operate in real estate, but also has port and wharf, transportation, warehousing and other businesses, but real estate is the most important part. In the company, there are seven departments related to real estate business, namely: 1. Marketing Department: Responsible for the sales planning, sales promotion, customer relationship management, sales or leasing work of the development project, and is the "leading" department of the real estate business. 2. Finance Department: There is a separate department within the company''s finance department, which is responsible for the accounting and financial management of the real estate business, which is the core. 3.

Development Department: Responsible for a series of preliminary development work such as the development strategy of the real estate business, the specific planning of the project, the acquisition of land and the handling of related permits. And Liu Shihao, after returning from abroad, has been working in Wharf. Because he has studied several majors and understands all aspects, he has worked in the engineering technology department, engineering project department and development department successively. He has outstanding abilities. Now he is the manager of the development department. Of course, if he resigns successfully, the name of the manager will become a ¡®former manager¡¯. "Sit down! I have something I want to talk to you!" Xia Yu pointed to the stool, UU reading whispered. "Thank you!" Liu Shihao nodded and thanked him, and sat down with his hands on his knees, looking at Xia Yu calmly. "You did this strategic plan, how long did it take? I mean to start with this idea!" Xia Yu asked, referring to the strategic plan opened on the desktop. Liu Shihao is a talent! Otherwise Xia Yu wouldn''t be interested in him. In the entire Wharf Company, if Xia Yu is most interested in whom, it is undoubtedly Liu Shihao, especially when he saw the strategic plan, he became more curious. But what surprised him was that it was this talent who made him curious that he planned to resign. Of course Xia Yu must figure out why! After all, talents are rare, especially in this critical period, a talent who is not from the Jardine consortium is even more important to the company! (=) Chapter 396: City complex Liu Shihao looked at the planning book on Xia Yu''s desk, and there was a complex look in his eyes. This planning book can be said to be the crystallization of what he has learned and thought over the years, contains all his ideas, and is the carrier of his practice of life value. But it was this planning book full of his expectations that was suppressed by the company president for three months. Every time he mustered up hope to ask and try to persuade the president, and finally returned disappointed again and again. Until recently, his enthusiasm I was finally wiped out. I realized the fact that the company''s philosophy was inconsistent with my own, and resigned disheartenedly. I want to take my dreams and find a place where I can display my talents and practice my ideas. But I didn''t expect that the company changed its boss at a lightning speed, and the president who looked to him Zhuzizhi was kicked out. And now, it seems that the new and prestigious boss seems to be interested in his plan! Thinking of the identity and handwriting of the new boss, Liu Shihao suddenly felt hope, and he wanted to fight again! Thinking of this, Liu Shihao slowly said: "Boss, this planning idea was in existence five years ago, and then it was refined and summarized step by step, and it took shape only three months ago." Liu Shihao didn''t say much, but Xia Yu could hear that his words contained infinite emotion, which was indeed his painstaking effort. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a satisfied smile: "I saw your plan. You have your own unique understanding of urban complexes, and you have a long-term vision. You have long realized that urban complexes are the trend of future urban development. ,rare!" Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s appreciation, Liu Shihao was not happy, because he was not here at all, but was attracted by Xia Yu¡¯s concept of "urban complex". He was chanting this strange and vivid word back and forth. , Fell into a state of contemplation. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu didn''t bother him, and the color of appreciation in his eyes became stronger. He is a person who is good at thinking, which is an outstanding advantage. Xia Yu continued to look at Liu Shihao''s planning book, nodding slightly from time to time. Although Liu Shihao''s planning book appears to him to be very rudimentary, it is also seen from the perspective of his later generations. In this era, Liu Shihao''s ideas and vision are undoubtedly top-notch. There is still time for the planning book. It has been three months now, but the planning book has been kept here, as if gold was covered in dust. It can be seen that the last president of Wharf has nothing to do with it. It is no wonder that even though Wharf has been sitting on gold mines, the development of Wharf has been lagging behind and it has fallen into a quagmire step by step. After a long time, Liu Shihao came back to his senses, his eyes were shining, and he seemed to have found some treasure. He said with excitement: "Boss, you use this term too appropriately. In the future, as the population increases, we must develop urban integration. In order to maximize the use of land and create the greatest value." But as he talked, he became frustrated again and said to himself: "It''s just that my ideas are far from the level of the complex, and I need to continue to improve..." Seeing Liu Shihao''s somewhat neurotic performance, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. He just mentioned the name of the "urban complex" that is well-known to future generations. He didn''t even mention the specific concept, so Liu Shihao made up his mind. Should he call him a genius? Or should he be paranoid? Worried about unexpected situations for this talent that he is optimistic about, Xia Yu does not intend to let him continue to be self-confident, he coughed and said straightly: "You don''t have to belittle yourself. Urban complex is just a big concept, and there are many types, such Business complexes, business complexes, life complexes, single complexes, complex clusters, etc. If you are interested, we have time to have a good chat." "Now let''s talk about your plan. Your plan is actually the primary plan version of a commercial complex. It is similar to a shopping mall in the traditional sense, but it is different from commercial real estate." "If you add integrated entertainment, conference and exhibition on the basis of commercial retail, office, hotel catering, and residence, and all of this is carried out by a large shopping mall, a kind of interdependence and mutual benefit will be established among various parts. Kinetic relationship, I think it should be very good!" Following Xia Yu''s remarks, Liu Shihao listened attentively, nodding to his understanding from time to time, and his gaze at Xia Yu became more intense. "Are you interested in challenging this project?" Xia Yu said with interest. Liu Shihao was stunned for a moment, blinked, and found that Xia Yu was looking at him with a smile, not as if he was joking. He couldn''t help swallowing, but still asked in disbelief, "Boss, yours. Means that my plan is feasible after modification?" "No confidence?" Xia Yu asked back, the meaning was already obvious. "Have!" Liu Shihao nodded heavily, the surprise on his face couldn''t hide. It was really unexpected. He thought that he had met the new boss and approved his resignation report. He didn''t expect that the plan that had been suppressed for three months before reappeared and was valued by the new boss. This is more than that. The new boss is obviously also very researched in this area. He is stronger than him, stronger than him, and able to appreciate his boss. How can he not be surprised! The most important thing is that the new boss clearly has more ideas than him, but he still intends to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. This kind of situation that gives him great attention when he meets for the first time makes him very moved. Compared with the distrust, incomprehension, and indifference of the previous president, Liu Shihao has a deep feeling of the kindness of knowledge. Seeing Liu Shihao''s quick promise, Xia Yu was also in a good mood. He found a talent when he was in urgent need of talent. This is a happy thing. "What about this one?" Xia Yu raised the resignation report in Yang''s hand, and asked Noyu. Liu Shihao was embarrassed and smiled awkwardly and politely, and wanted to get his resignation report back. "Haha, work hard, don''t let me down!" "Sizzle!" Xia Yu said encouragingly and tore off the resignation report and threw it into the wastebasket next to it. "Boss rest assured, I will not let you down!" Liu Shihao nodded heavily and assured him. "Take it back and improve according to the direction I said. If you don''t understand, you can ask me at any time. Now that the company has a ready-made foundation, don''t build it from scratch. You use the terminal of Tsim Sha Tsui Ocean Terminal as the foundation. , Make a complete plan for me to review." Xia Yu threw his planning book on the table in front of him, and said. "understand!" Liu Shihao picked up the planning book and said solemnly. Then, Xia Yu waved his hand, and Liu Shihao said goodbye to the boss, and then slowly exited the office, but compared with the state of wantlessness when he came in, he was full of energy at this time, and his whole body was full of hard work. Vigorous. (=) Chapter 397: 13.2.7 billion working capital ().., Seeing Liu Shihao''s departure from the back, Xia Yu felt a trace of anticipation in his heart. This Liu Shihao is indeed a talent who was discovered by accident. The most important thing is that the company''s development ideas are in line with what he wants. This means that this is a talent who can execute his orders and ideas well. There are many talents in the world, but it is very difficult to find talents that coincide with his own ideas. Xia Yu was lucky and found one just when he needed it most. It was precisely for this reason that he had chatted with Liu Shihao for so long and gave him such high expectations. Before Xia Yu took the Wharf, when he was free, he roughly made a development plan for the Wharf in his heart. Wharf said it is a company, but it is actually a group, its full name is Wharf Group Co., Ltd. It is the parent company that is listed. Under the Wharf Group, excluding the affiliated companies that invest in shares, there are four subsidiaries, namely Wharf, Haigang Enterprise Co., Ltd., Heung Kong Tram Co., Ltd. and Star Ferry. In addition, there are also buildings and Ma Copolo Hong Kong Hotel and other assets. From the beginning of the wharf warehouse, Wharf has developed into the largest freight port in Hong Kong today, with deep-water wharves, open-air cargo yards, and freight warehouses. It is the proper landlord of Hong Kong. And most importantly, the wharf and warehouse sites of Wharf in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong Island, and New Territories are all prime locations and priceless. The real estate predators in Hong Kong are not to mention eye-catching, but they are scared by the power of the Jardine Consortium. Don''t dare to think. However, under the control of the Jardine Consortium, although Wharf has successively built famous properties such as Harbour City, Ocean Center Tower, and Ocean Terminal, its management methods are very low. Adhering to the concept of building buildings with own funds, only renting but not selling, the return of funds is slow, and the group''s capital chain is tight. In order to alleviate the burning eyebrows, a large number of bonds were issued, which in turn caused debts to become high, credibility declined, and stocks depreciated, step by step toward desperation. In the previous life, until the shipping king Bao Yu first took over the Wharf Group, he immediately made drastic reforms, starting with Harbour City. Repair the first built Ocean Terminal, reinstall the Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel, build a new Ocean Center Tower, and build Gateway Tower, Star City, various office buildings, high-end shopping malls, etc., and make full use of the huge site of Wharf Wharf. It has become the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong. Harbour City is a representative of a typical commercial complex. In the later generations, the asset value of Harbour City alone will reach more than 160 billion Hong Kong dollars. The annual rental income after excluding the hotel has reached more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. The total retail sales of all tenants in Harbour City has reached more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. It accounts for more than 7% of Hong Kong''s total retail sales, ranking first in Hong Kong! A hen that will lay golden eggs! After that, the Wharf Group made full use of the land in its hands to once again create a down-to-earth, civilian-oriented Times Square. The passenger flow was also full, and the money was soft. The two Optimus Primes of Harbour City on the one hand and Times Square on the other have allowed the Wharf Group to sit firmly on the throne of one of the four major real estate giants in Hong Kong. History has proved that urban complexes are really the mainstream of the development of the real estate industry, especially in a densely populated place like Xiangjiang, which is more suitable. In this life, the Wharf Group is in the hands of Xia Yu, with the correct guidance that has been taken in the previous life. Coupled with Xia Yu''s knowledge, Wharf will definitely develop rapidly in the real estate industry! Go fast and steady! In addition to Wharf and Seaport Enterprise Co., Ltd., the other two subsidiaries of Wharf Group are not simple. Among them, Xiangjiang Tram Co., Ltd. was acquired by the Wharf Group in 1974 and established in 1902 to monopolize the tram transportation industry of Xiangjiang. The Star Ferry is not bad. It is a well-known cross-sea transportation tool with a long history in Hong Kong¡¯s Victoria Harbour. Every day, more than 70,000 people take the Star Ferry to and from Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. It is a common means of transportation for Hong Kong citizens. With the voice of an exclusive monopoly, the tourist transportation business of Victoria Harbour is all eaten by it. The Star Ferry is also a means of transportation with a long history as famous as the Hong Kong Tram and the Victoria Peak Tram. Of these three, two belong to the Wharf Group! Daylight flashed by. Under Xia Yu¡¯s strong rectification, the entire Wharf Group¡¯s employees left a deep impression on the new boss Xia Yu. Although the company was chaotic, under Xia Yu¡¯s strategy, Soon settled down. In addition to dealing with the Wharf Group, Wang Qi is responsible for repurchasing shares, and Xia Yu ordered Yan Shining to cooperate with Li Wuming to strengthen the security of himself and his family. Xia Yu is not stupid. After provoking, he knows that the Jardine Foundation will retaliate, he must strengthen the security of himself and his family. Although the security personnel training was not completed, Xia Yu asked Yan Shining to suspend the training and pulled the people out. Ordinary security personnel do ordinary words, such as maintaining order and patrolling. For example, Yan Shining¡¯s old subordinates, as well as some of the more capable employees recruited, are arranged around Xia Yu and his parents and family members to protect their personal safety. He started to be a low-key person, and the security force was strengthened, Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It''s time to take stock of your achievements! Xia Yu made 1.413 billion Hong Kong dollars in gambling, and then spent 96 million on Li''s TV stations and RVs, leaving 1.317 billion in working capital. Of course, this liquidity is calculated separately from the accounts of Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Newspaper Company and other companies, and the remaining money after gambling. And then spent 20 million Hong Kong dollars to buy Guangan Bank. Immediately afterwards, the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal made a profit of 424 million Hong Kong dollars. Then came the battle of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, which swallowed 60% of the equity and cost 296.8 million Hong Kong dollars. Then there was the earth-shattering battle of Jardine Machines Group, which made a profit of 1.003 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 30% of the equity of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and 853 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. In addition to these, the Galaxy Fund¡¯s other investment profits and equity threat exchanges, etc., add up to about 20 million. Finally, Wharf is the Wharf. From the beginning to now, he has taken a 62.2% stake in the Wharf Group, which cost him 970 million Hong Kong dollars. However, 395 million Hong Kong dollars of this were spent earlier, and it was spent by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. when it acquired the stocks. Among them, 285 million was obtained by using 28.5 million to ask HSBC to leverage ten times. Xia Yu has already completed the internal settlement and transferred the equity from Jiuding Securities to the Galaxy Fund, and the Galaxy Fund has given the Jiuding Securities a cost of HK$395 million. After Jiuding Securities got the money, it immediately removed the financial leverage. The 285 million yuan immediately shrank to 28.5 million, plus the original own funds of 142 million and the profits made during this period. Own working capital reached 185 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu''s money from Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will not be integrated into it for the time being, leaving aside, continue to count the Galaxy Fund. Calculating the ins and outs like this His current liquidity has reached about 1.327 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars more than the 1.317 billion Hong Kong dollars before the action. But don¡¯t forget! Compared to before, he now has another Guangan Bank in his hands, 90% of the equity of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, which was originally valued at HK$500 million, and 62.2% of the equity of Wharf Group! The more than one billion Hong Kong dollars he earned from gambling was originally for the acquisition of Wharf. Who knew that the progress would be so smooth. After some tossing, not only the money was not small, but the things he wanted were obtained! After taking such an inventory, Xia Yu''s heart felt refreshed. "However, when we are not satisfied, the current market value of Wharf is definitely an insult. To complete the privatization, nearly 38% of the equity is needed and a lot of money is needed, but 1.327 billion is definitely enough!" "Continue to keep a low profile and make every effort to complete the privatization goal of the Wharf Group!" Xia Yu smiled and thought to himself. (=) Chapter 398: Planning to clean up Li Jiacheng Xia Yu''s face is still great, and other Chinese bigwigs have also been icing on the cake to help, which makes Xia Yu''s stock repurchase action proceed very smoothly. As of the next morning, he had repurchased 8.9% of the equity. There are so many, thanks to the help of Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji and Feng Jingxi, Xia Yu has won 4 previously difficult minority shareholders. . The equity in the hands of these four small shareholders alone amounts to 7.5%, and the remaining 1.4% is repurchased from shareholders. Coupled with this 8.9% stake, Xia Yu¡¯s Wharf Group¡¯s equity directly exceeded 70%, reaching 71.1%. Except for the 18.9% of the shares held by the Jardine Department, there are only 10% of the shares outside. I believe that with a destined result, this 10% equity will be fully acquired within a few days. Seeing Xia Yu''s non-stop acquisition of equity, Old John felt very annoyed, but there was no way to stop him, he could only watch. Just as Xia Yu continued to purchase stocks methodically, he suddenly received a secret telephone report from Liu Tianci. Qi Dezun is secretly increasing his stake in Hutchison Whampoa! This was when Liu Tianci returned to the HSBC Building, he happened to see Qi Dezun go to Shen Bi. Then Liu Tianci became suspicious. Combining the status quo of Xiangjiang and his intuition, he thought the news was useful to Xia Yuhui, so he sent someone to investigate secretly. Some. As a result, clues were found. Qi Dezun is not only increasing his shareholding, but also investigating who secretly acquired the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. After the news was confirmed, Liu Tianci was worried that Xia Yu was the one who acquired the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. To prevent Xia Yu from losing the initiative, he immediately reported to Xia Yu in secret. Not to mention, this news is really important to Xia Yu! Qi Dezun is secretly increasing his stake in Hutchison Whampoa, which shows that he is panicked and afraid of falling into the Jardine consortium. This point, even if you think about it according to common sense, as long as Qi Dezun is not stupid, he should do it, so Xia Yu is not surprised by this. To his surprise, Qi Dezun unexpectedly discovered that someone was secretly buying shares in Hutchison Whampoa. He is now investigating who the lurker is! Xia Yu knows who the secret share purchase is, it is Li Jiacheng. Of course, he will be added now. Yes, he has entered the market now, and just yesterday, he just arranged for a dark share option. Who knows that just now Qi Dezun started to increase his shareholding and protect himself! This makes Xia Yu a little depressed! "and many more!" When Xia Yu was depressed, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, he was stunned, his brain turned frantically, and his eyes gradually brightened. "Why should I follow the previous plan? Now that the situation has changed drastically, the previous plan is no longer suitable!" "Before I didn''t have enough capital. I could only choose between Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf. Even if I chose Wharf, it was a snake swallowing elephant, so I wanted to make a fortune from Hutchison Whampoa to grow my capital." "But now I am not short of funds, I don''t have to hold the mentality of making a fortune!" The more I thought about it, Xia Yu''s heart became more rippling, and the corners of his mouth curled up unknowingly, and his face was full of complex colors of annoyance and expectation. As the saying goes, people''s ambitions will change with changes in ability and strength. Before Xia Yu was weak, Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf were huge monsters to him. Hutchison Whampoa, which has a market value of nearly five times that of Wharf, is even bigger. Even if Xia Yu is coveted, he has no choice but to give up and choose Wharf, which is more likely to succeed. Although not capable of swallowing it, with Xia Yu''s greedy character, it is certainly impossible to miss the opportunity, so taking the opportunity to make a fortune is the best choice. Even though several times thinking about making Li Jiacheng cheaper, Xia Yu could only continue to struggle towards Wharf after secretly sighing. But time has changed, and now is different! Life''s fate is inaccurate, and Xia Yu did not expect that his strength would expand so quickly, and he was so lucky that after swallowing so many companies, there were still more than one billion liquid funds left. Even if the Wharf Group was completely privatized in the end, a large amount of capital would be needed, but Xia Yu estimated that in the end there would be at least 7.8 billion yuan left. Wealth, big waist, hard, bolder! It is not impossible to swallow Hutchison Whampoa! If after taking the Wharf Wharf and swallowing Hutchison Whampoa again, combining the opportunities of Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng, Xia Yu will surely be able to sit firmly on the throne of the King of Xiangjiang. Thinking of this, even with Xia Yu''s state of mind, he couldn''t help but secretly become fascinated. "Li Jiacheng, we are friends. As a good friend, I will take your opportunity. You should have no objection!" Xia Yu muttered to himself with a smile, and the decision was made instantly. Done it! Swallow Hutchison Whampoa too! Despite the decision, Xia Yu did not lose his mind. He knew that the time was not right! Qi Dezun is increasing his shareholding to build defensive barriers. And Li Jiacheng is still lurking secretly, secretly acquiring shares in Hutchison Whampoa, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack! These two points will cause major obstacles to Xia Yu''s goals. Moreover, at this time, the first thing he needs to do is to keep a low profile and settle down the surging virtual strength. It is not appropriate to make too many enemies, especially the Hutchison Whampoa among the four major British consortiums. If it does, even if it succeeds, the British capital will definitely work together to bring him down, and the Chinese capital will be envious and jealous, even wishing him to fall. What''s more, in the current situation, Xia Yu wants to swallow Hutchison Whampoa, it is not realistic at all, there is too much resistance! The time and the person are not occupied, Xia Yu will attack now if he is stupid. Still wretched for a while. But in the time of wretched development, we must first clear these two obstacles! For Qi Dezun to increase his shareholding, Xia Yu has no choice but time to wash it away. It is absolutely impossible for Qi Dezun to defend for many years. As long as he finds safety after a period of time, he will definitely relax and Xia Yu will be able to look for opportunities. Compared to Qi Dezun''s defense, the obstacle from Li Jiacheng is even greater! If he rushes in , not only will he offend Hutchison Whampoa, but he will also have a conflict with Li Jiacheng. Then we must find a way to make Li Jiacheng withdraw and give up the plan to acquire Hutchison Whampoa. As long as Li Jiacheng gave up and Xia Yu launched an offensive later, Li Jiacheng had nothing to say. After all, he gave up the opportunity. "But how do you clear Li Jiacheng out of the field!" Xia Yu frowned slightly, his fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, and his brain turned frantically. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" "Yes!" After thinking about it for a minute or so, Xia Yu''s eyes brightened and he thought of a practical way, and then he kept deducing in his mind to make sure there were no loopholes. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 399: Suppression from Hutchison Whampoa "Yes, just do it!" After repeated investigations, he found that there were no loopholes in his thoughts, and Xia Yu immediately made up his mind. His plan is not difficult, even simple, but it is sinister and easy to work. That is to sell Li Jiacheng, reveal the news of his secret purchase of Hutchison Whampoa shares to Qi Dezun, and ask Qi Dezun to target Li Jiacheng! Although Li Jiacheng is now regarded as a top-notch bigwig among Chinese capital, whether it is capital, influence, contacts, etc., it can only be regarded as the bottom of the first-class. With the loss of the first mover, he absolutely cannot withstand the suppression and targeting from Hutchison Whampoa. In the previous life, Li Jiacheng secretly wanted to attack Wharf, was discovered by the Jardine Consortium. He couldn''t resist the pressure of Jardine, and finally came a big shift and gave Wharf stock to Bao Yugang, which not only made a fortune , And got the favor of Bao Yugang. Later, with the help of Bao Yugang, Shen Bi sold part of the Hutchison Whampoa shares in the hands of HSBC to Li Jiacheng. With the strong support from HSBC and Bao Yugang, the number one Chinese capital at the time, Li Jiacheng resisted the pressure and fought against Qi Dezun in Hutchison Whampoa. In this life, without Bao Yugang''s favor, Li Jiacheng''s aura was obscured by Xia Yu''s powerful aura, it is hard to say whether Shen Bi will give Hutchison Whampoa shares to Li Jiacheng. Just relying on Li Jiacheng''s own secret purchase, how many shares can he get? The shares won are not many. If Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s bad target is ushered in, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Jiacheng, who is the most profitable, may choose to bow his head and exit. What''s more, the current situation in Xiangjiang is very unfavorable to the British capital. Xia Yu is strong, and he has taken the lead everywhere, only to defeat the Yihe fight. For all British capital in Hong Kong, this kind of thing happened once is enough! Never allow it to happen again! Otherwise, the situation will definitely collapse, making the Chinese capital think that the time has come, which will lead to a collective attack by the Chinese capital. At that time, the war will be inevitable and all British capital will be affected! Therefore, neither Hutchison Whampoa nor other British consortia will allow Li Jiacheng to succeed! "Hey, Li Jiacheng, I''m sorry! You should honestly develop your Yangtze River Holdings!" After that, Xia Yu thought for a while. Compared with Wang Qi, it is more appropriate for Liu Tianci to disclose the information through HSBC, not only without risk, but also more convincing. After thinking about it, he immediately called Liu Tianci. After learning about Xia Yu''s order, Liu Tianci quickly guessed the inside story, shouting in his heart that the boss is insidious, and Li Jiacheng silently felt sad. After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu in a good mood continued to get busy. ... Office of the Chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Headquarters. "Tuk tuk!" "Come in!" Werry raised his head, and when he saw the incoming subordinate, he made a slight movement of his eyebrows and gently put down the pen in his hand. "What''s the matter?" "Chairman, I found out who was secretly buying our company''s stock!" Some subordinates who were panting immediately replied. Werry was startled, and immediately sat upright, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Who is it? How did you find it?" The subordinate quickly said, "It''s Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong!" "This news was learned by our people while chatting with an employee of HSBC Securities. The employee of HSBC Securities happened to remember a few anonymous accounts. We followed the clues he provided and quickly found out. The person behind it was really It''s Li Jiacheng!" Wei Li nodded slightly and remained silent, actually already believing his subordinates in his heart. Although Li Jiacheng is inferior in strength and has a lot of Whampoa, he is indeed qualified for this thought. Again, this clue was obtained from HSBC Securities. After all, HSBC Bank is British-owned, and HSBC Securities also has the ability to know many unknown news, and it is reasonable to know this clue. Werry raised his head, and said to the a little nervous subordinates: "You write the details of the matter to me, right away!" "Ok!" The subordinate nodded heavily, and then went out. It didn''t take long before he came in again and gave Werry the process and evidence sorted out in his hands. Without saying anything, Wei Li took these things and went to Qi Dezun. ... Qi Dezun was in a good mood, because Shen Bi was stabilized by him! He and Shen Bi have a good friendship, and he is also an old world, knowing that the interests are the most important. HSBC''s disappointment with Hutchison Whampoa is not because Hutchison Whampoa''s investment returns are not profitable, it is nothing more than money. Just this time, Qi Dezun wants to increase his shareholding, which also costs money. Therefore, Qi Dezun directly borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars from HSBC. With this loan, HSBC can benefit a lot. In addition, seeing Qi Dezun¡¯s actions, Shen Bi felt Qi Dezun¡¯s attitude, so after careful consideration, he planned to continue to look at it and give Qi Dezun another chance to see and see Remember whether Whampoa can glow with a second spring. Because of this, Shen Bi promised not to sell the shares, and Qi Dezun got the funds and ammunition to buy the shares, and his hanging heart dropped more than half. But he still did not fully believe in Shen Bi. After all, the promises and guarantees were broken. As long as there are enough benefits, any treaty may be torn up. To be on the safe side, we still have to find out the poisonous snake lurking in the dark as soon as possible and clean it out thoroughly! At this moment, Werry came to the door! "Werry, you are here, sit down!" Qi Dezun put down the kettle for watering the flowers, said with a smile, and led Wei Li to sit down on the sofa. "Mr. Qi Dezun, we have found out who is hitting our idea." Just after sitting down, Werry said, opening the briefcase and showing out the investigation and evidence. Qi Dezun, who wanted to make tea, froze in the air, and then immediately looked at Wei Li with scorching eyes. He could not help but take the investigation report and evidence that Wei Li had brought out and looked at it carefully. "It turned out to be Li Jiacheng?" Qi Dezun murmured unexpectedly, but his tone couldn''t help revealing a touch of ease. It¡¯s not Xia Yu! Although the strength of Li Jiacheng and Xia Yu is not much different, Li Jiacheng is absolutely inferior to Xia Yu in terms of the threat to Hutchison Whampoa. After all, the **** facts are still vivid! The powerful Jardine consortium has all overturned in front of Xia Yu, not to mention that he is stuck in a quagmire and is weaker than the Jardine consortium Hutchison Whampoa! "Mr. Qi Dezun, it is Li Jiacheng. As long as he does not unite with other Chinese families and rich people, our danger will not be too great." Werry nodded and said. Qi Dezun nodded slightly, agreeing with Werry''s statement. "For half a year, he shouldn''t snipe us for money. After all, he is not playing finance. If he wants to eat us, he will not unite with other people." "This is much easier!" "By the way, have you found out how much equity Li Jiacheng has acquired in our company?" Qi Dezun asked suddenly. Wei Li immediately shook his head and said, "No This is hard to find." After a pause, he went on to say: "However, based on the analysis of the stock market transaction records we collected before, the shares acquired by Li Jiacheng should not exceed 8%, and possibly even less." Qi Dezun did not speak, but pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "It should be what you said." "However, no matter how much equity he has, he must be cleared out, and potential threats must not be allowed to exist!" Qi Dezun said decisively and immediately gave instructions.

Chapter 400: Horse 0 army out One day passed, Xia Yu stretched and turned to look at the enchanting shadow next to him. At this time, Li Qian was facing Xia Yu, bending down to sort out the documents, making Xia Yu a little bit ready to move. Just because Li Qian was already plump, she wore a black skirt with a covered hip, showing the perfect arc in front of Xia Yu. And his upper body is a black lady''s short-sleeved suit and a white shirt as the base, but because of the chubby chest is really magnificent, when she leaned down to organize the documents, the pair of beautiful things that quivered slightly with the movement made Xia Yu was amazed. Xia Yu smiled at the corner of her mouth, crossed her hands, and quietly admired Li Qian''s perfect and attractive figure. At this moment, he seemed to feel the exhaustion of his body due to a hard day''s work. This kind of pleasure of physical and mental relaxation made him intoxicated. Li Qian can indeed be regarded as a good helper. Although she is quiet for many times, she takes care of all kinds of things very well. Many things do not need Xia Yu''s instructions, and Li Qian can make the cumbersome preparations ahead. , So that Xia Yu can easily start. Xia Yu can also live without Li Qian, but with Li Qian, Xia Yu can live very easily and at ease, whether in life or work. In addition to helping Xia Yu, Li Qian''s own personality also made Xia Yu very fond of her. She was gentle and elegant, she was not unreasonably irritable, and she knew how to care for people and had various advantages, so that as long as Li Qian was by Xia Yu''s side , Xia Yu will unconsciously relax physically and mentally. In addition to these advantages, the most prominent is undoubtedly Li Qian''s goblin appearance. With such a seductive beauty every day, Xia Yu is more passionate and motivated to work. So before she knew it, Li Qian, like a spring breeze and rain, had gradually stepped into Xia Yu''s heart, occupying a room quietly in Xia Yu''s atrium like a luxury villa. I don''t know when, Li Qian had already packed up the papers and turned around, only to find that Xia Yu was looking at herself in a dream, with a charming smile on her handsome face. "What are you looking at?" Li Qian felt sweet in her heart, and a touch of shyness appeared on her beautiful face. She stretched out her jade hand and shook it in front of Xia Yu, her pink lips pursed slightly. Xia Yu woke up and looked at Li Qian¡¯s cute appearance. Xia Yu suddenly took her hand and pulled the unprepared Li Qian into her arms. Amidst Li Qian¡¯s exclaim, Xia Yuxie smiled and said, "Of course it is. Look at this young master¡¯s great beauty!" "Huh~" ... After an indescribable fight, Li Qian sat plumply on Xia Yu¡¯s lap, her whole body was held by Xia Yu, Zhenshou leaned on Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder, turning her head to look at Xia Yu like a knife. On the face, exhaled and asked, "Xia Yu, are you staying at home tonight?" With that, Li Qian looked at Xia Yu affectionately. She asked this because Xia Yu went back to his house last night and the night before, and let her live at home alone. Although there was a nanny living in the room below, she still felt very lonely, only Xia Yu When she is by her side, her heart can be completely settled down. "Hey, miss me, right, you little fairy, let''s see how I clean up you tonight!" Xia Yu grabbed a demon hand on Li Qian''s fat chest, and said with a smirk in Li Qian''s charming voice. Although Jiao Chu couldn''t help shaking again, Li Qian didn''t care at all. Instead, she was immersed in joy, because she knew that Xia Yu would be with her again tonight. "Okay, it''s getting late. We won''t go home to eat tonight. I will take you to Harbour City to eat delicious food. By the way, I will also see how prosperous my Harbour City is at night." Looking at the time, he found that it was seven o''clock in the evening unknowingly, and the night had come, Xia Yu patted Li Qian''s **** and said. "Well, listen to you!" Li Qian stood up obediently, tidyed up Xia Yu''s clothes, and then walked outside with Xia Yu. Along the way, Xia Yu found that only a few employees in the company were still working overtime, and the others had already left. Xia Yu praised those employees and walked towards the door with Li Qian. But before he left the door, Li Wuming stretched out his hand to stop Xia Yu and reminded: "Boss, don''t go out so fast." Seeing Li Wuming''s expression a little serious, Xia Yu raised his brows and thought of a lot. He nodded slightly, and then pulled Li Qian to a blind spot with a cover. Xia Yu''s reaction made Li Wuming''s expression loose, which confirmed Xia Yu''s thoughts even more. At this critical moment, Xia Yu''s vigilance is very high, and he has so many memories. Xia Yu knows all the darkness of the world very well, so he won''t have a fluke mentality. To put it bluntly, life is so good now, he hasn''t lived enough yet, but he doesn''t want to die so fast, so of course Xiaoming must be protected. Although Li Qian was a little nervous, she held Xia Yu''s arm tightly, which made her feel safe. "Brother Li, where is my brother?" Li Qian Shui Lingling''s big eyes glanced around the door, and found that Ma Qianjun, his older brother, who was always at the door, was not there. She asked Li Wuming with some worry. Upon hearing this, Xia Yu also looked at Li Wuming. After all, when he arrived at the company, Li Wuming usually stayed under the company, and he had more contact with Ma Qianjun, and this is true today. "He is out, there should be news later, and he asked me to stop you from going out, the boss." Li Wuming explained. Xia Yu''s gaze became deep, and he nodded imperceptibly, and couldn''t help but stare out the door in a dream. "It seems that this is the first time he has taken the initiative to do something, even he moved, it seems that the person who came is not good!" Xia Yu was expressionless and thought to himself. With reminders from Li Wuming and Yan Shining, even though Ma Qianjun had never said anything about him, Xia Yu still had guesses about the identity of Ma Qianjun, and he was 80% sure that Ma Qianjun was a killer before. And it''s still very awesome. Before Li Qian''s persuasion, Ma Qianjun finally reluctantly accepted a security position given by Xia Yu, but he spent time in the company every day and rarely interacted with people. Even when facing Xia Yu, Ma Qianjun didn''t have a good face, just like an ordinary person, only when facing Li Qian, Ma Qianjun''s attitude changed drastically. But now, I heard from Li Wuming that Ma Qianjun, an iron knot that hasn''t moved for tens of thousands of years, has taken the initiative to take the initiative to let Li Wuming stay in the company to prevent Xia Yu from going out. This shows that in Ma Qianjun''s judgment, there is danger outside! And Ma Qianjun should be out of danger now! "Cici, it seems we won''t be able to go to Harbour City tonight." Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s hair with regret and said It doesn''t matter, wait until you are free before going there, anyway, Harbour City is yours. " Li Qian said with a light smile. "Haha!" Xia Yu smiled, stroked Li Qian''s jade hand, did not speak any more, waited quietly. "Da da da¡­¡­" I don''t know how long it took, a series of steady and powerful footsteps came from far and near. "Boss, he''s back!" Li Wuming looked like a torch, recognized Ma Qianjun''s figure, and said back to Xia Yu. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! Chapter 401: showdown When a neatly dressed Ma Qianjun appeared at the door, Li Wuming asked first: "How?" Ma Qianjun nodded towards Li Wuming, then looked at Xia Yu, especially Li Qian beside Xia Yu, with a touch of affection in the corner of his eyes, but did not speak. "Let''s go up and talk!" After speaking, he took Ma Qianjun, Li Wuming and others upstairs and closed the door tightly, but found that Ma Qianjun still did not speak, but raised his brow towards Li Qian. Xia Yu knew what Ma Qianjun was thinking, so he patted the back of Li Qian''s hand gently, and said softly, "Cici, you go into the back room, okay?" Li Qian pursed her lips, knowing that what a few men were about to talk about was not suitable for her to listen to, so she nodded obediently: "Hmm!" Then he entered the lounge in the office and closed the door. In order to better recharge and manage the company more vigorously, the soundproofing effect of the lounge inside is particularly good, so Xia Yu is not worried that the conversation of the three will be heard by Li Qian. "what have you found?" Xia Yu asked. "There were two killers. I sneaked up and killed one. He was wearing a PSG-1 sniper rifle. The other was too far away from me and retreated after seeing movement." Ma Qianjun said blankly, killing a person is as common as killing a chicken. Xia Yu''s expression became dignified. He didn''t expect to be a killer, and he also carried a sniper rifle. It was obvious that he wanted to kill him. You don¡¯t have to guess, these two killers are the hands of Old John! Because of the entire Xiangjiang, at this time, only the Keswick family had a deep hatred with Xia Yu. Not to mention that it didn''t take long for Old John to threaten him! "When did you find out?" Xia Yu asked. "I felt something wrong at around 5 o''clock this afternoon, and then I observed it secretly and found out where they were lurking, but if you didn''t come down, I didn''t tell you!" Ma Qianjun said lightly, and did not feel guilty for not telling Xia Yu. On the contrary, Li Wuming''s brows trembled. He didn''t notice this. He didn''t expect to be discovered by Ma Qianjun at 5 pm, but Ma Qianjun didn''t even tell him. This attitude of not caring about Xia Yu''s safety made him very dissatisfied. His Li family was all over Xia Yu. Xia Yu placed his father Li Chunqiu''s expectations on him, so Li Wuming attached great importance to Xia Yu''s safety. "You are not bad, but in this respect, you are not as good as me!" Ma Qianjun knew that Xia Yu and the others had guessed his identity, so he didn¡¯t hide his identity anymore, so he glanced at Li Wuming and said something that was easy to be beaten. This can be seen from Li Wuming''s cold expression and sharp eyes. Xia Yu pretended not to see it, and continued to ask, "Are there any key clues?" Ma Qianjun leaned on the sofa, changed his former silence and solitude, and looked at Xia Yu playfully for a while with Erlang''s legs up. When Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, he said, "Your head is very valuable. Someone offers a reward of five million dollars. , I want your life! I am a little tempted!" "Haha, although Yan Shining is good at strength, but there is no way to build a team for you in a short time. Now your rangers are scattered and brave, in the eyes of those mercenaries and killers, it is rubbish!" Ma Qianjun glanced at Li Wuming and continued. "As for him, his close-body strength is stronger than me, but his two fists are hard to beat four hands. In this era, a gun is better than a fist!" Hearing Ma Qianjun''s sarcasm and looking at Li Wuming''s face with violent blue veins, Xia Yu knew that he had to wake him up loudly. Although Ma Qianjun is his cheap brother-in-law, he is definitely not as important as Li Wuming! "I have been guessing why you talk so little before, now I understand it!" "You are easy to be beaten when you speak!" Xia Yu snorted coldly. "Ah!" Ma Qianjun''s face became cold, he glanced at Li Wuming, who was looking at him, was silent for a while, then glanced at the closed door, and then stared sharply at Xia Yu, and said in a deep voice, "If it weren''t for me to come back late , I will never let my sister follow you!" Xia Yu''s face remained unchanged, but his eyes became deep. On the contrary, Li Wuming, who was upset, had a cold face and snorted coldly, "Ma Qianjun, the boss is tolerating you everywhere. It is for the boss''s face. It is not that without you, we can''t protect the boss and the boss." Seeing Ma Qianjun''s face changed slightly, Xia Yu also felt it was time to clarify with Ma Qianjun. After all, in this special period, he has no intention of spending time with Ma Qianjun! Although he has thought about using Ma Qianjun as a senior talent for his own use, he is not temperamental, nor does he have so much patience to consume him! "Let me call you brother-in-law, let''s not waste it like this, and we will pick it out clearly today." When Ma Qianjun heard the words, his face straightened, and his eyes burned to Xia Yu. "I understand your love girl sincerely and worry that Cici will be in danger following me, but do you know that Cici does not care? You are always self-righteous, do you know what Cici wants?" "She has been alone since she was a child, without a family member by her side. Now she has grown up and found someone who can be entrusted to her for life. It is impossible for you as a brother to take care of her for a lifetime. If you don''t support it, you can forget it. Instead, you always want to hinder her pursuit Own happiness." "Do you think I''m not good to Cici? Or think that Cici will follow me and won''t be happy in the future? How do you know what Cici thinks?" "You don''t know! You just impose what you think on Cici, do you want Cici to be caught between us?" "Do you know that when Cici is alone, she often worries about what she is worried about, don''t you have any idea in your heart?" "Anyway, I will put my words here today. In this life, Cici will follow me. If you are willing to stay, stay, and if you don¡¯t want to stay, you can leave. I can guarantee Cici¡¯s safety, even if I die. It won''t make her trouble!" After speaking, Xia Yu leaned on the sofa, chin slightly raised, and looked at Ma Qianjun with contempt. In fact, these days, Xia Yu was also unhappy with Ma Qianjun, but Xia Yu did not show it because he was Cici''s brother. Now, since the matter is clear, Xia Yu can no longer bear it, and must let Ma Qianjun make a choice. You must first settle inside! Ma Qianjun didn''t expect Xia Yu to have such an attitude, so his angry expression kept changing, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes stared at Xia Yu indifferently. "Boom!" "Xia Yu, what''s wrong?" It seemed that the voice was too loud. Even though the soundproofing effect of the room was good, Li Qian still heard some noises. She knocked on the door, then opened it, poked her head out, and asked concerned. Xia Yu said with a gentle smile: "It''s okay, speak a little louder, you close the door first, and then go back at night to tell you." "Ok!" "Brother, don''t quarrel!" Li Qian nodded obediently, then looked at her brother Ma Qianjun and said nervously. "No, what am I arguing about, don''t think about it!" Ma Qianjun showed a gentle smile, looked at Li Qian dozingly, and said relaxedly. "Ok!" Li Qian smiled sweetly, and then closed the door again. Seeing Li Qian closing the door, both Xia Yu and Ma Qianjun''s smiles faded, and they continued to look at each other, while Li Wuming watched Ma Qianjun quietly. For a long time, Ma Qianjun let out a sigh of relief, and said somewhat sullenly: "You have won!" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved. Ma Qianjun laughed at himself and said to himself: "I have been walking on the tip of the knife until I found my sister. I thought that I could get revenge. I would take revenge earlier and return to my sister earlier, and spend my whole life owing her to her. Love replenishes her and makes her happy forever." "So I washed my hands, gave up my brothers, and planned to live an ordinary life." "But God''s will make people, I am still late to come back after all, Cici has gone abroad with you, I was worried that she was cheated by you." "I didn''t expect the worry to become a fact!" Speaking of this, Ma Qianjun clenched his teeth, clenched his fists and squeaked his phalanx, then loosened it somewhat dejectedly, and continued to talk to himself. "You rich people, none of you don''t care about it. Cici will follow you, so it''s hard to live a good life." "And you can cause trouble, I really don''t worry about letting Cici follow you." "But there is no way...I can see that Cici is really in love with you. In her heart, my brother is not as important as yours, but this can only blame myself. It took two years, otherwise... ¡­Ah¡­¡­" Xia Yu listened silently, feeling very emotional in his heart. He didn''t expect that he would be confused with Li Qian that night. Maybe this was arranged by fate. Ma Qianjun felt uncomfortable, and he did nothing. It was absolutely impossible for him to give up Li Qian anyway. He knew that it would be difficult for him to find such a gentle and considerate girl. What''s more, Li Qian had indeed entered his heart. "Xia Yu!" Ma Qianjun suddenly raised the volume and called Xia Yu''s name directly. Xia Yu looked at him quietly. "My sister is following you, I admit it!" "But if you bully her, betray her, I will never end with you, I will do what I say!" Ma Qianjun looked at Xia Yu fiercely, and said forcefully. "I love her!" Xia Yu spit out a few words, and said no more, the meaning was already obvious. Of course, Xia Yu was thinking shamelessly in his heart: "Scare me? Then I will have a child with Cici and let you be an uncle. I don''t believe you are willing to have a nephew without a father, and a sister without a husband!" Of course Ma Qianjun couldn''t guess what Xia Yu thought. He glanced at Xia Yu deeply, seeming to confirm whether Xia Yu was lying. After a long time, he stood up and walked outside. When he walked to the office door, he stopped, looked back at Xia Yu, and said, "Give me two days and I will solve the killer''s matter for you. These two days..." Ma Qianjun looked at Li Wuming. Li Wuming felt that he was underestimated, and he said with a cold snort, "Don''t worry, if you want the boss''s life, step on my body first!" Ma Qianjun said blankly: "I''m worried that my sister will suffer from Wuwang disaster!" "same!" Li Wuming spit out two words. "boom!" Ma Qianjun nodded, opened the door, and walked out without looking back. "Boss, this bad temper of Ma Qianjun, I really want to beat him!" Li Wuming complained a little unhappy. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Don''t talk about you, I want to beat him too!" Li Wuming suddenly smiled. "Well, it seems that these two days have to explain the profound things in a simple way and behave like a man with my head down. I hope Ma Qianjun won''t let me down!" Xia Yu shook his head and laughed at himself. "Probably not. Judging from his concern for the boss''s wife, he is definitely going to get to the bottom this time. He just doesn''t know what his methods are. There are only a few brothers he said!" Li Wuming said. "Hehe, I hope I won''t be disappointed..." Xia Yu smiled lightly, expecting Ma Qianjun to give him a huge surprise. "By the way, does your brother still have some manpower?" Xia Yu thought about it and asked Li Wuming. In this critical period, no amount of security forces are too much, and he will not put all his hopes on Ma Qianjun. If Ma Qianjun loses the chain, his life will be in danger. "Yes, he is the master of the extremely martial arts sect. He has trained many apprentices. I dare not say anything about firearms, but in terms of close combat, his strength is not bad, at least better than the half-bucket security guard Yan Shining is training now. " Li Wuming didn''t hide it, and directly reported to Xia Yu. "Let me tell my brother and let him send everyone out." "No, let me talk about it, don''t go back later, go to your house and have a meal." Xia Yu shook his head and refused. Li Wuming nodded and said no more. After that, Xia Yu first made a call to the Chunqiu Medical Center, and it was Li Chunqiu who answered the call. He said something to him, and then took Li Qian to the Chunqiu Medical Center. Chapter 402: Make insidious tricks (2 in 1 big "Someone has already failed..." Old John sat on the sofa, stroking the emerald finger on his thumb, muttering. And in front of him, stood an ordinary-looking old man, who was standing with his head down, waiting for the order of old John. "Can the police find out who did it?" Old John asked with a sinking face. "Patriarch, the dead killer is hidden on the top roof of a private house. It is very remote. It is still a corpse found only after someone accidentally went on the roof. It was too late to find out. I asked. The killer did not leave anything on the scene. Trace, definitely an veteran!" The elderly report truthfully. Seeing Patriarch Old John frowning, the old man knew what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Patriarch, as long as the task is not completed, the killer will come in a steady stream, even if he can escape once or twice, he can''t escape three times!" Old John stretched his brows, nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "What else?" "Have!" The old man nodded immediately, and then said: "Xia Yu should have known that there was a killer who killed him, so now his security forces have been strengthened a lot. No matter where he goes, he also brought Yan Shining and three other bodyguards in addition to Li Wuming. " "Besides, his family is not going out, even his younger siblings did not go to school." Hearing this, Old John''s brows that had just stretched frowned again, feeling a little depressed. He just wanted to assassinate Xia Yu, but he didn''t expect Xia Yu to have an expert beside him, but he didn''t know who the expert was! And most importantly, Xia Yu must have known that he was on the assassination list, so he strengthened his prevention. This feeling of "I just started, the enemy knew everything" made Old John very upset. But this can''t blame anyone. If you want to blame, you can only blame that the killer who went in the beginning is not the best, and that Xia Yu has an expert around him. "The bodyguards are inseparable. If you want to be a tortoise, you can protect your family, but I don''t believe you can protect your minions!" "If you don''t come out, then I will force you out!" The old John had evil spirits in his eyes, secretly made a decision, and ordered the old man. "You go¡­¡­" After listening, the old man nodded, then quietly stepped back. Seeing the old man''s back, Old John narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. ... The headquarters of the Hong Kong Police Force, the Criminal Security Department, and an office. "Brother Jun, don''t forget to take advantage of your younger brother when you become more developed!" Xia Jun was looking at the newspaper in his spare time at work. A police officer at the table next to him turned his head and saw what was reported in the newspaper about Xia Yu, and immediately flattered Xia Jun. He didn''t feel ashamed because he called Xia Jun''s "Brother Jun" who was five or six years younger than himself. "Yes, yes, Brother Jun, the stock **** is your brother, with his support, you will definitely rise up, and don''t forget the brothers who have struggled together in the future!" "Yes, Brother Jun..." Others came over and said something almost flattering. Xia Jun just nodded his head with a smile, and said the face-saving words that everyone likes to listen to, and he was not complacent. He was used to this kind of scene. Not only is he used to it, even his colleagues in the office are used to it, and even his leader takes good care of him and will not embarrass him. All this is because others know that he is Xia Yu''s cousin. Of course, this relationship was spread by others, not by himself. Although he has a solid background, Xia Jun is not arrogant, humble, and often treats guests to dinner, which makes his reputation very good. Although he has only been in the job for more than half a year, he is very good in the office. At this moment, the door of the Office of the Criminal Security Department was suddenly pushed open, and two people walked in. They saw the two people sweeping around the door, their eyes focused on Xia Jun who was surrounded by the crowd, and face blankly. Xia Yu came. Two strangers from other departments came to the office, and the people in the office also felt that the atmosphere was not right. It seemed that the two of them were a little bit irritating. More importantly, looking at the armband, these two people are from the action department! The Hong Kong Police Force has three departments, two major departments and four structures. The three are military uniform, plainclothes, and political department. The uniform department has a uniform uniform, which is the main force of patrol, similar to later patrols. The plainclothes department is responsible for the criminal investigation of organized crimes, and has close contact with the community. Chinese people are generally in this department, and can climb up to the position of police chief, which is often called the position of inspector. The Political Department, relatively independent, is directly under the leadership of British intelligence agencies. The above three major parts are only the types of police officers, and they are not separate into three departments. Just like an office, there are two kinds of police officers, military uniforms and plainclothes. In terms of status, they are somewhat similar to later generations of civilian police and auxiliary police, but the actual status of plainclothes and military uniform is higher than that of auxiliary police. The two major divisions are the Operations Division and the Management Division. They are respectively managed by two deputy chiefs under the chief of police. Under the two deputy directors, there are two senior assistant directors each, and the four senior assistant directors are in charge of four departments. The four offices are divided into the Operations Office, Criminal Security Office, Personnel Training Office and Supervision Office of the same name. According to the literal division of rights, the Operations Division and the Criminal Security Division should be attributed to Li Sita, the Deputy Chief of Police and the Chief of Operations Division. The Personnel Training Department and the Supervision Department should be returned to Han Yili, the deputy director of the police and the director of the management office. However, Shi Lirong, the Commissioner of Police, who took office in 1974, is an old fox who has a deep understanding of power checks and balances. Although the director of the management office and the director of the operations office are both at the rank of deputy director, their actual status is slightly lower than the latter. In order to make the two subordinates less conscious of other thoughts, Shi Lirong adjusted their rights, changed the Criminal Security Division and the Personnel Training Division, and became the Director of the Management Division under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Security Division and the Supervision Division. The power of Li Sita, the deputy chief of the police department, has been weakened, making the two of them equal in strength and turning a blind eye to their struggle. Especially over the years, he is very old, and many things are beyond his ability. He is about to enter 1979 and is about to retire, so his attitude has become more and more elusive. Because the power of appointment and removal of the Commissioner of Police is in London, and the Hong Kong Governor and the former Commissioner of Police also have the right to recommend, as the change of term is getting closer, the struggle between Li Sita and Han Yili has gradually disappeared from the secret. As it surfaced, Shi Lirong had an ambiguous attitude and turned a blind eye! Therefore, the Xiangjiang Police Department, which appears to the outside world to be very mysterious and solemn, is actually full of internal contradictions. Now the people from the operation office ran to their criminal security office and looked wrong, so the office was quiet for a moment, and everyone watched what they wanted to do. I saw the police officers from the two operation offices walk up to Xia Jun. One of them took the photo and compared it again. After confirming that the wrong person was not found, he put away the photo and said to Xia Jun: "Xia Jun, there is a case. I need you to help us investigate and come with us!" Hearing this imperative tone, Xia Jun frowned and realized that the visitor was unkind, but he didn''t panic. Instead, he asked, "Your operations department needs me to cooperate with the investigation. Did you give instructions to my boss?" "Yes, our Criminal Security Department is also an operational department. You are not a supervisory office. Let our people cooperate with the investigation. Have you got our boss''s instructions?" A person next to him said in support. Of course, there is another person who is more clever, thinking of going directly to his boss, making a quiet exit from the office and coming to the room where the boss is, only to find that there is no figure in sight, so he hurriedly asked a colleague: "Where is Sir Hu?" "Sir Hu led the team out half an hour ago. I don''t know when he will be back." "Oops!" The secret path made a terrible sound. This person ran back right away, but happened to see the person in the operation office holding a piece of instruction and saying, "Sir Lei directly ordered, please come with us." Seeing the signature on it, the others shut up immediately, and even Xia Jun''s heart sank, frowning and wondering what was going on. Lei sir''s Chinese name is Lei Shize. He is an Englishman. Of course, the most important thing is his position. He is the senior assistant director of the police operations department, assisting the deputy director Li Sita to manage the operations department and talk to them in the criminal security department. Second in command Yan Liguo is at the same level. Below the Senior Assistant Director, there are Assistant Directors, Chief Superintendents, Superintendents, and smaller ranks. Xia Jun¡¯s immediate superior, Hu Sir, is just a Superintendent. In front of Leishi, there are enough shoes. . Even if Sir Hu arrived, he had no guts to stop him when he saw this instruction. Knowing that he must go, Xia Jun cleared up his mood, stood up and said, "Okay, I''ll go with you." "Let''s go!" Seeing Xia Yu walking outside sandwiched between the two, it was obvious that he looked like a prisoner. Many people were puzzled. After Xia Jun disappeared, the office suddenly became noisy. "Sir Lei directly gave the order and passed our boss. How serious did Jun Brother commit?" "It''s impossible for Lei Sir not to know that Brother Jun is the brother of the stock **** Xia Yu, and now he is asked to assist in the investigation. Could Brother Jun really commit something?" "Impossible, how can Brother Jun commit anything? He is not short of money, I think there must be something tricky in it!" "I heard that the boss over there is very hostile to our Chinese, and he has done something for Yihe. During this period of time, the stock **** beat Yihe all over the floor to find teeth. Could it be that the above struggle caused Brother Jun..." "Ahai, be careful!" For a time, the atmosphere in the entire office was very different. And a young police officer sitting in the corner rolled his eyes around, and then said that he would go to the toilet with an excuse. It''s just that he didn''t go to the bathroom, but quietly left the police station, went to a public telephone booth, bought a copy of Jiuding Daily, and dialed a number on it. ... Xia Yu returned to Jiuding Newspaper Company with a gloomy expression and asked the company''s customer service staff: "What did that person say?" "Boss, the man said... said that your cousin Xia Jun was taken by people from the Operations Department of the Police Department to assist in the investigation. I must tell you, he said this." The customer service staff reported cautiously. Xia Yu''s face was as sinking as water, and she continued to ask, "Did you ask who is calling?" "Back to the boss, I asked. The man said he was Lan Tao and he was a colleague in the same office as Xia Jun." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and after sending out the customer service staff blankly, his brows were slightly frowned and he fell into thought. Li Qianxiu on the side looked at Xia Yu''s distressed appearance, and a touch of worry appeared in her eyebrows. "You have to ask Li Junxia about this to make it clearer..." Thinking of this, Xia Yu turned out the phone book to find a number, picked up the phone on the desktop, and dialed the number. Li Junxia was the first Chinese chief superintendent, although above him there were a division chief, two deputy division chiefs, four senior processing division chiefs and eight assistant division chiefs. There were also more than ten chief superintendents at his level. One. But he is barely considered a high-level person in the police department. The most important thing is that Li Junxia happens to be the chief superintendent of any department in the Criminal Security Department, and is the immediate superior of Xia Jun''s immediate superior. Xia Jun mixed up well in the police department, and it was also because Xia Yu and Li Junxia greeted him, which made Li Junxia take care of Xia Jun. Li Junxia also knew more about Xia Jun''s situation. At this time, something happened to Xia Jun, so he naturally wanted to let Li Junxia follow up. "Hey, who do you look for?" There was a strong male voice on the phone. "Li Sheng, this is Xia Yu!" "Oh, it turned out to be Xia Sheng, hello, hello, do you have anything to do with me?" Hearing that it was Xia Yu, Li Junxia''s attitude instantly became enthusiastic. "I would like to ask you something. Do you know what Xia Jun committed? He was taken away by the people from the operation department, and the operation department held the sign of Lei Shize." Xia Yu finished the key message in one go. Li Junxia on the other end of the phone was shocked, and blurted out: "Xia Sheng, I haven''t received a report saying that Xia Jun was taken away. I''ll help you ask now." "You don''t know? Then, let me ask you something first, and then help me check the situation later." "You tell me NVC''s information. The key is his attitude and social relations. Even if it is a rumor, you can tell me. By the way, there is also Li Sita''s information. Tell me what you know." Xia Yu frowned slightly, stopped Li Junxia''s movements, and asked. "..." "Okay, I see, please check it as soon as possible and call me back next time!" "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu''s brows were still not stretched. According to Li Junxia, ??NVC is an iron subordinate of Li Sita, the deputy chief of the police department. He is loyal to Li Sita and has a strong temper. In addition, NVC is biased towards the British. On the other hand, NVC¡¯s boss, Li Sita, who is the second-in-command of the Hong Kong Police Force, is more selfish, has mixed social relations, and is very enterprising. I heard that he has close contacts with the British consortium and helped the British consortium. Many things are just for the support of the British consortium. Li Junxia''s boss is the second-in-command of the Criminal Security Department, senior assistant director Yan Liguo, and the first-in-command is Han Yili, deputy director of the police. Although Han Yili is British, his position remains neutral. Xia Yu has also contacted him several times because Han Yili is a customer of Jiuding Securities. On the contrary, Li Sita has nothing to do with Xia Yu, and has sent him two invitation letters, but never came. "Boom!" "NVC is only looking at Li Sita. Li Sita is very close to the British consortium. Could it be that Jardine instigated him to do it?" Xia Yu had a more certain guess in his mind. "Ring Ling Ling..." Just then the phone on the desk rang again, and Xia Yu quickly connected. "Do you know what happened?" "Xia Sheng, I mobilized my contacts to ask, but without asking anything, the Operations Office said that Xia Jun was involved in a major case and needed to be isolated and reviewed and cannot be contacted now! I''m really sorry, I am not strong enough..." Li Junxia told the truth about the investigation result and said apologetically "It''s okay, thanks for your hard work! Excuse me, if you have any news, please let me know as soon as possible." "By the way, thank Xia Jun for me, the colleague named Lan Tao in the same office." "Okay, don''t worry!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu pondered for a moment before dialing another number. Since Li Junxia''s level is not enough, Xia Yu can only find someone with enough level to help! Chapter 403: Treat the other body by his way "Hey, Director Han, hello, I am Xia Yu..." "It''s like this. Just now, the Operations Department took my cousin Xia Jun away. He said he was cooperating with the investigation of a case. He had a very bad attitude. But as far as I know, Xia Jun has never committed any crimes. You know, He doesn''t need to do this kind of thing either." ... "Then please help me ask what is going on, take care of him, don''t let him be wronged, thank you!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu''s eyes flickered, and then he made another call to Xia Lei, asking him to be vigilant during this period of time, so as not to avoid others'' words, Xia Lei naturally patted his chest to make sure. Xia Yu had to tell Xia Lei again and again. After all, it is now obvious that the two heads of the Operations Department of the Xiangjiang Police Department are going to be the swordsmen of the Jardine Foundation. Presumably, the relationship between Xia Lei and Xia Yu is clear to them. If the Operation Department wants To deal with Xia Lei, as long as he grasped the handle, Xia Lei was absolutely unlucky. "It seems that the younger ones learned from the old ones, and the whole family can only use crooked ways, huh!" "More than money? Who is afraid of whom!" "Five million dollars to buy my life, is it too despising me? My life is only worth five million dollars?!" "It makes me uneasy, don''t think about it, and see if you die fast or I die fast!" "I don''t know if Li Wuming found out where the mission is to be released, but unfortunately I didn''t have time to ask Ma Qianjun where is yesterday..." Xia Yu squinted his eyes and thought to himself, deciding to treat him in the same way. Since the Keswick family dared to cross the line of assassination, they must be prepared to be killed. At the same time, their energies were restrained, so that the Keswick family couldn''t focus all their attention on dealing with him. Although Xia Yu has a lot of memories, for this era, the distribution of the dark organization''s stronghold in Xiangjiang is not clear. The only one I know is an organization of the British. Xia Yu is not stupid enough to go to them to announce the assassination of the Keswick family. Task. So Li Wuming, who has been in Southeast Asia for many years, can only do it. After all, Southeast Asia in this era is indeed a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. On the dotted islands, there are many sites of underground organizations or pirate robbers. Li Wu has definitely contacted. . ... Xiangjiang Police Department, Office of the Director of Management Department. Yan Liguo, director of the Mobile Security Division, sat opposite his boss Han Yili. After listening to Han Yili''s instructions, Yan Liguo should have carried out it immediately, but he still sat with some worries in his heart. Seeing this, Han Yili raised his brows slightly and asked, "What are you worried about?" "Sir Han, don¡¯t we keep being neutral? This time Li Sita and NVC are obviously doing things for the Jardine consortium. Will we help Xia Yu attract hostility from the Jardine consortium? Will this? Not good for you?" Because it is Han Yili''s confidant and has a close relationship with Han Yili, Yan Liguo did not hide it. After speaking, he looked at Han Yili with sorrow. Who knows, Han Yili smiled faintly, and explained in Yan Liguo''s puzzled eyes: "You are wrong!" "Wrong thinking?" Yan Liguo was taken aback. "I and Li Sita compete fiercely, but you know the relationship between Li Sita and the Jardine consortium, don''t I help Xia Yu, the Jardine consortium will abandon Li Sita and support me instead?" Han Yili said lightly. "will not!" Yan Liguo shook his head without thinking. "Since it is already doomed, what if I help Xia Yu do things even if I sin against the Jardine Consortium? It is enough that I can get the support of the Chinese Consortium. Compared to before, my strength has increased." Han Yili said with a faint smile, and Yan Liguo nodded again and again, as if suddenly realized. "Of course, this is not the key. After all, only Director Shi Lirong and the Governor have the right to recommend. What do you think their attitudes towards Chinese and British capitals are?" Han Yili asked with a smile, looking at Yan Liguo expectantly. Yan Liguo contemplated his eyebrows and said for a long time: "Your Excellency Governor and Shi Shi seem to have a neutral attitude, neither side is biased. Even if the Jardine Foundation and Jiuding Financial Group fought back and forth during this period, the Governor did not intervene and the attitude was neutral. ,it should be no problem?" "no problem?" Han Yili smiled, shook his head and said, "Neutral attitude is the biggest problem. Do you think neutral attitude is fair?" "If you look back on the past few decades and compare it to the present, will the former Governor be like the Lord MacLehose?" "Neutral attitude is actually leaning towards Chinese capital, because in the past the governor''s position was completely biased towards British capital." Hearing this, Yan Liguo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it was really the case. "At our level, don''t limit your horizons anymore, learn to underestimate the big picture." "London''s attitude towards Xiangjiang is to reduce social conflicts, maintain the stability of Xiangjiang, and develop Xiangjiang, so your Excellency MacLehose is here. You have to know that the former governor was either from the military or from other colonies. Only His Excellency MacLehose was originally a diplomat, which means that London''s attitude has long changed." "Do you think that the period of Chinese capital''s rapid growth is not exactly the period when the Lord MacLehose was in power?" "His Excellency MacLehose is concerned with the overall situation, the implementation of London''s will, and even the attitude towards Chinese capital, is also related to the relationship with the other side. Since the United States and the other side established diplomatic relations, London''s attitude has changed." Hearing this, Yan Liguo''s heart moved. He knew that Han Yili had a relatively deep background and had a lot of connections in London. Now it seems that he really knows a lot of deep-seated things. Han Yili paused for a moment and continued. "His Excellency MacLehose governs Hong Kong, the premise is that a stable environment is required. Our police department is the key." "The Jardine Foundation supports the Labor Party. Li Sita is also a member of the Labor Party. His Excellency MacLehose and I belong to the Conservative Party. Director Shi Lirong is a Liberal Party. There will be a general election in China next year. The Conservative Party is already In planning to regain power, Hong Kong has belonged to the Conservative Party for so many years. Do you think that His Excellency MacLehose would like the Labour Party to take up the position and let the police become his constraint?" "will not!" Yan Liguo resolutely shook his head and said. "In that case, why don''t we help Xia Yu? I don''t think your Excellency MacLehose wants the Jardine consortium to stretch out so long and use the sacred political rights as a knife to resolve business grievances!" Han Yili smiled and said confidently, quite a gesture of strategizing. After the words stopped, Yan Liguo was full of emotion, and said admiringly: "Sir Han, I have benefited a lot from listening to your instructions. I will definitely learn from you in the future." "Haha!" Han Yili laughed happily Go, you should come forward first, don''t let the little guy named Xia Jun be wronged, we just need to save face, be careful not to take the initiative to expand the contradiction. Let them expand, understand? " "I know!" After speaking, Yan Liguo stepped down respectfully. Watching Yan Liguo close the door and leave, Han Yili picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip, feeling very relaxed and happy. Of course, even though Yan Liguo was his confidant, Han Yili still didn''t tell him something, that is, Xia Yu was really generous. Not only can he use the opportunity to calculate his competitors, but also gain Xia Yu''s friendship, the most important thing is that he still has real benefits. How can Han Yili not do things that do multiple things in one fell swoop! There was even a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if expecting someone''s response. Chapter 404: Snake nest Indonesia, the capital Jakarta. Jakarta is a seaport city, the largest city in Indonesia and the economic center of Indonesia. Because of the relatively high standard of living, there are more entertainment venues in Jakarta. In a corner of northern Jakarta, a street is full of entertainment venues, bars, red light districts, gambling stalls and so on. A man in a black trench coat and a wide-brimmed dome hat walked into this street and wandered aimlessly on the road. Because it was night and he was still wearing a hat, pedestrians passing by could barely see his exposed chin. However, as long as the person is not stupid, he can feel that this person is a little strange, so he will not actively provoke him. I don''t know how long he has been walking, the man stopped at the door of a bar, slightly raised his head, revealing Ma Qianjun''s angular face. "Dancing in the dark, ha ha..." Ma Qianjun''s gaze stayed on the red light sign for a few seconds, the corner of his mouth curled up, then he retracted his gaze and walked inside. As soon as I entered, I saw the common scenes of bars, the dance floor where demons danced wildly, the stage for singing as high as possible, the dark corners, and the innermost bar. Ma Qianjun glanced around quickly, his eyes flickering again and again, then slightly lowered his head and walked towards the bar. Sit down and threw a banknote to the bar. Not waiting for the enchanting barbeau to ask, Ma Qianjun lowered his throat and said, "A cup of Bloody Mary." "Please wait!" Looking at the man whose face was shrouded in hat, the enchanting beauty''s eyes flashed with doubt, Yushou threw the money on the table into the box, and then said in a coquettish voice. Sitting on the bar, Ma Qianjun watched quietly with the entire bar scene. "Bloody Mary is done, please use it slowly!" "Thank you!" Ma Qianjun picked up the wine glass, looked at the bright red liquid, shook it gently, and took a sip, seeming to miss something. Seeing Ma Qianjun''s movements, the enchanting beauty felt a little familiar, and she couldn''t help but pay more attention. "Next is the long-awaited dark night combination, and I will present a song for everyone..." "Night! Night!" "Call~" Amidst the cheers and applause layer after layer, a group of four people stepped onto the center of the stage. A young man in his 20s walked to the drum set, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat in front of the keyboard. Standing on the left with a guitar, the middle-aged uncle with curly hair and a scar on the corner of his eye stood in front of the microphone with an electric guitar. None of the four people in the dark night group spoke, they concentrated on brewing feelings, and the crowds off the court suddenly waited with bated breath. "Boom boom boom..." With the sound of the drums, an exciting melody sounded, and the blood flow of the listener increased. Ma Qianjun smiled at the corners of his mouth and stared at the four people performing passionately on the stage. His body swayed slightly with the familiar melody. He was moved by the unique smokey voice of the curly-haired middle-aged uncle''s lead singer. I still remember that every time after completing a task, everyone would gather in this small bar that has been bought as a stronghold to relax and vent. "Rattlesnake, Five Step Snake, Viper, Coral Snake, I see you again..." With the end of the intense and vigorous heavy metal rock and roll, the dark night group retired amidst enthusiastic cheers and lingering voices. Ma Qianjun recovered and wanted to drink, but found that unconsciously, a cup of Bloody Mary had bottomed out. Ma Qianjun shook his head and smiled, put the cup on the bar, and subconsciously looked at the enchanting beauty on the bar. It happened that the enchanting beauty also looked at Ma Qianjun, because Ma Qianjun did not deliberately lower his head, so the whole face was completely in front of the enchanting beauty. Seeing this dreamlike face, the enchanting beauty was stunned, her eyes flushed and she smiled silently. The expression of surprise from the heart made Ma Qianjun smile and looked at her with a smile. "Yeah, what''s the matter with our big beauty, it''s rare, you all have cat urine, haha!" At this moment, after the performance, the four members of the dark night group came to the front of the bar, a middle-aged man with curly hair and scars on the corners of his eyes, laughing while walking. Seeing the enchanting beauties who would quarrel with him in the past, there was no reaction. The middle-aged man was surprised. He looked at Ma Qianjun, who was facing away from him, and felt very familiar. "Master...Father?" Instead, the twenty-year-old young guy behind the middle-aged curly hair shouted in an uncertain tone. Hearing the words of the little brother Wu Ying, the other three people were stunned, their eyes all turned towards Ma Qianjun, and their eyebrows stared. "I knew you would come back!" The enchanting beauty finally spoke and murmured with a tearful smile. "I am back!" Ma Qianjun smiled at the enchanting beauty, took off the hat he was wearing, stood up and looked at the four middle-aged people with curly hair, and said with a faint smile. "Master! It''s really you!" The handsome young guy Wu Ying shouted in surprise, ran to Ma Qianjun''s side, firmly grasped Ma Qianjun''s arm, eyes full of excitement. "Just come back!" The curly-haired middle-aged smiled and punched Ma Qianjun. Ma Qianjun didn''t dodge, letting him hit his chest with a punch. "Speak upstairs, I''ll call the other brothers over." The curly-haired middle-aged man said with a smile, and Ma Qianjun nodded without speaking. "The audience is free tonight, and you can pick up your own drinks, everyone!" The curly-haired middle-aged yelled to the audience, and the room was silent at first, and then like an erupting volcano, cheers and thanks came one after another. "Wow! It''s so cool, everyone drink to your heart''s content!" "thank you boss!" ... Then, Ma Qianjun and the others went upstairs. After a while, many people came out from the crowd or corners and walked upstairs. When they saw Ma Qianjun''s figure, everyone was surprised. Finally, after everyone came together, the person sitting at the door closed the door, and everyone looked at Ma Qianjun who was sitting above him. Ma Qianjun''s eyes slowly swept across everyone, his eyes full of nostalgia and smiles. Ling Fei, middle-aged with curly hair, code-named "Rattlesnake". The enchanting bar beauty Sun Qing, code-named "Green Snake". Young handsome boy Wu Ying, code-named "Five Step Snake". Li Kui looks ordinary middle-aged, code-named "Viper". ... All of them were good brothers who accompanied him to life and death. He thought he would never come to them again, but he did not expect to reunite with them again after more than a month. It''s just that now I see their familiar faces, but I feel that this short month is so long. Fortunately, everyone is here, no less! "Brother, I knew you couldn''t leave us behind, welcome back!" The curly-haired middle-aged Ling Fei smiled and said with his unique smoking voice. "How are you doing during this time?" Ma Qianjun asked with some emotion Fortunately, after you left, none of us took the job anymore. We have been living here all the time, the bones are crisp, and we will wait for you to come back and continue to lead us. " "You should know that a snake without a head is just a dead snake." "Yes, Boss, we''ll just wait for you to come back." Ling Fei shrugged and said, and the others nodded happily. Ma Qianjun smiled openly, and was very moved in his heart. He could feel this strong brotherhood. But in his heart, there was a sense of guilt. The brothers have been waiting for him to come back, but he came back because he needed them. This kind of comparison made him feel very uncomfortable. What he wanted to say, suddenly couldn''t say it. Seeing Ma Qianjun''s smile converging in silence, everyone felt the atmosphere was not right, and the smile on his face involuntarily closed. Chapter 405: Horse head is looking "Brother Jun, what''s the matter with you? This is not like you before. Did something happen to you?" The enchanting beauty Sun Qing who sat down next to Ma Qianjun stabbed him with her finger and asked worriedly. Hearing Sun Qing¡¯s words, the other people¡¯s hearts suddenly burst. Ma Qianjun¡¯s apprentice, the young handsome Wu Ying lost his composure and asked urgently: "Master, are you in trouble? Tell me, I will definitely help you. ." "Big brother, what''s the matter? Could it be that something happened to your sister?" Ling Fei thought of something, his eyes narrowed, and asked worriedly that he knew that Ma Qianjun was leaving for his sister. Hearing what they said and seeing their true feelings revealed one by one, Ma Qianjun felt even more uncomfortable. He didn''t want them to guess any more, so he shook his head and said, "My sister is all right now." "just now?" "You mean there may be danger in the future?" "Who is it, brothers follow you to kill all the enemies, and see who dares to hurt our sister!" "That''s right, brother, you give us the order directly, you know, we don''t frown!" Ling Fei grasped the key point and hurriedly asked. The others also reacted and said babbledly. Ma Qianjun''s heart was warm, but the shame in his heart continued to increase. The brothers'' feelings towards him are sincere and pure, and although he is sympathetic to them, but now there is a trace of other things mixed in. "Big Brother, you saved my life. If you see us outside, you don''t treat us as brothers!" "For more than a month, my brothers'' idle bones are almost crunching, just waiting for you to come back and take us to continue our turmoil. If you have any tasks, just order it!" Ling Fei looked at Ma Qianjun like a knife, and said in a loud voice. After speaking, he clenched his fists and straightened his arms. "Yes, big brother, I''m tired of the days of fading out a bird, and I look forward to coming back out of the world with you!" Li Kui said in his violent loud voice, and stretched out his arm as he said, fist and Ling Fei bang together, looking expectantly at Ma Qianjun. "Big Brother..." ... Others also said one after another, and gathered their fists together. "When did I become so indecisive?" Seeing everyone¡¯s sincere and expectant gazes, Ma Qianjun¡¯s heart was shaken, as if he had gone back to the past. All his worries and negative emotions were wiped out. Since the brothers didn¡¯t care, he would really be a mediocre person if he thought about it more. ! He really needs the power of his brothers, and taking his brothers under Xia Yu''s command is also a good way out for them. Although he had always had opinions on Xia Yu, he knew very well in his heart that Xia Yu was a hero and his future was limitless. If he invested in Xia Yu''s command, he would definitely not bury their talents and let them have no worries. Thinking of this, Ma Qianjun didn''t say much, stretched out his fist in the joy of everyone''s eyes, and bumped into everyone. "Life and death together!" Ma Qianjun glanced across the faces of everyone, and solemnly said a familiar slogan. "Life and death together!" The others shouted together, and then burst into laughter, it was joy from the heart. "Hahahaha..." After a long time, everyone calmed down, and everyone turned their eyes to Ma Qianjun, waiting for his order. "When I come back this time, I need everyone''s strength. Similarly, I want to find a way out for everyone." Ma Qianjun said slowly. Everyone did not speak, but looked firmly at Ma Qianjun, everything was self-evident, all listened to him. Although the brothers had no objection, Ma Qianjun had to make it clear. "When I went back this time, I found my sister. She fell in love with a person. If you have known each other in the past two days, then you should know that person is Xia Yu." Ma Qianjun said slowly. Ma Qianjun¡¯s apprentice Wu Ying said immediately: "Master, what you are talking about is the Hong Kong Chinese tycoon Xia Yu who just put up a reward? The one with a head worth five million dollars?" "Yes!" Ma Qianjun nodded and said. "Good guy, big brother, I didn''t expect the big girl to date Xia Yu. It seems that the big girl I have never met must be very good." Li Kui, who is relatively straightforward, sighed. Of course, Li Kui''s focus is here, but others are not. For example, Ling Fei guessed Ma Qianjun''s thoughts, and patted his chest directly and said: "Big brother, don''t worry, we are here, I see who can move Xia Yu!" "Yes, let alone five million dollars, it is fifty million dollars, and we can also protect him!" Ma Qianjun smiled, raised his hand slightly to calm everyone down, and continued: "I came back to find everyone. One reason is that I need everyone''s strength to protect the safety of my sister and Xia Yu." "The other purpose is to keep everyone stable. Over the years, we have been wandering around and have left a few brothers. Although we are taking care of their families, we cannot take care of them because we are not stable. In the old day, my brothers are not too young, and it is time to start a family. If you can¡¯t pass on the incense, how can my eldest brother have the face to live in this world?" Ma Qianjun''s words silenced everyone, and their expressions changed a little. Regarding this question, they hadn''t thought about it, but no one had ever wanted to mention it before. "Yes, it''s time to comfort me and think about the days to come." Sun Qing, who was sitting next to Ma Qianjun, said softly, but looked at Ma Qianjun unconsciously. Ma Qianjun''s observation ability is keen, and he naturally looks in his eyes, his face doesn''t change color, but some flickering eyes show that his heart is not as calm as he expresses. This scene was seen by all the brothers who knew it well, and many people exchanged their eyes, and even Wu Ying couldn''t help but smile. "Yes, big brother thinks so much for us, we really have to think about the future." "I used to do things for the employer, but now I do things for Xia Yu, that is, the employer is fixed. As long as I can follow my eldest brother and be with my brothers, everything else doesn''t matter." "That''s right, brother, we all listen to your arrangements, what you say is what you say." Everyone said that they were all willing to follow Ma Qianjun to do things for Xia Yu. To them, it doesn''t matter who they do things for, it''s the most important thing under Ma Qianjun''s command. Moreover, they looked uncomfortable about the affairs of Ma Qianjun and Sun Qing, and they took this opportunity to settle down and solve the big brother''s lifelong affairs. Of course, they would never say these things, lest Ma Qianjun would make excuses to fix them. "Well, brothers trust me, I will never let everyone down!" "The situation is urgent now and it shouldn''t be too late. Everyone quickly pack up and follow me back to Xiangjiang tonight." Ma Qianjun was as vigorous and resolute as in the past, making a direct decision. "Okay, brothers, copy guys!" After Ma Qianjun gave the order, everyone agreed in unison, and then the others got up and left and went to their rooms to pack their things. In an instant Ma Qianjun was left in the room, and Sun Qing who looked at Ma Qianjun with his eyes. The atmosphere in the room became a little different, and two people with different minds were silent until Sun Qing couldn''t help but speak first. "Brother Jun, you know what, I''m really happy." "Last time you let me stay behind, but you left, and we couldn''t find you. At that time, I hated myself and didn''t catch you. This time, I will never let you leave again. I will follow wherever I go." Sun Qing hugged Ma Qianjun''s arm directly, sandwiched his thick arm with his fat chest, and said emotionally. Ma Qianjun looked at Sun Qing, stared at her, looked at the affection in her eyes, he was silent for a long time, and finally reached out his other hand and gently touched Sun Qing¡¯s hair, stroking with Sun Qing¡¯s joyful expression His black and beautiful hair. Although Ma Qianjun didn''t say a word, Sun Qing was satisfied. This hard-hearted man finally melted... Chapter 406: If the tiger doesnt show its power, you treat me as a sick cat? In the early morning of the next day, Xia Yu rarely woke up at six o''clock to do Tai Chi, but slept with Li Qian''s body until half past seven. Even though the nanny had already prepared breakfast, it was 8:20 after Xia Yu finished breakfast. "I have some understanding of what Bai Juyi wants to express in "Eternal Regret". "The Spring Festival takes a short time and the day is high. From then on, the king will not come early!" "Falling weak, the beauty of beauty is a hero''s grave, I still don''t be a hero, the hero is more suitable for me..." With emotion in his heart, Xia Yu cleared up his mood and took Li Qian to the company. As soon as the car enters the company''s area, you can feel the gaze of the surrounding intentionally or unintentionally. These people are security personnel scattered around the company, either open or dark, protecting Xia Yu''s personal safety. Even after Xia Yu got off the car, he saw Li Wuyang''s figure in a hidden place. Since Xia Yu went to Li Chunqiu''s home and told him that he was assassinated and hoped that Li Wuyang would lend him his manpower, Li Chunqiu directly asked Li Wuyang to put aside his work during this period and spare no effort to protect Xia Yu''s safety. In this way, Li Wuyang and Li Wuming, the two brothers, protected Xia Yu''s safety. Li Wuming is stronger and is Xia Yu''s personal bodyguard. Although Li Wuyang''s personal strength is almost better than that of his younger brother Li Wuming, his martial arts team has a large number of men and plays a strong role. Xia Yu and Li Wuyang''s eyes collided concealedly, after which Xia Yu entered the company quietly. "Ring Ling Ling..." "Whose phone call is so punctual?" As soon as I sat down in the office, the phone on Xia Yu''s desk rang suddenly, and Xia Yu raised his brows and connected the phone with some doubts in his heart. "At 4:12 this morning, a lurker was killed and it has been cleaned up." A strong male voice came from the microphone. It''s Li Wuyang''s voice! "I see, trouble you!" Xia Yu said gratefully. "Should!" After speaking, Li Wuyang hung up the phone. He just reported the situation to Xia Yu and asked Xia Yu to be more vigilant, not to ask for credit. This kind of situation reporting method was originally said to be good, so Xia Yu didn''t care. Instead, it was Li Wuyang''s handling of the lurkers. "It seems that the temptation of five million dollars is big enough..." Xia Yu sneered and muttered to herself, eyes full of indifference. "But you hung me five million dollars, and I paid 15 million dollars to buy the heads of your father and son, and see who is the most seductive, hum..." Thinking of Li Wuming telling him last night that the assassination mission had been hung up, and that the three old John and his son would get five million dollars for one kill, Xia Yu felt better again. One night, this huge reward of 15 million U.S. dollars must have been fermented, maybe someone soon has already started it! "I don''t know if your Keswick so-called Hundred Years Clan has enough force to save your lives, huh!" A glimmer of expectation rose in Xia Yu''s heart. "I wanted to let you go. Since I have to fight hard, then I don''t have to think about that much!" "The tiger doesn''t show off, you treat me as a sick cat?!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu immediately went to the location of the Galaxy Fund. He wanted to activate his financial cannon again to bomb the ravaged Jardine consortium again, and let Old John know what to do with him. In addition to revenge, the timing is also very suitable. After all, as long as the killer is dispatched, the energy of the Keswick family will definitely be restrained. Even if the Jardine consortium is attacked again, the Keswick family will not have much energy to deal with it. Of course Xia Yu must beat the dog to the ground and scrape out a layer of meat! After coming to the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu immediately found Liu Xiao, Song Yang and others who were gathering in the operation room. After seeing Xia Yu, everyone respectfully said hello, looking at Xia Yu¡¯s eyes like a god, full of respect. "Boss, good morning!" "Good morning!" Xia Yu nodded towards everyone and said with a smile. "Liu Xiao, your eight team leaders come to my office!" Seeing the eight people standing neatly in a row, staring at him with fierce eyes, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said clearly: "There is another task that needs to be performed by you. This wave should be the end of the wave. I hope everyone will not let it go. I am disappointed!" "Boss rest assured, you will never be disappointed!" Everyone shouted in unison, full of confidence, and a full and confident spirit radiated from them. They don''t have enough confidence. After all, they have experienced the spiritual baptism of a series of battles. Their vision and concepts have undergone earth-shaking changes, and their abilities have been greatly improved. At least it won''t be the same as before when Jiuding Securities didn''t come to Jiuding Securities. Having gone through a war of more than 100 million yuan of funds, many of them became numb from the excitement at the beginning. Under the leadership of the boss, even the Yihe Financial Group of the Xiangjiang First Financial Group was beaten down by them, and several pieces of meat were severely torn off. Now in Xiangjiang, as long as they have a boss to lead them, they will no longer be afraid of anyone. This kind of self-confidence has gradually developed. "Very well, everyone must have this spirit!" "This time, it is the Jardine Consortium!" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Liu Xiao lifted people''s spirits, and a smile appeared on his face. "The Jardine Consortium is born at odds with me. He does not have me! This time I must beat the dog!" "You all let go of your hands and let me do it. With sufficient funds, I have one request. Give me as much meat as possible. The more miserable you trouble the Jardine Consortium, the happier I will be!" Xia Yu waved his hand and said boldly. "understand!" Everyone suddenly raised their eyebrows and responded in unison, each gearing up to show off their skills. When it was harder to do it before, the Jardine consortium was taken down. Later, because of the order of the boss, Xia Yu, he had to stop regretfully. But now that the boss has changed his mind, of course they can''t wait. The current Jardine consortium has suffered a great loss in strength compared to before, and its funds alone have been consumed by more than a billion. No, it should be said that they robbed more than one billion yuan. One trades and the other, the current Jardine Foundation¡¯s attack power has dropped drastically, and it lacks even the ability to protect itself. It is definitely the best time to attack at a time of weakness. Song Yang, Ma Kai, and others had already planned at this time to seize the opportunity to perform well, make up for the lack of previous performance, improve their status in the boss''s mind, and obtain a higher status after the Galaxy Fund is officially adjusted. "Go ahead, hurry up, and toss me to death!" Seeing that everyone couldn''t bear it Xia Yu smiled, waved and said. After the eight people left, Xia Yu thought for a while, picked up the phone, and began to dial numbers continuously. "Bao Sheng, I will carry out large-scale attacks on the companies under the Jardine Consortium. Don''t miss the opportunity..." "Li Sheng, later..." "Huo Sheng..." They beat all the big guys of the alliance in one breath. When they learned that Xia Yu had changed his previous attitude and started to make trouble again, they were all surprised, but very happy. And they were very interested in Xia Yu''s invitation and realized that it was an excellent opportunity. Anyway, it was made clear that Xia Yu was in the lead, and they only had to fight a tailwind at the back, and they could pick up the spoils at will. They would not have to come to a few more battles of this kind. "Old John, this is what you forced me..." The most powerful hero of rebirth ~: Embarrassing, I even made a copy and changed it back!

The full text of "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero" is updated on the book selection website, keep in mind the URL: Chapter 407: Snipe and snipe (2 Coming to the company early in the afternoon, Xia Yu unexpectedly discovered that Ma Qianjun was back, sitting on the inside of the company''s gate as usual. Xia Yu raised a trace of anticipation and walked over with Li Qian. "Just come back!" "Brother, you are back!" Xia Yu and Li Qian said one after another. Ma Qianjun showed a slight smile and nodded slightly towards Xia Yu. Since Li Qian was present, what Xia Yu and Ma Qianjun were going to say was relatively secret, and there was no need to let pure Li Qian know, so Xia Yu first sent Li Qian to the office, and then called Ma Qianjun to another office alone. As soon as he sat down, Xia Yu asked expectantly: "How is it?" Ma Qianjun said calmly: "All my brothers have already arrived, including me, a total of 18 people!" "Eighteen? Good!" Hearing this, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and couldn''t help but smile. The dragon does not live with the snake. Those who can be brothers to Ma Qianjun will definitely not be bad. Even if they are not as good as Ma Qianjun, they must be elites. Eighteen top killers suddenly came, and Xia Yu suddenly felt a sense of security. "Where are they?" Xia Yu couldn''t wait to see who it was, and asked Ma Qianjun. Unexpectedly, Ma Qianjun shook his head suddenly, and explained when Xia Yu frowned: "Now we are still investigating the situation, eliminating potential safety hazards, and ensuring that there is no danger. I will take you to see them again." Xia Yu stretched his brows, nodded in understanding, and said, "Yes." "Before this, there are some things I think we should discuss clearly." Seeing Ma Qianjun looking at him solemnly and saying, Xia Yu also straightened up and made a gesture of asking. "My gang of brothers are not bad. If you do things for you, you get the benefits, so naturally you have to take risks and responsibilities." "We have been mixing for so many years, and there are always some enemies. If they know that we have been incorporated by you, you should guess the risk." "In addition, since our brothers gave you their lives, you are responsible for all their affairs, including the life and afterlife." After saying these words, Ma Qianjun stopped and looked at Xia Yu indifferently, wanting to know his attitude. This kind of request is reasonable and reasonable. Of course, Xia Yu has no objection. He nodded without hesitation, and solemnly promised: "You can rest assured that I will never treat my own people wrongly. They are your brothers and my brothers. Worry, the incense will continue; if they are disabled, I will give them the end of their retirement life, even if they unfortunately sacrificed, their parents are my parents, and I will raise their children until they get married and start a business!" Ma Qianjun''s expression loosened, he agreed with Xia Yu''s promise, and then said: "Don''t worry, I just said that we will not bring you any risks. Those who oppose us have basically been wiped out. If there are fish that slip through the net, they will only find us, and will not affect you. This is the rule!" Xia Yu showed a smile, Ma Qianjun gave him a sloppy look just now, but he didn''t care too much, no risk is best for him! Analyzed from Ma Qianjun¡¯s words, Ma Qianjun¡¯s group of people is absolutely strong, otherwise Ma Qianjun would not be able to say that the enemy¡¯s "grass is eradicated". "Is there anything else?" Xia Yu asked. Ma Qianjun shook his head and said, "Nothing, that''s all! Can you first talk about your arrangements for us?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then asked: "You tell me what your brothers are good at first, so I can arrange it according to the situation." Ma Qianjun calmly said: "They are good at intelligence, assassination, firearms, close combat, etc." Xia Yu nodded and said in his heart that he found the treasure. He thought for a while and said: "The security on the surface, I have the Aegis security that Yan Shining takes care of, but secretly, I need a strength." "No problem, we can do it!" Ma Qianjun nodded easily and said. He has seen a lot of this kind of private power over the years, and none of those old big families have no private power. Although Xia Yu didn''t say anything specifically, Ma Qianjun already knew what Xia Yu meant. It was a private intelligence organization that would gather intelligence, espionage and counterintelligence, internal security, and external assassinations. Ma Qianjun is no stranger to these. After all, their Viper squad is a team with a complete system. The Viper squad can survive in the sea of ??swordsmanship, relying on no shortcomings. Especially in terms of assassination and intelligence, the Viper Squad is the best; complete intelligence can avoid danger while increasing the success rate of operations. What Xia Yu asked them to do now happened to be what they were good at. This is the best! "Okay, then I can rest assured!" Xia Yu nodded safely, pondered for a moment, and continued: "Since it''s an organization, then we have to choose a name. Do you have any ideas?" Ma Qianjun shook his head decisively and said: "No!" Seeing Ma Qianjun''s decisiveness, Xia Yu took a high look at him. It seemed that Ma Qianjun was cautious in his work. This is the best way, and he can be more assured! "Then I will take one!" Xia Yu thought for a moment, his eyes lightened, and he blurted out: "Just call Luo Internet Cafe!" "Ranet? Good name!" Ma Qianjun said something and commented. "As for what is needed to build a net, you can mention it and give me a list. If you need manpower, you can develop it. I fully support it. I only have one request. I have to know that Xiangjiang has a fly in it!" Xia Yu said solemnly. "Ok!" Ma Qianjun nodded solemnly. After that, I chatted with Ma Qianjun a few more notes, the conversation ended, Ma Qianjun returned to the following, Xia Yu continued to devote himself to work. ... The golden Uzbekistan falls, and the jade rabbit rises. Since today is the first day of the lunar calendar, there is a saying that "the new moon is not visible on the first day of the lunar calendar, because it is because of being trapped in the sun and the earth." Coupled with the occlusion of clouds blowing from somewhere, the night tonight seems even darker. In the Keswick family''s mansion, the lights in the past were changed from bright lights, and the indoor lighting was very weak. After a certain distance, it was impossible to see the specific situation through the windows. Around the mansion of the Keswick family, there are lush trees, and there are several independent mansions a little further away. In the dark night, even insects are not very active. If you look from a high place, you will see that inside the Keswick family¡¯s mansion, at the gates, in the courtyard, in the garden, on the roof, etc., there are special personnel guarding them, closely observing the surrounding areas. Everything is moving. It can be seen that the Keswick family raised the alert to a very high level. In the living room, the old John family of three are sitting together and discussing. "Be careful when you travel during this time. No matter where you go, make sure your bodyguard is by your side." Old John solemnly told his two sons. The two brothers Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick nodded heavily. They also knew that they were on the bounty list, and they knew with their toes that it was definitely Xia Yu. When he learned that his father and son were on the bounty list, Old John was heavy after the accident. Since he decided to use assassination methods to solve Xia Yu, he had this mental preparation, but according to his ideas at that time, the probability that they would be offered a reward was very low. It''s just that the development of the matter was beyond his control. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to have a master around him, who directly killed the killer, and knew that he was offered a reward. Reluctantly, Old John could only increase his vigilance, strengthen his vigilance, and increase the price at the same time, raising the five million US dollars to 15 million US dollars, trying to divert the attention of the killer from his family of three. After all, you can get 15 million dollars by killing three of them, and you can get so much by killing Xia Yu. In addition, the Keswick family''s security strength is not bad, and Xia Yu started from scratch after all. This strength is definitely not as good as them, and the assassination difficulty will be lower. As long as the killer is not stupid, he should know how to choose. Generally speaking, a part of the deposit is given for the release task, and then the rest is paid after the task is completed; or the person who receives the task thinks that the task publisher has enough strength to complete the task and then pay the full amount; of course it is also possible Give enough money in advance, but the last case is rare. As long as Xia Yu didn''t pay all the money in advance, then after the killer kills Xia Yu, the reward for the three of them will be cancelled and they will be safe. So what they have to do now is to keep their safety and put Xia Yu to death. "Boom!" "Patriarch, I have a report!" At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and then a voice came. "Open the door!" Old John said, the bodyguard standing guard by the door immediately opened a gap in the door to let people outside come in, and then quickly closed the door. "Patriarch, there was a killer who wanted to approach just now, but we were startled to retreat. After we got out of the alert range, we didn''t pursue it!" Here comes the report immediately. ... At the same time, just about six hundred meters from the Keswick family villa, on a big tree, a group of dark shadows remained motionless on the trunk. From the bottom up, I can''t find anything at all, I just think it''s tree trunks and leaves. But if you climb up the tree and look, you will find that there is a man in camouflage on the trunk, with black and green stripes on his face, and a hat made of leaves on his head. At this time, the man is holding a rod. The gun was aimed motionless. He has been lurking in the tree for six or seven hours. He has not moved, even a mouthful of water and a grain of rice. He was codenamed "Black Mamba", the sharpshooter of the Viper Squad, with his superb marksmanship, he was terrified of killing, and he was famous in the dark world. This time, Ma Qianjun led the Viper Squad into Xia Yu''s command, but Xia Yu was underestimated. They decided to go there with the name certificate, so after they came to Xiangjiang, they acted immediately. Suddenly there were three more missions worth five million dollars on the reward list, and there were still three of the Keswick family. Of course Ma Qianjun could guess who issued the mission, so he immediately decided to let the brothers do it. He is not a person who likes passive defense. It is the best way to kill the enemy directly. As long as the old John''s family is killed, Xia Yu''s danger will be lifted. Similarly, his sister will not be at risk of being affected. But after preliminary investigation and judgment, because the Keswick family''s defense is too tight, the best way is to snipe the enemy apart from a strong attack. In this way, the main task fell to the sharpshooter "Black Mamba" Dinke in the team, and the others cooperated with his actions. It''s a pity that the Keswick family was too vigilant. Even when Old John and others came back, they were surrounded by bodyguards when they got off the car. They couldn''t find a suitable shooting angle. In the end, they could only watch Old John and others return. Family. After night fell, the Keswick family¡¯s defense measures were also very sophisticated. The lights in the room were very dark, and curtains were drawn on the windows. With the distance and angle of the "black mamba" Dinke, it was impossible to see what happened inside. What happened, I don¡¯t know where the real target person is. Waiting until just now, the other brothers guessed about his problem, deliberately created some movement, and finally created an opportunity. When he saw a person heading to the middle villa to report, Ding Ke was full of energy and kept following the person through the scope. Then when the person entered, although he was out of Ding Ke''s sight for a short distance, he quickly appeared in his sight again. Although the lights were dim across the curtains, the figure of the man could still be seen under the high-powered lens. When the figure stopped, Dingke immediately realized that the opportunity had come. According to past experience, the figure should be in the living room, and the target figure should be sitting in front of the figure. Combining past experience, Ding Ke calculated quickly in his heart, adjusted his muzzle slightly, and stared at the judged position intently, instead of paying attention to the figure who just walked in. This is the best opportunity! Must seize the opportunity created by teammates! "Moved, in that position!" Seeing the spot where he was staring, suddenly there was a figure in Shandong, Ding Ke flashed a thought, the finger on the trigger did not hesitate to pull! "puff!" Due to the silence at night, even though the silencer was installed, there was still a slight air burst, followed by a 12.7 mm large-diameter steel core bullet bursting out of the muzzle. After a second or so, he looked through the scope and saw two more shadows moving. "puff!" "puff!" Ding Ke did not hesitate, fired two shots at those two positions again, and then immediately slid down the tree and retreated along the retreat route that had already been established. ... The camera turns, and the reporting staff is reporting the situation with Old John. After listening to the reporting staff, Old John frowned slightly, then stretched, and said to the reporting staff: "I see, UU reading did a good job, continue to be vigilant." "Yes!" The reporting staff immediately responded respectfully. Then when I saw that it was all right, I withdrew slowly. "Well, it''s getting late, rest early tonight!" Human psychology is so strange. The killer has never appeared, and Old John is still worried, but now he has appeared once and was forced to retreat. Instead, his hanging heart is let go. Looking at the time, Old John said to his two sons. "Good father!" "Ok!" The two brothers Henry and Charles responded. The impatient brother Charles, who had been sitting a long time ago, stood up first and wanted to go back to his room. "Hey!" At this moment, with the sound of glass cracking, Charles Keswick looked over subconsciously and saw a bullet hitting him, and then before he could react, he rushed into him heavily. Chest. "Do not!" "Charles!" Old John and Henry were taken aback for a moment, and then went crazy for an instant. The two people exclaimed and stood up and wanted to rush towards Charles, wanting to see what happened to Charles. At this moment, because the glass had broken, the two bullets that flew in again rushed in without obstacles, and got into the bodies of the old John and Henry and his son respectively. "There are snipers!" "Enemy attack!" "Doctor! Doctor!" This sudden situation was immediately discovered by the security personnel in the room. Someone shouted loudly and at the same time called the family doctor. At the same time, the security personnel in the entire villa area were alarmed. Some people stepped up their guard, and some people close to the house rushed into the living room. When they saw the three of Old John and his son lying in a pool of blood, everyone''s complexion changed drastically and immediately began to rescue them, calling the police and calling an ambulance at the same time. Seeking monthly ticket recommendation ticket Chapter 408: Helping the Mainland "Beep Beep Beep..." "Hmm..." The silent night was suddenly broken by a series of police sirens and the sound of ambulances. As soon as many people lay down, they were awakened by a large rush of sound. They immediately opened the windows and saw police cars guarding several ambulances. , Driving extremely fast in one direction. Many people suddenly realized that something major must have happened, and it must have been a major person, otherwise it would be impossible for a police car to clear the way. While ordinary people were still wondering, the entire three realms of politics, business and black in Xiangjiang were stunned by the sudden message that the three fathers and sons of the Keswick family, the controller of the Jardine Consortium, were attacked by snipers. Now the life and death are unknown! Messed up! Something happened! Everyone who received the news realized that a cloud of clouds appeared over Hong Kong Island, and a storm was about to hit! After all, it was the helm of the Jardine Consortium. If HSBC and Hong Kong Government House are aside, the Jardine Consortium is the proper boss. Old John, who is now the third heavyweight in Hong Kong, and his two sons were sniped. The impact was too wide. Many people expect that the three of the Keswick family will not die. After all, there is a big difference between serious injuries and death! Similarly, while paying attention to these matters, those wealthy families and wealthy individuals also stepped up vigilance overnight to avoid threats to their own safety in this unknown situation. 387 Queen¡¯s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong Island, was originally a near-completed hotel, but it was purchased and rebuilt by Xinhua News Agency in 1960 and became the resident of Xinhua News Agency¡¯s Hong Kong Branch. The Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency is an organization sent by China to Hong Kong. It is responsible for the news function of the Hong Kong branch of the National News Agency. At the same time, it has another important function, which is to contact the Hong Kong government as the highest representative agency of the Chinese government in Hong Kong. . The current first president is Wang Ping, who just took office in 1978, and the second president is Li Hua who took office at the same time. Within a minute of the accident in the Keswick family, Wang Ping received the information from the intelligence personnel. He immediately called the second in command Li Hua and other high-level officials over, and ordered the intelligence personnel to follow up immediately to ensure real-time feedback. information. At this time, in the meeting room of the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency, a cloud of smoke was engulfed. Both Wang Ping and Li Hua were smoking cigarettes, and both of them frowned. They have to pay attention! After all, the country is now at a critical period of high-level gaming, and foreign powers have done countless smears against China, and China''s diplomatic influence is very poor. Now the Keswick family of the Jardine Consortium has been assassinated, if they are splashed with dirty water On them, it will definitely cause a series of uncontrollable bad effects. "Now that things have happened, we must discuss a plan as soon as possible, what should we do!" Wang Pingyang, the first president sitting at the top, said solemnly. Sitting in Wang Ping''s lower left hand position, Li Hua inhaled a cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, and calmly said: "We must clean up our suspicion. Although our suspicion is not big, we still have to show it to the outside. , So as not to be splashed with dirty water by people with sinister intentions!" "President Li, I have an information to provide." The middle-aged man with a firm face sitting on Wang Ping''s lower right hand suddenly said, Wang Ping, Li Hua and others immediately looked at him. This person''s name is Lin Yong, who is the chief of Xiangjiang Intelligence, who is under the orders of the Xinhua branch and ranks third in the agency. "Last night, a corpse was found on the roof of a private house near Jiuding Newspaper Company. It was judged that the original owner of the corpse was a killer." "We followed the vine and found that on the underground assassination list, there was Xia Yu''s reward mission, five million dollars in reward for his life." "Combining with the situation that the assassin appeared, it was obvious that he wanted to snipe Xia Yu, but he was counter-killed, thus violating the corpse rooftop!" "The most important thing is that at around 4 o''clock in the morning today, the people below once again discovered that all three of the Keswick family, father and son, were on the reward list, and the rewards were all five million dollars!" Speaking of this, Lin Yong did not say much. What he wanted to say was already very clear. How to decide is up to Wang Ping. After all, although he is number three, the intelligence system is relatively independent after all. Not suitable for interfering in political matters, he is a soldier and he is not very good at it either. Upon learning of this information, Wang Ping and Li Hua were shocked by the huge amount of money, but also felt a headache. Now the situation is obvious, and the target is directed at Xia Yu. It should be Xia Yu who knew that he had been offered a reward, and then countered it. Xia Yu''s security force was not weak, and the killer was killed, but the Keswick family failed to protect themselves, allowing the killer to succeed. Combined with the thrilling business struggles during this time, Xia Yu''s grievance with the Keswick family is definitely not small, at least the suspicion is greater than them. Judging by the rationality of Wang Ping and Li Hua, this matter was basically Xia Yu''s work. But because of this, they feel tricky. Originally planned to help the Hong Kong government conduct a thorough investigation, and then separate their relationship, but now they found that the matter was related to Xia Yu, they were on the wax. Although both Wang Ping and Li Hua have been in office for less than a year, they are very clear about Xia Yu''s energy and strength. At the same time, they also know that Xia Yu''s attitude is close to the mainland. Similarly, the mainland senior officials also attach great importance to Xia Yu. The two of them were specifically asked to do Xia Yu''s work to maintain a good relationship. Now if they dare to find out the relationship with Xia Yu in order to clarify the relationship, and then shake it out, the high level in the mainland will definitely not forgive them. If this matter is done, there will be traces, and if it is known to other Chinese bigwigs, you will definitely feel chills and the impact will be very bad. So Li Hua¡¯s proposal just now declared bankruptcy! "This is difficult!" Li Hua frowned and muttered to himself with a headache. "It''s not a difficult problem anymore. The instructions given to us before are to help Xia Yu, Shi En and him as much as possible, and strengthen the relationship between us. Now that this happens, we may be a little troublesome. , But he will definitely not be in big trouble!" "If it''s a killer, he can prove his apparent innocence. Fortunately, if he did it, it would be really troublesome. The British MI6 is not good." "So shall we help him?" Wang Hua spit out the smoke ring, and the misty white smoke rose in front of him, covering his face, only to listen to him solemnly say. "But the president, if we help him and someone finds that our people are covering up, then we will become suspicious if we are not suspicious, will it?" A senior executive suddenly expressed his concerns. When these words came out, Li Hua and the others frowned deeper. "Time is urgent, and a decision must be made as soon as possible. Now MI6 is definitely looking into the news." Lin Yong reminded aloud that if you want to help, you should remove the traces as soon as possible. If it is too late, if there are any traces ~ www.novelhall.com~, it is very likely to be found. At that time, it was useless to help. "We have no right to make a decision on this matter, I suggest reporting it immediately!" It was very big at this time. Wang Ping realized that he could not afford it, so he no longer hesitated and offered his opinions. "agree!" "agree!" The others immediately agreed and agreed to report the situation. Seeing everyone agree, Wang Ping didn''t hesitate, and immediately picked up the red phone on the desktop and dialed a secret number. After three times, the call was connected. "This is the Xiangjiang branch of Xinhua News Agency, I am Wang Ping! Report to the leadership in an emergency!" At this time, in an office in a three-story office building in the Imperial Capital of the Mainland, the clerk who answered the phone heard Wang Ping''s words and immediately said a moment, and hurriedly went to find the leader. After a while, an old man with silver hair walked over quickly, connected the phone directly, and said in a vigorous voice: "I am Zhao Zhiyuan!" "Lao Zhao, what happened in Xiangjiang now..." Hearing Wang Ping''s detailed narrative, Zhao Zhiyuan raised his brows slightly, and remembered all the information about Xia Yu. After all, Xia Yu was in their files, but he focused on the subject. He pondered for a moment, and directly commanded: "Don''t have so many worries. The most important thing now is to let our overseas compatriots know our attitude, and try our best to remove the traces for him. If there is an emergency, report to me immediately." After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhiyuan pondered for a while, shook his head and smiled, and did not intend to report it. This kind of matter in Wang Ping''s view was very big, he could decide that it was not big enough to report it to the old man. After all, now, the game for the future of Huaxia has reached the most critical period. The question of Xiangjiang''s return is still time to deal with, but the choice of Huaxia''s road is the top priority! ... Chapter 409: Xia Yus backhand "Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" Just as Xia Yu had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed, the doorbell rang without warning. Looking up at the time, he found that it was half past nine in the evening, but he did not hesitate, but walked quickly downstairs. There are not many people who know about his residence. Now that he is bothering him at night, it must be just a few people, and it must be an important matter. "Are you here? Come in!" As soon as he opened the door, he saw that it was Ma Qianjun. Xia Yu was a little surprised, and asked Ma Qianjun to come in. Coming to the sofa and sitting down, Xia Yu poured a glass of boiled water for himself and Ma Qianjun and asked, "It''s so late, what''s the matter?" Ma Qianjun nodded indifferently, and said, "The three father and son of the Keswick family have now been sent to the hospital for rescue." "what!" Xia Yu was startled, blurted out, looked at Ma Qianjun with a calm expression, and questioned: "You did it?" Ma Qianjun nodded calmly and said, "Yes, my other brothers did the long-range sniper. They used a 12.7 mm large-diameter steel core bullet. Although I don¡¯t know the current rescue situation, according to normal experience, the victim survived. The odds are small." "Suck!" Xia Yu took a slight breath, calmed himself down, took a deep look at Ma Qianjun, and asked: "You said that they were going to investigate the situation in the afternoon, but they were actually going to ambush?" Ma Qianjun nodded, and said directly: "Since we plan to take refuge in you, we won''t come empty-handed. This is a nomination!" "Haha, this name cast is a bit big!" Xia Yu smiled and exclaimed, his expectations for Ma Qianjun''s team quickly rose, and he wanted to see what kind of talent it was that could easily break through the defense of the Keswick family. At this time, Xia Yu, after a momentary shock, was secretly refreshed. The Keswick family broke through the bottom line and wanted to assassinate him. Not only did they fail, but was killed by those who wanted to take refuge in him. That''s right, Xia Yu just wanted to kill it! Although according to Ma Qianjun''s statement, the three of Keswick and his son have been sent to the hospital for rescue, but Ma Qianjun''s attitude is that the probability of rescue is not high, and Xia Yu also thinks so. With those memories of European and American bigwigs, Xia Yu knows the power of guns very well. If it was shot by an ordinary pistol or a rifle at a long distance, the bullet would be more than 7:00 mm. As long as it was not hit by the key and the bleeding was stopped in time, it could still be rescued, just like Xia Lei before. But Xia Yu didn''t ignore every word Ma Qianjun said just now. He mentioned that the 12.7mm steel core bullet, which is a large-diameter armor-piercing bullet in the ordinary sense, was shot out by a sniper rifle. The power can penetrate even the armor of a tank. What about people? Even if the distance is a little far away, it is not a problem to penetrate the human body. If the bullet stays in the human body, it can slow the blood flow, but if the bullet penetrates the human body and leaves an unhealable ballistic trajectory, the person who is shot will bleed and die. I must be able to hear the "good news" at the latest tomorrow morning! After being happy, Xia Yu suddenly thought of a very serious matter, his face became serious, and asked Ma Qianjun, "Have your brothers hid them?" Ma Qianjun confidently said: "Don''t worry, we never do things that are uncertain. All risks are taken into consideration. No one can find out. After they completed their tasks, they also contacted me by public telephone. I haven''t seen them yet. ." "When I came, I also concealed my traces so that no one would find it." Xia Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "How did they come to Xiangjiang?" "I have taken this into consideration. I left Xiangjiang by a black boat, and brought them here by a black boat, leaving no trace. If the police want to investigate through the port channel, it will only waste time." Ma Qianjun said lightly, dispelling Xia Yu''s worries. "It''s not unreasonable that you can cross Southeast Asia." Xia Yu said with a smile. When Ma Qianjun heard the words, the corner of his mouth curled up, and then said: "Before the limelight passes, it should be inconvenient for them to see you." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "It is true. During this period, it is estimated that it will be a little troublesome. If you see me, it will be easy to find out." Xia Yu touched his chin and said with a light smile: "Maybe the police will come to me tomorrow, but I don''t know anything." Seeing Xia Yu''s appearance, Ma Qianjun couldn''t help showing a smile. "Okay, let me talk about something else. Since your brothers have completed the task, give me the account number and I will call you the money." Xia Yu narrowed his smile and said solemnly. Unexpectedly, Ma Qianjun shook his head and refused: "No, we originally planned to bring a gift over. We just saw the reward and decided to treat it as a gift. Even if there is no reward, we will do the same." Without waiting for Xia Yu to continue, Ma Qianjun looked into Xia Yu''s eyes and then said: "What''s more, you should know that people like us are not short of money, and what they pursue is not money, but the joy of life and the future." Xia Yu frowned slightly, then stretched out and nodded silently, with an answer in his heart. "If you say so, let''s do it!" "However, a lot of resources are needed to build the snare net. I will put out 100 million yuan. I hope you can build the snare net." "I will not let you down!" Ma Qianjun nodded and promised. After speaking, he stood up and said, "It''s getting late, I''m leaving now!" "Well, pay attention to safety!" "Even though you are old rivers and lakes, there are still risks. Cici definitely doesn''t want you to be in trouble." Send Ma Qianjun to the door, Xia Yu exhorted. Hearing Xia Yu mentioning Li Qian, Ma Qianjun''s expression loosened, and he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the top of the stairs. He seemed to be able to see Li Qian upstairs. He withdrew his gaze. Ma Qianjun nodded solemnly and took a deep look at Xia Yu. , Said: "I understand!" "Be nice to her!" After leaving a word, Ma Qianjun turned his head and left without hesitation, and quickly disappeared into the dark. Xia Yu glanced around and seemed to be able to see the security personnel hidden around him, nodding slightly, then turned around, closed the door, and returned to the sofa to sit down and meditate. "The reward was given by Li Wuming. There should be no problem. The deposit is also in the anonymous account of the Swiss bank, and I cannot be found." "But no matter how you look at it, I have the greatest suspicion. Whether the three of Keswick and his son die or not, I will definitely be in trouble. The police station will inevitably have to go, but as long as there is no evidence, there is nothing to do with me!" "But I can''t sit there, I have to wash away the suspicions, and have more people to share with me. Then, even if MacLehose wants to trouble me, he will have more scruples!" Xia Yu squinted slightly, thinking about it in his heart. He still understands this truth when the water is muddled beforehand! "Yes!" After thinking for a while, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and he thought of a very good idea. "I think Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others should award me a trophy as a leader in getting rich. After all, I will never forget them!" After speaking, Xia Yu did not hesitate, immediately picked up the phone and dialed Bao Yugang''s number. "Hello, who?" Hearing Bao Yugang''s majestic voice from the microphone, Xia Yu said in a solemn tone: "Bao Sheng, do you know the news? Something has happened!" "I know, I just wanted to call you. I heard that all three of Old John and his son were shot by sniper guns. The situation is very bad. This matter..." Bao Yugang first said what he knew, then said two words, and then dragged the ending sound and did not continue. Xia Yu pretended not to understand, and said gleefully, "It seems that they have offended someone, how much hatred, and how much grievance they have forced others to this step. It seems that the Keswick family must be pressing others into anxious Up." "I think so. The rabbit bites people in a hurry. Since the instigator has this ability, he will never walk this way easily. This can only blame the Keswick family for offending too many people." Bao Yugang was taken aback for a moment, then he was alert, erased the speculation in his heart, and said with a drink. Although he had an intuition in his heart that this matter was related to Xia Yu, looking at Xia Yu''s reaction, and thinking that Xia Yu would not suffer from the battle with the Keswick family, the doubt in his heart gradually faded. What''s more, he also woke up. Even if Xia Yu did this thing, it must be something the Keswick family did to make Xia Yu counterattack. Xia Yu is a good friend of his. There is no need for the Keswick family to affect him and Xia Yu''s relationship. "By the way, Bao Sheng, does anyone else know?" Xia Yu asked curiously. "They all know. They didn''t have time to call you just now because they have been talking on the phone with other people." "Presumably the entire upper level of Xiangjiang is in chaos now." Bao Yugang stated. "Yes, the Keswick family is the helm of the Jardine Consortium. Old John said at the time. Now that the three of the Keswick family, father and son, are in trouble, there is one Niu Bijian who can''t hold the place, but the Yihe consortium is sitting With so many gold mines and such a good opportunity, no one is not tempted!" Xia Yu said with emotion, and began to lead the topic in the direction he designed. Bao Yugang on the other end of the phone moved his heart and nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, the Jardine consortium had lost its prestige and its strength. Now that this kind of accident has happened, it''s difficult..." "You can''t afford to lose your chance. Now we happen to take the lead. Such a good opportunity must not be missed. Even if we don''t do it, other families and the rich will never hesitate." "Maybe Taikoo and other British consortia will also come forward, after all, the benefits are really moving!" Xia Yu continued to encourage. "Xia Sheng, what do you think?" Bao Yugang understood what Xia Yu meant, and he asked, wanting to know what Xia Yu had in mind. After all, Xia Yu had already proven his strength in this regard. "Bao Sheng, now it''s up to who is robbing more. We must have a greater advantage in the group. Or we can ask everyone to discuss it together, lest we compete indiscriminately and consume power internally." Xia Yu suggested. A gleam of light flashed in Bao Yugang¡¯s eyes, and he noticed something wrong from Xia Yu¡¯s positive attitude. He pondered for a moment, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay, I will inform them and let them come. My house, they should all be there at such a critical time." "Okay, I''m going to trouble you again, I''ll be there soon! Let''s do this first, I''ll talk about it later!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he hung up. Sitting on the sofa, Xia Yu didn''t leave immediately, but contemplated. "In the end Bao Yugang took the initiative to take the initiative to go to his house. It is impossible for him not to know that this matter will definitely be known by the Hong Kong government. It seems that he should still have doubts in his heart." "This time, I owe others love again!" "But it''s okay, I have a lot of debts, let alone I can afford it!" Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, ready to go upstairs and put on formal clothes before going out. Xia Yu originally wanted to clear his suspicions by gathering tonight. As long as the nine people are here tonight, and tomorrow, we will attack the Jardine Foundation in a frenzy. If Xia Yu hides a little or reduces his strength to make himself less prominent, his suspicion will be much smaller. The Hong Kong government will also join everyone in the investigation. check. When the Hong Kong government or the British found out that Xia Yu was on the reward list, and then came to investigate Xia Yu, Xia Yu was more confident to respond. After all, when you find out there, you will know that Xia Yu was offered the reward first, and that the Keswick family broke through the bottom line first, and then was killed by the counter-reward. That is beyond blame. But by then, the Hong Kong government will know it, and the upper-class gangsters of Xiangjiang will know that even if the Keswick family is killed, everyone will stand by Xia Yu. After all, the''suspect'' Xia Yu was just Urgently respond. The Keswick family deserves to be killed, after all, anyone who actively breaks through the bottom line deserves to die! If you can''t fight in the mall, you can play Yin, absolutely not allowed! This time it¡¯s because of the "suspect" Xia Yu¡¯s fate or strength. If in the future, the competition between Chinese and British capital becomes extremely fierce, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, or whoever of them caused the Keswick family to suffer losses , If the Keswick family also offered a reward for the killer, they would not be confident that they could survive. It''s better to take this time as a lesson, and let the competition be limited to the market, so that everyone will not be at risk! So at that time, it is completely predictable that even if this matter is really done by Xia Yu, all Huazi will stand on Xia Yu''s side. After all, Xia Yu''s behavior represents justice! Of course, even though Xia Yu had considered these things, he still felt unsafe, so he thought about dragging other people into the water. While sharing the suspicion, he also tied them to his side with profits. Acting together, they are Xia Yu''s accomplices. The Hong Kong government may have the courage to move Xia Yu, but dare to move the nine of them together? The answer is self-evident! After a while, Xia Yu got dressed After telling Li Qian to go to bed early on her own, Xia Yu drove to Bao Yugang''s house. Since Xia Yu was the furthest away, Li Jiacheng lived near Bao Yugang, and several other bigwigs also lived not far away, so after Xia Yu arrived, everyone else basically arrived, but Huo Yingdong arrived in Xia Yu Arrived in a few minutes. The matter was serious, and everyone didn¡¯t have any thoughts to chat. Bao Yugang, as the host, was the first to speak: "Everyone, now that the Keswick family is in trouble, the Jardine Consortium is completely exposed. The opportunity is very rare, although there will be The suspicion of falling into trouble, but even if we do not do it, a lot of people will do it. If we are eaten by others, our advantage will not be kept, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future!" "Yes, Lao Bao is right. There are not a few people who are about the same strength as us, and there are also veteran giants who are stronger than us. Thanks to Xia Sheng during this period, our strength has improved a lot, but the advantage is still not obvious!" "The stronger the stronger, in order to live better in the future, even if it is a stumbling block!" "Lao Feng, what you said was a stumbling block, just to get back what we deserved. Were there few Chinese capitals that Jardines bullied us before? How many of the companies under the Jardines consortium belonged to our Chinese capitals? It was just being forced by them. It''s only taken by Jihao. Have you forgotten the gloomy Liu Fukuan and the violent Wu Jianfeng?" "That''s right, it''s just taking back the benefits and doing it!" "Well, since everyone has no objections, then we negotiate a charter to avoid internal friction and strive to get the most benefits!" "I have brought the latest Jardine Consortium information, let''s take a look..." Xia Yu immediately took out the information in the bag and distributed it to everyone. After more than an hour, the discussion was over, and after the meeting was announced, everyone hurried back and set up overnight. Chapter 410: Solve 1 more trouble In the early morning of the next day, many office workers were on the road, passing by the newspaper stop, and found that the newsstand was surrounded by a group of people. The crowd exclaimed from time to time, "Janehe Consortium", "Keswick Family", The words "killer" are very attractive. They stopped and when they found that the source was in the newspaper in everyone''s hands, they immediately squeezed in to satisfy their curiosity. When I glanced at the newspaper stop, I found that all newspapers, whether they are finance, entertainment, gossip, or current affairs, have the same type of news on the big cover. "Shock! The life and death of the helm of the Jardine Consortium is unknown! ¡· "Xiangjiang is shocked to find a peerless killer, and the Jardine consortium leader died? ¡· "Frightening! The Jardine Foundation Building will be poured! ¡· "The future of the Jardine Consortium is gloomy, and the stormy waves are coming. Small and medium investors should protect themselves as soon as possible! ¡· ... A similar scene happened in various newsstands in Hong Kong and Macau. Because of the widespread dissemination of news newspapers, a series of news about the Jardine Foundation blasted through Hong Kong and Macau, and spread to Southeast Asia and Taiwan at an unparalleled speed. After reading the news, many readers felt a sense of urgency in their hearts after they were shocked. They quickly left what they were doing and rushed to the four major exchanges. They are all shareholders who hold shares in companies under the Jardine Consortium. After reading the newspaper, they can''t help but worry. The status quo of an enterprise, its prospects, and its suitability for investment are affected by many factors. But now, the soul of the Jardine consortium suddenly falls, and the chaos at the top is a foregone conclusion. With high-level instability, it is absolutely impossible for companies to develop with peace of mind. In terms of objective aspects, the Jardine Consortium was just hit hard by the Chinese capital led by the stock **** Xia Yu, and its strength was greatly damaged. Let go of the opportunity and get into trouble. The helm of the Keswick family was still unable to withstand some Chinese offensives. Now there are more attackers, but the helm has fallen, and there must be no way to resist. Now the newspapers in Hong Kong look at the bad news and the attitude of the consortium is surprisingly consistent. Public opinion explodes instantly and panic takes shape. The wise man immediately realized that this was the prelude to the big bosses who sent out to hunt the Yihe Foundation! Chaos inside, wolves outside! All these situations indicate that the Jardine Consortium is facing a disintegrating situation. Small and medium investors who are not qualified to become chess players will definitely become cannon fodder and there will be no leftovers if they do not quickly find a way to stay out of the matter! It is very rare for retail investors to kill dealers, not to mention that with the current combination of major dealers at the upper level, unless the sun hits the west, it is absolutely impossible to go against the trend! Time passed, and it was time for the stock market to open in a blink of an eye. The four major exchanges were crowded with people, and everyone held their breath and watched the market intently. "Fell! Still plummet!" "Even the market has fallen, the subsidiaries of the Jardine Consortium have fallen, and the affiliated companies have fallen too!" "This has fallen too sharply, I lost it, it has fallen by more than 10%!" ... Looking at the blood-red trading board, the exchange was suddenly chaotic, with screams, exclamations, and howls one after another, and many people had brain congestion, and even their eyes became red. "I''ve lost a lot of money, the Jardine Foundation is too bad, forget it, let''s run away!" "Hurry up and sell, but I borrowed money to buy the stock, if it gets stuck, it will be over!" Shareholders holding shares in the Jardine Consortium series of companies wailed and flocked to a place, rushing to sell their stocks to stop the loss. This situation has exacerbated the collapse of the corresponding company''s stock price. Although many stockholders are selling stocks, no one is buying at this time. Small and medium-sized institutions are limited in their strength and dare not buy. They know that there are already a group of predators sitting around hunting the companies of the Jardine Consortium, and they are simply not capable of grabbing food. The large financial institutions are either those of big bosses or they are commissioned by big bosses, and they are almost all the dealers of big and small villages. Now that the upper echelons have a tacit understanding, the Jardine consortium is too big to be enough for most people to eat meat and drink soup, so we must find a way to suppress the stock price as much as possible. Therefore, even though some industry leaders want to acquire a certain company, they will not do so quickly when the stock price is still plummeting. Everyone wants to get their favorite company at the lowest possible price. Opportunities are rare, how can they be wasted! Depressing the stock price is the most important thing! ... "Tuk tuk!" "Come in!" When Xia Yu raised his head, he found that the person who came was Yan Wenhan, and he was smiling. Obviously something was good. "Sit down and say, is there anything good?" Xia Yu put down the pen in his hand and said with a chuckle. "Boss, the Sing Tao News Corporation matter has been settled." Yan Wenhan said with a smile, and the news made Xia Yu happy and reasonable. "It seems that the second fool of the Press and Publication Administration hasn''t been too stupid!" Xia Yu smiled sarcastically. "Yeah, they don''t have any other skills, but they are not bad at seeing the wind! The following report, early this morning, they also took the initiative to call and say it''s okay. They don''t know how good their attitude is, haha!" Yan Wenhan smiled and agreed, feeling a little contemptuous of the people in the Xiangjiang Press and Publication Administration. In the past, relying on the Jardine consortium in the back, he tried hard to get stuck with Sing Tao News Corporation, and also came to trouble Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., not afraid to offend Xia Yu. But now as soon as I learned of the death of the Jardine Consortium, the official of the Hong Kong Press and Publication Administration immediately stopped, and seemed to want to remedy it. Hehe! "Just let go, remember this in advance, and see their follow-up attitude, if it doesn''t satisfy me, let them pay back slowly if there is a chance in the future!" Xia Yu sneered, but the knot in his heart was not solved. In the past, the Xiangjiang Press and Publication Administration handled the Jardine Consortium, but it was stuck with Sing Tao News Corporation¡¯s rectification issues. Although it did not cause much trouble to Xia Yu, it still made Xia Yu feel in a bad mood. And it didn''t cause trouble because Xia Yu asked someone to check and balance. Now I just want to let go. Don''t even think about it. Is his Xia Tycoon''s tiger tail so easy to touch? Now because the foundation is shallow and the depth of influence is not deep enough, there is no way to respond, but there will be opportunities in the future. "By the way, boss, there is one more thing. Now three advertisers have come to the door. They are the ones who sued Sing Tao Newspaper Group before. Now they want to make amends for us. They also said that the appeal has been withdrawn. You see What should I do?" Seeing the boss Xia Yu reply calm Yan Wenhan continued, waiting for Xia Yu''s order. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, and said: "No, send them away and add them to the blacklist. In the future, any media under the company will not report their company-related information or receive their advertisements." "Ok!" Yan Wenhan replied, silently mourning for these three businessmen, this kind of punishment is definitely the most serious for them. Jiuding Newspaper Company was originally a media hegemon. After the integration of Sing Tao News Corporation, it will become the leader among the leaders and will continue to grow in the future; while Li¡¯s TV station is a brother company, and will resist them, even if it loses its exposure. No matter how good their products are, they can''t sell them. Xia Yu''s light and fluttering decision completely cast a black cloth on the future of several of their companies, and the outcome is already predictable! For businessmen, cutting off their money will kill them! But Yan Wenhan didn''t feel sorry for them. Who made them willing to be guns for the Jardine Consortium, even if they were forced to do it, then why did others not want to do it, just they did? Since you have done something you shouldn''t do, you should bear the corresponding punishment! "Well, since it''s released, we should integrate it as soon as possible. Newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" have been suspended for a month. Resume publication as soon as possible to reduce losses!" "At this time, news from the Jardine Consortium has seized the hot spots. It is a good time to resume publication!" Forgetting the matter of the advertisers, Xia Yu told Yan Wenhan. "I''m ready a long time ago, and I can resume it in two days at most!" Yan Wenhan presented the situation respectfully. Xia Yu gave him an appreciative look, and said with satisfaction: "Well, I can rest assured when you do things, go!" Yan Wenhan responded respectfully. Chapter 411: Damn its not dead Sanatorium and Hospital, 2-4 Village Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong Island. In the corridor outside the operating room on the third floor, two rows of aisles were filled with people. Many people stood in the aisles, crowding the corridors. Everyone looked at the operating room, which was still lit, and some were grieving and praying. , Somebody chuckles... There are many nurses and doctors in the hallway accompanying them, constantly channeling the emotions of others. Nearest to the operating room, Niu Bijian, who was over 60 years old, was sitting impressively. He had not slept all night, his face was withered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the door of the operating room, as if he could see the rescue scene inside. general. If Keswick and his son were shot, who was the most stressed? It''s him! Even the collateral members of the Keswick family, the relatives or younger generations of Old John can''t compare to him, or even the opposite. Niu Bijian turned his head and looked at the group of people of all ages and children beside him. He saw that there was not much sorrow on their faces, and there were even some young people with inexplicable expectations in their eyes, as if they wished something happened. Looking back in the direction of the operating room, Niu Bijian was full of bitterness. Although he is the confidant of Old John, he is an outsider after all! Serving the Keswick family for decades, Niubi firmly knows the situation of the Keswick family. After all, the Keswick family has been a family for more than a hundred years, and the bloodline has multiplied for several generations. The family is relatively large, and all of them add up to 50 or 60 people. However, the helm of the Jardine Consortium has always been in the main line of Old John and the others. Most of the other branches enjoy some dividend benefits, at most, a small part of the equity of certain companies. Old John can hold them down, but if Old John is not rescued, and Old John''s two sons are not saved, then the main line of the Keswick family is really gone. Then no one inherits such a large amount of wealth. According to the law, it will automatically be transferred to other relatives of the Keswick family, but Niu Bijian knows that these are a group of people with good eyes and low eyes, and they absolutely can¡¯t keep it when the wolves look around. Live these wealth. How can they fight against the big bosses in Xiangjiang? If one is not good, the century-old Jardine consortium will fall apart. Just like now, the people of the Keswick family have never been so together, but most of them have no grief, and there must be many praying for the death of the old John and his son! "Patriarch, you must stand up! You are not here, I really can''t control the situation!" Niu Bijian kept praying in his heart. "Boom boom boom!" At this moment, a string of urgent footsteps came from the top of the stairs. When he saw the full hallway, he subconsciously lightened his steps, but he was still anxiously looking for someone. When he saw Niu Bijian at the farthest point, he immediately squeezed into the crowd and came to the side of Niu Bijian, took a breath, and said anxiously, "President, something has happened!" Niu Bijian came back to his senses and found that it was his secretary. He asked in a tired tone: "What''s wrong?" "All the media in Hong Kong are looking down on us. Now that the stock market is open, the stock prices of all listed companies under the consortium have plummeted, and unlisted companies are also in chaos. According to the analysis of the think tank, almost all the rich are in trouble and want to take the opportunity to annex our company. Even the Swire Consortium and Hutchison Whampoa are no exception. We simply cannot cope. Now all major companies are in chaos and people are panicking, because some shareholders of major companies have left the market by selling shares, and now the top executives of all companies are also in chaos, and the situation is very critical! " Niu Bijian''s secretary said anxiously, a pessimistic mood constantly eating away at his heart. "Is it already like this? Sure enough, they didn''t miss any chance..." After listening, Niu Bijian closed his eyes in despair. For a long time, he opened his eyes again to look at his secretary, and said in a low voice, "I see, is there anything else?" The secretary was shocked by Niu Bijian''s reaction. He recovered his senses and shook his head sharply and said, "No, that''s it for now! President, do you want to go back? If the chairman is not there, if you are not there, there is no way to stabilize!" "Ha ha!" Niu Bijian smiled bitterly, and said: "What''s the use for me to go back? I can''t stabilize it. The only way is for the chairman to rescue it. Otherwise, it doesn''t make much sense to go back, and it''s useless if I stay stable..." With that said, Niu Bijian also subconsciously glanced at the direction of the Keswick family. The secretary also looked over and could only be silent. "You go back first, record all the situation, try to stabilize the other high-level personnel, if you can''t stabilize it..." Niu Bi sighed firmly and said to the secretary. Although the words were not finished, the secretary already understood the meaning. "understand!" The secretary replied with a heavy head, and then left with a heavy heart. "Hum!" I don''t know how long it took, and suddenly there was a soft sound, and then the light in the operating room suddenly changed from red to green. Niu Bi, who was always watching, stood up violently, and the others squeezed forward. "Calm down, everyone, don''t squeeze, don''t squeeze! Go back! Otherwise the bed won''t come out! Please calm down!" When the nurse guarding the door saw this, her face turned pale with fright, and quickly opened her hand, shouting loudly to prevent others from crowding over. When things were getting better, the door of the operating room opened, and a few doctors wearing masks came out. Niu Bijian hurriedly looked forward to asking: "Doctor, how is the situation? Has the operation been successful?" The head doctor took off his mask and showed a painful expression. Niu Bijian''s heart was hit hard. He asked incredulously: "Doctor, what''s going on? Tell me!" "Yes, doctor, how is the situation? Three people were sent in, what about everyone?" "Doctor, please say it quickly, we are mentally prepared!" ... Others kept asking questions, and some of them didn''t hesitate to say what they shouldn''t say, but at this time Niu Bijian didn''t pay attention to it. The doctor finally spoke and said in a painful tone: "We tried our best, please be sorry The wounds of the three people are too big and they have lost too much blood when they are sent here, even though we rescued for more than ten hours overnight. ." "But unfortunately, John Keswick and Henry Keswick still suffered misfortunes. As for Mr. Charles Keswick, although he was rescued, his condition was very unstable and he still needs to continue to observe. However, Mr. Charles fell down. When the face hit a sharp object, the left eye has been removed, and part of the brain tissue has died due to excessive blood loss in the brain. Whether he can wake up is also a problem. Even if he wakes up, he may suffer from memory loss or confusion." "This is the situation, please prepare as soon as possible!" The doctor finished speaking, showing an apologetic expression to everyone, and then reentered the operating room. "Hehe, it''s over...it''s over...how could this happen..." Niu Bijian leaned weakly against the wall, muttering to himself with a sad smile. Old John is dead, Henry Keswick is also dead, the only temporary rescued is Charles Keswick who was in trouble, and one of his eyes was blind, either he will become a vegetative or a madman, what''s the point of saving it? use? Why not save it! The most damnable is dead, the most deserved to survive! It became a waste! A waste is useless to the Jardine Consortium! That''s it! The Jardine Foundation can''t save it! There is no need to save it! Niu Bijian leaned weakly against the wall, desperate in his heart. Among the Keswick family members nearby, some of them were grieving on the surface, but inexplicable expressions flashed in their eyes. Charles Keswick survived, but it was a problem for them. But the doctor also said that the condition is unstable, maybe... What no one noticed was that after listening to the doctor''s statement, an outsider quietly went downstairs, quickly left the hospital, and went to the Governor''s House by car. ~: The computer is broken, not tonight My old and broken laptop is not around. It is a desktop computer, but I used it well last night. It can¡¯t be turned on today. I turned it on more than ten times. It all showed no video input and entered sleep mode. Baidu After the problem, all the lines were removed and reconnected, but it was still useless. Jiangxi entered the rainstorm season again. Now it is raining heavily outside, and there is no way to go to the Internet cafe code word. I am really helpless. Since the various settings, data and outlines needed for the codewords are all in the computer, the mobile phone can¡¯t write at all, so tonight I can only write the outline and inspiration on the mobile phone. I disappointed everyone, sorry! Sorry everyone! "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" computer broke, not tonight Now you are playing, please wait for a while, after the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! The full text of "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero" is updated on the book selection website, keep in mind the URL: Chapter 412: Surrender Hong Kong Governor''s Mansion, Governor''s Office. MacLehose sat at his desk, closed his eyes and quietly listened to the latest situation from the Commissioner of Police Shi Lirong. "Intelligence came from MI6. The butler of the Keswick family accepted the order of John Keswick and offered a reward of five million dollars to assassinate Xia Yu. It is certain that the one who died accidentally on the roof of the private house near the Jiuding Newspaper Company Building. The man is the killer. After that, the three of the Keswick family, father and son, were also offered rewards, each of whom was offered a reward of 5 million U.S. dollars. According to analysis and reasoning, the reward was directed to Xia Yu, but unfortunately, so far, no proof has been found to prove that Xia Yu is The evidence of the indirect murderer is still under investigation. As for the killer who committed the crime last night, although we searched for martial law throughout the city, we searched all ports and airports and found no clues or traces. What is certain is that this killer has associates. We are still investigating. These ones. " After the report, Shi Lirong sat down quietly and looked at MacLehose, who closed his eyes and meditated. "Last night Xia Yu, Li Jiacheng, Huo Yingdong and others went to Bao Yugang¡¯s house for a secret gathering. Early this morning, they jointly attacked the Jardine Foundation. Based on a rational analysis, these people are also suspected. Have you investigated Huo Yingdong? What''s the trend of the forces below, Li Jiacheng and others?" MacLehose opened his eyes slowly and looked at Shi Lirong indifferently. Since receiving this news last night, MacLehose has been thinking about it, but has not made a decision. After all, whether it is Huo Yingdong, Li Jiacheng or Bao Yugang, there are other forces below, or support, or remote command. The force in their hands can not only protect themselves, but also be aggressive. But these people are big bosses, the presidents of various chambers of commerce or Optimus Prime, and they cannot be easily checked. Shi Lirong shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, all the news from the dark line shows that Bao Yugang and others have not given such orders, but there is no way to prove that they are not suspicious, but compared to Xia Yu, the suspicion is much smaller." MacLehose nodded slightly, his eyes became misty, and he didn''t know what he was thinking. After waiting for a while, Shi Lirong asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to investigate Xia Yu?" MacLehose frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about this problem. For a long time, he stood with his brows slightly and said: "Just now, John Keswick and Henry Keswick died, and the youngest Charles Keswick was rescued back. But it''s also abolished." Shi Lirong was startled, his brows furrowed tightly, and his heart shook. He secretly said that the Keswick family is over and the Jardine consortium is also in danger! Since the incident happened last night, the entire police station has been up and running, so he has never had time to follow up on the rescue of the three Keswick family and his son. He didn''t expect to come back. The Keswick family is over, the matter is more serious and more complicated, he has to consider more factors. No matter how powerful and valuable a person is, if he dies, he will have nothing. This is the case with the Keswick family! Why is the entire Keswick family so powerful? Isn''t it because of the controller Jardine Foundation? But it is John Keswick, the Patriarch of the Keswick family who controls the Jardine consortium, and other members of the Keswick family can¡¯t control it. When John Keswick and his heirs die, the Keswick family cannot control Jardine. The consortium will even continue to weaken due to chaos. On the other side, Xia Yu, the suspect, was in full swing at this time. Without evidence, to offend Xia Yu for the dead Keswick and his son, this is obviously worthless! However, whether to investigate, how to investigate, and how to close the case depends mainly on the attitude of the Governor. After all, Xiangjiang had an assassination with such a bad influence, and John Keswick was at the helm of the Jardine Consortium. As the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose could not shirk the blame and must give London an answer. Shi Lirong made up his mind to stop expressing opinions, and looked at MacLehose quietly, waiting for his instructions. For a long time, MacLehose said with a serious face: "Cha, also called him to the police department to take notes, and at the same time pay close attention to the reaction of his subordinates, mainly from the outside, pay attention to the scale." Shi Lirong''s old eyelids flicked, and he understood MacLehose''s meaning. He nodded and said, "I see!" After that, Shi Lirong left and hurried to the police station. When Shi Lirong left, MacLehose sighed and leaned back on the chair, massaging his temples with his fingers, with a distressed look on his face. As soon as the incident came out last night, he knew that the trouble was serious, and it didn''t take long for the news to reach London. London asked him to conduct a thorough investigation and asked MI6 to cooperate with him. He hasn''t slept for almost the whole night, and has been receiving the latest progress news all night, but unfortunately has been disappointed. Although based on rational analysis, MacLehose also felt that Xia Yu offered a reward, but he must pay attention to a piece of evidence, especially when the suspect is still Xia Yu, a powerful Chinese boss, any decision is not easy to make. After checking Xia Yu, if the problem is found out, but if the problem is not found, he will have to give Xia Yu an explanation, and also have to give a statement to the outside world and the Chinese capital. But without checking, he will face pressure from British capital and London. I checked but failed to find out the results, there is no way to explain it to the outside world. So thinking about it, no matter what, he is under great pressure. "Hey, I hope I can find out something, otherwise..." McLehose sighed, thought about it again for a while, then got up and went to the hospital. Anyway, after knowing the result, he must go there. This is unavoidable! ... Let''s say that Shi Lirong just returned to the police station and summoned his subordinates to arrange the task of investigating Xia Yu, but then he reported a news that caught him off guard. A killer surrendered and killed the Keswick family father and son who had killed himself. For the first time, Shi Lirong buzzed in his mind, knowing that it was too late, he was here for the dead ghost, and it was absolutely impossible for a killer to surrender! "Where is the person, take me to see!" As Shi Lirong spoke, he followed his subordinates to the observation room next to the detention room and carefully watched the investigation and inquiry scene inside. "It was done by yourself, hehe, bastard!" Shi Lirong sneered first, then slapped the table with a slap, feeling very upset, his face was hot. The "killer" has come, and the case can be closed procedurally. If it spreads out again, how can he continue to investigate the case in depth? Taking a deep breath and calming down, Shi Lirong thought for a while. Although this kind of result can only deceive ordinary people, it may not be an acceptable result. Even for him, it should be the best result. After all, the Keswick family is over. Although the people behind the scenes are slapped in the face, why not give him a step down? At least he can give an explanation. Although anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on, at this time, if you should pretend to be stupid, you have to pretend. Is this kind of thing rare? No need to look here anymore, Shi Lirong got up and went back to his office and called Li Sita, the deputy director of the operations department. "You go and arrange to invite Xia Yu from the Jiuding Consortium to cooperate with us in a simple investigation. Note, please come here, don''t offend him, understand?" Shi Lirong ordered Li Sita and emphasized at the same time. Li Sita''s eyes flashed, thinking of the "killer" who came up just now, and immediately replied: "Okay!" "Go!" Shi Lirong waved his hand and asked Li Sita to execute. After Li Sita left Shi Lirong''s office, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his bitter expression could be seen from it. "Hey, I was pitted by John Keswick. Once he died, I was in trouble. I had offended Xia Yu before. I must find a way to make up for it. Hey..." After thinking about it, Li Sita immediately returned to his office, called a subordinate, and solemnly instructed: "Immediately stop guarding Xia Jun, make every effort to comfort him, and then send him back properly." "understand!" The subordinates were surprised, and immediately responded respectfully, and then quickly implemented Li Sita''s task. "This time, I really have to thank Han Yili, the **** who went against me..." Thinking that he had been restrained before Xia Jun had had time to toss him, Li Sita laughed at himself, but he didn''t expect that the old opponent''s obstacle this time would be regarded as a help for him. Chapter 413: Profited from the police "Xia Sheng, I''m really sorry for wasting your time!" As soon as Xia Yu left the interrogation room, he saw a group of police officers waiting at the door. Shi Lirong, Li Sita, Han Yili and others were all listed. After seeing Xia Yu came out, Shi Lirong immediately said apologetically. Although in terms of social status, Xia Yu was not much higher than Shi Lirong at this time, and Shi Lirong had no need to be so polite. However, Shi Lirong is so sophisticated, many things have long been bearish, and he didn''t care about these details. Instead, he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Xia Yu. After all, his position is given by this official position. He will retire next year at the latest. It is normal for people in officialdom to go to tea and cool. When he loses his official position, he will have to look up to Xia Yu. And by his age, the pursuit of officialdom has reached its peak, and it is more helpful to the family, but the role of money and wealth is greater. Maintaining a good relationship with Xia Yu, the **** of wealth, will continue to benefit from the future. Shi Lirong''s friendly attitude made Li Sita, Han Yili, and other subordinates active. "Director Shi, you are polite. As a law-abiding Hong Kong citizen, it is our responsibility to cooperate with the police investigation. I don''t know who reported me, but after cooperating with your investigation, my suspicion was cleared. This can be considered a favor, thank you!" Xia Yu shook hands with Shi Lirong with a smile on his face and said. "Haha, Xia Sheng, I knew that there is no such possibility for a big man like you, but I have to do it as a last resort, you just don''t care!" Shi Lirong continued to smile politely. "How can I care about it, we have a chance to have a good chat, I will ask you some life experience." "Okay, well, I also have a lot of questions to ask you!" The two big men stood at the door of the interrogation room, being polite to each other. Although the scene was very strange, no one around dared to show it. "By the way, Director Shi, I heard that my cousin Xia Jun committed something. Is there any misunderstanding in this?" Suddenly, Xia Yu looked at Shi Lirong and asked with doubts. As soon as the topic came out, Han Yili, who was standing by the side, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and Li Sita''s expression changed. What he was worried about really happened, but fortunately, he had prepared early. Shi Lirong knew that there was a police officer named Xia Jun who was a relative of Xia Yu, but he didn''t know that Li Sita had rectified him. At this time, he frowned when Xia Yu said, who did it. Didn''t it cause him trouble! Who is so insightful! Shi Lirong subconsciously looked at Han Yili, Li Sita and others, wanting to know what was going on. Seeing Shi Lirong''s gaze swept over, Li Sita knew that he could no longer be silent, and had to speak before Han Yili, otherwise accidents would easily occur. He immediately said: "Mr. Xia, Shi Sir, Xia Jun did not commit any crimes. In fact, he found a major clue, so he cooperated with our secret investigation. Now that the investigation is over, I found that Xia Jun is a very good talent. , I also thought about transferring our operations department to promote the sheriff to re-use it!" As soon as he said this, Han Yili, who was planning to watch the joke, his face stiffened, but he did not expect that this old opponent would come to this hand, so shameless, that he directly distorted the facts, and brazenly wanted to dig his corner in front of Director Shi Lirong. Said to leapfrog Xia Jun, to sell Xia Yu. Doing bad things, but wanting to make a profit with backhands, and even digging into the corner of him, is he really eating dry food? How could he be like Li Sita''s wish? He must be demolished in front of Shi Lirong! "No, if I hadn''t found out in time, my right-hand man would have been severely interrogated by your actions." "Furthermore, Xia Jun was already outstanding. Once he entered the post, he made great contributions and made an indelible contribution to the case of the Ma family. Even the Interpol police officer Allen praised him because of him. I just entered the job and wanted to temper him, so I temporarily wrote down the credit and didn¡¯t give him a promotion. After six months of investigation, I found that Xia Jun¡¯s abilities had long been sufficient, and the identity of a police officer was completely restricted. His talents were just thinking about mentioning him as a sheriff. Before the documents were issued, he was arrested by your operations department." Han Yili pretended to be a bit angry and said, and then immediately asked Shi Lirong respectfully: "Shi Sir, I think Xia Jun is fully capable of serving as a police chief, but he is still a police officer, and he wants to surpass the position of senior police officer. , Do you think it is okay?" Seeing the short performance of the two just now, Shi Lirong, who was so sophisticated, didn''t know what was going on, but he didn''t show it. At this time, I heard Han Yili say so, and wittily shared the opportunity to sell favors to him. In front of Xia Yu, of course he would sell it well. Isn¡¯t he just a police officer at the rank of police officer? Skip, but he is the Chief of Police, he has the final say! "Of course you can. For particularly outstanding and outstanding police officers, it should be promoted exceptionally. You can''t bury the talents. You have to train them!" Shi Lirong made the decision directly, and within a few words, Xia Jun''s promotion was decided, which made a police officer not far away wonder how envious. Xia Yu has been watching the performances of several people with a smile on his face. I have to say that each is of the level of a first-class actor. "Director Shi, Director Han, thank you for your importance to my cousin. Although he will be sent in the future, he has no other advantages, but he is hardworking and easy to learn." Xia Yu said gratefully. "Mr. Xia, don''t worry!" ... Seeing Han Yili talking and laughing with Xia Yu and Shi Lirong, but he was like a transparent person, Li Sita was embarrassed. But he couldn''t leave, otherwise it would really be what Han Yi wanted. There was no alternative, he could only squeeze a smile and listen quietly, thinking about what to do. Without the help of the Jardine Consortium, if the Commissioner of Police Shi Lirong has an opinion on him and does not recommend him to London, how can he win the post of Commissioner of Police next year? Of course, although his strategy has not been completely successful, it seems that at least it has not attracted Xia Yu''s hostility, which is considered a gain. After that, Han Yili invited Xia Yu to see Xia Jun. Xia Yu thought for a while, but he declined. Anyway, it was determined that Xia Jun was okay, so there was no need to run over to give Xia Jun the power. Shi Lirong and Han Yili''s As promised, Li Sita should not make trouble again, and maybe she will find a way to make it up. In this way, the three giants of the police department have become the backers of Xia Jun. As long as he does not lose power, it is completely foreseeable that Xia Jun will be able to grow up in the police department smoothly until he grows up to be able to clean up for Xia Yu. The obstacle of the police. When he left, Xia Yu looked back at the police station building, a smile came up at the corner of his mouth. I took time out of my busy schedule to visit the police station, which not only successfully washed away the trouble, but also helped Xia Jun pave the way for the future, a worthwhile trip! Chapter 414: Plan ahead As the center of the storm, Xia Yu naturally received the attention of interested people at all times. What''s more, at this sensitive time when the Keswick family had an accident, Xia Yu was suspicious again, and then he was invited to the police station by the police. The sensitive time, the sensitive person, the sensitive unit and the sensitive matter are all gathered together, and the outside world is not paying attention. Whether it is business, politics or wealthy people, there are many bigwigs who are busy with their lives, putting their attention to the police building, with different thoughts, or expectations or concerns... Time passed by, and when Xia Yu walked out of the police office building easily, the news was immediately known to the upper level of Xiangjiang. Xia Yu''s friends were relieved, but those with ulterior motives sighed. ... Hong Kong Island, the top office of the Shun Tak Group Headquarters Building. Gambling King He Hongshen sat on the chair, while He Youguang stood quietly by the side, both of them looked at the subordinates who had finished reporting right in front of He Hongshen. "Okay, I see, you go down first!" After He Hongshen dismissed the subordinates who reported the news, he stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window. He Youguang followed his father silently. Through the glass, He Hongshen looked towards the endless stream of streets, and then looked up at the large fireball hanging high in the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression somewhat complicated. He Youguang saw all the changes in his father''s movements and expressions. He was also very complicated in his heart and understood the changes in his father''s mood. His father, who ate more salt than he ate more rice, was in a mood swing, not to mention him. During this period of time, the situation in Xiangjiang was changing. They were all in the eyes of Omen, and while shocked, He Youguang often sighed that the world was changing so fast that he couldn''t keep up with the rhythm. After all, the He family¡¯s fortune was not clean. Now Omen¡¯s underground brother is a dog raised by the He family. He is naturally no stranger to news of the killer mercenary world. So after the Keswick family¡¯s accident, the He family knew about the reward list. , He Hongshen, who is so old and refined, guessed it was Xia Yu for the first time. It doesn''t matter who did it. After all, 15 million U.S. dollars can be used by many big names in Xiangjiang Omen. The point is that there is nothing left after doing it, this is the real skill! Although he rushed to Xiangjiang from Omen overnight after the accident in the Keswick family to set up a bite of meat. However, he paid much attention to Xia Yu. When Xia Yu was taken away by the police, he put aside his work, waited quietly, and at the same time figured out the development of various things and countermeasures. When he learned that his subordinates reported that Xia Yu had left the police station safely, He Hongshen himself did not know what he was feeling. He might be happy, might have regrets, or sigh, but it is difficult to say clearly anyway. But no matter what his mood is, it doesn''t matter, he only knows one thing. That is, from now on, Xia Yu''s development in Xiangjiang will be smooth, and no one dares to come to Yin with him. Even if there will be twists and turns in the development path, it will only be a small twist within the rules. No one will actively cross the bottom line and fight Xia Yu, unless it is a time of life and death. After all, the prestigious Keswick family has all fallen, and any big boss who dares to be confident that his family is better than the Keswick family? As for the Jiuding Consortium, yes. In He Hongshen¡¯s view, although Jiuding has not many companies, it is considered a consortium. After all, the securities industry has a giant like Jiuding Securities, and the insurance industry has a giant like Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. , There are already two big thick legs in the financial industry. In addition, wearing the crown of the media hegemon and stepping on the industrial giant Wharf, the energy possessed is so amazing that it is no less than or even surpassed by the He family. As long as Xia Yu didn''t make a mistake, He Hongshen could already determine that Xia Yu was destined to be the one standing at the top of Xiangjiang. But judging from Xia Yu''s current performance, it is better to expect Xia Yu to make a mistake and defeat the huge Jiuding Consortium than to expect the sow to climb the tree. Looking at the big ball of light above his head, He Hongshen was dizzy because of the glare of the sun. He seemed to see Xia Yu''s face on the big ball of light. He Hongshen was stunned, isn''t Xia Yu at this moment as dazzling as the morning sun? "The posterity is terrifying, are we old..." Compared with the young Xia Yu, He Hongshen, who has always refused to admit defeat, has a feeling that he is old, and he can''t help but sigh. "Father, he really exceeded our expectations time and time again. I really don''t know where his upper limit is!" He Youguang couldn''t help sighing when he heard his father''s emotion. "If Chao Qiong knows, I don''t know how high it should be...Uh" After speaking what was in his heart, He Youguang suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately shut up, and subconsciously looked at his father He Hongshen. He Hongshen shook his face when he heard the words, took a deep breath, remained silent, his eyes darkened. "I know that Chao Qiong is still secretly contacting him, paying attention to his affairs, and you have no role in it." Hearing He Hongshen''s words, He Youguang''s expression changed and he lowered his head silently, for fear of his father''s gaze. "Let her go." He Hongshen said with no expression on his face. He Youguang suddenly raised his head, looked at He Hongshen''s back, and responded with a complicated mood: "Yes!" "Father finally bowed his head. I had expected it to be like this a long time ago, but at that time my father...hey..." "I hope it''s still too late...Even if it''s too late, it''s impossible to have the best expectations back then... Hey..." "Forget it, as long as Chao Qiong is happy..." He Youguang thought to himself, feeling very complicated. "Okay, go ahead!" He Hongshen didn''t want to talk more about this topic that he was wrong, and immediately put his focus back on the Xinde Group''s participation in the hunt for the Jardine Consortium. Last night, he came over just to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When Hong Kong Huazi had no time to boycott him, he also rushed in to bite off a piece of meat from the Jardine Consortium and quickly strengthen his faith. Only in this way can the Group have a stronger ability to deal with the future competition with the Hong Kong Chinese Consortium. As for the Jardine Foundation and the Keswick family, He Hongshen was still a little worried, but after learning that Old John and Henry Keswick had not been rescued, he was relieved. After learning that Xia Yu had left the Hong Kong Police Station safely, he knew that the Jardine Consortium and the Keswick family were completely over. Xia Yu safely left the Hong Kong Police Force, which is of great significance. This represents the attitude of the Hong Kong government. Unless there is a fatal clue by the Hong Kong government, Xia Yu will always be fine. With Xia Yu, a ruthless person, he will never let the Keswick family turn over, and the Yihe Consortium is destined to not end well. As for Charles Keswick, who was temporarily rescued, in He Hongshen''s eyes, he was actually a dead person. He Hongshen knows the cruelty of the giants, let alone a giant without a leader, those side branches of the Keswick family, in the face of huge wealth, will never take into account the pale and weak family affection, and will never allow Charles Keswick to survive. of. And without Old John, it would be hard for outsiders to intervene in the internal affairs of the Keswick family. Presumably, news of Charles Keswick¡¯s death will come soon. When Charles Keswick died, the various branches were fighting for property. Of course, they had their own pockets. What''s more, they absolutely couldn''t stand the pressure from the big bosses. At that time, you don¡¯t even need to use means. Many company stocks controlled by the Keswick family will be sold out. Now you must plan ahead and try to eat more! Missing such an opportunity is definitely a huge loss! Chapter 415: Crazy grab cake "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wang, I must come to your place to ask for a cup of tea when you have time... OK, see you next time!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu''s smile faded, his eyes became deep, and he thought a lot. The person who called just now was Wang Ping from the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency. He just came back with his front foot and received a call from Wang Ping on the back foot. This shows that Wang Ping has been paying attention to him. In the chat just now, in addition to expressing concern for Wang Ping, Xia Yu also heard the hidden meaning in Wang Ping¡¯s words, that is, he has always regarded Xia Yu as his own, and helped Xia Yu remove the traces, and will never be taken by the British. People found out, let him rest assured. Xia Yu only believed half of Wang Ping''s words, and he was not sure whether the people on Wang Ping''s side actually found the traces and helped him to wipe them out, or did not find them but said they found them, to sell their affection. But there is no way to verify this. Even if Ma Qianjun is asked to call people over, it is not certain whether there is any trace left, after all, there is no absolute thing! Of course, the only certainty is that Wang Ping definitely sent someone to do the work, no matter what the result, at least his attitude has been revealed. What matters is not the result, but the sentiment! "It looks like it''s almost there. As long as it stabilizes, it''s time to get in touch. After all, the earlier it makes more sense." "There is still more than a month to be October 1, Xinhua Branch will definitely hold a celebration reception, and will send me an invitation if you want to, go there at that time!" "Now let''s take a few more bites of meat!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu immediately raised his spirits and devoted himself to the gluttonous meal! In the next few days, McLehose received news from MI6, but did not find any clues to Xia Yu, and those killers could not be found. The news that a killer surrendered in the police department somehow leaked out, and the whole of Xiangjiang became aware of it after the media publicized it. There is no way, this matter can only be concluded in this way, at least one step down, MacLehose can only instruct Shi Lirong to announce the closure of the case and start the trial of the killer. On the third day, Charles Keswick finally "died out" under popular expectations. All the main lines of the Keswick family died out, and the major branches of the Keswick family that had already been ready to move lost their final suppression. With the secret support and instigation of all parties, the drama of the struggle within the wealthy family to seize the family property was staged. The major entertainment gossip tabloids have long been ready, and they are engaged in the battle of digging out the best news, hoping to take this opportunity to attract enough people to subscribe to their own newspapers. After the death of Charles Keswick, Xia Yu immediately took the lead in reclaiming the shares in Wharf. Those branches of the Keswick family agreed, and it didn''t work if they didn''t agree. If anyone didn''t agree, it would be attacked by the Jiuding Consortium, and it would be absolutely cheaper for other people. Moreover, Xia Yu had already completed more than 67% of the controlling rights and completely controlled the board of directors. The privatization process could not be prevented at all. As for Niu Bijian, he was already haggard, but after Charles Keswick died suddenly, he finally couldn''t stand it. He also couldn''t understand the disgusting scene of the Keswick family, and chose to give up resistance and resign directly. The other branches of the Keswick family did not have any retention. Even if he left, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A generation of Jardines, once a majestic and powerful boss, has now come to this end. After the news spread, many people really sighed. Of course, after the embarrassment, whether to grab or continue to grab, the interests are the most important! The threat of Gali temptation, coupled with fierce competition within the Keswick family, other bigwigs avoid offending Xia Yu, and even dare not touch the Wharf stocks in the hands of the Keswick family. % Equity in Hong Kong dollars! These 18.5 million shares, 100 million were taken down. % Equity, billion Hong Kong dollars. As a result, Wharf was finally successfully and completely privatized, and Xia Yu''s Galaxy Fund held 100% of the shares in Wharf Group. He was finally able to transform Wharf Group without hesitation. If you think about it carefully, from the beginning of the plan to the winning of the Wharf Group, the total market value was 100 million Hong Kong dollars. It is equivalent to the acquisition of the listed company of Wharf Group. Xia Yu has only completed a 100% privatization at a premium of about 17%, and Xia Yu has made a lot of money! Of course, it was possible to take it down at such a low price, thanks to Xia Yu''s repeated plans, plus the time and harmony of people, otherwise, don''t even think about it! If you change to someone else, even if 100% of the privatization is also completed, it will cost at least three to four billion yuan. If it was like Bao Yugang in his previous life, he had spent more than 3 billion in capital before he got more than 40% of the equity. It can only be said that Xia Yu''s actions were too accidental, and no one else in this world could do it except him, the reborn. Xia Yu sat on the table, his knuckles tapping on the table, his eyes were dizzy, but he was carefully calculating his own harvest and strength in his heart. % Of the equity, 100 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, now in order to fully control the Wharf Group, billion Hong Kong dollars. Billion Hong Kong dollars. No, there are not so many now. After all, Xia Yu has been frantically embezzling the assets of the Jardine Consortium these days. This time, Xia Yu kept buying stocks in the stock market, and then sold them backhand to Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng and others, earning a generous price difference. In terms of the stock market''s ability to grab stocks, Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund have become very strong under the command of Xia Yu. Now regardless of whether it is Hong Kong Chinese or British capital, He Hongshen of Longmen has run over, and even the big Chinese families in Southeast Asia and the big families in Taiwan are all squeezing to Xiangjiang with a large amount of funds to share this gluttonous dinner. feast. Although there are many companies in the Jardine Consortium, the number of listed companies is still not enough when placed in front of so many rich and wealthy people. It is normal for a few companies to grab one company! In this case, Xia Yu''s value is revealed. Xia Yu snapped up the stock and sold it backhand to a certain big man. That big man offered to buy it at a higher price. Thanks to Xia Yu. This kind of easy work brought huge profits to Xia Yu, and within a few days, he made nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars in profits. Under the Jardine Consortium, there is one listed company that is the most conspicuous, and it is also the largest company in the Jardine Consortium, and that is the Land Group, which has a market value of more than six billion. The original Land Group''s market value was close to 5 billion. Although the Keswick family had an accident, the stock price did not fall much because the Land Group is too large and its stock price is difficult to suppress. Another thing is that there are too many bigwigs who are eyeing the Land Group, and there is no way to always work together to suppress the stock price. In the face of the attractive Land Group, there are always people who worry that they will not be able to grab enough stocks, so they have no patience early and jump. Come out to snap up stocks. As a result, Land Group¡¯s stock fell by less than 200 million, and rose rapidly in fierce snatching. After the easy 5 billion mark, it quickly surpassed the 6 billion Hong Kong dollar mark. Jardine Holdings owns 35% of the shares of Land Group. In addition, there are only a few minority shareholders, and the remaining shares are in the hands of public shareholders and institutions. When the Keswick family fell, the Jardine Consortium was like a mess. Without the Jardine Consortium, the Land Group was immediately seductive like an undressed beauty. Now in order to **** the Land Group, many big bosses have come out. On the Huazi side, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Bao Yugang, He Hongshen, Dong Jia, Zhou Jia, Lin Jia, Qiu Jia etc. participated in it. On the British side, the Swire consortium had the strongest offensive. Even Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock couldn''t help but rush in, leaving other British families to join them. The largest real estate company in Hong Kong This is not just for fun, if anyone eats it, it will definitely make the family prosperous for a hundred years. Even a sip of the soup is enough for a long time. Of course, the Land Group is too big after all, and it is not something that a certain family or consortium can afford unless it is supported by a few banks. The 35% equity held by Jardine Holdings is not so easy to compete for. After all, the other branches of the Keswick family are not completely stupid, knowing what can be sold and what cannot be sold. Other companies can be sold, but for the Land Group, the other branches of the Keswick family have almost surprisingly unanimous opinions, that is, they must be kept. Only in this way can the family not be completely weakened. If you sell everything, you just have money and no career, you have a shit! For the Land Group, Xia Yu was equally enthusiastic, but after thinking about it, he did not participate. He has already won the Wharf Group, one of the two wings of Jardines. Although the market value of the Wharf Group is much lower than that of the Land Group, it is also because of poor management that caused the stock price to fall. In fact, the value of Wharf is not much less than that of Land Group. He has eaten up a wharf group in its entirety. If he goes to compete for the land group, Nara''s hatred will be great, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will not be boycotted. What''s more, he still prefers Hutchison Whampoa compared to the Land Group. His liquidity is not enough to support his acquisition of these two giants. Of course, because of Qi Dezun''s vigilance, in a short time, Hutchison Whampoa has no way to buy. He does not buy the Land Group, and these liquid funds cannot be idle. There are still many good things under the Jardine Consortium, especially among the unlisted companies, there are also many large and valuable companies. Xia Yu targeted three! It coincides with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, these three companies, he must eat his mouth, no one wants to grab it! Chapter 416: Staring at the big landlord again This time, Xia Yu''s three companies are very important: Dairy Company in the retail department store industry, Kinmen Construction in the construction engineering industry, and Jardine Auto Group in the automobile manufacturing and distribution industry. The Milk Company, an established company, was established in 1886. It was originally established in cooperation with a Scottish doctor and five Chinese businessmen. At the beginning, it established a ranch in Pokfulam on the west of Hong Kong Island and raised 80 dairy cows imported from the UK to produce fresh milk. . Then with the development, the business continued to expand, from frozen meat retail to entering the ice industry, through the acquisition of freezer warehouses and ice factories under Jardine and Taikoo, it became the first in the field of ice making in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu remembers that his family originally The ice cubes used by the fishing boats are all produced by milk companies. After that, Dairy Company went further and further in the retail industry, cooperating with the famous fashion brand, accessories, and fashion boutique brand Lane Crawford to establish Dalilian Co., Ltd., and opened Dalilian Supermarket in Central on Hong Kong Island, which is also the first supermarket in Hong Kong. Later, a branch was opened in the Pearl City Building in Causeway Bay. So far, there have been five large supermarkets. In addition to supermarkets, there are 7-11 convenience stores. The 7-11 Convenience Store is owned by the Southern Company of the United States. It was only allowed to join in 1973. The Japanese Ito Yokado Company was the first to join in 1974. Then Xiangjiang Milk Company joined in 1975. After three years, it opened Almost all 20 convenience stores are on Hong Kong Island. In the previous life, when the 7-11 convenience store was in the hands of Southern Company, Southern Company failed to diversify and expand, causing the company to file for bankruptcy. It was then bought by Ito Yokado Company. After that, it was out of control until it became a small island country retail giant , Is also the world''s largest chain convenience store group, rushing into the 127th place in the world''s top 500 brands. It can be said that the 7-11 convenience store is a golden chicken. As long as it is managed well, Hu from the island country Ito Yokado Company is still very likely to become the world''s largest convenience store group. Of course Xia Yu is greedy. Closer to home, in addition to supermarkets and convenience stores, Dairy Company also has other retail stores. The most famous is Wanning Pharmacy. Wanning Pharmacy opened its first store in 1972. It has 16 stores so far, providing a comprehensive range of health and beauty products, including health products, skin care products, cosmetics, personal care products, men''s products, maternal and child products, and women''s products. Supplies, medicines, etc. cater to the consumer needs of people of different levels and different ages. The store is equipped with professional beauticians, nutritionists and pharmacists. The products are mainly cosmetics, accounting for 70%, health products and medicines accounting for 20%, and others Class accounts for about 10%. In Hong Kong, except for Watsons under Hutchison Whampoa, Wanning Pharmacy is the strongest in the cosmetics field, and with the help of the resources of the Jardine Consortium, it has the momentum to chase beyond. Of course, now that the Jardine Consortium has become like this, it will be difficult for Wanning Pharmacy to catch up with Watsons. But if he gets into Xia Yu''s hands, there is still a big chance. In addition to the above three, Dairy Cow has a franchised IKEA furniture supermarket in the field of furniture and furniture. It was franchised in 1975. The supermarket is located in Central on Hong Kong Island. Although the dairy company is very strong in the retail industry, the asset value of all retail industries does not account for the bulk of the company. Not to mention the retail industry, even the ice and cold storage fields that monopolize the business of Xiangjiang milk, ice, and refrigerated meat are only small. The greatest value of the Milk Company lies in its huge amount of valuable land! The Milk Company is actually one of the big landlords of Hong Kong. It has a lot of almost permanent land on Hong Kong Island, the most prosperous Hong Kong Island, because the lease term of those land is as long as 999 years, which is completely permanent! With so many plots, they were left a long time ago. The founders at that time never thought of the end, and the development of the business was not as valuable as the plots that he didn''t care about at the time. As we all know, fields like milk, ice making, and cold storage, whether it is a cattle ranch, an ice factory, or a cold storage, are all beasts of swallowing land. Long ago, Hong Kong was not prosperous. Kowloon and the New Territories were both wild and popular on Hong Kong Island. However, the population was too small and the land was not precious. At that time, the dairy company built a freezer on Ice House Street in Central on Hong Kong Island, and built ice factories on Chun Yuen Street in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Kwun Tong, Kowloon. Pastures were also established in Pokfulam and Causeway Bay in the western part of Hong Kong Island. The land of the ranch is surprisingly big when you think about it. With the development of hundreds of years, the central area of ??Hong Kong Island has become crowded. According to the historical process, it will expand towards Causeway Bay, and then Pokfulam in the west will expand. Until later generations, the land is still insufficient, and the sea will be reclaimed for land. In the future, these plots will be built into top residential and commercial districts. It is conceivable that the milk company holding such a large amount of land has too much hidden value! Although Xia Yu won the big landlord of the Wharf Group, most of the land of the Wharf Group is in Kowloon. Even if it is on Hong Kong Island, it is also in the wharf, which is still less, which is not conducive to the future real estate of Wharf. Business foothold and development on Hong Kong Island. But if you swallow the milk company, Xia Yu''s real estate empire will have two thick legs. At that time, he was not only the big landlord of Kowloon area, but also one of the big landlords of Hong Kong Island. Of course, ideals are beautiful, but it is very difficult to achieve them, and Xia Yu needs to plan carefully. After all, the milk company''s situation is a bit complicated, and it is quite difficult to swallow it. This is due to the complicated equity structure of the dairy company. The milk company went public in the 1960s By 1971, Sir Zhou Xian, the owner of one of the veteran giants in Xiangjiang, bought shares and became the chairman of the milk company. However, in 1972, the Jardine consortium focused on Dairy Company and asked its subsidiary Land Group to come forward and propose to acquire the equity of Dairy Company. Of course Zhou refused to buy the shares of Dairy Company. Shengsheng took over the Dairy Company and fully privatized it in 1973. Of course, this incident also became one of the fuse of the 1973 stock market crash, and the Jardine Consortium also pitted itself. After the Land Group ate Dairy Company, John Keswick was still worried. In order to better control the company, he started cross-holding. After a series of dazzling operations, the equity of Dairy Company was dispersed and distributed in the Jardine Group. And holdings, Jardine Pacific, Land Group and other companies. Therefore, if Xia Yu wants to take all the shares of Dairy Farm, he still cannot bypass the Land Group. But for Xia Yu, there are always more solutions than difficulties. He has already thought out measures, but it will be relatively more troublesome! Chapter 417: Open the blood basin again If you swallow the milk company, Xia Yu is like taking the top ten tonic, but if you want to live well and develop well, you still need a good stomach. Xia Yu had long aspired to become the real estate king of Xiangjiang, and it would be even better if he could become "Xia Bancheng". But in the real estate industry, land is not enough. The key is to have sufficient development strength, which requires a strong construction company. Nowadays, although there is a construction department under the Wharf Group, it is still too small compared to what Xia Yu thought. In this way, the Golden Gate Construction Company under the Jardine Consortium was targeted by Xia Yu. Golden Gate Architecture was founded by an Englishman named John Golden Gate in India in 1919. The main business of the company is construction and civil engineering. The types of projects include commercial office buildings, residential buildings, shopping malls, streets, bridges, stations, and sewers. Wait, he does almost everything. He is the chief builder of many projects in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region, commonly known as the contractor in the industry. Jinmen Construction was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1970, and the Jardine Consortium bought a small portion of shares from minority shareholders in 1969. Until Jinmen Construction went public, its weaknesses were exposed. Of course, the Jardine Consortium, which holds a huge amount of capital, Won''t let it go. In May 1975, the Jardine Consortium swallowed the Golden Gate Building and completely privatized it. After being swallowed by the Jardine Consortium, Golden Gate Architecture is backed by the huge strength of the Jardine Consortium, and its development is advancing by leaps and bounds. Nowadays, Jinmen Construction is a well-known construction company in Xiangjiang. Even Li Jiacheng¡¯s Yangtze River Infrastructure is still inferior to Jinmen Construction. If such a powerful construction company can be swallowed by Xia Yu, it will definitely be able to install nuclear-powered rocket boosters for Xia Yu''s dream of a real estate giant. And having a strong construction company can not only enhance the company''s ability to resist risks, but most importantly, it can reduce construction costs and make the development of real estate and commercial real estate more competitive. In the final analysis, business struggles rely on comprehensive competitiveness! If Xia Yu expands the existing construction department of the Wharf Group, not to mention the cost and effort, the most important thing is to waste time. For Xia Yu, time is more precious! In today''s changing times, one step behind, it will cost more to catch up, and the loss is too great! Therefore, the Golden Gate building, you have to eat everything you say, it can''t be cheaper for others! Xia Yu estimated that based on the current assets, the value of Jinmen Construction is only about 180 million Hong Kong dollars, and he has the capital to eat it! Except for the Dairy Company and Jinmen Construction, there is only one Jardine Auto Group, and Xia Yu didn''t want to let it go. Jardine Auto Group is another representative of the Jardine Consortium in the manufacturing industry, in addition to Jardine Machinery Group. Jardine Auto Group has three subsidiaries. One of them is Indonesia''s largest automobile manufacturer: Indonesia Astra International Holdings Co., Ltd., which is 100% controlled by Jardine Auto Group. Astra and Toyota are one of Toyota''s top five dealers in Indonesia, and it is also the only one that mainly manufactures small cars and is sold almost domestically. Due to national conditions, Indonesia¡¯s total annual car sales last year reached 40,000 vehicles, but Astra produced 10,000 vehicles, accounting for 25%. In addition, there is also a motorcycle manufacturing company under the Jardine Motor Group, which is also the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Indonesia. The full name of this company is Indonesia Astra Honda Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. You can tell from the name that this company is a joint venture company established with Honda, and Jardine Motors Group holds 49% of the shares. Because of Honda''s support, whether it is an automobile manufacturing company or a motorcycle manufacturing company, the strength is top in Indonesia. But again, Indonesia is too poor after all. Even motorcycles are luxury goods. Although Indonesia has a large population, most of them cannot afford it, so the annual sales of motorcycles are not large. But as long as these two companies maintain their positions, the purchasing power will explode when Indonesia becomes rich in the future, so the potential is not lacking. In addition to these two manufacturing companies, the Jardine Auto Group also has a strong sales network, which is Renfuxing Co., Ltd. Renfuxing Co., Ltd. was acquired by Jardine Motors Group in 1973. The company was originally founded in 1950 in Xiangjiang and has been developed for 28 years. Renfuxing Co., Ltd. sells cars. After being under the income of the Jardine Consortium, it has developed very rapidly. Now it is the second largest in the field of sales and service of Xiangjiang Motors, and is only subordinate to the Wang family''s car sales company. Renfu has three auto shops, three service centers, and a large exhibition hall in Hong Kong, one auto shop and one service center in Omen, one auto shop and service center in the north and south of Taiwan, and three auto shops in Southeast Asia Line and service center. A total of 9 auto shops, 9 service centers and 1 large exhibition hall. The Jardine Auto Group has not only a manufacturing plant, but also a huge sales network and after-sales network, which are all accumulated in decades. For the auto industry, Xia Yu definitely wants to enter, whether it is to make money, or to dream, or to enter the mainland in the future, he must enter the auto industry. However, the threshold for the automotive industry is too high. Xia Yu''s current capital is far from enough. If he ventures into it and tries to compete with those auto giants, he will definitely encounter many problems. Therefore, we should buy a gadget first. The Jardine Auto Group, which cooperates with Toyota, is very suitable. It is not large and can get part of Toyota''s technology. And there is a certain basic sales and after-sales network, strong anti-risk ability, is definitely a good thing for novices to get started. Xia Yu intends to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to buy it first. Even if there is no big money for development in a short period of time, he will be in his stomach first, and then he will invest a lot of money when he has money. If we don''t take advantage of the collapse of the Jardine Foundation this time, there will be no such good opportunity in the future. Xia Yu calculated that the milk company has great hidden value and great potential, but because it hasn''t broken out yet, he can definitely get it at a low price. But no matter how low it is, it costs about 300 million Hong Kong dollars. The total value of Jinmen Construction is about 180 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the Jardine Motor Group, the total value is around 400 million Hong Kong dollars. It would cost about 900 million Hong Kong dollars to swallow these three companies wholly. However, the current liquidity of the Galaxy Fund is only more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars. If we add Jiuding Securities'' own liquidity, it can exceed 900 million Hong Kong dollars, which is barely enough. But if the money is spent, he will be on the wax! Having acquired so many companies, if you want to rectify, you must invest funds for development. Guang''an Bank is about to reform and expand, and Lai¡¯s TV station has to invest a lot of money in rectification, not to mention Jardine Insurance Consulting Group and Wharf Group. If these three companies can be acquired, the investment of development funds is another large expenditure. When the funds are exhausted, his Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund cannot make money, nor can other companies develop. Without the money, how can he have the confidence to aim at Hutchison Whampoa? How to implement the plan to swallow the Whampoa? Therefore, Xia Yu immediately ruled out the idea of ??using his own money to acquire these three companies. It just so happens that he is so strong and has very few loans. It''s time to use other people''s money to develop his own business! "It''s time to go to Shen Bi! If you want to swallow these three companies, you really have to help from HSBC. No, I helped HSBC. They hold a lot of shares in Jardines Holdings and Jardines Group. Now the Keswick family continues to sell the company, and the value of Jardines Holdings and Jardines Group continues to shrink. Shen Bi is absolutely lost. It''s too late, I just went to help him! " Xia Yu thought shamelessly with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then made a phone call to confirm that Shen Bi was at HSBC, and he took someone to set off! Chapter 418: 1000000000! HSBC Bank Building, Chairman''s Office. Xia Yu and Shen Bi sat face to face, and Shen Bi personally fiddled with tea sets to make tea for Xia Yu, with a very enthusiastic attitude. People are so realistic. Even though Shen Bi was optimistic about Xia Yu before, he still had the meaning of examining and admiring his younger generations. After all, although Xia Yu had the strength at the time, it was still a lot worse than HSBC. Xia Yu¡¯s value is expressed in Potentially. But today is different from the past. Xia Yu''s shocking actions and achievements have refreshed Shen Bi''s three views time and time again, making him pay attention to Xia Yu thoroughly. With Xia Yu reorganizing the Jardine Consortium into what it is now, and now it seems to be safe and sound, Shen Bi has to admit that the young man with the potential of a tycoon at the beginning has quickly transformed into the top of Xiangjiang at a dazzling speed. Tycoon, and has a firm foothold. In terms of strength, status and influence in all aspects, Xia Yu is no longer inferior to him! Sophisticated Shen Bi naturally corrected his mentality and had an equal relationship with Xia Yu, just like now, making tea for Xia Yu himself, and there is no lumps in his heart. Shen Bi''s attitude changed. Of course he felt it with Xia Yu''s sensitivity. He was not polite, watching Shen Bi making tea quietly, and chatting with Shen Bi from time to time. "Xia Sheng, please have tea!" Shen Bi brought a cup of tea to Xia Yu and said kindly. "Thank you!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked, picked up the teacup to blow away the heat, took a sip, shook his mouth, and exclaimed: "Good tea!" Hearing Xia Yu''s admiration, Shen Bi''s smile on his face grew brighter, and he also picked up his teacup to enjoy it. "Xia Sheng, congratulations on your great advancement!" Putting down the teacup gently, Shen Bi congratulated with admiration. "Thank you, that means luck is better, but no matter how much you make, it can''t be as expensive as that." Xia Yu smiled, said modestly, and by the way gave HSBC a little bit. "Where, with Xia Sheng''s superb skills, it will be sooner or later to surpass HSBC. I believe that the Jiuding Consortium will shock the world under your leadership!" Good words don''t need to be pretentious, but they are the best way to bring relationships closer. Shen Bi naturally exaggerated and made Xia Yu wave his hands modestly. After three rounds of tea, greetings are enough, it''s time to get into the topic. Based on the current situation in Xiangjiang, Shen Bi must have guessed part of Xia Yu''s intentions, so he did not cover up like the previous few times, but chose to directly reveal his intentions. Now every minute of time is precious, there is no need to waste these meaningless and nonsense. "Shen Sheng, I am here this time. I want to borrow a loan from your bank. The amount is a bit large. I don''t know what you want?" Speaking of business affairs, Shen Bi sat up straight, his expression became solemn, and he said without hesitation: "No problem, we opened a bank, lending is our main business, no matter how large the funds, as long as Xia Sheng can provide enough Mortgage, no amount of money is a problem." Hearing Shen Bi''s words, Xia Yu was not polite. He said directly: "Then I can rest assured, I plan to use the equity of Wharf Group as collateral for a loan of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "The Wharf Group!" "Billions!" Hearing these two keywords, even Shen Bi could not help but breathe, then looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and agreed without hesitation: "No problem! HSBC took it!" After speaking, Shen Bi added another sentence: "Xia Sheng, is one billion enough?" When encountering such a big business, Shen Bi naturally wanted more. The Wharf Group is now a wholly-owned company of Xia Yu, and its value is far more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, even if the Wharf Group¡¯s equity is used as collateral, it will not be a 100% equity, but will be based on asset valuation. A large part of the equity is used as collateral. Therefore, the Wharf Group can borrow more. Moreover, Shen Bi can feel at ease with this loan, and don''t worry about not getting it back. After all, with Xia Yu''s strength, he is fully capable of repaying one billion loans. Even if it can''t be repaid, there is a more valuable Wharf Group! Although Shen Bi was not optimistic about the Wharf Group before, it was also when he was under the Jardine Consortium. Now that the Wharf Group is in Xia Yu''s hands, Shen Bi''s confidence has greatly increased. Not for anything else, just because Xia Yu never lost money along the way, and this triumphant record gave Shen Bi ample confidence. Seeing that Shen Bi agreed without hesitation and wanted to lend him more, Xia Yu smiled, shook his head and said: "Shen Sheng, one billion Hong Kong dollars is enough for the time being. If it is not enough, I will definitely do it again. Come and chat." If the loan is sufficient for the time being, there is no need to borrow more, and the interest will be increased? If you have no money in the future, you can come back. Can Shen Bi refuse? Seeing Xia Yu''s refusal, Shen Bi felt a little regretful in his heart, but the regret was wiped out in an instant. In any case, being able to lend one billion Hong Kong dollars is already considered a super big order, and he should be content. If this one billion Hong Kong dollar loan is added, Xia Yu has already done more than one billion business with HSBC this year, and his contribution to HSBC will rank among the top ten in Hong Kong. Sometimes, surprises always appear one after another. Just when Shen Bi thought it was time to discuss loan details with Xia Yu, unexpectedly Xia Yu threw another big order, which caused a huge wave in Shen Bi, who had just calmed down. "Shen Sheng, in addition to loans, I have a few deals to do with your bank." Xia Yu''s light and fluttering words made Shen Bi arouse his spirits and solemnly made a please gesture, saying: "Please speak!" With that said, he began to look forward to the next few transactions in his heart, which could be placed behind the one billion loan, which would definitely not be too small. "Then I''ll speak straightforwardly!" ¡°I heard that HSBC has shares in many companies of the Jardine Consortium, and even the holding parent companies Jardine Holdings, Jardine Group and Jardine Pacific have equity.¡± After Xia Yu finished speaking, Shen Bi''s expression changed, his eyes became deep, and he looked straight at Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Shen Bi indifferently. After a few seconds, Shen Bi regained his calm expression, took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile: "There are some." Xia Yu smiled and pointedly said: "Shen Sheng can also see it. Now the Keswick family is constantly selling the company, and family fighting is also very serious. According to the current trend, if the company is still In the hands of the Serk family, shrinking assets is inevitable." Shen Bi was silent, and did not refute, this was a matter of course. It''s not that the companies under the Jardine Consortium are not good. There are definitely companies with good development prospects and good status quo, but that is from the previous view. No one in the upper class of Xiangjiang knows that the Jardine consortium is in chaos. This top-down turmoil has severely damaged the foundation of the Jardine consortium and can no longer be stopped. Even if the iron-blooded Patriarch of Old John returns to life, it will be useless. Up. No matter how good a company is, it must have a stable management and a good development environment, but now, these two things are gone. So even those companies that have developed well before have their prospects clouded. Unless these companies are bought by other bigwigs, the shortcomings of the management and development environment can be solved, and they can settle down and develop again. But these are destined to have nothing to do with HSBC. The function of the bank determines that it can only invest and cannot conduct business operations and management in other industries. Therefore, the stocks held by HSBC will either let them shrink or choose to sell them. The other big guys are not fools are not going to watch HSBC holding the stocks and sit back and enjoy their success. They also need as much equity as possible to firmly control the company. HSBC is destined to be inevitable. In addition, when banks do business, they want to make money and welcome customers from all corners of the world. Many of the big brothers in Hong Kong have a good relationship with HSBC and are not so easy to refuse. For example, if Bao Yugang wanted to buy shares of some companies in the hands of HSBC, Shen Bi would not be able to block his face. It is precisely because of this truth that many bigwigs come to HSBC to look for Shen Bi these days, and Shen Bi sells as soon as he can sell it, so he can take back the money first. After all, the development of banks must be based on stability, and getting rich is not suitable for banks. Even if the stocks are sold to those big bosses and there is no investment income, but these big bosses want to develop the company, after all, they can''t do without the bank, they will still come to HSBC for loans, and HSBC will also benefit. It''s just that the way of benefit has changed, from enjoying dividends to getting loan interest. Chapter 419: Win-win After pondering for a moment, Shen Bi nodded slightly, looked at Xia Yu''s eyes, and asked: "Yes, I don''t know which stocks of companies Xia Sheng is interested in?" "Milk Company, Golden Gate Construction and Jardine Auto Group!" Xia Yu said his goal lightly, but Shen Bi frowned subconsciously. Because HSBC does not have stocks in any of these three companies! In the past few days, predators from all directions have rushed to bite the Jardine Consortium. They have to fight for the equity of some companies. Many people have turned to HSBC. For this reason, Shen Bi asked people to check the shares of Jardine Consortium companies in the hands of HSBC. He can be sure that there is absolutely no stock of the three companies that Xia Yu said. "Xia Sheng, I''m sorry, HSBC doesn''t have the stocks of these three companies." Shen Bi said apologetically, and at the same time he had no regrets in his heart and missed these big deals. Hearing what Shen Bi said, Xia Yu was not disappointed, and still smiled. Of course, HSBC does not have the shares of these three companies. After all, these three companies are all private companies of the Jardine Consortium, and they have all been privatized in recent years. The equity should not have flowed out. But since Xia Yu mentioned it, he naturally had his thoughts. "Shen Sheng, in fact, HSBC has equity in these companies, isn''t it the three of Jardine Holdings, Jardine Pacific, and Jardine Group?" Xia Yu reminded with a smile. Shen Bi frowned at first, a little confused, but he knew that Xia Yu''s words must have profound meaning. What are the connections between these three companies and those three companies? After thinking about it, Shen Bi flashed a flash of light in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he thought of Xia Yu''s meaning. "Xia Sheng wants me to replace the shares of Jardine Holdings with the shares of the three companies you want?" Although Shen Bi asked, his tone seemed affirmative. Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, the equity of Jardine''s subsidiaries is easy to sell, but no one wants the equity of these holding parent companies. HSBC wants to sell it but cannot sell it. It is better to replace it with the Keswick family. , Spin off some companies out." Jardine Holdings, Jardine Group, and Jardine Pacific are the holding parent companies that belong to the Keswick family to control the assets in their hands, and they have very strong control over these companies. The number of scattered shares of these three companies is very small, and HSBC and Standard Chartered may have some. Even if these small shares are taken by other consortium bosses, they will become minority shareholders, which will not affect the will of these three companies. In the final analysis, it will be a tasteless for them. That is, the bank holds it in its hands and can obtain stable dividends. Now that there are more companies under the Jardine Consortium that can be robbed, why put the money in the ribs? Other consortium bosses do not look down upon some of the shares of these three companies unless the Keswick family is willing to sell the shares of these holding parent companies. But it is impossible to think about it! Therefore, these shares are placed in the hands of HSBC, and their value will shrink as the number of subsidiaries under the Jardine Consortium continues to decrease. Of course, this is not to say that these equity is useless, in fact, it is still very useful. But it is only useful for the Keswick family. At this critical time of survival, the major branches of the Keswick family will definitely find ways to cut off a large part of the unimportant companies, recover capital, and then try to keep some important companies, especially the equity of the three parent companies. As many as possible, so that they can achieve absolute control over their subsidiaries. However, the Dairy Company, Golden Gate Construction and the Jardine Auto Group that Xia Yu wanted were also important companies to the Keswick family. Even if Xia Yu used tough methods, he might not be able to win them all. So this requires HSBC to come forward and forcefully request the split and replace the shares in HSBC''s hands with shares of several subsidiaries. This kind of thing, others may not be successful, but Shen Bi came forward, the success rate is the greatest! Don¡¯t forget, the Jardine consortium owes a lot of money to HSBC. In these years, if there is no capital from HSBC, how can the Jardine consortium acquire the company on a large scale? At this critical time of survival, these debts have become deadly bombs. If HSBC forced them to pay them back because of fear of risk and insolvency, they would really kill them! So even if these companies no longer want to sell, the Keswick family will still sell them due to reality. After all, HSBC also needs these three. In addition to these three, the Jardine Consortium also has a series of important companies such as Land Group, Jardine Machinery Group, Jardine Real Estate Investment, Jardine Shipping, and Yigo Property. Without these three companies, after replacing the shares, the Keswick family can also collect more equity in other companies. Looking at it from another angle, it might not be helping them streamline their strength. Shen Bi fell into deep thought. He recalled how many shares HSBC had in the three companies, Jardine Holdings and Jardine Pacific. What was the value? Can it be changed for success, and if so, how much can it be changed? Seeing Shen Bi thinking, Xia Yu''s mouth curled up, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. Shen Bi did not refuse in a word, but was thinking, and he could see that he was tempted by Xia Yu''s proposal. This situation was expected before Xia Yu came. After all, Shen Bi is not stupid. Xia Yu''s proposal is actually helping HSBC to unwind and let HSBC swim out of the vortex. What''s more, if you do this, HSBC can make a fortune. After a long time, Shen Bi recovered from his deep thoughts and said to Xia Yu earnestly: "Xia Sheng, yes, we have taken over this business." Just as Xia Yu smiled, Shen Bi continued: "However, I just calculated it. The equity in HSBC is not enough to completely replace the three companies you want." It turned out to be this! The heart that Xia Yugang mentioned was immediately let go, and said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter if it is not enough to replace it. I entrust HSBC to help me purchase the insufficiency. I don''t know if it is possible?" Hearing this, Shen Bi, who was prepared for a long time, smiled and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, we''ll take it." This is what Shen Bi wants, so that he can get these three companies with peace of mind. It doesn¡¯t matter if the value of the equity replacement is insufficient. When the value of the equity replacement is reached, can the Keswick family still hold a part of the equity? HSBC wants it, but the Keswick family will sell it! What Shen Bi did not say to Xia Yu is that HSBC can get a lot of equity without the need for replacement. Dairy Farm, Jardine Motors Group, and Golden Gate Construction all asked HSBC to borrow money for development at the beginning, and Shen Bi could obtain shares at a low price through debt-to-equity swaps. Using these two methods together, it is absolutely sufficient to win all the shares of the three companies. After getting the stock at a low price and selling it backhand to Xia Yu, he can make a large profit. But how much money you can make depends on how much purchase price you can negotiate with Xia Yu! "Okay, Shen Sheng, let''s confirm the cooperation first, please borrow the phone, and I will let someone come over." Xia Yu drank his cup of tea in one sip, and said sharply. "Okay, please use it. I will also arrange for someone to verify it first." After that, Xia Yu immediately called Jiuding Securities Company and asked Wang Qi to bring his lawyer and assistants. After Wang Qi and others arrived, the people from HSBC also arrived. The first thing is to talk about the one-billion-dollar loan. The key to the negotiation is the loan interest rate and the proportion of the Wharf Group''s mortgage equity. These are all small issues that can be seen. After some discussions, they were quickly discussed and the two parties took the lead in signing a loan contract. After that is the highlight! Because HSBC did not have equity in these three companies, Xia Yu signed an agreement to entrust the acquisition. However, it is different from the commission agreement discussed last time. This time, instead of discussing the commission ratio, we directly negotiated the fixed price at which the three companies should be sold to Xia Yu. Xia Yu did not take advantage of HSBC Bank. After some discussions, these three companies were packaged and sold to Xia Yu at a price of 900 million Hong Kong dollars. In order to be foolproof, there was an extra 200 million liquidated damages in the clause to prevent HSBC from taking it. After arriving at the company, they were sold to others. Xia Yu had to guard against it, because these three companies are too important to him, and there is absolutely no room to lose! HSBC can definitely get it at a very low price, but these have nothing to do with Xia Yu. After all, this is HSBC''s ability. This benefit should be obtained. He only needs to ensure that the company can get it. Of the one billion Hong Kong dollars loan, 900 million Hong Kong dollars will soon be returned to HSBC, and the remaining 100 million Hong Kong dollars Xia Yu intends to invest in the rectification of other companies. Under the witness of a specially invited third-party law firm, Xia Yu and Shen Bi signed and sealed on behalf of their respective companies. Ten percent of the contract, both Xia Yu and Shen Bi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After carefully closing the contract, Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Shen Bi to thank him: "Shen Sheng, thank you very much!" "You are polite, it should be us thank you for your business!" Shen Bi quickly said The smile on his face could not be concealed. In his eyes, Xia Yu is the God of Wealth. He merged with HSBC''s two partners. As long as HSBC operates reasonably, it is completely equivalent to lending Xia Yu 100 million in cash, but it has made a business of 1.9 billion. HSBC¡¯s problem, and it can also profit from several directions. If this spreads out, other banks don''t know, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be envious. However, Standard Chartered Bank wants to be envious, but also not enviable. This kind of thing is done by HSBC in Hong Kong. This is based on comprehensive strength to make money. Xia Yu knew this, so he was confident that Shen Bi would do it. He also corrected his mentality. Although HSBC Bank can certainly make a lot of money, it is enough for him to think he does not suffer. What''s more, he didn''t suffer at all, so he took a one billion loan, but he got three favorite companies and one hundred million Hong Kong dollars. How can he make money? There is already a win-win business in this world! Chapter 420: showdown In the next few days, including Saturday and Sunday, the stock market was closed for two days, and the chaotic and fierce battle was forced to stop. Whether it was the dazzling crowd eating melons or the contestants, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But if you think that the battle really stopped, you would be wrong! The fight only turned from light to dark. While actively preparing for the war, all the bigwigs were also mobilizing all their forces to find ways to acquire the targets they wanted outside the field. The threshold of the Keswick family would be trampled. The various branches of the Keswick family are about to blow up their heads. Not only are they busy with internal intrigues within the family, but they also have to constantly deal with all the bigwigs, making them physically and mentally exhausted. Especially when Shen Bi came to the door, the major branches of the Keswick family were even more frightened. It was Monday again in a blink of an eye. As soon as the stock market opened, the war reignited, and it seemed that because of the suppression for two days, the war became more fierce. The entire stock market opened up dozens of battlefields, large and small. Because of these battles, the stock market has become erratic like deep sea waves. Stockholders and small and medium-sized institutions have to go through many psychological struggles before operating, and they dare not end easily. At the HSBC Headquarters Building, Shen Bi is busy with Xia Yu¡¯s cooperation project. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Bi said without raising his head, then he heard the sound of the door opening and felt a person walk in. After writing a line again, Shen Bi looked up. When he saw that it was Liu Tianci, he was slightly refreshed, thinking that Liu Tianci had something to report, because he saw Liu Tianci solemnly holding a hand. Documents. "what happened?" Shen Bi put down the pen, moved his wrists with his fingers crossed, and asked. Liu Tianci took a deep breath, took a step forward, held the document in both hands, presented it to Shen Bi, and said softly: "Chairman, this is my resignation, I''m here to apply for your resignation!" what? resignation! Shen Bi was taken aback by Liu Tianci''s words, his face became solemn, he glanced at the file in Liu Tianci''s hand, and then looked up and down Liu Tianci, and found that his expression was serious, obviously a decision after thinking about it. Shen Bi took a deep breath, and did not accept Liu Tianci''s resignation, but put him on the table, Liu Tianci put down in response, stood looking straight at Shen Bi. After watching Liu Tianci quietly for a while, noticing his firm will, Shen Bi said blankly: "Sit down first, let''s talk about it!" "Thank you, Chairman!" Liu Tianci nodded in thanks, then took the stool and sat down, putting his hands on his knees respectfully, waiting for Shen Bi''s question. "Liu Tianci, you are a talent I am very optimistic about, and an elite that the company focuses on training. With your abilities, you have a great opportunity to become a director of HSBC, and it is not impossible to even become the president. The company attaches great importance to you, you should You can feel it!" For a smart person like Liu Tianci, Shen Bi straightforwardly pointed out the words, wanted to play an emotional card with him, and tried to change his mind. Liu Tianci nodded heavily and said gratefully: "Chairman, I can feel the cultivation of you and the company, and I have always kept it in my heart!" Upon seeing this, Shen Bi nodded slightly, and then continued: "Another, HSBC is the leading company in Asia. You are still young. The HSBC platform can give you better opportunities for exercise and growth. Apart from HSBC, there should be no Other better platforms are suitable for you." "Why do you think of resigning because the company is not happy and feels that the company is not suitable for you? Or is it purely personal?" After finishing all the words, Shen Bi looked at Liu Tianci closely. Liu Tianci apologized and said: "Chairman, the company treats me very well. I want to resign because of personal factors." After speaking, Liu Tianci said again in order to show his determination: "I made this decision after careful consideration!" As soon as he said this, Shen Bi frowned and looked at Liu Tianci stubbornly. Liu Tianci didn''t change his face and looked at Shen Bi calmly without any guilty conscience. For a long time, Shen Bi''s eyes drooped slightly and asked faintly: "Really decided?" "Yes!" Liu Tianci nodded without hesitation. "Can you tell me where you are going? From your perspective, you won''t leave easily, I''m a little curious." Seeing that after he was fighting for it, Liu Tianci was still so decisive, Shen Bi sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn''t keep it, he sighed and asked. Before Liu Tianci resigned, he had already been angry with Xia Yu, and he would take up a new position immediately after resigning. He was destined to be unable to hide it, and there was no need to hide it. So facing Shen Bi¡¯s question, Liu Tianci answered truthfully: "I will go to serve as the general manager of Guangan Bank." "Guangan Bank?" Shen Bi was taken aback, feeling that the name was a bit unfamiliar. He frowned and thought about it carefully, only to remember that it seemed to be a small bank belonging to a small family in Xiangjiang, and its development was not very good. He suddenly wondered that such a small bank, let alone HSBC, can''t even compare with the securities department that Liu Tianci manages. In addition, he also just told Liu Tianci that he has the opportunity to become a director or even chairman of HSBC. It doesn''t make sense to be regarded as the general manager of a small bank! Is there anything special about this bank? Unable to understand Shen Bi immediately asked: "Is there anything special about Guang''an Bank?" Liu Tianci said frankly, "Guangan Bank has changed its boss, and now the chairman is Xia Sheng." "Xia Sheng?" "Xia Yu?!" Shen Bi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that there is only one Hong Kong Island surnamed Xia who is still a big boss, Xia Yu. Xia Yu actually bought Guangan Bank! And it was he who dug up Liu Tianzi! These two news shocked Shen Bi. Looking at Liu Tianci''s calm face, he finally couldn''t keep calm, and couldn''t help but shook his head with a wry smile. He also wondered why Liu Tianci wanted to quit. When he knew that Xia Yu was digging, Shen Bi was not surprised. To say that Xiangjiang Although HSBC is the leader, suppress the Quartet. But Xia Yu''s power is not bad, although the capital is not as much as HSBC, but it can''t cover the strong ability! Said to be a stock god, in fact, is a killer, stepping up on other people''s corpses all the way, and he is the number one dangerous man in the securities industry. A capable person like Liu Tianci, who has strong self-control, and is extremely motivated and studious, must have his own pride, but if Xia Yu comes out, he is likely to be impressed. What''s more, Shen Bi knew that Xia Yu and Liu Tianci had a very close personal relationship. Now Xia Yu has acquired a Guang''an Bank. Although it has a poor foundation, it can definitely grow rapidly as long as it uses the energy of the Jiuding Consortium. Coupled with the connections of Chinese capital, it should not be a problem to develop into a large bank. Liu Tianci has a good personal relationship with Xia Yu, and he is subdued by Xia Yu''s ability, and can still serve as the general manager of a bank with great potential. Liu Tianci''s job change is reasonable. It seems that I can''t stop it! Chapter 421: Bank expansion "Okay! I agree!" Shen Bi sighed, reluctantly took the resignation, glanced at it and signed his name. After signing, Shen Bi asked Liu Tianci: "Before you leave, hand over your work." "Chairman, the work has been completely handed over, and I have handed over everything to Zhang Kun." Liu Tianci said immediately. Hearing this, Shen Bi looked up at Liu Tianci, smiled and shook his head without saying much, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. Even the work was handed over to his deputy Zhang Kun, and it was indeed a long-planned plan. But since he agreed to his resignation, Shen Bi wouldn''t say any more. It''s better to get together and stay away. There is no need to harm the friendship. "That''s good!" "I wish you a bright future! Come back and sit down often!" Shen Bi smiled and blessed. "Thank you, Chairman! I will never forget!" Liu Tianci stood up, bowed deeply towards Shen Bi and said. After that, Liu Tianci left with ease all over. Seeing Liu Tianci closed the door and left, Shen Bi finally stopped hiding, his face became complicated, but he was not angry. When he was his age, he had seen it all through ups and downs. This kind of person walking to a high place had not yet made him angry. After all, Liu Tianci did not owe HSBC. Although HSBC has nurtured him and gave him room to display his talents, he has also made huge profits for HSBC over the years. What made him feel complicated was that Xia Yu really got involved in the bank. When Xia Yu stepped out of the securities industry and robbed Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Shen Bi had a hunch, and now his guess has come true. Xia Yu has a bank, which means that Hong Kong Banking will have another strong player, which will still have a certain impact on HSBC. Most obviously, not surprisingly, in the future, the capital flow of Xia Yu''s companies will go to the accounts of Guang''an Bank, and HSBC''s profits will be reduced. Shen Bi can''t blame at all. Heung Kong Huazi Bank is not a minority, and many bigwigs do this. Even if they don''t set up their own bank specifically, they will buy shares in a bank. "Forget it, it will take many years for Xia Yu''s bank to develop. By then, maybe I will have retired. This issue will be left to the next few people." "There are many things that Guangan Bank can''t do. You should find HSBC, and you will still find it, just like this cooperation." "But Xia Yu didn''t say hello to me in advance when he dug me, he had to ask him for an explanation." Thinking of this, Shen Bi picked up the phone and dialed the Xia Yu office of Jiuding Securities Co., and soon the phone was connected, and it was Xia Yu''s voice that came. Shen Bi smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, good morning!" "You are not being kind, all the people who are digging have come to me. With a precise vision, we only pick our best people to dig. We have lost a lot..." "Shen Sheng is sorry, it is true that the elites of Hong Kong are in HSBC. I also want to find people from other places, but I can''t find them. I can''t help but find my old friend Liu Tianci..." "..." "Well, Xia Sheng, Liu Tianci is a person with great potential. I hope you can train him more." "By the way, your list has progressed. The Keswick family has agreed to replace the split company. It is now coordinating. We will follow up at any time and it should be completed in a few days..." After hanging up the phone, Shen Bi thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head, and continued to work. When I asked Xia Yu for an explanation, I was just talking about it. How could it be really unwise to fight Xia Yu? ... However, at Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu, who hung up the phone, smiled and was obviously in a good mood. The three preferred companies are going well, Liu Tianci finally resigned, and his bank can finally be launched! Looking at his watch, Xia Yu murmured: "Calculate the distance. It is estimated that Liu Tianci will come in at most ten minutes." Sure enough, after only five minutes, Liu Tianci came to Xia Yu''s office. Seeing the energetic Liu Tianci, Xia Yu smiled and asked him to sit down. He also sat down at the coffee table and made tea without any pretensions. Liu Tianci wanted to help but Xia Yu stopped him. Although Liu Tianci is now his subordinate, Xia Yu is not a person who forgets his roots. If Liu Tianci had not helped him several times when he was weak, where is he now? So long ago, Xia Yu told Liu Tianci that it was enough to make friends, but Liu Tianci reluctantly agreed, but in fact he abides by the way of respect and humbleness. Xia Yu couldn''t talk about him, but in private, Xia Yu asked Liu Tianci to let nature and relax. "Come on, have tea!" "Thank you!" After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu asked casually: "Shen Bi didn''t embarrass you, did he?" "No, I knew I was working with you, so I signed it easily." Liu Tianci said with a slight smile. Xia Yu nodded slightly, and did not tell him that Shen Bi had called. Instead, he said, "Since you are here, it is time for Guang''an Bank to appear." "By the way, have you made your development plan?" Xia Yu asked. "It''s done!" Liu Tianci said, took out a prepared material from his briefcase, and solemnly handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu put down the teacup and took it, reading it carefully, stopping to think for a moment from time to time. And Liu Tianci was drinking tea quietly, observing the changes in Xia Yu''s expression. He was not worried, after all, he prepared this plan carefully, and revised it repeatedly until it was perfected. He has reached the point where he can''t change it with his abilities, so he is very confident. Even if there were loopholes, he recognized it! For a long time, Xia Yu satisfactorily closed the plan, and exclaimed: "Yes, this plan can be said to be very comprehensive. It seems that entrusting Guangan Bank to you is the most correct choice!" Liu Tianci suddenly smiled upon hearing the words. "The business plan is based on what you do, but the deposits are adjusted upwards to the first place in the same period in Xiangjiang, and we will try our best to absorb deposits!" Xia Yu thought for a while and made suggestions. Can the interest he pays to users on deposits be higher than the interest he asks for HSBC loans? Absolutely impossible! Guang''an Bank belongs to him. After absorbing savings, it will definitely lend to others. Where can it be safe to lend to its own companies? What''s more, even according to the normal loan interest, the money only flows from other companies to Guang''an Bank. It is not left-handed or right-handed, and the profits are in their pockets! Therefore, after the bank opens, it must do its utmost to absorb reserves. The more reserves, the more he earns! Liu Tianci nodded and said, "Okay!" "After you go to take over the bank, you immediately proceed to recover the non-performing loans and do a good job in restructuring the bank. Guang''an Bank changed its name to Jiuding Bank, and the logo has been given to you." "Now the bank has five branches, one each on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, Old Town, and Singapore. It is still too few." "The initial expansion will be doubled, with two branches in each area. You have to choose the location of the new branch. Don''t be too close to the original branch. If you don''t have enough staff, you can recruit You are responsible for the recruitment. " "The Wharf Group has a 12-story building on Queen''s Road, Central on Hong Kong Island, which is relatively close to the HSBC headquarters. Although it is not as good as the headquarters buildings of major banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered, it can still last a few years. The lease has been terminated and all recovered. Now it is being renovated. You can go and see and renovate according to your ideas." "The existing sub-branches and new sub-branches will also be renovated. I have already ordered the construction department of the Wharf Group. They will contact you at that time." "Well, that''s it for the time being, do you have any other ideas?" After speaking, Xia Yu had a dry mouth, took a sip of tea, and asked Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No more." Xia Yu nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said: "During this period, I will integrate all the companies under it. At that time, whether it is Jiuding Securities, Jardine Insurance, and Jiuding Bank, it will all be under the financial group. The subsidiary, Jiuding Bank will be inaugurated before then. Time is a bit tight. You have to speed up." "no problem!" Liu Tianci said immediately, with a smile on his face. The integration of the financial sector of the boss Xia Yu will greatly increase the cohesion, and the newly opened Jiuding Bank will surely reap great benefits, but the premise is to do a good job of preparations and achieve smooth cooperation with the other two companies. Liu Tianci drank his cup of tea in one sip, and stood up to say goodbye to Xia Yu: "Boss, I''ll pass if there is nothing wrong." "Go, tell me if you have any problems, you can solve them." "Ok!" Seeing Liu Tianci leaving resolutely, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and smiled. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 422: Consolidate the dominance Jiuding Newspaper Company, General Manager''s Office. Yan Wenhan sat on the chair, quietly browsing the sales data of the company''s major newspapers and magazines, with a satisfied smile on his face. This is the data collected by the subordinates just now. When Jiuding Newspaper Company''s major newspapers first published, Yan Wenhan would follow up the sales situation every day for real-time adjustment. However, after the outbreak period, the sales of the major newspapers have stabilized. Although there will be growth, the growth rate has slowed significantly due to the limit of the market. The major newspapers and periodicals also have a strong loyal reader group, which is not so easy. Suffered from turmoil. Therefore, he no longer keeps focusing on the sales volume, and instead watches once a week, or reports when there are major changes. He focuses on managing the company and how he has continued to dig deeper. However, two days ago, "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Tiger" resumed publication, he naturally must pay attention to ensure the smooth resumption of these two newspapers. In any case, Sing Tao News Group was bought by the boss, and he also put a lot of effort in the middle. If these two newspapers sink, where will the boss Xia Yu''s face go? He did not allow the myth of Jiuding Newspaper Company to be shattered in his hands, otherwise he would only appear incompetent! Therefore, in order to smoothly resume publication of several newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily", he has made thorough preparations. The omni-channel recommended gift package is sent to **** the reissue of these two newspapers! All the newspapers of Jiuding News, including "Jiuding Daily", "Fengyun Daily", and "South China Morning Post", have given the "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" to the "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard". The company¡¯s upper management has repeatedly discussed and re-established the development route of "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard", and specially developed several features to avoid homogenization with content newspapers such as "Fengyun Daily" and "South China Morning Post". The growing Jiuding News Agency gave part of the heavy news to the "Sing Tao Daily" and the "English Standard" as a highlight to attract readers. After repeated measures, "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" were successfully re-published. After Xia Yu''s approval, several other tabloids were cut down by Yan Wenhan, and they did not re-publish to waste manpower and material resources. Among them, "Sing Tao Daily" sold 420,000 copies and "English Standard" sold 80,000 copies. The two newspapers had a huge increase the next day. Such sales, although not as good as the peak of these two newspapers, but if you think about it carefully, the publication has been suspended for a period of time, the reputation has been stinking for a long time, and there are so many sales, it is already commendable! At least it has been successfully reissued! And Yan Wenhan is also confident that the sales of these two newspapers will continue to rise, after all, now is a golden opportunity! During this period of time, the stock market was raging and the business community was in chaos. The people from all walks of life watched it very well and were very concerned about any news about the war or the bigwigs of all walks of life. Yan Wenhan has counted that due to the fact that the breaking news is too dense, which drove the outbreak of the entire market, the total sales of newspapers in the entire Xiangjiang increased by nearly 20%! It''s really scary! Among them, the sales of newspapers under Jiuding Newspaper Company have increased the most! Yan Wenhan was still wondering at first, and then sent someone to the market to investigate and learned that he was still affected by the boss Xia Yu. The reason is simple, the boss of Jiuding Newspaper Company is Xia Yu! Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund are brother companies! In this highly anticipated period of time, major newspapers have tried their best to dig inside information to attract readers. However, in the eyes of readers, no matter how you dig, other newspapers are definitely not as good as the newspapers owned by Jiuding News. In today''s war, the stock **** Xia Yu is the core of the core. Who knows all kinds of inside stories and valuable information in Xiangjiang, and who else? After all, media professionals are outsiders in the financial industry. Where can the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company with professional aura come from reliable? So after learning this reason, Yan Wenhan was overjoyed, and without any hesitation, he reported to his boss Xia Yu, and hoped that the boss Xia Yu would provide some valuable inside information without affecting him. In this regard, Xia Yu agreed without hesitation, and also specially greeted Bao Yugang and others, reporting news about various bigwigs. Bao Yugang and others promised that positive publicity would be beneficial to them, so naturally they would not refuse. As a result, newspapers such as "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily", which have a large number of exclusive hot news, have been wildly robbed by the public, and their sales have been rising! "Jiuding Daily" daily sales of 1.45 million copies in the Asia-Pacific region! "Fengyun Daily" daily sales volume of 1.26 million copies in the Asia-Pacific region! "South China Morning Post" is also sold throughout the Asia-Pacific region, with a total daily sales of 310,000 copies! The total daily sales volume of Nanyang Commercial Daily is 250,000 copies! "Sin Chew Daily" has a total daily sales of 240,000 copies! The daily sales volume of "Everyday Daily" is 180,000 copies! And as long as the war of mixed rounds does not stop, the sales of major newspapers will only continue to increase, and the smile on Yan Wenhan''s face will not stop during this time! The proportion of total sales of all newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company in the entire market has further increased, and the throne of media dominance has become more stable! Yan Wenhan also counted the sales of all the company''s newspapers in Hong Kong and Macau, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com actually accounted for more than four floors and five of the total sales in Hong Kong and Macau! And the market share is still on the rise! Although Jiuding News did not leak sales, there are still traces of changes in the market situation. This is known from the looting of Jiuding newspapers in major newsstands after each delivery. The major media are all jealous, but they can only watch weakly. Who will let them not have a big boss? Who makes the boss of Jiuding Newspaper Company a top tycoon? Who makes the stock **** to have a good relationship with the big guys? Forget it, don''t think about it, wash and go to bed early, it will only become more uncomfortable the more you think about it! ... The office of the chairman of the board of directors on the 16th floor of the Cheung Kong Group Headquarters Building, Central Ring Road, Hong Kong Island. Li Jiacheng sat in the boss chair, looked at the manager standing in front of him with admiration, and said happily, "Good job!" "Thank you for the compliment, chairman!" The manager smiled and bowed slightly. In the past few days, the Keswick family suddenly fell, and all the companies under the Jardine Consortium that had been coveted before have been exposed, and after discussing with Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others, Li Jiacheng, who is good at drilling camp, attacked decisively. He knew that most people were staring at the big companies under the Jardine Consortium, and it would absolutely take a lot of effort and money to compete. And the outcome is unpredictable! In addition, his acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni Company, secret purchase of shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and the previous cooperation with Xia Yu attacked the Jardine Consortium''s company, which consumed too much of his working capital. So after thinking about it carefully, Li Jiacheng decided to attack those small companies under the Jardine Consortium. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 423: Big Brother Club This choice has many advantages, the success rate is greater, and the speed is faster, and there are few people competing for it. The Keswick family will not resist selling it, and the price will be lower. And these small companies still have a lot of value. After screening, he found that some small companies have good land under them, so he attacked outright. In the past few days, he has directly eaten several companies. The factories and resident sites under these companies add up to five yuan. The potential value is high, but he bought them at a low price, and he is naturally in a good mood. It''s a pity that there is not much liquidity. Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng wanted to know how much money the company had left. Although he probably had an impression, he was not sure about the exact figure, so he asked his subordinates: "Does the company still have 30 million in working capital now?" "Back to the chairman, I just watched it. There are only 25.3 million." The manager said respectfully. Hearing that, Li Jiacheng frowned and felt a little depressed. Liquidity is the blood of a company, especially for real estate companies. Generally, real estate companies have large amounts of working capital. But now there are only 25.3 million, which is too small for the Cheung Kong Industrial Group, and there is already a risk. Li Jiacheng''s first thought was that the money could not be moved anymore! It¡¯s just that the opportunity is rare now, is it really necessary to watch other big guys continue to eat Hesai? Li Jiacheng is really unwilling! It''s just that Li Jiacheng didn''t dare to touch the money when he thought that the Cheung Kong Industrial Group was continuously targeted during this period. Thinking of those bad things, Li Jiacheng felt a little bad, and asked the manager: "How are those things?" The manager knew what Li Jiacheng was asking, and he happened to be following up. Knowing the situation very clearly, he truthfully reported: "Chairman, the situation is worse. As long as the company under Hutchison Whampoa cooperates with us, cooperation will be out. Although the cooperation was not suspended, whether it was delivery or settlement, it was delayed until the last day, which caused us a lot of trouble." "Competitively, our company''s business has been deliberately targeted by Hutchison Whampoa, and progress is not going well." "Is Hutchison Whampoa only targeting us? Is it targeting others?" "I haven''t found it yet!" Li Jiacheng frowned, lost in thought. "Hutchison Whampoa..." "This is definitely deliberately looking for trouble. All of the companies under it are like this. It can only be an order from Qi Dezun. Could it be that he found something?" "It shouldn''t be, I have hidden so deeply, but apart from the secret purchase of stocks, what else can make Qi Dezun react so much?" "Is it really exposed?" Li Jiacheng was uncertain and his eyes flickered. "Ring Ling Ling!" At this moment, the rapid telephone ringing rang, awakening Li Jiacheng in thought. He frowned slightly, and looked at the phone number, his brow furrowed deeper, with a bad feeling in his heart, because he knew the number very well. "Hey, this is Li Jiacheng!" "Li Sheng, I am Qi Dezun!" "Mr. Qi Dezun, good morning, I didn''t expect to be able to receive your call, it is a great honor!" Li Jiacheng smiled and said into the microphone, with a very enthusiastic attitude. "..." Only as Qi Dezun kept talking, the smile on Li Jiacheng''s face slowly converged and became serious. "Okay, I will be there on time, see or leave!" "Fuck!" The standing manager looked at Li Jiacheng''s face sinking like water. He felt a sense of depression. At this moment, Li Jiacheng''s voice came: "Well, you go down first, I have something to deal with!" "Yes!" Watching the manager''s subordinates exit the office, Li Jiacheng''s face became very solemn, his brows furrowed, and the deep folds between his brows seemed to be able to trap mosquitoes. "It seems that he really found it out. The actions these days are warning me? Are you planning to have a showdown with me this afternoon?" "With Qi Dezun''s wrist, it is estimated that all the preparations have been made, and he was really caught off guard, huh~" Li Jiacheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling very unhappy. "The first move is lost, and we must prepare for the worst!" "Let¡¯s go and see how many stocks have been acquired... hey..." After thinking about it, Li Jiacheng sighed, stood up, and left the office. ... At three o''clock in the afternoon, in a box of a luxury hotel, Li Jiacheng and a subordinate sat opposite Qi Dezun and others. Qi Dezun''s expression was indifferent, but the two people behind him looked at Li Jiacheng with a hostile look in their eyes. Li Jiacheng moved in his heart, but turned a blind eye. He smiled and said to Qi Dezun: "Mr. Qi Dezun, I don''t know what''s going on with me this afternoon?" Qi Dezun took a deep look at Li Jiacheng, and asked, "Mr. Li, I want to use your ingenuity. I should know why we are looking for you?" Li Jiacheng smiled and shook his head, not intending to speak out by himself, a smart businessman would seize even the smallest opportunity. So he still has a little hope, even if this hope is very weak. So Li Jiacheng pretended to be confused and said, "Mr. Qi Dezun, I''m really sorry, I really don''t know what you are asking for." Seeing that Li Jiacheng was still struggling, Qi Dezun quietly looked at Li Jiacheng for a few seconds, smiled, and planned to show off directly. There is no need to waste time playing with him. "take it out!" Qi Dezun said lightly, and then Li Jiacheng saw a person next to Qi Dezun took out a document and pushed it to Li Jiacheng. Seeing Li Jiacheng looking at himself with a little doubt, Qi Dezun said: "Mr. Li, please read these documents first." Li Jiacheng nodded, opened the portfolio, and took out the file, but when he saw the title of the file on the cover, he suddenly took a deep breath. Li Jiacheng slowly opened the file. When he saw the first page, his face changed slightly, and then he returned to calm. He kept reading it blankly, but from his blinking eyes, he could see that his heart was not calm. Li Jiacheng is indeed not calm, because this document directly shattered his last faint hope. With a secret sigh in his heart, Li Jiacheng gently put down the document and raised his head to meet Qi Dezun''s deep gaze. He smiled and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Qi Dezun, I don''t know what you mean by showing this to me?" "Mr. Li, I have to say that you are very courageous! In my opinion, Zheng Yu can''t compare to you!" Qi Dezun said indifferently, and first praised Li Jiacheng. "you flatter me!" Li Jiacheng smiled lightly. "If it weren''t for the Jardine consortium, we and Hutchison Whampoa would not go to investigate. Maybe when I find out, I will become a bereavement dog!" As Qi Dezun said, his eyes became sharp and he gave a cold snort. "How could it happen? I don''t have such a great ability as Xia Sheng. I just like Hutchison Whampoa. I just happen to have some spare money in my hand, so I plan to invest!" Li Jiacheng smiled and said hesily, not intending to admit it. It''s one thing to do it, and it''s another to admit it. Although both sides know many things well, sometimes there are things that cannot be admitted! "Investment? Mr. Li joked!" "You have also read the document just now. I didn''t expect that Mr. Li''s investment method was so unique. He bought my company''s stock six months ago, and still used the method of secret purchase, ha ha!" Qi Dezun said with a sneer, his eyes like knives, staring at Li Jiacheng fiercely. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 424: Preparation before integration "Well, Mr. Li, don''t talk about so many useless things. You and I know exactly what you plan to do. I am here today for one purpose!" "Sell me the shares of Hutchison Whampoa that you secretly purchased. Now that the Jardine Consortium has fallen, many rich people are vying for the company of the Jardine Consortium. I''m here to give you money to help you!" Li Jiacheng looked at Qi Dezun, who was staring at him blankly, and thought of many things. After more than ten seconds, he smiled and nodded: "Thank you Mr. Qi Dezun for your help! I promised!" Seeing Li Jiacheng''s promise, Qi Dezun smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Then let''s continue talking!" "can!" ... In a black car heading towards Central on Hong Kong Island, Li Jiacheng sat blankly in the back of the car, tilting his head and looking outside through the window. In the afternoon negotiations, he finally chose to bow his head and sold the shares of Hutchison Whampoa he secretly purchased to Qi Dezun. I was forced to give up after thinking for so long, and I would not be reconciled to it, let alone Li Jiacheng! It''s a pity that the reality is like this, the ideal is full, the reality is too skinny! Smart people tend to avoid disadvantages and choose to maximize their benefits in everything they do. People who are controlled by emotions are hard to achieve after all! Originally, because of successive events, the funds in his hands were scarce, and the secret purchase of Hutchison Whampoa was forced to slow down, and not many shares were acquired. Now that the secret purchase plan was discovered by Qi Dezun, then the plan went bankrupt and could completely fail. Before Qi Dezun negotiated, he first targeted the suppression of the Cheung Kong Industrial Group. It is known that Qi Dezun has now stabbed and absolutely not allowed Li Jiacheng to fight Hutchison Whampoa. If Li Jiacheng dared to continue, he would only be able to buy stocks clearly, the success rate was almost zero, and he would not be able to withstand the crazy suppression of the Big Mac and Whampoa. Moreover, with the precedent of the Jardine Consortium, the British capital is absolutely vigilant to the extreme. Whoever rises again will definitely cause a collective frenzy of British capital suppression. Taking into account this extremely likely bad situation, Li Jiacheng decisively chose to give up. How about selling the stock to him as Qi Dezun said, cashing out a sum of money to buy the company of the Jardine Consortium. This can also resolve contradictions and strengthen one''s own strength. Although a little frustrated, but this is the best choice! "Xia Sheng, I have suffered the innocent disaster caused by you, hey..." Li Jiacheng felt very depressed when he thought of Qi Dezun saying that it was because of the Jardine Consortium that he started the company''s self-examination and discovered that he had secretly purchased. But he couldn''t blame Xia Yu. Xia Yu probably didn''t expect that he was playing Hutchison Whampoa, so he could only admit it. I wonder if Li Jiacheng knew that Qi Dezun was able to discover the situation because of Xia Yu''s disclosure of the news, how would he feel? However, this truth is destined that Li Jiacheng will never know... "Forget it, don''t think about it, Qi Dezun is never too much. After a careful calculation, I have made some money after holding shares for most of the year." "Now that you have a certain amount of funds, let''s go and buy some other companies that you originally liked but were stranded because of the funds." Shaking his head slightly to cheer himself up, Li Jiacheng began to figure out how to make full use of the funds in his hands to get the most benefits. ... Jiuding Securities Company. Wang Qi, who had been staring at Hutchison Whampoa for a long time, immediately learned that Qi Dezun had met with Li Jiacheng, and he immediately reported to Xia Yu. After listening to Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu smiled and said happily: "Okay, haha!" Seeing that the boss was so happy, Wang Qi also laughed and asked: "Boss, when will we start the plan for Hutchison Whampoa?" Upon hearing this, Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Don''t worry, now we have limited funds and can''t eat Hutchison Whampoa." "Together with the current Qi Dezun, it is definitely the most vigilant time. Now that he has taken the equity in Li Jiacheng''s hands, it is too difficult to control Hutchison Whampoa so much." "Wait slowly. When there is no danger for a while, he still has to cash out some stocks. Hutchison Whampoa is in a quagmire. There is no dividend income. He can''t carry so many bank debts." "Before that, let''s wait for a while, and then slowly secretly buy stocks, don''t be caught!" "understand!" Wang Qi nodded seriously in response. "By the way, Liu Tianci has already gone to rectify the bank. You have to connect with him to ensure resource sharing. So does Jardine Insurance. I will let people connect with you to use the accumulated funds of Jardine Insurance." "In a while, I will integrate several companies, you have to be prepared!" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and told Wang Qi. Wang Qi nodded heavily and replied loudly, "Boss rest assured, I will not let you down!" "Yeah! Go ahead!" "Ok!" After Wang Qi finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Xia Yu, and then slowly exited the office. "Ring Ling Ling..." Not long after Wang Qi left, Xia Yu''s phone rang, and he saw an unfamiliar number, thought for a few seconds, and picked up the microphone. "Hey... are everyone here? They are all in Xiangjiang? Okay I''ll be here in about twenty minutes." After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu stood up and walked outside. Korn Ferry International called by just now, saying that the talents have been found, and asked him to come and have a look. This is the business Xia Yu asked Korn Ferry¡¯s general manager Robert Joyce a few days ago to help him find some top professional managers and senior talents in the insurance industry. After the acquisition of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Xia Yu went to take over and obtained the company''s personnel files and list immediately, and secretly observed it. After observing and understanding, he decisively crossed out some high-level names, some of them were Qiu Hua, some had deep ties to the Keswick family, and some were just too good to go. If the insurance company wants to operate according to his ideas, these people must be cleaned up! However, he didn''t do it right away. Instead, he first found Korn Ferry International and asked Korn Ferry International to find talents for him. As long as the talents are in place, he can take them with them and replace them on the spot, so as to minimize the loss of turbulence. This interview, because there are a lot of people, and considering that it is very eye-catching to let these people come to him for an interview, the news will be leaked out in advance, which may cause unnecessary losses. So Xia Yu decided to conduct an on-site interview at Korn Ferry, and after the selection, he would pay a commission on the same day. Robert Joyce naturally agreed without hesitation to the request of Xia Yu, a top major client. After many days of screening and contacting, these people are now in Xiangjiang, the time has come! "Go to Korn Ferry!" With a hint of expectation, Xia Yu got into the car and told the driver. "Okay, boss!" The driver said respectfully, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the destination. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 425: Dutch wolf "Mr. Xia, you are welcome!" When Xia Yu came to the door of Korn Ferry International, he found General Manager Robert Joyce waiting at the door. When he saw him, he greeted him enthusiastically. "Mr. Robert, hello!" Xia Yu shook hands with him and said with a smile. "Mr. Xia, please inside!" "please!" Soon, Robert Joyce took Xia Yu upstairs. When passing by a large office, Xia Yu saw many people sitting inside. Seeing Xia Yu saw it, Robert Joyce introduced: "Mr. Xia, those interviewers you selected have already arrived!" "Oh!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said softly. "Mr. Xia, can you see this as an interview room?" Robert Joyce walked to an office door and stopped, opened the door, and asked Xia Yu, pointing inside. "can!" Xia Yu glanced at him and said, then stepped in. "Mr. Xia, this is a list of all the personnel. Just tell us who you want to interview!" After receiving the list and resume from Robert Joyce, Xia Yu came to the main seat and nodded towards him: "Then trouble you, you can start now, let this Ding Zhihao know first!" "OK, just a second!" Just as Robert Joyce went to the waiting room to inform people, Xia Yu scanned Ding Zhihao''s resume again. In fact, these resumes were picked out by Xia Yu, and Xia Yu has read it several times. However, the resumes are all kept in the company and have not been brought back. Robert Joyce provided another copy. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" ... At the beginning of the interview, as an interviewer, Xia Yu asked a variety of questions. They were all based on personal resumes. First of all, they asked some professional questions and tested basic skills. If Xia Yu is satisfied with the answer, he will appropriately increase the difficulty of the interview for the next question according to the situation. If the interview site is not satisfied, Xia Yu will directly refuse, and the rest is basically pending. Although he has more people to recruit, the interview ratio is basically one to three, so he must choose the best. Probably it was about ten interviews. Xia Yu looked at the eleventh resume and suddenly raised his spirits. Jason Gregg, a subject of Xia Yu''s investigation, wanted to see if it was the one he knew in his previous life. Soon, a middle-aged man with blond curly hair and a hooked nose walked in. Seeing his calm and confident temperament, Xia Yu nodded secretly. "Please sit down!" "Thank you!" "Jason Gregg?" "Yes!" "I read your resume. It''s relatively concise. First introduce yourself, focusing on what is not in the resume, even your life and hobbies!" Xia Yu put down his resume, crossed his fingers and smiled, and said to him. Jason Gregg was taken aback, then restored his confident expression and started introducing himself. "My name is Jason Gregg..." Listening to Jason Gregg''s self-introduction, Xia Yu nodded from time to time, combined with his resume, he became more and more sure that this Jason Gregg was the one he knew in his previous life. A financial tycoon known as the "wolf of the Netherlands". Not only did he look like him when he was old, but from his self-introduction, Xia Yu has already analyzed his personality, which is very similar to the European financial magnate in his previous life. Unconsciously, Xia Yu lowered his head again and re-scanned his resume. Jason Gregg, 37 years old, from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, studied in the UK at the university, studied finance at the Business School of Imperial College London, and obtained a doctorate degree. After graduating, I first joined the UK''s largest insurance company-Baocheng Group. Five years later, he moved to the UK branch of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company as a business manager. Later, because of disagreement with the concept and the president of the new branch, he resigned resolutely and returned to his hometown of Amsterdam to recuperate. After that, Korn Ferry came to the door to find that Jardine Insurance Consulting Group was recruiting the general manager, so he came to apply. Although Jason Gregg is only 37 years old, in addition to his doctoral degree, he has ten years of work experience and has served as a senior in an insurance company. Whether it is knowledge or ability experience, he is enough to serve as Jardine Insurance Company The post of general manager. Of course, Xia Yu liked him more than this, but his potential and future. In Xia Yu''s memory, there are some memories of Jason Gregg. Why is Jason Gregg called the "Wolf of Holland" because of his prestigious name he set in the Dutch insurance and financial industry. Now because of Xia Yu''s appearance, Jason Gregg has been recruited by Korn Ferry to Xiangjiang to apply. But according to the original trajectory, after a period of leisure at home, he would work for the Dutch National Life Insurance Company, and then he would be promoted step by step until he became the president of the Dutch National Life Insurance Company. Under his leadership, the company''s business grew rapidly. Then came the focus! In 1991, under his matchmaking, in order to cope with the treacherous international financial market and improve risk resistance and competitiveness, the Dutch National Life Insurance Company merged with the Dutch Post Bank Group, which was ranked third in the Dutch banking industry at that time. , The new company is called the Netherlands International Group. After the merger, Jason Gregg served as the executive vice president of the Netherlands International Group, not only continuing to manage the insurance business, but also in charge of some businesses other than insurance. After that, he was promoted again and finally became the CEO of The Netherlands International Group. With great power in hand, without any constraints, Jason Gregg finally released all his abilities. He pursued a wolfish culture, strengthened the management of the company, and made the company extremely aggressive regardless of the insurance industry. , Or insurance reinvestment, or the banking industry, are expanding wildly, actively fighting, and business volume is rising. Later, in 2000, with the help of the connections of the consortium behind, the Bahrain Bank, a British bank with a history of 233 years, was acquired for a symbolic price of 1 pound. Later, the Netherlands International Group ranked more and more in the world''s top 500, until it reached 171. The group''s total assets reached one trillion US dollars, ranking first in the Netherlands and 26th in the global banking industry! Through memory, Xia Yu also knows some more obscure information. The Netherlands International Group is the core of the consortium formed by some second-rate families in Europe. Jason Gregg, a man of civilian origin, has been able to manage the financial core of a consortium for nearly two decades. You can imagine how capable it is! Unfortunately, Jason Gregg retired in 2016. Otherwise, before Xia Yu is reborn, he will definitely be invited to the Davos Economic Forum, maybe... The previous life is not important anymore. The important thing is that before the rise of the "Dutch Wolf", he came to Xia Yu to apply for a job by chance. How could Xia Yu let him go for such a talent with great potential? One more thing, Jason Gregg pursues wolf culture, which fits Xia Yu''s appetite. Isn''t what Xia Yu did in Xiangjiang like a greedy wolf? If Jason Gregg is in charge of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group for Xia Yu, Xia Yu can sit back and relax. In the future, someone who has the ability to run the financial core of a consortium for 20 years will not be able to do an insurance company? "Since you are in front of me, if you let you slip away, I might as well take a piece of tofu and smash to death!"

No ads! ? Time flies like a white horse, one day has passed in an instant, and the interviews Xia Yu was in charge of have all ended. ? After some interviews, 7 people were finally hired, including Jason Gregg, who was the general manager. ? In addition, the other six people are all high-level positions. As for the subsequent recruitment and replacement of middle and low-level personnel, Xia Yulai does not need to worry about it, and the company''s personnel department will be responsible. ? The next day, everyone gathered at Jiuding Securities Company, and then led by Xia Yu to Jardine Insurance Consulting Group. To everyone''s shock, Xia Yu changed the senior management. ? After that, all employees were summoned to conduct training and personnel division adjustments. After a quick and violent rectification, Xia Yu''s prestige was instantly established, and his control of the company jumped several levels. ? After the rectification, Xia Yu called Jason Gregg into his office alone. ? "Jason, the company has just been reorganized, and there are still many shortcomings. You must fully check and keep the company on track." ? "Before that, you should complete the renaming of the company. The name Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is no longer needed. The company''s name is Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd." ? "Okay, BOSS!" ? Jason Gregg obediently responded, and did not object to the name change. ? The name change must be done. Even if Jason Gregg is prevented from understanding the situation, Xia Yu will carry it out hard. ? Although Jardine Insurance Consulting Group is an established insurance company, it must have a reputation and brand. ? But after all, the insurance industry is different from other manufacturing and retail industries. Although the name change has an impact, it will not be too big. ? And the most important reason is that the old brand of Jardine Insurance is not as famous as "Jiuding" in terms of popularity and credibility. ? Xia Yu is a proper financial tycoon. The title of "Stock God" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his success. If the insurance company is changed to Jiuding Insurance, he can enjoy the bonus of the "Jiuding" brand. ? The original Jardine Insurance, at most, involves people who have business needs and are able to buy insurance. Many people at the bottom may not know it. ? But changing to Jiuding Insurance is different. ? The middle and high class people covered by the "Jiuding Daily" are basically able to buy insurance and have a high degree of trust in the Jiuding brand. ? For those who are temporarily unable to buy insurance, they will contact the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper every day. With the accumulation of time, trust in the Jiuding brand will be extremely high. When they have the money to buy insurance, they will be relatively unfamiliar. Insurance companies are naturally more willing to buy insurance from Jiuding Insurance Company. ? Another, when Jiuding Bank is launched, together with the original Jiuding Securities, the Jiuding Financial Group will definitely become a comprehensive financial group ranked extremely high by HeungKong. ? Jiuding Insurance is backed by the well-capitalized Jiuding Financial Group. Customers do not have to worry about indemnity issues. Jiuding Insurance¡¯s competitiveness will increase sharply. ? The name change is not only good for the present, but also good for the future. Xia Yu didn''t change his name unless he got his brains. ? "Do you have any thoughts on the company''s development?" ? Xia Yuxiang asked Jason Gregg with a hint of expectation. ? Jason Gregg thought for a while and said calmly: "Boss, my understanding of the company''s situation is only superficial, and the specific situation needs to be understood in depth." ? "However, according to my idea, the company must first be based on the life insurance business. This is most beneficial to the boss. The next level is property insurance, reinsurance, and investment. Capital is rapidly expanding other types of insurance." ? Xia Yu nodded with a smile, Jason Gregg''s thoughts were similar to his. ? Life insurance must be intensively cultivated, and must be plowed to death, to compete for this market as much as possible. ? Life insurance is the largest market in the insurance industry, including term life, whole life, survival insurance, endowment insurance and so on. ? The second largest insurance market is property insurance. ? P&C insurance alone cannot become the world¡¯s top insurance company, because the capacity of the property insurance market determines the upper limit. Another issue is the effective period of property insurance, which causes the market share to fluctuate easily. ? Unlike life insurance, the market has big profits and high profits. The most important thing is that life insurance has a long period of time to allow funds to be deposited. Also, if you buy a life insurance policy, you will generally not change it. You can collect money for decades and tie up customers. Dead. ? If you think that insurance companies make big money by collecting premiums, then you are wrong! ? Don¡¯t forget, an insurance company is a financial company! ? The most important financial source of an insurance company is actually investment income. The funds that insurance giants trade can easily reach hundreds of billions, and even hundreds of billions. ? Such a huge amount of funds poured into the capital market, it can really block the gods and Buddhas. ? With the capital advantage, if coupled with the top investment operation team, it will really be a heifer standing upside down! ? Xia Yu is not lacking in ability. What is lacking is funds. The funds deposited by insurance companies will never be worse than banks, and they are more advantageous than banks. Without so many rules and regulations of banks, capital operations are more free. ? Jiuding Bank absorbs reserves, Jiuding Insurance deposits huge amounts of funds, Jiuding Securities publicly raises funds from three places, and Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Financial Group can grow rapidly. ? His financial core is able to continuously supply blood to the growing business empire, and his comprehensive anti-risk capabilities will increase sharply. "Jason, get familiar with the company''s business as soon as possible, and then make a detailed plan for me to see." ? "Also, in the area of ??auto insurance, you can observe more. With the rapid development of the global economy, the auto market will maintain high growth for decades. It has great potential, accounting for more than 60% of property insurance. It is possible that the current Hong Kong insurance industry generally does not pay attention to auto insurance. This is our opportunity!" ? Xia Yu ordered, and finally instructed Jason Gregg Jason Gregg was taken aback, a thought flashed in his eyes, and then nodded seriously: "Okay, boss!" ? "Okay, go ahead!" ? Dismissed Jason Gregg, Xia Yu let out a sigh of relief, a smile on his face. ? Soon! ? As long as Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Insurance, and Jiuding Securities integrate and form Jiuding Financial Group, Xia Yu will become the number one financial tycoon among the Chinese. ? And jumped to the fourth place in Hong Kong! ? In the Xiangjiang Financial Market, there are only three big mountains left over Jiuding Financial Group ? The first big mountain HSBC Bank! ? Hang Seng Bank, the second big mountain! ? Standard Chartered Bank, the third big mountain! ? The second Hang Seng Bank is also a subsidiary of HSBC. From this we can also see the power of HSBC. ? Although Standard Chartered is third, it still lags far behind the super giant HSBC. ? As for the Bank of China, one of the two giants in the later generations, its strength is not strong at this time. After all, in this year, the mainland does not have much money, and even less for the use of Bank of China. ? In addition, Xiangjiang Bank of China will also provide funds for China Resources and other state-owned enterprises. ? The real rise of Xiangjiang Bank of China will still be after the reform and opening up of the mainland. ? "The next day, I will climb the mountain, step by step, until I step on the HSBC Bank!" ? "Although it is very difficult, this is fun, isn''t it?" ? "Ha ha!" ? Thinking of the turbulent life in the future, Xia Yu suddenly laughed with a sense of fighting spirit. ? Chapter 427: More than 8000 flat mansion A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [ÁéÓòͼÊéÍø]https://fastest update! No ads! Two days later, Shen Bi reported to Xia Yu that all three companies were taken down. Xia Yu immediately went to HSBC for the handover. ? It took less than an hour for Xia Yu to sort out the business with HSBC. After signing the contract, the three hens who would only lay golden eggs, Dairy Milk Company, Jardine Motors Group, and Jinmen Construction Company, arrived at Xia Yu. in. ? When the company got it, Xia Yu did not deliberately speak out, but these companies were too big and too many employees. He went to these three companies to declare sovereignty, and the news inevitably leaked. ? This is incredible! ? The whole Xiangjiang was shaken, and many people were stunned by Xia Yu''s generous work. Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji and others immediately called Xia Yu to congratulate him. ? After that, Xia Yu could feel that many of the bigwigs who hunted the Yihe consortium were stimulated, or frightened by Xia Yu. The intensity of the battle suddenly rose to a notch, for fear that the company he wanted would be caused by others. Take away. ? For this situation, Xia Yu just smiled and ignored it. ? He no longer buys companies, but at best becomes a second-door dealer and earns a fee in the middle. ? In a short period of time, he has successively swallowed Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Wharf Group, Year of the Ox Company, Jardine Motors Group and Golden Gate Construction. His strength has expanded dramatically, and he must slow down and invest time and energy to rectify each The company is there, otherwise, what is the use of a company that cannot be controlled? ? The first thing to do is to integrate Dairy Farm and Golden Gate Construction with the Wharf Group. This is a huge project. The three companies are all established companies. After tens of hundreds of years, the situation inside is very complicated and not easy to integrate. ? In particular, Dairy Farm and Wharf Group are involved in many industries, unlike the construction industry which is relatively single in door construction. ? Therefore, Xia Yu must first firmly control the three companies, first make sure that the government orders are passed, and then understand the specific conditions of the three companies in detail, and make a detailed integration plan. The final step is to complete the integration. ? This is destined to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive fine work! ? But before that, Xia Yu still has to do a very important thing, that is moving! ? It is no longer appropriate to live in that kind of small house, and living in a community, with people coming and going, and the level of safety is relatively low after all. ? In terms of reception, in such a small house, the big guys came, they couldn''t be squeezed, and Xia Yu didn''t look good. ? Therefore, living conditions must be improved! ? Just when he was learning about the Wharf Group in detail, Xia Yu discovered that there was a built-up mansion under the group that has not yet been sold! ? Without any hesitation, Xia Yu took the best and largest building, number 008 by the sea mansion. ? The total area of ??the mansion is 88,000 feet, which is about 86 square meters in square meters. It has residential areas, large swimming pools, garden lawns, large garages, rockery fountains, etc., extremely luxurious! ? After visiting the site, Xia Yu was very satisfied, and then ordered the people to clean up and equip all living facilities within three days, and at the same time recruit nanny, housekeeper, gardener and other servants. ? Three days later, a string of black luxury cars drove to the door and stopped. The door opened and Xia Yu''s family walked out. ? What catches the eye is a large black iron gate full of heavy breath, 4.8 meters high. ? On the left and right sides of the gate, there are two stone lions with a height of 1.8 meters. ? On the marble pillars of the gate, two large dark gold characters appear very magnificent and noble. ? Summer House! ? Seeing the arrival of Xia Yu and others, two security personnel walked out of the security room behind the door and slowly opened the door. ? Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, looked at the siblings of the parents who were already dumbfounded, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and asked, "How do you feel?" ? "Brother, this is our home?" ? Xia Xiaomei blinked her big eyes and asked incredulously, her eyes filled with hope and longing. ? "A Yu, is this really our home?" ? When he heard his daughter''s words, Father Xia took the lead to recover, swallowing, and staring at his elder son Xia Yu, and asked dryly. ? "Didn''t that write about Xiafu? This is our home!" ? Xia Yu smiled and nodded, pointing to the two dark gold characters "Xia Mansion" on the pillar and said. ? "Wow, elder brother, you are amazing, stay home!" ? Xia Xiaomei jumped up cheering, her small face full of excitement and excitement. ? And the older brother Xia Ming flushed with excitement. ? As for the youngest Yanhong, even if this is not his home, he is still happy, after all, he will live here in the future. ? "Let''s go, the door is open, let''s drive the car into the garage first, and then take everyone around." ? After speaking, Xia Yu let his parents and others get in the car, and then the car drove into the garage according to Xia Yu''s instructions. ? On the way to the garage, Xia''s father and a few little guys had already rolled down the car windows and looked at the roadside scenery everywhere, full of curiosity about everything. ? I went to the garage and parked the car. A group of people first entered the residential area, and naturally they were calmed by the luxurious decoration and huge area inside, followed by a burst of exclamation and laughter. ? After arranging the room for everyone, seeing a few little guys eager to see the scenery outside, Xia Yu took his family and started walking around. It was Xia Yu who said that they were only responsible for surprise and cheers. ? Stopping and checking along the way, it took ten minutes for the mansion covering an area of ??more than 8,000 square meters to visit before returning to the residential area. ? The next step was to gather all the servants and security personnel, let everyone get to know each other, and then asked the nanny to cook lunch. After eating lunch, everyone went back and brought all the things they needed. ? After setting up his family, Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa to relax for a while, suddenly thinking of something, got the key, and went to the study. ? Xia Yu came to the two rows of bookcases, twisted a place on the right bookcase, then pulled the bookcase, and the bookcase with the slide rails immediately separated to the two sides, revealing a door with the same color as the wall. ? Once Xia Yu found the position, the metal piece was unscrewed, revealing a keyhole, Xia Yu inserted the key to open the door, and a downward staircase appeared. ? Turning on the light, Xia Yu walked down the stairs and soon reached the basement. ? The basement was also divided into five compartments, which added up to a total of about 280 square meters. Unfortunately, the basement room was empty and there was nothing. ? Standing in a room, looking at the clean walls and the empty surroundings, Xia Yu sighed and shook his head and exclaimed: "It looks like I have to take something to fill. In such a large basement, there is nothing, nothing. Look like." ? "In the future, this will be the treasure house of my Xia family. How can a wealthy family have no background? At that time, find a way to fill this place with antiques. It happens that this era is also the best time to collect antiques." ? "If the acquisition of antiques fills this place, it will be worth tens of billions of dollars after a few decades, hehe!" ? After staying in the basement for a while, Xia Yu returned to the study, restored everything to its original condition, and returned to the living room. ? Chapter 428: Finally no longer need to ask for it! In the hustle and bustle, half a month''s time is fleeting. For half a month, Xia Yu has been so busy, running back and forth between various companies, handling the affairs of each company. This made him urge the Wharf Group to redecorate the building as soon as possible, so that most of the companies can move to a headquarters building to facilitate his office work. While Xia Yu was busy with his company, the hunting battle of the Jardine Foundation gradually came to an end. The Hong Kong First British Group, the Jardine Consortium, which is also the largest consortium in East Asia other than the island countries, fell. What is left is the Keswick family, which appears to be one on the outside but is actually divided inside. Although it took only a month from start to finish, the giant consortium associated with more than 300 companies has fallen like a meteor. It is really embarrassing. After the embarrassment, it is infinite to the stock **** Xia Yu. In awe. The Jardine Consortium originally had more than 300 affiliated companies. Although it was said that the Keswick family was talking, there are actually many large and small families and shareholders. After hundreds of years, the Keswick family cannot be like Xia Yu, firmly controlling the company in hand. Coupled with continuous mergers and acquisitions, some new shareholders will naturally be introduced continuously, but these shareholders are basically distributed in various subsidiaries, and the three parent companies with small controls and large companies rarely have outsiders come in. After the fierce hunting by many predators, the Jardine consortium was torn to pieces. The Keswick family constantly cleaned up some small and medium-sized companies, or the equity of companies with no right to speak, and the money from selling stocks increased purposefully. Hold shares in some important companies. This is a kind of resource replacement, seeking self-protection. The companies that originally belonged to the core of the Jardine consortium, such as Jardine Shipping, Jardine Catering Group, and Yigao Property, have all been eaten up. As for those eaten by Xia Yu, let alone the core Xia Yu I look down on it. So in the end, the Keswick family retained a fully privatized Jardine Machine Group, a Jardine Real Estate Investment Company, and a 43% stake in Land Group. It has to be said that the Keswick family, which originally held more than 30% of the shares of the Land Group, has too much advantage, and even retained the controlling rights of the Land Group. Of course, the board of directors of the Land Group has almost changed, and many bigwigs have obtained a seat on the board of directors based on part of the equity in their hands. These bigwigs still don''t give up on the Land Group. Although they haven''t gotten it for the time being, as long as they enter the Land Group, they will always have a chance in the future. It is foreseeable that the future management of the Keswick family will be very difficult. They are surrounded by predatory crocodiles, and it is difficult for them to fight. In addition to these three large companies, the Keswick family has left more than a dozen companies. These companies are relatively small, but they are all companies that the Keswick family considers more promising. And these companies, the Keswick family have absolute controlling rights, as long as they do not go public and sell their shares, outsiders will never take them away. In this way, the companies that the Keswick family still controls are less than 20 large and small. Compared with the holding of more than 100 at the peak and more than 200 related companies, the gap is too big. So the Jardine consortium actually exists in name only, and some of them are the Keswick family. However, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. Even so, the overall strength of the Keswick family surpasses the Wheelock consortium. After all, the Keswick family also controls the giant of the Land Group! The rankings of the four major British powers have changed, and the Swire Consortium, which was originally only weakened by the Jardine Consortium, reached the top. Hutchison Whampoa, whose strength is two-thirds of the Swire Consortium, ranks second. The Keswick family occupies the third place, and the complex is equivalent to about half of the Swire Consortium. Finally, the four-year-old Wheelock Consortium, whose strength is similar to that of the Keswick family, is equivalent to about two-fifths of the Swire Consortium. Although such a ranking is based on comprehensive strength, if calculated based on combat power and influence, the Keswick family is definitely the last one! Not only has it become a laughingstock, but the family can''t be integrated. There are still some people outside. How can they be strong? Unless one day, the Keswick family re-emerges with an arbitrary iron-fisted patriarch, there may still be a glimmer of hope for rise. ... The war came to an end, the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, licking the wound, licking the wound, it was time to digest, the stock market gradually returned to stability, and the small and medium-sized institutions that were originally clinging began to appear. Left a group of people who eat melons are still unfulfilled, and they recall the past in twos and threes. Just as the dark clouds covering the Xiangjiang River gradually dissipated, a news broke out suddenly, like dropping a missile in a peaceful lake, blowing up the peaceful lake water continuously. Early in the morning, Jiayi TV suddenly issued a statement announcing that it would stop operations due to financial difficulties, and posted a notice outside the headquarters to indicate that Jiashi would stop broadcasting from that day. Jiayi TV station has stopped broadcasting! This also means that bankruptcy is in the near future! Although a lot of money has been consumed because of changes in the organization of Jiayi TV, many people have speculated that Jiayi will decline. But afterwards, Jiayi TV station brought in the capital of the Lin family from He Zuozhi, making Jiayi look okay for the time being, and even set off a "July Offensive", which made TVB very vigilant. It''s a pity that doing business still depends on hard power after all. The "July Offensive" did not achieve the effect, and the Lin family finally disappointed that they stopped injecting capital. The last blood vessel that had been renewed slammed into a smash. This naturally killed Jiayi TV! After all, Jiayi TV Station is one of the three major stations, and it has a brilliant past record and has made a reputation. This year, it has launched "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", "Crane Needle", "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Golden Sword Love". The TV series watched have strong influence both inside and outside the circle. So when this closure statement came out, people in both the media and entertainment circles were shocked and asked about the news. Jiayi TV¡¯s old rivals, TVB, and Li¡¯s TV station also learned the news for the first time. Different from Shao Yifu''s shock, Huang Xizhao secretly admires the foresight of the boss Xia Yu, and Jiayi TV is going to close down just like the boss analyzed. This means that their beautiful TV station finally doesn''t have to go for it! It''s time to do it! Li''s TV station is going to be reborn from the ashes, soaring into the sky! Huang Xizhao, who was so excited, immediately ordered people to call the senior management to the conference room for a meeting, and then dialed the number of the boss Xia Yu. Not long after, Huang Xizhao, who had been ordered by the boss, went into the large conference room with high spirits. At this time, a group of senior leaders of Li¡¯s TV station, Mai Danxiong and other "Li¡¯s Three Heroes", and deputy general manager Zhong Jinhui planning Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming and others are already sitting in their respective positions. With a smile on his face, he obviously knew the statement of Jiayi TV. Seeing Huang Xizhao, who was full of red light, walked in, everyone didn''t think much about it, thinking that he was just like them, happy that he was missing an opponent. It¡¯s normal to think this way. After all, over the years, Li¡¯s TV station has put on a stingy and incompetent British daddy who has to face the competition between the big local tyrant Jiashi and the old overlord wireless. Whoever is the most stressed is Huang Xizhao. . "Old Huang, today is really a good day, haha!" Deputy General Manager Zhong Jinhui said to Huang Xizhao with a smile. "Yeah, it''s definitely a good day!" Huang Xizhao''s smile couldn''t be concealed at all, and nodded in agreement, with excitement in his words. "Okay, time is urgent, calling everyone to the meeting, there is a big thing to say!" As soon as she sat down, Huang Xizhao couldn''t wait to speak loudly. Hearing this, and seeing Huang Xizhao who was a little too gaffe, everyone was curious and looked at him with all eyes. "After holding back for more than a month, now Jiayi is finally about to fall, it''s time for us to break out!" "I just called the boss!" After Huang Xizhao finished speaking the first sentence, Zhong Jinhui wanted to speak, but when he heard Huang Xizhao''s second sentence, he swallowed it back, staring at Huang Xizhao with wide eyes, and blurted out: "The boss is coming. ?" "boss?!" The others also opened their eyes wide, staring at Huang Xizhao closely, and breathing quickly. Is this mysterious boss who gave Huang Xizhao infinite confidence finally showing up? Huang Xizhao took a deep breath and glanced across everyone''s curious faces. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 429: Reis stirring situation "Our boss, you have all heard of it, that is the stock **** Xia Yu!" Huang Xizhao''s heart was agitated, and she shouted with confidence. After speaking, she grinned and looked at Zhong Jinhui and others expectantly. "What? The stock **** is our boss?" With a sound of "àë", Zhong Jinhui stood up directly in shock, staring at Huang Xizhao steadily, wanting to know if he was joking. "Lao Huang, you didn''t lie to us? The stock **** is really our boss?" "Yeah, Lao Huang, don''t joke with me!" Xiao Ruoyuan, Mai Danxiong and others couldn''t wait to ask. Although they were extremely excited, they were afraid that Huang Xizhao was joking. Seeing such a big reaction from the crowd, Huang Xizhao smiled, nodded firmly, and said forcefully: "This is absolutely true, what am I doing to you? The boss will come over this morning. Don''t you know?" "Okay, hahahaha!" "Great, the stock **** turned out to be our boss, we are finally going to turn over!" "JiaTV is over. I am still worried that we will be targeted by wireless. Now that we have a stock god, we can kill wireless with money!" "I think Shao Laoliu can still be arrogant, hehe!" Once Huang Xizhao''s affirmation was obtained, everyone could no longer restrain them. Some laughed loudly, and some excitedly spoke incoherently. It seemed that the depression accumulated in the past few years was wiped out at this moment. Just feel that the future is bright! Over the years, they have suffered a lot. In the final analysis, they do not have a strong backing. They are desperate to increase ratings to make money, and they are also sucked blood by the parent company every year, while Jiashi and Wireless continue to invest money. This pressure can be imagined. And know. What''s more, the two heads of Li''s TV station, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinhui, have all switched jobs from wireless, and there are also some high-level leaders. Jiashi is full of talents, which means they have no retreat. If Li is finished, they will lose their jobs and the pressure is greater than the others. It''s finally all right now, and I can see Yueming. No one in the entire Xiangjiang knows the great handwork and power of the stock god, Xia Yu became the boss, first of all, wireless will absolutely not dare to make any other tricks, and can only fight hard. In the past, Li was able to fight with wireless stubbornly without money, but now the backer is a rich and powerful stock god, rich and powerful, but I am afraid that his wireless will not succeed! Huang Xizhao sat at the top, smiling as they watched everyone celebrating, and once again thanked Xia Yu as their boss. "Flap!" "Everyone, be quiet!" After a while, seeing that it was almost done, Huang Xizhao applauded to calm everyone down, and everyone was seated again, looking at Huang Xizhao, wanting to know what the boss he was about to convey. "The boss just gave the order, let us hurry up the arrangement in the morning, hold a press conference, announce the news to the outside world, he will be there in person at that time, everyone must not lose the chain!" Huang Xizhao said solemnly. Everyone nodded immediately, their faces very serious. Knowing that the boss is coming, everyone will pay attention without Huang Xizhao''s reminder. After all, this is the first time the boss has come. For the sake of his future, he must make a good first impression. "Also, I arranged for everyone to go digging people. It¡¯s been so long. It¡¯s time to do it. Arrange and let them notify the target audience. We will watch our program at 11 o¡¯clock. Our press conference will be broadcast live. They know that our boss is the queen of stocks, and there will definitely be many people who will dispel their worries. We must take advantage of this excellent opportunity!" Huang Xizhao ordered again. "Okay! I''ll arrange it right away!" "If you know that the stock **** is the boss, I think no one will refuse!" The others responded immediately, expectant and relaxed smiles on their faces. At the same time, I secretly told myself that if you want to find a way to dig more people, since this digging order is given by the boss, you will definitely pay attention to it. If there are more people digging, you will naturally stand out. These are the manifestations of ability! A strong guarantee for a good impression in front of the boss! "Time is urgent, I hope you all work hard!" "I announce that the meeting is over!" After Huang Xizhao''s announcement, everyone stood up and walked outside, each stepping faster than one. Seeing everyone''s performance, Huang Xizhao smiled and looked forward to the future. "I''m going to set up a press conference too, and some people will also be notified. Be sure to dig them over!" Huang Xizhao muttered to herself, a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes, and her fists clenched unconsciously. After thinking about it, he stood up and left the meeting room quickly. Soon, the staff of Li''s TV station called all the media, inviting them to enter the venue before ten thirty in the morning and hold a press conference on time at eleven. As soon as the news of Li''s TV station came out, the media that had been turbulent because of Jiayi TV''s announcement of the suspension of broadcasting became even more uncertain. At the critical moment, Li''s TV station, which had been immersed in it, turned out to be uncharacteristically and jumped out to hold a press conference. What is it doing? It happened that after Jiayi TV station announced the suspension of broadcasting, it started immediately. It revealed an unusual aura. Everyone with a discerning eye speculated that this is definitely not a small matter, but I don¡¯t know if Jiashi will change so much? I can''t think of it, the best way is to watch it live. Therefore, the major media that received the invitation immediately dispatched, wanting to arrive early and strive for a good position. In the morning, two of the three major television stations in Hong Kong had major events to happen, leaving the TVB station alone. But at this time, how can TVB stand out? Jiashi ceases to broadcast The pattern of the original TV circle will change. The ratings belonging to Jiashi will be eaten by wireless and Li. How much you can eat depends on their own skills. However, according to normal circumstances, Li''s will not be a rival of Wireless, and most of the cake that originally belonged to Jiashi will be eaten by Wireless. How to compete as much as possible for the audience share, which requires careful discussion. To this end, the TVB board of directors immediately convened a board meeting. Li Xiaohe, who holds the most shares, is the chairman of the board of directors. The other two founders of TVB, Qi Dezun and Shao Yifu, are directors. Qi Dezun has no energy to take care of it and serves as a temporary director. Shao Yifu is the second-in-command in real power and concurrently as the executive chairman. His main responsibilities or powers include appointing and dismissing managers, implementing board resolutions, presiding over the company''s daily business activities, and signing contracts or handling business with the authorization of the board of directors. However, due to Li Xiaohe''s health over the years, he has rarely left the Li family. The main affairs are taken care of by his wife Li Lu Yanqun. Almost every TVB meeting is hosted by Li Lu Yanqun. Li Lu Yanqun pays more attention to the real estate and industrial industries, and is more difficult to grasp the volatile media industry. Therefore, over the years, the power has been gradually delegated to Shao Yifu. Some have retreated to the second line and left the TV station to the powerful Shao Yifu. idea. In addition to the three founder directors, the wireless board of directors also introduced two Xiangjiang tycoons as directors, and the board of directors became five. Just as the radio urgently convened a board meeting, the news that Li''s TV station was about to hold a press conference became more and more widespread, and many people inside and outside the circle knew about it. Breath of trouble! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ ~: , Finally there is a leader! A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [ÁéÓòͼÊéÍø]https://fastest update! No ads! This week was really beyond my expectation. I was a thin-skinned person. Apart from asking for a reward on the shelf, I didn¡¯t ask for it. I asked for votes. In addition, I didn¡¯t write very well and it was more unstable, so Usually there is no reward for a week, and occasionally a reward of one or two hundred dollars can be enjoyed for a while. But this week, the number of rewards reached 22, which was beyond my expectation. I am very grateful to my old friends for their support! Then this afternoon, I just sorted out the outline and settings, and when I entered the backstage, I found the Silver League to give a reward.

At the same time, I would like to thank all my brothers and sisters who have supported me, rewarded, subscribed, voted, and enlightened me since I published the book. Huang wishes everyone a healthy Eucharist, a happy family, a smooth job, and a better life. Learning progress, everything goes well! Chapter 430: Dig the foot of the wall The suspension of Jiashi has caused a great sensation in the outside world, but it is the employees of Jiashi that have the greatest impact. The high-level employees have known the situation a long time ago, but the middle and low-level employees who only knew the situation suddenly felt panic. The entire company was in turmoil. The first reaction of many people was that their jobs could not be kept, and the second reaction was the wages owed. How to do? Some employees who are familiar with the bad situation of the company are even prepared in their hearts. If the company can''t give everyone an explanation, they can apply to the court to wind up Jiashi and make up for some losses. Of course, those who have these concerns are those who have nowhere to go. Those elites within Jiashi are not panicked, but are more emotional. Because of their abilities and reputation, they are not worried about finding food, even if they don¡¯t want to dig their TV station, they can still apply for jobs wirelessly. Xu Xie is such a person who is listed as a key target by Li''s, but is still hesitating. In order to facilitate work, Xu Xie rented a house near Jiashi, because he was behind the scenes, and also a director, with a lot of freedom, and he happened to be at home at this time. After knowing that Jiashi had stopped broadcasting, Xu Xie sat on the sofa without speaking for a long time, and his whole body was in a trance. "Ring Ling Ling!" At this moment, the phone rang, and Xu Meng regained his senses and connected the phone casually. "Hello, who?" "..." "Hello, Mr. Huang, I didn''t expect it to be your phone number. What a surprise!" When he heard Huang Xizhao''s voice on the other end of the phone, Xu Meng immediately woke up and said politely. "...Okay, I will definitely consider it carefully, thank you for your approval... 11 o''clock in the morning? Okay, I will definitely watch it..." After hanging up the phone, Xu Miao frowned, trying to figure out Huang Xizhao''s intentions. Before Huang Xizhao wanted to dig him, the backbone director of Jiashi, but he was also poached by Jiashi this year. The "July Offensive" set off some time ago was his "Golden Sword Lover" as the main force. At that time, in the face of Huang Xizhao''s wooing, Xu Xie could only smile and decline, so as to be neither guilty nor close. It''s just that Jiashi has stopped broadcasting now, and his time at Jiashi can count down. As a young director who is only famous in the field of TV dramas, he must continue to make films to improve his ability. In Xiangjiang, Li''s and Wireless are the only places to go. Although Li''s is not as good as wireless, but he values ??him, President Huang Xizhao personally come to dig him, if he passes, the treatment will not be too bad. But Li''s has a shortcoming, that is, the capital is at the bottom of the three TV stations. If he wants to make a film, the capital will be tight and he will be restrained. Wireless did not contact him, and with the famous shao Laoliu of Wireless, even if he went, it is estimated that life will not be easy. In addition to going to these two TV stations to make TV shows, another place for him is to make movies. But he is only 28 years old this year, and he has never made a movie. Which boss would ask him to make a movie? He couldn''t make a big investment himself. "It seems that going to Li is a relatively better choice." "But I have been refusing before, and now I''m so embarrassed that I will be worshipped as soon as I come." "Presumably wireless should not be indifferent to those of us. Let''s take a look at wireless''s bargaining chips first, and then we might have a better treatment." Xu Meng pondered secretly, and was initially determined to be sold. "By the way, Huang Xizhao asked me to watch Li''s news at eleven o''clock. Listening to his tone just now, it seems that something is going on? I was in a hurry to speak and hung up after a while." "I want to see what is going on..." After thinking about it, Xu Meng turned on the TV, tuned to the channel of Li''s TV station, then pressed mute, lowered his head and took out a book to sculpt. Huang Xizhao is not in a hurry to dig people. He knows that the best time is after the press conference is over. The most important thing now is to let those who want to dig know that Li''s boss is about to fly. Huang Xizhao is confident that after the press conference, Li''s will become a dazzling plane tree. Not to mention little sparrows, even phoenixes can be recruited. He does not believe in Jiashi''s employees who will not have a place to stay. Under this consideration, he notified all the people he wanted to dig and asked them to watch the live broadcast at 11 o''clock. Not only Huang Xizhao, but other employees of Li''s TV station who had the task of digging people all moved, and tried every means to notify the people who wanted to dig and let them watch the news. Jiashi¡¯s master Huadan, such as Mi Yue, Wei Qiuhua, Wen Xueer, Yang Panpan, Zheng Yuling, etc. Xiaosheng such as Bai Biao, Luo Lelin, Chen Qiang and so on. Famous supporting actors such as Qin Huang, Yang Zelin, Liu Dan, Liu Jiang, Zheng Lei, etc. There are also those behind-the-scenes talents, such as the five "Six Gentlemen of Good Vision" besides Zhou Liang Shuyi, as well as Lin Lingdong, Liang Fengyi, Xiao Sheng, Wu Weiguo, Lin Yanni and others. As long as they are considered talented, they are listed as mining targets by Li''s. With Xia Yu''s instructions, Huang Xizhao is not worried that the company cannot support so many people. Just dig in! If these people can be dug out by Li''s, then Jiashi will be left with an empty shell, and the remaining low-level personnel will be swarmed by Li''s announcement. Rei''s big moves, and they didn''t cover up at all, of course, it was inevitably known by the top management of Jiashi. But they can''t help it if they know, because they can''t protect themselves, and some high-level people are the targets of being dug, let alone who. In this noisy and complicated atmosphere, the press conference of Lai''s TV station has been set up, all invited guests have entered the venue, the live broadcast has begun, and the host has begun to warm up. The news from the news reporter was well-informed. After a while, there was a commotion off the court, because a certain news came out and someone saw the stock **** Xia Yu enter Li''s TV station from a distance. This news aroused the endless reverie of these reporters. Recalling what Xia Yu did before, buying companies everywhere, Li''s acquisition is not impossible. With this idea ~ www.novelhall.com~ all invited reporters are excited and look forward to the press conference to start quickly. Even the idea of ??admiring the beautiful host just now disappeared, but she was too long-winded. In the background, all the high-level staff were in place at this time, and a group of people carefully accompany Xia Yu. Outside, there were more middle- and low-level personnel with red faces, always looking at Xia Yu. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu looked very amiable. Hearing Huang Xizhao''s detailed account, he nodded from time to time and occasionally said a few comments, which made the people commented very excited. "The time is almost here, is it time for us to play?" Seeing the lady emcee coming in and looking at herself with a hesitant expression, Xia Yu looked at her watch and asked Huang Xizhao. "Yes, boss, I let them go out first, you will be the last one!" Huang Xizhao said respectfully, and then gestured to Mai Danxiong. Mai Danxiong immediately nodded understandingly, before finishing his clothes and walking towards the outside. Chapter 431: Domineeringly put up a finger "Let''s have us please, dear stock god, Mr. Xia Yu to play!" As the hostess''s light and tactful words fell, the entire press conference scene suddenly rioted. The reporters in the audience all raised their guns, tiptoes, and looked up to where they were on stage. "Wow!" "It''s really a stock god, I''m going to post today!" "Sure enough, it''s a big deal. Stockshen doesn''t easily attend the press conference. The previous few times were all about acquisitions. This time it must be!" "Li''s changed ownership! Jiashi stopped broadcasting, Li''s changed ownership immediately, the two TV stations changed, and Xiangjiang''s television circle was earthquake!" ... As Xia Yu walked out confidently, everyone was in an uproar. They were so upset that they didn''t care that this was the live broadcast of the press conference. They all talked and expressed their feelings. In front of the TV, many of the best TV staff who were notified to watch the news were shocked. For example, Xu Meng was stunned when he saw Xia Yu appear on the stage, and then immediately put down the pen in his hand, turned up the volume of the TV, and stared at the TV screen tightly for fear of missing any information. When seeing Huang Xizhao pulling out a stool for Xia Yu respectfully and asking Xia Yu to sit in the middle of the rostrum, while he himself was sitting on Xia Yu''s left hand, Xu Xie couldn''t help swallowing. Huang Xizhao Xia Yu glanced, Xia Yu nodded slightly and gave him a sure look. Huang Xizhao understood, raised her head and chest, took a deep breath, with a confident smile on her face, and said loudly: "I am very pleased to participate in our company''s press conference. Here, on behalf of the company, I extend my sincere thanks to everyone! " "Papa Papa..." As soon as Huang Xizhao''s voice fell, loud applause suddenly sounded from the audience. Huang Xizhao smiled and greeted him, and then said: "This press conference will have three processes. The first process is for me to announce a message, the second process is to invite Xia Sheng to speak, and the last process is to ask questions." "Let¡¯s start the first process!" "Suck!" "it has started!" "Really been waiting!" "Stop talking, be quiet!" Seeing the long-awaited topic coming, the people below immediately held their breath and looked at Huang Xizhao intently. "Now I am announcing to you that the voice of Li''s parent company, Li''s TV station, has cleared all the equity and exited. Mr. Xia Yu sitting next to me is the only boss of our company!" "Papa Papa!" After that, Huang Xizhao took the lead in applauding. Everyone sitting on the rostrum applauded vigorously. The reporters off the field also applauded. At the same time, there was a commotion below, with exclamations one after another. Some reporters couldn''t help but feel excited. The camera pointed at Xia Yu and asked: "Xia Sheng, when did you buy Li''s TV station?" "Xia Sheng, how much did you spend?" "Xia Sheng..." One reporter took the lead and did not follow the process to ask questions. Other reporters immediately followed and rushed to ask questions. Seeing some chaos in the venue, the security immediately opened his hands to form a warning circle, forcing everyone to return to their original positions. Huang Xizhao''s expression became even more serious. He took a peek at the boss next to him and he secretly let out a sigh of relief when he noticed that he was still smiling, but he still shouted, "Please keep quiet, not the third one. Process, we will not answer your questions!" "If the order of the venue is disrupted again, the security will ask him out directly!" Hearing this, the security guard''s attitude became more cold, and the reporters immediately calmed down. Although they were too anxious, they were afraid that Huang Xizhao would do what he said. If they were invited out, they would be finished and their jobs would be lost. "Next, we invite our respected boss, Mr. Xia Yu, to give a speech. Welcome!" "Papa..." "First of all, thank you all for your support. Next, I will tell you a few words, not only to tell you, but also to tell the staff of the TV station and the practitioners of the Hong Kong film and television industry. "Everyone has to show their love. I was given the title of a media tycoon before, which made me a little scared. After all, the media industry is so big, I have achieved a little bit in the paper media." "At that time, I was thinking, in order not to let everyone down, why should I take this name seriously and not slap everyone in the face, right?" "Haha!" Hearing this, there was a lot of kind laughter off the court. Many people didn''t skimp on film and took pictures continuously. They didn''t expect that the aloof stock **** was so kind and humorous, which made them feel good about Xia Yu. "The TV station is the pearl of the media industry, so I thought at the time, I must win a TV station and do what I think. No, I accidentally became the boss of Li''s TV station!" "I have a characteristic in doing things. I either don''t do it or do my best!" "Li''s TV station has many shortcomings, resulting in a need to improve competitiveness." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, raised his hand, raised his index finger, and said forcefully: "So next, I will invest at least 100 million yuan to improve the strength of the TV station in all aspects, without capping, until it reaches me. Until the desired result!" "Snapshot, so domineering!" "One hundred million, worthy of being the big guy among big guys, too domineering!" "The stock **** is mighty!" "Tomorrow''s front page is here!" Click! Click! The audience seemed to be stunned by Xia Yu''s words. At first, it was quiet for three seconds, and then all the reporters went crazy, pressing the shutter quickly, and murmuring incessantly, venting the horror in his heart. Not only the reporter, but even Huang Xizhao and other high-level officials on the stage opened their eyes wide, and looked at Feng Qingyun''s boss who was holding a finger in shock. His eyes were hot and his face flushed with excitement. Xia Yu ignored everyone¡¯s reaction and continued: ¡°Here, I also extend invitations to all professionals in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang. I will not refuse talented and beautiful TV stations. This is definitely a spacious and gorgeous stage. There is enough space to display your talents, you can''t miss this opportunity, I look forward to your joining!" "Papa..." As soon as Xia Yu''s words fell, Huang Xizhao and the others immediately applauded fiercely, very excited. They did not expect that the boss would domineeringly issue a recruitment order to all of Hong Kong at the press conference. This is their greatest support. With the boss''s promise, they don''t believe those people can''t dig! ... Hearing Xia Yu''s arrogant words, Xu Miao stood up, his heart could not calm down at all, walking back and forth in the living room, looking at the TV screen from time to time, and seeing Xia Yu''s figure. "Unexpectedly, Li''s TV station changed its boss. It was the stock **** Xia Yu. The stock **** also promised to use at least 100 million yuan to upgrade the TV station of Li''s. Li''s really turned over! "Now the stock **** is facing the whole Hong Kong to openly recruit talents. You don''t need to think about it. Candidates will come in like a flood, and I can''t wait for the price." "However, Li''s has a strong presence and strong capital. The shortcomings of Li''s TV station have been solved. Wireless is definitely not as good as Li''s." "Li''s is my best place to go. If it''s late and is preempted by others, there will definitely be fewer resources!" "Can''t wait any longer, act now!" After thinking about it, Xu Meng immediately packed his things and prepared to set off for Li¡¯s TV station. After the news conference of Li¡¯s TV station, he went to pre-sign the contract. As for what he said before that it was easy to be ashamed to promise too soon, he had already selectively forgotten by this time. There were many other reactions that were the same as Xu Wei. After all, the employees of Jiashi who were notified were basically watching the press conference of Li''s TV station, and nothing could not be shocked. Everyone knows that the rise of Rei is right in front of them, the sooner you join, the better, so these people have started to take action. Chapter 432: 2 sessions Wireless TV station, small meeting room. There were five people sitting at a small long table. On the top was Li Lu Yanqun, Shao Yifu and Hu Zhanxing on the left, Qi Dezun and Jones Brick on the right. Although there are five directors, in fact Hu Zhanxing and Jones Brick are ordinary directors holding about 5% of the shares, and they do not interfere with the company''s operations. Li Lu Yanqun and Shao Yifu generally make up their minds, and Qi Dezun occasionally makes suggestions. In the meeting room at this time, the atmosphere was relaxed and lively. Obviously, Jiashi¡¯s suspension made everyone feel good. In the meeting just now, the topic of discussion was how wireless can get the most benefit from Jiashi''s fall. After some discussion, several points were clarified: one is to recruit valuable people from Jiashi; the other is to adjust the strategy and set a policy to suppress Li''s TV station; and the third is to invest all profits in the company without dividends this year. , Shoot a few more major dramas, grab more ratings and stabilize. "Since it''s decided, then Uncle Six, I will trouble you to work harder!" Li Lu Yanqun said with a smile on his face. "Yes! Madam Lee, don''t worry!" Shao Yifu smiled and nodded slowly. I subconsciously looked at the time, and it was even early eleven o''clock. Shao Yifu thought that Li''s seemed to be holding a press conference. Everyone happened to be here. By the way, let''s see what they are doing. "By the way, Li''s should be holding a press conference now. I don''t know if they can make a big deal. Would you like to see it?" Shao Yifu said in a questioning tone. Hu Zhanxing and Jones Brick didn''t know the news, and they became curious when they heard Shao Yifu say this. Li Lu Yanqun raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, know yourself, know your opponents in a hundred battles, and see what big moves they have. It''s worth holding a press conference." Seeing that everyone agreed, Shao Yifu stood up with a smile, walked to the desk in the meeting room, turned on the TV, and tuned to the Hong Kong channel of Li''s TV station. At exactly this moment, a picture of Xia Yu holding up a finger appeared on the TV screen and his sentence that shocked the whole Hong Kong: "So next, I will invest at least 100 million yuan to improve the strength of the TV station in all aspects, without capping, until I achieve the result I want!" The sudden appearance of these words made the entire conference room quiet for a moment, and the smiles on everyone''s faces froze. Shao Yifu, who has not yet returned to his seat, felt heavy in an instant, and his hand holding the remote control unconsciously used force. Everyone didn''t speak. Although they felt heavy, they knew what was more important, so they all looked at the TV screen intently. It was not until the press conference was over that Shao Yifu turned off the TV and returned to his seat. For a while, the conference room was full of heavy auras, and it seemed that a large mountain appeared out of nowhere to press on them. Finally, as the chairman of the board, Li Lu Yanqun spoke. She found that everyone''s faces were solemn, and she sighed secretly and said, "Everyone should express their opinions. What should we do now?" "We are in trouble. As soon as Jiayi fell, we met Li who was richer than Jiayi. Li¡¯s group of people is not bad at all. The biggest shortcoming is that there is no capital, but if Xia Yu really invested the least If one billion goes in, it will be difficult for us to suppress Li''s in a short time!" Shao Yifu slowly said, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. Just simmering Jiashi to death, he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn''t expect Li to become a big boss in an instant. With the shortcomings of capital, Li''s combat effectiveness will definitely be improved by several grades, so it can be expected that the next days will be very difficult. The plan previously formulated in front of Xia Yu''s 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough! "There are still talents. Now Xia Yu is open to recruiting all over Hong Kong. It is clear that he is looking for Jiashi, but it will also cause turbulence in our company and must be stabilized." Qi Dezun said with a slight solemn expression. He didn''t expect that he hadn''t clashed with Xia Yu in the capital market, but would fight Xia Yu in the TV field. He knew that Xia Yu was not easy to mess with. The public recruitment statement on TV just now proved it. It can be seen that Xia Yu is going for the talents of Jiashi, but he is not limited to Jiashi, but for the whole of Hong Kong. Before the TVB was deliberately targeted, the hearts of the TVB were turbulent. "Yes, Li''s is rich. If they are allowed to swallow Jiashi''s talents, then we will fight. Essentially, we will fight two TV stations. We can''t let Li''s dig everyone over. To dig!" Hu Zhanxing, one of the erhus in Hong Kong, proposed with a solemn expression. ... For the time being, regardless of how the wireless executives were troubled, let alone Xia Yu and others, after ending the press conference, Xia Yu also held the first high-level meeting hosted by him. In the small meeting room, the place originally belonged to Huang Xizhao was occupied by Xia Yu. Huang Xizhao sat on Xia Yu''s left hand side, and the other people''s positions were pushed back one place. Looking across the faces of all the high-levels who were sitting in danger, Xia Yu smiled slightly and nodded slightly. "You are in good spirits!" Hearing Xia Yu''s collective praise, everyone smiled. "Before the meeting, introduce yourself, I don''t know everyone yet!" "Xizhao, starting from you, give you a sample!" Xia Yu said, looked at Huang Xizhao on the left, and whispered. "Okay, boss!" "My name is Huang Xizhao and I am currently the general manager of the TV station..." "Dear boss, my name is Zhong Jinhui. I currently serve as the deputy general manager of the TV station, in charge of personnel, logistics, and artist training for Li..." ... "Dear boss, my name is Mai Danxiong, and I am currently a program planner..." ... Xia Yu was strong in his memory. After everyone introduced himself, he wrote down each person''s name, characteristics and position. "Very good, they are all top talents. No wonder they can compete with the other two TV stations under difficult conditions!" "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Everyone smiled and humbly said Xia Yu smiled slightly, and then said: "Now start to arrange work, everyone pay attention to it." As soon as the voice fell, everyone subconsciously sat down, took their pens and opened the notebook, ready to record. "First of all, the personnel arrangements!" "The reality has proven that your abilities are good, so there won''t be much adjustments. The positions of Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinhui remain unchanged!" As soon as these words fell, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinhui were overjoyed, and their hanging hearts were let go. No one else raised their hearts and looked at Xia Yu intently. "Others will sit in their original positions first, and will make appropriate adjustments based on your performance in the following time." As he said, Xia Yu''s gaze swept across the faces of others, and Mai Danxiong and the others dazzled and nodded solemnly. 8) Chapter 433: The foundation of the rise of Universal Television "The second task is about the reform of the TV station!" "I don''t like the name of Li''s TV station. It was renamed Universal TV Station. The most basic goal is to cover the world and provide diversified TV programs to Chinese people all over the world. The long-term goal is to provide TV programs to the world." "According to the existing TV channels, change to Global Local Channel, Global International Chinese Channel, and Global International English Channel. Later, we will add channels according to the situation and how to adjust the design. We will meet later to discuss and come up with a practical The plan comes out." "Xizhao will be responsible for these tasks. After the logo is designed, I will review it." "understand!" Huang Xizhao solemnly responded, and the pen in his hand quickly recorded, but in his heart he was shocked by the boss''s goal, and there was a feeling of enthusiasm all over. "Next comes the personnel and logistics aspects." Hearing this, Zhong Jinhui raised his concentration again, because he was in charge of this one. "The talents of Jiashi will try their best to find them for me. As long as they are talented, they will not refuse to come, and wireless people will also need to change jobs. Don''t worry that the company can''t afford it. I don''t need money to raise people!" "The development of Global TV Station needs a steady stream of talents. There are far from enough talents now. The talent strategy is the company''s long-term basic strategy. Remember!" "What I said at the press conference is not empty talk. I will invest at least 100 million yuan to transform the TV station in all aspects, including the expansion and reconstruction of the film and television base, clothing equipment and other hardware, and strive to turn our programs into boutiques. " "These tasks are led by Jin Hui, and others must cooperate." "Jin Hui, you have to come up with a plan as soon as possible, the pressure is relatively high, but I believe you can complete it!" Seeing the boss Xia Yu looking at him, Zhong Jinhui was happy but also felt heavy pressure. He took a deep breath and solemnly nodded and said, "Understand! I will not let you down!" "Next is the reform of the company''s various systems. I will set the tone first. You must implement it." Xia Yu said with a serious expression and said solemnly. The next system, if it can be implemented, will be a strong guarantee for the long-term prosperity of the TV station. "The company has added two new departments, the planning department and the screenwriting department." "Mai Danxiong, Li Zhaoxiong, and Tu Yongxiong, the three of you are all included in the planning department. The planning of future TV shows will be discussed in the planning department." "Xiao Ruoyuan and Xu Xiaoming, the two of you are in the screenwriting department. I know that many previous TV shows did not have a complete script. They were all freely played by the director or written while filming. This would not work. The script is the soul of a TV series. Before a TV series, a complete script must be produced. When the director makes a TV series, he must strictly follow the script." "Of course, for every script of a TV series, the director can temporarily join the screenwriting department and write the script together." Seeing that although Mai Danxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan and others nodded, their expressions were a bit complicated, Xia Yu knew that they were worried that their rights and freedom were declining. He explained: "I know this will restrict everyone, but as the saying goes, the three heads have beaten Zhuge Liang. It is undeniable that you can be inspired sometimes, but this probability is very low. The TV station needs to operate. It¡¯s about progress in stability, not gambling-style development." "In the future, the entry standards of the planning department and the screenwriting department will be very strict, and there must be demonstrable results. After the recognition of me and Huang Xizhao, I believe that with the brainstorming of a group of elites, any planning and script can be achieved. It may be perfect, the company¡¯s returns will be higher, and your bonus will be higher." "Later, I will come up with a rigorous reward plan. According to the ratings of programs and TV series, rewards of different grades will be given. The rewards will be divided by all participants, and the specific points will be based on each person¡¯s contribution. The division will be fair and just, and you will definitely get more money than now!" "But how much you can get depends on how well you can do things together!" "Understand?" Xia Yu raised the volume and glanced over Xiao Ruoyuan and others. "Understood, thank you boss!" "We will not let you down!" Xiao Ruoyuan and the others nodded happily, only feeling that they were full of motivation. They didn''t expect the boss to have such an idea. Screenwriters and planners could get bonuses based on ratings. What''s the difference between this and show dividends? The position of screenwriters in Xiangjiang is very embarrassing. Many directors don''t need screenwriters to make films. They just look at free play wherever they want to shoot. The screenwriter does not know the importance of a good script, as evidenced by the big Hollywood movies. But there is no way. The situation in different places is different, and the status of the screenwriter of Hong Kong is low. The TV drama industry is okay, and the screenwriters in the film industry are the most embarrassed. A script can sell for several thousand Hong Kong dollars. It''s like now, the boss promised to get a share of the program income, which greatly improved the screenwriter''s position in the film and television industry. If this system is spread, the entire Xiangjiang screenwriter will definitely be grateful to Xia Yu and regard Universal Television as a holy land. Not only Xiao Ruoyuan and Xu Xiaoming, who are screenwriters, but also the planning trio such as Mai Danxiong were also very excited. The boss gave a clear promise. Their motivation for fighting was completely different. They all secretly decided to do their best to do more excellent shows. Plan and strive to get more bonuses. "The fourth task is about the reorganization of TV station personnel." "In addition to the basic staff, our TV station also has many artists and industry practitioners. The current management system is very backward and does not maximize the commercial value of artists." "Jin Hui, I''m not talking about you, you don''t have to blame yourself, the entire artist management system of Xiangjiang is behind in my opinion." Seeing Zhong Jinhui''s expression of shame, Xia Yu said more, letting Zhong Jinhui breathe a sigh of relief. "The establishment of a Global Brokerage Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of the TV station. All the artists, directors, screenwriters and other industry logistics personnel under the TV station are all placed under the Global Brokerage Co., Ltd. In addition to signing a labor contract, it must also sign Brokerage commission contract." "The brokerage commission contract is first classified into artist, director, screenwriter, etc., and then each classification is divided into seven grades: sss, ss, s, a, b, c, and d." "You may not have much idea. Let me give you an example. Take the artist as an example. File d is a newcomer contract, file c is a third-rate artist contract, b file is a second-rate artist contract, a file is a first-rate artist contract, and s file is a fame beyond Xiangjiang. Restricted top artist contracts. The ss file is a famous artist contract in the world, and the sss file is a world superstar contract. In my opinion, only the deceased are eligible to sign the sss file contract among Chinese. Bruce Lee." "The specific benefits, benefits and obligations of various levels of brokerage contracts need to be designed reasonably. In my opinion, there are not many that can sign S-file contracts in the Xiangjiang Film and Television industry. They are formulated according to my standards." "You will be responsible for this one, and the implementation will begin after my review." "Xizhao, the brokerage company is very important. The goal is to provide me with the funds to shoot a TV series. The brokerage company can arrange all the staff for the TV series shooting, understand?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Huang Xizhao seriously. Huang Xizhao was already shocked by the thoughts of his boss Xia Yu. He solemnly nodded and replied loudly, "Understood!" "Do you have any questions?" Xia Yu looked at everyone, everyone shook their heads. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu nodded slightly and said encouragingly to everyone: "These tasks are very difficult, but everyone is my optimistic talent. I believe you can do the job!" "Go down and give orders. At three o''clock in the afternoon, I will call all the employees of the company and I will have a meeting." "Well, the meeting is over now!" After that, Xia Yu left the TV station and prepared to go home for dinner. He believes that as long as the work assigned by him at this high-level meeting can be implemented, then the TVB station will definitely only be suspended. For a company, an excellent management system and excellent management are the foundation for a company''s longevity. It is undeniable that there are always some geniuses in the world, but Xia Yu believes that the energy of geniuses is also limited, and geniuses cannot do everything. Later generations have also proved that collective wisdom is the strongest. Xia Yu doesn''t know how to write scripts, and he doesn''t know how to write program planning. Although he knows many TV series and TV shows that will be popular in later generations, he can only tell some of the best ideas, but he can''t write a complete script and planning! He does not have the time and energy to do these things! But as long as there is an elite screenwriter group and an elite planning group, as long as he provides an inspiration, these elites can copy what he wants according to his inspiration, and even do better. This can ensure the quality of each program and TV series, as well as the production rate of boutique products. In the future, Universal TV will fight with TVB. Perhaps TVB can suddenly make a popular drama, but a drama can only overwhelm Global TV for a while. After the show is finished, it will disappear. However, Universal Television has such an excellent system. Out of ten dramas, eight out of nine are better than TVB which is better and which is worse, at a glance! Xia Yu knows very well that copying programs and scripts can be popular for a while, but not forever. Even if he copied to 2018, what about after 2019? No copy, right? This kind of plagiarism can only be used to accelerate the rise of Universal Television. It can only be regarded as a strange trick. The only thing that can truly make Universal Television stand firm is an excellent management system. The essence of business operation is management. Of course, this does not mean that Xia Yu will give up taking advantage of his own time and experience in previous lives. Smart people will make the best use of their resources. There is no doubt that Xia Yu is definitely a clever man who is eclectic. Management is the right way, and the memory of past lives is the strange way. Only when the two ways are combined, can Universal TV be able to rise at the fastest speed! 8) Chapter 434: When Uranus is Sentimental In a blink of an eye, it was Xia Yu. When Xia Yu came to the TV station, the TV station''s employees were almost there. Because there were too many people in the TV station, the meeting room simply couldn''t sit down, so the staff meeting was simply arranged on the biggest stage in the TV station, and all the staff sat under the stage. Even so, the entire place was still packed, and the staff had to remove the big stools and replace them with small benches. When Xia Yu stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face, all the employees eagerly looked at Xia Yu, excited, curious, and varied. After seated, Xia Yu smiled and looked at the employees below. Those who were scanned by Xia Yu''s eyes, both men and women, subconsciously raised their heads and chests, hoping to show the most spiritual side. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Everyone has a very good mental outlook!" "Okay, now the meeting begins!" "I think no one doesn''t know me?" "Ha ha¡­¡­" "Knowing, stock god..." "boss¡­¡­" Seeing that the young boss actually joked at the beginning and seemed approachable, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their affection for the new boss increased greatly. Many people laughed kindly. Seeing that the boss didn''t mind, some people whispered. Seeing the following reaction, Xia Yu smiled and said: "It seems that no one does not know me, but I still have to solemnly introduce, my name is Xia Yu, and I am your new boss!" "Papa..." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Huang Xizhao took the lead and raised his hands to applaud vigorously, and the whole hall suddenly burst into fierce applause. After more than ten seconds, seeing that the applause hadn''t stopped, Xia Yu raised his hand and said, "Okay, stop, everyone, I feel your enthusiasm!" Suddenly, the whole venue fell silent. Looking at a pair of bright eyes, Xia Yu continued: "This morning, after the press conference, I called all the senior executives of the company for a meeting and made some work arrangements." "So in the next period of time, the company will have relatively big changes. Regardless of whether it adapts or adapts, you need to cooperate. I will inspect it from time to time. I hope everyone can perform well!" Xia Yu¡¯s indifferent words made the employees on the field startle. Many people nodded and reminded themselves that they should behave better in the next period of time, otherwise if they leave a bad impression on the boss, it¡¯s over. ! Of course, there are also some people who are secretly happy, and start to wonder how they can leave a good impression on the boss and seek greater benefits for themselves. ... Xia Yu didn''t hold an employee meeting for long. The main purpose of this meeting was to get familiar with everyone first, and then to make a stand for the work of Huang Xizhao and others, so that the subsequent work progressed smoothly and saved him time. When Xia Yu stepped down and was about to leave, a young man who was sitting near the aisle stood up and tried to get away, but accidentally tripped on a stool and almost fell. Although he was holding it hard and didn''t fall down, the stool hit the ground with a "bang". This immediately caught Xia Yu''s attention. He stopped and looked at the youth. Huang Xizhao and the others also stopped and looked over, with a slightly unhappy expression on his face. However, Xia Yu didn''t see it, but after seeing this young man, his brows were slightly frowned, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. Seeing Xia Yu frown, the young man raised his heart, and quickly raised the stool, and said uneasily, "Boss, I''m sorry!" Upon hearing the words, Xia Yu returned to his senses, saw the young man''s performance, and realized that he was inadvertently scared. He smiled slightly and said gently: "Don''t be nervous, I don''t eat people. Pay more attention. It doesn''t matter if the stool is broken, it won''t be good if the stool is broken!" The young man was taken aback and realized that the boss was not angry. Instead, he joked with him. He gratefully said, "Thank you boss, I will pay attention next time!" "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded slightly. Just about to leave, he stopped and looked at the young man. When Huang Xizhao was puzzled, he heard Xia Yu ask: "What is your name?" The young man was stunned, and said quickly: "Report to the boss, my name is Zhang Weirong!" "It turned out to be him. I didn''t expect Zhang Weirong to be on Li''s TV station when he was young." Xia Yu''s heart was stunned. No wonder he felt a little familiar. He didn''t expect it to be Zhang Weirong. This surprised him. But after the accident, there was a faint joy in my heart, this is a talent. Although Zhang Yurong still looks young and young now, it is undeniable that he is a piece of raw jade, which is of great value to the TV station when he is cultivated, and he is indeed very valuable to cultivate. "Zhang Chenrong, the name is good!" Xia Yu commented and made Zhang Chengrong a little flattered. He only officially made his debut in Li last year to participate in a TV series, but because of his weak foundation and poor acting skills, he has yet to shine. "Boss, Zhang Chenrong is very hardworking and studious, and his attitude is very good!" Seeing that the boss seemed to admire Zhang Weirong, Zhong Jinhui, who was accompanying him, rolled his eyes and said. He is in charge of logistics and artist training, so naturally he knows Zhang Chenrong. "It''s good to be diligent. If you are not diligent and studious when you are young, you can never make a big achievement!" Xia Yu glanced over the faces of the onlookers and found that some of them were company artists. He moved in his heart and said with a smile. Although I was complimenting Zhang Weirong, it might not have taken the opportunity to call other people. "keep it up!" Seeing Zhang Weirong who was happily at a loss, Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged. "Boss rest assured, I will definitely!" Zhang Weirong said immediately, his eyes full of determination. Xia Yu nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with his attitude, then Xia Yu thought for a while, and said to Huang Xizhao lightly: "Good voice, good appearance, talented in singing and acting, and good attitude to behave and do things. You can focus on training. !" "Yes!" Huang Xizhao was taken aback, and immediately responded. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Weirong, who was completely stunned, and then quickly glanced at the enviable expressions of others around him, as well as the firmness on some people¡¯s faces. He seemed to understand What happened, he took a deep look at Zhang Weirong, and said in his heart: "Good luck kid!" Huang Xizhao''s performance was seen by Xia Yu. He knew that Huang Xizhao had misunderstood, but he didn''t explain it. On the contrary, Huang Xizhao could think so better. "Don''t thank you boss?" Seeing Zhang Weirong''s head like a goose, Zhong Jinhui couldn''t stand it anymore and reminded. "what?" "Thank you boss for training! Thank you boss!" Zhang Yurong bowed quickly and said with gratitude. He still felt dizzy. He didn''t expect that a pie would fall from the sky. He really couldn''t believe it. It turned out to be ugly, but unexpectedly, by chance, he was valued by the boss, and he asked the general manager to focus on training him in front of everyone. While he was flattered, also felt too dreamy. Seeing the youthful look of the confidently shining superstar in the future, Xia Yu felt a bit interesting, smiled, and left with Huang Xizhao and others. When Xia Yu and others disappeared from sight, the onlookers finally stopped being patient. They all gathered around and said with envy and jealousy: "Rongzai, you are so lucky to be valued by the boss. Why am I not like you? Good luck?" "Yeah, Rongzai, so lucky you, I''m so jealous! Not only did I fail to be scolded by the boss, but was cultivated by the boss instead of throwing a stool! I just sweated for you!" "But the boss has a very good temper, and he is very big..." "Rongzi, nothing said, you must treat tonight..." "Rongzi, don''t forget the brothers and sisters who used to be difficult when you develop in the future..." Listening to the flattering words of colleagues and feeling their completely different attitudes, Zhang Weirong, who was originally excited, calmed down, clenching his fists unknowingly, and while grateful to the boss, secretly decided not to let the boss down! Chapter 435: 9 tripod building and new business "Wow, Xia Yu, you see, every newspaper you have is the front page headline, and the covers of these newspapers are almost the same. This picture of you is so charming!" Early the next morning, when Xia Yu came to the company, Li Qian came in with a bunch of newspapers and quickly flipped through them, and found that the big covers of different newspapers were almost all Xia Yu¡¯s head portraits. This made the heart of the earth happy and happily took the newspapers Put it in front of Xia Yu, then came behind Xia Yu and gently pinched Xia Yu''s shoulders. Enjoying Li Qian''s service, Xia Yu was also interested, flipping through a bunch of newspapers, and found that it was really the case. These newspapers seem to have negotiated, and the photos used are surprisingly consistent. But Xia Yu was not too surprised, because he knew that his company¡¯s newspaper also used this one. It can only be said that Xia Yu''s photo is too representative and has a strong visual impact. As long as the newspaper editor has the most basic business sense, he will not use other photos. Xia Yu picked up a newspaper casually, it was the "Hong Kong Economic Journal". The photo on the cover was the photo of Xia Yu with a lightly raised finger during the press conference yesterday. Combining the explosive headline and the inciting report, readers know that this and the finger represent 100 million, and a powerful visual impact rushes in an instant. Even though Xia Yu himself is the protagonist, after reading the report in The Hong Kong Economic Journal, he was a little emotional. "It seems that the editor of The Hong Kong Economic Journal has a good writing standard. Even though I am the protagonist, I am still incited." Xia Yu tut said. Li Qian, who was squeezing Xia Yu''s shoulders, had a proud look on her face and whispered: "It''s not that you are too good. Move your fingers for a hundred million, so domineering!" "You read that newspaper. It says 100 million yuan on it is just sprinkling water for you, so it''s so easy and natural." Looking at Li Qian''s little proud look, Xia Yu smiled happily. "It seems that it is not suitable to go out today. There must be many reporters outside." Xia Yu said jokingly. "Sure, I guess, today the entire front page of Xiangjiang is occupied by you. One is Xia Daheng''s 100 million sprinkling of water, and the other is the change of Li''s TV station. They are all related to you!" Li Qian''s red lips whispered slightly, and her slender smooth jade hand stroked Xia Yu''s knife-shaved face, her beautiful eyes filled with love. ... This is indeed the case. Today¡¯s hot spots are covered by a large part of Xia Yu. Even the news that Jiashi stopped broadcasting was suppressed by Xia Yu. Jiashi changed the sky and stopped broadcasting, but Li''s change of boss also changed the sky, and the two companies are on par. However, the boss of the TV station that can''t bear Li is Xia Yu, the stock **** of Xiangjiang, the combination of the two, and the impact it has is extremely amazing. What''s more, Xia Yu also announced that he would invest at least 100 million yuan to transform the TV station. At the same time, he was full of Xiangjiang recruiting talents. Every news is usually super heavy news. But this time it appears all at once, and the effect it can produce is definitely an effect of 1+1+1+1>4. However, in Xia Yu''s view, the bigger the sensation, the better, which is more beneficial to his Global TV station. TV stations are in the media industry, and the word "low-key" is not needed at all, the more famous the better! "Tuk Tuk!" After a long time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Qian, who was sitting on Xia Yu¡¯s lap, stood up quickly and felt her face rosy. She consciously entered the back room to calm herself down by Xia Yu. . "Come in!" Seeing Li Qian closing the door, Xia Yu straightened his clothes and said with a serious face. With a squeak, the door opened and Yan Wenhan walked in respectfully. "sit down!" "Have you finished reading it? Have you thought about how to relocate?" Waiting for Yan Wenhan to take his seat, Xia Yu asked softly. Early in the morning, Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan to go to Harbour City to check the decoration situation in the building he designated, and then put forward his opinion on how many floors Jiuding Newspaper Company needs. Buying the Wharf Group has a great advantage, that is, there are many properties under the Wharf Group, and Xia Yu''s luxury house is one of them. Luxury houses are under the real estate business of Wharf, and Harbour City, a subsidiary of Wharf Group, also has many properties. Harbour City consists of three major buildings, namely the Ocean Terminal where the Harbour City Shopping Centre is located, the semicircular Ocean Center newly completed in 1977, and the H-shaped Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel next to the Ocean Center. In addition, there are a total of six office buildings around. Because of the different construction years, the six office buildings have different heights. The latest one is the tallest, with a total height of 120 meters and a total of 28 floors! This office building was newly built and was not rented out. In order to build this building, the Wharf Group also borrowed a huge sum of money from the bank, but unfortunately it was about to pick up the fruit and was swallowed by Xia Yu. Xia Yu decided not to rent this office building after reading it. He didn''t worry about the loans that the group backed at all. It was important to solve the problem of his company headquarters first. The subordinate companies are integrated to work together, and the cohesion and combat effectiveness will definitely be improved by several grades. Therefore, this 28-storey office building was directly used by Xia Yu and named Jiuding Building. It was used to house the companies under his control and integrated offices as much as possible. It is still under intense renovation. With so many floors, there is more than enough for his company to house him. Yan Wenhan received Xia Yu''s order to check the scene, and now he is finally back. "Boss, I took a look. The area of ??each floor is very large. Only two floors are enough to accommodate all the current employees. There is even an extra." Yan Wenhan reports truthfully. Xia Yu nodded slightly and thought for a while and said, "The company must expand in the future, so let''s give the newspaper company a three-story building and the third floor as a spare!" "thank you boss!" Yan Wenhan said with joy. "In my envisioned media group, it will occupy 10 floors, from the first floor to the tenth floor. Which floors do you want to be on?" Xia Yu asked. Yan Wenhan is not polite After all, when it comes to the convenience of his company, he thought for a while and said, ¡°Just one to three floors, it¡¯s more convenient.¡± Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the first to third floors belong to you. Please give me a list of what office supplies are needed. Then I will let people purchase them together." "Ok!" Yan Wenhan said respectfully. "Why, is there anything else?" Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan sitting still, raising his brows. Yan Wenhan nodded, spent a few seconds sorting out his thoughts, and said: "Boss, now the newspapers and magazines under the company are on the right track, and I also have some free time to collect and study the large media companies in the world. I have some inspiration for the operation mode and business of the company, and I feel that the time is ripe, so I want to open up some new businesses." 8) Chapter 436: Yan Wenhans thoughts When Xia Yu heard this, he was interested and looked at Yan Wenhan with interest. The current business of Jiuding Newspaper Company is almost always developed under his guidance, whether it is the establishment of "Jiuding Daily", "Fengyun Daily", "Economic Weekly" and other magazines and newspapers. Still buying newspapers, Yan Wenhan is almost always carrying out Xia Yu''s will and orders to do his job as perfect as possible. It should be said that as an executive, Yan Wenhan is undoubtedly very good. After such a long time, it seems that this is the first time Yan Wenhan has actively and solemnly wanted to provide opinions, or an important opinion on the direction of the company''s development. This is not bad. While Xia Yu was surprised, he was also very satisfied. It seems that Yan Wenhan is finally familiar with the company thoroughly, with a certain degree of confidence, and begins to try to get out of his shadow. This is the only way to become an independent general. Just like Zhang Yong of the later Alibaba Group, he grew up under the influence of Jack Ma, and then walked out of the shadow of Jack Ma, and finally succeeded in succeeding Jack Ma in charge of Alibaba Group. Now Yan Wenhan is able to independently operate and manage the entire Jiuding Newspaper Company, but he still has a way to go if he wants to make the company develop better and better, and even get rid of his dependence on the boss Xia Yu. Now Yan Wenhan is trying to take the first step, Xia Yu will certainly give him the greatest support. "Do you have any ideas, feel free to say it!" Xia Yu smiled and said in an encouraging tone. Seeing the boss''s encouragement, Yan Wenhan felt relieved and said slowly: "Boss, our company has basically achieved full coverage in the newspaper field. Except entertainment, no matter which category it is, financial business, people''s livelihood, current affairs, etc. And so on, there are iconic newspapers, and they are either ranked first in the same field, or they are already in the top few. You only need to maintain your advantage and seek progress while maintaining stability." "But after observation, combined with more mature foreign media market surveys, I found that in the field of magazines, we still have great opportunities." "The subdivisions are either blank or there is no iconic magazine. These are opportunities." "So I think that in the next period of time, in addition to cultivating the newspaper field, I will put more energy into magazines, and produce various corresponding magazines according to different types, and strive to monopolize the magazine industry in Xiangjiang and even the entire Southeast Asia or Asia. ." Speaking of this, it seems that there is already a relatively intuitive idea in his mind. Yan Wenhan''s tone of speech unconsciously becomes agitated, and an impulse is emitted from his body. Seeing Yan Wenhan''s state and listening to his narration, Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with satisfaction. This hard work deserves recognition! But Xia Yu wanted to know what other dry goods Yan Wenhan had prepared. "You have a good idea, continue to say, do you have any specific plans?" Xia Yu said with a smile. "There are some ideas that are not mature yet. Please correct me if they are not good!" Yan Wenhan first spoke modestly, and then took a deep breath to make his thoughts clearer and speak in detail. "In financial business, our "Economics" weekly magazine is very successful, and it complements "Jiuding Daily" and "South China Morning Post." "Following our company, Fengyun Daily is also very successful, which shows that we have the ability to be considered excellent in current affairs news, and have the ability to be a current affairs magazine." "I also inspected the United States, which is the most mature media industry. The market for current affairs and news magazines is not smaller than that for business and economic magazines." "In the United States, there are three major current affairs news weekly magazines, namely Time Magazine, News Weekly, and U.S. News and World Report. Each of them has a weekly circulation of more than 2.5 million copies in the United States. At its peak, the circulation worldwide exceeded 4 million." "But I have observed that these three current affairs magazines are mainly for the United States. Even if the international editions are released, they are all English versions for developed countries in Europe and America, or European languages ??such as German and French. There is no Chinese version. " "So in the Chinese-speaking market, current affairs magazines are still blank. I think we can occupy the market first, and use this as a foundation to be invincible, and then launch a charge against these magazines." Yan Wenhan finished speaking in one breath, and licked his lips. "There is water over there, pour it yourself, you are welcome." Seeing this, Xia Yu glanced at the coffee table, motioned and said. "thank you boss!" After Yan Wenhan finished speaking, he was not polite, and drank a glass of water on his own. "Your idea is very good, I agree, you can let go of it!" When Yan Wenhan finished drinking the water and sat down again, Xia Yu gave him a positive answer. Yan Wenhan had a bright smile on his face when he heard the words. Then I heard Xia Yu ask: "Did you think of a name?" "Boss Can you read Fengyun Weekly?" Yan Wenhan suggested. "Yes, it is in the same line as "Fengyun Daily", and can use the reputation of "Fengyun Daily" to improve the starting point and rise speed. Let''s call it this name!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and made a final decision. "Ok!" Yan Wenhan responded with a smile. "Looking at you, your magazine plan should be more than that. Except for "Fengyun Weekly", what else do you want to do? Tell it all! As long as it is reasonable, I will support you!" Xia Yu continued to ask, encouraging Yan Wenhan to raise it all at once. "Boss, I also inspected the magazine market in the fashion field and found that it has great potential, and because of its linkage with jewelry and fashion industries, advertising revenue can even exceed magazines in other fields." "So I want to be a fashion magazine." "In addition, I also found that there is a magazine called "Playboy" in the United States, which is growing rapidly, and this company uses the magazine as its foundation and platform to reach into cosmetics, bags, clothing, entertainment, etc. The field gave me a lot of inspiration. I inspected our local market and found that there is no such magazine, and the market is blank!" "I think if we also make a magazine like this, there should be a market, and most men should not be able to refuse it." Yan Wenhan continued, speaking in great detail, with both the investigation situation and his own independent analysis, which was well-founded and convincing, and proved that he had indeed devoted a lot of thoughts. "Fuck!" "Not bad!" Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan appreciatively and applauded. This kind of praise and affirmation made Yan Wenhan''s eyebrows happy, although he made a humble posture, he still couldn''t conceal the excitement from his heart. 8) Chapter 437: The foundation of the world newspaper giants Of course Xia Yu knew Yan Wenhan''s proposal, and even he knew the inside story better than Yan Wenhan. The potential and influence of fashion magazines and "Playboy" are definitely more terrifying than Yan Wenhan imagined. One thing Yan Wenhan guessed right is that the magazine income in the fashion field is really the highest among all magazines! Xia Yu''s previous life has seen a 2009 ranking list, which is the ranking list of all well-known magazine advertising revenues in China. The number one magazine in the field of economics and management, Caijing, has an annual advertising revenue of about 200 million yuan. The second-placed "Fortune" is about 150 million yuan. The third-ranked "CBN Weekly" can only exceed 100 million. . However, the magazine "Fashion Yiren", the number one magazine in the field of fashion beauty and clothing, has an annual advertising revenue of 670 million. The second-placed "World Fashion Garden" is 570 million, and the third-placed "Ruili Yiren Fashion" is 490 million. . According to statistics, there are 13 magazines with advertising revenue of more than 100 million yuan, and 9 magazines with advertising revenue of more than 200 million yuan! And they are all revenue from advertising in 2009, when the money had not depreciated on a large scale! Compare the two fields, the gap is too big! The revenue of Caijing magazine, the number one in the field of economics and management, can only be compared to the tenth place in the fashion field! Looking at the spotlight, women''s business is really easy to do! If Jiuding Newspaper can successfully do a good job in fashion magazines, its advertising revenue will definitely exceed other newspapers and magazines. With the same sales volume, surpassing "Economic Weekly" is not a problem! "Wenhan, your idea is very good, you can do it, I give you the greatest support!" Xia Yu said affirmatively and made a promise. "thank you boss!" Yan Wenhan thanked with joy. "Wenhan, you have said so much, I also have some thoughts, please listen first, and then think about it carefully!" Xia Yu thought for a while and said slowly. Yan Wenhan immediately narrowed his smile, sat up straight, looked at Xia Yu scorchingly, and made a listening gesture. "In the field of newspapers, our company has established a leading position in the entire Southeast Asia region, but now that we have done it, we must do everything to cover all categories." "In terms of entertainment, we lack a representative newspaper." "Don''t look at the current entertainment that seems to be not very popular, it seems a little low-level. The newspapers that do entertainment newspapers are all third-rate tabloid newspapers, but in my opinion, the entertainment industry has great potential and its influence in the future will also increase. As a businessman, we cannot look at any industry with a discriminatory perspective." "Since it seems to everyone that entertainment news is very low-end, then we have made a set of standards to raise the threshold. This will make it easier to build authority, don''t you think?" "Yes, you are right!" Hearing the boss''s inquiry, Yan Wenhan nodded with a thoughtful expression on his face. "So next, the company will set up another newspaper, specializing in the entertainment field, called "Entertainment Daily", which is grass-rooted, popular, and professional. Be careful not to report fake news, and don''t take the lead. Picking up those dog-blood inside stories, so as to improve the grade and authority of the newspaper!" "In the media industry, authority always comes first!" "Understand?" "understood!" Yan Wenhan nodded solemnly, and at the same time he took out his notebook and quickly recorded it. "With "Entertainment Daily", we can achieve full coverage in the newspaper field, so let''s talk about the magazine field." Xia Yu made a summary, took a sip of water to moisturize his throat, and continued. "The magazine market is bigger and more profitable than newspapers. Therefore, in the next few years, Jiuding News will focus on specializing in magazines when consolidating and upgrading the newspaper field." "I said you remember some categories." "In the entertainment field, you can make an "Entertainment Weekly", a popular film and television magazine with both graphics and text, and publish news reports, product introductions, and interviews about entertainment (including movies, videos, concerts, records, tapes, and books, etc.) There can even be columns for children¡¯s entertainment and entertainment equipment procurement." "As for men''s magazines, you just said to make a magazine similar to "Playboy". I also have some ideas. Our local market is blank. We can make one to fill the vacancy in the men''s journal market and fill the psychological needs of men. vacancy." "The name of the magazine can be called "Men''s Clothing", and the purpose of the publication is "Men must have true temperament". The content can be full of **** portraits of **** women. Don''t break the scale, you can still do well. I believe that regardless of the grassroots, If you are an elite man or a child of a rich family, you can''t refuse." "The fashion field is a big category, and the market that can be cultivated is large enough." "For example, in the field of fashion and beauty, you can make two books, called "Fashion Yiren" and "Mr. Fashion" respectively. They are aimed at men and women. The concept of running a magazine can be: personality growth, relationship between the sexes, career development. , Emotions, health, career, life, fashion, beauty, entertainment and other sectors to write content." "Even this field can be further refined. "Fashion Yiren" is aimed at young women in general, and another book called "Bazaar" is aimed at high-grade women who are mature elites with high spending power." "Similarly, you can also make a "Bazaar Men" magazine aimed at mature elite men." "For another example, in the field of health and family life, you can also make two books called "Fashion Health". It is divided into men¡¯s and women¡¯s editions. It focuses on the eternal theme of "health" with the theme of "physical health, mental health, and social adaptation." "Strength" is the core of the editor, providing a full range of psychological and physical health information. "There is also the field of sports and hobbies, which are still inconspicuous, but the future potential will be good. You can make a book called "Fashion Travel". You can learn from the "National Geographic Society" and provide a unique travel reading experience To encourage readers to explore the world." "Fashion can be built into a big brand, as well as "Fashion Home" for the home furnishing industry, "Fashion Time" for the fashion watch industry and so on." "In addition, there are other fields, such as the automotive field. A professional automotive magazine is dedicated to provide the latest, most authoritative, most comprehensive and objective automotive information, popularize knowledge for consumers, and after success , The car industry¡¯s advertisements will be softened, and the magazine¡¯s name can be called "Auto Magazine." "In terms of literature, culture and art, you can make a magazine called "Friends", which can hold high the banner of "beauty of humanity and beauty of human nature", and adhere to the awareness of "reading articles and wonderful periods". , The prospects will be good too!" "As for other areas that I haven''t talked about, you can investigate later. The magazine market is particularly big!" The more Xia Yu said, the more inspired he was, and he said everything he thought of in one breath. Looking at Yan Wenhan who was dumbfounded, but still struggling to record, Xia Yu''s mouth turned into a smile. Xia Yu watched quietly. When Yan Wenhan finally put down his pen, he heard his heartfelt admiration and emotion: "Boss, UU Reading , you are really amazing. I didn''t expect it to be in the magazine field. I was ignorant of such a large operating market and space, but now listening to your advice is really shocking!" Listening to Yan Wenhan''s emotional words, looking at his admiration and shocking eyes, Xia Yu smiled and said encouragingly: "Observe more and think more, you can find it too!" "Yeah! I must keep your instructions firmly in mind!" Yan Wenhan nodded solemnly and promised. "After remembering so much, how should the company develop in the next few years, do you have an outline?" Xia Yu asked. "Yes!" "In the next few years or even decades, we will be intensively working in the field of newspapers and magazines. The foundation will be established, nothing more than expanding the scope of the market, going out of Xiangjiang, going to Asia, going to Europe, and going to the world!" "How to deal with magazines and newspapers, and how to do it better? You need to explore and research on your own. I leave it to you. I believe you can do it well. Don''t let me down!" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan with expectant eyes. Yan Wenhan pursed his lips, his eyes were full of determination, and he nodded solemnly. "Boss rest assured, I will work hard and I will never let you down!" "Ok!" "Any questions?" "temporarily unavailable!" Yan Wenhan shook his head and said. "If you have any questions, ask me to mention it. If it''s okay, go ahead!" "Goodbye boss!" Yan Wenhan solemnly put away the notebook that recorded the idea, firmly grasped it in his hand, bowed to Xia Yu, and slowly exited the office after speaking. Looking at Yan Wenhan''s back and feeling his flaming fighting spirit, Xia Yu showed an expectant smile. "I hope you don''t let me down!" "If these magazines can be produced, Jiuding News will have the foundation to become a world newspaper giant!" Chapter 438: Bronze Tripod "Would you like to accompany me out for a walk?" After Yan Wenhan left, Li Qian walked out again. Xia Yu looked at his watch and thought of Liu Tianci''s call to report to him. Quietly thinking about going to check it out on the spot, he asked Li Qian Tao. "Hmm!" Li Qian smiled sweetly, nodded obediently and responded softly. "Let''s go!" Xia Yu said with a light smile, and took Li Qian to the Jiuding Bank Building in Central on Hong Kong Island. Before long, Xia Yu arrived in Zhonghuan and stopped at the door of Jiuding Bank Building. After getting off the bus, Xia Yu looked up at the exterior of the newly renewed building and nodded in satisfaction. "The efficiency of the Wharf construction department is pretty good!" Looking at the building again, Xia Yu saw that the huge sign was covered by a red cloth. Before the opening day, the sign was specially covered in order to be happy and good omen. "Let''s go, let''s go in!" Withdrawing his gaze, Xia Yu smiled at Li Qian beside him, and then led her towards the gate. Before stepping into the glass door, Xia Yu saw Liu Tianci carefully directing a group of workers to carefully carry a bronze cauldron. Liu Tianci did not see Xia Yu behind him. "Move a little to the left!" Xia Yu said suddenly. "Yes, move a little to the left!" Liu Tianci commanded subconsciously. Suddenly he was taken aback and turned around in an instant. He saw Xia Yu right behind. He quickly said, "Boss, you are here!" "Hi boss!" Others immediately shouted respectfully. "Hello!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile, his attitude was kind, and the employees and workers showed a knowing smile. "This tripod looks great, where did you buy it?" Xia Yu walked in, looked around the bronze cauldron carefully, and touched the cold cauldron with his hand, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and asked Liu Tianci. The bank is called Jiuding Bank, and honesty is the most important thing to do as a bank. Liu Tianci thought of "one word", and then he diverged, and proposed to Xia Yu that placing a tripod in the lobby of the bank''s main entrance can definitely give customers a kind of nonsense. The same experience and deep impression. The Baoding placed at the main entrance is a symbol of integrity and can easily establish an image! This proposal made Xia Yu''s eyes bright, and he agreed without hesitation, and asked Liu Tianci to find a way to buy it. It is best to buy an antique big tripod. If you can''t buy it, use modern technology to build one. It seems that this tripod is not an antique, but Xia Yu is still very satisfied after seeing the appearance. This tripod is a round tripod with three legs and two ears, a height of more than 1.5 meters, and a caliber estimated to be more than one meter. The tripod has thick cubic ears, deep belly, round bottom, and three legs with slightly hoof meaning. The upper abdomen has five-tooth short ribs as the nose wings, decorated with six groups of animal face patterns, the split of the animal face exhibited is the Kuilong pattern with complete tail and claws, the fine cloud and thunder pattern is the ground, and the main pattern is decorated with a hook pattern. This is a "three-layer flower" commonly seen on noble artifacts! "Boss, I searched the entire Xiangjiang River, and finally found a shop on Pottinger Street on Hong Kong Island. I bought this tripod. I heard from the boss that it was built in 1958. The best tripod. I look at it and feel the atmosphere. , It cost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy it." Liu Tianci said with a smile, glanced at Baoding, and his eyes also showed satisfaction. "100,000? Worth the price!" Xia Yu said indifferently. Although this tripod is not an antique, and whether it is worth 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is still open to question, Xia Yu doesn''t care. It''s hard to buy a happy daughter! Besides, one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars is just for him to sprinkle water. It is worth buying a Baoding that satisfies him! What''s more, Xia Yu also firmly believes that if this tripod is placed in the lobby of Jiuding Bank for decades, when Jiuding Bank is famous all over the world in the future, this tripod will also be endowed with extraordinary meaning, and it will not be a problem that it is worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. ! The value of antiques lies in the historical and cultural value contained in antiques. Of course, this tripod can also be given value! Liu Tianci grinned when he heard the words. "You continue to arrange it, I will just stroll around, and I will find you later!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took Li Qian to stroll around the whole building, leaving Liu Tianci to place the bronze tripod in the hall. Before long, it should have been settled. Liu Tianci found Xia Yu and followed him step by step. He kept reporting the status quo and work progress of Jiuding Bank. Xia Yu stopped and went and nodded from time to time. After a short time, he walked around the company and came to the boss office set up in Jiuding Bank. Each company of Xia Yu has a dedicated office for him. No matter how often he comes, or whether he comes or not, the office is absolutely indispensable. In the office, Xia Yu took a sip of tea, sighed lightly, and asked Liu Tianci: "I think the bank headquarters is almost finished. How is the progress of other branches?" Liu Tianci put down his teacup, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and he thought for a while and said: "The original five branches have solid foundations, and they will soon be renovated, so the main focus is on the newly opened five branches." "It took a total of 18 days from scratch, and I personally followed it up and made sure that the five branches are ready and the staff are all ready, ready to open!" "Boss, if you don''t come now, I also plan to report to you and see when it can open." After speaking, Liu Tianci looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for his order. Xia Yu smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction: "It''s very fast. I didn''t expect it to be completed so quickly. It''s a good job!" Hearing Xia Yu''s praise, Liu Tianci smiled. "Then don''t wait, just open the business these few days, is there any suitable day?" Liu Tianci heard this and immediately said: "Yes, I have found someone to check it. Three days later, it will be a lucky day. It is time to open the market, trade, establish securities, and pay for money." "Haha! You are really thoughtful!" Xia Yu smiled and said with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, Liu Tianci had even considered this in advance. "Then three days later, you can arrange the opening ceremony and send out the invitation letter widely Whether it is a Chinese or a British, it is all we need to open an account. It is their business whether it comes." Xia Yu exhorted. "Ok!" Liu Tianci responded. Xia Yu thought for a while, then said again: "When that day comes, I will let newspaper companies, TV stations and securities companies give you help, make the momentum bigger, and launch Jiuding Bank in one fell swoop." "Thank you boss!" Liu Tianci happily thanked after hearing this. Jiuding Bank will be taken care of by him, and he can get a high starting point when it opens, which can shorten his time and save him a lot of energy. Especially if Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. cooperates, as long as the operation is good, Jiuding Bank will definitely have a good start! On this point, he is absolutely confident! After all, in Hong Kong, how many people want to board the ship of Jiuding Securities Co., but are not allowed to enter because of the high threshold. If Jiuding Bank can open a back door, customers will definitely flock in. "By the way, there is one more thing. Jiuding Building in Harbour City is about to be renovated. I will arrange the first floor for Jiuding Bank at that time, and then you will arrange for someone to do the connection." Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of something and said to Liu Tianci. It is certainly not enough to give Jiuding Bank one floor to relocate the entire company. However, Jiuding Bank is special after all, and the entire financial center of Hong Kong is actually located here in Central. If Jiuding Bank moves to Kowloon, business development will be restricted. This is also why Xia Yu will separately obtain a building here in Central for Jiuding Bank. The first floor of Jiuding Building on the side of Harbour City in Kowloon District is the link between Jiuding Bank and the head office. In the future, if you want to come to the headquarters to participate in meetings, it is good to settle there. "Okay, thank you boss!" Liu Tianci understood and said thankfully. 8) ~: Update to day It''s too sleepy. I only wrote a chapter tonight, but the plot is not well connected, so it won''t be released so soon. Come and watch it tomorrow daytime. Let''s rest early. Don''t stay up late. Your health is the most important thing! Goodnight everybody! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 439: He Hong? Falcon?/a> After staying at the headquarters of Jiuding Bank for a while, Xia Yuxing wanted to go to the branches below. After a visit, Xia Yu was very satisfied. Both the hardware and software aspects of the major branches are well equipped, especially in terms of personnel. Xia Yu also tried his characteristics and the quality is quite good. It seems that Liu Godsend has recruited a group of good talents. Seeing with his own eyes, Xia Yu was very relieved, and everything was waiting for Jiuding Bank to open! Time flies like a white horse, and it is three days later. Early in the morning, Liu Bai stopped by the newsstand on the way to work and habitually bought a few newspapers to learn about the latest major events. When I saw the bold headline on the cover of Jiuding Daily, my eyes lit up and I immediately looked at it carefully. "Jiuding Bank opened grandly! The deposit interest rate is the highest in Hong Kong! It also has a strong alliance with Jiuding Securities Company! Good news for investors!" This title is very attractive for senior white-collar Liu Bai. He has a lot of salary surplus every month, but for a highly educated person, in this era of rapid change, non-appreciation of assets is actually depreciation, so he is very keen on investment. However, his own level of investment in stocks can only be regarded as medium, and the investment return rate of the fund he bought was originally satisfactory, but after the birth of the most famous Jiuding Securities Company, he was not satisfied. People are more dead than others, and you can just shop around! The fund he sold is completely incomparable with the fund opened by Jiuding Securities. However, Jiuding Securities has a great reputation, but the threshold is also high. Although Jiuding Securities also specially opened a few low-threshold funds, every fundraiser was snatched wildly, and he did not grab it, which made him regret for a long time. . Unexpectedly, this report in the "Jiuding Daily" actually told him that he had a chance! Jiuding Bank, at a glance, can tell that it is in the same group with Jiuding Securities, and has a close relationship with the stock **** Xia Yu. The opening of Jiuding Bank today not only determined the highest deposit interest rate in Hong Kong, but also joined forces with Jiuding Securities. Jiuding Securities has specially opened two funds for users of Jiuding Bank, namely Jiuding Bank No. 1 and Jiuding Bank No. 2 Fund. Jiuding Bank No. 1 Fund starts at 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per share. For Jiuding Securities Company, the threshold is extremely low; for Jiuding Bank No. 2 Fund, 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per share starts, and the threshold is not too high! Both funds belong to Jiuding Securities Company, but they are specially opened for depositors of Jiuding Bank. They are not open to the outside world. The only way is to open an account with Jiuding Bank to deposit money! After reading the entire report, Liu Bai''s eyes lighted up, and his pupils seemed to appear $$! "This is a great opportunity. The scope has been narrowed from all Hong Kong and Southeast Asia to the depositors of Jiuding Bank. It is about to open now. If I become a depositor early, wouldn''t I be able to invest in these two funds?" "Finally got a chance to board the ship!" Liu Bai was in agitated mood, clenched his fists unconsciously, and muttered excitedly. "Moreover, there is a stock spirit behind Jiuding Bank. It is safer than most banks and has less risk!" "I also gave the highest deposit interest rate in Hong Kong, so confident, I really deserve to be a stock god!" "No, I have to withdraw all my money, I want to deposit it in Jiuding Bank, and use them all to buy Jiuding Bank funds!" Secretly made a decision. Liu Bai looked at his watch with a little embarrassment on his face. After a quick change, his face became firm. He decided to find an excuse to ask the boss for a morning leave, then withdraw money, and then go to Jiuding Bank to open an account! There are not a few people who have thoughts like Liu Bai. After all, there are too many people who are interested in the fund shares of Jiuding Securities. These people are rich and educated, and many things have been figured out at once, and they are naturally unwilling to let go of opportunities. Many people followed the address and came to Central on Hong Kong Island. At the same time, in the square at the entrance of Jiuding Bank Building in Central on Hong Kong Island, there are enough security personnel around to maintain order. In the middle of the square, a lion dance performance is going on. The two lions are fighting fiercely and splendidly. The crowd applauded one after another. "Wow, there''s another big guy here. It turned out to be Lin Baixin from the Lin family. He actually came in person, and let people carry such a big flower basket." "The stock **** came to greet him personally, he deserves to be a big brother!" "Look, look, that''s Zheng Yutong, the boss of New World Development Group, I heard that he is called Shadantong!" "And that person, Zhao Congyan, the big man of Huaguang Group, the house I bought was built by Huaguang Real Estate, he is the patriarch of the wealthy Zhao family!" With the arrival of luxury cars, a big boss from Xiangjiang came personally, and Xia Yu immediately greeted him with a smile. If it is a wealthy person with a lower level, Liu Tianci will come forward to greet him, and it will not make people feel undervalued. After all, as long as it is a high-level boss in Hong Kong, no one has not had contact with the capital market. Of course, he knows Liu Tianci, the former HSBC executive, and now he is the general manager of Jiuding Bank, and his status is still lofty. "Xia Sheng, congratulations on getting rich! Business is booming!" "Xia Sheng, your career is getting bigger and bigger, congratulations!" "Xia Sheng, after today, the gap between us and you will get bigger and bigger, admire it!" ... "Thank you all for joining us, I am deeply honored!" In the VIP reception room, listening to the praise and praise of the big guys around him, Xia Yu smiled, and kept responding, paying attention to it and even pouring them tea himself. "Boss, Mr. Bao Yugang''s car is here." At this moment, an employee trot over and reported in a whisper beside Xia Yu. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and then said to Zheng Yutong, Lin Baixin and others: "Bao Sheng is here too. I will welcome him in first. I''ll miss him first." "Xia Sheng, busy yourself, don''t worry about us, we won''t be polite." Zheng Yutong waved his hand indifferently and said, urging Xia Yu to go quickly. "Then everyone please!" Xia Yu smiled and went out after speaking. Sure enough, when I came to the door again, I saw Bao Yugang walking towards the door step by step. Xia Yu greeted him with a smile. At the same time, behind Xia Yu, there was an employee who guided Bao Yugang to place the subordinates carrying the flower basket behind him. Put a flower basket. "Xia Sheng, Congratulations on getting rich, and making a lot of money!" Bao Yugang smiled heartily and congratulated Xia Yu with a fist. "Bao Sheng, it''s the same, let''s make a fortune together! Please inside!" "please!" ... There are more and more people eating melons around the Jiuding Bank Building. Every time a luxury car arrives and a big boss appears, there will always be a burst of exclamation. Some more knowledgeable people proudly introduce the people around them. The identity of the boss. Huo Yingdong, Luo Yingshi, Cao Wenjin, Tian Yuanhao, Hu Zhong, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, Li Jiacheng, Wang Dehui, Xu Family, Lei Family, Feng Family, Zhou Family, Deng Family, etc. Xiangjiang¡¯s famous figures and wealthy people appeared, let everyone Eye-opener, shocked. Some people who wanted to open an account and save money became more confident after seeing it. After all, there are too many bigwigs here. Jiuding Bank can definitely grow and grow. If you save money in Jiuding Bank, you can''t lose money. Just as the opening ceremony was about to begin, another luxury car drove over and immediately attracted the attention of some people. "It''s He Hongshen''s car, he is also here." Bao Yugang looked like a torch, saw the license plate number from a distance, and said to Xia Yu. "Yes, it''s He Hongshen''s car. I didn''t expect him to come too." An inexplicable color flashed in Huo Yingdong''s eyes, and said with a light smile. Zheng Yu, who was standing next to Huo Yingdong, glanced at him, smiled and did not speak. Of course he knew the grudge between Huo Yingdong and He Hongshen. Not to mention him, there are so many bigwigs on the scene, almost none of them don''t know, the things in it are complicated, but it''s not about them, there is no need to make a fuss. Besides, it is Xia Yu''s home court now, and they are good-looking people, so naturally they will not make any unpleasantness on such occasions and hit Xia Yu in the face. "Hey, He Hongshen brought his daughter here. It seems this is the first time I have seen it." Just when Li Jiacheng had some accidents, Xia Yu had already greeted him. "Xia Yu, long time no see!" When he saw He Chaoqiong''s figure in a white dress appeared, Xia Yu''s face moved slightly, and his smile remained the same. Before he walked over, he saw He Chaoqiong smiling like a flower and jogged over and said. "Chao Qiong, long time no see! How are you?" Xia Yu asked with a smile on his face. "It used to be bad." He Chaoqiong pursed his mouth and said bitterly, and in a blink of an eye it turned cloudy, and said with a grin: "But now I am doing well, because I saw you again." Seeing the joy and shyness in He Chaoqiong''s beautiful eyes, Xia Yu smiled, and looked at He Hongshen who had already walked over, and He Youguang beside him. "He Sheng, Youguang, thank you for your support!" Xia Yu and He Hongshen father and son shook hands and said with a smile, but their gazes clashed with that of He Hongshen. He Youguang beside him was not as innocent as his sister. He felt the momentary confrontation between his father and Xia Yu, and smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he couldn''t figure out his father''s thoughts, but yesterday he seemed to accidentally let his sister know that Xia Yu''s bank was opened today. Didn''t this bring her here today? It stands to reason that it is normal to see the world with his children, but considering the current situation and the relationship between Xia Yu and his younger sister, it seems that his father is quite interested. "please!" Then, Xia Yu accompanied He Hongshen and the three of them walked towards a group of big men, who also looked at He Hongshen. Especially when he saw He Chaoqiong talking to Xia Yu happily, and Xia Yu''s attitude was also very friendly, some bigwigs reacted differently, either thinking deeply, frowning, or moving. Everyone''s reaction was naturally seen by Xia Yu. He smiled back to He Chaoqiong, but a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. Yu Guang glanced at He Hongshen, who seemed to be unaware. Looking at He Chaoqiong who was full of joy again, Xia Yu could only smile bitterly in his heart. He Hongshen was too calculating, which made him unhappy. But these can only be said later, this time it was calculated by He Hongshen, and it will definitely bring him some trouble, and this matter will be calculated later. He Chaoqiong is He Chaoqiong, and He Hongshen is He Hongshen. No matter what He Hongshen has in mind, at least the girl in front of him has sincere feelings for him. He doesn''t know He Hongshen''s calculations. He can''t hurt her. He must take care of her feelings. "He Hongshen, if you want to make the distinction so clear, then you can''t blame me, the days are still long, I will let you lose your daughter and break down!" A light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes. "That''s the Governor''s car, MacLehose is here." Just when Xia Yu brought He Hongshen and others into the crowd, Guo Desheng suddenly said aloudWait, there was one in the car. Is that Shen Bi? " Bao Yugang suddenly saw the left rear door open, and an Englishman with a hooked nose and blond hair came down. He couldn''t help but raise his brow. "Xia Sheng, I didn''t expect McLehose and Shen Bi to also come, you really have enough face!" "I also sent the invitation, but I didn''t expect them to come. It was beyond my expectation." Xia Yu also had a slight surprise. At the same time, he sighed that Shen Bi was so broad-minded that he even participated in the opening ceremony of a competitor. Not everyone can do this. As for MacLehose''s arrival, it also surprised Xia Yu, thinking about MacLehose''s intentions. In his position, every move was intentional, especially when he personally participated in Xia Yu''s bank opening ceremony. It seems that this is the first time he and MacLehose have met directly! "Do you want to be together?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he went out to meet him, and many people followed Xia Yu. Few people can ignore the arrival of the top two in Xiangjiang. Even if they can''t make a good impression, there is no need to offend them. "Your Excellency, thank you for coming!" "Mr. Xia, congratulations on getting rich!" "Shen Sheng, thanks for joining us!" "Mr. Xia, you have all invited, I am definitely coming!" Xia Yu enthusiastically shook hands with MacLehose, Shen Bi and others. "Your Excellency, hello!" "Shen Sheng, lucky to meet!" ... The big guys behind Xia Yu also exchanged warm greetings with McLehose and Shen Bi. For a time, the scene was fierce. The arrival of Shen Bi and MacLehose made the surrounding people even more excited about eating melons. Many reporters were so excited that they kept pressing the shutter button, and they screamed in their hearts. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 440: Each has its own meaning "Boss, it''s time!" When a group of people returned to the waiting place again, Liu Tianci walked over, bowed slightly to Shen Bi, and then reminded Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said that he knew it. He was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face and asked: "I wonder if you are lucky enough to come on stage and cut the ribbon together?" "Xia Sheng, please, it''s a great honor!" "Of course, no problem!" "It''s my honor!" ... The big guys around agreed, and the ones that caught Xia Yu''s attention most were Shen Bi and McLehose, who also agreed. This scene made Liu Tianci overjoyed and couldn''t help clenching his fists. This is a complete surprise. With so many big-name platforms, Jiuding Bank''s reputation can definitely be smashed! Soon, a crowd of guests took their seats in the front row. Xia Yu and Liu Tianci took the stage first. Liu Tianci, as the host, first thanked the audience and guests, celebrated the opening of the bank, and introduced the cultural brand of Jiuding Bank. Five minutes passed without knowing it. "Let''s have a speech from our boss!" "Papa Papa..." Amidst fierce applause, Xia Yu took the microphone: "Dear guests, friends in front of the TV audience, good morning everyone! I am Xia Yu!" "With the strong support from all walks of life, after intense preparations, today my subsidiary Jiuding Bank opened!" "Standing on this stage, I have a lot of emotion in my heart. I walked all the way up and down, but now I look back suddenly, like a dream." "Jiuding Bank is now only a small bank, but I believe that with the strong support of outstanding management and friends from all walks of life, Jiuding Bank will definitely flourish." "As the boss of the bank, while wishing Jiuding Bank flourish, I also express my opinion." "Jiuding Bank puts honesty first. The Zunding placed in the lobby of the bank represents our banking purpose, and the bank is determined to provide the highest quality financial services for Hong Kong and Austrian customers all over the world." "My subsidiary Jiuding Securities will cooperate with Jiuding Bank..." Seeing Xia Yu talking on the stage, there is a charm in every gesture, He Chaoqiong is holding the pendant on his chest with her hands, her pretty face is smiling, and her beautiful eyes are full of confusion. This is the boy she likes, so outstanding, young, but able to let a group of big guys who have the same status as her father sit down and listen to him. When Xia Yu announced the cooperation with Jiuding Securities Co., the interested people who were eating melons or waiting around immediately cheered loudly, and the atmosphere burst in an instant. Many of the big guys sitting in the first row changed slightly, especially Shen Bi, whose brows couldn''t help but stretched out. He had long thought that Xia Yu would not give up such a big advantage. Although there was some pressure in his heart, he was not afraid. HSBC stands at the pinnacle of Hong Kong Island, and Jiuding Bank cannot easily attack it. It should be the small and medium-sized banks that are under pressure. The interest rate is not as high as Jiuding Bank, and it does not have the investment advantages of Jiuding Bank, and its security is not comparable. They are at a disadvantage in all aspects. Although the current Jiuding Bank is a small bank in terms of capital, it is not inferior to large banks in terms of strengths and advantages. The only thing lacking is capital! For Xia Yu, capital is the easiest to make up, and I believe that Jiuding Bank will grow rapidly. When Xia Yu gave a speech, MacLehose, who was in the middle of the first row, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Xia Yu carefully, his eyes were a little serious, then he smiled and continued watching with interest. After Xia Yu gave his speech, there was a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony. As a group of bigwigs came to the stage one after another, the audience continued to make exclamations and comments, especially as Liu Tianci introduced one by one as the host, which shocked more people who were not clear. My heart is about Jiuding Bank. Made a deep impression. At the scene, the people who were watching the live broadcast on Li''s TV station were also amazed. In Xiangjiang, the six major branches of Jiuding Bank, at this time, there is a lion dance performance at the door of each branch, attracting a group of people to watch, and at the gate of the branch, there are two TVs showing the headquarters of Jiuding Bank. The opening live broadcast, the managers and employees of Jiuding Bank branch watched at the door, and did not start business. Suddenly, when Xia Yu and others in front of the TV took up scissors and cut the ribbon, the camera photographed the red cloth from the plaque at the headquarters of Jiuding Bank was removed, and four bronzing characters "Jiuding Bank" appeared! Seeing this, the managers of many branches held the microphones to announce the opening of the bank loudly in accordance with the planned plan, and then also removed the red cloth covering the branch plaque. This scene happened simultaneously in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore and other places. After the announcement of the opening, the customers who had been watching and waiting immediately swarmed into the major branches, and the managers and employees were busy and orderly busy. Headquarters of Jiuding Bank. After the ribbon-cutting, it was show time, but Xia Yu and the big guys didn''t care. Except for some people leaving on business, some others went upstairs to drink tea at the invitation of Xia Yu. At this moment, MacLehose and Shen Bi proposed to leave, and Xia Yu personally sent them off. "Your Excellency, thank you for your support. It is a great honor!" Before MacLehose was about to get into the car, Xia Yu shook his hands again and said thankfully. Today¡¯s opening ceremony, with MacLehose¡¯s platform, can give Jiuding Bank a certain degree of influence. At least the bank¡¯s authority will be improved. Xia Yu owes him a favor. "Mr. Xia, no thanks. I also hope that the development of Hong Kong''s financial industry will get better and better. I believe you will definitely have a good impact on the financial industry." MacLehose said politely. "Thank you!" Xia Yu thanked him politely. MacLehose watched Xia Yu quietly for two seconds, and then said with profound meaning: "Mr. Xia, the times are changing too fast now. I hope that before I leave office, I can develop Xiangjiang to a higher level and better. All this It is inseparable from a stable and orderly business environment." Xia Yu moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right. As a businessman, I also hope to have a good business environment. For this, I absolutely support Your Excellency." MacLehose nodded with a smile, and said: "Of course I also know that there must be competition in business. Reasonable business competition can also promote economic prosperity, but sometimes too much is too late." Xia Yu didn''t change her face, still smiling, and staring at MacLehose, and said: "Your Excellency is right. There is competition for development." MacLehose smiled and nodded, looked at his watch, and said goodbye to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, it''s getting late. I have something to do, so I''ll leave it first." "take care!" Xia Yu kept smiling, until MacLehose''s car left, he narrowed his smile. "The carrot and the stick? Haha..." He chuckled twice and walked back. MacLehose''s words just now had the meaning of warning, but it was very euphemistic, and I felt that there was no need to make enemies with Xia Yu. And at the beginning, he sold Xia Yu''s face, and now it is even more impossible to irritate Xia Yu. In fact, Xia Yu also understands MacLehose¡¯s difficulties. The death of the three old John and his son is absolutely unavoidable for him as the governor of Hong Kong. It can be said that he suffered a disaster. Although there is no evidence and there is no way to take Xia Yu, but also Will not fail to show their attitude. Stability and business environment, as well as reasonable business competition, these two points are MacLehose''s attitude and the boundaries he drew. For Xiangjiang to be stable, this kind of thing cannot happen again. Although MacLehose didn''t point to Xia Yu, the deep meaning of it is Xia Yuming. Xia Yu will definitely be treated specially next, if Xia Yu does something like this again, MacLehose will never endure it anymore. Of course, when Xia Yu wanted to come, MacLehose would have this attitude towards others. As for reasonable business competition, it is also MacLehose''s attitude, which means that competition is within a certain range and he will not care. However, this scope has been clear. If it is reasonable or commercial, it must be upright, so that people cannot blame it. For MacLehose''s request, Xia Yu''s last words were the answer. In fact, even if MacLehose doesn''t say anything, Xia Yu will not make trouble again. During this time, he has to accumulate his strength. Even if there is competition, it is a formal business competition. As for making trouble? Xia Yu believed that with this **** lesson, no one would dare to play yin with him without opening his eyes. What''s more, he is not a person who likes to cause troubles. When is it not someone else''s first to break the bottom line? He was forced to fight back? Back in the big living room, He Chaoqiong, who was looking forward to seeing him for the first time, saw that Xia Yu was not so busy. She separated from He Youguang who was in the crowd of young people, and happily said softly in Xia Yu''s ear: "Xia Yu , You are really amazing. I didn¡¯t expect you to open a bank. Just now I saw the downstairs crowded with customers. Congratulations!" "Thank you, Chao Qiong, I didn''t expect you to come. I''m very happy. I haven''t seen you for so long. You are more beautiful again." Xia Yu said with a smile. "really?" He Chaoqiong was very pleasantly surprised when he heard Xia Yu''s praise. There was a touch of shyness on her pretty face, and her heart was sweet. "of course it''s true!" Xia Yu definitely nodded. ... There are two groups not far away, one is a group of young people Many of these big guys do not come alone, but take this opportunity to bring younger generations over, wanting them to have more contact with Xia Yu . At this time, He Youguang, Xu Jinheng, Zhao Guanglin, Lin Jianle and a group of people were chatting, but their eyes were always looking at Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong with different expressions. But the big guys in the other group also had different thoughts. Bao Yugang looked at He Hongshen who was drinking tea quietly opposite, and tentatively asked: "He Sheng, I didn''t expect the lady to meet Xia Sheng. We really didn''t expect it." "Yes, He Sheng, you hide deep enough." Li Zhaoji said with a light smile, but his eyes were fixed on He Hongshen. Others are also paying attention, wanting to know what is going on. After all, Xia Yu''s energy is too great and his wrists are amazing. If he is **** by He Hongshen, and under the strong alliance, it will have a great impact on the pattern of Hong Kong and Macao. Especially Huo Yingdong and others, who had been close to Xia Yu for a long time, had to be solemn, secretly saying that He Hongshen was a shameless old fox. He Hongshen smiled and said, "Maybe their young people are more congenial. I don''t know when Chao Qiong and Xia Sheng met. I only know they met today." Pooh! Lie to the ghost! He Hongshen didn''t tell the truth, and others couldn''t help it, but they all made up their minds to get a good understanding of them so that they could have a countermeasure. Seeing everyone''s reaction, He Hongshen didn''t change his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. He Hongshen was a little cautious. Of course Xia Yu knew it, so he was also very careful. After chatting with He Chaoqiong for a while, he didn''t neglect other people, and sent the reluctant He Chaoqiong back to He Youguang''s side, and then socialized with other people. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ Chapter 441: No disaster With a live broadcast on TV, the opening ceremony of Jiuding Bank caused a great sensation. Many people knew that the stock **** opened a bank and the interest rate was high. Jiuding Securities opened an internal fund specifically for Jiuding Bank¡¯s customers, which made more and more Many citizens went to Jiuding Bank to open an account. And this phenomenon was even more crazy the next day. After all, many people did not watch TV in the morning and did not see the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of Jiuding Bank. But the next day, not only the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company, but almost all newspapers in Hong Kong reported the news of the opening of Jiuding Bank. Many big bosses joined the Jiuding Bank platform, and even the rival HSBC Chairman Shen Bi and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose came. Which news is not the hot spot in the hot spot? If these news are not reported, they will be a fart newspaper. Moreover, those newspaper owners also know that reporting other news at this juncture will definitely be overwhelmed. In the face of absolute public opinion, their small arms and legs can''t resist it. It''s better to take advantage of the trend and still have a sip of soup. Therefore, on the second day, the market was full of news about the opening of Jiuding Bank, and people watched or talked on the streets, buses, exchanges, and so on. Even this news is spread throughout Southeast Asia because of the huge distribution system of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Within a day, Jiuding Bank was completely on fire! It seems that the whole world is talking about Jiuding Bank. "Xia Yu, there are so many people, they can''t be squeezed, and along the way, I don''t know how many people are talking about Jiuding Bank, you are really good!" At the door of a branch in the eastern part of Kowloon, Xia Yu and Li Qian wore casual clothes. Xia Yu wore a peaked cap and Li Qian wore a lace dome hat. They were not found. Seeing the crowds in the branch and several security guards keeping order, Li Qian hugged Xia Yu''s arm, cheered and said, happy for Xia Yu from the heart. "This is the role of propaganda and public opinion." Xia Yu smiled, looked at the white face of the girl beside him, and explained. "Yeah! Xia Yu, you started a newspaper company from the beginning. It''s a long-term view. It''s amazing." Li Qianzhen said lightly, looking at Xia Yu''s beautiful eyes full of obsession. The more she understood Xia Yu, the deeper Li Qian fell. It was the first time that she knew that there was such a good boy in the world. Even if he looked good, he was strong in every aspect. Normally, he always looks calm and unreliable, but he plans the overall situation in a calm manner, winning thousands of miles away, and still invincible! Li Qian, who is deeply educated in Chinese culture, has no resistance to such men. "Maybe, Xia Yu is the same as Zhou Gongjin of Dongwu in the Three Kingdoms period, except that Xia Yu didn''t hold a feather fan and wore a Lun towel?" Suddenly Li Qian''s thinking diverged, thinking of this, she couldn''t help but chuck out: "Chuck..." "what happened?" Hearing Li Qian''s sweet smile, Xia Yu looked at her with some doubts and asked softly. Seeing Xia Yu''s eyes, Li Qian blushed, blinking her big beautiful eyes, and said softly: "I just thought of Zhou Yu in ancient times. Suddenly I feel that you are very similar to him!" When Xia Yu heard the words, he raised his brows and couldn''t help but smile happily, caressed Li Qian''s jade hand, and Noyu said, "Then you want to call me Xia Dudu?" "My dear Captain Xia, is it all right?" Li Qian looked at Xia Yu angrily, and suddenly shouted softly. "Haha!" "Then you are my little Joe!" Xia Yu smiled cheerfully. Li Qian''s face is blushing, her smile is like a flower, her beautiful eyes are full of joy and shyness, and her heart is full of joy. "Little Joe?" "I will do my best to handle the trivial matters for you. I can''t help you too much in my career, but when you are tired and uncomfortable, I will definitely be by your side." Li Qian thought to herself, her pink lips pressed unconsciously, her eyes full of firmness, she wanted to be a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous helper. Feeling the changes in the people around him, Xia Yu looked at her suspiciously, but Li Qian didn''t explain, and Xia Yu didn''t care. "Go, let''s go back." "Hmm!" ... Hong Kong Development Bank, a small bank in Hong Kong, was created by a small wealthy Qian family in Hong Kong. Starting from a bank, it has opened three branches in more than 30 years, and its bank assets have exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The new owner, Qian Benwei, manages well. It is precisely because of this achievement that he took over as the head of the family. After taking over, he took care of the bank more conscientiously, and wanted to lead the family to continue to be strong and squeeze into the top of the Hong Kong. In the past two days, as the general manager of the Hong Kong Development Bank, he was in a bad mood. Standing at the gate, watching users withdrawing money from the Hong Kong Development Bank, eagerly rushed to the queue at Jiuding Bank diagonally opposite, he felt that he was stabbed again in his heart. In the past two days, he didn''t know how many knives he had been stabbed, and his heart had already been pierced. At the beginning, he discovered that a shop diagonally across the street had been rented out, and then remodeled it. He didn''t take it seriously. But after the unveiling yesterday, he panicked and turned out to be a branch of Jiuding Bank. Luckily, he drove diagonally across from his bank headquarters. Then the nightmare came. After seeing the advantages of Jiuding Bank''s publicity, he was alert for the first time, but there was no way. He could only watch a large group of users rush into Jiuding Bank to open accounts and deposits. This was just jealous. Then something frightened him. Many depositors of the Hong Kong Development Bank came to the bank lobby, all of them came to withdraw money, and then ran to Jiuding Bank to deposit with the banknotes. Qian Benwei wanted to stop it, but his reason told him that he couldn''t stop it. Therefore, he could only watch more and more users withdraw money, and he still took it all at once! What this means, Qian Benwei knows very well! These customers are planning to abandon the Hong Kong Development Bank and completely plunge into the arms of Jiuding Bank. And Qian Benwei also knew that if these customers were snatched by Jiuding Bank, it would be difficult for Hong Kong Development Bank to **** them back! Jiuding Bank not only grabbed the present of the Hong Kong Development Bank, but also the future that originally belonged to the Hong Kong Development Bank! But let him think hard, in the face of such a big advantage of Jiuding Bank, the Hong Kong Development Bank can not come up with a corresponding level of response policies. From yesterday to now, the three branches of the Hong Kong Development Bank have lost 980,000 deposits! It was only the next day. The branch of Jiuding Bank is opposite to the Hong Kong Development Bank, which means that it will continue to face competition from Jiuding Bank in the future. If the comparison continues for a long time, the Hong Kong Development Bank will definitely lose more and more deposits and users. On the contrary, a large part of the money deposited by depositors is used for investment and lending, and the bank does not have a lot of liquid funds. If they draw more, it will cause the Hong Kong Development Bank to tighten its capital chain and increase bank risks. In case the user cannot withdraw the money, it will cause market panic; or the investment cannot be recovered, it will cause the bank to lose moneyThe Hong Kong Development Bank will be unlucky, and it is not impossible to fail! Increasing interest rates on deposits is not easy to move. Interest rates are the foundation of banks. If they affect the whole body, they will lose money if they are not careful. Even in Qian Benwei''s view, Jiuding Bank''s advantages are all-round. Even if the Hong Kong Development Bank raises the deposit interest rate, it is still difficult to retain customers who want to leave. After all, Jiuding Bank still has the big killer of Jiuding Securities Company to open funds. "No catastrophe, Jiuding Bank targets all banks, but it has the most lethality for small and medium-sized banks like us. This is a naked conspiracy, hey..." Looking at the crowded scene diagonally again, the envy, jealousy and hatred in Qian Benwei''s heart finally turned into a bitter sigh. What can you do if you are not as strong as people? "Forget it, let''s study first, whether you want to raise interest rates or not. If you can block it, you will just be indifferent." After thinking about it, Qian Benwei, with a heavy heart, went to the Hong Kong Development Bank. Chapter 442: 500 million In an instant it was another two days. If Jiuding Bank was still a little rushed by the hot situation two days ago, then it has adapted now and Jiuding Bank is officially on the right track. Xia Yu once again came to the Jiuding Building to check the situation, and happened to see Liu Tianci who was setting up. He was not in the Jiuding Bank Building, but came to the Jiuding Building. "God, you are here." Xia Yu shouted, Liu Tianci turned his head and looked out the door, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Boss, you are here too." "Ok!" "The progress is fast!" Xia Yu walked in and looked around for a week, and found that the office space was almost laid out, and said with satisfaction. "After all, it''s on the first floor. You have bought the office supplies boss, so you can arrange them so quickly." Liu Tianci said with a smile. "By the way, how is the bank situation?" Looking around, then found a table to sit down, Xia Yu asked with concern. Upon hearing Xia Yu''s question, Liu Tianci smiled. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the situation these days. "Boss, now our bank''s total deposits have reached 520 million Hong Kong dollars, and the current capital is more than 340 million." Liu Tianci reported happily. Xia Yu raised his brows, a little surprised, and then smiled: "Yes, I remember that the total deposit in the bank only exceeded 200 million, right now it has doubled 1.5 times in just a few days?" Liu Tianci explained: "Originally, our bank deposits were about 200 million yuan, we lent 190 million yuan, and our working capital was only 10 million yuan, but you asked me to collect debts, excluding high-risk loans, and I got back about 50 million yuan. We did not lend out any more, so before the bank opened, we had 60 million working capital." "This newly increased deposit of 320 million is also thanks to your contacts, the boss. Those who came at the opening ceremony have basically opened accounts and sent some of their company''s flow to our bank." "Some deposits are hundreds of thousands, and there are also several million. The more deposits are 10 to 20 million. The most is He Hongshen''s Shun Tak Group who opened an account in our bank and directly deposited 30 million Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu was quite happy when he first heard Liu Tianci''s account, but when he finally heard He Hongshen, Xia Yu couldn''t help frowning slightly and stretched out. These big guys opened an account at Jiuding Bank, in fact, to show their favor to Xia Yu and express their closeness to Xia Yu. Like their big guys, which bank is not asking them to open an account and do business? So there is no need for them to open new accounts. However, Jiuding Bank is Xia Yu''s bank, and it was at its weakest hour when it first opened. Therefore, it was also when they maximized the benefits of favors, they would naturally not let go. Savings is only a small matter, and opening a company account is the big one. After all, those big guys have many companies under them. Even if only one or two companies have opened an account, the company''s flow is going to be in Jiuding Bank, and it will be terrible in one year. Xia Yu has more places to operate. In fact, it is equivalent to sending money to Xia Yu, but they must send the money, except to open a bank by themselves, otherwise there is no other way, it depends on which cooperative bank they are willing to give. It''s just He Hongshen... "Forget it, don''t care about him, can I still eat it in my mouth?" Xia Yu thought to himself. "By the way, except for these big customers, what about ordinary customers?" Xia Yu asked with concern. Compared with these bigwigs, it is the ordinary customers who can see the status quo of Jiuding Bank. After all, the big bosses also open a wave. In the long run, Jiuding Bank will still be based on the general public. The general public is the foundation of a commercial bank. Fortunately, this did not disappoint Xia Yu. He just heard Liu Tianci continue to say: "In the past few days, our ordinary customers'' deposits have increased by about 34 million. This is the latest data. Now every branch is still full. As long as Jiuding Bank No. 1 Fund and Jiuding Bank No. 2 Fund are not full, this phenomenon should not stop." "Thirty-four million? Not bad!" Hearing this number, Xia Yu smiled. "No, so the working capital should be 380 million. You just said it was 340 million, meaning that more than 40 million bought the fund?" Suddenly, Xia Yu contemplated his eyebrows, and said in doubt. "Yes, the 34 million ordinary customers have basically bought funds. Our original depositors have also bought funds. All the money is transferred to the exclusive accounts of the two funds. The bank has no right to operate. ." Liu Tianci explained. Xia Yu nodded slightly, and said nonchalantly: "It doesn''t matter, the fund will always be capped. By that time, the new depositors will now be able to use the money they deposit later." "Yes! Now is the time to grab customers. Use the prestige of the securities company to help the bank grab customers. Although you can''t get the money temporarily, the bank has the future." Liu Tianci nodded and said, looking very open, not depressed. As he said, these clients who will buy funds are actually coming to Jiuding Securities Company. If there is no cooperation with Jiuding Securities Company, it is hard to say whether they will come to Jiuding Bank to open an account. Although their current money is used to buy the fund, as long as the fund is topped up, the money they will earn in the future will be deposited in their account with Jiuding Bank, and Jiuding Bank can use their money to make money. . According to Liu Tianci''s estimation, combined with what he learned from Wang Qi, at this rate, the two funds will be suspended for at most half a month, and he is not worried at all. In order to get ahead in the next fundraising, those customers will still come to Jiuding Bank to open an account. This kind of cooperation is a win-win situation! Jiuding Securities took a wave of money, and Jiuding Bank gained customers and the future. This is the advantage of large consortiums. Internal companies cooperate with each other and share resources, which can maximize the benefits and allow various companies to develop rapidly. Therefore, in order to continue to expand this advantage, Xia Yu must integrate its subsidiaries together, and fight together to be invincible! "Not bad, continue to maintain to make Jiuding Bank into the ranks of the top banks in Hong Kong as soon as possible." "Also, the threshold for lending bank deposits has increased, blocking those inferior companies out of the door and giving priority to lending to my subordinate companies. Of course, if a company is not worse than mine, it can be treated equally." Xia Yu said inspiringly, and put forward matters needing attention. "Don''t worry, boss! I know!" Liu Tianci said confidently. After that, Xia Yu walked around the Jiuding Building again for a while to learn about the layout progress of each company. When he came to the fifth floor and watched the decoration workers install the big sign of Jiuding Culture and Media Group on the windows, Xia Yu''s heart moved and thought of going to the TV station to see the situation. After all, among the several subsidiaries of Jiuding Culture Media Group, the other companies are ready, just wait for the TV station. As long as the TV station is in place, Jiuding Culture Media Group will come out! Chapter 443: Swallow thousands of miles like a tiger I went to the TV station, but Xia Yu was satisfied, because Huang Xizhao was about to ask him for instructions on changing the logo. Xia Yu did not hesitate and asked Huang Xi Lighting to hold a press conference to announce the reforms, and then officially launched the new logo. . In addition to the renaming and change of the logo, the progress of several other tasks is also amazing. The first is the screenwriting department and the planning department, which have been put into operation. Although the operation is a bit rusty, after Xia Yu checked it, he was still satisfied. These two systems only need to keep adapting and getting on the right track in accordance with the written regulations, and the effect will gradually appear. There are two TV series being filmed, which also slowed down the shooting progress. The director was called by Mai Danxiong and others to improve the script. I believe the TV series will definitely be more exciting in the later stage. And the global brokerage company has also been registered. Although the manpower is not enough for the time being, Huang Xizhao personally checks it, and first assigns the brokerage contract for the internal personnel of the TV station. Many celebrities are uncomfortable with this sudden change of the TV station. The less famous ones don''t feel much, but the famous ones feel restrained. But as the saying goes, life is like that, if you can''t resist, then try to enjoy it! After all, Xiangjiang is now a TVB in addition to Universal TV. The current situation is that Universal TV is about to rise. The boss stock **** is holding other newspapers and other propaganda tools. It has abundant resources, strong strength and very attractive prospects! Coupled with TVB¡¯s Shao Yifu¡¯s consistent stingy reputation and the fierce competition for the position of TVB, it is not suitable for them to switch jobs. Under comprehensive consideration, they can only sign a ten or twenty-year long contract with a global brokerage company. After the signing, they can only pray that Universal Television can praise them higher. Of course, because of the urgent time, the contract has been signed so far by cutting-edge, high-value artists. The middle and low-level artists will take their time. Huang Xizhao is confident that as long as they are not stupid, they will never switch to TVB. In addition to these few tasks, the most important thing is the work of digging people. The results are quite fruitful. Xia Yu laughed after reading the list. Because the list of personnel dug up is basically consistent with the original list. The head of Jiashi Huadan, Mi Yue, Wei Qiuhua, Wen Xueer, Yang Panpan, Zheng Yuling and others have all dug over. Popular Xiaosheng Bai Biao, Luo Lelin, Chen Qiang, etc., famous supporting actors Qin Huang, Yang Zelin, Liu Dan, Liu Jiang, Zheng Lei, etc., as well as behind-the-scenes talents Xu Meng, Lin Lingdong, Liang Fengyi, Xiao Sheng, Wu Weiguo, Lin Yanni and others , All were included in the bag. And because Jiashi stopped broadcasting and violated the labor contract signed at the time, coupled with the fact that Xiangjiang''s brokerage company system has not yet been rolled out, Universal Brokerage can be regarded as the first. So these artists now have a very high degree of freedom. Many artists left their jobs directly, and then came to Universal Agency and entered Universal Television without spending a penny. In addition to drawing a pie, Universal Television basically did not spend any cost, and it collected so many golden knots. Xia Yu couldn''t help but lament that it is a good time. Of course, the job-hopping of these artists has accelerated Jiashi''s falling speed for Jiashi who has fallen off the cliff. Now basically everyone knows that Jiashi is not saved, except for a TV license, which is of little value. But this TV license is also a pit. Some people with vision know that the daily fixed and long education program time is an important factor in killing Jiashi. With the lessons learned from Jiashi, no one dared to receive this license plate. After all, there are not many families that can match the original Jiashi backer. Especially now, after Xia Yu, a big boss, entered the TV industry, which is not a big industry, no one rushed in stupidly. Whether he has the ability or not, the most important thing is that money is not necessarily better than Xia Yu. So just eat melon and watch the two tigers fight each other! ... Seeing the tiredness and distress between Huang Xizhao''s eyebrows, Xia Yu asked, "Is there any trouble? Just say it, there is no other impact." Xia Yu¡¯s words dispelled Huang Xizhao¡¯s concerns. He considered it for a moment and confided the truth: "Boss, I can do the job of the TV station. This is the global agency. I have no idea now. I don¡¯t know how to operate after all the artists have signed. ." To put it bluntly, it was this aspect that touched the blind spot of his ability! Xia Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "It''s not to blame you, our global brokerage company is the first formal brokerage company in Hong Kong. You are not good at operation and normal! It''s great to have the courage to say it!" He was not criticized, but praised, which made Huang Xizhao relieved. "Let me think about it!" Xia Yu spoke, condensing his eyebrows in thought. He wondered who is suitable to be the helmsman of the global brokerage company and put the global brokerage company on the right track of rapid development. "It seems that I''ve heard of some of the big gold brokers from Xiangjiang in my previous life, Horshwen? No, she should be young in this era." "By the way, it seems that the first gold-medal broker should not be successful. It seems to be Mrs. Chen? Chen... Chen Shufen, yes, she is the one who vaguely remembers that Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Chenrong, Mei Yanfang, Zhou Huajian and others were all discovered by him. from!" Xia Yu''s eyes lit up, and he remembered a big sister from the entertainment industry. "It''s her. Although she may be younger and a little bit of suspicion of facilitating, it is too difficult to find a more suitable person in Xiangjiang." Thinking of this, Xia Yu instructed Huang Xizhao: "Xizhao, you go find someone called Chen Shufen, who should be hired by a company under the Radio Television Station to serve as the general manager of the global brokerage company." Huang Xizhao was a little confused. He didn''t know how the boss knew about this person, but he didn''t ask sensibly. He nodded respectfully and replied, "Good boss, I will dig her over as soon as possible." Huang Xizhao didn''t care about Chen Shufen as the general manager of Universal Brokerage Company. Since Universal Brokerage Company is a subsidiary of Universal Television Station, it is not necessary to listen to him. "Well, as soon as possible, when the company is integrated, the universal brokerage company will come in." Xia Yu exhorted again. "understand!" ... The next day, Li''s TV station held a press conference again. This time, Xia Yu did not show up, but put Huang Xizhao in charge. At the press conference, Huang Xizhao''s first major announcement was the news of the name change that had been circulated. From today, Li''s TV station will disappear and replaced by Universal TV. And at the same time as the announcement, the red cloth was removed, revealing the big sign of Universal Television , and the television station logo was replaced with an exquisite spherical logo. After the press conference, the entire HeungKong media and entertainment industry shook again, and the general audience was deeply moved. Universal Television! From the name, you can see Xia Yu''s ambitious goals and broad pattern. There is quite a majestic aura of sword pointing at the pinnacle of the world, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. The major newspapers that are not too big to watch the excitement have spontaneously joined the hype army. While touting the Universal Television Station, they did not forget to bring the TVB station in for comparison. Under the ingenious writings of many editors, readers couldn''t help but boiled with enthusiasm. It seemed that a fierce battle in the television industry was about to happen. As the only opponent, TVB is naturally vigilant and has stepped up the deployment of corresponding countermeasures. Amidst all these disturbances, Xia Yu finally began the final process of integration! Chapter 444: Huang Xizhao was shocked "Let''s go, let''s go in!" Early in the morning, I came to the downstairs of Jiuding Building and looked at the signboards of the super-large Jiuding Media Group hanging silently, and the signs of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. hanging on different floors. Xia Yu smiled expectantly and said to Li Qian beside him. "Ok!" Then, Xia Yu everyone walked into the building. The employees of Jiuding News immediately greeted Xia Yu respectfully, and then watched Xia Yu disappear into the elevator with admiration. Soon, Xia Yu came to the 27th floor. Walking into the conference room, Xia Yu saw Yan Wenhan, Gavin Peter and others talking in full swing. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, everyone immediately stopped talking, stood up respectfully and said hello in unison: "Boss, good morning!" "Good morning!" Xia Yu responded with a smile. After that, Xia Yu went straight to the top position and sat down, while Li Qian sat next to Xia Yu, recording the relevant meeting content as a secretary. Xia Yu¡¯s face was smiling, and his eyes scanned the faces of five people, including Yan Wenhan, Gavin Peter, Ma Tengdong, Huang Xizhao, and Zhang Lei. They nodded in a good mood and said, ¡°Before the meeting, please introduce yourself to each other. As well as his own position, the colleagues present deepen the impression. "Yan Wenhan, you come first!" In the envious eyes of several others, Xia Yu took the lead in naming Yan Wenhan''s name. After all, whether it is strength or qualifications, Yan Wenhan ranks first among the five. "Okay, boss!" Yan Wenhan first nodded respectfully to Xia Yu, and then began to introduce himself. "Hello everyone, I am Yan Wenhan. I am valued by my boss. Now I am the general manager of Jiuding Newspaper Company and the general manager of Jiuding News Agency. "Hello everyone, I am Ma Tengdong and I am the general manager of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd." "Hello everyone, I am Gavin Peter, and I am now the general manager of Jiuding Book Publishing Company." "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Lei, and I was appointed by the boss as the general manager of Jiuding Printing Factory." "Hello everyone, I am Huang Xizhao, and I am now the general manager of Universal Television." After the introduction, Xia Yu slightly nodded and said, "Very well, now everyone knows it, so let''s start today''s meeting." "You should all know, but I still have to make a solemn announcement." "From today onwards, Jiuding Culture Media Group has been formally established. At present, it has six subsidiaries, namely Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Printing Factory and Universal Television, all subsidiaries All are equal." "And the group set up a board of directors, I serve as chairman, Yan Wenhan, Gavin Peter, Ma Tengdong, Huang Xizhao, Zhang Lei, you five serve as board directors." When Yan Wenhan heard the words, his eyebrows were instantly overjoyed, and they quickly thanked: "Thank you, Chairman!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and continued: "The five of you continue to be in charge of your respective fields according to the current situation, and are only responsible to me." "But when it comes to group strategy issues, I will hold a board meeting like today to study specific plans at the board meeting, and each company must cooperate with each other." "From now on, you can''t just look at the one-acre three-centred land in front of you. You have to look at a higher level. While growing yourself, you must do your best to help the entire group grow. Each company is a brother. Remember?" "remember!" Xia Yu''s expression was serious and his eyes were torch. They swept across the faces of Yan Wenhan, Ma Tengdong and others. Everyone nodded solemnly in response, and Xia Yu looked back. "Very good. Next, before studying the strategy of the group, you first tell the details and results of the companies you manage. Those who are not in their turn will listen carefully and think carefully about which aspects are worth learning from and which aspects can be used. How much resources can be shared in cooperation with each other depends on your requirements." Before going further, Xia Yu once again pointed out the importance, making Yan Wenhan and the others feel terrified, and they all sat downright and concentrated. "Yan Wenhan, it''s still your start to introduce the situation and results of the two companies." Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan and called again. Yan Wenhan nodded towards Xia Yu, took a deep breath, opened the prepared documents, and said in a right voice: "Dear Chairman, colleagues, now I will introduce the relevant situation of Jiuding Newspaper Company." "Jiuding Newspaper currently has two business segments: newspapers and magazines. Among them, "Jiuding Daily" has the highest daily circulation, reaching 1.48 million copies, with distribution throughout Asia. Among them, Xiangjiang...monthly advertising revenue is 5.54 million Hong Kong dollars." "Fengyun Daily has a daily circulation of 1.28 million copies, and its distribution covers the entire Asia. Among them, Xiangjiang...Omen...Monthly advertising revenue is 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars." "Sing Tao Daily" has a daily circulation of 430,000 copies, and its distribution covers the entire Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions. Among them, Hong Kong..." "The South China Morning Post has a daily circulation of 310,000 copies, and its distribution covers the entire Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions. Among them, Xiangjiang...monthly advertising revenue is 950,000 Hong Kong dollars." "Nanyang Commercial Daily has a daily circulation of 250,000 copies, and the distribution scope is Southeast Asia, of which Malaysia...monthly advertising revenue is 730,000 Hong Kong dollars." "Sin Chew Daily" has a monthly circulation of 240,000 copies and is distributed in Southeast Asia, of which Malaysia... has a monthly advertising revenue of 700,000 Hong Kong dollars." ""Tiantian Daily" has a monthly circulation of 190,000 copies, and the distribution scope is Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Among them, Xiangjiang...monthly advertising revenue is 530,000 Hong Kong dollars." "The "English Standard" has a monthly circulation of 90,000 copies, with the distribution scope of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, including Hong Kong..." "The newspaper business has a total daily circulation of 4.27 million copies. Excluding the newly reissued "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard", the newspaper business''s highest monthly advertising revenue is 13.45 million Hong Kong dollars." Hearing this whether it is Gavin Peter, Ma Tengdong, Zhang Lei, or Huang Xizhao, their eyes widened. Especially Huang Xizhao, who has the least qualifications and the least knowledge, was shocked and couldn''t help swallowing. Because Jiuding Newspaper Company does not announce its financial reports to the outside world at all, the outside world does not know the inside story of Jiuding Newspaper Company at all. However, he did not expect that Jiuding Newspaper Company was so powerful that its monthly advertising revenue reached 13.45 million Hong Kong dollars, far exceeding the original Li TV station. According to this calculation, Jiuding Newspaper Company''s advertising revenue for one year can buy the original Li TV station. This is horrible! "No, this is only the income from the newspaper business of Jiuding Newspaper Company. There is another powerful magazine business under Jiuding Newspaper Company, my God..." When Huang Xizhao was shocked by his own thoughts, he heard Yan Wenhan continue to announce the situation and results of Jiuding Newspaper¡¯s magazine business. Chapter 445: Awesome companies "Magazine business, in addition to the planned magazine project, currently only the "Economic Weekly" magazine has been issued, with a weekly circulation of 1.26 million copies and distribution throughout Asia, of which Xiangjiang...weekly advertising revenue is 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars." "So far, after paying off the debt, excluding various expenses, Jiuding Newspaper Company has 35.74 million Hong Kong dollars in working capital." "hiss¡­¡­" Speaking of the final funds, Huang Xizhao, Ma Tengdong and others took a breath of air, and their eyes were full of shock. And Xia Yu smiled. Although he had understood the situation before, he heard it again with a heartfelt joy. The 35.74 million Hong Kong dollars is the accumulated liquidity since the establishment of Jiuding Newspaper Company. It should not have been so small, but under Xia Yu''s instructions, Yan Wenhan took out part of the bank loan to repay. In order to acquire Nanyang Commercial Daily, Sin Chew Daily and South China Morning Post, Yan Wenhan went to the bank for loans under Xia Yu''s instructions. After several months of development, the value of Jiuding News has soared. The value of the shares that had taken out the mortgage soared, so under Xia Yu¡¯s instructions, the loan was repaid. Anyway, when it was short of money, Jiuding News The company can re-loan at any time, and there is no need to pay more interest. "In addition to business, Jiuding Newspaper currently has a total of 435 employees, including 247 at the Xiangjiang headquarters; it has 14 branches in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, island countries, Malaysia, Indonesia..." "The above is all the situation of Jiuding Newspaper Company." After Yan Wenhan finished speaking, he put down the documents in his hand and looked at Xia Yu quietly. "Very good, continue to introduce the next company." Xia Yu nodded with a smile, gave Yan Wenhan an appreciative look, and said. Yan Wenhan understood, took a sip of water, and continued to take out the second document, which read the five characters "Jiuding News Agency". Turning to the first page, Yan Wenhan continued to read: "Jiuding News Agency, established in...Currently, it has 1 news processing center, 74 offices and stations in Asia, Europe, America, and Oceania. The capital achieves full coverage, with a total of 787 employees in the company, including 214 employees at the Xiangjiang headquarters..." "Jiuding News Agency now has 103 cooperative media, including 8 TV stations, 12 radio stations, and 83 newspapers. The news agency has achieved a balance of revenue and expenditure. Last month¡¯s business income was 5.41 million. Because the news agency continues to invest in expansion, the company¡¯s current liquidity is only 1.39 million." "At present, Jiuding News Agency is the largest news agency in Hong Kong, but there is still a long way to go." "Boss, colleagues, my report is over!" "Papa Papa!" Xia Yu took the lead in applauding, the others immediately followed and clapped vigorously, looking at Yan Wenhan''s eyes full of admiration and envy. Those present here are all elites. After Yan Wenhan''s introduction, they have an intuitive impression of Jiuding News Agency and Jiuding News Agency, and they are indeed the leaders in the two fields. Even if they no longer grow and maintain their current development status, the two companies can achieve an operating income of 300 million Hong Kong dollars in total, and the gross profit is absolutely high, which can not only bring excellent influence to the boss, but also provide a huge amount of funds. And the two companies together have more than 1,000 employees, affecting more than 1,000 families. There are still many people who rely on these two companies to make extra money, such as contributing articles, providing news, etc., and their influence is even more amazing. Compared with Yan Wenhan, Ma Tengdong and others are a little ashamed, but there is not a sense of fighting spirit in their hearts. Everyone''s reaction was caught in Xia Yu''s eyes. The corners of his mouth were curved, and instead of making any other comments, he directly clicked on the second person and said: "Gavin Peter, introduce the situation of Jiuding Book Publishing Company." Gavin Peter first nodded to Xia Yu, then glanced around everyone''s faces and said: "Dear Chairman, colleagues, now I will introduce the relevant situation of Jiuding Book Publishing Company." "So far, Jiuding Book Publishing Company has established a firm foothold in the publishing field and achieved its occupation of the martial arts publishing field. In the latest month, nine of the ten martial arts books with the highest sales on the market were published by our company." "The sales volume of the boss''s "Looking for the Qin" has reached 3.65 million copies, and the total sales volume of five volumes has reached 17.2 million copies, setting a world record for martial arts sales and also a modern Chinese sales record." "In addition, one of the company¡¯s sales has reached one million, 8 of which has sold more than 500,000 copies, and 19 of which has sold more than 200,000 copies. Jiuding Book Publishing Company already has a martial arts holy land. Reputation." "In addition to martial arts, it has also achieved good results in the publishing of other literary works." "As of now, in the field of martial arts publishing, Jiuding Book Publishing Company has occupied 81% of the market share in the same period." "In other publishing areas, it has a 27% market share." "The company has realized an operating income of 89.2 million Hong Kong dollars and a net profit of 15.13 million Hong Kong dollars after tax." "In terms of company structure, the company currently employs 286 people, and its distribution channels cover the entire Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea regions, ranking first in the same field." "My report is over!" "Fuck!" There was another burst of strong applause. Huang Xizhao couldn''t help his eyes widening. He didn''t expect Jiuding Book Publishing Company, which he didn''t know much about, to be so powerful. Is this the legendary muffled fortune? At this moment, Huang Xizhao kept reminding herself that she must be cautious in the future, otherwise she didn''t know when she was embarrassed. "Very good, next one, Ma Tengdong!" Xia Yu said appreciatively, and then moved on to the next one. Ma Tengdong took a deep breath and said vigorously: "Dear Chairman, colleagues, now I will introduce the specific situation of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd." "Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was established in...The company is composed of three major sectors, namely the comics business, the Jiuding Toy Factory and the flagship chain stores around Manke''s Home." "The main business of comics is the "Milky Man Ke" comic magazine, which currently has three editions in Chinese, Japanese and English. The latest weekly circulation of the magazine is 1.91 million, of which the total number of copies in Hong Kong and Austria is 280,000, and that of Taiwan is 390,000. There are 370,000 copies in Southeast Asia and 860,000 copies in island countries." "In the field of Chinese comics, "Zhiyin Manke" occupies the first place, setting a historical record, and successfully squeezed into the tenth place in island country circulation." "In addition, the company currently has an animation production department under the main business of the company''s comics, which is producing anime and has achieved certain results, which can be provided to TV stations at any time." "Jiuding Toy Factory currently only produces toys for the company and does not process external agents. The toy factory has 235 employees." ¡°The flagship chain stores around Manke¡¯s Home have 25 directly-operated stores so far, covering the entire Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and island countries. Among them, the island country has 10 directly-operated stores and Taiwan has 4..." "The 25 directly-operated stores have an average daily turnover of 850,000 Hong Kong dollars, and monthly revenue is expected to reach 26 million Hong Kong dollars, with a gross profit margin of 55.7%." "Because it adopts an asset-heavy operation method, all directly-operated stores purchase stores directly, and the expenditure accounts for a relatively large proportion." "So far, the company''s total business revenue of 61 million Hong Kong dollars, excluding operating costs and other expenses, after-tax profit is 23 million Hong Kong dollars, because opening stores cost 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars, the company''s current capital is 14.5 million Hong Kong dollars." "Boss, I''m done reporting!" "Papa..." "Sure enough, another one, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is even scarier than Jiuding Publishing House!" Huang Xizhao applauded, her eyes were full of shock, and even a little numb. It was another company that could buy Universal Television Station for a year. Especially Huang Xizhao did not expect that the gross profit margin of the flagship store of Manke¡¯s Home, which he did not pay much attention to, was as high as 55.7%, which is really terrifying. It is a profitable industry! What made Huang Xizhao''s heart was that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. even made an animation, which can be provided to TV stations at any time! With such a huge base of comic readers, the ratings of anime will never be low, and it is very likely that this anime will be broadcast on Universal Television. Thinking of this, his pen kept and quickly recorded. Huang Xizhao was shocked, and Gavin Peter was full of solemnity. He did not expect that Ma Tengdong after him would surpass him. This embarrassed him, and at the same time, he secretly decided to speed up development and never fall behind again. As for Yan Wenhan, he took a deep look at Ma Tengdong, and he also felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He planned to speed up the plan to open a new magazine and stabilize his position as the boss. After that, Zhang Lei introduced the situation of Jiuding Printing Factory. Jiuding Printing Factory not only owns the main factory in Xiangjiang, but also has branch factories in Southeast Asia and island countries. Anyway, it is for supporting Jiuding Newspaper Company. Where there is a branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company, there must be Jiuding Printing Factory. Because Jiuding Printing Factory is responsible for all the printing business of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., with the support of these three large companies, Jiuding Printing Factory has been continuously expanding. Now, in terms of printing volume, it is absolutely The No. 1 printing house in East Asia even if it is located in all of Asia, it is still in the top ranks. As the head of the factory, Zhang Lei was not complacent. Instead, he took care of the printing factory conscientiously, because he clearly realized that the Jiuding Printing Factory had such a great achievement and his contribution was very small. The three companies of Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. can support the scale of Jiuding Printing Factory by entrusting the printing business to any printing factory. Because of this mentality, Zhang Lei was very calm when introducing the company, and his attitude was relatively soft. Xia Yu looked at Zhang Lei and didn''t say much. Instead, he took a high look at Zhang Lei. With this mentality, Jiuding Printing Factory was handed over to Zhang Lei, and Xia Yu was more relieved. Finally, it was Huang Xizhao''s turn, the least senior. Knowing the situation of other companies, Huang Xizhao also lowered her attitude and gave a detailed introduction to the situation of Universal Television. Xia Yu was very satisfied with the introduction process. He stayed much longer and immediately started the next meeting process. Chapter 446: 5 big cliques and 1 dagger "Very good. Everyone has listened to the introductions of other colleagues, and they must have a specific impression of the brother company. Then, let¡¯s discuss the development of the group together. What brother companies can help and which aspects can be cooperated. , Or talk about my other ideas, which ones need me to schedule, everyone can talk freely." After speaking, Xia Yu''s eyes moved on everyone''s faces, and when Gavin Peter wanted to speak, he encouraged him: "Gavin, do you have anything to say?" "Yes, boss!" "At present, the company still has enough funds to be idle. I want to use it for mergers and acquisitions to accelerate the company''s development." Gavin Peter said bluntly, looking at Xia Yu with a glimmer of expectation. "Yes, but I have one requirement. Every merger and acquisition must be investigated in the most detailed manner to ensure maximum benefits!" Xia Yu smiled and agreed easily, and reminded him by the way. At the same time, Xia Yu also had a glimmer of anticipation in his heart, and Gavin Peter finally began to embark on the road of "M&A expert". The Penguin Group of the previous life was led by him on the road of frantic mergers and acquisitions, and it has been developing at a high speed, and finally became the world''s largest publishing group. I don¡¯t know how far Jiuding Book Publishing Company can be brought by him after history has changed! "thank you boss!" Gavin Peter said with a hint of excitement. Seeing the boss Xia Yu agreed so easily, the others couldn''t help it. After Ma Tengdong asked for instructions, he said loudly: "Boss, I have two ideas." "The first one is considering that the sales volume of "Zhiyin Manke" magazine in the island country is very high, and it has squeezed into the tenth place. It has already established a firm foothold in the island country comic market. I want to continue to expand the island country branch as the first To build the second headquarters, increase competitiveness, and establish a more standardized talent training system through island companies." Seeing the boss Xia Yu nodded, Ma Tengdong was overjoyed and continued: ¡°Secondly, the chain stores around Manke¡¯s House have great potential. It just so happens that the company still has a certain amount of capital. I want to deepen this field and speed up the opening of branches. speed." "Yes, the surrounding market is very large, especially in island countries, where the market is bigger. If you open surrounding chain stores, you can focus on the island country and enhance your competitiveness. After all, "Zhiyin Manke" has reached the tenth island country, Shueisha etc. The original overlord would never watch." Xia Yu nodded slightly. "Yes, Shueisha wanted to buy our company last time, but I dismissed it. People who wanted to dig us failed." Ma Tengdong said quickly. Xia Yu retracted his eyes and looked at the others. When Yan Wenhan saw his boss looking at him, he said: "Boss, Jiuding News Agency has been expanding, and Jiuding News Agency has also started to produce "Fengyun Weekly". The strategy will not change in a short time, but I will continue to consolidate. While expanding branches in other countries and broadening distribution channels, it also prepares for the next acquisition of foreign newspapers." "Well, just do as you say. The newspaper company has enough funds to transfer 20 million into the Jiuding News Agency. Make sure to build the news agency well. This is the foundation!" Xia Yu thought about it for a moment and ordered Yan Wenhan. "understand!" Yan Wenhan responded respectfully. "Boss, I will continue to expand the printing plant to ensure the printing tasks of the brother company." When Zhang Lei saw the boss looking at him, he said immediately. "Well, yes!" "Xizhao, there are you, any ideas? Speak boldly!" Xia Yu said encouragingly to Huang Xizhao, dispelling his worries. Huang Xizhao nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Boss, I want to know about the anime that Manager Ma said. I don''t know if it will be broadcast on Universal TV." Xia Yu smiled, looked at Ma Tengdong, and asked, "Tengdong, how is the animation production place?" Ma Tengdong thought for a while and said, "Boss, I only made the animation version of "Dragon Ball" because you asked me to do my best to make it. I specially asked the island branch to dig out a lot of talents, subcontract production, and speed It¡¯s much faster. So far, 18 episodes have been completed. At the current rate, two episodes can be completed a week." Upon hearing this, Xia Yu condensed his eyebrows and said: "It''s time to use animation to drive sales. In this way, "Dragon Ball" animation will be broadcast on Universal TV." "Xizhao, Tengdong, the licensing fee for animation is not fixed. Considering that this will become a reference standard for other TV stations, so don''t specify the licensing fee at all. Universal Television will take half of the advertising share." "any questions?" Ma Tengdong and Huang Xizhao immediately shook their heads. The company is the owner. What can they say? "Not enough episodes is a shortcoming, Tengdong, next you will continue to expand the animation production department. My bottom line is that the four comics serialized now must be animated, and each must reach a minimum of two episodes per week. ." "Ok!" Ma Tengdong nodded heavily, feeling pressure in his heart. "Evening photos, the ratings of this "Dragon Ball" will definitely not be low. Taking into account that the main audience is children, "Dragon Ball" is scheduled to be broadcast weekly, with two episodes being broadcast every Saturday, and the broadcast time is scheduled to start at 7 pm , Replay at other times." Xia Yu said to Huang Xizhao. "Ok!" Huang Xizhao happily replied that with this "Dragon Ball" animation with a large audience base, the viscosity of Universal Television will definitely be much higher. He has an intuition that this animation will surprise him. "Xizhao, any ideas?" Xia Yu continued to ask. Seeing Huang Xizhao shaking his head and saying no, he thought about it, and said to Huang Xizhao: "Xizhao, Global TV is the key. You have to communicate with other colleagues later. You have a lot of cooperation." "Especially you and Ma Tengdong, do more exchanges, the two of you have the most opportunities to cooperate, and I will also point you to that." "understand!" ... A meeting was approaching noon. After the meeting, Xia Yu called everyone in and went to the Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel not far away to enjoy a sumptuous lunch. The banquet was not until 2 o''clock in the afternoon. For the advent of Jiuding Culture and Media Group, Xia Yu did not hold a press conference with fanfare like Universal Television and Jiuding Bank. In his opinion, it is completely unnecessary. After all, it is the subsidiaries that directly contact consumers, and the group company does not need this reputation. In the future, the promotion will also be carried out in the name of each subsidiary. The main purpose of the establishment of a group company is to integrate resources, enhance cohesion, and facilitate management. Those at the senior level of Xiangjiang will do it. The establishment of Jiuding Culture Media Group was a beginning. Next, Xia Yu continued to resolutely integrate its subsidiaries. The second integration is the financial landscape. Xia Yu established Jiuding Financial Group, which has three subsidiaries, namely Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Bank, and the renamed Jiuding Insurance Company. The three companies have equal status. And set up the board of directors of Jiuding Financial Group, he served as chairman, Wang Qi, Liu Tianci, and Jason Gregg were three directors. At the group meeting, Xia Yu still asked the three to introduce the situation, and then exchange resources to enhance cohesion. As for Xia Yu''s other hand in the financial market, the Galaxy Fund, it has not been integrated. Xia Yu needs such a fund to do the dirty work. Jiuding Financial Group''s reputation must be relatively positive, so some things are destined to be inconvenient. It happened to be on and off, it was more convenient for him to do things. After integrating the left and right hands, Xia Yu took a sigh of relief. But his integration process is still very long. Xia Yu has registered three group companies, Jiuding Real Estate Group, Jiuding Retail Group and Jiuding Industrial Group. The acquired company will undergo a series of divisions and integrations, and will be classified into these three group companies. In his plan, Jiuding Real Estate Group has three primary subsidiaries, namely Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., and Jiuding Property Management Co., Ltd. Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has the largest volume. Milk Company and all idle land under the Wharf Group will be transferred to this company, and the entire Harbour City, including Ocean Center Building, Ocean Terminal Building, and Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel will be included In the arms. In addition, Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. will have several secondary subsidiaries to solve all problems in real estate development. Jiuding Infrastructure Company was formed by the merger of Golden Gate Construction with the construction department of the original Wharf Group. The remaining Jiuding Property Management Co., Ltd. is a supporting service company for the real estate industry. It was formed after being separated from the original property management. Property management is also a highly profitable industry. Naturally, Xia Yu will not be cheap to outsiders. After that was Jiuding Retail Group, a group that Xia Yu placed high hopes on. The 7-11 convenience store under the Dairy Company, the Huikang Supermarket, Wanning Pharmacy, and IKEA Furniture, which will be renamed in the Dalilian Shopping Mall in the future, will be divested and placed under the Jiuding Retail Group, and then vigorously developed. In the next few decades, the retail industry is destined to be boundless! Finally, it is Jiuding Industrial Group, which also has three first-level subsidiaries. Respectively, only the milk companies in the ice-making field and the cold-storage field were left to be demolished. The Jardine Motors Group, a subsidiary of automobile manufacturing companies, motorcycle manufacturing companies, and Renfu Co., Ltd. For Jardine Motors Group, Xia Yu does not plan to toss so fast, so he will raise it slowly. After all, his strength is not too strong now, and he is not yet a suitable time to enter the automotive industry For the time being. With. The last remaining Wharf is the severely shrinking Wharf, leaving only the wharf and warehousing business, the Star Ferry and the Hong Kong Tram. Since Wharf originally started as a warehousing wharf, let¡¯s return to the original heart and continue to deepen the warehousing and wharf industry. The future prospects of this market are also very good, and they can also control the right to speak. If done well, it is a very good piece. Bargaining chips. In Xia Yu''s temporary vision, Jiuding Cultural Media Group, Jiuding Financial Group, Jiuding Real Estate Group, Jiuding Retail Group, and Jiuding Industrial Group are his five fingers, combined into one hand. The Galaxy Fund is a dagger. Holding a sharp dagger in one hand, whoever provokes the door will kill anyone! The idea is good, but it is very difficult to realize it. After all, these companies are complicated, and it takes a lot of energy to split and merge smoothly. Thank goodness if it can be completed in two months and is on the right track! Chapter 447: Futures and foreign exchange markets Small meeting room of Galaxy Fund. Sitting at the top, Xia Yu quietly looked at the eight people, including Liu Xiao and Xue He, who were sitting around the oval conference table. Liu Xiao, Wang Gang, and others are sitting in jeopardy without squinting. In fact, almost all of them are nervous. It was finally time for the dust to settle, and the result was about to be announced, so they were not nervous. Of course, there are those who are nervous, and naturally there are those who are relatively calm, such as Liu Xiao. In the several assessments before and after, his performance is the best, of course he has a certain degree of confidence. "Everyone has worked very hard during this time, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Yu said with a solemn expression and a sincere tone. "Papa Papa..." If it''s not a good answer, everyone applauded, and there was a warm applause in the conference room, and the dignified atmosphere was immediately diluted. When the applause stopped, Xia Yu pondered for a moment. In the eyes of everyone''s expectation and anxiety, Xia Yu smiled and said: "I can see your performance. The bonuses have been sent to you. You should be satisfied. ?" "Very satisfied, thank you boss!" As soon as these words were said, smiles appeared on everyone''s faces. Obviously, the bonus given by the boss made them very satisfied, and everyone quickly thanked them. "That''s good!" Xia Yu nodded slightly. "Next, it''s about your position arrangement." As soon as these words came out, everyone''s hearts shuddered, their smiles immediately narrowed, and they looked at Xia Yu scorchingly. "Based on your performance several times, I made a comprehensive ranking. The rankings from first to eighth are Liu Xiao, Xue He, Song Yang, Li De, Liu Wei, Wang Gang, Ma Kai, and Tang Yong." Xia Yu looked at the ranking in his hand and said lightly. As soon as the result came out, some people were happy and some were lost, and Xia Yu watched quietly. "Do you have any comments on this ranking?" Xia Yu asked lightly. Everyone immediately shook their heads. In fact, everyone had a general result in their hearts, which was similar to what the boss had arranged. In addition, it was decided by the boss that they would question if they were stupid. "Then start the company''s internal reform." "Within the company, four funds will be established again, namely No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4. Each fund has a manager and a deputy manager, which means that the eight of you will combine in pairs. " "Moreover, each fund has a different initial operable amount." Xia Yu continued. Liu Xiao and others frowned immediately, thinking about the pros and cons of this kind of reform, and the few people at the bottom of the ranking were a little disappointed. Originally, everyone was the leader of a group, and their status was the same, but now the eight groups have become four internal funds, and four people are about to rise to the next level, and the gap is widened. In addition to this gap in status, there is also a gap in bonuses. Because the boss said that the initial operable amount of each fund is different, the money with more funds will definitely make money faster, and their bonuses are distributed according to the level of profitability in a stepwise ratio, and funds with large funds are sure to make money faster. The gap between fame, wealth and rights has made everyone feel a little turbulent. Seeing everyone¡¯s reaction, Xia Yu¡¯s mouth curled up and said again: ¡°But don¡¯t be discouraged, because I said, this is the initial operable capital. Starting to fall behind does not mean that you are always behind. The amount of funds you operate It can be increased. If you perform well, I will naturally raise the amount for you." As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the people at the bottom of the ranking lit up, and the fighting spirit arose, while the eyes of the people at the bottom were condensed and their spirits aroused. For a moment, Xia Yu felt a spark in the conference room. This is the effect he wants. There is a competitive atmosphere inside to encourage them to make rapid progress and make more money for him. The top rankings want to keep their position, and the bottom rankings want to counterattack and find their place. With competition, the Galaxy Fund can develop better. "Now start grouping! You guys remember it!" "Fund No. 1: Manager Liu Xiao, Deputy Manager Tang Yong; Fund No. 2: Manager Xue He, Deputy Manager Ma Kai; Fund No. 3: Manager Song Yang, Deputy Manager Wang Gang; No. 4 Fund: Manager Li De, Deputy Manager Liu Wei ." "The initial capital of Fund 1 is 200 million, the initial capital of Fund 2 is 150 million, the initial capital of Fund 3 is 120 million, and the initial capital of Fund 4 is 100 million." Speaking of this, seeing everyone¡¯s faces in addition to surprises and doubts, Xia Yu knew what they were thinking, and explained: "To give you this match, it is also to average the overall strength of the various funds. You are in a competitive relationship, but You are also comrades-in-arms in the same trench. I hope that someone with a little more ability can take your deputy, and people with similar abilities will also learn from each other and strive for common progress." What Xia Yu did not say is that competition must of course be similar in strength, so that the latter can see hope to achieve the best competitive effect. Although Liu Xiao ranked first, he brought Tang Yong who was eighth. Li''s and Liu Wei of Fund 4 are ranked fourth and fifth respectively. If they work together, they will not necessarily be worse than the portfolio of Liu Xiao and Tang Yong of Fund 1. The lack of funds may be. But as long as the fund growth rate is higher, it will definitely get a boost from the boss. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, everyone nodded solemnly, and Tang Yong, who was ranked last, nodded to Liu Xiao to show kindness, and Liu Xiao responded with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s how the job arrangement is set. Now the employees in the company are selected by you in turn. After the selection is complete, if you need to recruit, apply to me. I will transfer people from the securities company.¡± Xia Yu continued. For the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu does not intend to raise funds or conduct business externally. This fund is his secret weapon. It is only for him, and the confidentiality is naturally the highest. So Xia Yu set the tone from the beginning, not easily recruiting new people directly from outside, but selecting from within Jiuding Securities. First, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will recruit on its behalf. After a certain period of secret inspection, some elites will be transferred to the Galaxy Fund. This will not affect Jiuding Securities too much. After all, when recruiting personnel, they are recruited according to the scale of the two companies. Jiuding Securities is a gold washing pool, washing out the gold and washing out the sand. After the positions are divided, it''s time to set a short-term strategy! In the next period of time, there will be many opportunities. Of course, Xia Yu will make a few pennies. At the same time, he will also use these opportunities to broaden everyone''s horizons and accelerate their growth. "Next, before the operation, I will arrange a few tasks for you to observe more, and then tell me the observation experience and thoughts." "As far as I know, Iran in the Middle East now has domestic political turbulence and anti-American tendencies, so you focus on the London gold market, island country exchange rate markets, and international oil futures, these three markets!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and ordered righteously, with a serious expression. "Yes!" Liu Xiao and the others were all startled, and immediately nodded solemnly, and at the same time a rush of blood began to stir in their hearts. They didn''t expect that the boss would let them enter the magnificent foreign exchange market and futures market from the very beginning, and at the same time they were nervous and excited! After all, the Hong Kong stock market is a small pond Even the size of the global stock market is not as good as the previous futures market and the foreign exchange market. Moreover, in terms of risk, the risk of the stock market is also inferior to the previous market and the foreign exchange market. Many people do not use leverage when speculating in stocks, but when speculating in futures or currencies, the leverage is ten times tens of times, and fluctuations of one or two points are like a roller coaster ride, which is absolutely thrilling and exciting. It is not a dream to get rich overnight, and it is not impossible to lose your pants overnight! Soon, the meeting ended and Xia Yu smiled as everyone left with high spirits. "There are two hundred million Hong Kong dollars left, so let''s put it away first, but I promised Global Television and Luowang 100 million each. It''s time to meet Ma Qianjun''s brothers." ... In the evening, Xia Yu arrived at a secret stronghold under the leadership of Ma Qianjun, and finally met the group of brothers of Ma Qianjun. After some understanding, Xia Yu was very satisfied, and then chatted with Ma Qianjun for a few hours and decided on the construction of the net. Plan to return home until nearly twelve o''clock. Chapter 448: Seize the potential of TVB first "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" "It''s Xizhao, sit down, what''s the matter?" Seeing that the person here was Huang Xizhao, Xia Yu was a little surprised, put down the pen in his hand, and asked gently. Huang Xizhao thanked him and sat down, then smiled respectfully: "Boss, I will report to you about my work." "Well, let''s talk!" "After Chen Shufen dug up, I secretly observed for a few days, and found that the global brokerage company is progressing very quickly, and it is much happier than when I was in my hands. Boss, you are so insightful!" Huang Xizhao first touted. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, smiled, accepted Huang Xizhao''s flattery, and said, "It''s good to be suitable, and you can also take back your energy and take care of the TV station better!" "Boss, you are right!" Huang Xizhao said with a smile, with a very humble attitude. "Well, it''s too late. There is no need to be so deliberate. Just talk about it!" Xia Yu waved his hand and interrupted Huang Xizhao''s flattering rhythm and said. Huang Xizhao smiled, took a deep breath, straightened her mind, and said, "Boss, this is the case. You have invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars into the TV station. I am thinking about creating a powerful TV series to start our TV station. The momentum." "Good fighting spirit!" Xia Yu commented, making Huang Xizhao very happy. "If you want to build a TV series, do it, do you have any ideas?" "Yes, I want to ask the boss, can I shoot "Xun Qin Ji"?" Huang Xizhao finished speaking, looking at Xia Yu expectantly. Universal Television¡¯s first TV station built from start to finish, Huang Xizhao certainly hopes to be able to beat the quake and destroy the power of wireless. It is best to suppress wireless. After thinking about it, the one who can achieve this effect and guarantee success is the most suitable filming of the boss Xia Yu''s "Looking for the Qin". After all, "Looking for the Qin" has such a huge fan base, with the highest sales volume of more than three million copies. After filming, it will definitely be popular in Hong Kong. It is a trivial matter to sell to Omen, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Huang Xizhao also firmly believes that when the TV station "Looking for the Qin" comes out, wireless will definitely only be rubbed on the ground! Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Huang Xizhao a few times, and nodded in anticipation: "Yes, take it!" "thank you boss!" Huang Xizhao shouted thanks in surprise. "But I have a few requirements, you have to pay attention!" Xia Yu said with a serious expression. "Boss, you say, I will definitely implement it!" Huang Xizhao immediately nodded and said. "I have told you before that the old props of the TV station should be replaced. I am not short of the money for the props. The quality of the props cannot be guaranteed, and the TV series produced are not up to the grade." Xia Yu said in a deep voice. "Boss, don''t worry, I have arranged for someone to customize costumes and props, and I will definitely change them!" Huang Xizhao explained immediately. Xia Yu nodded slightly and continued: "The camera used for shooting is also replaced, buy some film, and all the original film must be preserved, so that even after ten or twenty years, the image quality can still be improved." "There is also the film and television base. I have not visited it yet. I will go to see it next time. You have to make arrangements to upgrade the film and television base." "Understand! I will do it!" Huang Xizhao responded respectfully. "Ok!" "As for the script, let the screenwriter do it, and the plot should be as close to the original as possible!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and made one last request for attention. "The boss can rest assured and will definitely stay close to the original!" Regarding this last request, Huang Xizhao''s guarantee is his voice. After all, "Xun Qin Ji" is the boss''s famous work, if he messed up, he can''t bear this responsibility. "By the way, has the TV station re-established any TV series or programs?" After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu asked suddenly. Huang Xizhao was taken aback, condensed her eyebrows and thought carefully, and typed a draft in her mind. Then she said: "Boss, because the company is still undergoing rectification, the planning department and the editorial department are still running together, and the planning department has not achieved much. However, the editorial department has established a project, that is, a martial arts TV series "Central Change" proposed by Mai Danxiong. After discussion by everyone in the editorial department, it has been approved. The script is now being improved. You reported." ""Ceremonial Change"?" Xia Yu was a little surprised. He didn''t expect it to be this TV series. This was a small surprise. Xia Yu has heard of the reputation of "Central Change" in later generations. This TV series is the first long-form martial arts TV series adapted from a script in the history of Xiangjiang TV, and it has a very large number of episodes. The average viewership of the first broadcast exceeds one million, which is dominating for a while. The time when "Ceremonial Change" was broadcast was a rare peak period in Li''s TV station. I vaguely remember that "Ceremonial Change" is of great significance to the history of Hong Kong TV. It made the unit drama completely withdraw from the prime time of 8 to 9 pm, forcing wireless to follow the trend and play two-line long drama every night from Monday to Friday. Unexpectedly, Mai Danxiong was inspired and started writing scripts. And in this life, with the collective wisdom of the editorial department, Xia Yu believes that the quality of the script will definitely be better than that of the previous life, and the quality of the shots will be higher. Coupled with "Xun Qin Ji", in the TV series, there are two trump cards, playing TVB is definitely not a problem! Thinking of this, Xia Yu was in a good mood and told Huang Xizhao: "You tell Mai Danxiong, let them keep improving the script, don''t let me down, give him the greatest support!" Huang Xizhao''s eyes widened, suppressing the surprise in her heart, immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely notify him!" "By the way, you go and buy the martial arts copyrights of Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and others. It is best to have all the copyrights. If it doesn''t work, you can take the exclusive right to adapt the TV series and sign as long as possible to cut off the future of TVB. Road to counterattack." Another hint of inspiration flashed in Xia Yu''s mind, and he immediately ordered Huang Xizhao. If you remember well, the Jin Yong martial arts drama will be the trump card of TVB in the future, creating the "wireless era" in the history of TV dramas in the 1980s. Now that Xia Yu knows the power of martial arts dramas such as Jin Yong and Gu Long, it is natural to get it in the bag early, cut off the wireless potential, and turn it into its own heritage. So far, the first piece of Jin Yong''s martial arts is the "Book of Swords and Enmity" which was adapted the year before. Xia Yu''s more familiar adaptations such as the trilogy of shooting the Eagles, "The Swordsman", "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", and "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" have been so popular that they have not yet been adapted. And Xia Yu also knew that Shao Yifu would never turn a blind eye to the news that his "Xun Qin Ji" was to be adapted. In order to confront it, he would also look for Jin Yong Gu Long and others to adapt it. So Xia Yu might as well go ahead and take all the copyright in his bag! See what Shao Laoliu can do! The era of Hong Kong TV series in the future should be created by Universal Television! TVB is destined to be stepped on! Chapter 449: "7 Dragon Ball" starts broadcasting "Ring Ling Ling..." "I announce, get out of class is over!" "Thank you teacher, goodbye teacher!" At the Diocesan Boys¡¯ School, the bell rang for the end of class. After Xia Ming¡¯s class, a female teacher announced that after class, Li Chengze, who was sitting in the last row, immediately took out the "Military Manke" comic magazine from the drawer and ran to Xia Ming¡¯s. At the table, he licked his face and asked eagerly: "Amin, Amin, it says that "Dragon Ball" is going to be anime. It will be broadcast on Universal TV on Saturday afternoon. Is it true?" Xia Ming looked at the position pointed by Li Chengze on the cover of "Military Man Ke" magazine, looked at him with an idiotic look, and said, "Didn''t the above mention it? You still ask me!" Seeing Li Chengze asking this, other friends also gathered around and asked in a rush, obviously paying attention to this topic. This made Xia Ming feel very proud, but thinking of his brother''s teaching, he did not show it. Li Chengze smiled, not at all annoyed, and said: "This is not your brother''s company, you must know better. By the way, have you seen it, is it exciting?" As soon as this problem came out, everyone else looked at Xia Ming. Being questioned by Li Chengze, Xia Ming suddenly got hairy. When he doubted the animation of "Dragon Ball", he was skeptical of his most admired brother. This is definitely unbearable. He stared and said loudly, "Although I haven''t watched it, but sure It''s wonderful, you can watch it when the time comes, and you will never be disappointed!" "Yes, yes, it must be wonderful, the comics are so good-looking, the animation will definitely be more exciting!" A male classmate immediately praised it, and the others followed suit, and Xia Ming was happy. Saying he doesn¡¯t care, but saying his brother, absolutely not! ... The broadcast of "Dragon Ball" animation is of great significance. In order to gain a good ratings, the publicity is directly maximized. The latest issue of the "Milky Way" comic magazine is directly promoted on the cover, and there is also a detailed overview of the situation under the "Dragon Ball" comic. This kind of targeted publicity has the greatest effect. Readers who like to watch "Dragon Ball" comics can never resist the temptation of anime. In addition to the promotion of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., another direct beneficiary, Universal Television, also made a large-scale promotion. Directly insert an advertisement midway through the program with the highest ratings to inform the audience that "Dragon Ball" animation will be broadcast every Saturday at 7 o''clock in the evening. And in children''s programs, advertisements are also constantly placed, brainwashing propaganda. In addition, the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper also published relevant soft articles, and it is not unreasonable that the land has given the Universal Television and "Dragon Ball" titles such as developers and pioneers. This is the first and most direct cooperation between the three companies after the establishment of the group. Everything is to make the "Dragon Ball" animation start off! In the anticipation of all, it was Saturday in a flash, and the red sun gradually dropped to the horizon. Summer House! "Dinner, stop watching TV, get to the table soon!" Xia Mu brought the last dish from the kitchen and shouted to the half-old children who were sitting on the sofa watching TV. "Amin, go to the room and call your brother down!" "Okay, mom!" Xia Ming responded quickly, and then ran upstairs quickly. Soon, the family sat at the table and began to eat dinner. In addition to Xia Yu¡¯s family, there is Yanhong on the table. Yan Shining and his son live in Xia Yu¡¯s house, but Yan Shining has been busy with Aegis security training during this period, and almost all of them eat and live there. It is also one of the training items. In addition, the servants such as the nanny do not go to the table and open the stove. "A Yu, shouldn''t be so busy during this time?" While eating, Xia Mu asked with concern. Xia Yu smiled, and didn''t tell the truth to worry about his parents, but Feng Qingyun said calmly: "No, the people below have good abilities, so I don''t need to worry about it." "That''s good!" Xia Mu showed a knowing smile. Xia Dahai, the father of Xia who has been listening quietly, suddenly jumped out: "A Yu, you should also pay attention. You can''t count on the people below for everything. You have such a big business. What if you are deceived?" Xia Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled dryly and said: "Why? Who can lie to me, dad, don''t worry, where is such a stupid man if your son can lay such a large foundation?" Xia Mu added abruptly: "Your dad is reminding you to always be on guard." Looking at the serious expressions of his parents, Xia Yu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll pay attention. Don''t worry, you two!" Seeing his son listened to his heart, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother smiled and continued to eat. "Parents, I''m finished!" In a short while, Xia Ming quickly finished the rice in the bowl, and after speaking, dropped his rice bowl and ran towards the sofa in the living room. "Are you finished? Are you full?" Just when Xia''s mother asked concerned about it, Yan Hong had finished eating too, and said obediently: "Uncle and aunt, I''m full too, I''m going to watch TV." "Hmm! Remember to rinse your mouth!" Xia''s mother gently said that both Xia''s father and Xia''s mother had a very good attitude towards this very well-behaved little boy. When Yanhong also went to sit on the sofa, Xia Mu muttered, "I know that watching TV, it''s not easy to study with this time." Xia Xiaomei, who was still eating quietly, rolled her eyes, just to see her mother looking at her, she felt as if she was talking to herself, she continued to eat, not wanting to listen to her mother. Xia Yu smiled and said: "Mom, let them do it, whether it is a combination of work and rest, blindly reading is not very effective, don''t force it too tight, let Aming and the others regard reading as a burden and task, and they will not learn well. " "I think they want to watch anime, my company does it, and it will be broadcast tonight at 7 on demand." "Oh? Your company does it? Let them do it, and I''ll check it out when I finish eating. What shows are on your TV station." Father Xia came and said with interest, and the topic was directly exposed. Knowing that it was the show on the son''s TV station and also made by the son''s company, Xia''s mother decisively stopped talking. Xia Yu smiled and continued to eat. From rebirth to the present, the parents have changed a lot, especially the mother, who was originally a very silent person, but now, it seems that they have become more and more like to talk, or to take care of it. There is no denying that there is a factor of menopause. But in Xia Yu''s view, the most important reason is that now parents don''t need to work every day except health preservation and leisure. People always think about this when they are free. For a mother, after not considering the pressure of life, what else is more important than the growth of her children? Naturally, Mother Xia''s mind was placed on her younger son and daughter who could still be managed. As for the elder son Xia Yu, Mother Xia knew that she could not control her, so she could only give care and consideration in daily life. "Here''s here, it''s a one-star Dragon Ball! It''s so beautiful!" When the time came to seven o''clock, the pictures on the TV screen switched immediately. Seeing the things on the pictures, Xia Ming couldn''t help exclaiming, and his whole body was excited. Seeing the performance of the two brothers Xia and Yanhong, Xia Yu, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, showed a smile and turned his gaze to the TV, with a blur in his eyes. "Dragon Ball" animation, he didn''t have a TV at home when he was a child, and he went to his friend''s house to watch it every vacation, because his friend''s house happened to be equipped with a satellite pot, and there were some channels to watch. He still remembered that it was on Saturday and Sunday. It was two episodes a day, two consecutive days. Every time a group of friends gathered at a friend¡¯s house, watched anime with relish, and then talked about all kinds of things. Related topics. He hadn''t seen it until he started high school. He didn''t expect to see it again in this life. Moreover, the "Dragon Ball" anime was born in his hands, and there are some differences from the previous life. For example, now, the opening song is in Chinese. It has been carefully crafted by a famous teacher. The drum is used as a musical instrument. Listening to the opening song, I only feel a rush of blood rushing to the brain. Together with the elaborate opening animation, the effect is doubled. Seeing the red faces and excited eyes of the younger brother and Yan Hong, you can know that the opening animation and opening song are very effective. Of course, it is undeniable that their behavior is due to psychological factors. ... There are two flowers and one branch each. Global TV station, backstage monitoring area. Huang Xizhao did not go back to eat, but stayed here after get off work, cheering the monitoring and statistics staff in the background from time to time. "Dragon Ball" animation was placed high expectations by Huang Xizhao, coupled with the joint efforts of many parties, he could not ignore it. Staying in the background, he wants to know the ratings for the first time! The ratings and share of TV stations in the previous life are generally not available on the same day. After all, the whole mainland is too big. No one knows how many TVs there are. The statistics are as difficult as the sky. Therefore, you can only rely on third-party survey companies, such as search Furui, with more than 50,000 investigators, can roughly know some data. But Xiangjiang is different from the mainland, and the ratings are easy to come out. Nowadays, there are only two TV stations left in Hong Kong, and the program frequencies of Universal TV and TVB are different, which is easy to distinguish. There is also a roughly definite number of how many TVs does HeungKong have . How many TV stations have received the frequency of the programs of Universal Television can also get feedback through the closed TV line, and Universal Television can grasp it at any time. The program ratings are calculated by dividing the number of TV sets watching the program at the same time by the total number of Hong Kong TV sets. The other viewership share is different. It refers to the market share during the same time period, the number of TV sets that watched Universal Television''s programs, divided by the total number of all TV sets that just started to watch the program at that time. For example, suppose that there are 100 TV sets in Hong Kong and 10 TV series watching "Dragon Ball" at 7 o''clock, then the program ratings will be 10%. If at 7 o''clock, 20 of the 100 TVs in Hong Kong are turned on, then the audience share of "Dragon Ball" is 10 divided by 20, which equals 50%! After checking the time, it was already 6:55. Huang Xizhao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and asked the monitor: "How is the ratings now?" Chapter 450: A worthy trump card! "Director, it has reached 9.4%!" The monitoring staff quickly calculated and came up with a data that excited him, and he immediately reported it loudly. "9.4%? Good!" Huang Xizhao''s eyes lit up when she heard it, and she smiled all of a sudden, couldn''t help but cheer loudly, clenching her fists unknowingly. It has not yet started, and it is still in advertising time, and it has already had 9.4% of the ratings. It is less than 7 o¡¯clock now. Many families are still busy eating and do not turn on the TV. According to the usual data during this time period, 9.4% The ratings are already pretty good, and usually 4% is not bad! "Keep staring!" Huang Xizhao solemnly ordered. "Yes!" With the passage of time, the ratings have been soaring, especially starting at 6:57, the ratings suddenly jumped, and the growth rate is getting faster and faster! 11.4%! 12.5%! 13.2%! 14.7%! When the second hand of the watch just went to the 12 position, the latest ratings directly reached 14.7%! As soon as this data came out, Huang Xizhao clenched his fist and waved violently, completely disregarding his image. His heart was half put down, and a wave of joy came to his heart. A good start! He has an intuition that he is really going to set a record this time! "The next ten minutes are critical. As long as the ratings don''t drop, it will be stable!" "But I have watched this "Dragon Ball" anime twice. Even an adult like me was taken away by the plot after watching it. Children will definitely like it!" Huang Xizhao secretly said to herself, encouraging herself. After ten minutes passed quickly, Huang Xizhao felt relieved to see that the ratings had only risen, especially when the ratings stayed at 19.1% at the end of the first episode, Huang Xizhao''s spirit was refreshed. The ratings of 19.1% have surpassed the history of the previous time period! "Advertising time is three minutes, concentrate, always pay attention to the fluctuation of ratings!" Huang Xizhao said with a serious expression. "Don''t worry, the bar manager!" The monitoring staff said immediately without looking back. Soon, watching the advertising time, the ratings dropped to 18.9% at most, only 0.2%, and Huang Xizhao''s smile could no longer conceal it! Putting a 3-minute ad is actually a test for him, and it is also an experiment. Originally, the intermediate advertisement was about one and a half minutes, but this time the advertisement time was extended to three minutes at this critical time, just to know the audience''s acceptance. If this is acceptable, then advertising revenue will increase a lot! With an audience rating of 18.9%, the audience is reluctant to switch channels even during the advertising time, which shows the attraction of "Dragon Ball" animation to the audience. Huang Xizhao is completely relieved! Happy from the heart! As time gets closer and closer to the start time of the prime time at 8 o''clock, many families are already busy, or have finished eating, and start to watch TV with peace of mind. More and more TV sets are turned on, and children in many families are watching After the "Dragon Ball" anime, he cried and refused to change channels. The sky is big and the child is the eldest. Whenever parents can withstand the plea of ??their children, they naturally follow their children. As a result, the ratings of "Dragon Ball" began to soar again! When the second episode ended, the time was fixed at 7:55, and the ratings exceeded 29.7%! "Director, it''s hot, "Dragon Ball" is completely hot!" "Director, this ratings absolutely surpasses TVB!" ... The whole backstage cheers one after another, Huang Xizhao also laughed, completely disregarding the image. "Director, do you want to report to the boss?" A more clever employee quietly came to Huang Xizhao''s side and reminded softly. Huang Xi gave the employee a look of admiration, then quickly left, came to the office, and dialed the boss''s home number. "boss¡­¡­" After the report, Huang Xizhao immediately called a friend in TVB, and found out about TVB''s ratings. He quickly calculated it and couldn''t hide his smile again. TVB¡¯s Pearl TV (English) and Jade TV (Cantonese) have a combined audience rating of only 9.5%, while Global TV¡¯s English station has an audience rating of 4.8%. In this case, 44% of the TV sets in Hong Kong are turned on. The viewership share of Universal Television reached 78.4%, and the viewership share of "Dragon Ball" animation reached 67.5%! "The first time it was broadcast with such a high ratings and audience share, a trump card appeared! As expected, it is an anime that is valued by the boss!" "But think about it, the sales volume of "Zhiyin Manke" on Hong Kong Island is only two or three hundred thousand copies. These are loyal fans. With the continuous promotion of TV stations and newspapers, a 29.7% audience rating is considered normal. It may even be considered low!" "It is estimated that some fans are not used to it, or have not watched it for other reasons, but it doesn''t matter, the ratings will only get higher and higher!" Thinking of this, Huang Xizhao feels very happy! "By the way, quickly tell Jiuding News that this news should have some value!" After thinking about it, Huang Xizhao dialed Yan Wenhan''s home again. ... The galaxy reverses, and it is dawn again in a blink of an eye! Early in the morning, relying on the powerful distribution system of Jiuding Newspaper Company, its major newspapers were distributed virally. While other newspapers were still being delivered, Jiuding newspapers were distributed and sold as quickly as possible. And the major news about "Dragon Ball" was also circulated in Xiangjiang! The industry is shaking, and the general public on Hong Kong Island are watching, and they are shocked by the high ratings and share of "Dragon Ball" reported by the newspaper! "Fengyun Daily" even wrote an article, which has great significance for the success of "Dragon Ball", and directly promotes the rise of Hong Kong Comics, calling for a bright future for the animation and manga industry, and calling on young people to have another way. He also praised Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the production company of "Dragon Ball" animation, and suggested that if you want to engage in animation or manga industry, you can go to the training class specially set up by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Excellent can be directly hired. In an instant, many comic lovers were tempted! The vigorous and resolute windrunners immediately set off to consult Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. TVB, Shao Yifu''s office. At this time, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were in the office. Fang Yihua sat quietly and looked at Shao Yifu, who was looking solemn and reading the newspaper. Seeing Shao Yifu put down the newspaper, Fang Yihua asked anxiously: "Yifu, Global TV is coming so aggressively, they have won such a high ratings and audience share." When Shao Yifu heard the sound, his brows trembled, he took a breath, frowned and thought, his mood was very bad. From 7:00 to 8:00 before the original prime time, after Jiashi stopped broadcasting, the two channels of TVB had a combined audience rating of at least 22 points, and the market share reached 68%. Unexpectedly, as soon as the "Dragon Ball" promoted by Universal TV came out, TVB was directly cut off. The total ratings of wireless were only 9.5%, and the market share plummeted by more than 40 points, leaving only 21.6%, which is terrible! Can''t help but not pay attention to it! Fortunately, in terms of all aspects, they still dominate the TVB! Moreover, this big fire "Dragon Ball" is also affected by the output, only two a few a week, which adds up to less than an hour, and it is not too serious to be suppressed for an hour. "Their output is limited, and occasionally arrogant, and you see, they only dared to play from 7 to 8 o''clock, not dare to head-on with us at the prime time." Shao Yifu smiled and pretended to say lightly. "Yes, I must know that we are inferior to us, so I chose to avoid the edge!" Hearing this explanation, Fang Yihua was taken aback, then said with a smile. "Kazu, we can''t let them be so arrogant. We also do animation. Looking at the current situation, animation is also very marketable. Then we will compete with them with animation!" Fang Yihua''s eyes rolled round and round, and then suggested to Shao Yifu. "You make sense, but..." Shao Yifu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and continued: "However, compared to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. who can do anime, they will never take our orders." "And there are still risks in the future. The current "Dragon Ball" is only one of their four ace comics. If the other three are also made into anime, we will be in big trouble!" Thinking of this, Shao Yifu''s mood became serious again. "Isn¡¯t the island country¡¯s animation market very strong? No matter how powerful it is, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is definitely not as good as the islanders. We will bring in island animation to compete with Universal Television, and it will definitely be fine." "Didn''t we introduce island animation several times a few years ago, the effect is still okay." Fang Yihua gave full play to the role of the dog''s head officer and suggested again. "Your suggestion is good!" "It seems it''s time to introduce island animation again!" "Didn''t they play two episodes a week? Then we will introduce a good animation and play it every night to win by volume and win the market!" Speaking of this, Shao Yifu showed a deep smile. "Kazu, I really have you..." ... That night, what Shao Yifu didn¡¯t expect was that the first and second episodes of "Dragon Ball" that were played last night were rebroadcast. TVB¡¯s ratings were also greatly affected. The ratings were directly cut. When the data was obtained, Shao He couldn''t help taking a breath of air, feeling very heavy. At the same time, he quickly ordered people to go to the island country to screen outstanding animations and bring them in as soon as possible. After all, Universal Television is so shamelessly rebroadcast it, if it is rebroadcast every Sunday, then the impact will be great! You Dao is afraid of what comes! Seeing the rebroadcast of "Dragon Ball", the audience rating was still 28.9%, which was only 0.8% lower than yesterday. Huang Xizhao''s eyes were as bright as a 100,000-watt ball of light. On each of the following days, Huang Xizhao arranged a rebroadcast of "Dragon Ball" animation, and never had the ratings below 20%, and the lowest market share of a single program was 50%. Coupled with the ratings and market share of the English channel of Global TV, it properly overwhelms TVB! A "Dragon Ball" which only screened two episodes, is worthy of the trump card role, abruptly let Universal Television dominate every night from 7 to 8 o''clock! With such high ratings, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com is naturally followed by advertisers waving banknotes frantically, especially for children''s clothing, toys and other products, they are even more excited! But this time, the fertile water did not flow into the field of outsiders, and the most valuable intermediate advertisement was left to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to promote the peripheral products of "Dragon Ball" and the chain stores around "Manke Home". According to Ma Tengdong¡¯s feedback, the effect of advertising in the middle of the "Dragon Ball" animation was amazing. The sales of several stores in Hong Kong and Macao of "Manke Home" directly skyrocketed by five storeys a week, and mainly relying on "Dragon Ball" Series of figures, plush toys, stationery stickers, etc. The effect of manga is not as good as the more intuitive anime after all! Seeing the super-leading role of animation in peripheral products, Ma Tengdong is full of motivation, and once again speeds up the progress of recruiting talents, and wants to produce the other three animations and play them as quickly as possible. At that time, the turnover of "Manke Home" will definitely skyrocket! He firmly believes this! Chapter 451: Rapid progress On Saturday of the second week, TVB has not yet introduced the island animation, while Universal Television will broadcast the animation "Dragon Ball" as usual. With a week of word-of-mouth fermentation and public opinion effects, the third episode of the second issue has not yet been broadcast, and the ratings have exceeded the ratings after the first episode was broadcast last week, directly breaking through 20%, reaching 23.7%. Less than five minutes after the broadcast, the ratings rushed to 30%, a little bit higher than the highest ratings last week. Apparently last week''s audience stayed in front of the TV very punctually this week and was stuck by the animation. After that, the ratings continued to rise, and the ad ratings between the third and fourth episodes also reached 32.2%. By the end of the second episode, the highest ratings were 33.8%, and the average ratings were 32.5%! This means that in this TV segment, more than 32.5% of the families in Hong Kong are watching "Dragon Ball" animation. It¡¯s not surprising to think about it. In Xiangjiang, more than 50% of families have children. With the influence of "Milk Manke" among Xiangjiang teenagers, it is normal for more than half of the children to watch "Dragon Ball" animation! As soon as this ratings came out, Huang Xizhao laughed! This rating can definitely win the top spot in the ratings of TV programs in 1978! This is worthy of the group''s all-round promotion! "Boss, I believe that even if it''s rebroadcast, it can get more than 20% ratings, and it won''t be a problem for the segment to crush TVB!" Huang Xizhao smiled and assured Xia Yu confidently. Xia Yu nodded with a smile, put down the ratings statistics in his hand, and said admiringly: "This is the first time that an anime program has won the first place in the annual ratings! You guys have cooperated well!" Huang Xizhao was even more happy to receive praise from the boss, and the smile on her face became brighter. "Currently, Global TV only has a local Chinese channel and a local English channel. International channels will be launched sooner than TVB. However, this does not mean that in Hong Kong, we can only have two channels!" "If we can have enough works, we can open another HTV-2 or HTV-3 set at that time, and even further subdivide channels such as HTV-Children Channel, HTV-Movie Channel, etc.!" Xia Yu narrowed his smile, his expression became serious, and looked at Huang Xizhao with scorching eyes, with encouragement and hope in his eyes. Huang Xizhao, who was still a little relaxed, woke up immediately, nodded heavily, and promised: "Don''t worry, boss, I will definitely work hard for this goal!" "Ok!" "Boss, I have good news to report to you!" "I personally went to Jin Yong and bought the exclusive TV drama rights for all of his works. At first he only agreed for five years, and then I talked about it for 10 years. Gulong¡¯s is easier, and the right to adapt outside of Taiwan. We bought it for 30 years, and we are still talking about Wen Rui''an and Liang Yusheng. The progress is pretty good!" Huang Xizhao said with a smile. "Oh? Well done! Very efficient!" After being moved by Huang Xizhao in such a short time, Xia Yu was a little surprised, and immediately praised him, completely relieved. The most influential of these martial arts masters should be Jin Yong and Gu Long, one in Hong Kong and the other in Taiwan. The more influential TV series adapted in later generations, and the more valuable adaptations are also these two. Now these two have been taken by Universal Television. Even if you don¡¯t get Wen Rui¡¯an and Liang Yusheng¡¯s, Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care. . Of course, if you can win it, it''s best to block TVB''s way! It is best not to leave them at all! Although Jin Yong has only 10 years of exclusive adaptation rights, Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care. In ten years, he is confident that Universal Television will become a towering tree. Ten years later, without Jin Yong¡¯s drama, he is not worried that TVB will turn the sky. ! What''s more, ten years later, he doesn''t believe that TVB has won the Universal Television Station! This is extreme confidence in our own strength and future! "Continue to hurry up, copyright is a kind of heritage, the more land you get, the better!" Xia Yu ordered. "understand!" Huang Xizhao solemnly promised. "By the way, how is the progress of the changes in "Tiancanbian" and "Xunqin Ji"?" Xia Yu asked suddenly. "Sorry, boss, I''ll just arrange things. I have been busy with other things these days, and I haven''t asked them yet." Huang Xizhao looked ashamed and whispered. "It''s okay, let''s go and have a look!" Xia Yu said indifferently, and then took Huang Xizhao to the editorial department. As soon as I entered, I saw eight people including Mai Danxiong and Li Zhaoxiong discussing the plot enthusiastically. Seeing the boss'' arrival, everyone immediately stopped discussing and stood up and greeted respectfully. "Seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic about work, I want to come here and make good progress!" Xia Yu asked everyone to sit down and said with a smile. There are eight people in the editorial department, some of whom are editors dug from Jiashi, who are arranged to come in, and two are from outside. Eight elite editors, the lineup is pretty good! As for editors with poor ability, they are not qualified to participate in the most senior discussion group of the editorial department. They are all assigned to work under each elite editor. So in fact, the entire editorial department, from high-level to low-level, has a total of nearly 30 people, including full-time and part-time employees. "Boss, everyone works together, and the progress is relatively fast. At present, the script for the 28 episodes of "Central Change" has been perfected. Your "Xunqin Ji" has also completed 20 episodes." Mai Danxiong, with a faintly higher status, reported truthfully. "So fast? Show me the script!" "Boss, please see, this is the original script!" After receiving the two bound scripts, Xia Yu flipped through it with a relaxed mood. He was relieved, but everyone present held their breath, both expecting and uneasy. Xia Yu could understand the script, so he flipped through it at this time, and it was not barrier-free. He flipped through more than ten pages, then flipped through a few more pages, showing a satisfied smile. "Yes, the writing is wonderful, everyone has worked hard!" Xia Yu put down the script and said with appreciation. "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Hearing the praise, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said one after another. "How long will the two TV scripts be completed?" Xia Yu asked casually. Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, it was Mai Danxiong who had more say. After all, "Central Change" was his intention, and he knew the situation best. Mai Danxiong thought for a while, and said: "For up to two weeks, both scripts can be taken out and filmed!" "It seems fast!" "Evening photos, immediately set up a shooting team, fight for the script to be taken out, start shooting, and shoot the two together!" Xia Yu nodded slightly for a moment, and ordered Huang Xizhao. "Okay! I will start arranging today!" Huang Xizhao solemnly nodded and responded. After looking at it again, Xia Yu didn''t bother them to write the script, and after encouraging everyone a few words, he left the editorial department. After going out, Xia Yu told Huang Xizhao: "They are making rapid progress. Since they have bought all of them, they should convert them all into TV scripts first." "At that time, priority will be given to the adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes". After completion, other adaptations will be made into scripts. When you want to shoot, you can take out the script and start shooting as soon as possible!" "Boss rest assured, I will make arrangements in place!" Huang Xizhao said respectfully. A trace of satisfaction flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, nodding with a smile. Chapter 452: Call everyone The screenwriting department made rapid progress, but the progress of another planning department that Xia Yu had placed high hopes on did not satisfy him. In the planning department of Universal Television, Xia Yu sat on a stool and looked blankly at the plans in front of him. No one knew what he was thinking. But Huang Xizhao, who had just accompanied Xia Yu through the screenwriting department, could feel that the boss is now dissatisfied with his performance. The blank face is the biggest problem! You know, just now in the screenwriting department, the boss Xia Yu was smiling and praised Mai Shanxiong. I glanced at the expressionless boss, and saw Huang Xizhao''s serious expression. There were six people, including Xiao Ruoyuan and Xu Xiaoming, with a sense of anxiety and shame on their faces. For a while, the entire office was quiet, except for the sound of breathing and the rustle of pages turning. After a long time, Xia Yu closed the planning book, and seeing the solemn expressions of everyone, he showed a smile and said with ease: "Okay, don''t be so nervous, relax!" Xiao Ruoyuan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "I took a look at these three plans. There are bright spots, and I continue to refine them. It should be considered a successful plan. The market still has it, but if you want a big fire, the potential is still slightly insufficient." Xia Yu commented lightly, with a more tactful tone. "I''m sorry, boss, we will continue to work hard in the future and strive to think of better program planning." Xiao Ruoyuan''s face flushed a little, and he admitted in a low voice. Xia Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don''t admit your mistakes, I''m not criticizing you, I just comment from my personal point of view, and I may not be all right!" "No, no, boss, what you said is right. We didn''t feel very good when we were planning, but we haven''t figured out where to improve in a short time." Xiao Ruoyuan said quickly. "It''s said that there is no need to blame yourself. The planning department and the screenwriting department are different. Although the importance is equal, the most important thing for program planning is inspiration. In just over a week, it is normal to not think of a good plan." "But our TV station can''t wait any longer. I just have a few inspirations. Listen to it and see how?" Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said. When Xiao Ruoyuan and others heard the words, their eyes lit up, they all looked at the boss expectantly and listened quietly. "Don''t worry, let me ask you first, which categories do you think TV programs are roughly divided into? What are each category roughly included?" Xia Yu smiled, did not say immediately, but asked everyone. Xiao Ruoyuan and the others couldn''t help but stare their eyebrows, and looked at each other, wondering what medicine was sold in the boss'' gourd. Finally, Xu Xiaoming stood up and said: "Boss, I think TV programs can be roughly divided into five categories: news programs, financial programs, sports programs, cultural entertainment programs, and life programs." Xia Yu nodded with a smile, looked at him encouragingly, and said, "Then what are these five categories?" Xu Xiaoming pondered for a moment, and then confidently said: "The answers to news programs can include oral news, video news, feature news, interview news, surveys and other small columns." "Finance and economics programs have financial consultations that overlap with news, as well as related reviews." "Sports programs generally include small columns such as sports match broadcasting, sports news, sports knowledge, sports appreciation, fitness and fitness." "Cultural and entertainment programs include the broadest, culturally biased educational programs, thematic arts, comprehensive arts, evening shows, and various artistic columns, etc., as well as entertainment film, variety shows, entertainment information, etc." "The last life program includes life experiences, some of the content that people usually care about, such as small columns such as clothing, food, housing, health care, employment, marriage, meteorology, transportation and tourism, shopping and cooking, household crafts, and room layout." Xu Xiaoming finished speaking in one breath, and Xia Yu smiled and applauded and said: "Very good!" "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Xu Xiaoming grinned and said humbly. Xiao Ruoyuan and the others regretted not coming forward. Almost all of them present could tell about these things, but unfortunately there was only one opportunity to perform, and I could only blame myself for not seizing it. "Since it is divided into five categories, let''s start with the news one by one!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Xiao Ruoyuan and others immediately cleared up their minds and focused on listening to the boss. "Now our TV station news has been published for 20 years, and it can be said to be very stable, but it may also be a long time, the audience is also a little tired, and the program seems a bit old-fashioned." "But it''s different now. We have advantages that we didn''t have before, such as the comprehensive strength of the group. Think about the resources of brother companies. Jiuding News Agency and Jiuding News Agency can definitely provide a steady stream of high-quality news. The quality of news is definitely higher." "Don''t worry about the quantity and quality of the news, you can set up a few more news programs so that viewers can see the latest and fastest blockbuster news, so the ratings will never be low." "It will be broadcast at six in the morning until eight or nine in the morning. The news program is called "Chao Wen Tianxia". The program is mainly based on major local and international news reports, supplemented by cultural and sports news, weather travel information, and life service information. " "At twelve noon, you can come to the "Noon News", 30 minutes, let the audience understand the big incident that happened in the morning after eating." "At six o''clock in the evening, I can make another "News at 30 Minutes" and report the major news of the day." "A news program in the morning, middle and evening, the linkage effect is absolutely good, and it will soon leave a deep impression in the minds of the audience. With the support of Jiuding News Agency, there is no need to worry that there is no news to report. Hong Kong can report on Omen or Southeast Asia if there is none. news." "Finally, there is even a news program to put it in the evening, called "Global Sight", which only focuses on major events happening abroad, and the audience has a curious mentality. This type of program can easily be used for simultaneous TVB. To compare the show." "How about these shows?" Looking at the dumbfounded group of people, Xia Yu asked with a smile on his lips. "Boss, your idea is so good. You can''t think of a stereotyped news program. You can think of so many, especially the last "Global Sight", which will definitely rise quickly. No TV station in Xiangjiang specializes in international news. Show." "And with the help of brother companies, we can do it easily, but it is difficult for TVB to do it like this. We are destined to stand out!" Xu Xiaoming nodded frantically, with very shiny eyes, admiring it from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he was also upset that he had always said that his thinking was limited to variety shows and entertainment programs, and he did not intend to change the established news programs. This should be what the boss said is the solidification of thinking. No wonder the boss will say that the current news program is a bit old-fashioned, and even their plans are ignored. They repeat the production mechanically every day, and if they are not old-fashioned, they become old-fashioned. Xia Yu smiled and continued: "Then the second one will talk about financial programs. Do you think we and TVB, who can do faster and better?" "Ha ha ha..." Hearing the boss¡¯s question, everyone couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Xiao Ruoyuan immediately said: ¡°Of course it¡¯s us. Who doesn¡¯t know that our brother company Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s financial magazines and newspapers are number one, and there is even more powerful Jiuding Finance. The group, if we can''t do it well, TVB will be even worse." "That''s it?" "Your thinking needs to change, the company changes, and you have to change accordingly. You must make full use of internal and associated resources to give full play to our greatest advantage!" "We are bullying TVB. If we have several companies behind each of our programs, the quality of the programs will never be bad. Can TVB beat us?" "There are two programs for finance and economics The first one focuses on business analysis and business market observation, called "Global Market", and the other focuses on finance, analyzing securities, futures, foreign exchange markets and other markets. It''s called "Born to My Money"!" As Xia Yu said, his eyes became deep, and there seemed to be a smile in the depths. If these two programs have made an impact and put them in the hands of a financial tycoon, the effect will be greater. Finance and economics programs do not need to be faked to promote holiday news, and sometimes just a little bit of action is needed to add to the flames. Or to slightly influence public opinion and let the market go at the pace that he wants is the greatest advantage, and he can also create the greatest benefits. After all, in the financial market, there are always opportunities to make money, and every change contains unlimited opportunities for making money. It depends on whether you can discover and grasp it quickly. But if it can affect the timing of the opportunity, it will undoubtedly have a great advantage. (For subscription, I really don¡¯t want to prevent theft) Chapter 453: Wide open gold finger "As for the third category of sports programs, there is no need to plan at all. You only need to do a market survey to see what type of sports programs the audience wants. As long as the market is large enough, you can broadcast the corresponding sports events. thing!" Xia Yu talked about it, and then skipped this kind of show. "The fourth category of cultural and entertainment programs is also the broadest category in the current market. The TV drama market is the largest. The screenwriting department next door is already working on the scripts for "Central Change" and "Xunqin Ji", so don''t worry." "In the future, you don''t have to worry about the TV series. The screenwriting department will be responsible." "What you need to think about is the planning of variety shows in the second largest market in entertainment." "It happens to be this one, I have an idea, it should be pretty good!" Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, Xiao Ruoyuan and the others were shocked and looked at the boss Xia Yu with scorching eyes. The three plans they did were variety show plans, and they were not evaluated very well by the boss. After the shock that the boss gave them just now, they are increasingly looking forward to the so-called variety show inspiration of the boss. They don''t doubt whether the boss''s idea is bad, but they are concerned about whether they can get some inspiration from the boss. "This program is called "Millionaire". It is a thrilling challenge program. Challengers can use knowledge to make money, regardless of identity. They can be students, teachers, doctors, butchers, or even beggars, as long as they have the strength. Then you can go to the sea climbing stage. Participants need to answer 15 consecutive multiple-choice questions from one of four correctly. If they can answer all of them correctly, they will receive a huge bonus of one million Hong Kong dollars!" A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and there was a faint smile on his face. Although the voice was soft, it sounded like thunder in the hearts of Xiao Ruoyuan and Xu Xiaoming, and everyone was stunned. Xiao Ruoyuan took the lead in regaining consciousness, contemplating it carefully, and gradually analyzing it from a professional perspective. "The temptation of huge bonuses, the contestants are not limited to any profession, the audience is wide, and the game is full of suspense...Everyone can grab the attention of the audience, how could the boss come up with this kind of show? Planning?" "If it is really done, it will definitely cause a sensation in Xiangjiang. One million Hong Kong dollars can definitely cause countless people to go crazy!" "The only drawback is that the cost is too high. If someone clears the customs, it will cost one million Hong Kong dollars!" Xiao Ruoyuan thought to himself. However, he thought of the boss''s amazing wealth, and couldn''t help smiling. One million is a lot in his opinion, but it may be very small in the eyes of the boss. "But if you really make a hit show, the advertising costs will definitely be paid back!" "What''s more, the difficulty of the problem can also be adjusted, not necessarily allowing the challenger to take away one million Hong Kong dollars!" "Boss, your plan is so good, if you make a show, you will definitely get a super high ratings!" "Yeah, boss, you are really amazing. You can think of this kind of show. If we were, we would never think of it." "..." Listening to everyone''s heartfelt flattery, Xia Yu smiled and felt uncomfortable. After all, he didn''t really think of this show, he just pursued "usage doctrine". "Okay, there is no need to flatter, this program is left to you to perfect, you should remember the points of attention." Xia Yu waved his hand to interrupt everyone''s flattery, and said lightly. When Xiao Ruoyuan and the others lifted up their spirits, they heard the boss continue to say: "The most important thing for this show is to create suspense one after another, and keep the audience''s heart. Then there is a sense of participation and substitution. You can set some rules and participate in the competition. Those who are eligible to ask for help off-site three times, have 30 seconds to make calls and ask for help from family and friends..." "Remember?" Xia Yu looked at everyone attentively. "remember!" "That''s good, now I''m talking about the last piece, a life program." Xia Yu paused, drank his mouth water to moisturize his throat, and continued: "Now that Xiangjiang has an Independent Commission Against Corruption, the overall social environment is better, but there are still many areas that are lacking. This is related to the lives of millions of lower-level citizens. Place of interest." "Our TV station is obliged to do a good job in the supervision of public opinion. This is not only beneficial to the public, but also able to quickly establish our authority and credibility." "Based on this starting point, if we can make such a program, through investigation, tracking, and hidden interviews and reports, we will expose illegal and criminal behavior in many aspects of social life, and realize the function of public opinion supervision of TV news programs." "This program, I call it "Focus Interview", is characterized by''speaking with facts''. It invites experts, scholars, citizens, civil servants of the Hong Kong government and other people of different identities to discuss hot issues in society, and guide public opinion through discussions. Public opinion pushed back on supervision and rectification." "Whether it is out of curiosity, or because it is close to the daily life of ordinary citizens and fits their immediate interests, I believe most citizens will definitely watch this kind of program, and the ratings should not be a problem." "What do you think?" After Xia Yu asked, seeing the shining worship eyes and frantic nodding in everyone''s eyes, he smiled and continued. "The last one is an emotional program. Every family will have all kinds of conflicts, big and small, different, but they don''t know how to deal with them." "Also based on people''s inferiority and gossip, the audience will definitely be curious about other people''s family affairs. We can do such a program called "Gold Medal Mediation" to create an emotional appeal platform for ordinary people." "The content is to invite one or more conflicting parties into the studio. The host and an authoritative gold medal mediator will help the parties solve their problems on the spot, and tell the audience the wisdom of confronting disputes and the art of resolving conflicts through the program. The perfect blend of variety shows will create a new program model." "The program will vigorously embody humanistic care and psychological counseling, and advocate a civilized, positive, healthy and progressive social trend. I believe the ratings will not be bad!" "These programs, plus some good programs I have now, are more than enough, right?" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Enough is enough, now I should have a headache how to adjust the program." Huang Xizhao said quickly, with a smile on her face. As the director of a TV station, his distinguishing ability is not bad. Through what the boss said just now, he knows that the ratings of these programs with their own characteristics and highlights will never be bad, especially the millionaire, he is confident to lead public opinion trend. With the support of these programs, defeating TVB will be easy. How can he be unhappy? "Boss, can I ask you some questions? I haven''t figured out some things." Xu Xiaoming put down the pen and asked courageously. "Just ask!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "thank you boss!" "The "Focus Interview" program you mentioned..." "..." Xu Xiaoming''s question was answered effectively by Xia Yu, and some other people suddenly realized that seeing the boss so approachable, they did not want to give up such a good opportunity and asked questions one after another. Xia Yu answered very patiently, telling them what he knew. Unknowingly, more than an hour passed. Xiao Ruoyuan and the others have gained a lot, and they look at the boss Xia Yu with a shocking look in their eyes, admiring from the bottom of their hearts. "Well, these programs require you to find ways to improve, and you must also strive for excellence in various lighting, hardware, hosting, etc. "After they are made, Huang Xizhao will register patents for these programs. All programs planned by the company will have to be patented, understand?" Xia Yu ordered. "understand!" Everyone responded in unison. Later, Xia Yu left the planning department in the eager and regretful eyes of everyone. As for copying so many CCTV programs for later generations, Xia Yu said, does anyone know that he copied it? "Xizhao, when these programs start to be produced, you have to make arrangements and strive to make these programs the best!" Xia Yuyu commanded Huang Xizhao earnestly. "Boss don''t worryI will!" Huang Xizhao answered solemnly. "Ok!" Taking a pat of Huang Xizhao''s shoulder, Xia Yu told him to leave. Then, Xia Yu approached Zhong Jinhui and learned about the business situation he was in charge of. Finally, before leaving, asked him to expand the scale of the global artist training class, and at the same time raise the standards in all aspects, and strive for more potential artists in the training office. From now to the future, Xia Yu has made arrangements, and he can finally rest assured of Universal Television. With the brilliant wisdom of later generations and the strong support of capital, Xia Yu does not believe that TVB can withstand it! "Alright, let TVB last a while..." "The future media and entertainment market will only belong to the world, and everything will start from the TV station..." Chapter 454: Standard Accounting Firm The best relationship between a boss and an employee is not unconditional trust, but to keep him alert and avoid him on the road of no return. Facts have proved that human nature is dark and lack of supervision will always breed corruption, so proper supervision is instead reminding and caring for subordinates, to protect them, so as not to happen in the future. Xia Yu also considered this issue. His business is already very big now, and it will be even bigger in the future. As a boss, he doesn''t have so much energy to understand everything. Each company will only be handled by subordinates. But what if he is fooled by him? A towering tree is most afraid of the internal corruption of the trunk. If one is not good, it will kill the entire towering tree. In order to avoid this situation, of course Xia Yu must have his own eyeliner and monitoring methods. For this reason, he planned to set up an accounting firm based on the government''s method of organizing and organizing. He was only responsible to him. He also thought about the name and called it a standard accounting firm. Each company''s finances are in charge of each company, but in addition, Xia Yu will appoint a standard accounting firm to review the accounts of each company and strictly investigate corruption cases. And in order to prevent the auditors of the standard accounting firm from being bought out in advance, Xia Yu has already thought about it and implemented a system of responsibility for the results of the review. buy. Since the last time he started to integrate the company, Xia Yu has entrusted Korn Ferry International to recruit elite accountants and talents proficient in the management of accounting firms. These days, after Xia Yu¡¯s interview, the staff of the standard accounting firm is constantly enriched. In order to reduce the workload of oneself, first hire the high-level directly, and then the high-level interviews with the middle and low level. In just ten days or so, the standard accounting firm has 67 people, all of whom are elites or veterans who have worked in the industry for more than ten years. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" "Boss, this is the development plan of the company I made. Please have a look." Liu Yuesong, the general manager of a standard accounting firm, walked in with a folder, presented it to Xia Yu, and said softly. "Well, let me take a look first, sit down!" Taking the folder, Xia Yu nodded and said, then flipped through it. 45-year-old Liu Yuesong sat quietly and waited patiently. Liu Yuesong was originally a vice president of PricewaterhouseCoopers Singapore branch, one of the world¡¯s four largest accounting firms. After contacting Korn Ferry, he moved to Xia Yu¡¯s new company as the general manager and was responsible from scratch. Build a standard accounting firm. It can be said that after Liu Yuesong''s ten-day performance, Xia Yu has a good impression of him. He is not only an elite accountant, but also proficient in management and proper business management, which is very suitable for his current position. "Well, the development plan you have made is generally acceptable. I have changed some of them, and you will implement them according to my changes." Putting down the pen in his hand, Xia Yu closed the folder, pushed in front of Liu Yuesong, and said lightly. For the standard accounting firm, Xia Yu certainly does not only serve himself, but also wants to build it into a world-renowned accounting firm. It would be great if it could become the fifth largest accounting firm in the world! After all, in future generations, which of the world''s four largest accounting firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, KPMG, and Ernst & Young will have revenue of less than US$25 billion? In addition to making money, the influence is amazing! Of course, this kind of goal is very difficult, but there must be a goal, right? Therefore, in response to Liu Yuesong¡¯s development plan, Xia Yu made appropriate enlargements or adjustments according to the general direction, just to allow the standard accounting firm to develop faster. "Ok!" Liu Yuesong nodded in response, picked up the folder, and prepared to go back and make a rectification plan according to the boss''s request. "By the way, Manager Liu, now the company has reached a certain number of personnel, so don''t open up foreign business first, I have something for you to do!" Xia Yu said suddenly. "Boss, please tell me!" "Now that some of my companies have to split and integrate, the accounting will be messy. In the past two months, the task of the firm is to assist these companies to integrate and split, sort out all the accounting, and help these companies complete as soon as possible. Rectification." Xia Yu ordered. Liu Yuesong''s heart moved, he probably guessed which company it was, and immediately replied respectfully: "Okay, I''ll go and organize the staff right away." "This is a plan for integration and splitting. You implement it according to the plan, and you must speed up on the premise of ensuring quality and quantity." Xia Yu opened the drawer, took out a book, and handed it to Liu Yuesong. After that, Liu Yuesong happily left the office and went out to ponder the division of labor. Seeing his leaving back, Xia Yu sighed lightly, showing a smile. It is wisest to leave professional things to professional people! With this group of elite accountants with standard accounting firms, Xia Yu believes that major companies will be in full swing, and then the process of integration and separation will be greatly accelerated. The shortcomings of accountant affairs are completed, so there is another shortcoming left! That is to have an exclusive law firm that solves all legal affairs of the entire Jiuding Consortium and provides the strongest legal backing. The establishment of the law firm was carried out simultaneously with the standard accounting firm. But law firms are more unique, and they can''t be done solely by digging people. After all, well-known elite lawyers either have their own law firm, or join a certain law firm, and are one of the shareholders, so if you want to dig people, you don¡¯t have to dig a lot. Since digging is not easy to dig, simply buy with the law firm and collect the talents under its own banner. To this end, Xia Yu arranged for personnel to conduct a survey of all private law firms in Hong Kong and Omen, and selected law firms suitable for acquisition. After ten days, five law firms suitable for acquisition were finally selected. In Hong Kong, basically the rich will have their own lawyers Those lawyers also like to do things for the rich, because the rich don¡¯t say the money is free, the most important thing is to become famous. Doing things for the rich will have a decent signboard, and authority will soon be established. Under the virtuous circle, the reputation will become greater and the cost of legal services will also increase. Because in addition to receiving a fixed high salary to do things for the company, the company does not limit to external business in free time, and Xia Yu is not stingy, so he successfully won these five law firms. Finally, after repeated inspections and deliberation, a barrister named Wei Lu was selected as the general manager of the standard law firm. After that, Xia Yu informed the general managers of all the companies under his control. In the future, the Standard Law Firm will be responsible for the legal aid affairs of all companies and is responsible for solving the legal problems and troubles of each company. With the establishment of Standard Accounting Firm and Standard Law Firm, Xia Yu only felt a little more relaxed. Busy days always go by quickly, and time unconsciously, it comes to October 1st... Chapter 455: National Day Celebration "Go to the Xiangjiang branch of Xinhua News Agency!" After Xia Yu took Li Qian and Li Wuming into the car, he told the driver. "Good boss, sit down!" After that, the car started and drove towards Hong Kong Island. Sitting in the car, Xia Yu took out an exquisite invitation letter and read it carefully. A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of Li Qian, who was sitting next to him, and asked softly, "Xia Yu, the letter of the invitation says the Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch, but they are clearly a state agency. Why use a news agency instead of setting up a separate one? What about the department?" Xia Yu looked at Li Qian''s curious look, smiled, thought for a while, and said: "There is a lot of knowledge in this, and the problem is more complicated. I will just pick a little bit and tell you." "Xinhua News Agency is a news agency on the mainland. It is similar in nature to my Jiuding News Agency. Xinhua News Agency has branches all over the world, but there is only one branch that is unique in nature, and that is the Xiangjiang branch." "Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch does not have an affiliation relationship with Xinhua News Agency. They are two completely different organizations. They belong to the central government and are in favor of the embassy. However, Xiangjiang belongs to China, and it is of course impossible for the mainland to establish an ambassador here. Pavilion, otherwise it¡¯s pushing Xiangjiang outside." "In fact, at the beginning, the Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch was a pure news organization, but then the international situation changed and there were conflicts between Taiwan and the United Kingdom. There was no way to get the Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch to come forward. That''s it." "As for the original news and communication business of Xinhua News Agency, it still exists, but it is a relatively independent subsidiary under the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency, named''Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch Chief Editor''s Office.''" "Oh, it turned out to be like this, so complicated!" Only then did Li Qian suddenly murmur. "Haha, when it comes to major events of a country and nation, how simple can it be." Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s smooth hair and said with a light smile. "Yes!" Li Qian nodded obediently and responded softly. Then, Li Qian seemed to have thought of something. She frowned and looked at Xia Yu with a worried look: "Xia Yu, since this is an official institution in the mainland, will you be in trouble if you go public today? Now Xiangjiang is back. The gossip has spread, and I heard that the United Kingdom does not intend to agree. What if you are suppressed?" Seeing Li Qian worrying about herself, Xia Yu smiled, stroked her frowning brows, and explained softly: "Don''t worry, I have considered all these things, it''s okay. After all, the gossip is gossip and it is not true. I know the situation very well." "Oh, then I can rest assured." Li Qian was relieved, patted her chest and muttered. Xia Yu smiled and looked out the window with some wonder. He participated in the National Day celebration of the Xinhua News Agency''s Xiangjiang Branch. Of course, there would be nothing wrong. Because of the memory of his previous life, he knew that Governor MacLehose would also participate. This is the first time in history that the Governor of Hong Kong participated in the National Day celebration organized by the Xinhua News Agency''s Xiangjiang Branch. , The British attitude can be imagined. Xia Yu also knew why Hong Kong Governor MacLehose would go there. According to historical development, the Sino-US "Joint Communiqu¨¦" will be signed in two months, and it will come into effect on January 1, 1979, which means that China and the United States have established diplomatic relations and normalized relations. As the boss of NATO, the United States has taken the lead in making good relations with the mainland. Why don''t those little brothers in Europe know what to do? Although the two sides have not yet formally established diplomatic relations, they must have been in discussions. The outside world does not know, but those countries must be clear. This time the British government instructed MacLehose to come here abruptly. What Xia Yu also knows is that next year, in order to create a good development environment and space for reform and opening up, the mainland will take some action (not to write what it is, and some national policies cannot be overinterpreted) to completely draw a line with the Soviet Union. The next ten years will be the honeymoon period for China and the United States, as well as the honeymoon period for the mainland and developed countries. Britain will no longer deliberately suppress Hong Kong Chinese capital, especially those who are pro-China. Similarly, the thoroughly pro-China faction like Huo Yingdong, who had been continuously suppressed by the Hong Kong government, will be relieved. As for the end of the Sino-US honeymoon period ten years later, the United Kingdom will definitely do something again. But for ten years, Xia Yu didn''t eat dry food. If he didn''t penetrate into British politics, his name could be written upside down! Want to suppress him then? Want to be beautiful! Don''t even think about issuing such decree! Xia Yu definitely has this confidence! After all, in Western countries, but capitalist countries, capital is above political power! It cannot affect the government, it can only mean that the capital is not strong enough! "Boss, here it is!" Soon, I got outside the resident of the Xiangjiang branch of the Xinhua News Agency. The car was led by the staff to the position where the car was, and the driver reminded it. "Well, let''s go down!" Xia Yu nodded, opened the door, and got off with Li Qian and Li Wuming. After Xia Yu and others got out of the car, the car started again and stopped to the parking lot following the instructions of the staff. As soon as Xia Yu''s car appeared, the observer saw it and immediately reported to the leader above. So when Xia Yu just got out of the car, he saw an energetic old man wearing a Tang costume and several subordinates walking towards Xia Yu with a smile on his face. This person Xia Yu has seen from the information, named Wang Ping, the first president of the Xiangjiang branch of the Xinhua News Agency, and the new head of the new station this year. Xia Yu smiled, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards Wang Ping with Li Qian and Li Wuming. "Mr. Xia, Ms. Li, thank you for coming, and it feels brilliant!" "President Wang, thank you for your invitation!" Wang Ping smiled heartily and shook hands with Xia Yu, obviously very happy for Xia Yu''s arrival. After all, on this special day, Xia Yu dared to come to the China National Day Reception hosted by Xinhua News Agency''s Xiangjiang Branch, which is of great significance! You know, the National Day reception is held every year, but there are not many Hong Kong bigwigs who dare to attend, that is, the few staunch mainland supporters. When the invitation letter was sent to Xia Yu, some people were worried that Xia Yu would not dare to come, and Wang Ping had the same concern. Now that Xia Yu is here, his stand is prominent, and Wang Ping is naturally happy from the heart. He is newly appointed this year. Xia Yu''s arrival can be regarded as support for him, and it can also be regarded as the highlight of his united front work this year. "Mr. Xia, please! Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao have just arrived!" Wang Ping calmly said to Xia Yu as he walked in with Xia Yu. "Oh? They came so early, it seems I am late!" Xia Yu frowned and said with a smile. "It''s not too late, they are just here, Mr. Xia, you can come is your greatest support for us!" Wang Ping quickly said and soon led Xia Yu and others into the hall. At this time, there are already many guests. The lower the status and the lower the strength, the earlier they will come. After all, those who feel that they are not enough, of course, must emphasize their attitude. When they saw Wang Ping coming in with Xia Yu, everyone was refreshed, and they all looked at Xia Yu, and many people showed a hint of excitement. Xia Yu was kind and smiled at the people around him. This scene made Wang Ping look in his eyes and feel very happy. On the special day of National Day, those who can receive invitations are either those with energy or those who are close to the mainland, and those who are willing to visit in person have no idea that they are people who have a stance toward the mainland. At this time, seeing Xiangjiang¡¯s premier Xia Tycoon came, it means that their team has grown a lot, and Xia Yu is the king of the media industry, holding a media weapon, and his power is unparalleled. Can they be unhappy? As for some of the businessmen, their minds moved quickly, and they wanted to make good use of this relationship to get to know Xia Yu and get rich with Xia Yu''s wealth. Chapter 456: The starting point of Hong Kongs recovery "Bao Sheng, Huo Sheng, Hu Sheng, good morning!" Under Wang Ping¡¯s guidance, Xia Yu quickly saw Bao Yugang and others surrounded by the crowd. It happened that they also saw Xia Yu. The people surrounding them also smiled politely at Xia Yu. The ground gave way, Xia Yu walked over, smiling and shaking hands with several people. "Xia Sheng, you are here, okay!" Seeing Xia Yu, Huo Yingdong was in a good mood, and shook hands with Xia Yu hard before letting go. Feeling that Huo Yingdong was a little strangely happy, Xia Yu was taken aback, and then he thought of the crux of the problem, and smiled, feeling a little bit in his heart. It is indeed the one who has the deepest feelings for the mainland among the big brothers in Hong Kong. "Xia Sheng, congratulations, you have been making big moves during this period of time, and we are all left behind by you!" Bao Yugang said with a smile, not jealous in his tone, but sighed and happy for Xia Yu''s rapid growth. "Bao Sheng, don''t be kidding, is it only my strength that you have not increased? The **** is still hot. My new piece of **** is superficial and not as experienced as you." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, then asked. "Bao Sheng, Xia Sheng, you guys here, which one is not a thriving career, I, people outside the business world can see it." Wang Ping interrupted and said, holding everyone together. "Hahaha..." Bao Yugang let out a hearty laugh, shaking his head with a smile, and didn''t try to argue too much, but the smile on his face showed that he was said to have been made. This is indeed the case. As a person who has been up and down in the business sea for decades and can still stand at the top, how can he be unsophisticated and extremely good at seizing opportunities? Unconsciously, his strength has grown rapidly. "By the way, Xia Sheng, I am dazzled by your methods of reorganizing the company. It seems that you are going to make a big splash in the real estate industry first?" Everyone chatted easily, unknowingly talking about the integration of Xia Yu Company, Huo Yingdong asked casually. Xia Yu acquired the Wharf Group and Golden Gate Construction. Almost everyone knows that the real estate industry, where tycoons gather, has to add another tycoon, and he is still a top competitor as soon as he enters. However, because Xia Yu swallowed more companies at once, and also established Jiuding Culture Media Group and Jiuding Financial Group, many people thought that Xia Yu should work **** these two areas first. However, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others, who paid a lot of attention to Xia Yu, took Xia Yu''s company integration process in their eyes and discovered something unusual. Hearing Huo Yingdong''s question, Xia Yu didn''t care. After all, he didn''t deliberately cover it, nor did he need to cover it. It doesn''t matter if Huo Yingdong knows it. What''s more, Huo Yingdong basically monopolized the sea sand market in Xiangjiang, and Xia Yu''s Jiuding Real Estate Group still needs his full support! "I have this idea. The real estate industry has unlimited prospects. The time is right now. It will be a pity if it is too late, Huo Sheng, you will still need to take care of it then!" Xia Yu nodded and said. "Yes, as long as I can do it, just open your mouth and I will never frown." Huo Yingdong said boldly. "Huo Sheng, don''t forget me." "Yes, Huo Sheng, my Hehe Group has opened several projects during this period. You need to provide more sand to me." Bao Yugang and Hu Yingxiang also followed. "President, time is almost up." At this moment, a subordinate came to Wang Ping and reminded him in a low voice. Wang Ping looked at the time and said to Xia Yu and others: "Everyone, the time is almost there, let''s enter!" "please!" Later, Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others followed Wang Ping to the venue, and he was arranged to sit in the first row. The other guests present also quickly took their seats. After a while, the rectification venue was full of people. "Today is a sacred holiday..." "...Play the national anthem..." Several senior officials from the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency came to the rostrum. Wang Ping solemnly read out the celebration process and then spoke again. As soon as his voice fell, the vigorous and powerful music suddenly sounded. "Get up! People who don''t want to be slaves..." When the familiar melody of the March of the Volunteers sounded, Xia Yu was full of excitement, and his heart throbbed. Then he felt a little sore in his eyes. He looked straight at the five-star red flag hanging in front of him, his mind seemed to have traveled through time and space, and returned. The era of wars and the defense of the country. In his previous life, Xia Yu felt a special feeling every time the national anthem sounded. It should be said that as long as a Chinese person with a conscience, he will stop subconsciously and listen to the solemn and majestic melody quietly. After the national anthem is over, the talents continue to take their seats, and then the next stage of the process. After the serious process, there is a relaxed celebration, and the guests can socialize or watch the performance at will. At this moment, another subordinate ran in from the outside with a serious expression and hurried steps. He came to Wang Ping''s ear and muttered a few times. Xia Yu saw Wang Ping''s expression instantly serious, and his eyes looked like a knife. , The voice asked with dignity: "Are you sure you read it right?" "President, I can assure you that I did not misread the license plate." "I know!" Wang Ping stood up as he said, just about to leave, and stopped, and said to the puzzled Bao Yugang and others: "Everyone, it seems that the governor''s car is coming. I''m going to miss it first." After speaking, Wang Ping showed an apologetic expression and walked quickly outside. "MacLehose is here?" Except for Xia Yu''s indifferent expression, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and others all looked at each other with a solemn expression, and finally they agreed surprisingly. They all went out to meet them. If MacLehose is really here, it is really making history. Whether it is out of courtesy or affection, it is not easy for them to stay inside and wait. It is best to go out to meet them. When Xia Yu and the others came to the door, they saw a black car stop, the rear door opened, and MacLehose''s figure appeared. Wang Ping walked over quickly, shook hands with MacLehose enthusiastically, and was invited by Wang Ping to walk inside. MacLehose only had time to observe his surroundings. He was not surprised to see Huo Yingdong, but when he saw Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others were there, his pupils shrank, but the surface remained calm. "Your Excellency, good morning!" "Mr. Governor, nice to meet!" ... Everyone shook hands with MacLehose to say hello, and then accompanied them to re-enter the venue. But after a while, MacLehose and Wang Ping did not know where they were going, leaving Li Hua, the second president of the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency, to preside over the celebration. On the sofa in one corner, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Hu Yingxiang and Xia Yu were sitting together. Except for Xia Yu, all three of them had a serious expression. Seeing Xia Yu''s calm and calm appearance, Bao Yugang, who was familiar with him, moved in his heart and asked aloud: "Xia Sheng, what do you think MacLehose is for this time?" Bao Yugang''s question awakened Huo Yingdong and Hu Yingxiang, and they both looked at Xia Yu together. Xia Yu frowned, and said with a chuckle: "What else can it mean? It can only be the issue of Hong Kong''s return. The British elections are only about half a year away. The old Labour Party Prime Minister Heath once said that Hong Kong will return to China sooner or later. But Thatcher, the current leader of the Conservative Party, is also a hardliner. When it comes to the dispute over the ruling line and the British foreign policy, he sent MacLehose to the front and use Xinhua News Agency to spread the news." Xia Yu owns the Jiuding News Agency, so he knows the current situation in Britain better than Bao Yugang and others. Coupled with the rich memory of past lives, he has a clear view of MacLehose''s purpose. It is a pity that the final result was not as good as the current British Prime Minister James Callaghan of the Labour Party. China¡¯s attitude was surprisingly tough and did not meet the requirements of the British side. In the end, even the House of Commons caused an internal disturbance. Xiangjiang is back! This is a sensitive issue. Although it has not yet been put on the agenda, as time approaches 1997, naturally more people have thought of this. There have been various gossips circulating in the past few years, and some people have been even earlier. Move away from Xiangjiang. "It seems that Xiangjiang''s land prices and housing prices are turbulent again." Hu Yingxiang sighed, Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang nodded together, apparently agreeing with him. Xia Yu smiled, and said, "I see it is a good time. Land prices and housing prices, as well as the Hong Kong stock market, are finally starting to get out of the quagmire. You must seize the opportunity." "Oh? Xia Sheng, are you so optimistic about the mainland?" Huo Yingdong stared, and asked solemnly. Xia Yu is not an ordinary person. He is famous for his long-term vision and sharpness. Now that he even said that, he must have his reason. Seeing the three of them all staring at him, Xia Yu smiled and said, "After all, Xiangjiang belongs to China. At the gate of China, the British can still occupy Xiangjiang? Can the mainland even dare to fight against the Soviet Union, and still be afraid. It won¡¯t happen in Britain, don¡¯t forget, now the top one is an iron man who beats the country, and the British can¡¯t stand up." "So even if MacLehose will go northward, he will definitely not please. Do you think the Xiangjiang market will recover?" After speaking, Xia Yu showed a meaningful smile. Calling the three people was not only because of a good personal relationship, but also because of the positions of Bao Yugang and others. And later, someone will definitely find that the whole market is too big, and Xia Yu can''t eat it at all, because this is related to the full recovery of the entire Xiangjiang. Where can he swallow all the benefits alone? It''s better to sell personal favors and let them get the first step. It only takes a few words to make a few people owe huge favors. Why not do it! Moreover, Bao Yugang and others have inherited Xia Yu''s favor from www.novelhall.com, and will not compete with him or harm his interests. "Thank you Xia Sheng for the point, it seems that I have to grab a few pieces of land." Bao Yugang said gratefully. "Yes, Xia Sheng, thanks for the point, I have to have more confidence, haha!" Huo Yingdong said happily. ... "You don''t need to thank you, that is, your personal opinion is not necessarily accurate, and it has misled others, so please ask a few people not to spread it." Xia Yu waved his hand and said modestly, and finally made a request. "We understand!" Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, and Hu Yingxiang said with deep smiles, understanding Xia Yu''s hidden meaning. Chapter 457: Just for layout "By the way, everyone, do you think it is necessary for us Hong Kong businessmen to organize a northward trip in a short period of time?" Suddenly, Huo Yingdong asked. As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang and Hu Yingxiang both looked solemn and fell into contemplation, obviously considering the pros and cons. As a last resort, Huo Yingdong looked at Xia Yu, wanting to understand his thoughts. After all, among the four people present, except Xia Yu, they have all gone north. If they can take Xia Yu with him next time, then the weight of the team must be heavier. As an organizer, he will naturally have a better impression. Xia Yu looked at Huo Yingdong and then at the other two people, and found that they were also looking at himself, obviously interested in his ideas and wanted to hear his views. Presumably, after hearing Xia Yu''s analysis just now, he has a certain degree of confidence in Xia Yu''s political vision and overall outlook. "Xia Sheng, what do you think, we have all been there, what are your plans?" Bao Yu just asked aloud. Xia Yu smiled and said, "If I go next time, I am willing to go together, but according to time, I don''t think this year is suitable. The beginning of the year will be almost the same." "Oh? What is there to say? Are we going after Maibei goes up?" Huo Yingdong raised his brows and asked subconsciously. Xia Yu shook his head: "No, you must set off before MacLehose goes north. After him, it will be too late. The significance and effect will be greatly reduced." "We go north at MacLehose, and the greater the momentum, the more favorable it is for the mainland, the more bargaining chips the mainland has to negotiate with the United Kingdom, and naturally the greater the benefits for us." "But at that time, we must also prepare a name that the British can''t pick up." Upon hearing this, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others nodded, obviously agreeing with Xia Yu''s statement. Just listen to Xia Yu continuing to say: "There are two most important points. During this time, there are more important things in the mainland. As far as I know, the United States is already negotiating with the mainland to establish diplomatic relations. Isn''t the high-level battle going on routes?" "The past is not suitable for us. The best time is to bring a generous gift and be the first person to eat crabs after all the dust has settled, and give the mainland the greatest support!" After finishing speaking, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved. Upon hearing this, the eyes of Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others at Xia Yu completely changed, and Bao Yugang was pleased and admired. But Huo Yingdong''s eyes on Xia Yu were very meaningful, as if he had reacquainted Xia Yu. Huo Yingdong was indeed shocked. He knew something because he had close ties with the mainland, but he didn''t expect Xia Yu to know it too, and he seemed to know more than he did. This is either because Xia Yu has a channel and background that he does not know, or it is because of his political vision, which he analyzed himself. Either way, it deserves his shock. "Xia Sheng, how do you know this?" Huo Yingdong hesitated for a while, but couldn''t help but ask. Xia Yu smiled faintly, and Feng Qingyun said indifferently: "Some of them are learned by my news agency, and some are thought of by myself." Huo Yingdong nodded slightly, did not ask any more, already had an answer in his heart. Xia Yu has both amazing business talent and outstanding political acumen, and his future is limitless! At this moment, Huo Yingdong had a very strong idea in his heart, that is, he must have a deep friendship with Xia Yu, and he would definitely benefit from it. "Old Huo, what Xia Sheng said is very reasonable, what are your plans? You have to organize this matter." Bao Yugang asked. Huo Yingdong contemplated his eyebrows, and said: "Then wait for now, and then decide at that time. If there is a plan, I will notify everyone in advance." "Well, yes!" ... Later, seeing other people approaching, Xia Yu and others stopped the topic, talked with other people, and broadened their contacts. Not long after, Xia Yu saw MacLehose and Wang Ping appear again. Afterwards, MacLehose stopped and chatted with the crowd for a few moments before hurriedly leaving, and was sent out by Wang Ping with a smile on his face. As time passed, and the celebration came to an end, some people had already begun to leave. Looking at the time, Xia Yu bid farewell to Wang Ping. "Mr. Xia, thank you again for your admiration!" Sending Xia Yu to the door, Wang Ping and Xia Yu shook hands heavily and said sincerely. "President Wang, I am grateful if you want to thank you!" Xia Yu said with a smile, the words contained deep meaning. Wang Ping''s heart moved and he took a closer look at Xia Yu. His smile became brighter. He clearly knew what Xia Yu meant and happily admitted: "This is what we should do. We have an obligation to help our overseas compatriots." "My compatriots... good compatriots..." Xia Yu chewed the words and said with a smile. "President Wang, keep in touch!" "It must be, Mr. Xia, come and sit when you have time!" ... After that, Wang Ping watched Xia Yu''s car go away, and then walked in contentedly. Xia Yu thanked Wang Ping, and it was also because Ma Qianjun reported that a force was helping Xia Yu before, but it was later discovered that it was from the north to help Ma Qianjun and the group erase the traces. This favor, Xia Yu naturally remembered in his heart. It was just for this that he thanked Wang Ping. In fact, Xia Yu intends to lean towards the mainland, not only because of personal emotional factors, but also because of general direction and strategic considerations. This is his thought after careful consideration. In this world, politics and business are integrated, and whether consortia and enterprises are strong and can stand up depends on the country behind them. And the one who can stand behind Xia Yu most firmly is only Huaxia, and only Huaxia. Unless Xia Yu can, like the future Li Jiacheng, pay homage to the British Lohill Consortium and become one of them. But this road is not suitable for Xia Yu, because he is unwilling to be someone else''s younger brother! Not willing to be slaughtered! If Xia Yu wants to be the eldest brother, he will naturally become a target. This is inevitable. Of course, he needs a strong force behind him. Any consortium needs the support of the government behind it, or it controls the government for its own use, and the government has to be strong enough. Don¡¯t you see later generations The United States has fined the German Volkswagen 18 billion US dollars? What is the reason? Fraudulent sewage! But why did Germany, as the leader of the European Union, refuse to give the United States face and issue a fine after joining the AIIB? Since Germany wants to unite with China to challenge the hegemony of the US dollar and harm the interests of the consortium behind the Federal Reserve, American capitalists are certainly not willing to directly target the largest public in the German troika. Although the public is controlled by the Porsche family, it is in the EU and Germany as a whole. In terms of interests, isn''t it implicated? Who let the United States dominate? Who made the American troops stationed in Germany? Who makes Germany less powerful in front of the United States? The consequence is naturally that the German consortium was suppressed by the American consortium manipulating the government! The French Gallic Chicken, the second most important member of the European Union, has finance and luxury goods as its pillars. It is also one of the top five gangsters. It is usually flabbergasted and often does not give the United States face. However, France is the only European power that has not been stationed by the United States. Too lazy to offend him, thankless! Because France is strong enough, even if it often scans the face of the United States, the consortium in France is still alive and well, unlike the consortium in Germany, which is recklessly suppressed and aggrieved! This shows the importance of a country to the consortium. And if Xia Yu''s Jiuding consortium becomes stronger in the future, without a strong backer or ally, it will naturally become the prey of others. If Xia Yu wants to grow solidly, the only reliance is China. These worries of Xia Yu are extremely likely to happen in the future, so he must plan ahead. Otherwise, it will be too late to wait until later. After all, the trust and support of a country can not be obtained simply. The old saying goes well, it is better to give charcoal in the snow! In the most difficult time for China, Xia Yu gave support, mutual assistance and mutual assistance with the mainland, and accelerated mutual growth. If he planned properly and merged into the top level, it would not be impossible to become a chess player. The Huo family of later generations obviously succeeded in half. Since the Huo family can, Xia Yu is confident to do better, truly integrate into the top level and become a behind-the-scenes chess player! And now is the perfect time for layout! As for worrying that China''s rise will not be able to keep up, there is no way to give him the strongest support. Xia Yu also considered this. This question is also an opportunity! With the precious wealth of previous lives, Xia Yu is confident to help Huaxia avoid detours and make Huaxia develop in big strides! These achievements will be a strong support to help him join the top level! Chapter 458: Happy President''s Office on the top floor of Jiuding Building Headquarters. As soon as Xia Yu came back from the newspaper company, she saw Li Qian staring at the phone in a daze, her beautiful little face was full of entanglement, and because of her ecstasy, she didn''t even notice Xia Yu when she came back. Li Qian''s abnormality was noticed by Xia Yu, and he whispered: "Qianqian, what''s the matter?" Li Qian regained her consciousness, and when she saw Xia Yu, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her towering chest, and muttered, "Scare me!" Xia Yu showed apology, hugged her from behind, and comforted her warmly: "Sorry, I scared you. It''s me." "It''s my fault. I just lost my mind and didn''t realize that you are back." Li Qian said softly. "What happened just now, did you have any troubles?" Xia Yu hugged Li Qian onto the sofa, let her sit in her arms, and asked softly. Li Qian narrowed her smile, pursed her mouth, and whispered in Xia Yu''s puzzled eyes: "I answered a call just now and it was for you. If you were not there just now, she asked me to pass it on to you." "Who is calling?" Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s jade hand and asked casually. "She said her name was He Chaoqiong, and she said she was waiting for you in the old place!" Li Qian was silent for a few seconds and said slowly. Xia Yu''s movements froze, then returned to normal, and softly responded, "Oh!" After speaking, the office fell into silence. "Cici, I..." "Honey, go quickly, don''t let her wait for a long time, it''s not good!" For a long time, as soon as Xia Yu spoke, Li Qian said with a smile, Shui Lingling''s big eyes looked at Xia Yu calmly, her beautiful eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of impurities. But Xia Yu can still feel that Li Qian''s heart is not peaceful, she deliberately pretended not to care, just didn''t want him to be embarrassed. Xia Yu hugged Li Qian tightly into his arms and said softly, "Xian Qian, I''m sorry." Li Qian smiled like a flower, turned her head to the side, looked at Xia Yu with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and said, "I should be said to be sorry. If it wasn''t me, she should be lying in your arms now, and I am the latecomer. I snatched you over." Xia Yu opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, when he saw Li Qian struggling out of his arms, he said encouragingly: "Go ahead, don''t make girls wait in a hurry, it''s not right to make girls sad!" Xia Yu smiled bitterly, did not stand up immediately, looked directly at Li Qian and said, "Is it right to make you sad?" Li Qian is not sad, but her smile is even sweeter. Her fingers drew circles around Xia Yu''s heart, and she whispered, "I know you love me, that''s enough!" "Go ahead, remember to bring it back, you haven''t introduced us to each other yet!" Li Qian stood up, pulled Xia Yu up, and urged. "wait me back!" Xia Yu didn''t say much, he hugged her for a long time and kissed her for a long time before letting go, gave Li Qian a deep look, and walked outside after speaking. He personally sent Xia Yu out and watched the elevator door close. Li Qian narrowed his smile, closed the door, and leaned against the door. Her performance just now was done deliberately. The more she pretended not to care, the more she actually cared, but she didn''t want Xia Yu to be embarrassed. For this scene, Li Qian had already prepared for it. She knew that this was going to happen sooner or later, and it had been delayed until now, which exceeded her expectations. Although she has been together with Xia Yu for three or four months, she has been immersed in Xia Yu''s meticulous care and love and does not want to wake up, just wanting to go on like this for a lifetime. But Li Qian has always had a scepticism in her heart, that is, she is a latecomer, just a mistake to become Xia Yu''s woman, and then Xia Yu can avoid contacting He Chaoqiong for her, and He Chaoqiong, the girl, is the most innocent. And more importantly, the more I understand Xia Yu, and the more I become obsessed with Xia Yu, Li Qian also feels inferior. After all, Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong are the right pair. She is just a poor girl with no father and no mother, and nothing compares to He Chaoqiong. Although she did everything she could to do everything well, she still knew that she could not help Xia Yu too much. She was like a vase. She couldn''t help Xia Yu, but enjoyed Xia Yu''s love. Like a dream, it gave her an unreal feeling. She didn''t know how to survive after leaving Xia Yu! And she also knows how attractive Xia Yu is to women. Even if Xia Yu does not take the initiative to touch the flowers and grasses in the future, there will be countless women rushing towards the fire like moths. She can''t stop it, she wants Xia Yu It is simply unrealistic to love her alone, and she does not have the qualifications and confidence to demand this. Therefore, Li Qian would think about this issue on many nights when she was alone in the vacant room. Later, after feeling Xia Yu''s love for her, she wanted to open it. Since there is no way to leave Xia Yu, then ignore this matter, as long as Xia Yu loves her, that''s enough! She is just a wild flower by the roadside. It is a blessing to get a ray of sunshine. Besides, she has enjoyed the care of the sun for four months alone. She is content... As long as He Chaoqiong doesn''t force her, she doesn''t care... ... "parking!" When the car came to the beach, after Xia Yu asked the driver to stop, he immediately opened the door and looked into the distance. He suddenly found a beautiful figure sitting on a big rock on the beach, facing the sea, her black hair was blown by the soft sea breeze. Constantly floating. On the other side, a car was also parked, and two bodyguards were standing by the car, watching the girl in the distance. Xia Yu glanced at the two bodyguards and then withdrew his gaze, telling Li Wuming not to follow him, and then took a deep breath and walked over there. The sound of footsteps from behind awakened the stunned He Chaoqiong. She turned her head, and when she saw Xia Yu, she suddenly smiled with surprise, stood up and said: "Xia Yu, you are here. Ouch..." "Be careful!" It may be that the feet are numb after sitting for a long time. He Chaoqiong suddenly stood up and couldn''t stand at all. He exclaimed, his smile disappeared instantly, and he wanted to fall back. Xia Yu was startled and screamed. He Chaoqiong''s hand hugged her into his arms. "Hey..." Lying on Xia Yu''s fiery chest, He Chaoqiong was immediately dumbfounded. "Chao Qiong, are you okay?" Xia Yu let go of her a little, looked down at her beautiful face, and asked concerned. He Chaoqiong, who was dizzy, recovered. While his face turned red, he also showed a shy smile, and said softly: "I''m fine, but my feet are a little numb and I can''t stand firm." "Oh!" Xia Yu responded softly and did not let go of her, worrying that she would still be unstable. He Chaoqiong didn''t speak either, but quietly leaned against Xia Yu''s arms, but the red earlobes showed her uneasy heart. After a long time, Xia Yu asked, "Are the legs better?" "Yeah! Xia Yu, let me go!" He Chaoqiong reluctantly said, separated from Xia Yu''s arms, turned his head to look at the sea, not daring to look at Xia Yu''s face. Xia Yu smiled, did not speak, and sat directly on the rock, then waved to He Chaoqiong: "Chaoqiong, come and sit down." "Ok!" In response, He Chaoqiong sat beside Xia Yu. "Chao Qiong, how is this time?" Seeing He Chaoqiong still blushing, Xia Yu smiled, and in order to take care of her emotions, he took the lead in provoking the topic. "Ok!" He Chaoqiong responded softly, and fell silent again. After a long time, He Chaoqiong plucked up the courage to look at Xia Yu, and the emotion in her beautiful eyes seemed to overflow. "Xia Yu, I was here at the beginning, do you remember what you said to me?" He Chaoqiong pursed his mouth, Yu hand held the pendant on his chest, and asked expectantly and nervously. Xia Yu nodded and solemnly said: "I dare not forget! I said, I like you!" He Chaoqiong smiled suddenly, his eyes moisturized, and she said with joy and sadness: "If my brother hadn''t come suddenly, I would have said it, and so many things would not happen later." "Chao Qiong, don''t cry, your face won''t be pretty if you cry!" Xia Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. While comforting, he gently wiped the tears from the corner of He Chaoqiong''s eyes with his sleeves. Unexpectedly, he wiped the tears instantly. "Then Xia Yu, let me ask you, do you... do you still like me?" He Chaoqiong said with a cry of tears, Yushou tightly grasped the pendant on her chest, as if the pendant had the power to support her. Xia Yu was silent for a moment, and before He Chaoqiong was about to collapse in disappointment, he nodded heavily: "I have always liked you!" Suddenly, He Chaoqiong burst into laughter and threw himself directly into Xia Yu''s arms, hugging Xia Yu tightly, and chanting joyfully with a crying voice: "I knew it, you must still like me, I knew..." "Chao Qiong, don''t cry, be good..." Who knows, the more Xia Yu comforted, the more excited He Chaoqiong''s mood became, as if he wanted to release the previously suppressed emotions at once. No way, Xia Yu could only hold her tightly, caress her back, and soothe her emotions. I don''t know how long it took before He Chaoqiong finished venting, and her eyes became red and swollen, but He Chaoqiong did not notice either. She looked at Xia Yu happily, her eyes full of joy and affection. "Xia Yu, am I your girlfriend now?" Seeing He Chaoqiong''s expectant gaze, Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I am your boyfriend!" "It''s great, it''s like dreaming!" He Chaoqiongzhen leaned on Xia Yu''s shoulder and murmured happily. Hearing He Chaoqiong''s whisper, Xia Yu smiled. The two stayed quietly for a while, and realized that He Chaoqiong''s mood had calmed down, and Xia Yu realized that it was time to speak. "Chao Qiong, you should know my current situation, right?" "I know, are you talking about sister Li Qian?" He Chaoqiong was taken aback first, then realized what Xia Yu was referring to, and said to Xia Yu with a smile. He Chaoqiong''s reaction surprised Xia Yu. He raised his brow and blurted out, "You call her sister?" "Isn''t she, she''s older than me, why don''t you call your sister?" He Chaoqiong asked rhetorically. "Haha, that''s right, I''m calling sister!" Xia Yu is not a fool after all. Seeing He Chaoqiong''s performance, he immediately guessed her thoughts and said with a smile, feeling very happy. "Xia Yu, don''t worry, I actually wanted to open it a long time ago. If it wasn''t for my brother''s sudden arrival, I would like to tell you that I don''t mind, as long as you like me." "Who knows that my daddy would not allow me to contact you later. I was seen so badly. Hey, it was the two people over there. They were so annoying. Where did I go and where I followed, and I would pick me up after school. I''m not allowed to call." With that said, He Chaoqiong''s face was full of resentment, as if he had suffered great grievances, and he could hang an oil bottle with his mouth pursing. "By the way, Xia Yu, when I called just now, Sister Li Qian had a very good attitude, but I was still a little worried whether she would..." "Don''t worry, she has a very good personality, just like you. Before coming, she asked me to take you back with you!" "really?" "Of course it''s true. Why don''t you come back with me now, do you guys meet?" Xia Yu asked with a smile, with some expectations in her heart. He Chaoqiong was a little moved, but she calmed down again. She looked at Xia Yu, pursing her mouth and said, "It''s better next time, I''m not ready, next time I bring a gift, Xia Yu, what kind of gift Sister Li Qian likes? ?" "She, as long as you prepare it carefully, she will like it. You don''t have to deliberately pick expensive or special ones." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Yes Then I have to think about it..." "Xia Yu, the sun is going to set, you see how beautiful the sunset is!" "The sunset is as beautiful as you are." "Really? Hehe..." ... A emotional crisis could be solved so easily. Xia Yu felt very dreamy. He could only sigh that God treats himself well, and the happiness of the Qi people is so easily achieved. This is also good, it saves him from worrying about feelings and can devote more energy to his career. The future is destined to be beautiful... PS: In my opinion, it is the best to write this way. Although it has lowered the level, it looks more relaxed. I really hate the emotional line of intrigue. I am tired of seeing it. I am not good at it. The main line of this book is business struggle. , After all, emotional drama is just a seasoning, just appropriate. Chapter 459: Layout foreign exchange market Galaxy Fund Company meeting room. Eight people including Liu Xiao, Xue He, Song Yang waited quietly, watching the boss Xia Yu looking at the reports and plans they provided. After the last time the boss raised the point, the four groups tried their best to collect relevant information and then conduct internal analysis. There are some things that can''t be figured out, and each group will sit and discuss it together. Just to make my plan more perfect. Time passed unconsciously, Xia Yu put down the last report, showing a satisfied look, and his eyes looked at everyone with satisfaction. "I have read all of your reports, and I have done a solid job. I have indeed worked hard and have a clear idea. I have not been disappointed!" Xia Yu exclaimed. Smiles appeared on everyone''s faces. Xia Yu weighed several reports in his hands, revealing an interesting look, and said: "The reports you have made believe that the yen exchange rate has a greater opportunity, and international crude oil and gold are behind for good reasons." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused and scanned around and found that everyone was looking at him intently, for fear of missing every word of him. "From 1973 to the present, the yen has been appreciating. The previous three years have been fine, but since 1976, the yen exchange rate has fluctuated greatly. It has risen from 293 yen to 1 U.S. dollar to the current 241 days. Yuan to 1 U.S. dollar." "The reason is obvious, everything is caused by the depreciation of the dollar." "Since 1976, after the Interim Committee of the International Monetary Fund signed the Jamaica Agreement at the Jamaica meeting, it decided to use special withdrawal rights as the main international reserve asset to demonetize gold and recognize the legality of floating exchange rates. Within two years, the U.S. dollar Depreciation by more than 10%!" "Now, although the yen has been forced to appreciate by nearly 20%, in my opinion, the impact of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar has not subsided. You also think so in your report. It seems that our thinking is in the same general direction." "But in your report, you all estimate that there is still room for the yen to appreciate. The most conservative is to 220 yen to 1 U.S. dollar. The most daring is Liu Xiao, who thinks it can appreciate to 205 yen to 1 U.S. dollar. ." Xia Yu paused, with a meaningful smile on his face, and gave Liu Xiao an admiring look. This made the hearts of several other people with relatively conservative estimates, knowing that they had not kept up with the boss''s ideas, and Liu Xiao was ahead of them. "My judgment is that the yen will appreciate to the level of 195 yen to 1 U.S. dollar!" When Xia Yu said his judgment, everyone was shocked, and subconsciously sat up straight, contemplating why the boss would analyze this way. Xia Yu has this judgment. First, he has the memory of his previous life. After all, many financial tycoons have come from this era. Of course, he is deeply impressed by this major opportunity. The second point is that Xia Yu judged it from the existing information. With his ability, he can judge the same without needing to remember. According to repeated deductions based on known news, Xia Yu is very sure that the yen will appreciate to about 200 yen to 1 U.S. dollar, and if it goes up, he is not so sure. But with the memory of his previous life, he certainly knew that the yen would eventually appreciate to 195, and then began a relatively long course of devaluation. With Xia Yu''s ability, it can be deduced with confidence that the yen can rise to 200 points. However, Liu Xiao can also analyze with reason and believe that the yen can rise to 205 points. Other people''s judgments are 220 points, 214 points and 210 points respectively. This shows that Liu Xiao''s thinking ability and talent are indeed better than others. I was even more impressed with Liu Xiao, and Xia Yu didn''t say anything, but he planned to increase his training. But other people are not too bad, although they are not as good as Liu Xiao, they are definitely elites outside. "You continue to analyze the international crude oil futures and the international gold market, but before that, you can enter the foreign exchange market to operate the yen. There may be slight fluctuations in the short-term halfway, but in the long-term, the appreciation is certain." "No matter how you operate, I only have one requirement, that is, before December 10, you must complete the delivery and exit the market. If you are close to the 195 line before then, then decisively leave. If you don¡¯t reach it, then don¡¯t Hesitate and do what I said." "As for why you did this, think about it yourself. There are two months left for you to observe and think. At that time, I will read your report again." "Remember, don''t catch one bank for the four funds of yours. Try to choose one each and choose from a comprehensive consideration." "Okay, I''ll just say this, do you have any questions?" Xia Yu let out a long breath, glanced at everyone, and asked. "No more!" Everyone immediately shook their heads, and Xue He directly said no. After all, the boss Xia Yu has set the bottom line and general direction. What else do they have to ask. If you have to ask the boss clearly about everything, doesn''t it appear that they are rubbish? "Well, that''s all for today''s meeting. The meeting is over!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, everyone bowed respectfully to Xia Yu and then left the scene slowly. After everyone left, Xia Yu sat in his place and thought quietly for a while, showing an expectant smile. The island country¡¯s current exchange rate is 241 yen to 1 U.S. dollar. Although Xia Yu only remembers the key figures and can¡¯t remember the exact time, if the estimation is not wrong, on December 10, the exchange rate of 205 yen to 1 U.S. dollar is No problem. Funds 1 to 4 add up to 570 million Hong Kong dollars. In recent years, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar has been very stable. According to the current exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar, it is 4.6 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar, and 570 million Hong Kong dollars can be converted into 124 million US dollars. Then convert the U.S. dollar to Japanese yen, which is nearly 30 billion yen. But if by December 10, if the yen appreciates to 205 yen, it will be exchanged for 1 U.S. dollar, 30 billion yen can be converted into 146 million U.S. dollars. Converting into Hong Kong dollars is 670 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is no problem to earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars! But for this opportunity, Xia Yu already has full confidence, how could he be willing to let it go! With such a high chance of success and zero leverage, it is definitely a fool! Of course you have to go with high leverage! Considering the issue of the yen''s market capacity, and taking into account the factors that affect volatility, of course, leverage can be used as much as possible. Of course, the premise is that the selected island country banks are strong and dare to give ultra-high leverage! Back at the headquarters of Jiuding Building , I received a call from Huang Xizhao, and Xia Yu asked him to come as soon as possible. Not long after, Huang Xizhao came to Xia Yu''s face with confidence, and handed a document to Xia Yu expectantly. "Boss, please take a look. This is the development of Universal Television in the past half month, and the rest is the preparation of the "Millionaire" program." "Sit down first, Cici, and pour him a cup of tea." "Oh, no need, I can do it myself!" Seeing Li Qian coming over to pour tea for him, Huang Xizhao, who had just sat down, jumped up like a burning buttocks, and said that he went to pour tea by herself. Just kidding, although he has just joined Xia Yu''s team not long ago, his eyesight is not bad. He has already seen that Li Qian is definitely not as simple as the boss''s personal secretary. How dare he let Li Qian pour him tea. Li Qian had no choice but to go back and sit next to him. Xia Yu shook his head slightly without speaking, and continued to browse. Chapter 460: The beginning of the rise After a long time, Xia Yu put down the report in his hand, looked at Huang Xizhao who was sitting properly, and praised: "The TV station''s performance during this period is not bad! You are doing well!" "Boss, mainly relying on the quality and influence of the "Dragon Ball" animation itself, we did nothing." Huang Xizhao said modestly, but the smile at the corner of his eyebrows revealed that he was happy inside. "Don''t be humble. Of course, there are reasons for "Dragon Ball", but except for the time when "Dragon Ball" is broadcast, the ratings of Universal TV have increased to a certain extent. It can be seen that you are indeed well managed." Xia Yu said with a smile, affirming his achievements. "I heard that Wireless introduced an island animation the day before yesterday. It seems that they should have failed, right?" Xia Yu glanced at the ratings again and asked Huang Xizhao. This report only wrote about the development of Global Television Station, but not about the situation of TVB. But when the ratings of the latest two episodes of "Dragon Ball" animation are still above 34%, he can judge that wireless should have failed. After all, the ratings for the first broadcast of "Dragon Ball" are not lower than 30% in these two weeks and Saturdays, or even higher every week. The day before yesterday¡¯s premiere ratings hit a record high, which shows that TVB¡¯s plan failed. Sure enough, Huang Xizhao''s answer confirmed Xia Yu''s guess. "Yes, the boss, TVB has spent a lot of effort to advertise, but unfortunately the animation imported from the island country has no audience base and has little influence." "One more thing, I also watched the anime broadcasted wirelessly. Although it was broadcast on Saturday and Sunday, but because of a translation problem and the reason that the anime songs are Japanese songs, it looks awkward and the quality is not good. On our "Dragon Ball." "So the ratings for the first broadcast on Saturday were very low. I heard it was only 6.7%. I didn''t take it back." "It was even yesterday and Sunday, and I met our "Dragon Ball" rebroadcast. They played the third and fourth episodes. The ratings were lower than Saturday, only 5.8%. It seemed that the audience didn''t like it." Speaking of this, Huang Xizhao couldn''t help but gloat. Xia Yu was also a little surprised, but shook his head and didn''t ask more. After all, he has been cultivating the field of manga and animation for so long, and the mass base has long been fixed. You can count on the island country''s imports to compete with "Dragon Ball." You know, time has passed, and now "Zhiyin Manke" is in the island country comic market, where can island country animation be wild on Hong Kong Island. He didn''t pay much attention to TVB in the first place. It was only a matter of time before TVB was suppressed by his Global TV station. Now it is better for TVB to make a wrong move. "Look at your report, "Millionaire" is all ready, ready to start?" "Yes, everything is ready, so I will ask you now to see when it will start." "You don''t have to wait, you can proceed according to the plan. The first episode of the program and the advertising space are all given to other brother companies. After the effect is achieved, the advertising will be launched. The louder the noise, the better." "The first episode of the program is to reduce the difficulty of the problem. You have to find a way to send out one million Hong Kong dollars to detonate public opinion, but you have to be optimistic and don''t allow people to do tricks, understand?" In the end, Xia Yu''s tone was very serious. "understand!" Huang Xizhao nodded in his heart and nodded heavily. He would pay attention to this without the boss reminding him. After all, this show was directed by the boss. The prospects are boundless, so naturally he can''t fall into his hands. He can''t afford this responsibility. ... In the evening, the marketing of "Millionaire" started. After a program with the highest ratings on Global TV, a short promotional video followed immediately, with alluring female voices reaching millions of households. "Do you want to be a millionaire?" "Do you want to get rich overnight?" "Do you want to change your destiny?" "Can your knowledge sell for a million?" "..." Xia Mansion, after dinner, Xia Yu and his family sat together and watched TV. As soon as this video came out, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother who had been chatting immediately stopped talking and watched the video on TV intently. When the short film ended, Xia''s father looked at his elder son Xia Yu, who was satisfied, and quickly asked: "A Yu, can you really get 1 million Hong Kong dollars by answering 15 questions correctly?" "Of course it can, and there will definitely be someone who can take away one million Hong Kong dollars!" Looking at his parents who were staring at him, Xia Yu smiled and nodded. "A Yu, you used the money? How come you give so much, a million, just use it to reward others, you..." Seeing Xia Yu''s admission, Xia''s mother was a little anxious and said to Xia Yu with a distressed face. She wanted to say a lot, but found that she could not tell her elder son, and she felt uncomfortable. Xia Yu smiled and said warmly, "Mom, don''t feel bad. I can put out a million, and I can earn it back. Someone will do the decapitation, but where do you see a merchant doing business at a loss?" Father Xia, who wanted to speak, was stunned. When he thought that it was true, he said to his wife: "Yes, Amei, A Yu said well. You must invest in business. If A Yu can earn it back, let''s not Worry." "Okay! I don''t understand business matters, so I won''t talk about it." Xia Mu nodded dumbfoundedly. "Watch TV..." ... That night, in the entire Xiangjiang, at least one-third of the citizens knew that Universal Television was going to host a program called "Millionaire", and also knew the specific rules, as long as they stood on the stage and answered 15 questions correctly. You can take away one million Hong Kong dollars! And if the answer is to withdraw halfway, you can also take away the accumulated cash. Although it is not as much as one million Hong Kong dollars, it is very possible to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands! The chance of getting rich overnight was nakedly exposed to everyone, and the people at the bottom who heard the news were completely crazy. After learning the news, many people called their relatives and friends as soon as possible to let them watch the programs of Universal Television and wait for the rebroadcast of the advertisement. Because of this phenomenon, the overall ratings of Universal Television that night unexpectedly surpassed TVB, which shows the madness of the audience. In the early morning of the next day, as a series of newspapers such as "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" were freshly released, news about the "Millionaire" program held by Universal Television covered the entire Xiangjiang River. Public opinion was directly pushed to the peak. No one doubts the authenticity of the program. After all, almost everyone knows that Universal TV is owned by the stock **** Xia Yu. The **** of stock has pulled out more than one million leg hairs, and it is absolutely impossible to ruin his reputation because of one million Hong Kong dollars. Even many people regard the "Millionaire" program as a stock **** who is kindly giving money and wanting to participate to get rich. In places such as buses, schools, companies, exchanges, restaurants, etc., there are people talking about the program "Millionaire" with relish, and many people are confidently rushing to the sea selection point set by Universal Television. For a time, all ten audition points lined up. After this phenomenon was reported back to Global TV, everyone was excited, and Huang Xizhao even gave orders to ensure the smooth progress of the audition, and to have all departments check it again to ensure that the program went on smoothly. ... Wireless TV station. Shao Yifu sat in the office, and after listening to the reports from his subordinates, he sent the subordinates out with a serious face. As the manager, Fang Yihua walked behind Shao Yifu and massaged his temples, and said in a sour tone: "Yifu, Global TV has money and nowhere to spend it. He even said that he would use one million Hong Kong dollars for a program. I don¡¯t believe they will actually take it out, and we will see how they end up." "No, you are wrong. One million is not in the eyes of the young stock god, and he is at least one million Hong Kong dollars for the show. Didn¡¯t you read the rules? Those who answered all 15 questions got one Millions of Hong Kong dollars, those who give up the challenge after answering seven or eight questions correctly can still get tens of thousands of bonuses." Shao Yifu solemnly analyzed his face and said that his heart was under great pressure. Even he felt heartache for Xia Yu. With his accustomed to careful calculation, he would never spend so much money on a program unless he saw that there was enough income. "I met an opponent who didn''t lack money. It really was a big trouble. Using money to create problems for me, this... hey..." Shao Yifu sighed deeply, feeling bitter. This is what makes him feel suffocated the most. He wants to compare talents with others, but others use the most direct and rude money offensive. This feeling really makes him uncomfortable. This is not bullying! It''s great to be rich! "The husband, how should we deal with it? According to the current situation, this program should be successful, and we will have big trouble." "Why don''t we make a similar one?" Fang Yihua asked solemnly. Shao Yifu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Now it¡¯s too late to do it, and first, I don¡¯t know how effective this "Millionaire" program is, and second, I don¡¯t know what the essence is, so I ventured to do something similar. Yes, it''s not very useful." "Then we can only watch?" Fang Yihua asked unwillingly. Shao Yifu felt a bit complicated, and slowly nodded: "Yes, the best way now is to respond to changes with the same change, and then wait for the opportunity to act. This is the best policy." "Ok!" "Then I will send someone to watch ~ www.novelhall.com~ as soon as there is any situation, I will report it immediately." Fang Yihua said. "Well, you go to make arrangements and remember not to do what you shouldn''t do. The situation is different now. Commercial competition is really normal. You have to get used to it slowly." Shao Yifu thought for a while, agreed with Fang Yihua''s idea, and told her at the same time. He saw some things that Fang Yihua did before, but he didn¡¯t stop it, because he didn¡¯t worry about what the other two TV stations could do, but now he has no bottom, so he naturally asked Yihua to give a reminder to avoid bad things. end. Fang Yihua was taken aback, then silently nodded and said, "I know." In fact, although Fang Yihua liked to use small methods when dealing with Jiashi and Li''s TV stations, it did not mean that she was stupid. After all, the current Global TV station is different. The boss Xia Yu is not a good person. For this young man with various bad rumors, Fang Yihua is a little scared in his heart, dare to use any small tricks. Chapter 461: Show start The "Millionaire" program is recorded and broadcasted from 9 to 10 pm every Friday night, and the length of the program is one hour. Originally, according to Huang Xizhao''s idea, I didn''t want to go head-to-head with wireless at this time. Because TVB¡¯s first ace show "Happy Tonight" is every Friday night from 9:30 to 11:20. In the past ten years, both Jiashi and the former Li TV station have challenged "Happy Tonight" several times, but unfortunately they all lost the battle. I can only watch "Happy Tonight" dominate this time every Friday. segment. The variety show "Happy Tonight" was prepared by Cai Heping, a talented TV producer who was only 21 years old at the time. It took five months to observe the culture and life of the Xiangjiang people and finally produced it. Then it became a hit! It has been 11 years since 1967, and the show "Happy Tonight" has dominated for 11 years, and the other two TV stations can''t breathe. Fortunately, "Happy Tonight" is also played every Friday and the market is 110 minutes. But now, the "Millionaire" program, which Huang Xizhao had high hopes for, was asked by the boss to arrange it until Friday evening from 9 to 10 pm, and the latter half of the hour overlapped with "Happy Tonight". Although Huang Xizhao has great confidence in "Millionaire", he is a little nervous in the face of competition. Moreover, the competition between the two powers will almost always be the result of both losers. Huang Xizhao does not want the debut of "Millionaire" to be affected. But reluctantly, the boss made such a decision, Huang Xizhao could only obey, and then tried every means to promote, and fiercely fight wireless. If it really breaks the golden body of "Happy Tonight", then it will really be released! Huang Xizhao would think so because he hadn''t reached the height of Xia Yu, and the structure was smaller. Xia Yu has confidence in the show "Millionaire", of course he has to head-on. The two armies confronted each other. Of course, they must first defeat the handsome camp and defeat the enemy with unrelenting determination and confidence. Even if you are injured, what about it? If the ratings of the first issue are affected, as the king of the media of Hong Kong, he has the means to assist "Millionaire", wave after wave of attacks, and shatter the myth of "Happy Tonight". This time because of the length of the program, only half an hour overlapped, so the remaining time after 10 o''clock will be handed over to the next program in the future. Not urgent! Not urgent! Xia Yu has no shortage of wonderful ideas. Step by step, TVB is destined to be stepped on. Soon, the time jumped to 9 o''clock in the evening. Huang Xizhao once again came to the backstage monitoring area, staring at the ratings, and seeing that the ratings had more than doubled in the same period, his heart stirred. "Welcome to watch the "Millionaire" program of Universal Local Hong Kong and Taiwan. I am the host Yu Hua!" At the beginning of the TV show, there was a young host who was vigorous and handsome. He stood in the middle of the studio and spoke with a microphone. "Do you want to become rich overnight? Do you want to become famous overnight? Do you want to be a millionaire? Do you want to light up a cigarette with banknotes? What are you waiting for? Come and join our answers!" The host Yu Hua flicked his arm, pointed his finger at the camera, his eyes became extremely sharp, and said in a passionate voice. In the lens, it can be seen that the audience sitting in the audience has become blushing, and it is obviously tickled by Yu Hua''s words. Xia Yu, who was watching TV with Li Qian in the cabin of love, saw this scene and smiled with satisfaction, obviously satisfied with the atmosphere created by Yu Hua. This Yu Hua is not the original well-known host, but a new one. According to the requirements of the program, the selection of the host was very harsh. Huang Xizhao did not discuss seniority, but called all the hosts to conduct an internal selection. In the end, Yu Hua stood out. Although Yu Hua is young, he already has a solid foundation, and his hosting style has taken shape. He has a strong personal touch and appeal. He seems to be always passionate and able to mobilize people''s emotions without knowing it. Without losing his reason, it can be said that he has a certain degree of attainment in grasping people''s hearts. This kind of ability and characteristic is perfect for the "Millionaire" program where the host must know how to create suspense. To know whether a show is good or not, a gold host is the key! And Yu Hua did not let Xia Yu down! Then, Yu Hua briefly talked about the program''s challenge rules, and read all the contestants selected through the sea selection. He didn''t drag his feet and entered the answering session neatly. "The first question, who is the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of my country''s four great masterpieces?" "A: Cao Xueqin. B: Shi Naian. C: Luo Guanzhong. D: Wu Chengen." The first challenger was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was obviously not a low educator. He smiled and confidently said: "I choose C, Luo Guanzhong." "Congratulations, you got it!" The difficulty of the first question is very low. This is deliberately lowering the difficulty to avoid an embarrassing start, so Yu Hua didn''t deliberately praised it, said with a smile, and started the knowledge explanation. "The four great classics refer to the four great classics of Chinese classics, which are "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the order of their writing." "The author of "Water Margin" is Shi Naian, the author of "Three Kingdoms" is Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Journey to the West" is Wu Chengen, and the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is Cao Xueqin, so C is the correct answer." Knowledge explanation is also a bright spot. The audience can broaden their horizons through the program and learn a lot of knowledge. This is a good publicity bright spot. "Next, please listen to the second question!" "Which is the first chronological history book with detailed records in our history?" "A: "Mandarin". B: "Zuo Zhuan". C: "Spring and Autumn". D: "Warring States Policy"." The man with glasses still looked confident, and replied decisively: "I choose C "Spring and Autumn." "Congratulations, you got it!" ""Chun Qiu", namely "Chun Qiu Jing", also known as "Lin Jing" or "Lin History", is one of the "six classics" of ancient Chinese Confucian classics, and it is also the national history of Lu in the Zhou Dynasty..." ... "Please listen to the fifth question!" "In ancient China, twenty is called a weak crown, and thirty is standing, then eighty is?" "A: Know the destiny. B: Rare in ancient times. C: Old age. D: Sixties (hu¨¡ji¨£)." "I choose C, old age. Twenty weak crown, 30 standing, 40 confused. Fifty knows the fate of heaven, sixty sixties, seventy years old, eighty old." The man with glasses replied without hesitation, and by the way he explained confidently. Suddenly, Yu Hua showed a sad look. He shook his head and sighed, making the audience be puzzled. Even when the spectacled man had his eyes widened and doubted about life, he heard Yu Hua sigh and said: "Congratulations, you are right, but you can Can''t you stop grabbing my lines, I don''t want face?" Yu Hua looked at the spectacle man with a little bit of resentment, like an abandoned woman. While the spectacle man breathed a sigh of relief, he also scratched his head in embarrassment. The two people''s embarrassment immediately attracted the audience. Laughing, this sudden turn seems very interesting. "Just kidding, please don''t mind!" "Don''t mind or mind!" After everyone laughed, Yu Hua suddenly reduced his smile and said to the challenger: "Mr. Liu, you have answered 5 questions correctly, and the bonus has accumulated to 1,000 yuan. According to the rules, you can now leave with 1,000 yuan. You can stay and continue to challenge. What is your choice, please tell everyone aloud!" "Keep going!" There was a roar suddenly off the court. The middle-aged glasses are full of confidence, UU reading said without hesitation: "I choose to continue to challenge!" "Okay, next, the difficulty of the question will increase by one level, please pay attention, and the answer will begin!" Yu Hua''s expression was very serious, and immediately read the question after speaking: "..." The middle-aged glasses really deserve to be an educated person, and his level is pretty good. He easily answered questions from the sixth to the ninth question. The bonus was accumulated to 20,000 yuan. As long as he answered the tenth question correctly, he reached the second choice. Line, you can choose to take away 50,000 yuan bonus. Not only the audience in the audience and in front of the TV got excited, even the mood of the middle-aged in glasses fluctuated. "Question 10: Who are the three members of the "Three Yangs" in the Ming Dynasty?" "A: Yang Pu, Yang Jisheng, Yang Rong. B: Yang Tinghe, Yang Bo, Yang Jisheng. C: Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong. D: Yang Jisheng, Yang Tinghe, Yang Shiqi." This question obviously touched his blind spot of knowledge, and the middle-aged man in the glasses looked confused. Chapter 462: Climax "Mr. Liu, you have not used the life rights for three times. They are asking for help outside the venue, asking for help on the floor, and 50-50 to remove two wrong options. Do you use life rights?" Seeing the distressed face of the middle-aged in glasses, Yu Hua kindly reminded him. The middle-aged glasses took a deep breath and made up his mind: "I choose to call for help from friends outside the court!" "Okay! You have thirty seconds!" Yu Hua made a please gesture to the phone on the desktop. The middle-aged man in glasses dialed a number immediately, and the audience off the court suddenly held their breath, and seemed to be more nervous than the middle-aged man in glasses. After a few beeps, the phone went through, and the middle-aged glasses showed joy, and he immediately said into the microphone: "Lao Yang, let me ask you a question, who are the three members of the "Three Yangs" in the Ming Dynasty? Tell me immediately! One hundred thousand hot!" "It''s Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong!" The person on the other end of the phone apparently had some research on Ming history. Although it was a bit inexplicable, he answered without thinking. "Thank you!" The middle-aged man in the glasses looked happy, said thank you, and immediately hung up the phone, making Lao Yang on the other end of the phone confused. "I choose C!" After finishing the middle-aged glasses, he looked at Yu Hua nervously, and everyone on the court looked at Yu Hua expressionlessly. I am most afraid of the sudden silence... One second, two seconds, three seconds! Just when the heart was pounding in the middle-aged glasses, I saw Yu Hua suddenly waved his fist and said excitedly: "Congratulations, you got the right answer!" "Yay!" The middle-aged man in the glasses was taken aback first, then he patted his chest excitedly, obviously very excited. "Papa Papa..." There was also a burst of warm applause off the court, cheering for the middle-aged glasses. "Three Yangs refer to Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, and are the representative figures of the "Taige Style" poetry in the Ming Dynasty. They all went to the four dynasties of Shi Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande and Orthodox, and successively served as important ministers of Taige, and orthodox Shijia University The rank of scholar to assist the government, known as the''Three Yang''..." After the knowledge explanation, Yu Hua looked at the middle-aged in glasses solemnly, and said loudly: "Mr. Liu, you have answered ten questions correctly and entered the second selection line. Now you give up and you can leave us immediately with 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. Stage." "Next, if you answer the eleventh question and abstain, you can still get 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, but if you answer incorrectly, you will only get 1,000 Hong Kong dollars for the first security line!" "Of course, if you answer the next five questions correctly, then you will take away the one million cash prize above!" At the end, Yu Hua turned his head and pointed to the pile of banknotes on the most central table, which was exactly one million in cash. Originally, it could not be taken out or replaced with cardboard, but after discussion in the planning department, it still thought that it would be more visually impactful to release one million in cash. After all, they believe that there are not many people in Xiangjiang who have seen 1 million cash, especially the people at the bottom, unless they are mixed groups. Seeing the pile of one million in cash, the middle-aged glasses became short of breath. He saw the pile of money as soon as he came on stage, but he forced himself not to look at it, worried that his mental disorder would affect his thinking. But at this time, guided by Yu Huayi, he still couldn''t restrain his inner desire. Millions of cash is in front of him, which is several times his current wealth. If the next five questions are answered correctly, he will send it out! "Mr. Liu, do you continue to answer the question?" Yu Hua asked with sharp eyes. The audience off the court all held their breaths and concentrated, and seemed to be more nervous than the middle-aged in glasses, and some people continued to meditate in their hearts. The middle-aged glasses struggled to withdraw his eyes from the one million in cash, nodded heavily and said, "I choose to continue to challenge!" "Okay, next, the difficulty will rise a lot, Mr. Liu, please pay attention to the questions!" "Question Eleven..." ... "Question 13, the world famous song "Ode to Joy" is the chapter in Beethoven''s symphony?" "A: The fifth part. B: The fourth part. C: The eighth part. D: The ninth part." "Thirty seconds countdown begins!" After Yu Hua finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged glasses with burning eyes. The middle-aged man in the glasses looked a little anxious and frowned. Obviously he didn''t know this question. Expect a person who is running for a livelihood to have leisure and leisure to cultivate his sentiment? Not that mindful! "I choose to ask for help off the court!" Seeing that half of the time passed, the middle-aged glasses finally gave up the idea of ??answering questions by himself, said immediately. "Okay, time is suspended!" "Respect your choice!" Hearing the middle-aged glasses activate the second life authority, Yu Hua said while holding down the stopwatch, looking out of the field. "Friends at the scene, please raise your hands enthusiastically. Mr. Liu will choose who will tell him the answer!" As soon as Yu Hua''s voice fell, many people off the court raised their hands, but some people were obviously lacking in confidence and obviously didn''t know the exact answer, so they wanted to raise their hands. The middle-aged in glasses also had this worry. He was entangled in searching off the court, and finally saw a young man looking at him firmly, holding his hands straight, the middle-aged in glasses had some confidence in him. "I choose him!" The middle-aged man in glasses took a deep breath, pointed at the young man, and said to Yu Hua. "it is good!" "This gentleman, please tell Mr. Liu, what is your answer?" "Select D, Part Nine, "Ode to Joy" is the main part of the fourth movement of the Ninth Symphony!" The young man said loudly, appearing very confident. "Thank you for your answers, please sit down!" "Mr. Liu, I wonder if you choose to believe this gentleman?" Watching Yu Hua look at him, the middle-aged man in glasses nodded and said, "I believe, I choose D." Yu Hua fell silent, his eyes switched back and forth between the answer sheet and the middle-aged man in the glasses. Just when everyone could not help it, Yu Hua seemed to finally confirm the answer and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you got it right! The prize money has accumulated to two. One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!" "Yay!" The middle-aged in glasses couldn''t help but clenched his fists to cheer for himself, and at the same time projected a grateful look at the youth in the audience. "I want to interview the gentleman who provided the answer just now. You answered so firmly just now. Why do you know the answer to this question?" Yu Hua seized the opportunity and wanted the young man in the audience to ask questions. The young man took the microphone given to him by the staff nearby and showed an elegant smile, saying: "Because I have been practicing piano since childhood, "Ode to Joy" is just my enlightenment piano piece." "Oh?" Suddenly, there was a sudden sound around. "Mr. Liu, it seems that you are lucky enough to have chosen professionals among so many people." Yu Hua smiled and said to the middle-aged glasses. "Hey, thank him so much, thank you!" The middle-aged man in the glasses was also lucky, happy for his luck, and then bowed slightly to express his gratitude to the young man. "Okay, sit down, thank you for your answer." Seeing that the atmosphere eased a bit, and realizing that it was time to start the next round, Yu Hua decisively ended the chat and continued to answer questions. "Question Fourteen..." ... This question was answered correctly by the middle-aged glasses, and the bonus was accumulated to 250,000 Hong Kong dollars. Before entering the fifteenth question, Yu Hua looked at the middle-aged glasses seriously and confirmed: "Mr. Liu, you can choose to give up now. Immediately take away 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, but 1 million Hong Kong dollars will not be with you." "If you answer this question incorrectly, the bonus will be returned to the first line of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars." "But if you answer this last question correctly, you will become a legend and take away this million in cash! Realize your dream!" "Do you choose the confirmed two hundred and fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars, or the uncertain one million Hong Kong dollars, or 1,000 Hong Kong dollars?" Two hundred and fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars is a lot for middle-aged glasses, but he feels itchy to think of one million Hong Kong dollars within his reach. He still has the advantage, three life rights, and he has the last "50-50", which is the right to exclude two correct answers. The last question is undoubtedly extremely difficult. Even if he can''t answer it, he can choose one of the two, and there is a 50% chance of being correct. The devil in the middle-aged glasses is constantly expanding, tempting him to continue to challenge. "Continue! Continue! Continue..." As time passed, the atmosphere in the court became more and more tense, and there was a slight instigation from down the court, and the shouts grew louder when no one was stopped. Give it a try, a bike becomes a motorcycle! Bet! Looking at the audience below, the middle-aged brain in glasses was congested, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and said loudly: "I choose to continue!" "Okay, please concentrate, now let''s start the fifteenth question!" Yu Hua yelled, with an unprecedented solemn expression, opened the last envelope and took out the answer sheet. Seeing the question, he couldn''t help frowning, as if the difficulty of the question was beyond his expectation. Yu Hua''s performance made the middle-aged man in the glasses burst into his heart. He couldn''t help swallowing, his fists clenched, and his palms were full of sweat. "Please listen to question 15!" "How long can tardigrade survive at least?" "A: -150 degrees; B: -165 degrees; C: -180 degrees. D: -200 degrees." "Thirty seconds countdown begins!" After Yu Hua finished reading the question, he immediately pressed the stopwatch. This time, the middle-aged glasses spoke again without any hesitation. "I use the third last life authority!" This speed made Yu Hua a little astonished. He immediately recovered and said: "Okay, 50-50 life authority is activated, eliminate the two wrong options A and C." "B: -165 degrees left. D: -200 degrees, please choose!" After speaking, Yu Hua turned on the stopped stopwatch again. There was a fierce struggle in his head in the middle-aged glasses, his brain was congested and his face turned red. The audience in the audience was worried that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage. "The last five seconds!" Seeing that the middle-aged man made no choice in his glasses, Yu Hua looked at the stopwatch and reminded loudly. A middle-aged Ji Ling in glasses woke up from a fierce mental struggle, gritted his teeth, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "I choose D: -200 degrees." After speaking, he stared at Yu Hua steadily, his eyes filled with anxiety and expectation. 8) Chapter 463: Storm hit At the critical moment, Yu Hua played the most annoying routine again. He was expressionless and made people unable to see what he was thinking. He delayed in releasing the answer, so that the middle-aged glasses could not wait to grab his answer sheet. Several people wanted to come up and beat him up. After a long time, realizing that the heat was almost over, Yu Hua took a deep look at the middle-aged man in his glasses, then looked at the answer sheet again, shook his head slightly and sighed: "It''s a pity that the correct answer is b: -165 degrees, your answer is wrong!" "Uh...no!" Before Yu Hua had finished speaking, the middle-aged glasses couldn''t stand it anymore. He held his head and wailed. Everyone present could feel the feeling of despair and regret. "Hey...it''s a pity..." There was also a sigh off the court, and many people patted their thighs, feeling sorry for the middle-aged glasses. When the mood of the middle-aged glasses calmed down, Yu Hua continued: "The tardigrade is a kind of small animal in the tartaridae..." Everyone listened carefully to Yu Hua''s explanation this time. The middle-aged man in glasses wanted to know where he lost and why the answer was -165 degrees. After listening to Yu Hua''s popular science, everyone present was in a daze. The middle-aged man in glasses shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although he still felt regret in his heart, he was convinced of the loss. This topic was too difficult. Moreover, he has such a big advantage, and he is wrong to choose one of the two. It can only be said that this is fate, he does not have the fate of getting rich overnight! Or did he not wash his hands after going to the toilet just now? Middle-aged glasses fell into self-doubt. "Mr. Liu, it is a pity that you missed a million Hong Kong dollars, but you can get a 1,000 Hong Kong dollars bonus!" After Yu Hua finished speaking, a young lady in a cheongsam dressed in **** and seductive dress brought up a red plate with ten sheets of 100 yuan in cash on it, and brought it to the middle-aged man in glasses. "Thank you!" The middle-aged man in the glasses squeezed a smile, said thank you, and picked up the one thousand dollars, but he couldn''t be happy about it, but he felt like crying. One thousand Hong Kong dollars is a lot for him, and his salary is only more than two thousand a month. If it were normal, he would get a thousand dollars, he would definitely be able to drink three glasses of wine happily, and then show off the head of the family in front of the tigress in the family. But on this occasion, he couldn''t be happy! There used to be two hundred and fifty thousand in front of him. If he is not greedy for one million, he can go home with two hundred and fifty thousand. Even he is only one step away from one million, helpless... hey... "Mr. Liu, life is always beautiful. You are strong. You can almost take away our one million Hong Kong dollars the first time you participate. After returning, you will continue to study hard. Knowledge is always useful. Looking forward to your next challenge! " "I will definitely come again next time!" Yu Hua''s encouragement aroused the fighting spirit of the middle-aged in glasses who refused to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and said, then waved goodbye to the stage. "Well, although this player''s experience makes us feel sorry for him, but this is the cruelty of the game is life, everyone is responsible for his choice..." Barabara had a lot of emotion and reasoning, and the audience who had an intuitive experience nodded. "Next, we have our second challenger..." ... At the time the show was broadcast, many of the thousands of households in Xiangjiang took photos of the thighs of the middle-aged glasses. "It can only be said that this question is too difficult, and I can answer 14 questions correctly..." "Bah, why didn''t I know you are so shameless, you are like me, you haven''t graduated from elementary school, and you have answered 14 questions correctly. What about your face?" "He took one thousand Hong Kong dollars and left, and the one million cash was on the table. I don''t know who will take it away..." "It''s a pity that I chose the wrong one. I missed one million. He will definitely kneel on the washboard when he returns..." At this time, countless people were miserable. They were sitting at home on their knees and watching TV on the washboard. From time to time, they were twisted by the tigress next to him, and he let out a wailing like a pig... ... Just as the thousands of viewers waiting in front of the TV sighed, their minds were completely attracted by the wonderful, suspenseful, and constant programs. There were five or six challengers in a row, the highest challenged to the thirteenth question, and the lowest fell to the eighth question. Almost all of them chose to move forward and charge towards one million. It''s a pity that they only took one thousand Hong Kong dollars and left. When the audience in front of the TV wondered if the stock **** did not want to send money, the eighth challenger came on stage. Everyone was refreshed, because the eighth challenger turned out to be a little fat man with glasses. The host Yu Huayi introduced that everyone knows that he is only 14 years old, but he has one hobby, that is, he likes to read books to the point Myopia of more than 500 degrees at a young age. But Yu Hua also introduced that this little fat man is a child prodigy who is well-known in his village, and it even touched the audience inexplicably. Every fat man has an unknown side. Then the performance of this little fat man stunned everyone, and he deserves his nickname as a child prodigy. All the way through, he finally reached the fifteenth question just like the first middle-aged man in glasses, and it happened that there was a "50-50" life authority left. The opening scene happened again, but the result was very different. This little fat man has chosen one of the two right! When Yu Hua announced that the little fat man could take one million away, the audience was boiling, and the audience in front of the TV was also dumbfounded, and then issued various exclamations. This night, the whole Xiangjiang didn''t know how many ghosts and wolves howled, making people who don''t know why their neighbors were a lot crazy. The little fat man¡¯s parents came to the stage and chose to change the cash to a bank card, and finally took away the bank card of Jiuding Bank that had been exchanged for a long time and had deposited 1 million. One million people were really carried away, and the audience in front of the TV was completely crazy. Many people called people to watch TV. Many people heard the phone calls from relatives and friends and changed channels without saying anything. At this time, the time was exactly around 9:00, which was the beginning of the TVB "Happy Tonight". Huang Xizhao, who has been monitoring the backstage of Global TV Station, was so excited that he couldn''t sit still when he saw the rising ratings. The ratings have been rising from 157 at 9 o''clock to 255. After the little fat man took away one million, less than a minute later, the ratings began to skyrocket, rushing to zero, reaching 67. It can be seen how much the impact of one million Hong Kong dollars is and how much the people at the bottom pay "Haha, it succeeded, the boss really has a brilliant plan, "Millionaire" is completed, haha, our TV station also has an ace show!" "At 9:05, it has a rating of 67, which is about to catch up with the highest ratings of the previous TV station "Happy Tonight", but at this time tonight, the ratings of "Happy Tonight" will definitely not exceed 20." After talking about this, Huang Xizhao''s mind was rippling, and her smile couldn''t hide. The first episode is at this level, and this episode is full of hot spots. The middle-aged glasses lost a million, and the prodigy Little Fatty became the smallest millionaire among the poor, and he earned himself with knowledge. All of these are hot spots, and the contents of the Xiangjiang people like gossip. So Huang Xizhao can imagine that when the news of tomorrow comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation in Hong Kong. Everyone will be crazy for this million, and the influence will continue to ferment. "It seems that adjustments must be made immediately. It is a waste of resources to broadcast once every Friday. This kind of trump card program must be fully utilized. I must quickly ask the boss for instructions. It will be released every Monday, March, and May, to completely occupy this area. The market has no way of wireless plagiarism." "Why don''t you fight with us while watching wireless?" "With Shao Lao Liu''s stingy character, even if he wants to copy, he can''t surpass us!" Thinking of this, Huang Xizhao''s fighting spirit was high in her heart, and she felt comfortable. There are two flowers and one branch each. But the TVB side. "Millionaire" was fully promoted by Universal Television and other companies, and it was also put on Friday from 9 to 10 pm, which made it clear that I wanted to attack "Happy Tonight". In this case, how can the top management of TVB not be vigilant? As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle. For this reason, Shao Yifu dropped an appointment tonight, stayed at home and turned on the TV, watching the Hong Kong station of Universal Television Station. Needless to say, Shao Yifu''s tasting ability naturally, when the "Millionaire" program was broadcast, his eyes became a little serious. When he felt that his emotions and attention were following the show unconsciously, the dignity in Shao Yifu''s eyes was about to overflow. He realized that the show "Millionaire" is a big enemy, and it is indeed a show that has been highly expected by Universal Television, and it is indeed qualified to be the trump card. The programs of Universal Television these years are not comparable to this program. The more I look back, Shao Yifu''s mood gets heavier. To him, the continuous pee spots in "Millionaire" looked extremely dazzling. When he saw that the little fat man succeeded in the challenge and really took away one million Hong Kong dollars, Shao Yifu was shocked and leaned back on the sofa, as if his body was hollowed out. "Major enemy! A major event is about to happen!" "No You must know how the ratings are!" Thinking of this, Shao Yifu looked at the time and found that it was half past nine. He even picked up the phone, called the TV station, and ordered his subordinates to immediately tell him the ratings of "Happy Tonight". After waiting for a long time, the call came back, and Xia Yu''s voice was in disbelief. "President, something really happened. The ratings of "Happy Tonight" turned out to be only 157, and there is a downward trend!" Booming... The report of the subordinates resounded like a thunder in Shao Yifu''s mind. But Shao Yifu is worthy of being a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and told his subordinates: "Immediately notify all planning and production producers, and show me the "Millionaire" on Global TV. Go to the company for a meeting!" After hanging up the phone, Shao Yifu stood up, picked up the suit hanging at the door, put it on, and walked toward the door. Chapter 464: 2 female meet One night, Shao Yifu and TVB''s middle and high-level officials discussed what they had discussed. Outsiders were not clear about it, but it was nothing more than the content. The galaxy reverses, the sun rises in the east, and the soft sun shines on the earth. Early on Saturday morning, with the distribution of major newspapers, news about Universal Television''s "Millionaire" program rushed to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Island was shaken. "Xiangjiang was born the youngest millionaire, only 14 years old! ¡· "Knowledge Can Create Wealth? Congratulations, you got it! ¡· "The gap between you and the millionaire is only 15 questions! ¡· "The rise of a child prodigy! Is it the next stock god? ¡· ... The major newspapers are fine. Although the headlines are equally eye-catching, they are not too exaggerated. But those third-rate tabloids, knowing that the path of dignified propaganda has no special features, they simply go slanting forward, and the title names are the kind of reverie, extremely newcomer headlines. Today¡¯s news touched on many sensitive topics, which greatly stimulated readers¡¯ desire to buy. The sales of newspapers were rising steadily, and the bosses of the major newsstands were too happy to close their mouths. In addition to these articles, there are many other news related to "Millionaire". The premiere of "Millionaire" reached the top, and "Happy Tonight" became a stepping stone! "The highest ratings for the first broadcast is 67, the rise of the gods! ¡· "The two tigers of the TV station are fighting, and the world is coming! ¡· "A little bit of gold! Almighty stock god! ¡· ... As soon as this kind of news was reported, industry practitioners and related industry people were shocked, and they all realized that Universal Television is coming and the big trouble for TVB is coming! First, "Dragon Ball" slammed invincible at the same time, and I heard that three other animations with the same impact are also being produced. However, the animation hasn''t come out yet, and now there is another "Millionaire" program, which directly impacts the TV station''s ace program "Happy Tonight", and it has succeeded, pressing "Happy Tonight" on the ground. I also heard that Universal Television is now making a series of records with a lot of money. The most influential "Qin Qin", wireless can''t stand it! Thinking about it this way, many people can''t help but tremble, realizing that after Universal Television has changed its boss, the shotgun has changed, and the stock **** is going to kill all quarters in the TV field. In addition to these, there are some people who react the most. That''s the major advertisers. After receiving the invitation from Universal Television to attract investment for "Millionaire", they waved banknotes and rushed towards Universal Television. Everything is developing in a better direction. ... After approving Huang Xizhao''s application for the "Millionaire" program to be broadcast on Thursday, Xia Yu looked at his watch and said to Li Qian, who was looking at him with a chin on his side, and said, "Cici!" "Xia Yu, are you okay?" Li Qian returned to her senses and said softly when she saw Xia Yu''s gentle gaze, her heart felt sweet. "Well, let''s go, it''s almost time!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, she stood up, and Li Qian also got up to arrange his clothes. "Have you got your stuff?" Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s pretty face and asked softly. Li Qian lightly tapped her head, with a hesitant expression on her face, and said entangledly: "Xia Yu, will it look too shabby to give this gift to Sister Chao Qiong?" Seeing Li Qian''s embarrassment, Xia Yu was happy, and while feeling comfortable, he did not forget to comfort her: "Your gift is carefully prepared by you. How can it be shabby? There is a piece of your heart in it, and the weight is heavy! " "Well, stop thinking about it, let''s go!" "Hmm!" With Xia Yu''s affirmation again, Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly again. Soon, Xia Yu brought Li Qian to the pier. After waiting for less than two minutes, he saw a cruise ship docked and He Chaoqiong came down with a few bodyguards. Xia Yu and Li Qian are very handsome and beautiful, and there are a few bodyguards beside them. Of course ordinary people walk away subconsciously, so they are very prominent. He Chaoqiong saw it at a glance and hurried off from the cruise ship. , Carrying a pink dress, ran towards him happily. "Chao Qiong, good morning!" "Yes!" "Xia Yu, sister, thank you for coming to pick me up!" He Chaoqiong was very happy. He first called Xia Yu affectionately, and then looked at Li Qian in a white dress. There was also a glimmer of surprise in his eyes, and then sweetly called to Li Qian, who was looking at her with a smile. . Suddenly, Li Qian sighed in relief, her face blooming, and said softly: "Hello sister, I am Li Qian, I am glad to meet you!" "Sister, I am He Chaoqiong, and I am also glad to meet you!" Seeing this harmonious scene, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile, as if seeing a good day in the future. At this time, several of He Chaoqiong''s bodyguards also came around silently. Seeing Xia Yu looking at them, all of them bowed respectfully, obviously knowing Xia Yu''s identity as a bigwig. He Chaoqiong looked at Xia Yu, turned around and said to some of his bodyguards: "Go back, I''m safe here." "Miss, the master told us..." One of the leading bodyguards was embarrassed, and was interrupted by Xia Yu''s majestic words just halfway through. "Well, I will be responsible for Chao Qiong''s safety. If you ask about you, you can answer truthfully. If you can''t blame you, just say what I said!" Hearing this, although the lead bodyguard was helpless, he also knew that Xia Yu was a big man with amazing energy, so he could only nod his head respectfully and said: "Okay, Xia Sheng, then our lady will ask you!" After speaking, a few bodyguards left here. Seeing the bodyguard walking away, He Chaoqiong was very happy and asked Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, where are we going to play?" "It''s late, or let''s find a place for lunch first, and then go shopping in the afternoon!" Xia Yu looked at his watch and said to the two women. "Hmm!" "Listen to you!" Li Qian and He Chaoqiong nodded quickly. After that, the three of them got into the car, and Xia Yu deliberately took the co-pilot and put the two women in the back row. The other bodyguards drove two more cars. Soon, the three cars started and drove towards the Central Ring Road on Hong Kong Island. At the beginning, He Chaoqiong and Li Qian didn''t know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Looking through the rearview mirror, Xia Yu saw that both of them wanted to speak, but they seemed to have any scruples. He knew it after pondering. It seems that he is going to push. "Chao Qiong, Cici, haven''t you two prepared gifts, Cici, you are a sister, don''t be embarrassed." Xia Yu chuckled and encouraged. Xia Yu''s words seemed to give Li Qian a lot of motivation. She hummed, then carefully took out a string of very delicate bracelets from her bag, held them in front of He Chaoqiong, and said softly, "Sister, this string of bracelets. I chose the beads and went to the temple to pray for blessings and gave them to you. I hope they can bless you and become more and more beautiful!" "Thank you sister!" He Chaoqiong said happily, then took the bracelet and carefully put it on his wrist, and then turned it around. He smiled and thanked: "Sister, the bracelet is very beautiful, I like it! Thank you for your blessing!" "You like it!" Li Qian said softly. "Sister I have a gift for you too!" He Chaoqiong said, took out an exquisite sachet, and introduced it in Li Qian''s curious gaze: "This is a sachet made by myself. It contains jasmine flowers. I will give it to you. I hope you will like it." "Thank you sister, it smells so good, I like the smell very much." Li Qian took the sachet happily, and put it in front of her to smell it, showing an expression of enjoyment. She likes jasmine very much, and naturally also knows the meaning of jasmine. Jasmine is also called the flower of friendship. He Chaoqiong gave her a jasmine sachet, which undoubtedly showed her friendly attitude, which relieved the inferiority Li Qian. Xia Yu, who saw all this through the rearview mirror, showed a relieved smile. Both of them listened to his opinion. Although the actual value of the gifts they prepared was very low, they contained their own hearts. This was a good start. After sending gifts to each other, the relationship between the two seemed to sublimate all at once, and they murmured softly behind them, and chuckled out from time to time, and the atmosphere in the car became cheerful. Chapter 465: "Drunken Master" and Wu Siyuan Xia Yu found a high-end restaurant with an elegant environment and ate lunch with Li Qian and He Chaoqiong. During the dinner, Xia Yu deliberately served the two girls with dishes, and treated them equally, regardless of whether it was He Chaoqiong or Li Qian, the two women felt it and were very happy. No matter what else, at least Xia Yu''s attitude made both women feel at ease. Li Qian was ashamed of He Chaoqiong in her heart, and she felt inferior because of her background. Although He Chaoqiong''s family is top-notch, she is late but she is too late. Li Qian is one step late today, and she doesn''t know how deep Xia Yu''s affection for Li Qian is, so she is also cautious, for fear that Xia Yu doesn''t like her. Both women have concerns, so after receiving Xia Yu''s undiscriminatory attitude, they both breathed a sigh of relief. It can only be said that in love, the one who actively loves will eventually be disadvantaged and humble in love. After a delicious meal and rest for a while, Xia Yu took the two women to go shopping. One of the two women is wearing a pink dress, pure and lively; the other is wearing a white dress, gentle and watery. Two women accompany Xia Yu, one on the left and the other on the right. They are naturally very eye-catching when they go outside. Fortunately, Xia Yu deliberately dressed up, making it difficult to be recognized. The bodyguards were also scattered around, secretly protecting Xia. Yu et al. Just coming out of a shopping mall and putting the goods in the car, He Chaoqiong blinked his eyes and asked, "Xia Yu, where are we going now?" Li Qian also looked at him quietly with a smile, waiting for his opinion. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a newspaper was blown in front of Xia Yu. Xia Yu picked it up and wanted to throw it away, but he saw a piece of news on it, and his movements were suddenly stunned. "Should we go to the movies?" Xia Yu smiled and said to the two women. "Yes!" "Listen to you!" The two women nodded immediately. "Taiping Theater happens to be nearby, let''s go there!" Xia Yu said, throwing the newspaper into the trash can, and then took the two women into the car and went to the Taiping Theater not far away. Taiping Theater, located on the west of Des Voeux Road, Shek Tong Tsui, west of Hong Kong Island, is the earliest theater in Hong Kong in the 19th century. The theater is a three-story long row building. The entire theater can accommodate 1,000 people, divided into front, middle and back seats. Two-story super and private rooms. In the 1950s, the boxes were cancelled and Taiping Theater was rebuilt, with more than 2,000 seats. Among the five leading theaters in Hong Kong, Taiping Theater even sits at the top not only because of its size, but also because of its location. It''s a pity that the upper and middle level of Taiping Theater ceased to be used more than ten years ago, and the business was not as good as before, but despite this, it is still sought after by major film companies. Soon, the car came to the door of Taiping Theater. After the car was parked, a bodyguard received an order to buy a ticket, while Xia Yu and others walked along the corridor to the ticket gate. There are several movies currently in the release period. Xia Yu asked his bodyguards to buy "Drunken Master" because this movie was only released the day before yesterday, and now it has become a hot trend. What Xia Yu didn''t know was that this "Drunken Fist" finally became the second highest grossing movie of the year, second only to the Xu brothers'' "Deed to Sell Your Body". In addition, there is another reason for choosing this movie, that is, Xia Yu only knows about this movie, other movies are all street goods, and they are definitely not good-looking. This movie starring Chen Long is still a bit interesting. Although from the perspective of Xia Yu''s film baptism, "Drunken Fist" will not look too good, but if you look at it with a nostalgic mentality, it is not a bad idea! Entering the theater, just as the movie was about to be released, Xia Yu took the two women to find a good place and sit down. Because there were no boxes, the bodyguards bought consecutive tickets, Xia Yu sat in the middle, He Chaoqiong and Li Qian sat on each side. In addition, the tickets next to the two women were also bought, just to prevent them from being bought by other people, and the bodyguards were seated around them. Soon, as the logo of''Siyuan Films Produced'' emerged, the plot began. The two women were unknowingly attracted by the plot of the movie. When they saw Chen Long''s funny actions, they couldn''t help covering their mouths and laughing. When the mind is immersed in a movie, time always flies quickly, unconsciously, the movie is over. "Xia Yu, this movie is so interesting, giggle..." He Chaoqiong commented on Xia Yu, saying that he seemed to think of the scene of the protagonist embarrassed again, and couldn''t help but laugh. "Hmm!" Li Qian, who was held by Xia Yu, also nodded in agreement with He Chaoqiong. "If you like to watch, I will show you some good movies in the future!" Xia Yu put his hands around the waists of the two women, and embraced them one by one, and said softly. "Ok!" The two women answered happily. The crowd was too rushed just now, worried about the danger of uncertainty, Xia Yu did not go so fast, now the audience is gone, and soon the theater looks empty, seeing that the exit is no longer congested, Xia Yu plans to leave with the two women . A person in the front row of Xia Yu, seeing Xia Yu leaving, also got up and left. It''s just that Xia Yu''s bodyguard is not a vegetarian. When he noticed that his behavior was a little abnormal, Li Wuming said coldly, "Stop!" Li Wuming''s voice brought Xia Yu back to his senses and followed his gaze to look at the man. I saw a gentle middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. At this moment, he was a little embarrassed. He even raised his hands to express harmlessness. This gesture made He Chaoqiong and Li Qian couldn''t help smiling. "who are you?" Xia Yu looked at him like a knife and asked in a deep voice. "Xia Sheng, I''m sorry, I just want to say hello to you. My name is Wu Siyuan, the owner of Siyuan Pictures. "Drunken Master" is produced by my company. This is my business card." Wu Siyuan said quickly, and then quickly raised a business card in both hands to his chest. Li Wuming took it, touched it and felt safe, so he handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu looked at Wu Siyuan, who had a humble smile on his face, and looked at it with his business card. As expected, it read the position of the general manager of Siyuan Films Co., Ltd., his name Wu Siyuan, and the company''s phone number. Xia Yu smiled in her heart, let go of the two women, and walked towards Wu Siyuan. Xia Yu''s actions made Wu Siyuan feel excited. In his expectation, Xia Yu stretched out his hand, and he quickly stretched out his hand to shake Xia Yu. "Wu Sheng, hello!" "Xia Sheng, hello, hello!" Wu Siyuan said hello excitedly. I can''t help but he is not excited. Although it has been 7 years since he founded Siyuan Pictures, his company is still a small company. To shoot a movie, the box office is more than one million, and the better ones are several million, and there are not a few losing money. In addition, the output is very low, with only a few movies a year. If they are successfully released, the company''s annual revenue will be several million, excluding costs and theater share. A few million in revenue may be a lot for ordinary people, but it is not enough to put it in front of Xia Yu. Moreover, Xia Yu is still the media king of Xiangjiang. He is a filmmaker, and he must look up to Xia Yu''s breath. Now that he has a chance to meet Xia Yu, how can he not be excited? What makes him more excited is still to come. As soon as he released his hand, Xia Yu took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him in his surprised gaze: "Wu Sheng, this is my business card, we have a chance to have a good chat~www. novelhall.com~Okay, I''m always waiting for your call!" Wu Siyuan took the business card with both hands and nodded repeatedly. Xia Yu smiled and put Wu Siyuan''s business card in his pocket, and nodded at him with a smile: "I have something to do, so let''s go!" "You go slowly!" Seeing Xia Yu and others going away, Wu Siyuan looked at the business card in his hand again, and the smile on his face couldn''t hide. Even if I saw "Drunken Master" in the past two days, I am not happy now. "Drunken Master" was on fire. It only cost 5 or 6 million at the box office, and only 3 million was allocated. After deducting the cost and remuneration, it would be worth more than one million. But if you can catch the line of the **** of stock, more than one million is a fart! When he was happy, Wu Siyuan also looked forward to what Xia Yu said "a chance to have a good chat." Although he had Xia Yu''s business card, Xia Yu didn''t take the initiative to contact him, so he didn''t dare to call. Chapter 466: Start the acquisition again (2 Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to Jiuding Building and told one of his assistants: "Give you a task to collect information on the Xiangjiang Film Market and the theater market. In addition, I want Fang Siyuan, the producer of "Drunken Boxing". Collect all the information of the film industry and give it to me immediately!" "Yes!" The assistant replied respectfully, then exited the office and closed the door as he left. Upon seeing this, Li Qian blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Xia Yu, do you want to enter the movie market?" "Have this idea." Xia Yu said frankly. Li Qian pursed her mouth and tapped her head, then frowned slightly, and asked in a puzzled manner: "But the movie shouldn''t make money, I remember last year, the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong only sold 7 million, which is a bit worse. There are only five million and three million. Can''t you make any money?" If he hadn''t met Xia Yu, Li Qian would think it was millions. But after staying with Xia Yu for a long time, all the people he came into contact with were in units of 100 million, and they were even numb. Naturally, they didn''t feel much about the number of million. Another, this is what she said in her heart, Xia Yu is especially good at making money, and the speed of making money in the film industry seems too slow! Slow earning is a loss for Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled, caressed Li Qian''s slightly frowned brow, and gently explained: "At present, it seems that the film industry market in Xiangjiang is indeed not big. Even Shao Laoliu, the leader of the film industry, has the mind to withdraw." "Then why do you still want to go in?" Li Qian blinked her eyes and asked in doubt, letting Xia Yu''s troublesome hand be left alone. "There is so much to consider." Xia Yu sighed with emotion, and then spoke. "The film industry is the puzzle of the cultural and entertainment industry. My goal is to build a major cultural and entertainment business. I already have newspapers, magazines and television stations in the media, so I need to develop other industries in the entire industry chain, such as music, movies, and animation. " "The more complete the industrial chain, the higher the utilization rate of resources, the faster the speed of making money, and the stronger the comprehensive competitiveness and anti-risk ability." "Even for my other companies to develop better, the film industry has to enter." "Then there is the prospect of movies. Although the movie market in Xiangjiang is not big now, there will be good development in the future. With the improvement of people''s living standards, there will be a bigger market for spiritual entertainment. Ten years from now, entertainment will definitely explode, and it will last forever." "Just like now, although the film market in Xiangjiang is not big, you look at the world film market, it''s still very big." "If I want to enter the world film market, I must first have a basic plan, raise my own company, and then have the strength to compete with those movie giants in the world, right? Starting from the high-rise buildings, I start with the Xiangjiang film market. " Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, seeing Li Qian''s suddenly realized expression, he stroked her pretty face, and again added: "There is one more important point. The film industry has a special attribute, that is, cultural transmission. Attribution, the Americans use Hollywood to carry out cultural aggression against the world. This is silent, but very terrifying. The impact is very far-reaching and involves a lot!" "But I won''t tell you these things. They are very complicated. If you understand later, you will naturally understand." Xia Yu said to Li Qian with a light smile. "Hmm! Although I don''t understand, as long as you do it, I will support you!" Li Qian smiled sweetly and said firmly. Xia Yu smiled, and couldn''t help lowering her head, Li Qian subconsciously closed her eyes... ... With the order of the boss Xia Yu, the assistant can ask other companies to assist, especially with the assistance of Jiuding Newspaper. The speed of collecting information is simply not too fast. In just two days, the information about the Xiangjiang Film Industry and Siyuan Films Co., Ltd. was sorted into a book and placed neatly in front of Xia Yu. Xia Yu made tea and looked at it leisurely. Rustle... With the sliding of his fingers, the miscellaneous knowledge was recorded in his mind, and Xia Yu had an increasingly intuitive impression and judgment for the Xiangjiang film industry. Xiangjiang''s movie market was a bit beyond his expectations, not as small as he thought. In 1977, the total box office of the Hong Kong Film Market was close to 200 million Hong Kong dollars! but! Among them, the box office of Hong Kong-produced movies only accounted for about 70 million, which is a market of about 5! Nearly 65 of the market is occupied by non-Hong Kong movies from outside. Among them, there are American films, British films, island films, and more Taiwanese films. For example, in 1977, the total box office of the Hong Kong Film Market, the No. 1 is from Taiwan Province "The Legend of the Jianqiao Hero", the total box office of Hong Kong reached 11.59 million Hong Kong dollars, and the release time was only 1 day! The second place is also from Taiwan Province. It is called "Southern Fist and Northern Faction". The total box office of Xiangjiang is 8.24 million Hong Kong dollars, but the release time has reached 7 days! The fourth place is also from Taiwan Province, called "Iron King Kong Breaks Through the Underwater City", with a total box office of 5.27 million Hong Kong dollars! Hong Kong¡¯s local films accounted for the third and fifth places among the top five. They are the third "Pretty Detective Girl" with a total box office of 7.7 million Hong Kong dollars, and the fifth "Faqianhan" with a total box office of 5.05 million Hong Kong dollars. This year, three-quarters of the time has passed, and the film market has shrunk considerably compared to 1977. So far, the highest box office is the Xu brothers'' "Deed of Deed", with a total box office of 7.82 million Hong Kong dollars. The second place fell to a box office of 4.12 million, which was filmed and released by Taiwan Province. But the third and fourth places are respectively 4.01 million and 960,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office, both of which are produced in Taiwan. It can be seen that at this time, Hong Kong Movies is indeed in a bad situation, and the golden age of Hong Kong Movies is still coming. According to estimates, the total box office of the Hong Kong film market this year has reached 1.5 billion, which is a huge scent, compared with last year, it has shrunk by 25! It is no wonder that Shao Laoliu, whose family has been in the film industry since the 1920s, wants to withdraw from the film production market and only operate theater chains. If Xia Yu didn''t know the situation of future generations and saw this kind of data, he might be dissuaded from it. But Xia Yu knows the situation in the future generations, this kind of time is a good time, and it is good for him to enter! The box office of a single movie is not high, and if you can''t make any money, then make money from the theater! Regardless of whether you fail to make a movie or not, opening a theater line is basically a steady profit without losing it! Cinemas now implement a minimum guarantee fee system, which is completely biased towards cinemas. This system has been implemented for decades. For example, if the producer shoots a movie, if it contracts a theater line, if the guaranteed cost is two million a week, if the box office reaches two million a week, then the two million are all from the theater line. Yes, after paying the guarantee fee, the producer can''t get a cent. If the box office exceeds two million in a week, the excess part belongs to the film distribution company, and the distribution company deducts a part of it, which belongs to the film producer. If the box office is less than two million a week? I''m so embarrassed that the producer can''t get a penny of the box office share. Not only that, the missing amount must be made up, otherwise you don''t want to take the film copy. It is precisely because of this system that the theater party has a great say, and the producers generally have a low voice. Not only that, after many films were shot, the producers did not have confidence in the film, so they would rather the film rot in the warehouse than to be shown in the movie theater, because there is a high probability that the film will lose even worse, not only the film. Production costs, but also to indemnify the theater insurance costs. Of course, because of this situation, the business of theaters is relatively cold, and sometimes some theaters have no business. Although cinema companies are basically making steady profits without losing money, they will not make much. Even some very remote independent theaters may even lose money because there is no passenger flow and no movie distributors come to them. "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Xia Yu squinted his eyes, his **** tapped the table rhythmically and made a sound. "It seems that we still have to start from the theater chain, first seize the right to speak, otherwise if you venture into the film industry, you are likely to be jointly boycotted. Shao Laoliu will definitely do this. Jiahe probably will be afraid of me coming in. Capital disrupts the situation and will boycott me." "Yes, just start with the theater line. With the theater line, everything is easy to say!" The three basic elements of the film industry: manufacturing, distribution, and theaters. Although theaters are at the bottom of the film industry, they are the most important link in the film industry. The weight and the right to speak are many times heavier than production and distribution. The theater chain is an asset-intensive operation, and the threshold is very high. If you want to make a scale, the investment is even greater, and not everyone can afford it. But for Xia Yu, who knows the real estate market in Hong Kong, entering the cinema market is also a good investment, in addition to increasing the right to speak. Buying the current movie theaters and theaters, and buying the land together, in the long run, will definitely make a profit without losing money, and can also be a strong boost to your own film career. As for the film production company, it is enough to buy or invest in a company, how simple it is! For example, this Siyuan Films is not bad! Siyuan Pictures was founded by Wu Siyuan 197 years ago. After five years, it has also made eight movies. The box office is high and low, but overall it is still profitable. Excluding the company''s working capital, based on current estimates based on volume and influence, the value of Siyuan Films is about 5 to 6 million. However, if "Drunken Master" becomes popular and sells well, the value of Siyuan Pictures will rise a lot. There are two directors in Siyuan Pictures, namely Wu Siyuan himself and his teacher Yuan Heping. In addition to their two most important core talents, the company has accumulated a group of talents after five years of operation, film production The entire line needs talents. Maybe not everything is fine, but it is complete! After reading this information, Xia Yu had plans to acquire. With Wu Siyuan, the chairman of the posterity of the Golden Image Award, and Yuan Heping, the eighth master of Xiangjiang''s first action director and director, Siyuan Pictures has the value of being acquired by him. At that time, it depends on whether Wu Siyuan is willing to sell. In this regard, Xia Yu still has certain confidence in Wu Siyuan''s impression. The film company has a goal, and then it should think about how to build a theater line. Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked through the information again and looked at the market situation of Xiangjiang''s cinema chain seriously. The number of Xiangjiang cinemas today has been drastically reduced after a brutal elimination, from more than 180 at its peak in 1969 to 80 in 1978. Among them, there are five famous theaters, the number of cinemas adds up to 55, and the remaining 25 are independent cinemas. The five theaters, from large to small, are: Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, Shuangnan, Lisheng and Anle. The Shaw Cinemas belongs to the Shao family. It has a total of 16 theaters in Hong Kong. The number of screens in Hong Kong is the first, but it almost only shows movies produced by its own Shaw Pictures. The Hong Kong Shaw Cinemas is part of the entire Shaw Cinemas. The entire Shaw Cinemas covers the entire Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The Shao family has worked hard for decades and has more than 10 movie theaters, plus agents, and a distribution network covering 200 Multiple cinemas, properly the leading overlord of Southeast Asian cinemas. The second largest cinema chain in Hong Kong is Jiahe Cinemas, with 19 cinemas. Although there are more cinemas than Shaw Cinemas, many of them are small cinemas, with fewer screens and fewer seats than Shaw Cinemas. The property right of Jiahe Cinemas does not only belong to Jiahe Films, because among the 19 cinemas, 11 are affiliated. The entire Jiahe Cinemas generally only plays movies produced by Jiahe Films. The third largest is the Shuangnan Theater, which is a leftist theater with a mainland background. It consists of 11 theaters. Generally, it only shows mainland and Xiangjiang Leftist movies. The review of films is very strict. It is difficult for commercial entertainment movies to be on the Shuangnan Theater. Released. Another point is that movies that are screened on the Shuangnan Theater cannot enter the Taiwanese market, and will be blacklisted by the Taiwan authorities, even affecting companies, directors, and actors. The fourth largest is the Lisheng Cinemas, which has only 4 cinemas, but because of these 4 cinemas, in addition to the leading Lisheng Cinemas, the other three are also large and medium-sized cinemas, so the number of screens and seats ranked fourth. In addition, the materials also specifically indicate that the owner of the Lisheng Cinema Line is the Kowloon Lei Family, the controllers of Kowloon Jianye and Kowloon Bus, and the owner of Lisheng Cinema Line, Lei Juekun, seems to intend to enter the movie market, but It''s just some wind, and nothing has happened yet. The fifth largest theater line is Anle Cinemas, a Western film theater line that specializes in showing European and American movies. There are 5 theaters in total. The owner is Jiang Zhiqiang and the owner of Anle Films. However, Anle Film Company generally does not make films specializes in the distribution network, so Jiang Xieqiang has established a good relationship in the European and American film industry. The remaining 25 independent movie theaters are of different sizes, from Taiping Theater, which has a leading theater, to more than 200 small theaters. The locations vary from good to bad. After reading it, Xia Yu fixed his gaze on the Anle Theater Line. Judging from the data, this cinema chain is the easiest to be acquired. The boss Jiang Zhiqiang and Xia Yu have also heard of fame in his previous life. Li Hung''s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Guo Shi''s "Hero" are all he It was launched as "Heroes of Asian Movies" by Time Magazine. If the Anle Cinemas line is subordinated to Jiang Zhiqiang''s network, Xia Yu''s large capital investment will soon be effective. Taking the Anle Cinema Line as the foundation and acquiring some large and medium-sized independent cinemas, it will soon be able to compete with the Shaw Cinemas and Jiahe Cinemas. He also has the strong distribution network of Anle Film Company and Jiang Zhiqiang''s network, which is also very good for his international strategy. Don''t think about it, it''s him! Chapter 467: Acquired Anle Cinema Kowloon Harbour City, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, top box. Xia Yu and Jiang Xieqiang sat face to face, stacks of delicate snacks were placed on the table, and a cup of hot tea was placed in front of each of them. Seeing Xia Yu looking at him with a smile, Jiang Zhiqiang was a little restless instead. After all, although Xia Yu was much younger than him, he did not know how many times Xia Yugao was in terms of strength and social status, which made him very psychologically pressured. "Jiang Sheng, I have an appointment with you tonight, I think you should have a guess!" Xia Yu didn''t drag his feet, but asked calmly, and began to lead the topic. Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "It''s a bit, but I''m not sure if it is." In fact, after receiving Xia Yu''s invitation, Jiang Zhiqiang stayed in the office and thought for a long time. As the saying goes, you can''t afford to be early without profit! Thinking about it, Jiang Zhiqiang thought that Xia Yu would be attracted by his own Anle Film Company and Anle Cinema. Except for these two, there should be nothing in him that would arouse Xia Yu''s interest. After having this guess, Jiang Zhiqiang thought a lot and struggled for a long time, and finally came to the appointment with a sense of anxiety. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Then I won''t go around in circles." Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang was a little caught off guard, but he hurriedly sat up straight and held his breath to look at Xia Yu, waiting for his showdown. "I want to buy Anle Cinemas and Anle Pictures." Xia Yu''s face was indifferent, his lips lightly opened, and he said something that made Jiang Zhiqiang''s mind shake. Jiang Zhiqiang took a deep breath and forced his mood to calm down. After thinking for a long time, he looked at Xia Yu with a wry smile and asked, "Xia Sheng, you can see my company. This is my honour, but I have something to think about. No, I wonder if I can ask you some questions?" Seeing that Jiang Xieqiang did not bluntly refuse, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Excuse me!" "Xia Sheng, our film industry is a small industry. You are the top tycoon of Xiangjiang. You shouldn''t be worth the hard money. Why would you want to enter the film industry?" After speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Xia Yu with piercing eyes, wanting to know his true attitude. As he said, the film industry is a small industry, and the most powerful is the Shao family, but the entire Shao family is a small role in front of Xia Yu. The real wealthy families simply disdain to enter the film entertainment industry, and there are still many wealthy families who view the film industry with a colored perspective. The big family can watch the TV industry because TV stations have media attributes and represent the right to speak. But in the film industry, the media attribute can be ignored, and the main attribute is entertainment. Therefore, for Xia Yu, the top tycoon of Xiangjiang River, to suddenly show interest in the film industry, it is definitely a major event that will cause a major earthquake in the film industry. If Xia Yu is really determined to enter, the Hong Kong film industry will definitely have to reshuffle, even the Shao family can''t stand it. Because of this, Jiang Zhiqiang didn''t dare to refuse directly. He only had to understand Xia Yu''s true thoughts so that he could act at the right moment and make the most advantageous choice. Perceiving Jiang Zhiqiang¡¯s thoughts, Xia Yu¡¯s mouth curled up with a slight arc, and said: ¡°The film industry is placed in front of the financial industry. It is really small and pitiful. However, my main purpose in entering the film industry is not to make money in the film industry. The money is related to my entire cultural, media and entertainment industry chain. If you think about my current company, you will know the importance." Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang shook his whole body, contemplating his eyebrows, and his heart sank as he thought about it. From these simple words, he felt Xia Yu''s determination not to change. Since the industrial chain is involved, it is a matter of career strategy, and no one can stop Xia Yu from entering the film industry. Unfortunately! The film industry was really targeted by the real big guys, and he still came directly to the theaters. It really was a big shot that fits the status of a big guy. Jiang Zhiqiang couldn''t help but smile. He took a deep breath and calmed down again, thanking Xia Yu for answering first, and then asking again: "Xia Sheng, why do you look at our company?" In Jiang Xieqiang''s gaze, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said something that made Jiang Xieqiang a little dumbfounded. "I am not after your company." "I''m after a talent like you!" "I?" Jiang Zhiqiang didn''t react at first, but after seeing Xia Yu''s sure gaze, he felt flattered. "Xia Sheng, you laughed, but I shouldn''t be the talent you said." Jiang Zhiqiang hurriedly said, but he was very comfortable in his heart, and was highly praised by the big people looking up. This kind of gap led to a strong sense of honor. "I never boast easily. You are indeed a rare talent in the film industry." "Otherwise, it''s just the cinema chain. Do you think that I can buy all the independent cinemas with money and form the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong?" Although Xia Yu said it lightly, Jiang Zhiqiang agreed. He knew that what Xia Yu said could definitely be done easily. At this time, he also seemed to figure it out, and it seemed that only this reason could be explained. After all, there are only 4 cinemas in their family''s Anle theater line. Although it is one of the five major theater lines, it is also at the bottom. Xia Yu can easily build one that surpasses his home. "Jiang Sheng, next, I will form a cinema that is not inferior to Shaw Brothers and Jiahe. I hope you can help me take care of it. Your Anle Cinema and Anle Films will also be sold to me." "I think this should be more helpful for realizing your dream." Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang looked solemnly and thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he agreed that Xia Yu''s acquisition and solicitation was the best choice. Whether he agrees or not, Xia Yu is destined to enter the film industry. It''s like a big crocodile entering a small pond. Everyone will be affected. He is no exception. His small arms and legs can''t withstand the impact. Another thing is that he doesn''t really value whether he makes money or not. He really loves movies from the bottom of his heart. He runs theaters and Anle Pictures to support his dreams. I want to ask how much he loves movies? He still remembers last year his mother asked him when he wanted to take the photo, and his answer was: "I won''t take the photo if the money is lost." In his view, making money is not important, but the important thing is: "Life is already very happy when the audience applauds." Only by agreeing to Xia Yu''s solicitation and with the support of the boss of the stock **** can he better realize his dream. For reasons, or forced by reality, he can only agree to be the best choice. After thinking it through, Jiang Zhiqiang nodded in Xia Yu''s smiling eyes: "Xia Sheng, thank you for your importance, I am willing to sell the company to you!" "Then let''s talk down!" After speaking, Xia Yu and Jiang Zhiqiang talked about the specific details of the acquisition of Anle Cinemas and Anle Films. Jiang Xieqiang had a good attitude, and he needed him to take care of the theater, so Xia Yu didn''t stingy, and gave Jiang Xieqiang a price that exceeded his psychological expectations, and bought Anle Theater and Anle Pictures. And hired him as the general manager of the theater company. Chapter 468: 3-party cooperation The next day, in Xia Yu''s office in Jiuding Building, Xia Yu signed a company equity transfer contract and an employment contract with Jiang Zhiqiang. The package price of the two Anle Cinemas and Anle Films was HK$18 million. Xia Yu directly wrote a large cheque from Jiuding Bank and handed it to Jiang Xieqiang. Seeing that the equity certificate was received by the boss Xia Yu, Jiang Zhiqiang cut off his last thoughts and looked down at the agreement in his hand and the check for 18 million Hong Kong dollars. After thinking about it, he pleaded: "Boss, I don''t know where to use so much money for the time being. Can I leave it to Jiuding Securities to take care of it?" Xia Yu raised his brows, a little surprised, but he readily agreed: "Yes, I will tell Wang Qi later, you and him are colleagues, you don¡¯t need to see outsiders, and you can give him the money when you want to invest. No need to worry about the loss." "I''m not worried. If Jiuding Securities Co. loses money, then no securities company or fund in the whole Xiangjiang will be profitable." Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile. This kind of flattery made Xia Yu shook his head and smiled. "By the way, Xeon, you will take care of the theaters from now on, but before that, I will tell you something first." "Cici, go get Liu Tianci and Liu Shihao in." After talking to Jiang Zhiqiang, Xia Yu said to Li Qian, who was waiting quietly beside him. Hearing this familiar and an unfamiliar name, Jiang Zhiqiang narrowed his smile and waited. He knows that Liu Tianci is the general manager of Jiuding Bank. It must be very important for him to come in and discuss with him. "boss!" Soon, Liu Tianci, general manager of Jiuding Bank, and Liu Shihao, general manager of Jiuding Real Estate, walked in. The company integration is still in progress, but the framework has already been set, so the names of the various companies have been registered, and in order to make the company integration smooth, Xia Yu has appointed managers. Liu Shihao, who has a brilliant performance in Wharf Real Estate, was rejected by Xia Yu. Yu was promoted to serve as the general manager of Jiuding Real Estate. "sit down!" Let them sit down and Xia Yu will introduce them. "This is Liu Tianci, the general manager of Jiuding Bank, and this is Liu Shihao, the general manager of Jiuding Real Estate." "This is Jiang Zhiqiang, the former owner of Anle Cinemas, and will now be the general manager of Global Cinemas." "Hello there!" ... Jiang Zhiqiang hurriedly shook hands with the two of them, and at the same time he felt excited, the original theater was renamed Global Theater. "Calling the two of you to come here also involves some things for the three parties to cooperate." After a brief start, seeing all three of them listening quietly, Xia Yu continued: "God, next, Universal Cinemas will acquire Xiangjiang''s independent cinema. You have to provide financial support and other help within your ability." "Ok, no problem!" Liu Tianci nodded immediately and responded easily. Jiang Xieqiang was delighted. With the support of Jiuding Bank, he would have no worries about buying the movie theater. "Xeon, the establishment of the global theater chain must be reasonable, and the distribution of its cinemas must be even, so you must consider many aspects when selecting the acquisition target." "But you must win the Taiping Theater. There is one more thing. You can find out about the Lei''s Lisheng Theater and see if it can be taken. As long as it can be taken, the price will be higher." Jiang Zhiqiang was shocked, and immediately said solemnly: "Good boss!" He did not expect that the boss not only let him buy the independent cinema, but also wanted to swallow the Lisheng Cinema line. However, with the owner''s wealth and Jiuding Bank as the backing of the acquisition, this is not impossible. If we take the Lisheng Theater and Taiping Theaters, and combine them with the original Anle Theaters, the leading theaters will definitely surpass the Shaw Theaters. If you just buy a few theaters, you will be able to win the Xiangjiang Theaters market. And there is one thing Xia Yu did not say, that is, if you win the Lisheng Cinema, you will be able to eliminate the Lei Family¡¯s desire to enter the film industry. In the future, the Golden Princess Cinemas and Xinyicheng Film Company will not appear again. This is more beneficial to him. "Shihao, you are responsible for the renovation and renovation of the Global Cinema Line, and redecorate the Global Cinema Line as soon as possible." Xia Yu ordered Liu Shihao. "Ok!" After Liu Shihao responded, he thought for a second and asked, "Boss, is there anything I should pay attention to regarding the renovation of the theater." "Yes, my transformation concept is that Xiangjiang has never appeared, but you should be familiar with it." "Current movie theaters are all low-rise buildings, the land utilization rate is very low, and there is still a lot of value that has not been unearthed." "As long as it is a movie theater in the city center that has a lot of people, it will be demolished and rebuilt. The new movie theater will be built with five or six floors, a parking lot will be built underground, and a large supermarket will be opened on the first floor. Rent out, sell clothing and jewelry, etc.; the third floor is the dining and leisure area, tea restaurant, coffee shop, chess room, etc. "The fourth floor is a children''s play area. I will also let Jiuding Animation Company''s Manke House settle in. The fifth floor is a cinema and movie peripheral product store. If there is a sixth floor, I will rent it out." "This is a micro-commercial integrated service area led by the movie city, integrating leisure, entertainment, dining, and shopping, allowing customers to enjoy a unique movie-watching experience." Speaking of this, the eyes of the three people present were bright, especially Liu Shihao, who is obsessed with commercial complexes. "Do you know how to do it?" Xia Yu asked Liu Shihao. Liu Shihao''s little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded and said, "Boss, I understand, I will definitely follow your request." "One more thing to note is about the internal construction of the cinema." "Nowadays, movie theaters are all a huge viewing area. This kind of viewing experience is not good and it is easy to waste resources. Therefore, in the future, movie theaters will be transformed into multi-hall movie theaters, which are divided into large, medium, small and micro viewing halls. There are four types of locations: 50, 100, 200 and 500." Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Jiang Zhiqiang again and explained: "After being divided into multiple halls, the guaranteed price of each hall will be different. Some movies that were originally not dared to be released also dare to gamble, which is more beneficial to us. " Hearing the explanation, Jiang Zhiqiang nodded in agreement, feeling that it was true. If the Global Cinemas line launches small and medium-sized cinemas in a prosperous area, the producers will not have to spend a lot of money to cover the entire cinema, so it is really possible to gamble, which is indeed beneficial to income generation. At this moment, a subordinate came in to report. A man named Wu Siyuan with Xia Yu''s business card came to the company Xia Yu asked his subordinates to call him in. "Boss, let''s go first!" Liu Tianci and Liu Shihao left, but Jiang Zhiqiang was kept. Soon, Wu Siyuan wearing gold-rimmed glasses entered Xia Yu''s office under the guidance of his subordinates. When he saw Jiang Xieqiang in the office of the stock god, Wu Siyuan''s pupils shrank, and his mind was shocked. It turned out to be Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of Anle Cinemas. He also specifically asked Jiang Zhiqiang for help a few days ago about the release of "Drunken Master". He is certainly no stranger to Jiang Zhiqiang. At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang was here, looking at him with an inexplicable smile. Wu Siyuan felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. After quickly nodding to Jiang Zhiqiang, Wu Siyuan cautiously came to Xia Yu, shook hands with Xia Yu, and greeted him with a humble attitude: "Xia Sheng, hello!" "Wu Sheng, please sit down!" Chapter 469: Galaxy Film Company "Xia Sheng, I will go back to discuss with my master, at most tomorrow, I will definitely give you a clear answer." Wu Siyuan squeezed out a smile and promised. "I look forward to your reply!" Xia Yu was not annoyed because he didn''t get the result he wanted, but shook hands with Wu Siyuan gently. "Then Xia Sheng, I will leave first, I won''t disturb you!" "Go slow!" ... Seeing Wu Siyuan leaving with great heart, Xia Yu smiled, not too worried. "Boss, I don''t think Wu Siyuan has much resistance. He really respects his master Yuan Heping. As long as he talks to Yuan Heping, Yuan Heping should agree." Jiang Zhiqiang seemed to be worried about Xia Yu''s unhappiness, so he thought about it and said. "I just admire him, and it doesn''t matter if I don''t agree. With the theater, everything else is minor problems, and there are other alternatives." Xia Yuman said nonchalantly. After talking for more than ten minutes, although Wu Siyuan stated that he agreed to Xia Yu''s acquisition, he also said that the company has another shareholder, his master Yuan Heping, so he is not alone in making the decision. So after going back to discuss with Yuan Heping, give Xia Yu another answer. According to Xia Yu''s investigation, Yuan Heping is indeed a shareholder of Siyuan Pictures, and Wu Siyuan should not just make excuses. Anyway, Wu Siyuan promised to give a reply tomorrow, so it''s a big deal to wait another day! ... After Wu Siyuan left Jiuding Building, he kept contacting his master Yuan Heping non-stop. Until Yuan Heping came to Siyuan Pictures'' office, Wu Siyuan''s guilty conscience had not calmed down. Without him, just because Xia Yu''s strong entry into the film industry gave him too much shock! It can be said to be the most important event in the Hong Kong film industry! "Ayuan, what''s the matter with you, why are you looking upset? Our "Drunken Fist" is going well in theaters!" Yuan Heping is 33 years old this year. Although he is not very old, he has been in the industry since he was a teenager. He is experienced enough to be Wu Siyuan¡¯s teacher. He knows the roots of Wu Siyuan. When he saw him at this time, he immediately noticed something was wrong, and sat down with concern. Asked. Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher, it''s not the "Drunken Master" issue, it''s the big event in the Hong Kong film industry, which happens to have something to do with us. Yuan Heping raised an eagle eyebrow and asked curiously: "What is the specific situation?" "That''s it. Three days ago, I was in the Taiping Theater to find out about the movie. I happened to meet the stock **** Xia Yu. Then I was fortunate enough to exchange business cards with him. Who knew that I received the invitation of the stock **** Xia Yu yesterday, and then in the morning I I went to him, but I didn¡¯t expect to meet Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of Anle Cinemas, and learned that Anle Cinemas was actually acquired by Gushen, and that Gushen wanted to enter the film industry. Then he wanted to buy our company." Wu Siyuan said with a wry smile, not knowing whether to be lucky or to cry. In order to meet Xia Yu, I could catch Xia Yu''s line, but I didn''t expect it to happen. It''s just that this line is a bit too tight, and he wanted to tie him up directly, which caught Wu Siyuan off guard. Yuan Heping furrowed his brows in silence, apparently also startled by the news of his apprentice Wu Siyuan. "Ayuan, can you be sure whether Xia Yu''s determination to come in is strong or not?" For a long time, Yuan Heping asked a question of concern. Wu Siyuan nodded heavily and said in a low voice: "Very determined!" "He also revealed to me that the newly established global cinema chain will receive the full support of Jiuding Bank. To build the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong, he does not seem to be telling lies, and there is no need to lie to me." Yuan Heping nodded slightly, thinking for less than ten seconds, and said: "Then sell it. The situation is uncontrollable. It is the best choice to take refuge in Xia Yu." Seeing that the teacher agreed, Wu Siyuan nodded, sighed, and approved Yuan Heping''s statement. No matter how good they make a movie, if there is no cinema screen in the end, the money will be lost in the end. According to Xia Yu''s attitude today, Global Cinemas has acquired Anle Cinemas. The goal is to build the largest cinemas in Hong Kong. There is no doubt that it will focus on independent cinemas. There are only 25 independent movie theaters large and small. To meet the goals of the global cinema chain, they will definitely be swallowed up. At that time, there will be very few independent cinemas in Xiangjiang, leaving behind the Global Cinemas, Shaw Cinemas, Jiahe Cinemas, Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas. Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Cinemas are basically their own homes, and Lisheng also has a few, mainly showing Jiahe movies. As for the Shuangnan Cinemas, they dare not take their films for the Taiwanese market. So I can only get it to the Universal Theater. But if you refuse Xia Yu, don''t say he is embarrassed to come back, even if you ask for it, you may not get the movie to be released. In that case, it is better to bow to the situation and throw under Xia Yu, and they will have a big backing. What''s more, Xia Yu also expressed his opinion to him, only purchasing 90% of his company''s shares, leaving 10% for them, and this time "Drunken Master" will not take advantage of them. In this way, they are also considered as minority shareholders. If they catch Xia Yu''s line, they will not make less money than they are now, and the future will be brighter! "Then Master, I promised him." Wu Siyuan let out a sigh of relief and said. "Yeah! Promise him!" Yuan Heping nodded and said. ... The next day, Wu Siyuan gave Xia Yu a reply. Xia Yu immediately arranged a contract. Soon Wu Siyuan, Yuan Heping and Xia Yu signed the agreement in the office. Because it is a film company, the actual assets are nothing except some equipment, old film copyrights, employees, and contacts. In addition, the previous revenue was also very low. So after excluding "Drunken Fist", Siyuan Films made a price of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xia Yu spent 19 million to take a 95% stake in Siyuan Films. Among them, 9 million is the cost of purchasing the equity in the hands of Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, and the money is divided equally between Wu Siyuan and Yuan He. The additional 10 million yuan belonged to Xia Yu¡¯s capital injection into the company. Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping did not follow up, so their 10% equity was diluted and only 5% remained. Although the equity was less, But the equity value remains unchanged. In addition, the company has two shareholders, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, each holding 2.5% of the equity. As for how the equity will change in the future, it depends on whether Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping will follow up the capital injection in the future. After signing the contract, Xia Yu, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping briefly talked about some things of interest, and soon the topic turned to the company''s future development. "Siyuan, the company has changed its name to Galaxy Film Company. You are responsible for the name change. You don''t need to make a big fuss. Before the theater is completed, keep it as confidential as possible to avoid trouble." "After the name is changed, recruit people as soon as possible, especially those behind the scenes. The long-term scale should be expanded to ten times. The company must ensure that the company''s independent annual output of films reaches ten, and the film production has a screenwriting system. How to do it? If you don''t understand, go to Universal The TV station asked Huang Xizhao." "There is also an employee brokerage contract. I will ask Shufen Chen from Global Brokerage to contact you to do this." "Okay! I''ll do it right away when I go back!" Wu Siyuan immediately nodded to ensure. After talked about some details again, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping got up and left. When they left, Xia Yu showed a relaxed smile. The layout of the film industry is complete, and it only takes time to wait. In fact, for the film company, Xia Yu also wanted to name Universal Studios, but this name already exists, and he is still a Hollywood giant. There is no way but to take the name of Galaxy Film Company. As for the name of Universal, I will see if there is a chance to acquire Universal Pictures in the future. In fact, it is not without benefits to take Galaxy Films. One is that the current relationship with Xia Yu will not be exposed, and it will not arouse the vigilance of Shao and Jiahe. Another benefit is long-term. In the United States, movie companies are not allowed to own theater chains, or they will be considered a monopoly. Movie companies and theater companies have different names, and they are justified in face. Chapter 470: Some people dont have eyes The night is melting, the dark sky is dotted with stars, and the sound of the rustling waves sounded, which is a leisurely and beautiful seaside night scene. It was eight o''clock in the evening, and Xia Yu''s family had just finished dinner in a large villa by the sea. "Brother, come here, I have something to tell you." Xia Ming whispered in Xia Yu''s ear. Seeing the mysterious appearance of his younger brother, Xia Yu became interested, and came to the room with him, and saw his younger brother rummaged in the drawer. Then, he saw several Rubik''s Cubes out of his hand. "Why, your Rubik''s cube skills are well practiced, and want to perform it?" Xia Yu joked. After the Rubik''s Cube was first made, Xia Yu took a box of exquisite Rubik''s Cube home and gave it to his younger siblings to play or give away. Xia Ming became obsessed with this Rubik''s Cube, which can both entertain and exercise his own thinking, and often competed with his classmates for speed. For Xia Ming''s play, after Xia Yu''s explanation, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother are also very supportive of the younger son. Xia Ming showed embarrassment and quickly explained: "No, brother, there is a problem with these Rubik''s Cubes, you can take a look." "something wrong?" Xia Yu was puzzled, and took the Rubik''s Cube in Xia Ming''s hands. It doesn''t feel right, this Rubik''s Cube is too rough! Perceiving something wrong, Xia Yu picked up these Rubik''s Cubes one by one and observed them carefully. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and asked his brother: "Aming, where did these Rubik''s Cubes come from?" "It was bought by our classmates next door. I asked them and bought them for 2 yuan each. I didn''t feel right, so I bought them with them and brought them back for you to see." Xia Ming said quickly, very angry. Although he is not very old, after all, he has a great elder brother, who unknowingly has a trace of business thinking under his usual ears and eyes. He knew that Rubik''s Cube was a product of his brother and had an exclusive patent. Now such a low-quality and cheap Rubik''s Cube suddenly appeared on the market. It must be a fake and would infringe his brother''s interests, so he quickly told his brother Xia Yu. "Brother, those who sell fakes are too hateful, you must take care of them!" Xia Ming said angrily. Xia Yu smiled, patted Xia Ming on the shoulder, and said relaxedly: "Okay, I know, I will take care of this. You did a good job this time, but you are still young, so put your mind on studying. ." "Brother, the teacher said that I am now in the top three of the class, and I have worked very hard!" Xia Ming quickly explained, for fear of being misunderstood by his brother. Xia Yu smiled: "Don''t be arrogant, when is the real ability to stay first in the next grade?" "Oh, good!" Xia Ming''s face was bitter, and he answered honestly. After that, Xia Yu took a few Rubik''s Cubes and left Xia Ming''s room. ... The next day, the office of the chairman of Jiuding Building. Xia Yu sat quietly, and opposite him was Ma Tengdong who had just sat down. "How is the sale of Rubik''s Cube?" Xia Yu asked casually. Ma Tengdong thought for a while and replied: "As of last week, a total of 420,000 Rubik''s Cubes have been shipped and sold through channels to Southeast Asia and island countries. The cost price of ordinary Rubik''s Cube is less than 0.2 Hong Kong dollars, the ex-factory price is 3.5 Hong Kong dollars, and the unified retail price is 5 Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the higher-priced boutique Rubik¡¯s cube, the total revenue of the toy factory¡¯s Rubik¡¯s cube is currently 1.54 million Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and was not disappointed by the low revenue. Although the revenue is only 1.54 million, the net profit is definitely more than one million, although outsiders will definitely curse the black heart if they know it. But isn''t the business like that? There are many people who earn IQ money in later generations, and cost dozens of dollars and sell for tens of thousands. Only 420,000 units have been sold so far, and only a small portion of the market has been developed. If you sell several million or even tens of millions of units, and the price of selling them abroad is higher, the profit will be terrible. Moreover, the Rubik''s Cube is still a long-lasting toy, which Xia Yu certainly does not despise. "The Rubik''s Cube has reached this level of free development. It is time to start the marketing strategy, but before that, we must solve some problems to avoid making wedding dresses for others." "trouble?" "Look at these few." When Ma Tengdong was puzzled, Xia Yu opened the drawer, took out the inferior Rubik''s Cubes given to him by his brother last night, and pushed them in front of Ma Tengdong. Ma Tengdong was a little puzzled, but after taking a look at the Rubik''s Cube, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly explained: "Boss, this is definitely not our Rubik''s Cube, I can guarantee it." "I know." Xia Yu said indifferently: "This is from my brother''s school, and it is priced at HK$2 each." Ma Tengdong''s face changed rapidly, both angry and ashamed, and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Boss, I''m sorry, I was careless. I lived up to your expectations and didn''t notice these things." "Well, things have happened, now the most important thing is to find a solution." Xia Yu gently exposed, but did not reprimand Ma Tengdong. Of course, Xia Yu also knows that Ma Tengdong is not to blame for this. After all, although the sales volume of Rubik''s Cube is amazing, the value created is only more than one million. The value created by the entire Jiuding Animation Company has gone, and his mind is more Manga, anime and Manke¡¯s House are also normal. "Boss, don''t worry. I will send someone to investigate immediately when I go back. I will find a way to block them all." Ma Tengdong gritted his teeth and assured him, a trace of evil spirit appeared in his eyes, bullying him, and causing him to lose points in front of the boss, how could he swallow this breath? Xia Yu did not immediately agree, but he pondered for a moment, and told Ma Tengdong: "Now there will be pirated factories, not many have a clean foundation. You can find out which ones are, and tell me. I will let people do it. You focus on the main thing." Ma Tengdong heard this, although he was a little unwilling, but he also agreed with the boss, so he could only nod his head and said, "Okay!" "Go!" Dismissing Ma Tengdong, Xia Yu''s mouth curled up, and he murmured, "The copycat is on my head, haha, I think who is so courageous and kills chickens, I can make money from marketing with peace of mind. " ... The Kowloon Walled City is located in the north of Mong Kok, Kowloon, south of the New Territories, and north of Kai Tak Airport. Just because when the treaty was signed, it was stated that this piece of land within the territory of Xiangjiang still belonged to China, but the mainland government did not want to go deep here to disturb or be treated as a provocative act, and gradually became a den of anarchy. Many people who broke the law in Xiangjiang fled here, and then took root, and because of this, they couldn''t manage. Naturally, there were continuous chaos of selling washing powder, smuggling, killing, and robbery. At seven o''clock in the evening, in an ordinary house on the east side of the Kowloon Walled City, Liao Pengliang was happily telling his brother Liao Pengfei about the income of the factory. "Brother, this money is really good. Up to now, the factory has made a total of 200,000 yuan." Although Liao Pengfei had seen more money, he was still surprised by this number. "Why so much? This gadget makes so much money?" Liao Pengfei played with the Rubik''s Cube in his hand, eyes full of surprise. He is one of the big brothers of the Tigers, and his brothers also have nearly two hundred each month, he collects protection fees, sells washing powder and does dirty work, and earns more than one million yuan a month. But since the rise of his rival Xia Lei, in order to fight against Xia Lei, he had to spend more money to win over his men, so that he didn''t have much money left every month, and his life was not so smooth. As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, Liao Pengfei had longed for this kind of life before and took the initiative to join the club, but only after he came in did he realize the hardships of life. He put his head on his waist every day. Therefore, for his only brother Liao Pengliang, he is firmly forbidden to join the club. Fortunately, although his younger brother Liao Pengliang didn''t read anything, he liked petty theft since he was a child, but he still had a business mind. He said more than a month ago that he would do something Rubik''s Cube and borrowed money from him to open a factory. At that time, Liao Pengfei didn''t care too much, and directly gave his brother one hundred thousand yuan. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the factory made 200,000 yuan! This completely exceeded Liao Pengfei''s expectations! Chapter 471: One Arrow and Three Sculptures "Brother, the main reason is that the profit is too large. The cost of building a Rubik''s Cube is only 15 cents. But I sold it at 1.2 Hong Kong dollars ex-factory. The original Rubik''s Cube sold in the market has an ex-factory price of 3.5 Hong Kong dollars and a selling price of 5 Hong Kong dollars. It''s cheap, of course it''s easy to sell!" Liao Pengliang said triumphantly. "But besides me, there are two other companies making Rubik''s Cube. I have talked to those two bosses, and everyone has discussed it. Otherwise, there will be no such big profits if there is a price war." "A Liang, you really have a good business mind. Brother did not misunderstand you. You will definitely be better than Brother in the future!" Liao Pengfei said happily after listening to his brother''s narration with a smile. "Hey!" Liao Pengliang scratched his head and smiled. "A Liang, I seem to have heard you say that this Rubik''s Cube is produced by a company under the stock god. Now you are robbing him of business, so be careful." Seeing that his younger brother seemed to be floating a little, Liao Pengfei suppressed his smile and solemnly told his younger brother. "Brother, don''t worry, I''ve been on guard for a long time, otherwise, I won''t install the factory in the stockade. The Hong Kong government doesn''t care about it. Even if the stock **** has great ability, can his hand reach our stockade? " Liao Pengliang said nonchalantly. It can only be said that the ignorant is fearless, and the vision of the little man is too narrow after all. "Don''t be arrogant, that Xia Yu can be great. I heard that the Ma family was destroyed because he had his hands and feet in it. And you know, Thunder Tiger is not going to deal with me. He is from Xia Yu''s village. I heard that he has relatives. Relationship, if he knows about it, there will always be trouble." Liao Pengfei knew some information about Xia Yu better than his younger brother, so instead of being arrogant, he warned again. "Brother, what are you afraid of, that Xia Yu''s worth of billions, no matter where he is worthy of this small amount of money, we will not know if we make it, and that Thunder Tiger has not been against you for a day or two, and it is still a rebellion. Zai, you don¡¯t even listen to your boss¡¯s orders. I think you might as well take your boss together and get rid of him, or the Tigers will split sooner or later." Liao Pengliang was full of self-confidence, and instead of listening to his brother Liao Pengfei, he encouraged him. Liao Pengfei¡¯s attention was diverted. He frowned and thought for a while, and said to his younger brother: "I will take care of these things. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. You don¡¯t have to worry about the club. It¡¯s hard for me to get out. It''s up to you to inherit the incense." "ok, I get it." ... "There are actually three cottage factories, all with community backgrounds. One of them is in the Kowloon Walled City. The owner is Liao Pengliang. The eldest brother is a senior in the Tigers. Liao Pengfei, nicknamed "Big Bird Brother"." "A in the suburbs of Kowloon City, the boss''s patron is the Black Dragon Hall, the rival of the Tigers." "The other is in Kowloon, but in Kwun Tong District." This year, Xiangjiang is really dark. Many small businessmen either have a chamber of commerce behind them, or they will be raised as pigs by the community, sucking blood, and will be killed when they are fat, or they have found the community as a backer. It is undoubtedly a dream to want to develop and grow steadily without relying on the chamber of commerce, nor the association, or being caught up by the association! Xia Yu knew all these things well, so he was not surprised when he learned that the Shanzhai factory has a community background. Those big businessmen don''t care about the profits of Rubik''s Cube, and they won''t touch Xia Yu''s whiskers. Only those small businessmen dare to do such things with a fluke mentality. After reading it, Xia Yu focused on a piece of information, which was surprisingly detailed information about the Tiger Club. Xia Yu hadn''t forgotten that Xia Lei was in the Tiger Club, and with his support, he had grown stronger and had a certain amount of power. When Ma Tengdong collected a certain level of information, Xia Yu realized that it was difficult for Ma Tengdong to continue to investigate further due to the actual situation, so he decisively let the netizens take over. Soon, Ma Qianjun sent extremely detailed information to Xia Yu. For the Tiger Club, a society with a certain power, because Xia Yu is very concerned, he even touched the sky. According to investigations, the Tiger Club is active in Kowloon City District. The west side of Kowloon City District is the deep-water wading area, the east side is Kwun Tong District, and the south side is Yau Tsim Mong District. Kowloon Walled City belongs to the Kowloon City District. From an economic point of view, the Kowloon City District is not as developed. It is incomparable to the Yau Tsim Mong District with Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok in the south. However, although the oil and water in the Kowloon City District is not too high, there are still many forces entangled. There are three biggest forces in the Kowloon City District. In addition to the Tigers, there are also the Black Dragon Hall and Xin Ngee''an. Among the three forces, Xin Ngee''an is the strongest, with more than 1,200 troops. Of course, although Xin Ngee Ann is one of the three major associations in Hong Kong, its influence is too widespread, covering Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon City, Kwun Tong and Mong Kok in Kowloon, and Tseung Kwan O, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Kwai Chung and Tai Po in the New Territories. , Fanling, Cheung Chau on the outlying islands, and some construction sites on Hong Kong Island. Therefore, although Xin Ngee Ann has a lot of staff, there is only one regional leader in the Kowloon City District, which has three main offices. The three parties have conflicts with each other. Although Xinyi''an is the strongest, local forces cannot kill the other two forces. It is not realistic to transfer brothers from other places in the same society. After all, Xinyi''an also has opponents in other places. Moreover, the opponent is stronger, the number Gang and Heshenghe of the three major clubs in Hong Kong. In addition to these three powers, there are a few at the next level, and many survive in the cracks. In addition, there are many veterans and descendants of veterans who are hiding in the Kowloon Walled City because of historical problems. Therefore, the Kowloon City District is a mixed bag. The topic returns to the Tigers. The boss of the Tiger Club is Wang Hu, who is known as the "king tiger" in the rivers and lakes. There are more than 800 people in the club. The club is mainly composed of three forces. There are more than 300 people directly under Wang Hu, and the two red sticks "Big Bird Flying" Liao Pengfei and "Thunder Tiger" Xia Lei each have more than two hundred men and horses. Originally, the Tiger Club had only more than 600 troops, and the two red clubs did not include Xia Lei, but one of the red clubs was killed by the black dragon hall. Xia Lei took the position. Later, with the support of Xia Yu, Xia Lei quickly recruited troops. , And Liao Pengfei fight against ceremony. As a result, the overall strength of the Tigers has also increased a lot Originally the strength of the Tigers has increased, Wang Hu should be happy as the boss, but Xia Lei is a thorn, and all his performances have shown it. Ambitious. In addition, there was news that Xia Lei had been helped by his relatives in the same village, Xia Yu, which made Wang Hu sit on pins and needles, secretly suppress Xia Lei, and deliberately pushed Liao Pengfei to target Xia Lei. "It seems that although Arley is good at strength, he is in a bad situation. He is faced with enemies inside and outside. With Wang Hu, it is undoubtedly very troublesome for him to continue to grow, unless he breaks the ceiling. After Xia Yu read the information, he came to a conclusion. After that, Xia Yu picked up the detailed information of Heilongtang and continued to browse. After reading all the information, Xia Yu fell into deep thought. After a long time, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Yes, if this plan is successful, I will kill three birds with one stone!" Chapter 472: Encounter by the sea "Brother Marco, this time I need...Is it difficult?" Xia Yu ordered Ma Qianjun carefully, and looked at him expectantly. Ma Qianjun nodded blankly, and said relaxedly: "No difficulty, you can do it these days." Upon hearing this, Xia Yu smiled: "Okay!" After that, watching Ma Qianjun leave, Xia Yu let out a sullen air, showing an expectant smile. ... "Go, Cici, let''s go picnic on the beach." "Well, I''m ready, let''s go." Li Qian said joyfully. After that, Xia Yu took Li Qian out of the building, and then went to the agreed place to pick up He Chaoqiong, and then went to the shop where the ingredients were ordered to get the ingredients, and the car drove towards the predetermined location. It didn''t take long before he saw the blue coastline. After the car stopped, He Chaoqiong pulled Li Qian and ran towards the beach with cheers, and Xia Yu followed behind with a smile. As for the various ingredients and grills, several bodyguards are responsible for bringing them. Set up a rack to burn the fire, and soon a few barbecue racks are set up. Beach chairs, picnic cloths, sun umbrellas and other items are all set. "Xia Yu, what do you want to eat, I''ll bake it for you!" He Chaoqiong opened several boxes of fresh seafood, and said lively, eager to try. "I love everything you bake!" Xia Yu suddenly said, making the unprepared He Chaoqiong''s face flushed for a short time, but he felt happy in his heart. "Then I will grill abalone for you. I heard that men eat abalone to replenish their bodies." He Chaoqiong said happily, grabbing a few abalones and placing them on the grill. "Cici, won''t you bake some for me? I really want to taste your craft too!" Seeing a trace of loss flashing in Li Qian''s eyes, Xia Yu said to Li Qian in a very gentle tone. "Yeen, I will bake you too." Li Qian, who was initially a little lost, felt better instantly, smiled sweetly, and picked up seafood to prepare for Xia Yu to grill. Seeing the two women grilling seafood for him very carefully, Xia Yu''s eyes were full of tenderness. Looking down at the precious seafood in the various water tanks, Xia Yu felt itchy in his hands. He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a three-jin-heavy lobster. Just as the three of Xia Yu were grilling enthusiastically, Li Wuming and several other bodyguards also started their hands on the barbecue grill next to them, each in high spirits. After all, with the exception of Li Wuming, these precious seafood are hard to eat, and they were reluctant to eat them before. Now that they have a good taste with the boss, of course they have to enjoy it. As time passed, bursts of strong fragrance began to fill the air, and people couldn''t help but move their index fingers. "The abalone is cooked, Xia Yu, quickly taste it." He Chaoqiong took out a small dish, picked up a piece of abalone, gently blown off the heat, and held it in front of Xia Yu with both hands, full of expectation in his beautiful eyes. "Then I want to try it." "Well, it''s delicious, it''s delicious, better than the five-star hotel." Xia Yu picked up the plump and juicy abalone and took a bite, showing an expression of enjoyment. When he opened his eyes, he said in admiration. "Really? Where is it? I don''t think it''s baked well." He Chaoqiong''s face was like a peach blossom, and said joyfully, although she knew that Xia Yu was coaxing her, she was happier instead. "Of course it is true, there is a smell in it that is not in the hotel." Xia Yu said solemnly and positively, with a serious expression on his face. "What is the taste?" He Chaoqiong blurted out and asked, blinking at Xia Yu with big eyes, even Li Qian looked at him curiously. "It''s the taste of love." Xia Yu said with a smile. This unpredictable earthy love story caused all the pink stars in He Chaoqiong''s heart to explode, and the whole person fell into a sea of ??joy. "Come on, I will **** Cici''s love again... Well, I feel it..." "Come on, try the loving lobster I grilled for you..." ... The atmosphere of this seaside barbecue was very warm. Xia Yu felt very relaxed. It seemed that which nerve in his mind suddenly became thicker, and all kinds of earthy love words kept pouring out. Li Qian and He Chaoqiong could not extricate themselves from falling in love. After eating, the three of them lay on the beach, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong leaned in Xia Yu''s arms one by one, and kept telling their hearts. "Xia Yu, my daddy wants to send me to the U.S. to study at university, but I don''t want to go. Once I go there, I won''t be able to see you." He Chaoqiong drew circles on Xia Yu''s chest and said quietly. "Then don''t go, Xiangjiang can also go to university, as long as you work hard, it will be the same everywhere." Xia Yu embraced He Chaoqiong and said decisively. "But I want to help you like my sister, I don''t want to study anymore." "Sister, I haven''t helped Xia Yu. You can listen to Xia Yu. Only after reading the book can I do more!" Li Qian looked into He Chaoqiong''s eyes and gently suggested that she was not wary or disgusted by He Chaoqiong''s words. As long as it is beneficial to Xia Yu, she is willing to support. "Well, Chao Qiong, Cici is right, don''t learn from me. After all, your husband and I are a special case. You have to study hard to help me better in the future." Xia Yu also said earnestly. "Okay, I will study hard and help you make money after graduation." He Chaoqiong pursed his mouth, tapped Zhenshou and said, with a determination in his heart. "Lying for so long, let''s walk along the coastline!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, the two women got up, holding Xia Yu''s hand on the left and the right, and accompanied Xia Yu on a walk along the beach. "Huh? Someone over there!" Just after passing a small sand dune, the three of them saw four men not far away were also having a picnic there, drinking beer there, He Chaoqiong said with some surprise. "Don''t worry about them, let''s keep going!" Xia Yu glanced casually and then retracted his gaze without paying attention. After all, there were several bodyguards behind him. What was he worried about? The sudden appearance of Xia Yu and others also attracted the attention of the four who were drinking. Especially seeing Xia Yu hugging left and right, followed by bodyguards, these people realized that Xia Yu was a big man, and all of them secretly observed and discussed. When Xia Yu got closer, the face of one of the youths with Guozi face changed, and he said in surprise, "Look, is the one in the middle very similar to the **** of stocks?" "Stock god? Let me see!" The words of the young man with the Chinese character face shocked the other three The three immediately stared at them with eyebrows. "It seems to be true, very similar!" "Left hugs right, and bodyguards follow. It fits the way a big guy travels. It''s really possible to be a stock god." "It''s not possible, it''s our chairman, I will never admit it!" A handsome young man with his back to Xia Yu and others turned his head and saw Xia Yu, his face changed, and he said affirmatively. "Rongzi, really?" "Afa, I can still admit my mistakes. If there is no chairman, I still don''t know where or where I can get such good treatment now. The chairman is kind to me!" The handsome young man named Rongzi said affirmatively. "Since Rongzi said so, there can be no mistake. It seems that we had a lucky day today!" Chapter 473: Wield a **** to dig the foot of the wall After confirming that it was Xia Yu, all of them were ready to move, wanting to show their face in front of Xia Yu. If something beautiful happened, it would be exciting to think about it! They just felt inappropriate when seeing Xia Yu''s current situation. In case Xia Yu''s good mood was disturbed, it would be bad. Especially the young man named Rongzi, he felt a few people put their eyes on him, and he suddenly understood the meaning of his friends, and he felt embarrassed by encouraging him to come forward. Can he say that he has no guts to walk over? "Hey, Xia Yu, all of you stood up and looked at us, seeming to want to come over." Li Qian, who inadvertently glanced at it, said to Xia Yu. After hearing the sound, Xia Yu looked at those people again, suddenly his eyes condensed slightly, revealing a look of interest. "Xia Yu, what''s wrong?" Seeing Xia Yu''s face change, He Chaoqiong asked curiously. "I saw the people I knew were employees of the TV station." Xia Yu said with a faint smile, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He recognized them. One of them was Zhang Weirong, and the other was Zhou Runfa when he was young. He didn''t expect Zhang Weirong and Zhou Run to find out that they knew each other, and it seemed that the relationship was pretty good. As for the other two people, Xia Yu only felt familiar. It should have been seen on TV in a previous life, but he couldn''t remember their names. "Oh, I don''t even know." He Chaoqiong said straightforwardly. Xia Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly, He Chaoqiong didn''t know it and it was normal. Zhang Yurong hadn''t made his mark yet, and Chow Yunfa didn''t seem to have acted in the famous work "Shanghai Beach." correct! "Shanghai Beach"! This wireless trump card TV drama is a shining jewel in Hong Kong Entertainment. Once it was broadcast, it became popular in Hong Kong, and then quickly became popular in Asia. In future generations, it was remade five times! Although Universal Television has Xia Yu''s big gold finger, if it is faced with the products of this era, it may not be able to withstand it. Universal Television is likely to be defeated! Fortunately, this "Shanghaitan" has not yet been produced, but after considering the time, it should be about to start production. Now that he knows the value of this TV series and its possible impact, Xia Yu certainly will not turn a blind eye. The best way is to make "Shanghaitan" his own. In this way, Zhou Runfa will definitely dig through Universal TV, and Zhao Zhenqiang, the director of "Shanghaitan", will also dig. Thinking of this, Xia Yu beckoned to Zhang Yurong who was looking at him. Zhang Yurong''s expression was happy, and he immediately said to his brothers, and then ran all the way to Xia Yu under the enviable eyes of the three. "Hello, Chairman!" "Hello two ladies!" Zhang Yurong only glanced at the two women and then withdrew his gaze. Although the two women, especially Li Qian, are beautifully stunning, he also knows that this is the chairman''s woman, and his eyes cannot be looked at randomly. "Rongzi, have a dinner at the beach with friends? It seems to be in a good mood!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Yes, Chairman, a few friends and I came to the beach to gather when the weather was good today. I didn''t expect to be so lucky to meet you here." Zhang Yurong explained with a smile. "It seems we have fate, how is it, how do you feel at the company during this time?" Xia Yu asked with concern. Zhang Yurong was full of gratitude in his eyes and said sincerely: "I feel very good. The company and the leaders have taken good care of me. Thank you for the kindness of the chairman!" Seeing Zhang Yurong''s gratitude, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said casually: "The most important thing is to stand up for yourself, behave well, and don''t let me down!" "Chairman rest assured, I will not shame you!" Zhang Yurong quickly said that his emotional intelligence was very high, and what he said inadvertently pulled Xia Yu closer, which made Xia Yu look at him high. With this emotional intelligence, it''s hard to think of it! "Who are your friends?" Xia Yu glanced at the three people who were standing always paying attention to the situation here, and asked Zhang Weirong. Zhang Yurong was taken aback, and immediately seized the opportunity to help them. He introduced: "They are all people in the entertainment industry. One of them is Huang Baiming who wears glasses, a screenwriter, TVB''s "Huang Feihong" and " "Forcing Liangshan" is his script, he is a very talented person." "The bearded man is called Lin Zixiang, a singer who has released an English album." "The last Chinese character face, the youngest one is Zhou Runfa. He is an actor. He has acted in several TV dramas and is more famous than me." "The three of them are from TVB, but I only met them because of pure friendship." "More friends is a good thing!" Xia Yu said with a faint smile, dispelling a trace of anxiety in Zhang''s heart. "Seeing your friends want to come over, do you want to invite them over?" Xia Yu asked. Zhang Chenrong was surprised, and then he was overjoyed. He didn''t expect the chairman to be so enlightened, so he could have completed the commission of his friends so easily. "Chairman, they just wanted to come over and say hello to you, but they didn''t dare to come over, I call them over now, they must be very happy!" "Go!" The ordered Zhang Weirong immediately ran towards Zhou Runfa and the others, and after saying a few words to them, he saw that Zhou Runfa and the three of them were happy, and then ran along with Zhang Weirong. "Hello Xia Sheng! Hello, two ladies!" Several people came to Xia Yu and immediately bowed to say hello, with a very sincere attitude. Xia Yu was gentle, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello!" Seeing Xia Yu proactively stretched out their hands, several people were immediately flattered. They quickly wiped their hands and lined up to shake hands with Xia Yu. They all had a very good impression of Xia Yu. Unexpectedly, the stock **** is so approachable! "Zhou Runfa, Huang Baiming, Lin Zixiang?" Xia Yu looked at everyone one by one and said with a smile. "Yes Yes!" Seeing Xia Yu yell out their names, the three of them were surprised. Then they were delighted. They were secretly grateful to Zhang Weirong for being so powerful and introduced them to Xia Yu in advance. "I heard Rongzai say about you, they are all very good, I am optimistic about you, if you are interested in coming to work at my TV station, my company is short of talents like you!" Xia Yu sent out the invitation directly, not only Zhou Runfa and the three were dumbfounded, but even Zhang Weirong did not expect it. Huang Baiming swallowed, and he couldn''t believe it, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Fortunately, Zhang Chengrong was not stupid, and immediately pushed them, winking frantically, and asked them to agree. However, Zhou Runfa has eyesight and is smart. Seeing Xia Yu smiling and waiting for their answer, he said without hesitation: "Xia Sheng, thank you for your attention, I am very honored to do things for you!" Zhou Runfa is not stupid. Although he has a little reputation in TVB now, he can be sure that Shao Yifu and other TV station directors have no impression of him. But now the stock **** Xia Yu personally invites him to join the fast-moving Global TV station. Naturally, there is no need to think about how to choose. Being valued by top bosses is nothing short of a pie in the sky. When they arrive at Global TV, their treatment will not be so bad. After all, as a person personally invited by the chairman, the lower treatment is also a scandal for the chairman. Therefore, it is completely predictable that as long as he joins Global TV, his treatment will be better than that of TVB at worst, not to mention that Global TV will know that it has more potential than TVB. "Xia Sheng, I am willing too!" "Thank you Xia Sheng for your importance, I am very honored!" Zhou Runfa''s answer also awakened Huang Baiming and Lin Zixiang, and the two said without hesitation. "well!" Having achieved his goal so easily, Xia Yu was in a good mood. He took out three business cards and gave them to the three of them. The three immediately took them. Then, Xia Yu said to Zhang Chenrong: "Rongzi, you will take the three of them to report, hold my business card, report to Manager Huang, and then go to Manager Chen to sign the contract." "Okay, Chairman!" Zhang Weirong immediately agreed. "Then you guys go ahead and have fun!" Xia Yu scanned everyone''s faces and said with a smile. "Chairman, go slowly!" The four said in unison, and directly changed their name to the chairman. Watching Xia Yu and the others walk away, they could no longer hold back. "Rongzi, awesome! We will be colleagues in the future!" "Yeah, Rongzi, thanks to your kind words to the chairman for us." "Rongzi, don''t say much else, good brother for a lifetime!" Seeing several people thanking him constantly, Zhang Weirong could only cover up his embarrassment with a smile, and he also introduced the basic situation of the three people, where they said anything good, who knows the attitude of the chairman. But he didn''t bother to explain, explaining that they would certainly not believe it, and it might cause other troubles. "Go, let''s drink, have a good celebration, and write a resignation report when we go back!" Huang Baiming yelled, and the four of them returned to the dinner party again, having a barbecue and drinking to celebrate. After a while, the four of them saw two large bodyguards carrying some boxes and placing them in front of them. "This is the seafood sent by the boss. To celebrate your entry in advance, let everyone taste it." After speaking, the two bodyguards turned and left, leaving the four of them messy in the wind. "I lost it, it turned out to be such a big abalone, and this box, what a big lobster!" "Let me see, my God, it''s really big, the chairman is so kind, thank you, chairman!" "I have a blessing today, come here, hurry up and grill it, I want to eat big lobster!" After a few people exclaimed, they were busy with excitement. ... After Xia Yu went back to , he also informed Huang Xizhao that Zhang Weirong would bring someone to the job and arrange Huang Baiming into the editorial department. Lin Zixiang and Zhou Runfa would be a singer and an actor, according to the situation. At the same time, Xia Yu also asked Huang Xizhao to dig people and dig someone from the TVB station called Zhao Zhenqiang. In addition to digging a group of wireless talents to fill the Global TV station. Although Global Television currently has enough talents, according to the current development trend, no amount of talents is enough, and it simply digs into the corner of wireless. Not only can it strengthen itself, but it can also weaken the strength of wireless. These talents are the foundation of TVB. As long as there is a huge talent base, no matter how to suppress it, it will have a chance to come back. Only by moving towards the foundation of wireless can we fundamentally suppress wireless TV stations. Afterwards, Huang Xi went to execute Xia Yu''s orders with high spirits. As you can imagine, Shao Yifu is getting angry again... Chapter 474: Storm hit The golden Uzbekistan falls, and the jade rabbit rises. It¡¯s just that according to the Meteorological Observatory¡¯s report, a typhoon will pass through Xiangjiang in the early hours of tomorrow morning. I don¡¯t know where there will be a dark cloud covering the entire Xiangjiang, making tonight¡¯s night especially hazy. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind blows, causing pedestrians on the road to subconsciously speed up their steps toward home. Argyle Street is a relatively prosperous street in Kowloon City District. It has a relatively long construction period. On both sides of the street, there are many old-fashioned residential areas and small shops densely distributed. This street is a site belonging to the Black Dragon Hall. The people of Black Dragon Hall collect protection fees and operate various underground entertainment venues. At around nine o''clock in the evening, due to weather problems, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, so the businesses on both sides were relatively deserted, and many shops closed their doors. at this time! "Da da da¡­¡­" A rush of footsteps sounded on the open road, and some shopkeepers who had not yet closed their doors came out to take a look. They were so scared that they shrank into the house, and then quickly pulled down the shop door. There are not a few people with similar reactions, because they all know that something is about to happen, and the community is about to merge! It''s better to close the door so that you don''t suffer unreasonable disaster. Around the road, more and more people in black walked out, each holding a sharp weapon, and in a few seconds, they gathered into a stream of black people. Under the light, all kinds of sharp weapons were still shining brightly. The leader was Liao Pengfei, but his eyes were red at this time, and he looked coldly choosing someone to eat. At this time, there was a circle of white cloth wrapped around his head. Not only him, but the nearly two hundred people behind him also wrapped white cloth on his head, looking like an army. It was obvious that some important person had died. Argyle Street is the site of the Black Dragon Hall, and there are people from the Black Dragon Hall watching the scene everywhere. Liao Pengfei, a group of nearly two hundred people, rushed into their site without any secret, making it clear that they were going to fight. Therefore, the people from the Black Dragon Hall immediately reported to their superiors, and in a short while, more and more people from the Black Dragon Hall gathered here. Of course Liao Pengfei knew the situation, but he didn''t care anymore. Instead, he wanted them to come. How could he avenge his brother if he didn''t come? Liao Pengfei let out a cold drink when he came outside an entertainment venue in the Black Dragon Hall. "Smash me!" Suddenly, a group of younger brothers rushed in with sharp weapons in their hands, screams and exclamations came from inside, but Liao Pengfei, who was standing at the door, didn''t care. His brother is dead, someone must be buried! In the general forum of the Tigers, Wang Hu, who was playing mahjong, was shocked when he heard the report of his subordinates, and looked at the report''s subordinates like a knife. "What? Is this true?" "Big brother, really, Fei Ge brought all the brothers below him to the site of the Black Dragon Hall. I heard that his brother was chopped ten times and died in the hands of the Black Dragon Hall Blood Wolf Luo Gang." "Brother Fei cares about his brother the most. Now that his brother is dead, he vowed to let Luo Gang die!" His subordinates reported heavily. Luo Gang, the blood wolf, is one of Heilongtang''s double-flower red sticks, the **** confidant of Heilongtang boss Ye Hailong, and the high-level of Heilongtang. Now Liao Pengfei wants him to resist his order, and Black Dragon Hall absolutely refuses. Now that Liao Pengfei has passed by without authorization, then a fire is inevitable! "Take all the brothers, and tell Xia Lei to also take the men and horses to support the big bird flying." Although Wang Hu was so angry that Liao Pengfei''s self-reliance caught him off guard, he still somewhat understood Liao Pengfei''s actions. However, conflict is inevitable, and now I can only bite the bullet. Soon, not long after Liao Pengfei left, the hands of the entire Tiger Club quickly gathered. ... The entrance to the main hall of Heilongtang. Ye Hailong, the hallmaster of the rivers and lakes known as Long Ye, was hugging left and right in the living room at this time, enjoying the wait of two women. In the living room, there are still several high-levels, each holding one or two women, and a living room becomes a place of chaos, but everyone is used to it. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. He is the boss of the nickname "Silver Dragon". Heilongtang is hard to think of not being yellow. In the entire Kowloon City, the red light market is occupied by Heilongtang on the fifth floor. This is one of their main businesses. . At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and a subordinate saw the silver chaos. Although he was about to move, he knew that it was not the time. Limahui reported: "Big brother, it''s not good, the Tigers will do it. Big Bird Fei brought two hundred people to sweep our place, and now they have reached Argyle Street. They are wrapped in white cloth on their heads, seeming to want revenge." "There is also news that the tigers and thunder tigers of the Tigers are also gathering. It should be to trouble us." "what?!" "Hey, it hurts..." "To shut up!" Sitting on Ye Hailong¡¯s right hand, a bald-faced bald head heard the sound, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, his hands subconsciously grasped the car lights on the chest of the two women in his arms, and the two women couldn¡¯t help crying out. However, Luo Gang''s anger was greeted, and they were shocked to lose their color, shaking and enduring the pain, and did not dare to make any more noises. "Luo Gang, something happened to your site. You killed Da Niaofei''s family? Ask him to wrap his head in a white cloth to trouble you?" The middle-aged man who was opposite Luo Gang asked, he is Ye Hailong''s other capable confidant, Iron Fist Xiao Wu, a Thai Chinese, who has practiced Muay Thai since he was a child, and has practiced Muay Thai with one hand very well. "I just killed a short-eyed bashing on the street yesterday. I don''t know if it is a relative of Big Bird Fei." Luo Gang snorted and said, thinking of yesterday''s events, his heart surged with anger. Although he has a bald head, he still feels a layer of green light on his head. His fame was destroyed in the hands of a basher and a bastard. How did this make him mess with the road? It would be nice if you didn''t chop up the street and feed the dog. Even if he knew that the dead person had something to do with Liao Pengfei, he would still be able to kill it, and even kill it harder! "Okay, don''t talk about so many useless things, now hurry up and bring a good guy, and gather people to prepare for the fight!" Ye Hailong, wearing a blindfold at the top, said solemnly, pushing away the two women in his arms, pulling the drawers next to him, taking out two guns and stuffing them into his waist. When Luo Gang and Xiao Wu saw this, they also opened the drawer beside the table, each took out two guns and a dagger and put them on them, and then walked outside, leaving a few insecure women with scared legs. Limped to the ground After all, the Kowloon City District is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. The various forces are entangled, and a little disturbance can attract many people''s attention, not to mention the two of the three major overlords in Wharf, the Tiger Club and the Black Dragon Hall are about to merge. . This is a shocking event! As the biggest overlord of Kowloon City District, Xin Ngee An naturally learned the news for the first time. The regional leader of New Ngee Ann in Kowloon City is Wu Sihai, and the three seats are Gao Feng, Zhou Jiangliu and He Wenzhong. When Wu Sihai received a report from his subordinates, it happened that Wu Sihai and the three subordinates were discussing to cooperate with the smuggling incident at the headquarters. It was only when he learned that the Black Dragon Hall and the Tiger Club were about to merge, Wu Sihai immediately stopped the discussion and dealt with the current situation first. "What do you think?" Wu Sihai''s eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes swept across the faces of the three of them, and he asked in a deep voice. Chapter 475: Fire and "Big brother, although there are conflicts between the Black Dragon Hall and the Tiger Club, in order to fight us, they have always restrained themselves. Now that the war is suddenly full-blown, will there be ghosts?" A trace of thought flashed in He Wenzhong''s eyes and cautiously analyzed. "It''s possible, now that a full-scale war starts, they won''t worry about our fishermen''s profit?" Gao Feng nodded and said in agreement. Hearing this, Wu Sihai nodded slightly, and did not express his position. He cast his gaze on Zhou Jiangliu, who had not spoken yet, swaying a fan. Zhou Jiangliu is known as the black-hearted fox. Although this nickname is not pleasant, it also implies that Zhou Jiangliu is not only cruel, but also witty. He also likes to ponder various ancient military books to hone his wisdom, because he is deeply influenced, and he also likes to learn from the ancients and pretend to be a gentleman with a fan. "Big brother, it doesn''t really matter if it is true or not. Send someone to stare at it. Sooner or later, we should use the static brake. If the fire is not true, we should immediately send someone to seize the site." Zhou Jiangliu said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. "If they want to fight, let them fight with peace of mind. The more intense the fight, the better. We shouldn''t arouse their vigilance until then." "Ok!" A trace of satisfaction flashed in Wu Sihai''s eyes. He hummed, then he muttered for a moment, and then ordered in a deep voice: "You will gather people secretly, and at the same time send people to stare at the specific situation. When the time comes, you can dominate the Kowloon City District. This time!" Speaking of this, Wu Sihai''s heart is full of enthusiasm. As one of the eighteen districts of Hong Kong, Kowloon City District, if he can dominate the entire district, then he can definitely take a few steps closer in Xin Nghe''an, and his strength will also increase sharply. "understand!" "Ok!" After responding, the three immediately left and went to gather people. ... As all parties reacted one after another, the empty Argyle Street situation began to change. At the beginning, Liao Pengfei''s people continued to mess around with the Black Dragon Hall''s premises. Many people from Black Dragon Hall fled immediately after seeing that the situation was not good, and then they gathered with the large troops that kept gathering nearby. Soon, when the large troops of the Black Dragon Hall arrived, behind Liao Pengfei, Wang Hu and Xia Lei also arrived with the Tigers. Liao Pengfei also began to shrink when he saw it, and stopped messing up. At both ends of the street, each was carrying a large number of black men and horses, each holding its flag, and the war was about to start. "Wanghuo, what do you mean? Are you going to start a full-scale war with me?" Surrounded by Xiao Wu and Luo Gang, Ye Hailong stood at the forefront of the men in the Black Dragon Hall, looking at the opposite Wang Hu surrounded by Xia Lei and Liao Pengfei, shouting coldly. "Cyclops, is it a full-scale war? It depends on how you choose. If you want to go to war, go to war!" Wang Hu put his left hand in his pocket, his right finger flicked his cigarette holder to shake off the ashes, and smoke rings spewed out of his mouth, saying blankly. "Haha! When did Wanghuo start to play tricks?" Ye Hailong let out a mocking sneer. "Luo Gang, say, did you kill my brother?" At this moment, Liao Pengfei, who was crushed by Wang Hu, couldn''t help it anymore. He looked at the bald Luo Gang with blood red eyes and shouted angrily. As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately looked at Luo Gang subconsciously, and the hearts of many of the gangs who had been gathered because they were not aware of it flashed across. Seeing a pair of eyes looking at him, Luo Gang certainly couldn''t lose his prestige. Besides, at that time, some people knew that if he didn''t have the courage to admit it, would he still be confused? "That''s him looking for death. I knew that the **** was your brother. I should chop him off and feed the dog!" Luo Gang said with a grinning grin, the flesh on his face looked terrifying. "you wanna die!" Liao Pengfei shouted angrily, holding a knife to rush over, but was pulled by Wang Hu Unicom Xia Lei. The members of the Tiger guild who had been armed with knives were also forced to stop. "Big Bird Flies, wait a moment!" Wang Hu stopped saying with a cold face, but greeted Liao Pengfei''s roar: "Big brother, what are you waiting for? He killed my brother! I want him to pay for it!" Seeing that Liao Pengfei was crazy, Wang Hu didn''t say much, and gave Xia Lei a look, and Xia Lei and others stopped him tightly. "Cyclops, the matter is already clear, kill and pay the debts and pay the debts, hand over Luo Gang!" Wang Hu shouted coldly. Ye Hailong buttoned his ears, as if you were saying it again, he said with a sneer: "Wanghuo, are your brain flooded? Let me hand Luo Gang out? Big Niaofei''s brother did something that shouldn''t be done. , You have to pay the price, it''s evened early!" "If you want to go to war, come, if you didn''t consider Xin Ngian''s presence before, really I''m afraid you won''t make it?" Ye Hailong''s words were very skillful, not only did not undermine the prestige, but also took the opportunity to remind Wang Hu, don''t forget the existence of Xinyi''an. It¡¯s just that Wang Hu, as the leader of the Tigers, did not consider the existence of Xinyi''an? It''s just that from the current situation, there is no way to reconcile. You must do another fight. Just letting Ye Hailong hand over Luo Gang is just to talk about it. After all, unless Ye Hailong is stupid, he will hand over Luo Gang. . "Then there is nothing to say!" Wang Hu said coldly, waved his hand and shouted: "Do it!" As soon as Wang Hu''s order came out, Ye Hailong, who had been watching all the time, waved his hand, and Luo Gang and Xiao Wu immediately rushed out with their troops. Immediately, the two streams of people began to converge, and bursts of sharp weapon attacks and screams sounded in Argyle Street. Liao Pengfei, who was let go by Xia Lei and the others, locked his eyes on Luo Gang, the blood wolf, and opened and closed with a mountain knife. It was a desperate posture, extremely fierce, and no one dared to stand in front of him. Seeing Liao Pengfei rushing towards him, Luo Gang was also holding a steel rod, waiting in battle. Xia Lei, who had already received Xia Yu''s prompt, also consciously brought his troops to the side to fight this time, but did not rush into the center of the battle group. Argyle Street was in chaos. More than a thousand people were in chaos. The residents living on this street shivered. Some people who called the police even prayed for the police to be there. And some people in small organizations, although they really want to know the details of the battle between the two major forces, they dare not get together for fear that they will be hit by the fish. In the battle of thousands of people, it is impossible to tell the enemy from us at all, and I don''t know when outsiders come in. At this moment, several people approached Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei who were fighting unknowingly. "Protect the boss!" "Boss!" A person rushed out next to Wang Hu. UU reading was very agile. A knife slashed through the light and hit Wang Hu. Although someone was eager to warn him, it was too late. Although Wang Hu tried his best to back and avoid, his neck was still wiped, his eyes were full of disbelief. As for Liao Pengfei on the other side, when he slashed back Luo Gang, he just wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase him, but he saw Luo Gang showing a cruel smile. Just about to speak, he felt a pain in his back. A thought flashed in his mind. Man stabbed a knife from behind! "Brother Fei!" "Brother Fei was hit by the knife, save Brother Fei!" The brothers of the nearby Tiger Club shouted and charged towards Liao Pengfei. However, where did Luo Gang give up such a good opportunity, he immediately raised the steel rod to Liao Pengfei''s head. "Boom!" Chapter 476: Cover the sky with one hand "Brother Fei!" "Avenge the boss!" "Avenge Fei Ge!" Not long after the melee started, Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei were suddenly killed, and everyone didn''t expect it. Even Ye Hailong was dumbfounded. When did he have such fierce people? It''s good for Luo Gang to kill Liao Pengfei, with a certain winning percentage, but Wang Hu was also killed? You must know that he and Wang Hu have been fighting for ten or twenty years, and Wang Hu is still doing well, but he did not expect to be planted here! And it won''t get up again for a year! But now is not the time to think about this, because Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei were suddenly killed, the members of the Tiger Club were panicked at first, but under the roar of some people, the crowd was suddenly excited, and they came to the Black Dragon Hall with red eyes. The people in Heilongtang were unwilling to show weakness and quickly fought back. Ye Hailong suppressed the ecstasy and allowed his subordinates to expand their advantages as soon as possible to defeat the Tigers, and then stabilize the results before Xinyi''an reacted. We must seize this for a while and take a bite of the Tiger Club. If you can swallow the Tiger Club, it would be best. Then you will have the strength to compete with Xin Yi''an. But it can only be said that Ye Hailong thinks too much, and everything that happens is under the control of the net. The Tiger Club killed the boss and a big man, clearing the obstacles for Xia Lei. But the strength of Heilongtang must also be weakened. Therefore, just as the melee was still fighting, with the sound of two guns, the melee froze for an instant, and then exclaimed one after another: "There are guns, hide!" "Blood wolf!" "Long Ye!" "Fuck it!" Xiao Wu was the first to react and looked at the boss Ye Hailong subconsciously. He was holding his arm with a painful look. The bright red blood was stained red, and he was obviously shot! Looking at Luo Gang, he fell straight to the ground at this time, his eyes widened with unbelievable expressions, a bright red bullet hole on the shiny forehead, all red and white flowed out from it. "Boom boom!" Xiao Wu dropped his long sword, drew out two guns with both hands, fired a few shots at the Tiger Club, and then let someone cover the boss Ye Hailong to retreat. "Woohoo..." At this moment, there was a faint sound of a police siren in the distance, and the members of the society who were already in shock suddenly panicked. Some people even drilled directly into the aisle, preparing to run away first. And Xia Lei also yelled and retreated with the men of the Tigers. "Brothers withdraw!" The people in the Black Dragon Hall on the other side also had no intention of fighting again, dragging their companion''s body to retreat quickly. When a large group of police arrived, only a mess of sharp weapons and blood was left on the ground. ... However, it was said that on the Xinyi''an side, Wu Sihai and others were waiting in the sub-forum, and soon received a call from a subordinate who was observing the situation in Argyle Street. As soon as he was connected, Wu Sihai stood up in shock and blurted out: "What? Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei were killed on the spot?" "I know!" Wu Sihai is worthy of being a veteran. Knowing the truth that chances cannot be missed, he immediately hung up the phone and said to his powerful henchmen who stood up in shock, "Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei are dead, we can''t wait anymore. It''s time for us to play!" "go!" After Wu Sihai finished speaking, he didn''t wait for a few people to answer, and he took them out. He had to personally direct the battle. Only in this way could he be completely relieved. Just as he walked to the gate, there was a sudden "bang!" and a crisp sound of metal hitting the ground. Wu Sihai, who was about to step out of the gate, instantly petrified, and then immediately retreated behind the gate. Wu Sihai grabbed a round card by the door and threw it out. "boom!" "hiss¡­¡­" There was another gunshot, and the round card still in the air was torn apart. Wu Sihai took a breath of cold air. This marksmanship is amazing! Definitely a sharpshooter! "Boss, there is a sniper blocking the door!" Zhou Jiangliu''s heart was very uneasy, the frequency of fan instigation in his hand doubled, he said solemnly. Just as Zhou Jiangliu was talking, some of the surrounding gangs found a place to hide, and some wanted to rush over, but they were directly killed by one, which directly scared the courage of others. "A Kuan!" Seeing his capable subordinates headshot down at the door, He Wenzhong gritted his teeth, his veins violent, and he even dared not go out. "Go, let''s go to the back door!" After Wu Sihai finished speaking, he immediately led someone to the back door, but he just opened the back door and carefully protruded a foot before stepping on the ground. There was another "touch!" The sound of a bullet hitting the ground, and the bullet hit the wall next to the door and fell under Wu Sihai''s feet. Looking at the yellow-orange-orange bullet, Wu Sihai couldn''t help swallowing, and silently retracted his feet, panicking in his heart, but also feeling aggrieved. There was a sniper blocking the door at the front door, but there were also at the back door! "Which Taoist friend is it? Does Mr. Wu and you have any grudges?" Wu Sihai''s face was cold, and he suddenly shouted, looking through the gap to search for the direction of the shot he had just noticed. It is a pity that the person who snatched the net was not a fool, and did not respond to Wu Sihai''s temptation at all, which made Wu Sihai feel annoyed. "Boss, he doesn''t want us to go out!" Zhou Jiangliu narrowed his eyes and calmly analyzed. "With the sniper''s marksmanship, I shouldn''t have hit the bullet to the ground just now, but they did it twice, but they didn''t kill us, proving that they have no enemies with us." "It seems that there is something wrong with the conflict between the Tiger Club and the Black Dragon Hall. I said that King Tiger and Cyclops should not go into a full-scale war inexplicably. There is definitely someone behind them." Wu Sihai''s face was gloomy, and he slightly nodded in agreement with Zhou Jiangliu''s analysis. He can become the leader of the region, and naturally it is also a way of deep struggle. How can he not notice that it is wrong? "Forget it, let''s go back and give up this opportunity!" Wu Sihai took a deep breath and said coldly, then walked inside without looking back. Although Gao Feng and He Wenzhong were very unwilling in their hearts, they also knew that a sniper was blocking the door. Unless the sniper was killed, they would not want to go out. Moreover, since there are snipers blocking the door here, the black hand behind the scenes will definitely not want them to interfere with the Black Dragon Hall and the Tiger Club. Under the circumstances of the enemy''s secret, they will participate in it, the consequences are unpredictable, even Life is dangerous. They have not forgotten. They said on the phone just now that the Tigers¡¯ boss Wang Hu and high-level Liao Pengfei were killed. The black hand behind the scenes is absolutely lawless. If their Xin Ngong An destroys other people¡¯s plans, the black hand behind the scenes is definitely very likely. Kill them too. When it comes to your own safety, even if you are unwilling, you can only endure it. "Snapped!" Back in the lobby, Wu Sihai held his breath, took a sip of cold tea, and threw the cup directly on the ground. Aggrieved! Having been in the arena for decades, he was so embarrassed for the first time in his life, he was blocked by someone! Where is his face going? "I want to see, who on earth is such a big deal, calculating the three of us at once, really when there is no one in Kowloon City?" Wu Sihai said angrily, if he was found out he would never give up! Really he should be a shantang? Is it so easy to be bullied? This night, the sirens of the Kowloon City District were sounding, and a steady stream of police patrolled the surroundings, scaring all the associations to hide honestly. With such a big incident, the police absolutely have to show up their results to deal with them. These clubs don''t want to suffer for others! As for the members of the Tigers, after Xia Lei stood up, he was immediately gathered. His prestige was already high, coupled with the fact that he was very powerful. After Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei died, he was respected. Although some ambitious people were unwilling to do so, but in Xia Lei he died as the boss and the overall situation Under the great righteousness, everyone listened to Xia Lei''s orders honestly. Xia Lei, who had been prepared for a long time, methodically began to rectify the Tigers. As for the police? With Xia Yu''s guarantee, he is not worried at all! Chapter 477: Power of a prairie fire "How is the situation?" Looking at Ma Qianjun with an indifferent expression, Xia Yu asked softly. "The obstacles that the Tigers will stop Xia Lei are all cleared. Heilongtang''s strength is greatly damaged. Liu Hailong will be reserved for Xia Leiwei when the time comes. The police have arrested a group of people from the Heilongtang. As for Xinyi''an, they did not come out." Ma Qianjun explained the specific situation calmly. "The three pirated factories were all burned." "Good job!" After listening to Ma Qianjun''s account, Xia Yu smiled and said, feeling happy for the strength of the net. How long is this? Luo Wang completed a series of actions from layout to closing, and all the goals were achieved. Naturally, it is impossible for Xia Yu to move the crowd just to pirate the factory. This is just incidental. The most important thing is to clear the obstacles for Xia Lei and push Xia Lei to the top. This is what is most beneficial to him. Of course, I also take this opportunity to kill the chickens and wary monkeys, in order to avoid future troubles, so that when people in the community want to pirate his things in the future, they can weigh their own weight. As for regular merchants pirating his merchandise, it would be easier, Xia Yu moved his lips, and the power on the white road was enough to shut him down. Presumably, as long as the two things are linked together by a caring person, it will naturally lead to infinite guesses. This is exactly the effect Xia Yu needs! The plan is complete and I am in a great mood! It¡¯s time to start a single spark to form a prairie fire! Soon, Fengyun Daily published an article written by a professor at Xiangjiang Chinese University. The content was a scientific discussion of the benefits of Rubik''s Cube for children, and it also affirmed the name of Rubik''s Cube as an''educational toy''. As soon as this article was published, it immediately sparked a heated discussion, and many people paid attention. After all, if it is true, their children can also play Rubik''s Cube to exercise their thinking and intelligence. This is just the first wave of propaganda. Just when the public opinion was already in the air, the professor who wrote the article gave a lecture on Global TV and will answer the audience''s questions face to face. When this temporary program came out, the ratings turned out to be very high, which shows that Xiangjiang''s parents are really concerned about the growth of their children. Facts have proved that for consumers, the expert professor''s sign is indeed very useful, especially in 1978 when this trick was useless. Once this program was broadcast, the sales of Rubik''s Cube directly exploded. While happy that Ma Tengdong greatly admired the boss Xia Yu, he also speeded up production and launched more grades of Rubik''s Cube. He wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune and make the Rubik''s Cube thoroughly. Push it out! ... On Universal Television, Xia Yu looked at the planning plan of the Rubik''s Cube series contest provided by the planning department and nodded with satisfaction. This plan fully implements the spirit of his instructions and is a mature competition plan that can be put into production at any time. Xia Yu handed the plan to Huang Xizhao, who was aside, and said: "Xizhao, according to this plan, immediately began to organize manpower promotion and audition, and other companies will cooperate with you to promote the first Rubik''s Cube contest, and try our best to host it! You can broadcast it. The right is free to TV stations in other places. The first edition is not intended to make money from watching. This is something to consider for the second edition!" "Yes!" Huang Xizhao solemnly accepted the plan and nodded in response. "Go, it''s up to you!" ... "Afeng Afeng, good news, you are going to make a fortune!" When a young man accidentally saw the newspaper his father had put on the table, he was immediately attracted by the sensitive words on the headline. After reading the article, he was shocked and picked up the newspaper and ran to the good brother''s house next door. At this time, a young man with glasses and a pale face is watching TV, but the magic is that he still holds a third-order Rubik''s Cube in his hand, his fingers change rapidly, and the Rubik''s Cube is constantly recovering. But he was not looking at the Rubik''s Cube at all. This young man with glasses is actually blindfolded! "What''s wrong, Apo?" A Feng, the young man with glasses, turned his head to look at his friend who rushed in at the door, and asked in confusion. "Aren''t you very good at playing Rubik''s Cube, look, as long as you reach the top, you can earn 500,000 bonuses!" Young Apo said quickly, feeling very excited, and seemed to have confidence in the young Afeng with glasses, thinking that he was likely to receive a bonus. A Feng, the young man with glasses, was not calm at once, threw aside the Rubik''s Cube with all six sides restored, received the newspaper, and quickly read it. "Jiuding Toys Co., Ltd. cooperated with Universal Television to host the first World Rubik''s Cube Contest. The prize pool was 1 million Hong Kong dollars, of which the first place won a prize of 500,000 yuan, the second place was awarded 300,000 yuan, and the third place was 200,000 yuan. The specific entry rules are as follows..." After reading this news, the pale face of the young man with glasses turned red from excitement, and he clenched his fists excitedly and said: "I must sign up!" "Afeng, with your ability, it is no problem to win the first place, I support you!" The young man named Apo was equally excited and said excitedly. Afeng said modestly: "No, there is still a mountain high, there must be someone more powerful than me, this time I can finally fight against the master!" "Let''s go, let''s register first, we must go through the audition first. Only the top three of each region will be selected for the audition results, so that we can get the tickets for the race! Only nine people from three regions in Xiangjiang can enter the race." After speaking, Ah Feng hurriedly moved towards the audition location in the Kowloon area where he was. When he arrived, the audition location was already crowded, and there were even many children among them. They all held the Rubik''s Cube in their hands. Many people in the queue couldn''t help but perform. Some people with insufficient strength were directly hit. But despite this, they are still reluctant to leave and want to witness the emergence of real masters. After all, these Rubik''s cube lovers have never come so together, how can they not seize this opportunity to have a good exchange! On the same day, Global TV also started the promotion of the event. People watched the passionate publicity video, coupled with the temptation of one million prize money, immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and the whole Xiangjiang talks about the Rubik''s Cube competition endlessly. Of course, the better publicity effect is the newspapers of Jiuding News Company. After all, Universal Television has not yet been starred, and it covers Hong Kong and Macau, while Jiuding¡¯s newspapers are all over Asia. Through newspapers, readers from other countries and regions also Know the news. The audition locations located in various places ushered in a surging crowd of participants. They did not expect to play a Rubik''s Cube to be so tall, look at the title, the first World Rubik''s Cube Competition! It was officially organized, and millions of bonuses were also given out, all showing the big hand of the organizer! If you have money, you still have the opportunity to be the number one in the world. How can you miss this kind of fame and fortune? Soon As the first episode of the reduced audition highlights was broadcast on Global TV, it caused a sensation, and the ratings reached 28 points! The TV stations of other countries that had been promoted by the employees of Universal TV, but were still hesitant to see such high ratings, can also get the right to broadcast for free, and immediately rushed to broadcast. As a result, the popularity of the first World Rubik''s Cube Competition is getting higher and higher, and with it, it is the blowout sales of Rubik''s Cube! The total sales in Asia directly surpassed two million! And some discerning people waved banknotes and found Ma Tengdong, wanting to sell Rubik''s Cube as an agent! These people are from Britain, from Germany, and from the United States! Everything is developing as Xia Yu calculated! The starting point of the Rubik''s Cube has been achieved. As long as the first World Rubik''s Cube Competition is successfully held, the Rubik''s Cube will be brought to the top! Chapter 478: Crisis under the prosperity ‡�~¢à~Ò»~Chinese web ¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö~¢¸~1z§ë.c¨°§Þ the fastest update~new~eight~Ò»ÖÐ~ÎÄ~Íø Just as the first World Rubik''s Cube Competition was held in full swing, Jiuding Newspaper Company finally made breakthrough progress after a long period of preparation. Fengyun Weekly is finally out! With experience in organizing Economic Weekly, this time I am familiar with organizing Fengyun Weekly. Although the types of news involved are different, the modes of management and operation are almost the same. In this case, the quality of the first issue of Fengyun Weekly was very high. After Xia Yu finished reading it, he felt relieved and let Yan Wenhan let go. The first issue of Fengyun Weekly also adopted a free marketing model. In the case of high quality products, this is a strategy of paying less and paying more. The tricks are not afraid of old age, they are not easy to use! Throughout the ages, there have been many examples of one trick that has been eaten all over the world! In the first issue, Fengyun Weekly gave out more than two million copies for free every week, and the distribution range is all over Asia. Wherever there are Chinese, there will be Fengyun Weekly''s traces. Fengyun Daily, with a sales volume of one million, made the bottom line. In addition, the first issue of Fengyun Weekly sent out more than two million copies. When the second issue was officially charged, the total sales reached 680,000 copies a week. Although the conversion rate is not as high as the original Economic Weekly, Yan Wenhan and Xia Yu are mentally prepared. After all, Economic Weekly is a magazine that can make people rich. Relatively speaking, Fengyun Weekly has higher political value and lower commercial value. However, this sales performance has satisfied Yan Wenhan and Xia Yu. Yan Wenhan is also more confident. While continuing to consolidate the sales of Fengyun Weekly, he will recruit people and continue to organize other magazines. ... "Brother, are all comic figures in your company?" On the way to the company, Xia Ming in the back seat asked expectantly. Yan Hong and Xia Xiaomei beside him also looked at Xia Yu, the co-pilot, looking forward to his answer. "There are many places to display, but more are related to creation. It''s almost there, you can go in and see for yourself." Xia Yu smiled and answered his brother''s question. This time, Xia Yu took his younger brothers and sisters to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to satisfy their curiosity. After a period of preparation, the four major comics on Zhiyin Manke have all been animated. The animation production department is divided into four groups, producing Dragon Ball, Douluo Dalu, One Piece and Pokemon respectively. Dragon Ball can cause a frenzy of ratings every time it is played, and the other three are not bad. According to Ma Tengdong''s report, after six episodes of each anime were made, they began to be broadcast on Universal Television. One Piece, Douluo Dalu, and Pokemon are scheduled to be played on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday for three nights, plus the Dragon Ball on Saturday, which is equivalent to two new anime episodes being played four days a week. No, after watching these three animations, Xia Ming and others were completely fascinated and aroused their infinite curiosity, so they begged Xia Yu to take them to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. "Here, get off!" Xia Yu took Sanxiao out of the car and walked into the company, and soon ran into Ma Tengdong who had received the news. "Hello, Chairman!" "How are you young master and miss!" "This is Manager Ma!" "Hello Manager Ma!" ... After the mutual greetings, Ma Tengdong arranged for a person to take the third elementary school to visit, and then accompanied Xia Yu to the office. He had important matters to report to the boss. "How is the situation these days?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and asked in a good mood. Ma Tengdong suddenly couldn''t help but smile and said: "Yes, animation has a great influence. The sales of friends in Hong Kong and Macau have tended to be stable, but after the three animations of One Piece were broadcast, sales increased by 15%. Around, even the investigation found that many people came to the store to look for the journals that had been sold before." ¡°Of course, it is the flagship chain stores around Manke¡¯s Home that are more influential. Daily sales in Hong Kong and Macau have doubled!¡± Speaking of the end, Ma Tengdong still feels agitated. Since Universal TV has not been starred, the programs broadcast by the TV station basically cover Xiangjiang, and at most it covers Omen. For places outside these two places, there is no way. Therefore, animation has no way to support Manke¡¯s Home chain stores in other regions. Fortunately, many TV stations have come to negotiate the introduction of Dragon Ball. At present, we have talked about a TV station in Indonesia and a TV station in Thailand. They are currently undergoing urgent translation and I believe they will be available to other TV stations to broadcast. At that time, the influence of Dragon Ball will explode, and it will lead to the sales of the peripheral products of the animation guest house. "Not bad!" Xia Yu said with appreciation that he was pleased with the development of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. "By the way, it has been serialized for several months now by Zhiyin Manke. Isn''t someone looking for the previous periodical? It''s time to publish a separate book." Xia Yu suggested. Generally, comics with great influence will have single-page books, which are more profitable than comic magazines. The comics are now serialized on Zhiyin Manke, and then made into a commercial booklet and sold again for money. Moreover, the commercial pamphlets can also be divided into grades, such as regular edition, hardcover edition, collector edition, etc., and the profit is higher than one. But for crazy two-dimensional enthusiasts, they are absolutely willing to pay for the original collection. Like in the previous life, the single-line Dragon Ball comics have sold more than 360 million copies worldwide. Even if one book sells for two yuan, it can sell for more than 700 million, not to mention that the price cannot be so low! "Good boss, I will arrange for someone to execute it right away." Ma Tengdong nodded immediately, looking forward to the sales volume of the booklet, which would create another source of financial resources for the company. ... The island nation of Tokyo¡¯s Chiyoda District, where the Aiga family is located, gathers the three core figures of the Aiga family. Aiga Ichiro: The core figure of the Aiga family, who now manages Shueisha. Aiga Kangping: The patriarch of the Aiga family, who now manages the Shogakukan. Aiga Suzutaro: A key figure in the Aiga family, who now manages Shiraisensha. That''s right, three of the five major comic publishing houses in the island country now belong to the Aiga family. That is to say, the Aiga family is the leader in today''s island country comics industry ! The three publishing houses belong to the Hitotsubashi Group, which is run by the Aiga family. The Hitotsubashi Group is also the largest publishing group in the island country, and its business is not limited to publishing comics. Hitotsubashi Group is mainly centered on two publishing houses, Shogakukan and Shueisha. The name comes from Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, where the headquarters of Shogakukan and Shueisha are located. Because the Shogakukan established by the Aiga family was mainly to publish learning magazines, the entertainment magazine department was separated into Shueisha. It was only later that Xiaoxuekan also participated in the entertainment and publishing business. Nowadays, the weekly magazine Sunday, a magazine with more than 2.8 million weekly sales in the island country, stands at the pinnacle of the comics industry. The same group also pursues a competitive strategy internally. Shueisha¡¯s weekly juvenile jump now sells about 2.5 million copies per week, ranking second among island comic magazines. As for the other Baiquansha, although it is also one of the five largest publishing houses, it mainly publishes girl comics, so the sales of its comic magazines are not very high, and its competitiveness in Shueisha and Xiaoxiaoguan is not strong. In addition to the Hitotsubashi Group, the island country manga industry barely has the ability to fight against it is the Otowa Group led by Kodansha. It''s just that Kodansha''s manga field is in a downturn. The weekly sales of its flagship weekly juvenile magazine now barely maintain at two million copies, which is much lower than Xiaoxiaokan and Shueisha. "Ichiro, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has already rejected our acquisition. Now it''s aggressive, we can''t just wait and see! We must show them some color, the island country is our territory!" ps: The new week is here, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation!

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 479: Sinister little devil "Yes, I specially asked people to study the development of "Zhiyin Manke". The threat of this comic magazine is too great. According to the authoritative ranking statistics of the Comic Association, the weekly circulation of "Zhiyin Manke" has been It reached 920,000 copies, surpassing the "Great Voyage" of the New Library, and ranked ninth." The president of Shueisha, Ai Kaichiro said seriously. The authoritative rankings mentioned by Ichiro Aiga are very accurate. They are compiled by the Island Manga Association and updated weekly. Yesterday he saw the ranking submitted by his subordinates. Shueisha''s core manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" ranked second. The top ten rankings in the latest issue are: First: "Weekly Youth SUNDAY", with a weekly circulation of 2.82 million copies, affiliated to the Primary School, serializing the now popular island country "Fu Xing Boy". Second: "Weekly Juvenile JUMP", with a weekly circulation of 254 copies, affiliated to Shueisha. Third: "Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE", with a weekly circulation of 2.03 million copies, under the Kodansha. Fourth: "Weekly Manga", with a weekly circulation of 1.51 million copies, affiliated to Futaba, and has been serializing "Lupin the Third", an island nation-level comic. Fifth: "Flowers and Dreams", with a weekly circulation of 1.4 million copies, belonging to the Baiquan Society. Sixth: "Weekly Youth", with a weekly circulation of 1.2 million copies, belonging to Akita Bookstore. Seventh: "Weekly Comics", with a weekly circulation of 1.12 million copies, which is affiliated to Fangwenshe. Eighth: "Young King", with a weekly circulation of 1 million copies, belonging to the Youth Pictorial. Ninth: "Friends Manke", with a weekly circulation of 920,000 copies, belonging to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Tenth: "The Great Voyage", with a weekly circulation of 900,000 copies, under the New Library. These statistics are all statistics of the comic market in island countries, and no statistics are included outside the island countries. Not long ago, "Zhiyin Manke" for the first time squeezed out a comic magazine with a weekly circulation of 850,000 with a weekly circulation of 860,000, and rushed to the tenth place in the rankings, becoming very conspicuous and affecting instant qualitative changes. Because this is the first foreign manga ever to enter the top ten of the island country''s manga market. The original comic magnate finally paid attention to it thoroughly, and had to take off the **** of "Milk Manke". Unexpectedly, it didn''t take long for "Milk" to reach the ninth place, with a weekly circulation of 920,000 copies. According to this rapid growth rate, the circulation of "Zhiyin Manke" reached one million copies in a short time. Moreover, what the Aiga family pays more attention to is that market surveys found that the four comics of "Military Manke" are of particularly high quality, which has affected the reputation of their comic magazines. After all, the contrast is obvious. This is even not true for Aiga Ichiro and others. deny. How can the Aiga family, who are the overlords of the comics industry, ignore it? The best way is to take advantage of "Military Manke" is still weak, to buy it. It''s a pity that Jiuding Animation Company has not announced the sales of "Military Manke", so the Xianghe family did not know that "Military Manke" has sold more than one million in markets other than island countries. Ma Tengdong directly rejected it because the price was too low. Of course, the real reason is that "Zhiyin Manke" belongs to the core component of Xia Yu''s cultural strategy and cannot be sold at all. "If they don¡¯t sell, then they can only suppress it. It just so happens that I have made a manga similar to "Pokemon". After blocking them, as long as there is a period of time, they can take away the market that originally belonged to them. ." The president of Shiraisensha, Ruztaro, said in a cold voice. "Then suppress it and grab the market. It just so happens that I also let someone study a comic with a similar style based on "Dragon Ball", and it''s time to come out." Aiga Yasuhiro nodded slightly and said directly that he was not only the president of the Shogakukan, but also the president of Hitotsubashi Group and the patriarch of the Aiga family. After setting the tone, Aiga Kangping first came forward to contact the old opponent of the Otowa Group. After the statement was powerful, the Otowa Group immediately agreed to suppress "Mild Manke" together. Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group are the only two superpowers in the publishing market in the island country. Although comics contribute more than one-fifth of their profits, their publication volume only accounts for less than one-seventh of them. They are in humanities and social sciences. The publication volume in other fields is also very large, and it has a strong say in major bookstores. It can be said that they are the parents of major bookstores. "Zhiyin Manke" is just a comic magazine. It is spread to major bookstores. In fact, the sales volume will not account for much of the turnover, and the goods of the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group have gone. Therefore, in order not to offend Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group, both agreed to no longer sell "Military Manke". ... The island branch of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. sits on the ground in Chiyoda District, Tokyo. "President, it''s not good, something happened!" Wu Tengjun, the head of the distribution department of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Island Branch, was too in a hurry and came to Ma Tengdong with solemn expression. Ma Tengdong frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He patiently asked in a deep voice, "What''s wrong?" "President, a new issue of the magazine will be released the day after tomorrow, but so far, no dealer has placed an order with us!" "Then I searched for five distributors in a row, but did not see the presidents of each distributor. Others shied away from the above decision and temporarily stopped ordering our magazines. The specific reason is still under investigation!" Wu Tengjun lowered his head too deeply and said heavily, panicking in his heart, for fear of welcoming Ma Tengdong''s thunderous anger. After all, as the Minister of Distribution, he has an unshirkable responsibility for any problems with the distribution work for whatever reason. However, the imaginary thunder anger did not vent to him. He raised his head slightly and saw the president Ma Tengdong frowning in thought at this time. "They must have done it! Bastard!" Ma Tengdong was furious, and a black hand appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more certain he became. Yiqiao Group came to him one after another, just wanting to buy Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. without his own efforts. Of course, Ma Tengdong refused to and he could not be the master. Especially when facing his former boss, Ichiro Aiga, the president of Shueisha, Ma Tengdong did not give him a good look. At the beginning of the Shueisha, there were many members of the Xianghe family holding important positions. Ma Tengdong knew exactly what virtue and position the Xianghe family was. As a Chinese, there was no need to mention how many grievances he suffered in it. Ma Tengdong has to further determine whether it is the situation under conjecture. Shaking his head slightly, Ma Tengdong stretched his brows, picked up the phone and dialed a number. He was calling from a good friend of his who runs a bookstore. "Hey, Mr. Moriya, this is Ma Tengdong, it''s been a long time..." "I want to ask... Okay, I understand very well, and I will contact you when I have time!" After hanging up the phone, Ma Tengdong looked very ugly. He guessed part of it, and it turned out that the One Bridge Group made the insidious trick, and the situation was even worse. Not only the Yiqiao Group, but even the Otowa Group, its rival, also participated in the suppression. His friend only opened two bookstores, and his strength was very small. Facing the opinions of the two food and clothing parents, the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group, they naturally did not dare not listen. Ma Tengdong also expressed his understanding. Of course, maybe it was because I forgot to notify Ma Tengdong and felt guilty. Moriya also told Ma Tengdong that the latest issue of "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY", "Weekly Shonen JUMP" and other comic magazines appeared in styles similar to "Zhiyin Manke" "New comics from the top four comics. This is what makes Ma Tengdong most angry. The little devil is too sinister! It was completely bullying, relying on its own strength to domineeringly suppress their company, and then took out a similar style of comics, to **** away the market that originally belonged to "Military Manke". This method is too vicious! Shameless! Too much deception! Chapter 480: Coping strategy "Well, you go down first and try your best to publish the magazine. If the bookstore doesn''t work, go to the newsstand and don''t care if you lose money!" Ma Tengdong cleared up his mood, his face solemnly ordered Wu Tengjun too. "Understand!" Wu Tengjun bowed immediately, then slowly exited the office. When Mrs Wu Tengjun left, Ma Tengdong got up and walked around the office, frowning, thinking about the countermeasures. This conspiracy and trick of the One Bridge Group is too lethal! If this issue cannot be published, many readers will not be able to see it, but they cannot stop publishing. If the next few issues are like this, it will be considered as ready to be released, and the latest issue will be released. Many readers will not see the previous plot, which will have a great impact. If it has been released before the release, some readers have read it, and it will affect the release and promotion of the entire company. No matter how you choose, it will affect your popularity! Fortunately, there are still ten chain stores around Manke¡¯s Home in the island country. If readers cannot buy comics, they should find Manke¡¯s Home there. But after all, the ten shops are too few. They are mainly distributed in big cities. There are no other relatively small cities. Readers can''t buy them. Even if there are Mankezhijia stores in some big cities, readers may not know it. "It seems that there must be a distribution channel under its own control. It can only be the home of Manke. I wanted to double it before, but now it seems that it is not enough. I must run forward. It is almost the same to expand forty more at once." "But in this case, the cost is too high, and it must be supported by the boss." "Moreover, even if the boss agrees, forty stores can''t open in a short period of time. They can only solve long-term problems. After all, they can''t solve the current problems! Ma Tengdong muttered to himself, his brows still frowned, and he didn''t think of a solution. For a long time, he stretched his brows a little and thought: "The key is to let the major bookstores stand on our side. Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group can coerce the major bookstores not to sell our magazines, then we have to make them unable to refuse. , There is enough confidence and sufficient reason to resist the Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group." "If you can become a shareholder of those bookstores, then the current problems will be solved, and this is the fastest and most effective way!" After thinking of a way, Ma Tengdong was in a better mood, but after thinking about it, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I can only ask the boss for help and see what the boss says, or if there is a better way." It is not too late. After Ma Tengdong arranged the tasks of the island branch, he immediately flew to Xiangjiang by plane. ¡­¡­ Hong Kong Kowloon, Jiuding Building. Listening to Ma Tengdong''s narration, Xia Yu''s eyes are as deep as the stars, and I don''t know if he is listening. "...Boss, this is the situation!" Ma Tengdong finished speaking in one breath, his mouth was dry, he took a sip from his teacup, took a breath and looked at Xia Yu quietly, a little nervously waiting for the boss''s advice. Xia Yu nodded slightly, and said, "Your two methods are feasible. The expansion of Manke House from ten to fifty at one time will take a certain amount of time in the future, but I support you on this point. dry." "As for the investment in major bookstores you mentioned, it is also a practical way to solve the current crisis." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused and took a look at Ma Tengdong. While Ma Tengdong was waiting with his breath, Xia Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Also, I will support you!" "thank you boss!" Ma Tengdong smiled suddenly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily. "You are lucky. Gavin submitted a few applications to me the day before yesterday. Some of them involve island publishing and bookstores. If you two work together, the efficiency will be higher." Xia Yu said with a smile, then picked up the phone with Ma Tengdong¡¯s expectant gaze, and dialed the phone number in Gavin Peter¡¯s office: ¡°Gavin, come to my office now, and bring the acquisition of the publishing industry in the island country you made the day before yesterday. Plan." "Wait first, relax with a cup of tea, it will not be easy for you to come back non-stop." Xia Yu said and drank tea easily with Ma Tengdong. "Boss, here I am!" Because Jiuding Book Publishing Company has moved to Jiuding Building, after a while, Gavin Peter came upstairs. "Sit down!" After Gavin Peter sat down, Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong and Gavin Peter a few times before saying to Ma Tengdong, "Tengdong, you can tell Gavin about the situation." "Ok!" "Gavin, the thing is..." Ma Tengdong once again spoke in detail, and Xia Yu once again looked at the plan made by Gavin Peter. "Gavin, you understand, do you know my purpose for letting you come up?" Xia Yu put down the plan, took a sip of tea, and asked casually. Gavin Peter nodded and said, "I see." "I agree to your plan, but we need to adjust the order and give priority to the problems Ma Tengdong faces." Xia Yu said lightly, directly setting the tone. "You think about how to proceed, then talk to Ma Tengdong here, and execute it immediately after confirming." Gavin Peter nodded, bowed his head and thought for a long time, finally raised his head, nodded to Ma Tengdong, and then said: "The island country currently has more than 4,000 publishing houses. My original plan was to acquire a few of them to expand the publishing business, and at the same time To broaden the distribution channels, I also plan to invest in chain bookstores." Hearing this, Ma Tengdong''s eyes lit up, and he felt like a lifebuoy was thrown into the water. In his expectation, he heard Gavin Peter continue to narrate. "I found two chain bookstores, Kinokuniya Bookstore and Junkudo Bookstore." "Ki Kuniya Bookstore was established in 1927. It is currently the largest chain bookstore in the island country. It has 46 branches and a large branch area. It currently has assets of about 300 million Hong Kong dollars and has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange." "The Chunjiutang Bookstore was established in 1963. It is also a large bookstore in the island country. It has 35 branches. The current assets are between 120 and 150 million Hong Kong dollars. It has not yet been listed For these two bookstores, my The plan is to acquire 10% of the equity. At present, the investigation of the equity structure of the two bookstores has been completed. As long as the funds are in place, the acquisition can be carried out at any time." After speaking, Gavin Peter looked at Xia Yu quietly. "Tengdong, if these two chain bookstores support you, do you think the crisis can be resolved?" Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong and asked. Ma Tengdong nodded excitedly and said: "It is certainly possible. The total number of stores in these two bookstores is 81 stores, plus our own stores, there are 91 stores, which is definitely enough to open up the situation. The conspiracy of the Yiqiao Group was directly solved. Other bookstores have excuses to sell our comics." Hearing this, Xia Yu was relieved and said to Gavin Peter: "Gavin, you go to Liu Tianci for a loan, immediately implement the acquisition plan, and complete the acquisition as soon as possible." "Yes!" Gavin Peter answered happily. "As for the store opening plan you mentioned, the funds needed are relatively large, then..." Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong, half-talking about it, making Ma Tengdong nervous. Chapter 481: The brothers gather (2 "It''s up to you to take the responsibility and find a bank loan in the island country." Hearing the boss''s answer, Ma Tengdong was taken aback. He didn''t know what attitude the boss had. Could it be that he beat himself? Compared with the treatment of Gavin Peter, Ma Tengdong thinks about bad things. Jiuding Publishing''s acquisition of the chain bookstore''s equity can be unconditionally supported by Jiuding Bank, but when it is his turn, he has to find a bank loan on his own, and also specifies that he should find a bank loan in an island country. There must be some meaning in this. Seeing Ma Tengdong¡¯s unwillingness, Xia Yu knew that he wanted to be crooked, and continued: ¡°But there is one thing you have to remember. You can only borrow US dollars to repay US dollars to complete the loan as soon as possible. The shop was rebuilt in an island country." "Go, you two hurry up!" After speaking, Xia Yu directly waved his hand as if he hadn''t seen Ma Tengdong''s expression that he wanted to ask questions. Ma Tengdong could only swallow the words back into his stomach, and left the office with Gavin Peter with great heart. When the two of them left, Li Qian came over and sat next to Xia Yu, and asked doubtfully: "Xia Yu, Manager Ma seems to have something to ask just now, why didn''t you let him ask?" Li Qian and Xia Yu get along day and night. Of course, I can see if Xia Yu did it intentionally. It seems that for so long, Xia Yu has always been patient to listen to reports and suggestions from his subordinates. This is the first time today that he doesn''t want to answer and rush people. Seeing the curious Li Qian, Xia Yu thought for a while, planning to open up Li Qian¡¯s thinking, and said: ¡°I know what he wants to ask, it¡¯s the memory of doubts about loans. I want to ask questions about opening a shop. He asked." "why?" Li Qian blinked Shu Lingling''s beautiful eyes and asked curiously. "Ma Tengdong''s abilities are still very strong, but some are too dependent on me. In addition, he has been running smoothly, and there are still shortcomings on his own side. This can be said to be the first major setback he has encountered." "He is able to stay in danger and think of two solutions. It''s fine, but I think he can do better." "Unfortunately, he didn''t. Instead, he thought of coming to me for help at the first time. There are some problems." "What I need most is a general who can be alone, not a puppet. Ma Tengdong has this potential. Now that a problem has been discovered, I, the boss, of course must temper him and let him grow in the right direction." "As a boss, you must not only know how to imperial, but also how to cultivate talents. This involves the foundation of a company''s longevity." "This time, I have made a decision on the key things. I can''t go wrong in the general direction. I don''t have to worry about stabbing Louzi and causing losses. As for the specific implementation, it is up to him." Xia Yu explained patiently. After speaking, he could see Li Qian sinking into thought. Xia Yu smiled, gently picked up the tea cup and drank, without disturbing Li Qian''s thinking. Xia Yu asked Ma Tengdong to find an island bank loan, but did not say how to do it. This really made Ma Tengdong think about it, and Xia Yu wanted to observe Ma Tengdong''s performance. The easiest way to get a loan can be to use the company¡¯s equity or assets as mortgage, which is the simplest and rude. You can also use the empty glove white wolf method, such as a part of the credit loan, and then use this part of the money to buy some shops, and then use the property rights of these shops to take the loan, and the loan money to buy the shop. Because mortgage loans are all seven to eight layers, the mortgage assets will continue to decrease until there is no way to borrow again. The second method is a bit more cumbersome, but it is similar to the empty glove white wolf, which shows the idea of ??using other people''s money to develop your own industry to a certain extent. In addition, there must be more loan methods, which requires Ma Tengdong to think about it himself. As the general manager of a company, he should know how to operate capital. As for letting Ma Tengdong find the Island Bank to borrow US dollars and repay the US dollars, Ma Tengdong does not know what is going on now, but he will be able to figure it out later, it will definitely leave a deep impression on him and stimulate his growth. Now Xia Yu is operating the foreign exchange market in the island country, and Ma Tengdong''s loan of US dollars to repay US dollars is also to make a difference in exchange rates. The island country¡¯s exchange rate for Japanese Yen against the U.S. dollar is now lower, and one U.S. dollar can be exchanged for about 240 yen, but when it returns later, the exchange rate may become 200 yen for one dollar or lower. In this way, it is also possible to make an exchange rate difference of 40 yen for one dollar. Regardless of whether the U.S. dollar depreciates or appreciates in the world, the purchasing power of the yen in the island cannot be changed in a short time. The more Ma Tengdong borrows, the more he earns. If nothing else, the bank''s interest will definitely be earned back, and the bank will suffer. So it is conceivable that which bank Ma Tengdong goes to will be unlucky. After that, Xia Yu stopped thinking and continued to get busy. ... At the beginning of the night, the noisy day of Xiangjiang River began to flourish at night. Under the neon lights and along the sidewalk, you can see people walking leisurely in twos and threes. Victoria Harbour is decorated with colorful lights, and the magnificent Peninsula Hotel is even more dazzling at night. At this moment, the three figures stopped and watched. It was Xia Yu, Xia Jun and Xia Lei. "A Lei, you are the host today, and Brother Jun and I will listen to your arrangements." Xia Yu retracted his gaze and said with a smile at Xia Lei, who was much more mature. "Yeah, Arley, it''s rare for you to treat me. I''ve been looking forward to it for a long time." Xia Jun also said cheerfully. Xia Lei grinned and didn''t see the fierce and ruthless look that the masters of the Tao saw. If someone from the Tiger Club saw his boss, he would definitely be dumbfounded. "Hey, I have booked a box, let''s go together." After that, Xia Lei still didn''t move, until Xia Yu and Xia Jun lifted their feet, he silently followed, but no matter how he walked, he was half behind Xia Yu. Xia Yu was aware of this detail, but he didn''t break it. He just sighed in his heart that the complicated community life really made Xia Lei grow a lot. You must know that Xia Lei never cared about these details before. Although Xia Yu didn''t need Xia Lei to do this, Xia Lei took the initiative to pay attention to the details in this regard, and Xia Yu couldn''t explain it. No matter what, Xia Lei is his brother in his mind, that''s enough! Soon, the three went to the box under the guidance of the waiter. What surprised Xia Yu was that Xia Lei had booked the luxurious viewing box on the top floor. Xia Yu had been here several times before. This box is the best box of the Peninsula Hotel. Through the curved floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire Victoria Harbour and enjoy the beautiful night view. It was the first time for Xia Jun to come to this kind of place. When he saw this kind of scenery, he didn''t take a seat, and he went straight to the French window to appreciate it, shaking his head with emotion from time to time. Xia Yu and Xia Lei also walked over silently, and the three of them naturally lined up in a row. "The scenery is really beautiful, but some people say that the most suitable place to see the night view of Victoria Harbour is the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel. The rumors are true." Xia Jun sighed with emotion. "Yeah, it''s really beautiful. It''s even more beautiful than we saw on the top of the mountain when we were young. It''s the first time I''ve come here. It''s my eyes open. Xia Lei nodded in agreement and said. After hearing the emotions of the two, Xia Yu smiled faintly, and did not speak. In fact, as long as he wants to, he can bring two brothers here, just as he had hoped on the top of the mountain, to the top of the Peninsula Hotel. But Xia Yu didn''t do this, because boarding the Peninsula Hotel was only a superficial purpose, and a deeper level was that all three of them became masters. If you haven''t reached this level, you won''t have a corresponding state of mind when you are here. Now, although Xia Jun is only a small leader of the Xiangjiang Police, he can be regarded as standing on top of some people. What is more prominent is Xia Lei, who has become the boss of the party and dominates the fate of others. Because of such strength and status, Xia Lei has the courage to entertain guests here. "A Lei, I haven''t congratulated you yet, you have become a big boss!" Xia Jun looked sideways at Xia Lei and said with a smile, with mixed feelings in his heart. Xia Lei smiled, and said freely, "I am a big boss, and the people in the gangs are not on the stage. If there is no A Yu, I will still be a rampant stunned boy." With that said, Xia Lei also looked at Xia Yu, his eyes full of gratitude. "A Lei, don''t belittle yourself. Although there are my reasons, it is more important to rely on yourself." "It is said that changes in the environment and status can easily change a person, Arley, you have changed too much in the past six months, and you have become a big boss." Xia Yu said in admiration, a little surprised at Xia Lei''s changes. But thinking about it will understand. When Xia Lei is just a thug when he is not in his position and not seeking politics, he naturally subconsciously ponders how to fight and how to fight. But when Xia Yu pushed him to the top, his goals and vision began to change. When there were more and more people under him, he would subconsciously gather people''s hearts and cultivate subordinates. As time goes by, Xia Lei''s mentality And the ability has undergone tremendous changes in subtle changes. Looking at Xia Lei at this time, although the corners of his mouth are still a little fluffy because of his age, what is strange is that his temperament and demeanor do not match his age, and his whole body exudes a majestic and steady temperament, a young and mature appearance. "Brother Jun, A Lei is now a boss, it''s up to you, and strive to be the first brother of the police as soon as possible." Xia Yu said with a smile to Xia Jun. Xia Jun suddenly smiled bitterly. If it were so easy, no matter where in the system, the unspoken rules of seniority existed. No matter how big the background is, they can''t make it to the sky. "Now this sheriff is A Yu, you got it for me. I will try my best in the future. Now because of A Yu''s face, Chief Superintendent Li Junxia takes good care of me. Even Deputy Director Han Yili remembers me. With them helping me, I will try my best to climb up!" Xia Jun said solemnly, and made a secret decision in his heart. No matter what you are embarrassed about in the future, you can use the aura that Xia Yu has given him to climb up hard and ascend to a high position as soon as possible, so that you can help Xia Yu, so as not to be worse than Xia Lei. . "Brother Jun, you can, I will support you, wait for you to reach the top, cover me!" Xia Lei lightly hammered Xia Jun''s arm and said with a smile. Xia Jun suddenly rolled his eyes and vomited: "Otherwise you still expect me to lead the team to catch you?" "Hey, that won''t work, I''m your brother!" Hearing what Xia Jun said, Xia Lei suddenly laughed. Seeing the two brothers, a policeman and a gangster, talking and laughing, Xia Yu suddenly felt very interesting, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart. If Xia Jun was pushed by him to the position of chief of police, Xia Lei was pushed to Xiangjiang by him. The location of the underground king, the picture makes you feel. Although it is very difficult to achieve, it is not impossible to achieve it. It depends on the human effort and it depends on the future! "Let''s serve it!" After watching the night scene for a while, Xia Yu suggested. Afterwards, the three of them went to the table and had tea and snacks. "By the way, Arley, how is the situation with the Tigers now? Have you been in control?" Throwing a candied date into his mouth, Xia Yu asked casually while chewing. Xia Lei showed a smile and said, "No problem, I was the third most powerful in the Tiger Club, and my prestige was not bad. After Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei died, there were still a few people who wanted to take the lead because of their qualifications and connections. According to what you said, the strong suppression has continued, the other two forces have been forcibly incorporated, and the initial control has now been completed." "All the personnel in the Tigers have been broken up and reorganized, and my confidants have been placed in various teams, and there is no more trouble." "That''s good!" Xia Yu said with confidence. In fact, Xia Yu had already reminded Ma Qianjun when he first made the plan, so Ma Qianjun considered Xia Lei''s takeover issue. Just before, according to the list provided by Xia Lei, the task was arranged. During the melee, the people in the net specially targeted some small heads of the Tigers and killed a small and medium boss, clearing a large part of the obstacles for Xia Lei~www. novelhall.com~ Otherwise, it would not be just those few people who want to be in position, Xia Lei don''t want to integrate forces so easily. "But after sitting in my current position, I realized the difficulty of managing a power." Xia Lei narrowed his smile and looked a little depressed, and sighed. "Is this still difficult?" Xia Jun, who was listening quietly, was very puzzled and asked subconsciously. "Yes, there are more than 800 people in the Tigers. The difficulty of management is not mentioned. Just to support them, the monthly expenses are very large." Xia Lei grabbed his straight short hair and said with some distress. This is indeed the case. Although under the guidance of Xia Yu, he pays great attention to recruiting talents, and there are not a few talents around him, but no matter how many talents, he cannot replace him in managing the entire society. Some things must be handled by him as the boss. According to the original situation, the Tigers will have a high income. After all, pornography, gambling and drugs are all profiteering industries. But the problem was that Xia Yu did not allow him to touch the poison. He also listened to Xia Yu. Originally, a small part of his own forces did not touch the poison. Fortunately, Xia Yu¡¯s financial support was available, so he lived very well and kept recruiting troops to grow stronger. . But before Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei were able to touch the poison, now the power is taken over by Xia Lei, this washing powder business will definitely be cut off, and then the income of the entire Tiger Club will definitely plummet. Already a big boss, Xia Lei is embarrassed to continue using Xia Yu''s money. This will make him very useless, and this is not a long-term solution, which is not conducive to the continued development of the entire force. Only the greater the power can help Xia Yu more in the future! Xia Lei''s thoughts were almost written on his face, Xia Yu was taken aback, but smiled instead. Xia Lei would think so, but on the contrary, he seemed to be more mature. This is a good thing! "Are, where does the Tigers'' income come from?" Chapter 482: Harvest Xia Lei thought for a while and said: "There are chicken shops, gambling stalls, bars, smuggling, lending, etc., and some paid tasks, and the following people will collect protection fees." Xia Yu nodded slightly. The businesses Xia Lei said were generally engaged in or operated by members of the community. Almost all of them were slugging the ball or directly breaking the law. Although it is making money, a lot of it is black money. If you want to bleach it, if you have trouble, you will lose a part. "A Lei, the society is an organization, but it must also have its own industry. It is not enough for you to manage these now!" "The best way is to have your own company, not only can you have regular income, but also leave yourself a way." Xia Yu said, thinking of the later generations of the island country Yamaguchi group, that is the model of the black organization, the organizational structure is very rigorous, not to mention, the most important thing is to make money, run enterprises in various industries, and have an annual income of 80 billion US dollars. ! A black organization has an exposed annual income of 80 billion U.S. dollars, which is scary to think about! "A Yu, I also know that I want to run some long-term stable companies. After you said that, I also thought about it, but I don''t know what to do!" Xia Lei scratched his hair in distress, and said annoyedly. "A Yu, you are the best at doing business. You can simply show A Lei a few ways to save him from headless flies." Xia Jun took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat and suggested. "Yes, Ayu, look at what industries are suitable for people like us." Xia Lei immediately nodded in agreement, looking at Xia Yu expectantly. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu smiled: "Then I will think about it." Xia Lei immediately nodded and waited quietly. Xia Yu rubbed his chin, his eyes were lost, thinking quickly, recalling the profitable gray industrial chain of future generations, and selecting the industries suitable for Xia Lei. Soon after seeing Xia Yu''s eyes lit up, Xia Lei''s whole body was shocked. When he was about to ask a question, he heard Xia Yu said with a smile: "A Lei, I thought of a few, you can remember." "The first one is the foot washing and massage city. It recruits pretty girls to train foot washing and massage skills, make them professional and characteristic, and divide them into several grades. They will face people from all walks of life and provide services according to their needs. Another point is to To ensure safety, the income should be substantial." "The second is to make movies. You spend money to invite people to shoot, and you specialize in making salty and wet movies and underworld movies. You can definitely make money, and it can also facilitate your money laundering." "The third is to invest in real estate. You can set up a real estate company and hire someone to take care of it. If you don¡¯t have enough strength, start small. As long as you get the land and you want to build, you can give the construction project to my company. You only need to be responsible. Selling a house on that land, loan sharking will certainly not come in as quickly as this, and it is safe." "The last one is still smuggling. Wharf is my site. You can rest assured there." "A Yu, thank you very much, I will do what you say!" Xia Lei smiled and said gratefully that he had never doubted Xia Yu''s advice. Since Xia Yu thought it was feasible, then it must be possible to make money, but how much he can make will be seen later. "Also, Arley, the most important thing for an organization is to have a rigorous organizational structure and to be able to understand government orders. It is not simply that the more people, the better. If the command does not move, the internal factions will be different. No matter how many people are, it is useless. Go and study the United States Hongmen and the island country mountain pass group." Xia Yu looked serious and suggested again. "Okay, I''ll think about it when I go back!" Xia Lei nodded heavily and promised. After that, just as the food was gradually served, the three brothers changed a relaxed topic and continued to chat. ... In the next few days, the first World Rubik''s Cube Competition is still being held in full swing. With the broadcasting of multinational TV stations, the influence of the first World Rubik''s Cube Competition is getting bigger and bigger, which greatly stimulates the sales of Rubik''s Cube. , At the same time, many Rubik''s Cube masters have emerged everywhere, including adults in their 30s and 40s, and genius teenagers under 10 years old. After the audition, they entered the main race, and then after the competition of various schedules, half of the finalists were teenagers, which really surprised the audience. Until the end, when a young man from a slum defeated all masters on the podium, holding the 500,000 cash prize that belonged to the champion, public opinion exploded again. Another genius grassroots teenager changed his destiny by virtue of his own ability, and the opportunity also comes from Global TV! In his award speeches and interviews, the talented teenager constantly mentioned the changes and improvements in his thinking after playing Rubik''s Cube. The second and third place also affirmed the influence of Rubik''s Cube on itself. How could it be possible to let go of such good promotional materials? Of course, Universal Television and Jiuding Newspaper Company promoted it vigorously. After a series of publicity such as scientific identification by experts and personal recognition by the beneficiaries, Rubik''s Cube has completely secured its reputation as a "educational toy", sales have ushered in a big explosion, the inventory of the toy factory is almost completely emptied, and the production lines are all three shifts. Up and running. Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has gained a lot, and Universal Television has also gained a lot. The highest ratings in the finals were 36.6%! It''s another show that has reached the top level! Although this competition is held once a year, Huang Xizhao is also content. This kind of thing is the foundation and can be used every year, which has a good addition to the reputation of the TV station! The popularity of ratings has brought about a skyrocketing advertising revenue. From the audition to the end of the final, it took ten days advertising revenue reached 15 million, which is definitely a bumper harvest! With such a high advertising revenue, the credit can be counted on the boss Xia Yu. Because Xia Yu proposed many advertising models that have not been seen before, such as implanting advertisements in the program, props advertisements, title advertisements that the host of background advertisements read from time to time, a series of sponsor advertisements, etc., advertising methods are no longer limited to Interstitial commercials for mid-program transitions. There are many kinds of advertisements, not only Huang Xizhao, but also the advertisers are dumbfounded. At first, they were not confident, but after seeing the effect, they waved money and rushed to Universal TV. If the advertisement is only broadcast by Universal Television, then despite the high ratings, the advertising revenue will not be so high. The most important reason is because the program is broadcast to all major TV stations in Southeast Asia, and the influence of the program is too large. These advertisements are embedded in each of the programs, there is no way to cut them off, the only way is to remove them by mosaics. However, because the broadcast rights are provided free of charge, Huang Xizhao put forward the only requirement, that is, not to code the internal advertising of the program. In this regard, the major TV stations also agreed. After all, the ratings of the show are good. They can take it for free, and they can also insert commercials at the beginning, halfway and end of the show, which can also make money. Before Universal Television was launched, this kind of cooperation was completely win-win. With the help of the coverage of other TV stations, Universal Television has expanded the scope of advertising indefinitely. Advertising costs have skyrocketed. It has also expanded the influence of the Rubik''s Cube. It has allowed other TV stations to help promote the Rubik''s Cube. It has also gained the friendship of major TV stations. Also took this opportunity to earn an advertising fee. Regardless of the calculation, it is Universal Television and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. who have made a lot of money! Chapter 483: Hot opening On November 11th, it is a well-known Singles'' Day in later generations. In today''s Xiangjiang, although there is no singles day, it is also a significant day for all employees of the 7-11 retail company. Because today is the day when the 7-11 chain of convenience stores reopened! For its major companies, Xia Yu prepared a full two months to integrate and split. The retail business that originally belonged to the Dairy Company was split and separated into four major companies, namely the 7-11 retail company that only operates the 7-11 chain of convenience stores, Wellcome Supermarket Co., Ltd., Wanning Pharmacy Co., Ltd. and IKEA. Private limited company. Because the business is single and the scale is not too large, it only took half a month to split up the four major retail companies and all belong to Jiuding Retail Group. In the rest of the time, Xia Yu carried out personnel rectification and expansion of the four major companies, and then held meetings one by one to set the development strategy and purpose of each major company. To say that the most troublesome development is the Wellcome supermarket. After all, each supermarket is very large and it is not so easy to open. The original two big three and five big Lilian supermarkets also need a lot of energy to rectify. . Instead, 7-11 retail companies are relatively easy to reorganize. Although the 7-11 retail company originally had 20 convenience stores, each of them is relatively small, no more than one hundred square meters in area. Normally, only one cashier and one shelfman are required. . With the addition of administrative, purchasing, transportation, warehousing and other personnel, the total number of employees in the 7-11 retail company was originally 125. However, after Xia Yu¡¯s meeting and deciding a strategy, General Manager Fu Kai followed Xia Yu¡¯s instructions to refine the company¡¯s rules and management system, expand the recruitment of talents, and start the reinstallation of the original 20 convenience stores and the new Kowloon area. Location and decoration of 10 convenience stores. Among them, there were originally 7 convenience stores in the Kowloon area, and 17 stores were renovated. According to the plan, they are distributed in the Kowloon City District, Yau Tsim Mong District, Kwun Tong District, Wong Tai Sin District and Sham Shui Wa District in Kowloon. Wait for five areas. According to Xia Yu, the foundation of the 7-11 convenience store must be established. There are many chain convenience stores and independent convenience stores in Xiangjiang. The advantages of 7-11 convenience stores will not be so great. It is better to sharpen the knife from the beginning and make the steps smaller to make the entire retail system and the most important The logistics operation system was run-in and re-optimized, and finally began to explode. How did the 7-11 of the previous life be able to defeat one after another and become the world''s No. 1 convenience retail company with more than 56,000 stores and able to operate in an orderly and efficient manner, relying on advanced logistics operations System to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize services. Therefore, the first step for 7-11 retail companies to expand is to become the king of convenience stores in the Kowloon area and to incubate the prototype of advanced logistics operations. Today, everything is finally ready, and the pre-opening promotion has been completed, and it is officially opened! Early in the morning, Xia Yu came to Tsim Sha Tsui in Yau Tsim Mong District. He was accompanied by Fu Kai, the general manager of 7-11 retail company. In Tsim Sha Tsui, there was originally a 7-11 store. Now this one is newly opened. It is located at the door of a community. The location is very good. There are several real estates around, and the passenger flow is large and fixed. Along the way, through Fu Kai''s introduction, there are a total of seven convenience stores in this area, plus the newly opened 7-11 stores, a total of eight. On a whim, Xia Yu walked through all seven convenience stores following Fu Kai''s instructions, and was completely relieved. Seven convenience stores, of which three are chain branches belonging to three different retail companies, the environment is relatively better, and the products are relatively complete, but in Xia Yu¡¯s view, they are not comparable to their own 7-11 convenience stores. As for The service attitude is even more so. The clerk looks lazy, completely in a messy attitude. The other four independent convenience stores are even worse, because they are mixed with living accommodation, the merchandise display is messy, the replenishment is not timely, some of the goods are expired, and the environment is also poor, and the price of the goods is high. Open this convenience store It''s also a mess. Soon, Xia Yu saw his 7-11 convenience store, store 2 in Tsim Sha Tsui, from a distance. Flower baskets were placed at the door, with a bright red arc arch, and the ground was covered with fragments of red firecrackers. There was a crowd at the door. Even if someone tried their best to maintain order, it still looked a little messy. Upon seeing this, Fu Kai gave his boss Xia Yu a little worried, but he was not upset when he saw Xia Yu''s mouth with a smile and nodded slightly. "Oh, yes, full of customers!" As he approached, through the transparent glass window, Xia Yu saw the crowds in the shop, almost all of them were uncles and aunts, carrying the baskets and kept putting the goods into his basket. No, it''s very euphemistic to say that it is actually robbing merchandise. It seems to seize the opportunity to buy all the supplies for a year. Seeing this scene, Xia Yu showed a smile. Fu Kai, who has been secretly observing Xia Yu¡¯s expression, immediately explained: "Boss, according to our opening event plan, there will be discounts for the first three days, 30% off on the first day, 20% off on the second day, and 10% off on the third day. , The original price will be restored on the fourth day." "Moreover, because our purchases are made with the Wellcome Supermarket, we have a large body, and the purchase volume is particularly large, which keeps the purchase price low. Therefore, even if there is no discount, the price of our goods is equivalent to other convenient but Floor 9-9.5, it is really good quality and low price!" "Very good. Convenience stores need to be convenient and beneficial to the people, so that they can capture the hearts of customers. Generally, people who go to convenience stores to buy things are mostly elderly people. Such people are very sensitive to the price of goods. Good quality and low price are the fundamental." "But the service can''t be left behind!" Xia Yu commented, and followed the flow of people into the convenience store. "welcome!" Two beautiful women wearing ribbons stood at the door with gentle and kind smiles, and they said something to every customer who entered the store, seeming tirelessly. As soon as I entered the store, I saw a cash register on the left and right. Two young and beautiful girls were proficiently calculating the collection and change of money. Although their foreheads were sweating a little, they had no time to wipe them, and they were busy with no distraction. , Did not notice that the chairman and general manager came. "Chairman, that is the store manager Li Juan, who is only 23 years old, but relies on rigor and carefulness to stand out in the evaluation As the store manager, the other is the shelf clerk, called Liu Xue. Act as a temporary cashier. The lady of etiquette outside was invited from the etiquette company." Seeing that Fu Kai was so precious about the store, Xia Yu couldn''t help but take a high look at him. He chose to visit Yau Tsim Mong District on a temporary basis. It is difficult for Fu Kai to prepare in advance. This shows that Fu Kai is very clear about the situation of each store. He can even name his subordinates. This shows that he does have a good attitude towards the company. Operate carefully. "This shop is very good!" After walking around, Xia Yu was very satisfied. The novel and convenient display method, the high-quality and low-cost products, and the customers who wanted to buy were all satisfied with Xia Yu. He nodded secretly from time to time, and went out happily. , Said to Fu Kai. Fu Kai smiled immediately and said quickly, "Thank you for the compliment, boss!" "This store seems to be able to exceed 60,000 today." Xia Yu looked at the crowded crowd again, thought about it, said with a smile. "I think it is possible. Combined with the location here, the company originally set the first day goal to guarantee a minimum of 50,000 and an impact of 80,000. I don''t know if the retail sales of 80,000 can be achieved." Fu Kaijie said, looking forward to it. Xia Yu nodded slightly and glanced at the convenience store diagonally across the road. At this time, the door was deserted and there were no customers. Xia Yu seemed to see the red eyes of the manager. "Let''s go, visit Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok again." Xia Yu retracted his gaze and said to Fu Kai. "Ok!" Fu Kai respectfully responded, and then ran to Xia Yu to drive the door, and then took the co-pilot and guided the driver to the shop in Yau Ma Tei. PS: In addition, I would like to ask you for monthly and recommended tickets. Don''t forget to vote. If you don''t vote, it will be wasted. (The word count is not up to standard, free) Chapter 484: catastrophe The reopening of the 7-11 convenience store was extremely successful. Xia Yu walked to the three stores in Yau Tsim Mong District, each of which was full of customers. As long as there are 7-11 convenience stores in the area, there is basically no business in the surrounding convenience stores. This shows that 7-11 convenience stores are beneficial to the public. Great attraction. After the statistics on the next day, Fu Kai excitedly reported the results to Xia Yu. Opened on the first day, 30 stores, the highest turnover reached 83,000 Hong Kong dollars, the lowest also reached 58,000 Hong Kong dollars, each of which reached the minimum planned turnover. And the cumulative total turnover of 30 stores reached 2.02 million Hong Kong dollars, and the average turnover of each store reached 67,300 Hong Kong dollars. The results are extremely brilliant! Of course, although the revenue is high, there is almost no profit. No way, a 30% discount on the first day will squeeze out all the profits, and the company will be able to keep at a loss. This is still relying on the cost advantage of 7-11 retail companies, not only the purchase cost is much lower, but also because the shops are directly bought, so in addition to water and electricity, there is no need to consider the rental cost of the store, and you can wait for the store to appreciate. If it''s another convenience store, if you actually sell it at 30% off, you will definitely lose your pants! Seeing the brilliant results, Xia Yu certainly did not hesitate to praise him. While praising Fu Kai, he also encouraged him to continue to work hard. Finally, Fu Kai left the office with high morale and continued to plunge into Xia Yu''s great cause. ... Shueisha Headquarters, President¡¯s Office, 2-5-10, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. "What are you talking about? "Military Manke" is normally sold in all bookstores?" Aiga Ichiro frowned, with a hint of anger in his words, and asked when he looked at the bowing subordinate in front of him. "President, this is indeed the case!" The subordinate replied with his head down. To confirm again, while Aiga Ichiro was annoyed, he was also very puzzled. They used Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group to coerce the major bookstores not to sell "Military Manke". At that time, all the bookstores agreed. How come they are going back now? And no bookstore has notified them! There is definitely a problem here! Aiga Ichiro felt a little uneasy, he took a deep breath to calm down, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. "Hey, Ishikawa-kun, I''m Aiga Ichiro from Shueisha..." ... In the office of the president of the Kinokuniya Bookstore headquarters, Takuto Ishikawa, the president in his fifties, answered the phone. Although his posture was a little low while speaking, he actually looked calm. "Mr. Xianghe, I have no choice. Our company has added a new shareholder and has a large number of shares. He directly enters the board of directors. Moreover, this director is from Xiangjiang. His request is to lift the ban on "Zhiyin Manke". Order, the board of directors has agreed that I am responsible for the board of directors." "..." Hearing that Aiga Ichiro finished hanging up the phone anxiously, Ishikawa Takuto smiled mockingly, and hung up the call. In fact, Ishikawa Takuto also had great opinions about the Hitotsubashi Group. It was just because of his face and strength. The drag bucket did not show up. Thinking of the new shareholders, Ishikawa Takuto''s expression became serious, and his heart became even more annoyed with Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group. Kinokuniya Bookstore was founded by his grandfather and successfully went public in his hands. Although the bookstore''s strength has grown stronger, the equity in their Ishikawa family has also been continuously diluted, until now only 28.9% of the equity. Originally, the equity structure of Kinokuniya Bookstore was very stable, and the stock price has been rising steadily. Who knew that there was an accident three days ago! The stock price of Kinokuniya Bookstore began to fluctuate, and some institutions bought stocks in large quantities on the market, and the momentum was fierce. At that time, Ishikawa Takuto also held a board meeting anxiously and sent people to investigate the situation. Who knows that the situation hasn''t been figured out yet, and a news came to their company on their own initiative. A company called Jiuding Book Publishing Company from Xiangjiang acquired a 10% stake from the market. With its stake, it will enter the board of directors. Although a little at a loss at first, since it is a foregone conclusion, Ishikawa Takuto also had to accept this fact and welcome new friends to join. But secretly, he did his best to investigate the details of Jiuding Book Publishing Company. But I didn''t know if I didn''t check it, and I was shocked when I checked it out. When the information was placed in front of Ishikawa Takuto, he was shocked, but also a worrisome. The information collected must have been exposed on the surface, and this alone made Ishikawa Takuto realize the tough background of the new director. Whether it is the sister company of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, the group company Jiuding Culture Media Group, or the even more prestigious Jiuding Financial Group, Ishikawa Tudou is shocked. Especially for Jiuding Financial Group, Ishikawa Takuto was even more frightened. After seeing Jiuding Securities Company''s deeds, he was very afraid that his family''s Kinokuniya Bookstore would also be targeted. Fortunately, when he was frightened, Gavin Peter talked with him once, saying that it was only to broaden the distribution system of Jiuding Book Publishing Company, and had no intention of acquiring the Kinokuniya Bookstore. This dispelled most of Ishikawa Takuto¡¯s concerns. . But he still had a trace of worry, so after Gavin Peter''s proposal to unlock the blockade of "Milk", he immediately agreed. Originally, he was forced to agree to the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group, otherwise he would have a scar on his mind and he would not be profitable. Although the profit of selling "Military Manke" is not much, but no matter how small the mosquito is, he will not dislike it. Now with Gavin Peter''s request, Ishikawa Takuto has also stepped down. Just like just now, Ichiro Aiga came to inquire on behalf of the Hitotsubashi Group, and he was able to say bluntly that even Ichiro Aiga couldn''t help him. What''s more, Ishikawa Takuto himself is unhappy. If it weren''t for the Hitotsubashi Group, the Kinokuniya Bookstore wouldn''t have an uncle, which made his life worrying nowBaga! " In the office of the president of Shueisha, Aiga Ichiro got a perfunctory answer again after making the fourth call. He hung up the phone heavily and shouted angrily. Then, he immediately sent people to inquire about the new shareholders of Kinokuniya Bookstore and Junkudo Bookstore. When I learned that the new shareholder was called Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Ichiro Aiga looked ugly to death, as disgusting as eating a fly. Unexpectedly, it was the helper invited by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and directly used the money to become the shareholder of the two top chain bookstores. The two top chain bookstores turned back. Their strategy of extinction was cut a big hole in an instant. Then they got the news too late, which caused other bookstores to lift the ban, and no one notified them. Only when the new issue of "Zhiyin Manke" was released today did his subordinates learn about the situation and report it to him. Now that there are two anti-spinners, Kinokuniya Bookstore and Junkudo Bookstore, Aiga Ichiro knows that it is impossible to contain "Zhiyin Manke" from the sales terminal. The best way now is for them to have similar homes. The comic style of the "Military Friend Manke" encircled and suppressed face to face. It''s just that it is difficult to determine what the outcome will be. "Let¡¯s explain this to others first!" Thinking of this, Aiga Ichiro made two phone calls and then went out. ... It is also Chiyoda District, Tokyo. At the location of the island branch of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Ma Tengdong shakes hands with an islander with a smile on his face. "Happy cooperation!" "Kun Sakurai can rest assured that our company will complete the dailyization of "Dragon Ball" as soon as possible and hand it over to your TV for screening." Ma Tengdong assuredly said. PS: The Thomas train has departed, hurry up and take other people¡¯s luggage, take other people¡¯s wives, buy tickets and get on the train! x Chapter 485: Step out of Xiangjiang again "Then look forward to good news from Mr. Ma!" Sakurai Yusuke, director of the procurement department of Nippon Television, said kindly. "Mr. Ma, it''s getting late, I''ll go back first, and look forward to seeing you next time!" "Sakurai-kun, let me see you off!" ... It wasn''t until Yusuke Sakurai left that Ma Tengdong returned to the office happily. Nippon Television, although the name includes the word Japan, is actually one of the five largest private television stations in the island country except the Japanese public television station controlled by the island government. "Dragon Ball" is very popular in Xiangjiang, and has already begun to sell to Southeast Asia. The "Dragon Ball" manga has a great influence in the island country. After learning that "Dragon Ball" has been animated, Yusuke Sakurai, the purchasing director of the Japanese TV station, was moved. It''s just that I have talked a few times before, and it has always been because of the price issue that we can''t agree on the price. This time, Ma Tengdong finally let go, and Sakurai Yusuke no longer procrastinates, and signed an agreement with Ma Tengdong to purchase the broadcasting rights. Ma Tengdong was willing to let go, but also because he was annoyed by Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group''s insults, and knew that he was facing the trouble of copycat comics competition, so he realized that he could not delay any longer, and must quickly use the influence of "Dragon Ball" animation to help "Zhiyin" The sales of "Manke" took off, and the influence of the four comics was rapidly expanded, and the market was eaten up! Fortunately, Yusuke Sakurai didn''t know the reason, otherwise the greedy little devil would definitely take the opportunity to lower the price. "Yotsubashi Group, Otowa Group, wait and see, don''t let you guys get down, I write my name upside down!" Ma Tengdong snorted, resentful. He was cheated and not said, and he was beaten by the boss. Of course, this anger could only be spread on them. "According to Fukuhara Kazuya''s feedback, the day after tomorrow should be able to sign a loan agreement with Sanhe Bank, and at the same time propose the payment, you must quickly plan the location and plan of the forty stores, and strive to open as soon as possible." After thinking about it, Ma Tengdong became busy with enthusiasm as if he had been beaten with blood. ... "Wang Qi, are everyone here?" At the entrance of Jiuding Building, Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi who had brought five or six people with him, and asked softly. "They are all here. The six of them will be responsible for the construction of the island country branch, and the others will be recruited in the island country." The energetic Wang Qi nodded and replied. "Then get in the car, the plane is about to take off." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then took Wang Qi and others into a few cars and headed to Kai Tak Airport. Xia Yu had planned this time to go to the island country. Galaxy Fund has been in the island country''s exchange rate market for more than a month, but Xia Yu has not yet taken a step in an island country. Now it is a critical period, he wants to go to the island country to understand the most real situation. It happened that Wang Qi realized that Jiuding Securities Company had completely stabilized in the island country. He wanted to forge ahead and set up a branch in the island country, so he went with Xia Yu. This time to the island country, Xia Yu took Li Qian, Li Wuming, and several security teams, a total of ten people. At the same time, the snare was also led by the second in command, "Rattlesnake" Ling Fei and his three brothers secretly followed, secretly protecting Xia Yu, but also responsible for setting up the snare branch in the island country. After going to the unfamiliar territory of the island country, Xia Yu naturally tried his best to ensure his own safety. Soon, the car arrived at Kai Tak Airport, and Xia Yu and other brigade members walked through the VIP channel and boarded the plane to the island country. It took about five hours in the air, and the plane flew to the island nation¡¯s Tokyo International Airport. After that, I went to the Hilton Hotel to settle down. After a busy schedule, I arrived at night. I didn¡¯t do anything at all and had a good rest. I''ll talk about everything tomorrow. Early the next morning, after eating breakfast, the group set off for Chiyoda, Tokyo. Chiyoda District is one of the 23 districts of Tokyo. It is the political and cultural center of the island nation. The island nation¡¯s parliament, the residence of the island nation¡¯s emperor, and the Supreme Court are all located here. The Chuo Ward, adjacent to Chiyoda District, is the economic and commercial center of the island country, where the central bank of the island country and the Dongjin Exchange are located. The central area is also Wang Qi''s goal. Only by setting up the branch office can we have the clearest picture of the economic context of our island country. However, before heading to Chuo City, Xia Yu has to go to Chiyoda City first, because the branch of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is located there. Originally, Ma Tengdong was here to meet him, but because Ma Tengdong reported that this morning, he was about to sign a loan agreement with a representative of Sanhe Bank. Time was inconvenient to change. Xia Yu directly asked Ma Tengdong to do the loan without having to come to meet him. Although Ma Tengdong did not come, he also sent a high-level company representative to greet him. "You will show the way, go to the company now!" After getting in the car, Xia Yu said to the branch employee sitting in the co-pilot. "Yes!" Going around all the way, Xia Yu observed the scene of Tokyo through the car window. I have to say that Tokyo is indeed the most prosperous city in the island country. There is no way that Xiangjiang can compare with Tokyo. Along the way, there are many high-rise buildings and a large number of cars on the street. It is a prosperous scene. "Chairman, here we are." I don''t know how long it took, and the subordinate''s voice made Xia Yu come back to his senses. With a soft hum, he opened the door of the car. After getting off the car, he saw the sign of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. at a glance. In addition to a signboard of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in pure Chinese, there is also a signboard with the letter "Jiuding ¥¢¥Ë¥á»áÉç"! Upon seeing this, Xia Yu smiled. Japanese is like this, deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Among Japanese vocabulary, Japanese accounted for 36.6%, while Chinese accounted for 53.6%. Therefore, it is normal to see Chinese everywhere on the streets of island countries. Who can let Japanese not be as broad and profound as Chinese? www.novelhall.com~ No matter how hard the islanders struggle, they cannot escape the shackles and influence of Chinese! ... "Mr. Fukuhara, thank you for your help!" Ma Tengdong sent Fukuhara Kazuya, deputy general manager of Sanhe Bank, to the door, shook hands with him again, and said with a smile on his face. "Mr. Ma, I should be grateful to your company for your support and recognition of our bank, and look forward to the next cooperation!" Fukuhara Kazuo, who was less than 30 years old, said with a kind smile on his confident and energetic face. "There must be a chance to cooperate again!" As soon as Ma Tengdong finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that there were many more cars at the door. He swept around at random, and suddenly his eyes narrowed because he saw the boss Xia Yu and his party just getting off the car. "Mr. Fukuhara, let''s get out of here, I have something to do!" Ma Tengdong apologized, and ran to Xia Yu quickly after speaking. The appearance of Ma Tengdong¡¯s loss made Fukuhara Kazuo very surprised. At the same time, a curiosity arose in his heart. He looked in the direction Ma Tengdong was running and found a group of more than a dozen people. The middle one was three men and one woman. The youngest man in the middle is headed. Fukuhara Kazuya contemplated his eyebrows, suddenly a guess flashed in his mind, staring at Xia Yu abruptly, and muttering to himself: "Is it him?" If you take a closer look, it looks a bit like the picture he saw in a few days. After confirming, Fukuhara Kazuya suddenly didn''t want to leave. He wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Xia Yu. After all, the more he learned about Xia Yu these days, the more curious he became. If you can understand something from Xia Yu, I believe it will be of great help for him to realize his ambition. Even if you can''t learn it, knowing Xia Yu will be of great benefit to him! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 486: 3 and the consortium Soon, Fukuhara and Kazuo saw Ma Tengdong and Xia Yu say a few words, and then led Xia Yu and others to come towards him, and he also walked over immediately. "Chairman, this is Mr. Kazuya Fukuhara, deputy manager of Sanwa Bank." "Mr. Fukuhara, this is our chairman, whose name is Xia Yu." Ma Tengdong introduced immediately. After Ma Tengdong introduced, Xia Yu and Fukuhara Kazuya shook hands and greeted each other. "Mr. Fukuhara, hello, nice to meet you!" "Mr. Xia, it''s an honor to meet you!" After a few greetings, Kazuo Fukuhara also exchanged business cards with Xia Yu, and then said goodbye in due course. After waving goodbye to Fukuhara Kazuya, Xia Yu carefully checked the business card in his hand and saw that it turned out to be Fukuhara Kazuya¡¯s personal business card. In addition to the position of deputy manager of Sanwa Bank, it also wrote the director of Ube Industries. When he was working, he stopped and thought for a while, and suddenly an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xia Yu thought of who this person was. Later, the chairman of Ube Kosan, a core figure of the Sanhe Consortium among the six major island consortia, and one of the deputy managers of the later Sanshui Club. But now, he is only in the growing stage. Although his rights are no longer small, he has not been on the highest right circle of the Sanhe Consortium. Speaking of this, I have to talk about the six major consortia of island countries. Among the six major consortia in the island country, the four major consortia of Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Fuji evolved from the old four chaebols. They all have a clear family dominated by the Iwasaki family, Mitsui family, Sumitomo family and Yasuda family. However, the Sanhe Consortium and the Quanyin Consortium are different. They are emerging from behind and belong to the patchwork consortium. The consortium is relatively loose, and its cohesion is not as strong as the old four consortiums, and its strength is worse. Among them, the comprehensive strength of the Sanhe Consortium is at the bottom of the six major consortiums in the island country. The consortium was formally established in 1967. Its members are mainly based in the island country Kansai and consist of 44 large companies. The financial and heavy industries are weak, and the only one can do it. The only bank in China is Sanhe Bank, which is also the core of the entire consortium. The 44 constituent companies are basically Sanhe Bank¡¯s linked customers. In addition, the Sanhe Consortium has a total of 136 associated companies with a shareholding ratio of more than 10%. The Sanhe Consortium has strong strengths in the steel manufacturing, communications, liquid gas, ceramics, and rubber industries. The manager of the Sanhe Consortium is the Sanshui Association. It meets on the third Wednesday of each month. The members of the Sanshui Association are the presidents of 44 founding large companies. The internal levels are divided into general manager, deputy general manager and general manager. member. As far as Xia Yu knows, Ube Industries is an important component of the Sanhe Consortium, and its importance and strength are among the top five within the Sanhe Consortium. The controlling family of Ube Industries is the Fukuhara family, the former ruler family of Ube City. The company is involved in chemicals, medicine, machinery, metal manufacturing, energy and other industries. It is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and is a component of the Nikkei 225 stock index. A monopolistic hegemony company in the island country monopolizes the economic lifeline of Ube City. Kazuya Fukuhara later became the leader of the Fukuhara family, succeeding Ube Kosan as the president, and at the same time became the deputy manager of the Sanshui Club as the president. And Sanshui will control the Sanhe consortium, which means that Kazuo Fukuhara will also become the core figure of the Sanhe consortium in the future. Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that according to Xia Yu''s memory, he learned a secret. Fukuhara and Kazuya were not at peace. They belonged to the kind of people with great ambitions but relatively insufficient ability. Kazunari Fukuhara¡¯s ability to dominate Ube Kosan is no problem, but he is determined to revive the glory of the Fukuhara family, following the Iwasaki family, Mitsui family, Yasuda family and other princes¡¯ families, and controlling the Sanwa Foundation without a clear owner. In the hands of the Fukuhara family. Fukuhara Kazuo is also the kind of person who uses all means to achieve this goal. In order to achieve this goal, he even dared to exchange the benefits of the consortium and use external forces. Knowing this, I had to make Xia Yu feel active. After all, the Sanhe consortium has the smallest strength and the loosest, and it has no clear control. This all shows that it is organic, and there are many people with this kind of thinking. As far as the Sanhe consortium is concerned, I believe it is definitely not only Fukuhara Kazuto''s mindset. There are so many opportunities for island nations in the future, and Xia Yu might be tempted. But this is all for the future. You can find opportunities to make detailed information about the Sanhe consortium, and then grow your own strength, you can always find opportunities. Withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Yu kept his thoughts in his heart and joined the company under the guidance of Ma Tengdong. Due to too many people, Ma Tengdong took everyone to the meeting room and arranged for someone to make tea. As soon as Xia Yu sat down, Ma Tengdong gave the signed loan contract to Xia Yu: "Chairman, look, this is a loan agreement signed by the company and Sanhe Bank." Xia Yu flipped through it casually and saw that the loan amount was 20 million U.S. dollars, which was enough to open forty Manke¡¯s Home stores, and it was the kind that bought with the store, and the remaining funds were definitely enough. Company development and expansion. Xia Yu threw the loan contract back to Ma Tengdong, and said lightly: "You put it away, and you decide how to use the funds. You can give me a financial statement later." This attitude of Xia Yu moved Ma Tengdong, but at the same time, his mood became more complicated. He could only secretly encourage Xia Yu to not disappoint the chairman. After drinking a cup of tea, Xia Yu felt bored while sitting, so he asked Ma Tengdong to visit the branch. Ma Tengdong immediately led Xia Yu to visit the branch office and kept explaining. "Chairman, the island branch currently has 105 employees and is still recruiting. Every employee is hired through personal interviews to ensure the company''s personnel capabilities and overall combat effectiveness." "The main task of the company at this stage is to make "Military Friend" daily, and to be responsible for the distribution of "Military Friend" in the island country. Another task now is to make "Dragon Ball" animation daily. Daily chemical and production of the other three animations." "The company walks on two legs of animation and manga, and will also set up internal training courses. In the future, employees of the Hong Kong head office will be sent here for professional training and enhance the overall strength of the head office." ... As Ma Tengdong continued to tell, Xia Yu nodded from time to time, and had a more intuitive impression of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Island Branch. After visiting the animation production studio, when he went out, Xia Yu thought of so many classic comics in his mind. Only then did he use four at the current speed, which may not be used yet. The original owner will create it, and the current speed is still too slow. He said to Ma Tengdong: "The overall situation is good, but there are not too few talents. Now our magazine still only has "Milk Manke", but the foundation of the four magazines of "Meng Huan Rui Ran" has been set. If there are enough staff , I will give you some themes. You can make those comics first. When the time comes, one magazine will be divided into four." Hearing this, Ma Tengdong was shocked and looked at Xia Yu suddenly. What he saw on the chairman''s face was indifferent and confident. Ma Tengdong was immediately ecstatic and nodded and said, "Chairman, I understand!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said lightly: "Don''t forget to dig out original talents internally, and strive to make several completely independent comics." These lukewarm words came to my ears, and Ma Tengdong was awakened from joy and solemnly nodded: "Chairman, the company has already incubated comics, and several relatively satisfactory themes have appeared, but in order to ensure With the reputation of Manke, the company is already planning to establish another comic magazine as a lower-level magazine of Manke. Only after it stands out there, it will be promoted to be serialized on Manke." "Well, this way is good." Xia Yu smiled slightly and praised him slightly. Later, after Xia Yu rested for a while, let Ma Tengdong continue to work, while Wang Qi and others went to the Central District to start work. As for Xia Yu, he planned to take Li Qian out for a good stroll, and came to the famous manga sacred place in Chiyoda District, next to the world-famous Akihabara, Xia Yu naturally planned to walk, and see if he could find any business opportunities. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 487: The biggest gold mine in island animation Bringing Li Qian and others to Hitotsubashi & Kanda Sakuma Town, Xia Yu took Li Qian''s hand and strolled around casually. Seeing all kinds of colorful two-dimensional characters hanging on the buildings on both sides of the road, Li Qian''s eyes were colorful and she asked in surprise: "Xia Yu, there are cartoon characters everywhere here, even the buildings are painted in color, Xiangjiang I haven''t seen it before!" There was also a hint of surprise in Xia Yu''s eyes. He had never seen anything like this in his previous life, or a place similar to the decoration here. There are huge billboards on the surrounding buildings and there are two-dimensional characters on them. This kind of thing may happen in the island country. Up. In the later generations of China, he has never heard of such decorations. Even the most animated and animated cities and Yangcheng, there is no such street. "Let''s go, let''s just stroll around, there are too many bookstores, comic shops and toy shops here, it is worthy of the gathering place for comic publishing houses." Scanning casually, Xia Yu saw the signs of several comic publishing houses, of course, the signboards of bookstores and comics shops were the most common. Through the glass windows, I could see that there were various comic magazines and dolls inside, many of which were covered with saints. Light comics. "Hmm!" Li Qian tapped Zhenshou, then pulled Xia Yu into a shop. "Wow, Xia Yu, this doll is so cute, and so is this..." When I entered a shop, it happened to be a girlish shop. I saw the very cute dolls. Li Qian''s girly heart was bursting, and her interest increased. She kept watching and whispered in Xia Yu''s ear from time to time. Li Qian''s performance made Xia Yu smile. Sure enough, girls generally have low resistance to dolls and cute things. Li Qian is no exception, even though her room has many super cute cartoon dolls such as Pikachu and Nine Tails. Since Li Qian likes it, there is no need to say more about it, all of which can be bought without spending a few dollars, but it can make beautiful women happy and worth it! As a result, the trunks of the several cars that Xia Yu drove were constantly being filled, and Li Qian stopped sweeping the goods unconsciously. "Xia Yu, you are so kind, love you so much!" "I love you too." ... Walking around, Xia Yu also saw the company''s location of Shueisha and the headquarters of the Xiaoxuekan diagonally across from Shueisha. He took a few more glances and left him behind. There are only two publishing houses, even if their parent company Yiqiao Group, their assets are not as good as his. Their opponents are Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Book Publishing Company. Before I knew it, I walked to the end of a street, probably because the location was not good and the surroundings were relatively deserted. Seeing Li Qian''s face showing a trace of fatigue, Xia Yu had been shopping enough, planning to find a coffee shop to rest first. It was just that when he turned around, his gaze swept over a model in the house next to him, and the turning motion suddenly stopped. His gaze condensed and he carefully observed the model. "This is a robot Gundam model?" "Not very similar, but somewhat similar, I vaguely remember that Gundam was produced by a company called Rishengsha." Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked at the sign that he had overlooked before. As expected, "SUNRISE" was clearly written on the sign, which translates to Rishengshe! ¡­¡­I didn¡¯t finish writing, and only wrote a half chapter. In order not to lose full attendance, I had to change it first. Quickly go to code the remaining half chapter and change it back in 40 minutes at most. If you have already subscribed, you can refresh it, no Will be charged repeatedly, trouble everyone! "The main task of the company at this stage is to make "Military Friend" daily, and to be responsible for the distribution of "Military Friend" in the island country.

He said to Ma Tengdong: "The overall situation is good, but there are not too few talents. Now our magazine still only has "Milk Manke", but the foundation of the four magazines of "Meng Huan Rui Ran" has been set. If there are enough staff , I will give you some themes.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 488: Floating profit of more than 300 million US dollars Ma Tengdong was a little dumbfounded when he saw Chairman Xia Yu''s reaction. He didn''t say anything. It was almost all the bad status of Risheng Society. Xia Yu saw Ma Tengdong''s doubts in his eyes, but he did not explain. After all, this matter is not easy to explain. Could he still say that in the future, rising society will become rich with Robot Warrior Gundam? So the best way is not to explain, let Ma Tengdong think about it, increase his mystery and prestige. Therefore, Xia Yu directly commanded: "Tengdong, give you a task to send someone to find out the assets of Risheng Society as soon as possible, and then acquire Risheng Society. The higher the price is acceptable, as long as it can be acquired!" Ma Tengdong was stunned, and immediately said happily: "Good chairman!" In his opinion, this is the chairman of the board of directors giving him strength. Although the current development situation of Rishengsha is not good, it is undeniable that there are a lot of animation production talents in Rishengsha. "Trained, the ability will never be bad, and joining Jiuding Animation Company will definitely be the mainstay. What''s more, Rishengsha has been professionally producing cartoons for six years after all, and the talent is absolutely complete. The acquisition can play a strong complementary role to Jiuding Animation Company. The chairman also gave a loose bottom line, and the difficulty of acquisition was much reduced. How can this not make him happy? Therefore, Ma Tengdong has made up his mind that he must seize this opportunity and acquire Risheng. Later, Xia Yu left and took Li Qian and others to the central district of Tokyo. Of course, he did not go to Wang Qi and others, but to the temporary station of the Galaxy Fund in Tokyo. ... Because the four teams of the Galaxy Fund are making every effort to enter the foreign exchange market of the island country, in addition to leaving some staff responsible for collecting information on the international crude oil and London gold markets, Liu Xiao and other eight team leaders brought people to Tokyo. When Xia Yu arrived at the place, he was greeted warmly by Liu Xiao and others. Without much greetings, Xia Yu went directly to the subject, understanding the financial market situation of the island country and the actual work progress of Liu Xiao and others. The current Tokyo foreign exchange market has not become a truly international financial market like the London and New York foreign exchange markets, but a regional foreign exchange market. This is because the island country is a country with a large proportion of export trade in the national economy, and foreign exchange fluctuations have a huge impact on the entire national economy. If foreign exchange is in short supply, it will cause the foreign exchange rate to rise, the yen exchange rate to fall, and domestic prices follow The danger of rising. In order to prevent exchange rate fluctuations, island governments have to take certain measures to intervene in the market. This is the balance management in the foreign exchange market of island countries. Due to various restrictions and market capacity reasons, the Tokyo foreign exchange market has relatively simple trading varieties, mainly USD/JPY and EUR/JPY. Although there is a single category, it happens to have the USD/JPY variety that Xia Yu needs, and it is still the largest transaction at present. Because the island country¡¯s exports are settled in USD, the USD/JPY transaction has reached more than 90%. "Chairman, because of the problem of his own amount, in order to obtain as much capital as possible, now our No. 1 Fund has found four foreign exchange banks and used leverage ranging from 40 to 50 times. As of October 15, All entered the market, and the latest dollar and yen index is currently 226.856, with a floating profit of 134 million US dollars." Liu Xiao, the group leader, replied first, despite his calm and calm personality, he couldn''t help being excited when it came to this number. Xia Yu heard this, although he expected it, but he also showed a smile. He even regretted that he only used 40 to 50 times the leverage. If he used one hundred or two hundred times, it would be really cool! But just think about it. The use of high leverage requires consideration of various factors, such as whether the market can accommodate it, whether the foreign exchange bank can withstand it, and whether the amount of funds can escape is too large. Liu Xiao should have taken these into consideration before spreading 200 million Hong Kong dollars to the four banks, and the financial leverage is not fixed. In fact, the foreign exchange market is very different from the stock market. The stock market uses a leverage of ten times that is very high. If you want to use a leverage of a hundred times, it is as difficult as the sky and the risk is too great. Almost no banks dare to give it, especially when huge amounts of funds are involved. After all, as long as the stock market fluctuates by 1%, investors will lose their money. Even if the bank''s regulatory line is touched, it will be too late to force liquidation, and the bank will be miserable. However, the foreign exchange market is different. In many cases, it fluctuates to the third decimal place, and high leverage must be used to amplify the income so that the income can be eye-catching. The financial leverage of the foreign exchange market ranges from 20 times to 800 times. If it is the Internet era in the future, data fluctuations are easy to monitor, and the technical processing speed is faster. Many market makers dare to provide leverage of 100 to 500 times, and foreign exchange speculators dare to use it. . But now this era is different. Generally, the default leverage is below 100 times, and for unfamiliar customers even below 50 times. If uukanshu.com involves a large amount of funds, there will be different adjustments. After all, foreign exchange banks and institutions dare to provide such high financial leverage because the foreign exchange market is too big. Just like in later generations, the daily trading volume of the global securities market is about 300 billion US dollars, and the daily foreign exchange trading volume is nearly 6 trillion US dollars. Even though the Tokyo foreign exchange market is still only a regional market, it is also the largest foreign exchange market in Asia. After Liu Xiao''s report, No. 2 Fund Manager Xue He said in an interface: "Chairman, No. 2 Fund also found four foreign exchange banks and used leverage ranging from 40 to 50 times. The current floating profit is USD 98.3 million. " "Chairman, our No. 3 Fund..." "Chairman, our No. 4 Fund..." Subsequently, No. 3 fund manager Song Yang and No. 4 fund manager Li De respectively made simple reports. After thinking about it in Xia Yu''s mind, the total floating profit of the four funds of the Galaxy Fund has reached 374 million US dollars. Finance really deserves to be an explosive industry! Of course, the most important thing is that Xia Yu knows the rare opportunity that has occurred in the foreign exchange market of the island country in the past few decades. If according to the normal period, under the premise of preserving the capital, it would be particularly awesome to earn 10 to 20 million US dollars in the same time! It''s like now, purely picking up money! If you stop the operation now, exchange Japanese yen into US dollars and leave the market, you will get 374 million US dollars. Considering that although the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar is fixed, Xia Yu can completely avoid the negative impact of the fluctuation of the US dollar and replace it with Hong Kong dollars to enhance his strength in Hong Kong. But whether to change or not at that time, we still need to look at the actual situation. After listening to the report, Xia Yu encouraged everyone, and then, accompanied by Liu Xiao, quickly understood the situation of the island country''s financial industry. Chapter 489: Rise up to fight back Of course, leaving aside risks, although the foreign exchange market makes money faster than the stock market, it is only money. If you want to put influence and control on the ground, from virtual to real, you must turn money into various companies. At this time, it must pass the stock market! Under normal circumstances, large companies are all listed, and those that are not listed are almost small companies. Xia Yu is very interested. Except for small companies that have not yet developed and have potential, such as Risheng News, the others are large companies. . Therefore, it is necessary to use the stock market to acquire shares of interested companies and complete the process of converting money into companies. Of course, there are special cases in the world. For example, in a perverted country like Germany, by 2018, there are less than 800 listed companies in the entire country, less than one-tenth of the United States, and not as good as a quarter of the island countries. One, it is hard to imagine that it will be one of the two poles of the EU. Not much gossip, after Xia Yu stayed at the Galaxy Fund for a day, he joined Wang Qi and others. After that, Xia Yu soaked in the Tokyo Stock Exchange almost every day, eagerly learning about the situation of the Tokyo financial market in this era, so that the relevant memories in his mind continued to recover and deepen. ... At the Shogakukan headquarters, Aiga Kangping called the person in charge of the information room to his office to learn about the market survey of new comics in "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY". After studying the four comics of "Milk Manke", the Xiaoyin Academy first launched a comic with a style similar to "Dragon Ball". Of course, in order to take into account the face, the reference is not explicit. The name of the manga is "Shen Ling". The main line is the story of a young man constantly fighting on the road of martial arts. At the same time, the biggest feature of the manga is that there is a **** of wish in the world. There are nine different colors of Shen Ling scattered in the world. Putting together Seshen Ling, can summon the **** of desire and realize any wish. "President, in all 500 random surveys, readers said that 68% of "Shenling" are expected, 20% said they are waiting to be seen, and 12% said they have no feelings." The person in charge of the information room replied with his head down, and at the same time presented statistics with both hands. Aiga Kangping''s brows loosened, and he looked at the data, and his bad mood became happy because of the scheme being cracked by Ma Tengdong. It¡¯s only the first issue, and only one episode has been serialized. The plot has not yet started, and it has received such high praise, and only 12% of the negative reviews accounted for only 12%, which shows that this "Shen Ling" comic has enough potential. . I just don¡¯t know what the situation of Shueisha and Baiquansha is. If the situation is good, then with the influence of the three major comic magazines, the potential and threat of "Military Manke" can be reduced. "Well, you go down!" After sending his subordinates away, Aiga Yasuhei contacted Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Suzutaro one after another, and the results were all good. This made Xianghe Kangping happy, and once again increased the importance of "Military Manke" and affirmed the correctness of suppressing "Military Manke". After all, just borrowing from the four comics of "Zhiyin Manke", the comics created can get such high praise. Think about the four comics such as "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece", the potential is definitely stronger, and it is a threat to the Yiqiao Group. too big! However, the Aiga family is so insidious, and Ma Tengdong is not eating dry rice, and Aiga Kangping is happy too early! Just after signing the authorized broadcast contract with Nippon Television, Ma Tengdong did his best to complete the daily chemical work for "Dragon Ball", round the clock, and finally completed it in four days, and handed over all the animations that had been produced to Nippon Television. Once I got the "Dragon Ball" animation, and after re-checking and verifying that it was correct, the Japanese TV station immediately launched a three-day publicity. In addition, Ma Tengdong has arranged to increase the premiere rate of "Dragon Ball" on Nippon TV and give Nippon TV more confidence to promote "Dragon Ball", so he solemnly announced on the cover of the island version of "Milk Manke" This message calls on all readers to support. When the animation channel of the Japanese TV station began to promote "Dragon Ball", the news reached Aiga Kanghei immediately. When he was in a meeting at the time, he heard the news, his face instantly became serious, and then there was another related item at the meeting. Issue. It is a pity that even if the Hitotsubashi Group controlled by the Aiga family is powerful, it is only powerful in the publishing industry and the comics industry. It wants to influence Japanese TV stations but still has no power. I can only watch Japanese TV stations promote and broadcast "Dragon Ball". . With the release of another issue of "Milk Manke", fans of "Dragon Ball" are looking forward to the broadcast of the cartoon. Coupled with the publicity effect of Nippon Television, the premiere of "Dragon Ball" was very successful, and the ratings of the first broadcast successfully squeezed into the fourth position in the animation field on the same day. This achievement made the relevant executives of Japanese TV overjoyed and saw the "Dragon Ball". With great potential, immediately ordered to increase publicity. With the broadcast of the "Dragon Ball" cartoon, with the influence of the Japanese TV station covering the island country, the influence of "Dragon Ball" broke out with the end of the first broadcast. Many readers who have never watched "Military Friend" are interested because of the "Dragon Ball" animation, and want to know more plots, so they rush to bookstores and comic stores to buy "Military Friend" with "Dragon Ball" comics. "Magazine The sales volume of this issue of "Military Manke" magazine directly surpassed the sales volume of one million copies, reaching 1.19 million copies! In one fell swoop, it surpassed "Shoun King", which had a weekly circulation of 1 million, which was originally ranked eighth, and "Weekly Manga", which had a weekly circulation of 1.12 million, which was originally ranked 7. The latest ranking jumped from ninth to seventh! And from the sixth place, "Weekly Youth" is only short of 10,000 weekly circulation. Almost everyone knows that "Milk" will definitely surpass "Weekly Youth" next week. This is a sure thing. If you think you¡¯re done here, you¡¯re wrong. How could Ma Tengdong, who was holding back his stomach, let it go, his counterattack was not over yet. The next issue of "Zhiyin Manke" will not be released separately, along with the four series of freshly released manga booklets! Chinese and Japanese versions are released simultaneously! It is very simple to make a comic booklet. It is to re-integrate all the plots that have been serialized on "Milk Manke" before and make it into a commercial booklet. New readers suddenly fall into the pit, don''t they not understand the previous plot? It doesn''t matter, there are the most comprehensive commercial singles of the four comics "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Pokemon" and "Douro Land", which contain all the plots that have been serialized before. Look at it from beginning to end, and be sure to see the cool flying! Sure enough, the single-page books of the four comics were put on the market, just like a bomb dropped in deep water. Fans suddenly became restless, while the faces of Shueisha, Kodansha and other colleagues changed drastically. The second update is over, and the new week begins. Don¡¯t forget to vote, thank you! (Word count is free) https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 490: Not to be indecent "Zhiyin Manke" has a weekly circulation of more than one million from scratch in the island country, which means that it is difficult for fans who enter later to know the previous plot. Now that the single-page editions of the four comics have been released, for such fans, it can be said that it is heavenly. Therefore, many readers bought the booklet of their favorite comics after they bought the latest issue of "Military Manke". The children who have no money will buy them together with a few people, and the children who have money will buy four sets together. And after so many years of edification, readers in the island country have a strong interest in collecting, so after the first edition of the four comics came out, many readers even if they have read the comics throughout the entire process, they still have every issue of "Military Manke" at home, but still Bought four sets of single books. As a result, the sales of the four sets of single-line books are rising! Fortunately, Ma Tengdong knew the influence of the four comics including "Dragon Ball" and had already prepared the goods, and there was no shortage of goods in the market. As soon as the comic booklet came out, the influence of the four comics such as "Dragon Ball" exploded again. After all, people have a desire to show off. After buying their favorite comics, they always like to show off and tell their friends. This fissionally helps Manke expands its influence. In this way, the comic booklet''s addition to "Military Manke" is a perfect expression. With the release of this week¡¯s comic booklet, statistics show that after the end of the week, the sales of "Military Manke" in the entire island market easily exceeded 1.2 million copies, surpassing the sixth-ranked "Weekly Boys", and reached it in one fell swoop. With 1.35 million copies, it is no more than 50,000 behind the girl''s comic magazine "Flowers and Dreams" published by Baiquan. Ma Tengdong is full of confidence in "Flowers and Dreams" by Baiquanshe! The influence of manga leaflets and cartoons is long-term. They have consolidated the foundation of "Military Manke" at one time. He dared to pack the tickets. Next week, "Military Manke" will surpass "Flower and Dream" and will be featured in the island country comic magazine. The fifth position! In addition to the island market, Southeast Asia and other places have also been affected by the TV stations broadcasting the "Dragon Ball" cartoons and the influence of the comic booklet, which has made the "Mild Manke" magazine''s reputation increased several levels and sales surged. Except for the island country¡¯s surprise, the total weekly circulation in various regions has reached 1.3 million copies, and the global weekly circulation of "Zhiyin Manke" is 2.65 million copies. Of course, in terms of profit, the profit of "Military Friend" is not as big as the comic book. In island countries, the price of a copy of "Dragon Ball" is 250 yen. According to the current exchange rate, it is 1.14 U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars, and about 6 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong dollars. This price is the common price in island countries, whether it is a single book of Shueisha or Xiaoshukan, it is this price, but this price is twice that of the Xiangjiang version. This means that selling a single book of comic books in an island country will make profits more than twice that of markets outside the island country. Each of the four comics has four separate editions. For example, "Douluo Dalu" is "Douluo Dalu 1", "Douluo Dalu 2", "Douluo Dalu 3", and "Douluo Dalu 4". The four comics together released 16 pamphlets at one time. A total of 11.85 million copies were issued in the island market, an average of about 740,000 copies each. Of course, the actual situation is that the earlier the plot, the higher the sales, and the sales of "One Piece 1" directly exceeded 1.2 million copies. As for the global single-volume circulation, the score was 18.9 million. The biggest contributor was "Dragon Ball" with 5.3 million copies. Although it is already high, it is far from the previous record of the global single-volume circulation of 160 million copies. As for "One Piece", it is even more true. Only 4.64 million copies were issued, which barely reached one percent of the total circulation of 450 million copies in the previous life. Also, considering that the previous life "One Piece" was popular in the Internet era, the physical book was The Internet has been severely impacted, so it has a total circulation of 450 million. In this life nearly 20 years earlier, the potential of "One Piece" will only be greater! The popularity of the "Milk" magazine and the corresponding booklet was seen by the Xianghe family, and the people of Xianghe Kangping became anxious. Their copycat comic plot has just begun, and the world structure and main line of the plot have not yet been fully revealed. Readers are not very loyal and interested in comics. At this time, the original four major comics suddenly released a single book, and each of the plots is super long, their copy of the comics is simply incomparable, and they are put together absolutely. Even though their comic magazines such as "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" and "Weekly Shonen JUMP" have a weekly circulation of more than two million copies, and their platform has a very strong publicity ability, it is still difficult to bridge the gap. Just when they were anxious, the subordinate suddenly reported a news that made them feel as uncomfortable as eating shit. At Hitotsubashi Group headquarters, Aiga Yasuhei, Aiga Ichiro, and Aiga Suzutaro sat together again, but the three of them looked at the pile of newspapers placed on the table with very ugly expressions. Picking up a newspaper with a sales volume of 500,000, I saw the above news article: "The master of the comics industry has lost his dignity, and is it suspected of plagiarism?" Then it was written about the "Shen Ling" of the Junior School, and the detailed comparison results of the comics of the Shueisha copy of "One Piece" and the Baiquansha copy of "Pokemon" and the original four major comics of "Military Manke". As long as readers read this news, the guide will think that comics such as "Shenling" are plagiarism. In addition to this newspaper, there are many large and small newspapers commenting on this matter. These comments all appeared suddenly, and I haven''t noticed it yesterday so many suddenly appeared all at once today. When Aiga Kangping thought about it, he knew that this was definitely the work of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and he bought the media to pour dirty water on Xiaoxueguan and Shueisha. It is even possible to pull them to do negative marketing, touch them to expand their influence. Of course, according to Xianghe Kangping''s meaning, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. pours dirty water on them. In fact, they are dirty, but no thief is willing to admit that he is a thief. "This must be done by Jiuding Animation. Now we are in trouble. We must eliminate this public opinion as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is allowed to ferment, it will have a bad impact on us!" Aiga Kang said with a solemn expression. Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Suzutaro nodded one after another. After thinking about it, Aiga Suzutaro said solemnly: "We should contact these newspapers immediately and let them give up their attacks. At the same time, we will immediately produce enough evidence to publicize public opinion. Obliteration is in its infancy." As soon as Aiga Ruztaro finished speaking, Aiga Ichiro shook his head and objected: "This is not possible. Today is these newspapers. We don''t know which newspapers the other party has bought. Even if these newspapers are suppressed, there may be newspapers attacking us tomorrow." "More importantly, this is passive. If we want to suppress it, the cost will be very high. If it is exposed, it will be confirmed that we are plagiarism!" Hearing Aiga Ichiro''s reason, Aiga Yasuhiro nodded in agreement. "so what should I do now?" His own opinion was passed, Aiga Suzutaro lost his thoughts for a while, so he looked at Aiga Ichiro and asked subconsciously. PS: In the new week, please refer to the monthly ticket, and there will be one in the evening! (free) https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 491: Critical situation Aiga Ichiro narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us, so drag them into the water. I believe that for this outsider, no one will welcome us. Then unite with other colleagues to suppress them!" "Moreover, Ma Tengdong of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was originally a member of our Shueisha. It can be said that he stole our company''s secrets and created those comics." "Do readers believe most of us? Or do they believe them?" "Not to mention... I believe there are still many readers who are patriotic!" As soon as Aiga Ichiro finished speaking, He Kangping, the head of the Aiga clan, showed a deep smile, and said in agreement: "You are a good way!" Aga Rutaro, who has a relatively more peaceful personality, opened his mouth, wanting to doubt that doing so will make things worse, and the uncertainty will be strong, and it will be difficult to end it. If you get rid of it, it will be troublesome. It''s just that Baiquansha was originally splintered from Shueisha, the youngest, the company is relatively small, and his position as the president in the group and family is even lower. At this time, the head of the patriarch, He Kangping, and the second person in the family, Ichiro Aiga, both reached an agreement. In addition, he did not think of a better way, so he could only give up persuasion and nodded in agreement under the gaze of the two. "I have no opinion!" Upon seeing this, Aiga Kangping directly clapped and said: "Okay, Ichiro, since you figured out the solution, you will leave this to you, so we must completely suppress them!" "Yes!" Aiga Ichiro nodded solemnly. Afterwards, the two looked at each other and smiled, quite a tacit understanding. "Hope everything succeeds!" Aiga Suzutaro, who was sitting silently by the side, saw the appearance of the two, and said to himself. ... The next day, news about plagiarism in comic magazines owned by Shueisha, Xiaoxueguan and Baiquansha was several times more than yesterday. Many media that had not been submitted found profitable and consciously joined the ranks of public opinion speculation. But on this day, there was news that was unfavorable to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Ma Tengdong. For example, "Hokkaido Shimbun", which has a daily sales volume of 1.22 million copies, published a piece of news. It reads: "The plagiarism situation has turned over. The company president of "Zhiyin Manke" actually fired employees from Shueisha..." In the news, in the tone of the internal staff of Shueisha, he told about Ma Tengdong¡¯s "black past", how he did not unite with his colleagues, how he was selfish, how many kinds of vices he had, and he had minor problems with his colleagues, and he finally left his job inexplicably , But now he is surprised to find that Ma Tengdong has become the president of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and also runs "Military Manke", which he feels very incredible. The whole news, intentionally or unintentionally, is guiding readers to think in bad directions. This newspaper was seen by Ma Tengdong for the first time. The island branch of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Ma Tengdong, who was originally in a good mood, couldn''t help being furious after seeing this newspaper. He slapped his face heavily on the table, his face bursting with veins, and shouted angrily: "Bad son , Deceive people too much, this is completely slander!" He has never been so angry in his life! The news reported in a batch of newspapers headed by the "Hokkaido Shimbun" is false. Although the news is published from the perspective of bystanders, when his family knows his own affairs, when did he have such a stain? Now so many newspapers are throwing dirty water on him. In order to increase the credibility, they also write about his work experience, and then quote the evaluation of his original colleagues, and even some colleagues even use their real names to evaluate. Ma Tengdong was tickled with anger for these former colleagues with real names. These people were originally not dealing with him in the company, have right-wing tendencies, and often deliberately suppress Chinese people or make public statements that discredit China. Now they jumped out to give him a real name, and he would hehe! This is definitely a counterattack from the First Bridge Group, and it is very insidious. This is to muddy the water! Ma Tengdong has a very bad hunch! Compared to being discredited, he is more worried about what will happen next. Shaking his head slightly to calm himself down, Ma Tengdong took a deep breath, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with cold light. Ma Tengdong has no way to solve his slander. After all, he is inherently at a disadvantage. The evaluation of him by so many so-called "old colleagues" is enough to mislead the masses, and he has no way to prove it. "They want to muddy the water, and now they pour dirty water on me. If they pour dirty water on the company again, it will be troublesome!" Thinking of the unknown dangers, Ma Tengdong felt very uneasy. If the company was damaged because of this, where would he have the face to face Chairman Xia Yu? Ma Tengdong gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Now that you can''t retreat, let the matter continue to make things worse, and see you later. I am not afraid of shadows. I don''t believe that you can''t beat you!" After making up his mind, Ma Tengdong acted immediately and directly put the sharp evidence and manuscripts according to the sales ranking of the island country¡¯s newspapers. As long as the newspapers were more than 100,000 copies, they sent them all once, and named them against the Yiqiao Group. Various publishing houses, I believe there will definitely be many newspapers willing to report such breaking news. The island country is the country with the largest daily sales of newspapers in the world. The per capita daily newspaper penetration rate is the second in the world, and the total daily consumption is the world''s first. There are more than ten newspapers with circulation of more than one million copies. Among the ten newspapers, the island nation newspaper alone occupies four seats. In such a developed situation, there are also many evening papers. In the evening, some newspapers reported the sharp news provided by Ma Tengdong, and public opinion was further fermented, and under various evidences and justified criticism, readers'' stance was biased towards the victim of "Zhiyin Manke". But the good times did not last long, and this situation lasted all night. On the second day, newspapers headed by "Hokkaido Shimbun" further reported insider news. The news reported that comics such as "Dragon Ball," "One Piece," and "Pokemon" were secretly carried out by Shueisha. At that time, Ma Tengdong was a participant and knew about the planning of these comics. But soon after Ma Tengdong resigned, and afterwards, the four comics began to be serialized on "Milk Manke", because the comics were first released in Xiangjiang and did not enter the island country. At that time, Shueisha had not found it. When it was later discovered, it was too late. Shueisha was forced to cut down the four comics that were being conceived, and then took the comics ideas to the entire group for internal discussion and made substantial revisions, and the current four comics appeared. Because it was done, the Yiqiao Group recognized it. Who knew that Ma Tengdong was now raking it down, saying that their "wish victim" of Yiqiao Group was a "plagiarism". At this time, they couldn''t bear it and decided to take Ma Tengdong, a shameless thief, into viciousness. Make it public, let everyone see the ugly faces of Huaxia people! Moreover, it was reported on the news that Hitotsubashi Group will hold a press conference in the afternoon. By then, it will show a batch of strong evidence to prove its innocence! As soon as this kind of news came out, public opinion boiled over! Compared with the unfamiliar Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. , which just appeared not long ago, the rhetoric of famous publishing houses such as Jiyingsha and Xiaoxueguan is more convincing. After seeing these news, many people subconsciously think that there are many doubts in the serialization of the four popular comics in "Military Manke" at once. If the strength of Shueisha and Xiaoxuekan is a matter of course. In addition, Ma Tengdong is a Chinese, a foreigner, emotionally, the islanders subconsciously stand on the stand of Shueisha. Combined with the "stain" of Ma Tengdong reported in yesterday''s news, everything reported today makes sense. Through a series of brain supplements, many readers have sketched out a complete plot: Ma Tengdong had a bad life in the company due to his own problems, held a grudge against the company, and then stole the company¡¯s classic comic planning, and released it first after leaving. Then I took this to enter the island country market, and finally, in order to retaliate, the thief shouted to catch the thief and murder the owner. This kind of shameless person must be strongly condemned, and the sinful "Friends Manke" must be resisted! Then in the morning, a TV station suddenly interrupted some related news. On the screen, some readers burned a bunch of comics of "Military Manke" with banners of protest and boycott. The owner of a comics shop next to him also joined in angrily. All the pamphlets of the magazine and the four comics in the store were taken out and thrown into the fire! He also vowed not to sell the comics of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and called on all colleagues across the country to boycott "Milky Way"! After the break news was exposed, many media outlets immediately followed up like cats smelling fish. The public opinion situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 492: Fight back Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Island Branch, President''s Office. Ma Tengdong sat down at his desk with a gloomy expression, watching the picture of the burning "Military Friend" comic being played in front of the TV. He clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and felt a sense of hostility in his heart. The urge to kill. The One Bridge Group is deceiving too much, the little devil is too sinister and vicious! What he worried about yesterday happened after all, and the storm was coming more violently than he thought. The Hitotsubashi Group not only used newspapers to mislead public opinion and deny the origin of the comics, but also guided the national sentiment, bribed readers and bookstores, and wanted to arouse ordinary readers to boycott "Mild Friends". This is definitely a vicious method of the absolute best. "Boom boom boom!" "President, are you there?" At this moment, the office door was knocked, and the anxious voice of the subordinate came from outside the door. "Come in!" Ma Tengdong took a deep breath, calmed his expression, and said in a deep voice. "squeak¡­¡­" As the office door opened, the subordinate walked in with an uneasy expression. It may be because of an unstable mentality. He said as he walked: "President, the number 2 store in Tokyo called just now. Someone gathered at the door of store 2 to demonstrate and stop customers. When we entered the store, we burned our comics at the door. Some people even bought the comics in our store and then burned them outside. Now the store manager doesn¡¯t know what to do and has already called the police.¡± After Ma Tengdong listened, his face turned gloomy for a moment, and his heart was burning with anger. There is no end! The Yiqiao Group is really vicious. This is a special trick to attack Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. It was only two days, and public opinion could not achieve this kind of extreme behavior such as protests and boycotts, and it was not someone who dug the graves of someone''s ancestors, so it was only possible that someone instigated them and did it deliberately! Despite his anger, Ma Tengdong did not lose his mind. He knew that the purpose of the Yiqiao Group was to destroy the good situation of "Military Manke" and then kill "Military Manke". The most important thing now is not anger, but to figure out how to deal with it. Destroying the plots and tricks of the Yiqiao Group and fighting back is the best thing to do! Ma Tengdong thought for a long time in the expectation and anxiety of his subordinates. Then he opened his eyes sharply and looked at his subordinates very sharply. He said: "You inform all the store employees so that they don¡¯t get nervous. If the burning affects our business, call the police as soon as possible. If those people want to buy Comics come and burn, then let them buy them, no one will refuse! Someone will give us money and increase the sales of our comics, why don''t we?" Hearing this, his subordinates looked astonished, but with Ma Tengdong''s attitude, his turbulent heart was greatly calmed down, and he immediately nodded in response: "Okay, I will notify you immediately." "To calm the emotions of the employees, to have confidence in the company, the Yiqiao Group will not be arrogant for long!" Ma Tengdong warned, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. "Yes!" Ma Tengdong''s resolute and furious words made his subordinates feel at ease after hearing it, and he finally showed a relaxed expression and responded loudly. After his subordinates closed and left, Ma Tengdong''s face became solemn again, took a sip of water, and walked back and forth in the office, trying to come up with an effective solution. Before he knew it, he sat on the sofa again, picked up a pile of newspapers, and quickly flipped through it, his eyes darkened. Yiqiao Group¡¯s methods are so violent, it''s completely a life-and-death situation. Jiuding Animation is irresistible. If you retreat, there is no way to be forgiven, and you will only be beaten up. And he is absolutely impossible to back down! Because he retreats, it means that he is absolutely going to roll up his bed, and he may even suffer more serious consequences. Therefore, in this crisis, he can only decide the outcome with the Yiqiao Group! And he must win to live up to the trust of Chairman Xia Yu! After this period of reflection, he knew that Xia Yu, chairman of the board, had an opinion on him, so in a more serious crisis, he did not rush to ask Xia Yu for help as before. He wants to prove his ability! The time has not yet come to be completely hopeless! "It''s just that the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. Now we are fighting on the enemy''s turf. The Yiqiao Group has a favorable geographical position. Now there is a tendency to occupy the peace of people. The probability that I want to win is very slim." Ma Tengdong was a little irritable and couldn''t help muttering to himself. The wrinkles on his forehead were so deep that they were about to trap a mosquito. In this crisis, he must win, and only if he wins can he survive, and he can also obtain great benefits to bring "Zhiyin Manke" to the top! After all, he has stayed in the island country for more than ten years, and has a good understanding of the society and humanities of the island country. The islanders are very aggressive and resilient to the outside world, but they have an obvious shortcoming, that is, they bully the weak and fear the hard. They are accustomed to chasing after the weak, but when they are defeated and conquered by the strong, they will appear very docile. This is determined by culture. The people of the island nation respect the strong. Only by defeating them can they gain their awe and respect. Looking at the United States now, you can see that the island nation is tied to a dog on a chain. I don''t know how obedient it is. Even in later generations, the island country did not break free. Although the island country wanted to get rid of the iron chain and straighten up, every time the American father got angry, he nodded and bowed honestly. In Ma Tengdong''s view, this crisis is also an opportunity. After passing through, the reputation of "Military Friend" and Jiuding Animation will reach the entire island and establish a prestigious reputation. This is the foundation of Jiuding Animation''s long-lasting prosperity. Then fight hard and win! "You can''t be led by the nose by the Yiqiao Group. We don''t have enough strength. Then we can break the face and open a hole. It may cause fatal injuries!" "You beat you, I beat mine, and see whose methods are more lethal!" Thinking of this, Ma Tengdong looked fiercely and muttered to himself: "Then keep the matter going, go to the Tokyo court to file a lawsuit and disrupt the rhythm of the Hitotsubashi Group!" "Although the company has not registered a comic copyright patent in the island country, there are international patents that have already been registered in the United States. Our company is destined to be invincible. The island government signed the Patent Cooperation Treaty in Washington in 1970 The island country court will never deny it!" In Ma Tengdong''s thoughts, the result of the lawsuit has long been doomed, and now more important is the symbolic meaning of the lawsuit. He dared to take the initiative to take the Hitotsubashi Group to court, which means he has enough confidence. The meaning revealed here can definitely calm down readers who have been instigated by the Hitotsubashi Group, calm the chaotic rhythm of public opinion, and do it for himself. To gain time. At the same time interrupt the offensive rhythm of the Yiqiao Group and regain the initiative! In this way, he has time to settle accounts with Yiqiao Group slowly! In fact, in a lawsuit with the First Bridge Group, Ma Tengdong, in addition to being able to come up with the deadly killer of international patents, also has other favorable evidence, which is definitely ten times more than the so-called "evidence" that the First Bridge Group will announce at the press conference. For example, the follow-up plot of the comic and the setting of the comic. Due to the request of Chairman Xia Yu, there are a lot of manuscripts of the four comics including "Dragon Ball". Even if the comics cease to be created now, the manuscripts that have been drawn are enough for the magazine to serialize for half a year. Very rare. It is estimated that Hitotsubashi Group would not have thought that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. would be so perverted. Didn¡¯t Hitotsubashi Group say that these four comics originally belonged to them? Then take out the evidence and ask the court to determine who is true. Ma Tengdong is confident that a fake is definitely not true! Thinking of these practical countermeasures, Ma Tengdong''s heart settled down and he continued to think of other methods. Of course you can¡¯t just let it go if you get hit in the face, you must go back! For a long time, Ma Tengdong thought of several ways, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I want to win or lose, and I have to take advantage in advance!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 493: Xia Yu is concerned, 1 Bridge Group will be unlucky "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the phone on Ma Tengdong''s desk suddenly remembered and interrupted Ma Tengdong''s thoughts. Ma Tengdong frowned slightly and looked at the number. It turned out to be from the front desk of the company. He immediately connected and said, "What''s the matter?" "President, Mr. Sakurai Yusuke from Nippon Television is here, and Nanako is now leading your office." Respectful words from the front desk staff came over the phone. Ma Tengdong frowned and said "I know", then hung up the phone, stood up, tidyed up his clothes, and walked outside. As soon as he opened the office door, Ma Tengdong saw the oncoming Sakurai Yusuke. He immediately squeezed out a smile and enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Sakurai, please come inside!" "Mr. Ma, hello!" Then, Ma Tengdong and Sakurai Yusuke sat on the sofa, and Ma Tengdong took the initiative to make tea. "Please use tea!" "Thank you!" "Good tea!" ... After the three rounds of tea, Sakurai Yusuke gently put down the tea cup, and Ma Tengdong realized that it was time to talk, so he cheered up. "Mr. Ma, I believe you have guessed what I came from, right?" Sakurai Yusuke said slightly. Looking at Ma Tengdong tightly. Ma Tengdong nodded and said bluntly: "It''s about the influence of public opinion on "Dragon Ball" cartoons, right?" "Yes!" "Your company¡¯s "Dragon Ball" animation is of very good quality. After it was broadcast, it also brought satisfactory ratings to our TV station. However, in the past two days, your company was in trouble, and our TV station had different voices. I was worried that the trouble would spread to the TV station, because I requested the purchase of "Dragon Ball", so the company sent me to find out the situation." Sakurai Yusuke is blunt, directly clarifying his concerns and intentions. When Ma Tengdong heard the words, he smiled, and was not angry. It is normal for Japanese TV stations to be worried when these things happen, and it is strange that they have no reaction! After all, the business is business, and no one owes anyone the money. It is normal for Japanese TV stations to not want to be troubled by Jiuding Animation. Of course, Ma Tengdong also knows that the Japanese TV station has a strong backing and is not afraid of any trouble. Sakurai Yusuke''s rhetoric should be superficial, and the deeper meaning is to worry about the ratings and revenue of "Dragon Ball." "Mr. Sakurai, you are a person with high IQ. It should be seen that our company is a victim, and Hitotsubashi Group is too ugly!" Ma Tengdong took a sip of tea from his teacup and said with a slight smile. Sakurai Yusuke smiled and brought the topic back again: "There is no absolute right or wrong in the world. It is useless if we know it. The point is who most people will believe. This is the key. And our TV station serves most people, so..." "I understand the truth, I don''t need your station to do anything for me." Upon hearing this, Sakurai Yusuke nodded slightly in approval. Ma Tengdong cleared his throat and said righteously. "First of all thank you for your recognition of our company." "Secondly, I can say responsibly that the victory of this incident must belong to us. You needn''t worry about the ratings of "Dragon Ball", and even because of this disturbance, the popularity of "Dragon Ball" will increase greatly, maybe. Your TV¡¯s ratings will increase dramatically!" Sakurai Yusuke looked at Ma Tengdong quietly, listened to his narration, and recognized Ma Tengdong''s words in his heart. Regardless of Ma Tengdong''s success or failure, the popularity of "Dragon Ball" is bound to rise. The bigger the trouble, the more people know about "Milk" and "Dragon Ball", which can definitely increase the ratings of "Dragon Ball" cartoons. But the premise is that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. must win, or even if the ratings increase, it will only be a short-lived. Due to the impact, the "Dragon Ball" animation will definitely be cut off. At that time, the loss of Japanese TV stations can be great! But now that Ma Tengdong is so confident that he will win, Yusuke Sakurai cannot deny it. In the current situation, Jiuding Animation is extremely weak. He is very curious about Ma Tengdong''s confidence to say such words, and then asks: "Mr. Ma, you said that victory must belong to you. Does your company have any trump cards?" Ma Tengdong smiled, nodded and said, "It does exist, but let me keep it secret for the time being." Seeing Ma Tengdong''s mysterious appearance, Sakurai Yusuke frowned slightly, wondering if Ma Tengdong was fooling him. As if he knew Yusuke Sakurai''s concern, Ma Tengdong gave him a reassurance and said: "Mr. Sakurai, what you need to do when you open the door is honesty. You can continue to play "Dragon Ball" cartoons. If you lose money, I promise to return all the money to your station and I can sign a letter of commitment!" Hearing these loud words, Sakurai Yusuke looked at Ma Tengdong abruptly, and saw the firmness in his eyes. Yusuke Sakurai was relieved immediately and smiled again on his face. "Mr. Ma, admire!" "I believe that your company will be successful, and I look forward to our future cooperation." "But I brought the above order here, I believe you very much, but I need to go back to deal with each other, so..." Seeing the hypocritically embarrassed look on Yusuke Sakurai''s face, Ma Tengdong said with a smile, "It should be, please wait a moment!" After speaking, Ma Tengdong returned to the desk, took out a piece of A4 paper, wrote the undertaking in a while, signed and sealed it, took it and handed it to Yusuke Sakurai. Sakurai Yusuke took a quick glance, put the pledge with a smile, and said, "Thank you!" "It should be that we feel sorry for letting you run." "..." After another greeting, Yusuke Sakurai, who had achieved his goal, said goodbye, and Ma Tengdong sent him out. When he returned to the office, Ma Tengdong sneered, feeling a little unhappy. If it is normal, Ma Tengdong can certainly ignore the Japanese TV station. After all, with the quality and influence of the "Dragon Ball" cartoon, the other four major TV stations in the island country will definitely rush to ask for it. But now is a special time after all, and the situation is not good for him. He wants to ensure that "Dragon Ball" can be played normally, as long as this can help him reap the benefits, and it will not push Japanese TV stations to the opposite. If the Japanese TV station stops broadcasting, the Japanese TV station that has suffered the loss will not let it go. By then, Jiuding Animation will have another incredible opponent. And there are other bad influences that make public opinion continue to favor the Hitotsubashi Group. Then he really doesn''t know what to do! Only if "Dragon Ball" continues to play normally, is it the most powerful for him and the company. Isn''t it just to write a letter of commitment, he is confident that he can win, naturally there is no compensation, at best, it is a piece of useless waste paper. After the victory, if this matter spreads out, it might be a good talk for him and the company. "You have to act quickly, isn''t it just a press conference? You will, and I will too! See who gets beaten in the face!" Thinking of this, Ma Tengdong immediately went down to make arrangements. He is going to hold a press conference this afternoon to confront the Yiqiao Group! Isn''t it just Gang? come! Who is afraid of whom? ... Sanwa Bank Tokyo Branch, Deputy General Manager''s Office. Fukuhara Kazuo was also drinking tea leisurely in his spare time, looking at the newspaper brought by his subordinates, showing interest on his face. He didn''t expect that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. would have caused such a big incident. The one with small arms and legs would fight with the island publishing hegemony Yiqiao Group. It depends on the situation. With his eyesight, he could see what was going on at a glance, but he didn''t feel pity for Ma Tengdong. The business field is like this, there are more cruel things than this, and he has no intention of pitying anyone. Weakness is the original sin! If it weren''t because Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. had loaned money through him, and it was Xia Yu''s company that he suddenly dared to be interested in now, he would never care about these fights. "Depending on the situation, Ma Tengdong will not bow his head. I don''t know if Xia Yu has intervened in this matter. Suddenly I am expecting what will happen next. I really want to see his methods." Fukuhara Kazuya showed expectation on his face, took a sip of tea, and said with a light smile. As for the loans he released, he was not worried at all. Knowing the backer of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., these loans can definitely be repaid! ... Chuo-ku, Tokyo, where Jiuding Securities is located. Xia Yu also knew what had happened, and bought a lot of newspapers to learn about the latest developments, and knew that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was in a bad situation. "Chairman, do we want to help Manager Ma? It doesn''t seem to be very good now." Wang Qi, who also knew the news, was a little worried about his colleague''s situation. Seeing the boss Xia Yuzheng sitting on the floor reading the newspaper, and still smiling, he couldn''t help sweating for Ma Tengdong in his heart and asked in a low voice. "Not for the time being. Now that the mountains and rivers are not exhausted, there is no need to intervene. Let Ma Tengdong deal with it by himself." "What''s more, it is rare for him to not contact me so stubbornly. He must know it in his heart. We can watch it for the time being. If he can''t hold on, it won''t be too late for us to intervene." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, there was even a hint of satisfaction and appreciation in his tone. It now appears that Ma Tengdong is awake. Since being beaten by him, the situation is now more difficult than before. Ma Tengdong hasn''t rushed to him for help, which is a good thing. Don''t force him, he really grows slowly! And Xia Yu also believed that Ma Tengdong would not be stupid. If there was no other way, he would definitely come to him for help. Now that Ma Tengdong wanted to solve it by himself, Xia Yu gave him a chance to perform. Anyway, no matter how difficult the situation is, Xia Yu has some ways to make a comeback. Although Yiqiao Group is the overlord of the publishing industry in the island country , it is only the overlord of the publishing industry. There are more than 3,000 publishing houses in the island, and the market is fragmented. Even if a Yiqiao Group is the most powerful, how big can it be? "If you are willing to help him, then first collect the information of the Yiqiao Group. Maybe you can help him then." Looking up at Wang Qi, Xia Yu said casually. "It just happens that Jiuding Securities is here for the first time and needs to make a name for it." When Wang Qi heard this, he immediately smiled. He knew that the boss would not leave it alone, and he knew what to do next. No matter whether Ma Tengdong can hold it or not, Yiqiao Group will definitely be cleaned up! "Okay Chairman, I''m going to collect information now!" After speaking, Wang Qi slowly withdrew from the office and went to get busy. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, and said to Li Qian on the side: "Xi Qian, call Yan Wenhan to let him pay attention to the island country and give Ma Tengdong some support. He should know what to do!" Li Qian suddenly covered her and chuckled, her eyes were crescent-filled, and she said crisply, "I''ll fight now." Seeing the smile in Li Qian¡¯s eyes, Xia Yu knew what she was laughing at, slapped Li Qian¡¯s buttocks, and smiled and said: "What do you want, the little devil is shameless, and he has the home court advantage. The most important thing is to use map cannons to pour dirty water on all Chinese people. This is to help them become famous!" "I know, I didn''t say anything, and hit someone else''s **** again." Li Qian frowned slightly, rubbed her straight buttocks, and muttered. After speaking, seeing Xia Yu raising her hand again and trying to give her a few more shots, Li Qian snorted like a fertilized rabbit, and immediately ran to the phone and started an international call.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 494: Crazy 1 At three o''clock in the afternoon, Hitotsubashi & Kanda Sakumacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 2-chome 5, where Shueisha headquarters are located. At this time, a large number of media reporters are gathering in the planned venue, carrying long guns and short cannons to participate in the press conference held by the Hitotsubashi Group. Although the press conference was held here at Shueisha, Aiga Yasuhei, the president of Hitotsubashi Group and the president of Shogakukan, also sat on the rostrum. At his home court, Aiga Ichiro stood up first, bowed slightly to the media, then picked up the microphone and spoke with a serious expression. "Thank you all friends from the media for your just support!" "In the past two days, our Jiyingsha has been trapped in a whirlpool of public opinion. I find it inexplicable. At the same time, I have nowhere to vent my grievances..." "We are Shueisha. "Weekly Shonen Jump" sells well all over the country. We have one of the best creative teams in the comics industry in the country. Do we need to plagiarize? Do we have a reason to plagiarize? Or is it plagiarizing a foreign company that is worse than us, a novice in the industry? Misconduct, a company managed by someone who left our company?" "Ha ha ha..." Aiga Ichiro made a serious complaint, which caused a burst of laughter from the media reporters in the audience. The thinking of some novices unknowingly followed the direction guided by Aiga Ichiro, and they didn''t know when their position changed. ""Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Douro Land" and "Pokemon" were originally created by our Shueisha, but at the beginning of the creation, they were stolen. We didn''t find it at the time. It''s too late, these four comics have been revised and released by shameless thieves!" "The patent application we submitted is still in the process, but unfortunately it is too late. These four comics have already come out, and our previous efforts are all in vain." "It''s done, we can only abandon the original plan, re-plan the new comics, and the group deploys, divided the planning of the four comics into two for Xiaoxiaoguan and Baiquansha. After a period of re-planning and creation, the current comics appeared. , Which is a cartoon that was shamelessly accused of plagiarism by thieves." "But we didn''t expect that the shameless thief was very arrogant, treating our tolerance as a good bully and maliciously slandering us for plagiarism. This time, we decided not to give in and fight the evil forces to the end!" "I know that many people think that I am telling lies. This is my one-sided statement and is not a belief. To prove that what I said is true, today, I will provide strong evidence! " Speaking of this, Aiga Ichiro unknowingly filled with outrage, his expression was very good, he pointed his finger at a bald head sitting next to him, and introduced to the media: "Everyone should have noticed that this one next to me is from the Patent Office. Chief Zhongchun!" "Wow!" "Kab! Kab!" Following the introduction of Aiga Ichiro, the scene suddenly became lively. The reporters immediately pressed the shutter and took pictures quickly, looking forward to the upcoming scene in their hearts. Sure enough, with the breaking news, it was unexpected that the island country patent office was invited over. Zhongchun''s bald head stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I''m Zhongchun Zuofu..." Afterwards, Nakaharu Tsao directly testified for Aiga Ichiro, proving that Shueisha had indeed filed a patent registration application a long time ago. However, when the patent registration was halfway through, it was found that almost the same comics appeared on the market, so the Patent Office was fair. In principle, patent approval was suspended, but he can prove that Shueisha''s patent registration application was submitted before the comics appeared. Having said that, Nakaharuzov also took out the "patent registration application" and the approval process materials previously submitted by Shueisha. Each process has a corresponding time and signature and stamp of the person in charge. "Director Zhongchun, can I take photos of the materials?" "of course can!" "Thank you!" The official character Naka Chuntsov came out to endorse, and coupled with the "iron proof" that was brought out, the reporters present almost believed in most of the news. Many reporters were shooting and recording this big news just like a chicken blood. Seeing this, the corner of Aiga Ichiro''s mouth curled up, and then disappeared quickly. He specifically checked that the four comics such as "Dragon Ball" did not have a patent registered in the island country, which left a big gap. He then used his contacts to forge the patent registration application for this semi-finished product, and invited Nakachunzov to do it. perjury. He didn''t want to take this step either, after all, there were risks. But can he say that he was also forced? Originally, Hitotsubashi Group just wanted to draw on the four successful comics from "Mild Manke" and create comics to grab the market. Prior to this, in the island country comics industry, similar situations of mutual learning and progress existed, but this time Hitotsubashi Group has learned more, which is not a big deal. Who knows that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is a dumbfounded person, who directly approached Yiqiao Group "with pebbles and stones", and they plagiarized without saying anything, and made the matter big! The One Bridge Group certainly couldn''t admit it, and couldn''t cut down these cartoons, but was forced to fight back. Unexpectedly, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is too rigid, and it has gradually evolved to the present situation. As a result, Shueisha and Yiqiao Group can only grit their teeth and go to the dark. Of course, there will be this kind of result now. A large part of the reason is that Hitotsubashi Group is used to being the boss. Aiga Ichiro and others are very arrogant and can''t tolerate others'' provocations, especially Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. from Xiangjiang. After all, the island country is their home field, coupled with the energy they possess, makes Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. lose every day. Aiga Ichiro and others have a big heart, especially after finding that there is no registered patent in the island country. It became more active. Unfortunately, because the international patent registration management department in Washington, USA has too much work, each patent has to be exchanged with dozens of contracting member countries. This is not the era of networking. The information is still on paper, and the information exchange is very cumbersome. , They are all focused on one time period to exchange a batch. As a result, the international patent department did not exchange information with the member states of the Patent Cooperation Treaty in time, and the island country patent office did not know that the comics such as "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" had already registered all international patents. Aiga Ichiro wants to drill this "hole" that has been blocked, and he is destined to only hit the iron plate! As for the sister company of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Newspaper, although it is a media hegemon, its influence is outside the island country, and its influence in the island country is very small, so they don''t care. As for other companies in the Jiuding family, they have little entanglement with their publishing industry, and they are still outside the island country. They don''t have any personal experience of specific powers, and they naturally don''t care. Afterwards, Aiga Ichiro once again provided Shueisha''s secret creation "manuscript", trying to prove his innocence and restore the "truth"! ... When the press conference was held at Shueisha, the branch of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., not far from Shueisha, also in Hitotsubashi & Kanda Sakuma Town, Yoda District, was also preparing for a press conference nervously. The time was set at four o''clock in the afternoon, and it was one hour late for Shueisha. Ma Tengdong planned to take measures based on the situation of Shueisha''s press conference. At the press conference of Shueisha, there were some employees of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. nearby. Every time, an employee will leave and return to the company, reporting the actual situation of the press conference to Ma Tengdong Ma Tengdong sitting in the office once again listened to the employee¡¯s report and encouraged him. , Let him go down. Thinking of the island country patent office running out to do "perjury", Ma Tengdong couldn''t help but laugh. "Does this think we have no island country patents? Ha ha! Do we need it?" Ma Tengdong was suddenly thankful that the international patent department had not shared the information with other countries. Only in this way would the Xianghe family mistakenly believe that they have no patents. This is the advantage of information asymmetry! "Hehe, I don''t know how they feel when they know that we have the highest international patent?" "This time the victory and defeat is basically stable, then we have to change the original plan. Let''s drag it for the time being to get more benefits. The more happy the Yiqiao Group jumps, the worse it will fall by then!" "But if you want to get more benefits, you must first remove the obstacles on the sales side, and remove the atrocities of protests and bad business!" Thinking of this, a trace of anger flashed in Ma Tengdong''s eyes, which was angry. With a gesture of begging for mercy, there is definitely no way to stop this kind of thing from happening, so we can only take advantage of the situation to prevent them from doing this again, and they can''t do it again, and let others stop these people with ulterior motives. "Then go crazy and fire the map cannon!" "Isn''t that Ma Tengdong is a shameless villain? Then let everyone know me as a villain and remember my name!" After thinking for a long time, Ma Tengdong''s eyes appeared crazy, and blood began to surge in his heart. After checking the time, it is about to four o''clock in the afternoon. The venue has been set up and it''s time to go out! Standing up, Ma Tengdong straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, and walked outside with firm steps! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 495: The cannon blasted his mother The press conference at Shueisha was finished before four o''clock. Since Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. is very close to Shuyingsha, the media who participated in the press conference of the Yiqiao Group went to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to continue participating. Therefore, when Ma Tengdong came to the press station, the audience was already crowded with journalists. But Ma Tengdong keenly observed that the attitude of these reporters was extremely unfriendly, and many of them were even gloating and anticipating. Guessing what they were thinking, Ma Tengdong was under no pressure, but when he thought of what he was going to do next, he felt a lot of fun, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but bend. "First of all, thank you all for participating in our press conference!" As soon as Ma Tengdong finished speaking, a young reporter standing in the front couldn''t help it, and asked aggressively: "President Ma, your theft of Shueisha''s comics has now been exposed. May I ask..." Before the young reporter had finished speaking, Ma Tengdong''s expression became cold. The reporter''s stance was completely crooked. As soon as he came, he would label him as a character? "be quiet!" "I emphasize the press conference process. I will not answer any questions before I officially start asking questions. If the warning is invalid, please leave!" As he said, Ma Tengdong looked at the reporter coldly, and his face flushed as he watched. "President Ma, is this your attitude towards us? We are reporters and have the right to know the truth!" The young reporter was angry and yelled, but he was not too stupid, and he knew how to pull others into the water. It''s a pity that this kind of trick is too low-level. Ma Tengdong is too lazy to waste time with him. He has to cut the mess quickly, so as to save trouble after a long time, he directly casts a color on the employees below. The employee in charge of maintaining order immediately approached the young reporter, who panicked. "What are you doing? I am a reporter from the Osaka Daily News. I have the right to freedom of speech and the right to know. Oh..." The young journalist was struggling constantly, but was dragged away mercilessly by the staff. When other reporters saw this scene, although their hearts were stunned, the camera in their hands did not stop, and they kept shooting this scene, which is considered a Good news. The effect of this Wei Li was good, and Ma Tengdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when the reporters who arrived were honest. Grasping the initiative of the press conference, then he can more smoothly act according to the plan. "Now we continue!" "In the past few days, I found that the public opinion of the island country is very unfriendly to me and our company. I am deeply saddened by this!" "The Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Hakusensha under Hitotsubashi Group plagiarized our company''s cartoons. After being exposed by the righteous media, the dog jumped over the wall and bit me back, saying that I had stolen the cartoon plan of Shueisha. I just want to say in Aiga Ichiro''s mind Can you hear the sound of the sea?" "Haha..." The island country has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, and the people of the island country are no strangers to the remarks made by their heads. At this time, some reporters couldn''t help laughing after hearing Ma Tengdong''s irony. "As for the copyrights of "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece"... the four comics, I would like to make a statement that these four comics were not created by me. If I stole the comic plan of Shueisha, then I would not be able to mark my name. !" "I''m here to give a piece of advice to the Hitotsubashi Group. We have sufficient evidence to prove the ownership of the comics. It is impossible for you to ask for artificial leave. Please rein in the brink, otherwise you will suffer serious consequences!" Seeing Ma Tengdong''s solemn expression and sonorous tone, the reporters who participated in the conference immediately refreshed and quickly pressed the shutter. This is a good speech, just what they need! Ma Tengdong paused for a moment, took a deep breath, showing a very disappointed expression, which surprised the reporters, and then listened to him. "I have studied and worked in the island country for more than ten years. I originally had a good impression of the island country. However, what happened in the past two days has disappointed me, a foreigner who has lived in the island country for more than ten years. Yes, it is disappointment! " "Now I came to the island country as a foreign businessman, doing business in the island country, paying taxes formally and legally, and providing jobs for the people of the island country. I don¡¯t want much favor or gratitude from your country, but at least I have to give us a peace An orderly market environment and fair and just treatment." Upon hearing this, the reporters off the court already knew what Ma Tengdong was going to say, and many reporters became serious because Ma Tengdong''s remarks had begun to magnify. "But now, what has our company got?" Ma Tengdong suddenly raised the volume, his expression became angry, and he looked filled with righteous indignation. He suddenly picked up a bunch of pictures and raised them to face the reporters off the court. The pictures directly above his fingers were the pictures of Manke¡¯s House being disrupted and comics burning, as well as demonstrations in other places. "Before the truth of the matter appeared, some people with ulterior motives even instigated national sentiment, instructed the citizens of the island country to expel our legal enterprises and interfere with the normal operation of our company! I am very disappointed!" "This can only prove that the messenger behind is scared! Want to use this method to defeat us!" "The rats hiding in the sewers used conspiracy and tricks in an attempt to bring us down, but the public opinion and citizens of the island country are indiscriminately standing on their side, attacking us and affecting the normal operation of our company. This is what the island country treats. Is the attitude of foreign businessmen and companies?" "If it is, then I am extremely disappointed with the island country. If you do this, it will only make me look down on your island people and the government of your island country! Even a normal business environment cannot be provided!" "You can continue to burn, not only burn our cartoons, and strive to burn all the products of foreign companies, you can also continue to boycott, boycott all foreign companies!" The reporter''s face off the court changed drastically. When he wanted to be restless, Ma Tengdong immediately raised his volume and shouted again: "If it''s not what I said!" "Then let me see your attitude and provide us with a fair environment before the truth comes out. This is my request as a foreign businessman!" Speaking of this, the atmosphere off the court became calm and silent, and Ma Tengdong also slowed down his attitude and said sincerely: "I also know that there are many lovely people in the island country. For example, our readers of "Zhiyin Manke" may have Very few people have been misled by sinister intentions, but I ask you to stay calm for the time being and give us a chance and justice!" "After all, I have lived in the island country for more than ten years. I still have deep feelings for the island country. Please don''t let the emotions in my heart be obliterated. Please be able to report the news from a neutral perspective, thank you!" Ma Tengdong''s last truthful revelation made many people at the press conference, especially the islanders feel confused. Hearing what he said just now, many reporters who had a hostile attitude also let go of their hostility at this time. After all, they are also islanders, and no one wants their country and people to be looked down upon. "Finally, I will issue a statement on behalf of the company. Regarding Hitotsubashi Group''s plagiarism of our company''s comics and defamation of me and our company, I hope Hitotsubashi Group can give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise our company will report to Tokyo. The court filed a lawsuit!" ... After the press conference, the media reporters left with mixed feelings. Ma Tengdong did not care about the complicated feelings of the company''s employees, but returned to the office refreshed. This is his method, he directly fired the map to draw hatred, but he played the emotional card. As long as the speech at this press conference is published, he believes that many people in the island country will definitely want to kill him. But they definitely only dared to think about it, but didn''t dare to do anything. After making these remarks, the enemy Hitotsubashi Group didn''t want him to have an accident, and the island government didn''t want him. If something happens to him, the island government and the island country¡¯s business environment will be questioned, and all foreign companies in the island country will feel uneasy. This will damage the foundation of the island country and at the same time affect the island government¡¯s international reputation. The island government cannot afford it. This price! After these remarks, he believed that the readers would split internally, those nationalists with sinister intentions would no longer be threatened, "Mildred Manke" could continue to be sold normally, and Manke Home would also operate normally. This is Ma Tengdong want. ... In the evening, the major daily newspapers of the island nation reported these two gunpowder-filled press conferences, especially Ma Tengdong''s remarks, which were reported intact by many newspapers. The readers who saw this news suddenly exploded, and all of them were filled with indignation. At the same time, they felt hot on their faces. While irritating Ma Tengdong, they also hated his compatriots for doing such irrational embarrassing things. The island government also paid close attention to this matter for the first time. At the evening news of the island country¡¯s public television station controlled by the government that night, an official of the island country government responded on the Japanese public television station, apologizing for what happened to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. It will ensure that Jiuding Animation can operate normally, and the island country will welcome investors from all over the world with a warm and open attitude. For a time, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Ma Tengdong''s reputation reverberated throughout the island country, of course, this reputation is not very good. But Aiga Ichiro and others panicked, the situation was completely out of their control, and the panicked they could only get together again and discuss the countermeasures overnight. By the next day, major newspapers reported one after another, and public opinion further fermented. Yan Wenhan, who received Xia Yu''s order from Xiangjiang, didn''t bother to watch. Jiuding News Agency''s Island Bureau sent the news back to Xiangjiang. That is, on the next morning, all the newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper Company department reported on what happened in the island country. Of course, their position was biased towards Ma Tengdong. The media in the island country has crooked butts. Is Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. really bullied? Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Ma Tengdong were treated differently in the island country. Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. made a big deal and embarrassed the island country to the entire Asia Put more pressure on the island government and put Ma Tengdong on Solidarity. This morning, Chinese in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan saw these news, especially the domineering photos of Ma Tengdong in the newspapers when he denounced the island government and the island market. Readers were refreshed. What a **** kind! Give the Chinese a long face! Must support! At the same time, readers spurned the Yiqiao Group and the people and governments of the island countries. Some newspapers of the Jiuding family are also distributed in the island country. After many readers from the island countries bought it and read it, they felt a panic on their faces when they thought of the newspapers being distributed to other countries. The newspapers of the island countries also have news gathering and editing sites in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The reports of the major newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company were immediately known to them. At the same time, they also knew that outside public opinion was very unfavorable to the island country. These people suddenly became anxious and immediately sent the news back home. After receiving the news from many newspapers in the island country, some newspapers chose to publish it to the outside world, and public opinion became even more boiling. Seeing the deterioration of foreign public opinion, the island government once again increased its attention, and the head of the island¡¯s Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately held a press conference. At the press conference, I once again apologized to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., stating that the actions of individuals in the island country cannot represent the government, and guaranteeing that all foreign companies in the island country will provide a fair and enthusiastic business environment. Ma Tengdong, Xia Yu and others who saw this press conference on TV couldn''t help but smile. Xia Yu had a feeling of recognizing Ma Tengdong again, and he praised him so much. Ma Tengdong did not disappoint him, and even exceeded his expectations! PS: Today is more than 6,000 words, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 496: The financial cannon is loaded The situation was reversed, and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. finally got a respite. But Ma Tengdong did not relax, because he knew that this kind of opportunity was rare and he had to seize it tightly and develop with all his strength. It''s a pity that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. appears to outsiders to be in a deep whirlpool, and its future is at a loss. Therefore, Ma Tengdong''s progress in acquiring Rishengsha has fallen into a quagmire. It is estimated that the acquisition will not be completed unless the crisis is resolved. Therefore, Ma Tengdong can only devote his energy to Manke''s Home, and follow up the progress of the shop around the clock. Deep in the whirlpool of public opinion, every action of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was exposed to the spotlight. When seeing Jiuding Animation not only not nervous, but also resolutely opening new stores, many people were dumbfounded. Even some people have quietly changed their positions after brainstorming, thinking that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has the confidence to do this. Then the statement of Yiqiao Group is false? For a time, the direction of public opinion became more blurred. However, the public opinion is lost, and the positive effects of the fight with the Yiqiao Group continue to erupt. Because public opinion has always been in the crater, and the well-known Jiyingsha, Xiaoxueguan and Baiquansha of "Military Friend" are still fighting, which completely aroused the curiosity of the readers. If you want to know who is so awesome, you want to know "Military Friend". What kind of manga are you drawing? What are the original four mangaes mentioned by Shueisha? As a result, in the midst of disturbances, the sales of "Military Friend" has skyrocketed. In the new week, "Military Friend" has issued 1.96 million copies, which has soared nearly 600,000 copies, far exceeding the fifth. "Flowers and Dreams" and the fourth "Weekly Comics" are only less than 100,000 copies from the third place. This result made Ma Teng Dongle''s mouth crooked, and the effect of screaming on the public opinion outlet was amazing. The effect of public attention is better than any advertisement. After seeing this latest issue of the list, Kang Ping of the Hitotsubashi Group''s Xianghe Kangping looked ugly to death. They got into the quagmire, and they helped the "Military Friend". They were as disgusting as eating flies, but it was a pity that the situation was out of their control. No matter how small they were, the effect was not great. After being secretly warned by the island government, Hitotsubashi Group did not dare to resort to extraordinarily insidious tricks. Some small methods of piercing the ball can be used as a fart. They can only step up to apply for patents. As long as the patents are obtained, they are confident that Jiuding Animation will not be able to turn the sky. ! ... At the same time, the establishment of the island branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is progressing rapidly, because before the arrival, people have been sent to do the preliminary work. Now Wang Qi has brought key personnel to come, and the establishment of the company is soon completed. In the office of Jiuding Securities Island Branch, Xia Yu sat on the boss''s chair, quietly browsing Wang Qi to collect relevant information about the Yiqiao Group. Yiqiao Group is now the leading company in the publishing and comics industry in the island country. Therefore, its market value has a leading halo bonus, and its price-earnings ratio is much higher than that of the second in the industry, Otowa Group. At this time, the market value of Hitotsubashi Group is 81.2 billion yen, but due to public opinion, the stock price is volatile. When Hitotsubashi Group occupied the general public opinion before, the stock price soared to 84 billion yen, but after Ma Tengdong held a press conference, public opinion was reversed, and the share price of Hitotsubashi Group fell to more than 81 billion yen again. However, it has fallen back, and there is no downward trend for the time being. After all, the sales of the latest three comic magazines have not fallen, and there is even a slight increase. Other publishing businesses are not easily affected by public opinion. Therefore, before the truth is completely revealed, the market value of Hitotsubashi Group will fluctuate, but it will not fall too much. "Do you have any idea?" Xia Yu closed the information and asked Wang Qi who was sitting opposite. Wang Qi said without hesitation: "I intend to short the Yiqiao Group! Such a good opportunity cannot be wasted, and it can also teach Yiqiao Group a lifelong lesson!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, you can figure it out!" "Are the funds ready?" Xia Yu asked casually. "Ready, in order to avoid exposure, the original foreign exchange funds were not used, and 3 billion yen was borrowed from Bank of Mitsubishi. The next step is to find another bank to allocate funds." Wang Qi replied in detail. Jiuding Securities and Galaxy Fund are the right and left hands of Xia Yu. Jiuding Securities has continued to raise funds during this period, and there are still more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity. When I learned that the foreign exchange market in the island country was profitable, I certainly did not give up. After excluding the funds originally planned and the company''s safety reserve funds, 400 million Hong Kong dollars were allocated for foreign exchange speculation. At that time, the island country entered the island country at an exchange rate of 241 points. The island country¡¯s USD/JPY exchange rate fluctuations have an impact on the island country¡¯s stock market, but the impact is relatively small. During the foreign exchange speculation, the financial leverage was 40 to 50 times. The amount of funds is huge and cannot be moved lightly. Moreover, if it is drawn out now, the future loss will be even greater, so Wang Qi thought of borrowing. It happened that when he was speculating in foreign exchange, he had a matching business relationship with the island country Mitsubishi Bank. This time he easily borrowed 3 billion yen, which is more than 10 million US dollars, which is not too big. But the money was borrowed by Mitsubishi Bank after all. If you use Mitsubishi Bank''s financial leverage again, it will be too ugly to eat, so Wang Qi plans to find another bank, which is relatively safer. 3 billion yen wants to short a company with a market value of more than 80 billion, it is too beautiful! The risk is too great! Must be allocated! After hearing this, Xia Yu was silent for a moment, and said to Wang Qi: "Go to Fukuhara Kazuya of Sanhe Bank and apply for ten times leverage." Wang Qi was taken aback, but without asking why, he nodded and replied, "Okay!" Xia Yu nodded slightly without explaining, there was naturally his plan. After all, the Sanhe Consortium is a behemoth, but it is not without the opportunity. Fukuhara Kazu is also an opportunity, but the two also have a relationship. Now this time it is the bait thrown by Xia Yu. As the saying goes, one is born and the other is mature. This is how friendships come out. After being mature, you can always find opportunities for cooperation. It depends on Fukuhara Kazuo not getting the bait! Afterwards, Wang Qi left for Sanhe Bank and, as the general manager of Jiuding Securities, easily met Kazuya Fukuhara. "Mr. Wang, hello!" "Mr. Fukuhara, nice meeting!" The two shook hands and greeted each other, and drank tea after they were seated. "Mr. Wang, I don''t know what you want to do with me?" Fukuhara and Kazuo also took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup gently, and asked with a smile, but wondered about Wang Qi''s intentions in his heart. Fukuhara Kazuo also became more and more curious about Xia Yu. The information collected contained Wang Qi''s information. He was Xia Yu''s left and right arm, and he was in charge of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., a proper senior. "Mr. Fukuhara, this time I came here through a reminder from our chairman to see if we have a chance to cooperate." Wang Qidan said with a smile. Hearing Xia Yu''s instruction, Fukuhara Kazuya''s eyes brightened, looking at Wang Qi expectantly, and said, "Please tell!" "Jiuding Securities is here for the first time and needs to find a bank in your country for long-term cooperation. I originally liked the Bank of Mitsubishi, but our chairman said that your bank is also good. I don''t know how much financial support your bank can give to our company?" After Wang Qi finished speaking, he took a sip from his teacup, but Yu Guang observed Fukuhara Kazuya''s expression. His words were just right. The name was the suggestion of the chairman, adding weight, showing the authenticity of our cooperation, and at the same time leaving room for him to use the Bank of Mitsubishi to remind Kazuya Fukuhara to get the most benefit. It turned out to be a long-term partner! Fukuhara Kazuya suddenly became energetic, and carefully considered it, and wanted to give a suitable answer. The most important and basic of the cooperation between securities companies and banks is to provide financial support. There are many securities companies and funds that have cooperated with Sanhe Bank in this area, but Jiuding Securities must treat it differently. After all, the background and record of Jiuding Securities cannot be underestimated. After thinking about it, Kazuya Fukuhara looked at Ma Tengdong and solemnly said: "Mr. Wang, thank you for your company and your chairman''s recognition of our bank. I also treat each other frankly and show the greatest sincerity." Wang Qi nodded, did not interrupt, looking forward to his next words. "My authority can grant up to 30 times of financial leverage, and the upper limit of a single capital allocation is 500 billion yen. I can give your company the highest authority!" Fukuhara Kazuya said categorically. Upon hearing this, Wang Qi couldn''t help but shrink his pupils, feeling greatly surprised. Good guy, you can give a quota of more than 2 billion US dollars in a single time. It seems that Fukuhara is really sincere! The bottom line is given directly! That being the case, there is no need to be wordy! Wang Qi stretched out his hand in Fukuhara Kazuya''s smile, and shook hands firmly with him: "Happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" A verbal agreement was reached, and after sitting down again, the relationship between the two became closer. Wang Qi said again: "Mr. Fukuhara, since we have reached an agreement, then I will no longer cover up." "This time, our company does not need your bank to provide 30 times leverage support. We have a principal of 3 billion yen. We hope that your bank will provide ten times leverage support no problem, when do we need it? " Fukuhara Kazuo also agreed without hesitation. Wang Qi looked at his watch and said, "There are still three hours before leaving get off work this afternoon. Is that okay today?" "Of course, I''ll get someone to arrange it now!" "Okay thank you!" After the negotiation, Wang Qi borrowed the phone number of Sanhe Bank and made a call back to the branch to ask the employees to bring the required materials. However, he himself went to the Bank of Mitsubishi to transfer 3 billion yen to Sanhe. The bank account is treated as the principal. Fukuhara Kazuya, the deputy general manager of the bank, handles all the processes with active cooperation. Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, 27 billion yen of funds were transferred by Sanhe Bank and put into the account of Jiuding Securities. So far, 30 billion yen ammunition is ready! When the matter was over, Wang Qi said goodbye. Kazuya Fukuhara enthusiastically put Wang Qi in the car and waved goodbye. Watching Wang Qi''s car go away, Kazuya Fukuhara reduced his smile and returned to the bank happily. Then he specifically called the employee who supervised the Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. account, and solemnly ordered. "Xia Yu is now at Jiuding Securities. This time he should be in control of the overall situation. Now he finally has the opportunity to see his methods with his own eyes. I don''t know which company will become the target?" "If it''s really amazing, haha..." Thinking of a fund company that he established alone with family funds, Kazuo Fukuhara couldn''t help but look forward to it.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 497: The spring breeze blows and the counterattack begins Thirty billion yen of funds was ready, and Jiuding Securities began to move that night. After all, shorting is different from longing. You have to borrow stocks and then repay them, or bet against stock holding institutions. The total market value of the First Bridge Group is only 80 billion yen. According to the current stock price, Jiuding Securities¡¯ 30 billion yen is enough to buy more than 35% of the equity. However, it is unrealistic to invest all the 30 billion yen in shorts. Not all institutions are willing to bet against Jiuding Securities, and the Aiga family holds 42% of the shares, and there are a number of shares in the hands of ordinary shareholders. In the hands of institutions, 40% is considered the highest! Among those who dare to bet against Jiuding Securities, apart from the firm belief that the stock price of Yiqiao Group will rise in the long-term, the institutions that intend to hold for the long-term are the institutions that intend to go long in the short term. For institutions that intend to hold stocks for a long time, they will have to wait a long time for stocks to be sold for a long time. As long as they don''t use high leverage, they don''t care about how the stock price fluctuates in the short term, unless they use high leverage and are squeezed out. If Jiuding Securities wants to short the gambling, this kind of institution is still willing to lend the stocks. Anyway, the stocks are idle and idle, so they will lend to Jiuding Securities for short-term shorting, and they will enjoy the interest. Why not make a fortune? If the stock price of Yiqiao Group really plummets in the short term, Jiuding Securities will also reap the money of ordinary shareholders. Anyway, they plan to hold it for a long time. As long as the position is not liquidated, it will be fine if it rises back later. In the event of a sluggish situation and not going back up, or if the position goes down, or if the institution suddenly loses confidence and sells the stock at a low price, then there will be a big loss. There are three types of enemies of Jiuding Securities, namely, the Aiga family, ordinary shareholders, and the most threatening institutions that want to go long in the short term! The Aiga family is the enemy, no matter what their reaction is, it is normal. The Aiga family is not a professional financial institution. At best, the means of resistance is to increase holdings and raise the stock price, and the lethality is not strong. As for ordinary investors? Wang Qi skipped it directly. The retailer killing the villager may happen, but the probability is too small, and it can also kill the small dealer. Retail investors want to Tu Jiuding Securities, the super market maker? Wang Qi can only say that night is not necessary. In fact, you can wash and sleep 24 hours a day, and you have everything in your dreams! As for the short-term long-term institutions that threaten the most? With a strong trump card, Wang Qi is not worried that those institutions that are long in the Yiqiao Group in the short term will come just in time and kill them to sacrifice the flag to Jiuding Securities! ... In the next few days, many shareholding institutions were very interested in Jiuding Securities'' short-selling agreement, so they agreed to lend their shares to Jiuding Securities. There are even two non-shareholding institutions that signed a gambling agreement with Jiuding Securities to help Jiuding Securities acquire shares. This risk is the greatest, and it is also the enemy of Jiuding Securities. Because these two institutions do not have stocks themselves, they are completely different from other institutions that bought at a low price long ago and intend to hold them for a long time. They are bought at a high price. If the stock price really plummets, as long as Jiuding Securities returns the stock to them, they will definitely lose money. The only way is to hold the stock of Yiqiao Group for a long time, and then sell it later to see if it can rise back to recover the loss. In less than three days, 28 billion yen of funds were all converted into stocks, leaving 2 billion yen for emergency stability maintenance. However, in the past three days, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. went around shorting the bet, and the gossip has begun to circulate. I believe it will be exposed in a few days. But Wang Qi no longer cares, or expect to be exposed. After all, the funds are already in place. If the news of his strong short selling is released, it will definitely have a huge impact on the stock price of Yiqiao Group, which is also beneficial to him! At this time, Xia Yu has three generals in the island country, and Ma Tengdong and Wang Qi are taking actions. Of course, Gavin Peter, who has a crazy acquisition factor in his bones, will not be idle. Chairman Xia Yu approved his acquisition plan and asked Jiuding Bank to give him financial support. Of course he has to do a lot. By the way, it can also help Ma Tengdong and Wang Qi. After all, if his work is done, it will definitely shake the publishing industry in the island country and will have a huge impact on the Yiqiao Group. Jiuding Book Publishing Company has long established a branch in the island country. It is not a branch in nature, but an independent subsidiary that is 100% owned by the parent company of Xiangjiang Jiuding Book Publishing. The island country M&A plan formulated by Gavin Peter has been implemented at a high speed. The bookstore at the end of the publishing industry chain has completed its preliminary layout, holding a 10% stake in the island country Kinokuniya Bookstore and a 10% stake in Junjiudo Bookstore. After that, it is the upstream layout of the publishing field! There are thousands of publishing houses on the island, but only the top 30 can be put into the eyes of Gavin Peter. In the top 30, there are many independent publishing houses. After some screening, Gavin Peter has selected the most suitable combination of acquisition targets. As long as the acquisition is completed, all types of books can be published and Jiuding Books can be published. The company became a comprehensive publishing company and rushed into the camp of the island''s third largest publishing company, posing a huge threat to Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group. There are five publishers selected for acquisition. They are the eighth-ranked Xueyan Publishing House. They mainly publish educational books, including various magazines, children''s books, dictionaries, textbooks, and reference books. Treasure Island News Agency, ranked tenth, is a general comprehensive publishing house that mainly publishes magazines, novels and picture books, especially novel publishing. It ranks in the top three in the entire island country and is very distinctive. The thirteenth-ranked Japanese company of industry is also a general general publishing house, with a wide range of publishing types, from reference books to comics, from art to divination, and it is famous for travel books. Yamato Library, ranked 18th, mainly publishes spiritual inspiration, women, practical life, and history books. The last one is Pingfansha, ranked 28th, which mainly publishes encyclopedias, illustrated books, memorials, annual reports and other books. The five publishing houses are all unlisted private companies, but the equity is not a single one, and there is a lot of room for maneuverability. To acquire five publishing houses, one by one is the most stupid way. Smart people will spend money on services to save time, and then use the time saved to make more money. Therefore, Gavin Peter went directly to the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, the most powerful island country bank, and commissioned it to carry out a leveraged buyout. This method saves the most cash and is also very popular with Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi because in addition to the acquisition service fee , Can also make Jiuding Book Publishing Company become a loan customer. While Gavin Peter was busy merging publishing houses, the news that One Bridge Group was shorted by huge capital was finally exposed, and the stock price fell. Hitotsubashi Group, which was already in the whirlpool of public opinion, was maliciously shorted at this time. It immediately attracted the attention of the majority of capital. Especially Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. did not hide it, and stood directly at the front desk. This was a bigger sensation. Jiuding Securities Company surges here. As for the headquarters of Hitotsubashi Group, Saga Kangping''s face was dripping with gloomy expression. "stupid!" "Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has acted on our stock price to help Jiuding Animation. Now that the stock price has fallen, what should we do?" Aiga Ichiro said angrily, but he couldn''t hide the panic in his heart. The state and mood of Aiga Yasuhei and Aiga Suzutaro are not much better than Aiga Ichiro. They also didn''t expect that the counterattack would come from the stock market, and they started so hard, they would directly short their group. "We must stand up to it. Now the enemy just wants to oppress us and we are in chaos. As long as we win, the stock price will definitely rebound strongly, and Jiuding Securities will lose money by then." Aiga Kangping took a deep breath and said solemnly. "That''s the truth!" "But we have to make preparations to raise funds to avoid the enemy''s fake short-selling real acquisitions, that would be troublesome!" Aiga Ichiro calmed down a little, and said with a heavy heart. Aiga Yasuhei and Aiga Suzutaro immediately agreed, thinking that the Aiga family only holds 42% of the shares of the group, and I feel uneasy. "One more thing, Jiuding Animation wants us to admit our mistakes and compensate for the losses, otherwise we will file a lawsuit with the Tokyo Tribunal I don''t know if they really dare or simply scare us." At this moment, Aiga Suzutaro said suddenly. As soon as these words came out, Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Kangping were silent, and they beat the drums in their hearts, they really couldn''t guess. But if Jiuding Animation really filed a lawsuit, after judicial intervention, it would really be time to fight the bayonet. Except for the lawyer, it would be real evidence. But is the current evidence really enough? Both Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Yasuhiro had no idea. At this moment, they suddenly felt a little regret. If they hadn''t copied it so obviously, it would have been better to underestimate the enemy... ... As the saying goes, the more you worry, the more you worry! Several members of the Aiga family are still wondering whether Jiuding Animation dare to file a lawsuit, and Ma Tengdong will use actual actions to tell them! When he learned that Jiuding Securities was shorting Yiqiao Group strongly, Ma Tengdong was excited and smelled the signal of counterattack. It''s time to assist each other! Jiuding Securities has already started, and it''s his turn! Ma Tengdong did not hesitate, and without a word, he took people to the Tokyo Tribunal to formally file a lawsuit against the Hitotsubashi Group! Because of the vortex of public opinion, there are always many reporters squatting at the door of Jiuding Animation, watching the every move of Jiuding Animation, hoping to get valuable and hot news. When he followed Ma Tengdong and saw Ma Tengdong stepping into the Tokyo Court, all the reporters who followed went crazy, pressing the shutter crazily to take this important moment! All reporters know that the battle between the two companies has worsened at this moment! The process of uncovering the truth has begun. PS: The record of one hundred thousand recommended votes, Guiqiu the big guys for their support, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 498: Want to annex 1 Bridge Group? (2 Tokyo is located on the east coast of the island country. The climate is a typical subtropical maritime monsoon climate. November and February are when there is a lot of precipitation. Yesterday, the sky in Tokyo was still blue, but today it was overcast with heavy rain, and the atmosphere of the whole city was a little depressed. Pedestrians on the street hurriedly walked to their homes. The outside world is overcast, and the Aiga family hall is not different. At this time, Aiga Yasuhei, Aiga Ichiro, and Aiga Suzutaro knelt down on the tatami and looked at the subpoena with the red seal of the Tokyo court on the table. They all looked gloomy, and the room was filled with solemn gloom. breath. For a long time, as the head of the family, Kangping Aiga broke the repressive silence: "Jiuding Animation really appealed and there is no way out. You said, what should I do?" Aiga Suzutaro, who originally disagreed with the strong suppression, moved his lips slightly, but finally saw nothing but sighed slightly, turning his attention to Aiga Ichiro, who had previously strongly suppressed Jiuding Animation. Although they are all a family, the responsibilities still need to be distinguished. The main responsibility for this matter is not in him, and he has no other way. So don''t take the initiative and let the "more capable" people take the lead! Aiga Ichiro''s slightly lost gaze withdrew from the summons, and subconsciously looked at the two Aiga Kanghei, only to find that both of them were looking straight at him. He suddenly felt that there was a mountain on his back and he could not breathe well. "Oh..." Aiga Ichiro took a deep breath, gritted his teeth tightly, making a terrifying sound of grinding his teeth, and his temples on both sides bulged up. Obviously, he was very angry at this time. But no matter how irritated he was, he was still hiding the panic in his heart. Step by step and wrong step, until it evolves to the point where it is impossible to end, if I knew it, Ichiro Aiga would never have copied it so obviously. He spent a lot of thought on research and copied the essence of comics instead of making it. Similar outlines and settings, etc. But the matter is now, no amount of regret is useless. Faced with a dilemma, smart people will only find ways to solve the problem as soon as possible. Aiga Ichiro is naturally a wise man, so he immediately cleared up his regrets and contemplated. As time passed by, Aiga Ichiro stretched his brows slightly, and said to the two Aiga Yasuhiro: "Now the only way is to use patents. As long as the patent is filed, the black ones can become white. It''s useless!" Aiga Kangping took a deep breath and could only agree. He thought for a while and asked: "Which stage is the patent application? Does Nakahartsov have any reply? When can the application approval process be completed at the earliest?" Ichiro Aiga immediately replied: "I asked him when I came, and now there are only the final approval procedures. If you speed up the progress, as long as there is no accident in the middle, the patent can be applied for at most five days!" As soon as this remark came out, Aiga Kangping''s heart tightened. Five days were too rushed. Of course, Aiga Kangping was irritated by the enthusiasm of the Tokyo court, which made them so passive. During normal work before, the Tokyo Tribunal was not so active. According to the laws of the island country, under normal circumstances, after the court (ie the court, the island country is called the tribunal) accepts the case, the defendant must be served a summons within one week. But what made Aiga Kanghei feel disgusting is that it should have been influenced by public opinion. This time the Tokyo Court was so fast that the case was accepted during the day, and the summons was served to them on the same day. After they learned that Jiuding Animation went to lawsuit, only a few hours later, the summons was sent. They didn''t have the time to prepare, and they were caught off guard. According to the law of the island country, the time limit for the trial of a case is that the summons shall be issued within the trial period. The longest period is three months for simple procedures and six months for ordinary procedures. However, the Tokyo referee directly wrote on the subpoena, using an ultra-short time limit, and the court will be held in five days! This time is too tight! It''s just the time to get the patent, or five days if there is no accident. What if there is an accident? Aiga Kangping was very nervous. He thought for a while and told Aiga Ichiro: "Ichiro, the court will be held in five days. The time is too tight. You must hurry up to urge Chunsuo to approve it within three days. We will give it all at any price!" "Yes!" Aiga Ichiro nodded heavily, his expression very serious. At this moment, Aiga Kanghei saw Aiga Suzutaro, who had been silent, and found that his brows were frowned and he was lost in thought, as if he was troubled by the problem. Aiga Kanghei asked concerned: "Suzutaro, what''s the matter with you?" Aiga Suzutaro raised his head, looked at Aiga Kanghei, then at Aiga Ichiro, and said quietly, "I can''t figure it out a little bit, I always feel something is wrong." "What''s wrong?" Aiga Ichiro asked quickly, and Aiga Yasuhiro also looked at him scorchingly. Aiga Suzutaro shook his head in distress and said, "After our press conference, Jiuding Animation should know that our patent is being applied for. Why are they indifferent? Isn''t it strange?" Hearing this question, Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Kangping were awakened immediately. The two looked at each other, and both couldn''t help swallowing, with an unknown premonition in their hearts. Aiga Ichiro seemed to be a firm conviction for himself. He frowned and said to himself: "It''s definitely okay. I asked Nakaharu Tsuo. Jiuding Animation has not filed any patent applications. It is impossible for them to take out the patent of the island country, absolutely impossible!" "sure?" Aiga Kangping said with some worry. Aiga Ichiro nodded without hesitation and said, "I''m pretty sure. I have asked Nakaharu Tsao again and again. He asked him to check all the publications and comics-related patents this year, and none of them match!" "That''s why we thought about it, Suzutaro, don''t worry." Seeing Aiga Ichiro''s confirmation, Aiga Yasuhei let out a sigh and said to Aiga Suzutaro with a smile. However, Aiga Suzutaro remained unmoved, still frowned, still feeling confused. "No, right? Since Jiuding Animation dared to continue opening stores and dared to take the initiative to file a lawsuit with the Tokyo Tribunal, they absolutely have the belief in victory, so they must have sufficient evidence to prove their copyright and believe that they can win the lawsuit." "Thinking about it in another way, if I am Ma Tengdong, and if we apply for an island country patent, then what hole cards are more useful than an island country patent?" Thinking of this, Aga Suzutaro''s alarm clock flashed a flash of lightning, and he blurted out: "International patents?!" "What international patent?" Hearing Aiga Suzutaro''s words blurted out, Aiga Ichiro was startled by his startled movements, and he subconsciously chanted again before he could react. But immediately, he reacted, his face changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "International patents registered in the United States?" "Probably not, the people of Xiangjiang have very weak patent awareness, especially in the comics industry, which belong to cultural copyrights. It would be good if they would register Xiangjiang''s patents. Why would they spend so much effort and energy to register international patents?" Aiga Ichiro said questioningly, but it was more useful to cheer himself up, and he didn''t have the confidence to speak. "It''s hard to tell!" "If Jiuding Animation really has an international patent, then we will be invalidated even if we have an island patent." Aiga Suzutaro said solemnly and stabbed Aiga Ichiro again. "But it''s not right. If Jiuding Animation has an international patent, the Island State Patent Office will definitely not pass our patent application. It is impossible for Nakahartsov to remind us that no matter how much money is given to him, he will not have the courage to do this! " Aiga Ichiro retorted, subconsciously not wanting this to happen. "This¡­¡­" Aiga Suzutaro was speechless for a while. Aiga Kanghei couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, he interrupted the argument between the two directly, and said impatiently: ¡°Stop fighting, we must not be clear about international patents and island patents. Ichiro, you call Nakaharusa now. Husband, ask him this question clearly." "Ok!" Aiga Ichiro left the word, got up and went to the table immediately, picked up the phone and dialed a number. While waiting, Aiga Ichiro felt like living a year. Soon, the phone was connected, and Nakaharu Tsao¡¯s voice came from the receiver. Aiga Ichiro was not wordy, and said bluntly: "Nakaharu-kun, I am Aiga Ichiro, I have an urgent matter to find out with you." "Can you be sure whether the four comics "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Pokemon" and "Douro Land" have registered international patents?" ... "What? Are you not sure? Why?" ... "Okay, I know!" After listening to Nakaharuzov''s words on the phone, Aiga Ichiro''s face suddenly became gloomy, he took a deep breath, and suppressed his inner anxiety and restlessness. "Jun Chung, regardless of the other things, I will give you another 10 million. Please be sure to help me approve the patent within three days. I want to see the patent certificate." "¡­¡­it is good!" "please!" After speaking, Aiga Ichiro hung up and returned to the tatami with a heavy heart. "What did Nakaharu Zuofu say?" Aiga Kangping quickly asked with concern. "Zhongchun Zuofu said that he helped us go to other departments to check international patents, but did not find any international patents related to "Dragon Ball." When Aiga Yasuhei breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask why Aiga Ichiro was still so heavy, he was scared again by Aiga Ichiro''s words. "but!" "Nakaharuzov also said that in the international patent department in Washington, U.S. ghosts and animals are very slow in handling matters, and each time they cannot connect international patents with other countries in time, so Nakahartsov told me that there must be a number of international patents. It has not been connected with the island country patent office. As for whether there are any patents related to "Dragon Ball", he is not sure!" "He reminded me that the island countries signed the "Patent Cooperation Treaty". If there is a corresponding international patent, then the international patent shall prevail. Even if the island country patent office approves us, it will be invalid!" As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down. Whether there are international patents or not, only the International Patent Department and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. know about it. Even the island country patent office does not know it. They are even more unlikely to know. Now I can only hope that there are no so-called international patents, otherwise they will lose the last hole card to resist, and they will definitely lose a mess! Finally, as the head of the family, Kangping Aiga made the decision. He gritted his teeth and said: "Whether there is or not, this is not something we can control. We can only hope that there is no international patent, and then we will get the island country patent!" After speaking, Xianghe Kangping was silent for a while, then slowly said: "But we have to prepare for the worst. If we really fail, with the current public opinion situation, our stock price will definitely plummet! Be prepared..." Both Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Ruztaro nodded heavily, and even Ichiro Aiga didn''t know what else to say. ... As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy. As the only super giant in the publishing and comics industry in the island country, the Otowa Group and Hitotsubashi Group have fought against each other many times, and they have long known the Hitotsubashi Group. During the internal discussions of the Aiga family, Otowa Group also received news that Jiuding Animation sued Hitotsubashi Group, and then urgently held a secret board meeting. Although Otowa Group and Hitotsubashi Group have similar strengths, the management structure of the group is completely different from that of Hitotsubashi Group. Hitotsubashi Group can be said to be a family-owned company, founded by the Aiga family, until it was listed as the dominant one, and has always implemented the will of the Aiga family. But the Otowa Group is different. It is a public enterprise with multiple shareholders, and the majority shareholder does not have much more equity than other shareholders. The group management is selected by the board of directors based on a combination of capabilities and relationships. Relatively speaking, Otowa Group¡¯s management capabilities are stronger than Hitotsubashi Group, so it can catch up step by step when it falls behind a lot at the beginning, and even make Kodansha the number one publishing house in the island. At this time, the chairman of the Otowa Group was Xiongta Shiba, not the founder of the Music Group, but to rely on capital to become the largest shareholder with outstanding ability, and also served as the president of the Otowa Group. In the small meeting room of the Otowa Group, seven directors gathered together. Shii Shengxiong took the lead and said to the other directors: "Everyone should know that Jiuding Animation has gone to the Tokyo Court to sue Hitotsubashi Group, and the Tokyo Court has served. Subpoena." Watanabe Akihito, the second largest shareholder in the second place, couldn''t help but smile: "The Aiga family has caused a big trouble, it''s going to be bad luck, haha!" "Yes, just to blame them for being so black-hearted and so stupid." "Hey, I have been the boss for too long, and I have lost my vigilance! It really shames our island people!" ... The other directors spoke with each other in a gloating tone. This is also normal. In terms of the strength of a publishing house alone, Kodansha surpasses any one of Elementary School, Shueisha, and Hakusensha. However, in terms of overall strength, Hitotsubashi Group is stronger and has been pressing on their Otowa Group~www.novelhall .com~They must be upset after many years. Of course I was happy to see the Yiqiao Group collapsed. With their height and knowledge of Hitotsubashi Group, of course, it is known that Hitotsubashi Group copied Jiuding Animation. If Hitotsubashi Group created these four comics, it would have been issued long ago! And given the personalities of the old rivals in the Aiga family, they must have applied for patent rights before the release. Where can they be delayed until now? The only blame is the Yiqiao Group''s wild goose hunting all day long, but it was finally pecked by the wild goose! "Well, there is no need to say this, let''s talk about what we should do next?" Chai Shengxiong interrupted the discussion too much, turned the topic around and asked. Everyone immediately calmed down and thought about it. Watanabe Akihito said: "I am not optimistic about the Yiqiao Group. Now their stocks have been strongly shorted by Jiuding Animation. I specifically went to learn about Jiuding Securities. Jiuding Securities is the top stock market in Xiangjiang. The company is very famous and has never failed since its establishment. I think this time, the One Bridge Group can''t stand it! It is inevitable that the stock price will plummet!" "In that case, we might as well acquire a part of the shares of the First Bridge Group. If we can annex the First Bridge Group, that would be great!" Speaking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Watanabe''s eyes. All other directors'' eyes lit up, and they were obviously tempted by Watanabe''s proposal. The Yiqiao Group has been pressing on them, and their Otowa Group keeps catching up if they can acquire the Yiqiao Group. Do not! Even if you hold a part of the equity of the First Bridge Group and become a director with full power, you can seize the initiative and cannibalize the First Bridge Group step by step. Finally, there is no chance of annexation! Thinking of this, the hearts of several directors thumped wildly, and what''s more, they couldn''t help licking their lips. Chapter 499: Sleepy give pillow Sitting at the top, Shiba Shengyuta saw the changes in the expressions of everyone present, gave Watanabe Akihito vaguely, and asked everyone, "What do you think?" "I think it is feasible. Even if it cannot exceed the shareholding of the Aiga family, if it can hold 20% of the equity, it will be enough to contain the Yiqiao Group, and it is not impossible to even split the Yiqiao Group!" "Yes, and with the current situation, it is feasible to acquire the shares of the First Bridge Group. If it is a normal period, even if we have money, others will not necessarily sell it. We cannot miss this opportunity." "But we are not sure how far the share price of the Hitotsubashi Group will fall. The Aiga family will definitely increase their shareholding to ensure control of the Hitotsubashi Group. We have to buy before them, otherwise they will increase their holdings to 51%. , Even if we hold 49%, it¡¯s useless!" "The normal market value of the Hitotsubashi Group is more than 80 billion yen, which is 20 billion yen higher than our company. Even if the stock price plummets, we want to acquire, but we can only hope that we will purchase stocks with full funds, and capital and stock mergers and acquisitions. It is impossible to succeed, where will our funds come from?" ... Everyone basically agreed with this plan, but a few people thought more and raised some worries. No matter what the directors here say, Mrs. Chai Shengxiong did not express his position, but listened quietly, and already had a general context in his heart. "Flap!" "Well, everyone, be quiet!" Mr. Chai Shengxiong clapped his palms, and everyone calmed down immediately and cast their eyes on him. "I also understand everyone''s attitude. For Watanabe-kun¡¯s proposal, I think it is feasible. Then it is determined that the acquisition of the shares of the Hitotsubashi Group can become the largest shareholder. If not, you must become a real shareholder. Check and balance the Xianghe family." After Mrs. Chai Shengxiong finished speaking, everyone nodded. "Then we will discuss how to implement this plan!" "The worries you raised must be resolved one by one, first of all, the issue of funding." "Now there is only 2.84 billion in circulating funds within the group. At least 1 billion yuan is needed to maintain the normal operation of the group, and the remaining available funds are only 1.84 billion. This fund is far from enough, so we must raise funds!" After Mrs. Chai Shengxiong finished speaking, one of the directors immediately said: "Then find a bank loan!" As soon as this remark came out, Watanabe Akihito¡¯s words directly blocked his proposal: "Now the group¡¯s debt has reached 42 billion, and the debt ratio has reached 68% or more. Even if the bank loan can be passed, the maximum is Just take another 10 billion loan, these funds are not enough!" The director who proposed the proposal was stunned, and then fell silent. The expressions of the other directors changed a little, their eyes exchanged, and no one said anything. After Akihito Watanabe finished speaking, his meaning is obvious. Since he can''t find bank loans, he can only raise funds by issuing new shares. If their directors don''t want the equity to be diluted, they can only spend a lot of money. But each of them has other businesses, and suddenly they have to spend such a large sum of money. The difficulty and pressure are undoubtedly huge, and it will definitely affect other businesses to a certain extent, which makes them hesitate. The atmosphere in the meeting room quieted down for a moment. Shii Shengxiong swept across everyone''s faces blankly, and finally cast it on Watanabe Akihito. Since this proposal was made by him, he was naturally asked to express his position. Watanabe Akihito and Shiba Oita looked at each other, smiled indifferently, and said loudly to everyone: "I know it is very difficult to ask everyone to come up with a large sum of money suddenly, so why not, let us issue additional shares and raise one hundred 100 million yuan of funds, and then ask the bank to help leverage the purchase of stocks, so that everyone¡¯s pressure is even less, I don¡¯t know what you want?" "This method is not bad, the pressure will be much less, and the funds allocated to me will be more than 2 billion. Of course, if you pay less, it doesn''t matter if I pay more." After Watanabe Akihito finished speaking, Shiba Yuta directly set the tone, and there was something in the words. The faces of several directors who were barely present at the back of the shareholding ratio changed. If they did not participate in the issuance of new shares, their shareholding would be less than 5% after the recalculation of the shareholding, and they would lose their seats on the directors. How can this be done? Therefore, these directors immediately agreed. "I don''t have any comments, I will invest proportionally!" "Although there is pressure, only five or six billion in funds can still be obtained." "I agree to contribute!" "it is good!" Chai Shengxiong nodded with a smile, and looked at the other directors who had not yet expressed their views. Since most people have agreed, and the temptation to acquire the Yiqiao Group is quite big, the directors agreed despite the pressure. "I have no opinion¡­¡­" ... After a round of expressions, everyone agreed. Chai Shengxiong smiled satisfied and said: "The situation is urgent, so give everyone two days. Be sure to prepare the funds. The group will go to the Securities Regulatory Commission to approve the non-public issuance of new shares. ." "Kun Watanabe, the bank needs to trouble you to contact me!" "no problem!" Watanabe Akihito answered without hesitation. "Ok!" "The problem of fund-raising has been solved, and that is the matter of acquiring equity. Let''s first go to a securities company. It must be strong, and we must grab more equity before the Aiga family increases its shares..." ... Next, the board meeting of Otowa Group was held until 11 o''clock in the evening, and all the planning procedures were listed in detail, and the specific division of labor and time limit were also clearly divided. As for Jiuding Animation Company, no one mentioned how to deal with it. After all, although Jiuding Animation is threatening in the comics industry Military Manke''s weekly circulation will even surpass that of Kodansha''s Weekly Shonen MAGAZINE, but there is only one comic. The business scope of Otowa Group covers all fields of the publishing industry, and comics are only part of it. Besides, Jiuding Animation has a threat, and it has not surpassed them. The Yiqiao Group, which has suppressed them for so many years, is the top priority. As for the national justice and the face of island country comics promoted by the Hitotsubashi Group, what is that? Is it important to have real benefits? As long as their plan is successful, Yiqiao Group will be under their weight. Jiuding Animation is a shit! The plan was announced, and the Otowa Group, the leader of the publishing industry in the island country, instantly moved. In the next few days, Jiuding Securities Company was monitoring the stock price of Yiqiao Group in an orderly manner. A batch of stocks have been sold at high prices, but with that, the share price of One Bridge Group has fallen. Although there is still a large stock in his hand, Wang Qi is not nervous at all. This stock is ammunition, and of course it will not be thrown out when the stock price hits the lowest price. As for the buyer? After several rounds of internal deductions, Wang Qi already knew that he would never worry about not being able to sell it. What he should worry about is how to copy the stocks back at low prices. This is the point. A few days later, just as Wang Qi was depleting his brain cells, a cryptic news refreshed him. Otowa Group raises 10 billion yen in non-public offering of new shares! At this critical moment, the move of the Otowa Group, the second largest publishing company in the island country, is undoubtedly very dazzling. Smart as Wang Qi, he instantly understood Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of the Otowa Group and others, he couldn''t help but laugh with his palm. "If you want to fall asleep, bring a pillow, okay! Haha!" Chapter 500: Win "You want me to make wedding dresses for you. Have you asked me if I agree?" "If I don''t stand firm, I really think I can talk? In that case, I can''t blame me for starting with you. One is to clean up, and the two are to clean up!" "It just happened to save me the trouble of buying stocks everywhere!" Wang Qi said with a sneer, and he immediately ordered something in an anxious manner, and his subordinates went down and implemented it with energy. "Haha~" ... When Wang Qi got the news, it was impossible for the Aiga family not to know. When he learned that the Otowa Group had raised 10 billion yuan, Aiga Kangping who was in the office suddenly yelled, and even smashed his beloved antique cup. This shows that he Anger. After the anger, Aiga Yasuhei once again called Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Suzutaro to discuss. The trio of the Aiga family was already as big as a fight. At this time, the Otowa Group was preparing to take advantage of the fire. How could they not be angry? But there is no way, I can only find a way to deal with it. Since my family knows their own affairs, it will be okay for the Yiqiao Group to make money in the short term, and originally planned to increase its holdings to maintain the stock price, so naturally it must be more determined at this time. Don''t win the lawsuit when the time comes, but a tiger enters the group. That''s the worst! Which one is more important, one-time pain and one-life pain? The Aiga family trio can still distinguish! After the Aiga family decided, they wanted to preemptively increase their shareholding to more than 51%, which eliminated the sinister thoughts of the Otowa Group. Reflected in the stock market, it is a sharp increase in buying orders! Not only did Jiuding Securities, which monitored in real time, learned of this sign, the Otowa Group, which had already started, also knew it for the first time, and was forced to raise the price to make money. The high cost is high. As long as the strategic plan can be successful, the benefits that can be obtained are long-term, and the temporary high cost can always be earned back. The two parties fought, and the share price of Yiqiao Group rose against the trend. But Wang Qi didn''t care. Instead, he took this opportunity to continue placing sell orders, with sufficient ammunition, and then selling a batch of stocks at a high price to cover money! Even Wang Qi did not refuse to send a representative from the Otowa Group to purchase the equity in his hands. He directly sold a part of it at a high price, and the province was thrown into the stock market and taken away by Yiqiao. The best time to suppress the stock price has not yet come. It is the most stupid and the most costly action that does not combine the weather and the overall situation, and it is the most stupid and the most costly. Wang Qi is not so stupid! As time passed, the influence of Jiuding Animation¡¯s appeal further fermented. The ratings of the "Dragon Ball" animation broadcast by Japanese TV have been rising steadily, and it has ranked first in the island country''s animation ratings. Seeing the benefits of Chiguoka, Nippon Television was naturally reluctant. Sakurai Yusuke specifically called Ma Tengdong. With Ma Tengdong''s absolute guarantee, Nippon Television was relieved. Subsequently, Japanese TV station reported the Shangfeng Yomiuri Shimbun Group, which has the largest-selling daily newspaper "Yomiuri Shimbun" in the island country, and its domestic daily circulation reached 8 million sales. "Yomiuri Shimbun" is a weather vane. With the considerable and fair report of "Yomiuri Shimbun", the public opinion of the island country has been reversed, and it has even become disadvantageous to the Hitotsubashi Group. Soon, it came to the day of the trial. Early in the morning, before the Tokyo Tribunal went to work, reporters from major media squatted at the door. As soon as he got off the car, the justice in charge of the trial, Hidero Yoshikawa, was recognized by reporters from major media, and then he was surrounded. It took a lot of effort before Yoshikawa Hideo escaped. After entering the court, he touched the sweat on his forehead and said with some rejoicing: "Fortunately, the court opened early. The media criticized." Suddenly thinking of the case that is about to open in more than an hour, Yoshikawa Hideo thought of the evidence submitted by both sides, and could not help but shook his head slightly, revealing an inexplicable look. As time passed by, major media and notaries began to enter the venue, and Ma Tengdong also came to the position of the plaintiff on behalf of Jiuding Animation. As for the defendant''s Hitotsubashi Group, it was not Ichiro Aiga, but the president Kanghei Aiga standing in the dock. His eyes were facing each other, and Sanghe Kangping was expressionless, but his eyes inevitably showed a heavy color. And Ma Tengdong looked relaxed, even with a smile on the corners of his mouth. Such an obvious gap was seen by the reporters at the conference. How could they miss the opportunity and immediately press the shutter to shoot. "Boom!" "quiet!" As time went by, Hidero Yoshikawa, who was sitting on the trial bench, took a hammer and knocked, and the court instantly became quiet. In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtroom became solemn and solemn. Next, began to read the corresponding procedures, and then directly entered the trial stage. "The plaintiff represents Mr. Ma Tengdong, please state your side..." "The defendant representative Mr. Xianghe Kangping, please report your testimony..." ... After the procedure was completed, everyone present had a detailed concept in their hearts, which fully demonstrated the fairness of the referee. "Before the trial, both the plaintiff and the defendant have provided corresponding evidence. According to the internal deliberations of the trial team, this court announces the preliminary results of the trial, and this court announces!" As Yoshikawa Hideo said this expressionlessly, almost everyone present was breathless, especially Aiga Kanghei, with his fists clenched, and his heart was obviously extremely unstable. On the contrary, it was Ma Tengdong, his expression still relaxed, this scene was seen by Xianghe Kangping, and his heart was even more unfounded. When everyone was looking forward to it, Hideo Yoshikawa announced the result loudly without delay. "The plaintiff wins!" "Wow..." "how is this possible!" "It turned out that Jiuding Animation won the case. What evidence did it provide?" "Don''t worry, since the court pronounces the verdict in this way, it will definitely announce the corresponding evidence next, and then look down." "Snapshot, Aihe Kangping''s face is pale, this shot is too classic to miss!" "Kaka..." As Hideo Yoshikawa announced the preliminary results of the trial, the justice seat instantly exploded. The other notaries are okay, but because this case is a storm of public opinion, a lot of media have come. Although they have been relatively restrained, they still seem a little confused. Yoshikawa Hidero was a little laissez-faire at first, seeing that there was no stopping trend, he could only pick up the hammer again to calm the courtroom. "The defendant, if you have any objections, please provide a defense!" Hideo Yoshikawa looked at Aiga Yasuhei, who had been anxiously trying to explain, and said blankly. "Dear judge, we do not approve of the verdict,..." The barrister invited by Aiga Kangping immediately defended. But then, as the trial team uncovered the evidence provided by both sides one by one, the atmosphere in the court kept changing. What Kangping Aiga provided was a domestic patent in an island country. The time for the patent approval was two days ago. When it was taken out, some reporters obviously scorned it. However, when displaying the international patents provided by Jiuding Animation that had been granted a few months ago, Aiga Kangping turned pale and blurted out: "Impossible!" "Wow!" "The international patent turns out to be an international patent!" ¡°The Yiqiao Group won the island country¡¯s patent, but the international patent shall prevail. The island country¡¯s patent will naturally become invalid. I don¡¯t know what the island country¡¯s patent office is doing. The bridge group has approved the patent, there is absolutely a problem, it must be exposed!" "Yes, this is big news. The transaction of power and wealth involves the entrapment of foreign businessmen. Even if we do not report, the newspapers of Jiuding News will report it." "It''s a pity, hey..." ... The evidence was announced, and Xianghe Kangping had no chance of overturning. The trial team rejected the request of the Yiqiao Group for another appeal in court, and directly announced that the verdict was upheld and the case was directly closed. As the Tokyo Tribunal announced the end of the trial, Ma Tengdong was surrounded by a lot of media and won. Of course, Ma Tengdong responded enthusiastically to the major media and expressed his victory speech. As for Kangping Aiga, he was also surrounded by a large group of media, but he was so confused that he wanted to face the media, so he pushed away the layers of enclosure and rushed to Yiqiao Group. Afterwards, the results of the trial spread throughout the island country like flying, and public opinion changed drastically in an instant, and overwhelming accusations were thrown on the Yiqiao Group. As for Jiuding Animation, it has received various proofs and evaluations, and Ma Tengdong is already ready to contribute to the major media. Especially the first "Yomiuri Shimbun", for its own benefit, also touted Jiuding Animation, and Jiuding Animation''s reputation once again soared. And the share price of Yiqiao Group fell at the same time, and the decline could not be stopped! PS: The second update is over. Others are on holiday today, but I was forced to work overtime. It was late and it was delayed until now. Sorry. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 501: Do not touch things that cannot be moved (2 "The thief still catches the thief! One Bridge Group-a shameless model! "This is a report by "Jiuding Daily". "Stock price plummeted! Yiqiao Group paid a heavy price for its actions! "This is a report from the island country "The Asahi Shimbun". "One Bridge Group loses the lawsuit, only innovation is the only way out! "This is a report from the island country "Yomiuri Shimbun". ... For a time, major newspapers reported the latest relevant information and interpreted it from various angles. Since the Hitots Bridge Group also held a press conference in a straightforward manner, and set off a public opinion offensive, placing itself in the position of a victim, it attracted the sympathy and support of many people. But the result turned out to be so reversed. I don''t know how many islanders were hit in the face. The more thoroughly supported the First Bridge Group before, the more angry it is at this time, and the reputation of the First Bridge Group is directly lousy. Many people even called for the One Bridge Group to pay the price! Winners and losers, losers'' fate has always been tragic. After the Tokyo Tribunal¡¯s trial, Hitotsubashi Group must delete all the plagiarized comics serialized in the three magazines, and compensate Ma Tengdong and Jiuding Animation for spiritual loss, reputation loss, and actual social impact and economic losses, totaling 2 billion days. yuan. Huge compensation costs are one thing, and Yiqiao Group can''t afford it, and must be compensated! The sales of the three comic magazines of Jiyingsha, Xiaoxueguan and Baiquansha directly plummeted because of word-of-mouth problems. Among them, there are reasons why passerby fans deliberately resisted, and there is also the result of competition and robbing of customers after "Mild Friends" became famous throughout the island. Originally, the overall quality of the comics of "Zhiyin Manke" was better than that of "Weekly Shonen Jump", etc. What was lacking was the promotion of fermentation and word of mouth, this time directly catalyzed this originally slow process and made "Zhiyin Manke" known to everyone. . Coupled with the issue of word-of-mouth comparison, the sales of comic magazines under the Hitotsubashi Group have fallen. In addition to these, the most eye-catching is the share price of Hitotsubashi Group, which plummeted to 73 billion yen, and the downward trend is still rapid. And it must also be considered that Jiuding Securities has not hit the market yet. If Jiuding Securities intervenes, the stock price will only plummet more violently. While the Yiqiao Group and the Xianghe family were very busy, Ma Tengdong continued to beat the dog in the water, and reaped the fruits of victory. This time, "Friends Manke" is truly known to all the island countries, and it has a completely positive reputation. With Hitotsubashi Group as a negative background wall, even the first-selling comics "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY", the second-ranked "Weekly Shonen JUMP", and the fifth-ranked "Flower and Dream" all copied "Zhiyin Manke", No reader is not curious about what the comics on "Zhiyin Manke" look like. In particular, Hitotsubashi Group also gave an assist to "Zhiyin Manke". Originally, Hitotsubashi Group plagiarized the four major comics. Although it was changed, with the help of Hitotsubashi Group''s huge comic magazine platform, it has attracted the interest of a large number of readers. At this time, the plagiarized comics were forced to be cut off, and these readers could only come to find the original genuine products, which led a large number of fan readers to "Zhiyin Manke", and many of them became "Zhiyin Manke". Loyal readers. Because at the time of the Tokyo Tribunal¡¯s trial, it was already the last three days of the week for the sales of "Milk Manke" comics, so despite the skyrocketing sales volume, it did not rise too much. The weekly circulation only rushed to 2.24 million copies, making it the No. Throne of three. After the latest issue of "Zhiyin Manke" was released, sales were extremely hot. I believe this week, sales will definitely exceed 2.24 million copies. Sure enough, in the second week, the weekly circulation of Zhiyin Manke skyrocketed again, directly reaching 2.55 million copies, surpassing "Weekly Shonen Jump" which had fallen to 2.43 million copies, ranking second. Following the first "Weekly Youth SUNDAY", Ma Tengdong called this battle worthwhile! Of course, compared to the serialized "Military Friend", the sales of the four comic books have skyrocketed, and Ma Tengdong couldn''t talk from ear to ear. In addition to the high sales of comics, the original plan to open forty new Manke¡¯s home stores was divided into four stages by Ma Tengdong, and ten new stores have been opened before. Ten more stores opened this time, and he took the time to go to the new store in the Shinjuku area next door. The store was opened directly opposite the Hitotsubashi Bookstore under the Hitotsubashi Group, directly in the ring. On the opening day, sales were very hot. Many customers who originally planned to enter or come out of Hitotsubashi Bookstore were attracted to it. The manager of Hitotsubashi Bookstore was so angry that it jumped. Two flowers bloom, one branch each! While Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was advancing with great success, Gavin Peter''s progress did not lag behind. Gavin Peter has already reached an agreement with Wang Qi. He knows that his acquisition plan is related to Jiuding Securities'' money-making plan. Therefore, with the full support of Chairman Xia Yu, he did not want to hold back Jiuding Securities and did his best. On the way to acquisition every day. Just three days after the acquisition plan took action, they won the smallest Pingfansha in one fell swoop. On the fifth day of the acquisition plan, a 51% stake in Daiwa Shufang was taken. Although many shareholders disagreed, Gavin Peter still forcibly annexed Daiwa Shufang. On the seventh day of the acquisition plan, exactly one week, the entrusted bank helped Jiuding Book Publishing Company complete the acquisition of all the shares of the second target Baodao Club. tenth day¡­¡­ On the fifteenth day, exactly half a month, the hardest bone to gnaw, and also the strongest Xueyan publishing house among the targets, was finally gnawed down and successfully acquired 86% of the shares of Xueyan Publishing House. After acquiring the five major publishing houses, the most important thing is to integrate resources and strengths to enhance competitiveness. Moreover, the acquisition of five publishing houses at once will surely lead to confusion in internal management. Although Jiuding Book Publishing Company has a controlling stake, it is inevitable that some managements may violate or embezzle. Gavin Peter certainly has a way to solve this kind of problem. With the consent of the chairman, Xia Yu, he began to integrate the five major publishing houses and replace the equity of the major subsidiaries with equity of the group company. The original structure is that Xiangjiang Jiuding Book Publishing Company holds 100% control of the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Company. Then the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Company holds a controlling stake in the five major publishing houses. Formed the structure of Xiangjiang''s parent company to control the big by small, and then control the small. Then, because he had the absolute controlling rights of the five major publishing houses, Gavin Peter directly acted arbitrarily and began to integrate. After some integration, the pattern became that Xiangjiang Jiuding Book Publishing Company held 87% of the shares of Jiuding Book Publishing Group Corporation, and the remaining 13% of the shares were distributed to the original shareholders of the original five major publishing houses. The island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group has five sub-publishers that are 100% controlled. With such an integration, the original major shareholders of the five major publishing houses have directly become small shareholders with no importance. Although they have 13% of the equity in total, they are round or flat, which can only be kneaded by Gavin Peter. Now for the sake of stability, Gavin Peter temporarily reassures them, but in his plan, when it stabilizes later, these shareholders will be diluted or cleared out one by one. After some acquisitions, a total of 25.2 billion yen was spent, which is equivalent to nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, because it is a leveraged buyout, this also makes the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Company''s debt ratio reached 69%. But for such a high debt ratio, Gavin Peter is not worried because he is confident that after the company is integrated, it will achieve a compound annual growth rate of at least 50%. The growth rate of assets and profits is much higher than interest. In the short term, island companies will not start acquisitions again, and funds will not be transferred to the parent company, so it is not difficult to repay these loans! Just when the share price of Yiqiao Group fell to 57 billion yen, and the rate of decline had slowed, Wang Qi knew that it was time for a second shot. Subsequently, the news of the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group finally came to light! Not long after the incident of the Yiqiao Group, the publishing industry in the island country experienced another earthquake! Everyone originally thought that the island nation¡¯s third place in the publishing industry would be won by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the owner of "Milky Way". Unexpectedly, unexpectedly! Unexpectedly, an island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group emerged out of thin air, and it strongly annexed the five major publishing houses, and rushed to the third place in the island country¡¯s publishing industry. The blade was directed at the Yiqiao Group and the Otowa Group. Just by looking at the name, you know the relationship between Jiuding Books and Jiuding Animation. Outsiders directly regard the two companies as one. As a result, the threatening power has increased dramatically! Capital''s confidence in the publishing industry in the island countries declined, and the stock price of One Bridge Group, which had slowed down, accelerated again and plummeted. Not only that, even the Otowa Group was affected as a whole, and the stock price began to fall. Not only did the Hitotsubashi Group suffer once again, but the Otowa Group also caused a riot. ... Jiuding Securities Company Island Branch, Wang Qi came to the operation room to guide the operation. When the Otowa Group''s stock price fell as expected, Wang Qi smiled with satisfaction. After that, with an order, the employees who were already ready again acted to acquire Otowa Group shares from the secondary market. In addition, some employees are on the sidelines, acquiring scattered equity from minority shareholders who cannot attend. These equity, but his bargaining chip! Of course make another profit by the way! ... Just when Jiuding Securities Company secretly purchased the shares of Otowa Group, in order to face unexpected circumstances, the board of directors of Otowa Group held another meeting. Seeing that the faces of the directors here are not good, Chai Shengxiong naturally knows what everyone is thinking, which is why the board of directors is suddenly held today. After thinking about it, in order to improve the atmosphere, let''s say good news first. "Everyone, call everyone to the meeting again. There are mainly two urgent things to tell you!" "The first one is good news. Our group''s acquisition of shares in Yiqiao Group is progressing well!" Speaking of this, Mrs. Chai Shengxiong showed a smile on his face, and the other directors were energetic, and looked at Mrs. Chai Shengxiong. "So far, our company has acquired a total of 20.4% of the Hitotsubashi Group''s shares, and has entrusted Watanabe-kun to represent the company on the board of the Hitotsubashi Group." Shiba Shengxiong paused too much. He smiled and looked at Watanabe Akihito who was sitting next to him. The two exchanged gazes. Shiba Shengxiong continued, "I would like to ask Watanabe-kun to tell you about the specific situation." "Fuck!" After a burst of festive applause, Watanabe Akihito explained the situation: "The Aiga family is very resistant to us, because the Hitotsubashi Group belongs to the family of the Aiga family, and the Aiga family has a very strong control over the Hitotsubashi Group. The position is either controlled by the members of the Aiga family or their loyal subordinates, so it is very difficult to seize power." "But after all, we own 20.4% of the equity and 4 director seats, and we still have a certain right to speak. Now that we have inserted our company''s personnel in the financial aspect, things will get better and better in the future!" "Fuck!" After listening to Watanabe Akihito''s narration, Shiba Ootai took the lead in applauding and congratulated most of the company''s strategic plan. The applause fell, Chai Shengxiong did not speak, the atmosphere gradually cooled down, and other directors fell silent, knowing what the other thing was. "The second thing is not for our company, but the entire publishing industry, but it has a great impact on our company, and the bad impact is directly reflected in the stock market." "Originally, because of the acquisition of the One Bridge Group, our company was optimistic about the capital, the stock price rose, and the market value reached 65.8 billion yen." "But now, the stock price rise has been interrupted, and the capital has fallen into a wait-and-see period. Our company''s market value has fallen again. It has now fallen to 63.4 billion yen, and there is a downward trend." Chai Shengxiong''s face looked heavy, and he said in a low voice. The directors sitting here looked ugly, all fell into thinking, and did not say anything. For a long time, a director said: "The current situation is rather chaotic. The strength of the First Bridge Group has been greatly damaged, and it has been infiltrated by us. In the short term, the First Bridge Group has no intention of developing." "But our energy was also held back by the First Bridge Group. We definitely cannot retreat. We finally infiltrated the First Bridge Group." "But we were fighting with Yiqiao Group, so we let the newly established Jiuding Book Group. The five major publishing houses were acquired. Jiuding Book Group has completed the coverage of the entire publishing field. It will compete with us in all fields. Animation is a brother company, and our pressure is even greater." At this moment, another director interrupted and said: "But we cannot abandon the Yiqiao Group and suppress the Jiuding Book Group instead. This is simply unrealistic!" As soon as this remark came out, the previous director was immediately at a loss. He thought for a while and argued: "Of course it is impossible. The competition is long-term. In the comics field, we have fallen into the disadvantage. We have acquired five major publishing houses, UU Reading. The established book group is strong, and even if it can succeed, it will not be able to win in a short time." "Moreover, it should not be up to our family to compete with Jiuding Book Group. This will make others cheaper. We might as well continue to infiltrate the Yiqiao Group to strengthen our strength." "If we can pull the Yiqiao Group under us, the newly established Jiuding Book Group shouldn''t be afraid!" "well said!" Watanabe Akihito immediately applauded and drank. "What about the stock price? Our stock price is falling!" The director spoke out again. "This is imaginary. Yiqiao Group has fallen worse than us. As long as we continue to penetrate Yiqiao Group, capital will definitely be optimistic to us, and it will not be difficult for the stock price to rise again!" Watanabe Akihito said bluntly. The director thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said no more. "Well, if that''s the case, then we will continue to buy Yiqiao Group regardless of the stock price issue for the time being!" Subsequently, Shii Shengxiong made the decision, and the Otowa Group once again twisted a rope and continued to purchase the shares of the First Bridge Group. This made the stock price of the First Bridge Group once again stopped falling and fell into volatility. It''s a pity that the Otowa Group''s ideas are good, but Wang Qi doesn''t plan to let them do so. Now that Jiuding Securities has sold out the shares of Yiqiao Group, it is time to buy Yiqiao Group shares at a low price. How can it be possible to watch Yiqiao Group¡¯s share price rise? The Otowa group that stirs **** sticks is Wang Qi''s thorn in his eyes. If you move something that shouldn''t be moved, you should get the punishment it deserves! Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which had secretly acquired the shares of Otowa Group, directly exposed its fangs, let go of its hands and feet, and swept the secondary market. Target-Otowa Group''s stock! PS: I heard that there is a double monthly pass, cheeky begged, thank you! Chapter 502: Financial bandit Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 502 Author Huang Laoshi Full text 4985 words At Hitotsubashi Group headquarters, the Aiga family trio sat together again. The three of them can''t remember how many times they have been together during this period. It''s too frequent! No way, all kinds of crises caused the three of them to be overwhelmed. There was no way for one person to make up their minds. Even Kangping Aiga, the head of the family, couldn''t make up his mind, and could only get together to discuss together. However, compared to before, the three people were slightly relaxed when they got together this time. They all got the news that Jiuding Securities announced that it held a 23.8% stake in Otowa Group (on-site and off-site acquisition), and it launched a strong takeover offer against Otowa Group. As a result, the pressure on the Aiga family was greatly reduced. Because the Otowa Group originally chased them, the internal group had to face the intrigue of the Otowa Group, and the outside had to deal with the continued acquisition of the Otowa Group. Especially after the board of directors was infiltrated, the Aiga family has been constrained, and many things within the group cannot be hidden from the Otowa Group. No way, they can only change their accounts if they want to continue to increase their holdings, and buy them in the name of the family, so as not to be probed by the Otowa Group. Although they were carried by the three of them, it was still very difficult during this time. Domestic and foreign difficulties, power struggles, public opinion shocks, declining comic sales, stock prices plummeting, acquisition crisis, and so on. Among them, the pressure is not enough for outsiders, and the Aiga family trio can only withstand tears. Fortunately, Jiuding Securities suddenly made a strong acquisition of Otowa Group, which caused Otowa Group to be in a mess, and hurriedly withdrew its energy to deal with Jiuding Securities, giving them a respite. This is the benefit to them that Jiuding Securities Company launched the acquisition. But there are also disadvantages, that is, Otowa Group is overwhelmed with no time to rush to raise funds, and combined with a series of influences caused by various reasons, the share price of Yiqiao Group plummeted again. And just when the securities company they hired wanted to raise money, they found that someone was rushing to raise stocks, and they acted very quickly, and they were always able to get ahead of them to acquire stocks. "Is this acquirer Jiuding Securities Company? They are shorting us, and now we are taking advantage of our company''s low stock price to go back?" Aiga Suzutaro narrowed his eyes and guessed. Aiga Ichiro nodded slightly and said, "It is very possible that the market value of our group has fallen below 50 billion yen. They are likely to buy the bottom, or we will acquire them. What do they take back?" "When you said that, I thought of a question. When Jiuding Securities acquired the shares of Otowa Group, does it really want to buy it, or is it for the equity of our group held by Otowa Group?" A flash of light flashed in Aiga Kangping''s mind. , Squinted and said. As soon as this remark came out, both Aiga Ichiro and Aiga Suzutaro shrank their pupils, carefully pondering this possibility, and the more they thought about it, the more they realized it was possible. "Then, shall we make trouble for Jiuding Securities?" Aiga Ichiro said with a cold flash in his eyes. They have had such a difficult time during this period. One reason is that Jiuding Securities is shorting them strongly. Now that they suddenly see through the plan of Jiuding Securities, Aiga Ichiro''s revenge has exploded. Although Aiga Kangping was a little excited, he was able to be the head of the family after all. In addition to his talents, what is more important is his calmness, tolerance and understanding of the overall situation. He thought about the pros and cons, shook his head and denied Aiga Ichiro¡¯s idea, and explained: ¡°No, in fact, we are not sure whether Jiuding Securities thinks that way. Now Jiuding Securities has contacted Otowa Group, and it has been considered a disguised form for us to decompress. There is no need to attract firepower." "Besides, even if Jiuding Securities really thinks so, let them go. The stock is taken by Jiuding Securities and returned to other institutions. It is better than in the hands of Otowa Group!" Hearing this explanation, although Aiga Ichiro was unwilling, but rationally told him that what Aiga Kanghei said was reasonable. The stock was taken by Jiuding Securities, and it was just unwilling to do so. But if the stock is in the hands of the Otowa Group, then it is not something that can be resolved with forbearance, it is fatal! Since Otowa Group infiltrated their board of directors by virtue of its equity, troubles have followed one after another, and they have become as big a fight. If you have to fight with the Otowa Group in the future, then life will definitely be difficult and you will lose real benefits. Now if they risk annoyed Jiuding Securities and provoke Jiuding Securities'' revenge, if they sell the shares of the One Bridge Group in their hands to Otowa Group, it will really kill them. So even if you might have guessed what Jiuding Securities wanted to do, the Aiga family trio didn''t dare to think about it. People under the eaves have to bow their heads! This is a naked conspiracy! Not afraid they will know! The sorrow of the weak! "Hey..." Aiga Ichiro was so unwilling in his heart, and finally turned into a long sigh. ¡­The Aiga family trio was very worried and distressed, and the senior leaders of the Otowa Group were even more troubled. Just because of the evil guests! At the meeting room of the Otowa Group headquarters, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence at this time. The face of Xiongtai Shiba who was sitting at the top was very ugly, and the face of the original second shareholder Akira Watanabe was not much better, and the faces of the remaining directors were very different. But one thing is the same, that is, their eyes are on two new faces. Chai Shengxiong felt that the smiles on these two new faces made him want to hit someone! Very crazy! At the same time thinking of the two directors who disappeared, Chai Shengxiong was also very annoyed. Those two directors were so pitted that they sold their shares to Jiuding Securities Co., which caused great trouble to the Otowa Group. No, Wang Qi, general manager of Jiuding Securities, and Gavin Peter, general manager of Jiuding Book Publishing Group, are sitting here. Wanting them to hold a total of 23.8% of Otowa Group''s equity in their hands, Mr. Chai Shengxiong felt a burst of anxiety. As the largest shareholder, he has only 24.5% of the shares, and the newcomer actually holds 23.8% of the shares, and the other party must continue to purchase stocks, which seriously threatens his position. But knowing that they were evil guests, he couldn''t provoke them anymore, lest it cause more uncontrollable consequences. Chai Shengxiong took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and said to everyone: "First of all, let us welcome the arrival of the two new directors with warm applause, everyone applauds and welcome!" "Papa..." There was a jittery sound. Uneven applause. Chai Shengxiong smiled awkwardly. With a playful expression on Wang Qi''s face, Noyu looked at Mrs. Chai Shengxiong and said: "It seems that everyone doesn''t welcome us..." "Where, Mr. Wang laughed. Of course, we welcome you to join. The company''s strength is even more powerful. We are too strong, we are too happy!" Chai Shengxiong said hypocritically, clapping again, and the others were also awakened and clapped vigorously. Now these two are life-desiring ghosts, even if he feels aggrieved, Chai Shengxiong can only endure it. Especially compared to Wang Qi of Jiuding Securities Company, Chai Shengxiong pays too much attention to Gavin Peter, the white man sitting next to Wang Qi and seeming to be distracted, the general manager of Jiuding Book Publishing Group, a newly famous island nation. This one is the person most threatening to their Otowa Group! Some time ago, it was this white man who swallowed five publishing houses in a row, and built the third group company in the publishing industry in the island country, staring at them with enthusiasm. Now it is this dangerous man who has come together with Jiuding Securities and said that he has obtained 10% of the equity from Jiuding Securities. The threats revealed here are too strong. How can Mr. Chai Shengxiong not be nervous? ? This scene seems inexplicably familiar? Chai Shengxiong thought for a moment, and smiled bitterly. Wasn''t their relationship with the Hitotsubashi Group just the same as it is now? After the praying mantis catches the cicada oriole, their Otowa group has become a mantis? ! "Well, everyone here, I don''t want to waste everyone''s precious time!" Wang Qi said with a smile on his face. It was these calm words that refreshed everyone sitting there. "Coming today, I have only one purpose. I am not interested in your company''s equity. The only thing I am interested in is the equity of Hitotsubashi Group." As soon as these words came out, Mr. Chai and others looked ugly. But without waiting for them to speak, they heard Wang Qi glance at everyone meaningfully and smiled: "Of course, if you don¡¯t want to take it out, it¡¯s okay. I thoughtfully made preparations for the second hand. This one next to me, Jiuding Book Publishing Mr. Gavin Peter of the group is very interested in your company¡¯s equity or the equity of the Hitotsubashi Group." "Yes, to me, I like the equity of any company, even more concentrated than equity. The Hitotsubashi Group, I am more optimistic about your company. The previous two gentlemen are very good at talking, and I think the other gentlemen sitting here are also like talking people." Gavin Peter smiled heartily, and he spoke to Chai Shengxiong. Waiting for someone to smile kindly. It''s just this sunny smile that made Chai Shengxiong feel extremely disgusting, and the anger in her heart was erupting, but she had to suppress it. Thinking of the two traitors, Chai Shengxiong''s gaze at the other directors suddenly changed. Other directors noticed Chai Shengxiong''s gaze, and even subconsciously avoided, which made Chai Shengxiong too flustered. "You guys give me an answer. I don''t know if I can meet my little request?" Wang Qidan said with a smile, leaning on the backrest, his head tilted slightly, his eyes moving around everyone. The voice fell, and there was still no sound in the room. Even if they wanted to express their views, they were afraid that Wang Qi and others would be there, so that they would not discuss it out loud, for fear that they would be targeted by Jiuding Securities Co., and would cause trouble for themselves. As time passed by, the smile on Wang Qi''s face gradually disappeared, and his expression became colder. "Isn''t it?" Wang Qi seemed to mutter to himself. Then I saw him shook his head slightly and said to Gavin Peter: "Gavin, I will give you the remaining 13.8% of the equity. I don''t know how much I have acquired. Anyway, as long as you want, I will help you buy it! "Let''s go, there is no need to waste time here, and tomorrow, you should be able to organize the board of directors." Wang Qi joked to Gavin Peter on his own, not caring about Chai Shengxiong''s ugly face. Gavin Peter sang the double reed together and stood up as he said, "Thank you, then I beg you, let''s go!" When Wang Qi also stood up and wanted to leave, Mr. Chai finally got up. Said in a hoarse voice: "I agree to the replacement!" Wang Qi paused, looking at Mrs. Chai Shengxiong with a smile, and confirmed again: "Mr. Chai Sheng, are you sure?" Chai Shengxiong took a deep breath, bitterly Said: "I''m sure!" Gavin Peter suddenly showed a regretful expression. It happened that Chai Shengxiong looked at him, and he was relieved for some reason. "I don''t know what the other directors want?" Wang Qi said and looked at the others. Watanabe Akihito is very knowledgeable about current affairs and has already seen the situation clearly, but because the chairman of Shiba Shengxiong did not make a statement just now, so he could only bear it. At this time, Shiba Shengxiong was too subdued, and he immediately said, "I have no objection!" Wang Qi smiled and nodded at Watanabe Akihito. "I have no opinion either!" "I agree to replace..." "I agree to replace equity..." Several other directors also expressed their cooperation. "Very good!" "Then let''s talk about the specific replacement rules." "I don''t know how many shares of Yiqiao Group the company holds?" Wang Qi asked. "Now I hold a 21.8% stake." Chai Shengxiong said truthfully. Wang Qi nodded, thought about it, and said: "We hold 23.8% of your company''s equity. According to the current situation, you need to take out all the equity of the One Bridge Group and add 5.52 billion yen. Cash, to replace the equity in our hands!" "Impossible! You are robbing!" Hearing Wang Qi''s words, Chai Shengxiong was too angry and screamed at the two Wang Qi . However, Wang Qi did not change his face, and explained clearly: "Why is it impossible? When I came, Hitotsubashi Group had a market value of 47.6 billion yen, your company¡¯s market value was 66.8 billion yen, and your company held 21.8% of the Bridge Group¡¯s equity has a market value of 10.38 billion yen, while we hold 23.8% of your company¡¯s equity, with a market value of 15.9 billion yen, which is a difference of 5.52 billion yen in value. That¡¯s not wrong!¡± Hearing Wang Qi¡¯s calculation, Chai Shengxiong felt that his IQ was insulted. He had never seen such a shameless person. He roared: "It can''t be counted. The stock of Yiqiao Group we acquired was acquired at a high position. Now Yiqiao Group''s stock price has fallen to a low level. Low, we spent about 15.5 billion yen from start to finish, which can¡¯t be calculated based on the current market value!" "You bought our company¡¯s stock at a low level. Because of your acquisition, our company¡¯s market value rose to 66.8 billion days. Yuan, you definitely spent less than 14 billion yen!" "You should make up the difference to us!" "Yes, you are taking advantage of the fire! You can''t count like that!" "Yes, it should be calculated based on the actual purchase price before. , Can¡¯t be calculated at the current price!¡±...After Mrs. Chai Shengxiong finished speaking, when it came to his own interests, several other shareholders were no longer silent, and they glared at Wang Qi and objected. Upon seeing this scene, Wang Qi didn''t change his face. This was already in his expectation. Could he not know the way inside? He must know, but he wants to do it! Who made him hold the initiative? Who told Otowa Group to jump into the pit? Still want to use Jiuding Securities as a thug? This is the price! ! ! People are under the eaves, forcing them to bow without bowing their heads! Mrs. Chai Shengxiong was really right. He was robbing him, so what? ! Today he carried the knife around their necks, and he had to agree if he disagrees! Have you never heard of a term called financial bandit? Chapter 503: The twisted melon is very sweet Unmoved, Wang Qi glanced at everyone indifferently, and then fixed his gaze on Chai Shengxiongtai. His eyes became sharp instantly, and a fierce anger directed at Chai Shengxiongtai, making his face stiff. "Everyone, investment is risky. You think the market value of the One Bridge Group is low, but I think it can be lower. The equity in your hand is now worth 10.38 billion. It will be bad after a while. !" "As for your company, I am more optimistic. The current market value is not at its peak. I think it will continue to rise in the future. What do you think?" Wang Qi said in a deep tone. The expressions of everyone sitting there changed, and they didn''t know how to defend. The stock price of Yiqiao Group plummeted, thanks to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., their company''s market value increased, and also because of the acquisition of Jiuding Securities. Now, as the general manager of Jiuding Securities, Wang Qi said so, and he can really do what he said. They have no way to refute it. As long as they continue to fight for equity, it will be difficult for the stock price of Otowa Group not to rise! But just wanting to make them suffer such a big loss, no one is reconciled! "Mr. Wang, you and I know what the real situation is. We have agreed to give up the equity of Yiqiao Group. If you want to bite us again, this will definitely not work! We are not muddled!" Chai Shengxiong took a few breaths too deeply, with an extremely determined attitude, quite a posture of fighting Wang Qi to the end, and at the same time shouting to other people in order to strengthen his momentum. "Will everyone be willing to steal the hard-earned money?" "Nobody''s money came from the wind!" Watanabe Akihito said quietly, obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Qi''s way of eating. The original major shareholder and the second shareholder expressed their views, and the pressure on the other shareholders plummeted and they became bolder and responded. "Yes, Mr. Wang, we agree that replacement is already a huge loss. We absolutely disagree with your algorithm!" "..." For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was tense again! The resistance of the crowd was kept in sight by Wang Qi. He smiled, shrugged, and his gaze swept across everyone''s faces, and finally fixed on a director, Naoki Matsushita, who holds 7.8% of the shares. Naoki Matsushita felt a little uncomfortable, and he heard Wang Qi say: "Mr. Matsushita, I wonder if you can sell me your equity?" Hearing this, not only Matsushita Naoki, but also Shiba Yuta and Watanabe Akihito''s complexion changed drastically. Looking at Matsushita Naoki with cold stern eyes, it was self-evident. All the colleagues'' eyes focused on himself, and Naoki Matsushita felt the pressure. He swallowed, barely squeezing a smile, shaking his head, and wanted to reject Wang Qi, so as not to cause everyone''s suspicion. But what Wang Qi said right away made him swallow it back abruptly. "Mr. Matsushita, there is a company named Mingchun Wenyin Equipment Co., Ltd. which is doing well. Our company bought a 13.6% stake. I wonder if you are interested?" As soon as this remark came out, except for Gavin Peter who continued to hold his chest to watch the show, the faces of others became extremely ugly. Because they all know that Mingchun Printing Equipment Company is the main company of Panasonic Naoki, which specializes in manufacturing advertising consumables and machinery, such as printing equipment, packaging and printing machinery and office equipment, trademarks, labels, gravures, etc. Panasonic Naoki holds 7.8% of Otowa Group''s equity is only a related investment, and it is definitely not as important as its own main company. At this time, Wang Qi suddenly broke out that he held a 13.6% stake in Mingchun Wenyin Equipment Company, and his attitude was very obvious. Naoki Matsushita took a deep breath. As soon as he wanted to agree, he saw Wang Qi look at the director next to him and heard him say: "By the way, I am also optimistic about the development prospects of Shinto Trading Co., so I also acquired 12.7. % Equity." As soon as he said this, the director next to Matsushita Naoki had a serious expression, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. Because like Naoki Matsushita, Shinto Trading Company is his main business and the foundation of his life. If it is because of part of the equity of Otowa Group that it provokes the highly aggressive Jiuding Securities Company, it is really a trouble. He has no need to do that! Although Wang Qi only said that he had equity, and did not produce a proof, neither of them dared to doubt, or in a mentality that they would rather believe that there is no credibility, they would not dare to gamble! There is no need to gamble! It is most realistic to just bow your head directly! Two directors in a row were threatened. Judging from their attitude, the two of them were undoubtedly intending to compromise. The resistance situation that Chai Shengxiong was too hard to conclude temporarily was disintegrated in an instant, and he felt weak. Although looking at Wang Qifeng''s calm face, Chai Shengxiong was itchy with hatred, but he knew that he really lost, and it was a mess. The two directors were pinched and they would definitely compromise, but he had no choice but to take these two directors. Chai Shengxiong asked too much, if he was like them, he would make the same choice as them. But understanding comes to understanding and reluctance is another matter. Now the shares of these two directors will add up to 13.9%. If Wang Qi takes it and gives it to Jiuding Book Publishing Group, then his chairmanship will be gone. Thinking of Gavin Peter''s powerful methods again, it is difficult to guarantee that Wang Qi will not continue to use this vicious method to finally completely take the holding of the Otowa Group and forcibly annex it until he dilutes his equity and kicks him out of the company. Forget it, recognize it! It''s not that he loses money alone, and everyone is responsible for it. It is better than he is swept away in the future. Thinking of this, Shiba Shengxiong hurriedly said before the two of Matsushita Naoki spoke: "Mr. Wang, if you win, you can change it on your terms!" "Mr. Wang, I agree too!" Naoki Matsushita said quickly, then put his attitude very low, licking his face and asked, "I wonder if the shares can be sold to me?" Watching Matsushita Naoki staring at himself with blank eyes, Wang Qi, who had already achieved his wish, had an ambiguous attitude, making Matsushita Naoki beating his heart. "Look at the final result!" Wang Qi came prepared, and the means came one after another. Of course, the final result was to replace it according to his conditions as he wanted. 23.8% of Otowa Group¡¯s equity was exchanged for 21.8% of Hitotsubashi Group¡¯s equity, as well as 5.52 billion yen in cash. "Mr. Matsushita, Mr. Fujiwara, welcome to our company to talk in detail!" After completing a series of procedures Seeing that Naoki Matsushita followed suit, Wang Qi of course knew what they were worried about, and his goal had been achieved, so there was no need to hold the two companies. The equity is gone, so he invited Naoki Matsushita in a friendly manner. After getting a reply, Matsushita Naoki looked overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to shake hands with Wang Qi, for fear that Wang Qi would regret it: "Okay, okay, I will definitely visit your company!" Wang Qi smiled and nodded, waved to everyone and said, "Everyone, have a good cooperation, goodbye!" After that, he went away with Gavin Peter. Only a group of directors with different looks remained. Chai Shengxiong watched Wang Qi and the others'' vehicles go away in a daze. His fists were clenched, and finally loosened weakly. He looked down at the equity transfer contract in his hand and was speechless. Other people looked at Chai Shengxiong''s state, and they were not happy. Chai Shengxiong was too unhappy, so why were they happy? When someone came to the house with a knife, because they were pinched their lifeblood and signed a shameful contract, they all felt aggrieved. But how can this be? Being pinched by the gate of life, can only be pinched by others! "Hey, bandit..." For a long time, Mr. Chai Shengxiong sighed, but he could only comfort himself that his shareholding could increase to more than 30%. This is also a blessing in misfortune! Shaking his head, Chai Shengxiong took the lead and walked back, preparing to discuss with them the share of shares. Watanabe Akihito didn''t leave until the end. Before leaving, he looked back at the direction Wang Qi had taken, shook his head and sighed, and then set off, leaving only a word in the air. "Jiuding Animation, Jiuding Books, Jiuding Securities, haha, we all lost, they are the only winners, and they won¡¯t be wronged..." https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 504: Fruitful When they came, Wang Qi and Gavin Peter were in the same car, and naturally they were together when they returned. Wang Qi returned home with great success, even though he was not himself, Gavin Peter was still happy. "Tengdong, you are this!" Gavin Peter said in admiration, and at the same time gave Wang Qi a thumbs up. I have been in Hong Kong for several months. Although Gavin Peter is not proficient in Hong Kong dialect, he has learned some daily movements and habits. Today, I saw Wang Qi blackmailing the Otowa Group and got what he wanted. The high-level people of the Otowa Group, like his grandson, really opened his eyes and was deeply impressed. Wang Qi laughed and said modestly: "Gavin, that is, they are not prepared to be assaulted by us, otherwise they will not be so easy to compromise. At the beginning, my plan did not have the Otowa Group, but whoever allowed them to enter the game greedily. Can''t blame me for calculating it." "Haha!" "It''s no wonder that all walks of life love and hate financial companies. With your help, you can solve a lot of troubles, but if you look at them, you will really be driven crazy." Gavin Peter shook his head and smiled, and said with emotion. "By the way, Gavin, if you didn''t want to acquire Otowa Group, otherwise I really didn''t scare them, I can definitely help you complete the merger!" Wang Qi suddenly said with some regret. Gavin Peter smiled without any regrets, and said lightly, "I know you can definitely help me complete the absolute holding, but I don''t want to buy Otowa Group now." "If you said you could help me acquire Otowa Group before the acquisition of five publishing houses, I would definitely be willing." "But now that five publishing houses have just been annexed, the company needs a period of internal integration and digestion. Now it is very difficult to merge Otowa Group and it will have a great impact on the company. Otowa Group is too large, not so Good mergers and acquisitions are not easy to manage." "The most important thing is that the company I manage now is the third largest in the publishing industry in the island country. There are many resources that overlap with the Otowa Group. Although the Otowa Group has a market value of more than 60 billion yen, it can affect the company. Yes, it is estimated to be about two-thirds. The acquisition will cause a lot of waste of resources and it is not worth it." Hearing Gavin Peter''s words, Wang Qi nodded slightly to express his understanding, and no longer struggled with this point. "Since you look down on it, then forget it. When the company you manage is on the right track, I believe the market value of Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group will shrink. If you take a fancy, tell me, you will definitely help you complete the acquisition. !" "Okay, I won''t be polite to you!" Gavin Peter said with a smile, not the slightest notice. ... The executives of the Otowa Group also have a dark heart. They have suffered a crime and want to pull the Yiqiao Group into the water, not wanting them to live better. So it didn''t take long for the Otowa Group to issue a statement to the outside world in a secret manner, stopping the acquisition of shares in the First Bridge Group, and no longer held any shares in the First Bridge Group. As soon as this statement came out, the retail investors and institutions who were expecting Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group to raise their stock prices were immediately dumbfounded. Immediately, the stock price of Yiqiao Group began to fluctuate again. And after knowing this result, the Aiga family trio affirmed the guess in their hearts, and while secretly relieved, they were also very unhappy in their hearts. ... After taking the equity in Otowa Group, Jiuding Securities purchased the stock for a few days, and finally made up the amount borrowed before. Subsequently, the acquisition was stopped decisively and the equity was returned to the institutions that lent it. When Jiuding Securities returned the equity, the faces of various institutions were very ugly. After all, the market value of Yiqiao Group was nearly cut in half. Can they be annoyed? More than one institution regretted lending equity to Jiuding Securities. Of course, in addition to regret, these institutions are not lacking in surprise and emotion, and they have paid attention to Jiuding Securities. After returning the stocks, Wang Qi removed the financial leverage and exchanged 27 billion yen for Sanhe Bank, and also paid part of the leverage service fee. After that, it was finally time to settle the accounts. Wang Qixing calculated the gains vigorously, selling short shares at high positions and shorting Yiqiao Group, and returning from low positions, he made a total of 11.2 billion yen in profits. Then it exchanged equity with Otowa Group. Although it received 5.52 billion yen in cash, the 5.52 billion was not profit, and part of the principal was in it. The difference made by the replacement is the profit, which is 2.7 billion yen in total. In addition, by selling the shares of Shinto Trading Company and Mingchun Printing Equipment Company, they also made a difference of 200 million yen in profit. Therefore, in this complex stock market operation, Jiuding Securities made a total profit of 14.1 billion yen. Now that the USD/JPY exchange rate has reached 200 points, Wang Qi has already planned to retreat in a few days. Even at an exchange rate of 200 points, the 14.1 billion yen can be converted into 70.5 million U.S. dollars. The USD/HKD exchange rate has always been Hong Kong''s official fixed rate of 4.6, so it is 324.3 million Hong Kong dollars. I made a lot of money in World War I, and I also played a majesty at the cost of the sinking of an industry boss, and I definitely made a profit! With such a great harvest, Chairman Xia Yu happened to be here. Of course, Wang Qi must report to Xia Yu for credit. When Xia Yu listened to Wang Qi''s report on the results of his battle , he was very satisfied with Wang Qi. In Xia Yu''s view, Wang Qi at this time is already quite a general demeanor. Compared with the time when Jiuding Securities was established, he was more than ten times more mature and stable, and his ability was also greatly improved. Think about it, just half a year, experienced so many winds and waves, it is hard not to grow up! Withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Yu pointed out to Wang Qi: "Now the island country''s exchange rate is about to reach its peak. It can start at 197 o''clock, and the retreat is complete. Before 195.5, all must be withdrawn." Wang Qi nodded solemnly and promised: "I will!" However, Jiuding Securities still has 400 million Hong Kong dollars operating the exchange rate of the island country. The principal amount of 21 billion yen has used 40 to 50 times the leverage, and a total of 987 billion yen has been leveraged. Even though such a huge number is distributed among multiple foreign exchange banks, it is very difficult to withdraw silently. And he also knows that Chairman Xia Yu has other more funds in operation, and the amount of funds will exceed one trillion yen without accident. In order to seek stability, Wang Qi had decided in his heart to focus on stability and leave before 196 o''clock. More are earned, and you can''t lose even more because of greed for this one point. After that, Wang Qi left and continued to be busy with Jiuding Securities. Because of this battle, Jiuding Securities has completely set a banner in Tokyo. With its reputation, customers will automatically come to the door. Jiuding Securities has set up a corresponding fund to serve customers. As for Xia Yu, he went to the Galaxy Fund and told him. Youdao means that good things happen one after another when you are lucky. As soon as Xia Yu returned, he received another good news. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 505: Complete the acquisition "Cici, go, come with me to Chiyoda District." Xia Yu stood up and called Li Qian to leave. "Ok!" Li Qian answered, holding Xia Yu''s hand and going out. Just two steps later, Xia Yu suddenly stopped, returned to the desk, pulled to the bottom, and found a thick stack of documents. This is the result of his months of free time, but he always thought that the time was not enough, so he kept accumulating, but he didn''t take it out. Until this time, Xia Yu finally felt that the time should be ripe! "Zhiyin Manke" rushed to the second place in the island country''s comics market, with a rapid rise. Looking ahead to the leading position, the future will be a period of rapid growth for "Zhiyin Manke". Such a good opportunity is a good time for the four publications of "Moe", "Fantasy", "Sharp" and "Burning" to be published independently. I can take this opportunity to suppress other comic magazines in the island country in one fell swoop and win the throne of the island country¡¯s comic overlord. Grabbing the things, Xia Yu set off again and took Li Qian to Chiyoda District, Tokyo. The car shuttled through the bustling Tokyo city for more than 20 minutes and finally arrived at the location of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. After getting off the car, Xia Yu walked straight inside and saw him in Ma Tengdong''s office. Hearing footsteps, Ma Tengdong raised his head. After seeing Xia Yu''s face, he immediately stood up and greeted Xia Yu with a smile. "Chairman, here you are!" "Well, Rishengshe bought it?" As soon as Xia Yu came in, he went straight to the subject and asked. Ma Tengdong was stunned, and immediately picked up the contract on the table and presented it to Xia Yu with both hands, saying: "Chairman, this is all the contract, and the wholly-owned acquisition of Risheng Society has been completed." Xia Yu sat down and turned over the contract. After browsing, a smile appeared on his face, and he said admiringly: "Good job!" Although Ma Tengdong was happy, he said humbly: "You still benefit from the chairman''s leadership. Because of public opinion issues, Rishengsha did not want to fall with us, so it refused to be acquired. But now, with Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa The group''s vitality was greatly injured, so that they could see our energy and no longer resist being acquired in their hearts. This was completed." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "The process is not important, I only look at the results! You don''t have to be humble, you are doing well!" After the praise, Xia Yu then asked: "Is Risheng Society integrated now?" Ma Tengdong shook his head and said, "Not yet. I have just completed the acquisition. I am worried that it will cause turmoil. So I wait for your order and decide whether to merge or operate independently." Xia Yu pondered for a while, wanting to know the detailed progress of Mobile Suit Gundam at this time, so he stood up and said to Ma Tengdong: "It just happens to have time now, take me over to see, and talk about it later." "Yes!" After answering, Ma Tengdong immediately led Xia Yu to go. Before leaving, he made a special call. The distance between Rishengshe and Jiuding Animation is not far away, about a kilometer or so. When driving, it takes a few minutes to reach the gate of Rishengshe. As soon as I got off the bus, I saw several people in suits waiting at the entrance of Risheng Society. After seeing Ma Tengdong, his eyes lit up and smiled. Before they could say hello, Ma Tengdong introduced someone to Xia Yu: "Chairman, this is Yasuo Miyaga, the former president of the Risheng Society. These two are the company''s top leaders." "This is the chairman of the company and his surname is Xia." "Hello, Chairman!" When Gonghe Gongfu heard this, they became more serious and bowed directly to Xia Yu ninety degrees. "Hello!" Xia Yu said with a faint smile, and proactively stretched out his hand. Gonghe Gongfu shook hands with Xia Yu one by one in surprise and nervousness. "Miyagai Yasuo, take us in and take a look, don''t stand at the door." Ma Tengdong reminded. "Yes, right, right, look at my mind, chairman, president, please come in!" Miyagai Yasuo immediately woke up and quickly apologized, and then led a group of people to go inside the Risheng Society. "Chairman, President, please wait a moment." "Everyone, stop and notify everyone to come over, the chairman is here." Gonghe Kyao quickly called all the employees together, Xia Yu saw it, and did not stop it. Although he is relatively pragmatic and doesn''t like to engage in these formalisms, this is his first time here, and the form that should be taken must be taken once. It is very important to let the employees below know who they are doing. The meeting process was relatively brief, because considering that many employees only speak Japanese, Xia Yu talked to company personnel in Japanese. A fluent and authentic Japanese came out of the mouth, and the employees of Risheng Society had a good impression of the chairman who appeared suddenly, and they doubted whether Xia Yu was an islander. Even Ma Tengdong was shocked. He didn''t even know that the chairman could speak Japanese, and he could speak better than a man who had lived in the island country for more than ten years. In this regard, Ma Tengdong can only sigh that the chairman is the chairman, he is indeed a peerless genius, perhaps this kind of learning ability is as simple as eating and drinking for him. After meeting and encouraging, all the employees returned to their original work positions again, and Xia Yu, accompanied by Ma Tengdong and Miyai Yasuo, strolled around in Risheng News Agency. The entire Risheng Club only does cartoons. When he walked to a studio, he saw the sign at the door, Xia Yu''s heart moved because it said "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED", which means "Mobile Suit Gundam" in Chinese. Seeing Xia Yu stopping, Miyagai Yasuo explained respectfully: "Chairman, this is the modeling studio of Mobile Suit Gundam, where various robot models are being designed." Speaking, Kyao Miyaga opened the door, and all kinds of complete or incomplete models came into view. There were still some parts scattered on the ground, some employees kept piecing together, and some employees faced complete models. Painting. "Hello, chairman, president!" As Xia Yu and others walked in, the employees inside immediately stopped their work and greeted respectfully. "Hello, keep busy, I will take a look." After that, Xia Yu walked around the studio with interest, observing various models from time to time. Seeing the state of Chairman Xia Yu, Ma Tengdong''s heart moved, and the things that were wrong before came to mind again. He secretly reminded himself to observe carefully again. "These models are good. They are made into cartoons. I believe boys will like them very much. The ratings should not be bad." "Girls like Barbie dolls, and boys have no resistance to toys such as machines. If Gundam fighters are made, sales should not be bad." Xia Yu tweeted his mouth and commented, but he only spoke Cantonese, and Gonghe Yasuo sounded dazed. But Ma Tengdong heard it clearly, and he finally confirmed in his heart that it was for this reason that the chairman let him buy Risheng Society. He had wanted to go wrong before. But after careful observation, and then following Xia Yu''s statement, he couldn''t help nodding secretly. After his thinking changed, his gaze at these models in front of him changed in a moment, and it was a piece of gold. The chairman has never missed what he said. With the same thinking and vision as Xia Yushen, since he said that he can make money, he can definitely make money. "How many episodes of Gundam animation have been made now?" Xia Yu asked Miyai Kyao again in Japanese. "I have only finished five episodes now." Miyagai Yasuo answered truthfully. Xia Yu nodded slightly, did not speak any more, as if he had exposed the topic, then left the studio and continued to wander around. It''s a pity that Xia Yu didn''t find any gold mines in his memory later. In the Risheng Society, the only thing that has the impression is the Robot Warrior Gundam. After returning to Jiuding Animation Branch, Xia Yu called Ma Tengdong to the front. "Tengdong, how are you, do you have any ideas?" Looking at Ma Tengdong, who was not in his mind, Xia Yu smiled faintly, blew the heat in the teacup, took a sip, and asked relaxedly. "Chairman, do you think the Robot Warrior Gundam prospects are very good, that''s why it bought Rishengsha?" Ma Tengdong thought for a while, and then said the guess in his heart, and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. "Yes!" Giving Ma Tengdong an admiring look, Xia Yu said lightly. ¡°Last time wandering the whole street, I accidentally saw the Gundam model of Rishengsha. I think the prospects are good. Another animation company needs to continue to strengthen its animation production capabilities. The acquisition of Rishengsha has good benefits." "This time I learned about it. The potential of Robot Warrior Gundam has been determined. There is great potential and the surrounding potential is huge. If there are cartoons, they can complement each other Ma Tengdong nodded in agreement and said, "Chairman, I know What to do! " Xia Yu smiled and continued: "Risesun can operate as a subsidiary company alone, but it must share resources and maximize the value of its use. At the same time, you should order Miyagai Yasuo and let him continue to expand The agency, mobilize his connections to recruit people, put Mobile Suit Gundam first, and make full efforts. The bigger the world system, the better, and the greater the potential at that time, it can be serialized for a longer year." Comic series are the most profitable, and the longer the serialization, the greater the impact and the more money you can make. "Understood, I will tell you to go down!" Ma Tengdong nodded heavily, with a very serious and sincere attitude. Xia Yu nodded slightly and was very satisfied. After thinking about it, he hooked up to Li Qian next to him and said, "Cici, bring me something." Then, under Ma Tengdong''s suspicious gaze, Li Qian took out a thick stack of documents in a sealed bag from her bag and handed it to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu took over, he didn''t immediately confuse Ma Tengdong, but smiled and asked: "Tengdong, now the comic magazine has a firm foothold, when are you going to split the magazine?" Ma Tengdong thought for a while, and replied: "Chairman, according to the current situation, "Military Friend" will continue to expand its influence for a relatively long time. I am confident that it will become the island country with the largest circulation. Comic magazines, but after this battle, there will be many enemies. There are no fewer than five comic magazines under Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group. Our company depends on one magazine alone, and there is still a shortage." PS: Please recommend a monthly pass, there will be one later. (Less than words, free) https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 506: Hurt others and benefit yourself "If conditions permit, I can''t wait to divide one book into four and fight collectively, but now some conditions are temporarily immature." "You let me keep hiring people. If there is no shortage of manpower, our company now has no shortage of people. Instead, what is missing is comics that can be easily obtained. Although some comics have been incubated within the company, the quality is not as good as the original four comics. In addition, the number is not enough. I am worried that after the sub-issues, the circulation of a single comic magazine will not be as good as other comic magazines, and it will even affect the existing four comics." Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded his head calmly. These were within his observation. Because of this, he said that the time had come, it was time to take out the treasure that had been hidden for a long time. After thinking about it, Xia Yu pushed a large number of documents on the desk in a sealed bag to Ma Tengdong, and ordered: "Take these down. There are a lot of them. You can go back and look at them. Come to me after reading them." Looking at the thick stack of documents in front of him, Ma Tengdong suddenly saw the scene when the chairman took out four comics including "Dragon Ball" in his mind, his heart beating wildly. The thickness now is more than four times that of the original four comics. Did the chairman come up with the planning of more than ten comics? If the quality is not bad, then... Thinking of this, Ma Tengdong feels dry. Suppressing the urge to open the seal immediately, Ma Tengdong said immediately: "Chairman, I will go to see it immediately, and then I will report to you as soon as possible after reading it." "Go!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his hand. "Chairman, then I''m leaving!" Ma Tengdong was amnesty, holding a stack of documents happily, and quickly left Xia Yu''s office. "Ha ha¡­¡­" Seeing Ma Tengdong''s strange figure, Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. ... But he said that Ma Tengdong returned to the office holding a pile of documents expectantly. He just sat down with his hips and didn''t care about adjusting his posture comfortably. He immediately picked up the top sealed bag and opened it. I just took out a bound document, and the four words on the first page came into view-"Transformers". With anticipation and curiosity, Ma Tengdong turned to the first page. At this point, it can¡¯t be dealt with. The mysterious HTC background of the G1 universe, the planet¡¯s core computer magic ball made by the five-faced monster on Cybertron, can transform into a variety of cars and airplanes. There are also drawings of the corresponding robot. But unlike the previous life, Optimus Prime is based on the Caterpillar 389 heavy truck tractor as the original version. The one here has undergone certain adjustments and does not have a license plate or model number. The original version of the Hornet was a Chevrolet Camaro from 1960, but this one has also been adjusted and there is no original model. In addition to not wanting to have copyright disputes and making wedding clothes for others, the most important thing is that Xia Yu deliberately stayed. If he builds a car in the future, after "Transformers" is on fire, so the Autobots can change the corresponding car logo and definitely can There is a bonus to sales. Of course Xia Yu didn''t write these things, so Ma Tengdong didn''t know, he hadn''t read the original version, and didn''t notice these details. Unknowingly, Ma Tengdong finished turning over one book, and his talents were never fully recovered. He muttered with joy on his face: "The magical and magnificent structure and setting, the creativity is so good, and the drawing will definitely catch fire." "More importantly, the surrounding potential is huge!" "The first one is so good, if the latter are the same, then really..." Thinking of this, Ma Tengdong immediately took out the second sealed bag, opened it, and pulled out the file. "Naruto"... "Detective Conan"¡­¡­ After reading the book locally, Ma Tengdong was completely immersed in joy and reverie, and his mood was extremely excited. Until the evening, Ma Tengdong was still watching. Early the next morning, Ma Tengdong found Xia Yu, staring at the dark circles and red eyes. This image surprised Xia Yu, and Ma Tengdong''s words made him laugh. "Chairman, I have read all the cartoon plans and outlines you gave me. Did you draw them all? That''s amazing. With your cartoons, don''t say four points, even ten points I have confidence!" "Absolutely can sweep the island country comics world, absolutely no opponent!" Ma Tengdong said excitedly. "Tengdong, don''t get excited, sit down and say!" Xia Yu said dumbfoundedly, letting Ma Tengdong sort his mind. Ma Tengdong took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his mood. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu felt amused, but he was relieved to think about it. He has put "Sailor Moon", "Inuyasha", "Digimon", "Game King", "Naruto", "Full Time Master", "Full Time Hunter", "Detective Conan", "Transformers", Spirit of Go, "Captain Tsubasa", "Slam Dunk", "Baseball Hero", "Saint Seiya", "Four Wheels Brothers", "Reaper", "Death Note", "Gintama", "Sword Art Online", " "Fist of the North Star", "You Yu Hakusho", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", and "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" have not yet come out, but the comic outline and planning that have a huge influence in later generations are given to Ma Tengdong. These are basically drawn by the comic magazines of Future Shueisha, Xiaoshukan, Kodansha, etc., and they are the best works of each period. Now they are all drawn by Jiuding Animation. It is equivalent to cutting off the future of the island country''s comics industry, using their things to sling them, casting the myth of Jiuding anime. "Milky Way" is absolutely invincible dominates the island country''s comics industry and beat the original comic overlord crying father and mother. It is nothing more than harming others and self-interest. "Tengdong, these comics should be drawn as soon as possible, and patents must be registered. Even the characters must be registered. For example, in Transformers, each character and car model cannot be let go. Anyway, it is only a little bit, which can involve peripheral interests. Let it go, copyright must be registered!" When Ma Tengdong calmed down a bit, Xia Yu solemnly said. "Chairman rest assured, I will not be out of the basket!" Ma Tengdong immediately responded. After experiencing the sinister incident of the Yiqiao Group, the importance of patents and copyrights was highlighted. He would pay attention without Xia Yu''s reminder. "In addition, continue to recruit manpower. The current manpower is not enough to complete these comics. I will draw them as soon as possible and let the comic magazines be published as soon as possible. I hope that one day, I will see Meng Huanrui burn the four magazines to rank the top four of the island country comics." "Do you have confidence?" At the end, Xia Yu suddenly raised the volume. "Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Ma Tengdong was taken aback, but he even raised his head and shouted loudly, with blood boiling in his heart. "Go, summarize the characteristics of each comic into four comics, and strive for an early interview. Don''t miss such a good opportunity." "Yes!" Afterwards, Ma Tengdong left the office with enthusiasm and began to get busy frantically. And Xia Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and after completing the last push in the comics industry, he was finally relieved. With these top comics, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will definitely be able to ascend the first place in the comic market in the future. Not only is the island country number one, it can also be the number one in the world! In this regard, Xia Yu has absolute confidence! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 507: 880 million US dollars At the Tokyo station of Sanwa Bank, Kazuya Fukuhara was rarely late this day. He just got out of the car, but happened to see a familiar person appearing at the bank gate. It seemed that it was seen off by another deputy general manager, but the deputy general manager. The manager seemed ugly. And the person he sent off turned out to be Wang Qi! Fukuhara Kazuo glanced at the deputy general manager who turned and left, frowned slightly, then showed an enthusiastic smile, and walked towards Wang Qi. "Mr. Wang, good morning, long time no see!" Fukuhara Kazuya smiled and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Fukuhara, long time no see!" Wang Qi also shook hands warmly to say hello. "By the way, Mr. Wang, you don''t have to tell me in advance when you come to the bank. If I have something to do for you, why bother to do it yourself?" Fukuhara Kazuya said enthusiastically, but the light in his eyes revealed that there was something in his words. In order to entangle Jiuding Securities Company, he gave Wang Qi the maximum allotment authority, and the relationship between the two is not bad. Only this time, Wang Qi unexpectedly cooperated with another deputy general manager and his competitor, which made Fukuhara Kazuo also frowned. Jiuding Securities is well-known, strong, and with the background behind him. With such an excellent partner, Kazuo Fukuhara does not want to be dragged away by competitors, so he naturally wants to find out. I don¡¯t know if Wang Qi really didn¡¯t understand it or not. He said casually: ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. I¡¯m too embarrassed to trouble Mr. Fukuhara. Before that, I had a business relationship with your bank and I had to come here by myself.¡± "Oh, I see." With only partial information, Fukuhara Kazuo was also a little disappointed. He said politely: "Mr. Wang, would you like to go in for a cup of tea?" Wang Qi looked at his watch and apologized: "Mr. Fukuhara, thank you, but I happen to have something to do, and time is a little tight. Should I invite you next time?" "It''s okay, you have to be busy beforehand, and you can talk when you have time!" Fukuhara Kazuya hurriedly said with a smile, and then watched Ma Tengdong leave before he narrowed his smile. Returning to his office thoughtfully, Kazuo Fukuhara thought for a moment, and then called a few people to ask them to help find out what Wang Qi had said to his competitors. Although they are in charge of different businesses, Fukuhara Kazuo is the top of the bank after all. When he can¡¯t understand, he doesn¡¯t understand a lot of information, but with his authority, he can still know many things. So it didn¡¯t take long for Wang Qi¡¯s business relationship to appear. In front of Fukuhara Kazuya. When he saw the numbers above, Fukuhara Kazuo couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. "Unexpectedly, Jiuding Securities still has transactions with the bank in the foreign exchange allocation business, this time it turned out to be repayment." "The principal amount of 20 million U.S. dollars has leveraged fifty times the leverage, and the total capital is one billion U.S. dollars, all of which are used to speculate in U.S. dollars/yen?" As the deputy general manager of the bank, Fukuhara Kazuya has a very comprehensive ability. Although he is not responsible for the business of the foreign exchange market, he also pays attention to the situation of the foreign exchange market every day. Looking at the time, Fukuhara Kazuya recalled a little, thinking that when Jiuding Securities applied for capital allocation, the USD/JPY exchange rate seemed to be around 240. But he looked at the foreign exchange market yesterday, and the USD/JPY exchange rate was 196.5842. Jiuding Securities Company is now coming to pay back the money, which means that they have completed the settlement and have collected the money and left the market! However, thinking of the exchange rate from 240 points to the current 196 points, in less than two months, the exchange rate difference is so large. After a little calculation, Kazuya Fukuhara helped Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. calculate this profit, which reached US$224.49 million! The principal of 20 million US dollars has doubled eleven times in less than two months, which is terrible! Fukuhara Kazuo couldn''t help taking a breath, and his mind kept shaking. Fortunately, Jiuding Securities Co. did not find Sanhe Bank to make the market, but applied for leveraged capital allocation. The target of the market making was the central bank of the island country. If Jiuding Securities is looking for Sanhe Bank to make the market, then the loss will be counted on Sanhe Bank. But no matter what, the funds came from Sanhe Bank, so the central bank¡¯s losses are partly responsible for Sanhe Bank. It¡¯s no wonder that its competitors look ugly. Although he is also the deputy general manager of Sanhe Bank, Kazuo Fukuhara did not care about the negative impact on the bank. He paid more attention to Jiuding Securities. A few days ago, Jiuding Securities Co. had tossed the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group. Kazuya Fukuhara specially sent someone to inquire and learned the inside information. After careful analysis, a conclusion is reached that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has made a net profit of at least 12 billion yen. In addition to the huge profits, what made Fukuhara Kazuya look and sigh the most was the process, step by step, step by step, closely linking Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group to life and death. And the whole process also included public opinion wars, industry competitions, and financial wars. The grand layout made Fukuhara Kazuya amazed and deeply experienced the powerful strength and outstanding abilities of Xia Yu and his subordinates. Unexpectedly, those were only the tip of the iceberg, and Fukuhara Kazuo admired the operation foreign exchange that broke out at this time. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to get acquainted with Xia Yu and others, have a thorough discussion, and build a good relationship. If he had such ability, his possibility of realizing his ideal would definitely increase several times. Unfortunately he didn''t. But it''s not impossible to change the angle, you don''t have to come by yourself, it can also be of great help to yourself. After thinking for a while, Kazuya Fukuhara finally made a decision. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so you can work together and rely on Sanhe Bank. I believe Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. should not refuse. ... However, after Wang Qi''s side left Sanhe Bank, he ran to another bank. These days, his main focus is on harvesting foreign exchange. As the USD/JPY exchange rate approaches the hypothetical point of 195, Wang Qi''s heartstring becomes tighter. A total of more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars, a total of 87 million US dollars in principal, divided into multiple bank funds, a total of 4.1 billion US dollars into the huge foreign exchange market, an average of 239 US dollars per day After the yuan exchange rate was completed, 980 billion yen was exchanged. But at this point in time, due to the large fluctuations in the exchange rate, the 980 billion yen can be converted to nearly five billion US dollars! Although the Tokyo foreign exchange market is huge, nearly five billion US dollars is a huge amount. It is too difficult to deliver and exchange within one or two days, and it will cause certain fluctuations. Therefore, Wang Qi had to extend the acceptance time and withdraw the funds one by one. Fortunately, when the US dollar/yen exchange rate reached 196.0845, all Japanese yen was converted into US dollars and escaped smoothly. After some operations, after deducting the cost of capital allocation by major banks in two months, the net profit reached 880 million US dollars! Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is 4.048 billion Hong Kong dollars! When this number came out, even though Wang Qi had counted countless times in his heart, he was still shocked and could not speak. In the end, all the shock, excitement and emotion turned into infinite worship and admiration for Chairman Xia Yu. Only a **** can do this, the chairman is definitely the **** of wealth! Just when Jiuding Securities completed the closing, the Galaxy Fund, which has a larger amount of funds, also completed the delivery, and the funds left the market safely! PS: Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 508: 0 billion in revenue, double assets When Xia Yu came to the resident of the Galaxy Fund, he heard the laughter from the meeting room, he smiled and pushed open the concealed door. "It seems you are in a good mood!" Xia Yu laughed loudly, glanced away, Liu Xiao and other high-level officials were all here, and there were many materials in front of everyone. Seeing Xia Yu suddenly appear, everyone immediately stood up straight and respectfully greeted Xia Yu: "Hello boss!" The title of Xia Yu by Liu Xiao and others is different from the title of Xia Yu by Wang Qi and others. Galaxy Fund exists alone and does not have a board of directors. It is decided by Xia Yu, so Liu Xiao and others naturally call Xia Yu the boss. But Wang Qi and others are different, because Jiuding Securities, Jiuding Animation and other companies have been integrated. In addition to being the general manager of each company, they are also directors of financial groups or cultural media groups. Xia Yu became the chairman of the board. Apparently suitable. Of course, Xia Yu didn''t care about these titles. Anyway, these subordinates respect him and do things for him. The rest are minor issues. "Everyone is so happy and made a lot of money? Is there two million dollars?" Xia Yu came to the first person casually to sit down, leaned on the back, and asked with interest. As soon as these words came out, the smiles on Liu Xiao and others'' faces appeared again. "Boss, we were talking about this just now, everyone made two million dollars, and I made the most, 2.84 million dollars!" Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu Xiao said aloud. "Not bad!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, happy for Liu Xiao, then looked at other people and asked, "What about you?" "Boss, I made 2.47 million US dollars." Xue He, head of the No. 2 Fund, said. "Boss, I made 2.54 million US dollars." ... Seeing everyone reporting their gains with joy, Xia Yu didn''t mind, but was happy for them to make money. This is what they deserve. Xia Yu has to carry out various plans, and Liu Xiao and others are the implementers. Any information cannot be concealed from them, lest accidents cause the plan to fail. Information and capital are two great tools for success. Liu Xiao and others make money for Xia Yu every day. Seeing such a large flow of funds and a series of opportunities to make a fortune, it is impossible for them not to be tempted. Therefore, Xia Yu follows the unspoken rules of the financial industry and allows traders and other key personnel to operate, but the investment limit should not be too much to avoid affecting the plan. This time, Liu Xiao and others invested almost all of the remaining bonuses awarded to them by Xia Yu, so that they could earn at least two million US dollars. With real benefits, they would not want to pay Xia Yu to avoid the bad betrayal incidents, and also tied them to the boat so that they could do things for him more faithfully. "It seems that after you return to Xiangjiang, all of you can become multi-millionaires, not bad!" Xia Yu smiled and said, according to the exchange rate, their more than two million US dollars can be converted into more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. "This is your boss''s support to us. Without you, we would not have everything." No. 4 Fund Manager Li De licked his face and flattered, his eyes full of worship at Xia Yu. "Yes, thank you boss for letting us follow along." ... Listening to the gratitude from several people, Xia Yu''s heart warmed and said encouragingly: "This is just the beginning. As long as you work hard, it will not be difficult to become a billionaire in the future, and it is not Hong Kong dollars, but US dollars or pounds! " Hearing this, Xue He and the others'' hearts beat wildly, their faces turned flush, and they all said in a loud voice: "Boss, rest assured, we will work hard and will not disappoint you!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. After the small chat, Xia Yu asked about the profitability of this plan. Liu Xiao immediately handed the statistics table to Xia Yu: "Boss, this is a detailed income statement. All funds are lying in an anonymous account." Xia Yu nodded slightly, took the statistical table, and browsed it. The table lists the detailed profitability of the four funds respectively, how much capital enters the market at what point, which bank to look for, how many times the financial leverage is used, and at what point to cash out, etc., are very detailed , Show that he has never done anything. The four funds, with a total of 570 million Hong Kong dollars, or 124 million US dollars in principal, moved 5.82 billion US dollars into the market, basically exchanged into Japanese yen between 239-240 points, and the total capital amount was close to 140 billion yen. . Profits are also extremely scary. Excluding fees such as leverage service fees, the total profit is US$1.25 billion, which is US$370 million more than Jiuding Securities. Jiuding Securities made 880 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange speculation, and made a total of 72 million U.S. dollars in the First Bridge Group and Otowa Group. The total profit during this period was 952 million U.S. dollars. In total, Xia Yu thought that on this trip to the island country, he earned 2.2 billion US dollars from the financial market alone, which is more than tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a huge wealth. This amount of funds has exceeded the value of his current career assets, which means that his strength has more than doubled without knowing it! Even though Xia Yu''s mentality was super calm, he was still excited. But thinking of now, the world''s top Big Mac consortiums have assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, and Xia Yu''s excitement instantly calmed down. He still has a long way to go and can''t be proud. The changes in Xia Yu''s expression were all seen by Liu Xiao and others. Seeing that the boss''s face was so calm, they were shocked and admired Xia Yu even more. Worthy of being the boss, just this mentality has dumped how many streets they don''t know. You must know that when they calculated this number, they couldn''t help themselves with excitement. It was not their money yet, so they didn''t know what they were so excited. Now seeing the look of the boss, they couldn''t help but feel ashamed and reflect. For a long time, Xia Yu withdrew his gaze from the watch, put down the watch gently, and said with appreciation: "The income is very good, I am very satisfied!" "You have earned so much, and you don''t look down on the bonus I will not give it to you. Next, the International Crude Oil and London Gold Market plan will give you a follow-up quota of 3 million US dollars." It is impossible to operate international crude oil and London gold with such a high leverage as the exchange rate of island countries, so as not to be targeted. Therefore, relaxing the co-investment quota of Liu Xiao and others has little effect. At first I heard that there was no bonus. Liu Xiao and the others were a little bit regretful, but they were not angry. After all, because of the boss, they each earned more than two million US dollars, and the bonuses are indeed not comparable to these. But when they heard that the next action allowed each person to have a quota of three million dollars, Liu Xiao and the others suddenly opened their eyes, their hearts beating wildly, and they were all extremely excited. At this moment, they didn''t care what the bonus was. The boss approved their three-million-dollar ride-hailing quota. They are very confident about the next move. If nothing else, earning a double is absolutely no problem! Sent! "thank you boss!" Liu Xiao took the lead and bowed to Xia Yu, thanking him loudly. "thank you boss!" Others also reacted, thanking in unison, and their faces were full of gratitude. Xia Yu listened with a smile, and it took more than ten seconds to stop them. "Well, you are most grateful to me for doing things seriously in the future." "I will take away 30 million U.S. dollars, and you will transfer the rest to Jiuding Bank. You will return to Xiangjiang first, and make preparations according to the plan you made before!" Xia Yu''s expression was solemn, and he instructed everyone. After that, Xia Yu once again told everyone something, and then left the resident of the Galaxy Fund. After Xia Yu left, Liu Xiao and others started to pack up according to Xia Yu''s instructions, and boarded the plane to Xiangjiang the next day. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:.

He quickly stepped forward and greeted Xia Yu: "Chairman, you are here!" Xia Yu turned his head and saw Ma Tengdong look like a little dusty, he smiled and asked, "How is the plan for opening a store?" Ma Tengdong suddenly smiled and reported the good news to Xia Yu: "Chairman, three-quarters of the plan has been completed. Now 30 stores have been opened. The last ten stores will be completed within one week. Next week You can start business." "Now the island country has forty Manke''s Home stores that are open. Based on the usual average size, total daily revenue can reach 80 million yen!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, calculated a little in his heart, smiled with satisfaction, and said admiringly to Ma Tengdong: "Good job!" After receiving the praise, Ma Tengdong was happy. He thought about it and said: "Chairman, the comics you gave me are creative. I have selected a few of them to be produced in the island branch, and the others have been sent back to the Xiangjiang head office. The personnel have been arranged to form the corresponding creative group, and the creation is in progress." "well!" Next, Ma Tengdong continued to report on the company''s progress, which made Xia Yu very satisfied. "Tengdong, in a moment, I will inject 30 million U.S. dollars into the company. You take the funds to repay the U.S. dollar loan from Sanhe Bank." The topic that Xia Yu suddenly changed, and the thirty million dollars he mentioned, made Ma Tengdong stunned. Immediately, he nodded with joy and incomprehension: "Okay, I will pay back the loan immediately when the funds arrive." "Well, that''s it for the time being, you can go ahead and do it first." After that, Xia Yu didn''t confuse Ma Tengdong, but left the company straight away, thinking that the time to stay in the island country was running out, and there were no important things, so he planned to take Li Qian around. After Xia Yu left, Ma Tengdong sat on the chair with his eyebrows in deep thought, with a puzzled expression on his face. After looking for a loan of 20 million U.S. dollars from Sanhe Bank, Ma Tengdong switched to Japanese Yen to open a store, focusing on the operation of the company, and no longer thought about loans. Now Chairman Xia Yu came here specially and injected 30 million US dollars into the company, asking him to repay the loan. He was immediately puzzled, not knowing why he had to pay it back immediately. Having been with Chairman Xia Yu for so long, Ma Tengdong knew that any of Xia Yu''s actions were meaningful, especially the actions just now, which were even more abnormal. He couldn''t help thinking of Xia Yu''s strange order at the time, asking him to borrow US dollars. After all, Ma Tengdong is not a stupid person. After thinking about it, according to common sense, an idea came to his mind: "Is it an exchange rate issue?" With thoughts together, Ma Tengdong suddenly couldn''t sit still, and wanted to explore the truth. It didn''t take long before he found it. He looked at some of the numbers recorded in his hand with a dumb face, and muttered to himself: "The USD/JPY exchange rate is 1:195.9845. How did the yen rise to this point?" Thinking of the original loan of 20 million US dollars, he exchanged it into Japanese yen at the exchange rate of around 234 points at the time. At that time, he exchanged nearly 4.7 billion yen. But now, if he wants to exchange 4.7 billion yen, he needs 24 million U.S. dollars. But now he only needs to pay back the principal of 20 million US dollars plus some interest. In other words, he just borrowed US dollars and didn''t need to do anything. Now, he has made more than three million US dollars in vain? This is to make big money lying down? The impact of this incident on Ma Tengdong was huge. He suddenly felt that he had opened the door to a new world, and his concept of company management and operation had risen to a level. Thinking divergent, he thought of Jiuding Securities'' operations on the Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group, and thought of the leveraged buyout that Gavin Peter talked to him during a chat. For a long time, Ma Tengdong shook his head to refresh himself, and the more he talked about it, the brighter his eyes: "My vision is still narrow. The company''s operations must have a sufficient overall view and a global perspective to make better plans. Let the company develop better and faster, especially capital, which is the blood of the company''s development, and it should not be underestimated..." "It turns out that this is what the chairman wants me to understand. I finally understand! Unforgettable!" "The loan will be repaid this afternoon. It must be that the exchange rate should reach the top, and the chairman let me repay it. By the way, all the idle funds must be exchanged for US dollars!" The store opening plan is almost over. The revenue of Manke Home is very scary. The company has recently recruited people and published comic magazines. There is no acquisition plan. Therefore, the company¡¯s cash flow is very sufficient and the idle rate is very high. It''s going to call back to Xiangjiang''s parent company. Knowing the exchange rate at this time, naturally you will not let the funds sit idle, or exchange them back to US dollars to preserve their value. Not long afterwards, 30 million U.S. dollars was credited to the company''s account. After Ma Tengdong received it, he immediately made an appointment with Fukuhara Kazuya for repayment, and agreed to meet at Sanhe Bank Tokyo branch at 3pm. In a blink of an eye, it was three o''clock in the afternoon. Ma Tengdong had arrived at Sanhe Bank and was taken to Fukuhara Kazuya''s office by the staff. Kazuya Fukuhara has been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ma Tengdong''s arrival, he immediately smiled and walked over enthusiastically to shake hands and say hello. After the greeting, the two sat on both sides of the coffee table. "Mr. Fukuhara, coming today, I want to return the loan from your bank." Ma Tengdong took a sip of tea and said straight to the subject. Hearing this, Fukuhara Kazuya''s hand that was pouring the tea stiffened, and he frowned slightly and looked at Ma Tengdong: "Mr. Ma, the loan period is three years. It has only been more than a month. Why are you thinking about repayment?" Ma Tengdong smiled faintly and said frankly: "The chairman of the board has injected capital into the company again, and it will not expand for the time being. So much money is also kept, so let me pay it back in advance Chairman? The figure of Xia Yu appeared in Fukuhara Kazuya''s mind. His face changed slightly. He thought of the key points and said to Ma Tengdong with a wry smile: "Mr. Ma, great!" No competitors in the front felt gloating, but I didn''t expect it would be my turn within a few days. Before, he was surprised by Ma Tengdong''s strange request for a loan, but because he did not expect Ma Tengdong to repay the loan in advance, the loan period is three years, so he did not take it anymore. Never wanted to be caught off guard by Ma Tengdong. However, Fukuhara and Kazuo were not angry either. This was because of their own ability to eat. At the beginning, he was willing to borrow money. He could only blame him for not expecting this to cause a loss. Of course, it doesn¡¯t count as a loss. After all, he also released a loan of 20 million US dollars. Sanhe Bank¡¯s US dollar foreign exchange was at least 5 billion US dollars. Because of the depreciation of the US dollar, he suffered huge losses. , It will also lose money when idle. Therefore, compared to anger, Fukuhara also paid more attention to the meaning behind this Sao operation, and he admired and valued Xia Yu more. Ma Tengdong was a little embarrassed, knowing that Fukuhara Kazuo had also reacted, but the interests were the most important, so he said cheeky: "Mr. Fukuhara, what do you think of the arrangement?" "Come with me!" Fukuhara and Kazuo did not entangle anymore, and took Ma Tengdong through multiple processes. After the loan was paid off, he sent Ma Tengdong away from the bank. After returning to the office, Kazuo Fukuhara fell into deep thought. After a long time, Kazuya Fukuhara finally made up his mind: "The ability is beyond doubt. He has the ability, I have the connections and resources, and I have the basis of peer-to-peer cooperation, so I don''t need to observe anymore." After thinking about it, Fukuhara Kazuo also started to act. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 510: A 10% stake in RB TV? Xinfeng Golf Course is located in the outskirts of Tokyo. The location is very superior, the grassland is very comfortable, and all supporting facilities are top-notch. It is the best golf course in Tokyo, and people without a certain status can''t enter. Of course, it has become the first choice for many senior people to have leisure and business conversations. At this moment, a black luxury car drove from far to the door of Xinfeng Golf Course. A young man standing at the door watching from time to time saw the license plate of this car. His eyes lit up and he immediately called the guard to open the door and let him go, and then ran to Xia Yu''s car quickly. Upon seeing this, Wang Qi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, rolled down the window. "Sir, Mr. Fukuhara is at No. 1 Stadium. Just drive in and turn left. You can see it all the way to the end." The youth who ran over said quickly. "I see, thanks!" Wang Qi nodded and thanked him, then rolled the window and let the car drive along the route the young man had said. Soon, the car reached the bottom of the road. After stopping at the parking space, Xia Yu, Wang Qi and others just got off the car, they saw Kazuya Fukuhara approaching with a smile, beside him, they followed at every step. A person. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, thank you for coming!" Fukuhara and Xia Yu also shook hands to say hello, and Xia Yu also responded. "This is my competent subordinate, Ohashi Yasuno, who is now the president of the Yonghe Fund." Fukuhara Kazuo also pointed to the middle-aged islander beside him and introduced Xia Yu, Wang Qi and others. "Hello!" "Fortunately!" He shook hands with Daqiao Kangsheng courteously, Xia Yu''s eyes moved slightly, his mind turned sharply, and he began to ponder. He knew that Kazuo Fukuhara also asked him to play golf with Wang Qi. There must be some purpose. At this moment, a Yonghe Fund suddenly appeared, which was interesting. It depends on what medicine he sells in the gourd! Xia Yu secretly said in his heart, deciding to remain unchanged to respond to all changes, to see what Fukuhara Kazuya wanted to make. After the greeting, Kazuya Fukuhara led the way and led Xia Yu and others into the golf course, choosing each club and equipment, to the course. Xia Yu is both unfamiliar and familiar with golf, because he is unfamiliar because he has never played golf in this life, and he has never played golf in his previous life. But in his memory, the heads of major international companies in Europe and the United States seem to prefer to use golf to talk about things, unlike Huaxia, who likes to talk about things at the wine table. Therefore, the memory of golf is not too much! Raising the pole, Xia Yu looked for feelings, and then swung the club. Just hearing a "bang" sound, the white golf ball turned into a white dot in the air, flew high, drew a perfect parabola in the air, and finally fell to the ground and rolled forward. Fukuhara Kazuya and others watched with breathlessness. It''s a pity that Xia Yukong has memory and lack of practical operating experience, so this shot looked perfect, but in the end he still didn''t score a hole and stayed within ten centimeters of the hole. "Hey, almost, what a pity!" Wang Qi patted his thigh, feeling a pity for Xia Yu. On the contrary, it was Fukuhara Kazuya, admiringly said: "Xia Sheng, you are too good, you hit this distance on the first shot, and you almost made it! If I, the first shot can reach within two meters, it would be super level! " Xia Yu smiled and said modestly: "Just hit it casually, I''m lucky." Having a suitable topic is the beginning of a good communication. Next, the four talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious. Fukuhara Kazuya was a little too enthusiastic, praising Xia Yu and Wang Qi from time to time, but listening to the tone, it was really from the heart. Therefore, Xia Yu is not easy to point out, and can only take a sedan chair to carry people, starting a shameful business model. "Mr. Xia, you started such a big business at a young age. Every time you think about it, I feel ashamed!" Kazuya Fukuhara said with emotion. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and turned his mouth back with a flattery: "Mr. Fukuhara, my ability is average, that is, I am a little lucky. I will be satisfied if I can stand firmly on the top of the Xiangjiang River. Unlike you, I am a Sanhe at a young age. The deputy general manager of the bank, I believe it does not take many years. The position of the president of Sanhe Bank is yours. With the special characteristics of Sanhe Bank, the position of the general manager of Sanhe Consortium is definitely yours. At that time, I will give You don¡¯t have enough shoes!" Fukuhara Kazuo couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. This was something he dreamed of, but it would be better if Xia Yu said it was so easy, and he wouldn''t bother to come and connect with Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, you are just kidding. There are more qualified people in the consortium than I am. It is not my turn. I know myself. I am not that." Fukuhara Kazuya pretended to say. When Xia Yu heard this, he couldn''t help laughing in his heart. He knew Fukuhara Kazuya''s "situation" in his previous life. How could he not know that Fukuhara Kazuya was duplicity at this time? "However, I am very interested in the financial industry, so in addition to working at Sanhe Bank, I also established a Yonghe Fund separately, and I have some achievements. Originally, I was quite contented, but compared with Jiuding Securities, I I am embarrassed!" Fukuhara Kazuya continued, and the topic suddenly extended. Here comes the topic! A thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind, and he rallied, wanting to see what Fukuhara Kazuya thought. For Yonghe Fund, Xia Yu has a rough understanding Some time ago, I learned about the Tokyo financial market every day. Of course, he knew the name of Yonghe Fund. After all, Yonghe Fund is also considered a fairly well-known private equity investment management company, and Xia Yu cannot be ignorant. The only thing he didn''t expect was that the boss behind Yonghe Fund turned out to be Kazuya Fukuhara! It seems that Kazuo Fukuhara deliberately called Wang Qi, and also called Kangsheng Ohashi, the person in charge of the Yonghe Fund. The purpose should be to cooperate with him in the financial market! "Boom!" "it is good!" Xia Yu shot the golf straight into the hole with one shot, and Kazuo Fukuhara immediately applauded Xia Yu. For Fukuhara Kazuya''s intention, Xia Yu naturally welcomes, or finally waits until he is hooked. But knowing that going to know that at a critical moment, he can''t lose the initiative, just to ensure his own interests. "Mr. Fukuhara, I have also learned about Yonghe Fund. I didn''t expect it to be your company. It has a sharp investment vision. There are many things I can learn from." Xia Yu touted. After coming down so many times, Xia Yu is still slippery. Fukuhara and Kazuo also know that he must show his attitude. If he drags on like this, he will be disappointed today. Therefore, he directly changed a topic and threw out today''s dry goods. "Mr. Xia, I really admire you. Not only is the financial industry strong, but the media industry is a generation hegemon. I admire you!" "It happens that I have a 10% stake in Japan TV. I wonder if you are interested?" Fukuhara Kazuya said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking forward to Xia Yu, who had a noticeable movement. PS: 99,000 recommended tickets, so please ask for a monthly ticket! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 511: Deep cooperation Xia Yu paused and raised his head to look at Kazuya Fukuhara. With four eyes facing each other, Xia Yu saw something in Fukuhara Kazuya''s eyes. He did not hide it, showing an expression of interest, and smiled calmly: "I didn''t expect Mr. Fukuhara to have equity in Japan TV. Of course I was interested. " Xia Yu didn''t believe in what Fukuhara Kazuya said. He happened to have equity in Nippon Television in his hand. It''s not such a coincidence. It must be Kazuya Fukuhara who thought he would be interested, so he bought it and used it to attract others. But it doesn''t matter how it came, the important thing is that Xia Yu was really tempted by it. Nippon Television is a Japanese radio television station with the Kanto region as its broadcasting area. It is also the first commercial television station established and launched in Japan. It recognizes the call sign as JOAX-DTV and is also referred to as "AX" in the industry. In 1966, Nippon Television began to organize the Nippon News Network with the mutual assistance of news program resources as the core with TV stations in other regions, and then organized the Nippon Television Networks Association (NNS) in 1972, gradually constructing a nationwide simulcast network . Therefore, as one of the five major commercial TV stations, Japan Television has achieved full coverage of the island country with its signals and programs, and its influence is amazing! If you can buy shares or even buy, then it will help Xia Yu''s career too much! Xia Yu is determined to be a media tycoon, and of course he has a relatively deep understanding of the media industry in the surrounding countries of Xiangjiang, so he also knows that Japanese TV has an extremely attractive thing. That is, Nippon Television, as a subsidiary of Yomiuri News Corporation, Japan''s largest media group, is controlled by Yomiuri News Corporation. However, Nippon Television also holds a 6.2% stake in the Yomiuri News Corporation. If you make good use of it, this is a stepping stone, and it is also a special bond. You can see how to use it when you see it. But if you want to use it, the premise is to buy the Japanese TV station! This difficulty is too great. As a Xiangjiang native, Xia Yu wanted to acquire Nippon TV. It was a wishful thinking that the Americans or the six major consortiums of the island countries might come forward. However, Xia Yu still has a thought. It is always right to be prepared in advance. If an opportunity comes, but let the opportunity slip away because of unpreparedness, that is the most uncomfortable. So no matter what, since Fukuhara and Kazuo also threw this bait, Xia Yu decided to eat it first! "It just happens that I hold it and it''s useless. Since Mr. Xia is interested, let''s transfer the equity to you!" Fukuhara Kazuo also smiled and said straightforwardly. Such simple words made Xia Yu happy, and he asked: "Mr. Fukuhara, I don''t know much about the situation of Japanese TV stations, so I can bother you to make a price!" Kazuya Fukuhara nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "Mr. Xia, I will give you a real price, 10% of the equity is priced at 8.8 billion yen, and I can help you with the ten times leveraged acquisition of Sanwa Bank. Now only 880 million yen is needed!" Nippon TV is worth 88 billion yen! This price is really real, there is no water, the most important thing is that Fukuhara Kazuo is willing to help provide financial leveraged buyout again! Of course Xia Yu has no objection to such good conditions! Therefore, he smiled and agreed without hesitation: "Mr. Fukuhara, thank you! Then I will be ashamed!" Fukuhara Kazuo also shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Xia, it''s useless for me to take this equity. Are we friends? I will be happy to help you." "Yes, we are friends!" Xia Yu laughed, followed his words, and shook hands with him heavily. Kazuya Fukuhara felt at ease, knowing that his purpose shouldn''t be a big problem. As the saying goes, eating people''s mouths is short of people''s hands, and Fukuhara Kazuo also showed sincerity, and Xia Yu also has to reciprocate, so that the oral agreement reached can be implemented on paper. Therefore, he finally said what Fukuhara Kazuya also wanted: "Mr. Fukuhara, Jiuding Securities has just come to the island country. Its strength is still weak and many situations are not understood. In the future, it will rely on your Yonghe Fund to cooperate and support." Fukuhara Kazuya smiled even more, and immediately said: "Mr. Xia joked, I know that your Jiuding Securities is stronger than my Yonghe Fund. Of course, I don¡¯t underestimate myself. After a long time, Yonghe Fund always has some Basically, it may be what Jiuding Securities lacks in this fashion. If our two companies cooperate in-depth, we will definitely be able to complement each other and make the company develop better and faster!" Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, became interested, put down his cue, and listened: "It does make sense. I wonder if Mr. Fukuhara has any ideas?" "It''s not as good as the two of us cooperate to establish a company, how about the resource sharing, you have the ability, I have connections and resources, I believe the prospects should be good!" After Fukuhara Kazuya finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu scorchingly. This is his purpose today. The more he understands Xia Yu, the more he is shocked by Xia Yu''s financial talent and strength. When resources are not enough, Xia Yu can be upset in the financial market, and the Hong Kong consortiums large and small have suffered heavy losses and won the "stock god". title. Although it was Wang Qi who performed it, how could someone at the height of Fukuhara Kazuya not know the specific truth? For this reason, in Fukuhara Kazuya''s view, Xia Yu''s current financial industry strength is very strong, that is, geographical restrictions, and now he has begun to enter the island country, which is the best time to make cooperation. As for him, as he himself said, he has connections and resources, and his strength is not bad. As long as he comes forward, he can easily solve many problems that Xia Yu Xiangjiang cannot solve, and his family is the core family of the Sanhe Consortium, and he himself is the deputy general manager of Sanhe Bank, Sanhe Consortium and Sanhe Bank. He can borrow or even use all of his contacts and resources. If a branch is established, as long as Xia Yu operates sincerely, the prospects will be infinitely bright, and it is very possible to become the top financial company in the island country. By that time, with this card in his hand, it will be much easier for him to realize his dream! Xia Yu didn''t care about Fukuhara Kazuya''s scorching eyes, but contemplated. Although this is in his arms, it involves the issue of interests and needs to think clearly. After thinking about it, he looked at Kazunari Fukuhara and said, "Mr. Fukuhara, your proposal is very attractive. Cooperation will benefit both. It is perfectly possible to establish a joint venture company, but how should the specific equity be divided?" Kazuya Fukuhara was delighted and immediately said the plan he had already thought of: "The new company, Yonghe Fund 51%, Jiuding Securities 49%." Xia Yu frowned and immediately vetoed: "Mr. Fukuhara, this can''t be done. If you want us to put more effort into business, we can''t use our hands and feet without a controlling stake. Network and resources are not indispensable. " "I think the new company should be 51% of us and 49% of Yonghe Fund." Fukuhara Kazuya argued several times again, but Xia Yu just refused to be the second largest shareholder, so he could only sigh secretly, and it really didn''t work. Fortunately, he didn''t have much hope for this idea, so he said the real plan: "Mr. Xia, let''s not fight anymore. Let''s step back and take 50% equity each!" Xia Yu agreed: "Yes!" Afterwards, the two discussed the details, and then handed over to Daqiao Kangsheng and Wang Qi to be responsible for the docking. After the cooperation was reached, he chatted for a long time, and Fukuhara Kazuo also prepared lunch. Xia Yu was invited to go there. At the dinner table, with the rise of chat, Kazuo Fukuhara also selectively talked about many things that Xia Yu was interested in. For example, some things related to the Sanhe consortium gave Xia Yu a certain in-depth understanding of the Sanhe consortium. After returning, Wang Qi acted immediately. First, he reached a tripartite agreement with Fukuhara Kazuya and Sanwa Bank to buy a 10% stake in Nippon Television at a price of 880 million yen. In order to make use of it as soon as possible, 10% of Nippon Television¡¯s equity was directly transferred to Jiuding Culture Media Group. I believe that with this as a bridge, Jiuding Culture Media Group''s newspaper companies, Global Television and Jiuding Animation and other subsidiaries will receive a certain degree of bonuses in the island country''s business. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: Chapter 512: Business flourishes After acquiring the equity of Nippon Television, Wang Qi began to work for the joint venture. The full name of the joint venture company is Jiuding Yonghe Securities. Both parties will inject 1 billion yen each to directly acquire one or several small securities companies, improve the license, and speed up the progress. Wang Qi is in charge of these matters, and Xia Yu no longer asks. Xia Yu just told Wang Qi that this joint-venture securities company can develop normally, use its own capabilities and resources to develop and grow, and use this bond to maintain the relationship between the two parties, but to grasp the scale, there are some secrets that can only be done. Securities companies do, of course, sometimes they can take a place appropriately without affecting the plan. Wang Qi readily understood Xia Yu''s meaning. After the arrangement, Xia Yu packed up his things and set off to return to Xiangjiang. However, Ma Tengdong, Gavin Peter and Wang Qi still need to stay in the island country for some time due to work needs. As for the net of Ling Fei, he stayed in the island country and is still conscientiously building the net. The plane took off and landed, and All Nippon Airways¡¯ Boeing plane landed at Hong Kong¡¯s Kai Tak International Airport. When Xia Yu came out of the VIP channel, he saw several luxury cars parked together. A group of people were waiting there. Among them was He Chaoqiong, a girl fluttering in white. Xia Yu and Li Qian looked at each other, then smiled and walked quickly towards He Chaoqiong who was flying. "Xia Yu, you are finally back!" He Chaoqiong cheered and jumped into Xia Yu''s arms without being shy. Xia Yu hugged her tightly. "Chao Qiong, I am back, I have kept you waiting!" Xia Yu said softly, holding He Chaoqiong and did not separate. Several of Xia Yu''s subordinates looked at each other, all of them lowered their heads and pretended to be blind. At this time, Li Qian walked to Xia Yu''s side. He Chaoqiong saw it, and then gently struggled out of Xia Yu''s embrace, and smiled sweetly at Li Qian: "Sister, it''s been a long time since I saw you, you are more beautiful again!" "Sister, too, no wonder Xia Yu always wanted to come back when he was in Japan, because there is still a beauty waiting for him in Xiangjiang!" Li Qian took He Chaoqiong''s jade hand and said with a chuckle. "really?" He Chaoqiong was immediately surprised, blinking his big eyes, full of joy, and looked at Xia Yu as if he wanted to confirm. Xia Yu secretly sighed that Li Qian could talk, nodded with a smile, making He Chaoqiong smile like a flower. The chat continued until Xia Yu put everything in the car, and Xia Yu and others got in the car and left. After returning home, Xia Yu brought gifts to He Chaoqiong, his parents, younger siblings, and others. He was so busy that the day passed. Xia Yu never asked about his career, and Yan Wenhan and other subordinates also knew that the chairman had just returned, so he didn''t come to disturb him wittily, so Xia Yu had a comfortable day. The next day, the chores were finished, and time was urgent, Xia Yu came to Jiuding Building and began to deal with company affairs. At the same time, the person in charge of each subsidiary company also reported the progress and achievements of their respective companies to Xia Yu as if they had been discussed. The first to come was Yan Wenhan, whose company was in Jiuding Building. The reporting situation is the same. The major newspapers and magazines of the newspaper company are operating well. The most outstanding performance is the latest "Fengyun Weekly". The weekly sales are rising, and the weekly circulation has risen to 840,000. this. In addition to the existing magazines and newspapers, Yan Wenhan reported more on the progress of the new magazines being prepared. Jiuding Newspaper Company is already the leading overlord, and the company''s treatment is also very good in all aspects, so it is very attractive to talents in the media industry. In order to prepare for several magazines, Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. recruited talents from outside. The applicants were like clouds, the best were selected, and a lot of talents were collected. Thanks to the efforts of these high-quality talents, the rapid progress of several magazines made Xia Yu very satisfied. In addition to the results, Xia Yu also dealt with problems. Yan Wenhan reported that there were no problems. Xia Yu also thought about it. The company''s revenue is strong, there is no shortage of money and no platform, and there should be no problems. After that, Xia Yu encouraged Yan Wenhan and let him go down. After that, it was Global TV Station. The changes can be said to be huge. When Huang Xizhao reported on work, his voice was also louder, which shows that he does have a certain amount of confidence. The real situation is indeed very good. The ratings of the ace show "Millionaire" are still very hot. After all, six people successfully took away one million Hong Kong dollars. Each time it caused a huge sensation. The ratings of this show have stabilized at the same time as the dominant player. It doesn''t matter how much TVB struggles to fight. TVB made a similar program, but because the patent was stuck and the essence could not be copied, it could only draw tigers but not anti-dogs. The ratings were embarrassing, and Fang Yihua couldn''t make ends meet. Naturally, Fang Yihua was reluctant to spend money in each issue, viewers and competition. Of course, the players are not fools, so vicious, and in the end this show can only be cut off hastily. In addition to "Millionaire", the most eye-catching feature of Universal Television is the animation. Four animations such as "Dragon Ball" and "Pokemon" are broadcast in turn. Universal Television has established an indelible impression in the minds of young people. The threshold of cartoons is even higher, and TVB is more difficult to fight, so I can only bow my head and give in, and watch the universal TV station dominate. As for other originally planned programs, news programs are the first to go online, because they are backed by Jiuding News Agency, and the conditions are mature, and they can be produced once they are well organized. Therefore, the four news programs of "Chao Wen Tian Xia", "Noon News", "News 30 Minutes" and "Global Sight" have all come out. The linkage effect is significant. High-quality and comprehensive news is very popular with audiences, and the ratings are very good. ! Comparing with TVB, the audience can vote directly with their feet. Whenever they want to watch the news, they switch to Global TV. It can be said that Global TV has left the audience with the impression of "news watching the world". "Natural Money" and "Global Market" have just been released The ratings are very good, and the reputation is very good. I believe that as time goes by, the more verifications, the more the audience will realize the value and the ratings The rate will get higher and higher. The final "Focus Interview" and "Gold Medal Mediation" are relatively troublesome and are still in preparation, but Huang Xizhao promises to start broadcasting in about half a month. As a result, Universal Television has achieved suppression and contending with wireless television stations in many aspects, and the overall ratings have been equal to that of wireless television stations, achieving an even share of the world. It is a pity that "Looking for the Qin" and "Central Change" are still being filmed. Jin Yong''s martial arts drama has just started, and the script of "Shanghai Beach" is being produced. In the field of TV dramas, Universal Television is still at a disadvantage. Huang Xizhao also said that because of the constant big moves of Global TV, the wireless guy Shao Yifu was nervous and made frequent big moves, but neither Huang Xizhao nor Xia Yu were worried about this. Huang Xizhao is confident that as soon as these TV shows come out, TVB will definitely be stepped on. This day, it will not be too far! Chapter 513: 9 Tripod Plaza After that, it was the Global Brokerage Company under Universal Television, and Huang Xizhao asked Chen Shufen to report directly. Xia Yu told Chen Shufen about many successful artist brokerage business ideas during his previous inspections at the Global Brokerage Company. Chen Shufen deserves to be the first gold broker in Hong Kong, and he is very talented in this regard. Under the active learning and utilization, the global brokerage company backed by the large resources of the Jiuding Consortium, the business development is very smooth, and the development is very good. Chen Shufen also joked with Xia Yu that, because of the soaring income of artists from the global agency, many artists'' hearts have fluctuated, and the pressure on many peer film companies has increased. Wu Siyuan of Yinhe Film Company under Jiuding Culture Media Group opened a movie by himself and invested in three films at the same time. Because the time is short, and Wu Siyuan strictly follows Xia Yu''s requirements and completes the script before shooting , So there hasn¡¯t been a film yet. After that, the Global Cinemas Company, of course, has not yet been listed, and it is still hidden under the name of Anle Cinemas. With the support of Jiuding Bank, Jiang Zhiqiang made a wanton acquisition. The theater chain expanded directly from the original four theaters to 20. There are five large-scale theaters or movie theaters with more than 1,000 seats, and medium-sized theaters with 500-1,000 seats. There are eleven and four small movie theaters, including the Taiping Theater, which is named by Xia Yute and Xiangjiang. Twenty theaters and movie theaters, both in terms of number and number of seats and screens, directly surpassed the Shaw Cinemas and Jiahe Cinemas, ranking first in Hong Kong. According to Xia Yu¡¯s instructions, Jiang Zhiqiang transformed all theaters and movie theaters into multi-hall theaters. Each movie theater has three specifications: hall, middle hall, and small hall. At that time, the film party can choose according to the strength of the contractor. Maximize value. After all, some film studios with poor strength or lack of confidence can completely contract a small hall of a large movie theater with a large flow of people to test the market response and test the popularity of the film at the least cost. Of these twenty theaters, six of them are undergoing studio transformation, which is the most difficult and takes the longest time. In some places, the number of people is less than the standard. If the flow of people is not up to the standard, no movie theater will be built. , It only needs internal renovation, plus the addition of supporting peripheral shops and 7-11 convenience stores. At present, five small and medium theaters have been renovated and reopened. Although the global theater chain is already strong, Jiang Zhiqiang is very low-key and did not yell to the outside world. He keeps in mind Xia Yu''s strategy of "building walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king". It''s a pity that the movie industry in Hong Kong says big and small, so many cinemas and theaters have changed owners, and they have begun drastic changes one after another, it is difficult not to attract attention. There are many opinions in the entertainment media, and one of the most marketable speculations is that the Jiuding Consortium has entered the theater industry. According to media statistics, a total of 23 theaters and movie theaters in Hong Kong have recently been renovated and reorganized. This is definitely a premeditated action, and the general power does not have this strength. The most important thing is that the media has also secretly investigated. There are 20 theaters and movie theaters. The renovation contractors are all from Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., and the reopened movie theaters. Although they are not listed in a unified manner, they are all equipped with 7-11. Convenience store. And 7-11 convenience store is exactly the retail brand of Jiuding Retail Group. Because of this speculation that is extremely close to the truth, many related companies under the Jiuding Consortium have been taken care of by the media, but no one has responded positively. Even so, it has caused a shock in the film and television industry, especially Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, both of them are worried and are ready to fight like thieves. Facing the possibility that the Jiuding Consortium might be a competitor, Wrinkle Huai and Shao Yifu even abandoned their previous suspicions and saw it in secret. Whether it was a movie produced by Shaw Films or Jiahe Pictures, they were not shown in Xia Yu''s cinema. But Jiang Zhiqiang didn''t care, because he had made this preparation right from the beginning, so he strengthened his cooperation with other film companies. The five cinemas that have already opened have a good income and expenditure. When the time comes, Jiang Xieqiang will tell Shao Yifu and Wrinkle Huai that it will be useless to resist. Now that most theaters are still under renovation, it''s not the time to fight back, let''s immerse ourselves in development. Let''s talk about Jiuding Real Estate Group. After the integration, it has become formal. Liu Shihao did not let Xia Yu down. Jiuding Real Estate Group is already developing new real estate and is planning and perfecting the Harbour City. At the same time, Liu Shihao opened a new Jiuding Plaza project based on the original revised design. It is located in the prosperous heart of Hong Kong Island-Causeway Bay District. It uses the original land of the Hong Kong Tram Factory. The overall architectural design consists of two separate buildings. The 46-storey and 39-storey office buildings are visible at a glance no matter where you are, and are properly designed as a landmark. The shopping mall is designed to cover a total area of ??900,000 square feet, and the Grade A office building covers a total area of ??more than 1 million square feet. The four-story basement parking lot has a total of 700 parking spaces. The design is the largest parking lot in Causeway Bay. In Liu Shihao¡¯s plan, it was to build the largest commercial complex in Hong Kong, and to build the iconic building of Jiuding Real Estate Group, one east and one west, with Jiuding Plaza and Harbour City as the two pillars, laying the sky of Jiuding Real Estate Group column. Now that Jiuding Square has started construction, Liu Shihao is very motivated. In Jiuding Financial Group, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. needs no further mention, and its development is very good. The focus is on Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Bank. Jason Gregg deserves to be a great talent in the insurance industryJiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. is in his hands, almost the same every day, he has made full use of the backing resources of the Jiuding Consortium. Jason Gregg took Xia Yu¡¯s instructions and signed a contract with all companies under the Jiuding Consortium, and all the insurance that needs to be purchased was transferred to Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. If it is not yet due, the number of people will be counted to sign the agreement. It will take effect directly after one year. It is already December anyway, and it has not been long since January 1979. In addition, Jason Gregg deeply understands the importance of marketing and service teams, focusing on building and training Jiuding Insurance''s sales team and after-sales compensation system. With the golden sign of "Jiuding", the public''s recognition is very high. Under multiple influences, the amount of insurance has increased rapidly. As for the most important Jiuding Bank, because there are still extremely important things to remind Liu Tianci, Xia Yu went directly to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank in Central. In the office of the president of Jiuding Bank, Xia Yu and Liu Tianci sat face to face and drank tea leisurely. Putting down the tea cup, Xia Yu thought of the crowded lobby that he saw when he entered the door just now, and asked in a good mood: "God, how many bank deposits and account openings have reached?" Chapter 514: London Gold Hearing this question, Liu Tianci couldn''t help but smile. Since taking charge of Jiuding Bank, what makes him most happy is the soaring number of account openings and deposits every day. These two things are the foundation of a bank. "Chairman, thanks to the funds cooperating with Jiuding Securities and the attractiveness of high deposit rates, since its opening, the daily business volume has been in a state of fullness. At present, the bank has 218,000 accounts, except for the Jiuding Consortium. Except for a series of company deposits, the remaining deposit amount has reached 1.15 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Liu Tianci said, his tone was slightly excited. "it is good!" Hearing these two numbers, Xia Yu couldn''t help but applaud Liu Tianci by touching his palm, smiling full of appreciation, and his eyes full of admiration. Xia Yu can still remember that when the Guang''an Bank was acquired, the total deposit was only about 200 million Hong Kong dollars. It has only been a long time since the deposit of non-Jiuding Group alone has reached 1.15 billion, which is more than five times that of Jiuding Bank''s development speed! If this internal data is exposed, I don''t know how many banks will be jealous! When he was happy, Xia Yu''s heart moved, he wanted to know the amount of deposits in Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Company. There are too many companies and the income and expenditure are complicated. It is impossible for him to check one by one and then count, and a lot of the money is the money that has not been processed to pay for the business and is temporarily placed in each company account, so he does not know that it is excusable . However, since Xia Yu has set a requirement that the funds of each company go to Jiuding Bank¡¯s account, it is Jiuding Bank to say which company knows the flow of funds of the entire consortium. Therefore, out of curiosity, Xia Yu asked: "God''s gift, plus the demand deposits of brother companies, how much money is in the bank account?" Liu Tianci is so familiar with this number, he blurted out: "The brother company has a total demand deposit of 470 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total bank deposit is 1.62 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "I have specifically learned that among all the domestic and foreign banks in Hong Kong, our bank''s deposit amount can be ranked about 20th." Xia Yu''s eyes were slightly bright, and he smiled and nodded, very satisfied. There are too many local banks and foreign banks in Hong Kong. Jiuding Bank ranks twentieth only by deposits. It is already a large bank. Even if it ranks at the end of a large bank, it is still a large bank. How long did it take to rush from a small bank when Guang''an Bank was first transformed to a large bank, and the growth rate is still rapid, how can Xia Yu be dissatisfied? "But the chairman, although there are so many deposits, it is still not enough. The capital needs of other brother companies are too great." Liu Tianci narrowed his smile and reported to Xia Yu with a slightly serious expression. Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding. If nothing else, just a Jiuding Real Estate Group, if you let go of your hands and feet to start a project and get the land, Jiuding Bank will not be enough to lend all your deposits to Jiuding Real Estate Group! This is the case in the real estate industry. If you want to become bigger and stronger, you must have a powerful bank as its backing. "This is not anxious, deposits are absorbed step by step, and the brother company should take the loan. If it can''t stand it, let the brother company find another bank. After all, Jiuding Bank has just started, and the shortcomings of the capital are understandable, and it is not qualified. Digest all business internally." Xia Yu said softly. Liu Tianci nodded, thought about it, and said, "Chairman, I have some ideas, you can see if it is okay!" Xia Yu raised his brows and slanted slightly, and said with interest: "Let''s talk." "Although the step-by-step development is stable, I think our bank can speed up the development." "Generally, banks must ensure the adequacy of liquidity to deal with unexpected runs. In addition, they must ensure that loans are given to benign companies as much as possible and can be recovered on schedule to avoid the risk of loss." "But our bank is different. As a consortium''s capital turnover platform, it can deploy the demand deposits of various companies at any time, and has the signboard of the consortium. The possibility of a run on the issue is almost zero." "As for the loan risk, it is also very small. The bank''s funds are given priority to serve the brother companies. Each company is an extremely high-quality company. I believe that you are in control of the chairman and there will be no problems." "So these two risks that other banks are generally worried about do not exist in our bank. I think our bank can expand at a faster pace than other banks." Xia Yu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, then how are you going to expand quickly?" Liu Tianci solemnly uttered six words: "Buy other banks!" Xia Yu condensed his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Tianci''s firm and calm gaze, nodded slightly, and commented: "You have a good idea. As long as you choose the right acquisition target, you can indeed achieve a rapid increase in bank assets in the short term." There is a difference between bank assets and ordinary company assets. The assets of ordinary companies are self-owned assets, but there are many types of bank assets, but they can be summarized as their own net assets and management assets. Own net assets refer to the physical assets and profits owned by the bank itself, which are generally very small. But the management of assets is different, including deposits of depositors, assets pledged by bank loans, and forcible recovery of deducted assets after loans are not collected. Generally speaking, if a well-developed bank has 10 billion assets under management, then the value of this bank is 1.5-6 billion, even if it is well developed. If it is a bank with poor profitability, its value is estimated to be about one-tenth of its total assets. Therefore, Jiuding Bank can spend 100 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase a bank, and it is not a problem to make its management assets soar by 6.7 billion. When acquiring a bank worth 100 million, Jiuding Bank¡¯s value growth will definitely exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars. As long as the merger is done properly, it is easy to achieve a result of 1+3>5. This is why many companies in the world like mergers and acquisitions. The previous Cisco company relied on frantic mergers and acquisitions, and each merger brought the company''s strength to one or several steps, and finally stepped onto the throne of the world''s first company. Therefore, Xia Yu definitely supports Liu Tianci''s ideas. However, now is not the right time! Therefore, Xia Yu shook his head. When Liu Tianci was disappointed, Xia Yu said: "Tianci, your idea is good, I definitely support it, but at this time, it is not suitable for mergers and acquisitions. Banks¡¯ funds are more suitable. , More valuable than M&A companies!" Liu Tianci lifted his spirits, looked at Xia Yu expectantly, and asked: "Chairman, please instruct!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, and said every word: "London Gold!" Liu Tianci was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, and asked with some uncertainty: "You mean the price of gold is going to soar in the near future?" Xia Yu nodded and said: "Yes!" Liu Tianci frowned when he heard the words, and fell into thinking. Chapter 515: Gold, black gold and U.S. dollars Liu Tianci is an outstanding financial talent. He has worked for HSBC for so long and is no stranger to the specific operation of the bank. Therefore, when managing Jiuding Bank, he will naturally not ignore the important influencing factor of international gold prices. Beginning in 1974, the international gold price began to rise. By October 1977, the price of gold had risen from US$130 per ounce to US$180. Then from October 1977, the Federal Reserve began to operate the US dollar periodically and launched a super-loose monetary policy. The US dollar began to depreciate, and it continued to stabilize until October 1978, while the international gold price also rose to the current US$244. the height of. And the "three golds", namely gold, black gold (oil) and the US dollar, have complex connections. In the early 1970s, after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the world currency system built after World War II, the price of gold and oil both deviated from the fixed exchange ratio with the US dollar, and the price surged sharply. The three are closely related and have mutual checks and balances. Relative stability is hidden in each other''s fluctuations, and absolute changes are also present in surface stability. When the U.S. dollar depreciates, capital will choose hard currency gold as a safe haven, global capital will flood into the gold market, and international gold prices will rise. So relatively speaking, Jiuding Bank''s investment in gold can indeed preserve the value of assets and even make profits. However, Liu Tianci has analyzed that the Fed¡¯s cyclical depreciation of the US dollar has been going on for a year, and it will be stable for a relatively long period of time. Now when investing in gold, assets are not rising as fast as they are now. But now the chairman Xia Yu pointed out that the international gold price was going to rise and went to speculate in London gold futures. Liu Tianci believed that his ability and intelligence were not as good as Xia Yu, so there must be some important news that he didn''t know. This is worthy of alert! "Chairman, will the price of gold increase in the future? What is the reason?" Liu Tianci asked, his expression was very serious, and there was a hint of anxiety in his heart. He hoped that the problem was in intelligence, not in his ability, otherwise it would definitely cause a major blow to him. A light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes and solemnly said: "Iran''s strike movement is about to change qualitatively now. I predict it will evolve into a revolution. At that time, Iran''s oil exports are likely to stop!" "how is this possible?" Liu Tianci was horrified, his eyes widened, and he blurted out, unbelievable. But looking at the serious expression of Chairman Xia Yu, he had to take a deep breath to calm himself down. Since Xia Yu said so, relying on his international vision and the news gathering and exploratory ability of Jiuding News Agency, Liu Tianci had to believe in this possibility. He also knows that there is an internal struggle in Iran. Since January this year, there have been large-scale demonstrations against the monarchy, and large-scale strikes have occurred since August. But until the beginning of December now, he didn''t understand how much has changed, so naturally he did not expect a revolution in Iran, one of the rich and powerful countries in the Middle East. But if a revolution really breaks out in Iran, it will definitely have a huge world impact. Just because Iran is so special! In the industrial age, oil is the blood of industry. Iran is located in the heart of the world in the Middle East. Iran itself is the second largest oil exporter in the world. If a revolution really breaks out, it will even stop oil as stated by Chairman Xia Yu. The phenomenon of export, then developed countries in Europe and the United States can not escape. The reduction in international crude oil and the absolute surge in oil prices will cause a series of evil consequences! Among other things, the United States, the world''s largest economy, has long relied on the two pillars of crude oil and the US dollar. Now that the US domestic fiscal deficit crisis has emerged, inflation has become prominent, coupled with the weakening of the US dollar, if crude oil rises again, it will definitely lead to a decline in the purchasing power of the US dollar and increase the pressure on the US dollar to depreciate, and domestic inflation in the US will become more serious. Now that the US dollar has been depreciating for a year, the Fed has finally stopped the cycle to contain it. This is not bad, after all, it is artificially manipulated. However, if the international crude oil price suddenly soars, this sudden and uncontrollable factor will cause the Fed¡¯s deployment to be disrupted. Capital is forced by the pressure of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollars held by it will be thrown out, and capital will quickly seek out the gold market Asylum protection. Therefore, the international gold price will definitely start a new round of skyrocketing. From January 1977 to October 1978, the international gold price rose by more than 60 US dollars per ounce in a year. This time it will only be high but not low! This is definitely a huge crisis! Of course, if the news is known in advance, and with preparation, the crisis will turn into a huge opportunity, and you can eat the most delicious meat first! Thinking of this, Liu Tianci''s heart was agitated, his face flushed, and he said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, if it happens exactly as you say, then I will definitely stop investing and buy all gold to earn him a fortune!" Xia Yu laughed and said confidently: "According to analysis, the possibility of a revolution in Iran has reached more than 90%. Therefore, there is a lot of money to invest in gold. Don''t move New York gold, only speculate on London gold." There are now two major gold trading markets in the world, namely London and New York, which are quite different. The United States is one of the global gold futures trading centers. The gold futures varieties in the United States mainly refer to the gold futures varieties on the COMEX Exchange of the New York Mercantile Exchange, usually called "New York Gold". New York gold is a futures contract, the contract has a time limit, and the leverage is limited to 35 times or less. London Gold is completely different. London Gold is a spot contract, 24 hours a day, seven days a week are trading hours, and the contract is indefinite, and the leverage can be used up to 100 times. London is the oldest gold trading center and the largest gold market in the world. Its characteristic is that there is no fixed exchange, that is, there is no actual trading place. In other words, the transaction lacks regulatory supervision and is very suitable for capital flows. Compared with the restricted New York gold, Xia Yu, who was thinking about shooting quietly, certainly preferred the lack of supervision of London gold. "Chairman, when do you think there will be a revolution in Iran?" Liu Tianci asked again This question is very important. If you grasp it well, the crisis will be an opportunity. If you don''t grasp it, the opportunity can become a crisis again. Xia Yu thought for a while and said categorically: "No accident, it will explode at the end of this month, and there will be at most half a month away!" "Half a month!" Liu Tianci''s expression was dignified, his mouth muttered, and he quickly thought about how to act in order to maximize the benefits. When Xia Yu saw this, he smiled faintly, and said to Liu Tianci: "God gift, time is still abundant, we have to make this money, but the bank also wants to buy, which bank do you like?" Liu Tianci was taken aback for a moment, his brows furrowed, why the topic has been around the buying bank again, didn''t he just let him invest in gold first? It seems that what the chairman meant is that you can invest in gold or buy banks? There is only so much capital, how should this be done? PS: How to have both fish and bear paw? Just vote ¡î(£þ¨Œ£þ)/$:* Chapter 516: Calculate the 2 major banks Temporarily unable to figure it out, Liu Tianci didn¡¯t bother to think about it, and directly mentioned the two banks that he was fond of: ¡°Chairman, I plan to acquire Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, but the current owners of these two banks are interested in taking action. It should not be high, this is a problem." When Xia Yu heard this, he couldn''t help but raised his brow. Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank were both Chinese banks with a long history. Although they were not as powerful as the current Jiuding Bank, they were both considered top middle-sized banks. Among them, Hang Lung Bank is stronger than Ka Wah Bank. When Xia Yu was about to enter the banking industry, he specially collected the basic information of Heung Kong''s banking industry. In addition, he has a strong memory, so until now, he has a deep impression in his heart. Hang Lung Bank was founded in 1935 by the Sun family. After three generations of the Sun family, Hang Lung Bank has survived time and again and has grown into a medium-sized bank today. Especially in the 1970s, the third-generation head of the Sun family was ambitious, allowing Hang Lung Bank to expand drastically and develop rapidly. Unfortunately, in the sudden stock market crash in 1976, Sun¡¯s other industries suffered great losses. The most important thing was that Hang Lung Bank¡¯s excessively rapid development had its consequences. Many payments were not recovered, which caused Hang Lung Bank to fall into a crisis and even drag down the entire Sun. Family. No way, the Sun family had to cut the meat and sold 80% of the shares they held to the two brothers, Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan, Fujian merchants in the Philippines. In the past two years, the Chuang brothers quickly moved closer to the Fujian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, relying on the statement that "the world''s Fujian merchants are one family", and made friends with a group of Fujian merchants such as Li Jiacheng. It''s pretty good. As for another Ka Wah Bank, it has a longer history. It was founded by Lin Zifeng in Yangcheng in 1922. After decades, it has developed very steadily and is now a medium-sized bank. It is a pity that after Lin Zifeng''s death in 1971, his descendants were incompetent and unwilling to manage their ancestral properties, so in 1975 they sold the controlling stake to the brothers Liu Cansong, an overseas Chinese businessman in Singapore. After the Liu Cansong brothers took over, K. Wah Bank¡¯s customer base was mainly overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. Therefore, Hong Kong''s colleagues have become more and more aware of K. Wah Bank and become more wary. But it is undeniable that Ka Wah Bank''s business in Southeast Asia is developing well. If Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are acquired, then Jiuding Bank''s local strength will increase sharply, and at the same time, it will open up Southeast Asia''s business at once, which will greatly increase the future development. Of course, in addition to these circumstances, Xia Yu also had many memories of previous lives in his mind. It seems that neither the Chuang brothers nor the Liu Cansong brothers are the ones who guard themselves. The Chuang brothers were caught in the quagmire of financial crisis caused by irregular lending, and Liu Cansong was even more arrested by the police on suspicion of defrauding nearly 800 million yuan with his brother. Therefore, there are still many ways for this kind of people who are definitely weak. You don¡¯t have to feel guilty when you start. After all, the current bosses of these two banks are latecomers, and they are not good people. The bank is a waste in their hands. It is better to buy them to maximize the benefits. "God, since you are interested in these two banks, then buy these two banks. As long as they operate properly, they will not want to sell, and the price will not be high." Xia Yu thought for a moment and said to Liu Tianci. "Chairman, please direct!" Liu Tianci felt anticipation in his heart, and waited for Xia Yu''s specific instructions. "Within ten days, I will ask Jiuding Real Estate to separately make large loans from two banks, and try to extract their funds as much as possible. Then you should not come forward in the name of Jiuding Bank. You must be prepared to provide assistance to Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. Buy gold products, whether it is paper gold or physical gold, the larger the quantity, the better, and mine them!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Liu Tianci thought for a while, showing a fox-like smile, and admired: "Chairman, this is a good way, and large-scale business comes to the door. Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are absolutely reluctant to push them away. They buried thunder if they were greedy. , Management negligence, we are not to blame for the death!" "Yes! Haha!" Xia Yu and Liu Tianci looked at each other and laughed. Although Xia Yu is digging holes and calculating the two banks, if the two banks do things steadily and are not tempted by profit, then there is nothing wrong. Instead, they will make a lot of profits because of large loans to Jiuding Real Estate Group. . But if they are greedy, then this big cake will become a poisoned cake, and a bad one can kill them. Now HeungKong is still in the hands of the UK. HeungKong¡¯s banks generally have gold products, such as paper gold, spot gold, and London gold on commission. Even gold shops like Xie Liyuan Gold Shop can open gold accounts and launch the "Qianzu "Gold Accumulation Plan" to absorb funds. Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are not strong enough to be qualified to be London Gold market makers, but they can become middlemen, selling London Gold on behalf of the citizens of Hong Kong, first selling it and then buying it to fill the hole, which takes a certain amount of time. You can earn a certain amount of handling fee through the procedures, and you can also introduce the bank¡¯s gold price to a deeper level, sell paper gold, and make more profits. The capital chain of the two banks is now tightening and they are selling gold products. Then the two banks will absolutely have no money to buy London gold futures to fill the business volume in a short time. When the international gold price soars, the two banks will buy gold again. The blood will definitely pull the already tight capital chain to its limit. Of course, you can also delay the replenishment, wait until the international gold price drops again, and replenish at a low price. But the premise is that the customer does not mention gold or delivery futures, otherwise if the bank refuses to accept, then things will definitely become a big deal, and the storm of run will occur instantly. If you die, you can kill the bank! To avoid these two situations, the only way is for the two banks not to be greedy, and not to use the time difference beyond the limit to eat up all the business. But now that Xia Yu has calculated it, of course he has to find a way to succeed and make money clear. Doesn''t you believe that the top executives in the two banks are all gentlemen? Don''t even think about running away if these two banks are targeted by him! "God, the amount of liquidity in our bank is not large. Excluding the consumption for these two banks, there should not be much left. If you want to speculate in gold, you can go to HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank I will not take you to London." Xia Yu said again. "Chairman, you are going to London?" Liu Tianci looked at Xia Yu very unexpectedly. He just came back after staying in the island country for more than a month, and he was going to London again! "Such a large fund, Xiangjiang can''t tolerate it!" Xia Yu made a little clear, and Liu Tianci nodded suddenly. The money earned by the chairman from the island country is now lying in Jiuding Bank¡¯s account. It¡¯s no wonder that Xiangjiang can accommodate such a large amount of money. HSBC and Standard Chartered are focused on Xiangjiang, and they must not be able to handle such a large amount of gold. business. Moreover, with the chairman''s heart, he would not want the money to be exposed. So only going to London is the most suitable. Later, Xia Yu discussed with Liu Tianci for a while, and saw that Liu Tianci fully understood the operation process, and Xia Yu left Jiuding Bank with confidence. Chapter 517: The secret behind the London gold market After leaving Jiuding Bank, Xia Yu was finally able to devise his plan wholeheartedly. After a while, he came to Galaxy Fund Management Co., Ltd. Xia Yu didn''t waste time, and directly gathered all the high-level officials to hold a closed-door meeting. Liu Xiao and others were already preparing for the upcoming battle, so they were all excited to see Xia Yu at this time. Because everything is about to begin! Xia Yu sat in the first place, his eyes flashing across the faces of everyone, everyone subconsciously raised their heads and chests to make themselves appear more energetic. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, you all made a lot of money. I should have given you a vacation and be cool." "But the time does not wait for anyone. In the next few months, everyone will have no time to relax, but the advantage is that you can make more money." "There are more times to relax, and time to make money is even more rare, so I hope that in the next few months, you will gather your energy and devote yourself to the battle." "Do you have confidence?" "Have!" Liu Xiao and the others shouted in unison, with a high-spirited attitude. "well!" Xia Yu showed admiration and said again: "Next, let''s get to the main topic. You can talk about your preparations." "Boss, internal statistics have shown that all funds totaled 2.296 billion US dollars, all are ready, and we are also ready to go abroad." As a representative, Liu Xiao reported to Xia Yu. The principal plus the profits of the island country, after removing the 30 million U.S. dollars given to Jiuding Animation, there is nearly 2.3 billion U.S. dollars. In the entire Hong Kong, apart from HSBC, no consortium or wealthy family can take out this cash at once! Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "All this money is initially planned to be invested in London Gold speculation. One billion US dollars will be leveraged five times. Other funds depend on the situation, and I will use it too!" "Does a billion dollars use five times leverage?" Liu Xiao said silently in his heart, although he wondered why the boss didn''t use higher financial leverage since the boss took me so big, he had come to such a strange decision. Xia Yu glanced at Liu Xiao and everyone, but did not explain. He naturally has his thoughts and concerns. This time I went to the United Kingdom, and he couldn''t come back in a short time. With such a good opportunity, how could he not be idle in the United Kingdom. He must take the opportunity to expand his foundation and make contacts. As the saying goes, there is a Hongru who talks and laughs, but there is no white Ding when you communicate! If you want to enter the higher circle, you must have the strength of the corresponding level, so that you can talk to others on an equal footing, especially for the arrogant British, you should naturally pay more attention to strength. Moreover, the Iron Lady will be on stage next year. After she comes to power, she will make drastic reforms. There are opportunities throughout the UK. If she does not enter early, it will definitely be too late. So Xia Yu must lay a solid foundation from now on. Another point is the issue of leverage. With such a good opportunity, Xia Yu also wanted to earn more, but this was unrealistic. Only the ignorant are fearless, but Xia Yu knows too much, so even when his strength is still weak, he still maintains awe of the world. In any business in the world, there will always be the biggest bookmaker. Just like the world''s silver futures, the silver futures traded through Morgan, a market maker, account for most of the world''s share. There are even rumors that Morgan is behind the silver trading. Gold futures also have market makers, and behind the London gold market in this era, there are four market makers. They are the British HSBC Group, Rohschild International Investment Bank, Scotia Bank of Canada and Deutsche Bank. In addition, a large sales network formed by companies that are recognized as qualified to buy gold from them, and then extended to various processing manufacturers, small and medium shops and companies, has become the London gold market. At present, the only remaining founding member of the London Gold Futures is the Roshill International Investment Bank, which belongs to the Roshill family of the United Kingdom. It was the Rothschild family that was once known as the Sixth Empire, and the folk translation was the Rothschild family. After entering the 21st century, the Internet era began to emerge. The Rohill family continued to dive deeper, and left hand to right. The Barclays Bank, which was controlled by their family, came forward to acquire Rohill International Investment Bank and replaced it as The London gold market maker. Among the current four major market makers, Roshill International Investment Bank is a private company of the Roshill family, Scotia Bank of Canada has inextricably linked relations with the Roshill family, and the HSBC Group is even more so. The family secretly holds part of the equity. Only Deutsche Bank, because of the mustache, caused the Roshir family to be discharged, which had little impact. But despite this, it is enough to see the influence of the Rohill family on the London gold market. Although the London gold market is very large, there is a limit. The Lohill family cannot find out if the funds are too small, but if the amount of funds is too much, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered. If discovered by the Roshir family, although Xia Yu cannot be prevented from making money in the face of the general trend, it will be impossible for Xia Yu to develop secretly in the future. The Rothschild family knew about Xia Yu, so the entire Great Britain and even large Western families would put Xia Yu in their eyes. Xia Yu didn''t want this to happen when his strength was not strong enough. A yellow-skinned person is jumping around in the white supremacy Western world, cutting their flesh and grabbing their cakes, but they don¡¯t have any contacts. This is the rhythm of not wanting to live! Everything must be done in moderation. Xia Yu deeply understands this truth, especially when there is no backing behind, and when staying under the roof of others, you must keep a low profile. One billion U.S. dollars leveraging five times the leverage is five billion U.S. dollars, and then adding more than one billion U.S. dollars that may enter the market, the total capital is more than six billion U.S. dollars. Putting it on the London gold market is considered a large sum of money, and it takes a lot of money to solve the problem safely later. Of course, these things Xia Yu considered, Liu Xiao and others did not know, they had not reached the height of knowing these inside stories, so Xia Yu did not tell them, lest they think too much. When they knew it, without Xia Yu telling them, they could learn the information from other channels. "This action, everyone will go together!" No longer thinking about it, Xia Yu told everyoneUnderstood! " Everyone responded in unison. "Do you have any questions?" Xia Yu glanced over, everyone shook their heads, he nodded slightly, and continued to order: "That''s it. You leave immediately and go to the UK first. I will be two days late." "Liu Xiao, you will take the lead when you go to the UK. Take the time to act immediately. If you have any problems, you must report to me as soon as possible!" Xia Yu exhorted Liu Xiao with a serious expression. Liu Xiao nodded solemnly and said, "Understood!" "The meeting is over!" Xia Yu waved his hand, and the meeting was over. He didn''t stay too much to work on other things. Before going to the UK, he still has one very important thing to do, which involves his current and future foundation in Hong Kong. Chapter 518: Fujian merchants, Cantonese merchants, Chaoshan merchants (2 in 1) In the winter afternoon, the sun was slightly softer, Xia Yu closed his eyes and lay on the lounge chair on the second floor viewing balcony, enjoying a rare afternoon leisure time. At this moment, a few black cars drove on the mountain road leading to Xia Mansion, and they arrived in front of Xia Mansion in a short while. The immigrant who had been waiting immediately opened the door, put the car in, and directed to the parking lot. Xia Yu, who was lying on the viewing balcony on the second floor of the villa, heard the movement, got off his sunglasses, got up and walked downstairs, muttering to himself with a smile: "It must be them." Sure enough, when Xia Yu had just walked out of the door of the villa, he saw two red-faced old men, one fat and one thin, walking in and out of the way. These two are not others, but Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. Seeing Xia Yu coming out, Bao Yugang shouted in his unique loud voice: "Xia Yu, good afternoon!" "Xia Yu, long time no see!" Huo Yingdong also said with a smile. "Haha! The two are here, please come inside!" Xia Yu shook hands with the two and greeted them with a big smile. "Sit in the living room? Or go to the balcony on the second floor?" After entering, Xia Yu said to Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other, and finally Huo Yingdong said: "Go upstairs, I have long heard that drinking tea from the observation deck on your second floor has a special flavor." Xia Yu smiled, made a please gesture, and took the two upstairs. As for the other bodyguards and others, Bao Yugang and others did not let them follow up to show respect for Xia Yu. Going to the second floor and out of the balcony, the view suddenly opens up. Many precious flowers and plants have been planted on the balcony, probably because Xiangjiang is located in the tropics, even though it has entered the winter, there are still bright flowers in full bloom. Some vine-like plants are climbing on the white metal shelf. Opposite the balcony, there are trees, cliffs and the endless blue sea. Since the villa is located halfway up the mountain, the trees are not higher than the horizontal line of the balcony and do not block the view. "Xia Yu, you look at the sea here. The scenery is so beautiful. It''s not more than the top of the Taiping Mountain. I sit here after dinner every day and look at the sea from a distance. It feels open-minded, refreshing, and definitely more. Live twenty years!" Bao Yugang said in admiration. "Yes, your scenery is really unique, so Feng Shui!" Huo Yingdong also applauded in agreement. Xia Yu laughed and said modestly: "It''s okay, not better than yours!" "Haha, you are humble..." Just when the three of them were talking and laughing, the servant brought a lot of pastries to the table, Xia Yu greeted the two of them to take a seat, and then personally made tea. Watching the scenery, sipping tea, and eating refreshments are not interesting, so Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong unknowingly relax. Xia Yu took a sip of tea and congratulated Bao Yugang and the two of them: "You guys, the business is booming recently, congratulations!" Bao Yugang put down the teacup and waved his hand with a smile: "Don''t praise us. Although there are some results, you can''t even compare it with you! I have heard of your handwriting in the island country, but it is great. Raise my Chinese face!" With that said, Bao Yugang also solemnly gave Xia Yu a thumbs up. "Old Bao is right. I was curious for a while, and I also learned a little bit about it. You turned upside down in the island country and defeated an industry in the island country with your own power. You are amazing and admirable!" "It''s worthy of being an outstanding person, you can call the wind and rain wherever you go!" Huo Yingdong said with emotion. His achievements were praised by the two big men, and Xia Yu was in a happy mood, but the modesty he should have is still necessary. The three chatted for a while, and Xia Yu straightened his face and planned to talk about today''s topic. Upon seeing this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong also knew that the purpose of Xia Yu''s special invitation to come today was about to appear, so they both put down their cups and looked at Xia Yu. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, let me ask you one thing first, how much money you can allocate without affecting the normal operation of your business, it will take at least four months!" Xia Yuxun calmly looked at the two and asked. As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were very surprised. The two looked at each other and contemplated. For a long time, Bao Yugang was the first to speak out and looked at Xia Yu with a slight worry: "Xia Yu, are you having any difficulties? Just find my old bag. Some time ago, the acquisition cost was relatively high, and now you can raise the most. One billion Hong Kong dollars, if it is not enough, I can still borrow it!" "Xia Yu, I''m not as strong as the old Bao, but you can value me, and I won''t let you down. I dare not pack one billion votes, but 800 million will be taken out!" Huo Yingdong gritted his teeth and said, his face was full of determination. Seeing the two men''s solemn expressions, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile, and his heart was very warm. Although his words were deliberately vague and tentative, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s reactions did not disappoint him. He read the two correctly, and it was the right choice to invite them over today. Seeing Xia Yu smile, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong couldn''t help frowning slightly, feeling that Xia Yu''s reaction was wrong. Then I heard Xia Yu say: "Old Bao, Lao Huo, I blamed me for not saying it clearly. It caused you to misunderstand me. I have no difficulty and I am not short of money, but thank you anyway. I take it!" Upon hearing this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s expressions relaxed, and they were relieved. "Xia Yu, then you ask what is this?" Bao Yugang asked bluntly, but did not see Xia Yu outside. Huo Yingdong also looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, wanting to know what he was doing. Xia Yu smiled, looked at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and said, "I found an opportunity to make a fortune. I want to ask you if you are not interested, but I have already started it myself!" Xia Yu''s words were lighter, but they were like thunder in Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s ears. The two were shocked, staring at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, Bao Yugang said loudly, "Xia Yu, what opportunity is it?" "Yeah, last time you took us a lot of money, thank you before you have time, this time you took us again, how embarrassing!" Huo Yingdong said with emotion, but still intends to seize this opportunity. Xia Yu smiled: "I can''t say what the opportunity is, but you will know it in more than half a month." "Last time we had nine people in total, but this time, I thought about it and only planned to call you two." Upon hearing this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s expressions changed slightly, and then they solemnly expressed their gratitude to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, thank you!" "Xia Yu, thank you for your respect for my old Huo!" Both Bao Yugang didn''t doubt Xia Yu''s earning power, especially in the financial and capital markets. Xia Yu was able to turn the tide. At this time Xia Yu would take them to make a fortune, or just take them two, so special treatment They really moved them. Xia Yuhun smiled carelessly: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, you don''t need to be so polite, we are more congenial, so of course I think of you as soon as there is a good thing." "This time I am confident, at least 90%, so the more funds you have, the better, nothing else, it doesn''t take half a year. It is no problem to double the funds!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s eyes lit up and their hearts were about to move. Then I saw Xia Yu''s face solemnly saying to them both: "But I''ll say yes first, I''m not helping you in vain, no matter how much profit, I want half!" When Bao Yu just heard this, he became more confident and said without hesitation: "No problem, this is what you deserve. You can make us rich if you are willing to do it, or you and me?" "Yeah, we are divided too much, giving us two layers is considered a profit!" Huo Yingdong also said. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu laughed instead, shook his head and refused to say: "No, if you give me face, it will be 50-50!" Seeing that Xia Yu was not polite, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other and nodded heavily. "That way, I won''t be polite to you." "Yeah, you specially helped us two. It would be too hypocritical if you shirk any more. I''m not welcome." "That''s right, we don''t need to see outsiders." "Furthermore, I need your help if I have something to do. I will be away from Xiangjiang for a few months when I will not be there. If my company has any trouble, I still need your help." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Bao Yugang patted his chest directly, and solemnly promised: "This is a trivial matter. It''s on our bodies. If anyone troubles you, I will definitely take care of him!" With that said, Bao Yugang''s face showed evil spirits. He knew that Xia Yu was polite with him. After all, Jiuding enterprises have formed a consortium, and their overall strength is at the top in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu''s deterrent power is also strong enough that almost no one dares to trouble the Jiuding consortium. But he could only help in this regard, so Bao Yugang took this trivial matter in his heart and treated it as a major matter. "Yes, I can''t guarantee other aspects, but in this respect, Xia Yu, don''t worry, there will be no accidents!" Huo Yingdong also said sternly, the involuntary appearance of the power of a big brother reminded Xia Yu of his other identity. "Then trouble you!" "I will use tea instead of wine, to toast you a cup!" With that, Xia Yu picked up the teacup. "We should respect you, please!" After that, the three of them toasted and drank the tea, looked at each other and laughed, the relationship was sublimated at this moment. "Hahaha..." After laughing, Xia Yu told Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, I will leave for the UK the day after tomorrow, so you must raise funds as soon as possible, and all of them must be converted into US dollars." "Okay, I will start preparing when I go back today!" "Me too, I''ll be ready tomorrow!" "That''s good¡­¡­" ... After the matter was settled, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were anxious to go back to raise funds. Xia Yu also knew that time was pressing, so instead of leaving them at home for dinner, they sent them out. Seeing the two people''s car go away, Xia Yu showed a smile, which was a celebratory smile after the realization of the idea. This time Xia Yu brought Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, which was long ago. Although he can take no one, but such a good opportunity, it is natural to make use of it, anyway, he earns other people''s money, and he can still divide it in half. He can operate this fund separately and operate it in the name of Jiuding Securities. Even if it is exposed, it will divert attention for the funds secretly, and at the same time, it will be able to make Jiuding Securities famous. As for why he only brought Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, Xia Yu had thought about it. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have little conflict of interest with him. Although both have real estate companies, the market is large enough to accommodate them. Jiuding Real Estate Group is not afraid of competition between the two real estate companies. Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Feng Jingxi and others are different. They are either strong in the real estate industry or in the financial industry. They all have the strength to wrestle with Xia Yu. If you bring them, it''s completely an act of capital enemy. In the fight against the British consortium, they can pull over and become allies, but they cannot cover up the internal competition between them and Xia Yu. Even if Xia Yu''s Jiuding Securities Company holds several company shares, it cannot be covered up. Of course, these are only superficial factors. After all, to be honest, at this stage Xia Yu is not afraid of their individual competition. The reason why they are only called Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang, apart from their appreciation for their personality and position, the most important reason is that their factions are not obvious. Bao Yugang''s ancestral home in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a Zhejiang merchant. The Zhejiang merchant group is not strong in Xiangjiang, even in Southeast Asia as a whole. Bao Yugang is the number one strong Zhejiang merchant and the chairman of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. . Although Huo Yingdong is a native of Panyu, Guangdong Province, he is a real self-made man who has risen from coolies. Because of his position, he is not very well integrated with Cantonese businessmen other than Chaoshan Merchants, but he is very prestigious among idle businessmen. High, if you have to describe it, it is the status of the "Leader of the Sanxiu Alliance". In Xiangjiang and even in Southeast Asia, Fujian businessmen are the first in strength, far surpassing Cantonese businessmen and Zhejiang businessmen, and the number is six times as many as Cantonese businessmen. Then there is the Chaoshan Merchant Group, which is weaker than Fujian Merchants and stronger than Guangdong Merchants. Geographically speaking, the Chaoshan area belongs to Guangdong Province, but the people in the Chaoshan area are basically descendants of Fujian, and all aspects of culture originate from southern Fujian, so it is special. An independent group is not only related to the Cantonese businessmen, but also to Fujian. Close business contacts. In fact, if the Chaoshan merchants were to join the Cantonese merchants, they would not dare to say in Southeast Asia, but in Xiangjiang, a site close to Guangdong Province, the Guangdong merchants would not be much worse than the Fujian merchants. Behind Fujian merchants and Chaoshan merchants are other Cantonese merchants and Zhejiang merchants. Li Jiacheng and Lin Baixin are the big brothers of the Chaoshan business gang; Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, and Zheng Yu are also the big names of the Cantonese business, with a mixed network. Xia Yu is a native of Xiangjiang grass roots. Even though he has risen now and has surpassed Li Jiacheng and others, he is still incapable of facing the whole Fujian merchants, Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, Guangdong Merchants Group, etc. If he faces competition, it is often inevitable. Will hit a wall. It was like something in the previous life that made him remember deeply. In a third-tier city, his friend invested several million to enter the cold chain industry, but he lost his shorts and quit. Xia Yu once asked him why, the reason was that he was encircled. It turns out that in that third-tier city, the cold chain industry is basically monopolized by Fujian merchants. As long as they have certain strength, whether it is upstream or downstream of the industry chain, they are Fujian merchants. Because they are not Fujian merchants, they have been in the past ten years. Was overwhelmed by asymmetric competition. After all, the Chinese people¡¯s concept of township party is deeply ingrained , especially when interests are involved, they will subconsciously cling together. Therefore, in order to lay a solid foundation in Xiangjiang, his Jiuding Consortium must have allies, unite some powerful allies, and build a peripheral moat for the Jiuding Consortium. And Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are undoubtedly the most suitable. Not only are they strong, they have similar positions. The most important thing is that the faction is not strong and they have definitely been squeezed by other factions, but they are the leaders of their respective factions. It is a natural ally, who wins over them is to win over the people of the two major factions, which can make the influence of the Jiuding Consortium take root down quickly. In the evening of the next day, Bao Yugang raised 220 million U.S. dollars, Huo Yingdong raised 180 million U.S. dollars, and the two parties totaled 400 million U.S. dollars. With this money, Xia Yu entered a dedicated account of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. that had been prepared for a long time, and explained how Wang Qi and a deputy manager of Jiuding Securities operated. For the rest of the time, Xia Yu didn''t go anywhere, spending time with He Chaoqiong during the day and with his family at home at night. Waiting until the next day, I quietly came to Kai Tak International Airport again and boarded the plane to London. Chapter 519: City of London Although the Thames is not as long as the great rivers of other countries, the place it flows through has nurtured the splendid English civilization. The Thames River passes through London, dividing the Greater London administration into north and south. Various buildings symbolizing the history and culture of England are distributed on both sides of the river. Xia Yu sat on the seat of the Boeing 747 near the window, overlooking the morning view of London, which was a special experience. After a while, the plane landed at Heathrow International Airport. Xia Yu and his group walked out of the VIP passage and found Xue He and Song Yang waiting outside the airport. Behind them, there were all black cars. "boss!" Xue He and Song Yang came quickly to meet Xia Yu and shouted to Xia Yu with smiles on their faces. "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile, glanced at the row of waiting cars, and smiled with satisfaction. Li Wuming and others who followed Xia Yu walked over and stuffed their luggage into the trunk of the car. "Are you all settled?" Xia Yu asked casually. Xue He replied: "Boss, we have rented an apartment in the City of London, which is more convenient for our operations. We started to move as soon as we settled down yesterday. Early this morning, Liu Xiao and others have already started construction, so The two of us are here to greet you!" "Starting? Very efficient!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction. The City of London, or the City of London for short, is the economic center of London. Although it is only 2.6 square kilometers in size, it has gathered more than 100 domestic banks and more than 500 foreign banks. Around the Bank of England, the Central Bank of England. As a financial center, land prices and rents are naturally top-notch. Liu Xiao and others settled there. Although it is a bit more expensive, it is better than convenience. Time is money, this little money really should not be saved. Big money is always earned, not saved! "Boss, do you want to go first now?" Noting that everything was put in the car, Song Yang asked. Xia Yu looked at Li Qian, who was struggling, and thought that Liu Xiao and others had already acted. He didn''t need to go so early. Moreover, his suburban villa in the UK is cleaned by housekeepers and servants every day, but he hasn''t been there for nearly half a year, so let''s go and take a look. Living outside, after all, is not as comfortable as living at home. Therefore, Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Don''t worry, I have a villa in Hampshire. Let''s go and settle down there now." After speaking, Xia Yu took Li Qian to a car. Although Xue He and Song Yang accidentally owned a villa in the United Kingdom by their boss, they just obeyed the boss''s orders in a few days. Soon, a group of people got into the car, and the car followed Xia Yu''s guidance, and the driver of the car rental company drove towards Hampshire. After about an hour or so, the car finally arrived outside the villa. It happened that a servant was pushing the lawn mower to weed the grass. He saw a row of cars suddenly appeared, put down his work, and came to the closed big iron gate. "This is a private property, do you have anything to do here?" Xia Yu recognized the servant, rolled down the window and stuck his head out, and said to the servant, "Ham, it''s me, open the door!" "Mister is back!" The servant Ham was taken aback, then smiled in surprise, exclaimed and quickly opened the door, stood by the door, bowed slightly and watched the car drive into the manor. The manor, which had been quiet and peaceful for half a year, suddenly remembered the roar of engines. The old housekeeper Flander in the villa immediately ran out. After seeing Xia Yu and others come down, he smiled happily. "Sir, you are finally back!" Flander said with excitement, and bowed to Xia Yu. "This is Flander, the butler of my estate." Xia Yu said in Chinese to the puzzled Song Yang and others, and then smiled and said to the old butler: "Flanders, it''s nice to see you again." "It can be seen that the manor was well taken care of when I was away! Thank you for your hard work!" "No hard work, this should be done!" "Sir, miss, come in!" The hard work was praised by Xia Yu, Flanders smiled happily, and then led Xia Yu and others into the house. Obviously, the inside of the villa has been carefully taken care of every day, and every part of it is not stained, which shows that Flanders has managed it properly. Xia Yu asked everyone to take things and follow him upstairs to set them up. After some cleaning, when he came down, he just saw that the five servants had arrived and stood in a row respectfully. Old butler Flander, nanny Susan, servant Ham, Jones and Jack. They were all very happy to see Xia Yu coming back. Xia Yu chatted with them a few words, and after encouragement, they went down again, leaving only the old housekeeper Flander and the nanny Susan working in the house. "Gentlemen, please use tea!" "Thank you!" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and breathed a long breath, feeling comfortable all over. "Flander, has anything happened during my absence for the past six months?" Xia Yu asked Flander, the old butler, to sit down and asked him softly. "Nothing big happened. Except for the occasional outing tourists who come here to seek some help, your friend named Wu often comes and asks me if you have come back." "The day before yesterday, he returned to live in the house next door, walked here, but left with disappointment." Old butler Flander answered truthfully. "Well, I got it." Xia Yu nodded slightly, thinking of Wu Hongyi, and a smile appeared on his face. While in Xiangjiang, Wu Hongyi occasionally made international calls to chat with Xia Yu, and Xia Yu also knew some of his situation. Since he cheered up, things have been very busy, and he has been unable to get out of his body. Several times he said that he wanted to find a chance to come to Xiangjiang, but he failed. He always told Xia Yu that he must be notified when Xia Yu comes to Britain. Wu Hongyi is Xia Yu''s only friend in London and even the United Kingdom. Whether it is for affection or courtesy, since he is in London, he naturally has to tell him. Besides, Xia Yu will stay here for a long time, and there will be no less exchanges in the future. "I''m going to make a call!" After speaking, Xia Yu got up and came to the table and dialed a number to go out. The call came to Wu Hongyi¡¯s home, but unfortunately he didn¡¯t answer it. Xia Yu changed another number and called the Phoenix Building in Chinatown. He was picked up by Uncle Chang from the Phoenix Building. Yu waited a moment, and he would inform Wu Hongyi to call back. City of London, UU Reading , the headquarters of the Chinese Commercial Bank, and the office of the president. Wu Hongyi is dressed in a formal suit, sitting at his desk working with documents, exuding a calm atmosphere. "Ring Ling Ling!" "What? Xia Yu called me and said he had returned to London and was at his residence? Okay, I see, Uncle Chang, I''ll hang up first." After Wu Hongyi answered, with a happy smile on his face, he immediately dialed the special number in his memory. Soon, the phone was connected, and Xia Yu''s unfamiliar and familiar voice came on the phone. Wu Hongyi said happily: "Xia Yu, have you come to London? When did you arrive?" "Have you just arrived? Then I''ll come over right away... I''m at the headquarters of the Chinese Commercial Bank in the City of London... You will come over in the afternoon if you have something to do? Well, come that night..." After chatting with Xia Yu happily for more than ten minutes, Wu Hongyi hung up the phone with great enthusiasm. After thinking about it, he dialed the number of the Phoenix Building again: "Uncle Chang, I will have dinner in the restaurant tonight. Go get ready. Ingredients..." Chapter 520: Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Xia Yu has been practicing Tai Chi for so long and is full of energy every day, so he is not affected by the jet lag. On the contrary, Li Qian is a girl who is a little tired after taking the plane, so he rests in the room all morning. After having lunch at noon, Xia Yu left for the City of London after a short break. Galaxy Fund rented an office space and some private houses in the west of the City of London, but the office location did not have the Galaxy Fund brand. When Xia Yu came here, Liu and others had been waiting for a long time. "Hi boss!" "Hello everyone!" After exchanging greetings with everyone, Xia Yu entered the company premises under Liu''s guidance. After a short visit, Xia Yu and everyone came to the conference room. "I heard Xue He said that you have started work in the morning, how is the situation?" Xia Yu smiled, glanced at everyone, and asked easily. "Boss, the situation is very good. Although our team is not familiar with the UK, there are more than 600 banks gathered here, as well as other financial institutions. Basically, they have gold business, so the development is very smooth." "According to your instructions, in order not to attract attention, we divide the funds very loosely. Although it is a bit cumbersome, it is better to be safe and concealed." Liu Xiaohui reports. "That''s good!" "Thank you for the trouble, but you have to pay attention to the time issue." After Xia Yu listened, he was relieved immediately and told everyone. "We understand!" Liu Zheng nodded his head. "By the way, how big is the result in the morning?" Xia Yu asked curiously. "We added it up. Because we were a bit rusty, we spent 12 million U.S. dollars in one morning, all using five times leverage." "Well, speed up the progress..." After chatting for a while, after understanding the situation, Xia Yu didn''t want to waste their time, so he let them continue to work, and he planned to buy a batch of vehicles. He noticed that there were no cars under the station, and Liu and the others hadn''t come to buy them. They were all taking taxis, which was too inconvenient. One more thing, although he has a few cars, the number is still not enough. He will stay here for a long time in the future. He needs a luxury car that meets his identity. At the very least, the facade project must be done well, otherwise it will be easy for others. circle. If you want to buy a car or a luxury car, Xia Yu must find the corresponding market. He remembers that the place where he bought the car six months ago was a concentrated car sales area in the London area, where there were all kinds of cars. There are 33 sub-cities in London. Xia Yu shuttles four or five districts from the City of London to Hammersmith-Fulham. This district is a traditional residential area and a wealthy area in West London. There are many famous Places such as Fulham Palace, Westfield Shopping Center, Bishops Park, Stamford Bridge Stadium. In this area, there are three professional football clubs, namely Chelsea, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers. With three football clubs, this is unique among the 33 sub-cities in London. The car was driving slowly on the street, Xia Yu rolled down the window and scanned the shops on the roadside. Suddenly, he saw a car dealership with the words rolls-roye on the sign and a double R-shaped logo with wings on it. It is Rolls Royce''s car dealership. "Parking, this is it!" After Xia Yu said, the car found a place to park. Xia Yu, Li Qian and others got out of the car and walked straight towards the Rolls-Royce. He came to buy a luxury car. In the UK, if you ask an Englishman about the most luxurious car, 99% of them will answer that it is a Rolls Royce. Because in the eyes of the British, Rolls Royce is almost equivalent to the power, dignity and prosperity of the British Empire. And to be honest, Rolls-Royce''s cars are indeed luxurious. The most distinctive feature of Rolls-Royce is that it uses a lot of manual labor. In the United Kingdom, where labor costs are quite high, this will inevitably lead to high production costs. However, this is one of the reasons why Rolls Royce is so pricey. Until later generations, Rolls-Royce''s engines were completely handmade. Xia Yu once saw a data that from 1906 to later generations, more than 60% of Rolls-Royce cars performed well. Walking into the Rolls-Royce dealership, the salesperson saluted Xia Yu respectfully, and then asked Xia Yu. Xia Yu was chatting with him, but his eyes searched in the car dealership. "Dear sir and madam, we are the largest Rolls-Royce dealership in London, selling two brands of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars. Here, you can choose any model that exists on the market, only Only Rolls Royce can be worthy of your noble temperament." The mature and handsome middle-aged salesman said that although it was flattering, there was a sense of pride in his own brand in the words, which made Xia Yu nod secretly. It was an excellent salesman. "Dear sir and madam, this is the Gintama series, the first model ever launched by Rolls-Royce..." "This model is a Bentley T series. The model is similar to Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. It also has a one-piece body and uses a 6.75-liter v8-cylinder engine..." "Xia Yu, that black one looks good." Li Qian whispered softly in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu followed Li Qian''s gaze, and suddenly found a pure black luxury car not far away. The black appearance gave a strong visual impact. Sales immediately said: "Dear sir and madam, this car is the best-selling Gintama series in recent years..." "Can you sit on it and try it?" Xia Yu said suddenly. "Of course! Please!" Hearing this, the middle-aged salesman lifted up his spirits and said enthusiastically. At the same time, he opened the door of the car and bowed slightly in a gesture of please. Xia Yu and Li Qian sat directly in the back seats, feeling the touch of the big red leather seats. The door interior is decorated with handmade walnut wood, and is widely used, which looks pleasing to the eye and feels good to the touch. Xia Yu couldn''t help but think of the evaluation of this car. This car is a classic Rolls-Royce model. If it is put into later generations, it will not be a problem to sell for 30 million. "How much is this car?" After getting off the car, Xia Yu said to the salesman. Xia Yu¡¯s straightforwardness surprised the sales. He immediately said: "Dear Sir, this car is sold for ¡ê150,000 as a naked car." 150,000 pounds, according to the current exchange rate, is more than 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars. If this purchasing power is put into future generations, it will be nearly 10 million. But Xia Yu is not bad for this money He said to the salesman: "I need ten cars, can I pick up the car today?" "Ten?!" The sales glasses were wide, and he was very surprised. With a smile on his face, he quickly said: "Sir, don''t worry, we have two cars in the store, and there are cars in the warehouse behind. All other procedures have been completed, and only the corresponding information is needed. We will take care of other things for you." Those who can sell luxury cars are all rich, so Rolls-Royce¡¯s service must take into account the mentality of the rich, so the service is very considerate. Especially in recent years, the entire British economy has been in trouble, and Rolls-Royce¡¯s production and operation have also fallen into a trough. If the service is not good, how can it operate? Buying ten top-quality cars at one time is indeed a rich man! Sent! Xia Yu observed that Rolls-Royce''s business was indeed not very good. He waited in the store for nearly an hour, only one customer came in and just came to take a look. Knowing this, Xia Yu fell into deep thought while sitting in the new car driving back. Chapter 521: Thoughts on acquisition "Rolls Royce... Bentley... this is indeed a golden opportunity!" Xia Yu touched his chin, narrowed his eyes, and muttered to himself. After the Rolls-Royce came out, his heart was suddenly ready to move. He thought about Rolls Royce. If Rolls-Royce can be acquired, for him, whether it is strength or money, or the influence on connections and influence, it will be huge. And now it happens to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When the value of Rolls-Royce is low, it is most suitable for bargaining. If this opportunity is missed, even if it can be acquired in the future, the price will be more than ten times higher. Since entering the 1970s, the British economy has been declining, especially after the first world oil crisis, and the world economy has also fallen into a period of depression. Especially the year before last, in December 1976, John Bull, who had always been so arrogant and helpless, lowered his bull''s head and borrowed ¡ê2.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund, but at the cost of asking the UK to carry out a series of Economic reform. Affected by the overall economic environment, the British manufacturing industry and the service industry are all caught in a dilemma. Of course, Rolls-Royce is no exception, with serious losses. But Rolls-Royce is related to British defense and security after all, so the British Defense Equipment Group took over Rolls-Royce and began drastic reforms. However, the reforms are targeted, and the main force and resources are not invested in the automotive sector. Speaking of this, we have to mention Rolls-Royce. The English name of Rolls-Royce is Rolls-Roye. This word can be translated into two meanings. The first one is Rolls-Royce, a symbol of the automotive industry. The second translated name is equally famous, Rolls-Royce, the renowned Rolls-Royce company. Rolls-Royce is a well-known British aero engine company and the largest aero engine company in Europe. The various aero engines it develops are widely used in civil and military aircraft around the world. Rolls-Royce is the world''s second largest civil engine company, the world''s second largest military engine company, and one of the world''s three largest aero engine manufacturers. Not only that, Rolls-Royce is also involved in the British defense, shipbuilding, and energy fields, and they all occupy an important position. The automotive sector is just one of them. Xia Yu is a Xiangjiang person. If he wants to acquire Rolls-Royce, it will be as difficult as the sky. Unless the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appears in seven or eight years, and Xia Yu needs to be among the top ranks in the UK, then There is only one possibility. But now, don''t even think about it. However, Xia Yu also knows himself, and even if he has sufficient funds, he is not qualified, but if he simply purchases the Rolls-Royce Motor Division, there is still room for operation. Last year, the British Defense Equipment Group stepped in to split Rolls-Royce, and the automotive division was spun off separately and became a separate Rolls-Royce Motor Company under the Rolls-Royce Group. Despite the reforms for more than a year, the development of Rolls-Royce is still struggling. Nowadays, whether it is the request of the International Monetary Fund, the voice of the British people, or the secret promotion of the instigator of the British capitalists, the call for economic reform in the United Kingdom is growing. The Iron Lady Thatcher, who is carrying the banner of privatization, has an increasing support rate. The Conservative Party is fully supporting Thatcher. So Xia Yu secretly calculated his mind. Capital and politics have never been separated, especially when capital is stronger, it becomes closer to politics. If you want to acquire the sensitive Rolls-Royce Company at this juncture, and the buyer is Xia Yu, a British colony, or a person of the yellow race, there will be great resistance. Xia Yu must rely on politics and personal connections. Of course, if Rolls-Royce is really unable to acquire it, Bentley will be spun off if it doesn''t help. Bentley is the only brand of Rolls-Royce Motor Company besides the Rolls-Royce brand. Walter Irving Bentley founded the Bentley Motor Company in 1919. Because of his pursuit of speed, Bentley embarked on the professional design of high-end sports cars and racing cars. "To build a fast car, a good car, the most outstanding car in its class." The former founder Walter Owen Bentley initially pursued the ultimate and excellent car-making concept. The period from 1919 to 1929 was the most glorious period of Walter Owen Bentley, and it was also a period of Bentley''s reputation. He almost won every famous Le Mans 24-hour endurance race. Even Bentley still has the image of a "royal athlete" in the car world because of its luxury and speed. Unfortunately, in 1931, the poorly managed Bentley Motor Company was subordinated to Rolls-Royce at a price of 125,000 pounds. The car production line and engine research and development center were moved to Crewe, England, and they completely lost themselves and became Rolls. Rice''s rebranded products and market supplement. However, Bentley has been under Rolls-Royce for so many years, and Rolls-Royce has indeed tried its best. After decades of shaping, Bentley''s concept of luxury cars has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A deeply rooted concept is the most difficult to shape. It requires years of accumulation, which is the foundation. How many auto giants in the future generations of China Mainland want to build China''s luxury cars with huge sums of money, but unfortunately they have not succeeded. This shows that the difficulty is that the brand is the most difficult to build, and money is not enough, and it takes time to settle. So even if Rolls-Royce cannot be acquired, Bentley will acquire it. Decades ago, Rolls-Royce could acquire the mismanagement and troubled Bentley Motors. Decades later, Rolls-Royce Motor Company, which is in a poor management and sinking into a trough, can also sell Bentley Motor Company to save itself. Everything is possible! "If you want to acquire, you must first establish an investment company in the UK. It is best to go through a layer of disguise to reduce the resistance to acquisitions." "For the time being, let''s make this decision first, first find an entry point." Xia Yu muttered to himselfXia Yu, what''s wrong? what are you thinking about? " Li Qian, who was leaning against Xia Yu''s arms, heard Xia Yu''s mumbling, raised her head, and asked softly with Shui Lingling''s big eyes. Xia Yu smiled slightly, stroked Li Qian''s pretty face, and shook his head slightly and said, "It''s nothing. If you think of something, you will know later." "Hmm!" Li Qian lightly tapped her head and said with a sweet smile. All black Rolls Royce silver shadows lined up on the street, attracting the attention of many British people. The driver behind the car was arranged by the Rolls-Royce dealer to help Xia Yu drive the car to the designated place. Soon, the car heard that under the location of the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu left three cars for Liu Xiao and the others, and at the same time kept two of his original cars for them. Later, Xia Yu and others drove three new cars and set off again to the Huashang Bank. Chapter 522: Chinese Commercial Bank "China Commercial Bank, this is it." After getting off the bus, Xia Yu gave a chuckle when he looked at the four Chinese characters "Hua Commercial Bank" on the signboard. "It seems that the strength is good!" Sweeping around, there are high-rise buildings around, and even more than ten meters away, you can see the logo of Goldman Sachs Bank. Huashang Bank can establish a foothold in this place, and it seems that it is more than ten stories high, which is indeed a manifestation of its strength. After the admiration, Xia Yu led Li Qian to the bank, leaving a few people waiting, but Li Wuming and another bodyguard followed in. Seeing Xia Yu and his party coming in, dressed in luxurious clothes and carrying bodyguards, the bank staff were naturally not blind. A Chinese trot to greet him and said with a slight bow and respectfully: "Sir, what can I do? Is it for you?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "I''m not here to do business. I am Xia Yu, a friend of your president Wu Hongyi. I called him this morning. Is he here now?" Hearing what Xia Yu said, the staff was shocked and glanced at the luxury car outside. He didn''t suspect that Xia Yu was telling lies. He was more respectful and quickly said: "Sir, our president is upstairs now, trouble Please wait a moment, I will call for instructions, and then I will take you up." "Don''t worry, trouble you!" Xia Yu said with a smile, watching the staff come to the front desk, whispered a few words to a front desk lady, and then dialed the phone. Only after the call was connected, the staff''s complexion changed, and then immediately hung up the phone and returned with a more respectful attitude. "Sir, our president is in the office, I will take you up now, please come with me!" Soon, Xia Yu and others entered the elevator, and when the elevator door opened, he drove to Wu Hongyi''s strange and familiar face. At this time, he was standing at the door with a full smile. "Xia Yu, long time no see!" Wu Hongyi gave Xia Yu a hug, his tone was slightly excited. "Hongyi, long time no see, I really miss it!" After Wu Hongyi exchanged greetings with Xia Yu, he said hello to Li Qian and Li Wuming. Both of them had met Wu Hongyi, so they knew each other. "Mr. Li, Ms. Li, good afternoon!" ... "Xia Yu, come sit inside, you are finally here, haha!" After arriving at Wu Hongyi''s office, Xia Yu and others found a place to sit down and looked at Wu Hongyi''s office. The office is very spacious, with a simple and luxurious table made of yellow rosewood, and the supporting stools seem to be made of yellow rosewood. Behind is a bookshelf, on the left is a filing cabinet, and on the wall behind is a plaque, showing a picture of words, and there are five powerful characters on it. Honesty wins the world! In addition, there are three paintings hanging on the wall next to each other, and each one is densely stamped, which is a very valuable antique calligraphy and painting. Look at Wu Hongyi''s teapot and cup, purple clay teapot and blue and white porcelain cup. The most important thing is Wu Hongyi. Xia Yu couldn''t help comparing him with the impression in his mind. Compared with half a year ago, the changes have been too great. The most important thing is the temperament. The mature and stable temperament is obvious. And there is a confident and sunny temperament on her body. Xia Yu sighed and exclaimed: "Hongyi, I haven''t seen you in half a year. You have changed so much. You have become the president of China Commercial Bank. It''s gratifying!" Wu Hongyi just poured the boiling water down to cover the lid. He raised his head and smiled modestly: "I''m overwhelmed. Although I have a small achievement, I am overshadowed by comparison with you." "Hey, you can''t be confused, and I don''t know how good you are. Compared to half a year ago, you have changed a lot. You are in charge of the Chinese Commercial Bank at a young age. It is clear that your grandpa values ??you and the road ahead is smooth! Of course it is worth celebrating!" Xia Yu waved his hand and retorted. Wu Hongyi smiled even more, acquiescing to Xia Yu''s statement, poured Xia Yu a cup of tea, and said: "It''s not thanks to your wake up, otherwise I''m still messing around now." "By the way, Xia Yu, how long will you stay here this time?" Wu Hongyi changed the subject and asked with concern. "Maybe, but at least a few months." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Really? That''s great!" "In the days to come, I will have to ask you for advice. Don''t look at my current position as the president. It looks glamorous, but it''s under too much pressure, lack of ability, sleep stability, and fear of poor management. " "Your ability is ten times that of mine, please be sure to teach me." Wu Hongyi exclaimed in surprise, and then began to complain to Xia Yu, completely not looking like a bank president. "That''s over for you. I happen to have a lot of things I want to consult with you. Let''s discuss each other." "..." It seemed that it had been too long to see, Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu talked everything and talked about everything. Unconsciously, it was past five o''clock in the evening. In December, the direct sun has moved south to near the Tropic of Capricorn. Days are long and nights are short in the northern hemisphere, especially in London near the Arctic Circle. The nights are even longer, so by more than five o''clock in the afternoon, the sky is already dark. Seeing the sky getting dark, Wu Hongyi woke up and stopped talking. "Xia Yu, it''s late, go, go to dinner, we have a chat while eating, I have asked Uncle Chang to prepare a lot of good dishes, you will love it!" After that, he took Xia Yu and others to the Phoenix Building in Chinatown. As time passed, Xia Yu and others were sitting in the elegant room of the Phoenix Building. The table was full of delicious foods that were delicious, delicious, and delicious. "Xia Yu, I toast you a glass and welcome you to London again!" Wu Hongyi raised the glass full of wine and solemnly said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu and the others also immediately raised their wine glasses. Li Qian pours juice because she can''t drink, and Li Wuming, who doesn''t drink, uses tea instead of wine. "Hongyi, thank you for your warm hospitality and drink together!" "Hi...ha!" "it is good!" "Come on, Hongyi, eat more food!" ... While eating and chatting, the topic returned to Huashang Bank unconsciously. "Hony, China Commercial Bank is doing well, right?" Xia Yu asked with a bite of lobster meat. "It should be said that it is okay. The British economy is in trouble, and the major banks have a hard time Fortunately, we are a group of Chinese, and China Merchants Bank is now the largest Chinese bank in the UK, so there are various With the support of big Chinese businessmen, life is going well." Wu Hongyi said lightly, with emotion in his words. After taking over the Chinese Commercial Bank, he has a deeper and deeper understanding of the financial industry in the UK, and the more he knows the inside story, his mentality has become different. "I remember that Huashang Bank is a listed company, right?" Xia Yu asked suddenly. "Yes, although our Huashang Bank is very young, it is the first listed Chinese bank and the only one so far!" Although Wu Hongyi wondered why Xia Yu asked this, he still replied that he was very proud in his words. After all, Huashang Bank was founded by his father. "What''s wrong, Xia Yu, is there any problem? Why are you asking this?" Looking at Xia Yu who was obviously a little surprised, Wu Hongyi asked suspiciously. Chapter 523: Acquisition of equity in Huashang Bank He smiled and said: "Think of something, Hony, take the liberty to ask, what is the share composition of Huashang Bank?" Wu Hongyi is a little confused about Xia Yu''s problem, but Xia Yu''s problem is not impossible to say. As long as he is careful, he can definitely find it out. After all, Huashang Bank is a listed company. Therefore, he put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and answered truthfully: "This is not something to say." "Even though Huashang Bank was originally founded by my father, for better development, there are two partners. My father holds 70% of the shares and the other two hold 15% each." "There has been no change since then, until the time of listing, 25% of the equity was released to the market." "Later, our family also cashed out some stocks... After a series of changes, I now hold 17% of the shares, and our Wu family also holds 30% of the shares, so our Wu family holds a total of 47% of the shares. , I also use this to become the president of China Commercial Bank." "In addition to me, the bank also has 4 major shareholders, the shareholding ratios from high to low are 9.7%, 7.6%, 6.4%, 5.2%." "Other stocks are distributed among investors and institutions, and the distribution is relatively fragmented." Listening to Wu Hongyi''s detailed explanation, Xia Yu wondered inwardly. According to Wu Hongyi, there should be 24.1% of stocks in the hands of external retail investors and institutions. It¡¯s not wrong that the Chinese Commercial Bank is owned by the Wu family, but the Chinese Commercial Bank is also the capital turnover center of the British Chinese business community, and its influence is absolutely huge. Xia Yu wants to build influence in Britain, whether it is among the British or the Chinese, it needs to be done. Undoubtedly, if you can enter the Huashang Bank and become a pivotal shareholder, then the reputation will definitely be hit immediately. And by virtue of the status of the major shareholder of Chinese Commercial Bank, it is enough to enter any level of circle of British Chinese businessmen, and the benefits are very far-reaching. Although Xia Yu is strong in Xiangjiang and his reputation must have reached the ears of British Chinese businessmen, he has never been in contact with him after all, and if he is too far away, the British Chinese businessmen will not feel deeply. Even if he knew that Xia Yu had come to the UK or saw Xia Yu at a party, he would carefully choose to wait and see. Even if he would contact him, he would be vigilant, and it would take time to get rid of their guard. However, if you directly enter the Chinese Commercial Bank and use the Wu family of the top Chinese businessmen in the UK as a background, various problems will be solved. To put it simply, Xia Yu wants to take advantage of the Wu family to pave the way for him. In addition, Huashang Bank is the core bank of Chinese capital after all, and its potential and money are huge, and it is worth investing in. But if you want to invest in Huashang Bank, you still have to see whether Wu Jiahuan is welcome. In short, I still have to give it a try. Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Wu Hongyi: "Hongyi, asking you about this situation, also suddenly came up with an idea. With our relationship, I will not hide it. If you are unhappy, you will treat it as I never said it. ." Wu Hongyi frowned slightly, and there were some bad guesses in his heart, but he didn''t show it, and said with a smile: "Xia Yu, tell me, there is nothing to say between us." "Then I''ll be straightforward." "I am very optimistic about the future of Huashang Bank." As soon as this remark came out, Wu Hongyi snorted in his heart. Fortunately, he was still calm, so he heard Xia Yu continue. "I plan to buy some shares of China Merchants Bank from the stock market and become a shareholder of China Merchants Bank. But you can rest assured that I will not rob China Merchants Bank with your family. I can''t do it either. I just want to become a shareholder. There is a handy sign to avoid embarrassment later." "I thought about it, if you buy stocks rashly, it''s easy to cause misunderstandings, so I ask your opinion." "Of course, if it doesn''t fit, forget it, I''ll choose another bank." Xia Yu said frankly and didn''t conceal his purpose. Anyway, with Wu Hongyi''s ingenuity and Wu''s old fox''s IQ, he could easily guess his purpose. That being the case, it is better to state clearly and be sincere. After listening to Xia Yu''s words, Wu Hongyi was completely worried, smiled, and promised: "Of course I have no objection. I am very welcome. With your joining, China Commercial Bank will definitely increase its strength. If you don''t dislike it, I will take the president''s The position is for you, it will definitely develop faster in my hands in your hands." Xia Yu''s magnanimity relieved Wu Hongyi. He knew that this was Xia Yu''s statement, indicating that he had no idea about Huashang Bank, so he did not have to worry. Wu Hongyi is not a stupid person. From the attitude of Xia Yu, he also knows that Xia Yu''s words are true thoughts. He has learned about Xia Yu''s deeds in Xiangjiang, the way of nature Xia Yu''s thunderous methods in the financial market. If Xia Yu really wanted to **** the Chinese Commercial Bank from the Wu family, he would not tell him clearly that he would buy the stock. Since Xia Yu intends to become a shareholder of Huashang Bank, Wu Hongyi of course welcomes him with both hands and feet. With this super heavyweight shareholder, Huashang Bank¡¯s security will greatly increase and the future will become brighter. In addition, with the addition of this layer of interest links, the relationship between him and Xia Yu will be deeper, which is undoubtedly very good. Therefore, in his opinion, Xia Yu''s acquisition of Chinese Commercial Bank shares from the stock market will only benefit him and the Wu family. Is there any reason to oppose this? Seeing Wu Hongyi¡¯s sincere smile, Xia Yu hurriedly smiled and shook his head and said, ¡°How dare I grab your position as president? Your grandpa won¡¯t beat me, haha, I¡¯ll just be an ordinary shareholder, and the president will quit. It¡¯s hard to say what you can¡¯t do better than you. The most important thing is that you¡¯re too tired to make money when you lie down!" Wu Hongyi couldn''t laugh or cry suddenly, and shook his head and said, "That''s okay, but don''t think about it easily. When the time comes, Huashang Bank will also have your share. When I encounter a problem, I will find you to solve the puzzle and I will feel at ease." Wu Hongyi¡¯s words made Xia Yu laugh helplessly. He shrugged and laughed as if to laugh at himself: "It seems that I have found something for myself? I still want to take a good break. Hey, it is hard work. what¡­¡­" "Come on, do it!" With that, Xia Yu held up the wine glass. Xia Yu''s attitude was obvious. Wu Hongyi also smiled and picked up the wine glass, and touched it with Xia Yu. "It''s done, you are welcome to join!" "Guru!" "Haha, good drink, come, eat some food slowly..." A verbal cooperation was reached, and both of them were in a good mood, and the atmosphere at the dining table became stronger. The friendship between the two quickly warmed up in the interlocking coquettishness, because some strangeness that hadn''t been seen in half a year quickly disappeared on the wine table. Unknowingly, it was about nine o''clock in the evening, and the table became a mess, and everyone was full of food and drink. "Hongyi, it''s getting late, we will go back first. The time to come is still long. I will live in my manor in the future. Come and sit when you have time." "Must, then I will give it to you!" With that, everyone got up and went downstairs. Wu Hongyi put Xia Yu and others in the car, waved to watch Xia Yu and others leave. He also wanted to go back to his residence. Uncle Chang, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Master, wait a minute, Master wants you to stay home tonight." Wu Hongyi stopped, staring at Uncle Chang who watched him grow up, and asked: "Uncle Chang, why did Grandpa call me back well?" Although Wu''s Manor is in London, Wu Hongyi is used to living outside, so every day after get off work, he returns to his residence. Of course, this residence is another set besides the one next to Xia Yu Manor. It is located in the urban area and is convenient for work, entertainment and leisure. Uncle Chang, dressed in Tang costume, said kindly: "Master, you forgot, today is your birthday, I wanted to remind you, but you want to entertain Mr. Xia Yu, and other things will be rejected, so I didn''t say anything. " "Just now the master ordered someone to call and ask you why you didn''t go home, so I told you about the situation. Master knew that you were hosting Mr. Xia Yu, so he asked me not to disturb you, but he asked you to come home after the hospitality. " "birthday?" Wu Hongyi smiled sharply, shook his head and felt a little complicated. Since the death of his parents, all he remembered was his parents'' death and birthday, and his birthday was not at all concerned. And he also lives outside by himself, so he can have a good time. When it comes to his birthday, Uncle Chang will prepare for him. He disappointed his grandfather Wu Chengde before. Even though his grandfather let him go home for his birthday, he refused. Since then, he hasn''t been at home for his birthday, at most alone, even though. Because he didn''t care, Wu Hongyi forgot that today is his birthday. "Uncle Chang, I know, I will go back now." Shaking his head slightly to make himself more awake, Wu Hongyi smiled and said to Uncle Chang, then got in the car and ordered his subordinates to drive to the Wu family compound. Not long after, Wu Hongyi entered the Wu family compound and walked straight to grandpa''s yard after getting off the car. Seeing that the lights were still on inside, Wu Hongyi knew that grandpa was not asleep yet. Just about to knock on the door of the small courtyard, the door happened to open, and the old and kind face of the butler Fu Bo appeared. "Second Young Master, you are back, the master is not asleep yet, waiting for you in the house!" The housekeeper Fu Bo said with a kind smile, and he pushed the door open so that Wu Hongyi could come in. "Fu Bo, then I will go in first." Wu Hongyi said respectfully and walked into the yard. When I came to the living room, I happened to see the grandfather Wu Chengde, who was sitting in the lobby and reading a book. Since Wu Hongyi woke up, the family has a better development trend, and Wu Chengde''s state seems to be better. This may be the reason why the mentality affects the physical condition. Seeing Wu Hongyi coming back, Wu Chengde put down the book, with a kind smile on his face, knocked on the table and motioned Wu Hongyi to sit opposite. "Grandpa, sorry, I''m back late." As soon as Wu Hongyi sat down, the butler Fu Bo poured a cup of tea and Wu Hongyi immediately stood up and took it with both hands: "Thank you Fu Bo!" "It''s okay, I''m still in good health, just come back." "How is the bank''s situation recently? Are there any difficulties?" Wu Chengde asked in an old voice. "Operation is okay. The current situation is better than last month. To say that there are difficulties, it is also a common problem encountered by banks. It is limited by the overall business environment and can only count on the government to reform." Wu Hongyi said truthfully. Wu Chengde nodded slightly and said faintly: "In a special period, it is not bad to be able to continue business. The most important thing to be a bank is to be stable, take it slow, and not rush." "I know!" Wu Hongyi nodded in response. After answering, Wu Hongyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The hall suddenly became quiet, and the butler Fu Bo moved slightly to add tea to the two. After a while, Wu Chengde asked again: "Will you entertain Xia Yu at the Phoenix Building tonight?" Wu Hongyi came secretly, bowed his eyebrows and lowered his head to say what Wu Chengde wanted to know: "Yes, he just came to London today. He called me in the morning, and he came to China Commercial Bank to find me around 4 o''clock in the afternoon. For more than an hour, I then invited him to dinner to pick him up." After listening, Wu Chengde smiled with satisfaction and said softly: "Yes, he called you when he first came. It seems that the relationship between you is not unfamiliar, and it is good for you and the Wu family to continue to maintain it." Wu Hongyi pursed his lips and nodded without saying much. Hearing what his grandfather said, he didn''t feel good in his heart, but the intellect of an adult told him that the capitalist world is like this. The relationship between his friend and Xia Yu was originally very simple. He liked that kind of friendship very much, but because of reality, he had to mix some other things in it. Knowing what his grandson was thinking, Wu Chengde reminded faintly: "It seems that you still need to be tempered. You are still alive. Of course you have the friendship of the uncle''s age, but that is only a minority. What is friendship? With the value of exchange and transaction, the relationship will be deeper and can be maintained for a longer time." Wu Hongyi couldn''t deny it. He didn''t argue with his grandfather, but just nodded and replied, "I know." Although Wu''s family is far away in London, they are also very concerned about the big events of Xiangjiang. Especially Wu''s family also has some trade relations with Xiangjiang, and the news about Xiangjiang is naturally very well informed. Xia Yu turned the clouds and rains in Xiangjiang, punched the Jardine consortium and became a top tycoon. They naturally knew that, especially the consortium with the characteristic of "Jiahe", they had to pay more attention. After all, the word "Jiehe" originally meant They belong to the Wu family. Not to mention, at that time, I knew that Xia Yu led a group of people to hunt the Yihe Consortium, and when the news of the deaths of the three people of the Jardine Consortium Keswick and his son finally reached the Wu family, the Wu family shook up and down, and Wu Honglin was still thinking about it. After learning the news, I was frightened and sweated. Later, I had a fever for more than half a month. And Wu Chengde collected the latest and most comprehensive information for the first time, and after reading it, he had an attitude, that is, that Wu Hongyi must maintain a friendly relationship with Xia Yu. Wu Hongyi, who was originally happy and shocked by Xia Yu, certainly agreed. Suddenly, Wu Hongyi thought about tonight''s affairs, straightened out his thoughts, and said, "Grandpa, I had a dinner with Xia Yu tonight and we had a chat. I have agreed. It is about Huashang Bank." Wu Chengde raised his head to look at Wu Hongyi, and asked, "What''s the matter?" "He told me that he intends to buy some bank stocks from the stock market and become a shareholder of the bank. He made it clear to me that he just needs to rely on the identity of a shareholder to act well, and he has no intention of buying. I have agreed." Wu Hongyi said softly. Wu Chengde looked at his grandson quietly. Seeing Wu Hongyi''s calm gaze, Wu Chengde nodded expressionlessly, contemplating his eyebrows. Fu Bo, the housekeeper on the side, couldn¡¯t help frowning. He was a little worried. He was a person close to Wu Chengde, and he naturally knew who Xia Yu was. He was a financial crocodile. Introducing this kind of person to Huashang Bank would definitely have risk. He never used the worst thoughts to contemplate people''s hearts, and naturally a series of bad possibilities emerged in his mind. But after all, he is a subordinate, Wu Chengde did not ask him, he is not easy to interrupt in this matter, lest it affect Wu Chengde''s thinking. After a long time, Wu Chengde asked suddenly: "Do you know what he did in London suddenly?" Wu Hongyi was taken aback, and immediately replied: "I didn''t ask about it. It is not convenient after all, but he told me that he will stay in the UK for at least a few months." Wu Chengde nodded and said for a long time: "Since he told you clearly, it means that he is not malicious, and what he said is true. Of course, he does not rule out the possibility of sinister intentions." "What he said should be the truth. It should be to use the influence of our Wu family to facilitate his expansion of contacts in the UK. Of course, this is also good for us. It has deepened contact with him and has great benefits in the long run. At least we In the future, the business in Hong Kong will open up better, not to mention in the UK." "You promised him, so be it. You are welcome to come in and help him buy stocks." "In addition..." When Wu Chengde said this, he paused for a moment, considered it for a moment, and continued: "You don''t need to pay, the family will transfer 4% of the equity to him, to show that we welcome him." "But you have to pay attention, his equity cannot exceed yours." Wu Hongyi was surprised, but he immediately nodded: "I know, I will tell him tomorrow." "Ok!" "If you have anything in the future, remember to tell me in time." "Do you have anything else to say?" Wu Chengde asked. Wu Hongyi shook his head and said softly: "No." "Well, let me have someone cook a bowl of noodles for you. If you can still eat it, eat some." "I''m going back to the room first, and you rest early." Finally Wu Chengde exhorted him and got up and went back to the room. The housekeeper Fu Bo, who stood by, immediately assisted Wu Chengde into the house. Looking at grandpa''s old back, Wu Hongyi smiled, took the tea and drank it, then got up and left. The next day, Wu Hongyi told Xia Yu what his grandfather meant, and Xia Yu was very surprised, but still gratefully accepted Wu''s kindness. Subsequently, he immediately entrusted HSBC Holdings to help him purchase the shares of China Commercial Bank, and Wu Jia also secretly helped in the purchase. At the same time, he entrusted a third-party company to help him register a Bright Fund Management Co., Ltd. as quickly as possible, and immediately took over the 4% equity transferred by Wujia. With multiple assistance, all possible difficulties are gone, and the progress is very fast. Within seven days, the equity of Huashang Bank held by Guangming Fund increased to 15%, and Xia Yu immediately stopped the acquisition. The news that the unfamiliar Bright Fund raised its placard to become the second largest shareholder of the Chinese Commercial Bank also spread among the British Chinese. Chapter 524: Got rich After becoming the second largest shareholder of Huashang Bank, Wu Hongyi held a board meeting to pave the way for Xia Yu to introduce Xia Yu to the directors and shareholders of Huashang Bank. In the meantime, I naturally introduced the identities of Xia Yu Xiangjiang Jiuding Culture Media Group and the chairman of Jiuding Financial Group. To become a shareholder of China Commercial Bank, it is naturally a powerful Chinese family or entrepreneur in the UK. Almost all have heard of Xia Yu''s name and glorious deeds, but they have seen a real person for the first time. After that, there was a warm welcome, and at the same time, I was surprised by the relationship between Xia Yu and Wu''s family. After the meeting of the board of directors, Wu Hongyi immediately convened a high-level meeting of Huashang Bank to introduce the new director Xia Yu to the top of Yiying, and the specific process will not be discussed. All in all, with Xia Yu''s official appearance at the Chinese Commercial Bank, information about Xia Yu immediately spread to all directions. Basically, Chinese businessmen in London knew that a raptor from Xiangjiang arrived in London, and many people had different thoughts. Of course, Xia Yu''s arrival only caused a shock in the Chinese circle, but did not cause a sensation among the British. At most, only a small number of British people noticed, and the family that is really at the top of the United Kingdom did not. After all, although Huashang Bank is said to be the most powerful bank among Chinese businessmen, there are more than 600 banks in London alone, and more than 500 multinational banks. The strength of Huashang Bank is not among the more than 100 local banks. prominent. The blunt point is that the strength is average, and the addition of a new director is not worthy of the capital market''s attention. Unless a top newspaper announces it to the entire United Kingdom and introduces Xia Yu''s information, it is estimated that it will attract the attention of the top British families. However, Xia Yu didn''t need to do this at all. Once his strength was reached, his reputation would naturally spread, and doing that would only become a clown. While Xia Yu was busy taking a stake in Huashang Bank, Liu Xiao from Galaxy Fund and others continued to implement the plan silently. When Xia Yu successfully entered the China Commercial Bank and finished two meetings, the work of Liu Xiao and others was nearing completion. Xia Yu left China Commercial Bank and went to the Galaxy Fund''s location on the other side of the City of London. He found Liu Xiao and others in the office. "How is the situation?" As soon as Xia Yu sat down, he went straight to the subject and asked. "Boss, our funds have entered the market with 2.2 billion U.S. dollars. The first one billion U.S. dollars was used to enter the market with five times leverage, and then 1.1 billion U.S. dollars was used to enter the market with the principal. The last 100 million U.S. dollars was entered with five times leverage. Six million dollars of funds have not entered the market." "Before entering the market, the price of London gold was 244.7 US dollars an ounce. As we accumulated 6.6 billion US dollars of funds into the market, the price of gold rose to 246.6 US dollars an ounce in a short time." Speaking of this, Liu Xiao paused, frowned and said: "Boss, we are very careful in our actions. The funds are scattered to more than two hundred banks. The amount of funds in each bank will not be too obvious, but we feel that someone should be aware of it. wrong." After hearing this, Xia Yu frowned and asked intently: "When did you feel it?" "Just yesterday afternoon, when Bahrain Bank invested 20 million US dollars to buy gold." "The two Barclays Bank and Lloyds Bank that you specifically ordered to pay attention. We only bought 10 million US dollars of gold. Most of the gold was bought from foreign banks such as Morgan Bank, Citibank, UBS. ." Liu Xiao immediately replied. After listening to Liu Xiao''s explanation, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Liu Xiao did what he said. Fortunately, it is not Barclays Bank or Lloyds Bank that has noticed. The Bank of Bahrain is the core asset of the Bahrain family, which has two earls, and it does not matter if the Bahrain family is aware of it. Moreover, to be honest, for the strength of the Bank of Barings, buying 20 million in gold is not too much. After all, Barings Bank is an established bank with the highest strength in the UK. Not a problem. But Barclays Bank and Lloyds Bank are different. Behind them are the Rohill family and the major British families. Their energy can be increased. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hands and eyes of the United Kingdom are clear. Although all of Xia Yu¡¯s gold orders will eventually be collected by the four major market makers through various banks, but in the face of so many multinational banks, even if the four major market makers have doubts, there is no way to check. Customer information to peers. Therefore, buying gold from major multinational banks has the highest confidentiality and safety factors. "Don''t buy the rest of the money for the time being. When the revolution really breaks out, you will see the opportunity again, even less conspicuous at that time." Xia Yu thought about the nearly 100 million U.S. dollars that had not yet entered the market, and then thought about it. "understand!" Liu Xiao and others responded together. After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiao suddenly asked: "The boss, if this is the case, we are fine for the time being." "It just so happened that I established a bright fund. You are responsible for helping me build it and complete it. Then you withdraw and secretly help me collect information about Rolls-Royce and the British financial and media industry. The more detailed the better, the better I can do. ." Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered again. "Yes!" Later, Xia Yu left the resident of Galaxy Fund. Although Liu Xiao and others were asked to help improve the structure of the Bright Fund, Xia Yu did not completely let go. He entrusted a headhunting company to help him hire a general manager with sufficient connections and capabilities in the UK. It just so happened that the headhunting company had made progress and recommended five talents to Xia Yu. In the next two days, Xia Yu interviewed one by one, and finally recruited a 37-year-old British, George Berkeley. George Berkeley has a Ph.D. in Economics and Management from Oxford University, and has worked as a stock market trader, fund investment manager, and bank manager. He has rich experience and can easily pass the test set by Xia Yu. With a broad vision, a certain overall view, and strong contacts, he is very appreciated by Xia Yu. Of course, the most important thing is that there are related memories of George Berkeley in Xia Yu''s memory, knowing that George Berkeley will become the head of the UK branch of Goldman Sachs in the future, standing at the top of the UK financial industry. George Berkeley will be able to reach this position in the future, and it is appropriate that a talent who has not yet fully shined, Xia Yu will certainly not let it go. After hiring George Berkeley as the general manager, Xia Yu let him be responsible for building and perfecting the company, and at the same time mobilizing his wealth of contacts to dig out people. It happens that the overall economic environment in the UK is not good these years, let alone the financial industry. Xia Yu knew that after Thatcher came to power, a series of reform measures would be quite effective. Britain would gradually get out of the quagmire. At that time, the golden flowers of the financial industry would bloom again and the industry''s salary would gradually rise. So let George Berkeley offer a high salary in advance, this method is absolutely easy to use, after all, George Berkeley was attracted by Xia Yu''s high salary. Once people get busy, they feel that time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was December 26. This morning may be due to heavy rain last night, and the sky in London was filled with fog. On this day, the *revolution that shocked the world broke out, Iran stopped oil exports, and the major news organizations stationed in Iran sent the news back to the countries in the first place. At noon, the British radio and television station BBC suddenly interrupted an international news. This news spread rapidly in the UK, and the capitalists responded the fastest. The price of gold in London jumped directly from US$268.7 an ounce to US$287.5 an ounce, and with the reports of major television stations and newspapers, the news spread further and the price of gold continued to rise. On this day, Xia Yu had been waiting in front of the TV. After seeing the news from BBC, he was completely relieved. When he learned of the violent fluctuations in the price of gold in London, Xia Yu couldn''t hide his smile at all. Get rich! Even before that day passed, Fuying exceeded US$500 million! PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! Don''t forget, it''s a pity to waste! Chapter 525: The United States is difficult The YSL revolution broke out in Iran and the news of stopping oil exports immediately shook the whole world. Especially those developed countries that need a lot of oil for development are even more frightened. In the New York futures market, the world¡¯s first oil futures just appeared more than a month ago. The price jumped directly from the price of 14.8 US dollars a barrel to 16.1 US dollars a barrel. With the influx of capital, the price is still increasing rapidly. Speed ??up. Governments of various countries have issued orders to send personnel to Iran in an attempt to obtain the latest and most complete information. The governments of various countries can wait, but the capitalists of the world will not wait foolishly. None of the capitalists are fools. They all know that once the revolution breaks out, it cannot be over in just ten and a half days. As a result, when Iranian oil will be sold again, no one can say, what if it will take a few months? Or even a year or a few years? Other countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, are powerless even if they want to seize the Iranian market. After all, oil extraction does not happen overnight. Therefore, capital has foreseen that the price of oil will continue to rise in a short period of time, which will be followed by a series of vicious reactions, inflation, and the continued depreciation of the dollar. Originally, European and American countries have fallen into an economic quagmire. The rise in international crude oil prices has made all countries worse, and even a slight improvement has been cast a shadow over them. So in order to avoid losses, capital began to take refuge quickly. There is no doubt that gold has become the only refuge for capital! Huge amounts of funds poured into the world¡¯s New York and London gold markets. Not only securities companies, fund companies, and asset management companies, but even banks and central banks around the world bought gold in the first place to preserve their assets. What''s more, some industrial companies also put idle funds into the gold market. As a result, massive amounts of funds poured into the gold market, pushing up the price of gold. Faced with the huge amount of funds coming in, the major banks in London were in a mess. Xia Yu''s funds suddenly appeared insignificant, market information became chaotic, and Xia Yu''s safety increased greatly. ... Xiangjiang, the Bao family mansion. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were sitting together drinking tea, their faces filled with bright smiles. "Tsk tusk, Lao Huo, I didn''t expect that Xia Yu actually fought for London Gold, and predicted the outbreak of the crisis more than half a month in advance. It seems that his intelligence capabilities are too strong!" Bao Yugang said with deep emotion, with a look of admiration. "Yes, his business intelligence capabilities are really strong. No one in Xiangjiang can match him. After all, Jiuding News Agency is spread all over the world. This is the only one in Xiangjiang!" Huo Yingdong nodded his head agreeably, and at the same time raised the importance of Jiuding News Agency by several levels in his heart. It can be said that the news agency is a heavy weapon of the country, and it is generally supported by the state, but Xia Yu has one privately. Huo Yingdong suddenly had the urge to create a news agency in an instant, but fortunately, he didn''t lose his mind and knew that he didn''t have the ability, so he suppressed the sudden impulse in his heart. "However, Xia Yu is also bold and daring to gamble, or his internal market analysis power is strong. If it is us, he may not dare or discover it." "Indeed, although Xia Yu is young, he can be said to be the first in Hong Kong in terms of the overall situation. Even if I have been around for decades, I think I can''t match him." "Now the price of gold has risen by more than 10%, and our profits alone are nearly tens of millions of dollars. Not to mention, I really feel ashamed. After all, we have done nothing." Bao Yugang shook his head with emotion, his expression a bit complicated. Huo Yingdong smiled and said: "Old Bao, what do you want to do so much? Since the entire Xiangjiang, Xia Yu only took the two of us, then we will write down this favor and pay it back slowly. You are not yet confident to provide Xia Yu in Xiangjiang. help?" "How is this possible? Even though the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce are in great shape now, but you and I are working together, and you are not afraid of anyone. How can I not help Xia Yu?" Bao Yugang said loudly, the words have the power of the richest man in Hong Kong. He and Huo Yingdong were able to stand on the top of the Xiangjiang River, naturally quick thinking, and able to guess part of Xia Yu''s mind, but they had no opinion. After all, Xia Yu chose them because he was worthy of them. Mutual benefit and alliances between businessmen are normal. Xia Yu can choose other people, but they have no choice. With Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s dripping grace as Yongquan, they had already made up their minds to support this little brother. "Lao Huo, Xia Yu is not in Xiangjiang during this time. We can''t slap ourselves in the face. I''m not as good as you in that aspect. I need you to bear with me." Bao Yugang narrowed his smile and said solemnly. "No problem, if you and I can still see an accident, what face do we have to mix in Xiangjiang?" An edge flashed in Huo Yingdong''s eyes, and he said solemnly. ... Liu Xiao, George Berkeley and others were busy working on the matter, but Xia Yu seemed to have nothing to do. Wandering outside, I came to the vicinity of Huashang Bank before I knew it. Thinking of being a shareholder and director of Huashang Bank, but not fulfilling his due responsibilities and obligations, Xia Yu thought about it and went to Huashang Bank. In the respectful voice of the staff, Xia Yu took Li Qian upstairs and saw Wu Hongyi was busy. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Wu Hongyi put aside his work and said with a smile: "Xia Yu, why are you here?" "As a member of the bank, how can I just hang around?" Xia Yu said noyu, making Wu Hongyi laugh. "Yes, yes, look at my mouth." "Come on, drink tea and talk." Then, Xia Yu entered Wu Hongyi''s office and drank tea. "Hony, how is the bank''s capital flow now? If there is free funds, I suggest buying all gold to maintain its value." Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said seriously. Wu Hongyi put down his teacup and thought through his eyebrows: "There is still a lot of funds. I also watched the news at noon. The revolution broke out in Iran. Now the price of gold is skyrocketing. But Xia Yu, I am still struggling. Has the pressure of the United States been shutting down oil exports? Will the United States also intervene as before? What if it suddenly reopens its exports?" Xia Yu said: "Don''t worry, the revolution will not end in a short time. Iran wants to eliminate the constitutional monarchy. Ruhola Mousavi Khomeini has been in exile overseas for more than ten years, and the revolution is directed by remote control. If he fails to achieve his goal , How can you stop?" "In a deeper sense, this time it was the Soviet counterattack against the United States. It is estimated that the United States did not expect the revolution to erupt so quickly. Even if the United States wants to intervene, the Soviet Union will have measures. You must know that Iran is next to the Soviet Union! The American whip is beyond its reach!" This view of Xia Yu is very novel. Wu Hongyi had never thought about it from a political perspective before. At this time, when he heard it, he suddenly felt that his thinking became broadened. He carefully chewed Xia Yu''s view. "That has the support of the Soviet Union. Didn''t Khomeini say that success is very likely? The Soviet Union should want to end the revolution as soon as possible and take control of Iran?" Wu Hongyi asked. "Revolution is not that simple. Even if the Soviet Union wants to settle as soon as possible, it needs to look at the actual situation." "At the same time as this revolution, it should be a strategy of the Soviet Union to stop exporting oil. This is to make European and American countries in a dilemma. It has to be said that the Soviet Union seized a good opportunity. Therefore, the revolution is unsuccessful and Iranian oil will never be exported again. NATO The overall pressure is not good either!" Xia Yu said with a smile, admiring the Soviet plan in his heart. Wu Hongyi didn''t expect there to be a Taoist inside. He suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What''s the solution?" "The European economy is now in a dilemma, but Europe is extremely dependent on oil from the Middle East, while the United States itself is in a dilemma of inflation. Both oil and the US dollar have been hit. The US government must find a way to end this bad situation as soon as possible, which requires the United States to admit defeat. " "But if the United States invests its forces in Iran to compete with the Soviet Union, then the revolution will become a proxy war between the two sides, and because of the popular and religious issues in Iran, the United States must invest several times the energy of the Soviet Union if it wants to win. Too big." "This fight will take a long time. When the United States intervenes, anti-American sentiment in Iran will skyrocket. If Iran does not export oil, the United States will not be able to stand it. The Soviet Union will have nothing to do." "After all, the Soviet Union was originally blocked by European and American countries, and it has reached this point. The Soviet Union itself does not lack oil and is completely self-sufficient." "Even as a last resort, Europe will have to buy Soviet oil to survive. Then the NATO blockade is about to open. This is not what the United States wants to see." "So now, the US government has no choice. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Rather than reaching out to take care of other countries'' affairs, it is better to solve its own troubles first." Xia Yu smiled and talked freely. "So under the passive resistance from Europe and the United States, the Iranian revolution has basically stabilized and succeeded, but the United States will definitely not let it go, and the Middle East will become lively in the future." "Oh, it''s far, let''s talk about the current gold price." "Even if the Iranian revolution succeeds, it will take at least a few months or even half a year. Therefore, it is impossible for oil to be re-exported within these few months, and there is still a lot of room for gold prices to rise." "One more thing, even if Iranian oil is re-exported, the consequences of inflation in the United States will be added fuel to the fire. The dollar will continue to depreciate, which is not so easy to reverse. Therefore, in the past two years, the price of gold has risen. !" After listening to Xia Yu, Wu Hongyi suddenly felt bright. He smiled and said with emotion: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years. I have been taught!" "I will arrange funds to invest in the gold market later." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and Feng Qingyun calmly picked up the tea. I didn''t tell Wu Hongyi before the revolution broke out because the old fox of the Wu family was there. The risk was too great and it was not worth Xia Yu. Even if he is a shareholder of Huashang Bank, it is not worth his risk. But now it''s different. Things happened. It''s okay to mention Wu Hongyi. Even if Wu Chengde is suspicious, it is useless. After all, there is no evidence and Xia Yu is not afraid. One more thing, Xia Yu is a shareholder after all. If he really doesn''t do anything, it would be too unkind. You still have to move when you need to move, and you should give it back! Besides, Huashang Bank makes money, isn''t it? PS: Ask for subscriptions and tickets, don''t waste it! Chapter 526: Treasure Pavilion with special rules "By the way, Xia Yu, take a look at your office, it''s already set up." After talking about buying gold, Wu Hongyi poured a cup of tea to relieve his mental fatigue. He suddenly thought of something and stood up and said to Xia Yu. "Oh? Then I have to take a good look." Xia Yu showed expectation, followed Wu Hongyi, came to the door of an office, opened the door, and saw the clean, spacious and bright office. "This office is so big, it seems that if I don''t come here often, I''m sorry for this office." Xia Yu went in and looked around, and said. Wu Hongyi smiled and said, "Because I don''t know your preferences, this office only has basic office supplies, and you have to arrange the rest." "No problem, I will decorate myself." Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a smile. "But I''m not very familiar with London, I want you to do me a favor." "What''s up? Just say it, as long as I can do it, no problem!" Wu Hongyi said with a big deal. "I just saw that you have a lot of antiques in your office. Did you accumulate them at home or buy them? If you bought them, I would like to buy some antiques to decorate them to make them look more atmospheric." Xia Yu asked. Wu Hongyi made a stunned expression and smiled: "You said those are not from my house, but I bought them myself. My grandfather keeps all the antiques in my house and we are not allowed to take them out." Xia Yu was surprised, but also smiled, and exclaimed: "You bought it yourself? Not bad. It seems that they are all genuine products. You can look at it!" Looking at Xia Yu''s thumb, Wu Hongyi waved his hand repeatedly and explained: "You are mistaken. I don''t know how to pick antiques. I bought them from a store. An acquaintance buys antiques there. There will never be fakes! And The price will not be expensive!" Hearing this explanation, Xia Yuqi suddenly wanted to go to the store and asked Wu Hongyi: "Hongyi, the store is still open now? Then I have to take a good look." "It''s still open. The store is called Zhenbaoge. It''s been a store for decades. Hua Lao has persisted for decades!" Speaking of this, Wu Hongyi suddenly looked solemn, as if he was talking about something he respected. Wu Hongyi''s performance was all seen by Xia Yu, his expression moved, and his heart became more and more curious about who made him so respected. As if seeing Xia Yu¡¯s curiosity, Wu Hongyi pursed his lips, and said solemnly to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, as long as they are Chinese who have been in London for a long time, they know the existence of Treasure Pavilion, and there are some in it. The story, I will tell you more when you meet it." "When do you have time? I will take you to the Jumbo Pavilion to buy some antiques. I will take you there. Hua Lao will not worry about taking out precious antiques. Although ordinary people can buy real antiques, they are only of average value. Really valuable antiques, Hua Lao only sells to people who can be recognized by him." Hearing what Wu Hongyi said, Xia Yu was even more curious. He said to Wu Hongyi: "I have time at any time, you can arrange it." Wu Hongyi thought for a while, looked at his watch, and found that it was only 3:15 in the afternoon, and said to Xia Yu: "Then I will arrange for someone to buy gold and set off in half an hour. Do you want to drink again? tea?" "Go ahead, I''ll look around and get familiar with the bank by the way." "Well then, I''ll pass first." "Ok!" Seeing Wu Hongyi leaving quickly, Xia Yu looked around in his office again, and then went to various departments of the bank to stroll around. Half an hour passed in a flash. Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu each took a car, led by Wu Hongyi, and drove in one direction. It didn''t take long for the car to reach Chinatown, then drove to a more remote place, and stopped in front of a shop that looked antique in appearance. After Xia Yu got out of the car and looked at the shop in front of him, there was a huge wooden plaque, and it was impossible to see what kind of wood it was. There were three large characters on the plaque saying a book on the treasure pavilion. Before entering the door, Xia Yu saw a lot of porcelain, jade, and wood carvings in the store, but the number seemed to be a lot, placed in pieces, Xia Yu couldn''t help frowning slightly. "Xia Yu, this is the room, let''s go in!" After Wu Hongyi finished speaking, he took Xia Yu into it. Entering the store, Xia Yu''s feelings are completely different. It seems that there is a thick and simple atmosphere in the store, coupled with the light sandalwood fragrance floating in the air, which makes people fall into tranquility unconsciously. "Master Wu, you are here, please sit down!" At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties came over with a smile on his face and greeted Wu Hongyi, looking at Xia Yu and others. "Xia Yu, this is Uncle De, his full name is Liu Houde, who is Hua Lao''s apprentice." "Uncle De, they are my friends, this is Xia Yu, this is Li Qian, this is Li Wuming..." "Hello Uncle De!" "Hello, hello, please sit down." After Xia Yu and others took their seats, Wu Hongyi asked Uncle De: "Uncle De, has Mrs. Hua gone out again?" "Yeah, the teacher just went out, but he was not going to collect things, so he will be back soon, and it will take a while!" "Let¡¯s have a cup of tea first!" As Uncle De explained, he picked up the purple clay pot to make tea. At this time, a middle-aged British couple came in from outside, seemingly curious, and looked around. "Uncle De, there are guests here, we can make tea ourselves, so go ahead!" Wu Hongyi said that he boiled water by himself. Uncle De nodded, and apologized to Xia Yu and others: "I''m sorry, please forgive me if the hospitality is not good!" "It''s all right, we can do it ourselves!" Xia Yu quickly laughed. Then, Uncle De walked over and introduced the British couple. After a cup of tea, Xia Yu couldn''t help being curious. He stood up and walked around the store, stopping to check the porcelain and wood carvings. After checking Xia Yu, Xia Yu was puzzled and returned to his seat. "Hongyi, that''s not right. These seem to be modern crafts. Although they are very realistic, they are not antiques!" Wu Hongyi smiled and nodded and explained: "Yes, these are modern crafts, which are mainly sold to foreigners. Of course, Chinese can also buy them. The price is very cheap, that is the price of the crafts." "The real antiques are on the second and third floors. There are stairs to go up to the back room. The second and third floors are only open to Chinese, and foreigners cannot enter!" Regarding this rule, Xia Yuqi asked, "What else is there to say?" Wu Hongyi pondered for a moment, and said with emotion: "This is the rule set by Hua Lao. She said that the devil is not worthy of collecting the cultural relics of my great country, but only worthy of admiring modern handicrafts." "And there are some potential rules in Hualao''s Jumbo Pavilion Antiques are not sold to foreigners, but only to Chinese who are recognized by him." Hearing Wu Hongyi''s words, Xia Yu showed respect and admired Hua Lao''s persistence and views. However, he still had some doubts in his heart, and asked: "What is the standard of the Chinese recognized by him?" "You can rest assured, you are absolutely qualified, and he is absolutely relieved to hand the antique to you." Wu Hongyi smiled. "this is¡­¡­" Just when Xia Yu was about to continue to ask, Wu Hongyi and Yu Guang found an old man in a Tang suit coming from outside the store. He immediately said, "Xia Yu, Hua Lao is back." Watching Wu Hongyi stand up, Xia Yu also stood up, looking around, and saw an old man with a tough body, red face and long white beard walking towards the shop. Seeing Wu Hongyi, the old man showed a happy smile. Chapter 527: Doubtful "Master Wu, you are here, so I don''t want to tell the old man in advance to keep you waiting." "Old Hua, I just arrived too." Hualao and Wu Hongyi exchanged greetings, and Xia Yu walked up to say hello politely: "Hello Hualao, I am a friend of Hongyi, my name is Xia Yu." "Hello, hello, welcome to you!" "You are all distinguished guests, go into the back room and sit down!" With that said, Mr. Hua took Xia Yu and the others into the back room. There really was a lot of space inside, a living room with a wooden staircase leading upstairs. "Old Hua, I have to say that you have an inexplicable force here. Every time I come to you, I can calm down." Wu Hongyi just sat down and said in admiration. Hua Lao smiled kindly and said: "Antiques contain a humanistic artistic conception. After experiencing the accumulation of history, each antique has its own aura. Often playing with it is conducive to self-cultivation. You might as well take a few more. Or come and sit when you have time." "I came here with this idea. Today I came with my friend to buy antiques from you." Wu Hongyi said with a smile, and then specially introduced Xia Yu to Hua Lao: "Xia Yu is the big boss from Xiangjiang, and his strength is stronger than our Wu family. Now he is the director of our Huashang Bank and plans to buy some antiques to decorate the office. " After Wu Hongyi''s introduction, Xia Yu smiled and nodded when seeing Mr. Hua looking at him, "Old Mr. Hua, I''m going to trouble you!" Hua Lao smiled, stroking his long beard and promised: "No trouble, it should be, I have to thank you for taking care of my business." "Or go upstairs now, you pick whatever you want!" "Then the feeling is good, you always please!" Come on, Hua Lao took everyone up the wooden stairs to the second floor. On the second floor, Xia Yu took a quick glance and found that there were a lot of rooms above, at least six or seven. Hua Lao opened the exquisite carved wooden door in the first room, and took Xia Yu and others in. As soon as I entered, I saw a grid of wooden cabinets on the surrounding walls, on which were placed various but very exquisite porcelains. Some large porcelain wares are placed on the bottom floor, or simply placed in the middle of the house, surrounded by wooden railings to prevent people from accidentally hitting or kicking them. At this time, I heard Hualao¡¯s gentle voice: ¡°This is a porcelain pavilion, and there are now 191 porcelains, including blue and white porcelain, blue and white Linglong porcelain, famille rose porcelain, thin porcelain porcelain, sculpture porcelain, colorful porcelain porcelain, etc. If you subdivide it further, they include blue and white, blue and white multicolored, and Dou Cai, etc. China''s five official kilns have porcelains, but the number is not large." Listening to Hua Lao''s words, Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with shock. He didn''t expect that there were so many porcelains in Zhenbao Pavilion, which was enough to open a small museum, but they were all placed in a small room for sale. And I didn¡¯t expect that there are porcelains from the five official kilns here. You know, there are only more than ten Ru kiln porcelains in the past, and there are also here! Xia Yu moved lightly, carefully observing pieces of exquisite antique porcelain. At this moment, his heart was ready to move, and he wanted to buy it all and take it for himself. But he still has a sense of reason, and if he is not sure about this idea, it is likely to make everyone''s face ugly. Let''s wait until we understand the situation clearly! Seeing Xia Yu admiring porcelain constantly, Hua Lao smiled and stroked his beard, quietly waiting for Xia Yu''s choice. There is a small card under each piece of porcelain with the basic information of the piece of porcelain. Of course, the price is not marked. After a while, Xia Yu stayed in front of a set of tea sets, a teapot and four bowls, and looked at the card. It was from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. "Old Hua, can I take a look at it?" Xia Yu looked up and asked. "Of course you can, but wear gloves!" Hua Lao nodded and said with a smile, and handed a pair of gloves to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it on, lightly held the teapot and placed it in front of his eyes to observe. The pot body is 18.8 cm in diameter and has a bright enamel color. The pot body is painted with flower and bird patterns, and there is a square seal on the bottom of the lake with the six characters of Ming Chenghuan written on it. Look at the cup with a lid. The body of the cup is a flower pattern, with a bottom and a lid, and the bottom is also printed. Of course, the seal is not necessarily true, and Xia Yu can''t tell it, but since Wu Hongyi said that the treasures of the treasure pavilion are all genuine, there should be no fakes. The more Xia Yu looked, the more he liked it. He gently put down the teacup and asked Mr. Hua, ¡°Old Mr. Hua, I am interested in this tea set. I don¡¯t know the price?¡± "Sell it to you for five thousand pounds, but you have to promise me one condition!" Hua Lao announced a low price that surprised Xia Yu. It was too cheap to buy a set of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain tea cups for ¡ê5,000. Of course, that unknown condition also made Xia Yu think that the important point was this, and he solemnly said, "Please tell me!" Old Hua had a very serious expression. He looked straight at Xia Yu, and said solemnly: "You can''t sell this tea set to foreigners. Even if you sell it to someone else, you must ask him to do so! This tea set can only Circulate in the hands of the Chinese!" Xia Yu was taken aback by Hua Lao''s request. He carefully looked at Hua Lao''s expression and felt that this was his true inner thoughts. Xia Yu''s heart was slightly shaken, and with an inexplicable feeling, he solemnly nodded and promised: "Old Hua, don''t worry, I will buy it for my own use, keep it for my own use, and keep it for future generations. I will not sell it! I don''t need it. This little money!" Hearing Xia Yu''s assurance, Old Hua smiled and nodded kindly: "That''s good." "But Mr. Hua, is five thousand pounds too cheap?" Xia Yu couldn''t help but said aloud. For this old man who gave him a special feeling, Xia Yu really couldn''t bear it. Besides, he did not lack this little money, and there was no need to make himself feel guilty. According to his estimation, if this tea set was put into future generations, it could sell for several million yuan, even if it was 1978, it would be too cheap. I never thought that when I heard Xia Yu¡¯s words, Old Hua shook his head and smiled, and said: "Mr. Xia, you were brought here by Young Master Wu. I am very relieved, so I sold it to you at this price. It¡¯s less than a thousand pounds and it¡¯s already very profitable. Of course, if the British come to buy it, let alone five thousand pounds, I won¡¯t sell it for one million pounds!" "Xia Yu, don''t think too much, it''s the price." Wu Hongyi, who was standing behind Old Hua, agreed, and blinked at Xia Yu, Xia Yu could only give up. Later Xia Yu bought another blue and white porcelain vase for only two thousand pounds. Xia Yu stopped at the Porcelain Pavilion. Now there are too many doubts in his heart. Although he wants to buy them, it is not appropriate. Let''s wait until the doubts in his heart are resolved. Then, Hua Lao took Xia Yu and left the porcelain pavilion. He went to the Mu Pavilion, Yu Pavilion, Shu Pavilion, and Painting Pavilion to see them. A set of blue and white porcelain, a blue and white porcelain vase, two paintings, a character, two huanghuali wood carvings and a red sandalwood wood carving, a total of eight, cost a total of 28,000 pounds, which is very cheap. Of course, for each item, Hua Lao made a request, asking Xia Yu not to sell it to foreigners, Xia Yu agreed. After all the antiques were packed, it was already past five o''clock. Xia Yu and the others left. Before leaving, Xia Yu looked deeply at the signboard of the Treasure Pavilion. In the car going back, Xia Yu was full of doubts. The huge amount of treasures, the weird attitude of Hua Lao, the cheap price, etc. all made Xia Yu puzzled. You must find Wu Hongyi to understand clearly before he can decide what to do next. Chapter 528: Investment with 0 times appreciation space "Okay, let it go here, tap it!" Back at Huashang Bank, Xia Yu took out the antiques one by one from the box and placed or hung them in a suitable position. After the placement, Xia Yu walked around the office casually, observed it several times, and smiled satisfied. "Xia Yu, with this arrangement of yours, the grade of the office is up immediately." Wu Hongyi also turned around and said with a smile. "Haha!" "Come, try the taste of the tea made from this Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain teapot." As Xia Yu said, he first ironed the teapot and teacup with boiling water several times, then took out a pot of Tieguanyin that Bao Yugang brought from Xiangjiang, scooped a small spoonful of the wooden teaspoon, poured it into the teapot, and started Make tea. Soon, the four tea cups were filled with crystal clear hot tea, and Xia Yu greeted Wu Hongyi, Li Qian and Li Wuming to drink tea together. For this kind of teacup, Li Qian used it for the first time. She picked it up carefully and gently blown out the heat, as she did in the costume TV series. She scratched the cup with the teacup lid and took a sip. "Xia Yu, drinking tea like this feels so interesting!" Li Qian blinked Shui Lingling''s big eyes and said in surprise. Seeing Li Qian''s unpretentious joy, Xia Yu was happy, and also picked up a cup of tea. "Good tea!" "Xia Yu, your tea is good. I didn''t expect you to have such a good tea! It tastes better than my grandfather''s hidden baby tea, not to mention my tea, it''s completely rotten water!" Wu Hongyi is also a person who understands tea. He took a sip before drinking, then sipped his mouth lightly, and said in admiration. Xia Yu smiled and said: "This tea was given to me by someone else. It was picked from the Tieguanyin tea tree of the generation of China. I heard that it was drunk by the leader of China. A friend of mine brought it back after visiting China last year. , He gave me two small cans, this can is for you!" With that, Xia Yu put the tea can in front of Wu Hongyi. "Really? The tea that the leader of the country drank? Tsk tsk!" Wu Hongyi widened his eyes, took another sip, and seemed to have more different flavors. "Really, I still have a can in my manor, so don''t be polite." Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t look like a lie, Wu Hongyi smiled, carefully picked up the tea can, and said happily, "Then I won''t be polite to you." "What are you polite with me." After a few sips of tea, Xia Yu asked, "Hongyi, what''s the matter with Zhenbao Pavilion? You have to tell me well." Wu Hongyi gently put down the tea cup and exhaled a breath of heat. He looked a little dazed, and said with emotion: "There are indeed some stories in this, let me tell you a lot." "At the beginning of this century, the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil. At that time, Hua¡¯s family was well-off. For special reasons, Hua¡¯s parents came to the UK to settle down with his parents. Hua¡¯s parents opened the Jumbo Pavilion by virtue of their craftsmanship. The craftsmanship is pure and beautiful, the porcelain made is beautiful, and is sought after by the British." "Hua Lao started his parents'' craftsmanship in elementary school. If there is no accident, he will carry forward the crafts industry, but accidents have occurred." "You also know that from the Tang and Song dynasties to the present, I don¡¯t know how many antiques have been distributed abroad, most of which are in Europe. When Hua was a child, he went to the British Museum in the UK and saw my Chinese cultural relics displayed in the UK. The museum feels that it has suffered a great humiliation. When I was young, I was determined to exhaust my life in this life to retrieve cultural relics from foreigners." "Hua Lao''s parents also supported his ambition very much, so he invited several masters to teach Hua Lao. Hua Lao is a quick learner, and very talented. He has studied all kinds of antique literary games, and then began to practice Taobao. " "Many aristocrats and rich people in the UK have antique collections in their homes, and many of them are from China. Some aristocrats will always buy them from poor families, or pick them up from some families in the country." "Although China¡¯s antiques are not valuable in the UK, the vintage is there, so it will not be a shabby price. The antiques from the homes of common people in the countryside can be purchased at extremely low prices, but the British aristocrats are not fools. They want to buy them from the nobles. It¡¯s impossible for the price of antiques to be the price of cabbage, which requires a lot of capital. "The crafts income from Jumbo Pavilion alone could not support Hua Lao¡¯s dream. Then he changed his mind and sold some of the antiques he bought to raise funds and then bought antiques from the British. But if the antiques sold return In the hands of the British, it would be contrary to his ambition, so he has a rule to sell antiques, not to foreigners, only to Chinese, and also requires buyers not to sell to foreigners!" "Of course, at the beginning, there must be someone who did not keep their promises. After Hualao found out, he summed up his experience. He cannot guarantee that everyone will keep their promises, but he can sell antiques as much as possible to Chinese who are more likely to keep their promises. Generally speaking, The more powerful the rich and the Chinese families will not sell their antiques unless they do so when the family is about to die. Therefore, Hua Lao welcomes every rich man and big family who really buys antiques and collects them. Good contact. Our Wu family bought hundreds of antiques from Hualao. My grandfather and Hualao are also old friends." "It is with this model that Hualao has been operating as a day for decades. After traveling all over the UK, he went to other European countries and tried every means to purchase antiques. This has accumulated the treasures of the treasures you and I have seen. ." "In the Chinese community, almost everyone has heard of Hualao''s reputation and admired his ambition. When some spare money wants to buy antiques, he will find Hualao. Anyway, until now, I have never heard of Hualao selling a fake. The goods are delivered to Chinese, and the selling price will not be too high." "On the contrary, it is for foreigners. Hualao sells handicrafts at high prices and never sells antiques. Foreigners do not understand my extensive and profound culture of China. Naturally, they only look at the surface superficially, but prefer bright and beautiful handicrafts." Wu Hongyi finished speaking in one breath, showing a complex color, and took a deep sip from his teacup. After listening to Wu Hongyi''s narration, the three of Xia Yu were shocked, shocked by Hua Lao''s great ambition and noble national integrity. This is a lovely and respectable old man. At this moment, Xia Yu had a sense of shame, ashamed of the idea of ??picking up bargain hunting that popped up in the afternoon. At this moment, Wu Hongyi sighed suddenly and said: "It''s a pity that Hua Lao has no successor, and his only son died unexpectedly. When he chatted with my grandfather last time, he was sad that he had no ambition to inherit after he left. ." Xia Yu was silent, suddenly he thought of Uncle De he saw this afternoon, frowning and asked: "Isn''t Uncle De in the shop this afternoon''s apprentice Hua Lao?" Wu Hongyi nodded and explained: "Uncle De is Hua Lao''s apprentice, but Hua Lao said that Uncle De has not learned his skills, and with Uncle De''s connections, he cannot inherit his career. He is not at ease." "We Chinese are also helping Hua Lao as much as possible, buying antiques when we have spare money, so that Hua Lao has more funds to buy antiques from the British." "But you also know that although antiques are valuable for collecting, they are more important now. My own business is not well managed. Where can I have enough spare money to collect antiques?" "If I have enough capital, I am absolutely willing to buy as much of Hua Lao''s collection as possible, but unfortunately I don''t have one!" Wu Hongyi sighed, and suddenly said to Xia Yu: "However, Xia Yu, we are not strong enough. If you have enough spare money, you can buy all of Hualao''s collection. He will never mind, but will appreciate you. " Based on Xia Yu''s performance this afternoon, Wu Hongyi also guessed a trace of Xia Yu''s thoughts, so he said this to Xia Yu. Wu Hongyi''s views shocked Xia Yu. But after thinking about it carefully, it also makes sense. After all, Hua Lao¡¯s ambition is to buy as many antiques as possible from the British. If Xia Yu buys all of them and guarantees not to sell to foreigners, it will be in line with Hua Lao¡¯s. rule. At this moment, the shame in Xia Yu''s heart was wiped out, and even more thoughts emerged. After all, he knows what the future strength of Huaxia will be, even though it is now looked down upon by European and American countries because of Huaxia, he even thinks that Huaxia cultural relics have no investment value. I believe that not only capitalists in European and American countries, but also Chinese people have similar views. No one would have imagined that in just a few decades, China would grow from the world¡¯s 70 or 80 economies to the world¡¯s second largest economy. worldwide. In later generations, I don¡¯t know how many European and American families put out Chinese cultural relics for auction one by one, and many of them sold for sky-high prices! Therefore, it is not a problem to collect antiques now, a hundredfold in value after a few decades! Definitely an excellent investment direction! It''s just that people in this era can''t think of it. If they knew that Huaxia''s antiques could appreciate dozens or hundreds of times, they would still say they had no money? Maybe you don''t need the foundation, and they all fall into the antique. Saying that there is no money, after all, it means that you don¡¯t realize the value of collecting antiques But others don¡¯t realize the value of antiques. Would Xia Yu who came from later generations know? After listening to Wu Hongyi''s account of Hua Lao''s deeds, Xia Yu''s heart was shaken, and a wave of pride emerged in his chest. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Since he has this strength, and investing in antiques is a project that he has considered for a long time without losing money, there is no reason not to find a way to buy back more antique cultural relics from European and American countries. Moreover, China''s cultural logistics fell to Europe and the United States. In addition to the trade reasons between the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, a big reason is that European and American robbers robbed China from the hands of China in the late Qing Dynasty and placed them in museums for viewing. It is the shame of every Huaxia people! It is difficult to retrieve the antique cultural relics in the museum, but the Chinese cultural relics that have been lost in Europe and the United States must be retrieved as much as possible. Now is the best time. Otherwise, after the rise of China, the price of Chinese cultural relics will be increased. Unlimited heightening! So Mr. Hua¡¯s favor, he helped! ps: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! Chapter 529: 100 million pounds with a vertical finger After making up his mind, Xia Yu didn''t yell to the outside world. He prefers to prove with actions rather than speaking with his mouth. So in the following days, Xia Yu would go to the Zhenbao Pavilion only when he was free, because Xia Yu was brought here by Wu Hongyi, and he said that he was strong, and Hua Lao had a more enthusiastic attitude towards Xia Yu. Every time Xia Yu went to the Treasure Pavilion, he would buy a few antiques and go home. During the chat, Xia Yu also silently revealed that he wanted to collect antique collections and accumulate a comeback family for future generations. And Xia Yu also said that if possible, he would like to build a top-notch private museum in Xiangjiang, so that overseas Chinese can understand the colorful culture of China for five thousand years. Xia Yu found that after his thoughts were spoken out, Hua Lao was more friendly to him. Since then, each time he comes, Hua Lao is very warm and entertaining, and the two can talk about antiques for a long time. Of course, the two chatting, mainly Xia Yu asked, Hua Shengshi said that when it comes to rising, Hua Shengshi will take Xia Yu upstairs and bring out specific antiques to explain. Xia Yu always listens very carefully. However, Huashengshi is so old and fine, and Xia Yu did not hide it, so Huashengshi also saw some of Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts, but he kept a close eye on both people and things, so even though he and Xia Yu had a feeling of meeting each other late. , And Wu Hongyi also talked about the identity of Xia Yu. But when it comes to the thought in his heart, Huashengshi dare not make up his mind easily, worrying about being entrusted. Of course, he was not inactive, secretly using Xiangjiang''s friends to help him understand Xia Yu''s relevant information, what others said, after all, he did not have a reliable understanding of it. Ancient celebrity calligraphy and painting are not only liked by rich people, but also by cultural people. Over the past few decades, Huashengshi has also made many Xiangjiang friends, but most of them are literati, such as university teachers or professors. Fearing that it was not clear on the phone, Huashengshi asked several friends of Xiangjiang to give them time to understand the relevant information clearly, the more detailed the better, and then mail it to him as soon as possible. On the day of January 10, 1979, Huashengshi finally received emails from several friends. That afternoon, Hua Shengshi opened a friend''s parcel in the inner hall of Zhenbao Pavilion, which contained a thick pile of mail. After making a pot of tea, Hua Shengshi watched it slowly. He devoted himself to this, and I didn''t know the time passed. When Hua Shengshi raised his head in shock, it had been more than two hours. It seemed that he was shocked by the information of Xia Yu. Huasheng Shi was silent for a long time before returning to his senses. He said with emotion: "There is such a genius in the world. I thought he was a rich child of Xiangjiang. He is a grassroots man from scratch!" "Furthermore, the rising land is too fantastic. Although there are traces to follow, ordinary people can''t replicate it at all. Is he God''s son?" Thinking of several old friends at the end of the letter, they stated that what they knew was not comprehensive. It was Xia Yu¡¯s public strength. Xia Yu¡¯s real strength was definitely more than that. No one in Xiangjiang could figure it out, so he told Hua. Prosperity should be treated seriously. It''s fine for a person to say so, and several old friends reminded it like this, Hua Shengshi naturally attaches great importance to it. After learning about Xia Yu''s information, Hua Shengshi completely believed in Xia Yu''s words, knowing that what he said to him before was not just talking, and the logic made sense. Xia Yu rises from the grassroots. If you want to build a family, you must have a foundation. The wealthy families in ancient times inherited their families with knowledge, and there is absolutely no shortage of cultural relics. Today''s wealthy families have their own heritage, and the most representative of the heritage is undoubtedly antiques and gold. Both of them are the heritage of the same family. Xia Yu wants to build a family, and strengthen the future family''s resistance to the risk of decline, and accumulate capital for a comeback. Collecting antiques is undoubtedly the right choice. And Xia Yu¡¯s antiques will never be sold easily. With Xia Yu¡¯s current strength, there is no need to worry about selling them for at least a few decades. As for what Xia Yu said about building a top private museum in Xiangjiang, in Huashengshi''s view, it is entirely possible with Xia Yu''s strength. ... In the evening, in Xia Yu''s country manor, Xia Yu held Li Qian and watched the news of the BBC. Seeing the boring part, I randomly pressed the remote control to switch channels, but didn''t find which program I wanted to watch. Xia Yu simply gave the remote control to Li Qian, talked to Li Qian, and went to take a bath. Due to martial arts reasons, Xia Yu''s physique is very good, whether it is winter or summer, he washes in cold water. At this time, the cold water washes down from the top of his head, and the traces of fatigue from a busy day are instantly eliminated. "Count the time, it should be here today." After taking a shower, Xia Yu remembered about Antique again. Xiangjiang is his site. Ma Qianjun took the money, and the intelligence network he built immediately covered Xia Yu''s industry, and then he expanded abroad. Hua Shengshi asked a few old friends from Xiangjiang to help him collect Xia Yu''s news. Those old friends were all teachers or professors. Naturally, they had to ask others to collect information. In this way, the news was revealed, and it was naturally known to the net for the first time. After investigating and analyzing, Ma Qianjun finally knew the reason and called Xia Yu the first time. Knowing that Hua Shengshi was inquiring about him, Xia Yu was not only not angry, but in a happy mood, because he knew that Hua Shengshi had an idea in his heart, otherwise he would not secretly make great efforts to understand his information. Xia Yu is confident that as long as Hua Shengshi understands his strength, and then he proposes it, it will not appear abrupt. The day before yesterday, Luo Wang''s people monitored that Hua Shengshi''s friend sent the mail, and Xia Yu knew it immediately. Counting the time now, it''s time for today. Xia Yu knew that the right opportunity had finally come! In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yu came to Zhenbao Pavilion again. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Huasheng Shi who was in the store immediately greeted Xia Yu with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are here, please come inside!" "Old Hua, good afternoon!" Under deliberate observation, Xia Yu found that Hua Shengshi''s attitude was indeed different. He was determined and said with a smile on his face. Then, Huashengshi asked Uncle De to see the store, and Xia Yu entered the inner hall to make tea and chat. This time, Xia Yu went straight to the subject, put down the tea cup, and solemnly said: "Old Hua, I am coming this time and plan to buy a large number of antiques. You also know that I have a manor in the suburbs of London. I don¡¯t like Western style. I think It takes a lot of antiques to redecorate." Hua Shengshi smiled and said: "No problem, you can pick whatever you want, and we will give you the cheapest price." "Then I won''t be polite to you!" Xia Yu said. "I have to thank you for taking care of my business!" Hua Shengshi shook his head and said politely. "Are you going to pick it now?" "No, wait a minute, don''t worry, I have something else I want to discuss with you." Xia Yu narrowed his smile and looked solemn. When Hua Shengshi saw this, he knew that it was a major event, so he looked upright and made a please gesture: "Please speak!" "When I was in Hong Kong, I didn''t find a suitable opportunity. When I met you in London this time, I knew the opportunity was here." "Didn¡¯t I tell you all the time? I plan to buy a dozen antiques. A few thousand pieces are not too few, and tens of thousands are not too many. If there are less, I will collect it by myself, and if I have more, I will build a top private museum. ." "But I can''t tell the authenticity of antiques, so I plan to ask your old guard to help me purchase them. The funds are not a problem. I want as much as you can purchase!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the Huasheng Shishi''s eyes were bright and he looked at Xia Yu vigorously, and said eagerly: "Mr. Xia, are you serious?" Xia Yu nodded without hesitation, raised an index finger, and said in a straightforward voice: "I never tell lies. If I don''t have much else, I have more money. Is 100 million pounds enough to buy antiques? If not, add another one. Billion!" "Hiss~" Seeing Xia Yufeng lightly uttering this number, Huashengshi''s heart was shaken, and he couldn''t help taking a breath, looking at Xia Yu in amazement. Seeing Hua Shengshi''s reaction, Xia Yu secretly smiled in his heart, knowing that he was restrained. However, what Xia Yu said was from his heart, and he really did not miss the money. Today is January 11, 1979. It has been half a month since the Iranian Revolution broke out. The whole world has accepted this result, and it seems that the situation cannot be calmed down in a short time. So international capital rushed into the gold market frantically. In just half a month, the price of gold in London has broken the US$300 per ounce mark, and Xia Yu¡¯s floating profit has reached more than US$1 billion. According to the current exchange rate, it is 800 million pounds! Will make more money later! Buying antiques for one or two billion pounds is a trivial matter! And if it is really possible to buy so many, Xia Yu is too happy to buy antiques worth one or two billion pounds, and after a few decades, it will be worth more than ten billion pounds! As long as Huashengshi has the ability to acquire, he will want it all! Huashengshi Niu poured a cup of tea like a peony to calm himself down. Xia Yu smiled and waited quietly to taste tea. For a long time, Hua Shengshi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, do you know that the total of all the antiques in my Jumbo Pavilion now, there are 1,462 pieces. I calculated the cost, and the price of these antiques was only 1 million pounds. about!" Hearing this, Xia Yu''s eyes widened, and he didn''t expect it to be so cheap! At this time, Hua Shengshi continued: "Of course there is a reason for being so cheap, because I don''t have money, so I usually pick it up from the homes of ordinary people in Britain, or buy from the homes of fallen aristocrats. This is still accumulated over decades. ," "If I want to buy from the now powerful nobles, even if they are willing to sell, how can it cost five or six million pounds." Hearing this explanation, Xia Yu nodded suddenly. "So if you really give me 100 million pounds to buy antiques, according to my previous practice, it will be a question of whether it can be spent!" Hua Shengshi said with a wry smile and shook his head, still feeling deeply in his heart. Sure enough, he was the top tycoon from Xiangjiang, and my old friends were right. Xia Yu''s strength was definitely more than just the surface. But isn''t this right? The stronger Xia Yu''s strength and the more willing to invest in antiques, the more antiques he can get back from foreigners! Thinking of this, Huashengshi suddenly felt that the blood that had been silent for decades was boiling again. It was a kind of excitement of meeting a confidant after a long drought. He no longer hesitated, stood up, bowed heavily to Xia Yu, looked at Xia Yu scorchingly, and solemnly said: "Mr. Xia, I know you are helping me, the whole treasure pavilion. I can give you free, I only have one condition, no, it''s a request!" When Hua Sheng Shi bowed, Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to help Hua Sheng Shi. Hearing his words and seeing the expectation, pleading and determination in his eyes, Xia Yu was very moved and took a deep breath. Said: "You always speak!" "I hope that in my lifetime, you can support me as much as possible without affecting your career, and let me buy cultural relics belonging to China for you, and not sell them to foreigners." "This is a request from an ordinary descendant of Yan and Huang who live abroad! Please!" With that said, Hua Shengshi insisted on bowing to Xia Yu. Hua Shengshi¡¯s actions shocked Xia Yu. Xia Yu hurriedly supported him with moist eyes and solemnly said: "Old Hua, you don¡¯t have to be like this. This is what I did. You have worked hard for decades. If you work hard, if you are willing to sell, I will buy it at the market price with you!" "No, I have been alive in the past few years, and I have no descendants, and it is useless if I ask for money. Although Ade is my apprentice, but he is not good at learning art, I don''t worry about entrusting Zhenbaoge to him." "Although I have known you for a short time, but I am old and my eyes are bright. You have the heart and the ability to collect antiques. The Jumbo Pavilion is the best choice for you. In the future, you will bring you back to Xiangjiang. It is better than staying in the UK. , At least that is the place of the motherland, so that these cultural relics returned to the embrace of the mother." "If you really build a museum in the future, I hope they can have the privilege of putting it in for my descendants of Yan and Huang to see and appreciate my profound and profound Chinese culture! Then I will die!" Hua Shengshi said outrageously, and his words were sonorous and powerful. Xia Yu took a deep breath and said, "Since you always say this, I am not hypocritical. I will definitely build a museum, but I hope you can build it by yourself. I will support you unconditionally!" "I have enough land in Xiangjiang. I also have a real estate company to build museums and purchase antiques. I also support you infinitely!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Hua Shengshi trembled with excitement, and the old tearful but smiled and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, thank you...thank you!" "You don''t get excited, sit down first and take a sip of tea slowly." Hua Shengshi¡¯s true feelings touched Xia Yu, but he was also worried that if he passed out excitedly or had an accident, it would be bad, so he hurriedly let Hua Shengshi sit down and fill him with a cup of tea. "Good..." Hua Shengshi smiled and nodded and said The hand holding the teacup was still trembling. When Hua Shengshi calmed down, Xia Yu said, "Old Hua, I can take out the money at any time. When do you plan to start?" Hua Shengshi was a little excited, but this time he was more sensible. Although he couldn¡¯t wait to do it right away, he thought about it and said, ¡°Mr. Xia, I have a few friends who are helping me purchase. If I want to build a museum, I also have friends. At Hong Kong Chinese University, I happen to be a professor at the School of Architecture. Can you ask them to help?" Xia Yu promised: "Of course it¡¯s okay. Welcome, the more people, the better. I also hope that the museum will be established as soon as possible. In short, it will be based on your old opinions. I am only responsible for contributing money, and I can only do this. Up." Hua Shengshi smiled and said hello again and again. After that, Xia Yu chatted with Hua Shengshi for a long time, until it was dark, Hua Shengshi reluctantly sent Xia Yu out, until Xia Yu''s car was far away, he still stood in place and watched.

Chapter 530: An important step for the king of world media The next day, Xia Yu came to his Guangming Fund Co., Ltd. in the City of London and saw a busy scene. In the respectful appellation of the employees, Xia Yu found George Berkeley. On the contrary, Liu Xiao and others have already left, because George Berkeley has mobilized his contacts to recruit people for the Bright Fund. The framework of various departments has been established, and some departments have even begun to operate. Therefore, Liu Xiao and others naturally withdrew and continued to study London''s financial markets. "Boss, you are here, please sit down!" George Berkeley bowed slightly and said to Xia Yu. "Sit down too!" After letting George Berkeley sit down, Xia Yu asked: "How is the business intelligence you collected?" "Boss, the information from the big newspapers has been collected, and the small newspapers are still being collected for the time being. Rolls-Royce is involved in national defense and it is difficult to collect, and it is still being collected." A flash of memory flashed in George Berkeley''s eyes, and he said. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said one after another: "I see, just give me the information from the big newspapers I have collected." "Okay! Please wait a moment!" After speaking, George Berkeley got up and left. After a minute or so, he returned again, with a stack of documents in his hand. "Boss, it''s all here, please take a look!" Xia Yu took the file and scanned it carefully. The British newspaper industry is very developed. The oldest newspaper can be traced back hundreds of years. Over the years, British people have become accustomed to reading newspapers. Britain is also known as the world''s media kingdom. Therefore, in the Internet era in the future, when the newspaper industry in many countries fell sharply, although the British newspaper industry has declined due to the environmental impact, it can still operate. The British newspaper industry is well developed, so there are naturally many large newspapers. For example, "The Times" was born on New Year''s Day in 1785, Britain''s largest major newspaper, known as "the faithful recorder of British society", and is a newspaper that exerts a huge influence on politics, economy, and culture all over the world. "The Times" is positioned as a mainstream high-end, and readers are self-positioned as politicians and social elites. Of course, ordinary people like to watch it. If Xia Yu remembers correctly, in 1981, Rupert Murdoch¡¯s News Corporation bought The Times for ¡ê22 million. In addition to the "Times", there is also the "Guardian" which is positioned as a liberal democrat. Its readers are mostly young people and have a great influence in the European intellectual circles. The middle class also likes it. The characteristic of the Guardian is love Live and love peace. The only "Independent" that did not publicly support a party. The most high-end in the UK, "Financial Times" has a great say in British politics and British society, and CSG Wang in financial news. The Daily Telegraph, once the leader of the British newspaper industry, has a national daily circulation of about 1.6 million copies. Its readers are the broad middle class, and its characteristic is that it does not have a clear political stand. Mainly focusing on serious lines, the readers are middle-class, biased towards women, and the Daily Mail has the largest proportion of female readers. The articles are short and concise, and the text is easy to understand. The "Daily Express" is suitable for ordinary people and small intellectuals. Readers are mostly the backbone of society. The "Daily Mirror", a famous gossip newspaper focusing on entertainment, gossip, sports, and scandals, basically does not involve politics, but likes to tease politicians and criticize party policies. And "The Sun", which is based on readers of the middle and lower classes, is notorious in the upper class, but has extremely high sales. It is worth mentioning that according to the information, "The Sun" was acquired by Rupert Murdoch in 1969. Of course, Rupert Murdoch now knows the truth similar to ¡°building a wall, accumulating food, and slowly becoming king¡±, so even though he has become a media tycoon in Australia at this time, he is also in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, etc. The country has media, but he has not established a well-known news group in the future. The only thing floating on the surface at this time was News Australia Limited. The above-mentioned newspapers are all major national newspapers in the UK, with sales ranging from 700,000 to several million copies. In this world, the right to speak is an extremely important right, and those in power from ancient times to the present know that this is the power that can influence the political power. Xia Yu came to London with a lot of thoughts and goals in his mind, but he, as a Chinese, wants to enter other people''s circles upright and make politicians and capitalists value him, so he needs something to make others value. And because his calculations relied heavily on British politics, he chose to start from the media industry after consideration. As long as he holds a certain right to speak, several political parties in the midst of fierce confrontation will reach out to him, hoping that it will help. Of course, the premise is that he needs to have enough power to speak. Fortunately, because the United Kingdom once colonized the world and British descendants spread all over the world, compared with the United States, the British media industry does not have many restrictions on the outside. Rupert Murdoch is an Australian citizen, and the United Kingdom is the monarchy of Australia, so Rupert Murdoch is eligible to buy the "Sun" and even later the largest newspaper "The Times", and the largest in Europe Sky TV. Xiangjiang was also a British colony at this time. Xia Yu was registered as a Hong Kong citizen. He was of course a British citizen. He was also eligible to buy newspapers. British law could not restrict Xia Yu. There is demand, qualifications, and capital. Of course, Xia Yu must carefully choose the acquisition target. After reading all the materials, Xia Yu thought for a long time and took out two materials from them, namely the "Financial Times" and the "Daily Telegraph"! These two copies are the most suitable newspapers for him to acquire! "Financial Times" is Yan Wenhan¡¯s old home. It was founded in 1888. It is the best in the UK and a world-renowned business and financial newspaper. At this time, the total daily global sales volume is more than 1.3 million copies, and 70% of its sales are from abroad. Contribution, in later generations, the "Financial Times" changed hands to Nikkei News Corporation at a price of 844 million pounds. Although in later generations, due to the "Financial Times" actively embracing the Internet, readers have almost shifted to electronic subscriptions. Paper subscriptions are less and the daily circulation is only hundreds of thousands. However, its electronic subscription readers have six to seven hundred Million. But in this year and month, before the Internet appeared, the daily circulation of the Financial Times was still more than one million copies. At this time, the "Financial Times" Group belonged to Pearson Education Group, and Pearson Group held 71% of its shares. And the "Financial Times" Group holds 50% of the shares of "The Economist" company. The Economist is the owner of the Economist, one of the world''s four largest financial magazines. So as long as Xia Yu acquired the Financial Times, he could also purchase The Economist magazine. Xia Yu could instantly build the largest financial news company in the UK and become the uncrowned king of financial news, with great influence Think about it. By then, Xiangjiang will have "Jiuding Daily" and "Economics" weekly magazines, and the UK will have "Financial Times" and "The Economist" magazines. Once integrated, a large regional media empire will be established. excitement Of course, the acquisition of "Financial Times" is also very difficult. After all, its parent company is Pearson Education Group, the hegemon of British cultural media and education industry, and one of the hegemons of world cultural media and education industry. But thanks to the overall economic environment in the UK today, Pearson Education Group¡¯s business conditions are not very good at this time, and Pearson Education Group is mainly rooted in the education industry. Xia Yu believes that as long as the price is appropriate, Pearson Education Group I will still be willing to sell the Financial Times. After all, Pearson Education Group is the stepmother of the "Financial Times", and it has only been more than ten years since it was acquired. It is not impossible for an eccentric stepmother to sell a non-natural son to raise a son. Compared with the "Financial Times", the acquisition of the "Daily Telegraph" is even less difficult. At this time, the daily circulation of the "Daily Telegraph" was about 1.6 million copies, and it was only distributed in the UK. The newspaper''s political stance was not clear and it was very valuable for acquisition. The "Daily Telegraph" has changed owners several times. At this time, everyone is Canadian Black, who was just bought by Black four years ago. Black¡¯s purpose in buying the Daily Telegraph is obvious, to be profitable. So Xia Yu believes that he can also hit him with money. For the time being, Xia Yu intends to acquire these two newspapers, first lay the foundation, and then break hands with Rupert Murdoch to **** the title of the world''s media king. "The Times" stay in the future, the acquisition is too difficult at this time! After the decision, Xia Yu threw these two materials to George Berkeley, and ordered: "George, do your best to acquire these two newspapers, and then buy the Economist magazine." As he said, Xia Yu paused, looked at him scorchingly, and said in a loud voice: "I don''t care what method you use, I just want the result, and I allow you to buy it at double the premium!" George Berkeley was taken aback and his expression became extremely serious. He felt the boss''s determination, and even said that he would allow the purchase to double the premium. But if he really buys it at double the premium, although the boss may not say anything, it will appear his incompetence! This is the first time the boss has given him a task, and he must show his abilities. Therefore, George Berkeley is under great pressure! But he was not afraid, instead, there was a wave of pride in his chest. Wouldn''t it be better for the boss to have such ambitions? In this way, he can show his talents! George Berkeley nodded heavily and promised: "Boss rest assured, promise to complete the task!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said again: "If you have any difficulties, you must tell me as soon as possible and look forward to your good news!" "Yes!" George Berkeley responded loudly. After that, he left with the information and went to formulate the acquisition plan. PS: Seek full booking and tickets! Chapter 531: Interesting people interesting things All morning, Xia Yu devoted himself to work, while Li Qian silently gave Xia Yu a hand, and read a book when nothing happened. Thinking of being busy all this time, I didn''t relax at all, so after eating at noon, Xia Yu proposed to take Li Qian to stroll along the Thames and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Thames. It coincides with the fine snow drifting in the sky today, and admiring the scenery in the snowy sky may not be a unique pleasure. Anyway, when Xia Yu proposed to take a stroll in the snow to admire the scenery, Li Qian''s face flushed with joy. Considering that Xiangjiang is located in the tropics, Li Qian estimated that she had never gone out to admire the scenery on a snowy day before, so this reaction is normal. On both sides of the Thames, there are the statue of Admiral Nelson, a symbol of victory, Westminster Abbey, where many great British men are buried, St. Paul¡¯s Cathedral in Renaissance style, the Tower of London, which has witnessed the dark period in British history, and the bridge deck Tower Bridge, London''s iconic building, Elizabeth Tower, which can take off and land, is Big Ben. The estuary of the Thames is generally full of busy merchant ships, but the upper reaches of the river are famous for their static beauty. Therefore, Xia Yu and Li Qian negotiated and decided to start walking from the upper reaches to better appreciate the scenery along the coast. Along the way, Li Wuming and others separated a little distance from Xia Yu and Li Qian, and the car was hanging slowly behind them. Xia Yu and Li Qian walked hand in hand on the banks of the Thames. When they encountered a place that was fun and beautiful, the two stopped. This freewheeling state, coupled with Li Qian''s silver bell-like laughter, made Xia Yu feel very relaxed. At this moment, when the two came out of Westminster Abbey, they found that a temporary stage with a roof had been erected on the spacious Parliament Square outside. A group of people surrounded the stage. The man is playing the piano. Li Qian, who was holding Xia Yu, became curious. She blinked her eyes and begged: "Xia Yu, there seems to be a piano performance. Let''s go and take a look." "Listen to you, let''s go!" Xia Yu said softly, and then walked with her in Li Qian''s joy. After only ten seconds of listening, Xia Yu realized that the piano on the stage was a good one, but the young man¡¯s piano skills were not at home and his playing was mediocre. He secretly shook his head. After seeing Li Qian listening curiously, Xia Yu also observed with a relaxed mood. Soon, the young man on the stage finished playing, and the sparse applause was remembered. The young man walked off the stage with a frustrated face, and then the host went up to talk. After listening to the host''s explanation, Xia Yu knew what he was doing here. It turned out that a nearby piano store was engaged in activities to promote the latest Steinway piano, which was placed on the top and was played by anyone. The rules of the event are somewhat interesting. The piano shop is also very generous. Anyone can volunteer to perform on the latest top piano. A decibel meter is hung in the middle of the stage. The audience circle in the bureau is about five meters. After the performance, the audience can applaud the performers spontaneously. As long as the decibel meter measures over ninety decibels of palm sound, you are eligible to take this piano. Of course, there is only one piano. If there are several people whose applause exceeds 90 decibels, the person with the highest score will win. Unless the first place is given up, it will automatically be given to the second person. After five meters, the applause will reach 90 decibels. This is too difficult. After all, there are too many factors. Maybe when A performs better, there are more audiences, and the applause is naturally louder, but when it''s B''s turn, there are fewer audiences. Even if the performance is equally good, the applause is not so loud. But sometimes, isn¡¯t luck also part of strength? Those with confidence and strength can seize luck and go up for a long time! Without strength, no matter how many audiences and poor performances, there is no possibility of 666! "Oh no, what happened, no one has come up for two minutes, ladies and gentlemen, are you not brave enough to come up and try? Play a song for your beloved her (him), and show your infinite love." The host held a microphone and said, looking at a location faintly. Xia Yu unexpectedly discovered that he was looking at his location nearby. Xia Yu''s observation power was amazing. He also scanned the surroundings just now, so he quickly turned his attention to the five or six handsome men and women next door. Just listen to a very handsome young blond man speaking to one of the most beautiful, tall and wavy white women: "Elena, you are the piano princess of Oxford University, if you go up I am sure that I will receive the warmest applause for playing a piece." "Yeah, Elena, I also want to hear you play music that belongs only to heaven." Another young boy was also expecting to speak, a fascination flashing in his eyes. Among the three boys in their group, none of them disliked Elena, but it was a pity that Elena''s identity was amazing, and it was destined that they could only work hard to show themselves and win Elena''s favor. Not only do they like Elena, it can be said that Oxford University, people who like Elena can line up from the gate to the dormitory. Today, they finally asked Elena and other girls out in the name of a club gathering, so naturally they had to take the opportunity. However, they are all members of the piano club. They all think that their piano skills are inferior to Elena. Although they are ready to move, they hold the gentleman''s frame and kindly invite Elena to go up. Elena smiled slightly and shook her head slightly, the meaning was obvious. At this moment, a beautiful girl next to Elena looked at one of the blond boys vaguely. Although she was very jealous, she did not show it. Instead, she encouraged: "Three handsome gentlemen, you don¡¯t like beauty. Princess Elena? Hurry up and seize the opportunity Yo!" Hearing her girlfriend''s words, Elena''s face changed slightly, she glanced at her girlfriend angrily, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Martha, what are you doing?" My girlfriend Martha was dissatisfied, but quickly said with a smile: "Elena, I don''t say that, they probably don''t have the courage to go up." Martha''s sudden utterance was not only surprised by Elena, but also by other boys, but one exception was the blond young man who had just started talking. When the other two did not react, he put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Elena, and said, "Elena, I have a song that I want to play for you. Please give me some advice. " After finishing speaking, before Elena could speak, she strode towards the stage under the shocked eyes of the other two boys. "Oh~, a handsome young gentleman has come up, let us look forward to his performance." "This gentleman, can you introduce yourself?" The host asked. "of course!" "I am Anthony, a student of Oxford University. I am out to play with my friends today. It is an honor to participate in your event." Anthony said politely, behaving very decently, so that the audience below cheered up. Seeing this gesture, it seemed to be from a noble family. "So what gives you the courage to make you play on stage?" The host asked curiously. "It is the most beautiful goddess in my mind that gives me endless courage. Today I have a song that I have prepared for several years and want to play for her." "Wow¡­¡­" Anthony said with a faint smile, looking in Elena''s direction, and the eyes of the others followed his eyes. Suddenly, the two boys who came with Anthony clenched their fists, and Elena, who stood out from the crowd, had a smile on her face because of her education problems, but Xia Yu, who was close by, saw her calmness and even anger in her eyes. color. Of course, there is also the best friend named Martha next to Elena, who seems to have a different attitude. Although the cover is very good , she still can''t escape Xia Yu''s eyes. "Interesting, I tried my best..." Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a smile, muttering to himself. Xia Yu could see that the host and Elena¡¯s best friend were all with Anthony on the stage. This activity was probably done deliberately. He was still wondering why this piano dealer did so. Ben, it turned out to be the reason. However, for this girl named Elena, it is acceptable for such a mechanism to be exhausted. Because even with Xia Yu¡¯s eyes, I still feel amazing after seeing Elena. Her black hair and very fair skin are rarely seen in the UK, and she exudes an elegant temperament. Xia Yu The word Snow White also came to mind. Looking at Elena''s temperament, it was definitely cultivated by the noble family. At this moment, the host on the stage stopped beeping, and the blond Anthony sat on the piano stool and began to brew his emotions. The surrounding audience suddenly became quiet. . The fastest URL for mobile version update: m. Chapter 532: People who step on people will always step on them (2 "Humhhhhhhh..." "It''s the song "Blue Love"!" Just as Golden Retriever Anthony pressed the keys to play, Elena''s best friend Martha said softly, with a hint of envy in her tone. If Anthony was played for her, that would be great... Elena was unmoved. She was deeply influenced by her father. Her father, Sir Carter Howard, was a person who did not like to be bound by rules and advocated freedom, which was another of the British nobles. Of course, because her fatherhood is high enough, even if it is very different, other nobles are not easy to talk openly. Because of her father''s influence, Elena has similar ideas, so she doesn''t like being forced. But on the current occasion, there is a hint of coercion, and Elena''s impression of Anthony is even worse. Originally, she knew the essence of Anthony as a **** at an unexpected moment, so she was very resistant to Anthony''s pursuit, but due to etiquette and education, she did not show it. Now that this matter came out, Elena once again sentenced him to death. Of course, considering that Anthony is a classmate and a member of the piano club, Elena did not sweep her face to leave, but waited quietly again. The blue love piano music was adapted by Paul Moli¨¨re and released in 1967, and then became one of the most popular love piano music in the world. Xia Yu can also play this piano piece, and he is quite accomplished. At this time, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head secretly when he heard Golden Retriever Anthony''s performance. Although ordinary people sounded very good, and ordinary professional pianists could not find the problem, Xia Yu had many memories of old drivers. Examining Anthony''s performance under the high roof, many problems can also be found. The performance is not good, and Xia Yu is not interested in the interesting and complicated relationship between Anthony and others. Xia Yu felt a little boring, so he looked around. It may be that everyone likes beautiful things, so subconsciously, Xia Yu''s eyes were placed on Elena again. Xia Yu smiled and looked at Elena. Women''s sixth sense is very strong, especially for beautiful women. Feeling that someone was looking at herself, Elena turned her head along with the feeling, and happened to meet Xia Yu''s gaze. When she saw that a foreign boy looked at herself with admiration, and smiled kindly at herself when she was discovered by herself, Elena no longer struggled and she smiled politely to Xia Yu. When Elena turned her head and stopped looking at herself, Xia Yu also looked away and placed it on the stage, shrugging her shoulders in a daze, seeming to laugh at herself when she was peeking. However, this scene was seen by a third person by coincidence. It was Anthony who was performing on stage. He happened to look at Elena affectionately when he was playing, but he saw that Elena was chatting with Xia Yu. ", immediately made him very upset. You know, Elena never smiled at him a few times! Anthony took a deep look at Xia Yu, but saw Xia Yu look at him, shrugged at him, and smiled mockingly. This immediately made his heart angry, but because he was still performing, he could only reduce the fire pressure. Xia Yu didn''t know all of this, and if he knew it, he would definitely be wronged. Xia Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Li Qian next to him, only to see that she was listening with her head tilted, but her expression was a bit strange, her brows wrinkled slightly and her face was tangled. Just when Xia Yu wanted to ask her what was wrong, Anthony''s performance just ended, and he stood up and bowed to the crowd. Suddenly, enthusiastic applause sounded, and Anthony raised his chin slightly, seeming to enjoy this moment of applause. When he saw that the decibel meter in front of the table reached ninety-one decibels, he smiled even more, and looked affectionately at Elena, who looked directly in other directions. Soon, the host exclaimed and announced the result, the scene became more lively, and Anthony strode towards Elena with honor. "Cici, what happened to you just now?" Xia Yu asked Li Qian. Li Qian smiled sweetly, and said: "I think he is not good at playing, or you play the piano the best. After I go back, play it to me, OK? I haven''t heard you play the piano for a long time, just listen to that one. The wedding of your dreams!" At the end, Li Qian thought of what happened at the time, and two attractive blushes appeared on her pretty face. Xia Yu immediately became happy, scratching Li Qian''s Qiong nose, and said lovingly: "You know that my husband plays the piano the best, and I will play it for you when I go back!" Unexpectedly, the fat uncle who was standing in front of Xia Yu, who was applauding, could understand Chinese. He turned around and said to Xia Yu with his somewhat thick voice: "Hi, boy, you think you play better than the previous one. Your husband is better, and you can go up there. The husband just now is so brave, you can prove to your girlfriend with your strength, come on!" With that said, the fat uncle squeezed his eyes at Xia Yu profusely and made a gesture of cheering. Uncle Fatty''s enthusiastic attitude made Xia Yu startled, and he couldn''t laugh or cry. But Uncle Fatty was a kind word after all, Xia Yu also politely replied in English: "No, the current atmosphere is not suitable, I''ll go home and play." The fat uncle looked at Anthony, Elena and others who had already walked to the side, and he nodded regretfully. It may be that the fat uncle said too loudly, and it happened to be heard by Anthony. He glanced at Xia Yu and Li Qian, and was shocked by Li Qian''s figure. He couldn''t help but look twice. Xia Yu frowned, took a step to block Anthony''s sight, and glanced at him sternly, which immediately made Anthony unhappy. Thinking of what happened just now, he was very annoyed and wanted to clean up Xia Yu. But in the end, the goddess Elena is more important, so Anthony withdrew his gaze and began to show her courtesy to Elena. "Cici, let''s go." Seeing Anthony no longer look at it, Xia Yu said to Li Qian. "Ok!" Li Qian nodded obediently, and after taking Xia Yu''s hand for two steps, she heard Anthony stepping on Xia Yu''s foot when she was blowing herself in Elena''s ears. "...Elena, did you know those two people just now?" "I don''t know? Okay, I thought you knew, what kind of piano master is it? Just now I heard him say that he is better than me. How could this be possible? Hehe, it looks like an Asian. How can Asians appreciate piano... " Hearing this, Li Qian suddenly became unhappy. Anthony was not as good as Xia Yu, but now he stepped on Xia Yu for no reason. How can this be tolerated! Although she has a very gentle personality, people who are gentle enough also have Ni Lin, and Li Qian''s Ni Lin is Xia Yu. She stopped and said to Anthony in English: "You really don''t play well. My boyfriend plays ten times better than you!" Li Qian''s somewhat annoyed voice made Xia Yu stunned. She turned her head to look at Li Qian''s annoyed look. She couldn''t help frowning and looked at Anthony who was a little embarrassed. Elena glanced at the embarrassed Anthony with a slight disgust. She was found out by someone else''s girlfriend when she said bad things behind her back. Her character is too bad! Seeing Elena¡¯s eyes, Anthony was anxious. Seeing Xia Yu, he remembered Xia Yu¡¯s mockery of him just now, and his "feast" with Elena. He didn¡¯t care about the noble courtesy anymore, and was anxious Elena said, "Elena, listen to me. They talked about me behind their backs first. They are bragging. They look younger than me and are an Asian with a deserted music. How could it be possible!" "Anthony Bahrain, please calm down, have you forgotten etiquette? We should not discriminate against others." Elena frowned slightly and reminded him by her name. "I am sorry for the actions of my companions, and ask for your forgiveness!" Elena said apologetically to Xia Yu and Li Qian. "It''s ok!" Elena''s apology surprised Xia Yu. He took a high look at Elena, and said in his heart a very polite girl, and then said with a smile. Then, Xia Yu looked at Li Qian, and saw her pouting her mouth and looking at herself entangledly, as if she was embarrassed for her own good ideas. Xia Yu was very moved, and tightened Li Qian''s little hand. When Li Qian was puzzled, he gently said, "Wait for me!" After speaking, Xia Yu scanned the surrounding circle and found that everyone''s eyes were on the circle between them and Elena and Anthony. Xia Yu first smiled at Elena, and then the smile narrowed, and said to Anthony with a cold face: "My girlfriend is right, you are really ordinary." Then, when Anthony was about to explode, Xia Yu strode out of the crowd and walked towards the stage in Elena''s somewhat surprised gaze. "Wow!" "interesting¡­¡­" Xia Yu''s actions caught everyone''s attention, and the crowd suddenly exclaimed, especially Xia Yu''s yellow skin that surprised everyone. And the fat uncle, one of the culprits, had just witnessed the development of the whole process. At this moment, he held his head in his hands, seeming to be unbelievable for the twists and turns caused by his words. "Oh Karma, I really didn''t mean it..." The fat uncle looked at Xia Yu''s back and muttered to himself. "However, this is weird, isn''t it..." The fat uncle shrugged, shook his head and said, then cast his eyes on the stage. Xia Yu¡¯s sudden onstage also made the host at a loss. He hesitated and wanted to come forward, but saw Xia Yu shook his head at him, and then sat straight on the piano stool, with his fingers lightly placed on the keys. Go up, close your eyes and brew emotions. Upon seeing this, the host could only leave in a slanderous manner. The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Xia Yu''s performance. "Hey..." I don''t know when, Xia Yu''s finger suddenly pressed down, and then began to play along the rhythm. There are thin white snowflakes falling in the sky, and Xia Yu''s soft and sweet piano sounds seem to have a unique artistic conception. This piece is very unfamiliar. No one at the scene has listened to it, even Elena, who has practiced piano since childhood, but at this time she has unknowingly immersed her mind in the mood created by Xia Yu. Music knows no borders. Everyone has the ability to appreciate beauty, especially before Xia Yu¡¯s affectionate performance of this classic piano music, everyone was immersed in it, and many women unknowingly folded their hands on their chests. The whole person swayed gently with the rhythm. Seeing this scene, Li Qian¡¯s eyes were full of pride. She looked fondly at Xia Yu playing on stage, as if the light of the whole world was shining on Xia Yu, which attracted her heart and made her fascinated. . Before he knew it, Xia Yu stood up, bowed to the audience, and stepped off the stage freely and effortlessly after finishing a song. "Snapped!" "Flap!" "Papa..." There was a single sound, then a few scattered sounds, and then everyone recovered, and there was a burst of applause resounding across the sky. Everyone gave their applause excitedly, and the fat uncle kept exclaiming "Oh Ma Karma" with an unbelievable look, and both hands were red. "Oh, God, one hundred decibels! He succeeded, incredible!" "Big brother, what you play is really good!" At this time, a little boy ran down the stage, and when he saw the number on the decibel meter, he exclaimed, and immediately the applause became even more enthusiastic. Xia Yu smiled and nodded at everyone as he walked. As he walked towards Li Qian, the person who stood in front of him took the initiative to separate a path, and Xia Yu nodded and thanked him softly. When passing in front of Anthony, whose expression was extremely different, Xia Yu didn''t squint and ignored him, which made Anthony extremely angry after being astonished. He was slapped in the face by a kid from Asia and then nakedly ignored! And all this happened in front of the goddess Elena! Since childhood, how did he receive such treatment! The anger drove him to his head, as if he wanted to violent, he was held back by his companion. Elena looked at Anthony, who was mad at him, and her impression of him was a little worse. Then she looked at Xia Yu unexpectedly, with a beautiful arc in the corner of her mouth. "Cici, let''s go!" Xia Yu took Li Qian''s hand, looked at her gently and said. "Ok!" Li Qian nodded her small head happily and held Xia Yu''s hand tightly. Seeing Xia Yu walking directly outside, it seemed that he didn''t even want the prize, and many people were surprised. Elena was also surprised. She remembered the beautiful song that touched her heartstrings, and realized that she didn''t even know the name of the song. Therefore, she suddenly shouted to Xia Yu''s back: "Mr. Mysterious Asia, can you tell me the name of this beautiful piece?" Xia Yu paused, looked back at Elena, and said with a sunny smile: "DreamWed (dream wedding)." After speaking, Xia Yu nodded to Elena, turned his head again, and took Li Qian away amidst the warm applause. "DreamWed?" "It is indeed as dreamy as a wedding in a dream..." "It''s just... why haven''t I heard this song? Is it just released?" Elena stood still thinking subconsciously raised her head, but saw Xia Yu and Li Qian holding hands and walking away. "Happy girl..." Elena murmured, there was a trace of envy in her eyes, but she had never noticed it. "Shuit!%@*%¡­¡­" Xia Yu''s pretence was extremely dazzling to Anthony, and Elena''s reaction also made him very jealous, and he was completely disregarding his image and swearing when his mentality collapsed. The other two boys who stopped him looked at each other, and both saw schadenfreude in each other''s eyes. Make you want to grab the goddess, get slapped, deserve it! Thank you boy from Asia! Chapter 533: Invitation from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce What happened in the afternoon, Xia Yu did not take it to heart, and continued to play with Li Qian in a good mood. That night, a series of indescribable things happened between Li Qian and Xia Yu, who were emotionally erupted. Xia Yu stopped until Li Qian was soft and soft. The next day, Xia Yu went to the Guangming Fund for a round of inspections, and then went to the Galaxy Fund to learn about the relevant work. The subordinates of the two major companies were very capable and did not need Xia Yu to worry about. For this reason, Xia Yu could only go to the Huashang Bank to radiate his own light and heat. As soon as he saw Xia Yu''s arrival, Wu Hongyi smiled and looked up and down Xia Yu, as if he wanted to know Xia Yu again. Xia Yu was very surprised. He looked at himself and found nothing unusual. Xia Yu asked suspiciously, "Hongyi, what is your expression? Is there anything strange about me?" Wu Hongyi tweeted, and said admiringly: "It''s no surprise, I just admire you too much. I know what happened to Mr. Hua. I can''t think of it. How long has passed since? You really asked Mr. Hua to help you. I''ve eaten the entire Treasure Pavilion, you have it!" Upon hearing this, Xia Yu shrugged and smiled: "It just happens that I plan to collect enough antiques in large quantities, but unfortunately I don''t know the goods. It just happens that the ambition of the old man in China coincides with my plan, so!" "I didn''t expect you to know so soon, I was planning to tell you!" "Haha, Treasure Pavilion no longer sells antiques to the outside world. It hasn''t changed for decades. Now suddenly the situation has changed drastically. There are more people who are curious. But Hua Lao only said that it was bought by someone, and did not say who it was. But when I asked him, he told me. I told you that I was confused when I heard the news." Wu Hongyi sighed with emotion, and was surprised by Xia Yu''s big hand. He is indeed a person known as the "stock god". Only when he has the financial market as an ATM can he spend money as he wants. "Haha..." Xia Yu smiled and chatted with Wu Hongyi again. "By the way, Xia Yu, you asked me to buy gold before. It was really too accurate. Today''s gold price has reached 328.5 US dollars an ounce. I just calculated before you came. The bank''s floating profit has reached 35.43 million US dollars. Amazing!" Wu Hongyi said suddenly excitedly. Because he believed in Xia Yu''s analysis, he invested all the free funds above the bank''s safety line into the London gold market. Since the price of gold has soared, he does not know how many times he has been fortunate. If it operates normally, the profit earned in a year will not be much more than it is now. "Hongyi, how can this be, don''t be happy so early, there will be a rise in the future!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and he didn''t feel much happy because of the profit of more than 30 million US dollars. Only a floating profit of more than 30 million U.S. dollars, he has only 15% of the equity, even if all the profits are given to shareholders as dividends, it will only be distributed to several million U.S. dollars. Putting millions of dollars on his floating profit is not enough, how can he touch his heartstrings? Of course, this matter does not need to be told to Wu Hongyi. "Is there any increase?" "Xia Yu, what do you think is the upper limit of the gold price?" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wu Hongyi lifted his spirits and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu said casually: "I have analyzed it specifically, it is too high and I am not sure, it is still possible to rise to seven or eight hundred dollars an ounce in about a year!" "Seven or eight hundred dollars an ounce?!" "hiss¡­¡­" Hearing this number, Wu Hongyi exclaimed and took a deep breath, then condensed his eyebrows into thinking, his mouth still chattering. Xia Yu smiled when he saw it, and didn''t care what he was thinking, but made tea by himself. Xia Yu is very clear about the current international gold price situation. The gold bull market started in 1968 and will continue until January 21, 1980, from 35 US dollars an ounce to 850 US dollars an ounce. The crazy gold price has put unparalleled pressure on the US dollar and also exerted tremendous pressure on the United States. pressure. In the end, U.S. President Carter had to stand up clearly to suppress the price of gold, saying that he would safeguard the position of the United States in the world at all costs, so that the international gold price fell from US$850 to US$800 an ounce at the close of the day. It fell to more than six hundred dollars an ounce. The 12-year golden bull market, the crazy period lasted from December 1978 to January 1980. Of course, this process can be divided into two time periods. The first period was from the end of December 1978 to March 4, 1979. The price of gold rose the most fiercely, from 244 US dollars to 500 US dollars an ounce in more than three months, with an average monthly increase of about 80 US dollars. The second stage was from March 5, 1979 to January 21, 1980. The price of gold rose from US$500 to US$850 an ounce, with an average monthly increase of more than US$30. Xia Yu initially planned to raise all the funds after March 1979, and then use a small part of the funds to speculate in gold with a leverage of tens or even a hundred times, while other funds will be used for investment or acquisition, etc. . There is no need to use only five times the small leverage like today. Now that he has abundant funds, he doesn''t need to be as counseled as he is now. Holding a huge amount of liquidity, at least self-insurance is not exceeded, what if the use of large leverage is discovered? Can''t hold his lifeblood! From then on, the sea is wide and the fish leap, and the sky is high and the birds fly! Use capital to acquire other super potential companies that can also appreciate dozens or even hundreds of times! The income is not worse than gold speculation! Grab both hands together, both hands are as hard! While Xia Yu was drinking tea on his own, Wu Hongyi didn¡¯t know what he thought of, so he hurried to his desk, took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote something. After writing for about ten minutes, he stopped writing contentedly and carefully. Stored in a drawer. After putting it away, Wu Hongyi took out a very delicate invitation from another drawer, went to the tea table, and handed it to Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, half a month after UU read , the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce will hold a year-end reception. This is an invitation, please accept it!" Xia Yu raised his brows, took the invitation, opened it, and read it. The above is the normal content of the invitation. The place was set at the Marriott Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, on January 25, 1979. Xia Yu solemnly closed the invitation, nodded and said, "I will be there by then!" After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu asked Wu Hongyi: "Who will lead the organization of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and who is the president?" Wu Hongyi smiled: "Usually our Wu family is responsible for the organization, and the chairman is my grandfather, but my grandfather has been in poor health, so he gradually delegated the power to the council." This answer made Xia Yu''s glasses shine and exclaimed: "I didn''t expect it to be your Wu family. As expected, your Wu family''s strength is the strongest among the Chinese." Wu Hongyi smiled modestly. Xia Yu stopped struggling with this point, and asked, "Hongyi, what important people will usually be there?" Chapter 534: British boy who admires Li Xiao? "It''s mainly the powerful Chinese in the entire UK. If the strength is insufficient, the local Chinese business chapters will organize the reception." "In addition, according to the usual situation, there will be some politicians present. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce also needs to use this occasion to show its strength to the outside world, so that it can be beneficial to future development." Wu Hongyi told in detail. Xia Yu nodded in understanding. He knew the truth. He showed muscles to certain people. When there is enough value, others will take the initiative to communicate. There will be little political resistance. He can even use power and wealth to trade. The career inflates like a balloon. Xia Yu learned about the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce with Wu Hongyi before leaving. Having nothing to do, Xia Yu intends to go out and walk around to pass the time. Of course, it would be great if he could find the above opportunities. Of course, because Li Qian was tossed by Xia Yu last night, she simply stayed in the manor today and did not come out with Xia Yu. So in the morning, Xia Yu can only hang out by himself, while Li Wuming and others are scattered around Xia Yu to protect Xia Yu''s safety under unobtrusive circumstances. Wandering aimlessly on the streets of London, I don''t know when I started, and the flow of people around has decreased a lot. At this moment, an accident happened. In a small alley to the right of Xia Yu, two sturdy men suddenly jumped out and grabbed an unsuspecting boy who was walking five meters in front of Xia Yu. The black-haired boy was surprised at first, then struggled frantically, exclaiming for help. This sudden scene surprised Xia Yu, but he instinctively rushed forward, and Li Wuming and the others immediately rushed out after seeing this. Xia Yu kicked a sturdy man on the back, and the sturdy man was kicked to the ground without any defense. Seeing this, his fellow robber suddenly became vigilant and drew a knife from his arms. But there were also their accomplices in the alley, and three big men came out again. The boy who was surprised to see Xia Yu suddenly appeared suddenly paled when he saw the bright knife. At this time, the sturdy man who was kicked by Xia Yu quickly stood up with reluctance and punched Xia Yu. Xia Yu often fought against Li Wuming, Yan Shining and others, so he had certain fighting experience, coupled with certain achievements in martial arts training, and full of confidence. Therefore, facing the attack of the sturdy man, he was in danger. "Boom boom!" Xia Yu dodged, then punched and kicked, quickly attacked the sturdy man three times, and kicked him down again. At this time, the other three also rushed over. The remaining robber took the knife and put it on the boy''s neck, and kept retreating into the alley. But at this time Li Wuming and others also arrived. Li Wuming took out a steel ball and hit it out, and then only heard the robber who threatened the boy with a knife cry out, and the knife fell directly. At this time, Li Wuming rushed forward, grabbing the robber''s wrist and breaking it directly. "Click..." "what¡­¡­" A sound of broken bones matched the robber''s scream. Then Li Wuming took this opportunity to rescue the boy and threw a tiger into a flock of robbers. Several other bodyguards quickly surrounded Xia Yu''s side. "Boom boom..." It was completely Li Wuming''s performance that followed. In less than ten seconds, all five sturdy men were knocked to the ground and couldn''t get up. They hugged the injured parts on the ground and wailed. "Wow, Chinese Kung Fu!" At this time, Li Wuming returned to Xia Yu with no expression on his face. The British boy he rescued also returned to his country. I don¡¯t know if he should say he has a big heart. Although his face was pale at this time, he still exclaimed. , The robbers on the ground and Li Wuming and others switched back and forth. Especially when looking at Li Wuming, his eyes are full of admiration. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, and looked at the British boy rescued in front of him. Judging from his appearance, he is also more than ten years old. He has black curly hair. He is wearing very expensive clothes all over his body. He is wearing a Swiss watch inlaid with precious stones. He exudes a unique temperament. It is the child of a rich family. At this moment, the black-haired British boy looked at Li Wuming with scorching eyes and asked in English: "Hello sir, do you use Chinese Kungfu?" Li Wuming looked cold and did not answer the black-haired boy. Upon seeing this, the black-haired boy was very disappointed. He looked at Xia Yu again and said, "Sir, thank you for your help. Did you use Chinese Kungfu just now? Bruce Lee''s kind? Do you know him?" Xia Yu suddenly became happy. "Hi boy, shouldn''t you care about your safety now? Do you need to call the police?" The black-haired boy was a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly ruddy. He scanned for a week and found that there were many people around, and said to Xia Yu: "I think someone should call the police now." "If I didn''t get rid of my bodyguard, I wouldn''t be in danger." The black-haired boy murmured, his tone seemed a little regretful. "Oh by the way, sir, you haven''t told me whether you know Chinese Kung Fu, I really like Bruce Lee, his Kung Fu is super!" "Ah hit!" The black-haired boy said with his eyes braving the stars, and fiddled with Bruce Lee''s classic moves, shouting in Chinese with an obvious London accent. Xia Yu smiled and replied: "The Bruce Lee you mentioned and I come from the same place. We use a kind of Chinese Kung Fu, which is different from Bruce Lee''s." "Wow, it turned out to be Huaxia Kungfu. No wonder it''s so powerful. It can be solved so quickly by one person playing five, and I still can''t get up now!" When the black-haired boy heard Xia Yu''s words, he was immediately excited. He looked at the five robbers on the ground who were still struggling to get up, but struggling with the mission of acupuncture but couldn''t get up. Then he looked at them with admiration. Li Wuming. "Sir, can I learn Chinese Kungfu from you? You will be my teacher and I will give you a salary of 1,000 pounds a week. If it is not enough, I can add it!" The black-haired boy looked straight at Li Wuming with a look of expectation in his eyes. Li Wuming glanced at the black-haired boy and then retracted his gaze, still observing the surroundings with a cold face. Seeing that the black-haired boy was still thinking about digging into his own corner, Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry, but he was not angry. After all, he was just a child, and he didn''t know much about human relationships, and he seemed to be a rich boy, thinking that money could solve the problem. "Okay, boy, are you going home quickly? Or are you waiting for the police to come and solve the problem?" Xia Yu interrupted the black-haired boy''s questioning and spoke. "I¡­¡­" Just when the black-haired boy wanted to answer, it was a sweet female voice. "Henry, who made you sneak away, do you know how worried your sister is!" Xia Yu followed his reputation, and was immediately surprised that he turned out to be an "acquaintance". It was Elena who had seen it before. Unexpectedly, this black-haired boy turned out to be Elena''s younger brother, which is interesting. Chapter 535: Elena Howard I saw today¡¯s Elena wearing a pure white down jacket, a fluffy white earmuffs on her head, a pair of black pants on her lower body, and a pair of boots about to reach her knees. At first glance, Xia Yu gave Xia Yu an amazing feeling, pure and elegant, not beautiful. Xia Yu swept his eyes and saw four big men in black behind Elena, each with a cold expression, especially when the four bodyguards saw the five big men lying on the ground and howling, they looked at Xia Yu''s side and Li Wuming and others People''s gaze suddenly became serious. "Gosh, Henry, what happened here? Why is your face so white?" Although Elena recognized Xia Yu, her face suddenly changed when she saw five elders lying on the ground, she hurried over to grab her brother Henry''s hand, looked at him, and asked anxiously. The black-haired British boy Henry was very ashamed and his eyes flushed and said: "Sister, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t sneak away on purpose. They wanted to catch me and put a knife on my neck. They wanted to kill me, I almost I won''t see you anymore." When Elena heard this, she asked anxiously: "Then if you are hurt, tell my sister." And the four black-clothed bodyguards beside Elena also heard Henry''s words, their expressions changed, and then two of them immediately came to the five big men who fell on the ground to check the situation, and even worried, they gave them a few more. After hitting hard, I asked. "Sister, I was not injured, these gentlemen saved me!" The black-haired boy Henry struggled a few times and said, looking at Xia Yu and others. She said that she was ashamed, her expression became a little excited, and she said to her sister Elena: "Sister, let me tell you that these gentlemen are capable of Chinese Kungfu, especially this gentleman, who will take five robbers in a few seconds. I''m defeated, and I haven''t gotten up yet. It''s amazing!" "I want to ask him to be my teacher and teach me Chinese Kungfu!" "That way, if I encounter danger in the future, I can knock down all the enemies, ah... fight!" With that said, Henry also waved his fists excitedly, as if he had foreseen the scene of sweeping invincibility. Elena breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her brother say it was okay, and when she heard him talking excitedly, Elena rolled her eyes silently, and Xia Yu''s eyes brightened by her playful look. Then Elena smiled gratefully at Xia Yu: "This gentleman, we have met again, and sincerely thank you for saving my brother." "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Elena Howard. This is my brother Henry. He is young and ignorant. If you say something wrong, please don''t take it seriously." "Sister, I''m not young anymore, don''t treat me as a child, okay?" Hearing what his sister Elena said about himself, Henry, the black-haired boy, became unhappy, frowned and said to his sister solemnly, but was greeted by her sister''s ignorance, and he was extremely depressed. Xia Yu smiled and said, "No thanks, I believe that anyone who sees your brother is in danger will choose to come forward." "Also, I am glad to meet you. My name is Xia Yu. I have to say that your name fits your temperament." "Of course, please don''t blame your brother, he is much better than ordinary children, lively and straightforward." "Thank you!" Xia Yu''s words made Elena and Henry both smile, especially the black-haired boy Henry, who also shrugged at his sister Elena, seeming to want to express some emotions to her sister. The name Elena, the English name is Elena, is the English name for women. The English prototype is Helen (º£Â×). Helen refers to the elegant woman of the upper class, with black eyes and black hair, and is the star and focus of the dinner. But Elina is a metamorphosis word, generally referring to elegant and noble women, such as queen and princess. So Xia Yu said that Elena is as the name suggests, so Elena has a good sense of Xia Yu. Especially thinking of Xia Yu''s shocking performance before, thinking of the piano piece that she kept thinking about but could not find, Elena suddenly had an urge to ask about that piece. But after all, she was more mature and stable than her brother, and knew what was more important now, so she suppressed the thoughts in her heart. After a while, the police came and saw that both Xia Yu and Elena had bodyguards, they realized that the trouble was big, especially when Elena¡¯s bodyguard showed something to a policeman, the leader The police officer''s complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately notified nearby police officers to come along and report to their boss. After waiting for a while, a large number of police officers came over. After seeing Elena, a person who was obviously the leader of the police became very respectful. After that, a group of people went to a nearby police station to make a record and were sent out respectfully. When they left, the chief of the police station solemnly assured Elena that he would find out the truth as soon as possible. "Mr. Xia Yu..." Just out of the police station, Elena spoke to Xia Yu, but as soon as she said a few words, Xia Yu interrupted softly and smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m younger than you. If you don¡¯t mind, call me Xia Yu. Yu can." "Well, you saved my brother, who is our friend and my friend." "Xia Yu, you call my name Elena." "Okay, Elena, what did you just want to say?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Elena quietly. Elena blinked her bright beautiful eyes and said apologetically: "Xia Yu, I should have thanked you for saving my brother, but now I must bring my brother back to Norfolk immediately. My father is very worried." "So, can you tell me your contact information?" "Yes, Xia Yu, why not go to my house? I must thank you for saving me." The black-haired boy Henry also followed. Although he was speaking to Xia Yu, his eyes always subconsciously looked at Li Wuming, who was expressionless next to him. Obviously, he must still be thinking about learning Chinese Kungfu from Li Wuming. "Thank you, I still have a lot of things in London, so I don''t have time to go to Norfolk for the time being. Thank you for your invitation." "I work for a company in the City of London called Bright Fund, located at 67 Kenny Avenue in the City of London. The phone number is..." "Of course, you can also find me at the Chinese Commercial Bank at 105 Andhra Avenue in the Financial City." After Xia Yu refused the invitation of the boy Henry, he smiled and said to Elena. "I remember." "Goodbye my friend!" "Goodbye!" After that, Elena pulled the reluctant Henry into the car and left here, Xia Yu kept watching their car go away. Not knowing what was thinking, Xia Yu suddenly shook his head and smiled. "Go, it''s late, let''s go back!" After that, Xia Yu also took Li Wuming and others home. Xia Yu didn''t tell Li Qian what happened today, lest she worry. Chapter 536: Duke of Norfolk The next day, Xia Yu first went to Jumbo Pavilion and gave Hualao a bank card worth five million pounds. After Hualao took it, he happily went to buy antiques. Xia Yu returned to Huashang Bank. After busying for a while, he suddenly asked Wu Hongyi: "Hongyi, let me ask you something. Do you know anything about British noble families?" Although Wu Hongyi wondered why Xia Yu suddenly asked this question, he didn''t ask it either. He nodded and said, "I still know it, but it is mostly superficial information, and the deeper information is not well understood." Xia Yu must have heard this, and asked: "Then do you know the Howard family?" Wu Hongyi frowned, thought for a while, and asked Xia Yu: "I know there are four Howard families. I don''t know which one you are talking about. Is there any other information?" "By the way, it should be the Howard family in Norfolk!" Xia Yu thought about it for a moment and prompted. "Norfolk?!" Wu Hongyi was taken aback, blurted out, looked at Xia Yu up and down, and asked nervously, "Xia Yu, did you have any conflicts with them?" Wu Hongyi''s strange performance surprised Xia Yu, and he secretly said that Elena''s brother and sister were of extraordinary origin. He chuckled and said: "There is no conflict, that is, I know someone. I hurriedly didn''t ask more yesterday, so I came to ask you." Wu Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief immediately: "That''s good, otherwise there will be trouble." Then, he began to explain: "In Norfolk, there is only one famous Howard family, and it is also the most prominent in the entire British Howard surname. A large part of Norfolk is the fief of the Howard family, and the Howard family is hereditary. The Duke of Norfolk, in addition to the earl." "The current Duke of Norfolk is Carter Howard, who has a very important position in the entire British aristocracy, and the family strength far exceeds our Wu family." "Of course, I also heard my grandfather say that this Duke Carter Howard is an alternative among the British aristocracy. The romantic style is obvious. Originally, the dukedom was not his turn. It should be his brother, but he resisted the pressure. Married the daughter of a commoner." "It''s just that Carter Howard''s brother died unexpectedly later, and the Howard family had to let Carter Howard inherit the duchy title. At that time, the entire British aristocracy was dumbfounded and regretted not marrying Carter Howard." "By the way, I also heard that Duke Carter Howard has a close relationship with the Conservative Party." "That''s all I know, but I''ll find out for you when I go back, and I''ll tell you when the time comes!" "Then trouble you!" Xia Yu said gratefully. It''s just that his heart was shaking secretly, he didn''t expect Elena to be the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk. Although he guessed that Elena had an unusual background and must be from a British noble family, he did not expect it to come from the top duke family. The Duke¡¯s daughter can be called a princess. After all, her father Carter Howard is a Duke. According to the level of the ancient family in Europe, it is at the same level as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. The difference is that the United Kingdom has a queen, so the Duke of Britain cannot hold power. However, according to ancient European traditions, when the United Kingdom splits again, Carter Howard is fully qualified to establish a duchy and can be recognized by other European countries. Of course, it is too difficult to expect Britain to disintegrate again, even if Scotland holds referendums again and again, it has never succeeded. ... Three days later, while Xia Yu was staying at home, he received a call from George Berkeley, saying that a group of people had come from the company. The two headed by them were a girl named Elena and a little boy named Henry. Outside is a group of bodyguards. Knowing that Elena was here, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to entertain them, and then he called Li Wuming and others to leave. Because Li Qian happened to have relatives here yesterday, she did not follow her to recuperate at home. The car was speeding along the way. About twenty minutes later, Xia Yu rushed to the Guangming Fund and saw the two brothers and sisters of Elena in the living room. When Xia Yu appeared, George Berkeley nodded with Xia Yu, and then left silently. "Xia Yu, good morning!" "Elena, nice to see you again!" "Hi, Xia Yu, and me. Although my sister is super beautiful, you can''t ignore the handsome me." "Henry..." Elena heard her brother start to get muddled again, she reluctantly increased her volume and called his brother''s name. For this younger brother who is a little too lively, and can even be said to have a stubborn physique, she is often helpless. This is also the reason why she rarely takes her out of the house, because her brother will always do something unnecessary for her. For example, the sneak away a few days ago. However, because Xia Yu was Henry''s lifesaver, her father Carter Howard could only agree with Henry''s plea, and she brought him out again, thanking Xia Yu. "Henry, your sister is very beautiful, you are also very handsome, how could I ignore you, long time no see!" Xia Yu said to Henry with a smile, and solemnly stretched out his hand to Henry. Henry straightened his chest suddenly and shook hands with Xia Yu. He looked like a small adult. He was very satisfied with Xia Yu''s treatment and seemed to have a sense of accomplishment. Xia Yu suddenly became secretive about what a strange thing Elena''s brother was like, his sense of existence and self-feeling seemed a bit strong, and he did not seem to be an heir cultivated by a duke family. However, thinking of Wu Hongyi''s introduction that Sir Carter Howard was an alternative when he was young, and his son was cultivated in some special logic, which also makes sense. Seeing Xia Yu''s interaction with her younger brother, Elena felt helpless, but also a little bit funny. After the greeting, Elena said to Xia Yu with a faint smile on her face: "Xia Yu, I don''t know if you are free at noon or evening. We want to invite you to dinner. I don''t know if I have this honor." Xia Yu smiled and looked at Elena''s eyes and said, "This is my honor. I''m free at any time." Seeing Xia Yu''s promise, Elena smiled like a flower, but she was happy for a while, and a black line appeared on her forehead, because her brother had spoken again. "Look at my sister, I said, no man will refuse your invitation, you have to have confidence in your charm." "Xia Yu, let me tell you, you are the first boy to invite my sister, are you very excited!" With that said, Henry winked at Xia Yu, walked to Xia Yu''s side, and leaned in Xia Yu''s ear and whispered, "If you want to thank me, let your bodyguard teach me Chinese Kungfu, how about ? Next time I can ask my sister out for you." Hearing Henry''s words Xia Yu was immediately happy, and it was indeed a wonderful work. In order to learn kung fu, she was ready to sell her sister. Moreover, it seems too familiar. Xia Yu glanced at Elena subconsciously, but saw her pretty face flushed and her eyes fluctuated. "Henry, I think we should have a good talk when we get home." Elena''s words fell in Henry''s ears, and Henry''s expression suddenly stiffened, and then he returned to Elena''s side in a shameless manner. Xia Yu smiled, and Feng Qingyun lightly exposed this somewhat embarrassing matter. After that, I took Elena''s sister and brother to visit the company. After learning about it, Elena''s sister and brother were very surprised that Xia Yu opened a financial company in the UK at a young age. Elena couldn''t help but look at Xia Yu who was talking about it. After staying at the company for about half an hour, Xia Yu followed Elena to the predetermined location. Chapter 537: Show off Xia Yu didn''t expect that the place where Elena¡¯s sister and brother would entertain was not a luxury hotel in the city, but an indoor garden restaurant. As soon as he entered, it gave people a quiet and elegant feeling, and the mood was relaxed without knowing it. And beyond the glass wall of the restaurant, there is a green grass, next to it there is a small pavilion and a flower bed, the environment is very good. As soon as he sat down in the restaurant, Henry couldn''t sit still. He approached Li Wuming and kept talking. Although he didn''t hear clearly what he was saying to Li Wuming because he was far away, he just wanted to learn kungfu. Upon seeing this, Elena showed an apologetic smile to Xia Yu and explained: "Xia Yu, I''m sorry, my brother is like this. Ever since I watched Bruce Lee''s movies as a child, I have always wanted to learn Chinese Kung Fu. I begged my father to find someone to teach him, but unfortunately he never found it." "After Bruce Lee passed away, he was sad for a long time. Because he couldn''t find anyone to teach him kung fu for a long time, he never begged my dad again. I didn''t expect him to keep it in his heart. I was surprised about this." Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "It''s not better to apologize. In fact, Henry likes Kung Fu is also a good thing. Kungfu practice is good for health. I have practiced Kung Fu for a year, and I am very energetic. I haven''t gotten sick yet." Elena''s eyes shimmered, and she looked at Xia Yu curiously, and asked, "Is it so magical?" "Of course, I never lie to beautiful girls!" Xia Yu looked straight at Elena''s beautiful eyes and said with a faint smile. Xia Yu''s disguised praise made Elena happy, and smiled gently and generously: "I think your mouth might be smeared with honey!" "Haha..." Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. Elena also followed with a smile, a little curious about Xia Yu in her heart. Over the years, there have been countless outstanding boys who have pursued her, and she has long been able to hear all kinds of extremely numb, expressing love words. But it may be that Xia Yu was the first Asian boy to praise her, and he was deeply impressed by Xia Yu¡¯s piano music before, so Xia Yu¡¯s calm praise made Elena slightly happy. . At this moment, Henry should have been unsuccessful in Li Wuming''s request, so his face was a little disappointed and returned, and sat next to his sister Elena. But Henry also knew that Li Wuming was Xia Yu''s bodyguard. Li Wuming didn''t care about him. As long as Xia Yu spoke, then Li Wuming might still teach him. So the enthusiasm in his heart surged again, and he said to Xia Yu expectantly: "Xia Yu, can you let your bodyguard teach me Chinese Kungfu?" Thinking of Henry¡¯s background, Xia Yu¡¯s heart moved, and seeing Elena¡¯s face a little tangled, he said to Henry, the future Duke: ¡°Henry, it¡¯s actually very hard to learn Chinese Kungfu. We have a saying in China called ¡°One minute on stage¡±. The next ten years of work means that the time you see others performing on stage is usually only a short minute, but in order to perform this minute on stage, he may need to put in ten years of hard work." "And in order to practice Kung Fu well, you must get up at six o''clock in the morning and start training!" Henry was dumbfounded when he heard Xia Yu say this, but thinking of Li Wuming''s show of power, his heart became hot again. Henry said to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, you shouldn''t underestimate me. My father taught me to bear hardships and stand hard work since I was young. I am not afraid of hardship!" Seeing that her brother said this, and Xia Yu seemed to let go. Although Elena didn''t feel very good, she thought that her brother had been obsessed with Chinese Kungfu since he was a child, and now she can finally get her wish. She who loves her brother is reluctant to say so, so she smiles. Watching quietly. "Well, Henry, since you want to learn, I can ask Li Wuming to teach you some kung fu." Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said suddenly. Xia Yu''s promise was beyond Henry''s expectation. He stayed for a while, then stood up in surprise, staring at Xia Yu and said, "Really? You promised me?" "of course!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Henry suddenly jumped up with joy, holding his fists in both hands and shouting excitedly: "Unbelievable, it succeeded, I want to learn kung fu!" The excited look of her younger brother made Elena happy from the bottom of her heart. She gave Xia Yu a grateful look, and her pink lips lightly said, "Thank you!" When Henry was calmer, Xia Yu said to him: "Henry, there are many kinds of Chinese Kung Fu. Bruce Lee''s is Wing Chun and his own Jeet Kune Do. Do you want to learn Wing Chun or other?" Although Li Wuming majored in Xingyiquan, his talent was amazing, and he had fought against many masters of Chinese martial arts. Naturally, Wing Chun also knew a little bit, and he was more than enough to teach Henry. As for things that really involve the inheritance of national arts, Xia Yu would not easily let Li Wuming hand over to Henry. Even if Xia Yu asked him to teach, Li Wuming would not be willing, after all, Henry was a foreigner. But even if he teaches some furs, it is much stronger than the fake tricks of later generations, and it is completely enough for Henry to learn. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Henry opened his eyes and blurted out and asked: "I know that Chinese Kungfu has Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Bagua and Xingyi Quan. Does this Mr. Li know how?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "He knows all. You can learn Wing Chun, but I suggest you learn Tai Chi because I also learn Tai Chi." "Tai Chi?" When Henry heard this, he frowned and said embarrassedly: "But I see those old people in the square practicing Tai Chi, slow, not great at all!" "But Xia Yu, you were so good before, are you really practicing Tai Chi?" Henry suddenly thought that Xia Yu had also shown his hand before, couldn''t help but fall into self-doubt, and asked tangledly. Xia Yu laughed and said, "Henry, there are many types of Chinese Kungfu. There is never absolutely powerful Kungfu. It is only for individuals. As long as you practice deeply, every type of Kungfu is very powerful." Xia Yu¡¯s explanation made Henry more entangled. His admiration for Bruce Lee made him want to practice Wing Chun, but Xia Yu suggested that he practice Tai Chi. Xia Yu, a Chinese, must know more than him, so he didn¡¯t know how to choose. . After struggling for a while, Henry looked at Xia Yu expectantly: "Then can I see what Tai Chi and Wing Chun look like, can I ask Mr. Li to demonstrate?" "of course can!" Xia Yu agreed, and said to Li Wuming, "Brother Li, please, please." Li Wuming listened the whole time, and knew that Xia Yu asked him to teach some fur, and it didn''t involve inheritance, so he didn''t care. What''s more, he also knew that Henry was the son of Duke Howard, and a good relationship with him would be of great benefit to the boss, so he naturally wanted to help the boss. Li Wuming changed his mind and suggested to Xia Yu: "Boss, you can''t see anything by punching, and there is a lack of props. Why don''t you let Aming and their bodyguards go together? I''ll be careful!" Xia Yu understood Li Wuming¡¯s thoughts at once, and it was in line with his ideas, so he nodded slightly and said to Henry and Elena: "Elena, Henry, and Li Wuming said that in order to show the effect, I can let me His other bodyguards attacked him together with your bodyguards, but you can rest assured that he will pay attention to his measures." "Really?" "Does he want to fight 7 by himself? My bodyguard is very good!" Henry''s eyes widened suddenly and his face was incredible, but when he saw Li Wuming nod his head, he was suddenly excited and quickly agreed: "Good, good!" "Uncle Anderson, can I trouble you to attack him together?" The four bodyguards sitting quietly on the side suddenly turned dark, but because it was their little master who was talking, they could only hold back, but they all rose up in anger at Li Wuming''s contempt. This Chinese is too arrogant! "Elena, rest assured, nothing will happen." Xia Yu chuckled at Elena who was worried. After hearing Xia Yu''s words, she saw that her younger brother was in a state of extreme excitement, and it also involved his brother''s choice of kung fu to fulfill his wishes, so she could only let her brother be willful once. Soon, Elena¡¯s four bodyguards and Xia Yu¡¯s other three bodyguards followed Li Wuming to the outdoor grass. Xia Yu, Elena and Henry also followed and stood there. Aside. In Henry''s expectant gaze, Li Wuming showed Wing Chun''s starting gesture. Xia Yu introduced on the side: "Now he uses Wing Chun, Henry, you have to be optimistic!" "Ok!" Hearing Bruce Lee''s kung fu, Henry was suddenly excited, and said without looking back, looking at Li Wuming tightly for fear of missing something. Suddenly, the brawny man named Anderson stepped on a fierce pace and used fighting moves to attack Li Wuming. Several other people also attacked at the same time. But then, Li Wuming completely revealed the demeanor of a middle-aged master of martial arts. Although he closed the fight, his swift moves attacked the attacking seven. Li Wuming was not beaten for a while, but from time to time he knocked others down. The dazzling chaos made Henry look intently, his face flushed with excitement. Even Elena, who has never seen Li Wuming''s power, opened her eyes wide, her mouth opened slightly, and her face was incredible. "Now it''s Tai Chi!" Seeing Li Wuming change his actions, Xia Yu reminded Henry. Then, Li Wuming showed what it means to overcome rigidity with softness and fight with strength. Although Tai Chi is soft and soft, the speed is also very eye-catching. The seven people were played between the palms of Li Wuming''s hands like a clown, and the fierce attacks from one by one were resolved, and then they were thrown out by Li Wuming. Immediately, seven people lay on the ground, and Li Wuming stood in the middle with a calm expression, showing the grandmaster''s atmosphere. Li Wuming was originally a martial idiot, and his talent was extremely amazing. When he was a bodyguard for Xia Yu, Li Chunqiu said that he was stuck in the bottleneck of breaking through the master. During the time following Xia Yu, Li Wuming had already broken through. Xia Yu once asked Li Wuming how advanced his kung fu was. Li Wuming calmly said that Xiangjiang was invincible. Even a few old masters were not his opponent. Xia Yu was shocked for several days. After that, Li Wuming fought Yan Shining again, and Yan Shining, who was still evenly matched, was defeated after fifty moves. It is precisely because of Li Wuming''s strong strength that Xia Yu can safely take Li Wuming out every timeGuru! " Seeing Li Wuming pulling the others up one by one, Henry couldn''t help swallowing, and then exclaimed excitedly. "Xia Yu, these two kung fu are so powerful, Wing Chun is so fierce, but Tai Chi is also very powerful, pulling people to beat, Mr. Li is too powerful!" "Xia Yu, is this Chinese Kung Fu? It''s incredible!" Elena''s eyes were also full of shock, and she asked Xia Yu dreamily. The four of her own bodyguards were so powerful, Irina had also seen them, but she didn¡¯t expect the four of them to join together at this time, plus Xia Yu¡¯s three bodyguards, all seven of them were defeated by Li Wuming with bare hands in a short time. , This is completely beyond her imagination. At this moment, Xia Yu was covered with another layer of veil in her heart, and she had such a powerful bodyguard. But they said that Anderson, who stood up, moved their hands and feet, but found that apart from some muscle aches, there was nothing wrong with them. They also knew that Li Wuming was merciful. Chapter 538: Kiss While ashamed, Anderson also admired from the bottom of his heart. He walked up to Li Wuming and said, "You are the most powerful person I have ever seen in empty-handed combat. I salute you!" Li Wuming smiled and nodded, and said, "You are not bad!" Anderson couldn¡¯t help but smile when he heard the words and didn¡¯t say much. "Henry, have you decided what you want to learn after reading it?" Xia Yu asked with a faint smile. Henry struggled for a long time and still didn''t know how to choose. He felt that both kung fu were very powerful, so he asked: "Can I learn both together?" Xia Yu shook his head and explained: "I suggest you only learn one type, unless you learn to a very good degree later, and you can learn the second type again. If you just learn it at the beginning, if it is not suitable, you will practice chaos." Henry curled his lips, muttered, and finally looked at Xia Yu, his eyes rolled, and said, "Then I want to learn Tai Chi!" "Wise choice!" "Are you studying now? Or wait until you go back?" "Of course now! I can''t wait!" Henry said quickly. Xia Yu nodded, and said to Li Wuming: "Brother Li, trouble you!" "No trouble!" "Come with me!" Afterwards, Henry happily ran up to Li Wuming and practiced with Li Wuming on the grass. Xia Yu and Elena watched for a while, then they returned to the dining room and sat down. "Xia Yu, thank you!" Elena looked straight at Xia Yu with beautiful eyes, thanking her. "No thanks, it''s a simple matter..." ... Then, the two chatted. Because of the series of events, Elena''s impression of Xia Yu got better and better. As they learned more and more in the chat, the relationship between the two became more and more familiar. "By the way, Xia Yu, I have searched for the piano piece you played and haven''t found it in the past few days. Can you tell me where to buy it?" Suddenly, Elena asked Xia Yu. "This piano piece has not been released yet, I also heard it from my friend." Xia Yu was taken aback. He didn''t expect Elena to be so interested in the song "The Wedding in a Dream". He thought about it and explained. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Elena''s beautiful face showed regret. Xia Yu said hurriedly: "But Elena, if you like it, I can give it to you, as long as it doesn''t spread out, it doesn''t matter." "really?" Elena''s eyes lit up and asked expectantly. "Really!" Xia Yu definitely nodded. "That''s great!" "But before that, please listen and point out my mistakes." After speaking, Elena came to the piano in the left corner of the restaurant with Xia Yu''s puzzled expression. Putting up the piano, Elena adjusted her position, smiled at Xia Yu, and then tapped her finger to play. Upon hearing this melody, Xia Yu was surprised. It was the song "The Wedding in a Dream", but there were many specious points, and he could also hear Elena''s uncertainty when playing. At the end of the song, Elena stepped off the piano and looked at Xia Yu expectantly. Xia Yu returned to his senses, still a touch of shock remained in his eyes. Elena just heard him play it once, but remembered so much, this talent is too scary! Xia Yu couldn''t help thinking of what they said when they were chatting on the square, mentioning that Elena was the piano princess of Oxford University. With this talent, this title is not an exaggeration. "Elena, you really surprised me!" Xia Yu said admiringly. Elena smiled sweetly and said: "You played so nicely, it made me remember it unknowingly. These days at home, I always have this song in my mind, so I tried to restore it. Actually, I I know, I can''t play well." "So I would like to ask you to point out what I did wrong. This song is very romantic and I like it very much." Elena''s undisguised and frank words made Xia Yu feel good about her. He smiled and said, "Then listen to me again. With your talent, you should be able to remember. If there is still something unclear. , Ask me again, I will tell you all." With that said, Xia Yu sat on the piano stool with Elena''s expectant eyes and began to play. Elena smiled, covering her face with her hands, quietly watching Xia Yu play. When there is a common topic between men and women, friendship will quickly heat up. After Xia Yu played, Elena went up again, and Xia Yu corrected the wrong syllable little by little. One who taught attentively and the other listened attentively, and soon Elena, who was so talented, memorized the entire song, and became proficient after playing it several times. "Papa..." At the end of the song, Xia Yu smiled and applauded, and Elena got off the piano stage with a smile on her face. "Xia Yu, thank you!" "No thanks, we are friends, aren''t we?" Xia Yu shrugged, looked at Elena, and said with clear eyes. "You are the first British girl I know!" Elena was stunned, her face was like a peach blossom, and she said happily: "Yes, we are friends, and you are also the first Chinese boy I know from Xiangjiang." "It''s my honor!" Xia Yu said with a smile. I saw Elena stretched out her right hand with a smile, and the jade hand made a drooping pose, and said at the same time: "Meet me again, my Xiangjiang friend, my name is Elena, I am glad to meet you!" When Xia Yu saw this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Hello Elena, my name is Xia Yu, it''s my honor to know you!" After speaking, Xia Yu bowed slightly, and gently lifted Elena''s fingertips with her right hand and put it in front of her and kissed gently. Elena watched Xia Yu''s movements with a smile. This is a common kiss gift in the West, which means that Elena truly regarded Xia Yu as a good friend. There are many rituals for meeting in the West, such as bowing, nodding, raising hands, handshake, kiss, kiss, hug and so on. Among them, the first several are popular among the superior or equal, and the handshake is the most common. The kissing ceremony is a kind of etiquette popular in the upper class in Europe and America. When meeting an upper-class noble woman or wife, if the woman first stretches out her hand to do the drooping pose, gently lift her fingertips to kiss it. But if the woman does not stretch her hand, she does not kiss. When giving a kiss ceremony, if the woman has a higher status, she must bend her knees in a half-kneeling position before shaking hands and kissing. This etiquette is most valued in the British and French society. Elena was born in a family of dukes, so kissing hands is naturally the etiquette she wants to learn, but she seldom goes to cocktail parties and has fewer friends, so she rarely takes the initiative to reach out. But now she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Xia Yu, in fact, to show that she regarded Xia Yu as a good friend. It was not interesting to Xia Yu. Xia Yu naturally knew the etiquette of kissing hands, although she was surprised by Elena¡¯s actions. But there is no brain downtime. Of course, according to the truth, Xia Yu should kiss Elena on the back of her hand half-kneeling, after all, Elena is the daughter of the Duke, and here in the UK, her status must be more noble than Xia Yu. But Xia Yu wouldn''t be silly and show it. If he kisses half-kneeling, it shows that he should know Elena''s situation, and it will inevitably appear that the purpose of Xia Yu''s series of actions is impure. Pretending to be confused is the best choice! After kissing for three seconds, Xia Yu let go of Elena''s hand with some dismay, and the two smiled at each other. The chatting time always passed quickly. When it was almost time for dinner, the restaurant finally began to serve food, Xia Yu and Elena had to serve. Li Wuming also stopped teaching and brought back Henry, who had both excitement and regret. As soon as he went to the table, Henry kept telling Elena excitedly, and seeing her brother so happy, Elena couldn''t help but smile. Of course, for Xia Yu, Henry''s senses are also very good. The appearance of Xia Yu as an iron buddy makes Xia Yu a little bit dumbfounded. He is really too familiar. After lunch, they should have parted, but Henry wanted to learn kung fu, and Li Wuming couldn''t leave Xia Yu. No way, Elena can only follow her brother and ask Xia Yu again if she is busy. Of course Xia Yu is blunt. After that, Elena invited Xia Yu to visit her home in London. Elena''s residence in the UK is located in the Hammersmith Fulham area of ??London, the area where Xia Yu bought Rolls Royce, a typical wealthy area. After arriving, Xia Yu found that Elena''s house was a big villa with a small garden. Elena introduced that this was the house his father had just bought for her. She was about to graduate this year, so she came to London for an internship. She didn''t want to rely on the help of her family, but planned to complete the internship on her own. This idea was supported by her father. . It is during the winter vacation, so her brother lives with her, occasionally in Norfolk''s home. After arriving at Elena''s house, Henry pestered Li Wuming to continue teaching him Kung Fu, and Xia Yu visited her home under Elena''s leadership. After that, the two chatted. During the chat, Elena was surprised to find that Xia Yu not only has a deep understanding of music, but also has a deep understanding of business and finance. She feels that she has learned knowledge. It seems that they are not as good as Xia Yu. Some of the questions that bothered him were answered easily by Xia Yu. As a result, Elena became more curious about Xia Yu, and at the same time the conversation between the two of them became wider. Happy time is always short, and it was around five o''clock in the evening in a blink of an eye, and Xia Yu had to bid farewell to the darkening of the sky. Sent out of the door by Elena¡¯s brother and sister, Xia Yu stopped and said to Henry with regret: ¡°Henry, I should be in the UK for the past few months. There is still time to learn kung fu. I will come back later, or You can also come to me." "Ok!" Henry pursed his lips, raised his spirits and said. "Elena, thank you for your invitation. I had a great time today, and I will welcome you to my house next time!" Xia Yu looked at Elena again, and said with a smile. "I am also very happy, there must be a chance!" Elena said happily, there was a trace of reluctance in her heart for some reason, but she didn''t notice it. "Goodbye!" "Take care!" Watching Xia Yu''s car go away Elena and Henry both intend to go back. Henry suddenly laughed and said, "Sister, you seem to have a good chat with Xia Yu today. I don''t seem to have seen any boy you treat like this. Do you have a good impression of him?" A glimmer of suspicion flashed in Elena''s heart, and she immediately shook her head to deny it, but she didn''t notice that the corners of her mouth curled up unknowingly. "No, we are just friends! It''s just that there are some similar topics!" "Henry, I think we should talk about things in the morning." "Oh no, sister, I remember I still have something..." Henry noticed something wrong, and left a word and ran away. Seeing her younger brother fleeing, Elena chuckled, and the whole room seemed a little brighter. Chapter 539: Sudden surprise To talk about the most famous building in Norfolk, England, it is undoubtedly the Howard Castle, which belongs to the Howard family. And not only in Norfolk, but in the whole of England and even in Europe, Howard Castle is considered a great building. Howard Castle has a history of 280 years so far. It was built in 1699, after three generations, it took more than 100 years to finally complete. The entire Howard Castle covers an area of ??more than one thousand acres and has 145 rooms. It is the breeding ground of the Howard family, but because the Howard family is not prosperous, most of the rooms are left unused. At this time, in the lobby of Castle Howard, the 48-year-old Duke Carter Howard leaned on the leather sofa, stroked the emerald finger on his right thumb, and quietly listened to a detailed report from a subordinate in front of him. "My lord, the investigation leads have been interrupted. The current intelligence shows that it was a person code-named''Blue Eagle'' who instigated five of them to kidnap Master Henry. The mission issuer did not find out. Although the five murderers provided information with the''Blue Eagle'' For the clues of the meeting with the eagle, our people found that the blue eagle had disappeared after finding the place. MI6 is also under full investigation, and there is no news yet." Hearing this result, Carter Howard looked gloomy, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. Three days have not been found, but only one person code-named ¡®Blue Eagle¡¯ has been found. The real murderer has not yet surfaced, and there is a figure flashing through his mind, but he is not sure. Because he was removed from the right to inherit the title of Duke when he was young, the family did not put much pressure on him. He was also a **** character and was famous throughout England. It¡¯s just a surprise that Carter Howard fell in love with a commoner girl when the sun came out to the west, and changed his past, no longer linger in feasting, and became a good man at home. Later, he and his wife were left with a daughter and a son. After the unexpected death of his eldest brother''s family, he inherited the Duke of Norfolk. His only son Henry Howard was the most suitable heir to the Duke in the future. Moreover, his wife passed away seven years ago. Although his nature slowly recovered, he has never remarried and still only has one son. Now that the enemy is attacking his only son, how can he not be angry! After knowing the matter, he mobilized the power of the family to investigate, and at the same time, as the duke of his staunch royalist party, met with Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty immediately ordered the MI6 Bureau to intervene in the investigation to maintain the dominance of the nobility. Unexpectedly, it''s been three days, but this is the result! However, even though Carter Howard was angry, he didn''t blame his subordinates. After all, MI6 couldn''t find out. It was normal that the power of their Howard family could not be found out. The unknown enemy could only be blamed for being too cunning. What he can do is to increase the secret security force for his son and daughter in addition to the bodyguard on the face. "What about the others? How are Elena and Henry today?" Temporarily revealing this topic, Carter Howard said lightly. The subordinate secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up and reported truthfully: "The young lady and the young master went to the Bright Fund in the City of London today, waited until Xia Yu, and then went... At 5:31 in the afternoon, Xia Yu left." When Carter Howard heard his subordinates say that Elena invited Xia Yu to the residence, and Henry was still learning kung fu with Xia Yu''s bodyguard named Li Wuming, his eyes became deep. Then he quietly picked up the information on the desktop, and flipped through it again. Although there has been more and more information about Xia Yu in the past few days, Carter Howard has also watched it many times from Britain to Xiangjiang, and every time he sees it, he is shocked. He did not expect that Xia Yu, who had saved his son, was so outstanding. He grew up from the son of an ordinary fisherman to the current leader of a consortium at a young age, and also defeated Cather, the leader of the first British consortium in the Far East. Gram family. At that time, he also suspected that the mastermind behind Henry''s distress from time to time Xia Yu was just trying to get close to their family. Later, after investigation, Xia Yu''s suspicion was cleared. Today, his daughter and son went to Xia Yu to express their gratitude, and he acquiesced. It''s just that he never thought that his little princess, who was pretentious to men, would invite Xia Yu to the house, and his youngest son would learn kung fu from his bodyguard. After investigating Xia Yu¡¯s information, the information of Li Wuming, a personal bodyguard, was naturally known to Carter Howard. Li Wuming¡¯s sturdy record in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia let him know that this is a kung fu master with amazing melee combat power. Much better than the Kung Fu teachers that his son Henry asked before. When Henry came back from distress, he begged him to dig Li Wuming over to teach him kung fu for a long time. Carter Howard was still hopeful at first, but after learning about the information, he knew that he wanted to dig him from Xia Yu, almost never. may. So now that Henry''s wish has come true, Carter Howard is also very happy to learn kung fu from Li Wuming. Compared to face, he cares more about his son''s feelings. "Master Duke, do you need to strengthen the monitoring of Xia Yu next?" The subordinate asked in a low voice. Carter Howard thought for a while, a smile appeared on his mouth, and he shook his head and said, "No, since he is a friend of Elena and Henry and saved Henry''s life, he is naturally a friend of our Howard family." "With your abilities, it is difficult to monitor him secretly. It is estimated that he has been discovered now, so let''s withdraw and devote your energy to protecting Elena and Henry." "I don''t want to appear again!" At the end, Carter Howard''s face was cold, his voice suddenly raised, shocking his subordinates. "understand!" "Okay, go down first, and report to me whenever you have a situation!" Carter Howard finished speaking and waved his subordinates away. After the subordinates quietly retreated, Carter Howard looked at the information in his hand again with an interesting smile on his mouth. "He is capable of being a friend of the Howard family..." "Want to buy the Financial Times? Haha, it was too simple to think, but now that Henry is saved, I will help you. The Howard family doesn''t like to owe favors to others..." "It seems that I haven''t seen Philip for a month just by the way to talk to him about the campaign..." ... Five days later, Xia Yu received good news from George Berkeley, and he was a little dazed. Because Pearson Group changed its previous cold-faced attitude and even agreed to sell 71% of the shares in the Financial Times Company. The acquisition process has entered the negotiation and bargaining stage like a leap! This was completely beyond his expectation. In Xia Yu¡¯s original vision, the Daily Telegraph in the hands of Canadian Black should make progress first, but he did not expect the Financial Times to break through first, and it still broke through. , The biggest difficulty facing the acquisition of "Financial Times" was broken! He remembers that when he asked about the situation the day before yesterday, George Berkeley also said that the acquisition of equity by scattered minority shareholders had progressed, and that the Pearson Group was not giving face at all and should not be able to resolve it within a month. Unexpectedly, the situation would be reversed just two days after finishing talking. How could he not be surprised? For this reason, Xia Yu did not stay at home too much, and came to the Bright Fund for the first time and found George Berkeley. Chapter 540: Personally build the ace department "George, what is the specific situation?" As soon as I arrived at the Guangming Fund, I saw George Berkeley waiting in the office. Xia Yu went straight to the subject and walked to his seat. "Boss, now I have entrusted a British public accountant company to estimate the Financial Times Company, and I have scheduled a second negotiation with Pearson Group tomorrow afternoon." George Berkeley said with a hint of excitement, and he still felt a little dazed now, just like a dream. Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked again: "Why is the change so big, do you know that you are willing?" Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s inquiry, George Berkeley suppressed his mood, sorted out his thoughts, and said in detail: ¡°In the beginning, after we gave the quotation, the Pearson Group directly rejected it, claiming that the Financial Times was not for sale and refused to negotiate with us. It is useless for us to increase the price step by step in the future, and the Pearson Group will not even talk about it." "But early this morning, we raised our offer again. When we offered 12 million to acquire 71% of Pearson Group''s equity, a senior executive of Pearson Group softened his attitude and sent a message to accept our tender offer. The specific price will be discussed separately. At that time, I went to the headquarters of Pearson Group to meet him." "Pearson Group is not satisfied with the price of 12 million pounds, but I can be sure that Pearson Group is willing to sell us all the shares in the Financial Times Company!" Xia Yu frowned and told him instinctively that there must be something he didn''t know about, otherwise Pearson Group would not change its attitude drastically. And it doesn''t set up barriers, but is entangled in price. When did the British guys talk so well? Things were too abnormal, and Xia Yu was rather suspicious. But what George Berkeley is saying now can''t give him useful information, and he can''t analyze it. "George, think about it, is there any problem?" Xia Yu asked. George Berkeley closed his eyes and thought, while Xia Yu waited quietly, thinking about it in his mind. About ten minutes later, George Berkeley shook his head at Xia Yu with a somewhat ugly expression: "Boss, I sorted it out, but I didn''t find anything wrong for the time being. The attitude of Pearson Group is more kind." Seeing this, Xia Yu could only give up his doubts for the time being, and decided to go ahead and take one step at a time. After all, although things were abnormal, the current situation was in his favor. In any case, even if it is a poisonous cake, you must eat it first. Anyway, others don''t know that he has money in his hands. Xia Yu is confident that he can survive even if something goes wrong. After making up his mind, Xia Yu told George Berkeley, who was still frowning and thinking: "George, don''t think about it anymore. Then you can pay more attention to the acquisition. Since the Pearson Group is willing to sell, you should speed up the progress and make the financial The shares of the Times Company are taken down!" "understand!" George Berkeley looked loose and nodded seriously. Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked again: "How is the progress of the Daily Telegraph and Rolls-Royce Motor Company?" "The progress of the "Daily Telegraph" acquisition is fairly smooth. Our people have already contacted Black. Although Black rejected our several offers, according to our analysis, we only dislike the low price." "Very good, continue to speed up the progress, it doesn''t matter if the price is higher, I just want the result!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction, once again clarifying his attitude. In the 1970s and 1980s, the entire European media industry had not yet exploded, so even if the current purchase price doubled, when Europe came out of the quagmire and the media industry broke out, Xia Yu still made a lot of money, so he didn¡¯t care about paying more. , As long as you get it, you can play the political value earlier. "Where is the Rolls Royce Motor Company?" "Now we are still collecting information and entrusting a British public accountant company to assist us in the acquisition. The company''s specialized acquisition team has built the skeleton and is still filling up the manpower." George Berkeley reports truthfully. The acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was too difficult, so he sought the assistance of a British public accountant company. The next step was to find a bank with a strong network and a greater success rate. Now the company can do to form a strong A strong elite acquisition team improves the success rate of acquisitions. It''s a pity that the Bright Fund is a new company after all. Even though he has fully mobilized his contacts, there are not many elites recruited. Especially now that three projects are being carried out at the same time, and the Financial Times company''s sudden progress has soared, causing him to focus on this, so the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company has slowed down. After learning about the situation, Xia Yu thought for a while. It seemed that the leisurely days had to be ended, and he could only speed up the progress by checking it himself. Thinking of this, he instructed George Berkeley: "George, I will take over the construction of the acquisition team of Rolls-Royce Motor Company. You will buy two newspapers with all your strength!" George Berkeley was taken aback. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still obeyed the order and secretly encouraged himself to go all out to deal with it and produce results as soon as possible. "Yes, I will never let you down, boss!" "Well, come on!" After Xia Yu encouraged him, George Berkeley left the office with high morale, Xia Yu also stood up and went to build the acquisition team. Soon, Bright Fund Co., Ltd. recruited again on a large scale, but the threshold was set high, and the salary package was also high. At the same time, Xia Yu is no longer limited to Korn Ferry International, but at the same time issued hunting tasks to the four major headhunting companies. They are all financial elites proficient in mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring, and restructuring consulting services. He intends to personally cast the M&A department of Bright Fund and make it the face of Bright Fund, which is exactly what he needs. In the next few decades, Europe will be turbulent and various opportunities will emerge in endlessly. Of course, Xia Yu, who holds capital, must join the gluttonous feasts that have not yet occurred. However, many companies are not so easy to acquire, especially the higher the value and the more important a country¡¯s people¡¯s livelihood and safety, the more difficult it is to acquire. If you want to eat more potential companies and acquire as much as possible wholly-owned, you need Xia Yu to have a good set of teeth, otherwise, he can''t say anything, and he will easily die. Therefore M&A and restructuring are the top priorities. As for other fund raising consulting, asset management and other common businesses of other fund companies, Xia Yu intends to put it aside first. Anyway, he has no shortage of funds for the time being, and he is also relatively greedy. He intends to eat good things into his stomach and does not want to share it with others easily. The most important thing is safety and control of the company. So there is no plan to raise funds from outside for the time being. The positioning of the Guangming Fund is to be a cormorant, eating a delicious fish, and then spit it out to Xia Yu to distribute to other places. Xia Yu has the memories of many future financial tycoons, especially the memory of one of them being the king of Wall Street and the co-founder of Blackstone Group Steve Schwarzman. The M&A business is the trump card of the Blackstone Group. Since its establishment in 1985, it has accumulated nearly 400 billion US dollars in business volume. Therefore, Xia Yu is another Steve Schwarzman, and he is still completely. Xia Yu is fully confident in building an M&A department. Chapter 541: The truth emerges Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... In the following days, Xia Yu devoted all his energy to the Bright Fund. Now affected by the overall environment, the financial industry has also appeared to be sluggish. Many financial industry employees are not happy, so in the face of the attractive salary offered by Bright Fund, many talents come to apply for employment. And because of the market environment, it is very difficult for the four headhunting companies commissioned by Xia Yu to dig people. Faced with the olive branch thrown by Xia Yu, many elite talents are willing to come and give it a try. Therefore, Xia Yu is interviewing people every day and at the same time ordering the established acquisition team to collect information about the Rolls-Royce Group as soon as possible. Of course, it¡¯s worth mentioning that Henry Howard¡¯s enthusiasm for learning Kungfu is very high. When Li Wuming did not leave Xia Yu, he took the initiative to go to the Bright Fund to find Li Wuming, and Xia Yu ordered Li Wuming to work in one of the company¡¯s offices. Teaching Henry Howard in the empty room. Sometimes Elena would also come with him. As a result, the siblings and Xia Yu became more and more familiar with each other. It was January 21st in a flash. Xia Yu had just finished the operational deployment meeting of the Rolls-Royce temporary acquisition team in the large conference room, returned to his office and sat down, and saw George Berkeley walk in with a smile on his face. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu also smiled. He knew that the acquisition was successful! Early this morning, George Berkeley took the team to Pearson Group. The Pearson Group directly let go, so the negotiation went smoothly. George Berkeley also knew what the boss Xia Yu wanted, so while the Pearson Group was good at talking, he also raised the price step by step according to the rhythm. Over the past ten days, the price has been mentioned at 16.5 million pounds step by step, and the Pearson Group¡¯s reserve price has also stepped down to 17.5 million pounds. The acquisition team judged that it would be successful this time, and prepared everything to go to Pearson Group. "Take it?" Xia Yu asked with a smile, a ray of expectation rose in his heart. "Boss, has signed an equity transfer contract with a purchase price of 17 million pounds. He bought 71% of the equity in the Financial Times company held by Pearson Group. As long as the funds arrive, it will take effect and the equity will be transferred!" "This is a signed agreement, please check it out!" George Berkeley presented Xia Yu with a stack of contracts in a kraft paper bag in his hand. Because of the successful completion of the task, George Berkeley was red, obviously very excited. Xia Yu opened the kraft paper file bag, took out a stack of contracts, and quickly flipped through them. The key figures were collected in his eyes and kept in mind. Sure enough, it was a transfer price of 17 million pounds, and the transfer was the entire Financial Times Group company''s equity, not just the "Financial Times" magazine. Xia Yu knows that in the Financial Times Group, in addition to the Financial Times, it also holds a 50% stake in the company where the Economist magazine is located, and also has assets such as the Economic Research Institute. Of course, in addition to these software assets, the Financial Times Group also owns hardware assets such as company locations and materials. After packing together, it is estimated that the Bright Fund spent 17 million pounds to buy 71% of the equity, which shows that the current Financial Times Group''s overall value is close to 24 million pounds! "Very well, you go and sign the payment slip, put the money into the Pearson Group account, and complete the final acquisition process." Xia Yu told George Berkeley. "Ok!" "How many scattered stocks have you acquired?" Xia Yu asked suddenly again. He knows that although George Berkeley has been violently attacking Pearson Group''s equity, the 29% of the equity scattered in the hands of other minority shareholders has also been divided into tasks and employees are separately responsible for the acquisition. George Berkeley immediately replied: "The boss, so far, has received 18.4% of the equity, and the total cost is 3.89 million pounds. The purchase price is lower than the Pearson Group." "The remaining 10.6% of the equity has not been acquired. It is not difficult. It can definitely complete the task in five days at most!" Holding 89.4% of the shares of the Financial Times Group, George Berkeley is full of confidence. Those small shareholders have to sell if they don''t sell. Otherwise, as a major shareholder, some means to deal with them. As long as the small shareholders are wise, they will take the initiative to let go. These small shareholders are already in contact, as long as the Pearson Group let go of the news, ensure that they accept their fate one by one. So five days is definitely enough! "Five days? Yes, it''s best to be able to do it early. After completing the acquisition, immediately acquire the remaining 50% of The Economist''s equity!" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, thought about it, and ordered George Berkeley. After George Berkeley agreed, he calmed down a bit, and suddenly thought of the answer to the question he asked when he left. He felt that he had to tell his boss. "Boss, the reason for the big change in Pearson Group''s attitude has been found." George Berkeley said truthfully, still puzzled. Xia Yu condensed his eyes and immediately asked: "Explain what happened in detail!" "After signing the contract today, I chatted with the chairman of the Pearson Group, and he mentioned that he did not intend to sell the Financial Times Company, but it was because Duke Carter Howard communicated with their patriarch. Changed my mind." "Boss, as for why Duke Carter Howard helped us, the reason is still unknown." George Berkeley said with a somewhat complicated expression. George Berkeley didn''t know, but Xia Yu understood. At this time, his expression was quite different. He didn''t expect Elena and Henry''s father to help, which was completely beyond his expectation. Obviously, Duke Howard knew that he was acquiring the Financial Times Group. In order to repay him for saving Henry, he helped him. This is considered a favor. This is totally unexpected! Now that he knew that it was Duke Carter Howard''s handwriting, Xia Yu was at ease. Of course, although George Berkeley is still at a loss, there is no need to let him know about it, so Xia Yu said to him with a relaxed expression: "Okay, George, don''t worry, I have something to do with Duke Howard~www .novelhall.com~ I didn''t expect him to help me." George Berkeley looked at Xia Yu in surprise. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to know Duke Carter Howard. But this is the secret of the boss. Since the boss didn''t say anything, it would be inconvenient for him to ask again. Anyway, as long as he knows that there is no problem. "George, if there is nothing else, you will complete the equity delivery as soon as possible." "Then boss, I''m going out first!" "Ok!" When George Berkeley withdrew, Xia Yu showed a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, worrying for nothing. "But that''s okay. I have a good relationship with Elena and Henry. Duke Carter Howard''s attitude toward the world can be seen. This is great for me!" "Remember that Hony has said that Carter Howard is still closely related to the Conservative Party, and he is in the right place! "It seems to be a good grasp..." Chapter 542: ï¿¡22.84 million In the next few days, George Berkeley reported to Xia Yu on the latest acquisition progress. Facts have proved that in the face of acquisitions by absolute majority shareholders, scattered minority shareholders are basically wise not to resist. So there is no need for five days at all. On the afternoon of the fourth day, that is, on the afternoon of January 24, the last minority shareholder sold his 2.4% stake. So far, 100% of the shares of the Financial Times Group were acquired by Xia Yu''s Bright Fund, which cost ¡ê22.84 million! When the Pearson Group negotiated with Bright Fund, the news was faintly revealed. After completing the transaction with the Pearson Group, the reputation of the Bright Fund gradually became louder, and some media focused on the Bright Fund. After the wholly-owned holding was completed, the reputation of Bright Fund spread throughout the financial market, not only in the media industry, but also in the financial industry. Just because the Financial Times Group is too special, it is the number one financial newspaper in the UK, and it also holds half of the equity of the number one financial magazine "The Economist", which has a wide range of influence in the British elite. It even has a deep influence in the financial markets of various European countries! Now it is this company that has changed ownership, so they can''t help but look at them, and then they are investigating the sacredness of this unheard of Bright Fund. However, Xia Yu has already dealt with the company offshore, so the legal person George Berkeley is on the surface, and Xia Yu is just one of George Berkeley¡¯s partners. Although Xia Yu had to actively expose some information for political aspirations, this information was only exposed to those who needed to know, and he had to be half-concealed skillfully in order to remain mysterious and prevent others from making ideas lightly. But now, before the initiative is exposed, it is natural to hide it well and push George Berkeley out. Of course, if others can find it, it is also the skill of others! Therefore, George Berkeley, who completed the acquisition of the Financial Times Group in one hand, became famous in London, but Xia Yu''s popularity is not too high. ... Clyde Albert is the president of the Financial Times Group. Of course, he is a professional manager. He is only 48 years old. He is at a very young age. He was hired as the president of the Financial Times Group five years ago. The company is in his hands. The development is very good. Originally, Clyde Albert was working diligently to manage the company these days. Unexpectedly, the news that the parent company Pearson Group was going to sell the company caused the company to panic. Clyde Albert had to go to the parent company to inquire about the situation, but he was dumbfounded because the dust settled when the agreement was signed when he went. But as a professional manager, he has a strong ability to accept. At the request of his new boss, George Berkeley, Clyde Albert returned to the company to stabilize the people while waiting for George Berkeley¡¯s notice. On the morning of January 25, he came to the door of the Guangming Fund. Looking at the sign, Clyde Albert straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the Bright Fund Company with a confident smile. Then, under the guidance of the staff, I came to an office and saw the only two people in the room. One was George Berkeley, who I had met, and the other was a young yellow man sitting on the main seat. . This unique situation surprised Clyde Albert a bit, but his mental quality was excellent and he did not show it. "Hello, gentlemen, I am Clyde Albert, the current CEO of the Financial Times Group." After Clyde Albert finished the introduction, he smiled and stood in place, looking directly at Xia Yu. Xia Yu made a please gesture: "Mr. Clyde, please sit down!" "Thank you!" Clyde Albert bowed slightly to thank him, then sat on the stool and waited quietly. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xia Yu. Bright Fund is my company." "You should know the man next to him, the president of the Bright Fund, George Berkeley." When Xia Yu introduced himself, George Berkeley gave Clyde Albert a friendly smile. "Hi boss!" "Hello Mr. George!" Hearing Xia Yu''s introduction, although Clyde Albert had guessed, he was still in shock. He did not expect Xia Yu, who was one of the partners, to be the owner of Bright Fund. "Well, don''t be so restrained, because I don''t want the outside world to know my identity for the time being, so I let you come here today. I have something to talk to you." "Please tell me!" "You can talk about the details of the company first!" "Ok!" "The company currently has 351 employees, of whom..." With Clyde Albert¡¯s talk, all the information of the Financial Times Group is open to Xia Yu, which is more comprehensive and true than the information during the investigation by the British public accounting company. Unconsciously, following Clyde Albert''s account, Xia Yu had a complete concept in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Financial Times Group is indeed a very good company, that is, 90% of Pearson Group¡¯s business is in the education industry, and Duke Carter Howard says hello, otherwise the Pearson Group will not necessarily sell, even if the Financial Times Group It is of little help to Pearson Group''s education industry business. But it doesn''t matter how it was before, what matters is that the company is now in his hands. After Clyde Albert finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and waited quietly for Xia Yu''s order. "Clyde, the company remains the same. Under your management, the company has developed well. Continue to manage it according to your ideas." When Clyde Albert heard Xia Yu''s words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, boss, for your trust!" "Because of some special reasons, I will not come forward. The employees of the company must be a little fluctuating now. You must stabilize the company as soon as possible and eliminate unfavorable factorsUnderstand!" "Next, let¡¯s talk about the business. You may not know. I have a newspaper company in Hong Kong. It has two newspapers with a daily circulation of more than one million copies and two weekly circulations. There are more than a million magazines, and one in the financial category!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Clyde Albert. Seeing him suddenly raised his head, his eyes were incredible. Only when seeing Xia Yu''s indifferent expression, Clyde Albert suppressed the shock in his heart, and at the same time gathered 12 points of attention. The boss seems to have a deep understanding of the media industry, so the next business discussion should not be blindly directed, he must take it seriously! Seeing that Clyde Albert was suppressed, Xia Yu was satisfied with the effect, and finally started talking about the topic. "Clyde, the Financial Times is the largest financial newspaper in the UK. Have you ever thought about how to continue to improve the authority and influence of the newspaper in the financial industry?" Chapter 543: Create a world-class stock market index Xia Yu¡¯s question was directly at the core of the Financial Times, and Clyde Albert had to answer solemnly. When the Financial Times Group was in his hands, his idea was to continuously improve the quality of articles, so he focused on expanding the collection target, cooperating with economic and business experts and scholars from various universities, and elite practitioners in the financial industry. The gradual increase in sales over the years has proved that his idea is correct. In the past five years, the quality of the articles in the Financial Times has become higher and higher, and various analyses have been introduced. The reading value is extremely high, the reputation has naturally continued to ferment, and there are more and more loyal readers. So Clyde Albert stated his practice and thoughts truthfully, and after speaking, he looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for Xia Yu''s evaluation. Although he thinks his approach and method are right, Xia Yu is now the boss, and the decision is in his hands. Seeing Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and Clyde Albert had time to be happy in the future, he saw Xia Yu smiling and shaking his head again, his heart hanging slightly. Then I heard Xia Yulang say: "Clyde, your methods and practices have worked well. If you continue to develop like this, the Financial Times can remain the No. 1 position of the same category without accident, but his upper limit It is limited, and enough time is needed!" "I ask you, according to what you said, do you think the "Financial Times" can become a necessity for people in the financial industry? Can it create its own barriers to prevent other newspapers from surpassing it?" After speaking, Xia Yu waited for his answer with interest. Clyde Albert frowned, thought for a long time, and shook his head with a somewhat ugly expression: "It can''t be a necessity, and it may be replaced." Clyde Albert has an advantage, that is, he dares to look directly at his shortcomings and shortcomings. Because of this, he has been growing and his abilities have become stronger. After listening to Xia Yu''s words just now, he quietly analyzed and found that he really couldn''t do what the boss said. If he develops in this way, it will rely heavily on contributions from major experts and scholars. If a newspaper pays a high price to cut the paper, the advantage of the Financial Times will easily be lost. Without those high-quality manuscripts, the quality of the "Financial Times" will decline, and word-of-mouth will easily collapse. Therefore, according to his method of development, the risk still exists, and the lifeblood is handed over to other people. This is not the behavior of a wise man. A media company that needs stability cannot do this! But when there is no other way, his approach is indeed a good measure to increase sales. It can only be said that there are advantages and disadvantages! "So it is necessary to create an irreplaceable advantage for the Financial Times and make it a necessity for people in the financial industry!" Xia Yu raised the volume and said, with a firmness in his words. Clyde Albert was shocked, feeling the determination of the boss, and wondering what the advantage the boss said. "Boss, please point me!" Clyde Albert lowered his posture and asked humbly. "For example, let the Financial Times create an irreplaceable authoritative stock market index for the entire London stock market. If you name it, it can be called the London Financial Times Index. As long as the financial industry practitioners and investors want to study the stock market, they will give priority to London Finance. When the Times Index, the company is invincible!" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said slowly. "London Financial Times Index?" Clyde Albert muttered, but frowned. If you can really build the London Financial Times Index, there is no doubt that the "Financial Times" will have a golden body, and any financial newspaper should not even think about surpassing the "Financial Times". But nowadays, there are also a number of various financial indexes in London. Except for some compiled by financial service institutions, only a few are compiled by newspapers and have little influence. Clyde Albert did not think about building a financial index, but because it was too difficult and risky, so far he just thought about it and didn''t really implement it. After all, he did not have the confidence. The stock market index is not easy to build. It requires a lot of research and analysis. The data is huge, the research is also difficult, and the data is still changing, so this work requires a lot of manpower. A stock market index is an indicator number for reference that is compiled by a stock exchange or financial service institution to indicate changes in the stock market. Based on this, investors can test the effects of their own investments and use them to predict stock market trends. At the same time, the press, company bosses and even political leaders also use this as a reference indicator to observe and predict social, political, and economic development. Index calculation methods are generally divided into three types, one is the relative method, the second is the comprehensive method, and the third is the weighting method. Usually, the stock price in the reporting period is compared with the base period price and the ratio of the two is multiplied by the base period. The index value of is the stock index for the reporting period. The world''s well-known stock market indexes include the Dow Jones Index, the New York Stock Exchange Index, the Standard & Poor''s Index, and the Nikkei 225 Index that uses the Dow Jones Index algorithm to evolve. Of course, although the HSI is famous in Hong Kong, it is only a small name in the world because of the size of the Hong Kong stock market. Unfortunately, due to various reasons in Europe, the three powers of Britain, France and Germany did not appear to have a world-renowned price index that can strongly represent their own stock markets. This is an opportunity. If the "Financial Times" can make it out, its reputation will really spread throughout the world, and its influence will spread throughout the world. What Clyde didn''t know was that the Financial Times actually launched a stock market index in 1984, the famous London Financial Times 100 Index, also known as the FTSE 100 Index. The FTSE 100 Index is the stock index of the largest 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. The index is a barometer of the British economy and one of the most important stock indexes in Europe. The FTSE 100 Index, Germany''s Frankfurt Index, and France''s CAC-40 Index are also known as the three major European stock indexes. It is one of the most popular financial commodities for investors in the world and has become one of the most important indicators for global investors to observe the trends of European stocks. . In addition, the "Financial Times" has also created the FTSE 250 Index and the FTSE 350 Index, which are equally famous, pushing the authority of the "Financial Times" to the pinnacle and making it famous all over the world. It is for this reason that Shiguang, a Financial Times company, was acquired by the island nation¡¯s Nikkei Group for 844 million euros. Of course, none of these things Clyde Albert knew. But Xia Yu knew everything, so he had to artificially push it to make the stock index that will be available in five years ahead of time! With his guidance on the key points, the Financial Times Group only needs to recruit people to collect data, and then calculate a series of data such as weights according to the publicity set by him, and then create a stock market price index table. Using the stock market index that has been perfected for decades to boost the "Financial Times", the effect is not too shocking, it can definitely make a big hit. Clyde Albert took a deep breath and said firmly: "Boss, don''t worry, I will set up a special project to establish a stock index research institute after I return." Although he said so, only he knows how heavy the pressure in his heart is. This is a huge challenge! I don''t know the cost, time, and effect! Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to set up a department. In order to better operate, you set up a special subsidiary called FTSE Index Co., Ltd., and then complete the company¡¯s personnel formation. I will give you a A piece of material, you follow that idea to build a stock market index." "Yes!" Clyde Albert was puzzled, and he was still a little curious, but he didn''t ask, after all, the materials hadn''t come out obviously. ... In the next few days, Xia Yu listed the companies that make up the FTSE 100 index one by one based on the circumstances of future generations. In fact, as long as the idea of ??making a stock market index is right, the difficulty will drop drastically. The later FTSE 100 Index selected the stocks of the 100 largest companies in the UK stock market, and the constituent stocks covered 9 major European countries, mainly British companies, and also included Germany, France, and France, which are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Companies from eight countries: Italy, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Spain. The constituent stocks of the FTSE 100 Index are reviewed every quarter and replaced according to actual conditions. In addition to the FTSE 100 Index, Xia Yu also wrote about the planning of the FTSE 250 Index and the FTSE 350 Index. The FTSE 250 Index is an index calculated with the goal of the FTSE 100 Index covering the 250 stocks with the largest stock surprises. The FTSE 350 Index is an index that covers all companies in the FTSE 100 Index and the FTSE 250 Index. Of course, the construction of the FTSE 250 index and the FTSE 350 index should rank behind the FTSE 100 index. The most important thing now is to build the FTSE 100 Index. This is the essence and the most authoritative and representative index. The other two are extensions of the FTSE 100 Index. Xia Yu intends to continue to expand its influence and coverage after the success of the FTSE 100 Index to create a strong and broad moat for the company. Only by eating the cake in advance and walking away from others can you be safer! In addition to writing the ideas for selecting companies, the planning also includes a series of difficult professional knowledge such as calculation methods for different indexes, sampling methods, modeling and accounting methods. If you follow the normal process, it will only take a little bit of practical analysis to find out. Now Xia Yu can directly produce results in one step, which directly saves several years of exploring time. Sure enough, after Xia Yu planned these instructions to Clyde Albert, the latter was shocked, watching Xia Yu like a god. Later, following Xia Yu''s guidance and planning, the FTSE 100 index that resonated throughout the world was made. FTSE Index Co., Ltd. has become a world-class index calculation financial institution, and the Financial Times followed the world. Of course, this is a story. In fact, after talking to Clyde Albert that day, Xia Yu went back to prepare, because January 25th was the day when the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce reception was held! Chapter 544: Chinese Chamber of Commerce Cocktail Party Canary Wharf, London, Marriott Hotel! This is the best hotel of the Marriott Hotel Group in the UK and one of the top hotels in all London hotels. After Xia Yu arrived at the Marriott Hotel by car, he was guided to the parking lot by the vehicle guide. After getting off the car, Xia Yu saw that the entire parking lot was densely packed with vehicles, and new cars came in from time to time. After getting off the car, they were all Chinese with yellow skin and black hair, all dressed in bright clothes, showing the atmosphere of successful people. Obviously, these are Chinese entrepreneurs and their companions who came to the reception. When Li Qian got off the car and took Xia Yu''s hand, Xia Yu said softly: "Let''s go!" "Ok!" Then, Li Wuming took the invitation letter, followed Xia Yu and Li Qian, and walked towards the door of the hotel. "Sir, please go to the banquet hall on the second floor!" Walking to the door on the red carpet, Xia Yu saw four beautifully dressed courtesy ladies checking the invitation letter. After Li Wuming handed in, he confirmed the identity of Xia Yu and others. A courtesy lady bowed slightly for Xia. Yu specified the location. "Okay thank you!" After nodding and smiling, Xia Yu took Li Qian and Li Wuming up the stairs to the second floor. Before I went in, I heard the noisy noise coming from inside, obviously there were many people. Sure enough, after entering, I saw crowds of people inside. Many people were talking in twos and threes, but they looked at the door from time to time, for fear that the heavyweights would not know when they came. At this time, Wu Hongyi has already been there, because he is the young master of the Wu family, and he is also the president of the London Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. Although he is not a member of the board of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he is also a heavy man. Of course, the people around him a lot of. Because his Wu family is the general leader, Wu Hongyi came here early to entertain the guests. Seeing Xia Yu appear at this time, he immediately apologized to those around him, then smiled and walked towards Xia Yu with his head high. "Xia Yu, you are finally here!" "Miss Li, you are more beautiful today. When you come, the whole venue is a bit brighter." Wu Hongyi said enthusiastically. "Thank you!" Li Qian thanked him generously, and then stood quietly by playing with Xia Yu''s hand. "Isn''t it late?" Xia Yu smiled casually. "Of course it''s not too late. The cocktail party hasn''t started yet. Besides, you heavyweight, isn''t it a loss for you to come so early?" Wu Hongyi joked that he spoke very casually. He knew what kind of person Xia Yu was, so he didn''t worry about speaking wrongly and causing Xia Yu''s disgust. "Haha..." Wu Hongyi talked to Xia Yu enthusiastically, which naturally attracted the attention of a large number of people around him, especially the group of Chinese who had surrounded him just now, who was even more curious about Xia Yu''s identity and wanted to find out clearly. "Who is the person who is talking to Wu Hongyi? It seems that the relationship is unusual, and he is young. Is it an outstanding child of which family?" "I don''t know, I haven''t seen it. It stands to reason that with the current relationship between him and Wu Hongyi, his reputation should have spread long ago." ... Many people whispered, whispered, and kept guessing Xia Yu''s identity. Of course, there is one exception here. He knows the true identity of Xia Yu. He is Ye Huanrong, the boss of Rongyehang. At this moment, he was smiling, his heart was about to move, and he wanted to walk over to say hello to Xia Yu, but Wu Hongyi had already had a good time with Xia Yu, and he felt inappropriate. A Chinese man next to him saw Ye Huanrong''s strangeness, and leaned his head and asked: "Brother Ye, do you know these two handsome men and beauties? What''s their background?" Ye Huanrong glanced at him, and whispered to him: "It''s a big back, a dragon that crosses the Jiang Raptor, and the strength is not worse than the Wu family!" Xia Yu holds 30% of his equity in Rong Yeh. Ye Huanrong naturally wants to have a deep understanding of this partner. Because of that, his attitude towards Xia Yu has long changed and he has become very respectful. After all, what he has learned Jiuding is a company that looks like a giant to him. His Rongyexing didn''t deserve Xia Yu''s shoes. It''s no wonder that after Xia Yu became a shareholder, he arranged for the finance to come over, and no management personnel were installed. At that time, he was still in fear. Later, after learning about it, he found out that it turned out that he was thinking too much. "How do you know? Tell me well." The person next to Ye Huanrong asked with bright eyes. Ye Huanrong smiled faintly, and said to the person beside him: "He''s here!" He frowned. Sure enough, Wu Hongyi was shocked and the exchange with Xia Yu was over, and he was leading Xia Yu and others towards them. Ye Huanrong and others immediately stopped whispering and greeted Wu Hongyi and others with a smile. "Come, let me introduce you to a great man, my good friend, Xia Yu, who has just been here from Xiangjiang, this is his girlfriend, Miss Li." "By the way, he is now the second largest shareholder of our Huashang Bank!" Wu Hongyi said loudly, introducing Xia Yu to the people around him. "Hello everyone!" After Wu Hongyi''s introduction, Xia Yu said with a smile to everyone. "Hello Mr. Xia, welcome to England!" "Mr. Xia..." Everyone immediately said enthusiastically, and at the same time, they were secretly shocked. They did not expect Xia Yu to be the second largest shareholder of Huashang Bank. This identity is too important for them. "Mr. Xia, long time no see! Welcome to London again!" Ye Huanrong walked out of it and said with a smile, looking like an acquaintance. "Mr. Ye, it''s been a long time since I saw you. Last time I wanted to see you, but I heard that you went to France." Xia Yu took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with Ye Huanrong, and said with a smile. "That''s a shame!" "Mr. Xia, you are also the owner of Rongyehang. You must come over and have a look when you are free and give some pointers!" Ye Huanrong said with regret, and at the same time revealed his relationship with Xia Yu to the people around him. He also didn''t expect Xia Yu to succeed the second shareholder of Huashang Bank, but he was naturally more enthusiastic after learning about it. Although Xia Yu is strong, it is in Xiangjiang and it can''t help him. He doesn''t want Xia Yu more money, after all, the price will be shares. But now, Xia Yu has become the second largest shareholder of Huashang Bank. That is different. Through the partnership, he will have guaranteed funds in the future. This is definitely good news! "I don''t dare to give advice, but I will definitely check it out if I have time!" ... After Ye Huanrong''s greeting , he automatically gave way to give others a chance, so as not to attract hatred. Just as Xia Yu was chatting with other people and developing contacts, time gradually passed, more and more people arrived, and the entire venue became more noisy. "Xia Yu, my grandfather is out, it should be Ambassador Qian who is here, I''ll go there first!" Wu Hongyi was always paying attention to the changes around him. Suddenly, his eyes condensed, and he saw his grandfather Wu Chengde walking towards the entrance of the venue with a dragon-head cane. He looked at the entrance and found that it was Ambassador Qian and others, so he said to Xia Yu . "Oh?" Xia Yu followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure. It was the ambassador to the UK Qian Wenchao, but he did not expect him to come. "I''ll go with you, I have a good relationship with him!" Xia Yu said, walking together in Wu Hongyi''s somewhat surprised eyes, and walked towards Qian Wenchao. Chapter 545: Shock "Ambassador Qian, thank you for coming!" "Oh, President Wu, you have seen you outside. It is definitely a great regret in life to miss such a grand reception. It is our honor to receive your invitation!" When Wu Chengde and Qian Wenchao were touting each other, Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu came together. When almost everyone was discouraged, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi approached, naturally appearing to be very prominent. Qian Wenchao certainly noticed it. He squinted his head. When he saw Xia Yu, his eyes brightened and his smile became brighter. "Ambassador Qian, it is my grandson Hongyi and his friend Xia Yu." Wu Chengde took the opportunity to introduce, but he didn''t expect Xia Yu and Qian Wenchao to know each other, and they seemed to have a good relationship. "Mr. Ambassador, hello, this is Wu Hongyi!" "Ambassador Qian, it''s been a long time since I saw you. At this moment, you still have the same style!" "Mr. Wu, Mr. Xia, happy meeting!" Qian Wenchao took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Yu, especially when shaking hands with Xia Yu, he also increased his strength. Obviously he was very happy after seeing Xia Yu again. Although he had known that Xia Yu had come to London for a long time, Xia Yu did not take the initiative to come to him, nor did he have the right opportunity to invite Xia Yu, so it was the first time to meet at this time. "Mr. Xia, I wanted to talk to you for a long time, and I saw that you were too busy to disturb you. This time, thanks to Chairman Wu''s light, I have to have a good exchange." "Ambassador Qian, it''s my fault. I didn''t go to you when I came to London. I take this opportunity to apologize to you first." "Hey, you can''t say that. Career is more important. You can go to my place to sit and sit at any time, but some businesses can''t be delayed. For example, you bought the Financial Times, but it greatly improved my Chinese face. Congratulations!" Qian Wenchao said with emotion, looking at Xia Yu with admiration. Xia Yu''s acquisition of the Financial Times Group can conceal it from the general public, but cannot conceal it from people of a certain level, such as Qian Wenchao. And what he knew was quite deep. When he heard the news that Duke Howard greeted Xia Yu for help, Qian Wenchao deliberately learned about Elena and Henry who appeared next to Xia Yu, and was secretly shocked by the contacts Xia Yu suddenly acquired. Of course, after being shocked, there is joy from the heart. After all, this is very beneficial to Xia Yu, as can be seen from the acquisition of the Financial Times Group from the Pearson Group. And as he said, this behavior has greatly increased the face of Chinese people. This can be said to be an unprecedented achievement by the Chinese in the British media industry. With the Financial Times Group, Xia Yu''s influence will rapidly spread, which is extremely important for Xia Yu. Impact. Xia Yu is pro-Mainland, he has benefited, Qian Wenchao is of course happy for Xia Yu! "Ambassador Qian is right, Mr. Xia, your feat of acquiring the Financial Times Group has made the old man awake for days with excitement. You have done what we all British Chinese can''t do, and you have done so. Well, I can only admire this!" Wu Chengde also said admiringly at this moment. Of course, what he said was half-truth and half-false. He really couldn''t sleep, but not because he was excited for Xia Yu, but was shocked. He was shocked by Xia Yu''s achievements, as well as the connections and energy revealed. For this reason, his attitude towards Xia Yu quietly changed once again, and at the same time he asked Wu Hongyi to communicate with Xia Yu more and establish a good relationship. "Elder Wu, Ambassador Qian, I really don''t deserve your praise. It just happened to happen. I didn''t expect this to be acquired." ... Xia Yu first said something in a humble manner, and then began to deliberately change the topic. After all, the topic center has come to him now, and he has to pay attention to the suspicion of distracting guests. A small group of people such as Wu Chengde, Qian Wenchao, and Xia Yu were noticed by the people around them. Seeing Xia Yu talking with them, many people were secretly shaken, and they took the weight of Xia Yu that just appeared online again. Mentioned several grades. Then, Wu Chengde took Qian Wenchao, Xia Yu and others to the VIP table to take a seat. By this time, everyone was almost there, and it was close to the good day. It was time to start the ceremony. Wu Chengde arranged for Qian Wenchao and Xia Yu to be the top position of the VIP seats, located in the middle of the first row, and also thoughtfully arranged the two together. Xia Yu sat in such an important position, received such a special treatment, combined with the eye-catching age, naturally attracted the attention of the audience. Many people secretly inquired about Xia Yu''s information, and the insider immediately informed. Soon, more and more people knew about Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, you may be asked to come on stage to say a few words, talk about experience, and say a few blessings. What do you think?" After Xia Yu took his seat, Wu Hongyi quietly came to Xia Yu and whispered. Xia Yu was a little surprised, but seeing Wu Hongyi didn''t seem to be joking. Thinking of the various benefits of being on stage, he smiled and said gratefully: "No problem, let''s listen to your arrangements!" "Okay, I will notify you in advance when it''s about time!" Seeing Xia Yu''s promise, Wu Hongyi said with a smile, and then left to meet. Before the reception officially started, Xia Yu had nothing to do, so he chatted quietly with Qian Wenchao. "Mr. Xia, we haven''t seen each other for half a year by counting. Your career is getting bigger and bigger, and my knowledge is not less. But when it comes to doing business, I only admire you!" "Especially your achievements in the media industry are even more breathtaking. You are the only one who can do this through the ages!" Qian Wenchao touted Xia Yu. In fact, this is what he said in his heart. As a political elite, the ability to represent the United Kingdom, the second most powerful country in Europe and America, can be seen. How can he not know the influence of the media industry? The general media industry is an industry that can affect the political power in various countries, and the control is extremely strict. Xia Yu was able to establish a cartel in the media industry from the small area of ??Xiangjiang, and now he has successfully penetrated the UK. What is revealed here is too much. too much. Qian Wenchao can fully imagine the importance of Xia Yu in the minds of mainland executives. Although he has received the news that the country has set a path for economic development and needs foreign funds to invest in China, but the influence and importance of the media are more important than funds. He knows the extent to which China has been discredited in the world. The greater Xia Yu''s influence in the media industry is, the better it will be for China, and he can resolve the crisis at a critical moment. And this kind of advantage, only Xia Yu, a Chinese in the world, has no substitute. On the contrary, it is capital. Although it may be difficult, there are more objects to attract capital. Even if Xia Yu does not invest, there are others who will invest. Faced with Qian Wenchao¡¯s flattery, Xia Yu smiled indifferently and said: ¡°Ambassador Qian, this is actually a last resort. As large as a nation and a small company or individual, none of them can lose their right to speak out, so the media industry I have to do it, even if I lose money." "Unlike other people, they can make money in any industry. There is no need to be as persistent as I am. If they are willing to make a desperate investment in the media industry, they will have my turn." "Mr. Xia, you have always been so humble!" "But I agree with what you said. Since the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, China has received too much slander and unfair treatment. If there are ten people like you in the world, the media in Europe and the United States will not be too much. The external environment will be greatly improved!" Qian Wenchao was deeply moved. Thinking of the hardships and difficulties New China has encountered in the past few decades, he felt the deepest as a diplomat, but he was the most helpless. Xia Yu was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "Yes, unfair treatment and public opinion bullying are everywhere. After all, we have no countermeasures. If we have a certain strength, they dare not do whatever they want." "Ambassador Qian, I am a Chinese with my roots in Huaxia. Although for objective reasons, I cannot allow the media to turn to Huaxia, but I will at least be fair!" Qian Wenchao immediately opened his heart and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, it¡¯s enough to have you. My Huaxia has gone from being poor to the present. I am not lacking in energy and perseverance. I firmly believe that as long as there is a fair environment, I am a Chinese nation. Able to defeat all opponents! Do everything you want for yourself!" "Mr. Xia, I can''t do anything else. I can only wish your business bigger and bigger. If there is anything I can do, you can come to me at any time. I will never refuse!" Qian Wenchao''s words are extremely firm. This is his attitude, and it is also the attitude of China. It just coincides with the meeting, and it is only spoken by his mouth. As one of the few people who have a friendship with Xia Yu, and Xia Yu has come to the UK again, Qian Wenchao certainly knows some secret things specially informed by high-level officials. For example, Xia Yu has determined that he will go north, and now he has determined the time, which proves Xia Yu¡¯s The position is completely okay, so of course it is his own. There is no need to cover up many things when dealing with one''s own person. Qian Wenchao''s words made Xia Yu very satisfied. He moved in his heart and said to Qian Wenchao: "Ambassador Qian, I will visit you at the embassy after two days." Qian Wenchao''s eyes flashed, knowing that Xia Yu had something inappropriate to say here, so he planned to say it in person at that time, so he smiled and nodded immediately and said, "Then wait for the ride!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile, glanced at the big stage, and said softly: "The ceremony has begun." Qian Wenchao nodded and understood, stopped talking, and looked at the stage quietly. I saw a row of seats above, filled with people, and a name sign was placed in front of everyone, and Wu Chengde was sitting in the middle. At this time, there was a lecture stand beside the stage, and Wu Hongyi was standing there, obviously playing the role of host. "... Next, I would like to invite Mr. Wu Chengde, Chairman of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce, to address the opening of the Chamber of Commerce!" "Papa..." Amidst fierce applause, Wu Hongyi stepped off the stage and stood aside. Wu Chengde came to the seat of the lecture hall, bowed slightly to the audience, and then began to give a speech. "Hello everyone, first of all, please allow me to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders, guests and all members who are here in their busy schedule on behalf of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce Council!" "Papa..." "Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past year, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has achieved excellent results. Among them, 18 new members were developed. They are... According to statistics, the total assets of the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce exceeded 30 billion for the first time. Pound Sterling, the results are extremely gratifying...I hope that in the new year, everyone will continue to unite and cooperate, go hand in hand, and have a prosperous career. I sincerely wish that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will create more glories!" "30 billion pounds?" When Xia Yu heard the data mentioned by Wu Chengde, he moved in his heart and couldn''t help but recite the number silently. He didn''t expect the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce to have this strength, and he couldn''t help but impress him. Although it is not as strong as the strength of Hong Kong Chinese capital, considering the density and number of Chinese businessmen in the UK, this strength is already commendable! Of course, Xia Yu also knows that these 30 billion pounds refer to total assets, not net assets. The total assets of 30 billion pounds, excluding liabilities, etc., estimated that the net assets can be 5 billion pounds even if it is very high. But in this society, what is more important is how much resources can be controlled. What determines the influence is not net assets, but total assets. When calculating personal wealth, net assets are more important. "With a total assets of 30 billion pounds, if British Chinese businessmen can unite and form a Chinese-funded consortium with Chinese Commercial Bank as the core, the fighting capacity will definitely rise to a level. Although it cannot be said to compete with the major family consortia in the UK, self-protection will still not be possible. questionable!" Xia Yu thought to himself. There are already chambers of commerce. As long as the Huashang Bank is established as the core capital turnover bank of major Chinese-funded enterprises, the prototype of the consortium will automatically form. When an opportunity is found, the Chinese-funded consortium may be directly formed. "For me now, the Wu family can still help, but if it can¡¯t keep up, it will be useless sooner or later. In the UK, I need a reliable ally. The best thing is to promote the establishment of a Chinese consortium, and then become One of the important members." "It seems that I will have to talk to Hongyi later, as long as Wu Chengde knows, I don''t believe he is indifferent!" While Xia Yu was pondering, Wu Chengde did not know when he had stepped down, and replaced him with a vice chairman to give a report, telling his specific achievements and goals in the field of responsibility, and finally ended with a good outlook for the future. ... "Next, we will invite several important guests to the stage to give us speeches. First of all, let us invite Mr. Qian Wenchao, China''s Ambassador to the UK, welcome!" "Papa..." ... After Qian Wenchao came to power, Wu Hongyi came to Xia Yu and told him that Xia Yu would be him soon. Sure enough, after Qian Wenchao''s short three-minute speech, Wu Hongyi read the title of Xia Yu on it. Only this time, Wu Hongyi read it longer. "Next, let us invite an important guest. Many of the friends present should have heard of him for the first time. He is the chairman of Jiuding Culture Media Group, the chairman of Jiuding Financial Group, the chairman of Jiuding Property Group, and the chairman of Jiuding Real Estate Group from Xiangjiang. The chairman of the retail group and the second largest shareholder of China Commercial Bank, Mr. Xia Yuxia, let us warmly welcome!" After Wu Hongyi finished reading , he looked at Xia Yu and nodded with a smile. Xia Yu stood up with a smile, and walked into the lecture hall amidst whispers and shock. "I just went to Xiangjiang some time ago. I know who he is, the helm of the Jiuding Consortium, the well-known stock **** of Xiangjiang, who has defeated the Jardine Consortium for more than 100 years, a rare business prodigy in a century!" "You mean that the Jardine Consortium of the Far East British First Consortium was defeated by him? My God, it seems that the Jardine Consortium is much better than the Wu family. Doesn''t that mean that none of us is richer than him?" "Tsk tsk, it''s hard to imagine. It seems that he is an important guest, and he is also the second largest shareholder of Huashang Bank. It seems that the Wu family has an extraordinary relationship with him, and the strength of the Wu family is stronger." "I have achieved such an achievement at a young age. Compared to him, I feel like I am living as a dog. I don''t know if he has any ideas in the future. It would be nice if he had some hard stuff. See if I can learn something. " Not to mention the following, even the eight or nine directors of the strongest Chinese Chamber of Commerce on the stage looked sideways, looking at Xia Yu who came up calmly and calmly, and then at Wu Chengde with a smile on his mouth, each thoughtful. . ... v2 Chapter 1: This new book! The realm of Saint Ten, even ordinary Saint-tier powerhouses, such as Mordekaiser and others, cannot easily be broken through, let alone her Frost Witch Lisandro! Li Sangzhuo is very satisfied with the masterpiece in front of him. At most, no more than ten seconds. The Demon King Wu Wenxu will follow his army and sink into the ice gravel. At that time, there will be more in the ice palace. There are many elegant ice sculpture artworks. Please search to see the most complete! of Speaking of it, the fellow Aatoks even advised himself not to make a move, so as not to stun the snake, even the things that are not the holy order, will she still miss Lisantuo? This continent, it has been too long since I have seen my own power. The horror of her Frost Witch Li Sang Zhuo has been frozen for a long time! Lisangzhuo smiled triumphantly, and her horrible laughter was wafting everywhere in the biting wind. What a perverted and evil smile, the world in the sanctuary must be completely accompanied by her laughter. The fall in another latitude. Li Sangzhuo smiled more and more satisfied, and suddenly there was a tendency to restrain. She snorted coldly, her white hair dancing, splashing like white ink in the sky and the earth, it was heart-palpiting. "How young is Xiao Xiao, dare to break into the sanctuary of the deity?" In the chaotically collapsed ice field, the countless rolling ice particles seem to pause as if they were still. Wu Wenxu¡¯s palms supported the smoothie, and his neck was already swollen to seep bleeding. Facing this sudden stillness, he took some measures instead. Unprepared. "Stop... stopped?" Se Zhuangni''s face is like white paper, and even if her wild but delicate face is half soaked in the ice, she still has the sweat of the rest of her life. Looking around, in just three seconds, one hundred thousand army, three layers have been completely swallowed by ice particles! The realm of the holy ranks, killing 30,000 elites in the blink of an eye, this is the terror of holy ten! "Are we saved?" Longmeier Linglongyi felt lucky, even though he was wise close to the demon, in front of this absolute power, no matter how great his wisdom was, he couldn''t reverse it. Fortunately, God didn''t want to take him so quickly. Li Sangzhuo raised her hand that was glaring like ice crystals, and her smooth hand surface continuously released waves of magic circles. She stood in the highest sky, looking high at the people in the sub-latitude space, her expression increasingly disgusted. "The deity seems to smell the stench of a sewer rat." "Sewer, isn''t that the stench from your body?" In the still and frozen world, slightly distorted, and then, a body of Miaoman actually tore the space and stepped out of the mirror-like shattered nothingness. When Wu Wenxu saw the beautiful shadow, his pupils suddenly contracted. "Are you surprised to see me?" The woman with romantic purple hair smiled at the lord. I have to say, her **** red lips curled up, even at this moment of life and death, they are still very moving. At least for this moment, in this picture, no one would consider her true age, and even the interracial lizard people were captured by her smile. "you¡­¡­" Lord Lord opened his mouth just now, when the woman put up onion fingers, and interrupted with a shush. "I said that this trip to Freiljod was for the purpose of finding that woman afterwards." Wu Wenxu couldn''t feel the magic in her body. She seems to be transparent. However, such a light posture, precisely because of her absolute power, completely rejected the power of Li Sang Zhuo''s sanctuary. On a certain level, she at this moment is even vaguely better than Li Sang Zhuo! Li Sangzhuo has been staring at the woman from beginning to end, her complexion is already very ugly. "The magic demon Ji Le Fulan." "You defeated general, a withered rose that should be buried in the sewer, how dare you catch the tail and disturb the deity?!" "The defeated man?" LeBlanc still chuckled slightly. Just below her azure orange eyes, two crescent-like purple patterns began to derive inward, and a kind of ancient magical power appeared, reflecting her two crescent eyebrows. , Unspeakable evil and ghostly. She smiled, her eyebrows suddenly twisted! Le Bran confided coldly: "A trash who stole the power of my holy rank, a despicable villain who relied on the three envoys of the Shadow Island to defeat me, dare to call himself the deity in front of me, it is extremely interesting." "She is LeBlanc?" Sejuani stared at the beautiful woman in shock. She had long heard of LeBlanc¡¯s great name, once the leader of Valoran¡¯s most reputed underground organization, Black Rose, almost overturned Noxus and became the super existence of the Lord of Noxus, and it was once one of the Saint Ten. . ¥¡ÐÂ¥ä~¢à~1~ÖÐÎÄÍø¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö~¢¸~1z§ë.c¨°§Þ I just don¡¯t know why this legendary character later disappeared without a trace, and was even removed from the League of Legends. "Li Sandra, I have been looking for you for a long time." The magic demon Ji Le Fulan waved, and a deep purple wand slowly emerged from the cracked space. The appearance of this wand further disrupted the magic of the sub-latitude domain. Wu Wenxu clearly felt that the ice particles that bound him became loose. It collapsed a lot, and the lord suddenly jumped into the air. The two sides of this wand must be epic runes carved by skilled craftsmen. In the center of the horn-like structure, there is a purple gem floating, and the thrilling magic power is released from it. The Frost Witch Li Sandra is also a character who has lived for many years. How could she not notice that LeBlanc, who was beaten back to the level of the Magister by her and sealed by the Third Shadow Island Envoy, not only returned to the holy rank, but also had much more magical power than before! But she was shocked from the bottom of her heart. The seal of the Three Shadow Envoys, according to the truth, no one in this world can unlock it, even if it can unlock , only... Li Sangzhuo suddenly had a very bad idea in her heart. "You, so you are from Malzaha?" Void Prophet Malzaha, besides him who is good at sealing and unsealing, Valoran¡¯s strongest existence, who else can help get her sorcery demon Ji LeBlanc? "It''s an old woman who has lived so long." Li Sangzhuo''s words made the lord feel bewildered. The famous Black Rose leader is actually Malzaha''s subordinate? Then the trip to the ice field... Le Fulan seemed to read the doubt from Wu Wenxu''s eyes, and smiled: "However, from lurking in the Cursed Icefield to become the Eight Heavenly Kings and gaining the position of the Heart of Darkness, to thirty miles from the dead world, that was just an arrangement for me. That¡¯s all." "Furthermore, the destruction of the black rose was also a dark chess that was destroyed because of his needs." "Wu Wenxu, adults value you very much, so you are not that easy to die." Le Fulan''s conversation turned, and then outlined the corners of Li Sangzhuo''s lips, clearly raising a fierce arc. "So..." "Li Sandra, the Frost Witch, please come to my sanctuary and have fun with me, in order to repay you for the hospitality of Shadow Island." :..2424805 only represents the author''s opinion of the demon king of the moon, if the content is found to violate the national laws, please delete it. The position is only to provide a healthy and green reading platform. ,thank you all! v2 Chapter 546: Chinese Business Consortium "Today I am honored to be able to participate in the reception of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and to recognize the Chinese hero who shines in a foreign country." "Chairman Wu mentioned that the assets of the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have exceeded 30 billion pounds. This figure shocked me." "At that time, I was thinking that if all the elites of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce can unite and cooperate with one heart to compete with major British companies, there will be absolutely no disadvantage!" "Maybe some bosses have business dealings with Xiangjiang and have learned some of my information. Then they should know that British-owned companies headed by the four major consortia, including the Jardine Consortium and the Taikoo Consortium, rely on the advantages of policies to ramp up in Xiangjiang, but When our Chinese capital united, the strongest Jardine consortium was dismembered." "Today, the overall strength of your Chamber of Commerce has surpassed our strength at the time. Although the strength of the major British consortia is far better than the Jardine consortium, I believe that my descendants will not lose to anyone in terms of hard work and talent!" ¡­¡­ "Here I sincerely wish that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is developing with each passing day, and all the bosses that are doing business are prospering! All the best!" "Thank you!" "Papa Papa......" After speaking briefly, Xia Yu bowed down, and then walked off the podium amid fierce applause. Xia Yu''s remarks, and the information revealed, shocked and thoughtful of many people present. Especially the grandsons of Wu Chengde and Wu Hongyi both thought secretly. After a series of procedures were over, the party¡¯s own social time began, and Xia Yu suddenly became one of the stars of the party. There was a steady stream of people coming to exchange knowledge with Xia Yu. Xia Yu was good at dancing with long sleeves and had a decent conversation with everyone. Have a great chat. Before he knew it, he found his pockets full of business cards of various colors. Such a great platform with strong connections, Xia Yu, of course, has to make full use of it. Anyway, there is nothing important, so he persisted until the end of the game. Just when he was about to leave, Wu Hongyi walked over again and whispered to him: "Xia Yu, please wait a moment, my grandpa wants to talk to you." "Oh? Okay!" Xia Yu was a little curious, followed Wu Hongyi into a room and found Wu Chengde with a tired face and his housekeeper sitting inside. Seeing Xia Yu coming in, Wu Chengde lifted his spirits and stood up to welcome Xia Yu. But seeing that Wu Chengde was a little unsteady, he was obviously unwell. Xia Yu didn''t stand up, walked quickly, and shook hands with Wu Chengde: "Master Wu, sit down!" "Xia Yu, my grandpa is in poor health, so please forgive me!" Wu Hongyi explained. "It''s okay, it''s okay, I understand, the body matters!" Xia Yu said quickly, and sat down with Wu Hongyi. "Mr. Xia, I asked Hony to ask you to stay temporarily, mainly because I want to ask you something." Wu Chengde smiled gratefully, cheered up and said to Xia Yu. "please say!" "I want to ask you if you are interested in joining the Chinese Chamber of Commerce? I can be your recommender. I believe that everyone knows about you today and will definitely welcome you to join with your hands. Now it mainly depends on your wishes. ." After Wu Chengde finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu scorchingly. Xia Yu was very surprised, but was tempted, he asked, "I am a Hong Kong businessman, can I join the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce?" Wu Chengde hasn¡¯t said yet, but Wu Hongyi replied: ¡°Xia Yu, the entry standard of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is to do business in the UK. Your Bright Fund is a British enterprise, plus you are the second shareholder of the Chinese Commercial Bank. Not qualified, who is qualified?" "You can join, it should be a little help for you!" Xia Yu looked at Wu Hongyi, then looked at Wu Chengde, who was expectant, and nodded with a smile: "Then I will be disrespectful, Mr. Wu, I want to trouble you!" Thinking of his previous ideas about the British Chinese Consortium, Xia Yu certainly would not refuse such a good opportunity. After entering the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he is their own person, and many things are free from constraints, which is very beneficial to him. "No trouble, no trouble, with your joining, the strength of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will rise to a higher level. It is an honor for us all!" Wu Chengde laughed openly, happy from the heart for Xia Yu''s promise. "Mr. Xia, I will trouble you to wait a few more days. Then I will prepare the membership procedure. I will have to wait for you some time." "Yes, just notify me then, as long as there is no emergency, it will definitely happen!" ¡­¡­ After a few words of courtesy, Xia Yu saw that there were no outsiders except for the Wu family''s grandparents and the Wu family''s housekeeper. He pondered for a moment and felt that he could come up with his ideas and test the Wu family''s attitude. "Master Wu, take the liberty to ask, is it difficult for our Chinese businessmen to do business in the UK?" Xia Yu asked. Wu Chengde''s old brows trembled, and he did not hide: "It is indeed very big. No matter how hard we Chinese people try to integrate into the British society, but because of the difference in skin color, we are still subject to overt and secret resistance and suppression, such as some important industries, such as minerals. , Petroleum, heavy industry, public utilities and other industries, let alone whether they have the strength to enter, even if they step into a foot, they will still be squeezed out." "Although the total assets of the members of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce have reached 30 billion pounds, they are basically limited to the retail, catering, small real estate, service industry, trading industry, finance and other fields, and internal competition pressure is very high. Hey... ¡­" After hearing it, Xia Yu felt like this in his heart, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Then Mr. Wu, it seems that what I said before is correct. Now the most important thing for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is to twist all the members into a rope. Eliminate internal friction as much as possible and concentrate on exploring new areas. Otherwise, these industries will be restricted, and the market will be so big, and it will be the same as the competition. It is difficult to become a big climate!" Wu Chengde heard what Xia Yu meant. His eyes condensed and became very sharp. He looked straight at Xia Yu, and said in a deep voice, "What is your opinion, Mr. Xia?" "Father Wu, I just visited an island country not long ago and learned a few things. I personally feel that the island country¡¯s consortium model has great advantages. Many times, companies in Europe and the United States that can be pressured in a certain field can¡¯t breathe. The capital consortium has taken shape, with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Commercial Bank." "As long as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is fully utilized and the sole core position of Huashang Bank is established, it may not be possible to unify the powerful Chinese businessmen in the UK to form the only Chinese business consortium in the UK and Europe." "At that time, you will be eligible to draw cakes. Even if you don''t eat a lot, you are still eligible, isn''t it? It''s better than scattered strength and restricted to a small pond." Xia Yu said, ignoring Wu Chengde''s greatly changed face, and stared at him until he was finished. Not to mention Wu Chengde, even Wu Hongyi who had been sitting next to him, following Xia Yu''s words, his heart thumped wildly, his face flushed. "I didn''t expect Xia Yu to have such ambitions. I don''t know if it was right or wrong to introduce him into the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Could it be to lead a wolf into the room?" Wu Chengde''s thoughts are messy, and he thinks about bad things. Even though he is more than 70 years old, he is still excited by what Xia Yu said. Of course he knows the power of the six major consortiums of the island country. Even if he was dismembered by the United States because of the defeat, decades later, he relied on the system. The superiority of the company is still rising rapidly, and it dares to compete internationally with major consortia in the world. According to Xia Yu''s statement, the Chinese business consortium would really be possible to set up. When the time comes, it will be strong, and it may not really be able to take a share in those profitable industries. is just what Xia Yu mentioned. Obviously he has this idea. This is somewhat contrary to Wu Chengde''s position. He doesn''t want the British Chinese businessmen to be controlled by Xia Yu. There are multiple emperors in the Wu family. How is he willing? Seeing Wu Chengde''s silence, Xia Yu guessed what he was worried about, so he smiled and said: "Master Wu, in the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce, you have the highest prestige and serve as the chairman of the board." "And the Chinese Commercial Bank was founded by Hony''s father. Now the Wu family has the largest shareholding. The Wu family is the strongest among the Chinese capital in the UK. If the Chinese business consortium is to be established, the Wu family will undoubtedly take the lead. By then, the Wu family will naturally be the leader. , I believe that the benefits should not be less, it is better than now." Wu Chengde remained silent, but his deep gaze met Xia Yu, Xia Yu looked calm and seemed to have a clear conscience. looked at his grandson Wu Hongyi, and found that his face was serious, but his expression in a trance showed that he was shocked by Xia Yu''s words. He changed his mind, and for a long time, Wu Chengde directly pointed out and said: "Mr. Xia, I don''t think it is profitable to be too early to say that this sentence is right. You urged our Wu family to come forward and establish a Chinese consortium. What do you want?" Xia Yu looked calm and bluntly said: "Master Wu, I agree with what you said. Things that do not benefit will not last long. I do have what I want, but I will not lose the interests of the Wu family. The benefits can be said to be a win-win situation!" "First, to establish a Chinese-funded consortium, China Commercial Bank must be established as the only core bank for Chinese-funded companies in the UK. As a result, the strength of China Commercial Bank will rapidly expand. As the second largest shareholder, I will certainly benefit from this. As the largest shareholder, I will only benefit more than me." "Secondly, Xiangjiang is too small. I always want to come to the UK to develop, but I need a significant ally. You are right. Our skin color determines that we are naturally resisted. If we want to succeed, the effort we need to make is The number of whites is several times or even ten times. Not only does the British Chinese businessmen need to hold a group to compete, but I, an outsider, also needs a group to get a firm foothold. After all, foreigners can¡¯t rely on it, but to be honest, the current British Chinese, including The Wu family, including the Wu family, can give me limited help. Master Wu, you should know that cooperation must be reciprocal for long-term cooperation!" "Third, if Mr. Wu, you are worried about my idea of ??launching a Chinese business consortium, it is not necessary. I have my own business. Compared with the scattered Chinese business consortium, I prefer my own business and will not compete with your Wu family! " Speaking of this, seeing Wu Chengde with a heavy face, but no longer looking at him aggressively, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and spoke again. "Furthermore, Mr. Wu, you should also be very clear about the nature of this society. After all, strength is supreme. If you sit in that position, you will face the coveting of countless people, both outside and inside. As long as you have strength, you can sit in prison. Keep your position. If you are not strong enough, you will eventually be ousted. You can''t be shy away from the risks that may arise in the future." "Anyway, the establishment of a Chinese consortium will benefit the Wu family the most. It depends on your Wu family''s ability to eat as much as possible." "Furthermore, you have to have confidence in Hony. In the entire British Chinese-owned enterprises and families, who of the same age can surpass him?" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu felt that everything that should be said had already been said, and the rest was up to Wu Chengde''s fascination, so he kept silent and let him think about the pros and cons. Looking at his watch, Xia Yu stood up and said to Wu Chengde and Wu Hongyi: "Master Wu, Hongyi, it is getting late. My girlfriend is still outside waiting for me to go back. I will leave first and talk again when I have time. !" "Okay, then you go slowly!" "Hongyi, send Mr. Xia off!" After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu decisively left, after sending Xia Yu, Wu Hongyi returned here again. has been waiting for more than ten minutes. Seeing that his grandfather has been concentrating on his eyebrows, Wu Hongyi''s lips squirmed and wanted to speak, but he was worried about disturbing his grandfather''s thinking. In fact, after listening to Xia Yu''s words, Wu Hongyi was really moved. His reason told him that if Xia Yu''s proposal was realized, it would be of great benefit to the Wu family. Although it is undeniable that Xia Yu will get the benefits, and even secretly gain other benefits, he believes that the Wu family can get the benefits, and Xia Yu''s advice is deserved. At this time, Wu Chengde shook his head slightly, exhaled for a long time, and recovered. looked at his grandson Wu Hongyi, Wu Chengde''s eyes narrowed, he sensed that his grandson was tempted. It was only Xia Yu''s words that woke him up. He was already old and could not be in charge of the Wu family for long. In the end, the Wu family had to be handed over to Wu Hongyi. And Wu Hongyi is definitely the best among all British Chinese-owned families. He is not worried about Wu Hongyi''s failure. If the establishment of a Chinese business consortium can be promoted, whether in terms of strength or prestige, or the identity of the promoter, the Wu family will undoubtedly become a member of the Chinese business consortium, and the benefits the Wu family will receive will be unparalleled. For example, with the strength of the Wu family, Wu Chengde could not squeeze into the upper echelons of the United Kingdom, but if he came forward as the head of the Chinese business consortium, people who had previously ignored him would definitely face him and have equality. Opportunities for communication, many times there are business opportunities! But Wu Chengde still wants to hear the views of his grandson, after all, the Wu family will eventually be handed over to Wu Hongyi, who is the future head of the Wu family. "Hongyi, what do you think of Xia Yu''s proposal?" Wu Chengde asked with concern. Wu Hongyi thought for a while, and said calmly: "Grandpa, if we can take the lead in the establishment of the Chinese-funded consortium, our Wu family can definitely get huge benefits. That''s for sure." "I know you are worried about Xia Yu''s unruly heart. After that, I will occupy the magpie''s nest, control the Chinese business consortium, and let the Wu family do things for him But I don''t think it is important. There is something he said. I very much agree that this world speaks of strength after all. If our Wu family is not strong, we will forcefully continue to sit in that position without moving, and our morality is not worthy, it is impossible to guarantee that we will not be kicked." "If he has the ability to control the Chinese-funded consortium, then he should be controlled, because at that time his strength is definitely far more than our Wu family, how about our Wu family doing things for him?" "On the contrary, I am worried that without the Chinese business consortium, the Wu family''s strength is not developing fast enough, and then he will not even have the qualifications to be admired by him. That would be a sad thing!" "In this world, unless we stand in the first place in the world, there will eventually be people standing on our heads. Whoever stepped on them is not stepped on. As long as our strength can grow and stand to a higher level, the people who step on us will less." Wu Chengde was shocked by Wu Hongyi''s words. He stared at his grandson in a daze, as if he didn''t expect him to be this way. For a long time, Wu Chengde laughed loudly: "Okay, I still don''t see my grandson as much as I can, and the Wu family will leave it to you, I''m relieved, haha..." "Just do what you said, it''s up to you to come forward, and grandpa will be your backing one last time!" Wu Hongyi was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded heavily in response: "Grandpa, I won''t let you down!" "I believe my grandson is not bad..." Https:// Genius this site address:. Mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 547: Smooth wind (); Xia Yu can''t control how Wu''s grandfather and grandson think, but he can probably guess one or two. Having been with Wu Hongyi for so long, Xia Yu also understood what kind of essence he was. Wu Chengde is always suspicious, but his grandson Wu Hongyi does not have so much baggage. His thinking is not fixed and his considerations will be more realistic. In fact, Wu Hongyi really probably guessed Xia Yu''s mind, or the worst plan he made was exactly the same as Xia Yu''s mind. To promote the Wu family to take the lead in integrating the British Chinese capital to establish a Chinese business consortium, Xia Yu must get the benefits, whether it is the existing benefits or the future benefits, he wants it. If it wasn''t for the fact that he didn''t have such a network and prestige, how could Xia Yu want to encourage the Wu family to come forward? To know that in any organization, the difference between founder and successor is big! However, Xia Yu is also confident that as long as the Chinese business consortium can be established smoothly, he has a way to penetrate and use it for himself. Even if the Chinese Business Consortium is established, it is still a small and medium-sized consortium in the UK. If this cannot be won, what other island consortium''s idea will he play? As long as you firmly hold the equity of Huashang Bank, the threshold will be there. As long as you use big capital to attack, he will not believe that the Wu family can withstand it, nor that other Chinese enterprises can withstand it! As for the depth of control, it depends on the value of the Chinese business consortium. It depends on the situation! It''s useless to think so much now. The key is to see whether the Wu family can do anything about it and whether it can lead the establishment of a Chinese business consortium. If it can''t be established, think about it for nothing. ... After leaving the Marriott Hotel, Xia Yu went to Jumbo Pavilion along the road. As soon as he got there, he saw a small truck parked at the door of Jumbo Pavilion. Mr. Hua was instructing the workers to carefully lift boxes from the car. The bottom of the box is also covered with a thick layer of white foam. "Mr. Xia, why are you here!" Seeing Xia Yu, Li Qian and others walking by, Hua Shengshi immediately smiled. "Just on the way, just come and have a look, old man, is this?" Xia Yu said with a smile, and then looked at the box carried by the workers in confusion. Huashengshi immediately became red, with a sense of accomplishment and happiness on his face, and said happily: "I bought all the Chinese cultural relics in his collection from a baron¡¯s house. There are 968 pieces in total. Now this is the third car. The two cars are now in the inner hall, Mr. Xia, are you going to see it?" Xia Yu laughed, feeling very good about this achievement: "Of course I have to go and see, appreciate your achievements, Mr. Hua!" Hua Shengshi nodded cheerfully, and said to his apprentice: "Ade, , You are watching here, let them be careful, I and Mr. Xia go in. " "Good master!" "Come on, Mr. Xia, please follow me!" After speaking, Hua Shengshi took Xia Yu and others to the hall. As soon as Xia Yu entered, Xia Yu saw a corner filled with sealed boxes. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of them, and the way up the stairs was almost blocked. "Mr. Xia, I have taken a small part upstairs, and most of it has not been taken out." As Hua Shengshi said, he walked to a pile of boxes, opened a box in front of him, and uncovered the wooden lid, revealing an exquisite porcelain. The porcelain was a round-mouthed bottle with a diameter of about 30 cm. The diameter of the box is smaller, and a lot of foam is stuffed in the space of the box to prevent collisions. Xia Yu appreciated it for a moment, and then asked, "Old Hua, these are all going to be opened and put upstairs? Can you put it down?" Hearing Xia Yu''s question, Hua Shengshi smiled bitterly and said quickly: "There are more than nine hundred cultural relics. There is no way to take them out and put them out in the original way. Now we just move them back first." "Mr. Xia, can you find a place to store cultural relics, otherwise it will affect subsequent acquisitions. It is too unsafe to find a warehouse at random." Xia Yu moved in his heart and said relaxedly: "Then move all the antiques to the manor where I live now. I still have a lot of empty houses and unused basements. Then I will find a way to transport them back to Xiangjiang. ." "Now don''t let them unload the cargo anymore, just take it to my manor." Xia Yu suggested. Huashengshi immediately agreed happily: "Okay, there are at least three cars in the back. I will ask them not to unload the goods." After speaking, Huashengshi hurriedly went out and asked them to stop unloading. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu didn''t linger anymore, and directly loaded Huashengshi, and then took the antique truck to his manor. Soon, Xia Yu returned home and took Hua Shengshi to familiarize himself with the environment, especially the room and basement that Xia Yu singled out as an antique storage room. The place is certain, Huashengshi did not waste time, and quickly directed the workers to get busy, as if there was endless enthusiasm in them. On the same day, in addition to this antique car, another car was pulled over and filled half of the room. Hua Sheng Shi was left at home for dinner by Xia Yu, and then the driver sent him back. There was nothing for a night, and the next morning, Xia Yu returned to Guangming Fund to continue working. Still interviewing elite talents. Sitting in the interview office, Xia Yu had just finished interviewing an applicant, just had a sip of tea, and removed the interview. When the information of the person who had finished revealing the information of the next person, Xia Yu almost thought that he had read it wrong. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the interviewer who had just entered. He raised his head and looked over. He almost spouted tea. . Seeing Elena sitting down with a standard smile, dressed in formal attire and giving a fresh and beautiful feeling, and formally presented her resume to her, Xia Yu was a little surprised and asked uncertainly: "Elena , What are you?" Elena still kept smiling and replied solemnly: "Hello, I''m here to apply!" Seeing Elena still answering formally, Xia Yu couldn''t laugh or cry. He glanced at Elena''s resume in his hand. After confirming that he was not twins, Xia Yu leaned on the chair, stretched his hands, and asked casually: "Okay. Well, Elena, the interview has been temporarily suspended. Why did you come to my company to apply? This is completely beyond my expectation!" Seeing that Xia Yu was not going to interview, Elena was helpless, she could only restore her friend''s mentality, blinked her big eyes and looked at Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, your company has issued a recruitment announcement, and it has not explicitly allowed me to apply for it, right? ?" Xia Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It is true that there is no, but Elena, your family has many companies. There is no need to come to work in our company, right? Bright Fund is a small company. There is nothing outstanding, right?" Xia Yu bluntly pointed out Elena¡¯s background. Elena was not surprised, but showed a beautiful smile and calmly explained: "Xia Yu, I don¡¯t plan to go to work in my family¡¯s company. I will graduate from college this year. The internship arranged by my supervisor was arranged by me to find a company for internship. I came to London to find a company that can exercise my abilities. After my observation, I found that your company can give me performance and exercise. Space, so I came to apply." "And I work here with you, I can take care of my brother better, you know, my brother comes to your company every day, and he doesn''t even listen to my sister''s words, so there is no way, it is better to work in your company! " "You don''t need to worry about the embarrassment between us. Although you are my boss during get off work, we are still friends after work. Don''t even think about being my boss after get off work!" At the end, Elena blinked playfully, half joking and half telling the truth. Xia Yu laughed dumbly, but his heart was ready to move. Recruiting Elena as an employee is of great benefit to him. Elena''s existence is a bridge that connects him with the Howard family. There will definitely be opportunities to deepen the relationship in the future, which is greatly beneficial to his series of plans. And he also wants to put Elena in the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars acquisition team. With Elena''s background, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of the acquisition. Xia Yu is not worried about Elena saying it out. For example, telling Xia Yu about the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company to her father, Carter Howard knew better, because Xia Yu never planned to acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Company in the first place. Not realistic! He must get people to buy together, and the Howard family is undoubtedly a quality partner. Therefore, during this period, Elena often brought her brother Henry to the company. Xia Yu did not deliberately evade, even deliberately let her know that Elena now knew Xia Yu was planning to acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Of course, with such a beautiful British girl as her employee, I believe that as long as she is a normal man, she will be welcome! Xia Yu and Elena looked at each other for a while, and then asked seriously: "Elena, are you sure you want to come to work in our company?" Elena smiled softly: "Of course, I know that you are acquiring Rolls-Royce Motor Company. It is undeniable that it is very difficult. I want to participate. I think if the challenge is successful, this is to give my teacher a very A good answer can also draw a perfect end to my college career." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he should make things clear first, so as not to have to do it with Elena''s friends. "Elena, of course I welcome you to join, but I think there are some things I want to tell you clearly. If you are still willing to apply, then I welcome you 100%." "Go ahead!" Elena still smiled, her beautiful eyes looked at Xia Yu calmly. "If you join the project team to acquire Rolls-Royce, then I will definitely put you in an important position and give you a good opportunity to exercise, but I also have plans to draw on your family background." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked straight at Elena, raising a heart slightly. Elena has always kept a sweet smile. For a long time, she smiled like a flower: "Xia Yu, you are very honest and did not deceive me. I am very happy!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded slightly, waiting for Elena to follow. I saw Elena smile very freely and naturally: "If I can help you, then I will be happy, and you don¡¯t have to worry about me thinking too much, because a person living in this society cannot get rid of The stigma that I wear at birth is also where a person¡¯s value lies. I don¡¯t stick to personal abilities narrowly and paranoidly.¡± "Isn''t it a very important ability to be able to communicate reasonably and make full use of all your own advantages to accomplish your goals?" "What a smart girl!" Hearing Elena¡¯s words, Xia Yu secretly said in her heart, her eyes full of appreciation. He didn¡¯t expect Elena to have a beautiful appearance, her IQ and temperament are not bad, Huizhilan Just like that! Since Elena has no opinion, Xia Yu has no scruples. Xia Yu stood up and stretched out his hand to Elena, smiled and said, "Elena, you are welcome to join!" "My honor! Handsome boss!" Elena also stood up, stretched out her slender hand to hold Xia Yu together, and said with her beautiful eyes winking playfully. "Haha..." ... ps: Book friends, I am the author Huang Laoshi. I recommend a free novel app that supports novel downloads, listening to books, zero ads, and multiple reading modes. Please pay attention to the WeChat official account (upper right corner of WeChat \"+\"->Add friend->Select official account->) Input: (long press for three seconds to copy) Book friends, hurry up and pay attention! Elena''s application can be said to be the biggest surprise since applying. Although in terms of ability, Elena, who is about to graduate from college, is definitely not as good as those old fritters in the workplace, but in terms of the value to the Rolls-Royce acquisition plan, Elena definitely ranks first. Therefore, Xia Yu directly appointed Elena as the deputy leader of the acquisition team so that she could fully participate. As for the position of the team leader of the acquisition team, Xia Yu did not intend to show up, and George Berkeley was still in charge. From beginning to end, Xia Yu took over the acquisition team of Rolls-Royce Motor Company only to build the acquisition team by himself. The focus was on the team''s personnel collocation and division of labor, as well as the construction of the system. He was not led by him. If George Berkeley is not available, Xia Yu may come by himself. However, the Financial Times Group has already acquired the remaining 50 shares of The Economist magazine. The acquisition is very smooth and is already under negotiation. Not to mention the "Daily Telegraph". The negotiation was very harmonious. With Xia Yu''s repeated instructions, George Berkeley no longer struggled with the purchase price. He has negotiated a wholly-owned transfer of 13 million pounds with Black. For this price, Black is very satisfied, so now the acquisition has come to an end, I believe that soon Xia Yu will have a national newspaper again. Xia Yu''s journey as a media tycoon will go one step further! Because the acquisition went well, George Berkeley had been liberated from UU reading . Of course, Xia Yu had to bear the burden on him. Of course, the position of leader of the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition team fell to him. In this regard, George Berkeley was rather motivated and devoted himself to his work with passion. Of course, before George Berkeley took over, Xia Yu also specifically handed him over to the office, and named one of his three deputy Elena''s background and importance. George Berkeley immediately understood and added a few more to the acquisition plan in his mind. Sub-expectations. Things about the Guangming Fund just said it was easier. Unexpectedly, Wu Hongyi found Xia Yu again, but Xia Yu was very interested in Wu Hongyi''s affairs, because Wu Hongyi was for the establishment of a Chinese business consortium proposed by Xia Yu! Wu Hongyi came to learn from Xia Yu! This is in the heart of Xia Yu!

I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", WeChat follow "" to read novels, chat about life, and find friends~ v2 Chapter 548: Make suggestions "Xia Yu, you are here, please sit down!" Hearing the footsteps coming from the door, Wu Hongyi, who was still frowning and contemplating, woke up instantly. He raised his head to follow the prestige. When he saw Xia Yu, he immediately smiled, got up and left his seat and came to the tea table. "What? Seeing you frowning, where did you encounter difficulties?" Xia Yu sat down unceremoniously and asked with a smile. After Wu Hongyi poured the boiling water into the teapot, he sighed, smiled slightly, glanced at Xia Yu, and bluntly said: "What else can it be? It''s about the Chinese business consortium you mentioned. You just ran away after talking. I didn''t sleep well all night, so I was thinking about it!" Xia Yu chuckled, and said in his heart that the Wu family had taken the bait, but he said: "Hongyi, where are you encountering difficulties? I must know all the answers!" "Then I''ll talk straight." Wu Hongyi thought for a while, it seemed that he was still a little unreliable, and said again. "After you said yesterday, my grandfather thought it was feasible, but because he was not in good health, he gave me the full authority to do this, and this pressure came!" "Let me connect the entire Chinese Entrepreneur Association. I believe that besides the background of my family, I can''t do it in terms of personal connections or prestige. It is very difficult!" "One more thing, although you said that it can be based on the model of the island country consortium, I don¡¯t know much about this thing. It¡¯s too slow to research from scratch, and some things are secret. come out." "So now I have a big head, no clue, I can only ask you for help! I can have a direction!" Speaking of this, Wu Hongyi''s face showed a look of distress again. "And you are also a shareholder of Huashang Bank. If you can succeed at that time, you will also be a member of the Huashang Consortium. You can''t leave it alone at this time!" Seeing Wu Hongyi''s tendency to play rascals, he just wanted to pester him, Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry. This shows that Wu Hongyi is really tricky, otherwise it would not be in this state. "Okay, don''t worry, I happen to have some understanding of the island country consortium. Let me first tell you about the island country consortium model, okay?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said to Wu Hongyi. Wu Hongyi lifted up his spirits and immediately nodded, and at the same time poured a cup of tea for Xia Yu: "Say it, I''ll listen carefully!" Xia Yu took a sip of his teacup, sorted out the draft, and said: "The six major consortia that can represent the island country¡¯s business community are mainly divided into two categories. One is the consortium with a particularly obvious family style. It is the evolution of the four big chaebols in the island country, namely the Mitsubishi Foundation, the Mitsui Foundation, the Sumitomo Foundation and the Fuji Foundation." "The four old chaebols have been rampant in the island countries for one or two hundred years, and reached their peak during World War II, monopolizing industries such as heavy industry, transportation, resources, and finance. Unfortunately, after the island countries were defeated in World War II, the European and American governments wanted to wipe out the island country¡¯s heritage. In order to suppress their opponents, the major consortia dismembered these four chaebols in the name of the United Nations." "But after the war, in order to deal with the mainland and the red polar bears, the United States had to once again armed the island country and loosened the chain. At the same time, it returned some of the original production lines that were relocated and dismantled to the island country. Relying on the foundation, the enterprise once again seized the opportunity to rise and integrate, forming today''s four major consortia." "These four major consortia are controlled by a core family. Even the Sumitomo Consortium, which controlled more than 90% of the total equity of the Sumitomo Consortium in 1937. Even after the defeat in World War II, it was dismantled and reorganized. Now I am sure Still holding more than 50%!" "But this type of model is not suitable for the current situation." In the last sentence, Xia Yu mentioned it gently. Wu Hongyi nodded slightly without arguing. It was nothing more than the strength of the Wu family did not surpass that of other families and companies. There is no way. If it is inappropriate, it is not appropriate. Let¡¯s look at another model. Right! "The other is the model of the other two consortia, that is, the model of the Sanhe Consortium and the Quanyin Consortium. It is not a family-style consortium, but a patchwork consortium, which is relatively looser and has worse cohesion. " "Among them, the Sanhe consortium is mainly formed by large companies in the island nation of Kansai, in order to counter the competitive pressure of the four major consortia of the island nation." "The Persuasion Bank Consortium is more prominent than the Sanhe Consortium. It is the consortium with the largest number of companies when it was established. One characteristic of its establishment is that the consortium has formed the oldest tricks, continuously cross-holding shares and increasing the number of companies under it. " "If the Chinese Business Consortium is to be established, it should refer to the Sanhe Consortium and the Quanyin Consortium, focusing on the Quanyin Consortium!" Xia Yu said this in one breath, feeling a little dry mouth, took a sip from his teacup, Wu Hongyi immediately filled it up, and asked, "Then Xia Yu, if you want to use the Persuasion Consortium as a reference template, what do you need? Attention?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "First of all, we must establish the core position of a bank, undoubtedly the Huashang Bank, and let it become the capital turnover center of the entire consortium." "But in this way, the equity of Huashang Bank must be broken up and cross-shareholding with a dozen or even dozens of companies. This is a link and does not need too much. Each company holds about 1%. That¡¯s it, even a stronger company holds 2%." "However, for companies that are relatively weak and are not qualified to become core enterprises, there is no need for banks to cross-hold stocks with them. It is enough to establish Huashang Bank as the main revolving bank and creditor of those enterprises." "In this way, the equity of Huashang Bank is particularly important. I suggest that the bank be privatized first, and then the other shareholders except you and me should be kicked out. Then the equity will be redistributed, so that the Wu family can be determined. Otherwise, it will only make others cheaper. In the end, your family¡¯s equity will not be much." Hearing this, Wu Hongyi nodded silently and took it to heart. At this time, he had realized the importance of Huashang Bank to the establishment of a consortium. Of course, he did not want to shed so much equity. Cross-shareholding, the one that can link the most companies is undoubtedly the Chinese Commercial Bank. As long as you control the Chinese Commercial Bank, you control the door to each company. The importance is self-evident! Banks must be privatized, and those shareholders¡¯ equity must be taken back. Of course, Xia Yu¡¯s equity cannot be moved, and it will even increase due to bank privatization. Wu Hongyi knows this deeply, but there is no way. . "Then privatize and delist, how to do it, I will talk about it in detail at that time!" Wu Hongyi was very decisive and made the decision directly on behalf of the Wu family. In his opinion, even his grandfather would make this choice. Xia Yu slightly nodded his head in agreement. Seeing Wu Hongyi quietly looking at him, he continued to speak: "The financial core of the consortium has been established, and the next one will start from the China Chamber of Commerce." "The cohesion of a consortium can greatly affect its external competitiveness. Therefore, an organization must stand above all enterprises and determine policies at the highest level. In layman''s terms, it is to establish a coalition parliament." "In the Quanyin Consortium, this is the ¡®Three Golds¡¯ Association. It is composed of the chairman of the core enterprises of the Quanyin Consortium, and the heads of other sub-level companies are not eligible to join the membership." "In the Sanjinhui, there are three levels of general manager, deputy general manager, and executive director. The Sanjinhui meets on the third Friday of every month. All members sit together to discuss the development and future of the consortium. At the same time negotiate business with each other." "Today''s Chinese Entrepreneurs Association is too loose, and the threshold is very low. The strength of members is uneven, but the advantage is that it has already wiped out all the powerful Chinese businessmen in the UK!" "So it can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce belongs to the periphery. In addition, powerful and representative companies are selected from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to become the core components of the Chinese Business Consortium. The power holders of these enterprises are used as the core to establish A more rigorous organization, with circulation channels, and the survival of the fittest, give hope to peripheral companies. This is to avoid confrontation." Wu Hongyi thought for a while, nodded solemnly, obviously listening to Xia Yu''s words. "In this way, you should be cautious in choosing the core components of the founding company. However, there are situations. For example, in the food retail industry, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has at least ten or more companies, and the top five companies have little difference in strength. It¡¯s impossible for five companies to choose together, right? It¡¯s not good to choose one or two. How can this be solved?" Wu Hongyi frowned slightly and asked, this question grasped the key point. Xia Yu smiled faintly: "Of course not all can be selected!" "In each industry sector, you can choose at most two companies to enter. If there is only one, of course it is the best. This can avoid internal competition and keep your fists together!" "You have to know that once it becomes the core enterprise of the consortium, Huashang Bank must treat it specially and fully support it. With the financial resources of Huashang Bank, it is destined to not be able to cover it all. Ten medium-sized enterprises are definitely not as good as one large enterprise, so the capital It¡¯s best to concentrate your financial resources to cultivate a family." "After all, in the UK, apart from the internal competition of our Chinese businessmen, the greater competition comes from the outside and there is no internal integration. How can we talk about competing with the British in a weak situation!" "As you said, there is no obvious leading company in the food retail industry. Then it is artificially matched to see if we can tie in and integrate several companies into one. Although this is difficult, if the bosses of these companies know In selecting the core enterprises of the consortium, as long as they are not stupid, even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they will agree to the merger because of reality! They even hope that other companies will give up the opportunity to join the group." Hearing this, Wu Hongyi nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xia Yu''s statement. If selected as the core company of the consortium, then there will be the entire consortium as the backer, which will gain absolute advantage in capital and market. At that time, no similar company will be selected, unless it is extremely good or has another stronger The backer of the country, otherwise it is likely to be annexed or eliminated in the competition. So this is the trend! Under the rolling wheels, one can only choose to obey! Wu Hongyi said: "Then Xia Yu, I will first identify some core companies in the industries where the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has obvious leading companies, and first make a prototype. At that time, it will be difficult to match the food retail industry. smaller." "This is the idea, easy first and difficult later, as long as the general trend is gathered, the difficulty is no longer a difficulty!" Xia Yu nodded and smiled. "By the way, because of the overall business situation of Chinese businessmen, even if a Chinese business consortium is formed, it will definitely be based on light industry, trade, transportation and services at the beginning, and concentrate on developing these industries that British capital is more despised. A bird in the forest is not as good as a bird in hand. Only after the monopoly can we truly gain a foothold, we can work together to explore other fields." "You should be aware that heavy industry, communications, petroleum, metals, mining, chemical fiber and other industries are basically the sites of major British consortia. Even if the Chinese Commercial Bank tries its best, it can''t compete, and there is no suitable enterprise to support. " "Of course, if there are companies in this type of industry and they seem to be developing well, they can also be established as the core enterprise of the consortium, but in terms of support, we must be more cautious so that the funds will not be flooded and the whole consortium will be dragged down. After all, this type of industry The funds needed are too large! Any carelessness will affect the entire financial chain of the consortium!" Speaking of this, Xia Yu had the information of the Sanhe Consortium in his mind. In order to fight against the Sumitomo Bank of the Sumitomo Consortium, the Sanhe Consortium¡¯s policy was changed. Its business activities shifted from the textile industry to the heavy industry. But suddenly in 1973 The outbreak of the oil crisis brought operational crises to core companies such as Unichka of the Sanhe Consortium, causing relatively large losses to Sanhe Bank and dragging down the entire consortium. Huashang Bank can''t even enter the top ten banks in the UK, and its strength is insufficient. Xia Yu does not recommend Chinese business consortiums to get involved in heavy industry and petroleum mining, which are costly and severely unbalanced. After all, the future is too slim. When the Chinese business consortium is weak , it still develops secretly, and has a firm foothold in a smaller and less important industry monopoly. Although these industries are even less favored by major British consortia, as long as the monopoly is achieved, the prospects are still promising. It is not a problem to grow the Chinese business consortium from a small crocodile to a medium-sized crocodile. When the wretched development must be wretched development, we must not wave! ¡­¡­ After ¡¡¡¡, Wu Hongyi asked Xia Yu many related questions, and Xia Yu answered them in detail. After asking, the gloom between Wu Hongyi''s eyebrows was gone, and there was already a framework for thinking in his heart. That night, Wu Hongyi returned home, chatted with his grandfather Wu Chengde all night, and told his grandfather Wu Chengde what Xia Yu had said to him. After Wu Chengde sighed with emotion, he gave Wu Hongyi the greatest support and let him go and let him go. If he didn''t understand, he would ask Xia Yu or ask him. If there is any trouble, just come back and find him. The next day, Wu Hongyi prepared for the Chinese business consortium as if he had been beaten up. And Xia Yu quietly went to the Chinese Embassy in the UK and talked with Qian Wenchao for a long time. After Xia Yu left, Qian Wenchao immediately reported the country through a secret line. PS: It''s the end of the month, I want to set a bowl for a monthly pass! Thank you guys! Https:// Genius this site address:. Mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 549: Launch an acquisition In the next few days, Xia Yu took the time to go to Rong Yeh Co., Ltd., and found out that Ye Huan Rong was indeed the person who could become the richest Chinese in Britain in later generations. Rong Yeh developed rapidly under his management. After the inspection, under Ye Huanrong¡¯s repeated requests, Xia Yu combined with the current situation of Rongyehang and put forward many forward-looking suggestions. Ye Huanrong said on the spot that he would adopt it carefully. Xia Yu believes that as long as Ye Huanrong really develops in the direction he said, the development speed of Rongyehang will definitely reach a higher level! At the same time, the acquisition of the "Daily Telegraph" was finally completed. 13 million pounds bought a newspaper with a daily circulation of 1.6 million copies. In Xia Yu''s opinion, it is super value! Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it¡¯s only a little over 110 million. You must know that Ming Pao, which has a daily circulation of more than 100,000 copies, is now worth more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The daily circulation is more than ten times that of Ming Pao. According to the Daily Telegraph, the actual value multiple will only be higher, but the current purchase price is less than ten times that of Ming Pao. It can only be said that the media that is currently in a trough in Europe is also a good time to buy the bottom. If the media also broke out in the 1980s, let alone 13 million pounds, 30 million pounds might not be available! This deal is earned! Had it not been for the influence and obstacles of other factors, Xia Yu would have liked to take this opportunity to acquire all major British newspapers and become a British media tycoon! But I just think about it now, the reality is impossible. After the "Daily Telegraph" acquired the acquisition, Xia Yu also asked George Berkeley to appease the management, and then asked the company''s general manager to come to Guangming Fund. After a detailed discussion, the general manager went back to run the newspaper with peace of mind. On the other hand, the acquisition team of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has been established, and the acquisition strategy and plan have also been completed. As for the acquisition consultant, taking into account the special background of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, after analysis by the acquisition team, Lloyds Bank, one of the four largest private banks in the UK, was finally selected as the acquisition consultant. In fact, there were two choices at the beginning, namely HSBC Holdings and Lloyds Bank. These two banks are controlled by the ancient British families, and the network of people behind them covers the entire United Kingdom. But although Lloyds Bank ranks first among the four top private banks in the UK, and is far less powerful than HSBC Holdings, its background is worse than Lloyds Bank. The most important thing is that Xia Yu learned from Elena that the Howard family turned out to be one of the major shareholders of Lloyds Bank, and their shareholding ratio was among the top three. Howard, the Duke family¡¯s shareholding ratio, is not ranked first. This shows that the political energy behind Lloyds Bank is definitely not small. Lloyds Bank¡¯s development is a little worse now, but it will be more dedicated to Bright Fund¡¯s acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Not only can it increase revenue, but it can also demonstrate its strength and attract more business. In addition to identifying the acquisition consultant as Lloyds Bank, in order to increase the success rate, the legal and tax consultants still hired the largest public accountant company in the UK. The acquisition team plus two consultants formed a large and luxurious acquisition lineup, which reflects Xia Yu''s firm determination. After the preparations were made, Xia Yu gave an order and George Berkeley issued an offer for the first time to Rolls-Royce Group, and formally proposed to acquire its Rolls-Royce Motor Company. The unprepared Rolls-Royce Group was immediately stunned. After all, Frank Richard, the CEO of the group, was a veteran. He directly rejected the first offer of the Bright Fund and turned around and ordered Ren Lima to investigate the details of the Bright Fund. And the situation of the acquisition team. After all, the Rolls-Royce Group has a state-owned enterprise with a background in the British defense equipment department. It is easy to investigate some information in the UK. Moreover, in addition to the offshore equity processing of the Bright Fund, only a small part of Xia Yu is exposed. In addition to equity, other information is displayed brightly. Because there is no deliberate publicity, it is difficult for ordinary people to know, but as long as a competent person investigates, it is basically clear. Soon, a series of information from the Bright Fund was before the table of Frank Richard, the CEO of Rolls-Royce Group. Frank Richard is an elite specially hired by the British Defense Equipment Group to serve as the CEO of Rolls-Royce Group. He is an engineer who is not only proficient in management, but also has considerable knowledge in engines and can better logistic company. In 1971, Rolls-Royce Group began to develop a unique three-rotor RB211 engine. Due to the relatively new three-rotor technology and the composite fan technology of Rolls-Royce Group, the RB211 engine was anxiously launched. The project development cycle was delayed too long, and the financial resources of the Rolls-Royce Group were ultimately unsupported. The British government had to be nationalized and transferred to the British Defense Equipment Group. And it was Frank Richard who was discovered by the British government to put out the fire at this critical moment, and he did not disappoint the British government. Cooperating with the government''s intervention, it successfully split the Rolls-Royce Group into two companies, automotive and aero engine, and allowed Rolls-Royce Aeroengine to regain its vitality. But it is a pity that Rolls-Royce Motor Company was still in a slump after being tossed for six or seven years, which severely delayed the group''s retreat. Frank Richard exhausted all his methods, and in the end he lost his mind. Fortunately, under his management, the vital aero engine is operating well, so even if Rolls-Royce Motor Company performs poorly, he still has the trust of the government. Actually, he didn''t think about selling Rolls Royce Motor Company to relieve the burden of the group, and then he devoted himself to the aero engine field. But the British economy is sluggish, and the auto industry needs to invest heavily. Rolls-Royce Motor Company is in a quagmire. No one is interested, he can do nothing. Now the Bright Fund has sent a takeover offer, Frank Richard is very happy to be honest. But he did not know the situation of the Bright Fund, and he also knew that the first offer was definitely the lowest. Even if he wanted to sell the company, he had to sell a high price, so he refused the offer decisively and started a psychological war. After reading the information, Frank Richard frowned, his expression tangled. According to the data, the Bright Fund has been processed offshore, and the surface is a Chinese from Hong Kong who holds 20% of the shares. The analysis said that the Bright Fund may be wholly owned by it, but it may also be just a superficial agent. people. This kind of unknown background, or the part of the Xiangjiang Chinese background that has been revealed, made Frank Richard''s heart sink. Even though he has given up on Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in his heart, he still knows that the company is not for sale. He only has the right to make suggestions. The decision is in the hands of the British Defense Equipment Group and the British government. With the pride of those officials, it is too difficult for them to sell Rolls-Royce Motor Company, one of the pride of Britain, to a yellow race from the colony! Frank Richard sighed and looked down again. When he saw that the acquisition consultant was Lloyd¡¯s Bank and the legal and tax consultant was a British public accounting firm, Frank Richard¡¯s eyes brightened again and he couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°If you choose two good consultants, if Lloyd¡¯s If the bank can cooperate fully, the probability of success should be very high." "and many more!" "Elena Howard, one of the core figures of the acquisition team, turned out to be the daughter of Duke Carter Howard?!" Seeing this message, Frank Richard was shocked first, then frowned, lost in thought. Elena Howard is the daughter of Duke Carter. She joined the Bright Fund before graduating from university. It doesn''t matter if she doesn''t enter the family business, she even joins this company. What is the hidden reason? Frank Richard flashed a flash of light in his mind, quickly turned back to the front, and saw the unknown background of the Bright Fund, Frank Richard had a thought in his mind: "Is Duke Carter Howard behind the Bright Fund?" "But it''s not right. If Duke Carter Howard really wants to buy Rolls-Royce Motor Company and use his family business to come forward, as long as the price is right, I believe the government will definitely welcome it There is no need to be so troublesome. For nothing to trouble myself!" Frank Richard frowned, he couldn''t figure it out, and his brain ached. He didn''t think much anymore. "Follow him, leave this issue to the top to deal with. If the Bright Fund is really Duke Carter Howard, he will definitely open up the relationship with the government." "If you don''t open up the relationship, it will prove not!" "No matter what, although I want to get rid of this burden, I only have the right to make suggestions." "If you really want to sell Rolls-Royce Motor Company in the end, my duty is to sell the car company as high as possible to obtain more funds for the engine company!" After thinking about it, Frank Richard immediately sorted out the materials from beginning to end and reported them to the British Defense Equipment Group. Soon, the British Defense Equipment Group issued an order to Frank Richard to temporarily consume the Bright Fund, depending on the situation. Frank Richard understood the meaning of this order, so when the Bright Fund offered for the second time, he did not refuse it again, but chose to approach it. But in the face of the offensive of the acquisition team of the Bright Fund, Frank Richard slipped like an old loach without leaving his hands. His attitude was always confused, which disappointed George Berkeley and others. Faced with this situation, George Berkeley and the two major acquisition consultants opened an internal analysis meeting. After the meeting, Lloyds Bank immediately mobilized contacts to understand the specific situation and prepared to lobby for the actual situation. http:///txt/87390/ . _Mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 550: The opportunity comes As the deputy leader of the acquisition team, Elena has been mentally prepared, but after all, it is the first time to participate in a formal job and to hold such an important position. The psychological pressure is naturally great, and I am afraid that she will not play a role. For this reason, after returning at night, she was also racking her brains to find a feasible starting point. As for the younger brother Henry, taking advantage of the vacation to do nothing, he learned a day''s work, and he was so tired that he fell on the ground and took a shower early after dinner. "Ding Dong!" "Ding Dong!" Just as Elena was thinking intently, she was startled by the sudden ringing of the doorbell. She patted her chest, calmed her mood, and then carefully came to the door, looking out the door through the cat''s eyes. "How is it Dad?" Elena was surprised to see her father Carter Howard and the bodyguard at the door. My father is usually in Norfolk, and it''s 8 or 9 in the evening. Why did he come to London? Before I could think about it, Elena opened the door and yelled affectionately: "Dad, good evening!" Carter Howard looked at Elena lovingly, hugged her gently, and said, "My little angel, is it an accident to see Dad?" "Dad, come in, it''s too cold outside." With that said, Elena welcomed her father and the others in, and then locked the door again. Carter Howard lowered his hat, sat on the furry sofa and warmed himself, and asked the daughter who had just sat down: "Where''s Henry, why don''t you see him?" Elena replied helplessly: "He was very tired after practicing Chinese Kungfu for a day, and now he is asleep in the room." Carter Howard raised his brows, surprised at the perseverance of his baby son, and said with a smile: "Since you are asleep, forget it, and see him tomorrow when he wakes up." "Dad, why did you come to London so late? Just now you rang the doorbell and it shocked me." As Elena said, there was still a lingering expression on her face. Carter Howard looked sorry: "Well, I scared my little angel, I was wrong." "I came to London this afternoon to deal with some business matters and put old friends by the way. No, just after dinner, I saw that it was early. You shouldn''t be asleep, so stop by." Hearing her father''s explanation, Elena gave a soft voice and stopped asking more, and continued to brew the Blue Mountain coffee he likes for her father. "Dad, your coffee!" "Thank you!" Carter Howard warmed his hands while holding the cup in comfort, while blowing the heat, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Drinking and drinking, the coffee made by my baby daughter is better." At this time, Carter Howard caught a glimpse of the document beside Elena. Thinking of what he had learned recently, he put down his coffee and asked softly: "Elena, how did you apply for the Bright Fund? I asked your mentor, why didn¡¯t you tell me, which company you want to work out for, I can send you in." Elena smiled and said: "Dad, don''t worry, I think that the Bright Fund can achieve the effect of training yourself, so I applied for the job and can take care of Henry easily." "In fact, I am now the deputy leader of an acquisition team. The position is very important. The exercise effect is very good. You see that I am facing challenges now, so I will find a way at home at night." Carter Howard was relieved to hear his daughter''s words. He glanced at the information next to Elena and suddenly asked, "Is it about the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company?" Elena was taken aback, looked at her father''s smiling face, thought for a while and asked: "Dad, how do you know?" Carter Howard explained with a smile: "Don''t forget, I am a director of Lloyds Bank, and Bright Fund has entrusted Lloyd Bank as an acquisition consultant. As a director, I am certainly qualified to know about this." Of course, this is Carter Howard''s rhetoric. In fact, he already knew the acquisition intention of Bright Fund. Both the daughter and son were in London, and they were almost hurt some time ago, and they always ran to the Bright Fund later. How could Carter Howard not pay close attention? In this way, it is natural to know that Bright Fund is preparing to acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Company. It stands to reason that the United Kingdom is so big and there are countless companies. No one can know every move of all companies, but who made Elena in the Bright Fund? The scope of the investigation has been reduced indefinitely. Although the Bright Fund has taken precautions, it continues to recruit, collect information on Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and also hires the assistance of a British public accounting company. The news is naturally not hidden. Carter Howard deliberately investigated Just know. As for Lloyds Bank, although he is a director, in terms of business, although he has the right to know all affairs, the bank does not need to report everything to him. After all, he is not the chairman. Therefore, he said that the information he obtained from Lloyds Bank was naturally just false rhetoric. "Ok!" Elena was relieved and couldn''t help but pick up the information again and read it. She is a very responsible girl. Now she is full of acquisitions, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn''t look at it. Carter Howard was very happy to see her daughter in such a state, but unfortunately she is not a boy... "Elena, can you tell me what''s going on now?" After taking a sip of coffee, Carter Howard leaned on the soft sofa and asked casually. "Our company invited Lloyds Bank and Public Accounting Corporation to assist in the acquisition. Now it has made two quotations. The first one was rejected. This morning is the second quotation. It successfully cooperated with Frank, the CEO of Rolls-Royce. The top management meeting headed by Richard was temporarily in trouble, and now Lloyds Bank has acted." Elena thought for a while, then explained the situation in detail. Carter Howard nodded slightly, shook his head and commented: "The network of Lloyds Bank can indeed play a great role, but many times when it comes to principles of principle, many people will criticize it, even with Lloyd¡¯s The bank¡¯s contacts may not be successful either." Elena suddenly frowned, looked at her father and asked, "Dad, is it because Xia Yu is from Xiangjiang?" Carter Howard nodded, "Yes, this is currently the biggest obstacle." Seeing his daughter''s heavy heart, Carter Howard said again: "Of course, there is no absolute thing in the world. Just like Bright Fund can buy the Financial Times Group, he also has the right to buy auto companies." "As long as the people the Bright Fund finds can suppress the voice of opposition, everything is not a problem. It''s a pity that although the connections behind Lloyds Bank are very strong, they are not going to do their best for this business." Elena pursed her mouth for a moment and asked, "Then father, if our family intervenes, will it be successful?" Carter Howard raised his brows and was surprised: "Elena, why do you want to let the family do it? There is absolutely no need for us to do this. You have to know that there is a price to pay for mobilizing contacts." "and many more!" "Could it be that Xia Yu recruited you into the company and asked you to be the deputy team leader in order for you to mobilize the power of the family?" Speaking of this, Carter Howard was reluctant to believe that his daughter would be so irrational. Elena smiled and shook her head and explained: "Dad, Xia Yu didn''t make such a request to me. He just told me that my background would be helpful to his acquisition, so I was placed in this position. I think It was helpful to my exercise, so I agreed, but I did not agree to let the family help him." Hearing what his daughter said, Carter Howard gave a relieved smile, and at the same time gave Xia Yu a frank look at her daughter. "Elena, do you really want to make the acquisition successful?" Carter Howard thought for a while, suddenly looked at his daughter seriously, and asked. Elena was taken aback, nodded, and smiled affirmatively: "Yes, this is the first project I touched on. Of course I hope to complete it perfectly. This is for my university career and my mentor. A satisfactory answer sheet." "And Xia Yu is my friend. He not only saved Henry, but also asked the bodyguard to teach Henry Kungfu. Of course I have to do my best to help him." "So no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best!" "Friends?" Carter Howard whispered, and the shocking information that he had learned about Xia Yu appeared in his mind. When thinking about the relationship between Xia Yu and his daughter and his son, he must have said to his daughter: "Then Irene Na, after you go to work tomorrow morning, ask Xia Yu to come here. I haven''t thanked him in person yet!" Elena''s eyes lit up and she asked, "Dad, are you planning to use the power of the family to help him?" Carter Howard faintly smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I just want to see what kind of person he is, and then tell him what to do by the way." Despite this, Elena was still very happy, she couldn''t help being curious: "Dad, how about you tell me now, where should I start?" "Haha!" "Elena, let''s talk about it tomorrow, I''m worried to tell you, you will tell your friends tomorrow." Carter Howard joked. Elena pouted her lips and rolled her eyes, and said helplessly: "Okay, Dad, I will definitely notify him tomorrow." That evening, after his daughter went upstairs, Carter Howard called the head of Lloyds Bank and asked him to give him the details of the Bright Fund¡¯s acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company by tomorrow morning. The next day, as Xia Yu was sorting out the business map in the office, Elena suddenly knocked on the door of his office. "Elena, come in!" Elena walked in, first smiled at the smiling Li Qian, and then said naturally: "Boss I want to report something to you." "Has the acquisition progressed?" Xia Yu asked, expectation arose in his heart. Elena¡¯s answer surprised him: "My father came to London, and he asked me to ask if you are free, and if you are free, go to my house. He wants to talk to you." "Of course I''m free!" Xia Yu said without hesitation. "Then three o''clock in the afternoon!" After speaking, Elena showed a charming smile and left Xia Yu''s office. When Elena left, a smile appeared on Xia Yu''s face. Seeing this, Li Qian felt happy for Xia Yu from the heart, and quietly came to Xia Yu''s back and gently pinched his shoulders. PS: It''s the end of the month, don''t waste the recommended monthly ticket, thank you! v2 Chapter 551: British Automotive Industry Because he was going to see Duke Carter Howard in the afternoon, Xia Yu went home specially, changed a set of formal clothes, and prepared some meeting gifts. Although the gifts were not expensive, they were enough to express their feelings. Of course, gifts must be prepared, and things that have been prepared for a long time must not be forgotten, and the subordinates solemnly put them into the purse. Because it was arranged to meet at Elena''s house at 3 in the afternoon, Xia Yu told Elena not to use the company in the afternoon. At 2:50 in the afternoon, after Xia Yu rang the doorbell of Elena''s house, the door opened to reveal Elena''s pure and beautiful smiling face. "Xia Yu, come in quickly, what other gifts do you bring!" Elena warmly greeted Xia Yu to come in, and at the same time accepted the gift from Xia Yu. As soon as he entered, Xia Yu felt a scrutinizing gaze toward him. He followed the feeling and found a somewhat elderly middle-aged man looking at him calmly. With black hair mixed with silver threads, a sharp face, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, plus a hooked nose, although there are wrinkles on his face, it can be seen that he was definitely a handsome guy when he was young. "Xia Yu, this is my father Carter Howard." Elena first introduced her father to Xia Yu in a low voice, and then smiled and said to Carter Howard: "Dad, this is my friend Xia Yu." It wasn''t until Elena introduced Xia Yu that Carter Howard looked away from scrutiny, his temperament changed drastically, like an uncle next door, and said kindly: "Mr. Xia, welcome you!" "Sir Howard, hello!" Xia Yu solemnly bowed to Carter Howard in accordance with the communicative etiquette between British aristocrats, to show respect for his duke status. The first impression is very important, so let''s talk about the good feelings first. Sure enough, Xia Yu''s standard etiquette surprised Carter Howard, and the smile on his face became more amiable, and he returned a gift to Xia Yu, and asked Xia Yu to take a seat in the curious eyes of Elena. "Humhhhhhh!" "Sister, are Xia Yu and my master here?" Henry already knew that Xia Yu would come in the afternoon, so he kept paying attention to the movement downstairs and ran down from the upstairs, exclaiming. "Yes!" "Henry, good afternoon!" "Xia Yu, good afternoon!" "Where is my master?" After Henry said hello, a pair of eyes began to look around, looking for Li Wuming''s figure. After not finding it, he stared eagerly at Xia Yu. Upon seeing this, sitting Carter Howard gave a loving smile. "He is guarding outside, you can see him when you go out." Xia Yu pointed out the door and said to Henry. "Dad, sister, I''m going to practice Kung Fu with Master." Henry was immediately overjoyed, dropped a word, and ran out hurriedly. "Be safe! Rest when you are tired!" Carter Howard yelled lovingly towards Henry''s back, and got Henry''s perfunctory "get it" answer. He couldn''t help but shook his head with a smile. "Xia Yu, do you want tea or coffee?" Elena asked, blinking her beautiful eyes. "Coffee! Thank you!" Xia Yu noticed the coffee at Carter Howard''s table just now quietly, and naturally followed him to drink coffee. "No thanks! Please wait a moment!" After finishing talking, Elena opened the jar, took out the wooden spoon and scooped a spoonful of ground coffee from it, poured it into the glass and started brewing. At this time, Carter Howard began to provoke the topic. "Mr. Xia, thank you very much for saving my son Henry before. If it weren''t for you, my son might have disappeared. Please accept a father''s thanks to you!" Carter Howard said sincerely, and at the same time stood up and bowed to Xia Yu. Xia Yu quickly got up and avoided, leaning on his side in a gesture of support, and said hurriedly: "Sir Howard, you don¡¯t need to be like this. I believe either People will stand up when they encounter this kind of thing. This is what any citizen will do." "But if it''s someone else, it''s definitely impossible to save Henry to safety. After all, not everyone has a powerful Kung Fu master around him." Carter Howard joked, and sat down again with Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and did not continue talking. "Sir Howard, I also want to thank you for your help, allowing me to successfully acquire the Financial Times Group. Did you know that I was ready for a protracted battle. I didn¡¯t expect the Pearson Group to communicate so well at the time. I wondered for a long time, and then I realized that it was you who helped me. I always wanted to find a chance to thank you but couldn''t ask for it. You really helped me a lot!" After Carter Howard thanked him, Xia Yu did not fall, and expressed his gratitude for his previous helping hand, and at the same time, he was able to get closer. Elena, who had just made coffee, knew for the first time that her father had helped Xia Yu in the acquisition of the Financial Times Group. She looked at her father in surprise and received his father''s gentle smile. "Xia Yu, your coffee, be careful not to burn it." "Thank you!" "Mr. Xia, my son Henry is more naughty. I really trouble you to look after him during this time." "No trouble, Henry likes kung fu and I am very happy. As long as he is willing to learn, I will let my bodyguard teach him his best." Xia Yu''s sincere words were exchanged for Carter Howard''s kind smile. "Dad, I have seen Henry learn Kungfu. Although it is very hard, he can clenched his teeth all the time because of his love. It really surprised me." Elena interrupted suddenly at this moment. "Really? That would be great! Then I''ll take a closer look at how he learns." Carter Howard said with satisfaction, and gave Xiaoyingying''s daughter a deep look. It¡¯s the wish of every parent to have a child, and it is more effective to tout a child than to his parents. Therefore, Xia Yu praised it at the right time: ¡°Henry is very diligent and studious. He has such perseverance at a young age. I believe he will be an outstanding person when he grows up. ." Sure enough, Carter Howard laughed cheerfully, his face full of relief. After chatting on Henry for a while, and seeing his daughter look at him frequently, Carter Howard sighed inwardly and could only provoked the topic. "Mr. Xia, I heard that you are acquiring Rolls Royce Motor Company. Can you tell me why you chose it?" "If you want to enter the automotive industry, you can choose Aston Martin, Land Rover (the British name is Land Rover, because it was registered in China, it can only be registered as Land Rover), Lotus, Jaguar, Leyland (renamed in 1991) Rover Motors) and other car companies, most of these car companies are better than Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and the acquisition will be less difficult." After Carter Howard finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu scorchingly. Xia Yu had clear eyes and smiled and said frankly: "I entered the automotive industry after careful consideration. The British automotive industry has always been at the top of the world. I think any young man with a little ambition wants to enter this industry." "In fact, I have a car company in Asia, but unfortunately it is a cooperation with the island country Honda Motor. The top technology of Honda Motor is not as good as that of the British car company, and the technology that Honda Cooperates with is second-class. So I am not satisfied." "I came to the UK this time, and my dream beaten again." "I know that technology is the foundation of an automobile company. Since I intend to get involved in the automobile industry, I chose the most technologically advanced Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Although its business conditions have not been good in recent years, after careful consideration, I think there are still Ways to rejuvenate it!" To be honest, in this era, the British auto industry is still very good, at least in terms of technology, better than Germany. It is only because of the conservative thinking of the British that although it has created the unmatched king status of the British car, on the other hand, it has finally become the most direct cause of the decline of the British automobile industry. When it comes to foreign cars, ordinary people generally have three concepts in their minds, that is, American cars, German cars, and island cars, while British cars are far behind. This is true in later generations. Almost all major British car brands have been carved up. Rolls-Royce Motors first changed hands to Volkswagen and then fell into the hands of BMW; Lotus Motors was acquired by Malaysia¡¯s Proton; Jaguar, Land Rover and Rover were first acquired by Ford Group and finally transferred to India¡¯s Tata Group; Aston Martin It was also acquired by Ford. It can be said that later British cars did not lose to German cars and island cars, but to their own conservative thinking, and to Ford. Ford used mass production of civilian cars to defeat British boutique cars and gentleman cars. Then use the market to grab profits and then in turn annex major British car companies. After the annexation, Ford didn''t care about training these godsons, and they were sold out after they were stunted, smashing the pride of the British auto industry. But even so, as long as the car factory is still in the UK, the British heritage will remain, just like in 2018, 19 of the world''s top 20 auto parts manufacturers have their production bases in the UK. Proud British people do not understand the old-fashioned marketing, resulting in the quality of cars but can not grab the market. But Xia Yu''s deep marketing essence, as long as Rolls-Royce Motor Company gets into his hands, it can definitely rise again. Although Rolls-Royce and Bentley are both luxury car brands, the prices are high, but the output is limited. For example, Rolls-Royce insists on handmade production from beginning to end, and the annual fixed production capacity is only 2,000. about. With such a small output, it is very unrealistic to want to grab the market. For a long time, the high-end automotive field has determined the reputation and technology of a brand, while the low-end market is dozens of times larger, representing money. If an ambitious car company wants to become an international car giant, it must have a high-end car brand to hone its technology, as well as a low-end market to earn profits and provide funding for research technology. If Xia Yu acquired the Rolls-Royce Motor Company, then he would continue to position Rolls-Royce as a high-end luxury car, but would decentralize Bentley to seize the mid-to-high-end market. With Bentley¡¯s long-standing luxury car image, Suddenly lowering the value to design mid-to-high-end cars will have a miraculous effect on sales. Later, it will acquire a low-end and mid-range brand to focus on the civilian market, so that Xia Yu''s auto ace will take shape. But after all, the most important thing is the high-end luxury car brands and technologies. In the entire British automotive industry, the best ones are Rolls-Royce and Bentley Who else will they buy if they don''t? After listening to Xia Yu''s explanation, Carter Howard showed an expression that could not be denied. He obviously did not believe that Xia Yu could bring Rolls-Royce back to life. He felt a little funny at Xia Yu''s self-confidence. "Mr. Xia, how are you sure you can save Rolls Royce?" Carter Howard asked with a faint smile. Xia Yu''s expression was relaxed, and the smile from the corner of his mouth revealed his confidence. He unzipped the leather bag he was carrying, and in the curious eyes of Carter Howard and Elena and his daughter, he took out the materials he had prepared and handed them to Carter Howard. "Sir Howard, this is the source of my self-confidence. You can see it at a glance." Xia Yu said slowly, with a calm tone and full of confidence. Seeing a line of words on the cover, Carter Howard''s eyes instantly became much deeper, and he glanced at Xia Yu, took the material seriously, and began to look back. v2 Chapter 552: profit distribution "Proposal for the Acquisition and Transformation of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars"! This plan was initiated by Xia Yu since he had the thought of acquiring Rolls-Royce Motor Company. It combines the precious memory of the current situation and the future. It can be said to be invaluable. If it is given to Rolls-Royce Motor Company, In the hands of the company, as long as the managers are not blind, they will definitely adopt it, and it will definitely allow Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to take off again. This plan is very meticulous, with separate plans based on the Rolls Royce brand and the Bentley brand. The first part is about the market prospect analysis of the Rolls-Royce (Bentley) brand; the second part is the transformation plan of the Rolls-Royce (Bentley) brand, focusing on the Bentley brand; the third part is Rolls-Royce (Bentley) The research direction of future models, such as luxury station wagons, commercial vehicles, supercars, etc.; The fourth part is the expansion plan of market channels. After reading these two plans in detail, Carter Howard was silent for a long time before he raised his head to look at Xia Yu and asked, "Mr. Xia, how long have you been doing this plan?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Soon, including the process of collecting information, it took less than a month for me and my team together." Xia Yu added an unnecessary team, otherwise, if he did it independently, even if Carter Howard believed it, it would not be guaranteed that he would not be scared. Even though Xia Yu had lied, this answer still shocked Carter Howard. He said with emotion, "Your team is very powerful." "Xia Yu, can I see it?" Carter Howard''s performance made Elena on the side curious, what kind of material can make her dad perform this way and give such a high evaluation? "of course can!" Xia Yu agreed without hesitation, and Carter Howard handed the plan to his daughter, and then continued: "Mr. Xia, I have to say that your plan is of great value. From my perspective, if you follow the plan, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has a good chance of getting out of the quagmire." "It makes me almost tempted to see it!" Carter Howard''s joke made Xia Yu smile, and he took out another document from his bag in Carter Howard''s unexpected eyes. This document is much thinner than the previous proposal, it can be said to be just two pieces of paper. Xia Yu handed it to Carter Howard and said, "Sir Howard, since you are tempted, you might as well take a look at this material." Carter Howard took it and looked at the file name. "Project Investment Management Plan for the Acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars" When he opened it, Carter Howard''s eyes suddenly condensed. The total amount of pre-investment: 40 million pounds; shareholders: Bright Fund, accounting for 80% of the shares, with an investment of 34 million pounds; shareholder Elena Howard (Howard family), accounting for 20% of the shares, with an investment of 6 million pounds. Management rights... After reading it, Carter Howard showed a playful smile, and Xia Yu looked at each other with deep eyes, and Xia Yu looked calm. This is Xia Yu''s plan. Tying the Howard family to the chariot will not only enable the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company more smoothly, but more importantly, it will not be deliberately targeted and suppressed in the later operation. Otherwise, there is no one to cover it. Even if Xia Yu acquired wholly-owned assets, some people would secretly stumble and cause even greater losses to Xia Yu, and they might be helpless. What''s more, with the support of the Howard family, Xia Yu will at least be able to get a fair competition opportunity. At that time, there will be great convenience in acquiring other car brands. Because of this, Xia Yu wrote out this shareholding ratio and investment ratio. He gave the Howard family 20% of the car company''s equity, but they saved them 2 million pounds, just to get them to fully support his acquisition of the car company. Support him in the back! The value of these things is not comparable to two million pounds! Of course, Xia Yu also knows that contact with Carter Howard is definitely not better than contact with Elena, so the shareholder priority written in the plan is Elena, and the Howard family is written in parentheses. In Xia Yu¡¯s view, after Carter Howard realized this opportunity to make money, he should let Elena become a shareholder instead of the Howard family. After all, although he is the patriarch of the Howard family, he did not hold 100% of the family business. Equity. People are selfish, and Carter Howard must be more inclined to put it on his own daughter. But at this time, Carter Howard began to be dissatisfied, he was not satisfied with only 20% of the equity. "Mr. Xia, I think this equity distribution method is unreasonable. I think it is reasonable for you to 60% and our 40%. Of course, I will pay out the money in proportion. Carter Howard said. Xia Yu frowned and categorically refused: "Sir Howard, I think it is reasonable to open 28. I reluctantly thought for a long time before giving up 20% of the equity. You should know that it is my plan that is valuable. One million pounds in exchange for more than 20 million pounds and even more assets in the future!" "And you should see that if I can make this plan, I can make plans for other cars. Although Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is very difficult to acquire, I believe that as long as I spend 10 to 20 million pounds There are still great opportunities to open up relationships." "And I don''t have to buy Rolls Royce Motor Company, I have other options!" Xia Yu''s sudden frown-like reaction made Carter Howard''s brows shake, and he looked at him again. When it comes to his vital interests, Xia Yu did not give in, and looked firmly at Carter Howard. At this time, Elena read the plan in her hand and found the difference between the two of them, and quickly asked: "Dad, Xia Yu, what''s wrong with you?" "Nothing, just discussing something." Seeing his daughter''s worried gaze, Carter Howard said with a relaxed smile. Xia Yu also put away the thorns, and once again gave people a feeling of spring breeze: "Elena, I argued with your father about an opinion, and I got a little emotional." "Ok!" Upon seeing this, Elena did not ask much although she did not believe it. She saw the plan in her hand and her mood improved again. She blinked her eyes and looked at Xia Yu in admiration: "Xia Yu, the plan you made is really great. It seems that Rolls Royce Motor Company is of great value. Well, I will definitely do my best for the acquisition project. If the acquisition is successful and the Rolls-Royce Motor Company is restored to life, my mentor will be very satisfied." "Hey, Dad, what are you holding in your hand? Is it another plan?" At this time, Elena realized with hindsight that her father was still holding a piece of material in her hand, and she asked curiously. Seeing that Xia Yu smiled and did not express his position, Carter Howard could only give it to his daughter. Elena hurriedly flipped through it. When she saw the capital contribution and equity ratio, her beautiful eyes instantly widened, and she suddenly looked at Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, why did you make this kind of decision? I can''t do this, you pay A valuable plan, and at the same time an extra 2 million pounds, my family and I own 20% of the equity. This is unfair to you, and I can¡¯t spend so much money.¡± "I am now your employee. It is my duty to help you acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Cars!" Seeing her daughter''s reaction, Carter Howard couldn''t help but grinned bitterly. She really shouldn''t have shown this to her. She was still too young to abandon her face for profit, and instead took other things more seriously. Now that she said so, how could he bargain with Xia Yu again? But isn''t his daughter''s character exactly what he hopes for? The daughter has her own persistence and personality, which is more valuable than anything! Of course the daughter said so, but Carter Howard would not really do what he said to her daughter. There is no way to win more equity. At least this 20% must be obtained. This is deserved. "Elena, you don''t have to worry about this, Dad will handle it." First, he said kindly to his daughter, and Carter Howard said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, if the acquisition is successful, you can allocate it according to your plan." "Ok!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Xia Yu, this is not fair..." Seeing her father and Xia Yu reached an agreement, Elena was a little worried, she said hurriedly. But as soon as she said, she was stopped by Xia Yu. She only heard Xia Yu smiling and saying: "Elena, this is fair. On the surface, I have suffered a loss, but in fact I am not." "Really?" Elena asked suspiciously. "Really, I don''t have to lie to you!" Xia Yu nodded firmly. Elena''s eyes moved back and forth between her father and Xia Yu, and finally gave up persuading, but instead wondered if she hadn''t thought about it. He asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I want to ask you a question. What do you think of the current political situation?" Xia Yu remained silent for a long time, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Now that the British economy is in trouble, the Labour Party¡¯s economic policy is proved to be ineffective. The UK must carry out economic reforms before it can lead the UK and Europe out of the quagmire again, so I am very optimistic about conservativeness. The party, the Conservative Party¡¯s campaign policy is also what I need." "Margaret is a very charismatic leader I look very good at her!" Finally, Xia Yu also expressed his appreciation of Margaret Thatcher, leader of the Conservative Party. Sure enough, Carter Howard thinks so too. He is also optimistic about the Conservative Party''s election. At this time, he and Xia Yu coincided with each other and had the same position, and the relationship was naturally closer. "Margaret is indeed a very attractive female leader!" "please wait a moment!" After speaking, Carter Howard stood up, went to the room and came out again, with a pale golden invitation in his hand. He sat back in his seat and handed the invitation to Xia Yu, saying: "Three days later, the Conservative Party will hold a political fundraising party in London. You can come with Elena at that time." Xia Yu suddenly smiled, and after opening it for a few moments, he solemnly put the invitation card into the bag. "Okay, I must be there!" v2 Chapter 553: Accumulate contacts Three days later, the dark night sky was full of stars. Obviously tomorrow will be a good weather. The Royal Hotel in London, a luxury hotel run by a large British family, is holding a heart-touching cocktail party here tonight. It is the "political fundraising cocktail party" organized by the Conservative Party. The money collected from general political fundraising is used for the campaigns of members of the Conservative Party and the expenses of many daily political activities. At this time, the elections for important positions in the House of Commons and various municipalities have already entered. This time the political fund-raising party was held exclusively, and the funds raised were only used for elections. No way, regardless of the top positions in various places, the House of Commons alone has 650 seats. The Conservative Party is competing fiercely with other parties. There are too many places to spend money. It depends on the Conservative Party and candidates from various regions. It is difficult to satisfy the assets owned by oneself and can only be raised from the society. At this moment, Xia Yu has entered the arena with an invitation, but he did not bring Li Qian. After all, I don''t know what Duke Carter Howard thought, and even let Elena and Xia Yu join the party. Xia Yu also learned from Elena that this was the first time she participated in such a solemn political cocktail party. After coming in, Xia Yu realized that he was the only person of the yellow race in the audience. Looking around, they were all gentlemen and ladies in suits and leather shoes. He did not know any of them. As for the Duke Carter Howard and the Margaret who heard about appearing Thatcher is not here at this time. Elena didn¡¯t know these people either, but it didn¡¯t matter, she was the daughter of Duke Carter Howard after all, so someone would always recognize her. When they saw her walking with Xia Yu, they all flashed a little surprise in their eyes. . Of course, Xia Yu''s existence was seen by many people, who secretly thought about who he was. Fortunately, when Xia Yu and Elena were embarrassed, Duke Carter Howard finally appeared. There were two people beside him talking and laughing. One was a handsome middle-aged man who was only about forty years old, and the other was an old man in his 50s and 60s, but Xia Yu observed that, This old man was dressed very luxuriously. It seemed that he was no worse than Duke Carter Howard. He should also be a nobleman. I saw Duke Carter Howard and the two people beside him walk up to Xia Yu and Elena, first nodded to Xia Yu with a smile, and then said to Elena: "Elena, when did you arrive?" "Dad, we have been there for more than ten minutes, you can''t find it if you want to find it." Elena said softly. "I''m really sorry, I happen to have something." After an apologetic explanation, Carter Howard introduced Xia Yu and Elena to the two beside him. "This is my daughter Elena. The next to him is Xia Yu, who is my daughter''s boss, a friend of the Howard family, from Xiangjiang." Hearing Carter Howard''s introduction, the two beside him couldn''t help but look at Xia Yu, and they were a little surprised. They didn''t expect this young Chinese from Hong Kong to be recognized by the Howard family. "This is Duke Cavendish!" Carter Howard first introduced the old man, and Xia Yu couldn''t help being surprised. He didn''t expect that he was also a duke. Since the last time I asked Hongyi Wu for information about the Howard family, Xia Yu has especially learned about the British aristocracy. There is only one family named Cavendish, and there is only one duke. It is in Cavendish, Devon. The title of the Xu family is also called the Duke of Devonshire. The Cavendish family is very influential in politics and science education. "This is Gerald Pat, a rising star in the Conservative Party, now running for the mayor of London!" Carter Howard once again introduced the younger blond middle-aged handsome guy. Xia Yu couldn''t help but be surprised. He finally remembered who this was. He had read reports about him in the newspaper before. Now that the British election has entered, it will be clear with only two months left. All parties are preparing for the final effort, and the important position of the Mayor of London has naturally become the target of fierce competition. The Conservative Party, the Labor Party and the Liberal Democrats have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but the Liberal Democrat candidate Jack Padre has little hope. A recent poll showed that his vote rate was 21%. Because the Labour Party is still in office at this time and has more convenience in hand, although the people are disappointed with the Labour Party, the Labour Party¡¯s candidate for mayor of London Nick Kisson received 40% of the votes, ranking first. As for the Conservative Party¡¯s candidate for mayor of London, it is Gerald Pat. Polls show that his vote rate is 39%, which is a bit behind Nick Kisson for the time being. Of course, this vote rate and ranking is only temporary, because there are still many voters who have not voted at this time, and now the votes of the three candidates only occupy the proportion of the votes already cast. If Jack Padro of the Liberal Democrats rises against the sky, it is not impossible to overtake. Although the probability is very low, it is not a typical case of a Jedi comeback in history. "Sir Cavendish, hello, I am Xia Yu from Xiangjiang. It''s an honor to meet you!" "Mr. Gerrard, hello, I wish you a successful campaign!" ... Perhaps because of Duke Carter Howard, Duke Cavendish and Gerald Parker were very friendly to Xia Yu. Especially Duke Cavendish, seeing Xia Yu¡¯s eyes a little strange, just when Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help but want to ask questions, he listened to him gently say: "Mr. Xia, I heard Carter talk about you. You are a genius, hope "Financial Times" can resound the world in your hands." Hearing what he said, Xia Yu was surprised. A suspicion floated in his heart. He heard Duke Carter Howard smile and say: "Mr. Xia, the Pearson Group is the property of the Cavendish family." That''s it! Unexpectedly, there is still this relationship! It seems that it was Carter Howard who asked Duke Cavendish to greet him, which allowed him to successfully buy the Financial Times Group in the hands of Pearson Group. "Thank you Lord Sir for your accomplishment, please look back You will not be disappointed!" Xia Yu said gratefully. Duke Cavendish smiled kindly. After that, Xia Yu seized the opportunity and continued to expand his contacts with the help of Duke Carter Howard. Those who are eligible to participate in the reception are not important members of the Conservative Party and political rising stars, or powerful people, such as British aristocrats or wealthy businessmen. Knowing these people is a great benefit to Xia Yu. Before long, Xia Yu In exchange for a large stack of business cards. All this was seen by Duke Carter Howard and others. They had no objection, but in their hearts Xia Yu was a person who was good at seizing opportunities. Soon, Xia Yu saw Margaret Thatcher, the leader of the Conservative Party, appear, and the reception officially began. /txt/87390/ . _Mobile version reading URL: Baidu search novel sites, novels, all novels v2 Chapter 554: Political investment "Today, I am honored to invite everyone here to join the Conservative Party..." Margaret Thatcher stood in the center of the stage and spoke elegantly and decently. The 53-year-old has served as the Minister of Education and Science of the United Kingdom and became the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975, so she is very prominent in her personality. Xia Yu listened quietly to Margaret''s speech, and clapped from time to time. After the speech, Margaret showed her resolute personal style, and began to tell the people present about the Conservative Party''s ruling policy, and elaborated on the benefits of the Conservative Party''s approach to Britain and the capitalists invited. Xia Yu''s Yuguang glanced at Elena next to her, staring at Marguerite on the stage with a strange light shining in her beautiful eyes. "Margaret''s personality is really strong, Elena has been affected, and I don''t know if it is good or bad..." Xia Yu secretly said in his heart. Margaret¡¯s personal charm is unquestionable. Xia Yu is not touting her. In her previous life, Margaret was the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom and was re-elected as prime minister of the United Kingdom for three terms from 1979 to 1990. Later, because he failed to defeat his opponent Michael Hercetin, he failed to continue the legend. In the previous life, Britain has selected the 100 greatest British people in history, among which Margaret Thatcher ranked 16th. Margaret Thatcher''s speech is still going on. After she finished her ruling policy, she focused on the current situation of the Conservative Party in the general election. Parliament is the center stage of British politics and the highest legislative body in Britain. The government emerges from the parliament and is responsible for it. The British Parliament is bicameral, consisting of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Among them, the House of Commons has more rights than the House of Lords. The House of Lords is called the House of Nobles and is mainly composed of descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, newly-appointed nobles, judges of the Court of Appeal, and important figures of the church, and members of the House of Lords are not elected by election. The most prominent power of the House of Lords is the judicial power left over from history, so it is the highest judicial organ in the UK. The House of Commons is also called the House of Commons or the House of Representatives. Its members are directly elected for a term of five years. The main powers of the House of Commons are to legislate, supervise finances and the government. The country is divided into multiple constituencies with basically the same number of voters, and each constituency elects a member of the House of Commons. Most constituencies are members of a political party, but people without political background can also participate in the election. At this time, the United Kingdom has divided a total of 650 electoral districts, corresponding to 650 seats in the House of Commons. Knowing the system of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, we can see that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is not directly elected. The general election in the United Kingdom is actually the election of a new member of the House of Commons. When members of a political party account for more than 50% of the total number of hospitals in the House of Commons, this party is the ruling party, and the leader of the party is appointed by the Queen of England as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and is responsible for forming the cabinet. If the party with the largest number of seats does not have more than 50% of the seats, then it can only form a joint cabinet with other parties. How or with whom to join depends on the negotiation of each party. But one thing is for sure, the joint cabinet formation is lame even if you become the British Prime Minister, and will often be at a loss. At this time, the 650 regional parliamentary elections have reached a climax, and some traditional constituencies of the Conservative Party have already produced results. Now the Conservative Party has won 172 parliamentary seats, which is 183 short of half of the 325 seats. The Labour Party is not too bad. It has already won 169 parliamentary seats. This is still achieved despite the bad reputation. The reason is that the current Prime Minister belongs to the Labour Party and chose a favorable time to start the election for the House of Commons. This is the incumbent. The advantages of the ruling party. As for the Liberal Democrats? After coming to power in 1916-1922, he has never been in power again. Therefore, most of the power has been divided by the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. It has been devastated. At this time, only 32 parliamentary seats were taken, which is pitiful. Because the Conservative Party and the Labor Party do not have many seats, the competition is fierce for regions that have not yet been elected. Both sides have kept increasing their exposure in the media, stating the advantages of their own campaign policies to voters, and wantonly criticizing each other. . In addition, the Conservative Party and the Labor Party have also launched a money-burning model, and they have held political activities to show off and create momentum. There is only one purpose for all this, and that is the votes in the hands of voters! ... Soon, Margaret Thatcher finished her speech and the fundraising phase officially began. Because it is a political donation, there must be many people who will appeal afterwards, so it is not anonymous. The Conservative Party has a dedicated table and personnel responsible for collection and registration. Xia Yu saw that some people had already walked over there and started donation registration. He was not in a hurry, but chatted with Gerald Pat. If I remember correctly, Gerald Pat has indeed succeeded in ascending the throne of the mayor of London. It is undoubtedly a good choice to invest in him before he has fully risen. After all, the Mayor of London is already a high-ranking member of the British government. If the relationship with Gerald Pat is established, the threat of Governor MacLehose to Xia Yu will be greatly weakened. In particular, the top leaders of the major departments of the Hong Kong government have the right to appoint them in the hands of the British government. Among them, there are more places that can be manipulated and influenced. "Mr. Gerrard, I am concerned about the London campaign. Nick Kisson of the Labour Party is not your opponent, although his votes are a little higher now, so I congratulate you in advance for your successful campaign." Xia Yu said with a smile. Gerald Pat smiled faintly and said: "Thank you, but the Labor Party has a great influence in London. Although I am confident, the result is not the end and everything is still unknown." Duke Carter Howard on the side suddenly smiled and said to Gerald Pat: "Gerard, now your vote rate is a bit lower than Nick Kisson, but if you have Mr. Xia''s help, I believe you are very likely. Beat him early." Hearing what Duke Carter Howard said, Gerald Pat was no longer indifferent. He moved in his heart and looked at Duke Carter Howard and looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face. doubt. He did not know the details of Xia Yu. Duke Carter Howard just introduced Xia Yu from Xiangjiang, or a friend of the Howard family, the boss of his daughter Elena, and just learned that he bought it from the Pearson Group. The Financial Times Group, he doesn''t know anything else, but now that Duke Carter Howard said so, he must have his reason. Just as Gerald Pat guessed, Duke Carter Howard gave him a puzzle: "Gerald, Mr. Xia has the reputation of Xiangjiang stock god, and the Bright Fund he manages is not only a major shareholder of China Commercial Bank, but also It also owns the Financial Times Group and the Daily Telegraph." When these words came out, Gerald Pat was shocked and looked at Xia Yu solemnly. "Mr. Xia, I remember that the owner of the "Daily Telegraph" is Black?" "That was before. I just bought the "Daily Telegraph" not long ago. Maybe the time is too short. The news hasn''t spread yet." Xia Yu explained with a smile. Although Xia Yu said lightly, Gerald Pat had to change his mind at this time. The ability to acquire the Financial Times Group and the "Daily Telegraph" fully shows that Xia Yu''s financial strength is strong and he is a proper big benefactor. Moreover, he values ??the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times more than money. With these two top British newspapers in hand, Xia Yu can be said to be a media magnate, and in this critical period, propaganda channels The effect is too great. If these two newspapers continue to promote him, he is absolutely confident to defeat Nick Kisson. Duke Carter Howard was right. If Xia Yu is willing to help him, he is definitely likely to win early. PS: Happy Holidays everyone! By the way, ask for a recommended monthly pass at the beginning of the month! v2 Chapter 555: 0 million pounds "Mr. Xia, your business is so big that I am ignorant, and I didn''t even find a big man like you in London." Gerald Pat said sincerely, implying flattery but also very natural. Being thick-skinned is the basic skill of a politician. As one of the rising political stars in the Conservative Party, Gerald Pat is naturally not bad in this regard. After learning about Xia Yu''s details, his attitude became very enthusiastic, but he was not It will appear abrupt. Xia Yu smiled faintly, feeling very normal, and Gerald Pat''s attitude was exactly what he needed. "Mr. Gerrard, I just came to London not long ago. I usually do activities at the Chinese Commercial Bank. Today is the second time I attended a large-scale cocktail party. The first time was not too long ago. It was the year-end reception of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce. So you I don¡¯t know if I am normal." Gerald Pat moved in his heart and asked calmly: "Mr. Xia, I didn''t expect you to be a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. I remember that the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is Mr. Wu Chengde." "Yes, my grandson and I are good friends. He also introduced me to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce some time ago and hung up as an honorary director." Xia Yu explained kindly, and inadvertently revealed another aspect of his influence. Sure enough, upon hearing Xia Yu''s words, Gerald Pat paid more attention to Xia Yu, and his attitude became more enthusiastic unconsciously. Xia Yu and Gerald Pat both have their own minds and can feel what the other is thinking. The hypocritical two will naturally take the initiative to find the topic, so the chat is very happy, even Duke Carter Howard and Ai Lina and Duke Cavendish didn''t know when they went elsewhere. "Mr. Gerrard, not long after I came to the UK, I have a feeling that the Chinese seem to be more independent and have little participation in politics. The British government has no obvious policies for minorities. Is that true?" Xia Yu provoked another topic. When it comes to ethnic minorities and politics, Gerald Pat has to answer solemnly. After all, he is a politician. If he becomes the mayor of London, this is also a problem he has to face. What''s more, he also knew the identity of Xia Yu. As soon as the question came out, Gerald Pat would naturally think about the investigation, and wanted to state his views to Xia Yu in order to obtain his Recognized. "Mr. Xia, this is indeed the case. Although the government''s policies are all aimed at improving people''s livelihood, developing the economy and alleviating social conflicts, it is impossible to cover everything because of funding, personnel, energy and other issues. It is necessary for the councillors of each constituency to discover what is happening in the district. Questions are raised in the parliament and will be submitted to the government for approval and promulgation after discussion and approval." "For minorities, whether they are Asians or Africans, we outsiders don¡¯t even know what policies they need. Asians¡¯ political participation is not high, especially Chinese, they basically give up politics. We have worked **** life and rights, but we are sorry, so I am sorry that the British government has let you down." Speaking of this, Gerald Pat shrugged helplessly, with an apologetic expression on his face. To be honest, for Asians, especially the more special Chinese, whether it is the Conservative Party, the Labor Party or the Liberal Democrats, they have tried to win their support and votes. But unfortunately, the ethnic Chinese are very xenophobic. After several political parties have worked hard, they found that no one can win, so all three parties will give up. As these voters do not exist, everyone is still on the same starting line. Of course, if the Chinese are willing to change, I believe the three political parties will actively try to win them over. I saw Xia Yu faintly smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Gerrard, you don''t have to be sorry, it is really our own willingness to say it, it may be a cultural issue, Chinese people generally do not have a high degree of political participation." "But I think that since we live in the UK, we have to adapt to the British environment. Every citizen has political life and rights. If we don''t speak up, we can''t blame others for a bad life." "I think the Chinese should make changes, and they can make changes." Speaking of this, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Gerald Pat. Gerald Pat''s glasses lit up and his heart was about to move. Xia Yu is not an ordinary Chinese. It can be said that he is the most influential person of Chinese descent. He is also friends with the Wu family. If he is really willing to make efforts to let Chinese descent support him in running for mayor and support the Conservative Party, then absolutely Can keep the ticket difference far! This is a great opportunity! Gerald Pat said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xia, I agree with your point of view. If you need to use me, please feel welcome." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Mr. Gerrard, then I''m not welcome. I just like the Conservative Party policy, but there are still many things I don''t understand. If I have the opportunity, I would like to ask you for advice. ." The profound meaning of Xia Yu''s words was heard by Gerald Pat. He was a little excited. This is Xia Yu throwing an olive branch at him. As long as he seizes the opportunity to satisfy Xia Yu, he can gain support from Xia Yu and even the Chinese. , How can he not get excited? "Mr. Xia, I wonder if I will be free tomorrow? The bluefin tuna I ordered will be delivered to my house tomorrow. My wife is better at cooking food." Gerald Pat found an excuse and asked expectantly. Xia Yu is also a qualified actor, showing an unexpected smile: "Really? I like bluefin tuna, so I''m not welcome." "It''s my pleasure that you are willing to come!" "Where shall I meet you tomorrow afternoon?" Gerald Pat asked quickly. "Then trouble you, tomorrow I will be at the Chinese Commercial Bank in the City of London." "Okay, I will be there by then!" Xia Yu finished speaking with a smile, then chatted with Gerald Pat, and then it was enough. He looked at the fundraising stand, and it was no longer so crowded, and said to Gerald Pat: "Mr. Gerrard, I''ll go and contribute to the Conservative Party first." "Thank you, you are busy first!" Gerald Pat bowed slightly and said gratefully Although Xia Yu''s donation may not fall on him, the Conservative Party helped Fukuzawa help him. Xia Yu did not leave immediately. Instead, in front of Gerald Pat¡¯s eyes, he took out a stack of blank checks from the Chinese Commercial Bank from his inner pocket, picked up a pen and wrote on the spot. Xia Yu didn''t hesitate to write a 1 and six 0s, and then signed his name. All this was seen by Gerald Pat. He was shocked when he saw Xia Yu writing a one-million-pound check lightly, and the importance he attached to Xia Yu once again increased several levels. A donation of 1 million pounds is enough to become the highest donation for this reception, and Xia Yu was able to donate it at will. Seeing the spotlight, Gerald Pat has a clearer concept of Xia Yu''s strength. It really was a golden thigh, and it was not a chicken leg, but an elephant leg! Now that this golden thigh is naked in front of him, we must seize the opportunity tomorrow! If this million pounds supports him, no, he can organize more than ten large-scale political events with only half a million pounds, and coupled with media propaganda, he can definitely widen the gap with Nick Kisson. Xia Yu''s performance of Gerald Pat was caught by Xia Yu, but he thought he hadn''t noticed, smiled at him, and walked to the donation desk with emotion in his eyes. One million pounds? how? For this kind of donation that may be exchanged for huge benefits, more can not be exaggerated. If you don''t donate so much, how can you calm Gerald Pat? How can Margaret Thatcher be attracted? If Margaret Thatcher can be completely tied up, let alone a million pounds, as long as she dares to collect, Xia Yu will dare to give 100 million pounds! PS: The first one, there is one more in the evening, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation! v2 Chapter 556: committed to "Hello sir, thank you for your support!" As soon as Xia Yu walked to the fundraising stand, a courtesy lady specially arranged by the Conservative Party gave Xia Yu a sweet smile and expressed gratitude. Xia Yu responded with a smile and came to a young Jim who was in charge of collection and registration. Seeing Xia Yu taking out the check, Jim also bowed to Xia Yu to thank him, and then accepted Xia Yu''s check. Everyone who comes to donate has prepared a check. This is conducive to the Conservative Party''s collection of money and political donations. No one will use a fake check. After receiving Xia Yu''s check, Jim of the Conservative Party procedurally looked at the amount above, but at this look, his face changed, one plus a string of zeros, and his heart beat suddenly. Fearing that he might be wrong, he took a closer look again and found that it was indeed a million pounds. He looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face. Originally, Xia Yu was a yellow man and surprised him. Now Xia Yu has donated another million pounds. The guests who donated before were generally one or two thousand pounds, and a few thousand pounds less. Donations of more than 50,000 yuan are only more than ten. , The one with the largest donation was 200,000 pounds, but Xia Yu directly doubled it five times. To be honest, so much money is very beneficial to the Conservative Party, but considering that Xia Yu is very unfamiliar and the focus is on yellow skin, he has to be cautious. Seeing Jim''s scruples, Xia Yu smiled lightly and said to him: "Don''t worry, the check is true. You can go to China Commercial Bank to exchange it at any time. My name is Xia Yu." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the pen on the table and wrote down his Chinese and English names. Then he nodded and left. Seeing Xia Yu returned to the crowd, Jim spoke to his companions, found another person to take the post, and then quickly found his immediate boss. And Jim''s boss also felt tricky after listening, and finally had to report to Margaret Thatcher, who was the highest on the scene. By coincidence, Margaret was chatting with Duke Howard and the others, and when she saw her subordinates beckoning to her, she apologized to Duke Howard and the others, and then came to the subordinates. "Leader, the fundraiser has set aside some situation, continue to make your decision." After the subordinates finished speaking, he asked Jim, who knew the matter best, to stand up and state. "Leader, I just received a check with one million pounds on it." Jim said respectfully, and then presented the check in his hand. Margaret''s face changed slightly, and she accepted the cheque and took a closer look. It really was a million pounds, a huge political donation. And based on her experience, it should be a real check, but the signature on it made her frown. At this time, Jim immediately added: "Leader, this check is donated by an Asian gentleman named Xia Yu, that''s it!" With that said, Jim pointed to Xia Yu, who had been staring long ago. Margaret followed Jim¡¯s point and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a very young Asian man talking to the party¡¯s political star Gerald Pat Laughed. Did you know Gerald? Wait, this man seems to be with Duke Howard just now! "Did he say anything else?" Margaret Thatcher did not immediately consult Duke Howard, but asked Jim carefully. Jim shook his head immediately: "He just said that this check is real and can go to Huashang Bank to redeem it at any time, and his name is Xia Yu. After saying this, he left the check and left." Margaret Thatcher''s eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded to Jim and the others: "Okay, I see, I will hold the check first, and you will go back to work." "Good leader!" Excuse me, Jim and his boss left immediately. Returning to the group of Duke Howard again, she smiled and asked Duke Howard: "Sir Carter, I want to ask you, do you know an Asian named Xia Yu? That''s it!" When he heard Margaret¡¯s question, Duke Carter Howard was a little surprised and nodded and replied: "I know him. I gave him the invitation. He is my friend. What''s wrong?" Margaret Thatcher breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "So you know, he just donated a million pounds, because the amount is too big, my assistant dare not accept it, so he just reported to me. " "One million pounds?" Duke Carter Howard was also surprised by this number. He did not expect Xia Yu to donate so much! But this effect is really good. No, Margaret paid attention to it. This is a great opportunity! Therefore, Duke Howard immediately said: "Ms. Margaret, I talked to Mr. Xia. He agrees with the Conservative Party''s campaign policy. He has donated a million pounds and I think it can be accepted." "By the way, although Mr. Xia is from Hong Kong, he also has a career in London. "Financial Times" and "Daily Telegraph" are his company''s industries." As soon as this remark came out, Margaret suddenly became interested. She remembered that the two newspapers had no political stance before, but now the boss actually came to the Conservative Party reception and made a large donation. This is an extremely favorable signal. As the leader of the Conservative Party, she must seize this opportunity. "Sir Carter, I think it is necessary for me to thank him for his donation. I wonder if you can introduce it on your behalf?" Margaret smiled and pleaded with Carter Howard. "It''s my pleasure, please!" After speaking, Duke Carter Howard led Margaret toward Xia Yu''s direction. This action attracted the attention of many people around him. The surrounding changes were noticed by Xia Yu. He looked for the source of the changes and found Duke Carter Howard and others. Moreover, the future Iron Lady looked at him with a smile, and when she approached, she proactively extended her hand. Xia Yu greeted him and shook hands with him. "Mr. Xia, hello, nice to meet you!" Margaret did not treat Xia Yu specially because she was young, but still used the honorific name "you", which was her consistent style. "Ms. Margaret, it''s an honor to know you. I didn''t expect you to come. It surprised me too much!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and at the same time let go of his hand. Margaret smiled gently and said: "Mr. Xia, your participation in our reception is your support for us. As the leader of the Conservative Party, I have this obligation to thank you for coming." "And I just learned that you donated a million pounds to us. This surprised me. So far, you have donated the most for this event. Thank you for your great support!" "Ms. Margaret, thank you very much. I agree with the policies of the Conservative Party. I sincerely hope that the Conservative Party can win. This is not only for us, but also for the British people!" Xia Yu bluntly said that his attitude was very sincere. Marguerite smiled even more: "Thank you for your recognition. This is our greatest encouragement!" ... "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, do you own the Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph?" After the greeting, Marguerite pondered for a moment and then asked suddenly. In her view, asking for someone requires an attitude of asking for someone. If you need Xia Yu''s help and support, you can no longer ask for Xia Yu to take the initiative. Instead, she needs to show a positive attitude to make the request succeed. It would be counterproductive. "Yes, both newspapers have just been acquired." Xia Yu answered with a smile. Margaret smiled and solemnly asked, "Mr. Xia, I have a request. I wonder if I can ask you for help to let more people understand the policies of our Conservative Party?" Xia Yu pondered, looked at Duke Carter Howard, and then at Margaret. He felt that it was enough to serve him, and said with a smile: "Of course!" Margaret smiled and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you for your support. We will remember your generosity. You are a distinguished friend of the Conservative Party. We are honored!" With Margaret''s clear attitude, Xia Yu is also very happy: "It is also my honor to be a friend of the Conservative Party!" ... We chatted for a while Margaret left. As the core person of this cocktail party, she had to entertain as many important guests as possible, and chatting with Xia Yu for seven or eight minutes was considered very Long time. As for Duke Carter Howard, he looked at Xia Yu with admiration, said a few words with Xia Yu, and went to other places. When the goal was achieved, Xia Yu was relieved. Although Margaret¡¯s promise is very general, it is effective. After all, she can¡¯t make a promise if she doesn¡¯t know the situation, and it¡¯s not easy to say a lot of things. Both sides need to be aware of it, otherwise it will On the surface, it has become a transaction of power and wealth. Although there is a widely spread saying that politicians have the most ugly faces, and they change when they say change, but it depends on who. For ordinary people, the policy may change at any time, but for the sponsors and supporters of Xia Yu, the Conservative Party dare not promise lightly. As long as the promised reception party will do its best to achieve it, otherwise, if the sponsor is scammed, it is right. The reputation of the Conservative Party will have a very bad influence. Therefore, although Margaret did not make a clear statement, Xia Yu was satisfied. The relationship has been caught up, and when the time comes, Duke Carter Howard will come forward again, presumably the Rolls-Royce Motor Company matter is okay. Moreover, this million pounds and the support of the media are not only effective for Rolls-Royce Motor Company. As long as the relationship continues to deepen, there will be more places to be used later. For ordinary people, the policy may change at any time, but for the sponsors and supporters of Xia Yu, the Conservative Party dare not promise lightly. As long as the promised reception party will do its best to achieve it, otherwise, if the sponsor is scammed, it is right. The reputation of the Conservative Party will have a very bad influence. Therefore, although Margaret did not make a clear statement, Xia Yu was satisfied. . . . . v2 Chapter 557: Finally here The position of honorary director of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce was of great help to Xia Yu. With this status, he quickly integrated into the Chinese business community. The membership was introduced by Wu Chengde. Without mentioning the cooperative relationship between Xia Yu and the Wu family, Xia Yu¡¯s strength surpassed the Wu family. If it was given to an ordinary member, Wu Chengde himself would not be able to lose that face, so After internal discussions, Xia Yu was given the title of honorary director, and the other directors had no opinion. Because he agreed to Gerald Pat to call on the Chinese to vote for him, Xia Yu directly approached Wu Chengde and asked him to come forward and convene the senior leaders of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Xia Yu stated at the meeting the strong relationship, and the victory and benefits of the Conservative Party. In the end, Xia Yu''s proposal was passed, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce took the lead in calling on the Chinese to support the Conservative Party and Gerald Pat. Of course, this proposal will be passed, and it is not without giving Xia Yu face. The British Chinese Chamber of Commerce has a great influence on the Chinese. After the Chinese Chamber of Commerce took action, the Chinese with the right to vote immediately cast their votes to the Conservative Party and Gerald Pat. And Xia Yu''s actions were not slow. The "Daily Telegraph" turned to the Conservative Party, and its propaganda page for the Conservative Party and Gerald Pat was greatly increased. Although the daily circulation has dropped a little as a result, some extremists who support the Labor Party and the Liberal Democrats no longer subscribe to the "Daily Telegraph", but Xia Yu doesn''t care at all. Relative to huge political interests, some newspaper sales are nothing. If he could get a huge benefit, he would not frown even if he sacrificed the "Daily Telegraph". As for Gerald Pat himself, after receiving financial support from Xia Yu, many of the political activities that were originally formulated were immediately used. He frequently appeared in various places in London, and his popularity increased greatly. All sorts of methods are used. Although it has only just begun, the polls in mid-February showed that Gerald Pat¡¯s vote rate soared to 49%, a direct increase of 10% from 39% last month. And this is just the beginning! As for the Labour Party¡¯s candidate Nick Kisson, the poll''s vote rate dropped from 40% last month to 33%, which made him panic, and the Labour Party had to make urgent adjustments. But the Conservative Party is not a vegetarian. Seeing the political star in the party, Gerald Pat, has made his own efforts, he was pleasantly surprised by investing more resources to consolidate and expand its advantages. London is the capital of the United Kingdom, and the position of mayor is very important. Regardless of whether the Conservative Party can regain power, it must be taken as far as possible. If he succeeds in governing, then the Mayor of London is his own. In many cases, policies can be strongly supported and implemented, so there is no need to worry about being delayed. If he fails to govern and wins the position of Mayor of London, he can also add to his opponents and gain momentum for the next general election. In terms of politics, Xia Yu has already started, and in terms of career, Xia Yu has not slackened. After Duke Carter Howard intervened, the core position of the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition team shifted to Elena, and George Berkeley had no opinion. The acquisition has finally dawned, and it has begun to enter a normal track. Although the process has not been fast, Xia Yu is not in a hurry. He knew that the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company could not be completed in a short time. The decisive time should be after May. As long as the Conservative Party successfully takes the stage, the resistance to the acquisition will be greatly reduced. Good things are hard to come by, take your time! Xia Yu put a lot of thought into forming the Chinese business consortium. The first step of privatization of Huashang Bank has already begun, and several shareholders have already opted out after Wu Chengde has done work. The Wu family¡¯s shareholding in Huashang Bank has risen a lot, and Xia Yu¡¯s Guangming Fund did not care. The shareholding ratio rose from 15% to 18.6%. As long as the internal equity is resolved, Huashang Bank will formally submit an application for delisting and privatization to the London Securities Regulatory Commission. I believe that Xia Yu will have another bite of meat and increase his equity to more than 20%. thing. The civil unrest in Iran continued, and the price of London gold kept rising until March 4, when the situation again changed significantly. Under strong pressure from European and American countries, Iran restarted its oil exports, and the trend of soaring international oil prices was finally contained to a certain extent. However, it is a pity that the consequences of soaring international oil prices for a few months have already emerged. The inflation in the United States has intensified and the dollar has continued to depreciate. This has led to international capital still relying on the gold market and not wanting to come out, and international gold prices continue to rise. It''s just that the rate of increase is no longer as fast as before. Under Xia Yu''s instructions, Liu Xiao and others began to take action, doing the work of left-handed and right-handed, arranging the funds in batches, leaving a small part of the funds to use 100 times the financial leverage to accept the fund''s gold futures sell orders. To put it simply, it is to use the money obtained from the bank to use the leverage to buy gold futures in one''s own account. After the futures are exchanged for the account, the money from UU Reading bank is in his pocket. This is also good, not to mention relative confidentiality, but also more convenient and fast. After a few months, international capital has been trading in the London gold market, and the momentum of the US dollar has become clear. Therefore, it has become very difficult to buy gold in the market. Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy, and you have to pay a premium. At this moment, Xia Yu quietly boarded the plane returning to Xiangjiang. After internal discussions with Hong Kong businessmen and communication with the mainland, the time for going north was set on March 8. Xia Yu must go back. All matters in the United Kingdom were managed by his subordinates, and Xia Yu was able to leave with peace of mind. And Xia Yu was accompanied by Mr. Huashengshi, and there were large quantities of antiques on the plane. After returning this time, the antiques will be stored in Xia Yu''s mansion first, and Hua Shengshi will be responsible for the specific layout. At the same time, Huashengshi will also go to his friends to discuss the matter of establishing a private museum face to face. The construction of a large private museum is not an overnight task. It will take a few years to say nothing. The Huashengshi is already old, so he is very concerned about this matter, for fear that he will not see the establishment of a private museum in his lifetime. After leaving Xiangjiang for several months, when Xia Yu came back, he did not take care of the work, and turned down the invitation of all the Xiangjiang bosses to accept the dust, and went straight back home to be with his family. After eating a warm dinner, Xia Yu chatted with his parents in the living room, telling them many interesting facts about what he had seen and heard in the UK, and at the same time, he also understood what happened at home in the past few months and cared about the learning situation of his younger siblings. . The night was joyous and warm, Xia Yu''s heart completely relaxed. The next day, because the time to go north was approaching, many things had not been understood clearly, so early in the morning, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong made an appointment to meet at Bao Yugang''s home and ask them about the situation. v2 Chapter 558: Gifts prepared by Kitakami The servants of the Bao family were already familiar with Xia Yu, so when he saw him coming, they welcomed him in without any hindrance, and immediately notified Bao Yugang. When Xia Yu just entered the door of Bao''s house, Bao Yugang uttered an angry laugh: "Xia Yu, I haven''t seen you for months, please come inside!" "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, long time no see, I really miss it!" Xia Yu responded and saw Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang who were standing up in the house. There was no one else except Bao Yugang''s son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. After the greeting, Xia Yu took his seat, and the three of them drank tea and chatted about leisurely days, such as the major events that have occurred in Xiangjiang in recent months, and some of the things experienced in the UK. "Xia Yu, I really have to thank you. Now that the international gold price has risen to more than US$500 an ounce, we have enjoyed your blessing!" Bao Yugang said with emotion that the changes in the past few months and the unstable international situation caused the international gold price to soar, which really opened his eyes. What followed was his extreme admiration for Xia Yu. At the same time, there is also sincere gratitude to Xia Yu. The international gold price has more than doubled, and their funds have also leveraged leverage. Although they did not take the initiative to ask how much money they have made, they will know that it will be a huge amount after thinking about it. . "What are you talking about between us!" "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, if you don''t need to spend money during this period, I suggest that you don''t move your money for the time being. The international gold price will continue to rise in the future, and the appreciation space is relatively large." Xia Yu said with a smile. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong glanced at each other, and both nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to you to arrange." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and talked about going north. Because Huo Yingdong took the lead in organizing the mission northward, and he was responsible for the specific contact and docking, so Xia Yu asked him: "Old Huo, what is the specific situation about the northward trip?" Because Xia Yu had been in the UK before, many things were inconvenient to say on the phone, and it was also difficult to explain clearly, so Xia Yu was not clear about the Xiangjiang business group going north. The simplest thing is that he doesn''t even know who is going to go. . Huo Yingdong had already prepared the draft, and immediately said: "This time after communicating with me over there, I organized a delegation to go north in the official name. The Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency issued an invitation to us. The Hong Kong government has no comments on it. ." "Moreover, since the mainland decided to open up to the outside world on December 18 last year, there has been a restless atmosphere in the entire Xiangjiang industrial and commercial circles. There are many people who have ideas and want to touch the specific attitude of the mainland. After all, it is theirs. Choose, so this time we call on everyone to form a group to go north, the number of respondents is several times that of previous sessions, and there are many people." "So far, the higher-level people who are already preparing to go north, there are me, Lao Bao, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Wang Dehui, Lin Baixin, Hu Yingxiang, Qiu Degen, Dong Haoyun... It can be said that most of the influential people in Xiangjiang are prepared. Go north." Hearing so many people preparing to go north, Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling. There are so many people, the more the better! Only in this way can there be more funds to invest in the mainland and provide a source of power for the development of the motherland. As a Chinese, this is what he would like to see most. Moreover, the larger the number of people, it is not only good for the mainland, but also good for him, so that he will be less visible, and it will be harder for the Hong Kong government and the British government to criticize or stumble upon him. After all, most of the Xiangjiang business community nowadays, those who can influence the future of Xiangjiang are ready to go north, unless the British government really intends to complete the mainland, otherwise it will definitely not dare to target everyone going north at the same time. If you do this, it is equivalent to pushing everyone to the mainland, and the British government is not so stupid. As for the credit and impression points that are highlighted if there are fewer people, Xia Yu doesn''t care. Face and lizi are both. Xia Yu chooses lizi. Before his strength is insufficient, making a fortune in silence is the best choice. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s smile, Huo Yingdong looked a little serious instead, worried that Xia Yu was too optimistic, and said to him: ¡°Xia Yu, although this time is the largest number, many people are thinking about investigating the mainland. Yes, so it¡¯s hard to say what the result will be." Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said: "I believe in the mainland, it involves the issue of big right and wrong, I believe in the wisdom of the heroes who conquered the world." Bao Yugang also smiled and said to Huo Yingdong: "Old Huo, if you care about it, you will be confused. Xia Yu is right. Although you are the leader of the organization, there is no need to be so stressed. At least you are already under pressure. It is very successful, and it will be handed over to the mainland in the future. If you worry, it will be useless to worry, so relax." During this period of time, Bao Yugang witnessed Huo Yingdong conscientiously running for the northward affairs, and he naturally knew what he was worried about, and knew the passion in his heart. To be honest, Bao Yugang admired Huo Yingdong from the bottom of his heart, so in many cases, he assisted Huo Yingdong with all his strength. This time he was able to organize so many people to go northward, and he was also indispensable! Hearing Xia Yu and Bao Yugang both said this, Huo Yingdong sighed secretly, shook his head slightly and said with a mockery: "Yes, my mood still needs to be tempered..." Xia Yu skipped this topic and revisited one thing: "Lao Huo, Lao Bao, what have you prepared for this trip to the north?" Huo Yingdong said directly: "I have prepared at least 500 million Hong Kong dollars to make a good start. If it goes well, there will be no capping!" Xia Yu raised his brows and couldn''t help but praised: "Old Huo, it''s okay, you are going to die!" Huo Yingdong smiled and said: "The Hong Kong government has branded me a long time ago, so I can only go one way to the end. Why look forward and backward!" "That''s the truth!" Bao Yugang said in admiration. "Old Bao, how about you?" Xia Yu turned to look at Bao Yugang and asked again. "I also prepared 500 million Hong Kong dollars, but where to invest and whether or not to invest depends on the specific situation. Now I can only say that I am mentally prepared." Bao Yugang said truthfully. Xia Yu nodded slightly to express understanding. The fact should be the same. The mainland''s decision to reform and open up can be said to be gold everywhere. It is not important whether to prepare for the project. As long as you can invest money, it is the greatest support. At the same time, you can basically seize the opportunity by investing money. And Xia Yu also believes that knowing that Hong Kong businessmen are coming with the gold bricks, the mainland will definitely want to list all the places that can accept investment for everyone to choose, and keep as much money as possible in the mainland. So why bother thinking about where to invest, just pick the one you like? "Xia Yu, how about you?" Bao Yugang asked, Huo Yingdong also looked at him curiously. The longer they have been in contact, the better they know about Xia Yu. Now in their hearts, they think that among the three of them, it can be said that Xia Yu is the one with the strongest financial resources, and he is also the one with the largest career. And Xia Yu''s thinking has always been unconstrained, so for Xia Yu, the little brother who went north for the first time, they were very curious about what Xia Yu had to prepare. In particular, Huo Yingdong was even more concerned. As the head of the northward mission, the more fruitful the results this time, the greater his credit. v2 Chapter 559: Shekou I saw a smile, Xia Yu said with a smile: "I am similar to everyone, and I have a relatively broad preparation. Investment must be invested, and the specific amount is not fixed. It mainly depends on which industries the mainland is willing to open." "At present, I will initially set up a toy factory, hotel and building on the opposite side. I am also planning to build a film and television city. The land price there must be cheaper than Xiangjiang. If conditions permit, I will build it on the opposite side. Let''s see the others." "My attitude is the same anyway, there is no cap on investment!" When these words came out, both Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang showed smiles on their faces. What Xia Yu said was really true. He who came from later generations naturally knew what the small fishing village on the opposite side of the sea would develop into in the future. Now as long as the investment in the past, the simplest way to get the land will make a lot of money. As for other future political instability factors, Xia Yu is not at all worried. This is self-confidence in himself, as well as confidence in high-level leaders. I dare not fight over the line, but the unification of the country is clearly reached by a high-level agreement and no one dares to violate it. Therefore, the assets of Hong Kong businessmen with amazing influence like Xia Yu are absolutely safe on the mainland, and high-level officials will never allow unstable factors that affect national unity. In this way, of course, you must rest assured to invest boldly, the earlier you enter the land, the fatter the crabs you will eat. ... Later, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong had known each other for a long time at Bao Yugang''s home, and learned some of the other people''s situation from Huo Yingdong''s mouth. According to the plan, on the evening of March 7th, all the people going north will meet again, and then on the morning of March 8th, the director of the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency will accompany everyone to board the passenger ship to the other side of the sea. After that, there will be people from Guodu to greet them. Everyone is free to spend a day in Pengcheng, which has just been renamed from Baoan, to find out the situation, and then everyone will take a special train to go north to Guodu. After understanding the procedures, there are still two days left. Time is tight. Xia Yu must choose someone to accompany him to the north. Because of the tight schedule, Xia Yu even temporarily postponed the matter of understanding the company''s situation, and waited for him to come back from the north. After some consideration, Xia Yu set down a list of personnel to accompany the north, including Li Qian, Yan Shining, Ma Tengdong, Liu Shihao, and Huang Xizhao. As for Yan Wenhan, Wang Qi, Liu Tianci and others, Xia Yu does not intend to bring them. After all, whether it is media or finance, the mainland will never open up. It is useless if you go. It is a waste of time. It is better to keep them here. Manage the company with peace of mind at home. Slightly special is Huang Xizhao, the director of Universal Television. Xia Yu took him there mainly to prepare for the film and television city. Of course, he also meant to let Huang Xizhao learn more about the mainland. In the past two days, Xia Yu accompanied He Chaoqiong by the way. He didn''t see Xia Yu for a few months. He Chaoqiong missed him a lot. He was so excited that he didn''t control himself. What happened that night made He Chaoqiong unforgettable. In a blink of an eye, it was at 8 o''clock in the morning on March 8. Xia Yu took Li Qian and other five people to the centralized hotel and met all the senior officials of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency, such as the first president Wang Ping and the second president Li Hua et al. Similarly, Huo Yingdong, who was the lead, stayed in the hotel directly last night, so he was here early. "Mr. Xia, early!" "President Wang, good morning!" Xia Yu shook hands with Wang Ping and greeted him. Wang Ping was very happy to see the people led by Xia Yu, especially the three capable personnel Ma Tengdong, Liu Shihao, and Huang Xizhao who were already on the list. Compared with some Xiangjiang businessmen with only secretaries and unclear attitudes, Xia Yu obviously made sufficient preparations, with the mentality of contributing to the mainland, and of course he was happy from the heart. "President Wang, you should be busy, don''t worry about me, I''ll go chat with other people." Seeing that someone came again, Xia Yu didn''t want to delay Wang Ping to meet the others, so he said to him. Soon, Xia Yu joined a group of bigwigs and chatted with each other. As time passed, more and more people were in the hotel. Finally, before 8:30, all the number 247, including the entourage, as counted last night, arrived, and then set off in a group to board the ship not far away. Shekou was still just a small fishing village with a population of only a few hundred people. Although it has not yet been developed, the construction of Shekou Port, the country''s largest transshipment center in the future, has not yet started, but due to its unique geographical advantages, there are some places that are enough to dock ships. The waterway between Yuen Long and Shekou in the New Territories of Hong Kong is only 3.5 nautical miles. The ship stopped shortly after boarding the ship. Xia Yu looked solemn when he saw a crowd of people standing on top of the simple fishing pier, and there were others holding a welcome banner. Then, Wang Ping and Huo Yingdong took the lead to disembark, followed by a group of people. After going down, Xia Yu learned that there were many heavyweights among the people greeted. The highest status is the Deputy Prime Minister Song from the capital, followed by the No. 1 and No. 2 in Guangdong Province, and the next level is the head of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, Liu Zhihe (Principal). Of course, the main reason for the arrival of the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders in Guangdong Province is to take this opportunity to get familiar with each other and prepare for the future gathering of capitalist wool. The main contact is Liu Zhihe, Deputy Prime Minister Song and Secretary Liu Zhihe. The direct contact will be Liu Zhihe. After the warm welcome ceremony, everyone under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Song first understood the basic situation of Shekou. Everyone can learn about some policies in the exquisite pamphlet in their hands. If you don''t understand anything, you can ask questions at any time. Along the way, Xia Yu did not behave very prominently. He watched the surroundings with a smile, with emotions in his eyes from time to time. Shekou at this time was really just a small fishing village, with a lot of businesses waiting to be flourished. In January this year, Baoan County was withdrawn to rebuild Pengcheng City. The highest level just approved it three days ago. At this time, it was only a small city with a GDP of less than 200 million. But among all the people present, who knows that in 40 years, the GDP of this small city waiting to be developed will increase by more than 10,000 times and become a top city with a GDP of more than two trillion yuan? With emotion, Xia Yu did not forget to understand the current information. Today, the highest level has only set a route for economic development. The circle that resounds throughout the country has not been drawn. As for the name of the Pengcheng Special Zone, the names of Shekou District, Nanshan District, and Luohu District have not appeared. The only thing that has been confirmed is that the 10.85 square kilometers of land in Shekou has already determined its properties. China Merchants Group has already settled in. Xia Yu also saw the signboard of China Merchants hanging in a small three-story building. Although Xia Yu is very interested in visiting Shekou, most of the people seem to be lacking in interest, even disappointed and scornful. These performances were all captured by Deputy Prime Minister Song. He could only use his strengths and avoid weaknesses as much as possible, focusing on explaining the future prospects. Fortunately, he was relieved that the top group of people did not show a disappointed attitude. On the contrary, some people were very interested. Especially Xia Yu, who was a special person, smiled throughout the whole process. The very interesting appearance made Deputy Prime Minister Song Song. satisfaction. v2 Chapter 560: Total suppression During the morning''s viewing, Xia Yu mainly had the mentality of play and memory. On the contrary, Ma Tengdong, Liu Shihao and Huang Xizhao, three capable cadres, kept watching and thinking seriously. Liu Shihao of Jiuding Real Estate Group even made gestures with a map of Shekou, still meditating on some data. Obviously, according to the boss Xia Yu¡¯s request, the site should be selected to see where to build the building and hotel, so as to make investment in the future. ready. At noon, because Shekou has not yet been developed, there are no luxury hotels nearby, but the mainland did its best to prepare a sumptuous lunch for everyone, and then everyone went to Yangcheng to rest for a night and then boarded early the next morning. Get on the plane and fly directly to the capital. After flying for about three and a half hours, it was already noon after the plane landed at Guodu Airport. Here, the mainland also arranged for a delegation to greet them, and held a short and warm welcome ceremony for everyone at the airport, and then took everyone to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to stay and have lunch. At this time, the capital of the country, due to objective reasons, many commercial service facilities are not perfect. For example, the number of hotels is not only small, but also low-grade, which is completely inferior to the high-rise buildings of later countries. In 1979, there were only a few hotels in the capital for foreign-related reception, and no matter whether it was reception capacity or supporting service software, there was no way to compare with Xiangjiang''s star-rated hotels. But this time the largest group of Xiangjiang industrial and commercial circles to go northward, the mainland of course cannot do its best, so the decision was made and everyone arranged to stay in the Diaoyutai State Guest House, which specializes in foreign affairs concierge services. The ancient Diaoyutai was built in the Jin Dynasty 800 years ago. Since Emperor Jin Zhangzong once built a fishing platform here, it was later known as the "Emperor''s Diaoyutai". Diaoyutai has survived the past dynasties. Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty also personally wrote a poem "Diaoyutai" for the urn gate on the west side of Diaoyutai. Today, the upper wall of the urn gate on the west side still has the stone forehead of the three characters of Qianlong book embedded. Today''s Diaoyutai State Guest House is built on the basis of the ancient Diaoyutai. It is located in the ancient Diaoyutai Scenic Area outside Fuchengmen in the western suburbs of Beijing. It is about one kilometer from north to south and 0.5 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of ??420,000 square meters. There are many important landmarks near Diaoyutai State Guest House, such as the Naval General Hospital, Zhongshan Radio and Television Tower, State Administration of Taxation, Military Museum, National Bureau of Statistics, etc. Of course, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, which is closely related to the Xiangjiang and his party, is also nearby. Facilitate the contact of this trip. Since the expansion before the National Day in 1959, it has hosted hundreds of foreign heads of state and government. For example, President Nixon of the US delegation in 1972 stayed in Building 18, which is dedicated to receiving heads of state and government. Today, because of the large number of people, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse directly opened ten buildings to arrange for the industrial and commercial group to move in. Xia Yu, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and many other top tycoons were directly arranged to live in Building 18. This kind of courtesy shows that the mainland attaches great importance to the Xiangjiang group. After eating a delicious lunch, the mainland did not arrange any activities in the afternoon. It is estimated that it was due to the fatigue of the group of people, boats and vehicles, so that everyone had a good rest. The formal greet was placed at the dinner, and it was specially arranged in the Great Hall of the People. At that time, the Supreme Elder and other high-level meetings would personally attend the meeting to meet everyone. However, there was still some time before the evening. Xia Yu and the others had nothing to do, and they went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse with everyone. It happened that Li Qian, Ma Tengdong, Huang Xizhao, and Liu Shihao were four Xiangjiang people who had not experienced Chinese classical culture and culture. The beauty of the building, just take this opportunity to appreciate it. Building No. 18 is a Ming-style building, located in the center of Diaoyutai, on the north side of the center. The presidential suite is quaint, imitating Ming-style decoration and interior, which is quite royal. The appearance of the elegant and luxurious ancient buildings is magnificent. The old gilt bronze lions in the Old Summer Palace are on both sides of the gate. Outside the building is forested with rockeries and rugged rocks. By the side of the clear lake, a tree of weeping willows has been pulled out, and groups of colorful koi in the lake wander comfortably in the water. The chirping of birds and insects from time to time makes people feel relieved. What a quiet and peaceful place away from the noise. "Why, Shihao, have you come for inspiration?" Seeing Liu Shihao''s eyes shining, he kept observing the pavilions and Xuanxie buildings here, and looking at the buildings combining classic and modern, Xia Yu said with a light smile. "Chairman, the architecture here is very beautiful. I feel that the villas in Xiangjiang can''t be compared with here. If you can draw inspiration from it, and launch similar luxury garden villas or high-end commercial houses in Xiangjiang, I believe the sales will not be bad. " Liu Shihao nodded and said, his eyes were not willing to look away at all. Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction, and said encouragingly: "You can try it." "Yes!" Liu Shihao answered happily. Then Xia Yu looked at Huang Xizhao as he walked: "Xizhao, how does it feel?" Huang Xizhao was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "Chairman, just after looking at the buildings here for a while, I feel that the Chinese culture inherited by Xiangjiang is relatively one-sided. I have never seen such a beautiful ancient building in Xiangjiang. If you want to build In the ancient film and television city, it really needed to come to the mainland to draw materials to be able to highly restore the ancient scene." Xia Yu gave him an admiring look and said, "You are right. If you have the opportunity to go to the Forbidden City these days to see for yourself, there is the essence." "The movie and television city will be built later. I suggest that you hire masters who have studied ancient architecture of various dynasties from the mainland to guide you." "I watched two episodes of "Looking for the Qin" and I can feel that you tried your best, but in terms of architectural framing, it is still a bit rudimentary, but I can''t blame you. The previous film and television base was too rudimentary." Huang Xizhao was ashamed and nodded solemnly: "Chairman, I remember, I must learn my lesson." Xia Yu chuckled and waved his hand: "I''m not criticizing you, now the results are pretty good." In fact, when he was at home, his parents were watching Universal TV''s "Xun Qin Ji", Xia Yu also watched two episodes with him. Overall, the effect was good, and he was quite satisfiedXun Qin Ji TV station started from It took more than four months from the establishment of the project to the completion of the shooting, and the speed was amazing. But if you understand the speed at which Xiangjiang is shooting film and television series, you will know that more than four months is already slow. You must know that Xiangjiang is famous for making film and television dramas. If you don''t have a script, you dare to start shooting directly. A movie will come out in two weeks soon, and of course some of the quality is not bad. But "Looking for the Qin" is different. This is the work of Xia Yu, the owner of Universal Television. No one dared to be careless, so in terms of the script, he strives for perfection. The casting, shooting and editing have also done their best. The TV series produced in this way are naturally the best of the best. In addition to the well-shot "Central Change", the two TV dramas swept the entire Xiangjiang and Omen. The TV dramas created by TVB with great efforts were crushed into **** under the attack of the two boutique dramas. The two TV series opened up a visual feast for the citizens of Hong Kong. The two TV stations staggered the time to broadcast, and each one was only broadcast partly, but the average ratings were above 35%. When the ratings of "Xun Qin Ji" reached its highest ratings, it even reached 45% at one time, and its audience share reached 82%, completely dominating the field of TV dramas in the same period. Coupled with the popular variety show "Millionaire" on Universal TV, several major news programs linked by boutiques, boutique columns in finance and lifestyle, and anime with amazing influence among young people. In a few months, Universal TV has achieved a comprehensive surpassing of TVB, and Shao Yifu can''t breathe. In just a few months, the situation has undergone such a big change, and practitioners in related industries in Hong Kong can''t help but sigh. Fortunately, this time when he went north, Shao Yifu did not come because of political stance. Otherwise, facing Xia Yu and Huang Xizhao, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no embarrassment. ps: Seeking monthly ticket recommendation ticket v2 Chapter 561: Symposium and being left "Hi, Xia Sheng is a coincidence, you are also shopping!" While Xia Yu was strolling around, a few people suddenly walked out of a corner corridor. The head was surprisingly Wang Dehui from Chinachem Properties. After seeing Xia Yu, he said enthusiastically. "Yes, Wang Sheng does not rest?" Xia Yu shook hands with him and smiled, then nodded to several of his subordinates. Wang Dehui sighed: "After a few decades, I came to the mainland again, and I still went directly to the capital. Upright is an important point. Where can I sleep? Tonight and tomorrow will bottom out. It''s about me and Xiangjiang. In the future, I have to worry about it." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Wang Sheng, relax your mind, it''s all time. Faced with all of us in the business community, I don''t think the result will be bad." "Hey, Xia Sheng, I''ve lost decades of life than you, making you laugh!" Seeing Xia Yu''s indifferent appearance, Wang Dehui couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Xia Yu also knew what Wang Dehui was worried about. Wang Dehui is an entrepreneur from the magic capital. On the eve of the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, in 1948, before the liberation of the magic capital, he was taken by his father to settle in Xiangjiang, and his father always discredited the mainland in front of him, so the mainland he had been against when he was a child had a shadow. Although he was not pro-British in the past, he did not have a good impression of the mainland, and even had a slight prejudice. Therefore, Huo Yingdong and others have organized groups to go north for many times, and he did not participate. But this time, he had to come. This time, the previous life did not exist, and the trip to the north that appeared under the influence of Xia Yu in this life was huge. Wang Dehui saw that so many big men would go north, and knew that it was the best opportunity, and he was more confident, so he agreed to come together. The news that the mainland wants to take back Xiangjiang has always existed, and the mood of Xiangjiang people is complicated, especially for the rich and powerful people like Wang Dehui in Xiangjiang, they are even more worried. Although Hong Kong continues to be governed by the United Kingdom, the Chinese are second-class citizens and they will be treated unfairly when doing business, but in any case, they do not have to worry about official threats to their wealth. But if Xiangjiang were to be taken over by the mainland again, and if it became the same as the mainland, all his family¡¯s efforts would be in vain. Before 1948, the Wang family had a good reputation in the magic city. The family ran bleaching and dyeing and the import of western medicine. Later, his family did it for Escape and move from the Devil Capital to Xiangjiang. If you retreat this time, you can only go to England, where you are unfamiliar. But this time, the old man came up, and the entire Xiangjiang saw a glimmer of light. Although the upper-level contest was still serious, this glimmer of light still attracted him. Of course, Wang Dehui must come in person and understand the situation clearly in order to make better judgments and choices, and seek a better way out for the family. Xia Yu knew that with so many people coming this time, most of them came with the same mentality as Wang Dehui, mainly to find out. Like him, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and others, the number of people who have already decided to invest is relatively small. Of course, if the mainland''s attitude makes everyone feel at ease, Huo Yingdong will make a splash, they will definitely have something to say. The result will be seen from tonight. ... After shopping for a long time, seeing that Li Qian and others were a little tired, Xia Yu asked everyone to go back and have a good rest. Soon it was five o''clock in the afternoon, and everyone came out of the room, got together in twos and threes, and boarded a car arranged by the mainland to the Great Hall of the People. Seventy or eighty cars formed a convoy, passing by Chang''an Avenue in a grand manner. Such a spectacular scene caused the citizens on both sides of the road to stop and discuss. Through the car window, Xia Yu saw the surprised expressions of the citizens and couldn¡¯t help feeling. After decades, the capital of the country was full of traffic. In severe cases, it could be blocked from the East Fifth Ring Road to the West Fourth Ring Road. It will only arouse disgust and complaints from the citizens, which is still surprising and enviable now. In this era of material scarcity and most goods need to be supplied on a ticket basis, cars are really a luxury among luxury goods, and bicycles are one of the three most common people''s products. What about cars? Driving a car without an identity will only cause trouble! However, the spring thunder has exploded, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up is about to blow in this long-silent ancient and new country. Everything will become different. In the next forty years, this country will create an unprecedented economic miracle in the world! And he will be fortunate to be a witness and participant of this great era! "As a member of the Chinese nation, we must always do our part, for ourselves, and for this nation and country..." Xia Yu stared out of the window with dazzling eyes, a wave of pride surged in his heart. The seats for the reception banquet were arranged. Although there were more than 200 people here this time, the number of top bosses was only a dozen, and the other levels were slightly worse, or simply like Ma Tengdong, Liu Shihao and others, belong to The capable subordinates Xia Yu brought over. With Xia Yu¡¯s level of strength, he was placed at the first table, which happened to be at the same table as the highest elder. There were five serving fathers of the same level, including Deputy Prime Minister Song, on the table. Xia Yu''s heart was unavoidably agitated for the founding fathers seen online, and there was a sense of unreality of overlapping time and space. In the beginning, the Supreme Elder first gave a toast to everyone and welcomed everyone. Xia Yu was fortunate enough to shake hands with the old man. Xia Yu clearly felt that the old man''s eyes were profound. After the toast, the dinner officially began. Xia Yu was a little excited at first, but immediately calmed down, relaxed and ate the exquisite and delicious dishes from time to time to listen to the chats of the people. Of course, sitting on his left is the second-in-chief of the propaganda department. He took the initiative to chat with Xia Yu about media topics. Xia Yu¡¯s answer contains a lot of dry stuff, telling the current status and development trend of the foreign media industry. The second-in-command also implicitly mentioned the issue of position. Xia Yu calmly pointed out that his descendants of Yan and Huang would not forget their roots, making the second-in-command of the propaganda very happy. Because after the dinner, there was a symposium to listen to the opinions of the Xiangjiang delegation. The highest elders and several elders present were present, and the entire Xiangjiang delegation sent sixteen representatives. Xia Yu served as the media and financial sector. The leader is naturally in it. However, during the entire forum, Xia Yu almost listened quietly with a smile, and did not comment. With memories of later generations, Xia Yu knew very well what the future continent would look like, so he didn''t have the worries they had. As for the detours the mainland will take in the future, although Xia Yu knows a lot and wants to help the mainland avoid these pits and accelerate the rise of the Chinese nation, after thinking about it, he still wisely remained silent for the time being. It doesn''t matter, he still understands the truth that more words must be lost, not to mention that it is too early to say those at this time, and it is not too late to mention them when his influence on the mainland becomes greater and deeper. During the symposium, many representatives asked the supreme elder and others their own and other people''s questions, questions that could be answered on the spot, or questions involving major issues, the supreme elder gave answers on the spot. As for questions that need to be discussed, they will be answered two days after tomorrow or when the Hong Kong delegation leaves. After the symposium was over, Xia Yu and everyone left together, but he was stopped by a staff member as soon as he left the house. It turned out that the Supreme Elder asked him to stay temporarily! v2 Chapter 562: Conversation and attitude Following the guidance of the staff, Xia Yu turned left and right, and came to a room. He happened to see the tired old man in the room. He was alone in the whole room. At this moment, seeing Xia Yu, the old man showed a kind smile, stood up and wanted to come over, Xia Yu hurried forward, and said: "Elder, I have kept you waiting!" The old man took the initiative to shook hands with Xia Yu, and spoke gently in Mandarin with a thick Sichuan dialect, giving Xia Yu a feeling of spring breeze. "Waiting for a peerless talent with a heart to the motherland, no matter how long I will be!" Such an evaluation tells from the old population that Xia Yudun felt flattered and quickly said modestly: "Thank you for always admiring me, and I am ashamed of it!" The old man laughed and said in admiration: "Hey, at a young age, he lays down a great foundation, but he has a false sense of hope. Xiaoyou Xia has an unlimited future!" "Please sit down!" "You always please!" After that, the old man and Xia Yu took their seats one after another, and the young man who led Xia Yu in poured tea for them, and then quietly stood behind the old man, observing Xia Yu quietly. The young man behind the old man, Xia Yu took it back with a glance, but he recognized that this man is also a top boss in later generations. Standing next to the old man, his ability and knowledge will never be bad. It is only natural to be in a high position. "Xia Xiaoyou, although we have met for the first time, I have heard about you many times before. I am not as well-known as meeting. If I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes, I would not believe that the "Xiangjiang Stock God" would greatly increase my Chinese personality. I''ve only seen this old man in my life, so young, okay!" The old man looked at Xia Yu with a smile, and said with emotion, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. The reunification of the motherland is the old man¡¯s wish, so the old people are concerned about the people of Xiangjiang who can play a major role, and Xia Yu is the key figure. Although Xia Yu is young and rises too fast, his influence is not inferior to other Xiangjiang bosses. Even because of Xia Yu¡¯s age and legendary deeds, as well as Xia Yu¡¯s position, the old man paid more attention to Xia Yu. He also specially asked people to collect Xia Yu¡¯s information in detail. It can be said that Xia Yu was completely linked to the old man. The number. In fact, it is normal to think about it. First of all, the most important issue is the question of position. Whether it is the news from the embassy in the UK, the news from the Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency, and the various performances of Xia Yu, they all show Xia Yu''s closeness to the mainland. Over the past two decades, the Hong Kong media have mostly slandered the mainland, and they wore colored glasses to slander the mainland. Some of them were controlled by the British and by the forces of Taiwan. The mainland is well aware of the importance of public opinion wars, so it has set up some newspapers in Xiangjiang to speak for itself, but the strength is not strong. However, after the rise of Xia Yu, the mainland¡¯s image in Xiangjiang has been greatly improved, because the media under Xia Yu¡¯s media never discredit the mainland, and their stand is very fair. They even did not touch some sensitive issues, which helped the mainland a lot. busy. From the wisdom of the old man, it can be completely seen that Xia Yu''s justice is actually partial to the mainland, but others can''t produce evidence at all. If a tycoon with such a big influence in the media field took the initiative to lean towards the mainland, the old man naturally had a good sense of Xia Yu. Another, Xia Yu''s identity is very special, which refers to Xia Yu''s background. Compared with Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and other rich men who rose up after moving from the mainland to Xiangjiang, Xia Yu is a rich man who rose locally in Xiangjiang. If there is a connection with the mainland, it is also a few generations ago. Xia Yu had never been to the mainland, and didn''t know much about the mainland, but with such a background, he was able to get close to the mainland on his own initiative. This is very commendable, and it is enough to show his nature. And Xia Yu can be said to be the idol of the young generation of Xiangjiang. If the local people in Xiangjiang can be like Xia Yu and the people want, the difficulty of Xiangjiang''s return will be greatly reduced, and the mainland can also receive a more complete Xiangjiang. In the eyes of the elderly, Xia Yu was young and had caught up with or even surpassed most of the top richest people in Xiangjiang after more than a year. With the passage of time, Xia Yu could definitely surpass them by far and become the uncrowned king of Xiangjiang. And according to intelligence, Xia Yu has a gully in his chest, and all aspects of the layout are exactly like a fox with old methods. As long as he can grow up smoothly, his future influence is by no means confined to Xiangjiang. As long as Xia Yu''s heart goes inland, Xia Yu will grow in the future. The higher the ground, the more you can help the mainland! Such a rare talent in a century has actually taken the initiative to lean towards the mainland. This is the great fortune of the country. How can the old man not be pleased? How can you ignore it? "Xia Xiaoyou, I don''t think you have spoken tonight. Now we are chatting in private, and you can say it boldly." The old man said kindly, at the forum tonight, the old man paid special attention to Xia Yu, a special person. He never thought that Xia Yu would not ask a question overnight, so he could not help but think about it, so he asked Xia Yu to stay and get to know him. At the same time, he also wanted to understand Xia Yu''s true thoughts. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "Elder, it''s not that there is nothing I can''t say, but I really don''t have much to ask. I just have confidence in your older generation of revolutionary fathers and in the motherland." "I have read the "Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan Province" published in January. Throughout the past few decades, the mainland has placed the most credibility on the mainland. It has always been said to do. The mainland''s attitude towards Taiwan is the same as that of Xiangjiang and Omen. Attitude, the "Book to Compatriots in Taiwan" has been written clearly and plainly, what else should I worry about?" "Some people worry that either they lose themselves under the influence of the media, or they have a guilty conscience. These people have limited influence on Xiangjiang. If they leave, they will leave more opportunities for others." The old man smiled happily and said cheerfully, "If only everyone could be as reasonable as you." "Xia Xiaoyou, you were born in Xiangjiang and you have been to the UK. What do you think the British government''s attitude towards Xiangjiang?" After being happy, the old man suddenly looked at Xia Yu and asked with scorching eyes. Although the number of analytical reports on British attitudes is no longer known, the elderly still want to learn some more objective opinions from Xia Yu. They may not necessarily adopt them, but they can be used as reference. Xia Yu showed a serious face and thought for a long time before saying: "Elder, then I will talk about my humble opinion. Please forgive me if I don''t say anything wrong." "It doesn''t matter, you just say it." "In my opinion, Britain''s attitude towards Xiangjiang is actually a bit hesitant. Over the years, the United Kingdom has lost too many overseas colonies. Xiangjiang is actually not particularly important to Britain." "But the British are always reluctant to admit that they have fallen, and want to restore their glory, so they definitely don''t want Xiangjiang to return to the mainland." "But the mainland is, after all, one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, and it is also one of the few major powers in the world with nuclear weapons. It has a sturdy record. The European and American powers have all been defeated by the mainland. The UK will absolutely not dare to conflict with the mainland because It will definitely be defeated." "But I can say with certainty that in this British election, Margaret of the Conservative Party must have come to power. Although this person is a woman, he is a typical hawk. Therefore, the negotiations between Britain and the mainland will definitely be upset. " "But the return of Xiangjiang involves the reunification of the motherland. Only the reunification of the motherland can truly realize national rejuvenation. The United Kingdom is a paper tiger at best. As long as the British government is made aware of the mainland''s determination, they will definitely give in." "In the future, the greater the influence of the mainland in the world and the more important it is to the world, the less Britain will dare to engage in moths. The return of Xiangjiang is inevitable. The key is to deter Britain and get back a complete and orderly Xiangjiang." The old man listened quietly, and fell into thinking. He thought of the information that Xia Yu had supported the Conservative Party sent back from the United Kingdom, which confirmed Xia Yu''s inference that the Conservative Party could come to power. Of course, regarding Xia Yu¡¯s support for the Conservative Party, when Xia Yu was at the Chinese Embassy in the UK, he took the initiative to spread his attitude to the mainland through Qian Wenchao¡¯s mouth. The old man understood this, but was happy to see Xia Yu infiltrate. In this way, Xia Yu can grow more smoothly. "You are right. Imperialism is a paper tiger. We have the confidence and need to be tough, just to break their illusions and get back a complete Xiangjiang." The old man said boldly, quite a majestic aura of instructing the country, swallowing thousands of miles of anger. "Thank you for your valuable advice!" The old man thanked sincerely. "No need, this is what I should do." Xia Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said. "By the way, Xiaoyou Xia, you also watched in Shekou yesterday. Do you have any intentions now? The mainland has a weak foundation and I hope you can contribute generously." "I do have an idea. The mainland has a great advantage in production costs. I plan to invest in a factory in Shekou to produce toys and open a five-star hotel. If conditions permit, I also plan to build a film and television base in Pengcheng." "For the time being, this is what I have decided. If there are other investment projects, I can invest as long as they are suitable, such as road facility construction, real estate development, wharf construction, etc., all of which are the counterpart projects of my subsidiaries." Hearing what Xia Yu said, the old man was very happy and replied: "The mainland welcomes your investment. I know your opinion. Then we will list it according to your opinions and actual situation A list for you to choose from." "Okay, then I''ll wait for good news!" Xia Yu said with a smile, he didn''t expect the old man to answer him directly, after all, his requirements were a bit high. For example, the construction and operation of the wharf, it is now clear that China Merchants Group is constructing it. Even in later generations, there will be one and only one private wharf. One can imagine the difficulty. If it can be opened up, Xia Yu will definitely rush to enter. This is a business that will not lose money, and it will have a huge bonus to influence. "By the way, elder, I don''t know whether to say something or not." "Please speak!" "You should know that my situation is quite special. In many cases, I must be scrupulous, otherwise it will usher in retaliation from the British government. In terms of investment, I will let some of my subsidiaries come forward, but there are some that I need to hide. Now it can''t withstand the British government''s suppression." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked straight at the old man. What he meant was obvious. Investing means investing, but he doesn''t want to be an early bird, so there is a suspicion of betting on both sides, but Xia Yu is clear at this time, but he appears to be open-minded. The old man looked at Xia Yu and nodded with a smile: "Of course it''s okay. Don''t embarrass you because you have helped us." With the words of the old man, Xia Yu was immediately relieved. Later, Xia Yu chatted with the old man for a while, and saw that the old man was obviously tired and there was nothing important, so he said goodbye. The old man did not hold back, but insisted on sending Xia Yu out. Seeing Xia Yu''s back, the old man smiled relievedly. PS: The three changes are completed. The three changes total more than 8,000 words. I have only finished writing it until now. This story is really not easy to write. It made everyone wait for a long time. For the sake of my hard work, I beg for subscription and Recommended monthly ticket! v2 Chapter 563: The terrible 9 tripod newspaper company Back that night, Xia Yu found that Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others were not asleep yet, obviously waiting for him to return. Sure enough, after he came back, he asked him what the highest elder left him to talk about. Xia Yu picked a part and said, as for whether they believe it or not, there is no way. In the next few days, although the high-level officials were busy with state affairs, they took the time to hold a more solemn and formal symposium. After the meeting, Liu Zhihe from the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office took the lead in connecting with the Hong Kong delegation. Others such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Propaganda Department, Related departments such as the Machinery Engineering Department have sent people who can call the shots. Of course, the second-in-command of Guangdong Province and the person in charge of Pengcheng are also here, striving for as many projects as possible. Xia Yu had informed the Supreme Elder because of his opinions, and placed Ma Tengdong, Liu Shihao and Huang Xizhao directly in charge, so he was very relaxed. He also proposed that he wanted to visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. The above directly approved, letting someone lead Xia Yu and others to play, Huang Xizhao and others had a good taste of the beauty of the motherland. Three days passed in a flash, and many people signed a preliminary investment agreement. When the investment will land, we have to discuss with Guangdong Province and Pengcheng. Xia Yu signed an agreement with an initial investment of 600 million Hong Kong dollars, namely, an initial investment of 8 million Hong Kong dollars to open a large toy factory, an initial investment of 20 million Hong Kong dollars to build a five-star Marco Polo Hotel, and an initial investment of 200 million Hong Kong dollars on the east side of Shekou. Nanshan is building a large-scale film and television base, and the rest is to build a high-speed toll road from Pengcheng to Yangcheng, which will have 50 years of property rights. And how much the real investment will be, this has to be calculated in detail based on the actual situation. As for Xia Yu''s expectation of investing in the construction of Shekou Port, he did not agree to it, which made him a little regretful. What a pity! For these investments, the toy factory construction will be brought forward by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the Marco Polo Hotel will be brought forward by Jiuding Real Estate Group, and the film and television base will be brought forward by Universal Television. For the final highway project, Xia Yu will establish a new Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd. , By its appearance. Many subsequent investments in the mainland will be under the banner of Kyushu Industries. These companies are all sole proprietorships. At the time of the negotiations, some senior executives in the mainland only allowed joint ventures to exist. However, the rich and powerful in Hong Kong had very strong opinions on this. The Supreme Elder directly decided on special affairs and stated that special treatment should be given to patriotic Hong Kong businessmen. Only then allows investment negotiations to proceed. When he finally left, the Supreme Elder also made a request to everyone, that is, Hong Kong companies in the mainland must operate legally and not evade taxes. This requires everyone to fully agree. It is worth mentioning that at this time the mainland has just decided to reform and open up, and the well-known preferential policies such as tax exemption for three years and five and a half years are completely non-existent. These policies only emerged in the 1990s. However, Xia Yu doesn''t care. If you pay taxes, you should pay them as a contribution to the mainland. Anyway, for enterprises, the mainland''s production cost is the biggest advantage. ... It can be said that this time the Xiangjiang delegation went north, and the results were gratifying. Many people were initially worried, but after the mainland gave a solemn reply, they temporarily let go of their worries. As for the mainland, after communicating with the large-scale Xiangjiang delegation, he was more confident and made appropriate adjustments to the strategy of responding to Hong Kong Governor MacLehose¡¯s northward journey in half a month. I believe MacLehose will definitely be disappointed! Of course these have nothing to do with Xia Yu, he has returned to Xiangjiang again. The first thing I came back was to convene board meetings of each group to understand the true status of my business. The first was the board meeting of Jiuding Culture Media Group. Yan Wenhan, Ma Tengdong, Gavin Peter, Zhang Lei, Huang Xizhao, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Wu Siyuan sat around the table in the meeting room on the top floor of Jiuding Building. Xia Yu was at the top, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone, revealing Satisfied smile. "I haven''t seen everyone for a few months. Now everyone seems to be very energetic, not bad!" "Wenhan, let''s start with you and make a detailed report on the company''s progress." After sighing, Xia Yu directly named Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan first nodded respectfully to Xia Yu, then sat upright, and calmly told everyone present about the company''s operations. "The Jiuding Newspaper Company has developed well in all aspects. It opened a new "Entertainment Daily", and the sales of existing newspapers have increased to a certain extent. The main reason for the increase in sales is the further expansion of distribution channels. It is no longer limited to one place, of course, it is also driven by word-of-mouth fermentation." "Currently, "Jiuding Daily" has a daily circulation of 1.62 million copies, "Fengyun Daily" has a daily circulation of 1.38 million copies, "Sing Tao Daily" has a daily circulation of 620,000 copies, and "South China Morning Post" has a daily circulation of 340,000 copies. Daily circulation of 310,000 copies, "Sin Chew Daily" daily circulation of 280,000 copies, "Tian Tian Daily" daily circulation of 250,000 copies, "English Standard" daily circulation of 140,000 copies, "Entertainment Daily" daily publication 120,000 copies" "All newspapers have a cumulative daily circulation of 5.07 million. Because there is no way to count the newspaper market data in Southeast Asia, I don¡¯t know how much they occupy. However, the daily circulation of newspapers in Hong Kong¡¯s local market is about 2.7 million. All of our newspapers are in Hong Kong. The total issuance of 1.54 million copies, the market share reached 57%." "The top five daily circulation newspapers in Hong Kong''s local market are "Jiuding Daily", "Fengyun Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Tiantian Daily" and "South China Morning Post". They are all our company''s newspapers~www. novelhall.com~ Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a satisfied smile. Judging from these data, he has realized the fact that he has a substantial monopoly in the Xiangjiang newspaper industry, and he is the leading newspaper tycoon. Thinking of the magazine field that Yan Wenhan has not mentioned, Xia Yu is even more looking forward to it, because compared to the newspaper field, the magazine field is definitely a monopoly in a monopoly. Sure enough, Yan Wenhan''s next report confirmed Xia Yu''s guess. "In the field of magazines, the influence and market of the existing Economic Weekly and Fengyun Weekly have been further enhanced, with weekly circulation of 1.37 million and 1.05 million, respectively." "Two new magazines were opened, namely "Fashion Yiren" and "Mr. Fashion". With the advantage of omni-channel, the growth rate is very fast. The current weekly circulation is 250,000 and 220,000 respectively." "Currently there are two magazines in production, namely "Harper''s Fashion" and "Men''s Wear". "According to survey statistics, the circulation of our four magazines in Hong Kong accounts for 90% of the Hong Kong magazine market!" "Since its establishment, Jiuding Newspaper has a total of one year and two months. The company has achieved total revenue of 765.42 million, of which advertising revenue has reached 342.15 million, and advertising revenue has accounted for 100 million in the past four months. 72.15 million; after deducting a series of costs such as raw materials, labor, and taxes, net profit after tax was 298.46 million." "At present, the company has zero debt, because since last year, it has allocated 80 million funds to Jiuding News Agency, and the company has remaining idle after-tax funds of 218.46 million." "Papa..." Xia Yu took the lead in applauding, and suddenly there was warm applause in the conference room, and Yan Wenhan who was reporting could not help but smile. While the others applauded, they were shocked. The brother company Jiuding News is terrible! v2 Chapter 564: Industry dominance In the warm applause, although Yan Wenhan was full of enthusiasm, he suppressed it and showed a humble smile. Seeing that the applause fell, Chairman Xia Yu motioned to him to continue reporting. He took a deep breath to calm his mood and report again. "Since its establishment, Jiuding News Agency has 1 news processing center, 121 offices around the world, and a total of 1,135 employees, including 535 front-line workers." "Today, the reputation of the news agency has gradually spread, the quality of its services has been widely recognized, and the number of cooperative media has reached 218." "Last month''s revenue was 13.25 million Hong Kong dollars. So far, the company''s total revenue is 75.85 million." "The news agency has been expanding since its establishment, and the investment is very large, with a cumulative investment of 134 million Hong Kong dollars." "Since the establishment of the news agency, the chairman of the board of directors has injected capital and successively injected funds from Jiuding Newspaper Company to a total of 111 million." "After deducting the cost of news agency staff''s salary and business tax, the news agency currently has 24.8 million Hong Kong dollars in cash." "According to the plan, the news agency will continue to expand in the future, and the current liquidity and monthly revenue are temporarily sufficient for expansion." "My report is complete! Thank you!" After speaking, Yan Wenhan calmly looked at the chairman Xia Yu, waiting for his comment. Xia Yu pondered for a moment and praised Yan Wenhan: "Wenhan, the two companies are well managed in your hands. Jiuding Newspaper Company follows your original thinking. The news agency is the booster of Jiuding Newspaper Company. Invest boldly. Without causing chaos to the company, you can increase the speed of expansion and transfer funds from newspaper companies." "Keep it up!" "Thank you for the compliment, Chairman, I will continue to work hard!" "Gavin, you go on." Xia Yu looked at Gavin Peter again and motioned for him to report. "Chairman, colleagues, I will now report to you the situation of Jiuding Book Publishing Company..." Gavin Peter said calmly. The situation of Jiuding Book Publishing Company is quite special. Gavin Peter did not idle his funds like Yan Wenhan, but made full use of capital to initiate mergers and acquisitions while operating. Originally, before Xia Yu left Xiangjiang, Jiuding Book Publishing Company owned a parent company of Xiangjiang, as well as a subsidiary, holding 87% of the shares of the island branch. The island country sub-group debt reached 480 million Hong Kong dollars, with a debt ratio of 69%. At the same time, Jiuding Book Publishing Company also holds a 10% stake in the island country Kinokuniya Bookstore and a 10% stake in the island country Junjiutang Bookstore. After Xia Yu left Xiangjiang, Gavin Peter continued his acquisition process, focusing on the local publishing company in Xiangjiang from the beginning. After the acquisition of five publishing companies, Jiuding Book Publishing Company''s publishing business in Xiangjiang has expanded from popular science books, literary books, children''s books, educational books and other fields after integration, achieving full coverage. Especially in the field, the original advantage in the martial arts field continued to expand, from 81% of the market share to 89%. The cumulative market share in other fields has expanded from 27% to 54%. In addition to acquiring companies locally in Hong Kong, Gavin Peter also established seven subsidiaries in Southeast Asia in one go. At the beginning, he followed the acquisition strategy and acquired a total of 12 companies. After some acquisitions, Gavin Peter invested 189 million Hong Kong dollars, all of which were to raise funds for the acquisition through bank loans. The results of the acquisition are also gratifying. The total number of employees in the company has been directly expanded to 758, monthly revenue has exceeded 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and monthly net profit has reached 12 million Hong Kong dollars. Although Jiuding Book Publishing Company was burdened with high debts, Xia Yu didn''t mind, just because Gavin Peter was able to expand the company''s revenue and profits after the acquisition, which shows that the acquisition was successful, and what is the debt? important! After Gavin Peter''s report, Xia Yu also encouraged him to continue to manage the company according to his ideas. The next report is Ma Tengdong. Although Ma Tengdong had already reported to Xia Yu when he went north to the mainland, but the others sitting there didn''t know, so he needed to report again. When Xia Yu went to the United Kingdom, the comic magazine "Milk Manke" had been successfully divided into four comic magazines: "Moe", "Fantasy", "Rui" and "Ran". These four comic magazines, each of the comics is a high-quality product, with the original popular comics guide, the quality of the new comics can also retain the readers, so the original one trump card directly becomes four. The original "Military Friend Manke" had a circulation of 2.55 million copies in the island country week, ranking second in the island country. With continuous efforts, it directly surpassed the "Weekly Youth SUNDAY" of the Xiaoxueguan. "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" due to negative factors and quality comparisons, the weekly circulation dropped from 2.82 million copies at its peak to 2.7 million copies. It was surpassed by "Zhiyin Manke", and the gap began to widen. Just when the "Military Manke" reached the top of the island country comic throne The shocking news came out, "Military Manke" was divided into four directly! Originally, Yiqiao Group and Yin Feather Group were very excited about this, because in their opinion, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. had a brainstorm and digging holes for themselves. Unexpectedly, after a point of four, although "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" once again boarded the throne, "Weekly Shonen JUMP" also returned to second, but the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place Comics of "Milky Way". Next, the nightmare of Hitotsubashi Group and Otowa Group came. With so many high-quality comics, word of mouth has directly exploded, and under the linkage effect, the impact on the island country¡¯s comics is unparalleled. There is no harm if there is no comparison. A comparison shows that the quality of "Weekly Shonen JUMP" and "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" are very poor. With limited pocket money in readers'' pockets, most readers choose to buy one of "Zhiyin Manke" This or a few. This has led to an avalanche in the sales of comic magazines such as "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" and "Weekly Shonen JUMP", as well as other comic magazines. The drop in sales has directly become the bread and butter of "Military Manke". Only six weeks have passed since the sub-issue, that is, the seventh issue after the sub-issue. The four comic magazines "Milk Manke" and "Meng Huan Rui Ran" directly ranked among the top four in island comic magazines. The circulation of the four manga weeks totaled 9.8 million copies, and then went up all the way. So far, the latest weekly circulation has reached 11.2 million copies, an average terrorist circulation of 2.75 million copies. It can be said that "Military Friend Manke" directly pushed the golden age of island comics into force! And the weekly circulation of 11.2 million this year is only the data of the island country¡¯s domestic market. You must know that "Military Manke" is distributed throughout Southeast Asia! v2 Chapter 565: Group advantage The four magazines of "Zhiyin Manke" have a weekly circulation of 11.2 million in the island country, and a cumulative weekly circulation of 5 million in markets outside the island country, which means that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. will issue more than 16.2 million copies per week. Comic magazine. Among them, magazines in island countries have the highest retail price, which is 4.5 Hong Kong dollars per copy after being converted into Hong Kong dollars. A comic magazine in Hong Kong has a retail price of 3 Hong Kong dollars, and the lowest in other countries is 2.5 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the retail price is not the same as the ex-factory price. The ex-factory price alone can generate 200 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue by selling magazines in one month, and the island country market contributes 150 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue! There are also commercial pamphlets that have been released. Although only four comics, "Dragon Ball", "Pokemon", "One Piece" and "Douro Continent", have been released, each comic has been released in eight volumes. Sales have exceeded two million copies. In terms of comic books, the four comic books have sold 69 million copies in total, generating 250 million in revenue and net profit of about 80 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, there are a lot of advertising spots on "Milk Manke", creating unbelievable revenue. So far, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.¡¯s magazine business has generated a total of 780 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue. "Zhiyin Manke" is popular in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other countries, making the four animations "Dragon Ball" and "Douro Continent" that have been produced have been sought after by television stations in various countries, and the exclusive and non-exclusive broadcasting rights of each country have been released for 20 years. Five times, the average price per episode is 60,000 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the higher the selling price in the more developed areas, for example, in island countries, an episode of animation sold for 120,000 Hong Kong dollars, and this alone created a revenue of 155 million Hong Kong dollars. And this broadcast right is not a one-time sale, it only sells the one-year broadcast right of the animation that has been produced. After the contract expires, the major TV stations must spend money to buy it again if they want to rebroadcast it. In addition to the two markets of manga and animation, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. has another pillar, which is the peripheral retail business-Manke''s Home Retail Store. Previously, Ma Tengdong deepened the market in the island country and expanded the number of flagship stores around Manke¡¯s Home to 50. Later, he opened another 20 new stores, making Manke¡¯s Home already have 70 stores in the island country. It used capital to build the number one retail brand in the comics peripheral field. Outside of the island market, Ma Tengdong did not underestimate him. In order to grasp the trend of animation and manga, he paid a lot of money to expand from the original 15 stores to 80 in one go, which is exactly the rhythm of opening 20 stores a month. So now, the number of flagship stores around Manke¡¯s Home has reached 150. The monthly sales officially exceeded the 80 million Hong Kong dollar mark last month. The net profit exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the peripheral retail profit margin exceeded That''s 60%! When Ma Tengdong reported that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. had achieved a revenue of 1.215 billion Hong Kong dollars and a net profit of 570 million since its establishment, the entire conference room was silent, and even Yan Wenhan, who was just proud of it, was poured cold water. The net profit of 570 million yuan is more than twice that of Jiuding Newspaper Company, but Jiuding Newspaper Company was established five months earlier than Jiuding Animation! Seeing everyone''s silence, Xia Yu''s mouth turned into a smile. It can only be said that they have all underestimated the animation and comics market. This data can''t be more normal, and even a bit low, which is not the true level of Jiuding Animation. The four comic magazines of "Milky Way" have occupied the top four positions in the island country''s comics field. What does this mean? Before it was put, it was Shueisha + Shogakukan + Kodansha + Baiquansha + Futabasha, the sum of the market in the comics field of the five major publishing houses, and even more! As the leading manga in the island country, Jiuding Animation is also the leading manga company in Southeast Asia and Asia. From tonight onwards, it will achieve more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue and at least more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in monthly profit! Now there is only a cumulative revenue of 1.215 billion and a cumulative net profit of 570 million Hong Kong dollars, just because the establishment time is too short! In Xia Yu''s view, in 1979, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. had annual revenue of more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, no problem! At least it can create a net profit of ten hundreds of millions of dollars for him! A big gold mine properly! "I thought that Jiuding Newspaper is the strongest. I didn''t expect that the inconspicuous animation and comics industry has such potential. The development of Jiuding Animation is like this. Similar thoughts reverberated in the minds of several people sitting there, and great pressure followed. First, Jiuding Newspaper jewels came in, and then Jiuding Animation came from behind. Even the worse Jiuding Book Company has achieved a monthly revenue of 60 million yuan and a net profit of more than 10 million yuan. When I look back and think about the company I manage, everyone feels afflicted, their faces become fierce, and they feel nervous when it''s their turn next. Of course, there is one exception to , that is Zhang Lei, the director of Jiuding Printing Factory, whose mentality is more calm. Because the printing business of Jiuding Newspaper, Jiuding Animation and Jiuding Books is handed over to Jiuding Printing Factory, the better the development of their three companies, the higher the business volume of Jiuding Printing Factory. I saw him calmly report: "Dear Chairman, Dear colleagues, Jiuding Printing Factory has undertaken all the printing business within the group. The monthly printing volume accounts for 97% of the printing volume of the printing factory, and the other 3% of the business volume comes from Outside the group." "The company has 18 printing plants throughout Asia. In order to cope with the rapid expansion of the business volume of the brother companies, in addition to the local headquarters in Hong Kong, the other 17 printing plants have been acquired and expanded." "The company''s revenue last month has grown to 150 million Hong Kong dollars, gross profit margin is 20.5%, net profit margin is 12.2%, and monthly net profit is 18.3 million Hong Kong dollars!" "Currently, the company has a total of 1,225 employees." From the data of Jiuding Printing Factory, it can be seen that the group advantage of the full coverage of the industry chain has eaten up the profitable printing business. Jiuding News and other three major printing companies have just fed a monthly revenue of 150 million. The printing industry giant with nearly 2 billion in revenue! Although the profit margin of the printing plant is not high, these profits are not outside the scope of the group because of their own reasons, and they are made if they are saved! This is equivalent to the three major companies losing 18.3 million Hong Kong dollars each month. And because of the business volume of the three companies including Jiuding Newspaper, Jiuding Printing Factory has become an industry predator, greatly enhancing the competitive advantage of Jiuding Printing Factory, grabbing cakes in the printing market, and occupying Jiuding Printing Factory from outside the group. With a ratio of 3%, it can be seen that the influence has been spreading. It is not bad to receive 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars in business orders every month! v2 Chapter 566: Expansion Ace There is no need to say more about Universal TV. A large number of classic programs pointed by Xia Yu have been produced, which has formed a full-scale suppression of TVB. The only thing TVB can struggle with is the trump card show "Happy Tonight" every Friday, but it also lost a lot of viewership shares under the collective offensive of Universal Television. For Universal Television, Xia Yu has a requirement for the time being, that is, to continue to tap the potential of each program, expand and settle its influence, strive to improve the quality of the program, improve the reputation and threshold, so that the plagiarism of the TVB will not be effective. And there is also a subsidiary of Universal Television, that is, Universal Brokerage, which has a good momentum of development, of course, thanks to the advantages of the group. Chen Shufen has trained a group of qualified brokers, and has configured a brokerage team for potential or popular celebrities in the brokerage company. The bodyguards come from Xia Yu''s Aegis security. Jiuding Newspaper Company is a monopoly giant in the media field, especially it also owns an entertainment newspaper "Entertainment Daily", so the promotion resources of the global agency company are not lacking, and its celebrity artists can often appear on TV and newspapers. In magazines, such as "Fashion Yiren" and "Mr. Fashion", Zhang Weirong, Zhou Runfa, Mi Yue, Yang Panpan and other handsome men and women always appear on them, and they wear fashion every time, which is very popular. Promote. Therefore, these celebrities are soft in accepting commercial advertisements. Of course, many advertisers give Jiuding Newspaper''s face. After all, it is better to choose artists from Jiuding Newspaper''s brother companies. In general, the standardized operation of the global brokerage company, with the help of the group''s resources, quickly incubated into the No. 1 brokerage company in HeungKong, and was far ahead of the Shaw Brokerage Company and Jiahe Economic Company established by following the trend. After the commercial income of the artists of the Universal Brokerage Company spread out, I don''t know how many artists are jealous, and many people want to go in. For this reason, Chen Shufen''s digging and signing newcomers is not too easy. After Huang Xizhao is Jiang Zhiqiang, this is the first time he has formally reported on the work of a theater company on the board of directors of the group. "Universal Cinemas has not yet officially announced its establishment, but 19 of the 20 theaters have been rebuilt and put into use. Only the largest Taiping theater will take about ten days to complete." "After the renovation, the 20 theaters have 16,850 seats, and the hall, center, and small halls add up to a total of 189 screens." "At present, it has realized revenue of 9.65 million Hong Kong dollars for theaters, 740,000 Hong Kong dollars in film peripheral revenue, net profit of 6.56 million Hong Kong dollars after deducting copy costs and manual capital." "The main reason for the low income is that the theaters are still in trial operation, and Jiahe Films and Shaw Films are suppressing us. The films of these two film companies are not screened by our company, and they secretly threaten to block other film companies. cooperate with us." "Although there are film sources from Galaxy Films, it is still insufficient, and there are many screens that are idle irregularly." Finally, Jiang Xieqiang felt embarrassed by such a low revenue, so he explained the reason. Everyone sitting here expressed their understanding, and was even surprised at the global cinema company''s net profit margin of over 60%. Xia Yu also kept smiling and did not show any dissatisfaction, which made Jiang Zhiqiang feel at ease. Finally, it was Wu Siyuan, who had the smallest qualifications and strength in managing the company. "Dear Chairman and colleagues, since the establishment of Galaxy Film Company, it has invested in a total of eight films. The company has invested in three films and released eleven films. Thanks to the support of the Global Cinemas, none of them have appeared. The loss, plus Waifu¡¯s income, resulted in the company¡¯s revenue of 18.68 million Hong Kong dollars and net profit of 10.25 million Hong Kong dollars." "...My report is over!" After Wu Siyuan briefly talked about the key data and company situation, it was over. Xia Yu smiled, swept across everyone''s faces, then nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Just now everyone has introduced the situation of their respective companies. It can be seen that they all have a clear understanding of the company''s advantages and disadvantages. This is good!" "I''ll talk about my views on the situation of each company first, and remember those that involve my own business, and then go back and implement it." "It started with Wenhan just now, so let''s reverse it this time." "Siyuan, the development of Galaxy Film Company is considered to be good, with the support of the global cinema chain, it can also achieve better results." "Continue to cooperate with the global brokerage company and make the most of the role of the brokerage company. As long as the script is refined and the production is excellent, with the global theater line and the entire group as the support, it should be impossible to lose money." "In addition, if you have to dig deeper into the film distribution field, the overseas market may be more troublesome. However, in Hong Kong, Galaxy Film Company occupies a huge advantage. The global theaters do not operate in the distribution field, and Galaxy Company is responsible for such a big advantage. grasp." "Yes!" Wu Siyuan beamed with joy and responded loudly, while looking at Jiang Xieqiang who was sitting next to him. Jiang Zhiqiang smiled friendly at Wu Siyuan, and didn''t mind the distribution area being taken away by Galaxy Film Company. In fact, the distribution of movies is either in the charge of a special distribution company, or it is opened and operated by a film company, and the theaters generally do not participate. Cinemas can generally eat up more than half of the box office share of a movie, and distributors are generally between 5% and 10%. Although the small mosquito is meat, Global Cinemas can set up a special distribution subsidiary by itself, but since the chairman has said so, he will follow suit. Then, Xia Yu looked at Jiang Xieqiang and ordered Xeon, that the global theater line can be officially announced to the outside world. When the Taiping Theater is completed, you will hold a press conference. " "Shaw Brothers and Jiahe will block us, then use the box office split mode to break their block. You can find Wenhan and Xizhao for the promotion. In short, the bigger the momentum, the better! No need to hide it!" "understand!" Jiang Zhiqiang replied with a big smile, already expecting Shao and Jiahe to look dumbfounded. Don¡¯t they use influence and strength to contain it? Then just smash the plate and win over all film parties except Jiahe and Shaw. He doesn''t believe that Jiahe and Shaw can carry the entire industry! Xia Yu thought for a while, and then told Jiang Zhiqiang: "Xeon, the four theaters of the Lei family, you find a way to acquire them, which can strengthen your own strength and weaken the strength of Jiahe Cinemas. I allow you to pay a premium. Within 50%." "Also, after the opening of the Global Cinemas, you secretly acquired cinemas in Southeast Asia, with only one goal, to use your money to create a cinema that is comparable to the Shaw Cinemas!" Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang was completely excited, his face turned flush, and he responded loudly, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" And Wu Siyuan also followed, because the stronger the global cinema chain, the greater the benefits to him and Galaxy Film Company. The roots of the Shaw Cinemas are in Southeast Asia. The Shao family operates more than 100 theaters in Southeast Asia, and the total number of them is more than two hundred. If implemented in accordance with Chairman Xia Yu¡¯s instructions, the Global Cinemas will also become a cinema chain with more than 100 cinemas. With such a cinema as its backing, if the film produced by Galaxy Film Company can still lose money, his name will be lost. Come and write. And backed by such a theater chain, the film agency distribution business of Galaxy Films will quickly become a trump card! v2 Chapter 567: A giant with 0 billion assets Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 567 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2364 words Next, Xia Yu successively put forward opinions to several other people, and then entered the collective negotiation process. After the entire meeting, the various subsidiaries of Jiuding Culture Media Group were more closely connected, and the utilization rate of resources increased to a higher level. Competitiveness has a very good bonus. After the meeting of Jiuding Culture Media Group was completed, Xia Yu held a meeting of Jiuding Financial Group the next day. Compared with the previous day, the number of people in the meeting was very small, only Xia Yu, Wang Qi, Liu Tianci and Jason Gregg were four. Each of Wang Qi and the others is a big figure in Xiangjiang''s financial industry. At this time, they looked very ordinary in front of Xia Yu. Following the same process as before, Xia Yu asked them to report to him one by one on the operating conditions of the companies they manage. The first is Jiuding Securities, the oldest company, which is well managed by Wang Qi. After Xia Yu went to the UK, Wang Qi continued to attract elite talents and set up new funds to raise funds. Following the original Huizhong No. 1, Huizhong No. 2, Huijin No. 1, Huijin No. 2, Changqing No. 1, Jiuding Bank No. 1 and Jiuding Bank No. 2, Jiuding Securities has once again launched Huizhong No. 3 and Huizhong Funds No. 4, Huijin No. 3 and Huijin No. 4 each raised 300 million Hong Kong dollars for a total of 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. At this time, the original raised capital managed by Jiuding Securities has reached 3 billion Hong Kong dollars! But the outside world has always urged Jiuding Securities to open a new fund. I don''t know how many people are staring at Jiuding Securities, so Wang Qi has been recruiting elites and intends to open a new fund as soon as possible. Jiuding Securities is highly sought after in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia because the return on investment of its managed funds is too high. Years ago, Jiuding Securities held the first dividend meeting for fund shareholders to introduce the operation of the fund to investors and pay dividends on the spot. The atmosphere at that time was very enthusiastic and there was a tendency to overturn the roof. No one, just because Jiuding Securities'' fund returns are too high! The earliest Huijin No. 1 and Huizhong No. 1 funds have investment yields of 146% and 144% respectively, and this is not a one-year return. The majority of Xiangjiang''s funds have already been suspended. Properly star funds . Then because of the special stepped income share set by Jiuding Securities at that time, when the investment rate of return is higher than 70%, Jiuding Securities will receive 50% of the income and investors will receive 50%. As a result, Huizhong No. 1 and Huizhong No. 2 funds belong to investors'' returns of 73% and 72%, respectively. In less than a year, assets have appreciated by 73% and 72%, which is definitely a bumper harvest for investors. When Wang Qi announced at the conference that investors had gained the benefits, the audience was boiling. As for the Huizhong No. 2 and Huijin No. 2 funds, and Evergreen No. 1 funds set up later, although their operating hours are shorter, their investment returns have exceeded 50%, which surprised many investors. After the conference, most investors shared their wise decisions and high profits with family and friends, which made them enthusiastic. Obtaining such a high return and such a good publicity opportunity, Wang Qi of course grasped it and informed Yan Wenhan, and then Jiuding newspapers hyped up, driving the entire Xiangjiang stockholders crazy. Well-invested funds have such high yields, so what stocks are they going to buy? With this Dongfeng, Wang Qi opened four funds in a row and raised 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. The fundraising was completed in less than three days. Many investors waved their checks but were rejected by Jiuding Securities. The more they refused, the investors would The more confident you are in Jiuding Securities, the more you want to invest. This grand scene makes many of Xiangjiang''s colleagues jealous, but they can only lament. There is no way, the financial market is like this, real benefits are the root of everything! At the end of the year, all fund incomes were divided into dividends, excluding the income from its own funds, and the investment management income alone, Jiuding Securities received 380 million Hong Kong dollars, deducting a series of expenses such as operating costs, bonuses, and net profit of 340 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, Wang Qi has not announced this profit. Jiuding Securities has not been listed. There is no need to expose it. Anyway, investors and capital markets already know the power of Jiuding Securities. If it is too late, they have to hide it for themselves. After Jiuding Securities Co., it was Jiuding Bank. In view of the strategic cooperative relationship between Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities, when Jiuding Securities was gaining momentum, the bonus effect for Jiuding Bank soared, and many people opened accounts in Jiuding Bank. Especially many investors who received dividends, after Wang Qiyu advertised Jiuding Bank at the cocktail party, almost all deposited their money in Jiuding Bank. So far, Jiuding Bank¡¯s non-consortium deposits have reached 2.76 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the number of accounts opened has reached 487,000. Thanks to Liu Tianci¡¯s efforts and the advantage of the consortium, many brother companies in the industry chain have opened accounts in Jiuding Bank, allowing the companies to go to Jiuding Bank. This makes the total monthly turnover of Jiuding Bank¡¯s non-consortium Soaring every month has now reached 570 million Hong Kong dollars. If you add the deposits and liquidity of all companies of the Jiuding Consortium in Jiuding Bank, the total assets of Jiuding Bank have reached 6.8 billion Hong Kong dollars! A large bank properly! The last is Jiuding Insurance Company, Jason Gregg is a good player in business and capital. After Jardine Insurance was acquired and renamed Jiuding Insurance, its monthly premium income has been growing rapidly. In the month of taking over, its monthly premium income increased by 32% year-on-year, and the year-on-year growth rates in the following months were 34%, 36%, and 39. %. Calculated last year, Jiuding Insurance Company''s life insurance, property and casualty insurance and other insurance types for the whole year (including Jardine Insurance period) collected 35.74 million Hong Kong dollars in premiums, and the total compensation was 14.12 million Hong Kong dollars. The gross profit of premiums exceeded 20 million. Then there are the assets investment of the original insurance company. Jason Gregg also followed up with stocks and gold, which allowed the company''s assets to grow rapidly, especially the gold futures, directly using high leverage. With sufficient capital, the company''s capital investment income reached 470 million Hong Kong dollars, making Jiuding Insurance Company''s total assets officially exceed the one billion mark and become a veritable Xiangjiang Insurance Company. The operating conditions of the three companies are all very good. After Xia Yu added up the data of each company, he found that the total assets of Jiuding Financial Group had exceeded the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the total assets are not net assets. After all, although Jiuding Bank''s total assets have reached 6.8 billion, the net assets are at most about 800 million. This depends on the increase in income and return on investment. But in any case, if the money is in the hands of Jiuding Bank, it has the right to use it, and the influence of the money also belongs to Jiuding Bank. With tens of billions of assets in hand, Jiuding Financial Group, Xia Yu can confidently say that he is definitely Xiangjiang''s leading financial magnate. v2 Chapter 568: Picture poor see Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 568 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2286 words Both Jiuding Insurance Company and Jiuding Securities Company are operating on a normal track. Wang Qi and Jason Gregg are able to operate well, and there is nothing for Xia Yu to intervene. Instead, Liu Tianci asked Xia Yu for advice at the meeting. "Chairman, the time to acquire Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank is ripe, I think we can do it!" Hearing this, Xia Yu lifted his spirits, looked at him with scorching eyes, and asked: "Tell me about the specific situation. "Even Wang Qi and Jason Gregg looked at Liu Tianci curiously. They didn''t know that Liu Tianci was still thinking about Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank''s idea, and it was the ripe time to end. Liu Tianci smiled and reported: "Chairman, I secretly bought 300 million Hong Kong dollars in gold futures from Hang Lung Bank and 200 million Hong Kong dollars in gold futures from Ka Wah Bank, because Jiuding Property Group borrowed from Hang Lung Bank. I paid 500 million Hong Kong dollars and borrowed 500 million Hong Kong dollars from Ka Wah Bank, which made the capital chains of the two major banks tense." "I have been sending people to stare at Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and found that I was receiving our gold futures contract. After that, the two major banks used the money to buy gold futures for turnover in other places, and did not buy gold futures the first time to make up the order." "When the international gold price rose higher and higher, the two major banks regretted it, but The funds have filled the hole, so I can only find a way to hide the news, and then slowly buy yellow and futures contracts from London." "They thought they were doing it very secretly, but we were staring at them. At present, the two major banks do not know it The gold futures bought by Jiuding Bank." "According to my estimate, Hang Lung Bank now spends up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars to buy gold futures, but because of the soaring gold price, the amount of gold futures contracts purchased is only 130 million Hong Kong dollars at the beginning." "At the beginning, the 170 million Hong Kong dollar gold futures did not make up. According to the current doubled international gold price, Hang Lung Bank has lost at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars." "Now the value of the gold futures bought by Hang Lung Bank has reached 650 million Hong Kong dollars, if it is delivered now, Hang Lung Bank must provide 650 million in cash. With its current situation, it can use up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash within one week. If the news is revealed, no bank dares to borrow bridge funds to Hang Lung. Bank." "Unless Hang Lung Bank takes back the loan from Jiuding Real Estate Group, but the contract has been signed and the loan has not depreciated, Hang Lung Bank has no right to force the loan back." "As for Ka Wah Bank, the situation is even more serious, as long as we deliver gold futures now K. Wah Bank must provide 430 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. Because of our business, K. Wah Bank will lose at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Jiuding Real Estate Group can also refuse its unreasonable loan repayment requirements." "Just put the two banks at a loss. The exposure of the news of the rupture of the capital chain can definitely trigger a run, and the two banks will never escape!" At the end, Liu Tianci''s tone was very solemn, and he obviously had great confidence in seizing the two major banks. Wang Qi and Jason Gregg glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other''s eyes. They did not expect Liu Tianci to use such insidious tricks to calculate Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. But Jiuding Bank is their own people, they bully outsiders, they are happy for it. "Good job!" Xia Yu exclaimed, feeling satisfied with Liu Tianci''s ability to implement the plan. He proposed the plan at the beginning, but Liu Tianci really made the plan execute perfectly. This is a manifestation of his ability. "Don''t wait, just do it, let Yan Wenhan assist you and get the two banks in your pocket as soon as possible!" Xia Yu directly decided to do it, and ordered Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci was invigorated and nodded heavily: "Understood!"... After the meeting, Liu Tianci came downstairs and found Yan Wenhan for the first time. After discussing with him, he left Jiuding Mansion excitedly. In the next few days, Xia Yu successively held board meetings of Jiuding Real Estate Group, Jiuding Industrial Group and Jiuding Retail Group to understand the situation of the major groups and arrange deployment. At the same time, Liu Tianci finally got his hands started, and each ordered his men to hold a ten thousand ounce gold futures contract, which is the existing contract worth 23.55 million Hong Kong dollars, to Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank for delivery. No. 104, Hong Kong Central, Hang Lung Bank Headquarters, VIP reception room. I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sitting generously on the sofa. Zhao Quanhao, the business manager in charge of futures investment at Hang Lung Bank, was smiling aside, except for the panic flashing on his face from time to time and the dense forehead. Sweat shows its inner pressure. The man in suit and leather shoes was the one sent by Liu Tianci, named Lu Yuesong, one of his dark hands. "Mr. Lu, congratulations, the value of the gold futures you bought has doubled ~ www.novelhall.com~ Your vision is really good, you are the reincarnation of God of Wealth." "Mr. Lu, the international gold price continues to rise, and the increase is very high. Gao, if you continue to hold futures contracts, you will make more money. Would you like to think about it again?" Zhao Quanhao, the business manager, urged on the side, trying to dispel Lu Yuesong''s idea of ??delivering gold futures contracts. The ten thousand ounce gold futures contract is now worth 23.55 million Hong Kong dollars. Zhao Quanhao knows that the current cash flow of Hang Lung Bank can be taken out at once, but the pressure is too great and will disrupt the deployment of the entire bank. To accept such a large amount of gold futures at one time, Zhao Quanhao, as the business manager, must be under a lot of pressure and even responsibility. The best way is to dispel Lu Yuesong''s idea and let him go back with the contract. Although the international gold price may continue to rise in the future, isn''t it just possible? Zhao Quanhao doesn''t have a bottom line on the international gold price. He is looking forward to a sharp drop at that time, so that the floating losses of Hang Lung Bank''s gold futures business will be wiped out. It¡¯s just that Zhao Quanhao said it in vain. Lu Yuesong is not a real buyer. Where does he have the right to make a decision? His task is to complete the settlement today and get 23.35 million Hong Kong dollars in cash into a special account! So Lu Yuesong was expressionless and resolutely said: "Manager Zhao, I''m sorry, I have to raise 30 million Hong Kong dollars in cash today. I really can''t help it. Please consider my difficulties." Zhao Quanhao looked distressed and continued to persuade: "Mr. Lu, there is actually no need to deliver gold futures..." Zhao Quanhao was interrupted by Lu Yuesong as soon as he persuaded him. I saw Lu Yuesong''s face showing suspicion, looking straight at Zhao Quanhao, and questioning: "Manager Zhao, your expert is a big business, and you are not asking you to give money. Now you are pushing three and four, it will not be Hang Lung Bank¡¯s capital chain. If you have a problem, can''t you get the money?" PS: I ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! v2 Chapter 569: Threat Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 569 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2607 words Zhao Quanhao''s expression changed, his attitude immediately became tough, and he retorted loudly: "How is it possible! Our bank is a well-known big bank in Hong Kong, let alone 20 million, even a few hundred million loans will be released!" Zhao Quan Well, I can¡¯t agree with what Lu Yuesong said. Otherwise, if it spreads out and causes bad effects such as a run, which puts Hang Lung Bank into trouble or crisis, he will definitely not be able to bear this responsibility, and expulsion is the lightest punishment. Lu Yuesong withdrew his suspicion, nodded and said to himself: "I''ll just say, I just believe you Hang Lung Bank, I bought gold from you, how can I not even get more than 20 million cash!" I either took a loan from you, or took back my own money, and your bank also earned me a fee for purchasing." Zhao Quanhao could only listen to Lu Yuesong¡¯s self-talk in embarrassment, and bit his head. He echoed: "Yes, our bank is a veteran bank for more than 40 years, and there is no doubt about its strength and reputation." "Then Manager Zhao, please help me settle the gold futures. I am anxious to spend money now, no I dare not leave when I get the money." Lu Yuesong continued. He bought a gold futures contract sold by Hang Lung Bank. The contract price was adjusted by Hang Lung Bank according to the actual gold price, and then Hang Lung Bank earned another commission. After earning money from customers, Hang Lung Bank is naturally obliged to pay the money first. As for whether the gold futures contracts held by Hang Lung Bank can be sold, it is their own business. Therefore, it is understandable that Lu Yuesong now requires direct delivery to take money! It couldn''t be more reasonable! Seeing Lu Yuesong''s resolute attitude, Zhao Quanhao had nothing to do. He sighed, but his face was full of smiles, and said enthusiastically: "Then Mr. Lu, it is beyond my authority to involve such a large sum of money. The president needs to sign and approve, you wait a moment, I will report now.¡± Lu Yuesong looked anxious, looked at his watch, and urged Zhao Quanhao: ¡°Manager Zhao, I¡¯m in a hurry, as soon as possible. The president of your bank." "Okay, I''ll go, please wait!" After Zhao Quanhao finished speaking, he filled Lu Yuesong with a cup of tea, and then quickly left the VIP reception room. Zhuang Rongkun is dealing with documents in the office of the president of Hang Lung Bank. Two brothers, Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan, acquired 80% of Hang Lung Bank''s equity three years ago, but Zhuang Rongkun is the owner, and Zhuang Qingquan runs the most powerful Apollo Steel Company in the Philippines. "Hum!" "Come in!" "President, I have something urgent to report to you!" As soon as Zhao Quanhao entered, he went straight to the subject and reported. He knows the temper of the president, Zhuang Rongkun, and he doesn''t like to be circumspect. "Let''s talk!" Zhuang Rongkun continued to process the documents without looking up. Zhao Quanhao took a deep breath and solemnly reported: "President, a customer who bought gold futures just now requested delivery of futures, but the amount is huge, and I can''t be the master." When he arrived at Zhuang Qingquan''s office, Zhao Quan was kind and worried. Qi, I wanted to say the amount directly, but swallowed it back. It''s just that the word huge amount also touched Zhuang Qingquan''s nerves. He paused with his pen hand, slowly raised his head, and looked at Zhao Quanhao, who had a wrong face. He frowned and asked, "What is the huge amount?" Zhao Quan He hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to say: "It''s 10,000 ounces. It is now worth 23.35 million Hong Kong dollars. He spent 11.25 million Hong Kong dollars when he bought it." "How much? Ten thousand ounces? 23.35 million?!" Zhuang Qingquan Finally paid attention, looked straight at Zhao Quanhao, and said with a deep eyebrow. "You didn''t persuade him to go back? Or for a few days?" Zhuang Qingquan said dissatisfiedly. Although the Hang Lung bankers have a big business, in order to pursue high returns, bank funds are used efficiently and large amounts of funds will not be left idle. Therefore, Hang Lung Bank does not have too much liquidity. In many cases, large sums of money are used and short-term borrowing from other banks is also required. Now if 23.35 million Hong Kong dollars is taken away at one time, it will definitely have a certain impact on the bank''s operations. This is not what he wants to see. Besides, although the money belongs to the customer, since it is put in their pockets, and they want to take it out, they must be reluctant in their hearts. Zhao Quanhao hurriedly explained his own relationship: "President, I have persuaded him many times, but he said that he was eager to spend money, and his attitude was very firm. Today, he will not leave without the money." Zhuang Qingquan frowned. Wrinkled, feeling a headache. After he stood up and thought for a while, he ordered Zhao Quanhao: "When I go there!" Seeing the president go out, Zhao Quan was very relieved and immediately led the way. Soon, Zhuang Qingquan and Zhao Quanhao came to the VIP reception room and met Lu Yuesong who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Seeing the two coming, Lu Yuesong also stood up, his eyes fixed on Zhuang Qingquan. "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Zhuang Qingquan, President of Hang Lung Bank." Zhuang Qingquan shook hands with Lu Yuesong and greeted him warmly. Lu Yuesong smiled: "President Zhuang, long admiring the name!" "Mr. Lu, please sit down!" "Xiao Zhao, the tea is cold, make another pot." Zhuang Qingquan enthusiastically let Lu Yuesong sit down, and then ordered Zhao Quanhao to make tea. , As much as possible to win the favor of Lu Yuesong. It''s just that these are destined to be useless. "Mr. Lu, Xiao Zhao just told me briefly. Now the international gold price is still soaring. If you hold it for one more day, you can earn an extra 50,000 or 60,000. It would be a shame to deliver now." Zhuang Qingquan expressed regret. He said, it seemed that Lu Yuesong''s decision was not worth it Lu Yuesong looked at his watch and found that the schedule was tight. His action made Zhuang Qingquan feel nervous. I heard Lu Yuesong resolutely say: "President Zhuang, I know what you said, but I am eager to spend money today, otherwise I will not give up such a high income, you don¡¯t need to say more, I am very short of time and I am eager to ask for it. For the money, you can arrange for someone to do it for me." Zhuang Qingquan frowned and loosened it again, tentatively said: "Mr. Lu, can you ask what you need the money for? Maybe we can help you." Qingquan wanted to try his best to dispel Lu Yuesong''s thoughts, but Lu Yuesong didn''t want to drag him anymore. Anyway, he was just a business man, a fake boss, and he was not afraid of offending Zhuang Qingquan. Besides, after this time, it is hard to say whether Zhuang Qingquan is the president of Hang Lung Bank. If it were not for the general manager Liu Tianci to get back as much money as possible in order to be stable, and to drain the liquidity of Hang Lung Bank a little bit, so as not to scare Zhuang Qingquan away after taking out all the gold futures orders at once, causing unnecessary For the losses and troubles, this time he is not alone in leading the battle. "President Zhuang, it is inconvenient to say that the Hang Lung Banker has a big business, or he should quickly complete the settlement for me. If you are so procrastinating, should I do business with you in the future?" Lu Yuesong said dissatisfied. Zhuang Qingquan was at heart, and when he saw that something could not be done, he secretly sighed and gave up his intention to stay, nodded and said: "Mr. Lu, you have misunderstood. Since you are in urgent need of money, I will arrange for someone to pay you now." Um, let¡¯s go to this HSBC account.¡± After that, under Lu Yuesong''s constant urging, soon 23.35 million Hong Kong dollars in cash was credited to the designated HSBC bank account, and Lu Yuesong finally smiled with satisfaction. "President Zhuang, I have something to do, so I''ll leave first!" "Mr. Lu walks slowly, looking forward to the next cooperation!" "Okay!" PS: Please recommend a monthly pass! There is also full order, thank you! v2 Chapter 570: Huge deficit Rebirth of the Most Powerful Henry 570 Author Huang Lao wet Full text number 2573 words (For a while, the name of the last chapter was wrong. The president of Hang Lung Bank is Zhuang Rongkun. It has been revised. Please forgive me.) After Lu Yuesong left, Zhuang Rongkun, who was in a bad mood, always felt that something was wrong. He backed his hands to think for a moment and suddenly asked "How many holes are there in gold futures now?" Zhao Quanhao looked at him, and the figure that kept him awake all night for months appeared in his mind. He truthfully replied: "There are still 178,000 ounces of holes that have not been filled. Qi." "Our bank sold a total of 354,000 ounces of gold futures contracts, and now it has purchased 176,000 ounces. If Lu Yuesong''s 10,000 ounces contract is delivered, only 166,000 ounces are left in hand. The contract is signed." "A hole of 178,000 ounces?" This number makes Zhuang Rongkun look very ugly. He also knows what caused it in the past two months, that is, he previously misappropriated the money from the customer to purchase the gold futures contract and did not make it in time. Buy the same amount of London gold contracts. Originally, the money is in the hands of their banks, and how it works is their business. Generally, there is no problem. Similar things have not been done before. Many banks have this situation, as long as they go back later. What''s more, Hang Lung Bank, their market maker holds 80% of the equity, and other shareholders cannot interfere with them. It¡¯s just who knows that the sudden change in the international situation caused the international gold price to soar. Because the loan of 500 million yuan was previously granted to Jiuding Real Estate Group, the bank¡¯s funds were tight, so there was no time to make up the London gold contract in time. After that, the international gold price soared. He once again squeezed out 190 million Hong Kong dollars to make up the London gold contract, but only bought 115,000 ounces. If the 190 million Hong Kong dollars were purchased from the London gold contract at the beginning, it would be enough for 169,000 ounces. However, after the international gold price rose higher and higher, Zhuang Rongkun could not spend so much money to replenish the goods. Even if he took it out, he was reluctant to replenish the goods. Instead, with a fluke mentality, he expected that the international gold price would plummet when the price was lower. Replenishment. Anyway, Hang Lung Bank already has more than 100,000 ounces of gold futures contracts and bought more than half of the total sales volume. He does not believe that more than half of the customers will deliver gold futures at the same time. Zhuang Rongkun was very uneasy when he thought that a large number of gold futures contracts came out at a close time. He had worried before, but he hadn''t seen any movement and he slowly ignored it. Unexpectedly, there would be someone suddenly today. Come out for delivery. I just hope this is just an accident! He was worried, and asked Zhao Quanhao: "What is the international gold price now? How much does a hole of less than 178,000 ounces cost?" Zhao Quanhao replied with a trembling voice: "Yesterday the price of London gold was 512 US dollars/ About ounces, it would cost 91 million U.S. dollars to make up, which is about 420 million Hong Kong dollars." "How much?" "420 million?!" After Zhuang Rongkun was shocked, he fell silent, thinking about the original gold futures collection. , His face became very ugly. "So we have lost 300 million yuan in the gold futures business?" Facing Zhuang Rongkun''s questioning, Zhao Quan was sweating like the rain but he did not dare to say anything. Although the source of this cause was that Zhuang Rongkun misappropriated funds, Zhuang Rongkun is the president. As a subordinate, if he argues, it is his fault no matter what. Anyway, the bank is not his. He should lower his head and remain silent. If he is a big deal, he will be scolded, and he will pass. The more Zhuang Rongkun thinks, the more his heart trembles, his loss of 300 million yuan! How to fill this pit! And if the international gold price continues to rise, this pit will not only be 300 million, it will get higher and higher! As the president of the bank, he is very clear about the current situation of Hang Lung Bank. Let alone 300 million Hong Kong dollars, after paying Lu Yuesong''s 23.35 million, the current capital is only 120 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not enough to fill the 300 million loss hole. As for the current gap of 420 million in gold futures, it is impossible to fill it! If all of Hang Lung Bank¡¯s gold futures contracts were to be delivered, after Hang Lung Bank had to sell the 176,000 ounces of contracts it held, it would have to give out another 420 million to customers, even if he was killed! What a big thunder! No way! This news must not be leaked out, otherwise customers who buy gold futures will definitely be rushed for delivery, then Hang Lung Bank will be unlucky! The most important thing now is time. There is enough time for him to raise funds, increase his ability to resist risks, and then do the accounting work step by step, and finally fill in the pit, so that the storm will disappear silently. Zhuang Rongkun thought a lot and thought of a way. But this matter has to be shut up. Thinking of this, Zhuang Rongkun looked at Zhao Quanhao faintly, seeing the latter''s heart straightening. "Xiao Zhao, keep your mouth tight, you must never let other people know about this matter, do you understand?" Zhuang Rongkun said with a stern look like a knife. Zhao Quanhao nodded like garlic, and promised: "President, I promise to be tight-lipped!" "Yeah!" "Keep busy, and report to me as soon as possible!" Zhuang Rongkun nodded slightly. "Yes!" Zhao Quanhao raised his head and answered loudly, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and finally passed this level. It''s just that Zhuang Rongkun and Zhao Quanhao were too lucky, or deceived themselves. Not long after Lu Yuesong left, Zhao Quanhao reported that he hadn''t finished a cup of tea in the office, and another major client came to deliver gold futures This time the volume was even larger, reaching 12,000 ounces. The current price is more than 28 million Hong Kong dollars. Zhao Quanhao panicked immediately, and immediately reported to Zhuang Rongkun after stabilizing the incoming person. After Zhuang Rongkun received the news, his heart was shaken, and a cloud quickly formed in his heart. Intuition told him that it was worse! However, he still had a fluke mentality and tried to cover the lid first to gain time to raise funds. Therefore, in the face of large customers'' request for gold delivery, although the time was delayed, he finally agreed to the delivery. On the other hand, he immediately asked Zhao Quanhao to arrange for a seller of the 176,000 ounces of London gold futures contract currently worth 414.5 million. After raising HK$414.5 million, the ability to deal with half of the gold futures contracts will definitely dispel the doubts of gold customers, and then proceed slowly. Of course, there is another possibility that Zhuang Rongkun didn''t dare to think about it, and he didn''t want to think about it. It''s a pity that a nightmare is coming. In the next two days, Zhuang Rongkun experienced the excitement of riding a roller coaster. Customers who came to deliver gold futures one after another, Hang Lung Bank¡¯s 120 million cash was quickly emptied. Just when he was anxious, the 176,000 ounces of London gold futures contract he held was eaten up, and Hang Lung Bank received a cash of over 400 million yuan, and he was finally able to take a sigh of relief. But in the face of a steady stream of large customers demanding delivery with large gold futures order contracts, Zhuang Rongkun could only endure tremendous pressure while smiling face to face and persuading with a smile, trying to dispel the delivery ideas of large customers. But without exception, they all failed, and in the end they could only grit their teeth and give money. Liu Tianci started, naturally it is impossible to target the Hang Lung Bank. Ka Wah Bank, not far from the headquarters of Hang Lung Bank, is also facing the same situation. As soon as it fell, the two well-known banks in Hong Kong were in a dilemma. PS: Ask for recommended monthly tickets and subscriptions. v2 Chapter 571: Time to do it Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 571 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2488 words In less than two days, the 411.45 billion Hong Kong dollars from the sale of 176,000 ounces of gold and the 120 million liquid funds originally held by the bank left only 60 million Hong Kong dollars! Even if Zhuang Rongkun is a pig, he knows he has been shamed, but he doesn''t know who it is, and he doesn''t have time to find out who it is. On this day, in the office of the President of Hang Lung Bank in Central, Zhuang Rongkun was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression. Opposite him was a man who was very similar to him but older than him. It was his man who ran a steel group in the Philippines. His brother Zhuang Qingquan. It''s just that Zhuang Qingquan''s face is also gloomy. In just two days, Hang Lung Bank had a net outflow of more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars in the gold futures business, and it is still being lost, and the bank''s capital chain will soon be broken. This news shocked him. But after his younger brother Zhuang Rongkun¡¯s explanation, Zhuang Qingquan also knew that it was no wonder his younger brother, after all, he would also be recruited if he changed his job. Their two brothers had similar business philosophy. Zhuang Qingquan asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who is behind the black hand?" Zhuang Rongkun was ashamed, and shook his head and said, "I asked people to check it, but they couldn''t find out. All the people who came to buy gold futures were white gloves." Zhuang Qingquan looked solemn, pondered for a moment and then asked the key data: "Have you ever made statistics, what is the abnormal gold futures volume?" Zhuang Rongkun spit out a data with difficulty: "The amount of 267,000 ounces is now worth 6.3. One hundred million." As soon as this number came out, Zhuang Qingquan''s heart sank suddenly. 630 million? Calculating the abnormal delivery data during this period, it will take 135 million to complete the delivery of the 267,000 ounce abnormal gold futures contract. But now Hang Lung Bank only has 60 million Hong Kong dollars in funds! The collapse of Hang Lung Bank''s capital chain is still 73.5 million. Not to mention that in addition to these abnormal gold futures contracts, Hang Lung Bank has more than 80,000 gold futures contracts that are close to 90,000 ounces. These are other customers, and there is absolutely no way to deal with them if they come for delivery. For a moment, the office fell into silence, Zhuang Rongkun lowered his head in shame and resentment in his heart. "Akun, are you sure that the abnormal gold futures contract volume is only 267,000 ounces?" After Zhuang Qingquan was silent, he looked at his younger brother Zhuang Rongkun with a grim expression, and asked solemnly again. Zhuang Rongkun nodded heavily: "Yes, I asked Zhao Quanhao to check when something went wrong. According to the price at that time, the buyer bought a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars in gold futures, but now it has risen to 620 million Hong Kong dollars." Zhuang Qingquan nodded, frowned and thought for a while and muttered to himself: "I''m afraid that the enemy still has a back hand, otherwise we can borrow 200 million Hong Kong dollars to fill the hole, and even if there is a difference of more than 100 million, the delivery will satisfy them." As for the refusal to deliver, neither Zhuang Rongkun nor Zhuang Qingquan thought about it, or said they thought about it but didn''t dare to do it. Maybe the secret enemy is just waiting for them to refuse to deliver, and then they can make the matter big. If news comes out that Hang Lung Bank can''t get the money, the matter will be big, and if it is careless, it will be an abyss. Of course, if he knew that the enemy had held such a large gold futures contract before, Zhuang Qingquan could still refuse to exchange it. Even if a run occurs, more than 500 million cash can completely suppress the storm. What is the big difference between facing an opponent and facing a large number of customers. Who knew that this enemy was such a chicken thief, boiled frogs in warm water, and cut the meat a little bit. After they had summed up and investigated the situation, it was too late and the money had been delivered. Now that the big heads are out, there is no need to risk the remaining small part. It can be said that Liu Tianci has calculated their psychological thoughts. "Big brother, it shouldn''t be supposed to be. There is no matter of supplementing the London Gold futures contract. Only me and Zhao Quanhao know that such a large amount of capital is involved. This is a top commercial secret of the bank and it is impossible for outsiders to know. "I can''t tell, I''ve never been drunk. As for Zhao Quanhao, it shouldn''t be possible to do this. I didn''t find him strange." Zhuang Rongkun wrinkled his face, unable to figure out what went wrong. Zhuang Qingquan looked at his distressed younger brother, and finally said, "Forget it, it''s useless to think about it now. The most important thing is to deal with the past quickly." "The best way now is to borrow from a colleague as soon as possible, and borrow more to prevent "Unexpected." "I won''t go back during this time. I will stay here for the time being. We can discuss things as soon as possible." "Okay, then I will go." After the two brothers discussed, Zhuang Rongkun acted immediately and went to Standard Chartered Bank. Borrow funds. He is not going to go to HSBC and Hang Seng Bank. After all, the money for the delivery of gold futures in the past two days has been put into HSBC bank accounts, which means that more than 400 million funds flowed from Hang Lung Bank to HSBC Bank. Such a large inflow of funds in a short period of time will definitely arouse the attention of HSBC Principal Shen Bi. If he goes to HSBC for a loan, he will tell HSBC that Hang Lung Bank has a big problem, and HSBC will definitely not Borrowed. As for Hang Seng Bank, the first controlling shareholder is HSBC, and the news is common. It is also difficult for him to borrow money from Hang Seng Bank and it may expose the news of Hang Lung Bank''s weakness. There are only a few big banks in Hong Kong. Banks such as Far East Bank and Bank of China are less powerful. They want to borrow a large amount of money, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not the first choice. In this way, the best choice is Standard Chartered Bank. Just when Zhuang Rongkun went to Standard Chartered Bank, someone came to deliver the gold futures. Zhao Quanhao tried his best to delay the time, but in the end he had no choice but to agree to the delivery step by step. In the Jiuding Bank Building not far from Hang Lung Bank, Liu Tianci and Xia Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking and laughing. "Chairman, according to the report from the people who came back, Hang Lung Bank is about to be unable to withstand it, and the amount of funds is almost exhausted." "However, we still have about 130 million gold futures contracts that have not been delivered, and it is estimated that Hang Lung Bank will not be able to get it out. Now." Liu Tianci said with a chuckle. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "Zhuang Rongkun can sell the London gold contract at one time and raise more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars is considered a skill. It is strange that he can accept all the contracts." "What about Ka Wah Bank? How is the situation? "Xia Yu asked again. "The same goes for Ka Wah Bank. We have already delivered 360 million Hong Kong dollars in gold futures contracts, and 60 million have not yet been delivered, so we are almost ready to start." Liu Tianci said with a smile. "True!" At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. The two stopped talking, and Liu Tianci turned around and said: "Come in." Soon the door opened and a subordinate came in and greeted respectfully: "Hello, chairman, general manager!" Seeing that it was the subordinate who was sent to stalk. Liu Tianci got the spirit, he immediately asked: "What happened?" The subordinate immediately said: "I have seen Zhuang Rongkun go out and followed his car all the way, and finally saw him in Standard Chartered Bank, so I hurried back. Report." Liu Tianci and Xia Yu both smiled upon hearing the subordinates'' words. Hang Lung Bank can''t hold it anymore, it''s almost time to do it! v2 Chapter 572: 1 ring to 1 ring Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 572 Author Huang Lao wet Full text number 3704 words Hang Lung Bank cannot be allowed to borrow money, it must be destroyed! Anyway, Hang Lung Bank must have suffered a serious loss. Even if Jiuding Bank takes over, the loss will be borne by Jiuding Bank. It doesn''t matter if you hold a part of the gold futures contract and don''t deliver it. With this chain tied to it, Hang Lung Bank can''t escape, and other people can''t take the fruit. Even if there is no acquisition value in the future, or it is not worthwhile, you can still use this gold futures contract to eat the meat of Hang Lung Bank into your mouth. However, the value of 135 million gold futures contracts is still too high, and it is about the same if it drops to about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. As long as the delivery of this single 50,000 ounce gold futures contract is complete, it is almost the case. Think about the time, it should be fast too! Sure enough, less than twenty minutes later, another person came in. It was the person who was discussing delivery of the gold futures contract with Zhao Quanhao when Zhuang Rongkun left. "Chairman and General Manager, 35.32 million Hong Kong dollars in cash has been put into HSBC''s account. This is a receipt." After that, the subordinate wanted to pass the receipt to Xia Yu, but saw Xia Yu begging him to give Liu Tianci . Liu Tianci glanced at the above amount and smiled with satisfaction: "Very good." "You go and do one more thing. This number is the number of a business manager''s office of Standard Chartered Bank. You immediately go to the public phone booth to call. Tell him that there is something wrong with the Hang Lung Bank''s accounts, and he is already insolvent, and he is borrowing money to make up the holes. Don''t say anything else." Liu Tianci took out a piece of paper with his phone number written in his pocket. Hand it to him, exhorted. The subordinates shuddered and took the note and said solemnly: "I''m going now." After speaking, he left quickly. These people are all people he can trust, and besides, he didn''t commit an illegal thing, even if it was exposed later, it didn''t matter. Anyway, in the end, as long as Jiuding Bank takes over Hang Lung Bank, this suspicion will never be washed away. But by then, what can be done if it is known? "God, tell Wen Han, you can do it." Xia Yu exhorted Liu Tianci with a smile. "Then I''ll call him." After that, Liu Tianci quickly walked to the desk and picked up the phone and dialed the office number of Yan Wenhan. ... Liao Rensheng is the loan department manager of Standard Chartered Bank. As a Chinese, he has been in the senior position of Standard Chartered Bank at the age of 38. He is also a rare talent. Just as he was busy approving large loans, the phone at the desk suddenly rang. "Ling Ling Ling..." Liao Rensheng looked at the telephone number display and found that it was a public number. He frowned slightly and paused for two seconds before connecting: "Hey, this is Standard Chartered Bank. Who do you call?" "... ¡­" "What? Where did your news come from?" "Toot toot..." After hearing what the stranger said, Liao Rensheng hurriedly asked, but what he got was a busy tone for hanging up, and he was stunned. "Hang Lung Bank has a problem with its financial accounts and is insolvent? Are you borrowing money to make up the holes?" Liao Rensheng frowned and muttered to himself, thinking about what impact this would have on Standard Chartered Bank. and many more! Just now, it seemed that someone went to the president''s office. That person seemed to be the president of Hang Lung Bank, Zhuang Rongkun? Liao Rensheng suddenly woke up. He recalled carefully and found that it was really Zhuang Rongkun. Almost half an hour has passed now! Combined with the phone call received now, Liao Rensheng can¡¯t sit still. He would rather trust it if it is not trustworthy. He will report whether it is true or not. If it is true, he still knows not to report that is his responsibility. . No matter what, since he received this call, he has the obligation to report to the president. As for how to decide, that''s the president''s business! Thinking of this, Liao Rensheng immediately left the office and walked towards the office of President Gals Liddell. After a while, Liao Rensheng came to the door. It happened that the door of the president''s office was open. At a glance, he saw the president Gals Liddell talking with Zhuang Rongkun. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Liao Rensheng''s heart was tight. "Tuk Tuk!" He immediately stood at the door and knocked on the door, attracting the attention of President Gals Liddell. Seeing the anxious look on Liao Rensheng''s face, Gals Liddell frowned slightly, and saw his subordinates gesturing for him to let him out. Gals Liddell stopped when he wanted Liao Rensheng to come in and report. Regarding the subordinate''s sudden abnormal behavior, Gals Liddell knew there must be something, and it should be inconvenient for outsiders to hear. So he smiled apologetically to Zhuang Rongkun: "Mr. Zhuang, please wait a moment, the company has some urgent things waiting for me to deal with, and I will be back soon." "Okay, you should be busy!" Although he is worried, Zhuang Rongkun knows that this time The more you have to be steady, so he smiled understandingly. Gals Liddell stood up with a smile and walked quickly outside. Zhuang Rongkun deliberately glanced at Liao Rensheng, but just happened to look at him, and saw some unusual look in Liao Rensheng''s eyes, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in Zhuang Rongkun''s heart. "What happened?" He followed his subordinates to another office, and when he saw his subordinates closed the door, he looked solemnly, and asked Gals Liddell with a slight frown. "President, I was reviewing the loan application materials just now, and suddenly I received a call from a public phone booth. A stranger told me that Hang Lung Bank''s accounts were insolvent, and I was borrowing money to fill the hole, saying That person hung up after all these, I felt something was wrong, and I immediately reported to you, the situation is like this." Liao Rensheng reported immediately. Gals Liddell''s face changed, his eyes looked like a knife at Liao Rensheng, but his subordinates looked calm. He retracted his gaze, squinted and turned his brain crazily. At the same time, he was afraid of almost agreeing to Zhuang Rongkun''s loan of 200 million Hong Kong dollars for a month from Hang Lung Bank. Hearing the reports from his subordinates, Gals Liddell had two years in his mind. The first was that someone was calculating Hang Lung Bank, and the second was that the news might be true. Although it is possible that the information was deliberately falsely transmitted, Gals Liddell did not dare to take the risk. How much service fee and interest can be paid in one month for borrowing 200 million funds? Closed with the principal of 200 million, it is too little. With the possibility of Hang Lung Bank going bankrupt, it is not worth pursuing these interest rates. The first thing in banking is stability, and only stability can last forever! At this moment, Gals Liddell made a decisive decision not to lend money to Hang Lung Bank. He thought for a while, and said to Liao Rensheng: "You go and find out what happened to Hang Lung Bank, and report the news to me immediately." "Yes!" Liao Rensheng raised his head and answered loudly. Afterwards, Gals Liddell opened the door and walked out, his complexion recovered, and he returned to his office. As soon as he sat down, Gals Liddell sighed with embarrassment. Zhuang Rongkun''s bad premonition grew stronger. He pretended to ask: "Mr. Gals, what''s the matter with you?" Gals Liddell looked at Liao Rensheng regretfully, and said apologetically: "I''m sorry, Mr. Zhuang, just now The subordinates of the loan department reported to me that a loan of 800 million yuan has been released, and now I have another loan application of 300 million yuan that needs my approval, but the bank¡¯s liquidity is tight.¡± Seeing Zhuang Rongkun¡¯s face turned ugly, Gals Lee Del did not move, and continued: "So there is no way to lend the free funds to Hang Lung Bank for the time being." Zhuang Rongkun smiled reluctantly, and fought again: "Mr. Gals, I also encountered a big project this time. One week, I gave the money to Standard Chartered Bank, and the weekly interest was raised 3 more points. What do you think?" Gals Liddell was unmoved, and still shook his head regretfully: "Mr. Zhuang, I''m sorry, I still Please understand if the stability of the bank is the prerequisite." "If I help you raise funds during this period, I can give you a definite answer in up to ten days. What do you think?" Gals Liddell said sincerely. . Ten days? In ten days, the day lily was cold, and of course Hang Lung Bank estimated that it would also become cold. No, since he can''t get 200 million, at least 80 million will be able to carry it temporarily and buy him emergency time. Zhuang Rongkun was anxious, and continued to fight: "Mr. Nagals, since your bank''s funds are tight, then I don''t want so much. I will lend me 100 million, okay?" Seeing Zhuang Rongkun chasing after him, Gals Lee The report from his subordinates sounded in Del''s mind, and the more he felt that the news was really , the less he wanted to lend money to Hang Lung Bank. "Mr. Zhuang, I''m really sorry, please forgive me for being helpless." Gals Liddell said apologetically. Seeing Gals Liddell refused again, Zhuang Rongkun''s heart sank to the bottom. The strangeness of Liao Rensheng just appeared in his mind, and he was very urgent, worried whether the news had leaked, which caused Gals Liddell to refuse to lend. Gals Liddell¡¯s words are definitely an excuse. I had a good talk with him just now, and almost agreed. How could Standard Chartered Bank run out of money? I definitely don''t want to lend it to him, not even the high interest! Thinking of possible accidents outside, Zhuang Rongkun couldn''t sit still, and sitting here was a waste of time. So he took the tea and finished it in one sip, stood up and said to Gals Liddell: "Well, Mr. Gals, I understand, then I will go back first, and look forward to the opportunity of cooperation next time." Gals Liddell shook hands with Zhuang Rongkun, and said with an apologetic smile: "Okay, I look forward to the next cooperation." Sending Zhuang Rongkun out of the house, watching his somewhat messy steps, Gals Liddell''s eyes became deep and he looked into His eyes swept around the door of the bank, trying to find some suspicious person. "It seems that the unfamiliar news should be true! And I know that Zhuang Rongkun came to Standard Chartered Bank to borrow money, so he must have been staring at him." "Interesting, why did that person tell me? Don''t you want Zhuang Rongkun to borrow money?" "Hehe, it''s my business. If it really goes bankrupt, it''s okay to sweep a competitor..." "It seems I have to make preparations. If Hang Lung Bank really goes bankrupt, its customers can still win over. If There is still some value, and it''s not impossible to buy it..." After Gals Liddell thought about it, a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned back to his office. PS: In the new week, please refer to the monthly ticket! v2 Chapter 573: Ruthless Rebirth of the Most Powerful Henry 573 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2826 words When Zhuang Rongkun went back, he found that his brother Zhuang Qingquan had not left and was still waiting in his office. Seeing Zhuang Rongkun¡¯s ugly face, Zhuang Qingquan shook his heart. He just wanted to ask, he heard his brother Zhuang Rongkun say: "Brother, the money has not been borrowed, and Gals Liddell of Standard Chartered Bank originally planned to lend me 200 million. But one of his subordinates suddenly appeared and asked him to go out. After he came back, he found an excuse to say that he had no money. Even if I only borrowed 100 million Hong Kong dollars, he would not accept it." "With the strength and reputation of our bank, it is not 100 million. He is willing to borrow, it seems that Gals Liddell probably knows something." Zhuang Qingquan''s expression also became ugly, and he immediately analyzed the words of his brother. Zhuang Rongkun nodded, his face even more serious, and said, "Brother, I am afraid there is a ghost inside the bank, otherwise it is impossible to be so clear about the situation, this is to block our way!" "Who did it so vicious?" In the end, Zhuang Rongkun gritted his teeth, his heart was burning with anger, and he wanted to catch the enemy hidden behind him and kill him. Zhuang Qingquan looked gloomy and said to his younger brother: "Akun, Zhao Quanhao came to report just now and delivered 35.32 million Hong Kong dollars in gold." Zhuang Rongkun''s face became more ugly, and his heart was full of dignity. In this way, the bank''s liquidity is only about 25 million, which is dangerous! "But the good news is that after the delivery of this batch, no one has so far taken a large number of gold futures orders to seek delivery." Zhuang Qingquan''s subsequent words made Zhuang Rongkun feel better, but Zhuang Rongkun was a little surprised. "It shouldn''t be. The estimated abnormal gold futures volume is about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Why do you stop it now?" "Akun, don''t worry about it now. There must be conspiracy behind. The only way is to prepare enough money. It is a loss of 300 million Hong Kong dollars. As long as the bank is in our hands, we can make it back and fill the holes in a few years." "It''s better for the enemy to stop doing it now. We don''t know what else the enemy has. What is the purpose? You and I are going to borrow money at the same time. You must temporarily fill the hole before the enemy starts. As long as you have enough capital, any storm can be smoothed." Zhuang Qingquan thought for a while and said quickly. If the news leaks out, there will definitely be a run, but as long as there is money, the run can be suppressed, and it will be easy to deal with it after a wave. "Well, then I will go to another bank now. I don''t believe that other banks also know the situation of our bank." After all, the two brothers split up. Before going out, Zhuang Rongkun deliberately found Zhao Quanhao and told him not to stop. The delivery of the gold must be delayed until he comes back, and he also urged him to pay attention to news in the industry. Any news that is not conducive to Hang Lung Bank should be reported immediately. Just when the two brothers Zhuang Qingquan and Zhuang Rongkun started to act, the time soon reached around 5 pm. During this period, Zhuang Rongkun borrowed 50 million Hong Kong dollars from the Far East Bank, and no one came to deliver the gold during the period, which made the two brothers loose. In one breath. In this way, Hang Lung Bank has more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, and the risk is greatly reduced. However, the facts proved that Zhuang Rongkun was happily too early. Back in time, when Zhuang Rongkun was still borrowing money from Standard Chartered Bank, Yan Wenhan started to do it. However, at the beginning, Yan Wenhan did not directly let the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company do it. The first reason was that it was too late. After all, Jiuding Newspaper Company did not have an evening paper, and some were daily newspapers. The second reason is that this kind of thing can be caught by others, and there is a risk of being opposed to the generals. Jiuding Newspaper Company cannot be the first to come out, and must let the dead ghosts rush to the front. Although this kind of explosive news will bring some newspaper sales, Yan Wenhan is not eye-catching at all. Jiuding Newspaper Company''s newspapers have passed that stage, and now we must focus on stability and strive for progress. It happens that this kind of hot news, as long as there is a certain degree of authenticity, the third-rate Evening News does not know how much it likes. After several third-rate tabloids received the anonymously sent news, the helm immediately ordered to change the headline of the day, and then rushed to the printing factory to print the newspaper and sell it as soon as possible. Soon, some freshly printed third-rate newspapers were delivered to major newsstands. The headline on the front page is bold and bold, for fear that readers might miss it! "Blast! Hang Lung Bank is suspected of embezzling customers'' funds to purchase gold futures, and has suffered losses of more than 100 million! "K. Wah Bank frequently borrows, and there is a suspected capital chain problem! "Hang Lung Bank lost a large number of gold futures contracts with a total value of more than 500 million! "K. Wah Bank has a net outflow of 300 million Hong Kong dollars in two days, suspected of embezzling client funds! "These third-rate tabloids are not shameless headline parties. In addition to eye-catching headlines, the news content is also justified. The most convincing readers are the photos, which are the remittance slips of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and the purchase orders of gold futures contracts from the two major banks. No matter how you look at it, although the word "suspect" is used in the title, these third-rate tabloids are very disciplined this time. Anyway, as soon as these newspapers went on sale, because the news was too strong, they quickly circulated the entire Xiangjiang. Newspaper booths repeatedly urged the goods, making the bosses of these third-rate tabloids very excited, secretly thanking those who provided the news anonymously. "Manager, it''s not good, something big happened!" Just when Zhao Quanhao was grateful that no one had come to deliver gold futures, the door of his office suddenly remembered a rapid knock on the door, and the subordinates'' surprise came outside. voice. Zhao Quanhao stood up directly with Ji Ling, his spirits were very tight these past two days, and any irritation made him flustered. He didn''t hesitate, walked quickly and opened the door. He saw his subordinate Li Chengren''s face pale and he was still holding a few newspapers tightly. Zhao Quanhao raised his throat with a heart. "What''s the matter?" Zhao Quan asked hurriedly. Li Chengren immediately handed Zhao Quanhao the newspaper he was holding tightly in his hand. He panted and said, "Manager, look at it, there is news that is unfavorable to us, and there is a big trouble." Zhao Quanhao was too late to think. He immediately snatched the newspaper in Li Chengren''s hands, and just saw the positive bold headline after it was spread out. "Blast! Hang Lung Bank suspected of embezzling customers'' funds to purchase gold futures has seen losses of more than billion! "This title made Zhao Quanhao''s pupils suddenly shrink, a feeling of suffocation hit his face. He swallowed and looked quickly at the text. "According to the insider, Hang Lung Bank misappropriated customers'' funds for buying gold futures for other purposes, and failed to replenish the London gold futures contract in time. Now the price of London gold futures has doubled, and Hang Lung Bank has suffered a loss of at least 300 million yuan. It was revealed that many big gold owners went to Hang Lung Bank to deliver gold futures..." The news content was shocking, and it was not very different from the actual situation of Hang Lung Bank. Zhao Quanhao''s first thought was that it was over. Thinking about it again, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat, terrified that the bank was about to encounter great trouble, and at the same time he himself was suspected of being inextricably troublesome, and the trouble was great! No, it must be rescued as soon as possible. He immediately told President Zhuang Rongkun that he was not responsible for this matter, and he had no choice. He immediately looked at the following newspapers, and realized that Ka Wah Bank was on the news like Hang Lung Bank. Ka Wah Bank has also been calculated? They Hang Lung Bank are not alone? However, whether it is bad luck for K. Wah Bank, sharing the pressure together is now the most important thing to report to the president. "Where did these newspapers come from? When did they appear?" Zhao Quanhao grabbed Li Chengren''s arm and asked with wide-open eyes. He must figure out the situation before reporting. Although his arm was hurt by the manager¡¯s hand, Li Chengren couldn¡¯t take care of it. He immediately said, ¡°I bought it from a newsstand not far from the door. I just bought a newspaper when I was free. The newsstand owner said yes. It was delivered at five o¡¯clock in the afternoon." "Okay!" Zhao Quanhao finished, and immediately set off for Sun Hung Kai Bank. Not long ago, there was a 50 million yuan call from Far East Bank. Zhuang Rongkun called and told him to Going to Sun Hung Kai Bank is to notify you immediately if something goes wrong. v2 Chapter 574: Run on Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 574 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2338 words Sun Hung Kai Bank was founded by Feng Jingxi, a well-known financial tycoon in Xiangjiang, who was known as the "stock god" of Xiangjiang before Xia Yu. Relying on Feng Jingxi''s influence in the financial industry, Sun Hung Kai Bank developed rapidly after its establishment and is now a medium-sized bank. That afternoon, Zhuang Rongkun came to Sun Hung Kai Bank without an appointment, and Feng Jingxi happened to be in the bank. At this time, the two had already discussed lending in Feng Jingxi''s office. Feng Jingxi knows very well about Hang Lung Bank, and it has been nearly three years since the Chuang Brothers acquired Hang Lung Bank in 1976. In the past three years, Feng Jingxi has also had a lot of contact with Zhuang Rongkun. Although he is a peer competitor, he can barely be regarded as a competitor. Friends. So for Zhuang Rongkun to borrow 100 million Hong Kong dollars, Feng Jingxi still plans to print after thinking about it. While waiting for Feng Jingxi to order his subordinates to fit in, Zhuang Rongkun was secretly happy, but his face was calm, and Feng Jingxi talked and laughed about the current economic situation in Xiangjiang. Waiting left and right, just when Zhuang Rongkun was a little anxious, the subordinate who had just done the contract came back again, but he looked wrong, still holding a few newspapers in his hand, and did not take Zhuang Rongkun''s long-awaited contract. Upon seeing this, Feng Jingxi frowned slightly. Before asking, he saw that his subordinates ignored Zhuang Rongkun, presented the newspaper to Feng Jingxi, whispered a few times in his ear, and then looked at Zhuang Rongkun with strange eyes. Such a mysterious scene made Zhuang Rongkun''s heart gradually sink to the bottom, but he still maintained a calm smile on his face, except that the back of his hands on his knees violently violently, already revealing his inner uneasiness. When Feng Jingxi opened the newspaper and read it, the headline changed his expression slightly. Then he read the front page news blankly and looked at several other newspapers. Five minutes later, Feng Jingxi finally raised his head and looked at Zhuang Rongkun faintly. When he saw Zhuang Rongkun, his heart grew furry and the smile on his face became stiff. "Zhuang Sheng, you just said that you want to lend a 300 million loan to Swire Group, so you borrowed 100 million Hong Kong dollars from our bank, but the news broke in this newspaper does not say that..." Feng Jingxi said quietly, looking towards Zhuang Rongkun''s eyes became unhappy. He has enough ability to distinguish right from wrong. After reading the news in these newspapers, although he knows that these newspapers are third-rate tabloids, the content of the news is justified. Feng Jingxi already believes that there is a problem with Hang Lung Bank. Even if it is not the problem with gold futures, it is also in other areas. In short, Hang Lung Bank must have a big problem with its capital chain, so it was only just now that it urgently borrowed from him and raised its lending rate. Isn''t this cheating him? It was clear that Feng Jingxi did not have an attack on the spot when dragging him into the water, but also to save some face. Zhuang Rongkun''s expression changed slightly, and he looked at the newspaper in Feng Jingxi''s hand, who handed it to him. Zhuang Rongkun immediately took the newspaper, and what caught his eye was a huge eye-catching headline, which made his expression change uncontrollably. "Blast! Hang Lung Bank is suspected of embezzling customers'' funds to purchase gold futures, and has suffered losses of more than 100 million! "At this moment, he was in a state of chaos in a moment, and he didn''t care about pretending to read the news quickly. Feng Jingxi leaned on the sofa and watched the changes in Zhuang Rongkun''s expression quietly, without saying a word. Soon, Zhuang Rongkun finished reading these newspapers, and his heart was overwhelmed, but he didn''t forget the occasion of the incident. He looked up and saw Feng Jingxi''s expressionless face. He was deeply embarrassed. "Feng Sheng, these newspapers are third-rate tabloids. They are definitely slander. I will definitely sue them. Our bank is really short of funds because of lending. A few months ago, it also released 500 million Hong Kong dollars to Jiuding Property Group. This led to great financial pressure." Zhuang Rongkun also tried to explain to cover up the embarrassment. But Feng Jingxi didn¡¯t want to talk any more. He showed a smile and nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Zhuang Rongkun¡¯s words: ¡°Zhuang Sheng, sometimes third-rate tabloids like to fabricate fake news. I have encountered them.¡± Although Feng Jingxi¡¯s position seems to be standing On Zhuang Rongkun''s side, but as he said, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhuang Rongkun himself. This time, the tea did not stop at seven minutes, but just filled it up. Zhuang Rongkun''s face became stiff, and he looked at Feng Jingxi, whose eyes were indifferent, but an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He knew that this was going bad, but Feng Jingxi gave him a bit of face. But if he continues to stalk, he will be shameless. It''s useless to rely on here, the urgent task is to go back and deal with it. Therefore, Zhuang Rongkun did not touch the tea, stood up, and said to Feng Jingxi with a stiff smile: "Feng Sheng, my company has something to do, then go back first." "Okay, I''ll send it to you." Feng Jingxi also smiled and stood up and said. The two did not mention the 100 million Hong Kong dollar loan. "Don''t use it, you can''t waste your time Zhuang Rongkun finished speaking, and left quickly. Seeing Zhuang Rongkun''s anger, Feng Jingxi sneered, then looked at the newspaper that Zhuang Rongkun put down, and reported to his subordinates. Said appreciatively: "Very good, you have helped the company a lot and done a good job! "Thank you, the president for the compliment!" "The subordinate smiled and said respectfully. After Zhuang Rongkun left Sun Hung Kai Bank, he just wanted to get in the car, but he happened to see Zhao Quanhao getting out of a car and rushing towards the gate of Sun Hung Kai Bank. However, Zhao Quanhao also ran away. Not blind, he happened to see Zhuang Rongkun, he immediately ran to Zhuang Rongkun, breathing heavily to report to Zhuang Rongkun: "President, something big happened, some newspaper broke the news that was bad for us. "As he said, Zhao Quanhao handed Zhuang Rongkun the newspaper he was holding tightly in his hand. However, Zhuang Rongkun, who had an ugly face, didn''t pick it up, and said with a gloomy expression: "I see, follow me back. "Then let the bewildered Zhao Quanhao get into the car, and then the car rushed out and drove to the headquarters of Hang Lung Bank in Central. With the launch of these third-rate tabloid evening papers, more and more people knew about Hang Lung. Unfavorable news from banks and Ka Wah Bank. Especially financial institutions, which are most sensitive to intelligence and know the importance of first-hand news. Therefore, whether it is a daily newspaper or a morning or evening newspaper, it will be purchased as soon as possible. Every financial institution has A dedicated person is responsible for this work. And Feng Jingxi and other bank leaders who already know the situation also have friends of their own. After learning this superb news, they will notify their friends as soon as possible to avoid being affected. Therefore. , The news about Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank¡¯s capital chain problems spread throughout the financial circle for the first time. When Zhuang Rongkun returned to Hang Lung Bank, there were already many people in the lobby of the bank, and it seemed a bit chaotic. The purpose of these people There is only one. That is to withdraw the deposits in Hang Lung Bank! The run is coming! v2 Chapter 575: Implicated innocent Rebirth of the Most Powerful Henry Zhuang Rongkun returned without success, so did Zhuang Qingquan, and Qiu Degen, president of Far East Bank, who had just lent 50 million Hong Kong dollars to Hang Lung Bank, vomited blood. He immediately called Zhuang Rongkun to get the 50 million Hong Kong dollars back. It''s a pity that it is a matter of the life and death of his own bank. With a white and black sign, when the money is in hand, Zhuang Rongkun will be like Qiu Degen''s wish. These days, it is the uncle who owes money. Upstairs in the Ka Wah Bank, Liu Cansong stood in a more secret corner, watching the crowds in the lobby of the bank, all expressions of excitement, crowded to withdraw money, the bank staff tried their best to maintain order, and the lobby manager was sweating profusely. He clenched his fists, his forehead burst into blue veins, and his anger was nowhere to be released. He got the news even later. When a large number of depositors came to withdraw money, the bank staff found that something was wrong and immediately investigated the cause and reported to him. When he knew, the bank hall was already full. After thinking about it, he still didn''t come forward, but asked the lobby manager to order the position and calm the customer''s mood. Ka Wah Bank now has a cash flow of less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and its gold futures business has a deficit of 220 million Hong Kong dollars. As soon as the newspaper reported that Ka Wah Bank had embezzled funds, Liu Cansong knew it was bad. Even if these third-rate tabloids were sealed by means, it would be too late. Tomorrow all newspapers in Hong Kong will report unfavorable news about Ka Wah Bank. A run is inevitable, but how can the cash of less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars withstand it? If those customers who bought gold futures rushed to deliver, it would definitely be fatal. Compared with ordinary depositors who withdraw several hundred, several thousand and up to tens of thousands each time, these customers who buy gold futures have a bottom line of tens of thousands of settlements, and there are many millions of them. Funds of less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars are simply not sustainable. how long. He wanted to borrow, but no bank or company would lend him, and even he was about to face those big corporate customers who wanted to withdraw their working capital from Ka Wah Bank. This was horrible. The more I think about it, the more depressed Liu Cansong''s heart is, and he feels that the huge waves are about to drown him. After a while, the lobby manager secretly left and ran in front of Liu Cansong. The sweaty lobby manager''s throat burst into flames. He said with difficulty: "President, the situation is not optimistic. More and more people come to withdraw money. We "Liu Cansong nodded with a gloomy face, took a deep breath and ordered with difficulty: "Today is more than ten minutes before closing. Once it is time, you just close the window and let them come back tomorrow." The manager''s expression changed, and he blurted out: "But this..." Liu Cansong interrupted the lobby manager and unquestionably ordered: "Just do it!" The lobby manager swallowed the words back into his stomach, and responded with a bitter face: " Yes!" Then, the lobby manager left with heavy steps. Looking at the back of the lobby manager, Liu Cansong sighed weakly. How does he not know the disadvantage of forcibly closing? But he also knows that if he insists on not closing, then depositors will not believe that Ka Wah Bank has enough money, and will definitely withdraw money overnight. Funds of less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars are definitely not enough. And he is more aware that only a few third-rate tabloids this afternoon led to this situation. Early tomorrow morning, the major newspapers will definitely report the news, which is known to all in Hong Kong at that time. After tonight¡¯s news has been fermented, Ka Wah Bank will be crowded tomorrow. He can do nothing now. The only way is to get enough money to deal with the run. But the current situation still involves the big taint of misappropriating customer funds and causing huge losses of billions. He knows that the major banks and financial institutions of the chicken thief will never borrow a penny. Even if it is to find a close friend, the difficulty will increase infinitely. "Hey..." This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Zhuang brothers and the Liu brothers. Because they worked hard all night, they did not borrow a penny. Instead, they borrowed money frequently, which made outsiders more affirmed the newspaper. The bar reports. Of course, people who can¡¯t sleep this night and the depositors of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, think of the hard-earned money in the two major banks, who can sleep? There were also many people who were waiting at the door of the head offices and branches of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank all night with their passbooks. Such a scene attracted a large number of reporters to take pictures and interviews. It is believed that the next day, these world-renowned news will spread throughout Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia through the mouth of the media. The weather was fine the next day. Sure enough, none of the newspapers in Hong Kong headed by a series of newspapers from Jiuding Press did not report on the hot issues of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. People who did not know the news yesterday were shocked by the news, especially the depositors of the two major banks. His face changed greatly, and the class was gone and went straight home to take the passbook and queue up to withdraw money. On the way to work, Xia Yu saw a branch of Hang Lung Bank in the Kowloon area crowded with people, and the lobby of the bank was crowded with people, too crowded. Seeing such a magnificent scene, Xia Yu stopped and watched for a while before leaving with an inexplicable smile. Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are doomed! In Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long District, New Territories, Chen Qiang rummaged through boxes at home and finally found his regular passbook at the bottom of the box. Picking up the passbook, he quickly ran out the door and rushed to the nearest Hang Lung Bank branch on Anning Road. He knew it was too late, for fear that he would not be able to get the money if he was late. As for the three-year fixed deposit interest, Chen Qiang has already forgotten about it, first take the capital back, and talk about it. The interest that was valued in the past is not worth mentioning in front of the principal. It''s just that when he just left the house, he saw Chen Dashan, his neighbor''s cousin. Chen Dashan saw his nephew look flustered, and immediately asked concerned: "Qiangzi, what''s the matter? What happened?" Chen Qiang stopped and hurriedly said, "Uncle, my money is in Hang Lung Bank. It is said that Hang Lung Bank has misappropriated funds and lost several hundred million. I have to get the money back quickly, or it will be gone." "I''m leaving now, I won''t tell you, it''s too late, there is a newspaper on the stool in my house, you Go and see for yourself." Abandoning these words, Chen Qiang disappeared at a speed of 100 meters while Chen Dashan was dumbfounded. "Wait! Hang Lung Bank is not an old bank, why is it going bankrupt?" Chen Dashan muttered to himself, thinking of his nephew saying that there is a newspaper in his house, and he saw the newspaper on the stool when he went in, and it was still Xiangjiang. He picked it up and read it immediately, the largest newspaper "Jiuding Daily". After reading it, he said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, my money was not deposited in Ka Wah Bank and Hang Lung Bank. I did not expect that these two such powerful and established banks had problems. Hey, I hope Qiangzai will take the money. Come back, this is the wife''s book that his mother saved for him." Just after rejoicing, his face stiffened, and a thought came to his mind. Part of his family¡¯s money is stored in Conifer Bank This is a bank smaller than Ka Wah Bank and Hang Lung Bank. At that time, it was also because of the closeness of the bank and the higher deposit interest rate. of. Although there is now a Jiuding Bank with the highest deposit interest rate in Hong Kong, his fixed deposit is due in eight months, so he has not withdrawn and deposited it in Jiuding Bank. Only now, he suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Even the old banks such as Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank have problems, and each loses hundreds of millions. Small banks such as Kang Nian Bank have also given such a high deposit interest rate. Is there a problem with the capital chain? ? Although the newspaper didn''t report it, it doesn''t mean there is no risk, right? The more he thought about it, the less he felt in Chen Dashan''s heart. Thinking of the 5,000 Hong Kong dollars he had saved, his heart became anxious. Do you want to get it back? If you get it back, the interest that persisted for more than two years is gone. If you don¡¯t get it back, if something goes wrong with Conian Bank, the capital may be gone. After struggling for a long time, Chen Dashan, who was cautious, gritted his teeth, resolutely returned home, found his passbook, and headed for Connian Bank. And because Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank have exploded, there are many choices like Chen Dashan. For a time, not only Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank were overcrowded, but the number of withdrawals from many small banks also surged. This is the sorrow of small banks. The creditworthiness in the hearts of the general public is not high enough, and they are easily affected by storms. As for the big banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, there is no such worry, and depositors are very confident. Although Jiuding Bank is a new bank, the public''s confidence in it is not bad. After all, it is the bank of the stock **** and will deposit money to the depositors of Jiuding Bank. He knows a lot about Xia Yu''s deeds and naturally knows Xia Yu''s wealth and capital flow. Is huge, so save money safely. For a while, the entire Heung Kong banking industry was affected. An impetuous breath filled the sky above Xiangjiang. v2 Chapter 576: Rejection and doubt Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 576 Author Huang Laoshi Full Text Count 2867 Words This day, for the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers, is a rare day of suffering in their lives. Although Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank both solemnly held a press conference to deny their own bank¡¯s problems, and Hang Lung Bank directly invited a large number of security guards to move out 20 million Hong Kong dollars in cash on the glass behind the Hang Lung Bank counter. In the cabinet. A small pile of cash appeared, giving people a shocking visual impact. A small number of people were really deceived and gave up the withdrawal. But when it comes to self-interest, most depositors are determined to withdraw their money. However, some people believe that the pressure on Hang Lung Bank will be less. On the contrary, Ka Wah Bank, Liu Cansong did not borrow money, so the bank¡¯s liquidity is already close to the high-risk warning line of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and its public relations capabilities are not as good as the Chuang brothers. Therefore, Ka Wah Bank is facing a better situation than Hang Lung Bank. It''s more serious. There was no way, Liu Cansong could only call his brother in Singapore and after discussing with him, he decided to abandon Ka Wah Bank. The gold futures business lost 220 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it was not as good as the original value of Ka Wah Bank, the sudden run time now has a bad impact on Ka Wah Bank. It is too risky to continue to invest money. Even if it survives the run, the brand value and assets of Ka Wah Bank will shrink significantly. They will have to invest hundreds of millions in it, which is not worth it. Between losing a Ka Wah Bank, and losing the bank and the subsequent investment of funds, the Liu Cansong brothers reluctantly prepared the brave man to break his wrist. Of course, if someone takes over or someone borrows money, that would be great. Therefore, the Liu Cansong brothers contacted people everywhere, wanting to change hands or borrow money from Ka Wah Bank at a low price, but at this time, no one dared to accept it, and no institution dared to borrow money. Even some fascinating institutions, such as HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, dare not rush to take over when the situation is uncertain. After all, who knows how many billions Ka Wah Bank has lost, what if a bigger mine is buried under the mine? Don''t hurt yourself! Of course, after all, there is still a silver lining. If you are mentally prepared, you still have to work hard. For example, you have to call back the loan and recover part of the money you previously lent. This can also resist pressure. So when Ka Wah Bank stopped lending, all employees in the loan department were trying to recover the loan. As for the Chuang brothers, the choices of the Liu brothers are different. They are more confident in themselves and believe that Hang Lung Bank can save it again. But it¡¯s normal to think about it. After all, after borrowing 50 million Hong Kong dollars from Far East Bank, Hang Lung Bank still has more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, which is seven times as much as Ka Wah Bank¡¯s 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The Chuang brothers More confidence also makes sense. However, in the face of a hole of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, 70 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough, so the Chuang brothers still have to borrow as much money as possible. When the major financial institutions did not borrow money, the Chuang brothers turned their attention to the big brothers in Xiangjiang. After some screening, the Chuang brothers fixed their eyes on Li Jiacheng. The Chuang brothers are from Jinjiang in Fujian province. Li Jiacheng¡¯s uncle Zhuang Jin¡¯an can have distant relatives with them, while Fujian merchants and Chaoshan businessmen like to hug the township party and value the friendship with the country, so the Chuang brothers came to see if there is any opportunity. In the Li family mansion, brothers Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan sat face to face with Li Jiacheng, drinking tea and chatting. Due to his affection, Li Jiacheng chose to let them in when facing the Zhuang brothers who came to the door with gifts. However, with a bright heart, he drank tea slowly, and wondered how to deal with the next problems facing the Chuang brothers. Seeing Li Jiacheng pretending to be stupid, Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan looked at each other, and it was Zhuang Rongkun, who was more familiar with Li Jiacheng and who often lived in Xiangjiang. "Li Sheng, Uncle Zhuang''s health is okay. I''m ashamed. We haven''t visited him since we visited him in December last year." Li Jiacheng smiled faintly, and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, my uncle. The body is still very tough." "Then we can rest assured as juniors." Zhuang Rongkun showed a relieved expression, but Li Jiacheng just smiled and did not answer. This kind of distant and weak relationship is not worth his risk to help Zhuang Rongkun two brothers. "Li Sheng, I also encountered difficulties this time. You should have heard that Hang Lung Bank''s capital chain is relatively tight, and it has been targeted by people with bad intentions, which made me in trouble." "This is how it happened. Yes, some large clients have delivered gold futures, and within two days they have delivered more than 400 million yuan. Based on the principle of honest management, I agreed to drain Hang Lung Bank¡¯s liquid funds." For the gold futures delivery application that came up later, I negotiated with them to temporarily postpone the turnover of funds for two days. Who knows those customers refused, and I don¡¯t know how the news leaked out, so I said that our bank funds were chained out. Question." Speaking of this, Zhuang Rongkun looked sad and indignant, and sighed: "The delivery of more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars in two days. How many banks in Hong Kong have the strength of Hang Lung Bank? I didn''t expect that I was carelessly. People are overcast, hey..." Now that the news is exposed, Zhuang Rongkun has also read the news, so in order to deceive money, he thought of this logically said past lie in an attempt to win Li Jiacheng¡¯s trust and borrowed from him. money. It''s just that Li Jiacheng is a person who has seen big winds and waves after all. He has clear ears and clear eyes, and is not easily affected. After hearing Zhuang Rongkun''s words, he also rushed into the play, showing sympathy, and comforted: "Zhuang Sheng , You can come up with more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars, which shows that the bank is strong, but just lack of luck and sorrow, as long as the bank itself is okay, it will definitely be able to survive." Zhuang Rongkun immediately said, "I also know the truth. But the most important thing is to survive the critical period of these few days. As long as customers can mention money for a few days in a row, the run-on turmoil will slowly subside, but the key is that the capital chain is tight and I am worried that it will not be able to survive this. Didn¡¯t I come to you for help.¡± ¡°Li Sheng, according to the relationship, we are also a family. I don¡¯t know if we can help the brother?¡± Zhuang Qingquan also seized the opportunity to agree: ¡°Yes, Li Sheng, if I didn¡¯t just recently I invested in a new large-scale steel plant, and I can draw some funds from Apollo Steel ~ www.novelhall.com~ Who expected things to happen so coincidental, otherwise I wouldn''t be brazen and cause you trouble." The brothers'' rhetoric, one after another, wiped out the Hang Lung Bank''s problem, and at the same time blocked Li Jiacheng''s proposal to let their dealer pay the money in advance. It''s just that Li Jiacheng had a judgment in his heart, and was not moved. He apologized and said: "Zhuang Sheng, it''s not that I refuse to help. It''s that I have just developed a few plots of land and all the funds have been invested. It is on the Wan Chai Wharf and Ming Fung Road in the East District on Hong Kong Island. You should also listen. Said it." "It''s really unfortunate. If two or three months in advance, or half a year later, I can definitely lend you 200 million." Brother Zhuang''s face turned black when he heard it. Li Jiacheng said generously, but it was a bad check. Two or three months in advance? It''s all over now, and it''s a waste of words. As for half a year later, Hang Lung Bank may not be able to survive long ago. If it survives, it will prove that Hang Lung Bank is okay, and Li Jiacheng is also relieved to borrow 200 million in funds. Of course, after half a year, Hang Lung Bank does not need to borrow any more, and Li Jiacheng may not be willing to remember what he said today. So speaking of it, Li Jiacheng, the fox, is doing Tai Chi. "Li Sheng..."... The Zhuang brothers continued to work hard, but Li Jiacheng was as slippery as a loach. Finally, Zhuang Qingquan, who saw clearly, interrupted his younger brother Zhuang Rongkun''s idea of ??continuing to persuade, and offered goodbye. Watching the car body of the Zhuang brothers away, Li Jiacheng looked up at the sky faintly. "Who did it on Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank at the same time?" "HSBC Bank? Standard Chartered Bank? Jiuding Bank? Or somebody else?" "Now the public opinion of Hong Kong has reached its climax in one day. This situation seems familiar. Wouldn''t it be him?" Thinking of this, a familiar figure appeared in Li Jiacheng''s mind. PS: Ask for recommended monthly tickets and full reservations, thank you! v2 Chapter 577: Harvest Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 577 Author Huang Laoshi, 3737 words Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, an old bank, exploded, and the impact on major banks was unparalleled. In particular, the Li family of the Bank of East Asia, the Wu family of Wing Lung Bank, the Ma family, the Liao family, the Qiu family of Tai Sang Bank, etc., all immediately mobilized to inquire about the situation. These family-run banks have the same strength as Hang Lung Bank. Ka Wah Bank seems to be different, for fear that its own bank will follow in the footsteps. In this critical period, one must be one-and-two-point spirits to allow the bank to operate stably. There are many smart people in Hong Kong. Even if they are not family members and bigwigs in the banking industry, they still pay attention to Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. At the headquarters of the Global Shipping Group, Bao Yugang and his son-in-law Wu Guang are looking at the newspaper and chatting about what is happening at this time. Wu Guangzheng saw the inexplicable smile on his father-in-law¡¯s face and moved in his heart. He asked: "Dad, did you find something?" Bao Yugang smiled, but did not answer, but instead asked: "You have seen the current situation. , Do you have any ideas?" Wu Guangzheng was lost in thought, and said uncertainly: "It would be an accident if a single bank had an accident, but at the same time the two banks had a thunderstorm and both misappropriated funds on gold futures. I think Someone must be manipulating it behind this." "And the public opinion is coming too fast, it''s not like a normal process of public opinion fermentation." "But who did it, and what purpose, I can''t guess." Bao Yu Just smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "What you said is correct, there must be someone manipulating it. I''m sure there are many people in Xiangjiang who have noticed it." "It is the momentum of the thunder. Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are very It¡¯s hard to escape, unless HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of China, Hang Seng Bank, etc. put out large sums of money to tide over the difficulties of the two major banks." "But the time for the explosion is too short, except for the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers, everyone I don¡¯t know the real situation of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and now I don¡¯t know who moved the hand, so even if some people want to reach out, they hesitate in the unknown." "But things have already happened." Exposure, as time goes by, will always become clear. If there are opportunities to take advantage of that time, there will always be someone who can''t help but start." "The key lies in whether the two banks have the value of being attacked by someone, and the value It¡¯s not worth offending those who do it now." Wu Guangzheng nodded suddenly, seeing the clear smile on his father-in-law¡¯s face, he couldn¡¯t help but ask: "Then Dad, do you know who did it?" Bao Yugang''s eyes were surprised. With a faint smile, a figure appeared in his mind, but his mouth said: "It is not yet certain, but there is a guess. Look again, if it is him, I believe that the result will be soon." Wu Guangzheng was taken aback and watched. When his father-in-law didn''t say anything, he stopped asking more. Although Bao Yugang said so, he was still basically sure that Xia Yu did it in his heart. It is true that Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are both unlucky on gold futures. The words "gold futures" are so eye-catching that Xia Yu appeared in Bao Yugang''s mind for the first time. Now his 220 million US dollars are still with Xia Yu, and he is speculating in gold futures. If there is anyone in Xiangjiang who has such a keen business sense and has such a large amount of capital, and has this need to calculate the two major banks, in his opinion, it is Xia Yu. Looking at the current trend of public opinion, it is indeed like Xia Yu''s handwriting. Few people besides him can do this. Of course, the possibility of others is not ruled out. However, Bao Yugang was very familiar with Xia Yu''s year-end friendship, and believed that Xia Yu was responsible for the eighth level. Now the Zhuang brothers and the Liu brothers have not asked him to borrow money, but Bao Yugang has decided in his heart that even if the two brothers come, he will not borrow a penny, lest he might break Xia Yu''s plan. ... On this day, the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers are running into trouble everywhere, no one dares to lend them money, and no one wants to lend them money. Besides, it is at this critical period and such a large amount is involved. Even if a big bank intends to lend money to Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, they must understand the situation of the two major banks before they can decide how much money to borrow. . To figure out the situation, even if the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers opened the bank accounts for people to check, it would take a lot of time. "Akun, how''s it going?" Zhuang Qingquan asked quickly when Zhuang Rongkun came back from outside with a gloomy expression. If they couldn''t borrow the money, the two of them used the purpose of recovering the loan. Even if they paid liquidated damages and lost the interest, they had to recover the money to deal with the current affairs. And Zhuang Rongkun was looking for the Jiuding Real Estate Group, which had loaned 500 million Hong Kong dollars a few months ago. It is precisely because Zhuang Rongkun went to other banks to lend money to Jiuding Real Estate Group in the first place, and it also emptied Hang Lung Bank''s liquid funds. After a large number of customers purchased gold futures, they would temporarily embezzle these funds. But the past has passed, and it was himself who decided to lend at the beginning, and Jiuding Real Estate Group cannot be blamed. But now in the crisis, Zhuang Rongkun thought of recovering the 500 million Hong Kong dollars loaned to Jiuding Real Estate Group. If the 500 million were recovered, the run would be suppressed in minutes. As for recovering loans from other companies, it is more difficult. One is insufficient funds, and the second is too time-consuming. But now seeing Zhuang Rongkun''s expression, it seems to be returning empty-handed. Zhuang Rongkun sat down, poured a cup of tea on his own, poured it down suddenly, and slapped the cup heavily on the table. "Liu Shihao refused to repay the loan now. The loan we issued has not depreciated. Jiuding Property Group has not violated the contract. We have no right to forcibly recover the loan." "I''m going to say that, even if he only asked him to pay back 480 million Hong Kong dollars, he refused. "Zhuang Rongkun said angrily, annoyed that this excellent road to survival was blocked. "Brother, how much money do you have in the bank now?" Zhuang Rongkun asked his brother Zhuang Qingquan. Zhuang Qingquan immediately said: "I just asked, there are still about 32 million, and now it is estimated to be one million less." "This is because I let all employees deliberately slow down, otherwise the 70 million funds will definitely Can''t make it until tomorrow morning." "But it depends on the situation now!" Speaking of this, Zhuang Qingquan''s face was gloomy. Zhuang Rongkun was silent immediately. He didn''t sleep well last night and didn''t sleep at noon. His eyes were red at this time, his brain was chaotic, and various emotions in his heart were entangled. There was anger, loss, powerlessness, and so on. foot. The thoughts were not smooth, and the fire in his heart, Zhuang Rongkun picked up the cup on the table and fell heavily to the ground. "Pop!" Zhuang Rongkun''s sudden action shocked Zhuang Qingquan, but seeing the appearance of his younger brother, he sighed and fell silent. "Akun, it seems that we are doomed to escape." Zhuang Qingquan said quietly for a long time. "I''m not reconciled!" Zhuang Rongkun roared, his fists clenched and his face violent. He came to Xiangjiang from the Philippines to work hard. In the past three years, Hang Lung Bank has developed very well, but now he is on the verge of bankruptcy. Will be willing? Zhuang Qingquan shook his head and sighed inwardly, and said: "What can we do if we are not reconciled? Over the past few decades, have we encountered few unwilling things? In the end, this is not the case." "But not until the end. You can''t give up for a moment, and the family''s foundation cannot be dragged down. Then continue to borrow money and continue to collect loans. If someone asks a bank, sell it at a low price. If you still have no money in the end, stop business and declare bankruptcy. ." Zhuang Rongkun said angrily: "Who else would borrow money? One by one, as for the recovery of the loan? Seeing that we are in crisis, which company has exchanged the loan to us? They are afraid that we will go bankrupt. , And then give the money to the black or think of it for nothing, a bunch of bastards!" "Keep on dragging it, there is no way to drag it until the end, you can only declare bankruptcy." "Heh, I guess there must be someone waiting for us to go bankrupt. , And then come to share with us."...They say that the house leaks and the night rains. That afternoon, Ka Wah Bank took the lead in the bottom of the fund and announced the cessation of withdrawals. The users waiting for the withdrawal suddenly exploded. There are disturbances everywhere in He Sub-branch, and it is inevitable to do radical things under the enthusiasm of the community. Fortunately, the Xiangjiang Police Station has been prepared for it, even if the police are dispatched to maintain order. As soon as Ka Wah Bank announced that it would stop withdrawing funds, Hang Lung Bank¡¯s depositors were irritated and immediately rushed to withdraw the funds. The depositors who had been procrastinated by the staff were directly scolded, and the counter staff had to cry and speed up. As a result, around 5:00 pm, Hang Lung Bank¡¯s funds also bottomed out, and it also announced that it would stop withdrawing funds. Depositors who had not yet received the money also bombed their nests. The Hong Kong government has been paying attention to this matter, but the Hong Kong government did not expect it to develop so fast that Ka Wah Bank and Hang Lung Bank stopped withdrawing funds in one day. Many depositors who could not get money from the bank came to the door of the Hong Kong government collectively and asked the Hong Kong government to intervene to seek justice for them. UU Read www. uuk¨¢nshu.com gets back hard-earned money. Therefore, MacLehose immediately convened a meeting, and at the same time let the Financial Secretary Xia Dingji personally take the lead and lead the staff of the Financial Bureau to intervene in the investigation of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. For a while, the entire traffickers and pawns under the Xiangjiang River, as well as many big bosses, all focused on this. Of course, many small banks have no time to take care of them at this time. Because of the unexpected situation of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, people''s confidence in the banks has plummeted. A large number of people came to withdraw money with their passbooks. The liquidity of several small banks fell below the level. The safety line made the bank president and shareholders behind the scenes jump. Many small banks with insufficient safe liquidity immediately tried their best to raise money secretly. Although the same is the banking industry, the strength of each bank is different, and the performance in the face of the crisis is also different. For example, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank immediately seized the opportunity to absorb deposits, hoping to absorb the money raised by the majority of depositors from various small and medium-sized banks. Jiuding Bank is no exception. Liu Tianci directly went to Global TV and invited many authoritative third-party representatives to prove that he announced some of his own data, such as cash flow exceeding one billion. Taking this opportunity, Liu Tianci even shouted that Jiuding Bank is the bank with the highest interest rate and the safest in Hong Kong. He tried his best to absorb deposits and announced that it would extend its business hours to 10 pm during this period. Not to mention, despite many big banks grabbing users, after Jiuding Bank exposed one billion cash flow, Jiuding Bank''s reputation skyrocketed, and some citizens who were uneasy at home after withdrawing money went straight to Jiuding Bank. Of course, there are no shortage of people going to HSBC and Standard Chartered. Xia Yu knew about it and didn¡¯t care. Now this time they have created an artificial opportunity. Although Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are the most unlucky, other small and medium-sized banks have also been affected. Inside, they all seize the opportunity to harvest tacitly. v2 Chapter 578: Predators grab a big meal The intervention of the Hong Kong government has caused a great shock to the banking industry of Hong Kong. First, Hang Lung Galaxy and Ka Wah Bank were forcibly taken over by the Hong Kong government, and the Chuang brothers and Liu brothers were restricted from leaving the country. The Financial Bureau intervened in the two banks and began to check their accounts. Only after the Financial Bureau finds out that the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers are not suspected of financial fraud or transfer of assets and other illegal activities can they restore their personal freedom. Although the Hong Kong government took over the two banks, the run on the two banks has spread to all small and medium-sized banks in Hong Kong. Many older citizens have the run on the run more than ten years ago. Since 1961, Liao Chong Hing Bank began to have a run on the bank, and its subsequent impact has always existed. In 1965 and 1967, a large-scale run on the bank broke out. It can be said that the 1960s was a dark period for Heung Kong''s banking industry. There were many failed banks. Many savers lost their money. The run-ups caused by Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are no smaller than in the past. Many older citizens explained to younger citizens about the run-off that occurred more than ten years ago, which caused panic among the entire Xiangjiang people, and more and more people went to various small and medium banks to withdraw money. Seeing this situation, MacLehose successively urged Xia Dingji to speed up the investigation of the foundations of the two major banks. Unexpectedly, it hadn''t been found out yet, and suddenly it broke out that Xie Liyuan''s gold shop had run out of funds. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is a well-known big gold shop in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1867 and is a century-old store. In the past few years, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop launched the "Thousand Pure Gold Accumulation Plan" to start the trading of gold futures. The public can open gold accounts and buy and sell gold at the same day gold price set by Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. Because Xie Liyuan Gold Shop itself operates gold, the gold futures purchased by the public can be directly exchanged for real gold, giving the public a strong confidence in Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, so it became popular in Xiangjiang once it was launched. It¡¯s just that after launching the paper gold business, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop will diligently buy gold in the international market. However, over time, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has become slack, management is out of balance, and funds are misappropriated, resulting in Xie Liyuan Gold Shop¡¯s own failure. Large-scale gold reserves. Coupled with the sudden rise in international gold prices, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop also suffered serious losses. But fortunately, it concealed it properly, and the citizens did not discover the problem. It is a pity that Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank exploded in the gold futures business, which caused a run, and the gold futures order was unable to accept it. Many citizens immediately thought of the paper gold in their hands and hurried to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop to accept it. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop does not have a large-scale gold reserve, and there is little liquidity. In the face of customers waving paper gold bills, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop¡¯s funds directly bottomed out, and they had no choice but to close the door and refuse to pay. Following Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, another gold shop was on the verge of bankruptcy. The already fragile nerves of the citizens were once again tightened. More people were rushing to withdraw money from banks where deposits were made. The heads of the banks couldn''t help but swear. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. The number of victims coming to the Hong Kong government to petition increased again, and MacLehose was furious, and once again recruited people from the tax department, and at the same time conducted a regulatory investigation on the Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. As a result, on the fourth day, that is, on March 17, the smallest Xie Liyuan gold store directly announced its closure, and the century-old enterprise collapsed. At the Jiuding Bank Building in Central, Xia Yu and Liu Tianci looked at the crowded lobby of the bank, and both smiled with satisfaction. Other small and medium-sized banks are worried about the crowds in their business halls, because all they go to withdraw money. But Jiuding Bank does not want more people to come, because except for a few people, most people come to make deposits. At this critical time for the banking industry, Jiuding Bank, backed by Jiuding Culture Media Group, has a huge advantage in public opinion. After repeated publicity, the public has great confidence in Jiuding Bank. Although Jiuding Bank is a new large bank, who makes Jiuding Bank strong in capital, so it can rise against the market and absorb reserves on a large scale. "Chairman, I didn''t expect to wait for the news of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. On the contrary, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, which he did not follow, went bankrupt." Liu Tianci sighed, with an inexplicable smile on his face. At that time, he was surprised when he learned that Xie Liyuan gold shop had a problem, but he did not feel sympathy. Although Xie Liyuan gold shop has been affected, but if it does not cause problems. , It will not go bankrupt. I can only say that it is self-inflicted! Xia Yu smiled and said in a calm tone: "Xie Liyuan''s gold store closed down because he deserves it. I can''t blame others. If you don''t explode now, you will also explode later, and you will die sooner or later." "Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank can''t handle it anymore. They will declare bankruptcy in at most two days. At that time, the Hong Kong government will choose to find other banks to take over. HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank will not let go of dead rabbits. of." Liu Tianci nodded and replied: "Don''t worry, our bank is a large creditor of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. Even if HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank use the relationship, our bank has a great chance of winning." "Well, you just have to grasp it!" Xia Yu said with a smile and nodded. ... At the HSBC Building, Shen Bi put down the newspaper in his hand and listened carefully to the report by Tom Yasuo, manager of the M&A department. "Chairman, I have already inquired clearly. Hang Lung Bank misappropriated customers'' funds to purchase gold futures and caused a loss of 320 million Hong Kong dollars. The Financial Bureau is still calculating other accounts." "K. Wah Bank has a smaller loss, but it also lost 220 million Hong Kong dollars in its gold business." "According to our analysis, the probability of bankruptcy of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank has reached 95%." ¡°Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank have acquisition value. Hang Lung Bank¡¯s net assets are between 280 million and 350 million, and the total assets are about 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. K. Wah Bank¡¯s net assets are between 200 million and 250 million. Above 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars." "If HSBC buys shares in the two banks, after the capital injection, the two banks will be able to tide over the difficulties. As long as we operate properly, we can cover the losses in about three to four years." After hearing this, Shen Bi thought for a moment, and said to Tom Yasuo: "You are ready to wait until Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank go bankrupt to contact the Hong Kong government as soon as possible. It is best to take over." "Yes!" Tom Yasuo replied, then turned and left. In 1965, the Hang Seng Bank, one of the largest Chinese banks at the time, was hit by the run-on storm. At that time, it hadn''t gone bankrupt. He Shanheng, then chairman, borrowed money to prepare for an emergency. However, He Shanheng''s wealthy businessmen and banks who had a good relationship did not lend a hand. He had no choice but to ask the foreign bank for help and to HSBC. As a result, HSBC agreed to help Hang Seng Bank with unlimited funds to help it tide over the difficulties. However, HSBC¡¯s condition was to eat up Hang Seng Bank and purchase a 51% stake in Hang Seng Bank. He Shanheng only agreed to a 35% stake. Unfortunately, in the end, in order to avoid Hang Seng Bank¡¯s failure to survive the bankruptcy, He and the Hang Seng Board of Directors had no choice but to accept it. HSBC''s conditions. To this day, HSBC still holds a 51% stake in Hang Seng Bank, and a large Chinese bank has become a **** of HSBC. This time the situation is different from before. Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are the source of the run, and it is too late for HSBC to help. But this time the opportunity is even greater. What Shen Bi wants more is to eat all of the two banks. As long as the two banks declare bankruptcy and liquidation, with HSBC''s ability, they can take over the two banks without spending a penny, and the cost is only to bear the debts of the two banks. With the strength and power of HSBC, Shen Bi is confident that as long as he takes over the two banks, he will be able to survive the run safely, and then spend a few years to operate, so that the profits made by Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank can make up for the losses. For one thing, it is equivalent to HSBC picking up two banks for nothing, at the cost of very low debt and a few years of in vain operation. If the market is good, you might make a profit in two years or even a year. This is much more cost-effective than buying a stake in Hang Seng Bank in 1965, and it is not just a 51% stake, but it can be swallowed all. Bank bankruptcy means that the bank''s net assets are lower than the loss, not the bank''s total assets. Generally, the net assets of banks are lower than the total assets of banks and it is for this reason that banks have such high returns. So even if Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank go bankrupt, in fact both banks still have two or three billion Hong Kong dollars in assets. These assets do not belong to the bank in essence, but are managed by the bank. The mortgaged real estate, the loans released, Bonds and so on. If you can take over these two banks at zero cost, or at the expense of low debts going northward, it is equivalent to directly bringing in five or six billion in deposits and business volume. Where can you find such a big cake? Of course, not everyone has the ability to bring them back to life after taking over the two banks. There are not many in Xiangjiang who have this ability. Standard Chartered Bank counts one, Jiuding Bank counts one, Swire Consortium counts one, and Bank of China counts one. Of course, the branches of major British and American banks in Hong Kong also have this strength and qualification. The helms of these banks and forces are not good stubborns, and their ideas are similar to those of Shen Bi. Then it will be up to whoever has the highest means to eat the meat in his mouth! All predators sharpened their teeth, waiting for the bankruptcy of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. Soon, two days passed, and in a blink of an eye it was March 19. The Hong Kong government finally checked the situation of the two banks clearly, and it is no surprise that both banks are insolvent. Among them, after the net assets of Hang Lung Bank offset the losses, the net assets were negative 23 million Hong Kong dollars. After the net assets of Ka Wah Bank offset the losses, the net assets were minus 16 million Hong Kong dollars. Two banks went bankrupt at the same time! The Hong Kong government held a press conference to allow depositors to wait patiently, and will give all relevant depositors an explanation. And all the crocodiles, who had been waiting for a long time, were dispatched in an instant! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 579: End The Hong Kong government determined that Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank were bankrupt, and quickly entered the liquidation stage in order to give the public an explanation as soon as possible. At this point, in fact the two banks have nothing to do with the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers. The time before the Hong Kong government intervened was actually the time for them to save themselves, but since they were unable to save themselves, no wonder the Hong Kong government took over. After all, Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank are already insolvent, and the interests of shareholders belonging to the two major banks have all been lost. The remaining assets belong to depositors, and have nothing to do with the Chuang and Liu brothers. Fortunately, the Chuang brothers and Liu brothers were investigated by the Hong Kong government and found no illegal operations, so their freedom of life was restored. Seeing that the matter has reached the point of irreversibility, Zhuang Qingquan went straight to see and did not bother, and left Xiangjiang to fly to the Philippines to take care of his own Apollo Steel Company, leaving only the unwilling Zhuang Rongkun still staying in Xiangjiang. I want to see the ultimate fate of Hang Lung Bank with my own eyes. Because MacLehose had already decided to go north on March 24, he was worried that he urged the Financial Secretary Xia Dingji to quickly handle the Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and calm the public opinion in Xiangjiang, so that Xiangjiang''s financial market would restore order. At the same time, this is also a request from the United Kingdom. After all, the trip to the north represents the face of the British government. Under the rule of the British government, Xiangjiang is so chaotic and unstable. Isn''t this slapped in the face? It also gives the mainland a handle. If the Hong Kong government can quickly calm the turmoil, it will highlight its governance capabilities. When the time comes north, the mainland will really make a fuss about this, and MacLehose will be able to go back. Therefore, in order to complete this political task as soon as possible, the Hong Kong government directly released information during the liquidation stage to allow someone to take over the two banks conditionally. The banking giants such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Seng Bank, and Heung Kong Bank of China, which had been waiting for a long time, stepped out immediately and contacted the Hong Kong government. Not to mention Jiuding Bank, the instigator behind the scenes, also applied to the Hong Kong government to take over immediately. In order to quell the run, faced with many giants who want to take over Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, after Xia Dingji asked MacLehose for instructions, he chose to directly hold a symposium to clarify the Hong Kong government''s conditions to all parties who intend to take over. Later, the parties will compete again. Soon, Liu Tianci, who represented Jiuding Bank, received news and invitations from the Hong Kong government. Liu Tianci immediately reported the situation to Xia Yu. "Chairman, will you or I go to the meeting of the Hong Kong government? I heard that Chairman Shen Bi of HSBC, Gals Liddell of Standard Chartered Bank, and President Ma of Bank of China Xiangjiang will all come forward." After the report, Liu Tianci asked that his underlying meaning was obvious, whether he would be unqualified and inappropriate. Xia Yu thought for a while, and said to Liu Tianci, "I won''t go, but you should go. Anyway, you can bring back both banks." Liu Tianci nodded heavily: "Bring it back!" Although each opponent is stronger than Jiuding Bank, Liu Tianci is not worried about losing his hand. The layout has been for several months, and now it¡¯s finally time to pick delicious fruits. If someone else snatches it, should he still be mixed up? This time, whether HSBC or Standard Chartered, they are all supporting actors! It was the afternoon in a blink of an eye. After work, Liu Tianci drove to the Hong Kong government. He was the first to be there, and people came one after another. Before the meeting started, everyone was there. The visitors were Shen Bi of HSBC, Gals Liddell of Standard Chartered Bank, Ma Jianming of Bank of China Xiangjiang, He Shanheng, Chairman of Hang Seng Bank, and Liu Tianci himself. Although Morgan Bank and Citibank in the United States have sufficient strength, they did not participate. As for the Bank of East Asia, another major bank in Hong Kong, it did not participate. After all, although the Bank of East Asia is a large bank, it is definitely the bottom of the large banks. It is not far stronger than Hang Lung Bank. Li Guobao knows himself and does not intend to get involved with the two banks. Among the five, Liu Tianci is very familiar with Shen Bi. Seeing the energetic Liu Tianci, Shen Bi was momentarily absent-minded. This talent who was once optimistic about himself is now qualified to sit at the same table with him. The world is fickle! "Good afternoon Shen Dong!" Liu Tianci smiled and greeted Shen Bi with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude. Although he was facing a boss who once valued him, but now he has a different position. He still has to take care of the faces of Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu. Therefore, his attitude towards Shen Bi is no respect. humble. What''s more, this afternoon, he and Shen Bi are rivals. After that, everyone said hello to each other. At this time, MacLehose walked in with Xia Dingji and several subordinates. "Sorry, there happens to be something that keeps everyone waiting for a long time." With that, MacLehose shook hands with everyone. After some greetings, everyone took their seats one after another. MacLehose looked at them and said sincerely: "This meeting today concerns everyone in the Hong Kong financial industry and the general public. When you come, I believe everyone I have seen the crowds gathering outside the Hong Kong government." Everyone nodded. This is indeed the case. When they came in by car, they saw a lot of people gathered near the Hong Kong government. Many people held signs and banners, demanding that the Hong Kong government resolve the issue of Hang Lung Bank, Ka Wah Bank and Xie Liyuan Gold Shop as soon as possible. Return their hard-earned money to them. "Since everyone is clear, then we know that the current situation is very severe. I hope there will be a clear result this afternoon." "Prior to this, Director Xia will tell you about Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank. Of course, you will also get detailed information." After talking about this, MacLehose stopped to say more, and signaled to the Financial Secretary Xia Dingji to introduce and Xia Dingji took a look at the employee. The employee immediately distributed two copies to Liu Tianci, Shen Bi and others. file. "Look at them. These two documents are about the real situation of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank investigated by the Hong Kong government. Please take a closer look. If you are unclear, you can ask me. If I can answer, I will answer immediately." Xia Dingji said solemnly. Everyone just nodded their heads and didn''t respond. They focused their energy on looking at the information. Only when they knew what they wanted, would they know what to expect. For a moment, only the sound of gasping and the rubbing of papers were left in the meeting room. Different from the general data obtained by HSBC in the previous two days, these two materials list the details of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, what business they have, and what value they have. Hang Lung Bank includes the bank building, its own properties, and other assets. The total net assets are 317 million, and the total assets are 3.684 million. A total loss of 340 million, including gold futures business, is now net. Assets are negative 23 million Hong Kong dollars. Ka Wah Bank¡¯s net assets are 218 million Hong Kong dollars, total assets are 2.743 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the total loss including gold futures business is 234 million Hong Kong dollars. Today, Ka Wah Bank¡¯s net assets are negative 16 million Hong Kong dollars. Because the time is too short, the data is not very accurate, but it doesn''t make much difference. For those sitting here, they don''t care about this, and after the calculation is clear, any objections can be raised to the Hong Kong government. In a short while, the five of them finished watching, each observing the other competitors calmly, thinking about how to respond in a while. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 580: Swallow 2 banks Xia Dingji has been observing the expressions of everyone, and seeing that everyone has finished reading, he said: "Everyone has finished reading, do you have anything to ask?" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Shen Bi even said aloud: "Director Xia, please tell us the requirements of the Hong Kong government first." Xia Dingji smiled kindly and looked at MacLehose again. Seeing the latter nod to him, he straightened up and said, "The requirements of the Hong Kong government are very simple. After taking over one or two banks, the bank must be restored. Business, to ensure that citizens can withdraw money, and do their best to calm the run, if other banks ask you for help, you must borrow money to help them survive, so as not to trigger another crisis." As soon as the words came out, no one sitting could help but frowned. Before they came, they had pre-judged the requirements of the Hong Kong government, allowing Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank to resume operations and guaranteeing that citizens withdraw funds. But I didn''t guess that we should try our best to quell the run and help other banks that may be in danger. The latter part is more difficult, because the unpredictability is too great. No one knows which banks in Hong Kong have tight capital chains. According to the requirements of the Hong Kong government, those banks are obliged to help them tide over the difficulties, and the capital required will be large. If there is a problem There are too many banks, it is hard to guarantee that they will not drag themselves down. However, HSBC and the next-tier Standard Chartered Bank, with the most capital, are not afraid of this. Therefore Shen Bi and Gals Liddell agreed. "HSBC agrees to the request." "Standard Chartered Bank also agreed to the request." He Shanheng of Hang Seng Bank and Ma Jianmin of Heung Kong Bank of China were hesitant. The capital of the two banks is relatively weak. If they take over the two banks or one of them, they will immediately face large-scale withdrawal requests from customers. When that time, the flow of funds will flow quickly, and they will have to deal with gold futures. If they take over two banks at the same time, they will need to spend at least 800 million Hong Kong dollars in emergency. In addition, it is necessary to quell the crowd as soon as possible, otherwise other banks will follow in the footsteps of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and they will have to spend more money. It is possible to start with a billion. Such a huge cash flow puts too much pressure on Hang Seng Bank and Heung Kong Bank of China. Seeing MacLehose and Xia Dingji looking over, Liu Tianci smiled faintly and confidently said, "Jiuding Bank also agreed to the request." Hearing that Jiuding Bank of the later generation also agreed, He Shanheng was more stressed, and he subconsciously looked at Shen Bi. Seeing Shen Bi nodded slightly at him, he had a bottom in his heart and replied: "Hang Seng Bank also agreed to the request." The four people agreed one after another, and the pressure fell on Ma Jianmin. Several people looked at him with smiles, wishing Ma Jianmin to give up. At this time, Xiangjiang Bank of China was not strong. Although it was one of the largest banks in Xiangjiang, its money was not easy to use. Xiangjiang Bank of China was not the second largest bank in Xiangjiang at this time. The mainland just decided to reform and open up at this time, and the mainland''s economy has not yet developed. Therefore, the trend of Hong Kong businessmen''s remittance through the Hong Kong Bank of China has not yet appeared. Under pressure, Ma Jianmin gave up the idea of ??taking down two banks at the same time and replied: "The Bank of China also agrees to the request." If there are no two, then one bank will be taken, and then the other bank will belong to someone else, so that the pressure will be shared by others, and the risk will be reduced a lot. "Well, since everyone has agreed to the request, the next step is to determine the ownership of the two banks." "The Hong Kong government does not need your money, it just needs to solve the problem faster and better, so you need to present your ideas and advantages." Xia Dingji said solemnly. "HSBC has enough cash to take over the two banks at the same time and assume the debts of the two banks. With HSBC''s creditworthiness, the two banks can easily weather the run." Shen Bi glanced past Xia Dingji, looked directly at the silent MacLehose, and said calmly. MacLehose nodded slightly in recognition. Seeing that Shen Bi¡¯s appetite was so great and he wanted to take it alone, Gals Liddell frowned slightly, not to be outdone: "The cash flow of Standard Chartered Bank is not bad. After taking over the two banks, it will immediately transfer the gold futures of the two banks. All businesses are delivered, eliminating the run from the source." After listening, MacLehose nodded slightly, approving Gals Liddell''s attitude. At this moment, Liu Tianci didn¡¯t want to wait anymore. When he saw He Shanheng want to speak, he immediately said: "Your Excellency Governor, Director Xia, Jiuding Bank has prepared 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash and has enough capital to take over Hang Lung Bank. And Ka Wah Bank." Hearing the exact figure of 2 billion, everyone looked at it, and they didn''t expect Jiuding Bank to have such strength. Liu Tianci did not change his face and continued without pause: "I can let Jiuding Newspaper Company maintain the order of public opinion in Xiangjiang and do my best to calm the panic of the citizens. This is our unique advantage." "And these days, Jiuding Bank has been secretly trying to quell the run, and it has acquired the 100 million Hong Kong dollar gold futures contract purchased by the public from Hang Lung Bank and the 70 million Hong Kong dollar gold futures contract purchased by the public from Ka Wah Bank. It is a major creditor of the two banks. According to the company''s bankruptcy law, Jiuding Bank has the priority to be paid." "As long as I take over the two banks, I can now commit to everyone outside the Hong Kong government to fully cooperate with customers in the delivery of gold futures contracts and withdrawal requirements." After speaking, Liu Tianci looked at MacLehose with a slight change in his attitude sincerely, and his eyes calmly responded to MacLehose''s scrutiny gaze. As for Shen Bi, Gals Liddell and others, they changed their faces and looked at Liu Tianci with strange eyes. They were all stimulated by Liu Tianci''s words. Jiuding Bank actually had a large gold futures contract with Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and it was the major creditor of the two banks. It can be said that it was one of the victims of this run. Of course, with their ingenuity, they did not believe Liu Tianci''s remarks, and even they extremely suspected that the gold futures contract in Jiuding Bank''s hands was not acquired, but the run was caused by Jiuding Bank. At this moment, in their hearts, Jiuding Bank can almost equate with the black hands behind the scenes. Ma Jianmin of Xiangjiang Bank of China looked straight at Liu Tianci, his expression changed, and finally he sighed in his heart and directly chose to give up. In his thoughts, if Jiuding Bank really did it and tried every means to swallow two banks, then if he snatched one or two, he would have offended Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu behind it. This is completely unnecessary for Xiangjiang Bank of China. Sitting in his position, many times he cannot only consider economic issues, but more political issues. This offends Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu behind him, which is very detrimental to him. He Shanheng, who sits next to Ma Jianmin, is also an old-fashioned person. He has thought about it for a long time and kept his mouth shut. His attitude is very obvious. For a while, the meeting room became very quiet, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere. ... With Jiuding Bank holding the trump card, MacLehose had to tilt the balance to Jiuding Bank in his heart. Although he also very much doubted whether Jiuding Bank was planning this matter behind the scenes, the bankruptcy of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank has been investigated clearly. It is that the Chuang brothers and the Liu brothers embezzled client funds and told them on the open. Jiuding Bank has nothing to do. Moreover, the matter has already happened, and it is useless to continue to pursue it. What MacLehose needs is to calm the squeeze storm as quickly as possible. Although Shen Bi and Gals Liddell once again increased their commitments, they still can''t match the advantages of Jiuding Bank. Although Jiuding Bank''s capital is not as good as HSBC, it is sufficient to deal with the crisis. Jiuding Bank can also allow Jiuding Newspaper Company to come forward and give the Hong Kong government the greatest support from public opinion. This is an extremely effective advantage. The most important thing is undoubtedly the gold futures contract held by Jiuding Bank. As long as Jiuding Bank takes over the two banks, the total loss of the two banks will be internally digested 170 million. This advantage is too great. Not to mention that Jiuding Bank is still the biggest victim and the advantage of the biggest creditor. Therefore, this discussion meeting ended quickly. MacLehose approved Jiuding Bank to take over the two banks at the same time, and signed a takeover agreement on the spot at a price of one Hong Kong dollar! Although this result made Shen Bi and others dumbfounded, they also seemed very free and easy to guess. After sending congratulations to Liu Tianci, they left the scene one by one. Afterwards, the Hong Kong government held a press conference. The moment Liu Tianci took the stage, there was a moment of silence on the scene. When MacLehose announced that Jiuding Bank would take over Hang Lung Bank, Ka Wah Bank, and Jiuding Bank''s obligations at a price of one Hong Kong dollar, the audience was in an uproar. Thanks to the full live broadcast of Global TV, the news quickly blew throughout the Xiangjiang River like a tornado. The two deputy managers of Jiuding Bank, who had been prepared for a long time, went to Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank for the first time, and each entered 500 million Hong Kong dollars into the accounts of the two major banks. The Hong Kong government also sent police to protect the transportation of vehicles. The banknote car entered various business locations, and after sending the order, it opened again for business. On the same day, customers holding gold futures contracts went to the two major banks to seek delivery. Although there are still many depositors withdrawing money, they learned that Jiuding Bank took over and each contributed 500 million Hong Kong dollars and saw luck again. Many depositors calmed down the banknotes that were moved from the banknote car. Under the persuasion of the employees of the two banks, many depositors gave up their plans to withdraw money immediately. That evening, the "News 30 Minutes" column of Global Television reported this news emphatically, and strongly appealed to the public to feel at ease, preaching that the crowded storm was about to pass. By the next day, Jiuding Newspaper Company made efforts, and the public opinion of Xiangjiang completely changed. After reading the newspaper, the citizens suddenly found that the negative opinions of yesterday were completely gone, and all kinds of good news were replaced. For example, Jiuding Bank solemnly promises that depositors of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank who withdraw funds due to special reasons, as long as they deposit the money in Jiuding Bank, Hang Lung Bank or Ka Wah Bank again, they can renew the fixed deposit time and recover their losses. . If a customer has made a fixed deposit at Hang Lung Bank for three years, and the result is two and a half years, he can withdraw it. As long as he deposits it back to Hang Lung Bank, or he can deposit it in Jiuding Bank without worry, he can count the two and a half years of fixed deposit time again. , To recover the interest loss of two and a half years. This policy is too attractive for depositors who have made urgent withdrawals due to the rush crisis! After all, depositors who are willing to deposit deposits almost always do not have good investment channels and are greedy for bank interest. If it is not because they are worried about the loss of their principal, how can they give up interest to withdraw money? In the following few days, the rush crisis gradually disappeared, and many depositors took the money back to deposit again, and some uneasy citizens went straight to the major business locations of Jiuding Bank to deposit. The hot scene made Xiangjiang colleagues jealous. Seeing that the Xiangjiang financial market returned to calm and public opinion calmed down, MacLehose was finally able to go northward with peace of mind. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 581: Straight through the 0 billion mark In the second half of 1978, the British side began to prepare for diplomatic negotiations with the mainland on the future of Hong Kong¡¯s 1997. The mainland also officially invited MacLehose at a banquet by the Minister of Foreign Trade in December. Until now, McLehose has been acting on behalf of the British government to ask for directions and test the mainland''s attitude towards the Hong Kong issue. Therefore, MacLehose¡¯s northward journey was highly anticipated. Newspapers such as Ming Pao, ¡°Ta Kung Pao¡±, and ¡°Sing Pao¡± that are biased towards political fields first discussed MacLehose¡¯s northward journey in large pages. And because of the need to divert people¡¯s attention and eliminate the residual impact of the run as much as possible, major newspapers such as "Fengyun Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" under Jiuding News also analyzed the matter. The eyes of the general public in Xiangjiang were really attracted. When it comes to the return of Hong Kong and two social issues related to their property safety and rights, practitioners from all walks of life in Hong Kong are paying attention. Under such circumstances, Jiuding Bank has methodically rectified Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, sorting out assets and transferring property rights. Liu Tianci asked Xia Yu for instructions. After discussing it, he decided to merge the two banks into Jiuding Bank. After the complete absorption, it was the time when the brands of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank disappeared. Of course, considering the brand reputation of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank in Southeast Asia for decades, Jiuding Bank cannot digest it in a short time, so the two banks¡¯ brands are destined to exist in the next few years. However, according to the long-term plan, these two banks will eventually disappear. After taking over Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, Jiuding Bank''s total assets directly exceeded the 10 billion mark, reaching as much as 12.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is a big Hong Kong bank! And Jiuding Bank has also harvested a large number of bank employees with strong business capabilities, which doubled the total number of employees of Jiuding Bank. Zhuang Rongkun, who had been staying in Xiangjiang, saw Hang Lung Bank fall into the hands of Jiuding Bank, and finally left Xiangjiang until he left. He did not know why the two banks fell into the hands of Jiuding Bank. Those who have a guess are the people in the conference room. MacLehose and Xia Dingji could not talk about it, and Zhuang Rongkun could not ask. As for Shen Bi, Gals Liddell, He Shanheng and Ma Jianminshi, although they have guesses, they are not spread. After all, they have no evidence. There is no need to offend Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu for Zhuang Rongkun, an outside loser. . What''s more, even though they did not take any of the two banks, the four of them are all big banks. In this run, they are all beneficiaries. The only difference is that they have not benefited from the big bank of Jiuding Bank. That''s it. Perhaps as time goes by, news about this run will flow out, and various speculations and analyses will appear, but by then, I believe Jiuding Bank has also become a giant, and the Jiuding Consortium has also penetrated into all walks of life. , There is no fear of these past rumors. Amidst the disturbances, another shocking news came out. The Global Cinemas line was formally established, and a press conference was held at the Global Taiping Cinema, which was converted from Taiping Cinemas, inviting all Hong Kong media to participate. The news hit Shao Yifu and Wrinkle¡¯s forehead like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, and immediately sent the two of them to the Global Taiping Cinema to find first-hand news. At the press conference, Jiang Zhiqiang vigorously announced the establishment of the Global Cinemas Company and unabashedly demonstrated the strength of the Global Cinemas. Although in the past few months, there have been media speculations that the Hong Kong film industry and the theater industry will undergo major changes, but since no one has answered positively, the impact is not significant. However, Dangjiang Xieqiang said that the Global Cinemas has 20 theaters in Hong Kong, with a total of 16,850 seats and 189 screens. It is more powerful than Hong Kong¡¯s Jiahe Cinemas and Xiangjiang Shaw Cinemas, and it ranks first in Hong Kong. At that time, there was a moment of silence in the whole press conference, and then all the media went crazy, the lights flashed so that Jiang Xieqiang couldn''t open his eyes. "Mr. Jiang, is the big man behind the global cinema chain the stock **** Xia Yu?" "Mr. Jiang, is the establishment of the global cinema chain a long-term plan? Is the stock **** optimistic about the Hong Kong film industry?" "Mr. Jiang..." The reporters kept holding up their microphones and squeezing forward frantically. The Aegis security personnel at the venue tried their best to maintain order and asked the reporters to retreat beyond the cordon. Jiang Zhiqiang''s face was ruddy, and his hands were flat to signal everyone to calm down. "Come one by one, everyone keeps order." "Okay, it''s you!" Jiang Zhiqiang clicked on the reporter of the nearest "Hong Kong Economic Journal", and was surprised by the reporter who was in the spotlight. He immediately asked loudly, "Mr. Jiang, Global Cinemas and Global Television have the same name. May I ask the boss behind Global Cinemas? Is it the stock **** Xia Yu? Does the stock god''s aggressive entry into the theater industry mean that Xiangjiang''s film industry has a lot to do?" The reporter from the Hong Kong Economic Journal asked two questions greedily at once, and the second question was from the reporter from the Cheng Bao, who immediately made the latter angry at the present, but the reporter from the Hong Kong Economic Journal directly ignored it. Jiang Zhiqiang looked at him and said: "A person can only ask one question, but since you are lucky to be the first, I will answer your two questions." After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang raised his head and said loudly: "The Global Cinemas Company belongs to Jiuding Culture Media Group and Jiuding Newspaper Company and Universal Television are brother companies." "As for entering the film industry, there is no special significance, but simply entering from the perspective of enriching the group''s industrial chain, nothing more! I hope everyone will not over-interpret." "Wow..." Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang''s answer, the reporters present were even more excited. The global cinema chain really belongs to the stock god. A few days ago, Jiuding Bank, a stock god, had only annexed two old banks. The heat has not yet subsided. Now it has set foot in the cinema industry, and it is still strong and domineering to directly step on the original boss of the industry. The posture to be dry. "Mr. Jiang, although the global cinema circuit is the first in the Xiangjiang cinema circuit in terms of scale, it lacks sufficient film source support compared with the Shaw Cinemas and the Jiahe Cinemas. Do you have any confidence to break through? Is it secretly established? Is it a film company?" After Jiang Zhiqiang answered, the reporter of Cheng Pao immediately asked. "You have a good question!" Jiang Zhiqiang gave him an admiring look and said. "From the very beginning of its establishment, Universal Cinemas has set the purpose of contributing to the Hong Kong film industry." "A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring and a garden!" "Universal theaters are open and open to all film companies. Unlike some peers, who rely on theaters to conduct unfair competition, they would rather play boring movies than give good movies a chance to make their debut." Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang''s violent attack, the reporters present trembled with excitement. Of course, some reporters gradually realized that Jiang Zhiqiang seemed to expose a big news next, so despite the excitement, they all endured without asking and stared scorchingly. With Jiang Xieqiang. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 582: Domineering "As we all know, there are many filmmakers and film companies in Hong Kong who are passionate about movies. After shooting a movie, they suddenly lost confidence or couldn''t afford the cost of the package. As a result, they would rather lose the warehouse than get the movie. Online screening, it can be said with certainty that there are definitely many good movies buried in it." "Of course there are also some people who could have gotten ahead and missed opportunities because of this." "but!" "From today, everything will change!" Jiang Zhiqiang spoke loudly, his face was firm, and his eyes swept across everyone''s faces with determination. The reporters below all held their breath and looked at him with scorching eyes. At this moment, he seemed to radiate a layer of light, and he could only listen to him say arrogantly: "From today onwards, Global Cinemas will abolish the theater line package fee system and implement a box office sharing system. Any movie can be taken to the Universal Theater. For online screening, there is no need to pay one cent in advance." "If a movie is good or not, the right to judge is given to the audience. No matter how low the cost of the movie is or how unfamous the director is, Universal Cinemas takes care of everyone who has a movie dream and gives all movies a market-oriented opportunity. The risk will be borne by us!" "If the film being shown is welcomed by the market, the global cinema chain will vigorously promote it, and even 20 theaters will show it at all levels, giving all grassroots directors a chance to skyrocket!" "it is good!" "Sure enough, it''s big news, the film industry has changed!" "Snapshot Snapshot, big trouble for Daheng Shao and Tycoon Wrinkle is coming!" "No, it''s the big trouble for the entire theater industry. It really deserves to be the company of the stock god. It acts as aggressively as it always has. It just lifts the table as soon as it starts..." "Crack, click..." As Jiang Xieqiang finished speaking, all the reporters went crazy again, and the camera film was used as hard as it was for money. In the next hour, Jiang Zhiqiang patiently answered reporters¡¯ questions, and announced in the announcement that after the establishment of the Global Cinemas, the first film to apply the box office share system was directed by the renowned Kung Fu actor Chen Long. The self-acting Kung Fu movie "Laughing Boxing Strange Trick" will be screened at 20 theaters at the same time from 12 o''clock tonight. This "Laughing Fist Strange Trick" is a film in which Chen Long broke free from Rowe Pictures and started to fly solo. The Galaxy Film Company invested 50% of the shares. It was originally produced at the end of February and could be released, but in order to make a good start for the global theaters, It was delayed until now. This time almost all the media in Hong Kong were there, and Jiang Zhiqiang personally advertised, so tomorrow, the whole Hong Kong will definitely know the news of the release of "Laughing Fist". Chen Long, who quietly came to the press conference site, was very happy after hearing it. , Secretly complacent about the wise decision that he agreed to postpone the broadcast After the press conference, the spies sent by Shao Yifu rushed back and reported the situation in front of Shao Yifu. After listening to the report from his subordinates, Shao Yifu''s face turned gloomy, and his hands on the table kept trembling, which was a sign of shortness of breath. Fang Yihua, who knows Shao Yifu well, quickly appeased Shao Yifu: "One husband, don''t be angry, take a sip of tea slowly." Shao Yifu gave Yihua a strong smile, then waved his subordinates out, and then said angrily: "Can I not be angry? The Global Cinemas is smashing everyone''s plates. They offended all their colleagues. It''s a dead end!" "Yes, yes, I wish they went bankrupt and went bankrupt soon, this kind of scourge deserves death!" Fang Yihua said bitterly with the enemy. Shao Yifu was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Hey..." "It''s really troublesome. I guessed that Jiang Xieqiang was behind Xia Yu, so I resisted it. I didn''t expect it to be the right thing to resist, but the reality is too uncomfortable." Speaking of this, Shao Yifu thought about what happened in recent months, and his heart continued to accumulate depression. Lijia was going to gradually withdraw from TVB. Shao Yifu also planned to take over, and then focus on the TV industry. However, after the collapse of Jiashi, Universal Television would rise up against the sky at a stunned speed. In just a few months, Universal Television has already Fully suppressed TVB stations. And Shao Yifu has carefully analyzed it, and he doesn''t know where to break through. What he knows is that it is difficult for TVB to regain its position as the leader of the TV industry in a short period of time. This has severely affected his enthusiasm. Quietly dismissed the idea of ??giving up the film industry. Unexpectedly, the television field was overwhelmed by Universal Television, and Xia Yu''s hand reached into his other foundation-the film industry. In order to obtain the source of the film, Xia Yu, who is not short of money, chose to directly raise the table. The box office division system was released, and the Shaw movies The advantages accumulated over the past ten years are shattered. Shaw''s advantages are no longer, and capital can''t compare to them. Now, it''s not just the life and death crisis of Shaw''s movies! It is also the life and death crisis of his career! "It seems that I have to temporarily compromise with the second and fifth boy..." Shao Yifu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and made a decision in his heart. Letting him slap himself and choosing to unite with the traitor who is absolutely impossible to cooperate with Wrinkle Huai can only show that the global cinema chain, or Xia Yu behind it, put too much pressure on him. Shao Yifu was like this, Jiahe''s wrinkle was also shocked when he got the news, followed by panic. After discussing with her old partner He Guanchang, Wrinkle Huai chose to look at the situation of the global theaters first, but she was ready to temporarily unite with Shao Yifu in her heart. In the final analysis, his wrinkle breast is a big grass carp swimming in the small pond of the Xiangjiang film industry. Although others call him a wrinkle tycoon, his family knows his own affairs and he knows how far he is from the real gangster in Xiangjiang. Now that the big shark, the **** of stock, has directly rushed into the small pond of the film industry, no wonder Wrinkles is nervous. In addition to Wrinkle Huai and Shao Yifu, many practitioners in the Hong Kong film industry have also heard of the news. The bosses of some small and medium-sized film companies were surprised when they heard the news. They immediately consulted the Universal Cinemas Company to confirm, and then went through the boxes to find the movies at the bottom of the box and quickly rushed to the Universal Cinemas Company. Even Jiang Zhiqiang was prepared to but was shocked by a group of directors and bosses holding copies with red eyes, and then quickly asked people to distribute the details of the box office sharing system of the Global Cinemas to the visitors. Regulations. Several directors also raised objections when seeing that the Global Cinemas line would get 55% of the box office share, but Jiang Zhiqiang directly clarified the risks and costs, and those who objected decisively shut up. Even if you only give the Global Cinemas 55% of the box office, you still get 35%-37% of the box office after deducting the others. In fact, it will not be much less than the screening after paying the basic fee. What''s more, Jiang Zhiqiang is right. The Global Cinemas has taken huge risks and assumed the risks that belonged to them. It is understandable to get more profits. It is better than they rot the movie in the warehouse. Maybe it''s soaring into the sky? Therefore, after everyone agreed, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately arranged reviewers to review the film. As long as the review was passed, the Global Cinemas would sign an agreement with the film party, and then urgently arrange the screening according to the potential given by the reviewing department. On the second day, all major newspapers in Hong Kong, without exception, published news about the establishment of the global cinema chain on the front page, and the "Fengyun Daily" gave a super high evaluation of "creating a precedent in the era and leading a hundred flowers to bloom". That is, the second day, the name of the Global Cinemas reverberated through Xiangjiang, and it spread throughout Southeast Asia through the channels of Jiuding newspapers. I believe that film companies outside of Xiangjiang will definitely list the Global Cinemas as the news after seeing this news. Xiangjiang''s preferred partner. In the Lei family of Kowloon, Lei Juekun read the day¡¯s newspaper according to his habit while eating breakfast. When he saw the news about the establishment of a global cinema company in Fengyun Daily, he frowned and concentrated on reading it carefully. After reading, frowned in contemplation. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 583: Give Jiahe another lethal knife Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 583 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2684 words "Global Cinemas? After the young big guy has eaten the TV industry, now he is taking aim at the film industry?" "Shao Laoliu is really unlucky!" Lei Juekun''s mind appeared like Shao Yifu, and he couldn''t help but move Yu. . TVB is also in Kowloon. Over the years, Lei Juekun has some friendships with Shao Yifu, and naturally knows a lot about it. It can be said that except for wrinkles and stabbed Shao Yifu, Shao Laoliu has never been the only one to bully others. Unexpectedly, there is still a mountain high, Shao Laoliu confronted the rising stock **** Xia Yu in Kowloon and stopped cooking. Shao Laoliu''s suffocation can be imagined under the continual defeat. It''s just... "Hehe, I still care about Shao Laoliu, what should I do now?" Lei Juekun felt a little depressed thinking of the thoughts in his heart. Although the entertainment industry occupies a lot of exposure and resources in public opinion, in terms of market size, it is not enough to provide shoes for finance, real estate, shipping, and manufacturing. All the profits of the Hong Kong film industry in one year may not be comparable. The profit of a real estate company for a year, so the real boss of Xiangjiang simply disdains to enter the entertainment industry. Although there are always traditional industry tycoons or rich people who are keen on the entertainment circle, they are only for picking up girls and satisfying the quirks in their hearts. When chasing stars, they can spend money like dirt, but they are mostly playing tickets. Waiting for a few years to get tired. Now it¡¯s time to quit. Of course, the real super bosses don''t like the small money in the audio-visual entertainment industry, but the lower-level bosses are still very keen, such as the two poles of the Xiangjiang film industry today-Shao Yifu and Wrinkle. And he Lei Juekun was also thinking. The Kowloon Lei family is also a wealthy family in Hong Kong. The traditional industry of the family is the Kowloon Bus Company, which specializes in passenger bus business in the Kowloon area. After entering the 1970s, it even rushed into Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, merged and merged, and gradually became the entire Hong Kong. The monopoly leader in the bus industry successfully went public several years ago, and the Lei family finally owned a listed company. The bus industry is not difficult to operate. After all, it belongs to the public service industry. It is just that the Hong Kong government has relatively large restrictions. The Kowloon Bus Company is bound by regulations. Even if a fare increase is required, the Hong Kong government must approve it. But after all, it belongs to a monopoly industry. Even if the fare is very low, the annual revenue and profits of Kowloon Bus are considerable. Lei Juekun was very moisturized by lying down and collecting money without much effort. The money earned through the Kowloon Motor Bus Company was used by the Lei family to invest in the real estate industry, so in 1961, they established the Kowloon Construction Industry Co., Ltd. in partnership with the Wu Zhaocan family to operate in the real estate industry. Of course, the Lei family also operates four large theaters, namely Lisheng, Kaisheng, Lesheng and Jinhong Theaters, and the four large theaters form a Lisheng theater line. However, the Lisheng Theater was leased to Jiahe by Lei Juekun and became part of the Jiahe Theater. The four theaters are all large-scale. The Lisheng Theater is one of the few leading theaters in Hong Kong. the important part. In recent years, the film industry has seen a good market, and thanks to the films of Jiahe Pictures, the income of Lisheng Cinemas has increased. Lei Juekun is not satisfied. It just happens that he is relatively idle and has money in his hands, so he started to enter The mind of the film industry to grab food. Compared with the Shao family and Jiahe, his Lei family is undoubtedly rich in capital. In addition, the Lei family has four large theaters and has a certain foundation. If you start from the theater industry, you still have a great chance to succeed. Edible. Because of this kind of careful thinking, when Jiang Xieqiang came to him some time ago to buy the Lisheng Cinema, he refused. It''s just that now suddenly seeing the news of the Global Cinemas, Lei Juekun is hesitant. I fought fiercely in my heart, thinking about whether I should enter the film industry again. Although he was eager to covet the profits of the film industry, Lei Juekun was shocked when he thought of the global cinema chain and the people behind it. The Lei family is just a family that hovered in the Kowloon area. It is just like putting it on the entire Hong Kong Island. Although it is stronger than the Hong Kong Shaw and Wrinkle, it is not enough to put it in front of the real boss. What''s more, he is facing Xia Yu, who is now gradually known as the "King of Kowloon". Because he was in Kowloon with Xia Yu, Lei Juekun could feel the power of the stock **** Xia Yu. His Lei family is rich, and he can harden Shaw and Jiahe without fear, but now behind the global cinema chain is the stock **** of Xiangjiang. Thinking of the strength of the Jiuding consortium, Lei Juekun finds weakly that he absolutely cannot win. What''s more, Xia Yu is notoriously ruthless, domineering, and likes to eat alone. After entering an industry, he is rushing towards the top of the throne. You don''t have to think to know that next, the Xiangjiang film industry will ignite a raging war, and according to the past record of Xia Yu and his subsidiaries, 90% of this war will be won by Xia Yu. Does he need to get involved? "Furthermore, the Kowloon Bus has been listed. Even if I was lucky enough to temporarily win in the film industry, with Xia Yu''s power in the financial industry, he seized my lifeline and threatened me, what can I do?" Within hours, Lei Juekun found helplessly that as long as he entered the film industry, he would conflict with Xia Yu no matter what, and the odds of winning were small and pitiful. Even if he wins, he will lose. Not cost-effective! "Forget it, I won''t take this trip to the muddy waters. I will run the Kowloon bus and real estate company with peace of mind. Hey..." "Just cut off your thoughts. If you want to buy my theater, I will sell it. Energetic, by the way, I also set up an incense with the Jiuding Consortium." Lei Juekun''s face was certain, and his determination was made in his heart. He couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled, picked up the phone at the table, found the business card left by Jiang Zhiqiang, and dialed the number on the card. At this time Jiang Xieqiang was receiving the film company CEOs who came one after another. Suddenly his subordinates came to report that the phone in his office rang. The caller was Lei Juekun from Kowloon Bus Hear this, Jiang Xieqiang Immediately leaving the things in his hands, a thought flashed in his mind. Sure enough, after answering the phone, Lei Juekun said on the phone that he could talk about Lisheng Cinemas, and asked him when he would have time. Jiang Zhiqiang was overjoyed. For fear of long nights and dreams, he took good people to the Lei family in the morning. The negotiation for the acquisition was completed in a short time. Jiang Zhiqiang had already touched the four theaters of the Lisheng Cinema Line, so the bid was very accurate, and Lei Juekun really wanted to withdraw, so he sold it well by the way. Lang Youqing concubine intentionally signed the transfer contract that morning, very fast! All four large-scale theaters on the Lisheng Cinema Line are available! At this point, the global theater line will rise from 20 theaters to 24, and the number of large-scale theaters has increased from five to nine. The five leading theaters of Xiangjiang are the second largest theaters, namely Taiping Theater and Lisheng Theater. The most serious damage is at this time on the second Jiahe Cinemas of Xiangjiang River. Originally there were 19 theaters, but the leading theaters and large theaters were directly lost. The number was reduced to 15, and the power loss was nearly three floors! The ranking fell below the Shaw Theater line. After returning, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately took over the Lisheng Cinema Line, and at the same time immediately abolished the separation from the Jiahe Cinema Line and announced that he would join the Global Cinema Line. The news quickly reached Wrinkle¡¯s ears. His first thought was absolutely impossible, but after calling Lei Juekun, Wrinkle¡¯s eyes were dark and almost fainted, and then the office was smashed in anger. Later, it was said that Wrinkle had cursed Lei Juekun and Jiang Zhiqiang in the office. It was not too late for Shao Yifu to get the news. After confirming that the news was correct, he sat on the stool for a long time without saying a word, without excitement, and only the sadness of the rabbit and fox, and the depression of breathlessness. Other people in the film industry, especially the bosses of various small and medium-sized film companies in Hong Kong, were shocked and greeted with endless surprises. They even rushed to cooperate with the global theaters with their films. The scenery of Universal Cinemas is the same at the same time! v2 Chapter 584: The ambition of the jewelry industry In the Jiulong Chunqiu Medical Center, Xia Yu and Yan Shining stood quietly in the ward, watching Li Chunqiu examine Yan Hong. Yan Hong, who is 11 years old, changed from the appearance of bloodless and weak body when I saw him early last year. After spending a year at Xia Yu''s house, he naturally did not lack all kinds of nutrients. Therefore, he was full of energy. Teenager. Yan Hong also knew what Li Chunqiu was doing to diagnose himself, so even though he was excited, he didn''t bother Li Chunqiu. After a long time, Li Chunqiu got up and smiled at Xia Yu and Yan Shining who were looking forward to it: "It should be all right now. If you want to get detailed information, you need to go to a big hospital to check it." Although he was prepared, Yan Shining was still very pleasantly surprised. He bowed to Li Chunqiu excitedly and thanked Li Chunqiu: "Thank you Dr. Li, thank you for saving my son! You are really Hua Tuo reborn!" "Thank you doctor!" Yan Hong also got up and thanked Li Chunqiu, his face flushed because of happiness. "Shining, congratulations!" Xia Yu congratulated with a smile. "Boss, thanks to you and Dr. Li, otherwise..." "Well, don''t mention the past, now it''s okay." Seeing that Yan Shining was about to turn over the past, Xia Yu directly planned his words. "I will give Yanhong some Chinese medicine for conditioning warmth and nourishment and take it for three months to prevent the recurrence of the disease." Li Chunqiu smiled slightly, and was also happy that Yan Hong was cured, and then walked outside again. Xia Yu and others immediately followed and walked out. While Li Chunqiu was dispensing the medicine, Xia Yu happened to see Li Wuyang coming back from outside, and the latter smiled immediately when he saw Xia Yu and others. "Brother Li, just came back from the martial arts gym?" "I heard that Jiwuguan is enrolling students in the past two days. It''s not making progress, right?" Xia Yu asked. Speaking of the Jiwu Gymnasium, Li Wuyang couldn''t help but smile: "Not bad, this time I recruited 50 students at one time, three of which have good qualifications." After speaking, Li Wuyang looked at Yan Shining and said, "Shining, are my apprentices in your care?" Yan Shining smiled and said: "Your apprentices are very good, and all trainings are top-notch. If you want me to say, if you accept more apprentices, you can help me lay the foundation for them and enter the Aegis security. It¡¯s a good way out, it¡¯s better than letting them mix in the dark.¡± Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile when the two started chatting. What Li Wuyang and Yan Shining were talking about was actually the cooperation between Jiwuguan and Aegis Security. Li Wuyang is the master of Jiwumen, and what is on the bright side is a Jiwuguan named Jiwuguan. After so many years, Li Wuyang has also taught many apprentices. Thanks to his strong standing strength, he has gained a lot of reputation, so many people go to Jiwuguan to apprentice and learn art, and Li Wuyang will also pick it up. But over the years, because Jiwuguan has no other industries, the apprentices can¡¯t keep them after they are out of the teacher. Martial arts practitioners are inherently vigorous and like to solve problems with their fists, so many have either actively or passively joined. Various societies. Yan Shining was also enthusiastic about Li Wuyang¡¯s apprentices and proposed to recruit a group of Aegis security. Li Wuyang naturally had no objection. Thanks to Aegis Security being Xia Yu¡¯s company, the treatment was not bad in all aspects, so Many students in Jiwu Hall have entered the Aegis security. As soon as these students with a martial arts foundation entered the Aegis security, of course they came out on top in various trainings and learned everything quickly. Yan Shining liked it very much. Aegis security has been established for seven or eight months, and many members have graduated from the training ground. In view of Xia Yu''s orders, Yan Shining has continuously recruited innocent young people. Compared to people who know nothing, Yan Shining prefers a solid warrior. Xia Yu''s heart moved and said to Li Wuyang: "Brother Li, have you ever thought of expanding the Jiwuguan and opening branches all over the world? Create another Jiwudao and become famous as the ancestor. You just need Open the library and accept disciples, I will settle other things." Li Wuyang''s eyes lit up, and he felt a little eager to move. He couldn''t help but look at his father who was dispensing medicine. Li Chunqiu felt that his son was looking at him, and said without looking back: "Ayang, I think A Yu is right. We are the origin of martial arts in China, but the concept of self-care is too heavy, which has led to a lot of kung fu now being passed on. The place of inheritance has no reputation." "Look at what little devil''s karate, and Goryeo''s taekwondo, are popular in the world, it is an eye-catching sight, some time ago, I went to the Hong Kong Island kick hall and was beaten all over the floor." "Before, Ye Wen taught a good apprentice, and he deliberately carried forward my Chinese Kungfu, based on Wing Chun, combined with the best of hundreds of schools to create Jeet Kune Do, and made a reputation in the world, but he died young. ,Hey¡­¡­" "The smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alleys. The times are different. No matter how good the kung fu is, it must be promoted. But if A Yu handles it, it will definitely succeed." Hearing Li Chunqiu''s persuasion, Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a smile, and felt that Master was advancing with the times and his concept was open. Of course, if Li Chunqiu is not open, he will not pass Tai Chi on to him. Yes, now Xia Yu has worshipped Li Chunqiu as a teacher. Before that, he lacked rituals. Li Chunqiu didn''t mention it, and Xia Yu didn''t understand it. But the more you practice Taijiquan, the more you feel the subtlety. After thinking about it, Xia Yu found himself Meng Lang was still too much. Therefore, he specially asked Li Chunqiu as a teacher, and Li Chunqiu readily accepted. After apprenticeship, Li Chunqiu''s family and Xia Yu are naturally a family, and their names have become closer, calling them nicknames or nicknames. Seeing his father¡¯s support, and Xia Yu also looked at him with scorching eyes, thinking of Xia Yu¡¯s saying that Chengzong would be an ancestor, Li Wuyang decisively agreed: "Go ahead, A Yu, I will only teach apprentices, and rely on the rest. is you." "Wrap it with me, you first create a great martial arts with Li Erge, and accept more apprentices. In the future, there will definitely be apprentices who will be in charge of opening branches. You don''t have to worry about other things." Xia Yu swept his hand directly on him. He now has the context for pushing Kungfu. If he wants to develop his martial arts, he only needs to be able to fight and promote. In fighting and kicking the gym, Li Wuyang can only rely on himself. As long as he can win, Xia Yu¡¯s propaganda can keep up. Carpet bombing is guaranteed to make the extreme martial arts fire Then another world will be created. The Jiwu Dao Association formulates standard rules and regulations, a complete set of professional rating system, and then holds the internal Jiwu Dao World Championships, and finally incubates into a world competition, so why worry that Jiwu Dao does not flourish. Of course, the foundation for the development of Jiwu Dao lies in the strength of Li Wuyang and his apprentices. Otherwise, even if Xia Yu is pushed higher, he will make wedding dresses for others if he is defeated. But thinking of the strength of the two brothers Li Wuming, Xia Yu was confident. Thinking of the extreme martial arts all over the world, Li Wuyang''s disciples and grandchildren were everywhere, Xia Yu secretly looked forward to it. The Li family belongs to him, and the stronger Li Wuyang''s power is, the greater the benefit to him. Later, Xia Yu discussed some directions and regulations with the interested Li Wuyang, and Li Wuyang went to the matter enthusiastically. Before long, Li Chunqiu prepared the medicine, and Xia Yu said goodbye. On the way back, he suddenly saw a corner of the downtown area. There was a well-positioned shop with the door closed, and the leisure was very conspicuous. Xia Yu took a closer look, and the five-character sign "Xie Liyuan Jinpu" was hanging on the fish door. Opposite the Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, there is a Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and Gold Shop. At this time, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and Gold Shop is busy, obviously business is very good. At this time, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery & Gold Co., Ltd. was the leader of the Hong Kong jewelry industry and belonged to the Zheng Yutong family. I remember later generations, Chow Tai Fook has a market value of more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. Thinking divergently, Xia Yu thought of the huge market for the jewelry industry in the future generations of mainland China, and he couldn''t help but feel a little bit ready to move. This industry seems to be pretty good too. It happens to have a large amount of money in hand. Now that there is a good opportunity, it is not bad to step on it! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 585: Raid After thinking about it, Xia Yu acted immediately and arranged for people to collect relevant information about Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. Soon, all the information of Xie Liyuan Jinpu was presented to Xia Yu. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is a company from Omen and belongs to Omen Xie''s family. In 1867, Xie Yutang, who was only 17 years old, founded the Xie Liyuan brand in Zaitou, Omenqiao, making silver jewelry for the neighborhood, and then entered the field of gold jewelry. In 1944, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop was also the first gold shop to use the principle of electrolysis to purify gold and use carbon to melt platinum. Using this technology, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop refined a large amount of miscellaneous gold imported from all over the world. The ninety-nine gold bars produced amount to two thousand taels. Because of the use of this technology to grab the top spot, Xie Liyuan gold shop expanded on a large scale, constantly opening branches, assets, strength and brand awareness inflated like a balloon, becoming a well-known gold shop. In 1967, the 100th anniversary of the opening of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, it has a history of 112 years, and it has also been passed down to the new hands of the third-generation head Xie Zhi, and the fourth-generation heir of the family is also being cultivated. Unexpectedly, Xie Zhixin''s management error in the business of gold bonds caused Xie Liyuan''s gold shop to close down. In order not to hinder the Xie Liyuan jewelry company, which belongs to the Xie family, the Xie family tried to find someone to take over the gold business. The strong man broke his wrist and got rid of this burden. After that, he wholeheartedly operated the Xie Liyuan jewelry company. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is a century-old shop after all, and it has a profound background since its operation. Chow Tai Fook, the No. 1 brand in the Hong Kong jewellery industry, was founded in 1929, 62 years later than Xie Liyuan Gold Shop! Because of the talent of the operator, the strength of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery & Gold Shop far exceeds that of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. But in Xia Yu''s view, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has an advantage that makes him very tempted, that is, there are a lot of goldsmiths who make gold and silver jewelry. All of these are talents. The three factories of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop add up to a total of 285. Although the technical proficiency of the famous goldsmiths is different, the comprehensive ability of these goldsmiths can be regarded as the top in Hong Kong and Macau. If Xia Yu establishes a jewelry brand by himself, he can spend a lot of money and resources to promote it, but in the jewelry industry, design and quality are the fundamentals. This kind of heritage cannot be easily accumulated, and the talents are not so good. Recruited. But now, as long as the Xie Liyuan gold shop is taken over, these goldsmiths can get it. With his strength, he can easily build a jewelry brand. With the two existing magazines "Fashion Yiren" and "Mr. Fashion" of Jiuding Newspaper, as well as the fashion magazines that will gradually appear later, it is completely cheating to jointly promote a jewelry brand. Seeing some of the information below, Xia Yu frowned. Not only he is interested in Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, Xiangjiang''s Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, Saturday Fook, Xie Ruilin Jewelry and other companies are all interested in the assets of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop and want to annex and increase its own strength. It''s just that several companies are still competing, and the Xie family is waiting for the price. "Time is urgent, it looks like a surprise attack." Xia Yu muttered to himself, and then made a call to Jiuding Securities Company and asked Wang Qi to come to his office. Under his command, the best at acquiring business, except for Jiuding Securities Co., which is Jiuding Bank, in order to quickly and steadily win the Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, Wang Qi must be the one to come. Soon, Wang Qi came to Xia Yu''s office panting. "Wang Qi, take a sip of tea first, and then take a look at this." "Thank you, Chairman!" Wang Qi was not polite, took a sip of tea to straighten out his anger, then picked up the information from Xie Liyuan''s gold shop and checked it carefully. After a long time, he closed the information and asked: "Chairman, are you planning to acquire Xie Liyuan Gold Shop?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, your task is to acquire Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. Pay attention to the factories and gold dealers, as well as the purchase channels and stores. You must keep the brand. "Ok!" "Chairman, are there any other requirements?" Wang Qi nodded and asked again. "No, you can take care of the others! If you need assistance from a company, just go find it and say I agree." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said. "Okay, then I will do it!" After Wang Qi finished speaking, he drank the tea in his cup in one sip and left quickly. In response, Xia Yu showed admiration. After returning, Wang Qi immediately formed an acquisition team to collect more detailed information on Xie Liyuan''s gold store. He made the acquisition plan overnight, and led the team directly to Omen the next day. In just two days, Wang Qi smashed Xie Liyuan''s gold shop, and negotiated with the Xie family before the jewelry companies such as Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang could react. It was also Xia Yu''s office. Wang Qi sat on the sofa calmly and waited. Xia Yu looked through documents such as Xie Liyuan''s contract and equity transfer certificate. For a long time, Xia Yu put down the things in his hands and smiled and said with appreciation: "Wang Qi, you really didn''t disappoint me, good job!" Wang Qi smiled and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Chairman!" "You have to work harder and send someone to take over Xie Liyuan Gold Shop to stabilize the people''s hearts. At the same time, you will register an Eternal Jewelry Company. Xie Liyuan Gold Gold Co., Ltd. loses gold bonds for acceptance by Jiuding Bank. Later I will send someone to take over the company." Xia Yu thought for a while and wanted to tell Wang Qi. "understand!" The name change of Eternal Jewelry Company is Xia Yu¡¯s decision after careful consideration. Although Xie Liyuan¡¯s brand is very well-known, there is a drawback, that is, Xie¡¯s family also owns the Xie Liyuan Jewelry Company brand, which blocked Xie Liyuan¡¯s involvement in the jewelry industry. may. Xia Yu didn''t want to let the Xie family sit back and enjoy the success of Xie Liyuan''s brand in the future. Moreover, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is famous again, it is only famous in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. It is not well-known in the world. It is not a pity to lose it. This brand name is too awkward for foreigners, and it is better to replace it. ... "Boom!" "Come in!" "Chairman, the acquisition failed." As soon as he walked in, Xu Bin, who was in charge of tracking the acquisition of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, reported to Zheng Yu Tonghui in shame. Zheng Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What is the specific situation?" Xu Bin Limahui reported: "Originally, we were competing with Chow Sang Sang, Saturday Fu and other companies, everyone''s bottom line is similar, so we have been entangled. Who knew Jiuding Securities Co. attacked. When we knew, Jiuding Securities had reached an agreement with Xie''s family. We don¡¯t know exactly what conditions were discussed." Hearing the name Jiuding Securities, Zheng Yutong immediately attached great importance to it, and was not dissatisfied with Xu Bin''s unclear situation. With Xia Yu''s style of work, it is normal to hide Xu Bin from it. As for why the Xie family is willing not to disclose the price increase to them, it must be the conditions of Jiuding Securities that the Xie family cannot refuse. At this point, there is no need to delve into these things. Now the key lies in the significance behind Jiuding Securities'' acquisition of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. This means that Xia Yu intends to get involved in the jewelry industry, and immediately went to the Xie Liyuan gold shop, and completed the accumulation in one step, relying on Xia Yu''s huge resources It is conceivable that Xiangjiang jewelry There will be another giant in the industry. Moreover, the potential threat to the industry leader Chow Tai Fook will be greater than the industry leader Chow Sang Sang. "Headache!" Zheng Yu spoke for a while, thought about it, picked up the phone, and dialed Xia Yu''s phone number. "Hey, Xia Sheng, this is Zheng Yutong. Congratulations. I heard that you have acquired Xie Liyuan Gold Shop... No, I am curious. I came here to ask and wish you a prosperous business..." After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yutong pondered for a long time, and his eyes were bright: "If you don''t hide it at all, that''s fine, everything depends on your strength." Soon after Zheng Yutong learned about it, Jiuding Securities Company acquired Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, and the news that users who bought the gold coupons of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop that could not be exchanged can be exchanged at Jiuding Bank immediately spread throughout Xiangjiang. Many bigwigs realized the implications of this news and called Xia Yu to congratulate them. The next day, many newspapers reported that the stock **** acquired Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, and the jewelry industry will be on the rise again. In another day, the registration of Eternal Jewelry Company was completed. Taking advantage of the public opinion, Xia Yu made a public announcement that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop would be renamed Eternal Jewelry Company, and all branches would be renamed at the same time. Moreover, Eternal Jewelry Company cooperates with Jiuding Bank, customers can purchase Eternal Gold through Jiuding Bank. In a few days, Xia Yulie hired a talent proficient in the jewelry industry, named Zhou Hexuan, who was appointed by Xia Yu as the general manager of Eternal Jewelry Company. Xia Yu talked to him for a long time, and based on the memory of later generations, made many reasonable and effective suggestions, and then asked Zhou Hexuan to take over the management of Eternal Jewelry Company.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 586: For the long term Just when Xia Yu acquired Xie Liyuan Gold Shop and established Eternal Jewelry, the movie "Laughing Fist and Strange Trick" was also in theaters. There were 20 theaters at the beginning of the global theater chain. After the acquisition of Lisheng Theater in a flash, the number rose to 24, and the movie "Laughing Fist" was also shown. There are too many screens and seats in the global theaters. Even if "Laughing Fist" is fully promoted, it still can''t occupy all the screening resources, so other movies will be released during the same period. The difference from the previous life is that in this life, the Galaxy Film Company produced movies according to standardization, so the scripts were written first. With the advantage of the universal agency, the quality of "Laughing Fist" has been greatly improved. The last generation of "Laughing Fist" was able to win the No. 1 Hong Kong film in 1979, and the total box office of Hong Kong reached 5.44 million Hong Kong dollars. In this episode of the right time and place, the "Laughing Fist" has exploded. Shaw Brothers and Jiahe wanted to attack "Laughing Fist", but they did not expect to sink to the bottom. One week after its release, "Laughing Fist and Strange Stroke" won a box office of 2.62 million Hong Kong dollars. The Global Cinemas split 55%, totaling 1.44 million Hong Kong dollars, and the self-operated surrounding shops of the Global Cinemas made a profit of 120,000 Hong Kong dollars, totaling 1.56 million. In addition to "Laughing Fist", four other films were screened, all of which have been strictly approved and determined to have certain screening value. A week after the screening, under the aura of "Laughing Fist", the four films still achieved a total of 94.7 Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, the Global Cinemas split account is 520,000 HKD In such a week, the total revenue of Global Cinemas was 2.08 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Global Cinemas got a good start! In the second week, "Laughing Fist" continued to strengthen, with a total box office reaching 5.34 million Hong Kong dollars. With the addition of the four movies currently in theaters, the total revenue of the global theaters rose slightly to 2.21 million Hong Kong dollars. A month later, the total box office of "Laughing Fist" reached 8.76 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it only ranked third in 1977, it has exceeded the highest box office record in 1978 last year. Global theaters shared income of 4.82 million Hong Kong dollars, and Galaxy Films obtained a share of 24% of the total box office based on investment shares and distribution shares, and a total of 2.1 million Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong market. As for the distribution work outside of Hong Kong, Galaxy Films is naturally responsible. Now "Laughing Fist" has been shown in full swing in Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province, but this has nothing to do with the global theaters temporarily. After a month, the Global Cinemas achieved a gross profit of 6.93 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting labor expenses and copy costs, the net profit reached 4.85 million Hong Kong dollars. When this number came out, Jiang Zhiqiang was so excited, he immediately reported good news to Chairman Xia Yu. This number that surprised Jiang Zhiqiang only made Xia Yu smile faintly. However, the market share occupied by this seemingly small number now represents a broad future, so he also attaches great importance to it and encourages Jiang Zhiqiang. Continue to work hard to reach new heights. After the results were exposed, the industry was shaken, Shao Yifu and Wrinkle Huai were depressed. But these are all things to do. Looking back in time, it came to April 4th. On this day, MacLehose ended his 12-day trip to the north and finally returned to Hong Kong. Various media greeted MacLehose and rushed to interview him after seeing him. MacLehose knew that all walks of life in Xiangjiang were waiting for his news, and his answer would affect the stability of Xiangjiang. Fortunately, he brought back the message of "please rest assured of Xiangjiang investors" from the mainland, which caused a good response in Xiangjiang. The major newspapers quickly reported the results of MacLehose''s visit to the mainland with front-page headlines. The confidence of Chinese and foreign investors has greatly increased, and the originally volatile stock market has gone green. However, some people are full of confidence in the mainland, but some people are still worried, such as the British businessman in Xiangjiang. At the press conference after MacLehose¡¯s visit to the mainland, they heard a potential message that MacLehose did not say, that is, when MacLehose¡¯s visit to the north failed and returned, the mainland has directly drawn the line and is absolutely unique on the issue of Hong Kong¡¯s return. Don''t give in. For a long time, the mainland has been blackened out by the Western media. In addition, Xiangjiang and the mainland are separated by a sea. Knowing more about the mainland, the concept has been deeply rooted. So no matter what the mainland said, it is still difficult for them to feel at ease, for fear that their foundation of hard work will be lost once. And for those British businessmen, Xiangjiang is a colony after all, and their roots are in Britain, and the market of Xiangjiang is not as good as that of Britain and Europe. I was reluctant to leave before because I already had a foundation in Hong Kong, and I didn''t want to take the risk to return to the UK to establish a new foundation. But now they can¡¯t help but think about it. Moreover, the situation in the UK¡¯s domestic elections has become increasingly clear. The Labour Party has been losing ground under the impact of the Conservative Party. This means that the UK will implement economic reforms and opportunities will be everywhere. With such considerations, some wealthy British businessmen who were relatively cautious began to seize the opportunity to change their properties and strive to be able to sell them at a high price at the beginning and then return to the UK. Although this has caused some turmoil, many Chinese bigwigs have taken over assets at low prices At this time, in order to implement Xia Yu¡¯s talent acquisition and training strategy, after the Jiuding Consortium communicated with Xiangjiang Chinese University, A job fair will be held inside the Xiangjiang Chinese University to absorb fresh blood for the companies under the Jiuding Consortium. Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company. Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., etc., almost all companies of the Jiuding Consortium in Xiangjiang were dispatched. The time has entered April, the graduation season is approaching, the seniors basically have no courses, and they are starting to find a way for their work. At this moment, Xiangjiang¡¯s famous Jiuding company with excellent welfare benefits was willing to hold a job fair at Xiangjiang Chinese University in advance. The senior executives of Xiangjiang Chinese University were pleasantly surprised. Last year, the newly appointed president Ma Lin actively approached him. On the 6th of June, a grand job fair was held. The students of Xiangjiang Chinese University who graduated this year have been notified by the school. Even if they are not majors in their counterparts, the school teachers recommend that students visit. However, with the power of Jiuding-based enterprises in Xiangjiang, and the legendary stock **** Xia Yu will also be present at the scene, the entire Xiangjiang Chinese University students are excited. Journalists from major media also came here. The school considered that this was an opportunity to make a name for itself, which would be of great help to the enrollment in the next few months, so this time it made an exception for media reporters. Early that morning, Xia Yu came to Xiangjiang Chinese University in a low-key manner and met with Ma Lin and other senior Chinese University officials. "Headmaster Ma, hello!" "Good professors!" "Xia Sheng, hello, welcome your visit, let Zhongda Pengxun shine!" PD: By the way, ask for a monthly ticket for a recommendation ticket. The data is not ugly, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 587: Sprinkle water and think tank "Professor Xu!" When chatting with Ma Lin and others, Xia Yu also specially walked over to shake hands with Xu Zhixue, because the relationship was too familiar, he didn''t chat too much on this occasion. Xu Zhixue was originally a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He was invited by Lin Shanyuan to come to the economic research office of Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. long ago, and produced the "Economic Weekly" magazine and two ranking lists. Now Xu Zhixue is still employed by Jiuding Newspaper. The company is of course only part-time. Thanks to the influence of "Economic Weekly", Xu Zhixue''s reputation has also risen, and his reputation at Xiangjiang Chinese University is very high. This time a Jiuding company came to the Xiangjiang Chinese University to hold a job fair. Knowing that Xia Yu was coming, Ma Lin specially called Xu Zhixue over. With this relationship, there might be something else. "Principal Ma, our side has been arranged and we can start recruiting at any time." Xia Yu, Ma Lin and others walked around the hall, and after checking them, they said to Ma Lin. Because there are more than 20 participating companies in total, and the recruitment gap is large, Xiangjiang Chinese University deliberately selected the hall as the initial review point for resumes, and the specific interview sessions were placed in a classroom around the hall. "Xia Sheng, our side is also ready. The students have already arrived at the sports field. Let''s pass now?" Ma Lin said with a smile. "please!" "please!" Then, Ma Lin, Xia Yu and others went to the nearby sports field. Because of Xia Yu¡¯s legendary color and identity, Ma Lin specifically asked Xia Yu whether he could give a short speech to the students of Xiangjiang Chinese University to encourage them. Xia Yu thought of the far-reaching impact and easily They agreed. When Xia Yu''s figure appeared near the sports field, sharp-eyed students immediately saw it. First, there was a small discussion, and then more and more people stood up and looked at Xia Yu. The playground was noisy, and many people were even tall. Called "stock god". But after all, they are university students who are still very disciplined. So despite the discussions, no one left their positions without authorization. The tutors in each class also understand the excitement of the students, and this can be regarded as showing the enthusiasm of CUHK. Therefore, the students were not stopped. "Principal Ma, your classmates are still very enthusiastic!" Xia Yu said to Ma Lin with a smile while walking. Ma Lin also smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, you are a top big man in Hong Kong. Many students have heard of your legendary experience. You came to Zhongda in your busy schedule. The students could not control their emotions. Please forgive me. ." "Haha, Principal Ma, you are so good at talking." ... Soon, Ma Lin, Xia Yu and others were on the rostrum, Ma Lin and Xia Yu sat in the middle position, and there was a lecture seat beside the rostrum. Compared with a society like a larger dye tank, university is a relatively pure place after all, so there are not too many rules, plus there are job fairs behind, so everything is kept simple. Ma Lin briefly talked about the job fair, and then asked Xia Yu to give a speech in the expectation of the students. "The following grandly invites Mr. Xia Yu to give a speech for us, welcome!" "Papa Papa..." Amidst the applause resounding across the sky, Xia Yu got up and came to the lecture hall with a smile on his face. He bowed to Xia Yu''s classmates and teachers, and the applause suddenly became more enthusiastic. "This is my first visit to CUHK, and the enthusiasm of the students has made me flattered, thank you!" "I am very grateful to CUHK for giving me this opportunity. To tell the truth, I was on this podium with anxiety. After all, all of you here are talents. There are undergraduates and masters students. They have better knowledge than my middle school. Those who haven''t finished are stronger." "When Principal Ma asked me to give you a speech, I was very shocked. I knew I didn''t have this ability. But your respected principal was kind and kind. I can only bite the bullet today." "Hahaha..." Xia Yu''s kind and humorous words brightened the eyes of the students in the audience, and unconsciously relaxed, they laughed lightly while listening to Xia Yu''s speech. "Seriously, I am envious of everyone. I have the opportunity to go to university and study in university to improve myself. Unfortunately, my family was poor at the time. To make a living, I could only choose to drop out of school and enter the society to work hard. I was lucky. I finally got it. A little famous." "Ha ha ha..." "I know I don''t have the ability to tell you any great truths. Everyone knows more truths than me. I will not show my ugliness. This time I will take this precious opportunity to chat with you casually. If you can say something to everyone''s heart It is a great honor for me to have feelings and even have a certain positive impact on your life." "Society is a pyramid. If you want to live well in life, you must have strengths, stronger abilities..." Xia Yu''s speech was very humorous and down-to-earth. At the beginning, the following laughed from time to time, but as Xia Yu combined his own experience to give a speech to everyone, more and more people were immersed in Xia Yu''s speech. Among the students below, some are about to graduate from university, and some are freshmen and sophomores. The school also knows that Xia Yu¡¯s speech opportunities are rare. For the sake of the students, students who have no classes in other grades are allowed to come and listen. For this reason, there are too many students, so you can arrange to give lectures in an indoor academic hall or hall. Among them, there was a girl with a small smile, affectionately looking at Xia Yu who was speaking on the podium, with pride in her heart. This is her boyfriend, the best boy in the world. The girl is He Chaoqiong. According to the original trajectory, she should study in the United States. However, in this life, she did not want to be too far away from Xia Yu, so she studied at Xiangjiang Chinese University and is now a freshman in the School of Business Administration. Knowing that Xia Yu was coming to school to give a speech, she skipped class. ... "Finally, please allow me to make an advertisement." "Today my subsidiary companies are recruiting at CUHK. I can confidently say that these companies are good choices in terms of remuneration and plans for your future growth, and they can definitely provide you with a display. The stage of ability, look forward to everyone with lofty ideals to join!" "My speech is over, thank you!" "Papa Papa..." After speaking, Xia Yu returned to his seat amidst warm applause, and then the principal Ma Lin came up again, touted Xia Yu''s enterprise again, and then called on the students to seize the opportunity to apply for the job. After the speech, the instructor took the students to leave the venue in an orderly manner. As for the students who are about to graduate, they went to apply for jobs on their own. Xia Yu walked around CUHK under the leadership of Ma Lin. Just when Xia Yu was about to leave, a crisp voice rang from behind. Xia Yu and the others immediately stopped, and when they turned around they saw a young girl standing in place, a little shy. Xia Yu smiled and waved to He Chaoqiong: "Chaoqiong, come here!" Hearing Xia Yu''s greetings, even though the teacher, principal and others looked at him, He Chaoqiong still mustered up the courage to run towards Xia Yu. At this time, Ma Lin and others also recognized who He Chaoqiong was. Although they were teachers and principals of the school, they knew well about the children of some important figures in the school. As the daughter of the gambling king, He Chaoqiong was naturally attached to them. number. What surprised them was that He Chaoqiong was even close to Xia Yu, and it seemed... Ma Lin, Xu Zhixue and others looked at each other and chose to pretend to be stupid. When it comes to matters between the rich and powerful, they dare not intervene and are not qualified to express their opinions. "Good principal, good teachers!" As soon as He Chaoqiong walked over, he first greeted Ma Lin and others, and then followed Xia Yu and strolled around. Along the way, Ma Lin kept introducing Xia Yu about the situation of Zhongda University, and he also had a good eye for He Chaoqiong to also introduce him. He Chaoqiong happily told Xia Yu about the university situation, Xia Yu listened with a smile and echoed from time to time. After walking around, Xia Yu also saw the hot recruitment scene, and then satisfied people came to the reception room to rest. While drinking tea, Xia Yu provoked a topic: "Principal Ma, I just walked around and found that your school seems to be lacking in hardware." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ma Lin was not only not angry, but was refreshed, and a wave of anticipation rose in his heart. He hurriedly said: "No way, CUHK was only founded in 1963, and it is only the 16th year of the Hong Kong government. Most of the education funds for the university are allocated to Xiangjiang University. Although Zhongda has received a lot of social donations, it is still lacking in the overall planning of university construction." The fact is also true. There are only two universities in Hong Kong today, namely, Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Chinese University. The Hong Kong government prefers Hong Kong University, where courses are taught in English, and the establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is mainly dependent on private forces. In the early days of the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, a large number of refugees from mainland China flooded into Hong Kong, which caused a surge in Hong Kong¡¯s demand for Chinese-taught education, which put a heavy pressure on Hong Kong¡¯s higher education. Fortunately, there are still many educators going south. Under this background, three Chinese language colleges have been established. They were New Asia College, Chung Chi College, and United College. These three colleges later became the foundation of Hong Kong Chinese University. The Chinese University of Hong Kong now has a college of liberal arts, business administration, education, law, science, and research institutes, which is less than half of the number of colleges in the later CUHK. Xia Yu nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said in Ma Lin''s expectant gaze: "Principal Ma, although I haven''t read the book, I also know that education is the source of social progress, and I am also dedicated to education." "In this way, CUHK now has six colleges, and I donated five million Hong Kong dollars to each of them, and donated another teaching building for CUHK." Ma Lin suddenly got up and said in surprise, "Mr. Xia, what are you saying is true?" "of course it''s true." Xia Yu said with a faint smile. "Hahaha..." "Thank you, Mr. Xia, thank you, thank you so much! It is the fortune of CUHK for your help..." Ma Lin shook hands with Xia Yu excitedly, his eyes became moist. Xia Yu lightly made a donation of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and also donated another teaching building. For CUHK, the help is unparalleled, and it can directly create the largest donation in the history of CUHK. "Mr. Xia, thank you so much!" "Mr. Xia..." Several other accompanying professors also thanked Xia Yu excitedly and extended their lofty respect. "No thanks. We businessmen take advantage of the people and use them for the people. Giving money back to education is the best help to society. This is what we should do." Xia Yu said with a smile. This is indeed his true idea. After making so much money, it should be done to give back to the society appropriately, and donating to the university is of great benefit to him. Don''t look at him now that he wants to donate 30 million Hong Kong dollars to CUHK and a building, but the building will definitely be named Jiuding Teaching Building. 30 million Hong Kong dollars can also increase the probability of CUHK talents. With Jiuding''s reputation as an enterprise and Xia Yu at CUHK, the school will also face the Jiuding Consortium. At that time, outstanding graduates are more inclined to work in the Jiuding Consortium, and talents are the greatest wealth. As long as you have a top talent, you can make a lot of money for Xia Yu. For example, if you have a financial genius, it is not a problem to make hundreds of millions or even tens of billions for Xia Yu. If you come to a management genius, Xia Yu It is even more profitable. Now donating money to Zhongda University is also because the conditions are not suitable. Otherwise, if possible, Xia Yu would like to build a university on his own to train talents for the Jiuding Foundation. A steady stream of talents is the foundation of Jiuding Foundation''s prosperity. "Mr. Xia, there is nothing we can do at CUHK. I implore you to serve as the honorary manager of CUHK. I wonder if you are willing?" Ma Lin said to Xia Yu, a little calm and excited. Although the increase of honorary school directors requires the school board to decide, it is not he, the principal, who makes the decision in a word, but he believes that as long as it is proposed, there will be absolutely no objection and it will be passed 100%. Xia Yu''s eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Is it really possible? It''s my honor!" "Of course no problem, but please wait a few days." "no problem." Next, the atmosphere of the chat was very warm, but both sides did not discuss specific donation matters, mainly because Xia Yu did not elaborate, and Ma Lin was not easy to follow up. But Ma Lin didn''t worry. The promise to a big man like Xia Yu was always valid. Since Xia Yu mentioned it, someone would naturally come to the meeting. This kind of thing does not require Xia Yu to do it himself. "By the wayPrincipal Ma, I have another request." "please say!" Ma Lin said solemnly. "You also know that the development of a company needs to consider many factors, especially the larger the company, the deeper the integration with society, and there are more things to consider in all aspects." "In order to make the company develop better, I plan to establish a Jiuding think tank to conduct research in the three aspects of politics, society and business. I hope that the professors of the school can accept our appointment as research consultants to help with research in my spare time, or we What do you think of funding various colleges to research related topics?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said. Ma Lin smiled and said without hesitation: "Of course it''s okay. You are not a trouble, you should help us in disguise." "Haha, Principal Ma, it should be mutual benefit and win-win!" "Yes, a win-win situation!" "Mr. Xia, let''s have a good discussion. Professor Xu, Professor Ye, and Professor Lin are all here. They can represent the School of Business Administration, the School of Arts and the School of Law. I am asking people to notify the heads of other schools to come." "That line..." Later, Xia Yu talked to Ma Lin and others about the plan he had already thought of. Establishing a think tank is another move for him. It is also to lay the foundation for the Jiuding Consortium and to gather all the wisdom to help the Jiuding Consortium grow. With Xia Yu''s strength, he can also afford a think tank. In his plan, Jiuding Think Tank will have three research institutes, namely the Political Research Institute, the Business Research Institute and the Social Research Institute. Of course, in the future, whether there will be a military research institute and a science and technology research institute, that will be the future, and now he may also.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 588: Leisure time After returning home, Xia Yu sent someone to contact the Xiangjiang Chinese University to discuss donation matters. Because Xia Yu has already clarified the scale of the donation, all that needs to be talked about is some details, such as regulating the use of the donated money and when it will be announced. On the second day, Xia Yu''s speech at Xiangjiang Chinese University and the job fair of Jiuding companies dominated the hot news headlines of Xiangjiang, and many people talked about it. In particular, a set of data shocked those interested. The talents recruited by Jiuding companies accounted for 52% of the total graduates of Xiangjiang Chinese University this year. The students who graduated from the College of Liberal Arts were recruited by the newspaper companies, publishing companies, and Universal Television under Jiuding Culture Media Group. Most of the law school graduates have entered standard law firms. Students who graduated from the School of Business Administration are even more in demand. Each company under Xia Yu needs students who graduated from management majors and human resources majors. Even students who graduated from the Faculty of Science, majoring in mathematics have been recruited into financial companies, and there is an urgent need for such talents in modeling and data analysis. It can be said that most of the graduates of Xiangjiang Chinese University who have not yet formally graduated have already found a job. Ma Lin and others are happy to sleep. The senior executives of Xiangjiang University, an even more veteran one, immediately became anxious after learning about the situation, and they were compared by the younger brother. How can this be done? Especially on the second day, after it broke out that Xia Yu donated 30 million Hong Kong dollars to the Hong Kong Chinese University and a teaching building, the public opinion of Xiangjiang was boiling, and Xia Yu''s reputation rose to a new height. A senior executive at Xiangjiang University was envious, and then contacted Xia Yu with all his strength, especially after knowing that Professor Lin Shanyuan and Xia Yu of the school had a good relationship, they entrusted Lin Shanyuan to match the school. Soon, Xia Yu learned about the idea of ??Xiangjiang University, and was full of secret joy. Xiangjiang University took the initiative to send talents to the door. How could he not want it? Isn''t it just another job fair for Xiangjiang University? It just so happened that because of the short establishment time and the small number of graduates of Xiangjiang Chinese University, the more than 20 companies under it did not receive much fresh blood. Liu Tianci, Yan Wenhan and others wanted Xia Yu to mention this. As for the donation to Hong Kong University, this money is an investment in the future, and he will not lose, and he can still feel comfortable. Therefore, Xia Yu happily agreed, and the senior executives of Xiangjiang University were delighted and negotiated with Xia Yu quickly. Three days later, a series of companies from the Jiuding Consortium recruited at Xiangjiang University. Xia Yu also dumped 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the past. However, this time he did not donate to build a teaching building because after more than 60 years of development, the hardware facilities of Xiangjiang University are completely sufficient. Despite this, the senior executives of Xiangjiang University were still surprised, and Xia Yu added the title of Honorary Director of Lifetime of Xiangjiang University. After the news broke out, Ma Lin and others from Xiangjiang Chinese University secretly complained that Xiangjiang University followed them to pick up the bargains. In society, Xia Yu''s reputation continued to soar, and the reputation of an educational philanthropist was firmly worn on Xia Yu''s head, and praises for Xia Yu could be heard everywhere on the road. In the two schools, Xia Yu¡¯s reputation has become very loud, and the reputation of Jiuding companies is also very loud. Many graduates who have been hired are proud of them, and students who have not graduated also firmly remember Jiuding companies in their hearts. , A seed has been planted, it seems that Nian can germinate smoothly. Of course, at Xiangjiang University, Xia Yu also mentioned the cooperation to establish a Jiuding think tank. For such a favorable thing, Xiangjiang University quickly agreed. The only two universities in Xiangjiang were completely wiped out by Xia Yu. The news from Jiuding Think Tank caused a sensation in the entire academic circle. Many scholars were ready to move. Some people paid for their research. Such a good thing could not be found under the lantern. It is a good thing for scholars of the same level to communicate together. Therefore, Xia Yu was surprised to find that Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University were more active than him for the establishment of the Jiuding Think Tank. Xia Yu was very happy about this and let the two most familiar Xu Zhixue and Lin Shanyuan take the lead and be responsible for the liaison between the two universities. Matters. Just as the outside world and the academic circle were boiling, Xia Yu became the shopkeeper and went out fishing with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. A white yacht moored on the blue sea, and the rustling sea breeze made the people on the yacht feel comfortable. Suddenly, seeing the buoy sinking, Xia Yu smiled and immediately shook the reel. The high-level fishing rod was bent very strongly, and the big fish under the water was pulling hard. "Wow, Xia Yu, this fish must be bigger than the last one!" Li Qian looked at the water expectantly and cheered. "It should be, I think there is more than four catties, I think it is black sea bream." Xia Yu said with a faint smile, standing steadily with roots under his feet, and quickly took in the line. For Bao Yugang, who was not bad for money, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong were invited to fish. Of course, they used the best equipment. The fishing line and strand were of good quality, so there was no need to worry about being broken by four or five catties of fish. As soon as the fish bites the hook, just try hard to wind up the line. "Xia Yu, looking at the curvature of the fishing rod, it seems that there are more than four catties, but six catties, right?" Huo Yingdong, who had no fish bite, ignored his fishing rod and watched Xia Yu pull the fish with interest. "Yes, Xia Yu, I agree with Lao Huo, at least six catties, I bet it is Huang Lachang." Bao Yugang also said with a smile. "I have collected more than ten rice noodles, it will soon surface, whether it is black sea bream or Huang Lachang, it will be announced soon!" Xia Yu said with a smile on his face, and continued to take up the thread. Soon, a fish shadow appeared on the edge of the water, and Xia Yu pulled it directly out of the water with a lever. "It''s a black sea bream, it''s so big, it really weighs five or six catties!" "Old Huo, prepare to dip the net!" "coming!" Huo Yingdong said that he picked up the dip net, and when Xia Yu pulled the fish over, he picked up the wild **** bream. "boom!" "Papa..." The dip net was placed on the board, and the **** sea bream kept beating and flapping the board. "Wow, Xia Yu, let me put it in the bucket." Li Qian ran over excitedly, Xia Yu smiled and watched her release the pre-order, grabbed the struggling **** sea bream and put it into the big bucket. There are more than a dozen fish in the bucket. In addition to black sea bream, there are also yellow sea bream, yellow lachang, green spot, red spot and other fish. Xia Yu and others used live shrimp to fish. This kind of food is very attractive to carnivorous fish such as black bream and grouper. There are more than one hundred groupers in the sea. Among them, the most precious and meaty grouper is sea erythema, which happened to be caught by Xia Yu. It weighs seven catties. At this time, the sea erythema has taken out to make grilled fish and fish soup, which is on the other side of the more than 20-meter-long yacht. This time, Bao Yugang brought the chef over. "The scent is coming, and it seems to be edible." Sniffing the scent floating in the air, Xia Yu''s taste buds opened wide, and he wanted to taste the sea erythema he had caught with his own hands. "Then what are you waiting for, don''t fish for now, and eat fish." As Bao Yugang said, he put the fishing rod directly on the ground, and walked towards the other side of the yacht. Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu smiled at each other, put down the fishing rod, came to the other side, sat down on the set table, and the chef immediately served grilled fish and fresh fish soup. "Come on, Cici, try it!" "Well, thank you!" Xia Yu served Li Qian a bowl of fish soup. A happy smile appeared on Li Qian''s face. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong smiled silently. "There is grilled fish, how can there be no beer!" Xia Yu said, took a can of beer from the box and opened it, and said to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, "Old Bao Lao Huo, drink?" "Okay, I''ll do it myself!" "Of course I have to drink some, I can do it myself!" The two said, each took the beer and opened it, then touched it and took a big sip. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 589: Xiangjiang Electric Light "Xia Yu, brother, I will convince you. For the college students who graduated from Xiangjiang this year, you have eaten the top batch alone. If you do this every year, there will be a talent gap in all major enterprises in Xiangjiang after ten years. Who will I can fight you!" Bao Yu just took a chopstick and put the fish in his mouth, showing an expression of enjoyment. After swallowing, he said with emotion to Xia Yu. "Yes, you also donated 30 million yuan to each of the two colleges and universities generously, proud!" "Especially the think tank you run, from now on, all the best in the world will be in your hands, high!" Huo Yingdong also said admiringly. Neither of them was stupid. After the news broke, both of them were surprised, and then they thought of the profound meaning of Xia Yu''s operation. Donating to school is a very common charity act. Xia Yu stands out only because his handwriting is too big. What really caught the attention of the two was the plan of Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Think Tank. Although Xia Yu did not deliberately announce it to the public, he had too many talents. Among them, there were many acquaintances of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and the two of them were naturally indirect. Understand the grand plan of Xia Yu. To do anything, you need to rely on talents. The more talents, the bigger the career can develop. As soon as Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding think tank is established, and it collects elite talents from Xiangjiang and all over the world, so that they can contribute their intelligence to the Jiuding Consortium, the probability of the Jiuding Consortium finding business opportunities will be magnified dozens or even hundreds of times, and the probability of an accident will also be increased. Infinitely shrink. It can be said that in the eyes of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, as long as the Jiuding Think Tank is well built, it is definitely the foundation of the Jiuding Consortium''s centuries-old prosperity. While many businessmen in Xiangjiang were still taking one step at a time, Xia Yu had already looked at the future and began to make arrangements. This overall view and strategic awareness shocked Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. If such people cannot succeed, no one at Xiangjiang will succeed. Hearing the flattery of the two, Xia Yu smiled, waved his hand and smiled: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, not as exaggerated as you said, I just want to make up for the foundation to catch up with everyone." "Now, the big boss of Xiangjiang, who has not accumulated for at least decades, even more than a hundred years of accumulation in the family, I am a grassroots rise, and I am very poor in terms of personal connections and talents. Although I can be proud of it, but in the long run Look, there are still big drawbacks. In order to make up for the foundation, we can only start from this aspect." "Ha ha¡­¡­" Seeing what Xia Yu said, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong smiled kindly, and stopped struggling with this topic. They all have their own judgments, and what others say can¡¯t compare to their own thinking and distinguishing, since Xia Yu That said, it should be the case, anyway, they are all the same with Xia Yu. "By the way, Old Bao, I heard that you sold another ten freighters to Wheelock three days ago?" Xia Yu and Bao Yugang. Huo Yingdong touched the wine bottle, took a sip, and asked casually. Bao Yugang was not surprised that Xia Yu knew the news. Now the whole Hong Kong knows that he is going to withdraw from the shipping market. Many people are interested in taking over his low-priced freighters, so he nodded and said, "Well, ten ships have been sold. Since the decision to go ashore, 68 ships have been sold, but there are still 122 large and small ships in hand." Huo Yingdong said: "Whether it is sold, shipping has entered the sunset industry in recent years, and there are more promising industries. If you stick to shipping, you will only be left behind by others. If you don¡¯t go ashore. , Maybe in two years, the position of the richest Chinese will not be yours." Hearing Huo Yingdong''s joke, Bao Yugang shook his head and smiled: "Old Huo, what you said is wrong, don''t have to wait two years, where am I still the richest Chinese?" Huo Yingdong winked at Xia Yu, and Noyu said, "You have to ask Xia Yu. Now in Economic Weekly, whether it is the richest person in Hong Kong or the richest person in Asia, you are the richest Chinese, I can No nonsense." Bao Yugang couldn''t laugh or cry, and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, this is your innocent way. Obviously he is richer than me, and he ranked me in front as the target, and ranked yourself in the richest of Xiangjiang. You are embarrassed to be in the twenty-odd list, with assets of just over one billion yuan." "Yes, Xia Yu, I dare say that Xiangjiang is definitely the richest you, but you hide the deepest, too bad." Huo Yingdong also complained to Xia Yu. Seeing the flames of war on him, Xia Yu decisively beat Haha: "My worth is real. You only count how many assets I have, and why don''t you count my debts? Don¡¯t look at my current companies. I am only from HSBC. The bank borrowed more than one billion yuan, and I have only a little left after deducting the debt." Xia Yu played a rogue to change the subject, making Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong helpless, but the two didn''t mind. They were just joking, and they understood Xia Yu''s choices and practices. However, the two of them also wondered in their hearts, and learned a little bit more from Xia Yu, and hid their wealth. Whoever wants to reach the top of the rich list will climb to the top, and they will fool people who are not up to the top. "By the way, old bag, if you want to sell your boat, you can just sell it all over the world. You can sell it at such a low price. You can sell it with more publicity Instead of putting the money in there, it is better to get rid of the package and invest quickly. Real estate, a rare opportunity!" "Ten days later, the Hong Kong government auctioned another batch of land. Let''s try to get a few more. By the end of this year, house prices will increase by at least 50%." Xia Yu reminded. Bao Yugang nodded in understanding and said, "What you said is reasonable, I will continue to toss it later. As for the land acquisition, the funds on hand are temporarily sufficient." "MacLehose brought back the news from the mainland. The people in Xiangjiang have stabilized. The overall environment is stable, but housing prices should go back." Huo Yingdong echoed. "Xia Yu, you have now acquired Xie Liyuan Gold Shop and established an eternal jewelry store. Are you planning to do this with your heart?" Bao Yugang asked curiously. "It just happens to have some spare money in my hand. In addition, the Xie Liyuan gold store closed down, and the price is not expensive. It is better to just buy it as a big toy. Besides, the jewelry industry is very compatible with my magazine business. money." Xia Yu explained with a smile. "Haha!" "I just ran into Shark Tongtong a few days ago, and he was still inquiring about your thoughts from me, but you surprised him by your casual fall." Bao Yugang laughed and said, there was even a hint of schadenfreude in his tone. "How can I scare him. Chow Tai Fook is the leader in the Hong Kong jewelry market. With his methods, he is not afraid of me. Besides, the market is there, and there is no regulation of who belongs to it. It depends on the method." Xia Yuhun didn''t care. "By the way, Old Bao, do you have shares in Xiangjiang Electric Light Co., Ltd.?" Xia Yu asked suddenly while eating the fish. PS: By the way, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 590: Gold potential stocks As soon as this question came out, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong both stopped eating and drinking, and looked at Xia Yu intently. "Xia Yu, do you plan to acquire the Hongkong Electric Company?" Bao Yugang asked. Xia Yu admitted frankly: "Yes, I have this idea." Bao Yugang suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded in response: "My Lufeng International Company holds 7.6% of the shares of the Hongkong Electric Company. Transfer it to you. When I go back, I will let someone sort out the situation." "Old Bao, thank you very much!" Xia Yu smiled and said gratefully. "Why don''t we both say thank you, that''s not the case!" "By the way, Xia Yu, after MacLehose came back from the north, some British capitals are now uneasy and ready to withdraw to the UK. Several directors of the Hongkong Electric seem to have this tendency, should I come forward to help you buy it?" Bao Yugang waved his hand and smiled, then suddenly thought about it and said to Xia Yu. As one of the directors of the Hongkong Electric Company, although he is a relatively ordinary one and does not care about the operation of the company, for so many years, because he has been indifferent to the outside world, he has a good relationship with the directors of the company, whether it is British or Chinese. That''s all. Now that Xia Yu intends to acquire the Hongkong Electric Company, he is naturally willing to help if he can help. After all, Xia Yu has been helping him for so long, and he owes a lot of favors. Although Xia Yu doesn''t care, he has to keep it in his heart. He hasn''t paid it back, and he is unhappy. Seeing Bao Yugang helping Xia Yu, Huo Yingdong certainly couldn¡¯t remain indifferent. He happened to be able to help. Hongkong Electric has three Chinese shareholders, two of whom have a good relationship with him. One of them is still a fellow, but The Hongkong Electric is just the company they invest in. Huo Yingdong admitted that for his face, it shouldn''t be a problem to win the shares of the two people in the Hongkong Electric Company. Therefore, Huo Yingdong immediately said: "Xia Yu, I should be able to help with this. I will come forward and buy some for you." Xia Yu beamed with joy and said, "That''s good, Lao Huo, thank you!" "No need! You have helped me so much, and I have never had a chance to help you, so I feel so bored!" Huo Yingdong said with a smile. "Lao Huo is right. We have been guided by you, and our conscience can''t get through!" Bao Yugang said in a joking tone, and Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. "Haha..." "Then I won''t say anything, I wish our friendship last forever!" Xia Yu said, raising the beer, the three of them met and drank gulps. After drinking, the three chatted about the Hongkong Electric. "Xia Yu, before the HEC was one of the top ten British-owned companies, but now it seems that the stock price has fallen a lot. Are you going to buy electricity or supplement your real estate strength?" "Either. The Hongkong Electric has a large number of plots with great value. Coupled with the sharp increase in oil prices, the cost of its power generation has risen sharply. On the contrary, the stock price has fallen against the market, which is suitable for acquisition." Xia Yu explained that he did not hide it. Since Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are planning to help him with the acquisition, they will definitely not be robbing the Hong Kong Island company, so it''s okay to tell them. Besides, after the battle of Xia Yu annexing Wharf, many Chinese companies in Hong Kong knew that many British companies were of great value, but the key was that many Chinese capitals were not strong enough to do what Xia Yu did. However, with the strength of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, there is still a risk to directly collide with the original four major consortia, but the acquisition of the next level or even the next level of British-funded companies is completely okay. You can''t offend Xia Yu and fight Xia Yu. Hongkong Electric Company. The two nodded in understanding, and Huo Yingdong thought for a while and reminded him: "The Hong Kong Electric Company is now building a large oil-fired power plant on Lamma Island. The investment is huge. I heard that it is expected to be completed in 1981. Xia Yu, if you are interested in electricity In terms of the industry, why not buy CLP Power? CLP Power occupies more than 70% of the power market in Hong Kong. I heard that power plants are also being built now. It is very difficult for HK Electric to catch up with CLP Power!" Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "It doesn''t matter, the market is low, the price is low. If the income is not so fast, the acquisition price is lower, but the Hongkong Electric has the power franchise on Hong Kong Island anyway, and it is a big deal to increase investment in the expansion of power plants." "CLP Power is in the hands of the Kadoorie family, and the equity is not as scattered as the Hongkong Electric. It is too difficult to acquire." There are only two giants in the power market in Hong Kong, namely, the Hong Kong Electric Light Company and China Light and Power Company Limited. Among them, the Hong Kong Electric Light Company was established earlier and was established in 1889. At that time, the entire Hong Kong economy and population were almost concentrated on Hong Kong Island. Land, the New Territories and Kowloon are very deserted, and the Hongkong Electric Company owns the power franchise on Hong Kong Island. Later, because of the development of Hong Kong Island and the limited presence of the Hong Kong Electric Company on Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Electric Company began to diversify and enter the real estate industry and engineering construction industry. Electricity business is no longer the only pillar. However, most of the power plants of the Hong Kong Electric Company are oil-fired power plants, which cause greater air pollution. The development of Hong Kong Island is getting better and better. The power plants located in the northern part of Hong Kong Island will have a greater impact on the health of residents in the urban area. Because of this, in September last year, under the intervention of the Hong Kong Government, the Hong Kong Electric Company was forced to relocate the power station near the urban area and then invest in the construction of a large-scale power plant on Lamma Island. Originally, the overall environment of Hong Kong was not good. Even if the real estate industry is on the rise, it cannot withstand the sudden large investment in power plants. However, the Hong Kong government pressured and public opinion forced it, and even the existing power plants could not keep up with the power supply. Therefore, the Hong Kong Electric Company had to bite the bullet and invest in power plants. Who knew that the revolution broke out in Iran, which caused the world''s oil prices to skyrocket. Almost all of the existing power plants of the Hongkong Electric Company burned oil, which greatly increased the cost. However, the electricity price was fixed by an agreement with the Hong Kong government. The lamp company has similar revenue, but its profits have plummeted. Even the power plant under construction on Lamma Island has cast a shadow over it. The capital market is the most sensitive. Therefore, the Hong Kong Electric Company¡¯s share price will fall against the market As for the other giant in the power industry in Hong Kong, China Light and Power Co., Ltd., established by Paul Chater, and gradually It was taken over by the Kadoorie family of the Xiangjiang Jewish family. After so many years, it has achieved holdings and has become one of the three major industries of the Kadoorie family. China Light and Power Company was founded in 1922 and owns the power franchise in the New Territories and Kowloon. With the development, Hong Kong Island cannot accommodate so many people. The New Territories and Kowloon have been developed on a large scale, and the industrial area has also moved to the New Territories and Kowloon. As a result, the demand for electricity in the two places has skyrocketed, and the China Light and Power Company therefore accounts for more than 70% of the electricity market. China Light and Power Corporation is also building a new power plant in Castle Peak, New Territories. It is in cooperation with Eastern Energy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Exxon Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the Rockefeller Consortium. The Castle Peak Power Plant is a coal-fired power plant and is more environmentally friendly than oil-fired power plants. Although it is more difficult to transport coal mines, coal-fired power generation is more stable than oil-fired power generation. After all, oil prices fluctuate much more than coal prices. To be honest, Xia Yu also has eyes on the China Light and Power Co., Ltd., but as he said, it is quite difficult. After consideration, he still chose to put the HEC in his mouth first. It just so happens that the Hongkong Electric is now at a low point due to various reasons. According to the historical trajectory, entering the 1980s, the Hongkong Electric will make rapid progress. Because of the real estate industry, the market value has exceeded 10 billion, making it one of the top ten British companies. Such potential stocks of gold must of course be seized. Besides, the electric power industry is a public service industry after all, and it involves people''s livelihood. As long as the acquisition of the Hongkong Electric, Xia Yu''s influence on Hong Kong Island will skyrocket, and thousands of households will be affected by him. PS: By the way, ask for a recommendation ticket, monthly pass or something, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 591: Lying and winning This trip to sea was originally intended to relax and connect with each other. It was a complete surprise that Xia Yu was able to reach an acquisition cooperation with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. After eating the grilled fish, they rested and chatted for a while, and the three continued to go fishing. The yacht did not return to the port until after four o''clock in the afternoon, and everyone went back to their homes. Bao Yugang moved quickly, and the next day, he transferred the equity to Xia Yu. Originally, the Hong Kong Electric Company was ranked 17th on the Heung Kong Enterprise Ranking, but because most of the shares of Heung Kong companies rose while the Hong Kong Electric Company declined against the market, the gap widened. At this time, the Hongkong Electric Company ranks 28th in the latest corporate rankings, with a market value of 1.98 billion Hong Kong dollars. Bao Yugang''s equity was sold to Xia Yu at a parity price based on the actual stock price. The 7.6% equity was sold at a transfer price of 150 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu also said that the premium was 20%, but Bao Yugang resolutely refused to accept the actual price. He also said that six years ago when he bought the shares, he was less than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price has now been earned. Bao Yugang''s attitude was very resolute, so Xia Yu did not refuse any more and accepted his kindness, so that the 7.6% equity of the Hongkong Electric Company fell silently into Xia Yu''s hands. Because it is necessary to help Xia Yu in the acquisition, exposure will cause great difficulty in the acquisition, so the equity transfer is very confidential and has not been disclosed. After transferring the equity to Xia Yu, Bao Yugang continued his action and asked a British director of the Hongkong Electric Company to play golf, with the purpose of purchasing his equity in the Hongkong Electric Company. On the other side, Huo Yingdong also quietly found his fellow villager. In order to help Xia Yu acquire the Hongkong Electric Company, both of them were very active. As the leader, Xia Yu did not sit idle and ordered Wang Qi to collect scattered stocks from the stock market. In the ensuing time, good news came one after another. In just five days, Bao Yugang acquired Xia Yu¡¯s shares in the hands of two British directors, a total of 13.5%. And Huo Yingdong also took the equity of two Chinese shareholders, totaling 13.2%. The two did not take Xia Yu''s penny of handling fees, and helped Xia Yu keep the purchase price very low, the most being only a 20% premium. Therefore, five days later, Xia Yu returned a total of 590 million Hong Kong dollars to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and his shareholding increased by 26.7%. Coupled with the 1.3% equity that Wang Qi acquired from the market, Xia Yu suddenly held a 35.6% equity in the Hongkong Electric Company. This acquisition can be said to be the easiest acquisition since Xia Yu was reborn. If he is allowed to do it himself, his contacts are not strong enough or strong enough. If he wants to acquire a large British company like the Hongkong Electric Company, he will definitely have some twists and turns. As it is now, he didn''t move much, just let Wang Qi quietly buy some stocks from the market. Now he has acquired 35.6% of the shares, becoming the actual largest shareholder. All this is inseparable from the full help of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and the benefits of the network are undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Even if Xia Yu lacks contacts, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have been operating in Xiangjiang for a lifetime, with contacts all over Xiangjiang, and with enough face, the difficulty of acquiring equity is quite low. Because of the signing of a confidentiality agreement, it is legally allowed not to change shareholder information within ten days, so except for the two parties in the transaction, no one else knows that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are acquiring shares in the Hongkong Electric Company. Xia Yu is the initiator. Later, Bao Yugang took aim at HSBC, the largest shareholder, and found Shen Bi. That''s right, HSBC is the largest shareholder of Hongkong Electric. It can be said that there is almost no HSBC in Hong Kong''s famous British company that is not a shareholder. The only difference lies in the number of shares held. When HSBC absorbs so many deposits, in addition to lending it out, it will also use the money to invest in appreciation, and the money will be converted into stocks of companies. In the Hong Kong Electric Company, HSBC has a shareholding ratio of 25.7%. Although it is the largest shareholder, it does not interfere in the company''s operations and handed over the operating rights to the recognized second largest shareholder. Now the Hongkong Electric Company is in a trough, and the oil price is difficult to drop in the short term. Therefore, it is destined that the Hongkong Electric Company will have a relatively long period of difficult operation. This year, the Hongkong Electric Company will not pay much dividends, and it is not bad if it does not lose money. Therefore, when Bao Yugang, a director of HSBC Bank, approached the door to acquire the shares, Shen Bi did not feel too embarrassed. He just talked about the price a little, and then transferred 25.7% of the shares to a 20% premium at a price of 610 million. Bao Yugang. As a result, Bao Yugang transferred the equity to Xia Yu again on the same day, which made Xia Yu''s equity in the Hongkong Electric Company soar to 61.3% and completed the absolute control of the Hongkong Electric Company. Xia Yu was unable to complain about lying down so easily, but it was definitely a good thing for him. Although the absolute holding was achieved, Xia Yu did not expose it so quickly. As long as there is no news from the outside world, he will continue to stubbornly strive to acquire more equity at a low price. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong continued to work on Xia Yu''s affairs, and Xia Yu had more thoughts on handling the business of the consortium. ... In Jiuding Building, Xia Yu took a long breath after processing a batch of documents, twisted her neck and relaxed. Li Qian immediately walked behind Xia Yu and massaged the acupuncture points on his head. Xia Yu enjoyed it, picked up the phone again, and dialed a number: "Jianning, come to my office." After speaking, he hung up the phone. In about ten seconds, a knock on the door sounded and Xia Yu let him in. A twenty-seven-year-old young man came to Xia Yu and stood upright and respectfully said: "Chairman!" Looking at the calm and steady youth in front of him, Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction, pointed to a pile of documents on the desktop, and instructed him: "I have instructed each company''s documents. You inform each company to send someone to pick it up. Follow me as soon as possible. Implementation of the requirements." "understand!" The young man responded, then picked up the file and asked again: "Chairman, is there anything else?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and said to him: "The Hong Kong government will hold a land auction in a few days. Then you will go with me and Liu Shihao. You have not been here long, and you have learned more about the information in the land album these days. And the situation of Jiuding Real Estate Group." The young man suddenly smiled and responded loudly: "Yes!" After speaking, the young man exited Xia Yu¡¯s office with a little excitement and was taken by the chairman to participate in the land auction. This showed that the chairman valued him. He lamented his good luck in his heart. He doubted it, and estimated the whole work. No one in Xiangjiang has his luck. When the youth left, Li Qian asked curiously: "Xia Yu, you seem to value him very much. There are not many people who can be valued by you!" Xia Yu caressed Li Qian''s jade hand, and said with a smile: "He is indeed very potential and innocent, and he is worth training." "Oh!" Li Qian answered softly, her face thoughtful. The young man''s name was Huo Jianning. He had just come to Xia Yu for five days. Li Qian didn''t know who Huo Jianning was. Could he still be unclear? The powerful general next to Li Jiacheng in the past, the emperor of Hong Kong who earned 150 billion yuan for Li Jiacheng from a single business, has indelible credits in energy, telecommunications, terminals, real estate and other businesses. It can be said that Li Jiacheng¡¯s Huo Jianning contributed to the empire''s development to the future. If you have to describe it, then Huo Jianning is Li Jiacheng''s Xiao He. In this life, Huo Jianning was cut off by Xia Yu. It was absolutely accidental. It was not Xia Yu deliberately. Xia Yugang was also very surprised when he knew it. Since last year, the companies under the Jiuding Consortium have continued to expand or renew, so recruitment has never stopped. Huo Jianning, who had just returned from the United States, took the initiative to apply for the Wellcome Supermarket Company of Jiuding Retail Group. Because of its strong ability and outstanding performance, Zhou Cheng, the general manager of the Wellcome Supermarket Company, saw it as a key training target. Because the Jiuding Consortium is getting bigger and bigger, Xia Yu is incapable of doing it again, and Li Qian has been with her all the time, which makes it inconvenient for various companies to connect with Xia Yu. Therefore Xia Yu specially set up a chairman¡¯s office to help him connect with various companies. And deal with some trivial matters. Because the assistance of the chairman''s office and the position of secretary can access the most core secrets of the Jiuding Consortium, it is improper to recruit outsiders rashly. Therefore, Xia Yu ordered each company to recommend talented and potential young people, and then he selected to enrich the chairman''s office. All companies are doing their best to select the best young people. Huo Jianning is the person recommended by Wellcome Supermarket. Although the general manager Zhou Cheng was very reluctant, he also knew that the chairman was the most involved, and the recommendation was not small, so he resolutely recommended Huo Jianning, who had returned from studying in the United States. After that, Huo Jianning was recognized by Xia Yu and chatted alone for a while. After confirming that he was correct, he was appointed as the secretary of the chairman''s office, a dozen secretaries and assistants in the management office. Although it was only five days, Xia Yu quietly observed that Huo Jianning was very capable. With a bachelor of arts, professional accountant qualifications and a degree in financial management, he handled the work of the chairman''s office with ease. Xia Yu also deliberately tested him several times, asking him to comment on the documents submitted by several companies, and all gave Xia Yu''s scornful answers. I still remember the past life, it seems that Huo Jianning was only 32 years old, he became the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa, and when he was 33 years old, he became the director of Cheung Kong Holdings. He can be in a high position at a young age, and he can move forward step by step, which shows that his ability is good and his progress is rapid. It¡¯s rare to see such a man of the era who can keep up with his development. Of course, Xia Yu must be carefully cultivated. Therefore, he has decided in his heart that he will gradually contact Huo Jianning with many important matters in the future, improve his vision and ability, and let him play more quickly. Great contribution. I believe that in this life, under Xia Yu''s careful training, Huo Jianning''s growth height is definitely much higher than the previous life. As for Li Jiacheng without Huo Jianning? Xia Yu can only say nonchalantly, whocare?

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 592: Dig gold again Unconsciously, on the day when the Hong Kong government held the land auction, the time was set to start at three in the afternoon, and the auction site was set in a large conference room inside the government''s government. Xia Yu came together with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. They said when they received the number. The three of them were all close to the front and they would be in the same row. The three of them are all top gangsters in Hong Kong, so once they appeared, they attracted much attention. Xia Yu swept to the huge conference room and found that many people had come, and there were dozens less to mention, such as Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Zhao Congyan, Xu Shifen, Wang Dehui, etc., and more of the lower grades. Such as Zhou Yongtai, Lei Juekun, Wu Zhaolin, Deng Rushan and others. Of course, in addition to the big Chinese, there are also many British businessmen, such as Swire Properties, Wheelock, Land Group, and Hutchison Whampoa. As for the others who have not yet arrived, Xia Yu believes that they will not miss this event. After all, this time, the Hong Kong government took out 15 plots of land for auction at one time, of which the land on Hong Kong Island accounted for half, and the value was very high. It is only natural to be able to attract the entire Hong Kong real estate business. This time, Xia Yu brought Liu Shihao and Huo Jianning. Liu Shihao is the general manager of Jiuding Real Estate Development Company. He will be asked to come forward in the future. It happened to take this opportunity to become more familiar with the auction process and to be familiar with his colleagues. As for Huo Jianning, bringing him here is purely to meet the world and accelerate his growth. Because it hasn''t started yet, Xia Yu and the others didn''t take the seat so quickly. Instead, they scattered with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and took Liu Shihao and Huo Jianning to find someone to chat. It would be great if they could test some intelligence. It is a pity that all those who are qualified to come are successful businessmen, all of whom are foxes. After a little chat, although all of them are full of enthusiastic smiles, they have not found useful information. With the passage of time, under the reminder of the staff, everyone was seated according to the post card. Xia Yu roughly observed that there were at least forty real estate developers, large and small. But although the land released by the Hong Kong government this time has doubled compared with the previous time, there are only 15 cases, which means that about three companies can grab a piece of land. If big giants like the Land Group, Hutchison Whampoa, Swire Properties, New World Development, etc. eat two or three deals, it will be even more difficult for others to get the soup. With the strength of the real estate giants, they want to let them eat only one plot. , Unrealistic! Seeing the auctioneer on the stage, Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong had their eyes intertwined, and the three of them had counts. The three of them had talked about the momentum of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu knew that the real estate industry in Xiangjiang would be very hot in the next few years, and house prices could double in one year, but the others in Xiangjiang did not know a clear future like him. Therefore, compared with the others, Xia Yu and the others are more determined, and their psychological expectations based on the selected land are also higher. This time, Xia Yu has made up his mind to eat at least three plots of land! Soon, the land auction officially began. The land in the first auction belongs to the warming field, and the most valuable pieces of land will not be put in the front, so that everyone will not be able to sell it at a high price. Compared with the land behind, the value of this land is in the middle and lower grades. It is located in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon. The current land is neither too good nor too bad. The official starting price is 60 million Hong Kong dollars. It stands to reason that this plot of land should be given to small and medium real estate companies, and the big giants generally won''t end up. However, Xia Yu in the previous life had been to Xiangjiang, just knowing that the area where the plot was located later became extremely prosperous. Just because one year later, the MTR was revised from Central to Kwun Tong, and the land was next to the subway station. Therefore, this land is a hidden small gold mine. The value of 60 million Hong Kong dollars is completely the price of cabbage. According to Xia Yu¡¯s estimation, as long as the subway is repaired there, this land will not be sold for 400 million in a year. Come down. If it is re-developed, it will have a profit of nearly one billion. Needless to say, grab it! "No. 32 bid 67 million, is there any more?" After the auctioneer announced an ordinary bid, he habitually scanned the audience to find the next placard. He was shocked when he saw this, because Liu Shihao, seat 8 directly increased the price by 10 million, not one million or one million. . However, the auctioneer has experienced strong winds and waves after all. Although this situation was somewhat unexpected, it was still acceptable. So he shouted: "No. 8 bid for 77 million!" The top number plate, coupled with a sudden and sudden increase of 10 million, completely does not follow the routine of the card, it is completely determined to win. The big real estate giants who hadn''t cared much at first turned their eyes to each other. After seeing Xia Yu who was smiling at Liu Shihao''s side, they all wondered what Xia Yu wanted to do, or what hidden value the land had. But now it is auctioned, and the time is too short for them to think. The former No. 32 real estate agent looked bitter, and the stock **** unexpectedly fell in love with this piece of land, struggling in his heart, sighed and chose to give up. Originally, several small and medium-sized real estate developers who wanted to compete also chose to sell the stock **** for a face. After all, the stock **** made the first shot. Not to mention whether they can compete and win, even if they get it, they will also sweep the stock god''s face. "The 35th has a price increase of one million!" However, there are always people with iron heads, such as the number 35. After holding the cards, he subconsciously looks at Xia Yu. Never thought that Xia Yu and others would not look at him, Liu Shihao raised the red sign again. "Okay, 10 million yuan increase on the 8th!" "Now bid 88 million! Are there any more?" The face of No.35 suddenly stiffened, and he struggled for a while, only to shift the target. The stock **** has made it clear that he wants this piece of land, and if he continues to grab it, he will inevitably get angry. There are 14 pieces behind, forget it... There are not a few people who have the same idea, so after Liu Shihao raised the placard , although you look at me and I look at you on the scene, no one raised the placard, which made the auctioneer a little anxious. "88 million for the first time!" "88 million... the second time!" "88 million... the third time!" "Boom!" "Deal!" "Congratulations to Mr. 8 for the price of 88 million for the auction of land 1!" Although the auctioneer was not reconciled, he had no choice but to comfort himself. At least the price premium was 46.7%, which is not too much of a failure. "Papa..." There was sporadic applause at the scene, and Xia Yu smiled at the others. If the first goal is successfully won, Jiuding Real Estate Group will add another point! Then, the auctioneer began to auction the second piece of land, located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, with a starting price of 80 million Hong Kong dollars. This time Xia Yu did not let Liu Shihao raise his placard. But because the giant Jiuding Real Estate took the first piece of land, the situation became a bit blurred. Many small and medium-sized real estate companies became nervous and adjusted their own auction strategies, so they wanted to take advantage of the giant¡¯s not ending. Next piece of land. It''s a pity that even though Jiuding Real Estate didn''t end, Huo Yingdong, who had already planned to stockpile the land, also raised his placard, which shocked everyone. What happened to the auction today? Why is the real boss so impatient? Zheng Yutong, He Hongshen, Li Zhaoji and others cheered up and pondered the situation that had become weird from the beginning. Huo Yingdong, who knew well in his heart, was also fierce, showing the boss''s decisive and domineering attitude. He also raised 10 million cards every time, completely determined to win, and scared the heads of small and medium real estate companies. In the end, No. 2 land was acquired by Huo Yingdong at a price of 121 million yuan, and everyone applauded and congratulated. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 593: Kill 4 parties Next is Lot 3, located in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island, with a starting price of 80 million Hong Kong dollars. Among the trio, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong have already taken action, and the ship king, who is determined to go ashore, is also unwilling to show weakness. This time they have prepared a billion Hong Kong dollars in funds, and they want to make a big splash in the real estate industry. Two plots came down. After a fight, Lot 3 was bought by Bao Yugang for HK$125 million. After the auctioneer''s announcement, the entire conference room was silent, as if the sky before the rainstorm, the thick dark clouds contained billowing thunder, and the atmosphere was depressing. As long as it is an individual, everyone knows that the situation is weird, and everyone''s eyes are turning back and forth on the faces of Xia Yu, Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang sitting in the same row. The heads of some small and medium-sized real estate companies have already felt a sense of despair in their hearts, feeling that this time they are likely to be disappointed. "Chairman, I think we have to change our strategy. This time it is too difficult to win the two plots of Plan A." The assistant sitting next to Zheng Yutong couldn''t help but reminded him in a low voice. Zheng Yutong nodded insignificantly, his face sinking like water, his solemn eyes swept across the faces of Xia Yu and the others, and then looked at Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, Norman Shi Yahuai, John Madden and others. Hong Xiaolian, who was in the 12th seat, reminded Li Jiacheng in a low voice: "Boss, depending on the situation, Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong should have colluded. They want to eat more land, and the price will definitely increase later. High, the funds we prepare may not be enough." Li Jiacheng nodded, looked at Xia Yu and others deeply, squinted his eyes and thought, and at the same time whispered: "Abandon the original plan, and I will personally raise the placard later." "Yes!" Hong Xiaolian replied with a serious expression. Although she is Li Jiacheng''s capable man, she is not qualified to be the owner of the company in the face of such an unknown major change. At the same time, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji and others are also preparing to change their plans. What''s more, they want to make an early move and take a parcel of land before the situation intensifies, so as not to be a real estate giant but lose their face. If you can''t hang up, let alone the benefits. The auctioneer standing at the top also knew that the situation was out of control. The dull atmosphere made him feel depressed and worried that it would not be able to control it. He immediately started the auction of Lot 4. Sure enough, Lot 4 had just announced the starting price of 90 million Hong Kong dollars. It seemed like a good deal. Seven or eight small and medium-sized real estate companies raised their placards almost at the same time, and the atmosphere immediately exploded. Check and read the price. Xia Yu could not appreciate this No. 4 land, because this land located on Hong Kong Island, at a distance of less than 500 meters, Jiuding Real Estate Group has a larger land, and it has already planned to build a type A office building. The value of this lot 4 will be affected. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were also reminded by Xia Yu, so they both remained silent. This situation made the person who was secretly watching secretly breathe out, and then competed more fiercely for the plot. Unexpectedly, when the price rose to 121 million, Li Jiacheng made a bold move, raising the price to 131 million, and in the consternation of everyone, he put the No. 4 land in the bag. No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 are all the real bosses. Xia Yu put on a desperate posture and scared everyone away. He paid 192 million Hong Kong dollars. The price of No. 8 land was won, and No. 6 land was also taken by Bao Yugang. As a result, a total of 8 lots have been auctioned so far, and 5 of them have fallen into the hands of the Xia Yu trio, and Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and Norman Shiyahuaige of Swire Group have also won a piece of land. Xia Yu also secretly observed that, although the largest land group in the Hong Kong real estate industry has taken action on the four parcels of land, they have not persisted until the end. The new representative of the Keswick family last year was a little bit shy and shy away from the real estate leader. It''s all lost. Xia Yu had guesses, but he was not sure, everything would depend on what happened later. Halfway through the auction, most people didn''t get a hair, and everyone was anxious, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became a little impatient. For Land No. 9, it was Huo Yingdong''s turn to take it down with a price of 230 million Hong Kong dollars. By this time, the other bigwigs really didn''t want to back down. Land No. 10 was cut down by Swire Group, Land No. 11 was cut down by Zheng Yutong, Land No. 12, Bao Yugang once again showed his power, showing the aura of the richest Chinese man, and took it at a price of 390 million. So far, one of them has won three plots of land, and the scenery has covered Xia Yu. The last three parcels, and the three most valuable parcels, are all on Hong Kong Island and they are all large in size. Two are on Hong Kong Island and one is in the central area of ??Wan Chai District. "The next auction site No. 13, located in Central, Hong Kong Island, the specific value, everyone here knows better than me, I won''t say much, the auction will start immediately, and the starting price will be 230 million!" "Two hundred and forty million!" "Two hundred fifty million!" ... "Three hundred million!" It is already one of the last three opportunities, and the land located in Central has extremely high commercial value. It is more than enough to build 12 commercial office buildings. Therefore, the competition is very fierce. The price increase is all 10 million to 10 million, and the million brand is completely ineligible to appear. The small and medium-sized real estate business, which has long lost the opportunity to compete, recognizes the reality and is now watching with great interest the giants fighting bayonet. "470 million!" Xia Yu looked indifferent, raised his placard to offer, defeated the last opponent Wheelock Group, and won the 13th place in one fell swoop. The high price of the No. 13 land spurred the competition for the No. 14 Wan Chai district. The winning bid was 530 million yuan, which was taken by Hutchison Whampoa. The last piece of land No. 15 is also the one with the highest official starting price. It is located in Xiangjiang Central. The location is better than land No. 13, just around the subway station. It was originally an old-fashioned public rental house in the Hong Kong government. It is ready to be demolished and moved away from the Central Commercial District. Area. This land is not only in a good location, but also a lot larger than the No. 13 land. As soon as the bid was announced, the price kept rushing up like a rocket. Except for the three of Xia Yu, all the giants sitting there are gone. As the price got higher and higher, some people gradually withdrew. In the end, there were only three players from Swire Group, Henderson Land Development and Sun Hung Kai Properties. "Five hundred and thirty million!" At this point in the auction, there was already a anger. Even the big guys couldn''t care about it. Norman Shi Yahuai''s cold voice sounded, and the price was increased by 10 million Hong Kong dollars again, bringing the price to 530 million! Li Zhaoji, who has already won a piece of land, has insufficient funds gritted his teeth and chose to give up. According to his company¡¯s accurate analysis, the highest transaction price for this plot of land should be around 500 million yuan. However, due to unexpected circumstances, the current price has exceeded a lot. "Five hundred and forty million!" Guo Desheng, who hadn''t got a piece of land, was not reconciled, his face was serious, and he increased the price by 10 million again! Norman Shi Yahuai followed without hesitation: "Five hundred and fifty million!" "Five hundred and sixty million!" Guo Desheng''s face was ruddy and he made the last fight! Norman Shi Yahuai tit-for-tat, pressed again: "Five hundred and seventy million!" "call!" Guo Desheng let out a long breath, closed his eyes and chose to give up. Norman Shi Yahuai showed the winner''s smile and looked at the auctioneer, meaning it was self-evident. "Five hundred and seventy million for the first time!" "Five hundred and seventy million... the second time!" Just as the auctioneer shouted prices one after another, no one stood up and competed. Norman Shi Yahuai''s face could not be concealed with a smile. That kind of complacency made many Chinese bigwigs disgusted. But they can¡¯t help it. After the Jardine consortium was dismembered, it doesn¡¯t count except HSBC. The Swire consortium is already the largest consortium in Hong Kong. In terms of strength, it needs Bao Yugang, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, and Zheng Yutong to be able to compete with The Swire Consortium is on the same level, and Guo Desheng has no choice but to admit defeat. At this time, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at Xia Yu subconsciously. They remember that Xia Yu said that he was interested in this parcel during the discussion. Xia Yu smiled at Bao Yugang and others, looked at Norman Shi Yahuai, showed a slightly mocking smile, and slowly raised the sign. PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket and subscription, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 594: Staring at the hapless guy again "Six hundred million!" Xia Yu said two words indifferently, the audience was silent, and Norman Shi Yahuai''s triumphant smile suddenly froze on his face. "Reverse, the stock **** actually made another move at the critical moment!" "I thought that the king of the land would be taken away by the British consortium again. I didn''t expect that the stock **** was the nemesis of the British consortium." "There is a good show. It exceeds the value of the land by 100 million, and directly increases the price by 30 million. It is very determined. I wonder if Norman Shiyahuai dare to follow?" ... After a moment of silence, the court became noisy, and many Chinese bigwigs looked at Xia Yu with complex expressions, shocking, vigilant, admiring, and so on. But no matter what, it is definitely not as complicated as Norman Shi Yahuai''s mood. Norman Shi Yahuai was already happy, but he didn''t expect Xia Yu''s light and fluttering words to directly knock him down into the abyss. Norman Shi Yahuai was flushed with blood, and his face flushed, but he was able to become the helm of the Taikoo consortium. The city government and self-control were not bad, so he forced his emotions down. Xia Yu''s bid of 600 million has exceeded his psychological expectations. Before he came, he had already made a decision. The highest bid for this piece of land was 520 million. Who knows that only one piece of land in front was obtained, so the prepared funds are surplus, plus considering that after this auction, the land price in Xiangjiang will rise again, so the expected price of land 15 will be adjusted to 500 million Seventy million. But this price has reached its peak, and now Xia Yu has directly increased the price by 30 to 600 million. Based on reason, he will not follow. It''s just that now he has the embarrassment of being beaten, which makes him very unhappy! Should we maliciously raise the price to pit Xia Yu? A thought came to Norman Shi Yahuai, and he glanced at Xia Yu faintly. Unexpectedly, his sight happened to collide with Xia Yu, and he saw Xia Yu smile at him friendly. This strange attitude made Norman Shi Yahuai frown slightly, wondering what Xia Yu meant. "600 million for the first time!" At this moment, the time came, and seeing that Norman Shi Yahuai hadn''t followed the price, the auctioneer had to offer a reminder despite regret. The other audiences stayed aside, looking at Norman Shi Yahuai with interest, wanting to know what choice he made. "Mr. Xia, take a piece of land for 600 million yuan, don''t you think the price is too great?" Norman Shi Yahuai suddenly tentatively said. He wanted to find out whether Xia Yu really wanted or wanted to cheat him. With Xia Yu''s sinister and treacherous things, he could not rule out the possibility of wanting to cheat him. Swire Properties, a subsidiary of the Swire Consortium, has already been listed. If you take a piece of land and get publicized, the stock price will definitely be affected. Last year, Xia Yu dared to magnify some of the mistakes and loopholes of the Jardine Consortium to affect the stock price, and he would never be afraid of his Swire Consortium. "Mr. Shi Yahuai, I have just raised a sum of money, and I always find a place to stay. Now I just have the opportunity to simply take the land, so as not to put it in the financial market to invest in a company that is not good." Xia Yu explained with a smile, very friendly. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s piercing when it reaches Norman Shiyahuai¡¯s ears. Doesn¡¯t it show that there is no place to spend money, and it¡¯s a great reminder to use it for finance without real estate. There are many other bigwigs who heard the potential meaning in these words, and couldn''t help but smile Nou. What''s more, someone quietly sighed: "With the confidence to threaten the Taikoo Consortium, the entire Xiangjiang River is also the **** Xia Yu, powerful." "Six hundred million... the second time! Is there any other gentleman who wants to bid?" The words of the auctioneer appeared at the right time, reminding that the time was only the last ten seconds. The atmosphere on the scene solidified instantly, and everyone was waiting for the final result. Norman Shiyahuai was struggling fiercely in his heart, and finally chose stability as the main reason. It was not guilty that a land exceeding the price conflicted with Xia Yu, and was targeted by financial bandits like Xia Yu. Based on the situation of many listed companies under the Taikoo Consortium, The cost of trouble is even greater. After figuring it out, Norman Shi Yahuai smiled at Xia Yu and said: "Mr. Xia, since you plan to make a big splash in the real estate industry, then I will be the beauty of adults." In a word, he was very decent, and he exposed his embarrassment directly. It seemed that Xia Yu could get the land because of his own face. Xia Yu sneered in his heart, but kept smiling, and thanked Norman Shi Yahuai: "Then thank you Mr. Shi Yahuai." Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai''s final moments of retreat, many bigwigs who were not too big to watch the excitement secretly sigh. There are many people here who have refreshed their views on Xia Yu, and they have forced Norman Shi Yahuai of the Swire Consortium to retreat, and they can bear it if they are angry. It can be seen that although the Jardine Consortium incident has passed for nearly half a year, the stock god¡¯s fierce reputation and power remain undiminished. Counter increase. "600 million for the third time!" "Congratulations, Mr. Xia, on winning land number 15!" "Papa Papa..." There was fierce applause to the audience, not only celebrating Xia Yu''s capture of the king of the land, but also celebrating the reduction of the prestige of the British consortium. After that, everyone started to leave, and the people who took the plot went to sign the bid and contract. ... The next day, news of the land auction held by the Hong Kong government spread throughout Hong Kong. Fifteen parcels of land, with a total bid price of HK$3.25 billion, a record high for auctions over the years! The media claimed that this was a victory for Chinese capital, because of the 15 parcels of land, 13 parcels of land were taken by Chinese real estate tycoons. Among them, Xia Yu and Bao Yugang were in the limelight, especially Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Real Estate Development Company, which won four parcels with a total bid price of 1.35 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 41.5% of the total bid price. Almost one person won half the sky. . In particular, Xia Yu competed with Norman Shi Yahuai of the Swire Consortium to win the land king at a high price of 600 million yuan, which made the citizens talk about itJiuding Real Estate''s name resounded throughout Xiangjiang. The real estate developed by Jiuding Real Estate has been sought after and has a profound impact. Before the heat of this real estate auction subsided, another news from the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange shocked the entire Xiangjiang. Jiuding Real Estate Group holds 73.5% of the shares of Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Company, exercises the right of absolute controlling shareholder, and directly submits a delisting application to the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange, with a 20% premium, and a price of 8.65 Hong Kong dollars per share. With a market value of nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company is ranked twelfth in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The delisting of such a large company will have a serious impact on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. But there is no way. Jiuding Real Estate Group holds absolute equity, and the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange cannot stop it. In addition, the man behind this is the stock **** Xia Yu. If the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange wants to obstruct it, he must carefully consider it, lest he does not obstruct it, but irritates Xia Yu again, and the future losses will be even greater. Therefore, despite the unwillingness in my heart, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange still had to pinch its nose to approve the delisting application of the Hongkong Electric Company, and at the same time locked the stock price of the Hongkong Electric Company for the first time. Xiangjiang was shocked again. Although many investors who held the Hongkong Electric Company were unwilling, they had to line up to trade stocks at Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. commissioned by Jiuding Real Estate Group. The momentum of Jiuding Real Estate Group is the same at one time! Xia Yu didn''t care about the clamor of public opinion and the reaction of British and Chinese leaders. At this time, he quietly met Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong again, because he discovered another interesting situation and sensed a perfect opportunity! The target is the Land Group. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 595: Plan against Land Group The conspiracy with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong was because both of them held a part of the shares of the Land Group, and they had favorable conditions for colluding with the Land Group. The fact that the two held shares in the Land Group had to go back six months. When the Jardine consortium fell apart, Xia Yu concentrated on acquiring companies such as Jardine Insurance, Jinmen Construction, Jardine Auto, Jardine Insurance, but instead ignored the largest land group in the Jardine Consortium and let this biggest piece of cake attract The attention of other bigwigs. Seeing an opportunity at that time, big men from all walks of life bite the Land Group together, including Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang. Although the Keswick family later survived by docking their tails and retained control of the Land Group, the shareholding structure of Land Group has undergone earth-shaking changes and many predators have entered. It is easy to get in, but it is hard to get out. All predators are ambitious, how can they be willing to quit? Therefore, since last year, the Keswick family has been very tortured. After the deaths of the three of Keswick and his son, the Keswick family has no one. The new leader Dick Keswick elected is not at all of the many Chinese leaders. Opponents, not to mention that he is facing not one, but a group. Being able to survive until now still benefits from the advantages of equity. However, the business situation of the Land Group is not good now. One big reason is that the major Chinese leaders have reached an agreement to drag the Land Group''s back legs and make it poorly managed, forcing the Keswick family to withdraw. All the bigwigs hold a few percent of the shares of Land Group. If the company loses money, they will only occupy a small head. On the contrary, the Keswick family has suffered heavy losses and the pressure is completely unbalanced. As for the temporary loss, no one cares, because everyone is not stupid and knows that the stock price is not proportional to the company''s assets. Even if it changes hands, it is not a low stock price and cannot lose money. As for who will eat it, or what can be eaten by the time, it is a matter of the Chinese people, and each will have its own ability. Anyway, the premise of the default is to let the Land Group rotten in the pot of Chinese capital. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, depending on the situation, the Keswick family can''t stand it." Xia Yu said with a smile. Although she has not been in Xiangjiang for a few months and did not always pay attention to the Keswick family and the Land Group, she can see the reality of the Land Group from the land auction. At the auction, Dick Keswick, the CEO and chairman of the Land Group, was present in person, but did not win a lot of land. The Land Group of the dignified Xiangjiang First Real Estate Group has been using soy sauce during the rising period of the real estate industry. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened. From this, it can be inferred that the Keswick family is not enterprising enough, and there are signs of shrinking. Bao Yugang laughed: "It is true. At the board meeting half a month ago, we tested the attitude of Dick Keswick. We asked for more loans and land, which was rejected by Dick Keswick. He doesn''t have the guts and determination." "But I guess, it''s very likely that you scared the Keswick family last year, and they still have a shadow now, even the bank can''t believe it, and I''m afraid of being pitted by our United Bank." After that, Bao Yugang couldn''t help but move. Huo Yingdong also agreed with a smile: "Yes, I think it¡¯s almost the same as Old Bao said. Last year, even HSBC sold them. Given the current internal intrigue of the Keswick family, Dick Keswick even It''s not enough to keep up, and it''s normal to cringe." "In my opinion, the Keswick family is afraid that they can''t stand it. They have a tendency to return to Britain." Xia Yu thought for a while and analyzed. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other and both nodded slightly. Bao Yugang said in a deep voice, "It is not ruled out that this is possible, but there is not enough information now, and it is not absolutely certain." "Just make sure they have this idea, then push them back and force them to go." Xia Yu said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "Then we will act separately, find out the current situation of the Keswick family, and then decide according to the situation." Huo Yingdong said with a smile. "Since it''s here, there is no need to hurry. Let''s discuss the expected plan first." "According to the current stock price of the Land Group, it is certain that the market value is far lower than the actual asset value, mainly due to the lack of capital in the Hong Kong financial market, which is very beneficial to us." "If the three of us acquire the Land Group together, it is definitely not easy to divide a company. We will simply split the Land Group into parts according to the equity ratio and each person will take part of the assets. How about this?" Xia Yu suggested. "I think it''s OK, it''s fair!" "I have no objection!" "And even if the Keswick family can be forced to withdraw at that time, they will not be willing to sell them at a low price. There will definitely be other people bidding at that time. In order to avoid paying a greater price, we will have to do other people. Don''t prepare to withdraw either." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong agreed, and then Huo Yingdong proposed another possibility. "Since it is to divide up assets, if the acquisition is really impossible, then the cake can only be divided among a few more people." Xia Yu said nonchalantly. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong nodded in agreement with Xia Yu''s opinion. After discussing for a long time again, the three of them dispersed and went to investigate. Ma Qianjun deserves to be born as a killer, and he has also been the boss. With the support of Xia Yu''s large amount of funds, Luo Wang has established its stronghold in Southeast Asia and island countries. Although it is not perfect, the foundation has been laid. As for Hong Kong local? Luo Wang''s intelligence capabilities are the most powerful. Under Xia Yu''s order, the Luo Wang immediately operated quickly, and all the methods such as portable wiretapping, room monitoring, and telephone monitoring were used. Information about the Keswick family was continuously collected by Luo Wang and finally presented to Xia Yu. Soon, Xia Yu was able to determine that the Keswick family was full of internal contradictions, abandoning the Xiangjiang Foundation to stop losses in time, and returning to the UK with a loud voice. According to investigations, after the death of the three of Keswick and his son, there were five forces within the Keswick family. The current owner, Dick Keswick, has the largest number of people and the strongest strength. He holds the most shares in various companies, including the 12.2% equity of Land Group. Dick Keswick believes that Xiangjiang still has a chance. The surviving strength of the Syk family can still be regarded as the top family in Hong Kong, and there is no need to return to the UK. The second largest force is Dick Keswick¡¯s cousin, Claude Keswick, who holds equity in companies such as Jardine Shipping, Real Estate Property, Jardine Real Estate Investment, ECO Property, and Land Group. The most valuable is the 11.8% stake in the Land Group, which is not less than Dick Keswick. However, Claude Keswick is a firm conservative. He believes that the environment in Xiangjiang is no longer suitable for the Keswick family to survive, and the Keswick family cannot withstand the erosion of the Chinese capital. Instead of being sucked up in the end, It is better to clean up the assets as soon as possible and return to the UK to invest in rebuilding the family. The third pulse, Bolton Keswick, has a 10.5% equity stake in Hongkong Land Holdings among its assets. Originally, it remained neutral during the dispute and did not make a statement, but after MacLehose came back north, its attitude changed to Returned to the United Kingdom The fourth line of Rodney Keswick, headed by a line headed by Rodney Keswick, holds a 9.4% stake in the Land Group. He is also conservative and thinks that he cannot withstand the expansion of Chinese capital. In the end, he will leave in a desperate manner. It is better to reduce losses in advance and return to Britain. The fifth pulse is led by Phil Keswick. Among the assets it holds, there is an 8.4% stake in the Land Group. Although Phil Keswick in this pulse is the leader of the pulse, it is the leader of the five pulses. The youngest of the people, with more effort, thinks that he can recreate the glory of the Keswick family, so he advocates continuing to work hard in Xiangjiang and let the Jardine consortium rise again. In the original five channels, the two channels stay and the two channels retreat. The overall strength of both sides are similar. In the end, Dick Keswick won the support of the neutral Burton Keswick in the third channel and boarded Keswick is the new head of the family. But the world is fickle. After MacLehose went north, Burton Keswick changed his mind again, thinking that it was a big risk to stay in Xiangjiang. His stance changed in this vein, and the main retreat suddenly had an overwhelming right to speak, which made Dick Keswick not take a piece of land on behalf of Land Group at the real estate auction. Unexpectedly, after the death of Keswick and his son, the Keswick family would become so complicated, which is interesting. But this is exactly what Xia Yu intended! After figuring out the situation of the Keswick family, Xia Yu did not waste time, and immediately called Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, the three of them together, and finally reached an agreement. Not to mention, there is a rare opportunity to help the Keswick family and let them return to England with peace of mind. Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of Huaxia people, and the things that should be brought back must be brought back! PS: By the way, ask for a ticket, I wish you a happy weekend! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 596: Top Chinese Master A conspiracy against the Keswick family and the Land Group unfolded quietly. Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others are like poisonous snakes in the dark, full of patience, approaching step by step, gradually eroding, and finally delivering a fatal blow. Although this plan will consume a relatively long time, everything is worth it relative to the possible results. Just when Xia Yu had free time, Hua Shengshi, who had been in Xiangjiang for a long time, found him excitedly. The antiques brought back from the United Kingdom are filled with the underground treasure room of Xia Yu¡¯s current villa under the layout of the Huashengshi. However, because there are too many antiques, Xia Yu had to take an unsold building not far away. The villa was opened to store antiques. After storage, Hua Shengshi disappeared, and Xia Yu only knew that he was going to build a private museum. Unexpectedly, Huashengshi, which had disappeared for a few days, suddenly appeared again, and he excitedly told Xia Yu that he had found a candidate for the design museum, and he had also talked about it initially. Now Xia Yu, the principal, will come to negotiate. . Seeing that Hua Shengshi was very confident, Xia Yu asked him curiously who he was looking for. He did not expect that the name Hua Shengshi said made Xia Yu very surprised, even pleasantly surprised. Surprised Xia Yu did not waste time and immediately let Huashengshi lead the way. Soon I found the person I was looking for in the dormitory of the School of Architecture of Xiangjiang University. Chinese American architect IM Pei! A person who is already well-known but has not yet resonated in the world, but in the future, no one knows everyone, who is known as the "last master of modern architecture". This future Chinese legend has already become well-known in the United States at this time. He has designed the Franklin National Bank Building, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the East Building of the National Gallery of Art, the Indiana University Art Museum, the Kennedy Library, etc. After 14 years, the Kennedy Library, which will be completed in October this year, is to commemorate the late US President John F. Kennedy. After completion, its disruptive design caused a huge sensation in the American architecture community and will be awarded by the end of this year. The American Architectural Society Gold Medal, the nature of this award is similar to the Nobel Prize in the field of architecture, and his reputation has been well-known throughout the United States. After he is well-known in the United States and the world, he will also design the Morgan Building, China Fragrant Hills Hotel, Xiangjiang Bank of China Tower, Louvre Glass Pyramid, China Bank of China Headquarters Building, German History Museum, China Embassy in the United States, *Art Museum And other extremely important buildings. It can be said that Pei is the most accomplished person in the field of Chinese architecture, even now. Xia Yu was very surprised that Huashengshi was able to find Pei, and Pei initially agreed. After some understanding, it turns out that Huashengshi had a lot of friendship with Pei''s father, and personally had a good relationship with Pei. It just so happened that the Kennedy Library was about to be completed, and only the finishing touch was left. I.e. Pei did not need to bother, so he came to Xiangjiang to exchange and learn, enrich his knowledge and find new inspiration. And Xiangjiang can communicate with him only the professors and teachers of the School of Architecture of Xiangjiang University. In order to facilitate exchanges and learning, the school arranged temporary dormitories for Pei I.M. for his stay. "Mr. Bei, hello!" After the meeting, Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with Pei IM. Pei is fifty-one years old, but he may be overuse of his brain and his hair is thinner. He has a very friendly attitude. Although the first time I saw Xia Yu, he was still gentle, not flattering or arrogant. His attitude seemed very peaceful. There is a scent of books all over the body, which makes people feel that this is a cultural person at first glance. "Mr. Xia, hello, the humble house is simple, please forgive me, please sit down!" IM Pei tidied up the architectural design drawings placed on the table and stool, and said with a smile. "Thank you, don''t stand up either!" Hua Shengshi also exchanged a few words with Pei, and the three of them took their seats one after another. After simply saying a few words that were not nutritious, Xia Yu went straight to the topic and talked about the museum. Anyway, Hua Shengshi had already made it clear to him that there was no need to continue to detour. "Mr. Pei, Hua Lao should have told you that I want to build a top-class private cultural museum in Hong Kong, and even the world''s top private cultural museum. The main collection is Chinese cultural relics. Of course, cultural relics of other civilizations are not excluded from the back." "Although Huaxia has a Forbidden City Museum, it is deep inland, and it is not convenient to show the world the colorful culture of China for five thousand years. I also want Chinese people all over the world to have a channel to understand the roots of the ancestral land, so I I hope that this museum can be built to its best, so that it can be worthy of the extensive and profound Chinese culture." "I don''t want museums with important cultural significance to be poorly built or designed by white people. You are the Chinese with the highest achievements in the field of architecture, and only the museum you design will not insult the Chinese civilization." "So I want to ask you to design a museum." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Pei I.M. At this time, after listening to Xia Yu''s words, Pei''s face was moved and his heart was moved. When Hua Shengshi contacted him, he also told him about Xia Yu''s deeds and his ambition to collect lost cultural relics overseas, so he was interested in picking up this job. Unexpectedly, when he heard Xia Yu''s words in person at this time, Pei realized that Xia Yu actually thought so. For a Chinese-American who has never forgotten his roots, these words touched no less than throwing a bomb in his heart to make him. Panic. At this moment, Pei had a strong idea in his heart, that is, no matter what, he must accept this design project. Not for anything else, just to allow another museum representing the Chinese civilization to appear in the world, to show the world the glorious history of the ancient Chinese civilization, and to allow the Chinese who grew up overseas to have a channel to understand the motherland and not forget the fundamentals. "Mr. Xia, your ambition is admirable. I am an ordinary designer. Since you are worthy of me, I took this task without any compensation." Pei said with a firm expression. Hearing this, Hua Shengshi and Xia Yu were very surprised, but how embarrassed Xia Yu to let Pei Yuming work in vain? It doesn''t cost much for him, not to mention that this project is not small, and Pei must be needed. Staff assistance from Ming''s Architects. Pei''s ability to win the design has already surprised him. How can he not charge him? Therefore, Xia Yu immediately persuaded: "Mr. Bei, I appreciate your kindness, but designing a museum takes time and effort and requires you to invest a lot of energy. Besides, you have to support a large number of people in an architect firm. If it makes you work in vain, isn''t this slapped me in the face!" After speaking, Xia Yu winked at Hua Sheng Shi. Hua Shengshi also quickly persuaded: "Mr. Bei, you don''t need to save money with Mr. Xia, we will put one yard into one yard." Pei''s expression moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he reluctantly nodded and said: "Mr. Xia, Hua Lao, if you say so, then only charge for the cost. I don''t want to make a penny here, just like me drifting in a foreign land Let the children do their part for the motherland." Although he was talking with a smile, the firmness in his tone was very obvious. Xia Yu and Hua Shengshi looked at each other, and after looking at Pei I.M., they nodded with emotion: "Well then, Mr. Pei Gaoyi!" IM Pei smiled, changed the subject and said: "Then let''s talk about how to build this museum, Mr. Xia, Hua Lao, please tell me if you have any requirements, and I will design according to the requirements." "Ok." "The land has been selected, it is in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon..." After that, the three chatted with interest. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 597: Assets surged by several billion On that day, Pei I.M. wrote down all the precautions. In the following days, Hua Shengshi joined him on field trips to start the design of the museum. With Pei''s participation, Xia Yu can put the museum aside and continue to work. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the privatization process of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company was over. The privatization has recovered 26.5% of the equity and cost nearly 630 million Hong Kong dollars. Coupled with the previous funds, the acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Company cost a total of 2.27 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although it was all cash acquisitions, Xia Yu took it out easily and did not lend a penny. If it was exposed, it would definitely cause a panic in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu has so much liquidity because the funds for speculating in London Gold have been replaced and drawn out. The principal amount of 2.2 billion U.S. dollars was invested in London Gold. After leveraging, the capital was enlarged to 6.6 billion U.S. dollars. After the left hand turned the right hand, 200 million U.S. dollars was left as leverage to take over the original 14 billion U.S. dollar gold futures contract, and 9.54 billion U.S. dollars was put in. Among them, 2 billion U.S. dollars is the principal that Xia Yu brought to the United Kingdom. Therefore, this speculation on London Gold took advantage of leverage and made a direct profit of 7.54 billion U.S. dollars. At this time, the constant 4.6:1 Hong Kong dollar dollar exchange rate was used. , The equivalent of Hong Kong dollars is nearly 34.7 billion Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu''s total net worth has directly doubled! After seizing the opportunity of the times, the horrific speed of making money in the financial industry is stifling. And because in less than a year in the future, the international gold price will rise to a peak of 850 points. The US$14 billion gold futures contract that Xia Yu left behind was US$200 million. Yes, when it is sold at more than 800 points, there will still be high profits. Holding such a huge amount of funds, Xia Yu has more confidence in building an international consortium. However, although liquidity is important, it is the most stupid to keep holding or not investing, so Xia Yu put out 3 billion US dollars of funds to make Bright Fund buy the stocks of major companies in the British stock market. At the time of the British economic downturn, capital is also shrinking. The temporary poor operating conditions of major companies have led to a downturn in stock prices, but as long as Margaret takes office, the situation in the UK will gradually improve. Therefore, you can close your eyes now, and you will be right when you catch the stock of a large British company. Even if there is one, the company will still lose money, but the overall investment will definitely not lose. In fact, according to Xia Yu''s idea, it is not only the British economic downturn at this time, it should be said that the whole Europe is like this, and opportunities are everywhere. But don''t look at Xia Yu''s current liquidity of more than 9 billion U.S. dollars. It looks like a lot, but it is too small to spread across Europe. There is a saying that ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. So Xia Yu resisted the temptation and decided to establish a solid foundation in the UK first, so all the 3 billion US dollars of funds were invested in the UK. However, in order to prevent too much exposure, Xia Yu ordered the Bright Fund to expose up to 500 million US dollars of funds, and the remaining 2.5 billion US dollars should be placed on the various hidden vests of the Bright Fund, and these small vests will buy the major ones. The company''s equity. The latest situation is that US$3 billion of funds have been spent on US$1.2 billion, all of which have been spent on the acquisition of stocks from the secondary market. In addition to the 3 billion U.S. dollars, it stands to reason that Xia Yu still has 6.54 billion U.S. dollars in funds. Xia Yu invested 1 billion U.S. dollars in Jiuding Bank for business expansion of Jiuding Bank. Liu Tianci, who holds a huge amount of money, ambitiously expand in the banking field. Then he took out another two billion US dollars and injected them into each of his major companies for their expansion and mergers and acquisitions. For Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Animation Company, the capital injection is small, mainly because the revenue of these two companies is scary, and there is no need for much capital injection. The big heads are placed in companies such as Universal Television, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Jiuding Insurance Company, Jiuding Securities Company, Global Cinemas, Jiuding Retail Group, and Jiuding Real Estate Group for the expansion of these companies. The 1.35 billion Hong Kong dollars that Jiuding Real Estate Group acquired a while ago came from an injection of 500 million US dollars. In addition, the acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company and some miscellaneous consumption such as donations cost Xia Yu 500 million US dollars. After some operations, Xia Yu''s independent working capital was only US$3.4 billion. Still very scary. This money, Xia Yu was handed over to Wang Qi to take care of it temporarily, and he listed many companies in Xiangjiang and asked him to secretly absorb stocks. After all arrangements were made, Xia Yu took the personnel to Liu Shihao, Huo Jianning and others to Xiangjiang Electric Light Company to check the specific situation. The original president of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company was the second largest shareholder, but after Xia Yu¡¯s sudden attack, the second largest shareholder was forced to sell the shares and withdraw. Therefore, the position of President of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company was vacant. Stagnation But Xia Yu didn''t care for a short time. Fortunately, in the electric power industry, the technical barriers are higher, even the former president can''t take over. The powerful vice president is in charge of power generation and power distribution. The person in charge is a Chinese, named Han Tianze. After graduating from a prestigious school, he joined the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company. Starting from the bottom, he has been working for 20 years. He knows everything about the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company. After coming to Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, Xia Yu immediately convened a meeting with the company¡¯s senior management. In addition to these people, there were Zhou Keji, the head of the Standard Accounting Firm, and Wei Lu, the head of the Standard Law Firm. At Yu''s request, the assets of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company have been accounted for for more than ten days and the legal loopholes have been improved. Looking at several vice presidents and department managers who looked worried, Xia Yu looked kind and calmly said: "Everyone should have heard my name. I will not be too strict with my own people. Since you are still sitting here today, then You can relax and work." Han Tianze and others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked: "Thank you, Chairman!" "Okay, now you first introduce your basic personal information and your responsible work." "Han Tianze, you come first." Xia Yu''s words are concise and concise, named Han Tianze. Han Tianze stood up immediately, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, and then calmly introduced: "Dear Chairman, my name is Han Tianze. I was the vice president of the company. I was in charge of all power-related businesses such as power generation business and power distribution... " "Dear Chairman, my name is Liu Hong, in charge of engineering construction and service business..." "Dear Chairman, my name is Song Hai, the manager of the electrical appliance trading department..." https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 598: Divestitures and new companies Chapter 598 After all, Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has a history of ninety years. After such a long period of time, it is no longer confined to the electric power industry. It can be said that Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Company can be regarded as a diversified group company. The company''s business scope can be roughly divided into five parts. Sorted by volume, there are five parts: real estate, electricity, engineering construction and services, electrical appliance trading, and other investment shares. In recent years, because the real estate industry has become more and more popular, it is a company that wants to do real estate. Therefore, the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, which has a huge advantage, is no exception and has been deeply involved in the real estate industry. The real estate business was originally directly managed by the second largest shareholder and president, but after he left, his position was vacant. The remaining four people are all heads of various business areas. After listening to their introduction, Xia Yu nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Keji again, and ordered: "How is the overall situation of the company?" Zhou Keji has already calculated all aspects of the assets of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company by the employees of the accounting firm, and has already known it, so he calmly reported: "Report to the chairman, the total assets of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company are worth 8.75 billion. Hong Kong dollars, liabilities 5.63 billion Hong Kong dollars, net assets 3.12 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which real estate business assets accounted for 53.3%, power business assets accounted for 25.5%, engineering construction and service business assets accounted for 12.4%, electrical appliances trading¡­¡­" Hearing this data, Xia Yu raised his brows. He didn''t expect the net assets of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company to be as high as 3.12 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was completely beyond his expectations. Although he knows that most of the current British-funded companies have a city value lower than their actual value, he did not expect that after the incident of the Wharf, the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company would be so outrageous. It is conceivable that there is gold everywhere in the general environment. Have the ability to eat in. The purchase of the entire company only spent HK$2.27 billion, which means that from the net assets alone, his acquisition made a profit of HK$850 million. Not to mention that the value of a company cannot be simply calculated as net assets, but also as other hidden values ??such as industry influence and volume value. However, Xia Yu learned that Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Company will have so many assets under the accounting of a standard accounting firm, mainly because of the value of real estate such as land and surface buildings. After all, the Hong Kong Electric Light Company owns the power franchise on Hong Kong Island. In the last century, it has won a large number of land to build power plants, as well as supporting factories and facilities for power plants. After 90 years, the power plant has undergone expansion, relocation, and other changes. The company''s land is increasing, but it only increases, because Xiangjiang Electric Light Co., Ltd. is a British-owned enterprise, and its original power plant land is in the city. Districts or urban areas, considering the overall planning of the city, the Hong Kong government has approved the change of the nature of its land several times, from industrial land to commercial land, and its value has soared. It is precisely because of this huge advantage that Xiangjiang Electric Light Company wants to enter the real estate industry. After all, with such a big advantage, as long as the operator is not a fool, of course it is impossible to put a big gold mine without digging. But now everything is cheap Xia Yu. "Okay, I also understand the situation. For the company''s good development, the company will rectify next." Xia Yu said sternly, everyone immediately looked serious and looked at him intently. "Xiangjiang Electric Light Co., Ltd. has gone off track now. It has fallen far behind the China Light & Power Company in the initial power business. Although there are reasons for the franchise area, it is undeniable that the most important reason is that the company''s main energy is placed on the real estate business. ." "Next, all real estate related businesses will be divested and absorbed by Jiuding Real Estate Group." "Shihao, speed up, but the premise is stability, understand?" "understand!" Liu Shihao responded with excitement, and his heart surged. The real estate business of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has total assets of more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although the liabilities are also numerous, it is undeniable that the size of the real estate industry alone is equivalent to the size of a large real estate company in Xiangjiang. . Now that it is directly annexed by Jiuding Real Estate Group, it will make the strength of Jiuding Real Estate Group leap forward, far surpassing Henderson Land Development, New World Development, Cheung Kong Holdings and other companies. As for Han Tianze and other high-level officials, even though they were shocked, they still obeyed Xia Yu''s orders. Although they felt it was a pity, it was the will of the boss, and no one could stop it. There was no person in charge of the real estate business, and no one came out to comment. They just started to worry about their fate. Xia Yu looked at Han Tianze and said calmly when he was nervous: "Han Tianze, from now on you will be the general manager of the company, responsible for the entire company of the group company, and directly in charge of the power business." "Yes!" Han Tianze was surprised and replied loudly. Xia Yu nodded slightly, looked at Liu Hong again, and said to him: "The engineering construction and service industries you are responsible for have two major sectors. One is the power plant construction, power grid laying and service sector, and the other is the real estate construction sector. " "The real estate construction department is all under the Jiuding Real Estate Group. In the future, you will manage the power-related engineering construction and service business, and help Han Tianze take care of the company, understand?" Liu Hong secretly sighed that his rights had shrunk dramatically, but he didn''t dare to complain. It is already good to be an executive, so he respectfully replied, "Understood!" "As for you..." Looking at Song Hai, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and fell into thinking, causing Song Hai to lift his heart into his throat. At this time, I heard Xia Yu said: "In the electrical appliance trading business, we have acted as an agent for the general distribution rights of companies such as Siemens in Germany and Whirlpool in the United States. This is a great advantage, but the drawbacks are also obvious, that is, focusing on being a general distributor. , Underestimating the electrical retail field, the right to speak is not important, and the profit is too low." "The terminal electrical appliance retail industry has a huge market. As long as the volume goes up, it can back pressure on suppliers, so we must vigorously operate." "The electrical appliance trading department became independent and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuding Retail Group. The name is Jiuding Electric Sales Co., Ltd., and it is planned to assume the position of general manager. I will give you a task to open in Xiangjiang and Omen within half a year. Six home appliance retail malls, and the most important thing is to build a complete after-sales service system." Song Hai has mixed joys and sorrows, because he has become the general manager of a company, and his rights and freedom have greatly increased. Depending on the situation, the boss will strongly support him. But it is precisely because of this that I feel sad, or pressure. Opened six electrical appliance retail stores in Hong Kong and Macau in half a year. It is definitely not a small electrical appliance retail store. At least the variety of electrical appliances should be complete. That''s all. The most rare thing is to improve the after-sales service systemJust maintenance People are hard to find, and they have to be level. However, despite the pressure, since the boss values ??him, he can''t let the boss Xia Yu down, so he took a deep breath and solemnly responded, "Guaranteed to complete the task!" Xia Yu also knows the difficulty, and said with earnestness: "Don''t worry about funding. The electrical retail industry focuses on service, so the after-sales service system must be more thoughtful and don''t let me down!" "Yes!" Song Hai straightened his chest and responded again. Xia Yu has high expectations for Jiuding Electric Sales Co., Ltd., so he will focus on building an after-sales service system. As long as the retail terminal is built, he can enter the electrical appliance manufacturing industry at any time. By then, with the help of a well-built retail system and after-sales service system, a new electrical appliance brand can be formed soon. This is what he sees. Next came other businesses that invested in shares. Xia Yu divested out irrelevant businesses based on the list compiled by Zhou Keji, and then notified his major companies to take over, leaving only the parts related to the power business. In this way, the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has returned to what it was at the beginning and became a single power company. The company¡¯s assets have shrunk significantly, leaving only more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets, most of which are power plants, power grids, etc. real estate. In Xia Yu''s plan, Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has been engaged in the power industry for ninety years. There is absolutely no problem in technology and management and operation. It has a profound background and it is absolutely waste to be restricted to Hong Kong Island. Xia Yu intends to use this starting point to allow Xiangjiang Electric Light Co., Ltd. to break out of Xiangjiang, to Asia, and enter the world''s electric power field. Because of so many considerations, Xiangjiang Electric Light Company is not allowed to be half-hearted. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 599: Overthrow After the meeting, Xia Yu asked Han Tianze to take a look at the power plants owned by Xiangjiang Electric Light Company. Since the establishment of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, the location and scale of power plants have gradually changed. The initial power plant, called Wan Chai Power Plant, is located on Star Street, Wan Chai. The initial power generation capacity is only 100 kilowatts. The power generation supply scope is Central and Wan Chai¡¯s Sun Street, Moon Street, Star Street, Guangming Street and Electric Street One generation, it was demolished in 1922. Subsequently, a new power plant was built in Fortress Hill, North Point. It was commissioned in 1919. The initial power generation was 3,000 kilowatts. It has been expanded since then. It was destroyed during World War II and has been in operation since it was repaired. However, the demand for electricity on Hong Kong Island has continued to grow. The power plant at Fortress Hill in North Point has insufficient power supply. Therefore, a power plant has been established in Ap Lei Chau in the Southern District to supply electricity to Hong Kong Island from the south to the north. The Hongkong Electric¡¯s power plant in Ap Lei Chau in the Southern District is still an advanced fully computerized power plant. Construction began in 1968. The third phase of the project has been completed and put into use. There is still the last phase of the project. The generating capacity of the power plant will reach 1061 megawatts. Unfortunately, the power plant in Ap Lei Chau is an oil-fired power plant. It is close to the urban area and the pollution is serious. The public has great opinions. Taking into account the overall planning of Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Government has requested the Heung Kong Electric Company to shut down the Ap Lei Chau power plant in a planned way. In order to make up for the Hong Kong Electric Light Company, the Hong Kong Government gave a great discount and allowed the Hong Kong Electric Light Company to select its own site under the premise of complying with the regulations. Finally, it chose a new power plant on Lamma Island to replace the Ap Lei Chau power plant. . Regarding the power plant in Ap Lei Chau, Xia Yu only took a look at it and headed south to Lamma Island to check the power plant that has been under construction. The Ap Lei Chau Power Plant was destined to be eliminated. After reading it, Xia Yu decided that after the completion of the Lamma Island Power Plant, he immediately demolished the outdated North Point Power Plant and Ap Lei Chau Power Plant without the Hong Kong government. It is used to build commercial residential buildings to maximize benefits. Soon, the group boarded Lamma Island by boat. Lamma Island is the third largest island in Hong Kong, second only to Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island in area. It is an outlying island district in the administrative region. The island covers an area of ??about 14 square kilometers. It was originally named "Bo Liao Chau". It resembles the Chinese character "amma", hence the name "Lamma Island". As far as Xia Yu knows, Zhou Runfa, who is now under the umbrella of Global Brokerage, was born on Lamma Island. Let¡¯s talk about the power plant. The site is located in the northwest of Lamma Island. The small place is called Pineapple Mouth. It is also chosen because it is closer to Hong Kong Island, which can save the cost of laying cables and is uninhabited, which saves the cost of demolition and relocation. Will not affect the lives of residents. Looking at a busy construction site, Han Tianze immediately introduced: "Boss, according to the negotiation with the Hong Kong government, the Lamma Power Plant covers an area of ??50 hectares. The original plan was to be developed in three phases. The first phase of the project is now under construction. In five years, it consists of three 250-megawatt oil-fired generator sets, with a total power generation of 750 megawatts." After speaking, Han Tianze quietly followed the changes in Xia Yu''s expression. Xia Yu''s face calmly nodded slightly, and he didn''t let Han Tianze see anything, making him a little nervous. Xia Yu is very satisfied with the Hong Kong government''s willingness to provide 50 hectares of land. Although it is for industrial use, the amount is extremely large and its future value is immeasurable. The entire Lamma Island is only 14 square kilometers in area, and one square kilometer equals 100 hectares. This means that the land area of ??the Lamma Power Plant will occupy one 28th of the area of ??the entire Lamma Island. "Go in and see!" After speaking, Xia Yu and his party walked inside. In the first phase of the project, 15 hectares of land have been used, all of which have been leveled in place, the foundation has been consolidated, and part of the flat-topped factory buildings have been constructed. Next to the plant, a giant cold water tower is halfway through construction. Under a shed on the ground, there are many steel frames. Han Tianze immediately explained: "Boss, this is the material for the transmission tower. Only part of it has been shipped now. After the material expires, the transmission tower will be built immediately." "Ok!" "The generator set hasn''t arrived yet, right?" After some inspections, everyone came to the power plant. At this time, the power plant was empty and the infrastructure was still under construction. Xia Yu asked Han Tianze. "No, I ordered a generator set from Mitsubishi Electric. The order was sent in February, but it has not been made." Han Tianze immediately replied. "What is the total construction period and total design volume of the power plant?" "The initial plan for the power plant is to build the third phase, with a total power generation of 3,500 megawatts. At the current rate, it will be built until around 2000." Hearing this, Xia Yu frowned and said bluntly: "It''s too slow!" It is only in 1979, and the entire construction period of the Lamma Island power plant has been designed to the year 2000. This means that it will be constructed for 20 years, which is too long. In his expectation, he will also push Xiangjiang Electric Light Company to the world and compete with the world''s power giants. If even the foundation of his own foundation is to be built for 20 years, the daylily will be cold, and it will be a fart! And even if it is all completed, the daily power generation of 3,500 megawatts is 3.5 million kilowatts, and the theoretical peak daily power generation is 84 million kWh. But this is its maximum power generation capacity. It is impossible for a power plant to operate at full capacity 365 days a year. Generally, the power generation is between 30%-40% of the theoretical peak. With this calculation, if the Lamma Power Plant is fully constructed, the annual power generation will reach the range of 9.2 billion kWh to 12.2 billion kWh. This power generation will definitely not be enough for Hong Kong Island by then. Xia Yu vaguely remembered that the annual electricity consumption of future generations of Xiangjiang was about 50 billion kWh. Xiangjiang¡¯s local power generation is simply not enough. The combined power generation of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company and China Light and Power Company can only generate less than 40 billion kWh, and the Daya Bay nuclear power base needs to send tens of billions of power to Xiangjiang. According to this calculation, after the construction of the Lamma Island power plant, it will not be able to satisfy the electricity demand on Hong Kong Island. How can the electricity be transmitted to Oldham, Kowloon and the New Territories? Or even to Guangdong Province? Presumably when making this plan, the management must have a short-sighted vision. They only focused on the one-acre three-cent of land on Hong Kong Island and focused on the real estate industry. Now he has taken over. The original plan is seriously inconsistent with his expectations and must be overturned and redone. Regardless of whether it will acquire the China Light and Power Company in the future, the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company must have the strength to occupy the power market of Xiangjiang. If there is a surplus of power generation, it can sell electricity to Guangdong Province. In the 1980s and 1990s, the mainland has been suffering from electricity shortages and there are many opportunities. . Xia Yu looked at Han Tianze and said solemnly: "The construction of the power plant will be completely stopped and the original plan will not work!" Han Tianze''s face turned pale. He didn''t expect the boss Xia Yu''s reaction to be so big that he directly overturned the entire construction plan, which showed the boss'' dissatisfaction. He didn''t ask why, but quickly replied: "Understood, I will have people stop construction immediately." "Hold on, not short of this time, you first listen to me to finish." Xia Yu stopped his actions and said in Han Tianze''s puzzled eyes: "The power plant purchases coal-fired generator sets. From now on, oil-fired generator sets will not be used. Of course, the opportunity is right can also use gas-fired generator sets. ." "The total power generation of the Lamma Island Power Plant must be designed to be six gigawatts. On the premise of ensuring quality and quantity, it must be completed within five years at most. The goal of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company is to become a multinational electric power giant. time." "The power construction department must expand and build a strong construction team. The Lamma Island Power Station is the whetstone. It is built with all efforts and all facilities are started at the same time. Don''t worry about spending money." "The original order for the fuel unit from Mitsubishi Electric has been cancelled. It does not matter if a small amount of liquidated damages is imposed. The fuel unit will be re-bid, and the best generator must be used. "The 50 hectares of land is not enough. After re-planning, apply to the Hong Kong government for land purchase. I believe that in order to solve the power problem in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government should meet the requirements. If it is difficult, let me know as soon as possible." Xia Yu''s series of orders blasted Han Tianze a little dizzy, but he was excited from the heart. The plan of the new boss is too grand. The original plan made by the company can''t be compared at all. The boss Xia Yu is indeed a super boss in Xiangjiang, his eyes and handwriting are unusual. Just follow such a boss to have motivation! Thinking of what the boss said just now that the goal of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company is to become a multinational electric power giant, Han Tianze was excited. "Boss, I will go back and redo the plan immediately. I will never disappoint you! If it fails, I will just quit!" Han Tianze blushed and said loudly, and he directly issued a military order to show his determination. The boss''s plan is ambitious, and it is of course very difficult to realize it. He can only force himself like this! PS: By the way, ask for a ticket at the end of the month, don''t forget to waste it. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 600: Another 1 plot After solving the strategic decision-making problem of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, Xia Yu safely handed over the follow-up matters to Han Tianze, and he had to ask him for instructions unless major matters. That night, Xia Yu did not go home for dinner, but went to an appointment to eat supper at a food stall in the Kowloon City area. Originally, with his status and status, he shouldn''t eat in such a place. But after all, Xia Yu was born in poverty. Although he is now in a high position, he hasn''t forgotten his roots. He can stand up, and he can naturally put it down easily. But the one who dared to invite Xia Yu with the supper at the food stall was naturally not an outsider, it was Xia Lei. Of course Xia Yu could not have come. In the night, a black car shuttled through the streets of Kowloon City, staying on an old street. Xia Yu took Li Wuming out of the car, and the other two bodyguards stayed in the car. He looked up at the big sign of fluorescent lights. Four Seasons Fresh Food Stalls! This is it! Sure enough, Xia Yu saw Xia Jun and Xia Lei sitting inside, and they were chatting happily. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, the two immediately stood up with smiles on their faces: "A Yu, you are here." "You guys came so early, am I not late?" Xia Yu said with a smile. "No, we just arrived." "This store is new?" Xia Yu asked casually, looking at the empty rows of tables. Xia Lei explained with a grin: "It hasn''t opened yet. It will open tomorrow. Open the door today to taste it." Xia Yu picked up his brows and heard a hint of other meanings, and asked, "You opened this store?" Hearing Xia Yu''s question, Xia Jun also reacted and looked at Xia Lei. Xia Lei smiled: "It can be regarded as mine. It''s the industry of the club. The business of night snacks is good. In addition, there are too many brothers in the club. I don''t know how much to eat every day. Others are not as cheap as their own. digestion." Xia Jun asked in an interface: "A Lei, the brothers in your community eat white sticks here?" "How is it possible! There are no rules and no radius. Even if I eat myself, I still pay for it, otherwise I will go bankrupt." Xia Lei immediately said loudly. Listening to Xia Yu smiled admiringly: "A Lei, there must be rules, public or private, in order to accomplish great things!" Xia Lei touched his flat head and laughed happily, completely without the appearance of the ruthless and domineering community leaders commonly seen by outsiders. We must know that after defeating the Black Dragon Hall last year and taking charge of the Tiger Club, there are now only two giants underground in Jiulongcheng District, one of the eighteenth districts of Hong Kong, namely the Tiger Club and Xin Nghe''an. Will clean up. Today, there are more than 1,200 people under Xia Lei''s staff. Xin Yi''an knows who is behind Xia Lei, so with his hands and feet, Xin Yi''an, one of the three major powers of Hong Kong, has been crushed by the Tiger Club in Kowloon City. In addition to the Kowloon City District, Xia Lei''s influence has spread to the Yau Tsim Mong and Kwun Tong districts of Kowloon, but it is still in the initial stage of laying the foundation, but it can be regarded as a banner anyway. It can be said that Xia Lei is now considered a big boss in the underground of Xiangjiang. Soon after Xia Yu entered, a younger brother pulled the door halfway down, and put a "temporarily closed" sign at the door. "Old Wu, let''s eat some abalones and flowers first." Finding a table and sitting down, Xia Lei yelled at the back. Soon there were some barbecue and cold beer on the table. Xia Lei picked up a bottle of beer and bit it open, placed it in front of Xia Yu, and continued to drink. "A Lei, use the opener, don''t bite your teeth." Xia Yu frowned slightly and reminded. "Let me do it!" Sitting Li Wuming said suddenly, he directly picked up a bottle of beer and slapped the mouth of the bottle. With force, a beer bottle cap fell from the palm of the slap and opened directly, which made Xia Lei and Xia Jun stare. Xia Yu is not surprising, Li Wuming is talented, and the strength of the entire Xiangjiang is a master of the generation. He can''t understand the skills of force. In later generations, Xia Yu has also seen some ordinary people master certain skills. , Can open beer bottle caps empty-handed. "Come on, let''s drink first!" "Hey!" "Cool!" The cold beer flowed through his throat, and the bubbles kept bursting in his mouth. Xia Jun couldn''t help but shout out comfortably. "This sixtieth piece tastes good!" Xia Yu clipped a piece of sixtieth armour and put it in his mouth. Xia Lei also caught one of them and sucked the meat into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Old Wu is the teacher I specially invited over. I have hired fifteen such masters at once." "I plan to open Sijixian food stalls as a chain store, and I will open the whole Xiangjiang in the future. As for food and beverages, I still know that taste is the fundamental truth." "But, the future food tycoon!" Xia Jun joked. "Brother Jun, don''t bury me." Xia Lei said dubiously. "A Lei, you don''t have to belittle yourself. Brother Jun said it is really possible to make the food stall the first in Xiangjiang. Who dares to say that you are not a tycoon?" Xia Yu said sternly, and then reminded: "But to do this, management is very important. You have to ask someone to help you manage it." "I know this, and you can make money without intervening indiscriminately." "You gave me advice last year. I have established several companies and now they are making money." Xia Lei nodded and said. Hearing what Xia Lei said, Xia Yu and Xia Jun came to be interested. Xia Yu simply put down his chopsticks and asked, "Which companies are there and how is the situation?" "There are not many companies, there are only a dozen, but most of them are small companies. I won''t be embarrassed by showing them, and only four stand out." "A film company specializes in making salty and wet films. Now it has made three films and made about three million yuan." "One is a washing foot city chain company, there are three washing foot cities, business is not bad." "One is a real estate development company. It took a piece of land and is now under development and construction." "The last one is an export trading company, and the business is pretty good." "These four companies, with the exception of Footwash City, all three rely on A Yu for your help, otherwise I won''t be able to do it." Speaking of this, Xia Lei showed gratitude to Xia Yu, but everyone was brothers, and he also knew that Xia Yu did not like him to see outsiders, so he did not say thank you. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Just develop it and keep working hard." "By the way, how is the overall operation of the Tigers?" Xia Yu thought for a while and wanted to ask. "The situation is very good. Although the brothers add up to more than 1,200 people, but now all aspects add up, there is an income of more than 8 million a month, although most of them are not visible, but it is very easy to raise people." After Xia Lei finished speaking, Xia Jun calculated in his heart, and said in surprise: "With this calculation, the annual income will exceed 100 million! Sure enough, your business makes money fast. The only drawback is that the risk is high and the money is not available." Xia Yu heard this number very calmly. The organization of more than 1,200 people earned only 8 million yuan a month, which was actually very small. He was very aware of the huge profits in this industry. There is a saying that the channels for making money are written in the law. Xia Lei did these things. It''s strange if you don''t make money. If it weren''t for removing the most profitable piece, doubling the income would be a breeze. "How is the organizational structure?" Compared to making money, Xia Yu is more concerned about whether Xia Lei listens to his words and builds rigorous strength. Xia Lei nodded and said, "It''s okay. After you told me last year, I specially studied the organizational structure of the Yamaguchi Group and Hongmen, and it took a month to develop a complete and rigorous organizational framework. Now that it has been implemented, I feel that the control of the entire organization has reached its peak, and now no one can shake the sky." "That''s good!" Xia Yu couldn''t help expressing his appreciation with a smile upon hearing this. "Brother Jun, to you, congratulations on your promotion to the next level and the post of chief of the police station." Xia Jun and Xia Yu touched the wine bottle and took a big swig, and said with emotion: "A Yu, it''s not thanks to you. Now in the entire police department, I am promoted the fastest." Xia Yu smiled: "This is nowhere. It''s just the chief of the police station. There are so many levels on the top. There is no need to waste so long below. We promise to be promoted to a trainee inspector at least this year." The chief of the police station in a small area of ??Xiangjiang, placed in the post-generation position is equivalent to the position of the director of a regional police station, not much. Of course, if an ordinary person, without any background, wants to reach this level, it will take eight or nine years, or more than ten years. But Xia Jun is different! He is supported by Xia Yu, a super boss. Who dares not sell Xia Yu''s face? Even if the chief of the police department Shi Lirong and the deputy chief of the management department Han Yili had to give Xia Yu face, of course he would take care of Xia Jun. And Li Junxia, ??one of the chief superintendents, had already turned to Xia Yu, and naturally spared no effort to support Xia Jun. Even if you have a background, Xia Jun has done a lot, and the rapid promotion makes it impossible for others to challenge. Xia Jun¡¯s contributions were so much due to Xia Yu¡¯s intervention. After Xia Jun was promoted to the sergeant, he repeatedly made meritorious deeds. Thanks to Luo Wang and Xia Lei¡¯s help, many clues were not found by the police. Instead, Luo Wang and Xia Lei found them and gave them directly to Xia Jun so that Xia Jun could lead the people Just grab it. Or directly help Xia Jun take credit, so Xia Jun''s credit is full, if it is not because he is too young ~ www.novelhall.com~ the upgrade has been fast enough, otherwise the credit alone is enough to be promoted to trainee inspector or even Inspected. But Xia Yu is already operating now. After the change of term in the UK, the personnel of Hong Kong will be adjusted. The term of office of the current Commissioner of Police Shi Lirong has expired and he is destined to retire to the UK to provide for the elderly. Among the remaining two contenders, Li Sita originally relied on the Jardine Foundation. Although he was the top-ranked Deputy Director of Operations, after the fall of the Jardine Foundation, Shi Lirong sold Xia Yu favors to suppress him, making He has lost a lot of power. Of the four senior assistant directors under his command, three of them have been inactive, which is not as good as Han Yili, the deputy director of the management office. Xia Yu is already in operation. He pushed Han Yili to take over Shi Lirong''s position. Han Yili himself was on his own, and Xia Yu pushed him on, just adding insurance. In Xia Yu''s view, Han Yili''s becoming the police chief is a sure thing, and Xia Jun and Li Junxia''s police road will be smooth. Speaking of this, I have to mention Xia Yu''s influence in politics. There is no need to mention the influence of the Evergreen Fund. The more direct one is Liang Dingbang. With the support of Xia Yu, Liang Dingbang has entered the Legislative Council and became one of the 55 members. And because he didn''t hide his background, Liang Dingbang became a fan of the Legislative Council because of Xia Yu. Upon seeing this, several congressmen were enthusiastic about Liang Dingbang, and they took the initiative to rely on Xia Yu. After Xia Yu''s investigation, he found that he had training value and accepted it with pleasure. In this way, Xia Yu''s tentacles reached into the Hong Kong Legislative Council, and his influence was not weak. Xia Yu''s influence on the road, the police and the political arena is constantly expanding.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 601: Rise to play games Since Xia Yu has been running around since December last year, he has not sat down with the two brothers to have a good chat for a long time. Therefore, Xia Yu had a very pleasant meal for the supper tonight. The three people killed two beers and did not leave until about ten in the evening. Here in the Kowloon City District, the development is relatively backward. At around ten o''clock, many shops on the street have closed, and there are some night snack stalls, or KTV and other entertainment and catering shops. There are few pedestrians on the street. After stepping out of the four seasons food stalls, Xia Yu could feel that the whole street was filled with a sense of peace and harmony. Just at this moment, a door across the street opened wide, and there were bursts of noisy shouts, as well as the sound of smashing boards and electronic sounds from the shop with the curtain ajar. This voice was familiar, which made Xia Yuqing unable to stop. Seeing Xia Yu stop and look to the opposite side, Xia Lei and Xia Jun also stopped. Xia Lei asked, "Ayu, what''s wrong?" Xia Yu did not answer, but looked at the red light board hanging in the upper right corner of the shop, which read three words-Game Hall. "When did this game hall appear?" Xia Yu''s eyes were deep, making it hard to see what he was thinking, but his words rang in Xia Lei''s ears. Xia Lei looked at the game hall with a blank face, and said casually: "This game hall is my club¡¯s industry. It has only been open for two months. It contains arcade games bought from the island country. The business is very hot. Now I have opened it. Seven companies are now a regular source of income in the meeting." Xia Lei didn''t care too much. After all, although the arcade made money, it was just a small amount of money. There are seven game halls, large and small. In total, there are 35 game consoles. One Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged for 4 game coins. Even when the business is booming, the seven game halls cost two to three thousand Hong Kong dollars a day. , Less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, this little money is the same for the Tiger Club with a monthly income of more than 8 million. Besides, the cost of game consoles is also high. After two months, the capital has not been earned back, which means that it can be regarded as a stable source of income, and it allows the subordinates to have a place for leisure and entertainment, so as not to have nothing to do everywhere. He will only agree to open it if it makes trouble. Xia Lei didn''t care, but Xia Yu was interested. Knowing that it was Xia Lei, the enthusiastic Xia Yu walked directly to the other side: "Go, let''s go over and take a look." Xia Lei was a little surprised. Seeing that Xia Yu was rarely in Xing''s head, he followed Xia Jun obediently. As soon as the door curtain was opened, there was a hot and misty scene inside, and a sense of familiarity across time and space emerged in Xia Yu''s mind. When Xia Yu and others came in at night, they also attracted the attention of the audience. They just wanted to say something, the curtain opened again, and Xia Lei and Xia Jun walked in. The boy watching the scene was shocked, thinking it was the boss Cha Gang, standing straight and greeting Xia Lei respectfully: "Boss." Xia Lei nodded his head coldly, and directly told them: "Clear the field, everyone will give ten game coins and let them come back tomorrow." The spectator was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately promised, and then the room was suddenly filled with dogs. Although the player was very upset, he knew that this was the site of the Tiger Club, so he could only leave with game coins. Of course, there are no members of the Tiger Club. Seeing the boss let them go, they didn''t dare to let them go, and left numbly. Xia Yu just looked at it and didn''t stop it. After a while, the room became empty, but the mess revealed that it was messy before. At this time, Xia Yu walked in and scanned the electronic screens around and found that it was the same kind of game console. Under a starry sky screen, an airplane was flying on it, and various obstacles and airplanes appeared on the electronic screen from time to time. . This is a shooting game! Xia Yu made a judgment easily. It''s just that this game, he feels a little familiar and a little strange, and has a specious feeling. After all, in later life, when he was studying, he went to the game hall to watch people play, and he also played arcade machines occasionally. But it was already in the 90s, ten or twenty years later than it is now. Even if it is the same type of game, later generations have been updated for several generations, and the initial version that he believes to appear is normal. But it doesn''t matter, just ask. Xia Yu asked Xia Lei: "A Lei, what game is this?" Why would Xia Lei put his mind on such trivial things, so he couldn''t remember what game it was. He looked at a little brother who came out of the exchange counter in the back room, and said in a deep voice, "What game is this?" The younger brother replied respectfully: "Boss, this game is called "Space Invaders", fly a plane to fight meteorites and invaders." After listening to Xia Lei, he slightly nodded and looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu suddenly felt that it was "Space Invaders". He said that he could see it with a familiar feeling. The previous 95 version of "Space Invaders" is a classic version. In his previous life, he would not only play the "King of Fighters" and "Dinosaurs" in the game hall, but also play this game. It must be the first edition of such a rough and crude picture that I see now. Suddenly, Xia Yu suddenly became childish, and he had the urge to find the joy of childhood in his previous life. He didn''t deliberately hold it back, but directly sat in front of a machine, holding the familiar joystick. Upon seeing this, the little brother cleverly stuffed a game coin into the coin slot. Immediately afterwards, an interface for the game to restart appeared on the electronic screen. Xia Yu held the joystick and shook it up and down, pressing the two red buttons at the same time, looking for the feeling. Xia Lei and Xia Jun were also interested. They stood behind Xia Yu one left and the other, staring at the electronic screen tightly. The other little brothers did not dare to gasp, and stood quietly, even breathing deliberately. slow. "Dangdangdangdang..." "Papa...Papa..." "Biu~biu~biu~" "Puff...Puff..." A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth. He devoted himself to playing the game seriously. Although it is the first time to play, but after experiencing the baptism of the game of later generations, the difficulty of today''s most basic arcade is completely pediatrics for Xia Yu, and he can get started all at once. Coupled with Xia Yu''s success in martial arts, his hand speed and thinking reaction speed are very fast, so it is not too easy to operate. The space plane moved back and forth on the screen, from left to right from time to time, pressing the red button, bullets shot out from the plane continuously, accurately focusing on sudden meteorites and space invaders~www.novelhall.com ~ Xia Yu was playing with gusto, Xia Lei and Xia Jun were also very interested in seeing it, and their hands were itchy. "Brother Jun, come together." "Suck in game currency!" After talking with Xia Jun, Xia Lei told his younger brother that the two of them sat in front of the arcade machine next to Xia Yu and started playing. The younger brothers behind looked at each other. "I lost it, why did I die so soon..." In less than twenty seconds, Xia Lei couldn''t help but explode. In less than two seconds, Xia Jun also complained: "Mine is also dead." "Looking at A Yu playing so well, why did we die as soon as we started? The gap is so big?" "A Yu, you have been playing for at least ten minutes, and you haven''t died yet. What are your skills?" Xia Yu glanced at the two of them and smiled lightly: "Find your own feelings, what fun is there to play games with a strategy?" After speaking, he turned his attention back to the game console in front. Xia Lei and Xia Jun glanced at each other and started again unconvinced. Each of them had a younger brother standing next to them. After their deaths, they silently stuffed the game currency, and dare not comment. At this time, the younger brother present also recognized Xia Yu as the stock god, the super boss of Xiangjiang. It''s just that the unattainable stock **** in their eyes, now playing games in the messy and messy game hall in front of them, shocked them. If this scene is photographed and posted in the newspaper, public opinion in Xiangjiang will definitely explode. The problem is that it''s so late, and there is no press conference here. Even if it comes, dare to post it is a question mark. PS: I apologize. After I was busy at 12 o''clock yesterday, it was two o''clock after washing, so there is no change. Sorry, there will be one in the evening. It is estimated to be one or two. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 602: Video game industry Xia Jun and Xia Lei are both young people. Although they have strong self-control, they still inevitably like the game. It was just over eleven o''clock when the three of them fought. "Clearance!" When the game console showed the English for customs clearance, Xia Yu stretched out and smiled with a sense of accomplishment. This is the sixth game he has played, and now he has finally finished the game. He was happy, but Xia Jun and Xia Lei were shocked, distracted, and both of them were destroyed. So the two simply stopped playing. He leaned over and looked at the characters displayed on Xia Yu¡¯s game console, and said with admiration: "A Yu, your brain is good. We are still struggling. You only played a few times before passing the level. It¡¯s too shocking. !" "Yes, play games with you and fight people!" Xia Jun said with deep approval. "Haha..." Xia Yu laughed loudly, but he was happy to start another topic for a moment, and said to Xia Lei: "A Lei, you are a good way to open a game hall. You think the profit is low, just because the business method needs to be optimized. ." Xia Lei lifted his spirits and immediately asked: "A Yu, tell me, I''ll listen to you." "You have seven game halls, and there are only thirty-five game consoles in total. The number is small. When you just came in, didn''t you see that many people had no machine to play and were watching behind others?" "One Hong Kong dollar and four game coins are very cheap. I tried the difficulty just now and found that the difficulty of the game is relatively simple. Such a game currency takes a long time to play. This is one of the reasons for limiting profits." "If the difficulty can be adjusted, then increase the difficulty of the game, and you will die more often." "The Kowloon City District is so big, how can seven game arcades be enough? Continue to open, how can the entire Kowloon City District be able to accommodate 200 game consoles? After increasing the difficulty, it will be open 24 hours a day, and one machine will earn 60 Hong Kong dollars a day. It shouldn''t be big." "If there are two hundred units, it is okay to have more than 10,000 a day. How can there be three to four hundred thousand in a month." "The game hall can also sell cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks. You don''t have one here. You can open it up. If you want the goods, you can go directly to my retail company." "Plus retail profits, more than 40,000 to 50,000 a month is not a big problem." "You don''t need to be limited to the Kowloon City District. The game hall is also considered a formal industry, and it can be opened in the 18 districts of Xiangjiang. This profit can be considerable." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Xia Lei¡¯s eyes were shining. According to his logical analysis, if it goes well, the game hall will be opened all over the Xiangjiang River. The game industry alone will earn millions of dollars a month, and it is still fair. money. Another thing is that every game hall must be guarded, so you can raise more subordinates. Of course there is also a risk, that is, opening the game hall to someone else''s territory, and local clubs and gangsters jealously and **** it. However, Xia Lei didn''t care about this issue. Everyone was a gangster, and the rules were still there. It was just a legitimate life. The big deal was to pay protection fees to the local community and make money. If someone is not reconciled, he is not scared, the big deal is to do it. After being the boss for a period of time, Xia Lei¡¯s vision and skills have been greatly improved. He knew that he should use his own advantages reasonably. At the critical moment, he said that he should not rely on the help of Xia Jun and Xia Yu¡¯s net. Several game halls took such a big risk. "A Lei, what A Yu said is so capable. If you succeed, you will be the king of Xiangjiang''s game." Xia Jun said with some envy. Xia Lei grinned and said directly: "A Yu, listen to you, tomorrow I will have someone do what you say." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then chatted with the two of them, and saw that it was too late, so they went home. Sitting in the car, Xia Yu closed his eyes to rest, but thought about video games in his mind. I suddenly wanted to play games tonight. Apart from some misses, I also thought of the video game industry. If he remembers well, the next ten years will be the golden decade of the video game industry, and the market is still very good. And games are also part of his grand entertainment strategy. As long as they are developed, not only will they make money now, but they will be able to make money continuously in the next few decades. For example, move games on arcades, home game consoles, handheld game consoles and other game consoles to computers and mobile phones to still make money. After all, as long as it is famous, the game is also a super big ip, and there is no limit to the money. Can you see that the previous life "The King of Fighters" is made into a movie? Although the box office is very low, the main reason is that the production team wasted on such a good subject. Similarly, in Xia Yu''s existing industry, especially Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the comics in it can be made into games, especially the comic "Pokemon". The previous life was still Nintendo¡¯s "Pokemon" game fire, and the comics and animations of "Pokemon" were created. Under Xia Yu''s intervention, in this life, comics and animations came out first, and the game has not yet appeared. Before Xia Yu was reborn, Nintendo was still making money on the gold mine of the "Pokemon" series. This series has earned at least several billion dollars for Nintendo from the beginning to the end for decades. For decades, no one knows. Furthermore, the video game industry is a high-tech industry after all, and it also involves chips. Whether it is for public or private use, the video game industry must be involved, and to be bigger and stronger, it is best to be the largest in the world. While making money, it contributes to Xiangjiang''s industrial transformation and can also add a bit of heritage to the mainland. With so many benefits, Xia Yu couldn''t remain unmoved. Instructing Xia Lei to open game arcades in Hong Kong tonight is also a pavement in advance, so that Xia Lei makes money while also building a good terminal channel. At that time, his game company is really going to do it. The arcades produced can be easily spread all over the Xiangjiang River, making the game consoles become a fire situation in the first time, attracting dealers from all over the world to take the goods immediately. This evening, Xia Yu was thinking about this. There is too little information available, he can only consider from the general direction. The next day, Xia Yu came to the office and told Huo Jianning: "Jianning, you are going to investigate the situation of the world''s video game industry. You are allowed to call the resources of the consortium, focusing on the island countries and the United States. When I come back, I will watch To the detailed report." "Yes!" Huo Jianning was surprised and immediately promised while holding a notebook to record. Knowing yourself and the other can win all battles. For the video game industry of this era, Xia Yu doesn''t know the actual situation, so he still knows the situation. Although it will take a relatively long period of time, Xia Yu will also leave Xiangjiang. I believe he should be able to see him when he returns. However, Xia Yu came back for more than a month and was ready to leave Xiangjiang, and his destination was the United Kingdom. He has received news from London that Gerald Pat defeated two opponents and successfully ran for the Mayor of London with 63% of the votes. Moreover, the advantage of the Conservative Party has been established. The 650 seats in the House of Commons have already won 322, accounting for 49.53%. As long as they win three more seats, they will win the general election, become the ruling party, and form a cabinet to govern. The Conservative Party has become a general trend. The Labour Party and the Liberal Party know that it is unstoppable. The coming to power of the Conservative Party involved the strategy of acquiring Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and Xia Yu had to pay attention to it. And for the Conservative Party and Gerald Pat, Xia Yu is a big investment. At this time, it seems that the harvest season is approaching. Even if the conditions are not mentioned for the time being, he must show his sense of existence, so as not to prevent Gerald Pat from posing. Improper position. So Xia Yu put down his job at Xiangjiang and boarded the plane to London again. Arriving at London Heathrow International Airport, after Xia Yu walked out of the VIP passage, he saw Liu Xiao and others waiting. After getting in the car, Xia Yu directly asked about the situation: "Liu Xiao, what have happened to me during the more than a month I have left?" PS: The second one is here. Please ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, thank you. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 603: British investment Liu Xiao condensed his eyebrows for a moment before he said, "Boss, you have been away for more than a month. If it is considered a major event, it will only be a general election." "In the late stage of the general election, the competition is very fierce, and the attention of the whole society is here. What is relevant to us is the successful election of Gerald Pat for the position of mayor of London. "Nothing big happened on the business side. What is relevant to us is that the price of gold in London has risen to $542 an ounce." "In other free time, we are collecting intelligence on the British business market, occasionally making investments, and that''s the situation." Xia Yu nodded slightly. It would be best if nothing happened. According to common sense, there would be no trouble in this critical period. His question was just to be on the safe side. After that, the car drove to Xia Yu''s manor. After lunch, he went to the London location of the Galaxy Fund to learn about the recent progress of Liu Xiao and others. The situation was not bad. Now that they hold London gold futures contracts in the medium and long term, they don''t need to change. Therefore, Liu Xiao and others have been idle, collecting business intelligence when they have nothing to do, and preparing for future plans. Xia Yu was very satisfied with their autonomous behavior. After encouraging Liu Xiao and others, he went to Guangming Fund Co., Ltd. again. "George." Amidst the staff¡¯s greetings, Xia Yu came to the office where the management was located. He happened to see George Berkeley walking out of an office holding a stack of documents. He seemed to be thinking about things. Yu, Xia Yu yelled softly. George Berkeley was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned around. After seeing Xia Yu, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly: "Boss, you are back." "Yeah! Go to my office and say!" "Ok!" After that, George Berkeley followed Xia Yu to the latter''s office. Xia Yu discovered that although he was absent for more than a month, his office was not stained, very clean and tidy. Obviously, it was cleaned every day, and the cracks in the leaf stems of the pot of green radish on the corner of the table were still crystal clear. Drops of water. Such a scene makes Xia Yu feel happy. "sit!" At Xia Yu''s order, George Berkeley sat opposite Xia Yu, with an elegant mahogany tea tray in the middle. Li Qian, who followed Xia Yu, picked up the teapot very naturally and prepared to make tea. "What''s the situation with the company recently?" Xia Yu leaned on the sofa, found a comfortable posture, and asked softly. George Berkeley thought for a while and said: "Boss, I have been handed over to Elena for the Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s acquisition. It is currently proceeding smoothly. The government has approved this step, but now the change of term is imminent, so the approval has not been answered yet." "The Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph are currently operating well." "I am mainly responsible for finding investment targets for the funds of the fund. I have invested in seven companies including Prudential Group, Alpha Access Insurance Company, Aviva Group, BP, Centric Group, Southern Scotland Power, and National Grid The total investment in stocks has accumulated to 570 million pounds." "The next step is to invest in stocks in the banking, pharmaceutical and retail industries. After analysis, these categories have relatively low investment risks and the overall trend is good." "The fund currently has one billion pounds of liquidity." "This is the company''s current situation." After speaking, George Berkeley looked at Xia Yu quietly. At this time, Xia Yu recalled what George Berkeley said. He set aside $3 billion for Bright Fund to invest in large companies in the UK, not only to make money, but also to prepare for future opportunities. Three billion U.S. dollars, when converted into pounds, exceeded 1.5 billion and less than 1.6 billion pounds. George Berkeley spent more than a month of 570 million pounds, and the efficiency was not bad. And the seven companies invested in, the first three are the three giants in the pound insurance industry, followed by oil and gas companies, and the last two are giants in the power industry. In general, the seven companies are divided into two categories, namely finance and energy. After Margaret came to power, Britain will carry out economic reforms, and the British economic situation will improve, so the financial company''s life will be better. And what Xia Yu knew was that Margaret began the privatization process as soon as she came to power, and was the first to use BP. It was normal for the company''s stock price to rise. As for the latter two power companies, although they will not say huge profits, their investment is quite stable and can be regarded as a relatively good investment target. Moreover, the Bright Fund holds the stocks of these large companies, which can rapidly expand its influence and popularity. "Well, just follow your plan." After returning to his senses, Xia Yu said to George Berkeley with a faint smile, who showed a relaxed smile upon hearing it. In his previous life, George Berkeley was the president of Goldman Sachs in the UK. His ability was naturally top-notch. After Xia Yu recognized the general direction, he believed that he would not invest randomly. After that, Xia Yu chatted with George Berkeley for a long time and let him continue to deal with work. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the house, he saw Elena walking by in a formal suit holding a folder. It happened that Elena also saw Xia Yu, and she suddenly showed a pure and beautiful smile. "Elena, long time no see!" "Boss, I didn''t expect you to come back. If Henry knew about it, he would jump up happily." "Oh? I don''t know if no one has looked at him for more than a month, have you insisted on it?" "You are not here, Henry works very hard, I see him get up early every morning to practice Kung Fu, he has a look now, he always said to let his master take a good look at his progress." Speaking of this, Elena brushed her hair with her right hand, pursing her lips and chuckling. This special style made Xia Yu''s eyes brighten It seems that I have not seen you for more than a month, and Elena has become more beautiful again. He couldn''t help but praised from the bottom of his heart: "Elena, I discovered that you are more beautiful than before." While speaking, he looked up and down at Elena with admiring eyes. Elena saw the calm appreciation and praise in Xia Yu''s eyes, and said cheerfully: "Really? Thank you for your praise." "By the way, boss, I will report to you the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company." "Come in and talk." With that said, Xia Yu brought Elena into the office. Seeing Li Qian in the office, Elena showed a friendly smile, and Li Qian responded with a smile. "Boss, the acquisition team is currently..." As soon as I sat down, Elena entered the working state and said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu listened attentively and nodded from time to time. For a long time, after Elena finished her report, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked her: "Did your father tell you anything?" Elena said softly: "My father said that he has gotten through the above relationship, and now he is stuck mainly because of the change of term, and the existence of objective factors makes it impossible to continue." "But as long as the Conservative Party comes to power, there will be no problems and the acquisition can be completed in May." Finally got the exact news, Xia Yu smiled. "it is good." "By the way, boss, will you go to my house for dinner tonight? Henry came back from school in the afternoon to ask his master for advice. If he knew you were here, he would be very happy." "Okay, I''m going to trouble you again tonight." "No trouble, it''s my honor..." PS: Ask for a ticket, thank you. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 604: Consortium formation This night, Xia Yu took Li Qian and Li Wuming to Elena¡¯s house. Henry, who had not been notified by his sister, suddenly saw Xia Yu and others appearing, especially when he saw Li Wuming, he jumped excitedly. Then excitedly pulled Li Wuming to show the results of his efforts. The next day, Gerald Pat learned that Xia Yu had come to London, and made a special call to Xia Yu, and took the initiative to invite Xia Yu to eat at his house. With such an attitude, Xia Yu was satisfied and he gladly agreed to go. Later, Xia Yu came to the headquarters of Huashang Bank, and Wu Hongyi specially invited him to tell him the specific process of the formation of the Chinese business consortium. "Tuk Tuk!" Entering the Huashang Bank, Xia Yu went straight to the door of Wu Hongyi''s office. Because the office was not closed, he saw Wu Hongyi who was immersed in work at a glance. He knocked on the door and then walked in. Wu Hongyi blinked his sour eyes and raised his head to see Xia Yu approaching with a smile. He was refreshed and stood up happily and walked towards Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, long time no see!" "Hongyi, I haven''t seen you for more than a month. Seeing you have experienced a lot of vicissitudes and pressure?" Wu Hongyi smiled bitterly, sighed and said, "It is indeed a lot of pressure, but the reason is that I am less experienced. Compared to the beginning, it is better now." "Thank you!" Xia Yu patted his arm and said sincerely. Wu Hongyi smiled freely and said: "The gain is far greater than the effort, and I will enjoy it no matter how hard it is." "Haha..." "Come on, sit down first, look at my documents." "it is good!" Xia Yu sat on the sofa and saw Wu Hongyi took out the key to open the safe in the corner, took out a thick pile of documents from it, and walked over and placed it on the small round table next to the coffee table. "Let''s take a look first. This is a total of nine equity contracts of the corresponding companies that have been replaced after more than a month." After that, Wu Hongyi made tea on his own. Xia Yu was not polite, picked up the top contract and looked at it. "Shusha..." After looking at the documents, Xia Yu kept thinking and analyzing in his mind, and occasionally paused to drink tea. Wu Hongyi didn''t bother and looked at Xia Yu quietly, while sorting out his thoughts, preparing to talk to Xia Yu about the details of the preparation of the Chinese business consortium later. Nine companies, large and small, are distributed in various industries. There is only one in one industry. These nine companies will be the core companies of the Chinese business consortium in the future. Wu Hongyi didn''t pay any money, but simply replaced these companies with shares of China Commercial Bank. Soon after Xia Yu left London, Huashang Bank completed the privatization process. The equity ratio was 64%. The Wu family occupies six floors and Xia Yu occupies four floors. The total equity of Huashang Bank is 10 million shares. The stocks exchanged with other companies belong to the additional issuance of Huashang Bank. This model is conducive to Wu Jia and Xia Yu''s control of Huashang Bank, and it is also more convenient to exchange shares. Every company that wants to join must take out the company''s equity with a value higher than the stock offered by Huashang Bank without paying a penny, so as to prevent Wu Jia and Xia Yu from losing money. For example, assuming that 500,000 shares are added, the total equity of Huashang Bank becomes 10.5 million shares, Wujia¡¯s equity ratio will drop from 60% to 57.1%, and Xia Yu¡¯s equity ratio will change from 60% to 57.1%. 40% dropped to 38.09%, and new shareholders accounted for 4.76%. Originally, the 4.76% of the equity belonged to the Wu family and Xia Yu, but now it has become a new shareholder. It stands to reason that the new shareholder should give the Wu family and Xia Yu money, but now there is no need to give money, only the equity replacement . After the equity replacement, it belongs to the three shareholders, that is, part of the interests belong to the new shareholders. Therefore, the new shareholders must take out shares of the corresponding company whose value is higher than the 4.76% equity of Huashang Bank, so as to ensure that the interests of Wu Jia and Xia Yu are not violated. After the second company replaces its shares, and then issues new shares, the ratio of the original three shareholders'' equity will fall again. In this way, as each company''s equity is replaced, the total value of Huashang Bank will rise by a notch. Moreover, after each company replaces its equity, the condition is that the liquidity goes to the account of Huashang Bank, which makes the assets of Huashang Bank continue to rise and the value continues to rise. Companies that join later will either take out more equity or choose less equity in China Commercial Bank. But everyone knows that as soon as the Huashang Consortium was established, the value of Huashang Bank was infinite, so the Wu family and Xia Yu had the final say on how much equity it took out. After the replacement of the nine companies, the total equity of Huashang Bank has become 12.1 million shares, the shareholding ratio of the Wu family has dropped to 49.58%, and the shareholding ratio of Xia Yu has dropped to 33.05%. The stock is 2.1 million shares. The nine companies collectively hold 17.35% of the equity, and the largest one will not exceed 3%. And as more and more companies join in, if the companies that have joined in the front want to ensure that their shareholding ratio does not drop, they need to get the consent of Wu Jia and Xia Yu before they can take out their own company¡¯s equity replacement again, and will not accept any capital purchases. Share application. The Huashang Bank is the core of the Chinese business consortium in the future. The meaning and value of stocks are no longer limited to pure asset value. Unless Wu Jia and Xia Yu are stupid, they will exchange it for money. In the previous discussions between Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu, in order to ensure that the control of the Chinese business consortium would not be taken away by outsiders, to be conservative, the combined equity of the two parties should be more than 51%, preferably between 55% and 60%. between. Now that 17.35% has been replaced, there is still room for 22.65% to 27.65%. It is no problem to absorb 15 more companies. The two have already negotiated that the number of core companies at the start of the Chinese Business Consortium is the best in more than 20. Xia Yu put down the last document, took up the tea and drank it, and said with a slight emotion: "Hongyi, we have completed nine companies in more than a month, and the efficiency is really high!" Wu Hongyi laughed and said: "The main reason is that the general trend is on our side. The CEOs of the companies I looked for, after I drew them the pie of the Chinese business consortium, none of them could bear the temptation. The only difficulty was that The value and ratio of equity replacement." "The initiative is on our side, they are not stupid, even if it is to defeat competitors, they will rush to join." "You just came back and don''t know the situation. Now that we are taking the lead in preparing for the establishment of a Chinese business consortium, it has spread among Chinese businessmen. I don''t have to take the initiative to find it. Those companies take the initiative to find it, and the threshold will be crushed." Hearing this, Xia Yu also smiled, and the current situation is the same as he had previously expected. In fact, the same is true. Although there are five or six banks established by Chinese in the UK, the one that can be well-known in the UK is the Chinese Commercial Bank. The others are small and unknown banks. Only the Wu Family and Huashang Bank are qualified and capable to form a consortium. So this is the only boat that British Huasheng can board. Chinese businessmen are not qualified to go on the British ship. Even if they move in, they will be eaten up. They are doomed to a dead end. Everyone used to swim across the river Suddenly my competitor crossed the river by boat. As time goes by, there is a high probability that swimming will be drowned. The value of this ticket can be imagined! Those who are not rushing to join can only say that their vision is not long-term enough, and that such people will be eliminated from the market sooner or later. "Hony, according to the current situation, the Chinese Business Consortium will be established in the second half of this year." ¡°Absolutely, there is no need for us to ask for someone to join. The efficiency is very high. Even if I improve my efforts, I can screen out more than a dozen companies in two months at most. After the core company is set, the consortium manager meeting can be formed.¡± Xia Yu nodded slightly, remembering Ye Huanrong¡¯s previous request when he called himself, and said to Wu Hongyi: ¡°By the way, Hongyi, Ye Huanrong¡¯s Rongye industry has great potential, and he will be absorbed by his company.¡± Wu Hongyi nodded: "Okay, Rongye Hong has submitted an application. Because of its smaller size, it is temporarily ranked behind and has not yet been reviewed. I will resolve it these days." He also knows that Xia Yu invested in Rongyehang. As far as he knows, among all Chinese business enterprises in the UK, Xia Yu only invested in Rongyehang. Even if Xia Yu does not mention it today, he will absorb Rongyehang later. Come in. Now Xia Yu mentioned it, natural and special affairs. "Xia Yu, I have some questions for you to consult..." Afterwards, Wu Hongyi consulted Xia Yu about the problems encountered in the formation of the consortium. During the discussion between the two, Chinese businessmen came to the door from time to time, while Xia Yu sat quietly and had tea and let Wu Hongyi play. Unknowingly, the morning passed. After eating at the Phoenix Building at noon, Xia Yu went to the Galaxy Fund to check the British business information collected by Liu Xiao and others, looking for opportunities to make a fortune. PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 605: Capital and politics (3,400 words) "Xia Yu, the time is almost there, shouldn''t it be time to get ready to go?" While Xia Yu was concentrating on browsing business information, Li Qian, who had always remembered Xia Yu''s reminder, checked the time and found that it was already 5:30 in the afternoon, so she whispered in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu blinked a little dry eyes, smiled slightly at Li Qian, stood up and said, "Well, let''s change clothes first." "um hum!" Then, the two entered the rest room in the office and changed into a set of relatively casual clothes. "Let''s go, buy some fruit first." After some preparations, it was more than six o''clock, and Xia Yu arrived at Gerald Pat''s door at six thirty on time. "Ding Dong!" Gerald Pat''s family of four are his wife Mary, son Lyle, and daughter Camilla. His son Lyle was already in college and was not at home. The 12-year-old daughter Camilla was watching TV in the living room. When she heard the doorbell, she jumped off the sofa and ran to open the door. Seeing Xia Yu and Li Qian standing at the door, Camilla felt a little familiar, blinking her big beautiful eyes, Qiao Shengsheng asked, "Are you Uncle Xia?" "It''s me, lovely Camilla, good evening!" "A gift for you at this time!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and at the same time handed the Barbie doll set gift box to the little girl Camilla. European and American girls have almost zero resistance to Barbie dolls. Looking at the Barbie doll in the transparent packaging bag, Camilla was surprised, took the gift box with both hands, and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle, uncle and aunt, come in! " As soon as Xia Yu came in, he saw Gerald Pat walking over with a smile, looking at the big gift that Xia Yu and Li Qian were carrying, and quickly took it over, saying, "Mr. Xia, You are so polite that you still bought so many gifts." "Hehe, our Chinese etiquette, you can''t visit with your hands empty-handed." Xia Yu said with a slight smile. Gerald Pat smiled and enthusiastically greeted Xia Yu and Li Qian to sit down: "Sit down, please!" "Camilla, do you thank you uncle and aunt?" "Dad, I have it!" "First put the gift back in the room, come and help learn how to make tea, next time Uncle Xia is here, I want you to make tea." "Well, I''ll be back soon." Camilla said reluctantly, but after all, she had a tutor, so she cleverly put the gift back into the room. Xia Yu smiled and exclaimed: "Camilla is still so obedient and cute, Mr. Gerrard, you are very educated." "Thank you!" "Mr. Xia, Ms. Li, welcome you!" At this time, Mary wearing an apron brought a dish to the table and put it down, and then greeted Xia Yu and Li Qian enthusiastically. "Thank you!" Xia Yu got up to thank him, and then glanced at Li Qian, who knew, walked up to Mary with a sweet smile, and said, "Ms. Mary, is there anything I can do?" "Oh, you are a guest, resting in the living room, I can be alone..." "..." Seeing Li Qian entering the kitchen halfway through Mary, Xia Yu and Gerald Pat looked at each other and smiled, and Camilla walked out of the room again, watching her father''s tea making. Time passed like a white horse. It was around eight o''clock in the evening in a blink of an eye. Dinner was over. Li Qian and Mary cleaned the table. Xia Yu and Gerald Pat returned to the living room sofa to make tea. It''s time to talk about business if you are full of wine and food. After all, the British private dining habits are different from China''s. During the meal, they don''t talk about work. During the meal, they only talked about various topics occasionally. Both of them tacitly left the business in the rest time later. "Mr. Gerrard, congratulations on becoming the Mayor of London. I believe that in the next five years, London will become more prosperous under your governance." Xia Yu congratulated. "Thank you!" "Mr. Xia, I cannot succeed in the election without your important help. I have always kept it in my heart. If there is anything I can help in the future, I will do my best without violating the principles!" Now in his own home, facing the big benefactor of Xia Yu, Gerald Pat did not hide his words, and solemnly promised after thanking him. He was not complacent because he became the mayor of London. As a qualified politician, he was able to clearly position himself at any time. Yes, he is the mayor of London, and he is considered a high-level person in the UK, but he is very clear that the capital is the largest in the UK, and Xia Yu can help him ascend to the position of mayor of London, and is also capable of pulling him down. In the final analysis, although the mayor of London is a high-powered one, it is only a profession. If you offend Xia Yu, it is almost impossible for him to be re-elected after five years. When he loses his rights, he will be nothing. Xia Yu will take care of him. ,easy. For Xia Yu, who supported him, he was very clear. He naturally knew that Xia Yu was the controller of a regional consortium, and his tentacles had reached the UK. He had a great relationship with Duke Howard, one of the important allies of the Conservative Party. The signs indicate that Xia Yu is a golden thigh. This golden thigh took the initiative to throw an olive branch at him, and of course he clung to it and was reluctant to let go. This would be one of his strong foundations on the political road in the future. In the UK, capital cannot do without the aid of politics. The same politics also depends heavily on capital. Only with capital support can he realize his policy propositions and go higher and further on the political road. Hearing Gerald Pat''s confession, Xia Yu was slightly taken aback and looked straight at him, who frankly met Xia Yu. After a few seconds, Xia Yu laughed and said with satisfaction, "Mr. Gerrard, there is a reason why you can be in a high position so young." Gerald Pat heard the hidden meaning in Xia Yu''s words and smiled modestly. "My company is developing very well, and it is not bad for funds. Now it can develop rapidly." "By the way, has your city government team started to build?" Xia Yu first said lightly, meaning that he didn''t need his help now, but instead cared about his control of the City of London government. Gerald Pat was stunned. He didn''t know why Xia Yu asked this question. He hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "The construction has already begun, because the previous mayor came from the Labor Party. I want to better realize my policy propositions. , I need to build a team that works with me. It will take some time for the time being, but I don¡¯t think the problem is big." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said softly, "If this is the case, then that would be great." "By the way, Mr. Gerrard, I have established a new private equity fund, which just needs investors. You can ask who in the City of London government is interested in investing. You can recommend it to me." "I believe you should know my financial capabilities. This fund has no risk. The guaranteed annual return on investment is more than 50%. If you are interested, you might as well invest." Hearing this, Gerald Pat''s eyes brightened and he looked straight at Xia Yu. Seeing the latter with a smile on his face, he nodded at him profoundly. He was overjoyed and nodded and said, "Of course I am interested. You are known as a stock god. I heard that your company established a fund. Investors can''t get the investment quota. Of course I will not miss it." "I believe that those colleagues in the city government will rush to invest after they learn about your private equity fund." With that said, Gerald Pat yelled in his heart that he did not hold the wrong thigh, and now not only gave him benefits, but also helped him control the city government. Politicians in Europe and the United States are just a profession, and their rights are far less than that of China Mainland. On the contrary, the risks are not small. A stable and reasonable economic source is extremely important. In the political system of Europe and America, politicians serve capitalists more, and capitalists will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and are rich and wealthy. The private equity fund mentioned by Xia Yukou now is a common form. Politicians invest in private equity funds and receive reasonable dividends. The benefits of dividends will definitely be much higher than their wages. What politicians need to do is to protect the interests of capitalists within a reasonable range and speak out for capitalists. But not all politicians are eligible to be supported by capitalists. Gerald Pat has this qualification. There are also some people in the City of London who have this qualification, but most people are not qualified. This means that if these people No corruption, and relying on low wages, the whole family will not have a good life. Now Gerald Pat holds the quota of Xia Yu''s guaranteed private equity fund, which is extremely attractive to those people. This will be an important bargaining chip for him to quickly control the state government of the City of London. It can be said that this private equity fund of Xia Yu will give him an important boost in personal wealth and career. How can he be unhappy? "Mr. Xia, thank you!" Gerald Pat solemnly thanked. Xia Yu smiled carelessly: "Don''t thank me, I have never been stingy to help me." "By the way, in the days to come, I will increase my investment in the UK, at least 500 million pounds. The specific investment is still uncertain. If London has a suitable opportunity, I can also invest in London." 500 million pounds! This number shook Gerald Pat''s mind for a moment. He was short of breath, and immediately reacted, knowing that this was Xia Yu reminding him that he was not reserved at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured , I am a person who knows how to be grateful." "The economic rise of the City of London requires a large amount of capital, and there is definitely a suitable opportunity. I will inform you as soon as I find it If you have investment goals, please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to serve you ." 500 million pounds, Gerald Pat did not doubt Xia Yu''s strength. If these 500 million pounds are invested in the City of London, he will put a heavy touch on his political achievements. Now that the Conservative Party has become a general trend, after the leader Margaret takes office, a series of policies will be launched to stimulate economic development and allow Britain to rise again. This requires a large amount of capital, especially foreign investment. If he can get 500 million pounds of investment shortly after taking office as the mayor of London, his name will definitely resound throughout the UK, and the position of the mayor of London will instantly be as stable as a mountain. At this moment, Gerald Pat was deeply moved. He was so lucky to have a super golden thigh. He secretly strengthened his belief and said nothing to offend Xia Yu. Xia Yu saw Gerard Pat¡¯s expression and probably guessed his thoughts, which was exactly what he wanted. There is a saying that ten birds in the forest is not as good as one in the forest. Although there are many more seniors in the UK than Gerald Pat, the higher the position of those people, the easier it is to deal with the big British consortium. His Help is not so important. That''s why he caught Gerald Pat, who is just a political star and has not yet risen, to invest at the beginning, so that he can be firmly bound. The time is not yet, and he doesn''t make any demands to reduce Gerald Pat''s vigilance. When the time comes later, he will never be embarrassed to speak up, so as to obtain greater benefits. In this way, Gerald Pat, whose mentality changed again, was more enthusiastic and friendly towards Xia Yu, and the two men with their own calculations began to chat in full swing. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 606: 3 banks Tying Gerald Pat to the chariot made Xia Yu feel more at ease. This means that in British politics, he finally has a **** that can give him some help at many critical times. Although he has a good relationship with the Howard family, the Howard family is too strong, and Xia Yu is not sure to tie him to the chariot for the time being, so when he draws on his power, he has to beware. In the face of interests, no matter how good the relationship is, it may break. As the owner of a consortium, he must be cautious and cautious in this regard, and give himself more back and bargaining chips, so as not to be caught by the weakness and cause irreversible loss! He only believes in his own strength! Relying on the sky and the earth is worse than relying on yourself! For the next period of time, Xia Yu put his mind on the Bright Fund. His career is still in the early stages of development. He seems to have huge funds now, but it is not enough to put it in front of a real consortium. Every penny should be used as much as possible. There is nothing wrong with the strategy of investing in holding shares of major British companies. But there are too many large companies in the UK. Not only British companies are listed on the London Stock Exchange, but there are also large companies from various European countries. Xia Yu''s 3 billion US dollars can also bubble up on it. Moreover, he has an infinite wealth of memory and puts the money in the stock market to maintain its value. His goal is to expand his influence from the beginning to the end, or to lay an opportunity for future acquisitions. . Just like the previous acquisitions of shares in companies such as Centric Group, Southern Scotland Power, and the British National Grid Corporation, there is such a strategic plan. As long as you catch a company that will multiply tenfold in the future, you will make a lot of money. Therefore, when the Bright Fund wanted to invest in bank stocks, Xia Yu also participated and selected the stocks of three companies. They are HSBC Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland! HSBC Holdings, which has several subsidiaries, including Hong Kong HSBC Bank, has a huge influence. At this time, HSBC Holdings can rank among the top five banks in the UK, both in terms of capital and market value. Although the shares of HSBC Holdings are relatively dispersed, these shares are in the hands of major British families or consortia. He heard that Duke Howard has a small portion, so if he wants to acquire HSBC Holdings, even if the capital is sufficient, he will face the United Kingdom. This is not something that money can solve for the major family consortia in China. With his current strength, connections, status and influence, it is too difficult. But this does not prevent his Bright Fund from becoming a shareholder of HSBC Holdings. It would be ideal if he could hold 5% of the equity and win a seat on the board of directors. Fortunately, HSBC Holdings has long been listed and has absorbed 5% of the equity in the secondary market. It is still possible to buy it at a large price. As long as Bright Fund becomes a director of HSBC Holdings, Xia Yu will be able to use the energy of HSBC Holdings to accelerate its own rise in the future. If one day, his strength is extremely strong, it may not be impossible to covet HSBC Holdings. The second one is Standard Chartered Bank, which is much worse than HSBC Holdings. Now the total capital can''t even enter the top ten positions of British local banks. If it is a single round of British domestic strength, let alone the top ten of British banks, the former Twenty may not get in. Not to mention those foreign banks. Standard Chartered Bank, also known as Standard Chartered Bank, was formed by the merger of two British overseas banks, namely the British South African Standard Bank and the Indian New Jinshan China Standard Chartered Bank in 1969. In the UK, the strength of Standard Chartered Bank is very weak, that is, after the merger and listing in 1969, it acquired the local Hodge Group and Wallace Brothers Group. It has a certain degree of influence in the UK, but it is not strong. The strengths of Standard Chartered Bank are in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. For example, in Africa, Standard Chartered Bank now has more than 900 branches and offices, which shows its terror. If Xia Yu can acquire Standard Chartered Bank, his financial tentacles can instantly reach Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. With the advantages of Standard Chartered Bank, he has certain advantages in energy, mining and other fields. . Not to mention that Standard Chartered Bank still has the right to issue 10% of Hong Kong dollar notes, and it is also the second largest bank in Hong Kong. If the acquisition is completed, with Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank in Hong Kong, Xia Yu can definitely fight against HSBC and become one of the second overlords. His influence will also skyrocket and he will become the first Chinese tycoon in Hong Kong. Because Standard Chartered Bank has business and loan relationships with more than 60% of HeungKong''s companies, such a high ratio is also because a company may have loans from several banks, and it can be a customer of Standard Chartered Bank as well as a customer of HSBC. Of course this is not important. As long as Xia Yu becomes the owner of Standard Chartered Bank, he will instantly become the God of Wealth and major creditor of 60% of Heung Kong''s companies. Until then, if he wants to acquire any company, it will be easy, and he will even be pleasantly surprised to find that Standard Chartered Bank holds a part of the equity in the company he wants to acquire. Just think about it! As it happens, Standard Chartered Bank was not listed in Hong Kong, but listed in London, England. This was extremely beneficial to Xia Yu''s acquisition. Before the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank had reacted, Xia Yu became their boss. UU reading www.uukanshu. com The last target, the Royal Bank of Scotland, is Xia Yu''s most important thing. The same difficulty is estimated to be the most difficult, but it is also the most valuable. The Royal Bank of Scotland in the future was once the largest commercial bank in the UK, the second largest in Europe, and the fifth largest in the world. In 2004, the market value rose to nearly 50 billion pounds, and the group''s total assets reached 520 billion pounds. By 2009, the total assets reached 3.5 trillion US dollars. But in the future, the Royal Bank of Scotland is still only a little-known British regional commercial bank in the world, ranking several hundred in the World Bank rankings. Nevertheless, the Royal Bank of Scotland is not too bad. This ancient bank established in 1727 is the largest bank in Scotland, with more than 700 branches and a 40% market share in Scotland. The second largest market share in Scotland is the Bank of Scotland, at least the word Royal. Both banks have a characteristic, that is, their capital scale is small, but their management is very good, and the expense-to-income ratio is particularly low. At this time, the fee income rate of Royal Bank of Scotland is only 54%, while the second Bank of Scotland is even lower, only 48%. Whether it is Lloyds Bank or Barclays Bank, the fee income rate is above 60%. It is precisely because of the low expense-income rate that is more conducive to the management and operation of the bank. Although the capital scale is small, it is undeniably a high-quality potential bank in the banking industry. In the future, the Royal Bank of Scotland will be able to resonate throughout the world. Of course, from this point of view, the Bank of Scotland has a greater advantage than the Royal Bank of Scotland. Why doesn''t Xia Yu target the Bank of Scotland? https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 607: Financial Empire Building Strategy The reason lies in the extra word Royal! The Royal Bank of Scotland has two unparalleled special advantages because of these two words. The first is the royal charter, which is a legacy of history and has not been cancelled. The royal charter was issued by King George I who ruled the Hanover region of Germany and the dynasty of England when it was first established in 1727. This is the entire Bank of England. The only privilege of the industry, even the Bank of England does not have this honor. Why is it now the Windsor dynasty and this only royal charter has not been cancelled? That¡¯s because the Windsor dynasty and the Hanover dynasty came in the same line. By the time George V, the First World War broke out. Britain fought against Germany. The British royal family and the German royal family were cousins. In order to appease the people, a Privy Council decree was issued on July 17, 1917, announcing that the names of the British royal family and the private surnames of the royal family''s paternal descendants were changed to Windsor, and the Windsor dynasty came from this. The royal family is still there, but the name is different. Naturally, this concession issued by King George I will not be cancelled. To put it bluntly, this royal franchise is a special operating license granted by the royal family, and the royal family charges a certain fee. The Royal Bank of Scotland can use the name of national institutions and the royal family to operate, using the credibility of the country and the credibility of the royal family. For example, in the eyes of the people in Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland with the word Royal is no worse than the Bank of England, which is the Bank of England, and even has a much higher credibility. This is a private enterprise that is more like a state-owned enterprise than a state-owned enterprise. The word royal franchise is like the word "China" of a state-owned enterprise in mainland China. Private enterprises cannot use these two words at all, and registered companies are not allowed to approve. Consider that there are so many Guozi head companies in China, but in the UK, the Royal Bank is the only bank with no semicolon, and its value is higher! The Royal Bank of Scotland can become the largest bank in Scotland when the expense ratio is higher than that of the Bank of Scotland. Royal Charter is an extremely important factor. Although the Royal Bank of Scotland has not yet made its way out of Scotland, with the word Royal, it will have a huge advantage to leave the UK and enter Europe. Naturally, it gives the people a certain degree of confidence that the future Royal Bank of Scotland can become the second largest in Europe. Banks also have this reason. In addition to this advantage, the second advantage of Royal Bank of Scotland is that it has the right to design and issue British pounds on its own. To put it simply, it has the right to issue British pounds! Although it is not too big, but there is it! A private bank has the right to issue banknotes that the central bank of England has. This is absolutely impossible in China, but it is true in the UK. There are three banks in the entire UK that have the right to issue British pounds. Except for the Bank of England, which is a subsidiary of the Central Bank, and the Royal Bank of Scotland, the third is also a Scottish bank, and it is also a small, little-known bank-Scotland Clydesdale Bank. Although this small bank has the right to issue British pounds, its power is too small and can only issue small denominations, and the Clydesdale Bank of Scotland is only a small regional bank, which Xia Yu looks down on for the time being. Although the Bank of England and the Royal Bank of Scotland both have the right to issue British pounds, there are also differences. The pound sterling issued by the Bank of England is valid throughout the United Kingdom, and the head of Elizabeth II is printed on the pound sterling. But the pound sterling theoretically issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland can only enjoy the status of legal circulation in Scotland. But after more than two hundred years, it can actually circulate in the entire United Kingdom. When everyone recognizes the value of the pound sterling, the paper will naturally be valid. Even the law cannot stop public opinion across the country. Unlike the British pound issued by the Bank of England, the head of the British pound issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland is called Elizabeth I. Although they are all the same person, for historical reasons, Elizabeth I, who ruled England at that time, did not rule Scotland. It was in Elizabeth II. It is ruled throughout the world, so even though it is the same person, there are different titles in the history books of England and Scotland, and of course the paper money is different. Of course, because the British pound issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland can also be circulated throughout the UK, it does not matter which portrait is printed. The Royal Bank of Scotland, a bank in the Scottish region, has been listed. This is Xia Yu''s opportunity. He is a native of Hong Kong. He has not returned at this time. In terms of household registration, he naturally belongs to the British nationality and is legally qualified to acquire the Royal Bank of Scotland. And in order to reduce resistance, he will not yell and wait for the world to know that he is going to buy Royal Bank of Scotland. He will only buy it quietly and hide himself under the water. The truth is that he has really gotten the benefits. Think about it in later generations, after the return of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong dollar issuance rights are not unified in the hands of HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and HeungKong Bank of China. This is a shame. He was also indignant after knowing this fact. Now that he has this opportunity, Xia Yu will naturally not let it go. If he is a Chinese who holds one of the rights to issue pound sterling, he will be happy to think about it. The point is that it has operability and is not purely whimsical. These three target banks have invested in HSBC Holdings and become directors, and they will have a certain degree of influence in the UK. After the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, under the complementarity of the two, Xia Yu''s financial empire will cover the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. At that time, as long as the Bank of Scotland becomes a large British bank and rushes into Europe, finds a fulcrum in the United States, acquires or cultivates a heavyweight bank, Xia Yu can truly become a world-class financial leader, although not A handful of the best in the world, but it has also entered the world class, right? With the foundation of a world-class bank, large capital injections, continuous mergers and acquisitions will be very simple. With a world-class bank, his Jiuding consortium will be able to break free from the shackles of regional consortiums, so as to break out of Hong Kong and even Asia, and be qualified to compete with major consortiums in Europe and America. The lofty ideals and the glorious future come from every step underfoot, and the most important thing now is to realize his vision. In the office of the president of the Bright Fund, Xia Yu looked at George Berkeley who raised his head in shock, and said calmly: "George, you don''t have to worry about funding. Are you sure to implement this plan?" George Berkeley was in a state of chaos, shocked by the boss'' grand strategy, and he was under pressure. Fortunately, the boss told him not to worry about funds, otherwise he would definitely be out of breath. He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Boss, I can''t guarantee you before it is implemented, but I will do my best to implement your great plan." "I need enough time." Xia Yu gave him an appreciative look and said encouragingly: "I will give you enough time. It must be completed within two years. If there are any difficulties or emergencies, you must report to me as soon as possible, and I will give you enough. support!" Giving George Berkeley two years is also a buffer period for Xia Yu. Now with his influence and financial resources, he acquired two banks at the same time and allowed them to develop rapidly. Capital is not enough. But he is confident that in one or two years, his wealth will skyrocket, and his status will be higher, his influence will be stronger, his capital will be stronger, and the acquisition difficulty will be lower. But there is no need to let George Berkeley know these things, lest he think too much and shake his faith. Hearing that for two years, George Berkeley breathed a sigh of relief, beaming with joy, and said gratefully: "Thank you boss, I will not let you down." "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile. "By the way, recently, I will arrange one more thing for you. I am interested in HeungKong Land Group, but I am not in harmony with the Keswick family. Now someone in the Keswick family wants to withdraw and return to the UK. You will come forward. Try to buy me equity in the Land Group." "This is the details and number of shares held by the members of the Keswick family." "Acquire as soon as possible, and temporarily rank first in the work order." With that, Xia Yu took out a thin document from the drawer and handed it to George Berkeley. George Berkeley took over and replied solemnly: "Understand, boss, I will execute it immediately." "Hmm! Do you have anything to ask?" Xia Yu asked. George Berkeley shook his head: "Not for the time being. If there is a problem halfway, I will report to you." "it is good!" "Then you go ahead!" "Goodbye boss!" Watching George Berkeley exit and slowly close the office, Xia Yu stood up, stretched his waist comfortably, and the corners of his mouth showed a curve of expectation. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:.

On May 1st, the Conservative Party once again defeated the Labour Party in Middlesbrough and took a seat in the House of Commons. At this point, the Conservative Party finally won 326 seats in the House of Commons, more than 50%, becoming the majority party. This day is a day of carnival for the Conservative Party. Most of the Labour Party members are depressed, but they did not give up hope. The leader of the Labour Party immediately summoned the top leaders of the party to implement the second plan and compete for more government positions for the next general election. Accumulate strength. On May 4, summoned by the Queen of England, Margaret Thatcher, leader of the Conservative Party, went to Buckingham Palace. In the anticipation of all, Margaret Thatcher was signed and appointed as the 49th British Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and he was appointed to form a cabinet immediately. On this day, the atmosphere within the Conservative Party was better than the previous few days, with Conservative Party members holding private gatherings across the country. Xia Yu also let the "Financial Times" and "Daily Telegraph" report and express his blessings. Jiuding News Agency in the United Kingdom also sent the news back to Xiangjiang for the first time. Jiuding News obtained Xia Yu¡¯s order in advance and made a series of in-depth analyses on Margaret and the Conservative Party. As soon as it was reported, it immediately aroused the popularity of Hong Kong people, the sales and influence greatly increased, and Jiuding Newspaper Company thrived. Two flowers bloom and one branch each, and let me tell you the latest news about Marguerite forming a cabinet. In order to facilitate the smooth implementation of policies, the political views of cabinet members should best be consistent with those of the prime minister. Even within the same political party, opinions cannot be unified. Political opinions are the hallmark of a politician, and they are not easily changed. Therefore, there are opponents in the same party, but politics in the hostile party. Advocate supporters. This is the case with European politics. Partisanship and political views do not need to be consistent. Joining a certain party is just to better climb up and display your ambitions. As long as there is ability and opportunity, political parties can be changed, just as Michael Bloomberg switched back and forth between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States, and even strongly criticized his previous party. Of course, as the leader of the Conservative Party, Margaret should choose as many members of the Conservative Party as members of the cabinet formed, which will help strengthen her prestige in the Conservative Party. But as the prime minister of a country, the importance is more important than the leader of the Conservative Party, so when forming the cabinet, Margaret will also choose people from the Labor Party or the Liberal Party. With the strength of the Labor Party and the Liberal Party, people will definitely be inserted into the cabinet. Rather than arranging people who are inconsistent with political views, it is better to use this as a bargaining chip to independently choose people with consistent political views, which will make the new cabinet more united. Her decree More unobstructed. The formation of political synergy is the best for a country. After so many years of observation, as well as this general election, what are the characteristics of each politician and what stand they have, there are special people in the Conservative Party who have registered. When the general election situation became clear, Margaret and his staff behind them began to make plans for the list of cabinet members. As soon as she took office as prime minister, her plan was immediately released. If there are new changes, the most beneficial adjustments will be made according to the actual situation. After the general election, the dispute over cabinet candidates became a new focus. Because the matter of busy forming the cabinet has not yet settled, the three parties are in fierce competition. The approval of the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition has not yet been processed. Xia Yu is not in a hurry. He has been waiting for a few months. It''s not bad for a few days now. I feel bored because I have been busy with work. On Saturday, Xia Yu planned to take Li Qian to relax. It happened that Henry also came to Guangming Fund Company on Saturday, and Elena was also idle for a while, and his brother and sister teamed up with Xia Yu. . Together, Elena was the tour guide and went to Oxford University, her alma mater. It happened that Xia Yu and Li Qian had never been. Oxford University is located in Oxfordshire, northwest of London, about 60 miles away from London, nearly 100 kilometers away. It departs at 8:30 in the morning and arrives in Oxford, Oxfordshire at 10:20 in the morning. It stands to reason that in order to take care of the two girls and the little boy Henry, Xia Yu had better let the car drive to the door of Oxford University. But the reality is that Oxford University has no school gate at all. Even if you look at the map, you can''t find the location of Oxford University. Just because Oxford University is very special, this UK¡¯s oldest and most famous university is different from traditional universities. There are no walls, gates and campuses here, and even no signboards. It now has only 35 independent colleges distributed throughout the entire Various locations in the town. In other words, the entire University of Oxford constitutes the city of Oxford, or the entire city of Oxford belongs to the scope of Oxford University, so local people generally do not refer to Oxford University or Oxford City, but rather called Oxford University City. The school-running model of Oxford University belongs to the federal system of colleges, which is a major feature of British institutions. The relationship between colleges and schools in the federal system of running academies is like the federal relationship between the central government and local governments in the United States. Each college has a high degree of autonomy, ownership of land, industry, capital, economic and teaching independence, and universities The headquarters is just a joint administrative organization of the colleges. It can be said that each college is equivalent to an independent small university. After the car entered the city of Oxford, there were old buildings on both sides of the road, and company signs were hung at the door of many buildings, and the companies were very dense. This is due to Oxford University¡¯s industry-university-research model. There are as many as 100 companies derived from Oxford University¡¯s colleges alone. Together with those companies that covet outstanding students and professors from Oxford University, the city of Oxford has only 150,000 people. There are more than 1500 companies. The British company under Xia Yu will definitely set up a branch here in the future, just to compete for resources from the source and enhance competitiveness. After all, top talent is the greatest resource. Of course, these are the affairs of the future president of the company. Xia Yu now just wants to accompany everyone to play with a relaxed mind. "Elena, what kind of knowledge does this college teach?" Li Qian looked at the surrounding ancient buildings with curious eyes, and suddenly saw many students entering a gate. She looked at it and said Exeter College. She asked Elena curiously. Elena took a look and said with a smile: "This college is the fourth oldest college in Oxford, with majors in literature and history. The most distinctive is the major in literature. This is the modern British writer Tolkien. Graduated from the college." "Oh oh!" Li Qian looked at it again, suddenly. Xia Yu squinted his eyes for a few seconds and nodded slightly. He vaguely remembered that Mr. Qian Zhongshu, who is known as "Cultural Kunlun", also obtained a bachelor''s degree from Exeter College. "Elena, which college did you study at?" Xia Yu asked curiously. He only knew that Elena was majoring in business administration. He also knew the well-known Oxford University Said Business School, but Said Business School It shouldn''t be established yet. Elena pulled her hair lightly, smiled gently, and said: "Oxford University focuses more on liberal arts majors. The business administration major was established in recent years, and now it belongs to the research management center. I am the fifth batch of students enrolled. The research management center also has three majors. I heard from my instructor that at the right time, the research management center will be transformed into a business school." "In fact, because the majors are set up in accordance with the business school template, our students are also used to it in private. Call the Research Management Center the Business School." "Oh! So that''s the case!" Xia Yu suddenly asked, "You are about to graduate, do you need to go back to see your mentor?" Elena''s eyes flickered, as if yes. Thinking of her beloved mentor, she blinked her eyes and looked at Xia Yu and Li Qian and asked, "Do you want to see where I go to school?" "Of course, it is worth seeing such outstanding graduates. Look." Xia Yu said with a smile. Elena gave Xia Yu''s praise with a sweet smile, and then everyone got in the car and drove to the research management center. I parked again and walked into the research management center. In the middle is a sculpture fountain, and behind it is a flower bed. Looking around, there are lush bushes and colorful flower beds. In the distance is a Western-style fort-shaped building. "Hey, Xia Yu, what are so many people doing over there?" Li Qian asked strangely, pointing to the large group of people on the road on the right. "Let''s take a look." A group of people walked over and saw a very strange bicycle. Many people, old and young, were sitting on the string of seats above. On the front of the car was a strong blond young man. There are crowds watching the lively on both sides of the road. Sharp-eyed Xia Yu also saw two middle-aged men in suits, a man and a woman, with a microphone in one hand and a blue notebook with a logo on the other. There is a video camera behind them. This scene is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. "Classmate, is this an event?" Elena asked a boy next to her. The boy recognized Elena¡¯s "Piano Princess" at a glance, and immediately introduced with excitement: "The sophomore in the business administration class has made a bicycle that can accommodate fifteen people to ride, challenging the world. The longest bicycle on the world record, those two are the record certifiers of the "Guinness Book of World Records" company." "Sister Elena, I am..." After the introduction, the boy immediately talked nonstop. , Elena interrupted him with a smile, and talked to Xia Yu in the boy''s shocked and disappointed expression. In fact, when the boys said, Xia Yu had already heard clearly, but Elena repeated again, he naturally became a qualified listener. "The longest bike in the world? It can''t be on the road. It''s not practical. What''s the point of a challenge?" Unlike Henry, who was curious, although Li Qian was curious, but more puzzled, she asked quietly . Xia Yu smiled, and whispered in her ear: "There are always some wonderful human brains in this world to create some boring world records." "For example, the world runs the most on two legs. The fast dog, the longest sleepless person in the world, the largest fried rice in the world, uses the thighs to smash the watermelon in the shortest time, uses the mouth to hold the most snakes, the longest tongue, and the longest hair People who do not take a bath for the longest time..." Listening to Xia Yu speaking out one by one, Li Qian''s eyes became bigger and bigger, and she looked incredible, even Elena looked surprised. Seeing the cute looks of the two women, Xia Yu rolled his eyes and Noyu said: "If you want to have a world record, you can also create it, such as making the world''s largest burger?" "Or challenge the longest time. Wash your hair?" "I wouldn''t do such a boring and disgusting thing." Elena rolled her eyes and said, Li Qian nodded in agreement, and looked at Xia Yu''s hair with a strange look, as if thinking of Xia. Yu couldn''t help covering his mouth and chuckling when he didn''t wash his hair for a long time. Xia Yu laughed, focusing on the blue "book" held by the female certification officer. That should be the world record certification certificate. He thought it was a notebook just now. His eyes swept over the surrounding people who relish eating melons, and Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with thought. It seems that in later generations, the Guinness Book of World Records will be well-known all over the world. Many children know this word and its influence can be seen. The time is now several decades ahead, and the Guinness World Records'' popularity, influence and commercial value should be less than one-tenth or even lower than that of later generations. "It seems that I have found another toy of good value, haha..." "I came here with Elena, Fuxing..." "It happens that Gavin Peter wants to acquire a publishing company in the UK as a foothold Point, the Guinness Book of World Records is a good choice. Just call him back and let him act." v2 Chapter 609: Ugly capitalist Before long, the challenge began. Xia Yu and others who had wanted to leave stopped again. They left with cheers until the challenge was successful. Unfortunately, when Elena went to find her tutor, she unexpectedly learned that her tutor had gone to Cambridge University for academic exchanges yesterday, and it would take three days to return. Although regretful, she could only accept it. Elena, who was in a good mood, once again strolled around the campus with Xia Yu and others, and then visited Oxford University City. It wasn''t until about five o''clock in the afternoon that the group returned to London, found an elegant restaurant and had dinner and sent Elena and the others back home, before Xia Yu returned to his manor. That night, while Xiangjiang was still in the daytime, Xia Yu made an international long distance call to Gavin Peter and ordered him to purchase the Guinness World Records Company. Gavin Peter was pleased to take the lead. Time flies, and on May 18, the candidates for the new British cabinet have finally settled, and the weakened empire is once again operating at high speed. On the evening of May 20th, Xia Yu in a formal suit and Duke Carter Howard who came to London again, and Elena, the three went to a private appreciation reception organized by the Conservative Party. The money for the reception is basically the remaining campaign funds after the donation. According to British laws and regulations, political donations can only be used for electioneering and other political-related activities, and cannot be used for party building and daily operations. Therefore, surplus political donations are generally used for payment to the treasury, charitable donations, and payment of expenses related to their official duties after being elected. Of course, how the money is paid out, there will definitely be a name in it, and there is a lot of room for manipulation. The money comes from donations, and of course it can also be used to thank the donors for the banquet. Although this banquet was held in the name of the Conservative Party, it can actually be regarded as Margaret Thatcher¡¯s private banquet. It has a higher standard, and only one party can come. When Xia Yu, Duke Carter Howard and others arrived, there were already many people in the venue. At a glance, they swept away at least the number seventy or eighty, and they got together to talk in twos and threes, and their eyes swept to the door from time to time to observe the newcomers. Duke Carter Howard is one of the few dukes in the UK, and he has a strong family background. He has a strong influence in energy, mining, finance and other industries. His presence naturally attracted the attention of most people. Of course, the special face of Xia Yu who came with Duke Carter Howard also made a group of people look at him. After so long, Xia Yu finally gained some popularity, so some insiders whispered to friends next to him. Xia Yu didn''t change his face, and kept a calm smile throughout the whole process. When his eyes crossed, he smiled calmly and nodded. Taking a quick glance around, Xia Yu found that Gerald Pat was also in a corner. After all, he was in London. It is normal for him, the leader of the city of London, to be present. There are so many people, Xia Yu and Gerald Pat don''t want to expose their relationship too much, and no longer pay attention to each other after nodding. After walking into the crowd, Xia Yu was good at dancing with long sleeves and skillfully started his own communication process. Time passed, and there were more than 100 people in the audience. There were many high-level Conservative Party leaders, including the Prime Minister of Margaret Thatcher, the Minister of Commerce and the Ministry of Energy. Ministers, Ministers of Defense and other government leaders, these people are the high-level of the Conservative Party, who hold important positions in Margaret''s cabinet and are Margaret''s powerful subordinates. The process of the banquet was still the usual process. After the simple ceremonies and speeches, the communication continued. Margaret and other Conservative Party seniors scattered among the crowd, chatting with the guests, it was so lively! "Xia Yu, my dad asked me to tell you to be prepared. He has already laid the groundwork. Ms. Margaret should ask you some questions later, and answer them carefully." Just when Xia Yu came to the food area to pick up fruits, the pure and beautiful Elena quietly came to Xia Yu and whispered in his ear. Xia Yu''s eyes flickered, smiled and nodded to Elena and said, "I see." Sure enough, in less than two minutes, Xia Yu saw Margaret finish talking with a person and walked straight towards him with a wine glass. "Ms. Margaret, hello!" Xia Yu bowed slightly and said hello with a smile. On this occasion, Margaret thanked the donor as the leader of the Conservative Party, so Xia Yu did not call him Prime Minister, not only him, but everyone present. A gentle smile appeared on Margaret¡¯s face and thanked: "Mr. Xia, I am very glad to see you again. Thank you for your recognition and support of the Conservative Party. Allow me to extend my sincerest thanks to you." As she said, she lifted the glass, the mouth of the glass slightly tilted towards Xia Yu, Xia Yu understood, and instead clinked the glass and took a sip. "Ms. Margaret, I believe that under your wise leadership, Britain will surely get out of the economic quagmire, and your glorious deeds will be left in the history of Britain." "Mr. Xia, thank you for your blessing!" After a few greetings, time was precious, and Marguerite began to test. Just listen to her inquiries: "Mr. Xia, I know that you are from Hong Kong, and in the UK, you are the most outstanding person among the Chinese. In order to better govern this country, I urgently need a lot of opinions and suggestions. You are a foreign investment. Well, I want to hear your views on the UK, whichever aspect is fine, such as people¡¯s livelihood, economy or...politics?" "coming!" Xia Yu''s heart was slightly cold, but his face was calm, thinking, and after a few seconds, he looked at the smiling Margaret and said calmly: "Ms. Margaret, then I will be ugly. Explain my personal opinion, and please forgive me if there is something wrong." "please!" Margaret smiled and made a please gesture, and made an appearance of listening. "In my opinion, each system has timeliness and has different functions at different stages. For example, the existing state-owned economic system in the UK played a very important role in restoring infrastructure and restarting strategically important industrial sectors after World War II. Role." "However, beginning in the 1960s, especially in the 1970s, the world economy has changed faster and faster, technological innovations have emerged one after another, competition has become more fierce, and the drawbacks of the state-owned economy have appeared. Production efficiency has not kept up with the times. The oil crisis has dealt a serious blow to British heavy industry." "Under such circumstances, the Labor Party is not enterprising. Only you are insightful and realize that the state-owned economic model is no longer appropriate. The economic reform strategy proposed is extremely feasible. This allows us businessmen to see the dawn and business opportunities." "In my opinion, under the leadership of you and the Conservative Party, the UK economy is about to rise, and there are business opportunities everywhere. After all, Xiangjiang is too small, so I came." Xia Yu said, Margaret kept smiling and nodded from time to time, so that Xia Yu couldn''t see whether she agreed with him or not under her smile. "It is a great honor for Mr. Xia to recognize the United Kingdom. The development of the British economy cannot be separated from external funds. Your investment will play a significant role in the United Kingdom. I believe that the British market will not disappoint you." Margaret said with a smile. "I''m relieved with your words." Xia Yu smiled at ease, pondered for a moment, and solemnly said: "In this case, I can invest more boldly. If I find other opportunities in the UK, I will increase my investment and use 500 million pounds of funds to invest in the UK. Of course, the premise is that there are suitable investment opportunities." One cargo and two masters, Xia Yu was about to invest in the UK on a large scale. He also promised Gerard Pat before. At this time, he used 500 million pounds to lure Margaret. Anyway, he just said to invest in the UK, London Doesn¡¯t it belong to the UK too! As soon as she said this, Margaret was immediately moved. She took a deep look at Xia Yu who was smiling, and once again seriously confirmed and asked: "Mr. Xia, are you sure you will invest 500 million pounds?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I have the funds ready. As long as the UK welcomes foreign investors like us, then I don''t think the funds will go to the United States, France or Germany." Xia Yuman''s profound words moved Margaret''s heart. She said sincerely: "I can assure you that Britain is ready to welcome capital from all over the world." Margaret won¡¯t be able to say that at this time. After all, Xia Yu uses the word "we". If he refuses even his 500 million pounds investment, if it goes out, it will put the Conservative Party and her personally on The extremely disadvantaged situation, which is contrary to her campaign policy, will seriously damage her ruling foundation. Xia Yu brought her into the army, with the goal still for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Now the 500 million pounds investment has been tied to the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. To be honest, Margaret could not refuse the investment of 500 million pounds at all. This temptation is too great. If it is really invested in the UK, it will have a positive effect on the economy and will also play a role in her economic reform. Great effect. But thinking about Xia Yu''s investigation information, Margaret was not relieved. After being stabbed by Xia Yu, she was not to be outdone, and instead would go back: "Mr. Xia, we welcome any capital that has goodwill towards Britain." "By the way, I heard that you have large-scale investment in the mainland. I wonder why you made such a choice?" After speaking, Margaret looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu knew that she would ask this question, and the meaning of the question directly refers to his position. The term "good faith capital" is the leeway she created for herself. Xia Yufeng said calmly: "There is indeed a little investment, but the scale is not large." "You should know the nature of capital. Compared with Xiangjiang, the mainland has extremely cheap labor. If you hire a worker in Xiangjiang, you can hire more than ten workers in the mainland, and the land in the mainland is extremely cheap. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises, I have to go. If you were me, how would you choose?" Margaret is speechless, her question is about the position, but Xia Yu answered her from the perspective of capital and business. However, Xia Yu''s answer is justified and she can''t refute it. She can never make Xia Yu have to. Doing business in Hong Kong or the UK will lead to a decline in competitiveness and eventually go bankrupt, right? Seeing Marguerite¡¯s expression a little embarrassing, Xia Yu knew that enough was enough, so he smiled and said, "Of course, we capitalists like business opportunities. If the United States has business opportunities, I will go to the United States, and France will go to France when there are opportunities. Now I think the UK has a chance, so I plan to invest in the UK on a large scale." "The nature of capital destined me to do this no matter whether I am active or passive. If the mainland has greater opportunities, I will invest in the mainland. If the UK has more opportunities than the mainland, of course I am more willing to help the UK with limited funds. Make a contribution." "I think I can be regarded as a qualified capitalist. My favorite is money, and the others are not important." At this time, Xia Yu looked like it was taken for granted, completely the ugly face of a capitalist, but he still spoke in a sacred manner, which made Margaret suddenly feel sick and secretly said "ugly capitalist" in his heart. What Xia Yu said, he almost believed it himself. Will the UK have more opportunities than the mainland? Don''t even think about it! Moreover, his current strength is not enough to make Britain jealous. In order to win her trust and make himself better, he must fool Margaret and let her reduce his vigilance. For the great cause of the motherland and his own great money, now he is just covering himself, there is no grievance at all, but to make himself safer and more wise! As long as Margaret''s suspicion is dispelled, he will invest in the mainland in the future, without showing his feet, it will be difficult for Margaret to do anything to him. The benefits will be long-term. I have to say that Xia Yu''s ugly face of a capitalist, as it is taken for granted, made Margaret nauseous, and at the same time it greatly reduced the doubt about Xia Yu''s position. Although the UK''s MI6 is strong, it is absolutely impossible to infiltrate the mainland high-levels. It was impossible for Margaret to know what Xia Yu was discussing with the mainland executives, and naturally she did not know Xia Yu''s true position, so she could only question Xia Yu''s investment in the mainland. Otherwise, it is not chatting with Xia Yu at the private banquet she organized now. Xia Yu doesn''t even want to enter this door. Now Xia Yu''s explanation makes perfect sense, and she has no reason to hold on to it. It will be the same if we continue to talk with Xia Yu, not to mention that she has been talking to Xia Yu for long enough There are still many people waiting for her to entertain at the banquet. So she stopped staying, leaving a word and left. "Mr. Xia, please believe that under the governance of our Conservative Party, the business environment and market in the UK will be the best in the world. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your choice. Look forward to your investment!" This is done! Hearing these words, Xia Yu secretly said in his heart that he still managed to play Marguerite. It¡¯s not that Margaret was fooled. Xia Yu thought to herself that his acting just now would definitely win an Oscar figurine. Not to mention Margaret, other old foxes were also fooled when they came. Turn around in circles. Elena, who had been observing not far away, saw Margaret go away, she immediately walked over, looked at Xia Yu expectantly and asked, "Xia Yu, did Ms. Margaret agree?" Seeing the expectation in Elena''s eyes, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "It should be no problem, and you will have to work hard again." Elena''s smile bloomed like a peony in full bloom, and she said with joy: "No hard work, this is what I should do." When his wish was reached, Xia Yu was relaxed and continued to communicate. Sure enough, when it came to the end, after going out, Duke Carter Howard gave Xia Yu a positive answer. Margaret agreed, and just privately issued an order to the Ministry of Defense to approve the approval of the Bright Fund regarding Rolls Royce Motor Company. Takeover invitation. Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, the long-stalled acquisition process began to advance by leaps and bounds, and Elena took the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition team into a substantial negotiation process with the British Defense Equipment Group. PS: There are more than four thousand words in this chapter, and the two chapters are combined into one, so I ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you~ https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 610: Attention of the Rohir family During the period when the acquisition was stagnant, Elena led the acquisition team and worked with Lloyds Bank and public accounting firms to get the Rolls-Royce Motor Company in full swing. Therefore, during the formal negotiations, the progress was very rapid. Sufficient preparations in the early stage, coupled with the high-level green light all the way, so the acquisition ended in a flash in just ten days. On May 31st, the agreement was officially signed. The Bright Fund and a Norfolk investment company of the Howard family will acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Cars at a price of 120 million pounds in cash. The acquired assets include the production line of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, the existing stock vehicles of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley brands, the sales network, the after-sales service system and the permanent right to use the Rolls-Royce brand. The Sri Lanka Group is obliged to assist the Bright Fund to smoothly take over the Rolls-Royce Motor Company. The most valuable of these is the right to use the Rolls-Royce brand and the production line containing the engine. The automobile engine production line uses part of the technology of Rolls-Royce Aero Engine Company. During the acquisition process, some people also raised doubts and worried about the leakage of technology. However, at a critical moment, Duke Howard stepped up to guarantee and the technology of automobile engines was also It is not the top technology of aeroengines, and it was passed after the last debate. Of course, the British government is not without back-ups. Considering that the Bright Fund has foreign capital, it is worried that the Labor Party will use this as an excuse to criticize the Conservative Party. When the contract is signed, a separate precondition is listed, that is, Rolls Royce. Car companies are prohibited from moving out of the UK. Elena reacted with Xia Yu to this precondition, and Xia Yu agreed without hesitation. If you don¡¯t move, you don¡¯t move. As long as you absorb the technology, there will be more ways to establish a car company directly on the mainland. Even if the production line is moved to the mainland, there are no skilled workers in a short period of time, which is simply not feasible. Moreover, at the prices of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the main markets are now in Europe and the United States. The mainland economy has not yet risen, and it is not very popular in the mainland. In this acquisition, the Bright Fund accounted for 80% of the shares and the Howard family 20%, so the Bright Fund invested 96 million pounds and the Howard family invested 24 million pounds. After that, the two parties injected a total of 50 million pounds in accordance with the equity ratio for the reform of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation, because Rolls-Royce Motor Company was originally a private company, and the sale of Rolls-Royce Group did not arouse much public outrage at this time. In addition, it injected five thousand capital after acquisition. Ten thousand pounds are used for reforms. Such a positive attitude will make Rolls-Royce Motor Company employees not resist. Among them, News Corp¡¯s "Sun" also revealed that the person in charge of the Bright Fund¡¯s acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars turned out to be the daughter of Duke Howard, a young girl who just graduated from college. This news Instead, it attracted the attention of a large number of readers. Many people have subconsciously ignored the background of the Bright Fund, and originally worried that the possible storm did not appear. As for the newspapers of Xia Yu''s Jiuding Newspaper Company, they only reported that Guangming Fund acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, but did not claim that Guangming Fund was Xia Yu''s business. Once the acquisition was over, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to come forward, together with the head of the Howard family¡¯s Norfolk Investment Company, and Elena and others, to take over Rolls Royce Motor Company. In addition, he took out the development plan of the automobile company that he had already made, and handed it over to Rudolph Brook, the general manager of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and ordered him to start reforms in accordance with the development plan. It will see results within half a year, otherwise it will be readjusted. Post, this caused Rudolph Brooke''s pressure to surge, and he devoted himself to reforms. The Rolls-Royce Motor Company was acquired, and the impact is far-reaching. What''s more, in this acquisition, Duke Carter Howard, the top tycoon, is also involved. It doesn¡¯t work if you don¡¯t want to attract attention. All major families in the UK are concerned. This matter, trying to analyze the true intentions of Duke Carter Howard. This concern, Guangming Fund and Xia Yu behind it, naturally came into the eyes of some people. In the east suburbs of London, there is a special castle belonging to a family of lord. The Lord''s title was placed in the entire British aristocratic system, and it was inconspicuous. But this Lord''s family is not simple. It has a profound influence throughout the UK. No one dares to take it lightly. Even Duke Carter Howard must treat it seriously. This family is exactly the Rohill family, once the uncrowned king of Britain and even Europe. Even if the Second World War suffered a major blow, it was targeted by Germany and betrayed by the Rockefeller and Morgan families. After the war, it was secretly suppressed by the ancient British aristocracy because of fear. In this case, the strength of the Rohill family lies Britain is still top. However, the Lohill family has the most strength preserved in the United Kingdom. The huge financial empire has long since fallen apart, and was ransacked in the German rule. Now its influence is mainly limited to Britain, Switzerland, Austria, the United States, France, Canada and other places. The French power was rebuilt after the war, and the branch of the United States was also rebuilt after the war. It was separated from the Austrian branch and went to the west coast of the United States to rebuild its foundation. Among all these branches, the British branch is the main one, so the head of the British branch is also the nominal leader of the members of the Rohill family all over the world. Now the fourth-generation leader, named Jacob Rohill! Lowhill Castle Hall Jacob Lowhill, who was only forty-three years old, sat in the first place, carefully browsing with a copy of business intelligence in his hand. In the hall, there are still five members of the Roshir family. It is his cousin Evelyn Roshir and his cousin Leopold Roshir who live under Jacob Roshir. . The last head of the British branch of the Lowhill family was Ansonny Lowhill. After Ansonny died in 1961, he was first replaced by his elder brother Charles and his eldest son Leopold, his son Yi Flynn served as a partner. Later, Jacob Rosier relied on his extraordinary means and abilities to emerge suddenly. In order to let the family rise again, Leopold took the initiative to give way to Jacob Rosier. After Jacob Rohill came up, he lived up to the high expectations of other members of the family. First, he used means to reprivatize the nationalized Rohill Bank, and then rebuilt Rohill Bank¡¯s M&A department. Become a trump card within a few years. The blood of the Rohill family is good at playing with capital. The bank is in hand, and the young and promising Rohill family members quickly recovered their former family business. In just over ten years, the Rohill Consortium once again stood there. To the top of the UK. However, this has also caused hostility from major British consortia and ancient nobles. The Rohill family is ultimately Jewish. Coupled with the power of the Rohill family, many large families are unwilling to let this family rise again. After all, it is enough to have a real queen standing on top of the head, two is too much! But in the face of interests, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be broken. The Roshir family is under heavy pressure, and the ancient aristocratic alliance is divided and transformed, and it is still mixed. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 611: 9 tripod consortium is targeted However, the members of the Rohir family have never forgotten the glory and shame of the family, and their goal is extremely consistent, that is, to make the Rohir consortium stand on top of the world again, and to make the people who have betrayed them pay the price, such as the second one. , But stabbed the Rockefick family and the Morgan family who stabbed the hardest. The Rockefeller family and Morgan family, who are familiar with the strength of the Rohill family, did not relax their vigilance for a moment. They not only crazily suppressed the Rohill family in the United States, but even manipulated the power of the US government, extending their tentacles into the European continent and pushing the battlefield to the United States. In addition, it squeezed the living space of the Rohill family so that it did not have too much energy to plan the United States. There are many ancient families in the European continent. There are many families with a history of more than a thousand years. Although they are also wary of the Rohill family as a sick tiger, they are more wary of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, the two big crocodiles, and suppress Rohill. The family also resisted these two families. The Rothschild family is also well aware of the disadvantages of passive response, so they use the huge Jewish power in the United States to engage in various ways in the United States. The major family consortia in Europe also covet American wealth. Because of interest, history and other reasons, a complicated relationship has been formed, but it is in a strange state of balance. Under this circumstance, it still depends on the growth rate of their respective strengths. The Roshir family has long reached an agreement on one point, that is, to discover new strengths, earn them under their command, and use their hands to conquer the city. To put it more popularly, it is still to raise dog legs, just like raising the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family. No matter how bad, we must develop into an ally, strengthen our own strength, expand the strategic depth space, and accumulate foundation for the rise and counterattack. It is undeniable that in the past few decades, the Roshir family has really collected a lot of subordinate forces, and has also formed fragile interest alliances with many ambitious families and obtained many benefits. Putting down the information in his hand, Jacob Rohill chuckled: "Everyone is expecting Margaret to start the privatization feast. Unexpectedly, she sold Rolls-Royce Motor Company as soon as she took the stage. It turned out to be the Howard family and a kid from the colony of Xiangjiang, interesting." "Yes, although the amount is not large, it is of great significance. We have to do it quickly to get a bigger cake." Evelyn Rohill continued. "This Chinese kid from Xiangjiang was lucky and got the friendship of Carter Howard. If it weren''t for the existence of this alternative duke, even if Margaret agreed to sell the Rolls Royce Motor Company, someone else would intercept it midway. " Leopold Rohill said with a sneer. The others were silent, and it seemed to them to be so. Pushing Margaret to power is in the interests of large British families and consortia. Only when she is on power can she fully promote the privatization of state-owned enterprises. Major British families and consortia have long been focusing on major state-owned enterprises, such as those in the fields of military industry, chemical industry, mining, energy, communications, etc. The Rolls-Royce Group, a state-owned enterprise in the field of aerospace, naturally It is also the hunting target of various predators. The Lowhill family is also interested in Rolls-Royce Group, of course, it is more precisely interested in Rolls-Royce Aero Engines, and even less interested in Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. At their level, to eat is to eat the entire Rolls-Royce group, but the difficulty is not small. If they know that the British government is willing to sell the Rolls-Royce Motor Company, they are also willing to bid to compete. A kid from the British colony of Hong Kong cannot compete with them. But the Duke Carter Howard''s appearance was also involved in the interest transfer relationship that should exist with the Conservative Party, and no one in the entire United Kingdom intervened, and it is not guilty of causing a commotion because of a car company. If it''s the entire Rolls-Royce group, it''s a different story. Therefore, in Leopold Rohill''s view, the Bright Fund was able to successfully win Rolls-Royce Motor Company because of the good face of the Howard family. "Leobold, can''t say the same. This kid can make Carter Howard appear for him. It''s also an ability. At least there are not many people in the UK that can make Carter Howard willing to do so." The other family member sitting beside Leopold Rohill said with a chuckle. "Don''t underestimate this little friend. You have read the information. His rise is amazing and dreamy. None of us here can achieve his level." "His Jiuding Consortium, although none of its subsidiaries are listed, but according to estimates, the strength should be the first in Hong Kong. According to his current growth rate, as long as he does not die, there will be another large consortium in Asia, reaching the six largest consortiums in the island country. level." "The six major consortiums of the island nation? Those little dwarfs are indeed very powerful and crazy and arrogant. Unfortunately, the island nation is **** by the United States and will be slaughtered by those American pigs if it is fattened. Speaking of this, Leopold Rohill has a sour tone, obviously very envious. "Those rude savages know that they rely on the fist of the US government to grab their benefits, but it is a pity that Britain has not fallen behind to become a follower of the United States, hey..." Thinking of the family and consortium headed by Rockefeller and Morgan behind the US government using the US government to cheat and expand, they feel very upset and feel a sense of urgency. Seeing the change of topic, Jacob Rohill sitting at the head said in a deep voice, "Well, although the United Kingdom is going downhill, there are still more than ten members of the Commonwealth, and there are still many colonies. We want to keep these sites. Morgan and Rockefeller have been behind the manipulation of the Chicago consortium to infiltrate Canada. We must be vigilant." "Canada is our most important place to stay, and it is also our forward position for attacking the United States. We must build the strongest fortress." "In addition, seize the time to control Australia, build it into a southern fortress, enter the back garden of the United States in Latin America, and attack from south to north. They want to trap us in Europe. They think too well." "Although Asia is not economically developed, it has the largest population in the world and has huge potential. We must deploy ahead of time. The Middle East, Southeast Asia, India and East Asia cannot be missed. The kid¡¯s Jiuding Consortium has huge potential and we must do our best to grasp it. live." Everyone here nodded, agreeing with Jacob Rohill''s strategic views. Evelyn looked at the information again, and calmly said to Jacob: "Jacob, although this kid is not very old, he is very prudent. All core companies are not listed. The methods we used in the past do not work at all. To be effective, it is difficult, difficult to infiltrate or control the Jiuding Consortium!" In order to get Jacob to pay attention, it is difficult for Evelyn to use two in a row. "Evelyn is right. The analysis of his personality shows that he is a very possessive person and is always vigilant. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with. Our previous methods are difficult to work. We must change the method. " Leopold also agreed and nodded. Jacob can overwhelm everyone, sit on the head of the British branch of the Lowhill family, and even become the leader of the major branches around the world, naturally, the ability will not be bad, Evelyn and Leopold said, He also considered it. "I understand all the concerns you mentioned. It is the ultimate goal to control the Jiuding Consortium. To deal with a cautious person like him, it is better to use gentle means. He has a very contradictory personality. Although he is very cautious, he is often extremely cautious. Like taking risks, I don¡¯t believe anyone can keep calm in the face of interests." "As long as we seize an opportunity, it will be easier to operate later. Don''t forget that we are the founders of the financial industry. In terms of financial means, he is still far behind." "Although his road to rise is very dreamy, the most important thing in the final analysis is acquisition. Acquisition through financial means directly skips the initial stage of the slowest development of the company." "Since he likes acquisitions, then I don''t believe he can deny Rothier Bank''s influence in the field of corporate mergers and acquisitions." "Find a suitable opportunity to contact him as soon as possible. If he returns to Xiangjiang by that time, let Charles come forward and he will understand the situation better." The Charles Jacob mentioned, named Charles Rohill, is the owner of the Xiangjiang Rohill & Sons Investment Company, a branch of the Rohill family in Xiangjiang. In previous lives, Charles Rohill and his son had met the Great Elder in 1979. They were the financial advisors of the British National Coal Company and Northern Engineering Corporation¡¯s investment in the mainland. After entering the 1980s, they were invited to participate in the The influence of the Rothschild family is evident in the reform of the boss. The Xiangjiang branch of the Roshir family alone was highly valued by the mainland at that time. How could the Roshir family be as unbearable as ordinary people today say? You know, the person in charge of a country''s machinery sees the most real world! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 612: Acquisition Of course, Xia Yu could not know the calculations of the Rohill family. At this time, he was fully participating in the construction of the Chinese business consortium. After more than a month, as Xia Yu expected, British Chinese-funded enterprises rushed to join the Chinese business consortium, and the Wu family''s threshold was smashed. In this case, progress is very fast, and a core company of the consortium can be added almost every two or three days. At this critical period, Wu Hongyi was too busy. It happened that Xia Yu had already acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and had free time, so he couldn¡¯t stand up to Wu Hongyi¡¯s request. In addition, the Chinese business consortium also had its own share. So Xia Yu was involved. With the addition of Xia Yu, the efficiency of the formation of the Chinese Business Consortium has been improved to a large level. There are two flowers and one branch each. After all, George Berkeley is an elite in the financial industry. What he is good at is financial investment. He is not good at the elite of automobile companies. So after taking over the Rolls-Royce Motor Company, he asked its general manager to reform according to the plan. He mainly focuses on supervision. . However, he did not take time off. He did not forget that his boss Xia Yu told him that he wanted to acquire the shares of the Land Group as soon as possible. It happened that when he was collecting information, he learned that Burton Keswick, the third line of the Hong Kong Keswick family, was in London and invited him. Bolton Keswick is 42 years old this year. He is the cousin of John Keswick, the lord of the Keswick family. He previously served as a department manager in the Land Group. After the death of John Keswick and his son, he started Quickly, a lot of assets were divided up, and the biggest fortune was 10.5% of the shares of Land Group. After changing his neutral position and retreating in his heart, the cautious Burton Keswick began to look for a retreat, and the best retreat was nothing but Britain. This time when he came back, he learned that a family of fallen viscounts wanted to sell a piece of ancestral land in Maidstoneshire, south of London, including castles, forests, fields, etc., which he intended to buy as the foundation of his family in the future. Reluctantly, the Viscount Lion opened his mouth, asking for a price of 40 million pounds, and must be in full cash, not accepting installments. Forty million pounds, more than 350 million in Hong Kong dollars. To be honest, he was indeed very greedy after seeing the ancestral land, but the point was that he could not give out 40 million pounds in cash. But he really wants to buy this ancestral land too much, as long as he owns it, then his line will be able to gain a foothold in Britain. Although the Keswick family has been in Xiangjiang for hundreds of years, he is very clear that the symbolic significance of the land and castle to a family, especially the inherited family business of the original aristocracy, is of extraordinary significance, which will help him quickly integrate into the UK Upper class. Nowadays, it is rare that a prodigal viscount wants to sell, and he is not willing to slip away. So after he stabilized the viscount, he made up his mind to return to Xiangjiang to sell his assets and raise money back to the UK to buy a family property. I never thought that as soon as I was about to leave, I inexplicably received an invitation letter from the Bright Fund. The general manager of the Bright Fund, George Berkeley, invited him to see him. In the country house he purchased, Burton Keswick frowned as he looked at the invitation letter in his hand, and couldn''t figure out why the Bright Fund contacted him even if he wanted to break his head. However, he did not think about it, but through his friends, he inquired about the details of the Bright Fund. He was shocked by this inquiries, and instantly paid attention to it. Although the strength of the Bright Fund is unknown, it is currently showing very strong. It not only holds the two large newspapers of the Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph, but also has close ties with the Duke Howard family, with a combined cash of 120 million pounds. Acquired the Rolls-Royce Motor Company, and also heard of close relations with the Conservative Party. This all shows the mystery and power of the Bright Fund. Although it is rumored that there is capital from Xiangjiang behind the Bright Fund, but based on his network, it is impossible to determine whether the news is true or false. But it doesn''t matter. Just having the ability to cooperate with the Duke Howard family and still occupy the initiative, reveals a lot of things. He has already planned to return to China for development. Naturally, he does not want to offend the Guangming Fund, whose strength and background are unknown. He has a deep understanding of the troubles of the financial tycoons. He still remembers exactly how the Jardine consortium fell apart. So even though he didn''t understand, he decided to go to the appointment. At the Sheraton Park Tower Hotel in London, Burton Keswick was led by a waiter to the door of a luxurious private room. He knocked on the door and saw a handsome middle-aged man. There was no one else. "Mr. Bolton, this is George Berkeley, you are welcome, please sit down!" "Hello Mr. George, I am deeply sorry that you have waited so long!" "No, you are not late!" After greeted George Berkeley with a slight distance, Burton Keswick sat directly opposite him. During the awkward chatting time between the two, they finished ordering and serving meals. Feeling that Burton Keswick put down his vigilance a little bit, George Berkeley knew that the time had come, so he gently put down the knife and fork, gently dipped his mouth with a paper towel, Burton Keswick''s eyes flashed and did the same Actions. "Mr. Bolton, I think you must be curious now." "Yes, I was very surprised when I received your company''s invitation. I think we should have nothing to do with each other before. Can you help me out?" "of course." "But before that, let me introduce our company to you." "It''s my pleasure, please!" Bolton Keswick moved his heart, leaning forward slightly, looking at George Berkeley with scorching eyes. George Berkeley smiled slightly and said: "The Bright Fund has not been established for a long time, but it has strong capital. Our business is mainly twofold. One is the acquisition of companies for management and transformation to enable them to increase value; the other is corporate mergers and acquisitions and consulting. " "The investors behind the Bright Fund are large consortia and families. For special reasons, I won''t introduce them in detail." Hearing this, Bolton Keswick nodded slightly to express his understanding. After all, he was born in a large family. Naturally, he knew that in order to hide wealth, large consortia and large families would set up investment companies to diversify their equity. Now his mind has passed the names of the top British families, the Bahrain family, the Campbell family, the Howard family, the Grosvenor family, the Cavendish family, the Stewart family... As Burton Keswick conceived himself, George Berkeley continued. "You are invited this time because we have received a business to acquire the equity of a company in your hands for our customers." Hearing this, Burton Keswick was awakened in an instant. He sat upright, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he asked in a deep voice, "Mr. George, can I know who has entrusted your company? He wants to Which company to buy the equity in my hands?" George Berkeley showed an apologetic expression and said: "It is our obligation to keep the customer''s information confidential, and I am sorry for that." "What we want to acquire is your equity in Land Group." After speaking, George Berkeley looked at Bolton Keswick with a calm smile. "The Land Group?" Bolton Keswick frowned. He didn''t expect that what he was after was the most valuable asset in his hands. However, this is exactly what he wants. In order to raise money, he has already planned to sell the shares of Land Group. Now Guangming Fund has come to the door, which is exactly what he wants. As long as the price is right, who is not selling it? As for the impact on other members of the family, this is beyond his consideration. After the deaths of John Keswick and his son, the wealth of wealth fell on them and they were struggling, it was doomed to have contradictions and disputes within them. Although they seem to be united by outsiders, it is just It seems that it is mainly for self-preservation. Now that he plans to fly separately, he can''t manage so much. It is impossible for him to suffer a loss for the benefit of the rest of the family. In case that time delays, the foundation of the viscount is bought by others, where can he find such a good opportunity? It¡¯s too easy to get wealth from heaven, so I don¡¯t take it too seriously in my heart, and it doesn¡¯t hurt to sell it. Bolton Keswick pondered for a moment, and refused to say: "Mr. George, I do have a 10.5% stake in Land Group, but this is a family property, and I cannot sell it I''m sorry." Bolton Keswick is not stupid. Although he is willing to sell, he also knows to raise the price and strive for more benefits. If George Berkeley says, he will stubbornly agree. This is not to give George a knife. ¡¤Did Berkeley cut him? George Berkeley saw through such a clumsy price-raising technique at a glance. He smiled in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Mr. Bolton, there are no non-sale items in the world. I heard that you are buying Viscount Butt in May. The idyllic forests, castles and idyllic forests of Durstone County are not for sale by the nobles, don¡¯t you think they are sold now?" Burton Keswick frowned, looked at George Berkeley sharply, and said angrily: "Are you investigating me?" George Berkeley smiled and shook his head: "No, this is just a coincidence. I tell you this, just to tell you that we can serve you in terms of acquiring the ancestral property of Viscount Bout." Bolton Keswick took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and stopped entangled in this. He knew that his tactics of raising the price had been broken, so he simply pointed out: "Mr. George, you are right, the world There are no non-sale items on the market. I can sell the shares in Land Group as long as the price offered by your company is appropriate." After finishing speaking, Burton Keswick picked up the knife and fork to cut up the steak. "Mr. Porter, we have learned that the market value of the Land Group is now 5.89 billion Hong Kong dollars. Based on the market value, your 10.5% equity is worth 618 million Hong Kong dollars." "Based on our current market value, we can buy all your equity at a premium of 10% at a price of 680 million Hong Kong dollars." George Berkeley quietly threw out his offer. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 613: Profit driven At this time last year, the market value of the Land Group was only about 4.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. Then, because the Land Group sold some of its shares in Wharf and other companies, it is reasonable to say that its assets have shrunk partly. The market value should be Falling. But one is because after a year, the Hong Kong stock market has risen a lot compared to a year ago, and the market has risen. As a leading stock in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, Land Group has naturally risen in market value. Of course, the other reason is that after the Jardine consortium fell apart, bigwigs from all walks of life focused on the Land Group, and the share price of Land Group rose sharply because of the fight for equity. These two important reasons have offset some of the impact of the shrinking assets of the Land Group, and the influence of various bigwigs deliberately dragging the Land Group''s business down. Think about Hutchison Whampoa. The market value of Hutchison Whampoa has not been out of the quagmire. Compared with a year ago, the market value has only risen by a few hundred million, while the Land Group has risen by more than one billion, which is already very good. Having said that, even if you give the Land Group a 20% premium, it is still very cost-effective. George Berkeley read the detailed information given by the boss Xia Yu and knew that the Land Group is a company whose actual assets are greater than the market value, even if the premium is 20%. Now the initial bid of 10% is just to leave some buffer space for negotiation. Sure enough, upon hearing George Berkeley¡¯s terms, Burton Keswick shook his head and refused without hesitation: "Mr. George, your price is too low, and I firmly disagree." "No, no, Mr. Bolton, you should be very clear that the stock price of Hongkong Land Group is falsely high..." "Mr. George, the stock price of the Land Group is not overpriced at all. Believe it or not, I will release the news to sell the shares. Some people will buy it. A premium of 40% is fine..." "Mr. Bolton, you can believe this. I have read the last year''s financial report of the Land Group. The group''s net profit was only 310 million Hong Kong dollars. Many of its subsidiaries suffered losses, resulting in only a little net profit attributable to group shareholders. 800 million Hong Kong dollars. In the first quarter of this year, revenue dropped by 30% year-on-year. According to the current trend, the group''s net profit this year will only be even less." "The current price-earnings ratio of Land Group is as high as 19 times, which is far beyond the current price-earnings ratio of Hong Kong stock companies that is less than 10 times. Under this circumstance, do you think the market value of Land Group is not excessively high? I give a 10% premium. , You definitely make a lot of money." "I don''t agree with you, Mr. George, the value of a company depends not only on its P/E ratio, but also its future prospects..." ... One wanted to sell and the other wanted to buy, so although they were in talks and talks, they did not leave. After a fierce argument, George Berkeley killed at a premium of 15%, while Burton Keswick killed at least 32%. , The negotiations reached a deadlock, and no one was willing to give in. However, it can also be seen from the increase and decrease in terms of both parties that George Berkeley is more dominant in the negotiation. The negotiations could only be suspended, and then the two left. After a day of calming down, they negotiated again the next day. On the third day, an agreement was finally reached. The Bright Fund bought a 10.5% stake in the Land Group held by Bolton Keswick at a premium of 20% at a price of HK$742 million. "Happy cooperation!" In the meeting room of the Bright Fund, George Berkeley and Burton Keswick stood up to shake hands after signing the agreement. Since the share certificate of Hongkong Land Group is in Xiangjiang, not here, it is only an initial agreement, which also has a certain legal effect. After that there will be arrangements to clear the money and goods. Just when Bolton Keswick was about to leave, George Berkeley called him again: "Mr Bolton, please wait a moment, I have a business I want to talk to you, which is very beneficial to you." Bolton Keswick paused, turned around and asked suspiciously, "What business is there?" "Yes, it can bring you huge benefits, we sit down and say." "Ok." In the meeting room of the Bright Fund, the two were seated again, Burton Keswick did not speak, and gestured to George Berkeley to speak. "I heard that other people in your family also plan to sell shares, right?" As soon as George Berkeley said these words, Burton Keswick''s face froze, his thoughts changed sharply, and he hesitated for a few seconds before he said vaguely: "I don''t know this, it should be possible." George Berkeley chuckled and said: "Mr. Bolton, you don''t have to be wary. I said that it can bring you huge benefits. We want to buy more shares of Land Group at a premium of 20%. As for how much money you can buy. , That¡¯s your business. If you can buy 10% of the equity at a fair price, then you can make more than 100 million when you change hands." More than 100 million! Burton Keswick choked his breath, then his breathing became rapid, and his heart was suddenly messed up. Looking at George Berkeley¡¯s smile, Burton Keswick pursed his lips, no longer pretending to be upright, and asked bluntly: "Mr. George, are you sure? You want more equity?" George Berkeley nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course, as long as you can acquire it, if your money is not enough, we can sign an agreement to help you advance and transfer the intermediate profit directly to you." This time, it directly solved the last financial problem of Bolton Keswick''s acquisition of equity. Bolton Keswick¡¯s heart became more and more fierce, but he knew that Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick in the family had strongly advocated pushing back to the UK before him. They have a 21.2% stake in Land Group, and they are absolutely willing to sell. If he can buy the equity in the hands of the two at par and sell it to the Bright Fund, he will be able to make a profit of 250 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if he can''t buy it at a fair price, at a premium of 10%, he can still make more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is also a huge profit. Sure enough, it is an opportunity that can bring him huge benefits! If an outsider wants to acquire the equity of the Land Group in the family, it is very difficult, but he has a great advantage. He is confident that as long as he speaks himself, he can definitely take over the equity at a lower price. With great maneuverability and huge profits, Bolton Keswick decided in an instant that he must seize this opportunity! "Mr. George, I think I can try what you said. Are there any other restrictions?" Burton Keswick asked. "The only limitation is to hope that the time is as fast as possible. If it is too long, we can only contact ourselves. George Berkeley said faintly Bolton Keswick felt tight and immediately said: "Don''t worry, I will act immediately after I go back, and try to help your company acquire it as soon as possible." "Okay, I will trouble you!" "By the way, Mr. Bolton, you want to buy the ancestral property of Viscount Bout. I think we should be able to help you." After discussing one thing, George Berkeley hurriedly said. Bolton Keswick thought for a while, and said: "It is absolutely okay. Viscount Bout has offered forty million pounds, as long as your company can buy it for me for 35 million pounds." Thirty-five million is his psychological price. He knows that it is unrealistic for him to bargain by himself, and want to chop off five million pounds. If the Bright Fund can do it, then he will be relieved. As for how much the Bright Fund was bought, he didn''t care about it. When he wanted to come, with Viscount Bout''s stingy face, the Bright Fund could not make much money. Now that the Bright Fund gave him such a chance to make a fortune, he also retaliated, deepening the relationship between the two parties. After all, behind the Bright Fund are large British families and consortia. It is always good to get their friendship. If George Berkeley knew what Bolton Keswick thought, he would laugh to death. It can only be said that George Berkeley successfully misled Bolton Keswick, let him make up his own mind, and guessed the background of the Bright Fund wrong. After that, the two sides discussed some details, and until noon, George Berkeley specially invited Burton Keswick to have lunch. After returning, Bolton Keswick immediately bought a ticket to return to Xiangjiang. With huge benefits in front of him, he can''t wait! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 614: The first meeting of the Chinese Business Consortium On June 8th, Bolton Keswick fulfilled the agreement, and 10.5% of the Land Group¡¯s equity was finally in the hands of Bright Fund, and Bright Fund also put 84 million pounds in cash into Bolton Keswick¡¯s designation. In your account. After that, the Bright Fund continued to invest in the acquisition of the ancestral properties of Viscount Bout, while Bolton Keswick calculated the relatives of the same race with great fighting spirit. On June 15, it is time to open the market, ask for money, and pray. sunny. On this day, the British went to work as usual, but in the Chinese Commercial Bank, a major event for the British Chinese is about to happen. The first meeting of all members of the Huajin Club, marking the establishment of the Huashang Consortium, will be held today in the conference room of Huashang Bank. Even if the Chinese Business Consortium is established, it can only be regarded as a role with some weight in the giant London, England. Coupled with the establishment of the consortium, there is no need to make a lot of noise and cause unnecessary trouble. It is also to keep the Chinese Commercial Bank a sense of mystery. Therefore, under Xia Yu''s proposal, in a low-key principle, no grand inauguration ceremony will be held. After internal members attend the meeting, an internal ceremony will be held. When each member received the notice, he also received Wu Hongyi''s instructed not to disclose the news. Every member is tight-lipped, so this big event that completely changed the British Chinese capital is going on quietly. On this day, Xia Yu came to the door of Huashang Bank in a full dress and vigorously. He glanced at an extra sign on the lower right corner of the signboard of Huashang Bank, with a smile on his mouth. This sign is not understood by most British people, but as long as they are Chinese who are familiar with the history of China, they know what it is. It is the copper coin with the four characters on the outer circle and the inner square, with the four characters "inviting fortune and treasure". This logo is a monogram passed unanimously and belongs exclusively to the Joaquin Club. The Huajin Club is the manager''s meeting of the Chinese business consortium organized by Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi. The entire Chinese business consortium does not have a group management. Some are just the Huajin Club, which is formed by the heads of the 21 companies that formed the Chinese business consortium for the first time. It is the highest leadership organization of the Chinese business consortium. The Chinese business consortium will not exist on paper, but as long as Huajin will exist, then the Chinese business consortium will exist. The 21 founding companies will add a copper coin logo to the back of the sign, which is unique to the core enterprises of the Chinese business consortium. Now only 21 companies in the UK own it. If the Chinese business consortium later adds a new core enterprise, China The gold club will also add a seat, and naturally there will be one more copper coin symbol. After entering Huashang Bank, Xia Yu asked Li Qian to wait for him in his office, while he continued to take the elevator to the meeting room on the eighth floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard someone greet him enthusiastically. "Manager Xia, good morning!" Xia Yu saw that it was Song Huaigu, the chairman of the Song Group, a 51-year-old man, one of the top five figures in the Huajin Club, and one of the three executive directors under the general manager and deputy manager. Patriarch of the British Song family. "Song Dong, come here so early!" Xia Yu smiled and walked over to shake hands with him. "It''s not early, it''s just the front foot." Song Huaigu said enthusiastically. The Song family has a history of nearly a hundred years in the UK, but its development is much worse than that of the Wu family, but it is also the top Chinese family in the UK. This time Song Huaigu saw the situation clearly and responded to Wu Chengde''s call to participate in the formation of a Chinese business consortium, holding 4.1% of Huashang Bank. Although Song Huaigu was several times older than Xia Yu, Song Huaigu didn''t dare to look down upon Xia Yu, but showed respect for the current affairs. No way, Xia Yu is the No. 2 figure of the Huashang Consortium. Tim is the deputy manager of Huajin Club. He holds 22% of Huashang Bank''s equity, second only to Wujia''s 33% equity, far exceeding his shareholding ratio. Furthermore, after all, the Song family has been rooted in the UK for a hundred years and has its own set of well-informed messaging systems. It also knows the energy of the handsome young man in front of him. He is definitely a man with hands and eyes. Its Bright Fund can cooperate with Duke Howard to acquire labor. Slaughter Motors enters the field of heavy industry manufacturing. It is a pity that Xia Yu, whether it is the Bright Fund or Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, has not joined the Chinese business consortium, which makes him deeply regret. At this moment, the two walked into the conference room. Xia Yu found that there were already a lot of people in the conference room. At a glance, there were fifteen or six people. Wu Hongyi was impressively included. The individual is not here. Without asking everyone to wait any longer, in the next five minutes, six more people came one after another, the number of people finally arrived, and the door of the conference room was closed. A big round table, with 21 people sitting, is the founding member of Joaquin Club. The Joaquin Club has different levels, including General Manager Wu Hongyi, Deputy Manager Xia Yu, Executive Directors Song Huaigu, Li Tianxiang, Liu Shiwei, and members Ye Huanrong, Wu Fuxiang... Twenty-one people represent twenty-one companies, but in fact, in terms of power, there are not so many, because there are three companies in the Wu family. In addition to the Chinese Commercial Bank, there are two more. Among the members sitting, two were present on behalf of the two companies of the Wu family. The next level is Song Huaigu, Li Tianxiang, and Liu Shiwei. They come from the Song family, Li family and Liu family, each of which has two companies. The last tier is for ordinary member companies, and each member has only one company selected. It is not that these people have only one company, but that there is only one that can be qualified to become the core enterprise of the Chinese business consortium. As for Xia Yu, his status seemed a bit detached. No one in the room dared to despise him. Some people even value Xia Yu more than the Wu family, such as Ye Huanrong. In terms of strength, the Huashang Consortium has 21 core companies, but the total number of affiliated peripheral companies of Huajin Club members is 52. Therefore, in terms of coverage, the Chinese business consortium can directly and indirectly affect 73 companies, and the proper British Chinese giants can make a sound in the UK. "Today is a sacred day, this day will be remembered by history..." "The first process will start below. All members stand up and pray for sacrifices!" After Wu Hongyi finished speaking, everyone got up, arranged neatly, and began to worship some of the statues placed in the center. On the top were the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and the five gods of wealth were placed in the second row. Since ancient times, the major events of the country have been worship and war. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the Chinese business consortium is destined to fight in the sea of ??commerce in the future. One of the sacrifices to the two emperors of Yan and Huang is to remind them not to forget their roots, and the other is to symbolize war. The two emperors of Yan and Huang opened up Chinese civilization. Open up a brilliant foundation overseas. Sacrificing to the God of Wealth is a better understanding, blessing the prosperity of the Chinese business consortium and its wealth. After the solemn sacrifice, everyone''s mentality has changed a little. Xia Yu keenly felt that everyone lost a sense of distance, because the same goal and origin have a sense of unity and closeness. After being seated again, it is the second process. Xia Yu announces the rules and regulations of the Huajin Association and the Huajin Association, including the 15th of each month, which is the gathering day for the Huajin Association members, and gathers to discuss the future of the consortium. UU reads the book www. uukanshu.com exchanges commercial resources, etc. This will be a platform of extraordinary value, a platform where outsiders can''t enter. In the third process, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Everyone introduced their own situation. After the introduction, everyone was more familiar with it, and some people even thought of a direction for cooperation. The fourth process is also the most important process. Everyone expresses their opinions and makes suggestions for the future of the Chinese business consortium. At the same time, it can also reach cooperation with the companies within the consortium. At the first consortium meeting, everyone was as if they were beaten up. After lunch, they didn¡¯t sleep and continued to devote themselves. The first consortium meeting ended successfully at about 9:30 in the evening. It can be said that everyone left contentedly, because more than 30 items have been achieved by internal cooperation alone, which is a huge result. If there is no Chinese business consortium, even if these companies want to cooperate, it will be possible to achieve it after going through a seesaw-style intrigue. It is impossible to achieve the efficiency as it is now. After the meeting, everyone saw the meaning of the Chinese Business Consortium, and they were fortunate to have successfully joined, and began to look forward to the meeting next month. Xia Yu also gained a lot. For example, they reached an agreement at the meeting that Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motors will be designated cars by the Chinese Business Consortium. From now on, all member companies will only buy these two cars if they want to buy cars. Brands of vehicles. In addition, various companies will cooperate with Bright Fund for businesses involving mergers and acquisitions and listings. Some people even requested to establish a cooperative relationship with some companies of Xia Yu Xiangjiang because of the company''s business relationship. When a business came to the door, Xia Yu naturally refused to come and took it all down. The benefits of the establishment of the Chinese Business Consortium are constantly emerging... https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 615: Keep Elena In Xia Yu''s country estate near London. Henry Howard was practicing boxing intently on the grass, Li Wuming stood aside with a cold face, pointing him from time to time. "Elena, Henry is really persevering." Xia Yu and Elena said to Elena with a smile while turning their faces on the bench beside the flowerbed. With a charming smile on Elena¡¯s face, her eyelashes trembling, she replied sweetly: ¡°Yes, when a person finds his goal, he will work hard for his goal and dream without lack of perseverance. I am very happy that Henry has found it. His happiness." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and then both fell silent. For a while, the atmosphere was a bit strange. Perceiving Xia Yu looking at herself with a smile, Elena turned her head and glanced at Xia Yu. Seeing the smile in Xia Yu''s eyes, her heartbeat accelerated slightly and reminded: "Xia Yu, what are you thinking?" Xia Yu returned to his senses, saw the faint pink on Elena''s pretty face, smiled and said: "I was thinking, how can there be such a good girl in the world as you, not only versatile, but also very capable." Hearing this, Elena was not ashamed. She rolled her eyes in an agitated manner, and spit out a little: "Can I understand that you are complimenting yourself? I can play the piano. You play better than me. You say me. Strong ability, but I am working for you who are younger than me." Although it was a complaint, Elena''s eyes were full of admiration, even with a hint of unknown. The more I know about Xia Yu, the more Irina is touched, how could there be such an outstanding person in the world, and the aggressive she tried to learn something beneficial to her from Xia Yu¡¯s life and work life, but The more you understand, the more questions in your heart, and the more curious you are about Xia Yu. It is said that when a woman is curious about a man, the woman begins to sink. Even Elena didn''t notice it, many times she would think of Xia Yu unconsciously. She didn¡¯t know what love was like, and she also knew that Li Qian was Xia Yu¡¯s girlfriend. She and Li Qian were still good friends, so she never thought that she would be Xia Yu. There are entanglements, it''s just friends. She didn''t notice it, and although Li Qian, as the person who came by, had a hint of doubt, she chose to remain silent and ignored. Only Xia Yu felt that the man''s instinct also prompted him to be a little tempted by the beautiful, pure and noble Elena. However, although he has a tendency to let go of himself in terms of feelings, he just takes the attitude of letting the flow go and what happens when he treats Elena. It¡¯s just that Xia Yu is totally deceiving himself, or making an excuse for his scum. He always ignores the distance with Elena intentionally or unintentionally, such as making jokes at work and talking to Elena on the piano in his spare time. Experience, go to Elena¡¯s house, or invite Elena to come to your own home, and let Elena be a tour guide, lead everyone to play together and so on. This time, I again invited Elena¡¯s sister and brother to come home for two reasons. One is that he is leaving the UK, and the other is that Rolls-Royce Motor Company has acquired it. According to the agreement, Elena can resign and leave at any time. Go, he didn''t want to wait until the next time he came back, but Elena was gone. He realized it, and Elena realized it too, so the two of them fell silent just now. "Well, Elena, it seems that I said something wrong, so let''s change the subject." "During this time, you have worked hard for the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition, and you have worked hard." Xia Yu looked at Elena sincerely and said. Elena smiled sweetly and shook her head slightly and said: "It''s not hard at all. I want to thank you for giving me such a good internship opportunity, trusting me so much, and making me a huge gain." "Really, I had a very fulfilling and happy time during this time!" Speaking of this, Elena pursed her lips, her eyes on Xia Yu were soft and smiling. "really?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. "Yes!" Elena smiled and tapped her head. "That''s good¡­¡­" "Then do you have any plans next, Rolls-Royce Motor Company has completed the acquisition." After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu said slowly, looking straight at Elena. Elena narrowed her smile, looked at the distant sky, and did not immediately answer Xia Yu''s question. Xia Yu couldn''t help but slowed down, waiting for her words quietly. For a long time, Elena said to herself like: "Before graduating from university, I had no intuitive concept of my abilities, but when I experienced the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition, I deeply felt that I and those The gap between the elites, although I have made a lot of progress, the gap is still obvious." "Although I have been working hard, I know that in the entire acquisition process, most of the role is not for us. The acquisition team only does the most basic things. The main role is for you and my father." "So I think I still have a lot to learn, but I''m still your employee, of course you will arrange the job." "If... you don''t think I can help much, then I will listen to my father and go to the family company to exercise When it comes to this, Elena turned her head and looked at Xia Yu with a pretty face A faint smile appeared, and many of them were looking forward to it. Xia Yu grinned and said without hesitation: "Of course you can help me, then, happy cooperation!" With that, Xia Yu stretched out his hand and looked at Elena expectantly. Elena smiled brightly and put Qianqian''s thin hand on Xia Yu''s hand: "Happy cooperation!" What she didn''t notice was that the tone of her words at this time was filled with joy and excitement. ... The next day, in the office of the Bright Fund, Xia Yu called George Berkeley in and asked him to involve Elena in the next acquisition plan. Then Xia Yu told Elena about the grand acquisition strategy. . After listening to Xia Yu''s introduction, Elena was shocked, and once again refreshed her view of Xia Yu, and then waved her small hand and participated in fighting spirit. Before leaving the UK, Xia Yu went to see the two companies "Daily Telegraph" and "Financial Times" and gave many valuable opinions that have been tested by later generations. In the Financial Times Group, Xia Yu also specifically learned about the construction of financial indexes. According to his original strategic guidance, the construction of financial indexes has advanced by leaps and bounds in a few months, and it has entered the late stage and can be launched in one month at most. At that time, the financial index that affects the financial circles of the UK and even Europe will come out, and the Global Times will begin its journey of world famous. Later, he went to Rolls Royce Motor Company to find out the situation. When he finally left, Xia Yu took half of Liu Xiao and others who had been staying in the UK. At 7 o''clock in the evening, at London Heathrow International Airport, Xia Yu and his party boarded the plane again. Destination-Xiangjiang! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 616: World game industry pattern Due to the time difference, when the plane arrived at Xiangjiang, it was only 7:20 in the morning. When Xia Yu came out of the passage, he suddenly saw He Chaoqiong, who was looking forward to a row of convoys, and when Xia Yu came out, He Chaoqiong completely abandoned the reserved girl , Cheering and rushing towards Xia Yu. Li Qian subconsciously took the things in Xia Yu''s hand and gave Xia Yu a questioning smile. Xia Yu walked quickly towards He Chaoqiong, hugged her who was rushing over, and circled the place where she was, her pink skirt posing The sky keeps moving. "Chao Qiong, why are you here? It''s only after 7 o''clock, how many points did you get up?" He Chaoqiong''s face was full of joy, he looked at Xia Yu lovingly, and said sweetly: "Knowing that you are coming back today, where I could sleep last night, I miss you so much." After speaking, Zhu''s lips were lightened, and his joy was revealed. "I miss you so much." The girl''s love from the heart touched Xia Yu''s heart, hugged her tightly, and said softly. After a brief warmth, He Chaoqiong''s mood calmed down, and he watched his surroundings with concern. When he saw Li Qian standing aside and looking at herself with a smile, He Chaoqiong blushed, struggling to get off Xia Yu, and whispered: "Sister." Li Qian responded with a smile, then took a small gift box from the bag and presented it in front of He Chaoqiong, and said softly: "Sister, this is a gift I brought back from London for you. I hope you like it." "Thank you sister..." Xia Yu smiled when the two women were in good relationship. Sweeping around, all of his subordinates looked at him wittily, but many people who just got off the plane behind looked at him, and some even recognized him. Realizing that staying here is not good, Xia Yu said to Li Qian and He Chaoqiong: "Xiqian, Chaoqiong, there are too many people here, let''s go home first." "Hmm!" "Listen to you!" Then, Xia Yu said to Liu Xiao and others: "You also go home first. I haven''t been home for half a year. Go home to accompany your family and return to the company for a meeting in three days." "The cars are coming, let them take you to your door." "thank you boss!" Liu Xiao and others were excited and thanked in unison. After that, everyone got on the car and split into two groups at the intersection. Xia Yu first took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong back to the villa that belonged to him and his own woman. It was not until the afternoon that Xia Yu went home to reunite with his family. The next day, he officially started to work to deal with the things accumulated during the months of leaving Xiangjiang. Although the chairman''s office headed by Huo Jianning is coordinating things, Huo Jianning will contact him through international long-distance, remote control command to ensure the normal operation of many of its companies. But there are some tasks that are really difficult to explain on the phone and are difficult to handle, so they can only be piled up until now. After processing the files for an hour, Xia Yu got lazy and asked Li Qian to call Huo Jianning and bring him the investigation data of the video game industry. "Chairman, this is the situation in the video game industry I collected!" As soon as Huo Jianning came in, he presented a thick stack of documents to Xia Yu and waited quietly. Seeing such a thick stack, Xia Yu was very satisfied, not to mention other things, just by looking at the appearance, Huo Jianning has done a very solid job. Realizing that it would take at least a few hours, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to continue to work, and he read it. Drinking tea, looking at the information, time flies quickly. Finally, after reading the last page, Xia Yu rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and already had a detailed picture of the global video game industry market in his mind. In the world electronic game industry at this time, there are three types of games, namely computer games, console games and arcade games. The first type of computer game, as the name suggests, was a game played on a computer. Yes, in 1979, there were already computer games. But the key point is that although the computers in the world are computers, in fact, most of them are game consoles. They are sold as TVs. Although there are some computer functions in them, the most important purpose of customers buying is to play simple games on the computer. Xia Yu remembers that it wasn''t until 1981 that IBM launched the world''s first personal computer in a real sense. Therefore, the computers before this were not widely available at all, and their limitations were great. Due to factors such as the price and functional limitations of computers, the market for computer games is still relatively small at this time. Game giants generally give up and leave it to small game companies that specialize in developing computer games. The second type of console games is also called home game consoles and TV games. This market is huge. Think about the huge number of TVs in the world, and you can see its huge market. This market is also the most competitive market. The most famous of these is the Atari Company of the United States, the world''s dominant game industry. In 1977 alone, it invested more than 100 million US dollars to research a Game console-Atari2600. In addition to Atari, there are some companies on the second front, such as Sega, Nintendo, and Nangong Dream. The third type of arcade games is also very competitive, but now Taidong Company is leading the way, beating all arcade game companies in the world. Taidong Company is an import and export company established by Ukrainian Jew Mikhail Kogang in 1950. Taidong means "Far East Jewish Company", and its main business is to sell vodka imported from the Soviet Union in island countries. Under unexpected circumstances, Taidong entered the electronic game market. Just last year, Taidong Company developed the arcade game "Space Invaders", and it went viral. In a year, it sold more than 150,000 units in the US market, plus sales in Europe and island countries. More than 200,000 units, total sales of more than 500 million US dollars, and net profit of more than 100 million US dollars. By this year, "Space Invaders" is still hot, and it has continuously grabbed wealth for Taidong Company. In the arcade market, Sega is under Taidong Company. In the impression, Xia Yu thought that Sega, one of the four giants of the console game industry in the future generations, was an island company. After reading the information, he knew that this was not the case at this time. At this time, Sega was still an American company. Sega was founded by David Rosen, an American soldier who retired from the 38th line to the island country. At the beginning, relying on his relationship with the military, he sold slot machines, pachinko machines and other entertainment equipment to the military The soldiers at the US base are relieved. Later, David Rosen felt that when the profit of the second trafficker was not large enough, he developed an explosive pachinko machine called "periscope", which was sold well in island countries, and was shipped to the United States, and then registered the United States Sega in the United States. , Holding the island country Sega Corporation. Then in 1966, David Rosen sold Sega America to the American Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation, which was engaged in "entertainment and mass media". With the help of the energy of overseas and western industrial companies, Sega''s sales channels in the United States have been established very well. It''s a pity that after Taidong''s "Space Invaders" came out, the island country Sega was in a dilemma. At this time, the business situation was not good, and there were signs that the US Overseas and Western Industrial Corporations were leaving. In addition to Taidong Company and Sega Company, another famous company in the arcade market is Nangong Dream Game Company. This company only entered the video game industry in 1974. It has developed several arcade games. In "Space Invaders" Before it appeared, the sales situation was good, but now it is a little worse, and it is stepping up the development of new games, hoping to break the rule of "Space Invaders". As for the later game industry hegemon, Sony did not get involved in the video game industry at this time. According to the survey report, it can already be known that the world''s electronic game industry has three levels. The first level is the two giants, Taidong Company in the arcade game market, and Atari Company in the console game market. The second level is Sega, Nintendo, and Nangong Dream. The third level is other video game companies. PS: Ask for recommended monthly tickets, I wish you all a happy weekend! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 617: Tiangong Group Combining the memory of later generations, Xia Yu knows that although arcade games are now popular all over the world, console games will still have a bigger market in the future. Of course, this is on the premise of excluding the big category of online games that have not yet appeared. However, after reading this detailed information, Xia Yu decided to enter the arcade game market first. After all, limited by the limitations of chips, the console game market has not yet exploded, and there are still a few years left for him to prepare. The arcade games are different. The chips required are relatively low-end and there is no need to make a system. Many arcade games in his mind can be made directly under the current conditions, and they will definitely be more fun than "Space Invaders". On the contrary, handheld games like "Pokemon" can''t be produced at all now. Even if it is a game that is almost a bit well-made, the editing program is very large. With the current memory chip capacity, it can''t be stored at all. Although he had made a decision in his mind, Xia Yu still wanted to hear Huo Jianning''s opinion, not only to test him, but also to see if he could be inspired a little. After all, over the past few months, Huo Jianning has been able to collect information on the global video game market and definitely has his own knowledge and ideas about video games. In the afternoon, Huo Jianning came to the chairman''s office again. "Jianning, sit down and say!" "Thank you, Chairman!" Huo Jianning sat on the sofa properly, without squinting, waiting for the chairman Xia Yu''s question. Xia Yu put the information on the desktop, gave Huo Jianning a look of appreciation, and praised: "I read the information you compiled. It is comprehensive and detailed, and it''s done well!" "Thank you for the compliment, chairman!" Huo Jianning said with joy. "Now I''m going to test you. If I want to enter the video game industry, which aspect is better to start with? Just say it, but the speaker is not to blame!" Hearing what the chairman said, Huo Jianning nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and thought quickly. Xia Yu drank tea leisurely, observing Huo Jianning from time to time. Maybe it was because he already had his own thoughts in his mind. Huo Jianning didn''t let Xia Yu wait more. After about three minutes, he nodded to Xia Yu and said: "Chairman, then I will talk about my humble opinion." "Well, let''s talk!" "According to my estimation, the market capacity of the global video game industry is now about 4 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual growth rate can reach more than 20%." "The U.S. market alone accounted for two billion U.S. dollars, or more than half, followed by island countries, Europe, and other regions." "In the four-billion-dollar market, the computer game market is more than 100 million U.S. dollars, console games account for more than 60%, and the rest is occupied by arcade games." "Whether it is an arcade game or a console game, the motherboard has the highest technical content. It is the soul of the game console, and the soul of the motherboard is the chip. A high-quality chip is the basis for a good game. Relatively speaking, the console game The chip quality required is higher than arcade games." "And the most important thing about the console game is the type of game cassette and the game system. This is a software difficulty. Unfortunately, our Xiangjiang does not have such conditions. Talent alone is the biggest limitation." "If you want to enter the console game market, the best way is to set up a company in Silicon Valley on the west coast of the United States. Not only can you reduce costs, you can also find the software and hardware needed to develop console games." "In addition, a large sum of money needs to be invested." "After Fairchild completely withdrew from the game market last year, the entire U.S. console game market has been dominated by Atari, and the game consoles developed by Atari have undergone market testing and are now the most mature game consoles. If we want to compete , The difficulty is very large. It is conservatively estimated to invest more than 100 million US dollars to develop our game console. The research and development time span will take at least half a year, or even one or two years. At that time, Atari''s new generation of game consoles has been released, so risk It''s huge." Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn''t help but nod in agreement. He also considered these issues and didn''t enter the console game market for the first time. Of course, there is one thing Huo Jianning said before that Xia Yu did not agree. It is the estimation of the global video game industry market. He believes that the current 4 billion US dollar market should be about the same. However, if the growth rate is too low, 20% per year will be too low. In the 1980s, integrated circuits will make huge breakthroughs, the shackles of the video game industry will be opened, and the golden explosion period of the video game industry will usher in. However, Huo Jianning is not a rebirth like him after all. Due to the limitations of the times, it is understandable to give incorrect judgments. At this time, Huo Jianning took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and then continued to talk. "The production of arcade games is much simpler. As long as you design a game and make a motherboard, you can buy parts and assemble everything else. The current Taidong Company''s "Space Invaders" did just that." "If we set up a video game company to produce arcade machines, limited by talent and game creativity, art and assembly will not be a problem." "In terms of talents, there are very few talents in the HeungKong semiconductor industry. However, I found that several professors and teachers in the Department of Electronic Engineering that HeungKong Chinese University opened a few years ago came back from the United States. They are experts in this area. We can hire They are consultants." "But in the long run, the number of talents is not enough, and if CUHK is too late to train, the best way is to set up branches abroad or dig talents." Speaking of this, Huo Jianning hesitated for a while, and said again: "These are conventional ideas, but it is better to directly acquire a video game company with your capital advantage, chairman." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, and asked with interest: "If you are asked to recommend one, which company do you recommend to acquire?" "Nangongmeng and Sega are the leaders in the arcade industry in the island country. You can buy one of them. However, the survey found that Sega''s business situation is not very good. American Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation are interested in selling shares. I personally recommend the acquisition of Sega." "Papa..." "That''s right, it suits my heart!" Xia Yu applauded and exclaimed with a smile on his face. Huo Jianning bowed modestly. "You are right. To acquire a company and skip the slowest early stage of development is the best way. Sega is also a good acquisition target." "but¡­¡­" Hearing the turning point, Huo Jianning, who was originally happy, looked at Xia Yu immediately, raising a heart slightly. "Nangong Dream and Sega are both island companies. No matter what they do, they are creating taxes for the islanders and feeding the islanders." "Now that the residents of Hong Kong are under great employment pressure, coupled with the rise of the real estate industry and the rising pressure on the lives of residents, the industrial structure of Hong Kong seems to be too single, and it has fallen behind the other three of the "Four Asian Dragons", including the United Kingdom. The government¡¯s reason, but another reason is also that we people lack social responsibility. Most people only look at immediate benefits." "After all, Xiangjiang is my root and the place of our Chinese. Since I have the ability and the British government does not consider these things, I will do it myself." "Although I am also a real estate developer who drink blood in the mouths of others, this is a general trend. I cannot change, nor do I want to change, but I can still be different from other real estate developers and leave the blood of technology and innovation to Xiangjiang." Huo Jianning''s eyes were full of shock. He didn''t expect the chairman to consider this issue! He changed his mind to The chairman seemed to have started to do some things a long time ago, such as Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. According to his understanding, the industry of Xiangjiang was completely enlarged by the chairman and dominated the island country comics industry, but still The head office is in Xiangjiang. The benefits are obvious. After one year, because of the existence of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the comics and animation industries have risen. Many young people are determined to engage in this industry. Now there are several comic newspapers and more than a dozen comic companies. Although these companies are still small. It can be said that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. relied on its own strength to grab an industry from the island country, and abruptly solved the employment problem of a small number of people in Xiangjiang, and will solve the employment problem of more people in the future. This is what Xiangjiang has contribution. Now, the chairman is doing the same thing again, just replacing the comics with more technologically advanced video games. Seeing the shock and admiration in Huo Jianning¡¯s eyes, Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: ¡°You go offshore to register two companies, one is called Tiangong Group and the other is called Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., which is wholly-owned by Tiangong Group. Subsidiaries, and then investigate the situation of Sega in the island country and U.S. Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation in preparation for the acquisition of Sega." The company''s name is Tiangong, which is derived from the term "smart workmanship", which entrusts Xia Yu''s deep expectations. The most magical creator of the things of nature, and the exquisite man-made is better than the natural, the description of the skill is extremely exquisite In his vision, Tiangong Group will be rooted in the fields of science and technology and industrial manufacturing in the future, and Tiangong Group''s products must be comparable in quality to natural creations. "Yes!" Huo Jianning was excited and responded loudly. "Go!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 618: Kick the hall! Broadcast hero posts! More than two months ago, when Xia Yu was in the Chunqiu Medical Center, he encouraged Li Wuyang to establish the Jiwu Dao and gave financial and material support. After more than two months, all the preparations for Jiwu Dao were completed. After Xia Yu returned, Li Wuyang informed Xia Yu through his younger brother Li Wuming. On this day, inside the martial arts training ground of the Jiulong Jiwu Dao martial arts hall, Xia Yu, Li Qian, Li Wuming, Li Chunqiu, Yan Shining, Li Wuyang and others stood outside the field, watching dozens of young men in white shirts and black pants. The martial arts disciples were punching uniformly. Between shouts, kicks and punches, the movements are very neat and quick, without any muddle, just from the aspect of momentum, it can give people a visual shock. Some of the disciples in the martial arts hall are new recruits, and some are old disciples, and they are now practicing extreme martial arts. Li Wuyang¡¯s own skill is not weak. With the assistance of Li Chunqiu, a rare master of national arts in Xiangjiang, as well as Li Wuming, a young master of national arts who has gathered the heads of hundreds of schools before, plus Yan Shining¡¯s training. I often come to help. Under the concerted efforts of everyone, they combined Xingyiquan, Bajiquan, Wing Chun, Baguazhang, Taijiquan and other kung fu as the base, and combined them together to sum up a set of kung fu-Ji Wudao. The extreme martial arts created now focus on actual combat, including kicking, hitting, throwing, holding, throwing, locking, twisting, reverse skills, acupuncture and other techniques, focusing on making opponents lose their combat effectiveness in the shortest time. Although this group of disciples are all new to the extreme martial arts, they are already playing in the same way, and at least they can play around. As for the real combat effectiveness, it must be far worse. If it is an old disciple, because of the foundation, it will definitely not be bad, but if you want to show the highest level of combat power, you probably use Xingyiquan, not extreme martial arts. After watching for a long time, Xia Yu admired: "Brother Li, you are really amazing, and you have created a complete set of kung fu in a short time." Li Wuyang smiled, looked at his old father, and said to Xia Yu: "Thanks to my father, his old man has seen almost all the kung fu. If my knowledge is used, even if it is created, it will be full of loopholes." "An old family is like a treasure, haha!" Xia Yu smiled. Li Chunqiu smiled and stroked his beard, and calmly accepted everyone''s praise. At this moment, Li Wuyang sternly shouted coldly after finishing a set of overall boxing techniques: "The two-by-two battle begins." With an order, the disciples on the field consciously fought with the brothers beside them. The fierce fighting made Xia Yu nod from time to time, and Li Qian''s eyes widened when he saw a collective fight for the first time. "Brother Li, how is the overall situation of the martial arts gym now?" After watching for a long time, Xia Yu asked Li Wuyang. Li Wuyang blurted out and introduced: "Because of your funding and venue support from Ayu, the progress is very fast. Now in the eighteen districts of Xiangjiang, each district has a martial arts gymnasium and a martial arts gym in Omen. There are 19 martial arts halls in total." "Now because it has not yet opened, all the martial arts halls have not yet been listed, but the plaques are ready and will be displayed on the day of opening." "In terms of manpower, they have all been allocated. I have brought back some of my former disciples. Each martial arts hall has an elite disciple who serves as the head of the branch, and is equipped with three old disciples to assist." "Although it hasn''t opened yet, I have recruited two hundred new disciples, all of whom have learned the martial arts. When the museum opens, they will be assigned to 19 martial arts halls to perform the martial arts to attract people." Good guy, with such calculations, Jiwu Dao has not yet officially come out, there are more than 200 disciples of Jiwu Dao alone! This surprised Xia Yu. But on second thought, Li Wuyang had taught many apprentices before, and because he was really kung fu and his reputation was not lacking, the standard for recruiting apprentices was set high. Nowadays, the positioning of Jiwudao is to be promoted by the whole people, so that people all over the world know that it will not do if you insist on a high threshold. After lowering the threshold, many people who know that Li Wuming has real skills are rushing to send their children to practice martial arts. Some hot-blooded teenagers rushed to join. "Now that you are ready, let''s open the museum and announce to Xiangjiang the advent of Jiwu Dao!" Xia Yu clapped and said. "Then June 24, it''s a good day!" Li Chunqiu suddenly said that he was familiar with Xia Yu''s resolute and resolute style. After learning that Xia Yu had returned, it was a good day. Today is June 19, which means that the museum will open in five days. There is still plenty of time. "Since the master said that the day is good, set it on that day, the specific moment, listen to Master." Xia Yu said. "By the way, Brother Li, Jiwu Dao opens, have you ever thought about how to build a reputation?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu saw Yan Shining couldn''t help but smile. He was a little surprised and asked, "Big Brother Yan, what''s wrong?" Yan Shining glanced at Li Wuyang and said truthfully: "Brother Yang has a bad stomach, and he is going to use the most traditional way to become famous." Hearing this, a word appeared in Xia Yu''s mind and asked in surprise: "Kick the hall?" I saw Li Wuyang nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I plan to play in the gym." Seeing his confirmation, Xia Yu was intrigued. He had seen a lot of pictures of kicking the hall in his previous movies, especially in Li Lian¡¯s cut-off "Jing Wu Men" movie that Chen Zhen kicked the Hongkou Gymnasium. The previous Xia Yu was full of blood. . It''s a pity that he hasn''t seen a kicking club in reality, and he didn''t expect it will happen next, so he must not miss it! The term kicking hall comes from Cantonese. In Mandarin, it means to smash the field. I don¡¯t know who would be so unlucky and be smashed by Li Wuyang. "Brother Li, which martial arts gym are you going to play?" Xia Yu asked with interest. Li Wuyang showed an inexplicable smile and said categorically, "Karate Martial Arts Hall!" "Island Karate?" "Haha, yes, a good choice, hit the island people''s place, it happens that karate is a competitor of extreme martial arts, as long as you defeat a master of karate, it is difficult to not become famous!" Xia Yu Le said. "Boss, don¡¯t look at Brother Yang¡¯s appearance, but he¡¯s actually a bad stomach. The Kokudo martial arts gym is located at No. 18 Stadium Path, So Konpu, Causeway Bay. It¡¯s directly opposite the Island Karate Martial Arts Center. ." "Furthermore, this karate martial arts gym is the most powerful main hall of karate in the entire Hong Kong. In the building behind it is the Hong Kong Karate Association, the facade of karate, and it was established in 1974. ." Yan Shining added with a smile. When Yan Shining said so, let alone Xia Yu, even Li Qian, a person who didn''t understand Kung Fu, couldn''t help covering his mouth and laughing. Xia Yu looked at Li Wuyang up and down, seeing the latter a little uncomfortable. Xia Yu said in amazement: "Brother Li, I can''t see it at all, amazing, amazing!" Li Wuyang was really overcast, and he said that he would not slap someone in the face. Li Wuyang was doing it for his own benefit, and directly smeared the karate on the face. The martial arts hall was opened directly opposite to the main hall of others, and he was also facing the head of Xiangjiang Karate. Will this governing body. That''s all, I also plan to kick the gym directly on the opening day, planning to step on the body of karate to make Jiwudao famous. The rhythm is completely immortal, put it tens or hundreds of years ago, it will definitely kill people! Although shameless and sinister enough, I have to say that Xia Yu liked it very much. Treat islanders like this! After all, to be honest, the middle and low levels of the island nation are deeply poisoned by the Bushido spirit, and most of the islanders who know kung fu are island country right-wingers who are very hostile to China. Maybe the person in charge of the Xiangjiang Karate Main Hall is an island war criminal or remnant. To deal with this kind of person, you don''t need to be polite at all , you have to step on it to death and squeeze its value. Island karate opened in Xiangjiang, so you don¡¯t have to want to enroll the students who are all Chinese. For this, Xia Yu hates iron and steel, and even puts so many martial arts gyms in Xiangjiang to pay tuition for the islanders. It¡¯s a shame. Just let Li Wuyang wake them up! Let them know that Xiaodao Guoxue''s karate integrated from Huaxia Kungfu is not as good as Huaxia Kungfu after all, so that those who have forgotten their ancestors will wake up. "Brother Li, needless to say, I have one request. When the day comes, you will fight hard and play the power of Chinese Kungfu and the power of extreme martial arts!" "I will let Universal TV come over that day!" Xia Yu said loudly. Li Chunqiu, who had experienced the war years on the side, was very satisfied with Xia Yu¡¯s performance, caressed the long-term effect, and exhorted Li Wuyang: "Ayang, listening to A Yu, let go of the fight that day, let the people of the small island nation know who this is. The site! It''s not their turn to be presumptuous!" The two most heavyweights have spoken, what else can Li Wuyang say? What''s more, this was his original intention, so he nodded heavily and promised in a deep voice: "Don''t worry, father, I will play the aura of Chinese Kungfu." After that, everyone expressed their opinions and got busy for the upcoming opening of Jiwu Museum. The next day, Li Wuyang posted a hero''s post to the entire Xiangjiang Omen, and even Southeast Asia''s famous and capable colleagues, inviting them to visit the opening ceremony of Jiwudao on June 24. As soon as the hero post was posted, the momentum of swallowing the world began to brew. In a blink of an eye, it was the opening day of Jiwudao! PS: Today''s update is still great, and I will work hard to recover later. I beg for a monthly pass for recommended tickets, thank you! (Free words) https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 619: Pinpoint "Master Huang, fortunate to meet you!" "It turned out to be Master Liu. I didn''t expect you to come too. Fortunately!" ... At around 8 o¡¯clock in the morning, in Causeway Bay, Wanchai, Hong Kong Island, many flower baskets were placed at the gate of the yet-to-be-opened Jiwudao martial arts museum. The capable middle-aged and elderly men greeted each other with fists. The disciple, Lin Shaoze, now the master of the Jiwuguan branch in Causeway Bay, kept receiving visitors. At this moment, Xia Yu''s car also came nearby. After he got out of the car, he saw a lively image. He raised his brow and said softly: "There are a lot of people here, they are all Lianjiazi." He has been practicing martial arts for more than a year. Although his kung fu is not so profound, he has developed his eyesight when he sees Li Wuming, Yan Shining and others practicing martial arts all the time. At this time, some signs were observed at a glance. Li Wuming took the conversation and explained Xia Yu''s confusion: "Boss, I have seen many people here. They are the heads of martial arts schools in various places. I have experienced in Southeast Asia before, and these people have almost played against each other." "But they came this time mainly because of my father''s face." Xia Yu smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Master is the master of national arts, and the whole Southeast Asia can count with one hand. They still have to give this face." As Xia Yu and Li Wuming said, at least dozens of people at the scene knew Li Chunqiu. Of course, they didn''t simply come to Li Chunqiu. To be precise, it was because of the face of the three Li family father and son. Li Chunqiu is the master of the national martial arts. This is something the entire national martial arts world knows. He is one of the few highly respected grandmasters. After Ye Wen''s death, the Xiangjiang martial arts world first recommended Li Chunqiu. That¡¯s all, but I am a hero, Li Chunqiu¡¯s two sons are dragons among men, and the boss Li Wuyang is the master of the extremely martial arts family. The strength is not enough. He has been confirmed to be a master. There were not hundreds of masters who lost to him, but also 70 or 80. Not to mention the youngest son Li Wuming. Wu Chi is a nightmare in the Chinese martial arts world. With only a few elderly masters, he has beaten invincible hands all over Southeast Asia and is more prestigious than his brother Li Wuyang. Huan Sheng, although he has been silent for more than a year because of following Xia Yu, his reputation remains true. If these people know that Li Wuming has broken through the bottleneck and become a master of the generation as a young man, I wonder if he will hang himself with a piece of noodles. "A Yu, A Ming, are you here?" "Brother Li, a good business opening!" Although he and Li Wuyang are in the same family, on the day of the opening, he still had to walk around, so I bought a big flower basket on Xia Yu Road. Many people recognized Li Wuming, who had a calm complexion, and then looked closely, but couldn''t see anything. There were also some martial arts masters who opened the martial arts hall in Xiangjiang when they recognized Xia Yu, and they were shocked, but they didn''t rush in. "Is the master here?" Glancing at the hall, except for some guests, he did not see Li Chunqiu, Xia Yu asked casually. "Father entertained some old friends in the inner hall." Li Wuyang said with a smile. Xia Yu''s expression moved, and he nodded without saying a word. The person who can become Li Chunqiu''s old friend is naturally at his level. Although he is interested in meeting anyone, he is not in a rush to think about it, and he will be able to see him later. To. Therefore, Xia Yu found a place to sit down and watched with interest the "Lion King''s Hegemony" performance performed by the two "lions" at the door. There were also many passers-by stopping to watch. Although the plaque of the Kokudo martial arts hall is still covered by a red cloth, anyone with a discerning eye can guess what shop it is. If you pretend to be invisible at the karate martial arts center directly opposite, you will be deceiving yourself. Moreover, the Jiwu Dao martial arts hall was renovated for so long, and Li Wuyang and his disciples also came many times. The news could not be blocked at all. They had long known that it was the Jiwu Dao martial arts hall. In front of the glass window on the second floor of the karate martial arts hall, the owner of the museum, Taro Kawashima, looked through the glass and looked at the goku martial arts hall on the opposite side. His complexion was gloomy and his temples were violent. The assistant Ori Tian Guang''s complexion next to him was also as dark as the bottom of a pot, his fists clenched, and he made a "cuckling" hand bone collision. "Kawashima-kun, the Chinese on the opposite side deceived too much. This came directly at us. It made it clear that it was too arrogant and unbearable to act against us!" Ori Tian Guang said coldly, with great anger in his tone. Samurai was originally a strong self-respect and had a strong temper. Although Orita Hikari was not very capable, he had a good temper. If Taro Kawashima hadn''t spoken, he would have led people to make trouble. Taro Kawashima is also in a bad mood. He can be said to be the No. 2 figure in the entire Hong Kong Karate Association. He is added as the vice president and the owner of the Karate Main Hall. The Kokubudo Martial Arts Hall opened directly opposite his karate main hall, and behind it was the facade of karate-the seat of the Karate Association. It was so immortal. He got the news that this morning, Ishikawa, one of the four great masters of island karate Tuo Dou is about to come to Xiangjiang. If he sees this scene, where will his face fall? At this time, his face was also hot, and the more people congratulated him, the more annoyed he became. He even saw a lot of people looking at him mockingly. "It''s true that we are so bullied. It seems that we haven''t taken a shot for too long, and we are treated as soft persimmons. Ha ha, very good! Very good!" Taro Kawashima narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said murderously. Hikaru Orrota lifted up his spirits and immediately asked, "Kawashima-kun, please tell me what to do. It looks like they are about to open their business soon, so I have to make a decision quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hikaru Orkata suddenly thought of something and whispered to Taro Kawashima, "By the way, Kawashima-kun, is it necessary to call President Nakamura?" The president of Nakamura, whom Hikaru Orita said, is the number one figure in Xiangjiang Karate. His full name is Akito Nakamura. He is added as the chairman of Xiangjiang Karate Association. He is also above Taro Kawashima. He is Karate. The number one master, who returned to the island country a few days ago, happened to accompany Takuto Ishikawa back to Xiangjiang. He said this because he saw that there were too many Chinese martial artists on the opposite side, and he was worried about conflicts. The Chinese martial artists did not follow the rules and rallied to attack. Kawashima Taro glanced at Orita. Although he knew he was kind, he still felt uncomfortable. After all, Akito Nakamura always crushed him in terms of position and strength. He snorted, "It''s not necessary, and they have already We are on the plane and there is no way to notify, we can solve this problem!" "Aren''t they going to open? After they unveil the card, I will smash him again!" "If they don''t follow the rules, it''s better to see how they stand!" "You send someone to watch, and as soon as they open their doors, they will notify me! I will adjust the status first!" After speaking, Taro Kawashima came back to the room and started to calm his emotions and recharge his energy for the upcoming smashing place. After more than four years in Xiangjiang, he had already figured out the pattern of the Xiangjiang martial arts world, and naturally knew that Li Wuyang was a master. Although he spoke a bit more aggressively just now, he took it seriously in his heart. After all, kicking a club is not a playhouse. It is possible to cause death. He must deal with everything in the best state. "Yes, Kawashima-kun!" Orrita responded with a loud voice, and immediately acted. What Li Wuyang didn''t expect was that he was going to kick the karate martial arts club after cutting the ribbon, and the karate martial arts club played the same idea. It depends on who is better! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 620: Have you planted it? ! ! As time approached nine o''clock in the morning, all the people who received the invitation arrived, Li Chunqiu and others also came out of the inner hall, and Li Wuyang stood in the center of the small temporary stage. "I thank you Li Wuyang for considering me Li Wuyang and taking part in my great martial arts opening ceremony during my busy schedule. Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone!" "I wish you all martial arts, Fangchang, peaches and plums all over the world!" Li Wuyang blessed, clasped his fists and turned around. "Okay! Accept the words of Li Sect Master!" "Papa..." Suddenly, cheers and fierce applause sounded. "It''s good time!" At this moment, the person sitting on the Grand Master''s chair said in a vigorous and powerful voice. Li Wuyang understood, walked under the gate, grabbed the hanging red cloth with one hand, and pulled it hard. The big red cloth covered by the plaque was torn down, revealing a simple and atmospheric dark red plaque hanging on the door. There are three bronzing characters-Jiwu Dao! "Papa..." Fierce applause sounded again, and even passersby eating melons around also clapped and cheered. At this moment, an untimely voice sounded. Although it was speaking Mandarin, the pronunciation was so distorted that people would subconsciously think that they were not Chinese. "Extreme martial arts? Where did the little martial arts come out of this? Have the courage to open a martial arts hall? It''s ridiculous!" This extremely arrogant and provocative words attracted everyone''s attention, the fierce applause stopped quickly, and everyone followed the prestige. "Pattern..." When seeing six people wearing white karate uniforms and stepping on wooden clogs, they squeezed into the crowd mockingly. Many of the people present changed their faces and glared at these people. Li Wuyang¡¯s third disciple Lin Shaoze almost violent, but was caught The younger brother with eye problems and quick hands stopped. At this moment, not only the guests who came to attend the ceremony, but also the people eating melons, knew that this matter could not be done well. They came to slap their faces on the day of the opening of the Jiwu Dao martial arts hall, and made it clear that they were here to smash the venue. "I just saw them come out. They are from the Karate Martial Arts Center opposite. The two headed by these people should be from the island nation!" "Islanders are careful. When the Jiwu Dao martial arts hall just opened, they came to ask for trouble. It''s a villain." "I know the person headed by Taro Kawashima, the master of the karate martial arts gym. I have seen him defeat ten big men alone." "Wow? Isn''t it, you can fight like this? That''s troublesome." "I just don''t know if this extreme martial arts martial arts school has real skills, if it doesn''t have real skills, it will be a joke..." ... The people eating melons kept talking, and more and more people passed by. There have been many scenes of kicking the hall in the movie, but in reality, they are still seeing each other for the first time. At this moment, a car stopped in front of the karate martial arts hall, and several islanders came down. If Ishikawa Taro, who was standing in front of the karate martial arts hall, turned around, he would find that these people were just from Akito Nakamura and Takuto Ishikawa who flew from the island country. Akito Nakamura wanted to accompany Ishikawa Takuto to see the situation in the martial arts hall. He didn''t want to glance at the crowd subconsciously, but saw a few people wearing karate clothes, and he stopped immediately. Ishikawa Takuto also stopped and asked Akito Nakamura, "Kun Nakamura, what happened on the other side, why did our karate martial artist pass by?" "Your Excellency Ishikawa, I don''t know. No one told me about it. Why don''t we take a look and discuss it?" "also!" ... When Akito Nakamura and Takuto Ishikawa approached the crowd, Li Wuyang also stood up coldly. To be honest, he didn''t expect that Kawashima Taro and others would come to trouble him, and by looking at the posture, he would come to kick the hall! This was beyond his expectation. Originally, he was thinking of going to the opposite karate martial arts gym after finishing the process in ten minutes. He didn''t expect that he hadn''t done it yet, but the karate would do it first. Although the plan was disrupted, the goal must be achieved. Kawashima Taro took the initiative to kick the gym, and then defeated him. It can also hit the karate martial arts gym, stepping up on his body. Do not! Since they take the initiative to provoke, they will attack even harder! Otherwise, I''m sorry that the little devil gave such a face! "Have never heard of extreme martial arts? Haha!" "You will be able to see and see in no time. Karate is **** when compared with us!" Li Wuyang let out a sneer and directly returned to the past. As soon as this insult came out, the troublesome Taro Kawashima and others'' faces changed greatly. The grumpy Orrita Hikaru looked at Li Wuyang with murderous eyes and cursed: "Baga! Karate is supreme, your ultimate martial arts. It''s rubbish!" The faces of Akira Nakamura and Takuto Ishikawa who were watching from the periphery were both ugly. They were both masters in karate. At this time, Li Wuyang insulted their martial arts, which was more serious than insulting their personalities. Both of them showed a fierce look. Look at Li Wuyang. "Ok?" When the killing intent of Ishikawa Takuto and Akira Nakamura was revealed, Li Chunqiu, Li Wuming, and others who were sitting by the side suddenly looked at it. There was a hint of surprise in Li Chunqiu''s eyes, and then a meaningful smile appeared. "what happened?" The difference between Li Chunqiu and Li Wuming was noticed by Xia Yu, and he asked Li Wuming in a low voice. Li Wuming whispered: "The two outside are also from island nations, and they are better than the little devil inside." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, glanced over there, and then looked at the three of Li Chunqiu and his son, Yan Shining and other martial artists, especially the two old men who came out with Li Chunqiu just now. They must be of the same level. of. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth turned into an arc, he was a little looking forward to the development of the next thing, anyway, no matter how to come, the little devil lost, it depends on how they want to dig a hole and bury themselves! Li Wuyang directly ignored the cursing Orrita, and looked at Kawashima Taro, who had the same ugly face. He had already recognized Kawashima Taro''s identity. He was about to kick the stadium, and of course he knew the identity of his opponent. Li Wuyang''s ignorance made Orrada even more irritated. Before he had an attack, Kawashima Taro finally said, "Who gave you the courage to open the martial arts center opposite us?" He also knew who Li Wuyang was, but he was here to smash the scene, so he naturally wanted to gain the upper hand from the momentum. "I lost it, this small island country is so populous, I really want to beat him up!" "Have you ever fought? But to be honest, I don''t think he is pleasing to the eye..." ... There was a lot of discussion among the people eating melons. Some nearby reporters already felt that taking pictures quickly, of course, in the best position, the camera of Global Television was always on. Kawashima Taro''s arrogant words annoyed the martial artists present. Is this deceiving them that there is no one in the Chinese martial arts world? If it weren''t for the fact that this is Li Wuyang''s home court, they would have jumped out to teach Kawashima Taro a long time ago. "It''s a big tone, I''m not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue! Heh~" Li Wuyang put his arms around his chest and said with contempt. "A big tone? You can say so!" "It''s not impossible for you to open a martial arts center here to accept disciples, but who knows if you are a misunderstanding?" "If you can beat me, then your martial arts gym is qualified to continue!" "If you lose, ha ha!" Kawashima Taro sneered again and again, first glanced at the surrounding cameras, a thought flashed in his mind, and then looked at the plaque of Kokubudo. Many of the people present changed their faces, and they had already guessed what Kawashima Taro was thinking. Then I heard Kawashima Taro¡¯s arrogant words: "If you lose, this plaque is not qualified to hang here, I will take it back to pad the table!" As soon as the words fell, the emotions of everyone nearby suddenly burst. "Bad son! I want to kill him!" "Count me a son of a bitch. This is Xiangjiang. I dare to be so arrogant on our Chinese territory. I''m so tired of life!" "Small island people don''t know how many eyes Lord Ma has!" The people present reacted strongly, and Xia Yu also showed cold eyes. Even Li Chunqiu, who had a good temper, had bruised hands on the armrest of the Grand Master¡¯s chair, which showed his anger in his heart. "Kun Nakamura, how did Kawashima make such a choice?" Ishikawa Takuto''s eyes flashed solemnly and asked Akito Nakamura. Akito Nakamura shook his head and said solemnly: "I don''t know, I must ask Kawashima-kun about this, but now there is no way to call him back." Speaking of this, Akito Nakamura saw a group of people coming out of the martial arts hall, and felt a little relieved. No matter what happened next, at least there were a lot of them here. "Let''s watch the changes first, and intervene at any time! Don''t let Mr. Kawashima get caught." ... "Hahaha..." "Since you say that, I will give you a chance!" "But since it''s a gambling battle, naturally the bet must be fair! Are you brave enough to increase the bet?" "If you win, my martial arts plaque is at your disposal, my martial arts gym is closed, and I yelled three times that the martial arts is worse than karate." "But if I win, your karate plaque will be mine, the martial arts hall is closed, and you shout three times that karate is worse than extreme martial arts!" "dare?!!" Speaking of the last, Li Wuyang yelled and stared at Taro Kawashima with round eyes, as if he was sure of him. Among other things, the momentum alone made the people present involuntarily applaud. PS: By the way, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 621: Wrong wishful thinking "Okay! The master of this extreme martial arts is a man, just say this, I will push you! Kill the island nation!" "This is an endless rhythm. It just opened, and I dare to bet on closing the door. I''ll take it!" "Small island nation, isn''t it arrogant? If you have a kind, you can agree!" "Yes, don''t hesitate, it won''t be soft at the critical moment? Haha..." "Kab! Kab!" The sound of cheers, roars, and photos came one after another. "Lee Sect Master is good, just say to you today, old Huang, I will convince you!" "As expected to be the son of Master Li, the tiger father has no dogs, and he is very strong, really a role model for our generation!" The invited martial artists were emotionally infected and expressed their support for Li Wuyang. At this moment, all the pressure was on Kawashima Taro and the surrounding Nakamura Akito and others. Taro Kawashima was here to hit the ground, but he didn''t expect Li Wuyang to come such a hand, and he is now too hard to get off. Promise? He can¡¯t afford this responsibility. If he wins, it¡¯s okay to say. If he loses, not only will the karate martial arts gym be closed, but he will also be humiliated to say that karate is not as good as extreme martial arts. Now so many reporters are here. A sinner of karate, how can karate continue to operate in Hong Kong in the future? Do not agree? Doesn''t it show that he was timid and conceded? It will also be hyped up, and karate is also difficult to gain a foothold in Hong Kong. And the Kokudo martial arts gym is directly opposite the karate martial arts gym. How can the people in their martial arts gym be able to raise their heads? At this moment, Kawashima Taro''s face was blue and red, and even the arrogant Orrita beside him dared not speak. Akito Nakamura and Takuto Ishikawa on the periphery had serious faces, and the situation that they most wanted to see had happened. Now Taro Kawashima is in trouble. Takuto Ishikawa, who is in his fifties, has seen strong winds and waves, and knows that he can''t hold it for long, so he said to Akito Nakamura, "Kun Nakamura, Kawashima-kun has been affected, and I want to trouble you to come out and rescue the scene. "It just happens that I came today, it would be a fraud, you might as well..." "it is good¡­¡­" "My karate martial arts gym agreed to bet on fighting, but the rules for gambling on fighting have to be changed!" As soon as Taro Kawashima gritted his teeth, and just finished a good word, Akito Nakamura pushed aside the crowd and walked in and said loudly. Suddenly, everyone present focused on him. Kawashima Taro also turned his head and saw Akito Nakamura, his face was a bit hot, but his outside light happened to see Takuto Ishikawa who was still on the periphery, his mouth squirmed, and he chose to shut up and hand the matter to Nakamura. Ming people deal with it. "A small island nation came out again, things are getting more and more interesting." "I don''t know what his identity is, is he qualified to agree to the Karate Martial Arts Hall?" He seemed to have heard the discussion around him, and seeing Li Wuyang not speaking, he seemed to be waiting for his identity. He glanced around quickly and said loudly, "I am the president of the Xiangjiang Karate Association, Akira Nakamura!" "Okay, President Nakamura, since you''ve made it for him, let''s say the conditions, as long as it is reasonable, I have no objection!" Li Wuyang made a please gesture and looked at Akito Nakamura like a knife. "Since it is the opening of the martial arts hall to teach apprentices, the strength of teachers is the most important thing. How can a round of battle be representative? If you have the ability to fight three games, the loser will do it at the price you said, do you dare?" Not to be outdone, Akito Nakamura said in a deep voice, his eyes collided fiercely with Li Wuyang. "This little devil is smarter than the last one, and forcibly reversed the unfavorable situation. Hehe, is this an attempt to deceive the martial arts background than karate?" Seeing this, Xia Yu, who was sitting aside, couldn''t help but move Yu, and looked at Akito Nakamura with a playful look. The three Li family fathers and sons, plus Yan Shining, participated in the creation of Jiwu Dao. They were all the founders of Jiwu Dao. Akira Nakamura thought that Li Wuyang was a master, so he thought it was too beautiful! It''s better if things get bigger, as long as he does it, the results will be even more amazing. "Brother Li, since he is so enthusiastic, it would be a shame not to agree to him!" Thinking of this, Xia Yu reminded Li Wuyang aloud. Li Wuyang nodded and said to Akira Nakamura: "Okay, just as you said, don''t run too far, it will affect other people, the location is set on the opposite football field." Xia Yu''s peace talks and Li Wuyang''s reaction all showed their confidence, which instead made Nakamura Akatsuki uncertain. Feeling the lack of information, Akira Nakamura rolled his eyes and said, "You choose the location, and the time is up to me. Don''t charge me and I won''t give you time to prepare. At three o''clock in the afternoon, wait for you to fight!" "Treasure these few hours, after the afternoon, Jiwu Hall no longer exists!" Abandoning this sentence, Akito Nakamura directly led people away. Although everyone was angry, they did not stop him. Everything was clear in the afternoon. "Everyone, the obtrusive person has gone, let''s go on, everyone, please come in for tea." After entering the house, Ye Wen¡¯s closed disciple, the owner of Xiangjiang Wing Chun Martial Arts Museum, Liang Ting reminded with concern: "Master Li, this battle is a bit dangerous. The little devil proposed a three battle. There must be a means we don¡¯t know about. Be vigilant!" "Master Li, the little devil made it clear that he wanted to fight with us, but as long as the old master Li played with your brother, the little devil didn''t want to win!" Hong Sihai, the owner of Southeast Asia Hong Boxing Gym, said that he knows the details of the Li family well, so he does not lack confidence. "Haha, thank you for your concern, but you can rest assured that in the face of absolute strength, the little devil''s wishful thinking will not work, drink tea and tea!" Li Wuyang laughed and said No psychological pressure, obviously extremely confident. Indeed, his father and younger brother are both masters of national martial arts, as long as two of them go out, Xiangjiang Karate will undoubtedly lose! When everyone saw this, they stopped mentioning it and communicated with each other. "Brother Li, such a good opportunity should not be wasted. I will let people make things worse." "But Master still don''t want to play. I suggest you, Brother Yan and Brother Yan play in the afternoon. The order of battle depends on the situation. What do you think?" Before long, Xia Yu called Li Wuyang and others together and suggested. "No problem, I don''t think it is necessary to let my father go. The three of us will play and we will definitely not lose!" Li Wuyang nodded in agreement and said, Yan Shining and Li Wuming also slightly nodded in agreement. Li Chunqiu smiled and stroked his long beard. He looked at Li Wuming and said, "Amin, I have seen the person on the outside. He is a master-level figure of island karate. If he is on the court, you will be on the court, no matter if it is two games. There are still three games, no one can let the little devil win." "Good father!" War intent appeared in Li Wuming''s eyes and nodded in response. After the discussion, Xia Yu took the lead to leave and head to the building of Universal Television. He is going to build momentum, the bigger the noise, the better, the extreme martial arts can take advantage of the momentum to soar! Engaging in public opinion and taking advantage of the trend is his specialty! Let¡¯s also say that after Akito Nakamura and others returned to the karate martial arts gym, they immediately asked Taro Kawashima about the situation. Although some blamed Taro Kawashima for his own proposition, he also understood that he should not be entangled with the crux of the problem. He immediately sent someone to investigate the martial arts. At the same time, I discussed with Ishikawa Takuto about the upcoming war deployment in the afternoon. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 622: Changes in police strength As the crowd of people eating melons dispersed, news of fighting between kokudo and karate spread through the mouths of the gossip citizens. At noon, when the audience turned on the TV to watch the "Noon News" of Global Television Station when they turned on the meal, they happened to see this news, and many audiences immediately became interested. On-site competition, the loser picks the plaque and closes! And one side is a Chinese martial arts gym, and the other is a karate martial arts gym run by islanders. It looks like the best plot in the movie, and the movie can only be watched with money, and there is no sense of substitution. Now it''s different. It can be seen directly on the spot. Bidou Stadium is at So Kon Po Stadium in Causeway Bay, which can accommodate thousands of people. In addition, it is still Saturday, and there is free time. Therefore, many people who have watched the news have made up their minds to be the crowd eating melons in the afternoon, to cheer for the Chinese martial arts gym, and some people who want to show off immediately notify their friends. "Hey, Sir Han, it¡¯s me, Xia Yu... I¡¯m here to report something to you. The Jiwudao martial arts gym and the karate martial arts gym will compete at the So Konpu Stadium in Causeway Bay at 3 o¡¯clock this afternoon. There will be many Citizens come here... OK, then I will trouble you..." After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu scratched Xiaoqiong¡¯s nose next to Li Qian, and said with a smile: ¡°Look, I¡¯ve said it¡¯s okay, your husband, I¡¯m all right, when did I make a mistake?¡± Li Qian rolled her eyes and chuckled: "Yes, my husband is the best." "Haha..." Xia Yu hugged Li Qian in his arms and laughed. When Li Qian saw the news of Universal Television Station at noon, she worried that many people would gather to watch and accidents would inevitably happen, so she reminded Xia Yu to pay attention to public safety issues. Actually, without Li Qian''s reminder, he was also going to call Han Yili for dinner and ask the police department to send some policemen to maintain order on the scene. That''s right, the Conservative Party immediately began to transfer officials and personnel across the country and colonies around the country after the change of office in Britain in May. Under Xia Yu''s greeting, Shi Lirong left his post on June 2 and handed over the work to the newly appointed police chief and former deputy chief Han Yili. Originally, Li Sita, the other deputy director, was struggling with Xia Yu because of offending Xia Yu. He was finally transferred to a British city to manage a prison. Although he returned to the UK, his political career could be announced in advance. End. From the perspective of the Hong Kong people, the Chief of Police has a very high position, but considering that the Governor of Hong Kong is a bit shorter than the Mayor of London in the British government system, you can know the weight of the Chief of Police. Originally, Han Yili''s stance was inclined to Xia Yu. After seeing Xia Yu''s energy in the top level of the British government and affecting his promotion, Han Yili decisively turned to Xia Yu. After Han Yili took office as the chief of the police department, he immediately promoted Li Junxia, ??the chief superintendent, to assist the chief of the operations department, and he was truly among the top ranks of the police department. In the most powerful operations department of the police department, there are only three people at the same level as Li Junxia. Above him is the senior assistant director of the operations department, and above him is the deputy department who has jurisdiction over both the operations department and the criminal security department. Long, Han Yili is the last one. In other words, on Li Junxia''s head, only three people can directly order him! Li Junxia received so many benefits, and Xia Jun, who had the closest relationship with Xia Yu, also received special attention from Han Yili. Although it was not long before Xia Jun was promoted to the police station sergeant, first he had the merits and the second was a tough backer. Han Yili directly came to an outstanding police officer to make an exceptional promotion, promoted Xia Jun to a trainee inspector, and finally reached the rank of inspector and barely entered the police. The lowest threshold for the middle level of the Office. Of course, although the police rank has increased by one level, the actual position of Xia Jun is still the squad commander, because from the police chief to the senior inspectors of the above three levels, the position is the squad commander. The Xiangjiang Police is divided into three levels and fifteen levels. The Constitutional Committee level includes seven levels including the Director, Deputy Director, Senior Assistant Director, Assistant Director, Chief Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, and Superintendent; the inspectorate includes the Chief Inspector, There are four levels of senior inspector, inspector, and trainee inspector; the secondary level includes the four levels of police chief, police chief, senior police officer, and police officer. As long as the promotion of the junior rank is related and capable, it can be promoted quickly. Xia Jun has raised the fourth rank in a year and a half. With the police officer''s brother Han Yili personally ordered, no one dares to object. But entering the intermediate level of the inspector level, the promotion speed will be much slower, but there are big bosses inside and outside, Xia Jun''s much slower promotion speed will also be the rocket promotion speed that others can''t ask for. Xia Jun was promoted so quickly, he became the boss of a group of people at a young age. There must be people in the police department jealous and jealous, but no matter how jealous, they can only be hidden in their hearts. Xia Jun¡¯s background is there, and it is destined to be a **** If Xia Yu doesn''t fall, no one can bring him down in Xiangjiang. On the contrary, there are some active people around Xia Jun. The police officers in Xia Jun team work harder than other teams, just to hold Xia Jun''s thighs tightly, and wait until Xia Jun''s flies and rise to the sky. Therefore, in this case, Xia Jun''s life in the police department is simply not too easy, he only needs to work hard and wait for promotion. "Princelings" exist everywhere, let alone in a capitalist world where money can make sense of everything? After calling Han Yili, Xia Yu thought for a while, then dialed Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong to inform them of their situation, and both said that they would come to watch this afternoon. In fact, at their level, they would not spend time and energy on such things, but now Xia Yu called them and said that he was going to relax and watch a performance. How could they not come? And with the wisdom of the two, it instantly occurred to them that Jiwu Dao was related to Xia Yu, and they were also curious about what Xia Yu wanted to do. In the midst of disturbances, more and more citizens came to the So Kon Po Stadium in Lo Wan, and a simple but sturdy competition arena has been set up in the center of the stadium. When Xia Yu, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon, they found people coming outside the stadium one after another. Many vendors were pushing carts selling snacks, drinks and cigarettes. There were police uniforms everywhere. The police maintain order. After entering the stadium, I found a lot of people sitting around the stadium. I swept it away and there were more than two thousand people. "Xia Yu, there are a lot of people here, Jiwu Dao seems to be a hit in Xiangjiang!" Bao Yugang said with a loud laugh. When he came, Xia Yu had already told him about the relationship between Jiwu Dao and him. After knowing the relationship, Bao Yugang was sure that this battle would be under Xia Yu''s control, and that Jiwu Dao victory was an inevitable result. "It''s better to have a bigger momentum. Xiangjiang is different from the mainland, and the foundation of the national arts is still there. The islanders also rushed in to grab food, and they should really be driven out." Huo Yingdong expressed his opinionWell, the live broadcast equipment of Global TV is set up. " "It''s been arranged since the morning. It is troublesome to match the lines." Xia Yu followed Huo Yingdong''s sight and looked around the ring, and on the high platform, high-end TV live broadcast equipment was set up. After informing Huang Xizhao in the morning, he immediately dispatched people to prepare. "Xia Sheng, Bao Sheng, Huo Sheng, good afternoon!" At this moment, a full-hearted voice sounded from the side, Xia Yu looked at it, and it was Li Junxia. "Sir Lee, long time no see, congratulations on Gao Sheng!" "Thank you, and I would like to thank Xia Sheng for your great attention!" Li Junxia said quickly and modestly. His attitude made Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong a little surprised. The two looked at Xia Yu who was smiling slightly, and thought flashed in his eyes. It seems that the relationship between Xia Yu and Li Junxia is unusual! "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, let me introduce you. This is Li Junxia, ??Director of the Police Operations Division, my good friend." "I won''t introduce these two big guys, you should know each other!" "Of course I know, Ship King and Huo Daheng, our role models for Chinese!" "Haha, Sir Li, I know you, you are the star of the Chinese police world, so lucky to see you!" After a short greeting, Li Junxia continued to dispatch personnel to maintain order on the scene, while Xia Yu and others, under the **** of bodyguards, came to the specially set VIP seat. The arrival of the three tycoons made the people waiting at the scene and in front of the TV very excited, and they were even more looking forward to the immediate competition. Soon, a group of people wearing white karate uniforms entered the arena with their heads high and arrived at a well-arranged position off the court, only about five meters away from Li Wuyang and the others. The battle for martial arts honor is about to begin! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 623: Upset As the time approaches three o''clock in the afternoon, more and more people turn on their TVs and switch to the Hong Kong channel of Universal Television, waiting for the upcoming battle. At the scene, the atmosphere was strong. Akito Nakamura and others who were present saw so many people, and reporters from TV stations and major media were all present, and their faces were solemn. "Kawashima-kun, we must not lose this battle, otherwise karate will be ruined in Xiangjiang, and we will all be sinners of karate!" Akito Nakamura said with an extremely solemn expression. At a glance, there were thousands of people present at the scene, and major newspapers sent reporters over, and even Universal Television also conducted live TV broadcasts. With Universal Television¡¯s current status as the hegemon in the field of Xiangjiang TV, at least one percent of them were present at the same time. With a viewership share of more than 50, Nakamura can fully imagine how much the impact of this battle will be. It can be said that a good failing bet in the morning, in the face of the impact of failure, is not qualified to carry shoes. They simply cannot afford to lose this battle. If they lose, in at least ten years, karate will not be able to raise their heads in Xiangjiang. This taint will accompany Xiangjiang karate for a lifetime, unless they defeat the martial arts again and wash away the stain. Of course, if you win, the benefits will be unparalleled. Not only can it dampen the national self-confidence of the Chinese in Hong Kong, but karate will also resound throughout Hong Kong. This battle is really a heaven and hell! "Nakamura-kun let go, for the fate and honor of karate, even if I fight this life, I will win a fight!" Taro Kawashima gritted his teeth and said, his tone was decisive. The matter was caused by him, and it was already out of control. Although Akito Nakamura and Ishikawa Takuto did not teach him, he was very self-blame and guilty in his heart, and the only remedy was to do his best to win. At this moment, a host appeared on the ring to explain to the audience present and in front of the TV. "The two sides in this competition are extreme martial arts and karate. There are three competitions in total. The form of competition is free fighting until one party loses the ability to resist or concedes defeat. The two wins are the winner and the loser. The martial arts hall in Causeway Bay will be closed, and the other party will be shouted three times." "Now, both parties are invited to send representatives to draw cards. The player with the smaller points will send someone to play in the first game, and in the second game, the other player will be sent first, and so on." "please!" The rules of narration, fairness and justice, are both agreed by Li Wuyang and Akira Nakamura. Because the rules of geek martial arts and karate are different, this time it is based on the points system of the fighting unrest exhibition, but a more fierce actual combat match with fists. On winning or losing. Immediately, Li Wuyang and Akira Nakamura came onto the court with a neat pile of playing cards placed on the table. In front of the camera, the two drew one each, and then opened them at the same time. Li Wuyang has the Ace of Hearts, and Akito Nakamura has the King of Spades. Upon seeing this, Akira Nakamura sighed in secret, with a mocking smile, trying to influence Li Wuyang''s mood: "Sorry, it seems that God is destined to lose!" Li Wuyang glanced at him indifferently, and walked straight to the stage. "Brother Yan, according to the original plan, you can play the first game!" "Okay, boss!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Yan Shining, dressed in strong costume, jumped directly into the ring and stood with his hands in his hands, completely calm and relaxed. This master temperament made many people applaud. "It wasn''t Li Wuyang, but a stranger. Could it be that they hired foreign aid? This completely broke the rules!" Seeing Yan Shining''s unfamiliar face, Kawashima Taro frowned and said in confusion. The information they collected was about Li Chunqiu, Li Wuyang, and Li Wuming and his son. There was no Yan Shining. They thought they would meet Li Wuyang or Li Wuming in the first match, but they didn¡¯t expect to be a stranger. Disrupted their plan. Akito Nakamura squinted his eyes and observed Yan Shining for a moment, then shook his head and said: "They shouldn''t break the rules. It may be that our intelligence collection is incomplete. If you are a martial artist, you should know later." "This man is a master!" Takuto Ishikawa, who had been squinting for a long time, suddenly reminded him that Akito Nakamura and Taro Kawashima looked solemnly. "Kawashima-kun, although the plan has been disrupted, you will still play the first game and go all out!" Akito Nakamura held Taro Kawashima''s shoulder, and solemnly said. Kawashima Taro nodded his head, and then walked to the ring. "Both players are already in place, let us first understand the two players." After the host finished speaking, he walked to Yan Shining, put the microphone in front of him, and asked, "Mr., please give a brief introduction of yourself." Yan Shining did not change his face, and said calmly, "Yan Shining, one of the founders of Jiwu Dao, has become the general manager and chief instructor of Xiangjiang Aegis Security Company!" "Wow..." Following the introduction of Yan Shining, there was an uproar at the scene. Aegis Security is now well-known in XiangjiangThe security work of the first series of Jiuding Consortium is done by Aegis Security, and all security guards wear uniforms. Wearing uniforms and uniform epaulettes, Hong Kong citizens often see Aegis security guards when they come into contact with enterprises of the Jiuding Consortium. Unexpectedly, Yan Shining turned out to be the general manager and chief instructor of Aegis Security. This title is very bluffing. After Akito Nakamura and the others heard it, their expressions changed slightly, and they secretly said that they were in trouble, but now they can only pin their hopes on Kawashima Taro. On the other side of the VIP stand near Li Wuyang and others, Bao Yugang smiled and asked Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, I remember that Yan Shining was your personal bodyguard. This first game seems to have won." "Xia Sheng, the quality of your Aegis security staff is indeed very high. As the chief instructor, Yan Shining should not win the fight." Huo Yingdong joked. Xia Yu smiled confidently and said, "I know if I look at it, I wonder if the little devil can last three minutes!" "Oh? So confident? Then I will take a good look." While Xia Yu and others were chattering, Kawashima Taro also introduced himself as the owner of the Hong Kong Karate Main Hall, which also caused an uproar among the audience. Both sides were big shots and the first game was full of highlights. "Now I announce that the first match begins!" The host also served as a referee. After he announced, he immediately left the ring, leaving plenty of room for the two to compete. In the anticipation of all the people, Yan Shining made an extremely martial art starter, let Kawashima Taro attack first, showing his contempt for him. A ray of anger flashed in Kawashima Taro''s eyes, he took a deep breath, stepped on a steady pace, turned half a circle, and then launched an abrupt attack, sweeping towards Yan Shining with a sharp leg. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 624: Advertising effect Yan Shining stepped back to avoid Kawashima Taro''s kick, and then instantly lunged and punched, hitting Kawashima Taro''s chest with a forward momentum. Taro Kawashima was not a fan, moved his upper body to the left, his tight left arm hit Yan Shining''s wrist from the side, and his right hand punched at the same time, fiercely attacking Yan Shining. "Boom boom..." The two sides launched the Thunder offensive at the same time, attacking each other or defensive pick-and-roll, making waves of muscle collisions, making the audience excited. "It''s too fierce. This is the fight between men. Compared with this, the fight in the movie is too fancy." "If I were to be replaced by me, I would probably be beaten to the ground before I could react. The attack speed was too fast!" "Teacher Yan, come on, defeat the small island nation!" Many spectators clenched their fists and shouted vigorously, and their faces were bloodshot and red because of their excitement. "Kawashima-san, come on!" "Kawashima-san, come on!" There were also islanders at the scene, but only a small group, and they all gathered together, shouting in unison to cheer for Kawashima Taro. "Sure enough, my blood boiled over my old bones." Bao Yugang said with emotion, still watching the fierce collision on the ring with interest. "How do you feel that Yan Shining''s attack is so fierce? What kind of boxing does he practice?" Huo Yingdong squinted his eyes to observe for a long time, and found some clues, and asked Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Yan Shining is practicing Bajiquan." Huo Yingdong raised his eyebrows, and said in a little surprise: "Wen has Tai Chi to secure the world, and Wu has eight extremes to determine the universe, and he turned out to be an eight-chi boxing. No wonder it is so fierce!" "Hey, it seems that the islander can''t stand it anymore." As soon as Bao Yu spoke, he saw Kawashima Taro starting to the back under Yan Shining''s thunder attack, and the frequency of passive defense was significantly higher than the frequency of active attacks. "I''m going to win!" Xia Yu smiled. On the ring, Yan Shining looked cold, punched and kicked, and Kawashima Taro kept moving back. Occasionally, he was hit by Yan Shining¡¯s fist without avoiding it. Kawashima Taro¡¯s face was bloodshot, and he was obviously holding back. He didn''t dare to vent his tone, and held back the pain. The faces of Akito Nakamura and others in the audience were extremely ugly. They already knew that Kawashima Taro''s defeat was set. "It''s too late for you to admit defeat!" On the ring, Yan Shining suddenly persuaded. Kawashima Taro felt a great insult, and shouted savagely, "Deadly fight!" After speaking, he went crazy and attacked Yan Shining. Kawashima Taro''s mentality was in a mess, and the offensive was also messed up. A cold light flashed in Yan Shining''s eyes, and he snorted coldly, intending to attack him. "boom!" "what!" Taro Kawashima, who had lost his composure, really showed open defensive vacancies. Yan Shining seized the opportunity and hit Kawashima Taro with a fist in the chest. "Crack..." Hearing only the sound of fractured bones, Kawashima Taro was beaten by Yan Shining and moved back a few steps, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and then fell heavily to the ground. Yan Shining closed his fist and stood with his hand, condescendingly looking down at Kawashima Taro who was struggling on the ground to get up again. "it is good¡­¡­" "Papa Papa..." The victory or defeat was one point, and there was loud cheers and applause. Akito Nakamura and the medical staff on standby immediately rushed up to rescue Kawashima Taro. "You are so cruel?" Akito Nakamura, who was on the ring, looked at Yan Shining murderously, and roared. Yan Shining twitched the corner of his mouth without speaking, and was full of sarcasm, making Nakamura Akira''s heart angry. "Mr., you haven''t played yet, please go back to the waiting area for now." At this time, the host and referee came up again, said to Akito Nakamura with a cold face, and made a please gesture. Akito Nakamura took a deep breath, took a deep look at Yan Shining, and then ended angrily. "The result of the first match is already obvious. The victory belongs to the ultimate martial arts. Let us once again congratulate one of the founders of the ultimate martial arts and the head of the Xiangjiang Aegis Security Master Yan Shining with warm applause!" The host specially emphasized the pronunciation of the words Jiwudao and the head of the Xiangjiang Aegis security chief, and the meaning of advertising is particularly obvious. But no one is bothered. After watching Yan Shining''s victory, everyone knows that Yan Shining has real skills. These two identities are very suitable for him. At this moment, the words Jiwudao and Xiangjiang Aegis Security were deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV. "Xia Yu, you really got it right. It took less than three minutes. Now it''s less than a minute and a half and the winner will be decided. It''s hard to find a few masters like him in Xiangjiang, no wonder I listened to it. It is said that the security guards of your Aegis Security are very good at fighting. With such a chief coach, it is difficult for employees to think weak." "As soon as today is over, Aegis security will resound in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Your company''s business is too busy, haha." Bao Yugang congratulated with a smile. "Old Bao is right. I think I want to hire Aegis security bodyguards. The bodyguards have real skills and feel more at ease wherever they go." Huo Yingdong echoed. Xia Yu smiled and nodded. This is his purpose, to show the power of Aegis security in the most intuitive way, and the advertising effect is leveraged. ... The applause rang for more than a minute before it gradually disappeared. At this time, Yan Shining had already left. The host looked at Akito Nakamura and said with a microphone: "The second match begins. Please send the second player from the Karate Martial Arts Gym. ." As the host''s words fell, everyone''s eyes and camera shots turned to Akito Nakamura. The pressure on Akito Nakamura in the audience increased sharply. He looked at Takuto Ishikawa with a solemn expression and asked: "Your Excellency Ishikawa, we can''t lose in the second game. Should you go or I will go?" Yan Shining''s shopping mall disrupted their plan. In addition, they lost the first game. Potential opponents were the Li family and the three of them. Their original plan completely failed and they could only decide temporarily. "I''ll take this down!" Ishikawa Takuto left a word and walked straight to the stage. "What''s the matter, how come an old man came up, depending on his age, how can he be in his fifties, he came to make a joke?" "The last middle-aged man couldn''t win. Could it be that his master failed?" "It''s hard to say, isn''t it all written in Jin Yong''s novels? The older ones may be the martial arts masters. They are amazing!" The one who said this was obviously because he had read too many novels, but he happened to be right. "Ishikawa Takuto, one of the four famous masters of island karate, did not expect him to come up in the second game. I was afraid that he would lose the second game too. Seeing Ishikawa Takuto''s eyes on the stage looking at him, Li Chunqiu stroked his long beard and chuckled lightlyFather, he thought you were going to play, he thought about himself too much, so he could kill a chicken. Sledgehammer? Then I got on. " Li Wuyang said, he wanted to take the stage. Although Ishikawa Takuto is a master-level figure like his father, he is not afraid. After all, Ishikawa Takuto is not as good as his father. He said that boxing is afraid of young and strong. I am confident that I can still win if I am tough. "Let your brother go." Li Chunqiu did not agree. Xia Yu also said in agreement: "Yes, Big Brother Li, let the second brother go and have a greater grasp. You are the master of the ultimate martial arts, and you can still win without taking action, which is more beneficial to the ultimate martial arts. " Li Wuyang thought for a while. This is the truth. Ordinary people don¡¯t know that Li Wuming is the strongest in Kung Fu, and they will think that he is the strongest. He is the ultimate boss. The big boss is usually the last to end. He won without taking a shot. Bigger! After figuring it out, Li Wuyang took his seat again and looked at his younger brother Li Wuming. "Then I''m going!" Li Wuming did not hesitate at all, and walked straight to the ring. Takuto Ishikawa on the stage saw Li Chunqiu as he imagined not coming, but a young man came, his brows furrowed, he didn¡¯t know what medicine Li Wuyang and others were selling in the gourd, so he could only look at Li Wuming seriously. On the contrary, Akito Nakamura in the audience was relieved when he saw another young man coming up. He didn''t believe that Li Wu could beat Ishikawa Takuto in the next minute. It''s a pity that Akito Nakamura miscalculated. He didn''t expect Li Wuming to be a martial idiot. He reached the same level of Ishikawa Takuto at a young age, coupled with his youthful advantage, this second game, Ishikawa Takuto will undoubtedly lose! "Okay, the players from both sides have already played, please introduce yourself." https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 625: Extremely nasty "Karate, Ishikawa Takuto!" "Extreme martial arts, Li Wuming!" The two concise and clear self-introductions made everyone present stunned, but they felt compelling and looked forward to them. "Now I announce that the second match begins!" When the host came off the scene, Li Wuming and Ishikawa Takuto assumed a posture. "I thought it was your father who came up, but I didn''t expect... what a pity!" "You are not qualified, I am enough to clean up you!" "I hope your fists are as hard as your mouth." "Oh, too much nonsense, depending on your old age, let you attack first!" "Haha, arrogant!" Ishikawa Takuto laughed angrily and directly launched an offensive, intending to make Li Wuming pay the arrogant price. It was just that within a few seconds, he had twelve points of energy, because what shocked him was that Li Wuming actually collided directly with him without falling under the wind at all, and even faintly gained the upper hand. Li Wuming turned out to be a warrior of the same level, **** it! Big trouble! "No! How could this happen!" Seeing Li Wuming and Ishikawa Takuto in the arena, you are evenly matched, the face of Akira Nakamura suddenly changed and he blurted out. At this moment, his heart was completely messed up, and he didn''t expect that the game he thought he would win would become so dangerous! "Good guy! Xia Yu, to be honest, I''m jealous!" "I''m jealous too!" As soon as Bao Yu finished speaking, Huo Yingdong also said with confidence that Xia Yu''s two bodyguards were masters, and the bodyguards they recruited for decades were simply incomparable. There is no harm if there is no comparison, it''s too heartbreaking! Rao is envious of their status and status. "Haha, luck, luck!" Xia Yu waved his hand and said modestly, but it made the two of them even more depressed. People are more angry than people! "Come here, continue to watch the fight, such a wonderful fighting is rare. It is a pity to miss a picture." Xia Yu quickly diverted the attention of the two to avoid being attacked by the two groups. Three minutes later, Li Wuming elbowed Ishikawa Takuto to the ground. The latter struggled on the ground for a long time, but couldn''t get up. The second game is divided, and the winner is Li Wuming! "Papa..." "Won, it''s wonderful, the little devil is so arrogant in the morning, and now his face is swollen, let them look down on our Chinese Kungfu." "Karate? Bah, rubbish!" There was a lot of discussion throughout the stadium, and Akito Nakamura was trembling angrily, but he could only endure it, and quickly arranged for someone to treat Ishikawa Takuto. Looking at Takuto Ishikawa who was in a trance, he prayed in his heart that there would be no accident, otherwise he would be a sinner of island karate. There are only four master-level figures in karate, and each of them is a national treasure. "Wait, the stakes are!" When the karate group wanted to leave with the ambulance, Li Wuyang shouted coldly. Akito Nakamura was very angry, feeling hot on his face, but the audience yelled at the "stakes" in unison, making his legs as heavy as lead. "Mr. Akito Nakamura, you have lost both matches. According to the rules of the match, you should fulfill your bet before leaving!" The host took the microphone and said, and walked to Akito Nakamura. Akito Nakamura wanted to slap the host to death, but he could only endure it. Everyone at the scene focused on him, and the camera was on him. The surrounding reporters kept taking pictures, and he had nowhere to go. Anxious that Ishikawa Takuto was injured, he didn''t dare to hold on any longer. Although he was unwilling, he still resisted his anger. "Causeway Bay Karate Martial Arts Hall will be closed today when I go back." "Karate...not as good as extreme martial arts." "Karate is not as good as extreme martial arts." "Karate is not as good as extreme martial arts!" There was a microphone with the host, and even though Akito Nakamura''s voice was not loud, everyone in the audience heard him. Akira Nakamura was so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to find a hole in it. "Keep the plaque for me, we''ll get it later!" Li Wuyang exclaimed, stimulating Akito Nakamura again. "Wow, cool!" "Extreme martial arts! Extreme martial arts! Extreme martial arts..." Led by the scattered slogans of a few people, the audience quickly became infected. The slogans were unified, and they shouted the martial arts in unison and cheered for them. The sound resounded throughout the stadium. Even the pedestrians on the road outside the stadium could not help but stop. Find out what happened inside. Akito Nakamura is like a mouse crossing the street, leading people to quickly escape from this shameful place. At this moment, Jiwu Dao''s honor was added, and the corpse of Karate appeared in everyone''s sight. Li Wuyang seized the opportunity and brought Li Wuming and Yan Shining to the center of the ring, and the host wittily handed the microphone to Li Wuyang. Upon seeing this, the audience stopped cheering and looked forward to Li Wuyang''s speech. "I am Li Wuyang, the head of Jiwu Dao. Everyone knows the two beside me, and they are also the founders of Jiwu Dao." "Our Jiwu Dao opened today. The purpose of the establishment is to teach all Chinese children the real kung fu handed down by our ancestors. We don¡¯t cherish ourselves, but Jiwu Dao hopes to do our best to let my Chinese children have strong physique and steel. The will of the Chinese people, may my Chinese woman be like a dragon!" "There are a total of 19 Jiwu Dao martial arts gyms in Xiangjiang Omen, waiting for your arrival!" After speaking, Li Wuyang, Li Wuming and Yan Shining clasped fists and saluted everyone. "it is good!" "Sure enough, they are all martial arts masters. They are broad-minded. I will sign up tomorrow!" "My son is always clamoring to learn kungfu. I didn''t know which martial arts school had real kungfu before, so I didn''t dare to send it there. Now that Jiwu Dao has appeared, I can finally register for my son with confidence." ... There was a lot of discussion, and many people decided to sign up in an instant, looking forward to becoming kung fu masters like Li Wuming, Yan Shining and others. Because of martial arts novels, Xiangjiang has always been learning martial arts, and the society is relatively dark and turbulent, and many people at the bottom are living insecure. If you have the time, you can definitely improve your life safety. After the show, Li Wuyang came to the Causeway Bay karate martial arts center. In their angry eyes, he took away the karate plaque and became the collection of the extremely martial arts center. In the evening, many evening papers reported on what happened today. Universal TV¡¯s "News 30 Minutes" was a large-scale publicity report After the news, it also broadcasted the pre-recorded Jiwu Dao 200. A video of group martial arts practice. The video was filmed from the top of the building. More than two hundred people dressed in uniform, punched in sync, plus a uniform slogan, giving people a strong visual impact. The following day, many newspapers under Jiuding News added a fire. Extreme martial arts is completely on fire! The nineteen martial arts applicants of Jiwu Dao had to squeeze the martial arts hall. The scene was so hot that Li Wuyang couldn''t close his teeth in joy. Jiwudao is not only popular in Hong Kong and Macau, but also in Southeast Asia. The media in the island country wants to cover the news, but the newspaper of Jiuding News has already been published and entered the island country. Many readers in the island country can''t believe it after reading it. The island country has also caused a huge sensation, and Jiwu Dao has entered the field of vision of many people. Also on fire, there is Aegis Security Company. Everyone knows that Yan Shining, one of the founders of Jiwu Dao, is still the general manager and chief instructor of Aegis Security. From this, it can be imagined that the employees of Aegis Security Company are not as effective as possible. It will be worse. Many companies have applied to Aegis Security for cooperation, and some grass-roots tycoons have also waved banknotes to Aegis Security to recruit bodyguards. Finally, a group of big brothers in Xiangjiang, whether it is Baidao or underworld, finally understood Xia Yu''s force, not only powerful personal bodyguards, but also martial arts halls all over Xiangjiang, and a large number of Aegis security companies. It can be said that Xia Yu can definitely rank first in terms of security. The big guys on the road all raised Xia Yu''s attention to more than one level, giving him a sign that he was extremely troublesome.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 626: 22.5 billion Jiuding Building, Chairman''s Office. After spending several days and a lot of manpower, Huo Jianning finally collected the detailed information of Sega Corporation, American Overseas and Industrial Corporation in the shortest time. At this time, these materials were being checked by Xia Yu. Huo Jianning, mixed with expectation and anxiety, sat aside and waited quietly. Sega is composed of two parts, namely Sega of the United States and Sega branch of the island country. In the eleven years since Sega of the United States was acquired, it made full use of the resources and background of American overseas and Western industrial companies. At this time, the business was very mixed, focusing on sales and having deep business contacts with the military. And it is not engaged in the production of electronic game consoles in the United States. For this American company, Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition would be more troublesome. In addition, it lacks the core and is only a company in the downstream of the industry chain. It has great substitutability and low value potential, which is not considered in Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition. The Sega Island Branch is in the upper reaches of the video game industry. Because it is not listed, the equity relationship is very simple. With the management, although there are 13 large and small shareholders, only four have influence. The parent company Sega of the United States holds 70% of the shares, the founder David Lawson holds 10%, the hardware partner Sharp Corporation holds 12%, and Nakamura Hayao holds 4.5%. In addition, the other nine senior management collectively hold 3.5%. If you want to keep the company alive and function normally after the acquisition, both Nakamura Hayao and the management must stay, so it is best not to move the shares of these people. Therefore, Xia Yu''s goal is to buy a total of 92% of the shares of Sega, David Rosen and Sharp. As for U.S. Overseas and Western Industrial Corporations, according to data, it is essentially an overseas investment company with U.S. capital that uses U.S. capital to acquire or invest in companies with potential in overseas industrial fields. If the invested company makes money, it will continue to hold it, taking away most of its profits every year, and exit if it loses money. Of course, even if the invested company makes money, as long as someone is willing to pay for it, it can be sold. For American overseas and western industrial companies, there is no company that cannot be sold. The key is profit! Therefore, Huo Jianning analyzed that the equity of the Sega branch of the island country belongs to 70% of the parent company of the US Sega, and the decision to sell lies with the US Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation, and the acquisition will not be too difficult. After all, under the squeeze of Taidong Sega Company, life is not easy. Sega of the United States does not rely on the games created by Sega Island Sega. The entire sales channel will also sell Taidong''s game consoles. Even if the Sega branch of the island country is sold, the arcade machines produced can also be distributed by Sega America. After seeing these materials, Xia Yu was relieved. He knew that it would not be too difficult to acquire Sega. "Boom..." Xia Yu tapped his **** lightly on the tabletop, his eyes in a daze, thinking about the starting angle. "Among the three parties, the acquisition of 80% of shares of American Overseas and Western Industries Corporation and David Rosen should not be difficult. The most difficult one should be the 12% of the shares held by Sharp." "But I remember that Sharp is the core company of the Sanhe Consortium, so it should be easier for Kazuya Fukuhara to come forward." Thinking of this, Xia Yu considered it for a moment, and felt more and more feasible. The Fukuhara family is one of the top big families in the Sanhe Consortium, with high rights and prestige. As the heir of the Fukuhara family, Fukuhara is also one of the deputy managers of Sanhe Bank. Sanhe Bank is a major creditor of Sharp Corporation. I believe Sharp will give Fukuhara Kazuya this face. In addition, Fukuhara Kazuya and Jiuding Securities have established a Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company, each of which holds 50% of the equity. The acquired business will be handed over to Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company. I believe that Fukuhara will definitely work hard. Allow Xia Yu to see his energy and make a fortune. Thinking of this, Xia Yu suddenly wanted to know the investment situation of Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company. This joint venture company is related to his calculation of the Sanhe Consortium. If the business is not good, the impact will be great. After encouraging Huo Jianning, Xia Yu left for Jiuding Securities. It happened that Wang Qi had to let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. come forward to purchase the shares of the island nation Sega. After a while, Xia Yu arrived at Jiuding Securities Company. At this time, Jiuding Securities Co., although its headquarters was located next to the Kowloon Stock Exchange, it also established branches in the other three exchanges to facilitate business. "Wang Qi, how is the company''s operations?" Xia Yu asked Wang Qi and inspected all departments of the company with him. "Chairman, the company''s overall operation is very good. Although the stock market fluctuates occasionally in the first half of the year, it has been rising in the long-term. Investment has grown rapidly and its influence has grown. Now, leaving its own funds aside, the company''s management Its original capital has reached 4.2 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Adding the leveraged funds and the own funds granted by you, the capital controlled by the company has now reached 22.5 billion Hong Kong dollars." Wang Qi''s face was calm, and he introduced like a few treasures. The capital of 22.5 billion Hong Kong dollars is enough to make the Hong Kong stock market up and down. It has become very easy to control the market. There is no need for any insider. Many things can be accomplished with capital alone. Using large capital, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. secretly made a lot of dealers and obtained very lucrative returns. Moreover, the stock market is rising, even if you don''t operate, you can make a lot of money just lying down. And Jiuding Securities has so much capital, thanks to the US$3 billion that Xia Yu handed over to Wang Qi for temporary operation. This money is nearly 14 billion in Hong Kong dollars just Such a large amount of funds flowed into the stock market, enough to push the market higher. "Look, this is the operating status table of all funds that the company counted last week." At this moment, the subordinates ordered by Wang Qi came over and handed in a form to Wang Qi. Wang Qi glanced at it and immediately presented it to Xia Yu and introduced it. Xia Yu took it casually and looked at it carefully. There are now fifteen funds, each of which is profitable. The only difference lies in the capital scale and profitability of the fund. "not bad!" After reading it, Xia Yu smiled and praised him. Because he didn''t know which companies each fund invested in, he didn''t comment too much. He was relieved to have such good results under Wang Qi''s care. "How about the island branch and Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company?" Back in the office, Xia Yu asked again. "Before you invested in the stocks of some companies according to your instructions, now both companies are running well." "correct!" "Yesterday the manager of the island country branch submitted a batch of investment lists for approval. Here, you have a look." Wang Qi said what he thought of, opened the drawer on the left hand side, took out a pre-investment filing approval list and handed it to Xia Yu. The above is the list of island companies that some island country branches have analyzed and recommended for long-term holding and the reasons for recommendation. For example, Asian Petroleum Corporation, Toyota Motor, Fujitsu and other companies in the energy sector are all core companies under the six major consortiums of the island countries. After seeing one of the names, Xia Yu''s mind suddenly flashed, and he remembered something that he almost ignored. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v2 Chapter 627: Once again Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 627 Author Huang Lao wet Full text number 2456 words Sony Corporation, a company in the electronics industry that belongs to the Mitsui Consortium. Seeing Sony, Xia Yu suddenly appeared in his mind, Sony¡¯s representative Walkman, which is the Walkman. He remembers that it was released in the second half of 1979, leading the world trend and making Walkman the flagship product of Sony, which was developed from generation to generation. In ten years, 250 million units have been sold, generating tens of billions of dollars in direct revenue and driving the development of related industrial chains. Until the 21st century, Sony continues to make money. It can be described as an evergreen product of Sony. What makes Xia Yu regret is that it seems that Sony is about to release this product to the public. It is too late for him to acquire it. After all, Sony is a company under the Mitsui Consortium. Compared with ordinary companies, the acquisition will be more difficult. More than doubled. Even if you don''t want to buy, you want to stop Hu''s self-development, it is too late. After all, even if he knows the principle of the Walkman, he still needs a supporting factory, plus product design, manufacturing, promotion, etc. It will take more than half a year to say nothing. It is too late. When he developed it, Sony had already released the first-generation Walkman. Such a big gold mine was ignored by him. But on second thought, in his eyes as a rebirth, the opportunities of the times are countless, and opportunities that are more valuable than the Sony Walkman cannot be grasped. It is normal to ignore this. But now that I remember it, I definitely can''t ignore it. I can''t eat alone, so I have to grab a sip of soup to drink. He has registered Tiangong Group and Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., and he will definitely enter the field of walkmans in the future, not only to make money, but also to accumulate industry heritage and pave the way for the promising future of semiconductor, mobile phone, computer and other industries. The goal of Tiangong Electronics in the future is to let Sony call Dad. But now, after the release of the Sony Walkman, the emergence of this epoch-making product will cause the same craze as in history. Sony¡¯s stock price will also skyrocket. Now it is necessary to quickly go to the secondary market to acquire a part of the stock, do more Sony, and earn a lot profit. Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately put down the list and instructed Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, order the island branch to do more than Sony with ten times leverage. I have secret information. Sony is about to launch a major product, which will produce huge Influence." "Fast speed!" Wang Qi was startled, no doubt he was there, and immediately nodded in response: "Understood, I will give the order right away." Seeing Wang Qi''s attention, Xia Yu was relieved, he slightly nodded. He continued: "You will inform Kazuya Fukuhara and ask him to help. Jiuding Yonghe and the fund company will do more Sony." "I saw the investment of Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company. Although there are many bright spots, it lacks shocking investment. The project, lest Fukuhara and Kazuo be underestimated, invest in this project together." Anyway, half of the equity of Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company belongs to Jiuding Securities Company, and half of the money goes to Xia Yu. Furthermore, the long-term Sony pie is too big, and the island country Jiuding Securities Company can¡¯t eat everything. It will not have much impact when called Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company, so Kazunari Fukuhara will once again see the strength of Jiuding Securities and its future good value. Will be higher. "Okay, I will notify you in place." Wang Qi solemnly responded. After talking about Sony, Xia Yu went on to talk about the acquisition of Sega. Wang Qi listened carefully and executed it immediately after Xia Yu left. Let¡¯s talk about Fukuhara Kazuya. After talking with Wang Qi, he immediately became interested in Sony. After the person in charge of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. came to the door, he immediately agreed to a ten-fold leveraged fund allocation application. Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company quickly acquired shares of Sony in the secondary market. At the same time, Fukuhara Kazuo personally went to Sharp Corporation to purchase shares of Sega Corporation. Sure enough, as soon as it entered July, on July 2nd, Sony solemnly held a press conference in Tokyo. Akio Morita personally introduced the functions of Sony¡¯s new product Walkman. Under the publicity of the mass media, Walkman quickly spread throughout the entire In the island country, various peculiar features have attracted the interest of the majority of young people. Many media have given super high evaluations. Even the island country¡¯s most influential and most popular "Yomiuri Shimbun" also gave a super high evaluation of "epoch-making" products. . Thanks to this good news, Sony¡¯s share price began to skyrocket, and the closing price that day was up 13.2% from the opening price. After the island country Jiuding Securities invested 4.2 billion yen to leverage ten times the leverage, the total capital was 42 billion yen, and it became long in Sony and acquired more than 30 million shares of Sony from the secondary market. Occupies 2.43% of the total share capital. In one day, the floating profit reached 5.54 billion yen, equivalent to 120 million Hong Kong dollars. Later, as the Sony Walkman continued to ferment, the daily sales of this product hit a record. Major investment companies raised the evaluation of Sony''s stock one after another, and Sony''s stock continued to rise. Capital has poured into long Sony, which further pushed up Sony''s stock price. In ten days, Sony¡¯s share price has risen by 42.4%, and it gradually stabilized After consulting Xia Yu, Jiuding Securities gave up future profitability and liquidated Sony''s stock. Because Sony¡¯s stock price is still trending upward, more than 30 million shares released will soon be taken over by other companies. After deducting the handling fee, Jiuding Securities made a short-term investment of 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Taking a ride from Sony, Xia Yu took a bite of meat. And Jiuding Yonghe Fund Company also earned 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Kazuo Fukuhara was once again fortunate to cooperate with Xia Yu. He anxiously wanted to increase his weight and attacked Sharp Corporation. It took another three days to earn 4.5 million. The price of US dollars helped Xia Yu acquire a 12% stake in Sega held by Sharp. After the island country Jiuding Securities Company made money, the funds continued to be invested in the island country''s foreign exchange market and shorted the yen in accordance with Xia Yu''s instructions. After increasing the yen at the end of last year, Xia Yu knew that the yen would depreciate again, from the peak of USD/JPY at the end of 1978 at 195 points to the trough of USD/JPY at the beginning of 1980 at 250 points. The appreciation of the yen from 241 points to 195 points in 1978 was due to the United States. The reason for the devaluation of the yen this time is still because of the United States. Iran triggered an oil crisis and made inflation worse in the United States. The Federal Reserve controlled interest rates and increased currency issuance to reduce inflation, forcing the dollar to appreciate. Therefore, the yen just climbed the hill to the top, and rushed down like a roller coaster. In half a year, it dropped from the peak of 195 points to the current 217 points. The island country was tied to a dog chain by the United States, which is so sad. However, this is just right. The island country Jiuding Securities Company used a huge amount of funds to invest in the island country''s foreign exchange market. Now the floating profit has reached as much as 1.7 billion US dollars. As long as it reaches the beginning of 1980, Xia Yu will reap billions of dollars in profits after the settlement. This time, Xia Yu, following 1978, will smash the island country''s wool fiercely. ~: There was a traffic accident and went to the hospital to treat the wound Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update!

Full text update of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", keep in mind the URL: v2 Chapter 628: Fighting within the Keswick family When Xia Yu embarked on the acquisition of Sega, the news of Guangming Fund''s acquisition of the shares of Land Group was inevitably exposed. After all, the Land Group is a listed company, and Bolton Keswick, as one of the major shareholders on the surface, is difficult to hide the share renewal, and it is not as concealable as the scattered acquisition of stocks in the secondary market. And Bolton Keswick also knew that it was difficult to hide the news. In order to get the high commission from the Bright Fund, he privately actively persuaded the retired Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick. In just eight days, results were achieved. The 9.4% stake in the Land Group held by Rodney Keswick was acquired, sold to Bright Fund, and received a commission of 110 million Hong Kong dollars. The equity of Land Group held by Bright Fund has also risen to 19.9%. Bright Fund has become the largest shareholder in fact. When Bolton Keswick continued to conquer the 11.8% stake in the hands of Claude Keswick, the latest shareholding news of the Land Group disclosed by the exchange, Bright Fund held 10.5%, becoming the third largest shareholder. Heungjiang Real Estate¡¯s leading equity information has changed, especially the original Keswick family¡¯s equity is missing. According to calculations, the Keswick family only holds 41.8% of the equity. The Keswick family¡¯s control over the Land Group is no longer unbreakable! As soon as the news came out, the thoughtful British and Chinese tycoons immediately collected the first-hand news, and inquired about the sacred light fund that suddenly appeared and broke the inner fortress of the Keswick family! Of course, the most nervous is the Keswick family, especially Dick Keswick, who now holds the largest share and also serves as the chairman of the Land Group. Mid-levels of Victoria Peak, the Keswick family mansion. The leaders of the five veins of the Keswick family gathered together, but the atmosphere on the scene was very different. Dick Keswick looked resentful and stared coldly at Burton Keswick, who was sitting on the opposite side. Phil Keswick, who also insisted on staying, sat next to Dick Keswick, his expression also gloomy, and occasionally looked at Burton Keswick with unfriendly eyes. Rodney Keswick, who sold the equity to Bolton Keswick, had signed an internal confidentiality agreement with Bolton Keswick, but after the latest shareholding information of Land Group was disclosed, he realized that Bolton ¡¤ Keswick is working for the Bright Fund. And the equity held by Bright Fund is not the exposed 10.5%, but the original 9.4% of its own vein, for a total of 19.9% ??of the equity. It''s just that after all, it was done, and he accepted the money, and it was too late to regret at this time. In addition, he sold the equity without telling Dick Keswick, which is equivalent to stabbing the latter in the back. Therefore he remained silent, folded his arms around his chest and remained silent. The rest of Claude Keswick also guessed the inside story. At this time, he was expressionless, observing the expressions of the four sitting people, especially focusing on Rodney Keswick and Bo Toon Keswick. After a moment of silence, Dick Keswick, who was getting more and more angry, couldn''t help but fired at Bolton Keswick: "Boton, why are you doing this?" "You are too selfish. For your own benefit, you sacrificed the benefit of the entire family. You are betrayal!" Phil Keswick, who is in the same position as Dick Keswick, also echoed his criticism: "Boton, our Keswick family has been targeted for a long time. Only by uniting can we reluctantly resist the invaders. Now because of you Our family will usher in big trouble again!" Bolton Keswick is not easy to provoke. In addition, because of interest disputes within the family, there is no affection at all. He is ready for the back road and has no scruples. The only regret is that he did not grab the news. Before the exposure, he acquired 11.8% of the equity held by Claude Keswick, which saved hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits. Without any burden, he finally tore off the fig leaf inside the Keswick family. Faced with the attack of the two, he countered and said: "What is betrayal? The equity I sold belongs to me, and I have the right to decide its use. ." "You also know that all the big families in Hong Kong, whether they are Chinese or other British consortiums, are planning to eat us. We can''t fight it at all. Instead of getting weaker, it is better to keep your assets and get out of the UK." "Dick, Phil, you are going to stay and wait to die, don''t drag us together, we are not obligated to pay for your wrong choice!" Bolton Keswick''s sharp counterattack made Dick Keswick angrily. He said loudly, "Well, even if you want to leave, you have to tell us in advance. Now we are not prepared, we will be very passive! The restless shareholders will definitely do it again." Bolton Keswick smiled coldly in his heart and scolded Dick Keswick as shameless. Deciding to stay or leave the issue, the family has been arguing no less than ten times, and has never got a clear result. If he tells the rest of the family to sell the equity, Dick Keswick will definitely destroy him. In the final analysis, now that Dick Keswick reacts so strongly, it is not because his actions have had a serious impact on Dick Keswick¡¯s position as chairman of the Land Group and his idea of ??staying in Xiangjiang! Ask him to compromise his own interests for the sake of Dick Keswick and others, don''t even think about it! As for other shareholders to start hunting for the Land Group, what does it matter to him? Thinking of this, Burton Keswick smiled coldly and did not answer Dick Keswick, his attitude was very obvious. This made Dick Keswick''s blood flow up and he was extremely annoyed. Seeing that the conflict is likely to escalate again, Rodney Keswick, who has been sitting all the time, said, "Dick, Bolton''s equity has been sold, and no more quarrels will help. Now what I should think about is how to resolve it. " "Before we discussed the issue of leaving , there has been no conclusion. Now it seems that we have to face this issue." "Boton, you should tell us the situation of the Bright Fund." After speaking, Rod Keswick gave Burton Keswick a meaningful look. Claude Keswick, who had been observing secretly, had a sudden heart, his eyes narrowed, and he also looked at Bolton Keswick and said: "Yes, Bolton, you should now take a look at the process of selling equity and the Bright Fund Tell us about the situation." "We are a family after all!" Dick Keswick saw the two of them saying this, and took a deep breath of the anger in the air pressure, and stared at Bolton Keswick coldly. For a time, all four of them focused on Bolton Keswick. Bolton Keswick glanced over the four of them, sorted out the words that he had prepared, and said half-truths. The most powerful hero of rebirth v2 Chapter 629: Exposed "You also know that I returned to the UK to buy a property some time ago, but unfortunately I encountered difficulties. I was approached by the Bright Fund. The Bright Fund offered to help me acquire the target at the price of the shares of the Land Group. So I agreed to sell the shares at the market price. Bright Fund." Here, Bolton Keswick panicked without blinking his eyes and turned the 20% premium into parity. This was to conceal his gains from the acquisition of Rodney Keswick¡¯s shares in Land Group. Based on his understanding of Rodney Keswick, if he knew that he had made more than one billion in profits, it would be a big trouble, so Bolton Keswick would naturally consider himself. As for others, believe it or not, then it has nothing to do with him! Anyway, he killed the stock and sold it at a fair price. I believe that another informed vested interest, Bright Fund, would also like him to spread the word to reduce the cost of subsequent acquisitions. If other members of the family are really affected and lose their profits, hehe, what does it have to do with him? "As for the Bright Fund, I don''t know much about it. I only know that the Bright Fund and Duke Howard jointly acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. There are also the Financial Times Group and the Daily Telegraph." Speaking of this, Burton Keswick said it was gone. In fact, he still has one of the most important messages that he didn''t say, that is, after he inquired, there is an important shareholder of Bright Fund from Xiangjiang, and it is extremely likely that it is Xia Yu. This point was only heard later. When he heard the news, he was also stunned and even regretted and panicked for a while, but after calming down, he thought that the stock had been sold, and he could no longer get off the ship. This extremely important information, he thought deeply about it or didn''t plan to tell others, just as he didn''t know it, and it would only harm him if he said it, after all, what he did was a traitorous act. As for the influence on others? Still that sentence, what does it matter to him? Although they belong to the same family, the family love is no longer there, so I should take care of my own interests. It can be said that Burton Keswick showed the selfishness of human nature to the extreme. In fact, the information he said is enough for Dick Keswick and others to analyze. I saw all four of them concentrating on their eyebrows, combining with the information mentioned by Burton Keswick, analyzing the real intention of Bright Fund to acquire the stock of Land Group. They are still very clear about the original official background of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. At the same time, they have also paid attention to Margaret''s rise to power and the political views of the Conservative Party. Of course, they are more aware of the status and energy of Duke Howard in Britain. At the moment when the Conservative Party came to power, the Bright Fund was able to cooperate with Duke Howard to acquire the Rolls-Royce Motor Company with a national defense background. This shows that the background and energy of the Bright Fund will never be bad. With such an unknown background, a powerful company suddenly acquired an equity stake in the Land Group, which is far away from the UK, and it makes more sense. Dick Keswick knows the sensitivity of capital to politics, so thinking about politics from this aspect, the information analyzed is inspiring him. He turned his mind, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, although the Land Group is a big company in Hong Kong, we know that the particularity of Land Group should not be targeted by investment companies far away in the UK. , So the only possibility is that the new government will hold on to the position of Hong Kong." "The Bright Fund believes that Hong Kong¡¯s real estate industry is bright, so it holds shares in the Land Group." "Even the British government has this attitude, so we should stay in Hong Kong to make more profit, instead of going against the policy and returning to the UK." Phil Keswick lifted his spirits and immediately echoed: "Yes, Dick is analytically reasonable. At any time, if you want to earn, you must follow the trend. It is more beneficial for us to stay in Xiangjiang." Rodney Keswick, who had already sold the equity, nodded subconsciously, feeling that what they said was a bit reasonable, and suddenly regretted selling the equity of the Land Group. Instead, Burton Keswick sneered in his heart, but continued to remain silent. Claude Keswick¡¯s position is very firm. He took everyone¡¯s performance to the bottom of his eyes, thought for a moment and said: "Dick, this is just your analysis. We should not know the background of the Bright Fund. Relying on a guess to decide the way forward hastily." "What''s more, now our family has a loophole in the control of the Land Group. If you want to stay in Xiangjiang, you should be more concerned about the acquisition of the shares of Land Group by Bright Fund for pure investment? Or is it for...acquisition? !" When he said the word "acquisition", his tone was a bit meaningful, and he gave Bolton Keswick a glance. Burton Keswick did not change his face, as if he hadn''t heard what Claude Keswick meant. Sure enough, when it comes to the control of the Land Group, Dick Keswick''s face is solemn again. He also knows that the issue of staying and wrangling will still be left behind. The most important thing now is to keep the core of Land Group. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "What you said is correct. It concerns the interests of all of us. , I hope everyone will mobilize contacts and investigate the details of the Bright Fund." "And!" Speaking of this, he suddenly increased his volume, looked at Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick, and solemnly said: "Claude, Rodney, danger is coming again, I hope you don¡¯t follow Like Bolton, it puts us all at a disadvantage." Claude Keswick nodded and said faintly: "I know." Rodney Keswick, who has already sold the equity, nodded without changing his face. As for Bolton Keswick, he has been ignored by the annoyed Dick Keswick. The former doesn''t care, shrugging and drinking coffee to himself. After ¡¡¡¡, Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick left hurriedly, and the remaining three also got up and prepared to leave. When Rodney Keswick was about to leave, Claude Keswick asked suddenly: "Rodney, have your equity sold?" The unprepared Rodney Keswick''s face changed. Although he quickly recovered his calm, the result was already obvious. Claude Keswick''s heart sank. Before Rodney Keswick could explain, he sneered: "It seems that Bright Fund already holds 19.9% ??of the equity, and the purpose is to acquire Land Group." He stared at Bolton Keswick like a knife, and said in a deep voice, "Boton, I know you still have key information. Our position is the same. Now that Dick and Phil are gone, you should always say Right?" Bolton Keswick''s expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled and denied: "Claude, I have said all the information I know, you can''t help me if you don''t believe me." Rodney Keswick also picked up his mood at this time. Now that Claude Keswick had guessed it, he was calm, staring at Bolton Keswick and said: "Boston, I know You helped Bright Fund acquire equity and made a lot of money. Since I sold it, I don''t regret it." "But you must let us know the truth, lest we suffer greater losses!" "Boton, we need the truth. Don''t worry, we won''t tell Dick and Phil." "Only when I know the situation can I decide whether to sell the shares in Land Group!" Claude Keswick continued to speak, even with a vague sense of seduction. Sure enough, when it comes to making money, Burton Keswick was tempted. In addition, depending on the situation, he can''t leave without telling him, so he thought about it, spread his hand and said, "The information I know clearly has already been said, but there is still one uncertain news that I haven''t said. As soon as these words came out, both Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick looked at him with scorching eyes. Bolton Keswick said: "I also heard that one of the owners of the Bright Fund is from Xiangjiang, and it is very likely...Xia Yu." "Who?!" "Xia Yu?" Claude Keswick stood up suddenly in shock, staring at Bolton Keswick. Since I have already said it, but there is no pressure, Burton Keswick shrugged and said faintly: "You heard it right, it''s Xia Yu!" "hiss..." Claude Keswick took a deep breath and squinted at Burton Keswick for a long time. v2 Chapter 630: 800 million won "It turned out to be Xia Yu!" "Is he staring at us again?" Rodney Keswick was also shocked, subconsciously thinking that Xia Yu wanted to attack them again. Youdao was afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake for ten years. What''s more, Xia Yu bites the Jardine Consortium not once or twice. Every time it hurts the Jardine Consortium. In the end, the Jardine Consortium fell apart under the leadership of Xia Yu. In Hong Kong, even though the Jardine consortium collapsed, the assets of the Jardine consortium they inherited are also very large. In terms of wealth, the Keswick family is still at the top level in Hong Kong. But the other big guys are not afraid, only Xia Yu. When the previous strength was not as good as the Jardine Foundation, Xia Yu was able to dominate and ravage them. Now the comprehensive strength of the Jiuding Consortium has surpassed them, and they are not unified within them, and they are still being targeted by others. If Xia Yu stared at them again, they would still only be ravaged. The blood of the old John and his son haven¡¯t been done yet! They don''t want to follow in the footsteps. As the descendants of Viking pirates, they know the blood and cruelty of capital. Thinking of this, Rodney Keswick''s position is once again firm, and it is better to return to the United Kingdom. After all, it is only Xia Yu who stays in Hong Kong one day, and they have to be worried all the time. If they make money, they have to prevent being robbed again. As for what Dick Keswick analyzed before, now it seems to Rodney Keswick to be a complete joke. Claude Keswick packed up his mood and sat down again, and asked Burton Keswick solemnly, "Boton, since you found out that he was buying, why sell the equity? In Chinese terms , You are leading the wolf into the room!" Bolton Keswick was very innocent, and said with a wry smile: "I didn''t know at the beginning. I only found out after selling the equity. Now I haven''t got the exact information, so I didn''t say it." "What''s more, we are being watched by him again. We are destined to have a very difficult life in the future. If we continue to stay in Hong Kong, we will not be able to develop steadily. It is better to return to the UK." As soon as these words came out, both Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick fell silent. Although I don''t want to admit it, the facts are really as Burton Keswick said. The Jardine consortium was hunted down last year. After all, they still secured some companies, including the Land Group, and there are five listed companies. Even if they have absolute controlling rights in these companies, there is no need to worry about being taken away by Xia Yu, but doesn''t it mean that they will not sell their shares in the next few decades? There is no way to raise funds, no way to merge, and the development ceiling of the companies they hold is restricted. Even companies that have not yet been listed must be prevented from being eaten by Xia Yu. Under this situation, they really can''t develop their career wholeheartedly, so they have to guard against the tiger Xia Yu. The only way is to kill Xia Yu, or wait for the Jiuding Consortium to fall. But with these two items, they didn''t dare to bet on their own destiny. "Besides, it''s only 18 years since the treaty expires. You don''t know the attitude there. There is another risk in staying in Hong Kong. Rather than betting on the uncertain future, it is better to return to the UK now. More time to re-development." ¡°Don¡¯t forget that the Conservative Party¡¯s policy strategy is to promote economic reforms. There are many opportunities. Rolls-Royce Motor Company¡¯s spin-off and sale is a typical example. Now we can go back earlier to seize more opportunities earlier.¡± Burton Keswick urged again. Anyway, his equity has been sold, so it''s better to bring Claude Keswick into the water, so that there are so many people on their side. Even if Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick resent, they can''t help it. "Claude, the Bright Fund entrusted me to purchase the shares of Land Group. You should sell the shares. Don''t sell it to others. Just sell it to Bright Fund. After all, Bright Fund has a lot of energy in the UK. We will go back. , To offend financial bullies like them, it is us who suffer." Burton Keswick said this, he still wanted to fight for it again and earn a fee. Of course his words are not unreasonable, so Claude Keswick nods slightly. "Let me think about it again, don''t worry, Dick and Phil will not know what happened to us just now." Claude Keswick stood up and walked outside. "Well, you can calm down tonight and talk about it tomorrow." Bolton Keswick was a little anxious, but didn''t lose his composure. After hesitating, he still didn''t persuade him. Rodney Keswick also stood up, looked at Bolton Keswick quietly for a few seconds, and then said: "Don''t worry, I won''t tell them, I should also look for a back road..." Watching the two leave, Burton Keswick sat quietly for a long time before leaving with a sigh and shaking his head. ¡­¡­ Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick have a different position from Dick Keswick and others, so they kept their secrets. But the Land Group is the leader of the real estate industry in Hong Kong. The change of shareholders has attracted great attention. Under the digging of crazy reporters, a news broke out, which shocked Dick Keswick and others. Charter King and Huo Czar are secretly merging the equity of some small shareholders in the Land Group! and it is said that a relatively large result has been achieved! The two tycoons teamed up to focus on the Land Group, which immediately caused a huge sensation, but because the stock market was closed for these two days, the stock price of Land Group would definitely rise accordingly. The news made Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick anxious. On the contrary, Claude Keswick made up his mind to sell his equity and leave Hong Kong. Just when he was about to sit and watch the situation waiting to be sold, an invitation letter made him rush. only because of the signature on the invitation letter-Xia Yu! The name is like a huge rock on Claude Keswick¡¯s chest, making him breathless. After wandering around the house for a long time, after smoking five cigarettes, Claude Keswick decided to go to the appointment tonight. Yes, last night Xia Yu learned about the conversations of the five people in the Keswick family mansion, and then he no longer concealed his invitation to meet Claude Keswick. The Keswick family, as an important villain in the rise of Xia Yu, how could Luo Net not focus on it? One of the methods is to install military monitors in the Keswick family mansion, not only in the living room, but also in the rooms of the five heads of Dick Keswick and Claude Keswick~www.novelhall.com ~ Yesterday the exchange updated the shareholding of the Land Group. Xia Yu expected that the Keswick family would jump, and ordered Ma Qianjun to tell him the news as soon as possible. Therefore, at the moment when he knew that he had been exposed, Xia Yu decided to go straight to Huanglong and take down Claude Keswick in one fell swoop. That night, in the top box of Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel in Harbour City. Under Xia Yu¡¯s big stick and carrot offensive, Claude Keswick, who had decided to sell his equity, reluctantly chose to compromise for a stable future, and agreed to sell his equity to Xia Yu. Xia Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, asked him to bring the contract and signed the preliminary contract on the spot. Continue the unfinished process on the second day. Until 10:30 in the morning, the 11.8% equity of Land Group held by Claude Keswick was in Xia Yu''s hands, and Xia Yu paid 840 million Hong Kong dollars. At this point, together with the 19.9% ??stake held by Bright Fund, Xia Yu owns 31.7% of the stock in Land Group. The Keswick family holds only 20.6% of the shares held by Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick, who are still in the dark. Under the betrayal of Claude Keswick and others, the Land Group is destined to change ownership! Next, I''m going to gnaw these two hard bones! But just as Xia Yu acted, there were some changes that he hadn''t expected in secret. v2 Chapter 631: Calculation and shock Lishan Building, No. 6 Xiangjiang Ice Factory Street. This building is not outstanding in this area, the total height can only be considered to be above the middle. But almost everyone in Xiangjiang knows this building, especially those in charge of financial branches in Hong Kong and other countries such as Britain and the United States. It''s just because there is a big Buddha living in this building-Rohill & Sons Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. Although in terms of capital, Rothschild''s subsidiary company can only be regarded as upper-middle in the Hong Kong financial industry, but it cannot cover its deep background. The name Roshir is a golden sign in the eyes of people who know the goods. Xia Yu also knew about this company, but he never took the initiative to contact him, even wishing them to ignore him. It is not that Xia Yu fears them, but that he knows that there are great disadvantages in contacting them before he is not strong and has no self-protection. After all, through those memories, Xia Yu understood their hypocrisy, greed and cruelty. But Xia Yu didn''t want to take the initiative to contact them, but he couldn''t stop Rothier''s parent company from wanting to contact him. At this time, Charles Rohill, in his fifties, and his 30-year-old son Sean Rohill sitting face to face. "Father, this is the 3.1% stake taken from the Kadoorie family." Sean Rohill handed the bag of documents to his father. Charles Rohill glanced at it and put it down again. The Rohill family¡¯s intelligence capabilities are not bad. They noticed George Berkeley¡¯s contact with Burton Keswick in London, and then they learned about Xia Yu¡¯s idea of ??fighting the Land Group. The Rohill family, who originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to contact Xia Yu, immediately asked Charles Rohill to start from this aspect. Without conflict with Xia Yu, Charles Rohill thought of acquiring what Xia Yu wanted and waited for Xia Yu to come. After some screening, Rohill and his sons took a fancy to the 3.1% equity of Land Group held by Kadoorie Family Investment Company. The Kadoorie family is originally Jewish, and the Rohill family can be said to be the top existence in the Jewish race, and can be called the Jewish royal family. Therefore, facing Sean Rohill who came to the door, Roland Kadoorie easily transferred the shares in the Land Group. However, the Land Group is huge after all, even if it is a 3.1% stake, it is still close to 200 million Hong Kong dollars according to the market value. Although Rockhill¡¯s parent company can be obtained, they don¡¯t think it is necessary. After all, they will soon transfer their shares, so they find HSBC and use ten times the financial leverage to acquire the shares in the Kadoorie family. "Father, how do we start next?" Sean Lowhill''s head dropped slightly, and he asked Charles Lowhill for advice. Charles Rohill flashed thoughts in his eyes, and said faintly: "If you get the equity, we will take the initiative. Then you go to the exchange to update the equity information, and then we will wait for his people to come." As long as Rothschild''s parent company holds 3.1% of the shareholding information, it will definitely attract the attention of hunters who are robbing Land Group shares. As long as Xia Yu wants Land Group, he will definitely come to his door. It''s nothing more than waiting for the rabbit. Sean Lowhill thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, the equity in the hands of Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick will not sell easily. It is very difficult for Xia Yu to take it down. As for the Keswick family He may have taken down the shares of the other two people, but there are many people who are eyeing the Land Group. It is difficult for him to acquire two-thirds of the shares for compulsory privatization." "Then father, the share price of Land Group is still going up, should we continue to buy some?" Charles Rohill said casually: "Do what you want and grasp the price scale. The more shares of the Land Group, the better." "I know." ¡­¡­ In the afternoon, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong jointly visited the office of the chairman of Jiuding Building. Xia Yu made tea to entertain the two. Just after taking a sip of tea, Bao Yugang couldn''t restrain his curiosity and asked, "A Yu, is Guangming Fund your company?" Huo Yingdong also quietly put down his teacup and looked at Xia Yu. Although the Exchange exposed the Bright Fund yesterday, the Keswick family did not ask for a board meeting. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were not easy to ask Xia Yu on the phone, so they came together today to ask clearly. If the Guangming Fund is Xia Yu''s, it is best. If not, they will sum up in person and how to deal with it. After all, the three of them had discussed moving the Land Group. The two of them also acted secretly, and they were not exposed until yesterday. Originally, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong¡¯s companies held 3.2% and 3% of the shares in Hongkong Land Group respectively. However, after negotiating to team up with Land Group, they secretly acquired the shares without being discovered. The shareholding ratio rose to 5.9% and 5.7% respectively. They can now apply to the board of directors of the Land Group to give them a new board of directors. Before, neither of them held more than 5% of the shares. According to the Hong Kong listed company regulations, neither of them could recommend a director. However, in response to this situation, Xiangjiang also has a cumulative voting system, also called a joint voting system. This system is to protect the rights and interests of small shareholders. As long as the voting rights of small shareholders exceed 5%, they can also jointly recommend a director. . Prior to this, in order to achieve their own goals and protect their own interests, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s voting rights were used together, and a director was jointly recommended to represent their interests. Not only that, it doesn''t count if the Keswick family is excluded. Except for the Swire Group, which holds a 5.4% shareholding ratio, which has a single board seat, other Chinese bigwigs are all jointly recommended directors. Zheng Yutong¡¯s New World Development holds 3.7%, Li Zhaoji¡¯s Henderson Land Development holds 3.4%, Li Jiacheng¡¯s Cheung Kong Holdings holds 3.1%, and the three jointly hold two board seats. He Hongshen¡¯s Shun Tak Group holds 2.3% of the shares. The He family, one of the four old Heungjiang families, that is, the head of He Hongshen, holds 3.7% of the shares. The two jointly hold a board seat. Hujia¡¯s Hopewell Holdings holds 3.6%, Guo Desheng¡¯s Sun Hung Kai holds 3.2%, and the two jointly hold a board seat. In other words, when the Land Group was hunted last year, more than 29.2% of the equity was in the hands of the Chinese-owned tycoons. Although they were scattered, after they were united, the Chinese-owned companies still had five director seats in the Land Group. Voice and influence. And now their shareholding ratio has risen again, and the total shareholding of China Land Holdings has reached 34.6%. If the exposed Bright Fund is Xia Yu''s , then the shareholding ratio of the Chinese capital camp will reach 45.1%. On the contrary, the Keswick family, which has lost 10.5% of its equity, will reduce its shareholding ratio to 41.8%. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are very clear about what this means, so they ran over to ask in person. While others were still investigating the background of the Bright Fund, the first thought of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong was that the company belongs to Xia Yu. Looking at the twinkling eyes, Xia Yu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, this company belongs to me." "And!" As soon as the words ¡¡¡¡ came out, the two of them refreshed their spirits, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and a possibility emerged in their minds. I only heard Xia Yu continue to say: "The shareholding ratio of Guangming Fund is not the exposed 10.5%. I also took the equity in the hands of Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick." Bao Yugang glared at him. He quickly calculated the distribution of shares of Land Group and said in surprise: "So you already hold 31.7% of Land Group''s shares?" Huo Yingdong was also shocked when he heard this number. He asked, "A Yu, is this true?" I saw Xia Yu nodded with a smile, then shook his head and said, "It''s not 31.7%, but 33.8%. I asked my subordinates to buy me a total of 2.1% of the equity from the secondary market." PS: One more night :. : v2 Chapter 632: Divide the cake For a moment, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong fell into silence, but the shocking gaze that the two looked at Xia Yu revealed a huge shock in their hearts. Xia Yu calmly took a sip of the teacup. After Huo Yingdong came back to his senses, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he touched his palms and said, "Haha, A Yu, you are as aggressive as ever." "Yes, I just acquired 2.7% of the equity. It''s okay for you to acquire one-third of all equity at once. People are ashamed than others!" Bao Yugang was also amazed. Xia Yu smiled modestly and said: "Luck, luck." Upon seeing this, Bao Yugang shook their heads and smiled bitterly, no longer entangled in this. Xia Yu often did this, obviously because of his strength, but always said that it was luck. This hit them even harder, and often made them depressed. After drinking tea, the two of them also calmed down. Now that they have such favorable conditions, the two are active and wondering how to act. "Ayu, in this way, the Keswick family only has 20.6% of the equity left. The total equity of the three of us alone has reached 45.4%. Now we can take control of the Land Group." Bao Yugang narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a certain tone. Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Old Bao, you are right. Land Group can now be said to belong to Chinese capital. All Chinese shareholders together hold 68.4% of the shares. As long as we unite, we can completely compel privatization. The Serk family can be driven to the brink of power." "But this is not what we want. The hidden value of Land Group is very large, and its assets are far from the supermarket value. Now the opportunity lies here. Of course, we are trying to obtain as much equity as possible." "Leave aside, the Keswick family, the Swire Group and the Kadoorie family together still hold 29.1% of the equity. Now the opportunity is rare. We are striving to win all of these." "As for the equity held by Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and others, we also try to take it as much as possible. If we clean up one more shareholder, the Land Group''s cake will be distributed less." In their original plan, after the privatization of the Land Group, the assets will be liquidated and then split according to the proportion of shareholding. Huo Yingdong nodded in agreement: "Old Bao, A Yu is right. You know how valuable the Land Group is. If there are only three of us, why let the others benefit!" Bao Yugang smiled and said, "I''m just talking about it, how could I forget what I discussed before." "Now that Ayu''s holdings have not been exposed, we still have a certain amount of favorable time, which cannot be wasted." "There are still a lot of shareholders left. Time is running out. Let''s allocate a target?" "Yes!" "no problem." Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong agreed. "A Yu, you are stronger and have more liquidity. Which ones do you want to pick?" Bao Yugang did not choose immediately. Instead, he gave the initiative to Xia Yu. After all, although they had paid in the battle to devour the Land Group, they were more likely to follow Xia Yu to fight the wind and get the benefits. Quite a lot, he can''t be greedy anymore. Huo Yingdong nodded slightly without comment. Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will choose the Keswick family, Swire Group and Kadoorie family. I have 29.1% of the three companies. I have the remaining 25.5% of the equity. Go eat. " These three British shareholders are the most difficult to acquire, but Xia Yu doesn''t care. After all, for him, the goal is the same for everyone. On the contrary, it is Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, who have deep friendship with various Chinese bigwigs, and it is less difficult to acquire the equity in their hands. It would be more difficult if the two of them were to acquire the equity in the Swire Group, the Keswick family and the Kadoorie family. Although there was a smaller cake left for the two of them to share, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong did not dislike it, but were very grateful. Of course, the two of them could see that Xia Yu had jumped out of the hard bones to chew on his own. They left the easy-to-eat meat. This embarrassed Bao Yugang, who is majestic: "A Yu, you don''t need to take care of us..." "Eh, old Bao, you can''t say that. What do you mean by me taking care of you? But I have picked out more. Don''t think I have too much appetite." "Let''s make the decision. If there are any difficulties or emergencies later, we will discuss the details." Xia Yu interrupted Bao Yugang directly, said with a smile, and immediately decided. Bao Yugang smiled bitterly, and once again returned to his heroic state, he said aloud: "Okay, then we are not polite." Then, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were in front of Xia Yu, and divided the goals according to their connections and strengths. Bao Yugang acquired the shares of Li Jiacheng, He Hongshen, Xiangjiang Hejia and Hujia, totaling 12.7%. Huo Yingdong acquired the shares of Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng, totaling 10.3%. No way, Bao Yugang is closer to Li Jiacheng and the Hu family, and He Hongshen has a deep hatred with Huo Yingdong. He Hongshen¡¯s equity will never be sold to Huo Yingdong. Acquired by Huo Yingdong. And Huo Yingdong, relying on Haisha''s business, has a lot of friendship with Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, and Guo Desheng, and it is still possible to acquire the equity in the hands of the three of them. It can be said that Bao Yugang takes care of Huo Yingdong very much. As for the remaining 2.5% of the equity, it is still in the hands of retail investors or investment institutions, and everyone has their own skills. In fact, after the hunting battle last year, although the Land Group is still a listed company, its equity has been concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, rarely in the hands of retail investors or investment institutions. Although it has been nearly nine months since the hunting of the Land Group last year, and the shares have been released one after another halfway, but some time ago, Xia Yu and three others secretly bought from the market and cleared the circulating stocks almost~ www.novelhall.com~ The reason why the remaining 2.5% of the stock has not been acquired is also because the retail investors holding these stocks are more determined. They are holding the stock and will not sell it, betting that the stock price of Land Group will continue to rise. Dealing with this kind of retail investors, combined with the situation of the Land Group, there is no way to harvest them at the dealership. The only way is to provide them with a price that satisfies them. Of course, there is another more ruthless way, that is, Land Group applies for delisting, compulsory repurchase of the stock in their hands, and voids if not sold. Anyway, it adds up to 2.5% of the equity, which has no effect on the overall situation and is destined to not escape. set the general direction and clarified the division of labor. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong did not stay too much, and the two immediately took action. But Xia Yu thought for a while, and decided to start with the Kadoorie family first. After all, the remaining Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick of the Keswick family belong to diehards; while the Swire Group is not bad for money, and the strength is also top-notch, these two are more difficult to deal with. On the contrary, it is the Kadoorie family, the main force is in the Kowloon area, and it will give him face. Xia Yu just asked Wang Qi to do something, but he didn''t expect a news from the exchange to make him messy. The shareholding of the Land Group has undergone major changes. The original shareholder Kadoorie Family Investment Company withdrew and transferred 3.1% of the shares held by Rothschild to Hong Kong Limited. Another dark horse appeared! In the office, Xia Yu gradually frowned as he looked at the information on the paper. v2 Chapter 633: Shock "I didn''t expect them to intervene. Could it be that the Land Group also fell in love with it?" Xia Yu first came up with an idea, thought for two seconds, shook his head and rejected his guess. It''s not that he looks down on Roshill and his son Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. Although this company has a good reputation and has a deep influence in corporate mergers and acquisitions, if it is capital, it can''t afford the Land Group without looking for a bank. Unless it is the head of the Rothschild family in the United Kingdom, he has this strength. Furthermore, he does not believe that Rockhill''s parent company is worthy of the Land Group. It is not because the Land Group is not large enough, but because it involves industry choices and the Rockhill family''s strategic positioning. Although the real estate industry has become more and more influential in Hong Kong, it is not as good as finance, heavy industry, energy and other fields. Combining memory, Xia Yu knows that the Rothschild family is still licking their wounds, and even if they have money, they will not invest in such a superficial industry as real estate. So Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. took the 3.1% stake in the Land Group held by the Kadoorie family. It was not intended to acquire, but to make a fortune. or who entrusted Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. to acquire shares, considering the company''s business functions, there is a certain possibility. It¡¯s just that if someone really entrusts its acquisition, Rohsier & Sons Co., Ltd. should not update the equity information, but should hand over the equity to the buyer as soon as possible. Xia Yu contemplated his eyebrows for nearly half an hour, and analyzed all possible situations, but there was still no way to determine what the purpose of Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. was. After all, there is too little information to understand, and there is no way to make an effective analysis! "Forget it, don''t worry about it, no matter what, they must get the equity in their hands. Then let Wang Qi pick up and touch the situation." Later, Xia Yu called Wang Qi and asked him to find a way to acquire the remaining shares of the Keswick family, as well as the shares of the Land Group held by Swire Group and Rockhill & Sons. ¡­¡­ "Chairman, are you looking for me?" Huo Jianning came to Xia Yu''s office again, and stood respectfully after greeting. "Sit down!" "Thank you, Chairman!" After Huo Jianning sat down, Xia Yu looked at him up and down, and Huo Jianning raised his head to show his best state. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Jianning, I have been working for a while, how do you feel?" Huo Jianning was a little confused and could only answer truthfully: "Since I returned to the chairman of the board of directors, I have had a very fulfilling life. By following you, I have gained a lot in terms of ability and vision, but I feel that I have There are still shortcomings, I did not complete the work you arranged, but I will continue to work hard and do my best to complete the work you assigned." Seeing Huo Jianning''s firm statement, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Yes, attitude is the most important. As long as the attitude is in place, the ability will definitely be improved." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and told Huo Jianning: "There is a chance, you go and exercise." "Sega is still in the process of acquiring, and Tiangong Group and Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. are also registered. Even if Sega is acquired, there is no way to move to Xiangjiang. It is destined to focus on the island country in the early stage." "But Xiangjiang is the foundation of Tiangong Electronics. You are responsible for building Tiangong Electronics from scratch. You need all the resources and I will satisfy you. You need to solve the software by yourself. Do you have any confidence?" Huo Jianning was shocked from the beginning, and then turned into excitement. The chairman of the board gave him a burden, and he was still planning to build a company from scratch. Not everyone can do this kind of work. It must be very difficult. After all, it needs to be considered comprehensively. If this can be done well, then it will not be a problem to manage a company. He has studied this kind of profession, and becoming the general manager of a company is his goal. The opportunity is right now, how can he not get excited? ! Huo Jianning nodded heavily and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, Chairman, I am confident that I am qualified for this job." "Very good, it depends on your performance!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction. "Thank you for the chairman''s cultivation!" Huo Jianning said gratefully. "Don''t leave your job now. The pressure is so great that you can''t stand it anymore. Tell me." Xia Yu once again urged that although it is a kind of exercise to let Huo Jianning prepare the company, being his secretary general in the chairman''s office is also a kind of exercise. Of the two, the former is to exercise executive ability, and the latter is mainly to exercise overall outlook and thinking ability. If you want to be a top talent, you can''t live without either. It can be said that Xia Yu is trying his best to train Huo Jianning, and he has given him the opportunity that many people dream of. "Understand!" "Chairman, I won''t let you down!" "Well, go!" After ¡¡¡¡, Huo Jianning continued to devote himself to work as if he had been beaten up, and Xia Yu took out the pen and paper and started writing. Entering the video game industry, you must make brilliant video games, and what he is doing now is to make out the games in his memory that will be hot in the future, make detailed plans one by one, and then hand them over to the video game company. implement. ¡­¡­ While Xia Yu was busy, the Land Group incident was fermenting again. More and more media are paying attention to this matter. Secretly, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong called Xia Yu one after another, concerned about the issue of the Kadoorie family equity change, and then stepped up the acquisition of the target¡¯s equity. On the list of shareholders of the Land Group, everyone is the top boss in the Hong Kong row ~ www.novelhall.com~ At this critical moment, each one is followed by the media. So even though Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were doing very secretively, the news inevitably leaked out. This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. People who eat melon are paying attention to the acquisition of Land Group. Just three days later, multiple news came out one after another in the same morning, making the people eating melons as excited as having a chicken blood. Rockhill & Sons Co., Ltd. acquired a 5.4% stake in the Land Group held by Swire Group, raising its shareholding ratio to 8.5%. Bao Yugang took the shares of Xinde Group and Hejia Hejia, and the shareholding ratio rose to 11.9%. Huo Yingdong took the stake in New World Development and his shareholding ratio rose to 9.4%. Bright Fund took the equity in the hands of Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick, and its shareholding ratio soared directly to 33.8%, becoming the veritable largest shareholder. According to statistics, someone with a heart came to a shocking message. The Keswick family¡¯s control of the Land Group is in name only. It depends on when Bright Fund, the largest shareholder, convenes a board meeting to kick Dick Keswick. The position of the chairman. Within one day, there were so many explosions in succession, the impact was extremely far-reaching, and the most affected were Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick. After urgently summoning the family members back, Dick Keswick''s hoarse roar sounded from the Keswick family mansion: "Why are you doing this! Why!" v2 Chapter 634: Completely defeated Dick Keswick couldn''t help but be angry. He was like an erupting volcano at this time, full of anger and wanton venting, and his whole person was going crazy. God knows the sadness and resentment in his heart. In the past few days, he can''t eat well and sleep well every day, and he doesn''t know how much hair he has grabbed. The news broke that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were acquiring shares in the Land Group, which had already put a lot of pressure on him, and the emerging Rothier & Sons Co., Ltd. shocked him. Before he calmed down, he learned that other Chinese shareholders were also about to move, and the background of the Bright Fund was not clear. He had a big head. That''s all. Today, Jiuding Securities came directly to the door and wanted to buy the equity in his hands. It scared him even more. In the end, he suppressed the panic in his heart and temporarily dealt with the people of Jiuding Securities. Unexpectedly, when he was exhausted physically and mentally, he heard these news one after another, and he was shocked to faint. All sorts of evil wolves jumped out in a short period of time, but he had no strength to fight back, he could only watch the Land Group slaughter him. The source of this situation is the betrayal of the family Bolton Keswick! Before convening a meeting overnight, Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick promised that they would not sell their shares. But only a few days later, without telling him and Phil Keswick, they sold their equity to the enemy. How can Dick Keswick not be angry? How can you not hate it? It¡¯s just that something has happened, no matter how angry it is, it can¡¯t be undone. Therefore, facing the angry Dick Keswick, the three of Claude Keswick looked coldly, allowing them to vent their emotions. The indifferent attitude of the three of them caused Dick Keswick to punch the cotton, and finally roared and laughed, and collapsed weakly on the chair. Even so, Dick Keswick stared at the three of Claude Keswick, and muttered "Why do you do this?" In the end, Rodney Keswick, who was still not cruel enough, couldn''t bear it, and sighed secretly and persuaded: "Dick, we have to do this too. We can''t hold these assets. It''s useless to insist." "Look at it now, the Chinese are clearly united. Even if the equity in my hands and Claude is not sold, the Bright Fund and the Chinese can fight against us if they unite." "Even the Rohill family got involved, do you think we can stop it?" "Offended the Rohill family, we can''t even go back to England!" Sure enough, Dick Keswick''s lips trembled when he heard the Rohill family, and asked: "The Bright Fund belongs to the Rohill family?" Rodney Keswick looked at Claude Keswick, and saw the latter slowly saying: "No, it is Xia Yu. I sold the equity in my hand to Xia Yu, and now it shows that it is the Bright Fund. It''s already obvious." When these words came out, Dick Keswick was shocked, staring at Claude Keswick, and then said to himself with a sorrowful smile: "It turns out that he is behind the scenes. You are afraid that he is also normal. How many people in Xiangjiang are not afraid of him..." "But we are a family, you can''t hide it from me and Phil, you are betrayal, this is betrayal, do you understand?" "bang~" first muttered to himself, talking about Dick Keswick suddenly violent, slapped on the table, yelled at the three of them, round eyes full of bloodshot eyes. "Especially you, Bolton, if it weren''t for you, it wouldn''t be so bad!" Facing Dick Keswick¡¯s anger, Burton Keswick could no longer remain silent. He said with a cold face: "Dick, you still blame me now? If you want to blame, blame us for our different positions. You have you. I have my choice, why should I stay in Xiangjiang to accompany you to die?" "You say, what qualifications do you have to influence my choice?" As he said, Burton Keswick stared at Dick Keswick''s bloodshot eyes without showing any weakness. "Hey¡­¡­" Just then, a sigh sounded, but it was Phil Keswick who remained silent. Everyone looked over involuntarily. I saw Phil Keswick pull Dick Keswick next to him back on the chair, and comforted him: "Dick, now things have happened, and it¡¯s no use investigating what happened before. Please calm down. , Think about how to solve the current situation." "How can we solve it now? The Bright Fund belongs to Xia Yu. He is in the same group as Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. Now the Land Group is under their control. Maybe they will oust me tomorrow." Dick Keswick said emotionally. "Dick!" Hearing Dick Keswick¡¯s complaint, Phil Keswick frowned and shouted loudly. "Now the situation is obvious. Xia Yu and those Chinese are eyeing us again. Our family''s largest land group is about to be taken away, and the family''s other foundations will not be able to defend. Now we have no choice. The best way is Return to the UK." "This time it is the Land Group, next time it is the Jardine Machine Group, it is Jardine Holdings, and it is Maxim Group. We can''t stop this group of evil wolves. Bolton and the others have decided to leave Xiangjiang, and they hold The shares of the other companies that are now being sold will definitely be sold again, and we have no choice." "Boton is right. No one has the right to interfere with other people''s choices. Let''s go back to England." "No matter what you choose, I have decided to go back to my hometown!" Dick Keswick was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh, and said in a dry voice: "You are right, go back, or go back..." Hearing him say this, the atmosphere at the scene eased a lot. Dick Keswick said: "Then who are you going to sell your equity to? Didn''t Jiuding Securities come here today?" "Do not!" "I will not sell to Jiuding Securities If it were not for that person, our Jardine Consortium would still be the largest consortium in the Far East. He is the enemy of our Keswick family. It would be impossible to want the equity in my hands! " "Anyway, I decided to leave, and I''m not afraid of him. Didn''t the Rohill family intervene? I sold the equity to the Rohill family and let the Rohill family clean him up!" Dick Keswick''s eyes flashed with hatred. Burton Keswick''s face changed and he reminded: "Dick, don''t hurt us. The Bright Fund''s influence in the UK is not small, and it will offend him severely. If he has greater influence in the UK in the future , We will still face big troubles!" Dick Keswick''s face changed slightly, but the hatred in his heart couldn''t go down. He didn''t intend to compromise, and insisted on saying: "This has nothing to do with you. I will solve my own business." After speaking, Dick Keswick left the field angrily, leaving the four of them staring at each other. "Nafir, what are you going to do? To whom?" Burton Keswick looked at Phil Keswick and asked concerned. Phil Keswick looked at Bolton Keswick with a smile, and said, "My? Wait! See who bids higher!" "Now, I''m going to find a way out for myself, huh..." After finishing speaking, Phil Keswick also shook his head and left. This internal family meeting broke up again unhappily. v2 Chapter 635: Meeting with Lohill and his son "Well, I got it." After hearing Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu thought blankly. Wang Qi reported to him and went to Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick twice. The latter was okay, but it was always vague. There was a high probability that he wanted to sell at a high price. On the contrary, it was Dick Keswick, who politely shied away the first time, and then resolutely said that he would not sell the equity in his hands. Wang Qi is not clear about the situation, how could Xia Yu, who is always monitoring the Keswick family, not clear? Phil Keswick wanted to sell at a high price, but Dick Keswick was completely stubborn and planned to fight him to the end, ready to sell his equity to Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. to cause trouble for him, and his heart is shameful! After the Keswick family hit a wall, Wang Qi then went to Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. to find out, but the latter offered to talk to Xia Yu. Wang Qi, who has no right to call the shots, could only return to report to Xia Yu. This abnormal performance made Xia Yu aware of something wrong. His instinct told him that Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. suddenly bought the U-shares of the Land Group in an uncharacteristic manner. It was for him. However, the original equity of the Swire Group and the Kadoorie family is in the hands of each other, and if you want to take the equity from Dick Keswick, it is best to cooperate with Rohill & Sons Ltd. Therefore, in any case, Xia Yu can''t avoid this trip unless he doesn''t want the shares of Land Group. Furthermore, now he has become a climate in the King of Xiangjiang. Even if the Raptors of the Rohill family came across the sea, he was confident to tell the other party that in Xiangjiang, it is the dragon that must be held by him! "Wang Qi, go and tell them that at four o''clock this afternoon, invite them to the Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel for a talk." Thinking about it, Xia Yu decisively told Wang Qi. Regardless of what Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. makes, he is not afraid, but the initiative is now on the other side, and he is not unresponsive. Rohill and his sons are not going to talk to him in person? Then he directly set the time and place, and set the momentum first. "Good chairman, I will go now." After finishing talking, Wang Qi immediately went to contact the other party. At four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, at Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel, in the top box, Xia Yu took Wang Qi to a seat, observing Rohill and his son sitting opposite. Rohill and his son were also looking at Xia Yu, as for Wang Qi directly Ignored by them. "Mr. Charles, this is the first time we have met. Are you disappointed after watching me for so long?" Xia Yu said with a faint smile, looking at Charles Rosier''s eyes as calm as water. Charles Rohill was like a kind old man at this time, giving the intuitive impression of harmless humans and animals. He smiled and shook his head and said: "I have heard your name all the time, but it is the first time I meet you officially. ." "Disappointment is definitely non-existent. To be honest, even though I was prepared, I am still shocked to see you." The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth curled up, and he said as if to himself: "Oh? I always thought I was ordinary." After speaking, I couldn¡¯t wait to answer, Xia Yu instantly reduced his smile, looked at Charles Rosill seriously, and said first: "Mr. Charles, let¡¯s talk about business first. Wang Qi told me in the morning that I need to talk to you personally. I''m here now, don''t know what you can advise?" Talking, Xia Yu made a please gesture, and then quietly looked at Charles Rohill. He didn¡¯t plan to spend time with Roshir and his son. The initiative was originally in the hands of the other party. In order to negotiate to his advantage, he began to create an atmosphere step by step before Roshir and his son arrived on the court. The rhythm is in your own hands. Charles Rohill is also an old gang, and he naturally noticed Xia Yu''s movements. He already knew who Xia Yu was. This time he came to leave a good impression on Xia Yu and pave the way for his short-term and long-term goals, so he pretended not to notice. Charles Rohill said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I have an appointment with you, in fact, I mainly want to get to know you." "We also think that the Land Group is undervalued, so we made a plan to acquire the Land Group. We originally had no plans to sell the shares of the Land Group." "Who knows that the Land Group is so attractive, not only for us, but also for you, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and you have opened a huge gap with us, making our company''s acquisition plan cast over There was a shadow, just as Mr. Wang Qi sent us an acquisition request, I plan to meet with you before deciding what to do." Hearing this, Xia Yu sneered in his heart with the sincere expression of Charles Rosier. He could judge that what Charles Rosier said was to increase his dominant position. It is true. nothing! What he said is nothing more than raising the initiative and increasing the bargaining chip for the following formal negotiations. But Xia Yu will not let him get what he wants. "Oh? Mr. Charles, this surprised me too much. I always thought that Rockhill & Sons Co., Ltd. only engages in mergers and acquisitions consulting and investment. When did your company start up the management business?" Xia Yu asked suspiciously, but the playful smile on his face and Noyu tone reminded Charles Rohill that I am not stupid, you can''t deceive me. But many times, people just pretend to be confused. Anyway, as long as there is no evidence, Charles Rohill seems to be unaware, and said with a smile: "The company has just adjusted its strategic positioning, and the Land Group is a new business. Test the water target, but unfortunately, it is obvious that when we met you, our strategy was in trouble." "Mr. Charles, you are too high on me. There is still some time before the winner is determined. Your company may wish to continue. Maybe the Land Group will belong to you in the end." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he held up his teacup and took a sip of heat. Xia Yu¡¯s attitude caused Sean Rosier to frown, ignoring his father¡¯s command to tell him to say less, read more and think about it when he came, and directly interrupted and said, ¡°Mr. Xia, it turns out that you have such a bad attitude in asking for help. We¡¯ll still see you in the mall, I think you will see surprises." Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, looked at Sean Rosier with a meaningful smile, and said, "Then I am looking forward to it!" Charles Rohill frowned slightly, and gave his son a reminding look to stop him from speaking. The son was still too young to hold his breath was stimulated by Xia Yu, and he interrupted, not only did he not Taking advantage of it, on the contrary broke the favorable situation that he had managed to maintain. He didn''t come to conflict with Xia Yu! Charles Rohill sighed secretly, knowing that playing with Xia Yu was useless. He knows the family''s plan. It is a long-term task that takes time and effort to calculate Xia Yu who is highly vigilant and full of thorns. The first is to lower Xia Yu''s vigilance. It is best to become a good friend with him, and slowly intervene in his career from the perspective of helping him. Finally, when Xia Yu loses his vigilance, find the right opportunity to kill him and take his career. . In the years since the rise of the Roshir family, I have encountered many people similar to Xia Yu, but in the end they did not die out one by one, and became the nourishment for the rise of the Roshir family. Only this time, the Roshir family is doomed to miscalculate, because what they calculated is a rebirth who knows them thoroughly and clearly knows their vicious nature. Charles Rohill said: "Mr. Xia, my son has been in a bad mood these past few days, and his thinking will inevitably go to extremes. Please forgive me." After ¡¡¡¡ apologized, the atmosphere eased, Xia Yu shook his head and smiled and said that he didn''t care. Then Charles Lowhill continued: "Mr. Xia, you have a great advantage. If you compete with you head-on, our chances of winning are not big. You Chinese have a word called''harmony makes money''. I like this word very much, so now I coming." "It is okay to transfer the equity to you, as long as your price is reasonable." v2 Chapter 636: Calculate each other Hearing what Charles Rohill said, Xia Yu smiled and nodded and asked, "Mr. Charles, then I don''t know what price you plan to sell?" "Mr. Xia, according to current trends, the price of Land Group will continue to rise in the future." Charles Rohill looked at Xia Yu and said, Xia Yu nodded in agreement with him. Many parties are scrambling to acquire the shares of the Land Group. As long as the outcome is uncertain and Xia Yu and others keep buying, the stock price of Land Group will continue to rise. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s approval, Charles Rohill continued: ¡°So the invisible value must be considered. You can¡¯t let us suffer. As long as you have a 50% premium, all of our equity can be transferred to you.¡± As soon as Charles Rohill¡¯s voice fell, Xia Yu¡¯s decisive voice sounded: ¡°Impossible, you are slaughtering the wrongdoer. If it¡¯s the price, then I don¡¯t think we need to talk about it today. Keep it." Sitting next to Xia Yu, Wang Qi also said with a cold face: "Mr. Charles, you have miscalculated the situation. Now the majority of the shares in the Land Group are in our Chinese hands. As long as we join forces with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, The competition for Land Group will stop directly, and the stock price will stop rising!" "Moreover, your 8.5% of the equity will also get a seat on the board of directors, which will not affect us." Xia Yu took a sip of tea with a blank face, and said quietly, "Mr. Charles, the stock price of Land Group no longer represents much. You should know that the stock of Land Group is almost concentrated in the hands of a few people." "But you are right, and we won''t let you lose out. Today''s stock price has risen by about 8% compared to yesterday. Then I will buy your shares at today''s stock price. This is our bottom line!" "You have made nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars in profit in one day. It''s time to be content!" Charles Rohill shook his head and refused: "Mr. Xia, your price is too low. We also bought it at a high premium, but in order to celebrate our meeting today, I can appropriately lower the price. The minimum premium is 45%... " "¡­¡­" Next, the two sides bargained, and all four of them joined in. The negotiations were fierce. Although Rohill and his son hold the equity Xia Yu wants and seem to have the initiative, Xia Yu is now the largest shareholder and wears the same pants as Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang. It is the biggest threat to Rohill and his son. Their hypothetical prospect of a rise in the stock price of Land Group is nothing more than that someone will continue to fight and raise the stock price. But if Xia Yu, Bao Yugang, and Huo Yingdong all stop buying stocks, they will be left with them, and the stock price will be difficult to raise. And they just talked in front of Xia Yu, how could it be possible to buy Land Group? If Xia Yu and the others are annoyed, they will try to make the group lose their position, and the stock price will fall, which may cause them to liquidate their positions. After all, they acquired equity, but they used ten times the leverage. Don''t lose the money when the time comes, because he has not completed the family mission and offended Xia Yu. It is precisely because of these concerns that the tone of Charles Rohill and his son is not very hard when negotiating. So after some negotiations, the bottom line of both sides kept getting closer. at last! Charles Rohill said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, a 22% premium is not impossible, but we have additional conditions. As long as you agree, we can sign the contract today." Xia Yu''s heart shuddered, and the secret path finally came. Without changing his face, he made a gesture of listening, and said, "Please tell!" Charles Rohill did not immediately say, but talked about a topic that has nothing to do with the negotiation, and asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you should be familiar with our company, right?" Xia Yu nodded and said lightly: "Well, I have a certain understanding." Charles Lowhill continued: ¡°It¡¯s not that we boast. Corporate M&A consulting is our company¡¯s gold medal business. We are very good at the whole process from acquisition to integration, and strategic positioning advice. Even HSBC can¡¯t match it. we." "You may not know, I went to the mainland some time ago to reform the mainland''s railway system and hired our company as a special consultant to give them full guidance." Xia Yu continued to nod, but did not speak this time. Charles Rohill said that he was very clear that corporate mergers and acquisitions relied heavily on contacts and professional teams. In these two areas, the Rohill family is top-notch. HSBC also benefited from the particularity of the bank, owning most of the shares of HeungKong companies, and was able to obtain M&A orders from many companies. But from a professional point of view, HSBC is inferior to Rohill & Sons Ltd. And in some respects, HSBC is even more unbeatable. Apart from anything else, it is just a deterrent. The Lowhill family¡¯s deterrence against the Keswick family is definitely higher than that of HSBC. Furthermore, Xia Yu dared to pack a vote. The Rohill family absolutely holds a part of the shares of HSBC Holdings. It is not clear how much, but the Rohill family can use HSBC''s contacts and influence. "Mr. Xia, although my condition is a condition, it is also good for you. It can be said to be a win-win situation." Charles Rohill said that, if Xia Yu still can''t guess, he should kill him with a piece of tofu. According to the flesh and blood, Charles Rohill finally stated the conditions: "I hope to become a strategic partnership with you. In the future, if your company has a need for mergers and acquisitions, you will hand over the business to us, and our company will do our best to help. You are done." After speaking, Charles Rohill looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, looking forward to his reply. Xia Yu leaned forward on the table with his arms folded and elbows, and solemnly said: "Mr. Charles, I can only agree to part of your conditions." "No one knows what will happen in the future. Your company has a great influence in Hong Kong. It does not mean that it has top influence in the world. I cannot give you all the mergers and acquisitions. This is not responsible for me. Responsible behavior." "I will give you priority at most, especially in Xiangjiang. If there is a need for mergers and acquisitions, I will contact you first. As long as you can meet my requirements, the business is yours." "For example, if we have reached a cooperation, then I will entrust your company to help me acquire the remaining shares of the Keswick Family Land Group." "This is my bottom line!" At the end, Xia Yu and Charles Rohill looked at each other with firmness. It took a long time before Charles Rohill looked back and smiled and said, "I didn''t think about it well. Your request is more reasonable. Just do what you said." "Then, happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" Xia Yu got up and shook hands with Charles Rohill, who also got up, and the two said one after another. After that, they discussed the details on the spot, and at the same time, Sean Rohill and Wang Qi took the phone in the room to inform the staff to prepare materials to come over It was busy until more than six o''clock before the two parties signed the contract, and they met for a deal the next day . Seeing that it was late, Xia Yu directly arranged for the hotel to prepare a sumptuous dinner and gave Lohill and his son a warm welcome. Until around nine o''clock in the evening, Rohill and his son and others left. After they left, Xia Yu, who had originally seemed a little confused, immediately became sober, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Rohill and his son calculated him, but he pretended not to notice. Although the contract was so signed, how could Xia Yu hand over all the acquisition business to them. is to use them selectively. The Rohill family wants to intervene and even infiltrate his company. They can only say that they think too much. If Xia Yu''s future company is listed, Rothschild & Sons Co., Ltd. will definitely become an underwriter based on friendship, and will get a part of the shares at that time, maybe it will be eaten away at some point. But Xia Yu, who has already taken precautions, is not stupid, so he will wait and see in the future to see who is better! Furthermore, what Charles Rohill said is correct, and it is really good for him to cooperate with them. Xia Yu now has the ability to protect himself. Using the Rohill family can accelerate his rise. As for the risks involved, it varies from person to person. In short, Xia Yu has the confidence to be able to deal with it! There is a good saying, the sugar-coated cannonballs that the enemy hits, eat the sugar-coated, and the cannonballs just hit them back. Let''s go, let''s see! v2 Chapter 637: 200 million yuan in copyright fees The next day, the sky was clear. Xia Yu continued to go through the process with Rohill and his son, and finally bought 8.5% of the shares of the Land Group at a cost of 660 million Hong Kong dollars. At this point, Xia Yu''s equity in the Land Group directly exceeded 40%, reaching 42.3%, which is one step closer to the final success. After the completion of the transaction, Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. proceeded to acquire the remaining equity in the Keswick family. Now that he knew the plans of the Keswick family, Xia Yu of course ordered Wang Qi not to contact each other, and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong would not move the Keswick family¡¯s equity. This means that as long as no one rushes in again, no one will compete with Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd., and Phil Keswick¡¯s wishful thinking to reap the benefits of the fisherman will fail. As you can imagine, this will definitely save Xia Yu a lot of money. When he sent Rohill and his son away, Xia Yu stopped Huo Jianning, took out several carefully made game plans, and asked him to register patents immediately and build a team based on these games. After returning, Huo Jianning, who has a deep understanding of the game, read these game plans and was shocked by the chairman Xia Yu. He immediately increased his confidence and enthusiastically speeded up the construction work of Tiangong Electronics. In the next few days, Xia Yu went to various companies to make public and secret visits to learn more about the actual situation of each company. Xia Yu''s mind about each company was refreshed. For example, Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd. Gavin Peter was very passionate about acquisitions, especially when Xia Yu told him in the UK that he wanted him to acquire the Guinness Book of World Records, Gavin Peter went all out. At this time, the Guinness Book of World Records Company has been acquired and became a wholly-owned overseas subsidiary. Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd. relied on it to successfully raise the banner in the UK. And Gavin Peter was deeply influenced by Xia Yu and made great progress in marketing mind. He even cooperated with Universal Television to prepare to launch a Guinness World Record challenge program called "Challenge Guinness." Xia Yu seemed to have a sense of familiarity at first glance. After a little recollection, he remembered that later CCTV had a program of this nature called "Guinness of China Night", and the ratings and influence were still impressive. Therefore, Xia Yu put forward some powerful suggestions to let them avoid detours and encourage him to continue to carry forward. In addition to Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd., other companies have made considerable progress and development. The number of accounts and deposits of Jiuding Bank has been rising all the way, and it has already obtained bank access licenses in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is preparing to establish the first branch in various countries and is also the head office of Jiuding Bank in various countries. Global Cinemas has established a firm foothold, relying on the box office sharing model, and has been sought after by film companies. After the initial run-in, Jiang Zhiqiang has mastered the skill of using the market to discover good movies, and has a million box office Nine films were discovered, and one of them reached a box office of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which made a lot of small and medium film companies crazy. And in the past few months, with the support of Jiuding Bank, Jiang Zhiqiang launched a gold-dollar offensive in Southeast Asia. Before the Shao¡¯s obstruction, he bought one in Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Large theaters. These four theater lines add up, the total number of theaters has reached forty-eight. In Singapore, Jiang Zhiqiang also bought three large movie theaters. The result of this battle, which was named by Jiang Xieqiang as the "Cinema Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor", was extremely gratifying. In more than two months, 51 theaters were won. Although it cost more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, it was seen in Xia Yu. Everything is worth it. This action has given the Global Cinemas a firm foothold in Southeast Asia and has the qualifications to break their wrists with the Shaw Cinemas. But if you want to defeat the Shaw Cinemas, which has been run by the Shao family for more than 30 years, there is still some way to go. After all, the Shaw Cinemas in Southeast Asia have as many as 130 directly operated by the Shao family alone, plus more than 200 franchise theaters. The strength of the Global Cinemas at this time is equivalent to between one-third and a quarter of the Shaw Cinemas. But now because of the film-sharing system and the large-scale production of many films by the Galaxy Film Company, the global cinema chain has solved the biggest shortcoming of film sources. Regarding the competition with the Shaw Cinemas, Jiang Xieqiang is completely worthwhile. Anyway, he has the support of the chairman''s treasury. His goal is to always acquire theaters, surpassing Shaw Cinemas in the number of seats and screens, and at the same time transform the theaters that have been acquired. The Southeast Asia cinema line renovation project will be taken over by Jiuding Infrastructure Construction Company. One of its predecessors, Kinmen Construction, has a large foundation in Southeast Asia. For Jiuding Infrastructure¡¯s branches in various countries, the renovation of the cinema line is completely insignificant. If the project were not directly ordered by the parent company of Xiangjiang, the branches of various countries might not have the energy to undertake it. As for Universal Television, it ushered in a big explosion. The TVB station, which was originally suppressed by Universal Television, is out of breath. Now, on the basis of optimizing the original TV programs, it has released the film "Universal Film Report" and the music "Golden Songs" and other programs. It has greatly enriched the entertainment life of citizens and has been sought after by the audience. Among them, the "Universal Film Report" column is Xia Yu''s trump card program that copied the CCTV movie channel of later generations. And "Golden Songs" was a trump card program produced by TVB two years later, which was made by Xia Yu in advance. Fortunately, Shao Yifu was inspired by the "Universal Film Report" to use the huge library of Shaw Brothers movies, cut off two programs that were severely impacted by Universal Television, and broadcast an old movie at a fixed time every day, attracting a part of the audience. Finally came up with a bright spot. However, this bright spot can only provide TVB with a respite. It is impossible to make a comeback! After all, Huang Xizhao is also not for dry food. He sent people to buy the old film rights of other film companies except Shaw Brothers and Jiahe. The focus is on Taiwan Province, and there has been a lot of progress. As long as the old film library of the major film companies in Taiwan Province is taken, Universal Television Station can also open up another program to broadcast old movies to compete head-on with TVB. At this time, in the minds of Xiangjiang citizens, they have successfully shaped the entertainment attributes for Universal Television, from TV dramas to variety shows, from music to animation Universal Television has achieved audience coverage for all ages. In addition to these, the revenue of Universal Television has exploded directly, thanks to the "Millionaire" program that is popular in Hong Kong. Not only Southeast Asian countries, but also large TV stations in Europe and the United States such as the United Kingdom, the United States and other European countries have purchased production copyright licenses. After obtaining the approval of Chairman Xia Yu, Huang Xizhao sold a high price under a deliberately created competition. Universal Television alone sold the production license for 100 episodes and earned 230 million Hong Kong dollars. It sold 30 million Hong Kong dollars to the British BBC. Thanks to the huge population of the United States, the selling price to the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) was the highest, reaching 130 million Hong Kong dollars, an average of 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars per episode. Even so, the TV station that bought the copyright can still make a lot of money. Xia Yu knows that the net profit of the next generation ABC on the "Millionaire" program can reach 1.5 million yuan. Between two million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 6.9 million to 9.2 million Hong Kong dollars. Universal TV only collected 1.3 million per episode, which is less than one-fifth, which is less. Holding a capital of more than two billion yuan, Huang Xizhao''s heart swelled sharply, speeding up the basic investment of Universal Television and speeding up the construction of Universal Studios. At the same time, he also meticulously wrote a plan and submitted it to Xia Yu for approval. At this time, Xia Yu is looking at the plan in the office of the chairman of Universal Television, and the director of the TV station, Huang Xizhao, who is high in the eyes of the TV station employees, is waiting respectfully and waiting for Xia Yu''s comments. v2 Chapter 638: Encircle and suppress TVB At the beginning, Xia Yu still looked at the material written by Huang Xi with a casual mind, but as he continued to look down, Xia Yu''s attitude quietly changed and it has become an attitude of scrutiny. In other words, this material of Huang Xizhao made Xia Yu take it seriously! "Sha Sha Sha..." Time passed by minute by minute, and more and more information was absorbed by Xia Yu. Huang Xizhao¡¯s plan is about his suggestions for the future development of Universal Television. There are two plans in total. The first plan was to acquire Longman Television. Including the detailed information of Longmen TV, the specific operational methods of the acquisition, the development policy after the acquisition, and the benefits to Universal TV. After Xia Yu watched it, he was sure that Huang Xizhao was really working on this plan. According to the materials, the equity of Longmen TV is divided into three parts at this time, of which the Longmen government holds 43%, the Hexian family, one of Longmen Shuanghe, holds 32%, and the last is the gambling king He Hong, who holds 25 shares. %. In Omen, there are two Ho families. Outsiders call them Omen Shuang Ho. Outsiders may think that the gambling king He Hong is more powerful, but in fact it is not. The Hexian family is more influential and powerful. Gambling King He Hong is an offshoot of the He family of Xiangjiang, after all, he came to Omen to open his own branches and stand on his own. Most of his influence lies in the middle and lower classes of society, and his prefix is ??"Gambling King". Youdao only takes the wrong name and doesn¡¯t call the wrong nickname. From the nickname "Gambling King", you can tell which part of He Hong''s influence lies. And the Hexian family is different, the reputation is restrained but deep, ordinary people know them less, but people in Hong Kong and Macau know that if the Omen selects an Omen king, then the family must come first. Even the Cui family and Ma family, two of the three oldest families in Omen, are not as strong as the He family, the first of the three. He Xian himself, has always been a representative of the Omen Chinese, and has been the chairman of the Omen Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is a manifestation of commercial strength. After the return of Omen in later generations, the first chief executive was from the He family. You must know that at that critical period, in order to ensure stability after Omen¡¯s return, the position of chief executive is not something ordinary people can do. Only those who are able to hold the Omen can go up. Speaking of which, why Huang Xizhao thought of acquiring Longmen TV is because Longmen TV has been losing money and has never made a profit. The Longmen government is dissatisfied with the situation of Longmen TV and will not reject the acquisition of Longmen TV. There will be such a situation, and we have to start with the special circumstances of Omen and the birth of Omen TV. Omen¡¯s population is about one-tenth that of Xiangjiang, and its land area is only one-thirtieth that of Xiangjiang. It is conceivable that with such a small population base, one can barely support a TV station. And there must be a prerequisite, that is, the residents of Omen watch the programs of Omen TV. But the reality is cruel. It¡¯s just because the people in Omen have been watching Hong Kong¡¯s TV programs from very early on, and the Omen people have become accustomed to it. The Hong Kong government and the helms of several television stations in Hong Kong are also eager to do so. But over time, the Old Town government feels that this is not enough. One is that it involves the face of the government, and the other is that there is no representative TV station in a region to promote the government''s policies. Therefore, the Longmen government intends to establish a television station. But the Old Town government knows itself that this TV station is a thankless face project, but it has to be done. What should I do? Of course, I was looking for someone. The government issued a license to allow capable people to operate it. In this way, the Omen government found two He families. The He Xian family has a huge influence in the political field and a strong influence in the middle and upper classes. The gambling king, He Hong, has a great reputation in the middle and lower classes. He is also very rich and has a demand for running a TV station. The three parties quickly negotiated and established the Longmen TV station. The Longmen government did not interfere in the operation, and left the operation rights to Shuanghe to decide. But neither He Hong nor He Xian¡¯s family had any experience in running a TV station. The two wanted to seek help from Xiangjiang¡¯s TV station, but they were enemies, and no TV station was willing to help. After all, there is no TV station in Omen, and Omen¡¯s cake is theirs. Now Omen TV station has come out, and it is clear to rush to eat with them, and because Xiangjiang¡¯s communication network is connected to Omen¡¯s, Xiangjiang¡¯s TV signal covers Omen. , Omen¡¯s TV signal also completely covers Xiangjiang. This means that if one day Omen TV station really rises, it will not only drive them out of Omen, but also rush to Xiangjiang to grab food with them. Considering these circumstances, Lijia, one of the four major families of Heung Kong, who is still at the helm of the TVB, united with other TV stations, and everyone reached an agreement in private to resist. Under such circumstances, the Longman TV station naturally cannot be established and perfected, but the TV station cannot be delayed. There is no way. In order to fill in the program and make the TV station launch smoothly, Longman TV can only purchase TV series from major TV stations in Hong Kong. Because of the incomplete functions, up to now, all the staff of Longmen TV station add up to less than 70 people, even less than one-tenth of the number of Global TV station. Do you dare to imagine that this is a full set of people in a TV station? Television stations that are fundamentally profitable rely on purchases. They broadcast TV dramas that others have already let off. They themselves have to face the competition from several major television stations in Hong Kong, which has led to long-term losses. Fortunately, Shuang He is the big boss of the big bosses, and the annual loss of Omen TV is not in their eyes. Furthermore, because helping the Longmen government to operate the television station caused losses, the Longmen government has long compensated both parties in terms of land or policies, and the loss is not worth mentioning in the face of compensation. From this we can see that the Old Town TV station, whether it is to the Old Town government, the Hexian family, or the He family, is a tasteless one. The only reason it can survive the bankruptcy is that it concerns the face of the Old Town government. , The Omen government does not allow Omen TV to go bankrupt. Huang Xizhao analyzed in the plan that as long as the Longmen TV station does not go bankrupt, the Longmen government may not care who is operating it. If an acquisition application is submitted, there is a great possibility of acquisition. And Huang Xizhao also analyzed Xia Yu''s influence With Xia Yu''s prestige and strength, if he proposes to buy equity from Omen Shuanghe, I believe Shuanghe will not refuse, which can guarantee the acquisition of Austrian A controlling stake in the door TV station. Then, persuade the Longmen government to agree to Universal Television to take over the operation and buy the equity, and the dust will settle. If Longmen TV is a chicken rib for the current three shareholders, it is a very tempting fat for Universal TV. As long as the long-term TV station is won, then the staff of the Universal TV station can be divided into a small part, which is equivalent to a set of people operating two TV stations. And as long as Longmen TV and Universal TV become a family, the purchase cost of TV dramas will disappear, and Longmen TV can instantly reverse its losses and achieve profitability. And the program resources of Universal Television Station can''t be used up at all by themselves, and it is completely possible to make Longmen Television Station unique. Taking into account that Longmen TV¡¯s signal covers all of Longmen and Xiangjiang, once Longmen TV is built, it will work with Universal TV to encircle and suppress TVB. TVB will never come back and can only be suppressed. In the corner, Hong Kong and Macau will be Xia Yu''s world. I have to say, after reading the first plan, Xia Yu was tempted. The first plan made Xia Yu look at Huang Xizhao differently, and the second plan did not disappoint him either. Ps: On the last day, the vote was wasted if you didn''t vote, thank you! Recommend the new book of City God Lao Shi: v2 Chapter 639: Trillion market The second plan was actually proposed by Xia Yu before, but Huang Xizhao turned Xia Yu''s suspended oral plan into a practical document plan. That is the launch of satellites belonging to Universal Television, making Universal Television the first satellite TV in Hong Kong and even Asia. Huang Xizhao''s plan is to investigate the current situation of satellite TV in the world. The facts show that the existing technology is enough for Universal Television to rise. Because in 1975, the American Radio Corporation launched the geostationary satellite "Communication Satellite No. 1", and by 1976, the three giants in the American television broadcasting industry had established a national satellite broadcasting network. Now, there are five large-scale broadcasting networks in the United States broadcasting through satellites at specific times or 24 hours a day. So in terms of technology, the requirements have been met. The key is to find a communications satellite company in the United States to place an order for it to launch communications satellites for Universal Television. There is no difficulty in this, as long as the money is enough. After all, there is no saying that business secrets and military secrets are leaked. Universal Television does not have the ability to dismantle communication satellites for research, and Xia Yu also knows that the satellite launch company will definitely retain ultimate control. back door. The plan also talked about the benefits of Global TV¡¯s promotion to Global Satellite TV, and Xia Yu skipped it after watching only part of it. In this world, is there anyone who knows the advantages and benefits of satellite TV better than him? As long as a communication satellite is launched, the TV signal is enough to cover the entire Asia. As long as three synchronous communication satellites are launched, communication signals can be covered all over the world! Even if the East Asia in the northern part of Xiangjiang River does not matter, the number of Chinese in Southeast Asia alone exceeds 30 million, and the living standards of these Chinese are generally higher in the local area, and they are fully capable of buying satellite signal receiving converters, which are commonly known as "small" Pot head". I believe that as long as they understand the value of Global Satellite TV, many Chinese will not hesitate to spend some money to install satellite signal receivers. In addition, Global Satellite TV can also operate an international English channel. There are tens of millions of people who can speak English in Asia. If India is added, the number will be even greater. These are potential customers. As long as Universal TV becomes the first satellite TV in Asia, it will eat alone. When the following TV stations are upgraded, they will only find that most of the cake has been eaten by Universal TV. Xia Yu still remembers that, with the exception of island countries, the development of satellite TV in Asian countries was in the 1990s or later, including CCTV, while the TVB station seemed to be close to the year 2000. If Universal TV becomes a star this year and TVB will follow its original history, then there will be a twenty-year gap between Global TV and TVB, and TVB will never turn back. Of course, Xia Yu at this time has already ignored the TVB station, let alone after the star, and by then the target will only be the entire Southeast Asia and even Asia. After closing the plan, Xia Yu looked at Huang Xizhao, and then smiled and praised: "Xizhao, not bad, has a big picture, and has executive power, well written!" Hearing this, Huang Xizhao knew that the boss had agreed. He was overjoyed, but he did not forget to be humble, and said humbly, "Thank you for the praise, the chairman!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and said, "Wait a minute." After speaking, he picked up his pen and wrote on the plan based on his memory. In his opinion, this plan is very good, but there are still some areas for improvement. About ten minutes later, Xia Yu stopped writing and returned the plan to Huang Xizhao. "According to my revised plan, I will immediately place an order with the communications satellite company in the United States. As soon as they receive the order, they will immediately prepare a global international Chinese channel, an international English channel, and open another entertainment channel. Some two channels, five channels are all starred." Xia Yu ordered. "Yes!" Huang Xizhao responded loudly, full of motivation in her heart, and she wanted to act immediately. However, he thought of another question, hesitated for a moment and raised it: "Chairman, if viewers in Southeast Asian countries want to watch our TV after our TV station is launched, they need satellite signal receiver converters. I have asked them to investigate. Now There is no such thing in all of Asia. Only the United States sells it. How to solve this? Should we buy and sell it ourselves?" Xia Yu nodded slightly, thinking about it. He knows about satellite signal receivers. He installed them in his previous life. At that time, the package and installation cost only one hundred and eighty yuan. The whole device consists of a parabolic antenna, a feed, a tuner, and a satellite receiver. In Xia Yu''s view, the technical content of satellite signal receivers is not high. But in this era, it can be regarded as something with a certain technological content. Huang Xizhao''s difficulty, Xia Yu is very clear. In this matter, there are no civilian satellite signal receivers in Asia. After all, there are no satellite TVs. Would you buy satellite signal receivers? But if there is satellite TV, the market for satellite signal receivers will be opened, and the market prospects are good. Xia Yu is not clear about the current price of satellite signal receivers, but even if each sells for 300 Hong Kong dollars, the potential market for the Chinese alone is 9 billion Hong Kong dollars. With the addition of English-speaking people, the market capacity can reach 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Xiangjiang''s film and television market is enough to give it shoes. Such a large emerging market Why give up profits to American companies? Xia Yu immediately decided to produce and sell satellite signal receivers on his own and eat this cake. Moreover, after he acquired the Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Co., Ltd., he originally spun off a Jiuding Electrical Appliances retail company. It is completely possible for Jiuding Electrical Appliances Retail to enter Southeast Asia. Relying on the unique business of satellite signal receivers, he quickly opened up the situation in Southeast Asia and established itself firmly. heel. After selling the satellite signal receiver, you can also collect annual fees like later generations of radio and television. The annual fee is two to three hundred, and out of thin air, there is an emerging market with tens of billions of potential, and 100% can be eaten by Global TV. . When someone comes in later, then give up the annual fee, switch to free satellite TV, or join in with the latecomers, continue to charge, in short, it is correct to maximize the benefits, and how to implement it, we will see when the time comes. Thinking of this, Xia Yu''s heart moved. Now that the satellite signal receivers are ready to be manufactured, he simply enters the field of home appliance manufacturing, including TVs. It doesn¡¯t matter if it can¡¯t keep up with the launch of Global Satellite TV. He is interested in the entire Southeast Asia and mainland market. Now a Hitachi 24-inch TV sells for more than 3,000 yuan. The mainland plus Southeast Asia has a population of more than one billion people. This potential market Go directly to the trillions. The mature market that has been developed has exceeded 100 billion! The market is so big, do you still have to hesitate? It''s done! PS: It''s been more than five hours in the last five hours, ask for a ticket, and there will be updates in the evening. v2 Chapter 640: earned a lot Tiangong Group was registered for the manufacturing industry. Now that a subsidiary of Tiangong Electronics has been established, it might as well establish another Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company. Anyway, he has money and used money to clear the way, and there are not many problems in establishing Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company. Xia Yu remembered that I did not see well-known local electrical appliances brands in Xiangjiang. The TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other home appliances sold on the market are available in German, American, island and British products, but mainly island products. As for whether there is an electrical appliance manufacturing agent factory in Xiangjiang, it will be clear after investigation. Xia Yu vaguely remembers where he had seen an electrical appliance manufacturing agent factory in Xiangjiang. However, Xia Yu hopes that Xiangjiang will have an electrical manufacturing agent factory, so that he can directly purchase and have a complete team. As long as he is equipped with a professional marketing team, he can update or add production lines to produce his own brand at the fastest speed. Electrical appliances. Considering that these are all manufacturing issues, Xia Yu does not plan to talk to Huang Xizhao in detail. He said to Huang Xizhao: "Xizhao, I will solve the problem you mentioned. You only need to implement this plan. If you have any difficulties, tell me the first time." "Understand!" Since the chairman will take care of it, Huang Xizhao naturally felt relieved, and then left with high spirits. After ¡¡¡¡ went back, Xia Yu immediately sent someone to find out the situation in the field of Xiangjiang Electric Manufacturing. were disturbed, time passed day by day, Xia Yu continued to deal with the affairs of various companies, and his life was very fulfilling. ¡­¡­ Cheung Kong Industrial Group. Bao Yugang came to Li Jiacheng¡¯s reception room to sit down under Li Jiacheng¡¯s warm reception. After taking a sip of tea, Bao Yugang sighed lightly, looked at Li Jiacheng and said, "Li Sheng, I''m here to interrupt this time, you should have guessed my purpose." "There are some eyebrows." Li Jiacheng smiled and nodded, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, not intending to take the initiative to mention it. "We are all old friends. You also know the character of my old bag, so I will not hide it. I came here this time to ask you for a favor and sell me the shares of the Land Group." Bao Yugang smiled, and said solemnly. Li Jiacheng was silent for a while, staring at Bao Yugang, and slowly said, "Bao Sheng, let¡¯s tell you, when the news broke some time ago, I was also tempted. I wanted to take more equity in the Land Group. It¡¯s a pity that I learned that the Land Group had changed before I was ready, and I had to give up the plan sadly." "Now I am out of the game, the news is lagging behind, and watching the battle is in the cloud, I wonder if you can help me?" Hearing this, Bao Yugang knew that Li Jiacheng was not too resistant to selling the equity, and he was confident that Li Jiacheng would sell, so he smiled calmly, "Of course it¡¯s okay, please tell me." Li Jiacheng smiled and asked: "I have three questions, the first one, what is the sacred light fund?" "The second one, with so many Chinese shareholders, how many are left?" "The third one, are you buying equity for yourself, or for Huo Yingdong or Bright Fund?" After ¡¡¡¡ asked, Li Jiacheng looked at Bao Yugang with scorching eyes. "I can answer most of these questions." After finishing, Bao Yugang sorted out his thoughts and continued: "I know the background of the Bright Fund, but for some reasons, it is not convenient for me to disclose, but there is one thing I can tell you that the Bright Fund is our Chinese." "Second question, as far as I know, there are not many Chinese shareholders now. He Hongshen, He''s family, and Hu''s equity have all been bought by me. Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong''s equity have been bought by Huo Yingdong After leaving, the remaining Chinese shareholders are you, me, Huo Yingdong and Guo Desheng." "The third question, I bought the shares of Land Group for myself." "I don''t know these answers, is Li Sheng satisfied?" Thinking Li Jiacheng nodded and didn''t speak, his brain quickly analyzed the information. Bao Yugang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, waiting for Li Jiacheng''s final answer. "Who is the Bright Fund?" Suddenly, Li Jiacheng asked, still looking east. Bao Yugang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and did not answer him. But if Li Jiacheng is not sure at this time, it would have been so many years in vain. It really is him again! He looked at Bao Yugang and said in an enviable tone: "That''s right, there is no one but the one who can easily subdue the Keswick family in Xiangjiang and break the iron bucket of the Land Group. Congratulations on getting rich, Baosheng." "Since you came here, if I don''t sell it to you, it will appear that I can''t be a human being." Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Li Sheng, thank you very much!" "According to today''s stock price, a three-tier premium, I wonder if it is possible?" 30% premium, it can be said to be full of sincerity. Li Jiacheng is not a person who does not know good and bad. He smiled and responded: "Bao Sheng is really big, then I will accept it with a shame." "It should be, thanks!" After the talk, the two parties quickly signed the contract. Bao Yugang had already prepared the funds and completed the transaction on the same day. At this point, Bao Yugang''s four goals have all been settled. As for Huo Yingdong, with one less than Bao Yugang, he also completed the acquisition of three Chinese shareholders. At this time, Phil Keswick, who was waiting for no new buyer, was disappointed. After Dick Keswick, he finally sold 8.4% of his equity to Rohill and his sons. the company. Charles Rohill contacted Xia Yu as soon as possible to transfer the shares that had not yet been covered. Cumulative 20.6% equity, the transfer price is 1.48 billion Hong Kong dollars. So far, the shareholding of Land Group has become Xia Yu holding 62.9%, Bao Yugang holding 18.6%, Huo Yingdong holding 16%, and the remaining 2.5% of the shares are scattered outside. At this time, Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong sent people to take over the Land Group and applied to the exchange for delisting. The privatization of public stocks was handed over to Jiuding Securities. Xia Yu and other three companies collectively hold 92.5% of the shares, and the management of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange directly approved it after knowing that it could not be blocked. In just three days, all the few stocks scattered outside were recovered. Xia Yu¡¯s standard accounting firm, as well as accountants sent by Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang, formed a liquidation team to verify the assets of the entire Land Group. Liquidation to prepare for the next asset split. Throughout the whole process, Xia Yu acquired 62.9% of the shares of the Land Group. After a lot of calculations and twists and turns, fortunately, it finally succeeded. And the whole process, Xia Yu spent a total of 4.386 billion Hong Kong dollars. In Xia Yu''s view Even if we only look at the next few years, the Hong Kong stock market will skyrocket to 1,800 points, and land prices will continue to rise. By 1981, the value of the assets of the Land Group rose to 30 to 40 billion. No problem at all. Xia Yu¡¯s 62.9% equity can be divided into assets worth more than 20 billion. It only spent more than four billion Hong Kong dollars at this time and made a lot of money! It is precisely because of the huge value of British-owned companies that the Chinese tycoons of Xiangjiang Omen and Southeast Asia are coveted. If it were not for their lack of strength, it would not be Xia Yu''s turn to eat! The earth-shattering change of the Land Group has caused a lot of discussions from the outside world, especially when the news of the involvement of the Bright Fund and Jiuding Property Group was exposed, public opinion directly exploded. Xia Yu¡¯s stock **** aura became more and more sacred, and the Jiuding Consortium became more powerful. Some newspapers once again turned up the news that happened last year, giving Xia Yu "sing praises" with large pages. Many reporters waited at the gate of Jiuding Building just for interviews. To Xia Yu. Xia Yu remained silent about this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong also kept silent, letting the outside world speculate, they got together and looked at the assets that were gradually liquidated, and began to split according to their own needs. At this time, Xia Yu ordered his subordinates to investigate the situation of the Xiangjiang Electric Manufacturing foundry that was also presented to him. Looking at the information written on the investigation report, Xia Yu shook his head, dumbfounding. PS: The second one will be offered. At the end of the month, the monthly pass will be invalid if you don''t vote. () v2 Chapter 641: Nice guy It turned out to be another company in the hands of the Keswick family, and that is the Jardine Machine Group. To be precise, it is a subsidiary of the Jardine Machinery Group, named Jardine Electric Manufacturing Co., which specializes in OEM home appliances. It was established in 1975, and it has only been nearly four years old. However, thanks to the huge resources of the Jardine Consortium, the Jardine Electric Manufacturing Company has annexed or squeezed all other small and medium-sized foundries in just four years, and now it has occupied a hundred percent in the field of Xiangjiang Electric Appliance Manufacturing. More than 90/s of the market share. And the agent manufacturing plant of Jardine Electric Manufacturing Company not only manufactures TV sets, but also manufactures refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, range hoods, etc. It can be said that the field of large home appliances is basically complete. The other five wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Jardine Machinery Group have great influence in the sales of professional construction equipment, provision of construction services, construction technology and support services, railways and airports and other freight logistics hub systems and equipment sales and maintenance. force. can be said to be Xiangjiang''s leading company. Last year, the market value of the Jardine Machine Group was only about 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and John Keswick was blackmailed by Xia Yu, which forced the Jardine Machine Group''s market value to more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although the stock price fell in the future, when hunting the Jardine consortium, the Keswick family kept the Jardine Machine Group and completed the privatization. At this time, all the shares were distributed in the hands of five people including Bolton Keswick. Before Xia Yu was not strong enough, he targeted Wharf and Jardine Insurance and other companies, and ignored the Jardine Machinery Group, which was absolutely controlled by the Keswick family. But now, he is well-capitalized, and it''s easy to eat this company. As long as he eats the Jardine Machinery Group, he will have a monopoly leading company, which will play a strong supplementary role to his own Jiuding Real Estate Group, and will also be able to penetrate the basic transportation fields of Xiangjiang, such as stations and subways. And the airport. The most important thing is that he will own a complete electrical manufacturing plant. A large number of front-line workers who have been honed for four years, and the production lines of various electrical appliances that have only been used for up to four years, all show the solid foundation of Jardine Electric. After taking over the Jardine Electric Manufacturing Company, as long as the patent problem is solved, it will be able to design and develop its own brand of electrical appliances and quickly launch them into the market. No need to think about it, that''s it! It happened that the head of the Keswick family was beaten by him and wanted to go back to the UK. They can sell even the core Land Group, and they certainly don''t care about the Jardine Machine Group. The key is only the price is in place! Let Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. come forward, I believe it will be acquired soon! Do not! Can¡¯t put eggs in a basket! "It''s still like acquiring the equity of the Land Group. The equity in the hands of Bolton Keswick and others will be acquired by my side, and the equity of Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick will be handed over to Lowhill. Father and Son Ltd. acquisition." Xia Yu thought in his heart, this is a targeted response, which not only saves trouble, but also saves money! "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Jardine Consortium is really a giant that stretches its tentacles into every aspect of Xiangjiang. Even if it is divided, there are still such good things. It really is a huge treasure house. It can be found here." "Think about my current foundation, a large part of it is bitten from the Jardine Consortium, ha ha, without it, there would be no Jiuding Consortium, the Keswick family is really a good person!" After sighing, Xia Yu called to Wang Qi and ordered him to go to Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. on Hong Kong Island again. "Mr. Charles, I''m here to bother again!" As soon as I arrived at Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd., I happened to see Charles Rohill talking to a subordinate. After Charles Rohill saw Xia Yu, he immediately greeted Xia Yu with a smile and shook hands with Xia Yu. Greetings. "Mr. Xia, don''t disturb, you are welcome, please inside!" After that, Charles Rohill and Xia Yu went in together and went to the reception room to sit down. "Mr. Xia, I wonder if you are here today, is there anything for us to do?" Charles Rohill asked straight into the subject, without any muddle. Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the last time I entrusted your company to acquire the shares of the Land Group, the efficiency was very high. I am very satisfied, so this time I want to acquire a company and I will come here immediately." Charles Rohill smiled and said happily: "Thank you so much. If you have any needs, we will do our best to realize it for you!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and explained his intention: "This time the difficulty should not be great. The targets are the same as last time. They are Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick. I want the two of them to hold the Jardine Machine Group. Equity." "No problem, we can do it!" Hearing this, Charles Rohill did not hesitate to respond. When they acquired the equity of the Land Group some time ago, they figured out the actual situation of the Keswick family. Naturally, they knew that the Keswick family was going to retreat across the board, and the remaining company in their hands must be looking for a buyer. Since they intend to sell the company, the Keswick family would not dare not give him face as long as he was involved. Charles Rohill was 100% sure that he would be able to take the equity in their hands. Thinking of the special circumstances of the Keswick family, Charles Rohill felt in his heart and suddenly said, "Mr. Xia, I remember it seems that Bolton Keswick and others should also have shares? I don¡¯t know..." Xia Yu shook his head and smiled faintly: "I only need the equity in the hands of Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick at the moment Charles Rohill is clear in his heart, and decisively does not mention it anymore. On this topic, discuss the details of the entrusted acquisition with Xia Yu. An hour later, Charles Rohill sent Xia Yu out of the door with the entrustment contract. After watching him leave, his smile narrowed and his eyes were a little surprised. His son Sean Rohill said: "Father, it seems that he is on guard against us. He clearly wants to acquire the Jardine Machine Group, but only entrusts us to acquire a part." Charles Lowhill shook his head and said, "It''s not beware. If it were me, I would do the same. Burton Keswick and others can acquire the equity in his own hands. Why spend more money to let us come? " "Now that he can take the initiative to come over and entrust us to buy, it is already a very good performance, take your time." "The most important thing now is to complete the acquisition business he commissioned as perfectly as possible. As long as he is obsessed with this easy acquisition feeling, he will hand over more and more business to us in the future, and then the relationship will be deeper. Up." Sean Rohill nodded with a sinister smile: "I understand." "Get ready, follow me to the Keswick family in the afternoon." After Charles Rohill told his son, he turned and walked back. PS: Third, I ask for more votes! Recommend the new book of City God Lao Shi: v2 Chapter 642: 2 BMW On the evening of July 15th, Xia Yu received Bao Yugang¡¯s invitation and went to his house for dinner. When he arrived with Li Qian, Xia Yu found that Bao Yugang¡¯s daughter and son-in-law were all there, and Huo Yingdong also took his The youngest son Huo Zhenyu came, and a group of people were chatting in the living room lively. Seeing Xia Yu coming in, everyone immediately got up and welcomed each other enthusiastically. "It''s all here, it seems I''m late again, sin and sin." "Xia Yu, just waiting for you!" "You will have to drink a few more glasses to forgive you later, haha!" "Ms. Li is still as naked as ever!" "Mr. Xia, good evening!" Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong spoke very casually. On the contrary, Wu Guangzheng and Huo Zhenyu were slightly more restrained. Although they were both older than Xia Yu, their achievements were thrown to the horizon by Xia Yu. It''s also a year-end friendship between their respective fathers, and they can''t help but be informal. "Mr. Xia, please have tea!" "Thank you!" Xia Yu took the seat, took the tea from Bao Yugang''s daughter, smiled and thanked him. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, the liquidation is progressing very fast now, and it can be sorted out in four or five days at most. Are you ready?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and talked about the cooperation of the three. If it is a general relationship, it will definitely be clear when the company is liquidated. However, the relationship between Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong is not ordinary. We are all people with the universe in mind. For them, a little bit of marginal interest is not important. Therefore, the three people gave the liquidation team more instructions. The sooner the better. Therefore, compared with the normal asset liquidation process, the liquidation process of Land Group can be described as rapid. "I''ve been ready a long time ago, and my real estate company has a firm foothold this time." Bao Yugang said with a smile, very happy. After all, among the three, he finally entered the real estate industry and was considered a real estate recruit. If it hadn''t been for a few plots of land at the last land auction, his real estate company would be embarrassed to take them out. This time, the assets of the Land Group split with his 18.6% equity are definitely enough to expand the strength of his real estate company several times. Bao Yugang has long been looking forward to it! "I can''t wait, Xia Yu, this time I have a place in the top ten real estate companies in Hong Kong, right?" Huo Yingdong said jokingly, and Bao Yugang laughed as well. Xia Yu laughed and said, "That is necessary, if not, I will go back and ask the company to queue it up for you." "Xia Yu, Lao Huo wanted to go up so much, so he simply ranked him second." "Old Bao, you are too bad. It doesn''t matter if the credibility of Xia Yu''s "Economic Weekly" has been affected. The point is that morality is not matched. You have to see me embarrassed!" "Hahaha..." Huo Yingdong''s joke made everyone laugh. In the list of the top 500 companies published by Economic Weekly, each company is marked with its business field. There are more than 100 companies large and small in Xiangjiang. Although Huo Yingdong''s Lixin Real Estate has been engaged in the real estate industry very early, it has not been in the top ten in this field, not to mention Bao Yugang. Only Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Property Group ranks second in the HeungKong real estate industry, putting companies such as Swire Properties, Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock, New World, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Chinese Land under the pressure. But this time, after the industry leader, Land Group, is divided by three people, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Real Estate Group will win the crown of the real estate industry, and Fok Yingdong¡¯s Lixin Real Estate will be in the top ten after taking the next part. of. Even Bao Yugang''s real estate company can rush to between 11 and 15 in one fell swoop. "Mr. Xia, can I ask you something?" At this time, Huo Zhenyu took a deep breath and asked Xia Yu. Xia Yu was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Huo Yingdong, and saw the latter said: "Xia Yu, you are Zhenyu idol, you might as well give him advice for me. If you can learn one-tenth of your skills, I No regrets." Xia Yu smiled and said: "Who doesn''t know that the third son of the Huo family is talented and intelligent, Lao Huo, you can''t demean yourself as a father." After speaking, Xia Yu said to Huo Zhenyu: "I don''t dare to ask for advice, and communicate with each other." "Mr. Xia, you can always eat the British Group to death, you are..." ¡­¡­ Faced with Huo Zhenyu¡¯s various questions, Xia Yu¡¯s answers were spurred and analyzed from the perspective of the overall situation. Huo Zhenyu gained a lot. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong and others also listened carefully. After ¡¡¡¡, the people who asked questions were no longer limited to Huo Zhenyu. Wu Guangzheng, Bao Yugang and others also participated. Everyone chatted with gusto, until all the dishes were ready, they regretfully stopped the discussion. After drinking and eating, and drinking tea for about ten minutes, Bao Yugang suddenly proposed to take Xia Yu for a walk in the backyard. Xia Yu was a little puzzled, glanced at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and saw inexplicable smiles on their faces, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart, and he responded happily. Just walked to the backyard, Xia Yu keenly heard some different voices. "Hey, Old Bao, when did you raise two horses in your backyard?" Going a few steps further, Xia Yu heard the voice more clearly. Following the prestige, he suddenly found that Bao Yugang''s garage had been remodeled and had more fences. In the two fences, there were two majestic horses. The horse on the left is full of maroon red, with long mane draped, round back, strong but well-proportioned limbs, and the light shines on it, and it looks very smooth, as if it is oiled and shiny. The horse on the right of ¡¡¡¡ is dark, without a trace of variegated color, and its shiny mane and skin are clearly visible under the light. Although the two horses are locked in a fence, chewing fresh wheatgrass in their mouths, and are not running wildly outside, the temperament that emanates from the two horses is still quite attractive. For an instant, a word came to Xia Yu''s mind, that is "Dragon Horse Spirit". Dragon Horse refers to the legendary horse, the spirit of Dragon Horse, which is like the spirit of Dragon Horse, and describes the extraordinary spirit of health and prosperity. Xia Yu felt that the term used to describe these two horses could not be more appropriate. These two horses, Xia Yu liked the more he watched. He walked around outside the fence to observe, and said in amazement: "Too strong, this size, this look, a good horse!" "Yes, I feel that the famous horses on the racecourse are okay!" Li Qian also blinked her big eyes and observed curiously, and couldn''t help but exclaim. Although she is a girl, she has also been to the Jockey Club as a part-time job in college, and she has also seen some Masai. "Although I don''t know what the conditions of the horses are, I can guarantee that these two horses are the top horses in the club." Xia Yu said affirmatively. In his memory, there are a few big men who have horse racing hobbies, and naturally, he can tell whether a horse is good or not. Watching Xia Yu''s actions, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong smiled at each other. "Old bag, where did you buy these two horses, I think I want to buy a few." Xia Yuyi still retracted his gaze, and said to Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang laughed and pointed to the maroon horse and introduced to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, this horse is a pure blood Akhalje golden horse I bought from Turkmenistan. I entrusted a professional to find two. Months, the best one selected." "Oh, sweaty BMW?" Xia Yu blurted out when his eyes lit up, and went in to observe carefully, and found that the skin of this maroon horse was thinner, and blood vessels could be easily seen through the skin under the light. Combined with its maroon mane, if the maroon horse sweats and drenches its mane after running, the color will really look like bleeding blood. What Xia Yu also knows is that, according to the research of later horse historians, the sweaty horse is actually the Akhaldi golden horse that is still running in Turkmenistan. There are only about 3,000 in the world, and about 2,000 are in Turkmenistan. It seems that future news has also reported that there are only eleven thoroughbred Akhalja golden horses in the mainland, each of which is in the tens of millions. Of course, there are more impure blood, but they also range from hundreds of thousands to millions. "Yes, according to what we call China, it is a sweaty horse. This horse is considered top in Turkmenistan. It is not an exaggeration to call it a BMW." Bao Yugang nodded and said, obviously he also knew a lot. Xia Yu gave Bao Yugang a thumbs up and said, "This kind of horse can be obtained, amazing!" Bao Yugang laughed and said: "I run freighters all the year round and made some friends in the Middle East to transport oil, which also abolished the boss''s energy." seemed to know that the two were talking about it, and the burgundy horse snapped its nose, and its burgundy mane swayed freely, which made Xia Yu even more admired. Xia Yu nodded and agreed with his statement. This kind of horse can be called the national horse of Turkmenistan. It is really difficult for ordinary people to make it. If it is really like Bao Yugang said it is the top horse, it will cost a thousand less. It is not necessarily available for more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, because Turkmenistan has to keep breeding. If he wants to buy it, he will definitely find a way, and he can only use money to buy it. "What about this dark horse?" Xia Yu looked at the maroon horse again, then looked at the dark horse, and asked Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang did not speak, but looked at Huo Yingdong. Xia Yu raised his brows, UU reading www.uukanshu. com asked: "Lao Huo, is this horse yours?" Huo Yingdong nodded and smiled: "I bought this horse." "My network is not as extensive as the old bag, but I also found a horse king that was selected for more than two months. It is an Arabian horse bought from Saudi Arabia. The blood is very pure." "The Thoroughbred Arabian Horse King?" Xia Yu chewed these words with bright eyes, looked at the dark horse carefully, nodded secretly, and recognized Huo Yingdong''s technique. There are three types of purebred horses in the world, namely sweaty horses, Arabian horses and British horses. Among them, sweaty horses are the purest horse breeds. Arabian horses and British horses have the blood and genes of sweaty horses. There are two kinds of thoroughbred horses in front of him, and they are still top-notch. Only the rich have the ability to achieve this. Xia Yu said decisively to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, please give me the contact information of your friends, and I will ask them to buy me some horses." It''s hard to buy a happy daughter. After seeing these two horses, Xia Yu suddenly realized that he also wanted to raise a few horses. Anyway, he made so much money, it is rare to find that he has a hobby, so he has to be satisfied. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong laughed, and Bao Yugang said first: "Xia Yu, what horses do you still buy, aren''t these two horses yours? Otherwise, we will show you what to do?" Xia Yu was surprised, frowned slightly, swept across the faces of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and asked, "What are you?" v2 Chapter 643: Jockey Club Member Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong glanced at each other. The latter motioned to the former and said that Bao Yugang smiled heartily: "You have helped us so many times, and our hearts are also grown. How can we be indifferent, but left thinking. I want to find that you don¡¯t lack anything. I accidentally listened to opera a few months ago and was inspired by the phrase ¡°BMW is a hero since ancient times¡±. I thought that you would like BMW." "No, Lao Huo and I will give you a horse. I wish you a horse to be the first, and the horse will be successful!" "Now that you like these two horses, we can rest assured that we didn''t work in vain, haha!" Huo Yingdong smiled and nodded and said, "That''s what I mean with Lao Bao." Xia Yu shook his head dumbly, but his heart was hot. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, I feel your feelings. After so much trouble, I found two horses and gave them to me, and they are so expensive. I feel ashamed!" Huo Yingdong immediately retorted: "Xia Yu, we should be the ones who are ashamed. These two horses are not worth a lot of money. This is the slightest intention of me and Lao Bao. If you don¡¯t accept it. , This is making us uneasy to sleep!" Bao Yugang also solemnly said: "Yes, Xia Yu, compared to what you helped us, these two horses are not worth mentioning. If you can value me and Lao Huo, then you should stop turning away, lest you hurt us. Between feelings." Xia Yu took a deep look at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, smiled and shook his head and said with emotion: "Since you are all talking about it, it would be unkind for me to make excuses." "Then I will accept it, thank you for your kindness!" As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong showed smiles one after another. "Haha, no thanks, you like it to give us the greatest honor." "Yes, I will be more stable when I go back to sleep..." "Hahaha..." After ¡¡¡¡ laughed, Xia Yu continued to observe the two horses up close, and the more he looked, the more he liked it, the expression on his face was not hidden at all. Now that these two horses belong to him, his attitude of admiring horses has become different. "By the way, Xia Yu, I have one more thing to tell you." Bao Yugang said suddenly. Xia Yu raised his brows and asked with a little doubt: "What''s the matter?" "I understand that you did not join the Jockey Club, so I made a good suggestion and recommended you jointly with Lao Huo. All members of the Jockey Club Board of Directors have agreed. I will come to select the membership certificate later. In the living room, I will give it to you later. you." Bao Yugang narrated. Xia Yu was surprised, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "I remember that to join the Jockey Club, you have to apply first and then find a referee. I skip the process?" He didn''t write an application to join the Jockey Club. Now, after listening to Bao Yugang, he even got the certificate and there are only 200 selected members. This really surprised him. Huo Yingdong laughed, and said naturally, "Most people naturally follow this process. They have to line up for four to five years, but if you want to do this, the Jockey Club¡¯s sign will be smashed." "You can join the Jockey Club, but it is the honor of the Jockey Club. When Lao Bao and I recommended it to you, the board of directors didn''t know how happy it was." Bao Yugang nodded and smiled: "Yes, ordinary people are proud of joining the Jockey Club. Now your prestige is unmatched. The Jockey Club is proud of your joining." "You don''t know, you haven''t joined the jockey club, and when people asked at a few gatherings, the board of directors couldn''t hold back, haha..." Bao Yugang said, it seemed that the scene at the time appeared before his eyes, and he couldn''t help but smile. Xia Yu smiled. Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were both in favor of him, after thinking about it carefully, it is really possible. If it is said that in Hong Kong, which company or consortium has the largest capital and most influence, it is definitely not HSBC. But excluding the Hong Kong government, if any organization or company has the greatest influence on the entire Hong Kong, everyone will say it is the Hong Kong Jockey Club. was established in 1884. The Hong Kong Jockey Club was originally formed by a group of British people. It is the world''s largest speed horse racing organization. It has also been designated by the Hong Kong government as the operator of the Hong Kong gaming industry. At the same time, it also assists the government in cracking down on illegal gambling. It is the largest non-profit organization in Hong Kong and the largest charity organization in Hong Kong. It can donate more than one billion yuan to charitable causes in Hong Kong every year. And the Hong Kong Jockey Club now has more than 20,000 members and employs more than 40,000 employees. It has created a large number of joint jobs in catering, entertainment, shopping, etc., and has made a huge contribution to the employment of Xiangjiang. In 1971, Hong Kong horse racing turned into a formal professional activity. This sport became the largest sporting activity in Hong Kong. For every race, the Shatin Racecourse in the New Territories, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, is packed. More than millions of betting lottery tickets are sold every race day, amounting to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Ordinary people participate in buying lottery tickets and watching competitions, while those wealthy businessmen and celebrities raise their own private horses and become the owners of the horse clubs to participate in the horse club competitions. The atmosphere of comparison is very strong. Xia Yu is now a selected member, and also has horses, 100% can let his beloved horse participate in the competition. Speaking of this, I have to mention the types of Jockey Club members. There are two types of members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. One is for social elites. You only need to pay to register, then review the information, and wait in line. According to the current trend that everyone is proud to join the Jockey Club, wait three or four. Years are normal. This type of membership is almost all the upper-middle elites in society, only one out of a few hundred people. The other is inclined to the nature of private clubs. Only at the top of the society can you be eligible to join, and the joining procedures are very strict. Only members who can be selected for more than three years are eligible to recommend and then participate in the assessment to defeat competitors Get a spot. There are hundreds of members in the entire Jockey Club, but there are only two hundred selected members, and the rest are ordinary members, but even the qualifications of ordinary members are beyond the reach of the former members. But for others, it is very difficult to join the second type of horse club as a member. But for Xia Yu, it is easy. With his current strength and reputation, as long as he wants to enter the Jockey Club, there will definitely be a large number of selected members rushing to become his recommenders, and absolutely no one dares to stand up against his joining. , Unless the opponents think they can withstand Xia Yu''s suppression and revenge. At this time, although Xia Yu''s "Economic Weekly" did not rank him at the top of the rich list, the top big guys know that only the tip of Xia Yu''s iceberg is revealed on the list. Xia Yu is definitely the top. Gangster. Many people secretly rated his Jiuding Consortium as the No. 1 Chinese Consortium. This name, which had been spread from nowhere, went viral, and few people had any objections. It is Xia Yu, a top-notch boss, who has always been outside of the Jockey Club. For the board of directors that has been committed to expanding the influence of the Jockey Club, it is simply a blow to them. Many members are looking forward to Xia Yu''s joining, so that they can use this platform to connect with Xia Yu. It was in this situation that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong jointly recommended Xia Yu to become a member and became a member of selection in one step, which was a bit bad behavior, and everyone agreed. This is the reality. When ¡¡¡¡ is not in position, he just squeezes into a circle, proud to join this circle, but if he doesn¡¯t squeeze in, he will make jokes. When the position is high enough, there is no need to drill your head and squeeze in. The advanced circles will be proud of your participation and take the initiative to throw an olive branch. Becoming a selected member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is also good for Xia Yu. In addition, he has two BMWs at this time. If he doesn''t take a run on the field, he will leave the Pearl in dust. I am sorry Bao Yugang and Huo Ying Dong''s heart. Therefore, Xia Yu readily accepted this fact. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, thank you!" Xia Yu said thankfully. "By the way, Xia Yu, five days later is a big race day. At that time, the Jockey Club will hold a welcome ceremony to welcome you to join, or do you also participate in the race?" Bao Yugang suggested, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes. Xia Yu thought for a while. It seemed that it was a good choice. Two BMWs were in hand. Of course, everyone had to be insightful. He also looked forward to the performance of the two horses. "This is a good idea to register two horses together, but before that I have to find two excellent horse trainers." Xia Yu thought for a while and said. Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "Don''t worry about that. We have already identified five very good horse trainers for you. Tomorrow you can pick two. Four or five days will be enough to get on the court." "Your service is so attentive. It seems that I knew I would agree." Xia Yu said. "Hahaha..." "Thank you, tomorrow I will pick two horse trainers, and at the same time I will take the horses to the Sha Tin Racecourse to get familiar with the venue." "By the way, Lao Bao Lao Huo, do you participate?" Xia Yu asked the two. "Of course I participate. This is the first major race day in the second half of the year. It would be a shame not to participate." "Yes, as far as I know, at least forty Chinese who are at the same level as us will participate. How can we not participate in such a grand scene?" Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong said one after another. "Then we are competitors. Don''t win you with the horse you gave me. That''s interesting." "Haha, come on, I won''t lose anyway, I won or lost." "You are really..." ¡­¡­ After the joke, Li Qian whispered to Xia Yu: "Ayu, since you are going to participate in the competition, then the two horses have to be named." "Yes, you are quick to pick a name, you are a great writer, more educated than us, take a high-level name." Bao Yugang urged with a smile. Looking at everyone''s expectant gazes, Xia Yu quietly looked at the two BMWs, and the corners of his mouth were curved. "Since the two horses are of the horse king level, they are definitely not inferior to the ancient famous horses, and a modern name does not match them." "A maroon red sweaty BMW, and a black horse king." "The red one is called Chitu, and the black one is Wuli. I hope they are worthy of these two names." "Red Rabbit? Wu Qi?" Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong both said that they were uneducated, they knew about these two famous BMWs. "Red Rabbit" is the first horse in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is also known as "Red Rabbit in the Horse". It has experienced the two masters of "Ren Zhong Lu Bu" and "Wu Sheng Guan Yu", adding to its legend. Halo. "Wu Qi" is not to mention, the Western Chu Overlord¡¯s mount is the Wu Qi horse, who followed Xiang Yu to fight in the north and south, and finally died after jumping into the river with his master. At this time, Xia Yu named the two horses, which shows that he valued the two horses. After all, if he performed poorly during the game, and he still took this name, he would definitely make a big joke. If Xia Yu was ashamed, the two of them would be embarrassed as well. However, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are very confident, believing that the horses they gave will not make Xia Yu embarrassed. After all, they bought these two horses with great effort. The actual value alone is enough to rank in Xiangjiang. The top three in the Jockey Club. This is still no match for the value of winning the championship. If you win the championship, your value will soar several times, properly first and second. "Then look forward to five days later, Chitu and Wu Qi will be famous in Xiangjiang!" "I am looking forward too!" v2 Chapter 644: grand Five days later, Sunday, the sky was clear and clear, and it was a good day for horse racing. When Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others came to the Sha Tin Racecourse in the New Territories again, there were already tens of thousands of spectators. Said it came again because Xia Yu transported the two horses "Red Rabbit" and "Wu Qi" to the Sha Tin Racecourse four days ago, and selected a skilled horse trainer and two excellent riders. division. The duty of the trainer is to train, take care of the horses, and manage the operation of the stables, while the professional jockeys are responsible for the competition. A jockey may ride different horses a day, and with the energy of Xia Yu and Bao Yugang, naturally two more professional jockeys can be appointed to take charge of Xia Yu¡¯s two horses. This time, both of Xia Yu''s horses signed up for the competition. Today is a large-scale marathon specially held. Many big guys took their love horses out for a walk. There were a lot of applicants. Therefore, the number of games today is not the usual ten games, but sixteen games. The schedule is closer and more. Worth seeing. And every horse race, there are 14 horses participating, which means that there will be 224 horses participating today. Xia Yu¡¯s two horses were randomly assigned to different times, namely the second game of "Red Rabbit" and the sixth game of "Wu Qi". When Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others came to the best three-story open-air grandstand of the racecourse, they suddenly found many familiar faces. They were bigwigs from all walks of life or high-ranking political officials, of course, most of them were from the United Kingdom. people. Seeing Xia Yu, Bao Yugang, and Huo Yingdong three top Chinese bigwigs coming in, the original noisy conversation in the grandstand suddenly became much quieter. Then many people greeted Xia Yu with all smiles. Even those who didn''t come, smiled and nodded to Xia Yu and others. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Bao, Mr. Huo, good morning everyone!" "Good morning, Mr. Smith!" "Xia Sheng, welcome your coming." ¡­¡­ Everyone shook hands and greeted each other warmly. The scene was very lively. Some British people who were observing around looked solemnly, because they saw Xia Yu''s terrifying popularity, and many big men shook hands around him to say hello. "Xia Sheng, welcome to join!" "Shen Sheng, long time no see!" Xia Yu and Shen Bi shook hands solemnly to say hello. Before coming, Bao Yugang told him about the situation of the Xiangjiang Horse Club at this time. The horse club has a chairman and twelve directors, among which the chairman is Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC, who ran for office at the beginning of the year. Among the twelve directors, there are only four Chinese directors. They are the son of Luo Wenjin from the four old families, and the current head of the Luo family, Luo Cheng; Li Mingze, the eldest son of the Li Hysan; founded the Bank of East Asia Li Fuhe from the Li family; He Tian, ??one of the founders of Hang Seng Bank and the permanent director of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It''s just that among the four, I don''t know if they haven''t come together yet. The only ones who came to say hello to Xia Yu were He Tian and Li Fuhe, both of whom had had contacts with Xia Yu before. "Mr. Xia, when the next people arrive, I need to invite you to the stage and hold a simple welcome ceremony for you." Shen Bi said with a smile. Although I knew it before, Xia Yu still showed an unexpected expression and said: "There is no need to be so solemn, it''s already an exception to list me as a selected member, and I will be flattered by the welcome ceremony!" "Xia Sheng, what you said, your joining will make Ma Huipengxun alive, we are all worried about whether a simple welcome ceremony will be too inferior." He Tian, ??with white hair, smiled cheerfully. ¡­¡­ In the enthusiastic conversation, time passed by, and the stadium with a capacity of 80,000 people was almost full. Xia Yu looked down from a high place. The surroundings were densely packed with people. There were almost no empty seats. The betting points are full of people, which shows the people''s enthusiasm for horse racing. At this time, hundreds of people came from the grandstand. They are all top elites from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and the essence of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Before the game started, Shen Bi boarded the central stage, and then stood on a large screen in the middle of the racecourse. Shen Bi''s figure appeared. The noisy venue gradually quieted down. Almost everyone looked at the large screen in the middle. , I want to know what Shen Bi wants to say. "Dear guests and dear friends from the public, good morning everyone, I am the chairman of the Jockey Club Shen Bi." "Before the upcoming game, I have a big thing to announce." "Our Jockey Club once again welcomed a heavyweight member. I believe all the friends present have heard his name. Next, let us invite him to the stage with enthusiastic calls and applause." After ¡¡¡¡ finished speaking, Shen Bi smiled and looked to the audience on the left. Hundreds of top members in the grandstand smiled and applauded, and the 80,000 spectators on the racetrack were looking forward to it, and they were very curious. Some of them carefully studied the 224 horses in today¡¯s competition and found out that the owner¡¯s information had Xia Yu¡¯s name, and they wondered if it was the stock **** Xia Yu. In the grandstand, Xia Yu did not expect that Shen Bi would introduce him in front of everyone, and invited him to the stage. The point is that there is a big screen that can be seen in the audience. Such a move is not unreasonable. Xia Yu is a little flattered, but he also knows that Shen Bi, as the chairman, also has the element of his fame. After doing this, you don¡¯t need to think that Xia Yu will join the horse in the near future. With the headlines of the club, the reputation of the club will rise again. Seeing everyone looking at him, Xia Yu no longer hesitated and stepped onto the stage calmly. "Wow!" "Isn''t this the **** Xia Yu?" "Really, he didn''t join the jockey club before?" "Sure enough, he is a heavyweight. It is difficult for Xiangjiang to find a tycoon with a bigger card than him. I didn''t expect him to be so young..." "The stock **** seldom shows up in public. I didn''t expect to see it here today. I must have transferred it today. I have to cast another 100 bets quickly. It depends on the stock **** to get rich!" ¡­¡­ As Xia Yu''s figure appeared on the big screen, there was a sound of discussion and exclamation all around the racehorse. Listening to the noisy sound of the stadiumShen Bi''s mouth raised slightly, very satisfied with this effect. After Xia Yu was standing next to him, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, may I say something to everyone?" Xia Yu nodded with a smile, looked straight ahead, and said in a calm and confident voice: "Hello everyone, this is Xia Yu. I am honored to join the Jockey Club and be a family with everyone." "I did not expect Chairman Shen to prepare such a grand welcome ceremony for me, which surprised and moved me. Thank you Ma for his warm welcome!" "Finally, I sincerely wish the jockey club a prosperous and prosperous career, and wish all the friends present good luck and great fortune!" "Thank you!" After speaking, Xia Yu bowed, and suddenly there was a fierce applause and applause. "it is good!" "Papa Papa......" Especially the spectators sitting around the stadium, many people had to hear Xia Yu¡¯s blessing, and excitedly ran to the betting point to raise, and immediately led the nearby people to raise together. For a time, the betting points located around the stadium were crowded. Today''s Marseille, Global TV also broadcast live, and many viewers in front of the TV were also affected. They picked up the phone to bet on the phone. In the grandstand, Xia Yu, who had already gone off the stage, was rounded up by many people, while Shen Bi on the stage looked at the time and said loudly: "Please be prepared, the first game is about to begin!" () v2 Chapter 645: A good start Even if Marseille starts, everyone can find a seat in the grandstand, or go to the owner and member boxes next to them, where they can enjoy the food while watching the game. There are many betting spots nearby, dedicated to those present. service. "The first game is about to begin, Lao Huo, your''opener'' was in the first game. Are you confident that you will be the first?" A group of Chinese bigwigs gathered together. In addition to Xia Yu, there were Hu Zhong, Wang Dehui, Feng Jingxi and Tian Yuanhao of Wantai Garment. Bao Yugang said with a smile, focusing everyone¡¯s attention on Huo Yingdong. Body. Looking at a group of people, how could Huo Yingdong say that he has no confidence, he said confidently: "Although my''good start'' rarely competes, it does not mean that my strength has declined. It has won five championships." "The initial odds set is the second lowest, Zhenyu, go and vote for a 100,000 buy-in for the "open door"." "Okay, father!" After finishing talking, Huo Zhenyu, who was closely behind Huo Yingdong, immediately moved to the left betting point. "Open the door" is the name of Huo Yingdong''s horse, and it is the one with the most achievements among the three horses raised by Huo Yingdong. Each horse owner is not limited to raising one horse, but no more than four. This makes the uncertainty in the competition even greater. As long as the owner can afford it, the horse will be happy to see the owner raise three or four. "Old Huo, then look forward to your "good start" for us to get a good start." Xia Yu laughed. "It is necessary!" Huo Yingdong waved his hand and said proudly. As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Ying''s conversation turned around and directed everyone¡¯s attention to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, your''Red Rabbit'' is in the second game. Did you buy a hand? I saw the odds given by Ma Hui. , It is estimated that you are a new horse. Even considering the factors of the trainer and the jockey, it still gives you the highest odds of the second game. Among them, the odds are the highest at 67.4 odds." "Such a high odds? However, Singapore and Malaysia are generally unpopular. Some new horses have odds of more than 90 or even over 100. I believe that the odds of Xia Sheng''s horse will drop after a few more runs." "Xia Sheng''s horse is named''Red Rabbit''. The strength is definitely not simple. It seems that a dark horse will emerge." Tian Yuanhao laughed happily. Generally, the more popular the horse, the lower the odds, because the historical performance of this horse has proven its strength and the possibility of winning the championship is high. The horse club is not an open hall, so naturally it will lower the odds. A new horse like Xia Yu who has no historical results at all, the odds are set high. "What are the odds for my''Wu Qi'' in Game 6?" Xia Yu smiled, and asked Huo Yingdong with interest. "''Wu Qi'' odds are 78.5, which is also an upset, because two horses won the quarterly championship in the sixth game." Huo Yingdong clearly understood the situation, and by the way explained the reason for the higher odds of''Wu Qi'' than''Chitu''. After all, he sent''Wu Qi'' and the odds are higher than that of''Chitu''. This is not because he thinks the''Wu Qi'' he sent is worse. When it comes to facial issues, he certainly has to mention it. Xia Yu laughed instead of anger, and laughed in high spirits: "It seems that the Jockey Club is going to give me money. I haven''t bought a betting ticket. Wouldn''t it be a shame if I came here?" After finishing speaking, he told Li Wuming: "Brother Li, buy my two horses for 100,000 yuan each to win." Li Wuming nodded and walked to the betting point immediately. In horse racing betting, the gameplay is divided into ordinary pot play and special pot play. In the ordinary pool game, there are single win, position, consecutive win, position q, etc. To win alone is to select the first horse with the highest odds. position is to choose one of the top three horses; consecutive wins are to choose the first horse without order; position q is to choose two of the top three horses without order. And in the special pool, there are more ways to play, such as single T, triple color, quadruple color, triple color, six magic color, six color color, jockey king, etc. The specific game methods will not be repeated. In the ordinary pot, the odds of winning alone are the largest, but in the special pots, the odds of some games are much higher than the odds of winning alone. For example, Liubaocai is the last six events, and the first horse is selected in each game. Very small and extremely risky, so the odds are particularly high. However, Xia Yu¡¯s horses were only in the second and sixth races in the 16 games. He didn¡¯t know the other horses, so he wouldn¡¯t foolishly give money to the horse club. The only win in the ordinary pot would be enough. Enough is enough, just have fun anyway. In fact, not to mention buying 100,000, for him a few million is a small amount of money, but if you really buy it at this odds, it will be a bonus of several hundred million, and the pot is only tens of millions. Not to mention emptying the pot will create problems for the horse club. When that happens, everyone''s faces will not look good, and a large number of people will be offended. Xia Yu is not stupid, some money can be made, some money cannot be made, such as this kind of money, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and it is of a playful nature. Only ordinary citizens hope to make money with it. Just like Hu Zhong and others, when they saw Xia Yu buy their own horse to win, they also bought five thousand or ten thousand for the face, not to steal Xia Yu''s limelight and interests, but also to wait for the match. Xia Yu shouted for cheer together, in order to narrow the relationship and find common topics. Joining the Jockey Club focuses on social and social circles, but cares about interests outside the Jockey Club. Soon, Huo Zhenyu, Li Wuming and others returned, and the first marathon officially began. Following the referee''s order, fourteen jockeys galloped out on the horses. The originally quiet arena suddenly rang out with loud shouts, and the audience who had put their bets cheered for their chosen horses. "Lao Huo, your''good start'' is now in second place, a little bit close to the first. Your horse is famous for its late explosive power. It seems that the championship is stable." Bao Yugang squinted his eyes and said to Huo Yingdong with a smile, obviously knowing Huo Yingdong''s horse very well. Huo Yingdong laughed, with a hint of complacency, but said modestly: "It''s still early, don''t wait to make a final conclusion, don''t wait." "Hey, are there any outsiders here, what else do you installhaha..." "Super super super, first!" As the race finished halfway, the ¡®good start¡¯ finally took the lead, Huo Zhenyu exclaimed excitedly, and the smiles on Huo Yingdong¡¯s faces became more obvious. Xia Yu watched the game with great interest. He had to say that the viewing was excellent, and listening to the loud shouts, the adrenaline secretion accelerated, and the blood surged up unconsciously. "I immediately crossed the line, over a horse body, stabilized!" "The champion is the No. 6 ¡®good start¡¯, and the owner of this horse is the famous tycoon Huo Yingdong..." The host caught the hot spot in time and introduced it, and there was a burst of cheers on the court. The audience who bought the right laughed wantonly, enjoying the envy, jealousy and hatred eyes of the losers around. "Lao Huo, congratulations, you got another championship medal for your''good start'', and you made a small profit!" "A treat!" Xia Yu and others roared, Huo Yingdong was in a good mood, and he waved his big hand and said: "A treat is a trivial matter, no problem, is there time tonight?" "Huo Daheng treats guests, time must be available!" "¡­¡­" In the lively chat, the second game is about to begin, and the host begins to introduce the horses in the competition. "Xia Yu, Lao Huo won a championship, it''s up to you this time." "No problem, this must be upset." () v2 Chapter 646: Encountered He Hong??/a> As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, the referee gave an order on the arena. Fourteen horses rushed out, less than 20 meters away. They were divided into arrays. In the first round, there were three horses, two black, one red, and red. It was Xia Yu''s''Red Rabbit''. At a distance of 30 meters, the ¡®Red Rabbit¡¯ exceeds one horse¡¯s head distance and gradually increases the distance. The host¡¯s surprised voice sounded at the right time, and the scene rang out with shocking exclamations. Obviously, I didn¡¯t expect the least favored "Red Rabbit" to take the lead. This is only the second game, and the dark horse will be upset! Since''Red Rabbit'' has the highest odds and is an unpopular horse, naturally the buyers are the least. So, except for a very small number of viewers who bought the "Red Rabbit", the vast majority of the audience were worried, some were grumpy, and even yelled and cursed the "Red Rabbit" horse to stumble. However, "Red Rabbit" did not disappoint Xia Yu and the others. The jockey skills recommended by Bao Yugang were also very good. After a few days of running in, he managed to control the "Red Rabbit" and ran wildly to widen the gap. , The first place competition completely lost suspense. "The first place is the No. 8 horse, named''Red Rabbit'', with the same name as Wu Sheng Guan Gong¡¯s mount. This horse is the Akhalje Golden Horse from Turkmenistan. We often call it a sweaty BMW. Its owner Everyone must have heard that it is the stock god." "Sure enough, the vision of the gods is as accurate as ever, even in horse selection." "I heard that there are two horses competing in the stock **** today. The first is''Red Rabbit'', and the second is equally domineering. It has the same name as the ancient overlord Xiang Yu''s mount "Wu Qi". It is in the sixth group of competition. Unpopular, friends who haven''t bet yet seize the opportunity!" Needless to say from the host, many viewers who knew the news have already ran to the betting point. Missing the first ¡®Red Rabbit¡¯ horse is irreversible, and you must never miss the second horse. With the jewel of the''Red Rabbit'' in front, Xia Yu''s''Wu Qi'', which is also a new horse, has added a halo, and it has become a favorite to win the championship. However, the staff of the Jockey Club are not vegetarians, and they reacted immediately and lowered the odds of "Wu Liao" wildly. Betting ends before the start of the game, and the odds are adjusted in time according to the situation. Spectators can watch the trend change and place bets. The Jockey Club can also adjust the odds. Although this kind of behavior made the audience angry, they were helpless. The odds were lowered or they were rushing to bet. The accumulation of funds further reduced the odds of "Wu Qi". "Xia Yu, congratulations, not only won the championship in one fell swoop, but also earned more than six million!" "That''s right, I knew I would vote a little more. It''s a shame. It hurts to watch the money slip away from my eyes." "You and I are also viewers. You voted ten thousand and made more than six hundred thousand. I only voted five thousand, which is more than 300 thousand less than you. Then I am more heartbroken?" Each of them is a tycoon with a net worth of one billion yuan, but they are arguing for the interests of hundreds of thousands. Although they are all joking, if they are seen by ordinary people, they will definitely be surprised. "Xia Sheng, Huo Sheng have both invited guests, you can make more money, you can''t be indifferent." "Yes, that''s right, I haven''t eaten the meal of the **** of stocks yet. Eat a meal to rub your fortune and make sure you can make a fortune." "Isn''t it just a meal? It''s my greatest honor that you are willing to show your face." The noise of the crowd attracted the attention of the people around, and other people also took advantage of the trend to come together to communicate with each other and get closer to each other. Many tycoons congratulated Xia Yu. In the fourth game there was Bao Yugang¡¯s horse "Broad Sea and Sky". It is estimated that he took a step back before the game and caused him to fall behind at the start. Although he rushed to catch up, he only achieved the second place result, which made Bao Yugang a little regretful. Everyone joked that Bao Yugang had chosen the right name, "Step back and broaden the sky." In this regard, Bao Yugang can only laugh or cry. The fifth scene... In the sixth game, Xia Yu''s "Wu Ha" went on a horse, with the "Red Rabbit" jade in front. Many tycoons gathered around to watch the excitement. It really lived up to expectations. "Wu Ha" defeated several previous quarterly champions with a powerful explosive force. And endurance won the sixth game. Xia Yu made more than seven million yuan again, and there was a burst of congratulations around Xia Yu. In the first race, the two horses won a championship each, and at the same time earned Xia Yu nearly 14 million. The news spread across the stands. Many people looked at Xia Yu with full eyes. For Yan Envy, especially those members who joined the Jockey Club as not rich people, this 14 million yuan is a huge amount of money for them, and they did not expect to be earned by Xia Yu once. Even for tycoons, 14 million is big money. After all, among the tycoons present, those with a net worth of more than 1 billion are in the minority. Most of them are hundreds of millions of net worth. One twentieth. But no one said Xia Yu unwisely. After all, he only bought his own horse to win, and he only bought one hundred thousand. Not one million is not bad. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu walked around the stands at random to find people to socialize, and unknowingly walked to the right side of the stands. When he saw two people, his eyes narrowed slightly. is He Hongshen and his eldest son He Youguang. He family father and son also saw Xia Yu, especially He Hongshen and He Youguang also looked at Li Qian who was holding Xia Yu''s hand. Seeing He Hongshen and He Youguang walking over, Xia Yu''s footsteps paused slightly, and Li Qian also recognized the He and his son. The original brilliant smiles diminished in an instant. Yushou subconsciously wanted to let go of Xia Yu, but Xia Yu grabbed her and let Li Qian Peace of mind for a while. "Xia Sheng, Miss Li, good morning!" He Youguang said with a smile. He Hongshen smiled at Li Qian and nodded, then looked at Xia Yu, smiling normally and said: "Xia Sheng, long time no see!" "He Sheng, Youguang, long time no see!" The performance of He Hongshen and He Youguang was expected by Xia Yu. He also smiled and shook hands with the two to say hello. Both father and son He are wise people, and their daughter (sister) He Chaoqiong doesn¡¯t care. They will naturally not intervene, especially not embarrassing Xia Yu in public, because doing so will also be difficult for them. . He Hongshen''s attitude of being direct but not asking is the best way to deal with it. "Xia Sheng, congratulations, both horses have won the championship and won more than 10 million. Your vision is still as accurate as ever!" He Hongshen congratulated. Xia Yu smiled: "These two horses were given to me by Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. I just joined the Jockey Club and I just took it for a race. I didn''t expect to get the first place. I can only say that I was lucky. Right." "Oh? It turned out to be given by the two of them, so you should win the championship. Each horse combines the fortune of the two tycoons, and it won''t work if you don''t win the championship." He Hongshen was a little surprised, and then said with a smile. "What He Sheng said, no wonder the business is getting bigger and bigger." "The career is better than others, but it''s nothing compared to you. It''s nothing." "Haha, He Sheng what you said..." "By the way, He Sheng, do you have a horse race today?" "The comparison is overThe fifth game, the results are average, and I took second place, which is the upper limit. It seems that I have to learn from Bao Yugang and buy a top-quality horse. , Otherwise I won¡¯t be able to keep up with your pace.¡± ¡­¡­ The two talked and laughed, and the relationship kept getting closer. He Hongshen wanted to get closer to Xia Yu, and his daughter also dated Xia Yu. Xia Yu can be said to be his prospective son-in-law. Because of some reasons, there was a gap between the two of them. At this time, he naturally tried to eliminate it. Mi. And the problems between men and women seem to him to be only minor problems. Xia Yu''s identity is enough to eliminate those influences. He has already tacitly agreed and even secretly encouraged his daughter to associate with Xia Yu. And Xia Yu was considering that he had already eaten his daughter, and the relationship had been established. In fact, he was short of status. For He Chaoqiong, he had to make a better relationship with He Hongshen. The two of them are tacitly aware but they are moving towards a goal together, and the relationship unknowingly gets closer. Suddenly, Xia Yu thought about Omen TV. He pondered for a moment, and said to He Hongshen: "He Sheng, ask you something." He Hongshen''s eyes condensed, and he immediately said solemnly: "Please speak!" "I heard that the Longmen government is dissatisfied with the operating conditions of Longmen TV. Is it possible for the Longmen government to change hands?" Xia Yu smiled faintly and said softly. PS: Ask for a monthly recommendation ticket, thank you! :. : v2 Chapter 647: Those who have the Tao will help Although Xia Yu thought he was euphemistic, how could He Hongshen not understand the meaning of Xia Yu''s words. And he happened to have the equity of Longmen TV station. This was publicly disclosed, and Xia Yu could not have known it. At this time, Xia Yu asked him the Omen government¡¯s views on equity. With Xia Yu¡¯s usual style, did he also take a fancy to his equity? How should he choose? For a while, Rao is He Hongshen who has experienced strong winds and waves, but he is still inevitably thinking about it. , of course, appeared on the outside, but his brows were slightly frowned, thinking. Xia Yu was not in a hurry, and waited quietly. More than ten seconds later, He Hongshen clarified his thoughts and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was reminiscing about the Macau TV station just now. You have been waiting for a long time." "It''s not in the way!" "Omen TV Station has never made a profit since its establishment. The Longmen government has repeatedly proposed to make the TV station profitable. After many efforts, it has not succeeded. Under disappointment, it has stopped worrying about the operation of the Longmen TV station. ." "If you want to buy the equity of Longman TV, it may be more difficult to deal with the face of the government, but it is not impossible!" Xia Yu smiled, nodded slightly and said, "As long as it is possible, I am not afraid." After speaking, Xia Yu turned his head and asked again: "By the way, He Sheng, Omen is your site, and I know the situation in Omen clearly. If I want to buy Omen TV station wholly, what should I do? ?" coming! He Hongshen said in his heart. However, when he was just dumbfounded, he had already made a quick decision. Facing Xia Yu¡¯s problem, he pretended to think and said: "Omen TV station has three shareholders, from large to small, they are the Omen government. And me, since you plan to acquire Longman TV, all my shares can be transferred to you at a low price." Xia Yu smiled and sincerely thanked him: "Thank you so much, I have written down this favor." He Hongshen smiled with satisfaction. He doesn¡¯t care about Longmen TV. Moreover, as long as Longmen TV is acquired by Xia Yu, with his daughter He Chaoqiong, Longmen TV¡¯s stance will definitely be biased towards him. Under Xia Yu¡¯s management, The better the Ormen TV station, the greater the benefit to him. Without holdings, it can have an effect that exceeds holdings, and it can also sell Xia Yu to ease the relationship, no matter how it is not a loss! Since Xia Yu came to help this time, He Hongshen certainly wanted to seize this rare opportunity. Therefore, he went on to say: "Where are the remaining shares and the shares of the Omen government, I personally suggest acquiring the shares of He Xian first, and then we The two were lobbyists together, persuading the Longmen government to sell the equity." Xia Yu nodded and agreed: "This is a good way." "It''s just that I''m not familiar with He Xian, I just have a relationship." As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, He Hongshen immediately said: "In this case, I will be the middleman. Please come out in two days. How about you and him in person?" "Such the best, thank you He Sheng!" Xia Yu said gratefully. "No thanks, no effort!" Even though he said that, He Hongshen made up his mind that he would visit Hoxian first and do what he did after returning home. As for the acquisition of He Xian¡¯s equity to Xia Yu, He Hongshen rejected this choice after he realized it in his mind. Although he has a lot of energy in Omen, when it comes to the official level, he still has no good family. Now he is a member of the Government Affairs Committee of the Omen Government, a Chinese representative and the chairman of the Omen Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The network is very wide. Only when they come forward, can we guarantee to the greatest extent that Xia Yu takes the stake in the Omen government. Although He Hongshen wanted to sell more favors to Xia Yu, he did not faint. With He Hongshen¡¯s matchmaking, things are progressing in a good direction. Two days later, He Hongshen¡¯s 25% of the equity had been transferred to Xia Yu, and he also said that he would give it to Xia Yu directly, saying that he would not need Xia Yu¡¯s money, but one yard was returned to one yard, and Xia Yu gave it symbolically in the end. Ho Hongshen two million Hong Kong dollars. As for the equity in He Xian''s hand, he will soon acquire it. Omen Lisboa Hotel, supreme box. Six people sat around the table, He Xian and his son He Houhua, He Hongshen and his eldest son He Youguang, and Xia Yu and his subordinate Huang Xizhao. "Xia Sheng, I have always regretted not having the opportunity to meet you, but now I finally got my wish." He Xian, who is seventy-one years old, wears glasses, his hair is gray, his face is full of kind smiles, and he said with emotion. "He Sheng, you are damaging me. I have done something wrong. I haven''t visited you several times. I apologize to you with tea instead of wine!" Xia Yu got up and took a cup of tea to drink. After all, there is something to ask for, so superficial work is still needed. How did you quickly get up and wave your hands: "Xia Sheng, your gift is so big, you can''t bear it!" He Xian also picked up the cup and drank it. The two looked at each other and smiled and sat down again, and the relationship unknowingly got closer. "He Sheng, this time I ask the King of Gambling to ask you out on your behalf. I have something to ask for!" Xia Yu went straight to the subject and said sincerely. He Xian nodded slightly, looked at He Hongshen, then turned his gaze on Xia Yu again, and solemnly said: "Xia Sheng, He Gambling King has already told me that the equity of Longmen TV Station is not important to my family, and no more It''s not worth a lot of money, if you need it, let''s give it to you!" Why is it worthy to be a person who does great things, speaking is open and bright, making Xia Yu feel good. In fact, it is true. Now, the Macau TV station is losing money every year, not to mention 10 million Hong Kong dollars. It is not even worth 8 million. The only thing that is worthwhile is the exclusive operating license granted by the Longmen government. 32% of his shares are worth several million. But things are like this. To others, the value is only a few million, but to Xia Yu, the value is great. Therefore, Xia Yu does not think that this favor is worthless. After all, things are in the hands of others, and even if they are worthless, there is nothing they can do without you. "He Sheng, thank you for your generosity. I appreciate your kindness. Your willingness to transfer the equity to me is already a great help to me. I must never let you suffer a loss!" Xia Yu said solemnly. Seeing Xia Yu''s resolute attitude, he didn''t even ask for it anymore. He smiled and said, "If this is the case, then give me 2.88 million. If you are auspicious, you will be a friend!" "Then I will cheekily accept your old love!" Xia Yu thanked him. Later Xia Yu took the initiative to say: "He Sheng, there is one more thing, please help. In order to better run the Longmen TV station, I need to carry out all-round reforms. The Longmen government holds a large amount of money. Equity will plant a huge destabilizing factor." "Therefore, I want to acquire the equity in the Longmen government. I would like to ask you and King He to help." "No problem, I can help with this!" He first said plainly. He Hongshen had communicated with him a long time ago, and he had made a decision when he came. At this time, he just met Xia Yu and walked out to befriend Xia Yu. After the negotiation, Huang Xizhao and He Xian¡¯s son He Houhua went to dock, and Xia Yu and others took the opportunity to chat. With the help of Longmen Shuanghe, the Macau government only approved it. After only five days, 43% of Longmen TV''s equity went to Xia Yu again. What Xia Yu paid was only 5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and he promised to help the Longmen government to promote its policies at a critical time. So far, in just seven days before and after, Longman TV was acquired by Xia Yu in a flash, and TVB has just received the news. It is said that after Shao Yifu got the news, he almost fainted. Shao Yifu, known for his good mentality, even smashed his beloved antique blue and white porcelain tea cup. In this regard, Xia Yu just smiled faintly, and put it behind his head, and asked Huang Xizhao to complete the transformation of Macau TV as soon as possible. () Recommend the new book of City God Lao Shi: v2 Chapter 648: Win 1 company In the following days, Xia Yu was busy with his business, not only had to deal with one invitation after another, but also put his energy into controlling his career. During this period, Elena always called Xia Yu around 8 o''clock in Hong Kong time, which was exactly one o''clock noon in London. Elena told Xia Yu¡¯s work at the beginning, such as the progress of Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s transformation, and the progress of the acquisition of some companies by the Bright Fund. These were supposed to be the general manager of George Berkeley, but George Berkeley wittily handed over all the reporting work to Elena, so Elena would justly call Xia Yu from time to time. Gradually, the content of the conversation between Elena and Xia Yu is not limited to work, from geography and culture to political situation, from poetry and song to life philosophy, in short, talk about everything. Although the two are separated by nearly 10,000 kilometers, under the connection of a telephone line, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and it has gradually exceeded the category of friends. The two talked for nearly an hour almost every night. Naturally, they couldn''t hide from Li Qian, and Xia Yu didn''t deliberately hide from Li Qian. Li Qian was indifferent to this. Regarding this, Xia Yu had a scale in his heart, and he secretly sighed that while this scumbag found a good woman, he loved Li Qian more and gave her more care and care. In terms of business, various companies are developing rapidly, and Xia Yu¡¯s focus is on companies that have not yet entered a formal company. Such as the acquisition of Jardine Machine Group by Wang Qi and Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. The star project of Universal Television Station. Huo Jianning''s preparation for the establishment of Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., and the island country Fukuhara Kazuya assisted in the process of acquiring Sega. The construction of Jiuding Think Tank and so on. The good news came almost at the same time. Jiuding Securities won 38.5% of the shares of Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Bolton Keswick and Rodney Keswick. Because Jardine Machinery Group is already an unlisted company, the calculation of the valuation did not follow the high price-earnings ratio after listing. After calculating the actual assets, the premium was calculated. Jiuding Securities gave a valuation of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. The valuation of 1.5 billion is definitely not as good as the market value that Xia Yu pushed up during extortion last year, but it is much higher than the market value of 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars last year when Xia Yu had not attacked. So spent nearly 580 million Hong Kong dollars. According to Wang Qi''s report, the negotiation between the acquisition team and Claude Keswick has come to an end, and the problem is not big. On Universal Television¡¯s side, the team that Huang Xizhao sent to the United States also sent good news. The US satellite launch company is willing to undertake the satellite launch business of Universal Television. It is about to conduct price negotiations and report to Huang Xizhao and Xia Yu, and apply for negotiation authorization. Yu made the decision directly and let them play freely. The last news came from the island country. Although it was the latest, it made Xia Yu very happy. Fukuhara Kazuo also personally called Xia Yu and told him about the results, which showed his energy. Island Sega¡¯s overall valuation is US$37 million, which is US$1 million lower than the original historical transfer price. According to Xia Yu¡¯s request, except for the current president Hayao Nakamura¡¯s 4.5% equity and nine executives¡¯ 3.5% equity, the 92% equity of Sharp Corporation, David Rosen, and Sega¡¯s parent company in the U.S. were all acquired by Fukuhara Kazuo. It was also acquired at a purchase price of 34 million US dollars. Because of the participation of the two joint venture company Jiuding Yonghe Fund, and Xia Yu just took him some time ago to make a fortune in Sony¡¯s stock, Kazuo Fukuhara did not mention the transaction fee for this acquisition. Fukuhara Kazuo didn''t mention it, and Xia Yu was also happy to pay a little less. Fukuhara Kazuo also called Xia Yuzhong, and asked Xia Yu to send someone to accept Sega as soon as possible to avoid loss of popularity. Xia Yu learned that Huo Jianning was at the Tiangong Group''s premises in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. After thinking about it, Xia Yu led some people to check the progress in person. The main industrial areas of Hong Kong are concentrated in the New Territories and Kowloon. The New Territories are mainly in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and other places. The industrial divisions of Kowloon are divided into Sham Shui Po and Lai Chi Kok in the west of Kowloon, and Kwun Tong and Kowloon City in the east of Kowloon. Kwun Tong Industrial Zone is the largest industrial zone in Kowloon. Xia Yu¡¯s Asia¡¯s largest Jiuding Printing Factory and Jiuding Toy Factory are here. Tiangong Electronics Group will also locate its factory in Kwun Tong Industrial Zone. For this reason, Xia Yu directly designated a 16-story building close to the Kwun Tong Industrial Zone as the headquarters of the Tiangong Group. The Tiangong Electronics Group, which is under preparation, is located inside as a subsidiary. The actual factory is circled on a vacant lot 300 meters away. It has already started construction at the same time. Jiuding Infrastructure Company is responsible for the construction. After arriving at the Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, Xia Yu found Huo Jianning at the construction site. He was wearing a red helmet and was discussing with the on-site engineering director of Jiuding Infrastructure with drawings. The arrival of Xia Yu surprised the two of them, and immediately stopped discussing them, saying hello: "Good morning, Chairman!" "Well, what are you talking about?" scanned the busy workers and engineering equipment around him, Xia Yu asked them with a smile. "Back to the chairman, Manager Huo is asking me to adjust the construction area and speed." The person in charge of on-site engineering can hardly even see Liu Shihao, general manager of the group, let alone Xia Yu, the ultimate boss, so he is inevitably excited and a little eager to perform. Huo Jianning smiled and nodded, indicating that it was true. Xia Yu understood the mentality of the person in charge of the project. He asked gently, "Well, what is your name?" "Back to the chairman, my name is Chen Chun, and the company sent me to manage this project." The person in charge called Chen Chun flashed a surprise in his eyes and said immediately. Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Quality and safety are the most important in engineering construction. Pursuing efficiency on this basis. This project is very important. You have to be careful not to let me and the company leaders down." Chen Chun raised his head and chested out, and responded loudly: "Follow the chairman''s instructions, you must go all out!" "Ok!" "You go ahead and I have something to say with Manager Huo." sent his subordinates away, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning: "Jianning, how is the progress?" Huo Jianning said like a few treasures: ¡°Chairman, the company¡¯s staff has been supported In terms of management, I arranged the Minister of Personnel to assist in recruiting personnel. In terms of technology, I found Professor Li Tao and Professor Li from Xiangjiang Chinese University. With real talent and practical knowledge, he is now hired as a special consultant of Tiangong Electronics and is now designing the manufacturing process." "The factory has not been built yet, so Professor Li is still at the Chinese University, designing plans in his spare time." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, you just need to check it off." "How about the patent registration place of the game planner I gave you?" Xia Yu asked again. Huo Jianning immediately reported: "The patent applications of Xiangjiang and Longmen are specially handled. The patent certificate has been obtained. The patent of the island country is under application. The international patent has been entrusted to a professional company to register. That company has many channels, and it takes up to one month. Can be approved." "Very well, Xiangjiang''s patent has been taken down, then I can take you to the island country with confidence." "Go to the island country?" Huo Jianning looked surprised, then reacted, and asked with a little excitement: "Chairman, is Sega took it down?" "Ok!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said: "You prepare, tomorrow I will take you to the island country to receive the company." "Ok!" Huo Jianning responded excitedly. PS: Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation, thank you! () Recommend the new book of City God Lao Shi: v2 Chapter 649: Take over Sega No. 39-9, Higashi Shinagawa 1-chome, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, the island country, is the headquarters of the island country Sega. On this day, the Tokyo sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear. However, a group of senior executives from Sega, headed by Hayao Nakamura, gathered in the meeting room, and the air in the meeting room was filled with a dignified and dull atmosphere. A long time ago, they heard that someone was seeking to acquire Sega. They did not expect that the acquisition had been completed in just over a month, and the new owner was still from Xiangjiang, and they were about to take over the company today. The new boss has never met, and no one knows what kind of person he is. Therefore, everyone present has no intention of working. Everyone is walking on thin ice, for fear of being washed out. Even if they hold a small amount of equity, they still cannot give them the slightest sense of security. After all, the new boss is an absolute majority shareholder with 92% of the shares, and they have no room to resist. Time passed by one minute and one second, and soon an employee rushed in and said loudly: "Report the president, Jiuding Yonghe Fund will call, and the new boss will arrive in five minutes." The faces of all the people present condensed, and the president Hayao Nakamura stood up, his face solemnly said: "Master, please cheer up and welcome the boss with the best spirit!" "Yes!" After speaking, everyone was led by Hayao Nakamura to the head office gate, and a group of people waited quietly. About five minutes later, a row of black cars drove to the parking space at the entrance of Sega, and then a group of people descended. The two people were Xia Yu and Fukuhara Kazuya. Kazuo Fukuhara had already met Hayao Nakamura, so the latter and others recognized him, so the only one who was accompanied by Kazuo Fukuhara was the new boss Xia Yu. Everyone looked at it instantly, and they were surprised. This boss is too Young! Surprise is only a momentary thing, they once again have the spirit of twelve minutes, the younger the boss means that the character is more elusive, and more attention must be paid. Hayao Nakamura and others immediately greeted him, bowed respectfully, and shouted in unison: "Hello boss!" "Well, how are you!" Xia Yu responded with a smile. "Let¡¯s go in first, it¡¯s not convenient at the door." Fukuhara Kazuya vocalized at the right time. Hayao Nakamura and others immediately accepted their promise and respectfully welcomed Xia Yu and others into the company. And all the employees of the company know that today is the day when the new boss will take over the company, so when Xia Yu passed by, the nearby employees bowed respectfully. Xia Yu is not surprised, knowing that the island nation has a distinct class, as it was in the past, so he just smiled and nodded. Soon, the group of people came to the large conference room, and after sitting face to face, Xia Yu''s eyes swept across everyone''s faces, Nakamura Hayao and others raised their heads, showing their full enthusiasm and spirit. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Before you start, please introduce yourself first." "Dear boss, I''m Hayao Nakamura, I just took office as the president of the company three months ago, and I am mainly responsible for..." "Dear boss, I am Ichibei Ichiro, the current company personnel manager..." ¡­¡­ A total of ten executives, including Hayao Nakamura, introduced themselves one by one, Xia Yu and Huo Jian quietly listened and remembered. When the last person finished speaking, Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "The introduction is very detailed, and I am glad to meet everyone!" "I believe that before coming, Mr. Kazunari Fukuhara has disclosed my information to you and has a preliminary understanding of me. My name is Xia Yu, and I am your new boss." "But your superior is not me, but the one to my left. He will introduce himself later." "Now let¡¯s talk about Sega¡¯s affiliation. The parent company of Sega is Xiangjiang Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., and the next level is Tiangong Group." "I have a certain understanding of you. You have made great contributions to the company and have outstanding abilities. I will not adjust your positions for the time being, but it does not mean that you can relax. The next three months It is the observation period. I hope you can do your job well as always." "As for the equity you hold, I am not interested in this. You can rest assured that everything will follow the normal process. Of course, if any of you want to sell, I will give a reasonable price for recycling." "Understand!" Hayao Nakamura and others immediately responded, but everyone was relieved. The new boss didn''t come and burned wildly. It seems that it is a good result. But they did not completely relax. The three-month inspection period that the new boss said hung over their heads like a knife. They didn''t want to suffer unacceptable punishment. "Next, Manager Huo will speak." "Hello everyone, I am Huo Jianning, I am highly valued by the chairman. I now serve as the general manager of Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., and I will communicate with you in the future. If you have anything at work, please report to me first. I will report the situation to the chairman to decide. I hope you can do your job well..." After a formal meeting, Xia Yu suggested that Hayao Nakamura and others should lead him to check the company. Needless to say in terms of administration, the old company is more than 20 years old. The administrative management system has been very mature, and the efficiency has not been solidified because of the long time. Although there was a slight problem in it, Xia Yu did not point it out in person. It is to signal Huo Jianning to write down and make corrections later. As for the game console manufacturing plant, not far behind the headquarters, when Xia Yu inspected, the employees were working hard to make arcade machines. In terms of production technology, level and capacity, Sega is worthy of the reputation of the island''s top old-brand video game company, and Xia Yu has not been disappointed. Due to poor sales, the factory has not started at full capacity. Check Xia Yu, Xia Yu has done it well. Sega¡¯s current quagmire has been solved very well, and the source is also at one point, that is, the game creativity of the fire. As long as you design a game comparable to "Space Invaders", you can reach the top of the game world again at any time. It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s been more than a year since Taidong¡¯s "Space Invaders" swept the game industry. Sega also designed more than a dozen arcade games, and five of them have been released to the outside world, but without exception, all are tepid. . But this is a difficult problem for Sega, and it shouldn''t be too simple for Xia Yu! This time he came to the receiving company, and he brought these with him, and now it''s time to take it out and really impress these people. After a round of inspections, everyone returned to the large conference room Xia Yu said: ¡°I already understand the company¡¯s situation. Now the company urgently needs to develop a high-quality game, Hayao Nakamura, the game The development and design department is currently designing games with insufficient highlights. If they are developed, they will still go the old way, wasting time and resources, and now they are all cut off." As soon as this remark came out, the heads of five game development and design departments, including Hayao Nakamura, seemed to be struck by lightning, with some indignation and dissatisfaction in their hearts, but because Xia Yu was the new boss, he kept silent. The other executives also didn''t expect that the new boss Xia Yu who thought he was good-tempered would suddenly get into trouble. They all shut their mouths tightly and watched the situation. After a few seconds, Hayao Nakamura said wittily: "Boss, let you down, we will cut off all the current designs and develop games that satisfy players." Xia Yu smiled and said: "I know that vetoing your labor results makes you very unconvinced, thinking that I am commanding blindly." "Boss, we dare not!" Nakamura Hayao and others were surprised and immediately denied it. Xia Yu still smiled, raised his hand to stop their words, and continued: "Before that, I will show you something first. These are games that the parent company Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. has designed and registered. They are the elites of the game industry. Tell me the answer after you read it." After finishing, Xia Yu motioned to Huo Jianning in the confusion of Hayao Nakamura and others. Huo Jianning and other subordinates immediately opened the small suitcase, picked up a stack of documents, and distributed them to the ten executives sitting there.

This game has such an obvious country name, which is the first time in the history of the game. But I have to say that this name is quite unique, at least he remembered it after reading it. Then, he reserved his opinions and continued to look down. Before he knew it, the more he watched, the more he became more involved. From time to time, he contemplated, and from time to time he suddenly realized. The other nine executives all performed similarly. Xia Yu leaned on the chair, sipping tea leisurely, watching the constantly changing expressions of Hayao Nakamura and others. This time there are five game plans in total, namely Huaxia Cube, Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Tank Battle. Needless to say, the Huaxia Cube was made by Xia Yu imitating the classic Polar Bear Cube. This casual game will only be developed for five years. After the fire, Nintendo won the final agency rights and implanted Nintendo¡¯s first-generation portable The game console was a big success. The final battlefield of Huaxia Cube must be in the handheld, but it is only in 1979. Due to hardware factors, players have not experienced the baptism of fierce fighting games such as Double Dragon, Dinosaurs and King of Fighters, so Huaxia Cube is made Arcade machines will also have a big market. Not to mention Super Mario, it is also a masterpiece of Nintendo. From its production in 1981 to more than 30 years later, it has created huge commercial profits of more than 35 billion U.S. dollars for Nintendo. If this game Xia Yu is not copied, Isn''t it waiting two years to be abused by Nintendo The Donkey Kong game, also launched by Nintendo, is a bit later than Super Mario. It was not released until 1983. It is also a classic game. Nintendo is still publishing this series until the 21st century, making money for Nintendo. Billions of dollars. Pac-Man is also a classic arcade game in the history of video games. It was just produced by Nangong Dream Company. It was released in mid-1980. It should not have been produced yet. This game is one of the most classic arcade games in the 1980s. The weapon of Nangongmeng''s siege, was now destroyed by Xia Yu, and another opponent was directly destroyed. Not to mention the last tank battle. It is also a fist game of Nangong Dream Company, which was only released in 1985. This game is not only popular on arcade machines, but also on handhelds. These five games were brought over by Xia Yu. Nintendo and Nangong Meng were only stepped on by Xia Yu. Now the beautiful Taidong Company only relies on a space invader and absolutely cannot resist. Later generations of game giant Sony has not formally set foot in the game field at this time. According to the original history, there are still several years, so there is no need to pay special attention for the time being. As for other second- and third-rate video game companies, Xia Yu didn''t even look at it. There was no threat. As soon as these five games are released, the world of arcade games will change. Although Hayao Nakamura is the president of Sega, he is also the head of Sega¡¯s game development and design department. He has his own unique experience in games. He is a giant in the island country¡¯s gaming industry and the true founder of the island¡¯s Sega. During his 19 years in his previous life, Sega¡¯s classic games have emerged one after another. Although these five games are still on paper and no physical game consoles have been produced, he has already seen part of the essence of each game with his eyesight. Just seeing those things made him excited, and these five games definitely have the potential to become classics. "Compared with these five games, the company''s original games are rubbish" Hayabusa Nakamura had to admit in his ambition that even though his face was a little hot, his intuition and reason told him that it was so. After reading it, Hayao Nakamura raised his head and looked at Xia Yu with enthusiasm. He excitedly asked, "Boss, who is the designer of these five games? He is definitely a master in the game industry. It will be my honor to ask for advice." Seeing that Hayao Nakamura has become so fanatical, Xia Yu smiled faintly, realizing that Hayao Nakamura has the essence of a technical madman, and think about it, without this essence, he would not shout "I live to make Nintendo uncomfortable". I can''t always lead the company to fight Nintendo. The others had almost finished watching at this time, and they all looked at Xia Yu expectantly when they heard Hayao Nakamura''s question. However, as a big boss, Xia Yu boasted too much. Sony Huo Jianning stood up intimately and proudly said to everyone, "These five games are designed by the boss himself." "Nani" Hayao Nakamura''s eyes widened, and he looked completely unbelievable. These five classic games turned out to be designed by a new boss. The new boss is a master of game design Seeing the indifferent smile of the new boss Xia Yu and Huo Jianning nodding affirmatively, Hayao Nakamura had to believe, and could only believe. He suddenly felt like he was living on a dog. But after another thought, I was excited again. The boss Xia Yu is so powerful, the time has come for Sega to rise again. As long as these five games are produced, Taidong¡¯s dominance will collapse instantly. "Boss, please give me more advice in the future" Hayao Nakamura stood up, bowed deeply to Xia Yu, and said solemnly. Xia Yu smiled and raised his hand to signal him to sit down, "Sit down first, there are opportunities behind." "Now let''s talk about business first" "You have all seen these five game planning. The parent company Tiangong Electronics will authorize the company to produce and sell. Your task is to go all out to make prototypes of these five games." "There may be differences in the chips required for each game, and you will be responsible for the specific selection of more cost-effective chips." "Do you have confidence" At the end, Xia Yu''s face turned straight, and his voice suddenly rose a few degrees. "Have" Hayao Nakamura and others raised their heads and responded loudly. They have seen the planning of these five games, and they don''t need top-level chips, and low-end chips are enough. Sega already has an arcade production line. After purchasing the chips, the motherboard can be assembled, which is very difficult. With the game designed, Hayabusa Nakamura has set a timeline for himself in his ambition, which is to go all out to get all five arcade machines into mass production within a month. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and instructed Hayao Nakamura, "Nakamura Hayao, according to the company''s situation, at the same time do a good job of recruiting and supplementing personnel." "understand" "Boss, I have some questions I want to ask you" Afterwards, senior executives from several technical departments, headed by Hayao Nakamura, gathered around Xia Yu for advice. Using Xia Yu''s knowledge and background to solve the doubts of Hayao Nakamura and others is simply a matter of hand. After asking for advice, Xia Yu clearly felt that Hayao Nakamura and others were completely admired by him. The hearts of the people have been received, and the overall situation of Sega has been determined When leaving, Xia Yu told Huo Jianning, "Jianning, we will recruit people from Xiangjiang as soon as possible, and then send them to Sega for study and training, and bring the technology back. Our roots are ultimately in Xiangjiang." Huo Jianning nodded heavily and replied, "Chairman, I remember." It is precisely because Tiangong Electronics is still building from scratch, there is a shortage of people at any technical level, and hardware is also lacking. It is a long way to go to make these five games. Therefore, in order to start production early, the production will be authorized to Sega. However, this is only a transitional stage. When Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. has the ability, the primary and secondary relationship with Sega will no longer be limited to nominal. Thinking of this, Huo Jianning secretly made up his mind to speed up the pace of construction again after returning. v2 Chapter 651: Hold the position of Chinese medicine Now that he came to the island country, Xia Yu stopped by to check out his own companies in the island country, such as Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Book Group, Jiuding Newspaper Island Branch, and Jiuding Securities Island Branch. The results of the inspection made Xia Yu very satisfied. Every company developed very healthy and did not shame him. During the period, Fukuhara Kazuya also specially prepared a dinner with unique island characteristics for Xia Yu, which was a rare fall. Three days later, Jiuding Yonghe Fund, Xia Yu and Fukuhara Kazuo also arrived. Although Jiuding Yonghe Fund holds half of the shares of each party, the general manager belongs to Jiuding Fund, while the deputy general manager and the other half of the power departments belong to Kazuya Fukuhara. Of course, because the big bosses of the two parties have reached an agreement, although the internal forces of Jiuding Yonghe Fund are quite distinct, when it comes to work, they all work together to make joint efforts for the company''s development. Although Jiuding Yonghe Fund was established later than Jiuding Securities Island Branch, Kazuo Fukuhara, who has a very private mind, also used the resources of the Sanhe Consortium to feed it. Instead, Jiuding Securities set up a special department in the island country, that is, securities underwriting business. The owners of Sanhe Bank are in all walks of life, and there are always some companies that are outstandingly developed and want to go public. Sanhe Bank will also participate in securities underwriting. As long as Sanhe Bank believes that this company has money and wants to sell or underwrite some of its shares in the company''s ipo era, newly listed companies are absolutely happy. Although Jiuding Yonghe Fund is weak and its reputation is not obvious, in the case of Kazuya Fukuhara, generally new companies preparing to go public will give face. Therefore, in just a few months, Jiuding Yonghe Fund has participated in the underwriting of the IPOs of eight companies, and none of the companies broke the deal, which really made Jiuding Yonghe Fund a fortune. This business is mainly attributed to Fukuhara Kazuya, so when he accompanied Xia Yu to check the company, Fukuhara Kazuya was also a little complacent. Xia Yu smiled slightly, agreeing with Kazuya Fukuhara¡¯s credit, isn¡¯t this one of Kazuya Fukuhara¡¯s values? "Mr. Fukuhara, with your contacts and resources, I believe that the company can develop securities underwriting into one of the best businesses in the island country." Xia Yu exclaimed. Fukuhara Kazuya smiled, and said modestly, "Xia Jun is too acclaimed, so I can only borrow the resources of Sanhe Bank. If Jiuding Yonghe Fund wants to develop into a large fund company in the island country, the key lies in the capital investment business. This is Xia Jun''s strength, and I want to learn more from you." "Haha, then we learn from each other and make progress together so that the fund develops as fast as possible" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Yes, work together" Fukuhara Kazuya also said with a smile. "By the way, Mr. Fukuhara, the economy of the island country is getting better and better, and more and more companies are seeking to go public, especially now that it has entered the second half of the year, how many companies are paying attention to IPOs?" Xia Yu suddenly asked that he wanted to see if he wanted to see if there were any well-known companies in future generations among the companies that had recently sought to go public. If so, he would pick up a leak. Fukuhara Kazuya also smiled slightly, and made a gesture of asking, "The specific registration is in the underwriting department. Xia Jun, please come with me." "Ok" Soon, Xia Yu and Fukuhara Kazuo came to the securities underwriting department. As soon as they entered, they found a long row of tables in the super large office, let alone more than forty people sitting, and then there was a large At the round table, some people are discussing the problem. Fukuhara Kazu also called an islander named Ryo Taishi, who was also the person in charge of the office. After asking, Ryo Taishi took out a register. After flipping through a few pages, Kazuo Fukuhara handed it to Xia Yu and said, "Xia Jun, this book has registered ipo underwriting targets that have been screened out, please see." "Ok" After speaking, Xia Yu looked over. 1. Tokyo Dayan Company, established in 1958, its main business is real estate development, tourism development, and hotel management 2. Kangfu Group, established in 1963, is mainly engaged in the production of cosmetics, under its own brands such as Yimei, Qingcao, etc. 3. Beihai Iron and Steel Company, established in 1957, is mainly engaged in steel smelting After looking at them one by one, Xia Yu had to admit that just through the information written here, every company is doing well. Although I have not seen well-known companies in later generations for the time being, it does not mean that these companies have not been operating in the past few years. it is good. Besides, although Xia Yu has a strong memory, he only remembers some well-known companies in later generations. There are so many companies in island countries. It is normal for a smaller company to not remember the name. Xia Yu continued to look down with a calm heart. When he saw the last one, Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed. 10. Shima Kuni Tsumura Co., Ltd., established in 1893, has been committed to the scientific research of Kampo preparations for more than 80 years, with the goal of producing high-quality Kampo products and new drugs, and established the only crude drug in the island country in 1924 Research institute "Tsumura Research Institute" and "Tsumura Medicinal Botanical Garden" Unexpectedly, I have turned over to such a company and the first Tsumura Pharmaceutical in the island country in the field of traditional Chinese medicine has not yet been listed at this time. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the stars in his eyes turned, recalling a lot of information that made Chinese people embarrassed and resentful. Many people may not have heard of this company, but this company embarrassing the majority of Chinese people. Tsumura Pharmaceutical, the largest Kampo medicine production and research company in the island country, Kampo medicine is Chinese medicine Traditional Chinese medicine has a bad reputation in China. There are many reasons for it, such as the quality of medicinal materials, standardized production and pharmaceutical processes, and difficulties in training Chinese medicine. However, in the island country, Kampo medicine is regarded as a good thing for health preservation by the island people. After the introduction of Chinese medicine in the 5th and 6th centuries, the island people gradually formed a tradition of taking Chinese medicine, such as in the Shrine of Todaiji Temple in Nara, the island country. , There are precious medicinal materials such as agarwood 1200 years ago. The islanders believe that Kampo medicine can improve physical fitness and believe that Kampo medicine can cure diseases that are not ill. It is mainly used to prevent and treat lifestyle diseases such as high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, as well as postoperative adjuvant treatment. In the island country, 89 doctors prescribe Kampo prescription drugs, which shows the popularity of Kampo medicine in the island country. The island country also established a modern pharmaceutical standard for traditional Chinese medicine before China, which is embarrassing. On the contrary, thinking about the status of Chinese medicine in China, one can''t help but hate that iron can''t become steel. Even many Chinese people travel all the way to the island country to buy Kampo medicines and bring them back to the country, but they don''t know that the Kampo medicines in the island country are not only the prescriptions, but also the raw materials of the medicines. Most of them come from China. The things hidden in it hit some Chinese people in the face. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the Kampo medicine company headed by Tsumura Pharmaceuticals began to send people to China to collect ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions from various parts of China at extremely low prices. These are the essence of thousands of years, but they have been given thousands of dollars by the island country. Buy cabbage for a few hundred or even dozens of yuan. Later, the more than 200 kinds of Kampo medicines, including prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs, produced by Shima Kunitsu Village Pharmaceutical accounted for more than 80% of the market share. Most of the prescriptions for these medicines come from Huaxia. When the later Huaxia pharmaceutical companies want to produce these drugs, they must pay protection fees to Tsumura Pharmaceuticals. The key is that some important medicines are not authorized to Huaxia pharmaceutical companies. In addition, there is another extremely dazzling data, that is, the most critical medicinal material planting base of Chinese medicine. There are few species of small creatures in the island country, but China is vast and abundant. Many Kampo medicines in island countries must import raw materials from China. In order to solve this drawback, Tsumura Pharmaceuticals thought of directly building a Chinese medicinal material production and quality management standard medicinal material planting base in China to control quality from the source. Tsumura Pharmaceutical alone has more than 70 g bases in Qianzhou and Guangxi provinces. In contrast, China Tongrentang is an important company with the most gpa bases, but there are only eight in later generations8 and More than 70 places, how big is the gap I was left behind by others from the source They used Huaxia¡¯s medicinal farmers and bases to grow medicinal materials, and they also used Chinese cabbage prescriptions bought from Huaxia. In the end, they made money for Huaxia. The island country also took Chinese medicine to apply for the World Intangible Cultural Heritage. All this, how insidious and shameless, makes Huaxia people angry And Tsumura Pharmaceutical, the island country¡¯s largest Kampo medicine company, is the culprit. The example of traditional Chinese medicine is not alone. In the fields of steel, automobiles, chemicals, finance, etc., islanders are calculating insidiously. But there is no way. In this era, Huaxia has no experience and is still crossing the river by feeling the stones. The people of the island nation are unintentional and cannot prevent it. Fortunately, it was discovered by Xia Yu now. Tsumura Pharmaceutical¡¯s actions just started not long. Xia Yu still has sufficient confidence and has many ways to solve it. At the same time, he has won this lucrative industry and also held a position for China. v2 Chapter 652: Master goes out For example, see if there is a chance to buy this company! In this way, we can take into our mouths the knowledge accumulated by Tsumura Pharmaceutical Company over the past 80 years, and also take back the advantages that Tsumura Pharmaceutical has taken from China in the past few years! This is the best way to recover the loss, while also being able to destroy a powerful enemy. Otherwise, there is an island country market for Tsumura Pharmaceutical Company to take root and growth, and China''s market is still immature. Even if Xia Yu establishes a new company, it will be difficult for Tsumura Pharmaceutical Company to compete in a short time. According to the original trajectory, even in 2000, Tsumura Pharmaceutical''s annual turnover exceeded China''s annual sales of proprietary Chinese medicines by 19%. If there is no external stimulus, Xia Yu will have to endure for more than 20 years to monopolize the sales of Chinese patent medicines in China, and it will be possible to fight against Tsumura Pharmaceutical! For more than 20 years, you can wait or wait! It takes a lot of effort just to change with external force! Thinking of this, Xia Yu put down his register and said to Fukuhara Kazuya: "Mr. Fukuhara, do you know about Tsumura Pharmaceutical? If I want to acquire Tsumura Pharmaceutical completely, is this possible?" Fukuhara Kazuo was also very surprised. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to suddenly want to acquire Tsumura Pharmaceutical? Just thinking of the special nature of Tsumura Pharmaceuticals, Fukuhara couldn''t help but shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xia Jun, I personally think it''s difficult. It''s not a question of money anymore. It also involves a dispute between Chinese and Western medicine." "Don''t look at Tsumura Pharmaceutical now as the island nation''s first. People in the island nation also agree with Kampo medicine, but it is still recovering." "During the Meiji Restoration, the island nation learned from the West and introduced a bill to abolish Chinese medicine. Only a few senior Chinese medicine practitioners gritted their teeth and called for the restart of Chinese medicine." "It was not until after 1945 that island countries began to enter a modernized country. More and more people discovered the value of Chinese medicine. The people spontaneously learned Chinese medicine, and then the government abolished the laws of the Meiji Restoration period, and Chinese medicine and Kampo medicine were able to rejuvenate vitality." "Moreover, more than 80 years have passed since Tsumura Pharmaceutical¡¯s shareholders have changed many times. Many of the current shareholders are research institutes of Chinese medicine or medical schools. Tsumura Pharmaceuticals has become the key to their successful experimental research and expansion of influence. exist." "It also involves the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine. Tsumura Pharmaceutical''s long-term development strategy has long been set. This is no longer the solution of money." "If you want to acquire, it is very difficult, but I can try it for you." At the end, Kazuya Fukuhara used a possible tone. Young people like him don¡¯t pay much attention to these things. In order to better develop the securities underwriting business in the recent period, he has spent some time to check, and therefore he has such a deep understanding of Tsumura Pharmaceutical. Xia Yu frowned, he didn''t expect it to be this special situation. try{mad1(\''gad2\'');}catch(ex){}¡¡¡¡ Tsumura Pharmaceutical involves ideological and industrial struggles. For those institutions and ideal people, money is of secondary importance. He is very clear that money is not everything, and may be able to solve 99% of problems, but for a very small number of idealists, money is only a tool they use to achieve their goals. Capitalists hate this kind of people because they need them to research technology. They hate it because many of them don¡¯t get in, making capitalists¡¯ biggest weapon capital useless. "Then please give it a try. If you can, help me buy it. If there is no way to buy it wholly, just buy a part of the equity." Xia Yu said slowly. Even though he said that, he actually had no hope in his heart. Fukuhara nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay to acquire a part of the equity. Tsumura Pharmaceutical will be listed soon. At least a quarter of the equity will be put in the stock market. Sanwa Bank and our fund are likely to get the underwriting rights. These stocks It can be transferred to you, and I will help you acquire others." "Mr. Fukuhara, please trouble you!" Xia Yu smiled gratefully. It doesn¡¯t matter if you can get part of it, break into the enemy and steal the enemy¡¯s secrets. After learning the essence, it will be more conducive to the growth of your company. For example, Tsumura Pharmaceutical has cooperation with multiple medical schools. This is a good opportunity to learn the strengths. After ¡¡¡¡, Kazuo Fukuhara accompanied Xia Yu for lunch, and then sent Xia Yu on the plane to Xiangjiang. Yi, Xia Yu came to the Qiu Medical Hall. Since there is not much hope, he will take the second path as soon as possible. He has never been a lucky person who hugged a tree and hanged himself. "A Yu, why are you free today?" As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Qiu preparing Chinese medicine. Li Qiu saw Xia Yu and said happily. "I thought I haven''t seen you for so long, so I came here." Xia Yu said with a smile. Li Qiu laughed, although he knew that Xia Yu was just talking, but he was still happy. "You go into the inner hall and sit down, and I will almost come over." Li Qiu said while preparing medicine. "Okay, Master, please be busy first!" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu entered the inner hall and saw the wooden pegs in the courtyard, and couldn''t help but start Tai Chi. About five minutes later, a long-robed, white-bearded Li Qiu walked in with a gentle smile, watching Xia Yu punching, he stopped to observe, more than ten seconds later, his smile on his face became brighter, from time to time Nodded, obviously satisfied with Xia Yu''s skill. "Huh!" Xia Yu reaped the merits and stood up, and came to Li Qiu, and smiled: "Master, is my skill okay?" Li Qiu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Yes, I have practiced to this level in a year, and the progress is very fast, comparable to ordinary people''s three to five years." try{mad1(\''gad2\'');}catch(ex){}¡¡¡¡ Hearing this kind of evaluation, Xia Yu was very happy, but he was not proud. Instead, he asked modestly: "Please also Master!" Li Qiu thought for a while, and brought Xia Yu to the yard, and said, "You call it again, there are a few things to change." "Ok!" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu started punching again. Li Qiu called to stop from time to time to point out Xia Yu''s shortcomings, and Xia Yu carefully corrected it. Before I knew it, half an hour passed by. Xia Yu and Li Qiu went into the inner hall and sat down, drinking tea and chatting. "Master, this time I have something to ask you." After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu put down the cup and said solemnly. Seeing Xia Yu''s solemn attitude, Li Qiu raised his brows slightly, concentrated his attention and said, "Let''s talk, what''s the matter?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment. He didn''t ask questions so quickly. Instead, he first told Li Qiu about the Tsumura Pharmaceutical and the island TCM that he had learned yesterday, and then asked: "Master, it doesn''t count if you exclude the mainland. How is the situation?" Li Qiu was silent for a long while before he sighed and said: "The situation is not optimistic Now the future of Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine is not in marketing, but in the inheritance and cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine. The latter two have problems." "Many old Chinese medicine practitioners have passed away in the past ten years. Now there are only about 15 Chinese medicine practitioners who are really capable of Xiangjiang. Among them, the inheritance of five is unstable and future generations are unwilling to learn." "I don''t know the situation in Southeast Asia, but it is conservatively estimated that there are more than a dozen old Chinese medicine doctors, and the most reserved are in the east." "The other is the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. Xiangjiang has only one Chinese herbal medicine trading market. It was good more than ten years ago and the quality is guaranteed. Now the quality of Chinese herbal medicines has generally declined, and the good and the bad are uneven. I have to personally choose the medicines I buy, otherwise the medicines will not be effective and will harm others and ourselves." "Following this trend, if there is no change, Chinese medicine will gradually decline, and when Chinese medicine declines, Chinese medicine will be almost there." After all, Li Qiu depends on Chinese medicine to make a living. After so many years, he has already become a part of Chinese medicine, so he is naturally worried about the development of Chinese medicine. However, his strength alone is not enough to save the entire industry. Unless there is a super external force to intervene! Wait, super external force? Thinking of this, Li Qiu looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Isn¡¯t external force just capital? Use capital to drive other forces! In Xiangjiang, if the capital is strong, which Chinese can compare to his apprentice Xia Yu? And now Xia Yu took the initiative to ask him about this, he must have some thoughts! Thinking of this, Li Qiu looked forward to Xia Yu''s true intentions. v2 Chapter 653: Tai Chi Medicine and Yangshengtang Seeing Master Li Chunqiu¡¯s expression, Xia Yu knew that he had guessed it, so he said directly: "Master, this time I went to the island country, which touched me a lot. Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine were passed down by our ancestors. Instead, they gradually came to the island country. Prosperity, but we are gradually weakening, I think I should do something." Li Chunqiu laughed and said with great relief: "It''s great that you have this kind of idea. The greater your ability, the more you can bear the responsibilities that others want to take but cannot afford. If you intervene, Chinese medicine still has hope! " "A Yu, just tell me, even though I have taken the old bones away, I can still use some residual heat." Just wait for this sentence! Xia Yu smiled and said gratefully: "Master, I just want to invite you to come out this time. Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and money can not solve the problem." Li Chunqiu nodded his head with deep conviction: "It''s good for you to have this understanding, and you won''t make detours. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on inheritance. As long as the inheritance is carried forward, the dross and the essence are selected, and the changes in the times can be used, it will be able to rejuvenate." "What do you think? What do you plan to do?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "Master, I have an overall idea, you first listen to it." "Currently, Xiangjiang does not have a school that specializes in the training of Chinese medicine. I plan to set up a school for training Chinese medicine professionals first. Please have other old Chinese medicine practitioners who have real talents to teach skills and pass on Chinese medicine." "Secondly, I also plan to set up a special Chinese medicine hospital. I have decided on its name. It is called Chunqiu Hospital. Inviting a group of masters to sit here will not only build a reputation for Chinese medicine, but also provide a platform for practical communication, which is beneficial to everyone. For school exchanges, the most important thing is that doctors trained in Chinese medicine schools have a place to learn and practice, and to improve their skills more quickly." "Furthermore, it is to set up a pharmaceutical company, purchase secret recipes of traditional Chinese medicine, and use scientific methods to develop proprietary Chinese medicines with stable efficacy." "I also know that Chinese medicine is mainly planted, so I plan to find a suitable place on the mainland, establish a special herbal planting base, and plant qualified and effective herbal medicine." "Finally, it is the terminal of the industry. In drug retail stores, many traditional Chinese medicines have health care functions, warming and nourishing blood, and ordinary people have this need." "You should know the Tongrentang in mainland China. I plan to benchmark Tongrentang and set up a chain store. The name is Yangshengtang." "That''s all my plans." After speaking in one breath, Xia Yu''s mouth was dry, and he took the tea in front of him and drank. However, Li Chunqiu was a little dazed by the huge amount of information in Xia Yu''s words, and he was contemplating. Seeing this, Xia Yu was also happy to drink tea leisurely. As Xia Yu said, he initially aimed at the Chinese medicine market. The pharmaceutical industry is a sunrise industry with super promising prospects, and the threshold is extremely high. It is easy to become a monopoly in a certain field. Many large consortia will be involved in the pharmaceutical field. Of course, those big consortia are mainly involved in biopharmaceuticals, but Xia Yu will take root in China after all, and the Chinese patent medicine market with China''s characteristics can''t be let go. How can they manage a private plot. Unfortunately, hearing what Li Chunqiu said just now, Xia Yu also knew that Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine are very involved. If you want to do a good job in the Chinese medicine industry, you have to use Chinese medicine. But now, there is something wrong with the inheritance of Chinese medicine. Although there are still many top Chinese medicine doctors, it has always been a huge middle and lower level that determines an industry, and the problem lies in the cultivation of the middle and lower levels. In the island country, 76% of physicians have used herbal formulas, but in China, how many Western doctors know Chinese medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine is always recommended to patients when Western medicine is not able to recover. However, Chinese medicine focuses on curing the root cause, and the treatment time is longer, and the lack of time for severely ill patients. When Western medicine is no longer effective, you can count on Chinese medicine to save your life. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has its own problems, such as the lack of age of medicines, excessive heavy metals, excessive pesticide residues, and poor doctors'' skills, etc. Any problem in any link will greatly reduce the effectiveness of Chinese medicine. There are too many loopholes and rat feces in the entire industry. It is not that there are no people with real skills. The imperial doctors in Ouchi are obvious examples. The problem is that most people do not meet famous doctors at all, which causes the dilemma of Chinese medicine. Simply Xia Yu is not bad for money, simply engage in traditional Chinese medicine and the traditional Chinese medicine market, covering the entire industry chain from source to terminal, and the benefits are also great, which can greatly improve the threshold and overall competitiveness of its own pharmaceutical company, and make more money. . At this time, Li Chunqiu also sorted out Xia Yu''s thoughts. He stroked his long beard and said cheerfully: "A Yu, you are really a big deal. Do it as you said. As long as you succeed, you will contribute a lot! This money You deserve it!" Xia Yu smiled, then his expression became serious, and said to Li Chunqiu: "Master, the key to the whole plan lies in those old Chinese doctors who have real skills. Only when they come can the Chinese medicine school and the Chinese medicine hospital be completed. As for the other , I bought the Chinese medicine formula myself to develop it." Li Chunqiu knew what the difficulties Xia Yu was talking about. He thought for a while and said, "Leave it to me about talents. I have some connections. They are people who care about everyone. I believe that as long as I explain the pros and cons to them, they will be positive. joined." "As for the traditional Chinese medicine formulas your pharmaceutical company needs, I happen to have more than 20 kinds here, all for you." Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Master, you actually have more than 20 Chinese medicine formulas here? Why are there so many?" Xia Yu knew that a single formula of Chinese medicine would be enough to be passed down from one family. Li Chunqiu had more than 20 kinds of such precious things, which surprised him! Now Li Chunqiu has agreed to give him these Chinese medicine formulas, and his pharmaceutical company''s foundation has been filled in half in an instant, as long as the scientific research personnel are added. Li Chunqiu sighed slightly, and said with emotion: "Most of these formulas were given to me in the war era. At that time, the world was chaotic and devils searched for the essence of Chinese heritage. I traveled north and south and met many people. They I couldn''t bear to end the inheritance, so I gave me the Chinese medicine formula. I didn''t use much. You just use it to benefit the world." Hearing what Li Chunqiu said, Xia Yu was silent. He didn''t expect that there would be such a story. He suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders. Xia Yu nodded solemnly: "Master, I will keep these things and carry them forward." "In island countries, some pharmaceutical companies are now going to the mainland to buy Chinese medicine formulas at the price of cabbage. I will send people there later to buy these formulas as much as possible. It is better than being taken away by the islanders." When Li Chunqiu heard this, his expression was serious, and he warned: "A Yu, the little devil is still as sinister as ever. You must do your best to do this. The things left by the ancestors must not be taken away by the devil!" "wait for me a while!" After speaking, Li Chunqiu entered his room. After a while, he came out with an antique box, put it on the table and opened it, and said to Xia Yu: "These formulas are here, there are twenty-four kinds of them. Originally you took them all, and I kept the copies." Xia Yu did not refuse, accepting solemnly, and gratefully said, "Thank you, Master!" ... Later Xia Yu talked to Li Chunqiu for a long time. After lunch, Li Chunqiu directly closed the door of the medical hall and went to do the preliminary work of the Chinese medicine school and the Chinese medicine hospital. And Xia Yu was not idle, sending someone to register the company and preparing materials. Needless to say, the school is going to be called Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a private school, and its future goal is to be upgraded to a university. In the case of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, Xia Yu plans to call the Chunqiu Hospital after Master¡¯s name. The pharmaceutical company intends to call Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with 24 formulas given by Master Li Chunqiu. The starting point is not low, and Xia Yu also plans to go to the mainland to build a GAP medicinal planting base, which is also owned by Tai Chi Pharmaceutical. . Finally, it is the Yangshengtang, which belongs to Taiji Pharmaceutical Industry, which deals in Chinese herbal medicine and folk medicine. Xia Yu originally had a drugstore chain called Wanning Pharmacy, which is now under the Jiuding Retail Group. However, Wanning Pharmacy mainly sells western medicine and cosmetics, and Yangshengtang complements Wanning Pharmacy, so Xia Yu can realize the whole field of pharmaceutical retail Coverage. v2 Chapter 654: Lay the foundation The facts are not what Li Chunqiu expected. Under his walking and lobbying, many old Chinese doctors were tempted and promised to contribute their own strength to the inheritance of Chinese medicine. Although all walks of life have opinions and love to cherish themselves, these old Chinese medicine practitioners are all kind of people who save the dead and heal the wounded, and have a broad mind. The news that the tycoon Xia Yu intends to fund the establishment of a Chinese medicine school and a Chinese medicine hospital quickly circulated in this circle. After that, Li Chunqiu did not say anything when he came to the door, and the person visited had already agreed. Things went smoothly, Xia Yu''s confidence increased, and he immediately communicated with the Hong Kong government, and easily obtained permission to establish a Chinese medicine school and a Chinese medicine hospital. Xia Yu is willing to privately fund this kind of good deeds to benefit the people and ease the pressure on education and medical care. MacLehose would not agree unless he was stupid. After receiving the approval, Xia Yu asked Master Li Chunqiu to gather all the old Chinese doctors who were willing to join, and personally participate in the discussion of the construction of the Chinese medicine school and the construction of the Chunqiu Hospital. Not surprisingly, after the establishment of the organization, Xia Yu, the leader and funder, served as the honorary president and chairman of the Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the chairman of Chunqiu Hospital. The position of the principal of Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine fell to a respected old man. The position of the dean of Chunqiu Hospital fell to Li Chunqiu, and a large group of gray-haired elders had no objection. After all, Li Chunqiu''s medical skills are brilliant, and he is Xia Yu''s master. Whether it is strength or name, it is understandable that he sits in the position of dean. After the establishment of the upper-level organization, a group of people quickly became busy, and Xia Yu also asked Jiuding Real Estate Group to intervene to find a suitable place to build the Chinese Medicine School and Chunqiu Hospital. The strategic upstream level is progressing smoothly, and Xia Yu''s Chinese medicine company has naturally fallen. He directly approached President Wang of the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency and told him that he wanted to find a suitable place to grow Chinese medicinal materials on the mainland. Faced with Xia Yu¡¯s investment intentions, Wang Ping promised to report to him immediately after Xia Yu left, which attracted high attention from the above. After all, Xia Yu¡¯s investment intentions, by nature, know that at least several decades. To benefit the country and the people, for the mainland which is extremely short of foreign exchange, it is a fat meat that is reluctant to refuse. What''s more, Xia Yu''s status is destined to be absolutely satisfied. After Wang Ping informed the mainland that he had sent people to Qianzhou and Gui Provincial Party Committee Xia Yu to find a suitable medicinal planting base, Xia Yu was very happy. However, if you want to get Tai Chi Pharmaceutical on the right track, the most critical step is to find a qualified helm. This person at the helm must not only understand business management, but also have a certain understanding of Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine. These two conditions have eliminated almost all talents. Korn Ferry International could not find suitable talents in a short time. Just when Xia Yu was in distress, Li Chunqiu called him over. Master Li Chunqiu''s only medical apprentice Wang Haoyun has returned to Xiangjiang! When he arrived at the Chunqiu Medical Center, Xia Yu saw an elegant middle-aged man in his 30s and 40s talking and laughing with Li Chunqiu. "Master!" After saying hello to Li Chunqiu, Xia Yu looked at the elegant middle-aged man and said with a smile: "This is Brother Wang, right? This is Xia Yu!" "Yes, I am Wang Haoyun, good brother!" The elegant middle-aged Wang Haoyun smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu. He has been in the United States for the past two years and has relatively little contact with Xiangjiang, so he does not know the identity of Xia Yu, and Li Chunqiu has not told him for the time being, so he can calmly call Xia Yu Junior Brother. Xia Yu didn''t know much about Wang Haoyun, because Li Chunqiu rarely mentioned Wang Haoyun to him. The only few mentions were just to let Xia Yu know that Li Chunqiu had an apprentice before him. He was very talented and passed on his medical skills. Because he wanted to keep Chinese medicine up with the times, he went to the United States to study western medicine. In the past few years, I often came back. In the past two years, I have not been back to Xiangjiang because of busy business. "A Yu, I asked Haoyun to come back, and it just so happened that he came to an end." "A Yu, don''t look at your brother''s age, but he is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine. In the same age group in Xiangjiang, there is almost no better doctor than him." Li Chunqiu said to Xia Yu. Wang Haoyun quickly and modestly said: "Master praised me, I am not so good." "In front of your own family, you don''t have to be so humble, you are good at everything, but you have a soft temper." Li Chunqiu''s direct words made Wang Haoyun smile wryly. "Haoyun, let you come back this time, mainly for your junior brother. Your junior brother''s plan is huge. I am also involved in it. The impact is far-reaching, but it is short of manpower." Upon hearing this, Wang Haoyun looked at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu responded with a smile. "You haven''t been in Xiangjiang for the past two years. You don''t know A Yu''s situation. He is the premier Chinese tycoon in Hong Kong, with assets of over 10 billion." Li Chunqiu''s words made Wang Haoyun stunned. He looked at Xia Yu again in disbelief, blinked his eyes, and couldn''t believe that the young junior in front of him was a tens of billions tycoon. "Master, what you said is true?" Wang Haoyun swallowed and asked again. Li Chunqiu smiled and caressed his beard, and said to Wang Haoyun, "Aren''t your juniors here? You will know if you ask him, the Jardine consortium, you should know that most of the assets have been acquired by your juniors, including Land Group." Xia Yu smiled, not modest, and said indifferently: "Master said almost, there are still tens of billions of assets." I was affirmed again, Wang Haoyun was silent for a moment, which had a great impact on him. He did not expect that after only two years of coming back, the master accepted another apprentice, and he was still a tens of billions of tycoons, more than two billion in US dollars. Putting it in the United States is definitely a tycoon who can make the Forbes rankings. This is fantastic! The private hospital he currently works for is a medical tycoon, but as far as he knows, the assets are only about 300 million U.S. dollars. There is no way to compare with Xia Yu. Thinking of Xia Yu''s identity, Wang Haoyun didn''t know what to do, feeling that it was inappropriate to call Xia Yu Junior Brother. Xia Yu saw it and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don''t think about it so much. If I have money, am I still Master''s apprentice?" Li Chunqiu also smiled and said, "Yes, Haoyun, don''t have a burden in your heart. They are all senior brothers." In order to prevent Wang Haoyun from falling into random thoughts, Li Chunqiu simply asked Xia Yu to state his plan. "A Yu, tell Haoyun about your plan first." "Ok!" "Brother..." Listening to Xia Yu''s words, Wang Haoyun''s attention was diverted, but after listening to it, he was still shocked by Xia Yu''s great skill. Xia Yu used his own power to promote the inheritance and modernization of Chinese medicine, and the impact is absolutely far-reaching. Although he is also proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, he also studied and studied the modernization of Chinese medicine in his free time in the United States, but compared to Xia Yu''s plan, his achievements are insignificant. Fortunately, he knew the power of capital, and did not underestimate himself. "Haoyun, after all, your roots are in Xiangjiang. Your research in the United States is also under the fence. There are many constraints. It happens that your younger brother has such a huge plan, and with your younger brother''s financial support, it should be better than staying in the United States." Li Chunqiu said slowly. Xia Yu also immediately said: "Brother, my Taiji Pharmaceutical Company is determined to integrate Western medicine to make Chinese medicine advance with the times. You happen to be an expert in this area, so I would like to invite you to serve as the general manager of Taiji Pharmaceutical. " Master''s persuasion, coupled with Xia Yu''s direct loss of the position of general manager of the company, really shocked Wang Haoyun. Fortunately, he likes to engage in scientific research, and he is constrained by funds and other aspects in the United States. Now as long as you join Xia Yu''s company, you definitely don''t have to worry about scientific research funds. This is very attractive to researchers. On the contrary, although Xia Yu''s general manager position is attractive, it is not what he wants. Wang Haoyun thought for a while, and decisively decided to come back to help Xia Yu. He looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said: "Junior brother, I will help you, but I prefer scientific research. I don''t have the ability and energy to serve as general manager. You are the general manager. Still please be smart." Wang Haoyun¡¯s postponement made Xia Yugao take a look and happily said, ¡°Well, brother, you are responsible for all the research and development of Taiji Pharmaceuticals.¡± With Wang Haoyun, who is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, who happens to be an elite who is engaged in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, Xia Yu is relieved of the research department of Tai Chi Pharmaceuticals and solved his troubles Once Wang Haoyun joined, Xia Yu only You only need to find a managerial talent to run the company, which is much less difficult. Although Wang Haoyun looked elegant, but after deciding on one thing, he acted vigorously and flew back to the United States the next day, ready to move everything back. At the same time, Xia Yu also commissioned Korn Ferry International to recruit a senior executive with management experience in pharmaceutical companies and talents in pharmaceutical retail. Five days later, Zhang Gufeng, hired from a Southeast Asian pharmaceutical company, served as the general manager of Taiji Pharmaceutical, in charge of business and personnel departments. Wang Haoyun, who came back again, served as deputy general manager, directly in charge of the scientific research department, and was responsible for building a drug research center from scratch. Wang Bowen, who was an executive in the Xiangjiang Chinese herbal medicine market, was dug over and served as the deputy general manager of Taiji Pharmaceutical Company and the general manager of the subsidiary Yangshengtang, responsible for the construction of Yangshengtang from scratch. In this way, the foundation of Tai Chi Pharmaceutical is officially established! v3 Chapter 1: This book "I really didnt want to be reborn" The new book written by my friend, he wrote better than me.

"Om" Suddenly, the thunder light condensed and turned into a nine-se divine thunder, which came from above the nine-sky galaxy. In an instant, the night changed to daylight, and the thunder had not yet fallen, the earth had already begun to rumbling, shaking violently. First release m.33xs Can be the nine-se divine thunder, and the moment of contact with the mainland, it did not cause terrible damage, and disappeared out of thin air. Om.33xs33xs27427483513523190.html At the same time, the earth was once again shrouded in night se, and the bright night sky was also dimmed a lot, as if some kind of Jinghua had been pulled away, and the calmness of the ri was restored. But at this moment, the old man¡¯s eyes are extremely bright, and even his excited body is shaking. His fingers are where the thunder fell: "In Qingzhou, all the sons who descended tonight, bring me back to the imperial city." "Yes!" The thunderous answer resounded across the sky. Tens of thousands of imperial city masters went to Qingzhou, vowing to find the divine body for the imperial dynasty to use. Time passed, five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Although people still remember the shocking scene that year, no one knows what the dynasty did. Continent of Kyushu, Qingzhou, there are many sects, and Qinglongzong is one of them. Today ri, it is the Qinglongzong once every year, recruiting disciples'' ri, outside the Qinglongzong, there are many people. But at this time, the most busy people are the outer disciples, and all the receptions of the sect are all pressed on their heads. Outer disciple, it is a thankless job, let alone the low status in the sect, even outsiders look down on them. The reason is very simple. Anyone who is an outside disciple shows that the qualifications are extremely poor, and it is difficult for them to achieve too much in their life, so they are naturally despised. "Hey, what is your attitude, do you know who I am?" A gorgeously dressed woman, with a boy, pointed at a teenager and rebuked loudly. "I''m really sorry, it''s too late, the sect is about to close, and the two of you should come again." The youth''s delicate face was still immature, but there was a touch of heroism between his brows. His name is Chu Feng, he is fifteen years old this year, and he is one of the tens of thousands of outer disciples of the Qinglong Sect. But the same outer disciple, this Chu Feng is different. There is no inferior inferiority, no sinking of self-willingness and depravity, and he is not afraid of everyone, and is calm and comfortable. "Mingri come again, do you treat me as an idiot? Where do you let our mother and son live in this deep mountain and wild mountain?" #M33xs27427483513523190.html "You have to arrange a place for me, or I will go to your elders to reason." The woman didn''t want to forgive, and she grabbed Chu Feng by the skirt of his clothes. "Brother Chu Feng, are you in trouble?" But at this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded. fixed her eyes, a purple-clothed girl was coming. Although there was a smile at the corner of her mouth, her sharp eyes were staring at the woman. Seeing the girl, the woman''s face changed drastically, and a strong sense of fear emerged. It''s not because of anything else, but because of the purple robe on the girl, which is the sign of the inner disciple. First release m.33xs The woman yelled badly. She thought her identity could make things difficult for the boy in front of her. How can I think that this inconspicuous young man has an inner disciple as the backstage, which is something she can''t afford. "It''s okay, I''m just asking this little brother about something." The woman explained with a smile. The girl glared at her first, and then only said one word: "Go away." At this moment, the woman''s body trembled, her face turned blue. But she didn''t hesitate, led the boy and walked away quickly. In a panic, she even fell a somersault and was extremely embarrassed. Seeing this, Chu Feng shook his head helplessly, and then saluted the girl beside him: "Thank you, Senior Sister Chu Yue." "You are polite with me, we are a family." Chu Yue was a little unhappy. She was right. Chu Feng and she are indeed a family. They come from the same family, the Chu family. This Chu Yue is the cousin of Chu Feng''s second uncle''s family, only one year older than Chu Feng. However, Chu Yue had passed the Inner Sect assessment three years ago and became an Inner Sect disciple, and now she is a master of the Fourth Level of Lingwu. "Zongmen rules are always to be followed." Chu Feng smiled brilliantly. #M.33xs33xs27427483513523190.html "Hey" But looking at Chu Feng like this, Chu Yue felt sour: "Brother Chu Feng, don''t you participate in this year''s Inner Sect assessment? Haven''t you reached the third level of Lingwu?" Chu Feng did not answer, there was still a smile on his face, no one knew what he meant. Seeing this, Chu Yue took a kit from her waist and put it in Chu Feng''s hand: "Refining it, maybe it can help you break through the triple." The fastest updated mobile terminal: m.33xs Chu Feng opened the kit, and suddenly a powerful aura radiated out, and a finger-sized, crystal-clear fairy grass was lying down in it. "Sister Chu Yue, this is too expensive, I can''t ask for it." Chu Feng hurriedly returned it to Chu Yue. Immortal Spirit Grass is the holy medicine for martial arts, extremely precious, and has endless effects on martial artists within the spirit martial realm. And in order for them to quickly improve their cultivation, the Chu family subsidized each of them a fairy grass every year. I wanted to come to Chu Yue, but it was also subsidized by the family, but Chu Yue didn''t enjoy it, but instead gave it to him. This moved Chu Feng and couldn''t bear to accept it. "If I tell you, just take it, or it''s not my brother." Chu Yue was a little unhappy. "Oh, when did Sister Chu Yue become so generous, and the fairy grass is going to be given away?" "Look, I am also your younger brother, and it just so happens that I will break through the fourth level of Lingwu recently. How about sister Chu Yue sending me this fairy grass?" A young man of the same age as Chu Feng came over, wearing the costume of an inner disciple. His name is Chu Zhen, and he also comes from the Chu family. Five years ago, he joined the Azure Dragon Sect with Chu Feng, but he had become an inner disciple two years ago. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https:// "Chu Zhen, you have already broken through the three levels of Lingwu, successfully condensing aura, even without this fairy grass, you can rise up." "But Brother Chu Feng has not yet condensed spiritual energy, this fairy grass is even more important to him." Chu Yue forced the fairy grass into Chu Feng''s hands. "Yes, you are right, but unfortunately he doesn''t accept your love." Chu Zhen spread his hands and sneered. "Who said I don''t want it." However, Chu Feng smiled slightly and unceremoniously took the fairy grass into his arms, and then said: "Sister Chu Yue, I borrowed this fairy grass from you. It will be doubled back." "Well, good." Chu Yue was already overjoyed when Chu Feng accepted it. She just responded casually and didn''t even think that Chu Feng would pay her back. Please remember the first issue and domain name three "What are you going to pay? This fairy grass is a waste for you to use." However, it looks really ugly. Chu Feng smiled and ignored him, but said to Chu Yue, "Sister Chu Yue, I will participate in this year''s Inner Sect Assessment." "Huh, it''s up to you? If you can pass the internal assessment, I will give you the fairy grass subsidized by the family this year." Chu Zhen looked at Chu Feng contemptuously. "Is this true?" Chu Feng didn''t believe it. "Sister Chu Yue testified, but what if you can''t pass?" First release of m.33xs "Then my fairy grass this year will belong to you." Chu Feng left these words and continued to devote himself to the work of the outer disciple. "Chu Zhen, we are all a family, why are you always embarrassed by Chu Feng?" Chu Yue looked at Chu Zhen displeased. "A family? Sister Chu Yue, you should know that this Chu Feng is not my Chu family at all." "After entering the sect for five years and failing the inner sect assessment, it is simply a shame to my Chu family." "The whole Chu family Which one likes him? It''s just that you are so kind to him that you even gave him your own fairy grass." Chu Zhen was puzzled. "You are really stubborn." Chu Yue was a little angry, and after glaring at him, she walked away. Chu Zhen stood there and smiled. He was very happy. Although Chu Yue didn''t get the fairy grass, he knew that Chu Feng''s fairy grass this year must belong to him. At night, the place where the outer disciples rest is completely dark. After a busy day, everyone was very tired and fell asleep early. Only Chu Feng''s room was still lit. He sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the fairy grass that Chu Yue gave him, and whispered: "I hope this fairy grass can feed you." #M.33xs33xs27427483513523190.html After ¡¡¡¡, Chu Feng closed his eyes, sandwiched the fairy grass between his palms, and squeezed out a peculiar magic decision.

At the same time, Chu Feng¡¯s dantian heard chewing sounds, as if something was eating. If you look through your skin, you can find that there is a ball of thunder and lightning in the depths of Chu Feng''s dantian. This group of thunder and lightning is divided into nine se, each of which looks like a behemoth of thunder, exuding a terrifying aura that does not belong to this world. Shura God of War: 33xs274274835 M.33xs33xs274274835 v3 Chapter 655: Thunder domineering When Xia Yu was running for the pharmaceutical industry, the good news of Rothschild & Sons Co., Ltd. finally came. In the hands of Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick, a total of 415 shares of Jardine Machinery Group were acquired. Subsequently, the equity was transferred to Tiangong Group by Xia Yu. For this, Xia Yu paid a total of 600 million Hong Kong dollars. The equity in the hands of Claude Keswick was acquired by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. a day earlier, at a cost of HK$310 million. In this way, the entire equity of the Jardine Machinery Group, Xia Yu, received his pocket, but only paid a price of HK$1.522 billion. The price is not high, it can be said that it is excellent value for money. Although Jardine Machinery Group is an unlisted company, the Keswick family wanted to raise the price as much as possible in the face of the acquisition, so it deliberately revealed that Xia Yu was acquiring. But it was completely different from what the Keswick family imagined. Although they deliberately leaked the news, no Cheng Yaojin appeared, which had to disappoint them extremely. But think about it, Xia Yu is now in full swing. Some time ago, there was a case of Land Group being acquired. No one in Xiangjiang was willing to offend Xia Yu for the impossible acquisition of the Jardine Machinery Group. The Keswick family spread the news with such a big fanfare, but it conveyed another important meaning. That is, the Keswick family is selling their assets on a large scale, preparing for the whole family to launch Xiangjiang. Although the Keswick family''s most valuable Land Group was acquired, the second most valuable Jardine Machinery Group was also being acquired by Xia Yu. But there are still many companies and assets with value. Many people are staring at this part of the asset. When the news came out that the Jardine Machinery Group was wholly-owned by Xia Yu, the news was confirmed again, and the tycoons who were ready could no longer hold back. They visited the Keswick family one after another, just to buy part of the assets in the hands of the Keswick family. For a time, the Keswick family was crowded, and they didn''t know if they should be happy or sad. But these things have nothing to do with Xia Yu. Two of the most valuable companies of the Keswick family were acquired by him, although there are still some companies, such as Maxim''s Catering Group, Ego Property, and Jardine Investment. But these are either inconsistent with Xia Yu''s strategy, or the business has overlapped, and it no longer appears to be that important, and there is no need to waste precious funds. Furthermore, most of the assets of the Jardine Consortium were eaten by him, so he had to save some soup for others to drink, so as not to be targeted by everyone. Although he is not afraid, but there is no need to lose popularity. Therefore, after the acquisition of the Jardine Machinery Group, Xia Yu devoted himself to the acquisition and spin-off of the group, so as to better put the business on the right track quickly and quickly. When he went to the Jardine Machine Group, Xia Yu brought a German, Colin Heist, who had served as an executive in the international sales department of Siemens in Germany. He has strong marketing and management capabilities and has a good network. Colin Hyster is also the general manager of Tiangong Electric Co., Ltd. Colin Heist was willing to quit because he knew that Xia Yu was acquiring the Jardine Machine Group and told him that Tiangong Electric Co., Ltd. would merge the Jardine Electronic Manufacturing Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Jardine Machine Group. From a senior executive of a company to a general manager of a company, this is a transformation of identity and a new challenge. Colin Heist is highly motivated. In addition to Colin Heist, Xia Yu also brought standard accounting firms, elites from standard law firms, and police The group soon arrived at the headquarters of the Jardine Machine Group, and all the senior executives stood downstairs to greet them respectfully. As for the Keswick family, none of them came, and they didn''t want to see the scene of Ge Ying. After seeing the presence of the police in Xia Yu''s group, many people''s expressions changed with guilty conscience, and a bad premonition rose in their hearts. "Good morning boss" "Ok" Looking across the faces of the executives, Xia Yu nodded blankly, and then let someone lead the way, and everyone went to the meeting room together. Before coming, Xia Yu had done his homework and was able to recognize who most of the people were, but he still asked everyone to introduce themselves. After a round of introductions, Xia Yu glanced blankly, seeing everyone panicking. His eyes finally settled on the general manager of Jardine Electronics Manufacturing Company, one of the seven wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jardine Machinery Group. The general manager of Jardine Electronics Manufacturing Company is a 56-year-old British named Lewis Lenson. In Xia Yu¡¯s business investigations, Lewis Lenson is a very capable person, but he likes to satiate his pockets. The people of Claude Keswick. Facing the Jardine Machine Group with different circumstances, Xia Yu is ready to go uncharacteristically today. The new official took office with three bags and wanted to find out if he had his own, and then brought them back and destroyed them. After seeing what happened just now, how can they not know what is inside Although many people comfort themselves in their hearts, it is impossible to discover what they do, but with lessons learned, they dare not have absolute certainty. Not to mention the ending of Lewis Lenson being taken away by the police, it''s just as hard as Horton Jewell. After that, Xia Yu cut the mess quickly and quickly arranged some work, so that the standard accounting firm and the standard law firm took over the accounting and contracts of the Jardine Machine Group. He announced the end of the meeting and called Xu Feiyang to the office. Looking at Xu Feiyang, who was neither sitting nor standing, Xia Yu showed a smile. "Sit down, don''t be so nervous." "Thank you boss for caring, I am not nervous" Xu Feiyang pretended to say calmly, but his erratic eyes showed the agitation and anxiety in his heart. "Although we haven''t seen it before, I have a certain understanding of you. I think you have the ability to hold the position of general manager. I hope you don''t let me down" Xia Yu said seriously. "Boss rest assured, I will do my best to do my best" Xu Feiyang raised his head and chested out and responded loudly. "Ok" "I''ve given you a chance. Can you sit still in this position? It depends on your own performance" Xia Yu nodded slightly. "Yes" Before coming, Xia Yu had already investigated the situation of the Yihe Machinery Group. There was a reason why he came with the thunder and domineering force on the first day and held high the butcher knife. That''s because the Jardine Machine Group is an old asset of the Keswick family. There have been relatively big problems in internal management, the management has begun to corrupt, and many of them are closely related to the Keswick family. What Xia Yu needs is a healthy Yihe Machine Group that can accompany government orders, so he has to be ruthless. In fact, most of the documents in the document bag just now had no documents, no matter how Xia Yu checked it, it was impossible to find out everyone''s black material in a short time. But he knew that many people were not clean. So he is cheating If everything is clear, there are definitely not a few clean, according to his attitude, all have to be replaced. But replacing everyone at the same time, the entire Jardine Machine Group will be instantly paralyzed. After he acquired the Jardine Machine Group, it was collectively called Tiangong Machine Group, but it was not for the prodigal. So after thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to kill the chicken and the monkey as soon as he came, and instantly establish his prestige. I believe that everyone has a knife hanging on their heads. If you leave your job, you will definitely not dare to resign, because if you are held by Xia Yu, you will be taken away by the police if you leave. Therefore, working hard and striving to make up for the benefits is the only way out. , Which will greatly stimulate their enthusiasm for work. Wait until the time is right, and then continue to replace personnel, until Xia Yu thinks it is possible to stop. Moreover, in the face of major personnel adjustments, no one can turn up any storms and will not cause losses to the Tiangong Machinery Group. At that time, Tiangong Machinery Group will have its second spring, and it will be able to truly follow Xia Yu''s development plan and route and grow into a large international enterprise. In the office, Xia Yu stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the busy scene downstairs, his eyes blurred, and he muttered, "In addition to Tiangong Group needs a large number of talents, other companies are also short of talents. My future expansion will be the same. A talent pool is needed, otherwise it will be seriously delayed." "It seems that I must have a stable talent supply channel" Most of the time, UU Reading Xia Yu uses Korn Ferry International''s Xiangjiang branch to recruit talents. However, the Hong Kong branch of Korn Ferry International was only established in early 1978, and the talent information reserve database in Southeast Asia is not too complete. Not to mention the other three headhunting companies, none of them are as hardworking as Korn Ferry. At this time, there are no branches in Xiangjiang. So Xia Yu has to wait for a while every time he needs talent. It is not a problem to count on Korn Ferry International. After all, the capital of Korn Ferry International is limited. If it wants to deploy globally, the funds allocated to Korn Ferry will be small. It is difficult for Korn Ferry International to develop rapidly. So it was destined not to keep up with Xia Yu''s footsteps. For this reason, Xia Yu can only do it himself. It is best to set up a headhunting company to transform the achievements of others for decades into his own talent pool, and then continue to establish his own talent training system.

After turning the last page, Xia Yu dropped the folder on the table disappointedly, leaning on the chair, closing his eyes and thinking. "Xia Yu, isn''t there a suitable acquisition target?" Li Qian walked closely behind Xia Yu, gently massaged his temples, and asked softly. Xia Yu enjoyed it, and he was reluctant to open his eyes. He sighed and said, "No, there is no headhunting company that can help me in Hong Kong or Southeast Asia. This industry has high barriers to invisibility and heavy workload. , Is destined to develop slowly." "Almost all headhunting companies in Asia are collected here, and almost all of them will follow the same star. Under this circumstance, American International Satellite Corporation is already manufacturing a communications satellite for which there is no clear customer. After the order was placed on Global Television, the satellite was directly marked with the name of Global Television. In addition, most of this communication satellite has been manufactured, and the American International Satellite Company has given a clear answer. It will be able to fully complete the order of Global Television within one and a half months and launch the satellite into the air. Suddenly there was such a big progress, which completely disrupted the initial plan. But this is a good thing, so Huang Xizhao immediately reported to Xia Yu and asked for some work. Xia Yu and Huang Xizhao sat face to face in Universal Television Building, Chairman''s Office. "It is a good thing to be able to star TV stations faster, but the most important thing is to use this benefit as much as possible." "How about the preparations for the International English Channel, International Chinese Channel, and Entertainment Channel?" Xia Yu first gave a positive attitude, and then asked in a deep voice. He had arranged for Huang Xizhao to do this job before. If Universal Television became popular as a satellite TV station, and the channel had not been created, it would be a waste of time. Huang Xizhao also knew the seriousness, and immediately said: "Chairman, the channel staff is almost ready for the preparations. Now the focus is on the full program. It takes one and a half months. Not to mention that each program is high-quality, but at the very least. The above is still confident." "This is the tentative program, please have a look." He had already prepared a detailed list and handed it to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu saw it, he smiled and nodded affirmatively: "Not bad!" Not waiting for Huang Xizhao to be happy, Xia Yu''s turn made Huang Xizhao''s heart hang slightly again. "However, the entertainment channel programs are thinner. The most important thing is that the entertainment channel is directly on the stars. Facing the entire Southeast Asia, the entertainment channel must assume greater responsibility for attracting new users. Although your programs are good, you can only To a certain extent." Huang Xizhao frowned and thought. For a long time, he nodded, with a look of ashamed expression: "Chairman, I didn''t think about it well. I will reimagine a program when I go back and try to be the most classic." Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "I''ll talk about it later, is Chen Shufen there? Let her come up." "Yes, I''ll call her over now, wait a moment." After Huang Xizhao finished speaking, he immediately went downstairs and called Chen Shufen. After a while, Huang Xizhao and Chen Shufen came together. "Hello, Chairman!" "Sit down and say!" "How is the brokerage company''s business location?" After letting Chen Shufen sit down, Xia Yu asked. Chen Shufen immediately picked up his spirits, sorted out his thoughts, and reported truthfully: "Chairman, although Shaw Brothers and Jiahe have both established brokerage companies, our global brokerage company is the largest and most professional. I have done statistics before. In the artist agency industry, our company occupies 80% of the market, and the remaining 20% ??does not occupy it. It is also because Shaw Brothers and Jiahe used the next three methods to strictly prohibit their artists from having contact with us." "But although Shaw Brothers and Jiahe have been imitating us, they are limited by the overall strength of the group and cannot tap the commercial price of artists at all." "Now the company has six s-level contract artists, 29 a-level contract artists, and 82 b-level contract artists...including film and television..." "Signed singers sell their records through the production and sale of another Universal Records company under the TV station..." Xia Yu knows the company of Universal Music. In the past life, Universal Music was famous, but now, Universal Music has not yet been established. In the previous life, Universal Music was formed by a music department of Universal Pictures, which merged with Polygram Records in 1998 to form Universal Music. So now it can be successfully registered by Huang Xizhao and listed under the banner of Universal TV. According to Chen Shufen, at this time, in the Chinese recording market of Hong Kong, more than six floors were occupied by Polygram Records The second place was Shaw Music Company. The newly established Universal Music Company had a narrow gap. Ranked third, occupying a 1.5-tier market. This achievement is due to the fact that Huang Zhan, one of the four great talents who is good at composing, originally signed an economic contract with Universal Brokerage, and also digs up Gu Jiahui from wireless. With these two great gods, Universal Music has grown by leaps and bounds. With Huihuang Ersheng in hand, the little gap with Shaw''s music company can be wiped out instantly, and it will attack Polygram''s dominance. "Very good, it didn''t disappoint me!" "Calling you over this time is related to a major TV station project. If it is done, Universal Television will be well-known in Asia, and Universal Music will easily surpass Shaw''s music company." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Huang Xizhao and Chen Shufen''s eyes lit up. The chairman''s handwriting has never disappointed! Unparalleled amazing results can be achieved every time!

Because users also need to spend money to install satellite signal receivers, the best way is to let them The user has a reason to install." "It''s definitely impossible to do this with TV dramas and other entertainment shows." Huang Xizhao and Chen Shufen nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xia Yu''s statement. "So I envisioned this program to be for the general public and allow the general public to participate in it. Some people can earn both fame and fortune through our program. Even if the probability is small, users will not hesitate to spend some money to install satellites. Signal receiver." "This show is a music talent show, I call it "Super Girl"!" Speaking of this, a glint flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and in his mind he remembered the frenzy created by Mango Terrace in his previous life, as well as the amazing influence and benefits. "Popular Music Audition?" ""Super Girl"?" Huang Xizhao and Chen Shufen murmured seemingly. Seeing the two people wondering, Xia Yu stopped selling Guanzi, took out the program planning book that had been prepared a long time ago, and gave it to Huang Xizhao. Huang Xizhao couldn''t wait to take over and read it. In fact, in order to make Universal Television''s development better and better, Xia Yu prepared a lot of program plans based on the memory of his previous life, and only a small part of it was given to Huang Xizhao. The reason why Xizhao has not been given to Huang Xizhao is that Xia Yu also considers those Da, Chen Baiqiang, Zhang Chengrong, Chen Jieling and others, and are still tracking Tan Yonglin, Zhen Ni and others. At this time, Chen Shufen seems to have seen the scene where Universal Records will push Polygram Records underneath in the future and dominate the Xiangjiang and even the Asian music market! For a long time, Huang Xizhao reluctantly put down the program planning, and excitedly said to Xia Yu, "Chairman, your program is really great. It will definitely create a trend. Our Global TV station will definitely be able to make a name in Southeast Asia!" "My admiration for you is like the waters of the Pacific Ocean..." Faced with Huang Xizhao''s rainbow fart, Xia Yu smiled faintly, and interrupted his emotion by raising his hand, "Okay, let''s talk less, let''s talk about business first." "I have written very detailed about this program plan recently. You wait for the establishment of a program group immediately, so that you can fully understand the essence of the entire program. You must not be stingy in the early publicity. The more people know the better." "The audition stage must be as fair as possible and expand the influence as much as possible!" "As long as they participate in the audition, at least the contestants and their families want to know their performance and results, and also want to know the results of other people, which requires the installation of satellite signal receivers." "When someone comes to the fore, naturally there will be fans. The more fans there are, the better the satellite signal receivers will be sold. The ratings and influence of Universal Television will be greater. After the final decision is made, Universal Music''s background will also be It will be stronger." "These influences are all linked together, and the source of publicity and quality control are the top priorities. They all lie in Universal Television. You must not lose the chain!" At the end, Xia Yu''s expression was very serious, which made Huang Xizhao''s heart startle. "The chairman can rest assured, I know the stakes, and I will not lose the chain. If there is a mistake, I will resign immediately!" Huang Xizhao issued a military order loudly. "I remember your words!" "Good job, this year''s bonus will not be less!" Xia Yu hit a stick and gave another sweet jujube, and Huang Xizhao''s eyes became firmer. "Chen Shufen, do your best to cooperate with Huang Xizhao, the brokerage team has expanded again, and seize this opportunity!" "Chairman, I will do my best!" "Very well, do you have any questions?" "No!" "Then go down first, hurry up, and tell me if you have any problems." ... After staying on Global TV for a while, Xia Yu immediately went to Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and ordered Colin Hyster to suspend the plan to establish the "Tangong" brand, and purchase the production line of satellite signal receivers as quickly as possible. Patent and production in three shifts 24 hours a day. Later, Xia Yu called Song Hai, the general manager of Jiuding Electric Retail Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiuding Retail Group, and learned that Jiuding Electric had selected locations in Southeast Asia to establish electrical retail headquarters. Xia Yu directly asked him to speed up the pace, and must have three appliance retail stores in Southeast Asian countries within one month, and the first-line sales team and installation team must be equipped. Amidst the busy schedule, time flies quickly, and a week passed by. The consulting report from Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch gave Xia Yu a lift.

Of course, it is not a wholly-owned acquisition, but a part of the equity to become an important shareholder. Even part of the equity is enough to make Xia Yu happy. Moreover, this company that can become a shareholder is Korn Ferry International, which will rank first in the world''s headhunting industry in the future. It is also the company Xia Yu most wants to invest in. Leaving aside the future prospects, the talent pool of Korn Ferry International is the most suitable for Xia Yu. It not only focuses on the level of ordinary executives and Fortune 500 directors, but also develops middle management. Level of hunting and hiring business. The employees at the bottom can grab a handful of employees. If a large company wants to develop well, it lacks mid-to-high-end talents. Korn Ferry can meet Xia Yu''s requirements. Moreover, Korn Ferry International was also the first to establish a branch in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu is also very familiar with him. If he can become a major shareholder of the parent company of Korn Ferry, the Xiangjiang branch can be classified as his territory, which will greatly help him. With anticipation, Xia Yu patiently read the two consultation reports, and a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes. When he saw the otc transaction, he understood why Korn Ferry International had not yet been listed, and part of the equity would have flowed out. The source of everything was in 1972, which is seven years ago. Korn Ferry International is the former two heads of KPMG¡¯s West Coast headhunting department, Lester Cohen, and Richard Ferry, founded in 1969 on the West Coast of the United States. It has the spirit of "Western Cowboy" and pioneered in newspapers. Headhunting companies advertise, this strategy has enabled Korn Ferry to rise rapidly. However, because of this publicity expenditure, the faster Korn Ferry International grew and the larger the publicity expenditure, the company has not been profitable since its establishment. Until 1972, Lester Cohen, one of the two founders, was in desperate need of money, so he traded 25% of the shares in the OTC market in the United States. Investment company bought it. When it comes to stock trading, most people think of stock exchanges. However, you must know that over a hundred years ago, otc over-the-counter trading has appeared. This type of trading has no fixed venue, no prescribed membership, no strict controllable rules and systems, and even no prescribed trading products and restrictions. It is mainly a one-to-one transaction between counterparties through private negotiation. When it first appeared, because investors at the time could only buy and sell stocks at the counters of the salesrooms opened by securities companies and banks, the over-the-counter market and over-the-counter trading were also named, and the over-the-counter market was officially another name for otc. Closer to home. The 25% of the equity that flowed out of Leicester Cohen in 1972 has also changed hands twice in the past seven years. At this time, it was held by a large financial investment company on Wall Street. Both Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch expressed their confidence to help Xia Yu complete the acquisition of this equity. In fact, after reading the consulting reports given by the two companies, Xia Yu knew that the acquisition problem was not big. After all, he was very clear about the nature of Wall Street financial companies. As long as the US dollar is in place, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Now if Jiuding Securities is asked to come to the door, he will be sure to acquire the equity. However, due to lack of contacts and influence, even if Jiuding Securities can complete the task, it will take a long time and may be slaughtered. This is not acceptable to Xia Yu Instead, the two Wall Street giants, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, came forward, but it was easy. Spend a little money to get equity early and securely, which is absolutely value-for-money. Therefore, Xia Yu immediately contacted Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. After a comparison, Xia Yu chose Merrill Lynch as his partner in this acquisition. No way. At this time, Merrill Lynch was stronger than Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch had a very close relationship with that financial company, so it offered Xia Yu a lower price. On the premise that the success rate can be guaranteed, of course, choose the cheaper one. This is the rule in the business field. The skills are not as good as others. Goldman Sachs has nothing to say, and can only look forward to Xia Yu and Xia Yu''s cooperation. Merrill Lynch is very efficient. Eight days later, 25% of the shares of Korn Ferry International went to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu paid a price of $25 million. After all, Korn Ferry International is not listed, and for the sake of development, it has been in a state of loss, so the value is not very high. Xia Yu didn''t know how much profit Merrill Lynch made from it, and he didn''t care. I still remember the previous life, after Korn Ferry was listed in the market value of several billion U.S. dollars, now even if you include Merrill Lynch¡¯s handling fee, based on the valuation of 100 million U.S. dollars, there is still a few times the increase. Such a large profit margin is a good investment for Xia Yu, not to mention that this investment will strengthen his career. After the equity was acquired, Xia Yu entrusted Wang Qi to fly to the west coast of the United States to represent him to attend the shareholders meeting after the shareholder change. Because Korn Ferry has not yet been listed and has never raised funds, the shareholder information is very simple. A company has three shareholders in total. Respectively, co-founder Richard Ferry holds 49% of the shares and is now the largest shareholder. The second largest shareholder is the other founder Lester Cohen, who holds 26%. Originally, Lester Cohen was the largest shareholder holding 51% of the shares. However, he sold so much equity and therefore gave up the chairmanship. In the end, it was Xia Yu, who was only one percent away from Leicester Cohen. Although Xia Yu was last, Richard Ferry and Lester Cohen wore the same pair of pants. But the two also knew Xia Yuming''s strong face, and did not want to offend Xia Yu too much. In addition, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi¡¯s request to have great benefits to Korn Ferry International. Therefore, after some discussions, the head office decided to increase its efforts to develop the Asian market and adjust the original headquarters in Singapore to Hong Kong. For the Asian headquarters. Korn Ferry International Xiangjiang Branch accepts the leadership of the parent company, but Xia Yu also has the right to manage it. After confirming, Xia Yu immediately summoned the general manager of Korn Ferry International Xiangjiang Branch and his old friend Robert Joyce. For his first major customer to become one of his bosses ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Robert Joyce also fell into a mess for a while, but fortunately he quickly recognized the facts. After that, the Korn Ferry International branch received a large amount of resources invested by the parent company. One of the new bosses Xia Yu gave him instructions and drew a huge pie. Robert Joyce enthusiastically invested in recruiting talents for Xia Yu. In his great cause. A weakness in his career is beginning to make up, and Xia Yu feels more relaxed. It''s just that there are always people in this world who don''t want Xia Yu to live a leisurely life. An overseas phone call from London destroyed Xia Yu''s good mood. The call was made by Hua Shengshi, who was buying antiques for him. Someone was secretly trying to kill Hua Shengshi or Xia Yu behind him as a fat sheep, and he was vicious and sinister. After hearing what Huashengshi said, Xia Yu was annoyed The tiger doesn¡¯t show off his might, he really treats him as a heokitty The most powerful hero of rebirth The fastest update, please bookmark () for reading without pop-up window. v3 Chapter 659: Animal head and ready to smash the plate "... Mr. Hua, you will temporarily stop purchasing antiques and collect antique information with all your strength, and then wait for my news!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu''s face was cold, his eyes flickered. After thinking for a while, he made two phone calls and called Elena and Wu Hongyi respectively, asking them to help mobilize contacts to assist in the investigation. Immediately afterwards, he mobilized his own power and connections to collect information on Sotheby''s auction house and the Eskenazi family. Although Xia Yu¡¯s memory contains related memories of these two families, after a few decades, he can¡¯t remember so much. It is inevitable that there are some discrepancies. In order to make the most correct judgments and decisions, he needs the most detailed intelligence. In the next day, more and more information came to Xia Yu. The more he knew, the more cold Xia Yu''s eyes became. ... Eskenazy Ltd., 166 Piccadilly, London, UK. Forty-year-old Giuseppe Eskenazi listened to the report of his subordinates, frowning gradually. Giuseppe Eskenazi has been in contact with antiques since he was a child, and after the death of his father Isaac at the age of 28, he took over the family''s business in Britain. Under his leadership, the Eskenazi family who fled from Turkey to Milan, Italy, the family business is booming year after year, and the Eskenazi Co., Ltd. has become one of the largest antique dealers in Europe. And now the focus of the family has shifted to England, and the burden of the family has also shifted from the shoulders of Uncle Victorio to him. As a shrewd Jew, Giuseppe Eskenazi has an extremely keen business sense and has a viper-like patience. It is precisely because of this that he has successively explored the American art market and the island art market, and more It has made a huge influence in the European art market. After the island country artwork, he once again focused on a target, that is, China antique art! As a top European art dealer, Eskenazi Co., Ltd. is well-informed, so Giuseppe Eskenazi has gradually learned that someone is buying cultural relics and artworks from China in large quantities. A few years ago, he happened to have been to Huaxia and visited many museums in Huaxia. He had a deep impression of Huaxia. But he also knows China''s economic level, and Eskenazi Co., Ltd. has limited funds. Considering that good steel needs to be used on the blade, he invested resources in developing the island country''s art market. Until this year, he learned that China has changed tremendously and has announced reform and opening up to develop its economy. After accidentally learning that someone had purchased China cultural relics and artworks in large quantities, he realized that he could start to test the layout. Since the last century, the Eskenazi family''s collection library has collected nearly 6,000 Chinese cultural relics. It is only because of China¡¯s economic situation and the overall economic level of the Chinese that the price of China¡¯s cultural relics on the market is generally not high, so the Eskenazi family rarely sells them and focuses on slaughtering the prosperous islanders. Above. However, as long as you follow the same method as the island country''s art and raise the price of Chinese cultural relics, the 6,000 Chinese cultural relics collected by the Eskenazi family will be a big gold mine. In order to realize his plan, Giuseppe Eskenazi found a close relationship, now the largest auction house in Europe and the largest auction house in the world, Sotheby''s Auction House! The annual Sotheby''s summer auction is about to begin. After a secret discussion, Eskenazy Co., Ltd. will provide a batch of Chinese cultural relics, which will be managed by Sotheby''s auction house, creating a wave of speculation about Chinese cultural relics. As long as the plan is successful, the Eskenazi family will reap huge benefits, and Sotheby''s auction house, as the auctioneer, will also open up new markets and obtain greater benefits. Not only did it work in this regard, Giuseppe Eskenazi also allowed people to compete with Huashengshi for Chinese cultural relics, not only to purchase a batch of Chinese cultural relics, but also to raise the price of Chinese cultural relics in the competition. It¡¯s just that the subordinates now report that Huashengshi has given up competing with them and no longer buys Huaxia cultural relics. This situation went beyond Giuseppe Eskenazi¡¯s expectations and disrupted his plan to a certain extent. "Implemented according to the original plan, and at the same time sent people to pay close attention to industry news. If anyone buys Huaxia cultural relics, report to me immediately!" Giuseppe Eskenazi sternly told his subordinates. Then he went to Sotheby''s auction house again. ... "Sure enough... I just didn''t expect that he would start doing it at this time. Could it be my butterfly effect?" Jiuding Building, the chairman''s office, after looking through the information provided by all parties, Xia Yu''s eyes were blurred and he thought to himself. Although no detailed plans of Giuseppe Eskenazi were collected, combined with valid information, Xia Yu once again confirmed his guess. The Eskenazi family wants to cut Chinese wool, intending to hoard Chinese cultural relics and speculate in high value. In previous lives, the Eskenazi family did just that, but they were also named one of the most respected Chinese art dealers in the world. And Giuseppe Eskenazi has set many auction records of Chinese cultural relics and art, which shocked the world. For example, in 1999, he bought the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup for 26.5 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a world record for the Ming Dynasty Doucai artifacts. In 2005, he photographed "Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi Downhill Picture Jar" for 15.688 million pounds (approximately RMB 230 million), setting a world record for Chinese artworks. ... In 2009, he photographed the Qing Qianlong gilt bronze jasper buffalo for ¡ê3.4 million, setting a world record for Chinese jade; In 2015, he photographed the first potter of Tang San Caifeng for ¡ê2.725 million, setting a world record for Chinese ceramics in the Tang Dynasty... Outsiders, through Giuseppe Eskenazi¡¯s great efforts, think that he is a lover of Chinese art and is willing to pay money to collect it. But how many people know that under his handwriting, it is the soaring prices of cultural relics and art, as well as the rising revenue of the Eskenazi Co., Ltd. and the soaring family assets of the Eskenazi family? Xia Yu also knew some secrets about the twelve beast heads in Yuanmingyuan. The bull head, monkey head and tiger head that have been repurchased and put in the Poly Art Museum are all taken out by the Eskenazi family in the 1980s and put to Xiangjiang for auctionby Taiwan Province A tycoon bought it, then put it out for auction in the millennium and was auctioned off by Poly Group. Even after ten years, I first used public opinion to hype up the patriotic feelings of the Chinese people. After feeling that the time was right, I took out the rabbit head and the mouse head to auction in Paris, France, but he did not expect a Cai tycoon to smash their wishful thinking. The two animal heads sold a high price of more than 31 million euros, but refused to pay, wanting to pass the auction. In the end, Fran?ois Pinault, the fifth richest man in France and also the largest individual shareholder of Christie¡¯s auction house, bought it and donated it to China in 2013. Because of this, the Eskenazi family managed to make a lot of money. Xia Yu knows these secrets because there is a British tycoon in his memory who has been to the treasure house of the Eskenazi family and met these few Yuanmingyuan beast heads. Even apart from these few, later generations have never been present, and the most significant dragon head is also in the collection of the Eskenazi family. The actions of the Eskenazi family not only annoyed Xia Yu, but also seriously affected Xia Yu''s antique collection plan. The price of Huaxia cultural relics and artworks has been increased, so the cost of his acquisition has increased significantly? Future profits will also drop sharply, which is cutting off Xia Yu''s fortune! In this case, after guessing the plan of the Eskenazi family, how could Xia Yu remain indifferent? The mastermind of the Eskenazi family, accomplices the Sotheby''s auction house! Don''t even bother to run! Thinking of the upcoming Sotheby''s summer shoot, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Want to hype? No doors! I just smashed the plate!

Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 660: 3 aces (2 Xia Yu gave an order, and the shell companies secretly controlled by Bright Fund and Galaxy Fund in the UK began to act, shorting Sotheby''s Auction House and Eskenazi Limited. Sotheby''s auction house is the top ten auction house, surpassing Christie''s auction house by a narrow margin. Among the top ten auction houses, only two auction houses are currently listed, namely the first Sotheby''s auction house and the second Christie''s auction house. The former was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1971. I still remember that it was privatized in 1986 in order to open up the American market and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1988. The latter was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1973. In the 1950s and 1960s, the annual turnover of Sotheby''s auction house was only more than 6 million British capital. The financial report disclosed in 1978 last year showed that the total transaction volume in 1978 reached 230 million pounds, and the annual revenue has reached The annual net profit reached 72 million pounds and the annual net profit reached 25 million pounds. Today Sotheby''s auction house has a market capitalization of 292 million pounds and a price-earnings ratio of 11.68 times. Xia Yu still remembers that in 1980, Sotheby''s auction house became the world''s first auction house to exceed 100 million pounds in revenue. The world''s No. 1 throne will sit until 2012, before being surpassed by Christie''s auction house due to various problems. Xia Yu¡¯s other target, Eskenazi Limited, was listed on the London Stock Exchange last year, and its market value is now floating around 78 million pounds. Fortunately, these two companies are listed, Xia Yu can deal with them better, otherwise there is really no way to talk. The global summer auction held by Sotheby''s Auction House is scheduled to be held on August 10th in the Gregorian calendar, not only in London, but also in New York, the island nation of Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, France and other places on the same day. There are basically two channels for obtaining qualifications to participate in the auction house. One is that Sotheby''s Auction House directly sent invitation letters to invite the rich to participate, and Xiang Xia Yu undoubtedly received the invitation. Another channel is to be able to prove their strength. For example, sellers who provide a certain level of value, or buyers who have passed asset verification, will receive an invitation letter. Xia Yu can go to the Sotheby¡¯s Hong Kong and London auctions. It happened that Elena called to tell him a few days ago that Rolls-Royce Motors had designed two new cars based on the drawings. sample car. In order to better grasp the actions of packing up the two companies, Xia Yu came to the UK again. At the Rolls-Royce Motor Co., Ltd. factory, Xia Yu took Li Qian, and Elena, who was dressed in a glamorous dress, to a separate automotive design laboratory under the leadership of General Manager Rudolph Brooke. The first one I saw was Rolls-Royce''s new car, the new version of the Phantom, and the classic Phantom series, which originally took ten years to come out, but Xia Yu has made it out in advance. "This car looks so beautiful! And without losing its luxurious atmosphere! It feels better than the cars I bought before at home." Women undoubtedly like beautiful things, and always like to look at the appearance at first glance. When looking at the black shiny car in front of them, Li Qian, who is holding Xia Yu, brightened her eyes and exclaimed. Elena''s eyes were full of appreciation: "Although I have watched it several times, but once again, I still feel amazing, giving me an excellent visual impact and enjoyment." "If this car is launched, I believe that not many nobles can refuse." Elena is the daughter of the duke, and her views undoubtedly represent the young aristocracy to a certain extent. Rudolph Brooke had a smile on his face, and his eyes on this car were full of fascination and longing. He seemed to have seen the shock and admiration of the world after it came out. People who can appreciate cars do not necessarily build cars, but people who can build cars must know how to appreciate cars. Perhaps due to ability or inspiration factors, car designers could not design a classic car, but all the designers of Rolls-Royce Motor Company after manufacturing this car based on the design drawings, all agreed that this car is The second most perfect car of this era. As for the second of the most perfect cars, of course, Bentley''s new model. Xia Yu stepped forward, stroked the cold and smooth body, opened the door and looked at the exquisite workmanship inside, with a satisfied smile on his face. Regardless of the car''s parts matching and adjustment issues, just the appearance of the car, this car can definitely surprise the world. Perhaps in the eyes of him, who has experienced countless classic models in later generations, this car is just so-so, but in this era, it is definitely out of the ordinary. You know, this Rolls-Royce Phantom, even after ten years of classic models, can still stand out from the crowd, let alone now. "Rudolph, when will this car be put into mass production?" After reading it, Xia Yu asked the key question. Rudolf Brooke confidently said: "Back to the chairman, this car is now the first version and can be used on the road, but the design team believes that there is room for optimization. The company initially plans to launch this car on January 1, 1980." It is now August 1979, and there are still more than three months left until January 1, 1980. Considering that it will be put into mass production, the time is actually very tight. Doing the math, if it is launched on schedule, the R&D and production cycle of this Rolls-Royce Phantom is only about half a year. Compared with some cars, the R&D cycle is as short as one year or as long as two to three years. However, Xia Yu was not surprised. If he opened the hook for Rolls-Royce Motor Company and the normal procedure was the same, he would not be able to lose this person. The appearance design of a car is actually very time-consuming during the development process, and this problem was directly solved by Xia Yu. As for the hardware configuration and adjustment procedures, it depends on the actual situation. As a luxury car manufacturer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Co., Ltd. has a top-notch automotive laboratory and has amazing technical reserves. Many of these technologies can be directly used. This inherent advantage cannot be made up by ordinary car companies and new companies, and it is also one of the main reasons why Xia Yu acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Company. After all, to build a car, technology is the fundamental. But a car that wants to sell is hot, and the model is a powerful booster. In this world, after all, there are only a few technical controls who understand cars, and Yan control has occupied the mainstream of the world from beginning to end. This is true in most industries! Xia Yu told Rudolf Brooke: "The general-purpose production line must be expanded, and production personnel, especially manual technicians, must be fully equipped, and try not to let output become a constraint on sales." Although Rolls-Royce has always claimed to be made by hand, it is not really the case. This purely hand-made is only for the refined assembly of sheet metal parts such as the body, interior trim, and some parts. As for those mechanical parts, such as wheels, axles, engines, gearboxes, electronic circuits, suspension systems, steering systems, braking systems, and electrical circuits, they are all manufactured in machinery or chemical production. This does not mean to deceive consumers, many consumers also know and understand. This is the case in the entire industry. It¡¯s not impossible that any part is made by hand, but even if it does, it¡¯s definitely just a prototype in the laboratory, or it¡¯s custom-made by the big tyrants at a high price. Cars, mass-produced cars facing the market are absolutely impossible! Rudolf Brooke assured him with a serious face: "The chairman can rest assured that I will not make this mistake. Two new production lines are now being set up." After watching this Rolls-Royce Phantom, Xia Yu traversed more than half of the factory and walked to another design laboratory, where a new Bentley model was placed, but this model was not owned by later generations of Bentley. Model. If a later generation of car professionals see it, he will definitely recognize it. This car is a classic Lexus LS400 from the 1980s. This island country car can be called the most classic car of the 1980s. This car of Toyota Group marks the successful transformation of island country automakers after entering the European and American markets 20 years ago. Directly facing the top luxury car brands in Europe, and it became a hit. This car is not only popular in Europe, but also popular in the United States. In the first year of the Lexus LS400, the sales of this single model in the United States for one year exceeded the overall sales of any European luxury car brand in the United States, including BMW. And Mercedes. Now this model has a brand new name-Bentley Continental. That''s right, Xia Yu was too lazy to name it, so he took the name of the Bentley model that appeared after the 21st century and used it. No one knows anyway, so it''s decided. This European model will be a model of Bentley''s transformation, because its price will no longer be the price of a top luxury car, but a benchmark BMW. The top luxury car brands are equipped with mid-to-high-end prices. This undoubtedly lowers Bentley¡¯s grade. There are some Bentley elderly people inside the company who are unwilling, but they are directly suppressed. For Bentley¡¯s transformation, Xia Yu has been there since the beginning of the acquisition No one can stop it. The economic foundation determines the superstructure. There is not enough market. Those stubborn pride will only make people laugh in the end. Xia Yu knows how the top luxury cars in the previous life collectively fell. I believe that after the launch of this car, it will definitely shock the entire United Kingdom, and many Bentley supporters will be dissatisfied. But Xia Yu doesn''t care about this pain, because he knows that more people will be embraced by Bentley, which is definitely a big profit overall. For most people, Bentley was once unattainable, but now Bentley can be bought at the price of a BMW. How would most people choose? Xia Yu is ready for the explosion of this Bentley Continental. "Rudolph, has the factory and production line of this car started?" Facing Xia Yu¡¯s question, Rudolf Brooke resolutely answered that it is already under construction, but after he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said with some worry: ¡°Chairman, we really want to build an annual output of 200,000 vehicles from the beginning. Is the production line? Will it be too big?" Xia Yu knew Rudolph Brooke was worried. He smiled faintly and said, "It won''t be big. I planned to build a production line of 300,000 vehicles at the beginning. Are there many people in the company worried about this?" Rudolf Brooke nodded and said: "Yes, everyone is very satisfied with this model and believes that this model can be sold well. However, we are still a little worried about setting up a production line of 200,000 units at one time. , Bentley¡¯s annual output is only 5,000." Xia Yu laughed: "Rudolph, you can tell everyone that you don¡¯t have to worry about the company¡¯s problems. Our company is a private company. The shareholders are only Duke Howard and I. We can bear this risk. Your responsibility is to build the company with all your strength. Understand?" Rudolf Brook was silent for a moment, and shrugged with a wry smile: "Chairman, I think I understand!" Since the bosses have stated clearly that they are not afraid of losing money and are willing to gamble, what else can they say? Work hard! "One more thing, before Bentley Continental goes public, offline sales outlets must be laid out and built in strict accordance with 4S standards. As a luxury car, Bentley must give customers the ultimate after-sales service experience." Xia Yu thought for a while and told Rudolph Brook again before leaving. The automobile 4S standard is also one of Xia Yu''s trump cards to Rolls-Royce Motor Company. In this era, the automotive 4S standard did not come out. As long as the Rolls-Royce Motor Company launched it, it would definitely cause a huge sensation and impact the entire industry. This ¡°four-in-one¡± car franchise model includes vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), information feedback, etc. In later generations, because The various cheating performances of automobile 4S stores in mainland China are affectionately called "4 Sons Store" by the masses. But it is undeniable that although 4S stores are very cheating, it is also caused by the changes in the market. When they first appeared, it was a huge help for customers and car companies. When the 4S standard for automobiles has not yet undergone market testing, car dealers will definitely wait and see. Therefore, in order to formulate the best standards, Xia Yu asked Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to make a deal personally, and could also make a fortune in auto retail. After the automobile 4S standard has formed a trend, then take the opportunity to authorize or join, and use this Dongfeng to make Rolls-Royce Motors'' sales outlets fissionally spread, which will cause the sales of Rolls-Royce and Bentley to blow out. By then, the existing company''s direct-operated car stores will not only allow the company to have a clearer grasp of the market context, but also have a deterrent effect on car dealers and retain more initiative. It can also sell its own cars through the halo of the originator of the 4S standard. There are so many benefits! However, in order to eat the cake to the greatest extent, before the Bentley Continental went public, the 4S stores of Rolls-Royce Motor Company only sold cars and would not release the 4S standard. Counting down, Xia Yu gave Rolls-Royce Motor Cars three trump cards, namely the new Rolls-Royce Phantom to increase the sales of the Rolls-Royce brand; Bentley''s transformation implementation plan; and the terminal 4S standard. Xia Yu is confident that with these three trump cards, and strong financial support, it is difficult for Rolls-Royce Motor Company to rise up!

Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 661: 1 different scene On August 10, on the day of the summer auction at Sotheby''s, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi left together. At the auction site, Xia Yu also saw a lot of British big shots. Of course, Xia Yu also saw many Chinese, but in the entire venue, there were very few Chinese with black hair and yellow skin. Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi sat together, and they happened to be able to chat occasionally. Xia Yu remained indifferent, seeing one by one on the auction stage being presented and taken away. Wu Hongyi turned his head and whispered: "Xia Yu, have you seen a few of these auction houses?" Xia Yu glanced at the lottery album on the table in front of him, and smiled faintly: "It''s only one or two, it hasn''t arrived yet, at the current rate, there will be another forty or fifty minutes." "Hongyi, sorry, I''m restricting you this time." Wu Hongyi said nonchalantly: "Why do you see outsiders like this? I don''t want to see other people sucking blood on our Chinese cultural relics." Seeing Wu Hongyi saying this, Xia Yu smiled and didn''t say more. In fact, these days, Xia Yu has participated in the daily affairs of the Chinese Merchants Consortium in his spare time, and greeted a group of Chinese bigwigs of the Chinese Merchants Consortium. That is, in the current Sotheby''s summer auction, it does not participate in the auction of Chinese cultural relics. Although Xia Yu didn''t explain what it was for, everyone agreed with face. After all, buying antiques is not limited to the Sotheby''s auction, and not everyone has a hobby or spare money to collect antiques. If Xia Yu wants these antiques, then give him face! Not only that, in order to show favor to Xia Yu, many people spontaneously persuade their capable friends to give up bidding. Although Chinese cultural relics were once sought after by the upper class in the West, most of them were for the purpose of investment protection. Most of the people who really know how to appreciate and collect sincerely are overseas Chinese. But when all the capable Chinese in the UK did not participate in the bidding of Chinese cultural relics, an embarrassing scene appeared at the Sotheby''s auction. The first piece of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty was offered for auction. Within half a minute of the auctioneer¡¯s announcement, there were very few bidders. The price rose from the starting price of 10,000 pounds to 11,500 pounds, and the scene fell silent. Rao, the white-haired and experienced old auctioneer on the stage, couldn''t help feeling embarrassed. He quickly turned on the flattering mode and tried to make the atmosphere warm. Xia Yu tilted Erlang''s legs and ate the grapes fed by Li Qian, looking forward to the development of things with interest. At the auction site, Giuseppe Eskenazi also arrived, and because of his close cooperation with Sotheby''s auction house, he was also on the VIP table. It''s just that the different atmosphere on the scene made Giuseppe Eskenazi, who has always been confident, frowned. This scene was completely unexpected. You know, in order to stir up the price of Chinese cultural relics, the Chinese cultural relics he offered this time are all valuable boutiques. This Song blue and white porcelain was in his expectation. How could he have to auction more than 25,000 pounds. But now it is still less than half of the price that he expected, and he has stagnated, and he has observed it, and found that none of the few bidders are Chinese! Giuseppe Eskenazi didn''t think maliciously at the beginning, but just comforted himself that this Song blue and white porcelain may not be popular. However, this Song blue and white porcelain is the first Chinese cultural relic after all. If the transaction price is too low, it will inevitably cause a series of adverse effects and make the price of the Chinese cultural relics that will be auctioned later cannot rise. Thinking of this, he did not squint, and nodded slightly. This seems to be a signal. Just as the auctioneer read about 11,500 pounds for the first time, someone immediately raised a placard and increased the price by 500 pounds. "No. 235 bid 12,000 pounds!" The auctioneer who had been scanning the hall immediately saw the lonely sign raised up, and immediately said loudly. Originally, the man added another five hundred pounds. Xia Yu kept watching with a smile, focusing on the number 235, the middle-aged blond who was suddenly killed. Xia Yu, who has been observing Giuseppe Eskenazi, of course noticed his two abrupt nods, then immediately bid on No. 235, and kept clinging on. However, No. 235 is not the look that I particularly wanted, but it is increased bit by bit at the lowest price. There is no doubt that No. 235 is a trust arranged by Giuseppe Eskenazi. When the price of No. 235 was increased again and the price rose to 17,000 pounds, the atmosphere cooled down again and no one increased the price! Seeing this, Xia Yu knew that it was time for him to do it. All the Chinese cultural relics on this auction house will be photographed by him. Otherwise, how can he let his strategy perfectly release the influence? He stretched out his hand, stretched his left index finger, and tapped it lightly on the table. Two seconds later, a middle-aged white man with curly hair on No. 333 raised the sign in his hand. Add a thousand pounds! "No. 333 has a price increase of one thousand pounds, and the Song blue and white porcelain is now 18,000 pounds! Is there a higher price?" The auctioneer said, looking at the blond middle-aged number 235. This time, Giuseppe Eskenazi¡¯s mouth smiled happily. No. 333 was not his arrangement. It seems that the real buyer has appeared, and the price is increased by one thousand pounds. The desire to buy is stronger. He arranged for the care of rich experience and does not need him to be on time again, 235 good To Lima follow up. Eighteen thousand five hundred pounds! 19,500 pounds! ... Twenty-six thousand five hundred pounds! When No. 333 raised the price to 26,500 pounds again, No. 235 realized that No. 333 might have reached its limit, and the price also exceeded the transaction price estimated by owner Giuseppe Eskenazi. He can already complete the task. Therefore, No. 235 will not increase the price no matter what the auctioneer thinks. "Duang!" "...This is the third time for ¡ê26,500. Congratulations to Mr. 333 for taking this Song blue and white porcelain!" After the Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain, there were several European and American cultural relics and artworks, and the atmosphere of the venue became warm again. I just didn''t expect that when the second Chinese cultural relic was taken for auction the atmosphere became cold again. This is an ancient painting, but no Chinese stood up to bid, only five or six whites were bidding, and the bidding price rose very slowly. As a last resort, Giuseppe Eskenazi once again used the 235 support. A similar scene happened again. In the end, No. 333 shot and took the picture for 35,000 pounds. Once, twice, three times...five times! When the Chinese cultural relics were submitted for the fifth time, the bidding atmosphere cooled down again, and Giuseppe Eskenazi had to use another support, No. 268, to raise the price. Finally, the fifth Chinese cultural relic was photographed by a British man on 388. But at this time, many people on the scene have already noticed that something is wrong, especially the auctioneer on the stage. And if Giuseppe Eskenazi on the VIP table hadn''t reacted yet, he would really be a pig! There are five Chinese cultural relics, ranging from porcelain to bronzes to paintings and calligraphy. It seems that no Chinese participated in the auction. It''s not that the Chinese at the scene didn''t do anything, but the goal of the shot was also other things, except not touching Chinese cultural relics. "Fortunately, every item was finally photographed. Although the price is not too high, it is not low." Thinking of this, Giuseppe Eskenazi looked at the two white British men No. 333 and No. 388 subconsciously. It¡¯s just that Giuseppe Eskenazi has made up his mind. After the auction is over, you must investigate clearly where the problem is. After all, the big buyers of Chinese cultural relics are Chinese. If the Chinese don''t buy Chinese cultural relics, then his plan will be ruined! PS: Ask for votes, thank you! (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 662: Face is green Although a series of auctions of Chinese cultural relics are relatively deserted, but the flaws are not concealed, the whole auction is mostly in a hot atmosphere. After all, this auction is a summer auction held by Sotheby¡¯s. There are only four auctions a year like this grade, and it is for the entire United Kingdom. Even because there are good things, there will be people in other European and American countries. Come bidding. "The following lot, I believe most people will be interested, two 1945 Romanie Conti wines from the French Chateau Romanni Conti." With a smile, the auctioneer introduced that he opened the lid and placed it on the table. The white wooden box facing the venue was placed diagonally, with two wines lying there quietly. Sure enough, many people at the scene showed interest, and some good wine lovers even pursed their lips, as if the wine had already been poured in front of them. Looking at Xia Yu looking at the picture album with interest, Wu Hongyi smiled and said, "Xia Yu, did you like these two bottles of wine?" Xia Yu calmly nodded and smiled: "Well, since it''s here, I can''t go home empty-handed for the sake of face. It happens to be your treat tonight. I will bring these two bottles of bar to taste the world''s only hundreds of bottles of wine. taste." Listening to Xia Yu''s tone, although the auctioneer has not announced the official bid, the two bottles of wine are already in his pocket. In fact, for Xia Yu''s wealth, he was determined to take the two bottles of wine, and no one could stop him! For foreign wines, most ordinary people only know Lafite. Located in Bordeaux, France, Lafite Winery, which belongs to the famous Rohill family, is one of the top five wineries in the world. If Lafite is the LV of the wine world, then Romani Conti is the Hermes of the wine world, synonymous with the most rare and noble wine in the world. Chateau Romanni Conti dates back more than 900 BC and is one of the oldest wine estates in France. The output is very small, with an average annual output of about 6,000 bottles, which is less than one-fifth of Lafite Estate On average, only one bottle of red wine can be produced for every three wines. With such a scarce output, a part of it must be used for storage. Therefore, the Romani Conti wines on the market are very scarce, and they are all the products of the rich. The Romani Conti wine in 1945 is even rarer, only one-tenth of the usual output. In the spring of 1945, due to hailstones and the Second World War, the old vines of the vineyard suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a large reduction in grape production. The situation was extremely bleak. As a result, the original production volume of Romani Conti was only very small. 608 bottles. After the harvest season in 1945, the winery uprooted the original roots and old vines left by the Romani Conti vineyard before phylloxera. Although new saplings were later planted from the neighboring Latahi vineyards, the winery kept the wine The quality of Romani Conti has not been produced for the next 6 years. In other words, from 1946 to 1951, there was no new wine of Romani Conti on the market. Therefore, 1945 has a very special significance for the Romani Conti winery. According to the estimates of Romani Conti Winery, including the wines they store, there are no more than two hundred 1945 wines in the world today. I still remember that in a previous life, Sotheby¡¯s auction house sold three bottles of 1869 Lafite at a high price in 1869. The price of each bottle was 233,000 US dollars. The total price of the three bottles was about 5 million yuan. Lafite became the most expensive wine in the world. But in 2018, at the wine auction held by Sotheby¡¯s Auction House, a bottle of 1945 Romani Conti wine finally sold for 558,000 U.S. dollars. This price broke the 23.3 value held by Lafite in 1869. The world record of ten thousand dollars. And this is only the price of one, and the year is 76 years less than the auctioned Lafite! And later, some people wanted to buy a bottle of 1945 Romani Conti at this price to taste, but no one ever sold it, there was no market! In his previous life, Xia Yu was not qualified to taste this kind of wine. After all, one sip of this kind of wine was equivalent to drinking a toilet in a second-tier city. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, and he is not short of money, he naturally wants to buy it and taste it. "Next, I announce that the reserve price is 25,000 pounds, and each increase shall not be less than 1,000 pounds. The auction begins!" "Duang~" The hammer fell, and people kept bidding. 26,000 pounds! Twenty-seven thousand pounds! ... Fifty-eight thousand pounds! In less than a minute, the price soared to nearly 60,000 pounds. Of course, there are fewer and fewer bidders, and only four are still following. The Romani Conti in 1945 is only 34 years ago, and it is not a long time. Now I went to Bordeaux, France, and spent 30,000 pounds, 100 years of wine can definitely be bought. In the eyes of many people, the two wines in front of them are also important. In fact, the taste is not as good as other 70-80-year-old or even 100-year-old wines. There is no need to spend this money. After another half a minute, the price soared to seventy-eight thousand pounds, and the competitor was left with only one middle-aged man who kept increasing the price fiercely. Xia Yu didn''t wait any longer. Just when the middle-aged man just showed a smile, he raised the sign and uttered two words lightly: "Add 10,000 pounds!" He was too lazy to grind a thousand pounds with others, and directly increased the price by 10,000 pounds, showing his attitude of certainty, and letting them retreat. Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yu''s price came out, the smile on the face of the middle-aged man who had been increasing the price solidified, hesitating again and again, and finally did not raise the sign. After three readings, there was no bidding, and two 1945 Romanie Conti wines were bought by Xia Yu for 88,000 pounds. "Eighty-eight thousand, this number is auspicious, it seems that I will drink more tonight to get your wealth!" Wu Hongyi smiled and said to Xia Yu. "Haha, this is what you said, not drunk or go home!" Xia Yu smiled and said. Next, Xia Yu did not participate in the bidding anymore, instead Wu Hongyi paid one hundred thousand pounds for an oil painting. According to him, it is not good to go back empty-handed, so he simply buys a painting and hangs it in the office to add an exotic touch to his collection. Xia Yu didn''t do it himself, it doesn''t mean that the people he arranged didn''t do it. After four days of summer photography, all the Chinese cultural relics were photographed by five people arranged by him. The prices were high and low. A total of forty-eight fine cultural relics were sold for a total of 1.7 million pounds. Only when the summer auction was over and the money was to be delivered, none of these five people showed up and all refused to pay. Over time, the people at Sotheby''s auction house and Giuseppe Eskenazi knew that something was wrong. The general manager of the London branch of Sotheby''s auction house hurriedly jumped and refused to pay for 48 lots. This was the first time this happened in more than 100 years. He couldn''t bear this responsibility! And Giuseppe Eskenazi, the provider of all the lots, is not much better. In the reception room of Sotheby¡¯s auction house, he looks ugly at Sotheby¡¯s general manager in front of him~www.novelhall.com ~ Very angry in my heart. He was overcast! Generally speaking, it is normal for the auctions to pass the auction. The auction house can negotiate with the seller and then sell it privately. But the situation is completely different now. All Chinese cultural relics were provided by him, and the buyer refused to pay after all the auctions went out. According to the agreement signed between him and Sotheby''s auction house, he also had to give 25% of the commission to Sotheby''s auction house. "Mr. Giuseppe, now that this unexpected situation has occurred, I am really sorry, but we are not strict." "I wonder if this is possible? Shall we contact the second buyer who made the previous bid and make a deal with their bid?" In order to minimize the impact, Sotheby''s general manager took a deep breath and suggested to Giuseppe Eskenazi. This is a common method used by auction houses after the buyer refuses to pay. After discussing with the seller, contact the second buyer to sell the lot. Only this time is completely different. Giuseppe Eskenazi''s face suddenly turned green when he heard Sotheby''s general manager''s words. Because of these forty-eight lots, the second highest bid was all arranged by him! Is this asking him to spend ¡ê1.67 million to buy back all the lots he offered? And also pay the seller 25% commission, and the buyer 10% commission, a total of 35%, more than 500,000 pounds! I¡¯m busy with it. If the hype plan of Huaxia Cultural Relics is broken, it takes time and effort to cost him more than 500,000 pounds! How does this work? He won¡¯t agree unless he gets his brain pumped! PS: I unknowingly wrote that after four o''clock in the morning, I have to get up and go to work after seven o''clock in the morning, my **** is too bad o(¨i©n¨i)o (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 663: Launch an attack Giuseppe Eskenazi is not a stupid person, he has already determined that someone is going to **** him, and there is definitely a follow-up method. Although it is not clear who has offended it, the best way to resist unknown danger is to disrupt the enemy''s offensive routine. The enemy in the dark is obviously to let these forty-eight Chinese articles be photographed, and his best response is to prevent this from happening. The second most expensive auctioneer is his trust. He doesn''t want to let himself buy back the lots he provided. After all, buying them back will cost more than 500,000 pounds. You need to know that Eskenazy Co., Ltd. had a net profit of just over five million pounds last year, which is equivalent to a one-tenth of his loss. Eskenazi Co., Ltd. belongs to the family. Although he is the head of the family, his shareholding ratio is only more than ten points. It is impossible for him to pay for this money himself. If you let the company out, then this year''s financial report will definitely be inferior, and it will affect the company''s stock price then, which is not desirable. So it is absolutely not advisable to buy it back by yourself or the company! In this way, the best way is to let the third highest bidder buy it all. It¡¯s just that it takes a certain amount of time, and there is no guarantee that all will be successful. It''s not too late, you must act immediately! Thinking of this, Giuseppe Eskenazi said to Sotheby¡¯s general manager: "Manager Ron, I need to trouble you to contact customers, the sooner the better!" The general manager named Ron is a grasshopper on the same rope as Giuseppe Eskenazi. He immediately said: "Since you agree to sell, then I will arrange it right away." After finishing speaking, Manager Ron hurriedly removed customer information, trying to intercept many customers before they left, complete private transactions as soon as possible, and reduce the rate of unsuccessful auctions. At the same time, he also asked people to find out the details of the five British people who refused to pay. Not to mention, that night, Ron and Giuseppe Eskenazi really completed eight private transactions, reducing the number of Chinese cultural relics that were sold out from forty-eight to forty. They plan to continue the action the next day. But Xia Yu had expected them to do this a long time ago, so he didn''t plan to give them more time to cope. The next day, with the distribution of major newspapers, a blockbuster news aroused heated discussion. British "The Sun": Shocking! Buyers refused to pay for a large number of sold items during Sotheby''s summer auction! Famous gossip newspaper "Daily Mirror": Sotheby''s summer auction has not seen any bad conditions in a century, and all Chinese cultural relics have been unsold! "Financial Times": According to reliable sources, all Chinese cultural relics provided by Eskenazy Ltd. to participate in Sotheby''s London auction have all been sold, with a total transaction volume of 1.7 million pounds, and Sotheby''s in the United States A similar situation occurred in the summer auctions in France, France and Hong Kong. Sotheby''s auction house will reduce the total turnover of the summer auction by 9.2 million pounds... "Daily Telegraph"... It seems that an appointment has been made. Many major mainstream newspapers have reported negative news about Sotheby¡¯s Auction House, and they have written them in great detail, making people believe it is true at a glance. In fact, the news reported in these newspapers were all arranged by Xia Yu for submission. City of London, Chinese Commercial Bank. Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi sat down to drink tea face to face. Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Wu Hongyi said with a smile: "Xia Yu, it seems that Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. are busy. I thought you wanted to buy those antiques. I still read it. I don¡¯t understand what you want." Although it is not reported in the news that Xia Yu did it, Wu Hongyi is 100% sure that Xia Yu did it. After all, Xia Yu had specifically instructed him not to participate in the auction of Chinese cultural relics before, and other people also agreed. When this happens at this time, who else can it be if Xia Yu did it? Xia Yu shook his head slightly to blow away the white mist from the teacup, took a sip, and smiled faintly. "I just don''t want foreign devils to maliciously increase the price of Chinese cultural relics and **** blood on us Chinese." Wu Hongyi was taken aback, then he thought about the key, and then looked at Xia Yu in admiration: "That''s it, admire it!" "I read the newspaper and said that the United States, France and Hong Kong all have this situation, and Hong Kong is the most serious?" Wu Hongyi hesitated and asked. Anyway, Wu Hongyi also knew that it was his hand. He didn''t worry that Wu Hongyi would leak it out, so Xia Yu didn''t hide it. He nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I greeted some people in Xiangjiang." In fact, the largest market for Chinese cultural relics today is Asia, with the focus on Southeast Asia and East Asia. After all, these places have the most Chinese people and know how to collect and appreciate Chinese cultural relics. Sotheby''s summer auction places the location in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang is Xia Yu''s site. Before Xia Yu came, he greeted a group of big Chinese guys. Everyone was willing to give Xia Yu a face. Anyway, it was not Sotheby¡¯s auction house collecting antiques. Because of this, the situation of unsuccessful auctions in the Xiangjiang Forbes summer auction is the most serious. More than half of the Huaxiawen logistics auctions or the buyer refused to pay, and the total transaction price reached more than six million pounds, equivalent to nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars. Not all of these lots were provided by Eskenazy Co., Ltd., but all the Chinese cultural relics it offered were refused payment, and none of them were in vain! This situation was known to Sotheby''s Head Office and Giuseppe Eskenazi last night. Both sides wanted to close the lid tightly, thinking of a solution overnight. It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t expect Xia Yu to make an amazing shot so fiercely! At this time, the two companies are already in a state of desperation. Faced with a large number of reporters around the door of the two companies, the heads of the two companies dare not go out. And this is not over, the bad influence is far from reaching the limit. Prior to this, Xia Yu arranged for someone to short Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazy Ltd. At this time, major mainstream media reported negative news involving the two companies, especially after the Financial Times analyzed the actual situation and future prospects of the two companies based on actual data from a fair and objective perspective, the majority of capital was immediately affected. . Starting The stock prices of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. fell at the same time, and the bad influence spread further again forming a vicious circle. New 81 Chinese website update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/ On the side of Huashang Bank, Wu Hongyi heard Xia Yu admit that when he was shocked in his eyes, he suddenly thought of a key question. He immediately asked: "Xia Yu, according to the current situation, Huaxia cultural relics are well-known. In the next few years, it will be difficult for Huaxia cultural relics to sell for a high price. If you buy so many Chinese cultural relics, isn''t it more difficult to realize it?" Xia Yu smiled, and said nonchalantly: "The antiques I bought will not be sold in the past 30 years. The reputation of Chinese cultural relics will be stinky. It is even better. The foreign devils of the province take our cultural pride. Lie on us to **** blood." In Xia Yu¡¯s view, the reputation of Huaxia cultural relics is more beneficial to him. It will be less difficult for him to acquire Huaxia cultural relics and the price will be lower. After all, when most people realize that the Huaxia cultural relics market is not good, many people do not If you dare to collect and invest, it will be more difficult to speculate on the price. And he also knows that the reputation of Chinese cultural relics is stinking, and decades are enough to wipe away the current bad influence. No matter how bad, after a few decades, China¡¯s economy will rise, and the price of China¡¯s cultural relics will still be fired up. At that time, the people who speculate on cultural relics and antiques will definitely not be limited to the British, and the Chinese people involved in the interests will be behind the scenes. man of. "You are right. Once this time, the price of Chinese cultural relics will definitely fall, and not many people dare to invest. It seems that I have to seize the opportunity to buy more. I''m going to take your light again." Wu Hongyi laughed. Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. v3 Chapter 664: Downfall Christie''s Headquarters, 8 King Street, London, UK. Christie¡¯s auction house is busy at this time, preparing for the summer auction to be held ten days later. The summer auction at Christie¡¯s is half a month later than Sotheby¡¯s. Today, news about Sotheby¡¯s auction house is flying all over the sky. As a rival that has competed for two hundred years, the head of Christie¡¯s auction house is naturally very concerned. In the office of Chairman Herman Woods, Herman Woods, who is over 50, sat at his desk, listening to the general manager of the auction house, Hunter Simpson, reporting the situation in front of him. After introducing the situation, Hunter Simpson expressed his concerns: ¡°Chairman, the current situation seems to be mainly aimed at Chinese cultural relics. I just don¡¯t know if Sotheby¡¯s or Eskenazi Co. Ltd. offended people, or No distinction is made for all Chinese cultural relics." "If all Chinese cultural relics are indiscriminately targeted, then we have to make preparations." Herman Woods frowned upon hearing this, apparently thinking that Hunter Simpson¡¯s concerns were justified. "The next summer auction, how many Chinese cultural relics will our company sell?" After thinking for a long time, Herman Woods asked suddenly. Hunter Simpson said immediately: "There were 36 Chinese cultural relics at the auction held at St. James in London, 18 of which were provided by Eskenazy Ltd." "There will be 25 Chinese cultural relics at the auction held in New York, 11 of which are provided by Eskenazi Co., Ltd." "¡­¡­" Hearing this, Herman Woods looked a little unpleasant. He thought about it and said, "It is still unclear the real reason. It is too late to withdraw now. We must prepare in advance." "Eligibility must be strictly controlled first." "In addition, we will arrange for some people to bid for these Chinese cultural relics to make sure that we have everyone in our possession, but remember that the bid cannot be too high." According to Herman Woods, the reason Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. are in a dilemma is that they did not have any preparations and were attacked by unknown enemies. Exposed. In fact, these methods are very simple and easy to deal with, but it is undeniable that the effect of sudden attacks is very good. The countermeasures he said now are to prevent these risks, and they are absolutely effective without other means. Hunter Simpson immediately nodded and replied: "Understood, I will arrange it now." Herman Woods asked again: "Hunt, do you have anything else to add?" Hunter Simpson hesitated for a moment, with a sinister look on his face, and said: "Chairman, the stock price of Sotheby''s auction house has definitely fallen a lot now. As long as it stays in the whirlpool of public opinion, it will definitely be dragged into the quagmire. I think this It''s a rare opportunity, should we do something secretly?" Herman Woods moved in his heart. He remembered the frustrated past of being a two-million-year-old second child. He immediately made up his mind and smiled: "You go to make arrangements, remember to be concealed and not have anything to do with us. ." "I understand! Don''t worry!" Watching Hunt Simpson leave, Herman Woods stretched out and let out a long breath. He lowered his head and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and what Hunter Simpson had said in his mind, his heart gradually heated up. Their Woods family is the third owner of Christie¡¯s auction house. The first was the founder James Christie¡¯s. Christie¡¯s auction house has been passed down in the Christie¡¯s family for two generations for 65 years. The second owner is William Hansen, who has been in charge for 28 years. Then in 1859, Thomas Woods, the great-grandfather of Herman Woods, entered the Christie''s auction house, and it has been passed down to him. It has been passed down in the Woods family for four generations, and Christie''s auction house has already branded the Woods family. But for more than a hundred years, their Woods family has been diligent and diligent in developing the auction house, but they have never been able to catch up with Sotheby''s auction house. They have been under the pressure of the other party. First release ¥¡ÐÂ¥ä~¢à~1~Chinese website ¦Ø¦Ø¦Ø.¦Ö~¢¸~1z§ë.c¨°§Þ It''s rare to see Sotheby''s auction house encounter a crisis nowadays, and it is obvious that someone is doing them. Herman Woods is indeed tempted. If this opportunity is grasped well, it can definitely seriously damage the reputation of Sotheby''s auction house. I can only think of it now, and that is that, at least in the next few years, the business of Sotheby¡¯s auction house of Chinese cultural relics will definitely not be better. If Sotheby¡¯s Auction House does not solve the problem and announce it to the public, collectors will definitely have psychological scruples. Although this business is not the main contribution department of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House, it is not small, is it? One is going down, maybe this opportunity will allow Christie''s auction house to surpass Sotheby''s auction house! Thinking of this, Herman Woods became more and more enthusiastic. He felt that it was not enough for Hunter Simpson to do the pitfalls. He immediately set out to mobilize his family''s power and seized this opportunity to step on the Sotheby''s auction house. The peers are enemies, nothing more! ¡­¡­ Eskenazy Co., Ltd. and Sotheby''s Auction House were already overwhelmed, but the situation got worse in the next two days. The people of Xia Yu have been breaking the news to the major newspapers. Of course, the major newspapers are very keen to report relevant news for the sake of sales, which is completely at the expense of others. And after all, Christie¡¯s auction house has competed with Sotheby¡¯s auction house for so many years, and knows its roots. At this time, the effect is very significant. In just two days, the market value of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House, surrounded by various bad advisories, plummeted, from 292 million pounds to 220 million pounds, a drop of nearly 25%, and the price-earnings ratio fell to nine times. about. Although Christie¡¯s auction house was also affected by the turmoil, it was not significant. The stock price only fluctuated a little. At this time, it surpassed Sotheby¡¯s auction house with a market value of 235 million pounds. Herman Woods was very happy when he heard the news. Eskenazi Co., Ltd., general manager Giuseppe Eskenazi, with an angry face, directly crumpled the newspaper in his hand and smashed it on the ground. "Damn media, there is no bottom line for sales, especially the Sun, which is as disgusting as shit!" Giuseppe Eskenazi angrily yelled He didn''t know where the Sun obtained the data, and he actually counted all the lot information provided by Eskenazi Co., Ltd. accurately, and He covered the unsuccessful data that was too late. With the influence of The Sun, once it was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of readers. Reflected in the stock market, that is, the share price of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. plummeted from 78 million pounds to 55 million pounds, and it is still falling. Obviously, the capital is very optimistic about Eskenazi''s revenue this year and future prospects. Think about it, too, if this kind of thing happens, anyone who understands will realize that the Chinese cultural relics market will be sluggish in the coming years, and the new business developed by Eskenazi Co., Ltd. will be abolished. "True!" Hearing the knock on the door, Giuseppe Eskenazi took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said coldly: "Come in!" Soon, the door opened, and his cousin Robert Eskenazi came in. He was arranged to investigate the situation. Now that he is here, has he inquired about any news? Thinking of this, Giuseppe Eskenazi asked quickly: "Robert, how is the investigation going?" Robert Eskenazi gave a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: "The identities of the five people have been found, they are just ordinary people, but the enemy should have expected that we will investigate, so as soon as the auction is over, they will arrange for the five of them to go abroad. Now it is estimated that they are all vacationing in unknown places." v3 Chapter 665: Amazing profit Hearing this, Giuseppe Eskenazi breathed a suffocated breath, and a burst of blood poured over his head. "damn it!" He couldn''t help cursing bitterly. Although there was speculation before the investigation that the enemy would find a way to hide, but when things were really confirmed, he was still somewhat unacceptable, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent. Ah! Since Xia Yu has decided to do it, and he is still in a territory that is not his own in the UK, of course he will not grant anyone authority. In order to clarify the relationship, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to come forward, and George Berkeley asked his loyal subordinates to come forward through a temporary worker of another shell company, and privately found five people they didn¡¯t know each other. Gamblers who have credit problems don''t care about credit at all, they are willing to do anything as long as they have money. And what Xia Yu paid was only five deposits to enter Sotheby''s auction house, each of which cost 10,000 pounds, which cost 50,000 pounds. Of course, this 50,000 pounds has been in vain, but compared with the profit of shorting, the 50,000 pounds is a drizzle. Giuseppe Eskenazi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. With a cold face, he asked his cousin again: "Robert, what''s the situation with that Chinese named Huashengshi now?" There were problems with the Chinese cultural relics he offered for auction. After Giuseppe calmed down the day before yesterday, he immediately suspected Huashengshi. After all, with his sinister deeds, there was a ghost in his heart. If something went wrong at this time, he would inevitably doubt Hua Shengshi with a malicious attitude. What''s more, he deliberately competed with Hua Shengshi for the Chinese cultural relics before, but Hua Shengshi directly retreated without any reaction. This seemed strange at first, but nothing happened before, so he didn''t care too much. Robert Eskenazi shook his head again in the disappointed eyes of his cousin: "I have asked people to investigate. He has stayed in his shop most of the day, and even his buddies rarely go out. No suspicious information was found." They didn¡¯t know that Xia Yu acquired Jumbo Pavilion. After Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition, it was still managed by Huashengshi. The change of ownership only needs to be signed on paper. Jumbo Pavilion is not a listed company. There is no need for such information. Announced outside. Giuseppe Eskenazi fixedly looked at Robert Eskenazi, and he saw that the latter''s face was hot and he lowered his head in shame. "Hey¡­¡­" "You can''t relax and continue to check, as long as you have key information, tell me immediately!" "That''s it, I will deal with the matter first." After Robert Eskenazi was sent away, Giuseppe Eskenazi immediately summoned the company''s executives and directors, intending to once again brainstorm to solve the current difficulties. After all, Eskenazi Co., Ltd. is a listed company. Although most of the equity is in the Eskenazi family, the company still has external shareholders. Now Eskenazi Co., Ltd. has been put on the fire, and the stock price has plummeted. Some shareholders are no longer satisfied. He must comfort them and use their strength to tide over the difficulties. External troubles have been difficult to solve, and there must be no more internal troubles! ... At the headquarters of the Bright Fund Company, Xia Yu sat on the chair of the chairman''s office and looked at the company''s operations. This was submitted by George Berkeley after he came to the company early this morning. After reading it, Xia Yu closed the document happily. Through the operating data during this period, Xia Yu can see that the company''s development momentum is very good, and George Berkeley did not let him down. George Berkeley used his previous contacts to build a good partnership between Bright Fund and many major banks, borrowing a total of 50 million pounds, and then set up a separate foreign exchange operation department to leverage the USD/GBP exchange rate. Over the past two months, the British pound has been appreciating against the U.S. dollar, rising from 2.121 to 2.175, and the Bright Fund¡¯s benefit reached 22 million pounds. This result is very impressive. And this is George Berkeley''s independent performance. Xia Yu has not mentioned him before. This is what Xia Yu is most satisfied with. An elite talent who can make money for him without worrying about him is really rare! In addition, Bright Fund''s acquisition plan is also progressing smoothly. Through a number of offshore shell companies, it has acquired 3.72% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and 4.21% of the Royal Bank of Scotland from the stock market. One-twelfth of the two-year plan time has passed. Although the equity acquired by each bank is less than one-fifth of the total equity, if you think about the number of equity dispersed to ordinary shareholders and small and medium-sized investment institutions, you can see There are already a lot of shares acquired. "Cici, you go and inform George and let him come." "Ok!" Soon, George Berkeley, in a suit and leather shoes, came to the office. "George, sit down and say!" Signaling George Berkeley to sit on the sofa, Xia Yu also got down from his position and sat opposite him. "I looked at the data during this period. You did a good job and didn''t let me down. Keep going. At the end of the year, you will receive a huge bonus!" Xia Yu didn''t ask him first, but smiled in praise. George Berkeley smiled, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, and thanked: "Boss, thank you for your generosity! This is what I should do!" Xia Yu smiled and didn''t say more, anyway, by the end of the year, his actions will give the strongest proof. "How is the operation of Sotheby''s Auction House and Eskenazy Ltd.?" "Boss, through the preliminary short-selling preparations, the floating profit has now reached 19.6 million pounds, of which Sotheby¡¯s auction house has a floating profit of 15.4 million pounds and short Eskenner. Qi Ltd. has a floating profit of 4.2 million pounds." George Berkeley immediately reported several sets of data. After handing over the operation status to Xia Yu early in the morning, George Berkeley stayed in the short selling group specifically targeting the two major companies. These data were all the latest statistics. At this time Xia Yu asked, he happened to be able to smoothly The answer came up. Xia Yu realized the magnitude of the decline of the two companies in his mind. Combined with the data reported by George Berkeley, he immediately calculated a rough figure. The Guangming Fund short-selling the two companies the equity of the two companies are all in percent. Of about twenty. It is precisely because of this that the two companies have fallen by nearly 100 million pounds in total, and the Bright Fund has earned nearly 20 million pounds. However, 20% of the equity is not a small amount. After all, if you remove the stocks held by the controlling shareholders and substantial shareholders, and then remove the stocks left in the hands of ordinary shareholders, the maximum equity in the hands of institutions is 30%. , Not even. To be able to find two-thirds of this 30% of the equity to bet against is already quite high. Without certain ability to fool, it is really difficult to bring these financial elites into the ditch. It has only been half a month since the layout, but it has made nearly 20 million pounds in profit, which is terrifying but normal. After all, the profit of shorting is more profitable than longing. Xia Yu knew that in the US financial market, the two giants, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, preferred short selling, and in order to grab profits, they would also use various resources and even make black hands. Many of China¡¯s large companies in the previous life were listed on the U.S. stock market, and many large companies have been hacked, with billions of dollars in profits at every turn. How can the predators on Wall Street not be tempted? Even the big A shares of later generations...With the memories of those big guys, Xia Yu is very clear about the truth that was not known to the general public from 2015 to 2016. It''s sighing to think about it. Forget it, the previous life has nothing to do with him, and in this life, his butterfly is getting stronger and stronger. The process of China and the world has long been changed, and the future has long been elusive. He now thinks that this is also annoying! Xia Yu shook his head, cleared irrelevant thoughts from his mind, looked at George Berkeley, and asked three consecutive questions: "How many stocks have been sold, how many stocks we have left for betting, and how many have we bought in the market?" v3 Chapter 666: Whetstone George Berkeley condensed his eyebrows for a while, and then said: "Boss, the company does not have any stocks left in the hands of the company, including the stocks we bought in advance and the stocks we took over from the bet. Most of them were before the plunge. Sold out." "Originally, a small part was left for emergency use, but I saw the current public opinion situation and thought that Sotheby''s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. could not come back, so the emergency stocks were also sold. " "Now the stock market is full of stock sell orders from these two companies, and there is basically no buy order. The trend of the stock prices of the two companies is still relatively obvious, so I did not start to buy back shares." George Berkeley said so much, Xia Yu summed up a sentence in his mind, that is, Guangming Fund does not have any two companies'' stocks! Xia Yu didn''t say anything. After all, with the current situation, George Berkeley''s choice is understandable. Anyway, everything is to make money for him. But Xia Yu''s ultimate goal is not to make this little short-selling money! Now that the stock prices of the two companies have passed the initial period of slump, the negative news of his operation has exerted more than half of the impact. Even if the stock prices of the two companies will fall, they will not fall much. According to Xia Yu''s estimation, as long as the two companies don''t have any bad luck halfway, the stock price will fall within 20% or even within 15% of the current basis at most. With the equity held by the Bright Fund, at most it will earn another 10 million pounds, too little! And the stock price is no longer a sharp drop, but will gradually fall over a longer period of time, until the negative impact is worn away, it will start a bottoming rebound again. And that process of falling is destined to take a while, and he doesn''t have this leisure time spent here. Now no one dares to buy stocks at this point, and there are selling orders everywhere, but it is the best time for him to implement the plan. Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked straight and told George Berkeley: "George, don''t care about the profit of short selling. Now stop short selling and immediately purchase the shares of the two companies." "In addition, while the stock prices of the two companies are still falling, find those gambling institutions and use the early termination of the gambling agreement as a bargaining chip to acquire their equity." "As for other institutions that have not participated in the gambling, they have also issued acquisition applications to them. I believe that at this time, these institutions will definitely be willing to sell." "At the same time, we will send some people to contact individual major shareholders other than the controlling shareholder to buy their shares." "These steps must be carried out at the same time, and the speed must be fast to prevent the controlling shareholder from counterattacking!" Xia Yu¡¯s previous move was hit hard by Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazi Co., Ltd. According to the current situation, the two companies have been dominated by public opinion, and major newspapers have also followed them. The stock prices of these two companies within are not to rise again. The stock prices of the two companies will continue to fall. Now Xia Yu has asked George Berkeley to take the initiative to end the gambling agreement with the gambling institutions, which is actually forgiving them. After all, as long as the stock prices continue to fall, the institutions participating in the gambling will lose more Big. Now they sell their equity to Bright Fund, but they can stop the loss in time. As for whether anyone firmly believes that these two companies will get up again? Don''t be kidding, even if some institutions before have confidence in these two companies, their confidence will suffer a severe blow after experiencing this crit. So instead of continuing to lose money and put the funds in it, it is better to withdraw in time and use the money in the next few months to find investment projects again. On the contrary, it is possible to make back the losses of the gambling, or even earn more. . It is for this reason that Xia Yu also asked George Berkeley to buy stocks in the hands of institutions that were previously unwilling to participate in gambling. After all, these institutions are not willing to bet against each other because they lack confidence in the two companies and fear that the stock prices of these two companies will fall. And now it''s really happening. If you hold the stock for one day, you lose one day''s money. Maybe some institutions have already placed sell orders. As for those private major shareholders, seeing the current situation, I believe that some people will definitely want to leave. Xia Yu said so clearly, George Berkeley understood instantly, he nodded heavily and replied: "Good boss, I will do it now!" "Go, make a plan and make sure to acquire more stocks. I''m waiting for your good news!" Xia Yu looked at George Berkeley with expectant eyes and said encouragingly. The latter didn''t say much, his eyes were full of determination, and he immediately quit the office and began to implement the plan. After sitting on the sofa for a while, Xia Yu closed his eyes and pondered, and found that there was nothing missing, so he got up and took Li Qian away. As for the acquisition of equity in the two companies? He believes that he has said so clearly that with George Berkeley''s ability, he will not be disappointed! After leaving the headquarters of Bright Fund, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Bank to personally guide the construction and investment department. Yesterday was August 15th, which happened to be the day when the Joaquin Meeting was held. In July, Xia Yu was absent and entrusted George Berkeley to participate, but he was here this month, so he was naturally attending. After all, he was the second-highest deputy manager. It¡¯s true that people would not attend the meeting in London. not good. Yesterday''s meeting lasted from morning to five o''clock in the afternoon. The main purpose of the meeting was to announce the overall situation and problems of the Chinese business consortium, and then everyone brainstormed to solve them and reached cooperation with each other. It can be said that although the Chinese Business Consortium has only been established for two months, the benefits of the consortium have begun to emerge. The major components of the Chinese Business Consortium are backed by big trees and are developing very rapidly. Among them, the fastest growing is Huashang Bank. After two months, major companies have transferred their capital flows to Huashang Bank. This immediately allowed Huashang Bank''s liquidity to soar several times. However, with so much funding, a problem has also arisen, that is, how to use the money to produce more money. Although the existing investment department of Huashang Bank has good capabilities, it is relatively mediocre compared to the long-established large investment banks and large banks . In particular, these liquid funds can only be used for short-term operations, and short-term operations are the most important test of the overall analysis and operation capabilities of the investment department. Obviously, the investment department of Huashang Bank is not suitable. Therefore, despite the rapid development of Huashang Bank, some problems have also been exposed. If they are not resolved, the development of Huashang Bank will be deformed and it is very likely that it will eventually go nowhere. After discovering these problems, Wu Hongyi was also very anxious. He also thought of many solutions, but they did not solve them well. It just so happened that Xia Yu''s timely rain came, and Wu Hongyi seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw and slammed the problem to Xia Yu like a semi-strong push. Xia Yu was still dumbfounded when he saw Wu Hongyi acting a bit of a rogue. However, these big problems for Wu Hongyi and others are completely a piece of cake in Xia Yu''s eyes. Anyway, he owns 22% of Huashang Bank, is the second largest shareholder, and has the obligation to contribute to the development of the bank. Therefore, Xia Yu took over directly, selected the employees he believed to be capable of restructuring the investment department, issued a recruitment announcement, and then began to speculate in foreign exchange. Foreign exchange speculation can exercise people''s will and ability. After all, foreign exchange speculation uses high leverage. A small fluctuation will cause large fluctuations in funds. If you are not paying attention, you may lose your money. However, although the risk is extremely high, Xia Yu personally controls it, and no major problems can arise. He can''t stay in London for long, so he must hone his investment team in the shortest possible time. Foreign exchange speculation is the best whetstone! . _Mobile version URL: [You Read Bookstore is a free reading source app software, Android phones need to download and install googlepy, and Apple phones need to log in to non-Mainland China accounts to download and install] v3 Chapter 667: Minions of the Rohir family In an instant, three days passed in a flash. In the past three days, Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazy Co., Ltd. finally stopped passively accepting, and began to buy the media to confuse the sight and refute rumors. The effect is still there, at least some stupid people believe it. However, these two companies did something, and Xia Yu and Christie''s auction house did not bother to watch. Xia Yu and Christie¡¯s did not know each other, but they had the same attitude, and kept causing trouble to Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and Eskenazy Ltd. The only difference is that Christie¡¯s auction house only targets Sotheby¡¯s auction house. In this case, although public opinion is no longer as turbulent as it was in the first day or two, it still cannot be underestimated. This has caused the stock prices of Sotheby''s Auction House and Eskenazy Ltd to continue to fall. For three days, George Berkeley kept reporting to Xia Yu the latest progress in the acquisition of stocks. As expected by Xia Yu, those institutions that gambling with companies controlled by Bright Fund, faced with the bargaining chips thrown by Bright Fund that could end the betting early, without any confrontation, all agreed to sell their equity to Bright Fund. Of course, in order to acquire at the fastest speed, Bright Funds all acquire the shares at the real-time stock price of the day. Those institutions at most lightly argue one or two before agreeing, and there is no such thing as a premium acquisition. After all, the Bright Fund¡¯s willingness to end the gambling prematurely is a gift to them. The longer they delay, the greater their losses. How can they still care about profits in the face of losses? Or in their opinion, saving is earning. In three days, most of the Bright Fund¡¯s staff were deployed and divided into ten acquisition teams. From these gambling institutions, they acquired a total of 21.4% of Sotheby¡¯s auction house and 18.2% of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. Equity. New 81 Chinese website update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/ In addition, Bright Fund also acquired a total of 27.8% of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and 12.4% of Eskenazy Co., Ltd. from the market, non-gambling institutions and individual shareholders. Therefore, Bright Fund now holds a total of 49.2% of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House and 30.6% of Eskenazy Ltd. A total of 120 million pounds. Because the Bright Fund played the side ball during the acquisition, they were all acquired with the vest company prepared before, so the equity was not centralized, and the outside world did not know the true situation. at most found some clues from the constant replacement of shareholders. But at this point, even if Xia Yu is discovered, he doesn''t care anymore. holds a 49.2% stake in Sotheby¡¯s Auction House, and the decision to take over has already been made. That is to say, Sotheby¡¯s auction house is different from Christie¡¯s auction house. The number of ownership changes is much more than that of the latter, resulting in a very fragmented shareholding. Sotheby¡¯s auction house now has a much lower degree of control over the company by the actual controlling shareholders than the Woods family. auction. As for the Eskenazi Co., Ltd., the 30.6% of the equity acquired has almost reached its peak. The total shareholding of the Eskenazi family exceeds 50%, and Xia Yu cannot take it away. Fortunately for this company, Xia Yu did not intend to acquire it from the beginning. After all, the large quantities of Chinese cultural relics belonged to the Eskenazi family, not the company. The acquisition of these shares is nothing more than for the calculations. ¡­¡­ "Boss, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." At 2:50 pm, at the location of the Guangming Fund, Xia Yu waited in the lobby for less than a minute, and George Berkeley hurried over from the elevator and said apologetically. "It''s fine, let''s go!" "Ok!" Then, Xia Yu took Li Wuming, Elena, George Berkeley and others into the car and went to the Hilton International Hotel in the west corner of the City of London. A far-reaching financial gathering will be held here this afternoon. The participants are all famous and powerful financial companies in London, covering banks, investment banks, private equity funds and capital management groups, etc., not only British companies, but many The branches of international financial giants in the UK were also invited to participate. Although the Guangming Fund has gained a lot of reputation and strength after acquiring two media companies and Rolls-Royce Motor Company, it can still be regarded as a junior in this gathering. Of course, this is to hide aspects such as the dark buying plan and the operation of London Gold. Otherwise, if it is exposed, the status of the Bright Fund will definitely be higher. Fifteen minutes later, the car drove to the London Hilton International Hotel and heard the parking lot under the guidance of the hotel security. Leaving Li Wuming to watch the car, under the guidance of the waiter, Xia Yu, Elena and George Berkeley came to the furnished assembly hall. There were already many people in the venue at this time. Few people Xia Yu knew. On the contrary, George Berkeley greeted people intimately and introduced Xia Yu to everyone. Xia Yu has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. He exchanged business cards with many people. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of someone coming in at the door. He fixed his eyes and saw that Duke Carter Howard was being surrounded by a group of people. He instantly thought of its second largest shareholder of Lloyd Bank. Of directorship. "Elena, your father is here, do you want to go first?" Xia Yu ended the conversation with the general manager of a private equity fund, walked out and approached Elena, and said softly. Elena was taken aback, followed Xia Yu''s gaze and found that it was her father. She thought for a while, and shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it, there are so many people now, so let''s go there when there are fewer people." Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, then wait a while." The presence of Duke Carter Howard seemed to have opened the curtain for the presence of big names. In the next ten minutes, one after another large banks or financial experts entered the venue, including the president of Barclays Bank, the president of HSBC Holdings, and Morgan Bank UK The general manager of the branch, the Earl of Bahrain from the Bank of Barings, and Sidmund Warburg from the GS Warburg Company, etc. Of course, Xia Yu also saw the head of the Roshir family, Jacob Roshir. Although it was the first time that Xia Yu saw him in person, he recognized it at a glance. This came from his mind. Those memories in. And Xia Yu also noticed that he was accompanied by Jacob Rosill, a white man who appeared to be very low-key and slightly humble, was the famous George Soros of the later generation. Xia Yu knew that George Soros was the minion of the Rothschild family, and as early as 1969, when he was sent from the company to Europe to open up the securities market, he was killed by Roche due to his amazing performance and Jewish identity. The Er family pays attention, and then earns the wings. Xia Yu was able to understand Soros¡¯ secrets so deeply because before he was reborn, Soros, a big man, also participated in the Davos Economic Forum and lived in that hotel. After Xia Yu was reborn, Soros naturally Part of the memory. It can be said that in this world, Xia Yu is the person who knows Soros best, even better than Soros himself. Seeing that the people around him had a so-so attitude towards Soros, even indifferent, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth evoked an arc. Now Soros only has a certain reputation on Wall Street, his net worth is only about 20 million US dollars, the company''s name has just been changed, and the Open Social Fund is renamed Quantum Fund. The people here would never have imagined that such an ordinary white man on this occasion will grow into the world''s most powerful financial crocodile in the future. It seemed that someone was paying attention to him. George Soros glanced at him, and it happened to meet Xia Yu''s eyes. Xia Yu smiled and nodded. George Soros was taken aback, then smiled and continued to look away. "What''s wrong, Xia Yu, is there anything special about that person?" Elena noticed Xia Yu''s strangeness and asked softly. First release https://https:// "It''s nothing, but he feels a bit familiar, but it''s not the person I know." Xia Yu said with a slight smile. Elena said softly without further questioning. The meeting is about to begin, and everyone finds a place to sit. v3 Chapter 668: Capital and politics "It turned out to be Jeffrey Howie!" Sitting in the crowd, Xia Yu saw the first 50-year-old man who was on the stage, and his eyes flashed with surprise. Jeffrey Howy belongs to the Conservative Party and is Margaret Thatcher''s right-hand man. He is now the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and is in charge of economic and financial affairs in the British cabinet. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is also known as the Minister of Finance. He is one of the four major ministers of state in the United Kingdom, and because he holds a purse, he has the status of the head of the four major ministers of state. According to the memory of later generations, Jeffrey Howe was the longest-term member of Margaret¡¯s cabinet. He will serve as Foreign Minister, Speaker of the House of Commons, and Deputy Prime Minister in the future. After he announced his resignation from all positions in 1990, Margaret also stepped down after three weeks. It is such an important person who has everything to do with every day, and he even ran over to participate in this financial industry gathering. Before coming, he didn''t know that Jeffrey Howy would show up. Xia Yu''s brain is running at high speed, thinking about the true purpose of Jeffrey Howie''s presence here. Just when he had a certain guess, Jeffrey Howie on the stage smiled slightly and started his own speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon everyone, it is an honor to be on this special occasion..." "I am here to announce some statistics to everyone. Under the wise leadership of Prime Minister Margaret, the unemployment rate in the UK has dropped by 1.15% in less than two months, and the downward trend in the economy of the whole society has slowed, especially In the financial industry closely related to all of you, capital investment is more active than before the change of term. In the past two months, a total of 520 million pounds of foreign capital has been invested in the UK..." "The Cabinet is now formulating a series of policies to stimulate economic and market development, but it still faces possible constraints on capital." "The British economy is about to recover. This is a historical opportunity. Gentlemen can choose to follow the trend of history and let their companies grow rapidly. You can also sit on the sidelines. Everyone has the right to choose the road. But I sincerely hope that everyone can enjoy it. A delicious feast of wealth, not only to your own benefit, but also to the people of the whole country..." "Let me see, it took up five minutes of your time, thank you for listening!" Jeffrey Howie looked at his watch, said with a smile, and after speaking, bowed slightly to the audience, and then walked off the stage. . On this platform where the financial industry gathers, even though he is the finance minister, he is still not the protagonist. With this opportunity, he has said everything that should be said, and the hint is obvious enough. If he still can¡¯t understand it, he can only say that the level is not enough and the strength is not enough. This kind of person is not a target the cabinet desperately needs. In fact, people don''t know, but Xia Yu can understand the meaning. "Feast of Wealth..." He chewed the word in his mouth, smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked around, and found many people with solemn faces and golden eyes. Obviously, the news was smoother than Xia Yu. "Calculating the time, it will start in more than a month." Xia Yu recalled it for a moment, and calculated it in his mind to get an approximate time point. Although no one has notified him now, Xia Yu knows very well that by October, Margaret¡¯s cabinet had completed the preliminary preparations, paved the way, and officially began privatization reforms. The first one was BP. And it will release 19% of the equity in a lump sum. In fact, in the United Kingdom, the proportion of state-owned components in sectors such as steel, aviation, automobiles, and oil extraction have reached 75%, 75%, 50%, and 25% respectively, and the oil extraction industry is the lowest. If it is for the good of the people, it is reasonable to start with a high proportion. After all, in the United Kingdom, the higher the degree of nationalization, the worse the operation of state-owned enterprises in the industry, the more serious the loss, the greater the retaliation against government finances. But that''s just thinking about it. You must know that this is a capitalist country, and the degree of capital''s influence on the government cannot be explained clearly in a word. It is precisely because the proportion of state-owned enterprises in the oil extraction industry is low that they will face greater competitive pressures. Under these circumstances, they can survive. It is conceivable how threatening private enterprises in the oil industry are. Xia Yu knows that the Margaret government''s attack on the oil industry is precisely because of the subsequent capital oppression, or profit feedback, to give back to the oil interest groups that support the Conservative Party. The previous government was the Labor Party in power. At the time of the general election, the opposition Labor Party''s campaign platform clearly advocated: Strengthening the government''s control over North Sea oil resources and oil production and transportation. This slogan was very popular and enabled the Labor Party to win the election. After the Labor Party came to power, just as the first batch of oil fields in the North Sea waters began to be produced, the Labor Party government issued the Petroleum Tax Act and the Petroleum and Underwater Management Act through the Parliament, which stipulated that the United Kingdom should be affected by the increase in international oil prices at that time. The crude oil produced in the North Sea is subject to an "oil revenue tax." These two bills greatly expanded the rights of the energy sector, and then the Labor Party government established the British National Petroleum Corporation, through which it strengthened the government''s control and supervision of the oil industry. Moreover, the Labor Party government shamelessly opened a policy link to BP and granted it some special rights and functions. The first is to ensure the supply of oil in the UK. BP has the right to buy and sell 51% of the crude oil produced by the oil fields in the North Sea in the British waters at market prices. This right represents the Labor Party government¡¯s representative to the operating agencies of the oil fields. The second is that in the fifth round of tenders in 1977 and the sixth round of tenders in early 1979, the government required that foreign companies that won the bids should allow BP to acquire 51% of the equity. Third, the Labour Party government has also awarded BP eleven sea areas as the operator of the block. Finally, it is stipulated that BP has the preemptive right to purchase shares in various mining areas in the North Sea area of ??the United Kingdom, and because the company transfers its profits to the government, it does not have to pay oil income tax. Under this situation, less than five years after its establishment, BP has become one of the largest oil companies in the North Sea. In 1978, the oil fields it purchased also began to produce oil. The company poses a huge threat. And in 1978, BP purchased and sold crude oil from North Sea companies worth 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, sold its own stock oil and self-produced oil for 400 million U.S. dollars, making profits for the first time. Under the situation of widespread losses in state-owned enterprises, BP has made unprecedented profits, and with so many privileges, private oil companies will be consumed, so it has naturally become a thorn in the eyes of all private oil companies. At the beginning of the year, the opposition Conservative Party seized the opportunity and put forward the slogan against the government''s intervention in the oil industry. Naturally, the oil interest groups made peace with the Conservative Party and strongly supported the Conservative Party to come to power. What the Conservative Party has to pay is to abolish BP¡¯s privileges and functions, restore all companies to the same starting line, and withdraw the government from the oil industry. It''s just that the privatization of BP does not mean that it will sell its shares to the original oil interest group, but that everyone is eligible to compete. Therefore, the Conservative Party government regards it as a huge bargaining chip to exchange interests with all parties. Just now, the treasurer Jeffrey Howy said it was very explicit. Although he did not say that he was working in the oil field, as long as people at the top level and mobilizing contacts can still know some policy news of the cabinet. Jeffrey Howy¡¯s meaning is obvious. If you want to be eligible for competition, you must put enough chips on the ship of the Conservative government to provide funds for the government¡¯s economic reforms, reactivate the quiet market potential, and let society¡¯s Money flows! Only when money flows, will it produce a series of economic benefits, and the government will be able to collect more taxes, and then use taxes to invest in various fields to improve people''s livelihood and develop the economy, thus forming a virtuous circle. Of course, these things are not something Xia Yu wants to consider He is already thinking about the equity of BP at this time. Others don''t know, but he knows that the Conservative Party government will give out 19% of the equity this time. The conditions have been laid out, and there is still room for manipulation. He does not need to take 5% of the equity, after all, this is simply unrealistic. He just needs a ticket, a ticket to venture into the British oil field! The equity does not need to be much, he is satisfied if he can get 1%. Now he does not have the strength to compete with the big consortiums in the UK and the Rockefeller consortiums in the United States. But as long as he gets a small amount of equity, he can drill a little bit bigger through this gap. When he is strong, he will not appear abrupt in entering the oil field and will not be targeted by the joint. Xia Yu looked at the Duke Carter Howard who was sitting on the VIP table, narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart.

From then on, this financial industry gathering was truly on the right track, and Jeffrey Howy¡¯s appearance and on stage can only be said to be an unexpected foreplay. In addition to the big foreigners, some heads of smaller or younger small and medium financial institutions seized this opportunity to take the stage. The main purpose is to increase exposure, show their abilities and companies, and try to accumulate reputation and heritage. If they can enter the real big It couldn''t be better to see the guy''s sight and reach a cooperation. Of course, there are naturally many young talents among them. They have certain unique views on the international financial situation and the financial development path of the UK, which has attracted the attention of a lot of real bigwigs. So many people are rushing to come on stage or show themselves, but Xia Yu and George Berkeley have no idea to come on stage. After all, Bright Fund has many secrets, and its own capital is temporarily sufficient for investment. If you don¡¯t have enough money, you can find banks to use leverage. Several private equity funds established now have also raised a lot of money, and their reputation continues to spread among investors. Therefore, Guangming Fund does not need the exposure of peers for the time being. Of course, Xia Yu will not go up and ask for trouble and attract the attention of the giants to himself or Guangming Fund. The more people pay attention to him, the easier it is to expose one''s own secrets, and the easier it is for future actions to be carried out under the eyes of others, and the risk increases. Is it not good to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, or sneak into the village? As time passed by, Xia Yu found that this financial gathering really benefited him a lot. Of course, it was not about the gains in terms of ability, but in terms of information, which made him feel that his sense of integration with British society has improved a lot. Although he has memories of previous lives, he is not his own after all, and after a few decades, it is inevitable that there will be a certain illusion and sense of estrangement. The order in the venue gradually became looser, and many people got together to talk in twos and threes. Xia Yu also got up and shuttled among the crowd, and met Duke Carter Howard with Elena halfway. Seeing the baby girl and Xia Yu appear together, Carter Howard, who has a different concept, did not behave any strangely. In addition, he also knew that his daughter worked for the Guangming Fund and had grown a lot. It would be nice to come with Xia Yu at this time. Watching and listening is also an exercise. You must know that before this, his daughter Elena hardly attended the cocktail party, let alone this kind of commercial cocktail party. He had called it so many times, but if he wanted to take his daughter to increase his knowledge, the daughter was unwilling. It is also a good thing to be willing to change now. After standing for a long time, seeing Elena condensing her eyebrows and moving her ankles from time to time, Xia Yu knew that she was tired while standing in high heels. Withdrawing quietly from the crowd, Xia Yu smiled and said to Elena: "After talking for so long, I feel a little thirsty, Elena, do you want to be together?" Elena smiled cheerfully: "Of course!" After all, the two went to the leisure area on the side, where a variety of delicious desserts, fruits and drinks were placed. Xia Yu poured a glass of juice, while Elena poured English black tea, and the two found a table and sat down. "Elena, how do you feel?" Xia Yu looked at Elena with a smile and asked softly. Elena looked at Xia Yu with some doubts: "What do you think? What do you mean?" Xia Yu smiled and looked at the crowd and said, "After listening to them talking on stage, do you have any ideas?" Elena suddenly, with her jade hand propped on her smooth and white chin, she tilted her head slightly for a moment before she said: "I feel that some of their opinions are very novel, and many of them are something I have never heard of, which broadens my mind. I have a vision and gave me a lot of inspiration, and the harvest is still very good. I think it will be helpful to my future work." "That''s good!" Xia Yu smiled cheerfully. The fact is true. After all, Irene only graduated from university a few months ago, and she has relatively little contact with social practice. Now she needs to adapt the theoretical knowledge learned in class to social reality, and then transform it into her real ability. It can be said that the people present here are the high-end and top-notch people in the entire UK financial industry. They all have their own outstanding characteristics, and they are worthy of the new learning of Elena, who is just entering the industry. When I was chatting with Elena, maybe I was tired of standing. Some people stopped chatting and came to the rest area. Some people even moved the conversation to the rest area. The only difference was that the volume of the conversation was deliberately controlled. Before you know it, the rest area here is almost full of people. That is to say, Xia Yu''s table is two young people, he and Elena, who seem to be lovers to others, so in order not to disturb Xia Yu''s Yaxing, no one came over. The surroundings were much noisier than before, and Xia Yu also temporarily ended the pleasant chat with Elena, his eyes swept around and observed. At this moment, he saw a middle-aged man hesitating in the rest area with a glass of red wine, seeming to be looking for a place. As it happened, his eyes met Xia Yu. Seeing this person, a sense of familiarity came to my face, it turned out to be him! A thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind, then he smiled and gestured to him, and made a please gesture, pointing to an empty seat next to his table. Seeing Xia Yu''s action, the middle-aged man did not hesitate too much, accepted Xia Yu''s kindness, walked straight over, thanked Xia Yu, and then sat down. "Hello, this is Julian Robertson. I work for Kidal Peabody Securities in the United States. I am glad to meet you!" Julian Robertson is the first to introduce himself. Xia Yu kept smiling and said, "My name is Xia Yu and I work for Xiangjiang Jiuding Financial Group. I am also very happy to meet you and toast to our fate." With that, Xia Yu raised the cup and looked at Julian Robertson with a smile. The latter was taken aback, and then showed a bright smile, raised his wine glass and touched Xia Yu lightly, and said: "I''m from the United States, you are from Hongjiang, and I met again in London, England. The goddess of luck must have appeared." Julian Robertson is also very good at communication and responded to Xia Yu''s enthusiasm with the same attitude. In an instant the distance between the two of them has narrowed a lot, at least it is a nodding friend. Seeing Julian Robertson looking at Elena and then at him again, Xia Yu introduced him: "This is Elena, come with me." "Hello, I''m Elena, nice to meet you!" "It''s an honor to know you. You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen in the UK. You are a perfect match, bless you!" Julian Robertson praised and offered sincere blessings to Xia Yu and Elena. Perhaps it was just now that I saw Elena and Xia Yu have been alone at the table, and Xia Yu did not say that they were friends when they introduced them. Julian Robertson subconsciously thought that they were a couple. As soon as he said this, Xia Yu didn''t make a decision. He looked at Elena, and saw Elena hadn''t reacted yet, she was in an ignorant and cute state. Seeing Xia Yu''s gaze, Elena came back to her senses. There were two attractive blushes on Qiao''s face. Her mouth squirmed to explain, but at last she didn''t say why, she lowered her head and looked at the black tea in front of her. It''s just that Xia Yu saw her trembling eyelashes and the blush on her face that still didn''t fade, and she knew the shyness in Elena''s heart. A strange feeling rose in Xia Yu''s heart, even a hint of excitement. He whispered to Julian Robertson, "Thank you!" As soon as these words came out, Elena''s face became even more ruddy, and her heart became flustered, and a strange emotion arose. I don''t know whether happiness, shyness, anger or other things, in short, can''t describe it in words. Julian Robertson''s unexpected help made Xia Yu look at him more friendly. "Even if you want to thank him, you still have to earn him!" A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 670: No one knows the treasure knife "Mr. Julian, I didn''t seem to see you go up just now. Would you have the honor to listen to your views on the British and international financial situation?" Because of his calculations, Xia Yu provoked the topic. Julian Robertson was a little surprised, and then said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Xia, you look too high at me. How can I be qualified to express my botched opinions? I''m just an ordinary employee of a middle-sized investment bank in the United States. " "If you are willing to waste precious time on me, of course I would be happy to explain to you a little bit of my common point." Xia Yu smiled and made a respectful gesture: "Mr. Julian, you are too modest, please!" In this world, everyone wants to have a loyal audience, so seeing that Xia Yu is not polite, but is solemnly preparing to listen, Julian Robertson is very happy, with a spirit of twelve points, and intends to do his best. Do your best to show yourself. Although he does not know what Xia Yu''s identity is, he himself is indeed an employee of a medium investment bank. The difference is that he has spent 19 years at Kidal Peabody Securities in the United States and is a highly qualified supporter. Talent is one of the best stockbrokers of Kidder Peabody Securities, not an ordinary employee. It is also a coincidence that this time to attend the financial industry gathering in London, the specific reason is not worth mentioning. Xia Yu quietly listened to Julian Robertson''s statement and nodded from time to time. Seeing Julian Robertson so young, Xia Yu had a weird feeling. There is this feeling because, like George Soros, Xia Yu also has part of Julian Robertson''s memory, but it is a later version. In this venue, even Julian Robertson himself will not know how high his future achievements will be and how legendary his experience will be. Xia Yu knew that although Julian Robertson was still working at Kidd Peabody Securities, his nineteen years of accumulation has given him a degree of knowledge and ability, who graduated from the Business School of the University of North Carolina. Already have each flying alone. On Wall Street, there are many people like him who have their own set of investment philosophy. They want to freely display their ambitions and create amazing wealth, so they choose to start their own businesses. The only difference is that some people just graduating from college, they just rush in innocently, and some get into their old age when they are about to retire and choose to fight in this magnificent era. And Julian Robertson has been through it for 19 years, and felt that the company¡¯s constraints and influence on him became more and more obvious. Many jobs were not what he wanted. It wasted too much time and energy for him, and it did not help his growth. Now, the idea of ??resigning and starting a business has arisen in his mind. According to the original trajectory, Julian Robertson will start his own investment company-Tiger Global Fund (referred to as Tiger Fund) in May 1980, focusing on global investment. Because Kidel Peabody Securities, where he originally worked, was only a medium-sized investment bank, and financial companies of this level had a lot of Wall Street, so few people knew his abilities and trusted him. The Tiger Global Fund is not an ordinary investment bank, but focuses on hedge funds, also called hedge funds or hedge funds, which means "risk hedged funds." Hedge funds use various trading methods to hedge, swap, hedge, and hedge to make huge profits. These concepts have gone beyond the traditional scope of operations to prevent risks and guarantee returns. In addition, the legal threshold for the initiation and establishment of hedge funds is much lower than that of mutual funds, which further increases the risk. In order to protect investors, U.S. securities regulatory agencies have included them in the ranks of high-risk investment products, strictly restricting the intervention of ordinary investors. It is stipulated that each hedge fund should have less than 100 investors, and the minimum investment amount is 1 million US dollars. The Tiger Fund has high investment thresholds and high risks, and Julian Robertson does not have enough reputation and record. This resulted in the newly established Tiger Fund with only a starting capital of 8 million US dollars. This little money is put on Wall Street where predators gather. It is not easy to do a business. If you don¡¯t pay attention, you will be eaten by predators. But he is not well-known. Except for the one million dollars he saved, the other seven million dollars of investment were all drawn from his old customers. Outsiders don¡¯t know his abilities and will not trust him. . So with the initial capital of 8 million US dollars, Julian Robertson began to focus on development. After nearly ten years of dormancy, the initial capital of the eight million dollars swelled to one billion dollars. Next, with a large amount of funds in hand, the use of leverage can magnify the funds to tens of billions or even tens of billions of dollars. In this case, the Tiger Fund has already gained considerable power. Julian Robertson started his own legendary road. He first accurately predicted that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German stock market would enter a bull market, and he was going to be long German stocks. At the same time, short-selling the equity stock market, where the bubble reached its peak, sucked the blood of small island nations. Then he foresaw the disaster of the global bond market in 1992, and successfully attacked the British pound and the lira in 1993 with the Quantum Fund, which created huge profits and made an international reputation. By 1996, the size of the Tiger Fund had reached US$71, and by the summer of 1998, its total assets had reached a peak of US$23 billion, making it once the largest hedge fund in the United States. The past impressive record has made the Tiger Fund¡¯s every move and every move attracted the attention of countless peers. Every time the Tiger Fund is launched, there are countless international hot funds that follow the trend. In addition, the Tiger Fund can also use financial leverage, which makes the Tiger Fund can affect hundreds of billions. U.S. dollar working capital. The deterrence of Tiger Fund can be called the level of financial peace messenger! The initial investors also received 2,600 times the report. After excluding all costs, the investor''s annual return rate was as high as 31.7%. Unfortunately, in the second half of 1998, the elderly Julian Robertson, like Buffett, kept away from technology stocks and Internet stocks. This led to some kind of investment mistakes and began to decline, which caused investor dissatisfaction and large-scale funding. At that time, the entire hedge fund industry also shrank significantly. Various reasons eventually forced Julian Robertson to end the business of many of his major funds. But even so, he is still a multi-billion dollar financial magnate in later generations. It can be said that today''s Julian Robertson is completely a tiger cub about to be released. In Xia Yu''s view, the ten years dormant in the previous life due to funding reasons completely wasted his ability and talent. Even so, he can still become an elite of the era at the same level as George Soros, and the two are definitely Wall Street figures. And George Soros has already invested in the Roshill family and the Quantum Fund has grown to a certain scale, it is completely impossible for him to earn under his command. However, Julian Robertson has never made his mark, so he can be used as a feather and let him open up territory for himself. People like Wang Qi, Liu Tianci, George Berkeley, Jason Gregg and others under Xia Yu¡¯s current life were either buried or died. Even if they grow up, they can¡¯t match the top-notch ones like Julian Robertson. Elite. I believe that with his financial support, Julian Robertson will definitely take off, and Xia Yu will insert a solid and powerful pillar in the United States. Such a sharp knife is not easy to find. The Rohill family has only collected three or five people, including George Soros, for decades. Now Xia Yu has encountered one, of course he does not want to miss it. His Jiuding Consortium desperately needs such top elites! Xia Yu has the memory of Julian Robertson and knows a lot about him. With Julian Robertson under his command, the success rate is still very high, it depends on how Xia Yu operates. The first thing to do is to use what he likes and to convince him with his ability and knowledge in what he is best at. And in this world, there are very few people who can defeat themselves, let alone defeat the complete self? It''s interesting to think about the investment philosophy that Julian Robertson summarized and formed in his later years to target him in his middle age. Thinking of this, Xia Yu listened quietly, and after finding an entry point, he acted immediately to take the conversation. "Mr. Julian, international crude oil prices have skyrocketed, and now the United States is experiencing severe inflation. The Federal Reserve is passing on pressure to accelerate the interest rate cut cycle. The depreciation of the dollar will continue for a long time..."

Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 671: Throw an olive branch Hearing Xia Yu''s talk about global investment, avoiding competition, long-short strategy and other concepts, Julian Robertson''s glasses became brighter and brighter, his attention became more concentrated, and from time to time he appeared in a daze. When encountering ambiguities, he would still argue with Xia Yu out loud, but no matter how he argued, it was Julian Robertson who was persuaded in the end. A joke, those ideas put forward by Xia Yu are actually classic investment ideas summed up by the later generations of Julian Robertson. Although some of them have taken shape, there are still some that only have signs in Julian Robertson''s mind. At this time, Xia Yu proposed it and analyzed it in light of current reality. Can Julian Robertson not be convinced? The more I heard it, the more Julian Robertson felt that Xia Yu was like his confidant, and he even felt like he went back to when he was consulting his tutor at school twenty years ago. Seeing Xia Yu and Julian Robertson talking wholeheartedly, she didn''t feel anything wrong. Instead, she watched and listened quietly with her chin, but she didn''t know when, her attention had been lost from the conversation between the two. The content was transferred to Xia Yu. The serious Xia Yu seemed to exude an extremely attractive light with a unique charm. It was this charm that attracted her and made her decide to stay after the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company. "He is younger than me next year, but he seems to know everything. Anyone who argues with him will eventually be convinced by him. He will always do things unhurriedly, but he will always be able to complete the layout without knowing it and achieve what he wants. Purpose, I still don¡¯t see how he is..." Just when Elena fell into her own space, Xia Yu used Julian Robertson''s classic investment philosophy to explode her madness and successfully convinced her. From the gleaming eyes that he now looks at Xia Yushi, it can be seen that he has been convinced by Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, you gave me too much shock. I have always believed that there are geniuses in the world, but you are the most genius person I have ever seen. I really... well, I''m a little incoherent, I don''t even know. What words should I use to express my feelings at the moment, sorry, I need to calm down!" In the face of Julian Robertson''s incoherent flattery, Xia Yu looked at him with a smile all the way, without denying anything. When he calmed down, Xia Yu realized that it was not early, and it was estimated that the party would end soon, and he had no time to continue chatting with Julian Robertson. Although Xia Yu still has a belly of goods, it is no longer necessary at this time, he has said enough, it is time to make the final blow. Therefore, Xia Yu rushed in front of Julian Robertson and said: "Mr. Julian, after listening to your point of view, I feel that you already have your own set of investment philosophy. You are definitely not an ordinary employee of Kidder Peabody Securities. , At least a top stock broker, I believe that with your help, your company will develop very well." Who knows, after hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Julian Robertson showed an inexplicable expression, shrugged like a wry smile, and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m just a stockbroker. I only have the right to advise on the company¡¯s development. I can¡¯t make company decisions.¡± Xia Yu showed an unexpected expression, blinked his eyes, hesitated for a while and said, "It seems that you are not doing well at Kidd Peabody Securities?" After that, Xia Yu didn''t wait for him to answer, and again said to himself: "Yes, the helm of every financial institution on Wall Street is an extreme autonomy and has its own investment and management philosophy. This is very difficult. Changed, I understand your discomfort!" "Thank you!" Julian Robertson smiled and thanked Xia Yu, looking at Xia Yu more gentle. Xia Yu responded with a smile and asked again: "Mr. Julian, why don''t you jump out of the current pool? With your investment philosophy and experience ability, if you work hard by yourself, you will not only have a happier life, but also Will embrace the Pacific!" There are a thousand cups of wine every confidant, but a few words are not speculative. Xia Yu''s previous offensives have left an indelible impression in Julian Robertson''s heart, and he feels like a confidant, although the two have only seen him for an hour or two. So facing Xia Yu¡¯s problem, and it¡¯s better for him, he thought about it, and there is nothing left to say anyway. It is also far away from New York, so he openly said, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your concern. Actually, I also have The idea of ??starting a business on my own also made an imperfect plan, but later I found that the opportunity was not yet mature. "Immature? What do you mean?" Xia Yu was not embarrassed and continued to ask. Julian Robertson said frankly the problems he faced: "The most important thing is the capital constraints. I want to start a business in hedge funds, but the high risks and high thresholds of hedge funds will discourage investors. Wall Street does not have enough reputation, it is destined that it is difficult for me to gain the trust of investors, and let them trust me to invest their money." Xia Yu appeared in a daze, thinking for a while and trying to explain: "They don''t know you. In fact, I think your investment philosophy and ability are no less than those at the helm of a large investment bank of Valkin Fund. It is them who missed investing in you. Loss." Julian Robertson felt warm and said gratefully: "Thank you!" Immediately afterwards, I saw Xia Yu pondering for a moment, as if he had made some determination, and suddenly looked at Julian Robertson, making the latter somewhat inexplicable. I heard Xia Yu say to him: "Mr. Julian, I appreciate your investment philosophy very much. We have a rare consensus in this regard. If you want to start a business, I can give you enough financial support and help you Enough investment, at least 100 million US dollars!" "And you can rest assured that I have my own business to operate. I have the same philosophy as you and will not restrict you in the company''s investment decisions." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think It should be difficult for you to find investors like me anymore." After speaking, Xia Yu quietly looked at Julian Robertson in amazement. Julian Robertson was really stunned. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to say these things, which he didn''t expect. But when he came back to his senses and pondered Xia Yu''s words back and forth, his heart moved. After talking with Xia Yu just now, he admired Xia Yu very much, and he also knew that the two people''s ideas were similar, and even Xia Yu''s ideas were higher than his, but they would not conflict. Such a person is willing to support him in starting a business. As long as there is no major change in concept, there will never be a split between investors and founders. For the founders or managers of some financial institutions on Wall Street, investors like Xia Yu are the most perfect. Only this kind of investor is most likely to share the wealth and difficulties. For hedge funds, they are not afraid of occasional losses. They are afraid that investors will withdraw their capital when they see the losses, and they are not willing to give fund managers any more opportunities. Investor exit is the biggest blow to a fund. It will greatly disrupt the investment deployment of the fund, which in turn will affect the overall return of the fund, and then fall into a vicious circle and eventually close down. Investors like Xia Yu are the least likely to retreat and can give the operators the greatest support. More importantly, Xia Yu promised to him that he could bring him at least one hundred million dollars in investment. This fund is too huge! Julian Robertson made a rough calculation when he had the idea of ??starting a business, and finally concluded that he could attract less than $5 million in investment. Xia Yu now gives twenty times! No wonder Julian Robertson is not in a mood. (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 672: $100 million But Julian Robertson is over forty years old after all, past the age of making decisions in the first place. Although he wanted to agree, he still had some worries in his heart. For example, is Xia Yu lying to him? What exactly is Xia Yu? If Xia Yu¡¯s investment is agreed, what might happen in the future? Is that situation he is willing to face or accept? He is the pillar of the family, with a wife and children to raise, and the pressure of life warns him to be more cautious when making any life-changing decisions. Such concerns made it difficult for him to make up his mind. However, Xia Yu was willing to invest 100 million U.S. dollars in him only after seeing him soon, which greatly moved him. In the Chinese dialect, Xia Yu had the kindness of knowing and encountering him. If this kindness was put into the Spring and Autumn Period or the Han Dynasty, it would be enough for him to repay his kindness. Of course, there is no such statement and plot in foreign countries, but it is enough to make Julian Robertson grateful from the heart. In this case, Julian Robertson rarely knows how to solve it. Fortunately, Xia Yu saw his difficulties and did not force him to express his position immediately. Instead, he gently exposed the topic, took out a business card and placed it in front of Julian Robertson¡¯s desk, and said with a smile: "Julian Sir, starting a business is a very rigorous thing. I don¡¯t want you to make a decision now." "This is my business card with the address and number on it. I will stay in London for a few days. You can think about it. I look forward to your reply!" Xia Yu''s understanding removed Julian Robertson''s embarrassment, and his subsequent actions moved him inexplicably. He took out a business card from his pocket, stood up, held it in his hands and solemnly handed it to Xia Yu, saying, "Mr. Xia, it is an honor to be recognized by you. This is my business card. Please accept it." Xia Yu also stood up, smiled and took the business card with both hands, looked at it and put it in his pocket solemnly. At this time, Julian Robertson carefully picked up the business card from the table, looked at it, and placed it in the chest pocket of the suit. "Mr. Xia, thank you again for your approval. I won''t let you wait for a long time. Up to three days, I will come to your door and give you an answer." Xia Yu took him so seriously, and Julian Robertson responded with a more solemn attitude. This is a respect for those who can value him. "Ok, I look forward to it!" With that, Xia Yu took the initiative to stretch out his hand. Julian Robertson immediately wiped his hands with the corners of his clothes, then bowed slightly and shook hands with Xia Yu. What should be said has been said, and what should be done has been done, just as Xia Yu saw that Duke Carter Howard seemed to want to leave, so he left with an excuse. "Mr. Julian, I have something to do, let''s take my leave first." "Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, goodbye!" "Goodbye!" Watching Xia Yu and Elena walk towards Duke Carter Howard, and talking and laughing, Julian Robertson''s pupils shrank, palms on his chest, and the importance of Xia Yu suddenly increased. "It seems that the most ideal investor is not easy. I must go back and investigate immediately." "Unexpectedly, when I came to England, I encountered something that could affect my life. Life is so magical..." After murmured, Julian Robertson did not stay too much, and immediately returned to the company''s permanent location, and then based on the name information given by Xia Yu, he launched his own contacts to investigate. Since Xia Yu agreed to reply within three days, he must collect enough information within three days before he can make a decision. In fact, Julian Robertson knew very well in his heart that he wanted to agree to Xia Yu, but because everything was unknown, he was worried that he would make the wrong decision. Collecting information now is nothing more than to convince yourself. Xia Yu also noticed this, so he didn''t worry at all. Julian Robertson asked him to check if he wanted to. I believe the information he found on the surface was enough to make him make up his mind. There are two flowers and one branch each. Let''s talk about Xia Yu and Elena. Soon after they came to Carter Howard''s circle, the group left. Taking into account the planning of the British Petroleum Corporation, after leaving the Hilton International Hotel, Xia Yu extended an invitation to Duke Carter Howard, inviting him to visit his manor. Duke Carter Howard was still hesitating, Elena saw the opportunity to help Xia Yu speak, and also brought her brother Henry with him. Seeing this situation, Duke Carter Howard could only agree with a little bit of laughter and tears, but his meaningful scrutiny eyes made Xia Yu''s heart a little bit, but fortunately, he was silent and pretended not to notice. While Elena went home to pick up her brother Henry, Xia Yu called Wu Hongyi and asked him to arrange two Chinese chefs from the Phoenix Building and prepare ingredients to go to his country estate together. At six o''clock in the evening, Xia Yu and his party returned to his manor in the suburbs of London. When he got out of the car, Henry couldn''t wait to find his master Li Wuming and asked him about Kung Fu. Duke Carter Howard had nothing to do and watched with interest. As for Xia Yu, he will arrange dinner tonight. Because he didn''t know the eating habits of Duke Carter Howard, he mixed Chinese and Western food tonight, and he could eat whatever he wanted. Unknowingly, the starry sky was full of stars, and the time came to 8:30 in the evening, and it was half an hour after dinner. Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard sat under the grape trellis in the courtyard outside the house. Several crystal lamps hung on the square grape trellis. The bright moonlight poured down and the worms whispered in their ears. The gentle evening breeze is breezy, drinking tea in this environment has a special charm. Xia Yuxiu''s kung fu tea craftsmanship, and the flowing movements contain a unique charm, making Duke Carter Howard nod from time to time. "Is this called Kung Fu tea? I have been to Xiangjiang when I was young and I have seen similar ones. I have to say that you Chinese have a profound knowledge of food. Just like tonight¡¯s Chinese dishes, the appearance is exquisite and the taste is novel. A pleasure." Carter Howard is worthy of a rebellious nobleman, without any pretensions, talking about the Chinese food culture enthusiastically, as if he were old friends with Xia Yu. "Hua Xia people really study food very well. It should be said that it is difficult to find more than Hua Xia in the world. For example, in terms of dishes, there are more than 50,000 types of Hua Xia dishes." Xia Yu responded with a smile without stopping. In fact, he doesn¡¯t know how many kinds of Chinese cuisine there are, but it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of kinds, so he reported 50,000 kinds. Anyway, the cowhide is blowing like this. He doesn¡¯t even know the specific number. Duke Carter Howard has ten fingers. Nobles who don''t touch Yang Chunshui are even less likely to know. Duke Carter Howard was really surprised by this number. He nodded in agreement: "What you said should be right. I agree with your point of view." "Sir Carter, please have tea!" "Thank you!" "Well, the taste is very refreshing, and it has a unique fragrance, which is much better than Indian tea." Duke Carter Howard is also a person who knows how to taste tea. He took a sip, closed his eyes for a long time, and then opened his eyes to say. Xia Yu explained with a smile: "This is Longjing before the rain, picked and made before the Qingming Festival in China. Before the Qingming Festival, the temperature was lower, the quality and nutrition of the tea were higher, and the taste was better. It is still brewed this year. The top-notch new tea produced, in ancient China, this kind of tea was tribute to the emperor." Duke Carter Howard heard about this for the first time A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, took another sip, smiled and said, "Then I have to have a good taste." "Sir Carter, I still have a hundred grams of tea here, you take it back and taste it slowly." Duke Carter Howard raised his brows, he did not be polite with Xia Yu, and he accepted: "It seems I have good luck, thank you!" "It''s my honor." "I heard from Elena that Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has developed two new cars and has set a high strategic goal?" After a sip of tea, Duke Carter Howard asked suddenly. Although the Howard family holds 20% of the shares in Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, he did not pay much attention to it except for the beginning. Anyway, his daughter Elena also went to the docking on behalf of the Guangming Fund, and he didn''t care about it at all, and let his daughter be responsible together, so she should be trained. Now I ask this question, because Elena talked to him before dinner two days ago, and gave him a high evaluation, which made Carter Howard a little curious. He was a little looking forward to the vitality of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in Xia Yu''s hands! Xia Yu smiled and explained: "Yes, I just visited the site some time ago. The company¡¯s designers are very capable, and the models designed are very novel. I feel that there is no car on the market that is more aesthetically pleasing. Deserving of those two cars." "I have great confidence in these two cars, and now I have asked the company to build sales and after-sales channels to prepare for future sales." "If you are free, you might as well go to the company to have a look, I believe you will not be disappointed."

(https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 673: Takeover offer "Sir Carter, according to the current international situation, Iran has acted recklessly and the Middle East has been unstable. Oil prices are estimated to be higher and higher in the future. If the United Kingdom wants to revive its economy, it must get rid of its dependence on Middle East oil and the United Kingdom''s energy. The industry is about to rise again, congratulations!" After talking to Duke Carter Howard for a while with Rolls-Royce Motor Company, Xia Yu suddenly said with emotion. Congratulations to him is that the Howard family is involved in the oil industry and holds a lot of shares in a large oil company in the North Sea of ??the United Kingdom. It can be said that the Howard family is also a member of the oil interest group. He will support the Conservative Party. In addition to his personal relationship with Margaret Thatcher, there are also factors in this regard. Carter Howard glanced at Xia Yu, and he heard the meaning hidden in Xia Yu''s words. It seems that Xia Yu didn''t know where he got the news that the Conservative government was about to take action against BP. Xia Yu''s purpose for inviting him tonight is already obvious. It is coveting BP''s equity and wants to achieve its goals through his line. With preparations in his heart, Duke Carter Howard was not in a hurry, he said lightly and continued to drink tea. "This is hard to say. Most of the benefits have been taken by BP. Even if the oil market expands, my earnings will not rise much." If you want to ask others, you must have an attitude of asking others. Therefore, Xia Yu directly points out: "Sir Carter, the British Petroleum Corporation can only occupy the advantage for more than one month at most. When it loses the special care of the government, it will definitely not be able to compete with the old brands. Oil company." "I know that Margaret''s cabinet is ready to start the privatization process of British Petroleum Corporation, and will take out a lot of equity at one time. Maybe people like you who own oil companies are not necessarily interested. "After listening to the conditions mentioned by Minister Jeffrey Howie today, I became interested in BP''s equity, and I have always made large-scale investments in the UK, and I am also eligible for competition." "It''s just that I am not a pure British person after all. I will inevitably encounter special targets during the competition, so I want you to do me a favor." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Duke Carter Howard quietly. He put down his teacup and looked at Xia Yu with fixed eyes, as if he wanted to observe something. For a long time, it seemed that Xia Yu was saying what he was saying. Duke Carter Howard did not directly refuse, but said with a light smile: "You know the situation you may face, and I can tell you clearly if you participate in the competition. , Will definitely be deliberately targeted to clean up the field, skin color is not the point, the point is that you are neither a pure British, nor have the level of strength of Mobil and Exxon." "I understand, so I just need a relatively level playing field, which is the best for the British people, isn''t it?" "And I only need a small amount of equity, which has little impact on anyone." Xia Yu smiled, the interface said. Duke Carter Howard fell silent, he seemed to be considering whether to help Xia Yu. And Xia Yu also quietly waited for his reply and possible conditions. Only the result surprised Xia Yu. After thinking about it for a minute, Duke Carter Howard did not offer any conditions, and agreed to help him: "You are good friends with Henry and Elena. I will help with this. " "But we have to change to a more concealed way. The two of us will form an investment company. The investment company will compete in the name of the Howard family. When the time comes, the number of shares acquired will be split in proportion to the investment company. The shareholding ratio will be discussed later." "I suggest you go to Prime Minister Margaret first. She has a good impression of you and let her know that your competitive bargaining chip is with me. This is more helpful to us." Xia Yu said gratefully: "I understand, thank you for your help!" "I said, you are a friend of the Howard family!" Duke Carter Howard said with a faint smile. Xia Yu smiled and agreed: "Yes, this is my honor!" Even though he said that, Xia Yu knew in his heart that it was because his strength had been able to make Duke Carter Howard value, otherwise he would not be able to help even if he wanted to help. And this busyness is indeed a simple task for Duke Carter Howard, he can do nothing at all, and the face of the Howard family is enough to send Xia Yu in. No one would save the face of the Howard family for this little thing, and the gain is not worth the loss! The next day, Xia Yu immediately asked George Berkeley to arrange for a cooperation plan while collecting information on BP. After ordering this matter, Xia Yu sent an application to the British cabinet to meet Prime Minister Margaret. I believe Margaret will arrange a time to meet with him after receiving the report. This is the difference between capitalist countries. Capital has close ties with the government and society. It is not difficult for capitalists to see the head of a country. Of course, the premise is that the capitalists must have some knowledge in their hearts and know whether they are qualified. There is no doubt that Xia Yu is definitely qualified! At 3:30 the next day, Xia Yu went to No. 10 Downing Street and stayed there for about ten minutes. When he came out, he looked calm, obviously in a good mood. He previously promised Margaret to invest 500 million pounds in the UK, and now a large part of it has been realized, and the inflow capital that can be found exceeds 300 million pounds, which proves that Xia Yu''s words count. Therefore, Margaret was very friendly to Xia Yu and welcomed Xia Yu''s desire to invest in the British petroleum industry. The government''s obstacles were removed, and the competitive bargaining chips were allowed to be transferred to the Howard family, Xia Yu was finally relieved. Next, only need to reach a cooperation agreement with Duke Carter Howard as soon as possible. In the past few days, Bright Fund has acquired more equity in the two companies. Today, Bright Fund holds 58.7% of Sotheby¡¯s Auction House, an increase of 9.5% from a few days ago. Except for 1.2% of these shares were acquired from the market, the rest were bought from minority shareholders. The only big obstacle now is the former Sotheby''s auction house''s largest shareholder, the one who served as the chairman and holds 23.7% of the shares. But this person has no room for resistance in the face of the absolute equity of Bright Fund, let alone other small shareholders. UU reading www.uukanshu. com In addition, it also owns 33.5% of Eskenazi Co., Ltd., which has increased by 2.9% in a few days, and it will be difficult to acquire it later. Faced with this situation, Xia Yu knew that there was no need to wait any longer, it was time to do it! "George, send someone to find the largest shareholder of Sotheby''s Auction House, buy his equity, first courtesy and then war. If he doesn''t agree to sell, he will directly expose the equity and threaten him. If it doesn''t work, he will call a board of directors to remove him from his position and dilute him. Equity." "The equity of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. is concentrated in the hands of the company, and it is announced to the public to issue a takeover offer to them!" After Xia Yu checked the situation, he immediately gave orders to George Berkeley in the studio. The two companies use two methods. Sotheby¡¯s auction house is going to be acquired. If it can be settled peacefully, it would be best to avoid the forced acquisition to cause the stock price to rise and spend more money. Unless it is a compelling situation, it will be forced. As for Eskenazy Co., Ltd., Xia Yu doesn¡¯t like it. If you want to use it as a bargaining chip, the stock price can of course not fall anymore, and the higher the rise, the better. Therefore, it is necessary to launch an offensive with fanfare. The greater the power, the better. Strive for more initiative. "Okay, I will act now!" After George Berkeley took the order, he acted immediately. In a small period, the equity information of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. was updated, and Bright Fund became the second largest shareholder with 33.5% equity, second only to the Eskenazi family with 53.8%. And after disclosing the equity information, the invitation was initiated to Eskenazi Co., Ltd. immediately. The popularity of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. has once again attracted a lot of media attention. (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 674: Choice determines life "Tuk tuk!" "Tuk tuk!" At the headquarters of Eskenazi Co., Ltd., executive president Giuseppe Eskenazi is holding a senior management meeting in the conference room to discuss ways to overcome difficulties. During this period of time surrounded by troubles, he was in a bad mood. Just when he was speaking, the sound of a hurried knock on the door planned his thoughts. He frowned and said in an angry tone: "Come in. !" As soon as the voice fell, a subordinate walked in with a panic expression, and said: "Chairman, something has happened. Just received the news from the exchange that Bright Fund holds 33.5% of the company''s shares and became a company. The second largest shareholder." The frizzy Giuseppe Eskenazi who had originally wanted to count his subordinates was shocked. He suddenly stood up from his seat, and other senior officials also stood up with solemn expressions and looked at the reporter. "Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" Giuseppe Eskenazi looked serious and looked at the reporting subordinates like a knife. "Chairman, I have confirmed it more than three times, and there is absolutely no mistake." The subordinate mustered up the courage and replied firmly. The words of his subordinates dispelled his last glimmer of hope. Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Giuseppe Eskenazi did not have any thoughts for a meeting. "The meeting is aborted!" He dropped these words and walked out of the conference room quickly. Ten minutes later, Giuseppe Eskenazi confirmed the news and mobilized contacts to learn about the foundation of the Bright Fund, his heart sank suddenly. Just before he could think about what to do, a letter from Guangming Fund was presented to him, with a line written on it-takeover invitation! He just turned it over and saw a part of it, and his face turned blue, panting like an ox, obviously burning with anger in his heart. The company is the core asset of the family and it is absolutely impossible to sell to Bright Fund. The other party wants to buy it, it is pure dream! Giuseppe Eskenazi directly refused. Just thinking that the Bright Fund had acquired 33.5% of the equity without knowing it, he was frustrated. During this period of time, he had suffered from blood mold for eight lifetimes. First, he was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion and his business was in a quagmire. Now there is another evil wolf, and he cannot relax for a moment. Could it be that the previous dilemma was caused by the Bright Fund? Such a thought flashed in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more likely she was, she couldn''t help but fall into deep thought... Of course, George Berkeley could not act on only one target alone. After sending someone to Eskenazi Co., Ltd. to send a takeover offer, he went to the headquarters of Sotheby''s Auction House. He followed the principle of his boss, Xia Yu, courtesy first, and every word was like a sharp knife hanging over the head of Sotheby''s auction house chairman Sam Nelson, exerting heavy pressure on him. After only half an hour, Sam Nelson''s face became a little distorted, like anger, sadness, and loss. The mixture of emotions made George Berkeley feel strange. Seeing Sam Nelson''s appearance, he gave him a lot of time to calm down thinking, leaving a sentence that he would come again tomorrow morning, then waved his sleeve and turned away. After George Berkeley left, the current chairman Sam Nelson sat in the revolving boss chair with the back of the chair facing the office door. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he stared blankly at the vehicles on the road downstairs and the pedestrians coming home from get off work. , The afterglow of the setting sun cast on his face. Ron Eric, the general manager standing behind him, seemed to feel a sense of depression and sadness emanating from Sam Nelson. Having witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, he understood the chairman''s mood very well. But he knows that he can''t get involved in this kind of thing. He is just a professional manager. The only special point is that he has been at Sotheby''s auction house for almost 15 years, which is indispensable for the rise of Sotheby''s auction house. An obliterated contribution. For a long time, Sam Nelson said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Ron, I did not expect that there would be such a day when financial pirates like to use the money in their hands to **** everything from others. I have seen many such things, but I did not expect to have One day will fall on me." Ron Eric comforted: "Chairman, fate is always so miraculous, you don''t have to be so pessimistic, things are not terrible yet..." Just when he said this, his words stopped abruptly, as if he didn''t know how to continue, or that he didn''t even believe what he said. Sam Nelson seemed to want to drive. He turned around to look at Ron Eric, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "You don''t have to comfort me. The Bright Fund holds 58.7% of the equity. I don''t have any chance to resist. I am at an absolute disadvantage, and the result of confrontation will only be that I will be diluted and annexed by wealth." Speaking of this, he was silent for a long time, and said regretfully: "I just regret finding out that it was late..." "Maybe this is my final destination. Twenty years ago, I was the owner of Sotheby''s auction house. The only difference is that my equity is not as high as Bright Fund, and the methods are relatively mild..." "Maybe I should be happy, the Bright Fund is not too cold, at least it gave me the price before the stock price fell, and selling them to them can be more than two million pounds more than the current market value heard Sam. Nelson said to himself, Ron Eric was mixed. "Ron, we have been working together for fifteen years. You are my old friend. Now I have earned more than two million pounds. I think you should congratulate me." "It''s been a long time since I went to Dakto''s restaurant. I am about to forget what his steak is like. Are you interested in trying it tonight?" Looking at Sam Nelson''s expectant gaze, Ron Eric sighed inwardly, smiled and said, "Of course I am interested." After that, the two clocked in and got off work and went to Dakto Restaurant in Fulham District. That night, in a top-class box of Dakto¡¯s restaurant, one person was so drunk that he was still talking about it, the other was listening quietly... That night, Julian Robertson picked up the phone in the room to make an international call. Soon after, his wife Rebecca answered the phone. After some greetings, Julian Robertson talked about telling his wife what happened in the past few days and his decision. "My dear, I have investigated his information in the past two days. Apart from his yellow race identity, he is definitely a perfect investor... I think with my current reputation and contacts, I can hardly find such a Great support and trust of investors..." "My dear, thank you for your support and encouragement. For you and your children, I will definitely succeed. Please trust me and love you..." After hanging up the phone, Julian Robertson shook his fist. With his wife''s understanding and support, he finally released all the burdens. "I have no reason to fail!" With a low growl, Julian Robertson''s eyes were full of firmness and confidence, as well as boundless expectations for the future.

Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 675: Financial tiger Chapter 675 In the early hours of the morning, two huge groups of dark clouds passed by London and accidentally collided together, bringing a shower of rain to London late at night. The showers came and went quickly. When the sun came out the next morning, the blue sky was like washing, and the weather seemed to be particularly good. The soft sunlight sprinkled on the ground, letting the water vapor on the ground evaporate, and people felt that the air was exceptionally good. Beautiful day begins! Giuseppe Eskenazi rejected the acquisition offer of Bright Fund. George Berkeley was not surprised by this and asked his subordinates to issue a second offer to continue the harassment. And this morning, newspapers headed by the ¡°Daily Telegraph¡±, ¡°Financial Times¡±, ¡°The Sun¡± and ¡°Daily Mirror¡± focused on the news of the acquisition of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. by Bright Fund, which cited A large number of sights came. Of course, after the London Stock Exchange opened, the stock price of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. rose all the way and began to regain the previously lost position. In addition, in order to raise the price, George Berkeley specially arranged for the People''s Republic of China to hang out the buy order with fanfare, which further boosted the rise of the stock price, and made the Eskenazi family who watched the stock price in real time angry. But they were helpless. They could only watch and even consider whether to join the competition, lest the Bright Fund get more equity and increase the threat. As for using outside tricks? They didn''t think about it, but after investigating the details of the Bright Fund last night, they suddenly died down. The Bright Fund was able to acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and it has a strong relationship with the Duke Howard family and an elusive relationship with the Conservative Party. Its own capital is strong, far above the Eskenazi family. No matter how you look at it, the Bright Fund is not something they can provoke. It just so happened that such a financial crocodile actually stared at their family, and had already opened a mouthful of blood at them, and they felt aggrieved. But it was their family who felt aggrieved. Some investors who did not sell their stocks shouted fortune, hoping that the higher the stock price, the better. Seeing this situation, Xia Yu smiled. What made him even more happy was that Sam Nielsen agreed to the acquisition request of the Bright Fund, and he directly accepted it. The back hand Xia Yu prepared is useless, but if you don''t use it, you don''t need it! Saved him a lot of trouble! Now George Berkeley has taken the purchaser to Sotheby''s auction house and is going through the formal procedures for acquiring equity. With the cooperation of Sam Nelson, I believe there will be good news soon. There are good things in pairs. As soon as Xia Yu was about to leave Guangming Fund and go to Huashang Bank, a subordinate knocked on the door and reported to him that a 40-year-old white man named Julian Robertson was in the downstairs lobby and wanted to see him. Xia Yu immediately smiled and asked him to bring Julian Robertson over. Two minutes later, Julian Robertson, dressed in a formal suit and energetic, arrived. After Xia Yu sent away his subordinates, he let him sit down. "Mr. Julian, good morning, I finally waited for you!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Julian Robertson has already made a decision, so he corrects his mentality in advance and looks more respectful of Xia Yu''s attitude. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, after two days of deliberation and after discussing with my wife, I have made a decision." "Thank you for your recognition, I am willing to accept your investment and advice!" Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled even more and stood up and reached out to him. Julian Robertson immediately got up and shook hands with Xia Yu. "Mr. Julian, happy cooperation!" "Thank you, happy cooperation!" After shaking hands, the two were seated again. Because of the verbal cooperation that has been reached, the distance between the two Limara is very close. "Mr. Julian, the company is managed by you, and the company has not yet been established. Do you have any plans?" Xia Yu asked with concern. Julian Robertson apparently made preliminary plans last night. He blurted out: "I have not resigned yet, so I plan to return to the United States to complete the resignation procedures, and then use my contacts to establish the company and wait until everything is ready. , Come to you again and plan the equity ratio of the fund based on the amount of investment funds. What do you think?" Speaking of this, Julian Robertson looked at Xia Yu closely. In fact, there is his careful thinking to do this. He could have been less troublesome, but he chose the most troublesome and procrastinating path. Xia Yu has promised to invest in him, but Julian Robertson is also an arrogant person, so it is naturally impossible to accept Xia Yu''s investment empty-handed. Therefore, he is going to resign and establish the company, so that he has at least something and can also show his abilities in the process of establishing the company, so that Xia Yu can feel at ease. After all this is done, when he accepts investment, he will have what an entrepreneur should have, and he will feel at ease accepting Xia Yu''s investment, and he can also fight for more when dividing interests. Xia Yu smiled secretly in his heart, he saw Julian Robertson''s plan at a glance. But he didn''t break it. It''s natural to consider his own interests. He smiled and said, "No problem, it''s safer to do this." "Then after you set up the company, come directly to Xiangjiang to find me. I will go back after a while. During this time, I will help you find more investment funds." Seeing that Xia Yu had no objection, Julian Robertson was relieved immediately. The eyes looking at Xia Yu became more friendly. He nodded and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you again!" "Don''t worry, I will buy this afternoon''s ticket later, and I will prepare the company as quickly as possible, and I will definitely not keep you waiting!" "I''m waiting for your good news!" "This is my other business card The above is my address and phone number in Xiangjiang. If you can¡¯t contact me, you can go directly to Jiuding Building in the Kowloon area of ??Xiangjiang. That building is mine. People inside can contact me." With that said, Xia Yu once again took out a business card and handed it to Julian Robertson. The latter happily took it and put it away. After chatting for a few more words, Julian Robertson bid farewell to go back to pack up and prepare for Xia Yu''s flight. Xia Yu sent him out of the company''s gate, giving him a lot of courtesy. Watching Julian Robertson''s car go further and further, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved. A knife comparable to George Soros is here! The Rohill family has George Soros, and he has Julian Robertson. With his intervention, Julian Robertson will rise ten years ahead of schedule, and George Soros will not dominate for ten years. And Xia Yu believes that with his support, the future of the Tiger Fund will be brighter than that of the Quantum Fund. In addition, if he intervenes, the Tiger Fund is at least equivalent to having George Soros and Julian Robertson. How could George Soros, who is still in middle age, be an opponent? With his help, Tiger Fund can definitely grow into a well-known financial tiger! If this matter is resolved, it is a worry, as long as the Sotheby''s auction house and antiques are resolved, he can return to Xiangjiang. As for the BP matter, if he and Carter Howard have reached an agreement, it will be enough to leave it to George Berkeley. PS: The new week has begun, please ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you! (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 676: Enduring foundation At 11 o''clock in the morning, George Berkeley returned home with a load. With a price of 69 million pounds, he won 23.7% of Sam Nelson''s equity. In the past two days, the Bright Fund won another minority shareholder and acquired a 1.5% stake in Sotheby''s auction house. Together with the original equity, Bright Fund now holds a total of 83.9% of the equity, costing ¡ê202 million. The result is no suspense. Looking at the equity certificate and equity transfer contract that George Berkeley got back, Xia Yu smiled. "George, next I will invest money to transform Sotheby''s auction house. The current market value is too low. Delist Sotheby''s auction house and strive for completion in ten days." Xia Yu put down the contract, smiled and ordered George Berkeley. "Ok!" George Berkeley nodded in response. Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and then told him: "Push Eskenazi Co., Ltd. a few more times to cause them more trouble!" He didn''t want to spend any more time with the Eskenazi family, and forced them out early, completed the plan early and returned to Xiangjiang. George Berkeley took the order. As soon as the London Stock Exchange opened in the afternoon, a piece of news caused an uproar among many people. Bright Fund acquired all the shares in the hands of Sam Nielsen, the largest shareholder, with a shareholding ratio of 83.9%, and applied to the exchange for privatization. The exchange has formally approved it. Many investors who were expecting Sotheby''s auction house''s share price to soar like Eskenazy Ltd. were dumbfounded. But looking at the Sotheby''s auction house, which has been suspended, they can only accept this fact unwillingly. There is only one way out for them, waiting for the Bright Fund to announce the privatization price, and then sell the shares to them. in the afternoon. After work, Xia Yu did not go to Huashang Bank, but to the Financial Times Group. Because the financial index he asked Clyde Albert to do before has finally taken shape after repeated inspections and bug checks, and it will be released soon! Such an important historical moment, Xia Yu, as the creator in the practical sense, will certainly not miss it. The fifth floor of the Financial Times Group, FTSE Index Co., Ltd. Clyde Albert confidently introduced Xia Yu about the company''s situation and the research results of the FTSE 100 Index and FTSE 250 Index. He also asked the R&D team to test the advancement and representativeness of the two indexes on site. It is not worse than the previous life, and even because Xia Yu knows more mature FTSE index information, the index that has not been released now is more advanced and scientific than the first released in the previous life. After reading it, Xia Yu immediately ordered Clyde Albert to hold a press conference as soon as possible to build momentum for the FTSE Index. Although the Financial Times Group has the No. 1 magazine in the UK financial sector, The Economist, and the No. 1 authoritative newspaper, the Financial Times, these two platforms are enough to make the FTSE Index come out at a very high starting point. But Xia Yu knows what the FTSE index means to the UK financial sector. It is best for him to allow the FTSE index to spread as quickly as possible and to establish influence and authority, even if it is worth the price. For the boss Xia Yu''s decision, Clyde Albert agreed with both hands and immediately implemented it. At ten o''clock in the morning of the next day, the press conference officially began. Under the money offensive, various media rushed in and crowded the entire conference site. After the press conference, the major TV stations were the first to report, and in the noon news, the FTSE index was reported. Then the Evening News and the Evening News continued to report that the FTSE Index was directly heated up, causing heated discussions among the public. More and more people are paying attention to this matter. By the early morning of the third day, both the Financial Times and The Economist published the FTSE 100 Index and the FTSE 250 Index. The first to learn is the people in the financial industry. These people have strong discernment. After a simple deduction, they immediately discovered the professionalism and representativeness of the FTSE Index, and then immediately organized the company''s elite to conduct a comprehensive verification. The result of the verification is self-evident. The FTSE index can reflect the movement of the London stock market the fastest! FTSE Indices can provide a great help for investors in stock selection! Especially for those investors who don''t understand it, there is unparalleled help. Even the financial elites of major companies say yes, do you still need to question it? The previous stock picks were dizzy and may not have chosen the right stocks. It doesn''t matter now, there are FTSE 100 Index and FTSE 250 Index. After rigorous investigation and analysis, the FTSE index companies have eliminated most of the thunder for them. Now they can be completely free of brains. Just close your eyes and catch the 100 constituent stocks of the FTSE 100 index. Just buying the 250 constituent stocks of the FTSE 250 has a higher probability of making money than blindly choosing. The FTSE Index is on fire, and it¡¯s still on fire! On the day of the release, twelve financial institutions sent cooperation applications to FTSE Index. And the sales of The Economist magazine and the Financial Times newspaper also rushed to a peak. The FTSE index will reach the top as soon as it is released. As long as the level is maintained, the London stock market and European stock market will be branded with the FTSE index, and the Financial Times Group will be invincible! ... Vidorio Eskenazi, the founder of Eskenazi Co., the British Eskenazi family estate, came from Milan, Italy. He is the founder of the company, he has reached seventy-five years old, and his energy is no longer vigorous, so he returned to his home in Milan to spend his old age and handed over the business to his nephew Giuseppe Eskenazi. It''s just that this time there was such a big trouble, he couldn''t sit still, so he flew from Milan to London. Seeing his uncle''s arrival, Giuseppe Eskenazi was very surprised, and quickly helped him to sit on the sofa in the living room. As soon as he sat down, the old Victorio said, "Giuseppe, I heard you are in trouble?" Giuseppe Eskenazi lowered his head in shame, and replied, "Yes, uncle, I''m sorry!" "I don''t need to apologize, shouldn''t you tell me what happened now?" Old Victorio shook his head slightly and said. Giuseppe Eskenazi was silent for a moment, and told the story one to one. After listening to the old Victorio, he immediately said: "Obviously, you should not provoke the old Chinese man named Huashengshi. The Bright Fund also has a Chinese shareholder, and he should be the one who targeted us." Giuseppe Eskenazi nodded in agreement: "I also think it is him, but we don''t have any evidence to prove it." "What do you need evidence to do? As long as we believe that it is him, it will be clear if we ask in person?" "Sotheby''s auction house has been acquired by the Bright Fund. If we are boycotted by Sotheby''s auction house, the company''s situation will be even worse." "You should understand that we are not the only company that can provide top auction items!" "Moreover, the field of Chinese cultural relics you intend to set foot in has lost its vitality, and we have no bargaining chips!" What the old Victorio said made Giuseppe Eskenazi speechless, but after he was silent, he said reconciledly. "Uncle, I¡¯m just not reconciled. I have investigated. Chinese cultural relics will have great prospects in the future. Just like the island¡¯s cultural relics now, the island¡¯s economy was underdeveloped 20 years ago. We laid out ahead of schedule and now harvest delicious food. Results." "The number of Chinese in the world is more than ten times that of islanders, and the market for Chinese cultural relics will only be larger than that of island cultural relics!" The old Victorio hit him mercilessly, which is also a way of enlightenment. "Giuseppe, that was just a possibility before. Now the Huaxia cultural relics market has been hit hard, and the other party also has Sotheby''s auction house. As long as they want, the price of China cultural relics is difficult to be fired. There is no need to use limited funds to gamble. A misty future." "Give up. Didn''t you just say that the equity of Bright Fund has risen to 34.7%? They have been fighting for power on the board of directors. Although they can''t take away the company, they can make the company stagnate or even regress!" The living room fell silent again. After a long time, Giuseppe Eskenazi sighed and finally made up his mind. He nodded and said: "Uncle, I know what to do. I''m sorry that my choice has caused the family a huge loss." Old Victorio had a good mentality. He smiled and shook his head and said, "No, you don''t have to blame yourself. Your business and plans have never been wrong. The only fault is that Goddess of Luck did not take care of you this time." "On the road of business operation, you will encounter various stone obstacles If you can clean it up, try to clean it up. If you can''t clean it up, change the road. All roads lead to Rome. Success will ultimately belong to you!" "Thank you for your enlightenment, I will go find them for a showdown now!" "Go, I''ll wait for your news at home, if you encounter something you can''t decide, come back and tell me!" "I will!" After speaking, Giuseppe Eskenazi got up, took a suit from the support hanger and put it on his body, and set off for the company. An hour later, Eskenazi Co., Ltd. Giuseppe Eskenazi and George Berkeley sat face to face. "Mr. Berkeley, let''s not waste time, please tell the person behind you, I want to talk to him!" Giuseppe Eskenazi said with a gloomy face. George Berkeley was taken aback, and then smiled inexplicably. He waited for these words. "I can''t call the shots, but I will take your words back." George Berkeley said ambiguously. Giuseppe Eskenazi couldn''t deny it, and said lightly: "I''m waiting for your news!" After speaking, he made a please gesture. George Berkeley smiled faintly, he felt the anger hidden in Giuseppe Eskenazi''s heart. But he didn''t care, it was expected. It''s not normal if Giuseppe Eskenazi doesn''t fire up! Since the other party doesn''t welcome him, he doesn''t want to stay too much. Anyway, the initiative is on their side, and the boss will naturally clean up him when the time comes. Giuseppe Eskenazi definitely can''t beat the boss, he firmly believes that! Seeing George Berkeley''s back, Giuseppe Eskenazi clenched his fists, but finally let go weakly. (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 677: Stick deterrence Looking at Xia Yu sitting opposite, Giuseppe Eskenazi''s eyes were shocked. He did not expect that it was such a young Chinese who made him unable to cope and caused the family to suffer huge losses. An extremely unwilling emotion suddenly appeared in his heart. Seeing Giuseppe Eskenazi''s face constantly changing, Xia Yu smiled and said aloud: "Mr. Giuseppe, you seem surprised?" Xia Yu''s words brought Giuseppe Eskenazi''s attention back, and he said with a cold face: "I am very surprised. I know you are not trying to acquire my company. What do you want to do with this?" Haven''t been stunned yet! Dig a hole for him calmly as soon as he speaks, weakening his initiative. Xia Yu secretly said in his heart. "Mr. Giuseppe, how do you look down on your company? In my opinion, your company has a high value and is a very good acquisition target." "You offer a price to sell me the equity held by your family." Xia Yu said lightly. Giuseppe Eskenazi immediately refused: "This is impossible. The Eskenazi Co., Ltd. is a non-sale product of our family. Our family holds more than 50% of the shares. You don¡¯t have to waste time. It is absolutely impossible to succeed!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "There is no non-sale in the world, everything has a value, Mr. Giuseppe, you might as well make a price!" Seeing that Xia Yu had been holding on to this point, Giuseppe Eskenazi was panicked, and there was nowhere to vent his depression. He still didn''t believe that Xia Yu really wanted to buy the family''s company. Now Xia Yu keeps saying this, it''s nothing more than what he said just now. He used the same method to fight back. Realizing that if you don''t change the topic, you might be endless, and it''s not good for him to dwell on it, so he skipped the topic and made the matter clear. "Mr. Xia, that Huashengshi is your subordinate, right?" Xia Yu''s face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly and said lightly: "You can say so." Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s attitude, Giuseppe Eskenazi¡¯s heart raised an unnamed fire. He took a deep breath and held the fire, and asked questioningly: ¡°Our company¡¯s acquisition of cultural relics is a formal business. Isn¡¯t it possible for him to compete for a batch of cultural relics?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and said with a cold face: "Are you questioning me?" Giuseppe Eskenazi''s words were choked, and he didn''t know how to answer. Reason told him that it is best not to conflict with Xia Yu in order to solve the problem, but he didn''t think he was wrong. Seeing Giuseppe Eskenazi¡¯s silence, Xia Yu returned to calm, leaning back on the back, and said with a sneer: ¡°Since your family¡¯s company is listed, you must abide by the business rules and we will acquire you. The company¡¯s stock is also in accordance with normal business procedures." "Mr. Giuseppe, Bright Fund now holds 34.7% of Eskenazi Co., Ltd., and in accordance with the provisions of the Public Company Law, we will have six director seats. As long as we acquire another 0.3% of the shares, we will have seven Director seats." "In our opinion, there are certain disadvantages in the development strategy of Eskenazi Co., Ltd., as partners and common interests, we will make due contributions and explore a brighter future for the company. Better development direction." Hearing this, Giuseppe Eskenazi''s face suddenly darkened. Xia Yu is threatening outright. Just torn his face and pointed at his nose and said, ¡®We have so much equity, we must fight for the corresponding rights. In the future, I will fight with you to the end¡¯. Although because of the equity ratio, as long as they don¡¯t sell the equity, Xia Yu¡¯s party will not take control of the company. But thinking that Xia Yu will go against their family in everything in the future, the company will be in chaos, and he cannot accept it. If Xia Yu is determined, he would rather lose his profits to drag the company back. Their family will definitely suffer heavy losses. Eskenazi Co., Ltd. may lose money and go bankrupt! Faced with Xia Yu''s rogue behavior, Giuseppe Eskenner wanted to vomit blood, but he was helpless. He couldn''t really verify whether Xia Yu dared to do this! He didn''t dare to bet, nor can their family bet! In the verbal struggle with Xia Yu, he was defeated! Hey... Forget it, just accept it! After making a decision in his heart, Giuseppe Eskenazi forced himself to remain calm and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, we don''t need to say more about things that haven''t happened in the future." "The Chinese cultural relics market in the UK has been hit hard. Eskenazy Co., Ltd. will abandon this business. Are you satisfied?" "I hope you will sell the equity to us, the conditions are up to you, but not too outrageous!" Hearing this, Xia Yu showed a smile, looked at Giuseppe Eskenazi with a teachable look, and said with a smile: "That''s right, we can negotiate peacefully, why bother? " In order not to get angry, Giuseppe Eskenazi chose to ignore Xia Yu''s words. Looking at the other party with cold eyes and looking straight, waiting for him to make a condition, Xia Yu smiled and said, "That said, there are no non-sale items in the world. You have to buy back the equity. As long as the price is right, we are of course willing to sell. ." "But I want the Chinese cultural relics that your family collects, oh, yes, all Chinese cultural relics!" Giuseppe Eskenazi suddenly changed his face, and his reaction was very big. He refused without hesitation: "Impossible. The value of the equity in your hands is far less than all the Chinese cultural relics in our family''s collection. I will definitely not Agree, only part of it can be replaced!" Xia Yu was unmoved, and said lightly: "Don''t be so nervous!" "Except for those equity, I will make up the difference with cash, but I need all the Chinese cultural relics!" Giuseppe Eskenazi fell silent, his expression constantly changing, and Xia Yu''s words sounded again when he wanted to argue. "You said just now that the Chinese cultural relics market is destined to be in a downturn in the future, and I also told you clearly that as long as I am here, no one in the UK will want to speculate on the price of Chinese cultural relics I have capital and You consume it!" "The Chinese cultural relics in your family''s collection were originally taken from my homeland by you bandits in the last century. Now they are nothing more than the original owner." "If I were you, I would definitely not keep a bunch of Chinese cultural relics that are destined to be unsold. I might as well exchange it for cash to develop other businesses. If you want to hype, you can hype island cultural relics. You should be very clear. People are much richer than Chinese!" Every word of Xia Yu hits the bottom of Giuseppe Eskenazi''s heart. Although he doesn''t like Xia Yu''s words, he is rationally told that agreeing to Xia Yu''s request is the best choice. For a long time, Giuseppe Eskenazi said: "How can you guarantee that you will not target our family company next time?" As soon as he said this, Xia Yu looked at him with an idiotic look, and said with a chuckle: "Our company bought Sotheby''s auction house not because there was too much money and no place to spend! Actually, leaving aside the Chinese cultural relics, I think We can still cooperate very well!" Giuseppe Eskenazi was awake in embarrassment. He admitted that he had been confused just now, and he had lost his horns. He didn''t even think of such a simple logic. In order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly said: "I have no right to agree to your request. I need to go back and discuss with the family." Xia Yu made a please gesture and smiled lightly: "I believe your uncle Victorio is a sensible person. Tomorrow afternoon I will send someone to Eskenazi Co., Ltd. again, hoping to get what I want. answer." "It''s getting late, I still have something to do, so I''ll be out of company first!" After speaking, Xia Yu got up and left with his subordinates, leaving only Giuseppe Eskenazi to sit blankly. (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 678: Do it with confidence The Eskenazi family. "...Uncle, this is all the situation this afternoon. I''m really sorry. If it weren''t for me to open up the business of Huaxia Cultural Relics and compete with his subordinate Huashengshi, it would not attract his attention... " Giuseppe Eskenazi told his uncle Victorio what he had talked with Xia Yu this afternoon, and couldn''t help but fall into self-blame after he finished speaking. The old Victorio interrupted his nephew¡¯s self-blame and said in old words: "Well, Giuseppe, things have happened, you don¡¯t have to blame yourself anymore, you did not do anything wrong, your original intention is for the family Business, but lack of luck." "I know you are still unwilling and unwilling, but we must take Xia Yu''s words seriously. Keeping the Chinese cultural relics is of little use. If you don''t give him all the Chinese cultural relics, even if this difficulty is over, you will still face it in the future. trouble." Giuseppe Eskenazi was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "I understand, then I promise them tomorrow!" "Ok!" "Let''s go, maybe the Chinese cultural relics that have been in the family treasury for seven or eighty years will be gone soon, let''s go and see first." Old Victorio said with emotion, and then walked in one direction with his nephew. Over the years, the Eskenazi family has shifted its focus to London, England. There is nothing left in Milan, Italy. Milan is mainly used by him for the elderly. Therefore, the antiques and cultural relics collected by the Eskenazi family have been transported here one after another over the years, and they are placed in a huge basement. Soon, the two nephews and uncles came to a big iron gate, and Giuseppe Eskenazi took out the key and opened the gate... ... At 11 o''clock in the morning of the next day, the headquarters of Bright Fund Company. Xia Yu sat in the chairman''s office, listening to George Berkeley''s report on the opposite side. After listening, he smiled with satisfaction. "Good job!" George Berkeley has just returned from Eskenazi Co., Ltd. and reached a preliminary verbal agreement with Giuseppe Eskenazi, agreeing that Bright Fund will use Eskenazi Co.¡¯s equity and cash in exchange for it All the Chinese cultural relics in their family collection. The specific value requires further consultation between the two parties. After all, there are more than 6,000 Chinese cultural relics, it is too difficult to calculate a specific value. "George, I will find someone responsible for the China Cultural Relics. Next, you will continue to arrange for someone to buy the stock of Eskenazi Co., Ltd., which will push the stock price higher." Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered. George Berkeley smiled and nodded in response: "Good boss!" Although a verbal agreement has been reached with Giuseppe Eskenazi, Xia Yu has done things steadily and will never let go until the last minute. Whether to continue to acquire the shares of Eskenazi Co., Ltd., it can supervise the progress of the other party, so that Giuseppe Eskenazi dare not relax. And to maintain a high stock price, the Bright Fund will pay less by then. I believe that seeing this scene, the Eskenazi family is absolutely uncomfortable, but there is no alternative, the only way is to meet Xia Yu''s request as soon as possible, and send him away as a plague god. After that, Xia Yu went to the Treasure Pavilion. During this time, Hua Shengshi stayed in the Treasure Pavilion. "Boss, you are here, Master is in the inner hall, I''ll call him out." When Xia Yu came to Treasure Pavilion, Hua Lao''s apprentice was wiping the handicrafts. After seeing Xia Yu, he immediately put down the work in his hand and said. "No, you are busy, I will go in by myself!" After speaking, Xia Yu walked straight to the inner hall. Xia Yu found Hua Shengshi in the Porcelain Pavilion on the second floor. Wearing white gloves and glasses, he carefully looked at a porcelain jar in his hand. The porcelain pavilion that originally contained more than a hundred pieces of porcelain was already empty. Only a dozen pieces of porcelain were placed, all of which were purchased later. The porcelain that was placed here had already been moved to Xia Yu''s house. Hearing the footsteps behind, Hua Shengshi thought it was his apprentice, and he asked without looking back: "Ade, what''s the matter?" "Old Hua, it''s me!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Hua Shengshi had a meal and then turned around. After seeing Xia Yu and Li Qian and others, he smiled delightedly: "Mr. Xia, Miss Li, you are here." "Well, Mr. Hua, when was this acquired? It looks like a boutique!" Xia Yu looked at the porcelain jar in Hua Shengshi''s hand and asked. When he asked about antiques, Hua Shengshi''s spirits trembled, and he introduced Xia Yu with vigour: "This was bought from a farmer''s house in the Westminster countryside, and 16 pieces of porcelain cost 500 pounds. I got it, hehe, I picked up a big leak. This is the best one. It is a Yuan blue and white peony and cloud dragon pattern jar, a rare boutique in Yuan blue and white..." Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and listened to him quietly. After a long time, Hua Shengshi finished the introduction with inexplicable talent. Seeing Xia Yu and Li Qian and the others are still standing, he showed a sudden realization. I found you are still standing, there are no stools on it, let''s go down and sit and talk!" After finishing speaking, he carefully put down the Yuan blue and white peony cloud dragon pattern pot in his hand, took off his gloves and put it there, and then took Xia Yu and the others downstairs. After making the tea, I finally talked about things. "Mr. Xia, what are you doing this time?" Hua Shengshi asked. Xia Yu smiled and said: "It''s a good thing. I have taken the Eskenazi family. They have collected more than 6,000 Chinese cultural relics. I need to trouble you to help me estimate the price and move it back." "More than six thousand pieces!" Hua Shengshi stood up abruptly and looked at Xia Yu in shock. Xia Yu nodded and confirmed again: "Yes, it is more than 6,000 pieces!" "HahaOkay, okay, hahaha..." Hua Shengshi laughed, his eyes gradually moistened. Seeing Huashengshi''s gaffe, Xia Yu was full of emotion. This is why he admires Hualao. He is full of affection for Chinese cultural relics and is patriotic, worthy of the admiration of every Chinese. "Mr. Xia, don''t worry, I will do my best! Is there anything else you want to tell? If not, let''s set off now?" Hua Shengshi couldn''t wait to say. "Don''t worry, sit down and wait for me to finish." Xia Yu couldn''t laugh or cry, and asked him to sit down again and said, "Because there are more than 6,000 antiques this time, and the number is huge, you can''t do it alone. In order to speed up, it is best to find someone to help." "Moreover, when you are appraising, you always keep pressing down on the price you have missed. You can buy it at the price of cabbage. The initiative lies with us. You always do it with confidence!" Hua Shengshi said cheerfully: "Mr. Xia, don¡¯t worry. I haven¡¯t learned anything else in the past few decades. The skill of bargaining and fooling people is not bad. The Eskenazi family has more than 6,000 Chinese antiques. They know at best. Part of the value, and knowing it is not accurate." "I have a profound and profound Chinese culture. I dare not say how much I understand. They are even less likely to know. They don''t understand the cultural connotation behind each antique. The price is definitely ours." "You are always right, it''s best to buy it back by the catty." Xia Yu smiled and shouted. "Now I am holding onto their company''s equity. They can''t wait to complete the transaction soon. You always seize their mentality and act with confidence." "Just pay attention to these!" "I see, Mr. Xia, just wait for my good news!" (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 679: Resolve the indignation in the past life The antique matter was handed over to George Berkeley and Hua Sheng Shi, and Xia Yu became more relaxed. The employees left by the Galaxy Fund continue to operate London Gold, but because the price of London Gold has been rising steadily, the workload is not large. Most of the time, they just look at it and watch the funds increase... And the Bright Fund does not need to be in charge of Xia Yu. George Berkeley can easily deal with things like buying bank stocks and speculating in US dollars/pound sterling. Therefore, Xia Yu continued to devote his energy to the construction and improvement of Huashang Bank. Unconsciously, time came to September. Sotheby''s auction house finally recovered all shares and completed the privatization. From the beginning to the completion of the acquisition, a total of 240 million pounds was spent. After the acquisition, Xia Yu personally went to Sotheby''s auction house, and after some understanding, he left the original general manager Ron Eric. Ron Eric is just a professional manager. The information provided by the Bright Fund shows that he is a pure person with high professional ethics. Although he has a good relationship with Sam Nelson, he does not have many other complicated relationships. Moreover, Xia Yu discovered that Ron Eric had spent fifteen years in the position of general manager, and he knew so well about Sotheby''s auction house, and even the company was able to develop to this level. Xia Yu was not worried about what he was doing, so he simply let him continue to control Sotheby''s auction house. However, like the heads of the cashier, finance and personnel departments, Xia Yu dismissed mercilessly. Korn Ferry has developed very well in the UK business, and Xia Yu easily found satisfactory talents to fill the vacancies. Afterwards, Xia Yu had a good chat with Ron Eric all morning, and told him about the future development direction of Sotheby¡¯s auction house and the strategies available for development. At the same time, he also injected 30 million pounds into the acquisition. Art center and exhibition gallery, establishment of branches, contracted artists, etc. After dealing with Sotheby''s auction house, another good news came, and the transaction with the Eskenazi family was completed. The equity held by the Bright Fund was valued at 28 million pounds. The 6,218 Chinese cultural relics of the Eskenazi family cost 53 million pounds, an average of less than 10,000 pounds. Although the good and the bad are mixed, in Xia Yu''s view, the total value is definitely far more than 53 million pounds. This price is absolutely super value. After 40 years of existence, this batch of antiques is worth at least tens of billions of yuan. However, compared to the purchase of Huashengshi from ordinary people or poor aristocrats who do not know the goods, the current price must be high. After all, the Eskenazi family has been running the antique and cultural relics business, and there are still some vision and thinking. In the end, the Bright Fund paid out the equity in Eskenazi Co., Ltd., plus 25 million pounds in cash, to obtain all the antiques. Due to the large number of antiques, even Xia Yu''s country manor could not fit. Therefore, Xia Yu bought another manor near the manor and asked Hua Shengshi to pull all the antiques over for temporary storage. Thinking of obtaining such a large amount of Chinese antiques, Xia Yu couldn''t help but itch, and drove with Li Qian and others. Entering the manor, Xia Yu found that the entire hall was piled up with old wooden boxes, and many of the outer edges of the boxes were rotten. Hua Shengshi was picking up a group of gray-haired elders. He heard four in just five or six seconds. Personally wailing, it is a pity that the antiques are not well preserved. "Old Hua, gentlemen, good afternoon!" To this group of people, Xia Yu had a very good attitude, and said with a smile after stepping into the door. "Mr. Xia, hello!" ... After some greetings, Xia Yu let these old men busy first, and found Hua Shengshi alone to understand the relevant situation. "Old Hua, what''s the situation now?" "Mr. Xia, because I was in a hurry, I didn¡¯t even open the box and ordered the box to buy. Therefore, no protective measures were taken to protect the antiques. These antiques are accumulated in the treasure house of the Eskenazi family. There are some antiques. Because something went wrong in the transportation, preservation, etc., serious damage was caused." "Now that all the antiques are shipped back, we are re-unpacking them and sorting them, and taking preliminary protective measures. After finishing the sorting, it is best to airlift them back to Xiangjiang." Hua Shengshi said with a distressed expression that for him, who would take back the Chinese cultural relics as a lifelong wish, he was distressed to die when he saw pieces of high-value Chinese cultural relics being damaged. But it''s been a long time since things happened. It''s useless to accuse the Eskenazi family and the robbers. They can only do their best to protect them. A pity flashed in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes, and he comforted Hua Shengshi: ¡°Old Hua, this is no way. Think about it. Although part of it was damaged, most of it was taken back from the British. A great happy event!" "Yes, it''s definitely a great happy event..." Hua Shengshi muttered to himself. After sighing, Hua Shengshi cleared up his mood and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, some of them have been sorted out and stored. Would you like to go over and take a look?" "Let''s go!" Xia Yu said immediately, and then Hua Shengshi led the way towards a room inside. "squeak¡­¡­" After opening the door, Xia Yu saw neatly arranged boxes one after another. The boxes were already covered. From the outside, he didn''t know what was inside. Seeing Hua Shengshi walking over to open the lid of a box, Xia Yu directly stopped him and ordered Li Wuming to do it. Soon, the lids of boxes all over the floor were opened. The boxes are all bronze! Dun, º…, bronze knives, bells, etc. are all small and medium bronzes, and heavy bronzes like tripods have not been seen. Xia Yu walked inside again, looking at the box beside him from time to time. When he reached the innermost point, his pupils shrank sharply, his eyes fixedly looking at the bronzes in the three large boxes in front of him. It turned out to be the head of the Old Summer Palace! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, there are seven! It accounts for more than half of the twelve beast heads in Yuanmingyuan! Xia Yu crouched down and observed carefully. Seeing Xia Yu''s movements, Hua Shengshi thought Xia Yu was interested, so he introduced: "Mr. Xia, these seven bronze wares are seven of the twelve animal heads in Yuanmingyuan. It is estimated that they were designed by the Italian court painter Castiglione and the French. The Eskenazi family thinks it has a good value specially singled it out." Xia Yu nodded slightly without answering, continuing to observe. Cow head, monkey head, tiger head, rabbit head, rat head, chicken head and dragon head! Among them, the previous lives of the cow head, monkey head, tiger head, rabbit head, and rat head are already real. The whereabouts of the chicken head has been unknown. As for the dragon head, it is suspected to have appeared in a small auction in Paris, France in 2018. It was bought by a Chinese buyer in Taiwan Province. Whether it is true or not is uncertain, because there has been no news since then. These are indeed in the hands of the Eskenazi family! Looking at these beast heads, Xia Yu''s eyes were full of emotion. Every beast head in the previous life will cause a huge sensation, and even just a few news can make headlines. Western capitalists manipulate public opinion, use the national self-confidence and emotions of the Chinese people to make money, and lie on the Chinese people to **** blood. Xia Yu couldn''t help gritting his teeth after seeing the news on the Internet in his previous life. Unexpectedly, in this life, these beast heads that affected the emotions of the people of the country would come to him so easily, and there were seven at once! "Fortunately, when these beastheads are in my hands, they will no longer be a tool to grab the interests of the people and hurt the feelings of the people." Xia Yu thought to himself that at this moment he had decided that other antiques might be sold, but these beast heads would definitely not be sold! And I have to do my best to collect the other five beast heads! As for the result, I can only say that I will do everything in my life! Xia Yu shook his head slightly, got up and said to Hua Shengshi: "Old Hua, I like these beast heads very much. You must keep them well. I will also inquire about it later and try to buy the remaining five beast heads." Hua Shengshi was taken aback and said with a big smile: "Good Mr. Xia!"

Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 680: accident Seeing these seven Yuanmingyuan beast heads, Xia Yu already felt that his trip was worthwhile. After seeing the other selected antiques under the guidance of Huashengshi, Xia Yu was very satisfied and reaffirmed his wise feat. Before leaving, Xia Yu specially urged Huasheng Shi to pay attention to the body, not to devote himself to the work of antique classification and protection, and to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. The meticulous and sensational care made the eyes of the everlasting Huashengshi moist. After that, Xia Yu returned to his residence with full of joy. With the antiques in hand, the original purpose of coming to the UK has been achieved, and it has been over-fulfilled. Not to mention the acquisition of large quantities of antiques, and Sotheby''s auction house also acquired it, which greatly broadened his business breadth and influence. Thinking of a lot of things in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu didn''t plan to stay too much in Britain. Three days later, the blue sky was washed away, and it seemed like a good day to travel. At London Heathrow International Airport, a group of black Rolls-Royce cars drove to the square, Xia Yu and his party got out of the car. In addition to Xia Yu, Li Qian, Li Wuming and some logistics support personnel, George Berkeley, Elena and Wu Hongyi also came to see Xia Yu and others off. "Well, don''t give it away, everyone!" Walking in for a while, Xia Yu said to George Berkeley and others when he entered the hall. "George, remember what I told you, if there is progress, call me." Xia Yu first said to George Berkeley. Wu Hongyi didn''t understand the meaning of Xia Yu''s words, but George Berkeley knew it naturally. He nodded solemnly and replied, "Okay, boss!" In fact, what Xia Yu told him was about the equity of BP. Entering September, the privatization of British Petroleum Corporation is about to begin, and the preparations of the Conservative government are coming to an end. Now the Bright Fund has established an investment company in cooperation with the Howard family, which will be used to bid for shares in British Petroleum. After the equity is acquired, it is necessary to divide the fruits of victory. Xia Yu has already agreed with Duke Howard, and George Berkeley will take over. After giving orders to George Berkeley, Xia Yu looked at Wu Hongyi. The latter did not say much, but gave Xia Yu a hug, patted Xia Yu''s arm, and said in a deep voice, "Xia Yu, take care!" "I will!" "When are you free, come to Xiangjiang to play!" Xia Yu smiled and said to Wu Hongyi. Wu Hongyi smiled and nodded. Finally, Xia Yu looked at Elena, who had been silent. Today''s Elena does not wear work clothes, but wears a long skirt, the kind of pleated princess dress of the British aristocracy, which is very noble and elegant, but exudes a pure and pleasant atmosphere. Only when Xia Yu''s eyes touched Elena''s eyes, Xia Yu clearly observed the dissatisfaction and hidden loss between Elena''s eyebrows. Xia Yu felt melancholy, but he didn''t show it. "Xia Yu, when you go back this time, when will you come to Xiangjiang next time?" Elena asked crisply, her eyes flickering at Xia Yu. Xia Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said apologetically: "I''m not sure about this, so I can only watch it later." "Ok!" Elena replied, feeling of loss rising in her heart. Seems to be aware of Elena¡¯s disappointment, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Elena, you said you have never been to the UK before, and when the company has nothing to do, you can also come to Xiangjiang to play. It should be able to give you something. Different from the British feeling." "Yeah, Elena, if you come to Xiangjiang, I will take you to go shopping, Xiangjiang still has a lot of fun places." Li Qian also said with a smile, and sent an invitation to Elena. Elena was taken aback for a moment, and then she was moved. She hesitated for a moment and said to Xia Yu and Li Qian: "Okay, when I''m free, I will definitely go to Xiangjiang to have a look. I will go ahead. Call you." "Yes!" ... After some greetings, Xia Yu and others finally had to go to check the tickets, because if they didn''t go, the plane would take off. "Goodbye! Be safe on the way back!" "Goodbye, good luck!" Xia Yu waved his hand to bid farewell to Elena and others, and then the group walked to the ticket gate. When he was about to enter, Xia Yu looked back and just saw Qi Linna look quietly, facing her. This time it was clearly felt. But now that he had to leave, Xia Yu waved to Elena, and finally disappeared from her sight. Xia Yu and the others bought first-class cabin, but he did not pack the entire first-class cabin. After taking off, Xia Yu suddenly saw Li Qian sitting next to him frowning, his thoughts didn''t know where he flew, obviously something was on his mind. Xia Yu held her jade hand to make Li Qian come back to her senses, and he asked softly: "Cici, what''s the matter with you?" Li Qian showed a beautiful smile and shook her head slightly and said, "Nothing." "How come it''s nothing, you were clearly on your mind just now." Xia Yu broke Li Qian''s clumsy lies, making her smile a little stiff. Xia Yu fixedly looked at Li Qian, as if she could see her inside, Li Qian finally put her smile away, she pursed her mouth, bowed her head slightly, and apparently finally admitted that she was on her mind. Holding Li Qian gently, Xia Yu said softly: "Xi Qian, just tell me if you have anything, you know?" Li Qian looked up at Xia Yu, pursing her mouth and said, "A Yu, I feel that I am very useless. I could help you a little bit before. Since you set up the chairman''s office, I have not been able to help much. Nothing to do all day." Seeing that Li Qian''s eyes were stubborn, she was stunned. Xia Yu was taken aback, stroked her pretty face, and comforted her softly: "No, what do you think, you clearly give me A lot of help is by my side when I need company most." This time, Xia Yu''s rhetoric was obviously not enough to persuade some **** Li Qian. She bit her Zhu lip and said entangledly: "But Elena has helped you so much, and I have been by your side, but I will only rub your shoulders and bubble tea." "Elena is Elena. He is an employee of our company and he should help me with the work." Xia Yu said with a smile, but Li Qian''s sudden words made Xia Yu''s smile stagnate. "But Elena likes you too!" The atmosphere froze instantly. Seeing Xia Yu''s smile receding, Li Qian pouted her mouth, as if she realized that she had made a mistake. "Sorry, Ayu, I..." Li Qian was panicked and quickly apologized. Xia Yu interrupted her and said, "Cici, it''s me who should say sorry." Xia Yu''s words stimulated Li Qian I saw that she mustered up the courage to look at Xia Yu and denied: "No, you are not wrong!" "You are so good. It is the right of others to like you. I just think I am useless." There is another sentence that Li Qian did not say, that is, she is just an ordinary girl, Xia Yu shines like a star in the sky, and she can be with Xia Yu to be satisfied, where can she dare to interfere in Xia Yu''s affairs? Looking at Li Qian steadily, Xia Yu, who stared at her, found that her gaze didn''t dodge at all. Obviously, her words came from the heart. Xia Yu hugged him tightly in his arms and said softly, "Cici, I know." "Ok!" Li Qian murmured softly, lying quietly in Xia Yu''s arms, listening to the vigorous heartbeat. She felt relieved, because she knew Xia Yu, and she knew Xia Yu had listened to her. As for how to arrange, she didn''t ask, she believed Xia Yu would handle it. She suddenly looked forward to life after returning... Caressing Li Qian''s hair, Xia Yu looked up at the top in a dream. After thinking for a long time, he looked back, but lowered his head to find that Li Qian had fallen asleep without his knowing it. A look of affection appeared in Xia Yu''s eyes, let Li Qian fall asleep in his arms, just bear it if she feels uncomfortable, so as not to wake her up. Having nothing to do, Xia Yu glanced around subconsciously. Just to see the seat two meters to the left, a white man holding a magazine also looked at him. The white man smiled slightly, and Xia Yu nodded with a smile. It''s just that Xia Yugang wanted to take back his gaze, but subconsciously stopped, and then took a closer look at the white man, Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with surprise. It turned out to be him! What a coincidence! (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 681: New strategy Reidario! The founder of the American Bridgewater Fund, his posterity is worth more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and he has more than 50 billionaires in the world. It''s just that he is just at the beginning of his fortune! Xia Yu remembers that he is of Italian American origin, and his daily activities are in Manhattan, New York. It can be said that he went to the UK to work, but what is the purpose of taking this flight to Xiangjiang? Xia Yu recalled the memory of him in his mind, and several guesses emerged in his mind. Seeing Reidario withdraw his gaze and continue to look at the magazine in his hand, Xia Yu also took out a magazine and flipped it with one hand. It''s just that Xia Yu has made up his mind in his heart. After getting off the plane, look for a chance to meet him and see if he can find a chance. It''s rare to meet the elites of such an era. It would be a pity if they didn''t dig out something. After reading the magazine for a long time, Xia Yu''s eyes were a little dry, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep without realizing it. When I opened my eyes, the plane had arrived at Xiangjiang, and the staff informed Xia Yu and others to disembark. Xia Yu wanted to find a chance to get to know Reidario, but he never thought that he would walk alone, walking in a hurry. Before Xia Yu could call him, he disappeared at the corner. Xia Yu could only give up and chose to go back and put his luggage first. On the way back, Xia Yu saw some obvious billboards through the window, which stated that Global Television reported the participation method and rewards of "Super Girl" audition. It seems that Universal Television has already started the pre-publicity work of the "Super Girl" audition. How is the specific progress? I have to go back and ask Huang Xizhao to know. On the day I just came back, I was destined to be unable to busy with work. Most of the time was spent at home. He introduced the gifts he brought back to his parents and others, and told them about his experience in the UK. It was rare for Xia Yu to get together with his family in peace. The next day, Xia Yu took the lead to go to Universal Television. When I arrived at the headquarters of the TV station, I just saw Huang Xizhao arranging work related to "Super Girl" and the arrangement was about to be completed. Seeing Xia Yu coming in, Huang Xizhao ended the conversation decisively, welcoming Xia Yu in with a smile: "Chairman, you are back!" "Hello, Chairman!" The other three subordinates also greeted respectfully. "Hello!" Xia Yu responded kindly. After they left, Xia Yu sat on the sofa and asked: "Xizhao, how is the audit work progress during my absence in Xiangjiang?" Huang Xizhao truthfully answered the introduction: ¡°Chairman, because American International Satellite Corporation will launch a communications satellite on September 10, we started a concentrated explosive propaganda on September 1. God." "It''s still in the registration period before the formal audition. I went to several audition registration locations to check the situation. The scene was quite popular. Now all the registration points have reported statistical data to the company. I have received more than 60,000 registration forms. Now the company has organized personnel to conduct a preliminary screening of the submitted application forms, and eliminate those who do not meet the requirements." "According to the preliminary plan, the formal audition will be held on September 15." There were more than 60,000 registration forms in six days. Even if this scope covers Southeast Asia, an average of 10,000 registration forms per day seems scary. The registration time is eight or nine days, which means that the registration form can definitely exceed more than 100,000 copies. "The publicity work is done well!" Xia Yu praised and affirmed Huang Xizhao''s work. Then I saw him shrinking his smile, and his face solemnly told Huang Xizhao. "However, there are too many people who signed up, so you should strengthen management, ensure fairness as much as possible, and avoid negative news!" "The registration review department must not make any mistakes. Once it finds someone who uses power for personal gain and loses the company''s interests, it will immediately report to me." Huang Xizhao''s heart shuddered, and immediately said solemnly: "Chairman, I remember it!" In his mind, he has decided to make more time to visit some audition sites unannounced to ensure that the audition work is fair and just. The audition is the foundation of "Super Girl". The better the audition is, the later process can attract more attention, and the reputation of Global TV will be positive. If out of the basket, in case it affects the TV strategy, he can''t afford this responsibility. After explaining some things to Huang Xizhao, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Building and inspected Jiuding Newspaper Company when he went upstairs. After inspection, Xia Yu was very satisfied. Today''s Jiuding Newspaper Company is developing very healthy under Yan Wenhan''s management. Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. has established a solid foundation in the magazine field. Since "Fashion Yiren" and "Mr. Fashion" magazines, the company has been very comfortable with the establishment and operation of magazines. In particular, Xia Yu had pointed out Yan Wenhan before to avoid wasting time by taking detours. The company is well-funded and has established multiple teams at the same time to develop new magazines at the same time. Five or six months is long enough for these magazines to go from project establishment to sale. So far, "Entertainment Weekly", "Bazaar Fashion", "Men''s Wear", "Car Magazine", "Fashion Health-Men''s Edition", "Fashion Health-Women''s Edition", "Fashion Travel" and " Soulmate Magazine. As a result, the number of newspapers and magazines under the Jiuding News Company has exceeded ten, which is a far leading trend in the newspaper field, and it is an absolute monopoly in the magazine field. In addition to Jiuding magazines, Xiangjiang also has a certain reputation, which is "Dragon Tiger Leopard". And even "Dragon Tiger Leopard" was made by Xia Lei... Considering that Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. has strong funds and the dishes that should be opened are temporarily finished, if it is just normal operation, the growth rate will inevitably decrease. It''s time to find another direction for rapid growth and let Yan Wenhan fight. Thinking of this, after Xia Yuzha inspected, he called Yan Wenhan in front of him. "Wenhan, the company is in a very good situation now. What are your thoughts on the next development plan?" Xia Yu smiled and looked at Yan Wenhan expectantly. Yan Wenhan has been in charge of the company for so long, and his temperament has gradually developed. Now facing Xia Yu''s inquiry, he has become more calm and confident. He thought for a while and replied: "Chairman, now in the field of Asian paper media other than the island countries, Jiuding Newspaper Company can be said to be the leader. Although many magazines are newly opened, there is still a lot of room for excavation, but at the current speed, I estimate that the growth will last for at most two years. Two years will definitely be enough to open up the market to more than 80%." "So two months ago, I was thinking about the company''s direction." "In the field of global paper media, the development of Asia appears to be lagging behind. Europe and the United States are the core markets. If Jiuding Newspaper wants to become a global paper media company, it must break into the European and American markets." "You have already acquired two major newspapers in the UK, so I plan to avoid the UK temporarily and invest my limited funds elsewhere." "You mentioned News Corporation to me before. I specifically went to understand the history of Murdoch''s rise, and I was inspired a lot." "At present, my preliminary idea is to choose one of the three directions of the United States, Europe, and island countries. I am still considering which one will be specific." "Papa..." Xia Yu was very satisfied with Yan Wenhan''s answer and couldn''t help applauding. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 682: Catch up with News Corp "You can think of so much on your own, which is great!" Xia Yu praised Yan Wenhan. "European and American countries, especially the United States, is the world''s largest media market. Asia is the basic market of Jiuding Newspaper. It determines the company''s lower limit. Only when entering the European and American markets will the upper limit of growth be opened." "As for the island country market, you can put it aside first. Now is not the best time. I have made arrangements. You can focus on the European and American markets." "And there is no need to choose one to enter, you can set foot in at the same time!" Yan Wenhan was taken aback, and then overjoyed. The boss said that he would definitely give him financial support. In fact, in order for Jiuding Newspaper Company to develop better, it is most beneficial to invest a large amount of money and develop in large strides. Xia Yu is very clear that now is the lowest period of the European media industry. When the European economy began to recover as soon as the 1980s entered, the influence of the media field began to explode. At that time, it was several times more difficult to acquire media companies. And now Rupert Murdoch has completed most of the foundation construction, whether it is Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and other places, they have acquired influential newspapers. Now International News Corporation has gained fame, but fortunately, it has not yet fully formed and reached the top of the world. But as soon as the 1980s enters, the International News Corporation will usher in a big explosion. With the foundation, Rupert Murdoch will develop by leaps and bounds, buying newspapers and magazines everywhere, and completely completing the layout of the paper media field. Then he set foot in the television field in 1985. In order to achieve this goal, he even gave up Australian citizenship and became American citizenship, removing the last obstacle. After 1985, the International News Corporation will be out of control. Although Jiuding News Corporation can be said to be the leading media company in Asia, it still has a big gap in comparison with the International News Corporation in the world. There are not a few high-quality newspapers and magazines in the world, but a large part of them are controlled by large consortia and cannot be acquired. Very few can be acquired. Now that these high-quality paper media have not been acquired by the International News Corporation, it is an opportunity for Jiuding News Corporation. Therefore, Jiuding News Corporation must race against time to complete the global layout before the International News Corporation. Today, Rupert Murdoch¡¯s International News Corporation¡¯s annual turnover is about to reach 1 billion Australian dollars. With the current strength of Jiuding Newspaper, if it is not supported by Xia Yu, it will not be able to catch up with the normal development process alone. On them. Now it is necessary to burn funds and catch up with the rocket. "Then Chairman, I will start to screen targets and make a plan later." Yan Wenhan said immediately. What surprised Yan Wenhan was that after he finished speaking, he saw Xia Yu shook his head with a smile. When he was puzzled, Xia Yu said: "This time you should not act alone." "If you act with Gavin, you should know that many European and American newspapers are publishing companies. You focus on the United States. It is very difficult to acquire national newspapers. You can start from the top ten cities in the United States and acquire those The top three newspapers with urban influence are best to be acquired behind the scenes. For the time being, don¡¯t expose the relationship between the shell company and Jiuding News. Wait until the time is right.¡± "On the European side, I will let Gavin do it. You ventilate with him. After the acquisition, it will be divided and handed over to you." "Gavin is in the island country now. After he comes back, you two will come to my office together, and I will give you some advice." Yan Wenhan nodded happily and replied: "Okay, Chairman, then I will first let the staff of the news agency collect business intelligence on the American media industry." "Hmm! Go!" After dismissing Yan Wenhan, Xia Yu inspected several other companies in the same building, and it passed in the morning. After the lunch break in the afternoon, Xia Yu called Song Hai, the general manager of Jiuding Electric, and went to Tiangong Group to check the production of satellite signal receivers on site. "Chairman, please follow me. The satellite signal receiver production line is in the No. 2 plant in Zone C." Colin Hester, general manager of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company, led Xia Yu and said as he walked. Xia Yu nodded slightly, quietly surveying the surrounding factories. After a while, the group arrived at the No. 2 plant in Area C, and they happened to see a large truck with the name "Tiangong Electric" printed on its body loading goods. Colin Heist immediately introduced Xia Yu: "Chairman, the satellite signal receiver is now installed in the car. It is an order from the brother company Jiuding Electric." Xia Yu looked at Song Hai, and Song Hai immediately nodded and said: "Chairman, this batch of goods totals 5,000 units, which will be airlifted to Singapore, and then dispersed from Singapore to Malaysia." Xia Yu gave a soft hum, and then let Colin Hester continue to lead the way and walked into the factory. As soon as I entered, I saw a busy scene. There were many workers on the assembly lines, responsible for the assembly and packing of parts. Some workers saw Xia Yu and others coming in, immediately cheered up and worked harder. "Chairman, shall we start from here?" Colin Hester pointed in a direction and asked Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded slightly: "You can arrange it." Colin Hester smiled and led Xia Yu to go to the left. At this time, the person in charge of the factory also approached and learned that his name was Liu Feng. Being able to behave in front of chairman Xia Yu made Liu Feng''s heart swaying, and explained to Xia Yu like a chicken. "Chairman, the production line of satellite signal receivers is semi-automatic. The entire manufacturing process includes...now here is the production line of the most complicated satellite receiver..." Liu Feng expertly explained to Xia Yu and the others that time passed unconsciously, and he kept seeing the penultimate process-OEM. It was posted on the nameplate of Tiangong Electric, and there was also a logo printed on the satellite receiver¡ªa domineering hammer with a wheel of gears on the outside. This logo was designed by Xia Yu. The hammer combines the characteristics of the Clear Sky Hammer and Thor''s Hammer, with sharp edges and corners. The angle of the hammer is 45 degrees, which makes people look more comfortable. There was no way, the concept of "Heavenly Work" was too conceptual. At that time, people designed dozens of trademarks, none of which satisfied Xia Yu, and he had no choice but to do it himself. After reading it, Xia Yu asked: "How big is the output now?" Liu Feng immediately replied: "Chairman, now in order to catch up with production, they are all working in three shifts, and an average of 3,000 sets of finished products can be produced within 24 hours." Colin Heist immediately added: "Chairman, three more production lines will be available in three days, and the output will be doubled by then." "Ninety thousand sets, 180 thousand sets... well, the output is not bad." As he said, Xia Yu looked at Song Hai again and said with a smile: "Song Hai, you have to underwrite such a large output. Is there a lot of pressure?" Song Hai didn''t open Haikou, he smiled bitterly and said honestly: "There is a lot of pressure. Now there are 27 stores in Southeast Asia that have opened and are about to open, and only about 100 sets have been sold so far." Speaking of which, Song Hai only knew the distress and pressure in his heart. Xia Yu smiled: "You have to come on! You are not responsible for the big publicity, but you must post product posters and posters of "Super Girl" at the door of every household appliance supermarket. After the audition officially begins, sales will be sold. When it broke out." "What you ordered!" Song Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly. "Colin, you don''t have to worry about sales, and do your best to produce with quality and quantity. The satellite signal receiver produced is stored in the warehouse Xia Yu again told Colin Heist, Dispel his worries. Colin Hester hurriedly agreed. As for the satellite signal receiver, Xia Yu is not worried about not selling it. What he makes is not the money from selling the satellite signal receiver, but the annual fee and the advertising income after the influence of the TV station has expanded. Those are the big money. If you really find that you can¡¯t sell it by then, there are ways to promote it, such as buying a washing machine, TV, and satellite signal receivers. In any case, the expansion of satellite TV users is the most important thing, even "Super Girl" has this mission. Those who open up the market are destined to spend relatively high costs! Later, Xia Yu went to see the production and processing plants in other districts and saw the production process of TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and other electrical appliances. Before leaving, Xia Yu called Colin Heist before him, and urged earnestly: "Colin, the matter of independent electrical appliance brands must speed up the progress, basic patents must be resolved, and the money that should be spent must be spent to avoid There may be commercial disputes in the future, and we will also recruit talents to set up R&D laboratories and develop our own patented technologies." Colin Hester nodded heavily: "Chairman, I remember." Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Song Hai, and said to him: "Song Hai, your terminal will have to cooperate with the sales of our own brand electrical appliances at that time, and you will communicate with Colin on how to do it." Song Hai immediately promised: "Okay!" After inspecting the production of Tiangong Electrical Appliances, Xia Yu was finally able to rest assured that everything awaits the launch of the satellite and the audition of "Super Girl" begins.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 683: Bank promotion On September 10, American International Satellite Corporation successfully launched a communications satellite named ¡®Global One¡¯. After the news reached Global Television, the entire television station became a sea of ??joy. From this moment, Universal Television opened a new chapter in history. After Uncle Shao Liu, who had been following closely, got the news, he sat in the office all morning. Needless to say, the major media immediately reported the news to the press. I believe that tonight and a few days after tomorrow, the headlines will be dominated by the news on Global TV. Think about it, satellite is a top-notch high-tech product, and no company in Hong Kong can afford it now. Now Global Television has taken the lead, and the grade has been raised instantly. It is conceivable that from now on, when people mention Hong Kong¡¯s TV station, they will subconsciously divide it into two grades, and the scenery is destined to belong only to Universal TV. Not much gossip. Just after the satellite entered the predetermined geosynchronous orbit, the engineers sent by American International Satellite Corporation helped Global Television receive the signal and taught the designated employees the relevant knowledge and skills. The three major departments, namely the International English Channel, International Chinese Channel, and Entertainment Channel, which have been prepared for a long time, began to operate at high speed. After the successful launch of the satellite, Huang Xizhao immediately reported to Xia Yu and received encouragement and praise from Xia Yu. After that, Xia Yu stopped taking care of the Global TV station and went straight to Jiuding Bank. As the financial core of the Jiuding Consortium, Jiuding Bank is the company that Xia Yu pays most attention to. Even Jiuding Securities cannot match it. Wearing sunglasses, Xia Yu walked into the headquarters of Jiuding Bank and found that the lobby on the first floor was very crowded, and the waiting area was almost full of people on the benches, apparently all for business. Seeing this grand occasion, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was slightly curved. Without stopping, he walked straight into the elevator and pressed the floor button to go up. After a while, the elevator stopped, and Xia Yu walked slowly along the corridor after he went out, looking at the offices with open doors on both sides from time to time, catching the work scene. The situation is good, the offices are busy, and no one is lazy. Xia Yu nodded secretly. When I came to the general manager''s office, the office door opened and Liu Tianci was immersed in the documents. Xia Yu knocked on the door and walked inside. Liu Tianci slowly raised his head. When he saw Xia Yu, he immediately smiled, got up and got down from the desk, greeted Xia Yu, and said, "Chairman, you are here!" "Well, godsend, are you tired from work?" Xia Yu was kind and asked with a smile. Liu Tianci smiled and shook his head and said: "Fortunately, the people below the tedious things will take care of it, so it is not too stressful to say it." Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder and told him to sit down and say, "That''s good, sit down and talk." "Have you read the economic data released by the Financial Secretary a few days ago?" Xia Yu asked. Liu Tianci nodded: "Look, the economy has picked up. Compared with the same period last year, all industries are showing a positive growth trend. Among them, the fastest growing is the real estate industry and the financial industry, with an increase of more than 15%." "In general, the Hong Kong economy grew by 8.1% in the first half of the year, 6.7% in the first quarter, and 9.8% in the second quarter, which is indeed a good sign." "Two months have passed since the third quarter. I have heard the news that the economy in the third quarter is better than the previous two quarters. The year-on-year (the ratio of this year to last year) growth is expected to exceed ten points!" Speaking of this, he showed a knowing smile and reported a result to Xia Yu: ¡°Chairman, thanks to the economic recovery of Xiangjiang, the market capital flow has become more active, and I have launched several wealth management products with Jiuding Securities. Now The bank¡¯s total assets have exceeded 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, reaching as much as 15.3 billion." "Good job!" Xia Yu said appreciatively. Suddenly, Liu Tianci thought of something and immediately said: "Chairman, there is one more thing to report to you. During your visit to the UK, our Jiuding Bank has entered the Hong Kong Foreign Exchange Bank Association and elected as one of the nine elected members. " This is good news. Although Jiuding Bank¡¯s entry into the Association of Banks has long been foreseen, the Association of Banks is elected once every three years, and time is short. Even if Jiuding Bank is strong enough, there is no way to drive down the current elected members. The Association of Banks was established in accordance with the "Hong Kong Association of Banks Ordinance". It is an organization linking the Hong Kong government and the banking sector and has a great influence. The committee of the Association of Banks has the most power and status, and is responsible for the association''s decision-making and management. The committee is composed of eleven members, namely two note-issuing banks and nine elected members. Needless to say, the two note-issuing banks are HSBC and Standard Chartered. Note-issuing banks are also permanent members of the Association. The nine elected members are elected every three years. Local banks and overseas banks occupy four and five seats respectively. Xia Yu remembers that the nine elected members of the last term were the local Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia, Heung Kong Bank of China, and Wing Lung Bank. And overseas Citibank, Mitsubishi Bank, Lloyds Bank, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank. The overseas banks come from the United States, island countries, Britain, France and Germany. Xia Yu asked Liu Tianci: "Who are the new elected members?" Liu Tianci smiled and said: "The changes have not changed much, but the five overseas companies are Citibank, Mitsubishi Bank, Lloyds Bank, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank." "The locals here are our bank, the Bank of East Asia, Heung Kong Bank of China and Hang Seng Bank." "Wing Lung Bank was squeezed down by us." "Wing Lung Bank plans to go public at the beginning of next year. Now that we are squeezed out, it will definitely be affected. Xia Yu smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Don''t worry about it, their strength was at the bottom of the four major banks in the previous session. They were selected in the previous session because of the support of Standard Chartered Bank~www.novelhall .com~ squeezed out Nanyang Commercial Bank, otherwise it would not be its turn." "Now there are four local banks. We are the first in strength and we don''t need to care about them." One more thing I didn''t say is that Xia Yu has decided to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. Wing Lung Bank is a system of Standard Chartered Bank. The market value of the listing must be as low as possible, so that the cost of his acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank is relatively lower. Among the four major local banks, Hang Seng Bank belongs to the HSBC faction. The Bank of East Asia, Heungjiang Bank of China, and his Jiuding Bank are independent Chinese banks. Standard Chartered Bank can be said to have lost a lot. However, after he acquired Standard Chartered Bank, if necessary, Wing Lung Bank can be promoted. Then, he will be able to surpass HSBC in the voice of the Association of Banks. But at that time, Wing Lung Bank must squeeze out the Bank of East Asia. This difficulty is not small. After all, the total assets of the Bank of East Asia at this time are about twice that of Wing Lung Bank. Furthermore, the Li family behind the Bank of East Asia is a behemoth, very powerful at the political and commercial level, and it is not so easy to handle. However, it is still far from that time. Standard Chartered Bank has not acquired it. It is useless to think so much. Now the more important thing is to seize the opportunity and use power to come up with something beneficial to Jiuding Bank. "God, pay more attention to the policy. Since you have this power, don''t waste it, make contributions, and you can''t get less benefits." Xia Yu exhorted. Liu Tianci smiled and nodded: "Chairman, don''t worry, I will take care of it." Xia Yu suddenly showed a relieved smile.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 684: Bridgewater Company "Chairman, go slowly!" After staying at Jiuding Bank for another half an hour, Liu Tianci sent Xia Yu out of the door. Xia Yu nodded slightly, just about to walk towards the car a few meters away, but from the corner of his eye he saw a person walking straight towards Jiuding Bank. Where does this person seem to have seen! Xia Yu''s eyes projected past, and he was taken aback. It turned out to be Rey Dario who met and missed on the plane! He was dressed in formal attire, carrying a black briefcase, and dressed as an official. Xia Yu had regretted not knowing Rey Dario before, but he did not expect to meet again so soon. And it seems to be coming to Jiuding Bank to do business? Xia Yu''s stupefaction was only a moment, but because the distance was too close, Rey Dario was already only two steps away from him. It''s just that Rey Dario seemed to be thinking about things, and did not observe Xia Yu on the right front. After thinking about it, Xia Yu didn''t call him aloud, and watched him enter Jiuding Bank. Liu Tianci has a keen mind, and has noticed the strangeness of Chairman Xia Yu, he casts his eyes on Xia Yu for instructions. Xia Yu walked up to Liu Tianci and said to him: "I''ll go up first. You see what he is here to do, find an opportunity to invite him up." "Ok!" Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Liu Tianci nodded in response. Then, Xia Yu returned to the office to wait. ... "Hello, I am the general manager of Qiaoshui Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., and this is my business card. I have something to talk to your general manager!" Rey Dario walked to the front desk, took out a business card and said to the beauty front desk. "Do you have an appointment?" The beauty at the front desk politely accepted the business card to confirm the information, and asked Rey Dario. Rey Dario smiled apologetically: "No, please convey it, please?" In fact, there was no Jiuding Bank in the initial plan of Rey Dario. He mainly came to Hong Kong to find HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank to promote the related business of Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. Unexpectedly, both HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank were not interested in the business of Bridgewater. He was not reconciled to visit Xiangjiang in vain, so he collected banking information, and Jiuding Bank came into his eyes naturally. After learning about the road to the rise of Jiuding Bank, Rey Dario had a hunch that this trip should be rewarding. After all, from the various signs, Jiuding Bank is the most aggressive of all the banks in Xiangjiang, and it has risen. The time is short and the means of sharing risks are of course less. It is certainly the easiest to accept the services of their company. Seeing Rey Dario''s polite smile, the beauty front desk felt respect, but she knew that the general manager was talking to the chairman, and she didn''t dare to knock on the door if she gave her some guts. Because of the large number of people, she did not see that Xia Yu and Liu Tianci had come down just now. She looked embarrassed and said, "This gentleman, I''m sorry, now..." Just as Rey Dario showed regret, a gentle and magnetic voice sounded: "This sir, may I ask if you have anything to do with me?" The beauty front desk followed the prestige and immediately shouted respectfully: "Hello, general manager!" Turn around! Rey Dario immediately filled with smiles, and once again took out an exquisite business card and handed it to Liu Tianci, and said enthusiastically: "Hello, I am Rey Dario, general manager of American Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. , I just came from HSBC, can I take you ten minutes to discuss business matters with you?" It is estimated that Liu Tianci has never heard of the name of Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. He also specifically mentioned HSBC to increase the weight. This was in the middle of Liu Tianci''s bosom. He smiled and accepted the business card and looked at it, and said with a please gesture: "My honor, please come to my office to talk!" "Thank you!" Seeing Liu Tianci and Rey Dario disappear in the elevator, the beauty receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with a look of gratitude. Rey Dario followed Liu Tianci to an office, but saw a young man sitting inside, who looked at him with a slight smile. When he felt a little familiar, Liu Tianci first said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, this is Rey Dario, general manager of American Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd." "Mr. Dario, this is the chairman of our bank, Mr. Xia Yuxia." After hearing Xia Yu¡¯s identity, Rey Dario¡¯s eyes lit up and he secretly said that he was lucky. He quickly greeted Xia Yu with a smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Xia, I¡¯m Rey Dario. It''s an honor to meet you!" Xia Yu shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Mr. Dario, we met a few days ago, but I didn''t expect to meet again now." Xia Yu mentioned that a flash of light flashed in Rey Dario''s mind, and his face appeared in a daze, and finally remembered. He was surprised by the unexpected, of course Xia Yu knew that he was mostly performing. "I remember!" "I''m really sorry, I just remembered it now, please accept my sincere apologies!" "Haha, it''s okay, please sit down!" After sitting down, Liu Tianci asked Rey Dario, "Tea or coffee?" Rey Dario glanced at the desktop quietly, and said with a smile: "Drink tea, thank you!" "Ok, no thanks!" Soon, a cup of tea was placed in front of the three of them. Rey Dario took a symbolic sip and put the cup down. Liu Tianci then asked, "Mr. Dario, I wonder what business you are here to discuss this time?" Rey Dario glanced at Xia Yu, neatly took out two of the exquisite printed brochures from the black briefcase, and gave Xia Yu and Liu Tian a copy. "This is the information of our Qiaoshui Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., you two can take a look first." Xia Yu accepted it and read it. Bridgewater Investment Company, established in 1975, is based in Manhattan, New York... The information in the booklet does not differ much from Xia Yu''s memory. At this time, Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. is not yet the world''s largest hedge fund. The company only engages in two businesses, one is to provide advisory services for institutional investors, and the other is to manage currency and interest rate risks at home and abroad. Xia Yu knew that the innovative investment strategy on which Bridgewater Fund became famous began in 1991. At that time, Bridgewater Fund completed the accumulation of reputation and strength and began to transform, developing various investment strategies and investment tools to carry out worldwide investment. Of course, the first investment was made in 1987, a fixed income investment of US$5 billion invested by the World Bank. Liu Tianci is an elite. After reading the information in the booklet, he also guessed the purpose of Rey Dario''s visit. Promote financial consulting services to Jiuding Bank to see if there are opportunities for cooperation now or in the future, such as merger and acquisition consulting, or when Jiuding Bank wants to enter the US market, you can ask them for information. Of course, in Liu Tianci''s view, the main purpose is to achieve another cooperation with Jiuding Bank. This involves the second business of Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., the management business of domestic and foreign currency and interest rate risks. Jiuding Bank is a commercial bank, and its basic functions are saving and lending. Many times it wants to invest and maintain value, it has to cooperate with financial institutions, joint investment or provide financial leverage, etc. These investments will increase the risk of Jiuding Bank, and changes in interest rates in assets and liabilities will cause changes in profitability, liquidity and safety. Generally, excellent banks with strong interest rate risk management capabilities will have more obvious relative competitive advantages and higher fund security. The profitability gap between banks with different risk control capabilities is also very large. Commercial banks usually incorporate capital utilization efficiency and delivery management into the standard system for measuring operating results. If Jiuding Bank wants to enhance its competitiveness in this area, Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. can provide services, such as providing targeted excellent solutions or suggesting investment directions. But when it comes to currencies and exchange rates, this requires service providers to have a sensitive sense of smell and powerful capabilities in financial markets. Sure enough, Rey Dario''s words verified his guess. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Liu, before I talk about things, I want to introduce myself." "I was born in an Italian family in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. I started trading in stocks when I was 12 years old. I invested in Northeast Airlines with the consumption I saved when I was a golf club caddie. I made three times the profit. I was 16 years old. Intervened in the bulk futures trading market, I have already had 200,000 U.S. dollars in capital. After that, I entered Long Island University and Harvard Business School ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I used the one million U.S. dollars I earned to establish Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. "The current situation of the company is written in the booklet." Telling one''s past is to prove one''s ability. This is Rey Dario''s tried and tested trick in the company''s weak hours. It can often leave a deep impression on the collaborators and promote cooperation. After all, in the field of financial investment consulting, ability is most important. In this industry, you don¡¯t need to hide your own ability, and show the name of genius generously to better attract partners. "Mr. Dario, I didn''t expect you to start trading stocks at the age of twelve. It''s incredible!" "You have a smart brain and an excellent sense of smell." Xia Yu showed a surprised expression at the right time. Rey Dario was not arrogant, and said thank you slightly modestly. Liu Tianci calmly looked at Rey Dario and asked sharply: "Mr. Dario, your past results are very impressive, but we haven¡¯t seen it with our own eyes, and the convincing power for us is not enough. I would like to ask. You, within Asia, which financial institutions do you have cooperation with?" Rey Dario''s face stiffened, and then he returned to nature. It''s just that this subtle expression change has been captured by Xia Yu and Liu Tianci. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he gave Liu Tianci a thumbs up in his heart. As expected, Liu Tianci understands his thoughts best! He didn''t say anything, but Liu Tianci had already roughly guessed what he was thinking, and he played a black face and suppressed Rey Dario''s heart. After doing this, and discussing anything later, the initiative will be more easily transferred to their side. PS: It is customary to ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 685: Cooperate in another way Faced with Liu Tianci''s question, Rey Dario was embarrassed. Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. has only been established for more than five years, and it is not a big deal on Wall Street where financial companies are everywhere. In particular, Bridgewater is only a financial service company, not a company that is at the forefront of banks, securities, and funds. In this case, it is even more difficult to make a name in the United States. Let alone put it worldwide? Liu Tianci has never heard of this company. If it were not for Xia Yu¡¯s strange attitude, Liu Tianci would not spend too much time talking with Rey Dario. After all, although Jiuding Bank has a short rise in time, the risk is not as big as Rey Dario imagined. It does not need the interest rate risk management business of Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. Having said that, the brochures produced by Rey Dario''s company are all marked out with the most eye-catching data. Those disadvantages are not mentioned, and there are certain misleading and exaggerated elements. This little trick is common to all companies in the business field. Xia Yu and Liu Tianci didn''t deliberately point it out, just know what they are. In fact, Rey Dario has not found a partner in Asia. He went to the UK before to explore the international market. In order to respond flexibly, he can only seize the opportunity if he is the most powerful founder. In the UK, he negotiated a single business, and then wanted to use the fulcrum of Xiangjiang to open business within Asia. After all, Hong Kong is now under British rule. With an order signed in London, it is easier to impress HSBC and Standard Chartered. It''s just a pity that it didn''t work. Therefore, in the face of Liu Tianci¡¯s problem, Rey Dario looked natural, and said: ¡°Our company¡¯s previous business focus has always been in the United States and Europe. The development of Asian financial markets is relatively lagging, so our company puts the Asian market open. Behind the scenes, this is my first visit to Xiangjiang." "Anything requires a process, maybe for Jiuding Bank, this is a good opportunity, isn''t it?" "Perhaps!" Liu Tianci said lightly. Then he looked at Xia Yu and said to Rey Dario, "Mr. Dario, I don¡¯t know how much you know about our bank? Why do you think we need management consulting services for interest rate risk?" Rey Dario realized that this might be the last chance. He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and solemnly said: "Because your company is the youngest, in just over a year, from Xiangjiang The small bank in China has grown into the third largest bank in the country in one fell swoop." "According to the company''s normal growth trajectory, a rapidly growing company will always have some problems. These loopholes are potential risks. If they are not resolved as soon as possible, the risks will become greater and greater. So my reason tells me that your company may need ." After speaking, Rey Dario looked at Liu Tianci closely, and raised a heart slightly. Liu Tianci nodded slightly: "Mr. Dario, your analysis is logically correct." This sentence made Rey Dario''s heart sink suddenly. It stands to reason? The underlying meaning is not right! Rey Dario''s brain runs at high speed, thinking about what information he has ignored. When he was troubled, he heard Liu Tianci continue to say: "But there are always special circumstances in everything, such as our bank." "Although our bank has grown rapidly, the risk sharing method is no less than that of Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. You may not have a deep understanding of our bank." "Many of HeungKong''s major companies have absolute strategic partnerships with our bank. The largest securities company and the largest insurance company are our brother companies. The investment risk is lower than you think." I have to say that Rey Dario didn''t know the information Liu Tianci said before. In a short period of time, he only collected some superficial information from Jiuding Bank. Now hearing what Liu Tianci said, Rey Dario understood, and the words "Consortium Core Bank" popped up in his mind. He couldn''t help showing a wry smile, and sighed that he was too reckless. Normal thinking had misled him and made him not take Jiuding Bank too seriously. If he spends a few days to prepare, he won''t be in this dilemma. Even he would never come to Jiuding Bank at all! Because he knows the difference between a bank supported by a consortium and a bank not supported by a consortium. In the United States, there are many large and small consortia, and almost every consortium has its own bank as a capital turnover platform. This kind of bank''s anti-risk ability is many times stronger than that of a single bank. He knows this very well. Although Qiaoshui Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. has a lot of talents, it still has some reluctance to provide consulting solutions for such banks. According to Liu Tianci, Jiuding Bank is the third largest bank in Hong Kong, and its sister companies are the largest securities company and the largest insurance company in Hong Kong. It can be the first in the field of insurance and securities, without questioning its investment ability. . It is conceivable that Jiuding Bank has a high fund safety factor and a high profit rate. The interest rate risk management business it can provide may not be as good as the investment development plan of the other consortium. Rey Dario sighed secretly, crossed the name of Jiuding Bank in his heart, then packed his briefcase and got up, ready to leave to find the next target. "I see, thank you for your reception!" Seeing Rey Dario was so shocked by him to leave, Liu Tianci didn''t know what to do, so he looked at Xia Yu subconsciously. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said to Rey Dario, "Mr. Dario, please wait a moment, can you talk?" Rey Dario was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Liu Tianci and then at Xia Yu. Considering Xia Yu''s identity as Chairman of the Board, there was another hope in his heart, and he immediately smiled: "Of course no problem! " After speaking, he sat down again. Just listen to Xia Yu''s words: "You are an investment genius, it just so happens that I am too." Liu Tianci immediately added: "Our chairman at Xiangjiang has a title that everyone recognizes, called''stock god''." Rey Dario''s eyes lit up and he looked at Xia Yu carefully. Not everyone can obtain the title of "Stock God". Every recognized "Stock God" is an elite in the investment field. "We were able to meet twice in just a few days. It must be fate. I think we can cooperate, but we may have to change it." "Please speak!" Rey Dario said immediately. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and then said: "Mr. Dario, before discussing cooperation, I would like to ask you a question. You have strong capabilities in both the stock market and the futures market. Why don''t you continue to set up an investment company in depth, instead? What about a consulting service company?" This question is right. Rey Dario fell into silence. He sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "It''s not a secret. In fact, I made the choice after careful consideration." "I used to be used to analyzing and investing alone by myself. I have a high degree of freedom. Although I bear the risk myself, I am very confident in my analysis. In the end, I succeeded." "When I got my master''s degree from Harvard, I was 25 years old. After that, in order to better exercise my abilities, I joined a company engaged in retail brokerage budgeting The company conflicted with my concept. , I have my own set of investment analysis methods. Unfortunately, the company does not agree with it. Many of my work has lost its meaning." "I felt that my ability was limited, so I resigned." "At that time, I had a million dollars in assets. There were two ways to stay in front of me. The first was to continue looking for the next job, and the second was to start a business." "But I only have one million US dollars in assets. I have not met many regular customers during one year of work. There are big loopholes in my network and it is difficult to get investment. If I set up an investment company, one million The dollar will not last long." "I lack capital and contacts. My reason tells me that the probability of success is very low. I don''t want to take such a big risk." "So I chose a more secure way to set up a financial investment consulting service company, which will help me integrate into the capital market faster and build a network faster." "Moreover, providing different investment solutions for different companies can exercise my abilities well. This is also an accumulation process." "When I think the time is right, Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. will enter the field of capital investment." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said concisely: "That is to say, you compromised because of reality. If you solve the capital constraints, you will return to the field of capital investment, does that mean?" Rey Dario was taken aback for a moment, then he nodded calmly and said, "I think so!" Hearing this, Xia Yu suddenly smiled. Yes! He has the meaning to continue talking! It seems that the idea in his mind may be realized! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 686: King of hedge funds "I wonder if you have thought about selling the company?" Xia Yu suddenly said a word that shocked Rey Dario. His eyes widened and he looked straight at Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and looked at him sincerely, showing that he was not joking. Rey Dario was not angry. When his mood gradually calmed down, he combined with the question Xia Yu asked just now and realized that Xia Yu must have nothing to say. He did not rush to express his position, but continued to ask Xia Yu to finish his sentence: "Mr. Xia, to be honest, what you said made me confused. I want to know what your acquisition plan is, and what are you going to do after the acquisition? " Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "You will still take care of the company, but I will buy 80% of the equity from you. After the acquisition, the company will open up hedge funds or investment businesses. The capital will be at least 100 million U.S. dollars." In order to increase the persuasive power, Xia Yu once again added: "You want to engage in investment but lack funds, and I happen to solve this problem for you. In addition to capital supervision, you are responsible for all company affairs. All you have to pay is Part of the company¡¯s equity." Facing the sweet bait that Xia Yu suddenly threw, Rey Dario fell silent. I have to say that he was moved. He has always longed for the field of capital investment, but had to postpone his plan due to practical constraints. The current business of Qiaoshui Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. is just a transitional business, which can accumulate contacts and influence for him, earn more funds by the way, and pave the way for future investment business. Five years ago, he used one million US dollars to establish Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. In five years, the company''s total value is about seven or eight million US dollars, and when it meets urgent buyers, the cap is only 10 million US dollars. If Xia Yu now says to buy his company for ten million dollars, he is absolutely willing to sell it, and then use the ten million dollars to set up a company in the field of investment. But the current situation is that Xia Yu does not intend to acquire wholly-owned, but to leave 20% of the equity, which is the shackles that bind him. With so little equity, with Rey Dario''s heart, he was emotionally unwilling. However, Xia Yu''s later talk about non-interference in operating rights and the promise of bringing in 100 million U.S. dollars in funding made him startled. He wanted to pull in 100 million U.S. dollars. He didn''t know that he had to wait for the year of the monkey. Now that there is something ready in front of him, he is really reluctant to slip away. Earlier to invest this billion US dollars, you may reap more benefits. Of course, this is only possible. After all, everything only exists in imagination! It seemed that he was aware that Rey Dario was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, Xia Yu raised his mouth slightly, and said again: "Mr. Dario, you can think about it, there will be people in the United States who are willing to hand over 100 million US dollars in funds. Do you manage it?" "Although you only have 20% of the equity, as long as you manage the fund yourself, you can draw a portion of the profit dividends, and then you can draw 20% of the dividends that belong to the company, and the profit will not be less than 100%. Of thirty." "The most important thing is that the risks you need to take are minimal. Most of the risks are borne by me and other investors!" "I think this condition, even if it is put on Wall Street, there will be many long-established financial elites willing to come!" Xia Yu''s words are straightforward, but very convincing. It directly broke the last straw in Rey Dario''s heart. The risk is small, the income is guaranteed, and he is also one of the bosses, and if the investment is good, the income will be higher. This condition is very favorable on Wall Street! Almost all top talents in the United States are squeezed into the financial field, so there are not a few well-known elites on Wall Street. As Xia Yu said, his condition can definitely attract a group of financial elites who are more famous than him. A rare opportunity, let''s do it! After the big deal, if you don¡¯t like it, you will sell your shares and start again. I believe that by then, you will have certain conditions! Although Rey Dario made a preliminary decision, he did not immediately agree. He solemnly said to Xia Yu, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of me. Your conditions are very attractive, but my brain is a bit confused now. Please allow me to think about it for two days." "Of course, no problem!" "If you think about it, come here to find me!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. "Thank you! I will definitely!" After speaking, Rey Dario found a reason to leave. After Rey Dario left, seeing Liu Tianci''s face hesitating, Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and said casually: "God, just ask if you want to ask, don''t hold back." Liu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked: "Chairman, you seem to value this Rey Dario?" Xia Yu nodded slightly: "He is an investment genius. I got to know him by chance and his experience is true." "In my opinion, his talent is considered top-notch on Wall Street. If it is put in Xiangjiang, there are very few that can match him!" "This kind of talent, since we have encountered it, of course we have to collect it to our side." Liu Tianci was surprised. He didn''t expect that the boss would have such a high evaluation of Rey Dario! Even he didn''t dare to claim that his talent was the top of Xiangjiang. However, Rey Dario is considered to have the top talent on Wall Street. Wall Street is the world''s financial center. Does it mean that Rey Dario''s talent is top in the world? This evaluation is not high! Anyway, he has been with chairman Xia Yu for so long, he has never heard such a high evaluation from Xia Yu, whether it is him, Wang Qi, or Jason Gregg! Liu Tianci''s surprise is normal, after all, Rey Dario is not an ordinary person. If the 1980s and 1990s were the age of Soros and Julian Robertson, then after entering the 21st century, the field of hedge funds is the age of Rey Dario. Rey Dario was named by the "Time" magazine as the world''s 100 most influential people in 2012, the "king of hedge funds" after Soros, and a Wall Street financial crocodile with a net worth of more than $10 billion. In 2011, the world''s hedge fund market had bleak returns. Even in this difficult environment, Bridgewater Fund still had a profit of $13.8 billion. Bridgewater Fund manages more than 160 billion U.S. dollars in initial capital. The amount of capital ranks first in the world, and investors are all from the World Bank, pension funds, welfare funds, sovereign funds and even central banks in some countries. . Rey Dario''s achievements are higher than Julian Robertson''s, and he was still calling for the wind and rain in the world until the future generations Xia Yu crossed. Now he is definitely a strong potential stock! "Godsend, calm your mind, you are on par with Rey Dario, and now your conditions are better than him, and it will be difficult for him to surpass you in the future!" After all, Liu Tianci was his old subordinate, and Xia Yu still had to take care of his emotions, so he explained with a smile. Anyway, Liu Tianci didn''t know the future generations of Rey Dario. He was motivated only if he was under pressure. Maybe he could still be a flogging to make Liu Tianci grow better. "Well! There are many better people in the world than me, and I will catch up with them step by step!" Liu Tianci said firmly with a face. ... Two days later. After Rey Dario learned about the strength of the Jiuding Consortium, he finally made up his mind. He is only a small role now, and a regional consortium can see him. Of course, he is willing to take refuge and grow with the resources of the Jiuding consortium. At this time, he couldn''t think of how high his future achievements would be. There is nothing wrong with making such a decision that is most beneficial to him. It is also the headquarters of Jiuding Bank. After the agreement was signed, the atmosphere on the scene changed instantly, and the original sense of alienation gradually disappeared. "Mr. Dario, we will be a family from now on!" Xia Yu shook hands with Rey Dario and said with a smile. Rey Dario quickly straightened his position and said enthusiastically: "Boss, you can call me Rey from now on. The name of Mr. is too strange." Xia Yu did not refuse, and said, "Okay, Rey!" "One hundred million US dollars of funds can be raised within three days. The most important thing at the moment is that you set up a fund as soon as possible. Once the fund team is formed, the money will pass!" "I will let someone go back with you to complete the next procedure!" Although the contract has been signed, the procedure has not been completed. And it is clearly stated in the contract that the transaction contract will only take effect after 100 million US dollars of funds are in place ~ www.novelhall.com~ otherwise it is an invalid contract. "BOSS, make arrangements, I can leave at any time!" Rey Dario said immediately. "Then tomorrow, I will find a good person today, and I will go home with you tomorrow!" As Xia Yu said this, he had decided to wait for a while to call Zhou Keji from the Standard Accounting Firm and Wei Lu from the Standard Law Firm so that they could pick out those who met the conditions and go with Rey Dario. new York. In the evening, Xia Yu specially called for Wang Qi, Jason Gregg, Liu Tianci and others to welcome Ray Dario to join him at the Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel. At the dinner table, Rey Dario also had a deep understanding of the strength of Xia Yu''s financial industry, and couldn''t help but be fortunate to have joined this big family. The next day, Xia Yu sent Rey Dario and the people dispatched by the two major offices onto the plane. Seeing the Boeing plane ascending into the sky at the airport, Xia Yu was a little emotional. What happened in the past two days is a bit magical, and it is so simple to give the future "king of hedge funds" to income. But Julian Robertson, the ¡°Godfather of Hedge Funds,¡± who has been talked about before, has yet to get it! Xia Yu suddenly expected Julian Robertson to set up a company soon, so that he could come to Xiangjiang to fulfill his promise as soon as possible. Xia Yu couldn''t help being excited when he thought that he had two financial giants that were comparable to Soros. With these two knives, besides the United States, which country''s financial market can withstand his tossing? Looking up at the scorching sun in the blue sky, Xia Yu smiled and muttered, "Today''s sunshine is very good!" Liu Tianci on the side was stunned for a while, and then he subconsciously looked in the direction of the airport, with a dignified look in his eyes. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 687: Game console listed On September 15th, in the much anticipated, Global Satellite TV "Super Girl" audition will be launched on this day! Early in the morning, Xia Yu drove from his home and passed by a sea pick point in Kowloon. The Haixuan point is not located in the most prosperous place, but is located next to the Wellcome Supermarket, which can be regarded as attracting traffic for brother companies. Among other things, the row of long-term contestants, and the relatives who accompanied them, have to buy something from the supermarket when they are hungry and thirsty. At the audition site, a huge propaganda poster was posted on the wall, which can be seen clearly even by passers-by 100 meters away. The long queue is almost composed of young and beautiful girls. It is definitely a dazzling scenery, attracting many passersby onlookers, and many reporters are constantly taking pictures for interviews. This kind of heat made Xia Yu very satisfied, who got off the car to observe. If there is such a heat in Southeast Asia, then there is no need to worry about the business of satellite signal receivers. The car drove all the way to the Kowloon Kwun Tong Industrial Park, where Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. is located. After Xia Yu got off the car, he saw Huo Jianning already waiting at the door. Xia Yu didn''t talk nonsense, and walked into the production area with Huo Jianning. The factory buildings designed by the company at the beginning were all two-storey, and there was no need to lay a deep foundation. After a few months, the first batch of factory buildings have been put into use after working day and night. After entering, Xia Yu saw parts passing on the assembly line, assembled by workers, and finally came out a brand new arcade machine. After the finished product comes out, there will be special staff to debug to ensure that the arcade is qualified. Walking with Huo Jianning, Xia Yu observed Huo Jianning for a while and asked Huo Jianning, "How is the order now?" Huo Jianning took out a booklet from the bag and handed it to Xia Yu, saying: "Chairman, this is the order data. Now the customer is mainly Mr. Xia Lei, who ordered 300 machines at once, and ordered each game. One batch, the total order amount is 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu nodded slightly, opened the booklet, and saw the specific data. Five arcade machines, "China Cube", "Super Mario", "Donkey Kong", "Pac-Man", and "Tank Battle", have orders, the most of which is "Super Mario", which directly ordered 100 units . There are also differences in prices for the five arcade games. For example, "China Cube" and "Tank Battle", which can be played longer, are cheaper. The ex-factory price of a machine is US$2,300 and the Hong Kong dollar is 10,600. And like "Super Mario", the most interesting arcade game machine, the price is the most expensive, the ex-factory price is two thousand five hundred US dollars, or about 11,500 Hong Kong dollars. For arcade machines like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, the ex-factory price is US$2,400, or approximately HK$110,000. The price before two thousand three to two thousand five hundred dollars is not expensive. The ex-factory price of "Space Invaders" from Taidong Island is also US$2,400, which is the same price as "Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man", and it has been sold for more than a year without a penny drop. "Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man" are the classic games of previous Nintendo and Nangong Dream, and the quality is not inferior to "Space Invaders". What''s more, "Space Invaders" has been on the market for more than a year, and many players have long been tired of playing it and lost their freshness. It is only because there is no comparable game on the market that it has always been in the limelight. I believe that when "Donkey Kong" and "Pac-Man" are released at this time, they will definitely be able to compete with "Space Invaders" in the market. Faced with an arcade machine with exactly the same price and quality, I believe customers will definitely know how to choose. Of course, how exactly is Xia Yu''s experience? "Go, go and try the machine!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he went straight to the debugging area and turned on an arcade machine nearby and found that it was a game of "Super Mario". He immediately picked up a game coin in the next box and stuffed it in, and waited until the game started. Up. "Flap!" "Boom!" The sound of rocker clashes and button sounds kept ringing, Xia Yu controlled Mario to keep beating, eating gold coins and mushrooms. Huo Jian watched quietly, while Li Qian watched Xia Yu playing games with interest. "Oh, be careful... I fell into the ditch..." Ten minutes later, Xia Yu finally couldn''t escape amidst Li Qian''s exclamation. The plumber in red and blue trousers fell into the ditch and lost his life. The game interface showed that the game currency started again. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, did not choose to continue to insert coins, and walked to a machine next to him. After opening it was "China Cube", he continued to play. Li Qian hasn''t played these arcade machines before, so she doesn''t know the situation, but Huo Jianning has experienced it and she knows the difficulty of "China Cube". But when he saw the chairman playing for the first time, he was very proficient. He reacted quickly to change the direction and position, and eliminated the overlapping squares line by line. After ten minutes, he still did not exceed the height of a book. Huo Jianning''s eyes are full of admiration, and the chairman is indeed the chairman! He could only persist for five minutes after playing it many times, but the chairman Xia Yu actually persisted for so long the first time he played. Seeing that Li Qian was watching with gusto, Xia Yu raised his mouth slightly, moved his **** to the side, and said to Li Qian, "Cici, sit up and play with you!" "Okay, okay!" Li Qian cheered. She had watched it for so long and wanted to give it a try. After she sat on the stool, Xia Yu immediately grabbed her hand and put it on the rocker and the red button, and then let go. It seemed easy to do, Li Qian was a little messy, the originally good situation was suddenly messed up, and the height immediately exceeded half. In this case, Li Qian was even more nervous, shaking the joystick left and right back and forth, her little face full of tension. Li Qian''s appearance is very cute when he concentrates on playing games, and Xia Yu can''t help showing a knowing smile. Ten seconds later, in Li Qian''s wailing, the graphics reached the top and the game was over. "How could it be that I died so soon!" Xia Yu laughed and said, "Cici, you are not familiar with it just now, do you want another round?" "Hmm, I don''t believe it anymore, hum!" Li Qian blushed, she immediately nodded her head and said. Xia Yu laughed, and gave her a game currency again, the game restarted, and Li Qian played seriously again. In about two minutes, the game is over again! "Oh, so angry, dead again!" Li Qian muttered, her little face full of depression. Seeing that Li Qian was over in more than a minute, Huo Jianning was relieved, this is normal operation! If anyone is as good as Chairman Xia Yu and plays for dozens of minutes with a life, what money does the game hall owner make? The "China Cube" arcade machine produced by Tiangong Electronics will definitely fill the warehouse with returns. "Cici, do you want to try other games?" Xia Yu asked gently. Li Qian''s eyes were shining brightly, she looked at the arcade machine of "Super Mario" Xia Yu just played, and said cheerfully: "I want to play this." "no problem!" After turning on a machine, Li Qian played again with relish. While Li Qian was engaged in playing, Xia Yu said to Huo Jianning: "Jianning, the difficulty of these two games is not bad now, but when selling out, we must teach customers how to adjust the difficulty. Over time, players will be familiar with it. It will have an impact on the revenue of the game hall, and increasing the difficulty is the only way out." Huo Jianning nodded: "Okay, Chairman! I will let someone teach you!" "The product has been produced, how do you plan to market it?" Xia Yu asked. "Chairman, the company has made a plan to start from two aspects. The first is to put a batch of machines in the downtown area to let citizens play for a few days for free. If someone sees a business opportunity, they will come to place an order." "The second aspect is to sell to the original game hall owner, one for each type of machine, and let them operate for three days for free. After seeing the effect, decide whether to place an order." Huo Jianning immediately replied. Xia Yu nodded slightly: "This is a normal routine, not bad!" "There are few game halls in Xiangjiang. Your first marketing method is more suitable for Xiangjiang, and the island market is suitable for both." "You can sell to brother companies, supermarkets and movie theaters can put some for customers to relax ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Harbour City shopping mall can also set a separate storefront set up a large game hall, you go to them, just say I said!" Zhou Cheng, Jiang Zhiqiang, Liu Shihao and others are not stupid people, and should be able to understand Xia Yu''s intentions. Using game consoles to attract traffic is definitely a good way. In particular, opening a large game hall in the Harbour City Mall is absolutely profitable and can also attract customers to the mall. Like the large shopping malls of later generations, game areas such as "Interstellar Legends" are almost indispensable. The speed of making money is simply not too fast. It is definitely a machine that burns players'' money. Players who play for a long time will definitely find it easier to eat, drink, and shop in the mall, which can drive the mall''s overall revenue. Huo Jianning made it through at one point, his expression was excited, and he immediately nodded and promised: "Okay!" "By the way, Chairman, it''s the American Electronic Technology Expo in half a month. I want to take these five arcade machines to the exhibition, and I have got the quota!" Xia Yu''s eyes are shining, and the US Electronic Technology Expo is very influential. Taidong''s "Space Invaders" was an instant hit there and opened the American market in an instant. The path of "Space Invaders" is also suitable for Sega and Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. When these five arcade machines are unveiled, they will definitely become the most beautiful cubs at the expo and cause a huge sensation. Xia Yu readily agreed: "Go, this is a good platform, and it will definitely be able to win big orders!" "In order to cope with the surge in orders, it is recommended that you increase your production capacity. If it is too late, you will fully invest in the production of motherboards. When the time comes, you will directly sell the motherboards and let some of the profits from the assembly go out." Affirmed by the chairman, Huo Jianning''s confidence doubled: "Okay!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 688: Monopoly is huge profits, 60 million in half a month Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Selected points of "Super Girl". A cry sounded, but no matter it was the queued contestants, the accompanying parents and the passers-by, it was no surprise. "It''s a pity, this girl doesn''t look bad, she didn''t even make it into the audition." Seeing the parents immediately comfort the girl who was crying after coming out, a passerby sighed. "What''s a pity, there were a few who were prettier than her before, but haven''t they all passed the audition? The voice is a gift from God. I can''t blame anyone for the lack of tone." The passer-by B beside him said coldly. After a while, a beautiful girl came out with a smile on her face, still holding a card in her hand. Seeing this scene, there was a commotion at the scene, and many people looked at her with envy. Because the girl got the promotion card and successfully advanced to the next level of competition. "Dad, mom, I made it!" The girl cheered into the arms of her parents and said with joy. "Haha, Azhu, Dad has said you will be successful!" The middle-aged bald man said loudly, enjoying the envious and jealous gaze from all directions, and felt that he had face. "Huh, look at him so terribly!" The person next to him said sourly. The middle-aged bald man didn''t care, and raised his eyebrows, as if he was awkward, which made the man''s face twisted. "Dad, mom, the examiner said that our audition will be edited and will be broadcast on the Global Satellite TV entertainment station, but it can be seen only by installing a satellite signal receiver. Is it good for us to install one?" The girl suddenly said to her parents, her face full of prayers. "Pretend, must pretend, my daughter finally got on TV, how can I miss it!" The middle-aged bald man said without hesitation. "Dad, I love you!" The girl cheered suddenly. After that, the family walked directly into the Jiuding Electric Supermarket next door. That''s right, the sea selection locations in Southeast Asia are all located next to the Jiuding Electric Supermarket in order to maximize the sales of satellite signal receivers. With so many people watching this morning, everyone knew what a satellite signal receiver was. Anyway, as long as those who passed the audition, they bought a set of satellite signal receivers and bought a one-year service of Global Satellite TV. In addition to the players who passed the audition, some people who failed also paid for it. After all, the satellite signal receiver is not expensive, a set of only 400 Hong Kong dollars, and the annual fee for Global Satellite TV is 200 Hong Kong dollars a year, which adds up to 600 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, in Malaysia, it is not the Hong Kong dollar, but the ringgit, but the price of the ringgit is equivalent to six hundred Hong Kong dollars. In Malaysia, the living standards of the Chinese are generally in the upper-middle level, only 600 Hong Kong dollars, which is not a big burden for most of them. In order to support his daughter or wife, no man can refuse to face their plea. Similar scenes occurred in Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and other places. Of course, there are many businessmen who are very concerned about the information of Xiangjiang, but because of objective conditions, they can only understand the situation through newspapers, and the timeliness is relatively poor. Nowadays, as long as the satellite signal receiver is installed and the annual fee service is activated, they can learn about Hong Kong by watching TV without going out, which is very convenient for them. Just a few hundred dollars, it''s not a bargain! Therefore, this group of people also contributed to the sales of satellite signal receivers. After the first day of the audition, the list and number of people who passed the audition were all reported to Global TV. And Jiuding Electric Supermarkets across Southeast Asia also reported the sales of satellite signal receivers to the headquarter of Xiangjiang, and stores that were out of stock immediately reported replenishment. At the end of the day, the cumulative sales of satellite signal receivers totaled 7,515 sets, an average of 227 sets per store. Total sales reached 3 million Hong Kong dollars. And the annual fee of Global Satellite TV is 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. An absolute good start! Exciting clips and interview videos of the audition are continuously broadcast on Global TV Entertainment, and the influence of the audition of "Super Girl" continues to expand. On the second day of the audition, the total sales of satellite signal receivers reached 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the annual fee income was 1.75 million Hong Kong dollars, a new peak. On this day, Global Satellite TV¡¯s ratings in Southeast Asia exceeded 10,000, and the ratings reached 78% at its highest! The ratings are quoted, and the base is the number of users who have activated the annual fee service. Otherwise, if you count the number of TVs owned by Southeast Asia, you won''t even want to reach 1% of the ratings. As for the audience share-100%! No way, exclusive business! No competitors! These data were finally reported to Xia Yu''s desktop. After reading it, when Xia Yu was happy, he called Colin Heist and told him to put the second batch of three new production lines into production as soon as possible to cope with the hot market. The cost of a satellite signal receiver is close to 100 Hong Kong dollars, but the ex-factory price is 250 Hong Kong dollars when sold to Jiuding Electric Supermarket. The unified retail price is 400 Hong Kong dollars, leaving a profit margin of 150 Hong Kong dollars for Jiuding Electric Supermarket. . Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company also left a margin of 150 Hong Kong dollars for gross profit. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, the net profit can be close to 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is absolutely huge profits! It''s normal to think about it. There is only one of them in Southeast Asia, which is an absolutely monopolistic business. Monopoly is huge profits! If it were not for the expansion strategy of Global Satellite TV, Colin Hester would dare to increase the unified retail price to 800 Hong Kong dollars and set the ex-factory price to 600 Hong Kong dollars. However, Jiuding Electric and Universal Television are both brother companies, and he is just a professional manager. He does not need to offend colleagues from the other two companies. After half a month. The audition of "Super Girl" continues, and its influence has expanded several times. Companies, schools, subway stations, buses... You can hear the topic of "Super Girl" everywhere. However, the publicity of Global TV is still overwhelming. There are advertisements and posters of "Super Girl" everywhere. It is a carpet bombing mode at no cost, and it has hardly brainwashed the citizens! In half a month, 100,000 sets of satellite signal receivers have been sold, and the total sales have reached more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars Fortunately, only Global TV signals can be received in Asia now, making satellites The signal receiver is extremely simple to search for signals. The user can buy it back and connect the line to automatically search for channels, which greatly relieves the pressure of after-sales service. There are very few that really need on-site installation. Otherwise, with 100,000 sets, Jiuding Electric has to be installed in the Year of the Monkey! The gross profit of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company and Jiuding Electric Mall are both over HK$15 million. The annual fee income of Universal Television exceeds 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which has completely recovered the investment cost of the promotion. Global Satellite TV''s influence in Southeast Asia covers hundreds of thousands of viewers (a TV cannot be watched by one person). After the data was exposed, the media in Hong Kong was shaken, and TVB stations suffered a huge blow. Uncle Shao Liu felt suffocated, and some shareholders of TVB also fell into doubt. The future was dark, hesitating whether to get out of this quagmire. And the most exciting ones are those companies. A group of people ran to Global TV with a wave of bills and wanted to buy some advertising spaces. But unfortunately, most of these advertising spaces are occupied by companies of the Jiuding Consortium. Global Satellite TV is clearly in a period of explosive growth. Selling advertising space at this time is the most unwise, because the value cannot be defined. In addition, "Super Girl" already has the foundation of a phenomenon-level program. Whether it is a title advertisement or an interstitial advertisement, it is very scary to add to the reputation of the product, and it is definitely a scarce resource. How could Xia Yu release such rich and hard-to-find resources? It is hard to guarantee that you will not raise your competitors! He won''t cause trouble for his company for such a small advertising fee. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 689: $200 million order Chapter 689 On October 1st, the whole country celebrates! Of course, in Xiangjiang, the influence of the National Day is not too deep, mainly because the Hong Kong Chinese-funded enterprises such as Bank of China and China Resources Group held celebration ceremonies in Hong Kong. On this day, Xia Yu was in a happy mood, not only because it was National Day, but also because Julian Robertson finally came. Jiuding Building, meeting room. Xia Yu, Wang Qi, Liu Xiao, Jason Gregg, Julian Robertson, and representatives of the Bright Fund gathered together. The Tiger Global Fund was established. When Xia Yu fulfilled his promise, it was also the time to finally reach a cooperation. Back in the United Kingdom, Xia Yu promised to attract US$100 million in investment for Julian Robertson¡¯s company. Xia Yu did not intend to be too exposed. After all, when the Tiger Fund grew up, it would be too dazzling to be the only investor in the Tiger Fund, which might bring him considerable risks. It is also easy for Julian Robertson to have other ideas. So even for the sake of face-saving, Xia Yu asked several companies to come forward together, and 100 million US dollars of funds were provided by several companies. Bright Fund, Galaxy Fund, Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Insurance Company, each company established a shell company to provide 25 million US dollars of investment in the name of the shell company. The four companies provide a total of 100 million US dollars! Of course, the money was actually taken out of Xia Yu''s pocket, it was just a bend. After the contract was signed, Julian Robertson smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one. Afterwards, Wang Qi and others left and went back to deal with the affairs of their respective companies. Xia Yu took Julian Robertson to visit some companies and showed him his muscles. At noon, Xia Yu invited Julian Robertson to a good lunch. Until about four o''clock in the afternoon, Julian Robertson boarded the plane with a group of representatives sent by major companies and financial supervisors and flew to New York. At this point, the two major financial thugs are in place! As long as these two future kings of hedge funds grow up, Xia Yu''s life will become more comfortable. As night fell, Xia Yu, who was in a good mood, went home and drove a small train. It was another beautiful night! Xiangjiang is in the East Eighth District, and San Francisco, USA, goes to the West Eighth District. When Hong Kong was at 12 o''clock in the morning on October 2nd, San Francisco in the United States was just 9 o''clock in the morning on October 1st. On this day, the United States Electronic Technology Expo opened grandly. Due to the problems of America''s world status and strength, many conventions and exhibitions held in the United States are actually the largest in the world, and the US Electronic Technology Expo is no exception. Each session can attract companies from all over the world to actively participate. A variety of the latest electronic products and scientific research results are everywhere. IBM, Motorola, Texas Instruments, Apple, Sony, Philips, etc. are all exhibiting their own novel high-tech products at the expo. Large-scale semi-automatic machine tools, computers, large and small home appliances, game consoles, chips, etc. are all. Electronic products in the game field are divided into the East 2 Zone of the Expo, adjacent to the computer exhibition area. Atari, Taidong, Nintendo, Nangong Dream and other well-known game companies, as well as a large number of small and medium game companies have displayed their own games. Among them, Atari Company and Taidong Company are the most popular, not to mention the largest exhibition area, and they are also watched or experienced by a large group of people. Many of these people are game dealers from all over the world, and they come here to explore business opportunities every year. It is precisely because of a group of them that the latest electronic technology products can be presented to consumers at the fastest speed. It is precisely because of this that countless small electronic technology wages smashed their heads and want to get the right to participate, as long as you enter this door, you will have a flying opportunity! Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. is a new company, not well-known in the world. Fortunately, it was shown as the parent company of Sega when it reported, and it was co-exhibiting with Sega. Otherwise, don¡¯t want to get the location close to the central area. It''s hard to say that there are booths. The expo was led by Huo Jianning and Hayao Nakamura. Seeing the crowds of Atari and Taidong not far away, a senior executive of Sega said in a somewhat enviable tone: "Unexpectedly, it has been more than a year. Atari¡¯s 2600 game console and Taidong The company¡¯s "Space Invaders" is still so popular." Hayao Nakamura was a little unhappy about the behavior of his subordinates who had no ambitions of his own. He said with a cold face: "You should learn more about the industry. Atari is just lucky. Last year Atari 2600 game console did not do well. , Before it was completely optimized, it was introduced to the market, which caused internal problems. Founder Nolan Bushwell resigned, but Fairchild gave up the game console manufacturing industry, allowing them time to optimize while selling, and finally unified The market, this is caused by accidental factors in the market." "As for Taidong Company? Although the launch of "Space Invaders 2" is innovative, it is going the old way. If there is no game of our company, it will definitely be brilliant, but this time the expo, the scenery will definitely belong to us!" Huo Jianning was also confident, nodded and smiled: "Yes, don''t worry, have confidence in ourselves! Maybe those people will become our customers later!" After speaking, Huo Jianning turned around and looked at the venue behind him. Twenty arcade machines, four of each of the five games, were placed in the huge venue. The old arcade machines were never brought over to the exhibition. At this time, there are already two people trying to play in front of the 20 arcade machines. Each one has a dedicated staff waiting for consultation. You can consult them for game information and business information. As time passed, the popularity of the entire expo became more and more prosperous, almost crowded in the aisles, and more and more people entered the venues of Sega and Tiangong Electronics. Five games such as "Super Mario" and "Tank War" are absolutely excellent in quality. Many game enthusiasts tried to play and immediately became loyal fans. "Oh God, this Huaxia cube is too difficult to play, I don''t believe it can''t last a minute!" A boy with obsessive-compulsive disorder grabbed the head of the chicken coop in pain, gritted his teeth and continued to pick up the game coins in the next basket and stuffed it in to continue playing. The staff standing next to him smiled and did not stop at all, wishing his exaggeration the better , So that the nearby dealers can see the intuitive effect. "Donkey Kong", "Tank Battle", "Pac-Man" and other arcades also gathered a group of people in front of the arcade, the people who played it seriously, and the people who watched it talked a lot. Of course, the four arcade machines of "Super Mario" are the most popular, and the atmosphere is the strongest. Some of the game console dealers who have entered have a vicious eye, and they are immediately surprised after the trial. These five games are too playable. Compared with these five games, "Space Invaders 2" is not said to be rubbish, but it also looks ordinary! When I learned that the price of the five arcade machines is between US$2,300 and US$2,500, I was even more surprised! After the surprise, I rushed to place an order, and for a while, the order floated like snowflakes. Fifty, one hundred, two hundred, eight hundred... In just ten minutes, nine dealers signed orders, and the total number of orders reached 825 units. And orders are still coming in continuously. Huo Jianning and Hayao Nakamura, who were still thinking about chatting just now, were so busy. But the mood of the two is extremely happy. In order to stimulate dealers to place large orders, Huo Jianning and Nakamura Hayao have always emphasized that the arcade machine has just been put into production, and there is not much inventory. There are only two thousand in stock in San Francisco, first come first served! California game seller tycoon Jim is a Jew in his forties and has very rich channels. Last year he sold more than 8,000 arcade machines from him alone. This is what all major game companies must strive for. . In 1978, he had a keen eye and beaded bead, and at a very fast speed, he won two thousand "Space Invaders" arcade machines from Taidong Company. The goods were distributed before other dealers reacted, and he made a lot of money. Today he came to Taidong''s exhibition area very early, but saw the most conspicuous "Space Invaders 2" arcade machine. After the trial, he was even more disappointed, but because of the lack of face. After finally getting rid of the entanglement of the staff of Taidong Company, I found an excuse to slip away first. When he came to Tiangong Electronics, he just watched for three minutes before he fell. He intuitively told him that last year¡¯s opportunity came again, but it was no longer Taidong, but Sega and never heard of it before. Tiangong Electronics. At first he wanted to bargain, and even directly broke out the bargaining chip for two thousand units, but Huo Jianning did not let go. After seeing other dealers keep placing orders, he was afraid that it would be out of stock and missed the opportunity to make money. , And ultimately compromise. As for other game companies? Sorry, no need to watch it! Not far away, the staff of Taidong Company found something was wrong, and watched the crowd shift to Tiangong Electronics, and immediately came over to inquire about the situation. Five minutes later, the staff of Taidong Company walked back in a panic and reported to the person in charge of the scene, Shuren Jin Jiang. "Manager, it''s not good. There are five new arcade machines launched by Tiangong Electronics and Sega. Many dealers are placing orders after trying them out. Among them is Mr. Jim. Mr. Jim placed an order for two thousand units at once! " "Nani?" "Two thousand units?" "Are you sure you read it right?! Jin Jiang Shuren''s face instantly became solemn, staring at Xia Yu to confirm again. The subordinate immediately nodded: "I''m sure, I was listening around just now!" Suddenly, Jin Jiang Shuren''s face was gloomy, and the frowning of his brows could trap mosquitoes. "I know!" After Jin Jiang Shuren finished speaking, he hesitated for a while and went to the exhibition area of ??Tiangong Electronics and Sega in person. After quietly observing, especially seeing that Jim who has placed an order is playing "Super Mario" with great interest, Imae Shuren''s face is ugly and he can''t believe it! Although these five arcade machines are already on the market, they are only Xiangjiang. They are produced by Tiangong Electronics and given to Xia Lei in advance. In the island country, Sega also has its own factory. In order to be a blockbuster at the Electronic Technology Expo in the United States, Sega has not yet opened a new product launch conference and has been hoarding goods, so Taidong only knew that Sega was developing new products, but did not see What kind of game is it? Unexpectedly, Sega produced five brand new arcade machines at once, each of which is of top quality, which is troublesome! "Yeah? Isn''t this Mr. Jinjiang? Why are you free to come to our exhibition area now?" Just at this time, Hayao Nakamura finished signing another order, raised his head just to see Shuren Imae who had not left, and said with a smile on his face. It''s just that the tone is full of Noyu. Hayao Nakamura cannot forget how the former boss of Taito Company despised him in the Island Game Association. Shuren Jinjiang''s mouth twitched, and he squeezed a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "I just passed by, and I didn''t expect Sega to develop five games at once." After speaking, he didn''t want to see Hayao Nakamura''s cheesy face, he smeared the soles of his feet, and left griefly. Looking at Shuren Imae''s somewhat flustered back, Hayao Nakamura laughed and felt very happy. Just as Imae Shuren reported to the parent company, Tiangong Electric and Sega received more and more orders, and Huo Jianning and Nakamura Hayao signed the contract. At the end of the first day of the exhibition, Tiangong Electronics and Sega directly completed more than 15,000 orders. The total order volume of the two companies reached 35 million U.S. dollars. The transaction volume temporarily ranked first in the game exhibition area. One. The reputation of Tiangong Electronics and Sega suddenly burst Some dealers who had not been there on the first day got the news and rushed to San Francisco overnight. Customers who have already participated in the exhibition but did not come to the Tiangong Electronics exhibition area during the day have decided to come and have a look the next day. Early the next morning. The exhibition areas of Tiangong Electronics and Sega were more popular than the first day, and 32,000 units were directly signed in one day, more than double the previous day. Customers placing orders are not only local distributors in the United States, but also many from the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and Canada. In addition to the order on the first day, the total order amount in the two days has exceeded 100 million US dollars. Huo Jianning did not hide it, and generously informed outsiders that Tiangong Electronics and Sega became the focus. After the organizers of the Expo learned of the news, they immediately took it as a feat, publicized it, and a large number of reporters rushed to report it. When the expo came down for three days, the total number of orders reached 84,000 units, totaling more than 200 million U.S. dollars. It was even crazier than the Taidong company last year. Its turnover entered the tenth place in the Electronic Technology Expo, directly placing Yada Lihe Taidong Company is under the pressure, ranking first in the game field. And the best result achieved by Sega in the past is only the fourth place in the game field, this time it broke out to the top! The market is so big, and Tiangong Electronics and Sega have eaten so much. Of course, other companies have had poor results. Tiangong Electronics and Sega have directly become the thorns of all companies. No matter where they go, Huo Jianning and others will feel the deep malice around them. But in this regard, Huo Jianning just shrugged and said, whocare? He can''t wait to return to Xiangjiang and report his results to the chairman! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 690: Mid-autumn meet with parents When Huo Jianning returned to Xiangjiang, it was October 5th in the solar calendar. On this day, the whole Xiangjiang was filled with a festive atmosphere. The consumer goods business in Hong Kong is very good today, and the passenger flow in markets, shopping malls and other places is much higher than usual. Just because this day is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival! Many long-term wanderers come back to gather with their families, and their parents will prepare the best food to celebrate the reunion! Therefore, on this day, Huo Jianning was doomed to find Xia Yu, because Xia Yu did not go to the company at all, and was busy preparing food and gifts. Not only at home, but I also need to find friends to walk around. For example, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and other friends, Xia Yu could not stop visiting. When he returned from Huo Ying''s house, it was already around 4:30 in the afternoon. "Cici, are you ready? It''s almost time to set off!" In Li Qian''s villa, Xia Yu opened the door and said to Li Qian, who was well dressed in front of the dressing table. "A Yu, wait a minute, I''ll finish drawing after a while." Li Qian said in a somewhat coquettish tone, and her hand movement with the eyebrow pencil accelerated slightly. It is rare to see Li Qian look like this, Xia Yu smiled softly: "Okay, I am waiting for you in the living room!" After speaking, he smiled and shook his head, closed the door again, and walked towards the living room. Although Li Qian usually dresses up, she is faster, but today she pays special attention to it. Just because Xia Yu will take her back to the Mid-Autumn Festival. This was the first time Xia Yu took her back to see her parents. Li Qian was very nervous, for fear that Xia Yu''s parents would not like her, so she wanted to show her best. Xia Yu also understood her feelings, so in the face of Li Qian''s serious overtime situation, he could only smile helplessly. Ten minutes later, the glorious Li Qian finally came out. Xia Yu smiled and admired her carefully before saying in Li Qian''s expectant eyes, "Where is this fairy from? Why is this beautiful!" "Hehe!" "really?" Li Qian smiled, blinking Shu Lingling''s big eyes and asked. "Of course it''s true, I''m so lucky, the fairy has come to me!" Xia Yu held her shoulders, looked directly at her, and said solemnly. Li Qian pursed her lips and chuckled, Xiafei''s cheeks. "Come to coax people again, but... so happy!" "Haha!" The two frolicked for a while before they went out and boarded the car and headed to Xia Yu''s house. It is a pity that because a section of the road is under repair, it is very congested. However, some people rushed home and drove carelessly. There was a traffic accident. Xia Yu found depressed that there was a traffic jam! He couldn''t move forward, and there was a long line of cars behind him, preventing him from reversing and driving back. "Forget it, the police have passed, and it shouldn''t take long to pass!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he opened the car window for ventilation, and looked around at will. He suddenly found a 7-11 convenience store next to him. Xia Yu saw the crowds in the store through the glass window. Obviously business was very good. Xia Yu smiled faintly, ready to take back his gaze. At this moment, he saw a group of children coming noisily from the side, seeming to be arguing about something. "Mingzai, everyone said that today is the holiday, you must have remembered it wrong, you have to admit it if you are wrong, and keep fighting with us, so annoying you!" I saw the leader of a six or seven-year-old child wearing suspender jeans and small black leather shoes suddenly stopped, turned and said to the little boy named Mingzi who followed at the end. Several other children also stopped and echoed the little boy named Mingzi. "Yes, Mingzai, my brother came back from Singapore today, just to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It must be today." "Yes, you have to admit it if you remember it wrong. We are helping you correct it. Why must you not admit your mistakes!" ... The little boy named Mingzi pursed his mouth, looked sad and aggrieved, and said stubbornly: "But it''s really tomorrow for the festival. My dad says that it''s the festival. He will definitely not lie to me!" A group of children stopped arguing and also attracted Li Qian''s attention. She was puzzled and said to Xia Yu: "A Yu, what are they arguing?" Xia Yu thought of something instead. He took a closer look at the little boy named Mingzi and said inexplicably, "You should know if you look at it again." Li Qian lightly touched her head, she couldn''t walk in the traffic anyway, she watched the children''s quarrel with a nostalgic mentality. "Well, we won''t fight with you anymore, it''s boring to play with you, don''t follow us anymore!" The little boy in the lead said impatiently. After speaking, he took out a hundred Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, raised his head and said proudly. "I invite everyone to drink coke and eat moon cakes, Mingzi, don''t come with you, without your share!" "Ok, Huizi is so generous!" "Hui Tsai is the boss!" Soon, a group of children rushed into the 7-11 convenience store, led by a child named Huizai. After a while, they handed a bottle of Coke and a moon cake, and then dazzled them by Mingzai. Although the little boy named Mingzai stood aggrieved, he swallowed unconvincingly. "Mingzai swallowed, hehe!" "Oh Oh~" "Mingzi, the teacher said that if you know your mistakes and you can correct them, you are a good boy. As long as you admit your mistakes, we will play with you. We will also give you this moon cake and coke." The little boy named Huizi came over suddenly and said to Mingzi with a bottle of Coke and a moon cake. "A Yu, when he is only six or seven years old, he knows how to use his interests to force others to submit?" Li Qian said in surprise in the car. What is common in adults actually happened to a little boy, which really made her feel weird. Xia Yu was also a little surprised. "It should be learned from his parents. I learned this at a young age. It''s too premature, but this kind of person is the most able to survive in society when he grows up." Li Qian thought for a while and nodded slightly in agreement. "Huh, I''m not rare, my father will buy me moon cakes tomorrow!" Although the little boy named Mingzi was eager in his eyes, his self-esteem was not low, so he turned his head and said, with a stubborn expression. "No, I won''t give it to you!" "Let''s go and we won''t play with him anymore!" Then, a group of young boys ran away, leaving Mingzai standing in place, with red eyes but a stubborn face. "Why are they doing this? This little boy is so pitiful." Li Qian muttered, complaining about Ming Zi, and her eyes filled with pity. "Ayu, can you wait for me? I''ll go to the convenience store." Xia Yu was a little surprised, wondering what Li Qian wanted to do, so he nodded and said, "Well, don''t go far!" Li Qian smiled, then quickly got off the car and walked to the little boy Mingzai who wanted to leave. "Children, wait a minute!" "Pretty sister, what''s the matter with you?" Mingzi asked politely. "Can you do me a favor? My sister has a pain in her feet and wants to buy a newspaper. Can you go to the newsstand over there and buy me a copy of Jiuding Daily?" Li Qian lowered her head and asked gently. Mingzi looked at the newsstand that was not far away, nodded heavily, and said happily, "Okay, sister, I will buy it for you." Li Qian touched Mingzi''s head, took out one Hong Kong dollar and handed it to Mingzi. The little boy Mingzai immediately ran towards the newsstand. Then Xia Yu saw Li Qian entering the convenience store, and after a while, she came out again before Mingzai came back with a box of mooncakes in her hand. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, knowing what Li Qian wanted to do. After a while, the little boy Ming Tsai came back panting, holding a copy of "Jiuding Daily" and handing the recovered change to Li Qian and said, "Sister, I bought it for you. This is the recovered change. ." "Awesome, thank you!" Li Qian took the newspaper and the change and said happily. "You''re welcome, the teacher taught us to help others! This is what I should do!" The little boy Mingzai said with a happy smile on his face. "So good!" "Our teacher also taught me that I should be thankful for accepting the help of others. Hey, this is the reward my sister gave you." Li Qian said that he took the little hand of the little boy Mingzi and hung the mooncake strap from the book on his hand. The little boy Mingzai''s eyes widened, and he didn''t realize what was going on for a while. After froze for two seconds, he hurriedly said: "Sister, this is too expensive, I can''t accept your moon cakes, I can''t ask for them!" With that said, he still wanted to return the mooncake to Li Qian. Li Qian didn¡¯t accept it. She touched the little boy¡¯s head and said, ¡°My little friend, you helped your sister run errands and worked hard. This is the payment your sister gave you. If I buy it myself, my feet may hurt even more. I have to go to the hospital for treatment. , Will spend more money, you have saved me money, I also want to thank you!" "Take it, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance!" After Li Qian finished speaking, she waved to him, then got into the car by the big door, and slowly rolled the window up. "Pretty sister, thank you! I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" The little boy Mingzai looked at the mooncake in his hand, clenched his fist, raised his right hand and waved to Li Qian, shouting loudly. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 691: 100 million net profit Li Qian smiled and shook the car window completely while waving. "A Yu, what''s the matter?" Turning his head and looking at Xia Yu smiling at herself, Li Qian asked strangely. "Nothing, you are great! I support your approach." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Hehe!" Li Qian received the praise from her lover, and she immediately smiled. At this time, the front was finally cleared, and the car started again. After Li Qian laughed, she looked out the window subconsciously and found that the little boy was still standing there waving. Li Qian pursed her mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, leaning against Xia Yu''s chest, and said in a melancholy tone: "Actually, I didn''t react at first, but after he said a word, I reacted." "I was almost like him when I was young." "At that time, I lived in an orphanage, and I was looking forward to eating mooncakes near the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we were different from outsiders. There were many children in the orphanage, and the dean¡¯s aunt would cost a lot of money to buy mooncakes." "Every time, I bought moon cakes for us to eat after the festival." "At that time, I was ignorant. For us, the day when we ate mooncakes and looked at the moon on the 16th of the lunar calendar was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Speaking of this, Li Qian seemed to remember the sad life of her childhood, her eyes were a little moist, and she didn''t go any further. There is really an insurmountable gap between the rich and the poor, even during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The rich are fifteen, the poor are sixteen... Unfortunately, there will always be a gap between the rich and the poor in the world. Some people are so exhausted that the money they have earned for a year is not worth the meal of the rich. This is the cruel reality. Xia Yu sighed secretly, stroked Li Qian''s long hair, and comforted: "Xiqian, the past is over. You have to look at the present, isn''t life going well? I won''t let you go anymore. Suffered." "Hmm, love you!" Li Qian nodded, feeling sweet. For a long time, Li Qian said quietly: "A Yu, how many children do you think there are in Xiangjiang like that kid named Mingzi?" After thinking about it, Xia Yu said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but there are tens of thousands of them. Like my family a few years ago, it¡¯s not much better than that little boy. My parents couldn¡¯t save money even after a year of hard work. It is spent on daily eating and drinking and for us to read." "The Hong Kong government only started to implement compulsory education last year, which has reduced the burden on the people at the bottom. I did not have this policy when I was studying." "However, there are too many social contradictions, and the educational burden for the people is only partially resolved. There is still a long way to go to resolve other contradictions!" "The contradiction in the medical field is even greater than that in the education field. How many children cannot be cured because their families are poor." "Just like when I was a child, my parents took me everywhere to see a doctor. I went to an ordinary hospital and used up all my savings. I can''t live in a better hospital. Fortunately, I took it on my own." Speaking of this, Xia Yu saw Li Qian''s expression of pity, and he realized that he was feeling too much. He immediately changed the subject: "Cici, let''s not talk about this, she will be here soon, smile quickly, otherwise the makeup will be spent." "Damn!" Li Qian was awakened and then took out the small mirror and portable toiletry box from her bag to touch up her makeup. In the afternoon, Xia Yu took Li Qian home and surprised Xia''s father and Xia''s mother. Xia Yu''s quirky sister pestered Li Qian to ask questions, and her sister-in-law yelled shortly. That night, the smile on Xia''s father and Xia''s mother''s face never stopped. After dinner, Xia Yu also took his younger brothers and sisters to the observation deck on the second floor, sitting in a row holding moon cakes and illuminating the moon. Several children had a great time playing. Xia Yu rarely relaxes physically and mentally. Happy time is always short. The next day, Xia Yu started to work. First of all, I received a report from Huo Jianning that the order of more than 200 million U.S. dollars in three days, and the order that came to the door in the following two days reached 40 million U.S. dollars. The order of 250 million U.S. dollars in five days was brilliant. The net profit of these orders is at least 150 million US dollars! However, according to Huo Jianning''s report, with the current production capacity of the two companies, it would take three months for three shifts to complete orders for more than 100,000 units. At this time, time is money, and Xia Yu immediately ordered Huo Jianning to expand production capacity immediately, and Huo Jianning led the way like a chicken blood. In the next few days, Xia Yu found that Li Qian liked reading newspapers, and she liked "Fengyun Daily" the most, and she also liked to watch "Focus Interviews" on people''s livelihood while watching TV. Xia Yu finally knew what Li Qian should do! After eating at noon that day, Xia Yu and Li Qian sat on the sofa and watched TV. Turning his head, watching Li Qian watching the news intently, Xia Yu suddenly said, "Xi Qian, tell you something." "A Yu, what''s the matter?" Li Qian blinked her eyes and asked. "I plan to set up a charitable foundation focusing on the growth of children. Would you like to take care of it?" Xia Yu looked at her and said seriously. Li Qian was dumbfounded, and it took a few seconds to react. She asked in surprise: "A Yu, are you planning to do charity? And let me be responsible?" "Yes!" "But I won''t. I haven''t done anything like this before. It will make a mess." Li Qian was caught off guard and said quickly. "Cici, listen to me, I will find someone to assist you in management matters. What the foundation has to do is to help children with heart. In my opinion, only kindness like you can truly spread love to the needs. Of the children If I hand over the foundation to others, it is hard to guarantee that they will not embezzle the money." "If you don''t understand, learn slowly. No one is born to understand everything. I believe you will be qualified for this position." Xia Yu explained seriously, staring directly at Li Qian. Xia Yu''s gaze seemed to have a magical power, which calmed Li Qian''s mood slowly. Thinking that she could help more children, Li Qian nodded heavily and said solemnly: "A Yu, I will work hard!" "Ok!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and stroked Li Qian''s face. "Thank you, A Yu!" "Thank me for what I did. I just feel that I have made so much money and it is time to give back some of it to the society." ... Since one thing has been decided, especially since it also involves Li Qian, of course Xia Yu will not procrastinate. One day later, Jiuding Charity Fund was successfully registered. Three days later, Korn Ferry International recommended five people. Xia Yu interviewed one by one and hired a 32-year-old woman named Wang Ling as the deputy manager of Jiuding Charity Fund to assist Li Qian in managing the charity foundation. In the afternoon, a sum of 10 million Hong Kong dollars was credited to the Jiuding Charity Fund¡¯s account at Jiuding Bank. This was the first sum, and Xia Yu would go into it again after it was used up. Regarding charity, Xia Yu did not deliberately publicize it, nor deliberately conceal it, and everything went with the flow. This kind of charity attitude is common in Xiangjiang! Xia Yu found that Li Qian''s smile became brighter since she started to contact charity. Solving Li Qian''s psychological burden and benefiting society is the best of both worlds! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:.

More and more contestants have come to the fore. Many of them have superior backgrounds and use resources to enhance their reputation. Global TV does not stop them from doing this. Anyway, this is a massive starmaking movement, and they are willing to do it themselves. Anyway, the final beneficiaries will only be Universal TV and Universal Music. As long as smart people know the unspoken rule, as long as they are still playing, they must never sign with other music companies. Otherwise don''t want to go down! Global Satellite TV is getting better every day, and other companies are not bad. Take Jiuding Real Estate Group, for example, as soon as October entered, real estate transactions skyrocketed. This is mainly due to the land that Xia Yu asked Liu Shihao to buy before and the real estate under development. On the 1st of this month, the Shek Kip Mei-Kwun Tong section of the Heung Kong MTR was officially opened to traffic, and the housing prices along the MTR soared. In just ten days, it rose by three stories, which is crazy. On the contrary, the faster the house price rises, the more home buyers. Every day, the sales hall is crowded with people, all of them are inspectors or lotteries. Jiuding Real Estate Group has the most land in this section! Of course it is the most profitable! Hearing Liu Shihao''s report on the turnover, Xia Yu just smiled and encouraged him. According to some media statistics, since the beginning of the year, the average price of residential buildings in Xiangjiang has increased by 52% compared to the beginning of the year. In particular, after MacLehose returned from the mainland in April, he brought a message from the north to "relieve Hong Kong investors", which relieved most Chinese in Hong Kong. Xia Yu knows very well that the housing prices in Xiangjiang are still going up! This is not something he can stop. Rather than being compassionate for others, it is better to follow the trend of the times and grow yourself together. Generally, the fourth quarter of each year is a time when the consumption field has risen sharply. To this end, Xia Yu specially convened the heads of the major subsidiaries of Jiuding Retail Group for a meeting in order to understand the details of each company and make strategic adjustments. The meeting was held in Jiuding Building. The leaders of five companies including 7-11 convenience store, Wellcome Supermarket, Wanning Pharmacy, IKEA Furniture, and Jiuding Electric attended the meeting. Xia Yu sat at the head, and the staff in the chairman''s office sat at the end to take notes. Looking across the faces of Fu Kai, Zhou Cheng, Wang Liang, Lin Sen and Song Hai, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. "First introduce the achievements of each company, and then propose the problems encountered in the development process, and the on-site solutions that can be solved." After Xia Yu set the tone, he looked at Fu Kai, who was sitting on the far left. The latter understood and got up to the people present. He bowed slightly and then began to report his results. "With the strong support of the chairman and the parent company, the 7-11 convenience store chain has achieved leaps and bounds. The company has been practicing the plan to open ten stores a week and now has 450 stores, of which Xiangjiang Kowloon owns 120 stores, 100 in the New Territories, 150 on Hong Kong Island, and 80 in Old Town." "The company has 1,520 employees...Last month¡¯s total revenue was HK$107 million..." Not only was Xia Yu not happy about this result, but frowned slightly. This expression fell in Fu Kai''s eyes, and there was a thud in his heart. In fact, in Xia Yu''s view, this speed and revenue are indeed low. He knew very well that in 2012, the 7-11 Convenience Store Group had more than 56,000 stores around the world, of which the island country had 16,000 stores. Among them, the 16,000 stores in the island country alone have 300,000 employees, and the annual turnover has reached more than 60 billion US dollars. Calculating carefully, the average annual turnover of a store is 3.75 million US dollars, and the average monthly revenue reaches 310,000 US dollars. But now counting the 7-11 convenience stores in Hong Kong, the 450 stores have a combined monthly revenue of 10700 million Hong Kong dollars, an average of 2.37 million Hong Kong dollars per store, which is only a little over 50 thousand dollars in U.S. dollars. The gap with island countries has reached more than five times. Although the time span is forty years, Xiangjiang is not a mainland, and the gap with Europe and the United States is relatively small, and it will not depreciate money six times in 40 years. Therefore, the 7-11 convenience store chain still has a lot of potential to be tapped. After Fu Kai finished the report, he looked at Xia Yu nervously, and he was secretly relieved when he found that the chairman had no idea to speak. "Zhou Cheng." After Xia Yu called, Zhou Chengma of the Wellcome Supermarket stood up and bowed, and then began to report. "Report to the chairman, Wellcome Supermarket Co., Ltd. opened a new supermarket in Mong Kok again in September. At present, the company has 12 large supermarkets and 18 medium-sized supermarkets. The average monthly revenue of large-sized supermarkets is about 6 million. The monthly revenue is about 3 million, and the total revenue last month is 132 million Hong Kong dollars..." Xia Yu is still satisfied with this result, but there is still potential to be tapped. In the future mainland, as long as the business location is good, a 10,000-square-meter super-large supermarket can have an annual turnover of 500 million yuan and a peak monthly revenue of 41 million ~ www.novelhall.com~ converted to HK$4,000. Six million. Now the large supermarkets in Xia Yu are generally between 1,500 square meters and 2,500 square meters, and monthly revenue of 6 million Hong Kong dollars is certainly not bad. Moreover, the population density of Xiangjiang is much larger than that of the mainland, and the consumption level is of course higher. "Report to the chairman..." Next, Wang Liang, Lin Sen, Song Hai and others reported one by one. After expansion, Wanning Pharmacy now has 48 stores in Hong Kong and Austria. Because of its relatively large scale, IKEA Furniture City currently has four flagship stores, three in Hong Kong and one in Omen. The last is Jiuding Electric Co., Ltd. Xia Yu heard Song Hai¡¯s report last month, so I won¡¯t mention it here. In general, the five subsidiaries of Jiuding Retail Group have developed well. Retailers have a scary cash flow, and they can suppress the supplier''s payment for one to three months. The money is in Jiuding Bank. The monthly turnover of Jiuding Retail Group can reach 400 million, and it has made a huge contribution to Jiuding Bank. "I have listened to your report. Generally speaking, it is worthy of praise." "However, with the exception of Jiuding Electric, the expansion of the other four companies is limited to Xiangjiang and Longmen. Although it is conducive to laying a solid foundation, but one year Time is enough, it¡¯s time to go out of Hong Kong and Macau." Xia Yu concluded. Lin Sen, the general manager of IKEA Furniture Co., Ltd. hesitated to say something, Xia Yu nodded to him, and he immediately reported: "Chairman, our IKEA furniture situation is special." "IKEA is a Swedish company. At that time, Yihe During the period, in order to open up the market in Xiangjiang, IKEA franchised Jardine to open a store as a franchise store, and only needed to pay a certain franchise fee every year." "After you take over, this clause will remain unchanged, but IKEA Furniture only provides The franchise rights of Xiangjiang and Longmen have been lost, so if we want to expand abroad, this is a difficult problem we have to face!" PS: Ask for votes v3 Chapter 693: Targeting American Southern Company Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 693 Author Huang Lao wet Full text number 2598 words After hearing Lin Sen''s account, Xia Yu frowned slightly. He knew that IKEA was a franchise store before, but after a long time, he didn''t care. Lin Sen suddenly mentioned that he had to face this problem. The IKEA Group only gave the franchise rights to Xiangjiang and Omen. If you want to get out of Xiangjiang and Omen, there is only one way to go, and that is to negotiate again and win franchise rights in a larger field. "Lin Sen, if you go to talk, can you be sure to win the franchise rights in Southeast Asia?" Xia Yu asked. Lin Sen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Chairman, I''m not sure." "As far as I know, IKEA is expanding in Europe at this time. There is no direct store in Asia, only our franchise stores. "But our franchise store is the only franchise quota released by the IKEA Group worldwide, so I am not sure if I can get franchise rights in other fields." It seems that my IKEA furniture is a special existence! He thought he had remembered it wrong. Later IKEA Group, the world''s largest home furnishing giant, has always used the global direct sales model and does not accept any form of commercial franchise. The same is true for future generations of Xiangjiang IKEA. It is estimated that the franchise rights of Xiangjiang IKEA were taken away at some point. Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately asked: "How many years are there before our franchise rights?" Lin Sen immediately replied: "We have twelve years to return to the chairman!" Twelve years? It''s so short! In other words, in 1991, his IKEA Furniture Co., Ltd. had to face a choice, either successfully obtained the right to renew the franchise, or changed its name and cut off the supply of goods, there was no other way. The current IKEA Group may still be relatively weak, but by 1991, it has definitely grown up. When facing the group strategy, it is really possible to cancel the franchise right of Xiangjiang IKEA Furniture. This is a time bomb! With Xia Yu''s character, it''s okay that he didn''t find it. Now that he has found it, it is of course impossible to accept this threat! It¡¯s just an IKEA furniture. Even after it succeeds in reaching the top, its annual revenue will only be more than 200 billion yuan, and its annual net profit will be more than 20 billion yuan. Many of Xia Yu¡¯s current companies will not grow up to that time. difference. "True!" Xia Yu tapped his fingertips on the table, contemplating a way. Lin Sen, Wang Liang and others kept quiet, especially Lin Sen, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, waiting for orders that might change their destiny. After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Yu decided to use the simplest and most trouble-free method to see if the future global home furnishing giant can be acquired. "So!" "Lin Sen, you first go to Sweden to find out if IKEA is willing to sell. If the acquisition is successful, you will be the person in charge of the Asian region and be responsible for developing the Asian market." Xia Yu always considers everything. In all aspects, after speaking, he pondered for about ten seconds, and continued: "But you have to be prepared for failure second-hand!" "Since the IKEA Group is still expanding in Europe and has not entered the Asian field, we will set up our own The name of the home furnishing brand is "Jiranzhijia". The current IKEA furniture continues to operate as a template for practical learning. "Jiranzhijia" will enter the market except Xiangjiang Omen, and wait until the essence of the IKEA Group is learned. When we get it, we will end the contract with the IKEA Group and change the furniture city in Hong Kong and Austria to our own." "Remember? If you don''t understand, I will come back later. Look for me." Lin Sen replied solemnly, "Understood!" At this time, Lin Sen felt a little passionate. He knew that the chairman was going to make a real move. No matter what, the future of IKEA furniture or "Jiranzhijia" It will be different from now. But these two situations are both a challenge for him, and it is also a good thing. He had made up his mind and immediately formed two teams to implement the chairman''s order after he returned. After Lin Sen took his seat, Xia Yu looked at the others. "Do you have any problems?" Song Hai, the general manager of Jiuding Electric, shook his head first. Last month, the chairman of the board had personally discussed with him in detail, and Jiuding''s path has been clear. "Chairman, our company is also facing similar problems!" Fu Kai from the 7-11 convenience store also got up and reported. "Say!" Xia Yu said concisely and his eyes narrowed slightly. Fu Kai immediately nodded and said: "The 7-11 brand authorization is owned by the American Southern Company. Although the original Jardine period had obtained the brand authorization for 30 years, it was only limited to the two places of Xiangjiang and Omen. Now the brand expires. There are still twenty-eight years!¡± ¡°As far as I know, there are only 7-11 convenience stores in the islands in Asia, and they were much earlier than us. They started in 1973, except for Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Nothing!" "According to the company''s plan, the capacity of Xiangjiang and Longmen is 700 stores. After that, they can only compete to defeat their opponents to compete for the market." Another problem! And the problem is bigger than IKEA furniture! Just because the 7-11 convenience store in the island country has come to the front! After Fu Kai said this, Xia Yu also remembered that later generations seemed to be the failure of the diversification of the Southern Company of the United States, and then in 1991, the island country Ito Yokado acquired 73% of the shares. Of American companies became island companies. That is, under the management of the island country Ito Yokado, 7-11 convenience store has become the world''s largest convenience store group This is a potential enemy! Even if the Xiangjiang 7-11 convenience store obtains more new regional authorizations, it will inevitably conflict with them after the expansion of the 7-11 convenience store in the island country is completed. And most importantly, if Xia Yu does not interfere more, the American Southern Company is acquired by Ito Yokado according to the trajectory, and the lifeblood of the 7-11 convenience store in Hong Kong will be held in his hands. Whether it is dead or alive is not what they say Forget it? To solve this problem, the best way is to grab the American Southern Company before Ito Yokado, and then it will be able to completely open the ceiling of the 7-11 convenience store, and be able to invade the island country''s market. A place of defeat. As for the same as IKEA furniture, set up another brand to enter the Southeast Asian market? This idea Xia Yu gave up after only considering it for a moment. After all, the situation facing 7-11 convenience stores is more complicated, and the most terrible thing is the future competition of the island country Ito Yokado. Even if you set up a brand to operate an all-weather convenience store, you still have to fight the 7-11 convenience store. It may be impossible to tell the winner for decades, so the profit will definitely not be too big and it is not worth it! As for the acquisition of the Southern Company, Xia Yu did not intend to let Fu Kai go. Thinking of this, he said to Fu Kai: "You continue to improve the deployment of stores in Xiangjiang and Longmen, and continue to optimize operations, to raise revenue, and I will let people do other things." "Yes!" Fu Kaisong In a sigh of relief, he responded loudly. "You don''t have the same problems as them, right?" Xia Yu asked Zhou Cheng and Wang Liang. The two immediately shook their heads. The name of Wellcome Supermarket was named by Xia Yu, and of course it is impossible to join. As for Wanning Pharmacy, although it is a product of the Jardine period, it is also a self-created brand. Just because there are no restrictions on joining, it doesn''t mean that there are no other problems. No, Wang Liang from Wangning Pharmacy stood up. v3 Chapter 694: Hutchison Whampoa should move Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry, 694 Author Huang Laoshi, Total Number of Words 2,586 An embarrassing expression appeared on Wang Liang''s face, and he whispered. "Chairman, our Wanning Pharmacy is facing a problem that cannot be solved at our level. This involves unfair competition." "Wanning Pharmacy was established during the Jardine''s period against Watsons of Hutchison Whampoa. With your full support, the company¡¯s stores have expanded rapidly. However, in the daily chemical, health, and beauty markets, Watsons has always ranked first, and we now rank second." "Now the company has forty-eight stores. It should be so small, just because there was trouble halfway." "When we were selecting the site for renovation, some of them happened to be on the Hutchison Whampoa site. These lots are very good, but either they are not leased to us, or they are leased to us. There are always problems with the property and unstable water and electricity supply, which has caused a series of impacts." "As a last resort, I closed three stores and reopened the site, which caused a certain impact and delayed the company''s store deployment. "After Wang Liang finished speaking, 7-11''s general manager Fu Kai also raised his hand and said after Xia Yu''s approval: "Chairman, in fact, we also have this problem. In the Hutchison Whampoa property, It is difficult for us to open a store. We discovered this problem at the beginning. In order not to affect the company¡¯s plan, we adjusted the store plan. If the store is to be opened later, it will inevitably be within the premises of Hutchison Whampoa. I am worried at that time. There will be trouble." "I see!" Xia Yu frowned and said, knocking on the table to let them sit down. "Do you have this situation?" Xia Yu asked, looking at the others. Everyone shook their heads, saying that they haven''t encountered it yet. For a while, the atmosphere in the office was a bit stagnant. Because it involves Hutchison Whampoa, the British giant consortium, they are indeed not qualified to make decisions at this level, and can only count on Chairman Xia Yu. "Haha!" Xia Yu chuckled lightly, seemingly funny and annoyed. He knew in his previous life that when Hutchison Whampoa was in Li Jiacheng''s hands, he also used this kind of unfair competition. Especially in the field of supermarkets, Wal-Mart, Carrefour and others previously opened on the site of Hutchison Whampoa. They have experienced water and power outages. Finally, they withdrew from Xiangjiang in an embarrassing manner, making the retail field of Xiangjiang supermarkets dominated by Watsons. At that time, these foreign supermarket companies criticized Hutchison Whampoa, but Hutchison Whampoa refused to admit it and set aside the pot. This kind of thing is not easy to qualitative, and no evidence that can prove Hutchison Whampoa can be produced. There is no way. Xiangjiang is the site of Li Bancheng, and they can only admit it. Unexpectedly, in this life Hutchison Whampoa was not acquired by Lao Li, and this tactic was also used. But I have to say that although this is very uncomfortable, it is only a form of commercial competition. Watsons backs Hutchison Whampoa. If you do not understand the use of the background, it will not develop to the point where Xiangjiang is the first in this field. . Those big consortia often rely on such measures to defeat opponents in the same field and finally achieve monopoly? Even if it is Xia Yu, if he feels the threat of a company, he will not let the other party make trouble on his own territory. Having said that, since Hutchison Whampoa did this, Xia Yu must be resolved. Think about it carefully, it''s time to close the net after the layout of Hutchison Whampoa for so long. The blood of the Jardine Consortium has cooled, presumably Qi Dezun is not so vigilant. The Jiuding Consortium has already digested the assets of Yihe, and it is time to hunt again! Thinking like this in his heart, Xia Yu didn''t plan to tell Wang Liang and the others, so as not to have too many people and accidentally leak out and cause unnecessary trouble. "I will resolve this matter and temporarily avoid the development of the Hutchison Whampoa site." Xia Yu said lightly. Wang Liang and Fu Kai nodded and said, "Okay!" "Any other questions?" ... After the meeting, everyone followed Xia Yu''s instructions, and Xia Yu left for Jiuding Securities. Called Wang Qi to the office alone, and after closing the door, Xia Yu asked: "Wang Qi, how is the situation in Hutchison Whampoa?" As soon as this word came out, Wang Qi''s spirits lifted and he immediately realized that the chairman finally wanted Started with Hutchison Whampoa. On this day, he had been waiting for a long time! Thinking of this, Wang Qi said and waited a moment, and immediately opened a built-in safe in a bookcase, took out a thick pile of materials, and presented it to Xia Yu. "Chairman, please take a look. This is all the preparations we have made for the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, and the information we have collected." Xia Yu raised his spirit and started from the beginning. The first is the most important equity information. Hutchison Whampoa has a total share capital of 350 million shares, and there are two super-large shareholders. The largest shareholder is Qi Dezun. At this time, Qi Dezun holds a 34.8% stake in Hutchison Whampoa, over 120 million shares. Before the Jardine consortium was attacked by Xia Yu last year, Qi Dezun actually did not hold so much equity, only in his early 20s. After all, before the merger of Hutchison and Whampoa, Qi Dezun was only in charge of Hutchison International, and he was not the founder of Hutchison International, but a latecomer. Through a series of acquisitions, he held more than ordinary shares in Hutchison International. . However, after the merger of Hutchison International and Huangpu Shipbuilding, his shareholding ratio naturally fell sharply. It wasn''t until the failure of the strategy in 1975 that Hutchison Whampoa was taken over by HSBC, and he also retreated behind the scenes. However, although Qi Dezun holds a 34.8% stake at this time, UU Reading www.uuk¨¡nshu. com, but more than one-third of them were acquired in the past year, he borrowed money to leverage acquisitions, just to resist the acquisition of others. In the past year or so, thanks to the upswing of the Hong Kong stock market, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa has also risen to HK$6.87 billion. However, Qi Dezun still lost a lot, because the leveraged buyout stock did not receive dividends, but Hutchison Whampoa continued to lose money, and the impact of this part of the loss would naturally be distributed to him. In addition, using bank funds to leverage the purchase of stocks also cost a lot of interest. In addition to Qi Dezun, the second largest shareholder is HSBC. HSBC holds 31.75% of the equity at this time, which is down from 33.65% last year. The declining equity is in the hands of Qi Dezun. In this way, the shareholding ratio of the two major shareholders, Qi Dezun and HSBC, reached 66.55%, almost reaching two-thirds of the total share capital. In addition to these two major shareholders, there are some small shareholders and retail investors. But what outsiders don''t know is that many of these small shareholders and retail investors are vests of Jiuding Securities. Adding up all vests, Jiuding Securities holds a total of 22.75% of Hutchison Whampoa. With Qi Dezun highly vigilant, it took nearly a year to complete these acquisitions secretly, which is not easy. The rest are the real retail investors and small shareholders, with a total shareholding ratio of 10.7%. These retail investors and small shareholders have a nail-biting nature and will not easily sell their stocks. And these people are also very alert. In order not to be exposed, Jiuding Securities did not purchase it again. After reading these, Xia Yu was quite satisfied. The 22.75% equity ratio has already reached the prerequisites for launching an attack. As long as it is done properly, it is not difficult to surpass Qi Dezun and become the largest shareholder! PS: This pit has been buried for more than a year, it''s time to fill it up, ask for votes. v3 Chapter 695: Norwegian Forest Rebirth: The Most Powerful Henry 695 Author Huang Laoshi Full text number 2493 words "Qi Dezun is in poor health? Are you sure?" Suddenly, Xia Yu asked when he saw a message. Wang Qi immediately nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I have been sending people to watch Qi Dezun¡¯s movements, and I recently discovered this information. Qi Dezun has been in the hospital four times in the past two months. He has emphysema and it is difficult to breathe." "And when he was young, he was imprisoned in the concentration camp of the Japanese army and also served as a soldier. He was injured at that time, and now he is very old, and various problems have arisen. "Xia Yu suddenly understood, and the corner of his mouth murmured: "That''s it!" This is good news for him. Qi Dezun is not healthy, and his mentality will still change. Maybe his confrontational psychology will be even weaker. Later, Xia Yu continued to look down, and more and more information was brought into his mind. After closing the information, Xia Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and instructed Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, the first target of the acquisition plan is HSBC. Since Shen Bi is not satisfied with Hutchison Whampoa, then We will help them relieve their burdens." "Pay attention to the strict plan and be discovered by Qi Dezun as late as possible!" "Understand!" Wang Qi responded loudly, and the blood in his heart gradually boiled. Xia Yu was very satisfied with Wang Qi''s state, and after a few details, let him go ahead. He has previous experience in acquiring a series of companies from the Jardine Matheson Consortium, and Xia Yu believes that Wang Qi can easily manage the plan to acquire Hutchison Whampoa. Besides, Wang Qi is still taking care of the more than US$3 billion that Xia Yu has invested in Jiuding Securities, which is more than 10 billion in Hong Kong dollars, more than twice the total market value of Hutchison Whampoa. With so much capital, it is not difficult to deal with a listed company that has not yet turned a profit and is in a quagmire! In the evening, Xia Yu and Li Qian were about to enjoy themselves after having a drink and a meal. They didn''t expect the phone to ring suddenly and it was Elena, who was far away in London. It turned out that the operation of the Bright Fund was on the right track, and George Berkeley was in charge of the overall situation, making Elena a more leisurely time. So Elena remembered Xia Yu''s invitation to her before, so she called Xia Yu and said she wanted to visit Xiangjiang. Xia Yu readily agreed to Elena''s request. Two days later, the wind was sunny, Xia Yu and Li Qian were Arcade at Kai Tak Airport. "Elena!" "Xia Yu, Cici, it''s nice to see you!" Seeing Xia Yu and Li Qian, Elena was in a good mood. Excited, she came to kiss the two. Xia Yu was very natural, and Li Qian was not surprised. Kissing ceremony is very common in the United Kingdom. It is usually the case when a good friend and relative meet, but it is generally limited to women or men and women. There is no such thing as knowing the man. When she was in the UK, Li Qian was a little strange at first, but later she became accustomed to seeing more, and she went to the countryside to follow the customs. "Elena, get in the car!" In Xia Yu''s greeting, the three people got on a Lincoln extension. "Elena, are you planning to stay in a hotel? Or live with Cici?" "I have a hotel, and Cici''s villa also has many rooms. The safety on both sides is guaranteed." Xia Yu turned his head and looked towards Elena asked, who was chatting with Li Qian. Elena looked at Li Qian and asked, "Cici, I want to live with you, can I?" "Of course it''s okay!" Li Qian said cheerfully. After hearing this, Xia Yu motioned the driver to drive home. Twenty minutes later, Lincoln extended and stopped in the courtyard of Li Qian''s villa, Xia Yu pulled Elena''s suitcase into the house. After the placement, considering that Elena had been on the plane for a long time, Xia Yu took a rest at home in the morning, and at most took Elena to the beach for a walk. In the next two days, Xia Yu took Elena to play around in Xiangjiang, enjoying the local customs of Xiangjiang and satisfying Elena''s curiosity. It coincided with a stroll to Hong Kong Island in the afternoon the next day, and seeing that it was late, Xia Yu planned to have dinner at Wyndham Street in Central on Hong Kong Island. It was half past eight after dinner. A group of people walked out and saw young men and women hanging out on the road. A street was full of various western bars and restaurants, and various cheerful rhythms spread from the bars. One of the bars is the most luxuriously decorated, named "Norwegian Forest". As the daughter of the duke and a good girl since she was a child, Elena has naturally never been in a bar. At this time, she suddenly saw many people coming and going in and out of the bar, listening to the music coming out of it, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. This curiosity happened to be captured by Xia Yu. He smiled and asked: "Elena, haven''t you been in a bar in the UK?" Elena smiled and shook her head and said, "No, my father warned me not to enter a bar, so I never went in." "Ah. Yu, I haven''t been there either." Li Qian blinked her eyes and said suddenly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Xia Yu had nothing to do when seeing the two women who wanted to experience it. Anyway, there are bodyguards by his side and some people secretly protect him. He is confident that it will be fine to enter the bar Then let''s go in and play! "But before that, we have to cover it up!" "Speaking, Xia Yu brought three stylish sunglasses from the bodyguards, each of them wore one pair, and they were not easy to be recognized. After wearing them, a group of people walked into the "Norwegian Forest" bar. Just entered. , A hot and scorching atmosphere came over. Looking around, there are bands performing on the high stage, drums, saxophones, guitars and other musical instruments interact with each other, and a group of stylishly dressed men and women under the stage are wiggling their bodies and releasing Work and life pressure. In addition, there are drinking tables in other places, some people are tired, or simply want to buy drunk people sitting and drinking. Because with two beautiful women, Xia Yu ordered I entered a relatively hidden box, ordered some drinks, drinks and snacks and entered the box. Of course, the box has an opening, and you can choose to open the window to watch the performance in the arena. Just as Xia Yu sat down, a midrange man suddenly sounded in the venue. Holding the microphone and shouting loudly: "Congratulations to everyone present, Zhao Gongzi will pay for all the consumption tonight! "Everyone enjoy the carnival!" ""Wow! "Thank you Young Master Zhao!" "Xia Yu moved for a while, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face, subconsciously following the reputation, only to see a man holding a microphone on the table and applauding to drive the atmosphere of the audience. "A Yu, what''s wrong?" "Li Qian asked suspiciously. Xia Yu smiled faintly and said, "This so-called Zhao company is quite rich, ha ha! "Well, let''s sit down and take a look. If you want to dance, I will accompany you!" "I won''t dance, there are too many people!" "Li Qian thought of the crowded scene on the dance floor, she was suddenly excited, and she shook her head. She didn''t want to be slammed by men other than Xia Yu, even if it was any physical contact. "I don''t want to go, just take a look. That''s it! "Elena is also an elegant and quiet girl, smiling and shaking her head and said. "That''s it, it''s up to you!" " v3 Chapter 696: Fuck them for me "This orange juice tastes good, do you want to try it?" After pouring a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, Xia Yu felt good after tasting it, and asked Elena and Li Qian who were looking at them with great relish. The two had never been in a bar, and it was inevitable that they were a little curious at this time. This was a normal reaction, and Xia Yu could understand it. "A Yu, I want a drink!" "I will try it too, thank you!" "Well, the taste is really refreshing, sweet and sour. Juiced oranges should just be on the market." "..." The sweet and sour orange juice with a fragrant fragrance can well arouse the taste buds and promote saliva secretion. It also has a good effect on relieving greasiness. The two women who have just finished eating inevitably drink more. The three of them ate, drank, and chatted in a relaxed manner, and half an hour passed without knowing it. "A Yu, I want to relieve myself." After drinking too much orange juice, Li Qian blushed slightly and said to Xia Yu. At this time, Elena also said: "I''ll go together too, with a companion!" "Well! I won''t go, wait for you to come back!" After all, the two women got up and got out of the box. Xia Yu looked outside the box, just to see two women in casual clothes coming out of the crowd, hanging behind Li Qian and Elena. These two people are protected by Aegis. Elena is not only his good friend, but also the daughter of the Duke. Of course Xia Yu is concerned about her safety. Therefore, when I went out these days, not only Li Wuming and others followed him, but also bodyguards lurking in the dark. And for more convenience, two rare female bodyguards were specially arranged. ... "Oh, Zhao Gongzi, be careful..." In the aisle outside the bathroom, a red-faced young boy drank with vain steps. He was supported by two beautiful girls, one of whom said with a charming voice. "Hahaha!" "It''s better to go home, it''s like in America...it''s not interesting..." The son of Zhao laughed loudly, feeling excited, his movements became more reckless, and he walked a little wobbly. "Of course, Zhao Gongzi, you are a famous big and young in Xiangjiang. You need wind and wind, rain and rain, and life will definitely be faster..." Touted the pretty **** the left. "Master Zhao, are you still going to America?" "Don''t go! Where is home comfort in the United States, I want to take over the family business." "Then will you forget us..." "Hey, how is this possible, how am I willing to..." Zhao Gongzi joked with the two women. From time to time, people came out of the toilet and passed by, seeing this scene just cast envy, and then left quickly. At this moment, Young Master Zhao spoke, and the two girls who were supporting him immediately looked forward, just in time to see Li Qian and Elena coming out of the bathroom and walking towards them face to face. Li Qian and Elena are both first-class beauties. Even if Mr. Zhao has read countless women in the United States, he also admits that he has never encountered a white beauty that is more beautiful and attractive than Elena. As for Li Qian, not to mention, even Xia Yu can''t control it, let alone Zhao Gongzi, a dude. Already a little drunk, his nerves are more difficult to control his body, so after seeing Li Qian and Elena, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, almost drooling. Seeing Zhao Gongzi''s idiotic appearance, Li Qian and Elena both frowned. They realized that they were wrong, arm in arm to avoid Zhao Gongzi and others, and passed by. "Young Master Zhao..." The girl supporting Zhao Gongzi was anxious, and shook his hand quickly to coquettishly. Zhao Gongzi shook their hands directly, stood up straight and pulled his clothes, trying to make himself appear polite. He stepped forward and stopped Li Qian and Elena, reaching out to shake hands with Elena. "Two beautiful ladies, my name is Zhao Zhian, heir to the wealthy Zhao family, can I make friends with you?" Zhao Zhian came back from the United States for more than a month, and he was used to taking advantage of his own advantages to pick up girls. Every time he reported his family, almost no women would refuse him to strike up a conversation. He tried this trick repeatedly, so he thought it would succeed this time. Only this time he hit a nail. Elena stepped back, avoiding his hand, her face turned pale, forcing herself to calm down. "This gentleman, please get out of the way, we still have things!" But Elena''s reaction aroused Zhao Zhian''s desire to conquer. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to forcibly shake hands with Elena, but because he could not stand steady after drinking, he leaned forward and grabbed directly. Li Qian beside Elena. "what!" Li Qian was so frightened that Huarong was pale, and she screamed and immediately stepped back, avoiding Zhao Zhian''s hand. At this time, the two female bodyguards who found the abnormality hung behind also rushed over, one of them put Zhao Zhian down with one foot, and the other put Li Qian and Elena behind. "Ah, Zhao Gongzi, are you okay!" "Come here, Young Master Zhao was beaten!" The two girls who accompanied Zhao Gongzi saw this scene and suddenly screamed. Several bodyguards of Zhao Zhian who were sitting not far away suddenly stood up and rushed towards this side. "Smelly bitch, dare you hit me!" Zhao Zhian, who fell heavily to the ground, fainted for a few seconds and then recovered. He also woke up a lot of alcohol. He clutched his painful face just hitting the ground and shouted angrily after he got up. "Master, are you okay?" The sturdy bodyguard first checked Zhao Zhian''s condition and asked with concern. At this question, Zhao Zhian roared: "Why is it okay? Didn''t you see that I was beaten? Get me cleaned up!" "Yes!" The bodyguard responded, and suddenly a few bodyguards rushed towards the two guarding female bodyguards. As for Li Qian and Elena, they turned pale and stepped back, praying for Xia Yu to come soon. "Boom boom!" Seeing that two women were able to deal with their three strong bodyguards, Zhao Zhian looked ugly, and at the same time realized that Li Qian and Elena were not easy. However, the alcoholic man is impulsive and does not consider so many things. He boasted that he had never seen Li Qian and Elena in Xiangjiang, and wealthy women would not enter the bar, so he had a fluke. At this time, a few people rushed into the aisle behind. Seeing that this place had become a ball, he immediately speeded up and rushed. These people were the other bodyguards arranged by Xia Yu. When they saw Zhao Zhian''s bodyguards rushing in, they realized something was wrong. "Number 4, inform the boss!" "Stop it all!" The momentum of the fighting has spread, causing a certain amount of chaos to the bar. Many people danced and ran towards the door. A group of big guys watching the scene also rushed over. Seeing this fighting scene, they immediately went high. Shouted. "Boss Guo, our young master was beaten in your place, you can''t help!" Zhao Zhi''an''s bodyguards hurriedly responded to the attacks of Li Qian and others'' bodyguards. After seeing the bar owner, he immediately called for help. Guo Jianglin, who was in his thirties, changed his face and immediately asked him to join the battle group. Apart from anything else, he rescued the thigh he was holding, Zhao Zhian. As the number of people increased, the station circle naturally grew larger, and it was no longer limited to the corridors, and tables and stools all hit the ground. At this time, Xia Yu and the others also ran out of the box in the corner, not seeing Li Qian and Elena, he was nervous. At the same time, his eyes were murderous, and he slapped a young man in black. As for Li Wuming, there is no need to mention it. He doesn''t need Xia Yu''s instructions. If a tiger comes out of the cage, he rushes into the crowd and instantly overturns the two of them. "Ah, run!" "ßÑ~ßÑ~ßÑ~" This sudden situation made the scene more chaotic. Guo Jianglin''s expression changed drastically. He didn''t expect to rush out of such a fierce man suddenly, and he quickly summoned his men to surround him. It happened that Zhao Zhian was also found out from the battle circle, and he was behind him. "This friend, please stop, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Xia Yu stayed unmoved and followed Li Wuming until he saw Li Qian and Elena hiding at the back with pale faces, his heart tightened and he ran quickly. "Cici, Elena, are you all right?" "A Yu, I was scared to death, you are finally here." Li Qian directly threw herself into Xia Yu''s arms, whimpering, her body was still trembling, which was obviously really scaring her. Elena is not much better than Li Qian. Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s back, supporting Elena with one hand, and Elena grasped Xia Yu''s hand tightly, as if she felt safe by doing so. "Xia Yu, fortunately you are here, thank you so much!" "Sorry Elena!" ... After a few minutes, Li Qian and Elena calmed down a bit, and Xia Yu asked them about their situation again. Fortunately, both of them were firmly guarded by bodyguards and were not affected. "You follow me, and I will seek justice for you!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he walked out with a cold face. At this time, there were not many outsiders in the bar, and the people present were clearly divided into two groups. They were Guo Jianglin and Zhao Zhian. There were bodyguards and spectators. There were more than ten people in total. On the other side is Xia Yu, headed by Li Wuming, six bodyguards, less than half the number of the other side. However, Guo Jianglin and others looked at Li Wuming vigilantly as if they were enemies. Many of them are now wounded, and it was Li Wuming who did it. Naturally, they know Li Wuming''s powerful combat effectiveness. "This gentleman, I am..." Seeing Xia Yu coming out, Guo Jianglin said with a smile. But Xia Yu didn''t give him a good face, and shouted coldly: "Shut up!" Guo Jianglin''s smile froze, his face crimson-red, he suppressed the anger and shut up, his subordinates glared. It''s just that Xia Yu is still wearing sunglasses at this time, and Guo Jianglin and others can''t see his expression. "Is it you?" "come out!" Xia Yu stared at Zhao Zhian and ordered coldly. Zhao Zhian had already suffered a lot of beatings, and he believed that he had suffered a loss, and the young man had a good face. At this time, seeing Xia Yu rightly order him, the anger in his heart immediately exploded. "How old are you? Just let me come out!" "Boy, the hair hasn''t grown up to pretend to be a big man, there are seeds here waiting not to go!" When Xia Yu heard this, he knew that he must have sent someone to call for reinforcements. Regarding this approach, Xia Yu sneered at it. He was a second-generation, brain-disabled rich, who bullied men and women by virtue of his family background. If there is no family background, nothing is fart! "Heh, this is the first time I know someone dares to threaten me like this!" Xia Yu sneered. He ignored the angry Zhao Zhian, looked at Guo Jianglin, and said coldly: "Are you the boss of this? Are you sure you should be with him?" Although Guo Jianglin didn''t know the identity of Xia Yu, he also knew it was not easy to provoke. It is estimated that he was also the son of a rich man. He was mourning in his heart and wanted to clear the relationship. But seeing Zhao Zhian''s indifferent warning gaze, he could only bite the bullet and said: "I am the boss of this." He did not answer Xia Yu''s other question. But in Xia Yu''s view, it is the default. It''s just the owner of a bar, Xiaoyi, since he chose to stand on Zhao Zhian''s side, there is nothing to say. At this time, Li Qian whispered a few times in Xia Yu''s ear, and Xia Yu nodded slightly. "A boy of the Zhao family, right? Don''t say I didn''t give you a chance!" "Remember that you are young and ignorant, and you slap ten slaps yourself, that''s all for it!" This kind of punishment is considered light in Xia Yu''s eyes. After all, it scared Li Qian and Elena, and even scolded him just now. It''s just that Li Wuming''s mouth twitched slightly, knowing that Zhao Zhian was going to be unlucky. The choice given by the boss is the most impossible for the other party to accept. As long as the other party refuses, then even if the family behind him knows about it, Li is all taken over by Xia Yu, and any act of revenge can only be passively accepted. "Boy, who are you scaring! You beat me..." "Second Brother Li!" Before Zhao Zhian''s cursing was finished, Xia Yu''s face became cold, and his sword brows were erect and coldly shouted. Li Wuming, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Zhi''an before the opponent could react. After the backhand grabbing, it was a slap, and the latter suddenly wailed. "Ah, it hurts, hiss..." At this time, Guo Jianglin and other talents reacted, but Li Wuming did not dare to approach him in the warning gaze, after all, Zhao Zhian was still in his hands. "Xia Yu, will there be any problems?" At this time, Elena pulled Xia Yu''s clothes and whispered in his ear. She is not worried that Xia Yu will suffer, but she is afraid that Xia Yu will fight and break the law and enter the police station. No matter what, Xia Yu will have a stain. Seeing the worry in Elena''s eyes, Xia Yu smiled slightly and changed his mind. In front of beauties, don''t be so violent, you will lose shares, everyone is an adult, just play advanced gameplay. Isn''t this so-called Young Master Zhao being so arrogant because of his family background? Then directly act on his backer, his family knows, the punishment for him will only be greater. In addition, Xia Yu is about to move Hutchison Whampoa. It is okay to find a target to divert the public''s attention, and by the way, he can earn a small amount of money to subsidize his family. "The last name is Zhao, right? Who is Zhao Congyan?" Xia Yu approached Zhao Zhian and said with a light smile. In Xiangjiang, only Zhao Congyan, one of the four ship kings of Xiangjiang, was the only big man named Zhao who could be in Xia Yu''s eyes. Xia Yu shouted out his old bottom, and his attitude was so casual, which made Zhao Zhian feel flustered. But now, he also has to bite the bullet. "Zhao Congyan is my grandfather!" "There is a kind of name left!" Xia Yu looked at him with a smile, and the contempt in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed. "Want to know who I am? You are not qualified!" "You''ll know in two days!" "Second brother! Take him out together!" "Cici, Elena, let''s go back!" When Xia Yu finished speaking, he took the two women out. Li Wuming escorted Zhao Zhi''an behind the palace, and Guo Jianglin and the others casted a rat avoidance device. They could only watch Xia Yu and others leave. After Xia Yu and others got on the car, Li Wuming threw Zhao Zhian on the ground and got in the car and left. Guo Jianglin and others immediately surrounded Zhao Zhian and helped Zhao Zhian up, and asked with concern: "Master Zhao, are you okay? Would you like to go to the hospital for a check now?" "Do you think I can be fine?" "Oh...hiss..." Zhao Zhian shouted angrily at Guo Jianglin, and couldn''t help but scream out in pain. "Asshole, this is not over, show me who owns that license plate!" "Take me to a hospital!" "Don''t follow along!" "There are so many people, but I can''t beat the other one. I still have to watch the scene, huh..." Zhao Zhian snorted coldly, and took a group of bodyguards into the car and left. Only Guo Jianglin and others were left in place, their expressions extremely ugly. "Boss, this man looks inferior. If he hadn''t had a good family background, he would have been thrown into the sea to feed fish!" A subordinate was angry, Yin Yang said strangely. Guo Jianglin was also angry in his heart and said mockingly: "God is unfair. Some are born superior, what can be done." "Just as I was blind and hugged the wrong thigh!" "Boss, the one who left just now seems to have a bigger background than Zhao Zhian, what should we do?" Another subordinate said suddenly. Not to mention it''s okay, that said, Guo Jianglin''s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his heart was a little hairy. After all, he knew nothing about Xia Yu, and the unknown was always the most frightening thing. "Let¡¯s look up that license plate first and find out what it is." As soon as Guo Jianglin finished his order, one of the youngest youths suddenly said weakly: "Boss, I should have seen the one who can fight the most." As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at him, Guo Jianglin immediately asked: "Tell what you know." The young man swallowed and said truthfully: "I''ve seen that guy on TV before. At that time, Jiwumen opened and fights with the island country karate gym. One of them is the one who can fight the best. The name is Li Wuming." "After reading it at the time, I specifically inquired that this Li Wuming seemed to have been acting as a bodyguard for the stock **** Xia Yu." Guo Jianglin didn''t react at first, but after a second, his face changed drastically, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes. "Stock god?" "I heard that the stock **** is very young. Although the person just wore sunglasses all the time, he is definitely not very old!" Recalling the situation just now, Guo Jianglin only felt black in front of him and was about to faint. Holding the last trace of luck in his heart, he grabbed the young man''s neckline, his face was bruised, and asked: "Are you sure you remembered correctly?" The young man was taken aback. After thinking about it, he nodded with difficulty: "Boss, I remember correctly, unless Li Wuming serves as a bodyguard for others." "Then you recognized it, why didn''t you just say it?!" Guo Jianglin immediately roared to hide the panic in his heart. If he knew that it was Xia Yu, he wouldn''t dare to offend him if he gave him ten courage, no one would hug Zhao Zhian''s thigh! Not to mention Zhao Zhian, the second generation ancestor, even his grandfather, the ship king Zhao Congyan, can''t compare to the **** of stocks. "Boss The lights in the shop were dark just now, I didn''t recognize it for a while." The young man said aggrievedly. In order to create an atmosphere and better release the pressure from the guests, the bar lights are originally dim and dim. Can he blame him for not recognizing it? I would not say it if I knew it! The young man thought with regret. "It''s over!" "Zhao Zhian, who lost my mother Lei, killed me miserably!" Guo Jianglin panicked, cursing in his mouth, but the more he cursed, the more flustered he became. This is the stock **** Xia Yu! According to the legend, the No. 1 boss in Xiangjiang, can there be no power below? If you want to clean him up, it''s easy! And his people also besieged the people Xia Yu wanted to protect, and they all said that women are men''s inferior scales. Offending Xia Yu''s woman would only have more serious consequences! The other subordinates could only remain silent when they saw it, and they were also afraid in their hearts. "No, I have to confirm whether that license plate is a stock **** or not. If it is, I just hope that the big guy will not remember me as a young man!" The distraught Guo Jianglin immediately set off to inquire about the stock **** Xia Yu overnight. But the result was destined to be cruel. When the news was confirmed, Guo Jianglin almost collapsed. Two flowers bloom, one on each table. Let''s say that after Xia Yu brought Elena and Li Qian home, Haosheng comforted the two women. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the two women, they came to the living room to pick up the phone and dialed the phone at Wang Qi''s home. "Wang Qi, let me give someone an extra shift tonight. I remember that Zhao Congyan''s family has several listed companies. Let me engage them! By the way, give me a cover for the plan to acquire Hutchison Whampoa!" "Prepare first tonight, and I will tell you in detail tomorrow morning!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and a sneer at the corner of his mouth. ps: Ask for a monthly recommendation ticket, thank you! v3 Chapter 697: Go short! Short me! Twelve o''clock in the middle of the night. No. 2 Shancun Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong, Surgery Room 2, 3rd Floor, Sanatorium and Hospital. The bodyguard carefully helped Zhao Zhian out and asked in a low voice: "Master, it''s so late, do you stay in the hospital for one night or go home?" Zhao Zhian held a small ice bag on his face. Just about to talk, the muscles on his face twitched his painful corners of his mouth. "hiss!" "Don''t go home, go to my villa tonight." Zhao Zhian thought for a while and ordered. Although he was still resentful at the loss, after a few hours of thinking, he also knew that he should be in trouble. I subconsciously want to escape. If he goes home tonight, if his parents find out, then his mother who protects the calf will definitely find the bottom line. He hasn''t figured out how to deal with it yet. Therefore, it is the best choice for me to go back to my private place to sleep, and wait until tomorrow to calm down. At this time, he finally woke up from alcohol and recovered the IQ of the second generation of the rich. "By the way, hurry up and check the license plate number, and immediately notify me when you find it!" As soon as he was about to get in the car, Zhao Zhian was still worried, and told the bodyguard again. After that, the luxury car started and drove towards his residence. The next day, Xia Yu finished breakfast and asked Li Qian to rest with Elena at home, and took her bodyguard to Jiuding Securities. After arriving at the company, it was only eight o''clock in the morning, half an hour before the official work. However, due to Xia Yu''s order last night, all the elites in the company were already here, and they were working intensively. General manager Wang Qi was in the middle of scheduling. "Chairman, good morning!" After seeing Xia Yu, Wang Qi immediately put down his work. "How''s your preparation?" Xia Yu glanced around in the office and asked Wang Qi. "Chairman, I ordered someone to collect relevant information about the Zhao family overnight. Fortunately, we happened to have certain information when we conducted market analysis." "And I communicated with Manager Yan Wenhan last night, and he was very helpful to let people give me relevant information overnight." "Now the pre-software work is ready." As he said, one of Wang Qichao''s subordinates beckoned, and the subordinates knowingly handed over a folder. Wang Qi opened it ably and presented it to Xia Yu, and continued with the description. "The Zhao family''s main businesses are two large and one small and three, namely, the two listed companies Huaguang Shipping Company and Huaguang Real Estate Company, and the other unlisted Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company." "These three companies can be done after our analysis. In addition, the Zhao family also holds some assets such as property and stock investment. The number is scattered, and it is not meaningful and difficult to do it." "..." While listening to Wang Qi''s introduction, Xia Yu browsed the information. I have to say that the information is very complete at a glance. In fact, think about it, Jiuding Newspaper Company has been in the corporate ranking and rich list for more than a year, and the Economic Research Office has already touched on the business of Xiangjiang. In addition, Jiuding Securities has to conduct capital operations and must study a company to determine the direction of capital operations. Therefore, the information of the three companies of the Zhao family was clearly presented to Xia Yu. Huaguang Shipping Company is the foundation of the fortune of the Zhao family and the most core asset. It mainly operates bulk carriers, supplemented by oil tankers. Among the four major ship kings in Hong Kong, Bao Yugang, headed by him, mainly operates oil tankers, Dong Chuanwang mainly operates container ships, and Cao Chuanwang concurrently operates oil tankers and container ships. The strength of the Zhao family ranks third among the four ship kings, only above Cao Wenjin. Huaguang Shipping was listed in 1973 and its current market value is 1.28 billion Hong Kong dollars. The Zhao family¡¯s shareholding ratio is 51.5%. It is in the absolute controlling range and cannot seize control. The chairman of the board of directors of Huaguang Shipping is Zhao Congyan himself, and his eldest son Zhao Shipeng and his fourth son Zhao Shiguang are the managers and deputy managers. The Zhao family has deep control over Huaguang Shipping. Another Huaguang real estate company was established in the late 1960s when the Zhao family saw the real estate industry''s enthusiasm. It was listed in 1974. Now due to the enthusiasm of the real estate industry, the price-earnings ratio is relatively high, and the market value has reached 920 million. . For Huaguang Real Estate Company, the Zhao family also has complete control, and its shareholding ratio is higher than that of Huaguang Shipping, reaching 53.8%. The chairman of the board of directors is Zhao Shizeng, the third son of Zhao Congyan. He is a well-known **** who loves to make actresses and beauties. He is a frequent visitor to the Shao family. According to media reports, he has interviewed more than five hundred people. More than a dozen women have had swimsuit parties. But it is undeniable that although Zhao Shizeng''s private life is eye-catching, he has good ability and manages Huaguang Real Estate well. And Zhao Shizeng is the biological father of Zhao Zhian. Zhao Zhi''an''s dude son might have learned from his father. In addition to Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate, another Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company is a relatively small company, operating routes between Hong Kong Island Central to Deepwater Wading, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, and New Territories to Outlying Islands, passenger and small Freight is available. Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry is the second largest in the Xiangjiang Ferry market, and the industry leader is the Wharf Star Ferry Company, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xia Yu''s Wharf. This Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei ferry company was not created by the Zhao family, but changed hands after acquiring a lot of shares in the middle. Now the Zhao family holds 42.4% of the shares and is the largest shareholder responsible for the company''s operation. The information also lists detailed shareholder information of the three companies. Among them, Jiuding Securities also holds 1.7 million shares of Huaguang Real Estate, accounting for 3.4% of the total, with a market value of 31.28 million Hong Kong dollars. And these stocks have been held for more than two months. Before Xia Yu used US$3 billion to allow Wang Qi to temporarily invest in value preservation, considering the booming development of the Hong Kong real estate industry , Wang Qi invested a large sum of money in the real estate industry. Now Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. almost holds the shares of the largest real estate company in the Xiangjiang row. The only difference is the amount. As for Huaguang Shipping, Jiuding Securities did not invest. After all, Wang Qi is also aware of Chairman Xia Yu''s attitude towards the shipping market. He himself has a pessimistic attitude towards the shipping market, so naturally he will not invest money in the pit. Closing the folder, Xia Yu thought for a moment and said: "With these three companies, Huaguang Shipping has no value, and I don''t need Huaguang Real Estate. They all give me full short." "As for the Hong Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company, take it for me!" According to the data, the Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company owns the Tsing Yi North Shipyard and Tai Kok Tsui Shipyard, as well as some land on the Tai Kok Tsui Wharf. The area that can be rebuilt exceeds more than 2 million square feet. Although the real estate market on Hong Kong Island has not developed so quickly to Tai Kok Tsui, the potential value of the Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company is huge with so much land. And as long as it is acquired, coupled with the original Star Ferry, Xia Yu will almost dominate Xiangjiang''s short-distance ferry market and become a monopoly giant in this industry. "Chairman, when do you decide to do it?" Wang Qi nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then asked another key question. Xia Yu said without hesitation: "Give you one morning, immediately after the market opens this afternoon!" "understand!" Wang Qi took a deep breath and immediately summoned his subordinates to formulate a plan after the response. Xia Yu also participated in the whole process. With the teamwork of a group of elites, it took less than an hour to produce a complete and highly executed plan. After Xia Yu''s approval, everyone worked according to the division of labor, and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., a large financial machine, immediately started operating at high speed. v3 Chapter 698: Strong selling At ten o''clock in the morning, Zhao Zhian finally got a report from the bodyguard. The license plate number of that car last night belongs to Jiuding Financial Group and belongs to the group bus. The chairman of Jiuding Financial Group is the stock **** Xia Yu. After receiving this news, Zhao Zhian''s expression suddenly changed. Although he has just returned from the United States for more than a month, he does not know much about Xia Yu, but he has also heard a lot about Xia Yu, knowing that he is a life-long tycoon in Xiangjiang, and he has the title of **** of stock. It turned out to be in conflict with him last night! He also scolded Xia Yu a lot, and provoked Xia Yu again and again. In his opinion, this hatred was great. If it were him, he would definitely not bear it, and revenge would be affirmative. It''s just that now he is the villain, that''s trouble! "What should I do? What should I do now?" Zhao Zhian was anxious, walking back and forth in place, even seeming to forget the pain in his body. "Do you want the family to know about this?" When a thought came up, Zhao Zhian shook his head immediately. His grandfather Zhao Congyan was very strict, and he was afraid of him since he was a child. If Grandpa knows that he is in a big trouble, and he is still ignorant, then it is absolutely necessary to clean up. What''s more serious is that it will affect the inheritance of the family property in the future, which he does not want and cannot accept. I''m used to living a life of rich clothes and food, if I don''t have money in the future, what''s the meaning of living? He also wanted to be like his father, soak in the beauty of Xiangjiang! It''s just that this matter is very risky, and he can''t handle it alone, so he turned his mind and thought of the mother who was very fond of him. "You are not allowed to say anything about last night, do you understand? Otherwise, don''t blame me for turning my face and denying people!" Zhao Zhian looked at the bodyguards with a cold expression and ordered. Zhao Zhian''s words are all about this. The bodyguards glanced at each other and all nodded: "Don''t worry, master, we won''t say anything about it!" After that, Zhao Zhian first called back and confirmed that only his mother was at home. He immediately informed his mother Liu Yufen that he accidentally fell down the stairs drunk last night. Liu Yufen, who loved her life like a child, was shocked, and asked Zhao Zhian not to go away at the residence, and left immediately. ten minutes later. "God, An''er, what''s wrong with you? Why is it so serious?" A forty-year-old lady with heavy makeup came in and saw the scar on Zhao Zhian''s face, her face changed, she ran over to look at the wound in panic and asked. "Mom, I''m fine. I said that I accidentally fell down the stairs after drinking alcohol. I went to see it last night and the doctor treated me." Zhao Zhian said quickly. "Mom, look at where you hurt except your face." "Why are there so many injuries? It''s dark here, son, does it hurt?" "Go, go to the hospital again, otherwise Mom won''t worry..." Zhao''s mother Liu Yufen forced Zhao Zhian to go to the hospital for an examination. Zhao Zhian was helpless, got out of the car after half-pushing and half-pushing. In the car, he explained his thoughts to his mother in detail, with a very good attitude. The attitude of knowing mistakes and correcting, made Zhao''s mother distressed but also very pleased. Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhian, who was secretly observing, breathed a sigh of relief. After getting his mother done, even if he meets his father today, he will be more confident. Anyway, he won''t admit it! There are two flowers and one branch each. At one o''clock in the afternoon, many citizens eat dinner and prepare for a nap. But this point was the opening time of the stock market in the afternoon, and some people in the capital field were stimulated by a news. Jiuding Securities Company downgraded its ratings on Huaguang Real Estate and Huaguang Shipping. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., as the target of Heungjiang Capital''s investment field, has always been followed by its peers, and every move will cause a great impact. At this time, the ratings of the two companies were downgraded for no reason, and both of them were Huaguang. Is it really not optimistic, or is there something they don¡¯t know about? This news spread throughout Xiangjiang''s capital market within a short time. But without waiting for them to know the details, the two stocks of Huaguang Real Estate and Huaguang Shipping were sold short on a large scale. In an instant, a large number of stocks sold off, and the short orders of Huaguang Real Estate and Huaguang Shipping exceeded more than one million shares, each worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Such a large number of empty orders were thrown out, and the bad impact was huge, and the stock prices of the two major companies collapsed in an instant. What''s more frightening for some investors is that the source of the stocks being thrown out clearly read Jiuding No. 8 Fund and Jiuding No. 9 Fund. Anyone familiar with the capital market knows that these two funds are self-operated funds under Jiuding Securities. HeungKong''s largest securities company took a clear-cut approach to Huaguang Real Estate and Huaguang Shipping! Young life! Many stock-holding institutions gritted their teeth and immediately decided not to go back to the water if the situation is unknown, and throw the stocks they hold in their hands to follow the trend, and let the funds be recovered first! As for retail investors, let alone, the sell-offs in panic are like clouds. It''s not that no one has never thought about whether Jiuding Securities wants to hit the market first and then buy the stocks of the two companies. But not many people and organizations are willing to gamble. After all, over the past year, Jiuding Securities has always acted irregularly. Sometimes it is bullish on some companies, sometimes bearish on some companies, sometimes it is a real acquisition, and sometimes it is just a profit. In general, many institutions and retail investors that followed the trend made money, but many suffered losses. So no one in the capital field dare to say that they must know what Jiuding Securities wants to do. They either choose to take a gamble or stay out of the matter and bear all the consequences. ... Zhao Shizeng drank some wine at noon, and was sleeping at home at noon at more than one o''clock. The phone in the room suddenly rang and woke him up. "What... I know, I''ll come right now!" Originally he was still a little dazed, but the quick report on the other side of the phone woke him up instantly, and quickly got up and dressed after hanging up the phone. When he got dressed and just about to go out, the door of the villa opened and his wife Liu Yufen and son Zhao Zhian walked in. "Home, big noon, are you going to go out again?" Liu Yufen''s tone was a little dissatisfied, and it seemed that he thought that her husband was going out to be chic, and maybe later ran to the fox''s bed again. "I have to deal with something wrong with the company!" Zhao Shizeng frowned and said concisely He just wanted to leave when he suddenly saw his son Zhao Zhian dare not look at him and wanted to hide behind his wife Liu Yufen. He took a closer look and found that his son''s face was bruised, and he said straightforwardly: "What''s the matter with your face?" "An''er accidentally fell. I took him to the hospital. The doctor said it was a skin injury. After a period of recuperation, there will be no problem. Don''t lose your temper with An''er again." Liu Yufen said immediately, blocking the road where Zhao Shizeng reprimanded Zhao Zhian. "Is that right?" Zhao Shizeng asked Zhao Zhi''an with his eyes like a knife. Facing Lao Tzu''s questioning, Zhao Zhian''s expression was stiff, and he said in a somewhat awkward manner: "Dad, I accidentally fell. I''m sorry to worry you." "what?" This **** actually knows how to admit his mistakes? Zhao Shizeng was surprised. But he has something to do now, and he has no time to educate his son. It just happens that he has a good attitude, so he is too lazy to criticize him. He just said indifferently: "I have grown a lot and drink less in the future." He knows that his son likes to drink wine, and if he could fall down last night, he probably drank too much. "Don''t go out at night, I''ll tell you when I come back!" "Okay, Dad!" Seeing Zhao Shizeng rush into the car and leave, Zhao Zhian looked uncomfortable. Because he noticed the abnormality. He hadn''t seen his father look so hurried during this period of time, obviously what happened in the company was not small. And he happened to offend Xia Yu. His nerves were extremely sensitive at this time. Now that he suddenly discovered that his father was abnormal, he was unavoidably suspicious. Uneasy, he immediately made a call after returning to the room and asked his friend about the situation. The whole person was dumbfounded in an instant. The scared thing actually happened, and it came so fast! What should I do! PS: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! () v3 Chapter 699: Zhaos dilemma "What''s the matter? The Zhao family provoked him?" "It seems that Old Zhao is going to be unlucky..." "Go get the news and see what''s going on..." ... The top tycoons of Xiangjiang are all well-informed people. It took less than ten minutes for the news of Jiuding Securities to hit Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate Co., Ltd., and it gradually entered the ears of those big tycoons. The reactions were mixed, but all were very concerned about the matter. As for meddling? nonexistent! Just watch the show! They are very clear about the gap between the Zhao family and Xia Yu, as well as their own strengths. Now Jiuding Securities has set a posture to make trouble for the Zhao family. They can''t provoke themselves for no reason. As for the stock exchange, it is a headache, but it cannot be stopped. After all, Xiangjiang is different from the mainland, and short selling is legal. Jiuding Securities normally sells stocks. The difference is only the large number, and they have no suitable angle to interfere. Only they know the inner distress. The headquarters of Huaguang Real Estate Company. Zhao Shizeng urgently convened a meeting with the company''s senior management. The first thing was to ask all the staff to self-examine and express their views whether anyone had a conflict with the Jiuding Consortium. Of course there is no result! Then came the analysis of the wisdom of the crowd, what might be the reason! And Zhao Shi had also ordered people to raise funds to ensure the safety of the company''s capital chain. The meeting lasted only 20 minutes. Zhao Shi had assigned someone to inquire about the situation, and then announced the end of the meeting and rushed to the family in a hurry. His father, Zhao Congyan, asked all of their brothers to go home and put together some countermeasures. He came to the company to clarify the situation first in order to get a sense of it. The car was speeding on the road, and Zhao Shizeng rushed to the family in less than ten minutes. As soon as he entered the hall, he knew he was the last one to arrive. His elder brother Zhao Shipeng and his fourth brother Zhao Shiguang had already arrived. As for his second brother? I drowned and burped a few years ago. "Dad! Big brother, fourth brother, sorry for being late!" Zhao Shizeng first apologized, then sat in his seat, looking straight at his gray-haired father Zhao Congyan. Zhao Congyan nodded slightly, then swept across the faces of his three sons with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "You should all be aware of the situation. Now Jiuding Securities is shorting the two pillars of our family with great fanfare. You don''t know what''s going on. ?" "I am not familiar with Xia Yu, but I also know what kind of person he is from other people. He may have no scruples before he became famous, but after entering the top circle, he will not attack our Chinese company for no reason. The action is unprecedented!" The unprecedented in his mouth refers to the actions taken against the companies of the big Chinese family. Zhao Shizeng immediately got up and said: "Dad, I just came from the company. I checked and confirmed that the company has no conflict with Jiuding Securities, nor with the company of Jiuding Consortium. We have not competed with them for land, and the development of real estate is far away from them. There is no reason for the conflict." Zhao Congyan nodded, looked a little slow, and looked at the eldest son and the fourth son. Although he is the chairman of the board of directors of Huaguang Shipping, it is his two sons who are managers who know the company more clearly. "Dad, I can be sure that we have no conflict with the Jiuding Consortium. Instead, Huaguang Shipping has a cooperative relationship with Xia Yu''s Wharf Wharf. The cooperation process has been very stable and very pleasant. There has been no conflict!" The boss Zhao Shipeng said with a calm face and said the truth. Zhao Shiguang also got up and added: "Dad, I have no interaction with Xia Yu, I am sure the company has not had any conflicts with them either!" The three sons said so, Zhao Congyan''s head grew bigger and he couldn''t help frowning. That''s weird! If there is no conflict, Jiuding Securities will never be able to bayonet their Zhao family for no reason. Although their Zhao family is not as strong as Xia Yu, they are also a wealthy family of Hong Kong with a net worth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and there are also networks. With Xia Yu''s IQ, it is impossible to live and die with them! "Since you all said there was no conflict, what could be the reason?" Zhao Congyan said bitterly. "Dad, could it be the conflict between the Heung Kong and Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company? The ferry market is also our family and the Star Ferry Company of the Jiuding Consortium. This is a direct competition!" Zhao Shiguang suddenly thought of something and asked. "I called Lin Ming and asked him. He confirmed that the company has always been doing business on its own routes, and that it does not interfere with the well water of the Star Ferry." Zhao Congyan shook his head and said, denying the fourth son''s guess. "What''s the reason?" All of a sudden, the father and three sons frowned in the hall, trying to find the reason. At this moment, a subordinate came in. He had listened to Zhao Congyan''s order and paid attention to the stock prices of the two companies. Now he came in to report the real-time situation. "Patriarch, the share prices of the two companies have fallen drastically now. The market value of Huaguang Shipping has fallen to 1.12 billion Hong Kong dollars, a drop of 160 million Hong Kong dollars, a drop of 12.5 percent." "The market value of Huaguang Real Estate fell to 830 million Hong Kong dollars, a drop of 0.9 billion yuan, a drop of nearly ten points." "Now the stock prices of the two companies are still falling rapidly!" In less than an hour, the drop was more than ten points, and the two companies shrank by two to five billion, which was regarded as terror. However, considering that Jiuding Securities alone smashed stocks worth tens of millions of dollars, this decline is only natural. "Okay, I see, you keep staring!" "Yes!" After his subordinates left, Zhao Congyan looked at his sons and said in a deep voice: "You have also heard that Jiuding Securities is on a fierce offensive. How we should deal with it, and quickly discuss a proper solution." But effective methods can only be aimed at specific problems Finding the source of the problem is the key. Therefore, the boss Zhao Shipeng frowned and asked: "Dad, do you think it is possible that Xia Yu is eyeing our two companies?" "Brother, but our Zhao family has more than half of the controlling rights in these two companies, even if he wants to grab it, he can''t take it away!" The fourth son Zhao Shiguang questioned. "Fourth brother, I don''t rule out the possibility that the eldest brother said!" "If he is allowed to enter the management systems of the two companies, then it will be possible to force us to retreat at the cost of losing both. We will definitely not be able to consume him!" Zhao Shizeng thought about it and came up with a voice. "This¡­¡­" Zhao Shiguang was at a loss for words, thought for a while and continued. "Then should we invest capital to stabilize the stock price now? To prevent low prices from being hunted down by them!" The boss Zhao Shipeng immediately shook his head and said: "With the current trend, to stabilize the stock price, you need at least several hundred million of funds. The liquidity cannot be moved. In fact, there is not much money. Where can we get so much money?" Zhao Shiguang immediately retorted: "But we can''t let the stock price fall like this. Our inaction will only further confirm the market panic, and the decline will be faster!" "Both of our two companies have borrowed a lot of money from banks, and we have also mortgaged stock loans. If the stock price is not stabilized, the company''s market value will shrink substantially. These banks are definitely not willing! This is another huge hidden danger. !" "Being forced by the bank to fall into a vicious circle, there are many examples of bankruptcy. We can''t always use the company''s working capital to repay the loan. A good company will cause any problems to arise because the capital chain is broken. The trouble is big!" Zhao Shipeng was choked, shook his head and sighed: "Hey..." PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! () v3 Chapter 700: So-called full help Seeing that his sons had a dispute, and the discussion was stagnant, Zhao Congyan knew that he had to make his own decision. "Okay, don''t argue. What you said makes sense. Now we are in a dilemma and can only choose a relatively safe and less costly solution." "The source of this incident is still Xia Yu. We must first figure out why Xia Yu did this, and I will personally meet him." "It doesn''t work for the stock price. The two companies continue to come forward to refute the rumors and build confidence for the public. At the same time, they find newspapers and TV stations to find ways to make them support us, but buy back stocks for now. "You go back and think of ways to raise funds, but don''t expose the funds, and then act by chance." Zhao Congyan ordered, and the three brothers Zhao Shipeng and others nodded. "Time is running out, hurry up and tell me if there is a problem!" After the division of labor was clear, Zhao Congyan drove people out, and Zhao Shipeng and others acted immediately. Zhao Congyan watched his three sons leave, a touch of sadness appeared between his brows. After thinking for a moment, he still decided to find his old friend and rival Bao Yugang. Everyone knows that Xia Yu has a very strong relationship with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong in Xiangjiang, and of the two, he has a better relationship with Bao Yugang. Now Jiuding Securities is targeting the Zhao family, and Zhao Congyan is worried that he will come forward, and Xia Yu may find excuses to avoid him. It would be better for Bao Yugang to come forward, and the efficiency may be higher. It is also a good idea to explore Xia Yu''s attitude. After making up his mind, Zhao Congyan immediately got up and made a call to Bao''s house. The one who answered the call was Bao Yugang''s son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. Half a minute later, Bao Yugang answered the phone and waited for his arrival. When Zhao Congyan got in the car, the butler had already put some gifts on the car. The car started, and Zhao Congyan sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, thinking about how to talk to Bao Yugang later. Bao family mansion. Just after Bao Yu hung up Zhao Congyan''s call, he sat on the sofa and thought. "Dad, Zhao Shengda came to visit you at noon, didn''t he want you to come out as a lobbyist?" After Wu Guangzheng poured a cup of tea for Bao Yu, he asked softly. "should be!" Bao Yugang nodded slightly. Although it happened at about one o''clock noon, at this point they had finished eating and were ready to go to bed. But I can¡¯t help other people know that Bao Yugang also has his own contacts. Huo Yingdong called him specifically before and Bao Yugang understood the situation. Because it is inconvenient to ask Xia Yu, Bao Yugang is still guessing what the reason is. Unexpectedly, after thinking about it, Zhao Congyan''s phone number came, and he came to visit him solemnly. It seems that the last time Zhao Congyan came to visit him at home, was it two years ago or three years ago? Zhao Congyan is still in trouble. If he doesn''t solve the trouble properly, but he comes to him, Bao Yugang can''t think about it! "Then Dad, how are you going to reply to him later?" Wu Guangzheng asked with concern. "Look at what he wants me to do. I can''t hurt my relationship with Xia Yu for him." Bao Yugang said lightly. Not for a while. "Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang. "Come on, Azheng, go open the door!" Bao Yugang was refreshed, and after thinking about it, he didn''t get up, but asked Wu Guangzheng to open the door. Wu Guangzheng nodded and walked quickly to the door, unscrewing the handle, revealing Zhao Congyan''s figure. "Good afternoon Zhao Sheng!" "You are too polite. You brought so many things over here, so please sit inside!" "Hello Wu Sheng!" In a greeting, Wu Guangzheng accepted Zhao Congyan''s gift and welcomed him in. At this time Bao Yugang also got up and walked towards Zhao Congyan. After the two shook hands and greeted each other, they sat down one after another. Wu Guang was hurriedly putting down his things and pouring tea. "Zhao Sheng, we haven''t seen each other for a long time, so I miss it!" Bao Yugang said loudly, his attitude was very enthusiastic. Zhao Congyan said with a faint smile on his face: "You don''t like the hard money from shipping anymore. Now the business is prosperous, we are not in the same industry, and we really see less." "But now, when you look at it, you have a blushing face, and you have a good health regimen. I should ask you more." "Haha, Zhao Sheng, you are still so admirable..." Bao Yugang smiled heartily and sighed, shaking his head. Because the matter was urgent, Zhao Congyan didn''t have much time to waste. After a brief greeting with Bao Yugang, he went to the topic. Seeing his face solemn, he said solemnly: "Bao Sheng, this big noon to disturb your dreams is really compelling. For the sake of our acquaintance for so many years, please give me a hand." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head slightly and held his fist to Bao Yugang, swinging very low. Bao Yugang showed surprise on his face, and quickly reached out and said sincerely: "Zhao Sheng, if you have something to say, I will do my best if I can do it!" Zhao Congyan''s expression was relieved, and he said, "Then I''ll speak straight." "As soon as the stock market opened at noon today, Jiuding Securities suddenly smashed my Zhao family''s Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate. Before I came, both companies had fallen by more than 10%, and their market value had evaporated by two. It is more than 100 million, and it is now estimated to exceed 300 million. "I was shocked when I heard the news. I called the family children to inquire one by one. No one had a conflict with Xia Sheng, and there was no conflict between the company." "Bao Sheng, you know what kind of person I am. If it is indeed my Zhao family who has done something wrong and offended Xia Sheng, I will admit it no matter what." "But now the problem is that I am still confused. I also tried to contact Xia Sheng to see if I could make it clear in person, but I couldn''t contact him.: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Xia Sheng, so I don''t know if I can contact him to see if there is any misunderstanding?" Zhao Congyan was very tactful, but his attitude was very sincere, and Bao Yugang nodded secretly. He took a sip of tea and pondered for a long time before he said in Zhao Congyan¡¯s expectant gaze: "Zhao Sheng, I also know that the enemy should be resolved or not. It stands to reason that with our two decades of friendship, I will try my best to help you through the difficulties. ." "But Xia Yu and I are also friends, so it''s not good to help anyone." "I know, I also understand, don''t make it difficult for you!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Congyan immediately agreed. Bao Yugang nodded, and then said: "But based on what I know about Xia Sheng, don''t look at him like capital operation, but most of it is aimed at British-funded enterprises, and it is hardly messy with Chinese enterprises. There are certain rules and regulations for everything I do, and I never aimlessly. ." "You have checked it again, and there may be omissions, or who has deceived and failed to report, so you must be psychologically prepared." "I''ll help you contact Xia Yu, you can''t get in, and I''m not sure if I can contact him at noon, please wait a moment." "Okay, trouble you!" Zhao Congyan made a please gesture. Just as Bao Yu got up, he went straight to the table and dialed a number. He dialed the number of Xia Yu''s company, not the number of Xia Yu''s home. Although Zhao Congyan came to him for help, it was estimated that Xia Yu was asleep at noon, and it was indeed not good for him to quarrel Xia Yu to sleep. And just as he said and thought, he still believed that Xia Yu would not be messed up. It must be that Zhao Congyan didn''t tell the truth, or he was stunned. Someone in the Zhao family offended Xia Yu in any way. That being the case, he had no choice but to do it, with all his strength in his mouth, to actually make an eighth point. Sure enough, the phone kept beeping, but no one answered. Bao Yugang apologized and said, "Zhao Sheng, please wait a moment, I''ll try another number!" "sorry to bother you!" Bao Yugang dialed another number which belonged to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., after a few beeps, the phone was connected, and it was answered by Wang Qi. "Hello, this is Bao Yugang, is it Wang Sheng?" "Oh, yes, may I ask, is Xia Sheng here?" ... "Something went out? I won''t be back in the evening? Okay, OK... Then do this first, bye!" After hanging up the phone, Bao Yugang apologized and walked back to look at Zhao Congyan. He regretfully said: "Zhao Sheng, I just asked Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities Company. He said that Xia Yu had gone out and he would not be back until evening. ,look?" Zhao Congyan''s eyes were full of regrets, but he still squeezed out a smile and thanked you: "Bao Sheng, thank you, no one can do it without people. He does a lot of business, and things are normal. I can understand." After thinking about it, Zhao Congyan said, "Bao Sheng, I wonder if I can trouble you to ask Xia Sheng for me whether my Zhao family has done something wrong, so that I can understand the death and death." Bao Yugang nodded and said: "No problem, I will continue to contact him in the afternoon, and I will give you a clear answer at the latest tonight, how about?" He also happened to have something wrong, so he went to visit Xia Yu tonight and asked about it by the way. Zhao Congyan quickly said gratefully: "Then I will bear the burden of trouble. I will bother you for my affairs. I will remember this kindness in my heart." "Hey, that''s over, what a big deal, it doesn''t need to be like this!" "What you want..." Now that this is the case, Zhao Congyan also got up and left. Bao Yugang escorted him out of the gate, watched him get into the car with some depression from his back, and watched his car leave. He shook his head and sighed, not knowing what he was sighing. PS: If you don¡¯t ask for a ticket for the recommendation ticket, it is easy to die, ask for a ticket, thank you! () v3 Chapter 701: Unexpected oil company equity Bao Yugang thinks Xia Yu has something, but in fact he really guessed it correctly. The only difference is that the time agreed by Xia Yu and Li Zhaoji is three o''clock in the afternoon. When I woke up, it was already two ten ten. Xia Yu chatted with Elena and Li Qian at home and talked about the equity of BP. The investment company jointly established by the Bright Fund and the Howard family has gained a lot. From the 19% equity of the British government, it has taken a strong 9.5%, just half. The Howard family itself is an important shareholder of a large oil company, so it is relatively ignored for BP, which has no policy aura. Originally, Duke Carter Howard planned to bid for 5% of the equity, even if he took a seat on the board of directors, and there were still some risks. Unexpectedly, together with Xia Yu, the bargaining chip has risen by a big margin. Of course, he did his best to fight for it. This fight was half the battle. Xia Yu didn''t know how George Berkeley negotiated or whether Elena helped. Anyway, the 9.5% of the shares that were jointly auctioned were allocated to the Bright Fund by 4%, and the Howard family retained 5.5% and took a board seat. Xia Yu originally only thought that he could get a 2% stake, but he didn¡¯t expect to double it right now, which made him a little bit long to look at Shu, and some regrets that he didn¡¯t fight for a little more. In one fell swoop entered the BP board of directors. Fortunately, this idea only disappeared in an instant. He also understood that the first step was to get 4% of the equity. As long as you can stand the loneliness, you only need to get 1% in the next auction. At 2:30, Xia Yu left for Li Zhaoji''s company. "Li Sheng, good afternoon!" "Good afternoon, please inside!" At 2:50, he entered Li Zhaoji''s company headquarters, and Xia Yu came to Li Zhaoji''s office by a special person. Seeing that he was working, the two of them sat down one after another after greetings. A beautiful employee came in to make tea, and the tea art is pretty good. "Xia Sheng, please use tea!" "Thank you!" "Li Sheng, congratulations on your booming business, but I know that your real estate in Tsim Sha Tsui was looted!" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said with a smile. Li Zhaoji said with a smile: "It''s not your blessing to see what you are saying. The well-built Harbour City is so well-built, and the flow of people has skyrocketed, driving up the surrounding land prices." "Furthermore, it is me who should be congratulated. Now, who doesn''t know that the **** of stock has a torch, and the Shek Kip Mei to Kwun Tong section was deployed early. As soon as the MTR opened to traffic, the house was sold out." Xia Yu shook his head and smiled, no longer deliberately flattering. This is indeed the case. Many people have already admired him so much, and every time he just laughed without saying a word, and exposed the topic, so as not to go on and talk about it. Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t want to talk about this, Li Zhaoji could stop, and talked about the hottest thing now. "Xia Sheng, I didn''t sleep well at noon. You have to be responsible. I heard that you have a lot of good tea. When will I order it?" His joking words didn''t arouse Xia Yu''s disgust, on the contrary, he couldn''t help but draw the relationship between the two people. "If you don''t tell me, I forgot. Before I came, I was thinking about bringing some tea, and I will make it up next time!" "By the way, you didn''t sleep well at noon. You shouldn''t have thought about buying a bed? Why do you still rely on me? I made an appointment with you in the morning, and it didn''t disturb your dreams at noon!" Xia Yu also joked. "Haha!" Li Zhaoji shook his head and laughed. "It really depends on you. I just wanted to lie down at noon when I learned that you did a great deal. Where can I sleep?" "I guess that few people in Xiangjiang can fall asleep, do you think you have committed a serious crime?" "If you say that, then it seems that I have to confess this sin?" Xia Yu spread his hands, shrugged and said helplessly. "Hahaha..." The chat is almost done, it''s time to talk about business. Li Zhaoji''s face turned straight, he got up and took a document from the drawer and handed it to Xia Yu: "Look at Xia Sheng, this is the certificate of equity of the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company, with a total of 28.7% of the equity." Xia Yu responded, and turned over with both hands. Li Zhaoji drank tea quietly, looking at Xia Yu from time to time, flashes of thinking in his eyes. In the morning, Xia Yu made an appointment with him to meet in the afternoon, and also mentioned the Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company straightforwardly, saying that he would come over to talk with him in the afternoon. Xia Yu, a well-known Xiangjiang acquisition madman, asked him about equity. How could Li Zhaoji know what Xia Yu wanted to do? He went to Yongtai Jianye, another company he controlled, and found the share certificate of Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry. Yongtai Jianye was founded by him in partnership with Hu Baoxing in 1972. At that time, Hu Baoxing was the chairman of the board of directors and he served as the vice chairman. After the company went public in 1973, he made a fortune. Yongtai Jianye also had money to invest in other companies, that is At this time, Hu Baoxing took the lead and partnered with the Zhao family to acquire the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company with a shareholding ratio of 28.7%, making him the second largest shareholder. In 1975, Li Zhaoji was well-capitalized, and he founded Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd., and used a series of operations to make Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. profitable He also wanted to get Henderson Land Development backdoor listed. After joining Yongtai Jianye, a partnership with Hu Baoxing, he became the largest shareholder in a few years. That''s why he was able to take the lead and take out the shares of the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company to trade with Xia Yu. This company is not managed by Yongtai Jianye. At best, it is just the second largest shareholder who is not managed. Since Xia Yu asked, Li Zhaoji had no objection. In the morning, he didn''t care, but thought Xia Yu wanted to unify the ferry market. Unexpectedly, what happened at noon made him realize that it was not that simple, and there must be something nasty between the Zhao family and Xia Yu. But what does it matter to him? Xia Yu begged to come, how could he not give face? Anyway, his relationship with the Zhao family is just so-so, and it is not his faction, even if the Zhao family is destroyed by Xia Yu, it has nothing to do with him. He was just a little curious at most, and by the way, he was a little cautious, to see if he could find some business opportunities to drink soup. Just as Li Zhaoji thought about it, Xia Yu had already read it and confirmed the number of these shares. He put the equity certificate on the table and went straight to the subject and said: "Li Sheng, I want to buy these equity, you make a price!" Li Zhaoji smiled and kicked the ball back to Xia Yu: "I don''t know much about this company. If you didn''t ask me, I would have almost forgotten the equity. You can just give it to you. The price is right and the price is right. ." "Row!" Seeing that Li Zhaoji was so simple, Xia Yu responded with a smile. He thought for a while, and solemnly said: "Heung Kong and Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company is not listed. For it, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has evaluated it and believes it is worth 80 million Hong Kong dollars." "This is 28.7% of the equity. I have a premium of two tiers, and then round it up to 28 million Hong Kong dollars. What do you think?" PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! () v3 Chapter 702: Kingly and domineering Li Zhaoji had a strong mental arithmetic, and instantly settled an account in his mind. He didn''t really understand as he said, his subordinates had already told him the approximate value of the company, and Xia Yu''s valuation of 80 million Hong Kong dollars was similar. 28 million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to a premium of about 22 points, which is within the normal range of acquisition premium. No matter how much it is fighting, it is a matter of hundreds of thousands. Given his and Xia Yu''s worth, it is impossible to fight. Besides, before Xia Yu took the lead in hunting the Yihe consortium, he was also exposed to Xia Yu''s light. So he simply said: "The price is fair, just as you say!" "simply!" "I didn''t bring anyone here this time, so when is the right time to sign the contract?" Xia Yu exclaimed and asked again. "It''s better to hit the sun instead of choosing a day. Let''s do it now. This is my company. Where can you trouble me? I''ll ask someone to draw up a contract. Let''s have tea and chat." Li Zhaoji waved his hand and said, and then called a subordinate, gave him an order, and the subordinate immediately went out to draft a contract. When things were settled, the two began to talk and laugh again. Talking and laughing, the topic also brought to the Zhao family. Li Zhaoji looked curious, and asked, "Xia Sheng, can I take the liberty to ask?" Xia Yu knew what Li Zhaoji wanted to ask, and he just needed to spread the reason to occupy the moral high ground, so he smiled and nodded: "Of course it''s okay. You want to ask me why I targeted the Zhao family?" Li Zhaoji didn''t expect Xia Yu to take the initiative to speak out, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately nodded: "Yes." "In fact, there are some reasons that are not on the table." Xia Yu thought for a while and said something first. Later, as Li Zhaoji listened, Xia Yu continued to tell with a cold face: "A friend of mine came to me, the daughter of the Duke of England, who happened to take my girlfriend to play with her last night, and was almost offended by Zhao¡¯s dude. Now, if I didn¡¯t show up in time, both my friend and my girlfriend could have trouble." Hearing this, Li Zhaoji looked serious. Women are men¡¯s forbidden corruption. When Xia Yu¡¯s women are involved, things are no small matter. So Xia Yu laughed at himself and said: "And since I was a kid, I wanted to beat me a lot, but there is no one who wants to be my old man. The taste of being pointed at the nose is a bit special." "I also know what is going on with the children of the big family, so I gave him a chance, but unfortunately he cherishes what he doesn''t understand." "If I didn''t react, I would really be a scumbag. I don''t seem to be confessing to my friend, nor to her father." "The Grand Duke of England, Li Sheng, you also know what status and strength it is." Li Zhaoji nodded, and said angrily with the same enemy: "Xia Sheng, it''s me, the reaction is no less than you." "The son doesn''t teach, the father''s fault, the Zhao family deserves it! I support you in seeking justice!" With that said, Li Zhaoji also gave the Zhao family a cross in his heart. The son of Zhao Jiawan wanted to assault Xia Yu''s woman, and he cursed at Xia Yu, almost causing the Duke''s daughter to have an accident. There was an accident with the Duke¡¯s daughter, so don¡¯t think Xia Yu must bear the consequences. Don''t forget that Hong Kong is still under the rule of the British, a British duke, who has an absolutely deep relationship with the British royal family and the government, and his right to speak far exceeds that of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose. If the British government pressured Hong Kong Governor MacLehose to suppress Xia Yu, MacLehose would definitely do it, and Xia Yu would face huge troubles. Each of these reasons is unforgivable, let alone three superimposed together. As for what was happening at the time and what was the cause, Li Zhaoji directly ignored it. For adults, these are not important, what is important is what happened. All in all, hearing Xia Yu''s words, Li Zhaoji knew that Xia Yu was completely rational, and no one was qualified to gossip. Moreover, the Zhao family''s strength is not as good as Xia Yu, and Xia Yu deserves it. Li Zhaoji is also very clear that if Zhao Congyan and others know the reason later, they will definitely vomit blood, but this is the consequence of losing control of their offspring and they must bear it. At this moment, he has made up his mind to go back and use this case to educate his children and strengthen discipline, so as not to get into trouble like the dudes of the Zhao family. He could settle even if he caused a small trouble, and he was aggrieved at that time because he was afraid of causing a big trouble that he could not handle. Knowing the reason, Li Zhaoji also changed the subject wittily and talked about other business matters. Xia Yu also spoke naturally. Soon, the subordinate came in again, and the contract was drawn up. After Xia Yu read it, he confirmed it was correct and signed it directly. Li Zhaoji gave all the materials to Xia Yu. "Li Sheng, I will let people transfer the money to your company''s account when I go." "It doesn''t matter if you are late, you are the God of Wealth, so I am afraid you will not run away?" Li Zhaoji and Xia Yu shook hands and said with a smile. "I want to run, haha!" Xia Yu joked. Li Zhaoji also laughed. "Li Sheng, I have something to do, so I will leave first. I have a chance to get together next time!" "Okay, on call!" "Bye!" Li Zhaoji put Xia Yu in the car and watched him leave. "The Zhao family? Who would have thought that Zhao Congyan, Yingming I, would have stumbled on this issue?" "The son does not teach, the father''s fault..." Li Zhaoji shook his head again and sighed, then returned to the company. In the car, Xia Yu looked at the file bag in his hand, recalling what he had just talked to Li Zhaoji, the corner of his mouth could not help but bend. The equity was acquired, and the reason was spread through Li Zhaoji''s mouth, and the two projects planned before were achieved. In fact, based on Xia Yu''s strength, without any explanation, he arrogantly killed the Zhao family. I believe no one on Hong Kong Island would dare to say anything. But there will be a lot of talks about him secretly, which will have great disadvantages. Originally he was in charge of the matter, because the details were not handled properly. In the end, the big Chinese family in Hong Kong was on pins and needles and boycotted him, which would definitely cause him trouble. And these troubles that would threaten his foundation could have been avoided, but at best it would only take a while. In short, the road to commercial hegemony ~ www.novelhall.com ~ requires both kingly and domineering, whichever method is most beneficial to him, whichever is used. Great wise man, choose the situation! However, it is said that when Xia Yu and Zhao Congyan were running on their own, things in the stock market became more and more troublesome, and many investors became gossiping, and even brought many citizens who did not stock up to join in the fun. The news finally reached the ears of another party who had happened last night. Guo Jianglin, who was still uncertain, started to start at home and rushed to the exchange in a hurry. He looked at the information on the trading board and listened to the discussions of the surrounding stockholders. He felt that the sky was about to fall. "It''s over, the revenge comes so fast!" "The two companies of the Zhao family have lost more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. How much does it cost? It is enough to bury me in paper money!" "The Zhao family can''t stand it, if the stock **** still remembers me, what should I do!" "Death!" Guo Jianglin, a man in his thirties, was full of sadness at this time, and his mouth was muttering, completely resenting his wife. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt. Subconsciously, he wanted to go out for shelter. "Small life matters. Let''s run first. Stay away from him for a year and a half. The big guys have everything to do. After such a long time, the stock **** will definitely be a fart. If there is no problem, I will come back. , If there is anything else, I will simply not emigrate back." "Now the stock **** is busy dealing with the Zhao family, shouldn''t he think of me yet?" Thinking of this, Guo Jianglin panicked, leaving the exchange like burning his **** and rushing home. It''s a pity that he guessed part of it correctly, and Xia Yu really didn''t have the intention to deal with him temporarily. At Xia Yu''s height, he really didn''t bother to waste time on him. But it does not mean that others are not watching him! ps: Don''t forget to vote for the big guys! () v3 Chapter 703: Painful price "Is that this?" Xia Lei was wearing a black windbreaker, a pair of sunglasses, a dome hat on his head, hands in his pockets, and asked a middle-aged man with a donkey face who nodded and bowed. This look of Xia Lei, Xia Yu will definitely feel familiar with it. It is a classic look in "Shanghai Beach". Not to mention, you can see a lot of this look in Xiangjiang, especially the big guys in the community, many of whom have a soft spot for this look. The impact of "Shanghai Beach" previously broadcast by Universal Television is really amazing. As a result, Zhou Runfa became a first-line celebrity. The global agency gave him an S-level contract and became one of the company''s pillars. He is also in the same position as Zhang Weirong in the music field and is the two most popular male stars in the world. According to the original historical trajectory, the filming of "Shanghai Beach" has already started at this time, but the broadcast will have to wait until 1980. However, because of Xia Yu''s interference, Zhao Zhenqiang was dug over by Universal Television early, and with the presence of a screenwriter, "Shanghai Beach" was born early, and the plot is even more exciting than the previous life. "Boss, it''s here!" The middle-aged man with a donkey face nodded and said immediately. "Knock me!" Xia Lei''s expression was cold and ordered. "Yes!" Several subordinates responded, knocking on the door immediately, making a banging sound, and everyone living around them poked their heads out. When they saw Xia Lei and the others, they immediately retracted their heads in fright. It must be Guo Jianglin who provokes the people of the club. Now that revenge is coming, it is better to watch less so as not to cause trouble to the upper body. "Boss, I shouldn''t be at home." After knocking for a while, no one opened the door. The subordinate stopped knocking and reported. Xia Lei frowned and asked the middle-aged donkey face: "Are you sure this is Guo Jianglin''s home? Did you see him at home?" The middle-aged donkey''s face turned pale, his heart trembled, and he quickly defended and said, "Big brother, I dare not lie to you for giving me a hundred courage. This is Guo Jianglin''s home. I saw him at home before I left. Who Knowing that I''m not here now, I guess I just went out..." "Forgive you for not having the guts!" Xia Lei said coldly, and ordered to him: "Ask the next door, Guo Jianglin''s movements." "Yes Yes!" The middle-aged donkey face nodded repeatedly, then straightened his waist to the side and knocked **** the door. "Boom boom!" "come out!" This fox''s pretending posture is decent. "I''m coming!" "Boss, what can I do with you?" There was a panicked voice in the house, and then the door opened, and a middle-aged man with an honest face leaned out half of his body, not daring to look around, lowered himself and asked the middle-aged donkey face. "Is Guo Jianglin living next door?" The middle-aged donkey face asked loudly, suspected of deliberately letting Xia Lei hear. "It''s him, I heard that there is still a bar in Central!" "That''s right!" "Where did he go?" "He went out half an hour ago, and I don''t know when he will come back." "Do you know anything else?" "I don''t know, I don''t know." The honest man shook his head quickly and said. "That''s all right, it''s all right for you!" "Thank you boss!" After speaking, the honest man closed the door and panted with his heart in the house. "Boss, look?" The middle-aged donkey face asked Xia Lei cautiously. "Lead the way, go to his bar!" "Ding Zi, Rogue Hui, Big Head, the three of you are guarding around here. If Guo Jianglin comes back, stop him and let me know." After speaking, Xia Lei let the middle-aged donkey face lead the way, and the car started to go to Xiangjiang Central. The three remaining people discussed it, spread out, and hid them all around. In the car, the middle-aged donkey face looked at Xia Lei with his eyes closed and rested through the rearview mirror in the car. He was nervous and prayed to Guo Jianglin not to run away. At the same time, he regretted that he had been eager to inform the Tigers. In fact, he was one of Guo Jianglin''s subordinates, and he also knew that Xia Yu was offended by Guo Jianglin. The middle-aged donkey''s face was also tickled when he heard that his colleagues were afraid of being retaliated and were about to resign, and some even planned to sell Guo Jianglin. Because he was from the village next to Xia Yu''s hometown, he happened to know the relationship between Xia Lei, the tycoon of the Tiger Club, and the stock **** Xia Yu. In order to have a future for himself, he mustered up the courage to go to the Tiger Club site and said that he wanted to see Xia Lei. Sure enough, he saw it, and what he said attracted Xia Lei''s attention and even handled it himself. This not only made the donkey face excited for the middle-aged, but also made him anxious. If you do it well, you will get rewards. If you don''t do it well, you may be unlucky. He can only pray that he will be lucky and meet Guo Jianglin today. "Boss, this bar is closed after the accident last night." Before long, the car stopped in front of the "Norwegian Forest" bar, and the middle-aged donkey face introduced Xia Lei. By coincidence, Guo Jianglin, who came out of the stock market, wanted to go home, but suddenly changed his attention on the way, planning to go back to the bar to get the money stored in his safe. As soon as Xia Lei and the others arrived, the taxi he took came on the back. The donkey face was middle-aged with sharp eyes, and he immediately saw Guo Jianglin. He was immediately surprised and said to Xia Lei: "Big brother, that''s Guo Jianglin." Xia Lei''s spirit was shocked, and he looked at the middle-aged donkey''s face, with a smile on his face. "No hurry, wait until he opens the door, and then control him after entering." Guo Jianglin, who was thinking about running away with his family property earlier, did not pay attention to the two cars parked on the side of the road. When he opened the door and just entered the bar, he heard rapid footsteps coming from behind. Before he could react, he felt a sore hand. He was grabbed with his backhand, pushed to the wall, and his head was held down. "Big guy is forgiving, big guy is forgiving." After Guo Jianglin recovered, he begged for mercy, his legs were shaking. "Close the door! Turn on the light!" "Yes!" The subordinates close the door and turn on the lights. Xia Lei Dama Jindao sat on the sofa, and Guo Jianglin was taken to him. Of course, Guo Jianglin didn¡¯t know Xia Lei, but when he saw the middle-aged donkey face next to Xia Lei, he instantly reacted, his eyes widened and his heart was very angry, but he didn¡¯t dare to show it and he could only breathe quickly. . The middle-aged donkey face squinted and dared not look at Guo Jianglin. "Guo Jianglin, right? I have something to ask you. You answer truthfully. If you let me know that you lied, hehe, guess the consequences for yourself!" Xia Lei stared at him like a knife, and said lightly. Guo Jianglin nodded repeatedly and said, "Big brother, you ask, if I dare to lie to you, I will definitely not die." A joke, the middle-aged donkey face is next to him, where he doesn''t know that he was sold, where he has the courage to tell lies. "Tell me about what happened last night." "Okay, it was like this last night..." Although what Guo Jianglin told was facts, he had a strong desire to survive. In his statement, he constantly stated that he did not know the identity of Xia Yu. He was coerced by Zhao Zhian. At first, he just wanted to persuade him, and then he had to conflict. Barabara... Xia Lei was expressionless throughout, turning a blind eye to the expression on the middle-aged donkey''s face that hesitated to speak. "Big brother, that''s it. I really don''t know it. The stock **** is my idol. If I knew it was him, I wouldn''t dare to do it even after eating the bear heart and leopard." After the narration, Guo Jianglin quickly added. Xia Lei expressionlessly asked, "I don''t care what the reason is, I only know that you are indeed an accomplice, right?" Guo Jianglin opened his mouth, swallowed a few saliva, and nodded hard and said: "Big brother, I can guarantee that my people did not harm the **** of stock and his woman." Xia Lei snorted coldly: "You should be glad you didn''t hurt! Otherwise, I''ll be here to talk nonsense with you?" Guo Jianglin was taken aback and nodded repeatedly. Although he has a few subordinates, he is not a messenger, at best, he is a little boss with a little bit of strength. When encountering a real big guy like Xia Lei, he couldn''t persuade him anymore. "Let''s talk, what are you going to do? Are you planning to run away?" Xia Lei leaned on the back of the chair, folded his hands on his chest, looked down at him and asked. Guo Jianglin was taken aback, and quickly denied: "Don''t dare, I''m planning to go to the stock god''s company to make amends to him." "Ah!" "Then what are you going to pay?" At this moment, Guo Jianglin¡¯s desire to survive was stronger than ever, and his head became extremely agile. He immediately said: ¡°Big brother, I only have this bar and a house, and I¡¯m willing to take it out. This is all my wealth. I beg the boss to let me fart." "laugh!" "Just this little thing about you, I want people to look at it!" Xia Lei sneered. Guo Jianglin was ridiculed in his heart, but he dared not show it. He licked his face and demeaned himself, begging Xia Lei to raise his hand. For people like him who cherish their lives, no money is important to them. "Is he telling the truth?" Xia Lei asked the middle-aged donkey face. The middle-aged donkey face immediately nodded and said: "Big man, as far as I know, he has all these things except deposits." Guo Jianglin''s eyes flushed instantly, and he rushed in front of Xia Lei and said: "Big brother, what I meant just now was to take out the deposit together. That''s all my wealth." Xia Lei glanced at him, then sneered and ordered: "I don''t think you can take out anything, but first take out what you said. As for him, he can''t read it. Then, under the guard of Xia Lei and others, Guo Jianglin honestly took out the equity certificate of the "Norwegian Forest" bar , the purchase contract and the deed of the current house, and some cash from bank cards . After asking people to hold these things, Xia Lei ordered Guo Jianglin to be watched and took the others away. After Xia Lei and the others left, Guo Jianglin, who was under control, looked at the two guarding him, both heartbroken and remorseful, and at the same time itchy with hatred for Zhao Zhian. "Unlucky!" "Damn white-eyed wolf, Zhao Zhian who killed a thousand swords..." Guo Jianglin wailed in his heart. At four o''clock in the afternoon, the stock market was watched. At four ten ten, the closing bidding stage officially ended. In the eyes of the public, the market value of Huaguang Shipping Company is fixed at 960 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a drop of 320 million Hong Kong dollars from the market value of 1.28 billion at the opening of the afternoon, a 25% drop. . The market value of Huaguang Real Estate Co., Ltd. was 750 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a decrease of 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars from the market value of 920 million at the opening, a drop of 18.5. The two companies have evaporated a total of 490 million Hong Kong dollars in market value, which is shocking. The Zhao family holds 51.5% of the shares in Huaguang Shipping and 53.8% in Huaguang Real Estate, and bears the bulk of the losses of the two companies. The family assets have evaporated more than 250 million and suffered heavy losses. Of course, it was the other shareholders and investors of these two companies who were more aggrieved than the Zhao family. They were completely miserable. They watched the stock price crash with a bewildered expression and leaked like a mountain torrent. After the stock market closed, these people breathed a sigh of relief, but they also prayed that the Zhao family would do their best to solve the problem perfectly before the opening of the market tomorrow morning. Otherwise, with the terrifying number of unaccepted sell orders at the close of this afternoon, the stock price will definitely plunge as soon as the market opens tomorrow. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people! PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! () v3 Chapter 704: Hutchison Whampoas progress The stock market has closed. But Jiuding Securities is still busy. After Xia Yu returned to the company, Wang Qi immediately greeted him and took the file bag in his hand. "This is Yongtai Jianye''s 28.7% of the shares of Heungjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company. You temporarily put it away!" "Ok!" The two said as they walked. "How is your situation here? Are there any results?" Xia Yu asked. Wang Qi said immediately: ¡°Chairman, five acquisition teams, three of them have achieved results, and they have acquired a total of 12.4% of the shares of Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company.¡± "Fast speed, great job!" Xia Yu smiled and praised. "The main reason is that these small shareholders are very happy about our door-to-door acquisition of equity, and they have promised to be tight-lipped at our request. I believe they dare not cause us trouble!" "The latter two groups should be fast too!" Wang Qi explained with a smile. As the two talked, they had already entered the office. Xia Yu motioned to Wang Qi to sit down: "Sit down and talk!" "Thank you, Chairman!" The staff waiting outside immediately came in to make tea. Xia Yu thought for a while and continued to ask: "You went to Shen Bi this afternoon, what did he say?" Jiuding Securities Company is full of talents, and the two things of acquiring Hutchison Whampoa and teaching Zhao''s family do not conflict. According to the plan, the five groups of members went to acquire the equity of the listed shareholders of the five Heungjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company. Xia Yu went to Li Zhaoji to take the big head, while Wang Qi went to HSBC to talk to Shen Bi about Hutchison Whampoa. Wang Qi said apologetically, "Chairman, I¡¯m sorry. I talked to Shen Bi for nearly an hour. He still didn¡¯t agree. He just said that he had to think about it. But under my follow-up question, he explained that he would give me one tomorrow. Clear answer." After speaking, Wang Qi paused for a few seconds, and simply described the details of the negotiations with Shen Bi at HSBC in the afternoon. Xia Yu listened quietly, drinking tea from time to time. Shen Bi didn''t agree in the first time, and it was in Xia Yu''s expectation. Although HSBC is said to be the No. 1 British-funded enterprise, its relationship with other British-funded consortia of Heung Kong is very complicated, with both cooperation and competition, but in the final analysis, Shen Bi only focuses on interests. If it can create benefits for HSBC, he will do it even if Hutchison Whampoa is sold. This was the case for Shen Bi in his previous life, selling many shares of British-owned companies to Chinese tycoons. Now Hutchison Whampoa is terribly scumbag, even if it is controlled by Wei Li, he can still only control the decline, but it is still far away to get out of the quagmire again. After all, Hutchison Whampoa succeeded because of Qi Dezun, and it failed because of Qi Dezun. Without Qi Dezun¡¯s series of crazy actions to grab and annex, Hutchison International would not have gone from a company with more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in assets and more than 30 subsidiaries to a Hong Kong British-owned company that controls more than 200 companies. Big consortium. But it was precisely because of his crazy mergers and acquisitions that he failed to digest the acquired companies reasonably, which led to the overall loss of Hutchison Whampoa. It is undeniable that many of the more than 200 companies in Hutchison Whampoa have developed well. For example, the real estate sector has developed well, but there are more loss-making companies and the profits are not enough to stop the hole. Rao is HSBC intolerable. After the collision with Qi Dezun, Werry, who has become more powerful in business operations, was also overwhelmed by more than two hundred companies and could barely maintain the status quo. Of course, if you change to someone else, you may not be able to achieve Werry''s level, and you might even bankrupt Hutchison Whampoa. . Many people in Xiangjiang see the situation of Hutchison Whampoa in their eyes, and Xia Yu is also very clear. In his opinion, Hutchison Whampoa has only two ways to get out of the quagmire. The first is to find a man who is stronger than Werry at the level of the **** of management, and give him enough rights to reform, and take Hutchison Whampoa out of a way to survive. The second is that Hutchison Whampoa can only be internally integrated and split, merge the same industry chain or companies of the same quality, and split the bad assets that are seriously hindering. But the people mentioned in the former are difficult to find, and the top elites are few and far between. How many British executives can Xiangjiang surpass Werry? As for the Chinese? It is absolutely impossible to go to this position! It would take a long time to change to someone with better ability than Wei Li, who is not familiar with Hutchison Whampoa. The separation of non-performing assets mentioned by the latter is also difficult to achieve, and if this is done, it will make it clear that Qi Dezun¡¯s previous hard work to annex assets was wrong, and Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s total assets will continue to follow the spin-off. decline. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, Hutchison Whampoa''s status will not be guaranteed at that time, and it will bring a series of adverse chain reactions. Therefore, the current Hutchison Whampoa is in a dilemma, very embarrassing. Why did Shen Bi sell about two-thirds of his equity to Li Jiacheng at a low price? It was not because he recognized Li Jiacheng''s business ability and believed that Hutchison Whampoa would do better in Li Jiacheng''s hands. In this way, HSBC can not only sell the equity to recover some of the losses in advance, but also can expect Li Jiacheng to bring Hutchison Whampoa to increase the remaining equity. After Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he continued to split and reorganize, strengthened cooperation with major Chinese companies, and finally stepped out of the quagmire. In this regard, Xia Yu believes that he can do better than Li Jiacheng, and his Jiuding Consortium is also capable of turning the bad assets in Hutchison Whampoa into treasure. "Since Shen Bi said so, go find him tomorrow." "Have you asked him to keep it secret?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he suddenly asked again that he didn''t want to get out of the basket halfway. Wang Qi nodded: "I mentioned this request to him, and he clearly promised not to notify Qi Dezun. As for whether he can do it, this is..." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Since he said he won''t notify, he should be able to do it. If he is not stupid, he should be able to guess that we have been preparing for a long time. He can''t offend us for a Qi Dezun who can''t afford it." "Yes!" Wang Qi smiled and nodded in agreement with Xia Yu''s point of view. Then, Xia Yu chatted with Wang Qi for a while about work, and saw that it was five o''clock, and planned to leave. He first went to Master Li Chunqiu''s place and followed up with the construction of Chunqiu Hospital and Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine The progress was quite rapid, and the father was very satisfied. After that, he took a look at Tai Chi Pharmaceutical and Yangshengtang. With Xia Yu''s strong financial support, brother Wang Haoyun has bought all the scientific research equipment he needs. Although the formal laboratory has not yet been completed, he has already brought a group of recruited scientific researchers in the field of medicine to research formulas. Not to mention Yangshengtang. Under the banner of the Jiuding Consortium, many medicinal material merchants are willing to sell common herbs and precious medicinal materials to Yangshengtang. The supply is temporarily guaranteed and sufficient for the early store operations. However, both Zhang Gufeng, general manager of Taiji Pharmaceutical, and Wang Bowen, general manager of Yangshengtang, both put forward suggestions to speed up the completion of Chinese herbal medicine planting bases. And when Xia Yu was about to leave, Li Chunqiu suddenly made a request to Xia Yu, that is, next time he went to the mainland, could he be taken with him? He wanted to go back to Wudang Mountain to see. Seeing the sad and nostalgic expression on Master''s face, Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and promised on the spot that he would go there in early December to prepare Master. Li Chunqiu smiled immediately. Fortunately, it has been more than a year since the last time I went to the mainland, and it is time to look at the situation of career development there. Furthermore, last time Xia Yu asked Xinhua News Agency to spread the news that he wanted to select a site to build a Chinese herbal medicine planting base on the mainland, the mainland gave a clear answer and agreed, and has sent people to screen some for Xia Yu. After so long, I believe there have been many results. It happened that Zhang Gufeng and Wang Bowen mentioned this matter and dealt with them together! After working on these things, it was already half past six in the evening, presumably Li Qian and Elena were already in a hurry at home. Xia Yu stopped staying and drove straight home. PS: I wish all brothers and sisters family reunion and happiness! () v3 Chapter 705: The wet godfather? "Click!" "A Yu, you are back!" The door suddenly opened, and Li Qian, who had just made a meal and was chatting with Elena in the living room, looked out the door reflexively, just when Xia Yu came in, she got up and shouted joyfully. Elena also got up and looked at Xia Yu with a smile. "Sorry, I''m late!" "It''s not too late, the dishes were just made two minutes ago, and it''s time for you to come back!" "What dishes shall I look at? Wow..." Between talking and laughing, the three of them went to the table and began to enjoy dinner. After eating, Xia Yu turned on the TV. At this time, Global Satellite TV was broadcasting "News 30 Minutes", reporting on Huaguang Real Estate and Huaguang Shipping. Xia Yu couldn''t help but raise his mouth. Global Satellite TV''s report is fair and did not deliberately criticize the two companies, but normal reports alone are enough to cause fatal harm to the two companies. With Global Satellite TV¡¯s ratings coverage, many citizens who did not know the news also learned the news, which will further increase market panic. After a night of fermentation, this panic will be fed back to the stock price after the market opens tomorrow. Just then, the doorbell rang. "Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" Xia Yu saw that Li Qian was about to get up, so he stopped her, and said, "It may be that Baosheng is coming. I''ll open the door!" Bao Yugang contacted him in the afternoon and said that he planned to visit him in the evening. At this time, Xia Yu thought it was Bao Yugang. Just looking through the cat''s eyes, Xia Yu was a little surprised. The visitor outside the door was not Bao Yugang, but his good brother Xia Lei. Xia Yu was overjoyed and opened the door: "A Lei, why are you here? Come in!" "Haha, Ayu, have you finished eating?" Xia Lei shouted in his loud voice. "Just finished eating, did you eat?" Xia Yu said that he took the fruit in his hand, and some accidentally discovered that he also brought a briefcase. But Xia Lei didn''t give it to him, and he didn''t ask. Xia Lei will say it later. "How are you two sisters-in-law!" Walking to the living room, Xia Lei saw the two women, bowed slightly, and yelled politely to Li Qian and Elena who got up. When Xia Lei called her sister-in-law, two blushes appeared on Li Qian''s face. She quickly said to Xia Lei, "Hello, please sit down!" For Xia Lei, Li Qian had never been in contact with him, but she also knew that he was Xia Yu''s brother. Xia Lei''s name made her both shy and happy, but she was a little strange in her heart when he called Elena''s sister-in-law. Xia Yu was also dumbfounded by Xia Lei''s sudden hand, and instantly looked at Elena. It''s just that Elena didn''t understand, she just smiled and said "". After sitting down, Elena realized that Li Qian and Xia Yu''s expressions were a little strange, and she asked in Li Qian''s ear softly. Li Qian thought for a while and explained Xia Lei''s meaning truthfully, Elena''s white face turned pink in a flash, and Li Qian laughed at her grinningly. Elena is in a mixed mood. They also realized that Xia Yu and Xia Lei were about to talk about things, so they told Xia Yu and got up and left. Xia Yu and Xia Lei were left in the living room immediately. Glancing at the location of the stairs where the two women disappeared, Xia Lei winked at Xia Yu and smiled: "Ayu, awesome!" Xia Yu said angrily: "She is my friend, so I called my sister-in-law if I didn''t figure it out. People are embarrassed." Xia Lei didn''t feel embarrassed, and said nonchalantly, "Aren''t they all the same, it''s always right to shout in advance!" "I can''t say that my sister-in-law has speeded up the progress." Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry, and after thinking about it, he didn''t bother to correct him. It''s just that he didn''t have this idea in his heart. He changed the subject and cared about Xia Lei''s current situation. "A Lei, how is your power situation? Have you encountered any major problems during this period?" Xia Lei smiled and shook his head and said, "Small troubles are definitely there, but big troubles are not there yet. When the power was expanded, I had to fight with a power. Finally, I asked Marco, and he arranged for someone to secretly kill the bosses. , The enemy disintegrated instantly and was easily annexed by me." "Now in the Kowloon City District, we are the most powerful. Both Yau Tsim Mong District and Kwun Tong District have halls. Excluding regular staff from the company, we now have more than 2,300 employees." Xia Yu was a little surprised and exclaimed: "Yes, there are more than 2,300 people. The number of people is barely squeezed into the first-class level. However, your development time is too short and the people you recruit are not loyal enough. You have to pay more attention." Each of the three top forces in Xiangjiang had more than seven to eighty thousand members, with more than one hundred thousand. Xia Lei had only over two thousand people. It was indeed incomparable to them, but at any rate it was considered powerful. Considering that the three parties have a large number of insiders, many of them respect the same leader on the bright side, but in fact they all have their own ideas and fight separately. Therefore, Xia Lei''s power is not small. Xia Lei nodded clearly: "I have been paying attention. We have no shortage of funds, and the momentum has always been good. If I hadn''t controlled it, I could develop with four thousand people, and I wouldn''t have only more than two thousand people now." "In addition, a set of management and operation system has been designed before, which is very rigorous and strengthens the centralization of power, so the possibility of trouble is unlikely." Hearing what he said, Xia Yu was relieved and said with concern: "That''s good, but you should pay attention to it. You must bring enough bodyguards when you go out and walk the rivers and lakes. Sometimes a loophole can be fatal." Xia Lei laughed and said, "Don''t worry A Yu, I haven''t helped you much, I can''t die so fast!" "I''m coming tonight. There are more than a dozen people on the mountain outside, plus this is your site with many security guards. What can happen?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "That''s good!" He asked again: "How is the career development on Baidao?" Speaking of this, Xia Lei came to the spirit. He said one to one: "Compared with the last time you asked me, it is much better. The scale of restaurants and entertainment venues has been expanded. "Leopard" magazine sales are also very hot." "Especially now that the film company has made a lot of salty and wet movies. This is too profitable. A director has several assistants, and then I find a few beautiful girls. A room is collapsed. The cost is very low. The filming is fast. This money is faster than opening a gambling stall, and the risk is lower." Seeing Xia Lei enthusiastically talking about making a third-level movie, Xia Yu was speechless. At the same time, he couldn''t help but think that Xia Lei would not go on the "crooked road". Twenty years later, he would come up with the name "Godfather of Xianshi Tablets". However, what Xia Lei said is quite right. The industry does make money, but considering the current and future environment of Xiangjiang, the market for salty wet tablets is destined to be difficult. Hey, it is impossible to let Xia Lei''s film company develop in an island country. That piece of soil is suitable for his company''s growth. Thinking that the island country will develop it into a pillar industry in the future, the output value of exports alone will exceed tens of billions of dollars a year. Considering its cost, it is basically how much money is exported and how much profit is. In addition, the island nation is a legal red light district, and its annual economic benefits can reach more than 60 billion U.S. dollars. Such a huge market is indeed worth joining, but as Xia Yu, it is not easy to intervene. But as Xia Lei, it was still very suitable. Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Xia Lei: "A Lei If your company makes a good film, don''t force it, it will be troublesome if you get a human life." "Seeing you making money like this, other people on the road will definitely join in. I suggest that you can order your subordinates to set up a company in the island country. The market there is huge. Use islanders to make island movies and earn money from islanders. Good way out." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Xia Lei''s eyes brightened. He was convinced of Xia Yu''s business vision. He was able to have such a large career now, all under Xia Yu''s guidance. And as Xia Yu said, seeing his film company making so much money and the low barriers to entry, many societies have already stepped in to set up film companies, specializing in making salty and wet films, which caused a certain threat and influence on him. He hadn''t learned about the island country''s market before, but now that Xia Yu said so, he has decided to go back and let someone investigate it, and then follow Xia Yu''s instructions. "A Yu, I''ll listen to you, and let people execute it when I go back." "By the way, Ayu, your game console is really hot. The game hall is full every day. I placed another order, plus the previous one, and bought 600 game consoles from you." Five kinds of arcade machines, the price ranges from US$2,300 to US$2,500. Taking the average price of US$2,400, these 600 arcade machines also cost US$1.44 million. More than one million six hundred thousand, made a lot of business for Xia Yu. "Business is good, but you must pay more attention to fire prevention and avoid accidents that cause casualties and are very troublesome." "I remember." "Are, what else do you want to tell me?" With that, Xia Yu looked at Xia Lei''s briefcase. PS: I¡¯m not Wang Xin, so I can¡¯t accept members. How about getting a ticket for Xianshi tablets? () v3 Chapter 706: Even when you die! Xia Lei put down the tea cup and handed the briefcase to Xia Yu: "Let''s take a look first, these things are for you." Xia Yu was a little curious, opened the briefcase and found that besides a stack of documents, there were several bank cards inside. Xia Yu frowned slightly, not understanding what Xia Lei was doing. As for the bank card, he just glanced at it without looking at it, and took out the file. It turned out to be a house deed and contract, a store and a house. He didn''t care about the housing, but the store was actually located at No. 17, Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong Island, with an area of ??more than 500 square meters. In addition, there is a business license with "Norwegian Forest Bar" written on it. Seeing this, Xia Yu raised his brows, cast his eyes on Xia Lei, and asked: "A Lei, where did you come from?" Xia Lei smiled, telling how he knew things and how he did them. Xia Yu listened quietly throughout. After Xia Lei finished speaking, Xia Yu was moved in his heart and said, "A Lei, you are interested." Xia Lei grinned and waved his hand and said, "What kind of words, we are brothers. Without you, there would be no me. It''s okay if you encounter something, I don''t know, and if I know, I can''t ignore it." "That Guo Jianglin is a poor man. Except for this shop and a house, there are only a few bank cards left. I asked them to check it. The total deposit is only two hundred and ten thousand. They are all here. This is what he asked for. He told me that I would take it out and apologize to you." "I also control the others. As for how to deal with it, it''s up to you." Looking at these things in his hands, Xia Yu fell into thinking. The most valuable of these things must be the "Norwegian Forest Bar", plus the house and deposits, there must be several million worth. But millions of assets are definitely astronomical for ordinary people. But for Xia Yu, it was drizzle, he really didn''t like it. However, this was Xia Lei''s intention, and it was a bit of suspicion that he would not be a blow to his motivation. Anyway, that Guo Jianglin did have a conflict with him. Although he was a small person, he had to teach him a lesson. Now that Xia Lei has handled it, follow this method. Xia Yu thought of the location of this "Norwegian Forest Bar" again, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and some memories of previous lives were flipped in his mind. It seems that the location of "Norwegian Forest Bar" will belong to Lan Kwai Fong in later generations... Thinking of this, he took out the bank card and the contract of the house and the deed to Xia Lei: "I will accept the bar, you can take the house and the bank card, I don''t need it." "For people, just let it go if you make sure that there are no problems, just a little one." Xia Lei also knew Xia Yu''s temper, so he obediently accepted the bank card and the contract and deed of the house, nodded and said: "Okay, just do what you said." Just then, the doorbell rang again. "Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" Xia Yu and Xia Lei stopped talking. Seeing Xia Lei''s puzzled gaze, Xia Yu smiled and said, "This time Bao Yu has just arrived. You sit down first, and I will open the door." "Ok!" Through the cat''s eyes, he saw Bao Yugang''s blessed face, Xia Yu smiled and opened the door. "Old Bao, good evening, come in!" "A Yu, good evening, there are still guests in the house?" Bao Yugang laughed loudly, looking in the direction of the living room. "My brother came to talk to me." Xia Yu explained with a smile. When he walked to the living room, Xia Yu didn''t cover up, and introduced to Bao Yugang: "Old Bao, this is my brother Xia Lei, a dead brother!" "A Lei, you should know this!" "Of course I know, the famous ship king, the richest man of the Chinese, who have long admired his name, and now I am finally fortunate to meet a real person." "Hello, Baosheng!" "Don''t dare to be, it''s an honor to know you!" Bao Yugang and Xia Lei shook hands and greeted each other, and sat down one after another. However, after drinking a cup of tea, Xia Lei knew that Bao Yugang and Xia Yu had something to discuss. In order to respect Bao Yugang, he was not good to listen to him, so he found an excuse to get up and apologize: "Ayu, Bao Sheng, I have something to do, so I will go back first." "Don''t Xia Sheng sit down for a while?" Bao Yugang asked politely. On the contrary, Xia Yu didn''t treat Xia Lei politely, and said to him: "Then A Lei, pay attention to safety when you go back at night, I will not see you off." "What do my brothers give me? I know what you said, don''t worry!" After Xia Lei finished speaking, he smiled and greeted the two again, then left, closing the door tightly. Xia Yu put the documents on the desktop away, Bao Yugang kept watching, and didn''t ask much. Instead, I chatted with Xia Yu, talking and laughing, and more than ten minutes passed. Seeing that it was nine o''clock, Bao Yu just realized that it was almost time, so he put down the tea cup, his expression gradually solemn. Xia Yu put down his teacup and looked at Bao Yugang in silence, and asked, "Old Bao, did you call me this afternoon because of today''s matter?" Bao Yu was rigid and straightforward. He didn''t bother to talk around with Xia Yu, and said bluntly: "Yes, you are overwhelmed today, I can''t even know it!" "Zhao Congyan is also my old opponent, and he has a little friendship. He found me and wanted to ask you through me if there is any misunderstanding." "A Yu, you don''t have to be embarrassed. I''m just a spreader. Zhao Congyan is not qualified to let me be a lobbyist." Xia Yu smiled freely, then smiled back and said: "Old Bao, you know that I am more particular about things. There must be no misunderstanding between me and his Zhao family. If it hadn''t annoyed me, I wouldn''t have gotten so angry." Bao Yugang''s brows narrowed slightly, and he asked concerned: "What''s the matter?" Xia Yu said, "Let me talk to you. When Zhao Congyan asks about you, you can tell him directly, I really have a reason for this." "It''s like this..." Then, Xia Yu told Li Zhaoji in the afternoon and also told Bao Yugang. Halfway through hearing, Bao Yugang''s eyebrows were drooped, obviously angry for Xia Yu. After listening, Bao Yugang patted the table directly and commented: "A Yu, you are right. It is your reason that the king of Lao Tzu is here. If his Zhao family did not educate his children, he should bear the consequences. " "Don''t worry, if anyone dares to chew the tongue, I will come forward to help you settle it." Xia Yu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, then." Bao Yugang smiled and said, "But I guess I''m frightened by your power, and no one dares to shout, haha..." Xia Yu smiled helplessly. Bao Yugang learned the truth, changed the subject wittily, and chatted with Xia Yu about business. Until 9:30 in the evening, Bao Yugang considered that Xia Yu would take a bath and rest, so he got up and said goodbye. Xia Yu sent Bao Yugang out the door, and watched his car disappear into the vast night. Shaking his head, closing the door, ready to wash and sleep, and refresh yourself for tomorrow''s affairs As soon as Bao Yu returns tonight, he will definitely tell the Zhao family what he said, and it will be up to the Zhao family to make a decision! Whether it is soft or hard, he has no fear! And Bao Yugang, closed his eyes in the car, thinking about how to reply to Zhao Congyan after going back later. Based on what he knows about Zhao Congyan, if you don''t get a quasi-trust from him tonight, you will never sleep. Sure enough, Zhao Congyan was sitting at the top of the hall in the Zhao family mansion with a phone on his right. After eating more than seven o''clock in the evening, Zhao Congyan sat here, keeping the phone in his tracks. The atmosphere in the hall is solemn. Zhao Congyan''s three sons, Zhao Shipeng, Zhao Shizeng, and Zhao Shiguang, were separated from each other, and they all waited solemnly. The housekeeper changed the hot tea for the four again, walked to Zhao Congyan again, and said worriedly: "Master, you have been sitting for more than two hours, and it is almost ten o''clock at nine o''clock. Bao Sheng will probably not call Now, why don''t you go to rest first?" "Yeah, Dad, let''s wait here. You are not in good health, so go to rest first." Zhao Congyan''s expression remained unchanged, and there is no doubt that he said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, Bao Yugang always pays attention to integrity in his work. Since he has promised me, he will definitely do it." "Don''t say it''s less than ten o''clock, even two o''clock in the morning have to wait!" "Don''t wait for the news, can you sleep tonight?" The three brothers of Zhao Shipeng opened their mouths, and in the end they could only bow their heads and sigh. The same is true of the facts. Without hearing the news, tonight will be a sleepless night. They have done everything they can, and now Bao Yugang''s news is the last light. It depends on the news of Bao Yugang! To put it harshly, they are also stubborn in their hearts, but they are ready to die as a ghost! "Boom~Boom~Boom~" The old-fashioned huanghuali pendulum clock hung on the central wall of the hall rang ten times to remind people that it was ten o''clock in the evening. The atmosphere in the hall became more solemn again. At this moment, a rush of ringing broke the silence, and everyone swiped their eyes to the phone on the desktop. Without saying anything, Zhao Congyan grabbed the phone and asked eagerly: "Hey, I''m Zhao Congyan!" () v3 Chapter 707: Zhaos approach The opposite is Bao Yugang. It''s just that Bao Yugang just said a few words, and Zhao Congyan''s expression turned gloomy, and he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Okay, Baosheng, please tell me, I can bear everything!" Hearing what the old father said, Zhao Shizeng waited for the three brothers to look at each other, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Although they were very anxious in their hearts, they could only endure not daring to interrupt the old father''s conversation. Only they knew how uncomfortable they were. "...What? I see, all right, Bao Sheng, trouble you, thank you!" "Dududu!" "Kang Dang!" "boom!" Zhao Congyan politely waited for Bao Yu to hang up, and could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He slapped the microphone on the phone, then slapped it on the table with a loud noise. The three brothers such as Zhao Shizeng were shocked by the sudden eruption of the father. "Dad, sit down and say, calm down!" The boss Zhao Shipeng immediately rushed over to help his father and said comfortingly, trying to calm Zhao Congyan down. It''s just that after Zhao Congyan knows the reason, where can he calm down, his face is red and green, and a volcano is about to erupt in his heart. "Dad, what did Bao Sheng say? What caused Xia Yu to target our Zhao family?" Zhao Shizeng asked carefully. Zhao Congyan looked like a knife, looked at his third son Zhao Shizeng coldly, and exclaimed: "You are ashamed to ask!" "Not because of your baby son!" Zhao Shi was taken aback, his face changed suddenly, and he blurted out in disbelief, "How could it be Zhian?" Just as he finished speaking, he remembered his son''s abnormal reaction at noon today and the injury on his face. He didn''t want to study with his son at noon. Although he was puzzled, he planned to have a good talk with him when he went back at night. Just waiting for Bao Yugang''s call, he didn''t have time to go back to his residence, so he ignored it temporarily. Now the anger of old father Zhao Congyan has rekindled the doubts in his heart. Zhao Shizeng''s rhetorical question made Zhao Congyan more angry. He slapped the table with a palm and shouted, "Why can''t it be him?" "The son does not teach, the father and son pass!" "You, as a father, linger about beauty all day, and even learn from you with your son, now you finally got into trouble!" "Where is he now? Get him here!" In the face of his father''s remarks, Zhao Shizeng''s face was ugly. He could only transfer his anger to his son who was not present. He said angrily: "I''ll bring him this rebellious son!" After speaking, Zhao Shizeng rushed out anxiously. Zhao Shipeng and Zhao Shiguang looked at each other, and when they were disappointed, they blamed Zhao Zhian. Seeing Zhao Congyan sitting down panting, his youngest son Zhao Shiguang plucked up the courage to ask, "Dad, what is going on in this matter?" Zhao Congyan''s eyes were still cold, and he glanced at his younger son, but did not explain, but ordered: "You two also go back, call your family, and perform the family law in front of the ancestral hall tonight!" "Also, inform the third child and let him call his wife over!" Zhao Congyan ordered the housekeeper Ade: "Ade, you are responsible for notifying the other people!" "Guru!" Shocked flashes of Zhao Shipeng and Zhao Shiguang''s eyes, they all knew that the old man was going to be true, and they planned to call everyone to execute the family law overnight. But if it really hurts the family because of a dude, Zhao Congyan won''t kill the chicken and the monkey! Thinking of this, they left immediately and went back to their homes to find their wives and children. And Zhao Congyan, after sitting still for a few minutes, went to the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall by himself. ... Zhao Shizeng went home angrily, only to find his wife was watching TV at home. "Master, what''s wrong with you? Who made you angry?" "Big brother just called and asked me to go to the clan with you. Did something happen?" Liu Yufen in pajamas asked with concern. It''s okay not to ask. When asked, Zhao Shizeng became more angry and snorted coldly: "Isn''t it a little bastard, how about others?" Liu Yufen suddenly became nervous and asked: "What did Zhi''an do?" "What else is going on, a big thing! My Zhao family will be destroyed by him!" "Old man Thunder is furious, let me take him over, where is the others?" Liu Yufen was shocked and nervous, and said hurriedly: "He hasn''t come back. It is estimated that he is living outside." "Change your clothes right away, and follow me to get him back!" Zhao Shizeng left a word, turned and left, Liu Yufen immediately changed clothes and drove with the car. On the way, the flustered Liu Yufen kept asking Zhao Shizeng, Zhao Shizeng said the matter again with his anger, Liu Yufen talked about it all the way, and became more flustered. "What about others?" Before the car arrived at a small villa, Zhao Shizeng asked the bodyguard who was approaching him after getting off the car. The bodyguard thought about what was happening inside, and said bitterly: "Master is in the house, he should not be asleep yet." "Open the door!" Zhao Shizeng walked in, only to find two pairs of ladies'' shoes at the door, how could he not guess what was going on among the veteran. He came to Zhao Zhian''s master bedroom, the door was unlocked, and when he unscrewed it, a ridiculous scene appeared inside. Zhao Zhi''an, who was concentrating, hurriedly reclaimed. When he saw his father''s gloomy face at the door, he was shocked. "dad!" "what¡­¡­" Two screams sounded. "Get dressed and get out!" Zhao Shizeng roared and then left. After Zhao Zhian got downstairs neatly, he saw his father sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, while his mother looked worried. Holding Zhao Zhian''s hand, he kept begging, hoping that he would not beat his son. Zhao Zhian bit his scalp and walked over, shouting only consensually: "Dad, mom!" Seeing this picture of his son, Zhao Shizeng was so angry that he would not fight it out. Thinking that he not only caused a huge trouble, but also hid it and caused the family to suffer heavy losses, Zhao Shizeng wanted to kick it over. "Master, Dad is still waiting!" At the moment when the price rises and the veins violently violently, Liu Yufen hugged his hand tightly and said pleadingly. "Huh...huh..." He stared at his son like a knife, so that he looked down at the floor. "Follow me back to the family, the old man is looking for you!" "Yes!" Zhao Zhian trembled all over, and there was a buzz in his brain. It''s late, the crime happened! ... In front of the Zhaojiazu public hall. Zhao Congyan worshipped for three times and respectfully put incense on the ancestral tablet. A large family including Zhao Congyan''s eldest son and fourth son, as well as his cousin, dozens of people, old and young, were all standing in front of the hall, amazed by the atmosphere here, and only dared to ask the clansmen next to them in a low voice. "Ade, are everyone here?" After finishing the incense, Zhao Congyan asked the waiting housekeeper. "Back to the master, except for the three young masters, all the other people are here!" The butler Ade answered truthfully. Zhao Congyan nodded slightly, no longer said much, holding his hand and looking at the ancestral tablet. After waiting for more than ten minutes, when it was rustling below, the roar of cars finally faintly heard outside. Soon after, Zhao Shizeng and Liu Yufen arrived with their son Zhao Zhian. Seeing his tribe''s eyes cast on himself and others, and the occasion was still solemn and solemn Ancestral Hall, Zhao Zhian only felt that his legs were weak and unable to move. "Dad, I brought people!" Zhao Shi once reported on the first meeting. Zhao Congyan turned around, looked at Zhao Zhian blankly, and said coldly, "Kneel down!" "grandfather!" "dad!" Zhao Zhian''s face changed drastically, and he shouted in an imploring tone, but both of them looked cold. "The third child, he is your son, you can figure it out!" In the strange faces of other people, Zhao Congyan ordered Zhao Shizeng. Zhao Shizeng also knew what it meant to behave on this occasion, and he immediately walked in, pressed Zhao Zhian¡¯s shoulder, and said coldly: "Kneel to your ancestor! No matter what happens, you can''t move!" "Puff!" Zhao Zhian, who was already weak in his legs, couldn''t hold it anymore and fell to his knees with a panic on his face. "Ade, family law!" Zhao Congyan did not explain the situation at all, and said again. The butler Ade picked up a red cloth plate from the side table with a dark red stick on it. This stick is a law enforcement stick, also called family law. It is a tool used by the elders in a large family to beat their children and slaves. Seeing Zhao Congyan holding the family law, the expressions of everyone present changed. Using the family law in front of the ancestral hall was obviously an extremely serious punishment. The more serious point was to remove the genealogy and drive out of the family. What is the reason for Zhao Congyan to punish his grandson by family law overnight! Some people of the tribe were flexible in their minds, thinking of what happened in the day, their eyes narrowed, and they watched quietly. "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I was wrong..." Seeing grandpa walking over with a cold face holding the law enforcement stick, Zhao Zhian''s face was bloodless, and he wanted to get up in a panic, but Zhao Shizeng held it down and stepped on his leg with one foot. Even his son, Zhao Shizeng was able to do it, not to mention that if he didn''t do it on this occasion, the consequences would be worse. "dad!" Liu Yufen''s eyes were red, and she begged in a low voice, but was held by Zhao Shipeng and Zhao Shiguang''s wife and prevented her from going out. At this time, you have to watch what happens. This is the best way! "Snapped!" "what!" ... "Grandpa, I was wrong, please spare me!" Zhao Zhian''s pleading was only exchanged for Zhao Congyan''s heavy stick, and he wailed again. "Snapped!" ... Some of the clansmen standing around couldn''t bear it, and even some children were afraid to watch, but they were held down by their parents to continue watching. They hoped to warn their children so that they might not be like Zhao Zhian one day. "Woo..." Her heart was held down by her husband, and Liu Yufen was heartbroken by her father-in-law''s beating. Tears couldn''t stop streaming down. At this moment, she was both heartbroken and regretful. If she was not deceived by her son last night and made things clear, she would be able to resolve the family crisis in advance, and her son would not have to accept such severe punishment. After thirty blows, Zhao Congyan finally stopped. Butler Ade immediately dragged the plate out and Zhao Congyan placed the law enforcement stick in the plate. Seeing his grandson slumped to the ground, Zhao Congyan''s eyes flashed with hatred for iron and steel. After that, he didn''t care about his grandson anymore, and let him stay in the middle to reflect on it. Zhao Congyan turned around and said loudly to the grandfather''s tablet: "The ancestors and ancestors are on the top, and today there are unscrupulous descendants, Zhao Zhian, who acted recklessly and brought disaster to the family. The family law has been implemented! After speaking, Zhao Congyan bowed deeply. After getting up, he turned around, his eyes swept across the faces of all the people around him, and he began to explain why. "All the people from the tribe are invited to come over tonight because the family has a bad offspring. You should all know what happened today. Jiuding Securities shorted the family''s Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate. The market was closed at 4pm. The company has evaporated a total of 490 million Hong Kong dollars, and the amount allocated to the family is as high as 250 million!" "If it is not resolved, the situation will become more serious by tomorrow. If one is not handled properly, the consequences are unpredictable!" "Fight head-to-head with Jiuding Securities. If we are still in the right place, then there is still a chance. But today, I asked someone to understand the matter clearly. The stock **** targeted our Zhao family because someone in the family provoke him. This is his revenge. !" Speaking of this, Zhao Congyan looked at Zhao Zhian coldly, and asked nonchalantly: "Zhao Zhian, tell the truth about what happened last night without any concealment!" Zhao Zhian trembled and dared not hide it at all, and honestly explained: "I went to the''Norwegian Forest Bar'' in Central last night..." As Zhao Zhian continued to tell, the blue veins on Zhao Congyan''s face rose again and his chest rose and fell rapidly. As for the other tribesmen who didn''t know the situation, the eyes looking at Zhao Zhian were also full of disgust. It is because of this dude, that the family is facing a crisis of life and death. If the Jiuding Consortium really smashes with the Zhao family, with the strength of the Zhao family, it will definitely end in complete failure. No matter whether the two companies of the family are acquired, infiltrated, or bankrupted, the Zhao family will be devastated and face Jiuding again. Under the suppression of the consortium, it will only gradually decline. They are all used to living a life of good clothes and food, and now because of Zhao Zhian, they may lose this life. How can they not hate Zhao Zhian. When Zhao Zhian finished speaking, Zhao Congyan looked at the two younger brothers and his family sitting next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zhian has committed such a big mistake and has been banned for a full year! Without my approval, he is not allowed to leave the family!" "Yes!" Zhao Shizeng immediately responded. This kind of punishment is simply not enough to convince the public, the next thing is the big head. However, Zhao Congyan didn''t say how fast it was, but asked everyone: "Now that the Zhao family is facing a choice, is it a battle or peace? Everyone expresses their opinions!" "Big brother, it''s not that I destroy my prestige. With the strength of our Zhao family, let''s be soft!" "The Jiuding Consortium is very wealthy, and now it¡¯s difficult for us to move just one Jiuding Securities. If the whole consortium targets us together, we have no chance of winning!" "Moreover, we don''t take care of this matter, and other people will not necessarily lend a hand, hey..." The scene was silent for a long time before an old man next to Zhao Congyan stood up and said. He is the younger brother of Zhao Congyan, and his attitude determines the attitude of his line. Zhao Congyan nodded slightly and looked at another old man, his third brother Zhao Congyi. Although Zhao Congyan is the head of the Zhao family, the family can have the present, not only because he has done a good job as the leader, but also because of the contributions of his two younger brothers. The family law will be enforced tonight, mainly for fairness and justice, to show his two brothers to show his attitude. Zhao Congyi also knew that the eldest brother wanted to be soft, but he just wanted to step down, so he said: "Brother, since it is our Zhao family''s affair, this bitter fruit has to be swallowed even if you don¡¯t have to swallow it, leaving the green hills to worry about no firewood. !" Zhao Congyan nodded and said: "Okay, suddenly everyone has no opinion, then I will deal with this matter, and all the people of the tribe will work together to overcome the difficulties!" "But this happened because of my grandson, and the loss to the family, we will make the big difference!" "From today, half of my dividend will be allocated to the family fund! And 5% of the equity of Huaguang Shipping will be placed under the family name. Who will make a huge contribution to the family in the future? Equity distribution!" "The son does not teach, the father and son pass!" "The third child, you put 5% of Huaguang Real Estate''s equity and 2% of Huaguang Shipping''s equity under the name of the family to reward those who have contributed to the family. Do you have any opinions?" Zhao Shizeng clenched his fist, his heart ached, but he could only lower his head and say: "I have no objection! Obey the family arrangement!" These shares, according to their original value, are worth 70 to 80 million, so they have been taken away! But his son¡¯s mistakes should be his responsibility as Laozi. After all, his equity, if there is no accident, will also be inherited to his son in the future Do others have objections? " Zhao Congyan looked at the others again. Everyone present shook their heads. The family has an additional 7% stake in Huaguang Shipping and a 5% stake in Huaguang Real Estate. According to the current value, it is also more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. This is their share of dividends. Also belongs to the family. And in accordance with the rules, as long as you make an outstanding contribution and negotiated by the family, you can get equity rewards. Zhao Congyan''s handling is fair and just. "Today''s matter, I hope everyone will take a warning and strengthen the discipline of the younger generation. The Zhao family can''t stand the second toss!" "Tomorrow, I will go to Xia Yu to negotiate, and the other clansmen will stick to their posts and await orders from the family!" "That''s it tonight, let''s go!" When everyone left, Zhao Congyan sighed. At the critical juncture, he had to twist the family into a rope first, so as not to be destroyed by Xia Yu, like the Keswick family. Although the Zhao family holds more than 50% of the shares in the two companies, these shares are scattered to the hands of the people, and his two younger brothers have a lot. Although the younger brothers have little hope of betraying the family, with Zhao Congyan''s character, everything is stable, so he has to deal with it like this! Not dealing with it is not enough to convince the public! In order for the family to pass on, he must take the lead in observing the rules! This is how the big family continues! Family law is bigger than the sky! After leaving the ancestral hall, he returned to his own hall, where all three sons were waiting. Without delay, Zhao Congyan said to his three sons: "The funds raised today are ready, I will go to Xia Yu, then follow my order and execute it as soon as possible!" "Yes!" v3 Chapter 708: PY transactions and hundreds of millions of profits "Ring Ling Ling..." At 7:30 in the morning, Xia Yu had just finished punching and returned to the living room when he heard the phone ringing quickly. Who is calling so early? With such doubts, Xia Yu answered the phone, and Wang Qi was on the opposite side. "..." "Okay, I get it! The courtesy can''t be lost, but the plan will be executed as usual. I will come here later!" After speaking, Xia Yu hung up and smiled with interest. Wang Qi reported to him on the phone just now. After arriving at the company early, Zhao Congyan came in immediately, carrying many gifts, and a young man named Zhao Zhian with scars on his face and a solemn commitment. Zhao Congyan hopes to see Xia Yu and apologize to him in person. Just after Bao Yu left last night, Xia Yu made Zhao Congyan''s plan to subdue softly, but he didn''t expect Zhao Congyan to be so straightforward, and he would wait outside Jiuding Securities. It seems that the Zhao family is indeed anxious! But they should be in a hurry. Xia Yu is not in a hurry. Let them dry for a while. Breakfast is important! Thinking of this, he went to breakfast slowly. It was only eight o''clock before he set off for the company. There was another traffic jam on the way, and when it arrived at the gate of Jiuding Securities Company, it was already 8.20. "Wang Qi, where are they?" After entering the company and seeing Wang Qi working as a commander, Xia Yu asked. "They are in the reception room, let me take you there!" "No, you handle the matter first, and come back when I call you!" After speaking, Xia Yu took Li Wuming straight to the reception room. As time passed and the time when the stock market opened became closer and closer, Zhao Congyan''s heart gradually became anxious, and he looked out the door from time to time, just in time to see Xia Yu walking over with someone. He stood up suddenly, greeted Xia Yu with a smile. "Hello Xia Sheng, I''m really sorry to disturb you so early!" Zhao Congyan put his attitude very low and said with a smile. Xia Yu glanced at Zhao Zhian next to him, smiled and shook hands with him to say hello: "Hello Zhao Sheng, please sit down!" "Thank you!" After finishing talking, Zhao Congyan took a seat, but Zhao Zhian still stood with his head down. "Zhi An, apologize to Xia Sheng!" Before Xia Yu asked, Zhao Congyan took the initiative to order. Then, in Xia Yu''s surprised eyes, Zhao Zhian directly knelt down to Xia Yu, and said bitterly: "Xia Sheng, I''m sorry, it was because I bumped into you with no eyes, please raise your hand to go around me once, sorry! I was wrong!" Zhao Zhian was so crisp, and he knelt down to admit his mistake, which was beyond Xia Yu''s expectation. Even Li Wuming, who was standing behind Xia Yu, flashed a hint of surprise. This Zhao Congyan is okay, but even giving him such a hand and holding his posture so low made Xia Yu a little embarrassed. "Sure enough, he is an old fox, able to bend and stretch, he deserves to be the character who created the Zhao family with one hand!" Xia Yu thought secretly. Just like Zhao Congyan''s shameless approach, with Xia Yu''s character, he might not be able to do it. Xia Yu ignored Zhao Zhian, but looked at Zhao Congyan and said meaningfully: "Zhao Sheng, admire!" Zhao Congyan seemed unaware, and said with a smile: "Xia Sheng, I''m really sorry, I didn''t educate my grandson well, which caused him to offend you. Fortunately, nothing irreversible happened, but if you did something wrong you did something wrong. My Zhao family is willing to accept punishment, and I am convinced that I dare not have any complaints!" "It''s just that my Zhao family is not just Zhao Zhian alone, everyone else is innocent, so I brazenly ask you to raise your hand!" Seeing Zhao Congyan at such an old age, with white spots on his temples and whispering to him for mercy, Xia Yu was deeply moved. The anger in his heart also disappeared a lot. However, since he has done it, he can''t solve it in a few words. If he wants to win his forgiveness by saying nothing, how much is his dignity and prestige worth? Thinking of this, Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and slowly said: "Zhao Sheng, since it happened, it must have a result, and we can''t work in vain." "Yes, Xia Sheng, you are right. If you have any requirements, you may as well speak up!" Zhao Congyan said immediately. Xia Yu nodded and said, "If that''s the case, then I''ll just say it!" "I heard that the Zhao family holds shares in Heungjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company?" Zhao Congyan was stunned, and immediately said: "Yes, we hold 42.4% of the shares of Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company. Since Xia Sheng is interested, I can give it to you for free!" Good guy, Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company is worth about 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and 42.4% of its equity is worth nearly 34 million Hong Kong dollars. Zhao Congyan said to give it to him without blinking his eyes. Big! "Give it to me? It''s not compliant, right..." Xia Yu said with an embarrassed expression. Zhao Congyan patted his forehead, and said apologetically: "Look at me, you are not thoughtful, otherwise, I will transfer it to you at the price of one Hong Kong dollar, and please accept it!" Xia Yu thought for a while, then reluctantly said: "If this is the case, then I will accept it?" "You must accept it!" Zhao Congyan nodded and said. In fact, Zhao Congyan is not willing to have equity worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, but if Xia Yu''s anger is not calmed and the matter resolved, the stock price will evaporate hundreds of millions after the stock market opens today. The Zhao family''s roots are Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate. As long as these two companies can be kept, the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company will be lost. Don''t keep trying to survive in critical moments! Zhao Zhian, who was still kneeling on the ground, saw his grandfather so low-pitched with regret in his heart, and his hatred for his grandfather disappeared a lot. Had it not been for the mistakes he made, the grandfather like Optimus Prime in his eyes would not have acted like this. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret. "Thank you Zhao Sheng for his generosity!" Xia Yu thanked him first, and then continued: "By the way, Zhao Sheng. Before, my company borrowed a lot of stocks from other institutions, and I always have to repay them. It¡¯s just that the stock price seems to be a bit high now. I plan to buy it when it¡¯s low. Go back a little bit, what do you think?" Zhao Congyan''s eyes condensed, his mind turned sharply, thinking about Xia Yu''s real plan. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Xia Sheng, why not speak clearly!" Xia Yu smiled, worried that he had brought a recorder, and said vaguely: "Zhao Sheng, I have said this very clearly, just as you think." Zhao Congyan thought for a while, nodded slowly and said, "I understand that buying stocks is a normal operation, but I want to dare to ask, I don''t know how many Xia Sheng plans to buy?" Xia Yu said: "I borrowed 20% of Huaguang Shipping and 25% of Huaguang Real Estate from other institutions." "Zhao Sheng rest assured, I am not interested in these two companies, just to return the equity." "In fact, I admire Zhao Sheng very much. I am looking forward to being friends with Zhao Sheng for being able to make such a big family business from the sea!" Zhao Congyan said immediately: "It is also my honour to be Xia Sheng''s friend. I am waiting for your news." "But I have a request. My Zhao family is weak and it is estimated that it will not last long. Please also Xia Sheng to inform in advance." Xia Yu said with a smile: "This is definitely necessary, I must notify in advance." Zhao Congyan smiled suddenly, and then asked: "Xia Sheng, I wonder if you have anything else to point me to?" "I can''t talk about giving instructions, and I have nothing to say. If Zhao Sheng has something to do, I can go back and deal with it first." Hearing these words, Zhao Congyan was relieved, got up and said to Xia Yu: "Then I won''t bother Xia Sheng, and I''ll have someone deliver the stuff later, and I''ll chat next time!" "Say it!" "Go slow!" "Xia Sheng, please stay, we know the way by ourselves!" Watching Zhao Congyan and the others leave, Xia Yu''s mouth turned into a smile. Later, Xia Yu ordered people to call Wang Qi over. "Chairman, their car is gone, I don''t know what price they paid?" Wang Qi asked curiously. Xia Yu said with a smile: "The equity of Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company was sold for 1 Hong Kong dollar." "And Zhao Congyan promised to continue to let the stock price go and let us buy the stock." Wang Qile is now, and said with surprise: "I can''t imagine that Zhao Congyan can agree to this, it is a personal thing!" Xia Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, as long as Zhao Congyan does not die, the Zhao family can''t fall down!" "Alright, let''s not talk about it, the market will open soon, since the Zhao family let it go, seize the opportunity to suppress the stock price, and buy the bottom at the lowest possible price!" "For the purchased stock, Huaguang Shipping will wait until the stock price recovers and find a suitable opportunity to sell it. Huaguang Real Estate''s stock can still be held." "understand!" "Go! Hurry up!" Wang Qi was ordered to leave, and Xia Yu stretched out, feeling very happy. This time, let alone earn two or three billion Hong Kong dollars. The shares of the Hong Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company were obtained for nothing, which is more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. In the case of the Zhao family letting it go, the biggest resistance in the stock market disappears, and market panic will further increase. There is also artificial suppression, and the stock prices of Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate will definitely plummet. After the price drops to a trough, Jiuding Securities will buy the bottom. Xia Yu said that the acquisition of 20% of Huaguang Shipping and 25% of Huaguang Real Estate is just a matter of spectacle. Of course, it counts as much as it can buy. How many. In this kind of py transaction, how can you not pick up more? As for Zhao Congyan, will he also buy bottoms at low prices? Xia Yu believed that as long as he was wise, he would never do this. After all, what he did was definitely slap Xia Yu in the face. Xia Yu was determined to encircle him. It was not a matter of Jiuding Securities Company. Even if the Zhao family held more equity, Xia Yu would still be able to punish them! ... In the car, Zhao Congyan''s face was gloomy, and he didn''t see the low-pitched smile just now. Zhao Zhian, who was sitting shrinking next to him, hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Grandpa, I''m sorry, I was wrong!" Zhao Congyan looked at Zhao Zhian for a long time and realized that he really knew that he was wrong, his eyes softened a lot. After all, Zhao Zhian is his grandson, and he was also very smart when he was a child, but his father was not strict in discipline and did not have a good head, which made him contaminated with a lot of dudes. Zhao Congyan also knows that not only the Zhao family, but also the children of many wealthy families in Xiangjiang have this problem, and many of them are even more serious than Zhao Zhian. The only difference is that Zhao Zhian ran into Xia Yu unluckily. Multiple reasons have caused this situation. But even though Zhao Zhian was repentant, Zhao Congyan still didn''t plan to let him out, and tried to rescue him completely in a year. Zhao Congyan sighed and said, "Zhi''an, don''t blame Grandpa for being cruel. For the next year, you will be at home and reflect on it. Read more books and newspapers. Your friends, friends, and friends are also cut off, remember? ?" "Grandpa, I remember, I must make good changes!" Zhao Zhian said quickly. "Ok!" Zhao Congyan nodded slightly, leaning on the backrest and closing his eyes to rest. After a while, Zhao Congyan returned home and saw his three sons waiting anxiously. "Dad, how is the situation?" Zhao Shizeng was the most anxious and asked first. "Yes, Dad, what conditions did Xia Yu offer?" "It''s nine o''clock now, do we want to buy back the stock?" Zhao Congyan said solemnly: "Sit down and say, there is no need to buy back stocks!" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Shipeng''s eyes and said, "Xia Yu is going to let us go?" "Just put a horse on the fart, he is eating people without spitting out bones!" Zhao Congyan hummed coldly. "You take out all the shares of the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company, and this company will sell it to him for 1 Hong Kong dollar!" "what?" "Dad, apart from Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate, this company is the largest company in our family. The equity is worth tens of millions, so I gave it to her?" Zhao Shiguang said hurriedly. Zhao Congyan was in a bad mood, and said with a black face: "If you can save two big companies, you will lose if you lose it. You will always pay a price if you do something wrong!" As soon as Zhao Shiguang heard that he had saved the two companies, he immediately left the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company behind. "Just keep it! Just keep it..." Zhao Shiguang calmed down after babbling a few words, and then asked, "Dad, wouldn''t he just make such a requirement?" The other two also looked at their father immediately. Zhao Congyan shook his head and said, "More than that, this is just a threshold!" "What he meant is to continue to suppress the share prices of the two companies, let us sit on the sidelines and let the stock prices fall, and then let them buy bottoms at low prices, requiring 20% ??of Huaguang Shipping and 20% of Huaguang Real Estate. Five equity." "The reason is to buy back the stock and return it to other gambling institutions." "Ah!" Hearing this request, Zhao Shizeng suddenly scolded: "*&£¤%!" "Too black-hearted, he is cutting the flesh of all investors, but he makes our family be infamy! It''s hateful!" Zhao Shipeng said in a deep voice: "I''m afraid that he is just a slow-down strategy. He will not give up after acquiring the equity, and wants to **** our company." "Dad, should we also buy bottoms at low prices and increase our equity holdings to more than two-thirds without worrying?" ... Seeing that his sons reacted differently, Zhao Congyan was equally exhausted. He suffered from insomnia last night, making him mentally exhausted now. He sighed and said: "Okay, stop fighting, the matter is at this point, you can only admit your fate!" "You don''t have to think about it if you are rushing to buy the bottom. It is always a huge hidden danger that he is worried about." "Let¡¯s recite the infamy. Anyhow, the crisis is resolved. Our family¡¯s equity is enough. If he wants to cut the meat, he cuts it. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t cut us. Whether he holds the equity, in order to make money, the stock price will always go up. We''ll be fine if we survive it!" "You all go back and comfort the employees of the company, and you must not make trouble!" "Yes!" The three of Zhao Shipeng replied respectfully and retired one after another. "Hey¡­¡­" After Zhao Congyan sighed, he went back to his house to rest. ... At nine one, the stock market opens. The much-anticipated Zhao family stood up and headed by Jiuding Securities, the empty hand-to-hand scene did not appear. Huaguang Shipping Company and Huaguang Real Estate Company started diving. And fell at a high speed. Many rumors have also begun to circulate in the market, saying that the two companies have falsified the financial affairs of the two companies, some that the Zhao family''s capital chain has been broken, and that the Zhao family''s internal disturbances. In short, all kinds of unfavorable comments have come out. Three people become tigers! If there are more people talking about it, some will believe it, and even those who do not believe it will gradually lose confidence in the two companies. Under this circumstance, there are more and more selling orders from Huaguang Real Estate and Huaguang Shipping. Blood collapsed! Looking at the stock price decline and selling orders, institutions realized that Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate had collapsed, and even if the Zhao family wanted to make a move, it would be too late. 14.5 HKD per share! 14.2 HKD per share! 13.5 HKD per share! ... One hour after the opening, the market value of Huaguang Shipping dropped to 780 million Hong Kong dollars, which was 180 million Hong Kong dollars lower than when the market closed last night! The market value of Huaguang Real Estate also fell to 610 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a drop of 140 million Hong Kong dollars from yesterday''s closing price! Within an hour, another 320 million market value was evaporated. It''s really scary! And because the stock prices of these two companies fell sharply, the panic caused also affected the entire market. The Hang Seng Index temporarily fell by four points! When the public''s attention was focused on Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate, Wang Qi quietly appeared in the office of the chairman of HSBC. "Shen Sheng, I don''t know how you are thinking about it?" Wang Qi smiled and looked at Shen Bi expectantly. Shen Bi said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I didn''t expect you to have time to come over this morning." Wang Qi knew what Shen Bi meant. He smiled and said: "Shen Sheng, that''s just a small matter. Other people in the company can be responsible. On the contrary, it is your most important thing! Of course I am coming! " Shen Bi admired: "Your company has many talents!" "Mr. Wang I thought about it. Hutchison Whampoa''s equity can be sold to you, but I want to know first, how much do you hold now?" Looking at Shen Bi''s smiling face, Wang Qi was silent for a moment before saying: "Holding a 22.75% equity ratio!" Shen Bi''s pupils shrank instantly, and he said with some emotion: "Unexpectedly, your shareholding ratio is so high. It seems that you have planned and remembered Huangpu for a long time!" Wang Qi was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "It didn''t take long for anyone to keep Hutchison Whampoa losing money, otherwise our company would not be able to buy it if it wanted to!" After speaking, Wang Qi asked: "Shen Sheng, although our company holds 22.75% of the shares, we do not have the right to operate the company. We don¡¯t have the intention to operate a company that doesn¡¯t belong to us. Now the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa is in a downturn. It seems that in recent years, it has not been able to get out of the quagmire. HSBC¡¯s holding of Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s equity is very uneconomical. It is better to sell it to us. Shen Bi heard the meaning of Wang Qi''s words. He took a sip of tea and said his thoughts.

"Mr. Wang, although the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa is indeed sluggish, looking at it from another perspective, its potential value is huge. The current stock price does not represent its true value." "I also believe in Xia Sheng''s strength. As long as Hutchison Whampoa takes over, he will definitely be able to get out of the quagmire. By then, it will be easy for Hutchison Whampoa to double its value." Hearing what Shen Bi said, Wang Qi understood what he meant, and immediately shook his head and said: "Mr. Shen, you can''t assume that all this has never happened, and I can''t guarantee that after the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, Can our chairman take it out of the quagmire? This is just a gamble and there is a great risk! Even if it may generate profit, it is what we deserve after taking the risk and has nothing to do with HSBC!" "We should look at it now. If we follow the current trajectory, Hutchison Whampoa will always be in a quagmire, and HSBC''s funds will be locked up, which will cause huge losses." "You sell the equity to us and you can unwind the capital. I believe that with HSBC''s ability, it will not be a problem to make a double or double profit in a few years." "And as far as I know, when HSBC acquired this equity, the overall market value of Hutchison Whampoa was less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. You can still make a huge profit by selling it now. You can avoid it by pulling out the profit in time. Profits have shrunk." Shen Bi suddenly smiled and exclaimed: "Mr. Wang, your eloquence is really good!" Wang Qi said modestly: "I still have a lot to learn from Mr. Shen." Seeing that Wang Qi was not on the road, Shen Bi also faded his thoughts and decided to open the skylight to speak brightly. "Mr. Wang, let me just say it straight. I have two plans to transfer the equity of Hutchison Whampoa to you." "Please speak!" "In the first, HSBC will leave 10% of the equity, and the other equity will be transferred to you, and the price will be transferred at the current market value." "Second, I am very optimistic about the prospects of Jiuding Securities, so I want to cooperate with your company. HSBC Securities will exchange a part of the equity with Jiuding Securities. I will transfer all the equity of Hutchison Whampoa to you, and you will make up the difference. " After finishing speaking, Shen Bi ignored Wang Qi''s solemn face and looked at him with a faint smile. At this time, Wang Qi secretly scolded Shen Bi as shameless, and even put forward these two difficult requests. No matter which one he chooses, HSBC makes a profit. In the first option, HSBC intends to make tailwind money and let Xia Yu take Hutchison Whampoa out of the quagmire. As long as the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa doubles, the value of the 10% equity left by HSBC will double. , And as the future Hutchison Whampoa develops better, HSBC will make more money. Although Shen Bi gave a step to say that the transfer is at a fair price, whether the premium is at a fair price depends on the company''s analysis. When HSBC bought the equity, it only cost 70-80 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the current market value, this equity is already worth nearly 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Excluding currency depreciation and HSBC¡¯s own asset appreciation capabilities, HSBC is also pure Earned at least 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. And consider that the market is not optimistic about Hutchison Whampoa now. If HSBC dared to throw out more than 20% of its equity, Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s stock price would definitely collapse. So in addition to private transactions, except Xia Yu, Others are really hard to pick up. In other words, HSBC is locked up, and the value of its equity is inflated. In the second option, Shen Bi abandoned the potential profits of Hutchison Whampoa in the future and used the idea of ??a larger ship of Jiuding Securities. Everyone knows that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is the largest securities company in Hong Kong today, and it has a lot of money. If HSBC Securities and Jiuding Securities cross shareholding, then HSBC Securities will not only be able to share the profits of Jiuding Securities, but also get information about Jiuding Securities, and follow the trend in front of everyone. The profits are also terrifying. Regardless of which option Wang Qi chooses, HSBC will not suffer from the two plans. The only difference lies in which boat to take! Shen Bi was even eager for Wang Qi to choose the second one. But Wang Qi is very clear that Jiuding Securities has many secrets that are not known to outsiders. Chairman Xia Yu will never let HSBC Bank in, and he has no right to agree to such a thing. Therefore, Wang Qi resolutely shook his head and said: "Mr. Shen, you make me very embarrassed. I am only the general manager of Jiuding Securities, and I have no right to agree to your request for equity replacement." "And I know our chairman, he will not agree to your request!" Shen Bi was unmoved, and said with a light smile: "Anything is possible, isn''t it?" "Mr. Wang, if you feel embarrassed and difficult to make a decision, it is better to ask Mr. Xia, if the decision is good, we will talk again!" "During this period, Qi Dezun will not know any news between us." The matter was over, Wang Qi had no choice but to give up temporarily. He got up and said: "Mr. Shen, then I will go back and ask our chairman for instructions, and wait until he decides to see!" "Ok!" "I''ll leave first!" "I''ll give it to you!" ... Soon, Wang Qi returned to the company, but Xia Yu was not found. He called the group chairman''s office, only to learn that the chairman Xia Yu had gone to Jiuding Real Estate Group, and he could not be contacted temporarily. Wang Qi had no choice but to temporarily put the matter aside and devote his energy to suppressing Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate, and acquiring the Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company. Let''s talk about Xia Yu''s side. After Wang Qi left, he went to Jiuding Property Group, found Liu Shihao, and drove him to Central on Hong Kong Island. He was wearing sunglasses and was inspecting Yunxian Street with Liu Shihao. Stepping on the pebble-paved road, Liu Shihao carefully observed the surrounding restaurants, bars, karaoke lounges and other shops. Because it is during the day, except for the restaurant, the other entertainment shops are either closed or they are very deserted. Liu Shihao is not surprised, he knows that what he sees now is just an illusion When night falls, it will be very lively. Stopped and walked for more than ten minutes, from Yunxian Street to Ronghuali. Xia Yu stopped and asked Liu Shihao: "Shihao, after reading this, what do you think or feel?" Liu Shihao always read and summarized all the way, and he had already had a draft in his mind. When Xia Yu asked at this time, he said without hesitation: ¡°The Japanese, English, German, French restaurants and other western restaurants here are very dense, and the concentration should be at the forefront of the entire Xiangjiang, and bars and karaoke lounges are also There are many, and there are also many supporting retail stores, which can be said to integrate dining, leisure and entertainment." "At night, there will be a lot of people flow here, white-collar workers near Hong Kong Island should like to come here to spend and relax." "But after reading it, I think there are many shortcomings, the most obvious is that the distribution of various stores is messy and unplanned, and the grades are uneven." "If unified planning and unified management can be achieved, this can be built into a small leisure and entertainment business district with good prospects." v3 Chapter 710: Ways of cooperation beyond the board Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... "Not bad!" Xia Yu said with appreciation. After speaking, Xia Yu beckoned to the entourage beside him, and his subordinates immediately took the document bag to Liu Shihao. In Liu Shihao''s puzzled gaze, Xia Yu commanded: "This is the title and contract of the largest Norwegian forest bar I just passed by. You are assigned to the company''s name." "Then make a plan to circle Dejili Street, Wellington Street, Wyndham Street, Anli, Renshouli, and Ronghuali into a mid-to-high-end consumer area featuring bars and restaurants. For''Lan Kwai Fong'', if the funds are not enough, they will find bank support to purchase all the properties. "I hope that''Lan Kwai Fong'' can become a landmark attraction in Central, and even a special attraction in Hong Kong." "The plan is made, let me see first!" Liu Shihao immediately responded with full motivation: "Yes, I will set up a team to make plans as soon as I go back!" Liu Shihao is particularly fascinated by the business district, and he is naturally looking forward to being able to create a different business district than the real estate business district at this time. Later, Xia Yu returned to Jiuding Securities Company. I happened to see someone reporting to Wang Qi about the acquisition of shares in Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company. After dismissing his subordinates, Wang Qi quickly followed Xia Yu into the office. "Chairman, the other two groups also ended the acquisition, acquiring a total of 6.7% of the equity." "In addition to the previous acquisitions, we now hold a total of 90.2% of the shares of Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company!" As soon as he was seated, Wang Qi took the initiative to report without waiting for Xia Yu to ask. Xia Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, 9.8% of the wholly-owned acquisition was completed, and now the general trend is mine. You order people to acquire the remaining equity." "Afterwards, I will contact Yang Dajun, general manager of Wharf, and transfer the Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company to him and merge with the Star Ferry." At this time, the Hong Kong short-distance ferry market is almost dominated by the Heung Kong Yau Ma Tei Ferry and Star Ferry. The merger of the two companies will unify the Hong Kong short-distance ferry market. The disappearance of competition can reduce expenditures, while optimizing services can also save costs and make money easily. Wang Qi nodded and replied, "I remember it!" After speaking, he continued with a face of shame: "Chairman, I just called Shen Bi, but he proposed two plans. I didn''t dare to agree, so the negotiation was forced to stop." Xia Yu frowned slightly, and said in a straightforward voice, "Tell him the original request!" "Yes!" Next, Wang Qi recounted Shen Bi''s plan in detail. After speaking, he waited quietly for Xia Yu''s order. I saw Xia Yu sneer: "Shen Bi, this is going to take us off, and want me to take him to make money, huh..." "It seems that I am making money too fast, even Shen Bi is jealous, and I want to put my hand into my securities company, daydreaming!" Wang Qi immediately echoed: "Yes, so after he proposed this kind of plan, I directly rejected it." "But according to the first plan, we can only acquire 21.75% of the equity, plus what we already have, only 44.5%." "Although it is the largest shareholder, as long as HSBC gives 10% of the equity to Qi Dezun, Qi Dezun¡¯s equity will reach 44.8%, which is 0.3% more than ours. Seize the position of the largest shareholder." "Because of this, the importance of HSBC''s 10% equity will be elevated several levels." What Wang Qi said, Xia Yu also thought of it. Shen Bi had too many calculations, so he didn''t suffer. This was what made Xia Yu unhappy. However, Xia Yu is not surprised. Since the rise of his Jiuding Bank, it is destined that he and Shen Bi will not be too close. After all, he has transferred too much business with HSBC to Jiuding Bank. With less cooperation, the relationship will be weakened. It''s no wonder that Shen Bi wants to maximize his interests, just because he can''t get too many potential interests in the future. "let me see!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, contemplating his eyebrows, thinking about how to respond, and smoothly took all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa in his hands. After a long time, Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and thought of a way. Shen Bi''s move has already limited the maneuvering space. In this case, if he wanted to break the game, he could only jump out of Shen Bi''s chessboard and recreate a plan that Shen Bi could accept. After Xia Yu made the decision, he talked to Wang Qi, Wang Qi''s eyes lit up and he nodded frequently. "Keep busy, I''ll talk to Shen Bi this afternoon! Try to solve it this afternoon." "Yes!" ... Three o''clock in the afternoon. Xia Yu arrived at HSBC on time and came to Shen Bi''s office. After a few polite sentences, Xia Yu went directly to the topic. "Mr. Shen, he has already told me the plan you told Wang Qi this morning." "Thanks to Mr. Shen for his recognition of Jiuding Securities, but Jiuding Securities does not intend to introduce new shareholders!" "But I have prepared another win-win plan. Would you like to listen?" Shen Bi, who was still a little disappointed, immediately became interested. He leaned forward slightly and said expectantly, "Mr. Xia, please!" Before speaking, Xia Yu asked: "Mr. Shen thinks Jiuding Securities is better than HSBC Securities, right?" Shen Bi said vaguely: "Everyone has different opinions, and Mr. Xia can understand it this way." Xia Yu did not entangle this point, and continued with a smile: ¡°In fact, HSBC wants to achieve greater results in the securities industry, and it does not necessarily have to replace equity with Jiuding Securities. We can establish another joint venture company, and both parties will invest in their own With unique resources, I believe that this joint venture will bring together the advantages of the two of us, and the prospects will definitely be very good!" "What does Mr. Shen think of this approach?" Shen Bi was silent. He pondered for a long time before asking, "How about the equity distribution of this joint venture company?" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and the secret word was completed. However, in order to prevent Shen Bi from gaining a bargaining chip in the subsequent Hutchison Whampoa equity negotiations, Xia Yu kicked the ball back: "Mr. Shen, the method of equity allocation is up to you, whether we are 50-50 or yours. Eleven, we are forty-nine, or vice versa, I have no objection!" Different shareholding ratios will determine who will lead the company. However, Xia Yu didn''t care about this joint venture company. HSBC wanted him to make money. If HSBC chooses the fifty-one equity, he is eager to invest less resources, and it is not his business if the development is not good, but Shen Bi''s plan will come to nothing. Shen Bi also saw Xia Yu''s attitude and understood that he would not take advantage of Xia Yu. After thinking about it, he said, "We should hold half of the equity, and the position of general manager will be taken in turn by both of us." "The registered capital of the new company is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and our offices are 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The rotation period of the general manager is two years, and you will be the first one!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "No problem." Isn¡¯t it just taking HSBC to make money? It is not his decision to invest in it, as long as it avoids conflicts with Jiuding Securities Company, there are so many investment directions, Jiuding Securities Company can''t finish it. With a joint venture securities company, Xia Yu can instead use the huge resources of HSBC, and it will be less difficult to acquire the company at that time And because it is not directly under the banner of Jiuding Securities, it will not affect To Jiuding Bank. On the whole, he made a profit, and HSBC also made a profit. It is a proper win-win situation. Thinking that the company still had one name missing, Xia Yu didn''t argue, and asked, "Mr. Shen, do you have any good names for the joint venture securities company we established?" Shen Bi thought for a while and said, "It''s better to take one word from each of our two companies and call it Dingfeng Securities. What do you think?" With Jiuding at the front and HSBC at the back, it seems that Shen Bi also knows the primary and secondary relationship. "Good name, this is it!" "Mr. Shen, we have finished talking about the joint venture company. We should talk about the equity of Hutchison Whampoa." "Transfer all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC to me, and you will charge a reasonable price." ps: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! v3 Chapter 711: Get equity at a discount Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... Rebirth of the most powerful hero Chapter 711 to take down equity at a discount (first more votes) Shen Bi pretended to think for a moment, and said solemnly: "It stands to reason that such a large shareholding is worth more than 2 billion yuan. Even if I, as the chairman of the board of directors, cannot decide in one word, we need to bid for external bidding." "Since we are partners, I also take the responsibility to sell to you directly. If the price is too high, it seems insincere. I don''t want to pay a premium. I will calculate the price based on the current market value." "But I have two prerequisites.: "The first condition is that Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s original commercial affairs with HSBC cannot be invalidated, and future Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s commercial affairs will also be conducted through HSBC." "The second condition is that I hope that Mr. Xia can give HSBC a private guarantee and communicate with the mainland on his behalf to ensure that HSBC can smoothly transition and operate normally in the future." Hearing this, Xia Yu looked ugly and choked: "Mr. Shen, these conditions do not seem to be mentioned by a partner. I did not feel the sincerity. What I paid is far from equal to what HSBC Bank received. This is not fair!" Shen Bi also knew that his request was excessive, but Xia Yu was the best candidate for him to make the request. Of course he would not let it go if he caught the opportunity. There is always bargaining for buying and selling. If he doesn''t raise the price, there is little room for Xia Yu to bargain! Therefore, Shen Bi said solemnly, "Mr. Xia, I think the price I offered is normal. If I bid for external bidding, I believe that many people will be willing to take over the equity of Hutchison Whampoa. Let alone, Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng and others are absolutely interested." "And as long as the news is released, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa will rise, so I promised not to bid privately to transfer the equity to you, which has caused HSBC to suffer huge economic losses, and I have to bear certain risks." Xia Yu disapproved and denied: "Mr. Shen, we are all sensible people. Needless to say, these loopholes are full of reasons. Only I can successfully take this equity in Xiangjiang, and I already hold part of the equity. These people may not dare to take the risk!" "Anyway, the equity in my hand is only worth more than one billion. I can afford the loss completely. The big deal will be dragged to the bankruptcy of Hutchison Whampoa. I believe that I will always have my share when the assets are liquidated!" "But if I do this, I will wait for a while, but HSBC will suffer a lot of losses now and in the future!" "Since you have found me as a guarantor, you should have experienced careful consideration. Maybe Baosheng can do it, but I don''t think he will necessarily agree to your request." Xia Yu''s sharp words directly made Shen Bi speechless. Seeing that the time was almost right, Xia Yu calmed down and said, "Mr. Shen, might as well listen to my request." "The commercial undertakings of HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa are actually a burden for HSBC. Now Hutchison Whampoa is in a quagmire and loses money year after year. HSBC''s loans to it are actually non-performing loans." "If I can successfully take over Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC can also avoid losses, but if you force Hutchison Whampoa to only have business dealings with HSBC, it is absolutely impossible. I can only promise you. Before each of the previous cooperations expires, the cooperation will not be terminated early. After that, I will rely on my own ability. If HSBC can''t give more favorable terms than other banks, I can''t let myself lose, right?" "As for the second point you mentioned, my relationship with the mainland is actually normal, but I also know that you are worried about the future of HSBC. I can help you as much as I can, and I believe that if we are close, and My strength is strong enough, I believe they will definitely give this face." "You should be aware that there are great risks in any matter involving politics." "I paid such a high price. It would be too unkind if you talk about parity. Don''t say anything about the price increase after exposure. If HSBC throws 5% of its equity into the market, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa will plummet. ." "So I think that Hutchison Whampoa''s price should be discounted by 60% is the most appropriate!" After a rebuttal, Xia Yu finally showed his fangs. In the previous life, Shen Bi dared to discount five floors privately, sold 22% of the equity to Li Jiacheng, and also allowed Li Jiacheng to take credit. It only took a few hundred million to get the equity. Knowing Shen Bi''s concerns and plans, how could Xia Yu not take the opportunity to bargain. Even if you can¡¯t enjoy Li Jiacheng¡¯s treatment because of different circumstances, it¡¯s better to be cheaper. Sure enough, Shen Bi hesitated. It is precisely because of HSBC''s future that he made such a request. Now Xia Yu is clear about his worries and plans, and he takes the opportunity to ask for a price so that he can use his current money to buy future help for HSBC. Small money now or big money in the future? After considering this minute, Shen Bi finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. But what we can fight for is to try our best. He looked straight and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, the discount of 60% is too low. I can''t deal with it. Maybe the chairman of the board of directors is not stable. I agree to a discount of 95% at most." Xia Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, you don''t have to lie to me. Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that no one can sit except you as the chairman of the board of HSBC. Ninety-five percent is too high, but I won''t make it difficult for you. If I do, I will take a step back and the discount will be 65%." "No, no..." ... After a lot of bargaining, the final price was set at the eighth discount. Xia Yu invested 1.745 billion and took over 31.75% of the shares held by HSBC. In addition, there will be future political guarantees and cooperation. An additional HSBC ally is also a big profit for Xia Yu. Originally, the relationship between the two parties was very good, but because of the emergence of Jiuding Bank, they were again alienated. Fortunately, Hong Kong¡¯s banking market is so large. There are as many as hundreds of local banks plus foreign bank branches. HSBC and Jiuding Bank are not absolute competitors. Part of the competition is acceptable. Maybe it can stimulate the other side to do more. Grow well. Now that the negotiation is settled, the next step is simple. After signing the contract, Xia Yu first called Liu Tianci and asked him to transfer the account immediately. Ten minutes later, a huge sum of 1.745 billion was transferred to HSBC''s account. After the confirmation, Shen Bi smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia is really strong, and he has spent 1.7 billion in funds in such a short time. There is no second person in Xiangjiang!" Xia Yu smiled politely: "Mr. Shen, you said this wrong Isn''t there a second person in this room now?" Shen Bi was taken aback, and then laughed: "Mr. Xia thinks of me too much. Excluding the money you just paid, now the HSBC bank account is less than 500 million. If you give me two days, I might still be able to Raised." Xia Yu also knew that this involved HSBC''s commercial secrets, and Shen Bi was definitely not telling the truth, so he no longer struggled with this unsolvable topic. "Mr. Shen, I have something to do, so I will go back first." "Please help keep it secret for a few days about our cooperation." Xia Yu solemnly pleaded. Anyway, I sold Hutchison Whampoa, and didn''t care about making Qi Dezun a little bit more miserable. Shen Bi smiled and nodded: "It''s okay. Don''t worry about us!" "Then thank you Mr. Shen!" "Farewell!" "I will give it to you!" v3 Chapter 712: Intimidate Qi Dezun Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... Back at the company, Xia Yu saw Wang Qi''s smiling face. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has completed another major task. In addition, it has acquired a total of 54.5 percent of Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s shares, together with the shares it had previously hidden for more than a year. This means that the sky of Hutchison Whampoa has changed, and the surname is no longer Ying but Hua! Although the equity in Jiuding Securities Company''s hands will be taken away by Chairman Xia Yu, Wang Qi doesn''t care. Anyway, this matter was done in the hands of Jiuding Securities. As soon as the news spreads, Jiuding Securities¡¯ reputation will spread throughout Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, and Jiuding Securities¡¯ corporate M&A consulting business will usher in an explosion period. "Wang Qi, carry out according to the plan and push down the share price of Hutchison Whampoa." Xia Yu was also in a happy mood. Without HSBC, the second shareholder with strong funds, no one could stop him if he suppressed the stock price. He can do whatever he wants! Whether it is to force Qi Dezun or to reduce the cost of subsequent acquisitions, it is the best way to suppress the stock price. "Yes!" Wang Qi readily responded. "Help me make an appointment with Qi Dezun tomorrow morning!" After giving orders, Xia Yu left easily. He intends to take Elena and Li Qian and others out to sea for fun. Elena will return to England in two days, and Xia Yu has to hurry up and entertain her. Happy hours are always short. The next day, Xia Yu accompanied Elena and Li Qian to the orphanage to visit the children, and then left before 9:30. At ten o''clock in the morning, Qi Dezun looked at Xia Yu sitting opposite with a solemn expression in a luxury hotel box in Xiangjiang Central. Yesterday, the market did not know where the negative news about Hutchison Whampoa came from, and then some sell orders appeared on the market. Although there were acquisitions from time to time, the stock price still showed a downward trend. Although the public''s attention was mainly attracted by Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate, it still attracted Qi Dezun''s attention, and he ordered an expedited investigation. When the market opened at 9:00 this morning, Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s share price plunged slightly. Then he received a call from Jiuding Securities Company, Wang Qi asked him to meet Xia Yu at ten o''clock. In an instant, Qi Dezun knew that he was going to suffer. Xia Yu had no good contacting him, and it was very likely that he was responsible for the decline in Hutchison Whampoa''s stock price. He stepped up to raise funds and arranged for the back hand, only to see Xia Yu at the agreed place before he was about to be late. Seeing Qi Dezun''s dignified face, Xia Yu said with a light smile: "Mr. Qi Dezun, you seem to have a bad complexion. Is it due to poor sleep? I know that there is a Chinese medicine that can effectively regulate the quality of sleep." Qi Dezun was very hostile to Xia Yu, and said with a cold face: "Mr. Xia must be mistaken. My face has always been good. I wonder if Mr. Xia asked me out today. Is there anything wrong?" Seeing Qi Dezun''s attitude, Xia Yu raised his brows, and suddenly didn''t want to talk with him, and said directly: "It''s something, Mr. Qi Dezun, I want to buy your equity in Hutchison Whampoa. You make a price." Qi Dezun was immediately angry, and decisively refused: "Mr. Xia, don''t think about it. The equity in my hand will not be sold. I don''t think we need to talk about it." "Even if you suppress the stock price, you cannot take Hutchison Whampoa away. My stock will not be sold, let alone HSBC, so just give up." "I suggest you buy Wheelock or Swire Group, these two are more suitable for you!" At this time, I still want to change Xia Yu''s mind. Where should Wheelock and Swire Group go to the disaster? What an international joke! Xia Yu''s face shifted, looking at Qi Dezun with a faint smile, seeing the latter''s expression getting worse. Xia Yu just smiled and asked, "Mr. Qi Dezun, you are not HSBC. How do you know that Mr. Shen Bi will not sell me the shares of Hutchison Whampoa?" Qi Dezun''s heart sank suddenly, suddenly feeling the clouds over his head. But he still didn''t want to believe that, just to be on the safe side, he tried Shen Bi last night. Shen Bi also said that the shares are in the hands of HSBC and will not be sold to anyone. Could it be that Shen Bi lied to him? Sold him? "Mr. Qi Dezun, Hutchison Whampoa has been stuck in a quagmire these years, even HSBC Bank can''t stand it anymore, otherwise you won''t retreat behind the scenes and let Werry board the front desk." "But Hutchison Whampoa has been losing money every year in the past few years. Do you think that with Veri''s ability, how many years can it last?" "You are now sixty-two years old and have worked so hard all your life. When you are old, you should try to enjoy life, right?" Xia Yu continued to persuade. Although Qi Dezun is not in good health, he is not bad, and he just shook his head and refused: "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your concern. I think my body can last another 10 to 20 years, and I can make more contributions to society!" Xia Yu laughed secretly in her heart. You, a short-lived ghost, want to live another ten or twenty years. You can gameover in 1981. Perhaps in 1981, after Qi Dezun''s death, Xia Yu could easily take his equity. But Xia Yu didn''t want to wait so long. With this time, Hutchison Whampoa does not know how good development is in his hands! Since he still held the illusion that HSBC would not sell him, Xia Yu felt that he should be made aware of reality. "Mr. Qi Dezun, I can tell you the news that HSBC has transferred all the shares to me. With my existing shares, my shareholding in Hutchison Whampoa has exceeded 51%." "It''s just that the news hasn''t spread out. I don''t think it''s the point where you can fight to death or death. A peaceful solution is best for you, isn''t it?" Qi Dezun felt like a bolt from the blue sky, his whole body became dull, and the figure of 51% kept repeating in his mind. After a while, Qi Dezun frantically shook his head: "This is impossible. I have been observing the stock price since last year. Even if you acquire the shares of HSBC, you cannot acquire more than 19% of the shares." Seeing that Qi Dezun didn''t give up, Xia Yu could only sacrifice his ultimate move. He took out the copy of the equity certificate from the bag, turned it around and put it on the desk and pushed it to Qi Dezun, making a gesture of asking: "Since Mr. Qi Dezun doesn''t believe it, you might as well take a look at this first." Qi Dezun grabbed the equity certificate and looked at it word by word, for fear of misreading a word. Adding the numbers one by one, the final result made it hard for him to accept. Sure enough, more than 51%! This means that without the outside world knowing, Hutchison Whampoa has changed hands. As long as Xia Yu is willing, he can be removed from the position of chairman of the board of directors at any time. And Xia Yu will have the absolute right to operate Hutchison Whampoa. Any of his opinions may be vetoed by Xia Yu. The only thing he can do is to engage in small tricks that are not on the table. This is how to do? Do you really want to sell the equity to Xia Yu? But he is not reconciled. He has worked so hard to develop Hutchison International from a company worth billions of dollars to today¡¯s leading British-funded consortium. After more than ten years, he has devoted much effort to Hutchison Whampoa. , Poured too much affection on Hutchison Whampoa. Now he was taken away so suddenly, how could he accept it! But the reality is too helpless Even if he doesn''t want to, Xia Yu has already snatched Hutchison Whampoa. Now it''s up to him what kind of ending he wants to choose! Seeing Qi Dezun''s face constantly changing, Xia Yu knew that he was fighting fiercely inside. He hesitated for a while, in order to avoid arousing Qi Dezun''s rebellious psychology, he still planned to wait for him to express his stance before deciding whether to threaten him or not. Tick ??tick! The hands on the watch kept turning, and time passed by. Xia Yu just looked at Qi Dezun quietly. Finally, five minutes passed. Qi Dezun gradually recovered. He stared at Xia Yu blankly and asked, "If I don''t agree, what will you do after you walk out of this door?" ps: Ask for a monthly recommendation ticket, thank you! v3 Chapter 713: Monopolize 3 industries Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "Then I will exercise the rights of a major shareholder, take over the board of directors, and immediately start the company''s rectification and divest Hutchison Whampoa''s non-performing assets." "I think it is necessary for the three businesses of real estate and infrastructure, ports, and retail to be separated and developed separately. Financing and share expansion are certain." Although Xia Yu said this lightly, but it blew up in Qi Dezun''s ear like thunder, making him look violent. "Mr. Xia, are you threatening me?" Qi Dezun''s face flushed with anger, his eyes burst into flames. Although Hutchison Whampoa directly or indirectly controls more than two hundred companies, it is the three major businesses that are most dazzling. It is these three businesses that contribute huge profits that have allowed Hutchison Whampoa to support it until now. Needless to say, real estate and infrastructure are the three major businesses. Relying on the huge land reserves of the British consortium, Hutchison Whampoa is properly one of the big landlords in Hong Kong, and it is owned by the top ten real estate developers. Port business is the cornerstone of Hutchison Whampoa. Among the 24 berthing ports in Hong Kong, the Hutchison Whampoa family owns 14 berths, especially the container cargo port. Hutchison Whampoa accounts for the majority. Xiangjiang Port is one of the busiest international container ports in the world. It is backed by the mainland and is also a major hub port in the global supply chain. It has ranked first in the world in terms of container throughput for several consecutive years. With such data, one can imagine the terrifying profits and powerful influence made by Hutchison Whampoa. As for the third retail business, the most important ones are Watsons and ParknShop. Now Xia Yu''s Wanning Pharmacy lags behind Watsons in Xiangjiang, let alone Xiangjiang! As for Baijia Supermarket, established in 1973, it was the largest supermarket in Hong Kong until Xia Yu''s Wellcome Supermarket emerged, but Baijia Supermarket was still slightly ahead of Wellcome Supermarket. If these three businesses were to be divested and then financed to expand their shares, Qi Dezun could fully imagine that his shareholding ratio would have been shrinking even when he couldn''t afford to pay, and would eventually be cleared out. Xia Yu not only has the money to spend with him, but also has the absolute management rights of Hutchison Whampoa, he can''t resist. If Xia Yu''s heart is darker, he can completely divide Hutchison Whampoa and throw his bad assets to him. Then he will be scammed to death! Xia Yu shook his head disapprovingly: "Mr. Qi Dezun, this is not a threat, I just give you a kind reminder." The right way is to know the current affairs as a brilliant. After Qi Dezun''s anger was over, he gradually recovered his calmness. He knew that he would definitely lose if he came hard, so he could only try the soft one last. I saw Qi Dezun calmly saying: "Mr. Xia, in fact, you have already obtained so much equity. I will not affect his control of the company. Moreover, Hutchison Whampoa has grown to this level in my hands. I understand it very well. If we two cooperate, I believe Hutchison Whampoa will definitely get out of the quagmire faster." With no room for resistance at all, I still want Xia Yu to lead him to make money. Let''s be whimsical! Xia Yu gave no face and said bluntly: "Mr. Qi Dezun, I am more confident and don''t need your help." "So you still make a price!" "Right, let me say one more thing. HSBC sold me the equity at a discount of 80%. If you don''t believe me, take a closer look at the contract!" Qi Dezun looked at the contract with an ugly expression, and the transfer price written on it was equivalent to about 80% of yesterday''s stock price. "Damn Shen Bi, **** HSBC, absolutely a British traitor! Should be on the gallows!" Qi Dezun cursed in his heart. Asking him to transfer the equity is his life, how can it be transferred at a low price, this is absolutely impossible! He shook his head suddenly: "Mr. Xia, HSBC is HSBC, and I am me. If you want to buy my shares at the transaction price with HSBC, it is absolutely impossible. I would rather fight with you to the end. Anyway, wait for me. I''m dead, I can''t take this money!" Xia Yu was overjoyed, and Qi Dezun''s position was finally shaken. It would be good if he was willing to sell. Isn''t it just that the price is not satisfied? That''s it! Next, Xia Yu began to discuss the price with Qi Dezun. You come and I go between the two sides. In the end, Xia Yu directly threatened and said that it was a big deal to raise shares. Only then did Qi Dezun soften, and finally fought for one, not based on today''s stock price, but based on the stock price at the close of yesterday afternoon, to transfer all the shares to Xia Yu at a fair price. Yesterday afternoon, Xia Yu had asked Wang Qi to suppress the stock price. At the close of the market, the total market value of Hutchison Whampoa was 6.74 billion Hong Kong dollars. Qi Dezun''s shareholding ratio is 34.8%, valued at HK$2.345 billion. At 4:20 in the afternoon, all the procedures of the transaction were finally completed. Qi Dezun''s account had more than two billion more liquid funds, but he couldn''t be happy. Xia Yu couldn''t control Qi Dezun''s mood, as he was counting the fruits of his victory. After acquiring the shares of HSBC and Qi Dezun, Jiuding Securities holds a total of 89.3% of Hutchison Whampoa. The funds consumed 4.9 billion Hong Kong dollars. Fortunately, he had previously deposited 3 billion U.S. dollars in a special account of Jiuding Securities. Otherwise, looking at the entire Xiangjiang, no one would be able to spend such a large sum of money in such a short period of time. There is still 10.3% equity in the market, and Xia Yu plans to privatize Hutchison Whampoa in accordance with the previous routine. Of course, Hutchison Whampoa will definitely be listed in the future, but the current HSI is still far from Xia Yu''s expectations. Even if it wants to go public, it will take another two years to list the company at its peak. Prior to this, first put effort into integrating Hutchison Whampoa with its own assets to maximize resource utilization. Wharf originally had three berthing ports, and Hutchison Whampoa owns 14. As a result, of the 24 berthing ports in Hong Kong, Xia Yu owns 17 ports, more than 70%. No matter what the ship king, as long as he wants to do business, he has to look at Xia Yu''s face. With Watsons and the Wanning Pharmacy he originally owned, Xia Yu instantly monopolized the retail market of Xiangjiang medicinal materials and cosmetics and health care products, which is estimated to reach 80%. He also owns the No. 1 Baijia Supermarket and the No. 2 Wellcome Supermarket. He controls more than 70% of the retail trade in Hong Kong. In other words, from the moment of the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, three industries in Hong Kong have been substantially monopolized by him. At the same time, Xia Yu arranged for Wang Qi to privatize, and ordered Standard Law Firm and Standard Accounting Firm to settle in Hutchison Whampoa to take over the group''s financial and legal affairs. The next day, the news of Hutchison Whampoa''s application for privatization came out. Xiangjiang was shocked. After inquiring about it, all the bigwigs were shocked by the handwriting of Jiuding Securities. However, Xia Yu quietly sent Elena onto the plane. It was not until the plane took off that Xia Yu left to return The first thing to go back to, first went to Hutchison Whampoa, and after calming people''s hearts, he urgently convened Jiuding. High-level consortium meeting. There was only one theme of the meeting, which was to divide the cake. More than 200 companies formed by Hutchison Whampoa were screened out. The heads of each company selected companies that could strengthen themselves and reduce the burden on Hutchison Whampoa. Hutchison Whampoa is too bloated. Many companies are actually very good, but they have suffered losses due to management problems or corruption. Xia Yu believes that these companies should be able to rejuvenate after being annexed by companies under the Jiuding Consortium. The screening period lasts for one month, and the meeting will be held again one month later for formal division. There was also an episode after the meeting. Lin Sen, the general manager of IKEA Furniture, reported to Xia Yu that the Swedish IKEA Group rejected his request for acquisition and shareholding. Xia Yu didn''t care, and immediately decided to launch his own brand "House of Actuality" plan. In the next few days, the outside world continued to harass. After Xia Yu asked Wang Qi to deal with it, he went to his other financial company-Galaxy Fund in a low-key manner. v3 Chapter 714: Long oil futures Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... During this period of time, he bought and bought lavishly, and the funds flowed away like water. Bleeding without blood supply is not enough. An opportunity that he has been eyeing for a long time is about to appear, and it is about huge profits, and he is about to go north soon, so Xia Yu can''t help it. When he came to the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu gathered Xia Yu who was able to do his job and asked about the specific situation. In the conference room, Liu Xiao introduced: "Boss, according to reports from the United States by Xue He, Song Yang and others, the 400 million US dollars now brought to the United States has been used to leverage ten times, and the total 4 billion US dollars have all bought oil. Futures, an average of US$20.4 per barrel of oil." "The whole process took two months and eight days. Now the daily trading volume of oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange has exceeded 50,000 lots, with an average daily trading volume exceeding one billion US dollars..." After listening to Liu Xiao''s introduction, Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly and he was in a good mood. "Yes, after the meeting, let Song Yang, Xue He and others continue to stick to it. If there is nothing to do, it is good for them to improve the branch in New York and study New York''s financial market more!" "Okay, I will convey your words to them!" Liu Xiao immediately responded. This time, Xia Yu is eyeing the international crude oil futures market and intends to make a fortune. From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Iran stopped exporting oil for 60 days due to political turmoil. Xia Yu also hyped up international gold prices. At that time, because the time was not ripe, the New York Mercantile Exchange officially listed oil futures contracts in November last year. At the time when the market opened up, the plate was too small, and Xia Yu had to give up doing long oil futures. But it''s different now, it''s been nearly a year. The oil futures market on the New York Mercantile Exchange has expanded by many times. The average daily trading volume has exceeded 50,000 lots, which is equivalent to 50 million barrels of daily trading volume. At the current price of more than 20 US dollars per barrel of oil , The average daily transaction volume reached one billion US dollars. The market has expanded, and Xia Yu will certainly not ignore it. Because he knew that following the historical trajectory, a practice that shocked the world would happen, that is, the Iranian hostage crisis. At the beginning of this month, despite the protests of the Iranian authorities, the United States allowed the former Pahlavi to go to the United States for treatment, which once again aroused the Iranian people''s strong dissatisfaction with the US government. The U.S. government did not expect that on November 4, a group of Iranian students would rush into the U.S. Embassy in Iran and kidnap 63 embassy personnel. This is undoubtedly a big slap to the American face of the world police. In order to maintain the dignity of the United States as a great power, then President Carter will announce on November 12 that he will no longer import oil from Iran, and on November 14 will freeze all Iranian accounts and deposits in the United States, totaling eight billion U.S. dollars in assets. In response, Iran also announced an oil embargo on the United States. What happened in just over ten days will cause the global oil supply and demand relationship to fall into chaos, which will spread panic throughout the market. In order to prevent possible oil shortages and price increases, users in Western oil-consuming countries frantically snapped up oil and increased inventories. As a result, the daily demand for oil was 3 million barrels higher than usual, which intensified the situation of oil shortage. Coupled with the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war in September next year, oil production in the Gulf region has once again decreased, further pushing up international crude oil prices. At the end of last year, the international oil price was only 13 U.S. dollars a barrel, but miscellaneous goods have risen to 20 U.S. dollars a barrel. Xia Yu is very clear that this is far from the upper limit of international oil prices. By the end of the year, international oil prices can rise to the level of 45 to 50 US dollars a barrel. With such a good opportunity, you only need to buy oil futures now and wait a year to create a profit of four or five billion US dollars. Such a good thing will not be found! If this opportunity to overtake and accumulate capital on corners is missed, then Xia Yu, as a rebirth, would have failed too much. There are more places to spend money in the future, and he has to plan for a rainy day to dig around. Earning profits from international gold at the beginning of next year will be enough for him to squander for a year. By the end of next year, he will be able to reap the profits of international oil futures and replenish ammunition in time. After telling Liu Xiao and others some things, Xia Yu finally left with peace of mind. November 1, with a clear sky, is a good day to travel. Dressed in casual clothes, Xia Yu, in a low-key manner, boarded the ship going north with Master Li Chunqiu and his subordinates. This time, Xia Yu has already passed through, and will not be fancied. The name is to check the company''s operation in Pengcheng, and the general itinerary is also set, also to facilitate the mainland to arrange personnel to connect. When he got off the boat and set foot on Pengcheng, Li Chunqiu couldn''t help tearing his eyes. "I finally set foot on this land again..." Listening to Li Chunqiu with white beards fluttering, Xia Yu was deeply moved. "Master, the motherland welcomes you back!" An accompanying staff member said cleverly. "Thank you!" Li Chunqiu said gratefully. After sighing, Li Chunqiu cleared up his mood and joined Xia Yu to attend a welcome lunch prepared locally. After the luncheon, the group of Xia Yu began to diverge, each acting in accordance with the original work arrangements. Among them, Zhang Gufeng, general manager of Taiji Pharmaceutical, and Wang Bowen, general manager of Yangshengtang, went to YunGuiQian and other places in turn to find suitable places to build Chinese herbal medicine planting bases. There is also a group of people who have scattered to various parts of the mainland to purchase ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions, striving to get as many ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions as possible before the islanders. Before Xia Yu had time to inspect his foundation in the mainland, he went to Wudang Mountain with the impatient Li Chunqiu. When he arrived in Hubei Province, he was inevitably blocked by others, but Xia Yu had to eat another meal under his hospitality. During the dinner, Xia Yu took the opportunity to learn about the situation in Wudang Mountain. In the afternoon accompanied by the staff, Xia Yu and others finally started climbing. Only from the foot of the mountain, the dilapidated and disrepaired railings and statues made Li Chunqiu look ugly. On the contrary, Xia Yu had been mentally prepared for a long time, knowing why Wudang Mountain was like this. Walking along the stone steps, there was no pedestrian on the road, which seemed very desolate. It''s a far cry from the crowded scene of Wudang Mountain. "Isn''t there any plan to allocate funds to repair Wudang Mountain?" A hint of thought flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and he asked the staff accompanying him as he walked. The staff felt embarrassed and hesitated to explain: We have already applied to the above, but there are too many places where money is needed across the country, so we are not sure when it will be approved. " Xia Yu nodded slightly, glanced at Master''s ugly and sentimental face, and a thought emerged in his heart. v3 Chapter 715: Contracting Wudang Mountain? Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... After that, Xia Yu stopped asking more questions, and Li Chunqiu also fell into a sentimental situation. The group remained quiet, and the atmosphere was a little different. I don''t know how long it has been. When a group of people came to the square in front of the Zixiao Palace, they saw a group of Taoist priests waiting. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Li, these are the Daoists of Wudang Mountain, and the head of the Wudang School is Daoist Xuanqing." The staff immediately introduced to Xia Yu and the others, and then led everyone to the group of Taoist priests. As he approached, when he saw the person in charge, Li Chunqiu''s eyes flashed with memories, and the more he looked, the more familiar he became, and his hands trembled a little. "Junior Brother Qianyuan?" Li Chunqiu cried tentatively. The silver-haired Taoist leader wanted to salute everyone, but suddenly heard the old man in Tang suit calling his real name and calling him his junior. The familiar but unfamiliar address broke Ye Qianyuan''s peace of mind. He looked at Li Chunqiu carefully, and coincided with the portrait in his memory, and then tentatively shouted: "Are you Brother Chunqiu?" Ye Qianyuan¡¯s words undoubtedly confirmed Li Chunqiu¡¯s suspicion. He was overjoyed, his eyes flushed, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Qianyuan¡¯s hand, and said excitedly: ¡°Junior Brother Qianyuan, it¡¯s me. , I can see you again, God open your eyes!" "Brother Chunqiu, it''s good for you to live, and it''s good for you to live. After the master took a group of senior brothers down the mountain, there was no news. I thought... God opened my eyes..." Ye Qianyuan was also crying, and he was a little choked when talking excitedly. No one knows how much torment and torture he has endured in his heart for decades. At this time, a senior who was supposed to have died appeared again, and Ye Qianyuan''s depression seemed to have found a breakthrough. The scene where the two old men talked with each other made everyone around them unresponsive. In particular, some of Ye Qianyuan''s disciples and grandchildren had never seen Ye Qianyuan such a posture, and they were all shocked. But they all know one thing, that is, from today onwards, they have one more elder at the level of uncle and uncle ancestor. Fortunately, Li Chunqiu and Ye Qianyuan knew about the current situation and managed to control their excitement in time. The group of people crossed the Zixiao Palace and went to the Supreme Harmony Palace. After arranging their stay, they gathered at the main hall of the Supreme Harmony Palace again. Ye Qianyuan and Li Chunqiu sat at the top. Ye Qianyuan introduced his juniors, and Li Chunqiu also introduced Xia Yu and others in due course, but did not elaborate on Xia Yu''s identity. "Brother, your return is a happy event for my Wudang Taoism. I should inform other factions and hold a return ceremony for you." "But now the people of various factions are not prosperous, far less than when the master was there." Speaking of this, Ye Qianyuan was a little sad and disappointed. Wudang Sect is not the only one in Wudang Mountain. Since its development, Wudang Sect is a collective term. In fact, there are more than a dozen schools in Wudang Mountain, such as Wudang Sanfeng Sect, Wudang Xuanwu Sect, Longmen Sect, Songxi Sect, Chunyang Sect, etc. . The head of the Wudang faction is actually called Dao Zong. He is a representative elected by more than a dozen sects. It is hard to say which faction he is from. Anyway, he is a family. Li Chunqiu shook his head and said, "The ceremony is no longer necessary. Just take me to recognize people. I don''t know how many people of my generation are still alive." "By the way, Junior Brother, is there still my name on the roster? Have other Junior Brothers come back?" "With your name, unless the real news is confirmed, the names on the roster are all there, but so far, only the return of the brother..." "Hey¡­¡­" Although he had guesses, Li Chunqiu was still heartbroken when he heard this. ... Two days passed in a blink of an eye. In the past two days, Li Chunqiu stayed with Ye Qianyuan most of the time. Xia Yuyu did not disturb them, but was accompanied by staff and some Taoist leaders to tour Wudang Mountain. After a tour, Xia Yu discovered that most of the buildings left from ancient times in Wudang Mountain are there, but some are dilapidated. There are also some world-famous buildings that did not appear at this time. Although there are pilgrims who come to Shangxiang along the way, there are very few pilgrims, which shows the quality of life of Taoist priests on Wudang Mountain. However, the Taoist priests always pay attention to pure cultivation, and don''t care about money and other things outside the body, and their own cultivation is enough to fill the stomach. In the evening, Li Chunqiu was finally free, and chatted with Xia Yu in the yard about the past that he had never mentioned to Xia Yu before. "A Yu, I originally..." As Li Chunqiu talked about it, Xia Yu seemed to have returned to that turbulent and war-torn era. Li Chunqiu studied under Xu Benshan, the 11th generation of Taoists in Wudang Mountain and the 16th head of the Longmen School. Unfortunately, Xu Benshan was spotted because of his conspicuous actions, and was finally ambushed by soldiers in Wansong Pavilion outside Zixiao Palace. Fell under the gunshot. After Xu Benshan''s death, Wudang Mountain was closed, but when the Japanese invaded, a group of Taoist priests descended from the mountain to save the people from the fire and water, and a group of brothers were dispersed. Finally, after going round and round, Li Chunqiu came to Xiangjiang. When he wanted to go back, he found that the environment had changed. It was not that he could get back if he wanted to. Although Li Chunqiu didn''t elaborate, Xia Yu knew very well that anything could happen in that chaotic era. Li Chunqiu was lucky to survive the fight against the Japanese invaders. Think of his dozens of brothers who went down to fight against Japanese pirates. So far, he is the only one who has returned to Wudang Mountain. Ye Qianyuan still survived to the present because he was left behind, otherwise if he went down the mountain with them, he wouldn''t know whether he would survive the disaster. "Master, in the future, do you plan to be in Wudang Mountain or return to Xiangjiang?" After listening, Xia Yu asked softly. Li Chunqiu said slowly: "Go back to Xiangjiang, to be able to come back to see my wish that has been in existence for decades, and the official letter has also been given. As long as I want to come back, I can come back anytime." "A Yu, if it were not for you, I wouldn''t know if I could come back here in my life." "Now that Junior Brother Qianyuan is here, I can rest assured, if you can, after you enter the inheritance list tomorrow, donate some money to repair Wudang Mountain!" Li Chunqiu had already mentioned to Ye Qianyuan that Xia Yu was his apprentice. Although he knew the lay disciples, he also learned the true biography. After learning about Xia Yu¡¯s identity, Ye Qianyuan was shocked and immediately agreed that there was such a heavyweight disciple. Wudang Mountain will be much better in the future. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Master, donations are definitely required, but this can only solve a temporary problem. From a long-term perspective, it is only through self-reliance to develop Wudang Mountain." "Now the mainland has no money, even if there is money to repair cultural relics later, the whole China is so big, Wudang Mountain will not get much." Li Chunqiu was taken aback, feeling that what Xia Yu said was reasonable. He also hoped that Wudang Mountain could carry forward, but this was not something he could accomplish. Now Xia Yu seemed to have an idea, and Li Chunqiu''s heart raised expectations. "Ayu what do you think?" Xia Yu explained the thoughts he had put together in the past two days: "I plan to propose a joint venture to the mainland to develop and operate Wudang Mountain." "But the dominant power is on my side. The mainland only enjoys the benefits. In fact, I am not short of this money. The main reason is that I am afraid that after the mainland people live well, the Taoist sacred land like Wudang Mountain will be corroded by money and lost the foundation of Lijiao. ." Master Li Chunqiu gave him a lot of help, and he wanted to give back to Master in this way. Li Chunqiu looked serious and thought, nodded and said: "What you said is impossible. I''m afraid that some people can do everything for money, but ruin the foundation of Wudang Mountain." "I support you to do this, and I will also help you convince Junior Brother Qianyuan, but the main question should be whether the mainland is willing to contract Wudang Mountain!" Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "I always have to try. I think there is a certain chance. I will have someone pass the news tomorrow." "Then try it!" v3 Chapter 716: negotiation Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... The next day, there will be a solemn return ceremony and Xia Yu''s naturalization ceremony. Li Chunqiu said that there is no need to mobilize the teachers, but after Ye Qianyuan talked to the leaders of the various schools in Wudang Mountain, he decided to hold the ceremony. It just so happened that they also learned about Xia Yu''s identity and that the local leaders of Hubei Province would also be there, so they paid more attention. For this kind of ritual, Xia Yu had never experienced it in his previous life and this life, and the first experience felt a bit strange. About twenty minutes before the ceremony began, the local leaders of Hubei province arrived, but they knew that they could not overwhelm the guests, so they sat in the VIP seats and watched. After a complete set of procedures, it took a few hours before Xia Yu was officially naturalized in the Wudang Mountain Taoist inheritance list. From this moment on, Xia Yu can also be counted as a Taoist person, and Xia Yu is also satisfied with such an extra identity. After the ceremony, Xia Yu first met Ye Qianyuan with Li Chunqiu. After only five minutes of talking, Ye Qianyuan, who was familiar with the domestic situation, agreed to Xia Yu''s request. Anyway, Xia Yu is his own, and the specific management will involve them in the establishment of the Wudang Taoist council. With Xia Yu''s relationship, others will have scruples when it comes to Wudang Mountain in the future. After coming out, Xia Yu went straight to the living room and saw Sun Jianghai, the second in command of E Province, and Liu Feng, the second in command of Checheng, who were waiting. Had it not been for the order from Shangfeng to ask them to cooperate with Xia Yu and meet Xia Yu''s reasonable requirements as much as possible, they would not let go of their busy affairs and come here. Seeing Xia Yu coming in, Sun Jianghai and others who were drinking tea immediately got up and greeted Xia Yu with a smile. "Mr. Xia, please sit down!" "Thank you!" "Two please!" After the greeting, Sun Jianghai shook his eyebrows at Liu Feng. The latter immediately understood, put down his teacup and asked, "Mr. Xia, listening to the report from the staff, do you plan to contract Wudang Mountain?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "I have this plan!" "It has always been my master''s wish to return to Wudang Mountain and to carry forward Wudang Mountain. Of course, as a disciple, I must satisfy Master''s wish." "And now I am also a member of Wudang Mountain, so I have more reasons to do this." Liu Feng looked embarrassed: "Mr. Xia, we understand your thoughts, but there is no such precedent in all parts of the country, and Wudang Mountain is not as good as other mountains and forests. It is still a Taoist holy land. Hard to succeed." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you might as well listen to my thoughts first. If it is feasible, then decide, how about?" "please say!" Liu Feng''s expression was serious and he made a listening gesture. "I''m talking about contracting Wudang Mountain. I don''t want to use the property rights of Wudang Mountain. I also know that this cannot be moved. I just need the right to operate tourism development." "At present, the country is still in the stage of solving food and clothing, but in foreign countries, as people''s living standards are improving, the pursuit of spiritual civilization and material enjoyment will be a normal state, which will stimulate the development of the tourism industry. Many foreign cities rely on Tourism features feed the residents of a city." "Think about it. As long as someone comes to travel, it is definitely impossible to leave on the same day. Then they must consume locally, such as food, lodging, travel fares, shopping, etc. As soon as the money circulates, taxes will be generated, which makes the local rich. Residents have also increased local taxes, and there are few other harms." "Just want to attract people to travel, then Wudang Mountain must decorate the facade. Now all kinds of buildings are dilapidated, and there is no spare money in the country to repair. If I contract, I will pay for the repair of Wudang Mountain, and the company will operate Wudang Mountain. In the scenic spot, Wudang Mountain Taoism established a council to participate in the operation, and you only need to send someone to supervise it, you don''t need to send someone to operate, you can enjoy the benefits of the company." Liu Feng is already in his fifties and he has never been abroad, so he is not sure what the tourism industry is. Furthermore, he also knows that no one has the free time and money to travel, but he knows that the domestic economy is set for improvement, and he does not think about some of the things involved. His reason tells him that what Xia Yu said is justified and well-founded, and it might not be a feature of Checheng''s future. As a local parent official, it is impossible not to pay attention to this. At this time, Sun Jianghai, who had remained silent, said, concisely: "Mr. Xia, what do you mean is that you pay for the people, we go out, the Wudang Mountain Taoism participates, and the three parties set up a joint venture?" Xia Yu nodded: "Yes!" Sun Jianghai immediately said: "We need to have a meeting to study whether this is feasible, but let me first assume that if it is feasible, we will have a controlling stake!" Xia Yu immediately shook his head and refused: "Impossible, you don''t have experience in this area. I am an investor and it is impossible for me to lose money. As long as we operate, we can rest assured." A joke, he must hold both controlling rights and operating rights.

Since ancient times, Jiangxi Province has been known as the land of "treasures of wealth, natural treasures and outstanding people". There are not only many cultural relics and historic sites, but also scenic spots can be seen everywhere, such as Sanqing Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Lu Mountain, Wuyi Mountain, Wugong Mountain and so on. Because of the dense forests and mountains in Gan Province, it is precisely because of this condition that it has become an excellent venue for guerrilla warfare. However, it is precisely because of the large number of mountains and forests that the transportation development of Gan Province is relatively lagging. Think about the first batch of high-speed rail networks built in later generations, which were dubbed by the people of Jiangxi Province as the "High-speed Railway Network in Central and Jiangxi Province". , Only the Jiangxi province was missed. Not only the high-speed rail network, but even the 5g network, it also missed the province of Gansu. By the way, Xia Yu''s destination this time was Xia Village, Nanshi Town, Longfeng County, Qianzhou City, Gan Province. The mainland informed him of the location of the ancestral home of the Xia family in Kowloon. Last time he went north, Xia Yu joked that he didn''t know where the Xia family in Kowloon had originated. This sentence was heard by the careful Director Liu. He thought it was a good starting point and reported to the investigation. When the mainland got serious, Xia Yu''s ancestral home was turned upside down. Finally, following an incomplete genealogy provided by Xia Yu, he found Xia Village, Nanshi Town, Longfeng County, Qianzhou City, Gan Province, and confirmed it was correct. After that, he informed Xia Yu and welcomed Xia Yu to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Only when he learned this address, Xia Yu sat at home for a day. At the time, Li Qian wondered if Xia Yu was sick. Of course Xia Yu was not ill, but the address provided by the mainland, which was his hometown in his previous life. Rebirth has been here for almost two years. Xia Yu has not dared to come to the mainland to find his family in his previous life. He has been hesitating and afraid. He wasn''t sure if this world was the world in the previous life, and whether his parents existed. And even if it exists, Xia Dongfang, the father of his previous life, is probably a kid, and he was never born. He was afraid that because of his sudden appearance, he would change the fate of his father Xia Dongfang. If he didn''t meet and bond with his mother in the end, wouldn''t he be lost in his previous life? But he was worried that he would not bother him. Grandpa Xia Xinhua and his father Xia Dongfang lived a hard life, and were born again according to the original trajectory. Then there are two him in this world? This kind of consideration made Xia Yu worry about gains and losses, and he was terrified. He didn''t even think about how to deal with it, so he chose to avoid it temporarily. As he continued to grow in this life, his mentality gradually changed, and finally chose to go with the flow. What he didn''t expect was that a joke he made last year was actually remembered by Director Liu, and he found out his ancestral home in this life. The ancestral home of the previous life and this life turned out to be the same place, he was not sure whether it was a coincidence or fate. But since it happened, he didn''t back down anymore, choosing to face his own inner weakness. So this time going north, when Director Liu mentioned it, Xia Yushun naturally agreed to go back to the hometown to worship the ancestors! Several jeeps drove on the gravel roads, and from time to time they ran over large rocks. The shock absorption performance of the jeep still made the people in the car dizzy. Sitting in the car, the deputy governor of Gan Province, who was in charge of foreign affairs, watched Xia Yu feel restless along the way. He apologized and said: "Mr. Xia, I''m really sorry, we didn''t repair the road here, and you suffered." Xia Yu recovered and smiled indifferently: "Thank you Governor Wu for your concern. I am also a poor child, and this kind of suffering is not taken seriously." "But if I want to get rich, build roads first. The roads have not been repaired. Even if there are many good things in the villages, they can''t be pulled out. There is no economic exchange and life is difficult to get rich." Wu Siming chewed on the words "build roads before getting rich", and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia''s words are smashed into the room. It is true. The road is not easy, and no good things can be sold. But the country is so big that it costs money. There are too many places, you can only plan carefully step by step." After speaking, Wu Siming looked at Xia Yu expectantly. Of course Xia Yu knew what Wu Siming was making. It was nothing more than that many overseas Chinese returned home this year to build bridges and pave the way. Wu Siming hoped that he, the rich man, would also speak up. Regardless of the outcome this time, this place is his hometown. Now that he is rich, it should be in Fuze Township. He smiled faintly and said: "Mayor Wu, no matter what, I have paved the cement road from the village to the town at least. As for the others, I will talk about it later!" Xia Yu also understands people''s mentality, so he didn''t throw too much at one time, otherwise it would be difficult to finish it later. Although only a cement road was found, Wu Siming is also very satisfied, there is still time to come! He said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Xia for his generosity!" Li Bin, the mayor of Nanshi Town, who was leading the way in the co-pilot, was also full of joy. He turned his head excitedly and thanked Xia Yu: "On behalf of the people of Nanshi Town, thank you Mr. Xia." "You are welcome, it should be done!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Li Bin, how far is it?" Seeing Xia Yu''s spirits up, Wu Siming asked Li Bin. "Report to the governor, we will be there in about four miles." Li Bin immediately replied loudly. "That''s coming soon!" "Mr. Xia, please wait a while, it will be here soon!" "Don''t worry, everyone''s safety is the most important!" ... At the entrance of Xia Village, Nanshi Town, a group of villagers, old and young, are gathering here, and a group of people are discussing and discussing what the status of the returnees is. Headed by are some old people with outdated clothes but full of energy, as well as some cadres in the township. "Old Party Secretary, you are getting older, do you want to find a stool to sit on?" A cadre from Nanshi Town suggested to Xia Anshan, the old party secretary and head of Xia Village, who was also the head of the Xia clan. "Yes, grandpa, would you like to sit down for a while first?" Xia Dongming''s eldest son, Xia Dongming, held a child with a tiger head in his arms and said with a drink. Xia Anshan first smiled at the cadres in Nanshi Town, and then looked at his elder son Xia Dongming, and said with full anger: "You just look down on your dad and me like this? Don''t look at me when I''m old, but still use the cane to draw Do you believe it or not?" "Grandpa, why are you hitting Grandpa?" The little boy in Xia Dongming''s arms blinked and asked. Seeing his great-grandson asking this, Xia Anshan suddenly smiled kindly, and said lovingly: "Bao, your grandfather made a mistake, of course I will smoke him. If you make a mistake, your dad will also smoke your ass, so you have to be obedient, know ?" "Don''t spank me, I must be obedient!" "Hahaha..." Seeing Xia Jinbao''s cute appearance and the embarrassing expression of his grandfather Xia Dongming, who was a negative textbook, a group of people burst into laughter. "Well, everyone, pay attention, the calculation time should be almost up!" After everyone laughed enough, Xia Anshan reminded in a deep voice. At this moment, a young man watching the wind at the far junction rushed towards this side, yelling loudly as he ran: "The car is coming! The car is coming!" "The gong and drum team are ready!" Hearing the words of the fourth grandson Xia Yongquan, Xia Anshan said immediately. In fact, needless to say, the gongs and drum teams waiting for a long time on both sides have been energized, looking forward to the intersection with eagerness. Soon, the leading jeep appeared at the intersection. Xia Anshan waved his hand, the gong rang and the drums shook the sky, and a festive folk music was played. ps: Ask for a ticket, thank you! v3 Chapter 718: Longfeng Nanshixia Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... Four jeeps stopped, and Xia Yu and others got off one after another. Looking at the grand welcome ceremony, Xia Yu felt emotional and walked over quickly. Li Bin, the mayor of Nanshi Town, immediately introduced to Xia Yu and others: "Mr. Xia, leaders, this is the old party secretary and head of Xia Village, Mr. Xia Anshan." "Old Party Secretary, this is Mr. Xia from Xiangjiang, this is Mayor Wu of the provincial capital, this is Mayor Zhao of Qianzhou City, and this is Mayor Li of Longfeng County..." Li Bin immediately introduced the two parties. Hearing that so many high-ranking officials came all of a sudden, the gathered villagers were in a commotion, and they all poked their heads to see what the high-ranking officials came from. As for the drum band, they played hard, and I couldn¡¯t wait to hear them all. Where did they come from this ravine? This is a major event. What''s more, the people from Xiangjiang are so young but with such a high status, they are shocked. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu handed the gift in his hand to Xia Anshan, and said modestly: "Master, my name is Xia Yu, I am really ashamed of receiving such a gift from everyone!" Xia Yu, who seemed to be a big man, was so humble that Xia Anshan was happy and took the gift and handed it to his four grandson Xia Yongquan. Seeing the enviable eyes of the people around, Xia Yu smiled faintly and said to Li Wuming: "Second brother, open the car behind and take things off." "Father, I also brought some things. There are a lot of things. You still need to arrange for a few people to take them. Everyone has a share." Xia Anshan nodded happily and nodded a few strong villagers out of the queue. These people immediately rolled up their sleeves and walked towards a car with Li Wuming. Xia Anshan didn''t care about the gifts, and immediately led Xia Yu and others to the ancestral hall not far away. In Xia Village, the place that can accommodate so many people and the most suitable place to welcome Xia Yu is undoubtedly the Xia Family Ancestral Hall. The band led by the happily played and the festive folk music shook the sky, which attracted the attention of many people, and the team became larger and larger. When Xia Yu and others arrived, square tables were already spread out in the yard of the ancestral hall. The tables were full of fruits, melon seeds, rice crackers and hot skins. Xia Yu, Xia Anshan and others were seated at the top table, but Xia Yu just didn''t sit at the top table, and only took the second seat on the left. In the two upper seats, Xia Anshan and another old man were seated. If it were not for a representative from the township, with Li Bin''s status, he would not be eligible to join Xia Yu and others at a table, even though he was sitting at the end, he would still be honored. After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Xia Anshan hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Mr. Xia..." Just as soon as Xia Anshan spoke, Xia Yu interrupted him with a smile, and said modestly: "Master, just call me Xia Yu, just as I am in the countryside, not to mention that I am indeed your junior." For Xia Anshan, Xia Yu knew him, only in his previous life. Xia Anshan was a long-lived person in Xia Village, and his seniority was very high. Xia Yu called his old uncle until Xia Yu died in the third year of the middle school. Although Xia Anshan is now younger, Xia Yu still recognizes it at a glance. . "That''s it!" Xia Anshan said cheerfully, and then continued: "We also checked the genealogy from your side that we brought before, but if you haven''t read it, we will verify it on the spot. What do you think?" "Ok!" "Please genealogy!" Soon, the genealogy was taken out, and the old man sitting beside Xia Anshan opened it carefully. At this time, Xia Anshan asked Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, tell me the names of your ancestors you remember." The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone held their breath and looked at Xia Yu and others in the center. They were also curious as to which one Xia Yu came from. Xia Yu said solemnly, "My father Xia Dahai, mother Chen Mei, grandfather Xia Anping, grandma Li Xiaoqing, great grandfather Xia Dezhong, great grandmother Zhang Hong, great grandfather Xia Kuifa, great grandmother Liu Fudi, our family''s genealogy begins with my great grandfather. ." "It''s right here!" When the genealogy reached a certain position, Xia Anshan pointed to a name and said to Xia Yu. There is a tree diagram on this page. At the top is the name "Longcheng", and then the bottom is divided into three branches, each with a name, from left to right are "Kuifu", "Kuifa", "Kuijin" ". Under these three characters, there are branches. For example, under "Kuifu" are two names "Deming" and "Deguang", and under "Kuijin" are "Deping", "Dezhang" and "De". Sen". Only "Kui Fa" has only one name "Dezhong". After that, the next generation of the German character continued to have many more, all of whom were the An character. Xia Yu also saw the word "Anshan", which is probably the old party secretary in front of him. And Xia Yu''s grandfather Xia Anping''s name is not here, because it was broken from "Dezhong", and the two words "Southern Move" were written in a bracket next to him. Seeing Xia Yu seeing this, Xia Anshan said, "My grandfather told me that he has three brothers. Unfortunately, at that time someone in the clan committed crimes outside, and the government came to the door. In order to prevent the clan from being annihilated, the whole clan dispersed overnight. Fleeing from the ancestral land, the second brother Kuifa happened to take his son Dezhong up the mountain to chop wood, and went south with the other tribesmen." "After twelve years, there were capable people in the clan who became county magistrates, and those who fled back to their ancestral land one after another, some people brought back news that they saw my second grandfather''s family, that is, your grandfather''s family going to Guangdong. He fled in the direction of the province, and there has been no news since then." "Your grandfather''s generation is the Anping generation, so the name Anping is correct, but when it comes to your father and yours, I don''t know why you didn''t name it according to the generation." Xia Yu said immediately: "My father told me that my great-grandfather passed away early. At that time, my grandfather was still a young man, so he probably didn''t have time to tell my grandfather about such things." Xia Anshan nodded understandingly and said, "According to the genealogy, your great-grandfather and my father are cousins, and your grandfather and I are cousins ??within four servers. According to seniority, you should be called my uncle." Xia Yu looked down and bowed solemnly to say hello: "Hello Uncle!" Backed by the ancestral shrine, Xia Anshan accepts the gift calmly regardless of Xia Yu''s identity. After receiving the gift, Xia Anshan asked, "Which relatives are there in your family?" Xia Yu said: "Since my great-grandfather, it has been a single pass. My grandfather has passed away, and there are four people in the family, including my parents and siblings." Hearing that Xia Yu''s grandfather was gone, Xia Anshan said regretfully: "It''s a pity, so counting, your branch has already been out of the fifth service, and there is no longer a family room within the fifth service in the village. The closest thing is me. The pulses of this generation are considered to have just emerged from the fifth server." Xia Yu nodded knowingly: "This is no way, but at least he has already recognized his ancestors." "Uncle, can my lineage be renewed on the genealogy?" Xia Anshan nodded immediately and said, "Of course no problem!" Some descendants of the tribe return to their ancestral land, and they are still rare capable people, how could they not welcome it! "Just continue it now! After the renewal, the ancestor recognition ceremony will be held what do you think?" Xia Anshan asked. Xia Yu nodded happily: "Yes, I will listen to your arrangements!" Xia Anshan immediately confessed to Wu Siming and the others, and then picked up the gong to "clang clang". The clansmen present knew the result was coming, and the clan chief was about to speak. "Today, there is a great joy in Wulongfeng Nanshixia clan, Xia Yu, descendants of''Longchengzu'' and''Kuifagong'', recognized their ancestors and returned to the clan. People of all ethnic groups notified the person in charge of each line and arrived within half an hour The ancestral hall participates in the ancestor recognition celebration!" "Donghui, shoot!" "Dongming, use the village horn to inform the villagers." After a while, there was "cracking" firecrackers at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The atmosphere in the ancestral hall became festive. All the gifts Li Wuming took were moved into the ancestral hall. There were various candies, biscuits and other snacks. The children''s cheers were heard in the ancestral hall. v3 Chapter 719: 800 years Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" at any time... Half an hour later, representatives of the Xia family''s houses and veins all came to the Xia family''s ancestral hall. Even to watch the excitement, many other tribesmen also came and crowded the ancestral hall. Before coming, Xia Anshan and others had confirmed Xia Yu''s genealogy, and actually knew that Xia Yu was a member of the Xia clan, and now it is just a formal walk away ceremony. So they have already prepared all the things needed to worship their ancestors. And today''s day also happens to be a good day. Three animal meals, three teas and five wines were placed on the tribute table in front of the ancestor''s tablet. The old man sitting next to Xia Anshan was a lisheng, and said with vigorous business: "The ceremony of acknowledging the ancestors and returning to the clan begins!" "Firecrackers, please genealogy!" As soon as the voice fell, the sound of firecrackers sounded again, and the genealogy was again asked to be presented on a quaint table in the middle. Everyone looked solemn, even the children were held by the adults and they were no longer allowed to run around. After the sound of firecrackers stopped. The old man said again: "One worship to heaven, two to earth, three to Xia''s ancestors!" After the crowd worshipped for three times, the old man said again: "Begin to worship the ancestors!" Afterwards, led by Xia Anshan, everyone burned incense and waxed in turn. Xia Yu participated in the event, except that Wu Siming and other outsiders kept watching but did not participate. One of them was not a member of the Xia clan, and the other was an official status, which is indeed not suitable for participation. If it hadn''t been for witnessing Xia Yu''s recognition of his ancestors, they wouldn''t be here. After the ancestor worship, the old man retreated behind the scenes, Xia Anshan walked out, his face was solemn, and he said loudly, "Today I, the Nanshi Xia family in Longfeng, welcome Xia Yu''s recognition of his ancestors..." Xia Anshan''s words are mainly divided into four parts. The first is to express welcome to Xia Yu''s recognition of his ancestors and his return to the clan. The second is to introduce the brief introduction of Xia Yu''s relocation, and again to confirm and agree, and finally send it on behalf of the Xia clan as the patriarch. Blessings to Xia Yu''s line. The next few processes were the continuation of the genealogy, the placement of the ancestor tablet of Xia Yu''s line, Xia Yu''s speech, and all the staff once again worship the ancestors. At this point, the old man who had previously retreated behind the scenes once again went out to announce the ceremony of "recognizing the ancestor and returning to the clan". The whole process was very locked, but no one was impatient. It is precisely this kind of tedious and tedious red etiquette that outsiders seem to have, which constitutes the sense of honor and belonging between clans. Whether it is good or bad depends on personal discrimination. After acknowledging the ancestors and returning to the clan, Xia Anshan and others led Xia Yu to pay homage to the ancestor¡¯s tomb. When he returned, it was already around one noon. Fortunately, Xia Anshan had already arranged people to prepare a luncheon. The clansmen worked together to kill pigs and sheep, and used several large stoves to prepare a luncheon of 60 or 70 tables in just a few hours. "Mr. Xia, congratulations on finding your roots, and wish the Xia clan come forth in large numbers and prosper!" Wu Siming smiled and raised his glass to congratulate Xia Yu. He had to be happy. From the morning until now, although he didn''t talk much, mainly watching, and he walked a lot of mountain roads, and he was panting with exhaustion at his age, but he was smiling all the time. No way. At his height, he knew very well that Xia Yu''s recognition of ancestors and returning to the ancestors was actually not just Xia Yu''s alone, but already had great political significance. Not to mention the recognition of the ancestor and returning to the ancestry. The mainland has played an important role in it and contributed a lot to it. After all, as a representative of Xiangjiang, Xia Yu has nothing to rely on the mainland. Instead, he has helped the mainland a lot. This relationship is not stable for the mainland, so the mainland will always try to strengthen the ties between the two sides. And Huaxia is most concerned about blood relationship and clan relationship. Now that Xia Yu recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, the 1,500 or so members of the entire Longfeng Nanshixia clan belong to Xia Yu¡¯s tribe. With this layer of bond, Xia Yu¡¯s communication with the mainland will become closer. Once it is long, there will be more places to work. Everything is going well now. It can be said that the work assigned to Wu Siming from above has been successfully completed. As for the others, at best, they are just icing on the cake. "Thank you, and wish Governor Wu prosperous, and the mainland will flourish!" "Mr. Xia, I wish you..." Wu Siming''s toast was like a signal. Then many people came to toast to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu did not hold a shelf, and a table toast to the elders and clansman. Fortunately, his special status did not dare to force him to drink, and he was also successful in martial arts, his physique improved greatly, his drinking volume was greatly improved, the audience toasted, but only a little dizzy, so that the people at the scene admired him and sighed his massive amount. Every toast in the middle of the toast, Xia Yu was accompanied by a person holding a plate. On the red cloth there were red envelopes like small hills. Each red envelope was sealed with 666 yuan, as long as those present, regardless of men, women or children. There is one per person. After some children are curious about unpacking, the parents exclaimed, and then the atmosphere in the ancestral hall grew stronger. At this time, the people of the tribe had the most intuitive impression of Xia Yu-young and promising, and bold in his shots. No way. In this age, a penny is easy to spend. You can buy two popsicles, let alone 666 yuan. Most families don''t necessarily save so much money in a few years. There were six or seventy tables at the scene, and five hundred people were there. Xia Yu''s red envelope was more than 300,000 yuan, so they were not shocked and awed. Xia Yu didn''t worry about anyone who would dare to be evil. He had the security forces to protect himself. The officials were also protecting him. To be honest, the mainland was more concerned about his safety than he himself. Giving them such a big red envelope is also to give the people more opportunities. After all, there are too many people, and Xia Yu can¡¯t control so many people. If someone is clever enough to use this little money to make a name, his money will be paid. Worth it. Another, he also considered that he is a foreigner, it is more difficult to integrate in, and want to establish prestige in an instant, this method is undoubtedly the most direct and effective. He planned to do something before he came. Without sufficient prestige, he could foresee many difficulties. After eating, drinking, chatting and chatting, it was 4 o''clock in the afternoon. Xia Anshan specially vacated some houses for Xia Yu, Wu Siming and others. Although Wu Siminggui is the vice governor and his business is busy, his task at this time is to accompany Xia Yu throughout the whole process until Xia Yu leaves Gan Province safely. If Xia Yu has any requirements or comments on the way, he can talk to him as soon as possible. He mentioned that he would solve it on the spot or send it back to it as quickly as possible. The next morning, Xia Yu got up early and played Tai Chi in the yard. Suddenly he saw a head sticking out of the door. It was a young guy from yesterday. Xia Yu remembers his name is Xia Yongquan. He is 21 years old this year and is the youngest grandson of Xia Anshan. . Xia Anshan has two sons, the eldest son Xia Dongming and the younger son Xia Donghui. Xia Dongming has two more sons, namely Xia Yongliang and Xia Yongxing, one is twenty-eight years old and the other is twenty-six years old, both of whom are separated. The child who was held in Xia Dongming''s arms yesterday is the son of Xia Yongliang and the great-grandson of Xia Anshan. Xia Anshan¡¯s youngest son, Xia Donghui, is 45 this year, and has two sons Xia Yongchao and Xia Yongquan. Xia Yongchao is married at the age of 24, and only Xia Yongquan is 21. The others are already 17 or 18. When he got married, he still didn''t want to start a family. Yesterday at Xia Anshan¡¯s home, Xia Yu didn¡¯t see Xia Anshan telling him about Xia Yongquan, but Xia Yu could see that Xia Yongquan was more jumping. Although he lowered his head and looked like an honest training, his eyes were always rolling. What are your ideas? When I saw Xia Yu and Li Wuming practicing martial arts in the yard, Xia Yongquan¡¯s eyes widened. Xia Yu¡¯s Tai Chi was fine, and he couldn¡¯t see much after his movements were slow. But Li Wuming¡¯s Xingyi Quan was furious. It''s not a fancy. Perceiving someone coming, Xia Yu and Li Wuming succeeded one after another. Xia Yu smiled and looked at the probe head, Xia Yongquan with a stroke hairstyle, and asked: "Brother Yongquan, what''s the matter?" Xia Anshan is the same generation as Xia Yu''s grandfather, Xia Yu is younger than Xia Yongquan, so he should be called his brother. Xia Yongquan swallowed, scratching his head awkwardly, and said, "Well, my grandfather asked me to call you to have breakfast." "That''s all right, you go into the house and sit down for a while, we''ll be ready soon!" After that, Xia Yu entered the house to change clothes, and came out again after a while, and went to have breakfast with Xia Yongquan. It¡¯s not wrong to call breakfast at the southern farmhouse because it¡¯s just eating. In the countryside, if it is not close to the township market, there is usually no noodles and steamed buns. They are all eaten, and in order to save time and firewood, they eat leftovers from last night. After all, it is really hard to chop wood. If the road is not close, it will take two days of hard work to barely enough for a week for a family. In rural areas, you usually get up at 5 or 6 o''clock and go to work early and work until 11 or 12 noon. During the five or six hours, if you don''t eat enough, where can you have the energy to do physical labor? But today there are important guests such as Xia Yu. Xia Anshan did not take leftovers to entertain Xia Yu. The rice is fresh and the dishes are rich. There are also a lot of rice cakes and rice crackers, so that Xia Yongquan who usually rarely eats good things is big. Duoduo was stared at by Xia Anshan several times in the middle of the journey. Xia Yu couldn''t help but couldn''t help but sigh "True temperament and eating is a blessing." "A Yu, do you have any plans for today?" After eating breakfast and drinking tea, Xia Anshan asked Xia Yu. Yesterday Xia Yu always emphasized that the family should not see outsiders, so no one called him Mr. Xia. Generally, he was called directly by his name or A Yu. "Uncle, it''s the first time I have come to Ancestral Land. I didn''t have time to take a closer look yesterday, so today I want to stroll around the whole village to see my Xia family''s geomantic treasure." Xia Yu said with a smile. Xia Yu''s words made Xia Anshan very comfortable. He stroked his long beard and nodded again and again: "I have to take a good look. It is this treasure of Fengshui that has allowed me to pass on the Xia family for more than eight hundred years. After finishing speaking, he looked at the little grandson Xia Yongquan who was nibbling melon seeds, and exhorted. "Aquan, you don''t need to work these days. Just follow A Yu. If you want to do anything, do it, you know?" Xia Yongquan immediately nodded and spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, looked at Xia Yu, and said loudly, "I know Grandpa!" "By the way, A Yu, your line originally had houses and land, but when the whole family fled, the house was torn down, and no one of your ancestors came back and has not been rebuilt. The land in the village was again in New China. It has been re-divided, so the ancestral land is gone, but you have to wait a while. I will rearrange it and let each family replace one for you. No one should be unwilling." Xia Anshan said to Xia Yu with a look of shame. Xia Yu faintly smiled and shook his head: "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, you don''t need to be so troublesome, if you don''t have it, it''s gone, I don''t need it." "If I want it, I can buy it with the money when the time comes. It won''t make everyone suffer or cause conflicts." Xia Anshan pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement: "Well, well, if there is a need for me to come forward, tell me!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "Okay, it''s all a family, I won''t be polite!" Everyone suddenly laughed cheerfully. "Uncle, then I''ll go out first!" "Row!" "Aquan, if you want to eat, put it in your pocket and eat it on the road. Go and lead the way!" "okay!" Xia Yongquan said, grabbing a handful of fried melon seeds and stuffing them into his pocket, then followed Xia Yu out. "A Yu, here is going to the village head, here is going to the upper row, leading directly to the reservoir on the mountain, here is..." After leaving the yard, Xia Yongquan pointed to all directions to introduce Xia Yu. The Xia Village in 1979 is not much different from the Xia Village in 2000, at least in terms of road planning and overall village layout. Xia Yu was also a skin monkey when he was a child. He went up the mountain to fish for birds and fished in the river. He couldn''t be more familiar with the whole village. On the contrary, after going out to study in high school and university, every summer and winter vacation, he was even more strange to the changed Xia Village. Therefore, even though Xia Yongquan spoke like a machine gun, Xia Yu could still understand what he said. He kept smiling, pointing to a big banyan tree in the far east and said, "Let¡¯s go to the banyan tree first. The banyan tree is so big in the past, so the year shouldn¡¯t be short?" Xia Yong raised his head and said with some pride: "That is, I heard the elders say that this banyan tree was planted by my ancestor of the Xia family in the Song Dynasty when I was a senior high school scholar. It has been more than 800 years!" Of course, Xia Yu knows the allusion of this ancient banyan tree. This has always been the pride of the Xia family It is a pity that after entering the 21st century, due to improper protection, this banyan tree gradually withered and was reborn in Xia Yu The tree was so bald that there was no leaf, and the government came forward to protect it. The tree was covered with nutrition bags, and it still could not be saved. At that time, the old people in the village looked gloomy and kept talking about this as an ominous omen, that the Xia family would be in trouble, and Shili and eight villages were also gossiping about all kinds of ominous things in Xia Village. But in this life, nothing has happened yet, there is still time to protect. Xia Yu showed curiosity at the right time, and said with interest: "Then I have to go and see, Brother Yongquan, please lead the way." "Okay, come with me!" Along the way, Xia Yongquan''s mouth never stopped. He seemed to be very curious about everything. He was either asking about Xia Yu''s outside situation or whether he knew Kung Fu. Xia Yu picked up what he could say and told him that this is so, hearing the colorful world outside, the color of longing in Xia Yongquan''s eyes has become more intense. ps: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! v3 Chapter 720: Fathers persimmon After walking for nearly three minutes, Xia Yu walked under the ancient banyan tree. The ancient banyan tree that has been around for more than 800 years is like a huge umbrella, with a height of 30 meters and a diameter of more than 50 meters, covering an area of ??more than three acres. Because the banyan tree is an evergreen tree, although it is now November, the tree is still full of green leaves, and the sunlight penetrates through the leaves and pours on the ground, forming small bright spots. Standing under the tree, Xia Yu felt very shady. In summer, this place is definitely a good place to enjoy the shade. Listening to the birdsong on the tree, Xia Yu approached, stroking the bark, nostalgia in his eyes. This banyan tree runs through the memories of Xia Yu¡¯s childhood. Although the bottom circumference of the tree reaches 13 meters and it takes seven adults to hold hands to surround it, it is easy to climb up. Xia Yu always liked to climb to it when he was a child. Go play on the tree and dig out the bird''s nest on it. "This banyan tree is indeed big. I have seen taller and larger trees in the virgin forests of Southeast Asia, but as far as the banyan tree is concerned, I haven''t seen any bigger than this!" Li Wuming, who was next to Xia Yu, patted the thick banyan trunk and said with emotion. Hearing Li Wuming say this, Xia Yongquan showed pride on his face and said: "I heard the old gentleman who came to our place said that the banyan trees in Xia Village are among the best in the country." Xia Yongquan¡¯s pride made Xia Yu feel inexplicably familiar. He was surprised that he was so proud of his introduction to outsiders in his previous life. He smiled slightly and nodded and said, ¡°It is true. There must be something bigger in China. But definitely not much." "It¡¯s more than eight hundred years. It¡¯s not easy to grow so big, let alone planted by the ancestors of the Xia family, but it must be protected. I will mention it to the banyan tree and put a number on it to protect it. ." Xia Yongquan was pleasantly surprised and said quickly: "A Yu, thank you, everyone knows, I don''t know how happy it should be!" "Thank you, I am a member of the Xia family. Since I have the ability, of course I can''t watch." Xia Yu waved his hand and smiled. Xia Yongquan smiled more, and his eyes became closer to Xia Yu. "Let''s go, let''s go around again, let''s go this way!" With that, Xia Yu pointed to the middle of the three diverging roads, and the group continued to move forward. Along the way, I met villagers from time to time. Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw Xia Yu and invited Xia Yu to sit in their house. At first, Xia Yu agreed, but afterwards they all smiled and refused. But because of the enthusiasm of the villagers, Xia Yu felt warm. After walking more than 500 meters, Xia Yu stopped in front of a family''s yard. The yard is made of stones, it is only one meter and five meters high. There is a wooden door in the middle. The wooden door is open. Xia Yu can see the scene inside. At the farthest, there is a row of four or five adobe tiled houses. Cypress, a persimmon tree five or six meters high on the left. There are few leaves on the persimmon tree, but it is covered with red persimmons. Several children are picking persimmons happily on the tree. Looking at this scene, Xia Yu couldn''t help clenching his fists, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of complex colors. Seeing Xia Yu stopped, Xia Yongquan subconsciously introduced to Xia Yu: "A Yu, this is the home of Uncle Xinhua. It is estimated that he is going to work in the field now. Do you want to sit in?" Xia Yu nodded, controlled his emotions, took a deep breath and said, "Go in and take a look." "Good! I''ll go in first." With that, Xia Yongquan volunteered to go forward, and shouted loudly before entering the yard, "Uncle Xinhua, aunt, are you at home?" "Afang, Awen, are your parents at home?" Seeing that no one responded, Xia Yongquan shouted at the few children on the tree again. "My mother is in the vegetable garden behind the house, and my dad has gone to work in the fields!" A child on the tree, eating a persimmon in his mouth, said loudly. Xia Yu looked at the talking child on the tree, his pupils shrank suddenly, the memory of his previous life struck, and his eyes were slightly moist. Like! so similar! This little boy about ten years old is completely a reduced version of his previous father. Calculating age, it should be right! The dialogue between Xia Yongquan and the little boy proved Xia Yu''s ideas. Just listen to Xia Yongquan shouting to the little boy: "Fang, pick some delicious persimmons and come down, there are guests at home!" "okay!" The little boy said loudly, and then climbed towards a branch like a monkey, moving very quickly, but Xia Yu was shocked to see, he couldn''t help shouting: "Be careful, don''t fall off!" The little boy chuckled and said with some complacency: "Don''t worry, the persimmon tree is very tough, I can climb the tree very well and won''t fall down!" Xia Yu was only slightly relieved now, with a smile on his face. Unexpectedly, his honest father in his previous life was so skinny when he was a child. At this moment, a smaller boy slipped down holding the trunk, and after saying "I''ll call my mother" to Xia Yu and others, he ran into the house barefoot, shouting in his mouth. : "Mom, Mom, Brother Aquan is here with the big brother who sent sugar yesterday, Mom..." Xia Yu is happy, his second uncle Xia Dongwen was also interesting enough when he was a child. It turns out that he only left them with the impression of "Big Brother with Sugar" yesterday. "A Yu, let''s go in and sit down!" When Xia Yu and others first entered the house, they happened to see a 30-year-old rural woman approaching. When they saw Xia Yu and others, they greeted with a smile on their faces: "Mr. Xia is here. You Ah Quan, the house is a bit messy, don''t dislike it, you sit down, I will pour you a glass of water." "Auntie, no trouble, let''s do it ourselves!" Xia Yongquan quickly walked over to help. "No need, you sit down first, and you have to do it wherever you come home, don''t you look down on Auntie, sit down!" The woman was very enthusiastic, with swift hands and feet. She said that she poured a few glasses of water from the boiling water bottle, brought the plate to the table, and handed a glass to Xia Yu. She smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, drink water!" Xia Yu immediately took the water poured by the grandmother of the previous life, and smiled thankfully: "Thank you aunt, I am not an outsider, don''t call my husband, just call me A Yu." At the same time, his heart was greatly moved. In his memory, his grandmother Gu Yuedi was old, with silver hair and wrinkles on her faceWhich is as young as now. Gu Yuedi looked at Xia Yu and found that his expression was sincere. Then he nodded and said, "Good." "There are peanuts here. They are grown at home. They were dried a few days ago, but they are sweet!" With that, Gu Yuedi opened the cabinet again and broke a plate of peanuts on the table. In Gu Yuedi¡¯s expectant gaze, Xia Yu picked up a bag and peeled it open, poured the peanuts into her mouth and chewed, and exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s really sweet and delicious!¡± "If it tastes delicious, eat more. I''ll decorate it for you and take it home later." "Auntie, no need to go, sit down!" Seeing that Gu Yuedi was going to pretend peanuts again, Xia Yu hurriedly smiled and stopped. At this time, Xia Dongfang, the father of Xia Yu''s previous life, ran in with a bunch of red persimmons on his chest, and in front of Xia Yu, he laughed and said, "Big brother, eat persimmons, it''s sweet. !" Glancing at her elder son with admiration, Gu Yuedi also greeted enthusiastically: "Yes, the persimmons at home are very sweet, A Yu, try it!" Seeing Xia Dongfang''s expectant eyes and innocent smile, Xia Yu''s eyes gradually moistened, and he applauded again and again. He picked up a persimmon, peeled it and bit it hard, and said vaguely, "Very sweet, thanks!" Persimmons are really sweet and refreshing, making Xia Yu''s taste buds bloom. But at this time Xia Yu didn''t care about this at all. He only felt his heart was gripped tightly and his eyes were sour. He tried hard to control not to let the tears flow down. This is his father, the father who brought him up by diligent work in his previous life, facing the loess and back to the sky for him to go to college! Even though he was just a child, Xia Yu seemed to see the old figure on his body, looking at him kindly. PS: I have always felt that the book does not smell like fireworks, so I wrote such a chapter, and revised it back and forth, for fear of which words were not used well, I looked melancholy after writing it. . . v3 Chapter 721: Xia Yu in the previous life was a tree "Awen, go to the field and call your father back." "Ok!" Before Xia Yu could stop him, Xia Dongwen ran out. Xia Yu packed up his mood and sat down again, chatting with Gu Yuedi. He did have some things to find his grandfather Xia Xinhua in his previous life, Gu Yuedi alone could not be the master. After a while, Xia Yu saw a dark-skinned young man entering the yard, then dropped his **** and ran in. After seeing Xia Yu, he grinned, showing a simple and honest smile. "Mr. Xia, you are here, eh, don''t stand up, sit down, sit down!" "I just went to work in the fields, I have kept you waiting!" "It doesn''t matter, I should have interrupted your work and asked you to come back specially." ... While talking and laughing, Xia Xinhua also sat on the table, while Gu Yuedi took three boys and one girl and four children onto a chair on the side. Xia Yu also cleared up his mood, and asked with concern: "Uncle, there are six people in the family now? Is there enough food?" Xia Xinhua said with a smile: "It''s six people, they are all here. Food is OK. I can barely be hungry. It''s better than other villages. After all, the clan will take care of it. There are fewer lazy people in the brigade. More food." Xia Yu nodded thoughtfully. This is not the period of the household contract responsibility system. Every village has a production team, and the land belongs to the farmers. Everyone works together to eat a big pot of rice. Over time, there will definitely be more people filling up the number, and the grain output and efficiency are also lower. I still remember that at this point in time, it has only been one year since Xiaogang Village secretly allocated fields to households, and not long after the millet was harvested, the annual grain output was equivalent to the past few years. From this point of view, he has to add to the flames in order to better implement his plan. Xia Yu asked again: "Uncle, are there any fruit trees in the village?" Xia Xinhua didn¡¯t know why Xia Yu asked about this, but he answered truthfully: ¡°The commune only grows 50 acres of peaches and 50 acres of chestnuts. It just opened the mountain last year and planted 20 acres of oranges. He opened the mountain to plant a variety of fruits and did not expect to sell it." Xia Yu nodded and asked again: "There is a kind of orange, don''t you know if you know navel oranges?" "Navel orange? Are you talking about the one with a belly button at the bottom?" "Yes!" "No, but I heard that there are oranges in the next town. There are six hundred acres of forests to grow oranges. I have seen a small portion of navel oranges. I have never eaten them. I don''t know how they taste." "Is this navel orange very popular?" Seeing Xia Xinhua¡¯s suspicious eyes, Xia Yu smiled and nodded, affirming: ¡°It¡¯s very good. I got it at the Canton Fair a few years ago. The price of selling to Xiangjiang reached 18 Hong Kong dollars per kilogram. Block or so." Xia Xinhua''s eyes were round, and he said in disbelief: "A catty is seven yuan?" Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, but there are also too few quantities. If the quantity increases, the price will go down, but if it is exported outside the mainland, it will not be a problem to sell it for a few yuan per catty." Xia Xinhua was breathing fast and his face flushed red, but his face turned red and black due to his dark complexion. Seeing this, Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly. He said this deliberately, just to arouse Xia Xinhua''s thoughts. This was after Xia Yu considered it for a long time, and found a way out for his family in his previous life and the entire Xia Village. In the previous life, every household in Xia Village grew navel oranges, but Xia Yu''s family has been in poor luck. I started planting in 2003. My father, Xia Dongfang, was very aggressive. He planted 500 trees in the mountain. When it came to fruition in 2007, he sold a lot of money and returned half of the capital. However, in 2008, I encountered a heavy snowstorm that was rare in a century. Due to some accidents, it was not sold for seven or eight days. The heavy snowfall came. I could still sell navel oranges for one catty and one three cents. No one came to collect the catties, most of the fruit was destroyed by the frost, and the blood was lost. After a few years, I encountered Huanglong disease known as "citrus cancer" and all the fruit trees died of illness. The ones with fruit trees were sold at a high price of four or five yuan. After ten years in this way, all the hard work has come to nothing. Xia''s father and Xia''s mother can only do odd jobs to help the three brothers Xia Yu go to school. However, the family in the previous life was not short of hard work and only luck. In this life, Xia Yu can make up for them. "Um, Ayu, the navel orange is so valuable, if we grow it, can we sell it?" Xia Xinhua rubbed her hands and said with some embarrassment. Xia Yu nodded and said: "Of course it can be sold. As long as the fruit is well grown, there is no worry that no one will buy it. I know many people, so I can help sell it." Xia Xinhua was surprised, but still said worriedly: "I can go to the next town to find out and buy the seed, but I don''t know if they would like to teach me the planting techniques." Xia Yu smiled and said: "Uncle, you should know about this first. I also hope to find a way out for the whole village. If the time comes, the whole village is willing to plant it together. It is better to have a scale and find a market." Xia Xinhua said gratefully: "A Yu, thank you for worrying about the village!" "Should!" After speaking, Xia Yu asked Xia Xinhua to come out alone and came under the cypress tree in the yard. "Uncle, I want to discuss something with you, I want to buy this cypress tree." Looking at the cypress tree in front of him, Xia Xinhua was a little confused, and muttered: "Buy? How do I buy this tree?" "Where do you want to dig to plant it? Just dig it directly. It''s too much to say to buy!" Yesterday he also received the big red envelope from Xia Yu, and was very grateful to Xia Yu. Now Xia Yu wants a tree. Although the request is strange, he cannot ask for Xia Yu''s money. Xia Yu smiled and said: "Uncle, I don''t want to dig, I just want to buy this cypress tree, take a wooden sign and write my name on it, and just hang it up." "I''ll find you a plank to nail on now." With that said, Xia Xinhua wanted to find the nails on the board. Xia Yu grabbed him and said quickly: "Uncle, listen to me!" "I don''t need money. I just like this tree. You can watch it for me and don''t plant it. Take the money." After speaking, Xia Yu took out the two stacks of banknotes that had been prepared from the inner pocket of his clothes and stuffed them into Xia Xinhua¡¯s hands from a hidden angle. UU reading whispered: "Uncle, you take this money. Now, don¡¯t say to outsiders, just satisfy my wish." Xia Xinhua looked at Xia Yu, then looked down at the money in her hand, her eyes widened, she suddenly looked at Xia Yu, took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "A Yu, what are you doing? I can''t take you. Money, you gave me a big red envelope yesterday, and I can''t ask for your money anymore." With that, Xia Xinhua was struggling to put the money back into Xia Yu''s hands. Xia Yu grasped Xia Xinhua''s hand tightly, stared straight at him, and solemnly said: "Uncle, in the whole village, I will join your family. With so many children in the family, it will not be easy to start a family in the future. Leave some for them. In the end, if you want to do a career, it¡¯s easier. Your family¡¯s well-being is the greatest reward to me." Hearing Xia Yu''s sincere and sincere words, Xia Xinhua was silent, his eyes flushed, and he nodded heavily: "OK, A Yu, your kindness, my family will never forget!" "Uncle, just help me plant this tree. Put the money well, there are outsiders, it''s not good to spread it out." Xia Xinhua knew that Xia Yu was referring to Xia Yongquan in the house. He nodded and kicked the money into his pocket, pulling up his clothes to cover it. After that, Xia Yu and Xia Xinhua re-entered the house and left after drinking the tea. Xia Xinhua insisted on sending Xia Yu out. "Uncle, I''m leaving first, and I''ll come by when I have time!" "You must come over, just like your own home!" "okay!" Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile, then turned and left. With these two thousand dollars, the grandfather Xia Xinhua''s family in the previous life can live better, this tree, he will be with them in the previous life! Just like the evergreen cypress, quietly accompany them! Because Xia Yu understood that from the moment he came to Xia Village and his grandfather''s house in his previous life, he would no longer exist in his previous life! () v3 Chapter 722: 9 State Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. Just a few steps out, Xia Yongquan couldn''t help it, and asked directly: "A Yu, is it really that profitable to grow the navel orange you mentioned?" Seeing the longing look in Xia Yongquan''s eyes, Xia Yu smiled slightly and nodded: "It is indeed very profitable. Now there are very few plants. As long as Xia Cun grows them, he will definitely not worry about not being able to sell them at high prices, even if there are more and more races behind. The price has been lowered, and Xia Village¡¯s reputation has also been promoted, and he made the most money." Getting an affirmative answer, Xia Yongquan''s eyes were full of excitement, as if he was blinded by future money. "A Yu, then our family also grows. When I go back, I dare to say that my dad and grandpa will definitely plant them." Xia Yongquan said excitedly. Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "Don''t worry, I will talk to your grandfather when I go back, and then talk to Governor Wu." Xia Yongquan nodded heavily, and then wandered absent-mindedly, making Xia Yu amused. After strolling around ten o''clock, Xia Yu returned to his residence and found Wu Siming and others who were drinking tea and chatting in the yard. "Mr. Xia, you are back." Wu Siming got up and laughed. "Come for tea, the camellia from the old branch book is very unique, come and taste it." "Okay thank you!" Xia Yu pulled a bamboo chair and sat down, sipped the tea, and exclaimed, "The taste is very fresh, this camellia is good." "Yes, the mountains and rivers are beautiful here, and the quality of the tea produced is also excellent!" Wu Siming is also a good tea person, and his views are representative. "By the way, Mr. Xia, how did you feel when you strolled for a while? There is no way to compare this place to the big cities like Xiangjiang, but in terms of natural environment, it should be better here." "Yes, Xiangjiang has fewer land and more people. For development, the ecological environment is sacrificed. There are gains and losses!" Xia Yu nodded with emotion. "In fact, in the industrial age, the economic development of any country is at the cost of destroying the environment. Mountains and forests are destroyed, water sources are polluted, and organisms are extinct one after another. It may seem that I don¡¯t care now, but in the future, it will be too great to restore the cost. ." "Green water and green mountains are the golden and silver mountains!" Wu Siming was taken aback. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to express such emotions. He chewed the last words of Xia Yu with thoughtful eyes. "Mr. Xia''s words are brilliant. If we notice this in advance, we can also leave more precious wealth for future generations." ... After chatting for a while, Xia Yu finally got into the topic. He looked straight and looked at Wu Siming and said, "Governor Wu, this time I came back and thought of a road suitable for Xia Village. If the practice is successful, it can even be promoted throughout the county and the city, which will greatly help earn foreign exchange." When it comes to earning foreign exchange, Wu Siming and Mayor Zhao and County Mayor Li who are sitting next to each other have their eyes straight and stare at Xia Yu intently. Wu Siming quickly asked, "Mr. Xia, what is the way to ask?" Xia Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at County Magistrate Li and said, "Mage Li should know that it is to grow navel oranges on a large scale." "Navel orange?" County Mayor Li did not expect that Xia Yu was talking about this. Of course he knew navel oranges. Seeing the suspicious eyes of Wu Siming and Mayor Zhao, he quickly explained: "Dear directors, there is a place to grow them in Andong Town, my county. Navel oranges were also offered for trial sale at the Canton Fair before and sold to Xiangjiang customers. One kilogram sold for 36 Hong Kong dollars. When converted into U.S. dollars, it was nearly eight dollars." "I also went to the site to see it, but the planting area is not large, it adds up to more than 100 trees, and the planting of navel oranges is very particular, not only requires high technical requirements, but also requires strict soil climate. The method of large-scale planting." When Mayor Li said this, there was a trace of regret in the eyes of Wu Siming and Mayor Zhao, who were still shocked. At this moment, Xia Yu said: "I also have a certain understanding of navel oranges. The crop of navel oranges was first discovered in Brazil and then successfully planted in the United States. In fact, there are mature planting techniques in the United States. If you want to learn, you can send someone to study in the United States and then make localized improvements." "Secondly, as far as the environment is concerned, the entire Longfeng County is actually suitable for the growth of navel oranges. There is also a unique rare earth mine. The soil contains various rare trace elements. This is the fundamental reason why the taste exceeds that of American navel oranges." "So I plan to organize the planting of navel oranges in Xia Village, and cooperate with the state to establish a navel orange planting research center. The state will send policy and scientific research personnel. I will provide funds and scientific research equipment and use Xia Village as a practical planting base. The people of South Africa have explored a way to get rich." Wu Siming didn''t expect Xia Yu to have a complete plan. He thought about it carefully and felt that there was no harm in the whole world. If it succeeds, Jiangnan and even Jiangxi will have a special industry, and will also create valuable foreign exchange for the country. Maybe he was no longer in Jiangxi at that time, but he was able to benefit the people, that''s enough! The more I think about it, the more excited he is. Wu Siming nodded immediately: "Mr. Xia, I don''t think I can find any reason to refuse this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people, but I am not in charge of agriculture after all. This also involves a higher level. I can''t be the master. , The specific implementation will be decided by many of the above." Xia Yu smiled and said, "I understand, I will trouble Governor Wu to mention it." Wu Siming immediately nodded: "There is no phone here. I will go to town now, report the news, and I will give you an answer as quickly as possible." After that, Wu Siming immediately left and took Li Bin to Nanshi Town. When eating at noon, Xia Anshan, who had already heard the news from Xia Yongquan, asked Xia Yu about navel orange planting Xia Yu chatted with them for noon. At Xia Yu''s repeated requests, Xia Anshan suppressed his excitement and anxiously awaited the news above. When Wu Siming arrived in the town at noon, a phone call would disturb the mood of the big bosses in the provincial capital. An emergency meeting was held at noon that day. All members voted for this kind of good deed to benefit the country and the people, and then reported it in the name of the province. Two days later, the high-level decision was made to fully support the action of the patriotic overseas Chinese Xia Yu, and the brand of the National Navel Orange Planting Research Center was quickly approved. When seeing the content of the red-headed document, not only Xia Yu laughed, but also Wu Siming, Mayor Zhao, County Mayor Li and others. Subsequently, Mayor Zhao and County Mayor Li also immediately implemented the upper-level decision and notified other members at home to work out an implementation plan as quickly as possible based on the content of the document. And the anxious Xia Anshan, who was also waiting, felt infinitely glorious after learning of the country''s consent. At the same time, he was full of longing for the future, and immediately held a villager congress. At the meeting, Xia Yu described the prospect of navel orange planting. With his current prestige, the villagers did not doubt it. Coupled with the official support, how could they be unwilling? Xia Xinhua''s support is the loudest. All the links were completed. Xia Yu immediately asked the people of Kyushu Industry Co., Ltd. to set up a Kyushu Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. in the name of the company and cooperated with the government to establish the National Navel Orange Planting Research Center, occupying 49% of the equity. . Then it is clear that Jiuzhou Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. will take the lead to solve the problems of planting technology, seedlings, and sales. The men, women, and children in Xia Village, in the current slack season, have all swarmed into the mountains and forests, and began to open up wasteland in an orderly manner according to the plan to prepare for the next year''s navel orange planting. v3 Chapter 723: Donate to school Finding a way to get rich for Xia Village has been able to meet most of Xia Village''s needs, but there is another aspect that Xia Yu has to worry about. That is education! He has been to the village elementary school, and the scene really worries him. The dilapidated teachers, the repaired tables and stools, and even the blackboard will be pitted, and the conditions are very difficult. And the teacher in class was also the older one. Xia Yu listened outside for a long time, and finally made a judgment. The quality and quantity of school teachers are very low, and teaching materials are scarce, and the hardware facilities are also backward. Under such conditions, it is difficult for children to learn good knowledge. And children are the future of Xia Village. If you don¡¯t learn well at the education stage, how can you talk about a rich country and a strong family? What about contributing to society? The education level of Xia Village was very low. Many children dropped out of elementary school. Xia Yu was a rare college student in the village. Xia Yu remembers very clearly that when he was studying in his previous life, there were 60 students in a class in elementary school. By the sixth grade, there were only 52. ??Eight of them dropped out of school or got married, and then dropped out after entering junior high school. That''s even more. It coincided with the popularity of the "Young and Dangerous" movie, which spoiled the school''s ethos. At a time, there were a lot of punks. There were not a few fights, and many people were killed. Then in high school, someone dropped out again. He knew that only three of his classmates from elementary school had attended more than three colleges, including him. The ratio is extremely low! Perhaps in this life, under his interference, the people in Xia Village will be richer, but it is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps more children will give birth to the idea that it is useless to study, and they can make money and survive without studying. So in this situation, Xia Yu wants to try his best to avoid this kind of thing. He can''t control other places, but Xia Cun still has his father and uncles in his previous life, and other relatives. He still hopes that they can all read the book. , Read a good book! Do as he thinks of it, Xia Yu once again found Xia Anshan and mentioned to him the idea of ??building a new elementary school. Xia Yu was overjoyed when Xia Yu paid the money to build the road. Now he is going to build a primary school. Xia Anshan was very happy. Of course he agreed, and informed the village as soon as possible to select a new elementary school. When the village was surging against the sky, Xia Yu called the mayor Li of Nanshi Town and asked him that he needed support from teachers. Mayor Li of course has nothing to say, but in terms of teachers, the county Education and Science Bureau has always been uniformly assigned. The entire Nanshi Town and the other eight villages are similar to Xia Village. Therefore, he said with embarrassed expression: "Mr. Xia, all villages and primary schools, including the junior high school in the town, are short of teachers, and the teachers are generally older. The transfer of teachers requires the approval of the Education and Science Bureau. We have no right to interfere. " Xia Yu frowned slightly. He didn''t expect this to be the case. He thought about it, called a car, and asked Mayor Li to lead the way to various villages and towns to find out the situation. After a visit, Xia Yu remained silent. The facts are as Mayor Li said, and the situation is even worse. The primary schools in many villages are worse than those in Xia Village. Ask the students and they will leak when it rains. Although they will always be repaired, the classrooms are made of adobe wood. For beams, it is difficult to pick tiles and repair them. It''s just that although the conditions are poor, the children''s enthusiasm for learning is unabated, and the yearning for knowledge touched Xia Yu''s heart. On the way back, Xia Yu was silent the whole time, watching the long green hills outside the car. Mayor Li thought that he was dissatisfied with Xia Yu, and he was panicked, and immediately reported to the county, hoping to get help from the county. This made County Magistrate Li anxious, and he directly approved the transfer of young teachers to Xia Village to fill up the staff of Xia Village, and then specially ran to Xia Yu to explain the situation. In the yard, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded by the cautious look of County Chief Li. "Major Li, sit down and have a sip of tea. You are worried. I just thought of something." Seeing Xia Yu''s attitude, Magistrate Li secretly let out a sigh of relief, but as soon as he sat down, he began to tell the details. "Mr. Xia, the county has discussed and decided to increase the tilt of educational resources in the county and Nanshi Town..." Xia Yu listened quietly, and said with a smile: "Major Li, because of my temporary thoughts, you are worried." "It just happens that you are here, and I will tell you something too. You can consider whether it is feasible." Magistrate Li lifted up his spirits and solemnly said: "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "I visited various villages in Nanshi Town and talked with Mayor Li. I knew that the education level of the entire county was similar. After walking around, I felt very moved. " "I''m a businessman. If I don''t have the ability, then forget it. Now that I have some achievements, I intend to give back to the society. Although Xia Village is my hometown, but when it gets bigger, Nanshi Town and Longfeng County are also my hometown. , So I plan to do a career for my hometown." "I plan to donate to school, build a primary school for every village, a middle school for every town, and then build a high school for the county!" County Magistrate Li stood up abruptly and blurted out in shock, "Mr. Xia, are you serious? You may not know that Longfeng County has 13 townships and 126 villages." His hidden meaning is obvious, whether such a large number will cause some pressure on Xia Yu. Xia Yu said with a smile: "This is not too much, I have built it all, and it contains supporting textbooks, but you are the only one responsible for the teachers." Even if one high school, thirteen junior high schools, and one hundred and twenty-six elementary schools are to be built, according to the current prices, each school is equipped with a library, and the land cost is only 5 million yuan. Maybe a 40% discount! Moreover, in order to maintain quality and quantity, he also intends to send people from Kyushu Industrial Company to supervise the work, to ensure that every penny is paid as much as possible The magistrate Li looked ecstatic, nodded quickly, and deeply excited Xia Yu He bowed and said with a little choked voice: "Mr. Xia, on behalf of the people of Longfeng County, I thank you for your generosity. Your dedication is in the present age and will benefit the future. Thank you!" Mayor Li beside him also bowed excitedly to Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and helped them up. From elementary school to high school, the rest is university. In the past, Jiangxi Province did not have a good university. There was only one 211 in one province. Jiangxi Province could not develop, and there were many reasons for education. Later, Xia Yu approached Mayor Zhao and Wu Siming and mentioned that he wanted to donate 50 million yuan in foreign exchange to build a high-level comprehensive university in Qianzhou. This kind of good pie in the sky directly stunned Mayor Zhao and Wu Siming, but this kind of thing is no longer they can decide, they can only continue to report. As a result, it goes without saying that the mainland was extremely happy with Xia Yu''s generous gesture of goodwill, and immediately sent a dedicated person to match it. Only 20 days later, Gan Province approved the report of Qianzhou City on the construction of Qianzhou University, and the superiors ordered that Yanjing University, Shuimu University, Fudan University, University of Science and Technology of China, Zhejiang University and other top national universities support Qianzhou. The construction and teaching of the university directly opened the way of running a school from a high starting point in Qianzhou University. In the future, Qianzhou University will become the only double first-class university in Gan Province, with talents coming out of Qianzhou City and Longfeng County. Of course, this is something for now. After deciding to donate to school, Xia Yu sent someone to meet him. He bid farewell to the people in Xia Village and set off for Pengcheng. There, Master Li Chunqiu and his party were already waiting, and the mainland also arranged for someone to wait to talk to him about the Wudang Mountain Scenic Area. He will return to Xiangjiang after inspecting Pengcheng''s company. v3 Chapter 724: Infrastructure madness When Xia Yu arrived in Pengcheng, he was warmly received by the official. It is no wonder that they are so on Xia Yu, it is in Pengcheng. Xia Yu has the largest investment and has given strong support to the mainland. Not only invested one billion to build a film and television city, but also four billion to build a highway from Pengcheng to Yangcheng. In addition, it also repaired hotels and built factories, which made a huge contribution to the construction of Pengcheng. At three o''clock in the afternoon, not long after Xia Yu woke up from the lunch break, Liu Zhihe came over. Xia Yu knew that this was something about the Wudang Mountain Scenic Area. He and Liu Zhihe are also old friends. In addition, the matter of Wudang Mountain is also related to his master''s wish. Xia Yu hopes that there will be an early result, which can be the best, and if it can''t be done, he can change the way, so he asked straightforwardly: "Director Liu, I don''t know what kind of attitude is on my proposal?" Liu Zhihe was taken aback, smiled bitterly at first, and then said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, I have also learned the details of this incident. It can be said that it has caused a big setback." Xia Yu said jokingly: "Isn''t it that I plan to be the King of the Mountain, or want to build a concession?" Liu Zhihe''s eyes widened, and he blurted out: "Mr. Xia, you are really amazing, how did you know?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Guess it!" In fact, he really guessed it. When he put forward this idea in Wudang Mountain, he guessed in his mind that there must be some old-fashioned concepts and they would think so. Even people in Pengcheng say that, let alone contracting Wudang Mountain? But he also holds a glimmer of hope, he believes that people with discerning eyes understand his true plan. Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Zhihe and asked, "Director Liu, just tell me, what happened to this?" Liu Zhihe smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, congratulations. Although this matter has been a lot of twists and turns, your work in Gan Province was very timely, and you finally agreed directly." Xia Yu raised his brows and then smiled. "Thank you for the support above. Now some people don''t understand, but time will tell." Liu Zhihe nodded: "Yes, we believe in Mr. Xia''s patriotic heart!" "By the way, Mr. Xia, this is a specific document, and the general direction is set on it. You have to discuss the specific cooperation matters with Hubei Province." Xia Yu took the red-headed document Liu Zhihe took out of his bag and looked at it. The document approved that Wudang Mountain was jointly invested and developed by Xia Yu and E Province. The Wudang Mountain Scenic Area Construction and Management Company established by Xia Yu has the right to construct and develop and operate and manage the Wudang Mountain, and E Province has the right to supervise... After reading the contents of the document, Xia Yu smiled. He didn''t care about the supervision power of Hubei Province, just because he was worried that he would come in disorderly or set prices randomly. But these simply cannot exist. For Wudang Mountain, Xia Yu did not operate with the mentality of making money, he mainly guarded against the same as his previous life, so that the good Wudang Mountain was flooded with money, but played down the role of cultural communication. In this life, under his intervention, Wudang Mountain will definitely develop better than the previous life, not only in terms of hardware but also in terms of cultural communication. He will not set a too high price. I am afraid that it will be too high in E Province. Wudang Mountain charges are too low. "Director Liu, please contact the province of E. I don''t have enough time to come to talk in person. I will appoint someone to talk to me in person." Xia Yu said to Liu Zhihe. Liu Zhihe smiled understandingly and said: "This is what I should do. Don''t worry, Mr. Xia, I will let people stare at me. If there is a problem, I will be coordinated as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please come to me." Xia Yu said thankfully, "Thank you Director Liu, then!" "You are welcome, this is my job responsibility." Then the two talked about other things for a while, and before they knew it, a pot of tea bottomed out. Looking at his watch, it was four o''clock in the afternoon. Xia Yu thought for a while and said to Liu Zhihe, "Director Liu, I''m going to check the progress of the project of my subsidiary company. Would you like to join me?" Liu Zhihe replied happily, "Of course, I also want to see your business. I heard people say that the hotel is almost finished." Xia Yu smiled and got up: "The people below told me that I was almost finished. This is a bit fast. I have to see it before I can rest assured. If the tofu project is completed, my loss will be a small matter. If it affects you, it will not be good. Up." "probably not¡­¡­" With that, the two went out together and got in the car to the center of Pengcheng. Soon, Xia Yu and others arrived at the center of Pengcheng, and after getting off the car, they saw a huge construction site. This construction site is the Marco Pengcheng Hotel built by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., a five-star hotel with a design of up to 36 floors. The person in charge of the construction site who had already received the call saw Xia Yu''s arrival and immediately ran over to report. "Chairman, Cheng Shaohua reports to you!" Xia Yu looked at the dark-skinned middle-aged man, nodded slightly and said, "Well, thank you very much!" "No hard work!" Cheng Shaohua grinned and said loudly. Xia Yu ordered: "Go, take us in and see!" "Chairman, you first wear a helmet." After that, Xia Yu and others wore yellow hats and followed Cheng Shaohua into the construction site. Looking around, the ground is lined with construction materials such as steel bars, plates, and cement in an orderly manner. Groups of workers wearing helmets are busy with their gongs, which is a splendid work scene. "Chairman, construction of this building started on May 1. The total floor of the building was designed to be 36 floors. It took 32 days to lay the foundation, and now it has reached 30 floors. It is estimated that it will take another month to top up! " Cheng Shaohua introduced to Xia Yu. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, looked up and counted, it really was thirty stories. And even if Liu Zhihe has seen it, he saw this towering reinforced concrete building here, and after counting the time, he still said in shock: "An average of five days for a building, this speed is too fast!" "Mr. Xia, your company has set a record!" Xia Yu smiled, and said calmly: "This speed is okay. Before that, the fastest construction speed of Xiangjiang was five days per floor. In the United States, the fastest construction speed reached four days per day. Floor." Cheng Shaohua on the side introduced at the right time: "Chairman, leadership, when the main body of this building first started construction, it was around the first floor in seven days. After reaching the sixth floor, the speed reached the first floor in five days, and it reached the 25th floor. At this time, one layer can be built in four days. According to the current progress, the time can be shorter with more than 30 floors. It is not impossible to reach one floor in three days, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed!" "Hi! One floor for three days?" Liu Zhihe''s eyes were round, and his gaze towards Cheng Shaohua was full of incredible color. On the contrary, Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile and said admiringly: "It''s a good job, but to continue to strengthen supervision, speed is very important, but quality is the fundamental, and we must not build a tofu project." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Liu Zhihe who was shocked with a brighter smile on his face. In fact, he also urged Liu Shihao to order Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. to show its characteristics in Pengcheng. This speed is one of them. The speed of building construction in Xiangjiang can reach one floor in five days. It was created a few years ago, let alone in the mainland. It is not surprising that there are more capable mainland workers and some retired engineers. Up. In a few years, the construction speed of the Pengcheng International Trade Building will be faster than this. The "Pengcheng Speed" resounds through the land of China. After that, the "Shekou Speed" is more astonishing than the "Pengcheng Speed". . Now, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. has only won the title for one or two years. As long as the promotion is in place, it may be able to create a "Jiuding Speed". As long as this hotel is completed, the name of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. will definitely shook the sky. There will be no worries about not being able to receive the project. In the future, China Infrastructure Construction will definitely have its place. As for the hotel under construction, it will also be the tallest building in China at this time, and it will also be the best hotel in China. It has China¡¯s first high-speed elevator inside. The thirty-sixth floor is China¡¯s first high-rise revolving restaurant. Ding also designed China''s first high-rise helicopter landing pad. It can be said that as long as this hotel is completed, it will create many firsts in China, and Pengcheng officials will set it as a designated foreign hospitality hotel, and the business will definitely not be bad. After strolling around at five o''clock, Xia Yu patted Cheng Shaohua on the shoulder with satisfaction, once again instructed him to supervise him carefully, and then left with Liu Zhihe who was deeply moved. That night, Liu Zhihe spread out what he had learned in the afternoon, and spread it to Pengcheng the next day, even the emperor had heard of it. The reputation of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. and Marco Polo Pengcheng Hotel is increasing day by day. v3 Chapter 725: Opportunity to build a food giant The next day, the blue sky was like washing, and there was no cloud in the blue sky. The temperature in Pengcheng in November fluctuates around 20 degrees, and the autumn wind is breezy, which is a good time to travel. After eating early in the morning, Xia Yu first went to the film and television base under construction. This base was also constructed by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., but the speed was much slower. After all, the buildings built here are antique buildings. There are designs from Qin Dynasty architecture to Ming and Qing architecture, which is meticulous. Fortunately, there is no shortage of talents in the mainland. Under the official call, there are a large group of various masons and carpenters, and they are very skilled. After learning about it, Xia Yu knew that the construction period for the design of this film and television base was two years, and now the progress is a little bit faster. The eight-month project of the design was completed in half a year, and it may be completed half a year ahead of schedule. In the afternoon, Xia Yu was going to visit other factories, and even if the trip to Pengcheng was over, he returned to Xiangjiang the next day. Many of Xia Yu¡¯s companies have now established branches in Pengcheng, but mainly in the real estate and industrial fields. Like the media and financial fields, the mainland has not opened this hole at all, even if the subsidiaries of Jiuding Media Group and Jiuding Financial Group want to enter. However, when he went north in the first half of the year, Xia Yu privately proposed that the construction of Pengcheng is inseparable from financial support. Therefore, this life has changed and will open Pengcheng¡¯s financial standards to Xiangjiang merchants faster than the previous one. Entry qualifications. In the previous life, it would not be until 1981 that the mainland would open up financial access qualifications for cities such as Pengcheng, Xiamen, Zhuhai and Shantou, allowing financial companies such as banks and insurance companies in Hong Kong to enter. In this life, Xia Yu heard that he has been studying this matter, and it is estimated that it may be released in 1980, and Jiuding Bank will definitely be able to get the first batch of admission tickets. Having said that, the companies now entering Pengcheng include three manufacturing companies under Jiuding Printing Factory, Jiuding Toy Factory, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Jiuding Real Estate Group, and Tiangong Group. These companies all need a large number of workers. With such low labor costs in mainland China and such low land prices, it is impossible for Xia Yu not to urge them to come and seize the opportunity. However, the local factories in Hong Kong should not be closed in recent years, and adjustments will be made according to actual conditions. If one day, the factories in the mainland are big enough, it is not impossible that all the factories in Hong Kong will be closed. Then the huge land should be used for real estate development. The first factory visited was Jiuding Toy Factory. The first phase of the toy factory has already been built by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. and is now in use. When Xia Yu came to the factory, he saw the busy workers on the assembly line and the finished products. He also took a special Pikachu doll to take a closer look, and the quality satisfied him. After staying at Jiuding Toy Factory for about 20 minutes, he went to the next one. All the factories are in the same planned industrial zone. Except for Xia Yu''s factory, Lin Baixin and others'' factories are also here, but most of their factories are still under construction. Xia Yu''s factory was the first to go into production. A batch. Along the way, Xia Yu passed many construction sites and discovered a phenomenon. That is, when many construction workers are resting, they basically eat steamed buns. The better ones are rice balls. When they are thirsty, they just turn on the tap or pipe to drink water. Xia Yu caught a person and asked it. Now Pengcheng is a big factory with imperfect supporting facilities. Originally it was just a small fishing village. Now so many people have suddenly poured in, which has caused the living conditions. Enormous pressure. Among other things, eating and sleeping is a problem. There is no need to think about hotels or anything. As far as hotels are concerned, Marco Pengcheng Hotel in Xia Yu is estimated to be the first hotel to open. Even if it opens, it is not affordable for these workers. Most of the workers now live in. In the work shed, some even directly sleep on the construction site and sleep on the street. In terms of eating and drinking, water is easier to solve, but the difficulty lies in eating. Although there are already some breakfast stalls, in the face of a huge market, the supply is in short supply. The most important thing is the supply of ingredients. Although there is an official deployment, it also guarantees rice, salt and vegetables. Meat is relatively small. For the sake of efficiency, some companies have large canteens, but limited by the ingredients, the food is not much better. Workers do hard work, and their body consumes a lot of energy. Even if they have a full meal in the morning and noon, they are very hungry in the middle. In this case, steamed buns and rice **** are the quickest and most convenient food to satisfy their hunger. Many workers eat steamed bread to satisfy their hunger. However, Xia Yu thought of one thing, that is, it is now November. When it comes to winter, the energy consumption will be even greater, and it would be too inhumane to let workers eat dry and blunt steamed buns and rice balls. On the way back, Xia Yu thought of a way, instant noodles. After the inspiration was triggered, Xia Yu''s thinking diverged and thought more. Although the Uni-President Group has been established and is also a well-known food company in Taiwan, it will not enter the instant noodle field until the 1990s. Tingxin, the parent company of Master Kong, although it has entered the mainland, is still operating in the oil production field, and has not even noticed the instant noodle market. Although Xiangjiang had doll noodles in the late 1960s, the company did not enter the mainland either. This is a huge opportunity! In Xiangjiang before, Xia Yu also paid attention to the instant noodle market, but the market has been occupied by instant noodles represented by doll noodles and Nissin instant noodles, the originator of instant noodles from the island country, grabbed the market. In this case, Xia Yu also looks down on high costs, time-consuming, and low profits if he wants to reopen a brand to grab the market. But now it''s different. The mainland market is blank. Even if it''s just Guangdong Province and Pengcheng, it''s enough for a new instant noodle brand to gain a foothold. There are many Xiangjiang people here in Pengcheng. After they become famous here, they can also counterattack Xiangjiang and rush to Southeast Asia. It can be said that now is an excellent time. Thinking of instant noodles, Xia Yu also thought of Master Kong. He started his business with instant noodles, and later entered the beverage and pastry field. The market value of later generations reached more than 100 billion at the peak, and even at the low point, it has a market value of 60 to 70 billion. This is still when there are many competitors in the market. Now that Xia Yu is rushing to grab the market so early, with the accumulation of his consortium resources, is it possible to create a monopolistic food giant, such as Master Kong + Uni-President + Dali Food + Wanglaoji + Wahaha? With such a calculation, it is still possible to achieve a market value of hundreds of billions! If the field is expanded, not only in ordinary food and beverage, but in the field of grain and oil, the prospect will be even brighter! The more I thought about Xia Yu, the more heart-stirred he became, which led him to ponder this matter at night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the time was right now. He also owns a supermarket and a convenience store, and has an advantage in the sales terminal. As long as the new product is placed in the best position, he can promote a brand as quickly as possible. Since he didn''t lack the conditions, the timing was good, and the prospects were bright, Xia Yu couldn''t find a reason not to do it. Therefore, when he returned to Xiangjiang the next day, Xia Yu called Huo Jianning and ordered him to arrange for someone to investigate the food, beverage and doll noodle markets in Xiangjiang. . PS: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! v3 Chapter 726: US$1.1 billion floating profit Xia Yu started to deal with the backlog after finishing the arrangement of food matters. He first picked up the summary sheet of major news events provided to him by Jiuding News Agency and looked at it. Jiuding News Agency collects news from all over the world, large and small, and then uses it in different newspapers or TV stations according to the choice. It would undoubtedly be unrealistic to let Xia Yu look at it this way, and he didn''t have any leisure. Therefore, it has been stipulated from the establishment of Jiuding News Agency that major and relevant news are listed separately and presented to him in a concise and clear format, so that he can control the changing international situation at any time. From the day he went north, Xia Yu slowly browsed. Facts have proved that the influence of Xia Yu''s butterfly wings is not strong enough, and what should happen in Iran still happened. Just a few days after Xia Yu left, on November 4, more than 4,000 students from Tehran, the capital of Iran, with the support of Khomeini, occupied the U.S. Embassy, ??tore off the U.S. flag, and hung it instead. The white flag with the words "XX Great" and the detention of 66 American diplomats and American citizens as hostages for the United States to surrender the former King Pahlavi caused a huge sensation all over the world. International crude oil prices skyrocketed instantly. Then U.S. President Jimmy Carter immediately applied economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran. On November 12, 1979, the import of oil from Iran was terminated, and some Iranians were deported by the United States. By November 14, the assets of Iranians worth approximately US$8 billion in the United States were frozen. The contradiction has further intensified. In retaliation, Iran also imposed an oil embargo on the United States. In just over ten days, the international crude oil price has risen to US$26.2 a barrel, and it is still gaining momentum. Xia Yu immediately calculated an account in his mind. Previously, the Galaxy Fund bought 4 billion US dollars worth of international crude oil futures at an average price of US$20.4 per barrel. The value of this batch of crude oil futures has now risen to US$5.13 billion. In just over ten days, the floating profit exceeded 1.1 billion US dollars! After arriving at this number, Xia Yu''s mouth curled up and he was in a good mood. "Don''t worry, don''t worry, the price will rise!" On the other hand, international crude oil prices have skyrocketed and Iran has imposed an oil embargo on the United States, which has reduced the amount of oil shipped from the Middle East to the United States, which has caused a certain impact on the tanker transportation industry. The share prices of several major shipping companies in Hong Kong have been affected. Although Huaguang Shipping is mainly engaged in container ships, it also has a large business in oil tanker transportation, which has also been affected. Seeing Huaguang Shipping, Xia Yu thought that he hadn''t paid attention to the progress of the equity acquisition after so long, and he didn''t know how Wang Qi was doing. Thinking of this, after Xia Yu spent more than an hour dealing with the backlog in his hands, he ordered the subordinates in the chairman''s office to notify various companies to obtain the approved documents, and then planned to leave for Jiuding Securities. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the house, he saw Gavin Peter approaching with a pile of documents. After seeing Xia Yu, he immediately squeezed a smile and quickened his pace. "It seems that I won''t be able to go to Jiuding Securities this morning." Xia Yu secretly said in his heart. Then he smiled and called Gavin Peter, who hadn''t seen him for a long time, into the office. After seated, Xia Yu asked, "Gavin, when did you come back?" Before he arranged for Yan Wenhan and Gavin Peter to start their international expansion respectively, and then Gavin Peter went to Europe. Gavin Peter said with a smile: "Chairman, I came back three days ago. I wanted to report to you. I learned that you haven''t come back. So today I knew you were in the office, so I came here." "These days, I have ran through all European countries and checked the publishing field of each country. This is an investigation report written by me. Please see it." After speaking, Gavin Peter took out a report from the stack of documents and presented it to Xia Yu with both hands. Xia Yu took it and said, "There is coffee over there, you can pour it yourself, let me see it first!" "Ok!" Gavin Peter responded, then got up and walked to the coffee machine in the corner. At this time, Xia Yu looked up slowly. It was the end of the 1970s, and the European economy was in a downturn. European people were struggling to live, let alone spending on books and magazines. For this reason, the European publishing and media market has been declining every year. The only thing that maintains rapid growth is West Germany. The survey report stated that if you want to gain a foothold in the publishing industry in continental Europe, it is best to choose to establish a foundation in France, West Germany, and Spain at the same time, and then stabilize it before entering the markets of other countries. The most important of these is West Germany, followed by France, and finally Spain. Regardless of the fact that the two Germanys are not yet unified, West Germans are most willing to invest in spiritual civilization. Last year, 62,414 books were published, making it the third largest publishing country in the world, second only to the United States and the red polar bear. After analyzing the publishing market in Europe , the publishing market in West Germany, France and Spain is listed. In West Germany, according to statistics from the West German Publishing Association, there are more than 2,100 publishing houses nationwide, of which 65 are large publishing houses, more than 80 medium-sized publishing houses, and the rest are small publishing houses. Publishing houses are mainly concentrated in the three publishing centers of West Germany, namely Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Cologne. At this time, the top five publishing companies in Germany are Bertelsmann Publishing Group, German Art Book Publishing House, and Holz Brink Publishing Group, Springer Publishing Company, Karl Hansel Publishing Company. Behind each publishing company, Gavin Peter marked the characteristics, the prospects of the analysis, the approximate value and the possibility of being acquired. In addition to publishing companies, the survey report also listed in detail the large-scale book wholesale companies in West Germany, the top five large bookstores in the country, and so on. After the West German publishing houses, France and Spain are also listed. It took Xia Yu nearly an hour after reading this thick nearly 20-page investigation report. But after reading it, Xia Yu had a clear impression of the publishing market in West Germany, France and Spain. Putting down the investigation report in his hand, Xia Yu praised: "Gavin, you have done a solid job and done a good job!" Gavin Peter smiled and said modestly: "This is my job, and I should do it." In fact, the same is true. The better the preliminary investigation work is, the better it will be for the subsequent international expansion. There is also competition and comparison within the consortium. Of course, Gavin Peter does not want to be compared with others, and hopes to develop the company as much as possible. . Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of tea and said, "Gavin, since your investigation is so clear, which companies do you plan to acquire and why?" v3 Chapter 727: Super gold mine In fact, after reading the survey report, combined with the memory of his previous life, Xia Yu already had the best acquisition target in his mind. However, Gavin Peter worked hard, Xia Yu still wanted to hear his thoughts, so as not to dampen his motivation. Gavin Peter lifted his spirits, immediately sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said the already prepared abdominal manuscript: "Chairman, I think the publishing market is still in a low period, whether it is the acquisition of any large-scale publishing house. The society is worth it, so my opinion is that it is undoubtedly the best to acquire one of the top three publishing houses in various countries." "West Germany, I intend to acquire Bertelsmann Publishing Group." "In France, I plan to acquire European Publishing Exchange." "In Spain, I intend to acquire Salvat Publishing Company." "And I heard that Fritz, the chairman of Itaka Distribution Group, which integrates publishing and wholesale, has died. The heir, Fritz, does not want to run the book business and wants to make a difference in the mining industry. Their equity wants Sold, so I want to buy it too." Xia Yu was not surprised by the first few words of Gavin Peter, but the last words he added caught Xia Yu''s attention. He opened the investigation report again and found information about the Itaka Distribution Group. According to the information, Itaca is Spain''s largest book wholesaler, not only controlling Spain''s largest book club-Readers Club, but also a shareholder of Spain''s second largest chain bookstore, Crystal Bookstore. Generally speaking, the distribution channels of books and periodicals are: publisher-wholesaler-bookseller-reader, or publisher-bookseller-reader. And Itaca is undoubtedly the most powerful middleman in Spain, and it also operates some publishing businesses. Although it is not particularly strong, it is also one of the top ten in Spain relying on its strongest publishing capabilities. Level. The Fritz mentioned by Gavin Peter is the original chairman of Itaka, and the Fritz family holds 35.8% of the shares. As long as the equity in the hands of Fritz is acquired, then it is inherently invincible, and if the most powerful Salvador publishing company is acquired, it can instantly become the hegemon in the Spanish publishing field. And books from publishing houses acquired in France and West Germany can easily enter the Spanish market. It can be said that if Gavin Peter''s plan is successful, the benefits are very great. It''s just that all of this still exists only in assumptions. Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "Gavin, if your plan can succeed, it will undoubtedly be the best situation." "But if you want to acquire the largest publishing house in the three countries, you should understand the difficulty. It is too conspicuous and can easily cause obstruction by the local government." Gavin Peter looked down, nodded and said, "Chairman, you are right, but I think I still have a certain degree of certainty. I want to try." "Try it?" Xia Yu murmured softly. Looking at Gavin Peter, who looked solemnly, Xia Yu didn¡¯t want to hit his self-confidence. Anyway, he said that he was right before. Now is the low period of the European publishing industry. No matter which one is acquired, there will be no loss in the future. The only difference is The question is which company has the largest value growth rate. Obviously Gavin Peter believes that it is the largest publishing house in each country with the greatest value potential. Xia Yu did not argue with him, but slightly nodded and said: "Yes, if you want to try, try hard, and I will give you the greatest funding. stand by." Gavin Peter was immediately overjoyed, nodded and thanked, "Thank you, Chairman!" Xia Yu smiled and said: "After reading your survey report, I also have some ideas. It just happens that I have sufficient funds now, so you can buy more publishing companies outside of your plan." Gavin Peter was surprised, but for this kind of thing, he didn''t want to happen more. He concentrated on waiting for the chairman Xia Yu. Xia Yu flipped through the investigation report, then took out a pen, circled it, and then flipped a few pages and circled it twice. After the circle, he handed over the investigation report to Gavin Peter and said: "Look first, these three companies are also listed as acquisition targets, and they will try their best to acquire." Gavin Peter was so surprised that he found the place Xia Yu circled. A publishing company is circled in each of the three countries. They are Springer Press, ranked third in West Germany, Hachette Publishing Group, ranked fifth in France, and Planetary Press, ranked third in Spain. Gavin Peter furrowed his brows and carefully looked at the survey data of these three companies, and found that it is not surprising. The only special one is Hachette Publishing Group, which also owns six magazines, and its parent company pulls Gad¨¨re Group is chasing equity in French Airbus. These publishing houses are nothing special, and Gavin Peter can''t see where the chairman is worthy of attention. He searched his own memory, still a little ignorant. Seeing Gavin Peter''s incomprehensible expression, Xia Yu smiled and said: "Gavin, these companies have certain characteristics. You can buy them. You will learn more about it later and you should be able to discover something. " Xia Yu didn''t explain it, because it was selected based on the memory of his previous life. Nothing has happened yet and there is no way to explain it. Can he say that Spain''s Planetary Publishing House will become Spain''s largest book publisher in the future? Can he say that Spain¡¯s largest Salvador publishing company has been acquired by Planetary Publishing? Not only that, the planetary group that evolved behind the Planetary Press also involves the fields of culture, education and training, information services, and entertainment. It has considerable influence in the original Spanish colonies of South America. The awards established are also Spain''s main literary awards. As for the Springer Publishing House, the third in West Germany at this time, it has obvious characteristics and is very prominent in science and technology and academic publishing. Later generations have become one of the largest science and technology publishing houses in the world, and it has a huge influence among senior elites. . And the most valuable of the three publishing houses selected by Xia Yu is the Hachette Publishing Group, which ranks fifth in France at this time and is valued at 10 million francs (about 6 million pounds)~www.novelhall.com ~The current Hachette Publishing Group does not have a prominent publishing business. Among the six magazines under the subsidiary Hachette-Philip Burch Press and Magazine Publishing Group, four of them are also at a loss. But what Gavin Peter did not expect was that Hachette Publishing Group later made a gorgeous counterattack. As soon as the French economy improved, Hachette Publishing Group''s revenue rose automatically. The most prominent of these is undoubtedly its subsidiary Hachette-Philippucci Press and Magazine Publishing Group. At this time, the loss-making "elle" and "" magazines, after entering the 1990s, the sales of each issue were It has broken through 10 million copies and has a huge influence in the fashion industry. At this time, the most powerful magazine in the French fashion industry, "Boundaries", has been dumped. In addition, Hachette-Philippeche Newspaper and Magazine Publishing Group relied on huge profits to vigorously merge and become the world''s largest newspaper and magazine publishing group that publishes more than 260 periodicals and newspapers. By the time, Hachette Group ranked first in the world publishing industry with an annual turnover of 7.37 billion US dollars. In 2006, Hachette Group acquired Time Warner Publishing Group, the fifth largest publishing company in the United States at the time, at a price of US$537 million, and became the world''s three largest publishing group in one fell swoop. This potential big gold mine was worth only 10 million francs at this time, only about 6 million pounds. This kind of leak was seen by Xia Yu, and it would be impossible to tolerate it if he didn''t pick it up. After winning it, Xia Yu will have a huge influence in the French fashion industry in the future. At that time, he can enter the French fashion industry and the profitable luxury goods industry can easily enter. Moreover, its parent company, Lagard¨¨re Group, is chasing the shares of Airbus. It is also possible to sell the Hachette Group accumulated at this time to raise itself, and the acquisition will not be too difficult. v3 Chapter 728: It is a profit of several hundred million Gavin Peter nodded solemnly and said, "Chairman, I understand, I will do my best to complete the work!" At this time, Gavin Peter was high-spirited. If six publishing houses and one publishing distributor can acquire them, Jiuding Book Publishing House will complete a qualitative leap. Now Jiuding Book Publishing House is just the overlord of Hong Kong and Austria, and the top publishing group of Island Publishing House. Its overall strength is first-class in the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia. Outside of Asia, that is, having a certain influence in the UK, it acquired the Guinness Book of World Records. But as long as the strategic acquisition is completed, even if only half of it is completed, it will be enough to transform Jiuding Book Publishing Company. "Well, come on, I believe you won''t let me down!" Xia Yu smiled and encouraged, and he had certain confidence in Gavin Peter. According to the trajectory of the past life, the current future has served as the president of Penguin Publishing Group. He has been in charge for several decades, and the Penguin Publishing Group has made large acquisitions and built it into the world''s largest publishing group. There is absolutely no doubt about his ability. Now that he can give him full financial support, there is no reason that Gavin Peter would do worse. "Chairman, then I''ll go back and make a plan first." Gavin Peter got up and said. Xia Yu also got up and said, "Well, I will say hello to Liu Tianci, and then you can just contact him directly." "Ok!" After sending Gavin Peter out of the office door, Xia Yu checked the time and found that it was half past eleven, so he went straight home. Back at the residence, the nanny was already cooking lunch, and Xia Yu found that Li Qian was not in the living room. But her shoes had been placed at the door, and she had obviously returned. "Sir and Madam are in the room." The nanny who brought the food reminded in a low voice. "Well, I got it!" After speaking, Xia Yu went straight upstairs and saw Li Qian in the bedroom. It''s just that Li Qian was sitting at the desk looking at the file intently, and didn''t notice Xia Yu appearing at the door. Xia Yu was a little curious, knocked on the door of the room, and awakened Li Qian. Seeing Xia Yu, Li Qian stood up from the table with a smile, and rushed towards Xia Yu: "A Yu, you are back, I''m sorry, I didn''t notice." "It doesn''t matter, what are you looking at, so serious!" "The fund has collected some information. Sister Ling would let people do charity projects, but I wanted to participate personally, so I took some of the information home. Just now I was thinking about how to help the poor children." Li Qian pursed her lips and said truthfully. Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s face for a while, looking at the firmness in her eyes, he smiled: "Well, you have to participate in it to understand, come on!" Xia Yu scratched Li Qian''s nose and said affectionately: "But before you work, you have to eat yourself, let''s go, go down and eat first, and then cook after eating." Li Qian tapped her head lightly, and responded deftly: "Yeah!" After that, the two went downstairs arm in arm. After lunch, Xia Yu also designed a charity plan with Li Qian, and did not rest until half past one. At three o''clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu arrived at Jiuding Securities Company and found Wang Qi in the office. "Wang Qi, how is the situation of Huaguang Shipping and Huaguang Real Estate?" As soon as he entered the office, Xia Yu sat down on the sofa and asked straight into the subject. Wang Qi immediately got up from the desk and found a blue file box from the cabinet behind. After Xia Yu opened the box, Wang Qi began to report the results like a few treasures. "Chairman, the stocks of these two companies have been hunted down, and the stock prices have now rebounded slightly." "Among them, Huaguang Shipping started to buy the bottom when it fell to about 620 million and acquired 22% of the equity at a total cost of 139 million Hong Kong dollars." "Huaguang Real Estate''s share price fell to 510 million Hong Kong dollars at its lowest point. The stock price began to rise after the hands-on dips. A total of 27.6% of the shares were acquired at a cost of 143 million Hong Kong dollars." "Now the market value of Huaguang Shipping has risen back to 680 million Hong Kong dollars, and the market value of Huaguang Real Estate has risen back to 570 million Hong Kong dollars." "In addition, short-selling Huaguang Shipping made a profit of 115.60 million Hong Kong dollars, and short-selling Huaguang Real Estate made a profit of 65.6 million Hong Kong dollars, with a total profit of 181.2 million Hong Kong dollars!" Seeing this detailed result, Xia Yu smiled satisfied and praised: "Not bad!" "Thanks for the praise, Chairman!" Before the unprecedented market value, the market value of Huaguang Shipping was 1.28 billion Hong Kong dollars and the market value of Huaguang Real Estate was 920 million Hong Kong dollars. But later, the two companies were suppressed by short selling to 620 million and 510 million. Huaguang Shipping fell by more than 50%, and Huaguang Real Estate fell by more than 40%. However, the two companies lost a combined market value of 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Xia Yu made more than 180 million Hong Kong dollars from it, which is not too small. Now the acquisition of so many shares in the two companies has cost a total of 282 million Hong Kong dollars. After the market value recovers later, even if the market value no longer breaks through, cashing out these holdings can make a profit of more than 260 million Hong Kong dollars. Coupled with short-selling profits, net profit of more than 400 million yuan ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is definitely a big profit. So Xia Yu suddenly had the idea of ??starting a few more companies. Fortunately, he was only thinking for a moment, not so stupid as to provoke anger and resentment. The Zhao family was in his hands this time. He took care of the Zhao family''s righteousness and sat upright, and no one could blame it. But if he doesn''t know how to constrain and robs other big families for no reason, it will seriously disrupt the financial order, not only will offend the Hong Kong government, but will also make all the big families fight against him. After the incident subsides, you don''t have to worry about acquiring the company normally. Xia Yu put the stock certificate and contract and other materials back into the blue file box and handed them back to Wang Qi, and exhorted: "Huaguang Shipping''s future is bleak, and all of it will be cashed out when the stock price goes up." "On the contrary, Huaguang Real Estate can continue to hold it. When the time is right, I will let you cash out and then cash out." In the past few years, the real estate industry has experienced an astonishing growth. The stock price of Huaguang Real Estate Company definitely still has a lot of room to rise. It is the best time to cash out before the 1983 stock market crash, and continue to buy bottoms after cash out. Then after the stock market crash in 1983, the HSI was around 600 points, and before the global stock market crash in 1987, it would rise to about 4,000 points, which is nearly six times the room for gains. At that time, it will be the most The best choice. "Ok!" After Wang Qi responded, he locked the file box back into the safe. Then he sat down again and reported something to Xia Yu: "Chairman, there is something to report to you, which is about Wing Lung Bank." "Wing Lung Bank plans to go public, and now Standard Chartered Bank is the main push behind the scenes. In order to raise the stock price, the senior management of Wing Lung Bank contacted me and planned to make our company one of the underwriters." PS: It''s the end of the month, please recommend a monthly pass, thank you! () v3 Chapter 729: Standard Chartered Bank acquisition plan changes "Wing Lung Bank is going to be listed?" Xia Yu raised his brows, murmured in his mouth, thinking in his head. He remembered that Wing Lung Bank was a medium-sized bank in Hong Kong, and it was not too high among medium-sized banks. The bank was under the control of the Wu Yi Sun family. However, Wing Lung Bank has a relatively solid foundation. It has been established for more than 40 years. There is a 25-story building with an area of ??more than 145,000 square feet in the middle of Des Voeux Road in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island. And in 1975, a bank center was built on Nitton Road in Mong Kok. The building is 300 feet high and has 25 floors, with a total area of ??more than 245,000 square feet. It can be said that the current buildings are better than those of Jiuding Bank. It seems that the former Wing Lung Bank was later wholly acquired by China Merchants Bank for more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the bank''s total assets reached more than 20 billion US dollars. Generally speaking, although Wing Lung Bank is only a medium-sized bank, it is a high-quality bank with very stable development. With the good conditions for listing, it is no wonder that Standard Chartered Bank wants to promote its listing. It''s just that although he had known it before, Xia Yu''s memory was a little fuzzy, and he asked Wang Qi. "In what year did Standard Chartered Bank become a shareholder of Wing Lung Bank? What is the shareholding ratio?" Wang Qi apparently had done related work before, and immediately replied: "Standard Chartered Bank acquired a stake in Wing Lung Bank in 1973 and now holds 20% of the shares." After finishing speaking, Wang Qi added again: "Originally, when Jiuding Bank did not rise, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank were fighting, but after the rise of Jiuding Bank, it caused a certain impact on Standard Chartered Bank. The influence is weak, so Standard Chartered plans to list Wing Lung Bank to increase the influence of Standard Chartered Bank." ¡°The customer base of Standard Chartered Bank overlaps with HSBC, and the overlap with Jiuding Bank is smaller. So it is mainly to compete with HSBC. For Wing Lung Bank¡¯s listing, Standard Chartered does not agree to let HSBC be the underwriter. The stock price came to us." "Although Standard Chartered has some opinions, the Wu family is already dissatisfied with Standard Chartered''s stopping them from looking for HSBC as an underwriter, so due to circumstances, they did not stop it." Xia Yu nodded slightly, understanding what the Wu Yisun family did. For any company to go public, it must find a strong brokerage or financial company as its stock underwriter, so that the stock price can be made as high as possible, and the confidence of stockholders can be strengthened so that the company can maintain a high stock price after listing. At this time, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is the securities company with the strongest strength and influence in HeungKong. It underwrote many companies before and after the listing, and achieved good results. The reputation is quite good. It is not surprising that Wing Lung Bank came to the door. It was a good thing that Wing Lung Bank came to the door, which proved that Jiuding Securities had a good reputation. They came to send money, and Xia Yu could not be turned away. It''s just that Wing Lung Bank has achieved a high stock price after its listing. As one of the major shareholders, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely benefit from this, which will drive the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank to rise. This made Xia Yu frown instead. Because when he was in London in May, he had already made a two-year plan to acquire Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland. At this time, Bright Fund has already started. If the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank rises, it will inevitably increase the cost of acquisition. The profit earned from the underwriting of Wing Lung Bank¡¯s listing will definitely not be as good as the increased acquisition cost, and overall it will be a loss. Moreover, the listing of Standard Chartered Bank''s stock price and the expansion of its influence will have a certain impact on his acquisition plan. It''s just that since Wing Lung Bank has started the listing process, he can''t stop it at all. Even if he does not let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. underwrite, Wing Lung Bank can also find other brokers. Some headaches. Xia Yu took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and thought. Seeing the strangeness of the chairman, Wang Qi realized something was wrong, and quietly pondered what went wrong. "It seems that the plan has changed a little bit, and we have to do both ends!" For a long time, Xia Yu''s brows eased, and a thought flashed in his mind. Bright Fund is far away in London, starting from the secondary market, because Standard Chartered Bank was listed in London. However, Standard Chartered Bank has been in Hong Kong for so long, and many of its shares have been dispersed to many British and Chinese comprador families in Hong Kong. It is unrealistic to expect them to sell their stocks to the exchange. Therefore, the best way is to trade privately and unknowingly purchase the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in your own name. However, it is really inappropriate for Jiuding Securities to do it. The goal is too obvious and it is easy to cause trouble. Standard Chartered Bank is wary. The best way is to get other people to come forward, and Jiuding Securities will sign an agreement with it in private so that the other party will buy and hold it on behalf of the offspring, and wait until a critical time to gather a fatal blow. It''s just that you need to make a rigorous plan, and you have to communicate well with the Bright Fund to avoid problems inside yourself. Thinking of this, Xia Yu decided to tell Wang Qi the plan of the Bright Fund. "Wang Qi, I made the Bright Fund in London..." "You go to communicate with George Berkeley, and you will make a rigorous plan on your side to coordinate the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank in the most secure way." Before Wang Qi had no idea that the chairman was still playing Standard Chartered Bank, he suddenly heard this task and felt the blood surge in his heart. Standard Chartered Bank, holding the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, is an old Hong Kong giant bank. If it can be acquired, the strength of Jiuding Financial Group will increase sharply, which will greatly benefit Jiuding Securities. And Jiuding Bank + Standard Chartered Bank can instantly surpass HSBC in Xiangjiang and become the financial hegemon of Xiangjiang. This kind of important task was entrusted to him and he felt a heavy sense of trust and responsibility. He nodded heavily and said solemnly, "Chairman, I will do my best to complete this work." "Well, this is the phone number of the general manager''s office of the Bright Fund. You can call George Berkeley directly. I will say okay to him and you will contact him then." With that, Xia Yu took out a pen and paper and wrote a phone number on it. Wang Qi solemnly accepted, "Okay." At this moment, a knock on the door sounded: "Tok!" "General manager, are you there?" Xia Yu and Wang Qi in the room stopped talking. Looking at Wang Qi''s questioning eyes, Xia Yu nodded slightly. Wang Qi said in a deep voice, "Come in!" As soon as the voice fell, the door opened, revealing a young man in his twenties. The young man did not expect Xia Yu to be there, and immediately said hello: "Hello, chairman, general manager!" Xia Yu nodded with a smile. The young man walked in confidently and presented the documents in his hands to Wang Qi and said, "General Manager, this is an action plan made by our team." "Well, put it here, I will look for you after I finish reading it!" Wang Qi said. "Ok!" The young man responded softly, then smiled at Xia Yu and nodded, preparing to leave the office. Just as the young man was about to walk out of the office, Xia Yu, who felt the more familiar with this man, suddenly said, "Wait, what''s your name?" The young man was stunned and happy, and immediately replied loudly: "Back to the chairman, my name is Yuan Tianfan." "Yuan Tianfan?" Xia Yu''s pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at him up and down. The appearance of Yuan Tianfan from the previous life appeared in his mind. It was very similar. The only difference was that Yuan Tianfan was very young and full of vigor. PS: It seems to be a double monthly ticket starting on the 28th, ask for a ticket at the end of the month! v3 Chapter 730: Market controlled by Jews and consortia Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "The spirit is good, work hard, I am optimistic about you!" Encouraged by the idol chairman of the stock god, Yuan Tianfan, who is only 26 years old, was very excited. The smile on his face could not be concealed. He nodded and replied: "Thank you for the praise of the chairman. I will definitely work hard. No Will disappoint you!" "Hmm! Go!" Xia Yu said with a smile. After Yuan Tianfan slowly withdrew from the office, he immediately raised his head and walked away with high spirits. At this time, Wang Qicai asked in a low voice: "Chairman, do you know this Yuan Tianfan?" Xia Yu said casually: "I just heard others say that he is a talent with great potential." Then he asked Wang Qi: "Didn''t he originally work for HSBC? Why did he come here?" Wang Qi smiled and said: "Yes, the chairman. He used to work in HSBC''s profitable bond department. The specific time was 1977." "Some time ago, you asked me to continue to recruit talents and expand the company. I mobilized company employees to list the talents I knew and mobilized contacts. Yuan Tianfan was on the list. I saw that he graduated from the Department of Economics of the University of Chicago. , And joined HSBC as soon as he graduated. After inquiring about his ability to work, he was hired." "I found out that he is still a loyal fan of yours, and the test found that his ability is indeed very strong, so I appointed him as the leader of a newly formed investment team." Xia Yu nodded clearly, suddenly feeling that his fate was a bit strange. It seems that both Li Jiacheng''s left and right arms have come under his command by coincidence. This is the case with Huo Jianning and the same is true for Yuan Tianfan. Former Li Jiacheng''s number one general, Huo Jianning, served as the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and had an amazing record of helping Li Jiacheng earn 160 billion yuan in one fell swoop. He should have entered Li Jiacheng¡¯s Cheung Kong Group after returning from studying in the United States this year. The accountant director, as a result, went to Xia Yu in this life, and now serves as the head of the chairman''s office and the general manager of Tiangong Electronics. Not to mention Yuan Tianfan. In his previous life, he first entered HSBC after graduation and made great achievements. Then he led his later subordinate Liang Botao, known as the "father of Hong Kong red chips," to switch to Citibank. Later, after the global stock market crash in 1987, he was ordered to succeed Li Fuzhao as the president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the world''s youngest chief executive officer, bringing the Hong Kong Stock Exchange out of the quagmire in one fell swoop. After becoming a star in the capital market, he was chased by Li Jiacheng for ten years, and eventually became Li Jiacheng invited to assist his younger son in the military. Using extremely powerful capital operation capabilities, he listed an unknown Yingke Group and annexed Cyberport. , The market value has soared to 220 billion Hong Kong dollars in just 26 days. Later, under the eye of Singapore Telecom, it took only 18 days to seize the food and annex the Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company, bringing the PCCW Group to a market value of 560 billion Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop. A few shots, but they can be fatal. Yuan Tianfan is definitely a world-class master of capital operation, and he was able to take the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange out of the quagmire at the age of thirty-five, which shows his courage and ability. It was such a man in the HeungKong Capital Market in the next few decades, who was dug into the company by Wang Qi at this time, and Xia Yu had to feel happy. As for what would happen to Li Jiacheng without Yuan Tianfan, Xia Yu couldn''t care about it. Anyway, he didn''t cheat on Lao Li once or twice. It''s just that Yuan Tianfan is still just a twenty-six-year-old young man. He definitely has the potential. He definitely hasn''t honed his ability yet. This is a masterpiece of talent and must be polished well. As long as they are trained well, they can definitely become a pillar of the Jiuding Consortium in the future. Thinking of this, Xia Yu told Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, Yuan Tianfan has a very strong potential. You should train him as a pre-president, and don''t forget to strengthen loyalty education." Wang Qi¡¯s expression was serious for an instant. Although he didn¡¯t know why Xia Yu valued Yuan Tianfan so much, he still raised Yuan Tianfan¡¯s importance to several levels in his heart, and solemnly said: "Good chairman, I will train him well, except for He bears the burden and usually takes him by his side and teaches him." "Well, don''t let him know, lest he feel proud." "understand!" "In addition, with the exception of Yuan Tianfan, all potential people in the company are included in the talent training reserve ranks. In addition to strong ability, loyalty is also very important for the backbone of a mature company. You can''t count on digging people from the outside every time. We must build our own talent pool." "Okay, this work has been done before, and I will continue to strengthen it!" After that, Xia Yu inspected Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and was about to leave work. It happened that He Chaoqiong was free in the evening, and he went to the university to pick up He Chaoqiong, and spent the night with her to relax. In the morning of the next day, Yan Wenhan came to his office and reported to him about the company''s expansion. "Chairman, this is my investigation of the U.S. newspaper market and the expansion plan I made. Please have a look!" Xia Yu took the document presented by Yan Wenhan and looked through it. The first is the report on the investigation of the US newspaper market today. The newspaper industry in the United States is very developed and is the world''s largest newspaper market. There are more than ten public newspaper companies that have gone public. Today, the strongest comprehensive strength is the Gannett Group, which went public in 1967. By 1979, Gannett, as a diversified and international media group, had taken shape, with 78 daily newspapers in 33 U.S. states and Guam. , 21 weekly newspapers, 1 national news agency, 7 TV stations and 14 radio stations, as well as outdoor advertising business in the United States and Canada. It was not written in the investigation report, but what Xia Yu knew in his memory was that the Gannett Group founded the first national daily newspaper "USA Today" in the true sense of the United States in 1982. After that, "USA Today" has been Located at the top of the newspaper industry in the United States, even the "Wall Street Journal", which sells more than two million copies per day, is below it The second largest is Dow Jones, and the flagship newspaper is now The Wall Street Journal, which has the largest circulation, also has many newspapers, magazines, and local television and radio stations. Unfortunately, Dow Jones was controlled by the Jews. In addition, there are the "Chicago Times" which owns the fourth place in the United States today, the Times-Mirror Group controlled by the California consortium, the "Washington Post" Group controlled by the Graham family, the Chicago Forum Group, Thomson Newspaper industry, "New York Times" company, Hearst Newspaper Group, James Cox Newspaper Company and other newspaper giants. These newspaper giants are either controlled by Jews, such as the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal of the three major U.S. newspapers, and the two major U.S. weekly magazines, Newsweek and Time. Or it is controlled by a major American consortium. Although American paper media companies are open to the world, for hundreds of years, big fish and small fish have successively merged. More than 60 players have eaten up 90% of the market, and the remaining 10% is left for To those small newspapers across the country. It can be said that it is more difficult for foreigners to enter. From Yan Wenhan''s investigation report, it is not difficult to see that his words are rather dull, and his feelings are a little heavy between the lines. However, Xia Yu is more optimistic, because he knows very well that there are still many opportunities in this era. If we enter the 21st century, American media, including print media and television stations, will gather in the hands of six private companies. There are still more than 60 players left, and their strengths are definitely uneven, and there is definitely a chance. Sure enough, when Xia Yu put down the investigation report and opened up the plan made by Yan Wenhan, he instantly understood Yan Wenhan''s thinking. PS: Ask for votes at the end of the month, thank you! v3 Chapter 731: 1 Flagship 2 Strategic plan for wings Yan Wenhan''s plan is to first set up a big banner with all his strength and win a first-class newspaper for Jiuding Newspaper Company as the flagship newspaper, and this newspaper must be in New York, the largest city in the United States. It''s not enough to set up a flagship newspaper, you need two wings. With these two wings, Yan Wenhan chose one in Washington, the capital of the United States, and Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, to choose a newspaper. Although Washington is not one of the top ten major cities in the United States, as a political center, it has its particularities and advantages. Although it has a small population, it can give birth to many large newspapers. As for why the second wing chose Houston on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, Yan Wenhan also explained the acquisition plan. It¡¯s because Los Angeles, the second city in the United States, has a huge advantage in the largest newspaper, the Los Angeles Times. Its sales rank fourth in the United States, and it is controlled by a California consortium. Even if Jiuding Newspaper acquires a top-ranked newspaper, it¡¯s difficult to establish itself. Hold your feet. In Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, the first newspaper is "Chicago Tribune", and its sales volume ranks sixth in the United States. Behind it is the listed newspaper giant Chicago Forum Group. It is also difficult for Jiuding Newspapers to gain a foothold in Chicago and is vulnerable to siege. On the contrary, Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, has the "Houston Chronicle" with the largest sales in Texas, with a daily sales volume of 510,000 copies and more than 20 places in the United States. The most important thing is that this newspaper was not controlled by the Texas consortium, but changed hands in 1974. The owner, Douglas, died in a car accident a month ago. Several children in the family were vying for assets, making a lot of noise in Houston. . Obviously there is a certain amount of room for manipulation. In New York, United States, there are many major newspapers with sales of 500,000 copies, such as The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post, News Daily, Newark Star Chronicle and New York Daily News" etc. "The Wall Street Journal" and "The New York Times" don''t even think about it, now they can''t buy it. The "New York Post" belongs to Robert Murdoch¡¯s News Corporation. It was on the verge of bankruptcy due to a loss of 50 million a year in 1976. Robert Murdoch took the opportunity to acquire it, changing its style and increasing violence and sex. The news, scandals and case reports, and the use of exaggerated and exaggerated language to attract readers, and rely on the fight with the "Daily News" to increase exposure, has been out of the quagmire, and now has a daily circulation of 780,000 copies about. "Tribune Daily" does not need to think, in the hands of the Chicago Forum Group. The "Newark Star Chronicle" is in the hands of the newspaper giant Hearst News Group, and it is not available. The only difference is "New York Daily News". It is not affiliated with any larger media company. It is the private property of real estate billionaire Mott Zuckerman. The daily circulation is now an average of 70 About ten thousand copies. Yan Wenhan believes that this newspaper is most likely to be acquired, as long as the bid is high enough. As for another winged newspaper option in Washington, it is the Washington Star, formerly known as the Washington Daily News. This newspaper is a very popular newspaper in the eyes of most African Americans in the United States. Washington ranks third locally, second only to the "Washington Post" and "Washington News." The "Washington Daily News" was founded in 1921. In 1972, the Scripps Company, which had been in control for 50 years, sold the newspaper, and then merged with its rival "Washington Evening Star" in 1973 and changed its name to " "Washington Star News", sales jumped to the third place in Washington. Later, it was renamed the current name "Washington Star", with a daily circulation of about 460,000 copies. It¡¯s just that the "Washington Star" has a business problem. This is a hidden danger planted during the merger a few years ago. The staff is too bloated and the expenditure is huge. The merger has caused the "Washington Star" to be unstable in style, and it is not easy for users. With the annual decline, advertising revenue has also declined, and this year has already lost money. If there is no more interference, according to the trajectory of the previous life, the "Washington Star" will go bankrupt in 1981. But now, the "Washington Star" has a problem. It just has a chance to be acquired. It doesn''t matter if the staff is bloated. It just happens that some staff can be assigned to the Jiuding News Agency after the acquisition to consolidate the foundation of the Jiuding News Agency in Washington and New York. After reading Yan Wenhan¡¯s plan, Xia Yu put down the document with satisfaction and praised him: ¡°The choice is very good. If these three newspapers can be acquired, Jiuding Newspaper will issue 1.5 million copies a day in the United States. The above newspapers are definitely enough to gain a foothold." "At that time, we will purchase some small and medium-sized newspapers in big cities across the United States, relying on the development of Jiuding News Agency, and the opportunity to become a major American newspaper industry is not small." Yan Wenhan smiled and nodded and asked: "Chairman, what do you mean?" Xia Yu said without hesitation: "Just do as you planned, and I will give you full support in terms of funds. Be sure to take down these three newspapers." "Especially the most difficult "New York Daily News". Give me money. Even if the premium is doubled or doubled, I will get it!" When it comes to strategic issues in the media field, Xia Yu has never accounted for financial gains and losses. He has always talked about News Corporation as a potential opponent. Now Rupert Murdoch has established a foothold in New York two years ago and has won the more influential New York Post with a daily sales volume of 780,000 copies. News Corp. has a lot of newspapers in other parts of the United States, and has established a firm foothold in the American media field. He is now far behind and must catch up. Even if it is twice the price to win the "New York Daily News", it will be tens of millions of dollars more than the sky, he does not care about this amount of money! As long as you have the "New York Daily News" in your hand, to build a good Jiuding newspaper company there are opportunities to create great value. Understanding the attitude of chairman Xia Yu, Yan Wenhan immediately became proud and promised: "Please rest assured, promise to complete the task!" Xia Yu thought for a while and exhorted: ¡°Now, make preparations for the takeover in advance, and at the same time acquire these three newspapers as quickly as possible. The big deal will be more money. It¡¯s not our site, and the extra money is considered to be paid to buy road money." Xia Yu was worried that the ambitious Rupert Murdoch would be attracted for a long time, especially the "Washington Star", which is likely to attract his attention. After all, Rupert Murdoch is very paranoid about newspapers, and he does everything in order to sell, and it is undeniable that he is a prodigy in the news industry. Even if the bankrupt newspaper gets into his hands, he can still take the lead The newspaper was pulled out of the quagmire. Before he bought the "New York Post", which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and succeeded. It is hard to guarantee that he will not try to repeat the trick on a whim and use it in the "Washington Star". Yan Wenhan''s expression became extremely serious, and he nodded solemnly in response: "Chairman, I understand!" "Chairman, without further ado, then I will leave tomorrow with the team to the United States." "Go, when you get there, you can contact Julian Robertson and Rey Dario. They are masters of the capital market and know the United States better. They should be able to help you." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up paper and pen, wrote the relevant contact information and addresses of Julian Robertson and Rey Dario, and then handed them to Yan Wenhan. "Okay, I will definitely contact them!" "Then chairman, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first." "Go! Come on!" PS: Ask for votes! It will expire if you don''t vote again! () v3 Chapter 732: Hutchison Whampoa Slimming In the early morning of November 20th, cars in the underground parking lot of Jiuding Building in the Kowloon area continued to drive in. The heads of companies under the Jiuding Consortium got out of the cars and entered the elevator to the top of the building. Just today, Xia Yu officially launched the split meeting of Hutchison Whampoa, and the heads of each company have already sharpened their swords. In front of the Jiuding Building, an Englishman stopped and looked up at the huge signboard of the "Jiuding Building" with a very complicated expression. Although the news was received a long time ago, Werry couldn''t help feeling sad when the day came. When he was in danger, he was recruited by HSBC to serve as the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa. He has been supporting him for several years. Only he knows the hardships and distress. He has been holding on to prevent Hutchison Whampoa from being divided, but now that Hutchison Whampoa has been acquired, the dominant power is no longer in his hands, and the fate of being divided is still inevitable after all. I just don''t know what else Hutchison Whampoa can leave after today. "I hope they can be merciful!" Wei Li sighed in his heart, then shook his head to dispel the bad mentality, helped his tie, and walked in with his head bravely. After a while, under the guidance of the staff, he entered the conference hall. As soon as he entered, he immediately attracted the attention of most people in the hall. But most people smiled and nodded at him, showing kindness. Werry was in a better mood, and sat down in the place where his name was placed, and someone immediately sent him a thick document. Werry looked through the official Hutchison Whampoa information, which listed more than 200 companies in Hutchison Whampoa, and wrote the characteristics of each company in concise language. He focused immediately and looked at it carefully. As time passed, people kept coming in, chatting quietly in twos and threes. At this moment, Xia Yu''s figure appeared at the door, and the venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone stood up and looked up. Xia Yu walked to the top seat and sat down, glanced around the venue, and found that all the places where the signs were placed were full of people, obviously all there. "It seems that everyone is very punctual. Now that we are all here, let''s start!" "Everyone has issued a copy of information. You should have seen the rough version before. Now this is the latest detailed version." "Starting from the company with the most serious losses, if any of you think this company has a reinforcing effect on the company you manage, you can make an explanation on the spot and state your own business ideas. If the advantages are obvious, you can directly decide the ownership on the spot. , If the advantage is not obvious, in order to speed up efficiency, it will be discussed on the next agenda." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, looked at Werry sitting in the front row, and said: "Werry, you can speak at any time. If you think there is a company that is more suitable to stay in Hutchison Whampoa, you too It can be put forward, but a strong reason must be given." Wei Li was both heavy and relaxed. He nodded heavily. The heavy reason was that he had to keep the company of Hutchison Whampoa. Relaxed was that he heard the meaning of Xia Yu''s words. Hutchison Whampoa would still exist, and he would still Will be the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa. "Then start now." "The first company..." Immediately after reading the information, two people raised their hands, and Xia Yu ordered one person to start a statement. Xia Yu had notified them more than 20 days in advance, so everyone was fully prepared to take shortcuts and grow the company he manages. At this time, the statement was naturally very process. As long as the reasons are sufficient, Xia Yu directly makes a decision on the spot to determine attribution. If there is any dispute, put it aside for further discussion. The efficiency of negotiation was very high, and the ownership of 38 companies was decided in one morning. At noon, the company¡¯s dining hall will have meals at one point in the afternoon and continue in the morning. Three days passed in a flash. At 5 o''clock in the afternoon on November 22, the high-intensity split meeting finally ended. Hutchison Whampoa, which owns more than two hundred companies, has taken a major lean. At this time, only 52 companies were born. There are so many left. It is because the business of Hutchison Whampoa is too complicated. Many companies under the Jiuding Consortium did not Involved in those industries, so there is no legitimate reason to divide the company more. The most prominent core companies of Hutchison Whampoa only retain Hutchison Whampoa Port Company and Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Company. But the retail business was split, and Watsons Group was split up and merged with Wanning Pharmacy to form a new company, Jiuding Fitness Company. Jiuding Fitness Company has two brands, Wanning Pharmacy and Watsons, and plans are made within the company to make differences. Intensified competition is conducive to market competition. After being stripped out, Parkn¡¯s supermarkets were all merged into Wellcome¡¯s supermarkets. All existing Parkn¡¯s supermarkets were renamed as Wellcome¡¯s Parkn¡¯s supermarkets. In the future, only Wellcome¡¯s supermarkets will be opened instead of Wellcome¡¯s Parkn¡¯s supermarkets. The reason why the fortunes of PARKnSHOP is different from that of Watsons Group is that, unlike Watsons Group, PARKnSHOP has not been established for a long time, and its background is not as deep as Watsons Group. Furthermore, the supermarket market is more competitive. The English name of Wellcome Supermarket is better than that of Baijia Supermarket, which is more advantageous when competing abroad. It is worth mentioning that Hutchison Whampoa originally held 49% of the shares in the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel. This part of the shares was transferred to Jiuding Property Group. Jiuding Real Estate Group established a separate Jiuding Hotel Management Group The Marco Polo hotel brand acquired from the previous acquisition of Wharf, the Mandarin Hotel brand acquired during the acquisition of Land Group, and now Xiangjiang The shares of Sheraton Hotel are all assigned to Jiuding Hotel Management Group for unified operation. Of course, Hutchison Whampoa is not only divided, there are still some gains. That is, the strength of Hutchison Whampoa Port Company has greatly increased. Xia Yu directly decided to merge the Wharf Wharf Terminal Company, which owns three ports, into Hutchison Whampoa Port Company, making the latter immediately own 17 of the 24 Hong Kong terminals, monopolizing 70% at one fell swoop. Market. As a result, Hutchison Whampoa will have the supreme deterrence in the field of Hong Kong ports, Taikoo Dockyard Company will be overshadowed, and it will lose the possibility of competing with Hutchison Whampoa. Yang Dajun, former general manager of Wharf Wharf Company, has another appointment. The two originally owned by Wharf Terminals, HeungKong Tram and Star Ferry (which has merged with HeungKong and Yau Ma Tei Ferry), were merged to form Jiuding Transportation Company. In Xia Yu¡¯s view, the splitting conference now appears to be a success. Hutchison Whampoa¡¯s weight loss has been successful, leaving only two core business ports and real estate. Hutchison Whampoa Port Co. owns a large amount of land and is owned by Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate. Laid a solid foundation. At this time, Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Company can definitely squeeze into the top ten in the Hong Kong real estate industry. Coupled with Xia Yu''s original ownership of Jiuding Real Estate Group, the first in the real estate field, Xia Yu''s voice in the real estate industry has once again strengthened. Other companies have their own gains. After so many companies have been annexed, they will definitely find ways to turn losses into profits. They also have the strength and energy to do it. With the news that Hutchison Whampoa was divided, the attention of various media and bigwigs was attracted, and the reactions were mixed, but Xia Yu no longer cared about this. v3 Chapter 733: Over 100 million profit at every turn In the next few days, Xia Yu inspected several companies. Especially for Global Satellite TV, at this time "Super Girl" has passed the audition and entered the final stage of the major competitions. After more than two months, every competition area has strong or beautiful and strong players who stand out, and huge popularity gradually gathers on these people. In addition, in the past two months, Global Satellite TV and Jiuding Newspapers have joined forces to fancy publicity, and the influence of "Super Girl" is growing. Global Satellite TV¡¯s subscribers across Asia have reached 1.22 million, and the annual fee of 200 Hong Kong dollars per household alone has collected 244 million Hong Kong dollars. And this number of users also means that satellite signal receivers have been sold so much. The retail price of each satellite signal receiver is 400 Hong Kong dollars, and Jiuding Electric alone has reached a turnover of 488 million Hong Kong dollars. The cost of each satellite signal receiver is about one hundred Hong Kong dollars. The factory price of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company is two hundred and fifty Hong Kong dollars, and the gross profit margin is one hundred and fifty Hong Kong dollars. In addition, Jiuding Electric Retail Company also has a gross profit of 150 Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Co. and Jiuding Electric Retailing Co. each earned a gross profit of 183 million Hong Kong dollars in the satellite signal receiver business. Monopolistic exclusive business is indeed very profitable. Generally, in the field of home appliances, a 30% gross profit margin is very good, which is like Xia Yu now, every company has a 150% gross profit margin. , Exposure will definitely make many people crazy, rushing to enter this industry. After mentoring on Universal TV, Xia Yu went to learn about the business of the film industry. With sufficient financial support, Jiang Xieqiang stirred up troubles in Southeast Asia and aggressively acquired movie theaters. A further HK$72 million was spent on the acquisition of 78 cinemas in Southeast Asian countries, bringing the number of cinemas in the Global Cinemas in Southeast Asia to 129 in one fell swoop, narrowing the gap with the Shaw Cinemas in Southeast Asia Arrived at five theaters. And this year, Galaxy Film Company has produced high-quality products one after another. Relying on the advantages of multi-hall theaters, the Global Cinemas line is extremely sensitive to the market and has created a lot of hot movies, making many independent theaters or small theaters join the Global Cinemas line. As a result, the direct management of the global cinema chain and the franchise theaters have reached 205 distribution networks in Southeast Asia. Under Jiang Zhiqiang''s money offensive, the layout of Southeast Asia¡¯s theaters has changed from a situation where the Cathay Theaters and the Shaw Theaters are competing for hegemony to the current three-legged structure of the Cathay Theaters, the Shaw Theaters and the Global Theaters. Cathay Pacific Cinemas distributes films from Golden Harvest, some small and medium-sized film companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan Province, Southeast Asia and Hollywood. Universal Cinemas distributes films from Galaxy Film Company, most of the small and medium-sized film companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan Province and Hollywood. In addition to the films produced by the Shaw Film Company, the Shaw Cinemas also distributes films from Taiwan Province and Hollywood. Practice has proved that the advantages of multi-hall theaters are indeed great, and the market forces the Shaw Cinemas and Cathay Cinemas to follow the global cinemas. But for the box office division model, the Cathay Cinemas and Shaw Cinemas, which are used to being the buyout and distribution of Overlord, are unwilling to change, because the internal differences are very large, and there is no sign of change for the time being, which disappointed the filmmakers in Xiangjiang. . Jiang Zhiqiang was secretly happy about this. He knew that Cathay Pacific Cinemas and Shaw Cinemas were accustomed to overseas buyouts, relying on their mass advantages to make overlord money, and of course he was reluctant to divide the money that could have been in his pocket. Jiang Zhiqiang is anxious that these two companies will not make changes, so that he has more opportunities to continue to expand their advantages. Time will tell who is right! On the afternoon of November 27th, Xia Yu took the curious Li Qian to see the filming scene of "Peerless Twins" invested by Galaxy Film Company. This film was produced by Shaw Films in the previous life, but in this life Gulong¡¯s copyright was copied by Xia Yu, Shaw Films naturally had no chance. The director of this film is Chu Yuan, a well-known director of Hong Kong. It was originally under the umbrella of Cathay Pacific Film Company. Unfortunately, in 1971, Hong Kong Cathay Pacific Co., Ltd. ended the production department and sold Yonghua Studios to Jiahe. Chu Yuan was The Shaw Film Company dug over. And this year, after Wu Siyuan from Galaxy Film Company came to the door again and again. Under the persuasion of benefit and emotion, Chu Yuan moved to Galaxy Film Company, and his brokerage business was signed with Universal Agency. "How is the company''s situation?" When Li Qian curiously watched the actor Diao Wei Ya, Xia Yu asked Wu Siyuan, who was accompanying him. Wu Siyuan thought for a while and said: "It''s very good, because it wants to supplement the film source of the global cinema chain, so far, the company has invested in and shot ten films by itself, and has shot eight films in joint ventures. Relying on the advantages of promotion and distribution, Every movie is profitable, and the specific profit has not yet been calculated." "In December of this year, the company''s big move was the "Peerless Double Pride" in front of us." "In addition, I also invested in Pearl City Production Co., Ltd.''s "Pointing to the Soldiers". The screenwriting department and the marketing department have always believed that this movie will perform well at the box office. This movie has entered the post-editing and dubbing stage. , The promotion has started." Xia Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes." "Nowadays, martial arts films are hot. Now that you have acquired so many martial arts copyrights, don''t miss the opportunity and boldly shoot." Wu Siyuan nodded immediately and said: "Okay!" Xia Yu continued to look at the shooting scene. After hesitating for a while, Wu Siyuan plucked up the courage and said: "Chairman, I have an idea to report to you." Xia Yu raised his brow and said, "Well, let''s talk about it." Wu Siyuan immediately said: "Chairman, now the film market in Xiangjiang is picking up has led to the establishment of many new film companies this year. Our company has invested more films, and found a drawback, that is, the film and television industry. Talent is in short supply." "This has led to the use of poor people in order to make the shooting smooth. This is due to the assistance of a global brokerage company, otherwise the impact will be even greater." "Although Global TV has training courses, it mainly focuses on performance training. There is relatively little training of talents behind the scenes. In the long run, it will have a great impact on the future of the Hong Kong film and television industry." "So my thought is, can we set up several training courses specifically, and we can cultivate talents in various fields internally." Xia Yu frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "You have a good idea." "But it''s a little bit of a family. Xiangjiang does not have a school dedicated to cultivating talents in the film and television industry, so set up an art school." "Just a few days ago, Ma Tengdong and Huang Xizhao also mentioned talents to me, so let''s do it together. Not only can they make a contribution to the Xiangjiang art world, but they can also build the company''s foundation." "In a few days, you will come with Ma Tengdong and Huang Xizhao. Let''s sum up and discuss a specific charter." Wu Siming nodded happily and said, "Okay, thank you Chairman!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, just about to continue walking around with Li Qian. At this moment, an anxious voice came from behind: "Where is the chairman, I have an urgent matter to report." Wu Siyuan immediately looked over. It turned out to be Chen Shufen, the general manager of the Global Brokerage Company. She was looking anxious at this time, panting and running towards this side. Wu Siyuan immediately said to Xia Yu: "The chairman is Manager Chen of the brokerage company." Xia Yu also saw it and told Wu Siyuan: "Go and invite her over." PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! () v3 Chapter 734: Tai Sui breaks ground "Chairman, Mi Yue was taken away by people from the club." Chen Shufen ran over and said anxiously, panting. Xia Yu''s eyes were sharp as a knife, and he asked in a deep voice, "What the **** is going on?" Chen Shufen took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her heart. She quickly said: "Just now, Mi Jiu''s sister Shirley came to the company crying and said that she and her sister Mi Ji were shopping in Tung Choi Street, Nathan Road, Mong Kok. She walked to an alley with a telephone booth. She went to a 7-11 convenience store to buy water. After she came out, she saw a few tattooed men holding her sister¡¯s mouth and pulling into the car. She was scared at the time. When it arrives, then immediately return to the company for help." "According to Shirley, it happened around three ten in the afternoon." Speaking of this, Chen Shufen worried that Xia Yu didn¡¯t know who Mi Yue was, so he added: ¡°Chairman, Mi Yue was originally an artist of Shaw Brothers. Huang Rong, who played "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, is a well-known female in Xiangjiang. Entertainer, although her sister Shirley is only fourteen years old, she also signed a contract with the company." It happened at three ten ten, and now it is three forty-two, half an hour has passed! Xia Yu realized the seriousness of the matter, and this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. He did not procrastinate, called Li Qian who was watching the show, and rushed to the company immediately. Upon returning to the company, Xia Yu made three consecutive calls to Xia Lei, Ma Qianjun, and Chief of Police Han Yili. It happened in Mong Kok, and Xia Lei''s power happened to have developed to Mong Kok, which happened to be clearer to the power of Mong Kok and could help. Not to mention Ma Qianjun. With Xia Yu''s large investment, the net has already covered Xiangjiang, and it is time to test the results! As Xia Yu''s three phone calls ended, the underground undercurrents in Mong Kok surged, and Han Yili also sent a large number of police officers to Mong Kok. After the arrangement, Xia Yu had time to ask Chen Shufen questions. He looked at the uneasy Chen Shufen, and asked in a deep voice, "I remember that there are security guards around the famous artists in the company, where are the people from Mi Yue?" Chen Shufen said with ashamed face: "Chairman, Mi Jiu has a bodyguard, but this time Mi Jiu was on vacation at home. It was Mi Ji who took his sisters to go shopping together. Besides Shirley, there was also one of her sisters. I started from home, so I didn¡¯t bring a bodyguard." Xia Yu was unhappy. From Chen Shufen''s words, Mi Jin had the responsibility, the bodyguard had the responsibility, and the management of the company was not strict enough. He said in a cold tone: "It is because of the chaos in Xiangjiang that I asked you to equip the artists with bodyguards. The bodyguards must also follow along when they are on vacation. Mi Jin himself has to report to the company." Seeing Xia Yu''s face, Chen Shufen felt uneasy and swallowed for fear that the chairman would impose severe punishment on her. Xia Yu glanced at her again and said: "You go to write a review and rectification plan. The next step is to rectify the company. Make sure that there are no loopholes in the management of the company!" Hearing this punishment, Chen Shufen breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, the chairman, for his tolerance. I must take warning!" Xia Yu''s complexion slowed down and asked again: "Where is Shirley?" Chen Shufen immediately replied: "She is still in the company, and the deputy manager is comforting her. I will call her over." Xia Yu raised his hand to stop Chen Shufen, and said, "Take me over!" "Ok!" "Please follow me!" After a while, Xia Yu came to an office and saw two little girls crying with rain, one of them was about 14 or 5 years old, and the other was only 8 or 9 years old. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Shirley forced herself to stop her tears, stood up and whispered, "Hello, Chairman." Although Shirley is young, she is already very beautiful, but her eyes are red and swollen, and her weak and helpless look makes people feel distressed. Xia Yu is a little emotional, rubbing her hair, and comforting: "Don''t worry, I have sent someone I went to find it, and the police also participated, and there will be results soon." "Thank you, Chairman!" It¡¯s okay if Xia Yu didn¡¯t say anything. With that said, Shirley thought about what had happened before, and tears rolled down. She forced herself to stop crying, and bowed to Xia Yu. The words of crying thank Xia Yu. "Big brother, can my sister get it back?" Shirley''s sister, the seven or eight year old girl, also blinked her big red and swollen eyes, looked at Xia Yu expectantly, and asked in a low voice. Xia Yu nodded heavily and said, "Yes, little sister, don''t worry, the elder brother will help you find your sister back." After speaking, Xia Yu asked Shirley: "Shirley, do you remember what that car looks like and what license plate is it?" Shirley thought for a while and said, "It''s a shiny silver-gray van, a very old one, without a license plate." Xia Yu nodded blankly and asked again: "Do you know any other clues?" Shirley thought about it again, shook her head and said, "No more, that''s it." "Okay, I know!" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Chen Shufen and the others and ordered: "You should contact Mi Jiu''s family first. Be sure to calm their emotions. Everything awaits my news." After speaking, Xia Yu comforted Shirley and her sister again, then turned around, taking Li Wuming away with a cold face. "Call Shang Yan Shining and let him take someone to accompany me to Mong Kok." Walking out of the room, Xia Yu immediately said to Li Wuming. Li Wuming nodded and immediately went to the office to make a call. Sitting in the car, Xia Yu''s eyes were cold, thinking of various things about the Xiangjiang entertainment circle in his previous life. Xiangjiang is indeed chaotic. There have been many bad incidents in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle in the previous life. The influence of the community on the entertainment circle is very large, and it can even be said to be unscrupulous. There were kidnappings, tormenting votes, wanton abuse, and many glamorous actresses suffered, and even lost their lives. And the bigger the reputation, the easier it is to be targeted, such as Shu Qi, Liu Jialing, Zhang Baizhi, Cai Huimin, and Bai Bingbing. Fame is as big as Mei Yanfang and Lizhi, if it weren''t for spending 10 million to calm down, it wouldn''t be better if it weren''t for business leaders to come forward. As for the male stars, needless to say, Cheng Long and Hua Zi are awesome, they are not still being coerced. Now Mi Jin was taken away by members of the club in broad daylight, and it was said that it was not good for her to film. After all, Mi Jin is also very famous now. He is a well-known actress in Xiangjiang. If she is asked to shoot salty and wet movies, it will definitely cause madness. Xia Yu would come here to doubt it because Xia Lei told him before that many clubs saw him making money, and they also entered the film industry to get a share. At that time, Xia Yu was worried about whether something bad would happen, but he didn''t expect it to happen now, and he still focused on his company. No matter what, if it gets into his hands, he will never let it go. If this matter is not handled well, not to mention where his face will be put, it is said that the company will put everyone at risk, so how can he make money with peace of mind? ? Xiangjiang''s movie market is unable to hold a foothold, still want to wrestle with Hollywood giants? "I hope it''s still too late!" Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes. v3 Chapter 735: This chicken is fat enough, just kill it! The car quickly shuttled through Kowloon and soon came to the gate of Jiwu Dao Wuguan in Mong Kok. Two minutes after Xia Yu sat down, Xia Lei walked in, wearing a windbreaker. "A Yu, here I am!" "how is the situation?" Xia Yu asked quickly. Xia Lei shook his head and said: "I''m still investigating for the time being, but now there are suspicious targets. That street and the nearby streets are all peaceful sites. I have ordered people to focus on the people''s movements in Anle." "Ease?" Xia Yu frowned, feeling that the name was a bit familiar, and he had definitely heard it somewhere. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s doubts, Xia Lei immediately explained: ¡°A Yu, Anle¡¯s full name He Anle, also called a water room or a soda room, was originally a Tangkou under the Sanhe Club and Shenghe. Later, it developed and grew from Heshenghe. China¡¯s independence from China has its main base in Omen, but there are activities in Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Sham Shui Wa, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Chai Wan and Yuen Long." "There are two halls in the Yau Tsim Mong district, of which there is one hall in Mong Kok with around 700 members, and one hall in Yau Ma Tei has more than 600 people." "Including Omen and Xiangjiang, there are eight or nine thousand Anle members. Among them, there are more than four thousand people from all parts of Xiangjiang. The number is currently more than mine. But in terms of overall combat effectiveness, I am not afraid of him!" "Soda room?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and muttered in his mouth. After Xia Lei''s introduction, Xia Yu finally remembered that he did read the news about the soda room in his previous life. At that time, Anle Talking Ren Shui Fang Lai had a fierce struggle with the big man Beng Yaju of the digital pile, and it was a sensation. Xia Yu said in a deep voice: "Don''t worry about whether it is more than 4,000 people or a mob. If they did it, Xiangjiang would have no peace!" Xia Lei''s heart shuddered and he felt Xia Yu''s anger. He nodded heavily and said, "A Yu, let me prepare people first. Once I find out, I will immediately listen to your dispatch." Xia Yu nodded: "Yeah!" After that, Xia Lei hurried away. After another two minutes, Xia Yu heard the roar of engines coming from the door, and after a while saw Yan Shining walk in quickly. "Boss, I have kept you waiting!" "I just arrived, how many people did you bring?" "There are fifty-five people at the door, and there are more than one hundred and fifty others who have been scattered around, all of whom are proficient in combat, and the group with the longest training time." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction: "That''s okay, now wait for the news here, sit down and drink tea!" Aegis Security has never stopped expanding. After more than a year of development, the number of the company has exceeded 800. Under Yan Shining''s super military training, each of them is a determined and powerful player. At least it is a trivial matter to deal with the people of the community. If the team cooperates, as long as the gun is not fired, a ten-person team can defeat hundreds of people. With these people, there are Yan Shining and Li Wuming beside him, Xia Yu''s safety is not a problem, not to mention that there are people in the net protecting him, no one can threaten him. Not long after Yan Shining came, the expressionless Ma Qianjun also came. And it also brought good news. "Boss, I found the position. It was done by a happy person, but the location of the building is not good. I let people observe it and it is not easy to break through. But before I come, I confirm that the person is still safe for the time being." After speaking, Ma Qianjun looked at Xia Yu, waiting for his order. Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered: "I will let Xia Lei negotiate first, and your people are prepared for rescue. Under special circumstances, all means are allowed to ensure her safety." "it is good!" Ma Qianjun responded and left quickly. ... "Is that this? A Kun, you go in and negotiate and let the tall guy come out." Xia Yu rolled down the car window, looked at the dilapidated house in front of him with the door locked, and then looked around. He seemed to be able to see the hidden net of people. He retracted his gaze and ordered a subordinate. "Good boss!" Then, the young man who asked A Kun to get out of the car, walked to the door with his head high, and slapped the door hard. At this time, on the second floor, a middle-aged man with a height of 1.8 meters and a shaved head was sitting down on a wicker chair, smoking a cigarette, playfully watching Mi Jin curled up in the corner panicked, and laughed. "Miss Mi Yue, as long as you sign this paper and make a movie for me, I promise you won¡¯t do anything to you." Immediately afterwards, he instantly became cold, grinning and said: "Of course, if you disagree, then it is hard to say what will happen." "Hahaha..." The group of younger brothers behind Gao Guy immediately laughed. One of them had a scar on his face, and the middle-aged man with the same shaved head licked his mouth and suggested: "Big brother, why bother to talk to her, anyway, we must shoot the real gun. It is better for us to be cool. Huang Rong¡¯s big star, we haven¡¯t tried a star yet! Hey..." The proposal of the scarred bald man made several other people eager to move, and they all suggested: "Yes, big man, you will reward us after you are finished..." Hearing the words of several people, Mi Jie''s face was full of horror, and she kept shrinking into the corner, but she was already back against the wall, and her feet could only move on the spot. At this time, she felt that her life was gloomy, and her heart was extremely sad, and she regretted not taking the bodyguard with her. The Gao guy is also a little ready to move, but he is still a little scrupulous, at least with the agreement signed by Mi Ji he is more tenable. And he also thinks more long-term, as long as Mi Ji compromises once, then he opens this head, and it will be easier to talk about in the future. Compared with the coolness of the moment, he has to consider money as a leader. As long as he has money, he is more beautiful than Mi Ji He can find a lot of them. And as long as Mi Ji got out of the sea, he would not be able to succeed at that time. However, in order to further compromise Mi Jin, Gao Lao pretended to hesitate, and he really frightened Mi Jin. At this moment, a loud knock on the door came from downstairs, and the tall guy who just wanted to speak suddenly frowned. He instructed one of his men: "Go and see." "Leave two people here to guard, and the others will gather their hands to prevent accidents!" And he took out a weapon from the drawer and loaded the bullet. After a while, the subordinate who came downstairs ran over with a heavy face and reported to Gao Laohui: "Big brother, someone downstairs is calling to say that Thunder Tiger wants to see you!" The tall guy didn''t react at first, frowned and blurted out, "Which Thunder Tiger?" "It''s the one from the Tigers!" The subordinate said immediately. The Gao''s pupils shrank, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he subconsciously looked at Mi Jin. He hesitated for a while, immediately picked up the phone on the desk, and made a few consecutive calls. The orders were very uniform, all of which were to strengthen guard and bring people here. After the phone call, he asked the two younger brothers to look at Mi Jiu, and he went downstairs, sat down first in the inner hall, and said to one younger brother: "Go and invite them in!" After a while, Xia Lei in a trench coat walked in with four strong little brothers. He was unceremonious, staring at Gao Guy as soon as he entered the door and asked: "Gao GuyDid you catch Mi Ji?" The tall man''s face sank and he said playfully, "So what? Isn''t it so?" Xia Leihu glared, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Man, you should understand that some people can''t move, and you give them to me intact, then forget about it." The tall guy sneered: "Joke, Thunder Tiger, I respect you as a person, but this is Mong Kok, not Kowloon City, and it is not your turn to tell me!" "Besides, I just asked her to come over and shoot a movie. I will take the money. Can''t you just allow you to make money and not let me make money?" Although he is just a leader in the hall and has only 700 manpower, he is backed by Anle and the Sanhe Club, one of the large Big Three. The Tiger Club has just arrived in Mong Kok not long after and has less than three manpower. With more than a hundred people, Xia Lei really couldn''t scare him! Xia Lei said with a cold face, and once again persuaded: "Gao Man, I am now solemnly discussing things with you. You are also an old world. You should know better than me the reason that some people can move and others cannot move!" The Gao guy''s heart shuddered, thinking of Xia Lei''s background as well as the background of Global Brokerage. But he felt that it was impossible for a character like Xia Yu to do such a big deal for a little star, and he had also inquired that Mi Jin had no contact with Xia Yu at all. If it were Xia Yu''s woman, he would definitely not do it. He looked at his subordinates and found that their faces were different. The tall guy immediately wiped out other thoughts in his mind, and said coldly: "Thunder Tiger, I don''t need you to teach, please!" Xia Lei took a deep look at Gao, without saying anything, and turned away with someone! Soon, he went back to report to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu listened, his eyes were indifferent, and he said coldly, "This chicken is fat enough and you don''t know what is good or bad, then kill it!" () v3 Chapter 736: Improve talents Time revolves. Not long after Xia Lei had just left, the subordinates who had been told not to act rashly by the senior guy immediately expressed their opinions. "Boss, Thunder Tiger made it clear that he was going to trouble us, so let''s let him out like this?" The tall guy said solemnly: "Use more brains. He has the confidence to come. If we leave him here, we will definitely not be able to run." "However, this matter had nothing to do with him. He insisted on coming forward. There is no guarantee that nothing will happen later." "Let the brethren come more, and at the same time be optimistic about Mi Ji, leave her alone for now." "understand!" ... Not long after Xia Yu gave the order, Ma Qianjun ordered his subordinates to act. Several people climbed from the back of the house to under the balcony on the second floor to stand by. After making a gesture, the two snipers who had been lurking found the target. After pulling the trigger, the bullet burst out and broke directly through the glass. The two guards fell to the ground instantly. Several people who had been lurking also rushed out and broke in directly. As soon as Mi Jin was frightened by the two guards falling to the ground, he heard an explosion and several people in black clothes and masks jumped in from the window. Fortunately, when she was panicking, a man in black walked up to her, took a knife and cut the rope for her and said: "Miss Mi Yue, I''m here to save you, follow me!" Mi Ji was surprised and nodded again and again. The black-clothed man helped her tear off the tape from her mouth and led her to open the door from the inside and go down the balcony. The other two people ran to the door to guard, and after the door was opened, they came in and knocked down one by one. Gao Luo and others downstairs became alert when they heard the sound from upstairs, and Gao also sent two people up to check the situation. But since Ma Qianjun decided to do it, it was naturally arranged. For people like him who have experienced the swordsmanship, the enemy is a poorly disciplined society, and it is easy to clean up. However, in order to catch up with the high-levels of Xiangjiang Anle, Ma Qianjun let Gao Lao go out, let him successfully lead people to escape, and send someone to follow him secretly. That night, when the shops were closed and the streets were sparsely populated, the people from the net and the Tigers joined forces and worked on all the sites in Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok that were comfortable. The people from Luowang directly killed Anle''s high-level officials remotely, turning them into a mess, and Xia Lei''s people were responsible for the finishing work. At the same time, the net also secretly blocked the forces that wanted to take advantage of the fire. After it was over, the police came late and caught a group of peaceful criminals and brought them back to the police station. Xia Lei then ordered someone to release a meaningful message to the outside world: "You must follow the rules when entering any industry, and you must bear the corresponding consequences if you cross the line!" That night, the Xiangjiang underground shook, and the major forces inquired about the truth, and finally learned the truth. At the same time, they were shocked and ordered their subordinates not to attack the people of the Global Economic Company, or even the people of the Jiuding Consortium. However, Xia Lei gained comfort in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei and became the top position in the region. As for the Three Peace Conference, although some people clamored for revenge, when they talked about the need to contribute, they all changed the subject. There is no way, the Sanhe Association is only nominally unified and respected as a leader, in fact, each hall is the king and only cares about their own interests. If Anle hadn''t been swept overnight, they might still lend a helping hand, but after learning that Anle''s senior leaders were killed, no one had the confidence to guard against the assassination. The matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to do it again, It''s just that various forces on the road have increased their guard against the Tigers, especially those in the same area as the Tigers. Fortunately, Xia Lei knew that it was too late, and after eating the fat, he digested it in a low-key manner. After rescuing Mi Jin, Xia Yu didn''t see her, but sent someone to send her back to the company, and gave Chen Shufen a sentence to comfort her and respond. Early the next morning, the Global Brokerage Company was busy with a large number of reporters at the door. Everyone interviewed whether Mi Jin was kidnapped by the organization. And the global brokerage company has long been unified, no matter anyone denies this incident, Mi Jin has never been kidnapped and has always been well. Mi Jiu himself was ordered not to admit it to anyone, just as it never happened. But no one is foolish, and he knows that there can be no waves if there is no wind. Although no one admits it, everyone in the circle knows that this matter can''t go away, and they yearn for the global brokerage company. As for the artists in the global brokerage company, they are very in awe of the chairman, and their sense of belonging has greatly increased. They are proud of the boss who protects his shortcomings and protects his own safety. After the matter was resolved, Xia Yu returned to work again. Ma Tengdong, Huang Xizhao, and Wu Siyuan came to Xia Yu''s office together. "I asked you to come here today to discuss a matter that involves the foundation of each company in the future. It is very beneficial for all three companies to work together." Xia Yu glanced across the faces of the three of them, and said slowly. Wu Siyuan was overjoyed, and a wave of anticipation arose. Seeing the three of them staring at him intently, Xia Yu slightly nodded and continued: "Now the comic company has talent training courses, but the scale is relatively small, and TV stations also have them, but there are big shortcomings in the talent training behind the scenes." "Any industry wants to grow and develop without talents. Without enough talents to explore the market, the company''s development is also restricted." "So I plan to invest in the establishment of a comprehensive art school, offering majors in film, media, vocal music and comics to ensure that talents continue to grow." Ma Tengdong immediately nodded his head and agreed: "Chairman, your idea is wonderful. I have a deep understanding. Although the company has been training talents, it is mainly sending people to island countries to learn professional technology." "There is no school in Hong Kong that can train cartoon talents. We train ourselves. The probability of producing elites is too small. Although our company is now far ahead in the cartoon field, I have always worried that Hitotsubashi Group will find talents and come back." Huang Xizhao also agreed and nodded: "Yes, Chairman, your idea is wonderful. There is no shortage of performing talents for the time being. What is missing is the directors, screenwriters and other talents behind the scenes. Now the company has more channels and wants to increase the show time. To fill it up, a large number of talents are needed. Now there is a big gap. Many people are holding several jobs. The pressure is too great and it also affects the quality of the program." Wu Siyuan told Xia Yu before, so he just nodded his head and did not continue to speak. Xia Yu said: "Since you are clear, then I won''t say more. This comprehensive art academy is positioned as a private school at the beginning. The talents trained at that time will fill your companies, even if the latter are saturated with foreign talents. Being open can also absorb the best batch." "Yan Wenhan is now going to the United States. For the time being, the three of you will be responsible for the establishment of majors in various fields. When he comes back, you will inform him together. I will ask someone to go to the Hong Kong government to approve the school qualifications." "understand!" "Ok!" The three responded one after another. After hesitating for a while, Ma Tengdong asked with a smile: "Chairman, this college still needs a name for you. I don''t know what the name is?" Xia Yu thought for a while, and slowly said in the eyes of the three of them: "Just call Xiangjiang Culture and Media School!" PS: Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation, thank you! v3 Chapter 737: Hong Kongs Top 10 Peoples List After speaking, there was another round of flattery from the three. Xia Yu ignored it automatically and asked, "Anything else?" Seeing the chairman''s gaze, Ma Tengdong shook his head. Then Huang Xizhao said: "Chairman, there is one thing to report to you." "The TV station has cooperation with Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the magazines of the newspaper company will launch three annual lists, which are the 100 most influential people in the world, the top ten influential people in Hong Kong, and the top ten business leaders in Xiangjiang economy. " "In order to expand its influence, the two lists of Hong Kong¡¯s Top Ten Influential People and Hong Kong¡¯s Top Ten Economic Business Leaders will be jointly held with the TV station to host an awards ceremony. Now the selection has come to an end, and the two initial lists have you. Your name, what do you mean?" Xia Yu raised his brows and understood what Huang Xizhao meant. Xia Yu previously told Yan Wenhan that the corporate rankings can be listed normally, but his wealth should be hidden on the rich list. It is clear that Xia Yu did not want to overexpose. However, the two lists to be launched now require a solemn award ceremony. Based on what Xia Yu has done this year, both lists will occupy the first place. If he is not willing to be on the list, then these two lists and The award ceremony will be a joke. The absolute lack of credibility will cause many doubts. When it comes to the chairman, Huang Xizhao dare to call the shots. The list will be announced at the end of December and the award ceremony will be held. Now he has to face this problem. While Huang Xizhao was holding his breath, Xia Yu thought for a moment, and slowly said, "Let''s go, and when the result comes out, let me review it first." The names of business leaders and personalities are different from the names of the rich list. They are definitely extremely positive titles. Anyway, they can make certain adjustments in the introduction to minimize adverse effects. Seeing Xia Yu''s promise, Huang Xizhao sighed in relief and quickly nodded and said: "Okay, I will communicate with Manager Yan. The main body of the list is the newspaper company." "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded and looked at Wu Siyuan again. Originally, Wu Siyuan didn''t have any ideas, but now after listening to Huang Xizhao''s award ceremony, he was suddenly inspired and thought of the issue of influence. After hesitating for a while, he plucked up the courage and said: "Chairman, inspired by Manager Huang, I have an immature idea and I want to report it to you." Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled and said: "As long as it is beneficial to the company, speak boldly." Wu Siyuan smiled and nodded, and said: "It is about the awards of the film industry. Now our Hong Kong film market is rising. I feel that it is not a problem to surpass the Taiwanese film market, but the influence of our Hong Kong film is not big enough. It seems that there is a big thing because of the lack of an influential film award." "Taiwan Province has the Golden Horse Award. Every selection will attract huge publicity resources, which will not only increase the influence of Taiwanese films, but also greatly increase the popularity of the winners." "So my thought is whether we can also offer a movie award. If we don''t do it, the market will continue to expand in a few years, and there should be an award. It is better to raise it in advance and control it in our hands. Our status will also be greatly improved." Xia Yu smiled and summed up Wu Siyuan''s words: "With you, you want to take the throne of the martial arts leader." Wu Siyuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Chairman, I really don''t have this idea." Seeing that Wu Siyuan was a little frightened, Xia Yu laughed and said, "Okay, I''ll make a joke with you and please the atmosphere." "Furthermore, isn''t it just a martial arts leader, can we still fail Jiahe and Shao if we don''t do it?" Wu Siyuan was relieved. After a pause, Xia Yu continued: "Your idea is very good. Xiangjiang really needs an influential film award. If you don''t tell me the benefits, I know." "The name of the award is the Hong Kong Film Awards!" "To select this award, you have to set up a Hong Kong Film Awards Association, and you are responsible for organizing it." "As for the holding of the film festival, you will discuss it with Xizhao." Xia Yu looked at Huang Xizhao again and said, "Xizhao, you have to cooperate well then." Huang Xizhao smiled and nodded: "Okay!" With the approval of the chairman, the Hong Kong Film Awards, which has not yet appeared, will be held well. As the organizer of the film festival, Global Satellite TV will gain great ratings and influence. He is very happy to agree to this good thing. Xia Yu asked Wu Siyuan again: "By the way, the newspaper company has an "Entertainment Weekly", but it is not a pure film magazine. I remember Xiangjiang now has a "Film Biweekly", right?" Wu Siyuan immediately replied: "There is such a magazine, which is regarded as the most famous movie magazine in Xiangjiang. It was launched in January this year." Xia Yu directly ordered: "I will let the newspaper company buy it. If the acquisition fails, I will start a movie magazine directly. Then the Golden Image Award will be linked to this movie magazine, and the movie magazine will be put in the newspaper company to hold it. The credibility of the Academy Awards is stronger." "I understand!" Wu Siyuan said immediately. Although he regrets that the film magazine is not in his hands, he also knows that the chairman''s statement makes sense. Speaking of this, Xia Yu suddenly had some inspiration in his mind, and after thinking about it, he simply took this opportunity to do it all at once, and it was absolutely necessary to be the leader of the martial arts. "It just so happens that I heard that there is no directors'' association, screenwriters'' association, entertainer''s association, etc. in the Hong Kong film industry. You can also promote it. I will let Chen Shufen cooperate with you." The pie fell from the sky, and Wu Siyuan was immediately surprised. He nodded and said: "Good chairman, I will definitely work hard, and it will not affect the company''s operations." "Well, you just need to grasp the degree!" "Do you have anything else?" "No more." "Temporarily gone."... After Huang Xizhao and the three happily left, Xia Yu just wanted to go out and saw Huo Jianning come in. Xia Yu changed his mind. It should be he who asked Huo Jianning to investigate the food, beverage, and instant noodles field. The results were obtained~www.novelhall.com ~Sure enough, as soon as Huo Jianning entered the door, he said directly: "Chairman, what you asked me to investigate has already come out. Please have a look." After speaking, Huo Jianning submitted the investigation report to Xia Yu. "Well, it''s hard work, you sit down first, let me see!" "Thank you, Chairman!" Xia Yu ignored Huo Jianning and read the investigation report. The report shows that there is a giant in the beverage market, Swire Coca-Cola Co., Ltd., which was established in 1965. Swire Group acquired a majority stake in Coca-Cola''s Hong Kong franchise business, and in 1978, it acquired Coca-Cola clothing from Salt Lake City, USA. The bottle company is a monopoly giant in the Hong Kong beverage market. The instant noodle market is more mixed. Nissin instant noodles occupy the five-tier market, and doll noodles occupy the fifth-tier market. There are more than a dozen companies producing doll noodles, and the competition is fierce. Among the manufacturers of doll noodles, Yongnan Food Co., Ltd. has the largest market share. This company is the originator of Xiangjiang doll noodles. There are two shareholders. They are the former textile industry king and Zhou Wenxuan of South China Dyeing Factory. , And another person named Wang Qingxi. Yongnan Food Co., Ltd. not only produces doll noodles, but also frozen snacks, and other foods such as corn oil, spring roll wrappers, frozen fish fillets and meatballs, and packaged snacks such as baked nuts and peanuts. In addition to Yongnan Food Co., Ltd., the report also listed details of other companies. Huo Jianning pointed out in the report that the carbonated beverage market has been dominated by Swire Coca-Cola and it is difficult to enter. To enter, it is recommended to start from other fields. As for the food and instant noodle fields, Huo Jianning suggested to acquire Yongnan Food Co., Ltd., directly intervene in the competition, use capital and terminal sales advantages, should be able to quickly compete for the market. () v3 Chapter 738: 500 million USD in sales After reading the investigation report, Xia Yu thought for a long time and finally made up his mind. In the field of instant noodles and food, he still intends to directly acquire Yongnan Food Co., Ltd., building a new company on his own is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not only building factories, re-recruitment training, but also purchasing equipment and so on. And now that these first troubles can be solved with money, of course, they choose to spend money, and the time saved can make more money. In the beverage market, the carbonated beverage market is temporarily difficult to enter, but it can start from other aspects. Such as milk, fruit juice, tea beverages. In the field of milk and dairy products, Xia Yu happens to have a big brand at this time, occupying one-third of the Xiangjiang fresh milk market, and it is the milk company. Yes, the glass bottle of fresh milk is printed with the "Milk Company" trademark, which is really earthy. It is a pity that fresh milk is produced, and the shelf life is at most several days. But with the dairy company, there is a complete foundation for establishing a dairy brand. As for juice and tea beverages, Xiangjiang is also a mixed brand. Needless to say, there are herbal tea shops in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang. Coffee shops and milk tea shops are not rare. However, there is also one company that stands out, and that is Vitasoy. Vitasoy was originally a soy milk drink brand. A group of founders hoped to provide a cheap and protein-rich drink for ordinary families in Xiangjiang as an alternative to the more expensive milk. Since its development, Vitasoy has monopolized the soy milk market on the 9th floor of Xiangjiang. Vitasoy soy milk in glass bottles is sold in major restaurants and convenience stores. In addition, last year and this year, Vitasoy once again opened up new areas, dragging out Vita brand juices, lemon tea and chrysanthemum tea and other drinks, and market feedback was good. When Xia Yu and others went north early this year, Vitasoy''s chairman Luo Guixiang also invested more than 22 million Hong Kong dollars to develop Guangming Ranch in Pengcheng for raising dairy cows and preparing to enter the dairy market. Huo Jianning''s opinion is also to directly acquire the company, but the acquisition will be more difficult. The acquisition is difficult, and it is not necessary for Huo Jianning to remind Xia Yu. Although Vitasoy had five people when it was founded, after so many years of development, the equity has been gradually acquired by Luo Guixiang, and Luo Guixiang is now the chairman of the largest shareholder. As far as Xia Yu knows, the previous Vitasoy company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange every year, known as "Hong Kong Stock Xiao Maotai", with annual revenue of more than 7 billion and a market value of more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. At this time, the Vitasoy company, according to the research of the Economic Research Office, determined that although the assets were about 200 million yuan, the liabilities were all 140 million, and the net assets were about 60 million Hong Kong dollars. The net assets of 60 million Hong Kong dollars are mainly concentrated in factories, machinery, farms and workers. Generally speaking, the market value of listed companies in the industrial sector is about twice the net assets, so if Vitasoy is listed at this time, the market value will be about 120 million Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention that Vitasoy is not listed at this time, so if it really wants to acquire, a wholly-owned acquisition will only cost 100 million Hong Kong dollars. If you build a new company from scratch to this point, no two hundred million will not be realized. Being able to acquire is definitely worth the money, and it also eliminates a strong competitor. Don''t hesitate to buy! Isn''t it money? Yes! "Okay, I see, I will let Wang Qi be responsible for the specific acquisition." Xia Yu put down the investigation report and said to Huo Jianning. Under the Jiuding Consortium, Wang Qi is undoubtedly the best at mergers and acquisitions. "understand!" After dealing with this matter, Xia Yu asked with concern: "By the way, how is the business situation of Tiangong Electronics? Have the 200 million US dollars orders from the previous trade fair been delivered?" When talking about the company he manages, Huo Jianning couldn''t help but smile. "Chairman, all have been delivered, but now the company is still full of orders. According to market feedback, our company¡¯s five games are too popular. Other game companies have no resistance at all. Even "Space Invaders" has sold out. Plummet." "Up to now, the company has received a total of 520 million US dollars of orders, five arcade machines totaling 21.5 million units, and 170,000 units have now been delivered." Speaking of this, in order to reflect the pros and cons of the results, Huo Jianning paused and added: "Last year, Taidong Island¡¯s annual sales were US$1.08 billion, and now our company¡¯s two-month sales are about to Half of it." Xia Yu smiled and said with satisfaction: "Not bad!" "These games can continue to develop new levels, which is enough for the company to pay for a few years, but in the past few years, the company must work **** research and development." Huo Jianning nodded and said: "I understand that it has cooperated with universities now, but the current situation of Xiangjiang is that there is a serious shortage of talents in electronic technology. Therefore, in terms of research and development, it mainly relies on Sega, and the parent company is rushing to train. Talent." It''s the talent issue again! Xia Yu couldn''t help frowning, feeling helpless for Xiangjiang''s education and scientific research level. His commercial strength has reached the top of Hong Kong, and there is no shortage of funds, but he is restricted by talents, which has seriously delayed the development of his career. His Jiuding Consortium will definitely be involved in all walks of life, and Xiangjiang is his foundation, at least the talents of the local rise of Xiangjiang cannot be in the minority, but according to current conditions, it is not realistic at all. He either chooses most of the talents to use foreigners, or he can only train himself. If most of the Jiuding Consortium were foreigners, it would definitely be an extremely unstable factor. Although the mainland has talented people in large numbers, people''s attitudes have not changed, and it is difficult for them to come to Hong Kong. And because there is too little contact with the world and all aspects are seriously lagging behind, the talents trained may not be able to connect with all walks of life in the world. After much deliberation, you still have to build your own university. It is simply unrealistic to expect Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Chinese University, and it will take six or seven years for the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to appear. He has no time to wait. Although he decided to build a comprehensive university, Xia Yu does not plan to tell Huo Jianning now that this comprehensive university is not like the Chunqiu School of Chinese Medicine and the Xiangjiang Culture and Media School. After all, Xia Yu itself has no resources to use. Someone must be discussed. "Follow your ideas and implement it!" "understand!" After Huo Jianning was sent away. Xia Yu ordered someone to inform his think tank to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss this issue in detail. Early the next morning. All of the Institute of Politics, Business, and Society of Jiuding Think Tank gathered in the large conference room of Jiuding Building. Looking around, many are elderly people, and some are gray-haired. These people are all top scientific research talents of Hong Kong. Many of them are professors from Hong Kong Chinese University and Hong Kong University, and even professors from some universities in Southeast Asia. For example, Professor Lin Shanyuan and Xu Zhixue who were originally in Jiuding Economic Research Office are also businessmen of Jiuding Think Tank Core member of the Institute. In addition, there are some well-known social observers and commentators, some of whom are scholars originally from the mainland, but did not enter the two universities to teach. But the ability is beyond doubt. The treatment of Jiuding Think Tank is extremely high, so the barriers to entry are also high and scary. After layers of screening, those who can come in are all real people, and there is absolutely no case of overfilling. For these people, Xia Yu also respects them very much. After coming in, he threw a proposal for the establishment of a comprehensive private university, and the people present immediately discussed it fiercely. Combining the actual situation and future needs of the Jiuding Consortium, assembling the current situation of society, we will conduct in-depth discussions on the necessity, possibility, implementation, and difficulties of establishing private universities. Xia Yu remained silent and listened quietly. It is said that three heads have beaten Zhuge Liang, not to mention such a large group of top smart people. In a day, the result came out. For the future of the Jiuding Consortium and for the benefit of Xiangjiang, it is extremely necessary to establish a new university. There are hundreds of good influences alone. In addition, even the operation plan for establishing a university has come up with a framework. In this situation, what else Xia Yu has to say, he immediately decided to build a private university called Jiuding University. After the confirmation, many people present were excited and expressed their willingness to contribute. These people are university professors. They are very clear about the structure of the university and have a huge network of resources. At least the teachers at Jiuding University will definitely not be lacking. In Xia Yu''s mind, Jiuding University''s goal is to develop into private universities like Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University. (These universities are all private!) After letting think tanks take charge of Xia Yu went to see MacLehose that night and proposed to him to build the school. MacLehose did not agree on the spot, but he was still positive about Xia Yu''s willingness to independently invest to improve the educational environment in Xiangjiang. But Xia Yu was not worried that MacLehose would not agree. Improving the education environment in Hong Kong has always been MacLehose''s policy, but limited by financial shortcomings, many of his policies cannot be implemented. A few days later, MacLehose held a meeting in the Hong Kong government to discuss this matter. No one was willing to oppose such public welfare undertakings. The school qualifications were given to Xia Yu, and the Hong Kong government provided the school site free of charge. After the news came out, everyone in Xiangjiang cheered. There are indeed too few universities in Hong Kong. After graduating from high school, many people want to study but cannot go to university. They can only be apprentices or work directly. Now one more university is a good news for everyone. Xia Yu''s reputation instantly improved several grades. Ten days later, the Jiuding Think Tank came up with a complete school plan, and Xia Yu took the plan to negotiate with the Hong Kong government. In the end, it was negotiated and decided that the Hong Kong government would provide 60 hectares of Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, or 600,000 square meters, to support Xia Yu in establishing a university. This piece of land is the location of the later Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology. In order to limit Xia Yu¡¯s profit, the Hong Kong government stipulated that the 60 hectares of land should be dedicated to education and could only be used for school construction. Commercial development is prohibited. If Xia Yu violates regulations, the Hong Kong government has the right to unconditionally recover the land. Xia Yu fully agreed to this request. This area is too small to build the school. Where else would he use it to develop real estate? In the future, he will definitely have to find ways to dig out land from the Hong Kong government to expand the university. PS: Rolling all over the floor asking for recommended monthly tickets! Please everyone! v3 Chapter 739: Financial feast is coming All the basic conditions for the establishment of Jiuding University have been solved, and Xia Yu directly ordered Liu Tianci to establish a special account for Jiuding University and credited the first 100 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. The founding principal Wang Gengwu is a core member of the Social Research Institute of Jiuding Think Tank. Wang Gengwu previously served as Dean of the Department of Far Eastern History and Dean of the Institute of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University in Australia. He returned to Hong Kong last year and served as the dean of the School of Political Science at Hong Kong University. What Xia Yu didn''t know was that he really found the right person. Wang Gengwu later served as the president of Xiangjiang University for ten years, and he was absolutely capable. When a group of old scholars from Jiuding Think Tank were eagerly running for the establishment of the school, Wang Qi sent good news. Yongnan Foods Co., Ltd. was wholly-owned and purchased at a cost of only 16 million Hong Kong dollars. The total assets of Yongnan Food Company are around 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but the bank liabilities have reached 20 million Hong Kong dollars and the net assets are nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The purchase price of 16 million Hong Kong dollars is already very high. Most of the products produced by Yongnan Foods Co., Ltd. have to be delivered to retail stores, and the Jiuding Consortium¡¯s ParknShop, Wellcome Supermarket, 7-11 convenience store, etc., monopolize 70 to 80% of the retail market in Xiangjiang. Therefore, in the face of the acquisition personnel from Jiuding Securities, Wang Qingxi and others couldn''t be tough, and considering that the Jiuding Consortium would end up grabbing business, they would definitely not be able to do it, so they simply sold the company to take the money and leave for another business. Just as the textile industry is doing well now, Zhou Wenxuan, chairman of the South China Dyeing Factory, one of the two largest shareholders, also intends to invest in expanding the dyeing factory. After the acquisition of Yongnan Foods Co., Ltd., Korn Ferry International also hired an elite in the food field, named Luo Shengli, who had previously served as the manager of the food trading department of Dachang Commercial Bank. Yongnan Food Co., Ltd. changed its name to Master Kong Food Co., Ltd., with Luo Shengli as the general manager. The original food brand under Yongnan Foods Co., Ltd. continues to be used, but the food developed later will be unified under the brand "Master Kong". The first move of the newly established Master Kong Food Co., Ltd. was to invest 20 million Hong Kong dollars to establish a food factory in Pengcheng, which mainly produces food such as Master Kong instant noodles, Master Kong potato chips, shrimp noodles, and spring rolls. The products can be sold domestically or exported, and everything depends on the business developed. On December 15, Vitasoy Co., Ltd. was also conquered. Luo Guixiang was originally unwilling to sell the equity, but the equity of other shareholders was acquired by Jiuding Securities. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. tried to frighten. Faced with the power of the Jiuding Consortium, Luo Guixiang finally compromised. He chose to accept it and transferred all the shares to Jiuding Securities Company, holding 51 million Hong Kong dollars to enter real estate. industry. The entire Vitasoy Co., Ltd. was acquired at a cost of 98 million Hong Kong dollars. Considering that the Vitasoy brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, we continue to develop this brand. The general manager of the company is an elite recruited from Southeast Asia. The manager in charge of marketing in the Southeast Asia branch of Coca-Cola Company is a Chinese named Hu Sanyuan. In addition, Xia Yu also recruited Luo Qiaosong, the general manager of the milk company, and ordered him to form a subsidiary, Bright Dairy, to engage in the production and processing of dairy products. The main products include fresh milk, fresh yogurt, lactic acid bacteria drinks, room temperature milk, and room temperature yogurt. , Milk powder, cheese, butter and many other categories. At the same time, Xia Yu also urged Luo Qiaosong to go to New Zealand and Australia to establish high-quality pastures. In a blink of an eye, on December 20, under the pressure of tight oil supply and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, the international gold price rose to a high of $602 per ounce. The dollar/yen exchange rate dropped all the way to 235 points. According to the historical trajectory, as soon as January 1980 enters, the international gold price will climb to the highest peak, and the USD/JPY exchange rate will also fall to the lowest. There will be less than a month before the final outbreak, and the fluctuations will become greater and greater. Xia Yu convened a secret meeting with Wang Qi, Liu Tianci, Liu Xiao, Jason Gregg and others. After going back, the companies entered a state of emergency, and at the same time further improved the harvesting escape plan and the finalizing plan after the harvest. When this day was about to get off work in the afternoon, Xia Yu opened the drawer, took out two invitations, and drove to the Bao family mansion. "A Yu, you are early enough today!" Bao Yu, who was watering the flowers in the yard, just heard the sound of the car at the door, put down the kettle and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he just saw Xia Yu coming, Lang said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Isn''t it because we haven''t seen you for a while, come over and chat with you earlier." Bao Yugang wiped the water in his hands and shook hands with Xia Yu and said, "Go, sit inside and say." "Lao Huo has already called me just now. As long as there is no traffic jam, he can be there in five minutes at most!" "Ok!" The two had just sat down in the living room, and the butler who had just made tea immediately poured a cup of tea for each of them. "Please enjoy!" "Thank you!" Blowing the heat gently, Xia Yu took a sip, and said with a long breath: "Old Bao, this time I am here mainly to chat with you and bring you an invitation by the way." With that, Xia Yu took out an exquisitely crafted scarlet invitation from his bag. Bao Yugang asked, "What are you going to do?" Xia Yu laughed immediately, and handed him the invitation, saying, "You will know it after reading it." Bao Yugang took it and opened it, and suddenly he suddenly said, "It turns out that this is the case. Can I come on stage to receive the award?" During this period of time, Global TV and Jiuding newspapers reported on the selection and award ceremony of the top ten business leaders of the Hong Kong economy and the top ten influential figures of the Hong Kong economy, which has already aroused the appetite of elites from all walks of life. Some bigwigs hope that they can be on the list, and some employees of companies also pray that their company''s boss can be selected. Bao Yugang''s son-in-law Wu Guangzheng also joked with him that he must be there. Xia Yu smiled and said, "If you can''t be selected, who else will watch my list?" "Haha!" Bao Yugang suddenly shook his head and laughed. After laughing, Xia Yu asked: "Old Bao, can I spare time on the night of the 25th?" Bao Yugang replied with full mouth: "There must be time, I will guarantee it at that time!" It''s a simple matter for Xia Yu, not to mention the positive impact will be great. "By the way, A Yu, who are on your two lists?" God Xia Yu smiled mysteriously and said: "Guess it yourself, it''s boring to say it. Anyway, you and Lao Huo are both on the list." "Oh? Don''t let me know, then I''m looking forward to it!" While talking and laughing, Huo Yingdong was also there, Xia Yu also sent him an invitation, Huo Yingdong immediately agreed to be there. After eating, the three of them drank tea. Bao Yugang suddenly put down the cup and said with emotion: "A Yu, you have been doing great things during this time. You donated a Qianzhou University in mainland China, and you are planning to build two more in Xiangjiang. The universities, one of which is also a comprehensive university, is impressive." Xia Yu smiled and said: "There is no way, I have made some money, but I should give back to the society, not to mention the training of more talents, which is also good for my company." Huo Yingdong said: "Although it is the truth, I have never seen anyone do this before, at least I and Lao Bao have never thought about it." "By the way, Ayu, does your Jiuding University accept donations?" Xia Yu instantly understood Huo Yingdong''s thoughts. He nodded and said: "Of course I accept it. Good universities are all made with money. My first investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be spent soon." Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "In this case, I will donate 50 million Hong Kong dollars and give me the title of honorary director. Then I can show it off." Bao Yugang also said: "Lao Huo is right. I also donated 50 million Hong Kong dollars and gave me the title of honorary director." Xia Yu immediately said with a straight face: "You don''t look down on me, I will definitely accept the money, but you all have a real-name director and an honorary director. I don''t know what to say about me." As for accepting the increase in donations, Xia Yu is also very calm, because running a university is a public welfare undertaking. Since Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have this heart, of course he will not refuse. What''s more, soon after the gold futures are delivered, both Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong will share huge profits. Now they donate 50 million yuan. Bao Yugang suddenly smiled: "Well, let me get your light too, haha!" "Yes." ... In the morning of the next day, both Jiuding Newspaper and Global Satellite TV reported the news. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong each donated 50 million Hong Kong dollars to Jiuding University to support the construction of Jiuding University. As soon as the news came out, the whole Hong Kong shook and applauded Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong for their generous efforts, and their popularity skyrocketed. Seeing this, many big bosses who wanted to deepen contact with Xia Yu donated money to Jiuding University. Including fresh milk, fresh yogurt, lactic acid bacteria drinks, room temperature milk, room temperature yogurt, milk powder, cheese, butter and other categories. Wang Gengwu and other preparatory staff for the establishment of Jiuding University were so happy to see this situation, they were full of confidence in the future of Jiuding University. In the next few days, Xia Yu personally went to send invitations. Faced with Xia Yu''s personal invitation, everyone readily agreed to be there late. In the anticipation of all the people, it is December 25, the Christmas day in the West. At 7:30 that evening, the award ceremony officially began! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 740: 2 list announced "General Manager, Hong Kong¡¯s local ratings have reached 28.7%, and the audience share has reached 72.4%!" "The ratings of Global Satellite TV reached 47.8%." The staff of Universal Television''s monitoring background excitedly said to visiting Huang Xizhao. Huang Xizhao suddenly smiled, not in vain for Universal Television and Jiuding Newspaper Company''s hype, and achieved such high results before it officially started. It seems that the people in Xiangjiang are all looking forward to tonight''s awards show. In addition, there are also many people in Southeast Asia and other places, which can be seen from the 47.8% ratings of Global Satellite TV. Now all of Asia, the number of users who have paid annual fees has reached 1.26 million. Because it is a unique business, the audience rating of 47.8% is the same audience share, which means that more than 600,000 users are watching this awards ceremony through Global Satellite TV. Considering that there are several people in a household, the coverage reaches one Two million. This result has been very successful, and the initial investment is absolutely worth it! Tiered advertising fees must be softened! Global TV station, live broadcast live. "Mr. Xia (I have been fed back to see that Xia Sheng is not used to it, so I just changed it back), your hand is big enough! Admire it!" At the same table as Xia Yu, Li Zhaoji, who was sitting on Xia Yu''s left, glanced around, gave Xia Yu a thumbs up and whispered. I saw nearly 20 tables at the bottom of the stage, all of which were full of defiant figures from Hong Kong, such as Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, HSBC Chairman Shen Bi, Swire Financial Group heads Norman Shiyahuai, Li Jiacheng, and so on. Li Zhaoji knows very well that even the Jockey Club may not have so many big names at the same time. Now that Xia Yu can invite so many people over, he has enough face! "Thanks to everyone showing your face, otherwise it would be really hard to step down!" Xia Yu smiled and said modestly. Li Zhaoji smiled and said nothing. At this moment, Zheng Yuling, the head of the Global TV station in an elegant dress, held the microphone and came from the backstage curtain. "Hello everyone, and welcome to the first annual Xiangjiang Economic and Commercial Leader and Man of the Year Awards Ceremony co-sponsored by Universal Television and Jiuding Newspaper. I am the host Zheng Yuling!" "In 1979, Xiangjiang''s economy and society developed rapidly...These contributions are inseparable from the contributions made by all walks of life..." Zheng Yuling first reviewed the development of the year. A number of statistics made the people present a little bit emotional, and the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, even smiled. After the warm-up, she said jokingly again: "The first round of awards ceremony will begin next. This will be awarded to one of the top ten people in Hong Kong. His key word for the award is''people''s livelihood''." Hearing this, everyone present knew who it was, and subconsciously looked at MacLehose who was sitting at the center table. MacLehose smiled at the right time and nodded to the others. "We have to invite the first group of prize-winners. This is a special group of guests. They are a child from the fifth grade Liu Jiali from Yuen Long Government Primary School and a child from Yang Ze from the Hong Kong Children''s Welfare Institute." As Zheng Yuling''s voice fell, two little boys and little girls in formal dresses walked out from behind the scenes holding hands. The people present were very surprised, they did not expect that the first round of awards guests turned out to be such a small two children. But after thinking about it carefully, they all admire the planning of Universal Television Station and lament that they are thoughtful. After all, if the winner is the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, no one is eligible to give him the award. However, if he is replaced by the beneficiary of the MacLehose policy, he is absolutely suitable as a guest of award, let alone two children. It''s also a good talk. Sure enough, after the two children came up, Zheng Yuling said again: "Two children, before the awards, can you introduce yourself?" "Yes, sister!" The little girl Liu Jiali said sweetly. Then he took Zheng Yuling''s microphone and said in a clear and sweet voice: "Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Liu Jiali, I am from Yuen Long. I like reading very much, but because my grandma is too old and can''t afford the tuition, I dropped out of school because of Hong Kong With the nine-year compulsory education policy implemented by the government, I have returned to a bright and warm classroom!" "Fuck!" Suddenly, there was a burst of warm applause, and a bright smile appeared on MacLehose''s face. Liu Jiali handed the microphone to the little boy Yang Ze. He only heard him say, "Hello, my name is Yang Ze. I come from the Xiangjiang Children¡¯s Welfare Institute. A year ago, my parents went fishing in the sea. An orphan, Grandma Liu from the orphanage adopted me. Grandma Liu told me that I was able to have food, clothes, and books because of the Hong Kong government''s policies. I am very grateful to the Hong Kong government!" "Okay, I believe that when we get here, the first winner is ready to be announced. What outstanding contributions did he make to Xiangjiang? Let''s see the big screen!" As soon as Zheng Yuling¡¯s voice fell, the huge curtain behind suddenly lit up, introducing MacLehose¡¯s identity information, from his youth to the present, and how he worked hard to contribute to Xiangjiang, and what achievements he has made. . The film played for two full minutes before it ended. Zheng Yuling turned her head and smiled and said loudly: "Let''s give a warm applause to Sir MacLehose to come on stage to accept the award!" "Papa..." In a burst of warm applause, MacLehose stood up, smiled, and strode to the center of the stage. The two children gave MacLehose a medal and the other gave him a certificate. MacLehose warmly embraced both A kid, the camera freezes this moment. This photo will undoubtedly be the headline of tomorrow''s newspaper. Then, after the two children stepped down, MacLehose gave his acceptance speech. After he humbled himself, he also looked forward to the future of Hong Kong, and called on all Hong Kong citizens to make their own contributions to the construction of Hong Kong. At the same time, he hoped that the major entrepreneurs would actively give back to the society. . MacLehose ranks first among the top ten people in Hong Kong, and the second one is Xia Yu, who has been calling for rain this year. According to the same process, one big boss came to the stage to accept the award and gave his acceptance speech. Global TV also gave a lot of face. Every winner has a two-minute video introduction, which is quite positive. very satisfied. The entire award ceremony lasted an entire hour. In the end, two complete lists came out. Top Ten Hong Kong People: The first: MacLehose, Governor of Hong Kong, vigorously develop subway transportation, implement nine-year compulsory education, housing improvement, and strong anti-corruption, making great contributions to maintaining the harmony and rapid development of Hong Kong.

Fourth place: Huo Yingdong, working hard to maintain the social stability of Xiangjiang... Fifth place: Bao Yugang, abandoned the ship and landed... Sixth place: Wang Kuancheng, President of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce, made outstanding contributions to the economic and social prosperity of Hong Kong... Seventh place: Li Fuzhao, the largest exchange in Hong Kong, the founder of the Far East Exchange and the current chairman of the board of directors... Eighth place: Li Zhaoji... Ninth place: Guo Desheng... Tenth place: Li Jiacheng... It can be said that almost all of the top ten Hong Kong people on the list are Chinese, and only MacLehose and Shen Bi are foreigners. The other top ten business leaders of the Hong Kong Economy are not the case. The Chinese accounted for only half. The list of winners is as follows: First: Shen Bi (finance), chairman of HSBC Bank. Second place: Xia Yu (finance + real estate + industry), chairman of Jiuding Financial Group. Third place: Norman Shi Yahuai (Integrated Industries), Chairman of Swire Group. Fourth place: Robin Barker (finance), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

Ninth: Huo Yingdong (Real Estate + Industry ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Chairman of Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association, Chairman of Lixin Real Estate Co., Ltd., Chairman of Yourong Company. Tenth place: Roland Kadoorie (electricity + hotel): Chairman of China Light and Power Co., Ltd., Chairman of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Company. In this list, the financial industry alone accounts for half of the list, and the rest are industrial or real estate. It explains the current status of Xiangjiang, which is supported by finance, real estate, industry (manufacturing) and commerce at this time. In the two lists, Xia Yu, Bao Yugang, Shen Bi, and Huo Yingdong are on the two lists. In addition, Li Fuzhao and Li Fuhe are brothers, and they both went out of the Li family of the East Asia Bank of Hong Kong. This Li family is the No. 1 Li in Hong Kong, and Li Zhaoji and Li Jiacheng can only be regarded as the new Li family. If Jardine and Hutchison Whampoa does not fail, both John Keswick and Qi Dezun will be on the list, but who will let them die and return to the UK in embarrassment! That night, the ratings of the awards ceremony were so scary that Huang Xizhao was happy from ear to ear. Early the next morning, major newspapers rushed to report this time, interpreting the awards ceremony last night and the ranking of the list from different perspectives. There is definitely controversy. After all, there are many people in Xiangjiang, but there are only ten positions in each list, and there are four people on the list. Many people who did not make the list did not say anything, but their close people or subordinates But indignant. But anyway, controversy is a good thing. At least many people who want to clarify things have bought "Economic Weekly" and "Fengyun Weekly", causing the sales of the two magazines to explode, and the weekly circulation exceeded one hundred and sixty. Wanben. The influence and credibility are greatly improved! PS: The first three thousand words for votes. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 741: 4.7 billion! Explosive sales! On the morning of January 1, 1980, Hong Kong Central. A ten shops were opened, and the Auto City covering an area of ??nearly 1,000 square meters was officially opened. A red carpet was spread from the side of the road into the shop. Two lion dances at the entrance of the store were performing wonderfully, beating the gongs and drums, and it was not lively, attracting a large group of people to stop and watch. The crowd of onlookers could see through the glass doors that the shop was filled with brand-new cars. The cool appearance made some people''s eyes straight. "Rolls Royce 4S Motor City!" A young man looked at the big sign on the Auto City and read out every word. "It really deserves to sell luxury cars, the shop is so big, when will we be able to afford a Rolls Royce car, I heard that the Queen of England has used this kind of car." The young man''s companion looked at the cool car in the shop full of longing, and said enviously. "Yes¡­¡­" "Hey, Guangzai, look quickly, are they the **** of stock and the ship king?" As soon as the young man nodded in agreement, Yu Guang suddenly saw someone entering the arena carrying a basket of flowers. He subconsciously looked at it, and was shocked, shaking his companion and said excitedly. His companion immediately looked over and exclaimed: "It''s really yeah, it seems that this car city is driven by a big man, is it the stock god?" "It''s very possible, you see that the ship king has brought the flower basket, but the stock **** has not mentioned it!" The presence of Bao Yugang and Xia Yu made the atmosphere as warm as a volcanic eruption. Fortunately, there are sufficient security forces to maintain order. The arrival of the two seemed to be a sign of the beginning. Next, one big boss who rarely appeared in front of ordinary people arrived with a basket of flowers. Huo Yingdong, Hu Yingxiang, Wang Dehui, Lin Baixin, Li Zhaoji, etc. are all first-class tycoons. Every tycoon arrived, causing a commotion among the onlookers. More and more people gathered around, and even passersby stopped and watched, making the road jam. Fortunately, the staff had notified the traffic police in advance, and many traffic police kept clearing the road during this period. After checking the area of ??the Auto City, Zheng Yutong joked with Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, your business is getting bigger and bigger. Without making a sound, you opened such a big car dealership. The Renfu company, Dachang Commercial Bank has to jump in a hurry." Dachang Commercial Bank was established in 1949. It is an old-fashioned Chinese-funded commercial bank in Hong Kong. It was established by He Tian, ??He Shanheng, Liang Qianju and other bigwigs. Its business scope is very diverse, including automobiles and automobile-related businesses. It is the largest automobile dealer in Xiangjiang. . Even if Xia Yu acquired Renfu from the Jardine Consortium, it is not as good as Dachang Commercial. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng holds it up. I want to catch up with Dachang Commercial, but there is still a long way to go." Feng Jingxi on the side suddenly interrupted and said: "Mr. Xia, I heard that Rolls-Royce Motor Company was acquired. Is that mysterious buyer you?" Feng Jingxi''s words immediately attracted the attention of all the big men around him, staring at Xia Yu intently. This is big news, and they didn''t know about it before. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, it happened in the UK. Other newspapers can''t reach that long. As long as Jiuding newspapers do not report, other newspapers rarely report. That is to say, Feng Jingxi is engaged in finance and pays close attention to news in London. Xia Yu said with a smile: "It''s not me either, I just followed and stood up a bit, barely considered a minority shareholder." "Mr. Xia, even if it''s just a small shareholder, it''s terrible. Rolls-Royce Motor Company is the crown of the British automotive industry. People like us are not qualified to interfere." "Yes, it is extremely, Mr. Xia''s business is big enough to strengthen my Chinese morale!" "..." A group of people suddenly praised it. Anyway, you don''t need money to talk. If you say something nice, you can still have a good impression of Xia Yu, why not! "Chairman, time is coming, it''s time to cut the ribbon!" At this moment, a staff member came to Xia Yu''s side and reminded him quietly. Xia Yu nodded slightly to show that he knew. After chatting with everyone, Xia Yu invited a group of bigwigs to help the platform. After going up and talking for a few minutes, a red cloth was held by a group of big men amid the loud sound of firecrackers. Xia Yu took a pair of scissors and cut the red cloth with a "click". "Papa..." There was a burst of warm applause from the audience. After the ribbon cutting, Xia Yu introduced the concept of the car 4S, and then sent an invitation to everyone: "Please come in and take a look. The new cars inside are much better than those on the market, and they are all high-end when they are driven out!" The group of people agreed, and they were already curious about the new car in the house: "Since it''s here, I must buy a few of them. Go inside and have a look!" There are dozens of cars in the Auto City, covering an area of ??nearly 1,000 square meters, divided into Rolls Royce and Bentley areas. Among them, the new generation of Rolls-Royce Phantom has seven colors: black, dark blue, sky blue, red, brown and white. Bentley Continental has six colors: silver gray, black, sky blue, dark gold, white, and reddish brown. In addition, the old models before Rolls-Royce and Bentley were also displayed in the field. Next to each car, there is a beautiful and attractive car model. "Ayu, let alone, your car looks very magnificent, it feels much more advanced than Mercedes-Benz and BMW!" After seeing a few cars, Bao Yugang said with emotion. Xia Yu was not humble this time, and said with a smile: "It''s not that I brag, as far as the model is concerned, even if it is placed in the world, it is first-class." Huo Yingdong came over and said: "It is true that in March of this year, if these models are displayed at the Geneva Motor Show, they will definitely take the lead." After walking around, Wang Dehui walked to Xia Yu and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Xia, the price of the Rolls-Royce Phantom naked car at HK$1.42 million is normal, but the price of this Bentley Continental naked car is really Five hundred and thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars?" Wang Dehui is also a person who knows cars, and it is precisely because he knows cars that he is puzzled. In the past, cars like Bentley cost at least 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and expensive ones cost millions. The price of this newly launched Bentley Continental is only 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is unbelievable. In his opinion, this car is absolutely qualified to sell for a high price of one million Hong Kong dollars, and the price of five hundred and thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars is too cheap! Wang Dehui''s words also attracted the attention of many people. Seeing everyone''s inquiries, Xia Yu smiled and said: "It is indeed at this price. Bentley has repositioned it. Everyone can buy a luxury car at a mid-to-high-end price. The configuration will not be bad. It is absolutely superb. Value for money." "This price is really affordable!" "Then I will buy two black ones, Mr. Xia, where to place the order?" "Sir, if you need to place an order, please come here!" "Ok!" This person seemed to have started. Many people placed orders immediately, and the sales staff who had been on standby immediately met. During the introduction, the sales staff also promoted the concept of the 4S shop, which surprised everyone. After thinking about it, they all gave thumbs up. The people who came were all big men who didn''t need money. Naturally, they knew that the car was a facade. What''s more, this shop was opened by Xia Yu. Since he came to join in, there is no reason to return empty-handed. So everyone placed an order. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were even more atmospheric and directly bought five Rolls-Royce Phantoms and five Bentley Continentals each. Other rich people did not say that they bought a car, and at least bought two cars. You have two and I have three. It doesn''t seem like there are many, but it''s terrifying as soon as it counts. Statistics show that this group of rich men alone sold 125 cars on the spot, including 72 Rolls-Royce Phantoms and 53 Bentley Continentals. Ask to buy top matching. A bare car like the Rolls-Royce Phantom is 160,000 pounds, which is equivalent to HK$1.42 million, but the top-of-the-line price is as high as 2 million Hong Kong dollars. In total, this group of bigwigs alone made Xia Yu a 144 million Hong Kong dollar business. Xia Yu fully grasped the essence of propaganda. Every big boss bought what car, firecrackers would be set off at the door, and the staff read it out and wrote it down on the red paper outside the door. The crowd of onlookers exclaimed and attracted. A large number of reporters. Other wealthy people who received the news also rushed to join in the fun. When they saw the car, they did not hesitate to spend money to increase sales. When the door closed that evening, the store manager counted the sales. A total of 158 cars were sold that day, with sales reaching 177 million Hong Kong dollars. Although there is a lot of moisture in this sales, after all, these big men buy cars because of Xia Yu''s face, but after all, they bought them. In addition, Jiuding Insurance also sold 158 copies of a full set of auto insurance, with sales reaching 7.08 million Hong Kong dollars. In the evening, Global Satellite TV focused on the grand opening and sales of Rolls-Royce Motor City. Early the next morning, news about Rolls-Royce Motor City slaughtered the pages of major news. On this day, most citizens were gossiping about relevant news. In a word, Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Continental are on fire! And it''s a big fire! Rolls-Royce Motor City is full of passengers. On the Xiangjiang side, the Xia Yu platform opened. In London, it opened on January 1, 1980. And Rolls-Royce 4S stores across Europe opened together, and Duke Carter Howard personally promoted the platform. Duke Carter Howard''s face is no worse than Xia Yu''s. Afterwards, Elena called Xia Yu and told Xia Yu that throughout the day, all 4S auto stores in Europe had sold a total of 258 cars, with sales reaching 33 million pounds, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars. More than 290 million Hong Kong dollars. Counting the sales on the Hong Kong side, on January 1 alone, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars sold 416 cars, and sales reached 53 million pounds, equivalent to 470 million Hong Kong dollars. Ten million or so. This achievement made the European automotive industry call Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s rise again. In addition, the Rolls-Royce 4S store model is also spreading wildly in the automobile industry, and major automobile companies are conducting in-depth research. As long as we continue to maintain quality, the rise of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a foregone conclusion! Another auto giant is about to rise!

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 742: Involved in the 3 Wells Consortium Chapter 742 When the public''s attention was attracted by the Rolls-Royce 4S Auto City, the global financial market was already undercurrents. On January 2, international gold prices rose to a high of $634 per ounce, and inflation in the United States further increased. The US fiscal system quickly held a high-level meeting. The meeting quickly passed a decision that shocked the world. That afternoon, US Treasury Secretary Miller appeared on the TV screen with a serious look and announced that the US Treasury Department would no longer sell gold. This light and fluttering sentence shocked the entire Wall Street. The impact immediately spread to the world in a fission manner. International gold prices have started a hurricane model. In less than 30 minutes, the international price of gold has skyrocketed from a price of 634 dollars an ounce to an ultra-high price of 715 dollars an ounce. The rise in the price of gold has created a linkage effect, which drives the rise of international crude oil prices. Feedback on the exchange rates of various countries has made the exchange rate fluctuations of various countries more and more. ... "A Yu, has this price reached its peak?" In Xia Yu''s house, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong came together and asked Xia Yu nervously about the international gold price. Before Bao Yugang put out 220 million U.S. dollars, Huo Yingdong put out 180 million U.S. dollars, a total of 400 million U.S. dollars to Xia Yu speculation in London gold futures. That''s all, after all, Xia Yu personally followed, they were not worried. It was only later that Xia Yu revealed to the two that if they had spare money, they could invest in London Gold. Of course, the two of them were willing to believe Xia Yu, so they spent a lot of money to speculate in gold futures on their own. After all, the two of them are not professionally engaged in finance. Suddenly they saw that the US Treasury Secretary Miller had come out to interfere, and the gold price started the rocket mode, which was completely beyond the scope of their analysis capabilities. Both of their subordinates said they did not know what to grasp. After saving, they can''t help but worry. If one is not good, in case the price of gold plummets again and the floating profit is gone, they are afraid that even the principal will be eaten up, which will make their career suffer severely. In this case, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong could still sit still, so they simply came to Xia Yu and asked him about the situation. Xia Yu took a sip of tea, and Feng Qingyun said calmly, "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, An Xin, where is it now? The price of gold is only seven hundred and fifteen dollars an ounce, which is still low!" Bao Yugang stared at the tiger and blurted out: "Ayu, is the price still low? I remember that the international gold price was only 180 US dollars in 1977, and it only rose to more than two hundred at the end of 1978, and now it is nearly three at the end of 1978. Double the price!" Huo Yingdong also nodded and said, "Yes, A Yu, we all use ten times leverage, and we have invested in it, so it feels like there is no bottom." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Don''t worry, it''s only the U.S. Treasury secretary who has come forward. Even the U.S. President has not even been dispatched. It shows that the United States has not yet reached the time when the pressure is greatest. "Believe that those capitalists will never stop the evil wolves on Wall Street at a time when the country is making a fortune. I have paid close attention to the movements of Wall Street and London, England." "If there is a turmoil, I will notify you immediately, but you must be ready to deliver at any time, lest the funds are too late to escape." After hearing this, Bao Yu just felt relieved, and immediately nodded: "Then I can rest assured, I will be ready to listen to your news and act." Huo Yingdong also agreed: "Yes, A Yu, it''s up to you!" After that, the three of them changed to a more relaxed topic. ... At the same time, Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo, island country 7-11 retail company headquarters. President Toshifumi Suzuki was dealing with company affairs, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he came in without looking up. Then a subordinate came in and reported respectfully: "President, there is an important news to report to you." Suzuki Toshifumi paused, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head to look at him, and asked calmly, "What''s the matter?" The subordinate immediately said: "Just now, Taiichi Higashimoto, who was sent by the company to study at the American Southern Company, received a message that a Wall Street company was acquiring the American Southern Company." Suzuki Toshifumi was startled, the calmness no longer existed. He looked at his subordinates with burning eyes and asked, "Is this news true? What else did he say?" The subordinate nodded solemnly and said, "I have asked again and again, this news is true." "It''s just that he is only studying there after all, and he doesn''t know the news of the senior executives of American Southern. He is still inquiring, and will report to the company as soon as there is important news." Suzuki Toshifumi still feels unreliable. After his efforts, the 7-11 convenience store has found a right path in the island country. Now it is developing better and better, and his cooperation with the American Southern Company is also considered happy. In the unlikely event that the American Southern Company changes ownership and changes to an unspeakable boss, if something comes out, it will be in big trouble! After all, the 7-11 convenience store in the island country was authorized by the Southern Company, although they have to pay a 0.6% profit dividend for it. And the more he runs a 7-11 convenience store, the more he discovers that this is a good way and the prospect is bright, so he is determined to forge ahead, he is not satisfied with only developing in the island country. Since the American Southern Company can be acquired, why not be acquired by them? Thinking of this, Suzuki''s heart beat faster. He decided to go to the parent company Ito Yokado to put forward this opinion, but before that, he must first inquire about the situation. He picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Southern Company. "Hey¡­¡­" Listening to the other party''s words, Fum Min Suzuki''s face gradually became serious. After hanging up the phone, he immediately ordered people to notify the directors and call an emergency board meeting. After intense negotiations, Fumatoshi Suzuki struggled to persuade all the directors of the island nation¡¯s 7-11 retail company. The meeting unanimously passed the meeting to join the acquisition camp and strive to acquire the Southern Company. After an internal agreement was reached, Toshifumi Suzuki rushed to the parent company Ito Yokado, persuaded the parent company¡¯s president Masatoshi Ito, and received the parent company¡¯s support. Afterwards, Fumatoshi Suzuki selected several capable and reliable subordinates to form an acquisition team, flew to the United States on the same day, and then transferred to Dallas, Texas. There, it is the headquarters of the American Southern Company. On Xia Yu''s side, it was Julian Robertson, the general manager of Tiger Fund, who was in charge of acquiring the Southern Company. He happened to have a friend who held an important position at the First National Bank of Dallas, and the First National Bank of Dallas happened to be the main lending bank of the Southern Company. Therefore, Julian Robertson made full use of this relationship ~ www.novelhall.com~ through the tiger skin of the Texas Consortium to strategically oppress the US Southern Company, opening a hole. After a period of tug-of-war, the psychological defenses of the original shareholders of the Southern Company were defeated one by one. Seeing that it is about to succeed, who knew that a group of Japanese jumped out to join the competition, and the American Southern Company, which was supposed to agree to, began to be sold again. In the face of this unexpected situation, Julian Robertson sent someone to continue to attack the tough situation. On the other hand, he made a call to Xiangjiang to report the unexpected situation to Xia Yu. Hong Kong Kowloon, Jiuding Building, Chairman''s Office. "...I see, you continue to buy, and now you have only acquired 28% of the equity. This is far from enough. What I need is 100% of the equity!" "I will also interfere!" After speaking, Xia Yu hung up the phone. After thinking for a long time, a call came to the island country Jiuding Yonghe Fund Co., Ltd. Half an hour later, the call came back, and it was Kazuya Fukuhara on the other end of the call. "Mr. Fukuhara, I want to ask you something. Could you help me investigate Ito Yokado''s information... what?" "It has something to do with the Mitsui Foundation?!" "A peripheral company of the Mitsui Consortium system?!" "Okay, thank you, I know this, but I still have to trouble you to check the detailed information for me, preferably the detailed information of all shareholders,... OK, I''ll wait for your news!" "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu leaned on the boss''s chair, rubbed his temples, and contemplated. He didn''t expect that even if he acquired a Southern American company, such a moth would come out. The little devil''s dog nose would be too good! ps: ask for votes https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 743: Full harvest The Fukuhara family is worthy of being one of the core families of the Sanhe Foundation, and Fukuhara¡¯s intelligence collection efficiency is very high. The next day, detailed information about Ito Yokado was sent to Xia Yu. Seeing the above information, Xia Yu frowned, and he felt a little tricky. The reason is that it is difficult for Ito Yokado''s shareholders. There are only three shareholders in total. The largest shareholder and controlling shareholder is Ito Kogyo Co., Ltd., with a shareholding ratio of 53%. This is a company controlled by the Ito family. Founded in 1971, it is a real estate developer and a good money owner! The second shareholder is the island nation''s first life insurance company, which is the island nation''s second largest life insurance company. It is an unlisted private company and is controlled by the Yano family. Although the First Life Insurance Company is not under the control of the six major consortiums in the island country, it is engaged in insurance after all, and its cash flow is extremely scary, and it is also a difficult master, with a shareholding ratio of 26%. The third largest shareholder is Mitsui Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which belongs to the Mitsui Consortium and holds 21% of the shares. In addition, the trading bank of Ito Yokado is Sakura Bank, which is the core bank of the Mitsui Consortium. As for the island country 7-11 retail company, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ito Yokado, established in 1974. "Tuk tuk!" Xia Yu frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the desktop unconsciously, thinking about the solution. Ito Yokado is not listed, and the major shareholders are big wealthy owners. It is impossible for Xia Yu to force it. His original plan was to acquire a part of Ito Yokado''s equity, and then drag it back and let Ito Yokado give up the acquisition of the American Southern Company. Then, after acquiring the Southern Company, Xia Yu replaced the equity of Ito Yokado Company with the equity of the subsidiary Daoguo 7-11 Retail Company. In this way, the island country 7-11 retail company was acquired under its command. The original plan was beautiful, but after seeing the three major shareholders of Ito Yokado, Xia Yu knew that his plan could be declared bankrupt directly. Ito Yokado was founded in 1920, and it has been 60 years since it has more than 30 subsidiaries, and its business involves retail, catering, finance, processing and manufacturing, and publishing. Island 7-11 retail company is just one of them. In the industry operated by Ito Yokado, the flow of funds is very frequent. Since Sakura Bank is a designated trading bank, it has obtained great benefits. The Mitsui Consortium will not sell the shares held by Mitsui Life Insurance. In other words, the long-term benefits of holding shares are more attractive. As for the largest shareholder Ito Kogyo, it is even more impossible to sell equity! The only thing that may be broken is the island''s first life insurance company, the second largest shareholder. But even with the equity in the island nation''s No. 1 Life Insurance Company, it is difficult for Xia Yu to move in the face of Mitsui Life Insurance and Ito Kogyo in the same line. In exchange, one of the six major consortiums of the island country has come forward, and it may succeed. After a long time, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and murmured: "It seems that we still have to take down the American Southern Company first. As for the 7-11 retail company in the island country, we will look for opportunities later." "Furthermore, Ito Yokado is backed by the Mitsui Consortium and Daiichi Life Insurance. The funds are extremely strong, and it is too cost-effective to fight for funds. It cannot be left to the profit of the American Southern Company." "I can''t let Ito Yokado find out that the competitor is me, otherwise the trouble will be even greater!" After careful consideration, Xia Yu decided to hide behind the scenes, borrowing the tiger skin of the American master for the islanders. Isn''t American Southern Company located in Texas, so it turned to the Texas consortium. He remembered that the Texas Consortium had several major banks, so they approached these banks. As long as the dollar was in place, unbelief could not solve the problem. After thinking about it, Xia Yu called Julian Robertson to show him his attitude. Soon, Julian Robertson took action. Directly offered high commissions to Dallas First National Bank and Dallas Republic National Bank, and entrusted the two major banks to help acquire the Southern Company. ... With the passage of time, the impact of the US''s suspension of gold sales has grown, and the international gold price has increased. Xia Yu devoted most of his energy to the gold market and foreign exchange market. At this moment, Gavin Peter took the lead to achieve results and reported to Xia Yu. He bought the French Hachette Publishing Group wholly for a price of six million pounds. And Yan Wenhan did not disappoint Xia Yu. With the authorization of the chairman, Yan Wenhan was full of confidence. Under the suggestion of Rey Dario, he offered a high commission and invited Morgan Stanley Bank. In this era, Morgan Stanley has the power to dominate the world. Its customers include six of the world''s top ten oil giants and seven of the top ten US companies. The only slogan at this time was "If God wants to raise money, he will also look for Morgan Stanley." With the financial throne, Morgan Stanley makes a move, and it is no disadvantage! After nearly a month of preparation. On January 9th Yan Wenhan won the loss-making "Washington Star" at a cost of 15 million US dollars. On January 14th, the "Houston Chronicle" was taken at a price of 20 million US dollars. On January 17th, Yan Wenhan once again announced the good news. He doubled the premium and invested 35 million U.S. dollars. The real estate billionaire Mort Zuckerman was pleased to offer a daily circulation of 70. Ten thousand copies of the "New York Daily News" newspaper. The total cost of 70 million US dollars, equivalent to HK$3.22 billion, laid a solid foundation for Jiuding Newspaper Company in the United States! When Gavin Peter, who was in charge of acquisitions in Europe, learned of the news, he became anxious and stepped up efforts to tackle the acquisition target. On the side of Xiangjiang, Jiuding Newspaper Company also gained something. Faced with the carrot and stick of Jiuding Newspaper Company, the founder of "Film Biweekly", despite his unwillingness, yielded to reality and sold the magazine to Jiuding Newspaper Company. After the acquisition, Wu Siyuan immediately sent someone to establish a cooperation with "Film Biweekly". In the disturbance, time flies quickly. International gold prices are also rising rapidly. On January 18, the international gold price broke through the eight hundred dollars an ounce mark. After breaking through the barrier, the price of gold stopped rising for a while, and then climbed again. It seems that because it broke through the high price of eight hundred dollars, speculators all over the world have become popular, and the price of gold has risen to a new level. As soon as the trading opened on January 20, the international gold price rose to $830 an ounce. Seeing this price, Xia Yu decided not to wait! He gave an order, including London gold, USD/GBP, USD/JPY and other full harvest! PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 744: More than $0 billion in profit "Chairman, the fifth group reported that all the 10,000 lots of London gold futures held were completed, with an average price of US$835.5 per ounce, and the existing funds in the account were US$835.5 million. " "The chairman, the eighth group reported that all the 8,000 lots of London gold futures held were delivered, with an average price of $836.2 an ounce, and the existing funds in the account were $668.96 million. " "Chairman, the sixteenth group report..." In the large conference room of the Galaxy Fund, several dedicated telephones kept ringing, and the employees who answered the phone kept recording data on paper and then reported to Xia Yu who was sitting at the top. Although Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Insurance Company and Bright Fund are all involved in the speculation of London Gold, the four companies combined are not as much as Galaxy Fund. We must know that when Xia Yu left the UK last year, the Galaxy Fund left the right hand and held the London gold futures worth 14 billion US dollars at an average price of 520 million US dollars. With the international price of gold breaking through the US$800 per ounce mark, the value of this large London gold futures has already jumped to US$20 billion. With such a huge futures contract, it is too difficult to escape, and Xia Yu is not at ease at all, so he sits down in person. In addition, the Galaxy Fund began to make preparations for escape as early as a few months ago. The nearly 270,000 lots of gold futures were divided into thousands of accounts, and fifty operation teams were each responsible for dozens of accounts. In his spare time, Liu Xiao arranged for them to perform drills. He had already considered the possible situations and had measures to deal with every possible problem. Therefore, after Xia Yu''s order, the Galaxy Fund was able to deliver and escape in an orderly manner. Seeing that the Galaxy Fund''s team was working well, Xia Yu was relieved. Looking at the statistics showing more and more funds, the arc of Xia Yu''s mouth became wider and wider. In addition to London gold futures, the US dollar/pound sterling foreign exchange hyped by Bright Fund is also being liquidated. Elena, as a liaison officer, told Xia Yu of the company''s situation by phone. At 11 o''clock in the evening on January 21, most of the people in Xiangjiang fell asleep, and there were only sparse figures on the streets. But the four companies of Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. and Galaxy Fund are brightly lit. In winter, Eastern Time in the United States is 13 hours behind the time in Hong Kong. At this time, it was nine o''clock in the morning on January 21 in the United States. The price of gold futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange continued to climb, reaching $850 an ounce. Many companies that hold gold futures can''t help themselves. But some predators at the top of Wall Street are already on their way to retreat. Although they very much hope that the price of gold futures will continue to rise. But they are not stupid. They know that if they continue to rise, the United States will suffer heavy losses. The status of the dollar, the status of the United States in the oil field, and the prestige of the United States will all be hit hard. If the US economy is in a recession, in the long run, the people of the United States will suffer, and they will also suffer bad luck. 10:00 AM US time. Now President Jimmy Carter has appeared on television with a serious face and announced to the United States and the world that the US government will maintain the US''s position in the world at all costs. The development of the world economy requires a sound financial environment. After Jimmy Carter''s words were finished, the number of international communications around the world increased dozens of times. In just a few minutes, the news reached the ears of practitioners in the global financial industry. This immediately caused panic in the market. They understood that the U.S. government was acting for real, not just as the U.S. Treasury Secretary Miller said before. The New York Mercantile Exchange, the London Bullion Exchange, Zurich, Singapore, etc., gold futures prices have begun to plummet. By the end of the day, the price of gold futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange had fallen back to the eight hundred dollars an ounce mark. It was like riding a roller coaster, plummeting more than fifty points that day. Many of the people and organizations who had not had time to escape, or the last to take over, thumped their chests and were heartbroken. Some gamblers couldn''t accept it, so they climbed directly onto the rooftop and flew to the heaven they yearned for. But the people who have made money don''t care anymore, and have already secretly returned home to calculate the gain. Among these people, Xia Yu is included. Before U.S. President Jimmy Carter stepped forward to announce, all the gold futures held by Xia Yu''s companies had been delivered. After summing up the revenues of multiple companies, Xia Yu, who was alone in the office, couldn''t help laughing out loud as he looked at the string of numbers on the list, and was extremely happy. Among them, the Bright Fund Company in London made a net profit of US$410 million from speculating in gold futures. This was due to the late entry. In Jiuding Bank, Liu Tianci followed up the speculation in gold futures with great efforts, and continued to cover positions as soon as he had funds. Therefore, after liquidation, he obtained a net profit of US$790 million after deducting costs. Jiuding Insurance Company, because of its limited funds, despite Jason Gregg''s fierce move, the net profit was only 290 million US dollars. At Jiuding Securities Company, Wang Qi diversified his capital investment. The main capital was invested in the stock market. Fortunately, he used ultra-high leverage and made a profit of 580 million U.S. dollars. The most is the Galaxy Fund. At the time of 520 o''clock, the Galaxy Fund held a US$14 billion London gold futures contract, using ultra-high leverage, and the accumulated margin was only US$200 million. After the liquidation, all accounts of the Galaxy Fund added up to US$2.275 billion. After deducting the capital quota of US$13.8 billion, the security deposit of US$200 million, and the use of funds, the cumulative net profit of the Galaxy Fund was US$8.57 billion. The combined revenue of these five companies amounts to 10.64 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong also invested 400 million U.S. dollars at that time, which was handed over to Xia Yu to take care of them, and the proceeds were divided between five and five. These 400 million U.S. dollars made a profit of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, and Xia Yu earned half of it, with a net profit of 900 million U.S. dollars. The Bright Fund made a profit of 68 million pounds, equivalent to more than 120 million U.S. dollars. For USD/JPY, Jiuding Securities Company and Jiuding Yonghe Fund are all speculating. Jiuding Securities alone made four billion U.S. dollars. As for the Jiuding Yonghe Fund, Xia Yu deliberately controlled it, and the net profit of speculating in USD/JPY foreign exchange was US$620 million. According to Wang Qi''s report, Fukuhara Kazuo also admired Xia Yu after learning of the profit. Although Jiuding Yonghe Fund is a joint venture company , the profit earned is 50%, and Fukuhara and Fukuhara also benefited US$310 million. However, Xia Yu didn''t care. Anyway, it was the wool of the island country. . The funds used were also from Sanwa Bank. It was just a ride along with Fukuhara Kazuya, but it could deter Kazuya Fukuhara. If future calculations can be successful, this $310 million bait is definitely worthwhile. Xia Yu did not draw the money earned by Jiuding Yonghe Fund, and ordered Wang Qi to continue to expand the company and expand the influence of Jiuding Yonghe Fund in the island country. Xia Yu made a careful calculation and got rid of the Jiuding Yonghe Fund''s money. This time, more than a year of embedding the thread, added 15.66 billion U.S. dollars in liquidity in his hands. Part of the US$9.54 billion in funds earned last time was spent, and the rest was scattered in the confidential special accounts of companies such as Jiuding Securities, Jiuding Bank, and Galaxy Fund. Over the past year, major companies have successively made a lot of money. With a rough calculation in Xia Yu''s mind, his freely-disposable liquidity exceeded 20 billion US dollars at this time. Seeing such a large number, Rao couldn''t help being in a daze with Xia Yu''s mentality, just like dreaming. Perhaps his Jiuding consortium is not strong in overall strength, and its influence on all walks of life around the world is not strong, but in terms of liquidity, the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium may be able to mobilize more than 20 billion US dollars. But the six major consortiums of the island countries will definitely not be able to get them out for a while! With so much money, Xia Yu''s confidence is not ordinary. From then on, the ocean is wide and the fish leap, and the sky is high where the birds fly! He will start his hurricane mode! PS: Please order all the waves, thank you all for your meal, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 745: Decided to adjust the positioning of the consortium "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, congratulations!" As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu saw Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong sitting in the living room talking and laughing, Xia Yu immediately said with a smile. Bao Yugang immediately got up. Bao Yugang laughed loudly and said: "Thanks to your support, otherwise, where would we be this blessing!" Huo Yingdong said with approval: "Lao Bao is right, if it weren''t for your support, if we honestly do business if we want to make so much money, we don''t know how to be the year of the monkey!" "Haha, I didn''t do anything!" "Sit down, you are welcome!" Xia Yu smiled modestly and asked Bao Yugang to sit down. While drinking tea, Xia Yu asked: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, seeing your red faces, shouldn''t the harvest be small?" Bao Yugang smiled brighter, nodded, and said without any concealment: "The harvest is indeed not small. My gold futures contract was cleared around 838. After deducting the cost, the net profit reached two points. Three hundred million dollars!" 230 million US dollars, which is more than two billion in Hong Kong dollars! You must know that in the middle of last year, he was ranked seventh on the "Rich List" of Economic Weekly, and his total assets were only 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although with more than a year of rapid development, coupled with the recovery of Hong Kong stocks, his net worth has risen, and his total assets have reached more than six billion Hong Kong dollars. But the total assets is too watery. After all, the stocks go up and down, which is very fictitious. It is very difficult for him to withdraw 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, so he can only borrow from the bank. Now because of following Xia Yu''s speculation in gold futures, he has harvested two billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity in just six months. The gain is too great! If you operate shipping according to him, it will take at least ten years to make so much net profit. As soon as Bao Yu finished speaking, Huo Yingdong also said with a smile: "A Yu, thank you for your advice. My capital is smaller and I earn a little less than my old bag, but I also made $210 million." Xia Yu smiled and said congratulations: "Congratulations, your net worth has risen so fast!" "Next, there are even bigger surprises waiting for you!" As soon as Xia Yu said this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were shocked, and they looked forward to it. You know, under Xia Yu''s guidance, they gritted their teeth and drew out the working capital to follow Xia Yu to gamble, and they made two hundred and thirty million U.S. dollars and 210 million U.S. dollars respectively. And Xia Yu used their funds to speculate in gold futures a long time ago. They are outsiders who can make so much money, and if they work with a financial tycoon like Xia Yu, the income will never be bad. Seeing that the two were looking forward to it, Xia Yu stopped going around with them. He took out two detailed investment income statements from his bag and handed them to them separately, and said, "You can see, this is a special investment income statement for your 400 million US dollars of funds." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong nodded, and looked at them with relish before they could speak. Seeing the two of them constantly looking down, their expressions of shock grew thicker, and Xia Yu''s mouth formed an arc. For a long time, Bao Yugang reluctantly closed the income statement, with shock in his eyes, looking at Xia Yu with admiration, and said with emotion: "A Yu, I really can''t find any words to describe my mood. For you, I only have one word, take it!" With that said, Bao Yugang gave Xia Yu a thumbs up. On the investment income statement, it is detailed how the 400 million US dollars of funds are operated, with time and amount, etc., at a glance. Written so clearly, Xia Yu was to prove his innocence. Although in Bao Yugang''s view, Xia Yu doesn''t need to be like this at all, but Xia Yu still feels comfortable in his heart if he does it. At this time, Huo Yingdong also put down the investment income statement and said with emotion: "A Yu, indeed, for the capable people, the financial industry is a profiteering industry, but this bowl of rice is only for capable people like you. If you are qualified to eat, if you change to us, there is a high probability that you will lose your money!" Xia Yu smiled, did not answer the question, did not let the two stay on the topic, and said aloud: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, the income of this fund is here, is there any problem?" "No no!" "Of course not!" The two immediately shook their heads and said. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then paused and said: "Since there is no, then we will divide the money according to the previous agreement!" "After removing the cost, the total profit is 1.8 billion U.S. dollars. According to the agreement, I own half of the dividend, so I divide the 900 million U.S. dollars." Upon hearing this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong nodded immediately, saying that there was no problem. "In the initial capital of 400 million U.S. dollars, Lao Bao invested 220 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 55 percent, so the dividend was 495 million U.S. dollars." "Lao Huo invested 180 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 45 percent, so the dividend was 405 million U.S. dollars." Bao Yugang smiled and said to Huo Yingdong: "Old Huo, I''m sorry, I''m more than 90 million dollars more than you, regret it?" Huo Yingdong said nonchalantly: "Regret is regret, but who made me weaker than you, can''t come up with so much money, you deserve this money!" The two finished joking. Bao Yugang solemnly thanked Xia Yu again: "A Yu, you took me to earn 750 million U.S. dollars and doubled my assets. I don¡¯t say thank you very much. In my heart!" "I will use tea instead of wine, to toast you, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely advance and retreat with you!" Huo Yingdong also picked up his teacup and stood up. He sincerely looked at Xia Yu who had also got up and said, "A Yu, with our relationship, I won''t be imaginary with you. I have written down this kindness. You are me. Forever confidant, I respect you!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, clinked glasses with the two of them, and said with emotion: "As a whole Xiangjiang, my best thing is you two. I don''t have a chance to fall. Since I found the opportunity, of course I want to take everyone to make a fortune!" "May our friendship last forever!" "Eternal friendship!" "Hey!" "Hahaha..." The three of them drank it and laughed loudly. The relationship between the three of them became closer and closer in the laughter. Xia Yu smiled very happily, and his eyes were full of smiles. This time, because of him, Bao Yugang made a total of 725 million US dollars, equivalent to 6.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is about to catch up with the market value of Hutchison Whampoa before the acquisition. And Huo Yingdong, because of him, earned 615 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to HK$5.43 billion. Xia Yu can pat his chest and say that now he is actually the richest man in Xiangjiang, and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are definitely second and third respectively. And the three of them were in the same group at this time, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong closely surrounded him. Now if Xiangjiang provokes him, he won¡¯t bother him, and he no longer has any worries~ www.novelhall.com~ After re-settled, Xia Yu took out two special checks from her bag and handed them to Bao Yugang and Huo Ying east. Both checks were issued by Jiuding Bank, and Bao Yugang''s check was for 750 million U.S. dollars, including his dividends and principal. Huo Yingdong''s check was written for 585 million U.S. dollars, including his dividends and principal. Presumably the entire Hong Kong, Rao is HSBC will not write such huge checks. But Jiuding Bank belongs to Xia Yu. He has already greeted Liu Tianci. These two checks can only be withdrawn by Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. Anyone else will be invalid. Don''t worry about problems. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong solemnly accepted their cheques and kept them close to themselves. After watching the two put them together, Xia Yu thought for a while, and his face solemnly suggested: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, now Xiangjiang is developing rapidly. I suggest that you two think carefully about the industry you want to enter, and hurry up and establish a good foundation. Only then can they occupy an advantageous position in the subsequent development." "And with your strength, you can look at Asia and the world. After all, Xiangjiang is too small, it''s just a small pond." Bao Yugang nodded knowingly: "I understand this. Money is the most valuable only when it is spent on industry." ... After chatting with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong for two hours, he sent them away. After sending it away, Xia Yu decided to take a stroke and think about how to use this huge amount of money. Only when money is spent can it produce the greatest value! And now that the situation has changed drastically, it is time to adjust the foundation laid by the Jiuding Consortium! PS: It''s a critical moment, ask for a wave of subscriptions and tickets, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 746: The 7 pillars of the consortium After all, the money is only more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, which seems to be a lot, but if you want to buy giants from all walks of life, you don''t actually spend it. The Rockefeller consortium¡¯s assets reached more than 330 billion US dollars in 1974, and now six years later, they have grown to at least 400 billion US dollars. How easy is it to catch up? What''s more, there are so many large consortia in Europe and America, and it is not only the Rockefeller consortium! We have been able to catch up with the development of Western countries in hundreds of years in 70 years. Xia Yu believes that he can also achieve great-leap-forward development. But this requires Xia Yu to spend every penny on the ground and produce the greatest benefits. Next, Xia Yu summoned his own think tank, including think tanks and his powerful subordinates, to let them express their views. This time brainstorming took two days. Until the end, Xia Yu did not express any opinions, it seems that he was just listening with two ears, and occasionally recorded. In fact, Xia Yu just wanted to use this kind of brainstorming situation to check the gaps. Perhaps his subordinates are all top-notch talents, and they are all really smart people. A group of smart people can definitely think of many things that ordinary people can''t think of. But Xia Yu''s heart has always been sober, and they also have one thing that is far behind him, and that is their long-term strategic vision. Strategy is the key to determining the upper limit and the fundamental factor of success! For his Jiuding Consortium, Xia Yu already had a general direction in his mind. After combining their opinions, a new positioning that best suits the current situation was released. Each stage has the situation of each stage, and it will definitely be adjusted again later, but for the time being, Xia Yu thinks he is the most suitable. At present, his Jiuding consortium business is mixed, involved in cultural media, finance, real estate, infrastructure, retail, ports, electricity, hotels, transportation, food, manufacturing, medicine, automobiles, auctions, jewelry and other industries. Among the industries involved, finance is the top-notch one, followed by cultural media, the automobile industry ranks third, and the auction industry ranks first in the world. As for companies in other industries, only the new companies that have just entered the industry are worse. The better ones are in the top ten of Xiangjiang, and the best is to dominate in Xiangjiang, but it is not outstanding to expand to Asia and the world. Excluding Xia Yu''s funds, if a single-round strength is qualified to enter the world''s top 500 companies, there is only Jiuding Financial Group, and Jiuding Culture Media Group can be close to the threshold of the world''s top 500 companies. If the Jiuding Consortium wants to break out of Xiangjiang, out of Asia, and break hands with the big consortiums in the world, it must have a solid and strong foundation. With these pillars, Xia Yu chose seven industries: finance, cultural media, energy, automobile manufacturing, biomedicine, high-tech, and retail. These seven industries are more or less involved, such as the field of biomedicine, Tai Chi Pharmaceutical and Yangshengtang, but only the field of Chinese medicine. In the high-tech field, Tiangong Electronics can be touched, but it can only be regarded as marginal. As far as energy is concerned, only Xiangjiang Electric Light Co., Ltd. is the only one available. Electricity is also considered energy, and then BP''s 4% equity. Xia Yu will fully invest in these seven industries. But it''s not to say that companies in other industries don''t care anymore except for these seven industries. It''s just that the importance of the present is a little bit outside. If you want to get support, you have to find a bank. After the decision, Xia Yu activated three companies that had long been offshore registered companies, namely Jiuding Energy Group, Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group, and Tiangong Automobile Group. After opening, the Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Company, which was originally under the Jiuding Industrial Group, was spun off and placed under the Jiuding Energy Group. And Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group, under the jurisdiction of Xiangjiang Chinese Medicine School, Chunqiu Hospital, Taiji Pharmaceutical and Yangshengtang. Tiangong Automobile Group has annexed the Jardine Automobile Group, which was originally under the Jiuding Industrial Group, under its jurisdiction an automobile manufacturing company in Indonesia, a motorcycle manufacturing company that cooperates with Honda, and Renfu Xing Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. But the most prominent Rolls-Royce Motor Company, in order to make it easier to move in the future, Xia Yu has no plans to move for the time being, and is still linked to the Bright Fund. After planning, Xia Yu began to formulate relevant implementation plans based on his past life memory. As time entered February, a good news came from across the ocean. With the help of Morgan Stanley, the Southern Company ultimately fell into Xia Yu''s hands. Xia Yu can''t control what Ito Yokado''s reaction is, but he knows that from this moment on, the 7-11 convenience store brand has come to his hands, and the island country 7-11 retail company will be under his control. And the ceiling of his 7-11 convenience retail store was completely opened, and Fu Kai could finally rush to the Southeast Asian market without any hesitation. At this time, Gavin Peter wandered in Europe for more than two months and finally returned to Xiangjiang to report to Xia Yu. "Gavin, how are the results?" In the office, following Xia Yu''s question, Gavin Peter had some embarrassed smiles on his face. He immediately submitted the document and said convincingly: "Chairman, all the results are on this." After speaking, he sat quietly on the side, seeming to be in a daze. After Xia Yu flipped through it, a smile appeared on his mouth, knowing why Gavin Peter was in such a state. Gavin Peter felt embarrassed. In November, Gavin Peter proposed to acquire the largest publishing houses in West Germany, France and Spain, while Xia Yu listed an acquisition target each. After more than two months, the acquisition targets listed by Xia Yu have been acquired For example, the French Hachette Publishing Group was acquired by 6 million pounds. West Springer Publishing was acquired by 42.6 million marks, which is equivalent to 23 million U.S. dollars in US dollars. The Planetary Press in Spain is the most expensive, spending 52 million dollars. In addition to these three results, the 35.8% equity of Itaca, which the Fritz family holds, was taken over by Gavin Peter for 75 million US dollars. The above four results are all the results of Gavin Peter''s trip. As for the publishing houses that ranked first in the three countries of France, West Germany and Spain that he mentioned earlier, they either refused his acquisition. Even if they were willing to sell their shares, the price was terribly high, which made Gavin Peter feel shocked. Fortunately, the targets specified by the chairman have been acquired, giving Gavin Peter a certain amount of confidence. Xia Yu didn''t embarrass Gavin Peter, so he ignored his expression and said gently, "Gavin, you did a great job. You have worked hard." "These companies have been acquired, and you must complete the integration as soon as possible to maximize the use of resources." "Next, you will focus on the UK and the US." Gavin Peter took a deep breath and replied, "Chairman, I remember!" After encouraging Gavin Peter, Xia Yu sent him away, and he went home to pack up. In a few days, for his seven pillars of the consortium plan, he must go to the United States. His route was to fly to London first, and then fly across the Atlantic from London to New York on the east coast of the United States. Packed things up, before leaving, Xia Yu called Liu Tianci and Wang Qi to the office again. PS: Ask for votes and subscribe! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 747: Calculate 0 leaf bank "Close the door!" After Wang Qi came in, Xia Yu told him. Wang Qi stopped, closed and locked the door, and then sat side by side with Liu Tianci who had already arrived, quietly watching Xia Yu. "How is the situation at Chiba Bank?" Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and asked straight to the subject. The Chiba Bank mentioned in Xia Yukou is a regional bank in an island country. This bank was listed in 1971 and is a constituent stock of the Nikkei 225 Index. The headquarters of Chiba Bank is located in the island country of Chiba Prefecture and is the largest bank in Chiba Prefecture. Chiba Prefecture, on the other hand, is an important part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, one of the three major metropolitan areas in the island nation. It is located in Tokyo Bay and has the 28th largest land area among all counties in the island nation. As for population, it ranks in the entire island nation. The sixth place among all counties. Chiba Prefecture is the most important industrial concentration in the island country, but it is in this place that Chiba Bank occupies 40% of the loan market share and 25% of the deposit market share of Chiba Prefecture. In addition, Chiba Bank also has branches in Osaka, New York, London, and Hong Kong. But the reason why such a bank is targeted by Xia Yu is because it has an extremely special point-it has not been infiltrated by any of the six major consortia of the island country! In other words, there is no consortium behind it! This kind of bank is an excellent acquisition target! Not to mention future generations, Chiba Bank¡¯s assets reached 100 billion U.S. dollars, ranking one of the two hundred largest banks in the world. So in silence, Xia Yu formulated an acquisition plan for it. Wang Qi straightened up, his smile appeared involuntarily. He said in a loud voice report: "Chairman, this time, we have sold US$1.2 billion worth of gold futures to Chiba Bank. Now the international gold price has fallen to 738. For one ounce of U.S. dollar, Chiba Bank has already lost $152 million in gold futures." "Now Chiba Bank has always wanted to sell, but no institution will take over." Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn''t help being happy. Now the situation of international gold futures is clear at a glance, and it has been falling. In this case, it is too late to run, and no institution will pick up again. After having fun, Xia Yu continued to ask: "What about foreign exchange?" Wang Qi replied: "In terms of foreign exchange, because it involves the secrets of Chiba Bank, I am not sure how much foreign exchange they have speculated, but as far as I know, Chiba Bank has lost at least 100 million US dollars!" Gold futures are currently losing US$152 million and foreign exchange is losing US$100 million. This is US$252 million! Last year, the annual net profit of Chiba Bank was less than US$100 million! Now it is equivalent to losing more than two and a half years of net profit. If this news is exposed, Chiba Bank¡¯s stock price will definitely plummet, and no amount of slump will stop. Speaking of stock prices, Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi and asked: "What about stock prices?" Wang Qi said: ¡°Because they held the news too tightly, the outside world is still unclear about the facts of their losses, but we sold some of the stocks, so Chiba Bank¡¯s share price fell slightly.¡± "We borrowed a total of 17% of the equity to go short, and now we have cashed out 12%, and the remaining 5% of the equity has all been opened, and we can do it at any time!" Xia Yu immediately touched his palm and said, "Okay, now that you are ready, don''t wait any longer, let''s do it!" "Spread the news of the loss of Chiba Bank, but don''t rush to close the net. According to my judgment, there is a high probability that the price of gold will plummet this month, and it is possible to fall below 600!" "When you realize that the time is right, start the acquisition. I hope I can hear your good news when I am in the United States!" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci and Wang Qi with scorching eyes. The two looked solemn, and both nodded yes. After the three discussed the details, Wang Qi and Liu Tianci left happily. In order to acquire Chiba Bank, the layout has lasted more than half a year, and now it is finally time to harvest. Moreover, the success rate of the plan is extremely high. It is impossible to say that this time Jiuding Bank will extend its tentacles into the island country and own a top regional bank. As long as Chiba Bank gets it, Xia Yu will have his own top secret stronghold. By then, the security of various operations in the island country will be greatly improved, and he can **** the blood of the island country even more unscrupulously. ... Based on Xia Yu''s character, he will do nothing if he does not plan, and he will seek the overall situation if he seeks. Even the Chiba Bank in the island country was calculated by him, not to mention the Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland that he had already targeted. What''s more, most of the gold futures Xia Yu speculates are London gold futures, and the value of gold futures contracts exceeds US$20 billion. Such a huge futures contract, even if it is divided into a quarter, is enough for Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland to break their bones! When he arrived in London in a low-key manner, he saw Elena wearing a white down jacket and a pink knitted hat at Heathrow International Airport. London in February, whether in the city or in the outskirts, was covered in silver. There happened to be a heavy snowfall last night. At this time, the area of ??snow was as thick as five or six centimeters. There are forklifts and workers clearing snow everywhere. "Xia Yu, it''s nice to meet you! Welcome to the UK again!" Before coming, Xia Yu called Elena, so the latter was waiting at the airport early for Xia Yu''s arrival. At this time, seeing Xia Yu coming out, he couldn''t help but greeted him with joy and kissed Xia Yu. "Elena, long time no see, I miss you so much! You are exceptionally holy and beautiful today!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Elena smiled more on her pretty face, and said with joy, "Really? Thank you!" Xia Yu said solemnly: "Of course it is true. I never bear to deceive a beautiful girl." The corners of Elena''s mouth were slightly pursed, and she looked at Xia Yu carefully, then stared at him suddenly and asked: "Handsome Mr. Xia, do I know what you said to a few girls?" Xia Yu, who was unprepared, suddenly looked stiff. He just wanted to explain, he saw Elena "pouch" and chuckled her mouth, her beautiful eyes completing the crescent. Xia Yu knew immediately that he had been teased by Elena, and he couldn''t help but shake his head and laugh and cry. When did Elena become weird and start this joke with him. But let alone, Xia Yu was really taken aback, thinking that Elena''s attitude towards him had changed drastically. Fortunately, his attitude has changed, just a change in a good direction, and he is more casual and intimate with him. A sentence suddenly appeared in Xia Yu''s mind, that is, "More than friends, less than lovers". After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this relationship between him and Elena has such a layer of membrane that hinders the relationship between the two of them from their lovers. After laughing, Xia Yu watched Elena''s face flushed from the cold, and he arranged her white scarf and whispered: "Elena, thank you for coming to pick me up, the weather It''s too cold, let''s get in the car!" After that, he and Elena got into the car next to him. The air conditioner was turned on and the temperature was high. Xia Yu couldn''t help taking a deep breath and leaned comfortably on the backrest. "Xia Yu, how long will you stay in London this time?" In the car, Elena, who was standing side by side with Xia Yu, took off her knitted hat, combed her hair lightly, and turned her head to ask expectantly. Xia Yu looked at the beautiful face close at hand and the expectant look in those beautiful eyes. He originally wanted to say that he would stay for a day or two and immediately changed his words and said, "About three or four days." Rao was Xia Yu for two days, but Elena was still disappointed. The look of disappointment and regret surfaced unabashedly on his face, making Xia Yu feel like he had done something wrong, and a faint sense of guilt rose in his heart. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain and comfort Elena. He never thought that Elena had adjusted, her smile was still bright, it seemed that the disappointment and regret just now were just illusions. Elena blinked her big eyes and smiled and asked: "It''s good for three or four days. The scenery of London in winter is very good. I know there are several places with very good scenery. Are you free to go?" Xia Yu, who was already a little guilty, immediately smiled and nodded: "Of course, it is my honour to invite a beautiful princess, and I will be free no matter what." Elena felt sweet in her heart and continued to chat with Xia Yu. The two have not seen each other for several months. Although they contact each other by phone every day, they seem to have endless topics and never get tired of talking. While talking and laughing, the motorcade shuttled through the snow-covered city and drove towards the suburban manor. PS: Ask for tickets and book all, crabs! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 748: Hold the deadly handles of 2 banks After tidying up the room, we had lunch at home by the way. After a nap, Xia Yu and Elena went to the Bright Fund Company together. "Hi boss!" Seeing Xia Yu and Elena come together, George Berkeley greeted Xia Yu immediately, and then nodded towards Elena. "George, it''s been a long time since I saw you, have you been under pressure at work lately?" Xia Yu asked in an easygoing manner. George Berkeley smiled and shook his head: "There is not much pressure, your boss has pointed out the direction for my work, the company will not take detours, it is easier!" "Just relax, think more and summarize when you have time!" "I know!" ... During the chat and laugh, a group of people came to the office, and after they were seated one after another, someone immediately made tea and coffee. After the serving subordinates went out, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and asked quietly, "How is the situation with Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland?" George Berkeley showed a smile on his face and said, "Boss, we have acquired a lot of shares in these two banks." "Among them, 26% of the shares in Standard Chartered Bank were acquired, and 15% of the shares were acquired from four small shareholders with a shell company, and the remaining 9% was acquired from the stock market." "Acquired 22% of the Royal Bank of Scotland, 16% of the shares from five minority shareholders, and the remaining 6% from the stock market." "Because we have deliberately lengthened the timeline, the stock prices of the two banks have not risen much." Calculating carefully, it has been nine months since May last year. As for the entire acquisition plan, the wholly-owned acquisition of the two banks will be completed within two years. Today''s shareholding ratio is relatively low, which shows that George Berkeley has acted cautiously. Xia Yu took a sip of tea, sighed and asked: "London Gold Futures, Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland have eaten a lot, right?" George Berkeley smiled and nodded: "We have eaten a lot, among which Standard Chartered Bank has eaten our $2 billion contract, and Royal Bank of Scotland has eaten our $2.2 billion contract." "As for whether they will take over the futures contracts of other institutions, I haven''t inquired yet!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter if you don''t inquire, it will be enough for them to take over our contract." By the end of this month, it will be more than ten days before the international gold price can drop below 600 points. Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland both received orders above 830. Even if it only fell to 600 points, the drop was more than 27.7%. This means that by that time, Standard Chartered Bank will have at least a loss of more than US$500 million, and the Royal Bank of Scotland will have a loss of more than US$600 million. It is equivalent to the net profit of each bank in one or two years or two or three years. As long as this thunder bursts out, it will definitely blow up the stock prices of the two banks, and a bad Standard Chartered Bank will go bankrupt. Thinking of bankruptcy, Xia Yu moved in his heart and asked George Berkeley with concern: "What is the total capital of George, Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland?" Although there is only one word difference between the total capital and total assets of a bank, there are essential differences. Bank capital refers to the own capital invested by the owner of bank capital to obtain profits for operating the bank, and the monetary capital concentrated in the bank through various channels. Bank capital is to bear the unexpected loss of the bank. In order to prevent loan and investment losses from affecting normal operations, banks must draw loan loss reserves based on the risk status of loans and investments. However, the loan loss reserve only covers expected operating losses, and the loan and investment losses that exceed the loan loss reserve must be borne by capital. If the unexpected loss exceeds the amount of capital, the bank will be in a state of insolvency and bankruptcy will occur. The bankruptcy of the Bank of Barings that resonated throughout the world in past lives was forcibly bankrupted and liquidated because its losses exceeded the bank''s capital. In 1995, the Bank of Barings, which had total assets of more than 6 billion pounds in 1995, had a global control of 27 billion pounds in assets, suffered a loss of 600 million pounds due to a subordinate''s own proposition and high leverage speculation in the Nikkei 225 futures contract. Far beyond the total capital of the Bank of Barings 350 million pounds. Bank of Bahrain went bankrupt as a result, and was eventually acquired by the Dutch International Group at a nominal price of one pound more than ten days later. Therefore, bank capital is extremely important for banks. The higher the bank capital, the lower the risk of bankruptcy. George Berkeley smiled and said solemnly: "The total capital of Standard Chartered Bank is 250 million pounds, and the total capital of Royal Bank of Scotland is even higher, which is 300 million pounds." The current pound/dollar exchange rate is 1.29 US dollars per pound. Xia Yu had exchange rate information in his mind and quickly calculated it in his mind. Converted to British pounds, Standard Chartered Bank lost about 240 million pounds. The Royal Bank of Scotland has lost more than 260 million pounds. In other words, when the international gold price fell below 600 points, even if Standard Chartered Bank did not accept any gold futures contracts from other institutions, Standard Chartered Bank lost 96% of its total capital. If the international gold price falls by ten more points and falls below 590 points, Standard Chartered Bank will lose 10 million pounds, and Standard Chartered Bank¡¯s total capital will be directly in deficit. So as long as the Bank of England¡¯s Bank of England is followed, the latter will directly intervene, prohibiting Standard Chartered Bank from engaging in trading activities and forcibly applying for asset liquidation. Looking at the situation now, the Royal Bank of Scotland is a little better and will not go bankrupt. But Standard Chartered Bank''s risk is greater! In fact, Standard Chartered Bank should be fortunate that the depreciation of the US dollar has caused the relative appreciation of the British pound to 2.29 points. If it was last year, the pound/dollar exchange rate was 1.92, then when the international gold price fell below 600 points, Standard Chartered Bank would be 100% bankrupt, and even the Royal Bank of Scotland, which seemed safe at this time, would also go bankrupt! At that time, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the UK and even the European financial industry. But even in this situation, the management of Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland must be frightened for fear that the international gold price will continue to plummet. If one is not good then they will all be blown up. The investment is right, you can make a lot of money, but if the investment fails, you have to bear the consequences of the investment failure. "If you do this, you might bankrupt Standard Chartered Bank..." A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. Then his thinking diverged, and he thought of the case of the symbolic acquisition of Bahrain Bank by the Dutch International Group by one pound in his previous life. His heart was a little moved. Fortunately, reason dispelled his thoughts in time. If Standard Chartered Bank really went bankrupt, it would not be a good thing for him, because then he would not have his turn to pick up the corpse. After all, this is only an abrupt investment bankruptcy, not bankruptcy due to management or other factors, as long as the injection of capital can revive the bank and turn it back into a high-quality bank. But even if the Standard Chartered Bank is not bankrupted, this news will be a handle. If it is used well, it can coerce the senior management and shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank into agreeing to sell the shares to him at a low price, and they will absolutely not dare to speak out. Otherwise, the one bad thing is that the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank has dropped to the bottom due to thunderstorms, and they will suffer greater losses. "It seems that the advantage this time is greater, we can''t use a similar approach to Chiba Bank." "Not only can''t take the initiative to expose it, but we have to find a way to cover the covers for Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland! In order to achieve private transactions!" Thinking of this, Xia Yu told George Berkeley: "George, be careful not to divulge these two news. Continue to wait for the price of gold to fall, and after it drops to 600 points, you will contact the shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland. Forcing them to sell us their equity at a low price." "If it succeeds this time, the two-year plan will be completed ahead of schedule!" George Berkeley thinks the same way. Although doing so is sinister, it is in their best interest, saving money and reducing difficulty. In order not to be thundered, the shareholders of the two banks will sell their shares at a low price while holding their noses, and they have to take the initiative to help solve the trouble that the government may interfere. George Berkeley nodded confidently and promised: "Boss, don''t worry, I know what to do. I will try my best to acquire the two banks in its entirety." The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he nodded slightly and said, "Well! I''m waiting for your good news!" Elena, who had been sitting quietly next to her, watched Xia Yu''s gestures and decided the fate of the two banks, and a blur of vision flashed in her eyes. PS: Ask for tickets and order! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 749: Rising car company After telling George Berkeley, Xia Yu and Elena set off for Rolls-Royce Motor Company. In the car, Xia Yu asked Elena about the Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Compared to George Berkeley, Elena, the representative of the two shareholders of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, has a better understanding of the operation of Rolls-Royce Motor Company. "Elena, how is the operation of the car company?" Elena smiled like a peach blossom, pulled her hair lightly, and said softly: "The company is now operating very well. The new generation of Phantom and Bentley Continental were popular throughout the UK once they were launched, and then quickly spread throughout Europe. The company is now the focal point of the entire European automotive industry." "Even Jaguar Motor Company, the best-selling car company, has been hit by us and its stock price has fallen a lot. My father told me that the retired Sir William Lyons is very anxious." "All major automobile companies are studying our 4S model. In this regard, we are the creators of standards." "According to yesterday¡¯s statistics, since January 1, Rolls-Royce¡¯s new-generation Phantom has sold 522 units, achieving sales of 87.6 million pounds, ranking it among the single-model car sales in the UK automotive sector. second." "Bentley Continental sold 1,520 vehicles and achieved sales of 98.8 million pounds, ranking first in the sales of single-model cars in the UK automotive sector." "Except for these two cars, other models have sold 109 vehicles in total, with sales of 14.2 million pounds, so now the company has sold 2151 vehicles in total. Sales exceeded 200 million pounds!" "And our company won last month''s sales champion!" Speaking of this, Elena paused and said to Xia Yu again: "Xia Yu, according to the company¡¯s analysis, if the company finishes participating in the Geneva Motor Expo next month, the monthly sales may exceed 10,000. The production capacity of 100,000 vehicles may not be sufficient in the next two years, so Rudolf Brooke proposed to build two more production lines yesterday." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "It''s time to expand the production line in advance. I will tell him, let''s build a production line according to the standard of 500,000 vehicles per year!" If the annual output can reach 500,000 vehicles, then Rolls-Royce Motor Company will be able to squeeze into the world''s second-rate class and catch up with the world-class auto companies with annual output of more than one million. For now, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars still has a long way to go, but with the current development momentum, as long as no mistakes are made, the future can be expected! ... While talking and laughing, the car drove downstairs to the Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Xia Yu and Elena went upstairs to meet Rudolph Brook. "Boss, good morning!" "Elena, good morning!" Rudolf Brook respectfully greeted Xia Yu. At this time, his face was flushed, and his self-confidence was on the surface. Obviously, the good condition of the company during this period made him enthusiastic about his work. "Rudolph, it''s been a long time since I saw you, I have worked hard for you this time!" Xia Yu greeted Rudolph Brooke kindly, which made Rudolph Brooke happy. "No hard work, this is my job responsibility!" "Boss, are you going to the factory now?" "Let''s take a look now!" After that, Xia Yu and others went to the car factory with Rudolf Brooke and the operation of the parallax factory. After some inspections, Xia Yu was very satisfied and praised Rudolph Brooke unabashedly. One thing that impressed Xia Yu was that the workers¡¯ enthusiasm and respect for him were high, and they all described themselves as our factory. Obviously they had a strong sense of belonging and honor for the company. This is what Xia Yu satisfied. Then we talked about their wages halfway through, and almost no worker would think that wages are low. To sum it up, the money is in place, I am very proud and satisfied, and the employees are doing their job well. With such a mental outlook, employees can naturally devote themselves to creating more value for the company. Therefore, Xia Yu is very satisfied with Rudolf Brooke''s management and has no entrustment. After the inspection, Xia Yu and others came to rest in the management office of the factory. After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu asked Rudolf Brook about his previous tasks: "Rudolf, what I asked you to investigate before, what is the situation now?" Although the Rolls-Royce Motor Company is in a very good situation, it has sold more than 2,000 cars in just over a month. However, Xia Yu did not forget the original situation of Rolls-Royce Motor Company. As a top luxury car company, Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s previous peak production capacity was only 2,000 vehicles a year, and Bentley''s annual production peak was only able to reach it. Five thousand vehicles. Moreover, the situation in the previous years was not good, and the automobile production lines were mostly idle. Although Xia Yu has made preparations in advance to expand the production line and increase the production capacity to 200,000 vehicles, manufacturing cars is not a playhouse. The production line alone is useless, and there must be a sufficient supply of parts. A car is made up of more than 10,000 non-removable parts. If it is an F1 car, there can be more than 20,000 parts. Under this circumstance, expanding production capacity is not a simple matter, it is completely affected. Furthermore, the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Continental have only been released for more than a month, and their influence is still in a period of explosive growth. More than 2,000 vehicles in more than a month will not be there. As long as the advantage is maintained, the world will sell 5,000 in a month. Even 10,000 vehicles are possible! Especially next month in March, the Geneva International Auto Show will be held, when car dealers from all over the world will gather in Geneva, and now major media have determined that Rolls-Royce Phantom of the new generation and Bentley Continental will be the best in the auto show. Two bright stars. You don''t need to guess that the new generation of Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Continental will open the way to the world. Under such circumstances, the annual sales of Bentley Continental alone are not comparable to BMW, even if it is equivalent to one-tenth, there are more than 50,000 vehicles. Now Bentley Continental only sells more than 1,000 vehicles a month. , Where is it! In the previous life, Toyota created the luxury car brand Lexus and sold nearly 20,000 vehicles in the first year. This is still in the absence of a Lexus nationality. The current Bentley Continental, but backed by the popularity of Bentley''s ultra-luxury cars, sells luxury cars at the price, the starting point advantage is much higher than Toyota''s Lexus! In order to cope with the parts supply chain when sales explode in the future, and even to prevent opponents from using out-of-the-box recruitment, the best way to plan for the long-term is to buy shares or even acquire auto parts companies. This road is also the only way for Rolls-Royce Motor Company to become a world-class automobile giant. Looking at the global auto giants, which one does not have a strong auto parts supply chain? Volkswagen and BMW in Germany are backed by auto parts suppliers such as Bosch, Continental, ZF, ThyssenKrupp, MAHLE and BASF. Island countries such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc. are backed by auto parts suppliers such as Aisin Seiki, Denso, Yazaki, Panasonic Automotive Systems, and Sumitomo Electric ~ www.novelhall.com ~ GM, Ford and Chrysler in the United States do not Having said that, Detroit Auto City has the most complete auto parts supply chain in the world. Only the major automobile companies in the UK have their own brands, although they are well-known, but almost all of them have been declining. They are also sold in the country. Sales are pitifully low. Even companies in the industry chain are not operating well. Auto parts supply The chain has been gradually annexed by German component manufacturers, and there is still little left with autonomy. Although the level of car manufacturing in the UK is still world-class, look at the car factories located all over the UK. Most of them are branches opened by car companies in other countries in the UK, mainly for the UK''s engine technology and system technology. Scientific research resources. Just like now, many parts of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars have to be purchased from companies such as Bosch and BMW. This situation is absolutely impossible, and there must be an independent parts supply chain! So Xia Yu asked Rudolph Brook to do this work early. Rudolf Brooke looked down, put down his cup calmly, took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xia Yu. At the same time, he reported to Xia Yuhui: "Boss, I have investigated clearly and found a few acquisitions. aims." ¡°The auto parts companies in West Germany are almost all family-owned, they are not listed, and backed by consortia, it is difficult for us to acquire, even if we want to buy shares, it is very difficult.¡± "The other is that cost and efficiency are considered, so in the first batch, I chose two companies in the UK and one company in Canada."

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 750: The possibility of dominating the British car market While Rudolf Brooke was talking, Xia Yu had already watched. Today, there are really very few British auto parts suppliers left. In the report made by Rudolf Brooke, two targets for acquisition or shareholding were selected in the UK. And one of the goals was very special. It made Xia Yu''s eyes brighten, and he could not help but sigh Rudolph Brooke''s courage and appetite after following him for a period of time. He even started the company''s idea. This goal is the Leland Automobile Group. Speaking of Leland Automobile Group, ordinary people have never heard of it, but if they waited for the name change in 1989, they would be familiar with the Rover Group. The formation of Leland Automobile Group is more complicated. At the very beginning, in 1952, the Austin Depot and the Norfield Depot merged to form the British Motor Company, which included Morris, Wolseley, Riley and many other car brands. Then in 1966, the prestigious Rover Motor Company, which was on par with Rolls-Royce Motors, was acquired by the British truck manufacturer Leland. In 1968, the British Motor Company teamed up with Jaguar (Puma) Motor Company and Leyland Motor Company to form the British Leyland Motor Group. It is a pity that the successive mergers and acquisitions have greatly increased the strength of the Leland Automobile Group. However, due to improper management and environmental impact, the Leland Automobile Group has been operating poorly and fell into a loss vortex. After a few years, I couldn''t hold it anymore. It was nationalized in 1975, and it is still deep in the quagmire of losses. Leyland Motor Group¡¯s losses are not alone. In this environment, almost all major British car companies lose money. Only Jaguar Motors under Leyland Motor Group and Xia Yu¡¯s Rolls can maintain profitability. Rice Motor Company. Before Xia Yu took over, Rolls-Royce Motor Company was also one of the loss-making auto companies. Let''s talk about the Leyland Automobile Group, why Rudolf Brooke considers it worthy of acquisition is because of its chassis and engine. Leyland Motor Group is the best chassis manufacturer in the UK. Previously, Jaguar relied on the Leyland Motor Group''s chassis to create the UK''s lowest chassis car with very good performance. Now the chassis used by Rolls-Royce Motor Company is also supplied by Leland Motor Group. In addition to the chassis, the engine quality of Leland Automobile Group is also particularly high. If the Leyland Motor Group can be acquired, Rolls-Royce Motor Company will have a stable supply of chassis and engines, and Leyland Motor Group will also produce other auto parts, which can complement Rolls-Royce Motor Company. This is just an advantage in auto parts, not enough to surprise Xia Yu. What makes him happy is yet to come. This is about the level of British car brands. Nowadays, only Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Rover can be shortlisted for the British super-luxury car brands, or the brands of noble cars. Among them, Rolls-Royce has always been dubbed the reputation of "aristocrat in the car", which represents the gentlemanly demeanor of the aristocracy, so it is loved by the upper class. Bentley''s brand has always given people the most powerful and uncompromising feeling. It is noble, elegant and solitary, coupled with comfort and exquisite workmanship, and is also loved by the upper class. Finally, the Rover car, which has been drifting away over the years, has been changed hands, but its popularity has not been compromised. Back then, the Rover P5 was loved by the Queen of England and was known as the exclusive car of the British royal family. It has a profound cultural heritage and is almost on par with Rolls Royce. If the Leland Automobile Group can be acquired, then the three top three car brands in the UK will be rounded up by Xia Yu. By then, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will be able to revolve around the three brands and establish itself as the top car company in the UK, not to mention sales, but in terms of popularity and positioning, it is definitely the highest. Do you think that Leland Automobile Group has such a thing? That would be a big mistake! Leland Automobile Group is definitely a treasure that can be digged back and forth. The Rover Automobile brand is just one of them. Thinking about its previous series of mergers and acquisitions and combinations, you can imagine one or two. Rover¡¯s English name is Rover, while Land Rover¡¯s English name is LandRover. In fact, the Land Rover brand is within the Rover Group. At the beginning, Land Rover used the Rover brand. It was not until later that Land Rover was used to develop a series of four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. In addition to the Land Rover brand, it also owns two car brands, MINI and Morris. In 1994, the Rover Group, which was renamed by Leyland Motor Group, was acquired by the German BMW Group for 800 million pounds. After the acquisition, BMW removed the three brands of Rover, MINI and Land Rover from it, and later sold Land Rover to The Indian Tata Group, MINI kept it for its own use, Rover and Morris sold to China Southern Automobile Group in 2005, after Morris changed its name to MG. In addition to the above-mentioned car brands, Leland Automobile Group also owns 27.4% of Jaguar Motor Company''s shares. UU¿´Êé is the largest shareholder, in the case of Sir William Lyons'' retirement. , Jaguar Motor Company was run by Leland Automobile Group. In the field of cars, Leland Automobile Group has so many gold mines, as well as many in the field of trucks and buses. Don''t forget, Leland Motor Company before the merger was a truck company. In the 1950s and 1960s, Leyland Motor Company acquired many British car manufacturers, such as ParkRoyal, Bristol, AEC, Abian, etc., and owned many famous bus series, such as Dynaudio Jumbo and Leyland Victory II. Which model. If you follow the historical trajectory, by 1987, the Dutch DAF Motor Company will acquire the Leyland truck business, and then sell it to the American Paka Motor Company. Parker Motors is the largest truck company in the United States and second in the world. As for the bus manufacturing department, it was later split from the group and acquired by Regal Depot. Having said that, if Xia Yu can acquire Leland Automobile Group, his automobile empire will expand rapidly. By then, there will be car factories and brands in the fields of supercars, luxury cars, commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles, trucks, buses, etc., and the brand library will be enriched at once, and the heritage will be increased several times. If you are more greedy, with Leyland Motor Group being the largest shareholder of Jaguar Motors, it will acquire the largest car company in the UK, and the status of the British auto industry will be unshakable! The only ones left outside with a bit of strength are Lotus and Aston Martin. However, both of these are supercar companies. Although they are famous, their output is small, and they are often on the verge of bankruptcy. There is no threat! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 751: Improve the automotive industry chain The three most important parts of a car are undoubtedly the engine, gearbox and car chassis. As long as there is a problem with any of these three, then the car will face an overhaul. Among them, Rolls-Royce Motor Company itself is the UK''s top engine manufacturer, and some of its technologies are aero engine technologies. If the Leyland Motor Group can be acquired again, the engine technology will be more complete and it will be able to integrate almost all cutting-edge technologies in the field of British automotive engines. As far as the engine is concerned, it will be able to compete with any car company in the world. Then there is the car chassis. Leyland Motor Group is the best automobile chassis manufacturing company in the UK. If it is acquired, combined with Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s own strength in chassis, it will be the first in the UK and the world''s first class! So logically speaking, the next step should be to acquire gearbox-related companies. Unfortunately, there is no well-known gearbox manufacturer in the UK. Now Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and even British car manufacturers, almost all own ZF or Dogtrac transmissions. But for these two companies, it is extremely difficult for them to acquire or acquire shares for now! Under this circumstance, the best way is to choose another company that has the potential to produce gearboxes and train them. Rudolf Brooke could not choose in the UK, so he expanded the scope of selection to the member states of the Commonwealth, and Canada''s Magna International appeared in his sight. The appearance of this company surprised Xia Yu again, because although Magna International was still weak at this time, its annual turnover just exceeded 100 million Canadian dollars last year, and it only has a little influence in the transmission field, but it cannot cover it. The future is brilliant! Before Xia Yu¡¯s rebirth, Magna International was already the world¡¯s third-largest auto parts manufacturer with an annual turnover of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. It was only under the German Bosch company and Dasakuni Denso, and ranked second. The gap between Denso''s companies is only two billion US dollars. At that time, Magna''s seven-speed transverse dual-clutch transmission brand was the sixth brand in the world. Not only that, Magna International has strong strengths in the fields of interior systems, seat systems, locking systems, metal body and chassis systems, and mirror systems. The parts produced cover almost all the required parts of the car. In line with its status as the world''s third auto parts manufacturer. As long as we seize Magna International and train it carefully, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars can confidently follow Volkswagen and Toyota. After all, Volkswagen is the majority shareholder of Bosch, and Toyota is the largest shareholder of the island¡¯s Denso Corporation. If Rolls-Royce Motor Company does not rely on a world-class auto parts manufacturer, it is easy to get stuck and compete. It''s hard to get angry. Now the world-class auto parts manufacturers are almost all occupied by the world''s major car companies. It is already difficult for Rolls-Royce Motor Company to get involved. The acquisition of Magna International is undoubtedly the best and most secure The choice is more secure than research and development by yourself! "Don''t think about it, this company has to buy over what it says!" A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. Both goals surprised him, so Xia Yu raised an expectation in his heart for the third acquisition target. With anticipation, he continued to look down. TIAutomotive! Bondi Piping System Co., Ltd.! Also called TI Automotive Systems! The English name in the front was written on the file, but after seeing it, Xia Yu automatically came up with the Chinese translation in his mind. The corners of his mouth suddenly rose. Xia Yu knows this company well, and there is no need to look down. The information in his mind is enough to make him determined to acquire it. This company is really awesome! It is a global company that provides specialized small-diameter pipeline systems and fuel delivery and storage systems for automobiles and other industries in the world. In the history of the automotive industry for nearly a century, TI Automotive Systems has been an industry leader in the production of innovative fluid storage and transmission systems and components. It is also the world''s only supplier of fully integrated fuel storage and delivery systems for cars and trucks. In later generations, about half of the 57 million vehicles in the world''s automobile manufacturing industry each year will rely on TI Automotive Systems'' technologies in braking, fuel, power, transmission systems and air conditioning systems. Among the top 100 best-selling car models in the world, more than 80% of the platforms use TI Automotive Systems'' products and technologies. It would be impossible for such a company to let it go if I saw it! Xia Yu recovered and continued to browse the file. Although TI Automotive Systems was profitable at this time, its annual turnover was only about 100 million pounds, and its revenue was contributed by its three major groups. Respectively, the Fuel System Group accounts for about 35% of the company¡¯s sales, and the Fluid Delivery System Group accounts for 50%. The Industrial Group consists of Warriford, Valbo Engine Management and Bondi Refrigeration, accounting for the remaining 100%. Fifteenth. As for the net profit, it is not clear, because TI Automotive Systems is not a listed company and has not disclosed its financial report. But even if it is calculated on the basis of a net profit of 20 million pounds, Xia Yu does not believe that 200 million pounds cannot be smashed! Maybe 200 million pounds are not needed! After all, it is difficult to say whether TI Automotive Systems has a net profit of 20 million yuan! After reading the document, Xia Yu put it down, ignoring the look in Rudolph Brooke''s expectation, but closed his eyes and meditated. These three goals are not very easy to acquire. Both TI Automotive Systems and Canada''s Magna International are operating companies that have not yet been listed. The best way is to spend money. But I just don''t know what their appetite is! As for Leland Automobile Group, although it is a state-owned enterprise, Xia Yu is more confident to take it. After all, the jewels of Rolls-Royce Motor Company are in front! In terms of importance, Rolls-Royce is definitely more important than Leyland Motor Group, because the former was previously owned by the British Defense Equipment Group or a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce Group and involved secret aero engine technology. . But even so important, it was still acquired by Xia Yu. Moreover, Xia Yu was brought out of the quagmire in less than a year and became a rising star in the British auto industry. This is the best reason to persuade! Leland Automobile Group is still in the quagmire of losses. Xia Yu can use the current results as a reason to persuade Margaret Thatcher to approve his acquisition proposal calculated in Xia Yu''s mind. In the event that he himself or Duke Carter Howard comes forward, the probability of success is at least 80% or more! But if Rudolph Brook or George Berkeley come forward, the odds of winning are unknown! "It seems that the plan is about to change again, and we have to stay in the UK for a few more days." Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and praised Rudolph Brooke: "Rudolph, I have seen your plan. It is a very good plan. It''s a good job!" "Thank you boss for approval!" Rudolf Brooke smiled and thanked him, feeling that the hard work he put in to make this plan was worth it. Xia Yu stared straight at Rudolph Brooke, and said in a deep voice: "Canada Magna International, you are responsible for the acquisition. I don''t care about the specific process. I only have one request. I will try my best to acquire it, even if Double the price will do!" Rudolf Brooke straightened up immediately and nodded his head: "Okay, I will try my best to buy!" Xia Yu looked a little slow, and said again: "As for TI Automotive Systems and Leland Automobile Group, I will arrange specific acquisitions." "Ok!" "In addition to the acquisition, there is one more thing you need to do right now, and that is to expand the factory to increase the annual production capacity of cars to 500,000 vehicles, and then make every effort to produce two hot new cars!" "And in terms of terminal sales, Rolls-Royce 4S car shops will also increase their opening efforts and expand their sales points to the United States as soon as possible, which is the world''s largest market for automobiles." "Now that the relevant development plan has been made, I will speed up the progress." "Ok!" ps: Ask for a ticket! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 752: Agreed After coming out of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, Xia Yu wondered how to talk to Margaret Thatcher later. "Xia Yu, what are you thinking?" Elena, who was sitting next to Xia Yu, turned her head and asked softly. Xia Yu returned to his senses and smiled indifferently: "When it comes to the acquisition of Leland Automobile Group, I plan to go to Downing Street and talk to Ms. Margaret in person." Elena showed a stunned look and figured out the key, she asked: "Does that need me to tell my dad? He is also a shareholder of the company, and he has a good relationship with Ms. Margaret, if he Come forward, maybe it will be more efficient." Seeing Elena saying this, Xia Yu felt happy, and before she knew it, Elena came to him and took the initiative to consider him. If Duke Carter Howard knows about it, I don''t know if he will turn his face on him. Shaking his head slightly, weeding out the cluttered thoughts, he seriously considered Elena''s suggestion. Duke Carter Howard is also a shareholder of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. After enjoying the results, he naturally assumes the corresponding responsibilities. If he hasn''t done anything, it is easy to cause hidden dangers in the long run. Moreover, although he himself is sure, if Duke Carter Howard can come forward together, he will be more sure and save him time. Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Well, I haven''t seen your father for a long time, so I happened to visit him. Besides, his baby daughter works in our company and never goes home. What can I do? You have to show up too, lest he think I sold his precious daughter." "By the way, Elena, because of this, I plan to stay in the UK for a few more days." Elena was originally shy because of Xia Yu''s ambiguity in front of her, but she was immediately attracted by the words behind Xia Yu. She was not ashamed and asked in surprise, "Really?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, with a touch of tenderness and smile between his brows: "Of course!" Elena was happy in her heart and said with a smile: "That''s great!" ... Norfolk, England. Seeing the huge and magnificent castle covered with snow in front of him, Xia Yu''s heart fluttered. Compared with this castle, his country manor in London is simply a thatched house. "At that time, let George pay more attention. If there is any castle for sale, it must be bought." A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. Anyway, he is already so rich, he should spend some to make himself happy! While Xia Yu was thinking, the car continued to drive towards the gate of the castle. ... "father!" Carter Howard, who was sitting on a luxurious sofa wrapped in furry reindeer fur and reading a newspaper, was awakened by a familiar voice. He followed his reputation and saw Elena, who was wearing a white down jacket and blushing. Duke Carter Howard suddenly smiled, put down the newspaper, got up and walked over, still muttering: "It turns out that it''s my little baby who is back. Dad misses you so much!" "Dad, I miss you too!" Seeing the two cordial greetings from father and daughter, Xia Yu smiled and stood quietly beside him. Ten seconds later, Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and greeted him politely: "Sir Carter, I''m bothering you!" "How can this be an interruption, you are welcome, please sit down!" Duke Carter Howard was kind and said with a smile. "Thank you!" "Tea or coffee?" "Cafe!" Just noticed that there was coffee on the table in front of Duke Carter Howard, so Xia Yu subconsciously said. The servant who had just arrived listened and immediately went to grind and brew coffee in silence. "Elena, you haven''t been here for a long time, how many days do you plan to stay here this time?" "Dad, I haven''t decided yet, let''s see it later." "Well, you have grown up too, I respect your ideas, but you have to know, Dad really misses you, Henry goes to school in London again, most of the time I can''t see you two..." "Sorry Dad..." ... Duke Carter Howard revealed his sincerity in front of him, an outsider, which really surprised Xia Yu. But thinking about the evaluation of Duke Carter Howard, saying that he is an alternative among the nobility, a nobleman full of romantic feelings, Xia Yu suddenly understood. Perhaps in Duke Carter Howard''s conception, he doesn''t care about this kind of outside view. Xia Yu silently looked at the surrounding decoration and layout. It has to be said that this castle fully reflects the heritage and cultural depth of a ducal family. There are various exquisite sculptures on the roof and surrounding walls. There are also paintings on the walls. Exquisite porcelain and small pieces are placed on the closets. Sculpture, the surrounding pillars are wrapped with unique patterns, a huge crystal chandelier hangs on the roof, and purple agate is inlaid in colored glass. Everywhere is exquisite and full of charm. Being here is like returning to the Middle Ages, which is completely different from the modern city. "Sir, your coffee!" Just as Xia Yu was looking at the decorations with interest, the servant brought a cup of coffee to Xia Yu and woke him up. Xia Yu responded with a smile: "Thank you!" "You''re welcome!" At this time, it seemed that she felt embarrassed to sit Xia Yu alone, Elena provoked the topic and said in a conspicuous tone: "Dad, now Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s turnover is about to break through. One hundred and fifty million pounds." Duke Carter Howard''s brows trembled. He really didn''t know this data. He also paid special attention to the new car in the first few days of the launch in early January. Unexpectedly, the sales volume was almost 150 million pounds in just over a month! Thinking of the entire acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars before, it only cost 120 million pounds, and he only paid 24 million pounds. Even if we add 10 million pounds from the joint capital injection, the cumulative amount is still Just 34 million pounds. But now with sales of 150 million pounds, according to current trends, annual sales exceeding one billion pounds is not a problem. And as a high-end and top luxury car, the brand premium is very high, so the net profit margin is much higher than that of ordinary car companies! The reason why there is today''s results is entirely because of Xia Yu. Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu and said with a sigh: "Mr. Xia, Rolls-Royce Motor Company has the achievements it has today. It is entirely your credit." Xia Yu humbly shook his head and smiled: "No, Sir Carter, without you, the Rolls-Royce Motor Company would never have achieved what it is today, because it would still be under the Rolls-Royce Group." Carter Howard was taken aback, then laughed. "Your answer is very unique..." Xia Yu shrugged and said, "But that''s the truth, isn''t it?" Carter Howard smiled and said, "Maybe..." After laughing, Xia Yu looked straight and stated: "Sir Carter, I went to Rolls-Royce Motor Company yesterday and Rudolf Brook made an acquisition plan. I''ll show it to you." With that, Xia Yu took out the plan made by Rudolph Brooke yesterday from his bag and handed it to Carter Howard. The latter was a little surprised, and silently accepted the plan, and read it quietly. Xia Yu picked up the coffee and tasted it slowly. With Carter Howard''s wit, after reading the plan, he guessed Xia Yu''s intention. But what he has to admit is that this plan is very tempting and operational. Originally, Carter Howard didn''t pay much attention to Rolls-Royce Motor Company''s investment. The main reason was to pay back Xia Yu''s kindness. By the way, he participated in a stock and let his daughter Elena experience it. Who knows that Xia Yu turned things around and turned Rolls-Royce Motor Cars into treasure. Now he looks like a rising auto giant. At this time, his 20% equity is worth money, and his mentality has also changed. If managed well, the Rolls-Royce Motor Company will develop into a world-class giant, even if it is only 20% of the equity, it can more than double the assets of the Howard family. Maybe it can be worth more than Lloyds Bank''s equity! Thinking of this, he didn¡¯t plan to go around with Xia Yu, and proactively said: ¡°Mr. Xia, I think I can help with the acquisition of Leland Automobile Group, and I have some friendship with William Lyons, which can convince him to Equity transfer." Leland Motor Group is only the largest shareholder of Jaguar Motors, and the second largest shareholder is the founder Sir William Lyons. Although Jaguar Motors is listed separately, Sir William Lyons is absolutely incapable of completing the acquisition. Hom. Duke Carter Howard''s ostentation made Xia Yu feel good He smiled and said, "Thank you Sir." Xia Yu continued: "Do you think we need to have a face-to-face meeting with Ms. Margaret in order to be more efficient?" Duke Carter Howard glanced at Xia Yu and knew that Xia Yu had an idea, so he nodded and asked, "This is the best way. When are you going to go?" "I can get ready in these two days, don''t know if you are free?" "I''m free these days, anytime I can." After the agreement was reached, Xia Yu asked again: "Then, there is one more question. The implementation of this plan will require a large amount of funds. My initial idea is to obtain a loan from the bank. What do you think?" Before he came, he thought about how to speak, whether it was a capital injection acquisition or a loan acquisition, after much deliberation or a loan acquisition. Although he is not bad for money, he does not need to invest money here. He can invest in the United Kingdom separately to increase the value. Furthermore, once capital injection is mentioned, what if Duke Carter Howard suddenly feels that his previous equity is too small and wants to expand his equity? It will be a nuisance then. Whether it is rejection or acceptance, it will be him who will lose. As for another possibility of Duke Carter Howard giving up capital injection, as long as he is not stupid, he will never give up capital injection when the future of Rolls-Royce Motor Company is bright. Duke Carter Howard nodded and agreed: "No problem. With the current situation of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, I believe that any bank will be willing to relax. I happen to be the director of Lloyds Bank. Let me tell them about the loan. No problem." "Then trouble you!" ...

However, since the position of the First Chancellor of the Exchequer was also the prime minister, No. 10 Downing Street has become the first official residence of the UK. No. 10 Downing Street, whether it is close to Parliament, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Buckingham officials, as the British Prime Minister, I will meet people from all walks of life and important figures from all over the world. This time, Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard came to this place together and met Margaret Thatcher in the reception hall. "Ms. Margaret, hello!" "Sir Carter, Mr. Xia, how are you!" Maybe it was Duke Carter Howard among the people who visited, so Margaret Thatcher was very friendly and warm. After the two sides exchanged greetings, they took their seats one after another. Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard looked at each other, the latter coughed slightly, attracted Margaret Thatcher¡¯s sight, and said aloud: ¡°Ms. Margaret, I¡¯m here to disturb you this time. There is one thing I want to get your support." Margaret Thatcher narrowed her smile, looked at Carter Howard calmly, nodded slightly and said, "Please say!" Duke Carter Howard smiled slowly, and said slowly: ¡°I don¡¯t know if you know, now the Rolls-Royce Motor Company has re-emerged. Since January, it has sold more than 2,000 cars with a turnover of more than one. Fifty million pounds." Margaret Thatcher really didn¡¯t know about it. She looked surprised, looked at Xia Yu, then returned her gaze to Duke Carter Howard, and asked in surprise: "Sir Carter, you Is it true? That''s great. There are many workers who have stable jobs. These families should thank you." Duke Carter Howard smiled and shook his head and explained: "No, it was Mr. Xia who actually did all of this. It was under his reform that Rolls-Royce Motor Company was revitalized." Margaret Thatcher did not expect that Duke Carter Howard would answer this way. He looked at Xia Yu in surprise and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, I thank you on behalf of the British people and thank you for your contribution to Britain. Contribution." Xia Yuqiang resisted Ge Ying, and said modestly: "Ms. Margaret, you can just say that. I am also a British citizen. This is what I should do, right?" Margaret Thatcher was taken aback, and then said apologetically: "I''m sorry, please forgive my mistakes, but your contribution is indelible." Xia Yudan smiled and pointedly said: "Ms. Margaret, I am honored to be able to contribute to the people. If I have the opportunity, I hope I can do more for the government and the people." Margaret Thatcher''s heart shuddered, the secret path came right away, her smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said, "Thank you for your effort!" At this time, according to the discussions on the car at the time of arrival, Duke Carter Howard once again said: "Ms. Margaret, although Rolls-Royce Motor Company has re-emerged, it is compared with Volkswagen, BMW, Ford and other companies. , Is still very weak and does not have the strength to compete directly with them. In order to cope with the ubiquitous competition, we intend to strengthen the Rolls-Royce Motor Company as soon as possible." "It can also solve the burden for the government and make greater contributions to the people." "We intend to acquire Leland Automobile Group and hope to obtain government approval." As soon as he said this, the smile on Margaret Thatcher''s face completely disappeared, her brows frowned, and a completely embarrassed expression. But who was not a fox, Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard stared at him quietly, waiting for her answer. "Leyland Automobile Group? I don''t know this company that much..." Margaret Thatcher said with some regret, as if she wanted to temporarily shirk the matter and put the matter on hold. She is a prudent person, never expressing her attitude casually without understanding the situation, just like now. But Xia Yu and the others were prepared. He immediately took out a document and put it on the desktop, pushed it in front of Margaret Thatcher, made a gesture of please, and said with a faint smile: "Margaret Thatcher Madam, this is all the information of Leland Automobile Group, you might as well take a look." (¡Ño¡Ñ)... "Okay! Please wait a moment!" Reluctantly, Margaret Thatcher picked up the file and read it quietly. For a long time, she put down the documents, looked up again, looked at the two with some embarrassment, and said: "I understand the situation. If Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquires Leland Motor Group, there will be suspicion of monopoly. It may not pass, even if it passes, there will be trouble." In fact, Margaret Thatcher''s worries are not unreasonable! There are particularly many car factories in the UK, but in the past few decades, they have merged one after another, and there are not many left. When Rolls-Royce Motors was still in decline, it can be said that the only profitable company was Jaguar Motors. Jaguar Motors was also the company with the highest car sales in the UK. Now Rolls-Royce Motors has re-emerged, and has surpassed Jaguar Motors, seeing the annual turnover will also exceed. If Rolls-Royce Motor Cars merges with Leland Motor Group, then other British automakers will almost lose their competitiveness, and there is absolutely suspicion of monopoly. But can you give up because of this possibility? Absolutely impossible! And Xia Yu had a solution long ago! He will do something later! Therefore, Xia Yu did not change his face, and confidently said: "Ms. Margaret, even if Leland Group is acquired, there are still Aston Martin, McLaren and Lotus automakers, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will not Create a monopoly." "And if you take a closer look, you will find that the British car market has almost become a dumping ground for island cars and American cars. In this case, if the major car manufacturers in the UK do not unite, they will not even be able to protect their face!" Xia Yu''s words came to Margaret Thatcher''s pain, her face was a little gloomy. Now that the offensive has been launched, it must be done in one go. Xia Yu continued: "And now Leland Automobile Group has been losing money, and the government has to spend hundreds of millions of pounds to fill it up. If this money is used to improve people''s livelihood, it will make the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens better." "If the Leyland Motor Group is acquired by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, we are confident that it will rejuvenate and create generous tax revenue for the UK, just like Rolls-Royce Motor Cars." "Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has already had a turnover of 150 million pounds in just over a month. When the Geneva Motor Show opens in March, the sales of Rolls-Royce''s two new cars will increase sharply. The company''s turnover this year It is possible to exceed 1.5 billion pounds, which will contribute five or six billion in tax revenue to the government." "If the Leyland Automobile Group is acquired, the profits and taxes generated will only be higher, and the government will lose one burden." Seeing Margaret Thatcher''s face in thought, and even a little ready to move, Xia Yu paused, and then said: "The automotive industry has always been the pride of Britain, but now in the world, when it comes to cars, people only think of It¡¯s American cars, German cars, and island cars. How many people can remember British cars?" "As a big country, the United Kingdom needs a facade in the automotive field. The strengths of the world''s major auto giants are all-round. Although the two new cars launched by Rolls-Royce Motor Company are very popular, this advantage is only temporary. The crisis still exists. The Rolls-Royce Motor Company urgently needs to improve its overall competitiveness in order to be able and confident to step out of the UK and become a world-class automotive giant, competing fiercely with Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota!" "Ms. Margaret, you are a wise leader. You have been trying to lead the re-emergence of the British economy. I hope you will consider our proposal." After speaking, Xia Yu kept silent and drank tea quietly. He has said everything that should be said, and his reasons are sufficient. If Margaret Thatcher still disagrees with these reasons, then he has to doubt the latter''s determination in economic reform. Duke Carter Howard gave Xia Yu an admiring look, and then slowly said: "Ms. Margaret, Mr. Xia¡¯s views are consistent with mine. Although the British auto industry is still developed, almost all profits are made by foreign auto companies. Go, we are contributing to other countries, now is the time to take back what we lost!" After a long time, Margaret Thatcher calmed down, nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, and I also hope that the British auto industry will get back its own glory." As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard suddenly smiled. This is done! As for the Prime Minister¡¯s approval, will you object to it? Xia Yu is not worried at all. After all, no one will be evil to the three parties at the same time. Even the Labor Party and the Liberal Party will not do such stupid things unless they want to have two more powerful enemies in the next general election. . "Ms. Margaret, maybe tomorrow Rolls-Royce Motor Company will initiate an acquisition of Leland Motor Group." Xia Yu said aloud. Margaret Thatcher nodded slightly and said, "I see." The matter had been negotiated, and after a few words of greeting, Xia Yu and others said goodbye. On the way back, Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard rode in the same car. Xia Yu smiled and said politely: "Sir Carter, thanks to you this time." Duke Carter Howard said with a smile: "No, it''s your reason that made Margaret heart. If it was me, I would not refuse." "Although Rolls-Royce Motor Company only sold 120 million pounds when it was sold to us, the government will be the biggest beneficiary if it can generate 5.6 billion pounds in taxes this year." Xia Yu smiled and said: "It should not be difficult for a turnover of more than 1.5 billion pounds. As long as the Geneva Motor Show opens, it will be time for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to break out." Duke Carter Howard was immediately happy, and couldn''t help laughing: "Hahaha..." "By the way, Sir, the privatization of Jaguar and the acquisition of TI Automotive Systems also need your help." "No problem. William Lyons has given his life to Jaguar. Although he has retired, he has always worried about Jaguar''s future. His son is not interested in running a car company. He has no reason to refuse the results." "As for the acquisition of TI Automotive Systems, if you encounter difficulties, let Rudolph Brooker come to me at any time." "Ok." PS: Ask for tickets and book all! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 754: Pack 4 supercar companies After returning, Xia Yu and Elena spent a day in London in a good mood, and did not go back until the evening. On this day, the Tower Bridge, Greenwich Observatory, British Museum, Westminster Abbey and other places left the laughter of Xia Yu and Elena. The unrestrained laughter and play make the relationship between the two people closer. However, the happy time is always short. Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to the Bright Fund again and found George Berkeley. He had some things for him to implement. This matter is very important. It is related to his layout in the automotive field and what Margaret Thatcher said yesterday about the resolution of the suspected monopoly of Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Office of the owner of the Bright Fund. Xia Yu called to George Berkeley, who was busy buying two banks. Looking at George Berkeley, who was waiting for him to give orders, Xia Yu looked solemnly and said: "George, I have one thing you need to do. You arrange the right people to form the acquisition team and give me Aston Martin and McKay The three automakers, Lun and Lotus, were acquired." Good guy, Xia Yu didn''t speak, and George Berkeley was astonished when he spoke. He blinked and found that Xia Yu''s face was serious, not like a joke at all. He hesitated for a moment and said euphemistically: "Boss, now is acquiring Leyland Automobile Group. If we also acquire Aston Martin, McLaren and Lotus Motors, then we will most likely face Antitrust investigation." In fact, it is not very possible, but it will definitely happen, but it is sooner or later. Once someone offends someone, this is an extremely obvious handle. Let anyone move on the bright side. Xia Yu smiled. He knew that George Berkeley was wrong, and blamed him for not expressing it clearly. He smiled and said: "George, I am only entrusting the Guangming Fund to make the acquisition. After these three automakers are acquired, they will not be merged into Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, but will be transferred to another auto company. Didn¡¯t you hear about that company? It was called Tiangong Automobile Group." That''s right, Xia Yu intends to give the British auto industry a pot! Smart people, never put eggs in a basket. As long as Rolls-Royce Motor Company merges with Leland Motor Group, the future will certainly be bright. But as Margaret Thatcher said, there is a suspicion of monopoly. Especially under his golden fingers, Rolls-Royce Motor Company will get better and better, and the market share it will occupy at that time will become larger and larger. At that time, the suspicion of monopoly will be greater and even more eye-catching. The anti-monopoly stick has always been a weapon commonly used by robbers, and Xia Yu is clear about this. The previous life of Microsoft was awesome, but the alligators on Wall Street were jealous. Bill Gates just didn''t want to vomit. The alligators on Wall Street seized the opportunity and directly offered the monopoly stick. In the end, Bill Gates compromised. Earlier was the original world oil giant Standard Oil Company. At that time, although the Rockefeller family was already the top family in the United States, there were not a few big men of equal or lesser strength. Under the joint attack, the Rockefeller family was also unable to resist. Standard Oil Company Was dismembered into 37 oil companies. Having said that, it is harder to expect Aston Martin, McLaren, and Lotus Motors to be self-reliant and to rise up under the attack of the open Rolls-Royce Motor Company and other international auto giants. Of these car factories, one is still very weak, and the other two are in the quagmire of losses. For example, Lotus Motors, also known as Lotus Motors, was bought by General Motors of the United States in 1986. In 1993, it was dumped by General Motors for 30 million pounds. In 1996, it was sold to Malaysia. Proton Motor Company. What about Aston Martin? It was also bought by Ford in 1987. As for the McLaren car factory, although it has not been acquired, it is also the youngest. It was established in 1966 and has only been 14 years old. At this time, it has also become famous in Formula One cars and sports cars, and has not yet entered the volume. In the production stage, revenue is worrying. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of Rolls-Royce Motors being anti-monopoly, the best way is to create a threatening opponent. It is impossible to expect them to be self-reliant, so he will have to do it himself, buy these car factories, and open up a list for explosive rise. Put it under the name of Tiangong Automobile Group, although he is actually behind him, but it is fair to say, this is no problem. In addition, there is a very important reason for Tiangong Automobile Group to acquire these automakers. That is, Tiangong Automobile Group needs advanced and sophisticated automobile manufacturing technology! For the car factory in Indonesia, the little devil''s own technology is not good enough, and the technology it produces is outdated. If Tiangong Automobile Group wants to take off, technology is the key. Without technology, it will be difficult to enter the mainland in the future, let alone grab business in the world! Rolls-Royce Motor Company is destined to be unable to move away from the UK, and only Tiangong Automobile Group can take root in the mainland. Therefore, the technical shortcomings of Tiangong Automobile Group must be compensated. After all, Rolls-Royce Motor Company is not solely owned by Xia Yu, and the technology cannot be handed over to Tiangong Automobile Group. The latter can only find ways to accumulate it. As we all know, the best automobile manufacturing technology has always been in the supercar company. The sports car has the highest technical content and uses the latest and most cutting-edge technology. Needless to say, McLaren, created by top racing driver Bruce McLaren, who specializes in Formula One cars, and also manufactures supercars. The McLaren F1 sports car produced in 1990 can accelerate from a standstill to within 3.2 seconds. 100km/h, the top speed exceeded 386km/h! This record has been maintained for fifteen years! Therefore, one can imagine McLaren''s technological development potential! Aston Martin, known as the Rolls-Royce of sports cars, is also a racing driver. The company operates racing cars, supercars and convertible wagons. The technology is undoubted. After the later generations were wholly acquired by Ford, Ford Provides a lot of technology. Lotus Motors is also a world-renowned manufacturer of racing cars and sports cars, and the Lotus team is still active in the Formula One (f1) racing field. These three are all supercar and racing car manufacturers, and each has unique technologies. If acquired, all the technologies will be absorbed by Tiangong Automobile Group, which will accumulate a solid technical background for Tiangong Automobile Group. Later, if you want to manufacture commercial vehicles, the difficulty will be greatly reduced! Not to mention the brand value of these three supercar companies. Now that they are acquired, they will definitely make no loss! By 1993, the loss-making Lotus car was sold by General Motors at a low price of three thousand five pounds. At the current price, it was worth 15 million dollars. ... Hearing Xia Yu''s explanation, George Berkeley breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the boss didn''t faint. As for the Tiangong Automobile Group that suddenly appeared, he was not interested. George Berkeley didn''t care if the British auto industry was swallowed by outsiders like the boss. He nodded and said, "Boss, I will immediately set up an acquisition team and try my best to acquire these three automakers." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Well! Work harder!" George Berkeley just wanted to say it was okay and I went first, when a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind. It seems that the boss has a special liking for the auto industry, the boss should be interested in this news! His eyes lit up, and he said to Xia Yu: "Boss, I have a message here. I wonder if you are not interested?" Xia Yu raised his brows, a trace of curiosity rose in his heart, and asked: "What news? Come and listen!" George Berkeley said: "It''s about Automobili Lamborghini in Italy. I got the news. Now Automobili Lamborghini is in bankruptcy. I guess I can''t escape this time." Because his boss is interested in the auto industry, his subordinates are also relatively concerned about information in this area. Just a few days ago, his subordinates mentioned this news to him. At this time, seeing his boss planning to pack up a British car company, he finally remembered it. It turned out to be a Lamborghini? Xia Yu was a little surprised, and then he thought about it for a moment. In his memory, Lamborghini seemed to have gone bankrupt in 1980 and changed hands many times afterwards. Xia Yu asked: "George, do you know why Lamborghini is about to go bankrupt?" George Berkeley immediately got up and said: "Boss, wait a moment, my office has an investigation report submitted below. I will show it to you." "Go!" After a while, George Berkeley returned again and gave Xia Yu the report given to him by his subordinates the other day. After reading through it, Xia Yu finally knew the detailed reason. Later generations, the "two kings and one queen" of the Italian auto industry were very well-known, namely Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. But Ferrari is gaining momentum in this era, and Lamborghini and Maserati have not yet become famous. Automobili Lamborghini was founded in 1963, and it has only been seventeen years. It is still underage in human beings, which is incomparable with those century-old car companies. Moreover, Lamborghini''s designers have a clear mind, and the models they designed simply subvert people''s three views, and are called "ghosts" by consumers. Therefore, the sales of Lamborghini''s hard-to-launch models are not good. The founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, constantly seeks financial support to support the operations of Auto Lamborghini. But every time there are no results, the investors'' money is not sloppy, and Ferruccio Lamborghini can never borrow money again. The development of new models stalled, and the buried bomb was finally ignited. Automobili Lamborghini is on the verge of bankruptcy. If no financial support is found, the situation will only get worse day by day. Now Ferruccio Lamborghini is helpless, and the media has concluded that Automobili Lamborghini is about to go bankrupt. What is not written in the report is that if following the normal trajectory, Automobili Lamborghini will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy on February 28, which is more than ten days. Later, it will be acquired by Milan Brothers from Switzerland. But that''s just the original track was seen by Xia Yu at this time. He has a collection habit and is not bad for money, so naturally there is no reason to give up such a good opportunity. As long as the acquisition of Automobili Lamborghini, Tiangong Automobile Group''s supercar camp is more luxurious, and the company has a stronger technical background, and it can also enter the Italian car market by the way. The price is not high, what a good thing! If this kind of opportunity slips away, it will be too much for God! Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately decided to buy. He told George Berkeley: ¡°George, I want to take Lamborghini Auto Company. You send someone to watch. As long as Lamborghini Auto Company goes bankrupt, you will immediately initiate an acquisition of it. People are ahead!" George Berkeley immediately promised: "Okay, I remember it!" ps: Please subscribe and ask for votes! Still looking for \"Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero\" free novel? Baidu direct search: \"\"It''s easy to read novels! (=) v3 Chapter 755: Fishing with Reagan In the next few days, apart from playing with Elena, Xia Yu spent almost all his time on the Chinese business consortium. After all, he hasn''t been here for a few months, so he should show up and show his presence. During the period, Wu Hongyi also specially showed him last year''s financial report of Huashang Bank and its operation for more than a month since this year. The data is very brilliant, mainly in the speculation of gold futures and USD/GBP. Huashang Bank was full of oil. The strength has expanded greatly. After that, Xia Yu boarded the plane to New York in the eyes of Elena. The plane crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and Xia Yu arrived in New York eight hours later. When Xia Yu arrived, Rey Dario was already waiting at the airport. Under his leadership, Xia Yu checked into the Hilton Garden Inn Manhattan downtown. Early the next morning, Xia Yu got into work, brought Li Wuming and others, bought a bunch of financial newspapers, and stepped into the New York Stock Exchange at 18 Broadway in New York. As a person who started by relying on finance and is also familiar with the power of financial sticks, he thought that Xia Yu would subconsciously look for financial-related information if he hadn''t been there. In New York, no place can meet his needs better than the New York Stock Exchange. Seeing the crowded and busy scene, Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with memories, and scenes of information about the NYSE flashed across his mind quickly. Looking at the appearance of Xia Yu, Li Wuming, who was on guard, was no longer surprised. He knew that at this time, Xia Yu was thinking, and accordingly, he would be more vigilant again. After a long time, Xia Yu shook his head slightly to return to his senses, and began to devote himself to understanding the information. For the next five or six days, Xia Yu repeated this seemingly boring behavior of outsiders, and more and more information entered his mind, which also stimulated his memory to burst out more valuable messages. At night, Xia Yu learned about information outside of finance. While Xia Yu was in New York, a company that used extremely complicated methods to hide offshore was established in San Francisco in the western United States. Polaris Capital! This company will be Xia Yu''s other bright tentacles reaching the United States, although he only accounts for 3% of the shares. As for Julian Robertson''s Tiger Fund and the Bridgewater Fund controlled by Rey Dario, Xia Yu did not want to show his relationship. Polaris Capital will complete its layout in the three fields of high technology, biomedicine and energy! However, the hunting target is still under investigation and screening, and will not move so fast for the time being. Before that, he still has one more important thing to do. The completion of this thing will affect his foundation in the United States in the next few years. Ten days after Xia Yu arrived in New York, he finally waited for the news he wanted. "It turned out to be in Washington, and I was still fishing there. The heart is big enough! If you didn''t know his achievements, he would really be fooled!" In the presidential suite of the Hilton Garden Inn, Xia Yu put down the message in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself. It is now the end of February, and the preliminaries for the new US presidential election have begun in New Hampshire. This year is the election year in the United States, and a new president will be elected this year. The presidential election process in the United States is long and complicated. It mainly includes preliminary elections, presidential nomination, election campaigns, national elections, electoral college voting, and the inauguration ceremony of the elected president. Among them, the pre-selection stage has the longest time span, reaching more than four months, starting from the third Tuesday in February and ending at the end of June. In this process, the two major political parties of the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, will select representatives for their party¡¯s national conventions in most states of the country; in a few states that do not hold pre-elections, the two parties¡¯ state committees or conventions will select representatives. . Of course, because New Hampshire took the lead in the pre-election, the results of the election had a great impact on other states, so the smell of gunpowder in New Hampshire has quickly spread. On the contrary, other states are watching, and aspiring people from the Democrats and Republicans are also looking for resources to add a glimmer of hope for their goals. Xia Yu knows that Ronald Wilson Reagan will come to power this term, and finally kill the current President Jimmy Carter by an overwhelming advantage. I just didn''t expect Reagan to have leisure time fishing. A weird idea emerged in Xia Yu''s mind. Didn''t Reagan have seen China''s "Feng Shen Bang"? Want to catch a few big fish to support him? Xia Yu smiled, dangled this funny idea, packed up his things, and left for Washington. I don¡¯t know if Reagan liked him or not! ... Lake Chelan, this is the longest and largest natural lake in Washington State. It has a very narrow shore, 55 miles long, and was formed by flooding in a valley created by a glacier. The Lake Chelan National Recreation Area in the Stichkin area at the northern end of Lake Chelan is a great place for hiking and water entertainment. On this day, three jeeps drove into the fishing area of ??Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and parked in the parking lot by the lake. Xia Yu and his party got out of the car, and the bodyguards were guarding him with fishing gear. Xia Yu wears a cap and sportswear. But the big guys with cold faces around him attracted the attention of people around him. No way, most of the people who come here are middle-class, and the better ones are senior white-collar workers, but it is really rare to have a high profile like Xia Yu with a lot of bodyguards. But what Xia Yu wants is this kind of effect, how can he attract Reagan''s attention if not? Looking vaguely, Xia Yu saw Reagan''s figure, who was sitting on the fishing box, quietly looking at the buoy on the lake. It happened that there was an open space beside him. Xia Yu pretended to randomly choose a position next to him, skillfully opened the fishing box, took out the fishing gear and began to fiddle. Such a large group of people followed Xia Yu and was still next to him. It was hard not to attract Reagan''s attention. He looked at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu also raised his head to look at him, and showed a kind smile. Reagan was taken aback, then smiled and nodded in response. After assembling the fishing rod and testing the water level, Xia Yu threw the bait out. At this time, the water system of the United States is not the world of Asian carp. These creatures that boost the morale of Asia are still in various aquaculture farms and fish ponds in the United States, and they are almost invisible in lakes like Lake Chelan. The bait used by Xia Yu is lake whitefish. Lake whitefish is also called whitefish. It is a common freshwater fish species in North America with delicious meat. Perhaps Xia Yu was lucky. In less than 20 minutes, he even got three mouths, each weighing five or six catties. Xia Yu was very enjoyable. Xia Yu''s catch made Reagan a little surprised next to him. He also wanted to understand Xia Yu''s background, so he admired: "Sir, your skills are awesome." This was in Xia Yu''s arms. He smiled and said, "Thank you, it should be my luck today. Normally I can''t catch a few fish in a day." "How is your harvest?" With that, Xia Yu put down the fishing rod and walked over, wanting to see Reagan''s fish guard. When the angler pretends to be forced, isn''t it when he shows his catch? No matter what Xia Yu''s identity is, at least the two are now anglers. Therefore, Reagan pretended to be modest and said not much, but generously took the initiative to bring up Yuhu. Suddenly, water splashed all over, and there were a large number of black-backed whitefish in the fish guard, including a pike, which surprised Xia Yu. Reagan''s fishing skills are not bad, no wonder he still came here to fish at this juncture. Xia Yu made a few words of admiration at the right time, which made Reagan smile, but the latter also humbly said that he had good luck after chatting a few words, the relationship between the two gradually became acquainted, and they also told each other their names. Reagan asked inadvertently: "Mr. Xia, I often come here to fish and cultivate immortals. I have never seen you before. Is this your first time here?" Xia Yu closed the line and said casually: "Yes, this time I came to Washington to see the newly acquired company. I just wanted to relax, so I came here." Reagan raised his brows and asked, "Oh? Mr. Xia, do you still have a company in Washington? Can I know which one it is?" Xia Yu smiled faintly and said naturally: "It''s not a big company, it''s the "Washington Star". I am more interested in the media, so I bought a few newspapers to try." ps: Fishing, fishing, get Reagan up, ask for the full ticket! Still looking for \"Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero\" free novel? Baidu direct search: \"\"It''s easy to read novels! (=) v3 Chapter 756: Give charcoal in the snow and media foundation Reagan''s eyes narrowed, and several thoughts flashed in his mind. He looked at Xia Yu with a surprised look and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, you are very humble. If the Washington Star is not a big company, then there are tens of thousands of newspapers in the United States, and not many are qualified!" Xia Yu smiled and said casually: "It may be considered to be in the whole country, but in my opinion, the "Washington Star" is only the smallest sales of my newspaper, and it is still in a loss now. Reform is underway. If the operation is not good, who knows whether it will go bankrupt?" The smallest family! As for whether a loss is not a loss, this is not in Reagan''s consideration. Xia Yu pretended to reveal information unintentionally, and Reagan noticed it again, and he kept guessing Xia Yu''s identity. The one in front of him does not seem to be lying, so he is a media tycoon. In this special year this year, the importance of the power of the media has risen several levels. If you want to compete for the top position, you must have a media that speaks for him to promote his political views, canvass for him, and at the same time stand up to the dirty water of his competitors. Moreover, Reagan was not a person who had never seen the world. Ordinary media magnates did not bring so many bodyguards like Xia Yu, so it can be inferred that Xia Yu had other big industries besides a few newspapers. . "It seems I was lucky today!" Reagan thought secretly and decided to explore Xia Yu''s bottom line to see if he could seize this opportunity. As for the exchange of interests that will exist later, he doesn''t even think about it. Because he is in this system, he has long understood its essence, rights and money transactions are eternal. If he can succeed, he will naturally give back to the forces behind him. If he fails the election, even if a vice president is picked up in the end, he has no real power, and naturally there is no return. At this time, he has not yet received the support of the Republican Party, so there is not much power behind him. As for the resources in the Republican Party, every point is precious and will only be given to the presidential candidates set by the party. Those who haven''t had it can only use their own momentum to win the support of a certain group of people in the party or from society to make themselves stand out, and then gain the full support of the Republican Party. Therefore, he cherishes every opportunity now, and will do his best to fight for it, and accumulate a little bit for himself. Thinking of this, Reagan''s fishing mind was completely gone, and he continued to chat with Xia Yu. Aware of Reagan''s attitude, Xia Yu didn''t rush, and his attitude became more casual. It seemed that he was really just here for leisure fishing. "Mr. Xia, are you Chinese-American?" "Yes." Xia Yu replied indifferently. That''s right, Xia Yu is indeed an American citizen. This is the work that was already done when planning his trip to the United States last year. He wants to create a large international consortium, and the United States can never get around, so he needs the status of a US citizen. As for his original British nationality, the same exists. In other words, he is a dual nationality person, and this is not a problem, because dual nationality is a universal default method in many countries in the world. More than 70 countries around the world recognize or accept dual nationality, including the United States and the United Kingdom. . (This is true, I didn''t write it randomly) Reagan must be American, so he can continue to talk, otherwise even if he obtains Xia Yu''s support, it will become a bomb and a weakening point for rivals. He continued: "Oh, is it from California? In the United States, there are the most Chinese, and I am the most familiar with it. I know some local Chinese leaders." Hearing Reagan''s words, Xia Yu looked at Reagan, frowned slightly, and looked at him up and down. With a smile on his face, Reagan let Xia Yu look openly. He said that on purpose just now to see if Xia Yu can recognize who he is. If he recognizes it, it will be more convenient to communicate. Reagan''s plan fits Xia Yu''s idea. The two wanted to know each other, the only difference was that Reagan was active and Xia Yu was active and passive. After a few seconds, Xia Yu asked hesitantly: "Mr. Reagan, the more I look at it, the more I feel that you are a little familiar. It seems that I have seen you somewhere. Have you been in California for a long time?" Reagan smiled and nodded, stating: "Yes, I spent a few years in Hollywood, filmed dozens of times in movies, and then entered politics." Xia Yu was taken aback, and then he pretended to be surprised and said: "I remember, you are a well-known character in California, an actor, and then became the governor of California. Am I right?" Reagan smiled, nodded and said: "If there is no one else named Ronald Wilson Reagan, I think you should be me." Xia Yu shrugged pretending to be apologetic and explained: "I''m sorry, Mr. Governor, I am not from California, and I have been to San Francisco several times, so I recognize you now." Reagan shook his head indifferently, and then laughed at himself: "Oh no, Mr. Xia, you don''t have to apologize. I no longer serve as the governor of California after 1975, and I haven''t made movies anymore. After so many years. , Very few people should know me." Xia Yu smiled, and then turned to ask: "By the way, Mr. Reagan, during your stay in California, you made a huge contribution to California¡¯s economy and people¡¯s livelihood. This year happens to be an election year. With your talents, why not go? To run?" Reagan expressed regret and said with a wry smile: "I have thought about it, but I am not confident enough. I have participated in two elections before, but failed in the Republican presidential nomination. I am getting older and I am going to try again. , This time is still in preparation." "Unfortunately, the preparations are not enough, and the campaign team and support are not enough..." After speaking, Reagan looked at Xia Yu and asked: "Mr. Xia, do you support the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?" Xia Yu put down his fishing rod, thought for a while and said: "I think Jimmy Carter is very incompetent and messed up the American economy. Now the domestic inflation in the United States is very serious and it is very detrimental to economic development. From my perspective, I am temporarily lost to the Democratic Party. Confidence, if someone in the Republican Party can work on solving economic problems, I think I will not be stingy with my support." After that, Xia Yu looked at Reagan with interest and asked: "Mr. Reagan, you are the first person I have contacted with the intention to campaign this year. You are also a Republican. We may meet here today, perhaps God arranged. , Can I hear your thoughts?" Reagan waited for Xia Yu''s words. He smiled and promised: "Of course it''s okay, it''s my honor." Next, the chat between the two went deeper and Xia Yu asked from time to time. Reagan seized the opportunity to explain his ideas and express his views on the current American economy. In the process, the relationship between the two became familiar. They are all adults. For the sake of their own interests, they don¡¯t care about their faces. They are even more comfortable in acting. Therefore, they talk and laugh. Outsiders may think they are old friends who have not seen them for many years. As time passed, the sun gradually set. Reagan invited Xia Yu to dinner. In this entertainment area, there are supporting restaurants and hotels, and Reagan directly booked a hotel for a week here. For the next two days, Xia Yu did not leave, and Reagan would naturally not leave, seizing the opportunity to communicate with Xia Yu. As he became more and more familiar, he also knew more about Xia Yu, knowing that in addition to the "Washington Star", Xia Yu also owned "New York Daily News" and "Houston Chronicle". In addition, the arcade machines in the entertainment area were produced by his company, and the Rolls-Royce cars driven by Xia Yu were also produced by his company. Of course, the few words of banks, securities companies, insurance companies, etc. mentioned in Xia Yu''s words made Reagan secretly excited, and his attitude became more enthusiastic. There are financial conglomerates that are also involved in automotive, electronics, media and other fields. Xia Yu''s strength is definitely not small. Although he called the trustee to inquire about the news and has not responded, he has made up his mind to get Xia Yu''s support as much as possible. . Not to mention, if those three newspapers support him, his efforts in the past few days will be far back! On the third day after arriving at Lake Qilan, Xia Yu felt that the heat was almost over, and finally decided to speak up. "Mr. Reagan, you are a very thoughtful person. I think you are qualified to take that position. I decide to invest in you!" In a garden cafe, Xia Yu put down his cup, looked at Reagan with a smile, and said slowly. Reagan lifted his spirits and his smile became obvious. He thanked him: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your approval. I am deeply honored." Xia Yu nodded and accepted Reagan''s gratitude calmly. Icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow! Since Reagan is still before his fortune, then a little investment now will get ten points of benefits. Of course, he plans to spend a lot of money on it, and win more favors from Reagan. And he was not worried that Reagan would not admit the account afterwards, because this is not a simple sentence that can be uncovered by not admitting the account. In the course of this campaign, competitors will understand Reagan¡¯s background and support forces clearly, Reagan Naturally will bring his color. In this process, Xia Yu will also become a close partner of Reagan. He will also be very clear about Reagan¡¯s various details or handles. Reagan will never expose the chain of interests between them, so it is impossible to follow him. Xia Yu turned his face, it was not worth it. Xia Yu narrowed his smile and said solemnly: "Mr. Reagan, I am a very determined person. Since I have decided to support you, I will use my best. I also believe that you are an honest and affectionate person." Hearing this, Reagan was overjoyed and quickly nodded and said: "Of course, honesty is the foundation of everything I do, and I have always cherished and valued my friends. Now everything has not succeeded, but I can guarantee that I Will not disappoint you." Xia Yu smiled, and immediately said: "I have your words in my heart." "Your campaign team needs you to choose and build, but I will do my best to provide you with the funds needed for the campaign and give you the greatest support in public opinion!" "Of course, with regard to economics, I, including my subordinates, are very knowledgeable. If you need help in this area, I think I can help." "As for the difficulties you may encounter in the future, you can come to me, as long as I can do it, there is no problem!" Xia Yu''s promise was not small, and it made Reagan feel full of sincerity. He smiled, nodded, and thanked again and again: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your support, thank you!" After everything was clarified, the relationship between Xia Yu and Reagan became closer, and Reagan did not hide it, and directly explained his current situation to Xia Yu, and then said which aspects need Xia Yu''s support. In terms of funding, it was Reagan''s shortcoming. Xia Yu directly made the promise of the first ten million dollars in funding, and guaranteed that the money would be donated in the name of many companies without leaving any handle. Xia Yu''s great skill shocked Reagan, and he intuitively felt Xia Yu''s strength. Of course he also felt Xia Yu''s sincerity. Then came other support, Xia Yu recorded it all. This talk is one day. Finally, Xia Yu left Reagan with several contact information and addresses. After everything was in order, Xia Yu and Reagan said goodbye and returned to New York. After returning to New York, just to learn that Yan Wenhan had returned from Houston, Xia Yu decided to meet him, order him something, and then go to California. New York, Jiuding Newspaper Company US branch, boss office. Xia Yu asked, "Wenhan, how is the situation of the three newspapers?" Yan Wenhan thought for a while and said: "The New York Daily News and the Houston Chronicle are similar. The two newspapers have been arranged to connect with Jiuding News Agency. If the resources can be reasonably digested, it should be able to achieve certain results." "As for the "Washington Star", I have re-promoted and appointed some elites, and the abolished personnel have been arranged to join the Jiuding News Agency, and there has been no disturbance. Now I have made appropriate adjustments to the newspaper in accordance with your instructions. It will take a while to see the effect." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, that''s fine, let time test the results." He then asked: "When will the satellites of Jiuding News Agency be launched?" Although the cost of launching satellites is high, if Jiuding News Agency wants to stand out, it must use satellites. Only satellites can transmit news information at the fastest speed. To make news, speed is the most important thing! Yan Wenhan said immediately: "It''s coming soon, the order has been queued for two months, and it is expected to launch around March 20." Xia Yu smiled, nodded and said, "That''s good, Jiuding News Agency will continue to expand and strive to have our offices in every city in the United States!" "In addition to these things, you form a company and start a new newspaper. The newspaper is called "USA Today". This is the planning book I made. You should take a closer look and follow the above." With that, Xia Yu took out a planning book and handed it to Yan Wenhan. The planning book of the "USA Today" newspaper was created by Xia Yu in conjunction with the "USA Today" newspaper that has not yet been released and has the highest sales in future generations. If nothing else, the newspaper will be founded by the Gannett Group two years later, and in less than two years, the circulation will exceed two million copies, ranking third in the United States, and in 1986 In 1991, it became the top of all newspapers in the United States and has been in the dominant position for decades. The reason why "USA Today" can rise so quickly is not only because it is the first national daily newspaper in the United States, but also because it pioneered the use of a large number of informative photos and graphs to express news, and officially announced the "reading picture". The arrival of the "era" has the title of "TV in the Newspaper". In addition, Xia Yu¡¯s planning also pointed out the mission of "USA Today"-"Accurate but not pessimistic, detailed but not negative coverage of all news ~ www.novelhall.com~ It can be said that Xia Yu Combining the advantages of the past decades of the development of "USA Today", I believe that as long as it can be produced perfectly, the "USA Today" newspaper will create the most legendary rise in the history of American newspapers. This newspaper is what Xia Yu has high hopes for, and it has built the strongest foundation for the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company! Yan Wenhan solemnly accepted the plan and promised: "Chairman, don''t worry, I will do my best to make this newspaper." "Ok!" "By the way, this is the person I chose to support in the U.S. presidential campaign. The name is Ronald Wilson Reagan. He will definitely contact you in the future. As long as his request is not excessive, you will fully cooperate with him!" With that said, Xia Yu took out Reagan''s business card to Yan Wenhan. Yan Wenhan''s heart trembled, his face solemnly accepted, and his heart was shocked by Chairman Xia Yu''s generous work, and his blood gradually boiled over. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to intervene in the presidential election. In his impression, the President of the United States is the most powerful person in the world, and now, the chairman of the board of directors is betting at this time. He will be a witness and participant. He can''t help but feel honored, and he has great pride in his chest. . "If you really succeed, what kind of gain will it be..." A dreamy thought flashed in Yan Wenhan''s heart. Seeing Yan Wenhan in a trance, Xia Yu smiled understandingly. After that, I talked to Yan Wenhan about work again. Xia Yu left, ready to return to pack up his bags and set off for San Francisco, California. There, he will officially begin to build his career in the United States.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 757: Hunting target-pharmaceutical giant San Francisco, also known as "San Francisco" and "San Francisco", is a port city on the Pacific coast of California, USA. It is a world-famous tourist attraction and the fourth most populous city in California. Xia Yu''s Polaris capital is based in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The San Francisco Bay Area is located around the San Francisco Bay at the estuary of the Sacramento River. There are nine counties and 101 towns. The main cities include San Francisco on the San Francisco Peninsula, Oakland in the east, and San Francisco in the south. Silicon Valley is located on the San Francisco Bay. South of the district. The existing high-tech companies in Silicon Valley and the ones that will appear in the future are Xia Yu¡¯s hunting goals. It would be great to set up the company here! New companies generally keep things simple. But Xia Yu is not bad at all, and it is very cost-effective to buy a property in the San Francisco Bay Area. Therefore, Polaris Capital owns an office building of its own. The building is 30 stories high. Two stories are temporarily opened, and the remaining 28 stories continue to be leased. . All of this was done by Peter Lynch, a subordinate sent by Xia Yu when he was in New York. In New York, through Ray Dario and Julian Robertson to list Wall Street''s financial elites, Xia Yu combined with past life memories to dig out Peter Lynch from Fidelity Fund Management. This middle-aged Sven, who was born in 1944 and was only 36 years old at this time, is a manager of a fund called Magellan Fund of Fidelity Fund Management Company. He has just been in office for more than two years and is not the ten most famous investment masters in the world. One of the great people can only be regarded as a small celebrity in Wall Street where predators gather and are full of elites. In his previous life, Peter Lynch was a well-known Wall Street master. He has been in charge of the Magellan Fund for 13 years since 1977. From the initial 20 million US dollars to 14 billion US dollars, he became the global asset management amount at that time. The largest fund, and its investment efficiency ranks first, with an average compound interest rate of 29% in 13 years. It is a pity that in his previous life in 1990, Peter Lynch resolutely chose to retire at his peak and devoted himself to education. For such a person who does not value money, Xia Yu really took a lot of thought in order to dig him. Fortunately, he has the memory of his previous life. He knew very well about Peter Lynch, and only talked about him three times at night. Dig it. After digging, he sent Peter Lynch to San Francisco first to build Polaris Capital Management Company. Because Peter Lynch has only been here for less than ten days, and it took some time to purchase the building, he has not had time to fill the company. When Xia Yu followed the address and came to the company, the office area was still very empty. Apart from the neatly arranged desks, there were not many people. When seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, a white young man took the initiative to ask about the situation: "Hello, is there anything I can serve you?" Xia Yu looked at him with a smile, and did not reveal his identity, but asked: "Hello, where is Manager Peter Lynch? I spoke with him before coming." The white young man was taken aback, and then said: "The manager is interviewing applicants upstairs, please follow me!" "Okay thank you!" Soon, Xia Yu followed the white youth to the upper floor. The upstairs is not as large as the downstairs, but is divided into rooms. Along the corridor, Xia Yu passed by a large conference room and saw a group of applicants in suits sitting quietly, but the interview place Diagonally across, a beautiful blonde white woman was waiting in front of the door. The white young man walked over and said a few words to the blonde white beauty. The blonde beauty looked embarrassed. At this moment, the person next to him opened up and walked out a young man who was applying. The young man was shocked when he saw a crowd of people standing outside, but Xia Yu didn''t even bother to care about him. Not long after the blonde beauty entered, Peter Lynch, wearing square glasses, walked out quickly. After seeing Xia Yu, he bowed slightly and said, "Boss, you are here. I''m sorry to keep you waiting." The white youth and the blonde beauty were surprised, and immediately greeted Xia Yu. After Xia Yu responded one by one, he asked Peter Lynch: "Why do you need to interview in person, the manager of the personnel department?" Peter Lynch said: "I haven''t hired a qualified personnel manager yet, so I can only interview myself." Xia Yu nodded slightly, thought for a while and said, "Next, I will tell you about an interview." "Okay!" Peter Lynch replied. After that, Xia Yu asked Li Wuming and others who followed him to wait there, while he and Peter Lynch returned to the house. The blonde beauty immediately went to inform the next applicant. During the interview throughout the morning, Xia Yu spent most of the time watching quietly, and he hardly expressed any opinions. It was Peter Lynch who was the master. Xia Yu¡¯s approach made the latter in addition to the initial pressure. It feels baffling behind. In fact, Xia Yu is observing the level of candidates. There are many universities around San Francisco, including Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, San Francisco, University of San Francisco, University of Santa Clara, etc. There are no shortcomings in talent training, so applicants have a certain level, but you have to say If it is very high, there is nothing. After all, Polaris Capital is just a new company, which is not very attractive to senior talent. According to this kind of progress, it is undoubtedly more difficult to build a team that satisfies him. But now it has entered March of 1980. Considering his hunting goal, time has become tight, and he must now establish the company as quickly as possible! At lunch, Xia Yu told Peter Lynch to stop applying for the job and let him go to Los Angeles first. Early the next morning, Xia Yu brought Peter Lynch and others to the headquarters of Korn Ferry International in Los Angeles. This is not only the global headquarters, but also the first office in North America. Xia Yu was lucky. When he arrived, the chairman and chief executive officer, Richard Ferry, the largest shareholder, and Lester Cohen, the second largest shareholder, were all in the company. Last year when Lester Cohen came to Asia to explore the market, he had been to Xiangjiang and met Xia Yu a few times, so he recognized Xia Yu. After a warm greeting, Xia Yu began to learn more about Korn Ferry International, and found an opportunity in a small chat. Before that, he spent 25 million U.S. dollars to buy 25% of the shares of Korn Ferry International from the OTC market. The equity was sold by Lester Cohen for US$4 million in 1972, so Xia Yu took over from other institutions. Naturally, the US$25 million would not enter the company''s account. In the past year, in order to cope with competition from other rivals, Korn Ferry International, which was established the latest, had to expand aggressively. It opened 38 offices around the world at one go. The expenses were very large and the company''s funds were tight. Coupled with the severe domestic inflation at this time, it has affected all walks of life and also affected the business of Korn Ferry. As a result, the company is in a dilemma. Richard Ferry and Lester Cohen are struggling over the next two years as to whether to suspend the expansion and get through the difficult period first. However, Korn Ferry International was originally established at the latest. Since its establishment, it has been the most radical and the biggest step forward in order to catch up with other peers. In the current market environment, Richard Ferry considers that not only Korn Ferry will be uncomfortable, but other peers are equally uncomfortable, so he believes that this is a good opportunity to catch up and want to take the opportunity to fill the gap. However, Lester Cohen considered that the funds were not enough and the actual conditions did not allow Korn Ferry to expand in a big way, thinking that the risk was too great. Knowing this situation, Xia Yu found two people and proposed that he had enough capital to inject capital into Korn Ferry International. Richard Ferry and Lester Cohen did not agree at first, but two days later, Richard Ferry, who holds 49% of the shares, convinced Lester Cohen~www.novelhall. com~ agreed to Xia Yu''s capital injection and share expansion. Considering that the long-term stable relationship is the most powerful for him, Xia Yu was not too harsh during the negotiation and gave the company a high valuation of US$130 million. At about this time last year, when Xia Yu was at a premium, Korn Ferry¡¯s valuation was only US$100 million, and now it has risen by at least 30% a year, which is definitely not less. Xia Yu invested 20 million US dollars to enter the company again, and once again obtained a 13.33% equity ratio. With the original equity holdings, his shareholding ratio increased to 38.33%. It is the second largest shareholder of the company. Richard Ferry''s shareholding dropped to 40.29% and remains the largest shareholder. Originally the second largest shareholder, Lester Cohen''s shareholding ratio fell to 21.38%, swapping positions with Xia Yu and becoming a third shareholder. As soon as the contract was signed, Xia Yu immediately credited 20 million US dollars to Korn Ferry International. With huge amounts of money in hand, Richard Ferry is in a good mood and can continue to expand the company. And Xia Yu also took out a list of positions he asked Peter Lynch to list and handed it to Richard Ferry, asking him to do his best to recruit talents as quickly as possible. The face of the second largest shareholder and major financial owner is indeed great enough. Richard Ferry immediately convened a large number of senior consultants from the company. After brainstorming, suitable people were recommended, and then they began to target people. Xia Yu and Peter Lynch are in charge of the check. In this case, the talents of Polaris Capital are filled at a high speed. Xia Yu took the time to decide the first hunting target. This goal is the next generation of biopharmaceutical giants with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 758: Initiate an acquisition After determining the target, Xia Yu immediately extracted a part from the company''s elite, formed a complete acquisition team, and began to collect detailed information about the target. Many of these elites recruited by targeted hunting have worked in capital management companies or venture capital companies in San Francisco or Silicon Valley. They are well informed about the venture capital field in recent years. In just five days, Genentech¡¯s detailed information was collected and presented to Xia Yu¡¯s desk. Genentech is just abbreviation, the company''s full name is American Genetic Engineering Technology Corporation. The company was founded on April 7, 1976 and is currently based in San Francisco. In later generations, Genentech can be regarded as the oldest biotechnology company in the United States, second only to Amgen in terms of scale and strength. It''s just that in later generations, Genentech was acquired by the Swiss Roche Pharmaceuticals Group, which in 1990 bought a 60% stake in Genentech for US$2.1 billion. In 2009, the Swiss Roche Pharmaceuticals Group once again invested about 46.8 billion US dollars to acquire the remaining 40% of the equity. In other words, by 2009, Genentech was valued at more than $110 billion. Genentech will undoubtedly be extremely brilliant in the future, but now, it is only a young company established for more than three years and nearly four years and has not been listed. Genentech was able to establish and develop smoothly even though it has been losing money. The venture capital company has contributed. At the beginning, it was a 27-year-old Robert Swanson, a partner of a venture capital firm named Coller Perkins, and a biochemist at the University of California, founder of the field of DNA recombination, 1976 Professor Herb Boyle, a Nobel Prize winner, established Genentech. At that time, Robert Swanson obtained one hundred thousand dollars in funding from the company, and Professor Herb Boyle put out two or six thousand dollars in savings. In return, Coller Perkins received 100% Twenty-five equity. Then, in January 1977, when the funds ran out, a venture capital company named York Capital Corporation appeared, invested 850,000 US dollars, and took a 25% stake in Genentech. Coller Pa Kings followed the investment, and the equity savings remained at 25%. Just nine months after its establishment, Genentech¡¯s valuation has soared to 3.37 million U.S. dollars from 400,000 US dollars at the beginning. But at this time Genentech''s products are still being tested. In August 1977, Genentech synthesized a brain hormone-somatostatin. This major breakthrough made Genentech''s reputation and attracted more venture capital attention. Until May 1978, Genentech accepted the third venture capital investment with an investment of 950,000 U.S. dollars, and Conston Capital acquired 8.6% of the shares, all of which were from Hehe Brought it out under the name of Professor Boyle. Because the venture capital industry has only been around for 20 years, the market is not big, and many aspects are not perfect. Venture capital companies have stronger initiative in startups than later generations. Therefore, the investment agreements signed by the other two venture capital companies are similar to those of later generations. Another difference is that the two venture capital companies continued to maintain their equity ratio with the investment. At that time, Genentech¡¯s valuation soared to 11 million US dollars. In September last year, Genentech was reorganized and planned to go public, and it was already going through the listing approval process. It¡¯s just that the goal of listing is NASDAQ, because Genentech, a company with low assets, negative profits, and high valuations, can also be listed on NASDAQ in the United States, with greater influence and scale. In the exchange, Genentech¡¯s current conditions simply cannot enter. According to data, Genentech now has four shareholders, the shareholding ratio of which is Professor Herb Boyle, who holds 41.4% of the shares, and Coller Perkins holds 100% of the shares. Twenty-five, York Capital Company holds 25% of the shares, and Conston Capital Company holds 8.6%. According to last year¡¯s 1979 annual financial report, Genentech¡¯s total revenue was only 6 million US dollars. Because of the successful cloning of growth hormone, many research results are shifting from the research and development stage to the approval stage and are ready to be put into production. Therefore, the net profit is negative. Assets are around 2.5 million US dollars. But this does not prevent the capital market from having high expectations for Genentech! So don¡¯t even think about it now, Genentech¡¯s valuation will be very high! Xia Yu doesn''t care whether the valuation is high or not, because no matter how high it is, it can''t go anywhere. To him, who holds more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in cash, it''s completely trivial! In addition to the information about Genentech, the survey results also include information about its three venture capital shareholders. Among them, Coller Perkins has the weakest strength. Founded in 1972, the company manages four funds with less than 50 million US dollars in capital. The investment vision of Coller Perkins is not so good, so far the best investment return prospect is Genentech. But now Genentech is on the way to go public, if you want to harvest the fruits, you have to wait at least half a year. If Xia Yu''s Polaris Capital can come up with money that exceeds their psychological expectations, I believe that Coller Perkins will not waste more than half a year waiting for an unknown. After reading the information, Xia Yu called Peter Lynch and convened the acquisition team to study the specific acquisition plan. Xia Yu swept across everyone¡¯s faces and set the tone first: ¡°My goal is to acquire the shares of Coller Perkins, York Capital, and Conston Capital, and to suspend Genentech. Listing process." "The second step is to acquire as much equity as possible from Professor Herb Boyle on the basis of completely retaining Professor Boyle!" At this moment, Genentech¡¯s most valuable company is Professor Herb Boyle, who won the Nobel Prize, followed by his scientific research team and the patents for drugs that have been developed. As for other laboratories, production lines, etc. , It is not important at all, you can buy better ones if you have money! In any company, the most valuable are people. This is even more obvious in companies with a high proportion of scientific research, and Genentech is still in its early stages of growth, and the value of people is almost concentrated in Professor Herb Boyle. "Chairman, in accordance with normal procedures, Genentech will be listed on the Nasdaq in September or October. Now the market generally value Genentech at between US$100 million and US$150 million. We want to acquire the equity in the hands of three venture capital companies. Under the temptation to go public, we have to invest at least US$100 million, or even US$150 million." A middle-aged subordinate of the acquisition team stood up and said. Xia Yu immediately replied: "Money is not a problem. Now the company''s initial capital is 100 million U.S. dollars. I can apply for more funds. As long as there are suitable projects, one billion U.S. dollars can be injected." "I want to state here that the consortium behind the company has enough strength In the future investment and acquisitions, funding issues are not in the scope of consideration!" As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was refreshed and realized that the company they joined was not as simple as it seemed. But isn''t this better? In an instant, everyone''s sense of belonging to the company greatly increased. ... "The difficulty now lies in how to convince the three venture capital companies to give up the idea of ??going public and sell their equity to us in advance!" After everyone discussed, Peter Lynch concluded his speech. "Chairman, now Genentech is already in the process of going public, the sooner the acquisition, the better, so I suggest that it be divided into three acquisition groups and proceed at the same time." After speaking, everyone turned their attention to Xia Yu. This was in line with Xia Yu''s heart. He nodded and said, "Well, there are three acquisition teams. I will be in charge of one and you will be in charge of one. Who is willing to take the initiative to stand up for the remaining one? "I!" "Chairman, I am willing!" "Chairman, I can do it!" Several people rushed to say. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly. After asking a few people to explain their ideas, they ordered the one with the best idea to be the acquisition team leader. The others were assigned to three teams, and then the missing manpower reported to Peter Lynch. , The rest of the deployment company comes in. After that, several meetings were held, and the complete acquisition plan and independent action plan were made. On March 10th, Xia Yu called everyone to gather in the company''s conference room, and after expressing some inspiring ideas, he immediately announced his action. The three acquisition teams were dispatched at the same time and set off for the three companies.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 759: Chattering Among the three groups, Xia Yu was responsible for conquering the Coller Perkins company, which has the strongest relationship with Professor Herb Boyle. Although Coller Perkins invested in Genentech three times and seemed to have always supported Professor Herb Boyle, Xia Yu didn''t care. Weak strength is the Achilles heel of Coller Perkins. Venture capital companies like it generally cast angel rounds or round A, and being able to follow round B is already the limit. Genentech was pushed to go public and is no longer in Series C financing. It might not be possible that they will help fuel the flames. For example, Genentech¡¯s valuation is more than 100 million at this time. If a C round of financing is opened, a 10% stake will require at least US$10 million or more. With the strength of Coller Perkins, it is difficult to keep up. After all, their company¡¯s operational capital does not exceed US$50 million, and it is impossible to invest only in Genentech¡¯s project, so the company¡¯s liquidity will never many. Genentech¡¯s valuation is already high enough. It¡¯s the best way to go public and let the public capital take risks. Coller Perkins can also profit from the arbitrage and use the huge profits to invest in new seedlings. The enterprise grows in this cycle. Because they had made an appointment in advance, Xia Yu and others were led by the receptionist and met Harry Morrison, CEO of Coller Perkins, and two other executives. Seeing Xia Yu''s team of five people, but with a young yellow race as the core, Harry Morrison''s eyes condensed, and several thoughts flashed in his mind. Regarding Polaris Capital, Harry Morrison had never heard of it before, that is, when he got an appointment yesterday, he specifically inquired about it, and received not much news, except that it was a newly established company. But he does not doubt the strength of Polaris Capital, because according to his investigation, Polaris Capital bought a 30-story office building in downtown San Francisco as soon as it arrived. Anyway, with the strength of their Coller Perkins company, there is absolutely no spare money to buy an office building! Therefore, he holds a cautious or even vigilant attitude towards Polaris Capital, whose purpose is unknown. For a company with a mysterious background, it is best not to offend it! Harry Morrison did not show his true attitude. He enthusiastically greeted Xia Yu and others to take their seats. After his subordinates poured tea and coffee for everyone, he drank coffee and chatted with Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, it''s an honor to meet you and welcome your visit!" "Thank you Mr. Morrison for your warm hospitality!" ... "Mr. Xia, I wonder if you are here this time, what can I do for you?" After the greeting, Harry Morrison asked, looking at Xia Yu tightly. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "I''m here to bother this time, mainly because I want to do your company a favor. Of course, I''m telling the truth and it''s good for us. It''s a win-win thing." Harry Morrison couldn''t comment, but he became more vigilant in his heart. He didn''t believe there was such a good thing. He then asked: "I don''t know what it is?" Xia Yu smiled and said bluntly: "In fact, I want to buy the equity of Genentech held by your company." Harry Morrison''s face changed suddenly, and before he spoke, a middle-aged white man in his thirties next to him resolutely said: "Impossible, the equity of Genentech is not for sale in our company!" Seeing the people next to him say it, Harry Morrison''s expression became a little more relaxed, but his tone was also cold, as if leaving no room for him, he refused: "I''m sorry, Mr. Xia, we can''t meet your request!" Xia Yu stopped the subordinates who wanted to talk, looked calm, smiled and looked at the person who spoke first, and asked: "Sir, can I be lucky enough to know your name?" Xia Yu''s attitude is very friendly, so the middle-aged white man''s face also eased, and he uttered a few words: "Robert Swanson!" Xia Yu suddenly understood that it was the one who discovered Genentech. No wonder the reaction was so intense. With his achievements in discovering Genentech, it is normal to become a senior partner of Coller Perkins. No wonder he can accompany Harry Morrison. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Swanson, and Mr. Morrison, in fact, you don¡¯t have to refuse so fast. There is nothing in the world that cannot be sold. The key is whether the price can be satisfied or not. I have not yet bid. Why should you refuse so fast?" "Maybe my price will satisfy you?" Harry Morrison and Robert Swanson looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other''s eyes. After making eye contact between Robert Swanson and Harry Morrison, he said indifferently: "Mr. Xia, Genentech is already in the process of going public, and it can be listed in at most six months. By then, its market value will definitely be better than The current valuation is several times higher, why should we pick the fruits in advance?" Xia Yu shook his head and retorted: "It is difficult to say whether it is several times higher, because so far, Genentech has not made a profit. No one knows how the capital market will choose, maybe it will fall below the issue price?" Robert Swanson is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He directly caught Xia Yu¡¯s painful foot and strongly retorted: ¡°It will never fall below the issue price! Maybe I was not sure what the capital market would choose before, but you are here today. On the contrary, our confidence has been strengthened. I believe that Genentech will definitely be able to go public successfully, and the stock price has greatly exceeded the opening price!" Well, this statement of Xia Yu was directly blocked by Robert Swanson. However, Xia Yu had prepared well before he came, and the reasons for the negotiation had been thought out a lot. He did not admit Robert Swanson¡¯s statement, ignored it, opened another battlefield and said: "Mr. Swanson, if half a year, Genentech can be listed, but your original equity will be locked for one year before the transaction can be unlocked. , Which means that your funds will be locked in at least one and a half years, even if Genentech¡¯s stock price is high, you will not be able to cash out." "At the current speed of technological development, in this year and a half, there will be countless companies with extremely strong potential ~ www.novelhall.com~ Are you willing to miss it because of funding?" Weak strength is the Achilles¡¯ heel. If Coller Perkins is well-capitalized, Xia Yu¡¯s reason is simply untenable. But speaking out now makes Harry Morrison and Robert Swanson look ugly. At this time, another middle-aged man Colin Hicks who had been sitting silently defended: ¡°Mr. Xia, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. We can afford to wait for half a year. Genentech goes public. Now, even if our original shares are locked, we can still use equity pledges to find bank loans." "And I believe that as long as Genentech is listed, there will be a steady stream of investors waving U.S. dollars to us for investment." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Is it hard to say whether there will be investors coming to the door? After all, it hasn''t happened yet. I will just say one thing. You want to pledge the loan with Genentech''s equity. The prerequisite is that Genentech is successfully listed." "Then, you are also very aware of the conservativeness of the banks. They like the stocks of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. They do not approve of the NASDAQ stocks, otherwise the capital market of venture capital will not appear." "Even if you find a bank that is willing to pledge loans, the loan ratio will be four or five tiers. After all, for banks, Nasdaq stocks with negative earnings and high stock prices are too risky." "With so many risks, you still need to pay high interest rates to the bank. What will happen if Genentech''s stock price plummets or you don''t find new potential companies?" The three of Xia Yu''s statements were speechless, and they did not know how to refute them. ps: Subscription book! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 760: Interests first Seeing the violent veins on Robert Swanson¡¯s neck and the tendency to stop the conversation from anger, Xia Yu immediately said: ¡°Actually, you can listen to my terms. You hold 25% of the equity. Our company is willing High premium, 35 million US dollars invested!" "After three rounds of investment, you have invested a total of more than 300,000 US dollars, and you have gained more than a hundred times the profit!" Robert Swanson was stunned when he said this. And Harry Morrison also shrank his pupils, and the inner resistance instantly collapsed. Buying 25% of the equity for 35 million US dollars is equivalent to valuing Genentech at 140 million US dollars. Now Genentech¡¯s total assets are only about 2.5 million US dollars, and the annual net profit is negative. This valuation is already very high. Although the outside world is generally valued at US$100 million to US$150 million, they know in their hearts that this valuation is also the price after listing. Genentech is already in the process of going public. They made internal estimates and looked for investment banks. The offer price that investment banks are willing to give is very low, which is based on a guaranteed market value of US$100 million. At this time, the valuation given by Xia Yu was much higher than that of investment banks, which was equivalent to a 40% increase in stock price after listing. And they don¡¯t need to wait another half a year, nor do they need to lock up the stocks for a year. They can get the money in advance to invest in the companies they want to invest in, without having to take many risks! Although there is still half a year, maybe Genentech will perform better and greatly increase the issue price, but this is not absolute. Because Professor Herb Boyle is still engaged in research and development, Genentech has never been on the market. For scientific research, there are too many unknowns, and skipping votes is normal. If Professor Herb Boyle did not develop the results on time, the patents that have been developed now are not enough to support Genentech¡¯s ultra-high valuation. The reason why Genentech¡¯s valuation is so terrifying is precisely because the capital market has extremely high expectations for Professor Herb Boyle. Once this expectation is dashed, the bubble will burst! As for whether they have confidence in Professor Herb Boyle, Harry Morrison and others will definitely say yes to outsiders, but they can''t say whether they actually have it. Experiments, scientific research, the probability of yielding results is too small, and it takes countless failures. Throughout the ages, many scientific research results have appeared under unexpected circumstances. Seeing the three of them hesitating, Xia Yu was sure in his heart and continued: "Mr. Morrison, Mr. Swanson, we are here to negotiate with you sincerely, and we are holding a win-win attitude. I can talk to you calmly. Said that our Polaris capital is strong, we have the ability to take the risks of Genentech, and we have the patience to wait." "And you, Coller Perkins, need to give investors an answer. Their patience may not be very good. For Coller Perkins, it is best to specialize in angel wheels and A Round of venture capital, just like now, as long as you make one investment, you can get a hundredfold profit." "As for us, investing large sums of money will also make a lot of hard money. We are very happy to be able to double it." "You might as well think about it. We''ll go back first and come back in the afternoon." After speaking, Xia Yu took a sip from his teacup, got up and took someone away. Harry Morrison sent Xia Yu and others out of the door unwillingly, then returned to the office, closed the door, and said solemnly, "You all heard it just now. What do you think?" After speaking, Harry Morrison cast his sights on Robert Swanson. As for the other person, Colin Hicks also subconsciously cast his sights on Robert Swanson. In the Coller Perkins company, three people are the core, among them Harry Morrison and Colin Hicks are the founders. And Robert Swanson, step by step from a low-level partner to where he is today, based entirely on his personal ability, and it was Genentech that was carrying him to his current position. Whether or not to sell the equity, Harry Morrison has direct rights, but for the stability and unity of the company, he wants to give Robert Swanson some respect. As the CEO of Harry Morrison, some things are hard to say, but Colin Hicks is an old partner with him. Naturally knowing the attitude of his friends, he took the initiative to stand up and say: "After nearly four years, we have invested a total of Genentech is $367,000. If we follow the price of $35 million from Polaris Capital, we will get more than ninety-four times the profit." "And this is only their first bid. As long as they continue to talk, the price will be higher, at least more than 40 million US dollars!" "And the total capital of our company now is 47.2 million US dollars!" Speaking of this, Colin Hicks stopped talking and drank slowly with his coffee. Robert Swanson''s face changed constantly, and his heart clashed fiercely. He knew that what Colin Hicks had said was for him! After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Professor Herb Boyle trusts us very much. If we sell the equity to Polaris Capital, he may not accept it!" "And I have great confidence in Genentech. I believe that after another six months, Professor Herb Boyle''s research and development will produce results, and the market value of Genentech will not be low!" After speaking, Robert Swanson looked straight at Harry Morrison. Harry Morrison sighed, looked at Robert Swanson, and said frankly: "Robert, to be honest, Mr. Xia''s reason and price just moved me." "He has a sentence that awakens me. We are only small roles in venture capital companies. Now we specialize in angel rounds and A rounds, which are the best for our company. When we first established the company, Colin and I It was the same decision, but later you discovered Genentech, which far exceeded our expectations. We followed the B round, but we were not strong enough to continue with the C round." "Fortunately, Genentech has developed fast enough to skip financing and choose to go public, otherwise we will face a choice." "But now, suddenly there is a choice. I think we have to face it. This is not only about investing in a company, but also about the strategic positioning of the entire company. This is the most fundamental thing!" After talking for so long, Harry Morrison paused, took a sip of coffee, and said quietly: "Robert, I know you have a good relationship with Professor Herb Boyle, but he is obsessed with scientific research. People, I believe that as long as you explain to him, he will understand us." "Even if we don''t withdraw now, after the company goes public, we still have to choose to withdraw. This is the result that cannot be changed. The only difference is the time. After Harry Morrison finished talking the whole office fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time. After a long time, Robert Swanson finally figured it out. He sighed, nodded and said: "Harry, you are right, it is indeed more beneficial to the company to quit now. I will follow your decision and I will try my best to follow Professor Herb Boyle explained." Upon hearing Robert Swanson say this, Harry Morrison and Colin Hicks both smiled. Harry Morrison smiled and said, "Robert, thank you for your understanding. After the transaction is completed, you will receive a generous bonus." Robert Swanson squeezed out a smile and thanked: "Thank you!" Colin Hicks clapped his hands to draw the attention of the two of them and said, "Good folks, congratulations on our internal agreement." "Next, we should discuss how to negotiate. Don''t forget that Polaris Capital will come back this afternoon. The young Asian is not a simple character. The three of us were speechless by him." Harry Morrison smiled confidently and said, "Colin, don''t belittle ourselves. Just now because we didn''t have any preparations. In the afternoon, the initiative was on our side." Colin Hicks smiled and said, "Haha, that''s correct, but we still have to prepare." "Strive to sell the equity for a higher price!" Robert Swanson said fiercely: "This is a must. It must be sold at a good price. This contains several years of my hard work!" "Hahaha..." ps: It¡¯s not easy to write, it¡¯s scary to subscribe, and it¡¯s heartbroken. I beg for genuine support.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 761: 50000000 At noon of the same day, Robert Swanson came to Genentech and found Professor Herb Boyle who studied sleeplessness in the laboratory. Robert Swanson said a word of sorry in his heart, then smiled, knocked on the door of the room, and awakened Professor Herb Boyle. "Robert, are you here?" Professor Herb Boyle stopped his movements, looked back, took off his mask and said with a smile. With that said, put the test tube in the test tube rack and move it into the fume hood. "Professor Herb Boyle, don''t you take a nap?" Robert Swanson asked concerned. Professor Herb Boyle said with a smile: "You know, I''m used to it. For me, it''s more important to sleep without experimenting." "Well! Your scientific research spirit is what I have always respected, and I salute you!" After saying these words, Robert Swanson fell into silence, pursing his mouth, how to speak. After all, Professor Herb Boyle is a person with superior IQ. He immediately noticed the strangeness of Robert Swanson. He thought for a while and asked: "Robert, what''s wrong with you? Is there anything to tell me? Need to go back to the office to talk?" Robert Swanson nodded slightly, pursed his mouth, daring not to look at Professor Herb Boyle''s eyes, and slowly said, "Let''s go back to the office and talk." "Yes, wait a moment!" After speaking, Professor Herb Boyle arranged the experimental equipment, took off his gloves, took off his white coat and hat, hung them up, and walked to the office. After sitting down, Professor Herb Boyle looked into Robert Swanson¡¯s eyes and asked straight into the subject: "Robert, come on, what''s the trouble with you? We are friends. If you need my help, I I must do my best." Professor Herb Boyle''s remark made Robert Swanson even more self-blame, but he had already discussed with Harry Morrison and others in the morning, and he had no way to look back. So he bit his head and said apologetically: "Professor Herb Boyle, I''m sorry, we did something sorry for you?" Professor Herb Boyle frowned and kept calm and asked: "What the **** is going on? Is there something wrong with the listing process?" Robert Swanson hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "It can be said that it is like this. In the morning, a company called Polaris Capital came to us and wanted to buy all the shares in Genentech held by our company. " Speaking of this, Robert Swanson looked at Professor Herb Boyle guiltily. The latter fell into calm again after fluctuating mood, and continued to ask with a blank face, "What then? I want to know how you decided later." Robert Swanson thought for a while and continued: "At first I strongly opposed it, but as you know, I am just a senior partner. I have the right to make suggestions, but the right to make decisions is not with me. Polaris Capital¡¯s bid is high, so the company I want to cash out early." "But Professor Herb Boyle, you can rest assured that Polaris Capital is much stronger than us. We can sign an agreement with him and let them continue to support you." Professor Herb Boyle nodded understandingly and said: "Robert, I know you can''t help yourself. I understand you, and I understand your company''s choice." "But I also ask you to consider my feelings. I don''t care if I go to the market or not. I just want to be able to study smoothly, produce my research results, and bring hope of life to patients all over the world. You said you want to go public. I can raise more funds, so I asked the company to apply for listing. Your withdrawal may affect this purpose." "I only have one request. I hope that no matter what, I will ensure that my research and production have sufficient funds to proceed." Robert Swanson nodded understandingly: "Professor Herb Boyle, I have always been aware of your thoughts. You can rest assured that Polaris Capital will come back this afternoon. I will mention your request and write it into the agreement. in." Professor Herb Boyle calmed down and said, ¡°Then I¡¯m fine, just tell me the price later. I have to know how much my company is worth.¡± "Of course!" Robert Swanson replied hurriedly. "By the way, if Polaris Capital agrees to your request, please inform them, I want to meet them." Professor Herb Boyle thought for a while and wanted to add. "no problem!" "Let''s do this, I will go back and do the experiment first. The data is very important. It has been bothering me for five days. I have intuition. I can solve it in these two days!" "Okay, then I won''t disturb you! I wish you all the best!" ... Half an hour after going to work in the afternoon, Xia Yu arrived at the Coller Perkins Company on time, and met Harry Morrison in the same place. Xia Yu quickly glanced at the expressions of the three of them, and immediately understood the situation. It must be a success! But then there is a tough battle to keep the price down as much as possible. Avoid getting the news to spread out, affecting the work of the other two acquisition teams and making the acquisition more difficult. Fortunately, Xia Yu had considered this before, so he decided to initiate the acquisition at the same time and caught them by surprise. "Mr Morrison, how do you think about it?" Xia Yu looked directly at the three of them and asked with a smile. Harry Morrison looked like a knife, the whole person seemed to be full of aggressiveness, and he said in a deep voice: "We have already considered, the equity can be sold to you, but the premise is that you must give a suitable price. The price in the morning is serious. Not in line with Genentech¡¯s value!" Xia Yu smiled faintly and asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Xia Yu will raise this question. They have already estimated this in the morning, so Harry Morrison said immediately: "I think 70 million US dollars can meet its value!" Seventy million U.S. dollars, twice what Xia Yu bid in the morning! Good guy, Harry Morrison and others are also big mouths! For the benefit of capitalists, the skin can be as thick as a city wall! The price was paid back. Xia Yu stared and said with an exaggerated expression: "Mr. Morrison, you must know that Genentech¡¯s total assets are only more than two million US dollars, and the profit is even more negative. It is too outrageous to estimate the value of US$280 million. The valuation is a hundred times different from the assets. Since the existence of capital, I have never seen such an exaggeration, even in the highly sought-after semiconductor industry today. , There is not such a big gap!" This is not the age of the Internet. Although the pharmaceutical industry is a high-tech industry, it is also a traditional industry. The valuation difference between assets and assets by more than 100 times does not exist! That is to say, in the future Internet era, with excess capital, high-quality unicorn companies are scarce compared to capital, so prices have been raised again and again. But now, the venture capital industry has only just appeared for 20 years. It has not experienced the madness of the Internet age. Traditional capital will not accept this situation! Although Harry Morrison was a little embarrassed, he was calm on the surface. Xia Yu did not bargain. Of course he had to stick to his bottom line and gritted his teeth and said, "No, I think the price of 70 million US dollars is very appropriate. Genentech Unlike ordinary companies, everyone has confidence in it. As long as the technology patent is put into production, it will inflate like a balloon." With that said, Harry Morrison even stroked a balloon with his hands. Xia Yu shook his head and retorted: "Mr. Morrison, we really want to buy, and we hope you will be sincere. Genentech¡¯s value is up to 150 million U.S. dollars! I think even when it goes public, the price will be at most. !" With a valuation of 150 million U.S. dollars, which means that the equity they hold is worth 37.5 million U.S. dollars, Xia Yu raised the price by 2.5 million U.S. dollars in one breath, and the pace of concession is considered to be great! The bargaining officially began, and Harry Morrison stepped back and said embarrassingly: "Well, we are not unreasonable, we back down, 67 million dollars!" Xia Yu retorted: "Mr. Morrison, this price is very unrealistic..." ... In the beginning, Xia Yu was playing against Harry Morrison, and the people from the back two sides participated in the negotiation. The negotiation became more and more intense, and the saliva splashed. In this process, both sides are constantly testing and giving in. In the end, Harry Morrison killed 50 million dollars, and let Xia Yu and others exhaust their tongues, he just refused to let go. Xia Yu realized that this price was their bottom line, and Genentech was valued at US$200 million, which was within his acceptance range. So Xia Yu let go and agreed to the price. Xia Yu sighed with a reluctant expression on his face and said, "Well, Mr. Morrison, you have won!" Harry Morrison smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, according to you, it is a win-win situation, isn''t it?" Now that the cooperation has been reached, it is normal to say something nice. Xia Yu shook his head and smiled and said, "Maybe, the price is too high, and fortunately I am here. If I change to another person, I will definitely not dare to be the master! His eloquence is awesome!" "Haha..." After that, the two parties were seated again, and Harry Morrison made another request that surprised Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, we have already negotiated the price, but we still have one request, which is set by Professor Herb Boyle. Conditionally, after you take over our equity, regardless of whether you continue to support the company¡¯s listing, you must ensure that Professor Herb Boyle¡¯s scientific research funding, and that the company has sufficient funds for experiments and the production of research and development drugs." This request was in line with Xia Yu''s heart, and he fully agreed: "Of course there is no problem. The company''s development is our fundamental goal. Professor Herb Boyle''s scientific research funding can be guaranteed!" Harry Morrison nodded and smiled: "Then it''s okay. By the way, Professor Herb Boyle asked us to convey a word for us, hoping to see you." "When?" "The time is up to you, but I hope it will happen soon!" "No problem, after signing the agreement today, we will see him tomorrow. This is the minimum respect!" "..." After the talks, the two parties began to sign an agreement, which was very efficient. Xia Yu had prepared everything a long time ago, completed the agreement on the same day, arrived at the nearby Bank of America, and transferred 50 million US dollars to the account of Coller Perkins on the spot. So far, 25% of Genentech¡¯s equity is in hand! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 762: Greedy hunter In the evening, Xia Yu convened all members of the acquisition team to summarize today''s results and agree on tomorrow''s plan based on the situation. As soon as you come up, you first report the status of each group. Needless to say, Xia Yu won all of them that day. Peter Lynch¡¯s second group is in charge of York Capital. He reported to Xia Yuhui: "Chairman, today we negotiated with the CEO of York Capital for a day. They have agreed to sell the equity. The difficulty now is that the price cannot be agreed." "York Capital offered 55 million U.S. dollars. Due to time constraints, the negotiations were terminated." Xia Yu nodded slightly and looked at Brandon Gus, the third group leader. The latter immediately said: "Chairman, Conston Capital is very confident in Genentech and has refused to sell its shares until the afternoon. We only persuaded them to agree to sell the equity, but they offered a very high price, 8.6 percent of the equity asking for 21.5 million US dollars!" According to this price, it can be seen that their valuation of Genentech is US$250 million, which is US$50 million higher than the valuation of Coller Perkins! But Xia Yu also expressed understanding, because at the beginning, he predicted that Conston Capital''s attitude towards selling shares would be the most negative. After all, they joined in the third round of financing after defeating a lot of opponents. They are destined to have the most confidence in Genentech. And the latest entry means that their appetite will be the greatest. They also have the capital strength to take this risk, and they have the strength to wait for GeneTek to go public. Unlike Coller Perkins, which has weak capital and has never seen the big world, Xia Yu¡¯s higher bid made them obediently surrender. After signaling Brandon Gus to sit down, Xia Yu said with a smile: "In fact, the situation is pretty good. Although it was not successful on the day, both of you successfully convinced them to sell the equity. The difference is only the price." "York Capital¡¯s valuation of Genentech is US$220 million, while Conston Capital¡¯s valuation is US$250 million. I am responsible for the acquisition of Coller Perkins. The valuation is only 200 million U.S. dollars, and the gap here is indeed a bit big." "But it doesn''t matter. Conston Capital has the lowest shareholding ratio. Even if the valuation is high, it will cost one or two million dollars more. Promise them!" "You can tell them the price of Coller Perkins today to keep the price down!" "I have just one request. Tomorrow, the acquisition must be ended. This is the company''s first action. I don''t want accidents! I hope you can perform well!" The hearts of the crowd shivered, and they agreed in unison. Then, continue to discuss the detailed tackling strategy, and strive to let York Capital and Conston Capital follow the pace of Polaris Capital tomorrow! ... Early the next morning, Peter Lynch and Brandon Gus set out again. And Xia Yu brought his subordinates and others to Genentech. He did not forget that Professor Herb Boyle wanted to see him. And the equity in Professor Herb Boyle''s hands is also something he covets. Xia Yu waited in the reception room for less than five minutes, and saw an elderly man in his fifties wearing glasses walking in. Xia Yu saw the photo and immediately recognized it. This person was Professor Herb Boyle. He immediately got up and greeted with a slight respect: "Professor Herb Boyle, hello, I am the chairman of Polaris Capital, my name is Xia Yu, you can call me Xia." Professor Herb Boyle was not arrogant. He smiled, shook hands with Xia Yu, and called Xia Yu''s name awkwardly, and said, "Hello, Mr. Xia! Please sit down!" "Thank you, please sit down too!" After being seated one after another, Professor Herb Boyle asked bluntly: "Mr. Xia, Robert Swanson told me yesterday that the shares in their company have been sold to you, and you have agreed to my terms. Now we are facing each other. I want to know what is your purpose in acquiring Genentech? What is your attitude?" It''s worthy of being a scientific researcher, speaking straight and straight, but this kind of personality is just right, there are not so many intestines, as long as you touch the right door, you will actually get along well. Xia Yu smiled and said: "Professor Herb Boyle, the reason why we acquired Genentech is because we are very optimistic about you. We believe that your research can benefit the world, so we are willing to help you push your research results. To the world, by the way, get some compensation in this process." What Xia Yu said was very artistic. Even Professor Herb Boyle didn''t like people to flatter, but the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, his complexion softened a lot, and he got a lot closer to Xia Yu. Professor Herb Boyle forced a smile and said: "Mr. Xia, if you really have this attitude, then I welcome you!" Xia Yu nodded immediately, speaking very openly: "Of course, we will fully support your research." "By the way, Professor Herb Boyle, we are very optimistic about you, so in addition to acquiring the equity of Coller Perkins, we are also acquiring equity of York Capital and Conston Capital." In a few simple words, Xia Yu already knows the nature of Professor Herb Boyle, so in order to avoid misunderstandings, he clarified the matter. Professor Herb Boyle really didn¡¯t know the news. He frowned, staring at Xia Yu, and said: ¡°You bought the shares of the two companies, then Genentech¡¯s listing process will be terminated. But the production of my research and patents requires a lot of money!" Xia Yu looked at him calmly, and immediately said: "This is not a problem, Professor Herb Boyle, no matter how much money you need, our Polaris Capital can inject capital! As long as you need it!" After that, in order to dispel Professor Herb Boyle¡¯s doubts, Xia Yu also shifted his mind and said: ¡°Professor Herb Boyle, in fact, you should know that there are advantages to listing companies, but there are also disadvantages. Tektronix has encountered difficulties, the stock market will transmit tremendous pressure to you, your plans will be subject to stricter approvals, and the spotlight of the media will always shine on you, making you unable to conduct scientific research at ease!" Xia Yu¡¯s words are very reasonable. Professor Herb Boyle has also learned about the advantages and disadvantages of the stock market in his spare time, and he is naturally aware of past cases. "As far as I know, Genentech went public because the next scientific research and expansion will require a large amount of funds. Now we can bear the money. I hope you can avoid being disturbed by the noisy outside world. We will do our best for you. Create a better scientific research environment." Professor Herb Boyle was able to win the Nobel Prize, and he was naturally a person who was fascinated by experiments. If the funds required for the next expansion were not too large, the three limelight companies might not be able to afford it, and he would not be encouraged to agree. The company applies for listing. Currently, only two of his scientific research results have been released, and both of them are still under review. They have not yet been put into production, and risks still exist. Since Xia Yu''s North Star Capital is willing to take over, he also hopes that he can continue to study quietly. As for the issue that his equity will be diluted after Polaris Capital injects capital, he does not care, he is not keen on money, and even he has the idea of ??setting up a scientific research fund after his death, which is for the latecomers in the DNA field. Research provides support. There is a great chance of luck for his success, but not every time the goddess of fortune comes, so he does not hope that latecomers will also struggle to find the truth because of the difficult scientific research conditions. "Mr. Xia, you are welcome to join!" Professor Herb Boyle said with a smile. "Professor Herb Boyle, thank you, I believe we will get along very happily in the future!" Xia Yu said with a smile, shaking hands with him again. Professor Herb Boyle smiled and nodded: "I hope so!" "Now the company''s funds are not enough. After you finish the acquisition, I hope you can inject funds as soon as possible!" "No problem, if the acquisition can be ended today, then we can inject capital at any time, everything is based on your wishes!" ... Xia Yu had a very pleasant chat with Professor Herb Boyle, but the latter was thinking about his experiment, and after resolving the doubts in his heart, he said goodbye and hurried back to the laboratory. In the afternoon, the acquisitions of both groups were completed. Among them, Peter Lynch took out the case of Coller Perkins, and York Capital¡¯s psychological defenses collapsed at once, and finally took up 2% of his holdings at a price of 51 million US dollars. Fifteenth equity transfer. As for Brandon Gus, he did his best to reduce Genentech¡¯s valuation to US$220 million. Therefore, the transfer price of the 8.6% equity held by Conston Capital is $18.92 million. So far, Polaris Capital has spent a total of US$119.92 million to acquire 58.6% of the shares and become the largest shareholder of Genentech. Xia Yu is very satisfied with this price. Because he knows that the capital market is very enthusiastic about Genentech. According to the historical trajectory Genentech''s stock price rose from 35 U.S. dollars to the highest of 88 U.S. dollars even at the closing price. , Also exceeded 70 US dollars, and the market value directly reached 300 million US dollars. Now it is very worthwhile to cut the Husband half a year ahead of schedule, and control Genentech¡¯s valuation to just over 200 million US dollars. Of course, if you consider Genentech''s future market value of 100 billion yuan, it will be more worthwhile! After completing the acquisition, Xia Yu immediately approached Professor Herb Boyle to discuss the capital injection. In order to leave a good impression, Xia Yu was not too harsh, and valued the current Genentech company at US$210 million. And in order to obtain as much equity as possible, Xia Yu, from the perspective of Professor Herb Boyle, constantly encourages him to develop by leaps and bounds, buy newer and better experimental instruments, and build a top laboratory. And directly build a large factory. In short, how to spend money is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to obtain as much equity as possible. If you don''t seize the opportunity to come here this time, you won''t know the year of the monkey next time, and the cost will be extremely scary by then! Professor Herb Boyle was irritated by Xia Yu and felt very good for Xia Yu. In the end a huge expansion plan was made, and the negotiation decided to inject 50 million US dollars into the company at one time! After the capital injection, Xia Yu''s shareholding ratio increased by 19.23%. The total shareholding ratio increased to 77.83%. Professor Herb Boyle¡¯s shareholding ratio dropped from 41.4% to 22.17%! At this point, Xia Yu can officially announce! Genentech, the hunting success! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 763: Potential is not inferior to Johnsons goal In San Francisco''s venture capital circle, Genentech has a very good reputation. After all, it only took less than four years, and its valuation soared from 400,000 US dollars to more than 100 million US dollars, and it was also on the track of going public. It can be said that if you don''t know Genentech, you are not qualified to say that you are a practitioner in the venture capital industry. But when Polaris Capital strongly acquired Genentech and the news of the suspension of the listing process came out, the whole circle was immediately shocked, and they asked for details. When they learned that Polaris Capital had given a minimum valuation of US$200 million, they were all shocked by Polaris Capital¡¯s large hand. Of course, there are also people who are sour in their hearts secretly sarcasm that Polaris Capital is incapable of making such a high price. But no matter what they think, at least one thing is certain. Polaris Capital has rushed into this circle with an extremely powerful posture. All capital companies in San Francisco know that this market has another crocodile on a rampage. What the outside world and colleagues thought, Xia Yu didn''t have the mind to care about it. After finishing the acquisition of Genentech, he urged Peter Lynch to continue hiring, and then he started the second operation. Time is urgent, he must act quickly, lest the cake is eaten by others! This time, he intends to come up with a big one, in one fell swoop to start the reputation of Polaris Capital, and at the same time lay an Optimus Prime for his strategy in the biopharmaceutical field. Genentech has the future. It cost him more than 100 million U.S. dollars. According to this schedule, he wants to spend most of the money in his hands. He doesn''t know that he will go to the Year of the Monkey. Only one of the giants of biopharmaceuticals can digest a little. This goal is precisely the famous Abbott company in later generations. In the 1980s, it was still the era of oil. Among the top ten companies in the United States, oil companies accounted for half of the country. But in the 1990s, it will be the time when the biopharmaceutical field will explode. It will be too late to re-enter at that time, and it is definitely an appropriate time to enter early. Because nowadays, the biopharmaceutical field has not yet exploded. Even the giants in this industry have a low market value, not even a tens of billions of dollars. It is worth mentioning that the company with the highest market value in the United States is IBM, the blue giant, with a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars. Back to the topic, let''s talk about the biopharmaceutical field. At this time, there are not a few pharmaceutical giants in the United States. It is not Johnson & Johnson, who is in the first place, but Merck, which has a market value of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, and Johnson & Johnson is second. Next, there are companies such as Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Wyeth, Abbott. Yes, although Pfizer is already strong at this time, it is not the next generation of the global pharmaceutical giants, and Wyeth has not been acquired by Pfizer. Among these companies, Xia Yu focused on Abbott, which was ranked ninth in the US pharmaceutical field at this time. Johnson & Johnson has a market value of more than US$300 billion in future generations, which once exceeded US$400 billion, while Pfizer is also hovering at US$300 billion. It stands to reason that these two companies should have the greatest potential and should be the hunting targets. But in fact, Xia Yu passed the two after considering it. There is no way, behind Johnson & Johnson is a large consortium, which he can''t afford to provoke. Johnson & Johnson is developing well at this time, and consortiums that don''t lack money will not sell it. As for Pfizer, the next generation of Viagra became popular globally, but it is still more than ten years before Viagra was developed. Moreover, Xia Yu also knows that Pfizer¡¯s future market value is very high, but that high market value is piled up with huge capital. Pfizer can sit in that position entirely through mergers and acquisitions, otherwise it will rely solely on Viagra. The medicine can''t support this height. The history of the rise of Pfizer is a history of mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical field. Since 1999, Pfizer has acquired Warner Lambert, Pharmacia, and Wyeth with a large amount of money, and obtained a large number of high-quality brand-name drugs, each of which can be ordered. In the top 10 of the history of pharmaceutical companies'' mergers and acquisitions, the total value is 244.1 billion US dollars! Among them, the acquisition of Warner Lambert was the largest acquisition in the history of pharmaceuticals before Xia Yu was reborn! Leaving aside future generations, the current Pfizer company is also immersed in diversification. It is constantly acquiring companies. From the outside world, Pfizer cannot be called a qualified pharmaceutical company. Because Pfizer invests only 5% in scientific research, which is far less than the 9% of Merck and Johnson. Pfizer¡¯s sinking lasted for ten years. It was not until the lack of scientific research results and the shortcomings of new drugs became apparent, and it reinvested in the research and development of new drugs. This was the successful launch of Viagra in 1998. So at this time, Xia Yu didn''t want to mess with Pfizer. Pfizer, which has been thinking about buying and buying, may not accept his acquisition. In that case, why should he be thankless? There is still a long time to come, there will always be a suitable opportunity to do it again! As for why other companies did not choose Abbott, it was because, besides Johnson & Johnson, Abbott had the greatest potential! In the second half of this year, Dr. George B. Latman, who worked for Abbott, will leave and create the next generation billion-dollar giant Amgen. Amgen is also one of the top ten US pharmaceutical companies. Then in 2011, Abbott spun out an AbbVie company internally, and its market value broke through 100 billion U.S. dollars after being listed separately, making it one of the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the United States. As for Abbott, its market value is more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Before AbbVie, it was located in the sixth or seventh American pharmaceutical company. Calculating carefully, Abbott, which has a market value of only 2.8 billion U.S. dollars, has been able to emerge because of it three hundred billion or more companies ~ www.novelhall.com ~ occupying three positions among the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the United States. If the three companies add up, their market value will surpass that of Johnson & Johnson, the strongest pharmaceutical company in the United States. And these three companies did not rise through mergers and acquisitions like Pfizer, but developed step by step. Although mergers and acquisitions will occur in the middle, they mainly engage in R&D and development. The potential is not worse than that of Johnson & Johnson. The market value is now much lower than that of Johnson & Johnson. The point is that it is not controlled by the top ten consortia in the United States and the difficulty of acquisition is much lower than that of Johnson & Johnson. Xia Yu would not choose it unless he was stupid! In addition to being strong in the pharmaceutical field, Abbott is also strong in the field of milk powder, making it one of the three giants in the US milk powder market today. In the US milk powder market, the three giants from big to small are Wyeth Group, Abbott and Mead Johnson, and the next-tier is Garbo. Wyeth Group has overwhelmed Abbott in the pharmaceutical field or in the milk powder field, but Xia Yu did not consider acquiring Wyeth Group. In any industry, the difficulty and cost of acquiring the second child are even smaller. Strictly speaking, Abbott is not so much a pharmaceutical company as it is a healthcare company, because its products involve the fields of nutrition, drugs, medical devices, diagnostic instruments and reagents. After determining the target, Xia Yu immediately convened the company''s high-level meeting, once again formed the acquisition team, and made every effort to prepare the acquisition plan. At the same time, considering the subsequent actions, the number of companies at this time is far from enough. Xia Yu once again urged Korn Ferry to hire Polaris Capital to have M&A experience in biopharmaceuticals, finance, media and high-tech fields. Of the elite. The acquisition of Abbott is a major task, but it is definitely not the only task! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 764: Another future giant got it When it comes to the acquisition of stocks of listed companies, Polaris Capital must have a dedicated financial investment department. Apart from Xia Yu, no one in the company is more suitable than the future Wall Street investment guru Peter Lynch to build the financial investment department. Peter Lynch can only work harder, while taking care of the overall work, he spends a little time thinking about his own business. The formation of multiple departments at the same time and the preparation of the acquisition plan for Abbott have made Polaris Capital run at a high speed. The preliminary work of the acquisition is destined to take some time, which is not worthy of Xia Yu''s attention. But he was not lazy, and he was ready to hurry up, and at the same time he started working on Abbott. The target was Dr. George B. Ratman, the founder of Amgen. But he didn''t know this big cow, so he came to Genentech and found Professor Herb Boyle in the laboratory. "Professor Herb Boyle, do you know Dr. George B. Ratman at Abbott?" Professor Herb Boyle turned off the faucet, dried the water in his hand with a towel, and looked at Xia Yu in doubt: "Of course I know that he is very good in the field of blood and tumors. We have also discussed in depth together, Mr. Xia. , Did you ask him for anything?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I think he is a very good scientist. If his research can be realized, it will benefit the world. I want to talk to him. Can you recommend me?" Professor Herb Boyle suddenly said with a smile: "Of course it''s okay. I think Dr. George B. Ratman will be surprised." "Of course, I can''t think of any reason why he can refuse, after all, every scientist wants to be able to complete his own research!" "Mr. Xia, I will contact him first, and I will tell you if I am sure, are you free during this time?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "I''m free anytime, I''ll trouble you!" "No trouble, it''s a matter of effort!" ... Two days later, in a secluded coffee shop in San Francisco, Xia Yu met Dr. George B. Ratman, who was about 40 years old. After leading Xia Yu to meet him, Professor Herb Boyle chatted with Dr. George B. Ratman and left early. His task has been completed. As for the chat between Xia Yu and Dr. George B. Latman, he felt it was inconvenient to listen, and his time was also precious. "Dr. Ratman, nice to meet you, my name is Xia Yu and I am the chairman of Polaris Capital!" "Hello, Mr. Xia!" After shaking hands and saying hello, the two sat down face to face, and then ordered a cup of coffee. Xia Yu took the lead and said, "Dr. Ratman, I think Professor Herb Boyle should have told you something before, right?" Thinking of what Professor Herb Boyle told him when he found him before, Dr. George B. Ratman was slightly excited, nodded and said, "Yes, he told me something." In fact, when Professor Herb Boyle found him yesterday and told him about this, he was very excited, and he felt stunned by a pie falling from the sky. God knows how much he envied Professor Herb Boyle when he learned that Polaris Capital had acquired Genentech. He didn''t expect that the **** of luck would come to him soon. And looking at Dr. Ratman¡¯s expression, Xia Yu also had a certain bottom in his heart, stating: "Dr. Ratman, I have a certain understanding of you. You have deep research in blood and tumors. Now in the world Scientists in China are far from exploring these two fields. Countless people have lost their claims because of blood diseases and malignant tumors. I hope I can do something for this world." "I listed many scientists in these two fields, but in the end, I chose you for the time being. I think you can also be like Professor Herb Boyle. What do you think?" Xia Yu said this because he didn''t want to be too eager to prevent George B. Ratman from having extra thoughts and affecting his interests. George B. Ratman looked solemn and thanked Xia Yu before saying: "Mr. Xia, I am honored to be recognized by you. I have done some research on blood and tumors, and I have also proposed to Abbott. I have applied, but unfortunately I did not get enough funds." "I would love to cooperate with you, but before that, I want to hear your plan." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course, it should be." "We will register and establish a biotechnology company and then hire you as the head of scientific research, but you will own the company''s equity. As for the shareholding ratio, it will be negotiated based on the value provided by both of us. What do you think?" After speaking, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Dr. George B. Ratman, who frowned slightly. Xia Yu didn¡¯t want to engage in venture capital, because he knew the value of Dr. George B. Ratman¡¯s head, so he wanted to tie up Dr. George B. Ratman¡¯s amount and also own pharmaceutical companies as much as possible. More equity. He is not short of money at all. If, like Genentech, a venture capital of 100,000 U.S. dollars at its establishment, a small amount of equity, and then again and again to spend large amounts of money to raise funds, this is the least worthwhile. After all, George B. Ratman is different from Professor Herb Boyle, because when the latter founded the company, he was already a Nobel Prize winner, possessed certain patents, and was highly sought after by capital. But George B. Latman is different. Although he is famous, he is not too big. It is definitely not as good as Nobel Prize winners. Secondly, he has no patents. It is only in blood and blood. The field of oncology has gone far. Different strengths lead to different confidence in the negotiations. That''s why Xia Yu came up with this plan. It is even more a joke to agree on the equity based on the value provided by both parties. George B. Latman, who has not yet come up with a patent, will definitely be at a disadvantage. The equity that can be obtained will not be too much, but he has to be tied to the company. Xia Yu''s heart is black! Xia Yu¡¯s words made George B. Latman gradually calm his heart. He carefully considered the meaning of Xia Yu¡¯s words, and after thinking for a long time, did he pluck up the courage to ask: "Mr. Xia, why can¡¯t you talk to Genentech Is it the same?" Xia Yu spread his hand and said confidently: "Dr. George B. Latman, you may not know much about us at Polaris Capital. We are not such a small character. If we are not humble, we are not short of money and time. Is the most precious." "Do you want to slow down the progress of research due to the poor conditions of scientific research at the beginning?" "Your age at this time is the peak period of your life. I personally think that you should clear all obstacles for you and be able to devote yourself to research. We are willing to gamble for you!" When he said this, Xia Yu''s eyes were burning, and he looked directly into George B. Ratman''s eyes. George B. Ratman looked solemn, his thoughts were struggling from gains and losses, and he thought of the dilemma of insufficient funds he had repeatedly faced when he was at Abbott, and his original intention to engage in scientific research. After a long time, he calmed down and looked at Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, you are right. For me, time is the most precious Just follow your plan, and thank you. Recognition of me! I will do my best not to let you suffer losses!" Xia Yu smiled, got up and stretched out his hand to Dr. George B. Ratman, who also got up and held Xia Yu''s hand tightly. "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" ... Dr. George B. Ratman is also the character of Lei Lingfeng, and he also has his own professional ethics. Now that he has decided, he immediately submitted a letter of resignation to Abbott, and then fully negotiated with Polaris Capital. The content of the negotiation is very complicated, including but not limited to the amount of investment, equity allocation, company location, etc. After three days, all the content was negotiated. The new company was finally determined to be Amgen, Polaris invested 19 million US dollars as the company¡¯s start-up capital, and Dr. George B. Latman invested in shares at his own value for one million US dollars. Amgen¡¯s total value is 20 million U.S. dollars. Polaris holds 95% of the shares and Dr. George B. Ratman holds 5% of the shares. As for the location of the company, San Francisco was not chosen, but Thousand Oaks, California, with a strong academic atmosphere, which is close to the University of California and California Institute of Technology. After the company was registered, 19 million US dollars of funds were immediately credited to the company''s account, and Dr. George B. Ratman rushed to Thousand Oaks with enthusiasm to start planning and building his own laboratory. Another biopharmaceutical company with great potential has arrived! As long as Dr. George B. Ratman remains stupid under better conditions, then this investment will definitely not lose!

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 765: A good opportunity to join CNN In the wealthy area of ??Atherton in the South Bay of San Francisco, after Xia Yu finished Tai Chi, he took out the newspaper of the day from the mailbox at the door and walked along the cobblestone road to the villa while watching. This mansion was Xia Yu¡¯s home in San Francisco. He had just moved in for three days. He had been in charge of replacing the house with an intermediary company before. Before moving in, Xia Yu stayed in a five-star hotel. Atherton is a well-known affluent area in the South Bay of San Francisco, with complete infrastructure, so housing prices here are relatively high. This mansion, covering an area of ??1.88 acres (11.4 acres), is considered a first-class mansion in Atherton District. Xia Yu spent $1.7 million to purchase it. However, after moving in, Xia Yu felt that the US$1.7 million was very worthwhile, and that this mansion would be worth more than US$10 million in future generations. Xia Yu drank the warm milk, picked up a snack and put it in his mouth, looking at the newspaper on the table. At this moment, a piece of news above came into view, and Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned it carefully. "Crazy Ted Turner! Take the American Communications Commission to court! ¡· The content of the news was written by Ted Turner, the owner of the Turner Broadcasting Corporation, who took the American Communications Commission to court, and also clearly stated the cause and effect, so that even readers who have not paid attention to the whole story can understand it. Ted Turner is a well-known American media magnate who runs Atlanta TV and Channel 17 in the next city. His Turner Broadcasting Company is also an advertising giant in the southeastern United States, with a company value of up to 40 million US dollars. Of course, compared to the Big Three in the US, Turner Broadcasting is undoubtedly a kid at this time. The reason why Ted Turner gets so much media attention is that he has done incredible things. Before 1970, Ted Turner didn¡¯t even know anything about TV, but he bought the loss-making Atlanta TV station for US$2.5 million. After a loss of several million US dollars, he just developed the TV station. And he also categorically opposes news. If it weren''t for the U.S. Communications Commission''s requirement that U.S. television stations must broadcast more than seven hours of news a day, it is estimated that Ted Turner''s television station would not be able to broadcast it for a minute. But it is such a person who opposes news. When the Turner Broadcasting Company is developing well, he suddenly wants to establish a cable news network to continuously broadcast major events at home and abroad through satellite and cable 24 hours a day. The contrast is too big, it''s completely turned 180 degrees! Nowadays, everyone knows that TV news doesn¡¯t make money at all. News programs have always been a public service in order to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Communications Commission, while Turner does news and broadcasts on a 24-hour rolling basis. There is also a profit. Isn''t this the biggest joke in the world? In addition, because of Turner''s impatience and many sharp criticisms of the media in the past, major television networks and media are all mocking him and waiting to see his failure. Even within the Turner Broadcasting Company, there are employees who stand up and accuse Ted Turner''s approach of destroying everyone together. The U.S. Communications Commission¡¯s refusal to grant Turner Broadcasting Corporation the right to use satellite launches even hindered the implementation of Ted Turner¡¯s ideas. Who knows that Ted Turner was too persistent and took the US Communications Commission directly to court. Now many media are paying attention to this matter and the final result. Many people are looking forward to the failure of Ted Turner, who made him offend too many people in the past because of his irritable character! What''s more, there is business competition and the like. "Ted Turner..." Xia Yu swallowed his snack, drank a sip of milk, squinted slightly, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. Xia Yu from later generations knows what will happen to Ted Turner. There is no doubt that this time, he succeeded. Not only did he agree to the lawsuit, he also built CNN. And in the end, Turner Broadcasting Corporation, CNN, also developed into the nation''s largest cable news network, competing with the original three major television network giants. Only in 1996, Ted Turner sold Turner Broadcasting Company to Time Warner for $7.5 billion. As for himself, he went to enjoy life, chase dreams, and go sailing. Now, it is the lowest point in Ted Turner¡¯s future life. In order to engage CNN, he smashed the mortgage loan from the Iron and Bank of Canada, and collected 35 million US dollars to invest in it, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. . If the lawsuit with the American Communications Commission is lost, then Ted Turner will have nothing and lose everything! The media questioned him, his peers mocked him, there were many internal contradictions, and the suppression from the US Communications Commission, all kinds of pressures on him, he has nowhere to go! "At this time, if someone can support his idea and carry it with him, he will definitely be ecstatic!" "I like to do charcoal in the snow!" Thinking of this, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth evokes a curve, and he has decided to go to Atlanta to give Ted Turner''s loving care. Since he was going to carry it with Ted Turner, if Xia Yu didn''t take a stake in his company, it would be totally insincere! It just so happens that his media empire should not be limited to the field of paper media anymore! After eating early, Xia Yu drove to Polaris Capital Company, and then ordered people to collect all the information about Turner Broadcasting Company and Ted Turner within two days. Driven by capital, all Xia Yu wanted was presented to him. After reading it, he took a few subordinates and flew to Atlanta. ... Atlanta is located in the eastern United States, on the plateau of the Appalachian foothills at an altitude of 350 meters. It is one of the three highland cities in the United States and the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States. It is also the capital and largest industrial and commercial city of Georgia. In the early part of the last century, Atlanta was established and still exists as a railway hub. Although it was destroyed during the Civil War, it was quickly rebuilt after being selected as the capital of Georgia. This place, the birthplace and main activity place of the black leader Martin Luther King, naturally became the center of the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. In addition, Atlanta is also the gathering place for the ten richest people in the United States. Atlanta has a subtropical humid climate with four distinct seasons. It is April in the solar calendar, which is a good season for travel. When Xia Yu arrived in Atlanta, there were colorful flowers, green grasses and lush forests everywhere, and the air quality was high. Xia Yu is a senior member of the Hilton Hotel. He came here and naturally stayed in the Hilton Hotel, and then sent his subordinates out to learn about the actual situation of Turner Broadcasting Company. Although a thick pile of data has been collected, the information is time-sensitive, and it may not be 100% accurate now. Fortunately, Ted Turner is a celebrity in Atlanta, and it is easy to inquire about his whereabouts. After reading the information, Xia Yu felt relieved, planning to take a break today, and go directly to the door tomorrow. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 766: The true foundation of the media empire "Tuk Tuk!" "Chairman, the guests you have agreed with are here!" In the office of the chairman of the Turner Broadcasting Company, Ted Turner was looking sad, holding a pen to write and stop. At this moment, a knock on the door sounded and the voice of subordinates came from outside, awakening Ted Turner. . Thinking of the previous appointment called Polaris Capital, Ted Turner looked out the door, and there seemed to be a few figures. He put away his sad expression, straightened his clothes and said, "Please come in!" After a while, Xia Yu brought in his two subordinates. Seeing that it was a young Asian, Ted Turner was surprised, but his face was calm. He didn''t know about Polaris Capital, even after Xia Yu''s subordinates made an appointment with him, he didn''t want to know about it. Anyway, his time is precious, so he has something to say in person. "Hello, Mr. Ted Turner, let me introduce myself first. My name is Xia Yu. I am a Chinese American. I am now the chairman of Polaris Capital." When Xia Yu shook hands with Ted Turner, he smiled and introduced. This Chinese American is so young that he is the chairman of Polaris Capital? Ted Turner was amazed. He did not despise Xia Yu''s identity as a Chinese-American, but instead paid much attention to it. "Hello, Mr. Xia, you are welcome! Please sit down!" Ted Turner said with a smile, then shook hands with Xia Yu''s two subordinates and nodded. "What can I do?" "Anything! The same with them!" "Ok!" "Jack, some lattes!" ... When his subordinates went to brew coffee, Ted Turner looked back at Xia Yu and asked: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know much about your company. Can you tell me about it?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course no problem!" "Polaris Capital is located in San Francisco. Its main business is to invest in companies with potential. You haven''t heard of it. It''s normal because the company was just established last month, but it has already completed two investments." Speaking of this, facing Ted Turner''s focused sight, Xia Yu confidently said: "One of them, which reached 170 million US dollars, was just completed more than ten days ago!" 170 million dollars! As soon as this number came out, Ted Turner''s pupils shrank, and he paid more attention to Polaris Capital in his heart. At the same time, an idea that made him feel unbelievable also appeared in his mind. Xia Yu said that the main business of Polaris Capital is to invest in companies with potential. Now he sells almost everything he can sell. Several teams are sold, leaving only the equity of Turner Broadcasting Company. Even for these shares, many of them took bank mortgages to develop the company''s cable news network. Xia Yu and others came up, do they recognize CNN? The more I think about it, the more impetuous Ted Turner''s heart becomes. Fortunately, he knew what the occasion was, and forced himself to calm down. He fixed his eyes on Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, your company is very strong, but I don¡¯t know if you came to our company this time. what?" After finishing talking, Ted Turner, who has experienced great storms and is still a multi-millionaire, still raised his heart involuntarily. It''s really because he has been under too much pressure in the past few months, and it is about to choke him. It seems that the whole world is questioning him, the world is dark, and he is the only one who walks alone! This feeling of loneliness and abandonment is something most ordinary people can''t resist, and because of his childhood experience, his temper is more violent, so he is more emotionally sensitive. Now it is the paranoid force in his heart that supports him to continue fighting. But if someone is standing next to him at this time, even if he just pats him on the shoulder and says "Come on, man, I am optimistic about you!", it can refresh him. Ted Turner''s performance was as expected before Xia Yu came. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Ted Turner, you may not believe what I said, but the truth is so magical. Three days ago, I didn''t know you at all, and I didn''t know Turner Broadcasting Company." Xia Yu''s words made Ted Turner frowned, but he still listened quietly. "But three days ago in the morning, I accidentally read the newspaper and saw news related to you. Your experience shocked me. What I admire more is your choice and perseverance." "After that, it will be the cable news network you want to build. Although no one is optimistic about your behavior, I think this is a great business idea. Maybe it will create a new model for the media field. !" "So I''m here, I want to witness it with my own eyes and talk to you." The smile on Ted Turner''s face could not be concealed, and his heart was very excited. He said loudly, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition. You are the first person to recognize me after I made this decision! I''m really honored!" "In fact, although everyone dislikes me and thinks that broadcasting news 24 hours a day is not profitable, not many people are willing to spend money to subscribe to boring news programs, but I think everything is possible!" "As long as I build the TV News Network, the market will definitely change and opportunities will always be found!" "And now the three major television networks in the United States have ruled the television market and are strong in various programming fields. Although my company has developed well in the field of television stations, it takes too much capital to break through their blockade and catch up with them. , I can''t do it at all!" "The only chance is the news programs that are regarded as cumbersome by the three major TV networks. As long as I achieve the ultimate in news and create a national cable news network, I will have room and foundation for fighting... " Ted Turner finally met a bosom friend who was still likely to invest in him. After a few months of depression, he broke out in an instant. He talked about his views endlessly, and he felt like slamming Fang Qiu. Xia Yu listened with a smile and nodded from time to time, perfectly fulfilling his identity as a listener. When Ted Turner talked about dry mouth and drinking coffee, Xia Yu seized the opportunity to say: "Mr. Ted Turner, your ideas are very unique. Many of my views are consistent with yours. Now CBS, The rule of ABC and NBC is unbreakable. They have ruled this market for decades. Newcomers who want to enter will encounter various obstacles." "However, the field of news programs is an area where the three major television networks are not profitable, and they have not received enough attention. This opportunity has always existed and many people have been discovered. But so far, only those who dare to take action and gamble. you." "I support your action. First, create features that the three major TV networks cannot catch up. Users who like to watch news will gradually be contended. Even if the news program loses money at the beginning, as long as you gain a little bit of users, you will have a profitable day. And when users have accumulated to a certain stage, they can open new channels and use the proceeds of other programs to make up for it." Ted Turner nodded his head: "Yes, I think so too." At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly said: "But the premise is to be able to bear the loss and live to that time." Ted Turner was taken aback, the smile on his face narrowed, looked at Xia Yu, and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, you are right, no matter whether the future is bright or not, you can only have a chance to reap success when you live there. " He laughed at himself: "The outside media and colleagues are still laughing at me for not being able to do anything, and I am definitely looking forward to the day when I lose money to bankruptcy." Xia Yu immediately said: "Mr. Ted Turner, you have a financial defect. I can help you. I am willing to act with you and fight everyone in the face!" "And let''s not tell you, I also own a news agency, which is now spread all over the world. Many TV stations and newspapers in Asia are my clients. News networks need to broadcast news 24 hours a day, and they need too much news material. I can greatly Improve the shortcomings of news networks." Xia Yu''s words made Ted Turner''s eyes brighten. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to have a worldwide news agency. This was really an unexpected surprise. As Xia Yu said, in order for news networks to stand out, they must at least have enough news, either build their own editorial team or buy them from other news agencies. But building an editorial team is not a matter of a short while, and it also requires huge capital. He can''t get it at all and can only do it step by step. As for buying news from other news agencies, it is even more undesirable. The cost is only one aspect. The most important thing is that news is not exclusive and it is difficult to pursue breaking news. Why does his news web talk stand out? But if Xia Yu is a shareholder of News.com, then News.com can fully cooperate with Xia Yu''s news agency, the cost will be greatly reduced, and some privileges can be obtained, and the exclusive news is here! This huge news resource can greatly reduce the early operating costs of the news network, allowing the news network to survive the most difficult period and last longer! With Xia Yu''s capital, he also has more strength and energy to fight the US Communications Commission. This kind of advantage attracts Ted Turner too much. Ted Turner did not cover up, and actively invited and said: "Mr. Xia, I think we can talk about cooperation." Xia Yu smiled immediately: "Mr. Ted Turner, then let''s start." Next, Ted Turner called out several of his capable subordinates, and then began to negotiate with Xia Yu. Lang Youqing concubine intentionally, coupled with the fact that he is still in a lawsuit, he has not even obtained the right to use the satellite. Therefore, Ted Turner was not aggressive on equity He was also afraid of scaring Xia Yu away. And he also knows that Xia Yu knows the reality of Turner Broadcasting Company. After all, under the attention of many media, Turner Broadcasting Company has been smashed. Even if he wants to talk about it, it will not work. In this case, the negotiations proceeded extremely smoothly. Both Xia Yu and Ted Turner were able to act arbitrarily. They were completely masters, saving a lot of time, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement. The result of the cooperation came out the next day. Turner Broadcasting Company accepted the capital injection from Polaris Capital. The company was valued at US$40 million. Polaris Capital injected US$30 million to obtain a 42.86% equity ratio. Ted Turner will assist Xia Yu in the acquisition. The other shareholders¡¯ equity raises Polaris Capital¡¯s shareholding ratio to 49%, and Ted Turner holds the remaining 51%. The agreement also stipulates that no matter which party wants to sell the equity, it will have the right of first refusal if the price is the same. In addition, Polaris Capital has to borrow another 20 million US dollars to the Turner Broadcasting Company. In this way, Turner Broadcasting Company will have 70 to 80 million US dollars in funds to build a national news network and build a world news editing team. As long as CNN successfully rises, Xia Yu''s media empire will be greatly enhanced. And when Ted Turner''s mind is going to pursue his dream, his equity will naturally fall into Xia Yu''s hands. Until then, Xia Yu also has the strength and confidence to hold CNN, and there is no need for Ted Turner, an American Jew, to be at the forefront.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 767: 0 sales giant The cooperation between Polaris Capital and Turner Broadcasting Company was carried out in secret, and there was no public announcement. Turner Broadcasting Company is not a listed company, and there is no need for public announcements. After the cooperation was completed, Xia Yu''s relationship with Ted Turner went further. Coupled with the same views between the two, Ted Turner felt like Xia Yu hit it off. To this end, Ted Turner also invited Xia Yu to eat at his home, and planned to take Xia Yu around Atlanta. However, Xia Yu rejected Ted Turner''s kindness. After all, now Turner Broadcasting Company has not stopped the lawsuit because of Xia Yu''s capital injection. Ted Turner has to win the lawsuit first. If the lawsuit is not won, nothing is worthwhile. Even if he injects more money, the CNN will not be established. If you can''t build a national cable news network, Turner Broadcasting Company will not be able to follow the original historical track, and Xia Yu''s calculations will fail. As for the Atlanta TV station currently owned by the company, as well as several local TV stations such as Channel 17, although the value is good, the effect on Xia Yu is far inferior to that of CNN that has not yet existed. However, Xia Yu did his best. He had already contacted Yan Wenhan in New York by phone and asked him to send someone over to connect with Turner Broadcasting Company to see if there was a suitable opportunity to cooperate with the TV station. For example, Xia Yu bought a large newspaper in Atlanta in advance, and then relied on the development of the Atlanta TV station, and was inherently invincible. Although he declined Ted Turner''s hospitality, Xia Yu still accepted his help, such as providing a vehicle to facilitate his travel. Although the purpose of coming has been achieved, Xia Yu does not intend to leave immediately. Atlanta is one of the top ten largest cities in the United States. There are a lot of companies, such as Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, United Parcel Service, and Holiday Inn. As for small and medium-sized companies, there are even more. Among these small and medium-sized companies today, there must be a giant seedling in the future. If you can find one and take the opportunity to win it, it will make a lot of money! Let his subordinates drive the car and stroll around Atlanta slowly. Xia Yu sat in the back row and looked around through the window of the car, catching all kinds of signs and trademarks one by one. Of course, he did not inform his subordinates of this purpose. Before he knew it, it was approaching noon, and the car was driving a little remote. Xia Yu decisively stopped his plan to continue driving to the suburbs, and was about to find a good restaurant to enjoy lunch. Just as Xia Yu just parked his car and exited the tunnel on the other side of the underground garage, a huge shop on the opposite street attracted his attention. It was a supermarket. From Xia Yu''s perspective, we could see that its outer length reached more than 20 meters, but its height was only four to five meters high, which looked like a factory building. But this is not the point, the point is the name of the supermarket¡ª¡ª! Chinese translation name-Home Depot! With a market value of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, it is the second largest retailer in the United States after Wal-Mart and the largest home furnishing retailer in the United States. It is a household goods supermarket selling tools, building materials, flooring, paint, plumbing, gardening supplies and plants. Xia Yu stared at the name closely, and his brain turned frantically, recalling memories of Home Depot. It seems that Home Depot was founded in 1978, and the company is headquartered in Atlanta. It is one of the giant companies that Atlanta is proud of. In this way, Home Depot has only been established for about two years. It has only been established for two years, and it is definitely a seedling company. It is hard to say whether it has stepped out of Atlanta. But the value of this seedling is huge. Xia Yu estimates that there should be no company with greater potential than Home Depot in Atlanta. Now that I found it, I must not let go! His Jiuding consortium has decided that the retail industry is the core pillar, the world''s largest retailer of building materials and home furnishings in the future. Previously, he ordered his subordinates to acquire the Swedish IKEA Group, but the IKEA Group did not give him a chance. There was no alternative. He could only register and establish the Jiaranzhijia brand, intending to run a giant in building materials and home furnishing retail. However, the home is located in Hong Kong, backed by the barren and chaotic Southeast Asia, it is destined to be more difficult to rise, and if it wants to develop into a world giant, it will eventually enter the European and American markets, especially the US market. At that time, it will have to compete with the American home building materials retail giants, which is risky and costly. But if one can be established in the United States at this time, it is better to directly capture the world''s number one home building materials market in the future. "Since I found out, I won''t be in a hurry for a couple of days. Don''t fight insecure battles. Collect enough business information first!" "Now we still sacrifice to the five internal organs temple first." Thinking of this, Xia Yu retracted his gaze and led a group of people to find a high-end restaurant for lunch. After lunch, the car galloped towards the residence, and then Xia Yu ordered his subordinates to collect relevant business information about Home Depot, and he continued to search for valuable information in his memory. In a blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash. Xia Yu not only did it himself, but also asked his subordinates to entrust a commercial investigation company to investigate. After understanding the information, he drove to the main store of the Home Depot Department Store, which is the largest in Atlanta. Although the Home Depot Company was established in 1978, it was just an ordinary hardware store at the beginning. It was not until May 1979 that it formally found the correct route for future generations and opened the first family department store, which Xia Yu saw a few days ago. The one. At that time, Home Depot was not strong enough, so department stores could only be opened on the fringes of cities where store rental costs were lower. At this time, after nearly a year of development, although Home Depot has not yet made it out of Atlanta, it has opened a third department store and embarked on a chain road. It has already gained a lot of fame in Atlanta. When Xia Yu came to the main store of Home Depot , they unexpectedly found that they were engaged in activities, which was very lively. A huge stage was built at the door and many people were watching. Xia Yu quietly left, and saw the complete content on the advertising cloth-The First Home Depot Product Knowledge and Skills Seminar. After watching it quietly, he understood the process. This is indeed a knowledge and skills seminar, and it is also customer-oriented and society-oriented. Anyone can come to the stage to tell about their own experience, such as which tools are better to repair the roof, how to repair it and so on. If the idea is good and everyone agrees, Home Depot will give away a set of valuable home improvement tools. Xia Yu could not help but secretly nodded. The product knowledge and skill seminar allowed customers to participate, which would greatly shorten the relationship with customers and attract more loyal customers. In addition, the Home Depot Company can best understand the difficulties and needs of customers, and use the public''s brains to help the Home Depot Company''s operations. Very clever means! This model is an important magic weapon for Home Depot to stand out. It''s just that in later generations, the forms have become more diverse, and at this time it is still very simple, but the essence has been included. The path is right from the beginning, and the difficulty of success will be greatly reduced! Looking here for a while, Xia Yu only saw Bernie Marcus, one of the founders of Home Depot, and he was not available yet. As for the other founder, Arthur Blank, he is not here. Now that they have another seminar, Xia Yu can only slow down and walked towards the store with people, intending to learn more about Home Depot''s business model. PS: Ask for votes! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 768: Arthur Blanks attitude As soon as I entered, I saw a layout different from ordinary department store retail supermarkets. Some shelves are very tall, at least two meters long, and most people can''t reach them. But there are all kinds of boards, water pipes and the like, and price signs on the shelves. Because the plates, water pipes, etc. are placed, all aisles are also very large, close to two meters, which is more convenient for placement and transportation. Of course, this is an area such as building materials. It is different when you go to other small and medium-sized tool areas, and they are more closely placed. A box of screws, a wrench, screwdriver, tape measure, etc. are placed on the shelf. In addition, there are paints, brushes, glues, etc. Anyway, with building materials, home improvement, gardening, etc., there are everything here, the varieties are very complete, it is like a large wholesale home building materials market. Of course, it is the elite model of Home Depot to build an intensive hypermarket with a variety of products and price advantages. Xia Yu wandered inside the Home Depot mall, and another impression was that the passenger flow was much less than that of ordinary supermarkets. However, it is normal to think about it. Different products are sold, and customers'' purchase methods and time consumed are also different. Xia Yu took a few subordinates and bodyguards, wherever he went, there were a group of people, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. The agile staff quietly reported to their superiors and suspected that a super client had come. They bring bodyguards when they go out, and they still walk around in the mall. The staff can''t think about that. After a while, a middle-aged white man with two subordinates appeared from a corner and walked towards Xia Yu and others. At the reminder of his subordinates, Xia Yu looked over, raised his brows slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He recognized the person who took the lead. He just finished reading the photos today. It is another of the founders of Home Depot, Arthur Blank, who is also the CEO of Home Depot. "Hello, gentleman, what can I do for you?" Arthur Blank stopped in front of Xia Yu and asked with a smile. Xia Yu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Arthur Blank!" Arthur Blank was a little surprised. He didn''t expect to be recognized by Xia Yu all at once. He recalled his memory and seemed to have never contacted any Asian. Arthur Blank asked with a raised eyebrow: "This gentleman, I wonder if you are?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "My name is Xia Yu, and I am the chairman of Polaris Capital." "Our company''s business is mainly to invest in companies with potential! This time I just passed by here, and I saw your company holding a product knowledge and skill seminar. If I was curious, I would come and have a look." As soon as the words fell, Arthur Blank looked surprised and immediately smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, hello, welcome to you!" "Mr. Blank, hello!" Xia Yu looked at Arthur Blank with a smile and asked, "Mr. Blank, is it convenient for you to show us around? In San Francisco and New York, although there are shops such as tools and building materials, I just saw Now, your store seems to be very different from those traditional stores." Although not a major customer, Arthur Blank was of course very happy to face the request of the chairman of the capital investment company. He welcomes capital very much. After all, to open such a hypermarket, the capital needed is too much, and he is able to open the company and capital is indispensable. Rejecting capital is ruining one''s own future. After all, if the opponent accepts the support of capital, he can definitely come from behind and crush oneself. At the beginning, after he and Bernie Marcus were fired from the hardware department of the original group, they used their savings to set up the Home Depot Company. They also looked for investors everywhere, including a supplier of home building materials. In total, hundreds of people were found to get the funds. When they first opened the store, because the store was very large, they did not have enough funds to buy goods that could fill all the shelves. They also found a pile of empty cardboard boxes with dealer logo stickers from the dealer, and then put the empty cardboard boxes Going to the top of the shelf makes consumers feel that the Home Depot mall really has a lot of inventory. Although I have passed that stage temporarily, there are still big shortcomings in the inventory. Now the company is trying its best to use the current status and future of hot sales to stabilize the dealers, otherwise the Home Depot company can credit so much goods. Warehousing and inventory are a large part of retail costs. If there is enough capital, Home Depot will definitely be able to quickly catalyze it. He and Bernie Marcus were able to accept more than one hundred investors, which naturally showed his welcoming attitude towards capital. Next, he took Xia Yu to stroll around in the mall. When answering Xia Yu''s questions, he also described the advantages and development model of Home Depot, and wanted to show the most attractive side of Home Depot. Throughout the process, Xia Yu seemed very patient, and from time to time he admired the Home Depot company''s model, which made Arthur Blank feel good. Before they knew it, everyone came to Arthur Blank''s office and took a break for coffee. "Mr. Xia, I have a certain understanding of Atlanta Capital Corporation. It seems that I have never seen your company before." Arthur Blank asked euphemistically, looking straight at Xia Yu. Xia Yu heard the words, put down the cup, and smiled calmly: "Mr. Blank, my company is not in Atlanta, but in San Francisco. It''s normal if you haven''t heard of it. I also came to Atlanta this week." "I just invested 50 million US dollars in Turner Broadcasting Company a few days ago. Of course, this news is not known from the outside. Please keep it secret." Arthur Blank''s eyes widened and he asked incredulously: "50 million dollars to invest in Turner Broadcasting Company?" As an entrepreneur, newspapers are a must, and Turner Broadcasting Company is Atlanta''s media giant, it is difficult for him to understand. It is precisely because of knowing too much about Turner Broadcasting Company that Arthur Blank could not believe it. Now even ordinary citizens are not optimistic about Turner Broadcasting Company, thinking that Ted Turner has gone the wrong way, waiting for him to hit the wall. But now I suddenly learned about this news, it is too hot, if it spreads out, it will definitely cause a huge public opinion sensation! Of course, he will not say to the outside world, now he is more concerned about the strength of Polaris Capital. If you can easily take out 50 million dollars to bet on Turner Broadcasting Company, your strength is definitely strong. These 50 million dollars are enough to buy two or three Home Depot companies. After all, Home Depot now owns three shopping malls, and the monthly net profit earned for the company is only about 150,000 US dollars. It is estimated that it is less than 2 million US dollars in net profit in a year. But like retail companies, as long as they are properly managed, they rely on scale to make profits. The larger the scale, the lower the ratio of compressed costs, the higher the profitability and the larger the scale of profitability. If Home Depot had enough capital, he would have expanded in big strides long ago, which is like using revenue and loans to slowly open new stores. Arthur Blank nodded earnestly and promised: "Mr. Xia, don''t worry, I will keep this secret!" After speaking, Arthur Blank asked with concern: "Mr. Xia, your Polaris Capital Company is so strong, which areas do you generally invest in?" Xia Yu glanced at him and said calmly: "Because the company has relatively abundant funds, there is no limit to which field to invest in As long as it is a company with potential to invest, and it is determined to invest in it, it is generally We are not interested in fighting for small goals, starting at 10 million dollars. Last month, we just invested 170 million dollars in a company called Genentech." Xia Yu performed the same trick again, deliberately showing the strength of Polaris Capital. However, as the saying goes, one trick is eaten all over the world. No matter how old you are, the key is to use it! Sure enough, Arthur Blank was startled again, of course, an information point that Xia Yu deliberately said also made him frown. That''s a ten million dollar investment! This is how to do? The value of Home Depot today is less than $20 million. Even if Polaris Capital has guaranteed a minimum investment of 10 million, the company will have to change its name to Polaris. After all, when the Home Depot Company was founded, they had already received too much capital. Although it was scattered, many of which were investment from suppliers, this could not change the fact that most of the company''s shares were in the hands of other shareholders. He and Bernie Marcus¡¯s combined equity is only 52%! Can be the control company! Of course, although there are many shareholders, their holdings are very scattered, which poses no threat to them. But once the equity is concentrated in one family, it is dangerous for them! Thinking of this, Arthur Blank gradually calmed down. Although Home Depot needs capital investment and Polaris Capital is strong enough, the disadvantages and risks are too great! No matter how much he needs funds, it is impossible to sell the company? The company is not its own, so what is the use of more investment? He and Bernie Marcus have only been struggling to start a business for two years and are planning to run the company wholeheartedly. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 769: Need a bank Seeing the change in Arthur Blank''s attitude, Xia Yu immediately realized that he was scared and tended to shrink. So he immediately adjusted the rhythm, not wanting Arthur Blank to continue to calm down. He changed the subject and asked knowingly: "Mr. Blank, I don''t know how many shareholders does Home Depot currently have?" Arthur Blank thought for a while and said, "A total of one hundred and forty-six including me and Bernie Marcus." This kind of equity distribution is extremely rare for a company that has just been established for two years. Therefore, Xia Yu was surprised and asked doubtfully: "Why are there so many shareholders?" Arthur Blank did not say the real reason. After all, the real reason was that no big capital was willing to invest in them, so he went to make small investments everywhere. He said flatly: "It was mainly to stabilize the supply chain of Home Depot at the beginning, so these shareholders are basically suppliers and invested a little money to occupy a small part of the equity." Xia Yu said with a soft voice, "It turned out to be a strategic investment. It was a very wise choice in the early stage of the company''s development." He changed the conversation and said: "However, there is also a drawback, which will be **** by the supplier and will be affected in the brand selection, which is not good for future competition and external expansion." Arthur Blank was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Xia Yu said that he hadn''t considered it, but at the time the capital was not enough, and he was counting on the supplier to give them credit, and there was no inventory. As for the customers, Home Depot is very dependent on suppliers, and they are taking good care of them. Even now, they are not yet at the stage of back pressure on suppliers. But the retail industry is like this. The upstream has the right to speak when the volume is small, but when the volume is large, because of the importance of the market, the right to choose will naturally come in hand, and it is time for the downstream to judge the upstream. There are not too many cases of later generations of China¡¯s large supermarkets bullying their suppliers, and some suppliers are even dragged down by the supermarkets to bankruptcy. The topic turned to the Home Depot Company. With its current shareholding structure, in the future operations, if the quality of the supplier¡¯s shareholders is not outstanding, but the shareholders¡¯ relationship affects the Home Depot¡¯s choice, it will definitely cause trouble. One or two is okay, like now there are more than one hundred supplier shareholders, the probability of problems is too high, this is a big hidden danger. Moreover, when it comes out of Atlanta and Georgia, the strength of some suppliers may not be able to keep up. If the products are purchased in Atlanta and then shipped to other regions, it will greatly increase logistics and management costs, which is not cost-effective. The logistics cost of building materials is too high! Although this is the case, it is absolutely impossible to admit. Arthur Blank said righteously: "Mr. Xia, we treat every supplier''s choice with extremely strict requirements. So far, There have been no problems." "And in the future, I believe that we will not affect the company''s healthy growth due to personal affair, even if the problem is the minority shareholders!" Xia Yu smiled, did not hold onto this question anymore, felt that the timing was right, and planned to discuss the topic clearly. "Mr. Blank, retail companies have a great demand for capital. I have also learned about your company. Your company has more prominent advantages in management, but the drawbacks of capital are also obvious. I can help you with this. Do you think how about it?" Arthur Blank looked embarrassed and hesitant. Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked bluntly: "Mr. Blank, if there is any difficulty, you may wish to make it clear that any cooperation requires a process of discussion, right?" Arthur Blank nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, you are right, but there is another founder of the company. I am not available for the time being. I have to discuss with him before making a decision." "But before that, I want to ask you a question." Xia Yu leaned forward slightly and said with a please gesture: "Please speak!" Arthur Blank said: "Your company invests in a company, what is its position in this company?" Xia Yu has just seen Arthur Blank''s attitude towards the company''s control, so he will of course pay attention to what he says. He smiled and said: "Our company has always believed that the key to the value of a company lies in its people and management model. Our investment has always been directed at people. As long as we recognize the ability of a person, no matter the size of the company or the At low points, they will choose to invest." "So Mr. Blank doesn¡¯t have to worry about us taking the Home Depot Company. I recognize the abilities of you and Mr. Bernie Marcus. If you two leave, then the Home Depot Company will be of no value in my eyes. ." "Now you have invented the management and operation model of Home Depot. I don''t think anyone in the world can understand it better than you." Upon hearing this, Arthur Blank smiled and thanked Xia Yu: "Thank you for your approval!" Finally, Xia Yu added sincerely: "So, Mr. Blank, even if we invest in the Home Depot Company, we will not interfere with the company¡¯s operations. We will only send people to supervise the finances, and the rest of the management and operation rights. It''s all yours. What we need to do is to give you the greatest support when Home Depot needs funds, so that you can expand without worry!" "Our Polaris Capital Company is just a capital investment company, and we don''t have the ability to manage various companies. With this time and energy, we might as well look for more investment opportunities!" In these two sentences, Xia Yu said that he was sincere, his eyes were as calm as water, and he looked at Arthur Blank calmly. Arthur Blank and Xia Yu looked at each other for a long time, and slowly nodded and said, "Mr. Xia, I know your attitude. I still need to discuss with my partner to decide how to decide." Speaking of this, Xia Yu knows that this can only be done today. He stood up, and Arthur Blank followed suit. Before leaving, Xia Yu said to Arthur Blank again: "Mr. Blank, although our company has a starting investment of tens of millions of dollars, you don''t have to worry about losing too much of your equity. Our investment method is very flexible. " "Now Home Depot has outstanding advantages and disadvantages. If you are willing to accept investment, we will clear out other minority shareholders first, acquire their equity, and then inject capital into the company. If you have enough funds, you don¡¯t need to be choked by the supplier. You can buy anything with US dollars, including suitable partners!" "If we can reach a cooperation, then on the basis of investment, we can also provide Home Depot with commercial loans, which can prevent you from losing too much equity." Arthur Blank raised his brows. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to say that, but after listening, his mind became active. Xia Yu can say that, at least he is not aggressive. Although he doesn''t know whether it is true or not, his first impression is really good. "Mr. Xia, I understand what you mean. I will discuss with my partner first, and if there is a decision, we will contact you again." Xia Yu shook hands with him and smiled and said, "No problem, but I hope to reply to me as soon as possible. My schedule is relatively tight and I won''t stay in Atlanta for too long." "This is my current address and contact information." After leaving a contact information for Arthur Blank, he took Arthur Blank''s business card and was sent out by him. After the car started, he looked at the big sign at the Home Depot Mall again, and a thought flashed in his eyes. "It seems that it is necessary to acquire a bank in the United States as soon as possible. After all, not all company founders don''t care about control rights. For the time being, they cannot get too much equity. They must be **** with the cooperation of banks. There will be opportunities in the future!" "Moreover, it is not good for all the equity to be concentrated in Polaris Capital. If a bank is used to hold part of it, it will not only reduce the public''s attention, but also reduce the vigilance of the founders of the invested companies!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 770: Take a stake in IBM That night, Arthur Blank gathered with Bernie Marcus and told him what had happened in the morning, and the two had a deep conversation. The specific content is not important. Importantly, two days later, Xia Yu received a call from Arthur Blank, asking him to go to the Home Depot Company again. Xia Yu immediately took people there and met Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus at Home Depot. "Mr. Blank, Mr. Marcus, hello!" "Mr. Xia, welcome to you!" After a while, everyone sat in a small conference room, sitting opposite each other, as if they were in a negotiating posture. Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus looked at each other. The former said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I invite you this time because of the day before yesterday. I have discussed with Bernie about the North Star. We initially decided to accept the capital company¡¯s investment." "The specific result can only be decided after negotiation." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, cooperation can only be done if both parties are satisfied." "So, does it officially start now?" "Okay, then let''s start!" Arthur Blank smiled and nodded. Then Shuangyi started the negotiation process. Private companies that are not listed are good for this. When making any decision, there are very few steps and extremely high efficiency. Two days ago, Xia Yu had already given a preliminary plan, and Arthur Blank had also specifically considered it, so the negotiation is very quick now. The whole talk was intermittent and lasted until noon the next day, when the contract was officially signed. First of all, Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus support Polaris Capital''s acquisition of more than 100 other minority shareholders. The second point is that the Home Depot Company has valued US$18 million and received US$10 million in financing from Polaris Capital. The third point is that Polaris Capital has loaned 25 million US dollars to Home Depot. The Home Depot company has already mortgaged a total of five million US dollars at this time, so the net worth is only 13 million US dollars. Even after receiving tens of millions of dollars in financing from Polaris Capital, the net worth is only 23 million dollars. The $25 million loan exceeds the assets of the Home Depot Company. If it were placed in any financial institution in the world, it would not agree to this loan. However, Xia Yu knew the future of Home Depot, so he could hardly agree to this condition of Arthur Blank and won the latter''s favor. The last one is a condition put forward by Arthur Blank after Xia Yu disagrees with the AB share reform. That is, as long as the Home Depot Company does not lose money for three consecutive years, and Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus do not violate the law or intentionally harm the interests of the company, Polaris Capital cannot force the two to be expelled unless they voluntarily resign. This condition is a self-insurance clause specially set up. If there is no such clause, Arthur Blank is not at ease. After all, the total equity of the two of them is only 52%. If they raise 10 million US dollars, the total equity of the two of them is only 33.43%, which is very dangerous. If Polaris Capital acquires the equity of all other shareholders of Home Depot, plus the equity obtained through financing, the shareholding ratio will reach 66.57%, which is a 0.1% equity difference. Absolute holdings can dominate everything at Home Depot in one word, even including the removal of Arthur Blanc from the CEO position. After the signing of the contract, Xia Yu directly credited $10 million to the Home Depot Company''s account, and the remaining $25 million in loans will be credited to the company in two months. And these two months will be the operating time for Polaris Capital to acquire other shareholders'' equity. If the acquisition can be completed in advance, then the funds will also be injected in advance, which Arthur Blank also knows, Xia Yu is to urge them to help. The financing decision was made directly by Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus, and no board of directors was held at all. Although there are as many as 144 shareholders of The Home Depot Company, each of them holds no more than 0.5% of the shares. There is no opportunity to sit on the board of directors or interfere in the management of Home Depot. This is equity The benefits of fragmentation to the controlling shareholder. After obtaining the equity financing, Xia Yu did not have time to personally take charge of the remaining equity acquisition process, so he called Peter Lynch and asked him to arrange the acquisition team to take charge of the equity acquisition. After Home Depot''s affairs, Xia Yu specially invited Ted Turner to dinner, gave some suggestions for Turner Broadcasting Company and the next lawsuit, and then flew to New York the next day. After arriving in New York, Xia Yu first settled down, then came to the Bridgewater Fund and found Rey Dario. "Rey, have you done it already?" As soon as he came to Rey Dario''s office and sat down, Xia Yu asked straight into the subject. Before flying from San Francisco to Atlanta, Xia Yu suddenly thought of something and called Rey Dario to buy IBM''s equity on his behalf. Nowadays, IBM is indeed worthy of the title of the blue giant in the media, but it is the most valuable company in the United States, with a market value of 36.8 billion US dollars. If IBM can be acquired, Xia Yu has the strength to give IBM a controlling stake. But this kind of thinking is just a matter of thinking in your dreams. All of the ten largest consortia in the United States have the strength to eat IBM. If there is a chance, I believe that none of the ten largest consortia will not be tempted, and it will not be the turn of Xia Yu but even if there is no way to control IBM It is also possible to buy shares. Equity acquisition is very difficult, but it does not need too much. A few percent is enough to break into the ranks of the top ten shareholders. After all, IBM''s equity is too dispersed. If Xia Yu wants to get involved in the high-tech industry, if he obtains shares in IBM and becomes an important shareholder, he will have a decisive effect on his actions in the semiconductor and software industries with the efficient increase of BUFF. Today, IBM''s power is so strong! Almost all semiconductor companies and software companies in the United States have to look down on their faces and look at their faces. If any company can catch an IBM car, it will have a lot of money. But if it is blocked by IBM, the future will be gloomy. Rey Dario looked serious and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, I have collected all the information and made a preliminary plan for the equity acquisition. Now I am short of funds." With the current market value of IBM, even if it is to acquire 1% of the equity, it will cost 368 million U.S. dollars. If it is to acquire 3%, it will require more than 1 billion U.S. dollars, far exceeding the strength of Bridgewater Fund. When the Bridgewater Fund was established last year, Xia Yu only gave the initial capital of 100 million US dollars, and it has been used until now. Although the Bridgewater Fund cooperates with banks to use leverage, it has not been used all the time. Fortunately, Xia Yu had already told him before that he would provide funds for the bridge water fund company to come forward to purchase. After all, Polaris Capital is far away in San Francisco on the West Coast, and the branch in New York is still under construction and temporarily unable to operate. Now that time is tight and the task is heavy, I can only trouble the Bridgewater Fund to come forward.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 771: Penetrate the semiconductor industry Xia Yu didn''t specifically ask what plans Rey Dario had made. Anyway, he believed that under the premise of sufficient funds, Rey Dario was able to complete it. For a listed company, as long as the money is in place, it couldn''t be easier to acquire a small portion of the equity. The key is efficiency. "Rey, I won''t arrange you for other things. Try to acquire the shares of IBM as soon as possible. It doesn''t need to be much, 2.5 to 3% is enough." Xia Yu told Rey Dario. "Okay, boss, rest assured, at most half a month, the equity can be obtained!" Rey Dario could feel Xia Yu''s urgency, so he expressed his stance very simply. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, then left and went to another company on Wall Street-Tiger Global Fund. In fact, for IBM''s stock, from a purely investment perspective, Xia Yu would not invest a penny in it because it is not worth it. Not to mention that IBM is now the largest company in the United States, with a market capitalization of 36.8 billion U.S. dollars. It is the highest in the world above AT&T and Exxon Oil. The market value of US$36.8 billion seems to be very high, but the time has been pushed forward 13 years. In 1967, the market value of IBM reached 190 billion US dollars, when the US GDP was only 8,000. At 30 billion US dollars, IBM''s market value was once close to a quarter of the US GDP. But since then, IBM''s market value has been declining, although there are also factors in the global economic downturn. However, from now on, IBM has only reached more than 200 billion US dollars when it was at its highest. Before Xia Yu crossed, the market value fluctuated in the range of more than 100 billion US dollars. Now I became a shareholder in IBM, and it only rose by two or three times in a few decades. It was a loss to my grandma''s house! Xia Yu would not bet heavily on IBM unless his brain pumped. However, the investment in IBM was originally Xiang Zhuang Wujian¡¯s intention to use the IBM platform to achieve greater calculations. Those gains are the top priority. Without the status of an IBM shareholder, it is more difficult to act. Smart people always know how to take advantage of the situation! ... Soon, Xia Yu came to the Tiger Fund Company and met Julian Robertson who was busy. "Julian, how are you doing?" As soon as they met, Xia Yu greeted him cordially. "Oh, my dear boss, it''s nice to meet you. I''ve had a good time recently." Julian Robertson put down his pen, got out of his seat, and said with a smile on his face. "That''s good!" "What are you busy with?" Xia Yu asked casually. Julian Robertson smiled and said: "I am studying stocks to see if there are buried treasures." "How? Are there any results?" Xia Yu asked curiously. Julian Robertson''s financial sense and analytical ability are unparalleled. The previous Tiger Fund can grow to that height, and his ability has played a decisive role. Julian Robertson said: "The last time you saw it, I''m still looking for it during this period of time. I have initially screened out five targets and are collecting further information for analysis." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding, and did not ask too much, but intended to explain his intention this time. Rey Dario is responsible for helping him buy IBM stock, so Julian Robertson will naturally not be idle. Polaris Capital''s New York branch is still under construction. Xia Yu will not let such an important force go unused. A few more investment targets have just been selected these days, and it''s time to start. Therefore, he straightened his face and said bluntly: "Julian, I need you to help me buy stocks in several companies this time." Julian Robertson''s smile narrowed, his gaze looked down, and he nodded and said, "Okay, which companies are they?" As for Xia Yu¡¯s ability, Julian Robertson became more shocked by his understanding. Now Xia Yu wants to do something, and he is also very curious. He doesn¡¯t know which companies Xia Yu will target, and the value of those companies. If Being able to figure it out clearly will definitely give him a lot of inspiration for his investment philosophy. Xia Yu said directly: "It''s AMD and Intel." "AMD is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Intel is listed on NASDAQ. I need these two stocks. There is no upper limit. The more the better!: "You help me buy on my behalf, and I will provide the funds!" Julian Robertson raised his brows and looked surprised. He knows that these two companies are both companies in the semiconductor field with a good momentum of development. They are currently high-quality stocks. Of course, for high-quality stocks, it is not the goal of the Tiger Fund, because the Tiger Fund¡¯s main targets are companies with hidden risks or undervalued companies, which is conducive to short-term long and short and high profits. Companies such as AMD and Intel have relatively few opportunities for healthy development. They generally don''t touch them, and they rarely do more for a long time. But less touching does not mean not understanding. After all, there are not many companies listed in the semiconductor industry, and the semiconductor industry has the halo bonus of the giant IBM, and almost all practitioners in the financial industry have studied it. Of the two companies AMD and Intel, the former has a higher market value. AMD''s full name is AMD Semiconductor Corporation of the United States, also known as American Chaowei Semiconductor Corporation. It was established in 1969 and its development was relatively slow. It was not listed on the New York Stock Exchange until 1979, and its turnover exceeded US$100 million in 1978. The market value is around $480 million. As for the other Intel, its market value is much higher. It took nine years from being listed on Nasdaq in 1971 to bring its annual revenue to nearly 800 million U.S. dollars. The company¡¯s current market value is about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. , Is more than five times that of AMD. Intel Corporation was the first company in the world to launch a microprocessor, and it is now well-known in the world. Intel was founded in Silicon Valley by Noyce and Moore, the last two of the Fairchild¡¯s Eight Rebellions. When the company started, it was closely watched by capital. No way, Fairchild¡¯s halo bonus was too great. As pioneers in the semiconductor industry, it is difficult for them not to attract attention. And these two rebellious strengths are also undoubted. The famous "Moore''s Law" of later generations was put forward by the founder Moore at the academic annual meeting of the International Telecommunication Union in 1975. Having said that, Julian Robertson also knows that the two companies have a very close relationship. Although there is competition, the two have been doing well in cooperation, and AMD is mainly dependent on Intel. Xia Yu focused on two semiconductor companies at once, and his investment attitude was still so determined, presumably he wanted to have an influence in the semiconductor industry. Since Xia Yu wants to do it, as a subordinate Jane''s partner, Julian Robertson naturally unconditionally supports: "No problem, I will make a stock acquisition plan immediately." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, thought about it, and said, "By the way, use as many accounts as possible during the acquisition. I don''t want too many people to know that the stocks are concentrated in our place." For IBM, Xia Yu needs to take advantage of the situation, and the proportion of acquired shares is not large, so he has to make a big fanfare and show it plainly to others. But Intel and AMD are different. These two companies are excellent companies in the US semiconductor industry, and Intel is even the leader in microprocessors. Although Xia Yu is a Chinese American, if he wants to fully acquire this company, it is too difficult. The National Telecommunications and Information Management Department will definitely stop him. After all, everyone now knows the importance of the semiconductor industry to the future industry. It involves the most cutting-edge lifeline and will not be controlled by outsiders. Of course, if you secretly invest in shares, as long as you are not discovered, you can still make financial investments. When the strength is strong in the future, goodbye to act. Even if things cannot be done, pure investment is absolutely not wrong. After all, Intel''s future market value is high, reaching over 500 billion US dollars in 1999. The current market value of 2.5 billion US dollars is simply not too low! In less than two decades, there is room for a 200-fold increase, which is terrifying! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 772: Attitude to Apple After talking with Julian Robertson, Xia Yu finally felt relieved. Many American semiconductor companies are listed, but few have the opportunity to do it. He chose AMD and Intel. Although the other six people in the Fairchild Eight Rebellion and other elites in the industry have founded many companies, in the process of development, they either closed down or were merged by other established giants. As for the more distant computer companies, they are also leaders in the semiconductor industry. For example, Xia Yu intends to invest in IBM, Texas Instruments, Sperry Rand, etc., are all giants in computer-related fields. But unfortunately, behind IBM is the Morgan Consortium, Texas Instruments is behind the Texas Consortium, and Sperry Rand is behind the Rockefeller Consortium. Not to mess with each one! Small-scale equity investment is nothing, but if you want to **** it, it will definitely usher in the attention of the giants and a strong counterattack. After all, these companies are the tentacles of various consortia in this field, and not everyone is qualified to cut. But just as Xia Yu was about to leave the office, Julian Robertson suddenly thought of some information and kept Xia Yu. "Boss, I have a message, I don''t know if you know it." Xia Yu raised his brows and asked, "What information?" Julian Robertson said: "It''s about Apple. Now Apple has launched the listing process and is looking for an underwriter." Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed, it turned out to be Apple. For Apple, how could he not know? And since coming to the United States to get involved in the high-tech field, Apple is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored. Later, Apple''s market value ranks first in the world. He has learned relevant information before and after coming to the United States. Only after understanding, he knew that it was too late, the chances of hands-on were few and the difficulty was too great. Apple has been spotted by the wolves on Wall Street, and the New York Stock Exchange has long been looking forward to its arrival. Last summer, Apple ended the last round of financing before going public. At that time, Xia Yu was still in the UK, and he hadn''t reached out to the US, so naturally he missed it. And to be honest, that time of financing, even if Xia Yu knew it, it was useless, he could not rob Wall Street giants. Apple''s open financing is to absorb Wall Street capital to expand the production of AppleII, and more importantly, to prepare for the subsequent listing. Only by introducing the capital of Wall Street, Apple will go public and get a higher market value. What is discarded is part of the equity, which will get several times the value! Nowadays, Apple is the leader in the field of personal computers, and AppleII has caused a sales boom. The media and financial institutions have already analyzed Apple''s situation clearly. The media has given extremely high expectations. The listing of Apple may create the craziest scene in the history of the United States, whether it is the scale of financing or the number of rich people! After Xia Yu learned about the difficulty, he planned to give up temporarily. Anyway, there are opportunities behind. When Apple is still in a trough, Steve Jobs will be kicked out, and even fell into a collapsed situation. At that time, Apple lost its aura and wanted It is possible to achieve holdings and even privatization. Now is the highlight time for Apple, not a good time to do it. But now Julian Robertson reminded him kindly, and let Xia Yu consider it again. He contemplated for a long time before saying: "In this way, you see if you have a chance to enter the ranks of underwriters, if not, then forget it." Julian Robertson was taken aback, then he understood Xia Yu''s attitude, and slowly nodded and said: "Okay, I understand!" ... After leaving the Tiger Fund, Xia Yu thought for a while and first went to the branch under construction of Polaris Capital, which was closer. The branch of Polaris Capital is also located on Wall Street, and because Xia Yu is not stingy with money, Peter Lynch directly buys a site close to the New York Stock Exchange. When he came to the company, Xia Yu found that the basic facilities were already complete and there were already a lot of staff. He met Peter Lynch¡¯s deputy and learned that the branch construction was nearing completion, and he could be on track within five days at most. Start the investment journey. The progress was good, and everything was done well. Xia Yu gave only a few small suggestions, and then left the company and went to the New York branch of Jiuding Newspaper. As soon as he walked in, Yan Wenhan reported good news to Xia Yu. After the successful launch of Jiuding News Agency''s satellite, the operation efficiency of the news agency has been accelerated by 40%. Pictures and information are sent via satellite, which greatly increases the timeliness. After the initial running-in, Jiuding News Agency has adapted, and thanks to the improvement of the news agency, its reputation continues to grow and many new partners have been added. Yan Wenhan proposed to Xia Yu to continue to launch two satellites, and the three satellites will be combined, which will enable Jiuding News Agency to achieve global linkage, and there will be a qualitative leap in efficiency. Regarding this request, Xia Yu did not hesitate, and immediately approved it and asked Yan Wenhan to spend more money to strive for an early satellite launch. After talking about satellites, Xia Yu learned about the three newspapers and the details of the "USA Today" newspaper under construction, and also gave many practical and good suggestions. In the end, Xia Yu told Yan Wenhan to continue with the expansion plan, so that within this year, Jiuding News would have at least one influential newspaper in the top 20 major cities in the United States. Which newspaper giant in the United States now owns at least dozens of newspapers? Many even reached more than one hundred! The model is basically based on one or several top newspapers as the core, and from the inside out, it surrounds a group of newspapers whose grades are declining. The typical influence is not enough, rely on quantity to make up. But to do so, although it is cumbersome to manage, the effect is not bad, and it can be considered as an influence all over the country. Jiuding Newspaper already owns three first-class newspapers, and in the future, it will create the top-notch "USA Today". The backbone of the towering trees is enough, and it''s time to let the big branches flourish! For more than ten days, Xia Yu has been busy, rushing from San Francisco to Atlanta and then to New York. The work intensity is high and he rarely rests. Because of Xia Yu''s physical and energy, he feels a little tired. So he stayed in New York for a few days and by the way paid close attention to the situation in the US election. The situation in New Hampshire has become clear. The Republican Party¡¯s accumulated strength for many years exploded at this moment, and because of the disappointment of the people during Jim Carter¡¯s tenure, the Democrats were retreating. Some media have determined that the Republican Party will take New Hampshire in half a month. The Democratic Party is now discussing countermeasures. And Xia Yu learned that Reagan was also beginning to emerge, and Xia Yu''s three newspapers also began to cheer for him. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 773: 0 sales giant Seeing Reagan appearing, Xia Yu was happy. Although Reagan does not have public office now, and some are just the identity of the head of charity organizations, his handsome appearance, popularity of past stars, and his achievements as governor of California have all added a lot of highlights to his campaign. If he can run as the governor of California, he will definitely have an advantage. But unfortunately, California is now the Democratic Party''s territory. The current Governor Jerry Brown is a Democrat. He is currently stirring up trouble in California, hoping to break the siege and win the Democratic nomination. Although Xia Yu is now rooted in San Francisco, California, he also expressed his powerlessness. California is the territory of the California consortium, and the California consortium now ranks among the top ten consortiums in the United States, and it happens to support the Democratic Party, so in fact, California is the traditional voting warehouse of the Democratic Party. Even in the ten years when Reagan was governor of California from 1964 to 1974, he did not win this vote for the Republican Party. What''s more, now Jerry Brown has re-run for the Democratic Party for six years? In this situation, if Xia Yu ran out to wave the flag to Reagan, he would only look for bad luck. Fortunately, Reagan himself performed well and was quite upbeat, and won the attention of many Republican leaders. The Reagan campaign was on a better track than in the original history, and Xia Yu was relieved. He put it aside for the time being and continued to worry about his career. Five days later, the New York branch of Polaris Capital finally officially set sail, and Peter Lynch also flew to New York from San Francisco. "Peter, how was the company situation during the time I left?" Peter Lynch rushed to the office of Polaris Capital Company in a hurry, and Xia Yu asked after he had a rest. Peter Lynchhui reported: "Boss, the company is doing well. Now the number of employees has reached 152... The acquisition plan for Abbott has been made, and now I have brought it here to implement it. In addition, there has been some progress in the retail industry." "Boss, this is a preliminary screening target after collecting business intelligence. It will be handed over to the New York branch for further analysis. There is also an acquisition plan for Abbott. Can you see, what instructions do you have?" With that, Peter Lynch took out the materials prepared by the company from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu glanced, put Abbott¡¯s acquisition plan aside, and looked at another document first. When he was in San Francisco before, Xia Yu had an in-depth conversation with Peter Lynch, and stated the direction of the first phase of Polaris Capital''s investment, that is, biomedicine, high-tech and retail industries. Of course, Xia Yu''s often sudden thoughts are another matter. Follow Xia Yu''s instructions to complete them according to the situation. In the field of biopharmaceuticals, Genentech has already invested, and Amgen has also been established, and the acquisition plan for Abbott, the target company, has also been made. It is now coming, so it is now formal. In the high-tech field, the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund are already helping. Xia Yu has already told Peter Lynch to let him not worry about it for the time being. As for the retail sector, Home Depot can only be said to be a surprise. When Xia Yu left San Francisco, Polaris Capital had not yet settled in the retail sector. Reading through the materials, more and more information entered Xia Yu''s mind. In the U.S. retail market at this time, there are many national giants, such as Dayton Hudson (the predecessor of Target, renamed Target in 2001), Kmart, Woolworth, Penney, etc. It is a first-class retail giant with a lot of market share. However, behind these established or newly emerging retail giants are major consortia, and they have all entered into this increasingly prosperous industry. On the contrary, it was Wal-Mart, the world''s No. 1 retail giant in the past, which has not yet exploded. However, in this material, Wal-Mart is also included as the first-level important analysis object. Seeing Wal-Mart, Xia Yu was excited and looked at its information carefully. Wal-Mart was founded in Bentonville, Arkansas in 1962 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1972. So far, it has only 241 stores, far less than the tens of thousands of stores in later generations. At this time, Wal-Mart can only be regarded as a regional retail giant, only distributed in Arkansas in the southern United States and several nearby states. Since its listing in 1972, Wal-Mart¡¯s compound growth rate has reached 25%. In 1979, its turnover reached 900 million U.S. dollars and its net profit was only 34 million U.S. dollars. Although Wal-Mart¡¯s compound growth rate is very high, capital does not believe it because Wal-Mart¡¯s volume at this time is small and not representative. In the early stages of growth, companies that maintain high-speed growth are uncommon, but they are large in size and require extremely high management skills and strategic vision. Many companies will encounter bottlenecks or be knocked out of the world. In addition, over the past eight years, Wal-Mart¡¯s compound growth rate has fallen step by step, which also validates the speculation in the capital sector. When it first went public in 1972, Wal-Mart still had a compound growth rate of 42%, but what about? Decrease step by step, even if one year rose a little occasionally, it immediately fell again the next year. Because of this situation, in the past eight years, the market value of Wal-Mart has only doubled and has fluctuated greatly, with a large risk discount. The current market value is only US$330 million. It is hard to imagine that Wal-Mart, which has a market value of four to five hundred billion U.S. dollars in future generations, has a market value of only more than 300 million U.S. dollars at this time, which is a fraction of the market value in future generations. But Xia Yu, who is familiar with future generations, is not surprised. The 1970s was only Wal-Mart¡¯s dormant period. It was Wal-Mart¡¯s golden outbreak in the 1980s, with an average annual compound growth rate of over 35%. The compound annual growth rate of the retail industry is only 2%. In the ten years of the 1980s, Wal-Mart completed its nationwide layout step by step, and its stock price rose sixty times! It¡¯s a shame that it has only doubled in eight years. But this is just right. Just before the rise of Wal-Mart, it is the best time to start. Peter Lynch and others did not have Xia Yu''s forward-looking advantage, but they were able to list Wal-Mart as the first-level key analysis target under this situation, which shows that they have a good vision. Seeing Wal-Mart, the value of this material is sufficient. Xia Yu was happy and continued to look down. On the last page, another target listed separately came into view. Seeing that Xia Yu turned to this page, Peter Lynch immediately explained: "Boss, this company is just a company that has just been established a few years ago. It has not been listed. It was not listed at the beginning, but the following people After I submitted it, I saw it and thought it had investment value, so I listed it separately." Xia Yu raised his head and glanced at him, smiled and said, "I just know this company. Although it is a small, unlisted company, it has a good model and a bright future. If you don¡¯t write it in, I will remind you. Not bad!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 774: 3 future Fortune 500 companies Peter Lynch smiled and said: "This company happens to be in California, and its store in San Francisco is within 50 meters of our company. That''s why it was able to find out, and the company''s warehouse-style membership store model is theirs Original and unique in the world, the company observes and analyzes that it can try to invest." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding, but in any case, it is worthy of praise to include this unlisted company. He was also a little curious about what the situation is like at this time, the second-largest retailer in the United States, one of the top 50 retail giants in the world, which has different names at this time. With a little expectation, Xia Yu glanced carefully, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but curl up. PriceClub! The Chinese translation is Price Member Store. The company was founded in 1976 by brothers Sol Price and Robert Price, and is headquartered in San Diego, California. This company has a unique business philosophy. By establishing a shopping club, gathering the scattered purchasing power of individual members, and uniformly placing orders with manufacturers in large quantities, it not only saves distribution costs, but also achieves economies of scale. This is somewhat similar to the later generations of domestic group buying middlemen. Only because of capital constraints, the Price member store has no extra decorations, almost no advertisements, and is set up in a convenient location to save costs. At present, it mainly serves small enterprises. This is why there are such stores 50 meters away from Polaris Capital. That area happens to be densely packed with enterprises and the transportation is very convenient. "Costco hasn''t appeared yet, it''s just the early-stage Price member store, it''s really small enough!" A smile flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes and thought in his heart. Smaller size is better, as long as the model is okay, then it has the value of capital catalysis. Now the size is small, but it is easy to acquire and the cost is low! And most importantly, Xia Yu really took a fancy to the talents in the Price member store, that is, stepped out of them and created real Costco talents. The future founder of Costco should still be the executive vice president in the Price member store at this time! Speaking of this, I have to say that Costco has experienced twists and turns. Sol Price, the founder of Price Club, is a pioneer of modern super shopping malls. He founded the first discount store Federma in 1954, but it failed to manage well because of low profits. . After that, Sol Price summed up the experience and lessons, and figured out the membership-based shopping club model, and only then opened the Price member store in 1976. As for the real Costco, it was established in 1983. The founders were not the Price brothers, but Jim Singanel and Jeff Blotman. Jim Singanel was an employee of Federmar in 1954 and a subordinate of Sol Price. Although Federmar went bankrupt, he still followed Sol Price. After the appearance of the Price Club, he continued to work for the new company, and because of more than 20 years of work experience, he served as executive vice president within two years. As for Jeff Blottman, it is not Sol Price¡¯s old subordinate, but the management elite who joined after the appearance of the Price Club. The membership store model created by Saul Price inspired Jim Singaner and Jeff Brotman. Until 1983, Jim Singaneer and Jeff Brotman, who could no longer hold back their entrepreneurial heart, resigned together, moved away from California, and came to the United States where Price Club has not yet set foot. In the east, a true warehousing membership hypermarket has been created in Seattle, Washington-Costco! Costco''s model is further optimized on the model of the Price member store, and the area of ??a single store far exceeds that of the Price member store. After only two years of development, Costco went out of the United States and opened its first overseas store in Canada. In 1993, Costco and Price Club merged, and the true Costco Company appeared in later generations. Now, Costco has not yet appeared, but this is not important. What is important is that Xia Yu is very clear about Costco''s business model. Later Wall Street capitalists have long studied Costco''s model thoroughly, and only in this way can they dare to hold it for a long time, so it is not surprising that Xia Yu knows its model. The model is known, and the founder of Costco, who has more than 20 years of work experience and management capabilities, happens to be in the Price Member Store and also serves as Executive Vice President. As long as the Price member store is taken down, the two founders of Costco will naturally not be able to escape. As long as Xia Yu brought out Costco in advance, arranged for the two of them to operate, and then promised the option, the two of them would not be able to get out of Xia Yu''s palm. As long as they are tied, there is no need to worry about other competitors. To be honest, for Costco, Xia Yu admires it from the bottom of his heart. This is an alternative road with great potential. Wal-Mart is a traditional retailer, but the Walton family has achieved the ultimate in management and operation, and has made full use of the technology of the times to keep Wal-Mart alive and become the world''s No. 1 retail giant with an annual turnover of more than 400 billion. Nearly 500 billion US dollars. But what about Costco? There are only more than 700 stores worldwide, which is only about 6% of the total number of Wal-Mart stores. But the turnover has reached a quarter of Wal-Mart''s! Net profit is even closer to about one-third of Wal-Mart''s! Such a gap is determined by the model. But this is not to deny Wal-Mart, after all, the number one in the world is the number one in the world! For Wal-Mart, it has now made up its mind to take a large share of it. Of course, it would be better if it could be acquired and privatized. But Xia Yu also knows that this is unrealistic. Wal-Mart is controlled by the Walton family and is the only industry. It will never be sold to Xia Yu. Even if they were sold to Xia Yu, they would make a comeback. At that time, it would be a huge threat. Xia Yu did not have enough confidence to make Wal-Mart, which lost the Walton family, develop better than the original trajectory. But in any case, it is still possible to become the biggest beneficiary besides the Walton family. As for the Price member store and the future Costco, since it is not listed, it is of course a direct wholly-owned acquisition. No matter how bad it is, the two founders of Costco must be dug over and started by themselves. As long as you hold Wal-Mart and Costco, it doesn''t matter if other retailers don''t touch them. Although most of the current retail giants can develop into later generations, they have the same potential. The market value of the largest in more than 30 years has increased by ten to twenty times. Xia Yu didn''t bother to go head-to-head with big consortia for this kind of company. Take Kroger, for example. Although the annual revenue of later generations will reach 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is comparable to Costco, Kroger, founded in 1889, has long been under the control of a large consortium. Limited to management and model, it has high revenue and low net profit, and its market value is only more than 20 billion US dollars, which is less than one-fifth of Costco. Now that the Chicago consortium controls, the "King of Department Stores" Sears Department Store, which is infinitely beautiful, has fallen into bankruptcy for later generations. Shaking his head slightly, dispelling the mixed thoughts in his mind, he focused on the materials again. He turned a few pages forward and found the Dayton-Hudson company with a market value of only 370 million US dollars with a pen and ticked here. In this material, apart from Wal-Mart and Price member stores, this company is the most suitable to start. Dayton Hudson, founded in 1962, was founded in the same year as Wal-Mart, and its market value is hundreds of millions of dollars higher than Wal-Mart. In future generations, Dayton-Hudson will be renamed Target. It is also a Fortune 500 company in the future, ranking more than 100 and having a market value of US$50 or 60 billion. Now the market value is only 370 million U.S. dollars, and there is still room for one or two hundred times of appreciation. It has the greatest potential besides Wal-Mart and Price member stores. These three goals are all Fortune 500 companies in the following generations, and they are ranked extremely high, one in the world, one in the world''s top 50, and one in the world more than 100! With these three companies, Xia Yu''s retail layout will be as stable as Mount Tai. What''s more, there is the Home Depot company, the world''s number one in the home retail field in the future. Don''t be too stable! If you do more in other fields such as medicine and home appliance retail, the Jiuding Consortium will be invincible. After the circle was completed, Xia Yu handed the materials to Peter Lynch and said to him: "I have circled three companies, namely Wal-Mart, Dayton Hudson and Price Member Store, all of which are abandoned. " "Wal-Mart and Dayton Hudson will acquire equity as much as possible, and it is best if they can achieve a controlling stake." "As for the Price member store, you order people to form an acquisition team and make full acquisitions, but I have one requirement, that is, the middle and senior management team must be complete!" Peter Lynch looked down and nodded in response, "Okay!" PS: Sorry for working overtime late, the update is so late, sorry! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 775: Buffetts astonishment Tiger Fund, Bridgewater Fund and Polaris Capital are all in action. Xia Yu is not doing nothing, but heading into the New York Stock Exchange, continuing to study stocks, hoping to discover one or even several future super gold stocks. "Under the leadership of CEO Byrne, the cost of insurance claims in the first quarter fell by 5% year-on-year. It is expected to get out of the quagmire..." On the New York Stock Exchange, Xia Yu sat in a chair, flipping through today''s edition of The Wall Street Journal. In a corner of the secondary page, a piece of news caught his attention. "The company? It turned out to be this company? Has it begun to get out of the quagmire now?" Xia Yu''s eyes condensed, and he looked down. After reading it for a long time, he closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about everything about the company. Then he opened his eyes and quickly got up and looked for all the news about the company, especially the shareholder information. The New York Stock Exchange is the best place to collect information. The New York Stock Exchange itself saves the information of each listed company and makes it public. So it didn''t take long for Xia Yu to collect the company''s information. Looking at the shareholder information on it, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart. I saw that on the list of major shareholders, in the position of the second largest shareholder, there stood a company that was famous in the future, Berkshire Hathaway. The shareholding ratio is 27.3%! Soon after, he collected information from Berkshire Hathaway again, trying to make a more accurate judgment. The next morning, he collected all the information from the two companies. He sat in his office, contemplating his eyebrows. Needless to say, Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett¡¯s company, has a market value of more than US$500 billion in future generations, and is among the top five in the world. It is a proper financial empire. But now, Berkshire Hathaway has not changed, just a company with a market value of 270 million US dollars. Last year, Berkshire Hathaway¡¯s operating profit was only $34 million. But this profit is already the highest profit ever from Berkshire Hathaway. It is precisely because of the explosive profit last year that the market value of Berkshire Hathaway has increased by 110% throughout the year. In other words, at the beginning of last year, the market value of Berkshire Hathaway was more than $100 million. However, even today''s market value of 270 million US dollars is quite low. Thinking about the market value of more than 500 billion US dollars in later generations, the gap has reached nearly two thousand times! More importantly, the shares of Berkshire Hathaway have not been split until later generations, and the potential value of each share is now super amazing. Considering the future generation of Berkshire Hathaway¡¯s stock price of more than 300,000 US dollars per share, Xia Yu could not help but feel a lot of emotion when compared to the current share price of several hundred US dollars. Of course, Xia Yu, who has the memory of later generations, is very clear that the high market value of Berkshire Hathaway is due to Warren Buffett¡¯s super-smart investment, and it is Berkshire Hathaway who invests in annexed companies. A key step in the transformation of the company. The later Berkshire Hathaway was a giant in the insurance industry in the United States and the world, and the foundation of all this came from the company. Speaking of this, I have to mention the company''s brilliant history. The full name of this company is the Government Employees Insurance Company. It was founded in the 1940s and mainly engaged in the auto insurance business for government employees. After Graham''s brilliant management, the Government Employees Insurance Company developed rapidly and became a government employee insurance company in more than ten years. The fifth largest auto insurance company in the United States, with its market value exceeding one billion US dollars at one time! Only in 1976, Graham had already left the company and ceased to serve as the chairman of the board, and died that year. The company''s management made a series of errors in the assessment of insurance claims costs, which caused the company''s claims to be costly. Increased, the company fell into a loss and almost went bankrupt. At this time, Warren Buffett took action and began to intervene in buying the company''s stock from the market. Although Berkshire Hathaway is hunting the bottom, the dead camel is bigger than the horse. After all, the company was once the top auto insurance company in the United States. Even if the company is on the verge of bankruptcy due to a sudden management error, it cannot conceal its glory. Past and deep heritage. In 1976, Berkshire Hathaway had a market value of less than 100 million U.S. dollars, but its investment capital was even less. Where can a company with a market value of several hundred million worth? Therefore, only ants eat meat, bit by bit, and in the past four years, they have increased their holdings step by step to 27.3% of the equity! And still further increase in holdings. Warren Buffett will keep an eye on the company and cannot get rid of Graham. Warren Buffett is a student of Graham, and Graham is a well-known securities analyst in the United States. When Buffett was a student, he adored Graham fanatically. He would go as long as it was Graham''s stocks. investment. In the 1950s, Warren Buffett visited Graham in the company and talked to him for four hours. Finally, he bought the company¡¯s stock for $10,000 and made 50% in the following year. It''s all sold. Of course, Warren Buffett is eligible to visit Graham because of his congressman¡¯s father. It¡¯s just that, Buffett¡¯s rise of autobiography rarely talks about it, and the media rarely publicize it. Most people only know how to drink. Chicken soup, how can one know the inevitable factor of Buffett''s success? When other children are just playing games, Buffett follows his father on Wall Street and receives elite education. The starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people, and he can also use his father''s contacts when he grows up. Having said that, now that the company¡¯s ZTE person, Byrne, has taken up his post, it is a foregone conclusion that the company will emerge from the quagmire. In later generations, the company once became the second largest auto insurance company in the United States, Optimus Prime of Berkshire Hathaway. Now Berkshire Hathaway only holds 27.3% of the equity, which is still low, but it is definitely increasing its holdings and will hold 5% until 1995. Eleven shares. Subsequently, it spent US$2.3 billion to acquire the remaining 49% of the equity and complete the privatization. Such a huge potential insurance company made Xia Yu tempted. Of course, Berkshire Hathaway also tempted him. If you buy the shares of Berkshire Hathaway now and become the major shareholder, you can fully enjoy the blessings brought by the acquisition But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Yu Still decided to take the company over. It''s rare to encounter such an insurance company that has not yet risen, and has obviously been abandoned by a large consortium. He needs a strong financial pillar in the United States, banks, securities companies, and insurance companies, of course. As for the absence of the company, will Berkshire Hathaway fail to rise? Xia Yu is not worried about this. The key to the rise of Berkshire Hathaway lies in the ability of Warren Buffett. As long as he remains the chairman of the board, Berkshire Hathaway will It will definitely rise. It''s just that the road to rise will definitely be different from the previous life, and the height of rise will also be different. After making up his mind, Xia Yu acted immediately and transferred some people to form two acquisition teams, and began to absorb Berkshire Hathaway and the company''s stock. At the same time, he also gave Peter Lynch time to go to Merrill Lynch. The reason why I came to Merrill Lynch is that Merrill Lynch holds a 12% stake in the company, but it downgraded the company¡¯s rating, which is obviously not optimistic. So as long as the price is in place, Merrill Lynch is absolutely happy to sell its 12% stake to Polaris Capital. And Merrill Lynch is a giant on Wall Street, letting it come forward to acquire and privatize the company, the success rate is very high. Taking into account the business of entrusted acquisition, Merrill Lynch readily sold its equity to Polaris Capital at a premium of only 10%! The company is the equity that Warren Buffett has been staring at, and he naturally attaches great importance to it. When Merrill Lynch asked for a door-to-door acquisition, he was immediately stunned, and a strong sense of urgency rose in his heart. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 776: Launch an acquisition "Mr. Barn, the company¡¯s stock is not for sale in our company. I am very optimistic about its future. That¡¯s why I have been increasing its shareholding in the past four years. So I¡¯m sorry, I will not sell it and let you go for nothing. Up." In Berkshire Hathaway¡¯s chairman¡¯s office, looking at a manager of Merrill Lynch¡¯s M&A department sitting opposite, Buffett suppressed the urgency in his heart and refused with a serious face. Before coming, Barn had prepared the relevant information, so he knew that Buffett was right. Berkshire Hathaway had been increasing the company''s stock. But for Buffett''s non-sale remarks, he sneered at it, believing that this was Buffett''s pavement for raising the price. He has been in the financial industry for decades and has already seen the true face of Wall Street. Here, there are no non-sale items. As long as you have US dollars, you can buy everything you want here. If you can''t buy it, then there is only one possibility-the dollar is not enough! Barn smiled and said: "Mr. Buffett, I have made relevant preparations before coming, so I think we should be honest with each other. The company seems to be improving, but the unknown risks are too great, because of this. We at Merrill Lynch will lower its rating." "Berkshire Hathaway''s current shareholding ratio is a bit embarrassing, and your strength is not enough to eat it. Instead of getting into a fight, it is better to withdraw in time." "Last year, Berkshire Hathaway''s revenue was very high, but if it gets into the quagmire because of the company''s competition, it will be very detrimental to your company." Buffett didn''t change his face, but his heart sank. From Barn''s words, he heard some potential meanings. Is this threatening him? He frowned and said tentatively: "Mr. Barn, I remember that Merrill Lynch is the company''s third largest shareholder. May I know who your stocks are sold to? Who is buying?" Buffett is not sure if Merrill Lynch itself is acquiring, this is just his tentative question. Although Barn said that Merrill Lynch lowered the company''s market value, it cannot be ruled out that Merrill Lynch would suppress the company''s market value by itself. Barn is certainly not stupid enough to let Buffett figure out the truth. He smiled and said: "Mr. Buffett, I''m just the person in charge of the acquisition. I don''t care about other things. I just need to do my own duties." "Mr. Buffett, we are willing to bid 57 million U.S. dollars for Berkshire Hathaway''s 27.3% stake. With this money, you will have more capital to invest. A more valuable company." Buffett did not get the information he wanted, and he was full of doubts. He directly ignored Barn¡¯s offer and declined: "Mr. Barn, I understand what you mean. I personally don¡¯t want to sell the company¡¯s stock, and the company¡¯s stock is If our company¡¯s important investment projects are to be sold, they also need to be approved by the resolution of the board of directors. For the time being, I cannot give you any answer." Barn also knows that it is impossible to negotiate the first time. As long as Buffett and the Berkshire Hathaway board of directors are considering this matter, then his goal today will be achieved. But he won''t let Buffett keep on dragging him like this. Their Merrill Lynch Bank has this qualification and strength to set the rules. So he smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I won''t bother you, looking forward to your reply, I will visit again tomorrow!" Buffett shook his face, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, please!" After sending Bath out the door, Buffett returned to the office and sat down on the sofa, frowning, thinking about Bath''s purpose and motives. At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked in and awakened Buffett. "Chairman, I have a special situation to report to you!" The subordinate stood solemnly in front of Buffett and said. Seeing the solemn expressions of his subordinates, Buffett, who was already in a heavy heart, once again had a bad premonition. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "What''s the matter?" The subordinate immediately replied: "The company''s stock analysis department found that our company''s stock price is currently fluctuating abnormally, and the scale of transactions is rising, and there is no trend of suspension or reduction." Buffett was shocked, and immediately got up and said, "Come with me." After that, Buffett took his subordinates to rush to understand the situation. Soon, he knew that his subordinates did not lie to him. He suppressed the surging thoughts, picked up the phone and made a few calls. After hanging up, his expression was solemn. His friend works at the New York Stock Exchange and has confirmed with him that there are a large number of Berkshire Hathaway stocks trading, and the buying orders are constantly being placed. The biggest buyer is a company called Polaris Capital company, the specific information is unclear. Xia Yu did not intend to hide this action, so the acquirer clearly showed Polaris Capital. "Polaris Capital..." Buffett murmured and frowned, but he couldn''t recall the relevant information, and he felt very strange. Just now Merrill Lynch came to buy the company''s stock, and now there is another North Star Capital company that is buying their company''s stock. The motivations of the former and the latter are not clear. His instinct told him that there should be a certain connection between the two, otherwise it could not be such a coincidence! But anyway, he knew that the company was in trouble, and now it must be resolved. Moreover, the issue of North Star Capital''s acquisition of stocks is even more urgent. If he doesn''t figure out the situation, he can''t sleep well. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to mobilize all efforts to find out the information of Polaris Capital, and at the same time raise funds to prepare for emergency. Then, he asked his secretary to notify the other directors and immediately summoned them to convene the board of directors. ... "Boss, this is the list of stocks that have been acquired so far." For Polaris Capital, Xia Yu came to the special working group office and took a look at the list submitted by Xia Yu. The stock acquisition process of the two targets is clearly written above, including information such as time, transaction target, transaction price, etc. Of course, summarized information is also essential. Xia Yu skipped the specific acquisition process after a few glances, and looked directly at the final statistics. Among them, the company''s equity already holds 18.7%, of which Merrill Lynch alone contributes 12%, accounting for nearly two-thirds. In addition, there is an investment institution that originally held 5.2% of the shares and had a board seat in the company, but it also sold all its shares to Polaris Capital the remaining percentage One point five of the shares were all acquired from the market. Although the company has been in decline for four years, although it has improved, it is still difficult to change its image of junk stocks in the past few years. It has already exhausted the patience of investors. Therefore, after the purchase order is placed, the number of orders is unknown. At present, the company is still fighting for several important shareholders. As long as it is taken down, it can easily surpass Berkshire Hathaway and become the second largest shareholder, even surpassing the original largest shareholder. As for Berkshire Hathaway, thanks to its good performance last year, the capital market has higher expectations of it, and ordinary investors are relatively optimistic about its future, so acquisitions are more difficult. At present, it has not won any major shareholder, but only acquired a 1.7% stake in a financial institution, and then acquired a portion of the stocks on the market. The two together accounted for 2.6%. However, Xia Yu is already quite satisfied with this result. Peter Lynch has contributed a lot to this result in just a few days. He has served in Fidelity Fund for such a long time and has accumulated a wide network of contacts for him. Now it takes time. , Immediately played a role. After putting the list in place, Xia Yu once again instructed and encouraged the subordinates of the acquisition team, and then checked the time before going to prepare for the interview. Wall Street is the place with the largest number of financial elites. Polaris Capital will play an extremely important role in the acquisition field in the future. The company urgently needs a large number of talents. Now the branch has a serious shortage of talents, so it has been recruiting externally. At the same time, Xia Yu also commissioned Korn Ferry International New York branch. The company is responsible for hunting and recommending. Peter Lynch is running around for several acquisitions, so naturally he can only come for the interview. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 777: Bank in hand When Xia Yu was busy with several major acquisition tasks, Liu Tianci called an international call to report the good news to him. In February, Chiba Bank was calculated to lose as much as US$252 million. At that time, Wang Qi and Liu Tianci worked together to short Chiba Bank and launched an acquisition war. After more than two months, the acquisition battle of Chiba Bank finally came to an end. After the explosion of Chiba Bank, the Tokyo Stock Exchange was shaken, and Chiba Bank''s stock price plummeted. Wang Qi and Liu Tianci were behind the buying of the media to fuel the flames, leaving Chiba Bank in a quagmire. In terms of short selling, a total profit of 192 million US dollars. And in the end, it only spent 100 million U.S. dollars to fully acquire the bankrupt Chiba Bank. You must know that before the explosion, the market value of Chiba Bank II was as high as 750 million US dollars, but because of the sudden loss of 252 million US dollars, it almost touched the 2.57 bank capital line of Chiba Bank. (Island countries use yen, but for the sake of unification and better reading, all the following are converted into US dollars). The risk of bankruptcy is infinitely high. It is too late for investors to lose the shares of Chiba Bank, for fear that Chiba Bank will go bankrupt and be dragged to the funeral. Calculating carefully, Chiba Bank was acquired by Jiuding Bank, plus the short-selling profit, and then removing the previously calculated loss. In fact, the cost of acquiring Chiba Bank is $170 million. With 170 million U.S. dollars, the original market value of Chiba Bank was purchased at 750 million U.S. dollars, and the book profit reached 580 million U.S. dollars. More importantly, Xia Yu''s banking empire extended his hand to the island nation at one time and won a top regional bank. This is definitely a significant victory. In this process, it was not that no one came out to stop it, but Liu Tianci used money offensive and asked Fu Yuanhe to come forward, and finally all resolved. At the end of the call, Xia Yu urged Liu Tianci to exchange blood for Chiba Bank, replacing all the right-wing elements and risk factors inside, even if the development of Chiba Bank temporarily slowed down. Liu Tianci and others have gained, not to mention the acquisition of Bright Fund, which is more onerous. During this time, Elena has been in contact with Xia Yu. In addition to talking about the stars and moon, from poetry and poetry to life philosophy, she will also talk to Xia Yu about the latest situation and work progress of the Bright Fund every day. The first result was not the Leyland Automobile Group with Margaret Thatcher, but the Lamborghini Automobile Company. No way, on February 28, Lamborghini still went bankrupt according to the original trajectory. First, it went bankrupt. George Berkeley, who was already staring at him, was shocked by the foresight of his boss, Xia Yu, on the one hand, he immediately sent someone to intervene in the acquisition. The emergence of the Bright Fund made Ferruccio Lamborghini delighted but also greatly disappointed. In the end, because of the high debt, the Bright Fund was eventually taken over by the Bright Fund at a price of only one million U.S. dollars and shouldered all the debts. Ferruccio Lamborghini took a million dollars to spend his old age. After the acquisition, Lamborghini was immediately sold to Tiangong Automobile Group by Bright Fund. After Lamborghini, it was Leland Automobile Group. As a British state-owned company, when the decision was made at the highest level, there was still Duke Howard''s guardianship. Naturally, the progress was very smooth, and it took a long time because of asset accounting and divestiture. In the end, Leland Motor Group was taken by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars for a total price of 150 million pounds. After the acquisition, the Bright Fund continued to assist Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in acquiring the remaining shares of Jaguar Motor Company. As for Rolls-Royce Motor Company, it began to digest the fruits of the acquisition. According to Xia Yu''s original plan, Leyland Automobile Group will be split up. Among them, the automobile department owns Rover, Morris, Wolseley, Riley, Jaguar, MINI and other brands. Later, Rover''s four-wheel drive division was separated and the Land Rover brand was established to specialize in off-road vehicles. Then there is the truck and bus manufacturing department, which is under the banner of Leland Truck Company and restored its original name. Leland Trucks is a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce. The Rolls-Royce Motor Company was restructured into a group company. Then there was TI Automotive Systems, which was also taken over by the Rolls-Royce Motor Group for a purchase price of 40 million pounds. After that, there was Lotus Motor Company, which was wholly-owned by Bright Fund for a price of 10 million pounds, but it did not immediately transfer to the Tiangong Automobile Group. After all, Lotus is different from Lamborghini. Lamborghini is an Italian company. It is very difficult to transfer to Tiangong Group. However, McLaren and Aston Martin have not yet won, and they have rashly transferred and resold, which will easily attract media attention. Once it is manipulated by someone who wants to cause public outrage, it will be troublesome. As for the most important Magna International company, it is still being acquired at this time, but according to Elena, after the initial difficult period, there has been a lot of progress, mainly in price. Xia Yu is very concerned about the progress of the automobile company, but he is most concerned about the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank. Holding the deadly handles of the two banks, the executives of the two banks were scared to death but they had to compromise. Some shareholders hurriedly dumped their equity to Bright Fund for fear that the news would leak out, causing the bank¡¯s stock price to plummet. , Even further fermentation triggered a chain reaction leading to bankruptcy. Now that the situation at Standard Chartered Bank is completely clear, and the situation at the Royal Bank of Scotland is gradually becoming clear, George Berkeley is making every effort to fight for it, and Elena does not hesitate to use the influence of the Howard family to help. ... After another three days, thanks to the strong strength of Merrill Lynch, Polaris Capital''s shareholding ratio in the company increased to 29.2%, becoming the actual second largest shareholder. Merrill Lynch is now attacking the largest shareholder and Berkshire Hathaway. And Polaris Capital itself, after three days of hard work, also increased Berkshire Hathaway''s equity to 5.1% and automatically obtained a board seat. On this day, before Xia Yu had time to go to Berkshire Hathaway, he received a report from his subordinates that Warren Buffett came downstairs and wanted to visit him. Upon hearing this news, Xia Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn''t expect Warren Buffett to play the card without reason and come directly to the door. But he changed his mind. Although Buffett''s sudden visit was very abrupt, it had to be said to be a very good means of breaking the game. Buffett was indeed different. Then, Xia Yu ordered his subordinates to invite Buffett to come up, and he cleaned up the table a little bit and ordered another subordinate to boil water to prepare coffee. After a while, with his hair a little gray, Buffett, who was just fifty years old, came to Xia Yu''s face. Xia Yu smiled and greeted him with a handshake, and invited him to sit on the sofa.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 778: Buffetts helplessness Although he had learned about Xia Yu''s information from the materials before he came, Buffett was still inevitably shocked by seeing Xia Yu''s young appearance. However, he is already fifty years old, and he can hide his true thoughts well. With a kind smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Xia, I take the liberty to interrupt this time. It may take some time for you." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Buffett is polite. Actually, I wanted to contact you a long time ago and learn from you some investment experience. It''s just that the company has just established a branch on Wall Street during this period, so there are more things. Buffy said: "I can understand that the initial stage of the company is the busiest." "Mr. Buffett, your coffee!" "Thank you!" Xia Yu took a sip, put down the cup, and calmly looked at Buffett and said: "Mr. Buffett, I have heard of your reputation a long time ago. You are a very investment-minded investment master, Berkshire. Saver was just a textile factory on the verge of bankruptcy, but in your hands, it turned around perfectly and became a dynamic financial company, which is extremely rare on Wall Street!" Buffett smiled and seemed to notice Xia Yu''s attitude. He humbly said: "No, there are many accidental factors in my success. Several times my company almost went bankrupt. It was just that someone happened to help or was lucky." Xia Yu smiled, skipped this boring topic, and suddenly said: "Mr. Buffett, you are here this time to ask why we suddenly bought shares in Berkshire Hathaway?" Buffett didn''t expect Xia Yu to take the initiative to say this. This could not help disrupting the scene he had originally expected. He suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, nodded and said, "Yes!" Xia Yu smiled and said: "I have just said that because I am very optimistic about your investment philosophy. I believe that under your management, Berkshire Hathaway will develop very well. It just so happens that I also want to talk to you. Make a friend, so use this way to show your support and recognition!" "I''m sorry, it seems to have caused you trouble." Buffett raised his brow, he didn''t expect Xia Yu to say that. He stared at Xia Yu directly, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of Xia Yu''s words. Xia Yu smiled lightly and looked at Buffett calmly. A few seconds later, Buffett smiled brightly and said: "It turns out that it is. Thank you Mr. Xia for your approval. This is my honor. I am very happy to be friends with you!" ... "Mr. Xia, can I know how many shares Polaris Capital has purchased now?" Xia Yu did not report the purchased shares to the NYSE in time, so Buffett did not know that Polaris Capital already held 5.1% of the shares and it was normal. Xia Yu didn''t hide it, and said frankly: "Mr. Buffett, now our company already holds 5.1% of the equity." Buffett''s eyes condensed, and he said with a smile: "It seems that there will be an important director in my company. This is really a happy thing." After laughing, Buffett suddenly asked: "Mr. Xia, can I know how many stocks you plan to buy?" After speaking, Buffett stared at Xia Yu closely. Xia Yu smiled indifferently, thought about it and said slowly: "Mr. Buffett, please rest assured that I am friendly to you, so I can tell you our company''s plan. The original plan was to buy Berkshire Ha With a total of 10% of Saway¡¯s equity, the plan remains unchanged." Buffett''s expression suddenly eased, and he didn''t know if he believed Xia Yu''s words, he smiled and said, "Is that so, then I''m relieved." Then, he laughed at himself and said: "Mr. Xia, let you see the joke. To tell you, I do have some fears about Polaris Capital. After all, your company is strong and fully capable of acquiring our company. Kirill Hathaway is the most important part of my life, so I have to be nervous." Xia Yu nodded and smiled: "I can understand. I''m sorry that our sudden behavior caused you trouble." "I believe that in the future we will get along very happily." "Before coming, I still had concerns, but now, I am completely relieved, and wish us a happy future cooperation!" After letting go of the worries in his heart, Buffett was in a good mood. He seemed to want to learn more about his upcoming partners. He and Xia Yu continued to chat for a while, and then invited Xia Yu to play golf the next day. Xia Yu readily agreed. The next morning, the United States National Golf Links Course. Xia Yu was dressed in sportswear, and saw Buffett waiting at the gate of the court. After a short greeting, the two entered the court and played golf. Although Xia Yu was young, his skillful golfing skills surprised Buffett and praised Xia Yu''s superb skills. Playing golf, chatting about the latest news of the New York financial market, or discussing the financial situation in the United States. No matter what topic it was, Xia Yu could talk about it, it seemed that there was nothing he didn''t know. After playing for a long time, it seemed that he was a little tired, and Buffett suggested going to the side to rest for a while. The two leaned on comfortable recliners, and the soft sunlight poured down from the blue sky, and the shining person was warm, the breeze blew, and the fragrance of the grass came. "Mr. Xia, I don''t know what you think about the insurance industry?" After taking a sip of juice, Buffett suddenly looked at Xia Yu and asked. Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and said: "After the Second World War, the insurance industry market has been expanding. The peak period was in 1977. Non-life insurance direct business premiums grew the fastest, reaching 20% ??at one time. , The premium of reinsurance business has increased by more than 25%." "However, after 1977, the development speed of the insurance industry began to decline rapidly. According to the current trend, it will definitely be lower next year, and there is even a high probability that it will continue until the next two years." Xia Yu''s judgment made Buffett frown. He thought for a while and said to Xia Yu clearly: "Then Mr. Xia, do you think the company''s investment in the company needs to continue?" Could it be that where the wind is missing? Or Buffett''s simple temptation? Several thoughts flashed in Xia Yu''s mind. He thought for a while, considering how he would get along with each other, he simply clarified the matter in advance, and said: "Mr. Buffett, I personally think that Berkshire Hathaway should have less investment risk with limited capital. company of." "Let¡¯s tell you that, before paying attention to Berkshire Hathaway, we just wanted to buy an insurance company, but you also know that the insurance industry is mostly the core industry of major consortia, so our company paid attention to the company. , He commissioned Merrill Lynch to buy it." "That is to say, Berkshire Hathaway was discovered among the company''s shareholders. After further understanding, I decided to buy the equity of your company." "You ask, has Merrill Lynch already approached you?" Buffy nodded and said: "Yes, Merrill Lynch has come to the company three times, but I didn''t expect that you wanted to acquire the company." "You just said that the growth rate of the insurance industry will continue to decline, so why do you want to enter the insurance industry? Or do you look for companies that are stuck in the quagmire?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "It is because of the decline in the growth rate of the insurance industry that it is easier for us to enter. Isn''t it easier to acquire companies at a loss?" "As for the investment risks and losses brought about, our company does not care. We can afford the money. If the company is a healthy company and we want to acquire a wholly-owned company, the difficulty and cost will be twice as large. Higher than the current risks and losses." Xia Yu''s remarks can be summed up in one sentence. I know the company''s losses and risks, but our company is strong and doesn''t care at all, as long as we can buy the company. This kind of rich rhetoric made Buffett wonder what to say. At this moment, he was a little mixed, and when he met someone like Xia Yu who played cards in an unreasonable way, he still took money and used capital to crush him. He didn''t know what to say. For a long time, he said with the last glimmer of hope: "Mr. Xia, do you have to buy the company wholly?" Xia Yu nodded and said naturally: "Of course, only when we acquire wholly-owned assets, we can invest hundreds of millions of dollars to transform, and it will even be easier to acquire other insurance companies later. This involves Polaris Capital''s long-term strategic plan in the insurance field. ." Well, I have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in transformation at every turn, and I am also preparing for subsequent acquisitions. Each of these moves requires a lot of dollars ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Berkshire Hathaway does not have the capital to follow. In other words, even if Berkshire Hathaway keeps its equity, if it does not invest a large amount of capital, it will be diluted step by step. But Berkshire Hathaway¡¯s funds are already tight. If it gets stuck by this, then it really won¡¯t be able to invest in accordance with his philosophy. And Buffett has also thought about the positioning of Berkshire Hathaway. To enter the insurance industry, a core pillar is definitely needed. Now obviously the company cannot become a core pillar. Holding a little equity will become a tasteless or even a burden. . "Well, I have to say that Polaris Capital is very strong." Buffett smiled helplessly, and decided to abandon the company in his heart. Xia Yu smiled and said softly: "It''s okay, the major shareholders behind are not short of money, and the billions of dollars of funds are still taken out." As soon as he said this, Buffett couldn''t help but smile, and envy rose in his heart. "All right, I know what to do, we will give up the company''s equity." "Thank you Mr. Buffett for your accomplishment." "If there is anything we need to help in the future, I will be happy to help." These words of Xia Yu made Buffett''s bad mood a lot better. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia." "No thanks, we are friends and we should help each other." "Yes, we are friends..." PS: Lao Huang is a native of southern Jiangxi.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 779: Enhance the competitiveness of banks After Buffett decided to give up, things went smoothly. When Barron of Merrill Lynch came back again, he succeeded in taking down Berkshire Hathaway''s equity. Then Merrill Lynch immediately transferred the equity to Polaris Capital. In an instant, Polaris Capital''s shareholding ratio exceeded 50%, and the overall situation has been determined! Upon learning of this news, the original largest shareholder, who was still resistant, raised a flag and surrendered. That morning, when Xia Yu went to the New York Stock Exchange again, he suddenly found that the color of the large screen outside the New York Stock Exchange was not correct. He glanced at it casually and suddenly raised his brow. It turned out to be an advertisement for an ATM. He couldn''t help but stop and watch it for a while. It turned out to be an NCR-brand ATM, and it was now promoting it. Automatic teller machines, known as ATM machines in the later generations, are particularly useful for banks. It can be said that they have changed the bank''s operating mode and accelerated the efficiency of money circulation. In the later generations of China, all major banks, without setting up branches, are doing their best to build ATMs to store storage points to improve service convenience. It can be said that the ATM is a powerful weapon for banks to compete. In the absence of others, as long as they are pushed, they can help banks compete for customers. Thinking that there are no ATMs in Hong Kong, even HSBC hasn''t installed them, Xia Yu''s heart becomes active. If Jiuding Bank is the first to eat crabs and launch the ATM first, it will definitely make Jiuding Bank a big hit and be able to further absorb reserves and compete for market share. For the sake of convenience, wealthy people who have not opened an account will definitely open an account and apply for a card. Thinking about the newly acquired island country Chiba Bank, as well as the Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland that are currently being acquired, the amount of ATMs he needs can be huge. I don''t know how safe the current ATMs are and whether they are suitable for large-scale promotion. You can decide after experiencing it yourself! Seeing the address in the ad, it happened to be at the end of Wall Street. On Wall Street where there are many banks, NCR will definitely set up a station unless it doesn''t want the market. Then, Xia Yu turned around and returned to the company and asked him to drive to the station of NCR. After a while, he arrived at the location. "welcome!" "Hello, I am looking for your manager. I need a batch of ATMs." As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu directly expressed his intention to the receiving beauty. The beauty received a smile, and walked inside to welcome Xia Yu: "Sir, please come with me!" "Ok." ... "Hello, gentleman, I am the head of the New York branch of NCR, and my name is Dick Anderson. Welcome to you." "Hello, Manager Dick Anderson, my last name is Xia." After shaking hands with him, Xia Yu expressed his intentions straightforwardly. "Manager Dick Anderson, my bank needs a batch of ATMs. I don''t know how safe your ATMs are? Can you tell me about it?" Dick Anderson smiled and nodded quickly: "Of course, no problem. Our company is the largest manufacturer of brake teller machines in the United States. Now it occupies 60% of the U.S. market. The safety performance can withstand the market test. You can rest assured. " "Please follow me, I can show you live." After that, Dick Anderson took Xia Yu to a spacious room with a row of more than a dozen ATMs, of course the kind of bare machines that were not embedded in the wall. He skillfully opened one, first gave Xia Yu and others a product introduction book, and then skillfully introduced Xia Yu to the functions of the ATM. "Mr. Xia, the shell of our ATM is..." Dick Anderson kept moving in his hands and gushed introductions. Xia Yu listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he started to operate it himself. From Xia Yu''s point of view, the current ATM functions are far more primitive than later generations, and the system is also quite primitive. But considering the constraints of the times, this is understandable. More importantly, there are no strong figures in the computer at Xiangjiang. There is no need to worry about the system being cracked and there will be loopholes. At that time, the ATM will also install a camera. The only way to avoid malicious people is to violently destroy the ATM and grab the money directly. But this is unavoidable. In this environment, there are not a few bank robbers, and they will exist in later generations. The only way is to strengthen management as much as possible, and each ATM only saves a little money after get off work. So now there is only one most critical question left! That is the problem of banknote recognition. The ATM here must recognize U.S. dollars. If Hong Kong dollars or British pounds are inserted, it will definitely display counterfeit currency. To recognize the Hong Kong dollar and the yen, etc., you have to debug the system. If Jiuding Bank enters Southeast Asian countries, it is even more troublesome. After all, there are many Southeast Asian countries. Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked directly: "Manager Dick Anderson, what I need is a machine that recognizes more than a dozen banknotes such as Hong Kong dollar, British pound, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, and Southeast Asian currencies. Do you have ready-made ones?" Dick Anderson suddenly looked embarrassed and shook his head apologizing and said: "I''m really sorry. So far, we have only manufactured ATMs in nine currencies, including the US dollar, British pound, mark, franc, Taiwan dollar, and Japanese yen. , And only ATMs that recognize Taiwan dollars and Japanese yen have been sold." "There are only ATMs in the British Pound and Japanese Yen in the county. As for other currencies, you need to set up the corresponding system. It may take a little time But please trust our strength. It takes up to one month. What you need We can manufacture all ATMs in all currencies." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, first bring me one hundred ATMs that recognize Japanese yen. You can make other machines before you contact me." "Okay, Mr. Xia, which currencies do you need? What is the specific quantity? I have a list first." "Let¡¯s not mention the quantity. You can manufacture the machine first. As long as it can meet the standard, the order is at least 50 units of each type. The premise is quality!" Dick Anderson looked serious and said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, you can rest assured that product quality is the foundation on which we live, and we are confident that we can withstand the test." "The quantity will not be discussed, what currencies are there?" "Hong Kong dollar, Australian dollar, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit..." In the rest area, after Xia Yu thought about it, he spit out the currency names of Southeast Asian countries one by one, and Dick Anderson and his subordinates quickly recorded them. After that, Xia Yu first paid the payment for a 100 yen ATM, and then paid a small deposit so that Dick Anderson could build the ATM first, and then come to Polaris Capital to find him. After returning, Xia Yu immediately called Liu Tianci and told him about the ATM. The most important thing was to make a plan for the layout of the ATM, and calculate how many ATMs are needed. The statistics will be made within half a month and the list will be issued. give him. After handling the automated teller machine, Xia Yu continued to soak in the New York Stock Exchange or deal with affairs in the company. Unknowingly, half a month passed and the shares of IBM were finally taken by Rey Dario, and it was time for him to move. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 780: Dashing into the crocodile pool The location of Qiaoshui Fund Company. When Xia Yu arrived, Rey Dario was adjusting the division of labor within the fund. The acquisition of IBM''s equity has ended, and the task assigned by Xia Yu has been completed. Naturally, the temporary acquisition team will be dissolved, and the transferred personnel will return to their respective positions. Xia Yu didn''t bother, and after nodding to him, he went to the office for tea and waited. About five minutes later, Rey Dario took a portfolio and walked in quickly. "Boss, I''m sorry to keep you waiting. This is IBM''s stock certificate and transaction contract." Rey Dario said, handing the portfolio to Xia Yu, then sat down opposite Xia Yu, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited quietly. Xia Yu opened the portfolio, took out the contents, and read it quietly. IBM''s stock is 3.01% of the company''s total share capital. Except for a small part of the company''s share capital, the other is acquired from six minority shareholders, which cost a total of 1.109 million US dollars. This equity ratio has entered the ranks of the ten largest shareholders of IBM on paper, ranking eighth. IBM was listed in 1917, and it has been 73 years. In such a long period of time, IBM¡¯s equity has been traded back and forth many times, not to mention that in the past 73 years, IBM has successively acquired many companies. Many of them have been combined with cash and equity, making equity Disperse further. Today, among IBM''s shareholders, there are only three major shareholders with more than 5% of the equity, namely Morgan Stanley, General Dynamics and Bank of America. Morgan Stanley needless to say, the core pillar of the Morgan Consortium. As for General Dynamics, it is an aero-engine and arms dealer and the core pillar of the Morgan Consortium. Finally, Bank of America is the core of the California Consortium. The consortium has infiltrated severely, almost wearing a pair of pants with the Morgan consortium. As for other minority shareholders, many are companies in the Morgan Consortium camp. So in fact, IBM belongs to the Morgan Consortium camp. The reason why Xia Yu wanted to buy more than 3% of the equity was actually for a board seat in IBM. Generally speaking, whether it is a listed company or an unlisted company, a major shareholder with a shareholding ratio of more than 5% can obtain a seat on the board of directors. However, in listed companies, taking into account the diversification of listed companies'' equity, the threshold has been lowered, allowing shareholders with more than 3% of the shares to enter the board of directors. But note that this is allowed! Just qualifications! Whether you can enter depends on whether the general meeting of shareholders agrees. Shareholders who individually or collectively hold more than 3% may submit proposals to the general meeting of shareholders and apply for the right to recommend directors. After the general meeting of shareholders is approved, qualified shareholders can recommend directors to the board of directors, which will be reviewed by the board of directors, and then submitted to the general meeting of shareholders for review. This is the normal procedure for recommending directors. Of course, there is a very special situation in this, which is like the current situation of IBM''s equity. IBM has been listed for too long and the equity is too dispersed, so there are few major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares. If the number of directors is small, the exchange will worry about the company¡¯s risks. After all, the board of directors is small and any decision can be passed. Easier. Therefore, in this case, there is another rule that the top ten shareholders of a listed company can enter the board of directors. That''s why Xia Yu thought about breaking into the camp of the top ten shareholders. And the reason for the acquisition of more than 3% of the equity is to provide another insurance. After all, he rushed into the camp of the top ten shareholders and squeezed the original tenth place. The original tenth-largest shareholder already had a seat on the board of directors, and suddenly he was about to lose it. What if he was not reconciled and temporarily increased his holdings? Therefore, even if the original tenth largest shareholder is unwilling to increase its holdings again, Xia Yu is in eighth position, and there is still room for buffer, and it can be more secure. 3% can still enter the board of directors, not necessarily using the top ten The clause that shareholders enter the board of directors. After reading it, Xia Yu returned his portfolio with satisfaction and said, "Good job, Rey, thank you for your hard work." Rey Dario smiled and shook his head: "No hard work, this is what I should do." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "I will ask Peter Lynch to come over later, and you will transfer all the equity to Polaris Capital." Rey Dario nodded and responded, "Okay." Xia Yu drank a sip of tea, thought for a while and said, "Rey, I will invest another 200 million U.S. dollars in the company in these two days. You can make a good investment according to the situation. Rey Dario was surprised and smiled and said: "Okay, thank you boss!" He secretly thought to himself that, as expected, this month has not been in vain. The boss not only graciously left the profit he should have, but also invested another 200 million US dollars. As long as the funds are in place, the strength of Bridgewater Fund will skyrocket in an instant, and he has more room for investment. Seeing Rey Dario''s happy look, Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Later, Xia Yu left, hoping that Polaris Capital would ask Peter Lynch to go to Bridgewater Fund to take over the equity. This process requires the company''s seal and other steps, so Xia Yu doesn''t do it himself. The two previous acquisitions of Bridgewater Fund did not report to the exchange in time, so there is no Bridgewater Fund''s name among the top ten shareholders of IBM. But when the equity was transferred to Polaris Capital, and Polaris Capital went to the stock exchange to report, IBM¡¯s equity information was immediately updated. After all, it is today¡¯s largest company on the New York Stock Exchange and the most valuable company in the United States. It has long been staring at countless pairs of eyes. Any slight disturbance will attract countless attention When the IBM equity information is updated, The unfamiliar Polaris Capital Company immediately became a hot word in the secret, and major financial companies are trying their best to inquire about Polaris Capital. A financial company that can spend $1.1 billion at a time is very rare. It must be strong and can be regarded as a crocodile. A crocodile rushed into the crocodile pool. The original crocodiles naturally have to understand clearly and see what attitude they should treat later! Warren Buffett is no exception. When he saw the name of Polaris Capital, he was shocked and secretly stunned. Xia Yu really did not lie to him. Polaris Capital is indeed strong, and he actually spent more than 1.1 billion at a time. U.S. dollars bought shares in IBM. For a moment, Warren Buffett felt fortunate. Fortunately, Xia Yu didn''t do anything to Berkshire Hathaway. Otherwise, $1.1 billion in funding would definitely cause him the biggest trouble in his life. Fortunately, everything is going in a good direction now. Polaris Capital has entered the board of directors of Berkshire Hathaway and has become his ally. An ally with such strength is very important to Berkshire Hathaway. the benefits of. The major financial companies know it, and IBM, which is the party involved, knows it. The current CEO Frank T. Cary hurriedly inquired about the news and wanted to know what was going on. At the time of Frank T. Cary''s investigation, Xia Yu had already taken someone to the headquarters of IBM, Almonk, New York. For the future plan, Xia Yu must enter the board of directors of IBM and become a director of IBM! PS: Ask for tickets and book all, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 781: Enter IBM In the morning, Xia Yu ate breakfast and drove to the IBM headquarters building. Under the guidance of the security guard, he parked the car in the outdoor garage. As the company with the highest market value in the United States today, IBM is also the treasure of Almonk, New York. In the sparsely populated United States, the most basic commercial land is of course you can get as much land as you need. Coming out of the garage, looking up at the IBM letter at the front of the row of buildings, Xia Yu nodded slightly and led people to the reception hall. "Hello, what can I do for you?" The waitress at the front desk saw Xia Yu and a group of people walking in in suits and leather shoes, and immediately asked with a smile and politely. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "We are representatives of Polaris Capital. Is Mr. Frank T. Cary here?" Seeing the lady''s face showing embarrassment, Xia Yu''s help immediately stood up and reminded: "We, Polaris Capital, are the eighth largest shareholder of IBM." The service lady was very excited, and immediately said obediently: "The CEO is in his office. Please wait here for a while. I will report to the superior." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, trouble you." "No trouble, this is my accusation!" After a while, the service lady brought a middle-aged man down. After seeing Xia Yu and others, the middle-aged man speeded up again. "Hello, I''m Robin, the manager of the administration department. Are you a representative of Polaris Capital?" The middle-aged man Robin asked respectfully, looking at Xia Yu, who was clearly the leader. Unlike the front desk lady, as an executive of IBM, he naturally knows the changes in the company''s shareholding structure and also knows that the eighth largest shareholder of the newcomer is Polaris Capital. Now the representative of Polaris Capital is here. He must be attentive. After all, Polaris Capital will basically get a seat on the company''s board of directors. If they are offended, if they are remembered, they will wear shoes in the future. "Hello! Yes!" Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with him. "This is the chairman of our Polaris Capital Company, Mr. Xia." Xia Yu''s assistant stood up again and introduced Xia Yu''s identity. "Hello, Mr. Xia!" Robin''s gaze changed instantly, lowering his posture. After the question was over, he felt that he couldn''t help receiving the reception, so he led Xia Yu and others into the elevator to find CEO Frank T. Cary. Soon, Xia Yu and others came to the tenth floor and met Frank T. Cary, who was over 50, in the CEO''s office. Frank T. Cary took over as CEO in 1973, and he took over from Thomas John Watson Jr., and his ability is absolutely beyond doubt. After the news that Polaris Capital became a shareholder came back, Frank T. Cary used all his relationships to learn about Polaris Capital and directly found some information about Chairman Xia Yu in the official database. Therefore, seeing Xia Yu at this time, he was not surprised, and stood up enthusiastically to welcome him. "Mr. Xia, hello, this is Frank T. Cary, and I welcome you." "Hello, Mr. Frank, I''m sorry that I didn''t make an appointment, but I will stop by to interrupt." "Mr. Xia is polite, IBM is also your home, of course you don''t need to make an appointment to go back to your own home." Frank T. Cary smiled humorously. Xia Yu nodded and smiled at the right time: "Mr. Frank, you are really humorous, but you are right, we are a family." "Haha..." "Come, everyone, please sit down!" "Robin, you go prepare fruit and coffee." "Ok." ... Xia Yu had a long-sleeved dance and had a very friendly conversation with Frank T. Cary. The two discussed the status quo and prospects of mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers from the antitrust investigation of IBM by the US judicial department. Especially when it comes to microcomputers, Xia Yu holds the view that IBM must design and produce its own microcomputers to compete with Apple when Apple has not yet stabilized the market. This attitude is similar to Frank T. Cary. The concept is exactly the same. Nowadays, the much appreciated management model of IBM was developed by Frank T. Cary, but the general shortcoming of the old company is that the bureaucracy is serious, so it was restrained in the 1970s and failed to respond to the minicomputer market in time. Rise, helplessly watch the American digital equipment company become the overlord in the field of minicomputers. Now the microcomputer market has exploded like the minicomputer market. Of course Frank T. Cary will no longer let the bureaucracy restrain his hands and feet, so he resolutely promoted it. A high-level secret meeting was held just ten days ago and a secret was determined. The project code-named "Chess" requires the development of a microcomputer belonging to IBM within one year to compete with Apple. Therefore, Xia Yu''s attitude on the microcomputer, who is about to become the company''s director, is surprisingly consistent with it. This is absolutely great news! After chatting for a while, Xia Yu suddenly asked: "Mr. Frank, is there any senior in the company now? Can you recommend me?" Frank T. Kane said in a daze, "I''m really sorry, I almost forgot, I will take you there now." "Now Mr. Thomas John Watson is in the company. After retiring, he served as the chairman of the executive committee, but he was in poor health. Most of the time he recuperated in New Zealand, and he just came back this month." "In addition, several directors are also in the company. I will take you over to meet them." After speaking, Frank T. Cary got up and took Xia Yu and others to recognize people. Little Thomas John Watson''s physical condition is indeed not good, Xia Yu can clearly see that his face is wrong, but think about it, he is also a nearly seventy-year-old man, can understand. For Xia Yu¡¯s arrival, Thomas John Watson Jr. expressed a sincere welcome, and then entrusted Frank T. Cary to entertain Xia Yu, and proposed to arrange for a board meeting in the next few days Welcome Xia Yu To join. Later, Frank T. Cary took Xia Yu to meet several other directors. One of them made Xia Yu pay special attention to him, because this was a female director named Mary Maxwell Gates. It is Bill Gates'' mother. And Mary Maxwell Gates'' board of directors comes from First Intercontinental Banking Corporation, and she is the representative of First Intercontinental Banking Corporation. In fact, although she is a senior at First Intercontinental Banking Company, she can only be regarded as a middle-upper. Being able to enter IBM Corporation on behalf of First Intercontinental Banking Company still benefited from her father JW Maxwell, who is Bill Gates. Grandfather. J.W. Maxwell is a big banker who once served as bank president and has considerable influence on Wall Street and the US government. According to the historical trajectory, the reason why Bill Gates was able to take the operating system order from IBM with an irregular company was completely introduced by Mary Maxwell Gates, otherwise Bill Gates would even Frank T. Cary. You can¡¯t even see him, let alone win the contract with nothing? But in this life, whether Bill Gates can get the contract smoothly depends on his choice! Had it not been for two-handed preparation, Xia Yu would not have thought about becoming a director of IBM in a hurry. After getting to know the directors, Frank T. Cary took Xia Yu around the company again, and got to know the company''s executives and employees. Three days later, the board of directors convened, and Xia Yu was unanimously approved to become a director of IBM after taking a formality. Xia Yu also invited everyone to a five-star hotel to gather once that night, which won everyone''s favor. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 782: Find Microsoft After joining the board of directors of IBM, Xia Yu naturally has the right to visit any department of IBM, including the microcomputer development department. This department has just been established for more than ten days now, and there are only 13 people, all of whom are active-minded elite backbones, and the person in charge is Don Esther Qi. When Xia Yu came to Bocaleyton¡¯s secret development department, he saw a busy group of people, and it was the project leader Don Esther Qi who received him. "Tang, it''s nice to meet you. I am Xia Yu, the new director of the company." For the later father of IBM''s PC, Xia Yu did not put on any airs, and greeted him kindly. "Hello, Mr. Xia!" Don Esther Qi shook hands with Xia Yu and greeted him politely. After a brief greeting, Xia Yu heard about the development of microcomputers: "Tang, have you made any progress in the development of microcomputers?" Don Esther Qi took Xia Yu to the studio and said: "There is no formal development yet. I am studying the growth trajectory of Apple, hoping to develop a more comprehensive development plan." Xia Yu praised: "It''s a very good idea. China has a saying that knows oneself, knows each other, and wins in all battles. Apple has created the miracle of microcomputers. If you can deeply grasp the context of its rise and formulate correct strategic plans, you can save money. A lot of energy." Xia Yu''s words came to Don Este Chikan, and he smiled and said: "Yes, I thought so at the time, so I did it." While talking, a group of people came to the studio. Xia Yu saw that there were a dozen people in the studio. A group of people gathered around a large table with a lot of materials. They were studying what they were doing, whispering and working from time to time. Very serious. When some employees saw Xia Yu and Don Esther Qi, they just nodded and continued to work. This attitude made Xia Yu nod secretly. This is the mental outlook that employees should have. They spend energy and time on work, and there is no need to spend their energy and time on work. A truly wise boss is a person who likes to create value for the company, not a person who only flatters. After all, to start a company, making money is the first purpose. If the bureaucracy in the company is pervasive, it will be strange that the company can develop well. After staying in IBM for a few days, Xia Yu discovered that the bureaucracy in IBM was relatively heavy. It¡¯s no wonder that Frank T. Cary did not put the microcomputer project department in the company, but separately transferred personnel and set up the department outside of the company. Boca Raton was to completely avoid the bureaucratic system inside IBM. The project team was able to devote themselves to the development of the microcomputer in the best state. "Tang, are there any research results now?" To stop Don Esther Qi from disturbing everyone, Xia Yu asked in a low voice. Don Este Singularity nodded and introduced: "Yes, our research concluded that if we want to launch our microcomputer as soon as possible, and quickly spread it to the market, we must implement an''open'' policy, a complete microcomputer, There are too many parts and software needed. It is not realistic to rely on our company''s production alone. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The best way is to use the scientific and technological achievements of other companies to form a market force, accelerate the development speed, and enhance the competitiveness of products." Xia Yu knew that Don Esther Qi wanted to outsource software and purchase the best products for hardware. To put it bluntly, part of it is self-produced, part of it is purchased, and a microcomputer is assembled, and then try its best to debug and run in to achieve the highest degree of software and hardware adaptation. However, this strategy is indeed best used when backward, especially when Apple is still running wildly, this strategy is the best choice. After all, no matter which company, it is impossible to be the first in all aspects of the market, which is simply unrealistic. It is precisely because of this strategy of Don Esther Qi that IBM¡¯s first PC will use Intel¡¯s 8088 microprocessor as the computer hub and commission an independent software company to configure various software for it. With Microsoft and IBM signed a contract to develop DOS. If IBM plans to do it on its own, where is Bill Gates? Microsoft is even more unlikely to appear! "When will the final result of the research come down? When do you plan to report to it?" Xia Yu asked Don Esther Qi quietly. Don Esther Qi didn¡¯t notice Xia Yu¡¯s thoughts. He truthfully said: ¡°The microcomputer is the company¡¯s most important project, so I must do my best, so I¡¯m not sure at the moment, and I¡¯m not sure what I will encounter later. difficult." "But according to my preliminary estimate, it will take at least one month to make the research results, and then report to it." "One month!" Xia Yu was certain in his heart that this time was still enough. He didn''t need to worry so much and had more time to plan slowly. Next, Xia Yu learned about some things and put forward a constructive proposal, which made Don Este Qi see Xia Yu''s gaze changed, which triggered his Curiosity, discussed with Xia Yu for a long time. In the end, when Xia Yu left, Tang Este Qi was a little bit reluctant, but considering that Xia Yu was a director of the company, he was not qualified to let Xia Yu stay and help. After coming out of the project department, Xia Yu just had lunch before heading to Redmond, Washington. The target he is staring at is there! In the evening, Xia Yu arrived in Redmond. He found a top hotel to check in and take a good rest. The next day, he followed the previously searched information address and found Microsoft. At this time, although Microsoft has been established for 5 years, its main product is BASIC interpreter. BASIC interpreter is needed in microcomputers, but because of market capacity problems, although Microsoft BASIC has become the market standard leader in this field with special syntax and compatibility, Microsoft''s turnover is not high. Therefore, Microsoft at this time can only be regarded as a well-known but not strong software company. The information collected by Xia Yu also wrote that Microsoft had tried to design the MSX microcomputer standard to enter the microcomputer market, but the results were not satisfactory. When Xia Yu and others entered Microsoft, they happened to see Paul Allen who was precocious and bearded. Seeing Xia Yu and his party, Paul Allen was taken aback, and then he thought that Xia Yu and others were talking about business, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, I am Paul Allen, the chief engineer of Microsoft Corporation. What can I do? Does it serve you?" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 783: Bill Gates refused? "Paul Allen? I have heard of you. You are a talented engineer. I am glad to meet you. We come from a capital company. My name is Xia Yu. They are my subordinates." Xia Yu stopped his subordinates from coming forward, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said to Paul Allen with a smile on his face. For Paul Allen, Xia Yu is very clear. As the co-founder of Microsoft, the later Paul Allen has more than 20 billion US dollars in assets, but because he failed to fight the disease, he finally left all his assets to His sister. In the previous life, Microsoft was branded with Bill Gates. For Paul Allen, the public did not know much about him, at best he was the co-founder of Microsoft. But as everyone knows, if Paul Allen hadn''t urged Bill Gates to drop out, Microsoft might have appeared, but it would definitely not be the previous Microsoft. And in Microsoft, Paul Allen is more talented than Bill Gates. In terms of technology, it is mainly Paul Allen, who is also a teacher and friend of Bill Gates. It can be said that Paul Allen is to Microsoft what Steve Wozniak is to Apple. Both are the true behind-the-scenes heroes of the company''s technical foundation, but the limelight was almost stolen by Jobs and Bill Gates, who were standing in the foreground in charge of business affairs. So for Microsoft at this time, Xia Yu valued Paul Allen more than the world''s richest man. Without Paul Allen, there would be no achievements of Microsoft. Without him, there would be no future Microsoft DOS system. After all, Paul Allen found this system and bought it. "Capital company?" Although Xia Yu didn''t mention the company name, the four words capital company alone made Paul Allen feel excited and his heartbeat gradually accelerated. As a software company, he aspires to be valued by capital, and then uses the power of capital to accelerate the company''s rise. However, Microsoft has been in development for five years, and no capital company has come to the door before. One suddenly appeared, could it be... Fortunately, Paul Allen was able to distinguish the present occasion. He interrupted the infinite reverie in his mind and immediately welcomed Xia Yu and others into the meeting room with enthusiasm. When he used the excuse to take the cup, he immediately informed the studio. Bill Gates. Therefore, less than a minute after Xia Yu sat down, he saw the 24-year-old Bill Gates come in with Paul Allen, greeted Xia Yu and others with enthusiasm and confidence. "Hello, Mr. Xia, welcome to you, I am Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation." "Hello, Mr. Gates." After all, Bill Gates is the child of a lawyer and a business elite. He was born much taller than Paul Allen, and he has also seen the world. Although he is three years younger than Paul Allen, and his technical ability is not as good as Paul Allen. But in terms of business communication, he is much better than Paul Allen. So after chatting for a while, Bill Gates smiled and asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, may I ask if you come to our company, is there anything wrong?" Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled and nodded and said, "Don''t worry about this. Before that, can you tell us about your company?" "Of course it¡¯s okay. Why don¡¯t we go after this cup of coffee? Let¡¯s talk about something else first?" Although Bill Gates was looking forward to it, he was able to remain calm, knowing that the more critical the time, the less he can lose his stance, so as not to fall behind. Suffering, so he glanced at the coffee just served on the table and asked with a smile. Xia Yu couldn''t help but glanced at him high, with a slight smile on his face, and slightly nodded and said, "Yes, I also want to learn about your company''s past." "Okay, then I will start with the establishment of the company. What do you think?" "Of course, please!" ... As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Bill Gates smiled slightly and began to tell about the past of Microsoft. He thought of interesting things in the middle, and he sang a peace with Paul Allen, using humorous words to tell the past of Microsoft. come out. At this time, Microsoft has not yet transformed, it is just a small company, and the benefits are not too great. The relationship between Bill Gates and Paul Allen is still very harmonious. Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Xia Yu felt a strange feeling in his heart, especially when he saw Bill Gates¡¯s seemingly sincere appearance and Paul Allen¡¯s straightforward character, he couldn¡¯t help but feel that Paul Ai Lun lamented. Bill Gates, who grew up in a family of business and legal elites, naturally values ??his interests more than Paul Allen. Obviously, in the early days of Microsoft, Paul Allen paid more than Bill Gates, but when the equity was formally divided later, Bill Gates took up 60% of the equity, and even Bill Gates made progress. Several times, I wanted to redistribute the equity or dilute Paul Allen¡¯s equity by issuing additional shares. An engineer is an engineer, and there are shortcomings in calculations and gains and losses. Before I knew it, the coffee was almost finished. Bill Gates and Paul Allen also introduced the basic situation of Microsoft. Xia Yu proposed to take a closer look at the specific business level of Microsoft. Later, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took Xia Yu to stroll around Microsoft, focusing on the studio. Paul Allen introduced Xia Yu and others to Microsoft¡¯s BASIC interpretation Achievements on the device. Throughout the process, Xia Yu kept smiling and communicated with Paul Allen from time to time. After many technical terms came out of Xia Yu¡¯s mouth, Paul Allen and Bill Gates¡¯ expressions changed and they realized that Xia Yu Yu is also a professional, and they can''t deceive him, so they are more cautious in introducing them, and dare not make false introductions, so as not to be embarrassed by being exposed. After walking around, Xia Yu had a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft at that time. There is no doubt that Microsoft at this time is indeed a small software company with a total of only more than 20 employees. The only thing that can be obtained is the achievement in the field of BASIC interpreter. When everyone returned to the office again, Xia Yu looked at Bill Gates and Paul Allen with a little expectation and anxiety in his eyes. He secretly smiled. As expected, they were only two young people, one was only twenty-seven years old and the other. At only twenty-four years old, no matter how pretending to be calm, when the critical moment comes, he still inevitably reveals his true thoughts. Xia Yu didn''t plan to drag them with them either. He looked straight and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Allen, Mr. Gates, I have learned about Microsoft just now, and now we should have a formal talk." Paul Allen looked solemnly nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu glanced over the two faces, and slowly said: "Microsoft has a certain value, because you have made some achievements in the BASIC interpreter market, but the value is also limited. After all, the BASIC interpreter market The capacity has been fixed there, and the ceiling of the market determines the growth limit of your company''s business today." Bill Gates and Paul Allen were so heartbroken, but they had to acquiesce that what Xia Yu said was the truth. Now Xia Yu said so, nothing more than lowering prices. Just listen to Xia Yu continuing: "But during the visit just now, I saw something different, that is, your attitude towards technology. There is no doubt that you are outstanding technical elites, so compared to Microsoft¡¯s BASIC For the achievements of the interpreter market, I value your technical talents more." "So I decided to wholly acquire Microsoft." As soon as this statement came out, Bill Gates and Paul Allen immediately changed color, and Bill Gates seemed to almost veto them. Xia Yu raised the volume and said again: "But I will inject capital into the company and take out 20% of the options. Based on your contribution to the company, I will reward you in the future. I believe that with your two abilities, Can get a lot of equity." Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at each other, Bill Gates looked determined, Paul Allen pondered for a moment, and slightly nodded back. Then Bill Gates resolutely said to Xia Yu: "I''m sorry, Mr. Xia, Microsoft carries our dream. We will not sell it, we only accept venture capital." PS: Please lose all the tickets! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 784: The system overlord will no longer be called Microsoft! Hearing Bill Gates'' resolute words, Xia Yu''s face remained unchanged, but his eyes became deep. Bill Gates did not back down, and looked at Xia Yu resolutely. Sure enough, what Xia Yu was worried about happened. A long time ago, when the idea of ??acquiring Microsoft emerged in his mind, Xia Yu considered this worry, and Bill Gates probably would not sell Microsoft. Because Bill Gates'' family environment destined him not to be short of money, his vision is also very broad, he does not know **** chickens, he can afford to fail! Bill Gates is a very shrewd man, not a simple programmer. Those Wall Street bigwigs in Xia Yu''s memory also had a lot of contact with Bill Gates in his previous life, and they knew Bill Gates'' nature very well. For this reason, Xia Yu had to prepare successively, just to prevent hitting a wall. But now it''s all here, even if Bill Gates is determined now, Xia Yu still wants to fight again. This is to give him a chance, save some trouble, and also to give Bill Gates a chance. After all, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world in his previous life. Xia Yu looked at the two with scorching eyes and said: "Mr. Gates and Mr. Allen, don''t refuse so fast, you might as well think clearly before giving me an answer." "You should be aware that there are more than two thousand software companies in Seattle like yours, and you can only be regarded as the middle and upper reaches among them, not the top." "The upper limit of the BASIC interpreter market has been doomed. You have also tried to establish the MSX microcomputer standard, but now it has clearly failed." "Based on Microsoft''s five years of accumulation, one failure can afford to fail, but if it is two or three times, or even five or ten times? What will Microsoft have left at that time?" "Who can guarantee that he will succeed?" Every word of Xia Yu is like a hammer, hitting Bill Gates and Paul Allen''s heart heavily, making their faces more ugly, but they can''t provide strong reasons to refute them. Seeing the ugly faces of the two men, Xia Yu also realized that it was enough to stop, and his attitude slowed down and said with earnestness: "Mr. Gates, Mr. Allen, for Microsoft, I am willing to bid one million dollars for the acquisition, and again Inject one million US dollars to expand the scale, and then put 20% of the equity into the option pool." "You should be very clear that the current value of Microsoft is not worth a million dollars. I offer such a high price mainly because of the abilities of the two of you. I hope you can think about our conditions. I will come back the day after tomorrow. ." "We won''t bother now, bye!" After speaking, Xia Yu got up and took everyone away. Bill Gates and Paul Allen quickly packed up their hearts and sent Xia Yu and others out. After watching the car leaving Xia Yu and the others, the two looked at each other and returned to the office with great anxiety. Suddenly, there was a heavy breath in the office, and both of them frowned and thought about what had just happened. For a long time, Paul Allen took the lead in breaking the silence. "Bill, we seemed to be led by him just now, and we forgot to ask which capital company he was from?" Bill Gates was taken aback for a moment, and after condensing his eyebrows, his face was even more ugly, and he nodded and concluded: "Yes, we are still too nervous and lack experience." Paul Allen smiled and persuaded: "It doesn''t matter, they said they will come again the day after tomorrow. After all, our first encounter with others, compared with our peers, the performance of the two of us should be considered better." Bill Gates felt better, and smiled: "Maybe!" After laughing, Bill Gates looked at Paul Allen solemnly and asked: "Paul, what do you think of Mr. Xia¡¯s terms? We have to talk about it. After all, it¡¯s about the company and our future. ." Speaking of this, Bill Gates is a little nervous, as if he is afraid that Paul Allen¡¯s attitude is far from him. After all, Paul Allen knew Bill Gates when he was a child, and he has been working with him for five years, and he knows him well, so he can naturally see Bill Gates'' attitude. He pondered for a long time, and objectively analyzed and said: "Bill, let''s not talk about whether to sell the company or choose financing. First of all, we have to face ourselves." "You''re right!" Bill Gates nodded, agreed with Paul Allen, and motioned for him to continue. Paul Allen continued: "Mr. Xia was very objective. Although we have not counted how many software companies there are in Seattle, I have lived here since I was a child and know more than you. I think there are at least 1,500 in Seattle. software company." "And our company is really not the top-notch here, and now it almost lives on the BASIC interpreter business." "Now more and more people are entering the software industry. You and I know that there are many geniuses. Maybe someone will rush in to grab our original market." "The company has grown to the present level, and it has almost reached the upper limit to feed more than 20 employees. We discussed last year and we must open up new markets to open the company''s growth ceiling." "Now we have four options. The first option is to continue to open up new markets, but the result is either to successfully open up the market to expand the company, or to fail successively and cause the company to close; the second option is to continue to deepen the BASIC interpreter market. , The best result is to drive away other competitors; the third option is to successfully raise funds, we can open up new markets until the day of success; the fourth is to sell the company, we work with peace of mind, No longer worry about the company¡¯s profitability. Even if it fails, we still have enough funds to start a new business." After speaking in one breath, Paul Allen stopped talking, took the coffee and drank slowly, letting Bill Gates clear his mind. After a while, Bill Gates first affirmed Paul Allen''s analysis: "Paul, your analysis is very comprehensive." Then he changed the conversation, looked at Paul Allen sincerely, and said affectionately: "But are we for money? We are for dreams!" "If it wasn''t for our dreams to inspire us, would you drop out of school? Will I drop out of school to start a business with you?" "I remember five years ago, when you were 22 years old and I was 19 years old, you founded Microsoft in the garage together, and step by step to a company with more than 20 employees. In the past five years, we have witnessed many companies failing. , We also wandered again and again, and finally we survived and we are now." "Now, you are twenty-seven years old, I am twenty-four years old, and we are still young. I don¡¯t want to lower our heads so fast. We can still fight. Before we could fight from scratch to now, now we can also bet on everything. Fight for a great future." Paul Allen''s eyes were a little moist, and he smiled and said, "Bill, did I say that I''m going to sell the company? You don''t care about the money, do I care?" "Remember when we first started our business five years ago? We are determined to be like Mr. Watson who changes the world, seize the opportunities of the times and create a great company that will affect the world." Bill Gates also recalled that time, his eyes were a little moist, and he smiled and said, "Yes, at that time, although this dream seemed unrealistic, it was our dream after all." Paul Allen smiled: "You are not afraid of losing everything, and I am not afraid." Bill Gates pushed his glasses and smiled: "So when they come back the day after tomorrow, will we still reject them?" Paul Allen nodded: "Of course, we only accept financing. If they refuse to accept financing, then give up." "Paul, we should think more. Since they will come up to prove that our company''s reputation has spread, more venture capital companies will definitely come to the door in the future." "I know that the value of our company lies here, and it must be able to wait for miners to come." "Hahaha..." The two looked at each other and then laughed. After reaching an agreement, the worries in their hearts were gone, and it seemed very relaxed. But after this incident, Bill Gates thought of more. He suggested: ¡°Paul, our company is not formal now. In order to meet the financing that may arise in the future, I think we should clearly divide the company¡¯s responsibilities and equity. At that time, venture capital companies will not seize this point and question our value." Speaking of this, Bill Gates couldn''t help holding his breath, looked at Paul Allen anxiously, and his heart turned at high speed. Paul Allen immediately nodded in agreement: "Bill, you are right, we should improve the company''s rights and responsibilities." After all, the two began to discuss. Paul Allen really does not value his interests even more, and considering that he fooled Bill Gates from Harvard University to drop out of school to start a business, he had some guilt in his heart, so he couldn''t save face and fight with Bill Gates. But Bill Gates has no such concerns, he hopes he can get more equity. The last two agreed that Microsoft¡¯s shareholding will be opened in 64, Bill Gates will occupy the sixth floor, and Paul Allen will occupy the fourth floor. They will be sent to re-register the company tomorrow to clarify the shareholding information. Two days later, Xia Yu and others visited again. Paul Allen and Bill Gates waited in the office for Xia Yu and others. The two sides sat down face to face, Xia Yu smiled and asked: "Mr. Gates, Mr. Allen, how are you thinking about it?" Bill Gates apologized and said: "Mr. Xia, I have discussed with Paul that Microsoft is our child and carries our dream. We will not sell it, only accept financing." "If you think Microsoft is valuable, you might as well invest in us. We will do our best to repay your investment. We have this confidence!" After finishing speaking, Bill Gates raised an expectation in his heart. After all, Xia Yu is the first investor to come to the door, and it means extraordinary to them. Of course, they hope to successfully cooperate according to their ideas. Although they are confident that the value of Microsoft will attract enough investors, that hasn''t happened yet, and no one is sure how long it will take for the next investor to appear. If you can find one now, it is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Microsoft, after all, time is life! Unfortunately, Bill Gates is destined to be disappointed. Xia Yu smiled, looked at Paul Allen, and asked: "Mr. Allen, what do you mean?" Paul Allen apologized and said: "I''m sorry, Mr. Xia, Bill meant what I meant. We only accept financing and will not sell the company." Last name + Mr. friends usually call the first name.) Originally, Xia Yu had prepared a remark, but after seeing the attitude of the two, suddenly he didn''t want to waste any more words. He took a deep look at the two of them, nodded and said, "Okay, bless you, and hope you can succeed!" "I have something else, so I will leave first." After that, Xia Yu got up and left in the regret of Bill Gates and Paul Allen. The two smiled reluctantly and sent Xia Yu and others away. From beginning to end, Xia Yu did not specify which company he came from, nor did he give them his business card. Now that the two have made a choice, there is no need to give them their business cards so that they can use this as a capital to promote and find other venture capital companies. Anyway, Polaris Capital is now a major shareholder of IBM, and several large-scale projects have also caused a huge impact in the venture capital circle, attracting the attention of many venture capital companies. If it spreads out that Polaris Capital is interested in Microsoft, then someone will definitely come to investigate and it will inevitably cause him uncertain troubles. As the car started, Xia Yu looked back at Bill Gates and Paul Allen who were standing at the door, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, and meditated in his heart: "Sure enough, plan B must be implemented." "In this case, the future operating system giant will no longer be called Microsoft!" PS: The southern Gannan navel orange grown by Lao Huang¡¯s family is ripe.

Thank you!) https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 785: Daheng Xia is going to pretend Seattle Computer Products Company! The next day, Xia Yu followed the position on the information that had already been investigated and found the target this time. This company, a well-known software company in Seattle, was founded in 1972 and now has more than 100 employees. This time, Xia Yu intends to wholly acquire Seattle Computer Products. Since Microsoft can''t take it down, as long as it takes over this company, the effect is the same. Even because of the strength and popularity of Seattle Computer Products, and Xia Yu''s status as a director of IBM, it will be easier to get IBM''s operating system orders than in history. The premise is that Xia Yu must get the operating system out. In the previous life, Microsoft bought the QDOS system and transformed it into its own MS-DOS system in the hands of an employee of this company. After entering the company, Xia Yu bluntly proposed to acquire Seattle Computer Products. This time, he was different from the attitude toward Microsoft, and he appeared to be relatively strong. During the negotiation, he let his subordinates come forward and made a strong decision at critical moments. The three founders of Seattle Computer Products are not from wealthy families, so they are not as good as Bill Gates in the long-term perspective, and the effect of spending money is good. Due to time constraints, Xia Yu and others negotiated with them four times and negotiated a price. They purchased Seattle Computer Products for a high price of 6.2 million US dollars. As for the three company founders, two have left. The most important CTO, Andy Rose, changed his mind and stayed after talking to Xia Yu alone for an afternoon. ... "Andy, could you please take me to the company to get familiar with the situation." One morning, Xia Yu came to Seattle Computer Products, found the only founder Andy Rose left, and said with a faint smile. Andy Rose said very obediently: "Ok, boss, please follow me." Andy Rose is also a genius. He graduated from Stanford University with a major in computer science. After graduation, he returned to his hometown of Seattle and founded Seattle Computer Products with two friends. Because of his strong technical strength, he served as the company''s chief technology officer. It can be said that the person with the highest value in the Seattle Computer Products Company belongs to him. After all, most of the company''s products are developed under his leadership. At that time Andy Rose suddenly changed his mind and did not leave his job, but he made his two friends to death, but Andy Rose was very determined. No way, for a person obsessed with technology, nothing is more attractive to him than new knowledge and new ideas. That afternoon, Xia Yu had a good chat with him about the development of the computer and software industry, looking forward to the infinite future, and drew a very delicious, seemingly within reach of the pie, which evoked Andy Rose¡¯s infinite yearning. . In the end, Andy Rose bowed to Xia Yu''s ideas and was fooled by him. Xia Yu estimated that his skill in flicking that afternoon was definitely comparable to Jack Ma''s art of drawing cakes. After a while, Xia Yu followed Andy Rose to the company''s software development department. This department, in a huge office area, at a glance, there are at least 70 or 80 people. In front of these people, there is an Apple II computer that is currently on the market. Everyone is concentrating on tapping the keyboard, as if programming. With so many Apple II computers, it costs at least $150,000 to buy. But AppleII is indeed the best personal computer today and the best programming tool. Only with it can you create value more efficiently. No matter how you save it, you shouldn''t save money for the guy who eats. Andy Rose wanted to applaud to call everyone''s attention, Xia Yu directly stopped his hand, shook his head to stop his movement, and said softly. "Andy, let me see first." Andy Rose was a little confused and couldn''t figure out what Xia Yu wanted to do, so he nodded ignorantly and responded softly, "Okay." Then, he followed Xia Yu and walked around with Xia Yu. Starting near the door, Xia Yu came behind a programmer and watched him typing lines of code. These seemingly boring lines of code appear to be clear to Xia Yu''s eyes, just as simple as those who have passed Level 8 of Professional English reading twenty-six letters. No way, Xia Yu is proficient in programming skills of later generations, and programming skills, algorithms and grammars of later generations have been continuously developed and optimized for decades, but looking back, it is almost the same as a doctoral student entering elementary school. . The current programming languages ??and algorithms are still in the early stages of the car. Although American Telephone and Telegraph''s Bell Labs officially published the C language in 1978, it did not define a complete C language standard. If you want to really formulate the C language standard, you have to wait until 1983, which is formulated by the American National Standards Institute. The C language is not universal, let alone C++ and JAVA. The general basic language happened to be there in my memory, which was soease to Xia Yu. The programmer looked back and saw a few people standing behind him. For Xia Yu, he had heard that he seemed to be the new boss of the acquiring company, and Andy Rose was the chief technology officer. Standing behind him by such a few important figures made him feel uncomfortable. He had typed the wrong keyboard several times during programming, and he was obviously not focused. Xia Yu smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Don''t be nervous, man, do it!" "Thank you!" The programmer stared, said with a smile, and continued to work motivated. Xia Yu then continued to walk down, walking and stopping from time to time, observing the work of different programmers. At this moment, he stopped behind a 30-year-old programmer, and looked at the frowning programmer who was in a state of thinking. Xia Yu looked at the computer screen again. In a few moments, Xia Yu finished reading the code, and there was a faint flash in his eyes. It turned out to be a program error, and it seems that the cause of the error is more advanced, not ordinary wrong letters, wrong words or symbols. Seeing Xia Yu seemed interested, Andy Rose whispered in Xia Yu¡¯s ear: "Boss, this is the company¡¯s senior engineer Jack Rhodes. His ability ranks among the top of the company. Now he is thinking about the problem. It¡¯s one of the company¡¯s problems. It¡¯s been stuck for two weeks. I don¡¯t have a clear idea yet, so I asked the company¡¯s engineers to take turns to try and see if they can be solved by inspiration." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding, patted Jack Rhodes on the shoulder, and awakened the latter. The latter was interrupted, and was in a bad mood, but after seeing Xia Yu and Andy Rose next to him, he took a deep breath. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Thank me, let me see." Andy Rose said to Jack Rhodes immediately: "Jack, please get up first and let the boss take a look." Jack Rhodes was taken aback. Although he got up obediently, his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Xia Yu, as if he was wondering if Andy Rose was joking. Andy Rose shook his head, with anticipation rising in his heart, and said to Jack Rhodes: "Jack, don''t talk, just watch quietly." Jack Rhodes shrugged and whispered, "Okay." Regarding the dialogue and eye contact between the two, Xia Yu did not pay attention. He directly pulled the program being edited to the top and began to look at it carefully. PS: It''s a new week soon, and it''s the end of the month, ask for a recommended monthly pass! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 786: Welcome CEO The program being edited is relatively long, and the logic is relatively complicated, and there are more "difficulties" in terms of grammar and algorithm. Of course, this "difficulty" is relative. From the current technical level, it is indeed difficult. This is a problem of limited thinking. Some algorithms and grammars have not been developed. But in Xia Yu''s view, it is not impossible to solve it. After watching for a total of eight minutes, just when Jack Rhodes was a little irritated and distracted, he saw that Xia Yu suddenly deleted a large section of the program. His eyes widened, and when he wanted to speak, he saw Xia Yu suddenly move. Up. "Papa..." I saw Xia Yu put his hand on the keyboard, and then tapped the keyboard flexibly with ten fingers, making a crisp sound. Accompanied by a series of percussion sounds, a series of letters quickly appeared on the computer screen. The programmer''s instinct can make Jack Rhodes swallow what he wants to say, focus his gaze on Xia Yuma''s code, and look at it seriously. Andy Rose, who was already looking forward to it, was staring at the code written by Xia Yu without blinking, and kept looking down. "Papa..." Xia Yu seemed to be confident and confident in himself. The movements in his hands did not stop for a moment. There was no need to stop to think or check. The keyboard percussion sounded constantly, like a rhythmic music. "Wait, why is this written here? What is the grammar?" The more you look down, the brighter Andy Rose''s eyes become, and Jack Rhodes frowns from time to time, stops to think, and mutters quietly in his mouth. "My God, it''s unbelievable that this can be written here!" Suddenly, Jack Rhodes exclaimed, as if he had forgotten what the occasion was. Andy Rose glared at him, then whispered: "Jack, shut your mouth and look carefully." Then I continued to stare at the computer screen, as if I was afraid that the speed of viewing could not keep up with the speed of code scrolling. Jack Rhodes was a little embarrassed, but he also knew he was wrong. He glanced around and found that many colleagues were also looking at him. He smirked and looked down. By this time, he hadn''t seen Xia Yu''s slight look. Xia Yu''s age was directly ignored by him. In his eyes, Xia Yu''s figure became mysterious. This new boss does not seem simple! Maybe the problems that have plagued the company for a long time will be solved. What is the solution? Really look forward to it! With boundless expectations, Jack Rhodes continued to look down enthusiastically. But at this time, some people have been attracted by Jack Rhodes¡¯s exclamation. They also know that Jack Rhodes is tackling problems that plague the company. Now Jack Rhodes is standing behind Xia Yu, and CTO Andy Ross is in a wrong state. The stunnedness and admiration on his face from time to time make some people feel like a cat. Finally, a young man next to Jack Rhodes stopped working, and quietly came behind Xia Yu, and looked up at it. There were one or two, and several people followed Xia Yu''s fluke mentality of not blaming the others. Andy Rose also noticed that there were many people behind him. He glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to look at the code written by Xia Yu. Unconsciously, ten minutes passed. "Patter!" As Xia Yu pressed a key, the program suddenly jumped rapidly, brushing down lines of code, and finally a result appeared. Seeing this result, the corners of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he stood up, seeing the group of people standing behind, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became larger. "This is the result?" "The result came out?" ... A group of onlookers widened their eyes, it seemed a little unbelievable. Andy Rose said to Xia Yu eagerly: "Boss, can I see it?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course there is no problem." After speaking, he got out of his seat, and Andy Rose immediately sat in, scrolling the mouse from start to finish to scan again. Others who came later did not see the complete program. At this time, they saw the result, and did not show the program error again. The curiosity of each person was bursting, and they looked at the code intently. Xia Yu didn''t bother with them, but directly found a stool to sit down and closed his eyes to rest. Looking at the computer screen up close for nearly ten minutes, his attention was highly concentrated, even he felt a little dry in his eyes. Just as he closed his eyes to rest up his mind, bursts of exclamation and discussion came into his ears. "Unbelievable, is this new grammar?" "I haven''t seen this algorithm, but it seems to be very efficient!" "Yes, I remember that the program I wrote can also use this algorithm. If it is used, I feel that my program can be reduced by half!" "This algorithm is the same. I have troubled this point for a long time. I didn''t expect it to be written like this. Oh my God, I didn''t expect it..." "Hey, how did you calculate this place? What is the principle? I didn''t understand it. Can anyone understand it?" ... Xia Yu opened his eyes and took a look, then closed them again, with a slight smile on his mouth, and thought to himself: "The effect is good." As time passed, Xia Yu felt his eyes no longer uncomfortable, so he opened his eyes and waited quietly. At this time, Andy Rose had read the entire program. He came out of the crowd and looked at Xia Yu with admiration and excitement. He hurriedly asked: "Boss, that program uses many new grammars and algorithms. , I have never seen it before, did you create it?" Those algorithms and grammar should not have been discovered at this time, Xia Yu nodded directly and said frankly: "It''s me." Although there have been speculations, when Xia Yu admitted, Andy Rose still inevitably said with emotion: "Boss, I admire you so much. Compared with you, I think the Stanford degree certificate I got seems to be fake. of." Xia Yu laughed and said, "Andy, let''s not talk about this. Does the company have any other problems? It just happens that I have some time today. I will try to solve it." "Some and some, I''ll take them out, please follow me!" Andy Rose was pleasantly surprised, with boundless expectations in his heart, he immediately came to a computer, opened a program that was being edited, and introduced Xia Yu, Xia Yu sat down and looked at it seriously. Seeing that Xia Yu was preparing to solve the problem again, and many employees were still holding back, he immediately surrounded Xia Yu, looking forward to Xia Yu''s actions. Soon, Xia Yu finished reading, and within two minutes of thinking, he tapped the keyboard again, shaking his fingers like a phantom. At the speed of his finger, put it to the island country, and he will create a legend again. When Xia Yu was programming, even if many places surprised the employees , they resisted curiosity and did not dare to disturb Xia Yu. Soon, fifteen minutes later, as Xia Yu finally pressed Run, the result came out smoothly, instead of the program error that employees were tired of. "Wow¡­¡­" "This problem is solved again, it''s incredible, my god..." ... Next, Xia Yu did not stop, letting Andy Rose once again take out the problems that bothered the company. Since he decided to subdue the core R&D department of the entire company in this way, Xia Yu certainly would not hide his edge. For programmers with straight-minded minds, the best way is to convince them with their ability to gain their respect and admiration. Being sharp is the best. One two, three four... In the morning, the exclamation of the entire technology research and development department kept ringing. Every time Xia Yu successfully solved a problem, he would get a burst of exclamation. Of course, there are also the eyes that the employees worship. Anyway, when Xia Yu stopped, all the employees of the entire department looked at Xia Yu in the same way as a star fanatic, with stars in their eyes. Xia Yu swept over everyone, and said in a calm but loud voice: "Now, let me officially introduce myself. I am the chairman of Polaris Capital. Seattle Computer Products has been acquired by us, and the CEO reappears in the company. Previously, I would temporarily replace the CEO." Andy Rose immediately applauded and shouted: "Welcome to the CEO!" The others woke up like a dream, immediately shouting loudly: "Welcome to the CEO!" In this shout, they revealed their recognition and respect for Xia Yu. Seeing this scene, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 787: Develop operating system On May 8, a piece of news appeared in major newspapers in the United States and aroused huge public attention. It was the lawsuit between Turner Broadcasting Company and the US Communications Commission that finally ended. The court ruled that Turner Broadcasting Company won the case and the US Communications Commission must not prevent Turner Broadcasting Company from using satellites to establish a TV network. Ted Turner, who was betting on everything, achieved a phased victory. Coupled with the capital of Xia Yu and the assistance of Jiuding News Agency, Ted Turner''s wireless news network plan will be smooth. Next, it''s up to Ted Turner to implement it. Xia Yu specifically called Ted Turner to congratulate him. ... The next day, Xia Yu came to Seattle Computer Products Company again and held the first formal high-level meeting. In the meeting room, Xia Yu''s eyes swept across everyone''s faces, and the full mental state of the people satisfied Xia Yu. He said loudly, "Everyone is here, then we have a meeting now." "I have learned about the company''s business in the past few days, and it can be said that they are all developing well." Hearing this, many senior executives couldn''t help but smile. But then, as soon as Xia Yu talked to the front line, their smiles froze. He only heard Xia Yu say: "However, our company has not been very prominent in these businesses. Even the best businesses have not done absolutely anything. There is still competition." "More importantly, the software business of large computers and small computers has a small market capacity and slower market growth. Even if our company has an absolute advantage in these businesses, the company''s revenue can only increase by two to three. Times, and it will take more than three years, which is the best judgment I expected." In fact, what Xia Yu said is more euphemistic. The software market is like a cloud. More importantly, whether or not the business can be won is often not determined by how good the product is. The dominant computer market today is IBM, and the dominant computer market today is American Digital Equipment Corporation. Both of these companies dominate their respective fields. Although there are still competitors, such as Texas Instruments, there is a gap. Still relatively large. At this time, the software adaptability of each computer is also different. Some software companies have already intensively cultivated. If they want to grab the software business, the difficulty is several times or even ten times greater than the initial competition. For the stability of product performance, computer production companies will not easily change partners. Even if they want to change software, they will be cautious. This takes a long time. During this period of time, the original market occupants will never sit still. Seeing everyone showing their contemplative or solemn faces, Xia Yu continued: "The market for mainframe computers and minicomputers has become stable, and the pattern is basically set, but now there is a larger market, that is, the microcomputer market. A market that has not yet competed for a winner." "In the future, all of the company''s business will focus on small computers and develop various software suitable for small computers." At this moment, a subordinate raised his hand, Xia Yu stopped talking, nodded slightly and said, "Dixie, what''s the problem with you?" Dixie said bluntly: "President, I have doubts. Now in the company''s business, large-scale computer software business accounts for more than 55 percent, small-scale computer software business accounts for 50%, and microcomputer software business. Only less than five percent." "Moreover, according to a statistical survey conducted by the American Computer Association this year, the market size of small computers is only about five percent of that of large computers." "The most prominent one is Apple, which almost dominates the market, but Apple will develop its own software. This part of the market is also internally digested by them, leaving us with a smaller market." "According to the current market situation, our company directly positions the microcomputer software market in the first place, and resources are tilted on a large scale. Will it be too radical?" Dixie''s words reached the heart of many people, and they all looked at Xia Yu. Dixie would have such a view. He can only say that he underestimated the microcomputer market, but Xia Yu expressed his understanding. At this time, although AppleII has caused a great sensation, everyone still believes that microcomputers are tools, not every family needs it. It can be said that although institutions, media, or practitioners overestimate the microcomputer market as much as possible, it is impossible for anyone who has never seen the future generations to know that microcomputers are what changes the world. If everyone present has this pattern, then everyone will be willing to lose the current market and try their best to attack the microcomputer software market. It''s a pity that Xia Yu can''t talk about these things. He smiled slightly and said, "Dixie, and you, don''t look at Apple. Yes, in the microcomputer market, Apple has taken the lead, but this is not absolute." "IBM was slow to respond, and inadvertently made the American Digital Equipment Company rush out and become a giant of small computers, and now it is even eroding the market for large computers." "But since this kind of thing happened once, it won''t happen a second time, otherwise IBM will not be able to explain it to all investors." "If IBM goes off to attack the microcomputer market, do you think Apple can stand it?" As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads subconsciously. A joke, only practitioners know the horror of IBM. This is the existence that has dominated the computer market for decades. Since the computer was invented, it has been the overlord so far, even if the American Digital Equipment Corporation and Texas Instruments are eyeing, Still not overthrowing the dominion of IBM. When the small computer appeared, although IBM was late to respond, relying on its strength, it still broke the siege. It is now the second strongest in small computers. If IBM ends up competing in the microcomputer market, then Apple''s current advantages will be difficult to maintain. IBM''s sixty to seventy years of history is not a joke. IBM''s relationship with major suppliers and its ability to keep costs down far exceeds that of Apple. Not to mention internationally, IBM''s international channels can easily crush Apple and all competitors of small computers, and before they leave the US market, they can occupy all of the international market. Dixie thought for a moment, and then asked: "President, your hypothesis is reasonable, but I still have a question. How do you determine when IBM will enter the field of microcomputers? What is the standard for IBM microcomputers? What?" This issue is also of concern to everyone. Many people are paying attention to the actions of IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, and Texas Instruments, but no news has been received so far. If it is now reported that IBM will enter the microcomputer market, they will definitely immediately adjust the company''s strategy, prepare for the following competition, and find ways to take the lead. It''s a pity that IBM''s "Chess" program is very strict and it has only been started for less than a month. Now there is no leak, Dixie and others don''t know it is normal. In the eyes of everyone''s expectation and exploration, Xia Yu''s face was straight, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces like a knife, and he said in a deep voice: "What I say next, you just listen to it. It is forbidden to publicize it, understand?" Everyone''s complexion instantly became serious, and their hearts became more and more expectant. Seeing everyone listening, Xia Yu slowly said: "If you have followed, you should know that Polaris Capital is now a major shareholder of IBM, and I happen to be the new director of IBM." "Need more to say?" Andy Rose, Dixie and others all understood Xia Yu''s hidden meaning. Their faces were full of surprises, and they shook their heads and said, "No need." "Dixie, do you have any questions?" Xia Yu asked Dixie with a smile. Dixie smiled awkwardly, and shook his head quickly and said, "President, I have nothing to say. I will completely obey your arrangements." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then looked at other people: "What about you?" "President, I have no objection. I will follow your arrangement." ... Seeing that everyone''s opinions were unified, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said again: "Very well, then the microcomputer software business will be listed as the company''s most important project." "The current two businesses of microcomputer software can continue to be done, but our main manpower will be transferred out to form a department, and there is only one project developed, and that is the operating system of the microcomputer!" PS: The time is urgent, too late to find the typo, modify it later, please Haihan, by the way, please recommend a monthly pass! The next chapter will be later https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 788: Eight thousand eighty eight microprocessor As soon as the voice fell, it was not Dixie who emerged this time, but a senior engineer in another software development department, a stubborn white youth. This person, Xia Yu remembered his name, and his name was Tim Patterson. This guy was told by Andy Rose, a talented engineer in the company, now only twenty-four years old, but the ability to shoot the top three of all engineers, is the elite of the software development department. It''s just that he spends most of the time studying techniques of forgetting to sleep and eat, so he ignores personal hygiene and other things. In order to save time, he doesn''t even hang his beard. This has resulted in his sloppy image with long hair and stubble face. . "President, I have a question. If we want to develop an operating system, what kind of microprocessor are we developing an operating system based on?" Tim Patterson asked. The microprocessor company giant is not only Intel, but also chasers Zilog and Motorola. Among them, Intel has introduced a series of microprocessors, such as the 4004 microprocessor, the 8008 microprocessor, and the 8080 microprocessor. Of course, these are relatively old, and the performance has not kept up with the times. The two latest masterpieces today are the 8086 microprocessor introduced in 1978 and the 8088 microprocessor introduced in 1979. Among them, the 8086 microprocessor is quasi-sixteen-bit. Of course, it is advertised as a sixteen-bit microprocessor. It is Intel¡¯s first sixteen-bit microprocessor with 40,000 transistors on the chip. The 8088 microprocessor introduced in 1979 is actually a simplified version of the 8086 microprocessor. The biggest difference between the two is that the 8086 microprocessor is a sixteen-bit data bus, while the 8088 microprocessor is an eight-bit data bus. In the face of transistors, the 8088 microprocessor has only 29,000, which is much less than the 8086 microprocessor. Intel has two microprocessors, Zilog¡¯s sixteen-bit microprocessor is Z8000, and Motorola¡¯s microprocessor is 68000. In addition to these three, there are other companies in the microprocessor market. Operating systems developed based on different microprocessors have different performances. Since you want to catch on IBM''s rocket, then IBM''s choice on the microprocessor is the key. If the microprocessor chosen by IBM is Motorola¡¯s 68000, and Seattle Computer Products has developed an operating system based on Intel¡¯s 8086 microprocessor, it¡¯s definitely not compatible. Tim Patterson and others do not know how IBM chooses, but Xia Yu is very clear. Although IBM¡¯s current microcomputer R&D department has not determined which microprocessor to choose, Xia Yu knows that later IBM has reached a cooperation with Intel and chose a simplified version of the 8088 microprocessor. And the operating system 86-DOS independently developed by Thyssen Patterson in his free time was based on the Intel 8086 microprocessor. The 8088 microprocessor is a simplified version of the 8086 microprocessor. Although there are differences in performance, the overall framework is roughly the same. It is for this reason that Paul Allen found Thyssen Patterson in his previous life, and spent 59,000 US dollars to buy the 86-DOS operating system he independently developed, and then improved it to fit the 8088 Micro Processor, the new system is named MS-DOS. Now that Xia Yu knows it, he will definitely not make detours anymore. From the very beginning, he pointed to the 8088 microprocessor to develop the operating system. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "The operating system we developed is based on Intel''s 8088 microprocessor." As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, not only Thyssen Patterson frowned, but also CTO Andy Rose sitting next to Xia Yu frowned. He couldn''t figure out why it was the 8088 microprocessor instead of the better-performing 8086 micro Processor? And why is it Intel¡¯s microprocessor instead of Zilog or Motorola¡¯s products? So Andy Rose asked everyone on behalf of the question: "President, why is the Intel 8088 microprocessor? Not Zilog and Motorola? And even with Intel¡¯s microprocessors, if IBM wants to enter the microcomputer The market, logically, will use the best configuration to compete with Apple for the market, otherwise it will be difficult to shine." After speaking, he hesitated for a while, looked at Xia Yu tightly, and asked again: "Is it because IBM has decided to use the 8088 microprocessor?" Xia Yu shook his head and smiled: "Andy, if nothing happens, IBM will choose the 8088 microprocessor." "You should be very clear that the performance of a computer and the processor are only part of the influencing factors. The key is also the overall adaptability. If other components can''t keep up, no matter how good the microprocessor is, it will not be able to exert all the performance." "Instead of this, it is better to choose the most suitable one instead of the most expensive, which can not only reduce costs, but also achieve a balance of product performance." People who used mobile phones in later generations will know that there are many factors affecting the performance of a phone. For example, the iPhone 5 mobile phone has an 8-megapixel camera effect comparable to the 10-megapixel effect of an Android device. The chip performance is not the top at the time, but thanks to the high compatibility with the IOS system, the debugging is good enough. The running speed is much faster than the high-performance Android machine. Closer to home. Hearing Xia Yu said that IBM might choose Intel¡¯s 8088 microprocessor, then Andy Rose has nothing to say. He nodded in agreement and said: "President, you are right, balance is the key. Since IBM has chosen, then I have no other opinion." Xia Yu looked at Thyssen Patterson again, who shook his head and said that he was fine. Xia Yu continued: "If this problem is solved, then continue." "This operating system is the company''s most important project. I need to make it as fast as possible and optimize it as much as possible." "So most of the company''s capable forces will be transferred to the project team." Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Andy Rose and ordered: "Andy, you are the leader of this group." Andy Ross solemnly replied, "Okay!" Xia Yu swept across everyone''s faces again Everyone held their breath, hoping that Xia Yu could touch himself first. But in the end, Xia Yu''s eyes fixed on Thyssen Patterson. Just when the latter showed a pleasant smile, Xia Yu said: "Thyssen, you are the deputy leader of the group." "Thank you for the trust of the president, I will not let you down!" Thyssen Patterson said excitedly. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and then nodded Jack Rhodes as another deputy team leader. After finishing the order, Xia Yu saw other people showing regrets. He comfortedly said: "This project, you are all team members, don''t care about the position, if you have a good idea, you can directly put it forward, the project team It is adjusted at any time." "I will serve as the instructor of the project team, and for a while, I will try my best to overcome difficulties with everyone." "Are you confident?" "Have!" Everyone shouted in unison. Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, and I will choose other programmers to join the project team. Remember, what I said to you today must not be spread." Everyone knows the doorways and risks involved, so Qiqi newspapers will not leak them. Those present were all the company¡¯s top executives, who had the strongest sense of belonging to the company, and was overwhelmed by Xia Yu yesterday. Naturally, the company¡¯s interests are the mainstay, and the most basic professional ethics will definitely be abided by. In the morning, the project team was formed. In the afternoon, all members of the working group gathered together, and Xia Yu held a brainstorming meeting to brainstorm. Soon, the operating system project was on the right track and was being developed at a very fast rate. PS: At the end of the month, the ticket is hidden. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 789: Starbucks The complexity of the current operating system is far less than that of later generations. After all, the function of the computer is still relatively single. With Xia Yu''s guidance and the entire company''s full production, the efficiency is simply not too fast. In his previous life, Thyssen Patterson edited the QDOS system in only six weeks in his spare time. Although there are many loopholes, you can see how difficult it is to make an operating system. . With all the efforts, the SCP-DOS system of Seattle Computer Products Company has been perfected at a very fast speed. The reason why it is called the SCP-DOS system is because the English name of Seattle Computer Products Company uses the initial letter of each word as a prefix, which is in line with foreign naming habits and is also very iconic. If you say that at the beginning, you still need Xia Yu to watch and guide, as time goes by, the project team cooperates more and more tacitly, and the programming efficiency becomes higher. That is to say, Xia Yu needs to come forward and give pointers when encountering some difficulties. On the contrary, Xia Yu is the most leisurely one in the entire project team. Staying in a confined space all day is indeed a bit depressing, and Xia Yu goes out from time to time to relax and breathe fresh air. This afternoon, Xia Yu came out of the company and walked along the highway. Tired of walking, he wanted to find a place to relax. Looking around, a shop attracted his attention. This is a coffee shop, the logo of the coffee shop is gray, and a bit explicit. It was a two-tailed mermaid. The mermaid had no shells and had a direct dew point. In the circular space on the outer circle, there was a line of English surrounded by -. Chinese translation is-Starbucks Coffee. This trademark is somewhat different from the later green LOGO, but the basic subject is still the same. Thinking of the glory of Starbucks coffee in future generations, Xia Yu couldn''t help crossing the road and walked into the Starbucks coffee shop. "Welcome, what kind of coffee do you need? This is a catalog of reasons." An obese middle-aged man in his forties in plaid suspender jeans asked kindly, and pointed to a sign erected on the table. "Let me take a look first!" Xia Yu finished speaking and looked at the list. "A latte!" There are not too many varieties of coffee, there are only six kinds in total. Xia Yu ordered a latte and sat directly on the high stool in front of the counter, planning to drink it on the counter. "OK, just a second!" After the middle-aged fat man finished speaking, he picked up coffee beans and grind them quickly. Xia Yu sat on a stool and looked at the scene in the store casually. There were only seven customers drinking coffee in the store, including him. At this point in time, business was average. The layout of the Starbucks coffee shop is definitely inferior to later generations, but it can also be seen in the details that the layout is more careful. "Sir, your coffee is ready! Please use it slowly!" "Thank you!" "The smell is very fragrant." Xia Yu took a deep breath and gave a pertinent evaluation, making the middle-aged fat man smile. "Thank you for your approval!" Xia Yu was drinking coffee, and seeing that there were no new guests coming, the middle-aged fat man was wiping the washed cups with a towel, and Xia Yu chatted with him. "Hi, store manager, what do you call it?" "My name is Walker Sam, how about you?" "Hello Walker, my name is Xia Yu." "Xia Yu? Your name is very strange, and it''s awkward to pronounce." ... "Walker, can you tell me about your Starbucks coffee?" "Of course, I still know this very well. I am one of the earliest employees of Starbucks Coffee." "And now this store is the first store of Starbucks Coffee. At that time, I was just a waiter. I was promoted to the manager of the No. 1 store the year before. Now, after nine years of development, our company has 13 coffee shops... ¡­" It seems that every fat man is very talkative. Walker Sam talked about the development history of Starbucks coffee, and digressed from time to time to talk about his experience. Xia Yu has always maintained patience, being a good listener, smiling throughout the whole process, and nodding from time to time, which makes Walker Sam''s desire to chat greatly increased. Fortunately, just when Xia Yu''s cup of coffee was about to bottom out, the shop opened and a couple came in. The middle-aged fat man Walker Sam looked regretful and stopped the conversation still. Xia Yu had to wonder how boring Walker Sam was as the store manager. "Manager Walker, I have something to do, so I will leave first. The coffee is delicious and your story is very interesting." Xia Yu got up and said with a smile. "Mr. Xia, thank you for being my audience, and welcome to come again next time." Walker Sam took the time to turn around and said to Xia Yu, with a very warm attitude. "Okay, bye!" "Goodbye!" Waved to Walker Sam, Xia Yu opened the door and walked out. He looked back at the gray mermaid logo on the sign, smiled, and left with the bodyguards who had been guarding near the door. After returning, Xia Yu immediately ordered his assistant to find a way to investigate Starbucks Coffee and then acquire it. At the same time, Xia Yu made a phone call to Korn Ferry International, asking Richard Ferry for help, and digging a man named Howard Schultz from Xerox to help him. Howard Schultz is the man who created the legend of Starbucks coffee and gave him his soul. It can be said that for the success of Starbucks coffee, Howard Schultz takes 80% of the credit, which is his importance to Starbucks coffee. ... Two days later, Xia Yu came out of the project team and met the executives recruited by Korn Ferry for Seattle Computer Products. There are three CEO interviewers, two men and one woman. They are all elites in the computer industry. The lowest one has a resume as an executive vice president of a company. After some interviews, Xia Yu left behind Barker Daniel, who is 32 years old, young and vigorous, and still very quick-thinking, temporarily acting as CEO of the company, and will undergo Xia Yu''s severe inspection in the next month~www.novelhall.com ~Only when the inspection is qualified, the word temporary will be removed. After interviewing candidates for the CEO position, Xia Yu met a twenty-four-year-old young man, Steve Ballmer, who had commissioned Korn Ferry to hire him alone. This man who graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Harvard University and graduated with a master''s degree from the Stanford University Business School is the CEO and President of the later Microsoft Corporation, a billion-dollar rich man, and the owner of the NBA Clippers. However, Steve Ballmer''s successes in later generations are all due to his outstanding contributions after joining Microsoft in 1980 and his acquisition of shares in Microsoft. Today, he is just a young man who has just left university for less than a year. After cutting Steve Ballmer''s arrogance, Xia Yu appointed him as the company''s executive vice president to assist Buck Daniel in managing the company. Of course, he also has a one-month inspection period because Xia Yu is still not at ease. Steve Ballmer''s outstanding achievements in his previous life does not mean that his current ability is qualified for this job. After all, potential belongs to potential and ability belongs to ability. But if Xia Yu doesn¡¯t recruit him, maybe in a few months, Bill Gates will recruit him. Then the uncertainty will be even greater. As long as you move your mouth, you can avoid trouble. Of course Xia Yu Prevent and weaken Microsoft as much as possible. Within three days after the interview, the two officially took up their posts. Xia Yu''s work pressure was reduced again, and he fully assisted in the development of the SCP-DOS system. Before you know it, time flies into June. PS: The problem has been found, the inspiration is not enough, the outline is not detailed enough, and it is being adjusted. Please be more forgiving, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 790: CNN launch June 1st, International Children''s Day. Of course, Xia Yu will not celebrate this holiday, but his major companies are celebrating this holiday. Especially for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., most of its customer groups are children. Various toy comics are promoted very grandly. At the same time, large-scale comic exhibitions and parades are held. Every Manke Home store in Asia has become a sea of ??joy. In addition, the Jiuding Charity Fund managed by Li Qian is for children, and on this day, it is dedicated to love through a series of activities. ... Early in the morning, after Xia Yu finished Tai Chi from his home in Seattle and had breakfast, he did not immediately leave for the company. Instead, he sat in the living room uncharacteristically and turned on the TV. The villa that Xia Yu lives in was just bought by him as his base in Seattle. Seattle already has one of his companies, which means that he will come more frequently in the future. He does not need the money to stay in the hotel. The key is that it is inconvenient to live in the hotel, so he simply bought a villa. This model will be very common in the future. As long as one place is frequent, Xia Yu will buy a house. Maybe in the future, maybe Xia Yu''s real estate will spread all over the world, as many as hundreds of sets. With the expansion speed of Xia Yu''s career, this is very possible. Pressing the remote control, Xia Yu changed channels one by one. After switching to one channel, he saw the red CNN logo in the upper left corner. Xia Yu immediately stopped pressing down and watched with interest. "Now we are broadcasting an international news. The Canadian province of Quebec held an independence parade yesterday..." A beautiful news anchor with a good-looking voice and a beautiful voice, with a smile, broadcasted an international news without any haste, and at the same time repeated literal news under the TV. Xia Yu saw it for ten minutes. The smile on his face has been maintained, and he seems very satisfied with the show. "Ted Turner is really a media wizard, and the show did a good job." Xia Yu commented with a smile. "But thanks to my capital and Jiuding News Agency, there are no two in the previous life. It will take a few years to achieve this quality." Xia Yu shook his head and sighed. The previous generation Ted Turner wanted to build a wireless news network. He recruited media majors at a low price if there were not enough staff. After a few years, the recruited professional news anchors couldn''t stand the pressure and resigned. After all, CNN broadcasts news 24 hours a day, even if it is divided into three shifts, the pressure is too great. Who can watch the boring news every day? That is for exercise and experience, relatively innocent students are easy to fool. However, in this life, with the help of Xia Yu, Ted Turner took his time to build a team directly, seeking the best from all kinds of basic things, and wanted to reap the favor of the audience from the very beginning and increase the audience¡¯s interest. loyalty. After thinking about it, Xia Yu picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the phone in the office of the president of Turner Broadcasting Company. After it was switched on, Ted Turner''s unique and loud voice came through the microphone, and he knew that he was in a good mood. "Ted, it''s me, Xia Yu." "..." "I''m watching our program, it''s really great, the quality is very high, you really are a media wizard..." "Any suggestion next? I think about it, there really is one." "Since CNN is doing news, our news editing team must enter the highest level of each country to be able to get heavy news as soon as possible." "For the time being, we don¡¯t care about other countries, but the White House, we have to go in. Now the White House¡¯s news editing rights are monopolized by the three major television networks, and they are boycotting all peers to enter. This is absolutely impossible. If CNN is to become a true media giant On the same level as the three major television networks, they must attend the conferences of the White House. However, the three major television networks will never turn a blind eye, and they will definitely push the government to prevent it." "If this happens at that time, you will still need to file a lawsuit again and defend our company''s rights with the law. If there is any need for me to contribute, you will tell me the first time..." "Okay, that''s it, goodbye!" After talking for more than ten minutes, Xia Yu hung up the phone and looked at the TV screen again. At this time, it was a livelihood news in the United States. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, pressed the red button to turn off the TV, got up and picked up his jacket to go out. There is no need to watch the show anymore, more than ten minutes is enough to show most of the things. Under the control of crazy Ted Turner, CNN is destined to succeed in the absence of financial shortcomings. As long as it breaks through the blockade of the three major television networks and becomes the fourth television station to attend major meetings of the White House, then CNN''s domestic news gathering and editing capabilities will not be inferior to those of the three major television networks. Ted Turner is never afraid of the three major TV networks, and Xia Yu is even less afraid, just do it anyway. When he went out and got on the bus, Xia Yu did not go to the company, but went straight to the Starbucks coffee shop with his assistant. Because I am here today, I will sign a contract. Under Xia Yu¡¯s financial stick, Starbucks Coffee¡¯s owner Xiao Ke Anthony couldn¡¯t stand it at all. The staff of Polaris Capital had talked with him for more than ten days, and finally the negotiation was concluded. When it came to signing the contract, the owner of Starbucks seemed to want to review his own industry for the last time, so he set the signing location at Starbucks Coffee No. 1 store. Xia Yu came to this store, of course, there is no opinion. Before long, Xia Yu''s car arrived at the door of Starbucks Coffee No.1 Store. After parking the car, Xia Yu led people to the store. As soon as he opened the door, it was the store manager Walker Sam who was seen. Seeing Xia Yu, who hadn''t seen him for a long time, Walker Sam, who had a sad look on his face, cleared up his mood and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, welcome, what do I need to have today?" Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Manager Walker, I''ll order later. I think you didn''t look good just now. Did you encounter any problems?" It seemed that I had a good chat with Xia Yu. In the face of Xia Yu, a loyal audience, Walker Sam thought for a while, sighed and said, "Yes, I heard that our boss is going to sell the company, and I remembered starting a business with him. , But now I have to part, I feel very disappointed." "And I don''t know what kind of person the new boss is. What should I do if he replaces me or fires me? My family needs my stable salary. Now the social employment pressure is high. If I am I lost my job and it''s hard to find another one, so what should I do, hey..." Seeing Walker Sam¡¯s sad face, Xia Yu smiled happily. In Walker Sam¡¯s surprised eyes, Xia Yu smiled and comforted: "Walker, rest assured, with your ability, I think the new boss You will never be fired." Walker Sam thought that Xia Yu was comforting himself, and he felt better, so he cleaned up his mood and said apologetically, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your comfort. I''m sorry to have caused you trouble just now." "It didn''t bother me You don''t need to think too much." Xia Yu shook his head and smiled. At this moment, the assistant said in Xia Yu''s ear: "Chairman, he has already come and is there." Xia Yu followed the assistant''s line of sight and saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking towards here with a subordinate. Walker Sam was also attracted by Xia Yu''s actions. After seeing the incoming person, he stood up straight and whispered to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, our boss is here, let''s not talk." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then waited for someone to come in. Xia Yu¡¯s assistant immediately introduced Xia Yu to the visitor: "Mr. Xiao Ke, good morning, this is the chairman of our company I mentioned to you before, Mr. Xia Yuxia." "Mr. Xiao Ke, hello!" Xia Yu said hello with a smile and stretched out his hand. Shaoke Anthony immediately shook hands with Xia Yu, and said apologetically: "Mr. Xia, I''m sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. There was a traffic jam on the road just now. I''m really sorry." Xia Yu smiled carelessly: "I understand, shall we talk about it now?" "Of course, but before that, shall we have a drink first?" "Okay, Shop Manager Walker, please give me a latte." Xia Yu smiled and said to Walker Sam who was dumbfounded. "Walker, give me a cup of black coffee." Seeing Walker Sam''s expression, Shaoke Anthony frowned slightly, but he didn''t blame him. He just raised the volume a little and woke Walker Sam up. "Oh, yes, it will be done soon, please wait!" Walker Sam woke up immediately, took a deep breath, gave Xia Yu a complicated look, turned around and started making coffee. "Mr. Xiao Ke, please!" "Mr. Xia, please!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 791: A global financial layout There are two flowers and one branch each. The time has been pulled back more than twenty days. When Xia Yu was hunting major prey in the United States, his layout in the United Kingdom was quietly calculated. Lohill Family Manor. The head of the family, Jacob Lowhill, was holding a watering can and leisurely watering the flowerbed when suddenly a string of footsteps came from far and near. Jacob Rohill looked back, smiled, and said softly, "Dear Evelyn, you are back." With that said, Jacob Lowhill glanced at the briefcase in his cousin Evelyn Lowhill. "Yeah! The investigation is almost done." Evelyn Rohill said with a slight nod, as if thinking of something, his expression was a bit inexplicable, as if he was admiring, sighing, and solemn. Jacob Rohill noticed the different look of his cousin, frowned slightly, put down the watering can and said, "Let''s go, let''s talk inside." After speaking, the two went to the back room one after another. As soon as they sat down, the servant made coffee expertly. Evelyn Jacobs didn¡¯t mess with the mud. He directly opened the briefcase, took out a document from it, and handed it to Jacob Rosill. He said with emotion, ¡°Jacob, this is what we have done so far. The little guy was very wary of the information he collected. He didn''t do things like a young man at all, he was like an old fox." Jacob Rohill did not expect his cousin to make such a sigh. A curiosity arose in his heart, and he took the document and looked at it from beginning to end. For a while, the room fell into silence. For a long time, Jacob Rohill put down the files in his hand, and the smile he kept at the beginning was nowhere to be seen. He said to Evelyn Rohill: "Unexpectedly, he is indeed a cunning fox. We I underestimated him, and he grew to this level without paying attention, but it was still under our noses, moving money from our treasury." The Rothschild family is the financial hegemon of the United Kingdom. The Barclays Bank, the largest bank in the United Kingdom, is the core of their family. The tentacles have penetrated the country¡¯s second largest bank, Westminster Bank, HSBC Holdings, and even the British aristocracy. The Lloyds Bank of the alliance has opened a small hole. These banks are the banks behind the London Gold Exchange. It can be said that the London Gold Exchange with the largest gold trading scale in the world is the site of the Rohill family. But it was in the London Gold Exchange, which they regarded as their domain, that a large amount of funds was accidentally taken away by Xia Yu. Investigation intelligence shows that Xia Yu''s party has seized more than five billion US dollars from the London Gold Exchange. This is the limit they can investigate. The hands-on companies include Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Insurance Company, Jiuding Securities Company under Jiuding Financial Group, as well as Bright Fund and Galaxy Fund, as well as other unknown companies that may exist. Of course, in fact, Xia Yu''s profits exceeded tens of billions of dollars, and his operating funds were as high as 20 billion dollars. However, Xia Yu was careful to prevent the Rohill family from discovering it from the beginning, so the concealment methods became more and more complicated. After all, the Roshir family does not completely control the entire London Gold Exchange. For example, Lloyds Bank will not show the user''s information and transaction data to the Roshir family, so they can''t check it if they only find a part. . But the five billion dollars found was enough to shock Jacob Rohill. Xia Yu was the chess piece they focused on, so they invested a lot of manpower and material resources to gather intelligence. They originally wanted to slowly figure it out and infiltrate Xia Yu¡¯s business map without arousing Xia Yu¡¯s disgust. It is now being implemented, but they never thought that Xia Yu¡¯s strength soared, and he still held a big At this time, the Rohill family''s calculations are difficult with working capital. In the end, although they increased their attention to Xia Yu as much as possible, they still underestimated Xia Yu''s ability. "Jacob, this is only the information we can collect, and there is still a lot of information that we cannot collect, especially in Xiangjiang. He has his own armed forces and secretly has a team of elite agents. It is already difficult for our people to collect. His secret information." Evelyn Rohill said solemnly. "It now appears that he is definitely a genius among geniuses, no worse than the original John Rockefeller and John Pierpont Morgan, and even more outstanding performance. If we leave it alone, Asia will have another top consortium. Now He also reached out into the island country and acquired a top regional bank, Chiba Bank. The six major consortia of the island country are not very vigilant. Maybe the six consortia of the island country cannot stop him!" "We have to adjust our strategy. We can''t let it go. But he has focused on the UK and it is easy to directly compete with us!" Jacob Rohill''s face sank as water, and he nodded slightly to think. For a long time, Jacob Roshere seemed to say to himself: "He holds so many funds, his weaknesses can be reduced indefinitely. Until the funds are not spent, any of our calculations poses little threat to him, let alone He is like a rat, holding the company not going public, and always privatizing the company, which is too cautious." Evelyn Rohill echoed: "Yes, now he owns Jiuding Bank and Chiba Bank, and is now acquiring Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland. If these two banks succeed, his funds will be more hidden. The funds that can be mobilized will be far more than 5 billion U.S. dollars, and it will be even more troublesome then!" "Not to mention, what he is best at is investment. Jiuding Securities, Galaxy Fund, Bright Fund, and his North Star Capital Company in the United States, with his investment vision that has never made mistakes, if they all grow up, a global financial The empire is formed, and he will become another Morgan by then!" "Jacob, even we did not expect that the international gold price would soar, but he started to make arrangements a long time ago and he started so resolutely, his ability and vision are too terrible!" "Can we control him?" Thinking of the Rohill family¡¯s sixth empire in its heyday, neither the Morgan family nor the Rockefeller family could be controlled, and they were stabbed several times by the two, which directly disrupted the rules of the game and caused the Rohill family¡¯s population to plummet. The Jewish foundation on which it depends has been devastated. It can be said that the reason why the Roshir family fell, seems to be the credit of the moustache, but they don''t know how the moustache can rise, part of the factor is that the Roshir family wants to make war fortune and indulge. But the bigger reason is that the Morgan and Rockefeller families gave Moustache political, economic and industrial support behind them, and used Moustache to overthrow the Rohill family¡¯s Sixth Empire. Nowadays, the Rohill family is no longer at its peak. Not only is it blocked by the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums that have swapped positions, the two are also trying to trap them in Europe and cut off the tentacles of the Rohill family in North America. In Europe, the relationship between the ancient families and the Rohill family is also very complicated. How many big families cooperated with the Rohill family, but in fact they secretly boycotted the Rohill family to prevent the Rohill family from rising again into Europe. Overlord, above all families and consortia? However, Xia Yu has left the most vulnerable early stage of growth and has self-insured capital. Under this circumstance, it is too difficult for the Rohir family to control Xia Yu, who spans nearly half of the earth! It was Evelyn Roshir who had seen big winds and waves. After learning about Xia Yu''s latest intelligence, he didn''t have much confidence. PS: The outline is already being adjusted, please be patient and tolerant, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 792: Bank acquisition blocked Jacob Rohill''s face grew gloomy as he listened, but he kept deducing in his mind. For a long time, he shook his head and said: "We missed the best opportunity to control him, unless he made a big mistake later or created a trap to lead him in." "Before his funds are exhausted, his self-protection ability is the strongest." Evelyn Jacobs nodded in agreement: "Yes, then we continue to look for opportunities?" Jacob Rohill nodded without thinking: "Of course, it''s rare to find such a person and can''t give up easily." "Isn''t his Polaris Capital company buying companies in the United States? It seems to be eyeing Abbott. The market value of this company has reached 2.8 billion US dollars. If he wants to acquire it, at least 3 billion US dollars." "We don''t know his funds now, but conservatively estimated that it is six billion US dollars. According to his habit, he doesn''t like leveraged buyout companies. If he spends all the money, he can get out of his funds just by acquiring Abbott. half!" "If there are more of these, his funds will be exhausted and his threat will be reduced." Evelyn Lowhill smiled and said: "According to his trend, it will definitely attract the attention of those American consortiums. If a person of yellow race dares to grab cakes in the United States on a large scale, I believe those two traitors will not tolerate it. " "The two traitors can instigate the European consortium and families to encircle us. Of course, we can also ask him to cause trouble for them. If he can win the best, there will be chaos in the United States. Of course, the probability of him winning is almost zero. At that time we will extend a helping hand to him again, I believe he will not refuse." The two of them thought very well, but they didn¡¯t know that Xia Yu was not eating dry food. The Tiger Fund and Qiaoshui Fund alone were very hidden. It was fine that Xia Yu tried not to go. Even if he did, he was very careful. Therefore, the Rohill family did not discover the relationship with Xia Yu. As for the amount of Xia Yu''s funds, they far underestimated it. Not to mention them, no one in the world would believe that Xia Yu could have more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of working capital. This is simply a fantasy. Jacob Lowhill smiled and said, "Evelyn, this plan is more complicated. We will improve it when that happens. Before that, we have to disrupt his layout. We can''t wait any longer. Even if it arouses his disgust, it doesn''t matter." "The U.S. capital pyramid has already taken shape. As long as he wants to gain a foothold in the U.S., the higher he goes, the more noticeable he will be. Conflicts with established American consortia are inevitable." "He is a wise man. A wise man naturally understands the choice between emotions and interests. When he is about to fall into the abyss, even if he hates us, he will hide his emotions. Ask us to save him!" Evelyn Rohill nodded in agreement and thought about asking: "If you disrupt his layout, we have three places in the UK where we can do it. They are Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank and Jaguar. Which one? Or three together?" Jacob Rohill thought for a while and directly ruled out Jaguar Motors: "Don¡¯t stop Jaguar Motors. We can¡¯t stop it. Now Leland Motor Group has been acquired, and Sir William Lyons has been persuaded by Duke Howard. Now, the chance we blocked is too small." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "Moreover, this acquisition was approved by Ms. Margaret, and the parliament has passed. Duke Howard is also a shareholder of Rolls-Royce Motor Group. We cannot offend any of them. ." Don''t look at the Rohill family standing at the top of British capital, but in fact they are under great pressure. Although the Roshir family is also a nobleman, it only holds a baronial title at the bottom, and is not a member of the ancient noble alliance. Coupled with the behavior of the Roshir family at its peak, the ancient British family has a strong The Er family is very vigilant. Although the Lohill family has cooperation with some large families, it is only limited to business, and more is competition and confrontation. In the modern business environment, cooperation and competition coexist, and the confrontation in secret has never stopped. The Howard family is among the first few of the British dukes. They are strong and the top level in the ancient aristocratic alliance. Although the Rohill family is not afraid of the Howard family, there is really no need to offend them for no reason. Evelyn Lohill nodded and said with a smile: "He is really great. He gained the friendship of Ms. Margaret during the campaign and was recognized by Duke Howard." Jacob Rohill nodded slightly and said with emotion: "So he has unreasonable maturity. Even the elites cultivated by a large family with all their strength can''t reach his level at this age." After sighing, Jacob Lowhill continued to talk about business: "Well, let''s talk about business first." "The Bright Fund is registered in the United Kingdom. The Banking Act introduced last year cannot prevent it from acquiring Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank. However, these two banks have the right to issue notes and the Bank of England has the right to intervene. They have cleared the relationship and secretly Large-scale acquisitions of equity, if we want to succeed at one time, we must stop it!" The full name of the Banking Act mentioned by Jacob Rohill is the "British Banking Act 1979". The formulation of this law can be said to be an important turning point in the history of British financial control. It is the first complete one in the history of the United Kingdom. Banking law. The reason why such a banking law was enacted was because the financial crisis broke out from 1973 to 1975, which caused severe damage to the British financial industry. Among them, foreign banks bought British banks on a large scale, so the British had to protect their banks and strengthen the banking industry. Supervision. Fortunately, it is still only the first complete banking law. If in 1987, the United Kingdom passed the "Banking Act 1987", the law stated that "before any investor intends to acquire more than 15% of the equity in the Bank of England, Must be approved by the Bank of England". At that time, the Bright Fund will not be able to buy banks so unscrupulously. Having said that, the banks acquired by Bright Fund are also special. Standard Chartered Bank is better, that is, it has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, which is less important. However, the Royal Bank of Scotland has the right to issue British pounds, and the Bank of England can justifiably intervene. Whether it is willing to intervene depends on the strength and connections of the acquirer. George Berkeley had already taken care of the relationship before, and Elena had also used the Howard family''s relationship. There was no risk. But now it''s easy for the Rohill family to make a difference. However, Evelyn Lowhill did not agree with Jacob Roshere¡¯s idea of ??stopping He shook his head and questioned: "Jacob, I don¡¯t think we need to stop at the beginning. This is a good opportunity to penetrate his career. If he can accept it, then we can proceed to the next test." Jacob Rosier was taken aback, and instantly understood his cousin Evelyn Rosier''s plan, and nodded: "Your idea is better. Now he holds the deadly handle of the two banks, but we don''t Not afraid of this risk, you can rush to acquire a part of the equity and become his partner." "But we also have to show our strength." "Now Standard Chartered Bank''s equity has been almost acquired by Bright Fund, and it must have exceeded the absolute holding line. We can acquire as many as we can. I believe he will not fight for capital injection with us as long as he is wise." "If the Royal Bank of Scotland, get at least 40% of the equity, see how he chooses, try his attitude!" "If he doesn''t know how to share with us, then let his acquisition go through!" ... On this day, Jacob Rohill and Evelyn Rohill discussed for several hours to perfect the plan to the level of detail. That afternoon, the Rohill family moved. The executives of Barclays Bank, the largest bank in the United Kingdom, came forward to approach the shareholders of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank. In the choice between Bright Fund and Barclays Bank, there is no doubt that all shareholders who did not sell their equity chose Barclays Bank. George Berkeley, who had been running smoothly, immediately realized that something was wrong after hitting the wall several times. When he inquired carefully, the news that he got made his face greatly changed. He didn''t dare to take the slightest chance, so he immediately called Xia Yu on the other side of the ocean. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 793: Static braking After acquiring Starbucks Coffee, Xia Yu appointed Howard Schultz, hired from Xerox, as the general manager of Starbucks. It also took a day to draw the logo of later Starbucks, and wrote an elite version of the development plan based on the development context of later Starbucks. After giving all these things to Howard Schultz, Xia Yu became the shopkeeper. With the real soul of Starbucks at the helm, as well as the guidance and funds of his high-ranking house, who succeeds if Starbucks is unsuccessful? Originally because of the acquisition of Starbucks, Xia Yu was in a good mood. But after receiving a call from George Berkeley, Xia Yu''s good mood was completely destroyed. "...Hey, boss, are you still listening?" Feeling Xia Yu''s silence for a long time, George Berkeley on the other end of the phone asked. Xia Yu, who was thinking, recovered, with a gloomy eyebrow, and said in a calm tone: "George, relax, you first tell me about the acquisition of the two banks." George Berkeley''s voice came from the microphone again: "Boss, before the acquisition of the two banks, I have already opened up the relationship, and the shareholders of the two banks have also helped us to clear the relationship in order to prevent thunder. The Bank of England has agreed." "So far, Standard Chartered Bank has been privatized and we have acquired 83.2% of the equity." "As for the Royal Bank of Scotland, because it involves the right to issue British pounds, there are more obstacles, and it took a lot of time to clear it. It has only acquired 62.5% of the equity..." Xia Yu had been listening quietly, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes when he heard about the acquisition of the proportion of shares in Royal Bank of Scotland. What if the shareholding ratio exceeds 66.7%! But things have already happened, and the smooth wind during this period of time almost made him lose his vigilance. Now suddenly there was an accident, but it seemed real and normal. Now, Barclays Bank, the overlord of the Bank of England, basically doesn''t need to think about it. The shares of Royal Bank of Scotland can only be acquired so much. "Boss, what should we do now? We have an absolute controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank. If Barclays Bank does not sell its equity, should we inject capital to dilute their equity? But I still don''t know the purpose of Barclays Bank... ¡­" Listening to the words of George Berkeley in the microphone, Xia Yu thinks more and more deeply. He is different from George Berkeley. He knows who the real owner of Barclays Bank is. Barclays Bank acquired the shares of two banks at the same time. He didn''t believe that this was an accident. It was probably premeditated, and the Rohill family was calculating him. Thinking of this, Xia Yu became more calm. He thought for a while and told George Berkeley: "George, calm down and continue to acquire equity as planned. There is no need to dilute the equity or contact Barclays to see how they react. , I won¡¯t go there, you will notify me as soon as there is news." "By the way, be careful not to leak the news of the losses of the two banks. Barclays Bank has intervened. The benefits of the two banks'' thunderstorms will not fall on us. There is no need to reduce the acquisition cost for Barclays." ... After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu stood in front of the window sill with his hands in his hands, looking at the blue sky, and taking a deep breath, all kinds of guesses appeared in his mind. "Forget it, let''s wait for them to make a move first to see what medicine they sell in the gourd!" For a long time, Xia Yu muttered to himself. Shaking his head, he cleared the messy thoughts, made a few calls back to Xiangjiang, and ordered his subordinates to be vigilant in the near future, and immediately report to him if there is anything abnormal. It is said that the room leaks even at night rain. Early the next morning, Peter Lynch also reported bad news to him. Polaris Capital''s plan to acquire Abbott seems to have leaked. An unknown institution is doing long Abbott, forcing Abbott¡¯s stock price to rise. As a result, Polaris Capital¡¯s acquisition plan was disrupted, and the possibility of a wholly-owned acquisition continued to decline. Merrill Lynch, the entrusted purchaser, feedback to Peter Lynch that the acquisition plan must be adjusted and the cost needs to be increased. Despite the trouble, Abbott is the most suitable company for the Jiuding Consortium to build a foundation in the biopharmaceutical field. Therefore, the determination to acquire will not change. Even if the cost rises, it doesn''t matter, I''m afraid I can''t spend the money! Therefore, Xia Yu told Peter Lynch to discuss with Merrill Lynch, even if the commission is increased, Merrill Lynch should help to take Abbott down! The successive accidents made Xia Yu aware of something wrong. Because of his knowledge of the Rohill family, he involuntarily assigned the Abbott acquisition accident to the Rohill family. Although this connection may seem outrageous, it is not impossible! Next, what Xia Yu had to do was to stabilize his mind and let the enemy jump out by himself. Of course, the necessary intelligence collection work still needs to be done. ... The Rohill family, London. After reading the data brought back by Evelyn Lowhill, Jacob Lowhill asked: "Evelyn, the Bright Fund now knows about our actions. Did they not respond?" Evelyn Lowhill¡¯s eyes flashed a weird look shook his head and said, ¡°No, people in our bank competed with them once. The Bright Fund must know about us, but strangely they don¡¯t. Any action seems to be regarded as not happening." Jacob Rohill frowned, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled: "Interesting, this can be calm, it''s too calm, it''s not good." "Are there in America?" Evelyn Rohill said: "Someone has been arranged to buy Abbott¡¯s stock. If he wants to buy, it¡¯s not that easy." Jacob Rohill smiled and nodded: "That''s good. Since he doesn''t want to move, let''s take the initiative to attack. It''s time to go out to interview him." "The Royal Bank of Scotland shares have almost been acquired, and retail investors will not hold more than one percent. The rest should be in the Bright Fund. According to the plan, people will be sent to them to initiate a tender offer." Although Royal Bank of Scotland is a listed company, but in many cases, bank shares are different from ordinary stocks, and retail investors don''t have much in their hands because there is no retail investor''s turn to buy. Over the years, the shareholding of Royal Bank of Scotland has undergone many changes and is no longer in the hands of the founder family. There will not be many shares held by the public. Most of the shares are concentrated in the hands of large and small institutions. The shares held by these institutions are also tradable shares, depending on whether they are willing to sell. It is precisely because of this situation that the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank can be so easily acquired collectively. "OK, I arrange for Barclays Bank to go there tomorrow morning." PS: The last three hours will expire without voting! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 794: We came with friendship "Tuk tuk!" The quick knock on the door awakened George Berkeley, who was immersed in the documents. He frowned and looked out the door. He saw his subordinates were holding a document and looked at him anxiously. "Bickley, what''s the matter?" Bickley¡¯s subordinate walked in quickly and said hurriedly: "General Manager, something has happened. People from Barclays Bank have come to our company. They are now below. I have asked them to entertain them." "As soon as they entered the door, they gave me the offer and didn''t hide their intentions at all." George Berkeley''s eyes condensed, and he immediately took the takeover offer in Bickley''s hand and looked at it carefully. The more he looked down, his face became more solemn, his brows furrowed, and he did not hide his feelings at all. His mind was focused on thinking about the purpose of Barclays Bank. After a long time, he took a deep breath, still planning to follow the instructions of his boss Xia Yu, and let Barclays Bank move first, and then respond according to their actions. If you can¡¯t handle it later, it¡¯s up to the boss Xia Yu to decide. George Berkeley put the tender offer into a drawer, and Bikley ordered: "Go and ask Manager Elena to come, and then ask the people from Barclays Bank to come up." At this time, you still have to move out the great gods in the company, and even if it can play a little role, it would be great if Elena can take the initiative to use the relationship of the Howard family to help. George Berkeley knew everything about Elena''s ambiguous relationship with her boss, Xia Yu, but he pretended to ignore it, and never directed Elena with the attitude of treating her subordinates. In George Berkeley''s mind, even setting aside the relationship with the boss, Elena is a golden sign of the company because of her family background. In many cases, as long as others know, complex things can often be simplified. In the UK, the Howard family''s signature is really good! "Okay, I will go now!" Bickley responded immediately and walked out quickly. George Berkeley cleared his desk, closed his eyes and pondered, typing in his mind to better deal with the unexpected guests of Barclays Bank. Soon, the glorious Elena came to the office. George Berkeley quickly told her about the situation. Elena''s expression became serious and she found a place to sit down and waited for the people from Barclays Bank to come. "It turned out to be him!" A series of footsteps sounded, and when the big-headed man appeared in the field of vision, George Berkeley''s pupils shrank, and his vigilance rose sharply. The person he knew was Thomson Joyce, the executive vice president of Barclays Bank, and the senior executive of Barclays Bank. Considering the strength of Barclays Bank, Thomson Joyce''s status and social influence are above him. Generally, the normal acquisition of stocks is led by middle-level staff, and seldom will be brought forward by senior executives with real power. Now Barclays Bank is uncharacteristically, George Berkeley has to think more. "Mr. Thomson, I didn''t expect it to be you, please sit down!" "Mr. George, Ms. Elena, hello!" ... After greeting each other, the two parties sat down on the sofa face to face, and Bikley and others immediately made coffee. Because of the sudden appearance of Barclays Bank, Bright Fund¡¯s plan to acquire the two banks could not be completed perfectly. George Berkeley was embarrassed to call Xia Yu, so he did not have the slightest impression of Barclays Bank, even though Thomson Joyce came to the door , His attitude is also very cold. If the robber comes home, he can drink coffee. It is impossible to want his good face! Seeing George Berkeley¡¯s indifferent attitude and looking at Elena¡¯s calm face again, Thomson Joyce had expected it, he didn¡¯t care, smiled and said directly: "Mr. George, I don¡¯t know what I just gave Have you seen the letter from your company employee." George Berkeley was expressionless and nodded slightly: "I saw it." After two words, there is no more text. Thomson Joyce nodded and said again: "That''s good, I also know that Manager George has a lot of things, so I just said it directly." "I know that Bright Fund owns a large share of Royal Bank of Scotland, and I hope to buy some from you." George Berkeley raised his brow, and a deep doubt rose in his heart. Buy some equity? What Thomson Joyce said was too weird and completely different from what he expected. He thought that Barclays Bank wanted to acquire all the shares held by Bright Fund. He didn''t expect that it would only acquire part of it. What did Barclays Bank want to do? Although he was puzzled, George Berkeley did not show it. He resolutely refused: "I''m sorry, our company has no plans to sell Royal Bank of Scotland stock, even if it is just one share, it will not be sold!" Elena suddenly said: "Mr. Thomson, in fact, our family is planning to visit Barclays Bank. We heard that Barclays Bank has shares in Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland. I wonder if it can be sold to the Howard family? " Elena''s words gave Thomson Joyce''s face a moment of astonishment. He didn''t expect Elena to say that. He frowned slightly, looked at Elena and asked, "Ms. Elena, do I know if this is yours or your father''s?" Just as George Berkeley raised his heart slightly, Elena didn''t change her face and said without hesitation: "Of course my father meant it." George Berkeley''s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn''t help but look at Elena with admiration, and he was also emotional. He didn''t talk to Elena just now, and now Elena is completely autonomous. This will directly move Duke Howard out. I don''t know if Duke Howard knows if he will look helpless. Thomson Joyce, who was unsure of the true or false, frowned for a while, and directly refused: "Ms. Elena, I''m sorry, Barclays does not intend to sell the shares of the two banks." Just when George Berkeley wanted to speak, Elena took the lead, and she responded directly: "Mr. Thomson, our company is the same! We don''t lack this money!" George Berkeley cheered secretly and gave Elena a sharp counterattack with a thumbs up. He also resolutely said: "Mr. Thomson, I''m really sorry, our company doesn''t need money, and it''s not enough to sell stocks to survive." I can''t talk about this topic! Thomson Joyce was choked uncomfortably, and his subordinates who came with him looked at each other, and just wanted to speak out to save face for his boss. I saw Thomson Joyce''s face straightened and said solemnly: "Ms. Irene, Mr. George, don''t be too vigilant, we are here with friendship." "We just want to acquire 5% of the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland. Bright Fund has no experience in operating a bank. As the largest bank in the UK, Barclays Bank has the strength and experience to cooperate with Bright Fund." "We don''t want to take the Royal Bank of Scotland from you, all we want is cooperation!" Five percent equity? George Berkeley and Elena looked at each other, neither of them understood what Thomson Joyce wanted to do. George Berkeley does not believe what Thomson Joyce said. The financial industry has only benefits. How can friendship be said that Thomson Joyce really treats him as a fool? George Berkeley pointedly said: "Mr. Thomson, you don''t have to tell me these hypocritical words. I still said that. We will not sell a single share of Royal Bank of Scotland." "Barclays Bank is the largest bank in the UK, and Royal Bank of Scotland is just a small bank located in Scotland. It is of no use to you. These days, what is the purpose of you jumping out to compete with us for equity?" Thomson Joyce evaded: "There is no purpose, just optimistic about the future of Royal Bank of Scotland. If you didn''t do it in advance, maybe the entire bank would be acquired by us." "We just want to buy 5% of the equity. If you can''t be the master, you might as well tell your boss what we mean. If he can come to London, that would be great." "It seems that we are not here today, so next time, I hope you will consider it carefully." Before going out, Thomson Joyce stopped and once again solemnly left a meaningful sentence: "We are really here with friendship, I hope you don''t misunderstand!" After people sent Thomson Joyce away, the atmosphere in the office was somewhat depressed. After a long time, Elena got up and said to George Berkeley: "General Manager, this is a strange matter. I don''t think it is a simple business matter. Let me tell the boss. Barclays seems to want the boss to come to London." George Berkeley also noticed something wrong. He took a deep breath nodded and said, "This matter is beyond my authority and can only be reported to the boss." George Berkeley had been waiting at the company. When the difference in the eastern part of the United States was only daylight, he dialed Xia Yu''s home in Seattle. ... Seattle, USA, at 8 am, Xia Yu received a call from George Berkeley. After listening to his detailed report, Xia Yu thought for a long time and decided to go to London. George Berkeley told Xia Yu exactly what Thomson Joyce said before he left. Hearing that sentence, Xia Yu was already certain that it was the Rohill family who was behind the scenes. As for the true purpose of the Roshir family, although he had guesses in his heart, he was not sure yet. But things have happened to such an extent, he just doesn''t want to go. Only by figuring out the true purpose of the Rohill family can he be able to respond in a targeted manner. "George, you have to be vigilant these days and manage the company well. I will talk about everything when I come. Let''s do this first!" After speaking, Xia Yu hung up. After sitting in the living room and thinking for more than ten minutes, he made a few calls to Yan Shining and asked him to arrange his work, and immediately brought some capable energy to London. At the same time, he also asked Yan Shining to contact Ma Qianjun and convey some of his instructions. Some things he had to guard against, after all, the Rohill family had a lot of dark history. After explaining the matter, Xia Yu first returned to New York and explained something to Peter Lynch and Yan Wenhan. In the morning two days later, Xia Yu boarded a plane to London at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month. If you don''t ask for a ticket at the beginning of the month, it will wither for a month, please! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 795: Anti-customer As soon as Xia Yu came out of the airport, he was surrounded by the subordinates who had been waiting. He didn''t stay too much, and directly boarded the car back to his manor. That day, George Berkeley told Xia Yu''s house in detail what happened in the recent period, so that Xia Yu could know. The next morning, Xia Yu went to Guangming Fund. About an hour after he arrived at the company, Thomson Joyce of Barclays Bank visited again. After seeing Xia Yu, Thomson Joyce didn''t seem surprised. He smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu to say hello: "This is Mr. Xia, hello, introduce myself, I am the executive vice president of Barclays Bank. , Thomson Joyce." "Mr. Thomson, hello, and welcome you!" Xia Yu said with a slight smile, and then invited them to sit down. "Thank you!" After Thomson Joyce sat down, Xia Yu looked at him calmly and asked with interest: "Mr. Thomson, George has already told me about the previous things. Why are you here this time? ?" Thomson Joyce said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I am not here this time for the Royal Bank of Scotland equity matter, but on behalf of my boss to send you an invitation letter, and he wants to meet you." Xia Yu''s eyes became deep, and he looked at the delicate invitation that Thomson Joyce took out of his bag and presented with both hands. He took it, his eyes were instantly attracted by the signature name in the lower right corner. Rohill! The inscription is in English, and there is no specific person. This is an invitation issued on behalf of the Rothier family. Xia Yu calmly looked at the content of the invitation letter, which was very concise and clear, and invited him to the Rothschild family castle at 3 o''clock the day after tomorrow. After reading it, Xia Yu closed the invitation letter and placed it gently on the table. Seeing Xia Yu''s expressionless face when he didn''t answer, Thomson Joyce frowned slightly, and he felt lost. Thinking of the task solemnly confessed by his boss, he immediately asked: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know what you mean? " Xia Yu smiled and said, "I''m just thinking, I don''t seem to have a chance to choose? Now that you have set the time, why not set the location?" Although the Rohill family is a huge monster, he doesn''t necessarily have to kneel and lick. The Rohill family caused trouble for him and forced him to come to London. Now he still wants him to go to the Rohill family residence. Oh, really think he Xia Yu is a puppet? No temper? The aura is a wonderful thing, invisible and intangible, but in many cases it is an extremely critical factor. If he was taken by the Roshir family every time and went to the Roshir family, he would have no room for resistance, and he would fall behind in his aura. The Roshir family wants to talk to him, yes, but it depends on what to talk about and how to talk. The Roshir family wanted to test him. Of course, he could also test the Roshir family''s attitude. Now this change of location is an opportunity. It depends on what the Roshir family wants. Xia Yu''s situation is not suitable for conflict with the Roshir family, but he may not dare to fight with them. The key is whether it is necessary to do this! Thomson Joyce didn''t expect Xia Yu to make such a request, and he looked at Xia Yu with embarrassment. Although he is the executive vice president of Barclays Bank, Barclays Bank is only an industry controlled by the Rohill family. He is not the president of the bank. How can he make decisions for the Rohill family? Xia Yu also understood his embarrassment, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Thomson, you can''t be the master. You might as well tell your boss what I mean. The time is as you can tell, and the location is the Hilton Hotel in the City of London." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, George Berkeley, who had been listening quietly, twitched his mouth and almost couldn''t help laughing. What a familiar scene. A few days ago, Thomson Joyce also reported to his boss that he could not be the master, and now the boss Xia Yu directly found him back. At this moment, his heart felt refreshed. Seeing Thomson Joyce''s ugly face, George Berkeley couldn''t help laughing. Thomson Joyce took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Xia, I will tell my boss what you mean." "Then I won''t bother!" After speaking, Thomson Joyce and others got up and left without having their butts sitting hot. After a while, George Berkeley, who gave him away, returned to the office. He smiled and asked, "Boss, do you say they will agree?" Xia Yu''s eyes were a little lost, and he said softly: "Will it matter? Anyway, I don''t want to meet them. They want to see me, so they can only agree." George Berkeley was taken aback and nodded slowly. Anyway, they do not intend to sell the equity, and Barclays Bank does not come to buy the best. "George, go to the Hilton Hotel to book a presidential suite, whether they come or not, let''s do what we should do first!" "Ok!" ... After Thomson Joyce returned, he reported the matter as it was, and then he couldn''t take care of it. The Rothschild family castle. A black Rolls-Royce drove into the castle and stopped. Evelyn Rohill got out of the car and walked quickly towards the castle. "Evelyn, what''s going on?" Jacob Rohill, who was reading the newspaper, asked with a smile when he heard footsteps and looked up. Evelyn Lohill shook his head and said, "Something went wrong." Jacob Rohill stared slightly, put down the newspaper and asked, "What''s the problem?" Evelyn Rohill said: "He did not refuse our invitation, but he changed the meeting place and chose the Hilton Hotel in the City of London." Jacob Rosill said with a smile: "Look at this, he is very wary of us!" He paused and guessed: "Who should have said bad things about our family in front of him, otherwise he shouldn''t behave like this." Evelyn said with a cold snort, "It must be those **** who don''t relax their vigilance against us at any time." Jacob Rohill sneered, "Hehe, haven''t they always been like this?" After a sneer, he said again: "Well, I won''t talk about it in advance. Since he changed the address, let''s do what he wants. After all, we went with kindness." "Evelyn, I will come forward the day after tomorrow, you don''t want to go, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person he is." "Ok." Two days passed in a flash. That afternoon, at 2:30, Xia Yu took George Berkeley and Elena to the Hilton Hotel. Just two minutes after Xia Yu and the others arrived, the waiter led Jacob Rohill, a young man and a middle-aged man in. Old, middle and young, a strange combination. The moment Xia Yu saw Jacob Roshir, the memory in his mind flooded, and a portrait coincided with Jacob Roshir''s face, and Xia Yu recognized it in an instant. It was him who led the Rohill family on the road of ZTE, and was one of the figures who truly stood at the top of power in the world. "Mr. Rohill, I didn''t expect you to come early, please sit down!" Although it was an invitation from the Rothschild family, Xia Yu is now against the guest. The young man who followed Jacob Lowhill looked ugly for an instant, but Jacob Lowhill didn''t change his face, and said with a faint smile: "I didn''t expect Mr. Xia to know me. It''s a great honor. Please also! " https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 796: Xia Yus request "Mr. Lowhill, I actually wanted to get in touch with your family a long time ago, but I have never had the opportunity. I was very surprised when I received the invitation from your family the day before yesterday. It just happened to be very important in the city these days. So I can only give the location without authorization. I''m really sorry." As soon as he sat down, Xia Yu said apologetically, with a seemingly sincere attitude. Of course, this is just a scene. In fact, he hadn''t been too easy these two days. Jacob Rohill didn¡¯t care, and said with a smile: ¡°I can understand. I¡¯ve heard of Mr. Xia¡¯s name a long time ago. My cousin Charles told me about you. You have worked together several times. He said you are very atmospheric." Xia Yu smiled: "Thanks to his admiration, I have worked with Mr. Charles Rohill several times before and the process was very pleasant." Jacob Rohill nodded and said meaningfully: "That''s good. In fact, anyone who has worked with our Rohill family knows that we are a very reliable partner." "Haha! It''s really reliable, can it be unreliable if you use a dog chain to tie people directly?" Xia Yu sneered repeatedly in his heart. There was an expression of approval on his face, and he nodded: "Yes, Mr. Rohill, I also look forward to working with you, of course, the premise is a win-win situation." Now Xia Yu has started digging. Jacob Rohill heard Xia Yu''s meaning, he smiled, and directly said, "Mr. Xia seems to have something in his words?" Xia Yu was surprised and shook his head to deny: "No, I have always been sincere when dealing with friends." Jacob Rosier pondered for a while, nodded and said softly: "Mr. Xia is right. Only sincerely with each other can friendship last." "I think we should be able to become friends!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is what I hope." "Mr. Lowhill, what is the matter with you asking me to come today? Hope not to embarrass new friends!" Jacob Rohill shook his head and said, "Of course not." "Actually, Mr. Yue Xia came today with the main purpose of getting to know Mr. Xia. Now this purpose has been achieved." "The secondary purpose is to cooperate with Mr. Xia. We want to acquire 5% of the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland held by Mr. Xia. As a basis for cooperation, we will assist Mr. Xia to successfully acquire Royal Bank of Scotland. In addition, Barclays Bank will share some resources to accelerate the rise of Royal Bank of Scotland." "It only needs 5% of the equity, which is actually not much. What does Mr. Xia think?" Xia Yu leaned back and looked at Jacob Rosill for a few seconds, his smile gradually reduced, and asked indifferently: "Mr. Rosill, before that, I want to ask a question first." Jacob Rohill nodded and said, "Of course!" Xia Yu looked into his eyes and asked, "I heard from my subordinates that Barclays Bank has been acquiring shares in Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland for the past 20 days. I don''t know how much you have acquired?" Jacob Rohill and Xia Yu looked at each other, pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "The current shareholding ratios are 15.4% and 36.1% respectively." Xia Yu suddenly smiled. He shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Lowhill, do you know? In order to harvest the fruits, I spent more than a year planting fruit trees. I never disclosed the news, and picked them when the fruits were ripe. In the process, Barclays Bank appeared. Do you know what I am feeling?" "If it were you, how would you feel?" Xia Yu''s sudden ridicule, Jacob Rohill could bear it, but the young man who came with him could not bear it. As the leader of the Roshir family, Jacob Rosill is sought after everywhere, but now he is taunted by a young man who is younger than him, which is an insult to the Rosill family! "Mr. Xia, many banks hope to cooperate with Barclays Bank, and even hope to be acquired by Barclays Bank, but we don''t need it. Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are two listed public banks. Are you only allowed to buy?" For this angry young man, Xia Yu just glanced at him and then shifted his gaze, looking at Jacob Rohill with interest, as if he wanted to see his reaction. I saw Jacob Rohill''s face sinking, and he said solemnly: "Philip, it seems I shouldn''t bring you here." The face of the young man named Philip changed, he wanted to argue a few words, opened his mouth, and finally did not have the courage to speak, bowing his head and sulking in life. Jacob Rohill apologized and said: "Mr. Xia, I''m really sorry. Philip is my nephew. He has a bad temper. Please forgive him for his rudeness." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "It''s okay, I can understand." What is understanding? Philip Rohill felt more angry when he said this, but he didn''t dare to vent, he could only lower his head to cover his emotions. Jacob Rohill¡¯s attitude has changed and he seems to be no longer kind. He said lightly: "Mr. Xia, although Philip has a bad temper, he is right in one sentence. Since Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are listed companies , Then anyone has the right to buy, right?" Xia Yu nodded, "Of course, that''s correct." "So I don''t plan to pursue what happened, just let it go, but why should I sell equity to you again?" Jacob Rohill shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. Xia, the Royal Bank of Scotland owns part of the rights to issue British pounds. You don''t think you can really buy this bank?" "Even if you get the acquisition by chance, then you will have a lot of trouble." "But if Barclays Bank becomes an important shareholder of Royal Bank of Scotland, we can all solve this problem." "We just need to acquire another 5% of the equity and increase the shareholding ratio to more than 40%." Xia Yunoyu said: "Barclays Bank is very strong, but changing to Lloyds Bank can also solve this problem. Barclays Bank seems to be not irreplaceable." Just when the atmosphere was a bit frozen, Xia Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Of course equity is not impossible to sell to you. You said before that we are friends. If I buy you equity, then what can you give me? ?" "Why don''t you sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to us?" How could Jacob Rohill agree to Xia Yu''s request? He was just to hold a portion of the equity to penetrate Xia Yu''s assets and understand Xia Yu''s details. If you sell the equity to Xia Yu, then Standard Chartered Bank will become Xia Yu''s private property. It is absolutely impossible for him to know the internal situation of Standard Chartered Bank. How can this work? Therefore, Jacob Lowhill shook his head and refused: "I''m sorry, Mr. Xia, we are also optimistic about the future of Standard Chartered Bank, so we will not sell this part of the equity." Just when Xia Yu¡¯s face turned cold, Jacob Lowhill suddenly said: ¡°But our Rohill family can also help you in other places. Our Rohill Bank is very strong in mergers and acquisitions. I heard that you Abbott is being acquired and we should be able to help in this regard." Xia Yu''s eyes were cold, and he looked straight at Jacob Rohill. Jacob Rohill looked at Xia Yu calmly. For a long time, Xia Yu said sarcastically: "Does it seem that the Lowhill family is well informed? You know that I am acquiring Abbott, so don''t you know who is causing me difficulties?" "We don''t know this for the time being If Mr. Xia wants to know, we can help you investigate." Jacob Rohill pretended not to hear Xia Yu''s words. Said with a smile. Xia Yu couldn''t help sneering in his heart, helping with the investigation? Isn''t it just a scapegoat? Jacob Rohill said that, didn''t he just want to show him the muscles of the Rohill family? He shook his head and refused: "This is no longer necessary. We have entrusted Merrill Lynch Bank to help with the acquisition. If there is still trouble, we will seek help from Morgan Stanley. I have worked with them several times. satisfaction." "I heard that the Lowhill family has a strong influence in the UK, but I haven''t had a deep experience yet. I wonder if Mr. Rohill can let me see it?" "Oh, yes, this is also the basis of cooperation. If you can realize my wish, then I am happy to sell the 5% stake in Royal Bank of Scotland to Barclays." Although Xia Yu''s deliberate mention of Morgan Stanley made Jacob Rosier unhappy, Xia Yu''s request attracted his attention. Maybe this is a good opportunity. It''s not that Xia Yu doesn''t stop importing oil and salt, it depends on what he asks for! I''m not afraid of him asking, I''m afraid he won''t want anything! Jacob Lowhill asked: "Mr. Xia, please tell me, there are very few things we can''t do in Britain." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Then I can rest assured, I actually want to acquire a company." "Mr. Lowhill should know that I am more interested in the media. This company is the Mirror Group newspaper company!"

Last month, a total of 156,000 words were updated, which is 20,000 more than in September. It is much better than the previous few months. It is a small improvement. Unfortunately, due to time and Cavan, the five chapters owed have not been paid yet, and I am embarrassed by the "Don¡¯t Say I¡¯ll Say Forever" brother¡¯s leader reward. I have been adjusting the outline these days. First owe it and pay it later. Then let¡¯s talk about the plot problem. I also know where my problem is, but I have been unable to find time to solve it. Many brothers should know that Lao Huang is a part-time codeword and often has to work overtime, which seriously affects codewords, data search, I have accumulated time for knowledge, so I have not had the energy to conceive the plot well, which caused the plot of the previous period to be too flat. I am really sorry. Now the outline is being adjusted. Please be more tolerant, thank you! Today is November 1st, this month strives to update more than last month, the more the plot is written, the better, try not to let everyone down! ... ßËßËßË! Knock on the blackboard, here comes the point! It''s time for the annual gratitude feedback again! Lao Huang is a native of Gannan, and his family grows Gannan navel oranges. Now that the harvest season is coming, he is going to give away a few thousand yuan worth of Gannan navel oranges. There are several ways to obtain them. The first one is in the main comment area of ??the starting point reading book. There is a post with prizes for plot inspiration. The top five inspiring brothers will each give me a box of ten kilograms of Gannan navel oranges. The deadline is November 7. 1 o''clock in the morning. Second, there are lotteries for all three skirts. We reserve the most amount of Vicore skirts, at least a dozen boxes, and the most quantity. Because the number of people has exceeded 100, we can only link to add skirts. If you want to enter, add my Vicore number hls. Six five seven seven six zero three one two, let me pull in. Secondly, I just opened a v-skirt. Genuine brothers enter, and the fan value is above the disciple. The skirt number is 262088967. The screenshot of the fan value privately poke the turtle management verification. It is estimated that this skirt has the least number of people, and this probability is the largest.

They were done last year, but they were even stingy last year (£þ¡õ£þ£ü£ü) PS: In addition, the oranges are recruited as agents, and the wholesale prices are released by the agent. You can buy them yourself or make a difference. The retail price of the authentic Gannan navel oranges in big cities is high. It¡¯s cheaper to sell than retail, and it¡¯s easier to make money in promotion. The key is that it¡¯s good quality and absolutely fresh.

If I don''t ask for a ticket at the beginning of the month, I will be sluggish for a month. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 797: Take advantage of the opportunity Jacob Rosier showed a pensive expression, and he didn''t agree to it at the first time, but he was thinking quickly in his heart. To be honest, he didn''t want to let Xia Yu''s strength continue to grow before controlling Xia Yu. Even if you can¡¯t control it, try to make it stronger in the United States, not in the United Kingdom, because the greater Xia Yu¡¯s influence in the United Kingdom, the stronger his strength, the lower his dependence on the Rohill family. It is easy to rise up resistance. The Mirror Group Newspaper Company is such a company that greatly increases its influence. If Xia Yu succeeds, it will go against their plan. The Mirror Group Newspaper Company is the top media giant in the UK. It is now controlled by the Cecil King family. It is now one of the three major newspaper groups in the UK. It has successively annexed United Newspaper Group, Udance Magazine Group and other well-known media companies. The "Daily Telegraph" and "Financial Times" acquired by Xia Yu before can''t compare with this group. The Gein Mirror Group owns four national best-selling newspapers: Daily Mirror, Sports Life, Sunday Daily Mirror, and Sunday People¡¯s Daily, each with daily sales of more than one million copies . It also owns forty-seven local newspapers, including the Daily Record, which is very influential in Scotland. The national newspaper circulation of the Mirror Group accounts for approximately 30% of the national total, and local newspapers account for approximately 8%. In addition to newspapers, the Mirror Group also owns 90 kinds of weekly magazines, 123 biweekly, monthly and quarterly magazines. Among them, the circulation of some professional magazines accounts for about 6% of the total circulation of similar magazines. More than ten. This is only in the strength of the Mirror Group in the field of British paper media. The Mirror Group has been developing since the last century and has become an international media company. It has publishing companies in the United States, Nigeria, Italy, France, Spain and other countries. These foreign companies add up to more than 90 kinds. Newspapers and magazines, although there is no iconic big newspaper, but the quantity alone seems scary. Moreover, the Mirror Group is also the major shareholder of United Television Corporation of the United Kingdom, holding 31.2% of the shares, and the main company of Clyde Broadcasting Company, holding 35.4% of the shares. Among them, United Television Company is a media company formed by the combination of several major national television giants in the UK. Although there is no national television station, it owns 13 of the country¡¯s 158 private local television stations and owns 1,000 Sixty-seven out of two hundred private radio stations. Clyde Broadcasting Company is a company that manufactures wireless broadcasting equipment, and its strength in this field ranks second in the UK. It can be seen that the Mirror Group has a very strong influence and is the leading media giant in the UK. Last year, Xia Yu noticed it when he was thinking about acquiring a media company in the UK, but after careful consideration, he found that he couldn''t buy the company at all, so he didn''t make any more thoughts. But now that Jacob Rohill came, Xia Yu caught the opportunity. The Mirror Group is now controlled by the Cecil King family, and the Rohill family does not hold any shares in it. But Xia Yu knows that the Cecil King family is the younger brother of the Rohir family, and their strength is not limited to the media field. They mainly follow the Rohir family in other important fields. Xia Yu believes that as long as Jacob Rohill, the master of the Cecil King family, speaks, he can definitely buy it easily! The Cecil King family will not be reluctant to sell, because according to the historical trajectory, their family sold the Mirror Group to Robert Maxwell in 1984, making Robert Maxwell instantly British Newspaper magnate. Xia Yu is not bad for the money to buy the Mirror Group, but what he lacks is the ability to solve the problems encountered in the acquisition. If the Mirror Group can be bought, combined with the Financial Times company that Xia Yu originally owned, and the "Daily Telegraph", then his strength in the British paper media field will become the first, and everyone will give him three points of face. . It is precisely because of these considerations that Jacob Rohill is hesitant. But Xia Yu made a request. If he doesn''t help, then Xia Yu can naturally refuse to sell the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland to them, and they would be shameless if they mention it again. After all, he has always boasted that the Rothschild family is strong in Britain, but Xia Yu couldn''t complete his first cooperation request, so he absolutely slapped himself in the face. For a time, Rao was Jacob Rosier''s old lady, and he didn''t know how to solve the problem that Xia Yu threw out now. Seeing Jacob Rosier not speaking for a long time, Xia Yu smiled slightly, and Qingqiu slowly leaned on the back of the chair, observing his expression. The two people who followed Jacob Roshere couldn''t help secretly worrying, but didn''t dare to disturb Jacob Rosill''s decision, so they could only look at him anxiously. "Mr. Jacob, if the Rohill family thinks it is a bit difficult, then I will think of other ways, maybe other families can do it." Xia Yu suddenly said nonchalantly, as if the intention just now was just a casual mention. It''s just that these words stopped in the ears of Jacob Rohill and others, but they were very harsh. Xia Yu is stimulating them. The Rosier family was testing him and forcing him, and he also presented them with problems now. Anyway, whether Jacob Rosill agreed or not, Xia Yu didn''t care. No matter if you agree, you can win the Mirror Group and make yourself a media giant in the UK. You can also use the strength of the Rohill family to develop quickly, but the disadvantage is that you will get closer and closer to the Rohill family later, regardless of the facts. In any case, outsiders will judge Xia Yu and the Rothier family all the way, and some troubles that would never exist will suddenly appear, such as being guarded by some big families. If it is better not to agree, the Rothschild family will get so much bank equity. It will be difficult for them to infiltrate Xia Yu''s company in the future, and Xia Yu can calmly reject them. The former is that the struggle between the two sides will take place in secret Xia Yu will face greater pressure; the latter is that the struggle may be on the surface, and the Rohill family wants to subtly control Xia Yu. Difficult. It can only be said that both have pros and cons, and it depends on who is better. For a long time, after weighing the pros and cons, Jacob Roshir was heartbroken, confident that Xia Yu alone could not beat the elites of the Roshir family, ready to promise him. Anyway, in a short period of time, their Roshir family never thought of turning over with Xia Yu. Even if Xia Yu''s media empire is threatened, they will always have a way to deal with it. In fact, in the face of Xia Yu''s arrogance, Jacob Roshir had to jump in, unless he cut off the opportunity to cooperate with Xia Yu later, making the family''s calculations more difficult. After the decision, Jacob Rohill smiled easily: "Mr. Xia misunderstood. I just didn''t remember which company the Mirror Group is for a while. Now that I think about it, we can easily help Mr. Xia complete the acquisition. To prove our friendly attitude and strength." Xia Yu flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Rohill, then I am looking forward to it. As for other cooperation, I will talk about it later, how about?" Xia Yu typically does not see rabbits or scatter eagles, so he takes the benefits first. Now that it has been decided, Jacob Rohill is not afraid that Xia Yu will go back, nodded and said: "Of course it can, I believe Mr. Xia will not be disappointed." After talking about the matter, there was nothing else to say, Jacob Rosier said goodbye directly, and Xia Yu sent them out. The car that watched Jacob Rohill gradually moved away, Xia Yu''s eyes became colder and deeper. "Heh, it seems that the future will be more and more unstable..."

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 798: Offer Coca-Cola "Uncle, do we really have to promise him? This way, with the media power he controls, it will pose a certain threat to us." In the car, Philip Rohill, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn''t bear it for a long time, turned his head to look at Jacob Rohill and asked. Jacob Lowhill, who was looking out the window in thought, was awakened. He looked at his nephew and did not answer directly, but patiently asked: "Philip, your character is still too impatient, calm down and think about it. What is the result for us, agreeing to him and not agreeing to him? Is this threat real?" Philip Rohill took a deep breath, thought for a long time, and then said: "But uncle, with the strength of our family, it seems unnecessary to treat him like this." Jacob Lowhill looked cold, and said to Philip Rohill solemnly: "Philip, you are so proud. Have you forgotten the purpose of our family?" "Go back and think about it, don''t let me and your father down!" Philip Rohill looked stiff and whispered, "Good uncle." After that, the car fell silent again, leaving only a slight breathing and the roar of the engine. After going back, Jacob Roshere discussed with Evelyn Roshere, and the latter also agreed with the former after weighing the pros and cons. That night, the helm of the Cecil King family rushed to the Rohill family castle in the dark. As for what was said, it is not known. Anyway, early the next morning, the Cecil King family transferred all their equity in the Mirror Group to Rothschild Bank. As for the other minority shareholders, the Cecil King family assisted in persuading them. Under the deterrence of the Rohill family¡¯s reputation, they easily transferred their equity to Rohill Bank. On the third day after meeting with Jacob Rohill, Philip Rohill came to the door on behalf of the Rohill family, and once again extended an invitation to Xia Yu. This time the meeting place was still at the Rohill family castle. This time, Xia Yu didn''t refuse, but accepted it with pleasure. For the second time, since the Roshir family has expressed goodwill, if Xia Yu refuses again, there will be a suspicion of deliberate slap in the face. If this is passed out, the Roshir family will face Throw it away, it won''t end well, the Rohill family will do something to save face. "Xia Yu, are you really going to the Rohill family?" Seeing Xia Yu playing with the delicate invitation in her hand, Elena asked softly with a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes. "Yes, this time, I can''t go." Xia Yu smiled and looked at Elena, nodding lightly. Elena silently, with her ingenuity, also thought of the key point, but because she had learned about the Rohill family from her father, she was worried about Xia Yu. The day before yesterday, she went back to the family and asked her father specifically about the Rohill family. Duke Carter Howard told Elena in detail, from the rise of the Rohill family to the present situation. Elena. Duke Carter Howard also used Elena''s mouth to inform Xia Yu of the situation. "But Xia Yu, although the Rothschild family is very low-key, it can rank first among all British families in strength. You may not know that their family used to..." "So Xia Yu, they have absolutely no good intentions. Contact with their family is very dangerous." Listening to Elena''s melancholic narration, Xia Yu''s eyes were soft with a smile, and she quietly listened to Elena''s recount of what he already knew. After Elena finished speaking, Xia Yu comforted softly: "Elena, I know what you said, and I know they are calculating me, but life is like this in many cases. We contradict one thing from the bottom of our hearts, but In the face of reality, we have to temporarily make false claims." "Don''t worry, I know it in my heart, they are calculating me, why am I using them? The Rockefeller family and the Morgan family can subvert their rule at their peak. Now they have enemies all over the world. I will not lose." A man is the most handsome when he is confident, Xia Yu has a well-established appearance, which makes Elena''s eyes flashed with confusion, but is soon covered by worry. "but¡­¡­" "Then Xia Yu, let me go with you in the afternoon. You won''t feel ashamed if you take me?" Elena was a little anxious, and then a flash of inspiration in her mind suddenly said. Xia Yu¡¯s face flashed with a stunned expression, his heart was touched, and he said softly: "Elena, how could it be? You are the most beautiful rose in the UK. People who want to be your male partner can be ranked from London to Southampton. Now, I am honored to be in an office with the goddess in the eyes of all British men." Xia Yu''s sudden offbeat words were full of ambiguity, and Elena''s face was full of blush, and she became more pure and pleasant. "Elena, your identity is different after all. If you go with me, it will easily cause trouble for your father." Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with surprise, and continued to persuade her gently. Unexpectedly, hearing Xia Yu¡¯s persuasion, Elena resolutely said: "No, I am already an adult. I only represent myself. My father will never have any opinions. Otherwise, I can call him at noon. Calls." Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry, but his heart became more moved. Elena, a girl who can make this kind of decision, definitely has great courage. She can''t help but know what she represents. Her rhetoric is also very lame, but Xia Yu can''t bear to expose her. It was her heart, how could he bear to refuse. "Elena, thank you!" Xia Yu looked at Elena gently and said, gently holding Elena''s jade hand. Elena was taken aback, blushing and quickly crawling across her pretty face. She stayed for a few seconds, then quickly withdrew her hand, fluffed her forehead in a panic, and left the office as if she fled a word. "Xia Yu, I''m still a little bit busy with my work, so I''ll go busy first. I''ll go home and change my clothes at noon. Come and pick me up at my house by the way." Looking at Elena''s flustered back, Xia Yu suddenly smiled, looked at his palm, shook his head and chuckled. ... In the afternoon, Xia Yu and his group drove two Rolls-Royce Phantoms of the new generation to Elena''s house, and received Elena in a gorgeous dress and an incredible beauty. Half an hour later, the car came to the Rohill family castle in the suburbs of London. Someone had already been waiting at the door, while leading the vehicles of Xia Yu and others in, while reporting the situation by telephone. Therefore, when Xia Yu and others got out of the car, they saw Jacob Roshir, who was waiting at the door, as well as Evelyn Roshir and his son Philip Roshir. Although Evelyn Lowhill Xia Yu had never seen him, he still had his appearance in his memory, so he recognized him immediately. But Jacob Rohill and others were surprised by Elena beside Xia Yu. Evelyn Roshir frowned insignificantly, looked at his cousin, and the two eyes collided, seeming to convey some message. Jacob Rohill shook his head slightly, then smiled to welcome Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, you are welcome." "Miss Elena, when I saw you last time, you were only a teenager. I didn¡¯t expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. You are welcome to visit our family. Our family¡¯s castle is not comparable to the Howard family¡¯s castle. Please don¡¯t be disappointed. ." Elena smiled and said generously: "Mr. Lowhill, the castle is only used to live in. Your family has brilliance and strength that the Howard family did not have. My father told me more than once about your family. Now and in the past, I finally have the privilege of visiting today." Elena''s answer made Xia Yu smile, and she was indeed a child educated by a large noble family. "Haha, Miss Elena, no wonder Sir Carter is proud of you when he mentions you." "Mr. Xia, Miss Elena, please come in!" "Thank you!" After the group entered, they sat down in a huge living room. The surface of the sofa was covered with a layer of animal fur, which seemed to be the fur of a cat. It was very smooth and soft. "Mr. Xia, this is what you need." Not long after sitting down, Jacob Rohill took out a file bag and put it on the table, pushing it towards Xia Yu. Xia Yu picked it up and opened it with a smile, taking out the files inside and flipping through them quickly. After reading it, he looked at Jacob Rosill admiringly and said: "Mr. Rosier, it only took more than two days to count. I didn''t expect your family to acquire the Mirror Group wholly. People admire." Jacob Rohill smiled indifferently: "Some things are difficult for others, but not difficult for us. Cooperating with us will definitely not suffer from Mr. Xia." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said in agreement: "Of course, I didn''t feel it before, but now I have a deep experience, I am deeply honored." "Mr. Lowhill, you can send someone over after you go back. I will immediately arrange for someone to transfer the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland to you Jacob Rohill is very satisfied with Xia Yu¡¯s attitude. He became more gentle, nodded and said: "Okay, I believe Mr. Xia. " "By the way, Mr. Jacob, what price does the Mirror Group transfer to me?" Xia Yu looked at the file bag and asked with concern. Jacob Lowhill said directly: "Since we are making friends, and Mr. Xia''s hometown seems to like the number 9, then the price is 100 million pounds and one pound less, how about it? I hope our partnership can last forever." Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn''t expect Jacob Rohill to say that. He had also studied the culture of China, which surprised him. After the surprise, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I also hope that we can cooperate for a longer period of time. Then follow Mr. Rosier''s words and thank you for your help." "By the way, Mr. Lowhill, I heard that your family can do me a small favor? Help me buy Abbott?" "Of course, Rothschild Bank is honored to serve Mr. Xia." "Then trouble Mr. Rohill." After the cooperation was achieved, Jacob Rohill''s goal was achieved, and he was naturally comfortable, chatting with Xia Yu, and then personally took Xia Yu and others to visit Rohill Castle. While strolling around, Jacob Rohill seemed to think of something, and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I heard Charles said that you are involved in the beverage industry. We happen to have a portion of Coca-Cola''s equity in our hands. I wonder if you need it. need?" Xia Yu looked at Jacob Rohill''s kind smile at close range, but his heart was stunned. The Rosier family showed their fangs so soon, so uneasy and kind! PS: Ask for votes and subscribe! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 799: Prepare to pit the Lohill family The Coca-Cola Company is now in trouble, but in terms of market share, it is still the world''s largest Coke company and a global beverage giant. But behind this involves the struggle between American consortia, involving four of the top ten consortia in the United States, including the two giants Rockefeller consortium and Morgan consortium. Of course, the Coca-Cola Company is only part of the two-party plan, or even an unimportant part, but after all, it is a small piece of the overall plan and will still be paid attention to by both parties. A few years ago, the Morgan Consortium had directed PepsiCo, a subsidiary of the First Citibank Consortium, as a pioneer, and launched the Coke War. The Coca-Cola Company¡¯s market share has been declining for several consecutive years, and its stock price has fallen to a few dozen dollars. Around 700 million US dollars. Although the market value is very low, there are not many stocks on the market, because not many retail investors own Coca-Cola shares. Of course, this kind of secret struggle between financial groups is not known to ordinary people at all, even if they are at the top of society, they will not know this. That is to say, Xia Yu has the memory of later generations, and only then did he know the shadows of the swords and swords of the major consortia in the 1980s. It can be said that if the Rohill family¡¯s equity in Coca-Cola is sold, if news is released, many companies will definitely want it, and these companies are basically the Rockefeller or Morgan consortium, and of course they may also be other consortia. Of course, some people will say, isn''t it just a Coca-Cola company with a market value of $1.7 billion today? It is not a global beverage giant in later generations, and it does not deserve too much attention from several major consortia. Perhaps these equity is worth at most one or two billion or even hundreds of millions of dollars, which can be easily taken out by major consortia, but in this case, it is not a simple question of money. Therefore, the equity of Coca-Cola Company held by the Rohill family is definitely a hot potato. As soon as he takes over, one foot will be inserted into the edge of the consortium battle, which will easily attract the attention of the Morgan consortium or the Rockefeller consortium. This is easy to catch fire, no matter which one you promise, you will offend the other. If neither of them agrees, then the situation is even worse, and both are offended. Moreover, the two major consortiums will not know the source of Xia Yu''s equity, and they will definitely doubt the relationship between Xia Yu and the Rothsier consortium, which is eye-catching for the two consortia. Therefore, according to the current situation, it is best not to get involved and not take over the equity of Coca-Cola Company of the Rohill family before the two sides have a victory. But Xia Yu thought about the future of Coca-Cola, a Fortune 500 company with a market value of more than US$200 billion. Even if PepsiCo hits Coca-Cola''s position now, and Coca-Cola has lost, it has not found a way out. But Xia Yu knows that, as long as it stays for a few more years, Coca-Cola can surpass PepsiCo and further establish its advantage. With the experience of later generations, Xia Yu knows that the Coca-Cola Company, which is now in trouble, is a big gold mine. Even if the Coca-Cola Company can be won, it will become a world-class beverage giant, and the advantages of the Swire Consortium will be instantly dismantled. Considering the pros and cons in his heart, looking at Jacob Rohill''s faint smile, Xia Yu was heartbroken and decided to bite the bait. After passing this village, there is no such shop. Even if there is a big risk, the harvest is definitely worth it. What''s more, the risk is only speculation, and it is man-made, maybe it can be solved! After the decision, Xia Yu looked surprised, as if he didn''t know the curve in it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Rohill, are you sure you want to sell me the shares of Coca-Cola?" Seeing that Xia Yu was recruited so easily, perhaps because Xia Yu¡¯s performance is too similar, Jacob Rosill did not doubt, smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, for our partners, we will try our best to help your career. Development, the premise is that you need it." Xia Yu smiled and nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Rohill, how exactly do you trade?" Jacob Rohill has already considered it, and said with a smile: "The equity is now in Roshill Bank''s hands. As long as you send someone over to connect, you can transfer the equity to you at any time." After speaking, Jacob Rosier said enthusiastically: "By the way, Mr. Xia, if you need to acquire Coca-Cola, Rosill Bank can serve you." Xia Yu refused without thinking about it, but he said tactfully, "Mr. Rohill, thank you for your kindness. For the time being, I don¡¯t need it at the moment. My funds have been arranged for use, and I can¡¯t afford to buy Coca-Cola for the time being. Using bank loans for company funds is also unrealistic. I hate trouble." "But if there is a need later, I will definitely find you." Jacob Rosill can''t help but feel a trace of regret in his heart, but he nods with a calm smile on his face: "That''s okay, if you need it later, Rosill Bank can serve you at any time." "Ok!" Talking and laughing, Xia Yu walked around Rohill Castle under the leadership of Jacob Rohill, and returned to the living room again. After agreeing to formally sign the contract the next day, Xia Yu said goodbye. Before leaving, Jacob Rohill also took out an ancient Chinese painting and a blue and white porcelain vase and gave it to Xia Yu, saying it was a collection of the Rohill family. After learning that Xia Yu liked antiques, he gave it to Xia Yudang. Gifts For the Chinese cultural relics that closed the door, Xia Yu was of course not polite, and he calmly accepted the gifts of Jacob Rosill. These things belonged to China¡¯s wealth, so I took them back. should. On the way back, Xia Yu and Elena were in the back row of the same car. The two discussed what happened in the Rohill family just now, because what happened just now was different from what Elena had expected in her mind. Makes her confused. Xia Yu calmed down, and patiently answered the twists and turns in Elena, and Elena showed a daze from time to time as she listened. The next morning, representatives of Rothschild Bank and Barclays Bank came to Bright Fund Company. Rothschild Bank first sold the Mirror Group to the Bright Fund for eight nine pounds. Then, 15.3% of Coca-Cola''s shares were sold to Bright Fund for US$262 million. The sum of these two acquisitions was converted into U.S. dollars, which consumed 480 million U.S. dollars of the Bright Fund, which is definitely too much. After that, the Bright Fund transferred another 5% of the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland to Barclays Bank, increasing the shareholding ratio of Barclays Bank to 41.1%. Because cooperation has already been agreed, these steps take a very short time. After completing the cooperation, Xia Yu sent the representatives of the two banks out. Then he went out to buy gifts, and he was going to visit Duke Carter Howard in the afternoon. One is to express gratitude, and the other is that there are some things to discuss with Duke Carter Howard, such as the Pit Lohill family. PS: I worked overtime late, and now I have finished writing a chapter in a daze after three o''clock. I can''t move my mind. I went to bed first. Please forgive me. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 800: Trouble with Lloyds Bank "Sir Carter, good afternoon!" "And Henry, who has grown a lot taller and more handsome!" "Hi, Xia Yu, it''s nice to meet you. Welcome to my house." "Master, I haven''t seen you for a long time, it''s really great..." ... In the Howard family castle, Xia Yu carried gifts and greeted each other with Duke Carter Howard and Henry who went out. "Come in!" Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu kindly. When he looked at his daughter, his eyes were soft. As soon as he entered, Henry came and went out with Li Wuming, leaving Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu and Elena in the living room. "Sir Carter, I have to apologize to you first." After sitting down, Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds before speaking to Duke Carter Howard apologetically. Elena on the side blinked ignorantly, wondering why Xia Yu said this suddenly. Duke Carter Howard looked at Elena, frowned, then looked at Xia Yu, and said thoughtfully, "Apologize? Why do you want to apologize to me?" Xia Yu said frankly: "Yesterday I received another invitation from Jacob Lowhill, and Elena went with me. It may cause some misunderstandings and have a certain impact on the Howard family. I am really sorry. " Hearing this, Duke Carter Howard frowned, his eyes no longer soft, and he looked straight at Xia Yu as sharp as a knife. Xia Yu faced it calmly, with a trace of apology on his face. Originally, he could not say that Duke Carter Howard might not know, but if he was kept in the dark but was specifically targeted by the Rohill family and suffered a dark loss unknowingly, then Xia Yu¡¯s guilt would be serious. Now, how can he be worthy of Elena? Therefore, he felt that he should tell the matter directly to Duke Carter Howard, at least let the latter know. At this moment, Elena reacted. Seeing her father¡¯s attitude was completely different, she knew that her father was serious, and she panicked. She immediately excused Xia Yu and said: "Father, Xia Yu has always told me not to go, but I think , I am also a member of the company. I have the responsibility and obligation to participate in major affairs involving the company. I am only going on behalf of myself." When Duke Carter Howard heard his daughter say this, he was obviously defending Xia Yu, but he felt even more uncomfortable. He felt that his cabbage had been arched by a pig. His eyes moved back and forth between Xia Yu and Elena, as if he wanted to see the relationship between the two clearly. His actions made Elena''s face a little red, as if the little secret had been discovered. This change in Elena''s expression was captured by Duke Carter Howard, and the discomfort in her heart became more intense. At this time, Xia Yu said again: "Sir Carter, I actually agreed to go with Elena. If there is any impact on the Howard family later, I am willing to take responsibility." Hearing what Xia Yu was so responsible, Carter Howard was taken aback for a while, and he stared at Xia Yu for a long time. He saw the calmness and sincerity in Xia Yu''s eyes, and he suddenly felt better. This kid is also a man! His frowning brows gradually slowed down, and asked Xia Yu, "What happened after you met Jacob Rohill?" Xia Yu said in detail: "Jacob Rohill sold all the Mirror Group to me, and at the same time sold me a part of the Coca-Cola Company. As for the conditions, I will sell the Royal Bank of Scotland 100%. The fifth equity was sold to Barclays Bank." As soon as he said this, Duke Carter Howard''s already soothed brows frowned again. He took a deep look at Xia Yu and asked in a deep voice, "How much equity does Barclays Bank hold in Royal Bank of Scotland?" Xia Yu replied calmly: "41.1.1%." Duke Carter Howard nodded slightly, looked at his daughter, and asked Xia Yu again: "Then what do you think?" Xia Yu knew what Duke Carter Howard meant, and the corners of his mouth curled up and said: "I know that the Rohill family is uneasy and kind, but they just want to infiltrate my business, annex me, and at the worst, they will also earn me income. ." "But I still promised to cooperate with them. Although the risks are high, but as long as you are careful, the harvest will be very rich. I have confidence in myself." Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s self-confidence, Duke Carter Howard subconsciously wanted to say that he was a little arrogant, but when he thought about Xia Yu¡¯s legendary rise, and his current career that is not inferior to the Howard family, he didn¡¯t know how to speak. . He suddenly realized that Xia Yu had grown to such a point without knowing it, making even the Rothschild family count him, and he was indeed a peerless genius. He couldn''t help but compare the younger generations of big families he had seen and heard in Britain and even Europe, and silently discovered that none of them could compare to Xia Yu, and the gap was still very large. He looked at it subconsciously and blinked his eyes, his eyes were a little worried and pleading, and looked at Xia Yu''s Irene from time to time with some worry, the corners of his mouth could not help but a sigh in his heart. He is a person who advocates romance. He doesn''t like to be bound by the world. He is an alien among the British aristocracy, so he doesn''t care much about many things about his children, especially his daughter Elena''s love. He has never interfered, just She has been teaching her not to fall in love with one person easily, but to learn to be responsible for her life, nothing more! Fortunately, Elena has a very quiet personality. Since childhood, Elena has never made him sad. But now, it was clear that Elena seemed to be attracted by the brat in front of her. Although Xia Yu is a yellow race, Carter Howard doesn''t care. After all, it is his daughter''s choice. He respects her daughter''s choice. He can understand the pain of being interfered in love by his parents, just like he had done before. Fortunately, he has persisted. The price is that his parents deprived him of the right to inherit the family. Now inheriting the title is also due to fate. In addition, Xia Yu''s strength is fully qualified to be on the same level as the Howard family. Although he was born in the grassroots, he is a rich generation and is not many times better than the so-called heirs of other families. He is absolutely right against the Howard family. Throughout the ages, there have been few founders of a consortium and a family. They are definitely the elites of the times, and one person is a rich man! If Xia Yu can be **** by marriage, I believe that almost all big families in Europe will have their proud heads and instruct girls in the family to contact Xia Yu. This is a 100% thing that will happen. Maybe the Rohill family are all there. Take this idea. As for Xia Yu seems to have a confidante, Carter Howard doesn''t care. When he was young, he was more romantic than Xia Yu. He often didn''t know which girl''s house he woke up in. It was not until he met Elena''s mother that he fully realized it. , Change evil and return to the right. If Elena is really with Xia Yu, then if Xia Yu hurts his precious daughter, it will not be too late to decide how to intervene. Now that both of them haven''t done anything yet, he can still open one eye and close one eye. Thinking of this, Duke Carter Howard''s mentality quietly changed, and his eyes on Xia Yu became a lot closer. This change was immediately noticed by Xia Yu. He was overjoyed and glanced at Elena. I heard Duke Carter Howard reminded Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, although you are very genius, the Rohill family is not simple, you can¡¯t care about it. After all, the Rohill family started as a bank, and now they have penetrated Your two banks your other banks have to be careful not to let them catch the opportunity." "Also in Europe, although the Rohill family has many alliances, most of them are Jewish families, but they have more enemies. Although Europe is about the same size as the United States, there are too many countries here, and there are also many ancient families. There are complex relationships between each family." "I will sort out the relationship between the various families these days, and I will ask Elena to give it to you at that time. You can take a closer look, lest you accidentally be calculated." The attitude of Duke Carter Howard is really different. He took the initiative to help him, and he is still ready to lift the most secretive veil of old Europe. This is not too busy. Although Xia Yu knows part of it, Duke Carter Howard said it. Yes, there are too many large and small families hidden in Europe. There are families that exist for hundreds of years and thousands of years. The relationship is too complicated. Xia Yu said gratefully: "Sir Carter, thank you!" Duke Carter Howard responded calmly. At this time, Xia Yu felt that it was time to bring up the purpose of this trip. He looked straight and said: "Sir Carter, I have a proposal that is beneficial to the Howard family, and it is definitely beneficial to Lloyds Bank. If Deutsche Bank does not change it, it will be in big trouble." Duke Carter Howard''s eyes narrowed. It turned out to be Lloyds Bank? And there will be big trouble? He is one of the top shareholders of Lloyds Bank. This bank is also the core of the aristocratic alliance. If something goes wrong, the impact will be great, and it will affect the whole body. As one of the leaders of the Noble Alliance, Carter Howard had to pay attention to it! He immediately asked: "What trouble will Lloyd Bank have?" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 801: Pit dug for the Rohir family Xia Yu said slowly: "Sir Carter, you should know that in the second half of the 1970s, due to the changes in the world economy, the international banking business had new developments. Therefore, since a few years ago, banks from various countries were fighting for opportunities. , Have begun to implement international strategies." Duke Carter Howard nodded slightly to express his approval. This is true. It is precisely because of this change that Lloyds Bank has made strategic adjustments and turned its attention from the UK to the international market, hoping to use the money of the local tyrants in the Middle East to rapidly grow Lloyd Bank. It can be said that four years ago, Lloyds Bank basically operated in the United Kingdom. The business of the United Kingdom accounted for 90% of Lloyds Bank¡¯s business, and the remaining 10% were basically the Commonwealth of Canada and Australia. As for the contribution of the member countries¡¯ markets, there is almost no business in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Xia Yu continued: ¡°Lloyds Bank¡¯s entry into the international market is not wrong, because with the integration of the global economy, it will be difficult for Lloyd¡¯s Bank to enter the global big bank camp by relying on its domestic business alone, and it will even be far away. Left behind." "But the crux of the problem is that due to strategic mistakes, Lloyd¡¯s Bank expanded arbitrarily without understanding the situation. It was only to compete for the market, but it relaxed risk control. Now Lloyd¡¯s Bank has planted a big bomb. According to the current international economic situation, at most one and a half years, the bomb of Lloyds Bank will explode. "There are two bombs, namely loans to Latin American countries and loans in the field of commercial real estate." Duke Carter Howard condensed his eyes, frowned, and looked at Xia Yu seriously and asked, "Xia Yu, are you sure? Give me a reason!" Xia Yu questioned the wrong strategy of Lloyd Bank. Duke Carter Howard did not immediately refute it because he knew Xia Yu''s strength in the financial field. He did not care whether he was right or wrong, but he was absolutely qualified to say this. He also knows that Lloyds Bank has indeed made great strides in recent years, and relying on the influence of the United Kingdom and major families on Latin American countries, Lloyds Bank has taken many shortcuts and grabbed a lot of business. This makes Lloyds Bank''s total loan business in Latin American countries ranked second, second only to Barclays Bank. As for commercial real estate loans, Lloyds Bank¡¯s lending outlets are relatively large and loose due to physical mortgages. Commercial real estate loans are now an important business of Lloyds Bank. It can be said that these two businesses are developed after strategic adjustments, and the growth rate is the most obvious. They are the two pillar businesses of Lloyds Bank and are very important. But because it was so important, he had to pay more attention to Xia Yu''s words. Xia Yu nodded heavily and said with certainty: "Of course, this is the result of my research and my think tank. I judge that Latin American countries have already walked on the edge of a cliff without knowing it, and they are doomed to a sovereign debt crisis. !" "Sovereign debt crisis!" After the word came out of Xia Yu''s mouth, Duke Carter Howard''s expression instantly became solemn, and he asked: "How do you judge it?" The sovereign debt crisis is no joke. If it does happen then one of them will count as one, and all the banks involved will be unlucky. What is sovereign debt? It refers to the debt that a country borrows from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, or other countries and banks with its own sovereignty as a guarantee. The reason why Latin American sovereign debt attracts so many financial institutions is that all financial institutions believe that Latin American international sovereignty and credibility are sufficient, and they will not lose money when lending them. Just like the chairman of Citibank, Reston once said: "The country will never go bankrupt!" This sentence is regarded as a standard by major banks and financial institutions. In this respect, it is somewhat similar to the purchase of US Treasury bonds by later generations, who believe that the United States will never go bankrupt. There is another reason why major banks lend to Latin American countries because they deposit too much money and have to find a place to spend it. Latin America¡¯s sovereign debt seems to be the most stable. Because of the sharp rise in oil prices from 1973 to 1974, the income of oil exporting countries soared. These countries have deposited huge amounts of oil income in major European banks, and Europe and the United States have fallen into economic quagmire, which is not something that money can solve. The major banks invest their money in developing countries to make money. In other words, if a sovereign debt crisis occurs, then the country¡¯s credibility will go bankrupt, which will cause the country¡¯s financial system to collapse, and even affect the international financial system. Lloyds Bank, which is in the international financial system, will naturally not run away. Drop. Not to mention that Lloyds Bank also lends very hard. Seeing that Sir Carter Howard took it seriously, Xia Yu paused and said slowly: "Sir Carter, we have compiled some statistics from Latin American countries. Let me tell you first." "In 1971, Mexico¡¯s debt was only 5 billion U.S. dollars, but by this year, Mexico¡¯s debt has risen to 71 billion U.S. dollars." "But last year, Mexico''s GDP was only 112 billion U.S. dollars, which means that the debt balance accounted for 63.4% of Mexico''s GDP!" "Mexico''s economic growth rate last year was only 8.3%, which is far below the growth rate of debt." "According to this trend, the debt balance will account for an increasing proportion of Mexico''s GDP, and leverage will increase!" "Mexico occupies an important position in the Latin American economic system. This is the case even in Mexico. The situation in Brazil, Peru, Argentina and other countries is similar, or even more serious." "However, due to the oil crisis last year and severe domestic inflation in the United States, the Federal Reserve began to implement a tight monetary policy, which forced a large amount of funds to flow out of Latin America, which prompted changes in the debt structure of Latin American countries, and the proportion of short-term debt was rising. The proportion has increased by 10% in just six months. Therefore, Mexico¡¯s short-term debt repayment pressure is increasing." "The Fed¡¯s monetary tightening has also made the U.S. dollar stronger, forcing commodity prices to fall, while the exports of countries such as Latin America are extremely dependent on commodities. This means that the export income of countries such as Latin America is getting lower and lower, and the balance of payments is becoming more and more uneven. ." "International capital flows have reversed, and the scale of short-term debt has increased rapidly. The balance of payments of American countries is not making ends meet, and debt default is inevitable. There is no thunderstorm yet because Latin America and other countries can still support it." "But as long as the Fed''s tightening monetary policy is not lifted, the situation in Latin America and other countries will become more and more serious, until the sovereign debt defaults." ... "Sir Carter, do you think the Fed will give up? The United States is experiencing serious inflation. Paul Volcker will never give up tightening monetary policy before the United States is out of trouble for the United States'' economic recovery. No one can interfere! The United States needs it. The blood of the world transports nutrients for it." "Regardless of the major consortia in the United States or the Jews in the United States, what they need is a strong America to ensure their safety!" The last sentence made Duke Carter Howard''s face more serious. He had already listened to Xia Yu''s words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, and he knew that Xia Yu was right. The interests of the United States are the interests of the Jews. The Jews have a pivotal power at the top of the United States. Only when the United States is strong can the Jews of the United States be able to use the strength of the United States to ensure the security of Israel and the security of the Jews around the world. This is Paul Volcker. German Jews are absolutely paramount in the interests of the United States and Jews, and will never care about the life and death of other countries. Xia Yu is also aware of the influence of Jews on the US financial system, especially the Federal Reserve. From 1951 until his rebirth, except for 1978-1979 when he was not a Jew as the chairman of the Federal Reserve for one and a half years, any other chairman of the Federal Reserve was Jewish! "Sir Carter, now major banks and financial institutions only know to lend. Just like Lloyds Bank, they have been paralyzed by the days of lying down and making money. Now it is better to run as soon as possible. If you wait for another half a year, definitely There will be financial institutions looking back. It will be difficult to get away at that time Duke Carter Howard nodded solemnly, and suddenly asked: "What you said makes sense, I will keep it secret. Arrange people for targeted research, and then make a decision. " "By the way, didn''t you say you have a proposal? What is it?" Xia Yu raised his mouth slightly and said with a faint smile: "Isn''t Barclays still investing in Latin America on a large scale? I heard that Barclays has robbed Lloyds Bank of a lot of business in Latin America. A large bank, Barclays Bank is absolutely capable of taking over all the businesses of Lloyds Bank." "With Barclays Bank''s current actions, it is absolutely unaware of the crisis. As long as Lloyds Bank is willing to transfer its business, I believe Barclays Bank will be happy to take over." Hearing this, Duke Carter Howard''s eyes became deep, he took a deep look at Xia Yu, and his impression of Xia Yu changed dramatically. I can''t tell, Xia Yu is gentle on the surface, but he is very fierce, and he has a strong pharaoh and a strong vengeful heart. Whoever provokes him will be unlucky. Even though the Roshir family had calculated for him, before showing his fangs, Xia Yu directly dug the Roshir family a big pit, or dig the kind of big pit that accidentally buried Barclays Bank completely. Barclays Bank is the bank with the largest loan business volume in Latin America, and Lloyds Bank''s business volume is the second. If these two belong to Barclays Bank, then no bank in the UK or even Europe can match Barclays Bank. But if there is a real explosion of thunder and a sovereign debt crisis occurs, then Barclays Bank will have to peel off if it is not dead, and the Rohill family must be greatly injured! PS: I¡¯m working overtime late, I didn¡¯t finish writing until half past two, ask for votes! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 802: Layout for counterattack After Xia Yu proposed countermeasures, Duke Carter Howard paid more attention to Xia Yu''s judgment in his mind. Since Xia Yu wanted to retaliate against the Rohill family, he was not sure that he would never advise him to do so. Otherwise, if the Latin American sovereign debt crisis does not occur, if Lloyds Bank transfers its loan business to Barclays Bank, it will be an enemy. "It seems that I have to investigate carefully, and some of the time will be busy..." Duke Carter Howard thought to himself. Seeing that Duke Carter Howard listened, Xia Yu stopped talking too much and changed the subject. For example-Xiangjiang Daoheng Bank in the hands of Lloyds Bank. "Sir Carter, I have something to ask you for help." Duke Carter Howard raised his brows and asked: "What do you need me to do, if I can help you, I will be happy." Xia Yu said with a smile: "It''s not a troublesome thing. I don''t know if you know that Lloyds Bank holds 61.5% of the shares in Xiangjiang Daoheng Bank. I want these shares." Xia Yu had known this information a long time ago, but at that time because he was not familiar with Lloyds Bank and had not yet established a relationship with Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu did not mention it. But this was only stimulated by the Lauhill family, and Xia Yu took this opportunity to plan to acquire Daoheng Bank, so as not to ignore it later. The Rothschild family has now coveted him, and now they have seized the opportunity to enter the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank in his financial system. According to the original plan, after the acquisition of these two banks, it was to merge with Jiuding Bank, Chiba Bank, etc. to form an international large bank group. But now that the Roshir family has come in, Xia Yu''s plan can only be forced to stop. If the Rothschild family knew about Xia Yu''s original plan, they might continue to encourage Xia Yu to do this, so as to penetrate Xia Yu''s entire bank foundation. Of course someone has to ask, what does this have to do with Xia Yu''s acquisition of Daoheng Bank? The relationship is naturally there. Now Xia Yu has been targeted by the Rohill family. Of course, other large European consortia will also notice Xia Yu because of this, not to mention the big consortium in the United States. It can be said that Xia Yu suddenly entered the sight of the top figure in control of the world. However, Xia Yu is only a yellow race. In today''s white supremacy world, it is easy to be targeted by large European and American consortia and families. Just with one or two medium-sized consortiums or families alone, Xia Yu is not afraid of being a joint hunting target for others. Therefore, Xia Yu''s sense of crisis greatly increased. And the best way is to make one''s own lair into a general iron, so as not to be "raided Pearl Harbor." Finance is the most important part of Tietong''s building. Xia Yu wants to build Xiangjiang into his own financial kingdom. Nowadays, there are actually three hills in the field of HeungKong Bank, namely HSBC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank. As for HeungKong Bank of China, its strong presence at this time is because of its aura, not strength, and there are no other banks under its umbrella. , So it can¡¯t be counted as a series, one level lower. Among the three hills, the HSBC Bank is the highest, controlling or taking stakes in six banks, of which the number one horse is Hang Seng Bank. The second is Standard Chartered Bank, with five banks taking their lead and their strengths are also very strong. Finally, it was Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Bank, which had previously acquired two Xiangjiang Banks. Although there were few banks under his command, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Consortium was horrified and forced the Jiuding Bank to contribute. Now that Standard Chartered Bank has been controlled by Xia Yu, if you add Jiuding Bank, in fact, Xiangjiang''s financial supreme throne has shifted from Shen Bi to Xia Yu. If HSBC can be acquired, then Xia Yu''s financial kingdom will take shape in an instant, and everyone will have to listen to it. Even if it is the Swire Consortium, Xia Yu can pinch his neck and knead at will. But the problem is that HSBC cannot buy it, so it just invests in some shares. In this case, we can only strengthen the strength of Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank. Of the two, Xia Yu certainly chose his son Jiuding Bank. The best way to increase strength is to acquire banks to increase financial market share and voice. Controlled in the hands of Lloyds Bank, Dao Heng Bank, Xiangjiang''s mid-sized bank, is an excellent acquisition target. If Xia Yu doesn''t do it, then in two years, Dao Heng Bank will be acquired by the Hong Leong Group of the Kuok family in Malaysia, and will eventually acquire other banks step by step, and become another Guoco Group in the banking system. Of course, by 2001, Dao Heng Bank, which has a market value of 22 billion Hong Kong dollars, will be acquired by the Singapore Development Bank from the Hong Leong Group for 45 billion Hong Kong dollars. Rather than keeping it for others, it is better to buy it at a low price early to consolidate its bank foundation and improve the blood supply capacity of the Jiuding Consortium. Duke Carter Howard thought for a while. It seems that Lloyds Bank really has equity in Daoheng Bank. He doesn''t know how much it is. After all, he is only a major shareholder and is not responsible for the operation of Lloyd Bank. Moreover, over the years, there have been more banks that Lloyd¡¯s Bank has acquired or invested in. He does not remember it. But since Xia Yu wants it to be a local bank in Hong Kong, the problem is naturally not big. He nodded slightly and said, "I will check it for you. If it is not difficult, I will buy it for you directly." Xia Yu smiled and said gratefully: "Then thank you Sir." Now that the future of Xiangjiang is uncertain, and the British have no bottom, even with the face of Duke Carter Howard, the management of Lloyds Bank must be a good favor. ... After Xia Yu left, Duke Carter Howard immediately contacted several major shareholders of Lloyd Bank and the bank''s management to hold a secret meeting. After the meeting, Lloyds Bank appeared to be the same as usual, but internally began to rectify, especially the major shareholders secretly used their own resources to collect the situation in Latin America. As for the equity in Daoheng Bank that Xia Yu wanted, it was not difficult as he expected. Only four days later, Duke Carter Howard asked Elena to bring the Dao Heng Bank¡¯s equity certificate and the unfinished equity transfer contract for Xia Yu to sign and complete. What''s more to say, Xia Yu directly signed and then credited the 9 million pounds of the affordable price quoted by the Duke of Carter Howard into the account of Howard Investments. Nine million pounds, according to today''s latest exchange rate, is about 92 million Hong Kong dollars, but the purchase of 61.5% of the equity is not too affordable. According to this price calculation, Dao Heng Bank is only worth 150 million Hong Kong dollars ~ www.novelhall.com ~ will be converted like this, because Dao Heng Bank is not listed. If two years later, according to the original history, the Hong Leong Group was slaughtered by Lloyds Bank, Dao Heng Bank was sold for 600 million Hong Kong dollars. After obtaining the equity, Xia Yu''s coming to the UK can be said to be done. As for whether Lloyds Bank would pit Barclays Bank, Xia Yu felt that he would definitely do it. After all, the ancient British aristocratic alliance and the Rohill family were rivals. Before leaving, Xia Yu went to Huashang Bank, had a secret meeting with Wu Hongyi, and gave him the details, pay attention to the situation of Huashang Bank''s shareholders, and don''t let Huashang Bank be infiltrated. Then Xia Yu approached George Berkeley and asked him to send someone to set up a branch in Canada to lay a foundation. The Rohill family is powerful in Canada. It can be said that Canada is the site and stronghold of the Rohill family, which echoes the domestic branches of the United States. Xia Yu wants to fight with the Roshir family, so naturally he has to penetrate the enemy and increase his bargaining chips. It''s good to say that it''s impossible to operate, but it can also subvert the position of the Rohill family in Canada. Canada is set up, so Xia Yu will naturally not fall in France, where the Rohill family''s most important stronghold is located. According to his original intention, he wanted to go directly to France by himself. But now he is absolutely stared at by the Rohill family, and suddenly going to France will definitely arouse the Rohill family''s suspicion, for which he had to give up his original plan. After he left, George Berkeley sent people to France to investigate the situation in all walks of life and collect Fran?ois Mitterrand''s intelligence. After all the arrangements were made, Xia Yu boarded the plane in Elena''s reluctant gaze, not for the United States, but for Xiangjiang. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 803: Accidentally urged to marry (4000 words big "The sky in Xiangjiang still looks comfortable!" Walking out of the airport lobby, Xia Yu looked at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and said with emotion. "Yes, staying abroad is uncomfortable, but it is still comfortable at home." Li Wuming, who followed Xia Yu, also smiled and nodded in agreement. The two months have really made him feel uncomfortable. One of the most important reasons is that the language is not clear, and few people can communicate. Although he has a relatively silent temperament, it does not mean he is dumb. He still chats a few words when he meets acquaintances. However, his English is not good in foreign countries. Only Xia Yu and other bodyguards can communicate. Xia Yu took a look, understood Li Wuming''s mentality, and said with a smile: "Second brother, then you have to cherish this time. I guess I will be back for a few days before going to the United States." Li Wuming smiled and nodded, "A few days are enough, your career is more important." "They are here!" Xia Yu looked in the direction indicated by Li Wuming, and she saw Li Qian rushing towards him with joy. "A Yu, I am here!" Seeing Li Qian seem to be staggering, Xia Yu was startled, and immediately ran over to hug her tightly. "A Yu, I miss you so much, you are finally back..." Li Qian sobbed excitedly, her body trembled a little, and she was obviously too excited. Xia Yu''s heart warmed, stroked her back, and said softly, "Yes, I''m back, Cici, I miss you so much." ... For a long time, I felt that Li Qian''s mood was much calmer. Xia Yu looked at Li Wuming, Huo Jianning and others who pretended to look around as if nothing had happened. He smiled lightly and whispered in Li Qian''s ear, who was intoxicated in his arms: " Cici, many people are watching." Li Qianxia flew her cheeks, struggling out of Xia Yu''s arms a little bit shyly, tidying up her hair and clothes, and said to Xia Yu: "A Yu, let''s go home first. I made a lot of snacks in the morning. I just learned it. You haven¡¯t eaten it before. Let¡¯s go home and try if it¡¯s delicious." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, rubbing Li Qian''s hair and said: "Let''s go, go home!" "um hum!" After all, Xia Yu took Li Qian towards the parking lot... This time, Xia Yu did not go back to his and Li Qian''s residence, but went directly to his home. After Huo Jianning and others were unwilling to go to his house, he was instructed to start the company. He hadn''t seen his family for a long time, so Yu Qingyuli returned to Xiangjiang and wanted to greet his parents as soon as possible. As for Li Qian, as early as Xia Yu took her home once, Xia Mu Chenmei liked Li Qian, a gentle, generous and sweet prospective daughter-in-law very much. When Xia Yu was in Xiangjiang, Xia Mu was not doing well. But when Xia Yu went to the United States, Xia''s mother was worried that Li Qian would live alone, so she always called Li Qian and told her to come back for dinner and live there. At first, Li Qian was embarrassed, but she got Xia After Yu''s approval, she gradually returned. "Wang...Wang Wang..." The car entered the Xia Mansion. As soon as Xia Yu got out of the car, he saw two Corgis who sprang out from unknown places, twisting their enchanting buttocks around Li Qian''s feet, and one of them looked up at Xia Yu. Xia Yu squatted down and picked up a Corgi, which was a mother, pushing her short legs as if trying to escape from Xia Yu''s clutches. "When are there two more puppies in the house?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Li Qian smiled softly and said softly, "It''s been a month and a half. I happened to take Amin and Xiaomei to the mall. When I saw a newly opened pet shop, I went in and looked. Amin and Xiaomei wanted to raise Corgi. I like it too, so I bought two, they are a pair, the male is Dudu and the female is Lily." "Since these two little guys have been added to the family, there has been more laughter at home." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "If I knew you liked it, I would have bought Corgi last year." "It''s not too late, hehe..." Li Qian said happily, sweet in her heart. "A Yu, are you back?" "A Yu..." At this moment, a joyous voice came. Xia Yu followed his reputation and saw that it was his parents. Of course, he also had his uncle Chen Liang and cousin Chen Bin. As for the younger brothers and sisters, they should not be at home. At school. "Parents, uncles, cousins, I''m back." Xia Yu put down Ke Ji Lili and walked over quickly. "Let me see, it hasn''t become thinner, and it has grown a lot taller, good... good..." Mother Xia''s eyes were a little ruddy, she grabbed Xia Yu''s hand, looked at Xia Yu up and down carefully, and said happily. "Mom, I''m strong, don''t worry, I will take care of myself when I go out." Xia Yu patted his chest and smiled. "That''s good...that''s good..." Mother Xia said with a smile on her face. "Okay, my son is back, don''t you hurry up and call your son in? What are you doing standing stupid at the door?" Seeing Mother Xia was a little stunned, Father Xia reminded me in an angry way that Mother Xia just woke up like a dream, and quickly pulled Xia Yu in. Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded by his mother and pulled him closer to the house. He hadn''t come back for more than two months and that''s it. If he left for a year and a half later, what would it be? After entering, Li Qian took out several boxes sealed with plastic wrap from the refrigerator as if offering treasures, and contained exquisite snacks made by her. Xia Yu ate snacks and talked with his family about what he had seen and heard abroad. "Uncle, is there a lot of work pressure now?" Xia Yu added some tea to his uncle Chen Liang, who had been smiling but not talking, and asked with concern. Chen Liang smiled and shook his head and said, "It''s not too big, so I will help you see the factory. The whole factory is the easiest for me." Xia Yu laughed and said, "Uncle, you can''t say that. Your position is too important. With such a big factory and so many goods in it, I can only rest assured that I have to take care of my family." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Chen Liang smiled, patted his chest and said: "Ayu, don''t worry, I will show you the factory and I will never lose a product." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course I can rest assured, if you help me look at me, uncle, who can I rest assured?" "Haha..." Chen Liang laughed cheerfully. "Cousin, how about you? How do you feel?" Xia Yu looked at his cousin Chen Bin again and asked with a smile. Perhaps after more than a year of tempering, Chen Bin''s personality is not so silent, at least he has a lot of natural conversation, but facing Xia Yu, there is still a little bit of reluctance: "A Yu, I have a very fulfilling life. The factory manager also values ??me very much. Many things allow me to exercise more. I feel that in just one year, I have learned more than all the accumulations before." "That''s good!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "By the way, cousin, you are twenty-three this year, you are not too young, haven''t you met the right person? Don''t make uncle wait in a hurry." As soon as he said this, Chen Bin was silent for a moment, looked at his father and then at Xia Yu, a little twisted. At this time, Xia Mu said: "A Yu, A Bin has someone he likes, but the girl''s parents disagree with their daughter''s dating A Bin." Xia Yu raised his brows and asked with a funny smile to Chen Bin: "Cousin, what is going on? Which one has such a high threshold?" Chen Bin was a little nervous, and quickly explained: "It''s not any. I didn''t know the background of her family before. Now that I know it, her father is a well-known rich man in the New Territories. I heard that there are millions of property." It''s only ten million possessions, and he still looks down on Xia Yu''s cousin? Xia Yu''s eyes were thoughtful, probably something went wrong. He suddenly asked: "Cousin, did you tell their family about my relationship with you?" Chen Bin was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." This is no wonder! At this time, Mother Xia once again explained the situation to Xia Yu: "A Yu, you also know that your uncle and your cousin are honest people. Except for people who already know, they have never deliberately spoken out. There were still people in the village. Discuss, now that they have moved away, the new neighbors don¡¯t know their situation." "I will ask your uncle to make it clear to the woman''s family that your uncle refuses, and your cousin is also a stubborn ass, he just refuses to talk about marriage under your banner." Xia Yu suddenly understood, and took a high look at his cousin. The uncle''s family really didn''t disappoint him. After more than two years, it was still the same as before. He also understands his uncle''s thoughts, but his cousin is twenty-three after all, and his uncle is not too young anymore. It¡¯s not easy to intervene when he hasn¡¯t met someone who is right. Now that he has met someone who is right, how can Xia Yu? It is impossible to stand by. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Cousin, after knowing that the family has blocked, what is the girl''s attitude towards you?" Chen Bin said immediately: "Li Lan is very good to me. We had been dating for three months before being discovered by her parents. After her parents stopped, she would still find the opportunity to write to me. She said she wanted to run out and talk to me. , But her parents took it very seriously." Speaking of this, Chen Bin seemed to have the strong and beautiful girl in his mind again. His eyes suddenly became firm. He looked straight at Xia Yu and pleaded with him: "A Yu, I want to ask you something. " Xia Yu was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "My family, if you can''t ask for anything, just say it straight, I will do my best to help you." Chen Bin blushed and gritted his teeth and said, "I want to borrow some money from you to open a factory. I went to the vicinity of Li Lan''s house once before and was bumped by her dad. His dad thought I was born in grassroots and said I was not worthy of his daughter. He also said that he had suffered all his life, and he didn¡¯t want his daughter to suffer too. He would only marry his daughter to a rich child." "So I want to prove that I can also have money, and I have the ability to live a good life for Li Lan!" At the end, Chen Bin''s voice gradually became louder, with blue veins on his neck violently, his eyes full of determination. "I know that as long as you say your name, his father will definitely agree, but I want to prove my ability upright. What I lack is an opportunity. I have the ability to take care of her!" "Papa..." "it is good!" Xia Yu applauded and applauded. His cousin''s performance today has almost overturned his impression of him. This is a very good backbone. Chen Bin already has the most important thing to be a successful person. Sure enough, love is full of magic, and can make a person''s earth-shaking changes. Fortunately, Chen Bin''s change is good. Isn''t it just a lack of opportunity? Completely trivial! Therefore Xia Yu promised to say: "No problem, how much do you need?" With gratitude in his eyes, Chen Bin said immediately: "It is enough to borrow 300,000 from me. This is an IOU." With that said, he took out the IOU he had prepared before and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took a look, but laughed blankly, but once again looked at his cousin Chen Bin again. He thought for a while, put the IOU on the table, and said: "A billionaire once said that the hardest money in life is the first one million, so don''t say anything about 300,000. I borrow You started with a million dollars." "And don''t the toy factory need a lot of raw material suppliers? If you don''t think about what to do, just start with that and be my supplier." Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Chen Bin, who was surprised and stunned, and said with a straight face: "But I will teach you a truth today, that is, my brothers should settle accounts clearly and be in business." "I will give you a chance to be my supplier, but the rules are fixed. The premise is that the quality of your products must meet the standard, otherwise I will not use it. I will make it clear to the person in charge of the factory whether you have opinion?" Chen Bin immediately shook his head and said, "No opinion! Doing business is to follow the rules." "A Yu, you have given me a chance that no one else can grab. I am very satisfied. I will cherish it and supply the products in the factory. I will do my best, and I will never hold back you!" "If I can''t do this, I won''t have the face to see Li Lan!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Then it''s settled. When you give me your bank account, I will transfer one million in." "A Yu, thank you!" Chen Bin said excitedly. "It''s all from my own family, what do you say thank you, if you can build a wealthy Chen family in Xiangjiang, you are the biggest gratitude to me!" Xia Yu smiled. The uncles Chen Liang and Xia''s father Xiamu who had been watching from the side laughed suddenly, and Chen Liang''s eyes flashed with longing, and encouraged his son Chen Bin: "A Bin, remember that A Yu is kind to our family. If you can develop the Chen family as A Yu said, and become a multimillionaire, you will be worth it in my life!" Xia Yu laughed and said, "Uncle, don''t make such a quick conclusion. My cousin is still young. As long as he works pragmatically, does business with rules, and does not take detours, the future will definitely be very brilliant." "Cousin, don''t let your uncle down, he is looking forward to you marrying your daughter-in-law home, so he can hold your grandson soon!" Chen Bin nodded his head: "Yes, I won''t let everyone down!" "A Yu, don''t just talk about your cousin how about yourself? When will you let mom hold your grandson?" At this moment, Mother Xia suddenly said, still smiling, looking at Li Qian with expectant eyes. Xia Yu was stunned, looked at her mother, and then at Li Qian, who was also unprepared and shyly lowered her head and her ears were red, and said dumbfoundedly: "Mom, aren''t you playing the piano? I''m still young. , Why are you in a hurry? Now I''m talking about my cousin!" Perhaps all women are like this. Looking forward to the life of holding grandson in the future, Chen Mei seemed to have changed himself, and retorted Xia Yu and said: "What does this have to do with being young? You are all grown up? And you haven''t studied for two years. It is said that you have established a family and established a business. If you have established a career, and you have laid such a large foundation, it is time to start a family and give the Xia family an incense." Xia Yu shrugged helplessly and looked at his father. I saw my father also smiled and said in agreement: "A Yu, what your mother said is right, you are not too young, but dad doesn¡¯t understand your plan, so you know what you have in mind. You should consider this. You see when I was young, I played with you. Except for A Jun and A Lei, everyone else basically got married. Chengming''s Ergou who is the same year as you has children this year." In the face of the parents of the united front, Xia Yu could only retreat and used a great procrastination technique. He quickly said: "Parents, don''t worry, I know this in my heart. I will consider this matter. I will go back to the room and pack my things. ." "Cici, go up for me and help me clean up together." "Ok!" Seeing the two people quickly leaving and disappearing at the corner of the stairs, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother looked at each other with a smile, and then chatted with Chen Liang. PS: Work overtime every day. Today, the two chapters are in one. Nothing, everyone go to bed earlier. I can''t stand it anymore. My eyes are bloodshot every day. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 804: Feng Jingxis cooperation Just after dinner at noon, uncle Chen Liang and cousin Chen Bin said goodbyes, and Xia Yu directly arranged for the driver to take them back. On this day, Xia Yu didn''t go anywhere. After making some arrangements on the phone, he stayed at home, relaxed for a while, accompanied his parents, and had a very comfortable life. But happy times are always short. Early the next morning, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Building and gathered all the heads of his company together, listened to the reports of everyone, and deepened his control over the company. After all, the career plate is big. After more than two months, there will always be some problems of all kinds, some of which require his authorization and approval. Fortunately, Xia Yu is energetic and strong in memory, so he can bring a huge amount of information into his mind at once. ... Headquarters of Jiuding Bank, Hong Kong Island. Wearing sunglasses, Xia Yu was accompanied by Liu Tianci, inspecting the operation of the bank and gaining insight into the bank''s business volume and strength. "God, has the shareholder information of Dao Heng Bank changed?" After a long time, Xia Yu put down the documents in his hand and asked Liu Tianci, who was sitting quietly beside him. "Compared with last year, some changes have taken place. This is the latest equity information I have collected. Take a look." Liu Tianci said, handing a piece of paper to Xia Yu. This is the information he collected urgently after calling him yesterday afternoon. It involves increasing the strength of Jiuding Bank. Liu Tianci will naturally use 200% of his energy. The content of the information is not much, Xia Yu took a few seconds to read it and read it. The remaining 38.5% of Dao Heng Bank¡¯s equity is outside, all in the hands of Chinese shareholders, and there are a total of ten Chinese shareholders. At this time, the founder of Dao Heng Bank was no longer in the scope of shareholders. After the death of the founder, the descendants had no intention of operating and were unable to operate, so they sold all of the bank''s equity to Lloyds Bank early. Among the current ten shareholders, Lijia holds the most shares, owning 7.5 percent. The second is Feng Jingxi¡¯s Sun Hung Kai Finance Company, which holds 6.8% of the shares. Next are other small and medium Chinese families. Xia Yu''s gaze skipped Lijia directly and fixed on Sun Hung Kai Finance. He is not familiar with Lijia, it can be said that he has no friendship, even because of the terrible competitive relationship between Global TV and TVB, Lijia will definitely be hostile to him. It will not be so easy to acquire the shares of Lijia, and it can be done by other means. I got it, but it was too much time, and it was unnecessary. The best way is to increase his shareholding ratio to more than 67%. Daoheng Bank will be his one word by then, and it will be easy to clear everyone out. In this way, Sun Hung Kai Finance Company is the best choice. He had a lot of friendship with Feng Jingxi. Before, he was a comrade in the same trench and besieged the Jardine Financial Group. It can be said that Feng Jingxi owes others a lot. As long as he comes forward to ask for equity in Daoheng Bank, I believe it is time for a cup of tea. If Sun Hung Kai Finance Company holds 8% of the shares, Xia Yu''s shareholding ratio will reach 68.3%, directly passing the absolute holding line, and still exceeding. After laying down the paper, Xia Yu said lightly: "You go and call Sun Hung Kai Securities Co., and ask Feng Jingxi for me to see if he has time today." Liu Tianci smiled and said, "Okay." After speaking, Liu Tianci walked to the desk, took out the phone book, found the number of Sun Hung Kai Securities, and dialed directly. Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and thought quietly. ... "Chairman, Feng Jingxi is not at Sun Hung Kai Securities, but at Sun Hung Kai Finance. He said that he has time this afternoon and he is waiting for you there." After a while, Liu Tianci came to report to Xia Yuhui. Xia Yu returned to his senses, nodded slightly, and said decisively: "Then let me go and try to win today." "Ok." Soon, Xia Yu took Liu Tianci and drove to the Sun Hung Kai Finance Company, five or six hundred meters away. Yes, Sun Hung Kai Finance is also on Hong Kong Island. As the top financial tycoon of Hong Kong, Feng Jingxi has two financial companies under its umbrella, namely Sun Hung Kai Securities and Sun Hung Kai Finance, both of which were established in 1973. Before Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Securities appeared, Sun Hung Kai Securities could be said to be the leader of Chinese securities companies. Feng Jingxi was also honored by the media as the "stock god". Of course, the gold content of his "stock god" is far less than the latter. The rise of Xia Yu. Sun Hung Kai Finance Company, on the other hand, is a company that accepts deposits from the public. It has some of the functions of a bank. However, because of the Hong Kong government¡¯s card, customers can only be rich people, because the minimum deposit amount for a registered company that accepts deposits is five. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, where does the average person have so much money? With a distance of five or six hundred meters, even if the traffic here in Central is relatively crowded, Xia Yu will arrive in two minutes. Maybe he knew that Xia Yu was coming soon, so Feng Jingxi also came downstairs specially. When Xia Yu entered, he immediately saw Feng Jingxi with a smile on his face. "Xia Sheng, it''s been a long time since I saw you, I really miss it. Now that you come to our company, it''s brilliant! Fortunately! Fortunately!" Feng Jingxi held Xia Yu''s hand tightly, shook it twice, and laughed loudly. "Feng Sheng, it''s really been a long time since we''ve seen each other, I still move less, sorry!" Xia Yu smiled and apologized. "Hey, Xia Sheng''s words are out of the question. I don''t know if you have everything you can do. We will get together again when we have time." Feng Jingxi waved his hand and said. "It''s easy to talk, and as long as I''m in Xiangjiang, I will definitely be there!" Xia Yu smiled and agreed. "Liu Sheng, welcome you!" "Feng Sheng, good afternoon!" After shaking hands with Xia Yu, Feng Jingxi shook hands with Liu Tianci again. "Xia Sheng, Liu Sheng, please come inside, I just got here before the rain, Longjing, you must taste it." "Oh? Then I have a good taste, please..." ... Chatting and tasting tea, the atmosphere gradually became warm. After Feng Jingxi poured tea to Xia Yu and Liu Tianci again, he asked: "Xia Sheng, I don''t know if you are here this time, what is the matter? If I can help, even if I speak, my old Feng will say nothing. " Xia Yu thanked him and said slowly: "That''s it. I heard that Sun Hung Kai Finance Company holds some equity in Daoheng Bank. I wonder if it can be sold to me?" Feng Jingxi was taken aback, remembering the gossip that had come out in the past few days, and stared at Xia Yu and asked: "Xia Sheng, I heard that Lloyd Bank sold the equity, and the buyer is you? How did I hear about the buyer? Is it a big British family?" Xia Yu did not directly buy the equity from Lloyd Bank. There was a Duke Carter Howard in the middle. After Duke Carter Howard bought it, he transferred the equity to Xia Yu, and it was just a matter of these few days. What happened in the UK made Daoheng Bank''s headquarters not clear about the specifics. What was coming out was only gossip. Feng Jingxi was not clear about it and it was normal. Xia Yu smiled and said: "It is indeed me. I entrusted a friend to buy it for me. Now the equity is with me." Feng Jingxi knew it immediately, and immediately felt infinite emotion in his heart To be honest, every health bank in HeungKong is difficult to acquire. Feng Jingxi is working hard in the securities industry and naturally wants to build a big empire in the financial industry, otherwise neither Sun Hung Kai Finance Company was established at the beginning of the meeting. He had also thought about Daoheng Bank, but Lloyds Bank ignored him, and he gradually gave up. Unexpectedly, Daoheng Bank also fell into Xia Yu''s hands. Thinking of Xia Yu''s current banks, Feng Jingxi couldn''t help but shook his head secretly. It can''t be compared. Why is the gap between people so big! Fortunately, his mind is still sober and he knows what occasion it is now. He retracted his mind and said readily: "Xia Sheng, congratulations, there is another bank under his command. Since you need it, then I will add the icing on the cake. I will ask someone to prepare the contract now." "Then trouble Feng Sheng." Xia Yu said thankfully. Soon, Feng Jingxi let his subordinates come in, ordered someone to draw up a contract, and then asked someone to find out the equity of Daoheng Bank. When the agreement was signed, Liu Tianci directly wrote a cheque from Jiuding Bank to Feng Jingxi when he was a little child, who gladly accepted it. The transfer price of 6.8% of the equity was 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Feng Jingxi did not say anything, but sold it to Xia Yu at almost parity, and even lost a little. Xia Yu also said to increase the price a little, and Feng Jingxi changed his face on the spot. Resolutely disagree, Xia Yu can only give up. After seeing Liu Tianci''s receipt of the agreement and stock certificate, Feng Jingxi packed his mood and suddenly proposed to cooperate with Xia Yu. "Xia Sheng, I have a proposal for cooperation. I wonder if you are interested?" Looking at the expectant Feng Jingxi, Xia Yu raised his brows and leaned forward slightly, making a gesture of request: "I wish to hear more!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 805: 2 new members in the bank camp Thinking of the thoughts that suddenly appeared in his heart, Feng Jingxi looked forward with a hint of anxiety. He took a deep breath and slowly said: "Xia Sheng should have heard of my dream. I have always hoped to own a bank." Xia Yu nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard of it, and continued to look at Feng Jingxi, waiting for his next words. Feng Jingxi sighed with emotion and continued: "But my old Feng Sheng is not in time. After I entered the financial industry, the Hong Kong government has strictly controlled the license. Since the 1960s, it has not been issued for nearly 20 years. A bank license." "I also thought about acquiring a bank before, but the first-tier licensed banks with healthy operations have owners, and I can''t eat it. They guard me one by one. Furthermore, I benefit from the prosperity of Sun Hung Kai Securities, my Sun Hung Kai Finance companies have also been able to absorb deposits smoothly, so I also look down on banks with second-level restricted licenses." "I have contacted the Hong Kong government no less than ten times and wanted to apply for a licensed bank license, but they were all unsuccessful. The Hong Kong government refused to approve my application. I know that in the final analysis, I still don''t have enough face." "So I want to ask Xia Sheng to buy a stake in my Sun Hung Kai Finance Company, and then help me come forward and obtain a licensed bank license." After speaking, Feng Jingxi looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, with more expectations in his heart. Xia Yu was really surprised. He didn''t expect Feng Jingxi to actually plan to cooperate like this. This was just to worship him. Sun Hung Kai Finance Corp. asked him to buy shares. Even if it was upgraded to a bank, it would still belong to the Jiuding Bank camp, which is equivalent to increasing the influence of Jiuding Bank in disguise. For Xia Yu, this is definitely a good thing with all advantages and no disadvantages, and he has no reason to refuse. Xia Yu smiled slightly and asked: "Feng Sheng, you have to think about it clearly, you are not afraid to lead wolves into the house? But it is crazy outside that Xia Yu is a gluttonous person, and I never get in, or a wolf. What do you see? I want to take a bite." Feng Jingxi laughed and said, "Xia Sheng, I want to make it clear. I am willing to take out 30% of the equity and invite you to buy shares. People outside don¡¯t know the situation so they will spread it indiscriminately. I am not afraid you will eat me. For friends, you wouldn¡¯t do that." Xia Yu glanced at him deeply and smiled: "Understand me, I have always been very friendly to friends." Xia Yu said simply: "Since you have all decided, then it''s okay. I will get the bank license for you. I believe MacLehose will give me this face." Feng Jingxi smiled immediately and said cheerfully: "Then Xia Sheng, it is better to hit the sun if you choose a day. There is still time today. I will transfer the equity to you first." Feng Jingxi is seizing the opportunity to express his attitude and striving to win Xia Yu''s favor. As for whether Xia Yu can be dealt with, Feng Jingxi is completely relieved. In his opinion, in the entire Hong Kong, among all the Chinese, whoever can handle MacLehose is definitely the first to recommend Xia Yu. This is almost a result recognized by all Chinese bigwigs. Not only because Xia Yu is now the strongest consortium in Hong Kong, but also because the outside world has been rumored that Xia Yu is well-connected in the UK and is closely related to the current British ruling party. As an appointed governor, MacLehose is definitely not afraid to fail. Sell ??Xia Yu''s face. Don''t say that the Hong Kong government has not issued a licensed bank license for 20 years, which means that it has not issued a bank license for 40 years or 50 years. In Feng Jingxi''s view, as long as Xia Yu goes out in person, it can be done. When it comes to licensed banks, one has to talk about Heung Kong''s three-tier banking system. The existing Hong Kong local banks were all established before the 1960s. After the 1960s, the Hong Kong government felt that there were too many banks in Hong Kong, which caused the financial market to be very unstable and risky, so it stopped issuing bank licenses. And in 1970, in order to regulate the financial market, a three-level bank management system was formulated, dividing financial companies into three types of financial institutions, namely licensed banks, restricted licensed banks, and deposit-taking companies. Before 1970, there were only purely licensed banks. Among them, Sun Hung Kai Finance Company is the most inferior deposit-taking company. If Xia Yu did not appear, Sun Hung Kai Finance would have to wait until 1982 to obtain a licensed bank license. Sun Hung Kai Bank became a licensed bank and became the first local bank in Hong Kong to be established since the 1960s. But if Xia Yu intervenes, the time will definitely be greatly advanced. Then, Xia Yu and others continued to drink tea and chat, while Feng Jingxi''s subordinates were drafting an equity transfer contract. As for the transfer price, it is easy to negotiate. Although the total assets of Sun Hung Kai Finance are up to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, the money is basically owned by investors. However, Sun Hung Kai Finance is operating very well, so the price is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Jiuding Bank invested 60 million Hong Kong dollars to obtain a 30% stake in Sun Hung Kai Finance. After it was done again, it was already five o''clock in the afternoon. Seeing that it was not too early, Xia Yu picked up the teacup and drank it, and got up to say goodbye. "Feng Sheng, it''s getting late, I''ll go back first. Don''t worry about the license. I will visit MacLehose tomorrow to try to get it done." Feng Jingxi also got up, smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, then I will trouble you." "You''ve just said that, what is trouble? We are partners on the same boat. This is what I should do!" Xia Yu smiled. Feng Jingxi laughed happily, and then said, "Xia Sheng, I''ll give it to you!" After arriving at the door, Xia Yu stopped and shook hands with Feng Jingxi: "Feng Sheng, don''t deliver it. My car is there. I will come back next time I have time." "Okay, see you next time! Good luck!" "Goodbye!" Watching Xia Yu''s black Rolls Royce Phantom leave, Feng Jingxi took a deep breath, a look of expectation appeared on his face. Although he lost 30% of the shares in Sun Hung Kai Finance, Feng Jingxi did not regret it because he knew he could get more. As long as it is upgraded to a licensed bank, the shackles of Sun Hung Kai Bank will be lifted. After wearing the halo of Jiuding Bank, Sun Hung Kai Bank''s business will definitely skyrocket. Although his equity is less, it is more valuable. And more importantly, it will have a strong strengthening effect on his Sun Hung Kai Securities Company. After all, as a securities company, it must be supported by banks. The stronger the bank, the greater the assistance to Sun Hung Kai Securities. Of course, although these two are important, they are not the most important. In Feng Jingxi''s view, getting on Xia Yu''s boat is the most important. Now look at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. The development has been extremely rapid in recent times. Combined with the changes of last year, their strength has become stronger and they have begun to show a trend of widening the gap with other Chinese tycoons. Careful people have carefully analyzed that the root cause of all this is that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are in the same group with Xia Yu. Xia Yu can''t forget both of them if they are good, so they can inexplicably increase their strength. Therefore, the outside world has always been rumored that the best way to succeed in business is to get on the line with the stock **** Xia Yu and get on Xia Yu''s boat. This is the fastest and safest way. Feng Jingxi also knew that Xia Yu''s attitude towards him was not as good as Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang. He also knew the reason, but he had no chance to deepen cooperation with Xia Yu. This time Xia Yu came here, and Feng Jingxi seized the opportunity. Although the outside gossip tabloids reported from time to time that Xia Yu had robbed him of the title of "stock god" and he held a grudge, but this was unwarranted. In his opinion, the reputation of being a strong media champion is nothing more than that. He is not so vain at all, and he is not as good as his strength growth. Smart people will choose this way! ... After going back, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com Xia Yu urged Liu Tianci to put the two shares in place, and then ordered Liu Tianci to come forward and take over Daoheng Bank tomorrow as an absolute controlling shareholder, and convened a general meeting of shareholders to acquire the shares of other shareholders. If it can be acquired peacefully, it is best. If not, it will directly inject capital and dilute it, or even allow other commercial means to be used. In short, Daoheng Bank must become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuding Bank. The next day, Xia Yu visited the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose. This time, MacLehose received Xia Yu solemnly. Obviously, he has figured out the extent of Xia Yu''s influence in the UK. Xia Yu is not arrogant, so MacLehose''s favor is greatly increased. As for Xia Yu''s bank license issue, as he expected, MacLehose readily agreed. Moreover, MacLehose was very decisive. In the afternoon, he asked the Monetary Authority to sign an agreement with Sun Hung Kai Finance Corporation and quickly granted Sun Hung Kai Finance a licensed bank license. Although Feng Jingxi expected success, he didn''t expect the efficiency to be so fast. He was stunned. After being shocked, he also realized that he still underestimated Xia Yu''s influence and became more grateful for his choice. Early the next morning, the major media in Xiangjiang reported the incident. In particular, the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company spent a lot of money to publicize the incident, which shocked the upper level of Xiangjiang. Feng Jingxi did not leave his hand on the phone that day. Can''t close with a smile. The general public also knew about Sun Hung Kai Bank in an instant, and many people looked forward to the day when Sun Hung Kai Bank was officially established to see if there were any opportunities or preferential policies.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 806: Internal monitoring department At the junction of Kowloon and the New Territories, there are green trees and undulating hills, and there is no one at a glance. At this moment, several black Rolls-Royce Phantoms drove out of a curve and galloped toward the east. In the car, it was Xia Yu and others. In the second car, Xia Yu was sitting in the back seat, looking out the window through the black window glass, and quickly passing by big trees, occasionally encountering sections of roads that were not blocked by hills, and overlooking the blue sea. At this time, because Sun Hung Kai Finance Company was issued a licensed bank license by the Hong Kong government, it attracted the attention of the big businessmen in Hong Kong, and it was of course known that Xia Yu had returned to Hong Kong. Before Xia Yu came back, he was very low-key and did not publicize it. Now that I know Xia Yu''s whereabouts, I don''t know how many big guys want to visit Xia Yu, who are close to or familiar with each other. But Xia Yu didn''t have time to pay attention to them, again hiding his whereabouts, and his destination was the training camp of Aegis Security Company. When we reached a bend, a few cars got off the flat road and continued along the bumpy, hidden gravel path into the mountains. After the speed dropped, about five minutes later, the field of vision gradually widened, and the outer appearance of the Aegis security training camp appeared. The entrance is a huge gate, which is seven or eight meters high and eighty-nine meters wide. The pillars are made of reinforced concrete, and there are two huge sealed iron doors in the middle. On both sides of the gate, there are six-meter-high walls that stretch to the end. At this time, the co-pilot door of the first car opened, and Hou Sheng walked down. The person observing in the watch tower recognized Hou Sheng, and then told the guard room to the intercom. Soon, the big iron door slowly opened, and two people came out to verify their identities. After arriving at Xia Yu''s two cars, Xia Yu just rolled down the window. After seeing Xia Yu, the two immediately straightened their waists. Standing at attention, he shouted: "Hello boss!" "Yeah! Well done, just to be so rigorous, keep it up!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction. This is his military base camp. No matter how rigorous it is, it can''t be overstated. Even if there is no such thing, if there is a big problem, the Aegis security brand will be smashed. How can you start the bodyguard business? "Yes!" The two subordinates were refreshed, their faces were red, and they responded loudly. Soon, the car started again, with Hou Sheng leading the way. The car turned left and right, and soon came to a row of houses, the center of which was the most central one with a flagpole in the middle of the doorway, hanging with Aegis security. The company''s flag, red cloth with gold rim, and a thick shield with black gold rim in the middle. On the top of the main entrance on the first floor of the building, there are four characters-Aegis Security! Just after Xia Yu and the others got out of the car, they saw Yan Shining in a black outfit running from a distance, coming to Xia Yu without blushing or breathing. "Boss, I''m sorry to be late, I was training new staff over there just now!" Yan Shining explained. Xia Yu raised his brows and asked, "How many people have been recruited in this batch and where do they come from?" Yan Shining said cherishedly: "This group recruited 300 people, among them, Xiangjiang recruited 150 people, Omen recruited 50 people, and Indonesia recruited 100 people, all of them Chinese.¡± "I have been training for 21 days now." After the report, Yan Shining asked, "Boss, do you want to go over and have a look?" Xia Yu thought for a while and asked again: "Now they are resting?" Yan Shining shook his head and said, "No, my deputy is taking over the supervision and continuing to train." "Then go over and take a look, don''t say anything, just look next to it." Xia Yu said. "Okay, boss, come with me!" After speaking, Yan Shining took Xia Yu to the training ground. The training field is completely a military training field, where various obstacle facilities and exercise equipment are placed. Outside the training ground, Xia Yu saw hundreds of employees wearing black-gray camouflage uniforms and shaved heads sitting in a group push-ups. One person in the front screamed slogans. If the slogans did not sound, the employees could only support it with difficulty. Get accurate. Yan Shining, who was standing next to Xia Yu, explained: ¡°Now they are tempering their willpower and physical stamina. Now our reputation for Aegis security has been spread out, so every time we receive a new wave, the heat is great. This batch of new employees The physique is very good." Xia Yu nodded slightly and thought about it for a while and asked, "Have you checked their identities? Yan Shining said without hesitation: "I have checked it all. Everyone has information within three generations, and the verification is correct. I have always maintained a high degree of vigilance in this regard." "That''s good, this point must not be relaxed, it will cause disaster if you are not careful." Xia Yu looked at Yan Shining with a serious expression, and solemnly exhorted. "I understand!" Yan Shining said, nodding his head. After watching for a while, Xia Yu asked Yan Shining to take the lead and returned to the archives room. He wanted to check all the company''s situation. When Xia Yu came to the archives room, Yan Shining instructed the staff on duty in the archives room to take out the roster of all the employees of the company, and then several cabinets opened, and rows of neatly arranged archive boxes were neatly arranged. Yan Shining moved his finger around and introduced to Xia Yu: "Boss, this is the archives of all the employees of the company. Inside this cabinet are the archives of administrative personnel, and the other cabinets are the archives of bodyguards." Xia Yu drew out a file box casually, took out the files inside to read it. The content of the file is very detailed, including family situation, personal actual situation, social relations, etc. are recorded, of course, there are also the experience of security in Aegis and the experience of performing tasks. When he saw the person on the file marked A-class three stars, Xia Yu raised his brows and asked Yan Shining: "When I looked at it before, there was no star rating. When did you get it out?" The type of bodyguard Xia Yu is clear, and Aegis security was set when it was first established. It is divided into four categories, namely ABCD. Among them, there are three types of A-type bodyguards, with the least number of people. They are: 1. Personal security bodyguards-mainly responsible for personal safety; 2. Personal bodyguard for business safety-in addition to personal safety, it is also responsible for the daily arrangement of simple secretarial work and driving; 3. Housekeeping bodyguards-in addition to being responsible for the personal safety of the family, which includes transporting the children to and from school and the host''s daily communication activities. There are four types of B bodyguards, mainly including regular venue bodyguards, special venue bodyguards, road vehicle bodyguards and venue show bodyguards. Class C bodyguards are aimed at escorting valuables by vehicle bodyguards on the road, and guarding valuables by bodyguards on the field. Class D bodyguards have the lowest grade and are the most common ones. They are long-term resident bodyguards, such as guarding and patrolling special guards in private houses, villas, properties, private clubs, leisure centers and other places. Just like those companies and construction sites of Xia Yu, the guards and guards on duty are basically Class D bodyguards of Aegis Security. Of course, if the points are so detailed, each business has its own merits. Yan Shining smiled at the corner of his mouth and slowly introduced: "Boss, this star rating has been studied for nearly half a year, and it was implemented only two months ago. At that time, you happened to go abroad. The star rating is divided into five stars and other urgent. One star is the lowest and five stars is the highest." "Because I found it out by myself, so I used me as a benchmark. I am positioned as a Class A five-star bodyguard. Only those who are comparable to me can be mentioned in Class A five-star. The salary and benefits of each star are also different. Of course, the cost of appearance is also different, and the level of tasks that employees get is also high!" Then, Xia Yu looked at the roster of all employees and learned about the number of stars. At present, the total number of Aegis security employees has exceeded 1,000, reaching 1,420. They are definitely not a small force. Each has undergone professional training, and the unarmed fighting ability is not bad. The worst A few dozen. However, despite the fact that Aegis has secured so many people, the companies and construction sites under Xia Yu have hired more than 600 people, and the remaining 300 people have to be removed. So now it is counted as Aegis. Security manpower is still quite scarce. Who made Aegis Security to be the only professional bodyguard company in Xiangjiang Omen, and even Southeast Asia? Moreover, he is well-known and has performed many difficult and dangerous tasks, which can be completed every time. It can be said that many rich people are keen to ask Aegis security bodyguards to guard their own safety. One incident happened before. A rich man hired two Aegis security personal bodyguards and encountered retaliation from the society. Then one of the Aegis security bodyguards was left and the other was to protect the rich and escape successfully, and also to protect the rich. Block the knife, not greedy for life or death at all. Afterwards, Aegis Security¡¯s bodyguard was seriously injured. Yan Shining was furious and immediately took action at night and found the place. That night, Aegis Security¡¯s staff slaughtered the Quartet, especially Yan Shining who was even more evil and beaten. The enemy was frightened. Since then, the reputation of Aegis security has spread on the road. Many people are afraid of the bodyguards of Aegis security. This kind of thing has spread to the ears of the rich and famous, and they have hired Aegis security. After coming out of the archives , Xia Yu called Yan Shining to an unmanned office. His expression gradually became solemn, and the latter also refreshed, knowing that Xia Yu has important things. Bid him. "Brother Yan, this time, I have a secret task to give you, you must complete it with all your strength!" Xia Yu said solemnly. Yan Shining nodded and promised with a serious face: "Boss, don''t worry, I will do my best to do anything about you, and I will never disappoint you!" "Ok!" "Now that my career is big, I have already caught the eyes of many evil wolves. Now someone must have penetrated into my career. I need you to help me find these people out!" "And in order to prevent a steady stream of problems in the future, I need a dedicated department to secretly monitor internally." Hearing this, Yan Shining''s eyes stared slightly, and the word "Jin Yiwei" flashed in his mind. It''s just that he immediately thought of the snare that Ma Qianjun now controls. Yan Shining frowned and asked hesitantly, "Boss, this... isn''t there a snare?" Xia Yu shook his head blankly and said: "It''s not the same. There is a specialization in the surgical industry. There must be a special part responsible for things like this. The net is external, and I am now a department that needs internal monitoring." Seeing Xia Yu''s deep gaze, Yan Shining immediately thought of a possibility in his mind, and suddenly woke up, regretting that he had spoken too much. As far as Yan Shining knows, the power of the snare has spread throughout Southeast Asia. Australia, the United Kingdom, the island countries, the United States and other places have strongholds. It can be said that the power is getting bigger and bigger. If Luo Wang were given the authority to supervise and investigate internally, it would be too much, and no controller would be assured. PS: Calvin, a headache! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 807: Dark guards and armed And some things really need to be subdivided in order to be able to do better, the authority is clear, and the strength can be used to achieve better results. For example, in the United States, the intelligence agencies are separated from the three powers. The Central Intelligence Agency (cia) externally is responsible for finding targets that may threaten the United States; internally, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (fbi) is responsible for the detection and intelligence collection of some criminal cases in the United States, which is equivalent to a high-level policeman. . The National Security Agency (nsa), which is responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communications data, belongs to the US Department of Defense. "Brother Yan, is there any problem?" Seeing that Yan Shining was distracted, Xia Yu raised his brow slightly and asked. Yan Shining''s body shook slightly, looked at Xia Yu''s burning gaze, and thought for a while and said: "Boss, you arranged for me to go all out, but I don''t know if I can make a small comment?" Xia Yu said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, what can''t you say between you and me?" Yan Shining nodded and thought about it for a while and solemnly said: "Boss, after having been with you for so long, I have grown a lot, so I can clearly recognize my strengths and weaknesses." "It can be said that my strengths are in personnel training and personal comprehensive ability. Although I have the ability in intelligence collection, it is not particularly outstanding. It can only be regarded as excellent. I may not be perfectly qualified for this work." "The importance of the department that monitors your business is undoubtedly important, but Aegis Security has involved too much energy on my part, so my suggestion is whether someone else can be directly responsible for you. I will play a supporting role here. Anyone arbitrarily transferred, I will try my best to solve any difficulties." After finishing speaking, Yan Shi looked at Xia Yu quietly, but his heart was slightly disturbed. I don''t know why, Xia Yu''s eyes are as deep as a starry sky, making him a little hairy. For a long time, Xia Yu shook his head and chuckled: "Big Brother Yan, you are really right. You really have grown a lot. Before you were so careful, can I still believe you?" Yan Shining smiled awkwardly and said, "I know that the boss believes in me, and I will never disappoint your expectations and trust." Having said that, his meaning remained the same. Obviously, he didn''t want to touch this department, mainly to avoid suspicion, but also to reassure Xia Yu. As he considered before, Xia Yu didn''t want the net controlled by Ma Qianjun to be responsible for this, so now he is in charge of the armed forces on Xia Yuming''s face. There are already more than a thousand people, and all of them are elites, and they are still getting stronger. It is definitely a very powerful force. If you have the ability to monitor Xia Yu''s businesses and master an intelligence force, then this right will be passed. For Xia Yu''s good, and for his own good, the best way is to cut this possibility at the beginning. Hearing Yan Shining say this, Xia Yu was deeply moved, but took a high look at Yan Shining. Yan Shining was able to take these into consideration, indicating that his IQ and EQ were not low, and he was loyal to him. Both loyal and capable, Yan Shining can help him more, okay! "Since you say that, then I won''t force people to lock men o(¡õ)o." Speaking of this, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked Yan Shining, "What is the situation with Hou Sheng and Zhang Zhi now?" These two people were both Yan Shining''s old men, but they left a deep impression on Xia Yu and were Xia Yu''s alternate candidates. Among them, Hou Sheng is a scout, and he is very sensitive to intelligence and abnormal information. Although the previous exercises were military intelligence investigation, the key to this aspect is talent, and it can also be used by analogy. As for Zhang Zhi, he is definitely a fox. Xia Yu knows very well that in Aegis security, it is impossible to say who has the highest IQ, but it is not Zhang Zhi who has the most ideas, will judge the situation and evaluate the situation most. It must be. This kind of person is properly the type of a koo-headed soldier, and he is a smart person. An intelligence department must have such a person. Hou Sheng and Zhang Zhi¡¯s chance is here! Yan Shining immediately said: "Boss, Hou Sheng is now an instructor in employee intelligence training, and he is also in charge of the head of the C-type bodyguard department. He has not fallen behind in intelligence. Now he is reading intelligence books every day. The intelligence ability is definitely the strongest. Thanks to Manager Gavin Peter, who helped the world collect relevant books and translate them into Chinese." "Zhang Zhi is the head of the company''s personnel department and concurrently the head of the political department. He is responsible for the loyalty education of the entire company''s employees and solves ideological problems. He has done a good job in this regard." "I personally think that if the two of them work together, one is inside and the other is outside, they should work well together." Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded slightly. Ideological work is the most difficult to do, because people''s hearts are unpredictable, and people who can usually do ideological work are absolutely not bad. Furthermore, Zhang Zhi is the Minister of Personnel. He should be very clear about the abilities of a person. After a long period of exercise, the ability to know people will always improve. Moreover, Zhang Zhi is also responsible for loyalty education. It is his brainwashing expert, and what the intelligence department needs most is loyalty. As for Hou Sheng, Yan Shining''s introduction was enough, and he knew almost the same. Thinking of this, Xia Yu told Yan Shining: "Go and call them both." "Yes!" Yan Shining responded and immediately got up and went out. Hou Sheng happened to be outside, so he came in about half a minute. Seeing Hou Sheng who was puzzled, Xia Yu just asked him to sit down and wait, and then waited until he got up. Five minutes later, Yan Shining returned with Zhang Zhi and asked, "Boss, do I want to go out?" "What are you going out to do, lock the door!" Xia Yu ordered. Looking at the three sitting in front in a row, Xia Yu looked directly at Zhang Zhi and Hou Sheng, and said with a smile: "Hou Sheng, Zhang Zhi, have been in Xiangjiang for two years, how are you feeling?" Hou Sheng immediately said gratefully: "Boss, I have a good time. Thanks to you, my family is here. My child has also attended aristocratic school. I feel that this life is worth it. You are our family benefactor!" Zhang Zhi also looked grateful and said with emotion: "Boss, my whole family has followed me to live a good life. My parents have nothing to worry about. You also arranged for them to see a doctor. My wife is smiling every day. My son and My daughter goes to aristocratic school, and she can also learn piano and painting. This is something that I didn''t even dare to think about before. Thanks to you!" Xia Yu smiled openly and said, "It''s okay to have a good time. Since you have followed me, you can drink soup if you have a bite of meat." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu smiled, and his face solemnly said: "I call you this time, there is a very important task for you, I hope you don''t let me down!" Hou Sheng and Zhang Zhi raised their heads subconsciously, and answered one after another: "Boss, what you ordered, I will definitely go all out!" "Boss, even if I fight this life, I will complete the task!" Xia Yu was very satisfied with the attitudes of the two of them. He could feel that their attitudes were definitely from the heart. "Very good!" "My career is bigger..." Then, Xia Yu repeated what he had said to Yan Shining. Hou Sheng and Zhang Zhi immediately knew what Xia Yu meant. They were agitated and felt pressure. "The name of this department is the Dark Guard. You two have equal status. Hou Sheng, you are in charge of external and action, and Zhang Zhi is in charge of you. I hope you will work together and cooperate perfectly to create a strong shield for the innermost layer of my foundation. And the blade!" Hou Sheng and Zhang Zhi looked at each other, their hearts gradually boiled, and they responded in unison: "Yes! Guarantee to complete the task!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and continued to say to the two of them: "I told Yan Shining that the Dark Guard needs anyone and can be drawn from Aegis security. Anyway, if you want to tell me directly, I have both hardware and software. Unconditional support, you will make every effort to build the dark guard for me." "Remember, this thing must be silent, I don''t want other companies'' hearts to float!" "If you dare to use power for personal gain, then I can also slay the horse with tears!" At the end of the talk, Xia Yu''s eyes became extremely cold and stern, his eyes were like a knife, and he looked directly at the two. Zhang Zhi¡¯s favorite thing to watch is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he naturally understands what Xia Yu means. He was stunned, and he nodded his head and promised: "Don''t worry, boss, I guarantee the life of the whole family, if I betray you, you are at your disposal!" Hou Sheng is also resolute, and Keng will forcefully say: "Boss, you are my second-born parent. I, Hou Sheng, are no longer a human being and will not have any bad thoughts. In the days to come, you are optimistic! " At this time, Yan Shining, who had been quiet, said in a deep voice, "Hou Sheng, Zhang Zhi, don¡¯t think you are flying. I will always pay attention to you. If I find out that it¡¯s not good If you¡¯re on the lookout, then you don¡¯t need to order from the boss, I will never let you go!" "Squad leader, don''t worry..." ¡­¡­ Seeing a few people want to continue talking Xia Yu interrupted them directly. "Okay, I know your attitude, and I believe you too, otherwise I won''t select the two of you from the company''s more than 1,000 people to be responsible, don''t let me down!" "Understand!" After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu chatted with the two more details, spending more than an hour back and forth. After ¡¡¡¡ sent them away, Xia Yu and Yan Shining were left in the office. Xia Yuyu said earnestly: "Brother Yan, the foundation of Aegis security in Xiangjiang and Omen has been firmly established, and it is time to go out." "After all, this training base is too obtrusive. It is not a long-term solution, and the conditions are limited. Many items cannot be trained in depth, especially in terms of weapons. The restrictions here are too large and absolutely not in the long run!" "There are many islands in Southeast Asia, and there are many virgin forests. You build a few training bases over there. I will be responsible for weapons. I don''t want to commit crimes, but I must have enough self-protection!" "Otherwise I will only be slaughtered!" "Whether my summer family can prosper, your side is the key!" Yan Shining took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Boss, rest assured, I will act immediately!" Xia Yu said softly: "Well, Big Brother Yan, I only trust you, please feel free to mention any difficulties." "I know, you will be welcome!" ¡­¡­ v3 Chapter 808: Was monitored? Then do it! After returning from Aegis Security, Xia Yu went to Xiangjiang Chinese University to receive He Chaoqiong who had skipped classes and accompanied her to go shopping and eat food. He Chaoqiong''s melancholy mood was wiped out. In the evening, Xia Yu did not return to the Xia Mansion, but took Li Qian back to her villa. After all, many things were not very convenient to do at home. The next morning, after Xia Yu finished punching, he was still full of energy, and it was after nine o''clock again that he was refreshed to go to the company. At this moment, the phone in the living room rang, and Xia Yu answered it. "Hey, this is Xia Yu!" "Shusha..." Xia Yu originally looked relaxed, but he suddenly noticed something wrong with his keen observation. It was useless for more than two months. The phone signal seemed to be bad and there were some abnormal noises. His expression condensed, and his heart suddenly became alert, and silently interrupted what Wang Qi wanted to say on the phone, and said, "Okay, the car has started, I should go, and I will talk about it after the company!" "Patter!" After speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap. After hanging up, Xia Yu looked out the wall along the phone line, and a haze flashed in his eyes. "Cici, you have a good rest at home, I have something else, and I will come back for dinner at noon." He got up and went to the room, pulled the quilt to the limp Li Qian, lowered her head and whispered in her ear. Li Qian woke up and said in a daze, "Okay dear! I will cook dinner at noon and wait for you to come back." "Well, then you continue to sleep, I''m leaving now!" "be careful!" ... After getting on the bus, Xia Yu did not go to Jiuding Securities Company, but went directly to a 7-11 convenience store in Kowloon, and walked along the alley to a private house at the back door of the convenience store. Although there are a lot of private houses in the small alley, there are not many people living in it. Even if someone poked their heads out, they just took a glance at Xia Yu and took it back naturally without saying hello to Xia Yu. These people are all members of the Raft. This is one of the strongholds of the Raft. Although they all know Xia Yu, they all play their own roles just in case. When Xia Yu walked in, Ma Qianjun also came down the stairs, asking Xia Yu to enter the inner hall and sit down. "Boss, what''s your order?" After sitting down, Ma Qianjun looked at Xia Yu calmly and asked. Looking at the indifferent brother-in-law in front of him, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "I suspect that my phone has been monitored by someone, please check it out for me!" The calm face of Ma Qianjun''s eyes became sharp instantly, and he said: "All telephone lines are checked once a week, and random checks are performed from time to time. The last check was four days ago, and no abnormalities were found before!" Hearing what Ma Qianjun said, Xia Yu was relieved, at least the worst hadn''t happened, after all, there were too many secrets in his conversation. In the past few days, he has basically arranged tasks with his subordinates face to face, and the phone has not said anything secret. "Check it again now to see where the problem is! Temporarily I found that there was a problem with the one in Cici Villa." Xia Yu ordered. Hearing that there was a problem with the phone in his sister''s villa, Ma Qianjun suddenly exploded with suffocation, apparently touching his negative scales. He nodded suddenly and responded coldly: "Don''t worry, boss, I will definitely find out what the problem is today!" Just when Ma Qianjun wanted to act, Xia Yu suddenly said quietly: "Wait, if you find out where the problem is, let it go. I will arrange for the reporter to go there." Ma Qianjun''s eyes became deep, knowing that Xia Yu was calculating people again, and he felt a lot more cheerful, nodded and said, "I understand!" Later, Xia Yu left, walked out of the 7-11 convenience store and took a bus to Jiuding Securities Company. After Xia Yu left, Ma Qianjun summoned some subordinates to quickly investigate all telephone lines involved in Xia Yu''s company. ... After coming to Jiuding Securities to meet Wang Qi, Xia Yu quickly handled a few urgent matters, and asked Wang Qi to bring the information booklet of the Xiangjiang listed company, and then quietly read it in the office. This information booklet is compiled internally by the Jiuding Consortium and is a top-secret version. It is jointly compiled by companies and institutions such as Jiuding Securities Company, Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding Bank, and Jiuding Think Tank Commercial Research Institute. It can be said to have the most comprehensive commercial data for Xiangjiang. . This information is infinite in absolute value in the hands of the boss! When Wang Qi returned to the office again, Xia Yu had already found the information he was looking for. Dadong Telegraph Bureau Hong Kong Co., Ltd. and Hong Kong Telephone Company! These two are the only two telecommunications companies in HeungKong today, so the information is categorized into two pages. Among them, the market value of HeungKong Telephone Company is higher. It is a monopoly in HeungKong''s local telecommunications industry. Founded in 1925, it has been listed for a long time, and in 1975 it again obtained the franchise of HeungKong''s local telecommunications for 20 years. Now the company''s total assets are 14 points. 800 million Hong Kong dollars, with a market value of 770 million Hong Kong dollars. HeungKong Telephone Company was granted the franchise right to operate the public telephone network in HeungKong, with more than two million telephone lines in operation, serving several million people in HeungKong. The Dadong Telegraph Bureau Hong Kong Co., Ltd. is a branch of the British Dadong Telegraph Bureau. The parent company was established in 1872, while the Hong Kong branch was established in 1936 and has been listed independently. Now the company¡¯s total assets are at 9 o¡¯clock. Around 700 million Hong Kong dollars, with a market value of 520 million Hong Kong dollars. The current competitive relationship between Dadong Telegraph Heung Kong Co., Ltd. and Heung Kong Telephone Company is not strong. The reason is that the Hong Kong government has granted Dadong Telegraph Heung Kong Co., Ltd. the franchise right in the field of international telecommunications. The telecommunications business is under its responsibility. It can be said that there is a clear distinction in the basic telecommunications business. Of course, with the changes of the times, the market has already changed, so there is still a competitive relationship, such as fax and data transmission equipment and services. These services are not included in the franchise, but are closely related to the telecommunications industry. The two compete fiercely in these areas. Although the two companies have a competitive relationship, they also exercise restraint, not only because they are both listed companies, but also because the two companies have the same shareholder, that is, the Hong Kong government. As a regulator, the Hong Kong government does not participate in operations, but has the power to supervise, so it holds 20% of the shares of the two companies. "Chairman, are you planning to enter the telecommunications industry?" Seeing Xia Yu pushing the information away, Wang Qi asked softly. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, with this plan, the telecommunications industry is completely monopolized by the British, and there are always risks. These days, secret things have been told face to face." Wang Qi''s heart shuddered, and the unusual behavior of Xia Yu calling him in the morning appeared in his mind, and he blurted out: "Chairman, do you mean our phone calls were monitored?" Xia Yu glanced at him, motioned for him to sit down, and said: "Okay, don''t worry, it just appeared in the past few days, I have sent someone to solve it." Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "That''s good." It''s just that he still has some palpitations in his heart. Fortunately, Chairman Xia Yu found out early, otherwise it would really happen. After all, the financial industry is changing rapidly, and an intelligence weakness can lead to disaster. If an important plan is spoken on the phone, and it is monitored by the enemy, it is very likely that the plan will fail and cause huge losses. "Chairman, why don''t we launch a communications satellite ourselves and use fixed satellite phones to prevent eavesdropping." Wang Qi thought for a while and suggested. Since both Global Television and Jiuding News have launched satellites, it is not difficult for Wang Qi to launch satellites. The safety of calls is the most important, far exceeding the value of launching satellites. Xia Yu also had this plan. Communication satellites have been in use for decades. In 1964, countries around the world jointly established a commercial satellite temporary organization, and in 1973 it was renamed the International Communication Satellite Autonomous Agency. Although Jiuding Newspaper Company and Global TV Station also have communication satellites, Xia Yu does not intend to use the satellites of these two companies for communication purposes. After all, there are risks. Anyway, he didn''t need money, so he simply launched a few communication satellites for internal use by the Jiuding Consortium. Although resources would definitely be wasted, Xia Yu didn''t care, and safety was the most important thing! Of course, the launch of communication satellites is a later issue, and now the issue of the Xiangjiang communications industry must be resolved. Although the current growth rate of Xiangjiang''s communications industry is not ideal , Xia Yu looks at the future. Before the opening of the mobile communications market, Xiangjiang was limited by demographic factors, and the fixed-line market was not large, but as long as the mobile communications market opens, it will usher in a big explosion! In addition, the communications industry can be said to be an important industry involving people''s livelihood. Although Dadong Telegraph Bureau Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Telephone Company are both Shanghai companies, the actual controllers are British-owned. It can be said that the telecommunications industry is completely controlled by British capital, and Chinese capital also holds some public shares at most. Xia Yu didn''t want to get involved in the telecommunications industry so quickly, but he just returned to Xiangjiang when something like this happened. How could he not be annoyed? Whether it was the Rothschild family or other consortia and organizations, Xia Yu attributed the crime to the telecommunication company. As long as the telecommunications company is under control, the telephone lines in Hong Kong will be monitored by him. Not to mention calculating others, at least he can ensure the security of his own communication. v3 Chapter 809: Manipulate and short "Wang Qi, secretly short the stocks of these two companies, monitor phone calls, and violate user privacy. Whether they know it or not, they have to pay the price!" Xia Yu looked straight, and ordered Wang Qi. Wang Qi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Chairman, did you work on these two companies at the same time?" Xia Yu said frankly: "Yes, there are only two companies, and the combined market value is only more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. If you want to do it, you will do it together, and then buy at the bottom of the trough." Wang Qi came up with more doubts and raised questions and said: "Chairman, the equity of HeungKong Telephone Company is basically in the hands of the British political and business families, but there is a chance to buy it, but Dadong Telegraph Company HeungKong Co., Ltd. is listed, But the controlling stake is in the hands of its parent company, and Dadong Telegraph is a British state-owned enterprise, so the prospect of this acquisition is slim." Xia Yu nodded slightly. What Wang Qi mentioned was indeed a problem. Although the Dadong Telegraph Bureau is now declining, it is still a large state-owned telecommunications company in the UK. Although the Great Eastern Telegraph Bureau currently does not have any telecommunications business in the United Kingdom, it is almost the hegemon of the telecommunications industry in the member states of the Commonwealth and the places previously ruled by the United Kingdom. After the First World War, the territory of the United Kingdom once accounted for a quarter of the earth''s area, and the Great East Telegraph Office was the communications hub of the United Kingdom. When the Second World War broke out, the Dadong Telegraph Bureau was also responsible for battlefield communications and sabotage of enemy communications. But now Xia Yu already knows that Margaret Thatcher''s cabinet is planning to privatize the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, but it has not yet implemented it. According to the original history, the telecommunications industry did not start until 1981, and the Dadong Telegraph Bureau was also privatized. At that time, it was unrealistic to want to win the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, after all, too many people were staring at it. However, there is still a good chance to spin off the Xiangjiang branch of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau. Maybe the operation is good, and more branches can be separated. Now if we can get a part of the equity, we will be laying the groundwork in advance. As for the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, just do it directly. In the eyes of the British, Xia Yu is a financial bandit, so it doesn''t matter if it gets darker, the most important thing is to achieve the goal. Thinking of this, Xia Yu directly made a decision and said: "You will implement according to the plan. If the problem you encounter cannot be solved, please come to me for advice." Now that the chairman has said so, what else is there to say? Wang Qi immediately replied: "Yes!" "Then Chairman, if there is nothing more to do, I will arrange it now." "Go, plan to be careful!" "understand!" ... About noon, when Xia Yu had just finished eating with Li Qian at home, he heard the doorbell ring. Through the cat''s eyes, it was Ma Qianjun. Xia Yu directly opened the door to let him in. "Brother, have you eaten yet? We just finished eating, and the food is still hot, let me heat it up for you." Seeing Ma Qianjun coming in, Li Qian, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up happily and asked with concern. Ma Qianjun''s cold expression was instantly glorious, and he smiled softly and said, "No, I''ve already eaten it." Li Qian said softly, and poured another cup of tea for Ma Qianjun, and put it in front of Ma Qianjun who was sitting on the sofa: "Brother, then you drink drool." "Good! Good..." Ma Qianjun smiled and said again and again. Seeing Ma Qianjun''s smile, Xia Yu said jokingly: "My brother-in-law, it''s so good for you to smile, and it''s so boring all day long." Ma Qianjun''s smile suddenly stiffened, and suddenly he heard his sister Li Qian''s words: "Yes, brother, A Yu is right, you have to smile more, I hope you are a little happier." Ma Qianjun''s face eased, and he nodded, feeling a little in his heart, obviously listening to Li Qian''s words. After taking a sip of tea and clearing up his mood, Ma Qianjun said to Xia Yu: "I have found out where the problem is, and the listening device interface has been found, but according to your request, I just asked someone to mark it. Staring remotely." Although guessing that there are nine out of ten, but confirming that it was really monitored, Xia Yu still felt annoyed. Xia Yu wanted to directly let the reporters and newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. wrap the matter, but instantly felt wrong. Eavesdropping on his phone, he goes short again, and then he will have to launch an acquisition. "Yes!" After another thought, a small plan appeared in Xia Yu''s mind. He looked at Ma Qianjun and asked: "Does Luowang have any monitors? Get a few more phone lines for me, and install the bugs, the phone lines of the Hong Kong government, the phone lines of the Shi Yahuai family, the phone lines of the Li family of the Bank of East Asia, etc. Put them on for me." The big guys are all monitored, and things will definitely become a big deal. As long as the media exposes it and the evidence is solid, it is definitely yellow mud off the crotch, not **** or shit. Especially if MacLehose''s phone calls are also monitored, then MacLehose will take action whether it is really angry or to protect the dignity of the Hong Kong government, which will definitely aggravate the plunge in the stock prices of the two telecommunications companies. Ma Qianjun nodded and said, "Yes, and it happens to have that one. You make a detailed list and I will arrange for someone to install it." "it is good!" After speaking, Xia Yu opened the drawer of the tea table, took out a notebook and pen, and started writing while thinking. After a while, more than a dozen names appeared on it. Xia Yu tore it off and handed it to Ma Qianjun. Ma Qianjun scanned the paper for a while before folding the paper and storing it next to him. Tomorrow morning, I will let everyone install it! " "Well, tomorrow day I will let someone go to the license plate to stay." ... The day after tomorrow, "Tiantian Daily" was on sale as usual. Many readers bought the newspaper to read as usual, but saw the breaking news on the cover, a contribution from an anonymous enthusiastic citizen. It turned out that it was a citizen who got up at night and urinates at night. He happened to see a figure on the opposite road doing some sneaky things through the car window. After the figure disappeared, he couldn''t bear to look at it with curiosity and was accidentally discovered. After the telephone line was thicker and showed signs of being cut and reattached, he tore off the seal and took out a small machine from the inside. It was verified by an authoritative organization that it was a miniature telephone signal monitor. Here comes the point. That telephone line is the one leading to the first Li of Hong Kong and Li''s of the Bank of East Asia. This morning, as the "Tiantian Daily" continued to be sold, more and more people learned about this hot news, and it was spread ten by one, and the more it was spread, the more outrageous it became. However, no matter how it was spread, the most beneficiary was "Tiantian Daily". The telephones of major newsagents and bookstores constantly urged the delivery staff to arrange for the additional distribution of "Tiantian Daily How the Li family was furious. , More and more media began to frantically intervene in targeted investigations to find more clues and win over the influence of hot news. Sure enough, some media received contributions from "enthusiastic citizens." So in the morning of another day, the major newspapers reported similar news one after another, and the telephone lines of many big brothers were monitored. These news were irritating. In particular, a piece of news in the "Fengyun Daily" pointed out that even the office of Governor MacLehose had been monitored, which was like a bomb dropped into an already boiling oil pot. No matter which newspaper it is, two telecommunications companies are mentioned frantically. Affected by this, the share prices of the two companies fell like an avalanche. Wang Qi, who had been waiting for a long time, gave an order and a huge amount of stocks went out, which once again exacerbated the plunge in the stock prices of the two telecommunication companies. () v3 Chapter 810: Launch an acquisition Before the day before yesterday, "Tian Tian Daily" exposed the situation of telephone monitoring, the stock price of HeungKong Telephone Company was very stable, fluctuating around 35 Hong Kong dollars, and its market value was stable at 770 million Hong Kong dollars, showing a long-term steady upward trend. The Dadong Telegraph Bureau Hong Kong Co., Ltd., because of its larger share capital and lower unit price, fluctuates around 10.4 Hong Kong dollars, with a market value of 520 million Hong Kong dollars. However, as various monitoring events have been exposed one after another in the past two days, and the objects being monitored are all political and business leaders, this caused a sensation! The two only telecommunications companies have naturally become targets of fire. They not only have to accept the attention and condemnation from public opinion, but more importantly, they have to withstand the impact of the capital market. Major investment companies have downgraded the ratings of the two companies, and then began to sell their holdings, trying to escape before the avalanche. This in turn caused the stock price to collapse more quickly, and made small and medium investors panic and follow suit. Although the management of HeungKong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph Company HeungKong Co., Ltd. tried their best to clarify the relationship, they could not stop the stock price from falling. Because everyone knows that monitoring events are extraordinary, and the objects are all bigwigs, so they won''t be closed easily. Therefore, in just two days, the share prices of the two telecommunications companies plummeted by more than 30%. Hong Kong Telephone Company fell to 24 Hong Kong dollars per share, while Dadong Telegraph Company Hong Kong Co., Ltd. fell below its share price of 7 Yuan per share! At this moment, another even more powerful news came out. The stock **** Xia Yu spoke through Jiuding Securities Company, and found that the company and the phone at home were also monitored through self-examination, which caused him a huge loss, which must be borne by someone! As soon as this remark came out, the capital market shook everyone realized that things were bigger, and immediately projected their sights on the stock market. Sure enough, the decline in the stock prices of the two telecommunications companies accelerated several times. The financial institutions that were thinking about fishing in troubled waters immediately shrank their hands and chose to wait and see wisely. If the stock market brother "Jiuding Securities" wants to show off, he still has to save his face and losses for the big man Xia Yu. This determination is undoubted, and it is impossible to hit the gun at this time. The big guys can spend money for the sake of face, but they don''t have the capital to fight, and there is no need to fight meaninglessly to provoke a commotion. ... In the midst of the disturbances, in an old castle in London, after listening to the reports of his subordinates, Jacob Rosier was silent for a long time without expression. "Jacob, I didn''t expect this to happen. It seems we are out of luck." Evelyn Roshir, who was sitting aside, shook his head and sighed, deeply sorry. Jacob Rohill returned to his senses and said thoughtfully: "No, Evelyn, don''t you think this incident is too coincidental?" "We just acted for a few days before something went wrong. Although the first person who was monitoring was discovered, it was the "Tiantian Daily" owned by Jiuding News Company that was first exposed." Evelyn Rohill was taken aback, then fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly nodded and said, "What you said is correct, it is indeed too coincidental. Could it be that he found something? Our people left after installing the monitor and did not go back to look at it from a distance. Xia Yu would not guess it was us." Jacob Rohill shook his head and said, "It''s not necessarily, but it''s useless to guess here, things are already so bad." "Although it''s a bit regretful, let''s forget about it. Xia Yu is already vigilant. Xiangjiang is his base camp. We don''t have any advantage either on the surface or in the dark." Evelyn Lowhill also agreed with Jacob Lowhill¡¯s decision, except that he thought about the two telecommunications companies reported by his subordinates just now, and he said: ¡°Jacob, it¡¯s obvious now that Jiuding Securities Is targeting two telecommunications companies, it seems that he wants to eat them." "It''s more difficult for us to intervene in Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but Dadong Telegraph Bureau, we can still influence it, do we need to intervene?" Jacob Rohill thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us. Just treat it as ignorance. If his strength increases, it will increase. Anyway, the two telecommunications companies of Xiangjiang are affected. Limited to market reasons, the revenue capacity is average, and the enhancement to him is only limited to Xiangjiang." "What''s more, Xia Yu is not without contacts in the UK. There is still a risk of leakage if we do something, it is unnecessary." "Well, it seems that he can only sit back and watch his strength increase again..." Evelyn Roshir sighed, then got up and walked outside. Jacob Rohill glanced at the documents on the desk at hand, shook his head after retracting his gaze, and then got up and left. Now that things have gone horribly wrong, there is no need to resemble them anymore, and spend the limited time on helping the Roshir family rise again. ... Xiangjiang Governor''s Mansion, Governor''s Office. MacLehose sat at the desk expressionlessly, with his hands folded and his elbows on the table, listening to the secretary''s report slightly. "... Now a large number of reporters have gathered outside the Hong Kong government, and many people are arguing outside the government, calling on the Hong Kong government to punish the two companies and protect the privacy of the people. That''s how it happened." MacLehose nodded slightly, thought for a long time, picked up the phone to dial the number, but suddenly stiffened, and then put the microphone down again. Xia Yu, who was standing at MacLehose''s table, raised his brows and realized that his boss was still annoyed that he was being monitored. Sure enough, then he heard MacLehose''s order: "Go and notify the Press and Publication Administration, the Audit Department, and the Legal Department to come to my office." The subordinate immediately agreed, and then left quickly. An hour later, the Hong Kong government summoned all the reporters at the door into the press conference hall. The high-level officials of the Hong Kong government, headed by MacLehose, sat on the press platform. "Quiet, we will hold an emergency press conference on the relevant issues of the Xiangjiang Telecommunications industry. Questions should be answered in order. If the order of the venue is disrupted, please leave!" After a cadre at the far end of the press station finished speaking, the noisy venue immediately quieted down. "Okay, this reporter, please ask questions!" The reporter named in the first row was a reporter from Fengyun Daily. He was a middle-aged man. He immediately got up and asked sharply: "Dear Governor, the Governor''s Office serves as the Hong Kong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph. Shareholders and supervisors of the Bureau of Hong Kong Co., Ltd. Now that the two companies have problems, they even monitor your office phone calls. I don¡¯t know what you think about this?" Good guy, this kind of problem caused MacLehose to feel tight. But with so many reporters in front of him, MacLehose suppressed his unhappiness, his face was stern, and he said righteously: "First of all, on behalf of the Hong Kong government, I apologize to all the people in Hong Kong, because the government''s ineffective supervision has led to For such a big problem, the Hong Kong government has the responsibility and obligation to bear corresponding responsibilities." "Privacy is a right owned by everyone. After the press conference, the Hong Kong government will arrange for the Audit Department, the Legal Department, the Department of Industry and Trade and other departments to investigate the two telecommunications companies involved." "Next person!" "Mr. Governor..." ... An urgent press conference lasted for more than 30 minutes When the press conference ended, the investigation team of the Hong Kong government also officially set off, stationed in the two companies separately, and carried out extremely strict inspections. The two companies suddenly panic. The major reporters also announced the content of the press conference, mainly the attitude of the Hong Kong government, and the news was immediately spread throughout the Xiangjiang River under the special interruption of Global Television. Such unfavorable factors have caused the share prices of HeungKong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph Company HeungKong Co., Ltd. to fall further. When the attention of public opinion was attracted, Wang Qi was already sitting in Roland''s Kadoorie''s office. Looking at the 81-year-old, gray-haired British man in front of him, Wang Qi went straight to the subject and said: "Mr. Kadoorie, you must know the purpose of my visit this time. I hope to acquire the Xiangjiang Telephone Company held by your family. Equity." () v3 Chapter 811: Unrealistic fantasy Although Rolandz Kadoorie was over eighty years old, his eyes were not cloudy, and they were still clear and bright. As the third largest shareholder of HeungKong Telephone Company, the Kadoorie family naturally expressed concern about what happened in the past two days. The matter has already happened, and it is no longer useful to pursue the cause. The point is that now the stock **** Xia Yu has already released words to recover the loss, Roland Kadoorie cannot ignore it. Anyway, according to Roland''s Kadoorie''s attitude, it is to try not to provoke Xia Yu. However, although the Kadoorie family is in Kowloon like Xia Yu, they have nothing to do with Xia Yu, and because of the rigid or even hostile relationship between Xia Yu and the British capital, the Kadoorie family has no chance. Later, because the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel in Kowloon Harbour City is in competition with The Peninsula Hotel, and the Hongkong Electric Company is also in competition with China Light & Power Company, Roland Kadoorie directly abandoned his original positive attitude towards Xia Yu. , Subconsciously regarded Xia Yu as an opponent. Therefore, facing Wang Qi who came to the door, Roland Kadoorie was not enthusiastic, and said indifferently: "Mr. Wang Qi, the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company can be sold, but the price must be right. We bought shares at a high price. Maybe let us make a difference, right?" Wang Qi flashed his eyes and smiled and retorted: "No, Mr. Kadoorie, investment is risky. There is a profit and there is a loss. For example, it is normal for Xiangjiang Telephone Company to encounter market resistance. " "The Kadoorie family holds 3.16 million shares of Heung Kong Telephone Company. The stock price before I came was 17.2 yuan per share, and according to the current downward trend, it is estimated that the stock price has fallen below 17. I also understand your difficulty, so we are willing to bid 17 yuan a share to take over." In Wang Qi''s opinion, this price is very high, and it definitely gives Roland Kadoorie face. But when Roland Kadoorie heard it, his face suddenly pulled down, and he shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang Qi, you are so insincere. A few days ago, the stock price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company was still 35 yuan. Half of it didn''t show up." "You and I know that as a monopoly in the telecommunications industry, HeungKong Telephone Company has the exclusive right to operate HeungKong''s local telecommunications company. There is definitely no problem in revenue. No matter how the citizens are making noise, they still have to use it. The impact on revenue is not significant. Even if the stock price is low now, it will rebound back in the future." "If you came to buy a few days ago, then I would at least offer a 30% premium on the basis of 35 yuan per share." "Now I can only accept the price of 35 yuan per share, I will never sell it if it is lower!" This time, it was Wang Qi''s turn to look bad, and his eyes fixed on Roland Kadoorie. The latter looked at Wang Qi calmly, obviously his words were his true thoughts. Wang Qi couldn''t help but want to laugh. In this situation, Roland Kadoorie is still talking to him about the future of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, calling such a high price and making it clear that he does not want to sell. The spread has more than doubled, and no matter how much we talk about it, it will talk about the stock price of the top 20. Think about the stock price and the downward trend of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. If Wang Qi bought it at a stock price of more than 20, he would not be credited, and he would lose the face of Chairman Xia Yu. Therefore, Wang Qi said with a solemn expression and resolutely said, "Mr. Kadoorie, this is an unreasonable request. If you say so, then any investment of the Kadoorie family will not lose money. Do you think this is realistic?" Roland Kadoorie was innocent, and said, "I don''t mean that, but the equity in HeungKong Telephone Company we hold is not a financial leveraged purchase, so I don¡¯t care whether to sell or not. I don¡¯t look at HeungKong. The phone company is now, I am optimistic about its future, nothing more." "So you can''t let me lose, can you?" Speaking of this, Wang Qi has deeply realized that Roland Kadoorie does not intend to fulfill his wish. He can''t even reach an agreement on his views. The result of the negotiation will definitely be unsatisfactory. If he insists on talking, there will be something he cannot accept. the price of. Therefore, Wang Qi immediately adjusted his strategy and his attitude became cold, even with a hint of threat. "Mr. Kadoorie, I can understand that you mean that the Kadoorie family has enough funds to wait for Xiangjiang Telephone Company to get out of the quagmire again, is that right?" Roland Kadoorie was keenly aware of the change in Wang Qi''s attitude, frowned slightly and nodded slightly and said, "It can be understood that way." Wang Qi said with a sneer: "Mr. Kadoorie, I have a completely different view from you. I think the stock price of HeungKong Telephone Company will only get lower and lower before the problem is completely solved. It is easy to get a share below ten Hong Kong dollars." "It may be worth 17 Hong Kong dollars now, but it will be hard to tell later..." "Mr. Kadoorie, would you like to think about my price?" After speaking, Wang Qi quietly looked at Roland Kadoorie, waiting for his decision. Roland Kadoorie frowned, and there was a fierce struggle in his heart. At the price of 35 Hong Kong dollars per share he opened, the 3.16 million shares in his hand could be worth 110 million Hong Kong dollars. But according to Wang Qi''s bid, it would be cut in half, and it would be reduced to 53.72 million Hong Kong dollars. The difference is more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars! The Kadoorie family¡¯s assets are now more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it will not hurt the Kadoorie family, it will also have an impact. I really think the current money is good! Another, the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Telephone Company is Swire Group. If he sells the equity to Wang Qi, he will offend the Shi Yahuai family. If it is still sold at a super low price, there will be no opportunity for explanation. Shi Yahuai''s family was offended to death. But Rolandus Kadoorie also noticed that Wang Qi''s attitude had become tougher, and he obviously vowed not to stop until he reached his goal. Thinking of Xia Yu behind Wang Qi, Roland Kadoorie also felt a little worried. So he thought for a long time, took a step back to show his attitude, and said: "Mr. Wang Qi, your price is indeed too low, but I also hope to make friends with you, so I stepped back and the price dropped to 30 Hong Kong dollars, this is the lowest price. If you are not satisfied, then I am sorry." In the ideal of Roland Kadao, he has already backed down nearly 16 million Hong Kong dollars. The concession is definitely big enough and the posture is also very low. But Wang Qi was still dissatisfied. He said quietly: "Mr. Kadoorie, you are embarrassed by this. Our chairman''s face is not so cheap." "In this way, you might as well think about it for two more days, what do you think?" "Okay, I will consider it carefully." ... Watching Wang Qi''s car leave, Roland Kadoorie frowned and sighed, feeling very bad. A difficult problem appeared in front of him, no matter whether it was sold or not, it would offend people. What is this! "After all, holding this equity in your hands is not a solution. It''s better to ask the Shi Yahuai family if they want it. If they are willing to pay a suitable price to take over, then it would be great!" After thinking about it, Roland Kadoorie went back to the office and made a phone call to Shi Yahuai''s family, then prepared two small gifts and set off for Shi Yahuai''s family residence. After all, he is an Englishman and an ally of the Shi Yahuai family. Even if he sins against Xia Yu, he does not want to offend the Taikoo Consortium, which is about the same strength, and the British alliance headed by the Taikoo Consortium. ... However, on Xia Yu''s side, seeing Wang Qi coming back with a slightly unhappy face, Xia Yu had guesses in his heart, and he asked directly: "Does the Kadoorie family refuse to sell?" Wang Qi looked ashamed and lowered his head and said: "Chairman I''m sorry that things didn''t happen, Roland Kadoorie is always confused..." After quietly listening to Wang Qi''s narration, Xia Yu sneered, patted Wang Qi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well, don''t blame yourself, I didn''t expect Roland Kadoorie to be so tough. My face is not good." "If this is the case, there is no need to give him face, isn''t Roland Kadoorie boasting that he is not bad? See how much money he consumes in the stock market." "Send someone to engage in a listed company run by the Kadoorie family." "On the other hand, you can try the attitude of the Shi Yahuai family again. If the Shi Yahuai family will let go, then Roland Kadoorie will likely be subdued directly." Wang Qi nodded and said, "I understand that the reason why Roland Kadoorie is so persistent is that he believes too much in the British-owned alliance headed by Swire Group. Then we will break his expectations." Xia Yu picked up the teacup to blow away the white mist, sipped a sigh of heat, and said with a chuckle: "It is time to break their unrealistic fantasy, ha ha..." v3 Chapter 812: Share swap After Xia Yu gave the order, Wang Qi acted immediately and began to integrate the relevant business intelligence of the Kadoorie family. At the same time, holding Xia Yu''s order to integrate the stocks of the companies involved in the Kadoorie family within the Jiuding Consortium. Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company, and Jiuding Insurance Company under Jiuding Financial Group have strong financial strength and have all carried out investment business, and stock investment is the most common one. Not to mention that Chairman Xia Yu has pointed out that Hong Kong stocks have been in a bull market in recent years, and he can confidently invest in the stock market. Therefore, these companies have been scanning the stock market one after another, but all blue chip stocks are not let go, and they hold many and mixed stocks. Among them, there happened to be the equity of two listed companies involved in the Kadoorie family. They are Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group and China Light & Power Co., Ltd. As for the Heung Kong Carpet Co., Ltd., another pillar of the Kadoorie family established in 1961, as well as other companies in the real estate, construction, and dyeing and printing industries, none of them are currently listed, and the Kadoorie family basically holds more than 50% of the shares. It is even wholly-owned, so it cannot be controlled at all. Of course, some listed companies with a small amount of financial investment by Kadoorie & Sons Investment Co., Ltd. are another matter. They cannot be regarded as industries under the Kadoorie family, so they are not considered. ... "Norman, you stayed in the UK for two months. I haven''t seen you for a long time. It was great to see you!" Upon arriving at the Shi Yahuai family mansion in Victoria Peak, Roland Kadoorie met the helm of the Taikoo Consortium, who was more than ten years younger than him, and greeted him enthusiastically. Norman Shiya had a full smile on his face and the same enthusiasm: "Yes, it''s been a long time, Roland, let''s put things here, please sit down!" "Thank you!" "Is it still black coffee? Are you sure not to add milk?" "Of course, you know me, I like the bitter taste of black coffee, just like savoring life." "OK, unique taste, please wait..." Soon, the two of them drank coffee and started chatting. "Roland, why are you free to come to me today?" Taking a sip of coffee, Norman Shiya asked with a smile. Foreigners speak quite directly, not as subtle as the Chinese, and like to go around in circles. Norman Shiyahuai would certainly not speak in advance if the opposite was a rich Chinese man, but since he is a friend and ally Roland Kadoorie, it is a different matter of course. Hearing Norman Shi Yahuai¡¯s questioning, Roland Kadoorie swallowed the black coffee in his mouth, with a bitter expression on his face, sighed unconcealedly, and looked at Norman Shi Yahuai and said: "Norman, I am The next time I came to ask you for help, I was in a big trouble." Norman Shiya frowned, sat up straight and asked, "Rolandz, the strength of your family can be ranked in the dozens of places in Xiangjiang. Why are you in trouble?" As soon as he finished speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai flashed a flash of light in his mind and blurted out and asked, "Is it Xia Yu?" Roland Kadoorie was taken aback. He didn''t expect Norman Shiyahuai to guess it so quickly. He didn''t bother to ask how he guessed it. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he came to me. No, exactly It¡¯s trouble for us." "Before I came, Wang Qi of Jiuding Securities approached me and wanted to buy all the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company I held, and the purchase price was reduced to 17 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is a bully!" "Seventeen Hong Kong dollars per share?" Norman Shiya frowned, staring at Rolandz Kadoorie and asked again. The latter nodded and said that he was right, and flicked: "I don''t want to sell at all, and we are allies. The Xiangjiang Telephone Company is now controlled by Swire Group. Of course, I can''t stabb you from behind, so I just refused. ." "Before leaving, Wang Qi used threatening words to let me think about it for two more days. Where would I think about it? No, I just came to you." "By the way, I have learned about the share price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company before I came here. Now it has fallen to HK$15.8 per share, and it has fallen by nearly HK$20 in just a few days." "Shuit!" Hearing this, it was Norman Shi Yahuai who was over 60 years old and still couldn''t help but explode. This is a curse from heaven! He was originally caught up in the public opinion turmoil these days, which made him annoyed. Yesterday he went to the Governor''s House to explain to MacLehose. At the same time, he has to endure the pain of the stock price plummet of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. Who knows that Roland Kadoorie has brought another bad news now that Xia Yu actually moved his mind to Xiangjiang Telephone Company. As the largest shareholder of HeungKong Telephone Company, Swire Group holds 24.5% of the shares. Just like Roland''s Kadoorie considered, even though the stock price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company plummeted, Norman Shiyahuai was not in a hurry and never thought of selling the stock. After all, after the Jardine consortium was dismembered and eliminated, HSBC was eliminated. Now Swire Group is the first consortium of Hong Kong''s British capital. All restrictions are relaxed, and only HSBC and Jiuding Consortium are weighing on the Swire Group. Therefore, no matter how the share price of HeungKong Telephone Company drops, it is difficult to have any impact on the Swire Group. Swire Group has the capital to wait and spend time to kill the impact and let HeungKong Telephone Company''s share price rise again. When Xia Yu used Jiuding Securities to recoup his losses, Norman Shi Yahuai had some guesses, but he was not sure where he started. Now he learned that the target is not Dadong Telegraph Company Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., but Xiangjiang Telephone. The company, his mood is completely beeping. It''s a troublesome thing to get into conflict with the Jiuding Consortium again. "Norman, how are you going to respond?" Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai''s complexion stopped changing, Rolandz Kadoorie immediately asked, staring at the former closely. Norman Shiyahuai sighed and said helplessly, "Rolandz, do you think we can retire?" Roland Kadoorie immediately shook his head: "No!" Norman Shiyahuai nodded and said to himself, "Yes, no, the Jardine Foundation has been completely dismembered, and now it has completely disappeared in Xiangjiang. After more than a year, the Jiuding Foundation has also digested the foundation. Acquired company." "Because of the Jiuding Consortium, the strength of the Chinese consortium has increased dramatically in the past two years." "I don''t know how many people are staring at us, both openly and secretly. As long as we show fatigue, we will easily be troubled to come to us. Hearing this, Roland Kadoorie felt the same, saying: "It is all to blame for the Jiuding Consortium for opening this Pandora¡¯s Box. The Chinese capital has been much more courageous, and they have formed alliances with each other. The degree of unity is not as good as before. The pressure is increasing day by day!" Of course, if it weren''t for this reason, the British consortium and family that had been fighting separately would not get together and secretly formed the Hong Kong British Alliance headed by Swire Group. No way, who would let the Jardine Consortium be dismembered and wiped out of the four major British consortia, and Hutchison Whampoa was annexed, leaving only the Swire Consortium and Wheelock. But Wheelock is still stuck in a quagmire now, and he is too busy to take care of himself, and his strength is also inferior to the Taikoo Consortium. The position of the leader of this alliance is naturally the Swire Consortium. As for HSBC, which is the strongest in the true sense, there is no need to mention it. It was directly excluded by Hong Kong''s British capital. For Shen Bi, a traitor who only had money in his eyes, completely ignored their interests, and wanted to deal with Chinese capital, many of them were very angry. Shen Bi must be aware of this, but he judges that the future of Heung Kong lies with Chinese capital. As the chairman of HSBC, he only needs to be responsible for all shareholders. Naturally, interests are paramount. Any conflicts of interest, he can Don''t want to blend. "Then Norman, do you mean that you will not sell the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company?" Facing Roland¡¯s Kadoorie¡¯s questioning, Norman Shiyahuai nodded without hesitation and said, ¡°Of course, let them do what they do. I¡¯m definitely not selling it anyway.¡± Roland Kadoorie smiled immediately and said, "That''s good." "The Swire Group holds 24.5% of the shares, and we hold 15.8% of the shares, bringing the total to 40.3%." "The Hong Kong government still holds 20%. The Hong Kong government will definitely not sell it. As a result, the upper limit of Jiuding Securities'' acquisition is only 39.7%, which is also unable to fight us." "Not to mention that HeungKong Telephone Company has at least 15% of the equity in the hands of other British-owned families." Norman Shi Yahuai obviously thought of this, so he smiled and said, "Yes, we can''t fail in theory." "Although other people hold equity, they may not be able to withstand the pressure of the Jiuding Consortium. They may sell the stock but it doesn''t matter." Roland Kadoorie immediately seized the opportunity and sold miserably: "Norman, others can''t stand the pressure, even I can''t stand the pressure and have to come to you." "You also know that in the financial field, the strength of the Jiuding Consortium is terrible. It can grow because of its unrivalled financial strength." "Now the Jiuding Consortium has strong capital. If you trouble me in the stock market, the trouble will be great. Norman, Shen Bi can''t rely on it, and I can only trust you in Xiangjiang." "Why not, in order to facilitate your control of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, and also for me to keep the China Light and Power Company, we will exchange shares between us. I will transfer the shares of the Hong Kong Telephone Company to you, and you will hold the China Light and Power Company. Transfer to me, and I will use cash to make up the difference. What do you think?" At this time, Roland Kadoorie finally revealed the fox tail. Norman Shi Yahuai''s face changed, and his deep gaze fixed Rolandz Kadoorie, who was as thick as a city wall and kept the expected smile without any guilty conscience. v3 Chapter 813: If you don’t know anything, then **** him "Roland, what you do is nothing like what an old friend should do." Norman Shi Yahuai said with sharp eyes like a knife. Now that it is clear that Xia Yu is going to establish Xiangjiang Telephone Company, Roland Kadoorie exchanged shares with him, which not only improved his self-insurance capability, but also greatly increased the control of China Light and Power Co., Ltd., and transferred all the pressure to Swire Group. Body. All the benefits have been given to Roland Kadoorie, but he is carrying the pressure. Where is there such a good thing in the world? Really think that the leader of the alliance is back to resist the pressure? Roland Kadoorie didn¡¯t seem to see Norman Shiyahuai¡¯s anger, and said with a smile: ¡°Norman, after all, HeungKong Telephone Company is operated and controlled by Swire Group. No matter what, Xia Yu will find you. If the equity I hold is transferred Given the Swire Group, your control over HeungKong Telephone Company will be greatly enhanced, isn''t it?" "Share swap is beneficial to both of us and it is definitely a win-win situation." On the face of it, this is indeed true. But if this is the case, then it is clearly the pressure that both parties have to bear, and it will be borne by the Swire Group. The pressure on the Swire Group will be even greater! Therefore, Norman Shi Yahuai said indifferently: "Although we say that, since we are allies, we naturally have to advance and retreat together. As long as you don''t sell the equity, it will be the same in your hands as in my hands." "Roland, I believe you will abide by our agreement." "As for you are worried that Xia Yu will move China Light & Power Co., Ltd., you don¡¯t have to worry about it. His target is Hong Kong Telephone Company. Even if you really intend to move China Light & Power Co., Ltd., you hold 34% of the shares and we hold 100% of the shares. Eleventh, we hold a total of 45% of the shares. It is impossible for him to secretly acquire enough shares." "If you acquire the equity held by Swire Group, then you have to initiate a tender offer to all shareholders. Now the market value of China Light and Power Co., Ltd. is close to 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars. Are you sure you can spend that much money?" Facing a series of sharp rhetoric by Norman Shi Yahuai, Roland Kadoorie was speechless. The truth is true as Norman Shiyahuai said. According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, if a listed company¡¯s majority shareholder holds more than 35% of the shares, mandatory rules will be triggered, requiring it to initiate a takeover invitation to all shareholders for a full-scale takeover. Of course, it can also apply for an exemption, but those who apply for exemption It''s too difficult! If 50% of the shareholders accept the invitation, they can purchase the shares sold by any shareholder at the agreed price; if the purchase exceeds 75% and the tradable shares are less than 25%, and the listing requirements are not met, they will be forced to delist; if the shareholding ratio is More than 90% have the right to compulsorily acquire shares in the hands of any shareholder. Of course, the above situation is that the equity is clearly concentrated under the name of a major shareholder. Before Xia Yu, they used to buy secretly through separate accounts. No account would exceed 5%, and there was no need to publicize the shareholding ratio. The control of some acquired companies was really unknown, and the official could not find it. , These rules cannot be activated. Therefore, Roland Kadoorie can also re-register the company and hold it as a shell company that is ostensibly unrelated to it, so that it can avoid triggering the rules, otherwise it will have to initiate an acquisition from all shareholders. That¡¯s why, many of the largest shareholders in Hong Kong¡¯s listed companies have a shareholding ratio of about 34%, and the highest ratio is 34.9%, just to get the exemption in case of uncertainty. The right and the ability to acquire the company guarantees control of the company. Having said that, now that Norman Shiyahuai is talking about this, it is not easy for Rolandz Kadoorie to propose the acquisition of the shares of China Light and Power Co., Ltd. held by Swire Group, otherwise it will be a distrust of Norman Shiyahuai. , Distrust of the alliance between the two parties. Because of the power gap, without the alliance relationship, the Kadoorie family suffered even more. The ability of the Swire Consortium to resist the Jiuding Consortium does not mean that his Kadoorie family has this confidence. "OK, Norman, then I hope we can support each other on our respective boards." Roland Kadoorie pretended to smile easily. Norman Shiya said with a smile: "Of course, I will always give the most firm support to allies." Next, the two chatted for a long time before Roland Kadoorie chose the opportunity to leave. Watching Roland''s Kadoorie''s car go away, Norman Shi Yahuai sneered, eyes full of indifference. Today, Roland Kadoorie came to the door, making Norman Shiyahuai feel worthless for his previous attitude. As the leader of the alliance, Norman Shiyahuai intends to take responsibility, just to prevent the British capital from being defeated by everyone, so there is no need for Roland Kadoorie to say more, he will resist the pressure, but the premise is that other people don¡¯t stabbed behind. The knife betrayed him. Now Roland Kadoorie wants to shed the pressure, and this attitude makes Norman Shiyahuai doubt his true thoughts. The next step is to see how Roland Kadoorie made his decision. It was a test for him, and a test for the Hong Kong British-owned Alliance in a true sense. If Rolandus Kadoorie does not sell the shares of Heung Kong Telephone Company, but instead provokes Xia Yu''s revenge, then he will try his best to support the Kadoorie family. With the lessons learned from the Jardine Consortium and Hutchison Whampoa, Norman Shiyahuai has long been a successor and secretly strengthened his control of the Swire Group by several levels. This is how he flew back to the UK in the second half of last year and the first half of this year. The results. Therefore, judging from the current strength of Xia Yu, the Taikoo consortium under his control is not necessarily afraid of Xia Yu''s Jiuding consortium. If Roland Kadoorie sells his shares in Xiangjiang Telephone Company to Xia Yu, he will also give up fighting Xia Yu and directly give up the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. Anyway, this company is not the core of the Swire Consortium, and because of market reasons, relying on its monopoly advantage, its revenue capacity is far less than that of other industries such as real estate, aviation, and beverages. It would be a pity to sell it. But if this happened, then what trouble the Kadoorie family has encountered since then, and wanting the help of the Taikoo Consortium would be wishful thinking. It can only be said that interests are involved, and the alliance''s relationship has become extremely fragile. It depends on whether it can withstand the test of storms and waves. ... After Roland Kadoorie returned, he spent two hours quietly pondering at home, and finally decided to unite with the Swire Foundation. Now the Kadoorie family''s industry is in direct competition with Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium in many respects, and it is destined that the two parties cannot become friends. In Roland''s Kadoorie''s view, Xia Yu didn''t bother him now, and he will definitely find him in the future. According to Xia Yu''s rise, this is very likely. Not to mention that his Kadoorie family is also in Kowloon, in the same area as Xia Yu. At present, it seems that the first British-owned family in Kowloon is his Kadoorie family, and the first Chinese-funded consortium is Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding consortium. There is no room for two tigers, and it is difficult to think of conflicts. Since conflicts are destined to occur, his Kadoorie family is definitely not head-on, so it is better to hold onto the Taikoo consortium from the beginning, instead, there is a glimmer of life. "On the China Light and Power Co., Ltd., as long as Norman Shiyahuai can do what he said, I don¡¯t need to worry. Now the focus is on the Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group. I must first stabilize Liang¡¯s house and I must raise enough funds. ..." Roland Kadoorie took a deep cigar, narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself. Although he is now the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group, it seems to outsiders that the hotel group belongs to his Kadoorie family, but in fact it is not the case. It''s just that in the past few years it has been his Kadoorie family''s turn to serve as the chairman of the board of directors. The Kadoorie family holds only 16.7% of the shares and is the second largest shareholder, mainly responsible for operating hotels and related businesses. The largest shareholder is the Liang Chang family, the founding family of Hang Seng Bank, with a shareholding ratio of 31%. Now Liang Zhonghao, the second generation of the Liang family, has entered the board of directors as the vice chairman. The Liang family is mainly engaged in the real estate business of the hotel group The two parties have a clear division of labor and work together to manage the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group. As for the chairman of the board of directors of the group, the two parties take turns to serve, that''s all. After thinking about it, Roland Kadoorie made a call to Liang''s house. After confirmation, he set off again and took a small gift. Although I don''t know why Roland Kadoorie was so upset, the Liang family still promised not to sell the equity. Two days later, when Wang Qi came to visit again, Roland''s Kadoorie''s attitude became weird. He kept playing Tai Chi with Wang Qi, but didn''t let go, and didn''t even mention the price. The attitude of refusing to sell was undoubtedly revealed. Seeing this situation, Wang Qi decisively stopped the negotiation and did not put aside the harsh words at the door. He just took a deep look at Roland Kadoorie before leaving, and saw his heart beating wildly. After returning to the company, Wang Qi originally reported the situation to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu listened quietly, he didn''t have too many opinions, and only said two words-fuck him! v3 Chapter 814: Use Standard Chartered Bank However, before starting to engage in the Kadoorie family, Xia Yu had to understand the thinking of the Swire Consortium. "Wang Qi, what is the attitude of the Swire Consortium towards our acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company?" Wang Qi immediately replied: "Chairman, today I also sent someone to the door. The situation is worse than yesterday. Although I didn¡¯t talk about it yesterday, at least I met Norman Kadoorie, but today our people are even Norman. ¡¤ Kadoorie could not be seen, saying that he had gone to Omen, and the meaning of rejection was very obvious." Xia Yu nodded slightly and chuckled nonchalantly: "Since the two parties are unwilling to sell, the other minority shareholders are probably acting on the face of the Swire Consortium. Even if we get the minority shareholders'' equity, it will be useless." Speaking of this, Xia Yu turned around and said: "However, these small shareholders, as well as the circulating shares on the market, still have to continue to follow up. How much can be purchased, the mosquitoes are meat no matter how small." Fighting with the Taikoo Consortium, the temporary conditions are not yet sufficient, so killing Kadoorie is just right. Cut off its powerful wings first, and see who else dares to get so close to Swire Group! "The Swire Consortium only needs to take precautions and act on the Kadoorie family. There are a lot of voices in the Kowloon area!" Upon hearing the chairman''s order, Wang Qi took out the preparatory plan that had been prepared and handed it to Xia Yu. "Chairman, this is a hands-on plan I made. It combines our strengths and can inflict the greatest damage on the Kadoorie family with minimal effort." Xia Yu took it and looked at it carefully for ten minutes. He smiled with satisfaction and commented: "The plan is well done. Just follow this plan and let other companies help buy stocks. Wait until the right time. Announce, don''t scare them now." "Understand!" Wang Qi said with a smile, wondering what Roland''s Kadoorie would look like if he knew the truth. "A clever world is confused for a while, Roland Kadoorie doesn''t know what a powerful opponent he rejects..." With a sigh of emotion, Wang Qi took the plan and left the office quickly. After Wang Qi left, Xia Yu took his assistant and went to Standard Chartered Bank in a low-key manner. After coming back for so long, he did not take over Standard Chartered Bank. In London, although Xia Yu previously acquired 84.6% of Standard Chartered Bank¡¯s equity, the equity was dealt with and was cross-held by multiple shell companies. Although the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank is still Bright Fund, its shareholding ratio is only 21%. Xia Yu did not publicize the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. In the UK, he can keep a low profile, not to mention Xiangjiang, whose public opinion is controlled by him. His media did not report any relevant news. As for Ming Pao, Cheng Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal and the like, they are all still having a headache for the markets of Hong Kong and Austria. There is no need to care about a small incident in the UK. Because of this, Roland Kadoorie didn''t know that Standard Chartered Bank had been controlled by Xia Yu, and he dared to refuse Xia Yu. ... "Tuk tuk!" Gals Liddell is the Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank. Although he is only a professional manager and does not hold any equity in the bank, he knows Standard Chartered Bank well because of his long tenure. He has a good business operation and high prestige. . At this moment, he was signing and issuing documents, and he heard a rapid knock on the door. He frowned, followed the reputation, and said in a deep voice, "Come in." After the subordinate came quickly, he said quickly: "President, Mr. Xia Yuxia, chairman of Jiuding Financial Group, is here, and he is being received by other colleagues. He wants to see you, do you think?" Huh! Gals Liddell stood up abruptly, shocking the reporting subordinates. Gals Liddell did not explain, he immediately got out of his desk and said to his subordinates: "Where is the person, take me there!" The subordinate was stunned, nodded ignorantly and led the way. Soon, Gals Liddell saw Xia Yu, who was accompanied by other subordinates, in the reception room on the fifth floor. He walked over quickly and just wanted to say "Hello, Chairman" when Xia Yu shook his head slightly. , Gals Liddell was taken aback, and hurriedly swallowed his words back, and said respectfully, "Mr. Xia!" Gals Liddell''s performance really made all the subordinates confused, and all looked at each other. "Hello there!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and then said, "Could you please go to your office?" "of course can!" After speaking, Gals Liddell took Xia Yu and others to his office, and he realized that Xia Yu seemed to want to keep it secret, so he sent away all of his subordinates. After closing the door, Gals Liddell finally breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him respectfully again: "Chairman, I''m really sorry for keeping you waiting." "It doesn''t get in the way, you did a good job instead, and didn''t let others know what they shouldn''t know." Xia Yu said with a smile. Gals Liddleton smiled. Before the Standard Chartered Bank Group was acquired, Gals Liddell, as the head of the Hong Kong branch of Standard Chartered Bank and also the head of the Asian branch, naturally went to London to meet Xia Yu. He also knew that Standard Chartered Bank had changed without knowing it. When he was in London, Xia Yu told him that his position remains the same, and he should continue to manage Standard Chartered Bank. He must also ensure that the news is not leaked as much as possible, and he will be told when something happens. Gals Liddell has also been following the news of Xia Yu, and he certainly knew it when Xia Yu returned. Only because he remembered the previous instructions, he couldn''t take the initiative to visit Xia Yu even though he was itching in his heart. He could only wait for Xia Yu to come and find him like the harem concubine waiting for the emperor''s grace. After waiting for so many days, Xia Yu finally came, and Gals Liddell was relieved. "Chairman, do you have any instructions for coming this time?" Sitting opposite Xia Yu, Gals Liddell asked with concern. "Well, there are a few things for you to do." Xia Yu nodded slightly. Looking at Gals Liddell, who was leaning forward to listen, Xia Yu continued: "Now according to the information found, Standard Chartered Bank holds 35% of the shares of Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd. HeungKong Telephone Co., Ltd. owns 5.1% of the shares, holds 5.7% of the shares of HeungKong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group, and holds 23.4% of the shares of China Light & Power Co., Ltd. Do not sell these shares If it is dropped, let me arrange it later." "For the time being, Baoyuan Investment in Heung Kong Co., Ltd. will leave the other three companies. You mobilize the resources of Standard Chartered Bank to acquire as much as possible the equity of minority shareholders. When it comes to equity of the Kadoorie family, the Swire Consortium and the Liang family, you should not go. Move, understand?" Gals Liddell''s heart shuddered, and he immediately replied: "I understand, I''ll make arrangements later." After speaking, Gals Liddell hesitated for a moment and asked: "Chairman, do you want to do something against the Kadoorie family?" Xia Yu didn''t conceal his own person, nodded and said, "Yes." But the specific reasons were not explained. Upon seeing this, Gals Liddell decisively crushed his curiosity. "By the way, how is the business relationship between Standard Chartered Bank and the Swire Consortium?" After thinking about it, Xia Yu suddenly asked. Gals Liddell immediately replied: "It was okay before But since last year, the business volume of the Swire Consortium has decreased. I have specifically investigated that it was not assigned to HSBC, but to others. Foreign banks have made the Swire Consortium more concealed." "However, Standard Chartered Bank also holds shares of many listed companies under the Swire Consortium. Although there are many and small, there are still many types. I can''t remember the specifics. It takes a few days to sort out." Just when Gals Liddell thought that Xia Yu wanted to do something against the Swire Consortium, he heard Xia Yu say: "That''s it, you don¡¯t want to sell the stocks of companies under the Swire Consortium anymore. You have to keep inhaling. If this increases operating costs and operating difficulties, you can tell me directly and I will deal with it." "Understand!" The pressure in Gals Liddell''s heart dropped sharply, and the chairman of the secret path was reasonable. "Go, speed up the efficiency, time is tight, but be careful not to leak the wind." "I know!" ... () v3 Chapter 815: Start from the Liang family Liang Chang, a well-known wealthy businessman in Hong Kong and Austria, was originally a wealthy businessman on the mainland. During the war, his family came to Xiangjiang and used the resources in his hand, coupled with his own ability, to create a wealthy Liang across Xiangjiang and Omen. Family. In the 1950s, Liang Chang cooperated with Fu Laorong, the first-generation gambling king of Longman, to run an entertainment gambling company. However, when Fu Laorong passed away in 1960, the new governor Ma Ji was dissatisfied with the Fu family¡¯s monopoly of the long-term gambling industry, so he re-issued gambling cards. After that, the second-generation gambling kings He Hongshen and Ye Han took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the long-term gambling rights. Being taken away by He Hongshen and others, Liang Changcai had to retreat to Xiangjiang. A few years later, Liang Chang died naturally, and the Liang family stick passed on to his son Liang Zhiwei. Liang Zhiwei was quite a father. In 1933, he represented the Liang family and established Hang Seng Bank in partnership with Lin Bingyan, He Shanheng and others. However, in 1965, Hang Seng Bank was controlled by HSBC, and the Liang family had a sharp stake. Less, even the board of directors has not been saved. However, it is said that the dead camel is bigger than the horse. What''s more, the Liang family was only frustrated in the long-term gambling industry, and the banking industry is not the core. It is one of the shareholders, and the damage is not serious. Therefore, the overall strength of the family remains the same. Improved every year. It''s just that Liang Chang has lived for a long time, so when the control of the family fell to Liang Zhiwei, he was more than 60 years old. After only a dozen years, as the second-generation heir of the wealthy Liang family and the current head of the family, Liang Chang is now in high age. Realizing that preparations were necessary, in 1979, he gradually transferred the affairs of the Liang family to his son Liang Zhonghao. After a year of observation, Liang Zhonghao''s performance also made Liang Zhiwei very pleased. This morning, Liang Zhiwei, who was in poor health, was lying on the wicker chair in the yard, bathing in the warm sunshine, reading the newspaper leisurely. More than a year has been enough for him to adapt to a relaxed and comfortable life. At this moment, Liang Zhonghao quietly came to his father''s side. Liang Zhiwei put down the newspaper, pushed the reading glasses, and asked faintly: "How about? What did Zheng Yutong say?" Liang Zhiwei thought that his son Liang Zhonghao wanted to talk to himself about real estate, because there happened to be a business that wanted to cooperate with New World Development Corporation these days, and Liang Zhonghao was taking full responsibility. After the failure of the Longman gambling industry, the Liang family has stepped into multiple industries in order to expand its influence and share the risks. The real estate industry is the core industry of the Liang family. In addition to setting up a real estate development company by the Liang family, the holding Heungkong Shanghai Hotel Group also involved in the real estate industry, and the Liang family is also an important shareholder of Zheng Yutong¡¯s New World Development Company. In November last year, Liang Zhonghao took over the responsibility and served as Director of New World Development Corporation. The Xiangjiang family knows that the Liang family and Zheng Yutong almost wear a pair of trousers, and the relationship between the two parties is very close. Liang Zhonghao shook his head, frowned slightly, and said with some annoyance: "Dad, it''s not a matter of the development of the new world, but it may be a trouble. I just received a call at the company, and Xia Yu came to make an appointment. Come visit our house at 3 in the afternoon." Liang Zhiwei, who was still relaxing on the recliner, couldn''t keep calm this time. He immediately sat up and looked at his son with a serious expression, "Did he say anything? Do you know his purpose?" Liang Zhonghao shook his head: "He didn''t say it, I kept asking it vaguely, he just said that there is something he wants to cooperate with us, which is a win-win thing." After listening, Liang Zhiwei furrowed his brows, stood up, holding his hands and thinking about the possibility. Upon seeing this, Liang Zhonghao whispered: "Dad, I thought about it when I came here. Our family has a lot of involvement with Xia Yu. One is the real estate industry, the other is the Hong Kong Olympic Flying Boat Company, and the other is Xiangjiang. Shanghai Hotel Group, these three are all competing." What Liang Zhonghao said was all involved in the Liang family. Needless to say, Xia Yu is now the largest landlord in Hong Kong. Jiuding Real Estate Group has no matter whether it is land holdings, real estate opening, construction, and transaction volume. And so on, they all rank first in Hong Kong. The Liang family''s real estate company will always overlap with Xia Yu''s Jiuding Real Estate Group, and friction is normal. Needless to say, the Hong Kong-Olympic Flying Ferry Company is a direct competitor to Xia Yu¡¯s current Star Ferry Company under the Jiuding Transportation Group Company, and the scope of competition is in the Hong Kong-Olympic lane. He Hongshen¡¯s Shun Tak Shipping Company was the first to operate this line. Later, the Liang family, who had failed in the gambling industry, was unwilling to set up the Hong Kong Olympic Flying Wing Company to intervene in the competition. Later, the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company also participated and formed The trend of three pillars. Afterwards, the Xiangjiang Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company was acquired by Xia Yu, merged into the Star Ferry Company, and then subordinated to the Jiuding Transportation Group. Naturally, it can be regarded as a direct competition with Xia Yu. There is no need to mention the last Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group. It is not far from Xia Yu¡¯s Harbour City in the Kowloon area and competes head-on with Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel. The Hang Seng Bank¡¯s point, Liang Zhonghao did not mention it, because now Hang Seng Bank is controlled by HSBC and no one can take it away, and the Liang family only has a few percent of the equity. The competition between Hang Seng Bank and Jiuding Bank can also be said. It has nothing to do with the Liang family. After a long time, Liang Zhiwei stopped and said with a slight dignity: "What you say is possible. Make a plan for each, and see how he plays the cards in the afternoon." "By the way, you should also prepare. No matter what he is doing, Xia Yu''s power in Xiangjiang is too strong now. If he can''t sin against him, he will try his best not to sin against him. As long as he can befriend him without harming his family''s interests, Not bad." Liang Zhonghao nodded his head: "Don''t worry, dad, I know everything." Liang Zhiwei smiled and nodded: "Well, you have performed very well this year. You can rank in the middle and upper reaches of the same generation." Just when Liang Zhonghao smiled, Liang Zhiwei immediately poured cold water: "But don''t be proud. Your current performance is just barely conservative, far less than the people who started a family. Xia Yu is a dozen years younger than you, but accomplishments. My Liang family has not been able to match it for a hundred years. This afternoon, you can listen and read more. It is best to be able to understand." Liang Zhonghao took a deep breath. He did not get angry because his father compared himself with Xia Yu and devalued himself. For Xia Yu''s achievements, he had long been convinced, even admired. If the gap with one person can still be caught up, it will only be envy and jealousy, but when the gap is widened enough, then people''s mentality will change, and more will be admiration and admiration. Today, the younger generations of rich children in Xiangjiang have long been convinced of Xia Yu to the point of numbness, directly ignoring Xia Yu''s age, and classifying Xia Yu at the level of his parents. "Dad, don''t worry, I know how important it is, and I can face myself." "Now let''s talk about how to deal with him this afternoon." "Well, let''s go into the back room and talk." After speaking, Liang Zhonghao helped his father Liang Zhiwei, and the father and son walked slowly into the inner room. ... At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, when Xia Yu¡¯s car came to the door of Liang¡¯s house, he was surprised to find Liang Zhiwei was standing at the door with Liang Zhonghao staring at the hot sun. Xia Yu quickly ordered the driver to stop, then opened the door and walked to the two of them. A flattered expression said to Liang Zhiwei: "Liang Sheng, you are so generous, Xia is really ashamed of it, I''m late, sorry!" No matter what kind of mentality Liang Zhiwei made such a move, the courtesy Xia Yu must be able to accept. Although Xia Yu wanted to have a threatening nature, there is no way to say that he still has to accept his love. Xia Yu estimated in his heart that Liang Zhiwei was afraid that he would not understand him, and worried that he was a weasel giving a New Year greeting to the rooster, so he lowered his posture first, so that he could not show his face and do evil. "I''m so notorious?" Xia Yu secretly laughed at himself. "What you want, Xia Sheng is the God of Wealth, and the distinguished guests come to the door, but let me Liang Jia Pengxun shine." Liang Zhiwei laughed loudly. People in the sedan chair carry others, isn''t it just business blowing up each other, he can also say openly: "Liang Sheng had a good reputation, the Liang family was already famous when I was not born, and it has been passed down for a hundred years, I have to learn from your family." "Haha, Xia Sheng can speak well!" Liang Zhiwei laughed loudly. Suddenly he lightly stroked his forehead, waking up, and said to himself: "Look at me, this old fool, blocking Xia Sheng at the door, it really shouldn''t, please come inside." "It doesn''t matter, you always please!" Xia Yu said with a faint smile, and entered the room half way behind Liang Zhiwei. After a while, the servant brought the dim sum and tea that had been prepared, and Xia Yu and several of his subordinates drank tea at Liang Zhiwei''s greeting. Talking and laughing and talking about funny things, I swallowed a cup of tea without knowing it. Realizing that it was almost time, Xia Yu put down his teacup, looked at Liang Zhiwei with a faint smile, and said, "Liang Sheng, this time I took the liberty to visit, there is a cooperation I want to discuss with your family... Liang Zhiwei''s eyes condensed, his body leaned forward slightly, and his face solemnly said, "Xia Sheng might as well say straight." Liang Zhonghao, who was sitting by the side, lifted his heart slightly, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and even his breathing slowed down subconsciously. Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "Liang Sheng, as far as I know, the Liang family''s business focus is now on the real estate industry." This is a fact that most of the rich and powerful people know So Liang Zhiwei nodded calmly: "Yes." Xia Yu said with a smile: "My cooperation involves real estate business." "Although Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group started as a hotel, as far as I know, most of the group''s assets are in the real estate field, and this area is directly managed by your family." Hearing this, Liang Zhiwei frowned slightly, with a bad feeling in his heart. Fortunately, Xia Yu''s next words dispelled his worries and let him secretly breathe a sigh of relief. "But I also have a real estate company myself, and the land is sufficient for development, so I don''t want to expand the real estate company. Liang Sheng can rest assured." "As for me, it happens to be a little contradictory with the Kadoorie family, so I intend to integrate the hotel market." "Therefore, I intend to cooperate with your family on the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group." () v3 Chapter 816: Launch an attack Hearing that the Kadoorie family had a conflict with Xia Yu, Liang Zhiwei was a little surprised. Although he was curious, he did not ask much, but secretly thanked that it was not his Liang family. It''s just the cooperation mentioned by Xia Yu. What kind of statement is it? Liang Zhiwei pondered for a moment, then slowly asked: "Xia Sheng, I would like to hear the details!" Xia Yu smiled faintly: "I think so." "The Liang family now holds 31% of the shares of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group, but the focus is on the real estate industry, and what I want is the hotel business." "So I will acquire equity from other aspects. When the time comes, the Liang family will do me a favor and clear the Kadoorie family. After the cleanup, we will split the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group into two companies corresponding to real estate and hotels. The real estate company belongs to you and the hotel company belongs to me. We will discuss how to resolve the price difference at that time to achieve a win-win situation." "Liang Sheng, what do you think?" Xia Yu''s plan was simple and clear, and Liang Zhiwei and his son understood it immediately. To put it bluntly, let the Liang family help stabbing the Kadoorie family. Although it is easy to be hated by the Kadoorie family, they have gained Xia Yu¡¯s friendship and obtained a real estate controlled or even wholly-owned by the Liang family. the company. What Xia Yu obtained was a hotel company whose profitability is far lower than that of the real estate industry. As far as the current business form is concerned, although Xia Yu has gained, he will definitely not be more than Liang''s. Although Liang''s family lacked the influence of the hotel industry, they didn''t care about it before, otherwise they wouldn''t hand over the hotel management business to Roland Kadoorie. Now Xia Yu''s plan is probably to help them refine their strength and advance. A brighter real estate industry. Xia Yu''s behavior seemed to have a relatively large element of revenge, but it was a win-win situation for both of them, which made Liang Zhiwei relieved. As for this offending the Kadoorie family? Liang Zhiwei didn''t care at all. Throughout the history of Xia Yu''s rise, the British-owned families that were stronger than the Kadoorie family were stepped on and swept into the dust of history, let alone the weaker Kadoorie family? Being stared at by Xia Yu, it is perfectly possible to foresee the decline of the Kadoorie family in the future. Abandoning the Kadoorie family and befriend Xia Yu, who is also a Chinese, is definitely an excellent choice. Therefore, facing Xia Yu¡¯s expectant gaze, Liang Zhiwei, in order to sell his personal affection, Bo Xia Yu¡¯s favor, immediately decided: "Xia Sheng, your plan is indeed a win-win situation. If I don¡¯t agree, I will be really confused." "What''s more, you and I are both Chinese. Since the Kadoorie family offended you, I should stand on the same front with you. Even if it is against my family, I will definitely be able to do it!" This scene is beautiful! Xia Yu smiled and didn''t take it seriously. He raised his teacup and looked at Liang Zhiwei: "Thank you Liang Sheng for his generous help. I will use tea instead of wine. I toast you a cup!" Liang Zhiwei hurriedly picked up the tea cup and laughed loudly: "Xia Sheng, this is our first cooperation. I wish us a happy cooperation and have more opportunities for cooperation in the future!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course, I respect you!" "please!" After speaking, the two gently clinked their glasses, and then drank them. The tone has been set, and the specific details do not need to be dealt with at the level of Xia Yu. After chatting with Liang Zhiwei for another quarter of an hour, Xia Yu said goodbye. Liang Zhiwei insisted on sending Xia Yu out and watched Xia Yu''s car go away. Seeing his son Liang Zhonghao want to talk, Liang Zhiwei said lightly: "Go into the back room and talk!" "Dad, Roland Kadoorie suddenly visited our house before, and we were still wondering. Now that Xia Yu has arrived, everything is clear. It seems that the Kadoorie family really offended Xia Yu in unknown places." After entering the house to take a seat, Liang Zhonghao said with emotion. Liang Zhiwei squinted his eyes and said lightly: "It doesn''t matter whether it is a real offense or a fake offense. The important thing is that Roland Kadoorie still wants to drag us into the water, which is too unjust." Liang Zhonghao nodded, and said angrily with the same enemy: "Yes, since he is uneasy and kind, it''s no wonder our house." "By the way, Dad, who will be responsible for this matter?" Liang Zhiwei glanced at his son, and said angrily: "Who else can be, just go. Now Xia Yu''s momentum is unobstructed. As long as he doesn''t have any trouble, he will lead the future of Xiangjiang for decades. It is a rare opportunity to have this opportunity. If you become a good friend with him, I will be able to trust the Liang family to you completely." "As for whether an accident will happen to him, as far as his demonstrated strength, no organization in Xiangjiang dare to move him, he is safe." Liang Zhonghao took a deep breath, nodded his head and said: "I understand, I will take care of it. Now that I have decided to sell favors, then sell them thoroughly." Liang Zhiwei smiled with satisfaction: "That''s right, it''s the truth. People who do big things never know both ends of the game. They must bet decisively when it''s time to bet!" "..." ... In the next few days, Xia Yu put Huo Jianning in charge and recruited the standard accounting firm and elites from Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. to negotiate with the Liang family about specific actions, including the subsequent method of dividing interests. After the negotiation, Liang Zhonghao volunteered and said that he could help Xia Yu acquire the equity in the hands of other small shareholders. It was completely a posture that he was not afraid of Xia Yu''s opposition to the client. With this attitude of the Liang family, Xia Yu couldn''t help but take a high look. On the other hand, many financial institutions such as Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., Jiuding Bank, etc. are also quietly weaving networks, preparing to capture the Kadoorie family in one fell swoop. The outside world has been calm and calm, making Rolandz Kadoorie, Norman Shiyahuai and others confused, and they even wondered if they were thinking too much. Just when Roland Kadoorie wanted to relax his vigilance subconsciously, the stock market finally made waves. The first to be abnormal were HeungKong Telephone Company, whose share price was plummeting, and Dadong Telegraph Company HeungKong Co., Ltd. After a short period of stock price fluctuations, all the outstanding stocks on the market were swept away by mysterious big buyers who suddenly appeared, and then batches of buying orders were hung out. Some investors who were still worried about being locked up were overjoyed, and immediately found the financial institution that opened the account and entrusted it to help solve the set. As more and more stocks are traded, the market has naturally changed. The most obvious thing is that the stock price has no longer fallen, but has been driven by the hot acquisition scene. Immediately afterwards, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced that it had acquired 15.9% of the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company, surpassing Kadoorie''s parent subsidiary to become the company''s third largest shareholder. Shocking! The HeungKong Telephone Company, which was already in a whirlpool of public opinion, immediately became the focus of the whole HeungKong. Even because Jiuding Newspaper Company¡¯s newspapers are sold throughout Southeast Asia, and the Global TV station is also facing the entire Southeast Asia, people over there will also project their sights and wait. The further direction of the matter. In the eyes of the people, the share price of HeungKong Telephone Company began to rise. Some stockholders or institutions who were completely afraid immediately seized the opportunity to clear their positions and left the market. These stocks were naturally rushed to raise by Jiuding Securities. What followed was the stock price that started to rise! Roland Kadoorie, who has always been vigilant, immediately joined Norman Shiyahuai. The content of the discussion was simple. The two parties invested separately, participated in the competition, and rushed to raise the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company to ensure that Xiangjiang Telephone Company would not change ownership. As a result, the share price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company has risen steadily, which is in Xia Yu''s arms. Time to officially enter the next step of the plan! v3 Chapter 817: Deep malice Office of the President of Jiuding Bank, Central, Hong Kong Island. Liu Tianci shook hands with a rich bald middle-aged man, smiled and said, "Wang Sheng, thank you for your generosity." The bald middle-aged man had a lower posture than Liu Tianci, and he quickly laughed and said: "Liu Sheng made a serious statement. My company can only flourish under the care of your company. It is my honor to be able to help your company with a small favor. , I have to take care of Liu Sheng in the future." Liu Tianci fully promised: "Wang Sheng can rest assured that we have been working together for a long time. As you know, for friends, our Jiuding Bank has always been generous to help. If you have any business in the financial field, you can come to me at any time. If our group brother companies can help, I will also help you contact." The bald middle-aged man thanked him: "Then I would like to thank Liu Sheng. There is still something to do with our company, so I won''t disturb you for now." Liu Tianci smiled and said, "Wang Sheng, I will give it to you!" After sending the rich and bald middle-aged away, Liu Tianci returned to his office again, took out the file bag from the drawer, and put it in his hands, showing a satisfied smile. This is the third minority shareholder of China Light & Power Company he has settled. According to the equity structure of China Power Company, Xia Yu ordered Huo Jianning to assign the acquisition task to each company of the consortium based on the situation of each minority shareholder, not limited to Jiuding Securities. Although Jiuding Securities is the most proficient in the securities business, in many cases, it is not about who has the strongest ability, but about finding the most suitable candidate. For example, the five minority shareholders assigned to Jiuding Bank have deep business dealings with Jiuding Bank. It can be said that they are the gods of wealth in the company of those five minority shareholders. Therefore, Jiuding Bank''s speech weight is naturally heavier than Jiuding Securities. Sure enough, Liu Tianci found three small shareholders in a row. Everyone, regardless of whether he wanted it or not, was smiling when facing him. After he offered a 20% premium price, he easily took the initiative to bring Come to the equity certificate and sign the equity transfer contract. Therefore, after three transactions, 5.9% of the shares of China Power Corporation have been acquired. And it only took more than a day, and the efficiency was far better than buying bulk stocks from the secondary market. Before the news was leaked, the stock price would not fluctuate. The equity is concentrated in the hands of Jiuding Bank, so Jiuding Bank has a ten-day time buffer. If the equity is not disposed of after ten days, it is obliged to disclose shareholding information to the outside world. And ten days is definitely enough! "There are two more shareholders, one holding 1.3% and the other holding 1.6%. I will try to get it done today!" Liu Tianci chuckled, locked the document bag containing the stock certificate and contract in the safe, and then picked up the phone and dialed a number. ... At the same time, Xia Yu also invited Bao Yugang to come forward. As a director of HSBC, Bao Yugang''s Global International Capital Co., Ltd. wanted to acquire 5.4% of the Hong Kong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group held by HSBC. Under the premise that the price is right, it is a breeze. In order to do a good job of confidentiality for Xia Yu, Bao Yugang also signed a temporary confidentiality agreement with HSBC. After the equity was acquired, Bao Yu just turned around and transferred the equity that had not yet been covered to Xia Yu. On the Liang family''s side, they are also meeting with the minority shareholders who are not qualified to be on the board of directors as major shareholders to buy their shares for Xia Yu. As for the secondary market, Jiuding Securities is in charge. Now Jiuding Securities is strong and has many elites. It is a piece of cake to arrange two teams to buy the shares of Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group and China Power Company. Four days passed in a flash, and the stock market was closed for two days in the middle, finally letting the gunpowder that pervaded the two telecommunications companies dissipated a little. However, when the stock market opened on Monday, the smoke resurrected, and the Hong Kong Telephone Company jumped at the opening. The stock price instantly jumped to 36 Hong Kong dollars per share, which directly surpassed the stock price before the decline, and the momentum of competition is still increasing! The decisive bidding and paying orders that have been put up again and again demonstrate the determination of both parties to acquire. But this time, whether it is the rich or ordinary people who eat melons, they have insufficient confidence in Jiuding Securities. No way, the shareholding situation of HeungKong Telephone Company is different. Swire Group and Kadoorie''s parent company are obviously on the same line. The original shareholding ratio of the two companies remained unchanged, but the new company''s shareholding ratio reached 3.2%. Together with the original shareholding ratios of the two, the two now hold a total of 43.5%. At present, 20% of the Hong Kong government¡¯s equity will not be sold to any party, so the peak value of equity increase left to Jiuding Securities is 36.5%. The shareholding ratio announced by Jiuding Securities is only 19.8%. Under this circumstance, Jiuding Securities has a slim chance of winning. Let alone controlling the board of directors, even the general meeting of shareholders cannot be controlled. No wonder the outside world is not optimistic about Jiuding Securities. Secretly, there are even many people discussing that Jiuding Securities will finally break the undefeated golden body, and Xia Yu will also face a failure. Many people who were overwhelmed by Xia Yu were secretly looking forward to it, cheering for the Swire Financial Group and the Kadoorie family in their hearts. But unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed! Early on Wednesday morning, the stock market had not yet opened. Just as everyone was looking forward to the continuation of the war, Roland Kadoorie suddenly received a call from Liang Zhonghao, saying that the shareholders meeting of the Hong Kong Shanghu Hotel Group was going to be held. Roland Kadoorie was just a little bit awkward. Premonition. He hurriedly asked Liang Zhonghao what he was doing, but Liang Zhonghao''s attitude was a little confused, and he vaguely asked him to come to the company at half past nine. No way, Rao is now the chairman of the board of directors of the hotel group, and he still has to be cautious when facing the shareholders meeting of the Liang family, the largest shareholder. Although the board of directors directly controls the company, the general meeting of shareholders is the father of the board of directors. Liang''s shareholding ratio is as high as 31%, and he has high prestige in the general meeting of shareholders. If he directly calls for 50% of the voting rights, he can easily dismiss the board of directors, his current chairman of the board The position can be removed instantly. When Roland Kadoorie came to the company with great heart, it was already 9.28. As soon as he entered the company, Roland Kadoorie found that the atmosphere of the company was not right, and the company''s staff saw his eyes flicker, which aggravated his inner anxiety. It was a pity that time was too late, and he didn''t even bother calling an employee to ask clearly the reason, and quickly speeded up the pace. When Roland Kadoorie came to the large conference room, his eyes quickly swept away, only to find that many of the original shareholders had disappeared, and the number was reduced by more than half. One of them was reflected in Roland Kadoorie¡¯s eyes. He feels unusually harsh. The man wore a kind smile and even nodded to him, but Roland Kadoorie felt a deep malice in the other''s kind smile. That person is... () v3 Chapter 818: Seize power easily That man is his opponent, Ji Wei, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group. In the past year, as the Jiuding Consortium continues to merge and spin-off the company, the strength of Jiuding Hotel Management Group has also expanded rapidly. It has not only owned the Marco Polo hotel brand, but also the Wenhua obtained from the spin-off of the Land Group. Hotels, and a 49% stake in the Sheraton Hotel acquired after the split from Hutchison Whampoa. Especially the Sheraton Hotel, although only 49% of the equity, but the management power is in the hands. In this way, several brands of Jiuding Hotel Management Group compete with Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group together. Ji Wei is also a very hardworking person. He has launched a series of methods to compete with his peers. The effect is very significant. Because of the positioning problem, the most affected is the Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group. Therefore, Roland Kadoorie attaches great importance to Ji Wei, a young man who is less than half his age. Even without considering the background of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, he regards Ji Wei as a comparable opponent. But now, the opponent who has been fighting with him for a long time, Shi Shiran is sitting in his own company and talking and laughing with Liang Zhonghao, the representative of the largest shareholder, but he has not received any news before. How can this not make Rolandz Kadoorie''s heart shake. Is it that today, the Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group, which symbolizes the honor of the Kadoorie family, will change ownership? "Mr. Kadoorie, what are you doing standing at the door, please come in!" Liang Zhonghao smiled and said to Roland Kadoorie, he didn''t seem to notice the weird atmosphere at all. Several other shareholders, including representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, which holds 5.7% of the shares, looked at Roland Kadoorie with different expressions. It is worth mentioning that, in order not to be exposed early, the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank has not been transferred to Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Unless it is a last resort, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank will not have a clear stand, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Roland Kadoorie. , Affecting the subsequent series of plans. "Good morning everyone, I''m sorry I''m late! Keep everyone waiting!" Roland Kadoorie quickly picked up his mood, regained his peace, and said apologetically as he walked in. No matter what happens next, at least you can''t lose your face. On the board of directors, Roland Kadoorie, who is on the rotation, should of course take the first place, but in the general meeting of shareholders, the position can be ranked according to the level of equity. When Roland Kadoorie took his seat, Liang Zhonghao, who was sitting in the first place, nodded to the staff standing by the door, and the staff immediately closed the door and exited. Seeing this, Liang Zhonghao said: "Okay, the time has come, everyone who should be here is here, and those who haven''t come will probably not be here. The general meeting of shareholders has officially started. Now let me introduce you to the new company. shareholder." "This is the one sitting next to me, Mr. Ji Weiji, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Jiuding Hotel Management Group holds 20.2% of the shares and is the second largest shareholder of the group." "Let us welcome Mr. Ji to join our big family!" "Papa..." After finishing speaking, Liang Zhonghao took the lead in applauding, and the others immediately followed. Only Roland Kadoorie patted his face with an ugly expression and then stopped, looking sharply at Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei. "Hello everyone!" Ji Wei smiled and got up to say hello to everyone, and then took his seat again. "Mr. Ji, I didn''t expect us to sit together in this way. It surprised me." Roland Kadoorie looked at Ji Wei and said lightly. Ji Wei smiled faintly, and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, things are impermanent. There should be more than this one you didn''t expect." After speaking, Ji Wei ignored the solemn Roland Kadoorie and looked at Liang Zhonghao. Liang Zhonghao understood and didn''t intend to drag his feet. He pretended not to see Roland''s Kadoorie''s sharp gaze, and said blankly: "Next, we will officially enter the articles of association of this shareholder meeting." "In fact, there is only one charter, and that is that the company¡¯s operating conditions need to be improved. Although the revenue has been growing over the years, under the new situation, the growth rate is not stable and has a slowing down. Therefore, I recommend re-election. The board of directors, change the status quo of the company!" As soon as he said this, Roland''s Kadoorie''s face changed drastically, and what he was worried about finally happened. He couldn''t believe that the friendship with the Liang family for so many years was so useless? I went to Liang''s house only a few days ago, and I didn''t expect to turn my face now! Now it¡¯s extremely dangerous. Liang Zhonghao directly tore his face. Roland Kadoorie couldn¡¯t care about other things. He had to struggle with all his strength and directly questioned Liang Zhonghao: "Mr. Liang, I don¡¯t agree with your proposal. The company¡¯s current operations The situation is very good, and I am already studying a new business plan and will soon make changes. I believe no one knows the company better than I do. At this time, I recommend that the company remain as stable as possible." At this time, Roland Kadao''s ideal is procrastination, first try to stabilize Liang Zhonghao and other shareholders, and get enough time for himself. As for the so-called plan, it is naturally an imaginary thing. However, since the Liang family has decided to sell favors, they are also quite decisive in doing things. There is no need for Ji Wei to speak out. Liang Zhonghao directly said with a cold face: "Mr. Kadoorie, you don''t have to worry, it is better to listen to everyone''s opinions? What do you think?" Ji Wei also smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Kadoorie, the company belongs to all shareholders. In terms of operation and management, it must be democratic and listen to everyone''s opinions." "Will you re-elect the board of directors? It''s not enough to vote, it''s a simple matter!" "Everyone, right?" At the end, Ji Wei smiled and looked at the others present. There are two British shareholders, as well as representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, two Chinese shareholders, and two representatives of the most insignificant shareholders representing the public. Now it is obviously a fight between the great gods. Except for the representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, the other small shareholders dared to say anything. They all smiled and did not dare to speak. They were all worried about risks and gains and losses. Now the new second largest shareholder obviously wears the same pair of trousers as the largest shareholder. The combined shareholding ratio of the two parties exceeds 50%. It does not matter whether these small shareholders have any opinions. The response to the situation that may arise is important. After Ji Wei finished speaking, Liang Zhonghao ignored Roland''s Kadoorie, and then he made a decision: "Mr. Ji is right. Agree or disagree. We will vote!" After finishing speaking, he ignored Roland''s Kadoorie''s cannibal gaze, raised his hand and said, "On behalf of the Liang family, I agree to re-elect the board of directors!" Ji Wei smiled at Roland Kadoorie and raised his hand in the latter''s angry eyes: "I also agree to re-elect the board of directors!" Together, the shareholding ratio has reached 51.2%! However, if more than two-thirds of the participants in this general meeting of shareholders are present, the voting is naturally valid. Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, several small shareholders looked at each other and slowly raised their hands. Upon seeing this, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank smiled helplessly: "It seems that it doesn''t matter whether I vote or not. I want to say that I am satisfied with Mr. Roland''s Kadoorie''s management, but I am satisfied with Mr. Liang''s proposal. I also look forward to changing the business model. This is a difficult choice. Anyway, Standard Chartered Bank does not intervene in its operations and only waits for dividends. Therefore, I choose to abstain!" Although the representative of Standard Chartered Bank abstained, compared with other people''s consent, the abstention of Standard Chartered Bank is already invaluable. Therefore, Roland Kadoorie has a trace of comfort and even a trace of gratitude in his face. Roland Kadoorie also understands the choice of Standard Chartered Bank. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, the best choice is to support the major shareholders and the second shareholders. Choosing to oppose it is the most unwise, and choosing to abstain can be considered a face-off. "Okay, now counting votes!" Although Liang Zhonghao is not the chairman of the board of directors, he is the chairman of the board of supervisors. The board of supervisors supervises the board of directors. It is elected by the general meeting of shareholders and is responsible to the general meeting of shareholders. In terms of counting votes, he, the chairman of the board of supervisors, should be present. Soon, according to everyone''s shareholding ratio, the statistics will be quickly obtained. The number of votes that agreed to re-elect the board of directors accounted for 68.2%. This proposal passed! Liang Zhonghao immediately made a decision and said: "Agreeing votes accounted for 68.2% of the votes. The proposal is approved. From now on, the previous board of directors is dissolved and the board of directors is re-elected!" "According to the company''s articles of association, for every 5% of the shares held, one will automatically get a board seat, because my Liang family has six board seats, and the previous six directors will remain unchanged for the time being." Ji Wei said aloud at this time: "Our shareholding ratio exceeds 20% and we have obtained four director seats. I will recommend the specific personnel later. At present, the voting rights are unified in my hands." Excluding the shares of Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei, even if the shares of others are used collectively, they can only have at most nine director seats, which is still less than two. Obviously, the board of directors that has not yet been fully elected is also controlled by Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei. A similar scene happened again. This is simply not letting people play. Roland Kadoorie understood the situation and gave up the fearless struggle sat on the stool blankly, watching what he thought was a ridiculous farce. Next, Liang Zhonghao continued to push forward. The shareholders present who had a seat on the board of directors voted again. More than half of the board voted in agreement and passed Liang Zhonghao''s proposal for Ji Wei to be the chairman of the new board of directors. In less than an hour, the name of the chairman of the board of directors was transferred from Roland''s Kadoorie to Ji Wei. From this moment on, Roland Kadoorie officially lost control of the Hong Kong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group. When the meeting was over, the other minority shareholders left the meeting first, leaving only Liang Zhonghao, Ji Wei and Roland Kadoorie. Rolandz Kadoorie looked at the two sarcastically, and said with a sneer: "Why, do you have any plans against me?" Ji Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Kadoorie, you can''t say that. In fact, I just have a proposal. I hope you will sell me the shares of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group." () v3 Chapter 819: 1. Press it on the ground during operation Roland Kadoorie looked at Ji Wei sternly, and said with a sneer: "If you want my equity, you are dreaming. Even if you take away the right to operate the company, don¡¯t want to take my equity." After finishing speaking, Roland Kadoorie looked at Liang Zhonghao, instead of staring at him for a moment, he said inexplicably, "Mr. Liang, I deeply regret your family''s choice. I hope you will not regret your choice!" Liang Zhonghao smiled bluntly and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, it is difficult to say clearly about business matters. Since we have made a decision, of course we will not regret it." "But Mr. Kadoorie, I suggest that you still transfer the equity to Mr. Ji, it is better than having another struggle." Ji Wei smiled and persuaded: "Mr. Kadoorie, Mr. Liang''s words are very pertinent. Those who do big things will never be arrogant and will only choose the most favorable direction." Roland Kadoorie couldn''t help laughing, and his heart was burning with anger. It was ridiculous that two young men explained the truth to him in front of him! Obviously he was the victim, and the profit-seeker in front of him had a false face for him, which was really disgusting to him. He snorted coldly, got up to leave, and resolutely said: "Even if my equity is sold to anyone, it won''t be sold to you. You never want to get it!" After speaking, Roland Kadoorie walked away. Just as Rolandus Kadoorie was about to walk out of the meeting room door, a quiet voice of Ji Wei sounded behind him: "Mr. Kadoorie, why bother? Even if you disagree, the board of directors can still approve the private placement of shares. You can''t resist it! " Hearing this, Roland Kadoorie''s blood surged to his head, bruises on his face. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and left without looking back, disappearing into the vision of Ji Wei and Liang Zhonghaolai. "It seems that Roland Kadoori has chosen to resist. Ji Sheng, our Liang family has tried our best." Liang Zhonghao sighed regretfully, seeming to blame himself for not being able to help Ji Wei. Ji Wei smiled and said: "Liang Sheng don''t care, you have helped us a lot. We remember this favor, and I will report to the chairman." Hearing this, Liang Zhonghao''s eyes flashed with joy. This is all in Ji Wei''s eyes. He smiled secretly, proud of his background, and then said: "Liang Sheng, I still need your help next, to complete the privatization of the company and private placement of stocks also needs your help." Liang Zhonghao hurriedly laughed and said, "This is what I should do. It should not be too late. Let''s come up with a plan today, and we will hold a board meeting again tomorrow?" "This is the best!" Ji Wei smiled. Regardless of whether the equity held by Roland Kadoorie can be sold or not, after taking control of the board of directors, there are ways to deal with him. The simplest is to issue private placements. As long as the board of directors passes half of the votes, it can be executed. At that time, it only needs to be issued to Jiuding Hotel Management Group, and he can buy it at a low price. With the issuance of additional shares, Roland Kadoorie¡¯s equity ratio will naturally be diluted and reduced. Of course others will also be diluted. However, the Liang family has already signed a secret agreement with Xia Yu. It doesn''t matter how much the equity is. Anyway, after the final privatization, the company will be split on the basis of assets. Judging from the current situation, after the split, it still needs to be funded by Jiuding Hotel Management Group. It is the same to make up first and make up later. Anyway, the Liang family will not lose. It can also help Xia Yu and reduce the unexpected risk of Roland''s Kadoorie counterattack. Why not do it! ... What happened in the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group in the morning was inevitably spread. Those who heard the news were dumbfounded, and they seemed to be unable to believe what they heard. The Peninsula Hotel is the jewel of the Hong Kong Shanghu Hotel Group and one of the top ten hotels in the world. It has a huge influence and has been operated by the Kadoorie family since 1890. Even though the Kadoorie family''s shareholding ratio is not high, the outside world has always regarded it as the diamond on the Kadoorie family''s crown, symbolizing the honor of the Kadoorie family. But this is such a company that changed completely in one morning. Without the outside world¡¯s knowledge, the Jiuding Hotel Management Group emerged from the company and took away the management power. The old Jianghu Roland Kadoorie took over from the chairman of the board of directors. The position was easily driven down, this is simply the biggest joke today! How to not let the outside world be shocked? Whether it is the bigwigs or the people who eat melons, they all feel dreamy about this. Apart from the Kadoorie family, it was Norman Shiyahuai who responded the most. After hearing the news, he couldn''t calm down for a long time, and when he felt sad for Roland Kadoorie, his inner vigilance also reached the peak. Then, he immediately called to the Kadoorie family to meet with Rolandz Kadoorie, wanting to know the specifics. Roland Kadoorie just wanted to ask for help. After receiving a call from Norman Shiyahuai, he set off without saying a word. What the two talked about is unknown. Xia Yu was not interested either. After all, in the face of absolute strength, any trick is useless! After listening to Ji Wei''s report, Xia Yu immediately ordered Ji Wei to follow his order and let the companies under the consortium that can contribute to help target the acquisition of the equity of those small shareholders, and at the same time assist in the privatization of the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group. If we say that before, those small shareholders were unwilling to sell equity. However, after today''s scene of changing the world, these small shareholders already know that the general situation is inevitable, and choosing to take the money to escape the whirlpool is the best way. Therefore, after several companies entrusted by Ji Wei found the minority shareholders, they easily took the equity. By the end of the afternoon, four minority shareholders were taken down, and a total of 9.7% of the shares were acquired. Jiuding Hotel Management Group''s shareholding ratio soared to 29.9% in one fell swoop. If you count the 5.7% stake held by Standard Chartered Bank, which has not yet revealed its position, the position of the largest shareholder has actually changed. Moreover, the joint shareholding ratio of the Jiuding Consortium and the two companies has reached 66.6%. Only 0.1% of the equity can reach two-thirds. No one can stop the will of the Jiuding Consortium. , Not even at all! In the morning of the next day, the media gathered at the door of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group, and a new board of directors was being held inside. It is a pity that Roland Kadoorie directly refused to participate this time. But it doesn''t matter, as long as more than two-thirds are present, it''s OK. At the meeting, the new chairman Ji Wei came up with an agreement on private placement of shares, and naturally passed it without any suspense. The original share capital of the group was 100 million shares, and another 20 million additional shares were issued. The designated target for the additional issuance was Jiuding Bank. The additional issuance was made at a price of 12 yuan per share, which is lower than the price of 14. For the company¡¯s expansion. So far, the total share capital of the group has expanded to 120 million shares. Jiuding Hotel Management Group holds 29.9 million shares, and the shareholding ratio has dropped to 24.9%. The Liang family holds 31 million shares, accounting for 25.83% of the company''s equity, and is still the largest shareholder. The third largest shareholder is Jiuding Bank, with a shareholding ratio of 16.67%. The original third largest shareholder, the Kadoorie family with a 16.7% shareholding ratio, dropped to 13.9% and became the fourth largest shareholder. The shareholding ratios of other minority shareholders are also diluted, and they have no resistance and can only accept passively. In this way, even if Standard Chartered Bank is not included, the total shareholding ratio of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, Jiuding Bank and Liang''s family is 67.4%, accounting for two-thirds of the company¡¯s stock. the above. At this point, Ji Wei took advantage of the victory and held a board meeting in the afternoon to propose the company''s delisting and spin-off. The proposal was passed again. Then, in the name of the company, he applied to the exchange for suspension and delisting, and to prepare for the next spin-off, a standard accounting firm settled in and began to account for assets. This set of sorrow operations was executed consistently, and the outsiders were stunned. What followed was a pity for the Kadoorie family. The Kadoorie family is completely helpless and can be squeezed by others. At any rate, it is a large British-owned family that is well-known in Hong Kong. It has been so easily cleaned up after so long? The discerning person can already see that the Kadoorie family has no retreat. Although the current shareholding ratio is 13.9%, who knows if it will drop again tomorrow? The board of directors is controlled by the Jiuding Consortium, and when it goes public, additional shares will be issued to dilute the equity. After privatization, the rich man of Jiuding Bank can dilute the equity again and again. Anyway, the money is transferred from one account to another. As long as Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group does not use it, the money is kept in Jiuding Bank. Time after time, as long as the Kadoorie family''s shareholding ratio drops below 10%, then the Jiuding Consortium can launch compulsory acquisition measures. The equity held by the Kadoorie family must be sold if not sold! The difference is just who the Kadoorie family finds to attract hatred. But it is conceivable that by that time no one should dare to risk offending the Jiuding Consortium to take over. Even the Taikoo Consortium will not do this, because it is just a struggle to take over. . Although Roland Kadoorie did not participate in the board of directors and has been with Shi Yahuai''s family, he has been paying close attention. When he heard the news, he almost spewed out old blood, his face flushed, and cursed Ji Wei and Liang Zhonghao as shameless. After scolding, he slumped on a stool and had to accept this cruel reality. "Rolandz, things have reached this point, it seems you can only compromise." Norman Shi Yahuai, who was sitting aside, sighed and said comfortingly. Roland Kadoorie slowly raised his head to look at Norman Shiyahuai, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Norman, what happened to this point is because of the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. Because of this, I suffered a huge amount of money. Loss, what do you say?" After finishing speaking, Roland Kadoorie stared at Norman Shi Yahuai. () v3 Chapter 820: unexpected surprise At this time, if Roland Kadoorie does not regret it, it is absolutely false. For the sake of an unimportant share of HeungKong Telephone Company, the jewel in the hands of his family is about to be lost. The management right of this hotel was passed on to him by his father, Eli Kadoorie, but now the family strength exceeds the previous Lost on the occasion of the peak. The Kadoorie family''s face is lost! He is also over eighty years old, and there is not much time to live. If he enters heaven in the future, how should he face his father? Not only that, but also attracted the target of Jiuding Consortium. I thought that the Taikoo Consortium would be able to help, but who knew that the Jiuding Consortium¡¯s methods were so sharp that the Swire Consortium hadn¡¯t even reacted to it, and things were a foregone conclusion. But now that the matter has reached this level, it is too late to regret it. All Roland Kadoorie can think of is to quickly make up for the loss or avoid greater losses. If the Taikoo Consortium is not able to do anything, he will have to make Norman Shiyahuai difficult to do! Roland Kadoorie secretly made a decision in his heart, the big deal is to surrender and avoid greater losses, what about the Swire Consortium, what to do with him! Norman Shiyahuai also heard something wrong in Roland''s Kadoorie''s tone. His heart sank and he meditated for a while and slowly said: "Roland, I really regret what happened these two days. I didn''t expect the Jiuding Consortium to start so quickly. It''s almost too late for us to react. They already calculated it." Roland Kadoorie said in an interface: "Norman, I understand all of this. I am not to blame you. I just want to know, what should I do next? According to the current trend, our Kadoorie family has reached the most dangerous time." "My equity has been diluted, I can''t predict what will happen next, and I can''t stop it." "Furthermore, the company controlled by the Kadoorie family, but also the China Light and Power Company is a listed company. If they are also attacked, it will be a huge trouble." "Norman, I must prepare enough funds to withstand risks. I can only withdraw from the acquisition of the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company." After speaking, he looked at Norman Shi Yahuai with scorching eyes. He must ask for Norman Shi Yahuai''s affirmative reply, otherwise he will not be at ease! Norman Shi Yahuai was in a complicated mood, and slightly nodded and said: "The newly acquired shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company can all be transferred to me." "The equity held by Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group depends on how you choose." "You can rest assured that China Light and Power Corporation holds a total of 45% of the shares. The risk is very small. The second largest shareholder, Standard Chartered Bank, has a close relationship with us and the competition with Jiuding Bank is tense. Sell ??the equity to them." Hearing what Norman Shiyahuai said, Roland Kadao idealized the performance of the representative of Standard Chartered Bank yesterday, with a little stability in his heart, and greater confidence in Standard Chartered Bank. But Norman Shiyahuai said so, and did not come up with many real promises. Roland Kadoorie was not satisfied. He said in a deep voice, "Norman, no matter what, I still need to prepare enough funds. You must give me support." Norman Shiyahuai nodded without hesitation and said: "No problem, I will contact the financial institution, and I will lend another 200 million Hong Kong dollars today and tomorrow to ensure that I can support you at any time." "By the way, Roland, aren''t you still the chairman of the board of Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd. The Schroder Group is far stronger than our Swire consortium. Don''t forget to ask for help from there." Baoyuan Investment Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. is a financial investment company that provides customers with high-quality asset management and investment services. There are three major shareholders, namely the Schroder Group, the major shareholder holding 45% of the shares. Thirty-five percent of Standard Chartered Bank, and the Kadoorie family, which holds 20 percent. The Schroder Group was founded in 1804 and has a history of more than 170 years. It is an internationally renowned asset management group headquartered in London. It is a financial giant in the United Kingdom. The later generation Schroder Group manages assets up to 2,000 globally. More than 60 billion US dollars. Baoyuan Investment Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., although the Schroder Group is the largest shareholder, has handed over the management and management power to the Kadoorie family, which shows that the Schroder Group still has a lot of trust in the Kadoorie family. That''s why Norman Shiyahuai made this suggestion and asked Rolandz Kadoorie to ask the financial giant for help. Roland Kadoorie nodded and said faintly: "I understand..." ... On the way back, Roland Kadoorie leaned on the leather seat of the car seat, carefully thinking about how to deal with the shares of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group. The loss is a foregone conclusion, but he is not reconciled to directly sell the equity to Ji Wei. Even if the struggle is useless, he will have to delay it a little longer, making Ji Wei and Liang Zhonghao more troublesome. At special times, it may not be impossible to hold equity as a bargaining chip. Halfway through, Roland Kadoorie turned to Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd., and ordered the company''s employees to set up an acquisition team to secretly purchase shares of China Light & Power Company. He had no choice but to make this move. It was because his strength was not strong enough to acquire China Light & Power Corporation. The Kadoorie family now holds 34% of CLP Power¡¯s shares. When the CLP Power Company is still listed, as long as the Kadoorie family holds more than 35% of the shares, they have to give all Shareholders initiate a takeover invitation to conduct a comprehensive acquisition. If this news leaked out, you don¡¯t need to think about it. Jiuding Consortium will come forward to make trouble. It will cause the stock price to skyrocket, which will greatly increase the acquisition cost of the Kadoorie family. With the strength of the Kadoorie family, the probability of failure is too high, and it is easy to be taken by the Jiuding Consortium. If the suppression continues, heavy losses will occur after the acquisition fails, and the stocks purchased at a high price will be sold at a low price, reducing the shareholding ratio to below 35 percent. It is precisely because of this concern that Roland Kadoorie thought of letting Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd., which he manages, come forward to purchase, and then transfer the shares to his family at a critical time. Even if you don''t transfer it, it doesn''t hurt to put Baoyuan Investment in the hands of a limited company. With the support of Schroder and Standard Chartered Bank, there is no need to worry about going wrong. There is no safer way to be a white knight for yourself! Roland Kadoorie thought he was doing it well, but he didn''t know that Standard Chartered Bank was a time bomb. As soon as he arranged for the secret purchase of China Light & Power Corporation''s stock, the news reached the ears of Standard Chartered President Gals Liddell. Upon hearing this news, Gals Liddell thought he had heard it wrong. After repeated confirmations, he immediately ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the actions of the China Light & Power Corporation stock acquisition team Then, he He sent someone to pass the news to Xia Yu. Xia Yu, who was about to go to Loshill and his son Heung Kong Co., Ltd., became more confident about taking the China Power Company after learning the news. If Roland Kadoorie wants to buy, buy it. Wait until the peaches are ripe, and then take it in one fell swoop. At that time, it was worthwhile for Standard Chartered to jump over. The victory of the Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group has been determined, and the China Light and Power Company''s competition plan also takes the initiative. Then the Hong Kong Telephone Company, which has the least success rate, must work hard. With the resources of the Rohill family, it is natural to make full use of them. Shi Yahuai family can not give him face, always dare not give face to Rohir family, right? Soon, Xia Yu quietly came to Rohill and his son Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., and met Charles Rohill, who was already waiting at the company. () v3 Chapter 821: Temptation and coercion "Mr. Xia, you are welcome!" Charles Rohill smiled and was very enthusiastic about Xia Yu. "Mr. Charles, I''m sorry to disturb you again." "How come, it is my honour for Mr. Xia to come to our company, please come in!" After a short greeting, Charles Rohill led Xia Yu into the office. "Mr. Charles, I am here this time. I have a business that wants to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are not interested?" After a few small talks, Xia Yu was straight to the point and understood what he wanted. In fact, before Xia Yu made an appointment, Charles Rohill roughly guessed Xia Yu''s intentions, and he also called the family head Jacob Rohill and got the order to make a preparation plan. With confidence, he smiled slightly, made a please gesture, and said, "Of course I am interested. Every time I work with Mr. Xia, I am very happy, and with the relationship between our two families, we will work hard to complete your business. " Xia Yu smiled when he heard the words, and nodded and said, "If this is the case, then I''ll just say it." "Mr. Charles should know that I am acquiring shares of HeungKong Telephone Company, but at present, there is still a certain degree of difficulty. I hope you can assist me in acquiring HeungKong Telephone Company." It really is this thing! Charles Rohill said inwardly. Fortunately, he has already contacted Jacob Rohill and received instructions that if Xia Yu seeks help in this matter, he must do his best to help him. As for the reason, the patriarch Jacob Roshir also explained to him that it was nothing more than carrying out the original plan to consume Xia Yu''s funds as much as possible, and also to dispel Xia Yu''s suspicion. After all, the influence of the monitoring situation is still there, and the Rosier family who has a ghost in their hearts also wants to clear their own suspicions. The best way is undoubtedly to help Xia Yu acquire the Xiangjiang Telephone Company. Anyway, the plan has failed and cannot be reused in the future. Xia Yu''s acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company will not have a major impact on the Rothschild family. At best, Xia Yu''s influence on Xiangjiang is a step further. But when the Rohill family wants to come, a small place in Xiangjiang District, the growth limit has been fixed. Even if Xia Yu builds Xiangjiang into Tietong, his influence in the world is limited. Xia Yu will build his nest if he wants to. The consortium doesn''t have a place of its own? Compared with the foundations of the world''s major consortia, the current Xiangjiang is really nothing to worry about. Just listen to Charles Rohill smiling and nodding: "Mr. Xia, although this matter is a bit difficult, we are still certain that we can give it a try, but it will take some time." Xia Yu smiled and said: "I know that in Xiangjiang, if there is a problem that can''t be solved, it is correct to find you, then I look forward to Mr. Charles''s answer!" "no problem¡­¡­" Next, Xia Yu and Charles Rohill discussed the cooperation business in detail for a long time before leaving. ... After sending Xia Yu away, Charles Lowhill immediately summoned the company¡¯s elite and formulated a complete acquisition plan. The first step was to target British shareholders other than the four major shareholders of the Swire Consortium, Jiuding Securities, Hong Kong and the Kadoorie Family. Minority shareholders. As long as you have completed the first step, you will find the Swire Consortium next. Two days passed in a flash. The smell of gunpowder in the stock market has faded a lot. The reason is that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has died down and no longer rushes to raise the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. It seems to have given up, disappointing the people who are waiting for the big show. Practitioners in the financial industry, as well as a lot of bigwigs, are also confused. I don''t know what Jiuding Securities is doing. Is it because they know that the winning rate is too low and they choose to give up the acquisition? As the saying goes, it¡¯s unrealistic for the Swire Consortium to unilaterally rely on the acquisition of stocks to increase the stock price of Jiuding Securities Co. The downward trend. Just when Norman Shiyahuai was puzzled, Charles Rohill suddenly came to visit him. "Mr. Rohill, welcome, I was so surprised to see you!" Norman Shiyahuai solemnly welcomed Charles Rohill. Although in Hong Kong, the strength of the Swire Consortium is much higher than that of Charles Lowhill''s Roshill and his son Hong Kong Co., Ltd., but in the UK and the whole world, the Swire Consortium is far behind the Roshill family. Therefore, even if it was only Charles Rohill, the head of Xiangjiang, Norman Shi Yahuai gave the greatest courtesy and attention. "Haha, Mr. Shi Yahuai, it''s true that we haven''t seen each other for a long time. I''m so glad to see you." Charles Rohill said with a smile. "Mr. Rohill, please come inside. I just got a batch of the best cat feces coffee. You must try it." "Oh? It seems that I''m here at the right time, so I''m not welcome..." Soon, in the luxurious living room of the Shi Yahuai family, Charles Rohill tasted the cat feces coffee ground by Norman Shi Yahuai himself. "Um~ the taste is really great, I like it." After taking a sip, Charles Rohill exclaimed from the heart. Seeing Charles Rohill satisfied, Norman Shiyahuai was in a good mood, and said to him: "Mr. Rohill, since you like it, you must bring two cans with you when you leave. This kind of coffee can only be enjoyed when you are like you. Only in the hands of the right people can we play the greatest value." Charles Rohill laughed and said, "Then I won''t be polite to you." After talking and laughing, Norman Shiyahuai gently put down the cup and asked calmly: "Mr. Rohill, take the liberty to ask, is there anything I need to do?" Charles Rohill smiled slowly, pondered for a moment, and when a premonition rose in Norman Shi Yahuai''s heart, he said: "There is indeed one thing. Maybe Mr. Shi Yahuai will feel embarrassed, but I got the family''s help. Instructed, I also had to come over brazenly." Hearing that it also involved the Rohill family in London, Norman Shiya was very dignified in his heart, and asked Charles Rohill to continue. "We want to acquire the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company you hold!" "what?" Norman Shi Yahuai opened his eyes and blurted out, his tone full of surprise and disbelief. He never thought that Charles Rohill''s goal would be this. A glimmer of light flashed in his mind, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Rohill, did the Jiuding Consortium entrust you to acquire it?" Charles Rohill smiled faintly and shook his head and said: "As for who it is, it is not convenient for me to disclose, after all, keeping secrets for our customers is the core purpose of our company." Norman Shi Yahuai¡¯s expression kept changing, but he became more sure of his conjecture. It took a long time before he refused in embarrassment: "Mr. Rohill, you should know that now I am competing with Jiuding Securities for the Xiangjiang Telephone Company. This is no longer true. Restricted to the ownership of one company, it involves a face-to-face dispute between the two parties. If I abandon the acquisition, then in the eyes of the outside world, Swire Group has failed and will cause a series of bad effects, so..." Just when Norman Shiyahuai was about to say the words of rejection, Charles Rohill suddenly interrupted him and said with a smile: "Mr. Shiyahuai, don''t be too busy to refuse, you might as well listen to my terms. ." Norman Shi Yahuai hurriedly got stuck in the conversation, took a deep breath, and said, "Please speak!" Charles Rohill said slowly: "We intend to barter. As long as Mr. Shi Yahuai sells us the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, then we will use the British North Sea Container and Supply Company as bargaining chips. The other party contributes to make up." Norman Shiyahuai''s gaze narrowed, and his heart was ready to move, obviously very tempted by Charles Rohill''s chips. Looking at Charles Rohill, who was smiling at him, Norman Shiyahuai couldn''t refuse. This bargaining chip is really too tempting. Compared to losing the losses of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, as long as you get the British North Sea Container and Supply Company, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The North Sea Container and Supply Company is the target that Swire Group has always wanted to acquire. This is a supplier that specializes in North Sea transportation equipment. Beginning last year, Swire Group made strategic adjustments and officially began to try to invest in offshore oil business. Especially from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the sharp increase in oil prices stimulated the Shi Yahuai family and strengthened their determination to develop the oil business. However, in the past year, this highly anticipated business has not developed smoothly. One of the most important points is that the transportation industry chain is imperfect and the neck is pinched, resulting in no advantage in all aspects. After learning from the pain, Swire Group plans to first improve its foundation, find a location to gain a certain right to speak, and then use this to reverse the expansion of its oil business, and after consideration, it plans to acquire an oil transportation equipment supplier. It is a pity that the Shi Yahuai family was regarded as a wealthy countryman in the eyes of the great British nobles, which caused the Swire Group''s business progress to be quite unsatisfactory. Now suddenly there is an opportunity, Norman Shi Yahuai suddenly feels like a bright future, how he is willing to refuse. Maybe if you miss this village, there will be no such shop! Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai¡¯s face changing constantly, Charles Rohill smiled secretly and continued: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, HeungKong Telephone Company is not the core company of Swire Group. It is only a marginal company with partial shares. As a successful Businessmen should understand that the pound is more important than the so-called face." Want face or lining? Which is better? Do you want to agree? In Norman Shi Yahuai''s mind, two villains, one white and the other black, were arguing fiercely Norman Shi Yahuai''s consideration took more than ten minutes. The coffee in Charles Rohill''s cup also unknowingly bottomed out. Seeing that Norman Shiyahuai had not yet decided on such a simple problem, Charles Rohill was a little impatient. He thought for a while and said quietly, "Mr. Shi Yahuai, does this need to be considered for so long? If you don''t seize the opportunity this time, if you want to set foot in the North Sea oil field in the future, the difficulty will increase by several levels." The fluttering words fell into Norman Shi Yahuai''s ears, but they were like thunder, which shocked Norman Shi Yahuai''s heart. Is this a threat from the Rohill family? He suddenly looked at Charles Rohill, and saw the latter''s faint smile, but he could not feel a trace of warmth, and an unknown anger rose in his heart. v3 Chapter 822: Allies are sold Although his heart was extremely angry, Norman Shi Yahuai had to force himself to hold it back. Charles Rohill dared to say so, he would dare to do it, and he didn''t want to bear the consequences. With the strength of the Shi Yahuai family, he offended the Roshir family, and the end is not much better. Even if the Roshir family does not deliberately target them, it will block the way for the Shi Yahuai family to rise. In the past two years, I have witnessed the destruction of the Jardine Consortium and the embezzlement of Hutchison Whampoa. There are only two of the four major British consortiums left in Hong Kong. Wheelock is currently not doing well. The deterrence and influence of the British consortium are also not as good as before. Norman Shiyahuai had to find a way for himself. In Xiangjiang, there are major Chinese consortiums that are growing up day by day, as well as the aggressive and powerful Jiuding consortium, which is doomed to conflict between the Swire consortium and Chinese capital in the future. Norman Shiyahuai asked himself that he did not have enough confidence to resist. Not to mention there are unstable political factors. If the future of Hong Kong is slim and the way out of the UK is blocked, the Swire Consortium will really be in trouble. It can be said that Charles Rohill gave him a choice of life and death. If you agree, the Swire Consortium will open up a new way, and it will also be able to avoid further conflicts with the Jiuding Consortium. The disadvantage is that it loses face and has a series of undesirable effects. If you don¡¯t agree, you will offend the Jiuding Consortium and the Roshir family at the same time... Forget it, the dead Daoist is not the poor Dao. Suddenly this unexpected situation occurred and he had to sell the Kadoorie family. With the intervention of the Roshir family, the Jiuding Consortium specifically targeted the Kadoorie family not necessarily against the past, and even if it passed, its strength would be sharply reduced. The Kadoorie family, whose strength has been drastically reduced, can only hold back even if it is hostile to the Taikoo consortium. Allies, aren¡¯t they sold at critical moments? After the decision, he looked at Charles Rohill, who was a little indifferent. Norman Shiyahuai took a deep breath, squeezed a blunt smile, and said with difficulty: "Mr. Rohill, let''s talk about the details. detail?" Seeing Norman Shiyahuai resolutely subdued, Charles Rohill was not surprised, smiled and nodded and said: "No problem..." ... Norman Shiya subdued with wit, and the negotiation was naturally simple. A day later, at the headquarters of the Swire Group, Charles Rohill and Norman Shiyahuai signed and exchanged agreements, symbolizing the official completion of the acquisition. The 27.8% of the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company were transferred to Roche. In the hands of Er and Son Heung Kong Co., Ltd. Except for the original 24.5% held by Swire Group, the remaining 3.3% of these shares were acquired from the secondary market. Originally, half of the shares were to be distributed to the Kadoorie family, but Roland Kadoorie has made it clear that it will not, so it will naturally belong to the Swire Group. "Mr. Lowhill, the North Sea container and supply company will need to bother you more." Wiping the unwillingness in his heart, Norman Shi Yahuai said to Charles Rohill with a smile on his face. For the cooperation between the two parties, a cooperation agreement has been signed. Swire Group first transfers the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company, and Rothschild and Son HeungKong Co., Ltd. is responsible for helping Swire Group acquire Beihai Container and Supply Company. Of course Norman Shiyahuai is not stupid. The agreement also states that if Rohill and his son Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. cannot complete the acquisition, Swire Group will not recover the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but Charles Rohill¡¯s company Need to compensate 100 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidated damages. As for trading the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company, it is a different matter. The money must be settled, but there is only one month of operation time. The requirement is that Rothschild and Heung Kong Co., Ltd. will help Swire Group complete the acquisition of the North Sea Container and Supply Company within one month. If the deadline cannot be completed, the money needs to be settled, and the transaction will be renewed after the acquisition is completed. All in all, Norman Shiyahuai is very cautious in cooperating with Charles Rohill. Although he has bowed his head, he still bites his mouth when it is time to guard the bottom line. Charles Rohill accepted it as soon as he saw it, and agreed to several reasonable and normal demands of Norman Shiyahuai. "Mr. Shi Yahuai, please rest assured, our family is the most honest, since you have promised you, you will definitely do it, and you just have to be ready to take over the company." Charles Rohill said with a smile. "Then I am looking forward to the good news from Mr. Rohill!" Norman Shiya smiled. Just when he thought the matter was over, he didn''t expect Charles Rohill to collect the agreement and make a new request. "Mr. Shi Yahuai, this cooperation has ended, I have one more thing I want to talk to you." Norman Shiya''s smile froze for an instant, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, "Mr. Rohill, please speak." Charles Rohill looked natural and said with a smile: "Doesn''t Swire Group hold 11% of China Power Corporation? We are interested in this equity and hope that Mr. Shi Yahuai can cut love." "Fortunately..." Norman Shi Yahuai was taken aback for a moment, then secretly relieved, and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, it is not the core company of the Swire Consortium, but only part of its shareholding. Even if it is lost, it would be a pity. Anyway, this company is owned by the Kadoorie family and not operated by the Swire Consortium. It''s just that Norman Shiyahuai felt sorry for Roland Kadoorie in his heart. What Roland Kadoorie was worried about really happened. First, he lost the Hong Kong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group, and now he is targeted at China Light & Power Corporation. Rothschild Heung Kong Co., Ltd. is only a pure financial institution, one of its core businesses is corporate mergers and acquisitions, so this time it is obviously acquired for the Jiuding Consortium. Anyway, the alliance with the Kadoorie family has been betrayed, and it is irreversible. Then simply do the bad things and destroy the Kadoorie family, so that the Kadoorie family will have no strength to retaliate. It happened to save him another 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash for the Kadoorie family. He can also withdraw some funds to improve the anti-risk ability of the Swire Consortium and increase investment freedom. "Mr. Lowhill, as long as the price is right, this equity can also be transferred." "Then let''s talk again..." After some intense negotiations, the shares of China Power Corporation were finally transferred at a premium of 10%. In addition, Charles Rohill also signed a secret agreement to temporarily entrust the Swire Group to hold it. Norman Shiyahuai didn''t know what Charles Rohill''s move meant, but he didn''t want to know, as long as the money was available. ... The next day, Charles Rohill called Xia Yu and invited him to come again to complete the delivery procedures. Xia Yu immediately took his subordinates there and signed a contract with Rothschild HeungKong Co., Ltd., at a price of 42 Hong Kong dollars per share, and won 5.56 million shares of HeungKong Telephone Company, with a total investment of 230 million. Thousands of five hundred and fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars. At this point, plus the 20.3% equity held by Jiuding Securities and the 5.1% equity held by Standard Chartered Bank, the Jiuding Consortium has effectively held 53.2% of the shares. Xiangjiang Telephone Company has already got it. However, taking into account special circumstances, Xia Yu does not intend to privatize the Hong Kong Telephone Company now. After all, the Hong Kong government is involved. At this juncture, the whole Hong Kong is watching. In the eyes of sensitive user privacy issues, the Hong Kong government does not Must be willing to let Xia Yu privatize Xiangjiang Telephone Company. Moreover, the Hong Kong stock market has exceeded 1,000 points now. Although there will be a rise in the future, Xia Yu knows that there will be a stock market crash. At that time, privatization is the most cost-effective. "Mr. Lowhill, thank you for your help!" After asking his subordinates to accept the contract, Xia Yu shook hands with Charles Rohill to thank him. "Mr. Xia, this is what we should do. I am very happy to be able to help you and look forward to our future cooperation." Charles Rohill said with a smile. In just a few days, he earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and also won Xia Yu''s favor, and completed the family mission. How could he be unhappy? What''s more, in the future, in the China Light and Power Company, you can also make a fortune. Xia Yu is definitely his **** of wealth and his biggest customer this year. "Of course, I also look forward to future cooperation!" Xia Yu smiled. After speaking, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked: "By the way, Mr. Rohill, take the liberty to ask, how did you get Swire Group to transfer equity?" Charles Rohill didn''t hide it, and he meant to show off his family''s strength, saying: "It just happened that Swire Group was frustrated in the North Sea oil field. We were able to help them acquire a company in exchange." it is as expected! Xia Yu knew that this was the advantage of a large consortium. With countless internal resources or amazing connections, he could easily take out other people''s extremely tempting things in exchange for what he wanted. Because of this, the strong can remain strong. Of course, this is also the reason why he used the Rosil family''s resources to accelerate his own growth. After a few chattering words again, Xia Yu said goodbye. After returning, Xia Yu dealt with the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, letting Jiuding Industrial Group hold 33%, Jiuding Securities Company holds 5%, Tiangong Electronics holds 5%, and Jiuding Bank Standard Chartered Bank, which holds 5.1% of the shares, also holds 5.1% of the shares. After the division, the Jiuding Consortium has ten director seats and can control the Hong Kong Telephone Company, not to mention that the Hong Kong government will definitely give him face and support his rule. Subsequently, Xia Yu immediately sent someone to the exchange to update the equity information ~ www.novelhall.com ~ When the latest equity information of HeungKong Telephone Company was disclosed, the whole Hong Kong was in an uproar. They were still waiting to watch the excitement. Who knew that the Jiuding Consortium was silent, so they let the Taikoo Consortium bow its head and quickly completed the rule of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. The most shocked is Roland Kadoorie, who is making all his efforts to secretly purchase shares of China Light and Power Company. He can''t believe that Norman Shiyahuai would bow his head so easily. Feeling uncomfortable, he immediately called the Swire Group and Shi Yahuai''s family, but was told that Norman Shi Yahuai had gone to London and was no longer Xiangjiang. Realizing that he was being cheated, Roland Kadoorie scolded Norman Shi Yahuai and immediately initiated a takeover offer to Swire Group, wanting to acquire 11% of the shares of China Power Company held by Swire Group. As soon as the news was reported, the initially disappointed melon-eaters immediately realized that there were more exciting follow-ups, and they all turned their attention to the Jiuding Consortium. Sure enough, Xia Yu did not disappoint the people eating melons. v3 Chapter 823: Full attack The Kadoorie family has jumped out and proactively issued a takeover offer to Swire Group, and Xia Yu also realized that he could not wait. He first counted the number of shares he already had. Standard Chartered Bank originally held 23.4% of the equity, and then used bank resources to acquire a cumulative 5.2% of the equity from a few minority shareholders, so it held 28.6%. Of course, because of the signing of a confidentiality agreement and a ten-day buffer period, the equity of Standard Chartered Bank has not changed. As for Jiuding Bank, it has already won the five minority shareholders, and its shareholding ratio has reached 8.8%. In the end, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. not only targeted some minority shareholders to purchase stocks, but also absorbed them from the secondary market. Of course, they also bought some shares of China Light & Power Corporation when investing. Therefore, when Xia Yu asked about the situation, Jiuding Securities'' shareholding ratio had reached 8.1%. According to statistics, the current Xia Yu party has reached 45.5%, exceeding the 11.5% ratio of the Kadoorie family, the largest shareholder of the company. Such a high shareholding ratio, completed in such a short period of time, is inseparable from the resources of the Jiuding Consortium. The stronger the strength, the easier it is to do things that seemed rare before. Such a high shareholding is only 4.5% short of more than 50%. If this is not taken down, Xia Yu''s stock **** name can be thrown directly into the pit! Therefore, Xia Yu gave an order and directly ordered Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. to switch from the dark to the open, and start to do it openly. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. directly increased the quotation of 0.2 Hong Kong dollars and placed a 1,000-lot buy order, and at the same time issued quotations to several more determined minority shareholders. In addition, Jiuding Securities also initiated a takeover offer to Swire Group and intervened in the acquisition. Seeing this situation, Norman Shiyahuai, who had arrived in the UK, was heartbroken after hearing his son''s report. Fortunately, he thought of Charles Rohill''s promise, and the future of Swire Group in the oil field appeared in his mind, and he was in a good mood. As for the acquisition invitation of the Kadoorie family and Jiuding Securities Company, Norman Shi Yahuai told his son, but he refused directly without discussing it. The equity is gone, what''s more to talk about! Of course Norman Shi Yahuai also told his son not to leak out the stock rights of China Power Company, so as not to undermine Charles Rohill''s calculations. It would be bad if the Rohill family was offended. After all, Shi Yahuai''s family strength is far less than Luo. The Hill family is even more demanding at this time. ... "boom!" "Damn Norman Shiyahuai, he is a traitor!" In Kowloon, the Kadoorie family smashed in, another call showed that the unanswered Roland Kadoorie broke out in anger. He directly smashed the microphone on the marble table, the microphone directly broke, and he cursed angrily. Seeing his father''s trembling all over, Michael Kadoorie was very angry, but he was even more worried about his father''s body. He quickly suppressed his anger and comforted his father: "Father, you have to pay attention to your body. This is already the case, and you are very angry about it. The body is not worth it." But how can Rolandz Kadoorie calm down? He thought of being at Norman Shiyahuai''s house a few days ago, and the latter promised him that he would stick to the alliance. But only a few days later, Norman Shi Yahuai concealed from him, and directly treached his faith, but he was miserable! Now the phone can''t get through, and the takeover invitation is directly rejected. Norman Shi Yahuai''s attitude is already a lice on the monk''s head-it is obvious. The only good point is that at present, it seems that Swire Group¡¯s 11% equity interest in China Power Company is not in the hands of the Jiuding Consortium. This is a blessing in misfortune. "Huhuhu..." The more I thought about it, the more angry Roland Kadoorie became. Although he was panting, he still felt hypoxia, and his eyes turned dark. People in their early eighties are in poor health and really can''t stand stimulation. Seeing the old father shaking a little, Michael Kadoorie, who was in his prime, was frightened and asked with concern: "Father, you should lean on the sofa first. I''ll call the family doctor." "No, I just need to calm down!" Roland Kadoorie stopped his son''s actions and leaned on the leather sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Michael Kadoorie looked worriedly and waited quietly. After a long time, Roland S. Kadoorie finally recovered his calm. He slowly opened his eyes, showing a trace of fatigue on his face, and said to Michael Kadoorie: "This time our family can be said to have encountered the biggest one since World War II. Trouble, a bad one will lose a core industry again." As for the trouble during World War II, it was that the devils hit the eve of the Xiangjiang River. The British government ordered Roland Kadoorie¡¯s father, Ellie Kadoorie, to blow up the power plant on the Kowloon Peninsula. The Kadoorie family¡¯s inland properties were also confiscated by the devils. In addition, the Kadoorie family was caught in the camp of the devil, and Eli Kadoorie died in the camp. After the end of World War II, Roland Kadoorie was determined to restore the family business. Although he encountered many setbacks over the past few decades, it was never as dangerous as it is now, and it was so dangerous that he didn''t have a bottom line in his heart. "Father, our family still holds 34% of China Power Corporation''s equity. As long as we are willing to spend money, we can definitely keep it!" Michael Kadoorie said firmly to Rolandz Kadoorie. Roland Kadoorie sighed with a wry smile: "But the key is that the time is too short, and the funds raised now are not enough!" "Father, don¡¯t you let Baoyuan Investment Company acquire first? We can also borrow from HSBC or Schroder first to see if we can acquire the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank, as long as we acquire the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank. Equity, then no matter how the Jiuding Consortium competes, it is doomed to fail!" "If the equity of Standard Chartered Bank is bought by the Jiuding Consortium, then we are really in trouble!" "Of course, we can''t ignore those small shareholders. Although the acquisition will be more troublesome, as long as we get half of it, we can increase our family''s equity to more than 50%, which is also a way." Michael Kadao thought about it and suggested. Roland Kadoorie shook his head and said: "I found Gals Liddell. He did not agree or object. He will definitely plan to sit on the ground and raise the price. Now with such a good opportunity, he will not easily sell the shares to us. The key is Sufficient funds are still needed!" "It is simply not feasible to expect to borrow from Standard Chartered Bank to acquire the stocks held by Standard Chartered Bank. As for HSBC, given our current disadvantage, Shen Bi may not be able to help us much." "Those small shareholders, I also called one by one, but the situation was very bad, and they all found reasons to shirk. I don''t know if their equity was sold or if they plan to raise the price." "To sum up, the key is to have enough funds!" "Then you can only find Schroder Group!" Michael Kadoorie said immediately. "or¡­¡­" Seeing that Michael Kadoorie said a word and stopped saying it, Rolandz Kadoorie frowned and asked, "Or what?" Michael Kadoorie struggled for a moment, and said: "Or we will sell the shares of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group to cash out a sum of money to increase the shareholding of China Power Corporation." After that, Michael Kadoorie looked at his father nervously. This is the result of his thinking for a day. After all, he is still young, and his affection for the Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel is not as deep as his father''s, so he will not be affected by emotional factors when considering the pros and cons. There was an obvious anger on Roland''s Kadoorie''s face, but he immediately recovered his calm and fell into thinking. For a long time, he sighed and said: "You are right, anyway, the Hong Kong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group is doomed to lose. Rather than losing both of them, we should not cut off a bit and try our best to save China Power Corporation." "This matter will be left to you. The news is released to the outside world that the equity of Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group will be transferred. The Jiuding Consortium will definitely come. The difference is that they will show up on their own or entrust others to purchase. Under the premise of raising the price, sell it soon!" The battle for Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group has been divided. Although the equity held by the Kadoorie family is valuable, it is also very limited. Therefore, it is impossible to sell at too high a price. This is why Rolandz ¡¤ Kadoorie is also clear. "I will contact the Schroder Group and ask Baoyuan Investment Company to buy the stock." "Good father, don''t worry, I will not let you down!" ... Soon, the Kadoorie family released the news, and the news reached Xia Yu. Xia Yu did not hesitate, and immediately asked Jason Gregg, the general manager of Jiuding Insurance Company, to come forward to discuss the purchase of equity. On the other hand, Jiuding Securities Company continues to acquire stocks and competes with the Kadoorie family. The two sides are discussing cooperation while fighting fiercely. This strange situation is really eye-opening, and it is also impressed by the courage of the Kadoorie family heroes to disconnect. Of course, this also revealed some information, that is, the Kadoorie family is in a weak position and is shrinking its strength in an attempt to protect itself. This has strengthened the confidence of investors who still hold shares of China Power Corporation. According to logical analysis, when the strength of the Kadoorie family shrinks, it is time for it to fight for life. At that time, the stock price of China Power Company will definitely skyrocket due to competition. Naturally, Xia Yu could see this clearly. I feel that if this goes on, it will fall into extremely vicious competition will greatly increase the cost of acquisition, which is not a cost-effective thing. Xia Yu immediately decided to launch the general offensive ahead of schedule. Soon, Xia Yu¡¯s orders were issued, and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Bank each found a minority shareholder. The opening was a high price of 30%. At the same time, they offered a big stick and planned to use a little coercion. Means. On the other hand, Xia Yu went to Rohill and his son Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., found Charles Rohill, and commissioned him to acquire the shares of China Light & Power Company held by Swire Group. Finally, it was for Standard Chartered Bank President Gals Liddell to secretly contact the Schroder family in the UK to see if they could reach an agreement to remove Roland¡¯s Kadoorie, who holds 20% of the shares, from the position of chairman of Baoyuan Investment Company. After kicking off, Hu stopped the stocks currently acquired by Baoyuan Investment Company. Two days passed in a flash, and the equity transaction of the Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group was about to be resolved, but the atmosphere over Hong Kong Island became more tense. Many people understand that the most intense moment is coming. () v3 Chapter 824: Calculate and counter "Mr. Kadoorie, happy cooperation!" After exchanging the agreement, Jason Gregg got up and shook hands with Michael Kadoorie and said with a smile. Michael Kadoorie talked, smiled very perfunctorily, and said, "Mr. Gregg, the agreement has been signed, and now we have to complete the transfer as soon as possible." "Then let''s go! Before getting off work now!" Jason Gregg shrugged and took Michael Kadoorie to the bank to transfer money without delay. It took a little more time for the transfer, and when it was confirmed that the funds had arrived, Michael Kadoorie directly found an excuse to leave, and did not even miss the traded equity. Jason Gregg brought the agreement and the equity certificate to deliver the task to Xia Yu. In this negotiation, Jason Gregg completely took the initiative. However, he also knows how to measure, and he knows how to take it when he sees it, and he doesn''t overly push Michael Kadoorie. When Ji Wei, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, made his move, he issued additional shares at a price of two Hong Kong dollars lower than the stock price. Using the rights of major shareholders and the chairman of the board of directors, the Kadoorie family was clearly cut off, but the Kadoorie family could only be powerless. Passively, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is indeed not easy to manage. After all, the major shareholders of listed companies are issuing additional shares in a targeted manner. Because of the issue of share expansion, they are basically issued at a price lower than the market price. As long as it is not too low, there is no problem. Therefore, Ji Wei made a good preparation for him. With this precedent in hand, Michael Kadoorie couldn¡¯t stand his nerves at all. In the end, he agreed to trade the stock price at the time when the Hong Kong Shanghu Hotel Group was suspended. , The stocks held by the Kadoorie family were all sold, and the final calculated total transaction volume was 190.43 million Hong Kong dollars. In this way, the last small obstacle in the division of the assets of the Xiangjiang Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group has also been cleared, and the next thing is the matter between Jiuding Hotel Management Group, the Standard Accounting Firm and the Liang family. Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. won, and Jiuding Securities Co. and Jiuding Bank, holding big sticks, did not disappoint Xia Yu. The two companies each won a small shareholder, making the Jiuding Consortium''s shareholding increased to 48.3%, and the gap between more than 50% is getting smaller and smaller. Victory is beckoning like them! ... Hong Kong Island Central, Hong Kong Rockhill & Sons Ltd. After Charles Rohill finished the call with Xia Yu, the smile on his face immediately faded. Sitting on the sofa, Sean Rohill, who has been keeping quiet, said: "Father, is Xia Yu asking about the progress of the acquisition again?" Charles Rohill nodded slightly: "Hmm!" Sean Rohill asked: "Then should we transfer the equity to him now? The stock price has now risen to 25 Hong Kong dollars, which is a 19% increase since the first." "Now that the Jiuding Consortium has taken the equity of two small shareholders, the shareholding ratio should not be low, will it be close to 50%?" Speaking of last, Sean Rohill was a little worried. He is worried that the Jiuding Consortium will unknowingly hold 50% of the shares of China Power Company. If they want to speculate and make a fortune, they must seize the opportunity. At present, it is not the best time. The best time is when the equity holdings of the Jiuding Consortium or the Kadoorie family are not big, and the equity of the two parties is close to 50%. It seems the most important. Even if the equity is determined to be sold to Xia Yu, it can be sold at a high price. However, if the Jiuding Consortium¡¯s shareholding reaches 50%, it does not matter whether the acquisition of other shares is not important. Once the shareholding ratio reaches 50%, it will be able to control the holdings of the Eastern Conference and then the board of directors and the board of supervisors. With the strength of the Jiuding Consortium, even if the CLP Power Company has been ruled by the Kadoorie family for 80 to 90 years, the Jiuding Consortium can still take over forcibly. The big deal is a big purge. Anyway, the Jiuding Consortium cannot afford the consequences of the big purge. Don''t forget that the Jiuding Consortium itself owns the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, which is another giant in the power industry. Even if the CLP Power Company is cleaned up, it can also immediately replace and supplement personnel to maximize the normal operation of the CLP Power Company. In this way, the Jiuding Consortium took control of the China Power Company, and whether the other shareholders are round or flat depends on Xia Yu''s mood. If Xia Yu''s heart were a little bit more cruel, he would directly exchange for the prince, or guard himself by stealing, it would completely make the China Power Company lose money and cause the stock price to plummet. The scallops on Zhangzidao can die by tricks, and the China Power Corporation can also lose money by tricks. The speculation of Rohill and his son would definitely fail, depending on whether Xia Yu wanted to give them face. Seeing his son a little worried, Charles Rosier also fell into deep thought, quickly considering the holdings of the Jiuding Consortium. To be honest, although Charles Rohill has done his best to pay attention to Xia Yu''s every move, but Xia Yu is not a vegetarian, and will not let people understand the bottom, so Charles Rohill has no idea about the acquisition by the Jiuding Consortium. How much equity of China Power Company has been acquired. As far as Charles Rohill knows, Standard Chartered Bank holds a part, Jiuding Bank is also acquiring, and Jiuding Securities has never stopped. In total, he estimated that the Jiuding Consortium should be the substantial largest shareholder at present, and the shareholding ratio should be between 37% and 42%. The Jiuding Consortium and the Kadoorie family can still compete for a while. The Kadoorie family, which has already raised a large sum of money, will not be bad in fighting will. Therefore, the competition will be fierce. The current stock price of China Power Corporation is only the beginning. With this in mind, Charles Rohill decided to wait and see one or two more, and said to Sean Rohill: "Shawn, don¡¯t worry, even if the Jiuding Consortium is very strong in Xiangjiang, it wants to acquire more than half of the equity in a short time. It¡¯s impossible, so there should be a big gap from the 50% controlling stake. Let¡¯s wait. This is a good opportunity to make a profit!" When he heard his father say this, Sean Rohill could only agree. He erased the worries in his heart and replied: "Good father, let''s wait." ... There are two flowers and one branch each. Time passed a little bit forward, and just after Xia Yu ended the call with Charles Rohill, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Dogs can''t change eating shit, it really is the usual style of the Rohill family." "Fortunately, a bug was installed in Shi Yahuai''s mansion a long time ago Otherwise, he was almost kept in the dark. Charles Rohill is indeed a Jew, and he will not miss any chance of speculation. " "I acquired the equity held by Swire Group early, but pretended not to acquire it. This is because I want to wait for the stock price to rise and kill me again." "If I was really kept in the dark and bought their equity, I would have to thank them for the blood sucked by them. Ha ha, the favors are earned, the money is also earned, what a good thing..." "Fortunately, I didn''t count on them from the beginning. It''s okay to prepare a few measures at any time!" After the sneer, Xia Yu''s face was full of indifference. He picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers. After a while, the phone was connected. He picked up the microphone and said, "Galce, do it now!"

I can like it every day, please, thank you! () v3 Chapter 825: showdown Baoyuan Investment Company, Central, Hong Kong Island. Roland Kadoorie is scheduling the acquisition of equity, and the results are considered to be more satisfactory to him. He has acquired 2.79 million shares of China Power Corporation, which together account for 3.1% of the total equity. At this moment, a string of footsteps came from far and near, and Roland Kadoorie followed the prestige, suddenly showing an unexpected look and frowning subconsciously. The two who came together were the company''s largest shareholder and second largest shareholder, Walker Marion, the representative of Schroder Group, and Baker Jerry, vice president of Standard Chartered Bank. In the past year, the representatives of the two major shareholders rarely came to the company except for the opening of the board of directors. Now the two came together, because the things that happened during this time caused the nervous and highly nervous Roland Kadoorie to suddenly feel a bad feeling. But he didn''t show it, got up and walked towards the two enthusiastically. "Mr. Marion, Mr. Jerry, you have also come to the company. It''s been a long time since I saw you. I am so glad to see you!" Roland Kadoorie smiled and shook hands with the two to say hello. Baker Jerry, vice president of Standard Chartered Bank, was a little cold, but smiled and nodded and said hello, then let go. Walker Marion shook hands with Roland Kadoorie for a longer time, but the former looked at the latter with a strange look. The sensitive Roland Kadoorie felt stronger in his heart. He immediately smiled and asked, "Mr. Marion, Mr. Jerry, do you have any work instructions this time?" Walker Marion smiled and did not speak, but looked at Baker Jerry. Baker Jerry said indifferently, "Mr. Kadoorie, I called Mr. Marion. We at Standard Chartered Bank have a proposal that needs to be discussed by the board of directors." "If it''s not busy now, shall we go to the office now?" Roland''s Kadoorie looked a little dignified and nodded and said, "No problem, you go first. Wait two minutes for me, I will arrange the work first." Walker Marion twitched his mouth when he heard it, as if thinking of something interesting, but he didn''t say anything, nodded to Roland Kadoorie, and walked towards the other side of the corridor. The different attitudes of the two made Roland''s Kadoorie couldn''t help thinking about it. After arranging the work hastily, he slowed down and walked towards the small conference room, thinking about their true intentions as they walked. It was originally 20 seconds, but Roland Kadoorie had walked for more than a hundred seconds, and he felt that every second was so long. But no matter how he dragged it, he finally came to the door of the small meeting room and saw two people talking and laughing inside. After sitting down in his usual position, Roland Kadoorie''s eyes swept across the faces of the two of them. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and asked: "Mr. Jerry, Mr. Marion, can you talk now? Why is it so urgent that you can''t wait until the regular meeting to discuss it?" Facing the question of Roland Kadoorie, Walker Marion once again chose to be silent and turned his attention to Baker Jerry, obviously wanting to show that although he is the representative of the largest shareholder, he has to deal with it next. The leading party is Standard Chartered Bank. Baker Jerry didn''t have any psychological burden, but he also gave Rolandz Kadoorie a little bit of face, so he should give him a hand before stepping on it. "Mr. Kadoorie, we have been cooperating for so many years. We are also looking at your contribution to the company. We don¡¯t mention the results. At least in terms of hard work, you are in your position. I have to thank you for your contribution. The company¡¯s contribution." Although it was a good word, Roland Kadoorie felt something was wrong when he heard it. Such affirmative words were too weird. Then Baker Jerry changed the subject and said: "But in business, efficiency and return are the key. In companies around the world, many employees of companies have contributed to the company, but they have not achieved good results. The financial industry is the most competitive industry and has the highest requirements for effectiveness. Unfortunately, our company''s effectiveness has not been high in the past few years." "So in order for the company to develop better, I think the company needs to change a new leadership and adjust its business strategy, so I propose to re-select the chairman of the board of directors." Boom! Roland Kadoorie was struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and he looked at the expressionless Baker Jerry in disbelief. After confirming that he was not joking, Roland Kadoorie looked at Walker Marion suddenly, and Walker Marion shrugged his shoulders with a clearer attitude. The instigator is Baker Jerry, he must have been planning for a long time, and even though he is the vice president of Standard Chartered Bank, he has no right to make this decision, so Gals Liddell must have ordered it. Therefore, Roland Kadoorie refused to persuade him. Instead, he launched a persuasion offensive to Walker Marion, trying to change his mind. As long as he changes his position, Standard Chartered Bank holds 35% of the shares. , Still can''t shake his position as chairman of the board. "Mr. Marion, how much I have contributed to the company, you should look at it. Before the company¡¯s poor business conditions, it was due to the environmental impact, stock market crash and political factors, which caused Xiangjiang¡¯s financial companies to have a hard time, Baoyuan The growth rate of the investment company''s revenue is pretty good. Since last year, the company''s revenue and asset growth rate has risen sharply..." It seems that the desire to survive has exploded, making Roland''s Kadoorie''s brain surprisingly clear, and he can''t stop talking. But Walker Marion listened quietly without saying a word. Baker Jerry''s mouth raised slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, palms crossed, and he didn''t seem to worry at all. When Roland Kadoorie finally finished speaking for five minutes, Walker Marion shrugged regretfully and said apologetically, "Mr. Kadoorie, I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯m just an executive, specific things. It¡¯s all decided by the group. I have no right to change it. Today, I just represent the group and nothing more." "Then the matter is already very clear, and it''s useless to say more. Let''s vote. I propose to re-elect the chairman of the board." Baker Jerry said directly in front of Roland''s Kadoorie, and directly raised his hand. With Roland''s Kadoorie''s eyes cracking, Walker Marion slowly raised his hand. The first largest shareholder and the second largest shareholder agreed, 35% plus 45% of the equity, a total of 80% of the voting rights voted to agree, the proposal passed, Roland Kadoorie¡¯s chairman of the board His identity was instantly lost. Rolandus Kadoorie only felt the adrenaline burst The blood was rushing to his head very quickly, his eyes were full of stars, and he gasped. Frightened Walker Marion immediately got up and wanted to help him, fearing that he would have an accident. After all, a person in his eighties, his body organs and blood vessels were already quite fragile. Although Baker Jerry was worried, he hesitated and sat still in his seat. For a long time, Roland Kadoorie pushed Walker Marion''s hand away, looking ugly, staring coldly at Baker Jerry and asked: "Mr. Jerry, I want to know if the Jiuding Foundation made you do this. !" Baker Jay opened his hands expressionlessly and said lightly: "No comment!" Roland Kadoorie suffocated, took a deep breath and asked with anger and anger, "Then the new chairman of the board of directors is you? Let alone no comment, I am a company shareholder and have the right to know who it is!" "it''s me!" Just when Baker Jerry wanted to tell who it was, the door of the small meeting room was suddenly pushed open, and a steady and thick male voice suddenly sounded. v3 Chapter 826: Pick peaches directly The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of the three, especially Roland Kadoorie. It''s just that when he saw the appearance of the incoming person, Roland''s Kadoorie''s face changed instantly, his chest raged, and his face became flushed, which was obviously extremely atmospheric. The visitor chuckled and said: "I''m really sorry, I didn''t mean to eavesdrop, but you were talking too loudly. I just heard it when I passed the door. It felt like I was talking about me, so I took the liberty to push the door in. ,I''m really sorry!" "Mr. Wang, we are waiting for you. If you don''t come again, I will have to let people find you." Baker Jerry smiled and stood up and said, walking to Wang Qi and shaking hands with him, very friendly. Yes, the person here is Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities! It''s no wonder that Roland Kadoorie''s face changed drastically after seeing Wang Qi. Both of them are direct opponents, and the competition in the stock market has been intense these days. But now the enemy has walked into the meeting room and will succeed him as the chairman of the company''s board of directors. How familiar is this scene, he had just experienced a similar scene not long ago, and it was at Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group at that time. It''s just that this kind of insult has come once, and now it has come a second time, how can this make Roland Kadoorie not angry. It''s so deceiving! "It''s you again!" Roland Kadoorie gritted his teeth and said, his expression extremely hideous. Wang Qi chuckled and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, don''t come here unharmed?" "Do you think I am qualified to be the chairman of the board of Baoyuan Investment Company?" Before Roland Kadoorie could answer, Wang Qi walked to Walker Marion and shook his hand to say hello: "Mr. Marion, hello, I am Wang Qi, it is an honor to know you!" With a smile on his face, Walker Marion warmly shook hands with Wang Qi and greeted him: "Mr. Wang, it is also my honor to know you!" Walker Marion has not been in contact with Wang Qi before, but he has known Wang Qi a long time ago. After all, Wang Qi is the general manager of Heungjiang First Securities Company. As a practitioner in the financial industry, Walker Marion has not known Wang Qi. Who is Qi? It can be said that Wang Qi is the head of the Jiuding Consortium and the left arm of the stock **** Xia Yu, and stomping can make the Xiangjiang financial market tremble. Roland Kadoorie can serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Baoyuan Investment Company as a third shareholder, of course, it is inseparable from the support of the British Schroder Group. The Schroder Group also recognizes the ability of Roland Kadoorie. Although Roland Kadoorie is old, knowledgeable, and sophisticated, he is also considered successful in operating Baoyuan Investment. Under normal circumstances, the Schroder Group will definitely support him. But everything is afraid of comparison. How can Roland''s Kadoorie''s strength and influence in the financial industry compare to Wang Qi? How does it compare to Xia Yu behind Wang Qi? Therefore, when the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank came to the door and said that they would drop Roland Kadoorie, the Schroder family disagreed at first. But when the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank announced that they had belonged to the Jiuding Consortium and that Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities, could serve as the chairman and president of Baoyuan Investment Company, the Schroder family was immediately moved. Wasn¡¯t the strength of the Kadoorie family based on the cooperation with the Kadoorie family? Nowadays, there are Heungjiang Overlords who are several times stronger and cooperate with them, and they are still the Jiuding Consortium, which ranks first in the financial industry. Is it still necessary to choose? After hesitating for less than a minute, the helm of the Schroder family agreed to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank. It was at that moment that Roland Kadoorie''s current ending was doomed. Seeing Wang Qi and Walker Marion greet no one else, Roland Kadoorie became more angry. Just waiting for Roland¡¯s Kadoorie to break out, he listened to Baker Jerry mockingly said: "Mr. Kadoorie, now do you think our choice is still wrong? Everything is for the company to develop better and where the company develops. Okay, you also benefit, don¡¯t you?" Roland Kadoorie took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said with a cold face, "Baker Jerry, you don¡¯t have to be hypocritical. Now my equity is still there, you can guarantee that my equity will be repaid in the future." Are you there?" Baker Jerry choked suddenly, apparently Roland Kadoorie pointed out the truth. Their original plan was really to quit the Kadoorie family later. Anyway, the Kadoorie family only holds 20% of the shares. As long as Standard Chartered and Schroder reach an agreement, they can expand their shares at any time or use other means to dilute the Kadoorie family''s equity until it is kicked out. Seeing Baker Jerry not speaking, Roland Kadoorie laughed at himself and looked back at Wang Qi. The two looked at each other, their eyes intertwined with murderous aura. Roland Kadoorie held back his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Wang, congratulations on winning again! But don''t be too happy too soon!" After finishing speaking, Roland Kadoorie flung his sleeves and left. The matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter how much staying is meaningless, it will only make you unable to control your emotions, it is important to seize the time to save a little loss. The uncomfortable people left, and the atmosphere in the small meeting room suddenly heated up, and Walker Marion and the three others chatted and laughed. After a few brief conversations, Wang Qi interrupted the warming topic and said apologetically: "Wait for me to invite both of you to have coffee, and now I will do the finishing touches first, so as not to disappoint our chairman. ." "Yes, Mr. Marion, we still have to take a few minutes to deal with it." Baker Jerry echoed to Walker Marion. Walker Marion knew the group''s order for a long time, and smiled knowingly: "It is estimated that Roland Kadoorie is already giving the order, let''s go there together." After all, the three left together. After a while, the three of them arrived at the office where they had seen Roland Kadoorie before, and they were ordering the department manager Harlan Cyril to be busy. Seeing the three of Wang Qi coming over, Roland''s Kadoorie''s expression changed, and he secretly said ¡®bad¡¯. Sure enough, I saw Baker Jerry directly over Roland Kadoorie and said to department manager Harlan Cyril: "Harlan, what are you going to do?" Of course, Harlan Cyril saw Wang Qi, and his face changed immediately, but when faced with the question of the company¡¯s director Baker Jerry, he subconsciously replied: ¡°The president asked me to print the contract. The equity is transferred to Kadoorie & Sons Co., Ltd." For things like this, it is true that the president can decide in one word, not to mention the acquisition of the shares of China Light and Power Company, which Roland Kadoorie ordered him. But what he said changed Roland''s Kadoorie''s face again. Sure enough, what he was afraid of happened. Baker Jerry looked at Rolandz Kadoorie with a smile, and told Harlan Cyril: "Harlan, the contract can be drafted, but the acquirer wants Write Jiuding Securities Company!" Harlan Sililton was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities, standing between the two, and then looked at Roland Kadoorie. Now it is still competing with Jiuding Securities Company! How did you sell the acquired equity to the enemy in a blink of an eye? Harlan Cyril was confused! I saw that Roland Kadoorie finally broke out and roared to Baker Jerry: "Baker Jerry, don''t go too far! This equity was originally acquired by me, just let the company hold it!" "Harlan, write according to my previous order." After the roar, Roland Kadoorie, with the last glimmer of hope, told Harlan Cyril again. But Baker Jerry once again acted as a villain and said directly to Roland Kadoorie: "Mr. Kadoorie, don¡¯t forget that you are no longer the chairman of the boardMr. Wang Qi is the After discussion, it was decided that Mr. Wang Qi would concurrently serve as the company''s chief executive officer." Baker Jerry told Harlan Cyril: "Harlan, without Mr. Wang Qi''s signature, no property of the company can be traded!" This time, Harlan Cyril finally understood what was going on. He was shocked in his heart, but he could only nod his promise, only to look at Roland Kadoorie¡¯s eyes, revealing a strange and complicated look, which seemed pitiful. Feeling, seeming helpless... Seeing that Baker Jerry broke his last rescue plan in a few words, Roland Kadoorie couldn''t help it anymore. Blood spurted up on the head, and the whole person''s eyes went dark, directly unconscious. Fortunately, Harlan Cyril''s eyesight is quick and his hands are quick, and he immediately supports him, otherwise Rolandus Kadoorie will fall to the ground in danger. But despite holding on, Baker Jerry and the others changed their faces. They immediately called for an ambulance for fear of death in the company. () v3 Chapter 827: Regretful and depressed Three days later, the special nursing ward of Xiangjiang Sanatorium and Hospital. "Doctor George, when will my father wake up?" Michael Kadoorie looked at the doctor turning his eyelids on the hospital bed. His face was full of worry, and he numbly asked a question that I didn''t know how many times he had asked it in the past few days. It has been three days since his father was in a coma. At the best sanatorium in Hong Kong, he changed a bunch of doctors. After exhausting all available methods, he couldn''t wake him up. Michael Kadoorie had all his hair. Sad white. The Kadoorie family can¡¯t live without his father Roland Kadoorie. If his father dies, then he will not be able to resist the wolves staring at him. What''s more, there is the Great Wolf Jiuding Consortium, and the strength of the Kadoorie family has declined sharply! Rejuvenating the family is his father''s lifelong wish. If his father had just had an accident, he would not be able to hold onto the family business, then he would have no face to see his father or grandfather even if he died! At this time, the doctor finished his observation, shook his head at Michael Kadoorie with some shame, and said in a low voice: "I''m sorry, Mr. Kadoorie, your father is psychologically traumatized, and he is now in protective dormancy of the brain. Maybe your father is now Knowing everything we talked, whether or not he can wake up depends on him." Still the same statement! Michael Kadoorie was very upset. He waved his hand to dismiss the doctor. He sat down on the chair, grabbed his father''s old hand, and pressed it to his face, and said worriedly: "Father, you wake up quickly. The family can''t live without you. If you don''t wake up again, I don''t have the confidence to guard the family business that you and grandpa worked hard together. I..." Michael Kadao talked about the idea, and while talking, he casually looked at his father''s face, only to see that he was slowly opening his eyes. He was stunned! The four eyes faced each other for a moment. Michael Kadoorie showed ecstasy on his face, tightly holding Roland''s Kadoorie''s hand, and exclaimed excitedly: "Father, you are awake! It''s great!" "Mi Gao...my child..." Rolandus Kadoorie said in a weak voice, intermittently. ... The doctors and nurses who had just left returned to the ward again, and after a long time toss, the ward became quiet again. The only difference from the past few days is that the atmosphere in the ward is no longer so depressing, and Michael Kadoorie''s face has a touch of relief and relief. Father finally woke up, and there was no memory loss, which is undoubtedly a good situation. Following the doctor''s advice, you only need to rest in peace before you can be discharged from the hospital. At this moment, Roland''s Kadoorie, who had been looking at the ceiling in a daze, moved his eyes, looked at Michael Kadoorie, opened his mouth and asked weakly, "Mi Gao, how is the situation now?" Michael Kadoorie''s face became stiff, and then he pretended to smile nonchalantly: "Father, there is nothing wrong. It is calm now. I can handle it. You are weak now, so don''t worry about your career." Rolandus Kadoorie had eaten more salt than his son had eaten noodles, and he could tell at a glance that his son was lying. Furthermore, even he couldn''t accept the situation that happened before, so how could he simply forget it? He couldn''t believe that the Jiuding Consortium would stop moving because he passed out, and might even seize the opportunity to harm his interests non-stop. How can he feel at ease if he doesn''t figure it out? Therefore, his face sank, and he said loudly, "Go ahead, don''t hide it from me, I can bear it. Since I wake up, I won''t faint again!" With that said, Rolandz Kadoorie looked at Michael Kadoorie with a stern look. Faced with his father¡¯s stern gaze, Michael Kadoorie slowly lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: ¡°Father, after you fainted, Wang Qi, Baker Jerry and others have already dealt with Baoyuan Investment Company. During the rectification, some of your right-hand men were discharged, and the shares of China Power Corporation that had been acquired were all bought by Jiuding Securities." After speaking, Michael Kadoorie paused for a long time, observing his father''s expression, and seeing that his face had not changed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then what? How about China Light & Power Corporation?" Roland Kadoorie continued to ask. Speaking of China Light & Power Corporation, Michael Kadoorie''s face darkened, and he sighed and said, "Standard Chartered Bank did not know when it sold the shares of China Light & Power Corporation and sold it to Jiuding Industrial Group. Just this morning, The exchange disclosed the latest shareholder information of China Light and Power Company, the specific shareholder information... I will show it to you, the subordinates have already brought it." After speaking, Michael Kadoorie came to the wall, picked up the briefcase, took out a piece of A4 paper, and returned to the bedside, facing the paper to Roland¡¯s Kadoorie¡¯s eyes. Roland''s Kadoorie was immediately attracted by the words above. Kadoorie & Sons Co., Ltd. holds 34%, Jiuding Industrial Group holds 28.6%, Swire Group holds 11%, and Jiuding Bank holds 8.8%. Securities companies hold 8.1% shares, and Jiuding Insurance Company holds 5.9% shares. The throne of the largest shareholder is still the Kadoorie family, and the Swire Group still sits as the third largest shareholder. But when the equity of the first series of Jiuding Consortium added up, it reached 51.4%, which is already more than half! It can be said that CLP Power has changed the sky! The shareholders meeting has been controlled by the Jiuding Consortium, and what will happen next is already predictable. It can now be announced that the China Power Company is no longer owned by the Kadoorie family. The key is when the Jiuding Consortium will start. A thin piece of paper, now in Roland''s Kadoorie''s hands, was as heavy as a force, not only pressing his hands but also his heart, it was so heavy that he couldn''t breathe. "Father, father..." At this time, the anxious call in his ear awakened him, Roland Kadoorie put down the paper in his hand with a bitter face, closed his eyes and sighed. This shocked Michael Kadoorie, but fortunately he also saw that his father Roland''s face was still squirming. After a long time, Rolandz Kadoorie slowly opened his eyes again, and wearily said to Michael Kadoorie: "We lost, we lost thoroughly, it was all my fault..." Michael Kadoorie quickly said: "Father, it''s not your fault. The Shi Yahuai family harmed us. If it weren''t for them, we could have sold the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. There would be no next series of things. , We will lose because of the betrayal of the Shi Yahuai family and Standard Chartered Bank..." Rolandus Kadoorie raised his hand slightly, interrupted Michael Kadoorie¡¯s words, and said softly, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s useless to talk about it. The fundamental reason is that we are not as strong as the Jiuding Consortium. In this world, interests are paramount. In the face of interests, any alliance relationship is very fragile." "The companies that have been listed are all taken away. Next, let''s restore our strength in a low-key manner. The Jiuding Consortium should not be able to grab our other companies." "In the future, other companies in the family will still be listed, but no matter what, you must remember that the family''s shareholding ratio cannot be less than 50%!" The failure this time made Roland Kadoorie completely awakened. Since the financial strength is not as good as humans, then simply not give those financial robbers a chance. Can''t I hide if I can''t beat it? This action by Xia Yu made Roland Kadoorie wake up seven or eight years ahead of schedule. According to the original trajectory, it would not be until Liu Luanxiong''s sniper on the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group failed in 1987 before Roland Kadoorie was awakened. But in this life, Roland Kadoorie encountered the Jiuding Consortium, which was doomed to suffer heavy losses, and now it is too late to regret it. ... The shareholding disclosures of the exchanges have shocked people. In fact, when the ambulance came downstairs to the CLP Power Company three days ago, UU read www.uukanshu. com attracted the attention of reporters. Later, under the digging of reporters, the truth of the facts was revealed little by little, which shocked many people who eat melons. What followed was that the stock price of China Power Company fluctuated, and the upward trend was directly interrupted. Especially when Jiuding Securities also stopped buying, no financial institution dared to enter the market. All of them were watching, secretly inquiring about the news, to see if it could be profitable. It was not until this morning that the shareholding was re-disclosed, which completely let everyone give up, and also caused the stock price of China Power Company, which was forcibly raised, to fall. Some retail investors who did not sell their stocks at a high position were heartbroken and wished to slap themselves twice, complaining that they were too greedy. The next time they want to find this kind of opportunity, they don''t know that they have to wait until the year of the monkey. Of course, the most entangled and depressed one was Rohill and his son. PS: Please like, choose Jiangxi Province in the battle interface, give Huang Laoshi a like, share and click again, please everyone. () v3 Chapter 828: Stealing chicken will not lose the rice At this time, Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd., Charles Rohill and Sean Rohill, both sitting in the office, the atmosphere in the room was very dull. "I haven''t called to ask for three days..." After a long time, Charles Rohill said suddenly. Sean Rohill knew that his father meant Xia Yu. Since the great changes of China Light and Power Corporation happened three days ago, Xia Yu has not made a phone call to inquire about the progress of the acquisition. He seems to have forgotten that he has entrusted them to acquire the shares held by Swire Group. At this moment, Sean Rohill felt very uncomfortable. They had previously imagined to seize this opportunity, delay as much as possible, to make China Power''s stock price rise a little, and make a move at a critical moment, hoping to get Xia Yu''s favor and make a fortune. Who knows that the idea is good, but he estimated the situation incorrectly, underestimated the handwriting of the Jiuding Consortium, and even missed the opportunity. Now that the Jiuding Consortium holds more than 50% of CLP Power¡¯s shares, although the equity they hold cannot be said to be tasteless, they are not far behind. Not to mention that the stock price of China Power Company has fallen to 22.5 Hong Kong dollars per share, and there is a trend of falling back to the original price. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is indifferent despite the decline in its stock price. The stock price of 22.5 Hong Kong dollars per share is only about 7.1% higher than the stock price of 21 Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the rise. But think about it when Charles Rohill bought it from Swire Group before, but he bought it at a premium of 10%, at a price of 23.1 Hong Kong dollars per share. If the shares are sold to Xia Yu at the current price, Roshill & Sons Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. will lose more than five million Hong Kong dollars. But if you don¡¯t sell it, holding the equity in your hands, there is a high probability that it will continue to depreciate, and it will also cause more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in funds to be locked up. In addition, you will appear incompetent. The most serious thing is that if it is revealed later that they hold equity but do not sell it to Xia Yu, then it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the cooperative relationship between the two parties. Under various considerations, Charles Rohill felt very uncomfortable. Xia Yu is too much a chicken thief, he is just an old fox, his advantage is too hard to take advantage of! At this moment, Charles Rohill¡¯s feelings of regret became more intense. If he was not so greedy a few days ago, he would accept it when he saw it, he would not sit in the office now and struggle, and he would be able to make a fortune and get it. Xia Yu''s favor! Even if there is a similar opportunity next time, Charles Rohill will not dare to take this risk. Once this kind of thing happens, he will know that Xia Yu City Mansion is too deep, and he can''t figure out Xia Yu''s details and routines. Calculate, it is very likely to ask for trouble. "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the phone on the desktop rang suddenly, awakening Charles and his son from their thoughts. Sean Rohill answered the phone: "Hello, this is Rohill & Sons Ltd..." "..." Hearing a word from the other side of the microphone, Sean Rosier turned his face straight, and covered the microphone and said silently to his father. Charles Rosier lifted his spirits and beckoned to his son to tell him. "Mr. Xia, please wait, my father happens to be here, let him tell you!" After speaking, Sean Rohill handed the receiver to his father. Charles Rohill changed his dullness, his voice was loud, and he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xia, hello, I just wanted to call you, but I received your call unexpectedly. This surprised me..." "..." "Yes, we signed an agreement with Swire Group early in the morning, and we came back to know the information disclosed by the exchange... No problem, when will you come... OK, I will draw up the agreement first, and you can sign it directly when you come over. ,look forward to your visit!" "Bye!" "Patter!" After hanging up the phone and seeing Sean Roschel¡¯s inquiring eyes, Charles Roschel shrugged and said: "Get ready, don¡¯t show your stuff, Xia Yu will come over soon, wait to see if you can negotiate the price. A little higher, even a little bit can avoid a little loss." ... "Mr. Charles, you have worked hard, and I look forward to working with you next time!" "Mr. Xia, we have been cooperating very happily. If there is a similar business next time, please give it to our company. I think I won''t let you down!" "see you later!" At about 11:30 in the morning, Charles Rohill sent Xia Yu out the door with a big smile and waved his hands to watch Xia Yu¡¯s luxury car go away. The smile on his face gradually faded after the car was out of sight. Go, a dull color appeared between the eyebrows. Stealing chickens won''t lose their rice! When negotiating with Xia Yu just now, Charles Rohill had no way to raise the price. According to the real-time stock price, he sold 9.9 million shares he held to Xia Yu at a price of 22.21 Hong Kong dollars. With a big wave of Xia Yu, he directly made up the odds and made up a whole to take over these stocks at a price of 220 million Hong Kong dollars. Charles Rosier had to smile and hold Xia Yu''s atmosphere. But in fact, he was extremely depressed. These stocks were acquired from the Swire Group at a price of HK$228.7 million, but now they are sold for HK$220 million. They have tossed about it, but they have lost 8.7 million. One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. Before Xia Yu called, the stock price was still at 22.5 Hong Kong dollars, and the floating loss was only over 5 million. However, when Xia Yu arrived and negotiated, the stock price fell to 22.21 Hong Kong dollars, and he lost again. More than two million Hong Kong dollars. "Forget it, I helped Xia Yu in the acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company and earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting the current loss, I still have a little over 10 million, which is considered a success." Charles Rohill comforted himself secretly, but the depression in his heart was still lingering. Losing money was a trivial matter, and the sense of failure was what made him most difficult to let go. The old horse stumbles~ ... Let''s talk about Xia Yu''s side. Of course he also knew Charles Rohill''s depression. He just responded with a sneer and then left it behind. This 11% of the equity, he ordered to be split into several parts, of which 6.3% was allocated to Jiuding Industrial Group, which increased the shareholding ratio of Jiuding Industrial Group to 30% 4.9, almost one point before reaching the full acquisition line. Another 1.2% was allocated to Jiuding Bank, and 1.9% was allocated to Jiuding Securities Co., which increased the shareholding ratio of both to 10%. The remaining 1.6% was given to Jiuding Insurance Company, which increased its shareholding ratio to 7.5%. As a result, the equity that was just acquired was immediately divided up. The reason why Xia Yu linked China Power Corporation to the border-ridden Jiuding Industrial Group instead of the orthodox Jiuding Energy Group mainly considered the future anti-monopoly law. Although Xiangjiang does not currently have an anti-monopoly law, and Xiangjiang only introduced it a few years before the rebirth of Xia Yu, but it is not guaranteed that Xia Yu is too arrogant in this life, forcing other people to unite. Moreover, Xia Yu does not intend to merge China Power Company and Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, because in his opinion, the merger of the two will do more harm than good. The reputation is good, but there are too many harms. If the two are merged, the new power company will monopolize 100% of the power market in Hong Kong. If someone secretly promotes it, the Hong Kong government is likely to issue power operating licenses again, which will be a huge trouble. It is better to operate the two at the same time to make the Hong Kong government look better. Although many people know the fact that the two companies are the same and the names are also related, as long as Xia Yu¡¯s offshore equity is not exposed, he insists on the two The company has little relationship, and other people can''t produce evidence, so it can''t be stopped in the end. Furthermore, leaving the two power companies is good, which is conducive to healthy competition between the two, but from a general perspective, it is conducive to the development of the two companies. Anyway, no matter which group it is under, he controls it. He is firmly on the throne of the king of Xiangjiang Electric Power! After the equity disposal, Xia Yu convened a meeting with the heads of several companies and deployed the exchange of blood for China Light and Power, with only one purpose, to erase the traces of the Kadoorie family in China Light and Power in the shortest time. , So that Xia Yu''s orders can be 100% executed and landed. Happy time is always short. As time passed, time unconsciously entered the end of June. Xia Yu has laid a solid foundation in Xiangjiang, but the state elections in the United States are drawing to a close, and outstanding political figures have come to the fore. In the next July, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party of the United States will successively convene the National Convention to determine the presidential nomination of each party. In this step, both parties must be cautious. If the determined presidential candidate is not strong, the entire party will be affected, and it is easy for the other party to seize the opportunity. Of course, for those political elites who are determined to run for president, it is the most critical time for them. They must mobilize all their forces to win the support of the bigwigs in the party, and then they can break the siege among their colleagues. Represent the party in the final competition. If the party¡¯s presidential candidate is not nominated , then the election can be declared a failure. Although you can continue to run as an independent candidate, everyone knows that it can only increase some popularity and is more likely to become a laughing stock. After all, since the founding of the United States, there is only one person who has become president as an independent candidate, and that person is Washington! Washington can succeed, that is the general trend, the right time, the right place and the right people in one, there is no replication at all. Now there is no second Washington! Therefore, in less than a month, the competition between the two parties will be the fiercest. And Ronald Wilson Reagan, also entered the final assessment list of Republican leaders!

But in the eyes of real bigwigs, the president of the United States is actually the representative of the capital consortium pushed to the forefront. This may not have been the case before the seventh president of the United States, but after the seventh president in American history, the presidential election has become a battle between the consortium behind the two parties. Although the major political families in the United States are also very influential, facts have proved that in the United States, consortia dominate. Do you see future generations, the consortium was disappointed with the traditional political family, and directly broke the cooperation with the political family, rolled up their sleeves and went on stage in person, launching their own spokesperson, which led to the division of internal politics in the United States. When the next generation returns to the next generation, at this time, the consortium still abides by the rules. The pre-selection phase of the US general election began on the third Tuesday of February and has been going on for more than four months, and the period is naturally exciting. But only a few days before the end of the pre-selection, and only the last state is still anxious. But the situation for the candidates of the two parties has become clearer. Some are happy and some are sad. In a villa on the outskirts of Washington, Washington. Ronald Wilson Reagan is surrounded by a group of people, once again discussing the prospects of the election. It can be seen from the atmosphere of discussion that a group of people are in a relaxed mood. Obviously, the prospects for the campaign are very good. Here, there are not only Reagan¡¯s campaign steward (agent) Bill Casey, but also campaign poll experts, media consultants, political advertisers, etc., in addition to political consultants from all over the country Up. Bill Casey took out sheets of the latest statistics and sent them to everyone. "Mr. Reagan, we are currently in the first echelon of the campaign, and we are still at the forefront. Currently in the party, only George Herbert Walker Bush, such as John B. Anderson, is still a threat to you. , Jesse Costa and others, there is no threat to you." After reading the percentage data on the data, Reagan said with joy, but his face was slightly solemn: "We can''t be careless. George Bush¡¯s political background is deeper than mine, and the strength of the Bush family is not limited to the political realm. No one is sure what they will do." This is indeed the case. The Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium. George Bush¡¯s grandfather, Samuel Bush, is a steel and oil tycoon, and his grandmother is a Wall Street financial tycoon Walker. Outsiders regard the Bush family as a new political family, mainly thanks to George Bush¡¯s father Prescott, who established a personal relationship with President Eisenhower and entered the Senate in 1950. Then came George Bush, first in the army, then in business, then elected to the House of Representatives, served as the chairman of the Republican National Committee, served as a diplomat, and even served as the director of the CIA. A series of experiences made the Bush family stand in politics. Stabilize your heels. But the most powerful thing about the Bush family is its commercial strength. The family''s industries cover oil, banking, military industry, and sports. And the Bush family has a good relationship with the Rockefeller family. Although George Bush is now in a weak position, if the Bush family really does their best, as long as they make enough profits, those who originally supported Reagan are likely to change their positions. Because of this, Reagan did not dare to relax at any moment before the Republican National Convention was held and the nomination results were released. Seeing that Reagan was still so cautious when gaining an advantage, Bill Casey had more confidence in him. This is the person who does big things, and he is very cautious when he should be cautious. But for some things, Reagan must have a bottom line, such as campaign funds. "By the way, Mr. Reagan, we currently have $6.52 million in campaign funds left." Hearing this number, not only Reagan, but other political advisers also smiled. There is such a huge amount of funds, which is definitely enough for the next campaign. As for how to spend it, it depends on the situation in the next half month. If George Bush is still struggling, the money will have to be spent on intra-party competition to get the presidential nomination. If you can successfully become a presidential candidate, then this bridge will be used to compete with Democratic presidential candidates. No matter what, the money will always be spent and converted into votes. "Mr. Reagan, our campaign funds should be in the top ranks among all the candidates. If the funds are not enough, I will do my best to solve it for you." At this time, financial advisor Rhodes Saxon said with a smile. Reagan glanced at each other, then smiled and said, "Mr. Rhodes, I will trouble you next." "it is my responsibility!" Rhodes Saxon said calmly. This person was an extremely important member of Reagan''s campaign team. In fact, he was the person recommended by Xia Yu, who mainly contacted Xia Yu. To put it bluntly, when Reagan¡¯s money is not enough, as long as Reagan speaks, Rhodes Saxon will report to Xia Yu in time. Within a few days, there will be legal political donations from multiple channels for Reagan¡¯s money. The campaign provides ammunition. Throughout the campaign, Reagan found many funders, but no matter which tycoon, he could not surpass Xia Yu''s efforts. Next, the discussion sounded again in the hall, and everyone rushed to raise their opinions, hoping to check the gaps in Reagan''s campaign again. ... There are two flowers and one branch each. A similar scene happened in Houston, the largest city in Texas, where the Bush family resided. But here, the atmosphere is far less relaxed than Reagan''s side. George Bush looked at the data in his hands solemnly, while his campaign agent Jim Baker and political advisers across the country watched him quietly. These data are campaign data collected by Jim Baker and others. Of course, they are informal representative statistics. Although they are not formal, they are also very representative and not far from the official statistics. George Bush was a little irritable. He threw the data on the coffee table, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone, and finally stayed on the face of the campaign agent Jim Baker, frowning and saying: "Jim, data does not represent everything. If We play with percentages, then I won¡¯t run for election!" Although Jim Baker does not want to admit defeat, he is a very good acting candidate with many advantages. He is not only an efficient manager, but also good at analyzing and thinking, such as understanding the opponents, knowing himself and the enemy, and When the campaign was fierce, he kept calm. Of course, if he judges himself to have any merits, he will say that he is good at advocating. For example, now, he wants to say to George Bush what the latter does not want to hear. "George, all of us have gone through rigorous discussions and agreed. According to the current trend, Ronald Reagan will be nominated for the first round of voting. We have no chance." George Bush shook his head and said, "Jim, I will never give up before anything ends. At this moment, when Bush starts to give up, we have won the qualifiers in California, New Jersey and Ohio!" Jim Baker shook his head and sighed, pointing to the document they had collected day and night on the coffee table, and said to George Bush: "But George, the campaign is over. If you look at the data carefully, you seem to be the only one who doesn''t know. People in this situation." "Although we won the qualifiers in California, New Jersey and Ohio, but!" Speaking of this, Jim Becker paused, then said heavily: "Our money is almost running out!" "At this time, it is too late to catch up. If you want to catch up, you need to pay a huge price, and even if you become a presidential candidate, we will have no money in the next competition with the Democratic Party!" George Bush''s face stiffened, his brows frowned. Seeing George Bush''s silence for a long time, Jim Baker said with earnestness and earnestness: "George, I am also responsible for this situation. The campaign strategy formulated at the beginning went wrong. I did not expect Reagan to have a lot of money behind. With media support, if we adjust and catch up from the beginning, we still have time." "But it''s too late now. Reagan has gained the love of most people. This is his advantage." "The Republican Party urgently needs a victory to restore its decline. If the Democratic Party is re-elected this time, it will be a big blow to the Republican Party. What the top needs is someone who can defeat Jimmy Carter. Compared to Ronald Reagan, you Although his political background is deeper, it is still inferior to Jimmy Carter. On the contrary, Reagan, a lighter outsider, is more able to compete with Jimmy Carter." If possible, Jim Baker does not want to persuade George Bush to give up, because it means that he has also failed, so long efforts will be in vain. But he didn''t let George Bush fall into it for himself. He was a friend of George Bush, and he didn''t want to cheat his friend. If the Bush family fully mobilizes, it is indeed possible to become the Republican presidential candidate, but this requires the Bush family to pay a great price. In case the election is not successful in the end, all previous investment will be wasted. So he didn¡¯t dare to take this risk. After all, George Bush¡¯s political advantages were of no use to the current president, Jimmy Carter, and he had no experience as a vice president or governor. He wanted to jump to the top. too big! If this session of did not have Ronald Reagan as a dark horse, George Bush would have the best chance. As long as he has the resources of the Republican Party, he can still give it a try. It''s just a pity that Ronald Reagan has risen fiercely. In this piece, George Bush has a similar feeling of "both Sheng Yu and He Shengliang" in his heart. "Jim, let me go out and calm down." After speaking, George Bush got up and walked straight to the door, leaving everyone looking at each other. George Bush¡¯s wife, Barbara, got up immediately and followed George Bush. Jim Baker shrugged, looked at the others, and said lightly, "Guys, let''s wait."

() v3 Chapter 830: David Rockefellers attention George Bush came to the lake, and the breeze blew, ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, shimmering white light reflected in the sunlight. Barbara came to George Bush''s side unknowingly, but did not disturb him, but waited quietly. She knew her husband, she knew he just wanted to be quiet, and she also knew his decisive character. , After calmly thinking, it is time to make a decision. "My dear, thank you for staying with me!" For a long time, George Bush turned sideways, gently embraced his wife, and said softly. "My dear, no matter what the result is, I am proud of you. Everything has a process. I believe that hard work will never be in vain. You are almost so lucky." Barbara smiled and encouraged her husband. George Bush nodded and said frankly: "In fact, after reading the data, I already know that I failed, but I still have some unwillingness. Everyone has paid so much for me. I have worked hard for so long, but I can only go. At this point, I let everyone down." "No, my dear, there is only one position for the president. No one is 100% sure that he will be the president." Barbara shook her head and said. George Bush smiled slightly and continued: "My dear, I understand, and Jim Baker is a qualified manager. He stepped up in time to let me face failure. He did the right thing. I really shouldn''t waste resources anymore. Let my friends waste time and energy for me, this is not what a friend should do." ... The two hugged and looked at the lake, and talked peacefully for more than twenty minutes. "Honey, let''s go back. Jim and the others have been waiting for a long time." After speaking, George Bush stood up, patted the grass on his body, took his wife''s hand, and walked into the house. That evening, George Bush took his wife and his team to a Mexican restaurant called Molina he liked for dinner, and ordered Mexican beans, tortillas, enchiladas and chili peppers. Waiting for food, and his appetite is not bad. George Bush is that kind of personality. Whether he wants to or not, once he makes a decision, he can always eat and drink, and his appetite will not be affected by his mood. Just when George Bush has decided to give up and entertain his team. Across half of New York State in the United States, within Westchester County, on the upper reaches of the Hudson River, the Rockefeller family headquarters. In the dark night, two black cars shuttled in the night and drove into the Rockefeller family manor. When the car came to the door of the villa and stopped, an old man in his seventies got out of the car with his bodyguard. The two black-clothed guards in front of the door saw the face of the incoming person and took the initiative to open the door. When Benjamin Carr walked into the magnificent hall, David Rockefeller, who was in his sixties, also just walked down the stairs. "Benjamin, welcome you!" "David, good evening!" The two old men said hello to each other, and then sat down on the sofa. Tonight, they will be here to discuss about the Republican presidential candidate. So far, no candidate in the Republican Party has won 1,237 votes in the party, and no one has secured the victory in advance, which means that the Republican National Congress in mid-July will vote directly. The Republican candidate for president. Of course, so far, the party with the most votes in the party is Ronald Reagan, followed by Gerald Rudolph Ford, who was the president, followed by Howard Baker, the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate. George Bush, Paul Laxart, Jack Kemp and others. Although the current number of votes in the party shows that Ronald Reagan is ranked first, but he has not passed the line of 1,237 votes after all, so he also has to participate in the election of the Republican National Congress, but according to the existing votes, he will get First voter nominated. But that''s it! After all, there is still half a month, and no one can predict what will happen. There are still variables. It is difficult to say whether the people who voted for him will continue to support him in half a month. And whether there will be the biggest change, it actually depends on tonight! If the leader of the Republican Party and the Rockefeller family have negotiated and unanimously decide to pass Ronald Reagan, then at the party congress half a month later, Reagan will encounter the darkest scene in his life. No matter how high his starting point is, he can still be passed. The big boss behind the Republican Party has decided to change. Those Rockefeller Republicans will definitely vote with their **** instead of their heads. Reagan should be fortunate that if it were not for David Rockefeller¡¯s cousin Nelson Rockefeller who died last year, then this year¡¯s presidential candidate would definitely be Nelson Rockefeller. After all, when Gerald Ford was president from 1974 to 1977, Nelson Rockefeller was the vice president who assisted Ford. With the qualifications of Nelson Rockefeller, the resources of the Rockefeller family, and the influence on the Republican Party, no one can compete with him! Of course, with the low-key approach of the Rockefeller family, even if Nelson Rockefeller is still alive, it will not necessarily make the family a president. Not much gossip, return to the topic. Facing David Rockefeller, Benjamin Carr did not cover up like the outside. He directly took out a secret booklet and handed it to David Rockefeller. "David, this is the latest election situation for each candidate in the party." David Rockefeller took the booklet and read it directly. For the general election, David Rockefeller has been paying attention to it and even participating in it behind the scenes. Obviously, the general election is a matter for the Republicans and Democrats. But secretly, many consortia headed by the Rockefeller Consortium and major consortiums headed by the Morgan Consortium are fighting. After all, whoever controls the power can manipulate the state machinery to gain the upper hand for its own commercial development. This advantage is too great! The competition on the bright side has long been spread across the country through major media. People with lofty ideals from all walks of life will sing and we will appear on the stage, attracting the attention of many people who eat melon. But the struggle in the dark, although not in the newspapers, is even more dangerous, perhaps not decades ago, but since that happened, the competition in the dark has become more intense. It was more than ten years ago when the oldest Boston consortium joined the Rockefeller consortium. When the campaign was the most anxious, they secretly reached a cooperation and pushed the Democratic Party''s John F.KND up. Just when the Morgan consortium thought it was safe to do, they were caught by Boston. The consortium robbed the arms order, only to know that it was calculated. The uppermost was the anti-skeleton boy. In order to protect its own interests and influence within the Democratic Party, the Morgan Consortium planned to kill a hundred people, and soon there was something shocking the world. The fierceness of the Morgan consortium really shocked many people and caught the Boston consortium and the Rockefeller consortium by surprise. Since then, with each general election, the secret struggle has become more and more fierce. The two sides must not only push their own people up, but also prevent them from mixing up with anti-bones. Therefore, the details of each presidential candidate will be clearly understood. Only when the two parties confirm that there is no risk can they enter the real party''s presidential candidate nomination list. Among the candidates in the Republican Party this year, most of the details are clear. For example, George Bush is a Texas consortium from the Republican camp. And Howard Baker is a member of the Baker family and the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate, so there is no doubt. Not to mention Gerald FordNelson Rockefeller has worked with him for more than two years. Among all the candidates, the identity of Ronald Reagan, who has risen the most rapidly, has yet to be examined. After all, the supporting forces behind Reagan are numerous and mixed, and most of the supporting forces have been figured out. Only the economic aspect needs to be considered. . When Ronald Reagan was still in the early stages of the campaign, his advantage was not obvious, and David Rockefeller did not pay attention to it. This has led to the situation that has been so long. But now Benjamin Carr is here, and obviously the situation is clear. Sure enough, after browsing Ronald Reagan''s basic situation, campaign advantages and characteristics, he saw an investigation about the situation behind Ronald Reagan. Looking at it, he showed a touch of surprise and interest on his face. PS: Please like for the battle, enter the battle interface, select Jiangxi Province, find me on the homepage, give me a like for Lao Huang, I can click again after sharing, please help! v3 Chapter 831: Victory or defeat The power behind Ronald Reagan even pointed to a Chinese, and he was a shockingly young Chinese, David Rockefeller had to be surprised. When did even the Chinese dare to intervene in the US presidential election? This is the first time in American history! In his long impression, the Chinese in the United States have always been low-key and are not interested in politics. Even if they are bullied, they can bear and endure. At most, they only want to rely on underground forces such as Hongmen to protect themselves. Will not take the initiative to participate in politics, let alone those who have the courage to intervene in the US presidential election and intend to play chess. Continuing to look down, David Rockefeller also saw many detailed information about Xia Yu, such as Xia Yu from Xiangjiang, what bright industries he has in the United States, and his social relations. The information is quite detailed. Think about it, as the leader of the Republican Party, Benjamin Carr, when he ordered someone to be investigated, he could directly order people from relevant departments in the U.S. government to check. The CIA, FBI and other departments all have Republicans present and even in charge of a certain person. For example, George Bush served as director of the CIA from 1975 to 1977. In front of the state apparatus, Xia Yu''s information that had not been deliberately hidden deeply was naturally easily collected. That is, the equity that has been complicatedly processed offshore, as well as a small part of the power, cannot be found in a short time. "Interestingly, he turned out to be the leader of an Asian consortium. This strength is no longer weak. He has such an achievement at this age, either a puppet manipulated or a top genius." When David Rockefeller saw the information of the Jiuding Consortium created by Xia Yu on the data, his eyes couldn''t help but narrowed and muttered to himself. At this moment, he suddenly felt the idea of ??seeing Xia Yu, to see what this young Chinese was like. If Xia Yu is really not a puppet, that would be interesting... Gradually, all the information about Ronald Reagan was finished. David Rockefeller continued to be patient and read the latest information of other candidates. He had a clear view of the election. Seeing David Rockefeller finally put down the pamphlet, Benjamin Carr, who had been waiting for a long time, asked softly the ultimate goal of coming tonight: "David, what do you think of these candidates?" After speaking, Benjamin Carr looked at David Rockefeller with scorching eyes. There was a flash of thought in David Rockefeller¡¯s eyes, and he took a sip of the coffee slowly, and said: ¡°The current campaign situation is good for us, but the Democratic Party¡¯s Jimmy Carter is still on top, even though he has done a lot because of his time in Iran. It¡¯s awful, it has lost the hearts of the people, but in the eyes of all Americans, he is still trying his best to rescue the hostages. This is a variable!" "Although the Democratic presidential candidate has not been decided, it is not surprising that it will be him in half a month. We need the person who can compete with Jimmy Carter with the most advantage." There is a reason why David Rockefeller is still so vigilant. Although Jimmy Carter made a series of mistakes, he is the reigning president after all. This identity gives him the biggest advantage in this campaign. Since the founding of the United States, there has never been a precedent for the current president to fail in a re-election campaign. If Jimmy Carter fails, it will create another record in American politics. Because of this, David Rockefeller had to pay attention to the biggest trump card of the Democratic Party. Facing the question of David Rockefeller, Benjamin Carr said without hesitation: "Ronald Reagan has the greatest advantage over Jimmy Carter!" "Perhaps Ronald Reagan''s resume and background is the worst of all candidates, but he has the confidence that fearful Americans need most." "Now, whether it is the international situation or the domestic economic and employment situation, the public has a feeling of impetuousness. Ronald Reagan is very smart, and his campaign team has created a calm, confident and decisive image for him. , He is the best actor in this presidential campaign!" "And Ronald Reagan''s performance is exactly what Jimmy Carter did not have. This is a great advantage!" This is indeed the case. Jimmy Carter¡¯s resume is very demanding. He has experience in the Navy, entered the submarine force, and is a nuclear reactor expert in the United States. After changing jobs, he became very successful in business and became governor in politics. He was very effective in working and actively eliminating racial discrimination and won a great reputation. Regardless of the knowledge level or the ruling attitude, Jimmy Carter is the best candidate, and his personal morals are perfect, he is also very decent and simple, very hardworking, and it can be said that everything is done by himself. But Jimmy Carter has several shortcomings, such as lack of decisiveness, unpragmatism, hard work and can run without considering the overall situation. It is precisely because of his shortcomings that led to the Iran hostage crisis and the war in Afghanistan last year. These two events have completely lost the face of the Americans, and have also made American allies panic. Americans are afraid of losing their confidence and being humiliated by their powerful country, but Jimmy Carter, as president, is unable to solve these problems. These two biggest political weaknesses of Jimmy Carter are now being targeted by Ronald Reagan. In a series of speeches and propaganda, the latter always gives people a confident and calm image. There are fundamental factors in creating such an image, but it also benefits from Xia Yu''s guidance to him. With Xia Yu''s strong guidance, Reagan''s campaign team forged him a better campaign policy. "Ronald Reagan..." David Rockefeller nodded slightly and considered. After more than ten seconds of consideration, David Rockefeller made up his mind and pushed Ronald Reagan. Not only is the advantage greater, but Ronald Reagan¡¯s grassroots background is more likely to be "influenced" by them and more capable On the contrary, Gerald Ford, George Bush and others with a deeper background and background have too strong interests behind them. Although they belong to the Republican camp like the Rockefeller consortium, competition among consortia also exists. As for the interests behind Ronald Reagan, the threat to the Rockefeller consortium is not great. Even if Ronald Reagan succeeds in taking office, he must complete the exchange of interests with all parties. This unspoken rule cannot be prevented, but it is great. Wei Rockefeller is confident that he can easily take the initiative. And David Rockefeller is not worried about the brightly colored Xia Yu hidden behind Ronald Reagan. After all, this is the United States. Xia Yu¡¯s skin color determines that even if he planted a tree, he would not be on the land of the United States. You may not be able to harvest fruit successfully. Due to the rules, Ronald Reagan may fulfill his promise with Xia Yu, but it is also limited to the rules. The key depends on whether Xia Yu has the strength and qualifications to enjoy it. If Xia Yu thinks that if he affects the president, he will be able to flow unimpeded in the United States, then David Rockefeller believes that Xia Yu will soon hit the wall. The United States is a country of capital! David Rockefeller¡¯s choice coincides with Benjamin Carr. In his opinion, choosing Ronald Reagan is also the most beneficial to the Republican Party and can help the Republican Party to regain the top to the maximum. So he immediately said: "Okay, David, in half a month, you will see the answer you want to see." The job of the party leader is to coordinate the work of the Republican Party, and persuading people to vote is one of the most important tasks. David Rockefeller smiled and nodded: "Benjamin, thank you for your hard work!" Benjamin Carr smiled indifferently, and he indulged for a moment and said to David Rockefeller: "David, I can solve the election, and other things need your attention. Before the election is over, Iran must not bow its head. Otherwise it will be a huge trouble." David Rockefeller smiled and nodded: "You can rest assured that Morgan is not my opponent in the Middle East." The Iran hostage crisis is one of Jimmy Carter¡¯s two biggest political black spots. If Jimmy Carter is allowed to solve this problem during the critical period of the campaign, it will make him recover from the decline and increase his reputation. The variables will be huge. Up! At this moment, David Rockefeller has decided to do his best to stop this, and even let this black spot become Ronald Reagan''s political achievements, igniting the first fire for the new official to take office! Seeing David Rockefeller''s attitude, Benjamin Carr was completely relieved. He believed in the strength of the Rockefeller consortium. Moreover, it is difficult to accomplish any thing, but it is much easier to destroy. In fact, according to the original historical trajectory, Jimmy Carter has been working hard for the detained American citizens, trying to resolve the matter to add points to his re-election campaign. But what¡¯s interesting is that he worked hard for nearly a year without any results, but on the day he left the White House, the day Ronald Reagan took office, Iran released people... "Benjamin, you tell Ronald Reagan that I want to see him at ten o''clock the next morning." "Okay, I will inform him, he should be very happy..." That night, in less than an hour, it completely determined the direction of the US election. When Benjamin Carr left David Rockefeller gave an order to his subordinates to continue to investigate Xia Yu''s foundation. He was very interested in Xia Yu. In particular, he also selected Ronald Reagan, so there will be intersections if he can''t avoid it later, he has to get to know this young Chinese... The next morning, at about half past six, George Bush got up and read the congratulatory message prepared last night. After confirming that it was correct, he sent the congratulatory message. At 7:30 in the morning, Ronald Reagan, who had just had breakfast, saw the congratulatory message sent by the team, and he immediately called George Bush to greet him. By nine o''clock, he received another call from party leader Benjamin Carr. This day is destined to be Ronald Reagan¡¯s surprise day. Just as Ronald Reagan was preparing to visit David Rockefeller, Xia Yu once again set foot on the land of the West Coast of the United States. PS: Please ask for two likes, I am in the interface of Jiangxi Province, thank you! v3 Chapter 832: Operating system shaping When Xia Yu came out of San Francisco International Airport, he saw Peter Lynch and others outside the airport. "Boss, welcome back!" Peter Lynch said with a big smile. "Peter, during the time I''m away, you have worked hard!" Xia Yu looked kind and looked at Peter Lynch with admiration. "No hard work, this is our job responsibility!" Peter Lynch smiled slightly and said modestly. During this time, Peter Lynch did not let Xia Yu down. Some of the tasks he arranged were doing well. Although he was not in the United States, he would call Peter Lynch from abroad from time to time to learn about the company''s current situation remotely. After a few simple greetings, everyone got on the car, and the car drove in the same direction. After simply returning home to put down his things, Xia Yu came to the company non-stop to learn more about the company''s results and operating conditions. On the phone before, Peter Lynch had told him something, but how could he tell him clearly? The results of the company during this period of time cannot be read in a short while, especially Xia Yu asked Peter Lynch not to forget to list him the process. Unconsciously, the day passed in a flash. It was not until the evening when he was lying in bed after taking a shower at home that Xia Yu had read all the materials and had a very clear outline of the company''s situation. The passage of this period of time, to sum up, is actually two words-acquisition! Although Xia Yu is not in the company, Peter Lynch has implemented Xia Yu''s spending plan very well, and exchanged the green U.S. dollars for each company''s stock. One of the biggest results is the successful acquisition of Abbott. When Xia Yu settled the Rothschild family in London, the obstacles that appeared in the acquisition of Abbott¡¯s stock disappeared without a trace, and the following naturally went smoothly. In the end, Polaris Capital acquired Abbott¡¯s wholly-owned private subsidiary at a price of US$3.23 billion. Then, for the retail company, it acquired 35% of the equity of Dayton Hudson and 17.5% of the equity of Wal-Mart, becoming the largest shareholder outside the Walton family, and adding A total of US$270 million was spent on the wholly-owned acquisition of the member store. Xia Yu also learned that Peter Lynch followed his instructions. After acquiring the Price member store, he was reorganized into a Costco retail company. In addition to the Price member store, it also established a good How big the city store department. As for Costco''s retail company, the general manager is Jim Singanel, and the deputy general manager is Jeff Brotman. The founder of the original Price member store left with money. In addition to the retail industry, Peter Lynch followed Xia Yu¡¯s instructions to invest in the high-tech sector, spending a total of 43.2 million US dollars and investing in more than 50 companies, with varying degrees of shareholding. . Two of the most eye-catching are companies based in Silicon Valley. A company called "relational software company" may sound unfamiliar, but its founder is a household name in later generations. It is Ellison. Therefore, this company is the predecessor of Oracle, and it has a bright future. Polaris Capital joined the second round of financing and, as the lead investor, took a 10% stake in the relational software company. The other company is Yi Anxin, which was just established last year. Polaris Capital¡¯s investment is an angel round investment. Peter Lynch is very optimistic about the company¡¯s founding team and model, and directly used 1 million US dollars to smash 100%. Forty equity. This company later grew to the sixth largest software company in the world, and was finally acquired by Dell in 2015 for a price of 67 billion US dollars. It doesn''t matter if you catch two super fish at once, even if dozens of other companies fail to invest. The future returns of these two companies are enough. Of course, it would be great if the investment of other companies could make money. Xia Yu also discovered that among the dozens of companies he invested in, some of them were companies that were well-known for later generations. Generally speaking, it is definitely a wise move to find Peter Lynch to manage the North Star Company. But Xia Yu is still not satisfied. He thinks that his shareholding in relational software companies is too small, only 10%! It''s fine if you haven''t found it. Since you have found it, if you are still indifferent, it will definitely strike the sky. In the future, the market value of Oracle once exceeded US$200 billion. In other words, if relational software companies no longer raise funds, even if they hold 1% of the equity, they will be worth US$2 billion in future generations! Of course, it is not realistic to want relational software companies not to raise funds in the future, at least there is still a financing process for listing. But in any case, taking one percent more equity now is a huge victory. How much money is better than this? Fortunately, Xia Yu had seen strong winds and waves, and had been able to calm down in the face of huge wealth, so he had a good night''s sleep. The next morning, Xia Yu came to Polaris Capital and called Peter Lynch to his office. Seeing Peter Lynch waiting quietly for him to give orders, Xia Yu didn¡¯t hesitate to open the materials he saw at night and pushed it to Peter Lynch¡¯s face, and said to him: ¡°Peter, I¡¯ve seen the company¡¯s investment results. , Your vision is very good, and you have found a lot of potential stocks that I am optimistic about." "The equity of this Yianxin company is listed as not for sale. If we continue to raise funds in the future, we will make every effort to follow up to ensure that the equity is not diluted. The more equity we can get, the better, but the premise is not to interfere in the company''s operations. Financial investment." "There is also this relational software company. Ten percent of the equity is too small. Looking forward to the next financing, it will take too long and you will not get much equity. You can arrange for someone to acquire the equity of other shareholders and acquire as much as possible. I will draw a line for you to increase the shareholding ratio to at least 30%!" Peter Lynch nodded and said that he had listened. He looked at the two companies circled on the material with a serious expression, and solemnly said: "Boss, I will remember. I''ll make arrangements later." ... After staying in San Francisco for two days After Xia Yu handled all the affairs of Polaris Capital, he boarded the plane to the west coast, plus the transfer time, arrived in Seattle a day later and arrived. Seattle Computer Products Company. Since Xia Yu set the tone for the development of the operating system, the entire company has focused resources on this project. When Xia Yu was working before, the development speed was very fast and there were few bugs, but he was helpless to leave later, which caused the development speed to drop a lot. Fortunately, the entire framework has been set, and it is relatively easy to improve it. Therefore, when Xia Yu came to the company again and learned about the SCP-DOS system, he thought the product was eye-catching enough and it was time to take it to IBM! After tidying up, Xia Yu took Thyssen Patterson and several subordinates, with samples of the developed system installed, and headed to Boca Raton. () v3 Chapter 833: Showing fox tail "Mr. Xia, it''s been a long time since I saw you, why are you here?" At the IBM microcomputer development department in Bocaleyton, Xia Yu approached the head of the department, Don Esther Qi. After seeing Xia Yu, the latter shook hands with Xia Yu in surprise. "Tang, I have something to do at home so I went back. I have just returned to the United States these few days. It has been a long time since I saw you. It can be seen that you have had a very fulfilling time during this time." Xia Yu said jokingly, his eyes also specifically looked at Don Este Qi''s hair and stubble. At this time Don Esther Qi did look sloppy and sloppy, with curly hair that was messy, and he was obviously often scratched, and his beard was messy, like a clump of weeds. When Xia Yu came last time, Don Este Qi was not like this, when the microcomputer development department had just been established. However, Xia Yu also understands that the appearance of Don Esther Qi is very common in the scientific research departments of major high-tech companies in later generations. Researchers go crazy and forget about sleep and food, and there is no need to take care of personal hygiene. Don Esther Qi heard Xia Yu''s meaning, laughed, and said nonchalantly: "It''s true that I had a very fulfilling life. Fortunately, the progress of the project is relatively large, and my efforts have not been wasted." Xia Yu was surprised and asked: "The project is progressing a lot? How far is it now?" Don Esther Qi did not hide it, and directly led Xia Yu to the laboratory to introduce the specific progress of the project. After some understanding, Xia Yu understood the progress of the IBM microcomputer, and the progress was indeed fast. At present, the framework of the microcomputer has been given, and hardware is now being produced. In terms of hardware, IBM has advantages and strong technical strength, so the progress is fast. Of course, what are the software requirements are also listed, and some simple software is under development. Xia Yu could see that IBM''s microcomputers still have a trace of Apple''s shadow. It can be seen that Don Esther has indeed learned the strengths of Apple''s computers. But it doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s only the early stage. When the components continue to be improved and adjusted and adjusted in the later stage, they will naturally create their own characteristics. Just like building a house, once a rough house is built, the quality of the house behind it depends on whether it is decorated casually or refined. Closer to home, Xia Yu did not forget the purpose of this visit. He walked to the table, picked up an Intel 8088 microprocessor, and knowingly asked Don Esther Qi: "Tang, why did you choose to use the Intel 8088 microprocessor as our first-generation microcomputer? Processor? Why not use the better 8086 microprocessor?" Don Esther Qi was taken aback, and then smiled and explained: "Mr. Xia, this has been thoroughly discussed by the entire department. In fact, we have tested all the high-performance microprocessors on the market. Combining our positioning of the first generation of microcomputers, we found that the 8088 microprocessor is the most suitable for us. Each microprocessor has detailed experimental data. Follow me." After speaking, Don Esther Qi brought Xia Yu to a large vertical cabinet and found a blue file box. After opening it, he took out a stack of bound text and spread it out to Xia Yu. Introduce it. I discussed it with Xia Yu before, so Don Esther Qi is not worried that Xia Yu cannot understand these data. Xia Yu stayed patient, looked through the experimental data one by one with a smile, and then suddenly said: "It is indeed the 8088 microprocessor that is more suitable. Good performance does not mean the most suitable. The overall hardware level cannot keep up. The microprocessor is too good. It can''t give full play to its performance, but it increases the cost and is not conducive to bringing it to the market." Don Este Qi smiled and nodded and said, "That''s how we think about it." "A wise choice!" Xia Yu smiled. Immediately afterwards, Xia Yu suddenly asked, "By the way, Tang, I think you haven''t decided on the operating system of the microcomputer yet?" Don Esther Qi smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, not only the operating system, but also the software is currently not bidding outside. Now he is trying to develop his own software, and then he will bid for the difficult software." "However, it has been discussed internally that the operating system will be tendered externally, but based on inquiries, no company has developed an operating system based on the Intel 8088 microprocessor. If there is still no operating system in the future, you can only find a company. Cooperate and commission them to develop an operating system specifically." The Intel 8088 microprocessor is indeed not the mainstream today, and it hasn''t been long since it was launched. Naturally, there are few software developed for it. In the previous life, IBM found no results for a long time, and then through the introduction of Bill Gates¡¯ mother Mary Maxwell Gates, Bill Gates got to know the CEO of IBM Frank T. Cary and let Microsoft get After this operating system customization contract, Microsoft bought the operating system developed based on the Intel 8086 microprocessor from Thyssen Patterson for transformation. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said to Don Esther Qi: "Tang, you are lucky. I know where there is an operating system based on the Intel 8088 microprocessor." Don Esther Qi was taken aback, staring at Xia Yu suddenly and asked: "Mr. Xia, are you kidding me?" He used the resources of IBM to investigate and found nothing. Xia Yu actually said that he knew that Don Esther Qi was indeed a little unbelievable. Of course, he is also looking forward to what Xia Yu said is true. This will speed up the development of IBM microcomputers. When the operating system comes out, the speed of software development will increase, and it will be less difficult to develop for the operating system. It is easier to adapt, and the benefits are many! Xia Yu smiled and nodded, "Tang, what did I lie to you for?" Don Este Qixin must be certain, and then he asked a little timidly: "Can you tell me which company developed it?" Xia Yu smiled faintly: "It happens to be my company in Seattle. The company has developed an operating system based on the Intel 8088 microprocessor after more than four months. This time I plan to find partners across the United States." The reason for exaggerating the fact that for more than four months, Xia Yu is also to avoid the thinking of Don Esther Qi and Frank T. Carrido, causing unnecessary trouble. More than four months ago, IBM had not formally determined that it would develop a microcomputer. No one could say that the news of IBM had leaked out, leading to Xia Yu''s targeted development, right? Don Esther Qi was surprised to hear that it turned out to be Xia Yu''s company. He asked, "Mr. Xia, it turned out to be your company. Can I know which company it is?" "It''s called Seattle Computer Products Company, have you heard of Tang?" Xia Yu said frankly. Don Este Chilima nodded: "I have heard that this is a powerful software company with a certain reputation in the industry. I didn''t expect this company to be yours and also developed the operating system. It''s great. Up." "Mr. Xia, can I try the operating system developed by your company? If the performance is suitable, I will work directly with you, which can reduce a lot of trouble." Facing the straightforward look of Don Este Qi''s expectant eyes, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Tang, you have to wait a day. I will call back and ask the staff to bring the system over. That''s right. Do I need to tell Frank? The development of a microcomputer is a secret matter after all. If it is leaked because of the operating system, there will be trouble." Don Esther Chi suddenly calmed down. He thought for a while and said helplessly: "Well, this is indeed a possible trouble. I''ll call the president." After speaking, Don Esther Chi resolutely went to the office and dialed the number of the IBM president¡¯s office. After a few minutes of communication, he relaxed and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, President Frank wants to talk to You call." "OK!" After speaking, Xia Yu answered the phone: "Frank, good morning." "..." "I am definitely confident in my company''s operating system but it is suitable and inappropriate, and it can only be determined after experimentation. Now I can''t give you a clear result." "..." "Okay, don''t worry, I will keep it secret, and wait for you to come and check it tomorrow." "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu said to the eager Don Esther Qi: "Tang, Frank will come over tomorrow. I will let someone bring the operating system over and experiment together tomorrow." Don Esther Kee shrugged a little helplessly: "Well, it seems that I can''t sleep tonight again. I''ll continue to the lab." Xia Yu nodded and said, "Go, I''ll go first, see you tomorrow!" "Mr. Xia, see you tomorrow!" PS: Like for asking for votes. () v3 Chapter 834: The shock of Bill Gates "Boss, how is it?" When Xia Yu returned to the four-star hotel where Boca Raton was staying, Thyssen Patterson and others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gathered around, looking at Xia Yu expectantly and nervously and asked. This is the moment that decides fate! Although they had strong confidence after learning that the boss Xia Yu was a director of IBM, they also knew that the decision-making power of a company''s strategy belongs to the company''s CEO, not a director. If the operating system developed by the company can be purchased by IBM, it will be difficult for the operating system to fail. IBM''s purchase will be a golden sign, and rocket engines will be installed for the promotion of the SCP-DOS operating system. Looking at the expectations of everyone, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I will take the on-site inspection performance tomorrow, and then IBM President Frank T`Kari will come. Can we cooperate and decide based on the results shown tomorrow. Are you confident? " "Have!" Thyssen Patterson and others immediately responded happily. As long as they get the opportunity, the next step is to test performance. They are confident that their company''s products will definitely conquer the president of IBM. Xia Yu said with satisfaction: ¡°It¡¯s good if you have confidence. Let¡¯s take a rest for one day today. By the way, you will rehearse how to show it tomorrow. Don¡¯t shame our company.¡± "Don''t worry, boss!" ... The next day, seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Xia Yu took Thyssen Patterson and others who were already ready to go to the microcomputer R&D department a few kilometers away. When Xia Yu arrived, he happened to see Frank T. Cary waiting at the door. "Frank, it''s been a long time since I saw you, I''m so glad to see you!" "Mr. Xia, me too!" "These are my employees, Thyssen Patterson, Jack Origi..." After exchanging greetings with each other, Xia Yu introduced both parties again, and then a group of people walked inside. As he walked, Xia Yu said to Frank T. Cary: "Frank, I brought things, do you want to check them directly?" "If you don''t need to rest, go now." Frank T. Cary said with a smile. "Then go directly." "OK! Tang is already in the laboratory, let''s go there together." After a short while, everyone came to the laboratory. After Xia Yu gave a brief introduction to both parties, he went directly to the test procedure. The test program is divided into two processes. The first process is to directly demonstrate the performance of the computer with the SCP-DOS system installed by Xia Yu and others. The second process is to install the SCP-DOS operating system into the IBM company. Among the microcomputers developed, Don Esther Qi and others tested it. When Thyssen Patterson and others assembled the computer and turned it on, a group of people gathered around. Not only Frank T. Cary and Don Esther, but other backbones of the R&D department also gathered around. The first one showed the process and made the eyes of those present brighten up. When the second process was over, the smiles on Frank T. Cary and others'' faces could not be concealed. The test result is obvious, satisfied! "President Frank, this SCP-DOS operating system has exceeded our expectations. This is a great operating system. In terms of performance testing, it is even better than Apple''s operating system!" "Although there was still a little flaw in the test just now, it was because it was not fully compatible with our hardware. As long as the debugging and modification are in place in the later period, there is no problem." Don Esther Qi is full of praise for this operating system. After Thyssen Patterson and others heard this, they all smiled, but they also knew that the final decision was still in the hands of Frank T. Cary, so they suppressed their inner excitement and looked at Frank T. Cary together. in. On the contrary, Xia Yu was very calm in his heart. He smiled and said to Frank T. Cary: "Frank, what do you think?" Frank T. Cary was also an executive from the technical level, so he understood and understood the entire demonstration process, and naturally knew how the SCP-DOS operating system was performing. He also studied the Apple computer system and knew what Don Esther Qi said was true. IBM¡¯s microcomputer was designed to compete with Apple from the very beginning. The SCP-DOS system that Xia Yu has brought is better than Apple¡¯s, and it has a great effect on IBM¡¯s microcomputer. What is there to hesitate? Therefore, he didn''t have any appetite for Xia Yu. He said on the spot: "Mr. Xia, this is a great operating system. I can''t seem to find a reason not to choose." As he said, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and shook his hand instead. "Happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" "Papa Papa..." Seeing that the cooperation was reached, Thyssen Patterson and others were ecstatic and couldn''t help applauding, and the others in the laboratory also followed. After releasing his hand, Frank T. Cary said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you just watched it, because the company¡¯s microcomputer hardware has not been completely finalized, so the operating system compatibility problem needs to be improved. The company sends someone to help." "No problem, it should be." Xia Yu nodded and said. Then he looked at several employees beside him, his eyes fixed on Thyssen Patterson, who also realized that it was him, and his expression became serious. Xia Yu told Thyssen Patterson: "Thyssen, you will be responsible for connecting with Tang next. If there is any difficulty that can''t be solved, you can ask the company for help." "Ok, promise to complete the task!" Thyssen Patterson replied solemnly, with his head held high, and then looking at Don Esther, his eyes met, and the two smiled at each other. "Mr. Xia, this time I did not bring any other personnel. I have to go back to the company to sign the agreement." "No problem, it just happens that I haven''t returned to IBM for so long, so let''s go there together." "That''s right..." ... At noon, to celebrate the cooperation, Xia Yu hosted Frank T. Cary and others at Bocaleyton. After the lunch, Xia Yu and Frank T. Cary set off for Almonk, New York. When I arrived in Almonk, it was almost evening. After Xia Yu separated from Frank T. Cary, he looked for a place to stay by himself. By the next day, Xia Yu came to IBM, and after two hours of negotiation, he reached an agreement and reached a secret business cooperation agreement with IBM on behalf of Seattle Computer Products. Because Xia Yu himself is a major shareholder and director of IBM, and his wealth is strong, Frank T. Cary did not completely put Xia Yu in the same cooperative position as he did with Bill Gates in his previous life, even though Seattle Computer Products The company is far inferior to IBM. After the agreement was signed, the cooperation was officially reached, and Xia Yu''s heart was completely let go. He changed history once again. As long as the cooperation with IBM does not break, and the aircraft carrier of IBM does not break, the SCP-DOS system will become the standard operating system for PCs. The glory of the previous windows system that dominates the world will be controlled by SCP-DOS. System staged. After the cooperation was reached, Xia Yu did not plan to stay any longer, and was ready to return to Seattle, and announced the good news to the employees who were looking forward to it. Frank T. Cary got up and sent Xia Yu out. When Xia Yu was sent to the gate, Xia Yu couldn''t help but raise his brows when he saw two figures walking not far away, showing a meaningful smile. Frank T. Cary followed Xia Yu''s gaze and found that it was Ms. Mary Maxwell Gates, the director of the company, and a young man who resembled her. Could it be her son? "Ms. Gates, good morning!" "President Frank, Xia Xian, good morning!" After Mary Maxwell Gates left, Xia Yu and Frank T. Cary greeted her with greetings. "Ms. Gates, who is this?" Frank T. Cary looked at the young man beside Mary Maxwell Gates and asked about it. Mary Maxwell Gates introduced with a big smile: "This is my son, Bill Gates." "Bill, this is the Frank president of the company." Mary Maxwell Gates introduced to her son, but found that his son was a little gaffe. She looked at Xia Yu in shock. Mary Maxwell Gates couldn''t help frowning and said to him: "Bill, this is The director of the company, Mr. Xia Yuxia." Xia Yu turned out to be a director of IBM! Hearing his mother''s introduction, Bill Gates'' mentality suddenly collapsed. At this moment, he felt in a bad mood. He actually refused Xia Yu''s acquisition before, so this time he came to IBM, even if his mother is here, can he still have a relationship with IBM? The abnormality of Bill Gates made Mary Maxwell Gates frown. Before coming, she had told her son to be confident, but she fell off the chain when she saw two important people in the company. How could she not be angry. So she raised her volume and said angrily, "Bill, are you uncomfortable today? Why don''t you tell mom?" Bill Gates came back to his senses, but his brain was still messed up. He grinned barely and explained, "Mom, I''m sorry I lost my mind." "No, you should not apologize to me, you should apologize to Mr. Frank and Mr. Xia, your behavior is very rude." Mary Maxwell Gates said that Bill Gates also reminded Bill Gates that he wanted to re-impress him. Frank T. Cary kept smiling, while Xia Yu smiled and said to Mary Maxwell Gates: "Ms. Gates, many people will be surprised to see my age. Your son performs better than others. Much better." It¡¯s okay if Xia Yu doesn¡¯t say it He seems to have rescued Bill Gates, Frank T. Cary has a slightly worse impression of Bill Gates, thinking that Bill Gates is a People who judge people by their appearance, and are not good at hiding their emotions, are far from the standard deviation of a successful person. Without waiting for Gates'' mother and son to speak, a car drove up to Xia Yu. Xia Yu said to the three of them: "My car is here, I have something to do, so I will leave first, Frank, Ms. Gates, and Mr. Bill, See you next time!" After speaking, Xia Yu waved his hand to open the car door and sat in. "Goodbye!" After smiling and waving goodbye to Xia Yu, Frank T. Cary smiled and said to Mary Maxwell Gates: "Ms. Gates, shall we go in?" Mary Maxwell Gates smiled, as if nothing happened just now, and said: "Okay, President Frank, please first! I will first take my son to visit and learn about the company''s system." () v3 Chapter 835: Microsoft is no longer Microsoft after all In Frank T. Cary, Mary Gates took her son to the rest area where no one was around, looked at him with a serious face, and asked: "Bill, your performance just now was so bad, what is the reason? " Some distracted Bill Gates concentrated his attention, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and said in a complicated mood: "Mom, things are like this..." Next, Bill Gates described what happened in his company before and Xia Yu''s acquisition intentions. "Mom, things are like this. Before he came, he didn''t show his identity at all. If I knew that he was the real director of IBM, my choice would not be like that." Finally, Bill Gates said with emotion. Mary Gates frowned and said, "Xia Yu actually wants to buy your company?" Without waiting for Bill Gates to speak, she said to herself: "I remember Xia Yu is the chairman of Polaris Capital. This company happens to be a capital investment management company. It is possible to invest in your company." At that time, Xia Yu had just joined the company and had a seat on the board of directors of the company. Mary Gates knew some of Xia Yu''s situation and knew Xia Yu''s details. After understanding Xia Yu, she knew very well that Xia Yu was different from her. Although she is a director of the company, she is only acting on behalf of the company because of her personal connections. In fact, she is only a bond. Although she has a certain degree of autonomy, she is more often just a microphone, reflecting the situation of IBM to her. The bank will then let the bank make a decision to support or veto based on the situation, which runs through the bank¡¯s will. But Xia Yu is different. Xia Yu is the chairman of Polaris Capital. He can make decisions directly. And because of different resources, although Xia Yu came in late, she knows that in Frank T. Cary¡¯s mind, Xia Yu Yu''s weight is heavier than her. To put it more bluntly, Xia Yu is a powerful capitalist, and she is just a bank executive, and her actual social status is much higher than her. Her son Bill Gates rejected Xia Yu''s investment, so this time she wants to help her son match up to see if she can get some business from IBM, which may be difficult. Especially if the business that Bill Gates wants is more important, the more variables exist. Thinking of this, her good expectations when she finished talking to Bill Gates completely disappeared. Glancing at Bill Gates, and discovering that he seemed to be a little bit cloudy, Mary Gates pondered for a moment, intending to introduce Xia Yu''s situation to him. "Bill, don¡¯t look at the young director Xia, but he is the chairman of Polaris Capital. I have learned about him. Although Polaris Capital is a company just established this year, it has invested heavily. Among them, Abbott They were privatized at a price of more than three billion U.S. dollars. In addition, they also invested in many companies, which are very powerful... When Mary Gates said so, Bill Gates understood in seconds, and his expression became heavier. Of course, he has heard of the name of Polaris Capital. After all, he is in the software industry. He naturally knows that a series of large-scale investment of Polaris Capital during this period of time was actually Xia Yu''s company. Although Polaris Capital has been established for a short period of time and is far behind the previous four VCs, in terms of its performance, its strength has surpassed those VCs, and its rise is too rapid. It happened that his company rejected Polaris Capital, and now he regrets how he thinks about it. Mary Gates saw her son''s gradually ugly face and knew that his mentality was affected, which was not a good thing. She immediately said to Bill Gates: "Bill, don''t be too pessimistic. You have to think on the bright side. Polaris Capital wants to invest in your company. Then it proves that your company has great potential. You have chosen the right one. Road, mother supports you to keep going." "And you can also spread the news, and it will definitely attract many capital companies to invest in you." It''s just that she was not as optimistic as she said in her heart. We still have to see what President Frank¡¯s attitude is, and whether we can get an order for his son¡¯s company. It has been a while since the beginning of the development of microcomputers, and when I think about it, I should be considering software. "Mom, you are right. My company has potential. As long as I manage my company well, I will definitely succeed!" Bill Gates smiled and said firmly, seeming to encourage himself. Mary Gates smiled and encouraged: "Yes, you will succeed." "Let''s go, I will take you around the company, you have to observe more, IBM has a lot of outstanding things you can learn from." After speaking, Mary Gates got up and took Bill Gates to continue walking around. After strolling for an hour or so, Mary Gates asked her son to wait in the lounge, and she walked into the president¡¯s office. Frank T. Cary was working on documents at the desk. After hearing the footsteps, she looked up and looked out the door. . "Ms. Gates, where is your handsome son?" Frank T. Cary put down the pen and asked with a smile. Mary Gates sat opposite Frank T. Cary and smiled and said: "He is in the lounge. I just took him around the company. He has already started a business and has a software company, so I asked him to come to the company. Take a tour and learn, IBM has many corporate cultures and systems worthy of him to learn." Frank T. Cary smiled and nodded: "This is a great idea. If he can learn something, it will be very helpful to him." "I think he is young, only twenty years old. I didn''t expect to have started his own business. He inherited your excellent genes." Frank T. Cary praised. Mary Gates smiled and thanked, and then talked about Bill Gates¡¯ message: "Thank you, this is mainly due to him. He is very assertive. When he was 19 years old in Harvard University, he ignored me and his father. He came out to start his own business. He was only 19 years old at the time and he has been running the company for five years now..." Frank T. Cary was surprised this time. He didn''t expect Bill Gates to drop out of school and start a business at 19, and after listening to Mary Gates'' introduction, the image of Bill Gates'' genius appeared in his mind. Of course, Frank T. Cary was not stupid at all to be the president of IBM. Mary Gates suddenly ran in to tell him about Bill Gates''s merits. He must have some thoughts. He didn''t point out, just smiled and exclaimed: "Your son is really a genius. I believe he can bring the Gates family to another peak." "At this point, I also believe that at least his achievements will be higher than his father." Mary Gates laughed. After chatting for a while, I found that Frank T. Cary had not followed her words and said that he couldn''t find the entry point. Mary Gates couldn''t help it. After indulging for a moment, he finally realized the real purpose. "Okay, President Frank, I came to you today for one thing." "Please speak!" Frank T. Cary leaned forward slightly and made a listening posture, smiling at Mary Gates. Mary Gates asked: "President Frank, the microcomputer has been developed for so long. I don''t know how the company decides on the software? R&D or outsourcing for tenders?" Frank T. Cary''s eyes became deep, and he paused and said vaguely: "This depends on the situation, mainly Don Este Qi is in charge. Some will develop on their own, and of course some will bid for external parties. Which ones, I still don¡¯t know.¡± Mary Gates is certainly a director of the company, but when it comes to the operation of the company, she has no right to interfere with him. At most, she can give him some advice. It is his business whether to adopt or not. If he wants to let him execute it, only the board of directors can vote. Row. Now it is clear that Mary Gates is trying to build a bridge for her son''s company. If it is just right and can meet the standard, it is not impossible to sell her face. But if the request is too excessive, he will not do. He is the president of the company and must be responsible for all directors and shareholders. The reason why the microcomputer R&D department was placed far away from the headquarters in Boca Leiden was not to avoid various influences and the bureaucratic atmosphere of the company? If it is easily influenced by Mary Gates, why should it cause such trouble? Of course, the cooperation with Xia Yu is different, because the SCP-DOS system of Seattle Computer Products is really great. Frank T. Cary''s answer obviously did not satisfy Mary Gates. She immediately asked without giving up: "President Frank, I wonder if the operating system has been finalized?" If the operating system has not been finalized, then the software of the microcomputer is absolutely impossible to finalize. Seeing Mary Gates¡¯ scorching gaze, Frank T. Cary hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: ¡°It¡¯s been set, the performance is not bad, and it has been voted by all the R&D staff, but the specific information is because of confidentiality System, so sorry." Mary Gates was disappointed in her heart, but she could only smile reluctantly: "OK, I understand, as a company director, of course, I must take the company''s interests as everything." Frank T. Cary said that, it is impossible to talk any further. But Mary Gates didn''t give up, she was active in her thinking, and immediately changed a way, planning to curve to save the country, to see if she could show her son in front of Frank T. Card, and win his approval. So she changed the conversation and said: "President Frank, I don''t know if it is inconvenient for you. If possible, can you spend a little time to teach my son a little bit of experience. I hope he can avoid detours." For this non-excessive request, due to the director¡¯s face and thinking that he would need his support later, Frank T. Cary did not refuse, smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, but I have to go there in half an hour. ." "Okay, thank you, I''ll call him in now." After speaking, Mary Gates got up and walked away quickly. Soon, Bill Gates walked in without arrogance and regained his self-confidence. The difference between before and after made Frank T. Cary feel like he was right in front of him. Next, Frank T. Cary talked with Bill Gates for a long time, and Bill Gates also seized this opportunity to show his strengths and knowledge as much as possible, which won the praise of Frank T. Cary. But unfortunately, he just signed an operating system agreement with Xia Yu today. The most difficult part has been solved. Other software aspects are either independently developed or planned to find Seattle Computer Products. After all, the operating system is developed by it, and the research and development capabilities are already available. He has obtained his approval, and the efficiency and quality of the software development are also guaranteed. So until half an hour passed, Frank T. Cary didn''t say anything dry. Mary Gates, who was sitting quietly for half an hour, saw Frank T. Cary looking at his watch, and had to take Bill Gates away with regret. "Bill, it''s a pity that mom didn''t help you." Stepping out of IBM, Mary Gates said guiltily. On the contrary, Bill Gates was very optimistic and smiled and comforted: "Mom, I came here today I feel that I have gained a lot. After I return, I believe that I can manage the company better. I have gained a lot. thanks Mom!" It''s just that he has no regrets in his heart that he didn''t get on the ship of IBM? Mary Gates felt a little better now, packed her mood, and looked at her son encouragingly: "Bill, mom believes you will succeed, come on!" "Mom, I will work hard! I will be your pride!" Bill Gates said confidently. Mary Gates smiled happily and proudly, stroked Bill Gates'' head and said: "Bill, you have been the pride of your mother since childhood, and your father and I are proud of you!" "Let''s go, it''s already past eleven o''clock, let''s have lunch, there is a restaurant nearby that has good craftsmanship." ... With the appearance of Xia Yu, Microsoft will no longer be the same Microsoft in the previous life... v3 Chapter 836: Xia Yus suggestion Chapter 836 Time passed by. On July 7, a major event occurred in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government officially ordered the merger of the four stock exchanges in order to regulate the financial order of Hong Kong and improve the financial development environment of Hong Kong. Named the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. After the announcement of this decision, the whole Xiangjiang was shaken. However, Xia Yu knew about this for a long time, and ordered his subordinates of banks and securities companies to pay close attention to them and wait for opportunities to participate. At the very least, he would get a member of the Exchange Committee. Of course, Xia Yu also knows that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange only exists on paper, with only one name, and even the committee has not been established. The four stock exchanges will continue to operate until April 1986, when the Hong Kong Joint Exchange All other exchanges will be shut down. Calculating carefully, if he does not intervene in the advancement, there are still five years and nine months left by then, and it is still early! After instructing Xia Yu to pay attention, Xia Yu immediately left behind and continued to be busy in the United States. Follow up with Seattle Computer Products Company today, and follow up with Polaris Capital Company tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the day after tomorrow will be the branch of Galaxy Fund... Xia Yu''s life is quite fulfilling. In a blink of an eye, in mid-July, the Republican National Congress of the United States arrived as scheduled. Xia Yu watched the whole process in front of the TV. That''s right, the National Congress of the Republican Party of the United States is open to the entire United States directly through the television network. This is also a good publicity opportunity to let voters across the United States know who the Republican presidential candidate is. In these more than ten days, not only George Bush gave up, but many other candidates were given the job by Republican leader Benjamin Carr. They chose to abandon the campaign for the sake of the overall situation. Of course, some of them refused to give up. But the supporters of the candidates who gave up were all told to vote for Ronald Wilson Reagan at the National Convention. Therefore, when Ronald Reagan appeared on the podium as the first nominee to speak, the number of votes quickly broke through 1,237 votes, directly locking the identity of the Republican presidential candidate, and the people behind either showed regret or expressed regret. The deputy looked at it for granted. Although Ronald Reagan secured the victory, it does not mean that he will be able to represent the Republican Party in the national election. Other independent contenders also have a slight possibility. Whether it is possible or not depends on Ronald in the next four months. Can De Reagan keep it steady? According to the past general elections, scandals, shoe smashing, etc. will happen. If the Democratic Party bursts out of his huge scandal later, it will not be impossible for the Republican Party to change its supporters. So after the Republican National Congress, two more people stood up high-profile and declared in front of the media that they would never give up until the last minute and would participate in the presidential election as an independent candidate of the Republican Party. One of them was Republican Representative John B. Anderson, one of them is Republican Senator Polk Coster. Two days later, the Democratic National Convention was held in New York. In the end, the current President Jimmy Carter won the Democratic Party¡¯s presidential nomination and will represent the Democratic Party in the general elections in the coming months. The identities of the presidential candidates of the two parties have been determined, so the next most important thing is to quickly form a campaign team. This campaign team is no bigger than the previous campaign team. Those who did not place a bet will put aside the last bit of reservation and choose to join the two teams. The interviewers on these two teams are not the others, but Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. The team candidate that needs to be determined most is the vice presidential candidate! In Washington, Xia Yu saw Ronald Reagan again. Ronald Reagan, who had already won a phased victory, had a high spirits. Although he was sixty-nine years old, he looked vigorous with his black hair. However, facing the big benefactor of Xia Yu, his attitude remained the same as before, not arrogant, but rather enthusiastic. "Mr. Xia, you are welcome, please come in!" "Our future Mr. President, it''s so nice to see you again!" "It''s too early. Jimmy Carter is the current president. I want to succeed in the election. There is still a long way to go..." "Mr. Reagan, I don''t think Jimmy Carter will be your opponent," After the two embraced and exchanged lightly, Ronald Reagan welcomed Xia Yu and others in. "Boss, good morning!" At this time, Ronald Reagan''s financial adviser Rhodes Saxon greeted Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response to his subordinates. "Good morning, Rhodes, I have worked hard for you this time!" "No hard work, this is what I should do..." Soon, the group came to the living room to drink coffee and chat, of course, the topic has always been around the presidential election. "Mr. Reagan, who do you plan to find as your partner in the next general election, such as the Vice President?" After taking a sip of coffee, Xia Yu put down the cup and asked with a smile. Ronald Reagan smiled, his expression became serious, and he stared at Xia Yu and shook his head and said, "I haven''t decided yet. The candidate is still under investigation. Mr. Xia, you should understand that this position is in the Constitution. No specific power was stipulated, and there was no sense of existence in the early days, but in this era, this position is very important. A good vice president will affect the presidential election and the post-election term." Xia Yu nodded and said, "I know what you said. Although you have obtained the resources of the Republican Party, the resources of the Republican Party are still limited. The United States is a country of capital, and you need to get the support of enough consortia." Ronald Reagan said frankly: "Yes!" After speaking, he asked back: "Mr. Xia, do you have any suggestions?" Xia Yu thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "I really have a suggestion." Ronald Reagan raised his brows and became interested, and asked, "I don''t know who can get your approval from Mr. Xia?" Xia Yu smiled faintly and spit out a name: "Your original competitor, George Bush." Ronald Reagan was surprised. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to recommend this person. He knew that George Bush had given up the presidential campaign and called him half a month ago. And if nothing else, George Bush is now probably vacationing in Hawaii. Half a month ago, after George Bush congratulated him, he asked casually. George Bush told him with relief that he had been nervous for so long and planned to take his wife to relax. Ronald Reagan quickly flashed several possibilities in his mind, and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, wanting to know the reason: "Mr. Xia, why do you think he would be suitable? He had participated in the presidential candidate campaign before!" Xia Yu asked with a smile: "Mr. Reagan, although he participated in the presidential candidate campaign and lost to you, but think about it in another way. If there is a position of vice president for you, would you be willing to come?" Ronald Reagan thought for a while and shrugged and said: "I don''t think I will refuse. This will be a huge political capital, and there are many precedents from vice president to president." "That''s it?" "Mr. Reagan, of all the Republican presidential candidates this time, George Bush is the best partner for you." "His political views are closest to yours, and because he has served as a diplomat in many countries, his international vision is very broad. If you partner with you, the two of you can form a very good complementary role." "The most important thing is that the Bush family not only has great energy in the political field, but the Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium. As long as you bring George Bush to your side, then you will have a very good chance. Get the resources of the Texas Consortium!" Ronald Reagan looked thoughtful, carefully pondering Xia Yu''s words, the more he pondered, the more reasonable he became. Seeing the change of Ronald Reagan''s complexion, Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly. Originally, this matter of selecting the vice president was to be discussed and recommended by his team. In the end, Ronald Reagan decided who to use. Unlike the presidential candidate, the choice of the vice presidential candidate is entirely in the hands of Ronald Reagan, just like he is the boss and recruiting employees during the interview. Of course, other people can also give suggestions, so Xia Yu''s proposal now is not considered an overstep. It was a long time before Ronald Reagan recovered. He looked at Xia Yu who was smiling and said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, your suggestion is very relevant, and I will consider it carefully." "By the way, Mr. Xia, do you know George Bush?" Xia Yu shook his head and said, "I don''t know him at all, of course I am looking forward to meeting him." Ronald Reagan nodded, regardless of what Xia Yu said, and said: "Okay, I am good friends with him, I think he will definitely want to meet you." Xia Yu smiled and said, "I look forward to that day!" After laughing, Xia Yu changed the topic: "Mr. Reagan, in the next four months, I will let my media company do its best to raise the flag for you. If the campaign funds, I will sponsor you another 10 million US dollars. Transfer it to your campaign account in a reasonable manner within a month." Ronald Reagan was pleasantly surprised. His love for Xia Yu has risen linearly. He is indeed a bold boss. He has never asked him, but he is a person who supports you from beginning to end, and the support is strong, and he is particularly straightforward. . "Mr. Xia, thank you for your great support, I will never forget your help to me!" Ronald Reagan said gratefully. "Mr. Reagan, you deserve my support, and are we friends?" Xia Yu said with a smile. Ronald Reagan nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, you will always be my friend, and one of the most important friends in my life!" "Let''s use coffee instead of wine to toast our friendship!" "Cheers! Eternal friendship!" Xia Yu smiled and raised the cup. "Hey!" ... "Rhodes You still need to work hard to help Mr. Reagan." After celebrating, Xia Yu said to Rhodes Saxon who had been listening next to him. Xia Yu is not a commanding tone. Although Rhodes Saxon was originally a financial elite, he is now only a member of Ronald Reagan''s team. But Youdao is one person who can ascend to heaven. As long as Ronald Reagan takes the post, Rhodes Saxon will jump into the White House and become a senior politician, and he will also be the president''s confidant. Rhodes Saxon also knew that his mission and the future were all related to Ronald Reagan, so he emphasized his assurance: "Don''t worry, boss, I will fully support Mr. Reagan." "Mr. Xia, Mr. Rhodes has been doing well and I am very satisfied with his work." "That would be great." ... () v3 Chapter 837: David Rockefellers calculations After Xia Yu left, Ronald Reagan considered Xia Yu''s proposal at home, and then convened his team to discuss. Regardless of Ronald Reagan being over sixty years old, even in his early years, but there is no lack of the decisive character of young people. After the discussion is appropriate, he has made up his mind. Then he visited the Republican Party leader Benjamin Carr and asked for his opinion. Benjamin Carr naturally knew the situation of the Bush family, and also believed that Ronald Reagan''s choice was wise, and expressed his support. So Ronald Reagan called George Bush and explained his thoughts. The latter was messed up while on vacation and said he would consider it carefully. Then George Bush hurriedly packed his bags and flew back to Houston from Hawaii. I called a group of my friends to analyze the pros and cons... Just as the Republicans and Democrats were ready to go again, in the Rockefeller family of New York, David Rockefeller received a detailed investigation report on Xia Yu from his subordinates. A large part of the report content of the Rockefeller family investigation overlaps with the previous investigation by Benjamin Karl. But there are also parts that have not been investigated before, such as commercial information. "It seems that he still has a certain business connection with us, but he seems to have come together with the Rohill family, which is interesting..." After reading all the information quietly, David Rockefeller muttered to himself with interest. It is said that Xia Yu is connected with the Rockefeller Foundation because there are several intersections. In fact, Xia Yu¡¯s current business is not too small. Of course, it should be said that the Rockefeller Consortium¡¯s commercial tentacles spread all over the world. Even David Rockefeller can¡¯t say exactly how many assets he has, and can only be done through detailed liquidation. Yes, it was only after investigation that the Rockefeller Foundation and Xia Yu''s cooperation were known. Regarding Hong Kong, the China Power Corporation, which was acquired by Xia Yu, cooperated with Standard Oil Corporation of the Rockefeller Consortium as early as 1964 to form Peninsula Electric Power Co., Ltd., although this company is operated by China Power Corporation, but it is a controlling shareholder. Power is in the hands of Standard Oil Company, and China Power Company holds only 40% of the shares. In the United States, the most in-between is the Coca-Cola Company, which is still on the verge of a whirlpool. It was here at The Coca-Cola Company that David Rockefeller learned about the vague relationship between Xia Yu and the Rothier family. The investigators obviously also have the essence of the investigation. Knowing this is what David Rockefeller is most interested in, so he went along the way to find out the connection between the Luoshir family and Xia Yu. Then the issue of Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland also came out. Seeing this, David Rockefeller had already determined in his heart that Xia Yu had a deep relationship with the Rohill family. But what is the relationship between the two is worth pondering. After reading the information, the first impression was that Xia Yu was the spokesperson of the Rothschild family, but after careful consideration, there are many points that are worth questioning. This specious obscurity makes David Rockefeller interesting. Of course, what interests him most is the oil futures contract held by Xia Yu in an unknown but very large amount! The international crude oil price is still in a skyrocketing mode. As the global oil throne, David Rockefeller is not joking about the monitoring of the oil industry. Therefore, despite the fact that the Galaxy Fund has hidden and found many financial institutions, it is still very prominent that a group of Chinese went to Wall Street to buy oil on a large scale. Following the vine, it still points to Xia Yu. In order to speculate in oil futures, the Galaxy Fund has leveraged ten times its leverage, and it has found many institutions. But the Rockefeller consortium¡¯s network on Wall Street let him know the transaction data of many banks. According to the current information, the Galaxy Fund holds more than $5 billion in oil futures. This huge amount is not as large as the amount of oil futures held by the Rockefeller consortium, but it is also considerable. If it can take over, it may bring a net profit of at least one billion U.S. dollars for the Rockefeller family. This is not a small amount. For the Rockefeller consortium, which is dominated by David Rockefeller with assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, it is still a bit tempting. After careful consideration, David Rockefeller discovered with regret that normal commercial methods seem to be unable to win it. According to the data, although the Galaxy Fund is leveraging ten times the financial leverage to do long oil futures, the market entry price is generally around US$20. But now the price of oil futures has already reached more than $30. According to the normal method of the futures industry, it is to directly liquidate multiple positions, and then take over after forced liquidation. But today''s oil futures situation is clearly skyrocketing. Even with the financial resources of the Rockefeller consortium, it cannot fight the global trend, otherwise it will also be crushed by the torrent. Therefore, it is impossible to expect that the Galaxy Fund will be sold out and then take over. The only way is for the Galaxy Fund to voluntarily transfer the oil futures contract, and he will let someone come forward to take over. For example, let the Galaxy Fund or Xia Yu''s other aspects of funds dry up and have to cash out oil futures contracts. He turned his eyes on Polaris Capital Company, Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company..., and finally David Rockefeller''s eyes fixed on the Galaxy Fund. The focus is on a paragraph of text. It is written there that Galaxy Fund''s investment in COMEX advanced copper futures and COMEX aluminum futures. Petroleum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange only started to be listed last year. Before that, it was mainly rare metal futures, coal futures and power futures. Xia Yu also knows that Galaxy Fund is also long in advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, and it can even be said that he is the initiator. After he came to the United States a few months ago, he found that Song Yang and others were relatively idle. After all, oil futures were bullish for a long time and there was no need to stare at them. Song Yang and others continued to understand the various situations of the New York Mercantile Exchange and set their sights on On other futures on the same exchange. At that time, he studied more carefully and achieved certain results. After reporting to Xia Yu, Xia Yu also learned about the New York Mercantile Exchange for a few days. Combined with the memory of later generations, he asked Song Yang and others to do more advanced copper futures and Aluminum futures. As for the gold and silver that ranked first in the rare metal futures, they were directly passed. There is no way, gold futures have been bearish all the way, and Xia Yu profited from it. How could he go more gold futures? As for shorting, don''t be joking. After the gold slump, how many futures dealers dare to bet short? As for silver, it¡¯s not much better. The famous case of silver futures operators in later generations exploded in March. The two Hunter brothers of the Texas Petroleum family have been in business for seven or eight years, and the price of silver has been sold to nearly $50 in one fell swoop. However, it plummeted to eleven U.S. dollars within a month. In order to prevent a small economic crisis, the US government had to lend out one billion U.S. dollars to the Hunter brothers to make money. In this case no financial institution dared to slam the silver futures, and the blood of the Hunter brothers has not drained yet! Therefore, Xia Yu asked Song Yang and others to speculate in the rare metal futures market, ranking third in high-level copper futures and fourth in aluminum futures. Copper and aluminum are indispensable metals for industry and are widely used in various industries. According to historical trends in memory, The high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures are bullish for a long time, and the spot prices of the two metals are also bullish all the way. The two metal contracts are good investment products. Closer to home. When David Rockefeller saw this place, the connection between Xia Yu and the Rothier family reappeared in his mind, and he thought of a strategy of counting birds with one stone. This strategy has no effect on him, regardless of success or failure, but at least it can test Xia Yu''s strength, and even test the relationship between Xia Yu and the Roshir family. Of course, if this temptation fails, then get out of the United States obediently. What qualifications do you have to blend in with American politics? Of course, before you get out of the United States, you have to obediently give away what you got in the United States. v3 Chapter 838: Be treated as a fat sheep Chapter 838 Philip Brothers, established for more than 70 years, is a well-known large-scale listed financial institution on Wall Street with a market value of more than four billion US dollars. Supporting its high stock price is its strength and position in the commodity futures trading market. Philip Brothers is the largest commodity futures dealer in the world today. It has branches in 45 countries and trades more than 160 types of commodities. It can be said that Philip Brothers stomped, and the futures industry had to shake. The reason why Philip Brothers can grow to this point is inseparable from the efforts of the two brothers Gavin Philip and Jess Philip, who have died, but the growth of Philip Brothers to this point is also inseparable from the help of the Jewish community. Yes, the Philip brothers are all Italian Jewish descent. They came to the United States at the beginning of this century to work hard. During this period, they were able to rise quickly with the help of Wall Street Jewish people. Of course, many of the shares of Philip Brothers are also distributed in the hands of various Jewish families. The largest shareholding ratio is the Philip Family Foundation, which holds 27.8% of the shares. It''s just that since the death of the Philip brothers, although many elites have appeared in the Philip family, they are not capable of running the Philip Brothers company. Therefore, after leaving the founder, Philip Brothers took the path that most American companies would take, looking for outstanding partners to lead Philip Brothers to continue to grow. After more than ten years, Philip Brothers has gradually diminished the family color, but its internal relations have become more and more complicated, and even involved in the battles of major family consortia. This can be seen from the list of shareholders of Philip Brothers. figure it out. Who made Philip Brothers the largest commodity futures trading company? This day, with a clear sky, is a good day to play golf. Albert Raphael, director, executive vice president, and general manager of the rare metals investment department of Philip Brothers, came to the New York golf course in a low-key manner. Here, he met an old man with blond curly hair in a suit and leather shoes who had asked him out, Hida Allen, director of the First National Bank of Chicago. "Albert, it''s 8:59:30, and you were almost late." Hida Allen and Albert Raphael joked, shaking hands. Albert Raphael shrugged and smiled, "Isn''t this still late? Sida, you know, I''m always on time!" "OK, this is indeed punctual, let''s go." Cedar Allen smiled indifferently, and then the two walked towards the scheduled No. 8 stadium together. After a while, the two changed into sportswear, took their clubs and went to the grassy course to play golf, and chatted together. Albert Raphael asked about the investment intentions of the First National Bank of Chicago and the specific internal situation of the bank, while Cedar Allen was emotional about the internal situation of Philip Brothers. Regarding the information that cannot be spread, the two seem to have no hesitation in talking. Of course, if you know the relationship between the two, you can understand it. Although Albert Raphael is a director of Phillip Brothers, his directorship was given by Chicago First National Bank because the Chicago First National Bank holds 5.4% of the Philip Brothers. So Albert Raphael was originally the representative of Chicago''s First National Bank, and he was obliged to let Chicago''s First National Bank know the specific situation of Philip Brothers. While chatting, Albert Raphael asked about Shida Allen''s true intentions. He didn''t believe that the latter just came from Chicago to ask him to play golf. "Sida, does the company have any orders that I need to execute?" Cedar Allen didn''t reply immediately. He focused on looking at the hole in the distance. After finding the correct position, he looked at the golf ball on the grass again, swung the club in a thunderous manner, and followed the white ball with his eyes. "Wow, the ball has been scored, Cedar, your skills have improved again." Albert Raphael exclaimed. Hida Allen smiled, picked up the towel draped on his shoulders and moistened the sweat on his face, and said to Albert Raphael: "Albert, the company needs you to clean up someone." Albert Raphael''s curiosity was hooked. The First National Bank of Chicago is the second most powerful bank among the four major financial cores of the Chicago Consortium. Isn''t the bank''s focus now on developing the commercial loan and bond markets? Why did you give him such an order suddenly? Who does this mean? The current internal chaos of the Chicago Consortium emerged in my mind, the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, the McCormick family, the Wood family and the Krone family... Thinking of this, Albert Raphael''s head instantly went up, and he shook his head slightly to clear these things that had nothing to do with him from his mind. No matter who he meant, he pretended not to know, just to execute the order. "Sida, let¡¯s talk about it. I have to see if I can help. You know, the factions in Philip Brothers are obvious, mainly Jewish. They are too smart, even though I am the vice president of the company. , But I don¡¯t count many places." Albert Raphael said helplessly, first get vaccinated. Hida Allen said with a smile: "If you can''t do it, I won''t find you either." "There is a goal to do more high-end copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and the amount of funds is not small. This is a fat sheep. It only entered the US futures market this year. As long as it operates well, it can help Phillip Brothers. Make huge profits." Albert Raphael narrowed his eyes and asked: "Which company it is, see if I know it." He is the general manager of the rare metal futures investment department of Phillips Brothers, and each metal futures is invested by a different department under him, so he can do it with the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures mentioned by Cedar Allen. of. "The Galaxy Fund, have you heard of it? It''s a Chinese branch established in New York." Hida Allen introduced. Albert Raphael frowned. At first he felt a little familiar, but he couldn''t remember after thinking about it. But he can be sure that he has definitely seen the information about the Galaxy Fund before, perhaps it was mentioned when the subordinates submitted the approval document. "I seem to have seen it somewhere, and I have to go back and learn more about it." "Of course, if you are talking about a Chinese company that just came to the United States this year, then I think it should not be too difficult. I hope this company is really a fat sheep as you said. The second silver futures have exploded. I urgently need new revenue to support my performance." Albert Raphael said helplessly. Hida Allen smiled and said: "You don''t need to investigate anymore. To save time, I have brought the most complete information, you can check it out." With that, he turned around and returned to the rest area, took out a document wrapped in kraft paper from his briefcase, and handed it to Albert Raphael. Afterwards, he entered the room and poured a cup of coffee, found a chair to sit down, and drank slowly. Albert Raphael sat next to Cedar Allen and slowly turned over the information in his hand. The more he looked, the more surprised his eyes became. The strength of this Chinese branch should not be underestimated. No wonder Heida Allen came to look for him specially. "It seems that high-level fighting is involved again." Albert Raphael thought to himself. After reading it, Albert Raphael thought about it and asked: "Xida, how much do you need me to do?" Cedar Allen put down the coffee and looked into the latter¡¯s eyes and said seriously: ¡°Albert, the company has only one requirement. With the help of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, the Galaxy Fund Absorb the funds of the company, and then harvest them in one fell swoop, exploding the Galaxy Fund''s position, the more miserable the better!" If Cedar Allen''s request can be successfully fulfilled, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to Philip Brothers. Moreover, with the huge profits, it can also add a lot of merits to him. No matter how he looks, he has no reason to refuse. Of course, Albert Raphael did not underestimate the risk, but he did not pay much attention to it. Investment has risks, but the level of risk can be affected. The key lies in strength. Albert Raphael is confident that the Galaxy Fund is not comparable to the powerful Philip Brothers. "OK, Cedar, just watch it, and I will teach them well." Albert Raphael said with a smile, his smile seemed meaningful. "Albert, look forward to your performance!" v3 Chapter 839: Dollar for loyalty After Albert Raphael returned to Philips Brothers, he called Harlan Dryden, the manager of the advanced copper futures department, and Sean Andrew, the manager of the Alcoa futures department. The three discussed in the office behind closed doors for two hours, and then Harlan Dryden and Sean Andrew left excitedly, ready to go back to summon their subordinates and make detailed hunting plans. Without Xia Yu noticing it, secretly a large hunting net was weaving at extreme speed. But at this time, Xia Yu was planning another extremely important matter in a luxury country manor in the outer suburbs of New York. This manor was screened by Xia Yu commissioned by Freddie Mac. It took a month to buy it. It cost Xia Yu 3.2 million U.S. dollars, but Xia Yu thought it was worth the money. Because this manor not only has a villa covering thousands of square meters, but also a luxurious swimming pool in the backyard, and there is also a golf course on the hillside of the back mountain. There are no other buildings within a radius of five miles. On this day, Xia Yu was dressed in casual clothes, holding a Colt M1911A1 in his hand, aiming at a human-shaped target halfway down the mountain, pulling the trigger again and again. After three rounds, Li Wuming, who was looking at him with a telescope, said in admiration: "Boss, one nine-ring and two seven-rings. Your progress is too fast. If you join the army, you will definitely become a marksman." Even Ma Qianjun, who was expressionless on the side, was very surprised, surprised by Xia Yu''s ability. Xia Yu smiled faintly, put down Colt M1911A1, and said mockingly: "A person who is afraid of death like me is not suitable for joining the army." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at his brother, especially the yellow kraft paper bag in his hand, and asked: "Brother Ma, how many have been selected?" Ma Qianjun handed the kraft paper bag to Xia Yu, and said calmly: "A total of five suitable candidates have been found, and they are all inside." Xia Yu took it, walked to the wicker chair under the shade of the tree, opened the kraft paper bag, and took out a stack of files. On the first file, there is a black-and-white photo of a middle-aged man with a beard with a Chinese face, and then his basic information. Kevin Occasie, male, born August 21, 1937 in Charlotte, North Carolina, joined the US Navy XX in March 1957... was elected to the US Special Forces in April 1962... April 1968 Served as the captain of the 4th squadron of the squadron special warfare, the rank of lieutenant colonel... In 1975, he was forced to retire due to the malicious killing of prisoners due to the war syndrome... Family situation: Divorced from his wife for six years and have a daughter, Susan Okasi... ... Ron Howard, male, born on July 24, 1935 in Austin, Texas, a former CIA agent... ... Xia Yu has read all five files carefully and patiently. Of these five candidates, Xia Yu was most impressed by Kevin Ocashi in the first file, not only because he was the leader of the SEAL team formed during the Kennedy era, but also because he had a great weakness-he Susan Okasi, a daughter with leukemia. These five people were not the ones Xia Yu asked Ma Qianjun to make targeted investigations. They were able to access this file entirely because these five people met Xia Yu''s selection requirements. The reason why Xia Yu did this was because of his lack of security. Although with his strong financial support and the outstanding leadership of Ma Qianjun, the net has been deployed in Asia and has begun to spread to the world, there are still major shortcomings. As for another armed organization, Aegis security, although Yan Shining has found an uninhabited island in Southeast Asia and is training manpower on a large scale, the influence of Aegis security is also limited to Asia, to be precise, Southeast Asia. More importantly, Aegis Security is all yellow people. Even if Aegis Security has this strength in Europe and the United States, it is too eye-catching. Xia Yu felt that his sense of security in Europe and the United States was not enough, so he planned to form another security company. At the very least, he must have the ability to protect himself and lift the table, so as to ensure the safety of his business. In the United States where guns are flooded, Xia Yu really can''t make himself feel safe enough. Looking at the file in his hand again, Xia Yu''s complexion sank and looked at his watch, and then said to Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming: "Let''s go, it''s almost time for dinner, we will leave for Charlotte after lunch." Upon hearing this, Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming immediately understood Xia Yu''s thoughts, packed their equipment, and the group walked to the villa. The next day, Charlotte General Hospital, inpatient building A2-7 floor. Xia Yu walked along the corridor with Li Wuming and Ma Qianjun carrying a fruit basket and a bunch of carnations. Fortunately, Charlotte is a livable city, and there are many Chinese here, so Xia Yu and the three yellow races walking here at most make people look at it. 718 Nursing Ward! When he got here, Xia Yu stopped. Without Xia Yu''s instructions, Li Wuming pushed open the door of the ward, and suddenly the eyes of the patients and family members in the ward were cast over. The eyes of the middle-aged white man in the hospital bed who had been chipping apples became sharp instantly, and his cold eyes swept across the faces of Xia Yu, especially when he saw Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming, his expression became very serious. He put down the apple in his hand, stood up and looked at Xia Yu quietly. Kevin Occasie, this is him! Xia Yu showed a kind smile, and led Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming to the middle hospital bed. Sitting on the bed was a lovely little girl with a shaved head, pale face and innocent and curious eyes. "Who are you?" Kevin Occasie took a step sideways calmly, blocking his daughter Susan behind him, changing the grip of the fruit knife in his hand. "This is the hospital. We are volunteers who send love to the Chinese community." "Lovely little angel, I wish you a speedy recovery!" Xia Yu put the fruit basket on the table, and at the same time put the whole bunch of carnations at the end of the bed, and said encouragingly to the little girl. "Thank you Uncle!" The little girl Susan said crisply, her eyes full of joy when she looked at the carnations. Seeing this situation, Kevin Ocashi''s complexion eased and said, "Thank you!" However, the state of vigilance still did not relax. He knew that Xia Yu and others were definitely not volunteers in the Chinese community. It''s just that he didn''t want his daughter Susan, who was already sick, to be affected again. After chatting with Susan again, Xia Yu gave Kevin Occasie a look and then left. After Xia Yu and others left the ward, Kevin Occasi quietly put down the fruit knife, picked up the carnation at the end of the bed and checked it, and then safely gave it to his eager daughter. "Susan, dad go out for a few minutes. If you are thirsty, there is warm water on the table." Kevin Occasie touched her daughter''s cheek lightly and said, eyes full of doting. "Okay Dad, I''ll wait for you to come back." "Well, Dad will be back soon." After speaking, Kevin Occasi walked out of the ward, his gaze shot around, and he saw the three of Xia Yu at the end of the corridor, and he walked quickly over. After a while, Kevin Occasi came to Xia Yu and the others, fixed his eyes on Xia Yu in the middle, and asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose for looking for me?" Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "Kevin Okasi, hello, you don''t need to be so vigilant. First introduce yourself. I am the chairman of Polaris Capital, and these two are my bodyguards." Kevin Ocashi frowned and said, "Hello, thank you for the fruits and carnations." After speaking, he looked straight at Xia Yu, obviously wanting the answer to the question just now. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Kevin, I feel sorry for your daughter''s experience. I also know that you are worrying about the cost of treatment. I can help you." Kevin Okasi was shocked. He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "There is no free lunch in the world. I want to know what I need to pay?" Kevin Okasi is indeed worrying about the cost of her daughter''s treatment. Although he has been in the army for more than ten years, his savings are not much. Especially after his divorce from his wife, his family property was divided in half. Later, his daughter Susan was diagnosed with leukemia and all his savings were spent. Don''t borrow money everywhere to treat her daughter. No way, in the United States, the cost of illness is too high. A small cold can cost thousands of dollars, let alone leukemia. With Kevin Occasie¡¯s savings, after four months of reaching the limit, he needs money, and he needs a lot of money! Xia Yu smiled faintly, and stared at Kevin Occasi: "Kevin, what I want is very simple, I only need your loyalty!" really! Kevin Ocashi secretly said in his heart. He also knows himself well. He started working in the army at the age of 20 and was forced to retire at the age of 38 due to war syndrome. After he retired, he became a truck driver. What he was able to show was a skill in the army. "Do you want me to be your bodyguard? The two around you are stronger than me. You don''t seem to need me." Although Kevin Okasi wanted to agree, he still wanted to clarify the situation. "Kevin, your position is not a bodyguard, but a more advanced profession that can show your talents. I know you were forced to retire because of war syndrome. You like that kind of life, and the identity of a truck driver comes to you. Said it is an insult!" "You don''t have to rush to ask. Just join us and you will know later. The key now is that I need your loyalty, and you need enough dollars, right?" Xia Yu said with a smile. Kevin Ocashi was silent for a long time, his head lowered slightly, and he said with a mockery: "You are right, I have asked too much. As long as you can treat my daughter with all your strength, my life is yours." "readily!" Communicating with smart people has always been very enjoyable. After Xia Yu finished talking with a smile, he took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it to Kevin Okasi. "There are half a million dollars in it, and the password is 10 8. You can choose to continue the treatment here, or you can choose to take Susan to the best hospital in New York. Someone will meet you in the afternoon and give you a week. Settle up and come to me, someone will tell you the address." After talking Xia Yu ignored Kevin Okasi, who was a little shocked, and left with Ma Qianjun and Li Wuming. Kevin Occasie watched Xia Yu and the others disappear into the elevator in the distance, before looking down at the bank card in his hand, shook his palm subconsciously, and his expression was very complicated. "Susan, my daughter..." Kevin Ocashi muttered to himself. In the next few days, Xia Yu flew to five places. A week later, Xia Yu was in his manor in the suburbs of New York. "Da da da¡­¡­" The sound of footsteps from the stairs attracted everyone in the living room. Immediately afterwards, Xia Yu''s figure gradually appeared. He saw the five people sitting scattered on the sofa in the living room, and the corners of his mouth curled up with satisfaction. () v3 Chapter 840: Blackwater International All five of them are middle-aged, three white and two black, each with a strong physique. "welcome!" Xia Yu said with a smile, his eyes swept across everyone. "Hi boss!" Everyone was very conscious, all stood up and greeted Xia Yu in unison. "Sit down, everyone, you are welcome." Xia Yu stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then sat down on the sofa. "You are here, then we will be a family in the future, especially the five of you, and will cooperate with each other in the future, so I suggest that everyone introduce themselves." "I''ll do it first, my name is Kevin Occasi, a retired Navy SEAL lieutenant colonel..." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Kevin Ocashi took the lead and got up to introduce himself. Because he introduced his military rank before retiring in a sample, the next few people followed suit. "My name is Ron Howard, a former CIA agent..." "My name is Corey Eugene, a retired captain of the US Special Forces..." "Tyron Black, a retired U.S. Army Rangers Major..." "I''m Jeffrey Allen, a retired Navy SEAL major..." Of the five, Kevin Occasi and Tyron Black are white, while the other three are black. But regardless of whites and blacks, these five people are among the elite. Except for Ron Howard, who is a former CIA agent, the lowest rank of the remaining four is captain before retiring. The SEALs, the US Special Forces, and the Army Rangers are the three most powerful teams in the United States, and the largest number of troops is only more than 2,000. Being able to climb to the middle and high level among the elites gathered is enough to show their ability. If it were not for various reasons, they would not retire. But Xia Yu was eager to do this, otherwise it would not be his turn to collect these people under his command. After everyone had introduced themselves, Xia Yu smiled and applauded and exclaimed: "Very well, everyone is the elite of the elite." "I think you are very curious about why I am looking for you. It can be said that it is very simple and difficult. I need your loyalty. I need you to defend me and my wealth." This week, Kevin Occasie¡¯s daughter Susan has been transferred to the best hospital in New York and is undergoing full treatment. This gives him hope. Therefore, I am most grateful to Xia Yu, and I have made up my mind for Xia Yu. Desperately. Therefore, after Xia Yu finished speaking, he immediately took the lead and shouted: "Boss, no matter what your orders are, I will do my best." Several other people have their own weaknesses and needs. It happened that Xia Yu was able to help them. Now that he came here and directly called Xia Yu boss, his attitude was already obvious, so he expressed his opinions one after another. "Very well, you do things for me, and I will do my best to give you what you need." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, then his face became stern, and the conversation turned coldly: "But!" "If anyone betrays me, even if he goes to Amazon and hides him, I will be wanted worldwide until I see his body! I hate traitors the most!" It seems that in order to cooperate with Xia Yu, Li Wuming and Ma Qianjun, who have been sitting around him silently, swept across everyone''s faces with murderous aura, especially Ma Qianjun''s cold eyes, let the few people present know that this person is not. Good stubble. Of course, it was not Ma Qianjun that made them the most awe-inspiring, but Xia Yu, who seemed the least threatening. They all know that this is the world of capital. As long as capitalists are willing to pay a sufficient price, it is useless for them to hide anywhere. Some people will kill them for money. Just like them, didn''t they come to Xia Yu''s command for money or forced by money? Of course, they also know that with Xia Yu, it is also a bright road. There are not a few elites like them, but not everyone can live without worry after retiring. Many of their comrades later became poor, even With all his abilities, he embarked on the road of illegal crimes, and finally stayed in prison for a lifetime. "Okay, everyone relax. Just remember what I just said. I have always been cold to the enemy, but I have always been very kind to my own people." "Before talking about business, I will give you a reminder that your previous identities only represent the past. From now on, I will forget all of them. You will start a new life." Xia Yu returned to his kind face again, and after a brief summary, he began to talk about business. "I registered a company called Blackwater International, headquartered in California. This company is positioned as a private military and security consulting company. This company is still a shell. The five of you will be the veterans of the company. " "Kevin Okasi served as the first general manager, and the other four were deputy general managers. You decide on personnel, facilities, etc. You don¡¯t need to consider money matters. I only have one requirement, that is the fastest Form combat effectiveness!" "Of course you have to keep in mind that Blackwater International is my company and must pass through my orders 100%. I don''t want it to be penetrated one day!" "Understand?" In the last sentence, Xia Yu suddenly raised the volume. Everyone responded in unison: "Understand!" "Kevin, you are responsible for taking the lead, and give me a complete construction plan as quickly as possible." "Okay, boss!" ... At noon, Xia Yu left everyone at home for lunch, and also specially opened champagne, in order to celebrate the birth of Blackwater International, but also to narrow the distance with everyone. After lunch, Kevin Okasi and the other five left together and tried their own way to break in. "Boss, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Hearing this, Xia Yu looked at Ma Qianjun, who was indifferent on the right, nodded slightly and said, "Go, pay attention to safety. The United States is no better than Southeast Asia. I don''t want Cici to be sad." When it came to his sister, Ma Qianjun''s expression changed slightly, and finally he no longer had facial paralysis. He nodded to Xia Yu and said, "I know, then I''m leaving." After that, he put on his helmet, rode on a motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle slammed out. Watching Ma Qianjun''s shadow gradually disappeared, Xia Yu returned to the house. ... Time gradually passed, and all the satellites of Jiuding News Agency were finally launched. Three synchronous communication satellites formed a communication network with enough signals to cover the whole world. This made Jiuding News Agency¡¯s news transmission efficiency more than doubled, and it gradually became more and more adaptable. .novelhall.com~The efficiency will get faster and faster. After learning about it, Ted Turner was overjoyed and secretly rejoiced to cooperate with Xia Yu. Then, with the help of the resources of Jiuding News Agency, the quality of the 24-hour news of CNN''s TV News Network has been greatly improved. In addition, three satellites used by Xia Yu for internal communications of the Jiuding Consortium are also being manufactured, and it is believed that they will be launched soon. Monday, Galaxy Fund New York branch, meeting room. Song Yang and others are gathering together to summarize the investment situation last week. Needless to say, the results of oil futures have been rising steadily, and there is still a certain distance from the clearance line set by the boss Xia Yu, not to mention them. worry. Therefore, they pay more attention to their own advanced copper futures and aluminum futures. "Last week, advanced copper futures rose by 1.75 cents, an increase of 175% year-on-year. We currently hold a total of 8,000 lots. Last week, the floating profit increased by 3.5 million US dollars." () v3 Chapter 841: Capital game Chapter 841 "Aluminum futures rose by 1.9 cents last week, with a floating profit of 475 yuan in one lot. We hold 6,500 lots and a floating profit of 3.087500 US dollars last week... In the US futures market, one lot of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures is 25,000 pounds, and the quotation rule is cents per pound, the smallest unit of change is 0.05 cents per pound, and the daily limit is 20 cents. /lb. One dollar can be exchanged for one hundred cents. It seems that the suspension amount is small at 20 cents/lb, but looking at the opening of the New York Mercantile Exchange this morning, the price of advanced copper futures is $0.5890/lb, and aluminum futures is $1.2125/lb. If the daily limit can be reached, advanced copper futures can double in three days, and aluminum futures can double their prices in about six days. Think about the futures market price as a guide to the spot price. If the futures price rises sharply, it will promote the spot premium. If the price does not drop for a long time, the impact will be fermented. At that time, the spot price will rise, and the major needs of copper and metal The aluminum factory is heartache. Therefore, under normal circumstances, for large-scale industrial metals such as metallic copper and metallic aluminum, it is difficult to touch the suspension limit. After everyone present saw the investment situation last week, Song Yang said to everyone: "Everyone has seen the situation, what do you think?" Xue He took the lead in saying: "Based on the broader market over the past two months, the high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures rose rapidly last week, and the trading frequency increased by more than 20%. The reasons for the increase have been analyzed. There is news from companies in the industry that copper production in the second quarter fell by 4.5%, and Peru Copper''s copper production in the second quarter fell by 5.2%. According to media estimates, global copper metal supply will shrink and copper prices will increase. rise." "Metal aluminum is similar." "Our news is much late, so now there is more capital speculation in advanced copper futures and aluminum futures." "Currently we hold $117.8 million worth of advanced copper futures and $197.03 million worth of aluminum futures." "The boss once told us that in the next year, high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures will be on the rise. After months of verification, the boss''s guidance has been fulfilled. I personally suggest that you don¡¯t need to hesitate anymore and you can let go of large investments. Advanced copper futures and aluminum futures." After Xue He finished speaking, Ma Kai also stood up and echoed: "I agree with Xue He''s analysis. Since we first entered the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, our total floating profit has exceeded 25 million US dollars. Several months have passed since gold futures and silver futures plummeted. Capital has slowed down, but has been waiting and watching. Now that the price of copper and aluminum is rising soon, it is intuitive that capital will enter again. In the field of rare metal futures, Advanced copper futures and aluminum futures are the most suitable incubators." Immediately afterwards, Wang Gang, Li De and others, as well as several elites recruited by the Galaxy Fund after taking root in New York, also expressed their views. Although some people have different opinions, the minority obeys the majority. In the end, they discussed and decided to let go and follow up on a large scale. It''s no wonder that they are really too powerful. They not only started speculating on futures, but also used their contacts to greet mining companies, and they let the media spread the news, just like the truth. With mental arithmetic and unintentional, it is impossible to prevent it. Song Yang, Xue He and others are unavoidable. ... After the meeting, Song Yang called Xia Yu for instructions. After Xia Yu got to know it, he didn''t care too much, and directly approved Song Yang and others'' plan. After getting the approval, Song Yang and the others were all eagerly eager to fight, and then a large amount of money poured into the New York Mercantile Exchange. Song Yang and others frequently open positions and trade, all of which fall into the eyes of interested people. Philip Brothers Rare Metals Investment Division. General manager Albert Raphael walked around on the trading bench and received reports from Harlan Dryden and Sean Andrew. After listening, the corners of his mouth rose. "Very well, the big fish is hooked!" Hearing that, senior copper futures department manager Harlan Dryden and aluminum futures department manager Sean Andrew laughed at the same time. "Yes, boss, it seems that the Galaxy Fund has made up its mind, faster than we expected, it seems that they are not slow to respond!" "Then shall we implement the next step in advance?" Albert Raphael shook his head and said: "No, we need more patience. In the next few days, we will continue to raise prices, leaving us more short space, while continuing to deliver part of it." "Of course, there are too many smart people on Wall Street, and our plan is not complicated, so we must implement it as soon as possible, otherwise we will be the one who is unlucky." "If the plan is successfully implemented, the empty order will be officially placed on Thursday." "Good boss~" "Then give them some more feed to make them fatter, hehe." After speaking, Harlan Dryden and Sean Andrew immediately went down to arrange them. In the next few days, the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange continued to rise. Not only that, but the related supporting measures have not fallen. Not only Song Yang and others believe it, but also other capital and retail investors also believe it. A large amount of money poured into high-end copper and aluminum futures, which further pushed up prices. Song Yang and the others are not insignificant, since they made up their minds, they doubled the total investment in just three days. And the floating profit of nearly ten million U.S. dollars was made just after the investment, which confirmed their analysis. As soon as Thursday arrived, Albert Raphael gave an order and began to use the Philip Brothers¡¯ small vest to put out a short order to sell the contract. At first, the speed was very slow and very cautious, and the empty order was the same. Planting more than ten or twenty hands, once thrown into the hot market, it was overwhelmed without a bubble. Immediately after that, the empty orders gradually increased, and they were all eaten by the surging longs. Unconsciously, the Galaxy Fund has become the majority of the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures markets. At first, Song Yang, Xue He and others didn''t feel wrong. After all, the futures market is different from the stock market. Shorting the futures market is too common, and it is much simpler than shorting the stock market. In the stock market, if you want to go short, you must first borrow stocks from the gambling, then sell the stocks, and finally buy them back at a low price and return them to the gambling party. Looking at it this way, the stock market is a gambling table, and the two parties in the gambling are very clear. However, the futures market is different. The entire futures market is a huge gaming table, allowing gamblers to buy big and buy small. There is no clear opponent at the beginning, or the opponents are too wide. The bulls believe that the price of the futures contract will rise, so they have been opening positions to buy contracts. On the other hand, a short position believes that the price of the futures contract will fall and sells the contract held. And what is different from the stock market is that short positions can be ¡°made out of nothing¡± to sell short. What is "being out of nothing"? That is, I don''t have a futures contract, but I want to make short selling, what should I do? Then "borrow" from the exchange, sell the futures contract after "borrowing", and then wait until the price drops before buying it back to the exchange. Although I borrowed the futures contracts of the exchange, what I actually made was not the money of the exchange, but the long money. The exchange was just like a platform. But what if going short or long fails? At this time, the margin placed on the exchange will be consumed, and the amount of margin is different. For example, for a certain type of an exchange, when the contract position of a single month is less than 200,000 lots (total long and short), the margin is 5%, and from 200,000 to 300,000 lots, the margin ratio is 8%, 30 From 10,000 lots to 400,000 lots, the margin ratio is 10%. From 400,000 to 500,000 lots, the margin ratio is From 10,000 to 600,000 lots, the margin ratio is 20%... . And so on. In theory, as long as the margin is sufficient, positions can be opened indefinitely. In the final analysis, the futures market is a purer capital game than the stock market, and it values ??the hard power of shorts and longs. A seesaw depends on whose weight is heavier! Of course, in addition to the efforts of people on both sides of the seesaw to gain weight, there are also uncontrollable external factors that will affect it. In the futures market, strength and luck are both important! It was Monday again in a blink of an eye. Just seven days later, it was also Monday. But the mood of Song Yang and others was not as relaxed as last week. Therefore, the situation of the high-end copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange seems a bit bad for them. v3 Chapter 842: Then fight one fight "Let''s take a look, this is the trading data of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures we collected on the New York Futures Exchange last week." "In just one week, the total number of positions increased by 73.7%! And the number of short positions increased by 37.2%!" After Song Yang said this data, the faces of the people present changed because they understood the meaning behind this number. What is the total number of positions? It is the total number of long positions and short positions. In the futures market, as long as the margin is sufficient, positions can be opened indefinitely, and positions can be adjusted at any time. As for whether you want to close a position, it depends on everyone''s ideas. Last week, the total number of positions increased by 73.7%, but the total number of short positions rose by 37.2%. Assuming that the short and long positions are the same at the beginning, this means that the long positions last week The total number of positions has increased by 36.5%, which is 0.7% less than the short position! The balance has started to tilt! The rising ceiling of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures seems to be just around the corner! Even if the strength of longs is not as strong as shorts, in case of external factors, it is easy to cause futures prices to collapse, and Galaxy Funds build positions at high positions. The greater the decline in futures, the greater the loss! However, it is too late for the Galaxy Fund to withdraw. As one of the major players in advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, as long as the Galaxy Fund retreats and there is no other capital to take over, the market will easily become imbalanced, and the capital of the Galaxy Fund will simply escape. If you don''t come out, you will definitely become a multi-headed pig teammate. One ignorance made the Galaxy Fund in a dilemma! A total of more than 600 million U.S. dollars worth of futures contracts can not be obtained simply by thinking! "Do you know the main bearers? Are there giants like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch?" Xue He asked solemnly. "Some have been found out, but it can also be said that they have not been found out. These are all new accounts. I don''t know which company is behind them! There is no account of these giants!" "I suspect we got into a trap!" Song Yang sighed, shaking his head. Xue He, Tang Yong and others were silent for a while, and contemplated them with eyebrows. The prices of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures have indeed been active in the past two months, and there is a suspicion that they have been in the dark. However, Xue He has some doubts about Song Yang¡¯s analysis. He said aloud: ¡°There is a possibility of a trap, but whether it is a trap against us is still unclear. After all, we only decided to increase investment last Monday. How can people be sure that we will increase investment?" As soon as these words came out, the venue was silent again, and Song Yang frowned. For a long time, Song Yang stretched his eyebrows and said: "There is insufficient information, and we are not sure. At present, there are three situations. One is that the enemy knows that we are investing in high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures, so he puts his pockets in his pocket with a try and waits for us to jump Go in, and we are right in the enemy''s arms; second, this pocket is not for us, but we happened to get in; third, our investment stimulated the market, making other capital enter the market and start to do things." At this moment, Ma Kai, who has been silent, said quietly: "I think we are on the horns. Now there is not enough information. Instead of wasting time here guessing, it is better to discuss what to do?" "It''s the business to decide what to do next. You can investigate after the information meeting." The others woke up immediately, and then began to discuss countermeasures. "At present, the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures contracts we hold are worth more than 600 million US dollars. It can be said that there is a dilemma. If we can exit smoothly at this time, we can make at least 30 million US dollars. However, according to the current situation, needless to say. Knowing that it is difficult to leave the game smoothly." "Even if we try our best, the best case is to guarantee a complete retreat, but there is no need to think about the previous floating profit." "On the contrary, if we continue to raise, we will have a full harvest if we win, and we will get huge returns. If we lose, we will suffer heavy losses, and the losses will be even more serious than now!" "A few months ago, we watched the Hunter family fail in silver futures and lost more than one billion U.S. dollars. In the end, it was the US government that gave the Hunter brothers a billion-dollar loan to prevent them from going bankrupt." "Although high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures do not have to be listed on silver futures, the two together, the market is much larger than silver futures!" "At present, the cloud of gold futures and silver futures has not cleared, and capital dare not get involved easily. If the high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures fluctuate sharply, it will definitely cause a large number of hot money that had stopped to enter the market. The risk is too great!" Song Yang''s series of words made everyone look solemn. As Song Yang said, all of them witnessed the crash of silver futures. Fortunately, they did not participate in it. But not participating, does not mean that they did not understand, it can even be said that they understand very thoroughly, everyone is very clear. Oil futures were speculated by their boss Xia Yu. They are still a little confused. They only know how to execute the order, but they don''t actually know the US futures market. But in order to better fulfill the boss''s task and the delivery of oil futures in the future, they are all trying to understand the US futures market, and the most recent major case is the manipulation of silver futures. Therefore, the silver futures manipulation case has become an important reference for everyone to understand the US futures market. "We have limited information, and we are not sure if this matter will involve other things or will affect the boss, so I suggest reporting it to the boss!" "That''s right, the Hunter brothers have been sued by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, imposing a fine of more than three million U.S. dollars and a lifetime ban on trading. If we act indiscriminately, it will be troublesome if it affects the boss. " "Second, report it to the boss! Let the boss decide!" ... Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally decided unanimously to hand over this out-of-control trouble that seemed to be caused by them to the boss Xia Yu. In the afternoon, Xia Yu came to the New York branch of Galaxy Fund. Song Yang and others all greeted Xia Yu in the hall, and when they saw Xia Yu''s figure, Song Yang and others were ashamed. "Boss, sorry to trouble you..." Song Yang just said part of it embarrassingly, and was interrupted by Xia Yu Yang''s hand: "Needless to say, the capital market is tricky, there are too many hunters, no one can predict the market trend, let me know the situation first!" Song Yang and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Xia Yu say this, then cheered up and led Xia Yu upstairs. When I was a child, in the president''s office. Xia Yu sat above, with two stacks of materials on the table, while Song Yang and the others found a place to sit down, each did not dare to say anything, and looked at Xia Yu eagerly. For a long time, Xia Yu smiled slightly, closed the information inexplicably, his eyes swept over everyone''s faces, and said with a slight smile: "I understand the situation. Someone is sitting on the ground, limited by information, the enemy is unknown, and it is not yet sure whether the target is us or the bulls." "It''s not too late for you to discover the land. If I were to sit in the village instead, I wouldn''t let you find out so quickly!" "Since the enemy wants to fight with us, then come on. Retreat is not my style. The biggest fist in this world is the boss. It''s time to become famous, lest any cat or dog dare to jump out and show their presence!" "During this time, I will be at the company you let go and fight with them!" With huge amounts of funds in hand, Xia Yu''s confidence is so full. Not to mention that last month, the sixth European Cup was held in Italy. Xia Yu was in a shameful mentality of wasting opportunities, but he smashed the wool once and made a full 1.7 billion US dollars, spending his time on a large scale. The liquidity pool is filled up again. At this time, even if the opponent was the Morgan Consortium, Xia Yu was confident that he would fight a short-term financial war. Not to mention that the battlefield is limited to the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures markets. Since you dare to calculate him, you must be prepared to be eaten up! Such domineering words of Xia Yu made Song Yang and the others excited, and they were equally confident. God-like bosses personally lead them, and they can definitely achieve a hearty victory as before! () v3 Chapter 843: The hunt has just begun Xia Yu has always been very decisive in doing things. Although the Galaxy Fund is speculating on the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures of the New York Mercantile Exchange, it will not ignore the seemingly un-entered U.S. largest Chicago exchange. The prices of futures are linked to each other. Sometimes the prices of futures in a region will trigger global price fluctuations of such commodities, not to mention those in the same country. The blow of the capital market ignores space and distance! Therefore, Xia Yu immediately ordered Xue He to take some people to Chicago, station in the Chicago Board of Exchange, and accept his remote command. In addition, Xia Yu secretly called George Berkeley, who was far away in London, to let him secretly follow the London Metal Exchange and be ready to do it at any time. As for Xiangjiang, Wang Qi also received a call from Xia Yu and got an order to go to Tokyo and enter the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. It is worth mentioning that Xia Yu is also aware of the fate of the Hunter brothers, and he is not a pure American, and he needs to defend himself. So although he decided to let the Galaxy Fund take the lead, he did not intend to let the Galaxy Fund carry all the pressure. The Hunter brothers were too smug. They manipulated more than 65 percent of silver futures before they were warned by the exchange one after another, and even sued by the exchange after failure. Facts have proved that arrogance also knows how to score. Therefore, Xia Yu also activated a large number of offshore registered capital investment companies and opened futures trading accounts in the names of these companies. Philip Brothers, the rare metals futures trading division. Albert Raphael came to the front-line operations department of advanced copper futures, and Harlan Dryden, manager of the advanced copper futures department, followed him. Seeing that although the price of high-grade copper futures fluctuated violently in three days, it did not rise, but fell by 0.35 cents, and his brows frowned. Did the Galaxy Fund shrink? How long has it been since the Galaxy Fund has not eaten much bait. If you shrink now, how can you complete the tasks assigned by the company? How to make a fortune? "Harlan, what is going on? Has the Galaxy Fund flinched?" Albert Raphael asked in a deep voice. Harlan Dryden looked calm, shook his head and said: "According to the exact information sent back from the exchange, the Galaxy Fund''s futures account is still increasing positions, and has not retreated, but the increase in positions is much weaker than last week! " "Could it be that the Galaxy Fund is insufficient? Or is it mobilizing funds?" Albert Raphael immediately shook his head and said: "It can''t be a lack of strength!" Being able to be targeted by the First National Bank of Chicago, and even involved in the consortium struggle behind it, it is necessary for Cedar Allen to task him specifically, then the strength of the Galaxy Fund can never be such a little bit! "It should be mobilizing funds. Our efforts must be controlled, and we must maintain a balance as much as possible so that the Galaxy Fund can continue to invest funds." Albert Raphael thought for a while and ordered Harlan Dryden. Next, Harlan Dryden immediately led the execution, and Albert Raphael went to the aluminum futures department next door and issued the same order. After the order was issued, the growth rate of short positions in advanced copper futures and aluminum futures dropped by a notch. The distance between the shorts and the longs seemed to be gradually pulling apart again. This situation caused the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures to fluctuate sharply and began to rise, and many wait-and-see investors and hot money began to stir again. There are two flowers and one branch each. For the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu walked around the operation room calmly, listening to the reports of Song Yang and others. "Boss, all five hundred accounts have been activated." "Boss, Xue He is calling, and the Chicago Board of Trade Branch is in place." "boss¡­¡­" ... After everyone finished the report, Xia Yu''s face was slightly nodded, his eyes fixed on the trading board, and he ordered: "Very well, since everything is ready, let''s start!" "A group of 1-10 accounts, each account opens 10 lots of advanced copper futures, and the position is 0.1 cents higher than the current price!" "The second set of 250-260 accounts, each account opens 10 lots of aluminum futures, and the position is 0.15 cents higher than the current price!" Following Xia Yu''s order, the trader of the Galaxy Fund immediately began to operate in an orderly manner. At the beginning, Xia Yu didn''t intend to use too much force so as not to scare the unknown enemy away. The secret enemy treats him as prey, so he doesn''t want to hunt him! In the capital market, the status of hunters and prey is never absolute. After all, the capital market is so treacherous, and no one can predict what will happen next moment. Unless it is a capital giant with extremely strong capital, it will have super confidence in itself and use powerful capital to forcefully dominate the direction of the market. In this war that has started, there is no doubt that Xia Yu has confidence in himself! He wants to fight back! The Galaxy Fund currently holds more than 17,000 high-grade copper futures and more than 13,500 aluminum futures, with a total value of over US$600 million. Now it is the first time to increase the price to open 100 lots. At the current price, the order volume of nearly 5 million US dollars is not small! The high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures each had 100 lots of multiple orders, and the market stagnated for a moment, but immediately the market reacted easily and began to pay close attention to analyze the reasons. Of course, futures giants like Philip Brothers are not afraid. Albert Raphael and others do not know who placed the multiple orders, but it is definitely good news for them. Without hesitation, Harlan Dryden and Sean Andrew immediately ordered their traders to sell their short orders. At this moment, Xia Yu and Albert Rafael seemed to have a tacit understanding. One side placed a long position, and the other immediately opened a short position at a low position. In addition, the volume of positions is gradually increasing, and the steps are getting bigger and bigger. The prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures have also become more volatile, and gun smoke has gradually spread, attracting more and more capital''s attention. At this point, if you don''t see it anymore, you don''t need to do futures. Many people know that there are already people fighting in the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures markets. Of course, there is no shortage of gamblers who are very gamblers or self-esteem with capital to join them, either standing long or short. The futures market has always been more gambling and riskier than the stock market. Many financial practitioners have scorned the futures market, but many people still regard it as a holy land. The futures market is a playground for gamblers! "Continue to build positions, 200 lots of high-grade copper futures, 150 lots of aluminum futures, and positions increased by 0.1 cent!" "Position increased by 0.05 cents50 lots of advanced copper futures!" "Position increased by 0.15 cents, 80 lots of aluminum futures!" ... In the Wall Street branch of Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu watched the market changes of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures with full attention. A string of data entered his mind. He had a calm look and a high-speed brain, and he gave orders in an orderly manner based on the actual situation. When it seemed that the short offensive was about to rise, Xia Yu immediately ordered a large number of long orders to be put down to fight the short offensive. When the short offensive has not kept up and there seems to be some weakness, Xia Yu will wait a little bit, slow down the offensive, and reduce the volume of warehouse orders. All in all, Xia Yu''s goal is to let the shorts follow up as much as possible and fish out the shorts little by little. It''s just beginning now, and the meat is not fat enough. The gun has been loaded, as an old hot top hunter, he has enough patience! v3 Chapter 844: The end of the war As time goes by, the movement in the New York Mercantile Exchange is getting bigger and bigger. With the continuous betting of longs and shorts, the chips on the gambling table are like a golden mountain. Many institutions are tempted and raise their bets one after another, while ordinary investors become the crowd. Outside the United States, George Berkeley and Wang Qi also took their place one after another. Funds poured into the futures market and quietly exchanged for one-handed copper futures and aluminum futures contracts. The more you buy in the early stage, as long as you win later, the greater the profit you will get from arbitrage! Two weeks later. All accounts of Galaxy Fund have held 58,150 lots of advanced copper futures and 39,200 lots of aluminum futures, worth more than 2 billion US dollars! What is exposed on the surface is only about one-third of the US$700 million worth of futures contracts held by Galaxy Fund. But even though only one-third is exposed, the Galaxy Fund is still one of the most eye-catching ones in the market! Many financial institutions on Wall Street are very surprised. When will a powerful financial company suddenly appear on Wall Street! Because Xia Yu secretly invested too much capital, even if the shorts were hedging, the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures still rose a lot. The latest opening price this morning, advanced copper futures is 0.6025 US dollars / pound, and aluminum futures are USD 1.2125/lb. "Boss, the news from Julian Robertson has confirmed that the company behind those accounts is Phillip Brothers!" In the New York branch of Galaxy Fund, Xia Yugang directed the trader to continue to build positions. At this moment, Song Yang walked in with a solemn expression and whispered in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu was not frightened, instead the corners of his mouth slightly cocked, his expression a little loose. Obviously, I am not afraid of the futures giant Philip Brothers. Of course he knew about Philip Brothers, and he had memories of past lives. He knew the future of Philip Brothers very well. Not to mention that Philip Brothers is now the largest futures company in the United States, but it is only that, ranking first in the futures market. In other financial fields, Philip Brothers is far behind. In terms of overall strength, Philip Brothers is far behind Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Citibank and other companies. Then what else does he worry about? Such a stepping stone is suitable for Xia Yu to step on no matter how it looks. Compared with Xia Yu''s strength, it is not too big or not too small! "The news has been spread, and the next battle will escalate!" Xia Yu said with a light smile, then looked at Song Yang and asked: "What did Xue He say, what''s the situation with the Chicago Stock Exchange?" Before coming, Song Yang had already talked to Xue He on the phone and was already aware of the situation. At this time, Limahui reported: "Boss, under the influence of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the prices of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures on the Chicago Board of Trade have both increased. Now, the latest advanced copper futures price is 0.5995 US dollars/lb, and the aluminum futures price is 1.2430 US dollars/lb." Although it is the same kind of futures, the price is different in different futures exchanges. Because of this difference, cross-market arbitrage trading has appeared. It¡¯s just that cross-market arbitrage is more risky, and it¡¯s better in the same country. If the difference is excessive, the risk is greater. For example, the stability of the price should be considered, such as tax rate, exchange rate, trade quota, ocean shipping cost, production technology level, etc. Changes in factors will have a great impact on prices. In addition, there are market risks, credit risks, time exposure risks, and policy risks. Because of various risks, generally few institutions will trade across the market, and more often rely on the price comparison of the same commodity in other futures markets. This kind of out-of-hours factor is also a very important factor affecting futures prices. Of course, there is no absolute thing. If the spread of the same commodity on different futures exchanges is too large and they do not get close for a long time, it will definitely attract a large number of financial institutions to take risks to chase profits. anyway. Hearing Song Yang''s report, Xia Yu quickly calculated in his mind, and concluded that the price of advanced copper futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange was as high as $0.003 per pound, and the price of aluminum futures was as high as $0.0025 per pound. According to the number of futures currently held by the Galaxy Fund, this spread also contains nearly seven million US dollars in spreads. Considering the overall market of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, there is at least a few hundred million US dollars in spreads. The price difference is a bit big! Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately told Song Yang: "Call Xue He and order him not to stop. How can the 300 million dollars be enough? Within three days, the value of his futures will exceed 800 million dollars. Give me a plus to buy!" "Yes!" Song Yang''s body was shocked, and his voice in response raised subconsciously. Then, seeing Xia Yu wave his hand, Song Yang walked away quickly. And Xia Yu continued to order the trader to build positions. The initial preparation is almost complete, it''s time to let go of your hands and feet to fight! "Five hundred lots of advanced copper futures, opening a position with a high of 0.1 cent!" "Aluminum futures 500 lots, 0.1 cents higher to build a position!" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, the purchase order with a total price of more than 20 million US dollars was immediately listed, and the market immediately fluctuated sharply. Immediately after the start of the Galaxy Fund, the rare metals futures department of Philip Brothers discovered the situation. Harlan Dryden didn''t froze, and directly ordered the short position. In less than five minutes, more than 30 million US dollars of funds in the advanced copper futures department flowed into the market, stabilizing the price that is about to climb. Of course, because the leverage is ten times, the margin is only three million dollars. In the aluminum futures department next door, Sean Andrew gave the same order, and more than $25 million in funds flowed into the market. At this time, Albert Raphael stepped in hastily and immediately asked: "Harlan, have the bulls stepped up their offensive?" "Yes, the bulls seem to be unable to wait. In five minutes, I have ordered someone to sell two thousand lots, otherwise the price would really be too much!" Harlan Dryden replied solemnly. Albert Raphael narrowed his eyes, thinking for a moment and said: "Although the Galaxy Fund''s open position is only worth about 700 million US dollars, based on the calculation of the position, they absolutely invested more than 1 billion US dollars, and they are really strong! " "Since they don''t want to wait anymore, let''s do it too. The Galaxy Fund has invested such a large amount of money, so I don''t want to back down. This is just right!" "Harlan, implement the second phase plan!" Harlan Dryden refreshed and smiled excitedly. It has been a month since the beginning, and he can''t wait! Increase! Significant increase! ! ! Whether Philip Brothers or Galaxy Fund, they all began to invest on a large scale, and the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange fluctuated violently. From time to time, hundreds or thousands of lots of a single volume made the people who eat melons exclaim. At the same time, Philip Brothers took the initiative to release bad news about advanced copper futures and aluminum futures and it is a research report that has already been prepared. Futures giant Philip Brothers turned out to be a big short! The news made the other bears excited, secretly sighing that they were on the right team and raised one after another. The bulls are very solemn, and there are no shortage of people who flinch from lack of information. The reputation of Philip Brothers in the futures market is being stamped out step by step by stepping on the bodies of losers. Many small financial institutions have attacked them, and it is normal to choose to back down. And I don¡¯t know when or where the news came from. Various bad news went viral on the New York Mercantile Exchange and circulated on Wall Street at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, the balance tilted toward the bears at an extreme speed, and the situation was very unfavorable for the bulls. Faced with such a situation, Xia Yu said nothing, with a big wave, chose to increase the position and stabilize the market confidence! () v3 Chapter 845: The smoke bomb is coming Break the law with one effort! No matter what you can do, I can break it with my strong financial resources! "Boss, I''m so empty. It''s just that although there are many empty orders, they are scattered. It should be other hot money entering the market!" Song Yang immediately reported to Xia Yu after collecting reports from various groups in the operation room of the Galaxy Fund. Philip Brothers'' approach has worked! But Xia Yu didn''t have any waves in his heart, his face was cold, and he gave orders righteously. "Don''t panic, 0.2 cents, 2,000 hands each! Give me the rhythm!" The trader was silent at first and opened a position tacitly. It will not report the completion of execution until the position is completed. "0.15 cents, 1,000 lots of advanced copper futures!" "0.2 cents, one thousand lots of aluminum futures!" ... Although the chaotic short orders rushed into the market at the beginning, causing the futures prices to fluctuate sharply, Xia Yu placed orders at the right time again and again, and even eliminated them, interrupting the momentum of the short position, and hanging up the gap when the short position was weak. Single pull up prices. In this way, the control of rhythm gradually transferred to the hands of Galaxy Fund. With the rhythm in hand, it''s cool to have a tailwind. As a result, the pressure on the traders of the Galaxy Fund has dropped sharply, and the expressions of Song Yang and other executives have also become relaxed, their eyes full of admiration when they look at Xia Yu. The boss is worthy of being the boss, just like a wise commander in command, simply arranging troops, he played the momentum and took the initiative. The Galaxy Fund has beaten out the rhythm, and by the way, the pressure on all the bulls has also dropped sharply. Many institutions have reacted to their strong bosses. Upon inquiring, they found that it turned out to be the account of the Galaxy Fund. Many institutions could not help but surprise. Then confidence began to increase. Can''t tell, this newly emerging Galaxy Fund is not only financially strong, but also its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated! The bulls feel better, but the empty hands are uncomfortable. Most of the short-term pressure is on Philip Brothers. Fortunately, Albert Raphael and others are all seasoned veterans. Although they have been temporarily disrupted, they are also fighting for the initiative and trying to regain their advantages. The Galaxy Foundation relies on large orders to combat bulls, and they can do the same! One morning, the trading volume of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures soared, ten times higher than yesterday! Hundreds of thousands of short and long orders are smashed out from time to time, causing the prices of the two futures to fluctuate. Each fluctuation represents a fluctuation of millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars. The crowds are shocked to see. , Was hooked. Fights of this scale are rare to encounter several times a year, so you should never miss it! Until the morning break, the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Stock Exchange stopped at US$0.6045/lb and US$1.2480/lb, respectively. Generally speaking, the bulls have the advantage. But Xia Yu didn''t take it lightly. He knew it was just the beginning. The negative effects of Philip Brothers are beginning to ferment. Noon is enough time for many organizations to calm down, and Philip Brothers will also take a break. After the market opens in the afternoon, the battle will definitely be fierce. At noon, everyone in the Galaxy Fund did not go home. Xia Yu ordered a luxurious meal and delivered it to the company. After having lunch, everyone gathered in the conference room for a meeting to make the latest combat plan. In the Galaxy Fund meeting room, Xia Yu was at the top, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces and nodded in satisfaction. It can be seen that everyone is full of energy and fighting spirit. This state is very good. "Everyone is in great shape!" "Thanks for everyone in the morning, but the battle has just begun, and there is still to be fought later. I hope everyone can maintain this mental state. After victory, everyone has a big red envelope!" As soon as Xia Yu spoke, the atmosphere in the meeting room was suddenly warm. "thank you boss!" "We will not let you down!" "..." Xia Yu smiled and looked at the yelling subordinates. It was not until half a minute later that the voice gradually became smaller, and Xia Yu raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down. In just a second, the meeting room immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu said slowly: "Now let''s report the latest situation." "Song Yang!" After Xia Yu''s call, Song Yang immediately got up, picked up the aggregated data from the various groups, and said loudly: "Until the morning break, we held a total of 69,400 lots of high-grade copper futures, at a current price of ten. Forty-nine million dollars." "In one morning, 11,400 lots of advanced copper futures were added, and 172 million US dollars were invested." "Hold 47,800 lots of aluminum futures, the current price is 1,488 million U.S. dollars, which is an increase of 8,800 lots from the opening of the morning, and invested 274 million U.S. dollars!" As soon as these data were read, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone sitting. More than 400 million US dollars were smashed in one morning. Not many companies on Wall Street can do it! Philip Brothers wants to fight them, but it''s far from it! "Everyone has listened to the data. It looks like a lot, but don¡¯t take it lightly. Now the bull side is mainly supported by us. This is the United States. After all, Philip Brothers has been rooted here for 60 or 70 years. There are many invisible resources. If I expect it to be good, it will be on display in the next few days, and there will be many situations that you did not expect. You must be vigilant." Xia Yu calmly summed up. "Yes!" The people who were still happy were awe-inspiring, and they put away their smiles and set their minds back. "Next I will set the task..." ... The time flies is the afternoon. In the anticipation of all, the New York Mercantile Exchange reopened. As soon as the market opened, I didn''t disappoint the people who were eating melons. A total of 5,000 lots of advanced copper futures and 3,000 lots of aluminum futures were sold out, directly causing the prices of the two futures to jump more than $0.03/lb. But the jump was only an instant, and the price immediately fell back because a large amount of empty orders was also thrown out, interrupting the price take-off. The fierce battle began again, and long and short money poured into the market. That is to say, the futures market generally uses high leverage, and basically more than ten times the leverage, otherwise it is really difficult to fight against the current fierce situation by relying on the financial institutions. At the end of the day, the outcome was still undecided, but the impact had already spread. In the evening, financial news from the three major television networks, including ABC, NBC, and CBS, and major broadcasters and other media focused on the struggle between the New York Mercantile Exchange¡¯s advanced copper futures and aluminum futures. After dinner, Xia Yuben drank tea leisurely at home, and relaxed leaning on the deerskin sofa to watch TV. However, a piece of news subsequently reported by ABC Financial News made Xia Yu''s eyes focused. "This afternoon, Southern Copper Corporation released its second-quarter financial report. In the second quarter, it produced 94,751 tons of copper, 17,562 tons of zinc and 1.42 million ounces of silver, of which copper production increased by 7.85% year-on-year, zinc production increased by 5.47% year-on-year, and silver production With a year-on-year increase of 3.14%, Southern Copper plans to adjust its production capacity and initially plans to produce 110,000 tons of copper, 20,000 tons of zinc and 1.5 million ounces of silver in the third quarter..." Before the beautiful host finished the news, Xia Yu sneered: "Hehe, the smoke bomb is coming!" "This is what the futures giant looks like. Even Southern Copper Co., Ltd. cooperates in acting!" Southern Copper Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1952 and is now one of the mining giants in the United States and the second largest copper producer in the United States. Don''t announce the financial report in the morning, the deviated person usually announces the financial report in the evening, and no one will believe it! When Xia Yu wanted to come, he didn''t want to use this night to make the news ferment. There must be many financial institutions on Wall Street brightly lit tonight! And tonight, major media companies will also work overtime to change their news. Southern Copper Corporation''s copper production increased sharply, and the planned copper production volume in the third quarter increased by more than 16% on the basis of the second quarter, which would have a huge impact on the US copper price. Of course, this effect seems to be negative at present. As the output increases, the price naturally drops Next, Xia Yu continues to watch the news. Philip Brothers did more than that. After Southern Copper Company, Xia Yu saw the news of another mining company. This company is Alcoa, which also has a large increase in aluminum output, and plans to increase its output by more than ten points in the next quarter. Before the second news was finished, the phone on Xia Yu''s desk rang quickly. After Xia Yu connected, Song Yang''s anxious voice came from the microphone. "Okay, I''m watching the news, you first inform everyone, tomorrow morning at seven o''clock in the company meeting, take a good rest tonight..." After hanging up, Xia Yu cast his eyes on the TV, sneered a few times, then picked up the remote control and turned it off, then threw the remote control on the sofa. It''s getting late, he wants to wash up and go to sleep. If you don''t cultivate your energy, how will you cope with the surging offensive of the bears tomorrow? v3 Chapter 846: Solomon Brothers enters the game The Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, is a favorite residential area for the rich, where many wealthy financial and investment banks gather. In a mansion in this area, the beautiful light music played through the screen windows, intersecting with the insects in the garden, and the bright moonlight poured down. Looking through the window, the figure in the living room can be vaguely seen. "John, welcome you!" Albert Raphael, the owner, raised the goblet, shook the amber wine in the glass, and smiled while looking at John Gufran, who was sitting across from him. "Hey!" John Gufran with glasses raised his glass, touched Albert Raphael lightly, smiled and said, "Albert, thank you for your hospitality." After all, the two toasted and drank together. On the table, of course, not only Albert Raphael and John Gufran, but also their families. It''s just that their family members will not intervene in their topics. Women talk to women, children and children very freely. A sumptuous dinner lasted nearly forty minutes, and finally Albert Raphael¡¯s wife and John Gufran¡¯s wife went to tidy the table together, while the children went upstairs to play. For a while, the living room became quiet again. Albert Raphael turned on the TV and turned down the sound a bit, and the two drank coffee talking and laughing. At this moment, news about the American Copper Company was broadcast. John Gufran smiled and looked at Albert Raphael, who happened to also smile at him. John Gufran admired: "Albert, is this your handwriting?" Albert Raphael did not answer directly, but shrugged and spread his hands and said, "I said no, do you believe it?" John Gufran smiled and shook his head: "I don''t believe it!" As the current president of Salomon Brothers, one of the large Wall Street financial companies, he is naturally not unfamiliar with this method. Combined with what happened during this period, he does not believe that this is not the work of Phillip Brothers. And the initiator is probably the old neighbor in front of him. "Albert, as far as the current situation is concerned, the strength of this Galaxy Fund should not be underestimated. You have to be careful not to capsize." John Gufran seems to be joking, but his tone is very serious, obviously he attaches great importance to the Galaxy Fund. In fact, the same is true. Although he started in the bond department of Salomon Brothers and took over as president after Bill Solomon retired in 1978, it does not mean that he is only proficient in the bond market and not the futures market. After Salomon Brothers gained a firm foothold in the bond market, in the 1950s and 1960s, it set foot in the field of stock issuance and trading, especially block trading, and under the leadership of Bill Solomon, Salomon Brothers was also one of the main forces in the futures market. The fighting power shown by the Galaxy Fund today, as well as the financial resources revealed behind it, are enough for John Gufran to regard it as an opponent of the same level. Although Salomon Brothers is not as strong as Philip Brothers, it can still pose a great threat, so changing to the mysterious Galaxy Fund is no exception. Who knows if the Galaxy Fund will show more muscles? Albert Raphael nodded solemnly and said seriously: "John, I don''t underestimate this company. This time, I plan to do my best!" John Gufran was taken aback and looked at Albert Raphael with scorching eyes, and found that the latter looked solemn and did not seem to be joking at all. Albert Raphael told him this so brightly, what on earth did he want to do? Several thoughts flashed in John Gufran''s mind, and a curiosity arose in his mind. "Albert, are you sure?" John Gufran asked. If at the beginning, Albert Raphael still had full certainty, but the combat effectiveness shown by the Galaxy Fund today makes him a little bit unsure, otherwise he will not use outside tricks to make the US Southern Company and Alcoa sold their company''s face, announced the second-quarter financial report a few days in advance, and also released smoke bombs. And most importantly, if he was really sure, he would not invite John Gufran to his home tonight. But these can''t be said, otherwise how can Salomon Brothers get into the chariot? So he confidently said: "John, in the US futures market, which company do you think can rival our company?" "This is the United States. How can a company from a remote country beat us? We will entertain it warmly." John Gufran listened with a smile, and nodded uncontrollably, making it impossible to see whether he agreed with Albert Raphael. At this moment, Albert Raphael turned his head and smiled and said, "But!" "I am not worried about the Galaxy Fund. I am worried that over time, the New York Mercantile Exchange will intervene, and uncontrollable troubles will easily occur at that time." "John, you should understand my worries. This year gold futures and silver futures have exploded. The futures market has been greatly traumatized. The trading volume of these two major markets has been less than half of the same period last year. The New York Mercantile Exchange definitely does not want advanced Copper futures and aluminum futures have also become sluggish." "So I plan to end the battle and complete the harvest in the shortest time." Some rhetoric, the statement is well-founded, and it seems that there is no loophole. John Gufran didn''t point his finger, but smiled and nodded and followed his words and said, "So? Albert, why are you asking me tonight?" Albert Raphael looked straight, staring into John Gufran¡¯s eyes with scorching eyes, and solemnly stated the true purpose of tonight: "John, I know that Salomon Brothers is still watching. I hope you Understand our determination, don¡¯t stand on the long side, and I don¡¯t mind sharing this feast with you, just like tonight!" John Gufran looked thoughtful, and Albert Raphael waited quietly. After a long time, John Gufran came back to his senses and asked a key question: "Albert, before answering your question, I want to know the truth. You must tell me everything." Albert Raphael nodded and said, "You said." "Why did Phillip Brothers target the Galaxy Fund? How do you know that the capital of the Galaxy Fund will be so strong? Which consortium is behind the Galaxy Fund?" John Gufran raised three questions in a row, and then stared into Albert Raphael''s eyes. The latter thought for a while, and said slowly: "I can answer you." "According to our intelligence, the power behind the Galaxy Fund comes from a small regional consortium named Jiuding Consortium in Xiangjiang Asia. It has certain strength, but it is not strong." "The reason why we will follow him is because of the request of the Chicago consortium. All these information are provided there." In order to be safe, Albert Raphael wanted to get Salomon Brothers on board, so he pulled the tiger skin of the Chicago Consortium. Sure enough, when he heard that the Chicago Consortium had instructed him, John Gufran''s expression was shocked. He has never heard of the Jiuding Consortium, but he knows the power of the Chicago Consortium. Since the Chicago Consortium wants to clean up the Galaxy Fund, the outcome is already doomed. If he joins the short, he will definitely get a share. wrong! Now that he is doomed to victory, why does Albert Raphael invite him to join for? A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, making John Gufran, who was already eager to move, instantly awake. He frowned and looked at Albert Raphael and asked: "Albert, since the Chicago Consortium is hunting, then What else did you invite me to do? Share your prey for free?" Fortunately, Albert Raphael has already deduced it again, otherwise he would be speechless. When he faced the question of John Gufran, he spread his hands reluctantly and said: "John, you and I are not Jewish, so I will not hide it from you. The ownership of Philip Brothers is in doubt. The Philip family is already weak and Jewish. Although the power is dominant, the Chicago Consortium is also coveting it." "Tenderer Wells is old. He managed the company very well before, but he has made more and more mistakes in the past two years. His position as chairman has not stabilized. This is an opportunity." "So the Chicago Consortium provided me with a chance to achieve great results, but in order to avoid arousing the company¡¯s Jewish vigilance, the Chicago Consortium could not give me too much financial help. Of course, there was help, such as Southern Copper Corporation and the United States. The Aluminum Company, which appears to be the work of Phillip Brothers, is actually a greeting from the Chicago consortium. "Although I have the confidence to eat the Galaxy Fund, the outcome of this battle involves too many things after all, including my future achievements. I also hope to become the chairman of a company like you, so I don¡¯t I hope that even if there is a little risk, you should understand my worries. I would rather have a small harvest, but also ensure 100% victory!" After speaking, Albert Raphael looked at John Gufran with sincere eyes. This statement, true and false, was carefully crafted by Albert Raphael, and he did not believe that John Gufran could distinguish it. No matter how clever John Gufran was, he was even hailed as the "King of Wall Street" by BusinessWeek five years later Faced with the guidance of Albert Raphael, he Fell into the pit. It can only be said that Albert Raphael is an Oscar-level actor, maybe he is more suitable to be a star. "John, what''s your answer?" Looking at Albert Raphael¡¯s expectant gaze, John Gufran smiled meaningfully and said: "Tonight''s dinner is delicious, I like it very much." Albert Raphael was taken aback, then smiled. He picked up his coffee and looked at John Gufran. The latter also picked up the cup, and the two cups clashed together. "Happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" PS: The curtain is gradually opened, try to make this story bigger and bigger, try to avoid loopholes, ask for a vote! v3 Chapter 847: The Lohill family is uncomfortable London, England is 5 hours faster than New York, USA. When Xia Yu went into deep sleep, the sky in London began to light up, and vehicles and people on the road gradually became dense. Lohill Family Manor. "A conflict with Philip Brothers?" After listening to Evelyn Roshir, Jacob Roshir frowned and felt a little gloomy. Seeing that Jacob Roschel looked a little unbelieving, Evelyn Roschel shrugged and said helplessly: "According to the news from Harris, it is indeed true, and it is the Phillip Brothers initiative. With regard to the Galaxy Fund, the fight has been fierce now. Both the Phillips Brothers and the Galaxy Fund have invested at least one billion U.S. dollars in capital!" Harris, mentioned by Evelyn Rohill, is the head of the American branch of the Rohill family. When Jacob Rosier was calculating Xia Yu and the Jiuding Consortium, he would naturally tell others at the family gathering that it was normal for Harris Rosier to pay attention to Xia Yu. It''s just that Jacob Rohill has a mixed feeling about the battle between the Galaxy Fund and Philip Brothers, and even has a bad feeling. The Philip family is a Jewish family in the United States, and it happens to be close to the Rohill family. From the outside, it can be attributed to the outer power of the Rohill family. And now the Philip Brothers Company is still in the hands of the Jewish department. As the benchmark among the Jews, the Rohill family can be called the "Jewish royal family" and will naturally favor their own people. However, Phillip Brothers fought against Xia Yu, and had fallen into it when he found out. Having invested more than one billion US dollars, it is not easy to return. If the Philip Brothers Company can win, it will be nothing, but it can also help the Rohill family by the way and consume Xia Yu''s working capital, which coincides with the previous plan of the Rohill family. Jacob Rohill was worried that the Philip Brothers Company would not win, and was taken care of by the Galaxy Fund and became the nourishment for the latter. Instead, it allowed the Jiuding Consortium to grow and influence their plans. In Jacob Rohill''s view, Philip Brothers has no idea about the reality of the Galaxy Fund, and it is very likely that it will not win. "This is really bad news!" Jacob Rohill lifted his forehead and sighed. Evelyn Jacobs heard the words, was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "Jacob, I don''t think this matter is so simple, why did Philip Brothers suddenly target the Galaxy Fund? And it made such a big bet!" "We all know that in Xia Yu''s style of acting, he is very low-key, and the Galaxy Fund did nothing when he went to New York. How could it be targeted by Phillip Brothers? I didn''t understand this along the way!" Jacob Rohill was taken aback for a moment, and then he thought about this. But he didn''t understand the complete story, and it was not easy to judge, so he asked: "Evelyn, did Harris have a complete process of collecting?" Evelyn Roshir immediately nodded and said: "I asked him when he called me. He has collected it and is sorting it out. It will be faxed by ten o''clock this morning." Jacob Rohill looked at his watch and found that it was already half past eight. His complexion eased, and he nodded slightly and said, "Then wait more than an hour." "All right, I''ll go back first and come back later." after an hour¡­¡­ Jacob Rohill and Evelyn Rohill each held a copy of the material, which was faxed by Harris Rohill from the United States. Although the Rohill family was suppressed by Rockefeller and Morgan in the United States, their strength should not be underestimated. The information collected is also very complete and very close to the truth. "Well, things are really not easy. I just don''t know who is behind the calculations. Is it Morgan or Rockefeller?" After reading it, Jacob Rohill said unhappily. The intelligence shows that it was the idea of ??Albert Rafael, manager of the rare metals futures department of Philip Brothers, to target the Galaxy Fund, and Albert Rafael was a member of the Chicago Consortium. But Jacob Rohill is also aware of the current situation of the Chicago Consortium. The core families in Chicago are already in a whirlpool and are struggling to deal with the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium. How could they bother to think about things. So he thought in the first place that Morgan or Rockefeller was behind the scenes. Using Morgan and Rockefeller''s means, it is easy to find out the relationship between Xia Yu and the Rothschild family. Of course, it was Jacob Rosill''s idea to expose the relationship to the two. So Morgan and Rockefeller had the motivation for this calculation. No matter which side wins, it has no effect on them. It seems that the Rohill family suffers. "Jacob, I think this may represent a small step in our calculation. Rockefeller and Morgan have already regarded Xia Yu as one of us." "Of course it may be just a test." "The most important thing now is, what should we do? Who can help? Or ignore it?" Evelyn Rohill asked helplessly, this matter can only be decided by the Patriarch Jacob Rohill. "Let me think about it carefully." Jacob Rohill felt a little big head, he rubbed his temples, then closed his eyes and thought. Now Rockefeller and Morgan must have known the relationship between Xia Yu and the Rohill family, and it is still the kind of relationship that looks like Xia Yu is a minion of the Rohill family. If you help the Phillip Brothers company, then the Rohill family will destroy the Great Wall and bring out the facts. At that time, it may be that the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family are interested in Xia Yu, and he will be included under his command. In this way, the Rockefeller family and As long as the Morgan family successfully swallowed the Jiuding Consortium, then the strength would rise to another level, and his plan would have failed. If you help the Galaxy Fund, you will establish the relationship between the Rothschild family and Xia Yu. Later, the Rockefeller and Morgan families will most likely target Xia Yu. With Xia Yu¡¯s ability and capital, it will definitely make a big noise. , Can involve a part of the energy of the Rockefeller family or the Morgan family, and make the Rohill family feel more comfortable, so that the Rohill family''s purpose has achieved a large part. But the disadvantages are also obvious. Philip Brothers will fall, and the strength of the Galaxy Fund will be greatly increased. In other words, the strength of the Jiuding Consortium will be greatly increased. In the face of the Jiuding Consortium with extremely strong capital, with the character of the two old foxes of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, it is unlikely that Xia Yu will die. Xia Yu is not in desperation, and it is difficult for the Rothier family to find a chance to give Xia Yu. To be trapped, instead, he would watch Xia Yu gain a foothold in the United States step by step, and the hope of control would become thinner. Not only that, if Rockefeller and Morgan spread the news that the Rohill family helped outsiders to kill the Philip family, it would have a great impact on the Rohill family¡¯s reputation among the Jewish community, and it would be the Rohill family¡¯s influence. The foundation! The Roshir family was able to rebuild after the war for its own reasons, but it was also inseparable from the help of the united Jewish community. Otherwise, how could the Rohill family still put their hands in the United States now? Isn''t it dependent on the Jewish people who have a great influence on American politics and business? What I have to mention here is that although many sources on the Internet say that the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family are Jewish, they are actually not at all, and even if they have no Jewish blood! The Morgan family was a British banking family for a long time. The Rockefeller family can be traced back to Germany in the seventeenth century. It also has no Jewish blood. It is just that later generations are used to pulling the top big men on the Jews. It seems that only in this way can there be a sense of reason. If the Rockefeller and Morgan families were really Jewish, then during World War II would not secretly encourage the executioner to raise the butcher knife! Closer to home. Jacob Rohill thought about it, and found that no matter who he helped, the benefits were obvious, and the disadvantages were also obvious, and the disadvantages were not what the Rohill family wanted The risk was too great! The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and he had an urge to curse. Which **** gave him such an insidious method! Seeing Jacob Lowhill''s face getting more and more ugly, Evelyn Lowhill frowned and asked, "Jacob, what''s the matter?" Jacob Roshere confided his thoughts to Evelyn Roshere, who also had a headache after listening. Who do you want to help? It''s really tricky! For a while, the air in the room became more and more dull. I have to say that David Rockefeller¡¯s flirty little trick made the Rohill family uncomfortable. PS: I''m sorry, I have been working overtime at noon and night these days, accidents happen frequently, and there is no time for codewords, so I upload now. v3 Chapter 848: Of course it is walking sideways After a long time, Jacob Rohill looked cold and finally made up his mind. The Jewish foundation is the foundation of the Rohir family''s survival, and cannot be given up, so it is absolutely impossible to help the Galaxy Fund! "I don''t know it on the surface, but secretly help Philip Brothers Company!" Evelyn Rohill was taken aback, thought about it and nodded slightly, and said: "This is indeed a good way. If we can hit the Galaxy Fund hard, then we have a chance." "If you only help Philip Brothers in secret, the average small company will not play a big role at all. It must be a company with sufficient strength." As for the so-called letting of the anonymous accounts of the companies under the Rohir family, this is simply unrealistic, because there is no airtight wall in the world, and exposure is only a matter of time. They know that Xia Yu has a Bright Fund in London, and they are very well informed about the London capital market. With an inexplicable light in his eyes, Jacob Roshir said: "Enable the dark hands of the Bank of Bahrain. With the strength of the Bank of Bahrain, it can affect the copper and aluminum futures markets to a certain extent." Speaking of this, Jacob Rohill paused, then said quietly: "Even if the Galaxy Fund wins in the end, we are not without gain." Evelyn Rohill looked at his cousin in surprise, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Indeed, the Bahrain family has been out of elites for decades, and it is increasingly dependent on external management. In their hands, what a pity..." In the upper echelons of Britain, everyone knows that the Bahrain family is not dealing with the Rohill family. The history of the Bahrain family is longer than that of the Lowhill family. Even long ago, the Bahrain Bank of the Bahrain family even imitated the Lowhill family. Of course, because the business model of Bahrain Bank is different from ordinary commercial banks, it does not develop the deposit business of ordinary customers, because the source of funds is relatively limited, and it can only rely on its own strength to seek survival and development. It is precisely for this reason that the Bank of Barings, which was established in 1763, has been developed for more than two hundred years, but has been surpassed by rising stars. Although it is a large bank in the UK, it cannot be squeezed into the top five. But it is undeniable that the Bank of Bahrain does have many advantages, which are worth coveting by the Rohill family. In addition, although the Bahrain family has elites, they are not the top ones. They have not made much contribution to the development of the company. Instead, many outstanding figures have appeared in the external management, which has caused the Bahrain family to control the Bahrain Bank. To be weak. If not, it would be impossible for the Roshir family to insert a dark hand in, and still occupy a high position. It is quite normal for major families and financial groups to infiltrate each other. The dark hands buried for so long have finally come to use! Next, Jacob Roshere discussed with Evelyn Roshere for a long time, perfected the plan to the details, and then began to implement it. ... When the Roshir family started their dark hands to calculate the Bank of Bahrain, the battle on the other side of the Great West Bank became more intense. "Boss, there is a large empty order, and the short-term strength has skyrocketed." In the operation room of the New York branch of Galaxy Fund, an operator immediately said loudly. Xia Yu, who was talking to Song Yang, immediately approached the seat and looked at the large empty orders that suddenly appeared. With a cold look, he calmly ordered: "Let go of your hands and feet, come and take as many as you want, and see how many empty orders they have! " "Yes!" Each trader''s mind was determined and quickly executed. "Look up, which company sent the empty order that popped up?" Xia Yu commanded Song Yang without looking back. "Okay, I''m going now!" Song Yang replied with a serious expression, and then left quickly to find out the news. Before long, he gave feedback again, and reported to Xia Yuhui with a solemn expression: "Boss, I have found out the source of the account. It is Salomon Brothers. They have joined the short and they have not concealed it at all. They have a very determined attitude." Song Yang knows the details of Salomon Brothers. It is also a large financial institution on Wall Street. The strength is still very good. He felt a lot of pressure for such a heavy crocodile to join the local camp. "Solomon Brothers?" "It looks like I''m arguing with the Jews?" Xia Yu sneered, but didn''t feel any pressure. Instead, there was a feeling of blood boiling. This is interesting. Killing one chicken is also killing, killing two chickens is also killing. Since you have this strength, it doesn''t hurt to kill one more, just to announce his arrival to the upper class in the United States. If it were to be replaced by Salomon Brothers in seven or eight years, Xia Yu might still value it several times, but he is not worried at all when the time is advanced to now. Solomon Brothers is not the later "King of Wall Street", it has not changed, and it is not difficult to clean up! Even at the peak of Salomon Brothers, Xia Yu was confident that he could rely on capital to defeat it head-on, let alone now? "Boss, Phillip Brothers and Salomon Brothers are both Jewish companies. Will there be other Jewish companies joining in the future? Then..." Halfway through, the worried Song Yang didn''t dare to go on. Xia Yu''s face was slightly condensed, knowing Song Yang''s worries, if he faced various Jewish consortiums in the United States, he would definitely be worse. Although he is self-confident but not arrogant, the Jewish forces in the United States, even the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium are jealous, let alone talk about him! At this moment, the phone in the operation room rang quickly, and an employee who was guarding the phone immediately answered the call. After a few simple words, he turned his head and shouted to Xia Yu: "Boss, it¡¯s from Chicago. Manager Xue¡¯s phone." Xia Yu immediately walked over and took the handset to answer. "Hey, Xue He, what''s the situation on your side?" "Boss, the situation on the Chicago Stock Exchange is very dangerous, and the shorts have soared. I suspect that other big shorts have joined. Now I am investigating..." Xue He''s heavy voice came from the microphone. Xia Yu immediately replied: "Check if it''s Salomon Brothers You don''t have to hesitate, resist it with all your strength, I will order someone to deposit another sum of money into your account." ... "Boss, are the bears in Chicago also working hard?" Seeing Xia Yu hung up the phone, Song Yang asked cautiously. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "Well, the bears are working again. It is estimated that it is Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers. It seems that the bears are planning to expand the battlefield. They are new to bullying us and want us to be tired of coping." "Then where do we go next?" Song Yang asked quickly. Xia Yu glanced at him, then looked at the busy traders, and said faintly: "How to go? Of course it is walking sideways!" After speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed a string of international numbers. v3 Chapter 849: Entered Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. "Wang Qi, start working hard now to increase the prices of copper futures and aluminum futures on the Tokyo Futures Exchange for me, and let Kazuya Fukuhara come forward and find Sumitomo Corporation..." After the conversation with Wang Qi ended, Xia Yu took the microphone and wanted to call George Berkeley in London again, but he thought for a while and found out and waited. The London Metal Exchange is the world¡¯s largest metal futures trading market. The water in it is even more muddy than those in New York and Chicago. It¡¯s easy to attract the attention of giants if it jumps out. The risk is uncontrollable, but the best way is to moisten things silently. Generally raise the price, anyway, he had told George Berkeley before, and the latter knew what to do. Furthermore, as long as Fukuhara and Kazuo are able to move Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. to their long side, there will be people in the early days of the London Metal Exchange. Leave it to the little devil to attract hatred. With the arrogant mentality of the little devil in this era, I don¡¯t want European and American ghosts to see their energy. In Xia Yu''s view, if you really want to make a difference in one fell swoop, you shouldn''t be on the exchange, but on the sidelines! What I have to say here is the speculative method of futures. The most well-known speculation methods are "hoarding" and "short selling attacks." The so-called hoarding is to hoard a large amount of spot and buy futures contracts at the same time, so that the short futures can not find enough spot to deliver, so they have to admit to lose and bear huge losses. The so-called short-selling attack is to sell a large number of futures contracts with huge financial resources, causing the futures price to continue to fall, making the longs in the futures unable to bear the losses and being forced to admit compensation. Now Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers are using this method. , Trying to use capital to crush the bulls led by the Galaxy Fund. "Hoarding odds" is used to combat shorts, and "short selling attacks" are used to combat longs. No matter which method, they try to create huge price fluctuations in a short period of time, causing a serious deviation between the futures price of a commodity and the intrinsic value in order to make huge profits. But still the same sentence, the capital market, the most advantageous weapon has always been capital. As long as there is enough capital, even remote ravines can rush out of the torrent in a short time and flood the opponent. Xia Yu is currently relying on capital to withstand the "short-sale attack" of Philip Brothers, and even able to place long orders to counterattack, forcing Albert Raphael to feel a little hopeless and had to pull Solomon Brothers. Together, the company tried to defeat the bulls led by Galaxy Fund. If Xia Yu intends to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, the best way is to use large capital to hoard spot, while holding down the high futures prices, let the bears realize that victory is hopeless and raise their hands to surrender. Otherwise, just play digital games on the exchange, as long as the margin is sufficient, you can play indefinitely until the delivery time agreed in the contract. If Xia Yu doesn¡¯t have any physical objects in hand, the longer the delay, the more and more funds will be invested by the Galaxy Fund. The bigger the cake, the more attractive it will be. If Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers connect to more companies to hunt him If so, the risk is too great! Xia Yu is not so arrogant that he dares to underestimate a group of big crocodiles on Wall Street. It is completely different if there is a real object, there is the courage to fight to the end, and the qualification to lift the table. Especially I don¡¯t know if Phillip Brothers and Salomon Brothers are too confident in their own capital, or are worried about the uncertain troubles caused by delaying too long. The contract performance period is set at three months from the beginning to the end! However, the Galaxy Fund can take over the purchase no matter when it is delivered, as long as there is a contract to sell, no matter if it is three or seven twenty one, it will take over the purchase. Anyway, as long as the delivery time is reached, the shorts can''t take out physical delivery or the equivalent amount of contract liquidation, just wait The position was forcibly closed by the exchange. This involves the trading rules of the futures market, which are actually quite simple. Take soybean meal as an example to do a simulated trading of short futures. The process of this transaction is like this. If the seller first agrees to a contract, the agreed price in the contract is 3,800 yuan, and the contract has a time limit for performance, for example, three months. During these three months, if the price of soybean meal drops to 3,500 yuan, if you are the seller in the contract, it has been agreed in your contract that you can pay 3,800 yuan at any time during these three months. The price of one ton will fulfill this contract. At this time, you can buy 3,500 tons of soybean meal or contract on the market and sell it to the buyer in the contract, so that you have completed a short transaction. The difference of 300 yuan in the middle is the profit of shorting. Of course, if the price of soybean meal is the lowest in the three months at 4,200 yuan, then it means that the short selling has failed. If you are lucky enough to catch the lowest price of 4,200 yuan, you will have to lose 400 when you buy physical soybean meal for delivery. Yuan ton, if you are unlucky, you will lose more. Generally speaking, in futures, the bet is on vision. Of course, in theory, as long as the capital is enough, what momentum can be forcibly reversed. Thinking of this, Xia Yu dialed the office of the chairman of Xiangjiang, and the answer was Huo Jianning. Xia Yu asked him to notify relevant companies to select personnel to prepare for departure. At the same time, he supervised the economic research office of Jiuding Newspaper Company and the three major companies. Jiuding Business Research Institute, one of the think tanks, compiled research reports on the global copper and aluminum industries as quickly as possible. After the order, the Jiuding Consortium began to accelerate its operation. In the next few days, with the addition of Salomon Brothers, the battle became more intense, attracting a large number of attention, including financial predators, economic media, and melon-eaters. The bottom of the Galaxy Fund has been dug out more and more. Fortunately, the Galaxy Fund is registered offshore, and the legal person before the launch is also Liu Xiao, who is far away in Xiangjiang. On the surface, it has nothing to do with Xia Yu. Xia Yu did not It was exposed to the public eye by the media. However, in the face of the malicious attacks from some arrogant nationalist media Xia Yu did not endure without his temper. He asked Yan Wenhan to direct his subordinate media to join in, making the water more and more muddy. The war of words was fierce. Two days later, Xia Yu received bad news. The source was George Berkeley in London. George Berkeley claimed that Barings Bank was doing short copper futures and aluminum futures on the London Metal Exchange, and his attitude was quite resolute. According to reports reported by his subordinates, he also saw senior officials of Barings Bank¡¯s futures department enter the London branch of Phillip Brothers and the Barings Bank futures department It took almost a morning for the senior management to leave. The joining of Bank of Bahrain was completely unexpected by Xia Yu, but things have already happened, and the only thing that can be done is to actively respond. After instructing George Berkeley to arrange for the vest to come forward, Xia Yu avoids making a few more phone calls. ¡­¡­ In the cex club of the island country Tokyo, Kazuya Fukuhara and a middle-aged man in his forties are bathed in a steaming hot spring pool. There is a small table by the pool. There are many snacks and drinks on the table. There are three people on each side. The beautiful girl rubbed their shoulders and wiped their backs, poured wine and fed snacks. "Fukuhara-kun, thank you for your warm hospitality. I wonder if you invited me today. Any advice?" Sumitomo Keigo, who was in his forties, with his head tucked and hairy chest, was enjoying a soft and relaxing massage. He smiled and asked Fukuhara Kazuya. v3 Chapter 850: Chaotic war Latest website: Although I asked, Sumitomo Keigo knows that Kazunari Fukuhara¡¯s purpose must be related to copper futures and aluminum futures. As the person in charge of Sumitomo Trading Co., and the elite who made Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. a comprehensive trading company, it is difficult for Sumitomo Keigo to know the changes in the island metal futures market. More than ten years ago, under the background of the rapid economic growth and internationalization of island countries, the products operated by Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. have gradually expanded to include steel, non-ferrous metals, electric power and electronic products, machinery, agricultural and fishery products, chemicals, fiber products, Natural resources and real estate, especially in the metal futures market, are mixed. In 1970, Sumitomo Corporation entered the London Metal Exchange, and relying on the Sumitomo Consortium''s foundation and layout in the non-ferrous metal market, Sumitomo Corporation''s influence in the global copper market is growing. These days, Jiuding Yonghe Fund, the futures department of Sanhe Bank, and the Yonghe Fund of Fukuhara Kazuya are all longing the copper futures and aluminum futures of the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, which has already attracted the attention of many financial giants. . He was still investigating the specific situation, but he didn''t expect Kazuo Fukuhara to invite him, which is interesting. "Sumitomo-kun, I don''t want to make a roundabout, this time I am here to share the feast with you!" Fukuhara Kazuya looked sincere and said with a smile. Sumitomo Keigo raised his eyebrows, looked at Kazunari Fukuhara with interest, and smiled: "Please tell me." Fukuhara Kazuya must have taken a sip of rice wine and waved away the waiting girl. When confirming the door was closed, he lowered his voice and slowly said the words he had prepared in his heart: "Sumitomo-kun, since World War II, The major consortiums in our island country have been dismembered by the British and American ghosts. Although they have been reintegrated over the years and rely on our country¡¯s growing economic strength and are rapidly recovering, our influence on a global scale is still small, and Discrimination in many places." Hearing this, Sumitomo Keigo nodded in sympathy. Over the years, he led Sumitomo Corporation to do business internationally, but he has been targeted and discriminated against. In many cases, Sumitomo Corporation is stronger than many companies, but it is still overlooked by proud white people. Sumitomo Keigo knows the crux of the problem, but the unhappiness and anger in his heart will not disappear. Instead, he continues to encourage him to work hard to grow Sumitomo Corporation. "Now, it''s time to make our voice!" "At present, I have cooperated with Galaxy Fund and are doing long copper futures and aluminum futures globally. I have already gained an advantage. With the strength of Sumitomo Corporation, as long as I join in, the victory will belong to us. For Sumitomo Corporation, the benefits are also very great. Obviously, it will greatly increase its influence in the copper and aluminum markets." "Of course, your prestige has also been greatly improved. I think, as long as your grades are sufficient, the host can''t stop you from moving forward." At the end, Kazuya Fukuhara smiled "you know" to Sumitomo Keigo. The corners of Sumitomo Keigo''s mouth raised slightly, and then disappeared. The reason why Fukuhara Kazuo would say the last word to Sumitomo Keigo is because of Sumitomo Keigo''s identity. Although he has the same surname as Sumitomo, he is an offshoot of the Sumitomo family, not the head of the family. It''s just because Sumitomo Keigo is so capable that he stands out from his sidelines and now holds one of the core companies of the Sumitomo Foundation and is one of the four largest traders in the island country. At present, Sumitomo Keigo can be said to be the most outstanding one of the many side lines of the Sumitomo family and the leader of his line. The most indispensable thing in a large family is competition, and the competition between the main line and the branch line is an eternal situation. The stronger the family strength, the greater the benefits to the main line, but the main line is afraid that the strength of the side line is too strong, threatening their dominant position in the family, and even the dragon and the snake are transposed. However, the Sumitomo family is a family with a history of more than three hundred years. The founders of the Sumitomo family have a long-term vision and set a family motto early. The family motto stipulates that intra-family competition can exist, but it must be benign and cannot become a vicious struggle. For the long-term development of the family, if the main line is not as good as the side branches, the helm of the family can be replaced. Therefore, in each generation of the Sumitomo family, there are many collaterals who try to take advantage of the splendid merits to lead their own dominating family step by step. The current family head of the Sumitomo family is also a branch. Kazuo Fukuhara is also very clear that Keigo Sumitomo has ideas about the position of the Sumitomo family as the head of the family. He is also the most promising success in the Sumitomo family''s sub-branch. Although the hope is still very small, after all, the contribution to the Sumitomo family is not enough. To convince the public. But as long as he accumulates a little bit of credit and influence, it is possible after all! "Fukuhara-kun, as far as I know, Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers have entered the short side of the United States, and the latest news shows that the British Bank of Barings has begun to sell on a large scale. Are you sure that the Galaxy Fund can carry it? " Sumitomo Keigo pondered for a long time and asked solemnly. A hint of surprise flashed in Fukuhara''s eyes. He really didn''t know that the British Bank of Barings had also entered the venue, but thinking that Sumitomo Corporation had already established a branch in London, the news should be correct. Although there are many short-term giants, Kazuo Fukuhara is confident in Xia Yu. In his opinion, Keigo Sumitomo would say so, it is nothing but ignorance of Xia Yu and the Jiuding Consortium. He confidently said: "Sumitomo-kun, you can rest assured that if you are not sure of winning, I cannot join. Your news is better than mine. You should know that the shorts and the longs are still evenly matched. I see the strength of the Galaxy Fund." "As long as you join, with Sumitomo Corporation''s position in the global copper market, the scale of victory will definitely tilt towards us!" Sumitomo Keigo thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Yo Sai!" "Since the Chinese dare to collide with British and American ghosts and animals, how can our Yamato people lag behind!" "It''s time for those white people to see the strength of our Asians, so that they don''t always look at us with discriminatory eyes!" "Fukuhara-san, happy cooperation!" "Sumitomo-kun, happy cooperation!" "Hahaha..." After laughing, Kazuya Fukuhara asked again: "Sumitomo-kun, when do you plan to do it? So that we can be prepared." "Well... you also have to give me time to prepare, so be it, two days later, I will arrange for someone to do it!" ... After Sumitomo Corporation agreed to join, it immediately started on the island country''s copper futures and aluminum futures markets. In this way, it is equivalent to the Sumitomo Consortium and Sanhe Consortium doing long copper futures and aluminum futures at the same time Although the other four consortiums are concerned, they will not have a head-on conflict for some interests. As for the other six consortiums Financial companies outside the country do not have the courage and strength to fight against the two consortiums at the same time. Therefore, the prices of island aluminum futures and copper futures have soared. Two days later, Keigo Sumitomo, who had learned about the latest situation, had a lot of confidence in the Galaxy Fund. Then he called the head of the metal trading department of Sumitomo Corporation''s London branch to join the long camp. George Berkeley, who was paying close attention to the battlefield, called Xia Yu and received the order of a massive offensive, summoned relevant operators to deploy tasks, and then aggressively attacked. This doesn''t stop there. George Berkeley also ordered the Financial Times Group, Mirror Group and other media under his control to cooperate with the media to publish short-term bullish news about copper and aluminum futures. The Bank of Barings was not aware of it, and was suddenly defeated by the turbulent offensive. The head of the Bank of Barings'' futures was so frightened that he immediately invested a large amount of money to increase short-selling. For a time, the global copper futures and aluminum futures markets ignited war in many places, and the market became chaotic. () v3 Chapter 851: Billion dollar war Latest website: Rockefeller Manor, New York. "It''s getting more and more exciting, a little beyond my expectation..." David Rockefeller muttered to himself with some surprise after understanding the complete situation. He didn''t expect that he did a little calculation not long ago, but it turned into the current situation in a short period of time. The expected power of the Rohill family did not appear. Instead, Salomon Brothers, Bank of Barings and Sumitomo Corporation appeared. The battles were still quite fierce, and the bargaining chips for the long and short investments were considerable. But he still feels something wrong, that is why the Bank of Barings will short copper futures and aluminum futures on the London Metal Exchange! He knew that the Bahrain family and the Jews couldn''t urinate in the same pot, and the way the Philip Brothers company is now is not like the Bahrain family style. Furthermore, he did not find any conflict between the Bahrain family and Xia Yu, and there was no reason to commit a personal risk. David Rockefeller always felt that this matter revealed a familiar taste. After thinking about it for a long time, he showed a faint look, changed his position, and muttered to himself: "It''s a bit like Jacob Rohill''s style." "Since I can guide the Philip Brothers company to take action, using Jacob Rosill''s method, there is no reason not to set up secret hands in the Bahrain family that is not dealing with each other." "According to this calculation, the Roshir family has not yet controlled the Jiuding Consortium...interesting..." After thinking about it, David Rockefeller took a high look at Xia Yu and the Jiuding Consortium and decided to continue to pay attention and wait for the opportunity. ... Also in New York, in the suburb of Xia Yu''s manor. Seeing a group of familiar Chinese faces standing in the living room, Xia Yu showed a happy smile. "You all sit down and be more casual. There is tea on the table, there is a coffee machine there. Do it yourself if you want to drink." After welcoming everyone to sit down, Xia Yu chatted with them about the various companies in Xiangjiang. These people sitting here are all temporarily transferred from Xiangjiang. Including Eleven, Jin Jiajun, Jason Gregg, and others, are the elites of various companies under Jiuding Financial Group. They have also seen the world with Xia Yu. They are relatively calm and stable, and they can carry a big responsibility. After the conversation, Xia Yu took out the materials prepared by the man and handed a copy. The content of the materials was about the struggle between the copper futures and the aluminum futures market. Xia Yu was not afraid of leaking, after all, some secret things would definitely not be written on it, and those written on it could not be hidden. Furthermore, after this war in the futures market is won, it will definitely be used as a classic case of internal teaching and training in financial groups, so there is no need to hide it now. When everyone began to look at it, Xia Yu also picked up the information brought by his subordinates from Xiangjiang about the mining giants in the global copper and aluminum market. Although all major commodity exchanges around the world have spot contracts in addition to futures contracts, the number is still too small. If you want to get more spot, the best way is of course to find major mining companies directly. Statistics show that in 1979, the global copper output was about 10 million tons, and the global market was only more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. And although there are 57 copper mining countries in the world, there are eleven major copper mining countries in the capitalist world. The top four are Chile, the United States, Canada, and Zambia, followed by Peru, Mexico, and Mexico. Zaire, Philippines, Australia, South Africa, Papua-New Guinea. The total output of copper from 11 countries last year was as high as 6.5 million tons. If you exclude the socialist countries, the output of mineral copper in these eleven countries accounts for about 83% of the total copper output of the capitalist world. The top ten copper producers in the world are Chile National Copper Company, Mexican Copper Group, Anglo American Resources Group, Newmont Mining Company of the United States, Canada''s First Quantum Mining Company, Australia BHP Mining Company, American Southern Copper Company, British Force Mining Corporation, Billiton Mining Corporation of Australia and Antofagasta Mining Corporation of Chile. The top eleven copper production countries and the top ten copper producers in the world are difficult to match. The reason is that small countries have no rights. Copper production is basically mined by the local branches of the world''s mining giants, not mining supported by their own governments. Company mining. Next is the aluminum market. Last year, the global aluminum production was about 12 million tons, while the United States produced 4.6 million tons, which is more than one-third. It is a large aluminum producer and consumer. The global aluminum market is as high as 20 billion US dollars. ... Time passed slowly. When Xia Yu read the information on the copper and aluminum markets, everyone sitting there also read the materials in his hands. Xia Yu scanned at will and found that each was shocked, shocked by the magnificent financial war that Galaxy Fund participated in. "Flap!" Xia Yu smiled faintly, clapped his hands to focus everyone''s attention, and said with a smile: "Okay, you also understand the situation. Letting you come this time requires your participation." "And your role is very crucial, it can determine whether we can win!" Everyone was very excited when they heard the first sentence, but Xia Yu''s last sentence made them feel their shoulders sinking and they couldn''t help becoming serious. Taking everyone¡¯s expressions into his eyes, Xia Yu nodded secretly, and then said: ¡°If you think about it clearly, you should understand that the key to victory or defeat lies off the court. I need you to secretly travel around the world to buy spot contracts for mineral copper and aluminum. The more the better, and it must be fast to buy more spot contracts in the shortest time." Everyone was shocked when he said this. Ai Lewen couldn¡¯t help blurting out: ¡°Chairman, the global copper market and the aluminum market together exceed US$30 billion a year. Even if half a year has passed now, if half of the consumption is removed, there is still US$15 billion. In the above market, if you want to manipulate the market, you must invest at least 5 billion U.S. dollars. This capital..." At the end, Eleven''s heart trembled. Five billion U.S. dollars, more than 23 billion in Hong Kong dollars, and it must be cash! Imagine the funds that have been invested in the futures market and the funds that will be invested in the future. Doesn''t this mean that at least eight or nine billion US dollars or even more will be spent in this battle? After listening to other people, they couldn''t help swallowing, this is too big. When did the chairman actually have this strength? Is your Jiuding Consortium so powerful? Xia Yu smiled slightly, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "You don''t have to worry about money. There are many banks in the world. As long as you can get a bargaining chip, let alone 5 billion dollars, 10 billion dollars can be easily allocated. " Although the people sitting here are all his own, but some things should be concealed or concealed. Of course, Xia Yu will not say that he uses his own funds, but pushes them to the bank. That said, the talents were a little relieved, but the huge numbers still shocked them. Thinking of the need for them to spend billions of dollars in funds next, while the various pressures are great, I also feel that the blood in my body is gradually boiling. "Okay, I''ll assign you tasks, and you all take paper notes." "Eleven, you take the team to Antofagasta Mining in Chile..." "Jason, you go to Canada, the goal is the first quantum mining company..." "Jin Jiajun, you go to Mexico, the target is the Mexican Copper Company..." "..." After the assignment was completed, Xia Yu asked Li Wuming to open the carton next to him, took out blue file boxes, and randomly distributed one to each person. After everyone had received it, Xia Yu said, "The boxes in each of you are filled with registered shell companies. There are 30 in each box. Not only do you have complete basic information about the company, but also Corresponding Swiss bank accounts, besides each box there is an operating manual." "Each company and bank account has a serial number marked. If you have negotiated how many contracts you have signed, dial the number left in the operation manual on your local phone and report the code corresponding to the account serial number and amount. The funds will be available within 24 hours. Break into the account..." After explaining in detail Xia Yu asked in a deep voice: "What questions do you have?" Everyone shook their heads. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "It seems to be listening carefully, so I won''t repeat it too much. If you don''t understand, call me again." "When you arrive in various countries, there is a risk that you are unfamiliar with your life. In order to protect your safety, I have assigned a five-member elite security team to you. When it is critical, you must listen to their arrangements. In terms of life protection, they are more Good at." Everyone was stunned, but they didn''t dare to think about it, and they replied in unison: "Understand!" "Tonight, you will leave after eating at my place. There is still some time in the afternoon. You can discuss with each other. I have something to do. Go out first." After that, Xia Yu took the bodyguards out and drove to New York''s Kennedy International Airport. PS: After the three shifts, go to bed, ask for a ticket v3 Chapter 852: Duke Howard Latest website: New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, founded in 1942, was originally named New York International Airport, but because of the assassination of the US President in 1963, the airport was renamed John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport as a commemoration. As one of the world''s major aviation hubs, New York''s John F. Kennedy International Airport is busy with aircraft operations. When Xia Yu is waiting, passenger planes can be seen flying into the sky from time to time. Xia Yu remained patient and waited quietly. At this moment, a group of people came out of the airport. Although the young girl surrounded by them was wearing sunglasses, Xia Yu still recognized her in an instant. He stepped forward, greeted him with his bodyguards, and embraced the young girl who also recognized Xia Yu. "Elena, long time no see!" "Xia Yu, it''s nice to see you again!" Yes, it was Elena who came here. Xia Yu called George Berkeley before and asked him to arrange an individual to come to New York to pick up the mission and bring the mission information back. This news was known to Elena. Elena, who missed Xia Yu, volunteered to come to New York. How dare George Berkeley say no? Then George Berkeley told Xia Yu that this happened when Xia Yu came to pick up the plane. Hugging tightly for half a minute, after all, I felt that it was too conspicuous at the huge airport, not to mention that there were so many bodyguards, Elena struggled slightly reluctantly, and Xia Yu let go of Elena. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said naturally, "Elena, let''s get in the car first, and go to my place to put things away." "Well, listen to you." Elena replied softly. Then the group boarded the car in batches, and the convoy set off to Xia Yu''s manor in New York. Jin Jiajun and others who were still in the manor saw Xia Yu bringing Elena in, and they realized that they and the others seemed to know something they shouldn''t know. Although the chairman didn''t say it, they made up their minds to forget about it. After the group had dinner in the evening, all the subordinates in the group were sent to the airport. In America, where guns are flooded, even in cities, the night is full of danger. Although Xia Yu wanted to take Elena out for shopping, considering the actual situation, he had to regret that the time was postponed to tomorrow day. Fortunately, the two of them have common hobbies and endless topics, but they are not boring. After Elena played the piano, Xia Yu couldn''t help applauding: "Elena, your piano skill is getting better and better. You play really well." Elena smiled like a peach blossom: "Hehe, I will practice this piano music every day when I come home. If it is winter, it will be fine. Now there is no snowflake against the background. I played this song "Snow Dream". Still missing some artistic conception." ... Talking and laughing, Xia Yu and Elena sat side by side on the sofa in the living room, Elena took the initiative to talk to Xia Yu about work. "Xia Yu, I heard from Manager George, it''s about futures market work, isn''t it?" Xia Yu, who didn''t plan to talk about work tonight, was taken aback for a moment. When he saw Elena''s serious expression, his heart warmed and he nodded and said, "Yes." "Elena, wait a moment, I''ll get something." After that, Xia Yu got up and went to the closet, opened the door, took out the blue box that I gave to Jin Jiajun and the others in the afternoon, returned to the sofa, opened the blue box, and placed it in front of Elena. "Let''s take a look first, but for specific things, after you bring the information back, I will ask George to arrange for someone to do it. Although this is simple but very cumbersome, just let the people below do it." Xia Yu said casually, he didn''t want Elena to come forward to buy spot copper contracts and aluminum contracts. This kind of hard work and nothing to learn, let Elena suffer, so how could Xia Yu be willing. Feeling Xia Yu''s concern for herself, Elena pressed her lips lightly. After reading it, she nodded and said, "Okay." "Xia Yu, why would the Bank of Barings suddenly short copper futures and aluminum futures?" Xia Yu shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and calmly said: "At present, only Baring Bank knows the motive, but since it chose to oppose me, it must pay the price." Xia Yu said domineering words in a calm tone, and Elena couldn''t help but shine. Xia Yu couldn''t help but think of the fate of Barings Bank in his previous life. It was because of a major problem in the futures market that resulted in the bankruptcy of Barings Bank when its assets reached 27 billion pounds. In this life, the bankruptcy of Bahrain is still very early, but since the Bank of Bahrain has jumped out to oppose him, Xia Yu will never let him get better, and the Bank of Bahrain will have to lose his skin if he survives. Thinking back now, it seems that because of Duke Howard, he developed smoothly in the UK, and he really did not encounter any major setbacks, of course, he could not stand up. This is indeed a good opportunity at present. The Bank of Barings is the first to start, and it is a normal financial struggle in itself. Even if the Bank of Barings is overturned, no one can accuse him. On the contrary, it can greatly enhance his influence and status in the UK. "Elena, after you go back, you will tell George to tell him to short the Bank of Bahrain." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused and added again: "Of course, you also ask your father Sir Carter by the way. If he or Lloyd Bank are interested, you might as well cooperate together, maybe you can buy Baring Bank. Get it." After all, the Bank of Bahrain is the designated cooperative bank of the British royal family. It is okay for Xia Yu to make a short profit, but the variables of the acquisition are too great. If Lloyds Bank or the Howard family intervenes, the probability of success can be Big, the pressure on him is also small. Although this would give up a lot of benefits, Xia Yu didn''t care. If he didn''t cooperate, he wouldn''t be able to get any benefits, and he wouldn''t even have a chance to get a share. "Okay, I will tell my dad immediately when I go back, I think he should be interested, Xia Yu, you don¡¯t know, he told me more than once that you are great, when did you go to London, he would have to talk to others People thank you together. If he knows that you want to cooperate with him to acquire Baring Bank, he will definitely consider it carefully." Elena said with a smile. Xia Yu raised her brows and asked interestedly: "Elena, what is your father thanking me for?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of light in his mind, and he remembered a pit dug for the Rohill family before. Sure enough, Elena''s words immediately verified his conjecture. I just listened to Elena grinning and said: "Didn¡¯t you say that the sovereign debt of Latin American countries is very risky? My father said that after detailed investigation and analysis within Lloyds Bank, the conclusion is that sovereignty has occurred. The probability of a debt crisis exceeded 90%. At the time, everyone was taken aback. After that, it took a lot of effort to transfer these lending businesses. A few days ago, I heard him tell me that Lloyds Bank is now dealing with Latin American countries. 75% of its loan business has been transferred." "If it weren''t for your reminder, when the crisis really broke out, then Lloyds Bank would definitely lose heavily." Xia Yu smiled faintly and asked, "Elena, do you know which banks the sovereign debt business of Lloyds Bank has transferred to?" Elena immediately nodded and said: "Of course, my father listened to your opinion. These sovereign debt businesses have basically been transferred to Barclays Bank. Now Barclays Bank is the largest creditor in Latin America and other countries." Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn''t help but laugh, secretly saying that Duke Carter Howard was strong enough, and he played a godly assist. Many British banks in the previous life have suffered more or less losses on the sovereign debts of Latin American countriesBarclays Bank¡¯s losses are not a few, but Lloyds Bank¡¯s losses are even greater, which almost made Lloyd¡¯s Deutsche Bank fell out of the ranks of the first echelon. But in this life, Barclays Bank took over the sovereign debt business of Lloyds Bank. As soon as the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out, Barclays Bank would never have time to run away, and the Rohill family would be miserable. Thinking of the tragic events that will likely occur in the Rohill family in the future, as well as Jacob Rohill''s distressed look, Xia Yu is secretly refreshed. Duke Carter Howard is so powerful, if he doesn''t express it, it seems something is wrong. But where do you start? "Yes! This is definitely a win-win!" Xia Yu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea. PS: The update is late, I am still at work tonight, depressed () v3 Chapter 853: Its time for Phillip Brothers "Elena, after you go back, ask your father if you are willing to do long copper futures and aluminum futures together, and purchase copper and aluminum spot contracts. With your family''s contacts, you can easily buy major British mining companies. Spot contract." "If your father is not at ease, you can tell him the bottom line. This time I am confident that I will win. I have mobilized more than tens of billions of dollars in funds, and if something unexpected happens, I can get from major banks again within a week. With 10 billion U.S. dollars raised in hand, this money is enough to control 60% to 70% of the global copper futures and aluminum futures market, and it is absolutely impossible to lose!" Xia Yu looked at Elena and said confidently. When it comes to money, he also said very vaguely, leading people to think about the major banks, if Elena conveys it to her father, Duke Carter Howard, who will not only lament Xia Yu¡¯s strength, and improve her In addition to the attention, others can only rely on guesswork. Let''s talk about the rare metal market. Copper and aluminum are no better than gold and silver. Although gold and silver are also used in industry, the amount is not large, mainly as a reserve metal, and annual mining will lead to more and more gold and silver reserves in the world. Therefore, the operation of gold futures and silver futures can take a long time, and the risk is also great. Previously, the American Hunter family manipulated silver futures and once held close to 70% of the spot on the market, or was brandished with silver jewelry. The American women were defeated. In later generations, Aunt China also caused heavy losses to financial giants who short gold futures, which shocked the world. But copper and aluminum can be different! American women and Chinese aunts don¡¯t have to spend money to buy a lot of copper and aluminum and keep them at home. Metallic copper and metallic aluminum are mainly used as industrial raw materials, and they are necessary products in the industry. The consumption is particularly large, and once used, they are rarely recycled and refined for secondary use. Therefore, as long as Xia Yu can buy 50% of the world''s copper and metal aluminum, the threat to the market will be greater than that of the Hunter family''s purchase of nearly 70% of the world''s silver. After all, although the factory hoards a certain amount of raw materials for the sake of stability, the amount of raw materials hoarding will never be large for the purpose of capital turnover. Generally, hoarding for one or two months is good enough. A few giants with strong capital will hoard enough. Raw materials used for more than half a year. As long as Xia Yu covers the spot metal copper and spot metal aluminum and does not sell, copper and aluminum materials will definitely be in short supply on the market. Even if the major mineral companies in the world want to increase their production, they will not even think about expanding their production lines for more than half a year. Solve the short-term needs of the market. At that time, the global price of copper metal and aluminum metal will not rise desperately, and the futures market will be affected by the price soaring. Short positions are counted as one, and all are dead. Of course, the global factories that need to use metal copper and metal aluminum will also be quite uncomfortable. The cost of raw materials has increased, and the cost of industrial products has also risen. In order not to lose money and close down, major factories can only increase the price of industrial products. This will cause the world The chaotic market of some of the industrial products in China has too great an impact on the economy and the consequences are unpredictable. Just like later generations, the original price of apples on the market was about three and five yuan, which was quite stable, but the black-hearted futures merchants jointly fought the apple futures and bought one after another cold storage apples and did not sell them. Although some varieties of apples have matured since July , But the quantity is not large, making the supply of apples in short supply. The supply chain increases prices one after another. Finally, when the price in the hands of consumers has risen to more than ten yuan a catty, futures dealers will sell the spot at a higher price. When Apple is about to go public on a large scale, the last wave of frying is to sell the frozen cold storage apples to major distributors. The futures market also ran away to the receivers. The dealers slept comfortably with money. A large number of apples and cold storage apples are squeezed into the market, which has led to oversupply in the apple market, and prices have plummeted. Apple growers can¡¯t sell them and cry in their arms. Repurchase, the entire industry chain is in chaos. And the impact does not stop there. Autumn is the season when a large number of fruits are on the market, which can be substituted for apples, and because apples are more than a pound of cabbage, consumers abandon the purchase of navel oranges, oranges, persimmons and other fruits to buy apples. , Markets such as navel oranges, tangerines and persimmons were hit again, and the corresponding growers and distributors were also uncomfortable. The income of fruit farmers is reduced, the market is affected, the circulation of money is slowed, and the national taxation is affected. Looking at it this way, in addition to making a lot of money by the bookmakers who manipulate the market to do long, whether they are short or the entire industry chain of the market, they are all unlucky and bear the consequences of the bookmakers who manipulate the market. This is also the reason why the grain merchants and salt merchants who were hoarding in ancient times were beheaded. Until now, hoarding and driving up prices are also illegal acts. But there is no way. Money is the source of evil. Capitalists dare to sell the ropes that hang themselves for money. Manipulating the market can only be regarded as pediatrics. As long as layers are hidden properly and there is no conclusive evidence, who can help capitalists? I have to say that this is a kind of irony, but also a kind of sadness. Now Xia Yu is doing the same, but whether he can keep his heart and use his contribution to society to offset the bad impact is all up to him. Closer to home. As for the shorts, will they also buy the spot of copper and aluminum? If Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers really do this, Xia Yu will definitely applaud and warmly welcome, and the bear is willing to stab himself. Xia Yu has no reason to stop him. Hearing the numbers Xia Yu said, Elena''s eyes were full of shock. For the least, she had seen the Bright Fund manipulated more than several billion U.S. dollars in capital. Suddenly heard that Xia Yu was still sure to mobilize 10 billion or even 20 billion U.S. dollars. I was shocked. At this moment, in her mind, Xia Yu''s original gradually clear image seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, exuding a fatal attraction, attracting her to explore further. The more curious, the deeper the land will eventually be. Looking at Xia Yu, who was smiling, Elena blushed. He took a deep breath and nodded seriously and said: "Xia Yu, don''t worry, I will tell my father when I go back, I will Persuade him." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, Elena, thank you." "This is what I should do, isn''t it?" Elena blinked her beautiful eyes, smiled, and said playfully. "Haha, Elena, did you know that you are so cute at this time?" Xia Yu said with a smile, and she couldn''t help scraping Elena''s Qiong nose with her fingers. The blush suddenly climbed up from Elena''s neck, and a faint blush appeared on Qiao''s face, which added a bit of beauty, which made Xia Yu''s eyes brighten and a little eager to move. Unexpectedly, Elena was a little flustered at this time, and dropped the sentence "I will go back to the room first", and disappeared at the top of the stairs as if to escape. Xia Yu shook his head with a smile, and said to himself: "Am I so scary?" "But it''s still a long time, it''s interesting to take it slowly, not in a hurry, not in a hurry..." ... The next morning, Xia Yu deliberately took a morning and noon time, despite Elena¡¯s several refusals, accompanied Elena to stroll around New York. During the period they went to see the Statue of Liberty on the Hudson Liberty Island, and also went to Broadway Avenue to see the Wall Street copper bull representing New York''s financial industry, and passed by Times Square and Central Park, where they gathered The most luxurious boutique in New York, the Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, known as the "Street of Dreams"... In the afternoon, Xia Yu sent the reluctant Elena to board the plane and waved his hand to watch the Boeing 747 flying to London soar into the blue sky. "Boss, where are we going next?" Seeing Xia Yu retract his eyes, Li Wuming asked. Xia Yu looked at the time on his watch, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and said, "Go to the New York branch of Jiuding Securities!" The Philip Brothers Company is coming so aggressively, many media trumpets about it and derogates to the Galaxy Fund. Before preparing to launch an offensive, this kind of good opportunity is ignored, it is not Xia Yu''s style! v3 Chapter 854: Must be warned "Boss, good afternoon!" Seeing Xia Yu walk into his office, Toby Morton immediately put down his work, got up to greet and greeted with a smile. "Toby, how do you feel?" Xia Yu said with a smile. He glanced around Toby Morton¡¯s office and found that the decoration was very simple and the shelves behind the desk were full of books. When Toby Morton first arrived There have been great changes. "Life is very fulfilling, the company is very dynamic, and very united." Toby Morton knew that the boss Xia Yu was asking him about his feelings and opinions about the company, and he said after some thought. "That''s good, with your abilities, it is not difficult for you to run the company." Xia Yu smiled slightly and praised. Toby Morton smiled humbly. The forty-year-old white man in front of Xia Yu is an elite he personally recruited for the New York branch of Jiuding Securities. The New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has long been established and is already in operation, but it is impossible for Wang Qi to lose the parent company of Xiangjiang and run the branch. Although there are many talents in the company, after Xia Yu''s inspection, he found that he was not suitable to run the New York branch. After all, this is Wall Street, and it is the place with the most elites in the global financial industry. Even if Wang Qi is lost on the strange Wall Street, it is difficult. Get a firm foothold immediately, not to mention the others. The best way is to recruit an old fried dough stick who has been on Wall Street for many years. Not only is he outstanding, he also has a thorough understanding of the various light and dark rules of Wall Street, and there is no shortage of contacts. It is for this purpose that Toby Morton, who was born as a trader from the bottom and worked as a securities broker, was finally selected by Xia Yu. Xia Yu chose him not only because of Toby Morton''s ability and experience, but more importantly, Xia Yu had an impression of him, or he had an impression of later generations. Later, he served as the vice president of Bear Stearns, one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street at the time. After Bear Stearns was acquired, he also became an executive. Maybe Toby Moulton is not as good as Peter Lynch, but it is more than enough to take charge of the New York branch of Jiuding Securities. Considering his potential, Xia Yu is worthy of further training him. After a few chats, Xia Yu did not forget the real purpose of coming. He narrowed his smile and asked Toby Morton, "Toby, has the battle plan for Phillip Brothers been formulated?" Toby Morton heard the words, suppressed the inner commotion, nodded slightly excitedly and said: "Boss, the preliminary plan has been made." After speaking, he returned to his desk, opened the safe inlaid on the wall, and took out the implementation plan he had been thinking about these days and nights. "Boss, please have a look!" "Ok!" Xia Yu lightly accepted the plan and looked at it patiently and carefully. After all, Philip Brothers is a large financial company with a market value of more than four billion U.S. dollars, and this place is Wall Street where giants and predators gather. If there are loopholes in the plan and the opportunity is seized by others, the risk will be great. Xia Yu Treat it carelessly. "Give me a pen." "Ok." Without raising his head, Xia Yu took the pen that Toby Morton handed over, and began to make changes on the plan. Toby Lowton, who was waiting quietly, couldn''t help but think secretly about where he hadn''t considered. . After a long time, Xia Yu turned to the last page. After reading it, he closed the plan again and threw it to Toby Morton, saying: "Toby, your plan is very good, but there are some points. I adjusted it. You make a new copy based on my changes." "Your plan is limited by funding. I now give you a clear reminder. You don''t have to worry about the company''s funds, let alone short-selling. If possible, even if it is now a wholly-owned acquisition of Philip Brothers, it will be fine." "Therefore, you can take a bigger step when shorting. With the exception of Chase Manhattan Bank, Morgan Stanley, Citibank, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs, as long as other institutions are willing to bet against, no matter how many empty orders are accepted." To put it bluntly, to keep Toby Morton away from the giants, so as not to have trouble. Shorting the Philip Brothers Company was originally for additional profit, but not for uniting and enmity with the major wealth. There will inevitably be fights in the future, but it is indeed not suitable to make too many enemies now. "understand!" Toby Morton answered solemnly. "Let''s go, take me to the operating room to see the live." After the order, Xia Yu thought for a while and said again, the plan is dead after all, and the stock price of Philip Brothers has been changing. Soon, Xia Yu and Toby Morton came to the operation room. The operation room was full of busy scenes. Each employee performed his duties. Even if he saw Xia Yu and Toby Morton coming, the most Nodded, and then continued to work. "The real-time stock price is US$27.87 per share, and today¡¯s opening price is US$27.79... the total market value is US$4.173 billion." "Hehe, it seems that many people are very optimistic about Philips Brothers." Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing when he saw the real-time data of Philip Brothers'' stock market. The higher the current share price of Philip Brothers, the happier he is, which means that more institutions will be willing to bet. If financial institutions have no confidence in Phillip Brothers, they dare not take risks to bet against Jiuding Securities. "Toby, the price is still low. The arranger will speculate on the stock price, and it is best for the stock price to reach more than $29." "Before cashing out, you tell me first, I will let the futures side slow down the offensive and cooperate with you in transferring stocks." Xia Yuyao pointed to the information board of Phillip Brothers and told Toby Morton. "Ok." ... Xia Yu stayed in the New York branch of Jiuding Securities for an hour and a half before leaving with a relaxed look, and came to the Galaxy Fund again to guide futures operations. In the US futures market, the bulls headed by Galaxy Funds and the bears headed by Philip Brothers have come and go. However, the British futures market has a tendency to be one-sided. Facing the joint offensive of the Bright Fund and Sumitomo Corporation, the Bank of Barings simply couldn''t stand it, and the differences within the Bank of Barings became more and more obvious. Jacob Rohill was a little dumbfounded. "How did the islanders get involved? Bastards!" Jacob Rosier said with some annoyanceAccording to the situation, the newly emerged Sumitomo Trading Co., just like the chicken blood, is very vicious, and has the momentum to fight the empty head. . "Jacob, we must give Sumitomo Corporation a warning. If we don''t stop it, it will be very troublesome. The Bahrain family now has doubts about our people! I am worried that the Bahrain Bank will back down!" Evelyn Roshir was also annoyed, and said to Jacob Roshir with a serious expression. If Bahrain Bank backed down, then both of their plans fell through. How can this work! They were afraid of showing Xia Yu''s vigilance where they would show their feet, so they did not dare to use the power of the Roshir family, but they didn''t need to be so cautious in the face of islanders.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 855: Short attack The words are divided into two ends. Just when Jacob Rohill and Evelyn Rohill were discussing how to teach Sumitomo Corporation. Elena also returned to her home in Norfolk, where she accompanied her family to enjoy a sumptuous dinner. "Oh my god, sister, you went to New York to find Xia Yu, did you see my master?" Hearing his sister talking about what he saw in New York, little Henry, who was immersed in the steak, immediately raised his head and asked loudly. Elena smiled softly and said: "Yes, your master is Xia Yu''s bodyguard. Xia Yu is there, and of course he is also there." Henry suddenly showed pain on his face and said to his sister Elena heartbroken: "Sister, why don''t you take me? I haven''t seen my master for a long time. I want him to see my progress. He has a A gifted student." Henry was taken aback. Elena thought it was something important, but she was boasting. Elena rolled her eyes and said silently: "Henry, when did you become so self-conscious? In love?" Henry blinked his eyes, looked at his sister very seriously, and asked: "Sister, I''m telling the truth. I''ll tell you, now I''m the boss in the class. No one dares to fight with me, just because of me. The kung fu is already great, last time..." Seeing that Henry seemed to be getting more excited as he talked, Elena hurriedly stopped him: "Well, the best Henry, before talking about this, do you want to eat the steak on your plate first?" ¡Ño¡Ñ)..." "Well, you don''t seem to want to hear about Henry''s brilliant deeds in defeating evil forces. When I see my master next time, I will tell him." Henry shrugged boringly, and then lowered his head again, holding a knife and fork and looking at the steak on the plate with bitter feud, with a solemn expression, it seems that the steak is also the evil force in his mouth. Elena stroked her forehead silently, looking at her father who was upright. I saw Duke Carter Howard smiling and he seemed to be happy to watch his brother and sister quarrel. "I''m full, Dad, I''ll go to the garden to accompany Dora." After Henry finished eating the steak, he wiped his mouth with a tissue, and ran away after throwing a word. The Dora in his mouth was a golden retriever raised at home, very clingy, and a good friend of Henry. "be careful!" Duke Carter Howard urged. "Okay, I know!" Henry said without looking back, then disappeared at the door. "Since Henry learned Kung Fu, he has become more cheerful and confident." Duke Carter Howard said to his daughter Elena with some emotion. Elena smiled and replied, "Yes!" "Elena, depending on the situation, the Bright Fund has made a lot of action during this period. I hope you will also pay attention to rest when you are busy with work. No matter what, your body is the most important thing." Duke Carter Howard has finished eating too. After putting down his knife and fork and wiping his mouth gently, he said to Elena with concern. The financial industry is not as easy as outsiders think. Although there are commuting hours, but many times, after get off work, it is also necessary to communicate with work and projects. It is difficult to distinguish life and work. Especially when a financial company is making a big plan, working overtime is normal. What''s more, Elena is in an important position. Now it can be seen from public opinion and the capital market that the Bright Fund makes big moves. Elena can hardly be relaxed. Duke Carter Howard doesn''t want his daughter to be so tired. "Dad, I am not thunderous. Manager George rarely arranges work for me. In the entire company, I am probably the most free." Elena said with a chuckle, which made Duke Carter Howard feel relieved. At this moment, Elena talked about the business she had done when she came back. "Dad, I went to New York this time. Xia Yu told me that he has an idea for cooperation and wants to cooperate with you or Lloyds Bank." Duke Carter Howard stared, "Let''s go to the sofa and talk." After speaking, the father and daughter came to the sofa, and the waiter who had been waiting immediately ordered the servant to clean the table. "Does he have any ideas for cooperation?" Duke Carter Howard asked with interest. Except for several free aids to Xia Yu, other cooperations with Xia Yu have made great profits. What''s more important is that it is easy to cooperate with Xia Yu, and there is no need to worry about Xia Yu''s problems. For this kind of cooperation, Duke Carter Howard said he could have another dozen. Seeing her father''s interest, Elena smiled slightly and told her what Xia Yu asked her to tell when she was in New York. "..." "He really said that? Has mobilized tens of billions of dollars of funds? And he is sure to raise another 10 billion dollars of funds within a week?" "Elena, do you think what Xia Yu said is true?" After listening, Carter Howard asked his daughter in shock. When did Xia Yu have this ability? Even with the accumulation of his Howard family for hundreds of years, it is impossible to do this. Xia Yu actually said that he can do it. Duke Carter Howard has a dreamy feeling, which is incredible. But Elena was convinced by Xia Yu¡¯s words, looked at her father¡¯s eyes calmly, nodded and said, ¡°Dad, I don¡¯t think Xia Yu can tell lies, and he is indeed doing this. Before home, I went to the company and conveyed Xia Yu''s order to Manager George. Maybe tomorrow, the staff of Bright Fund will go to major mining companies in Europe." "Dad, I don¡¯t know what the situation of Xia Yu¡¯s company outside of the UK is, but it is the Bright Fund that I work for. I think the entire UK has underestimated its strength, but I can¡¯t tell you what the situation is. I am now an employee of the company and I have to keep the company secret." Duke Carter Howard laughed dumbly, but he supported his daughter''s attitude of keeping the company secret, and praised: "You are doing the right thing. You don''t need to tell me the true situation of the Bright Fund." After speaking, he said with interest: "I have also paid attention to the futures market. The Bank of Barings is now very embarrassed. It is in stark contrast to the fierce offensive at the beginning. I guess Barrett Bahrain is going to talk now. I lost my beard." Barit Bahrain is now the patriarch of the Bahrain family. "Dad, haven''t you said your decision yet? Should our family cooperate with Xia Yu? Or let Lloyds Bank cooperate? Or give up?" Elena asked again that her father''s attitude was very important, and it was related to whether the strategy of the Bright Fund was adjusted. In her heart, Elena hoped her father would agree, after all, it was beneficial to Xia Yu and the family. Duke Carter Howard narrowed his smile and said slowly, "Elena, you have some strawberries first, and let Dad think about it." After thinking for a long time, Duke Carter Howard finally made up his mind to cooperate with Xia Yu in the name of the Howard family. Not only will it be long copper futures and aluminum futures, but also short Bank of Barings, and look for opportunities to acquire Bank of Barings. Although the Bahrain family is also a British aristocratic family, and it is not a weak aristocrat, it is not an ally of the Howard family. Both families have existed for more than two hundred years. Over time, there will always be friction. There is also a lot of competition between the Bank of Bahrain and Lloyds Bank. The aristocratic alliance behind Lloyds Bank is also a royalist, but the Bahrain family relied on the relationship established with King George V and monopolized the cooperation with the royal family, which frustrated the development of Lloyds Bank. The Howard family was the leader of Lloyd Bank. One of the shareholders was naturally also affected. Now the Bank of Bahrain is doing its own thing. Even if the Howard family comes forward to sell short and buy, it is in line with normal business rules, and other families will not blame it. Of course, Duke Carter Howard finally made up his mind, or he also coveted the Bank of Bahrain. Although the Howard family is the major shareholder of Lloyds Bank, it is only one of the shareholders. If he wants to spend money, he also has a lot of constraints and has to follow the rules. It is undoubtedly great if the Howard family can have a bank with a deeper influence. "Elena, dad agreed to this cooperation." "Dad, you made the right decision." "I hope so, haha..." ... Early the next morning, Elena set off to return to London, and Duke Carter Howard also took action. Now that he has decided to cooperate, he will do his best. He will not only short the Bank of Bahrain, but also long copper and aluminum futures, and acquire the spot of mining companies to be a strong ally. When Xia Yu received the Annunciation call from Elena, he was in a good mood. In the U.K., there are themselves, Sumitomo Corporation, and the Howard family. It is difficult for the Bank of Bahrain to come back, even if other families intervene, it will not help. But just when Xia Yu felt relieved, one of his ally Sumitomo Corporation was in trouble. Sumitomo Corporation London branch, metal trading department, nickel trading team office. "Manager, UU reading is not good, there is a big short position, 10,000 hand empty orders! The position is 7,500 US dollars a ton!" Suddenly, a trader exclaimed. On the London Metal Exchange, one lot of nickel futures is six tons. The 10,000-handed empty order that suddenly appeared was 60,000 tons. And more importantly, the price of nickel futures is US$8,925 per ton, but the short position has opened a position at US$7,500 a ton. The gap is too amazing. You can see the determination of the short. Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. is a long position in London''s LME nickel futures. If the price is really suppressed to US$7,500 per meal, with the margin provided by Sumitomo Trading Co., it will definitely be blown up and lose heavily!

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 856: Sumitomo Corporation panicked While the trader was talking, with the system''s automatic trading, the funds in the Sumitomo Corporation''s account flowed away like water and replaced it with one-hand LME nickel futures contract. With the development of technology and the application of computer systems, automated trading was possible in the United States in 1975, of course, in the stock market at first. But after more than five years of development and dissemination, automated trading is no longer confined to the United States or the stock market. The London Metal Exchange has also been transformed. "Manager, our spare funds are exhausted and our warehouse is full!" In the blink of an eye, the funds in the Sumitomo Trading Company''s account were exhausted, and the position was directly filled. The trader once again shouted to the manager Yoshida Hyuga who hurriedly approached. He seemed a little worried, and his voice trembled. The LME nickel futures trading team of Sumitomo Corporation is very determined to go long and is confident in its own strength. Therefore, the account has not set the upper limit of the acquisition stop, so the acquisition has not been until the funds have been consumed. But who knows, the more than 100 million U.S. dollars remaining in the account was emptied all at once. This is not surprising. The total value of 10,000 LME nickel futures contracts is more than US$500 million. In addition to the 2,400 lots traded at the purchase price of Sumitomo Corporation, other small long accounts have also been filled. But even so, there are still large short orders waiting for automatic trading after long positions are opened. It''s just that such a large short order suddenly appeared. Without knowing the situation, no bulls dared to take the initiative, making the price of LME nickel futures stagnant at $8,925 per ton. But according to normal circumstances, if the bulls do not hurriedly sell, then today''s LME nickel futures price avalanche is inevitable. At this time, Yoshida Hyuga, the head of the LME nickel futures team, walked over in three steps and two steps. After seeing the string of numbers, his head buzzed. Fortunately, he had seen strong winds and waves, and he shook his head abruptly to wake himself up, but he felt very heavy. "Manager, what should I do? Stop loss and exit or continue to increase positions?" The trader asked nervously, saying that, he had no confidence. He knows very well that the one-time limit of manager Yoshida Hyuga¡¯s spare risk account is 100 million U.S. dollars, but even if the 100 million U.S. dollars applied for are invested, it still cannot fill the short hole. If it fails, the loss will be even greater. If you stop the loss and exit now, not only will you lose the previous floating profit, but you will also lose at least 30 million US dollars! Yoshida Hyuga''s complexion kept changing, watching the price fluctuate, his heart gradually sinking. However, he is not lacking in bloodliness, and his face is ruthless, and he directly orders: "Activate the backup account, with a limit of 20 million US dollars, first cover up the position and stabilize the price! Delay as much as possible!" The trader was relieved, and immediately began to switch accounts. And Yoshida Hinata also knew that the 20 million dollars was just buying time. He didn''t waste it, and immediately ordered someone to invite his immediate boss, Shuren Yanagawa, the head of the trading department of Sumitomo Corporation. hundreds of millions of dollars of funds are involved at one time, and only Liu Chuanshu has the authority. The trader is so experienced that he did not buy it all at once, but bought it at a price of US$8,925 per ton. Although the price of LME nickel futures fluctuated violently, it was still reluctantly held back. It''s just that the finance on the account is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, some long scattered buy orders suddenly jumped out, as many as a dozen hands, and as few as a few hands. The number was not large, but it scared both the trader and Yoshida Hyuga. Because of these long buy orders, the price is not US$8,925 per ton, but prices such as US$8914 per ton, US$8,902 per ton, and US$8905 per ton. The manipulators behind these bills are entirely pig teammates! The price of US$8,925 per ton that they managed to maintain seemed high instantly, and the price of LME nickel futures finally fell. 8,923 US dollars a ton. 8921 US dollars a ton. 8,917 dollars a ton. ¡­¡­ Seeing the price start to fall, Yoshida Hyuga''s face instantly turned into pig liver-colored, and he couldn''t help yelling: "Baga, a bunch of stupid pigs!" In addition to the 2,400 lots of LME nickel futures they just bought, they now hold 6,840 lots of LME nickel futures. At the price of US$8,925 a ton, the total value of the LME nickel futures contract held reached US$366.3 million. But as long as a ton drops by one dollar, their account will shrink by 41,000 dollars. But looking at it now, it fell by ten dollars in a short while, which means that the account has shrunk by four hundred and one thousand dollars! However, the London Metal Exchange does not implement a price limit system. God knows how far the price of LME nickel futures will fall if it is not restored! "Manager, ten million dollars have been consumed!" The trader''s voice sounded again, making Yoshida Hyuga''s face even more ugly. Fortunately, at this moment, a series of rapid footsteps sounded from behind, Yoshida Hiroshi immediately looked back, and when he saw the people coming, he seemed to see the savior, and he felt relieved. He immediately greeted him and said, "Minister, you are finally here. Something has happened. The short position opened a position of US$7,500 a ton. Now the price of LME nickel futures has fallen." He glanced at the trading board, his face was a bit ugly, but he bit his head and said, "It has fallen below $8,900 a ton!" This means that there are six or seven hundred thousand dollars left! Yanagawa Shuren ignored Yoshida Hinata, immediately came to the back of the trader, looked at the string of numbers with scrutiny eyes, and quickly understood his current situation, his face became serious. "Minister, I have activated a risk account to support the price, but it is all these pigs, otherwise the price will not fall so fast!" Seeing the ugly face of the Minister, Yoshida Hiroshi explained immediately that he wanted to bring back a little face for himself. "These paying orders are not made by bulls, but bears are behind them!" Yanagawa Shuren looked at it scorchingly, and said in a deep voice. "The bears don''t want to consume us at all, they want to crush us all at once!" Yoshida Hinata took a deep breath and asked, "Minister, what should we do? The gap is too big!" There is still a gap of 400 million U.S. dollars. Even if it is a 10% deposit, it will cost 40 million U.S. dollars. Yanagawa Shuren immediately shook his head and said: "Most of our funds are now allocated to the copper futures and aluminum futures trading team!" His meaning is very obvious, he can''t spend so much money to fight the short-headed fight! Although Sumitomo Corporation''s strength is not incapable of spending the money, the accounts of the two trading departments of copper futures and aluminum futures still have a total of one billion US dollars. But he can''t move the money, because long copper futures and aluminum futures are orders from Tokyo''s president Keigo Sumitomo, he dare not go against it! If the plan fails due to unauthorized actions, then he is absolutely to blame, and it is very likely that he will be beaten to the end. He dare not take such a big risk. At this moment, a series of scattered and rapid footsteps came from outside the door, and then a figure ran over. This person he knew was an employee of the LME zinc futures trading team. Liu Chuanshu''s heart couldn''t help but sink. There was a bad feeling in a moment. When the visitor saw Liu Chuan Shuren, he immediately shouted: "Minister, there is a problem. There is a big short position. We opened a position with a low price of 10,000 lots. We directly filled the position. The price is already falling. It is very likely that we will wear it. !" The meaning of shorting a position is to liquidate a position. One of the terminology in futures refers to the risk condition that the customer¡¯s equity on the customer¡¯s account is negative, that is, the customer not only loses all the margin on the account before opening the position, but also owes the futures company money. Of course, Sumitomo Corporation itself is a futures company, but for the London Metal Exchange, it is also a customer. The account opened by Sumitomo Corporation on the London Metal Exchange also paid a margin. When the margin is insufficient, the London Metal Exchange will remind Sumitomo Corporation that Sumitomo Corporation has 24 hours to make up the margin. If the margin is not topped up within 24 hours, the London Metal Exchange will force Sumitomo Corporation¡¯s losses All accounts are forcibly closed, and the excess part of the loss other than the principal is lost, and Sumitomo Corporation must also make up for it. Of course, it¡¯s okay not to make up the payment. The consequences can be serious. The London Metal Exchange will close the door to Sumitomo Corporation. Even if Sumitomo Corporation reopens an account, it will be confiscated and used to make up for the loss. Go to the court after arbitration and recovery by the court. Anyway, I can¡¯t escape! "That''s not good, Minister, there is a big short position in LME lead futures, and we opened a position of 10,000 lots at a low price. We directly filled the position, and the price dropped by more than 5% in an instant!" Yana Chuan Shuren had not had time to ask the employee who reported the situation with LME Zinc Futures, and then another figure appeared, and the words of the return made everyone''s face changed greatly. At this time, Yanagawa Shuren knew that his company had been targeted no matter how stupid it was. And the secret enemy''s attack is very brutal, it is completely fatal in one blow, and it does not give them any room for counterattack. According to the current situation, even if he puts out a billion dollars, it will be swallowed by splashing it in. At this time, if you hesitate too much, you will die miserably! Yanagawa Shuren was heartbroken, first instructed Yoshida Hinata: "Stop loss and exit, hurry, find a way to find someone to take the order." After finishing speaking, he walked quickly toward the door, he was going to the next few departments to give orders to withdraw, so as not to be dragged down the abyss. There are many types of metal futures on the London Metal Exchange, including gold, silver, copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, etc. Sumitomo Corporation invests in each metal futures, and the difference lies in the number. Now there are problems with zinc, lead, and nickel. If there are problems with other metal futures, it would be terrible news! :. : v3 Chapter 857: Jump out of a Jewish royal family Latest URL: "Stop Loss Exit!" "Stop loss exit!" Liu Chuan Shuren went to the operation room of LME zinc futures and LME lead futures. After quickly understanding the situation, he immediately ordered the liquidation and withdrawal. No way, he won''t work if he doesn''t retreat, and now he can quit early and lose a little! The determination of the empty head is really too great, and the financial resources shown are too great, so big that Liuchuan Shuren has no confidence to fight on multiple battlefields at the same time without losing the first hand. This is one of the disadvantages of diversified investment. If the strength is not concentrated, it is easy to be defeated by people finding opportunities. Now Liuchuan Shuren''s plan is to stop loss and shrink strength, reduce losses, and increase risk resistance. At critical moments, huge liquidity is the best protection. Fortunately, except for LME nickel futures, LME zinc futures, and LME lead futures, no abnormality has been found in other investment futures. This is a blessing in the misfortune. After a lap of orders, he returned to the operation room of the LME nickel futures trading team. There is no way, after swallowing 2,400 lots of LME nickel futures contracts in an instant, Sumitomo Corporation''s investment has exceeded 360 million U.S. dollars, which can be said to be the heaviest futures except for LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. . Because of the large amount of open interest, it is also the most difficult to liquidate and stop loss, and the risk is the greatest! In addition, the market for LME nickel futures is smaller than that of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, which magnifies the risk a bit! When Liu Chuan Shuren returned to the operating room of the LME nickel futures trading team, the price of LME nickel futures had fallen to $8,881 a ton. It has shrunk by more than $1.7 million. Of course, the shrinkage has long been expected, the Yana Chuan Shuren is not concerned about this at all, but whether there is an organization to take over. Seeing a group of traders operating quickly, he asked Yoshida Hyuga, who had been staring at him, "How many hands were sold?" Yoshida Hyuga was embarrassed and bit the bullet and reported: "Minister, there is no transaction yet, and there are no longs willing to take over." Yana Chuan Shuren breathed, suppressing the rising effort in his heart, and asked again: "What is the selling price?" Yoshida Hyuga immediately replied: "As the price is falling, our selling price has been adjusting. Now the latest adjusted selling price is 8880 US dollars a ton." The real-time quotation of LME nickel futures has fallen to US$8,881 per ton, while the selling price of Sumitomo Corporation is only US$1 lower. Obviously Yoshida Hyuga is still holding a fluke and trying to minimize losses. But in this case, it is definitely two fools who will take over. LME nickel futures clearly show a clear downward trend in prices, and there are big shorts on the sidelines to deter, without leaving enough profit margins and room for maneuver, where there will be institutions entering the market Take it? It''s only 1 dollar lower. Maybe the price fell below 8880 US dollars a ton just after the delivery was completed. If you buy it, you will lose money. Why is the buyer not a second fool? According to this trend, selling for a few months will not necessarily be able to sell, but will be slowly bleeding, until step by step is dragged into the vortex of irresponsibility. Shuren Yanagawa glared at Yoshida Hyuga, enduring heartache and directly issued an order: "Re-adjust the price, and a 500-lot sell order for $8,600 per ton!" "Hi!" Soon, a 500-lot sell order was placed at a price of $8,600 per ton. It is estimated that the selling orders of other institutions are still struggling at the price of 8,870 US dollars a ton. Sumitomo Corporation¡¯s LME nickel futures contract has the lowest selling price! If there is an institution to do more at this time, then there is no doubt that it will definitely buy the LME nickel futures contract of Sumitomo Corporation, because buying one lot of LME nickel futures of Sumitomo Corporation will save more than one thousand six hundred dollars compared to buying other sellers. If you eat all the five hundred hands, you will save 810,000 U.S. dollars, which is a lot of money. But unfortunately, just as Yanagawa Shuren, Yoshida Hyuga and others were looking forward to it, the 500-lot LME futures contract sell order was placed there. One second! Two seconds! Half a minute! One minute! Frozen is that even one contract has not been reduced! Yanagawa Shuren''s expression gradually stiffened, his fists clenched unconsciously. Of course, the futures market has always been a dynamic market and will not stop because of anyone. The LME nickel futures contract listed by Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. remained silent, but other contracts began to jump wildly. Those selling orders that were originally at $8,870 a ton were made by long players with insufficient confidence outside of Sumitomo Corporation. Sumitomo Corporation¡¯s actions frightened them, especially when they saw that Sumitomo Corporation¡¯s LME nickel futures contract could not be sold at such a low price. They all woke up like a dream and immediately followed the Sumitomo Corporation, and even adjusted the price to US$8,860. Price below tons. Even the price of LME nickel futures has fallen sharply. The gambling behavior of Yanagawa Shuren has had a counterproductive effect! Yoshida Hyuga closed his eyes in despair. There is no doubt that the price of the LME nickel futures contract has fallen below US$8,600, and the LME nickel futures contract held by Sumitomo Corporation will shrink by at least US$13.3 million! Time passed slowly, and for Liuchuan Shuren and others, every second was like a year. Despite their fancy struggles, there are still no buyers to take orders. Only a group of selling prices are constantly trying to lower the price, trying to take the lead in trading and escape when the price drops to the psychological price of some institutions. The capital market is a mixed bag. The energy of each institution is different, and everyone has a different idea. Therefore, it is difficult to say when an institution will act. When the price drops to a certain level, an institution will definitely take over the order, depending on what price has reached the bottom price that an institution thinks. At this moment, the employee who was investigating the situation finally returned, anxiously reporting to Liuchuan Shurenhui: "Minister, it is clear that the big short is G¡¤S¡¤Huabao!" Liu Chuan Shuren''s eyes widened, his complexion became extremely solemn, and he hurriedly asked: "Are you sure?" The employee immediately nodded: "These accounts have no hidden information. I asked many colleagues. These accounts belong to G¡¤S¡¤Huabao." Liu Chuan Shuren immediately cursed: "Baga, it turned out to be a **** Jew, how could they target us like this?" It is normal for Liu Chuan Shuren to be so upset, it is because the energy of G¡¤S¡¤Huabao Company is too great. If there is any Jewish family in this world that can rival the Roshir family, it is undoubtedly the Warburg family. Although the Warburg family was once supported by the Rohir family, it has surpassed step by step. Known as the Jewish royal family. Paul Warburg was once the most influential private bank leader in Germany and the chief planner of the Federal Reserve. When the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was established, the total equity was only 20,053 shares, and the Warburg family held 21,000 shares. Owning more than 10% of the shares, it is the second largest shareholder of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, second only to the National City Bank of New York, which is controlled by Rockefeller and Kuhn Repo, which holds 30,000 shares. At that time, the Hanover Bank controlled by the Lowhill family held less than half of the shares of the State Commercial Bank of New York controlled by the Warburg family, with only 10,200 shares, which is more than 5 percent. It was such a powerful Jewish family, but because the main force was in Germany, it was strangled by the moustache, and the loss was much more serious than that of the Rohill family. Most of the core members did not escape only The current family, Sigmund Warburg, fled to the United Kingdom, was sheltered by the Rohill family, and rebuilt the family. The G¡¤S¡¤Warburg Company is the core asset of the Warburg family. Although a few years later, after the death of Sidmund Warburg, the Warburg family had no heroes to take over. Helplessly, GS Warburg declined step by step, and finally the outstanding investment banking business was acquired by Swiss Bank. UBS Huabao has become one of the three pillars of the Swiss Bank Group. But at this time, Sidmund Warburg, the master of the revival, is still alive, and GS Warburg''s power in the UK is amazing. With the strength of Sumitomo Corporation, it is really true. Can''t hold it! What''s more, Sumitomo Trading Co. is still a foreign company. G¡¤S¡¤Huabao still has a local advantage. Now G¡¤S¡¤Huabao has made it clear that it wants to force them! "Minister, if the news that the big short is G¡¤S¡¤Huabao Company spreads throughout the exchange, then the difficulty of our clearance and escape will be greatly increased, and our loss..." Yoshida Hyuga said anxiously and nervously. v3 Chapter 858: Cut meat Latest website: Yanagawa Shuren also considered this point, so his face became more ugly. His heart kept sinking. Since G¡¤S¡¤Huabao is short-selling, and it is still blatantly targeting their Sumitomo Trading Company, then with the greedy face of the Jews, it will never let go of it without biting a few big mouths. It is more difficult for the funds to escape than expected! But this further strengthened Liu Chuan Shuren''s determination to liquidate and stop losses. "Yoshida, it seems impractical to sell and escape. You can delay it slowly. I will talk about the loss later." Yanagawa Shuren sighed and ordered. Yoshida Hiuga secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly nodded his promise. It was a blessing in misfortune that the boss in front of him did not vent his anger. Later, Liu Chuan Shuren went to each team to check the situation, and after instructing some things, he reported to the general manager of the London branch. Such a big event also involved G¡¤S¡¤Huabao, which shocked the general manager of the London branch of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd., and then immediately convened a high-level meeting. After some discussions, the entire company became vigilant. . ... "G¡¤S¡¤Huabao targets Sumitomo Corporation?" "And in the lead, nickel, zinc and other three markets are crazy short?" Bright Fund, George Berkeley, who is following up on LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, was a little surprised when he heard the report from his subordinates, and then frowned, feeling something wrong. Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. is now an ally of their Bright Fund, and they are jointly doing long LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. He also went to the London branch of Sumitomo Trading Co. to discuss the steps of cooperation with the general manager of Sumitomo Trading Co. Sumitomo Trading Co. has encountered this trouble, which will definitely affect the cooperation with their Guangming Fund. "Continue to pay close attention and investigate the specific reasons. If there is any action by the two parties, immediately report to me." After George Berkeley gave orders to his subordinates, he immediately followed up the LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures more carefully. Now it is enough to have a Bahrain Bank, and currently their Bright Fund has gained an advantage. If G¡¤S¡¤Huabao joins the shorts, or other financial institutions with huge energy join the shorts camp and launches a surprise attack, it will be a toss. ... The fighting on the London Metal Exchange has attracted the attention of many financial institutions and the crowd. Especially when more and more short and long information is exposed, more people are interested. Of course, many financial institutions are waiting to see if they can find an opportunity to make a fortune. In the eyes of everyone, the short-term momentum led by G¡¤S¡¤Huabao was like a rainbow, and the prices of the three major metal futures plummeted. By the time the market closed in the morning, the price of LME nickel futures had fallen to US$8,472 per ton, a drop of more than 5% in the morning, which is definitely a huge number. When the market was closed at noon, a message came from the London Metal Exchange. The spot contract inventory corresponding to LME nickel futures increased by 2,142 tons to 85,746 tons. Increase in inventory, bad news! Sure enough, after the market opened again in the afternoon, the price of LME nickel futures plunged directly from the morning closing price of US$8,472 per ton to US$8,435 per ton. The opening quotations all dived, and the price of LME nickel futures will continue to fall. Sure enough, when the market was closed in the afternoon, the closing price of LME nickel futures fell to 8267 US dollars a ton. Compared with the price of $8,925 per ton this morning, the drop today is as high as 37% from the starting point. Sumitomo Corporation''s assets on LME nickel futures have shrunk by 27 million US dollars. Coupled with the losses of LME lead futures and LME zinc futures, the metal trading department of Sumitomo Corporation shrank by 42 million dollars in one day today. As an ally, George Berkeley will certainly play his role. It is not good to take the initiative to participate and help publicize the head office, right? Therefore, that evening and the next morning, many financial media under the Bright Fund have fairly and objectively analyzed the true intentions of G¡¤S¡¤Huabao Company¡¯s short selling, and also pointed out the price drop of LME nickel futures, LME zinc futures and LME lead futures. It is irrational, and the value will rise once the limelight passes. Part of financial institutions and retail investors returned to rationality. In addition, the prices of LME nickel futures, LME zinc futures, and LME lead futures have fallen to a certain level. Some speculators believe that it is profitable and start a small amount of tentative buying. The futures contracts of Sumitomo Corporation have finally begun to sell, although they are sold There are not many, but somehow I see hope. Liuchuan Shuren can only hope that there will be more takers, otherwise the three metal futures have invested nearly 600 million US dollars in total. Even if the investment assets have shrunk, it is still a huge number. Not every institution has the ability to take over! When the value of the invested futures contract has shrunk by more than 10%, the London Metal Exchange immediately issued a warning to Sumitomo Trading Co., requiring Sumitomo Trading Co. to replenish the margin in time, otherwise the short position will be forced to close the position at the lowest price and the loss will still be borne. ... "Huh, Jacob, you turned out to be here, where''s Evelyn?" At G¡¤S¡¤Warburg, Sidmund Warburg, who received reports from his subordinates, came out quickly, and happened to ran into Jacob Lowhill and his bodyguards, Sidmonger, who was led by employees. Warburg asked in surprise. These days, it was Evelyn Roshir who came forward to discuss with him. I didn''t expect that the real leader of the Roshir family would come today. Jacob Rohill smiled and said, "Evelyn has some things to deal with, so I''m here. I haven''t been to your company for a long time. Welcome?" Sidmund Warburg laughed and said, "Of course welcome, please come in." Soon, the two were seated one after another, while Jacob Rohill''s bodyguard was waiting outside. "Jacob, the last time you came to my office, was it three years ago?" Sidmund Warburg took a sip of English black tea, a trace of memory flashed in his eyes, and said with emotion. Jacob Rohill was taken aback, smiled and shook his head and said: "I don''t remember very clearly. Although you are older than me, you have better memories than me. You should be." Sidmund Warburg shook his head loudly and laughed: "Stop this, are you here today to care about metal futures?" "From the moment we started victory has been doomed, you don''t need to take another trip." In order not to expose himself, Jacob Lowhill did not use the Rohill family company to make a move. Instead, he found Sidmund Warburg, and at the cost of generous share fees, G¡¤S ¡¤ Huabao Company came forward to sell short. "Sidmond, I''m just idle and bored, come out to relax, and come to find out about the situation by the way." Jacob Rohill said with a smile. Sidmund Warburg shrugged helplessly and stopped arguing. Instead, he talked about another topic: "Jacob, Sumitomo Corporation''s metal trading department has the most funds in LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. Don''t you want to do it?" Jacob Rohill shook his head and smiled: "Forget it for the time being, LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures are too risky, and the bulls are not small and there are certain risks." "It''s better to cut more meat from Sumitomo Trading Co., and try to let them keep more money." () v3 Chapter 859: Warnings received by Sumitomo Corporation Latest URL: Sidmund Warburg smiled, and did not believe what Jacob Lowhill said. Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and it''s boring to talk about Liao Zhai. He knew very well the nature of Jacob Rosill. Under his kind appearance, there were faces that were more greedy than him. If you have absolute certainty, Jacob Rohill would definitely have done it a long time ago, and now it''s abnormal to even set aside interest for the islanders to come forward. However, anyway, the funds for shorting are provided by the Rohill family, and GS Huabao will not have any risk. He can take the money and take care of it. It would be great if the truth can be discovered later. "Sidmonger, I think the current pressure is still a bit small, you need to use more skills to strive for more profits, and efficiency is also very important." Jacob Rohill made a personal suggestion. When he came, he also paid special attention to the situation of the entire market. The situation of the Bank of Barings was not good and could not withstand the bull''s offensive. According to the news that came back, Barritt Barings had expressed dissatisfaction, but because he had fallen into it, now Still struggling. Jacob Rohill can only start from the Sumitomo Corporation, forcing him to withdraw from the bulls camp, temporarily reducing pressure for the Bank of Bahrain, and making a fortune. Therefore, in the three types of futures including LME nickel futures, the greater the loss of Sumitomo Corporation, the better for him. Sidmund Warburg raised his brow and glanced at Jacob Lowhill, then smiled and nodded: "No problem, I will leave an unforgettable memory for the islanders." "Are you going to have a look?" "of course¡­¡­" ... Under the personal control of the two world''s top financial tycoons, the price of LME nickel futures and other three futures fell at an accelerated rate again, and Sumitomo Corporation was caught off guard. Liuchuan Shuren can only respond passively, but he is constantly struggling, and does not want G¡¤S¡¤Huabao to play the rhythm, lest other institutions dare not enter the market easily after the general trend is formed. However, the initiative has been lost, and the capital is not as good as people, it is too difficult to struggle. At the close of the next morning, the price of LME nickel futures had fallen to US$7,745/ton, which was closer to G¡¤S¡¤Huabao¡¯s original opening line of US$7,500/ton. However, G¡¤S¡¤Huabao has built too many positions and has been disrupting the situation. Although some institutions have entered the market to purchase LME futures contracts, many of them have been taken over by G¡¤S¡¤Huabao, causing Sumitomo Corporation to flee. Not only that, around 10:30 in the morning, G¡¤S¡¤Huabao seemed to be still not satisfied with this profit, and again adjusted its position significantly, from $7,500/ton to $6,500/ton. When the market was closed at noon, Liuchuan Shuren convened a meeting with the managers of the various trading teams of the department to report on the situation of their respective teams. After reporting in a circle, the atmosphere in the meeting room became very heavy. LME aluminum futures and LME copper futures are okay, and there are currently floating profits. But the three teams of LME nickel futures, LME zinc futures, and LME lead futures are not optimistic. Among them, the largest floating loss is the LME nickel futures team, with a floating loss of up to 48.7 million US dollars. Followed by the LME zinc futures team, the floating loss was 29.2 million US dollars. The least thing LME lead futures team, floating losses of 21.3 million US dollars. The three teams have a combined floating loss of 99.2 million US dollars! The floating loss is about to break 100 million! And if nothing goes wrong, as soon as the market opens in the afternoon, the prices of the three futures are estimated to plunge again, and the floating loss will be able to exceed 100 million in an instant! According to this estimation, the three futures want to be all cleared and exited, plus the combined costs of leverage costs and transaction fees drawn by the London Metal Exchange, the loss is likely to exceed 200 million US dollars! Moreover, the loss of money is not the most important thing. More importantly, the subsequent impact of Sumitomo Corporation''s failure will be great. There will definitely be investors withdrawing funds, and the power that Sumitomo Corporation has worked hard in the past ten years will be severely damaged. "Tuk tu tu..." At this moment, a rapid knock on the door rang, breaking the silence in the office. Liu Chuan Shuren frowned and looked at the LME copper futures trading team manager Gao Shan Chunping, who knew it, and got up to open the door. After opening the door, Yanagawa Shuren discovered that the knocker turned out to be Daichi Nigawa, assistant to the president of Sumitomo Corporation''s London branch. Dazhi Erchuan said hello to Junping Gao first, and then went straight to Shuren Yanagawa, lowered his head and said a few words in his ear, Shuren Yanagawa''s expression changed, and after leaving the sentence "The meeting is suspended", he left with Dazhi Erchuan and stayed. The crowd staring at each other below. Soon, Shuren Yanagawa came to the office of Taro Maekawa, the president of the branch. "President, what do you want to tell me?" Yanagawa Shuren stood straight and asked with his head down. Taro Maekawa is a man with a national character face nearly fifty years old. At this time, his face is ugly, and he asks in a deep voice, "How is the profit and loss situation of the metal trading department?" Liu Chuan Shuren immediately said the data just reported by each subordinate. Taro Maekawa frowned when he heard that the three sectors, including LME Nickel Futures, were losing over US$100 million. Just when Yanagawa Shuren thought he was going to endure the anger of the president, he heard Maekawa Taro yell "Ba Ga", and then said to him: "A phone call came to me just now." Yanagawa Shuren raised his head and looked at Masayuki Kawataro suspiciously. He only heard the latter continue to say: "It''s an unfamiliar phone, speaking like a middle-aged man. After he confirmed my identity, he left me a sentence. caveat!" When he raised the warning, Maekawa Taro thought of the tone of the caller just now, and a look of anger flashed in his eyes. "He told me that now LME nickel futures, LME lead futures, and LME zinc futures are just warnings. If we don''t give up long LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, more unexpected things will happen next." Shuren Yanagawa''s eyes widened, and after the shock, he was furious, but the president was in front. He could only forcefully swallow what was about to be said, and said with anger, "President, do long LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures." President Keigo personally ordered this..." Of course Maekawa Taro knew this. He said to Yanagawa Shuren: "I know, I just let you know about this, continue to be vigilant, and strive to complete the clearance as soon as possible. I will report to the president later and see the president. I¡¯ll let you know when the time comes." "understand!" Yanagawa Shuren nodded solemnly. "Well, do you have anything else to say?" "Not yet." "Then you continue to the meeting." After Taro Maekawa sent away Yanagawa Shuren, he pondered for a while to sort out his belly draft, and then dialed an international long distance call. The time difference between Tokyo and London is 9 hours Now London is around 12 noon in Greenwich, and Tokyo time is 9 hours earlier, so at this time Tokyo is just over 3 in the morning, and it happens that people are sleeping. The heaviest time. Under normal circumstances, Taro Maekawa will not disturb the good dreams of President Keigo Sumitomo at this point in time. But today''s situation is special, he had to bite the bullet and make this call. In the island country of Tokyo, in the home of Sumitomo Keigo, a rapid ringing awakens Sumitomo Keigo who is sleeping with his wife. After comforting his wife, he rubbed his eyes to refresh himself and connected the phone. "This is Sumitomo Keiwu''s house...eh? Maekawa Taro? What do you want?" "..." "what?" () v3 Chapter 860: Huge losses and counterattacks Latest website: As Maekawa Taro continued to talk on the phone, Sumitomo Keigo''s face became low. When the warning was passed on, Sumitomo Keigo rose in anger and his eyes became extremely sharp. He narrowed his eyes, and patiently asked about the specific situation of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, as well as the situation of the entire market, and then began to think. Taro Maekawa knew that Keigo Sumitomo was thinking, so he waited quietly. For a long time, Sumitomo Keigo''s eyes became firm, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Clear the three futures of nickel, lead, and zinc, and concentrate all funds on copper futures and aluminum futures. Give me my best to go long!" "At the same time, the entire company is vigilant and persists until copper futures and aluminum futures reap the fruits of victory!" "If there is any unexpected situation you can''t make up your mind, call me as soon as possible! You did a good job this time!" After speaking, Sumitomo Keigo hung up the phone, and the murderous look in his eyes never disappeared. It doesn''t matter who warned them about the company, because it is G¡¤S¡¤Huabao on the surface and it is difficult to find out who it is secretly. However, since the enemy has the strength to target the three futures invested by Sumitomo Corporation, but does not touch copper futures and aluminum futures, Sumitomo Keigo will of course not withdraw, but has strengthened his determination to go long. The enemy must know that copper futures and aluminum futures have little chance of winning, so they thought of encircling Wei and saving Zhao and forcing them to withdraw from Sumitomo Corporation. But he did not let the enemy wish! Three futures, including LME nickel futures, have a loss of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and it is not impossible to lose 200 million U.S. dollars. He couldn''t swallow this breath. What''s more, the impact of retreat is too bad. Sumitomo Corporation is the company that he relies on to compete for the position of the owner. If he shrinks, it is equivalent to giving up the position of the competing owner. How can this be! But things have happened, the best way is to reap large profits on LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures to fill the pits of three futures including LME nickel futures, and use the victory in the LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures markets to defend The signboard of Sumitomo Corporation. Therefore, Sumitomo Keigo''s attitude is quite firm, not afraid of threats, but will smash to the end! It was two days in a flash. Two days later, Maekawa Taro strictly followed the instructions of President Keigo Sumitomo. Yanagawa Shuren reluctantly cut his fingers to survive. When the prices of three futures including LME nickel futures were getting lower and lower, he kept clearing his positions and fleeing. The funds after the flight were all credited to the accounts of the LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures teams to provide ammunition protection for subsequent major actions. "Minister, all LME lead futures are cleared!" "Statistical losses!" Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, Liu Chuan Shuren coldly ordered. "Minister, all LME zinc futures have been cleared." "Statistical losses." ... In the afternoon, except for the remaining 820 lots of LME nickel futures that were not sold, the other two futures were cleared. The final statistics made Liuchuan Shuren''s blood dripping. LME zinc futures lost $53.3 million and LME lead futures lost $44.5 million. The contract sold by the LME nickel futures has actually lost 81.6 million US dollars. However, the price of the LME nickel futures contract has almost bottomed out, because more and more institutions have poured in to take orders, otherwise they would not sell so fast. After the remaining 820 lots of LME nickel futures contracts are sold out, plus various costs, it is estimated that there will be a loss of about 11 million US dollars. It has to be counted, and it''s really about the same as he estimated a few days ago, with a loss of 190 million U.S. dollars, which is a difference of 10 million U.S. dollars to 200 million U.S. dollars. Although it is only halfway through this year, in Yanagawa''s opinion, such a large loss is estimated to rank first in the company, and not only the London branch, but the entire Sumitomo Corporation parent company! This means that his Liu Chuan Shuren will become a bright person in the company, and he is absolutely indispensable for the year-end review. Of course, the premise is that he can keep his job before the end of the year! In order to keep his job, Liu Chuan Shuren gritted his teeth secretly, saying that he should try to recover losses as much as possible on LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, and make up for the failure! "All the funds are transferred to the accounts of the LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures teams, and everyone else will help!" Greeting a group of subordinates, Liu Chuan Shuren led them to the LME copper futures department. The next morning. Operation room, City of London, where GS Warburg is located. Evelyn Lowhill and Sidmund Warburg talked and laughed about the battle. "Evelyn, it''s almost over. I estimate that Sumitomo Corporation should be able to complete the clearance at around ten this morning." Sidmund Warburg looked at the selling order for another one hundred LME nickel futures contracts and said with a smile. After speaking, he said with some emotion: "I didn''t expect the islanders to withdraw so decisively, at least 180 million U.S. dollars. If you don''t want them, you don''t need them. The islanders are really rich, haha~" There will be a profit of at least 150 million U.S. dollars in his pocket. Evelyn Rohill is in a good mood. He smiled and nodded and said: "Islanders do have money. Last year, the total GDP of the island nation exceeded One trillion U.S. dollars, which ranks third in the world and twice that of the United Kingdom." "The six major consortia of the island nation control over 60% of the total assets of the island nation. As the core company of the Sumitomo Consortium, Sumitomo Corporation has a lot of money." Sidmund Warburg nodded, his eyes flashed and seemed to rise suddenly and said: "Now Sumitomo Corporation is still doing long LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, and the determination is not small. Evelyn, do you want to go? Try?" When Evelyn Roshir heard this, his expression froze for a moment, and then he returned to naturalness. He smiled and looked at the trading board. When he saw the prices and trends of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking. Sidmund Warburg glanced at him and looked at the trading board with a smile, his eyes darkened. For a long time, Evelyn Rohill said: "I will wait and see again, if I have a chance, I will certainly try." Sidmund Warburg smiled and didn''t go any further, just a test or two, after all, Evelyn Roshir was not stupid. Time passed slowly. When I saw that there were fewer and fewer LME nickel futures selling orders Huabao also bought almost. After Evelyn Roshir asked Sidmund Warburg to complete the settlement, he calculated the profit and then notified him. Only when the London Metal Exchange opened in the afternoon, the movements of the LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures markets surprised him. In particular, the rhetoric of Sumitomo Trading Co. and the company that suddenly jumped out to do more and pointed to the Howard family made Evelyn Rosier''s face quite ugly. Afterwards, he hurried back to the family immediately. Lohill Family Manor. "Damn, the Howard family actually got involved?" After listening to his cousin''s account, Jacob Rosier frowned and was in a bad mood. () v3 Chapter 861: Bahrain Bank is in a hurry The latest website: "Jacob, looking at the current situation, it is almost irreversible. Even if we do it ourselves, the funds needed are very large and cannot be raised in a short time. Once we raise the funds, the situation will be even worse." Evelyn Rohill sighed slightly, shaking his head. The failure to threaten Sumitomo Trading Co. was counterproductive and angered them. Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. will have more abundant liquidity after the capital contraction, but it will be more difficult to deal with. Coupled with the fact that the Howard family blatantly joined the long camp, the strength of the long and short positions in the UK LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures markets is very different, and the short positions have lost momentum. Just a Bright Fund has beaten the Bank of Bahrain steadily and retreats. Now, with the addition of the Howard family and Sumitomo Corporation, which are also strong and tough with the Bank of Bahrain, Bahrain Bank has no chance of winning. The only way to survive is for the short camp to immediately add three or four giants of the same strength, and have to prepare funds to gradually recover the disadvantage. With the status of London''s international financial center, it is not difficult to find such giants, but how to let them go. According to the current bad situation for the shorts, the person in charge of a financial institution will not rush in unless the head of a financial institution is drawn. For the Rohill family, the situation at this time is out of control. "By the way, Jacob, Sidmund also tested me today and asked me if I would short LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures." Evelyn Roshere suddenly remembered what happened at G¡¤S. Warburg Company in the morning, hesitated for a moment, and said to Jacob Roshere. Jacob Rohill heard the meaning of his cousin''s words, frowned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Evelyn, this is almost impossible. Sidmund will not take this risk. He is already old. Now that the Warburg family can¡¯t bear too much setbacks, they want them to enter, unless we take the lead.¡± My cousin is old friends with Sidmund Warburg, and he knows him better. Hearing what he said, Evelyn Rohill knew there was no way. Their Roshir family will never go short, so this road has been blocked. Can we just watch the Bright Fund win? "Okay, Evelyn, things have reached this point. We can only count on Philip Brothers to play on our own. We have made a little money anyway. Let''s keep an eye on the Bank of Bahrain. It is estimated that the Bank of Bahrain is not peaceful now." When Jacob Rohill talked about the Bank of Bahrain, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and secretly calculated. Evelyn Rohill was taken aback and nodded silently. This is the end of the matter, and we can only get as many benefits as possible. As Jacob Rosier said, after learning that the Howard family entered the market more and Sumitomo Corporation expressed its optimism to the end, the management of Bahrain Bank panicked. And the Bahrain family can''t sit still. City of London, Bahrain Bank Headquarters Building, meeting room. The door of the meeting room opened, and the senior officials of the Bank of Bahrain came in one after another. They only noticed the depressive atmosphere in the meeting room, and saw that it was not the president Peter Niels who was at the top, but the chairman Barrett Bahrain. , Each heart shuddered, even the footsteps subconsciously lightened, and silently walked to their respective positions. "Who else hasn''t arrived?" Barritt Bahrain scanned his eyes for a week and found that there were still a few empty seats, so he looked at Peter Niels sitting beside him and asked in a deep voice. Although he is chairman of the board, he still does not understand the company as well as the bank president he appointed. Peter Niles had been counting the heads of people silently. At this time, when he heard the chairman''s inquiry, he immediately replied: "Chairman, the executives in London have arrived, and several senior executives have gone abroad on business." Barrett Bahrain nodded and said solemnly: "Then the meeting begins, you will host it!" "Ok!" Peter Niels responded, and then said: "Some executives may not know why they are meeting. Then I will briefly explain the basic situation to you." "At 1:14 pm, Sumitomo Corporation issued a research report again, claiming that the current prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures are severely underestimated. It is predicted that in the next six months, the demand for copper in the metal market will increase by 40%, and the demand in the aluminum market will increase by 40%. The volume will increase by 38%." "Subsequently, Sumitomo Corporation opened a high position again..." "At 1:40 pm, the LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures markets once again entered a long position. After inquiries, it is the Locke Fund controlled by the Howard family, and the strength is very strong and the attitude is extremely determined..." As Peter Niels continued to tell, the expressions of executives who did not know the situation became serious, and executives who knew the news subconsciously looked at someone in a special position. I saw that the middle-aged white man had a solemn expression and his eyes were stunned, not knowing what he was thinking. "This is the basic situation." "Next, I would like to ask Manager Curtis Bard to talk about the investment status of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures." Speaking of this, Peter Niels looked at Curtis Budd calmly, and the others focused their eyes on him. Curtis Bard is the senior manager of the metals trading department of the futures investment department of the Bank of Barings. Curtis Bard woke up like a dream, took a deep breath, opened the prepared detailed investment registration form, and said with a shame: "At present, we have invested 749 million US dollars to short this Of the two types of futures, 11,890 lots of LME copper futures were sold, valued at US$393 million, with an average selling price of US$1322/ton. "LME aluminum futures sold 5280 lots, valued at US$356 million, with an average selling price of US$2697/ton." At this, Curtis Budd paused for a long time. Barrett Bahrain, who was sitting above, looked at him coldly, and said solemnly: "It''s a loss!" Curtis Bard was shocked slightly and continued to read: "As of 2:15, the LME copper futures price was $1,368/ton, with a loss of $13.67 million." "The LME aluminum futures price was US$2787/ton, with a loss of US$11.88 million." "The total loss is 25.55 million U.S. dollars." "This is all the situation, the report is complete." After speaking, Curtis Budd looked down at the table, as if there was something on the table that attracted him. After hearing this number, there was some commotion in the venue, and many people looked at Curtis Bard and Barrett Bahrain, secretly trying to figure out the chairman''s attitude. Peter Niels looked at the chairman and found that his face was cold and he did not have a tendency to speak immediately. He looked at another person and said: "Manager George Monroe, the evaluation report given by your risk evaluation department at the beginning It shows that LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures are overvalued and short-selling risks are low. You have seen the real situation now. What do you want to say?" The main responsibility of the risk assessment department is to conduct risk assessments on the large-scale investment plans submitted by various departments, and give a professional evaluation report, and then submit them to Peter Niles, who will decide whether to sign an agreement to invest. The risk assessment department of the Bank of Barings has always been running very well, with very strict controls, and there are few cases of wrong assessment, so Peter Niels is very relieved. When George Monroe submitted the evaluation report before, Peter Niels read it and directly signed and agreed to Curtis Bard¡¯s investment plan. As the president of the bank, Peter Niles is responsible for the affairs of the entire bank. He is busy and cannot do everything himself. The main focus is on management and operation. Most of the time, the specific investment affairs are in charge of the following departments. Now that something goes wrong, he is of course also responsible, but mainly responsible for leadership, and the heaviest responsibility falls on Curtis Bard and George Monroe. George Monroe stood up, bowed his head with shame, and said in a self-reproach: "Chairman, President, I am really sorry because my department has not strictly controlled the company and caused the company a lot of trouble. " After apologizing, he went on to explain: "At that time, when the risk assessment was conducted, the global market had been collected. At that time, Sumitomo Corporation and Locke Fund did not enter long positions. The U.S. futures market was short-positioned, and the output of copper and aluminum did indeed increase Trends, so my department thinks it is profitable and made that low-risk evaluation report But now looking back, our department¡¯s evaluation report has fatal loopholes, that is, it failed to find out the Bright Fund and the US Galaxy The true power of the fund, even if we exclude Sumitomo Corporation and Locke Fund, in the futures market, after the Galaxy Fund exerts its strength, we have fallen into a disadvantage. "More importantly, Philip Brothers has been under tremendous pressure in the United States, which has led to a decline in capital investment in London." "My department has far underestimated the power of bulls, and I am willing to take this responsibility." George Monroe¡¯s attitude was much more sincere than Curtis Budd¡¯s, and he first admitted his mistakes and then explained in place. He was also very responsible, which made Barrett Ballin and Peter Niels less angry. . It''s just that, the pressure is on Curtis Budd, the senior manager of the metal trading department. The latter''s face became very ugly, and his brain was running wildly, wondering what reason to find to relieve his responsibility later. () v3 Chapter 862: Bank of Bahrains choice Latest website: All eyes are on themselves, which puts Curtis Budd under pressure. Although it was the Rothschild family who made him short LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, this cannot be said unless he wants to go to prison. Curtis Budd was very anxious, and his forehead seemed to become wet. Barrett Bahrain frowned and said in a deep voice: "Manager Curtis Bard, I read your investment application report, but it is not enough to explain that you have invested more than 700 million US dollars in short time. , Your behavior was too radical, which led to this dilemma. I need an explanation." The current deficit is only 25.55 million U.S. dollars, which is not too much for the Bank of Bahrain. It seems that it has not reached the alarm of Barrett Bahrain, and high-level meetings are held in such a big battle. But if you think about it, you can understand Barrett Ballin''s concerns. Before Baring Bank was short, it only gradually stepped into a disadvantage, so there is still room for dealing with it. However, the news that broke out this afternoon meant that the bulls were about to take off, and the room for maneuver of the shorts led by Baring Bank was instantly reduced by 80 to 90%. Now it is only a loss of 25.55 million US dollars. But what if the prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures double? So how much money the Bank of Bahrain has invested, so much money will be lost! Now, 749 million U.S. dollars has been invested, and this figure is huge! If all losses occur, it will be enough to bring the Bank of Barings into the abyss! Although the London Metal Exchange has a margin system, if the margin is lost under normal circumstances, the exchange will forcibly close the position, and the loss does not seem to be too large. But nothing is absolute, there are always extreme situations, such as the inability to close a position. On the premise that the bulls are unanimously optimistic about the market, and holding the futures contracts without letting go, the Bank of Bahrain cannot buy enough futures contracts for liquidation. In this way, you can only watch the futures price rise all the way until the contract expires. In theory, the price of futures can rise to infinity, so the loss of shorting is also unlimited. Just like when the Hunter family did long silver futures, the initial silver futures price was around US$2 per ounce, but in 1980, the highest price reached US$50 per ounce, a 25-fold increase. Assuming that the short position that was short at the beginning has not been able to clear the position, and when it reaches the highest position, it is delivered by the long position. The silver futures sold for 100 million US dollars will be bought back 2.5 billion US dollars, and the loss is as high as 2.4 billion US dollars. Of course, in a few months, the loss was less than 20 times, but if the bulls are too strong, it is not impossible to double or double. With the huge contract volume of the Bank of Barings, it is too difficult to liquidate all the positions smoothly under the condition of bullish momentum. It is considered good to be able to escape with a loss of one or two billion dollars. It was because of this premonition that Barrett Bahrain could not sit still at home and hurriedly called all the high-level meetings. Curtis Bard sweated heavily on his forehead, and quickly explained to himself: "Chairman, I am sorry that I miscalculated the power of the bulls. I thought I could use our powerful capital to end the battle quickly, but I didn¡¯t expect the bulls¡¯ capital. Strong, it is too late by the time I react. I am planning to attract more capital to join the short camp." "But before it was officially implemented, what happened at noon today. The reason why the Howard family''s Rock Fund has done more is unclear." "But as far as I know, Sumitomo Corporation has suffered serious losses in the LME nickel futures, LME zinc futures, and LME lead futures markets these days. All funds have been drawn back. They must want to recover their losses in other markets, so they will increase Strongly long LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures." "The actions of the G¡¤S¡¤Huabao Company showed no signs and had nothing to do with our investment, but it caused us sudden trouble." "Chairman, although there are many reasons for this situation, I also have aggressive investments. I am sorry to cause trouble to the company." After speaking, Curtis Budd lowered his head with a shame, as if he had no face to see Barrett Bahrain. Curtis Bard urgently learned George Monroe''s trick, so that Barrett Barin had nowhere to spread his anger and almost suffered internal injuries. But if Curtis Bard wants to get rid of the responsibility so simple, he is undoubtedly thinking too simple. Seeing that the chairman was very annoyed, President Peter Niels glared at Curtis Budd and screamed: "Curtis Budd, your responsibility is the greatest. It has already happened. What you have to do is do your best. Minimize future losses!" "What are you going to do?" Although it was a scolding, Peter Niels also gave Curtis Budd a chance, depending on whether the latter could seize it, and let the chairman Barrett Bahrain calm down. Curtis Bard immediately seized the opportunity and said sincerely: "Chairman, President, I think if we want to reduce losses, we can take two steps. The first step is to create a negative public opinion atmosphere and win at the same time. Companies that may be short-selling such as G¡¤S¡¤Huabao join our short side, and take the opportunity to clear the position and exit in the second step." Curtis Budd put it more bluntly, just trying to trick several institutions into the water, and then took the opportunity to flee. This method of stopping loss is very insidious, and is typically self-interested. But the capital market is cruel and ruthless, and only interests are paramount. If it can really reduce its own losses, Barrett Bahrain will definitely do it. The first Barit Bahrain contemplated his eyebrows for a moment, and felt that the operation was too difficult. After all, no one is stupid, especially shrewd Jews. It is difficult to trick them into taking the order! But because his attention was diverted, Barrett Ballin''s anger a little bit, and he looked at other people and asked, "What do you think?" "Chairman, I think it is too difficult to find an institution to take over, so I suggest to take other measures to hedge against losses. For example, if you buy more spot, the price of futures will rise, and the spot price will rise accordingly. Use spot profits to hedge your futures losses. ." An executive suggested. No one stipulates that a short position is always a short position. Long and short can be converted into each other. The key lies in the profitable side. "Chairman, I suggest..." ... Able to become a senior executive of the Bank of Barings, each has a few brushes, and they have put forward their own opinions, those who have suggestions, and those who don''t, also contribute their own analysis and inspire others. This is the purpose of Barrett Bahrain in convening a meeting of all people, to use the wisdom of the crowd to solve problems. At the end of the discussion, everyone''s opinions gradually reached consensus, which can be summarized into three points. One is that short-selling has failed and should immediately stop continuing to invest in short-selling, so as not to get deeper and deeper, we should find a way to clear the position. The second is not to give up the trustee to enter the water, find someone to take the order to reduce their own losses. The third is to open a vest separately, instead of doing reverse long spot in the name of the Bank of Barings, send people to major mining companies to buy spot contracts for later trading with metal buyers to hedge short-selling losses. During the meeting, their respective responsibilities were also assigned. Among them, Curtis Bard had the opportunity to make up for his work, that is, to find a way to lighten up the exit from the angle as hidden as possible. After all, Curtis Bard is the senior manager of the metals trading department of the futures department. He knows the most about LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. At this critical moment, letting him continue to be responsible is the safest way. After the meeting, everyone performed their duties and acted immediately. Barrett Bahrain, who was not at ease, left the meeting room and went straight to the operation room to check the prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. After seeing the prices of the two, Barrett Bahrain''s face instantly went black. The meeting lasted just an hour, but the price of LME copper futures rose to $1,387/ton, and the price of LME aluminum futures rose to $2824/ton. The combination of the two made the floating loss of the Bank of Barings rise again by 105.3 million US dollars, and the floating loss reached 36 million US dollars! It is enough to see the impact of two events that happened one after another at noon on the market. Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Barrett Bahrain gave Curtis Budd a fierce look, and Barrett Bahrain left with a cold face when the latter repeatedly promised to do his best to make up for it. The next day is Friday, and the prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures continue to rise, putting great pressure on the senior management of the Bank of Barings. Fortunately, after the market is closed on Friday afternoon, the market will be closed for two days on the weekend, allowing the Bank of Bahrain to have two days of activities. For example, go to European countries to purchase copper and aluminum spot contracts. The Bright Fund and the Howard family are also acquiring spot stocks. It is absolutely impossible for the two parties not to meet or not to leak the news. The only difference is that the mood of the person receiving the news is completely different. v3 Chapter 863: Depressed John Goofland The latest website: "Is anyone else buying copper metal?" In the City of London, the headquarters of the Bright Fund, George Berkeley frowned slightly. The subordinates in front of him nodded and said: "Yes, I communicated with Rock Fund, not theirs. I just thought it was normal raw material procurement at first, but it is certainly not a coincidence that I encountered such competitors one after another. I have ordered someone to investigate where they came from." George Berkeley stretched his brows and thought about it for a while and said: "Increase the acquisition. The purchase price can be adjusted according to the price of the futures. The speed and quantity can not be reduced!" The market changes at any time. After Sumitomo Corporation''s sudden effort, the situation went in a better direction for Bright Fund, which has exceeded George Berkeley''s expectations. The growth of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures is quite gratifying. Under this circumstance, if the speed of purchasing the spot cannot be increased, the price of the spot will also increase. In the early stage, it is not willing to increase the price to purchase, and it will also cost a high price to buy it later. Instead of this, it is better to raise the premium earlier and buy more spot contracts. Anyway, George Berkeley is confident and his own capital is strong enough to make money back when he is reluctant to sell his stock. "Understand!" the subordinate replied loudly. "Go ahead, hurry up!" George Berkeley waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates. ... Peter Niles was in a bad mood at the Bahrain Bank headquarters, a few hundred meters away from the Bright Fund. The news reported by the subordinates responsible for the purchase of copper and aluminum spot contracts gave him a bad feeling. Of course, while depressed, there are also some fortunate. Fortunately, I decided to purchase a spot contract, only to discover that the enemy had been hoarding secretly. If it is not discovered in advance, the Bahrain Bank will suffer even greater losses when it breaks out. So, who exactly is acquiring the spot contract for copper metal and aluminum metal? Bright Fund? Sumitomo Corporation? Or is it the Locke Fund of the Howard family? Slightly shook his head and brought back the divergent thinking. With a glimmer of expectation, Peter Niles looked at the executive Jack Colassi who was sitting across from the spot and asked: "Jack, you know it is Who is buying spot contracts? How many have they bought?" Jack Kolasi shook his head in the disappointed gaze of Peter Niels and said: "President, I started to inquire about the relationship and learned about two of them. One is Rossi Trading Company and the other is Costi. Regrettably, I have never heard of these two companies before. I asked a lot of people and said they didn¡¯t know. They were all unknown before. I guess it should be a shell company, and from the information found in the industrial and commercial department, the equity It has been processed, and it is impossible to find out who is behind it in a short time." Although Peter Niels regretted, he nodded in understanding and didn''t blame him. The enemy is so cautious, it can be seen that it has been planned for a long time. It is undoubtedly quite stupid for the Bank of Bahrain to jump into the futures market. Unfortunately, it''s too late to regret it now. Thinking about it carefully, these two companies are definitely not all known. There are definitely other shell companies that are also acquiring spot contracts. Although the people behind them can¡¯t find out, they should be the Bright Fund, Rock Fund and Sumitomo Corporation. One or more of them. Suddenly, Peter Niles felt a sense of anxiety. He thought for a while, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of Chairman Barrett Ballin''s house. It was a servant who answered the phone. Peter Niels immediately identified himself and asked him to call Barrett Ballin. Soon, Barrett Bahrain, who was watering the flowers, dropped the spray can and returned to the living room to answer the phone. Peter Niels immediately relayed the situation reported by Jack Colasi, and then offered his own opinion. "... President, this is the situation. I suggest that we increase our spot acquisition efforts as soon as possible and acquire as many spot contracts as possible, which can reduce our losses. If we acquire more land, we may be able to turn losses into profits." "..." "Okay, I understand, I will execute it immediately!" "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Peter Niles looked down and said to Jack Kolasi: "Jack, the chairman has approved. I will mobilize 300 million US dollars for you today and do my best to acquire the spot contract. I understand. ?" Jack Kolasi nodded sharply, and solemnly replied: "Understand, I must go all out!" "Wait, be careful not to let Phillip Brothers know that we are buying a spot contract." Just as Jack Colassie turned to leave, Peter Niels suddenly called him and exhorted him. Their Bahrain Bank is going to be a backlash, and naturally they can¡¯t let the London branch of Philip Brothers know about it, otherwise it will only hurt the Bahrain Bank. Although the Bank of Barings and Philip Brothers were allies a few days ago, things are fickle and they are not now! "I remember it!" Peter Niels said, nodding heavily. "Well, go ahead, come on!" After watching Jack Colasie disappear in the doorway, Peter Niels frowned and thought about it. For a long time, he sighed, but the sorrow between his brows never disappeared. As many parties are working hard, not only are there turbulent waves inside the exchange, but public opinion outside the exchange is also noisy. As for the secret ground, not to mention, many people feel the more turbulent and dangerous undercurrent hidden under the waves. It was Monday again in a blink of an eye. Before the market opened, the London Metal Exchange was overcrowded, all looking forward to the huge electronic trading board, whispering to each other from time to time, talking about the trend of a certain company or certain futures. Many of the topics discussed are about LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. No way, these two types of futures fluctuate the most during this period, and they are also the most topical. Although it is a melon-eater, we must be a tasteful and high-grade melon-eater and specialize in eating good melons. At this moment, I don''t know who shouted: "It''s on!" Suddenly everyone was quiet, and they all looked at the trading board. The silence lasted only two seconds. When I saw the real-time quotes on the trading board, there were exclamations and noises in the exchange. LME copper futures jumped at the opening, with an opening price of US$1,462/ton, which was US$12/ton higher than the closing price last Friday. LME aluminum futures also jumped at the opening, with an opening price of US$2964/ton, which was US$21/ton higher than the closing price last Friday. Bulls are still awesome! Immediately afterwards, I saw that the prices of these two futures began to vibrate violently. It''s just that the power of the bears is not as powerful as the bulls. After struggling for five or six minutes, the bears showed signs of decline, and the prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures began to climb steadily. Time and space shifted, and his eyes moved to New York, USA on the other side of the Atlantic. When it was time for work John Gufran came to Salomon Brothers. "Chairman, good morning!" "Anna, you look more beautiful again!" "Chairman..." John Gufran said hello to the employees with a smile, and when he got on the elevator, he snatched a newspaper from the newspaper rack. Only when he had just arrived in his office to sit down, a subordinate knocked on the door and walked in and reported to him a piece of news that made his smile freeze. "Chairman, according to the news from the UK, the price of LME copper futures has risen to $1,486/ton, and the price of LME aluminum futures has risen to $3001/ton." Hearing these two data, John Gufran made a quick calculation in his heart and compared the closing prices of copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Friday. He couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes, his face full of Tangled and depressed color. v3 Chapter 864: The pigs are not fat enough The latest website: If the price of LME copper futures is converted to the price of US advanced copper futures, it is equivalent to 0.6740 US dollars per pound, and the price of LME aluminum futures converted to Alcoa futures is equivalent to 1.3612 US dollars per pound. But look at the opening prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange this morning, which are $0.6320/lb and $1.2965/lb, respectively. For these two types of futures, the London Metal Exchange''s prices are higher than 5%. This gap is not too small! And judging from the overlap of customers between the London Metal Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange, the prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures on the London Metal Exchange will soon affect the premium copper futures and Alcoa futures of the New York Mercantile Exchange. , This kind of out-of-hours factors will prompt the prices of advanced copper futures and Alcoa futures to rise. This bullish factor is absolutely terrible news for shorts like Salomon Brothers. "I seem to have been dragged down by Philip Brothers. Albert Raphael absolutely underestimated the power of bulls." John Gufran thought gloomily. "I still have to find out if Albert Raphael has any follow-up preparations. If not, I will have to plan early..." Thinking of this, John Gufran took out an address book from the drawer, found one of the numbers on the page of Philip Brothers, and pressed the button to dial it. Soon, the call was connected, and Albert Raphael''s slightly enthusiastic voice came from the receiver. "John, good morning..." "Albert, good morning, I got a message. I don''t know if you know that the prices of London LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures are significantly higher than the prices of American copper futures and Alcoa futures... you know?" "Well, what are you going to do? You are the main force for shorting this time... OK, I am waiting for your reply, please be sure to..." After speaking briefly, John Gufran narrowed his eyes, thinking back and forth about Albert Raphael''s attitude and what he said. For a long time, he opened his eyes and encouraged his subordinates to retreat. Then he went to the operation room and issued an order to temporarily reduce the short-selling effort. At the same time, he ordered the risk evaluation department to combine the current situation with the investment risk of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures. Perform a reassessment. John Gufran has felt that he seems to have been fooled by Albert Raphael. If Philip Brothers does not exert enough strength, he will have to consider whether to continue with Philip Brothers. ... No matter how short sellers such as Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers struggle, Xia Yu is not nervous. In his opinion, from the time he invested a large sum of money to purchase spot contracts, the dominant power of the situation has already fallen into his palm. Anyway, his capital is enough to manipulate the two markets, no matter how the shorts struggle, they are doomed to fail. It depends on whether the bears are still willing to continue to increase. From Xia Yu''s point of view, he must be eager to continue to invest money shortly. The more short-term investment, the more profits he can harvest. Because of something temporary, Xia Yu didn''t arrive at the New York branch of Galaxy Fund until 9:30 in the morning. After the arrival, Xia Yu was in a good mood when he saw the company once again dominate the price trend of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures. Just a closer look and found that the trading volume and frequency of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures were not as good as before, and Xia Yu realized that the shorts were hesitating. If the commission is excluded, in principle, the futures market is a zero-sum game, and shorts and longs are equal, and neither party can sing a one-man show. This feature of the futures market is different from the stock market, because the stock market is not a zero-sum game. If the shorts do not follow up, the Galaxy Fund will not be able to spend its money. The transaction volume and transaction frequency Xia Yu sees in the operation room is estimated to be equivalent to about two-fifths of the time when the struggle began. Of course, Xia Yu''s side is always ready to place buy orders to buy, and there is no sign of lack of success. The key lies in the short side, and the selling order volume is decreasing, which makes Xia Yu''s side unable to open. Seeing this situation, Xia Yu suddenly felt disappointed. Phillip Brothers, now the number one futures market in the United States, plus Salomon Brothers, is this strength? "Song Yang, what about the statistics of open interest?" Taking Song Yang back to the office, Xia Yu sat down on the sofa, looked at Song Yang with his arms folded, and asked. Song Yang said, wait a minute, and went out for a minute or so. When he came back, he already had a document in his hand and handed it to Xia Yu respectfully: "Boss, the data is here." Xia Yu took it smoothly, looked at it seriously, and contemplated it from time to time. Now I have held 98,200 lots of advanced copper futures, costing 1.459 billion US dollars. According to the opening price this morning, the value reached 1.552 billion US dollars, so the advanced copper The floating profit of futures is 93 million U.S. dollars. The aluminum futures open interest is 61,450 lots, costing 1,881 million U.S. dollars. According to the opening price this morning, the value reached 1,992 million U.S. dollars, which is about to reach two. One billion US dollars, the floating profit of aluminum futures reached 110 million US dollars. The two types of futures add up to a total floating profit of US$204 million. Compared with the total investment of more than US$3.3 billion, this floating profit rate is definitely small. It can also be seen from this that the short positions led by Philip Brothers are still very strong. After so long, the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures have not been soared. Unlike in the London Metal Exchange, the Bank of Barings was beaten steadily, and there was almost no way to fight it, only to watch the prices of the two futures soar. Xia Yu is still not satisfied with these data. On the long side, he is the main force in the main force, but on the short side, although Philip Brothers is a big short, there are also other institutions entering the market. Xia Yu estimated that Philip Brothers estimated that it had invested only about 2 billion US dollars, or maybe even less. Now, if Philip Brothers exits when the situation is bad, the loss will not be much, estimated to be hundreds of millions of dollars. It can hurt your muscles but not move your bones. This is not in line with Xia Yu''s plan. He planned to knock down Philip Brothers with a stick, and then take over at a low price. Philip Brothers¡¯ loss is not large enough and it will increase the difficulty of his acquisition. Thinking of this, Xia Yu instructed Song Yang: "Slow down the offensive in the first two days, and even pretend that there is not enough funds to lure short capital into the market." Song Yang was taken aback, revealed a sinister smile, nodded repeatedly and said, "Boss, I understand." The boss thinks the pig is not fat enough. ... After leaving the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu quietly came to the New York branch of Jiuding Securities. As soon as he saw General Manager Toby Morton, Xia Yu went straight to the subject and asked: "Toby, how is the short going?" Unexpectedly, Toby Morton said with some regret: "Boss, the short selling was smooth before. Many institutions are willing to bet against us, but in the past few days, we have found four institutions and are unwilling to bet against us. " There is only one reason for holding shares in Philip Brothers but not willing to bet against, and that is because they don¡¯t have enough confidence in Philip Brothers. They are afraid that after the gambling, the stock price of Philip Brothers will be sucked continuously and the loss will be even greater. . If you don''t bet on the right, you can sell the stocks in a timely manner to keep your losses within an acceptable range. Xia Yu nodded slightly, and did not immediately make any comments, but continued to ask: "How much have we shorted now?" During this period of time, the company has been revolving around this work, so Toby Morton knew these data well, he said without thinking: "At present, we are gambling with seven institutions and we have borrowed stocks in total. 21.2 million shares, accounting for 14.75% of the total equity, were sold for 616 million U.S. dollars." "Now the share price of Philip Brothers has fallen slightly, and our floating profit is 8.26 million US dollars." It can be seen from these data that the impact of Philip Brothers¡¯ short-selling temporary failure has been fed back to its stock price, but because the outside world is not clear about the true loss, the stock price has only fallen slightly. If it is revealed that Philip Brothers has lost 200 million US dollars, its stock price will definitely collapse. After all, the annual net profit of Philip Brothers last year was only 289 million US dollars. Now the price has fallen slightly because investors rely on speculation and subjective analysis, and are not optimistic about the prospects of Philip Brothers. After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu''s face was solemn, and he stared at Toby Morton: "Toby, I have let the Galaxy Fund slow down. Maybe Philip Brothers will regain the advantage in these two days. You must seize it. Opportunity, strive to increase short-selling quickly." "If some institutions are still unwilling to bet against each other, you have to send someone to watch them. When you launch a general offensive later, watch their equity flows so that you can buy bottoms later, understand?" Toby Morton also talked to the boss Xia Yu, knowing that he not only wants to make a profit, but also wants to eat the Phillip Brothers company. He still knows which one is more important. So he nodded solemnly and replied: "Boss, I understand, I will make an action plan right away." "Well, go ahead, work harder." Xia Yu smiled and encouraged. ... Sure enough, in the next two days, as the buying momentum of the Galaxy Fund slowed, the bears were overjoyed. After a series of trials, the shorts continued to increase their weight in an attempt to regain the lost ground. The longs who lost the Galaxy Fund could only barely parry. Fortunately, the price impact of the futures markets in London and island countries has driven the prices of copper and aluminum futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Mercantile Exchange to rise. And Toby Morton also seized the opportunity and lured three more institutions in just two days and borrowed 8.25 million shares. After borrowing, immediately began to sell. It''s just that Toby Morton did cover it to avoid being put on the hat of malicious short selling. However, the large-scale sale of stocks greatly increased the trading volume of Philip Brothers'' stocks, which had a slight impact on the stock price. The news inevitably passed back to Philip Brothers. Chairman Tendler Wells felt bad and felt surrounded by conspiracy. () v3 Chapter 865: It turned out to be overcast! The latest website: "Is this investors reducing their holdings or are some institutions shorting?" Tendler Wells'' expression changed, his eyes were staring straight at the company''s stock trading data submitted by his subordinates, and his heart was uncertain. Just seeing the huge trading volume, Tendler Wells is more inclined to short-term institutions. He himself is a practitioner in the financial industry, and he is naturally aware of the danger of being targeted by giants. He now feels like a man on his back. "I can''t be sure if I''m dreaming here. Just ask those major shareholders." Thinking of this, Tendler Wells picked up the phone and spoke to the major shareholders from large to small in proportion to their equity. One by one, Tendler Wells''s face was calm at first, but after all the major shareholders had called, his face was as black as pot stickers, and his eyes flickered with anger. "Jiuding Securities Company!" Tendler Wells was annoyed by the awkward company name. Just now, many shareholders have told him about gambling, and Tendler Wells is not angry. After all, these shareholders are willing to bet against each other and undoubtedly need to have enough confidence in Philip Brothers. Shareholders who dare not to bet may have insufficient confidence. He has no right to interfere with these shareholders'' lending of equity to gambling, although they cause trouble for him. Knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy, Tendler Wells immediately ordered people to collect information about the strange Jiuding Securities Company. An hour later, the information of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was presented on the desk of Tendler Wells. When seeing that Jiuding Securities was only a branch of a securities company in Xiangjiang, Tendler Wells subconsciously squinted. "The group of Galaxy Funds are also Chinese, and Jiuding Securities is also a Chinese company. It seems that they are a group of people. Does this mean that Phillip Brothers will make a loss?" "Huh, is this intending to maximize the benefits?" Although Tendler Wells was angry in his heart, his face was unconsciously dignified. My family knows about their own affairs, the high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures are getting more and more troublesome, and they have invested a huge amount of capital and are still at a disadvantage. Tendler Wells is extremely concerned about this. Galaxy Fund is long in high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures, and Jiuding Securities is short in Philip Brothers stock, the two have been linked together. "The key is to win this futures war. As long as you win in the futures market, the stock market will naturally win." After calming down, Tendler Wells instantly thought of the key. As long as there is no loss in futures, or even a profit, Jiuding Securities'' forcibly shorting will only make itself miserable. If there is a big loss in the futures, there is no need for Jiuding Securities to short, and the stock price of Philip Brothers will also plummet. The only difference is that the short selling of Jiuding Securities will magnify the decline! "just¡­¡­" Thinking of the situation in the futures market, Tendler Wells has a haze in his eyes. The situation is not optimistic, and because of Albert Raphael¡¯s early short-selling, the funds invested so far have reached more than two billion US dollars, which are available on the New York Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and London Metal Exchange. investment. Some hesitant Tendler Wells ordered someone to call Albert Raphael, general manager of the rare metals investment department, to hear his opinion. "President, are you looking for me?" Soon, Albert Raphael walked quickly to the office and asked slightly with his head down. "Sit down first!" "Albert, look at this first." Tendler Wells said, throwing the situation of the stock market he had seen before to Albert Raphael. The latter took it and looked down seriously. At this glance, his face changed one after another, he suddenly raised his head, frowned and asked: "President, what do you mean?" Tendler Wells did not answer, but asked with a solemn face: "It is a secondary matter that the stock market is shorted. How does the result depend on the results of the futures market, do you understand?" Albert Raphael nodded solemnly and said, "I understand." Tendler Wells asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation in the futures market now, what are you going to do?" Albert Raphael looked solemn, contemplated his eyebrows, and raised his head for a long time and said: "President, the capital we have invested is already very large and cannot be withdrawn in a short time. If we stop now, it will definitely be a failure. The loss within the scope is at least US$400 million, and the probability of capital preservation is zero." "If you continue to invest money and fight this war with all your strength, winning will increase the company''s strength, and losing will result in greater losses, and the stock market will have a greater impact." Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and then continued: "My personal suggestion is that since the consequences of failure can be seen, retreat must fail. It is better to continue fighting. Although you may lose more, it is not impossible to win. If you can¡¯t win in normal ways, just try other methods. After all, this is the United States, and it¡¯s not yet the turn of the new Chinese to dominate. Albert Raphael is a typical gambler''s psychology. Anyway, he has already lost so much. If he closes his hand, the company will be hit hard. Then it is better to go to the dark and fight for a life. Maybe you can fly. soaring. Of course, he would choose this way, not without the influence of completing the task assigned by him, but also in order to make a way for himself. Tendler Wells looked at Albert Raphael deeply, and said in a deep voice: "How confident are you? How are you going to act? Know that now the bulls have the advantage!" Albert Raphael immediately said: "President, now the bulls'' offensive has slowed down, and I estimate that the bulls'' power is about to reach its peak. As long as we increase the offensive and fight back for the dominance, we can still turn the tide of the war." "And to be on the safe side, we can also attack the Galaxy Fund from other aspects. Even if we can diversify their energy and delay their time, it is in our advantage. We can also take this opportunity to find a few more giants to end the market, and we can use the long current I believe many institutions will be interested in the funds invested." Tendler Wells thought for a long time, then slowly nodded and said: "Just do what you said, I will order the finance department to allocate 200 million US dollars to your department. You need to be responsible for finding the bank to allocate funds." Albert Raphael smiled and replied loudly, "Thank you, President, I will give my all!" Afterwards, seeing Tendler Wells wave his hand, Albert Raphael slowly withdrew from the president''s office. After looking at the information of Jiuding Securities and the stock market, Tendler Wells snorted and threw it aside. Albert Raphael, who was backed by the company again, immediately acted, and it was reflected in the futures market that the volume of selling orders increased sharply, and even no one bought it for a few times and the futures prices recovered a lot" Lost ground". Seeing this, other short-term players also increased after the test. This was in the middle of the Galaxy Fund. Song Yang exclaimed the boss''s wise and martial arts, and on the other side methodically let the trader slowly buy in, enjoying the plot of "parry with all his strength and be in a hurry". However, Song Yang was not happy too soon. Two days later, a group of well-dressed people with law enforcement certificates stepped into the Galaxy Fund. When a group of employees blocked the group of law enforcement officers, a vigilant employee immediately left the hall and ran towards the operation room. "Manager, it''s okay. People from the New York Board of Trade are here. They are coming so aggressively. Now they have been stopped by others. I''m afraid it won''t last long." Song Yang, who was sitting in the operation room, suddenly changed his face when he heard the report from the employees panting and cursed: "Bad son, it''s overcast!" () v3 Chapter 866: Come on, hurt each other! Latest website: After swearing, Song Yang took a deep breath to calm himself down. He glanced around and found that the status of other employees was a bit wrong, and he was obviously affected by the news. In order to avoid operational errors, Song Yang immediately said loudly: "The anonymous account is temporarily hidden, and each perform its duties according to the original plan. Make sure not to let the situation get out of control. Others follow my orders." After speaking, Song Yang immediately walked out of the operation room and walked to the hall downstairs. When he stepped out of the elevator, he found that the lobby was crowded with people. The inside was the company''s employees, and the outside was a group of people in uniforms. A total of six people belonged to the New York Board of Trade. At this time, an executive of the Galaxy Fund was welcoming the leader of the New York Board of Exchange with a smile, but the soles of his feet were rooted, just dragging them to prevent them from entering, but the leader was serious, and impatience was vaguely visible. Fortunately, the appearance of Song Yang gave the executives of the Galaxy Fund a sigh of relief. "Manager! They are members of the investigation team of the New York Board of Exchange. The leader is the team leader, Bruce Jones." The executive of the Galaxy Fund is a Chinese, and he immediately introduced him to Song Yang in Chinese, so that Song Yang can know it. Song Yang nodded slightly, smiled and stretched out his hand to Bruce Jones, smiling: "Hello, Mr. Jones, I am Song Yang, the head of the Galaxy Fund." Finally came the principal, Bruce Jones suppressed his unhappiness, but he still shook hands with Song Yang expressionlessly and immediately let go, raised his work permit and said: "Mr. Song Yang, we have received a report that Galaxy Fund is suspected of monopolizing senior The copper futures and aluminum futures commodity markets have maliciously manipulated futures prices and have a bad influence on the market economy. Therefore, I was ordered to form an investigation team to investigate this matter. I hope you will actively cooperate!" After speaking, he stared at Song Yang scorchingly. Song Yang looked shocked and shook his head quickly to deny, and retorted loudly: "Mr. Jones, this is absolutely slander. Our company has always abided by federal laws and regulations and has absolutely not manipulated futures prices. The informant is definitely retaliating. Who, I must sue him for malicious competition, malicious slander of our company, and harm to our company''s image!" According to the regulations of the New York Board of Trade in the United States, in order to prevent a single dealer from monopolizing the market, the futures contracts owned by each dealer shall not exceed the number or five percent of all contracts! Only below this limit is it insufficient to manipulate commodity prices. Song Yang''s reaction was exactly what Bruce Jones had expected. He didn''t know how many similar situations he had seen. No businessman would admit to this kind of thing. Is it right? Check it out! He said blankly: "Mr. Song Yang, we are just under order to investigate. It is your company''s business to tell others to compete maliciously. Others report is also the right of others. Please cooperate with us in the investigation, OK?" Song Yang certainly did not want to let Bruce Jones and the others in. His face became cold and he said: "Mr. Jones, it is your job to investigate, but we also have our responsibilities. It is working time. You should be aware of finance. The company¡¯s investment situation, if your investigation affects our investment and causes losses, can you bear this responsibility?" "If you are willing to take the corresponding risks and responsibilities, then you can investigate anytime!" As soon as these words came out, Brook Jones and the others looked ugly for a moment, staring at Song Yang like a knife. Song Yang stared at them blankly, but did not give in. This is a naked threat! Who knows whether this loss is intentional or passive? It is absolutely impossible for them to agree to this condition! For a time, Brooke Jones and others were in a dilemma. But he knew very well that this time it was to trouble the Galaxy Fund, and no matter how bad it was, he would have an impact on it, and leaving the New York Board of Trade only as a joke. For a long time, Bruce Jones took a deep look at Song Yang and said, "Mr. Song Yang, we understand your worries. Otherwise, we will not affect your investment before you leave work. This is already the largest of our investigation team. Backed down." "We need to explain to all practitioners and the committee!" In the last sentence, Bruce Jones spoke very heavily and his expression was very serious. Instead of staring at each other, Song Yang remained silent for a long time, and his attitude softened. He stepped aside and said, "Mr. Jones, our company has a lot of trade secrets. What do you want to investigate? Tell me if those things are lost. Or mess up, there will be a lot of trouble." "can." Next, Song Yang had to put aside work and accompany Bruce Jones and others throughout the process, but the operation room said nothing to let them in, Bruce Jones and others could only peek at the door. In the middle of the journey, Song Yang specially asked Xue He, who had returned from outside, to hand over. Then he made several calls and finally found Xia Yu and reported the specific situation. After listening, Xia Yu instantly guessed what was going on. He didn''t intend to come forward. After telling Song Yang a few words, he stayed at Jiuding Securities Co., a few hundred meters away from Galaxy Fund, in case Song Yang could not handle it. It can be the first time when things happen. On this day, due to the existence of the investigation team of the New York Board of Trade, the Galaxy Fund was occupied with a lot of manpower, and the operation room lacked a person in charge who could make a final decision. The efficiency was still affected. Although it was implemented according to the plan, it was still short. Regained a lot of lost ground. Fortunately, Xia Yu had already made a deliberate plan to release water before, so it was not a big deal for the Galaxy Fund. Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, the bulls in advanced copper futures and aluminum futures have weakened. Tendler Wells, who closely followed the market, thought that his own strategy had worked and had an impact on the Galaxy Fund. After the investigation team left, Xia Yu came to Galaxy Fund from Jiuding Securities. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, everyone in the company breathed a sigh of relief, and Song Yang felt relieved and quickly reported to Xia Yu. In the boss''s office, Xia Yu looked at Song Yang, who was sitting across from him, and nodded slightly from time to time as he listened to his continuous talk. "...Boss, this is the situation." Song Yang finished speaking in one breath and looked at Xia Yu eagerly. Xia Yu did not express his opinion first, but instead looked at the data of today''s futures market that had not been opened for the first time. After browsing, it turned out that the bears regained a lot of lost ground and eliminated some of the advantages of the bulls led by the Galaxy Fund. He smiled lightly and said to himself: "It''s okay to make them think it has an impact on us. Wait until later. Sometimes they cry." Then Xia Yu looked at Song Yang and said, "The investigation team of the New York Board of Trade, no matter how bad it is, it will bring us trouble. Please pay attention these days. I will not come forward. You must not let them. Enter the operating room." Song Yang nodded his head: "I understand!" After hesitating for a while, Song Yang felt unhappy, and said: "Boss, can we just endure it like this?" Xia Yu glanced at him with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Of course it''s impossible, and they are not the only ones who will report." Seeing that the boss already had an idea, Song Yang smiled and stopped talking. He has never seen his boss fail in this kind of tactics. Early the next morning, before the various departments went to work, dispatchers delivered newspapers to thousands of households. At the same time, newsstands in the streets and alleys opened one after another, and passers-by stopped to buy newspapers to read. Many people on the financial page of some newspapers saw some news expressing concerns about the futures market, and some directly pointed out that high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures were suspected of being short maliciously, affecting economic order. Of course, there are also some news reports that the Galaxy Fund has been investigated by the New York Board of Trade, saying that it is a clear-cut writing that the Galaxy Fund maliciously manipulated futures prices. These opposing news immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people eating melons. Just before the New York Mercantile Exchange opened, a piece of news spread throughout the exchange. Someone reported that Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers maliciously shorted advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, and asked the New York Board of Trade to intervene in the investigation and provide all investors with a fair and clean trading environment. Some well-informed people contacted the news that they learned yesterday, and even realized that the struggle between shorts and longs has expanded again and is no longer limited to normal business methods. Many people looked at the New York Board of Exchange with great interest to see how they would act. () v3 Chapter 867: Hoarding, rising and rising! Latest website: Mexico City, Mexico Copper Group. At this time, after two days of intense negotiations, the two parties finally reached an agreement and are ready to sign an acquisition agreement. The two parties are the Mexican Copper Group and Xia Yu. Of course, because of trying to hide, the name of the offshore registered shell company was used to sign the agreement. When the words were signed and the agreement was exchanged, there was a round of applause in the conference room, which seemed to be celebrating the deal of this big business. The 82,300 tons that had been mined in the Mexican Copper Group¡¯s current warehouse were bought by Jin Jiajun at a price of 1,400 US dollars per ton, and the total transaction price was 115,22 million US dollars. . In fact, this price is not too low, more than ten dollars a ton higher than the futures price of the New York Mercantile Exchange. But this is the result of Jin Jiajun''s two days of grinding, and the negotiating members of the Mexican Copper Group are not willing to let go. Jin Jiajun also knows that the Mexican Copper Group knows about the futures market, which obviously means taking advantage of the fire. However, the Mexican Copper Group does not monopolize the market, so it does not have much confidence to support it. Of course, it is possible for Jin Jiajun to complete the transaction as soon as possible. The invitation to the luncheon of the Mexican Copper Group was declined. Jin Jiajun returned to the hotel where he was staying with the acquisition team. Eight people sat around and listened to Jin Jiajun''s instructions. "The most important task assigned to us by the boss has been completed. This is inseparable from your hard work and dedication. Thank you all!" "Manager, this is what we should do, and your contribution is the greatest." "Yeah yeah¡­¡­" Jin Jiajun smiled slightly, interrupted everyone''s flattery, and said with a serious face: "In the next time, I plan to buy copper mines in the hands of other mining companies in Mexico. I have consulted the boss for five days!" Speaking of this, Jin Jiajun paused, and his five fingers spread out and said to everyone: "The boss hopes that within five days we will purchase the existing copper mines in Mexico for more than eight floors. The more the better, the more efficiency is required. , So allow us to negotiate more room..." ... After some discussion, the Jin Jiajun team took action again. In the next five days, Jin Jiajun and a group of people wandered through various mining companies in Mexico, and as long as they came to the door, they did not return empty-handed, and they were extremely efficient. Mining deals are no better than others. It is often negotiated for a ton of one or two dollars for a long time. However, after Jin Jiajun and others came up with the agreement signed with the Mexican Copper Group, various mining companies immediately fell into the disadvantage of negotiations. The Mexican Copper Group. Not only is the Jin Jiajun team specializing in the former, but the other teams are also making amazing progress. Every day, the spot quantity of copper and aluminum in Xia Yu''s hands is soaring. Of course, because these spots are linked to offshore registered shell companies, many people don''t know the actual situation. It was not until some companies were running out of metal copper and metal aluminum materials and went to mining companies to purchase, the impact began to ferment. ... Business reception room, Antofagasta Mining Company, Chile. An unbelievably loud voice of shock and disbelief came out, and the passing employees couldn''t help but stop. "what?" "Manager Lovett, are you sure you are joking with me?" "Your trick of raising the price is a bit clumsy!" Looking at the middle-aged white man who stood up and stared at the opposite side, Ithaca Lovet, the sales manager of Chile''s Antofagasta Mining Company, looked helpless and said, "Mr. Robin, I really Not kidding you, if you come five days in advance, our company still has 75,000 tons of copper metal." "Manager Lovett, seventy-five thousand tons of copper, worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars, I don''t think any company has so much capital to hoard so many raw materials, unless their company''s boss has mice in his head!" "Manager Lovett, our two companies have been cooperating for ten years. I have been fooled by you twice before, but this time, you can''t fool me!" "When I came, I saw a mountain of copper metal in your warehouse!" Scott Robin, the purchasing manager of Chileco Platinum Machinery Manufacturing Company, said loudly, still not believing Ithaca Loffitt''s words. Ithaca Lovette grinned in embarrassment, and then reluctantly explained: "Mr. Robin, I really don¡¯t lie to you. The copper metal you see has been acquired, but it¡¯s temporarily stored in our company. In the warehouse, not only 75,000 tons of spot goods were purchased, but the purchaser also paid a deposit in advance and signed a purchase agreement of 10,000 tons of copper with our company. Even with our company¡¯s strength, we want to produce 10,000 tons. It also takes almost a month for the copper metal." "This also means that if you place an order now, we can only supply you one month later!" Scott Robin shook his head like a rattle, and said, "How about a month? You know that our company is the largest machinery manufacturing plant in Chile. The metal and copper raw materials in the warehouse can only last for eight days. You can''t stop our company for more than 20 days!" Ithaca Lovett sighed and said with a pity: "Mr. Robin, then there is no way. You can only go to other mining companies to see if they are available." After speaking, he hesitated for a while, thinking of his many years of friendship with Scott Robin, and thought it was better to remind him, and said: "Mr. Robin, I have bad news to tell you, not just us The company¡¯s copper metal has been acquired, and I heard that other mining companies¡¯ copper metal has also been acquired.¡± Scott Robin''s eyes widened again, staring at Itaka Lovett seriously, and realizing that he didn''t seem to be joking, his heart suddenly shook, and a bad premonition surged into his heart. Thinking of the company''s huge daily consumption of metal and copper, he felt his scalp numb, swallowed hard, and said astringent: "Manager Lovett, are you sure about this news?" Itaka Lowfitt pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. At this moment, Scott Robin''s face completely changed, as black as pot stickers. He stood up anxiously and walked back and forth in the business reception room, clenching and clenching his fists. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Itaka Lovet and said, "Manager Lovet, I don¡¯t know if you can do me a favor. Since the metal copper bought by the previous buyer is still in your store, it¡¯s better to sell a part first. Give it to me and you will make it back later." Ithaca Loffitt immediately shook his head: "Mr. Robin, please forgive me for not being able to help you. The agreement we signed has stipulated that if we are found to have misappropriated the acquired metal and copper, we need to pay another 20 million yuan. Liquidated damages in US dollars, I dare not take this risk, I am really sorry!" "Mr. Robin, I suggest you go to other companies to ask questions. Hurry up. If it''s late, maybe other buyers will get ahead?" Scott Robin woke up suddenly, after thanking him, he immediately led people away. Only one day I ran six mining companies that would mine copper mines, and they were all told that the copper metal had been sold out and there would be no stock for a month. When he stepped out of the seventh mining company, Scott Robin was already out of his mind, like a corpse of his colleagues, and the sentence "How to explain to the president..." In fact, Scott Robin is not alone. It is not only Chile. After all, Chile is only a developing country in South America. Its industrial foundation is relatively thin, and its demand for metal raw materials is not large. The key is some large industrial manufacturing companies in Europe and the United States. When they were preparing to purchase metallic copper and metallic aluminum, they all learned that both metallic copper and metallic aluminum were bought not long ago. The buyers are different, but they all have one. The characteristic is that it was previously unknown. Combined with the gunpowder in the futures market, it is strange that they don''t understand. The bulls must be hoarding the spot! However, they are not sure which bulls bought the spot. They want to find those buyers and can''t find them. It seems that the world has evaporated. As a last resort, one industrial manufacturing company began to look for which mining companies still had metal copper and metal aluminum. In order to facilitate the price increase, Xia Yu did not buy out all the metal copper and metal aluminum on the market ~ www.novelhall.com~ or left a lot. But these numbers, for the manufacturing companies that have reacted, and even panicked, are simply more wolves and less meat. The profiteers of the mining companies that still cover the metal copper and metal aluminum revealed their faces and directly announced price increases, and it was a competitive price increase. On the one hand, there is the threat of stopping the operation of the factory, and on the other hand, the price of raw materials is getting higher and higher. Although irritated, various manufacturing companies still buy it with their noses. This has further promoted the price of copper and aluminum. Spot prices have soared sharply, exceeding futures prices by a large margin. And the most well-informed financial institutions have already mobilized funds to enter the market and join the camp-the bulls! The bears headed by Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers panicked. PS: The second update is over. The plot is almost over. It is too much overtime, which makes the plot time longer and looks very empty. I''m really sorry. v3 Chapter 868: Philip Brothers is over! "Good job!" "Now that the impact has not reached the maximum point, everyone cannot relax their vigilance and must pay close attention to changes in the market." With a smile on his lips, Xia Yu exhorted Toby Morton, general manager of the New York branch of Jiuding Securities. Ever since manufacturing companies discovered the lack of raw materials for metallic copper and metallic aluminum, and started bidding, Xia Yu felt relieved when the spot prices of metallic copper and metallic aluminum were increased. In the past two days, he wandered around the Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities with a relaxed attitude, and occasionally watched a game at home leisurely. When the major financial giants on Wall Street realized that the bulls had placed huge sums of money to accumulate cash, they decided that the bears were out of luck. Among the shorts, Phillip Brothers and Salomon Brothers are the leaders, and the worst impact will naturally be borne by these two companies. But Salomon Brothers is not listed, so most of the pressure is borne by Philip Brothers. The most intuitive feedback is in the stock market, where investors vote with their feet. It is now 3:30 pm on Friday, and the share price of Philip Brothers has stabilized at US$27.87 per share, and has fallen to the current US$24.32 per share. The market value has evaporated by US$525 million! Investors in Phillip Brothers are now regretful, especially those institutions that bet against Jiuding Securities, they are almost buying regret medicine! Of course, the premise is that there is something like regret medicine. And as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see, the impact of bulls hoarding spot stocks is still fermenting and has not reached the maximum extent. Whether it is spot or futures, there will still be upside. The higher the price rise, the greater the short loss. In this case, the ruthless Wall Street alligators swarmed, some rushed into the futures market, some also started to hoard spot stocks, and some were planning to short Philip Brothers stock. Of course, there are some people who are waiting for the opportunity to analyze the market to see if there is any cheaper. What''s more, prepare to open up a new battlefield again in this chaotic market and make a fortune with the help of the market panic. All in all, the New York financial market has been turbulent. ... Office of the President of Phillip Brothers. President Tendler Wells, Vice President and General Manager of the Rare Metal Investment Department Albert Raphael, and Salomon Brothers President John Gufran were sitting next to each other, but no one spoke. The office There was a heavy atmosphere in it. After a long time, a series of rapid footsteps came, leading the eyes of the three to the door. Then, I saw Harlan Dryden, the manager of the senior copper futures department, walked in solemnly, and immediately reported: "President, manager, the closing price of senior copper futures is 0.7855 US dollars/lb, and the closing price of aluminum futures is 1.5895 US dollars/lb. " Although these two figures were expected by the trio, when they did happen, it still made them feel heavy. Harlan Dryden''s mouth squirmed, but in the end he didn''t say anything, standing a little awkwardly, neither leaving nor staying. "Harlan, you go down first!" "Right, close the door by the way." After a while, Tendler Wells let him out and told him to close the door of the office. John Gufran spoke at this moment, with blame and anger in his tone: "Albert, is this what your company said to find out the strength of the Galaxy Fund?" Hearing this, Albert Raphael''s face changed drastically, and he said first: "John, it is not certain that the large-scale acquisition of spot goods is the Galaxy Fund, or other capital, just like we can find Salomon Brothers. Like allies, I¡¯m not sure if the Galaxy Fund has found someone to be an ally. For example, the Sumitomo Consortium in the island country definitely has this strength." "And if it comes to losses, our company''s losses are the biggest." On the one hand, Albert Raphael, while Tendler Wells was not paying attention, kept winking at John Gufran, with a hint of plea in his expression. He didn¡¯t want John. Gufran told the previous conversation between them in private. This afternoon, John Goofran went straight to the door without saying hello, so Albert Raphael did not have time to ask John Goofran to explain in advance. "Mr. Goffran, Albert is right. According to the current situation, our company has suffered the most losses, and our company is the one who wants nothing to happen!" Tendler Wells also explained aloud. John Gufran looked at the two of them, especially looking at Albert Raphael deeply for a few seconds, then took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said calmly: "Well, I will help me Sorry for the gaffe." "But what should we do now?" "Now Wall Street has determined that we have failed, and capital is on their side!" "We''re fucked!" Hearing this, Tendler Wells and Albert Raphael were silent. How could they not know what John Gufran said? To put it bluntly, the current situation is that Wall Street Capital is falling into the trap, trying to trample them harder and drain their blood. Seeing that the two hadn¡¯t spoken for a long time, John Gufran frowned. He didn¡¯t want to spend precious time here, and said again: ¡°Do you have any effective way? If not, then I¡¯m sorry, I will immediately drop out." Although Solomon Brothers has fallen into it, it is not as deep as Phillip Brothers. It can still be left, but at a huge price. Although it will hurt Salomon Brothers, it will not fall. If it continues to be procrastinated, it is really uncertain whether it will go bankrupt! "Gufran, we don''t have any other options at the moment, but we still have two days, and we will give you a clear answer the day after tomorrow." Tendler Wells took a deep breath and said solemnly, even with a hint of request. Although Philip Brothers is stronger than Salomon Brothers, at this critical moment, if Salomon Brothers turns back, the loss of Philip Brothers will be magnified by several layers, and he has to put down his figure. The next two days are Saturdays and Sundays. During the two days of market closure, this is their last chance. If you can''t think of a solution, you can only wait to die. "No, one day!" "Tomorrow night, you have to give me an answer, I need to give an explanation to the board of directors, the day after tomorrow...it''s too late!" John Gufran shook his head brazenly and said, his tone was very determined. After a long silence, Tendler Wells slowly said, "Yes!" ... "It''s already dead!" Rockefeller Manor, David Rockefeller shook his head and said. Although he said something similar two days ago, it was not as sure as it is now. "I didn''t expect this Chinese kid to have such a strong capital, I underestimated him." "I wanted to take over his oil futures, but now it seems impossible, and it helped him to stand firm on Wall Street, huh..." "But it''s not without gain, at least I know the relationship between the Rohill family and him..." After David Rockefeller sighed with emotion, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked east through the window and seemed to be able to see someone with a headache and irritability. Then, he made a phone call, called a confidant, and ordered something. That night, the relevant mining companies under the Rockefeller Consortium received notices not to sell metal copper and metal aluminum for the time being. Several other institutions have also taken action and are ready to join them immediately after the market opens on Monday. This weekend, it will be uncomfortable for the Galaxy Fund. Public opinion is full of accusations against the bulls headed by the Galaxy Fund. Various emerging heads that disrupt the economic order have deducted the Galaxy Fund one after another, and unnecessarily accused the Galaxy Fund of hoarding and malicious manipulation of copper and aluminum. the price of. It seems that under pressure, the New York Board of Trade investigates the Galaxy Fund Company around the clock and finds people to talk from time to time, and the U.S. Futures Trading Commission has also stepped in, causing some people in the Galaxy Fund to feel turbulent Fortunately, Xia Yu knows. This is the last madness of the bears, let Song Yang urge the company''s employees to stabilize their minds. He is not inactive. The major media under his control, as well as the media that spend money to buy, are fighting with the opposing media, and the momentum of quarrels once surpassed the heat of the election. Anyway, they couldn''t find out the real situation. Xia Yu didn''t worry at all. Legal sanctions must pay attention to evidence. on Monday. In the anticipation of all, the New York Mercantile Exchange opened again. Whether it is people on the exchange or outside the exchange, they are closely watching advanced copper futures and aluminum futures. "Opening up soaring!" "Senior copper futures jumped 6 percent at US$0.8325/lb! "Philip Brothers is completely over!" v3 Chapter 869: Huge floating profit "The opening price of advanced copper futures is 0.8325 US dollars/lb!" "The opening price of aluminum futures is $1.6815/lb!" Song Yang said happily in the operation room of the Galaxy Fund. Although the boss himself is here and can also see the data, he still likes to read the data. These cold data are so cute to him. His heart seems to fluctuate with these data. Every time the data beats up, his mood gets excited. "Compared to last weekend''s closing price, advanced copper futures opened up 5.98%, and aluminum futures opened up 5.78%." "It''s quite reasonable to depress it for two days. It''s still in the early stage!" Xia Yu said with a faint smile. His voice seemed to have a magical power, so that Song Yang''s original excitement was smoothed. The smile on the latter''s face slowly reduced, and he took a deep breath and nodded: "You are right." After a few seconds of silence, Song Yang couldn''t help but curiously asked: "Boss, when will we start to retreat?" Xia Yu''s eyes withdrawn from the rising data, glanced at Song Yang, thought for a moment, and said: "No hurry, Wall Street Capital is still entering the market. They will not leave without making a profit. Wait and see for another two weeks. Time to wait for an opportunity to act." Although the market is messy now, Xia Yu''s heart is like a bright mirror, looking through the chaotic market and seeing the most essential things. The capital market is a game of big fish eating small fish. Players of all sizes are flooded with it. Generally speaking, big fish eat small fish and small fish eat dried shrimps. But there is no absolute thing, it is impossible to guarantee that the small fish will not turn into a shark instantly. In the early stage, the longs led by the Galaxy Fund and the shorts led by Philip Brothers had already piled up the gambling table with hills of dollars. Now, various financial institutions are pouring into it, making the US dollars on the gaming table more and more. Now no one can tell when the gambling will end. Maybe everyone is lucky enough to try to get the last laugh and get more benefits. As the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures become higher and higher, there will definitely be conservative institutions exiting, and institutions that are originally calm but jealous will enter. In this game of drumming and spreading flowers, the losers and the final takers will die, and the money will be the institutions that withdraw from the middle and late stages. It''s just that the institutions that withdrew in the early to mid-term will certainly not make as much money as the institutions that withdrew in the mid to late period. If you want to make more money, you must take greater risks. Risks and benefits are always proportional. However, no matter how these institutions play, Xia Yu cannot be bypassed, and the initiative remains in Xia Yu''s hands from beginning to end. Only when he starts to clear the position, the gambling will begin to be turbulent, unless a more powerful dealer than him is re-established in order to maintain the gambling again. According to statistics, including companies such as Galaxy Fund, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., London Bright Fund, etc., the copper futures and aluminum futures contracts held by the Jiuding Consortium account for more than 50% of the market. Counting the two allies of the Howard family and Sumitomo Corporation, Xia Yu¡¯s camp has controlled more than 65 percent of futures contracts in the global market, and maybe even 70 percent. Although not comparable to the peak data of 90% of the global silver futures contracts controlled by the Hunter family, combined with the amount of spot controlled by Xia Yu, the influence is not bad, or even worse. In the past, the Hunter family manipulated silver futures and was limited by capital, mainly playing low-cost futures contracts. The proportion of control over the spot was quite low, only a few percent. Therefore, when the spot market is chaotic, it will lose control and thus Destroy the futures market. With lessons learned, Xia Yu was much more cautious. Now he has spent more than 5.5 billion U.S. dollars just ordering people to buy the spot, buying 1.12 million tons of metal copper and 1.34 million tons of metal aluminum. Although these metals are still in the warehouses of various mining companies, the spot trading contracts have been signed, and these metals already belong to him. I believe no company dares to take the risk of facing the threat of huge liquidated damages. Time flies like a white horse, two weeks in a blink of an eye. On Monday, the stock market opened on time. Unsurprisingly, the high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures still jumped at the opening, and the prices reached 1.2145 US dollars/lb and 2.4680 US dollars/lb respectively. The prices of these two futures have more than doubled before Xia Yu went long, and the market has become extremely crazy. The futures market always has a leverage of ten times and several tens of times. If the institutions that successfully entered the market two weeks ago spent 20 million US dollars as margin to enter the market, the floating profit now reaches at least 90 million US dollars, which can be said to be four times. More profit! There are not many financial institutions with an annual profit of more than $100 million, even in New York. Think about Phillips Brothers, which had a market value of more than US$4 billion, with an annual net profit of less than US$300 million. Therefore, in the face of such crazy profits, not many organizations can remain calm. This is a carnival of wolves! It''s just that the shorts headed by Philip Brothers are going crazy. Under the skyrocketing futures prices, they have to constantly replenish the margin, and at the same time join the ranks of scramble, want to force liquidation. Before the short positions were selling contracts, now if you want to close your position, you need to buy back the equivalent futures contract. Although it is a forced liquidation, in the face of the already crazy market, every sell order is like a piece of delicious meat, attracting countless wolves to **** it, and it is difficult for Philip Brothers to close the position to grab the contract. Philip Brothers has sold too many contracts before, and now it is difficult to close the position. In view of this situation, Philip Brothers has to adopt other methods, such as acquiring spot contracts, and then looking for institutions that want to convert the spot contracts into futures contracts for liquidation. This approach has further promoted the soaring of spot prices. Although major mining companies continue to produce metallic copper and metallic aluminum, they are still in short supply in the face of broad market demand. When the market is closed on Monday morning. Xia Yu smiled when he saw that the stock price of Philip Brothers was fixed at $8.25 per share and the market value was $1.2375 billion. Although Philip Brothers has been covering the lid to prevent the leakage of real data, there are too many elites on Wall Street, and the loss of Philip Brothers has been estimated. A conservative loss of one billion dollars! This is the estimate of Philip Brothers by many organizations, and the result of this estimate has been unanimously approved by the majority of organizations. With such a huge loss, the shares of Philip Brothers have become junk stocks. Now the market is full of sell orders, but no institution dares to buy. Even if it fell from the peak of 4.173 billion US dollars to the current 1.237.5 billion US dollars, the market value will soon exceed 3 billion US dollars, and the downward trend still cannot be contained. Calculating carefully, Jiuding Securities shorted Philip Brothers, and the floating profit reached 630 million US dollars! And this is not the end. As long as the stock price of Philip Brothers drops lower, Jiuding Securities will make more profits from short selling. It''s just that Xia Yu is not too greedy, knows how to stop. "Toby, when the market value of Philip Brothers has fallen below one billion U.S. dollars, start doing it. Just buy enough equity to repay the gambling institutions. There is no hurry to buy the bottom." Withdrawing his sight from the fixed price, Xia Yu ordered Toby Morton beside him. Toby Morton was taken aback, looking at Xia Yu''s deep gaze, thinking hard, nodded in response: "Yes!" "I''m leaving now, and you are almost off work." After all, Xia Yu turned and left. Watching the departure of the boss Xia Yu, Toby Morton contemplated the boss''s true thoughts. "Didn''t the boss want to buy Philip Brothers, has he changed his mind again?" () v3 Chapter 870: The threat of bankruptcy "It''s time to ship!" Looking at the string of data on the trading board, Xia Yu had calculated in his mind for a long time and said lightly. Song Yang, who was beside Hou Yu, beamed with joy, and quickly said, "Boss, shall I inform them?" "Notify them, come to my house tonight." Xia Yu nodded slightly and ordered. Although the New York Board of Exchange is investigating the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu is not inactive. The New York Board of Exchange is also burdened by huge public opinion pressures and internal pressures. The term ¡°money can move the mind¡± applies everywhere. For more than ten days in a row, the New York Board of Exchange and the United States Board of Exchange did not seize the handle of the Galaxy Fund. How can I resist the pressure and affect the operation of the Galaxy Fund during normal working hours? Therefore, the New York Board of Trade and the United States Board of Trade had to search for clues secretly and keep a close eye on the Galaxy Fund''s account on the exchange. As for those anonymous accounts, although they are controlled by the Galaxy Fund, they can now be bought and sold directly by machines and remotely controlled, without the need for offline transaction contracts. How can they be caught so easily? As for looking up the Galaxy Fund¡¯s trading terminal along the data, it is simply wishful thinking that Xia Yu¡¯s computer capabilities will definitely beat a lot of experts in this era, not to mention that computers are not popular now, and there are very few people in the financial industry who understand computers. , Where is it so easy to be outstanding. For this reason, although many institutions across Wall Street speculate that the mysterious spot giant in the market is the Galaxy Fund or its associates, they cannot find strong evidence. That night, Xia Yu asked everyone to start shipping according to the plan that had been made. After all, he just cleaned up the inventory of major mining companies and bought more production capacity for the next month. Now that the time is over half, it is time to start shipping. Otherwise, after a month, the volume of goods supplied to the market by major mining companies will increase significantly, and prices will inevitably fluctuate. Instead of passively accepting, it is better to start in advance and transfer the spot to other financial institutions. The ultimate goal of financial institutions is to make money. They accept the spot at a high price. If they don''t continue to raise the price, what more money will they make? Xia Yu transferred part of the spot contract, which seemed to have made a little less money, but he pulled a large number of financial institutions on board, which helped him to smoothly sell the unsold contracts. In fact, he still made money, and also earned money. More stable! Early the next morning, Xue He and his team began to look for the next home they had already targeted, including financial institutions and manufacturing companies that desperately needed copper and aluminum. And the Galaxy Fund was not idle, Song Yang commanded the trader to start selling futures contracts. There is Xia Yu sitting in the trading room, able to intervene in scheduling in a timely manner, strongly control the rhythm, and minimize the impact of selling contracts on the market. Under normal circumstances, Xia Yu did not intervene, but let Song Yang command. This opportunity to sharpen his subordinates was rare, and he would naturally not underutilize it. Buyers are like clouds. Galaxy Funds often list a futures contract for one second at most, before being bought by a trader from a certain institution closely following the market. At this price, there are many conservative long-term institutions who want to close as soon as they see it. Therefore, there are always selling orders. Now the Galaxy Fund has placed sell orders one after another, which has not attracted attention. ... Nowadays, to say which company in New York is the most worrying, there is no more Phillip Brothers, followed by Salomon Brothers, and no one is more difficult than this. Philip Brothers, large meeting room. An emergency board meeting is now being held. Tendler Wells is not only the chief executive, but also the chairman. Sitting at the top of the oval conference table, he got up and bowed to all the directors sitting to apologize, saying, "I''m really sorry, because my management mistakes have caused the company to have this huge crisis." None of the directors here gave him a step down. After all, the company has fallen into such a situation, and it is their money that is lost. No matter what the reason, the loss is so serious that they are in a good mood. Especially Kester Philip, the representative of the Philip family fund, is even more like a dead Lao Tzu, his face shrugged off, stinking to death. He said in a hard tone with implied anger: "Wells, it''s too late to say this. I want to know how serious the company''s crisis is!" "Yes, time is urgent, let''s get down to business." "Now every second, the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures go up a little bit. We have no time to waste." "..." All the directors present all said, all urging Tendler Wells to get to the point. Tendler Wells combines the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the board. He has a strong control over the company. He has been covering the lid and trying to solve it on his own. Therefore, he has dealt with the inquiries from other directors. . There was an emergency board meeting before, but the main content was to let the major directors exert their efforts. The situation was not as bad as it is now, so the company¡¯s investment situation was not described in detail, and the major directors did not know the truth and it was normal. . Tendler Wells has a thick-skinned face. Although embarrassed, his face does not show the slightest. He took a deep breath, brewed for a while, and said in a heavy tone: "Dear directors, our situation is already very bad. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy. The outside estimates are very accurate. According to the current situation, the company will lose at least one billion yuan. US dollars!" The number of billions of dollars seen in the newspapers and heard from the mouth of Tendler Wells, the mood is very different, and everyone has no luck. The meeting room suddenly became commotion. Tendler Wells continued to say with a blank expression: "The company''s stock price has fallen to 7.74 US dollars per share, which is a drop of more than 72.2% from the recent peak of 27.87 US dollars. The company''s current market value is 11.61. Billion US dollars, 3.012 billion US dollars have evaporated from the peak." "And because of the influence of public opinion, investors have lost confidence in our company. Now investors who are waiting to get their funds line up to Tongniu. I have ordered people to delay as much as possible, but everyone knows that investors have the right. We won¡¯t be able to hold back the funds for long!" "Now that the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, if the prices of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures continue to rise, our ultimate end is to file for bankruptcy and liquidation!" As soon as these words came out, the directors here finally couldn''t help but exploded. Kester Phillips resolutely said: "The company must never go bankrupt!" The Philip Family Fund holds a cumulative 27.8% stake in Philip Brothers, which was worth US$1.16 billion when the company¡¯s stock price was normal a month ago. It''s just that the company''s market value has shrunk, and their equity is worth more than 300 million US dollars at the current stock price. Although the loss was heavy, it was still worth somehow? Anyhow, there is some comfort! If Philip Brothers goes bankrupt, then their stock will be worthless. Not only that, once the assets are liquidated after bankruptcy, after the investors have retrieved the funds, if the capital is used to repay the debt, the excess debt will need to be borne by the shareholders. As the largest shareholder of the company, the Philip family fund will bear the largest debt. If there is still a debt of 7.8 billion U.S. dollars after the liquidation, the Philip family fund will need to assume two or three billion U.S. dollars in debt, which is enough to wipe out the Philip family. The Philip family was originally based on the Philip Brothers Company¡¯s rise. It can be said that the equity of the Philip Brothers Company is the greatest wealth of the Philip family. Although many assets have been diversified through dividends over the years, the amount is not too large. After all, not all investments are made. Is successful. Excluding the equity of Philip Brothers, the Philip family''s assets are not much. If Philip Brothers really goes bankrupt, Kester Philip will definitely lose the equity before going bankrupt, even if it¡¯s free! He is very clear that most of the capital of Philip Brothers comes from investors and banks. The company¡¯s net assets are definitely not one billion U.S. dollars. Since Tendler Wells will definitely lose more than one billion U.S. dollars, then as long as the company goes bankrupt, the assets Negative is affirmative. Rather than carrying debts to drag the Philip family into the water, it is better to find a fool to send out the equity. I''m afraid I''m afraid that there will be no fools to ask for it, and I can''t send it out! "Yes, the company cannot go bankrupt!" The appointed director of Bear Stearns also said firmly. Bear Stearns is a Jewish investment bank and cooperates very closely with Philip Brothers. When the latter uses leverage, it often finds Bear Stearns. Now Bear Stearns has borrowed at least $1 billion to Philip Brothers. If Philip Brothers goes bankrupt and Bear Stearns fails to invest, I am afraid that even the borrowings will not be fully recovered. "The company can never go bankrupt, nor can it go bankrupt!" "..." The resident directors of other banks said that they were surprisingly unanimous in their attitudes that they would not allow Philip Brothers to go bankrupt for exactly the same reason. Seeing everyone''s reaction, the corner of Tendler Wells''s mouth, who was sitting above him, disappeared, and he was waiting for this moment! "Now the situation is like this. If the company does not want to go bankrupt, it must obtain sufficient funds, but unfortunately, our company can''t borrow money. No bank will lend us money Speaking of banks, Tendler Wells looked at the directors assigned by the banks. But at this time, these directors all pretended to be deaf and dumb, making it clear that they didn''t want to sink again. Of course, there is still another way to go, that is, all shareholders pay money and inject capital into the company again to increase the company''s total net assets. As long as the company does not become insolvent, it will naturally not go bankrupt. But this method, Tendler Wells knows absolutely impossible, because no shareholder will be willing to inject capital in this situation, even himself, even if his shareholding ratio is only 3.2%. , He is not willing to inject capital again. Even he himself has no confidence, he certainly doesn''t mention it, and other directors naturally also selectively ignore it. For a while, the meeting room became quiet, and the atmosphere became dull and weird. () v3 Chapter 871: The position of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department "The situation has reached the terrible point it is now, and I don''t think the government would want to see us go bankrupt." For a long time, the words of a director broke the silence. The corner of the mouth of Tendler Wells, who was sitting above him, raised slightly, and glanced at the person who spoke vaguely. Kester Phillips lifted his spirits and immediately said: "Yes, now the government has finally managed to curb inflation. Our company''s bankruptcy has the greatest impact on the government. I suggest to see G. William Miller immediately." What he called G. William Miller is the current Secretary of the Treasury of the Carter Administration. Not only that, G. William Miller also served as the only non-Jewish chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1978 to 1979. Although he only served for one year, he also has a lot of close relations with the Federal Reserve. Since the Hunter family''s speculation in silver futures is about to go bankrupt, the Fed can be forced to borrow 1.1 billion US dollars to tide them over. Why can''t Philip Brothers? Thinking of this, Kester Philip was ready to move, his eyes swept across the faces of several bank directors. In particular, the directors assigned by Bear Stearns are the focus of Kester Phillips. If you want the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve to help, it is best to let a group of investment banks come forward. This probability is the greatest. Bear Stearns is a Jewish company. Although Philip Brothers is also a Jewish company, its internal forces have been mixed and its strength is far inferior to the former. It is certainly not as good as Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns has borrowed more than one billion U.S. dollars to Philip Brothers. If Philip Brothers goes bankrupt, in addition to the Philip family''s biggest loss, the second largest company is definitely Bear Stearns. Feeling the eyes cast on him, the directors of Bear Stearns turned black, and his eyes swept across the faces of the people coldly, and said in a righteous voice: ¡°You don¡¯t need to look at me. It¡¯s a good idea to find the Ministry of Finance or the Federal Reserve The solution, but Bear Stearns alone is absolutely impossible to solve, everyone must come forward together!" After speaking, he looked at the headed Tendler Wells and said: "Wells, the company also has large-scale lending business with other investment banks. I suggest you let them come with us." Tendler Wells, who achieved his goal, smiled and nodded and said, "No problem, I don''t think they will refuse." "Then don''t waste time, discuss the specific steps and act as soon as possible." Kester Phillips urged impatiently. The people who reached a consensus immediately discussed it, and soon a complete implementation plan was formed in the mouth of this group of elites. After the meeting, many people rushed to their company immediately, intending to report the real situation of the meeting. Looking at the empty conference room, Tendler Wells looked worried, came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the New York Mercantile Exchange in the distance, and muttered: "I have done what I can do last. If none of this can be resolved, then Philip Brothers will really have to go bankrupt." ... "Miller, long time no see." "Volcker, it looks like your spirit is great." After greeting each other, G. William Miller followed Paul Walker to the living room and brewed coffee. "Miller, they have already looked for you? Did you come as a lobbyist?" Paul Walker said with a smile. He knew that the Treasury Department hadn¡¯t made any big moves near the most critical period of the general election. Now G. William Miller came to visit him suddenly, except for the Phillips Brothers company, he couldn¡¯t think of anything else. . "It seems that they have looked for you too." G. William Miller smiled faintly, then asked with concern. "Volcker, what are you going to do?" Paul Walker smiled, did not answer directly, and asked, "You came with the idea of ??the White House?" G. William Miller grinned stiffly, then he was relieved, and he guessed it at once. "Yes, Mr. President hopes that the market order can return to normal. Only a stable financial order can create greater value for Wall Street and the United States." Paul Volcker smiled unceasingly and said: "The New York Board of Trade and the Commodity Exchange Commission have been involved in the investigation, but as far as the current investigation is concerned, all transactions are legal." Paul Volcker¡¯s attitude made G. William Miller unpredictable. He frowned slightly and solemnly said: ¡°Volcker, the Fed has struggled to curb inflation. If Philip Brothers goes bankrupt, it will affect the entire Wall Street. And the industrial sector will also be affected, and the consequences will conflict with your plan." "Four months ago you were worried about the collapse of the International Metal Investment Corporation. The Federal Reserve loaned 1.1 billion U.S. dollars to the Hunter family. This time, the impact is no less than the last time!" As the **** of President Jimmy Carter, G. William Miller understands the consequences of the collapse of the Philip Brothers Company. The Democratic Party has already fallen into a decline, and a big reason is that inflation has caused the economy to be bad, and voters are dissatisfied with their feet. If the failure of the Philip Brothers Company causes economic turmoil, they will definitely be caught by the Republican Party for wanton attack. Although the final stage of the election has nothing to do with ordinary voters, I am afraid that the Republican Party will use this matter to make a fuss. The reason why he would consider this is because he knew that Jimmy Carter¡¯s think tank had studied the plan overnight and planned to use the rescue of Philip Brothers as an opportunity to gain the support of some Wall Street Jews. The Republican Party has taken advantage of the opportunity in the Middle East to temporarily draw most of the Jewish forces into the Republican camp. If it can split a part of it, it can add some chances to Jimmy Carter''s election. Paul Volcker can be the chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the future can continue until 1987, IQ can definitely be regarded as the world''s top. Although G. William Miller did not say, but he also guessed the real reason why G. William Miller was so anxious. Although he is a German Jew, he may not necessarily save the Philip Brothers Company. The Jews are well-known for their unity in the world, but the most united time is when Israel is involved. In fact, in normal times, it involves their own interests, and they also have different ideas and positions. He knows very well that Philip Brothers is different from the Hunter family, and the time now is too sensitive. Even if he is the chairman of the Federal Reserve, he must also be concerned about some things at this time, such as the Fed¡¯s big position, and his ability to be in G ¡¤ The conditions for William Miller to take office after he was removed from the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve. So in this matter, he had to be more cautious. What''s more, Philip Brothers is not in a hurry when it is not at its most dangerous. I saw Paul Volcker shook his head with embarrassment: "Miller, although I am the chairman of the Federal Reserve, I have to submit to the board for discussion on some major issues. I will immediately convene a think tank to study and submit it to the board. As for The result will take some time." G. William Miller frowned and stared at Paul Volcker with a serious expression: "Volcker, now the situation has reached the most dangerous time. It must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a problem. It¡¯s a disaster, and the Soviet Union hopes we can¡¯t get out of the quagmire.¡± Hearing the Soviet Union, Paul Volcker''s eyes condensed, but he still maintained his position. He said solemnly: "Miller, I''m already thinking about how to resolve this matter safely. You should understand that some things are deeply involved and cannot be resolved so easily. Now how much capital has entered the market on Wall Street. Did you investigate it clearly?" ¡°Last time the Fed rescued the Hunter family for the market, this time if it saves Philip Brothers, then the future economic order will be in trouble. The alligators on Wall Street will repeat this kind of thing unscrupulously, because regardless of the outcome, it will There is the Federal Reserve! Risks and benefits are not equal!" "It is best to leave matters in the financial market to the market to solve it on its own. This will help optimize and develop the financial market." "If it comes to real danger the Fed will perform its duties, but before that, I think what you should think about is how to make adjustments in terms of policy and supervision." G. William Miller looked contemplative before nodding and saying, "What you said makes sense." "However, for the sake of safety, I still hope that you will submit it to the Fed''s board of directors as soon as possible. The fiscal and financial departments will also take corresponding effective measures as soon as possible." Paul Walker nodded and said, "No problem." Then the two chatted for a while, and then G. William Miller found a goodbye. Watching G. William Miller''s car away, Paul Volcker''s gaze was a little surprised. Thinking of the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan consortium, the Jewish consortium, the financial giants on Wall Street, etc., he couldn¡¯t help but press his temples and muttered to himself with some headaches: ¡°It¡¯s really a troublesome thing. Let¡¯s take a look. Maybe there will be some companies right. Philip Brothers is interested. It is undoubtedly the best that the market can resolve it. As long as it doesn¡¯t go bankrupt, anyone who takes over is the best result for me..." v3 Chapter 872: Crash "okay, I get it." "Follow Phillip Brothers!" After speaking, Xia Yu hung up the phone decisively. Seeing the calm expression of the boss Xia Yu, Song Yang was a little at a loss, wanted to ask but didn''t dare to ask. At first, he happened to receive a call from a stranger saying that he wanted to see Xia Yu, so he could only send someone to the operating room to ask the boss Xia Yu to come over. He didn¡¯t expect the boss to just talk a few words and hang up. Lost. Xia Yu glanced at Song Yang, did not explain, and directly ordered: "Order the people below to speed up the shipment of hidden accounts. Do not sell the futures contracts on the open accounts. Arrange now." Song Yang was a little inexplicable, resisting curiosity, nodded and replied: "Yes!" "Boss, I''m leaving now!" After finishing speaking, Song Yang immediately exited the office and walked quickly towards the operation room. After thinking for a while in the office, Xia Yu did not go to the operation room, but left the Galaxy Fund in a low-key manner and drove back home. He went to notify other people and speed up the shipment. On the phone just now, someone has informed him that the senior officials of Phillip Brothers have placed U.S. Treasury Secretary G. William Miller and Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. As for the purpose of the visit, the person who notified him did not say, obviously he did not know. But this information is enough for Xia Yu. He understood that the Phillip Brothers Company was almost dead, and now it is dying. He did not take it lightly, but chose to reduce the risk at the first time to fight against it. The method is to ship as soon as possible, pull other institutions on the ship, and let the giant dogs of Wall Street bite the dogs. The more goods he releases, the more Wall Street institutions will take over, and the less willing to disembark. Maybe some organizations will choose to stop and relieve pressure in terms of millions of profits and pressure, but he does not believe that in the face of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, these institutions will be softened and let go! As long as these institutions are willing to carry it out, it will be difficult to implement the policies issued by the US Treasury Department, and even the policies will die out. Unless they are exchanged for real benefits, the Phillips Brothers will be in trouble. ¡­¡­ 100 million dollars! 200 million dollars! 300 million dollars! After Xia Yu¡¯s order to speed up shipments was sent from New York to the world, one-handed spot and futures contracts began to sell quickly, and large sums of money flowed into the accounts of several Swiss banks that had been prepared, some of which were in Switzerland. After the turnover between banks is transferred out, it flows into the accounts of Jiuding Bank or Chiba Bank in the island country. On a global scale, the fastest clearance is the contract in the island country¡¯s futures market, and the island market is home to Sumitomo Corporation. Even if Xia Yu left the warehouse, it did not cause any turmoil. In the United Kingdom, the Bank of Barings saw the continuously rising prices of LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, just like ants on a hot pot. There is no way to turn around. I beg grandpa to grandma, but no one will give a helping hand for fear of being dragged. Down the quagmire. "The market value has fallen below one billion US dollars, great!" Inside Jiuding Securities in New York, I saw the stock price of Philip Brothers fluctuated from $6.66 to $6.65 per share, and the market value fell below one billion U.S. dollars in an instant. Toby Morton was in agitated mood and couldn''t help but shout out with joy. Xia Yu also couldn''t help but raised his mouth slightly, and thought to himself: "It''s time to do it!" Sure enough, I saw Toby Morton immediately following his previous job deployment and starting to direct the trader to start buying stocks carefully. Xia Yu picked up a copy of the "New York Daily News" on the newspaper shelf next to it and read it, and saw the most conspicuous position on the front page. The bold line of words was very eye-catching. The translation was indeed-Brother Philip The company is about to go bankrupt! Below the big characters, an article with thousands of words was eloquently written, and the true situation and speculation of Philip Brothers were written out with a reasonable basis. Finally, a concluding sentence was added to determine that the Philip Brothers company has been capitalized and there is a high investment risk. , Investors need to pay great attention. "New York Daily News" was already a first-class newspaper with a daily sales of 700,000 copies before Xia Yu acquired it. After optimization and adjustment, it is now even more popular, with daily sales reaching 780,000 copies. The position of such a newspaper clearly downplays Philips Brothers, and one can imagine how bad the impact will be. The market value of Phillip Brothers fell below one billion US dollars this morning, and the "New York Daily News" played a big role. For Phillip Brothers, the nightmare is more than that. With its market value falling below one billion U.S. dollars, long positions in high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures seem to have been encouraged, morale has greatly increased, and the intensity of long positions has increased again. It seems that they want to seize the opportunity. The brother company suppressed it to the end, leaving it without any chance of turning over. Seeing this situation, Song Yang, who has been paying close attention to the market, immediately commanded the trader to increase the intensity of selling the contract. Every time a futures contract is thrown out, it is bought by an unknown institution in an instant, while the Galaxy Fund reaps the beloved money. In addition, Philip Brothers also ushered in a joint investigation by the New York Exchange Commission and the New York Mercantile Exchange. Whether it was an investigation team sent under pressure from public opinion is still unknown, but since the two official agencies have come forward to investigate, there must be a result. Investors have the right to know the true situation of Philip Brothers. If Philip Brothers is truly insolvent and there is a major risk, then Philip Brothers will definitely be monitored by the New York Mercantile Exchange to prevent management and shareholders from transferring assets. Philip Brothers. Watching the investigating team walk into the operation room and the finance office respectively, Tendler Wells closed his eyes in despair. Different from the investigation team investigating the Galaxy Fund, the situation at Philip Brothers is more serious, so the investigation team cannot be stopped at all. Tendler Wells knows very well that the company is really insolvent. As long as the investigation team carefully checks the financial income and expenditure and investment accounts, it will soon discover the true situation. Through the glass, watching the reporters squatting downstairs, Tendler Wells sighed and ordered the secretary to call the directors of the company one by one. The investigation team suddenly attacked. The matter has come to an end. He has nothing to do. Let the directors prepare. If any director can make a desperate turnaround and let the ambiguous Fed offer a helping hand, then Philip Brothers will still be rescued, otherwise the day of bankruptcy will not be far away. Time passed, and more and more directors rushed over, but the people in this group of investigation team just didn''t get in, so they only knew that they were investigating. Finally, around five o''clock in the afternoon, the investigation team finally stopped. There was no face-to-face feedback. Before leaving, the leader of the investigation team left only one sentence to Tendler Wells: "The Phillip Brothers company¡¯s deposit has been completely consumed, and the 23 million USD deposit must be Fill it up within 24 hours, otherwise the exchange will forcibly intervene." After finishing speaking, the investigation team left without any muddle. But just this sentence changed the expressions of everyone present. There is a margin gap of 23 million U.S. dollars. When the market opens tomorrow, this supplementary figure will only increase. But my family knows their own affairs, Philip Brothers is really out of money! Is the company unable to escape bankruptcy? ! Looking at Kester Phillips who was in a trance, Tendler Wells clenched his fists, but finally let go weakly. Everything happened too fast, and they were already sentenced to death before their plan could be implemented. Then, a group of heavy-minded people walked into the conference room and had a meeting again. The results of the meeting were terrible The directors were unwilling to contribute money to help the company tide over the difficulties. Obviously, in the face of the Fed and the US Treasury Department¡¯s indifference, they finally chose to give up and use the cost of destruction to force the government and the Fed to make a choice. The next day, the bulls became even more frantic. The floating losses of Philip Brothers continued to expand. The positive insurance gap easily exceeded US$30 million and went to US$40 million. Seeing that Philip Brothers did not act, the New York Mercantile Exchange issued repeated warnings to no avail, and directly chose to intervene forcibly, temporarily depriving Philip Brothers of trading seats, and at the same time reported to the New York Board of Exchange, requesting the freezing of the assets of Philip Brothers. There is no way, the New York Mercantile Exchange cannot help Philip Brothers to liquidate the position. After all, the latter is a short position. If the position is forcibly closed, the New York Mercantile Exchange needs to pay money. I can¡¯t get the deposit back, so why would I spend my brain to help Phillip Brothers liquidate the position? To liquidate the position, the assets of Phillip Brothers are also used to liquidate the position! When a large number of New York Board of Exchange staff re-entered Phillip Brothers, a large group of reporters swarmed. Knowing that the New York Board of Trade had come to block Phillip Brothers, the reporters immediately rioted. They knew what this meant. Soon after, the news spread across Wall Street quickly, and the Philip Brothers Company was insolvent and collapsed! v3 Chapter 873: Stock price crash, strategic adjustment "Philip Brothers has entered the countdown to death!" Solomon Brothers, when he heard his subordinates report the actions of the New York Exchange Commission and the New York Mercantile Exchange against Philip Brothers, John Goufran looked gloomy and said with emotion for a long time. At this moment, he has a feeling of sadness. Although the Phillips Brothers Company has not fallen yet, in the eyes of John Gufran, it is almost falling. He inquired that Philip Brothers could not even replenish the exchange deposits overdue. The board of directors can look directly at this point. It shows that the internal situation of Philip Brothers is worse than outsiders thought. How bad does it need to be before they can choose to give up! So in John Gooflan¡¯s view, Philip Brothers is out of help. Even if it is rescued, Philip Brothers will undergo essential changes. If it changes its name, it will be another company. If you can''t save it, you will be dismembered, and the old financial company of 60 or 70 years will disappear. "Hey, falling down deserves it, just let our company follow the bad luck..." Thinking of this, John Gufran looked gloomy and had the urge to rush to Albert Raphael¡¯s house tonight to beat him up. If it weren''t for Albert Raphael, how could Salomon Brothers be like this! Although it will not go bankrupt for the time being, it still has serious losses. If the Philip Brothers company collapses, most of the pressure will be transferred to their company. "There must be a problem, maybe it''s the conspiracy of the Chicago Consortium..." "Forget it, things have reached this point, there is no need to explore the reasons anymore, it is better to buy the futures contract to stop the loss as soon as possible..." After thinking about it, John Gufran walked to the operating room immediately. ¡­¡­ "Boss, the stock price of Philip Brothers has crashed, should we stop buying stocks temporarily?" As he walked quickly to the operation room of Jiuding Securities Company, Toby Morton told Xia Yu. Xia Yu kept walking and said blankly: "Look at the specific situation first." Toby Morton stopped talking, and followed Xia Yu to the operating room. Xia Yu even looked at the trading board, and it turned out to be red, and it fell almost vertically, with little fluctuation. Look at the latest stock price after the jump. Good guy, the stock price has fallen to US$4.02 per share, and the market value is US$603 million, which is about to fall below US$600 million. (Ooo)... Just as Xia Yu was stunned, the stock price had fallen to $3.92. Correspondingly, the market value of Philip Brothers officially fell below $600 million. And the stock price is still falling all the way, obviously the market has panic and is rushing to sell out first. But there are not many stupid people in Wall Street institutions. It is clear that Philip Brothers is still going down, how could it take over. And now that Philip Brothers has been linked to bankruptcy, as long as it is officially determined that it will go bankrupt, the stock will be forced out of the market in a short time, and now it is the amount of money that you buy. "Boss, the Phillips Brothers company is in an unexpected situation. The plan we made before is no longer in line with it. I suggest that we temporarily stop the stock acquisition and wait and see." Seeing the boss recover, Toby Morton said immediately. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "You are right. I didn''t expect Philip Brothers to fall so suddenly. Stop the acquisition. It is estimated that the New York Stock Exchange will suspend the listing of Philip Brothers'' stock in the near future, and wait for that time to buy. " Xia Yu is not a **** either. This time he misestimated the determination of Philip Brothers to resist and underestimated the extent of their losses. It is normal to think about it. Let alone Xia Yu as an outsider, it is estimated that the directors of Philip Brothers may not know the real assets of the company. After all, no company will be idle and painful to count the company¡¯s assets in real time, let alone Established companies have more dark sides, without comprehensive statistics, it is difficult to figure out how many messy assets there are. Before the New York Board of Trade and the U.S. Board of Trade were able to make a conclusion after investigating in one day, it was not because all the assets had been fully calculated, but the losses of Philip Brothers were too large. Only rough statistics on the assets can be used to calculate the approximate figures. is just a rough figure, enough to draw a conclusion, after all, the loss is too big! However, the premature collapse of Phillips Brothers is more beneficial to Xia Yu. Just like now, if you want to acquire more than 20% of the equity, how can you save tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Just then, an employee walked over quickly, and Xia Yu and Toby Morton turned to look. I saw the employees respectfully greeted them and said: "Boss, manager, the latest news, the official gave Philip Brothers a week, they must pay off the due debts within a week, and pay the security deposit on time. If you do If it fails, it will be judged that Philip Brothers is insolvent, and the government will intervene further." "Anything else?" Toby Morton looked at Xia Yu, and then asked the employee. "No more." The employee shook his head and said, Toby Morton encouraged him to continue paying attention to the news. "Boss, the next week seems to be the most critical period, what should we do?" Toby Morton looked at Xia Yu and asked, waiting for his instructions. Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "When something happened to Phillip Brothers, high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures went up even more frantically. Relying on them alone is absolutely impossible to avoid. It depends on bankruptcy reorganization or bankruptcy liquidation, the best result. It means reorganization after an organization takes over." In fact, there are two situations in a company''s bankruptcy proceedings, one is bankruptcy reorganization, and the other is bankruptcy liquidation. The two are very different. Bankruptcy reorganization is to save the continuation of the enterprise, and bankruptcy liquidation is the procedure after the elimination of the enterprise. The purpose of the former is to actively prevent the debtor¡¯s bankruptcy and reflect the function of its property appreciation, while the purpose of bankruptcy liquidation is to passively and fairly distribute the debtor¡¯s property, which reflects the function of distributing the property after bankruptcy. If it is bankruptcy and reorganization, Philip Brothers will still exist as long as it does not change its name, and the bankruptcy liquidation will disappear in a true sense. Although the U.S. Exchange Commission and the New York Exchange Commission gave Philip Brothers a week, Xia Yu was sure that it could not escape. Although the common cause of bankruptcy is the failure to pay off the due debts, this is a common situation, and more importantly, two criteria are used to judge. The first is whether the debtor has the immediate ability to pay off the due debt; the second is whether the debtor¡¯s assets are sufficient to cover all its debts (whether due or not). According to the current situation, even if the debt of Philip Brothers is not due, it can be judged to be insolvent, because the company is already insolvent and belongs to the second form. Not to mention that Xia Yu has already inquired that the debts between Philip Brothers and the two financial institutions are about to expire. The cumulative total of more than 400 million U.S. dollars is not easy to take out, and no company is willing to take over the debt. . In addition to creditors, Philip Brothers has to face the problem of investors getting back funds. Before entering the formal asset liquidation process, investors can get back the funds As long as Phillip Brothers Agree to give, money to give! But when it enters the formal asset liquidation, the company¡¯s assets are frozen. At this time, the issue of asset allocation is involved. No matter whether it is an investor or a creditor, no application for asset recovery can be filed. So it is conceivable that in the next week, Philip Brothers will be overcrowded and surrounded by investors claiming funds. Regardless of whether it is given or not, Philip Brothers will collapse more quickly. After considering these, Xia Yu judged that the share price of Philip Brothers was still falling, and it was possible to drop to two or three billion US dollars. So he thought about it for a moment, and told Toby Morton: "Torby, you first make the following preparations: first, investigate the latest shareholder situation of Phillip Brothers; second, be ready to bet on the conversion agreement. Cash replaces stocks to complete the gambling agreement; third, we are ready to suspend the listing of Philip Brothers and we will take over the stock offline." "I have only one purpose, to take down Philip Brothers!" v3 Chapter 874: Start acquisition Chapter 874 The situation is just as Xia Yu expected, Philip Brothers is surrounded by investors, and investors are clamoring to get their funds back, even if they don¡¯t want any income as long as the principal! But in the case that Philip Brothers can''t even get the deposit, how can I get the funds for investors to claim back? Therefore, Tendler Wells and many other high-level executives are very busy. On the one hand, they are constantly coping with the investors who come to the door, trying their best to calm their emotions. On the other hand, they are also clearing out low-yielding investments and pulling back their funds. As for the projects with better investment conditions, they have not yet been cleared. Because Tendler Wells and others know very well that the company still has a certain value at present, but if all items are cleared, it will accelerate its own death and cut off the possibility of a comeback, because it will lose all value. After all, Philip Brothers is actually insolvent, and all assets are cleared at the normal price, which is not enough to repay all debts. When there is an empty shell and a group of employees waiting to be paid, the fool will take over! New York may lack something, but there is no shortage of financial talents. The financial profession is the first profession that Americans yearn for. There are too many middle- and lower-level financial talents. The top elites may not worry about food, but the middle- and lower-level personnel are too replaceable, and powerful large financial institutions are the least lacking. The lower-level talents, as long as the recruitment signal is sent, applicants are like clouds! When dealing with these matters, Philip Brothers still did not give up hope. Various directors frequently wandered Wall Street, trying to find someone to take over. Phillip Brothers has the reputation of being a leading futures company. It has accumulated a lot of background information in the past six to seventy years. Of course, some institutions are interested in it, but they did not dare to take that step without knowing the true liabilities. After all, Philip Brothers is valuable, but if the value is not enough to cover the debt, it will lose money if it takes over! What''s more, it is not risk-free to take over. With the current market situation of the futures market, taking over is not necessarily a mess, and it is easy to be dragged down if you are not careful. In the face of this situation, many organizations secretly promoted intelligence sharing, layer by layer on the bottom of Phillip Brothers, and at the same time pushed the investigation team to first calculate the assets of Phillip Brothers in an attempt to obtain the most true business intelligence. In a blink of an eye is the seventh day! Kester Phillips, with a complex mood of anticipation and anxiety, once again entered the Fed¡¯s office building, and after waiting a few minutes, he met Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. "Mr. Walker, sorry for taking your time." Kester Philip put his posture very low, and said apologetically. Paul Walker smiled and said, "It doesn''t matter, I just happen to be not busy!" "Mr. Volcker, I don''t know if the proposal you made the last time has resulted?" Kester Phillips was impatient, and asked straight into the subject, his eyes filled with anxiety. He came to the Fed three days ago and also met Paul Volcker, hoping to get help from the Fed to help Phillip Brothers tide over the difficulties. Paul Walker did not give a clear answer at the time, but said that he could propose to the committee and give him a reply later. But there has been no result in the past few days. Today is the last day. Of course Kester Philip is anxious, so he visited again. Paul Walker groaned, looking at the hopeful look in Kester Philip¡¯s eyes. He shook his head slowly, and said as Kester Philip¡¯s eyes dimmed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Philip, this proposal was not approved.¡± Kester Philip smiled barely, he pursed his lips, and asked unwillingly, "Can I know the reason?" Paul Volcker''s mind came up with the scene of the discussion on the committee yesterday. He glanced at Kester Phillips, shook his head and refused: "I''m sorry, this involves the internal secrets of the Federal Reserve." It is not only that he, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, is unwilling to intervene, but also because of the great opposition within the committee. As for the real objections of those bigwigs, Paul Volcker can guess a little, but he wisely chose to ignore it. Although he is the chairman of the Federal Reserve, he has greater powers than the President of the United States in financial policy, but he still has to respect the opinions of the vice chairman, executive committee and 12 Federal Reserve Bank chairmen. He is very clear about the nature of the Federal Reserve and his own truth. position. Such a financial policy does not involve general directions, and it is obvious that the big boss has calculations. It is good to mention it. He will never actively intervene and confront, otherwise he is likely to be like the former Fed chairman, that is, the current chairman. Like Treasury Secretary G. William Miller, he was replaced after a year of work. And he agreed to the proposal, which is also a kind of temptation. He secretly took the opportunity to observe some situations. After all, he has only been in office for a year, and he still needs to further understand the complicated relationship within the Fed. "Oh, I''m sorry for making such an unreasonable request." I didn''t get the answer I wanted. Although I had expected it, Kester Philip was inevitably more lost. Seeing Paul Walker looking at him calmly, Kester Phillips thought for a while and took a deep breath, and decisively said goodbye. Paul Walker just sent him out of the office door, and then turned to deal with his work. He also needs to find ways to adjust financial policies to further stimulate the US economic market. Let¡¯s talk about Kester Phillips. Before he was about to board the car, he looked back at the headquarters of the Federal Reserve, clenched his fists for a long time, and finally loosened it weakly, sullenly facing the car. "Go back to the company first!" ¡­¡­ As night fell, anyone who paid close attention to Philip Brothers knew that Philip Brothers did not seize this last opportunity. Sure enough, early the next morning, the New York Supreme Court issued an order to freeze the assets of Phillip Brothers, and Phillip Brothers officially entered the asset liquidation process. Subsequently, Deloitte was appointed to take the lead in formulating the asset liquidation plan The liquidation team composed of the management of Dewey Lubo International Law Firm, Standard & Poor''s, New York Exchange Commission, and Phillip Brothers Asset liquidation and announcement. Then, the New York Stock Exchange temporarily delisted Phillip Brothers. The stock price of Phillip Brothers is fixed at US$1.58 per share, and the market value is fixed at US$237 million! When the market closed yesterday, the share price of Philip Brothers was still at $1.87 per share, but because it was determined that Philip Brothers would be liquidated today, the market opened in the morning and the stock price opened drastically. Investors who did not report a fluke were even more determined. Up. But it is useless to give up, the stock is still no one to take over. With the temporary delisting of Philip Brothers, investors'' funds are locked in half. If you want to go public again, you can only wait for Philip Brothers to become profitable again, but just think about it. Up. The remaining half may depend on whether there is an institution willing to buy from these investors offline. As for the price, it depends on the psychological price of both buyers and sellers. The market value of 237 million U.S. dollars is already very low. To be on the safe side, Xia Yu immediately ordered Toby Morton to dispatch. When all eyes were on the asset liquidation of Phillip Brothers, the employees of Jiuding Securities Company secretly took the shareholder list and the prepared acquisition plan according to the group, and found the shareholders on the list. v3 Chapter 875: Gambler psychology "Mr. Morton, you are here this time, are you ready to return the equity and end the bet?" Edward Jefferson, general manager of the Thunder Company, said stiffly, without giving Toby Morton a good face. This is also normal. After all, the Thunder Company had previously gambled with Jiuding Securities Company to hold 5.85 million shares of Philip Brothers, which accounted for 3.9% of the company¡¯s total shares. At that time, it was worth 163 million. One million U.S. dollars. But who knows that by now, the share price of Philip Brothers has fallen to $1.58 per share, and the listing has been suspended by the New York Stock Exchange. The 5.85 million shares held by Thunder are calculated based on the final share price. , The most is worth 9.24 million US dollars. In such a short period of time, the gap is so big, how can you not make Edward Jefferson angry? Thunder is just a Wall Street investment bank that can reach a large scale, with an annual net profit of about 150 million US dollars. But this time, I planted a big somersault on the stock of Philip Brothers, and lost all the net profit of the previous year. Although there are reasons for my own judgment and too optimistic about Philip Brothers, it faces direct benefits. Predator, it''s weird that Edward Jefferson had a good face. Toby Morton doesn''t care about Edward Jefferson''s attitude. He has cheated the other side and can''t allow the other side to have opinions? He smiled and said, "Mr. Jefferson, I am here this time to help your company a little favor." Edward Jefferson laughed angrily, leaned back on the chair, and looked up at Toby Morton, wanting to know what flowers he could tell. "Mr. Morton, today is not April Fool''s Day, and I have no time to joke with you." Toby Morton said with a serious expression, "I''m not kidding, you might as well listen to me first." Edward Jefferson paid a little attention to it, and looked at Toby Morton with scrutiny. then heard him say: "Now the New York Stock Exchange has suspended the listing of Philip Brothers. According to normal procedures, it will take at least one year for Philip Brothers to be listed again, but only if it is financially healthy and profitable one year later." "It''s just that based on the current situation, it''s hard to say whether Philip Brothers can continue to exist." "So the 5.85 million shares of your company have been trapped." Seeing Toby Morton pause, Edward Jefferson sneered and asked, "So what?" Toby Morton said with a smile: "So I plan to help your company unwind and recover the remaining funds. The method is that our company directly buys the stocks held by your company and changes the gambling agreement. Repay your stocks, but directly replace them with cash." Edward Jefferson was taken aback for a moment, frowned and looked at Toby Morton, and said immediately: "This is not impossible, but your company''s bid must not be less than 20 million US dollars!" Toby Morton narrowed his smile, looked at Edward Jefferson like a knife, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Jefferson, your request is too ridiculous!" "You should be very clear that Philip Brothers is already insolvent. Its stock has ceased to circulate and has lost its value. Even at the price of the market, your equity is only worth 9.24 million US dollars. If you don¡¯t get out of the market, prices will only fall even lower." "In our opinion, the value of five million dollars is high. You told me that it was worth twenty million dollars. You are kidding." Edward Jefferson said coldly: "I''m not kidding, if you want it, you must bid 20 million dollars!" "Not long ago, the equity we held was worth more than $160 million." After all, Edward Jefferson is not reconciled. He has a thorn in his heart. He is extremely wary of Toby Morton, so he subconsciously does not want to lower his head. Even at the current market price, the highest price would only be 9.24 million US dollars. Although the money is not a small amount, but thinking of the loss of more than 100 million US dollars, he thinks about the big deal and gamble again. Maybe Phillip Brothers can survive it? Although this chance is small, he still intends to take a gamble. The price of 20 million U.S. dollars, although he really wants to sell, it also hides his temptation. If Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is willing to buy it in the face of the 20 million U.S. dollars he opened, there must be information that he doesn''t know. Instead, he wants to continue to hold it for a turnaround. Anyway, it has fallen to the bottom, and it won¡¯t fall anywhere anymore. Don¡¯t worry about more lice! It is a pity that Toby Morton could not agree. I saw Toby Morton''s face turned cold, and he retorted: "Mr. Jefferson, you also know that it was in the past. The financial market is changing rapidly. I know you may feel uncomfortable, but for the Thunder, the best The situation is to choose to accept reality and minimize losses, right?" "Don''t ask for an outrageous price. I will give you a price of seven million dollars. If you are unwilling, then we can only talk about it today." "I believe that I can buy stocks from other investors at a lower price, and the big deal is to repay the stocks directly to your company." "The reason why I proposed to end the gambling with cash is not only to ease the relationship with Thunder, but more importantly, I am too troublesome to spend time and energy on purchasing stocks." Edward Jefferson frowned, and he was a little hesitant in the face of Toby Morton''s cold attitude. But the hesitation lasted only three seconds, he was cruel, and he decided to gamble. Anyway, he has lost so much, he will face being criticized by the directors on the board of directors, and may even be fired. Even if he gets back less than ten million dollars, his guilt will not be reduced much. It''s better to give it a go. Maybe Philip Brothers has a turnaround, and he can find a way out for himself. "I am also short on time. I don''t have so much time to waste. Eighteen million dollars. This is my bottom line." Edward Jefferson said firmly. Toby Morton looked at him for a moment, retracted his gaze, shook his head slightly and stood up and said: "Well, Mr. Jefferson, you might as well think about it again. I''ll wait for your news in three days." "You are busy at work, I won''t bother too much." After finishing speaking, he simply turned around and left. He bid 7 million U.S. dollars, Edward Jefferson also bid 18 million U.S. dollars, no matter how you talk about it, it will exceed 12 million U.S. dollars. This is absolutely impossible! According to the current market value of Phillip Brothers, the value of this stock will definitely be less than nine million dollars. If he buys more than 10 million US dollars, it will make the market turbulent again, and the subsequent stocks will be even more difficult to acquire. The frustration at the Thunder did not hit Toby Morton. After he came out, he immediately moved to the next target. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. He must speed up his actions and buy as many shares of Philip Brothers as possible before others react. In the next acquisition, of course, there are also the same options as Thunder, but most of them chose to accept the plant and sell the stock at the "high price" given by Jiuding Securities. Three days later. "Boss, UU reading as of the latest progress, the company has acquired 41.1 million shares of Phillip Brothers, accounting for 27.4%, and the total cost is 5,836. Ten thousand U.S. dollars!" "Now it is known from the outside that our company is acquiring shares of Philip Brothers. They are all mocking our company''s stupid behavior, and no institution has interfered." "Now that the liquidation process is still going, there are more news coming out, but they are all harmful news to Philip Brothers." Toby Morton reported the latest situation to Xia Yu in the office. Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and said in praise: "The results are very good, you have worked hard." "No hard work, this is my duty!" Toby Morton said with a smile. Xia Yu¡¯s eyes flashed with satisfaction, and after thinking about it, he said, ¡°Now that the outside world laughs at it, let¡¯s laugh at it. The bankrupt Philip Brothers company may be a tasteless and burden for them, but it is very valuable to us.¡± "Next, you have to seize the opportunity to acquire as many stocks as possible without hiding it. Now those major shareholders, you can send someone to get in touch with them and try to buy their equity. I believe some people can''t wait to get out of this quagmire immediately. Just help them once." Toby Morton laughed immediately and nodded again and again: "I understand, I will execute it immediately." "Well, go, do it!" v3 Chapter 876: Important news unexpectedly "Hey... Mr. Jefferson, how are you thinking about it?" "..." "Well, if you change your mind later, you can contact me, provided that at that time our company has not acquired enough equity." "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Toby Morton sneered and put the matter behind. Edward Jefferson of the Thunder Company is obviously not giving up. If it is not helpful, let him continue to wait. Anyway, the time limit for the return of the equity of the gambling agreement is still very long. Toby Morton believes that the equity of Philip Brothers will return. Some fell. In equity gambling, the borrower of equity is more free. As long as the equity is returned within the agreement period, the lender has no right to urge. Even if the Thunder company wants to rely on the equity not to let go, he is not afraid. According to the plan that the boss told him, unless the Thunder company has the courage to call, otherwise the current 3.9% of the equity will be diluted to a very low level. proportion. Subsequently, he continued to get busy with the equity acquisition. The financial market is globally interoperable, not to mention that Xia Yu secretly manipulated the copper and aluminum markets, which had a huge impact. As the US futures giant Philip Brothers entered the bankruptcy process, I don''t know how many people''s eyes were shocked. The British media focused on the hot spots and focused public opinion on the Bank of Barings, and the bankruptcy suspicion clouded the Bank of Barings. Following this, the stock price of Baring Bank plummeted. Investors scrambled to flee, as if they were afraid that Bank of Bahrain would repeat the mistakes of Philip Brothers and cause the funds to be locked up. As a result, the price of Bahrain Bank''s stock, which is already in a dilemma of public opinion and whose stock price has fallen, has fallen more rapidly. When interviewed by the media, the Bank of England, which actually governs all banks in the UK, expressed great concern about this matter. Just when George Berkeley seized the opportunity to short the Bank of Barings, a message sent by Yanagawa Shuren of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. made him take it seriously. When G¡¤S¡¤Huabao shorted LME zinc futures, LME nickel futures, and LME lead futures, Sumitomo Corporation received a call asking them to give up long LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. Sumitomo Corporation did not agree. This news was informed by Sumitomo Corporation a long time ago to George Berkeley, and it also made George Berkeley vigilant at one time, and reported the situation to Xia Yu. It¡¯s just that G¡¤S¡¤Warburg did not short LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. It seemed that it was just making a fortune in the futures market. The focus was still on the investment banking field. George Berkeley gradually relaxed his vigilance. Pay attention to it again. However, Sumitomo Corporation was not reconciled. Sumitomo Keigo paid a high price for an intelligence gathering organization, and he actually found some information. That was when G¡¤S¡¤Warburg was short-selling frantically, someone had seen members of the Lowhill family go there many times, but their whereabouts were very hidden. But after all, the City of London is the financial center of the United Kingdom, and G¡¤S¡¤Warburg is also a British financial giant. There are too many people walking around here, and there are always some people who can recognize Evelyn Lowhill. Myself. When it comes to the Rohill family, George Berkeley has to pay attention. He immediately summoned the company''s elite, deduced all the possibilities, and then called Xia Yu. "...Boss, I suspect that the Bank of Barings suddenly shorted LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures, which has something to do with the Rothschild family." Hearing George Berkeley''s report and speculation in the receiver, Xia Yu couldn''t help but contemplate. George Berkeley may not know the tension between the Rohill family and the Bahrain family, so he gave this guess. But think about it, it''s not impossible. In his free time, there are indeed many doubts about what happened during the thinking period from time to time. For example, why Philip Brothers suddenly confronted the Galaxy Fund and still looks like a deadlock. Why did G¡¤S¡¤Huabao suddenly jumped out and strongly targeted his ally Sumitomo Corporation, and Sumitomo Corporation also received threats. And why the Bank of Barings also suddenly joined forces with Philip Brothers to short LME copper futures and LME aluminum futures. There are too many doubts like this. Now I suddenly heard George Berkeley say that during the crazy short selling period of GS Warburg, he actually saw the Rohill family go to GS Warburg, and Xia Yu subconsciously thought about this. It seems that every key company has something to do with the Rohill family. Philip Brothers, Salomon Brothers, and G¡¤S Warburg all have a unified characteristic and are all Jewish companies. Moreover, with the memory of a previous life boss, Xia Yu also knows some relatively secret information, that is, the Philip family and the Warburg family are closely related to the Rohill family. As for the Bahrain Bank, the relationship between the Bahrain family and the Roshir family behind it is not harmonious, and it should even be said that it is a little nervous. Think about it in another way. If he were Jacob Lowhill, he would be happy to see the Bank of Bahrain fall, but he didn''t want Philip Brothers, Salomon Brothers, and GS Warburg to fall. Divided by time period, in this struggle to affect the global futures market, Philip Brothers entered the market early, while Salomon Brothers and Baring Bank entered the market in the mid-term, while G¡¤S¡¤Warburg did not enter the market. However, in the middle and late stages, he fought against Xia Yu¡¯s ally Sumitomo Corporation. In fact, he was surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, and essentially rescuing the Bank of Bahrain. "No, G¡¤S¡¤Huabao is weakening the strength of the bulls and rescuing the bears, not necessarily helping the Bank of Bahrain!" Xia Yu suddenly condensed his eyes, his brain diverged, and an outrageous guess appeared in his mind. "It seems that regardless of whether the Barings Bank wins or loses, it is for the Roshir family that they are happy to see. In the case of the Barings Bank, does the Roshir family play any role?" "If the Rothschild family really conspired with G¡¤S¡¤Huabao, or hid behind the scenes against Sumitomo Corporation, it would be reasonable for Sumitomo Corporation to fail so quickly. Although G¡¤S¡¤Huabao is a financial giant, But the homepage is not in the futures market, so there is no reason to beat Sumitomo Corporation so badly in such a short period of time!" "..." "Boss, are you still listening?" Xia Yu thought for a long time, and George Berkeley was a little bit confused by not speaking, so he tentatively asked and awakened Xia Yu. Fortunately, Xia Yu has already thought of a lot of things. Although some places are not round, it is enough for him to make a decision. It''s always right to be cautious! "George, listen, there is a very important thing for you to do now You can contact Duke Carter Howard as soon as possible and ask him to initiate an investigation to find out why the Bank of Bahrain would short LME copper futures With LME aluminum futures, whose proposal was it, did the proposer or executor have any contact with the Rohill family during this period, or whether the proposer and the executor might have contact with the Rohill family." "If the investigation is completed, tell me as soon as possible, maybe we have to adjust the plan." "That''s it, do you have anything else?" "Not for the time being, boss, I''ll do what you arranged right away." George Berkeley''s steady voice came from the receiver. "Well, let''s do this first, call me as soon as there is an emergency." After speaking, Xia Yu hung up the phone. He brewed a cup of tea, leaned back on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, and continued thinking. () v3 Chapter 877: Sudden change The words from George Berkeley really attracted the attention of Duke Carter Howard, who immediately mobilized all the power of the Howard family to investigate the matter. In this investigation, Curtis Bard, senior manager of the metals trading department of the futures investment department of Barings Bank, and George Monroe, manager of the risk assessment department, were easily found. After some consideration, Duke Carter Howard focused on the instigator Curtis Budd. Time passed slowly. Just as Duke Carter Howard was fully investigating, the liquidation of Phillip Brothers in the United States made great progress. Generally speaking, the bankruptcy liquidation process of listed companies is cumbersome and time-consuming. But there are exceptions to everything. For example, Philip Brothers, which is now in the center of public opinion. It coincides with the final stage of the general election! During Jimmy Carter''s administration, the policies and stability of the financial market were constantly criticized. Even if he later strongly suppressed gold futures and saved himself a trace of face, he was still constantly criticized. Faced with similar problems in the futures market, Jimmy Carter wants to solve it as soon as possible and prove himself with practical actions. It is not that the media said that he is not decisive enough. Therefore, under the pressure transmission of layers, the liquidation team has continuously increased its manpower, and the work progressed very quickly. Even the management of Philip Brothers is very cooperative. Without him, who makes advanced copper futures and aluminum futures still increase in price? The account of Philip Brothers has been locked. Facing the continued upward trend, the longer it drags on, the greater the loss of Philip Brothers. The board of directors has not reported any hope, and only hopes to complete the liquidation as soon as possible, so as to respond in a targeted manner. The data of the liquidation is continuously aggregated, and the Philip Brothers Company is gradually unveiled. When the preliminary liquidation results came out, Wall Street shook. Phillip Brothers has a controlled capital of 6.72 billion U.S. dollars, its own assets of 975 million U.S. dollars, a loss of 1,264 million U.S. dollars, and a net asset of negative 289 million U.S. dollars ! Philip Brothers has negative assets and insolvency! This result tore the last trace of luck for many investors, for example, Edward Jefferson of the Thunder Company was one of them. After the results were announced, the liquidation team announced that it would conduct a review again, and the results of the review still need to wait for some time. But almost everyone knows that this result is true. Even if it is reviewed, it will not fluctuate much. After all, looking at the members of the liquidation team, you can see that they will never make low-level mistakes unless they are willing to smash their own signs. ... "Mr. Philip, how are you thinking about it?" Toby Morton asked with a smile, looking at Kester Phillips, whose expression changed. After the liquidation team released the data, Philip Brothers was hit hard again. If its stocks were not suspended from circulation, then the stock price would definitely plummet. But it doesn''t matter if it is not listed. Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. Although they are different, they are almost everywhere. So Toby Morton approached Kester Phillips for the second time. Last time, it was because of the price issue that there was no agreement, but this time, Toby Morton believed that Kester Philip would give up. He is confident that he will reach a preliminary agreement today. Sure enough, Kester Phillips recovered, looked at Toby Morton, took a deep breath, and slowly nodded: "Mr. Morton, can I ask you two questions before reaching a cooperation? " Toby Morton raised his brows, nodded and said: "As long as I know it, and no confidential information is involved, I can answer you." Kester Phillips looked at Toby Morton with scorching eyes and asked, "What is the relationship between Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities? What are you going to do after acquiring our company?" Toby Morton pondered for a moment, and solemnly said: "First of all, the first question is that Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities do have some connections. They belong to partners with a certain relationship, but what I want to say is that you don¡¯t need to be hostile. We, because from the very beginning, Philip Brothers specifically targeted the Galaxy Fund. You picked things first, but you lost in this fight. You have to complain, and you should also blame the initiator and executor of this fight. " "The second question, after all, our company is a newcomer to Wall Street, and its development is relatively slow, so I plan to take a gamble to see if Philip Brothers can be rescued. At any rate, it is also the leader of the futures market and disappeared in the long river of history. It''s a shame." "I don''t think Mr. Philip would want to see it disappear like this." "My two answers, don''t you know if Mr. Philip is satisfied?" Kester Philip sighed and said in an imploring tone: "I only hope that after you take over, you can retain the name of Philip Brothers as much as possible." Toby Morton nodded immediately and said: "Of course, this is a sign with a huge reputation. It not only represents the honor of the Philip family, but also represents the history of the rise of the futures market. I like this name in my heart." Anyway, it''s the time, and there is no loss in holding a few words in his mouth. As for what to do later, Kester Phillips can''t control at all. Of course Toby Morton follows his heart. Kester Philip''s face eased, stood up, and reached out to Toby Morton. Toby Morton immediately got up, reached out to shake hands with him, smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Philip for his generosity!" Although a preliminary agreement has been reached, in order to have a real legal effect, a third party must be hired for justice. After all, the assets of the Philip Brothers Company have been frozen, and the Philip Family Fund is again the largest shareholder, and the equity transfer is too sensitive. The following day, representatives of the New York Exchange Commission arrived and stated the position of the New York Exchange Commission before signing the agreement and stated the responsibilities and obligations of Jiuding Securities. Of course Toby Morton had no objection, and all agreed. Kester Philip was even more okay. Under the spotlight, the three parties signed the tripartite agreement. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. invested 27.8 million US dollars to buy 41.7 million shares of Philip Brothers originally held by the Philip Family Fund and assume the corresponding Legal liability. That evening, many evening papers on Wall Street and New York used the photo of Kester Phillips shaking hands with Toby Morton as the cover, rethinking the matter, and major television stations also reported the news. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has gained great reputation! Institutions and stockholders who had originally ignored Jiuding Securities had a keen interest in it. Of course, the major media would not miss the opportunity to mobilize their own forces to dig out all the news about Jiuding Securities. Xia Yu¡¯s "New York Daily News" takes the lead, introducing Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. from the glorious history of its rise to the present, and the whole story is positive, and it gives a heavy title. "Miracle Creator". After understanding, many investors are considering whether to hand over the funds to Jiuding Securities. These changes made Toby Morton delighted and had the urge to immediately build a private equity fund. Fortunately, he knew what was more important, suppressed the commotion in his heart, and was ready to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the victory and take advantage of the other shareholders of Philip Brothers. Just as Toby Morton overwhelmed Edward Jefferson of the Thunder and was so energetic, the news returned by one of the company''s acquisition teams made him feel good. Immediately afterwards, the news that other acquisition teams kept hitting the wall came back, and he realized that something went wrong! PS: The cervical and lumbar vertebrae have been protruding for a period of time, and the nerves have been compressed. Today, it suddenly became very serious. The left hand stings and the air-conditioning is painful from time to time. The update is slow. Please forgive me. () v3 Chapter 878: Countermeasures against the Rohill family "Boss, this is the situation. An unknown company is also acquiring shares in Phillip Brothers. It is already certain that the other party has acquired at least 15% of the shares." Toby Morton reported to Xia Yuhui solemnly. Toby Morton just increased his vigilance at the first instance, but the subsequent series of bad news made him feel uncomfortable. According to the statistics of the number of target shares of the acquisition team, the opponent has already acquired more than 15% of the shares. If he considers that some targets have not yet started, he cannot be sure how much the opponent has acquired. He could only make emergency dispatch, and let the company''s acquisition team immediately change the target and acquire more equity before the opponent. Then he called the boss Xia Yu, and that''s what happened now. Xia Yu frowned slightly, thinking about where the problem might be, and who the unknown enemy is! Only with limited information, the unknown is too great, and it is difficult for him to determine the goal. Slightly shook his head to look back. He wanted Toby Morton to ask: "Toby, how much equity has the company acquired now?" Toby Morton quickly reported: "At present, our shareholding ratio has reached 61%. We acquired 27.4% from the beginning, and then took the Phillips family. 27.8% of the shareholdings of the two minority shareholders at the same time yesterday." "Sixty-one percent..." Xia Yu stretched her brows and chewed the number in her mouth. Although it is still far from the goal of a wholly-owned acquisition, it is only 5.7 percent away from the two-thirds line. The gap is not too big. When things have happened, we can only lower our psychological expectations and prepare ourselves. However, considering the futures contracts that Galaxy Fund has not yet sold, Xia Yu is determined that he does not believe that his opponent dares to invest billions of dollars in the call of Philip Brothers. Now the valuation of Philip Brothers is about to drop below 100 million U.S. dollars. The cost of buying stocks is very small. It depends on whether the opponent has the ability to retain so many shares! Thinking of this, Xia Yu told Toby Morton: "Toby, it doesn''t matter if you make a full purchase and raise the price, but you must make the company''s shareholding ratio exceed 66.7%!" "Also don''t forget to investigate who your opponent is!" Feeling the resoluteness in the boss''s tone, Toby Morton''s face was straightened and he replied with a nod: "I understand, I will execute it myself." Soon, Toby Morton left the office at a hasty pace. Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes glowed with inexplicable brilliance, and his names kept flashing in his mind. "Ring Ling Ling..." Half an hour later, a rapid bell rang, awakening Xia Yu from his contemplation. He picked up the microphone and just wanted to ask who the other party was. The familiar voice from the receiver made Xia Yu''s face straightened, and he immediately greeted, "Sir Carter, hello." The caller turned out to be Duke Carter Howard, which surprised Xia Yu. Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the second time Duke Carter Howard has called him on his own initiative. Usually, everything goes through Elena or George Berkeley conveyed. "Good luck, it happened that you answered the phone, Xia Yu..." Listening to Duke Carter Howard''s constant telling, Xia Yu''s complexion gradually became serious, and his attention became more concentrated, for fear of missing any information. "Huh! It really is them!" Three minutes later, Duke Carter Howard finally finished speaking. Xia Yu pondered for more than ten seconds and said affirmatively: "Sir Carter, if your investigation is not wrong, then it is not possible that the Rohill family wants to annex Bahrain. The bank must want to do that." "The current situation is that we are on the surface, and the Roshir family is hiding in the dark. Do you think that the Bahrain Bank is closed. With our two families alone, is it possible to take over the Bahrain Bank?" In Xia Yu''s view, whether it was the Rothschild family who took the Bank of Bahrain directly or held a part of the equity, it was not the result he wanted, nor was it the result that Duke Carter Howard wanted. Both the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank have been blended by the Rohill family, resulting in his plan not being perfected. He doesn''t want the Bank of Bahrain to do the same. I believe that Duke Carter Howard, who wants to expand the autonomy and strength of the Howard family in the financial field, is absolutely unwilling to see the Rohill family come in, causing him to be unable to hide secrets, and there are no secrets for future actions. The defensive psychology of the ancient British nobles towards the Rohill family has never weakened! "If the Rohill family is also competing, it will be difficult to achieve the original goal if we rely on us alone. We must find a partner who can play a decisive role." Duke Carter Howard''s dull voice came from the earpiece. "Who?" Xia Yuyan asked concisely. "The Royal Family!" Duke Carter Howard said again. Xia Yu was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and slowly nodded and said: "Yes, I believe the royal family will not want to see the Bank of Barings fall into the hands of the Rohill family." The Lowhill family is the British financial hegemon. The Barclays Bank controlled by the Rohill family is now the largest bank in the United Kingdom. In addition to HSBC, National Westminster Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, etc. Holding shares in banks has enough influence! If the Roshir family swallows the first few banks of Barings in the United Kingdom again, the Rossell family will have a high probability of saving the Bank of Bahrain, even if it is not good, it will be able to swallow a large amount of Bahrain¡¯s bank assets and let the financial hegemony The status becomes more unshakable. Britain''s financial power structure will be extremely unbalanced! Not to mention, the Bank of Bahrain is the partner of the royal family''s queen. Now the royal family¡¯s large assets are managed by the Bank of Bahrain. If the Bank of Bahrain is taken away by the Rohir family, the royal family¡¯s large assets will have to look for partners again. The royal family will not cooperate with the Rohir family. "Sir Carter, who of the royal family are you planning to be our partner?" Xia Yu asked immediately. Duke Carter Howard¡¯s words came from the receiver again: "Prince Philip!" Xia Yu said without hesitation: "This is a very good candidate, Sir Carter, are you sure?" "..." After talking for another half an hour before Xia Yu hung up, the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed that he was in a pretty good mood. Just now Duke Carter Howard has said that he is sure to pull Prince Philip aboard, use the power of the royal family to influence the Bank of England''s Bank of England to intervene, and directly remove the Rohill family from the competition list. Among the royal family, it is impossible for the queen to participate in the business affairs of the royal family for the sake of face and image, but her husband, Prince Philip, does not have this restriction. Besides, there are also the means of the vest company. I believe that as long as you get Prince Philip, you get the queen. If it is possible to cooperate with the royal family , the benefits of Xia Yu will not be a little bit. What he has behind is a way to make the relationship closer. When the relationship continues, political and commercial interests will be easier to manipulate. Therefore, Xia Yu agreed with Duke Carter Howard''s proposal with both hands, and looked forward to the success of Duke Carter Howard in his heart. In order to ensure the success rate, Duke Carter Howard also said that at a critical time, he would even go privately to find Barrett Bahrain to give the Rothier family a fatal blow. It is believed that Barrett Bahrain will hate the Rohill family even more among the Roshill family behind the scenes, and the direct rivals Howard and the Bright Fund. After all, it is the Bahrain Bank deliberately antagonizing the Bright Fund and the Howard family first, and the latter two are completely legal and reasonable. "Sir Carter is a powerful partner, and it seems that I don''t need to worry about the British side." "Now let''s deal with the United States first. I want to know who this opponent is and will it surprise me? An accident? Or a fright?" v3 Chapter 879: An unexpected invitation "Boss, I found out who the opponent is, it turned out to be New York Chemical Bank!" Two days later, at the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Company, Toby Morton entered Xia Yu''s office in a hurry, his expression was a bit solemn, and he was still clutching a hard board folder. Hearing Toby Morton''s words, Xia Yu raised his head and looked at him, still looking calm, causing Toby Morton to subconsciously silence his voice, and noticed something was wrong. "Boss, you know?" Toby Morton asked tentatively. "Not surprising." Xia Yu looked at the exquisite invitation letter on the desktop, nodded slightly, and gestured towards Toby Morton, who immediately handed the folder to Xia Yu. Toby Morton glanced at the invitation letter in front of Xia Yu. Although he was very curious, he did not dare to ask. Opening the folder, Xia Yu found that there was not much information in it. Most of the limited content was the introduction of New York Chemical Bank. For example, this is a bank established in 1959 by the merger of two old banks. Last year, the Statistics Bank With total assets of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars, it ranks tenth among American commercial banks. Of course, in addition to the basic information of the New York Chemical Bank, it is the recent acquisition of shares in Phillip Brothers. It seems that Chemical Bank of New York deliberately hid it, so Toby Morton did not collect much information, but he can confirm that New York Chemical Bank¡¯s shareholding ratio exceeds 25%. More details are needed. confirm. If it were taken yesterday, Xia Yu would still want to find out. But this invitation sent by someone early this morning has brightened Xia Yu''s heart. Close the folder, Xia Yu rewrites it and hands it to Toby Morton, smiling and saying, "Torby, thank you for your hard work. There is no need to investigate the New York Chemical Bank." "Next, we will continue to do our best to acquire shares in Philips Brothers, and strive to achieve some results today." "Okay." Toby Morton accepted the folder and nodded awkwardly. "I have something to do. You can handle the company''s affairs. If you can''t decide, call my home again." "If it''s okay, go ahead and work." After Xia Yu finished speaking, the confused Toby Morton withdrew from the office and continued to acquire shares in Phillip Brothers. And Xia Yu picked up the invitation, smiled inexplicably, and opened it again. In the lower right corner of the invitation, the signature of the person who signed the invitation was revealed. It was David Rockefeller. The New York Chemical Bank was originally one of the financial cores of the Rockefeller Consortium. It received an invitation from David Rockefeller earlier this morning. It was self-evident. When he saw this name, Rao was still in Xia Yu''s state of mind. Calculating carefully, he hadn''t been in the United States for a long time. He thought he hadn''t come into contact with this figure at the top of the American pyramid so soon, but he didn''t expect the accident to come so suddenly. "But it doesn''t matter. With my current foundation, even the Rockefeller consortium cannot be easily destroyed." "It''s time to go back and prepare, but I don''t know what he is calculating, hehe..." After closing the invitation, Xia Yu put the invitation in his briefcase, then got up and left. ... Three o''clock in the afternoon. On the road leading to the entrance of Rockefeller Manor in New York, three black Rolls-Royce cars approached from far and near. When I came to the big iron gate, I stopped. At the beginning, the car slowly rolled down the window and handed out a beautiful invitation. After the guard read it, he immediately opened the door and let it go. The car started again, drove inside along the main road, and followed the instructions of the servants along the way to park the car in the garage. "Hello, Mr. Xia, please come with me. Mr. Rockefeller is waiting for you in the living room, but your bodyguard may have to wait outside." When Xia Yu and the nine people walked out of the garage, a middle-aged white man who emerged from nowhere went straight to Xia Yu and bowed to him. "boss!" Li Wuming''s face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted to Xia Yu. Before coming, Xia Yu told him some information about the Rockefeller family. At this time, in his opinion, this is Longtan Tiger Den. "Is Mr. David Rockefeller alone in the living room?" Xia Yu frowned slightly, shook his head at Li Wuming, and asked the white man. "Yes, only Mr. Rockefeller, he has been waiting for some time, please come with me, please." The white man immediately replied. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Let''s go!" "After you get to the door, you can wait outside." After saying a few words to Li Wuming and others, he signaled the white man to lead the way. Although Li Wuming and others were very worried, they could only watch Xia Yu walk into the villa door when Xia Yu was not far from the door. Entering the classical living room, Xia Yu''s eyes immediately locked in front of the sofa in the center and stood, the old man looking at him with a kind smile on the front. Xia Yu recognized it at a glance, it was David Rockefeller. With a smile on his face, he walked over a little faster. David Rockefeller reached out to Xia Yu and said gently: "Mr. Xia, hello, welcome to my house." Xia Yu shook hands with him, bowed slightly to show respect, and smiled: "Thank you!" "Mr. Rockefeller, I couldn''t believe it when I received your invitation. It is a great honor for me to be here!" After a few seconds, the two released their hands. David Rockefeller smiled gently and gestured to Xia Yu, "Please sit down." "Thank you!" Xia Yu thanked him and sat on the sofa on the left. "What do you want?" "Black coffee will do." After Xia Yu finished speaking, the white man who had led Xia Yu in bowed slightly in response, and then went to the closet beside him to get busy. Seeing David Rockefeller looking at himself with a smile on his face, Xia Yu looked at himself and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Rockefeller, what''s wrong with me?" David Rockefeller said with some exclamation: "If I hadn''t seen myself, I would really not believe that there is such a talented young man in the world. You made me know the world again." Such a high evaluation came out of David Rockefeller¡¯s mouth. Xia Yu immediately showed a flattered expression and said humbly: ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, your evaluation is too high. Although I don¡¯t deny that I am a genius, I It seems that I rely more on luck, and it seems that God is watching me." David Rockefeller was stunned. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to answer this way, referring success to luck. He chewed these two words slightly, and nodded in approval, and smiled: "The ability can be improved, but God¡¯s favor is destined from the moment of birth. Since God favors you, then this is yours. strength." David Rockefeller''s answer surprised Xia Yu and didn''t know how to answer the conversation. At this moment, the servant brought the plate over. After Jiang''s plate was placed on the table, he gave Xia Yu and David Rockefeller a cup of coffee each, Xia Yu softly thanked him. "Try to see if my coffee suits your taste." After David Rockefeller picked up the coffee, he smiled and said to Xia Yu. "I will try it." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the coffee, squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, and then took a sip. He seemed to be aftertaste, and exclaimed: "Very fragrant and mellow, with a slightly sour and rich bitterness in the mouth, and then savor it carefully. , With a hint of sweetness in the bitterness, this is the best black coffee." David Rockefeller smiled and introduced: "This is Sandos coffee from Brazil, which is unique to Brazil. The taste of black coffee is the most fragrant, but I am older and like to add a little milk when I drink it. The taste is softer." "..." After five or six minutes of chatting on the topic of coffee, the atmosphere of the chat has been created. Xia Yu straightened his attitude, looked at David Rockefeller with a smile, and asked: "Mr. Rockefeller, you invited me over today. Is there anything to point me to?" () v3 Chapter 880: Attractive equity "No, it''s not pointing, I just want to get to know you." "Although I am several times your age, your sense of smell and ability in the financial field amazes me, and Wall Street shakes you up." David Rockefeller shook his head slightly and said with some emotion. Without waiting for Xia Yu to speak, David Rockefeller suddenly asked: "Mr. Xia, can I ask you a question?" Xia Yu swallowed the original humble words, nodded and leaned forward slightly and said, "Of course." But what David Rockefeller said next made Xia Yu''s pupils suddenly shrink: "Are you willing to sell the oil futures you hold?" In an instant, Xia Yu''s inner vigilance reached the highest level, and he was uncertain in his heart. I don''t know how much David Rockefeller knew. He smiled and shrugged and said: "Mr. Rockefeller, our company is mainly engaged in high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures during this period. Although there are investments in oil futures, the investment is not large. You are an oil tycoon. , Shouldn¡¯t be worthy of our company¡¯s small investment." "But hearing what you said, it seems that oil futures have a lot to do. Maybe after I go back, I should suggest that companies increase investment in oil futures." Xia Yu''s sudden offensive was rubbed off by a few words. David Rockefeller was a little surprised. Xia Yu''s performance gave him a feeling of facing his peers. It was not like an impulsive one. young people. He smiled and said casually: "Your company is not a trifle. I heard that your company has invested billions of dollars in long oil futures. This is a huge number. I want to be on Wall Street. Not many companies can get it." Xia Yu looked at David Rockefeller with a full face of surprise and said affirmatively: "Mr. Rockefeller, where did you get the news? Our company does not have this kind of strength. This is absolutely false news!" David Rockefeller was not surprised to see Xia Yu''s denial. He just mentioned it casually, to test Xia Yu, and it was also a reminder of him. It is normal for Xia Yu to be unwilling to sell. He would be surprised if he was willing to transfer billions of dollars of oil futures to him. David Rockefeller smiled and said, "Maybe I remembered it wrong." "However, the Galaxy Fund''s strength in the futures market is indeed very strong. Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers are not your opponents at all. The fall of Philip Brothers has caused a strong shock on Wall Street." "If I have the opportunity, I really hope to cooperate with you. I want to use my capital and your ability to build a great company that shocks the world." Cooperating with the Rockefeller Consortium is tantamount to seeking a tiger''s skin. Xia Yu will not readily agree to the sudden incident. Although his strength is already good, he is still far from the opponent of the Rockefeller consortium. Once he is slackened and seized for a long time, he may be in danger of overturning. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Rockefeller, don''t we already belong to a cooperative relationship now?" "I heard that the New York Chemical Bank is acquiring shares in Phillip Brothers, and it happens that we are also acquiring it. If Phillip Brothers can be rescued, it may be able to make new achievements." David Rockefeller said somewhat unexpectedly: "The Chemical Bank of New York is acquiring shares in Phillip Brothers? If you don''t say I really don''t know about it." Xia Yu, regardless of whether David Rockefeller knew it or not, he seized the opportunity and said immediately: "You don''t know? If possible, I want to buy these shares!" David Rockefeller smiled and shook his head and said: "Since you are also acquiring, then it happens to use this platform to cooperate once, I am looking forward to you let Philip Brothers rise again." Although the United States does not know how many people look forward to cooperating with the Rockefeller consortium, this does not include Xia Yu. Therefore, Xia Yu was unwilling to face David Rockefeller''s obvious desire to ride a ride. The Rockefeller Consortium has to give something no matter what. So he said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Rockefeller, I am looking forward to working with you, but now Philip Brothers is insolvent. Although I have a certain degree of confidence to make Philip Brothers healthy again, but the premise is to pay off. Debt, to liquidate loss-making futures contracts, which requires more than one billion U.S. dollars!" "On my side, I can inject the futures contracts I hold into Phillip Brothers at the actual value. I don''t know what you plan to do here? Do you use cash directly?" Unexpectedly, David Rockefeller shook his head and said: "As long as the futures contract of Phillips Brothers can be liquidated smoothly, then its biggest difficulty will be solved. Although the assets have shrunk, they are still sufficient to maintain normal operations. The greatest value." "How about a different way?" "Maybe you will be interested!" Xia Yu''s heart trembled, and his face solemnly nodded: "I wish to hear the details!" "I will equivalently replace the equity of a company with the futures contract in your hands, and then you will inject the full futures contract into Phillip Brothers, and the equity ratio will be recalculated." David Rockefeller said with a smile. Xia Yu frowned, smelling the breath of conspiracy. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Which company is it? If the value is too great, I may not be able to take it." The current value of the empty order held by Philip Brothers is more than US$1 billion. If the value of the equity offered by David Rockefeller is too large, such as reaching US$1 billion, then it will be treated as an asset injection into Philip Brothers. The shareholding ratio may not even be retained at 20%. This can conflict with the layout of his futures market! I want to find a company that can rival Philip Brothers, and it is easy to acquire, but it is as difficult as ever! He doesn''t have this time and energy to waste. With this time, he can earn more benefits! Xia Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse. "I think you will be interested in this company." David Rockefeller said with a smile. After that, he opened the drawer under the tea table, took out a file bag and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu solemnly took it, and opened the mouth of the bag involuntarily, took out a stack of files inside, and looked at it quickly. It turned out to be the equity of Coca-Cola Company! After seeing those few words, Xia Yu shook slightly, and got a lot of energy. Sure enough, it didn''t take long for Xia Yu to see a figure-22.9%. This figure is exactly what he investigated, the Rockefeller Consortium¡¯s shareholding ratio in Coca-Cola! The original four largest shareholders of Coca-Cola Company were the Chicago Consortium (held on behalf of other companies) 25.4%, the Rockefeller Consortium 22.9%, the Morgan Consortium 21.7%, and the Rohill family 15.3%. The remaining ten percent of the equity is basically on the market, held by retail investors and some stubborn institutions. Previously, the equity held by the Rohill family was transferred to Xia Yu, and it is now in the hands of Bright Fund, so Bright Fund is now the fourth largest shareholder of Coca-Cola. If it can take over the 22.9% stake in the Rockefeller Consortium, Xia Yu will become the largest shareholder of The Coca-Cola Company, with a shareholding ratio of 38.2%. It is definitely a lie to say that Xia Yu is not touched. He knows the glory of Coca-Cola''s future generations. Now Coca-Cola is still in a low period. There is no need to intervene or inject capital. After four or five years, Coca-Cola will From a company with a market value of more than one billion US dollars to a giant with a market value of 10 billion US dollars. Just what is David Rockefeller for now? It would transfer Coca-Cola''s equity to him! Xia Yu was shocked and suspicious, his brain was running frantically, and various speculations kept appearing. v3 Chapter 881: Choice and influence Deliberately slowing down the time of reading, Xia Yu''s mood gradually calmed down, and he had a general guess in his heart. The Coca-Cola Company is not actually the core controlling company of the Chicago Consortium. In the battle between the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, it can only be regarded as marginal. According to the memory of later generations, Xia Yu is very clear that what the Rockefeller Consortium and Morgan Consortium want is the Chicago Consortium¡¯s financial, heavy manufacturing, petroleum and mining companies, and once again the first-tier companies in the retail sector, such as Sears Department Store. , United Department Store, Marshall Field Company and Tiffany Jewelry Company and so on. Although the Coca-Cola Company has a market value of more than one billion US dollars, it is still in the outer circle. After all, in a strict sense, the Coca-Cola Company is only a Chicago consortium holding more than 20% of its shares. Xia Yu guessed that the Rockefeller Consortium competed with the Morgan Consortium in the Coca-Cola Company because one reason was to add to the Morgan Consortium and involve part of the Morgan Consortium; the other reason was simply not wanting the Morgan Consortium to acquire Coca-Cola. As the largest and second-largest consortium in the United States, the tentacles of the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium have reached into various fields. It is obviously unrealistic to inflict heavy losses on the opponents in one field. The safest way is to divide them into smaller ones. On the battlefield, constantly eroding the opponent''s strength, gathering sand into a tower, unknowingly widening the gap in strength. In the food sector, the Morgan Consortium has the strongest strength. The flagship company is General Mills. The Morgan Consortium also owns large shares in companies such as PepsiCo, Mondelez International, Mars and Tyson. Although PepsiCo is currently in the hands of the First Citibank Consortium, the Morgan Consortium holds a large share of shares. With the penetration and influence of the Morgan Consortium on the First Citibank Consortium, if you really want to take over PepsiCo, it will not be difficult. If even Coca-Cola is taken away by the Morgan Consortium, the Morgan Consortium¡¯s position in the beverage field will be unshakable, and other small and medium-sized beverage companies will have no resistance at all. Unless the think tank of the Rockefeller Consortium is stupid, it will never sit back and watch the Morgan Consortium complete its substantial monopoly on the beverage industry. As long as any business has a monopoly, it can make huge profits. Once the Morgan Consortium has completed a substantial monopoly, the beverage sector will become the ATM of the Morgan Consortium by then, and the money will be easy to come. It is extremely detrimental to the Rockefeller Consortium! But as long as the Coca-Cola Company is not acquired by the Morgan Consortium and acquired by others, it will have little impact on the Rockefeller Consortium. ... "Hehe, Jacob Rohill gave me the equity of Coca-Cola Company. He probably wanted to get away and let me intervene in the battle between the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium and serve him as a pawn." "Now David Rockefeller is using Coca-Cola''s equity to tempt me. As long as I dare to eat it, I will face the pressure of the Morgan Consortium, and it is easy to be seen as a member of the Rockefeller Consortium. Then the equity of Philip Brothers is exposed again. Will have a real relationship." "Even... it is possible to send out the wrong signal, causing the Morgan consortium to mistakenly believe that the Rockefeller consortium has joined forces with the Rothschild family, and the energy of the Morgan consortium is involved." Thinking of these, Xia Yu had to sigh with emotion that David Rockefeller''s methods were so old and savage that he could count the birds with one stone. If he can''t tell, this is a conspiracy. If he sees it, then it''s a shame. Regardless of the conspiracy or the conspiracy, unless he can refuse the equity of Coca-Cola, he will have to jump. Obviously, Xia Yu, who was extremely confident in himself, immediately chose to jump into the pit and seized the opportunity to take the equity of Coca-Cola Company! After the decision, Xia Yu closed the document, smiled at David Rockefeller, and said: "Mr. Rockefeller, although you don''t know where you learned the news, I have to say that I am really interested in the equity of Coca-Cola. " "I agree with your way of cooperation." "However, the price of these shares and the redistribution of Philip Brothers'' shares need to be discussed after we acquire Philip Brothers. What do you think?" David Rockefeller smiled and nodded: "No problem, I will let the top of the New York Chemical Bank be responsible for this." "Okay, I will let people match up." Xia Yu smiled. After the matter was settled, Xia Yu obviously felt that David Rockefeller''s attitude towards him was a lot closer, and he also slapped a snake on a stick and accepted David Rockefeller''s kindness. Next, David Rockefeller changed the topic and talked to Xia Yu about the American political environment and the general election. Xia Yu also expounded some views based on his own position. The views are not shocking, but they are also full of dry goods. Said to be consistent with the position of the Rockefeller Foundation. Ronald Reagan is destined to succeed. The Republican Party will rule the United States. In terms of big interests, Xia Yu is in agreement with the Rockefeller Foundation. At about 4:30, Xia Yu found the right time to say goodbye. David Rockefeller showed his attention and sent Xia Yu out of the door and watched Xia Yu''s car leave. After returning, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund to make the latest deployment. Early the next morning, Toby Morton led a team to the New York Chemical Bank to negotiate. Because both sides have been ordered to fight quickly and quickly, and neither Xia Yu nor David Rockefeller is the owner of the shortfall, and they will not care about petty profits. Therefore, the negotiation was completed in one morning. The New York Chemical Bank transferred the Rockefeller Consortium to the bank¡¯s 22.9% equity in accordance with the opening price of the Coca-Cola Company on the same day, and transferred it to Jiuding Securities at a price of US$407 million. On the other hand, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. needs to calculate the US$407 million futures to the New York Chemical Bank during the reorganization of the assets of Phillip Brothers at the opening prices of today¡¯s advanced copper futures and aluminum futures for the calculation of equity division. Weights. In addition, the New York Chemical Bank and Jiuding Securities will form a group to acquire Phillip Brothers to accelerate the pace of acquisitions. The first step in a group acquisition is to go to the New York Board of Exchange to submit an acquisition application, and then go to the New York Stock Exchange to submit an application for permanent delisting and stock repurchase. Taking into account the strength and background of the New York Chemical Bank, the people of the New York Board of Exchange agreed without saying a word. As for the asset liquidation team, it continued to liquidate assets. Only the members of the liquidation team have changed. The directors of the company have been replaced by members of New York Chemical Bank and Jiuding Securities. And after taking over , in order to avoid accidents, Galaxy Fund immediately transferred the full amount of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures contracts to Jiuding Securities Company, and then Jiuding Securities Company traded with Philip Brothers. The single-short-single hedging is zero, and most of the heavy burden of Philip Brothers has been removed. As for the margin owed to the New York Mercantile Exchange, it was also returned by the New York Chemical Bank after loaning a sum of money, and the futures trading seat of Philip Brothers was unfrozen. The Philip Brothers company, the big short, completely left the market, which has a huge impact on the market, and the top institutions know about it. But before they quit, they went crazy, trying to attract enough takers to facilitate their departure. As a result, Salomon Brothers, which has not yet completed its liquidation, is uncomfortable, but can only carry it out and continue to replenish the margin, hoping that the price bubble of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures will be burst, and the set will be released when the price drops. . Xia Yu also seized the opportunity and ordered his subordinates to sell the futures contracts and spot contracts he still held as soon as possible. () v3 Chapter 882: Bahrain Bank Thunder Although the United Kingdom and the United States are separated by an Atlantic Ocean, the influence of financial markets easily transcends the limitations of space. The news of the acquisition of Philip Brothers reached London and caused a huge shock. Especially those who stand at the top of the UK understand more the meaning behind the appearance of the New York Chemical Bank. For the Bank of Bahrain, it was a huge bad news. After Barit Bahrain learned the news, he almost fainted. He seemed to see the fate of the Bank of Barings, but was helpless. No matter how struggling, he could only watch the Bank of Barings sink deeper and deeper. This was the most painful! If Barrett Bahrain¡¯s reaction is the greatest, then the second most reaction is none other than Jacob Rohill. In the Rohill family castle near London. Jacob Rohill''s face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, and his heart was mixed with anger, depression, and irritability, making his chest panicked. "Jacob, it has happened, we can only face it." Even though Evelyn Roshir sitting on the side was very annoyed, he did not decide the strategy and tactics, so his mood was not as strong as Jacob Roshir. At this time, I saw Jacob Roshir. With clenched fists, his chest undulated violently, he couldn''t help but worry about his cousin. Jacob Rohill took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. "Unexpectedly, that Chinese kid would get involved with the Rockefeller family. Our plan seems to have failed." "I always feel that all this is like a conspiracy by the old guy David Rockefeller, otherwise the Phillips Brothers company would not be able to target the Galaxy Fund with all its strength for no reason." Jacob Rohill¡¯s initial plan was to make Xia Yu conflict with the Rockefeller Financial Group or the Morgan Financial Group, and then he could take the opportunity to save Xia Yu from the trough and thus complete control of Xia Yu. Xia Yu had to be right. They are grateful. However, with the joint acquisition of Phillip Brothers by the Galaxy Fund and the New York Chemical Bank, this means that the Jiuding Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium have been on the line and have a certain foundation of common interests. As long as David Rockefeller realizes the value of Xia Yu and the Jiuding Consortium, then Jacob Rohill''s plan is almost impossible to realize. After all, New York is the territory of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan consortium. When zoomed into the United States, the Rohill family is not an opponent of the two, and even if there is a chance, it cannot wait for the Rohill family to intervene. Therefore, Jacob Rohill admits that the plan failed is justified. Hearing Jacob Roshir¡¯s depressed words, Evelyn Roshir was also helpless. He nodded in agreement and said: ¡°It¡¯s impossible in a short time. The Jiuding Consortium also participated in supporting the U.S. Republican elections and shared the interests of the Rockefeller family. Unanimously, with the strength demonstrated by the Jiuding Consortium, it is already qualified to gain a foothold in the United States." "With the financial strength shown by the Jiuding Consortium this time, it absolutely shocked the entire Wall Street. Generally, financial institutions dare not take it lightly. A powerful consortium will not conflict with the Jiuding Consortium unless there is a major conflict of interest. The Jiuding Consortium has done too much, otherwise the Jiuding Consortium will develop easily and rapidly in the United States in the next few years." Evelyn Lowhill made a conclusion based on two points. The first is Xia Yu''s strong capital, and the second is Xia Yu''s ability in the financial market. Capability and capital are two important factors for success in the financial sector. Under the combination of the two, there are really not many companies willing to collide with the Jiuding Consortium. Think about the fate of Philip Brothers, even if some organizations have ideas, they have to vote for the mouse. "Forget it, the U.S. can just stare at it. I can only hope that the Chinese kid will make a fatal mistake, otherwise the chances are slim." "Continue to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship with him for the time being, and look for opportunities to act later." "Now we are still trying our best to harvest the benefits that can be obtained. If we continue to drag it down, the value of copper futures and aluminum futures will fall, and the Bank of Barings is likely to survive." "Evelyn, do it tomorrow, what do you think?" Jacob Roshir said to Evelyn Roshir after pondering for a long time. After thinking about it for a moment, Evelyn Lowhill nodded slowly: "According to the current situation, this time period is almost the same. I will make arrangements this afternoon and start tomorrow morning!" Jacob Rosier nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Evelyn, this matter is left to you. You must be cautious. If the Bank of Bahrain goes bankrupt, I believe that there are definitely not a few interested in it, and we cannot do anything. There is another accident." Evelyn Rohill looked firm, and nodded hard: "I know." After chatting for a while, Evelyn Rohill quickly left the Rohill family castle. Watching Evelyn Lowhill''s black luxury car drive out, for some reason, Jacob Lowhill still feels a little uneasy in his heart, as if something bad is about to happen that he doesn''t know for the time being. But when I think about it, I can''t determine what it is. Feeling upset, Jacob Lowhill walked straight to the flower garden, picked up the spray can and filled it with water, and went to water the flowers to calm his mood. This is a unique way for him to relax. Contact with nature can make him free himself and his mind will become more clear. ... Early the next morning, a shocking news broke out suddenly and quickly spread in the London financial market. Whether it was a practitioner in the financial industry or ordinary retail investors or depositors, they became worried or anxious after learning the news. I don¡¯t know who sent this news, and there is no definite evidence, but people who have heard it are willing to believe it subconsciously. In fact, this news seems too real, like the news leaked by the employees of Bahrain Bank. In the news, there are detailed short-selling data of the Bank of Barings, as well as the loss amount calculated based on the latest copper futures and aluminum futures prices-870 million US dollars! The Bank of Bahrain¡¯s total own capital is 250 million pounds, which is just over half a billion dollars in U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. In other words, the actual assets of the Bank of Bahrain are approximately minus 370 million US dollars! Bank of Bahrain is about to go bankrupt! It seems that it will soon follow in the footsteps of Phillip Brothers. The tragedy of Philip Brothers has been clearly explained by the British media. Barings Bank has suffered such a large loss, and almost no one is optimistic that Barings Bank can survive. In an instant, the shares of the Bank of Barings were smashed by a steady stream of orders But at this moment, no institution dared to acquire it. In order to take over the Bank of Barings, in addition to the original debt, another loss of at least 370 million U.S. dollars was required. This loss is larger than that of Philip Brothers! Moreover, the Bank of Bahrain is different from Philip Brothers. The Bank of Bahrain is essentially a commercial bank. It faces more customers than Philip Brothers, and it is very difficult for customers to withdraw money. Once a run occurs, Bahrain Bank¡¯s assets will lose very quickly and quickly enter a vicious circle. The risk of Bahrain Bank is greater than that of the Philip Brothers! Faced with the turbulent financial market caused by anxiety, the Bank of England must come forward. The Bank of England immediately announced that it would launch a comprehensive investigation and will give the public a definite answer within a week. The public is requested to be patient. While investors waited eagerly for the news, George Berkeley moved. v3 Chapter 883: Cut cake "Sir Carter, do you think this was accidental or man-made? Could it be the hands of the Rohill family?" The seat of the London Rock Fund, the office of the chairman, George Berkeley and Duke Carter Howard sat face to face, he asked straight into the subject. Although he was confident in his heart, he still wanted to hear Duke Carter Howard''s opinion. Duke Carter Howard shook his head and said: "According to the current level of the outbreak, it is definitely not an accident. We did not do it. Then the biggest potential beneficiaries besides us will do it. Apart from the Rohill family, there should not be any. Other forces." George Berkeley nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and asked again: "Sir Carter, since the Rohill family has done it, they certainly won''t want to delay it for too long. We should also act. I wonder what happened to Prince Philip? " With that, George Burke looked at Duke Carter Howard with expectant eyes. Duke Carter Howard smiled and nodded and said: "Prince Philip has promised to cooperate, and I have directly agreed to his terms. Now that you don''t come, I am going to tell you this morning and listen to your opinions." "Prince Philip''s conditions are very loose. According to the situation of the Bank of Bahrain, it is very possible to take over the debt free of charge. If the operation is successful, he needs 20% of the equity, but he does not participate in the management and operation of the Bank of Bahrain. " "We have no objection!" George Berkeley said with a smile, and said in his heart that Duke Carter Howard was strong. Prince Philip¡¯s conditions are indeed very loose. When the boss Xia Yu communicated with him, he set a limit of 30% of the equity. Now Prince Philip only gets 20%, and they leave the 10% more. Shared with Duke Carter Howard. "Sir Carter, how should the remaining 80% of the equity be divided?" George Berkeley did not tweak, and directly asked the most core interests. Although the boss Xia Yu has already confided to him and put him directly in charge, he still hopes to take as much equity as possible for the boss, so as to reflect his ability. When it comes to the division of interests, Duke Carter Howard is instantly cautious. He can''t help but straighten his waist and look at George Berkeley with scorching eyes, and said: "Mr. Berkeley, I need half of the remaining 80% of the equity. London is in charge of the company''s operating rights. With my efforts, my request is not excessive." George Berkeley agreed with Duke Carter Howard''s efforts. Although the shorting of Barings Bank was proposed by the Bright Fund, the Howard family contributed a lot to it. And at critical moments, the Howard family also played a huge role, such as discovering that the Lowhill family was lurking, or fixing Prince Philip. These two key roles will be the prerequisite for the overall takeover of the Bank of Bahrain. Without the contribution of Duke Carter Howard, even if the Bright Fund could short the Bank of Bahrain to make a profit, it would not be sure to take the Bank of Bahrain in its entirety, and it might even be swallowed by the Rohill family in the end even if it could not even get any equity. But still the same sentence, knowing that you know that the key interest dispute is involved, George Berkeley is not embarrassed. Although the boss Xia Yu didn''t say it clearly, George Berkeley knew that the boss was not very good at fighting this matter. As a subordinate, he would naturally contribute to the boss. Therefore, George Berkeley immediately shook his head and said: "Sir Carter, I see your contribution, but our role cannot be ignored. Without our capital to resist the main pressure, the prices of copper futures and aluminum futures will not If it will rise so high, the Bank of Barings will not lose so much, and we will not be able to make short profits, let alone acquisitions." "One more thing, after acquiring the Bank of Barings, the most important thing is to let the Bank of Barings tide over the difficulties and develop. At this point, I think we can do better." "So I think we should hold 45 percent of the equity. This is what we deserve!" Although thirty-five percent is within the acceptable range, Duke Carter Howard still intends to fight again, and can count a bit more. He retorted: "Mr. Berkeley, our role is also irreplaceable, but considering that the Bright Fund did invite me to join the plan, then I step back, and you take 4% of the remaining 80% of the equity. Eleven, I take 39%." George Berkeley did not answer, but asked directly: "Sir Carter, if the Bank of Barings is acquired by us, are you confident that the assets of Bank of Barings will increase fivefold in ten years?" "The main business of the Bank of Bahrain is in the field of commercial banking. In the investment banking business, there is no outstanding result, but if we have our full support, I think the Bank of Bahrain will quickly complete the transformation." "Do you think that a 39% stake in the original Bahrain Bank is more valuable, or a 35% stake in a rapidly growing Bahrain Bank is more valuable?" "As for what you said about taking turns in charge of the Bank of Bahrain, I don''t have any problem with it. It must be the most difficult at the beginning. You can also take the lead first, or we can start." Duke Carter Howard frowned and asked in a deep voice: "You are confident that the Bank of Barings will develop rapidly?" George Berkeley nodded confidently and said, "Of course, Sir Carter, you should have known about the Jiuding Bank of Hong Kong and the Chinese Commercial Bank of London. What do you think of the development of these two banks?" "Our boss started in the financial industry. There should be no doubt about his ability in this area?" Duke Carter Howard nodded silently, approving what George Berkeley said. When it comes to this, he can accept it, 35 percent is 35 percent. "Well, just divide it according to your plan." After listening, George Berkeley smiled and said, "Thank you Sir for your generosity." "So let''s take a closer look at the details of the action next?" "Of course, but I have to wait a moment, I''ll make a call." After speaking, Duke Carter Howard picked up the microphone on the table and dialed a call. After the call, Duke Carter Howard and George Berkeley left the Rock Fund and went to a stronghold of the Howard family in London. Half an hour later, Prince Philip, wearing a dome hat and sunglasses, arrived at the stronghold in a low-key manner. After more than an hour of negotiation, a plan that was perfected to the details was released. After George Berkeley returned to the company, he arranged work according to the plan. It was not until the evening, when it was eight o''clock in New York, that he used the latest secret satellite phone to inform Xia Yu of the specific details. In the next few days, the bankruptcy of Bahrain remained at the peak of public opinion, and its impact became worse. Not only the three major markets have been affected, but even the bank savings sector has been affected. Just because many depositors lined up at the gates of major branches of the Bank of Bahrain to withdraw money overnight, it caused panic among other depositors. Fortunately, the Bank of Bahrain and the Bank of England have been calling for the people to be rational and the Bank of Bahrain has not had any cash shortages, which has barely resisted the pressure of public opinion. But as long as there is no result in one day, the impact will only get bigger day by day, until the day of the outbreak. On the fifth day when the Bank of Bahrain was revealed that it was about to go bankrupt, that is, on Sunday, the Bank of England, the National Central Bank of the United Kingdom, had to regret to announce that the rescue failed, and the Bank of Bahrain declared bankruptcy. After the Bank of Barings declared bankruptcy, the Bank of England once again stood up and solemnly promised that it would properly handle the Bank of Barings and fully protect the interests of all depositors. As soon as these words were released, many companies that had already geared up rushed to the Bank of England to see if they could pick up the bargain. Among them, the fastest response was Barclays Bank. And as the second person of the Roshir family, Evelyn Roshir is directly responsible. Just as Evelyn Rohill was working hard and looking forward to his plan to win, a special acquisition plan was delivered to the desk of the Governor of the Bank of England through the special channel of Buckingham Palace. () v3 Chapter 884: Grab food Chapter 884 r The Bank of England Bank of England is subordinate to the British Ministry of Finance. The governing body is the Council, which is composed of the governor, deputy governors and sixteen directors. It is the highest decision-making body. The members are recommended by the British government and appointed by the Queen. r r The board of directors needs to meet at least once a week. r r This time, in order to calm the turmoil in the financial market, the Bank of England is ready to choose the most suitable plan to minimize the impact of the bankruptcy of the Bank of Barings. r r It is about the ownership of the Bank of Bahrain, and all members of the board of directors are in place. r r In the conference room of the Bank of England Headquarters, eighteen members of the board of directors are sitting around a long oval table, with a pile of documents stacked in front of everyone. r r Sitting at the head of the Bank of England Governor Webb Buster picked up a document and said aloud, "This is the proposal provided by all those who intend to take over so far. Let''s read them all first, and then discuss the results."r r The others did not reply, and silently flipped through the plan in front of them. r r For a while, all I could hear in the conference room was the gasp and the sound of flipping through papers. r r Weber Buster, who has seen it all, quietly observes the changes in the expressions of the sitting person, his face sometimes showing thinking. r r "Flap!" r r Time passed slowly, and aware that everyone had finished watching, Webb Buster clapped his hands to attract everyone''s attention. r r "Everyone has read it, so let''s all express their opinions." r r As soon as Weber Buster¡¯s voice fell, a board member over 60 said immediately, ¡°I think Barclays Bank¡¯s plan is the best, and with the strength and reputation of Barclays Bank, as long as it takes over the Bank of Bahrain, it can Resolve the crisis as quickly as possible..."r r Weber Buster nodded inconspicuously, did not make a statement, and looked at the others. r r Weber Buster knew very well that the director¡¯s network was the **** of the Rohill family. r r If it is under normal circumstances, Barclays Bank is indeed the best taker, but who made it all doomed? r r Now it''s just a cutscene, he needs to make the procedure legal and compliant as much as possible, nothing more. r r "I think Barclays Bank is not suitable to take over. Barclays Bank and Barings Bank overlap too much business. If it is allowed to take over Barings Bank, most of its employees will be laid off, and the unemployment rate in the financial industry will rise sharply. I think Lloyds Bank¡¯s plan Yes, and Lloyds Bank is re-adjusting its development strategy in the past few months. Overseas capital has shrunk sharply, and Barclays Bank¡¯s cash flow may not be comparable to them."r r "Also, Lloyds Bank''s annexation of the Bank of Bahrain can also promote healthy competition in the financial industry." r r Another director who clearly represents the interests of Lloyds Bank retorted. r r "I think the HSBC Group..." r r ¡­¡­R r Each board member expressed their opinions, but they did not give in. The meeting room was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder. r r Weber Buster was silent all the time, keeping everything in sight. r r Seeing that he was almost jumping, he secretly cast a color on the deputy governor sitting on the left. r r The vice president''s eyes flashed, then he patted the table, raised the volume and said, "Everyone, be quiet, and let other directors who have not yet spoken to express their opinions." r r The directors who had been arguing gradually calmed down and looked around at the directors who had not yet spoken. r r A director sitting at the end sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "I will express my personal opinion without any personal emotional factors." r r "I think the ninth plan is the most appropriate." r r Some directors were taken aback, and immediately turned out the No. 9 plan. When they saw the takeover party above, they made a chuckle in their hearts and looked at the talkative director suddenly. r r "The consortium consisting of Rock Fund, Jiuding Bank, Bright Fund and Black Rose Capital Corporation promised to inject 1 billion U.S. dollars of assets into the Bank of Barings by means of copper futures and aluminum futures contracts plus cash after taking over. Time to lift the bankruptcy crisis of the Bank of Barings."r r "Everyone can see the situation in the futures market. Even if it has money, it is difficult to help the Bank of Barings to clear the position. Among all the plans, only the No. 9 consortium has this ability." r "The consortium headed by Locke Funds is the best way to take over the Bank of Barings." r r As soon as he finished speaking, the first director who spoke for Barclays Bank immediately said, "Jeff, everyone knows that Barings Bank will go bankrupt because of Rock Fund and Bright Fund. Although Barings Bank is currently taken over by us, the Bahraini family has been The influence of the bank still exists. Are you sure that the consortium headed by the Rock Fund can successfully take over?"r r "Furthermore, Black Rose Capital is unknown in the capital market. As for Jiuding Bank, it is a company belonging to Xiangjiang. The consortium headed by Rock Fund has little experience with the elite of the bank. I don''t think they are suitable to take over the Bank of Bahrain. "R r The director named Jeffet immediately retorted, "The failure of the Bank of Bahrain is an unexpected thing, and the futures market is locked up and losses are the biggest problems. As long as these two problems are solved, the Bank of Bahrain can quickly get out of the quagmire. Since Locker Fund is the leader. The consortium¡¯s plan can quickly solve these two problems, how could it not be suitable?"r r ¡­¡­R r All of a sudden, there was a quarrel in the conference room, more and more directors mixed in, and the conference room was in a mess. r r At this moment, Weber Buster, who was sitting above him, frowned, slapped the table abruptly, and said loudly, "Well, do you still look like a gentleman?" r r Everyone who was arguing was taken aback. Seeing Webb Buster''s thick eyebrows, he could only suppress the irritability in his heart and waited quietly. r r "It seems that you won''t have a conclusion until the afternoon. In this case, choose the plan in the most democratic way, vote by show of hands, you can vote repeatedly, and the minority obeys the majority!" r r As soon as these words came out, several people''s expressions changed, but they were anxious but unable to speak. r r Weber Buster turned a blind eye and went directly to the democratic voting process. r r "Agree to the plan No. 1 raise their hands!" r r "Three!" r r "Two!" r r "One!" r r "OK, only one vote in agreement, ass!" r r "Agree to the second plan, raise their hands!" r r ¡­¡­R r Weber Buster went through the voting process quickly and did not allow others to exchange opinions secretly. r r "Agree to the No. 9 plan, raise their hands!" r r As soon as this word came out, eight directors raised their hands with the sound of the brush. Most of the directors who raised their hands were people who had not spoken before and were ignored. r r It''s just that the sudden raising of their hands made the No. 9 plan instantly stand out, and the faces of other directors who had stated their positions instantly became ugly, and they realized that something was wrong. r r At this moment, a scene that shocked them happened. r r The vice president slowly raised his hand. r r Immediately afterwards, the governor Webb Buster also raised his hand. r r The agreement reached ten votes, which directly exceeded half! r r Three directors who had originally voted realized that something was wrong, hesitated for a while and raised their hands again. r r There were 13 votes in agreement! r r Weber Buster said blankly and said, "Proposal No. 9 has 13 votes in agreement, yes!" r r "Raise hands for those who agree to plan No. 10!" r r ¡­¡­R r Then, until the 16th plan, all voting was completed. r r The only interesting thing is that after the ninth plan, no one raised their hands to agree to the latter plan. r r "The results have been counted. There are 13 votes for the 9th proposal, 4 for the 4th proposal, and 3 for the 5th proposal." r r "Notify the consortium headed by Rock Fund to take over the Bank of Bahrain." r r Weber Buster immediately made a decision, leaving no opportunity for others to question. r r The plan has been selected in a democratic way, and the whole meeting is taken and recorded. He is not afraid of being questioned by others. r r What if some people guess that there is a problem? r r There was no problem with the procedure, he was completely defensible, even if he stabbed the Ministry of Finance, he would not persuade him. r r Thinking of the source of the plan, Weber Buster flashed the name of Black Rose Capital in his mind, and thought to himself, "What''s more, even if someone stabbed the Ministry of Finance, I believe there will be no result."r r After the meeting, several directors left in a hurry. Weber Buster turned a blind eye and ordered people to prepare for a press conference. r r ¡­¡­R r "How is it possible?" r r After hearing the result, Jacob Rohill''s face changed, and the veins in the old hand holding the armrest of the stool violently violently, obviously extremely angry. r r "Mr. Lowhill, this is the situation, and I can''t help it. This is the No. 9 plan I brought out. Take a look. I have something to do, so I will leave first." r The board of directors of the Bank of England, which represents the interests of the Lohill family, sighed and said, put down the plan in hand, and then got up and left. r r He didn''t help, and he was too embarrassed to sit here. r r "Although the result is not satisfactory, it is still hard for you. I will not send it. We will have a good chat next time at another appointment." r r Jacob Rohill tried his best to calm down and stood up and said. r r And his cousin Evelyn Rohill went out to give away. r r After witnessing the disappearance of the figure, he took his seat again, looking bitterly on the No. 9 plan. r r After reading it, his eyes were fixed on Black Rose Capital. r r He knows very well that Bright Fund and Jiuding Bank have not yet been able to do all this, and although the Howard family is influential, they do not necessarily compete to win the Rohill family. r r But today''s Bank of England meeting was clearly dominated by Weber Buster. r r There are not many people in the UK who can influence all of this, and the Black Rose Capital Company, which is unfamiliar to him, has the biggest suspicion. r r "Evelyn, this time we lost, we were careless! This is definitely a shame!" r r Jacob Rosier looked grim, angrily said to Evelyn Rosier who returned to the living room to sit down. r r Evelyn Roshir was angry at the same time, and felt a great pity in his heart that the big Bahrain bank was even eaten by a tiger. r r They were busy for a while, but Mao didn''t even get it. This kind of missed and face-slapped situation was very rare for the Rohir family in the past, and it was absolutely shameful. r r But the matter has reached this point, there is no way. r r He just lost so vaguely he was not reconciled, at least he had to know why he lost! r r Evelyn Lowhill took a deep breath and said, "Jacob, I will check the background of Black Rose Capital, and see who has such great ability!"r r Jacob Rohill didn''t say much, and nodded to show his attitude. r r After Evelyn Rohill left, he looked to the east, his gaze seemed to penetrate the castle and the space, fixed on the magnificent palace. r r "Could it be..." v3 Chapter 885: The enemy of the enemy is the friend "Boom boom boom..." A series of rushing footsteps came from far and near in Darhu Town, Murray District, Darhu Town, Scotland, awakening the stunned Barritt Bahrain. Barrett Ballin followed the sound and found his son Bradley Ballin walking towards him with solemn expression. Combined with the events of this period, he had a guess in his mind. He stood up and asked in a complex mood: "Bradley, is there a result of the bank''s ownership?" Bradley Bahrain just walked up to him, nodded with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "Yes, father." Barrett Bahrain was shocked and asked calmly: "Let''s go, who will take over? Is it Barclays?" Although the Bank of Bahrain is controlled by the Bahraini family, it is listed after all, and most of the bank¡¯s assets belong to the public, and the assets belonging to the Bahraini family are no longer sufficient to offset losses. Therefore, the Bank of Bahrain was forcibly taken over by the Bank of England. Barrett Bahrain had long been conscious and prepared to be taken over. Just being taken over by someone else, he doesn''t want to see the Bahrain Bank being taken over by the Roshir family! Thinking of what Carter Howard had told him, Barrett Bahrain''s heart surged again, flushing on his wrinkled face. Bradley Bahrain did not see the abnormality of his father. He shook his head and said in a puzzled manner: "It is not Barclays Bank. The Bank of England has held a press conference. After voting, it agreed that Barings Bank should be funded by Rock Fund A consortium consisting of, Jiuding Bank, Bright Fund and Black Rose Capital Corporation took over at a pound price and assumed all the bank¡¯s debts." Barrett Bahrain stood up abruptly and asked again with an incredulous expression: "Not Barclays?" Bradley Bahrain shook his head decisively and said: "No, Barclays Bank¡¯s proposal only received four votes and was not passed. The only proposal passed was the proposal of a consortium headed by Rock Fund." After speaking, he said angrily: "Father, I think all this is a conspiracy of the Howard family and the Bright Fund. They opposed us in the futures market, shorted our bank''s stock in the stock market, and now defeated Barclays Bank and took over us. Bank of Bahrain, they are the ultimate beneficiaries, they must have done it!" Barrett Bahrain shook his head with a wry smile and sighed. If Carter Howard hadn''t visited him, perhaps he knew the result, and he would think like his son. But after seeing the evidence presented by Carter Howard, he already knew the truth. Although the Howard family and the Bright Fund are the gainers, it can only be said that the benefits were snatched from the Roshir family. If the Bank of Bahrain were not pitted by the Roshir family, there would be no such thing as it is now. Carter Howard visited him personally and had already made it clear that he wanted to hate but couldn''t hate it. "Father, what''s the matter? Isn''t it them?" Seeing that his father''s expression was wrong, Bradley Bahrain frowned and asked. Barrett Ballin sat down again, sighed and said, "It''s not them, it''s the conspiracy of the Rohill family." Bradley Bahrain''s eyes widened and he looked unbelievable: "How could it be the Rohill family?" "It''s them!" After Barritt Bahrain finished speaking, he got up and went to a locked drawer, took out a brown paper document bag, and returned it to his son. "There is strong evidence here. Before you came back, Duke Carter Howard came here. He brought these here." Bradley Bahrain opened it quickly and took out a thick stack of materials to browse. As he kept browsing, his face kept changing. After a long time, Bradley Bahrain finally watched, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said in hatred: "Father, Curtis Budd is a traitor, George Monroe is also an accomplice, and Luo The Hill family, we must go to the court to sue them!" Barrett Bahrain shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It''s useless. These evidences are enough to let us know the truth, but they are not enough to become evidence for prosecution. There is no such thing as Curtis Bard and George Monroe. Paper evidence of the Rohill family." Bradley Bahrain was taken aback, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and his heart was full of resentment. After carefully recalling the information he had just read, he had to admit that what his father said was right. The two points of the presumption of innocence and the never suspected guilt are enough to make their proceedings fail. Although they are now logically presuming that the Rohill family is playing a ghost, the law is in favor of the defendant. The defendant does not need to provide evidence to prove his innocence, and their subjective opinions cannot be used as evidence to establish facts. If the lawsuit cannot be won, filing a lawsuit will only outweigh the gains. What''s more, the Bahrain family is now destined to lose the Bahrain Bank. The Bahrain family without the Bahrain Bank is no longer qualified to provoke the Lowhill family without official help. "Then father, can we just forget it?" Bradley Bahrain asked unwillingly, looking at his father tightly. Barrett Bahrain was silent for a long time, and slowly nodded: "Yes, we can''t knock down the opponent at once, we can only lower our heads temporarily." Speaking of this, Barritt Bahrain paused, his eyes turned cold. Firmly said: "But this does not mean forgetting hatred. The top priority is to make the family stronger again. The Roshir family prays that there will be no crisis, otherwise the time of their bad luck is our time for revenge!" Bradley Bahrain nodded angrily and responded, "I see, father." "What about the Howard family and the Bright Fund?" Barrett Bahrain thought for a while and said: "They snatched Bahrain Bank from the Roshir family. The relationship between the two parties must be very bad. Now that we have decided to hostile the Roshir family, then the Howard family and the Bright Fund can no longer offend. Up." "I understand, I will help them take over the Bank of Baring smoothly." Bradley Baring said with a mixed feeling. "Well, just do it..." Barrett Bahrain sighed. ... The cooperation of the Bahrain family really surprised George Berkeley, but this situation is undoubtedly the best. In just two days, the Bahrain Bank, which has a history of 218 years, was acquired by a consortium headed by Rock Fund for a symbolic price of one pound. In the new Bank of Barings, Locke Fund holds 35%, Jiuding Bank holds 25%, Bright Fund holds 20%, and Black Rose Capital holds 20%. The day after the acquisition, the Bank of Barings faced a major change in blood. Among them, Curtis Bard and George Monroe were dismissed directly, and their henchmen were also dismissed. The former President of Barings Bank, Peter Niels, offered to submit his resignation. Obtain board approval. The new president is Brian Pittman, a vice president hired from Lloyd Bank, who was appointed by Xia Yu. Although Duke Carter Howard did not know why Xia Yu wanted to poach him, based on his trust in Xia Yu, Duke Carter Howard used his own face to pry people over. Brian Pittman can be favored by Xia Yu, of course there is a certain reason. In the original trajectory, Lloyds Bank suffered heavy losses in the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, with its asset scale ranking the lowest among the four major commercial banks in the UK, and its capital base has become quite weak. However, after Brian Pittman became president of Lloyds Bank in 1983, he quickly changed his strategy and used extremely clever business methods to integrate a series of banking businesses and develop new businesses. It only took 15 years in 1998. In 2015, Lloyds Bank was built into the world''s largest bank by market value, with a peak market value of 68.7 billion pounds at that time! For this reason, Brian Pittman has an extremely famous title-the most brilliant banking integration wizard! Now Bahrain Bank¡¯s business really needs to be reorganized and integrated. Brian Pittman¡¯s takeover happens to be able to drastically reform. With the full support of the board of directors, Bahrain Bank can definitely quickly re-emerge. When Brian Pittman took office, the Bright Fund immediately acted and through a series of transactions, the Bank of Barings asked the futures contract for the burden. Then the Duke Carter Howard platform assured the whole society that the Bank of Bahrain would resume normal operations and all business cooperation would be carried out normally. And secretly there was a gossip that Black Rose Capital, one of the shareholders of Bahrain Bank, belongs to the royal family. As a result, the confidence of depositors increased greatly, and the long queue of queuing to withdraw money quickly disappeared. The prestigious Bright Fund in the capital market also announced that it will cooperate fully with the Bank of Bahrain to rebuild private and public funds. The investors of the Bank of Bahrain have the right of first refusal. Wait and see for a while. A series of measures directly stabilized the market''s confidence in the Bank of Barings. Although the assets of Bank of Barings are still being lost, the rate of loss has fallen sharply and is gradually decreasing. Seeing this situation, Jacob Rohill was very angry, but he had to give up his plan to target the Bank of Barings. No way, who asked them to find out the background of Black Rose Capital! Although the capital of the Rohill family is stronger than the royal family, considering the influence of the royal family on the British people and the upper class, Jacob Rohill can only die. What''s more, the shareholders of Bahrain Bank include Bright Fund and Jiuding Bank, both of which are Xia Yu''s enterprises. Now they plan to maintain a good relationship with Xia Yu, so naturally they can no longer move Bahrain Bank. Jacob Rohill had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end they could only turn into a helpless sigh. s: In the new year, I wish you all a happy family, good health, success in your wishes, smooth work, abundant financial resources, and all the best! () v3 Chapter 886: Asset surge When the Bank of Barings was taken down, on the US side, Philip Brothers was acquired first. The brand-new Phillips Brothers has only two shareholders, the Galaxy Fund and the New York Chemical Bank. The Galaxy Fund holds 67.7% of the shares, the New York Chemical Bank holds 32.3%, and the Galaxy Fund still holds absolute controlling rights. The ability to retain absolute controlling rights is due to the fact that Philip Brothers¡¯ losses in the futures market are too large. After the New York Chemical Bank replaced Coca-Cola¡¯s equity with a value of US$407 million, the replacement futures contract also Only accounted for 31.2%. Then combined with the original equity acquired by the two parties, after the asset integration equity is re-divided, it becomes the current result. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the equity of Phillip Brothers held by Galaxy Fund was acquired by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. except for the capital injection of futures contracts. Although the two companies are both Xia Yu¡¯s private companies, the employee bonuses of different companies are linked to the company¡¯s performance, so brothers must also settle accounts. After the Galaxy Fund paid a portion of the handling fee to Jiuding Securities, Toby ¡¤ Morton certainly had no objections. Relying on short-selling Philip Brothers, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has come down to US$827 million in the entire process. Now Toby Morton is thinking about how to make reasonable use of this money to invest. After the work of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. ended, Xia Yu focused on the Galaxy Fund. Time passed slowly, and it was the end of August before I knew it. Throughout August, apart from the US election and the clearance of futures and spot contracts that could affect Xia Yu''s mind, the only thing worthy of his attention was the mainland meeting on August 26. That meeting can be said to be another important node in the reform of the mainland, which confirmed the establishment of special economic zones in four cities including Pengcheng. On the same day, Xia Yu also specially gave some instructions to his think tank in Xiangjiang. August 31st. Xia Yu''s company finally emptied all copper and aluminum futures and spot contracts. Combined with the transcripts submitted by various companies and teams, Xia Yu finally knew all the results of the futures battle. Among them, the copper market gained a total of US$2.311 billion, the futures market had even higher returns, reaching US$1.287 billion, and the spot market gained US$1.024 million. The aluminum market far exceeded the copper market, with a total of 3.637 billion US dollars, of which the aluminum futures market gained 1.462 billion US dollars and the spot market book income was 2.175 billion US dollars. Dollar. The book income of the copper and aluminum markets totaled 5.948 billion US dollars, which is about to exceed 6 billion US dollars. But these are only book gains, in fact, there is not so much liquidity. The reason is that a large number of futures contracts are used to hedge against Philip Brothers and Bank of Bahrain, which have essentially become the equity and assets of these two companies, and of course some have been replaced with equity in Coca-Cola. The circulating funds that really remained in Xia Yu''s hands were US$4.1 billion. Only Xia Yu knows these data. Each group and each company only knows their own data. And not all of this money is in the United States. Except for less than one billion U.S. dollars in the United States, other funds have long been in the process of trading with the next company and entered the international account, either in a Swiss bank or already transferred. Among Jiuding Bank or Chiba Bank. Xia Yu''s assets surged again. After reading all the data in the office, Xia Yu locked the transcripts in the safe, and then convened a meeting with the senior management of the Galaxy Fund. Five minutes later, in the conference room. Xia Yu''s face was Hexi''s smile, and his eyes swept across everyone''s faces. They saw Song Yang, Xue He and others smiling and full of energy. Everyone looked at Xia Yu''s eyes full of admiration from time to time. Xia Yu knows that this global futures war has given these subordinates a transformation, and their overall outlook and resistance to pressure have been greatly improved. "Flap!" Seeing that everyone was there, Xia Yu applauded lightly, and the meeting room was quiet for a moment, and everyone''s eyes gathered on him. Xia Yu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Okay, now the meeting will begin." "This time you can achieve victory in this action, and you cannot do without your hard work. I see all of these." "Since I have meat to eat, I won''t be hungry for you. Everyone of you sitting here will have no less than two million dollars in prize money!" "thank you boss!" "Follow the boss and have meat to eat!" "Boss atmosphere!" Everyone immediately cheered, with excited smiles on their faces. Two million U.S. dollars, when converted into Hong Kong dollars, there are more than nine million, and this is the least. In addition to the bonuses of various investment projects before, this means that their bonuses this year will be at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars. How can this not make them excited? The boss really made a big shot! Xia Yu smiled as everyone cheered. He has already calculated an account. The bonus for this futures war is estimated to be about 60 million U.S. dollars. This includes all employees, not just the executives sitting here. But even US$60 million is equivalent to about one percent of his gain this time. His bonus ratio is already extremely low in the financial industry. However, this is also a special case. After all, in the Galaxy Fund, Xue He and Song Yang are just senior employees, not partners of the company. Of course, it is impossible to get a high percentage of bonuses. If the percentage of commissions in the financial industry is tens of percent, then Xia Yu will be bleeding. Xue He and others take too much money, but it is easy to have extra thoughts. Fortunately, the situation of the Galaxy Fund is special. Xue He and others are self-aware. They know that the most critical factor for victory is the boss Xia Yu. The credit is basically the boss. They just try their best to implement the boss''s decision. Moreover, this operation is not limited to the Galaxy Fund. They are all senior executives of the Galaxy Fund. They know the income of the Galaxy Fund at most, and it is not clear that Xia Yu has benefited nearly six billion US dollars. It took about two minutes before the conference room became quiet again. Xia Yu said again: "Bonuses are still in accordance with the old rules, and they will be issued at the end of the year. No one can hack the bonuses that belong to you. Those who are hired later may not be clear about the situation. You have to explain it well~ www.novelhall.com~ Hearing this, everyone nodded. "So now we start the next meeting process. Two things are very important to the company. Let me talk about the first one." "Song Yang." Hearing his boss Xia Yu''s name, Song Yang immediately sat up straight, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, then looked at the manuscript in his hand, and said aloud: "In this futures war, our company has an additional subsidiary, that is Philip Brothers, according to the boss''s instructions, the merger has not been completed. We still need to assist Philip Brothers in acquiring a company that everyone is familiar with, and it is Salomon Brothers." "According to the latest investigation, although Salomon Brothers closed up in time, it is too difficult for the futures market to escape in the later period. It is also on the verge of bankruptcy. It is only because the high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures markets show signs of decline, as long as Salomon Brothers carries on. , It is very possible to escape." "According to the boss''s instructions, within one month, all difficulties must be resolved and Philip Brothers will wholly acquire Salomon Brothers..." () v3 Chapter 887: 2 Yihe Oil After listening to Song Yang read the first thing, everyone fell into deep thought, thinking about how to start. Salomon Brothers is not listed, so many commonly used acquisition methods are not used at all, and acquisitions will be more difficult. But for this matter, they all support it from the bottom of their hearts. Although Philip Brothers has been severely damaged, it is still the top company on Wall Street. All the employees of the company are still there, with the support of the Galaxy Fund. Although the strength of Philip Brothers has been weakened, it is still the leader in the futures market, although the leader''s halo has faded a lot. Salomon Brothers, formerly a leading financial company on Wall Street, has suffered severe damage, but the framework for growth is still there. If Philip Brothers can fully acquire Salomon Brothers, under the two combined, although it cannot be squeezed into the top five investment banks, it can definitely be squeezed into the top ten investment banks on Wall Street. If the Galaxy Fund owns a company in the top ten investment bank camps on Wall Street, it will play an extremely powerful role in boosting the development of the Galaxy Fund. Galaxy Fund has no shortage of funds. Relying on the contacts and resources accumulated by the two companies over the past six to seventy years, the constraints of development can be easily released. The benefits are obvious! Just how to acquire wholly-owned companies has become a problem. Xia Yu smiled slightly, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces, and said faintly: "Who is willing to volunteer for this matter?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xue He gritted his teeth and stood up and said loudly, "Boss, I am willing to give it a try!" Xia Yu said with interest: "What are you going to do?" Xue He took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts, then slowly said: "Solomon Brothers is a partner company, and its major shareholders are Jewish. According to the current price fluctuations of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures, a quick fight must be made. The longer it drags on, the greedy Jews will open their mouths even if they are willing to sell shares." "It''s just that we have left the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures markets. We are very weak in interfering with the prices of these two futures. We can no longer force Salomon Brothers to bow from the futures market." "Therefore, my plan is to spend money to buy time, and at the same time to find Goldman Sachs to take advantage of Goldman Sachs'' influence among the Jewish people to help us complete the merger. "We can sign a gambling agreement with Goldman Sachs to set a starting purchase price within one month. The shorter the acquisition time, the more equity acquired and the higher the commission ratio. If a certain task cannot be fulfilled, Goldman Sachs The company needs to pay us a certain amount of liquidated damages to urge Goldman Sachs to go all out." "The other aspect is to let the Chemical Bank of New York take the initiative. With their influence on Wall Street, resource replacement can also play a role." After speaking, Xue He looked at Xia Yu tightly, holding his breath unconsciously. Xia Yu said appreciatively: "Yes, your thinking is very clear and you have strong execution ability. Then you will be responsible for this matter, and you will make the plan as soon as possible and show me, don''t let me down." Xue He was shocked, smiled, and replied loudly: "Yes, we must not let you down!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and said again: "Then the next thing is the second thing, you should have guessed too." "Song Yang, tell everyone about the situation." As soon as the voice fell, Song Yang performed his duties again and read to everyone: "As of today, the price of New York oil futures has reached 26.2 US dollars a barrel. After using leverage, we have invested a total of 5.76 billion. Ten thousand U.S. dollars are long oil futures. At present, they hold a total of 267,800 lots of oil futures, with a total value of 71.6 billion U.S. dollars." "In other words, we are currently long oil futures, and the floating profit has reached US$1.25 billion." "Within half a month, the peak daily trading volume of oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange was 52,130 lots." Upon hearing this, everyone had a general impression. The total amount of oil futures held by the Galaxy Fund is more than five times the daily trading volume of US oil futures. However, considering that these oil futures have been bought and accumulated since last year, in fact, for the oil futures market with a daily trading volume of more than 50,000 lots, which is more than 50 million barrels, and a daily trading volume of more than one billion US dollars, Although the impact is great, it is not too shocking. Overall, it is a heavyweight bookmaker. After introducing the situation of the New York oil futures market, Song Yang turned his head and talked about the situation in the Middle East, and other executives who had been distracted once again focused on it. "According to the latest information provided by the boss, Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz has already obtained the support of the United States and left the United States secretly early this morning. According to speculation, after Iraq has obtained the diplomatic support of the two overlords, Aziz will return. Iraq will lose its worries. Taking into account the religious and territorial disputes between Iran and Iraq, there will be a high probability of military conflict between Iraq and Iraq in the near future, which will even further cause war..." Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and the brain started to operate quickly, analyzing what effect this would have if it happened. As the two major oil exporters in the Middle East, once the two Iranian countries fight, Iran will never let Iraqi oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and once the conflict intensifies, the entire Middle East''s oil supply will also drop sharply. At that time, international crude oil prices will definitely soar, which means that the harvest season for Galaxy Fund is coming! By then, to what extent will oil futures prices rise? Thirty dollars a barrel? Thirty-five dollars a barrel? Or is it forty dollars a barrel? Will the profit be two billion dollars? Three billion dollars? Or forty or five billion dollars? Thinking of this, everyone couldn''t help but get excited. As for the word "very high probability" mentioned by Song Yang, they directly ignored it. Although they have been with the boss Xia Yu for more than a year, they admire the boss''s international vision and overall situation. In their eyes, the boss can definitely be called the **** of strategy, and he has never missed the international situation. Otherwise, how can the Galaxy Fund develop so rapidly? How can the Jiuding Consortium rise up boldly? The boss has been planning oil futures since last year. Now that Song Yang is asked to read out the situation in the Middle East, it is clear that it is time to harvest. There is no doubt at all! After Song Yang finished speaking, Xia Yu added aloud: ¡°The reason for judging that there will be a conflict in the near future is based on many considerations. Since last year, Iraq has obtained the Hongsu (small life matters, it can only be written like this). Support, but did not get the support of the United States, but Iran Khomeini died, and until now has not released the Americans." ¡°Jimmy Carter¡¯s current general election situation is precarious. He is already making the last fight to support Iraq to pressure Iran in an attempt to get Iran to release the hostages in order to prove his iron and blood and decisiveness, and try to save the hostages to save himself. Prestige so Jimmy Carter will not allow time to drag on for too long." "On the other hand, Iran still exports its revolution to Iraq despite internal turmoil. Iraq has re-armed its army with the help of the Red Soviet since the end of last year. It has also made preparations. It can be said that everything is ready. Owe Dongfeng." "The United States has already sent the east wind out early this morning, so from many perspectives, this war is almost inevitable." When Xia Yu said this, everyone suddenly felt a sense of relief. The logic made sense, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. One of the executives, Tang Yong immediately asked: "Boss, does this mean that in September, the war will start?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said calmly: "According to my estimation, it should be in the middle and late September." "Then boss, don''t we need to hide, buy a large amount of oil futures contracts?" Tang Yong asked again, looking at the boss Xia Yu with scorching eyes. () v3 Chapter 888: The father of Bloomberg "Half right." "The Galaxy Fund should not be exposed, but Philip Brothers can do its best to do long oil futures. It needs a victory to restore investor confidence." "Just to push Philip Brothers to the front of the stage, it can better conceal the actions of the Galaxy Fund." Xia Yu said lightly. After speaking, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces, and he ordered: "Each of you originally had a corresponding investment team, but it is still the same. Xue He will work harder. Philip Brothers wants you to be responsible for implementing the plan." "understand!" Next, Xia Yu dealt with some of the people''s problems on the spot. After the meeting ended, everyone performed their duties and acted quickly. Xia Yu went back to his office, thought about it, picked up the phone, and called Elena. After a chat, Xia Yu informed her of her judgment on oil futures and asked her to act for her. Tell her father, Duke Carter Howard. Anyway, the oil futures market is so huge that one person can''t make all the money at all. When this time comes, he will sell his favor easily. As long as Duke Carter Howard makes a profit, he will always give back to Xia Yu at a certain time. As for George Berkeley, Xia Yu did not notify him. After all, Bright Fund has no branch in the United States and cannot participate in long oil futures. At present, there is one and only the New York Mercantile Exchange in the United States that has listed petroleum futures contracts. According to the historical trajectory, the UK will not list light diesel futures contracts until next year at the earliest, and it will compete with the New York Mercantile Exchange. After arranging the oil futures affairs, Xia Yu was more relaxed and had more time to pay attention to the political situation in the United States, occasionally playing golf at appointments, and attending a reception to expand his contacts. Until September 18th. Xia Yu is studying the American entertainment media market in his office, and he will wake up with two knocks. He followed the reputation and saw Xue He standing at the door holding a folder with joy on his face. Xia Yu raised his mouth slightly, nodded to Xue He, and motioned for him to come in. Xue He walked in quickly, and said, "Boss, it took a total of 18 days. All the shareholders of Salomon Brothers have all their shares. This is the entire agreement and the certificate of equity. Please have a look!" "it is good!" Xia Yu could not help cheering for Xue He, his eyes full of admiration. Hearing the boss applauded, Xue He''s smile was all over his face, but he repeatedly said modestly: "It''s the boss that you are good to guide." Xia Yu smiled and said to Xue He: "Let me take a look first. Find a place to sit. If you want to drink tea, do it yourself." "Good boss!" Xue He immediately responded, and then walked to the side to make tea. After making tea, he first poured a cup for Xia Yu, and then poured the cup himself, sitting on the sofa and waiting, looking at Xia Yu from time to time. Because Salomon Brothers is a partner company, although it is not listed, it has a large number of shareholders, with a total of nineteen. However, most of the nineteenth holders are very small, ranging from 2% to a few tenths of a percent. Those who are eligible for equity are all veterans and have made great contributions to Salomon Brothers. The core figures of the general high and middle level are only bonuses and dividend qualifications. There are only five core major shareholders, and the total shareholding ratio of these five shareholders reaches 86.3%. In the acquisition of Salomon Brothers, it was these five major shareholders that were really conquered. After these five shareholders were taken down, other scattered equity was easily bought. Throughout the process, Philip Brothers will need to spend $314 million in the purchase price. Among these 314 million U.S. dollars, all shareholders of Salomon Brothers received a total of 275 million U.S. dollars, which were distributed in proportion to their equity. The remaining $39 million in expenditure is a commission paid to Goldman Sachs. Relatively speaking, this commission is absolutely extremely high, but it is also what Goldman Sachs deserves. Goldman Sachs took only 18 days from receiving the order and formulating the plan to completing the task, and the price was reduced to 275 million U.S. dollars, which is absolutely eligible for the money. If Goldman Sachs takes a month to complete the equity acquisition, and the price is less than 300 million US dollars, they can get a commission of 5 million US dollars and burn the scent. If it is overtime, according to a special gambling contract, Goldman Sachs Have to pay for it. Generally speaking, in Xia Yu''s view, this sale is a good deal and the money is well spent. I have looked at each of the independent equity transfer agreements, and when he reached the last one, Xia Yu''s eyes were fixed, and the figure of one of the world''s top ten richest men appeared in his mind. The father of Bloomberg-Michael Bloomberg! Later generations, with a worth of more than 50 billion US dollars, once squeezed into the top ten of the Forbes Global Rich List. Even when he was almost there, he was hovering in a dozen or so. He is definitely the big one. Just now... Looking at the equity transfer price in the contract, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. $4.95 million! This figure is the amount obtained by Michael Bloomberg¡¯s 1.8% stake. Not even one-thousandth of the peak of the previous life! It seems that according to the historical trajectory, when Salomon Brothers was acquired, he still got 10 million US dollars, but under the butterfly effect of Xia Yu, now he only got half. But considering the recent losses of Salomon Brothers in the futures market, it is normal for the company''s value to shrink by half. "Remember that Michael Bloomberg used 10 million U.S. dollars as venture capital in his previous life to create Bloomberg''s predecessor, Innovative Market Systems Company. Now he has less than 5 million. I don''t know if he can succeed again." "but¡­¡­" Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt that it was too risky to bet that Michael Bloomberg would not succeed. If he really made Bloomberg News Agency and get the support of Wall Street bigwigs, his Jiuding News Agency would be uncomfortable. And with Michael Bloomberg''s ability, this risk is really big. To use a sentence from Michael Blomberg¡¯s self-evaluation, that is, "He knows computers best among practitioners in the financial industry, and he knows finance best among those who know computers." Although this sentence has certain boasting elements and moisture , But it is true from a certain angle. Of course, for now, the BUG character Xia Yu must be excluded. Closer to home. At present, although there are many news agencies in the United States, they are all biased towards the political field. Half of the news agencies in the financial and commercial fields are Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding News Agency. Now that Jiuding News Agency is attacking this market, he has ordered Yan Wenhan to cooperate with Seattle Computer Systems to develop financial information service terminals. If Bloomberg really came out, considering Xia Yu''s habit of eating alone, Wall Street bigwigs would fully support Bloomberg and Jiuding News Agency to grab the market as long as they saw the slightest possibility. "Boom boom boom..." Xia Yu''s face was thoughtful, his **** tapped on the table subconsciously, attracting Xue He''s attention. When the latter saw the boss Xia Yu''s expression, he thought something was wrong, and he couldn''t help but raised it, feeling that the boss''s Yuqian Longjing was not fragrant anymore. "Neither of these methods work. The safest way is to hold him in your hand. The specific method is to choose one of them. The most important thing is to tie him for a lifetime." One after another bad idea was brushed out of his mind, and after two remaining, Xia Yu finally made a decision. He put down the materials and waved to Xue He: "Xue He, come here." Xue He immediately got up, came to Xia Yu and sat down, waiting for Xia Yu''s order with bated breath. "Everyone in Solomon Brothers is still there, right?" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Xue He immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, according to your instructions, all employees are still in the company." After finishing , he felt uncomfortable and added: "However, many major shareholders who are senior executives have urged me to take over the company as soon as possible. It can only be delayed for half a month before someone will leave. " Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Very well, it doesn''t take half a month, people just do not leave." "In this way, in the name of Phillip Brothers, you will hold a meeting of all executives of Salomon Brothers. The time will be set at nine o''clock tomorrow morning. I will go with you at that time." Xue He immediately replied loudly: "Yes!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu added again: "By the way, before leaving get off work this afternoon, give me a list of all the personnel of Salomon Brothers." "If there is no problem, you can do it now." "I''m fine, boss, I will do it now." "Well, go!" High-speed text handwriting rebirth of the most powerful chapter list v3 Chapter 889: The combination of finance and computer "...I hope everyone can perform their duties and cooperate fully. This process is also when the company inspects you. I hope that after the company merges, I can see you again." "Okay, this meeting is over, John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg stay for a while, and the others will go away." After Xue He finished speaking, the executives at the meeting retreated one after another. In less than a minute, there were only four people left in the conference room, namely Xia Yu, Xue He, John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg. Xue He got up and closed the door, and then in the surprised eyes of John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg, respectfully asked Xia Yu: "Boss, do I want to go out first?" "Sit down, thank you for your hard work." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said, returning his gaze back to John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg who were surprised by the catalog. The legal person of Galaxy Fund and Philip Brothers is not Xia Yu, and although in Galaxy Fund, Song Yang, Xue He and others call Xia Yu boss, but on paper, the general manager of Galaxy Fund¡¯s parent company is Liu Xiao , Not Xia Yu. At the meeting just now, Xia Yu was only with Xue He, and did not speak during the whole process. When Xue He introduced Xia Yu to everyone, only the representatives sent by the Galaxy Fund, John Gufran and Michael Blomberg At this time, surprise was taken for granted. "First introduce yourself, my name is Xia Yu, you can call me the boss." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said softly. John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg recovered and shouted in unison: "Boss!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and fixed his gaze on John Gooflan, the future "King of Wall Street". "John, at the meeting just now, Xue He did not announce your position decision. To be honest, I am very optimistic about your talents, so I plan to reuse you." "After the merger of Phillip Brothers and Salomon Brothers, you will be the president of the company. Now the president of Phillip Brothers will either retire or serve as your deputy." As soon as he said this, John Gufran''s raised eyes instantly widened, and he looked at Xia Yu carefully and found that Xia Yu did not seem to be joking. A feeling of joy and gratitude rose in his heart. To be honest, he was mentally prepared for being demoted or dismissed. He even considered leaving and re-selecting a career, but he never thought of being a member of Phillip Brothers. President. This is because he has self-knowledge and knows the strength gap between Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers. And it was Philip Brothers'' acquisition of Salomon Brothers. He had never heard that the person from the acquired party could serve as the president of the merged company, so he never thought about it. I never thought that the new boss Xia Yu would value him so much. There was a kind of impulse to die for a confidant in his heart. At this moment, all worries and resignation thoughts were wiped out. After all, suitable jobs are really hard to find. He suddenly got up and bowed to Xia Yu to thank him: "Boss, thank you for your recognition of me, I will not let you down." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, motioned to him to sit down, and then said: "Your first job at present is to do a good job of stabilizing personnel. Every employee in the company is wealth." "On this basis, you have to do a good job in scheduling, and strive to allow Salomon Brothers to complete the merger and reorganization with Philip Brothers as soon as possible." "How long do you estimate that this process will take?" John Gufran thought for a long time, and said firmly: "Boss, up to three months, the new company after the merger can carry out all business normally." Considering that Philip Brothers is a multinational company and Salomon Brothers is also a first-class financial company, the integration time of three months is already considered very fast, even if it is doubled to six months, it is not too slow. Xia Yu estimated that he had this self-confidence, but also believed that he had the prestige of Salomon Brothers, and considering the support of the boss, Philip Brothers would have no constraints and resistance. So Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I look forward to your performance." Then Xia Yu encouraged John Gufran a few more words, and the latter left the meeting room wittily. Seeing the boss Xia Yu looking at him, Michael Bloomberg, who was in his prime of life, subconsciously stood up, making himself more energetic and confident. Xia Yu had a kind attitude and said relaxedly like a friend chatting: "Michael, I heard that you plan to change your work environment?" Michael Bloomberg nodded and said frankly, "Yes." Xia Yu asked with interest: "Is it because there is no position in the company that can give full play to your talents?" Michael Bloomberg is not so arrogant, and even if he really thinks so, he would not be so stupid to say yes. He immediately shook his head and said: "No, I just changed a job. I joined Salomon Brothers after graduation, and I have been working here for 14 years now." "But I think I''m still young, and I want to improve my comprehensive ability through different jobs and lay the foundation for greater achievements in the future." To Michael Bloomberg''s surprise, the boss Xia Yu didn''t persuade him to stay, instead he smiled and asked him again: "Then where do you think about further studies?" Michael Bloomberg pondered for a moment and replied truthfully: "I haven''t thought about the specific job position, but I think that with the development of semiconductors, the influence of computers on society is increasing, but the financial industry is the blood of the social economy. , The combination with computers seems to be a bit lagging, so I hope to find a job that combines computers and finance." Hearing Michael Bloomberg''s answer, Xia Yu was determined. It seems that Michael Bloomberg is still in the process of exploring, and he has no idea of ??starting a business. This is good news. The even less pleasing second plan of his original plan can be abandoned. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Michael, your views are the same as mine. At present, Wall Street''s view of the computer industry is still limited to this industry as a sunrise industry, and more of it is thinking about investment, not using computer technology to upgrade the financial industry. ." "Maybe they are used to lying down and making money." "If you want to find such a job, it is very difficult." Michael Bloomberg''s face was slightly darker, and he nodded and said: "Yes, now the development of the financial industry has reached an inflection point. Wall Street¡¯s attention is mostly on financial derivatives. On the product." Xia Yu smiled and said, "But is this an opportunity?" "I have been doing research in this area and have achieved certain results. It is time to start preparing for commercialization. It just happens that the company still lacks a person in charge. Would you like to give it a try?" Michael Bloomberg''s eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. While grateful in his heart, he was a little eager to move. However, he also knows that products like this that have not yet been launched on the market are classified as Kyrgyzstan, and it is not appropriate to ask about it. But his inner curiosity made him scratch his heart like a cat. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked with a cheeky face: "If it is appropriate, can you tell me what kind of company it is?" Xia Yu thought for a while, and said vaguely: "Michael, you should know the importance of the speed of information acquisition for the financial industry." Michael Bloomberg nodded in agreement. The importance of the speed of information acquisition is undoubtedly ranked first. As long as the acquisition of valuable information is fast enough, a time difference can be made to make a huge profit. "The development of the financial market is now approaching a peak." "In my opinion, what restricts it is mainly valuable information. Financial companies use a large part of their manpower to collect and analyze valuable information. Even some basic information also requires manpower to collect, which greatly wastes time. ." "The product I make is to provide customers with valuable financial information uninterruptedly. As long as the financial company that purchases my product, it can greatly improve work efficiency ~ www.novelhall.com ~ for other companies that have not purchased services Form an information gap, do you think there is a market?" Speaking of this, although Xia Yu still didn''t say what product it was, he was still a bit vague, but it was enough to make Michael Bloomberg have unlimited reverie. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was exactly the direction he wanted to look for. He didn''t expect the new boss Xia Yu to have walked so far on this road. This made him a little frustrated, and at the same time he became more excited. Perceiving a change in Michael Bloomberg¡¯s mentality, Xia Yu smiled faintly, and once again extended an invitation to him, and said solemnly: ¡°Michael, how about it? Would you like to participate in the creation of this product by yourself, as long as half a year¡¯s inspection period has passed. After getting my approval, you will be eligible to receive the company¡¯s option awards. How much you can get depends on your contribution to the company!" Although it is only an option and not a direct equity, as long as you don¡¯t betray the company and keep going down, options will naturally become real equity over time. Seeing Xia Yu''s calm eyes, Michael Bloomberg''s heart was shaken, and his heart struggled violently. High-speed text handwriting rebirth of the most powerful chapter list v3 Chapter 890: Hong Kongs future "Boss, thank you for your approval, I am willing to try hard!" Michael Bloomberg nodded sharply and said firmly. The smile on Xia Yu''s face grew brighter, and he extended a hand to him, who immediately got up and shook hands with Xia Yu. "Michael, you should handle your resignation first today and tomorrow, and I will find you the day after tomorrow to arrange a new job for you." Xia Yu said with a smile. Michael Bloomberg nodded and responded, "Okay." In this way, both of Xia Yu''s goals at Salomon Brothers have been achieved. After he sent Michael Bloomberg, he took Xue He back to the Galaxy Fund. In the car, Xia Yu told Xue He: "Xue He, Philip Brothers, you have to stabilize the overall situation, especially Tendler Wells. You have to be optimistic. I don''t want anything to happen to the merger. " Xue He sighed in his heart, nodding his head solemnly and promised: "Boss, I will always pay attention, and I will definitely not drag the company back." "Ok!" After Xia Yu nodded slightly, he stopped talking. He turned his head and looked through the car window to the busy Wall Street. Yu Guang happened to see a huge billboard on the World Trade Center with ";Company" written on it. Translated into Chinese, it is the Morgan company. He couldn''t help thinking of the relationship between Wall Street and the Morgan Consortium. As the real Wall Street emperor, the Morgan Consortium is secretly known as the "controller of Wall Street" and has inextricable relationships with the major financial companies on Wall Street. Many large financial companies are directly related to it. The core holding assets of the Morgan Consortium. The Morgan Consortium has also penetrated into all walks of life in the United States through Wall Street capital. Major American companies have board seats in the Morgan Consortium. It even extended its tentacles to the United States through capital flows. It can be said that the more prosperous Wall Street, the stronger the Morgan Consortium. Somehow, the influence of Xiangjiang Central suddenly appeared in Xia Yu''s mind. Central is the Hong Kong version of "Wall Street." But the gap between Central and Wall Street is very different. Why is there such a big gap, Xia Yu knew very well that even when it reached the peak of the future generations, Central was still far behind Wall Street. Not to mention that in later generations, the mainland has also risen, and Pengcheng and the magic capital have continued to divide the capital of Xiangjiang. The magic capital has come from behind to surpass Xiangjiang, and without the support of the entire continent, the peak of Xiangjiang can already be seen at a glance. Even if you only look at Southeast Asia, Star City continues to compete with Hong Kong for the throne as the financial center of Southeast Asia. Not to mention in East Asia, Tokyo is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. If this life is the same as the previous life, then the Jiuding Consortium he built will be greatly constrained. In fact, Xia Yu also felt that even now, Xiangjiang can no longer provide him with much help. In short, for his true dragon, Xiangjiang is now just a small pond, the water is too shallow! How can shallow water raise real dragons? But Xiangjiang is destined to be his lair, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up. Then the best way is to fully support the development of Xiangjiang. At the very least, the financial sector must make every effort to promote it and strive to make Xiangjiang a financial center in Southeast Asia, Asia and the world step by step. And with the time location and geographical location of Xiangjiang, it is indeed unique, much better than Star City! As long as the small pond of Xiangjiang is developed into a lake or even the sea, the influence and strength of the Jiuding Consortium will rapidly expand. One day when others mention Morgan on Wall Street, the Jiuding of Xiangjiang will subconsciously sound. just¡­¡­ Considering the development speed of the mainland and the political risks of Xiangjiang, Xia Yu feels a bit headache. The former is better. He can help the development of the mainland, and he doesn¡¯t need to be particularly anxious. In the past ten years, the importance of Xiangjiang to the mainland will not diminish. He can first attract capital from Southeast Asia and the Middle East and turn it into the rise of Xiangjiang. fertilizer. On the contrary, unstable political factors are the biggest risk. If the British guy does not move around, he will do things around and lose a stable economic environment. Even if he has an idea, he will not be able to use his energy, and he will get half the result with half the effort, or even fail. "If you leave it alone, Xiangjiang will easily follow the path of the previous life, which is not good for me. "It seems that I have to plan carefully. As long as I penetrate the upper echelons of the United Kingdom strong enough, and the impact on the United Kingdom is strong enough, whoever touches the Hong Kong River, I will use the claws, and even the proposal will not pass the two houses!" "This time there was such a big disturbance in the United States, it happened to be low-key and settled. During this time, I will do some preparatory work first." Thinking of this, Xia Yu thought secretly. ... Two days passed quickly. When Michael Bloomberg came to the designated place, he found that besides the boss Xia Yu, there was another Chinese in the office. "Boss, good morning! Sorry for being late." "Michael, you are not late, and it is not the agreed time yet." Xia Yu said with a smile, and then introduced Yan Wenhan to him: "Michael, this is Yan Wenhan, the general manager of Jiuding News Agency and Jiuding News Agency." "Hello, I am Yan Wenhan, and I look forward to working with you in the future!" "Hello, it''s my honor!" After a brief exchange of handshake, the three took their seats one after another. The first thing is naturally about the appointment of Michael Bloomberg. Because a preliminary agreement had been reached the day before yesterday, and Xia Yu did not withhold any charges, it took about forty minutes to sign Michael Bloomberg. Finished the entry agreement. His salary has increased by 50% compared to when he was at Salomon Brothers. After all, his position is different. As the company¡¯s general manager, Michael Bloomberg¡¯s salary is related to the entire company¡¯s salary system, which is too low for the company. Development is unfavorable and talents cannot be attracted. As for options, it is stated in the agreement that the agreement will be re-signed after half a year. According to the assessment result, Michael Bloomberg has no objection to this. Taking into account the initial investment, as well as the investment and development plans for the next six months, the new company will definitely develop expansively. At that time, facing extremely valuable companies, Michael Bloomberg would not dare to even take options. How big the ratio is, this has long been in Xia Yu''s calculations. From the moment Michael Bloomberg signed the agreement, he had fallen into the hole. After half a year, it was too late to regret it. Of course, it is estimated that he will not regret it by then. After Yan Wenhan puts away the agreement, he will formally discuss business matters. Xia Yu gestured to Yan Wenhan, who immediately took out the secret document and handed it to Michael Bloomberg. Xia Yu explained at the right time: "Michael, this is all the company information. You can take it back and take a closer look. You can find Yan Wenhan for the establishment and improvement of the company. The Surging News Agency should be based in Manhattan. The specific address It¡¯s up to you to choose. The company¡¯s initial capital is 50 million US dollars." Yes, the new company is called SuergNews, not Bloomberg News. The reason is that the name Bloomberg News Agency was originally taken by Michael Bloomberg using his surname Bloomberg. This word can be translated into Bloomberg or Bloomberg. If Xia Yuzhen takes it for the new company Named Bloomberg News, that''s funny. The Paper is different from Jiuding News Agency in that it only provides targeted financial information services, not the full coverage of Jiuding News Agency. Moreover, The Paper is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuding News Agency. Jiuding News Agency does not hold any equity, nor is it linked to Jiuding News Agency¡¯s parent company, Jiuding Media Group. Instead, it chooses to deal with it independently. The reason for doing so was to solve the possible constraints of The Paper in the future. As a professional financial information service provider, the financial data terminal developed in the future will definitely be supplied to traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other US official agencies, and major central banks around the world. For future promotion, Bloomberg News must downplay itself The color, maintain "completely independent operation." Only in this way can The Paper can gain a firm foothold in the US financial market and use the US advantage to attack the global market. And in order to avoid suspicion, and for better development, Jiuding News Agency will also launch professional financial service terminals to compete virtuously with The Paper. Even if there is an extremely bad situation later, it is better to exchange a part of The Paper''s equity for benefit exchange than to exchange the equity of Jiuding News Agency. "Michael, there is more information in it. Go back and read it slowly. I have something to tell you." Michael Bloomberg, who was going to read it right away, saw Xia Yu''s serious expression, and immediately narrowed his smile, looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said, "Boss, please order." Xia Yu said solemnly: "You should not disclose my information to the outside world. The Paper will maintain a completely independent operation on the bright side. The relationship with Jiuding News Agency is only an ordinary cooperative relationship on the surface. What should we do? Yan Wenhan I will remind you that all this is for the company to develop smoothly." Michael Bloomberg has been on Wall Street for more than ten years. He understands the boss Xia Yu¡¯s scruples in seconds. He also took into account the boss¡¯s complexion. After all, he just started to work and he is not easy to speak. He is very supportive of this wise decision. "Boss, I understand that I will pay attention to this in the future Michael Bloomberg nodded and said. "Ok!" "Next, if you want to make the company formal as soon as possible, you should consult with Manager Yan Wenhan, and he will help you with the company''s system improvement and personnel recruitment." After talking to Michael Bloomberg, Xia Yu turned his head and ordered Yan Wenhan: "Wenhan, Michael has just arrived. I don''t know which resources can be borrowed. You have to work hard to assist him." "Also, don''t forget what I told you just now. This is a rare opportunity." Yan Wenhan replied, "Chairman, don''t worry, I will not lose the chain." "Well, I don''t worry about your work." "Michael, I still have something to do. If you have any questions, just ask Manager Yan Wenhan." "Okay, boss, you should be busy first." High-speed text handwriting rebirth of the most powerful chapter list v3 Chapter 891: Media outbreak Early morning on September 22, Iran time. The people in Tehran, the capital of Iran, have gone to sleep, but in a corner of the city, there are still people on duty in the Tehran station of Jiuding News Agency. The white reporter Tom yawned, rubbed his eyes, forced himself to refresh himself, and spit out: "I don''t know what the company is thinking, but let us keep communication 24 hours a day and arrange duty, although now The situation between Iran and Iran is somewhat tense, but it is obviously not at the point of war." "Forget it, I''d better make a cup of coffee first, otherwise I really can''t hold it tonight." Mumbling, the white reporter Tom walked towards the closet. After a while, a cup of hot coffee is ready. He just picked up his coffee and was about to walk to the sofa, but he suddenly stopped, frowning and looking out the window, muttering: "This sound seems to be the sound of airplanes flying at low altitude, and there are still a lot of them. Where can so many airplanes come at night? ?" Subconsciously, a bad feeling arose in his heart. But before he walked to the window, he heard a series of violent bombings. "shuit, it''s a missile, the plane is bombing!" The sleepy Tom woke up instantly. He couldn''t help yelling, and at the same time threw the coffee in his hand directly, and then quickly rushed to the corner of the room to find a cover and hug his head to escape. "Boom!" "Boom boom boom..." The continuous roar awakened the whole city, and the dark Tehran was quickly lit up, and screams and exclamations came one after another. At the station of Jiuding News Agency, Tom¡¯s other colleagues also woke up one after another. After making a judgment, there was no time to wear them, so they looked for places to hide. After ¡¡¡¡ panicked, Tom found that the house had not collapsed and he was still safe. He gradually calmed down and discerned carefully, and found that the bombing sound was still blaring, but the bombing sound did not seem to be nearby. In the spirit of a media person, Tom took the courage, got up and ran to the table, picked up the camera, and quickly rushed out of the door, looking up at the sky in the distance. From time to time, he could see the red flames of the northern sky. He immediately pressed the shutter and snapped a few high-quality photos. only then carefully analyzed and observed. "Looking at the distance, it is a suburb, not a residential area." "Wait, there seems to be... the air base in Tehran!" "It must be Iraq bombing Iran''s air base!" "OhNo!" "A plane is coming here, is it going to bomb the city?" In Tom¡¯s exclamation, he was shocked to see the fire light on the east side of Tehran¡¯s city. He remembered clearly that it was an industrial zone and power supply area, which was the source of power for Tehran. He immediately raised the camera again and kept pressing the shutter. "Tom, Tom, hide, the plane is bombing the city, **** it, dangerous!" As the white reporter Tom kept shooting, his colleague rushed out shirtless, yelled and pulled him back to the house, looking for a suitable shelter to hide. As soon as he entered the room, the lights in the room flashed, and the whole room was completely dark in an instant. Obviously, the power station was blown up, and the whole city was plunged into darkness again. Some were just the flames of explosions and fires caused by explosions. The bombing lasted for half an hour, and Tom and others heard the sound of the plane going away. waited for a few minutes. After everyone confirmed that the bombing had really stopped, they immediately came out of their hiding place, some took a lighter and lit up a faint flame, and started looking for spare candles. After lighting the candles and confirming that everyone is intact, everyone was relieved. "Fortunately, the plane did not bomb our house!" "The power has been cut off now, and the backup generator is quickly activated. I took some photos and uploaded them back to the company." The white reporter Tom said loudly, everyone was busy again. After ten minutes of tossing, the room was powered on again, and everyone performed their duties, striving to send the news back to the company as soon as possible. At this moment, the advantage of Jiuding News Agency is reflected. Because Jiuding News Agency has three communication satellites capable of covering the whole world, even if Tehran has cut off the communication signal of the whole city due to power outage, it will not affect their fax messages. The time in Tehran, Iran, is eight and a half hours faster than that in New York, USA. Although it is early in the morning in Tehran, New York is only about 5 in the afternoon. When news of Tehran, Iran¡¯s airstrikes spread to New York, the global secondary news processing center of New York Jiuding News Agency attached great importance to the news immediately, and at the same time reported it at all levels. At 5:15, the news was delivered to the female anchor of CNN News. After finishing a piece of local news, the background immediately switched to a photo taken by Tom, and the beautiful female anchor at the table reported with a serious face: "Now we are interrupting an important international news. Just an hour ago, it was two in the morning in Tehran, Iran. At eighteen points, Tehran was hit by an air attack by an unknown aircraft group... Next, our news and the "USA Today" newspaper will provide you with the latest information as soon as possible, so stay tuned!" The viewers who were watching the news were shocked, and then one by one, many viewers immediately switched to the CNN channel, and most of the viewers who did not open CNN News Network, some of them were also prepared to pay for the CNN signal after realizing the efficiency of CNN . After receiving the news from CNN, other large news media such as ABC and CBS also dispatched reporters to the airport as soon as possible, preparing to travel to the Middle East to get news in the field. The first bite of soup was eaten by CNN, and the newspapers "USA Today" will also be ahead of them. They naturally have to race against time to get the latest news and information, trying to win the game. But what surprised some media groups was that before they left the United States, some evening papers began to report more detailed news. For a while, the sales of these evening papers skyrocketed. These evening papers are the newspapers that Jiuding News acquired in the United States. In addition, the "USA Today" newspaper mentioned by CNN was also passed on to the ears of interested people through word of mouth. These people immediately called the "USA Today" newspaper to prepare an order. is not only the United States. Britain, France, Germany, island countries, Hong Kong and other places, as long as Jiuding Newspaper Company has newspapers, they are adding news as much as possible. News of Tehran''s air strike spread to the world at an extremely fast speed. When the United States enters the night, dawn is ushered in the Middle East. The reporters of Jiuding News Agency in Iraq and Iran spread out to obtain a steady stream of high-quality news, which was transmitted to the Xiangjiang News Processing Center and the New York News Processing Center as soon as possible. Level center. The morning sun is rising, and New York once again ushered in a new day. Practitioners in the financial industry got up early and took out the "USA Today" newspaper in their mailbox. More people go straight to the street and buy the "USA Today" newspaper from the newsstand. "USA Today", which was originally known as the first national newspaper, had soared sales this morning. Even if Yan Wenhan was prepared, he had to issue additional printing orders again and again. According to Yan Wenhan¡¯s estimation, USA Today, which originally sold more than 300,000 copies in the United States, relies on first-hand detailed exclusive news. Today, there is great hope to directly exceed one million copies of sales. After all, this newspaper directly covers All America. Unlike other flagship newspapers of the US branch, the "New York Daily News", "Houston Chronicle", and "Washington Star" are all very localized. Even today, they will analyze the reports from different angles and sales volume. The increase will definitely not have the horror of the "USA Today" newspaper. One or two hours passed quickly, and the New York Mercantile Exchange officially opened. The Wall Street alligators who have already geared up quickly entered the market with surging funds The goal is very clear, that is, the oil futures contract. Buy! Strong buy! Do more crazy! Everyone knows that the war in the Middle East is coming along with Iraq¡¯s vacancy, and the shortage of oil is coming. The global oil supply will be affected, and oil futures prices are bound to skyrocket! The sharp rise in oil futures prices has further shaken the financial market. Financial institutions and investors are doing everything possible to find the latest relevant information and try to make the most accurate analysis and judgment. I searched and searched, and in the end, they were all locked in newspapers such as CNN and USA Today. Although other news media reported relevant news, they all followed the trend. They seemed worthless in front of CNN and USA Today. The reporters of these news media are still changing in Europe. Even if they really arrive in Iran, they still need time to carry out their work, and some are waiting! At 2 o''clock in the morning on September 23, Iranian time, Iraq used the 5th Division and 2 Brigade and more than 1,200 tanks to launch an offensive against Iran from the North, Central, and South. The reporter of Jiuding News Agency, who had been waiting at the border for a long time, used a camera to photograph the spectacular scene of the army''s mighty movement, and then quickly transmitted it back to the company via the communication satellite. A steady stream of high-quality news is sent to the world through Jiuding News Agency, and the sales of major media under the Jiuding Consortium have ushered in a skyrocket, leaving an excellent impression in the hearts of our customers. The benefits of oil futures have not yet been confiscated, and the Iran-Iraq war has brought a wave of benefits to Xia Yu. ~: Please take 2 days off due to epidemic prevention work During the Chinese New Year, I took a day off at home and was notified to return to work.

What Xia Yu needs to do is to instruct the Galaxy Fund to flee at the price he thinks is appropriate. As for the general election, it has gradually become clear that Ronald Reagan has the upper hand. Whether it is Jimmy Carter or the Democratic Party, both are eagerly jumping and looking for opportunities to try to comeback. And the best thing to check is undoubtedly the hostage crisis. As long as the imprisoned hostage is rescued and he shows his strong skills, there is still a certain chance. However, Xia Yu is very clear, and the Republican Party also understands the Democratic Party¡¯s ideas very well, so it will absolutely obstruct it. With the influence of the Rockefeller Foundation in the Middle East, it is not easy to make small moves to drag Jimmy Carter back. Furthermore, although there are more Democratic seats in the House of Representatives, the Republican Party in the Senate is the majority party, and Jimmy Carter is now a veritable lame president. As long as the Republican Party leader Benjamin Carr does the ideological work within the Republican Party, even if Jimmy Carter''s rescue plan can pass the House of Representatives, it will be sent back by the Senate. It''s just over a month before the end of the general election. At this point, the Republican Party can still resist the pressure. Regardless of how various media outlets create suspense for sales and positions, it cannot change the fact that Ronald Reagan will eventually win. So Xia Yu doesn''t need to worry at all, just wait for a while and attend Ronald Reagan''s celebration banquet. Xia Yu, who suddenly relaxed, relaxed for a few days in New York. By the way, he calmly sorted out his career in the United States, constantly checking for deficiencies. In this investigation, Xia Yu suddenly realized that his career in the United States is no longer small. There are five banners in finance, namely, Galaxy Fund, Jiuding Securities, Polaris Capital, Bridgewater Fund, and Tiger Fund. The first three have a certain relationship with him on the surface, while the latter two are still hidden in secret. As for Philip Brothers, Salomon Brothers, and insurance companies, they are either under Polaris Capital or Galaxy Fund. A series of other retail, biomedical, and technology companies that have acquired or invested in the United States are almost also under Polaris Capital. Although these acquired companies are basically still in the early stages of their rise, if all of them are counted, Polaris Capital can also be regarded as a small consortium. As long as these investment or acquisition companies rise, Polaris Capital can quickly rise to become a large Consortium. This is also Xia Yu''s initial plan to create a subordinate consortium of the Jiuding Consortium in the United States, but it will be relatively independent and so easy to develop. After sorting it out in this way, Xia Yu realized that the future Polaris consortium is still missing the most important thing, and that is the financial core of the consortium-banks! Insurance companies cannot play the core role of finance due to functional problems. "Take advantage of the fact that most of the companies under Polaris Capital still need a certain amount of time to rise, and it is at this time to acquire a potential small and medium-sized bank, so that these companies and banks can complement each other and grow together!" As for the acquisition of large banks? Xia Yu gave up on this point for a while, because he knew very well that today''s large banks all have owners, even if they are not controlled by the top ten consortia in the United States, they are controlled by other consortia. After all, the United States is a country where consortia are rampant, and under the aura of the top ten consortia, there are still many large consortia. Although many small and medium-sized banks are also controlled by the top ten consortia, the acquisition difficulty is much lower than that of large banks. Of course, if it is possible to acquire a large bank, he will definitely try it. With this in mind, Xia Yu immediately ordered his subordinates to order air tickets to San Francisco. He needs to buy a western bank, preferably in San Francisco, so that it fits the positioning of the Polaris consortium, and also allows the Polaris consortium to gain a foothold. The Eastern Consortium pushed forward. Seven of the ten largest consortia in the United States are in the East. There are too many established powers and the cake is basically set. The competition is particularly fierce. Moreover, the Eastern Consortium is a powerful family consortium. Which one is Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, and DuPont? The cohesion and execution power of these consortia is not comparable to that of ordinary combined consortia. It is difficult for his Polaris consortium to rise up here. Even if it does, it will be spotted by this large group of crocodiles. Under their noses, Xia Yu is not at ease. , Unless he has been guarding in the United States, but this is obviously impossible! So the eastern states were excluded by Xia Yu from the beginning. In this way, the second largest continent in the United States, which is almost as powerful as New York State, is the best choice as the core of the western region. Not to mention that California ranks first in the United States in terms of economic output in future generations, with great potential and fertile soil, suitable for large consortia to take root and grow. Moreover, the Western Consortium emerged in the later stage. Except for the top ten consortiums, the only available consortium is the California consortium, although the California consortium currently ranks third in the United States in terms of total assets. But in many cases, the California consortium still has to join the Chicago consortium in the Midwest and the Texas consortium in the south to warm up and resist the attack of the Eastern consortium. Xia Yu knows very well that even if these three consortia are grouped together, it is difficult for them to resist the offensive of the Eastern Consortium. Just like today, the Chicago consortium has been heavily penetrated by the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium, and the competition between the two has a tendency to become apparent. The McCormick family, the Wood family, and the Krone family that make up the Chicago consortium are almost overwhelmed. . As for the Texas consortium, although it has close cooperation with the California consortium because of the military industry, it has close ties with the Rockefeller consortium because of the other pillar of the oil industry. It is destined to be a second-to-five son and unreliable. Therefore, the capital strength of the western part of the United States is far less than that of the eastern part, which is more suitable for the growth of the Polaris consortium. Although California is the territory of the California consortium, and San Francisco is the sub-center of the California consortium second only to Los Angeles, Xia Yu is not in the slightest. Anyway, the United States is currently the second largest continent after New York State, and there is still room for a large consortium to stand on. Even if the California consortium is a financially powerful consortium, but it really wants to take a stand and fight with Xia Yu in the financial field, not to mention the big words of 730, Xia Yu is still confident in five or five. Two days later, Xia Yu came to San Francisco again. This time he told Peter Lynch not to pick up the plane and seize the time to collect information about banks in the west. After returning to San Francisco, Xia Yu returned to his luxurious villa in the wealthy area of ??Atherton in the South Bay of San Francisco. After a brief day of rest, he came to Polaris Capital, which had not been here for a few months, and saw the waiting at the door. By Peter Lynch. "Boss, good morning!" "Peter, long time no see, thank you very much." "It''s not hard, this is my duty." "Take me to see the company. I haven''t seen it for a few months. The company seems to have changed a lot." "Okay, please follow me." ... After a brief greeting, Xia Yu walked upstairs with Peter Lynch. It took Xia Yu more than half an hour to get a brief understanding, and what he saw made him very satisfied. Although the 30-storey office building was bought by Polaris Capital, most of the floors were rented to other companies, and Polaris Capital did not occupy many floors. But up to now, Polaris Capital has occupied more than half of the floors, reaching the sixteenth floor, and the remaining fourteenth floor tenants are gradually being retired. More floors are used, and it is clear that the staff has increased. Compared with the beginning, Polaris Capital''s staff has increased by more than ten times, but looking along the way, Xia Yu found that everything in the company is in order, and there has been no management confusion caused by the surge in staff. From this point, it can reflect Peter Lynch''s superb management ability. Finally, Xia Yu came to his office. Although he hasn''t been here for a long time, his office is still not stained, and the green leaves in the corner are dripping. Peter Lynch said in a timely manner: "Boss, when you are away, your office is cleaned every day." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Well I am very satisfied." After speaking, Xia Yu came to the sofa and sat down, and Peter Lynch continued: "Boss, wait a while, I will get you some documents." After all, Peter Lynch left the office. After about a minute, his figure appeared again, with two more folders in his arms. Peter Lynch came to Xia Yu, handed the two folders to Xia Yu, and said: "Boss, these two folders, the top is the company''s entire situation, and the brief development log, the bottom is you The information of Western Bank is needed." PS: Resuming the update, although it is due to work, but late is late, sorry! After so many days, there are brothers to give rewards, tirelessly voting, shame, thank you! () Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 893: The core of the future Polaris consortium (2 Xia Yu first opened the first folder and browsed. In addition to the basic situation of Polaris Capital, it is the operating situation of the company it invests in. Genentech, Amgen, Home Depot, Abbott... all companies have the same situation. Each company has its first quarter and second quarter financial reports, and its operating conditions are clear at a glance. It''s just that because most companies are in the early stages of development, the financial reports are not eye-catching, and even have been input and output, but Xia Yu doesn''t care, as long as he sees the money is spent on the ground. After browsing, the situation of Polaris Capital was updated in his mind, and overall no problems were found. Xia Yu, who was relieved, closed the first folder and put it aside, and turned over the second folder. I took a closer look and found that the first four pages were all directories. Looking at the serial number, there were 87 banks listed. No wonder I opened the folder and found that the files inside were so thick. If you think about it, it has been less than two days since Xia Yu called Peter Lynch when he was about to come to San Francisco in New York to do this work. This efficiency is too efficient. If you do well, you must praise, Xia Yu couldn''t help but admire: "Peter, your work is very efficient and you did a good job!" Peter Lynch smiled and said: "Boss, I have been paying attention to the banking industry before. Especially in the first half of this year, the interest rate fluctuation of the banking industry reached the highest in the past ten years, so I have long been asking people to collect information about the banking industry. Whether there is an investment opportunity, after you ordered me, I just found out that these 87 banks are selected targets that have acquisition value in the western United States." Xia Yu suddenly understood that because of the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and the impact of inflation, the history of the United States did indeed have a banking crisis in the early 1980s. Thousands of banks failed, and the core banks of the top ten consortia all failed. The total number of banks in the U.S. dropped sharply from more than 70,000 to more than 50,000, and it took more than a decade to reach more than 70,000 again. This time the work of collecting intelligence seemed accidental, but it was inevitable. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Anyway, you did a good job." Peter Lynch smiled and nodded slightly to Xia Yu and said nothing. Lowering his head again, Xia Yu first browsed the catalog carefully, looking for banks that are still well-known in later generations. According to the historical trajectory, banks that can survive and grow after more than 30 years are definitely the best acquisition targets among these banks. . Not to mention, when Xia Yu turned to the third page, he saw the name of the bank in the first line and couldn''t help his eyes. WELLSFARGO! Translated, it''s Wells Fargo! In the later generations, the only AAA-rated bank in the United States, Wells Fargo, once known as the First Bank of the Universe, has alternated with China ICBC on the throne of the First Bank of the Universe four times! Although it was surpassed later, it is still one of the four major U.S. banks, with a market value of around 200 billion U.S. dollars, and even close to 300 billion U.S. dollars at high times! The four major American banks in later generations were the Bank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citibank Group. Of course the bank is. Morgan and Chase Manhattan Bank merged in 2000. Before the merger, the two were the financial cores of the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, respectively. The later Bank of America did not change its name at this time. It was also called Bank of America. It was the largest bank in the United States and the second largest in the world, and the financial core of the California consortium. Not to mention the Citibank Group, the core of the first Citibank Consortium, the second largest bank in the United States and the third largest bank in the world. Therefore, the only opportunity among the four major US banks is Wells Fargo. Although there are still dozens of bank names in the catalog, but Xia Yu didn''t even bother to read it at this time. No matter how brilliant the future is, can it be more brilliant than Wells Fargo? Since Peter Lynch included the information, it proves that Wells Fargo has a relatively large acquisition possibility. Even if Xia Yu knew that Wells Fargo should belong to a California consortium, there was a sense of expectation in his heart. With expectations, Xia Yu turned to the location of Wells Fargo Bank according to the page number and read it carefully. Wells Fargo Bank, founded in 1852, is headquartered in San Francisco... Because he cared, Xia Yu watched it very carefully. There were ten aspects of the content. After watching it for nearly twenty minutes, he had a clear idea of ??the Wells Fargo Bank at this time. At this time, Wells Fargo was indeed only a medium-sized bank, and its activities were basically in California, and 60% were in southern California. Moreover, Wells Fargo¡¯s main business is very distinctive. It is a community bank. It can be said that it is dedicated to retail. The business of community banks accounts for more than 80% of Wells Fargo Bank. Most of Wells Fargo¡¯s savings come from community retail accounts. The cooperation of large enterprises is more based on loans. Because Wells Fargo has not yet been listed, the information is not easy to collect. The most representative of the data is Wells Fargo¡¯s 1979 financial report. The annual report shows that as of December 1979, Wells Fargo¡¯s total assets were 21.4 billion U.S. dollars, and the total loan amount was 15.6 billion U.S. dollars, of which personal housing mortgage loans were 4 billion U.S. dollars. Although Wells Fargo has total assets of US$21.4 billion, it is an out-and-out medium-sized bank in the United States, where the financial industry is developed. The equity of Wells Fargo Bank is only US$830 million. Owner¡¯s equity can be considered as net assets, because in accounting, owner¡¯s equity refers to the ownership of the company¡¯s net assets by corporate investors. This includes the capital invested by corporate investors, as well as the capital reserve, surplus reserve and undistributed profits formed in the business activities of the company. It is the source of corporate assets, and the relationship is expressed by the formula: assets = liabilities + owner''s equity. So don¡¯t look at Wells Fargo¡¯s total assets of 21.4 billion U.S. dollars, but that money belongs to the depositors, and Wells Fargo is only escrow. For the entire year of 1979, Wells Fargo¡¯s net profit was 130 million U.S. dollars. The U.S. financial industry is currently in a recession. None of the top ten companies in the U.S. is a financial company. The current general P/E ratio of the banking industry is around five, which is still less than the P/E ratio of about ten times that of later generations. According to the universal price-earnings ratio of five times, the market value of the unlisted Wells Fargo Bank should be 650 million US dollars, which is lower than the net assets of Wells Fargo Bank. This sounds undoubtedly outrageous, but it is true now, whether it is Bank of America or Citibank, it is almost the same, and the market value is just over 10 billion US dollars. The financial downturn has been dragged down by the overall environment and has a certain relationship with the global oil crisis. Currently, five of the top ten companies in the United States are oil companies. Having said that, this year because of the overall environment, inflation in the United States has been quite serious, which has caused drastic fluctuations in the federal funds rate, which has caused a series of bad results. Last year, Wells Fargo¡¯s spread was around 4.47%, but the research team of Polaris Capital, based on market conditions, calculated that Wells Fargo¡¯s spread this year would be less than 4%, which means that this year¡¯s net profit will be lower than last year. Not only that, because of the violent fluctuations in the federal funds rate, Wells Fargo has to spend more to absorb reserves from the outside world, but in response to market fluctuations, Wells Fargo''s benchmark interest rate has to be adjusted accordingly. For example, according to the data, the preferential interest rate announced by Wells Fargo Bank was 15%, which rose to 20% in April, but fell to 11% at the end of July, but at the end of September, with the start of the Iran-Iraq War, the interest rate rose to twenty one%! This interest rate fluctuates in real time, but the previous interest rates for loans and bonds are fixed. Wells Fargo¡¯s financial report last year disclosed that the average lending rate for a total of 15.6 billion loans was 12.7%, of which the lowest interest rate for bonds was $1.67 billion and only 9.3% for personal housing mortgage loans. The second lowest interest rate of ten thousand US dollars is 10.3%, and there are real estate development loans and so on. Now with the increase in the federal funds rate, the market bond prices have fallen, and the decline has exceeded 10%. If these bonds are cleaned up now, Wells Fargo will have a loss of 160 million US dollars. After zero and zero, there are about 9.5 billion U.S. dollars in assets with maturity in more than one year. If all are calculated based on the 10% loss of the bond, these assets will be cleaned up at this time. The loss of 100 million US dollars will reach 950 million US dollars, which is more than the net assets of Wells Fargo Bank of 830 million US dollars, and Wells Fargo will go bankrupt. Fortunately, the maturity date of these assets is more than one year. As long as the federal funds rate is lower than 10% before the maturity date of the asset comes, Wells Fargo will not be unlucky. Even in this case, the analysis also evaluated Wells Fargo as a rather conservative bank and a potential stock. From this, one can imagine how much pressure other banks with aggressive investments face such a harsh environment. It is no wonder that over the past few years, more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000 banking institutions will close down. Even among the top ten consortia, consortia cannot save their core major banks, and they watched it fail. At the end of the data, an analysis was made on the difficulty of the acquisition of Wells Fargo Bank. Although Wells Fargo belongs to the California consortium, the California consortium does not value it. After all, it is only a medium-sized bank that has not yet exited the state of California. The shareholding ratio of the California consortium is about 43%, which has not reached a relative control. In addition to Wells Fargo Bank, the California Consortium has more than a dozen financial institutions, including Bank of America, Western Bank, Safe Pacific Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, and Crocker National Bank. Which one is not bigger than Wells Fargo Bank? Not to mention multinational banks such as Bank of America and interstate regional banks such as Western Banks, but in the San Francisco area, Wells Fargo Bank is inferior to Wells Fargo Bank and Crocker National Bank. Therefore, the analysis stated that the California consortium does not value Wells Fargo. In the face of the current sluggish banking industry and the huge risk of interest rate fluctuations, the California consortium is definitely worried about adding more information to the bank to resist risks. But there are too many banks under the California Consortium, and because of their strength, there is also huge pressure. Therefore, as long as the bid is right, the California consortium will not refuse to sell Wells Fargo''s equity. However, the analysis also said that although Wells Fargo is a medium-sized bank, its investment is conservative and its ability to withstand pressure is relatively stronger. The California consortium also knows a certain potential. If it wants to acquire, it does not rule out the suspicion of the Lions of the Wells Fargo Board of Directors. A conservative estimate , The purchase price must be more than one billion US dollars. The number of billion dollars not only didn''t make Xia Yu entangled, but he was relieved, and he was very happy. There is no doubt that the analysis department of Polaris Capital underestimated the potential of Wells Fargo. Had Xia Yu been a rebirth, he would have made similar judgments. In his thoughts, the California consortium¡¯s assessment of Wells Fargo would be similar to that in the current information. This is an excellent opportunity. According to the situation of later generations, it is undoubtedly quite wise for Wells Fargo to focus on the development of community banks at this time, and the development model is excellent. As long as we can stick to this model to develop, we will still become the top big bank in the United States. If it is acquired at this time, then the Polaris consortium will establish Optimus Prime, which is based in the United States, and it will not be afraid to head-to-head with the Bank of America of the California consortium, not to mention that he will add a gold finger halo to Wells Fargo. It will be quite amazing. Therefore, Xia Yu did not hesitate and stopped reading the information of other banks. He directly handed the information to Peter Lynch. When the latter looked at the information, Xia Yu solemnly said: "Peter, it is most important to hand you one. The mission of this Wells Fargo Bank, you must do your best to acquire it." "Don''t say it''s a billion dollars, even if it''s 1.5 billion or even 2 billion dollars, it doesn''t matter, I only have one to complete, and I will acquire it wholly!" "Polaris Capital and all companies under it need it!" Peter Lynch flashed a flash of lightning in his mind, and at the same time he understood the purpose of the boss Xia Yu instantly. The boss is planning to take Wells Fargo as the center and attract all the companies under Polaris Capital to form a consortium! He only felt the blood flow accelerating, and couldn''t help but look at Xia Yu and asked, "Boss, do you want to build a consortium?" Peter Lynch could see through his own purpose at once, but Xia Yu was not surprised. Peter Lynch has been on Wall Street where there are many consortiums for many years. He must have done a lot of research on consortia, and it is normal to see it. In the United States, where consortia are in full swing, it is normal and common for large and small companies and family newspapers to form consortia, so Xia Yu did not hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, I have this idea, so you understand the acquisition. Is Wells Fargo important?" Although I don¡¯t know why the boss gave Wells Fargo a glance, Peter Lynch didn¡¯t ask. He was uplifted and nodded openly and said: ¡°I understand, boss, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely buy Wells Fargo.¡± Xia Yu nodded Because he cared, he reassured Peter Lynch again and said: "Peter, now that the oil crisis is breaking out, it will have a great impact on the financial industry. We must seize the opportunity. Try to acquire Wells Fargo Bank before the end of this year. It doesn''t matter if the price is high. Of course, if you can keep the price down, I won''t be stingy with bonuses at the end of the year." Peter Lynch solemnly responded: "Boss, I won''t let you down." After that, Peter Lynch hurriedly left the office to build the Wells Fargo acquisition team. Xia Yu stayed at the company until about 11:10, and received a notice from the employee. He immediately called Li Wuming downstairs to go back. The person he was waiting for had already arrived, and it was time to go back. PS: Due to work reasons, I can only code words late at night, please forgive me, this chapter is 4200 words Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 894: Achievements and frustrations "Chairman!" "Chairman!" As soon as Xia Yu walked out of the elevator, he heard a slightly surprised voice. Following the reputation, Xia Yu saw Yan Wenhan walking towards him quickly. Not only that, beside Yan Wenhan, there was another person who surprised him very much. He was Jiang Zhiqiang, the general manager of Global Cinemas. "Xeon, when did you come to America?" Xia Yu first smiled at Yan Wenhan and then asked Jiang Zhiqiang with a smile. He knew Yan Wenhan came to San Francisco because he had reported to him some time ago. But Jiang Zhiqiang came to the United States, he really did not know. Jiang Zhiqiang explained embarrassingly: "Chairman, I came to the United States because of the distribution of a film. I know you are in the United States, but you know everything, so I''m not embarrassed to disturb you." Xia Yu smiled and understood Jiang Zhiqiang''s mentality, and asked casually: "I haven''t paid attention to the movie for a long time, what''s the result?" The smile on Jiang Zhiqiang''s face froze, and his face appeared embarrassed. Xia Yu''s expression moved and realized that Jiang Zhiqiang might be in trouble. This is not a suitable place to talk about things. Moreover, it is not early. So before Jiang Zhiqiang said, "It''s not early, go to my place first. Let''s talk about other things later." Jiang Zhiqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay." Then, the group walked out of the hall and drove to Xia Yu''s home in San Francisco. After more than ten minutes, I finally got home. After getting off the bus, Yan Wenhan and Jiang Zhiqiang could not help but marvel after seeing Xia Yu''s spacious mansion. Of course, it is not known how much flattering there is. "Let''s go, this is not a company. Feel free to treat it as your own home, and do whatever you want." "I''ll go back to the room first." After speaking, Xia Yu left Yan Wenhan, Jiang Zhiqiang and Li Wuming behind and walked towards the stairs on his own. After all, they are all colleagues, and the three of them are very familiar. Seeing that the chairman is not there, they are not so restrained. The three of them chatted in a low voice, and Jiang Xieqiang boiled water to make tea during the chat. ... At 1:13, the people who were full of wine and food came to the sofa again and sat down, drinking tea comfortably. After taking a sip, Xia Yu put down the tea cup, looked at Yan Wenhan, and asked: "Wenhan, has the San Francisco Chronicle taken it?" Yan Wenhan suddenly smiled, nodded and replied: "The acquisition has been completed. The agreement was signed yesterday morning, and he is now doing the takeover work." "But this morning I came directly from the "San Francisco Chronicle" newspaper. The agreement was still in the hotel and was not brought over." Xia Yu nodded slightly, admiringly said: "It doesn''t matter, just buy it. With this newspaper, the newspaper company will be considered a banner in the western United States." Yan Wenhan said with a smile: ¡°Yes, the San Francisco Chronicle is the second only newspaper on the West Coast of the United States after the Los Angeles Times. It ranks 12th in sales in the country. This newspaper is not controlled by a large consortium, so Only by being severely suppressed by the Los Angeles Times can we have the opportunity to be acquired." "The San Francisco Chronicle was formed by the merger of the original San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Observer in 1965. It is now the only daily newspaper in San Francisco. Owning it, Jiuding News will be able to stand firm in San Francisco. heel." ¡°It¡¯s just zoomed in to the entire West Coast. There is still a big gap between the big newspaper groups. Although USA Today has spread to the West Coast, there is still some way to go. So I plan to use San Francisco as the center and in the surrounding states. The city''s acquisition of some newspapers has allowed Da Jiuding Newspaper to expand and consolidate its influence." Xia Yu commented: "This idea is correct. Just follow your plan. As long as you don¡¯t get involved, you should seize the opportunity to expand in the past few years. Don¡¯t be limited to print media. Local TV and radio stations can be purchased. Funding is not a problem. ." Xia Yu knew that before 1983, the media industry in the United States was still relatively scattered. Although there have been many major newspaper groups, their strength is not particularly strong. After News Corp. took shape, under Murdoch¡¯s stimulus, major newspaper groups were forced to develop by leaps and bounds, and consortia increased their control over the media. From TV stations to newspapers, as long as they are related to the media, they will gradually Gathering together, it was much more difficult to hunt at that time. It''s not so easy to spit out in the mouth of a big consortium. Xia Yu''s support and recognition made Yan Wenhan''s heart settled. He smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, Chairman, I will make a detailed plan for the company to expand steadily." Xia Yu nodded slightly and stopped talking, his eyes shifted to Jiang Xieqiang, who had been silent, and the latter immediately sat upright. Xia Yu asked in a gentle and rainy manner: "Xeon, tell me about the current situation of the company." I thought the chairman would ask him about the troubles he encountered in the United States, but he didn''t expect to be asking about the current situation of the company. He was stunned, pondered for a long time to rationalize his ideas, and said: "Chairman, after a series of subsequent acquisitions, the company currently has 208 cinemas with property rights, including 30 in Hong Kong and Macau, 162 in Southeast Asia, and 16 in island countries." "In addition, there are as many as 98 theaters in Asia that have joined our global cinema company." "The total number of distribution networks in our company has reached 306!" "At present, whether in Hong Kong or in Southeast Asia, our global cinemas rank first in the industry, and the second-ranked Shaw Cinemas has more than two hundred distribution networks." "Moreover, because we have activated the share system and received unanimous support from film makers, the Shaw Cinemas is not our opponent at all, but the Shaw Cinemas is already changing, and we are learning how to transform the theater into a multi-hall theater. Unlike our strong assistance from Jiuding Infrastructure, the speed of transformation is very low." "Due to film source issues, the Shaw Cinemas has already fallen into a loss." "So our company''s leading position in Asia is relatively stable." "In terms of revenue, the company''s total revenue exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the first half of 1980, of which Chinese films accounted for 74% and foreign language films accounted for 26%..." Xia Yu listened quietly. Generally speaking, these data satisfy him. The revenue of 100 million Hong Kong dollars seems to be very low, but combined with the total Southeast Asian and East Asian film markets, it is already amazing. According to this trend, revenue can be achieved in one year. Reached 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Think about it at this time, the total annual box office of Hong Kong''s local movies is only 200 million Hong Kong dollars. The annual revenue is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. In accordance with the high net interest rate of the theaters and the heavy asset operation of the global theaters, the theaters are self-operated and there is no rent pressure. Therefore, the net profit of 50 to 60 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely there. The capital market estimates The value can reach 500 million Hong Kong dollars, squeezing into the top 80 of Hong Kong enterprises. "The speed of development is very fast, it did a good job and didn''t disappoint me. After Jiang Zhiqiang finished speaking, Xia Yu said with satisfaction. Jiang Zhiqiang was humble again and again. But because of his good grades, Xia Yu was curious about what problems Jiang Zhiqiang encountered. So he changed the conversation and suddenly asked: "Xeon, have you encountered any difficulties when you came to the United States this time?" Jiang Zhiqiang''s smile was stagnant, and he pursed his lips and sighed: "Yes, we failed to open up the American market. From mid-July to the end of August this year, Galaxy Film Company produced a movie that hit Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, so I and Wu Siyuan has high hopes to see if it can open the US market in one go." "So at the end of August I personally brought that movie to the United States, but I didn''t expect it to hit the street." Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiqiang has an ugly face and is extremely unwilling to and feels very useless. That movie was really good, but because of being stalked by it, the results were directly hit, and he was so embarrassed to lose, how willing he was. But this is the territory of others, and the strength of the global cinema chain is far inferior to that of others. If the enemy is determined to make money, he will be subdued, and he can only admit it. However, I met Yan Wenhan today and was told that the chairman Xia Yu was coming to San Francisco. He struggled for a long time, and still followed Yan Wenhan with a cheeky face, expecting the chairman to call him the shots. After all, he has self-knowledge. Without the support of the chairman, even with the current strength and development speed of the global cinema chain, he would not know how to break into the US market. But if the chairman is willing to call the shots, then... Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiqiang raised his head and looked at Xia Yu, his eyes faintly showing hope and anxiety. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 895: Layout France Xia Yu asked without expression for three consecutive times: "What is the name of this movie? Has it been released in the United States? How much is the box office?" Jiang Zhiqiang immediately replied: "The movie''s name is "King of the Killers". It is a kung fu movie. It was released on September 12, but it was released on September 27. The US box office... one hundred and seven thousand dollars. " Xia Yu raised his brows, thinking he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "How much? One hundred and seven thousand dollars?" Jiang Zhiqiang''s face burned, and he lowered his head awkwardly and said, "Yes." After confirming that it was correct, Xia Yu was not satisfied. One hundred and seven thousand U.S. dollars is only more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. Even if there is no publicity cost, the income after dividing the share of the cooperative issuer and the US theater is estimated to be more than one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, which is too small. And for this one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, it is also divided between Universal Cinemas Company and Galaxy Film Company. Whether the two companies can squeeze into the top 100 companies in Hong Kong, they will divide the money, or 15 days of income, and say it. Make people laugh out loud. Said it was his Xia Yu company, he couldn''t afford this person! And counting the time, it was released after only half a month of release. Normal movies were released for four weeks, which was released almost half the time in advance, which is too abnormal! Xia Yu suppressed a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, and said calmly: "I will talk about the details." Seeing that chairman Xia Yu was not angry, Jiang Zhiqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started from the beginning. "Chairman, this is the situation." "At the end of last year, Universal Agency signed Cheng Long, and Galaxy Film Company took Cheng Long as the protagonist. Two Kung Fu movies were made. Each movie¡¯s box office in Hong Kong exceeded 7 million. Manager Chen Shufen thinks Cheng Long The potential is huge, so together with Manager Wu Siyuan, we plan to make Cheng Long into another''Bruce Lee'', so I carefully crafted a script "King of Killers" and used the best team to produce the finished product after three months." "After the release, "King of the Killer" really caught fire, and the local box office of Hong Kong reached more than HK$13 million, breaking the Hong Kong box office record in one fell swoop." "Not only that, the total box office outside of Hong Kong reached more than 24 million Hong Kong dollars, which also set a record." "Then I brought "King of Killers" to Hollywood with confidence. The first company I found was Universal Pictures that I had a little cooperation with before, and wanted to reach a cooperation with it to release "King of Killers". In this way, a good cooperative relationship will be built and pave the way for future film releases." "But Universal Pictures was only willing to buy out. When it comes to talking about it, it was only willing to give a buyout price of $150,000." "Then I looked for other film companies, all of them were very proud. No one was willing to divide it up, only to buy out." "The potential of "King of Killers" is huge. I am unwilling to be bought out, so I searched for theatrical distribution by myself. The first few major theaters in the United States such as AMC and Ximanke are basically the world of the eight major Hollywood giants. The split is pressed very low, the point is that you can''t get enough screens." "So in order to plan for long-term channels, I also found several small and medium-sized theaters to sign cooperation agreements. I plan to pilot the broadcast first, and then use this as a stepping stone to open the door to other theaters." "It''s just that the lack of publicity partners leads to inadequate publicity, so the performance of the screenings is average. On the fourth day of gradual improvement, the several theaters we cooperated adjusted our "King of the Killer" to midnight. The screen was taken away by the movie "Melvin and Howard" being screened by Universal Pictures. There were not many audiences at midnight. Because the attendance rate was not high, "Killer King" was released after two weeks. ." "After I finished the painting, the people from Universal Pictures found me again and wanted to buy out the copyright of "King of Killers" for $30,000. I didn''t agree. The people from the distribution department of Universal Pictures later threatened me. If we don¡¯t cooperate with them, we cannot enter the American market." Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiqiang''s arrogant and insidious face and superior posture of the Universal Cinema Company appeared in his mind. He could not help clenching his fists and sighed in his chest. "Chairman, Universal Pictures Company is deliberately squeezing our resources. I have consulted those theater companies for theory, but they clearly told me that they cannot refuse Universal Pictures'' request." "They are robbers. I''m not reconciled. At such a low price, I would rather not make a point than I would be killed by Universal Pictures." Seeing the expression of excitement and resentment on Jiang Zhiqiang''s face, Xia Yu was also annoyed, but he also knew that Jiang Zhiqiang did his best. Xia Yu is very aware of the xenophobia and dominance of Hollywood giants. Hollywood is controlled by Jews even in later generations. Wall Street Capital does not know how coveted it is, and has been trying to infiltrate and control it. And Universal Pictures, which suppressed Universal Cinemas, originally lived in the tail of the top eight Hollywood giants, but after cooperating with Spielberg five years ago to produce "Jaws", it has risen again, and in the next few years it has cooperated with Spear. Berg and George Lucas have cooperated, and now Universal Pictures has rushed into the top of the eight Hollywood giants, with great influence. With Universal Pictures'' voice in the film industry, it is not easy to oppress several small and medium-sized cinema companies. What''s more, the U.S. cinema industry has not yet integrated. Even the top four cinema companies in the United States together account for less than 20% of the screens in the United States. The cinema companies are simply unable to hold on to the eight Hollywood giants. Come. Moreover, the Hong Kong film has not yet reached its golden age, and its influence is limited to Asia. At this time, the European and American worlds simply look down on Asia. After all, with the exception of island countries, the economic levels of other Asian countries and regions are indeed not very good. Jiang Xieqiang wanted to come to cooperate, and it was normal to be bullied. The former Sega Harvest was able to cooperate with Warner Pictures thanks to Bruce Lee. Even so, Ghigh¡¯s right to speak is very low and belongs to the party squeezed by Warner Pictures. As for the Shaw Films Company, let alone, the Chinese film boss for decades was still rejected by Hollywood. Later, he invested 150 million Hong Kong dollars, but he lost even his underwear. Enter the mind of Hollywood. At this time, the Galaxy Film Company was just emerging, and the Global Cinemas Company was only well-known in Asia. Although Jiang Zhiqiang¡¯s previous Anle Cinemas screenings of Western films had a certain connection with Hollywood, it was only stronger than Shao Yifu, and it was in harmony with wrinkles. Not much better than that. In the absence of phenomenal movies, the box office of Western films shown in Universal Cinemas is only a few million Hong Kong dollars, and it is only a million dollars when converted into US dollars. For the eight big Hollywood giants, it is just mosquito meat. With such a small cooperation, global cinema companies are not irreplaceable. One can imagine the weight of Jiang Xieqiang in the eyes of the eight Hollywood giants. Of course, Xia Yu doesn''t look down on his company when he thinks this way. However, the current status quo is like this, just blame others for underestimating it! But whether it is for the sake of receiving Jiang Xieqiang''s heart, or for his own business, this matter can''t be left alone! If your own film company wants to break into Hollywood, it must break into the Hollywood Big Eight, and the best way is to win one. And it is not safe to win a movie giant. After all, Hollywood has always been controlled by the Jews, and other giants unite to deal with him. Don¡¯t you see Sony, a wealthy little devil in the past, has also suffered from the acquisition of Columbia Pictures. Relying on the strong strength of the consortium behind it, it has taken years to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Therefore, it is not safe to win one of the eight Hollywood giants! If he wants to gain a foothold in Hollywood and fight arbitrarily, he also needs a theater that covers the entire United States, and this theater must be large enough. Now the theater giants before the integration of the U.S. theater market cannot meet his requirements. ! These two things have to be done, but there is no way in a short time. And in these matters, Jiang Zhiqiang has no effect. Xia Yu retracted his mind, and gently encouraged Jiang Zhi: "The strongest, know your shame and then be courageous. You must keep this in your heart. Xiangjiang movies are not brilliant enough. After you go back, you and Wu Siyuan have a good exchange. Let go and do it. Now both Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas are still young. Although they have achieved certain successes, their leadership status is not stable enough. You will continue to cultivate the Asian market this year." "It''s not a good idea to go out behind closed doors!" "Now most of the good resources of the Xiangjiang film industry are in the hands of you and Wu Siyuan. There is time to study and study the various models of Hollywood, and learn from each other to make the Xiangjiang film industry change." "I will pave the road for you here in the United States. I don''t want my road to be paved. You are not ready yet." "Have you remembered?" While ashamed, Jiang Zhiqiang nodded his head firmly and said: "Chairman, I remember that after we go back, we must work hard to improve our internal skills. First, we will lay down Jiahe and Shao to lay a solid foundation." Xia Yu suddenly became happy. However, he didn''t say much that if the Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinemas wanted to dominate, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers had to be knocked down. Not only that, the Chinese film companies in Taiwan must also be knocked down. Xia Yu thought for a while, and reminded Jiang Zhiqiang: "Don''t go back empty-handed when you come to Hollywood. Hollywood has the latest theoretical knowledge and photographic equipment. Please buy it and take it back. If you can get a high salary, please go to some teachers to go back. Best, you can figure out how to do it yourself." Jiang Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, I will do these things." ... At about three in the afternoon, Yan Wenhan and Jiang Zhiqiang left one after another. Xia Yu made a phone call and ordered people to collect some information about the movies released in the United States in recent years. This was one night. The next day, Xia Yu called at the right time to go to Xiangjiang, and the answer was Wu Siyuan, the general manager of Galaxy Film Company. Xia Yu dictated the outline of an alien who had fallen on the earth and was taken in by a kind little boy to Wu Siyuan and then ordered him to arrange a team of screenwriters to improve the script of the movie, and it must be based on Hollywood science fiction films. Think to construct an outline. After talking to Wu Siyuan, Xia Yu went to Polaris Capital, and ordered Peter Lynch to arrange for someone to investigate the US film industry and the theater market. After returning home again, he called George Berkeley again, and after asking about some of the French layout, he asked him to secretly send someone to communicate with Fran?ois Mitterrand. Three days later, Xia Yu flew back to Xiangjiang brightly. After staying at home for less than a day, he secretly arrived in the island nation of Tokyo by boat. Just two days after Xia Yu arrived in Tokyo, Fran?ois Mitterrand, the first secretary of the French opposition Socialist Party, came to the island nation of Tokyo on business and communicated with the island¡¯s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on some matters between the two countries. During the day to perform official duties, but in the evening, Fran?ois Mitterrand came to a house not far from the mansion alone.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 896: Investment in the French election After Li Wuming verified his identity at the door, Fran?ois Mitterrand led him to the innermost living room under Li Wuming. There was only Xia Yu in the living room. Xia Yu, who had already heard the footsteps, had already got up. After seeing Fran?ois Mitterrand, he had a warm smile on his face and said hello in proficient French: "Mitterrand Sir, I¡¯m really sorry to invite you over at so late." Rao had read Xia Yu''s information before and knew that Xia Yu was very young, but when he saw the real person, Fran?ois Mitterrand was still shocked. And he did not expect that Xia Yu could speak such fluent French. If he listened with his eyes closed, he would definitely think that he was a native Frenchman. It''s incredible! Fortunately, he is a veteran of the political arena. Although he is shocked in his heart, he does not show it. He shook hands with Xia Yu with a kind smile and said, "Mr. Xia, good evening, it is my honor to meet you." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "It should be my honor!" Fran?ois Mitterrand exclaimed: "Mr. Xia, I didn''t expect your French to speak so well. It shocked me too much. You have an enviable talent for language." Xia Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, I do have a certain talent for language. This should be the only thing that stands out for me." Fran?ois Mitterrand laughed and said, "Mr. Xia, you are so humble." "Haha, let''s sit down and say!" Xia Yu smiled and replied, and then led Fran?ois Mitterrand to sit on the sofa. "Tea or coffee?" "Tea bar, I heard that drinking tea after a meal can help freshen my breath. I just finished my dinner an hour ago." Fran?ois Mitterrand said with a smile, quite a familiar feeling, Xia Yu couldn''t help but his eyes light up. "Mr. Mitterrand, tea has many functions, such as health maintenance, clearing oil and relieving greasiness, and digestion. It is best to drink tea an hour after a meal." "My tea is a new premium green tea this year. It''s not available on the market. Do you like it or not." After brewing, Xia Yu poured amber tea on the cup, held the cup with wooden tweezers and placed it in front of Fran?ois Mitterrand, and said with a please gesture. "Well, there is a charming fragrance..." The two of them communicated in a friendly manner, and this cup of tea was an introduction, opening up the topic of their small talk. "Mr. Xia, I heard that you have more investments in France. Are you very optimistic about the economic development of France now?" Fran?ois Mitterrand asked casually. Xia Yu glanced at him, nodded and shook his head, and when Fran?ois Mitterrand frowned, he slowly said: "I am optimistic about France and neither." "France, as a major European economy, cannot be avoided unless I don''t want to develop my career, so large-scale investment in France is inevitable." "But I am not optimistic about the current France. Gidekar Destin has his own unique view on the economy and a broad perspective on the overall international situation. He even went to Germany last year to jointly initiate the establishment of the European Monetary Union. , He is a very capable person." "But in the global economic downturn, especially when Europe is deeply mired in the economic quagmire, his tendency towards liberalism is not suitable for France. He has tried different methods, but the French economy has not improved." "So I have invested in many companies in France, but when there are no major changes in France, the investment is basically that much." Giscar Destin is Fran?ois Mitterrand''s opponent, and Xia Yu''s evaluation of Giscar Destin makes him happy. George Berkeley had communicated with him several times before, so he also knew some of Xia Yu''s attitude. The reason why he saw Xia Yu under the guise of coming to the island country this time was because he wanted to know Xia Yu''s true attitude, which was extremely important to him. At this time, Xia Yu picked up the topic to this level. He did not hide it and asked: "Mr. Xia, you are the world''s top economic powerhouse. In your opinion, what should France do if you want to get out of the quagmire? ?" Xia Yu smiled and said: "Although the UK has already begun the process of privatizing state-owned enterprises, it is because the state-owned enterprises in the UK are already quite bloated, but France is different from the UK." "For now, the production efficiency of French state-owned enterprises is still higher than that of the United Kingdom, and they are not yet privatized. State-owned enterprises have the advantages of the state-owned enterprise system. The efficiency of French state-owned enterprises actually needs to be improved." "In this economic downturn, in addition to non-livelihood industries, industries related to people''s livelihood should obey the unified guidance of the government and integrate resources with all their strength to burst out more powerful energy." Hearing Xia Yu said this, Fran?ois Mitterrand smiled even more, because this is his usual economic concept. He has always advocated progressive structural reform of the French economy through a certain degree of nationalization, planning and autonomous management on the basis of not eliminating private ownership, so as to establish a "democratic" and "free" "French style". socialism". This concept of his has a certain market, but it is at a lower level and it is more difficult to get the support of upper-level French capital. He also knows the drawbacks, so he has left room for ideas, and these room is left for negotiation and interest exchange with capitalists. Just a word... So when George Berkeley, an Englishman, approached him, he was dumbfounded at first, but after careful investigation, he was overjoyed. To him, it doesn''t matter whether the capital comes from France or Britain, as long as it is capital. What''s more, this capital does not look weak! The French Socialist Party under his leadership is quite lacking in funding. Not to mention that the capital that threw the olive branch to him has extremely high achievements in the media field. There is also a certain media foundation in France. As long as the other party is willing to invest, it is not difficult to expand the media power in France. Capitalists who have funding and media support are excellent partners. Xia Yu¡¯s attitude has been preliminarily clarified, and the foundation for cooperation has been laid, so it is time to take the topic further. Francois Mitterrand said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of me, and thank you for your investment in France." "But I am sixty-four years old. The two defeats in the presidential elections have dealt a serious blow to my reputation, and the cooperation between the left-wing FG and our Socialist Party has also broken down. We do not have the advantage in front of the Republican Democratic League. No matter how many ideas I have, I may not have the opportunity to practice them." After speaking, Fran?ois Mitterrand touched himself, recalling the past of his struggle, his face a little sad. At the age of 28, he entered the special agency of Charles de Gaulle''s provisional government and became one of the fifteen secretary-generals. At that time, he was a rising political star. However, after the establishment of the official government, he did not get the corresponding ministerial position. He joined the left-wing Democratic Social Resistance League in angrily. At the age of 30, he became a veteran appointed by the first Prime Minister of the Fourth Republic, Paul Ramadier. Minister, has become the youngest minister in France in the past 100 years, and the scenery is boundless. He thought he could reach the top in his forties, but his fate was always unpredictable. Because of political accidents, he failed both elections. But he did not admit defeat. In the 1976 provincial assembly and municipal elections, he led the left-wing coalition to great victories, and he was accumulating the foundation for the 1981 general election. But who knows that Fa G, one of the two major forces in the left-wing alliance, also thought about it and competed with him, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, for leadership, and had more and more contradictions on some issues of principle. Eventually, the left-wing alliance broke down, leading to The Socialist Party lost again in the 1978 parliamentary elections, and part of the gains it achieved in 1976 was lost. This was a big blow to him. Because he is more than six [ÊéȤ¸óquge.xyz] years old. In the history of French politics, there has never been a successful campaign in their sixties. The general election will restart next year, and this year he is 64 years old, and the Socialist Party has not re-formed an alliance with France-G, one of the two major left-wing parties, let alone a dozen other large and small parties on the left. . With one of his socialist parties alone, he has no confidence in breaking out of the siege. His thoughts are also related to France¡¯s unique system, because France is very liberal in the establishment of political parties and elections. Now, there are more than 30 large and small political parties in France and no less than 100 political clubs. Everyone is eligible to run for election. Therefore, the general election in France is extremely uncertain. No one can say which parties will suddenly unite and which parties will suddenly betray the alliance. Generally, the French government is formed by a multi-party coalition. So in fact, before George Berkeley approached him, he had been hesitant to participate in the general election again. The two failures have made him face a loss. If he fails again in the election, he will face the vast majority of voters of the Socialist Party that he has formed, and will only be very embarrassed to withdraw from politics. But not participating in the elections may be able to maintain their dignity, while at the same time paving the way for the Socialist Party, and maybe the Socialist Party will succeed in reaching the top in the future. He still hasn''t made up his mind until now, but this doesn''t prevent him from making preliminary preparations. Even if he does not run for the election and establishes a good relationship with Xia Yu, he can still accumulate the foundation for the Socialist Party. Politics is inseparable from capital. Meeting Xia Yu is profitable and harmless. The only reluctance to say the harm is that he needs to give some benefits to Xia Yu after success. However, in a capitalist society, the exchange of political and capital interests is normal, and the exchange object is not Xia Yu but also other people. For him, there is no difference. Closer to home. Although Fran?ois Mitterrand''s tone was sad, Xia Yu knew that he didn''t really give up, otherwise he wouldn''t come to see him secretly from all over the world. He did not expose this layer of veil, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Mitterrand, I have always believed in one sentence. This sentence will also carry out my life and will be the purpose of my future." Fran?ois Mitterrand frowned, he asked, "What is it?" "Everything is possible!" Xia Yu said solemnly. Fran?ois Mitterrand frowned and looked at Xia Yu deeply. He saw the firmness in Xia Yu''s eyes. He seemed to be shocked, and nodded with emotion, "You are right, everything is possible." "Mr. Xia, thank you for your teaching. I have always thought so when I was young, but I don''t know when I started, this sentence gradually faded in my mind." Xia Yu couldn''t take it down. After all, Fran?ois Mitterrand was an old man in his sixties. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Mr. Mitterrand, I wonder if you have followed the US election?" The United States is not only one of the two giants in the world, but also the leader of NATO. Every move of the United States will have a huge impact on the world. The president of the United States represents the will of the United States. The presidential election of the United States is naturally seen by the world. As a qualified politician, Fran?ois Mitterrand must pay attention to this matter. The situation of the US election emerged in his mind. Fran?ois Mitterrand''s expression moved, as if he had guessed what Xia Yu wanted to say, he nodded and said, "Of course there is concern." Xia Yu smiled and continued: "Then you should know that Ronald Reagan has the upper hand, and he is now sixty-nine years old!" "Once he was hesitant to run for election because of his age." "And his background is not as good as yours." "But in an accident, I had a good chat with him for a week, and after that I gave him strong support." Francois Mitterrand knew the age of Ronald Reagan, but what Xia Yu talked about later was an unknown secret. Suddenly hearing this, Fran?ois Mitterrand was shocked again, his eyes widened to Xia Yu, blurted out and asked: "Mr. Xia, have you supported Reagan?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, his political views touched me, so he gave him the support of resources worth tens of millions of dollars." "And his political views were also accepted by David Rockefeller, so he has come to this point." "I think your political views are no worse for France than his." The last words of Xia Yu were quite explicit. Tens of millions of dollars in resources! David Rockefeller! The amount of information revealed by Xia Yu in a few short sentences was so great that Fran?ois Mitterrand''s thinking was down. His mouth squirmed, and finally he restrained his curiosity and didn''t ask questions. Some things he really didn''t need to know, it was troublesome to know. Xia Yu can say, but he can''t ask! All he needs to know is that Xia Yu is indeed a golden thigh! France is much smaller than the United States Not to mention tens of millions of dollars in resources. If Xia Yu gave him 20 million dollars in resources, it would be enough to make a huge change in his Socialist Party. Apart from other things, at least it is more than enough for the Socialist Party to flourish in the early stage! As long as the Socialist Party breaks through the siege, he will have the confidence to gain the support of other French consortia and large families, and there is a high probability that a virtuous circle will be formed. At this moment, he felt that the throne of the president was not out of reach, and the dream he had struggled for decades could be realized! Seeing the smile in Xia Yu''s eyes, Fran?ois Mitterrand was cruel, and decisively chose to seize the opportunity to fight again. If he doesn''t blog once, he will not be reconciled after all! PS: A four-thousand-word chapter, the political content is too difficult to write. You can guess how many purposes there are for the layout of France. By the way, ask for a vote.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 897: To achieve the goal without compromise "Mr. Xia, I think we will become very good friends!" Fran?ois Mitterrand said with a smile, his firm tone and sincere eyes, showing his true attitude at this time. "It''s done!" Xia Yu secretly said in his heart, with a bright smile on his face, nodding and saying, "I always think so." After the statement, the atmosphere in the room became more harmonious. Now that he has become an ally, Fran?ois Mitterrand is frank and does not hide it. Both of them are smart people. Too much circumnavigation makes them seem like a little bit of a genius. When he agreed to come to the secret meeting, he actually revealed his true thoughts. Besides, Europeans and Americans are no better than Chinese, and they don''t know what implicitness is. Therefore, Fran?ois Mitterrand is going to talk to Xia Yu about the election and wants to know how Xia Yu is going to help him. He narrowed his smile, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and asked solemnly: "Mr. Xia, although I am not lacking in fighting spirit, I will not be blindly arrogant. I am very clear about my current strength in France. With the current influence of the Socialist Party to participate in next year¡¯s general election, it is really difficult for me to break out of the siege." "I don''t know you don''t know the political situation in France." "At present, the French National Assembly is dominated by the French Democratic Alliance. This alliance is composed of the right-wing Republican Party, the Social Democrat Center, the Radical Social Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Prospect and Reality Club, and the direct party members. The Republican Party is the leader." "The Republican Party is a party created by Giskar Destin, transformed from the Federation of Independent Republicans. After Giskar Destin became president in 1974, the Republican Party became the main ruling party, and after his re-election, the Republican Party Further expanded its influence." "The other five forces in the Democratic Alliance of the Irregular Nations, even the Republican Party alone, are stronger and more influential than the Socialist Party, not to mention that Giskar Destin still has an advantage in office." "In fact, among the left-wing parties, the relationship between the Socialist Party and France-Germany cannot be eased in a short period of time. France-Germany is already linking up with other parties and preparing to participate in the general election next year." "For now, most people think that the new president will be born in the left-wing coalition headed by Giscar Destin and FG. My sense of existence is very low." At the end, Fran?ois Mitterrand shrugged, looking helpless. He completely stated his true situation, and even said that he was even more pessimistic, just to make Xia Yu pay more attention to him and increase his support for him, so that he would be more secure. He stared at Xia Yu, trying to see what Xia Yu really thought. To his surprise, Xia Yu just smiled faintly and said nonchalantly: ¡°It¡¯s only early October 1980, and there are still more than three months before the actual start, and there are still six months before the end of the first round of voting. This is enough." "It''s just right for others to focus on Giskar Destin and Fa-G. After all, you have not done enough preparations. No one pays attention to your best. During these three months, we have gathered strength secretly. Whenever it breaks out, it can hit everyone by surprise." "When they react, you have already gained a certain advantage." Fran?ois Mitterrand nodded slightly, agreeing with Xia Yu''s statement. He pondered for a moment and asked: "Then Mr. Xia, what are you going to do?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "Although France-G will be highly anticipated in the next general election, your opponent will only be Giskar Destin. France-G does not need to care too much. The left wing has definitely had enough of seven years of suppression. No matter how the law G is connected, as long as your performance surpasses the law G and poses a threat to Giskar Destin, even other left-wing parties that fall to the law G will fall back to you. Of course, you still want to Accept them!" "Then we will analyze for Giskar Destin." "There is no doubt that Giskar Destin has been in office for seven years. He will definitely publicize his achievements over the past seven years in the next general election, in order to awaken people''s recognition and support for him." "He wants to increase his prestige, so if you want to win, you must severely hit his prestige and make voters lose confidence in him." "In this way, you need to make a comparison with him, so that when voters think of him, they will think of you." "And the best way is undoubtedly to attack the shortcomings, catch his taint to attack, and then put forward your ideas and show your talents." Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s eyes lit up. Xia Yu¡¯s idea was indeed very operative. He couldn¡¯t help feeling a little excited, and quickly asked: ¡°Then what should I do? Use the media to attack him? Are you planning Buying newspapers on a large scale?" "The newspaper must be acquired!" Xia Yu said slowly, and his unhurried tone made Fran?ois Mitterrand a little rushed, and his heart became more and more expectant. In Xia Yu''s mind, he recalled the show operation that Fran?ois Mitterrand''s campaign team had come up with. He raised his mouth slightly and said slowly: "My way is to make a documentary film, and the name is "The Lonely Destin" ", the content of this movie is very simple, it is to start to comment on Giskar Destin¡¯s political taint and failure with extremely pungent sarcasm. This movie will be free for the public to watch. If the theater is not willing, then Give them money to show it." "As long as the public opinion is raised, I think voters will have the idea of ??watching free movies. As long as the voters enter, then you will succeed." "Even the die-hard voters of Giskar Destin will definitely be curious. When they enter the theater, some die-hard voters will definitely shake their attitude." "Not only that, before each campaign rally, you will show this movie first, and then you will give a targeted speech, which can produce a strong contrast and make your speech have an excellent effect." "As for how to make a movie, I think you know more about Giskar Destin''s failures and taints. You can also find a film company to shoot with your contacts. I will provide you with the funds needed for the filming in a legal way." "Of course, to be on the safe side, if you have some connections, you might as well connect me. I will let someone buy some theaters. Then, even if Giskar Destin puts pressure on, the normal screening of the movie can be guaranteed." Speaking of this, Xia Yu felt a little thirsty, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and looked at Fran?ois Mitterrand, who was smiling and obviously excited. Seeing that Fran?ois Mitterrand seemed to want to speak, Xia Yu waved his hand and said in front of him: "In addition, I also hope that you will form a campaign team as soon as possible. In terms of finance, I will screen for you who have sufficient ability. My partner, all your needs can be conveyed through him at that time. You don¡¯t need to save money even if you go to a large gathering. I can afford it!" "One more thing. I hope you provide a list of French media, including local radio stations and newspapers and impurities. You need to mark the political positions of these media on it. I will try my best to give the right-wing media that support Giscar Destin to Of course the left-wing and neutral media will not let go of the acquisition." "Is this enough?" Fran?ois Mitterrand nodded immediately and said: "Enough, Mr. Xia, your support for me is super strong, I think I am not dissatisfied." Although Xia Yu put in his team, Fran?ois Mitterrand didn''t have any comments, nor did he dare to have any comments! After all, taking Xia Yu''s money, we must let Xia Yu know his situation well, so that he can be supported more thoroughly. He is over sixty years old and has been immersed in the political field for nearly forty years. He should have understood that capitalists'' money is not so easy to get. But isn''t this the essence of capitalism? He has long been used and adapted. "Mr. Mitterrand, in order to avoid the sight of some people, I will not go to France. I will arrange for someone to meet you for everything when the time comes. If you have anything to communicate with me, then please use the satellite phone to dial here. Number, there is always one who can reach me." With that, Xia Yu took out a card full of phone numbers and handed it to Fran?ois Mitterrand. The latter immediately took it with both hands and looked at it and put it solemnly into the inner pocket of his clothes. "Okay, I know what to do." ... After talking for ten minutes, Fran?ois Mitterrand checked the time and said goodbye. That night Xia Yu boarded a cruise ship back to Xiangjiang by night. He will not underestimate the intelligence systems of the major forces. The longer he stays in the island country, the more likely he will be exposed. If the Rohill family knows his whereabouts, it is not impossible to contact him and Fran?ois Mitterrand. together. Before Fran?ois Mitterrand succeeded in coming to power and accomplishing his purpose, Xia Yu did not want to be discovered by the Rohill family, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether the Rohill family could be hit hard. The clay figurines all have three points, let alone Xia Yu, a big man? Whether it is to retaliate against the Roshir family for pitting him several times, or to expand the growth space for the Jiuding Consortium, the Roshir family must be bled!

In fact, Fran?ois Mitterrand stayed in the island country for a day before returning, but in order to minimize the risk of exposure, Xia Yu stayed at home for five consecutive days. Of course, he didn''t waste time, and asked Huo Jianning to send him the development reports of various companies to his home. In the early morning five days later, after Xia Yu finished Tai Chi in the backyard, he had breakfast with Li Qian and his younger siblings. Because today is Saturday, considering that it is rare for children to relax, breakfast is relatively late. When Huo Jianning arrived on time, Xia Yu had not finished eating. "Good morning uncle!" Seeing Huo Jianning coming with his bag, Xia Mingsan asked him politely. "Jianning, did you have breakfast? Would you like to eat more?" Xia Yu didn''t get up, smiled and said to him early on the table. Huo Jianning smiled at Xia Ming and other three children and Xia''s father and Xia mother, then shook his head and said: "Chairman, no, I''m full at home." Xia Yu didn''t force it, and said to him: "Then you sit for a while, and I will finish eating first." "Okay, I''m not in a hurry, you use it slowly." Huo Jianning finished speaking and sat down on the sofa and waited. Three minutes later, Xia Yu drank the milk, dipped his mouth with a tissue, and sat down on the sofa. Huo Jianning immediately handed over the document and said: "Chairman, this is the development report of seven companies including Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. and Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company, and this is the report given to you by President Wang Gengwu." Xia Yu took it, flipped through it a few times at random, and then put down the company development report. He looked at these documents slowly later, not in a hurry. Instead, he opened Wang Gengwu''s report and read it. The content of the report is neither long nor short. It mainly introduces the situation of Jiuding University in various aspects. Xia Yu read it after a few minutes. After the land was determined and taken at the end of November last year, under the full construction of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., Jiuding University was erected in Qingshui Bay, Kowloon, and all the buildings were completed after ten months. Wang Gengwu didn''t know that Xia Yu had returned to Xiangjiang, but the report had stated that he hoped that Xia Yu would make a trip to Jiuding University as soon as possible to decide when to hold the foundation laying ceremony for Jiuding University. Xia Yu''s interest immediately rose. The importance of Jiuding University to his Jiuding Consortium and the importance of Xiangjiang is undoubted. Now it happens to be finished when he returns. It is indeed time to go and see it on the spot. He also wanted to see what Jiuding University on the drawing looked like after it was turned into a real thing. Closing the report, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning: "Jianning, please inform President Wang, I will be there later." Huo Jianning looked down and nodded and said, "Principal Wang will arrive at the school on time at 8 o''clock every day, and he is there now. I will check it again. Chairman, I will use the phone." "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded. Then Huo Jianning made a call to the office of the president of Jiuding University, and after notifying Wang Gengwu, Xia Yu immediately returned to the room and changed his clothes and got down with Li Qian. "Parents, I''m going out first." After talking to his parents, just as Xia Yu was about to leave, her younger sister Xia Xiaomei suddenly asked, "Big Brother, are you going to college?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Well, the Jiuding University I invested in is completed, let''s take a look." "Brother, will you take me?" Xia Xiaomei''s eyes lit up and she looked at Xia Yu imploringly. "Big brother, I also want to go to see what the university I am going to look like in the future." Xia Ming was also ready to move, and said quickly. Xia Yu couldn''t help but laughed and said, "Aming, are you sure you will study Jiuding University in a few years?" Xia Ming naturally nodded and said, "Of course, the university you built, big brother, must be the best in the whole Xiangjiang. Of course I will go there to study." "Second brother is right, we went to see the university in the future." Xia Xiaomei said immediately. As for Yan Hong, although he hasn''t said a word, his blinking eyes also showed his thoughts. Of course Xia Yu would not refuse this kind of request from his younger brothers and sisters. Anyway, going to Jiuding University this morning is also a tour, so I should take them to have fun. It would be great if I could be touched. So he smiled and nodded and said, "No problem, go and change clothes quickly. I''ll wait for the three of you outside." "Yay!" "I''m going now, and I''ll get down soon." The three children immediately cheered and ran upstairs. Xia''s father and Xia''s mother couldn''t help but smiled, and then they cleaned the table together. Twenty minutes later, a convoy composed of five black Rolls Leicester Phantoms arrived at the gate of Jiuding University in Qingshuiwan, Kowloon. Wang Gengwu was already waiting at the gate with the school''s senior officials. Xia Yu got out of the car immediately, smiled and shook hands with Wang Gengwu and others to say hello: "President Wang, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw you, thank you very much." Peerless Tang Men fo "Haha, it''s not hard, I enjoy it." Wang Gengwu said with a smile, looking at Xia Ming''s Third Primary School who was looking east and west behind Xia Yu. Xia Yu introduced at the right time: "Principal Wang, this is my younger siblings, by the way, bring them over to see their future alma mater." "Amin, Xiaomei, say hello to uncles and grandpas." "Good grandpa Wang, good uncles!" "Hello, welcome to you!" ... After the greeting, Xia Yu finally had time to visit the school. Wang Gengwu said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, let me show you around. Although the university was built according to the drawings, certain changes were made during the construction." "Well, I will trouble you." Afterwards, a group of people wandered around the empty school. Jiuding University does not have an exact main gate. There are nine small gates in total. Each gate goes about 20 meters inward, and there is a two-meter-high bronze tripod. Each tripod has one inscription An old saying article. The school motto of Jiuding University is "Responsible for self-responsibility, and assume responsibility for the future". Responsibility for self, start from yourself, from every little thing around you, "responsibility for self" is a process of growth and continuous learning. Only by doing a good job of "responsibility and self-reliance" can we serve the school, the society, and the country when we assume responsibility for the future. Jiuding University occupies an area of ??60 hectares, which is 10 hectares larger than Xiangjiang University. The land is fully utilized. According to the plan, it can accommodate 20,000 teachers and students, which is definitely sufficient in the early stage. As for the later period, it will definitely be expanded. As for how to operate, I will talk about it later. Xia Yu is not worried about not getting the land. Although Xiangjiang is indeed scarce of land, it will not worry when the influence of the Jiuding Consortium becomes stronger and stronger. Can''t handle the Hong Kong government. Unknowingly, after visiting the library, the group sat down and rested in the library''s scientific newspaper hall. "Principal Wang, the school has been established and will start next fall. There are still eight months before summer enrollment. I don''t know how well you prepare for the teachers?" Xia Yu asked with concern. Wang Gengwu sorted out his thoughts and said to Xia Yu with a worried face: "Xia Sheng, I''m already recruiting professors, mainly from various universities in Hong Kong. Of course, well-known scholars from Taiwan and Southeast Asia have also invited a lot. Only enough to teach more than two thousand students, and most of these professors are biased towards liberal arts, and there is a big gap in science." "Our school can accommodate more than 20,000 teachers and students, but because it is a new university, only freshmen are enrolled, so the initial enrollment number is 4,000. Originally, only freshman courses were needed." "But our school is based on the credit system. As long as the credits are completed, students are allowed to graduate early. Therefore, the construction of later grades should also be constructed at the same time. Considering this, there is a greater gap for high-level professors." "It is very difficult to have teachers in eight months, unless the number of enrollment is reduced or the recruitment standards are lowered..." When Wang Gengwu just said this, Xia Yu immediately shook his head and said: ¡°The requirements cannot be lowered. The ultimate goal of Jiuding University is to become a world-class university. Therefore, it must not be bad in terms of teachers. Since students come to our school, we must do our best to They cultivate talents." Wang Gengwu nodded deeply in agreement: "My original intention is not to lower the recruitment standards, so I can only reduce the number of students." Wang Gengwu''s expression was a little sad, and he could hear the unwillingness in his tone. As the head of a school, he certainly hopes that the world will be full of talents and cultivate as many talents as possible, but the reality is too restrictive, and he has done his best. Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia¡¯s teachers in science are indeed worse. Xia Yu thought about it for a long time, and thought of a possible way, but he wouldn''t say anything without a certain word. He said to Wang Gengwu: "President Wang, you still need to do your best in this regard. The standard must not be lowered. I will also find a way. I will give you a quasi-trust at the earliest half a month and one month at the latest." Wang Gengwu breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best!" After speaking, the two of them had nothing to say, and the atmosphere gradually cooled. Wang Gengwu patted his forehead and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, I almost forgot. The school has been built. When do you think there will be a foundation laying ceremony?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "The groundbreaking ceremony is definitely to be held, and the bigger the momentum, the better. At that time, I will arrange TV stations to broadcast the whole process, covering the entire Southeast Asia." "The question now is to choose a good day." "I will let someone choose one after I go back, and it should be held soon." "Principal Wang, you still need to be prepared." Wang Gengwu nodded and replied, "Xia Sheng, don''t worry, I have already started to prepare, and I will be ready in three days at most That''s good, wait for my news!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Later, Xia Yu took the people around in Jiuding University for a long time, and then arranged two cars to take Xia Ming and others home, and he went to Chunqiu Hospital. The Chunqiu Hospital has been built and put into trial operation, and Li Chunqiu is busy as the hospital director. After arriving at Chunqiu Hospital, Xia Yu also visited by the way, and then asked Master Li Chunqiu to choose a good day for him. After some selection, the time is finally determined, and the corresponding Gregorian calendar is 10 am on October 10! After the time was confirmed, Xia Yu immediately informed Wang Gengwu, and immediately arranged for someone to make an invitation. Six days passed in a flash, and it was October 10 in a blink of an eye.

On the 10th of October, the clear sky and the breeze flowing from time to time make it a good day for outdoor activities. Although the groundbreaking ceremony was scheduled to officially start at ten o''clock, some guests arrived before eight o''clock, and they visited the school by themselves before the ceremony began. "President Wang, welcome you!" The Youth Square on campus was used as a temporary parking lot. Xia Yu, Wang Gengwu and others were there to greet the guests. When two more people came out, Xia Yu enthusiastically greeted them and shook hands with them, and then focused on the older person. Body. The visitor was Wang Ping, the first president of the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency. "Mr. Xia, congratulations!" "The completion of Jiuding University will benefit the country and the people, a great deal!" "Haha, it''s not worth mentioning. Take it from the people and use it for the people. As an entrepreneur, you have to take a bit of social responsibility." Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a faint smile. Having said that, he apologized: "President Wang, I am here to apologize to you. I was still in the United States on October 1st. I had something to do. I really couldn¡¯t spare the time. I didn¡¯t come to the National Day banquet held by your agency. ." Wang Ping hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Xia, you are out of sight. Your career is prosperous. How many people depend on you to support you. Of course, career is more important. After the banquet, there will be some things, not to mention that I have received your gift on National Day. The flower baskets are very thoughtful!" Xia Yu smiled and asked after exposing the topic: "President Wang, are you free this morning?" Wang Ping raised his brow slightly and said without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, as long as you say a word, I will be free anytime." The facts are really so. Xia Yu is the No. 1 important person in Xiangjiang who has registered on it. His main responsibility is to do a good job of liaison. He wants to have more intersections with Xia Yu. Although Xia Yu also knows this, Wang Ping''s words still made him feel very comfortable. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Hey, President Wang, what you said made Xia Mou frightened." "Then after the ceremony, I will talk to you in detail, how about?" "no problem!" "President Wang, please go in with them for a short break. I can''t walk away temporarily, so I won''t accompany you." "Understand, you are busy first, I will go around." ... Next, people came from time to time, not only from Hong Kong''s political and business circles, but also from Omen and Southeast Asia. Not to mention the scholars in the education sector. The foundation stone laying of Jiuding University is a major event in the education sector in Hong Kong, and they naturally want to congratulate it. Guests from the education sector were received by Wang Gengwu, while those from the political and business sectors were received by the chairman of the university, Xia Yu, and two university directors, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. As for other honorary directors, such as Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji, who have no rights, Xia Yu did not ask, and let them play freely. By the time it was around 9:30, except for those who had greeted some people in a hurry, they only sent flower baskets. The other guests who received the invitations were all present. At ten o''clock, the groundbreaking ceremony was held on time. As the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose gave the Jiuding University platform and offered his sincere blessings. The completion of Jiuding University is inseparable from his strong support, which can be regarded as his political achievement. The whole process of Jiuding Satellite TV was broadcast live, and the real situation of Jiuding University was watched by thousands of households through satellite signals. As a place of education, Jiuding University, Xia Yu did not arrange any fancy performances at the ceremony, but a well-known person in politics, business and education gave his blessing to Jiuding University enough to shock people. Particularly later, Wang Gengwu announced the use of funds and balances, and announced that Jiuding University has established a special Jiuding University Foundation. The remaining endowment funds and future financial assets will all be placed under the Jiuding University Foundation. The goal is to avoid idle funds. , Make full use of funds to create long-term investment returns to support the education and research of Jiuding University. This model does not exist in the current mainland, but it is very popular in Europe and America. Almost every university has a special education foundation. Just like in later generations, the total assets under the management of the Harvard University Education Foundation amounted to more than 36 billion US dollars. Harvard University can have such a high level because it has never lacked money. All kinds of hardware and software are top-notch. ! All kinds of research are fully funded! Therefore, after Wang Gengwu¡¯s announcement, everyone present applauded and congratulated, and to show support, MacLehose also stood up on the spot and donated half a year¡¯s salary as a support to Jiuding University. MacLehose took the lead, and many guests supported them, especially the big shots of business leaders are more generous than the other. There are not a few three to five million people, and many over 10 million. At the end of the donation, the chairman, Xia Yu, donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and handed the check to Wang Gengwu on the spot. I believe that after today, Xia Yu''s reputation for charity and devotion to education will not escape! According to the statistics on site 1, the donation amount accepted on site was as high as HK$263.2 million. When this number was read from Wang Gengwu''s mouth, there was thunderous applause, and everyone was shocked by this number. Especially the presidents of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University, their eyes are red, and they are envious. Before the establishment of the school, Xia Yu directly donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang each donated 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Together with the donations of other business leaders, Jiuding University had it at the beginning of its establishment. 370 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. Now there is another HK$263.2 million! Compared with Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Chinese University, the annual research and education funds received from the Hong Kong government are only 20 million each, and this figure has been collected in the past two years. Jiuding University has received more than their ten-year donation. The presidents of the two universities were heartbroken and felt a strong sense of crisis. In the absence of money, although Jiuding University has not yet officially enrolled students, it has already shown a huge threat. At the same place, the two focused their gaze on Xia Yu in the middle, and then the two looked at each other and couldn''t help but smile wryly. After the groundbreaking ceremony, Xia Yu also arranged a lunch in the school cafeteria. Except for some people who left in an emergency, many people stayed and cherished this rare opportunity to broaden their contacts. After two o''clock in the afternoon, the guests gradually dispersed. Xia Yu invited Wang Ping to the office of the chairman of the university to drink tea. "Mr. Xia, your groundbreaking ceremony was so successful. After today, the reputation of Jiuding University will resound in Asia! Your reputation for passion for education will spread throughout the world!" Thinking of the heavyweight guests at the groundbreaking ceremony in the morning, as well as the huge donation figures and Xia Yu''s large sums of money, Wang Ping said with emotion. Comparing this groundbreaking ceremony, he remembered the National Day banquet held by Xinhua News Agency ten days ago. The gap between the two was like a chasm. If there were so many people at the National Day banquet, he would be happy to sleep for a few days. But he just thought about it. He also knew that only Xia Yu could have such a big influence. Xia Yu said with a smile: "I don''t dare to think about it resounding in Asia. It''s enough to be able to make a name for Hong Kong Olympics and Southeast Asia. There is no need to worry about enrollment dissatisfaction." Wang Ping laughed and said: "Mr. Xia, you can really joke, but I saw the expressions of the two presidents of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University after they came to President Wang after the celebration. It was a complicated one, both envied and worried. With your strong support, Jiuding University will surpass these two established universities just around the corner." Xia Yu smiled helplessly: "President Wang, you look up to me and Jiuding University. The two presidents of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University are suffering from education funding problems. This is also the only one of Jiuding University. Advantages, but education requires a combination of software and hardware. I can spend money on hard power, but in terms of soft power, Jiuding University is far behind." "Now Jiuding University has a huge shortage of teachers. I am having a headache now, and President Wang is also very worried about this." Wang Ping frowned slightly, his smile narrowed, and he muttered for a moment to comfort him: "Mr. Xia, what you said is reasonable, but there is no way to do it. I can''t be in a hurry for a while." Xia Yu smiled slightly and took the conversation and said: "So no, I will find you." Wang Ping looked at Xia Yu with a little astonishment, frowned, and asked inexplicably: "Mr. Xia, please tell me directly, if I can help, I will definitely go all out." Xia Yu said with a smile: "You don''t need to be too troublesome. I just hope you can help me pass a message. I hope Jiuding University can cooperate with famous universities in mainland China such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, and ask the mainland to help support some high-level professors." "There are not many talents in the land of Xiangjiang, but the mainland is full of talents." After hearing Xia Yu''s meaning, Wang Ping''s brows stretched immediately, and he nodded without hesitation, and said, "It''s okay. I will report to it immediately after I return. I will tell you as soon as I have news." That''s what I said, but Wang Ping was sure in his heart that the above would definitely agree. The above was anxious for Xia Yu''s request, but Xia Yu hardly spoke. Even if he speaks, it is beneficial to the cooperation between the two parties and does not owe favor to the mainland, which makes people a little worried. Now it is rare for Xia Yu to ask for help. It is cooperation in the field of education. It is not difficult for the mainland. It can also effectively expand the mainland¡¯s influence among the elite intellectuals in Hong Kong. It is difficult for the mainland to find such an opportunity. Opportunity shut out? Xia Yu also considered the probability of the mainland agreeing, so he smiled and said, "Then I will trouble Mr. Wang, please take care of it!" "Should!" Wang Ping said with a smile. After a few brief conversations, Wang Ping suddenly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, there is one thing I want to inform you in advance of UU reading ." Seeing Wang Ping¡¯s solemn expression, Xia Yu raised his brows slightly and said in a listening form: "Please speak!" Wang Ping pondered for a moment, as if he was drawing up the draft, and then solemnly said: "On October 8th, a decision was passed at the meeting above, and it has been formally written down, but the document has not been released yet." Xia Yu''s pupils shrank, and he paid attention to it for twelve points, quietly waiting for the following. Wang Ping went on to say: "The above decided that the financial industry would be limited to the outside world, allowing foreign banks to set up business institutions in the four special zones of Pengcheng, Xiamen, Zhuhai, and Shanto to engage in foreign exchange financial services." "And the first batch of places has been confirmed, there are only three!" Xia Yu was surprised that the mainland moved so fast! Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 900: 2 banks approved The mainland only established four special economic zones in mid-to-late August, and it is only about 50 days after it is fully paid. It has passed the decision to open up the financial industry? Although Wang Ping said that foreign banks can only conduct business in the four special zones, and the scope of their business is only related to foreign exchange financial services, but that is no small matter! Just before Xia Yu''s rebirth, it had been almost 40 years since the opening, and the mainland did not see the opening up of the financial industry''s entry barrier! And according to the original history of the previous life, the mainland had to wait until 1981 to make this decision, and only one foreign bank was allowed to enter, that is, Nanyang Commercial Bank. The second batch will have to wait until 1985! What ordinary people don''t know is that Nanyang Commercial Bank is actually controlled by the mainland! Nanyang Commercial Bank belongs to the second largest bank in the HeungKong Bank of China system after HeungKong Bank of China. The founder Mr. Zhuang has been dedicated to the country after graduating from Peking University in 1934. In 1949, he came to Xiangjiang to establish Nanyang Commercial Bank with orders. Donated all his wealth to the country. So Xia Yu never thought that the mainland would actually agree to open up! And also seven or eight months in advance! If three places are given to a Nanyang Commercial Bank, there will be two more. Now Wang Ping is still actively telling him about this. He must have been instructed. He, a pure foreign businessman, can occupy at least one place! For the current mainland, the steps are not average, and only one person can make a decision! "It seems that what I said in the last private chat worked!" A thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind. He remembered the conversation for a few hours at night, and his mood instantly improved. He is not only happy that his bank can enter the mainland ahead of time, but also that the wind fanned by his butterfly wings has affected the general trend of the country! This is a huge encouragement to his goal of accelerating the rise of the motherland and preventing the motherland from detours! Since he can influence the opening of the mainland banking industry, he can naturally also influence other fields. The Huamei honeymoon period has only just started for one year, and there are still nine years to go. There are so many places he can operate! "When Jiuding Bank enters, the mainland definitely hopes that Jiuding Bank will assume the responsibility of foreign exchange acceptance. The more foreign exchange it exchanges, the greater the favor the mainland owes. With a large amount of soft sister paper in hand, it is just right to start China''s rise plan!" A thought flashed through Xia Yu''s mind. Shaking his head slightly to look back, Xia Yu asked Wang Ping: "President Wang, when will the application be allowed and what is the specific process?" Wang Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, you look very high on me. I don¡¯t know the specific review standards, but the news I have received will be announced soon. I will notify you as soon as possible. !" Xia Yu nodded in understanding, and thanked: "Then I will trouble you!" "Should..." ... After talking with Wang Ping, Xia Yu found Wang Gengwu again, talked about the Jiuding University Foundation in detail, and made a phone call to Wang Qi on the spot, and asked Wang Qi to connect with Wang Gengwu, and sent someone to take charge of the investment of the special funds. . After dealing with the college affairs, Xia Yu sent his younger siblings home, and then went to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank on Hong Kong Island to find Liu Tianci, who was busy. After briefly inquiring about the operation of Jiuding Bank and other subordinate banks, Xia Yu told him the news he had just received from Wang Ping in the afternoon. Liu Tianci''s expression instantly became solemn, and he said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, I understand what you mean. Since President Wang told you about this, then there must be a place for us, and I will think about candidates from now on. " "As for the review process, it shouldn''t be a big problem." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, this is what I wanted to tell you when I came here. You must choose the personnel well. First, you must have high EQ and proficiency in Mandarin. This time, four special zones are allowed to enter at the same time. Four sub-branches must be established at once, and at least fifty people must be added together." Liu Tianci also considered this, so there was a certain amount of pressure in his heart. Jiuding Bank¡¯s personnel training system has been established, so the personnel allocation has been able to keep up with the expansion, but it is too early to say that there is a surplus of talents. Moreover, in Xiangjiang, most people speak vernacular and English, not everyone can speak Mandarin. With this requirement, the screening will be more difficult! But the opportunity is rare, no matter how difficult it is, he has to work hard to manage it, and in the big deal, he will dig people from other banks! After flashing several methods in his mind, Liu Tianci did not say to Xia Yu. He was silent for a moment and asked Xia Yu curiously: "Chairman, this time the mainland will release three places in the first batch and one place for us. So who might the remaining two be given to?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "According to my guess, Nanyang Commercial Bank will get a quota if it is not surprising, as for the last remaining quota." Hearing this, Liu Tianci became more active. He said to Xia Yu: "The chairman, do you think it is possible for us to get two places? Standard Chartered Bank is also yours, and Standard Chartered Bank and our Jiuding Bank are under two departments. There are also many banks. These banks have come forward to compete for the last place, do you think it will work?" "If HSBC can, then Standard Chartered is not bad." "As for the Bank of East Asia, with the political stance of the Li family, it should not get this quota." After thinking about it for a moment, Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Your analysis is reasonable. When the time comes, all of the banks under it will apply. You are ready, and I will notify you separately from Standard Chartered." "Ok." ... In the following days, the public opinion of Xiangjiang has always focused on Jiuding University. Jiuding Satellite TV and the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company are deeply analyzing the positive impact of the emergence of Jiuding University on Xiangjiang and looking forward to the future of Jiuding University. At this time, Xiangjiang¡¯s high-end educational resources are scarce. There are only two undergraduate universities, and there are only two tertiary colleges, Shue Yan College and Hong Kong Baptist College. Therefore, after graduating from junior high school, only 2% of students in Hong Kong graduate Being able to receive higher education locally, for students who have no money to study abroad, they can only get out of society early to make money to support their families. Now there is one more comprehensive university, and the number of enrollment in one year is almost comparable to that of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University combined. This is definitely great news for the students of Xiangjiang. For a time, even the elderly and children knew the name of Jiuding University. Many families were excited about it, and the students who graduated next year felt lucky. Not only that, in addition to Jiuding University, a comprehensive university, the Xiangjiang Culture and Media School and Xiangjiang School of Traditional Chinese Medicine that Xia Yu decided to build at the end of last year were completed this fall and officially enrolled in teaching because of their smaller scale. Although these two schools have special thresholds and small enrollment, they also provide many students with a way to study and a way out for the future. With this calculation, in addition to the four colleges and above schools originally owned by Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang has added three more schools, and about 3% of junior high school graduates have the opportunity to enjoy higher education. Because of Xia Yu, 5,000 or 6,000 children from families can enjoy higher education each year, which makes Xia Yu and Jiuding''s enterprises a good reputation among the people. The title of an educational charity tycoon is completely worn on Xia Yu''s head! But in the face of the turbulent public opinion, Xia Yu chose to keep a low profile, and because he was not in Xiangjiang for a long time, he finally came back now. Various invitations floated like snowflakes. For some people, he really couldn''t refuse, so he ran around Xiangjiang. . In the disturbance, time gradually passed. On October 14, news came from Wang Ping that he had agreed to Xia Yu''s request and had arranged for the leaders of the education sector to go south to communicate in person. Xia Yu immediately informed Wang Gengwu to prepare. On October 16, people from mainland China and Wang Gengwu and others started friendly exchanges at Jiuding University. They confirmed the aid plan on the spot, and Wang Gengwu finally stopped worrying about teachers. At the same time, Xia Yu also learned about the situation in his hometown. The Qianzhou University he donated to his hometown of Qianzhou has been completed. Ten top universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University are each responsible for the construction of a major. Enrollment began in the summer of 1981, and classes started in the fall. Hearing such good news, Xia Yuxing did not stingy and donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to Qianzhou University again and entrusted Wang Ping to transfer it on his behalf. At this time, the Hong Kong financial community had been shaken by the documents released by the mainland on October 15, and major banks flocked to the Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch or Xiangjiang Bank of China to inquire about the news. Not only Chinese banks, but British, French, and American banks are unwilling to show weakness and try to enter the mainland. A piece of paper on the mainland completely disturbed the banking industry. And Xia Yu also learned the true intentions of the mainland through side-by-side attacks. Regardless of political stance, the biggest goal is foreign exchange! The mainland urgently needs foreign exchange to support the construction of the four major special zones and the domestic military and industrial fields! This year, the U.S. has classified China as a "P" category (that is, a non-hostile country) in the U.S. trade control classification. Therefore, many restrictions have been lifted. China has a tight eye on some technologies in Europe and the United States, but it is so shy in its pocket. ! After understanding the purpose, Xia Yu immediately started a dialogue with the above through Wang Ping, expressed his attitude and promised to support the mainland in foreign exchange, and took the last quota and handed it to Standard Chartered Bank. However, the mainland did not immediately announce the results. It was delayed until October 25 when the list was finally announced. Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank and Nanyang Commercial Bank became the final winnersMany banks sighed. Shen Bi is even more worried about the future of HSBC. He has never underestimated the financial potential of the mainland. At this time, HSBC is one step behind its two major rivals. This is extremely dangerous for HSBC! But at this point, he has no choice but to find ways to increase his strength from other aspects. Until October 31st, Xia Yu took the movie script of "Alien E¡¤T" that he had reviewed three times and was completed day and night by the screenwriter department, and boarded the plane to San Francisco. Although the layout of Xiangjiang and the mainland needs him to do, but the American election is about to be determined, he has to go there himself. PS: Chapter 900, this chapter is overdone to explain clearly some of the original ones that were not explained.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 901: Its time to divide the cake after victory After returning to San Francisco, Xia Yu first went to Polaris Capital to ask about the progress of the work he had assigned before leaving. With regard to the acquisition of Wells Fargo Bank, Peter Lynch is making all-out efforts. After a month, he has made very good progress. Peter Lynch said he was confident that he would win it a year ago. Instead, the intelligence collection of the American movie and theater market has been completed. The American film and television entertainment center is in Los Angeles, California. Most companies in the entertainment industry chain have their headquarters here. Even if the headquarters is not here, at least one branch will be there. Therefore the work will be completed so quickly. There is simply not too much information for the entire industry, even if it is condensed, it cannot be read in a day or two. While staying at home, Xia Yu was taking jet lag, while reading these materials by the way, let the memories in his mind gradually fit the era through these materials. Just at this critical period, Xia Yu was also a little uneasy. November 4, Presidential Election Day! Each state in the United States and the District of Columbia in Washington state officially start general elections. Voters in each state will vote for the electors of the supported parties at various polling places on this day. Xia Yu stayed at home, sitting on the sofa, watching the news from the anchor of the CNN channel on TV. Believe that people who are not eligible to vote on this day or who have already voted, many people use the news in front of the TV to learn about the voting results of their state and other states. This has to be said about the nature of the US presidential election. The President of the United States is elected indirectly. On election day, voters vote for the president instead of the president, but the presidential electors. In the end, the electors vote for the president on behalf of their will. For example, if a voter wants to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate, he actually casts popular vote for the Democratic elector of his state; if he wants to vote for the Republican presidential candidate, he will vote for the Republican election people. Then, on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, the real presidential elections will be held, and the electors of the states will cast their votes in the capitals of the states. The number of electoral votes in the United States is fixed at 538. These 538 electoral votes are composed of two parts. The first part is a fixed ballot, a total of 103 votes, two in each of the fifty states in the United States, and the District of Columbia where the capital Washington is located has another three. The remaining 435 electoral votes are distributed according to the population of each state. A state with a larger population has more electoral votes. The number of federal parliamentary seats in each state is also distributed according to the population. nature. As for the electors, they are just voting machines. They must vote according to the voting results of voters in the state, so they are just a cutscene. So the key is to look at the results of the popular vote in each state on November 4. Except for the two states of Maine and Nebraska, which distribute the electoral votes in proportion to the popular vote, the remaining 48 states and Washington, D.C. all implement the "winner all" rule, that is, the election of this state or the DC All votes are given to the presidential candidate who has obtained a relatively large majority of voters in the state or special zone. Precisely because of these rules, the key to the general election is to look at the large states with the most electoral votes. For example, California, which has the most votes, has 55 electoral votes in this general election. Alaska has only 3 votes. As long as California wins, even if it is just one more popular vote, Take all 55 electoral votes, change to a state like Alaska, and win 18 states with only 54 votes! Because of this, even if a presidential candidate wins more than 51% of the U.S. popular vote, he may not be able to get 270 electoral votes and become president. This has happened many times in American history. This special rule has left a huge room for capitalists to operate. The ballots are fought fiercely by the major states. For example, federal lawmakers have come forward to open up relations, the amount of media coverage, the amount of advertising, and the major groups. The level of public relations and so on, every place is a battlefield, the money burned is called a quick! But what if the party''s presidential candidate does not get 270 electoral votes after the general election is over? Then, according to Articles 12 and 20 of the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Assembly will then vote to determine the president and vice president. And it is worth noting that the House of Representatives votes to determine the president, and each state can only cast one vote, and candidates with more than 26 votes win. The Senate votes to determine the vice president. Each senator has one vote and a majority vote wins. If it reaches this point, the risk is great. Therefore, both the Democrats and the Republicans will do their best to work before the real voters vote in the general election. The media rushed to report that Ronald Reagan¡¯s situation was very good. It was not that the states had voted, but the major media used questionnaires to speculate on the situation in each state, and then counted the electoral votes of each state to get Ronald Reagan. The advantages are getting bigger and bigger. But there is a saying that not all politicians can take it seriously, even the president. As long as there are enough benefits, you can face yourself at any time. Regardless of whether it is a member of the Democratic Party or a Republican, it is not just to communicate with the people of the same party, the backing forces will change their positions, so everything is difficult to say, even the leaders of the two parties may not be able to make all members have the same views and positions. . There are also many who change parties. Wasn''t Ronald Reagan the Democratic Party before? Therefore, without waiting for voters to cast universal votes into the ballot box, the representatives of the two parties in various influential groups in the various states cannot fully believe what they have promised. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not suddenly turn back and make the affected voters hesitate. Undecided or even replaced the support object. Fortunately, Ronald Reagan''s team has never slackened, and has been burning money even today. "Texas voting results have been announced. Texas has voted for a total of 7,124,058 votes. Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan won 3,647,518 votes, 51.2% of the votes, and Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter 2978856 With 41.8% of the votes, Republican independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson received 498,684 votes, with a 7% vote. Ronald Reagan won another state again! He won 34 electoral votes!" Xia Yu was not surprised by this result. Texas is the traditional ticket warehouse of the Republican Party. What''s more, the Bush family has been operating there for many years, so it is impossible for Texas to be taken away by Jimmy Carter. ... "So far, 48 states and the District of Columbia have announced their voting results. According to the calculation results of 95% of the electoral districts, Ronald Reagan won in 43 states, and Jimmy Carter has only won in five states and the District of Columbia. Won." "According to statistics, Ronald Reagan received 42.39 million popular votes, accounting for 53.2% of voters, and will receive 473 electoral votes. Jimmy Carter received 32.11 million popular votes, accounting for 40.3% of voters, and will receive There were 41 electoral votes. Independent candidate John B. Anderson received 5.19 million popular votes, accounting for 6.5% of voters, and did not receive electoral votes." When this series of data was revealed from the hostess population, Xia Yu smiled, feeling greatly in his heart, even a hint of pride. Because history has changed again! Under his intervention, the U.S. election has changed a lot. Ronald Reagan won only in 42 states in his previous life, but now he has one more state. In addition, Ronald Reagan''s popular vote rate is also a few points higher, which is definitely the effect of money burning. Don¡¯t you see that in the later generations of the black presidential campaign, he put twice as much as his opponent¡¯s slamming ads, and in just one month reversed the situation in a certain state. Ronald Reagan''s election result today was very beautiful, leaving no chance for Jimmy Carter. Even if an error is found in the subsequent recount, it will not be possible to close the gap of nearly 13%, at most a few tenths of a percent. As for the results of the electoral vote next month, don¡¯t worry about it. The gap between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter is eleven times larger. Small moves are completely invalid, and the Democratic Party will definitely not dare to engage in big moves, and it will be impossible. ! "Next month, just walk through the scene and cast a vote. I believe Ronald Reagan is already celebrating now, and the next step is to divide the cake..." Xia Yu chuckled, then got up and turned off the TV, ready to take a rest after washing. As for the congratulations to Ronald Reagan, I will say it until tomorrow. After all, CNN has broadcast it. There are too many people in the United States who know the result. It is completely foreseeable that his phone will be blown. Early the next morning, Xia Yu brought from the mailbox that day¡¯s "USA Today" and other newspapers The cover was Ronald Reagan''s head portrait. Xia Yu quickly browsed the past, only in "Jimmy Carter admitted to running yesterday" I failed, and I congratulate Ronald Reagan on his outstanding victory, and promise to give the fullest support and cooperation in the coming weeks to achieve an orderly transition of the government." After that, Xia Yu called Ronald Reagan to congratulate him, and he hung up after a brief chat for three minutes. After 11 o''clock in the morning, Xia Yu received an unexpected call. The person who called was Rhodes Saxon, who was the financial adviser in Ronald Reagan''s campaign and the person responsible for secretly connecting Xia Yu and Ronald Reagan. Xia Yu knew his purpose, so he didn''t say much on the phone and asked him to come to San Francisco directly. Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Rhodes Saxon came to Xia Yu''s mansion with some gifts. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 902: White House Council of Economic Advisers "Rhodes, long time no see, how have you been?" "Mr. Xia, it''s nice to meet you, I have had a very fulfilling time during this time." ... After a brief greeting, Xia Yu took Rhodes Saxon into the living room and sat down. "The hard days are finally over, and now the harvest season is ushered in. Would you like some champagne to celebrate?" Xia Yu smiled and said to Rhodes Saxon. The latter smiled and said: "If there is, it would be better." "Wait a moment." With that, Xia Yu walked to the closet and took a bottle of champagne from the grid and put it on the coffee table, and then brought two goblets over again. Rhodes Saxon opened the champagne expertly and poured some wine on each of the two goblets that had just been put down. The two picked up the cup and touched it lightly. Xia Yu smiled and blessed: "Rhodes, I wish you a bright political career." "Thank you, this is inseparable from your help! If you hadn''t recommended me, maybe I''m still hanging around on Wall Street." Rhodes Saxon grinned happily, thanking him from the bottom of his heart. He graduated from Stanford University with a major in public policy projects and finance. After graduation, he entered Wall Street, worked in many banks and investment banks, step by step from a junior economist to a senior economist, and in his spare time for the Wall Street Journal. Writing economic articles is definitely an elite talent. But in the United States, the financial sector has the most talents, not to mention Wall Street where the elites gather, and there are even more talented people. Rhodes Saxon believes that his talents are not bad. Although the job he is engaged in is suitable for him, he has not displayed his true talents. After all, he is not a pure financial talent, but a political and economic elite. Until Xia Yu found him, and after a detailed chat with him, he was introduced to Ronald Reagan, and then he became a member of Ronald Reagan''s campaign team. As Ronald Reagan is about to move into the White House, he can also predictably become an official in the White House. He has no experience in politics, but he stepped into the White House in one step. This starting point is not unreasonably high. His starting point is the end point that many people struggle hard to reach. He also knew that all of this was inseparable from Xia Yu, so he was grateful for Xia Yu from the heart. "This is fate, isn''t it?" "And if it weren''t for your real talents, I don''t think you can impress me, nor Ronald Reagan." Xia Yu said with a faint smile, but secretly said in his heart that he did not choose the wrong person. Rhodes Saxon shook his head and said: "There are many talented people on Wall Street, but you have chosen me. In Huaxia''s words, you have an appreciation for me, and you have changed my life." Xia Yu laughed and raised his glass again and said, "I wish you a better and better future!" "I wish you a prosperous career! I also wish us a long friendship!" "Cheers!" "Hey!" After putting down the cup again, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling comfortable, leaning on the back of the soft sofa, and asked: "Rhodes, there are more than two months left, and our Mr. Reagan is about to become president. You You should have thought about your goal, right?" Rhodes Saxon nodded and said: "I have thought about it, but the choice of appointment is in the hands of Mr. Reagan. After the results of the election yesterday, I can feel that the hearts of everyone in the team are floating, so I''m not sure." "Although there are some members who joined later, but have a strong background, these are all uncertain factors." Xia Yu understands Rhodes Saxon''s ideas. He has known Ronald Reagan''s campaign team and it can be said that it has gone through three stages. The first stage is the initial stage. Participating in the Republican presidential candidate campaign, the team is basically recruited by himself using his contacts. Of course, it is also like Xia Yu who invested at the beginning and recommended people to join, of course, only Xia Yu Such a. Because at the beginning, only Xia Yu gave Ronald Reagan high expectations and gave a huge help. The second stage is to defeat George Herbert Walker Bush and become the Republican presidential candidate, the campaign team has undergone tremendous changes. The first was to form a team with George Herbert Walker Bush, and the latter¡¯s campaign manager Jim Baker (James Edison Baker III) gradually replaced Ronald Reagan¡¯s original campaign leader and became The number one steward of the campaign team. Not only that, some elite advisers of George Herbert Walker Bush also joined in. In addition, after representing the will of the Republican Party, several tycoons in the Republican Party also joined in, plus the Rockefeller Foundation and Germany. The representatives of the will sent by the Texas consortium and others, the team can be described as a big change. The last stage is the members who joined in the general election process in order to continuously increase their strength and connections. The changes in this stage are not as great as in the second stage. But no matter when he came in, he worked hard for Ronald Reagan. Some people rely on their ability to come from behind and are gradually entrusted with important tasks, and some veterans are gradually marginalized because of their inability. Ronald Reagan has laid down the country, so he naturally wants to vassalize the ministers, but how to do it, there is a lot of knowledge in it. It involves factors such as personal ability, personal relationship, background, etc., which requires Ronald Reagan to comprehensively consider. And arrange. Of course, there are also some people who are responsible for the special tasks in the campaign team, and they are completely corresponding to the positions of the White House and the Cabinet, and they are not worried about others taking it. For example, James Brady, first served as the director of public affairs and research on the campaign team, and then became the spokesperson of the Presidential Election Office. He did a very good job. He could become the director of the White House Press Office after two months, which means he has super exposure. Gao''s White House spokesperson. Another example is William Joseph Casey, the former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, who served as the head of the initial campaign team and later gave the position to Jim Baker, but he was not marginalized. Instead, he recruited former federal agents as Rhone. De Reagan built a political intelligence network and did a very good job. There is no doubt that the position of the new CIA director will definitely fall to him. But Rhodes Saxon was not so lucky, because he was not the only financial advisor in the campaign team, even if he was the first to join! "Then Rhodes, where do you think you fit in?" Xia Yu asked. Rhodes Saxon expressed his thoughts: "I think I can be qualified for the position of assistant to the president and director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers." After speaking, his eyes fixed on Xia Yu. As Xia Yu frowned, Rhodes Saxon''s heart was slightly raised. "Rhodes, I can definitely get you for the post of assistant to the president, but the influence of the chairman of the White Workers¡¯ Economic Advisory Committee ranks among the top six in the White House. Generally speaking, he is the chief economic adviser and is able to do so in many fields. Ronald Reagan will definitely be very cautious in direct contact with the cabinet." "And as far as I know, Ronald Reagan likes to hear the views of John Rutridge. He should be your biggest competitor?" Although it was a question, Xia Yu''s tone had a trace of determination. This John Rutridge is not only well-known for his later generations. He is not only a doctoral degree, but also the main creator of the American economic framework during the Reagan era. He is also the tax policy adviser of the White House in the Bush era, and he is the senior of the two presidents. Think tank. Sure enough, Rhodes Saxon nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, John Rutridge¡¯s economic views are very bright. I and him are the same in many places, but there are some differences, and my resume is worse than his. a little." "Except for the directorship of the White House Economic Advisory Council, the following three positions are not suitable for me. Except for this department, it is difficult for other positions to show my political views in the economic field." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his approval. In addition to the post of director, this department of the White House Council of Economic Advisers is composed of three academic economists. Rhodes Saxon is not an academic economist. Another thing is that Rhodes Saxon and John Rutridge have overlapping views. If they live under him, disagreeing opinions are easily rejected and the light will be obscured, which is very detrimental to his political path. It is understandable that Rhodes Saxon is unwilling to be behind John Rutridge. "Rhodes, I understand your concerns." "In this position, based on your previous performance, if you compete with John Rutridge, your success rate is estimated to be only one-fifth. Even if I go to talk to Ronald Reagan, your success rate is the most. half." Hearing this, Rhodes Saxon said immediately: "Half is not low anymore. If this fails, I have nothing to say." He came to Xia Yu for this. As a fundraising figure in the campaign team, Rhodes Saxon knew his true source of credit, and most of it was funded by Xia Yu. Despite this, only he and Ronald Reagan knew. But this will definitely become a consideration. However, he also knows that Xia Yu made an indelible contribution to Ronald Reagan¡¯s campaign. As long as Xia Yu is willing to speak, Ronald Reagan will definitely consider it carefully. This is where his advantage lies. So the result just came out yesterday. Today he ran over in a hurry. Xia Yu smiled faintly and said calmly: "Rhodes, don''t worry, you are my recommended person, I will naturally push you." "But this is not insurance at the moment." "And most importantly, did you just sit there for a few months and then get kicked out, or do you sit for a few years?" "Or to change to a more secure position for a few more years?" "You are only forty-five years old. You have just entered the political arena, but you have entered the White House one step at a time. The most important thing for you is to stabilize your position and spend enough time to show your talents. This is the most important thing." Rhodes Saxon frowned, feeling unable to grasp what Xia Yu meant, and asked: "Mr. Xia, which one do you think I am suitable for?" PS: Political plots are too difficult to write, the head is big, ask for a vote Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 903: For the sake of the United States Xia Yu smiled slightly and said with an expression of Zhizhu shaking in his hands: "Although under normal circumstances, the director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers is the president''s chief economic adviser, the appointment of all the staff of the White House is in the hands of the president. Adding a new economic adviser post, anyway, the president has the final say, without the approval of Congress." "One more thing, your status depends on your status in the eyes of the president. If your ability can''t match John Rutridge, then even if you sit on the position of the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, you will be replaced." "If you can contend with him, even if you are not in the position of the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, you can still become the chief economic adviser in the president''s mind, and even further swap positions with him." Rhodes Saxon nodded in agreement with Xia Yu''s view. He also considered this point, but he was not sure that he would be able to persuade Ronald Reagan to create a separate post for him to compete with the director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. He also thought about it in another way, knowing how much pressure it would cause Ronald Reagan to create this position alone. After all, there are so many people in a team, and the position of senior White House officials is normally more than 20. Everyone wants to be in a high position. Since they can drive for the first time? So why can''t it be opened a second time? What about the third time? Once this kind of thing is not handled properly, it will cause huge internal risks to Ronald Reagan and affect his governance. But he also knew that what he couldn''t do didn''t mean that Xia Yu couldn''t do it, so he came here. Xia Yu continued: "So you should go back a little bit. You have to impress Ronald Reagan with your own theoretical views and let him put you in an important position in your heart." "For the sake of my happy cooperation with him, and also for the happy cooperation between you and him, the best I can do is to provide you with a fair competition opportunity, do you think it is right?" Rhodes Saxon nodded heavily and said: "You are right, I think I am not worse than him, but what I am worse is an opportunity to compete. I need a wide enough platform to show my ability." "Flap!" Xia Yu smiled and applauded, and said with a smile: "Yes, I also think you are not inferior to him. You and John Rutridge have their own characteristics. Although he also writes articles in the media, he is A typical academic expert, but you are different. Although your academic qualifications are not as good as him, your social practice experience far exceeds him. You are an academic and practical talent. Of course, you can see through some more subtle things in combination with reality. This is you The advantages." "No matter how good theories and policies are, they must be practical to achieve a perfect landing." Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Rhodes Saxon again. Seeing the latter''s face in thought, Xia Yu knew he had listened. After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu said again: "But Rhodes, I also hope that your future will be brighter, and I will do my best to help you." "Now Jimmy Carter has left Ronald Reagan with a huge mess. Inflation, economic downturn, high unemployment, and international relations, etc., everyone is watching Ronald Reagan come to power. To be able to solve these problems later, if you want to become the chief economic adviser and become a true core figure in the White House, you have to face these problems and put forward practical and effective measures. Do you want to hear my thoughts?" Rhodes Saxon was shocked and suddenly nodded in surprise: "Of course, Mr. Xia, you are a master in the field of economics. It is my honor to listen to your instructions." Because he and Xia Yu were on the same line, Rhodes Saxon knew a little bit more than outsiders, so he understood Xia Yu''s horror better. In his opinion, the young appearance is completely disguised. Under the young appearance, it is the wisdom and the old way to see through the world. Xia Yu''s advice is definitely not easy to obtain. Next, Xia Yu combined with the mature "Reagan Economics" of later generations, and based on the status quo, began to inculcate Rhodes Saxon''s ideas: "If you want to solve the inflation problem, then the U.S. monetary policy must be expansionary..." The full amount of dry goods tells Xia Yu that Rhodes Saxon can easily distinguish the quality. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Xia Yu¡¯s views have given him a huge inspiration. Many things he had not considered before, but Nowadays, it is practical and effective to think carefully, and has a high degree of execution. He wanted to take a tape recorder to record all Xia Yu''s instructions, but unfortunately he could only get paper and notes urgently. He had to interrupt Xia Yu''s narration more than once because he couldn''t remember them. After three days, Rhodes Saxon simply stayed at Xia Yu¡¯s house. He seized this opportunity to discuss and communicate with Xia Yu. When he encountered incomprehensions, he would inquire in detail. Try to argue with Xia Yu. But there is no need to guess the result of the argument, it is all based on Xia Yu''s victory. After arguing again and again, Rhodes Saxon''s eyes on Xia Yu completely changed, and he was impressed by Xia Yu in his heart. Three days later. Rhodes Saxon, in a suit and leather shoes, stood at the door of Xia Yu¡¯s villa, full of energy and self-confidence. He solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your guidance. I may not be absolutely sure to defeat it three days ago. John Rutridge, but now I have the confidence to win, the chief economic adviser of the White House will definitely be me!" The "Reagan Economics" formed by Reagan''s two years in power in later generations has an unquestionable impact on Rhodes Saxon, and has also brought his ideological and theoretical level to several steps. This improvement is completely cheating. To put it simply, Rhodes Saxon, who learned the essence after Xia Yu¡¯s advice, is a combination of himself + John Rutridge and the entire elite team eight years later. The foundation of Rhodes Saxon¡¯s outstanding performance has been Yes, and it was given by Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Rhodes, remember what I told you. After you go back, you should take the time to show Ronald Reagan your views and talents, give him a surprise, and then I will see him again. " "Okay, I won''t forget." Rhodes Saxon replied. After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu said encouragingly: "Rhodes, I look forward to your performance. If you have any questions, you can ask me and I will do my best to help you." "Mr. Xia, thank you, I will definitely not be polite to you." After speaking, Rhodes Saxon bowed deeply to Xia Yu in thanks. Xia Yu gave him a hand, patted his shoulder, and finally exhorted: "Come on, don''t worry about personal finances. I will solve it perfectly for you. You can work wholeheartedly in the political field. You can build everything you need for your contacts. Voluntarily, I will provide it for you. I look forward to the day when there will be another Saxon family in American politics after the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and other political families." As soon as these words came out, Rhodes Saxon''s mentality was stable enough, and his heartbeat accelerated and he began to look forward to it. It can be said that as long as a person in politics, no one does not want to join the ranks, and he is naturally no exception. Even if he cannot become the top political family in the United States, or a second-rate political family, he can lay the foundation for future generations. Maybe one day, his descendants can succeed? But Rhodes Saxon is not blindly arrogant. He knows that the most important thing at the moment is to hug the two golden thighs of Ronald Reagan and Xia Yu. Both politics and capital have strong support. It is him. The foundation for achieving personal goals. Throughout the United States ancient and modern, it is this model! "Mr. Xia, thank you for your blessing!" "I swear in the name of God that you are the most important friend and life mentor in my life, and you will be the eternal friend of the Saxon family in the future!" Rhodes Saxon solemnly assured. Xia Yu also said with a serious face: "I will always remember your guarantee!" "Come on!" "Mr. Xia, goodbye!" "Bon Voyage!" After waving his hand to watch Rhodes Saxon drive away, Xia Yu turned and went back to the living room to sit down, poured a cup of tea and drank slowly. Just when he wanted to read the information about the film and television industry again, Li Wuming suddenly asked: "Ayu, you teach him how to solve the problems in the United States. If Ronald Reagan adopts it, the United States will become stronger and stronger. Will it affect Hong Kong and the mainland?" Xia Yu looked at Li Wuming in surprise. He didn''t expect this Wu Chi to care about this kind of problem. Sure enough, the environment is the easiest to change a person. It seems that Li Wuming has grown up a lot after being with him for so long. Xia Yu did not stop Li Wuming from progressing. He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Second brother, if Rhodes transmits the views I told him in the past two days to Ronald Reagan, and the latter is really like this. Do it, then the United States will definitely recover, but this recovery will have to be quoted." "The expansion of the U.S. dollar, stimulating the stock market, suppressing labor unions, curbing commodity prices, reducing government spending, etc., can definitely revitalize U.S. economic growth, but this growth is only on the surface, and the adverse effects will be very far-reaching. Wait until the U.S. wants to find problems. It is estimated that Ronald Reagan has stepped down." "Even if Ronald Reagan was discovered when he was still in office, ordinary voters would not be able to detect it. Positive growth data is the most convincing evidence." "The consortium also hopes that he will continue to damage the interests of the bottom to strengthen the strength of the upper pyramid." "The United States is a capitalist country after all, and capitalists are the real masters!" Li Wuming nodded as if he did not understand, although some did not understand, he knew that Xia Yu was digging a hole again. Seeing Li Wuming thinking about it Xia Yu showed a meaningful smile. In this life, with his intervention, Rhodes Saxon has a high probability of becoming Ronald Reagan¡¯s confidant. If he truly accepts the evolutionary version of the campaign slogan "Reagan Economics", then the potential of the United States will be ruined even more. many. Perhaps the impact of the ¡°Reagan Great Recession,¡± the highest record since the ¡°Great Depression¡± of the United States was created in the previous life, will be reduced, but the US fiscal deficit, trade deficit, national debt, foreign debt, and the gap between the rich and the poor will become larger. These things are liked by the consortium, but they are harmful to the people at the bottom, and they are very harmful to the United States. "As a Chinese, I should make America''s''Reagan syndrome'' more serious!" As the responsibilities of Huaxia people in this era, Xia Yu thought so. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 904: Action in the film industry Chapter 904 After Rhodes Saxon left, Xia Yu did not intend to visit Ronald Reagan immediately. He had to wait for Rhodes Saxon to show his talents and change Ronald Reagan¡¯s views before going. Push Rhodes Saxon with the most confidence. The top priority now is to hurry up and improve the layout of the film and television industry. After reading so many days of information, Xia Yu has understood the pattern of the American film industry today. Today there are still eight Hollywood giants, Lianmei has not been acquired by MGM, and MGM and Columbia have not been acquired and integrated by Sony. Because the ranking of the eight Hollywood giants is easily changed by a movie, the ranking of the Hollywood giants is not fixed. Take Universal Pictures. Although it is the oldest, it sometimes ranks first, sometimes it has always been fascinated by investment, and even became a second-class citizen of Hollywood, but now it is backed by the powerful mca group and has signed many influential contracts. The powerful Hollywood director is now in the first class. In general, the current Hollywood production field can be divided into two grades. The first grade is Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Columbia Film Industries. Although there is a gap in the strength of the five companies, they are not just pure production, they have complete distribution channels, and they are also involved in other related industries. They have strong anti-risk capabilities and great influence, and they all have the ability to break hands. The second grade is Disney, MGM and United Artists Company (Lianmei). Disney¡¯s trump card is animated films, but in recent years, the output has been low. As for family movies, they have long been unloved by audiences. However, Disney has not been keenly aware of the shift of market atmosphere in a timely manner, and naturally lost the youth and adult audiences. . Furthermore, the founders of the Disney Company passed away successively. Roy Disney also died in 1978. At this time, the president of the Disney Company was Walt Disney¡¯s son-in-law Ray Miller. The Disney family had only a small number of members in the company. The internal friction was serious and no way out was found, so Disney''s influence in the field of film was declining. Xia Yu saw the report stated that Disneyland and its sister project Disney World accounted for almost three-quarters of the entire Disney company''s revenue, and only managed to keep the production department in operation. This shows the plight of Disney. What about MGM Films? Once the undisputed number one in the golden age of Hollywood, he filmed "Gone with the Wind", shaped "Cat and Mouse", initiated the establishment of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and launched the Oscar Award, which has been filmed by MGM so far The film won the most Oscars in Hollywood. It can be said that MGM is a symbol of Hollywood''s golden age. But with the change of hands and acquisitions time and time again, MGM was tossed into the quagmire step by step. Especially after it was bought as a money laundering tool by Las Vegas gambling tycoon Kirk Kirk in 1970, MGM¡¯s development path took a big turn, Kirk Kirk Lean sold MGM twice and bought it back twice. Last year, Kirk Kerkrian even publicly announced that MGM had become a hotel company. As for the film business, it accounted for about 3% of the entire film market. Once the number one giant in Hollywood has fallen to the point where it is now, Xia Yu can only lament Kirk Kerkrian''s awesomeness. As for Lianmei, this film company founded by Chaplin to get rid of the shackles and exploitation of big film companies was controlled by Wall Street capitalists during the Great Depression, and later changed owners several times and the equity was very dispersed. And because Lianmei is the purest production company, the distribution channel can be said to be the worst among the eight giants. Therefore, after continuous investment failures in recent years and defeating the influence of independent producers, the influence is now The power has been greatly weakened, and now Lianmei¡¯s market share in the film market is about 3% of that of MGM, which is pitifully low. According to the analysis in the report, most of Lianmei¡¯s assets today are virtual assets, and the most valuable are the huge film library and the copyright of the "007" series. And because the current shareholders of Lianmei are basically Wall Street financial investors and they don¡¯t know much about movies. Now the company¡¯s senior executives have much more knowledge about investment than the film industry, so the acquisition value is very low, and even the acquisition needs to be comprehensive. Exchange blood. It¡¯s not written in the report, but what Xia Yu still knows is that if he doesn¡¯t interfere, MGM will acquire Lianmei in 1981 next year. Since then, the eight Hollywood giants have become seven giants, and Lianmei has gradually disappeared. In the long river of history. In addition to the eight Hollywood giants today, there are other players in the American film market. For example, Lucasfilm has relied on the "Star Wars" series in recent years, and its influence is not inferior to that of United States, but its distribution channels are completely dependent on 20 Century Fox, and most of the rights to the "Star Wars" series are in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox, Lucasfilm was unable to squeeze Lianmei down. Therefore, Xia Yu is not too concerned about film companies other than the Big Eight Hollywood. With his current strength, film companies other than the Big Eight are not worth his hands on. In the entire film industry, in addition to production and distribution, there are two very important ones, namely the brokerage and the theater chain. These two are also the focus of Xia Yu''s layout. In the field of celebrity brokerage, the later Hollywood hegemony CAA has only been established for less than five years at this time. Although it has shown signs of rising, it is still just a little brother, and only a few big names have signed it. The company''s annual revenue is only 1,000. Five million U.S. dollars, the net profit is less than five million U.S. dollars. Now in this field, MCA Group, the parent company of Universal Pictures, is the well-deserved boss. The one-stop service model of "Actor + Director + Screenwriter + Behind-the-scenes" that CAA later became famous around the world is what MCA Group has built into the mainstream. Today''s CAA, in the field of American star brokerage, not to mention the top five, even the top ten can not be squeezed into. Finally, there is the cinema market. At this time, the U.S. theater market is in chaos. Due to the Paramount Act, Hollywood giants cannot own theaters. Although many have secretly invested in some theaters or have reached cooperation with some theaters, They are all tied up, unable to deliberately manipulate the theater market from behind to substantially integrate the theater market. Now the theater market is far from the oligarchy era. Later North American Emperor Entertainment, AMC and Ximanke three major theater oligarchs, but once accounted for more than 50% of the number of North American theaters and screens, and the box office also accounted for more than half. The theater''s voice is not generally large. . But now, according to a survey report, North America now has more than 10,000 theaters and 17,000 screens. The number of theaters and screens of the top five theater chains combined is less than 2% of the market. ten! The chaos of the theater market is exactly what Xia Yu wants to see most, because it means that the difficulty of integration is very low. As long as he is willing to spend money and keep it fast enough, he can acquire and integrate a huge courtyard at an extremely fast speed. Line company. In response to the information collected by Peter Lynch, Xia Yu quickly made a plan of action. On the film company''s side, they are trying their best to acquire MGM and Lianmei, which are the most difficult ones, and integrate them to re-participate in the competition in the film industry. They even make preparations to acquire Disney, whose brand value is seriously underestimated. The brokerage company focused on grasping the future, using funds to pry open the door of CAA and take Michael Ovitz as his own use. The field of theaters is the simplest and rude way to use money to create a theater network all over the United States. And considering that Ronald Reagan has not yet relaxed the policy of the film industry, in order not to touch the "Paramount Act", the theater company must hang up separately. After the decision, Xia Yu immediately went to Polaris Capital to form a team to acquire United American Films. At the same time, arrangements were made for the offshore company to register a shell subsidiary for Xiangjiang Global Cinemas, and the shell company entrusted the purchase of theaters to Polaris Capital. Then he entrusted Goldman Sachs Group to acquire the MGM Pictures in the hands of the gambler Kirk Kerkrian. As for the MGM Hotel of the same name, these are not within the scope of the acquisition, and of course they cannot be bought. In the end, Xia Yu went out on his own and took some of his subordinates to Hollywood, preparing to meet the uncrowned king of Hollywood.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 905: CAA that has not yet risen "BOSS, CAA''s station is on the third floor." Three black Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked neatly in the parking space on the side of the road. Xia Yu and the others got out of the car. Assistant Gordon Simpson pointed to a hanging sign on the third floor ten meters away. "Let''s go!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and Gordon Simpson led the way. After a while, a group of people came to the reception of CAA. Gordon Simpson went to negotiate, took out a business card and handed it to the front desk, saying: "Hello, we are from Polaris Capital. We made an appointment yesterday. This is our company. business card." "Okay, please wait, you guys sit there first." After speaking at the front desk, he took out the appointment book and looked through it a few times. After confirming that it was correct, he made a call, said a few words and then hung up, and said respectfully to Gordon Simpson: "Hello, our president just has In the office, my colleague will take you there." "Ok." Under the leadership of a female employee, before Xia Yu and others arrived at the president''s office, they saw someone standing at the door and greeted him with a smile. Xia Yu recognized Michael Ovitz at a glance. "Hello, I am Michael Ovitz, and welcome you!" Michael Ovitz warmly shook hands with everyone one by one to express welcome. Yesterday, after the appointment of Polaris Capital, he learned about the situation of Polaris Capital. He was shocked by the strength of Polaris Capital. He couldn''t calm down for a day. Expectation, anxiety, entanglement and other emotions lingered in his heart. Seeing Michael Ovitz¡¯s exploration gaze, Gordon Simpson introduced Xia Yu to him: "Mr. Ovitz, this is the BOSS of our Polaris Capital Company, Mr. Xia Yuxia." "Mr. Ovitz, hello!" After Gordon Simpson introduced, Xia Yu said with a smile. Hearing that Xia Yu turned out to be the boss of Polaris Capital, Michael Ovitz was shocked and not calm at the same time. His attitude became more enthusiastic, even with a hint of respect. He greeted Xia Yu into the office quickly at the same time: "Mr. Xia, very It''s an honor to meet you, please inside!" "Thank you!" After entering, the female employee was preparing coffee. Michael Ovitz was a little uncomfortable and asked first: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know what kind of business you come to our company?" Xia Yu smiled slightly, nodded and said frankly: "Our company intends to get involved in the film industry, and the brokerage company is in the industry chain, so I have been investigating brokerage companies these days. Your company is the second one I came to. "Mr. Ovitz, can you introduce your company to me?" Hearing that his company was the second under investigation, Michael Ovitz was not happy and surprised. He was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of the owner of Polaris Capital, but now he suddenly feels disappointed. To calm the inner fluctuations, Michael Ovitz agreed and said: "Of course it''s no problem, it''s my honor." "Our company was founded in 1975. After five years of development, our CAA is now a well-known Hollywood brokerage company, and the growth momentum is also the most violent. And just last month, we followed Sean Connery and Paul After Newman, once again signed a superstar Dustin Hoffman..." Polaris Capital''s ability to collect business intelligence is very powerful. Xia Yu has already seen the detailed information of CAA. At this time, asking Michael Ovitz to introduce his company is nothing more than pretending to be ignorant to gain the initiative and waiting for an opportunity to elicit topics. That''s it. Xia Yu can tell the difference easily. Mike Ovitz is boasting about CAA, not mentioning its weaknesses. CAA, the full name of innovative elite cultural brokerage company, has five founders, namely Michael Ovitz, Ron Meyer, Mike Rosenfeld, William Hubble and Roland Perkins, all of whom are He resigned from the top brokerage firm William Morris in Hollywood. After that, the sixth partner Martin Baomu joined, opening the ceiling for CAA and boosting CAA''s rapid growth. Now CAA has also signed three superstars, as well as some potential little stars or newcomers. The company has only 28 agents. The growth is relatively fast, but the shortcomings are also quite obvious, that is, the foundation is too thin. Relying on the hard work of founders such as Michael Ovitz. With CAA''s revenue reaching 15 million U.S. dollars last year, CAA''s growth rate has slowed significantly. As far as Xia Yu knows, CAA has annual revenue of 15 million U.S. dollars, but its net profit is only 4.6 million U.S. dollars, and Michael Ovitz, as the president, has an annual salary of only 300,000 U.S. dollars. Looking at the spot to know the leopard, we can see the true strength of CAA today. Because of his understanding, Xia Yu listened to Michael Ovitz¡¯s introduction as a joke, except that he kept a smile on his face throughout, nothing unusual. "Mr. Xia, I''m finished. CAA''s situation is probably that." Michael Ovitz finished speaking with a long sigh of relief and took a sip of coffee. "Mr. Ovitz, after listening to your introduction, CAA does have some obvious advantages, but for us, it is still too weak." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said. Hearing this, Michael Ovitz couldn''t help but rise in anger, but when he thought of the strength of Polaris Capital, he felt a sense of powerlessness. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said to Michael Ovitz: "Mr. Ovitz, I¡¯m sorry to say that, but this is indeed true. Our company likes big investments, just like our $1.1 billion investment in IBM, rather than small investments. Wait, we prefer to spend money to save time." Michael Ovitz disappeared in a rage, and some were just unwilling and bitter, and others were telling the truth. What could he do? Xia Yu''s invisible pretense hit him even more! Realizing that the impact was almost over, Xia Yu suddenly changed his conversation and said, "But compared to CAA, I am more optimistic about you. The reason why I stopped by CAA to have a look is because I heard others talk about you. , You do have qualities and abilities that surpass others." Michael Ovitz was in a better mood. After thanking him, he calmly asked, "Then Mr. Xia, can I know your plan?" "I want to invest in you, and both you and CAA need strong capital as a backing, don''t they?" Michael Ovitz was hit by Xia Yu one after another just now. He was a little unhappy. At this moment, he suddenly heard Xia Yu want to invest in him. Instead, he reacted a little and tried to regain some initiative for himself: "Mr. Xia, thanks Your recognition of me, but I don¡¯t think CAA is short of funds. CAA is already on the right track. Success is a matter of time and I am confident.¡± Xia Yu said: "Mr. Ovitz, don''t refuse, do you want to hear my views on other brokerage companies?" Michael Ovitz realized that Xia Yu wanted to hit him sideways, but he still wanted to hear what Xia Yu wanted to say, nodded and said, "Of course, this is my honor." After taking a sip of coffee to moisturize his voice, Xia Yu said: "In the field of agency, the most powerful thing today is MCA Group. Lou Wasserman has unparalleled influence in the entertainment industry. He can be called the emperor of the entertainment industry. The company is under pressure. I heard that your idol is him, so you should be very aware of the strength of the MCA Group." These words, Michael Ovitz was speechless, because it is indeed true. His goal is to become a figure like Lou Wasserman, who has planned and dominated the way Hollywood works for decades. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and then said: "William Morris Brokerage Company is the company you used to work for. You should also be very clear that this is a top Hollywood brokerage company with annual revenue of more than 100 million US dollars. There are more than one hundred and fifty brokers under its umbrella, and both assets and influence in Hollywood are far above CAA." "Of course, I was planning to acquire this company from the beginning, at best it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars." Michael Ovitz''s face was suddenly ugly, and tremendous pressure rose in his heart. He came from the William Morris Brokerage Company. He naturally knows the strength of his old company. If it is acquired by Polaris Capital, then it will have strong support from Polaris Capital. From the current situation of Hollywood''s brokerage industry with one superpower and many strong players, it has become a bipolar competition for hegemony. Then the two will fight each other, and their medium and small brokerage companies will definitely be unlucky. Large companies have the confidence to increase salaries and treatments, but if they do, the company will easily fall into a loss and enter an endless loop. Michael Ovitz¡¯s ugly face was captured by Xia Yu. He pretended not to notice, and continued to focus on: ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about large brokerage companies. Let¡¯s look at medium-sized brokerage companies, such as the International Innovation Management Company on Constellation Avenue. CAA was founded in the same year, but it started by combining the two brokerage companies, the Innovation Management Association and the famous international brokerage company, into one. It is also a subsidiary of the listed company Josephson International, with strong financial resources. "Although the previous years have caused a lot of disputes due to improper management, after the new president Jeffrey Berg took office at the beginning of this year, he has allowed the international innovation management company to develop at a high speed, showing a strong aggressiveness. There is no doubt that the future of Hollywood The top brokerage company must have its seat." "I heard that international innovation management companies have been digging corners. I wonder if they have digged into CAA?" Hearing this, Michael Ovitz¡¯s face is as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the International Innovation Management Company is his opponent. He has dug out many celebrities and agents. If not for his active work, does CAA have three major Superstars are hard to say. He hated the international innovation management company''s unscrupulous expansion by relying on capital, but behind the hatred, is it not the mentality of saying grapes sour without eating grapes? If CAA has enough funds, he will do more than international innovation management companies! Pay attention to everything in moderation. Seeing that Michael Ovitz had been hit so hard that he couldn''t force a smirk, Xia Yu showed a kind smile and returned to the topic and said: "Mr. Ovitz, if we cooperate, CAA can definitely become a top Hollywood agency. You will realize your dreams, gain huge prestige and wealth, and I will improve the industrial chain and get a certain return on venture capital." "What do you think of my proposal?" Michael Ovitz had already agreed to accept the investment of Polaris Capital at this time, but he completely lost the initiative during the whole process. If he rashly agreed, he would definitely be killed. Furthermore, although he was promoted to president by other partners last year, he did not hold much equity, only 25%, so he could not be the master. Thinking of this, he calmly said to Xia Yu with an apologetic face: "Mr. Xia, I am a little confused now, and I cannot think clearly for the time being, and CAA has five other partners. This matter must be done through collective discussion. Decided." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said understandingly: "I know, but I hope you will think about it. I am really optimistic about you." "Let¡¯s do this for today, it''s getting late, I also made an appointment with Wiseborn, the president of William Morris Brokerage, in the morning, now it''s over." Michael Ovitz''s heart sank, and he managed to squeeze out a smile, sending Xia Yu and others out the door. Watching the three Rolls-Royce Phantoms start moving in the direction of the old owner, Michael Ovitz was under great pressure and immediately notified five partners to come to the company for an emergency meeting. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 906: Sudden Invitation (Part 2 "Guys, this is the situation, what do you think?" In the CAA meeting room, Michael Ovitz told the five partners what Xia Yu had said when he was talking with him, and then shrugged and said, his eyes wandering in the crowd. Martin Baum, Mike Rosenfeld and others looked at each other and were a little at a loss, but there was one thing in common, that is, everyone felt the tremendous pressure. For a long time, Mother Martin Bowen frowned and asked: "Michael, are you sure they went to the William Morris agency?" Michael Ovitz shook his head ugly and said: "I only saw them heading in that direction. I''m not sure if they would go there, but they are indeed from Polaris Capital. You can learn more about Polaris Capital. Look closely, they have this strength." "I would rather believe that they do have this idea." Only then did Martin Baomu and others focus on the unopened copy and browsed it carefully. For a while, the meeting room became quiet again. Michael Ovitz''s gaze was a little ecstatic, he didn''t know what he was thinking, but his frowned brow and changing face indicated that he was not at peace. After about seven or eight minutes, everyone had read the information in their hands, and Martin Bao¡¯s mother no longer entangled whether what Xia Yu said to Michael Ovitz before leaving was true or false. Polaris Capital has billions of dollars in assets and is a behemoth for them. The boss of this company does not need to lie to them. And since the boss is really out there, it proves that Polaris Capital Corporation values ??the brokerage field. They have only two choices for CAA. One is to accept investment. The benefits are obvious. CAA companies can instantly become rich men, but their equity will shrink. The second is to become an enemy, but the result is hard to say. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not be deliberately targeted and suppressed. If it does happen, CAA will definitely not be able to handle it. How to choose? Martin Baomu actually has the answer in his mind, but he wants to know what everyone thinks. Feeling that I haven''t heard the sound of turning the page for a long time, Michael Ovitz returned to his senses, scanning the faces of everyone for a week, and said: "Everyone has read the information, so we should return to the topic just now. How should we choose?" "Accept investment or not accept investment?" The other five looked at each other, expecting the others to speak first. It''s not a problem to drag like this. Michael Ovitz directly called the name, looked at Ron Meyer who was sitting on the left, and said, "Lang, what do you think?" Lang Meyer thought for a while and said: "In fact, after five years of development, our company has been on the right track, but the shortcomings are also very obvious. All of us here have climbed up from the bottom, and there is no capital support behind them. , The company¡¯s development has slowed down." "Moreover, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and it is easier to attract the attention of giants in the same field. Then the pressure will increase. Not to mention that we have been targeted by capital now. There are only two choices. So I think that accepting investment is the best choice." "This is my opinion." After speaking, Lang Meyer spread his hands, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the others. Michael Ovitz looked at Mike Rosenfeld again and asked, "Mike, what do you think?" Mike Rosenfeld said with a wry smile: "Michael, do we still have a choice? If Polaris Capital fails to invest in us and does acquire William Morris Brokerage, then our future will be very difficult. The only way is to find A backer who is not inferior to Polaris Capital to contend, but at that time we will lose more initiative, the end will remain the same, and it will be even worse." "Since we can''t escape being invested by capital, why don''t we take the initiative?" Everyone was silent, agreeing with Mike Rosenfeld''s analysis in their hearts. Michael Ovitz did not make a statement, and looked at William Hubble again: "William, what do you think?" ... After making a statement, there is no doubt that everyone believes that accepting the investment of Polaris Capital is the best result. Michael Ovitz was in a mixed mood, and he didn''t know whether he was relieved or lost. He cleared up his emotions and said to everyone: "Since everyone agrees to accept the investment, then we will discuss the specific matters." Three days later. Xia Yu brought a complete acquisition team such as Gordon Simpson to CAA again. Six people including Michael Ovitz all welcomed him side by side at the door. After saying hello for a while, everyone came to the conference room to start negotiations. Michael Ovitz and others had fallen into a disadvantage from the moment they agreed, but they did not give up, all hoping for greater benefits. On the other hand, Xia Yu grasped the yardstick. Although he was once aggressive, he still maintained a certain degree of restraint. The success of CAA is inseparable from Michael Ovitz and others, so the cooperation time in the future is still very long, and Xia Yu did not increase the risk of cooperation in order to save millions of dollars. In the end, after an hour of negotiation, the bottom line of the two parties finally overlapped, and the negotiation was completed in one go. Xia Yu gave CAA a high valuation of 40 million U.S. dollars, and Polaris Capital injected 38.4 million U.S. dollars into CAA for the expansion of CAA. In the original CAA company¡¯s equity structure, Michael Ovitz held 25% of the shares, and the remaining five held 15% each. After the capital injection, the equity structure of CAA is: Polaris Capital holds 49%, Michael Ovitz holds 12.75%, and the other five people hold 7.65%. . As long as the six Michael Ovitz remain one mind, then the control of CAA will remain in their hands. Of course, the agreement also stipulates that Polaris Capital has the first right to acquire the equity transfers of the six of them, and the six of them also have the first right to acquire the CAA equity of Polaris Capital. Finally, it is the company''s personnel system and salary system. There is no change in personnel, and Michael Ovitz is still the president. But Michael Ovitz¡¯s annual salary has increased from 300,000 U.S. dollars to 500,000 U.S. dollars, and the salaries of others have also risen to 400,000 U.S. dollars. ... After the contract was signed, Xia Yu, with a kind smile on his face, shook hands with Michael Ovitz and said: "The funds will be transferred to the company''s account within three days." "From now on, we are a family, and I can tell you some things in advance." "Polaris Capital will make a big difference in the film industry. It is now acquiring eight giants and will also enter other entertainment fields in the future. At that time, the business will be CAA." "At present, I have a script, and I plan to invest more than 20 million US dollars after the acquisition of the film company to shoot water loss. At that time, the actor''s agent will be CAA company." "But before that, you have to find a way to help me contact Steven Spielberg, he needs to be filmed for this movie." The series of bombs thrown by Xia Yu made Michael Ovitz and the others dizzy. When he reacted, he couldn''t help being surprised and felt from the bottom of his heart that accepting Polaris Capital''s investment was not a loss. He immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Mr. Xia, I will start to expand the company immediately. As for director Steven Spielberg, he was filming in Hawaii last month, which was jointly filmed by Paramount and Lucasfilm. "Bao Qibing", it should be almost finished now, I will contact him first." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, the script has been finalized and it has been registered. I will send it to you tomorrow. You can find a chance to give Steven Spielberg. If he wants to shoot, you Notify me again." "Ok." ... After Michael Ovitz convened all the employees of the company for a meeting and announced to everyone that CAA had accepted the capital injection from Polaris Capital. All employees were delighted. Backed by capital giants, CAA has solved the biggest shortcomings, and the future will be brighter. After Xia Yu dispatched personnel to CAA for supervision, he was left to run by Michael Ovitz and others. With his help in this life, CAA will rise faster than the previous life. In the next few days, Xia Yu did not interfere with other acquisitions, but sorted out various investments in the company and did a good job of checking. On November 25th, an exquisite and elegant invitation was presented to Xia Yu, who could not help but say that he was ready to go.

More than 100,000 overseas Chinese live here. In terms of scale, it is second only to New York¡¯s Chinatown. Throughout California, most Chinese people gather here. For hundreds of years, San Francisco Chinatown has become a mecca for overseas Chinese. In a country where guns are flooded, social security is a huge problem. Coupled with the issue of racial discrimination in the United States, Chinese people can only choose to get together if they want to survive. In the entire state of California, there are nearly a thousand Chinese groups, most of which are concentrated in San Francisco. Among them, there are six most famous halls in San Francisco, namely Wuzhou Hongmen Zhigong Hall, Binggong Main Hall, Cuisheng Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Hesheng Main Hall, Yingduan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Jinmen Xiesheng The labor union, each of these six companies has a history of more than a hundred years. The purpose of establishing these halls back then was to protect members by force from others. Members, regardless of social background, surname, or native place, united and helped each other to take care of each other. It¡¯s just that with the passage of time, the social resources and heritage of each lobby are accumulating more and more, and due to the environmental factors of the United States, each lobby is constantly being washed white. If you want to change from black to business, the difference lies in washing The degree is different. The person who invited Xia Yu this time was the Patriarch of the Situ Family and Situ Boshan, the head of the Zhigong Hall! Xia Yu and Situ Boshan knew each other well. When he first came to San Francisco to set up Polaris Capital, he spent $1.7 million to buy a mansion in the wealthy Atherton district of San Francisco¡¯s South Bay. After going out, people kept visiting. Xia Yu met Situ Boshan at that time. During the previous election, when Ronald Reagan came to San Francisco to give a speech, Xia Yu visited Situ Boshan again and asked him to help mobilize the Chinese to wave the flag for Ronald Reagan. And when voting in the general election on November 4 this month, Xia Yu also commissioned Situ Boshan to mobilize the Chinese to vote for Ronald Reagan. The latter also did his best to do this and contributed to Ronald Reagan. A strength. It''s just that Xia Yu has been busy, and in the true sense of the December electoral vote has not yet taken place, so Xia Yu just made a phone call to express his gratitude, and did not come to visit. This time, Situ Boshan took the initiative to invite Xia Yu, not as the master of the Gongzongtang, but as a private party. It was a family banquet, so Xia Yu bought a bunch of gifts before going. From a distance, Xia Yu saw two people standing at the door of Situ''s house, one old and one young. It was Situ Boshan and his 28-year-old son Situ Nan. After the car stopped, Xia Yu immediately got out of the car and walked forward with a smile to say hello: "Master, brother Situ, I''m sorry you have been waiting for so long here. I''m really sorry." Situ Boshan laughed, shook hands with Xia Yu and said loudly, "Mr. Xia said, you are not late." "Furthermore, you are a distinguished guest of our Situ family. To show that you value it, I should greet you at the door." Xia Yu humbly said again. "Mr. Xia, what other presents do you bring, it''s too much." Seeing Li Wuming taking out a pile of gifts from the trunk, the old man Situ Boshan said with some dissatisfaction. Xia Yu laughed and said: "Yes, no one has nothing to do. I have some fruits." Situ Bo Shanban pretended to be upset and said, "Mr. Xia, you can''t bring it next time. Your arrival has already made the humble house and Pengxuan shine. You can come to give me the greatest gift." After finishing speaking, Situ Boshan instructed his son Situ Nan: "Anan, pick it up for Mr. Xia." "Mr. Xia, please inside!" "Master, please invite first!" "Go together!" After a few words of mutual humility, Situ Boshan and Xia Yu entered side by side, Situ Nan and Li Wuming followed behind by two steps. The layout of Situ''s house is in accordance with the Chinese style, and the decoration is the same. If you didn''t know that this was San Francisco, and just walked into it, you would definitely think that you came to the rich and ancient mansion of which village in China. In San Francisco, thousands of miles away from the motherland, the Chinese retain many customs and cultures from their hometown, and the layout of houses is a very obvious place. The Situ family is a large family. After hundreds of years of reproduction, the family population is already quite large. Even though some of the direct family members returned to the motherland by Situ Boshan''s uncle decades ago, there are still dozens of them. As for the Situ family members who stayed in San Francisco, Situ Boshan is the main family. Xia Yu also met Situ Boshan''s wife, as well as Situ Nan''s wife and 4-year-old son in the yard. Situ Nan originally had a son, but died unexpectedly. After a brief cup of tea, I had lunch. The lunch was made by Situ Boshan¡¯s wife and daughter-in-law together. It was a very authentic Cantonese cuisine. Xia Yu had a great appetite and ate very smoothly. After the meal, it was half past one in the afternoon. The father and son Situ Boshan and Xia Yu came to the yard together and sat down around the rustic stone table to drink tea. "Father, this time the election will bother you." Xia Yu thanked him. Situ Boshan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It''s nothing to raise your hand. Before, we Chinese didn''t care about politics, so we didn''t participate in voting in every general election. This time I can help Mr. Xia. Of course I have to help you." Xia Yu expressed his gratitude again. After taking a sip of tea, he pondered for a moment and said to Situ Boshan: "Master, there are no outsiders here. I will just say a few words of heart-wrenching. If you don''t listen to it, I will still look at the sea." Situ Boshan''s eyes condensed, and he made a gesture of please and said, "Mr. Xia, please tell me, there is nothing to say between you and me. Your career is so big, and it is my honor to be able to listen to you. " "Don''t dare to give advice, just say a few humble opinions!" With a modest sentence, Xia Yu said slowly: "All the time, Chinese Americans have not cared about or participated in politics. This has something to do with the cultural thoughts of our Chinese since ancient times. We should take care of our own one-third of an acre and pay attention to''people do not commit crimes. I, I¡¯m not a criminal,¡¯ so I have a mindset of keeping away from American politics.¡± "Of course, this does not rule out the fact that the Chinese tried to integrate into the American political field, but the efforts were fruitless. "But I don''t agree with this approach. The United States does not have the long-standing cultural heritage of ours in China. American culture is inherited from pirates and prisoners. The emphasis here is the supremacy of the strong. If you want to live well here, you can only fight. ,competition!" "In the United States, whites have always been supreme. Blacks were originally as miserable as our yellow races, but blacks have been fighting. So today, although the status of blacks is not as good as that of whites, it is far beyond that of the yellow races in the United States. There is no denying the reason for the larger number of blacks." "But among the yellow race, our Chinese ethnic group is the largest, followed by Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese." "But in fact, although we Chinese have the largest number of people, the highest social status is the Filipino, followed by the Indian. Why is this result? It is because they will fight!" "We Chinese Americans have things that are basically not resolved through the official, but privately resolved by ourselves, and do not participate in politics, so both the Democratic and Republican parties give up to us, so in the final analysis, the social status of the Chinese is low, but it is actually ourselves. As a result, we gave up the rights granted to us by the U.S. Constitution." "Now the top Chinese groups are trying their best to clean up. Isn¡¯t it to improve social status? The best way to improve social status is to actively participate in politics and climb up as much as possible. The majority of Chinese people speak out, defend our rights and compete for our resources!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Sima Boshan sighed and said, "Mr. Xia, I know what you said is correct, and I am aware of this. However, the large groups of Chinese are intertwined and the situation is very complicated." "It''s not that no one has thought about participating in American politics for hundreds of years, but they have been excluded. We have more than enough energy but not enough energy! Over time, we naturally gave up!" "In addition, the entrances to the lobby are now deeply trapped, and there are a lot of internal struggles. It is difficult to work together to climb up, and this opportunity is not found." "Because of this, we simply gave up participating in politics and used our own methods to solve problems." "Even if it is Zhigongzongtang, although I am the head of the hall, it is not as beautiful as it seems. The major elder families in the main hall still have a lot of right to speak, not to mention the lower-level forces involved. Now!" "After all, many Chinese can''t live a stable and good life, and they don''t live well. How can they be expected to care about politics?" Xia Yu was silent for a moment. He also had a special knowledge of Zhigongtang''s situation and knew that what Situ Boshan said was true. Among the six top halls in San Francisco, the other five halls kept whitewashing, resulting in the lowest level of whitewashing at the Gongzongtang. After the leader Zhou Tianlong, the leader of the future generations, reached the summit, it became more and more black. When Tianlong was arrested, he was convicted of 162 counts by the US judicial department and sentenced to life imprisonment, plus more than 2,900 years of imprisonment, without bail, completely defeating Zhigongtang''s reputation. As for the best sentence of Situ Boshan, it also explains the current situation and true thinking of the Chinese Americans. Rather than allowing them to rely on political power to solve their own problems, they prefer to rely on their own hands to support themselves, even if they are a little tired, this is the most industrious nation in the world. "But father, it''s not a way to live by it. The Chinese have paid no less than other groups for the construction of the United States. If you don''t fight, all kinds of education and social welfare will exceed the Chinese as they are now. These things are what the Chinese deserve~ www.novelhall.com~ And if the Chinese want to live well in the United States, climbing up is the best way out. Pure commerce is limited. Without political asylum, no matter how big the foundation is, it is easy to collapse, so politics is the path You must go, and you must be strong enough to have sheltering ability!" Situ Boshan nodded and said: "I know, so after knowing that you have friendship with Ronald Reagan, I wondered that it is time to go on this path. Let me take the lead first. As long as I am willing to go, after all There will be a way out. Maybe one day we Chinese will also have sheriffs, judges, governors, and councilors!" Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master, I have a good relationship with Ronald Reagan. I can really help in many places. I want to know what you plan to do?" Sima Boshan suddenly looked at Situ Nan, who had been silent for a long time. Situ Nan had a firm expression and sincerely pleaded with Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I intend to go into politics. I want to work for the happiness of Chinese people in the United States and extend my compatriots. Justice, please give me some advice!"

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 908: Political and commercial cooperation Chapter 908 Xia Yu looked at Situ Nan, who looked sincere, and looked at Situ Boshan. Situ Boshan said immediately: "Mr. Xia, I ask you to be a guide for my son''s political path!" Xia Yu looked solemn, nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, since Brother Situ has this ambition, I should give my full assistance!" Xia Yu knew about Situ Nan''s background, a well-qualified student, obtained a doctorate in law from the University of California, Berkeley, and now works in the number one law firm Kravis, Sven and Moore in the United States. With his abilities and academic qualifications, he is indeed very suitable for politics! Of course, considering that he is the future head of the Situ family, his starting point is very high based on the reputation of the Situ family in San Francisco and even Chinese Americans. But the starting point is high, the key is to successfully enter the American political arena and gain a firm foothold, and there must be political support from behind. Xia Yu knew very well that when Situ Boshan sought him out as Situ Nan''s guide, he actually valued his relationship with Ronald Reagan. Although outsiders always say that the president is a puppet launched by capitalists, in the political field, the power is still very large. Perhaps some extremely important things must pass the Congress, but in some things that do not need to go through the Congress, the president has a very strong influence. powerful. As long as Ronald Reagan greets Situ Nan, Situ Nan will grow very rapidly. Among the Chinese, the Situ family and Zhigongzongtang can help him. Xia Yu has a strong strength in the capital field. In the political field, coupled with the favor of the US president, a pig can fly, not to mention the ability not bad. Where is Situ Nan? Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Xia Yu is willing to become Situ Nan''s guide, or even protector, to **** his political path. "Mr. Xia, thank you for your help!" Situ Nan stood up and bowed solemnly to Xia Yu, with a very sincere attitude. "Mr. Xia, do you think that if I want to be in politics, how do I go best?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "First you have to join the Republican Party. Now that the election is over, you have to go to the Republican Party office in San Francisco to go through the party membership procedures." "Next, your first goal is to find a way to become a councilman of San Francisco." "I will say hello to Ronald Reagan. He was the governor of California before, and he has a lot of connections here." "Although California is the Democratic Party''s iron vote warehouse, the Republican Party also has a lot of power here. Moreover, now that the Republican Party is about to come to power, it will definitely find ways to improve the situation in California. I will fight for you through Ronald Reagan. The power of the Republican Party." "You have a natural advantage, that is your identity. As long as you can integrate the Chinese in San Francisco, then you have room for advance and retreat and struggle. The Republican Party will never miss your strength." "After winning the support of the Chinese, you can expand your influence among Asians. If you want to go higher, you will definitely not be able to rely on the Chinese. You must rely on the entire Asian community." "In addition, you have to have enough influence in various charities and public welfare organizations, and social organizations. I will help you on this point. I will elaborate on this later." "The second step after the city councilor is the state councilor, the third step is the House of Representatives, and the fourth step is the senator. It is not impossible to plan to enter the cabinet even afterwards." "Of course the latter are not what you have to consider for the time being, they are still far away from you. The top priority now is to become a city councillor. It is not difficult to say, the key depends on how to operate!" "There is less than a year and a half before the next city council election. Time is tight, but it is not impossible. You are already twenty-eight years old. You are striving to become a San Francisco city councilman in more than a year." Situ Nan took all Xia Yu''s words to heart, nodded and said, "I understand." After speaking to Situ Nan, Xia Yu looked at Situ Boshan again, and said bluntly: "Master, my problem is not big, the key lies with you." Situ Boshan frowned and asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, what are your opinions?" Xia Yu didn¡¯t dwell on the etiquette of speech any more, and went straight to the subject and said: ¡°I believe that the Situ family has great prestige in Zhigongtang and the Chinese, but as you said just now, the Zhigongtang is not the Situ family now. It¡¯s said that, and the degree of whitening is too low now, there are huge hidden dangers in it." "The importance of Brother Situ in the eyes of the Republican Party depends on the appeal of the Situ family among Chinese and Asian Americans!" "So my opinion is, sir, you have to subdue the other forces in Zhi Gong Zong Tang, put Zhi Gong Zong Tang in full control, grasp the development direction of Zhi Gong Zong Tang, and decentralize the force. The Gongzongtang has obvious involvement." "Now the other five halls are working hard to clean up, but Zhi Gong Zongtang is far behind in this respect, and it will fall into the abyss by accident!" "The next step is to spread the influence of the Situ family to other organizations. The people of the Situ family can enter other business groups and societies and become a link to integrate their influence, and then further contact the Chinese in the United States, and take the lead in the establishment of Chinese Americans. Federation." "Of course there is one thing to pay attention to, and that is capital!" "As the saying goes, ¡®strike iron requires hard work¡¯. The Situ family must have enough capital to influence the jobs of enough Chinese. Although the Situ family has made achievements in the commercial field, I think it¡¯s not enough.¡± According to Xia Yu¡¯s understanding, although the Situ family has a certain strength in the commercial field, they also run some restaurants and stalls, and do some foreign trade business. It is enough to support the family, but the Chinese who live by the Situ family are still Too little. Situ Boshan contemplated his eyebrows and stroked Xia Yu''s words again. He had to admit in his heart that Xia Yu''s words were Zhuji, and he analyzed the problem thoroughly. If these problems can really be solved to the extent Xia Yu said, then the Situ family can definitely stand on the top of the Chinese in the United States and become a banner of the Chinese, instead of outsiders hearing Situ like now. Home, the first thing I remembered was his uncle who ran for the motherland decades ago and finally stood at the founding celebration. "Mr. Xia, your analysis is thorough, and certain things should be done, otherwise the foundation of the ancestors will be ruined!" Situ Boshan looked solemn and said in a deep voice, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes. The Huang Family, Chen Family, Liang Family and other families in the Zhigong General Hall have a history of one hundred years, and they are not inferior to the Situ family. The interior is full of intrigue. Moreover, Zhigongzongtang is still contaminated with many taboo industries. Especially in the past few years, Zhou Tianlong, who has been introduced to join the Chigongzongtang from Xiangjiang, relies on the courage to fight and fight, and his prestige is increasing day by day. Full of sex, he felt like a man on his back more than once. Zhi Gong Zong Tang has to turn the bow of the ship, and the other big families will not mention it. At least Zhou Tianlong must evaporate from the world, otherwise it will continue to be dragged, and it is not impossible to be forced to step down by him! Seeing that Situ Boshan had already had an idea, Xia Yu smiled slightly and said nothing. Situ Boshan is more than 50 years old, and he is well old, and he has eaten more salt than he has eaten. He can become the master of Zhigong Hall without any bad methods and strategies. When it comes to the positioning of Zhigongzongtang, as well as the future of the Situ family, especially the future of his son, there is no need to worry that he can''t be cruel. Now he has reached a cooperation with the Situ family, the stronger the influence of the Situ family, the greater the benefits to him in the future. In the white supremacy of America, he needs someone to brag for him after all, and people of the same race are undoubtedly the most suitable! What''s more, for these compatriots who are not yellow-skinned and white-hearted, but have always retained the Chinese cultural heritage, he also feels that he has an obligation to do something for them and improve their living environment. The better the overseas Chinese live and the greater their influence, the better the motherland''s international situation will be in the future! Just when Xia Yu picked up the teacup and drank tea, thinking that today''s affairs were almost over, Situ Boshan spoke again. "Mr. Xia, you are a business wizard. I wonder if we have a chance to deepen our cooperation?" Xia Yu raised his brows, and he was anxious to deepen cooperation. The relationship with interests is definitely deeper. He thought for a while and asked, "Master, cooperation is of course no problem. First of all, you have to find a suitable direction. I don''t know what industries the Situ family has?" Situ Boshan didn¡¯t conceal it, and said directly: ¡°The stalls of Situ¡¯s house are quite mixed, with jewellery, antiques, food, catering, trade, retail, etc. involved, but most of them are small shops, the most prominent is Food and trade." These are not very different from what Xia Yu knew. He thought for a while and said, "Father, we can cooperate in trade. After I return, I will notify my subsidiary companies to contact Situ''s first for products exported to North America. What do you think?" Situ Boshan hurriedly smiled and said, "If you can''t ask for it, then Mr. Xia will take care of it." But this is not over yet. In Xia Yu''s eyes, the potential and influence of trade is not as good as the catering industry. He thought of the future generations of the first Chinese restaurant chain in the United States-Panda Fast Food, with more than 2,000 stores, more than 30,000 employees, and an annual turnover of more than 3 billion US dollars! There are more than 30,000 employees alone, not to mention the number of jobs that can be driven by the catering industry chain, which can definitely reach hundreds of thousands or more, which can affect hundreds of thousands of families and millions of people. Not to mention the annual tax payment, the owner of Panda Fast Food is definitely a guest of the local government. Having been in the United States for so long, Xia Yu has never seen Panda Fast Food, which means that this brand has not yet appeared. He had thought about operating, but found that the conditions were lacking and had to give up temporarily. He planned to wait until the panda fast food appeared later before investing. But now he has changed his mind, and the Situ family can provide what he lacks. There are a lot of memories about Panda Fast Food in his mind, so he knows that Panda Fast Food is not difficult to operate. Panda fast food is actually a standardized fake Chinese meal. It uses six kinds of sauces. It is the product of Chinese food localization in the United States. The taste can be summarized as "sweet and sour with spicy". The main dish "Tangerine Peel Chicken" actually accounts for the year-round business. Thirty percent of the amount is entirely based on the McDonald¡¯s and KFC model of operating Chinese food. Since the Situ Family has the strength in the catering field, the talents and industrial chain conditions for opening a Chinese restaurant chain in the United States are already available. As long as a standard model is developed and capital is used, it is enough. As for the small problems encountered in development at that time, I believe that hard-working and smart Chinese can solve it. Huaxia people are able to study the prosperous Huaxia cuisine, simple standardized Chinese food is completely trivial. No one has done this before. It''s nothing more than adhering to the pride of Huaxia''s food culture. "Master, I think the Chinese restaurant chain has a lot to offer. If you pay someone and I pay, I will see if you can build a Chinese restaurant chain brand based on the model of KFC and McDonald''s. Americans are not used to authentic Chinese food, so give them a castrated version. As long as they are willing to pay." As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Situ Boshan''s eyes lit up and he felt it was worth a try. "Mr. Xia, this is a good idea, let''s have a good chat..." ... While chatting with Xia Yu, Situ Boshan asked Situ Nan to call a few chefs from his own restaurant to discuss together. In the next few days, after continuous discussion and research, a complete cooperation plan was released. With capital, Xia Yu will take the lead, and the Situ family will go out of channels and shops, and the Panda Catering Co., Ltd. will be established to operate the Panda fast food Chinese restaurant chain brand, starting with San Francisco. Xia Yu invested 10 million U.S. dollars and held 60% of the shares of Panda Fast Food Company. The Situ family held 40% of the shares, and the Situ family was responsible for operation. The No. 1 Chinese restaurant chain brand that will be popular in the United States in the future has officially appeared!

In order to complete the acquisition within the set time, all acquisition teams have accelerated their work. Therefore, the working atmosphere of Polaris Capital has been affected, and various work efficiency has been affected. Promote. On December 3, an investment result made Xia Yu very happy. The Silicon Valley relational software company, the predecessor of Oracle, once again ended financing. This time Polaris Capital has all eaten up 15% of the shares released by the founder team. Not only that, while ensuring that the original 10% of the equity is not diluted, Polaris Capital also acquired the equity of the original two shareholders. Polaris Capital now holds a 33% stake in the relational software company. In the high-tech field, in addition to relational software companies, Polaris Capital now also holds shares in IBM, Ian Xin, AMD and Intel. Originally, Polaris Capital held 3.01% of the shares in IBM. Even so little, it cost $1.109 million. Later, after receiving Xia Yu¡¯s instructions, Peter Lynch spent another 748 million U.S. dollars to acquire 2% of the shares and increase the shareholding ratio to 5.01%. The fifth largest shareholder. The reason for spending a huge amount of money to increase holdings is that Xia Yu has a lot of money and has no place to spend; the second is to use IBM to expand the influence of Polaris Capital, and the third is naturally because Xia Yu knows IBM''s personal computers. It will be released next year, when the stock price will rise, and it will make a lot of money. As for Yi Anxin, Polaris Capital invested one million U.S. dollars during the angel round and obtained 40% of the equity. But after such a long time, with the rapid expansion of Yi Anxin, one million dollars has long been consumed. In the A round of financing, Polaris Capital once again led the investment. While ensuring that the original equity was not diluted, it took another 8% of the shares released by the founding team and increased its holdings to 48%. . As for the shares of AMD and Intel, Xia Yu previously entrusted Tiger Fund to purchase part of it, and then after Polaris Capital established a branch on Wall Street, Polaris Capital personally came forward to purchase the stock. Among them, it acquired 18.2% of Intel Corporation''s equity at a cost of 377 million US dollars. AMD¡¯s size is much smaller than Intel¡¯s. Polaris Capital has only spent US$103 million to acquire 21.6 percent of the equity from the secondary market and major institutions. In the high-tech field, in addition to these companies that have been named in Xia Yu''s heart, Polaris Capital has also invested in many companies, but they are still in the angel round and the A round stage. Most of the investment has increased in value, but Xia Yu After simply understanding, I don¡¯t pay attention. Among other investment areas, there is an investment that both pleases Xia Yu and regrets him, and that is to increase the shareholding of Wal-Mart. Although Wal-Mart was listed in 1972, the Walton family has too much control over Wal-Mart. Even in later generations, the Walton family holds more than 65 percent of Wal-Mart. But now there is even more. Members of the Walton family hold 69% of the shares. They only released 25% of the shares when they went public in 1972, and then they have cashed out a total of 6%. In the case of no success in acquiring equity directly from the Walton family, Polaris Capital can only fully acquire shares from retail investors and institutions. Fortunately, Wal-Mart has not yet exploded. From its listing in 1972 to this year, its stock price has only doubled, and the market is only more than 300 million US dollars. And Wal-Mart¡¯s stock price often fluctuates and falls, and it is a risky stock in the ratings of major Wall Street institutions. Therefore, when Polaris Capital had a slight premium, it quickly acquired a lot of equity. So far, Polaris Capital has acquired a total of 28.2% of Wal-Mart¡¯s equity at a total cost of over 110 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that the acquisition team of Polaris Capital has done its best to acquire more than nine levels of stocks that are circulated in the market except for the Walton family. Of course, this acquisition process should be relatively long, mainly to reduce costs, and does not arouse the vigilance of the Walton family. In order to make money steadily in the future, and in order not to be jealous in the future, under Xia Yu¡¯s instructions, these shares have been dealt with many times. On the bright side, Polaris Capital holds only 8.5% of the shares and obtained Walmart¡¯s A board of directors is assigned to the board of directors and board of supervisors of Wal-Mart. As for the remaining 19.7% of the equity, all are distributed under the offshore registered company of Polaris Capital. After working for a few days in the company, Xia Yu found time to meet Ronald Reagan and helped Rhodes Saxon. Ronald Reagan gave Xia Yu a positive answer. Rhodes Saxon will at least be one of more than 20 presidential assistants and will carefully consider his position arrangement. On December 12th, Apple officially listed its shares. Under the close watch of the major Wall Street giants, Polaris Capital, after all, failed to squeeze into the ranks of Apple''s underwriters. Since he couldn''t get it, Xia Yu simply asked the company to temporarily give up its investment in Apple. But giving up does not mean that Xia Yu is not paying attention. On this day, Apple issued 4.6 million shares at an issue price of US$22 per share. At the close of the first day, the stock price was fixed at US$29 per share, a 30% increase. 1.8, Apple''s market value stayed at $1.778 billion. On this day, Apple executives produced four billionaires and forty-three millionaires. Three more days have passed since the busy schedule, which is December 15th. The electoral colleges of the states went to the capitals of the states to vote in the presidential elections. The results of the voting were exactly the same as the results calculated on November 4. No one was so stupid that they would offend the incoming President in this situation. After the number of votes is determined this means that Ronald Reagan''s appointment is a certainty, and no one can reverse it. Seeing that there was only more than a month before the presidential inauguration on January 20, Ronald Reagan began to divide the cake in the true sense. On the one hand, he determined the personnel arrangements of the White House, and on the other hand, he found the Republican leader Benjamin Carr. , Began to discuss and determine the candidates for each department of the cabinet. In the next more than a month, Ronald Reagan is destined to be too busy. Fortunately, Xia Yu has supported Rhodes Saxon a few days in advance, and there is no big problem. On this same day, after two months and twenty days, Peter Lynch finally brought fruitful results to Xia Yu. PS: Excessively, fill in many pits by the way, there is a specific concept, there is an update today, by the way, please ask for a vote, thank you Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife!

These are all the materials from Wells Fargo." "All the shares have been acquired at a cost of 1.383 billion US dollars." In the office of the chairman of Polaris Capital, Peter Lynch solemnly pushed the stack of documents in front of Xia Yu and said. "Good job!" Xia Yu smiled and praised, then picked up the materials and looked at it carefully, feeling deeply in his heart. In the past life, the fourth largest bank in the United States, Wells Fargo, which was once the largest bank in the world before the scandal, was acquired by him. The cost is only less than 1.4 billion US dollars! Although the future growth of him will require continuous mergers and acquisitions like a greedy snake, and it will also cost a lot of money, but no matter how money is paid, it will definitely not need hundreds of billions of dollars in future market value. After feeling a little, Xia Yu concentrated and immersed himself in the information. There are many equity transaction contracts, from many shareholders, the largest one is with a California consortium, and the purchase price of a single share is the highest. A total of 43% of the equity cost 630 million U.S. dollars. As for the equity of other minority shareholders, the purchase price is relatively low. More or less, Xia Yu doesn''t care, it''s nothing more than a gap of hundreds of millions of dollars. For him, who is now rich in funds, it is like that. As long as he buys Wells Fargo, he will make a lot of money! As for equity, Peter Lynch made offshore processing during the acquisition. At present, Wells Fargo is a 51% subsidiary of Polaris Capital, and the remaining 49% of the equity is all Distributed to other offshore shell companies. Fifty-one percent is enough to swear sovereignty to the outside world. After laying down the materials, Xia Yu asked Peter Lynch: "Peter, has the takeover of Wells Fargo Bank completed now? What is the current situation of the bank?" Peter Lynch said: "BOSS, now I have taken over Wells Fargo Bank, but because the company changed ownership and the bank president is about to leave, there are some concerns within Wells Fargo Bank." "So now it is necessary to find a suitable president for Wells Fargo Bank as soon as possible. I suggest promoting capable executives from within the bank." Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked, "You know better about Wells Fargo''s personnel. Do you have a suitable candidate?" Peter Lynch was very safe and prepared for this, so he immediately said: "There are still several senior executives in Wells Fargo who are direct members of the California consortium, but many of them are internally trained talents and professional managers. ." "One of them is very suitable, and that is the current vice president and chief financial officer Yalman Simmons. He has been working for Wells Fargo Bank since graduating from university. He has been at the bottom for 31 years. To this position now." "I have brought his information." After speaking, Peter Lynch opened the briefcase again, took out a thinner document from it and presented it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took a closer look after taking it. Ten minutes later, Xia Yu read Alman Simmons''s information and affirmed Peter Lynch''s recommendation in his heart. This Arman Simmons is indeed an elite talent, and he is also one of the pillars of Wells Fargo. His thirty-one years of work experience has made him the person who knows Wells Fargo the best, and his personality is also strong. It''s a good fit to take over as president of Wells Fargo Bank. "Where is he now?" Xia Yu put down the information and asked Peter Lynch. The latter immediately replied: "It is now at the San Francisco headquarters. Because of the company''s change of ownership, none of the executives of Wells Fargo have gone on business." Xia Yu nodded and said, "If this is the case, don''t waste time. Go and make arrangements. I will go with you this afternoon to complete the personnel transfer." "Ok!" After speaking, Peter Lynch exited the office. At 2:30 in the afternoon, Wells Fargo held a staff meeting. Xia Yu sat in the middle of the rostrum, Peter Lynch was the host, and all the executives at the headquarters attended the meeting. At the meeting, Peter Lynch first thanked the current president Mitch Sardin for his dedication, and then announced the decision of the parent company and the Wells Fargo Board of Directors to remove Mitch Sardin from the post of president, and vice president Yarman Simmons took over as president. A post. As Xia Yu expected, after Alman Simmons took office, he received warm applause. It wasn''t until 4:20 in the afternoon that the staff meeting officially ended. Xia Yu clearly felt that the atmosphere of the bank was less solemn and more relaxed. After the workers'' meeting, Alman Simmons came to the chairman''s office and met Xia Yu and Peter Lynch. After making a few simple jokes and letting Alman Simmons relax his mind, Xia Yu started talking about business. "Alman, although you have just taken office, you have worked at Wells Fargo Bank for 31 years after all. I hope you can take over all the work of Mitch Sardin as soon as possible and ensure the normal operation of the company." Alman Simmons nodded immediately and resolutely assured: "BOSS, I will strive to complete the handover within one week, and will not cause problems for the company." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then said: "There are still some things you have to do as soon as possible after the handover. The first one is personnel. You should know that some of the executives are sent by the California consortium, and some are acquisitions. When the accounting firm has found out the worms of the company that have not yet been announced, these people must be resolutely cleared out, and the list will be given to you by Peter Lynch, and you will check for errors or omissions." "For these people''s positions, you have to find suitable candidates to succeed. It is best to be promoted internally by the bank. If you really can''t find a suitable one, report to Peter Lynch in advance, and he will contact the headhunting company to hunt for employment." Aalman Simmons felt the tremendous pressure, but he also felt the resolute attitude of the boss Xia Yu. He made it clear that he wanted to completely wash away the color of the California consortium and involved the relationship between the consortiums. He did not understand or Convenient to express his position, the only thing he can do is to execute the orders of the new boss perfectly. So he nodded solemnly and said, "Boss, I will make all preparations, please rest assured!" Xia Yu went on to say: "The above are the personnel arrangements. Next, I will talk about Fang''s development direction for Wells Fargo." "Wells Fargo''s original development investment philosophy and model are very good and do not need to be changed, but in terms of volume, it is still small. It is currently only a western regional bank." "Polaris Capital needs a large bank covering the entire United States, so the main theme of the next few years is expansion." "The parent company will inject one billion US dollars into Wells Fargo Bank for mergers and acquisitions. You need to find suitable small and medium-sized banks as targets for mergers and acquisitions. "At present, with the nationwide inflation, the elites of all walks of life have been affected. The banking industry has been greatly affected. Now many banks have a hard time. There will definitely be a large number of bank failures in the next few years, even if they do not. Banks will also struggle to operate." "This is the most suitable opportunity to expand against the trend." "As long as you can fully control it, you can continue the merger, even if it is the merger of large banks, the funds do not need you to consider!" This kind of domineering words made Aalman Simmons pleasantly surprised, and said quickly: "BOSS, I will make a secret expansion plan as soon as possible." "Ok!" "In addition, there are many companies under Polaris Capital. These companies will be customers of Wells Fargo. You should communicate with President Peter Lynch. You can discuss and decide on the specifics." "Peter, I need you to work harder then." "The billion-dollar funds will be injected into Polaris Capital in a few days. Then you will transfer it to Wells Fargo." "Ok, this is my duty." Peter Lynch responded and smiled at Alman Simmons. Arranged for Wells Fargo Bank, almost finished get off work, Xia Yu went home directly. The next day, Xia Yu saw a piece of news. The Taiwan authorities announced the construction of Taiwan¡¯s first science and technology park in Hsinchu County, with a planned area of ??up to 21 square kilometers. The slogan was loudly shouted, declaring that it would build the "Silicon Valley of Taiwan." As soon as the Hsinchu Science Park was established, the Taiwanese authorities announced a series of preferential policies to encourage Taiwanese and overseas capital to start businesses in the park. After pondering for a long time, Xia Yu came to Polaris Capital again to find Peter Lynch, who was busy, and ordered him to select suitable personnel to go to the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan Province to establish the Taiwan branch of Polaris Capital. The main task of the branch is to invest in high-quality and potential enterprises in Taiwan Province and the future Hsinchu Science Park, and then complete capital penetration into Taiwan Province. Xia Yu knows that although Taiwan Province is small, there are still many good things in this future leader of the Four Little Dragons. There are nine Fortune 500 companies in future generations, which are definitely worth investing or controlling. However, Xia Yu also knows that since the Hsinchu Science Park has just been established, there can be no high-quality companies. Polaris Capital should be the first large multinational company to settle in, and it will definitely be highly valued by the Taiwan authorities. In order to prevent the branch from finding a direction, Xia Yu also gave Peter Lynch some advice and asked him to arrange for someone to invest in a company called Hon Hai. This company Xia Yu had known for a long time that it had been established in 1974, and it was the parent company of the famous Foxconn in later generations. However, because of the complicated situation in Taiwan, Xia Yu did not find an opportunity to invest, nor did he contact Boss Guo. But now it''s different It is absolutely appropriate for Polaris Capital to go. Even if the Taiwan authorities know about Xia Yu''s relationship with Polaris Capital, they dare not take any action. After all, Polaris Capital is also a large American company. If there is really something that doesn¡¯t look long and finds trouble with Polaris Capital on the basis of Xia Yu, without Xia Yu coming forward at all, Peter Lynch will naturally ask the US government to come forward and put pressure, and the effect is definitely the best. Although there is the meaning of pulling American tiger skins, there is no way. Who makes Taiwan Province special? In this period of time, except for pulling American tiger skins, other methods are not safe. At that time, no matter how uncomfortable the Taiwan Provincial authorities or some people inside, they will have to pinch their noses and squeeze their smiles to serve Polaris Capital.

Around 9:30 p.m., at the gate of Situ''s house in China Street, San Francisco, Xia Yu said with a smile to Situ and his son. On the way to the door, three black Rolls-Royces have been parked, and many strong black bodyguards are guarding the surroundings. The rear door of the middle car has been opened, and Li Wuming is guarding the door. Tonight, Xia Yu came to Situ''s house again for a banquet. In addition to the intention to deepen his feelings, he mainly discussed the cooperation between the two parties and further deepened the cooperation on the basis of the original. It can be said that there are still a lot of results tonight. "Mr. Xia, then I won''t send it. I will definitely go to your place next time." "I wish you a smooth journey!" "Thank you, you guys have to rest early." "Goodbye!" After speaking, Xia Yu got in the car, and then the other bodyguards got in the car one by one, the car started and disappeared into the night. After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Xia Yu still felt a little drunk. Besides, the air-conditioning in the car in winter was not only comfortable but also a little dull. Xia Yu shook down some glasses, and the freezing wind blew on his face. He couldn''t help but wake up a little from the wine. At this moment, he saw a black car overtaking, which was quite fast. He swept it at will and recognized it was the Phantom of Rolls-Royce, which was the same style as his three cars. Although its own products are very popular in Europe, they have only been on sale for less than a year. Although the production line has been expanded, the output is still insufficient. Because he has been in the United States for so long, he rarely sees his own car. Seeing one suddenly now, Xia Yu feels a little happy. Looking at the spotted panthers, it seems that Rolls-Royce Motor Company is getting better and better. glanced around at random and found that the license plate was still a bit familiar, but it was dark at night and the car had been driving at high speed, so Xia Yu did not see it clearly. "The speed should be over one hundred and thirty, what is so urgent?" Xia Yu made a judgment and whispered softly, then saw the Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly turned to the right and disappeared from his sight. After blowing the air for a long time, I also felt that my face was a little bit frozen. Xia Yu rolled up the car window, took out a notebook and pen from the car bag, opened it and began to review and sort out the day work. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Although Xia Yu thinks he has a good memory, people always have limited thinking. It is necessary to check the deficiencies and make up for leaks three times a day, or reviewing things during the day. This habit made him remember many fleeting inspirations, which helped him a lot. I don¡¯t know how long I¡¯ve been walking, and suddenly there is a crisp sound, and the window next to Xia Yu shatters like a spider web, but fortunately, Xia Yu¡¯s cars are specially made bulletproof cars, and the glass is naturally the most used. Good military bulletproof glass is still firmly inlaid on the car door after the glass is broken. At the moment the glass shattered, Li Wuming sitting next to Xia Yu immediately pulled Xia Yu down, and then took out a gun to warn him. The driver and the co-pilot''s bodyguard of the same car also took out their weapons to guard, and at the same time started calling the vehicles in front and behind them with the walkie-talkie. "There is an attack, step up vigilance!" "There is an obstacle in the road ahead and it is impossible to pass!" The voice of the bodyguard of the first car came immediately from the walkie-talkie. "Park and cover, clear the obstacles after destroying the enemy!" The bodyguard captain sitting in the co-pilot of Xia Yu was not in danger, and immediately commanded the subordinates of the two cars before and after to take action. "Boss, don''t worry, judging by the location of the gunfire, the number of enemies is small, there are six or seven people, Blake can handle it!" Li Wuming who protected Xia Yu whispered in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu did not speak, but his eyes in the dark were extremely cold, his drunkenness had long since dissipated, and his brain started to work quickly. He has been in the United States for so long, and he has been going smoothly. It was the first time he was shot at a road threatening his life. If it weren''t for all of his cars were bullet-proof and modified, and he took a team of bodyguards when he went out, this time he might be dead. However, Xia Yu did not panic. He believed that the abilities of his bodyguards were all elites of Blackwater International. Among them, the bodyguard captain Blake Franklin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was a retired major of the SEALs, and he was properly young and powerful. Elite. "Blake, try to catch one and ask to be clear about the situation. I want to know who dares to kill me!" Xia Yu said coldly. "Yes!" Black Franklin replied decisively, and then continued to give orders. Even though he was in the car, Xia Yu still heard a series of gunshots, mixed with painful wailing. Not long after the gunfire stopped, Xia Yu heard other people''s reports through the voice of Blake Flinklin''s walkie-talkie. One person was caught and stuffed into the trunk, and the obstacle was cleared. Immediately after the three cars started up again, they quickly disappeared into the night. The first time he went back, Xia Yu called his lawyer, told him briefly about the situation, and then asked him to come home quickly. Although it is night, after all, there has been a gun battle. Even though the American police are slow to dispatch, they will definitely find him in an hour and a half or an hour later. He doesn''t want to negotiate with these policemen. This kind of thing is still left to him. A lawyer is more suitable. Soon after Xia Yu was attacked, Situ Boshan, who was about to fall asleep, received an urgent report from his subordinates. When it was learned that three Rolls-Royce cars had been attacked, Situ Boshan''s face changed drastically. Fortunately, I learned that the three Rolls-Royce cars would leave soon, leaving six black people on the ground nearby. Situ Boshan paced back and forth anxiously at home, his face became very ugly, and he blamed himself. He invited Xia Yu to come home tonight. He was attacked on the way back, and he was suspicious anyway. But his family knew about his own affairs, he had long been determined to cooperate with Xia Yu, and he never did anything like this. But I know it¡¯s useless. The key is to prove his innocence to Xia Yu, otherwise the two will eventually leave scars that cannot be healed. This is definitely for him who is planning to use Xia Yu¡¯s cooperation to revitalize the Situ family. It was a huge blow. "No, I have to go to his house overnight!" "To avoid misunderstanding, please make a call to communicate in advance." Thinking about it, Situ Boshan immediately walked to the phone and dialed the number at Xia Yu''s home. No one answered for five or six minutes. Just when Situ Boshan became more uneasy, the call was finally connected. It was Xia Yu''s bodyguard. After Situ Boshan confirmed his identity, Xia Yu transferred. Situ Boshan immediately informed what he had learned, and then asked Xia Yu with concern, and then insisted on coming. After hanging up the phone, the vehicle and bodyguards were already in place. After Situ Boshan spoke to his family, he immediately drove to Xia Yu''s house. Xia Yu''s home. Xia Yu sat on the sofa blankly and looked at Blake Franklin and Li Wuming who were waiting beside him. Then he fixed his eyes on the former and asked: "Blake, let them ask the answer as soon as possible, before the police arrive. I need results." "Yes!" Blake Franklin immediately responded, thinking about it and going to handle it himself. After Blake Franklin left, Li Wuming said: "Boss, could this be done by the Situ family?" Xia Yu thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It shouldn''t be. The phone call was made by Situ Boshan. He will come later. Most of his suspicions can be washed away, and he has no motivation to do this. " "But Situ Boshan''s retreat is not ruled out." "Wait for Black''s result." After speaking, Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Time goes by every minute. The lawyer of Xia Yu arrived the fastest. After he arrived, he asked Li Wuming and others about the details, and prepared for the defense after the police arrived. Just after the lawyer arrived, Blake Franklin returned to Xia Yu, reporting to Xia Yuhui with a strange expression: "Boss, there is a result." "Say!" Xia Yu opened his eyes, saw Blake Franklin''s awkward expression, frowned slightly, and said concisely. Black Franklin said immediately: "The person who attacked us tonight was from an organization called ''13 Street'' in the South District of San Francisco. This person is the bottom thug, and their little boss has been killed by us." "I have asked about the situation of the ''13 Streets'' organization, but he didn''t know much about the attack tonight. He just said that after receiving an order, there will be a license plate with the end number 667 at the location where we were attacked tonight The black Rolls-Royce car passed by. Their task was to kill a Chinese in the car. He didn''t know the target name and purpose." Xia Yu was not satisfied with this result, but he also expressed understanding and did not blame Blake Franklin. He also knows that the bottom personnel of many organizations do not know the situation, and some actions are relatively confidential. Generally, the bottom personnel only know a little information. For example, if the goal of an action is 10 million U.S. dollars, then it is difficult to guarantee that the person in the action will be tempted, and after success, they will escape with the money. But if the target is a few boxes, then as long as the small boss is there, the bottom operatives will not dare to open the box to see if they are curious. When the benefits are divided, the bottom personnel may be casually dismissed by some benefits. "Black Rolls Royce with license plate number 667?" Xia Yu chewed on these words, and suddenly the black Rolls Royce car he encountered before the attack came to mind. If the car didn''t turn right, and it took the same road as him, then it should be the car instead of him. But the tail number of his car is indeed 667, but the complete license plate number is PET667. only has the back three digits, but he can¡¯t specify his car. Before, he felt that the license plate of the car that overtook him was a bit familiar, and it seemed to have the numbers 6 and 7, but because he didn''t see it clearly, he wasn''t sure if it was 667. After all, it almost disappeared. Xia Yu didn''t dare to take a fluke, he was still uneasy if he didn''t figure it out. And no matter what, he was frightened, this matter must have a result! Just then, the doorbell rang, and after the reimbursement report outside the door, it was learned that Situ Boshan had come. "Mr. Xia, how are you? Are you okay?" Situ Boshan asked with concern as soon as he came in. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Master, I''m fine, my life is hard, and some little ones can''t even kill me." "I''m really sorry that you have to take a trip so late." "Please sit down!" "Yes, you were attacked as soon as you came out of my house. If I didn''t invite you to my house tonight, you would not be in danger." "Fortunately, your lucky person has a natural appearance, otherwise I will be to blame!" Situ Boshan still said with a self-blaming expression after sitting down. Xia Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Master, I said it''s okay, you don''t need to care about it all the time." "This can''t work!" "Mr. Xia, I have been asked to investigate before I came here. Once the situation is discovered, I will tell you as soon as possible, and this matter will definitely give you an explanation!" Xia Yu just wanted to say no, suddenly his ears trembled, and he heard police sirens coming from far and near. He smiled and said, "Don''t talk about it, the police are here." After a while, many police officers and Xia Yu''s bodyguards came in. Maybe it is because he knows that Xia Yu is a rich man with great energy, so the police''s attitude is not tough. After Xia Yu simply answered a few questions, he let his lawyer be responsible for all, and the police who came have no objection. The general rich are They have long been used to doing this. Because there were other police investigating the scene of the incident and nearby witnesses, they also knew that Xia Yu belonged to the victim. Regardless of whether there was any grievances, it is certain that Xia Yu and others responded passively after the attack. Therefore, for the result of Xia Yu¡¯s bodyguards killing others, the police will not hold them accountable, and passive counterattacks are permitted by law. Free America, shootout every day! They are all used to it! Then, Blake Franklin and the others handed the black guy he brought back to the police, and then Xia Yu¡¯s lawyer followed the police car and left with the police. After the police left, Situ Boshan once again brought up the unfinished topic. "Mr. Xia, it''s getting late. I don''t worry if you are okay. I will go back first. I will try my best to investigate this matter and give you an explanation! Situ Boshan said firmly. But Xia Yu squinted his eyes and shook his head, and said in an undoubted tone: "Master, don''t bother you to do it all the time Since I found my head for trouble, I will be responsible for this." "Huh, if the tiger doesn''t show his might, I really treat me as a sick cat!" Hearing Xia Yu''s refusal, Situ Boshan opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but Xia Yu had already told Blake Franklin: "Notify Kevin Occasie and let him arrange someone to come. It''s time to check the results! " "Yes!" Blake Franklin immediately responded with a serious expression, and then quickly stepped back, intending to contact Blackwater International General Manager Kevin Occasi through the channel. Situ Boshan heard Xia Yu''s meaning, his face changed a little. He knew that Xia Yu was powerful in Xiangjiang, but he didn''t know that Xia Yu also had force in the United States. Since Xia Yu has the confidence to deal with it by himself, then he will watch it so that he can learn more about Xia Yu''s strength. Of course, if Xia Yu can''t handle it, it''s not too late for him to make a move. Thinking of this, Situ Boshan said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, since you have a plan, then I won''t say more. As long as you have something useful, you must call me." Xia Yu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, if that time comes, I will definitely not be polite to you!" then said a few more words again, Situ Boshan bid farewell, Xia Yu sent him out the door and watched his convoy leave. PS: There is one more update today. I ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! It happens to be Chapter 911, haha latest website: v3 Chapter 912: Transcript of Blackwater International The headquarters of Blackwater International is in California. When Kevin Occasi received a call from Blake Franklin, he used his intelligence network to collect intelligence on the 13th Street organization in the Southern District of San Francisco. Kevin Okasi used the green U.S. dollars to buy five UH-60 general-purpose helicopters for Blackwater International through special channels, which is the famous Black Hawk helicopter. But these helicopters are not equipped with weapons. But even so, at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, the Black Hawk helicopter is a super weapon for short- and medium-distance driving. When Kevin Okasi arrived at Blackwater International¡¯s San Francisco base, it was only 11:30 in the evening. And he has already devised a preliminary plan of action during his time in the air. After ¡¡¡¡ landed, the subordinates who had been waiting immediately handed the information collected from the "13th Street" organization to Kevin Occasi, who immediately changed to a car and rushed to Xia Yu''s home. Not long after, Xia Yu met Kevin Ocashi, who was in the dust. "Kevin, here you are, sit down!" "Good boss!" After sitting down, Kevin Okasi didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately passed the information in his hand to Xia Yu. At the same time, he reported in his mouth: ¡°Boss, this 13th Street organization is a small organization in the Southern District of San Francisco. There are more than two hundred people, and the leader is Tony Jack..." Xia Yu is not interested in the organization that is about to be killed. He just looked at it casually, closed the file, threw it on the table, and said indifferently to Kevin Occas: "Kevin, these are not important, you just answer me, when can you deal with it? Okay, does Blackwater International, which I spent a lot of money to build, have this ability?" Looking at this young boss, Kevin Okasi felt the murderous intent in his tone and nodded decisively and promised: "Boss, please rest assured, Blackwater International will not let you down!" Xia Yu''s face was a little slow, and he nodded and said: "Very well, let this opportunity to test your strength." "I don''t want this Tony Jack to see the San Francisco sun. You can investigate other situations for me!" "Yes!" Kevin Occasie replied outrageously, picking up the information and leaving Xia Yu''s villa without any muddle, and rushed to the base of Blackwater International in San Francisco. By this time, his manpower should be almost ready. After Kevin Occasie left, Xia Yu stretched his waist and looked at Li Wuming, who had been sitting next to him on another sofa, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, do you think Kevin How far can Okasi accomplish it?" Li Wuming thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don''t know, but he is a retired SEAL elite, and it cost you so much money. If you can''t solve the problem, it would be too useless." "I think what he should think about is how to wash our relationship perfectly." Xia Yu laughed and ended this topic that could not have an answer tonight: "It''s so late, go to bed first, there will be results tomorrow morning." ¡­¡­ San Francisco, as the financial center of the western United States and the second largest port on the Pacific coast after Los Angeles, is the most densely populated city in the western United States. San Francisco is undoubtedly the bustling capital, but this is only the most visible surface. Under the glamorous coat of San Francisco, countless evils are hidden, and the imaginable and unimaginable are performed in the dark corners here every day. The free-flowing firearms gave these people in the black zone uncontrollable ability. With a weapon in his body, he will kill himself, nothing more! Tony Jack, as the leader of an organization of more than two hundred people, naturally enjoys the best life, green dollars and beautiful women. This evening, after Tony Jack indulged in the nightclub, he returned to the heavily guarded home with a few glamorous girls to continue a new round of hives. In this age without Viagra, Tony Jack exercises every day, and can''t resist the repeated squeeze of several women. Just when he fell asleep with a feeling of awesome power, outside his villa, he quietly touched a few figures. ¡­¡­ I don''t know how long it took, and the figure who touched in quietly left, but it seemed that there was a coma. At about three in the morning, another Mexican organization in the southern district of San Francisco, the enemy of the "13th Street", the Mexican Eagle, launched an offensive against it. The fighting in the night was extremely fierce, far away. The residents can hear the sound. Just as the Mexican organization was about to win, a large number of FBI officers suddenly rushed into the battlefield and arrested everyone. The next morning, Xia Yu ate breakfast and looked at the "San Francisco Chronicle" on the desktop. In the middle of the front page was a photo. Rows of police officers were holding criminals. The news reported the FBI. The fruitful results of the early morning action. He looked at Kevin Occasie, who was sitting on the sofa calmly and waiting, with a smile on his lips. Early in the morning, Kevin Occasi brought this newspaper to him. Although Kevin Occasi didn¡¯t say anything, everything was obvious. This is his masterpiece. Became the leader of "13th Street" in less than one night, and at the same time promoted the merger of the two organizations, and also involved the FBI. This requires extremely high layout capabilities and strong execution. Kevin Okasi¡¯s answer sheet made Xia Yu very satisfied. "Kevin, Blackwater International did not disappoint me. It turns out that you are very suitable to lead it." Xia Yu took a sip of milk, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, then came to the sofa and sat down. "Tell me, why did ''13 Street'' attack me?" Xia Yu found a comfortable sitting position, and then asked Kevin Occasi. Unexpectedly, Kevin Okasi''s expression was a little strange, and when Xia Yu raised his brow, he began to talk. "Boss, it was an accident that you were attacked last night. ''13 Street'' got the wrong target." Xia Yu had this speculation last night, when he heard Kevin Occasie say this, he felt speechless. This accident is indeed ¡®surprise¡¯! This accident almost killed him. I didn''t feel much last night. I came together this morning and remembered that the bullet hit a dozen centimeters of glass in his right ear. Instead, he felt a lingering feeling. And he asked Kevin Occasi to come over overnight and planned such a big operation, but it turned out to be an accident! If he hadn''t rolled up the car window, the bullet would have directly hit his head, wouldn''t he have to die unjustly! After calming down a bit, Xia Yu asked, "Let¡¯s talk about it, what is the complete situation." Kevin Okasi said immediately: "Last night, I learned from Tony Jack that there was a Chinese man who paid US$5 million to deal with a pair of Chinese father and son. The son of the father and son was named Lin Zeyu. They were kidnapped and detained in the basement of Tony Jack¡¯s villa, and forced him to sign several equity transfer contracts." "And ''13 Street'' used Lin Zeyu''s life as a threat and asked his father Lin Dexiang to use his 28% equity in East West Bank as a bargaining chip to redeem the life of his son Lin Zeyu." "It''s just that Lin Dexiang didn''t give it. In the end, Tony Jack killed Lin Dexiang at the request of the employer, intending to let Lin Zeyu inherit Lin Dexiang''s equity..." "This is the contract we got from Tony Jack''s safe including Lin Zeyu''s 23% equity interest in East West Bank, as well as forged inheritance agreements and property transfers. protocol." After finishing speaking, Kevin Occasi took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Xia Yu. Xia Yu unexpectedly took it, and browsed with interest. "It turned out to be East West Bank, which is a bit surprised...but I didn''t expect that there should be such insider inside, gangsters, using black means to seize property, hehe..." Xia Yu secretly said in his heart. Obviously, it must be the behind-the-scenes master who entrusted to ''13 Street'' after several times unable to obtain Lin Dexiang¡¯s equity, he chose to take the risk and use more troublesome tactics to hope that Lin Dexiang died unexpectedly and the inheritance was inherited by Lin Zeyu. , And then think of a way to take over. It''s a pity that they didn''t expect that Lin Dexiang suddenly turned a corner on the way home, and it happened that Xia Yu was on the way, so Xia Yu won the prize. "Boss, the Lin Zeyu who was brought back by us is still with us, and we have collected information about his father Lin Dexiang. What do you think should be done?" Kevin Okasi threw the problem to Xia Yu. Glancing at these agreements in his hand, Xia Yu''s eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said faintly: "Bring that Lin Zeyu here and inform his father Lin Dexiang." PS: Working overtime is late, the update of the gift is late, please recommend a monthly pass! v3 Chapter 913: Please accept it |¡¡|¡¡¡¡->¡¡-> Latest website: As a business elite, reading the latest news every day is the most basic operation. Early in the morning, Lin Texiang habitually took out a lot of subscribed newspapers from the mailbox at home, but when he saw the headlines of the San Francisco Chronicle, he was struck by lightning. He knew that his son Lin Zeyu was in the hands of "13th Street", but because he was not sure where his son was hidden, and was afraid of angering the "13th Street" organization, he didn''t dare to call the police. He could only think of other ways. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t expect that he hadn¡¯t rescued his son yet. He actually saw the news of the Mexican organization "Mexico Eagle" and "13 Streets" in the newspaper. He didn¡¯t know if his son had an accident, and he also hoped The FBI rescued his son. When he was anxious and anxious about going to the FBI in San Francisco to inquire about the situation, a white man came to his house and took the watch he gave to his son Lin Zeyu on his 18th birthday to inform him that his son had been rescued. , But he needs to follow along. Lin Dexiang, who was worried about the murder of his son, suddenly learned the news, as if a drowning man had grabbed a straw for life, regardless of his own safety, resolutely decided to follow along. "Are you there? Where are you taking me?" In the car, Lin Dexiang held his son''s watch tightly, and asked the indifferent bodyguard beside him nervously. I don¡¯t know how many times he has asked this kind of question along the way. "Shut up, it''s coming soon!" angrily rebuked Lin Dexiang decisively and could only record the landmarks along the road through the car window glass. When watching the car drive into the wealthy area of ??Atherton in the South Bay of San Francisco, Lin Dexiang''s expectation grew stronger and stronger. The rich people live in this wealthy district, and the black forces generally can¡¯t get in. Does this mean that his son is really fine? ¡­¡­ "Boss, people are at the door!" "Bring in!" After Xia Yu, who was sitting on the sofa watching the TV, heard Blake Franklin''s report, he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV and said. After a while, Lin Dexiang was sent in by two bodyguards. When he saw Xia Yu sitting on the sofa, the yellow race, Lin Dexiang breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to walk quickly, but was stopped by the bodyguard. As a last resort, Lin Dexiang could only ask anxiously: "This gentleman, where is my son?" Xia Yu waved his hand and signaled that the bodyguard should not stop him, then smiled and said to Lin Dexiang: "Mr. Lin, you are welcome. You sit down and say, your son will be here later." Xia Yu again ordered Kevin Occasie: "Kevin, let someone bring Master Lin." "Good boss!" Looking at the gaze, Lin Dexiang, who is a little stiff, smiled warmly and said: "Mr. Lin, you don''t need to be nervous, your son is okay, we are compatriots, so don''t worry about me!" Xia Yu¡¯s words were very sincere, and the smiles of him and Xi made Lin Dexiang feel a little more at ease. He quickly squeezed out a smile and thanked: "Mr., thank you for saving my son. I will remember your great kindness. Heart, I will repay you for your life-saving grace!" Xia Yu did not refuse, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Lin, get to know me first, my last name is Xia!" "Hello Mr. Xia, nice to meet you!" ¡­¡­ After a few casual chats, seeing Lin Dexiang absent-minded, most of his eyes focused outside the door, Xia Yu also temporarily lost the interest in chatting. After a while, a string of footsteps came from outside, and then Kevin Okasi walked in with a bruised Chinese youth on his face. "Ayu, Dad finally saw you, how are you?" Lin Dexiang stood up abruptly, ran over excitedly, and shouted excitedly. "Dad!" Seeing his father, Lin Zeyu was also very excited and embraced Lin Dexiang and wept. What a touching picture of father and son reuniting. It''s just that Xia Yu''s attention is not here, his eyes are fixed on Lin Zeyu''s face, he feels that Lin Zeyu is familiar. But thinking about it carefully, he can''t remember where he has seen Lin Zeyu. It seems that he has never interacted with him. "Is it the wrong person?" Xia Yu thought uncertainly. "Just forget it if you don''t think of it, it should be where you had a fate, but it''s a big deal to ask for confirmation later." For a long time, Lin Dexiang, Lin Zeyu and his son barely calmed down. Lin Dexiang also learned the true story from his son, and confirmed that his son was indeed rescued by these people in front of him, and he has not been abused since last night. "A Yu, kowtow to Mr. Xia!" Lin Dexiang pulled Lin Zeyu and said that he wanted father and son to kneel together. Xia Yu frowned, and immediately said, "No need to do that!" Also, Kevin Occasi and others also immediately lived there. The tremendous strength made the father and son unable to kneel down. "Mr. Lin, your son has been kidnapped for so many days, and his body is a little weak. You should take him to sit down. I have something to tell you." After Lin Dexiang thanked him, he took his son and sat opposite Xia Yu obediently, feeling a little nervous, not knowing what Xia Yu wanted to say to him. "Mr. Lin, do you know that we are very destined!" The first sentence of Xia Yu made Lin Dexiang bewildered, not knowing what Xia Yu meant. Xia Yu''s next sentence solved his doubts: "Your car is a new-generation Phantom of Rolls-Royce, and mine is too. The last three digits of your license plate is 667, and mine is also 667." Lin Dexiang smiled carefully and answered: "Yes, this is indeed predestined!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and continued: "And when we passed Davis Road past nine o''clock last night, we also met. At that time, your car drove more than a hundred yards and it overtook my car. Do you remember? " Lin Dexiang suddenly said, "I remember, those three black Rolls Royce cars are yours?" Xia Yu nodded and said softly: "Yes!" "I was still wondering who drove so fast so late, and then I saw you turn right in a blink of an eye." Lin Dexiang didn¡¯t know what Xia Yu said about this, so he answered truthfully: ¡°Yes, I originally wanted to go home, and then when I remembered that there was something left, I planned to take a detour back to get something.¡± "Then you are fortune and life!" Xia Yu exclaimed lightly. Lin Dexiang was puzzled again, feeling a little tired from talking to Xia Yu, but had to maintain a good attitude, and asked: "Mr. Xia, what does this mean?" Xia Yu looked at Lin Dexiang with an inexplicable smile on his face. He saw him inexplicably, and heard Xia Yu say something that shocked him: "Mr. Lin, do you know it, it''s almost at the intersection where you turned right? Walking another kilometer, I was ambushed and the bullet hit the glass near my ear. If it weren¡¯t for my car¡¯s bulletproof glass, then I wouldn¡¯t be able to rescue your son, and I wouldn¡¯t be sitting here now. Chatted with you." "This, this, this..." Lin Dexiang was speechless for a while, feeling a mess in his mind, as if he had thought of the key, but he did not seem to grasp the logic. At this time, Xia Yu stopped going around, and continued: "I thought it was someone who wanted my life, so I spent a lot of time finding the leader of ''13th Street'' to understand the situation. By the way, I found your son in the basement. I thought it turned out to be an oolong, what they want is your life, but I did it for you!" "It''s just that this pot is a bit big, it almost crushes me!" Hearing this, Lin Dexiang finally understood, and he also knew what Xia Yu meant when he said that he had a good luck with him. Now that he thinks about it, he feels embarrassed, and his face is burnt. This ¡®fate¡¯ is terrible. It was Xia Yu who had given him a disaster. If he hadn¡¯t suddenly gone back to fetch things, then the car without bulletproof glass would definitely not be able to stop the bullet, and he would definitely be dead. If it wasn''t for Xia Yu''s car equipped with bulletproof glass and strong enough, Xia Yu would die. So it can be considered that he harmed Xia Yu. Xia Yu escaped the disaster entirely by his own strength, and he would definitely die unjustly if he was replaced by someone else. Not only that, Xia Yu also eliminated the "13 Street" organization for him, relieved his crisis, and rescued his son. This series of kindness has gone so big that he doesn''t even know what to do! Lin Dexiang took a deep breath, looked straight at Xia Yu, and solemnly said: "Mr. Xia, my father and son owe you, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!" Lin Dexiang¡¯s statement was exactly what Xia Yu wanted. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Don''t worry, you can take a look at some things first." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Kevin Occasi. The latter immediately passed the documents obtained by the "13th Street" organization to the past. Lin Zeyu, who had been silent for a long time, changed his expression and his expression became very complicated. He clearly recognized the documents he had signed under the torture at a glance. The inhuman treatment he had suffered reappeared in his mind and he was beaten all over. A stimulating spirit. Xia Yu immediately explained: "These documents, your son knows the situation, so let him tell you." Lin Zeyu immediately said to his father Lin Dexiang: "Dad, these files are..." With Lin Zeyu''s constant recounting Lin Dexiang''s expression kept changing, but he did not blame his son, but heartache that his son was abused and was forced to sign these agreements. Not only that, but infinite hatred for Li Guangkun, the master behind the scenes, rose in his heart. After Lin Zeyu finished speaking, looking at his son full of self-blame, Lin Dexiang patted his son on the shoulder, and comforted: "Ayu, Dad doesn''t blame you, as long as you are fine, money is something outside of the body, as long as living is the most important thing. ." "They still want the equity in Dad''s hands. If it weren''t for fear of giving it away, they would not let you go. I would have taken the equity out and exchanged it for you." "Dad, I didn''t blame you. Fortunately, you didn''t give it, otherwise I would really not survive." Lin Zeyu consoled his father instead. Fortunately, Lin Dexiang didn''t forget where it was. He stopped talking with his son, looked at the documents in his hand, and understood what Xia Yu meant. Lin Dexiang solemnly put the documents on the table, and then said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you saved the lives of my father and son. This kindness is greater than the heavens. All I can get is the equity of East West Bank." "I don''t know if you can re-draft two contracts. The 28% of the equity in my name and the 23% of the equity in my son''s name will be transferred to you free of charge!" "I hope you don''t dislike it! You must accept it!" PS: The Lin family is more important, don''t underestimate it, above. There is still an update today, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, latest website: v3 Chapter 914: East West Bank Obviously it was Xia Yu who wanted equity, but from Lin Dexiang''s words, he completely changed the meaning and became that he voluntarily gave the equity to Xia Yu, giving Xia Yu a good step down. Xia Yu couldn''t help taking a high look at Lin Dexiang. is worthy of being the founder of East West Bank. He is not only an elite in the financial industry, but his emotional intelligence is not low. The only thing I have to say is to look at people. After the establishment of East West Bank, in order to grow and develop, it even brought in the vicious-hearted shareholder Li Guangkun, so that it has reached the present level step by step. "Mr. Lin, I am not hypocritical. I am indeed interested in East West Bank. Although my assets are small, my influence among Chinese people is not small. I just need this influence." Xia Yu smiled and said frankly. Lin Dexiang smiled immediately: "You can use it, but I am worried that you will not be able to." Xia Yu laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, you are arrogant. The East West Bank you created is the first bank in the United States to serve Chinese people. In seven years, the scale of the bank has reached 600 million US dollars, and the achievements are not small. Up." Although the scale of East West Bank is small now, its assets are only a few billion Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars. It is a medium-sized bank in Hong Kong, and it is only a small regional bank in the United States. But Xia Yu knows the future of East West Bank. Its assets will reach more than 40 billion U.S. dollars and its market value will exceed 7 billion U.S. dollars. Although it can¡¯t be compared with the Wells Fargo Bank he just acquired, it¡¯s actually pretty good, and later generations are among the top dozen commercial banks in the United States. Of course, as Xia Yu said, compared to the future of East West Bank, he values ??the influence of East West Bank among Chinese Americans more. Although it has only been developed for seven years, its influence among the Chinese is still limited to the west, and mainly in Southern California. But how can East West Bank be regarded as the first bank to serve the Chinese, the foundation has been laid. If he wins East West Bank, Xia Yu¡¯s influence among the Chinese in California will definitely skyrocket, and as East West Bank continues to expand, Xia Yu¡¯s influence will also cover more Chinese Americans. This is what he needs. . A smart person never puts eggs in a basket, and he does not rely solely on forming an alliance with the Situ family. If it weren''t for this accidental encounter with East West Bank, he would think of other ways, and maybe he would take the initiative to acquire East West Bank in the future. In order for East West Bank to be used by him, the equity of Lin and his sons alone is not enough. Another major shareholder Li Guangkun¡¯s 49% equity must be taken over. So Xia Yu said to Lin Dexiang: "Mr. Lin, do you hate Li Guangkun?" Hearing this name, Lin Dexiang was excited, showing resentment, and said angrily: "I can''t wait for him to die without a burial place, this sinister villain!" At the beginning, he lacked funds. In order to ensure the control of East West Bank, he only gave 49% of the equity to three shareholders. Who knows that as the bank develops, he does not know what trick Li Guangkun used to remove the other two shareholders. The acquisition of the shares was completed. Not only that, Li Guangkun is also very good at acting. He has always been in a good relationship with him, but he only looks forward to it and dispels his worries. Unexpectedly, Li Guangkun tried to introduce new shareholders again and again in order to ensure control of East West Bank. He refused until Li Guangkun lost his patience and exposed his ugly face, directly insulting him, causing him to kidnap his son and forcing him to hand it over. Equity. If it weren''t for Xia Yu, not only would his son die, he would not escape, and his property would be taken away. His wife has passed away. If they both leave, there will only be one daughter who is studying in his family. Losing their father and son, the future of his daughter will be gloomy. His wife under Jiuquan knows and can never forgive him. It can be said that Li Guangkun wants his family to be destroyed. In contrast, Xia Yu saved his family! Compared with his family, what is the equity of East West Bank? What he still does. His son is also a rare management and financial genius among Chinese. As long as the people are still there, he can make a comeback! "Mr. Lin, don''t worry, I will not take your equity for nothing, nor will I take all of it!" "You leave 10% for yourself. As for Li Guangkun''s equity, I will take it myself." "Because of him, I almost lost my life and kept me busy!" With an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said lightly. Lin Dexiang was immediately surprised, and his heart became more and more grateful to Xia Yu. not only left him with 10% equity, but also helped him get revenge. He was not sure to deal with Li Guangkun, but Xia Yu definitely had a way. Although he didn''t understand Xia Yu''s situation, since the "13th Street" and other black forces could be wiped out by him overnight, dealing with Li Guangkun was definitely an easy task. Although Xia Yu said that he was revenge for himself, Lin Dexiang was still very grateful to Xia Yu. "Mr. Lin, there should be results in two days. Just go home and wait at ease." "Okay, Mr. Xia, our father and son are waiting for your news. I won''t bother you now. After we go back, we will draw up the contract and send it to you." "Please wait, I want to ask your son a question." Seeing Lin''s father and son getting up, Xia Yu said immediately. Lin Zeyu looked at Xia Yu suspiciously, while Lin Dexiang was a little nervous, his eyes turning between his son and Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Have we met somewhere before?" Lin Zeyu condensed his eyebrows, and finally shook his head and said: "It shouldn''t be there. I don''t remember where I saw Mr. Xia." "Mr. Xia, is there anything else for you?" Lin Dexiang asked quickly. Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "It''s nothing, but at first I felt that the nobleman was a bit familiar. Since we haven''t seen it, then I made a mistake." Not waiting for them to reply, Xia Yu said again: "You don''t have a car, I''ll send you back!" After that, Xia Yu ordered someone to drive home the thankful Lin family. After returning home, Xia Yu said to Kevin Ocashi: "Kevin, you know the next task, Li Guangkun, another shareholder of East West Bank, he must pay the price!" Kevin Okasi immediately took the order: "Boss, you wait for my news! Guarantee to complete the task!" That afternoon, the people of Blackwater International controlled Li Guangkun. Faced with the people of Blackwater International, Li Guangkun was scared to death by showing evidence that he had bought a murderer and attempted to kill someone from "13 Street". This evidence is enough to send him to the FBI and sentenced to life imprisonment, and it is announced that there is absolutely no place for him to stand among the Chinese in San Francisco. Not only that, but he also watched the news early in the morning, knew the fate of "13th Street" and "Mexican Eagle", and realized that he had provoke an offender. In the face of money and the life of his family, he decisively chose to save his life, honestly signed the equity transfer agreement, and by the way other assets were also retained. After getting the things, Blackwater International handled Li Guangkun¡¯s family secretly. Anyway, no one will see them in the United States from now on, and they think they have left the United States. The next morning, Lin Dexiang and his son took the initiative to drive to Xia Yu''s home with fruits and gifts. "Mr. Xia, please accept it!" After sitting down, Lin Dexiang immediately took out a kraft paper bag from his bag and presented it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it and opened it. There were two equity transfer contracts and equity certificates. The transferors were Lin Dexiang and Lin Zeyu, and the position of the receiver was still empty. Obviously, Xia Yu was asked to fill in it casually. Of course this is not the point. What surprised Xia Yu was that Lin Dexiang actually transferred all the shares held by their father and son to him, instead of leaving them with 10% of the shares as he said yesterday. Xia Yu looked at Lin Dexiang and Lin Zeyu in surprise for a long time, and looked at them a little uncomfortable. Xia Yu said: "Mr. Lin, you don¡¯t have to be like this. I said that your father and son left 10%. You now transfer them all to me. Isn¡¯t this just for me to do more tricks?" Lin Dexiang said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, your kindness to our family is too great. The equity is not enough to repay your kindness, so I think I should give it all to you, and I will feel better!" Xia Yu saw people very accurately, and he could see that this was Lin Dexiang''s true thoughts, which made him a little bit emotional. Lin Texiang''s quality is still good, and his ability is not bad. No one is perfect, Lin Dexiang is already better than most people. Because of Lin Dexiang''s quality and the importance of Lin Zeyu, Xia Yu confirmed his decision. Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Mr. Lin, you founded East West Bank. Don''t say you have no feelings for him." Facing Xia Yu¡¯s wise gaze, Lin Dexiang¡¯s mouth squirmed, and finally nodded bitterly, ¡°Mr. Xia, East West Bank can be said to be my other son. It is absolutely false to say that he has no feelings. I dream of creating a behavior. Chinese-served banks allow us Chinese-Americans to make up for financial weaknesses and make it easier to do business." Xia Yu slightly nodded and said, "If this is the case, don''t you want to continue to be in charge of East West Bank?" "If you leave, I have to look for other people to run it again. Can you rest assured that others run it?" Lin Dexiang understood what Xia Yu meant, he hesitated and asked for a moment: "Mr. Xia, do you mean let me continue to run East West Bank?" Xia Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I think with your love and understanding of East West Bank, I can''t find someone more suitable than you." "Leaving East West Bank, you have to find your way again. This is not only troublesome, but also wastes your time with your son, right?" "So I wonder if you would like to continue to control it with your son?" Lin Dexiang didn''t expect Xia Yu to do this at all. This was an unexpected surprise. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Our father and son are happy to help you!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction: "I won''t let you do it for nothing. I will ask you to draw up a contract and transfer 10% of the equity to you. You father and son will see how you divide it." "Then our father and son are five percent each!" Lin Dexiang looked at each other with his son, and said directly. "Well, you guys sit here for a while, I''ll make a call." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the phone and told his subordinates to bring good things. At other times in the morning, Xia Yu also talked a lot about the development of East West Bank with Lin and his sons. At noon, he also specially left them at home for a meal to deepen their relationship. After lunch, Xia Yu sent them out of the door and watched them leaveAccording to what the morning said, at this sensitive time, Xia Yu did not come forward to take over East West Bank, and let Lin and his son continue as usual. Generally operating, he will show up again at the right time. Although he gave Lin''s father and son 10% of the equity, Xia Yu is not a pity, after all, this thing belongs to their father and son. The quality of Lin''s father and son was good, and Xia Yu didn''t want to do everything. Furthermore, he also hopes to support a top Chinese family in the United States in addition to the Situ family. The Lin family is just right. The platform of East West Bank is very suitable for them to establish a network and become the **** of wealth for Chinese Americans. In Xia Yu''s view, the Lin family and his son will be more reliable than the Situ family in the future. And Lin Zeyu is also a well-known genius among Chinese Americans. At the age of 27, he obtained an MBA from Harvard Business School and also majored in finance. He has been in East West Bank for two years. After Lin Dexiang is old, Lin Zeyu can take over and contribute to his business empire. There are Lins and his sons in business and Situ''s in politics, perfect layout! After the Lin father and son left, Situ Boshan visited again, mainly because he was shocked by Xia Yu''s powerful strength, and became more determined to form an alliance with Xia Yu. was disturbed, the time flickered to the end of the month, and when the new year was about to come, he received good news again. PS: The two shifts total seven thousand words, OK, let¡¯s drop the recommended monthly ticket! v3 Chapter 915: Strongly settled in Hollywood The good news is that Goldman Sachs has formally dealt with the difficult American gambling tycoon Kirk Kerkrien, and separates MGM Pictures from MGM Hotel Group to complete the acquisition. I don¡¯t know where the news was leaked. Media such as The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and New York Times competed to report relevant news and analyzed how much of an impact Goldman Sachs¡¯ formal involvement in Hollywood would have on the American film industry. All major forces on Wall Street and Hollywood were alarmed. Although Goldman Sachs is a Wall Street capital giant, it is also the core power of the Jewish group. Generally speaking, the right to speak and influence of the Jewish power in Hollywood will expand again! "Lion" MGM won the strong backing of Goldman Sachs, does it mean that it is about to rise again? Will the "Lion" climb to the top of Hollywood again and dominate the movie world? Major media rushed to the head office of Goldman Sachs to block the door, trying to get the most accurate news. But the high-level executives of Goldman Sachs who know the truth are tight-lipped, and unsuspecting employees can''t ask any questions. When opinions were divergent, the head of the acquisition project of Goldman Sachs came to Polaris Capital in a low-key manner, formally handed over the equity of MGM Pictures, and completed the second half of the agreement that was set at the beginning. Polaris Capital Company spent a total of 184 million U.S. dollars to fully purchase MGM Pictures, and Goldman Sachs also made tens of millions of U.S. dollars. MGM Pictures in hand signifies Xia Yu''s official foothold in Hollywood. Although MGM Pictures is now at the bottom of Hollywood, the giant is still a giant anyway! Not to mention that $184 million is cheap, but it was acquired at a premium to net assets. Most of the film companies are virtual assets, because the value of that huge film library cannot be estimated, and the value is different in different periods. If it is put into the Internet era in the future, the value will really be discovered, even if it is to buy a film library, it will be almost the same as adding a zero after the 84 million US dollars! Now, even if the debt is deducted, it still costs this price, which shows that MGM Pictures is not small. Look at Columbia Film Industries, which is also one of the eight Hollywood giants. It has not delisted like MGM Pictures. Its market value is only more than 280 million US dollars! Of course, because Columbia Pictures Industries has gone public, and because the stock price is prone to volatility, the acquisition will be much more difficult. If it were acquired wholly, it would definitely far exceed the market value of more than $280 million. This is one of the benefits of listing! After Polaris Capital took over MGM Pictures, Peter Lynch immediately sent someone to MGM Pictures to take over. Many reporters had been squatting at the door of MGM Pictures. When the personnel from Polaris Capital entered the station, the news spread immediately. The news of the Goldman Sachs Group''s acquisition of MGM Pictures is still on the paper, and there is even more news immediately. MGM Pictures once again made the "front page headlines" of major newspapers and TV! It''s just that this time there is an extra third party-Polaris Capital Company! Goldman Sachs Group and Polaris Capital join forces to hunt the "lion"! --"New York Times" Polaris Capital Corporation! A financial giant not inferior to the Goldman Sachs Group! -"The Wall Street Journal" "Lion" changed hands again, can Polaris Capital Corporation let the Lion King dominate again? ¡ª¡ª"Hollywood Journal" Polaris Capital is hunting for "lions" strongly, and the film industry is about to explode? --"Washington post" ... Such a reversal not only caused the people who eat melons to shout "ohmygod", but also shocked the major forces on Wall Street and Hollywood. Polaris Capital seems to be interested in making headlines. It was the fourth day that MGM Pictures was acquired. On January 4, 1981, another news shocked Hollywood! One of the eight Hollywood giants, United Art Season Company (Lianmei Pictures), was wholly acquired by Polaris Capital for a price of 60 million US dollars! And on the day of the acquisition, Polaris Capital announced that Lianmei Pictures will merge into MGM Pictures in the future! This means that the eight Hollywood giants will become seven! This will have a profound impact on Hollywood''s power structure. Merely MGM Pictures and Lianmei Pictures are the bottom of the eight Hollywood giants. But now that the two are in one, the most obvious point is that the film library of MGM Pictures will become the number one in Hollywood! Moreover, the merger of the two giants will greatly increase the influence and competitiveness of MGM Pictures, and it will have the qualifications to break the wrist with other giants. Backed by the menacing capital giant-Polaris Capital, no one can predict how much MGM Pictures will change. The other six giants in Hollywood are on the lookout and wary of MGM Pictures. The circle of independent producers, which relies heavily on MGM Pictures and United American Pictures, is even more chaotic. All stakeholders want to know the attitude of MGM Pictures to them. But these things have nothing to do with Xia Yu for the time being, and he didn''t even care about the feelings of these people. He is now having a headache to find a suitable "Lion King Knight". MGM Pictures was spun off from the MGM Hotel Group, and there is no one at the helm. If it hadn¡¯t been for Polaris Capital to stabilize the situation, it would be a mess. In addition, Lianmei Pictures will also merge into MGM Pictures. In order to maximize the use of resources, Xia Yu urgently needs a talent with knowledge of Hollywood and outstanding ability to take charge of MGM Pictures. Now the United States does not know how many eyes are staring at Polaris Capital and MGM Pictures, and how many people are looking forward to watching the jokes. The resistance of Hollywood''s major forces, especially the six giants, has not been displayed. If they collapse first, Polaris Capital will become the laughingstock of the United States and a shame in the financial industry! It was aggressive when it came, and when it was gone, it was enough for Polaris Capital to be recorded in Hollywood history and become the laughing stock of the ages. Xia Yu can''t afford to lose this face! So he immediately mobilized Korn Ferry International to screen suitable candidates for hunting. He also combined the memory of later generations, looking for the "Lion King Knight" from Hollywood''s powerful bosses! Xia Yu''s first goal is Mike Eisner, the Bismarck-style leader now in charge of Paramount Pictures. This Hollywood tyrant has played the role of the savior twice. In the early 1970s, he turned the almost dead-end ABC company back into profit and rejuvenated it. Now in charge of Paramount Pictures, in just four years, Paramount Pictures, which ranks low, once again become the top three, and the upward momentum is still fierce. If history does not change, he will be poached by Disney in 1984, through a series of drastic reforms, including crazy development of brand-driven product sales, upgrading Disneyland, and opening a film and television department that produces non-G-rated movies. Within a few years, Disney became the leader of the industry, and "The Lion King", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Pocahontas" were sold all over the world. UU reading And through step-by-step acquisitions, Disney expanded into the television and publishing industries, becoming a giant cross-media group. Although "tyrant" Mike Eisner has mixed reputations, it is undeniable that he is extremely powerful. Unfortunately, facing Korn Ferry¡¯s poaching, Mike Eisner simply refused. Korn Ferry decisively changed the target and took aim at Warner Bros. President Terry Semel and General Manager and Vice President Robert Dali. The two will work hard together to build Warner Bros. into the world''s largest and most creative media and entertainment company. They are definitely awesome. Not only that, Terry Semel later became the president of Yahoo! If MGM Pictures hired him, it would be enough to make him defeat the beginning of the 21st century, and Xia Yu would not need to be replaced! Unfortunately, both of these two refused without hesitation. Both of them have only worked for Warner Bros. for three years. They have taken Warner Bros. onto the fast track of the rise and are now enjoying the rise. Pleasure, how can you be willing to take the lead of MGM Pictures? A few days later, Korn Ferry failed to dig people in succession, and the news leaked out. Some media began to tease MGM Pictures in public. v3 Chapter 916: MGM’s future is a media empire When Xia Yu was a little annoyed, the two elites in his list did not refuse the invitation of Korn Ferry, which gave Xia Yu a glimmer of light. The two are Barry Diller, the current vice president of Paramount Pictures, and Shirley Lansing, the current vice president and vice president of Columbia Pictures. Barry Diller is definitely a genius in film and television media. He first dropped out of Los Angeles University and joined the William Morris agency. Five years later, he joined the American Broadcasting Corporation as assistant general manager, where he invented both TV series and TV movies. The long-lasting broadcasting model in the future has greatly increased the number of ABC users. Later, he joined Paramount Pictures at the age of 32 and served as the vice president at the age of 35, a proper talented elite. Work experience in these positions has made Barry Diller an all-rounder proficient in film and TV entertainment. What Xia Yu still knows. If following the original historical trajectory, Barry Diller would be dug into the 20th Century Fox Company by Rupert Murdoch four years later, leading its rapid rise, and co-founding Fox Broadcasting with Rupert Murdoch Company and built it into the fourth largest television network in the United States in just a few years. His ability is evident! In Xia Yu''s plan, MGM Pictures will definitely not only set foot in the film industry. Without cable channels, TV networks or broadband channels, and without the backing of a media group, MGM Pictures, even with Xia Yu¡¯s golden fingers, cannot really form a deterrent. Once Xia Yu no longer pays attention, it will be instigated. People, as long as the investment fails a few times, MGM Pictures may become the tail of the crane again. Therefore, MGM will definitely be built into a comprehensive film and television media and entertainment group in the future, and it is best to build a TV network as soon as possible against the future 20th Century Fox. Furthermore, the six Hollywood giants in the future are all integrated film and television media and entertainment giants. It can be said that this road is the only way. As the saying goes, step by step, step by step! Now that he knows this, Xia Yu must let MGM embark on this path in advance. If Barry Diller is hired to become the chairman of MGM Pictures, MGM Pictures will have a bright future! As for Shirley Lansing, although she is a woman, she should not be underestimated. This strong woman is one of the most successful women in Hollywood in the future. Although she is still serving as the vice president of Columbia Graduate Film Industry Company, according to the historical trajectory, she will go to 20th Century Fox as the general manager and become the first in Hollywood history. A woman leading the eight major film groups. Later, the annual "Hollywood Women''s Rights List" set up the "Shirley Lansing Leadership Award" named after her, which is enough to prove her leadership ability. Although Shirley Lansing is still at the Columbia Graduate Film Industry Company, she should be leaving soon. Now that she accepted the hunting invitation, the probability that Xia Yu will win her is still very high. Barry Diller is the same. As long as Xia Yu is flickering, he has a good chance to win it. In Xia Yu''s short-term plan, Barry Diller will serve as the chairman of MGM Pictures, become the helm of MGM, and build MGM into a media empire. Shirley Lansing is the CEO, responsible for implementing Barry Diller¡¯s plans. After the decision, Xia Yu immediately asked Korn Ferry to notify the two. Xia Yu first met Barry Diller in the reception room of Polaris Capital. Barry Diller, who is only thirty-eight years old, also wore a neat suit and a neat big back in this big winter. He looked vigorous and a mature and stable temperament exuded from the inside out. Upon closer inspection, his sharp eyes revealed his vigorous spirit. Mature, stable, shrewd and capable, yet he has the courage to fight and fight, and at first glance he looks like a person who can do great things. "Mr. Diller, it is nice to meet you, I am the chairman of Polaris Capital, Xia Yu!" Xia Yu stretched out a hand to him with a smile, and introduced himself first. Although Barry Diller has learned some information about Polaris Capital and some information about Xia Yu, he was still shocked when he saw Xia Yu''s young face. But fortunately, he is also a person who has seen the world. His heart is strong enough, and his expression is calm and calm. He shook hands with Xia Yu and calmly said: "Mr. Xia, it is my honor to know you. The operation of Polaris Capital is shocked. The whole Hollywood!" "It''s not worth mentioning, just small actions!" Xia Yu smiled and made a please gesture: "Mr. Diller, let''s sit down and talk." "What do you want?" "A cup of black coffee will do!" ¡­¡­ With a few simple greetings, the atmosphere of the conversation gradually builds up. After the staff brought the brewed coffee, Xia Yu planned to discuss business. He didn¡¯t mean anything, and went straight to the subject and said: ¡°Mr. Diller, I¡¯ve seen your resume. Although you haven¡¯t completely managed a company, your ability is beyond doubt. I think you have the ability to bring MGM to the top again. And create new history." "I hope you can be the chairman of MGM!" "I wonder if you want to be the lion king?" is the chairman and not the CEO? Rao made preparations before Barry Diller came, but Xia Yu''s position was completely beyond his expectation. He originally planned to apply for the CEO, and he went from the vice president of Paramount Pictures to the eighth Hollywood. No, he is the CEO of one of the seven giants. It is definitely a key improvement that will completely open his career plan. ceiling. But he didn''t expect Xia Yu to be so optimistic about him, which surprised him somewhat. The chairman of a company is the person with the highest authority, and the executive president is the second. Generally, the chairman of the board is the owner or the largest shareholder of the company and is in charge of the development direction of the company. The chief executive mainly makes recommendations to the chairman, which are then discussed and approved by the board of directors, and then executed by the chief executive. Of course, there are also some companies whose chairman and executive president are concurrently. Can be the top chairman with the most authority, and who wants to be the second-best executive president under the constraints of others? Although Barry Diller was moved, he was not an impulsive person. Instead, he cautiously asked: "Mr. Xia, do I know why you chose me as chairman?" Xia Yu smiled and did not answer his question. Instead, he said to himself: "Mr. Diller, I know you are not doing well at Paramount Pictures. Martin Davis is looking at In the oil field, the acquisition of Paramount Pictures could not fully tap the value and was unwilling to make more attempts. It rejected your proposal to build a TV network for Paramount, thinking that the risk was too great." "Obviously, he doesn''t believe in your ability." "But in my opinion, the future development space of a simple film production company is too small, and its ability to resist risks is also poor. Often the failure of several medium-sized investment films or the failure of a large-scale film investment will cause the film company to hit hard. , And even cause bankruptcy." "This is why the ranking of the eight Hollywood giants is so unstable." "But Warner Bros. Communications has embarked on this diversified path, not only relying on media companies, but getting involved." "Maybe because Warner Bros. Communications has just implemented the plan, the effect is not too obvious, but I think this is the best way for the future." Speaking of this, Xia Yu stopped to take a sip of coffee to moisturize his throat, and found that Barry Diller was listening carefully, his eyes flashing to show his inner uneasiness. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said again: "In my plan, MGM will build its own TV network in the future and become a comprehensive film, television, media and entertainment group." "And you worked for the ABC, and even made huge innovations, which changed the development context of the television industry. You are a genius in this field." "Plus you have experience in film production and distribution, and you have achieved very good results." "I think you have the potential in this area, what you lack is just a large enough platform to display your talents!" Xia Yu''s remarks were completely in the heart of Barry Diller, which coincided with his vision for the future of Hollywood giants. He made many suggestions to Martin Davis, the owner of Gulf Western Industries, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, but they were rejected, which made him disappointed. This is also the reason why he will be easily poached by Rupert Murdoch in a few years. He started to build the Fox Television Network when he was poached. Although his depression has not yet accumulated to its peak, it is not without it. The boss Xia Yu, who has only met now, is so optimistic about him. Compare the two and make a judgment. Furthermore, although Polaris Capital is very young, the information collected from the surface is sufficient to show that it is a powerful financial giant ~ www.novelhall.com~ With such a wealthy financial giant behind it, Migao The basic conditions for Mei Films to grow into a media empire already exist. And the boss¡¯s point of view is exactly the same. He doesn¡¯t have to worry about wrestling with the boss, so he can fully realize his vision. In that case, he has nothing to hesitate. Looking at the smiling Xia Yu, he directly changed his words and said: "Boss, thank you for your approval, I am willing to accept your invitation!" Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile, and Noyu said: "Barry, are you afraid that I''m not satisfied with the treatment I give you?" Barry Diller wisely smiled and asked, "The boss, will you treat me badly?" Xia Yu laughed, and said bluntly, "Of course not, your salary is 20% higher than that of Paramount''s president Mike Eisner!" His salary at Paramount Pictures is about eight levels of President Mike Eisner''s. Now according to the words of his boss Xia Yu, his salary has increased by 50%. The position of the chairman of the board is higher than that of the executive president. This salary is fully in line with the company''s salary system. He has nothing to say except for being grateful, and to mention that he doesn''t know good or bad. So Barry Diller bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you, boss!" PS: It''s still three thousand words, please ask for votes! v3 Chapter 917: The battle against the six Hollywood giants Next, Xia Yu ordered his subordinates to prepare the employment contract, and the time was written two days later. Barry Diller solemnly signed his name on it, and then put a contract in his briefcase. "Boss, I will resign after I go back today. It will take about three days to complete the transfer of work." Xia Yu nodded and said, "Three days are acceptable, but you should be as early as possible. MGM Pictures and United American Pictures are waiting for you to take over." "I will as soon as possible!" Barry Diller replied. got Barry Diller, Xia Yu did not hide his plan from him, told him to wait for an appointment to meet Shirley Lansing, and hired her to become the CEO of MGM Pictures. Barry Diller also knew this strong woman and had dealt with her a lot, so he recognized her abilities and fully agreed with Xia Yu''s plan. For the next appointment, Xia Yu directly asked Barry Diller to stay here. When Shirley Lansing arrived, she saw Barry Diller and Xia Yu talking and laughing. She was still stunned. Then she realized that Barry Diller, the vice president of Paramount Pictures, had been Poached away. With Barry Diller on the side, Xia Yu once again told her his plans for MGM Pictures and the arrangements for her. Shirley Lansing did not receive an invitation from 20th Century Fox at this time, so he was very satisfied with Xia Yu¡¯s position as CEO and accepted Xia Yu¡¯s invitation and became Xia Yu¡¯s effective subordinate. Later, Xia Yu told Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing some things, such as having invested in CAA and secretly integrating theater lines. These layouts of Xia Yu made the two admire Xia Yu''s layout and look forward to the future of MGM. At this point, Xia Yu can finally let go of the two to run MGM and build a media empire for him. After Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing quickly left. Seems to be deliberately targeting the rumors, Polaris Capital specifically convened a press conference and announced in a high profile that Barry Diller was the chairman of MGM Pictures and Shirley Lansing was the CEO. After the press conference, the news that Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing were poached by MGM spread widely. Some were shocked, some regretted, and some were cold-eyed. There are various forms of sentient beings. But no matter what, many people want to watch the jokes between MGM Pictures and Polaris Capital in a short time. After Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing took over MGM Pictures and United American Pictures, they reformed drastically. At the same time, they used the US$100 million injected by Polaris Capital to redeem the lost money. Film and television rights. Just when Xia Yu was about to relax, Michael Ovitz called him and told him that Steven Spielberg wanted to talk to him after seeing the script of "Alien E¡¤T" talk. On the morning of January 15, after Xia Yu had breakfast, he drove to the CAA brokerage company. After getting the report from the employees, Michael Ovitz immediately came out to greet Xia Yu. Only a month away, Michael Ovitz¡¯s attitude has changed fundamentally. He has become more respectful of Xia Yu, and his attitude is very low. Obviously, Polaris Capital''s acquisition of MGM Pictures and United American Films gave him a huge shock. Although Xia Yu briefly mentioned it to him before, but after all, there is no intuitive feeling. But when what Xia Yu said was realized in such a short period of time, and Polaris Capital still entered Hollywood with such an overbearing attitude, he, a practitioner in the Hollywood film and television industry, felt more profound than ordinary people. has the support of MGM Pictures, which has annexed United American Pictures, and the CAA brokerage company he created will rise at a faster rate. From now on, he will no longer have to wait on celebrities when signing a contract. CAA brokerage company surpasses his old club William Morris brokerage company Asahi is waiting, and it is more likely to have an impact on MCA Group in the future! From now on, Xia Yu''s influence on him is no longer pure capital, but all the resources of MGM Pictures. "Mr. Xia, after witnessing your series of operations, I have not been able to sleep these days and nights. It is really shocking. You have easily changed the pattern of Hollywood." While walking, Michael Ovitz touted. These days, this kind of flattery and compliment made Xia Yu¡¯s ears callous, so he just smiled and said nonchalantly: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s been two hundred and fifty million. It¡¯s about tens of millions of dollars, but the hunt for the chairman and CEO of MGM Pictures has cost me a lot of attention." Xia Yu''s casual attitude made Michael Ovitz''s expression stiff. He looked at Xia Yu subconsciously and found that Xia Yu did not look like he did. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, with a strong feeling of prickling. Invisible pretence is the most deadly. "Two hundred and fifty million dollars is said so easily, Mr. Xia, I have seen so many people, so you can say such things, I don''t know what to say anymore." Michael Ovitz said quietly. Xia Yu was taken aback, looked at Michael Ovitz, who was a little bit shocked, and laughed dumbfounded, and did not go further on this topic. After a while, a group of people came to the office. "Mr. Xia, it''s not yet the agreed time. Steven Spielberg hasn''t come yet, but it should be almost here." After ¡¡¡¡ sat down, Xia Yu found a comfortable sitting position and said nonchalantly, "Then wait." "Michael, do you know what Steven Spielberg is up to now? "Indiana Jones" should be finished? Did he take a new movie?" Faced with a series of questions raised by Xia Yu, Michael Ovitz immediately said: "I specifically asked, the shooting mission of "Indiana Jones" has been completed, and it is now entering post-production. According to the normal schedule, this movie It should be released in the summer file." "Then I asked Steven Spielberg, and he clearly told me that he had received a lot of scripts, but he didn''t decide which one to shoot." Xia Yu nodded slightly, letting go. Since Steven Spielberg has not settled down and is willing to come over to talk, it is very likely that the movie "Alien E¡¤T" will be taken over by him, and it can be shot in the first time. The key is to wait. Can it be done? The film "Alien E¡¤T" was filmed by Steven Spielberg in the previous life. After its final release, it sparked a movie-watching boom all over the world, with a global box office of up to 790 million US dollars. So although Steven Spielberg is not the only major Hollywood director, in order to ensure the success as much as possible, Xia Yu still wants Steven Spielberg to make this movie. ¡­¡­ Just as the two were chatting, it was 9:58 in the morning unknowingly, and Steven Spielberg arrived two minutes early. After a polite greeting, the three of them sat around the table. Steven Spielberg directly took out the script of "Alien E¡¤T" he had received before, and his eyes drifted away from them. Michael Ovitz explained immediately: "Mr. Spielberg, this screenplay was brought out by Mr. Xia, the majority shareholder of our company." "Mr. Xia, this screenplay is wonderful, and it attracts me." Steven Spielberg said without hesitation, without concealing his attitude. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Spielberg, you have a lot of knowledge in science fiction and commercial films, so I also think you will be interested in it. I wonder if you would like to shoot it?" Praise belongs to praise, but when it comes to specific cooperation matters, Steven Spielberg is also very cautious. He did not nod immediately, but bluntly pointed out the concerns and said: "Mr. Xia, this script is very Not bad, but there is more than one factor that determines the box office of a movie. The Galaxy Film Company written on the script was just a small film company from Asia. It cannot open up the Hollywood situation." Although Steven Spielberg is telling the truth, Xia Yu still feels a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, he has considered this a long time ago, so he was anxious to take MGM Pictures. Xia Yu said indifferently: "Mr. Spielberg, Galaxy Film Company is not qualified, then MGM Pictures Company?" When mentioning MGM Pictures, Steven Spielberg raised his brow. During this period of time, the affairs of MGM Pictures are raging. Of course, he knows that if it is MGM Pictures that has annexed United States Pictures, it must be qualified. Isn¡¯t this Mr. Xia a major shareholder of CAA Brokerage Company? He has already settled the investment before MGM has settled down? To ensure that this "Alien E¡¤T" will be released, it will cost at least 20 million U.S. dollars. MGM Pictures agreed so soon? With doubts, Steven Spielberg asked directly: "Mr. Xia, MGM Pictures is willing to shoot this movie? Is it the only producer in the same house?" "Of course not, MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films co-produced this movie." Xia Yu said without hesitation. At this moment, Michael Ovitz realized that Steven Spielberg should not know the identity of Xia Yu, only when Xia Yu was the majority shareholder of CAA Brokerage. So he introduced again in good faith: "Mr. Spielberg, I think I have to introduce you to Mr. Xia. He is not only a major shareholder of our company, but also the chairman of Polaris Capital, MGM Pictures. He led the acquisition of the company and United Film Corporation." Steven Spielberg was shocked. He looked at Xia Yu up and down, took a deep breath of the waves in the air pressure system, and apologized: "I''m sorry, Mr. Xia, please allow me to take back the question just now. At this point, I have nothing. Confused." A joke, Polaris Capital invested US$184 million to acquire MGM Pictures, another US$60 million to acquire United Films, and then announced a capital injection of US$100 million. Polaris Capital is simply inhumane. Since the chairman of Polaris Capital has said this personally, asking him again is undoubtedly an insult to Xia Yu and his own IQ. It''s just that he wants to know what Xia Yu''s position is for this movie. Only by knowing this can he decide whether to take over. So he asked again: "Mr. Xia, according to the script, this movie does not have too many big scenes, so the production cost should be more than ten million US dollars. If you add the publicity cost, it will only be 20 million. Do you think it¡¯s okay?" Xia Yu looked straight at Steven Spielberg, and solemnly said: "Mr. Spielberg, this movie will be the first film of MGM Pictures¡¯ re-emergence, so Committed to the pursuit of classics, there will be no constraints on the production cost, not to mention 20 million US dollars, doubling or even more is fine, as long as you spend your money valuable and meaningful!" Steven Spielberg was silent for a moment, shrugged and said: "I think as long as I am a normal director, I will not refuse this temptation!" "The pursuit of the ultimate in film is also my life creed." "Mr. Xia, I made this movie!" Xia Yu smiled immediately, got up and stretched out a hand to him, Steven Spielberg immediately reached out and held Xia Yu together. "I wish us a happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" After reaching a verbal agreement, the other details are next. For example, the director¡¯s share ratio, the actor¡¯s agency agreement, the preparation for release, the permission to modify the script again, etc., have all been discussed. At the end, Xia Yu made one last request. "Mr. Spielberg, it''s January 1981, I hope this movie can be released in the summer next year, no problem?" The time span is 17 months, which is already a long time for a movie. His "Indiana Jones" started in June last year and will be released in June this year, which is only a year away. Even if you add up the time and preparation time for the early wrangling, it is only about 14 months. Although Xia Yu''s request, he will try his best to make "Alien E¡¤T" perfect, but three more months are more than enough! So he said without any pressure: "Of course it¡¯s okay. You will definitely be able to see this movie in theaters next summer." "I look forward to the final product!" Xia Yu said with a smile. After the negotiation, Xia Yu and Steven Spielberg agreed to formally sign the contract the day after tomorrow. After returning, Xia Yu immediately informed Barry Diller to prepare him, and at the same time gave him the script of "Alien E¡¤T" that had not been modified by Steven Spielberg. Barry Diller shocked the boss'' actions while preparing quickly on the other side. Two days later, Wu Siyuan, the general manager of Galaxy Films, rushed to San Francisco to attend the press conference of MGM Pictures. In the eyes of everyone, Barry Diller, Steven Spielberg, Wu Siyuan and others walked onto the rostrum, and the reporters who arrived kept pressing the shutter. Then, the tripartite agreement was signed under the spotlight. MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films jointly invested in the filming of "Alien E¡¤T" initial capital of 50 million US dollars, MGM Pictures invested 30 million US dollars, Galaxy Films Investing 20 million US dollars, Steven Spielberg is the director. The media immediately recorded this historic moment. After the signing of the agreement, Barry Diller made no secret, and directly announced that "Alien E¡¤T" would be released in the summer file next year. It was clear that he was driving and facing off. This is a provocation from the "lion"! The media immediately became excited. Reporters from all walks of life used cameras to record Barry Diller''s domineering scenes, and they were already thinking about how to "pick things" after they went back quickly. If the other six giants are willing to step down and make a statement, then the bonuses in the next half month or even a month will not escape. Finally, this press conference ended in the hustle and bustle. On the same day, major entertainment evening newspapers and TV entertainment channels reported this breaking news one after another. Hollywood studios, large and small, learned of the news and responded with mixed reactions. But these are not within Xia Yu''s attention, nor can it attract the attention of Barry Diller, who is busy dealing with company affairs and preparing to set up a shooting project team for "Alien E¡¤T". As for Xia Yu, he took a plane and traveled across the United States to New York. PS: The update is a bit late, but this chapter 4500+, including the daytime, today¡¯s update is almost 8,000 words, I ask for a monthly pass (don¡¯t worry, these words are not charged) v3 Chapter 918: Huge floating profits on the eve of oil futures harvest / Returning to New York again, Xia Yu first paid attention to the situation of the merged Philip-Solomon Company. There are still some areas of the company that have not been fully integrated, but in terms of progress, Xia Yu has nothing to say. John Gooflan, the later "King of Wall Street", is very capable. And even in the integration, Philip Solomon is still running very well. Philip Solomon''s strength in the futures field is still very strong. Although it temporarily cut off the business of advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, in the field of oil futures, Philip Solomon''s investment is still very fierce. But think about it, anyway, Philip Brothers was also a leader in futures, which was calculated by Xia Yu, and was **** down. Now it has merged with Salomon Brothers, and it is still a giant for other peers. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu also learned about the investment and operation of the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and Toby Morton managed the company well. Although Polaris Capital did not take over Disney, Toby Morton bought a 13.6% stake in Wall Street. Xia Yu plans to transfer the shares of these Disney companies to the British Bright Fund to prepare for future actions. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu took the pre-investment target survey data collected by Toby Morton, and after browsing it, the circle drew a number of key long-term investment targets. The most typical is Kodak, the camera giant. Xia Yu knows very well that Kodak launched epoch-making products in the era of so-called photos in 1981. In the 1980s, many Chinese people left the shadow of Kodak in their best youth. In this year, Kodak¡¯s sales exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, and its market value exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars this year, becoming the tenth largest company in the United States by market value. So at this time, using financial leverage to invest in Kodak, the return is absolutely high. After the news of Xia Yu''s arrival in New York was known by Warren Buffett, the latter specially invited him to lunch at the most famous steakhouse in New York. While enjoying the compliments of Warren Buffett, Xia Yu talked with him about investment methods, which made Warren Buffett a lot. If Warren Buffett would listen to Xia Yu''s advice, the value of this lunch would be more than a few million dollars, and it would not be impossible for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. When he left, Xia Yu had a thought in his mind. Maybe he could add an item to his Sotheby¡¯s auction house in the future when he held an annual auction, called "Lunch with Xia Yu," and then transfer the auction funds. Using it for charity can definitely become a good talk. Of course, Xia Yu dismissed this idea after obscenity. Compared with world-famous, he prefers to hide himself behind the scenes. This is the way that capitalists who truly dominate the distribution of world resources should behave in the world. It may be the opportunity of a cup of tea or a meal to decide or contribute to an event that has a profound impact on the world. exposed to the spotlight, jumping around under the eyes of countless people, that is called the rich, at best, it is the super rich. Finally, Xia Yu quietly came to the location of the Galaxy Fund. After inspecting the company, he convened a meeting with Xue He, Song Yang and others to make arrangements for the investment in oil futures. In the conference room, Xia Yu read the reports provided by various investment groups to understand the real situation of Galaxy Fund today. During the four months from September to December 1980, Xue He and others were not idle. Although the price of oil futures has been rising, they still unswervingly invested money in it. After officially entering in 1981, funds were completely stopped entering the market. Although oil futures prices rose more and more, they all implemented Xia Yu''s instructions faithfully and resolutely stopped entering the market. During the four months from September to December, the Galaxy Fund again invested 1.378 billion US dollars into the oil futures market, this time again without using leverage. Mainly considering that David Rockefeller has known that he is speculating in oil futures, so Xia Yu can only do so for the sake of insurance. Anyway, he doesn''t have much else, but has a lot of liquidity. After four months, the investment of 1.378 billion US dollars, the average purchase price of 30.1 US dollars / barrel, a total of 45,800 lots were bought. Now the Galaxy Fund has invested a total of 7.138 billion US dollars. In addition to the oil futures contracts it held before, the Galaxy Fund holds 313,600 futures contracts, which is properly hidden behind the scenes of major oil futures speculators. According to today¡¯s latest opening price of US$33.7/barrel, the total value of these oil futures contracts is currently US$10.57 billion. is subtracted, and the floating profit is as high as $3.43 billion! is more than two billion more than the 1.256 billion US dollars at the end of August. Of course, even if you make more money this time, it will definitely not exceed the amount you made during the previous speculation in gold futures. There is no way, who made the current oil futures market just started, the market capacity is far less than the gold futures market, he invested less than the previous speculation in gold futures, it is very good to have so many floating profits. Putting down the report, Xia Yu tapped his finger on the table, focusing everyone''s attention on himself. Xia Yu slowly said: "The number of contracts in our hands is already very large. Have you made a sound exit plan?" "Boss, my team has been designed. After repeated deductions, there should be no loopholes." "Boss, my team also made a plan..." ¡­¡­ All the executives answered one after another. Because the speculation in gold futures has gone through a scene larger than it is now, they all have experience. Now that it¡¯s okay to express his position, Xia Yu is relieved. "Boss, the price is about to reach $34/barrel. The price fluctuations are already obvious. Should we withdraw?" After hesitating for a moment, Xue He said with some worry. Other people are also staring at Xia Yu, they also have this concern. Xia Yu smiled and slowly said, "Don''t worry, there is still a lot of room for improvement." "Don''t look at the big volatility today. Tomorrow you watch TV and keep an eye on the news of the White House to ensure that oil futures prices will rise sharply!" Xue He and others'' eyes lit up, and they heard what the boss Xia Yu meant. "Boss, tomorrow is the time when the US President takes office. Will the US government intervene in oil futures by policy?" Song Yang hurriedly asked. They all know that the boss was busy with the US election last year. Although they don''t know the details, they know that it will definitely not be a trivial matter to make the boss work so hard to do this. So in their view, with the energy of the boss, it is absolutely possible to learn about the unannounced decree of the US government! It''s a pity that even if they were curious, Xia Yu didn''t tell them, but said again: "You will know tomorrow." When everyone was lost, Xia Yu said again: "But now I will draw a line for you. As long as the oil futures price exceeds 37 US dollars per barrel, you will begin to exit the market in an orderly manner." "According to my estimation, the highest point should be above 39 USD/barrel." "Leave a space for two dollars, can you complete the retreat?" "can do!" "No problem boss!" ¡­¡­ Xia Yu nodded slightly, but he was not worried in his heart. According to the original historical trajectory This time the oil crisis caused the oil futures to skyrocket, but it exceeded 39 US dollars/barrel, but it never broke the 40 US dollars/barrel line. And this time, he also invested more than seven billion dollars into the market, directly raising the threshold. And he had eaten such a big piece of cake, so the cake distributed to the heads of the financial giants on Wall Street would naturally be smaller. With their greedy faces, they should not retreat without eating enough benefits, so it is very likely that they will continue to raise the price hard. Under the influence of his butterfly wings, the price of oil futures this time is likely to exceed the $40/barrel mark, realizing the unfulfilled wishes of those speculators in the past. Therefore, he arranges a price of 37 US dollars per barrel and then flees. It is simply not too safe! Finally, the meeting ended with Xia Yu¡¯s inspiring words. Xia Yu returned to the manor in the suburbs of New York, ready to rest and recharge for what will happen tomorrow. This evening, Ronald Reagan held a special "candle light celebration" to reward the donors and entrepreneurs of tomorrow''s inauguration, and of course some people invited to support his election. But this kind of celebration to save Ronald Reagan did not send an invitation to Xia Yu. Even if he did, he would not go. It was not in line with his status, because tonight''s party was only for ordinary supporters. His stage, tomorrow night! PS: Ask for votes v3 Chapter 919: Reagans Inauguration and Article 1 Order On January 20, the inauguration of the new President Ronald Reagan of the United States will be held on this day. Previously, according to major media reports, more than 800,000 Americans will come to Washington to attend the inauguration of the new president. Of course, these people can only stand outside the Capitol. can go to the innermost, only specially invited special guests. In the early morning, Ronald Reagan and George Walker Bush and their families first came to the St. John''s Anglican Cathedral near the White House to pray. After praying, the group returned to the White House. Ronald Reagan and the current President Jimmy Carter met at the White House for a cup of coffee, and then the two drove to the Capitol with their wife. And Xia Yu also came to the special guest seat with a special invitation letter at a specific time. Around him are the ambassadors of various countries to the United States, congressional leaders attending the ceremony, and important supporters. The presence of a yellow-skinned young man like Xia Yu made people around him look frequently. Xia Yu also saw the Chinese Ambassador to the United States smiling and nodding at him. It was only Xia Yu¡¯s keen discovery, the surprise in the eyes of the Chinese Ambassador to the United States. color. Xia Yu is very clear that after the inauguration, he is estimated to report to it immediately, repositioning Xia Yu''s influence and relationship with the incoming new president Ronald Reagan. You know, on this occasion, apart from the ambassadors of Asian countries to the United States, Xia Yu is the only one with yellow skin. It is definitely Scorpion Laba-the only one! I believe that in addition to China''s ambassador to the United States, ambassadors from other countries will also collect information on Xia Yu. Everyone who may have a relationship with the US president is their close target. Xia Yu can guess this, but he is also happy to do so. He just doesn''t like to be high-profile in front of ordinary people, but it is definitely beneficial and harmless to be registered at the highest level in various countries. And the more the mainland attaches importance to him, the better he can mix in the future! time flies. When it comes to Washington time, the inauguration ceremony officially begins. The U.S. Marine Corps band played the opening song at the ceremony. At the same time, the inauguration emcee Colby Foster stood in front of the microphone and first introduced the previous presidents, then Ronald Reagan and George Walker Bush. People¡¯s family members, as well as the leaders of the Congress in each ceremony. then introduced George Walker Bush, and finally Ronald Reagan, the most important person of the inauguration. The whole inauguration took half an hour. The time finally came to 12 noon, and more than 800,000 people outside the Capitol kept quiet. Because they know that the most critical time has come! In the eyes of everyone, George Walker Bush took his family to the center of the rostrum and sworn in as the 40th Vice President of the United States. The oath ceremony was presided over by the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. The first African-American Supreme Court justice in the history of the United States was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson on the 2nd. So far, this is the fourth time he has served as the host of the inauguration oath of the President of the United States. After George Walker Bush¡¯s solemn oath was taken, Ronald Reagan brought his family to the microphone in the center of the stage in the expectation. His wife Nancy Davis Reagan was wearing gloves and resting her hands. With a "Bible" given to him by his mother when he was a child, Ronald Reagan placed his left hand on the "Bible", held his right hand high, and solemnly swore an oath. "I swear, I pray for the blessing of ¡®God¡¯..." Seeing this scene, especially the "Bible" pressed by Ronald Reagan''s left hand, Xia Yu had a faint smile on his face, feeling a bit interesting. This is the United States that proclaims freedom and democracy. The tradition of the American president''s oath by pressing on the "Bible" began with the first president, George Washington. Of course, this tradition is not a mandatory requirement of the "U.S. Constitution". It is only because Washington, the founding father of the United States, is a pious Christian. He believes that the independence of the United States is the grace of "God" and kissed the "Bible" at the presidential inauguration. , Press the "Bible" to swear. Since then, every president has followed suit in order to show his respect for Washington and to let himself take office smoothly. Not only that, every U.S. president since then has been a Christian, and presidential candidates will emphasize their Christian faith when participating in presidential elections, otherwise it will be almost impossible to win the election. What should I say about these things, Xia Yu can only express fun, and does not mean to offend or despise, after all, every place has its cultural tradition. For example, the motorcycle stacking Arhats in the Indian military parade is very distinctive in Xia Yu''s view. It is impressive after seeing it once, and it is impossible to forget [dog head] if you want to forget it. After the inauguration speech, the content of the major media''s attention came. Ronald Reagan announced the members of the new cabinet and the White House. The cabinet team includes Vice President George Walker Bush. Secretary of State: Alexander Megs Haig, the former commander of the US European Command. Secretary of Defense: Casper Willard Weinberg. Minister of Justice: William French Smith. Minister of Finance: Donald Reagan. Minister of the Interior: James G. Watt. Minister of Commerce: Milecom Baldridge. Minister of Labor: Raymond J. Donovan. Minister of Energy: James B. Edwards. ¡­¡­ The cabinet is basically decided after the Republican Party and the Democratic Party struggle, and most of them are members of the Republican Party. In the White House team, the personnel are all appointed by Ronald Reagan. Jim Baker, unsurprisingly, became the Chief of Staff of the White House. The most important difference is: James Brady, the White House spokesperson. Director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers: John Rutridge. Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs: Richard Allen. Director of the White House Administration and Budget Bureau: David Stockman. Senior Advisor to the President of the White House: Rhodes Saxon. ¡­¡­ There are a total of twenty-three senior members of the White House, and these twenty-three have a prefix-Assistant to the President. Although Rhodes Saxon relied on Xia Yu''s guidance to perform well this month, he won the favor of Ronald Reagan, and he also had Xia Yu''s support. But the time is still too short. I still haven''t competed with John Rutridge, and haven''t won the position of director of the White House Economic Committee. But he still ranks among the top officials of the White House and won the post of senior adviser to the president. Not only that, it seems to be to give Rhodes Saxon a fairer platform and to give Xia Yu an explanation. Rhodes Saxon, a senior economic adviser, also has his own team, not alone with John Rattle. The White House Council of Economic Advisers, led by Richie, competed. In Xia Yu''s view, the only difference is that the White House can only have one Economic Advisory Committee brand. If it can have two, it is estimated that Ronald Reagan will give each of them one. But this is obviously impossible, unless Ronald Reagan wants to be mocked by the major media. Xia Yu also noticed a special person, that is Ronald Reagan''s former butler William J. Casey, not only a member of the White House, but also served as the director of the CIA. Not only that, but he was also allowed to sit in the cabinet, apparently Ronald Reagan''s confidant! After Ronald Reagan finished his inauguration, a luncheon was officially started inside the Capitol. All the guests who could enter were specially invited guests. Of course, the American people outside went back to their homes. But because Ronald Reagan will hold an inauguration procession after the luncheon, the luncheon will not be too long. Xia Yu simply ate a little and was asked to communicate with him. Many people are interested in him. Get a familiar face first. Xia Yu will not go to the inaugural parade in the afternoon. After the luncheon, he returned to the mansion purchased in Washington. Just as Ronald Reagan began the inaugural march, the new US government appointed by Ronald Reagan officially began to operate. The first executive order signed by Ronald Reagan was officially implemented. This executive order No. 12287 announced the lifting of oil prices and distribution controls. The most obvious purpose of this administrative order is to target the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Obviously, for today¡¯s oil market, the U.S. government, the oil consortium and Wall Street capitalists behind it must have greater control, to further forge U.S. oil hegemony, and to solve U.S. The issue of inflation. Previously, the U.S. government was in need of controlling inflation and guaranteeing energy security. The strict and complicated oil price control measures implemented by the U.S. government have weakened U.S. oil rights, increased the vulnerability of U.S. oil security, and restricted the U.S. Maneuver space for foreign policy. According to the provisions of the executive order, this executive order will be formally implemented on January 28, when U.S. oil prices will truly be in line with world oil prices, and then U.S. oil prices will be completely dominated by the market. But who dominates is a bad idea. After all, the oil countries have been destroyed by the United States a lot, and the oil of many countries has been pegged to the US dollar! Although it will take eight days to implement this decree, Song Yang, Xue He and others in front of the TV of Galaxy Fund Company are already excited. The result of their curiosity for a day turned out to be this, which can definitely stimulate a surge in US oil prices. Sure enough, when they went to look at the price of oil futures, they had already begun to skyrocket, and the upward momentum was several times higher than before. easily broke the 34 USD/barrel line and quickly climbed to 35 USD/barrel. In a short period of time, the Galaxy Fund¡¯s oil futures have increased by 100 million US dollars. When Song Yang, Xue He and others were watching oil futures prices closely. There is another news broadcast by the CNN news channel that stimulated the American people and made them cheer for Ronald Reagan, that is, Iran announced the release of the American hostage held before it. Xia Yu knew that this was agreed upon by the Republican Party and the top Iranians long ago, in order to further enhance Ronald Reagan''s prestige. As the sun gradually sets westward, the people of Washington can only change the place of celebration from outdoor to indoor. Xia Yu was in a suit and leather shoes, holding the invitation letter, and drove to the Washington Convention Center. PS: The writing of this chapter is too difficult, after all, it is a pity that I did not attend Reagan¡¯s inauguration o(¨s¡õ¨t)o The end of the month, ask for a ticket! Don''t waste it! v3 Chapter 920: 4 consortiums behind the scenes Although tonight''s dance party at the Washington Convention Center officially started at seven o''clock in the evening, Xia Yu knew very well that tonight''s party was actually two, or two levels. The largest conference hall in the Washington Convention Center can hold 20,000 to 30,000 people. Although the ball held in this conference hall is one of the three official dances to celebrate the inauguration of the president, it is widely oriented and the threshold for participation is not low. , But it is not the highest, mainly for middle and high-level forces supporting Ronald Reagan. According to the past practice, new presidents usually come to this ball to show up for a few minutes. Yomo leads a dance, and then disappears after a few words, led by other senior officials in the White House or the Republican Party. Xia Yu certainly didn''t come to this kind of dance party. He participated in the heavyweight ball held in the internal medium-sized conference room. Those who can get the invitation letter to the ball are almost the people who stand at the pinnacle of the United States, such as the super sponsor behind Ronald Reagan, or the major super The person in charge of the group. In the face of these people, even Ronald Reagan must be accompanied by heart. He will be here for most of the night. Other people with political ambitions also want to squeeze into this ball. If they can establish relationships with or further exchanges with a few super funders and consortium owners, then they will be able to have political ambitions in the future. The more help, the more likely to succeed. When Xia Yu''s car drove outside the Washington Convention Center, he saw a long line coming out from the door, and the ball hadn''t all entered yet. Xia Yu¡¯s car did not stop. In the enviable eyes of the people in the line, he drove to another checkpoint. Facing the security personnel intercepting at the intersection, Xia Yu rolled down the car window and handed out an invitation. Yu bowed slightly, then respectfully opened the bayonet to let Xia Yu''s car enter through the special passage. Only guests like Xia Yu are eligible to park in the garage of the Washington Convention Center. After verifying the invitation letter to the security personnel at the entrance of the Washington Convention Center, Xia Yu walked in. Along the VIP passage, Xia Yu came to the medium-sized conference room on the inner floor. As soon as he entered, he immediately noticed that some people were observing him obscurely or calmly. Xia Yu didn''t change her face, walked in without any haste, and scanned the meeting room quickly. It¡¯s either dancing or talking, but the purpose is the same. Take this opportunity to expand your network. Most of the people holding red wine glasses and talking are middle-aged and elderly people. There are not many young people dancing, but it is certain that they are all outstanding descendants of large families. Their parents will bring them together to expand their contacts through this platform. See you world. It''s just that these people are either white or black, and whites make up the vast majority. In addition, Xia Yu has only one with black hair and yellow skin! It''s not that no one recognizes Xia Yu, but it''s not just because of the joke mentality or the resistance mentality. In short, no one other than the waiter took the initiative to come forward to talk to Xia Yu. At this moment, Ronald Reagan, who was talking with others, felt strange. After seeing Xia Yu, he immediately confessed to the person beside him, and then held his wife with a warm smile on his face. Many people were surprised. In his eyes, he walked quickly towards Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, good evening, welcome to you!" "Good evening, Mr. President!" "Ms. Nancy, congratulations on becoming the first lady!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Thank you!" Nancy Davis Reagan smiled kindly and said. Ronald Reagan hugged Xia Yu and then let go. This kind of etiquette used to express intimacy between acquaintances and friends was made on this occasion. Many people who were following were a little surprised. Adjusting Xia Yu''s position in his mind, he secretly guessed what the relationship between this Asian and Ronald Reagan was. "Mr. Xia, didn''t you bring a female companion?" Ronald Reagan asked with some confusion. Generally speaking, when attending a dance party on a formal occasion, one will bring a female companion. There is no limit to wife, relatives or friends, and it is rare to come alone. Of course, very few does not mean there is no. As the host of the dance party, at this time, you need to avoid as much as possible from the guests who come alone. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I have very few female friends in the United States. They came in a hurry, so I came here alone, don''t you mind?" Ronald Reagan shook his head and smiled: "Of course I don''t mind." After finishing, he turned his head and said to his wife Nancy Davis: "My dear, there is a young lady coming with my parents tonight. To avoid the loneliness of our closest friend, you have to pay attention." Nancy Davis Reagan nodded naturally, blinked at Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, I will introduce you later." Faced with this kind of kindness, Xia Yu could only shook his head dumbfoundingly, shrugged and said, "Well, I don''t think I can refuse your kindness." "Hahaha..." Ronald Reagan chuckled softly. "Mr. Xia, please come with us. I will introduce some friends to you." After that, Ronald Reagan took his wife and walked side by side with Xia Yu into the crowd. "I would like to introduce to everyone, this is my friend, Mr. Xia Yuxia." "Good evening, Mr. Xia!" "Nice to meet you!" ¡­¡­ Looking at a few people around, Xia Yu immediately took out his own business cards printed with the chairman of Polaris Capital and sent them to everyone around him. Others handed their business cards to Xia Yu with the same attitude and introduced themselves. In the process of receiving the business card, Xia Yu quickly remembered their names, and then showed strong communicative skills, long-sleeved dancing, chatting and laughing with everyone, and narrowing the distance with others without making a sound. It''s just that Xia Yu ignores other people''s temptations and topic traps lightly, which will neither make people embarrassed nor get information from others. He knew very well that after seeing Ronald Reagan treating him so solemnly, many people wanted to know his true details and his relationship with Ronald Reagan. But he has no obligation to satisfy their curiosity. Those who should know will naturally know, such as David Rockefeller among the big guys. Those who don''t have the ability to know, then there is no need to know. At this moment, Xia Yu noticed some commotion in the conference room and quickly glanced around and found that most people were looking at the few people who came in at the door. Ronald Reagan and his wife, who were socializing in other places, also Several other guests quickly went out to greet them. is David Rockefeller! When he saw the face of the man in the middle, Xia Yu immediately recognized it. He thought that David Rockefeller hadn''t arrived yet, but he didn''t expect that he would arrive right after he finished his words. It can be said that as David Rockefeller walked in, the heaviest figure of the ball was here! The boss behind the Republican Party, the top figure of the American pyramid! As for the people next to him, Xia Yu also recognized his youngest son Richard Rockefeller and his wife. The arrival of such a heavyweight person can be said to have attracted the attention of everyone in the ball. Almost everyone wants to get in there, especially those who are determined to enter politics. Of course, if anyone in this dance party doesn''t want to join in, it can only be Xia Yu. Xia Yu was hidden in the crowd, watching the various forms of sentient beings calmly. David Rockefeller was surrounded by people. After asking Ronald Reagan a few words, he was rushed into the center of the ball, so he did not see Xia Yu. After David Rockefeller arrived, half a minute later, two small groups of people came in successively, which also attracted huge attention. Ronald Reagan accompanied David Rockefeller, so George Herbert Walker Bush The vice president took on the job of welcoming heavy guests. The Mellon family is currently at the helm, Richard King Mellon and several younger generations. Ramot DuPont Copeland, the fifth-generation head of the DuPont family, and his eldest son Roy DuPont and his wife. All of a sudden, the leaders of the four traditional forces behind the Republican Party suddenly came to three. As for another representative of the Texas consortium behind the Republican Party, he has already come before, there are two people. One of them is George Herbert Walker Bush, the head of the Bush family Of course, although the Bush family is one of the core families in the Texas consortium, they joined later Yes, the status within the consortium is relatively low, but after all, the Bush family¡¯s achievements in the political field are the most prominent among the Texas consortium. Of course, the position is even more special. It can use the entire Texas consortium¡¯s political sphere. Influence. As for another person who can truly represent the Texas consortium, he is the head of the McKison family, the strongest of the five founding families-Cody Moore McKison. It''s just that the McKison family is not like the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, and the DuPont family as the real power holders of the consortium, so the strength and status of the McKison family are much worse than these three. But on this occasion, the McKison family came on behalf of the Texas consortium, and it¡¯s no problem to stand with Richard King Mellon, Ramot Dupont Copeland and David Rockefeller. . These four people, plus President Ronald Reagan, Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush, and Republican Party leader Benjamin Carr, a total of seven people. After the seven gathered in the center of the ball, they instantly became the focus of the ball. At this time, everyone in the party knew that the heavyweights who should come are here, and those who enter later are no longer worth paying attention to. The atmosphere of the dance party tonight is rapidly heating up, quickly approaching the climax. PS: In the last 12 hours, no more votes will be wasted! v3 Chapter 921: Bush Energy Company Xia Yu was walking around carrying a red wine glass, talking with other people and exchanging business cards. Regardless of whether the people present are opposed to Xia Yu, a young yellow man, when he is not clear about Xia Yu''s true details, no one will offend him, and everyone smiles friendly. If you are interested in him, talk a few more words. If you are not interested, just simply greet a few words and change your business card and continue talking with other people. I don¡¯t know when, as the music of the dance becomes more melodious, more and more men and women dance lightly. Xia Yu glanced around and found that the person talking had already been seated in the leisure area around the meeting room, giving the venue to the dancing guests. He smiled slightly, and finished his last sip of red wine with others, and returned to the food area to pour some red wine. He just wanted to find a corner with an empty seat while holding the glass, but he happened to see the resting area not far away. David Rockefeller happened to be there. Yaoyao raised a glass to him, seeming to be inviting him over. Xia Yu glanced away, and found that the group sitting with David Rockefeller was the top boss in the ball, Ronald Reagan was also there. But Xia Yu was not in the slightest, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and walked over with a calm and steady step. "Mr. Xia, we meet again!" "Mr. Rockefeller, it is an honor to see you again!" "ßÑ!" After a simple greeting, the two gently touched their glasses and took a sip of red wine. With such a simple action, Xia Yu could feel the people around him watching him with scrutiny eyes. Ronald Reagan did not expect David Rockefeller to meet Xia Yu, and there was a hint of searching in his eyes. David Rockefeller smiled and asked: "Mr. Xia, do you need me to introduce you?" Xia Yu smiled and declined and said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother you. If I don¡¯t know the gentlemen sitting here, then I¡¯m not qualified to do business in the United States.¡± "Mr. Mellon, Mr. DuPont, Mr. McKison, Mr. Carl, hello, I am honored to meet you, my name is Xia Yu, this is my business card, please accept it!" Whenever he said a name, Xia Yu looked at the person calmly to show respect, and when he said that, he took out four business cards and handed them to them. All four of them smiled and picked them up. After watching for a second or two, they took them into their pockets. At the same time, each took out a business card and handed it to Xia Yu. As for George Herbert Walker Bush, he is not here at this time. Xia Yu just saw him go dancing with his wife Barbara. Mr. Vice President who is in his fifties is quite enthusiastic, and he is here to show his affection. As for Ronald Reagan, Xia Yu just nodded and smiled at him. Instead, Ronald Reagan smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I just know you know Mr. Rockefeller." Xia Yu smiled slightly, looked at David Rockefeller, and said, "I was fortunate enough to be advised by Mr. Rockefeller before, and he did me a favor." Just when Ronald Reagan and the others were a little surprised, David Rockefeller immediately exposed Xia Yu and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia''s words, you are right to listen to him the other way around. I can''t point him." This is something that came out of David Rockefeller¡¯s mouth. Lamot Dupont Copeland and Cody Moore McKison, who knows Xia Yu least about, have decided to go back and explore Xia Yu¡¯s bottom. , What is the qualification for David Rockefeller to treat this way? On the contrary, Richard King Mellon smiled for a while, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Xia, is the Galaxy Fund your company?" Xia Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "Not exactly, it''s just that there are some shares there." Richard King Mellon nodded inconspicuously, then looked at David Rockefeller, and said, "David, Phillip Brothers and Salomon Brothers were originally acquired by you and Mr. Xia?" David Rockefeller didn¡¯t know what he was calculating, and said with a smile: ¡°I¡¯m just taking a little share casually. Mr. Xia has deep research in investment.¡± When everyone was astonished, Richard King Mellon immediately said to Xia Yu with a serious expression: "Mr. Xia, I have known David for decades. Only a handful of people have received such a high evaluation from him. We have a chance. Have a good chat." Xia Yu immediately nodded and accepted the olive branch thrown by Richard King Mellon: "This is my honour. Many people have no chance to cooperate with Mellon. I think I have no reason to refuse." Richard King Mellon shook his head and chuckled, and said what Xia Yu didn''t believe at all: "The news from the outside is very ridiculous. In fact, the Mellon family is very happy to make friends, but many people have this idea but lack the courage. " After speaking, he brought up the wine glass to clink with Xia Yu. Compared with the more traditional DuPont family who likes to marry close relatives, the Mellon family, which rises later but is more powerful, is more open. The family business has also implemented the manager system for a long time, but this does not mean making friends with the Mellon family. It will be very simple, no matter how forgiving, after all, the word profit is inseparable. For the worthless people, the top big capitalists like them simply disdain to waste even a second of time. Next, Ramot Dupont Copeland tried to get to know Ronald Reagan and Xia Yu, but neither of them revealed anything. This is a secret between the two. How others guess is one thing, and telling the truth is another thing. Ronald Reagan will not naively throw the handle out, even if he is facing his other supporters. He still has a defensive heart. In the next ten minutes, David Rockefeller and others chatted about some topics. Although many people outside were interested in it, in Xia Yu''s opinion, he was of little value. He seldom interrupted, and basically others asked him. He only talked a few words at that time. After a while, Benjamin Carr took the lead, and everyone dispersed. Xia Yu went to other places after chatting with Ronald Reagan. It is said that David Rockefeller and others are the focus of the prom. Xia Yu sat down with them and chatted for more than ten minutes. Naturally, many people saw him. Xia Yu¡¯s weight is infinitely high in their hearts. Many people who received Xia Yu¡¯s business card decided to collect this card, and maybe they can cooperate with Xia Yu in the future. While walking along the road, Xia Yu obviously felt that the attitudes of other people were more enthusiastic and sincere, and he didn''t need to take the initiative to send out business cards. Others consciously and enthusiastically talked with him and exchanged business cards. Although he didn''t figure out what David Rockefeller was thinking, he was so praising him, but it is undeniable that it is really good for him. Regardless of whether he is a sugar-coated cannonball, eat up the sugar first! When I just passed a sofa, I saw the person sitting there, Xia Yu paused, and walked straight towards the person. The person sitting on the sofa immediately looked at Xia Yu. "Mr. Bush, are there anyone else sitting here?" Xia Yu pointed to a place beside him and asked with a smile George Walker Bush, the eldest son of the current vice president. As the next generation of elites in the Bush family, Bush Jr. is thirty-five years old this year. He is a veteran in interpersonal communication. He has already noticed Xia Yu and learned about Xia Yu from his father Bush Sr., not to mention. He just captured the scene of Xia Yu talking and laughing with David Rockefeller and Richard King Mellon and others. So he immediately got up and said in a friendly manner: "Of course, there is no one sitting in this position, please feel free!" "Thank you!" "Get to know, I am Xia Yu, this is my business card!" "Mr. Xia, it is an honor to meet you, this is my business card!" After exchanging business cards, Xia Yu saw Bush¡¯s introduction on the business card, which read "Chairman of Bush Energy Company" and a series of phone numbers below. At this time, Bush Jr. was indeed engaged in the oil industry. After he failed to run for the House of Representatives in Texas in 1978, he opened this company, but it is currently only a small energy company. Xia Yu knows Bush¡¯s future path. His father Bush Sr. entered politics after working in the oil field for 20 years, and he will formally enter the political arena after ten years of hard work in the oil field. He will become a member of his father''s presidential campaign team and eventually reach the top step by step. It¡¯s just that Bush¡¯s work experience in the oil field is not as successful as his father¡¯s, and it can even be said to have been "failed repeatedly." By 1984, he had to merge the Bush Energy Company he founded with other companies. He only served as a director. . Fortunately, the oil business of the Bush family does not depend on him. There are also several brothers of Bush Sr., as well as the brothers and cousins ??of Bush Jr., not bad for him. But if it succeeds, who wants to fail? In Xia Yu''s view, whether it is for the layout of the oil field or to deepen the relationship with the Bush family, it is definitely a good idea to cooperate with Bush Jr. to operate an oil company! Now the Bush family is not the pinnacle of the two presidents, and the Bush family¡¯s oil empire has not yet enjoyed policy dividends and its scale has skyrocketed. At this time, it is simply a good time to connect with the Bush family! This Bush Energy Company is only owned by Bush Jr. It is just a small company, very suitable for cooperation, but it can also develop with the resources of the Bush family. Therefore, Xia Yu provoked the topic, knowingly asked: "Mr. Bush, did you start this company yourself?" Bush nodded immediately: "Yes, it has just been established for more than two years, but it inevitably borrowed some of the family''s resources." Xia Yu said dismissively: "This does not affect a person''s ability ~ www.novelhall.com~ The rational use of resources is what a smart person should do." "If I have family resources, I will definitely use them as much as possible, but it is a pity." Speaking of this, Xia Yu shrugged freely. These words deliberately said by Xia Yu immediately aroused Bush''s curiosity. He said with a look of exploration, "Mr. Xia, is it because you created your own business now?" Just now, his father just told him a little bit of information about Xia Yu. For example, Xia Yu is the chairman of Polaris Capital in San Francisco. He is a very capable person and has a good relationship with President Ronald Reagan. This information was just learned by Bush Sr. at this ball. Ronald Reagan hadn''t told Bush Sr. about it before. It''s normal for Bush Jr. to not know. Xia Yu calmly said, "You can say that, because I was lucky, I stumbled all the way to this point." PS: Some people wonder why there are "you" and "you" in the dialogue in many chapters, thinking that I am not rigorous in writing, but it is not the case. If you observe carefully, you will find that when the protagonist talks with Americans, both parties are called " You", when the Chinese talk to the protagonist, they usually use "you", but if the status is much lower than the protagonist, the protagonist will use "you" instead of "you". (In English, unlike Chinese, which distinguishes "you" and "you", they all have the same meaning as "you") (no charge if the number of characters is not up to the standard) :. : v3 Chapter 922: Mellon family / "Mr. Xia, I have heard of Polaris Capital. It has been established for a short time, but the investment has always been amazing. Those who can become the chairman of this level of company are basically financial elites over the age of fifty." "But if you attribute your strength to luck, then I would rather believe that you are the illegitimate child of God." Although Bush Jr. spoke in a joke, his tone was so solemn. After speaking, he asked again: "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, you should be less than twenty years old this year?" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head: "Not yet." "Then you should not have gone to college." "Yes, family conditions are difficult, so we can only get out of society early and work hard." "Then you are a genius among geniuses. Your experience and achievements are admirable. When I was your age, I would only hang around in college and fall in love. I suddenly felt very ashamed." ¡­¡­ The future President Bush Jr. is famous for his humor, but in fact, at this age, he is already so. Both seem to be familiar with each other. Bush speaks witty and humorous. Xia Yu can see people and talk, **** and hell, and the two talked a lot before they knew it. "Cheers to our knowledge!" "It should be so!" "ßÑ!" "Hahahaha..." After clinking glasses and drinking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship got closer. Both of them leaned on the sofa casually, looking at the men and women dancing in the center of the dance floor with an admiring attitude and posture. Of course, to be more precise, you should appreciate those beautiful ladies. According to social research in later generations, two men get together, no matter where the topic starts, 90% will talk about women... Xia Yu still wanted to cooperate with Bush Jr. So he provoked the topic again: "Mr. Bush, now the global oil price is skyrocketing, you have an oil company, this is your feast." "Oil is the blood of industry after all, and now that the price of oil is so high, I want to enter the oil field when I want to try. If I have the opportunity, can I visit your company?" When Bush Jr. heard the previous sentence, he still wanted to brag, but when Xia Yu came out, he swallowed what he was about to say in embarrassment. He knows exactly what is going on with his Bush Energy Company. Just looking at the business card, he will definitely think it is taller, but it''s just a feather. If Xia Yuzhen went to visit, the bigger he is now, the more embarrassing he will be in the future. Therefore, he turned his mind and shrugged his shoulders happily, and said to himself: "It is indeed a feast for oil practitioners, but unfortunately, I am not qualified to participate. My company has been exploring for oil and gas in Texas. Natural gas, but unfortunately, no oil has been explored so far." "Texas is the most oil-rich state in the United States. I believe that as long as it is willing to invest, oil will always be explored." Xia Yu said with a smile. Bush smiled a bit bitterly, and smiled reluctantly: "Maybe, who will say it in the future, oil exploration is too lucky." When his father was exploring oil in Midland, Texas, the probability of finding oil was 137 to 1. This is still very fortunate. It is called "a hundred shots and a hundred hits", and it is still two. More than ten years ago! As for his Bush Energy Company, without counting the idle year in 1978, in the two years from 1979 to the present, more than 300 plots of land have been explored, which has spent two of the three million dollars that the company was founded. More than 1.8 million, and no oil field has been explored so far, which is incomparable to his father Bush Sr. Now the company is spending money every day of its operation. If no more oil is discovered, then his Bush Energy Company will go bankrupt! He is embarrassed now facing those shareholders and his uncle Jonathan Bush. After all, after he graduated from Harvard Business School and got an MBA, it was his uncle Jonathan Bush who brought in more than 20 shareholders for his Bush Energy Company. The total shareholder investment reached three million US dollars. None of the cents of profits were made, which is simply a shame to the Bush family. Unless he explored a valuable dough stick before the company went bankrupt. Otherwise, he will have to find a way to continue to invest in his Bush Energy Company. No matter what, he will not let the Bush Energy Company go bankrupt, and the Bush family cannot shame this face! "Oil exploration is indeed very important. After all, it has been more than a hundred years since the discovery of oil in Texas. People have been exploring for oil in Texas and have basically been explored. Now the difficulty of exploration Too high, the success rate is too low!" "But as long as you buy the latest exploration machines and invest in exploration, you will always find oil." After Xia Yu sighed, she said encouragingly. Although it was an encouraging word, Bush was even more uncomfortable in his ears. Xia Yu is easy to say, but the most important thing is that there is no money to continue gambling! At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly asked with interest: "Mr. Bush, I just want to get into the oil industry. I wonder if your company is willing to accept new shareholders?" Bush was taken aback, then nodded without hesitation: "Of course welcome, Mr. Xia, would you like to invest in my company?" "Of course, I don''t know how big your company is?" Xia Yu nodded surely. Bush Jr. weighed it in his mind for a moment and said: "Although my company has not yet discovered oil, it has leased a lot of land and other assets. I quoted it currently worth about 8 million US dollars." For this price, Xia Yu knew that Bush had made a false report, but he didn''t care. It was nothing more than an overstatement of one or two million dollars, which was a small amount to him. Being able to invest in Bush Jr. to create a relationship between the two is the biggest gain! He asked directly: "Since you say it is worth eight million dollars, then it is worth eight million dollars. Just don''t know how much equity can be given out?" Xia Yu''s trust made Bush a little surprised, but also warmed his heart. He thought for a while and said: "At least 10%, if more, I have to discuss with other shareholders before there is a result." Xia Yu frowned, and said disgustedly: "Ten percent is too little and boring." He immediately asked again: "By the way, Mr. Bush, I don''t know how many shareholders your company currently has?" Bush Jr. said truthfully: "Twenty-four shareholders." Xia Yu raised his brows and pretended to be surprised and said, "So many?" "Then I don''t know if any shareholders are willing to transfer their equity? I want to buy their equity!" Bush Jr. felt a little eager in his heart. Of course he knew that most of the shareholders were not interested in his equity in the Bush Energy Company. Now he is unwilling to withdraw voluntarily because of the face of the Bush family. And because the investment funds are relatively small, generally in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, the money is not much for the big guys. He estimated that by this time, many people are ready to fight. If he is willing to help Xia Yu buy, I believe many shareholders will gladly accept it. He thought for a while, and said in appropriate words: "I''m not sure now, I have to ask them to find out." "I don''t know how much equity do you hope to get, Mr. Xia?" Xia Yu immediately replied: "At least 45%. If all shareholders are willing to transfer, it is best to reach 50%. We are half of us. What do you think?" "Mr. Xia is so optimistic about my company?" Bush asked in surprise. In Texas, there are not too many oil companies like him that have not yet produced results. Oil exploration is a very risky gambling, so as long as there is no oil field, no amount of equity is required. Value, on the contrary, represents the need to invest more money. Many people will not invest money in an oil exploration company. If an old cowboy who explores oil in Texas is given one million dollars, he will invest at least ten hundred thousand dollars in ten promising oil exploration companies, or even spread it out to specific exploration projects. Not to invest in one company. Although this method of diversification of investment does not guarantee super wealth overnight, it can greatly increase the probability of success, allow one''s investment to appreciate, have more money to roll, and accumulate wealth step by step. Now... After all, it is not the era when oil was released from a single drill more than a hundred years ago! "Of course, I think you are more likely to succeed than others! I believe in your luck too!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Bush Jr. was silent, and even more inclined to think that Xia Yu wanted to cooperate with the Bush family through him. He encountered many situations like this. However, he really has no reason to refuse Xia Yu''s request to send money to his door. He needs funds too much! Therefore, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Xia, I still need you to wait for my news. I will call you when the time comes. "no problem!" "But it must be as soon as possible. I plan to leave the United States in early February. I don''t know how many months I will have to wait before returning." "Okay, I will as soon as possible." Speaking of this, there is no need to say more. Xia Yu once again toasted with Bush and had some wine, looking forward to future cooperation. "Mr. Xia, my wife beckoned to me. Let me do some dances first." "Ok!" After watching Bush enter the dance floor, Xia Yu looked around boredly and found that the surrounding area was relatively empty. Obviously, he was talking to Bush just now, and the people around him sat far away politely so as not to disturb them. At this moment, he found that someone was walking like himself, and not one, but five, two men and three women. Xia Yu recognized the two men and one woman among them, and he came in with Richard King Mellon just now, maybe they were Richard King Mellon¡¯s children. As for the other two young ladies, he did not recognize them. When ¡¡¡¡ walked to Xia Yu''s place, one of the young people who looked older said hello to Xia Yu, and then five people sat down one after another. "Can you meet me? This is Leonard Mellon. Here is my business card." Hearing his name, Xia Yu immediately remembered that this young man in his twenties was the third son of Richard King Mellon. "Of course, my name is Xia Yu, this is my business card." Xia Yu said with a smile, and exchanged business cards with him. After he started, the other three women and one man also talked with him amicably. Xia Yu also gave business cards and learned the identity of each other from their names. One of the boys, who is obviously about 18 or 9 years old, is Woodlaw Mellon, Ronald Mellon¡¯s own brother, and Richard King Mellon¡¯s fourth son. According to the memory of his previous life, Xia Yu knows a lot about the Mellon family. The current head Richard King Mellon has eight children, four sons and four daughters. Among them, the eldest son Richard Mellon Skeff, who does not like family business at all, is not interested in rights, and likes art and charity. Richard King Mellon is very disappointed. The second son, Timothy Mellon, was passionate about computer technology and went to create a computer company by himself. He was obviously not a qualified heir to the family, and he was disappointed by Richard King Mellon. On the contrary, it was the third son Leonard Mellon and the fourth son Woodrow Mellon deeply accepting the love of Chad King Mellon, because these two sons were very smart and worked very hard. They were determined to grow the family since childhood. Is very interested in his career. But these two sons are both old and good. In the previous life, when Richard King Mellon passed away, these two sons were too young to be qualified for the next generation. The head of Richard King Mellon comes from his uncle Andrew Mellon, because his cousin Paul Mellon also dislikes full power and is keen on horse racing and art. . Paul Mellon doesn''t like it, doesn''t mean his sons don''t like it. When Richard King Mellon was still there, Paul Mellon¡¯s sons were afraid to put a fart. But when Richard King Mellon passed away, his son had not been able to successfully become a qualified head, and the Mellon family eventually became loose. is to benefit from family trusts and charitable funds, so as not to split the Mellon family and allow the Mellon consortium to continue to exist. But the Mellon family lacks a head, and the Mellon consortium with the Mellon family as the sole core naturally lacks people who can make a decision. Therefore, since the death of Richard King Mellon, even though Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon worked very hard, they could only maintain the Mellon Consortium not disintegrating, but the influence and strength of the Mellon Consortium continued. taken over. Except for Xia Yu¡¯s special enchantment, where is the little fox the old fox¡¯s opponent! From this we can see how important is for the cultivation of offspring. It takes at least 20 years to cultivate a offspring! Get back to the subject. Among the five people, in addition to the two brothers Leonard Mellon and Woodlow Mellon, one of them is Sandy Mellon. Xia Yu is estimated to be around twenty years old, and is the youngest of Richard King Mellon. His daughter is older than Leonard Mellon and younger than Woodrow Mellon. As for the other two girls, named Susan Anthony and Renee Camilla, they are both about 20 years old. In terms of words and deeds, they are completely in line with the temperament of the descendants of the big family. "Mr. Xia, I saw you chatting with my father and Mr. David Rockefeller just now. I really admire you." Leonard Mellon has a high level of self-cultivation, looks at Xia Yu sincerely, and says with admiration. His words caught the attention of the other four people, especially when the three beautiful girls all looked at him with curious eyes. If they were ordinary people, Xia Yu would barely keep his heartbeat faster. With a smile on his mouth, he asked, "Why do you say that?" Leonard Mellon said immediately: "Even if I face my father, I am very uncomfortable. If I face Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. DuPont, I don''t know what to say, but you can talk to them and laugh, I If you want to have your level of performance, I don¡¯t know how many years to exercise."

Thank you! v3 Chapter 923: Look at the highest point in the world "Haha, why should you feel uncomfortable?" "Actually, as long as you don''t want to think too much, then you can talk and laugh in front of them now." "Others fear their power and expect to cooperate with them, so you have to talk with them carefully, but the Mellon family itself is not inferior to them. You only need to respect them without fear, so what''s so terrible about them?" Xia Yu said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Leonard Mellon''s face was thoughtful. At this moment, Leonard Mellon¡¯s younger brother Woodrow Mellon suddenly asked curiously: ¡°Mr. Xia, which big family do you come from?¡± Xia Yu looked at him, smiled and shook his head: "No, I''m just an ordinary person." Woodrow Mellon asked, "Then what you just said is invalid." Xia Yu smiled faintly and looked at Woodrow Mellon. The boy, who was obviously only eighteen or nineteen years old, did not hear the hidden meaning in his words. At this moment, Woodrow Mellon''s sister Sandy Mellon suddenly blinked her deep blue eyes that were as deep and charming as the ocean, looked at Xia Yu with curiosity, and said in a soft and light voice: "Woodlow, what Mr. Xia said to his elder brother is not on the family. What he means is that he is not afraid of the power of Rockefeller and DuPont, nor has he thought of seeking cooperation with them. Without desire, he is fearless and can treat them calmly. ." This is to clarify her younger brother Woodlow Mellon, but her gaze is looking straight at Xia Yu, and she is also asking Xia Yu to verify her statement. Xia Yu laughed and did not answer, but Sandy Mellon knew that Xia Yu had acquiesced. This made her more curious about Xia Yu, how strong Xia Yu¡¯s heart is, so that he can look at the figure standing at the top of the pyramid of the world. Is he confident that he will be able to stand on the same level as Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. DuPont in the future? This is incredible! Among so many people of the same age since childhood, the yellow-skinned boy in front of her was the first such confident boy she met. Seeing Sandi Mellon observing herself curiously, Xia Yu calmly looked at the beautiful and noble girl in front of her with admiration. He couldn''t help but compare Sandy Mellon with Elena. In terms of temperament, both of them are from a big family and both have good tutors. They also naturally exude noble temperament in their words and actions. The difference is that Elena feels like an intellectual woman, full of wisdom and beauty. Her elegant manners make people pleasing to the eye at first sight, and she is generous in dealing with others, which makes people feel that she has culture and connotation. As for Sandy Mellon, her face is just like her name "Sandy", like the ancient Greek goddess of the moon Artemis, synonymous with beauty and youthful girls, a beautiful blonde with blue like The sea-like deep and charming eyes are pure and beautiful like a princess, elegant and yet vigorous, and occasionally show curious eyes, and make people feel like an elf, frank and wise. Looking at Sandy Mellon for a long time, Xia Yu noticed that her fair face was a little red, and her curved eyelashes trembled slightly. He secretly smiled in his heart: "Sure enough, I''m still a girl, and I finally know that I am shy." Xia Yu retracted his gaze, and at this time, the pensive Leonard Mellon also finished thinking. He also looked at Xia Yu with a probing gaze and said: "Mr. Xia, you are right, but you know it''s the same thing. Being calm is another matter." Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "I often self-suggest and simulate myself, and I will get used to it with more times. I think Mr. Richard King Mellon must be very happy to see such a scene." Leonard Mellon''s face trembled, and he glanced at Xia Yu deeply, but he secretly wondered. Xia Yu glanced at Woodrow Mellon, who was also thinking, with emotion in his heart. Richard King Mellon¡¯s two sons are both pure and unprepared. Not only do they have a high level of cultivation, but they are also good at thinking. They are both excellent candidates for training as heirs. However, their two grades are still too young, and Richard King Mellon, who is almost 70 years old, must be troubled by this worry. Ignoring the two boring boys, Xia Yu was rarely in a good mood. He chatted with three girls Sandy Mellon, Susan Anthony and Renee Camilla. His tone was humorous and he talked about some topics vividly and interestingly. , Amused the three girls very happy. At this moment, the first lady Nancy Davis Reagan walked over and joked to Xia Yu kindly: "Mr. Xia, I still want to introduce you to your partner, but it seems that I don¡¯t need my help now. Up." "Am I right? Three cute little sweethearts, I believe you will help me entertain him." Nancy Davis Reagan finished speaking to Xia Yu, and then kindly said to Sandy Mellon and other three girls. "Of course, Mrs. Nancy." The three girls immediately got up and said. "Tonight you are the most beautiful princesses in the audience!" "Thank you Madam for your compliment!" Women like to be praised for being beautiful. After hearing the first lady¡¯s praise, the three girls all smiled happily and bowed slightly to thank her. Then, Nancy Davis Reagan pointed the finger at Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, the three beautiful girls should be the focus of the audience. As a gentleman, do you have the heart to hide their beauty in a corner? " This is so blunt, if Xia Yu shrinks again, he will be embarrassed, so he looked at the three girls, and finally fixed his eyes on Sandy Mellon. "Beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance?" Xia Yu bent over, with one hand behind his back, and stretched out his right hand gracefully, with a sunny smile on his face, and his gentlemanly temperament made him attract attention. In the gazes of the two Leonard Mellon brothers and the somewhat disappointed gazes of the other two girls, Sandy Mellon smiled and said softly, "Of course!" While talking, Sandy Mellon put his hand on Xia Yu''s, and the two of them entered the dance floor holding hands. Watching Xia Yu and Sandy Mellon enter the dance floor, Nancy Davis Reagan smiled. The tactful dance music continued to be played, and the dancing people around Xia Yu and Sandy Mellon consciously moved aside to make room for the two of them. "Miss Mellon..." "My friends like to call my name Sandy." "Sorry, beautiful Miss Sandy!" "It doesn''t matter, handsome Mr. Xia Yu!" "You dance really well." "Thank you, your dance steps are also very charming." ¡­¡­ The two held hands and hugged their waists, stepped on gentle dance steps, and chatted softly. His praise was not deliberate at all, and he appeared very sincere. Growing up in the praise of others, Sandi Mellon can easily distinguish between true and false. , The feeling of spring breeze Xia Yu gave her made her more curious about the boy in front of her. Xia Yu is about the same age as her, but he is not from a big family, so are his abilities that are higher than those of his peers innate? Because the two are very close, Xia Yu can admire the beauty of Sandy Mellon up close. Long blond hair is more beautiful and noble, sapphire eyes dotted with white face, vermilion lips are pale pink, revealing a seductive luster, white and smooth shoulders are matched with a pink tube top dress, Xia Yu''s eyes appreciate The color becomes more intense. And Sandy Mellon''s eyes met Xia Yu, but her uneasy mood was undoubtedly exposed by her slightly trembling eyelashes and gradually messy footsteps. After a few dances. Xia Yu and Sandy Mellon returned to their seats, only to find that Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon had gone dancing with the other two girls. To prevent embarrassment, Xia Yu asked Sandi Mellon: "Sendi, do you want something?" Cindy Mellon pursed his lips for a while, and said to Xia Yu: "A glass of red wine will do, thank you!" "Wait a moment!" After that, Xia Yu went to the food area. When he came back, he had already brought a tray with two glasses of red wine on it, as well as a pile of desserts and a pile of fruit. "Thank you! Xia Yu, you are a gentleman!" "Really? Your compliments are genuine and delightful from the heart." "You too!" "ßÑ!" The two touched their glasses, talking and laughing, and took a sip of red wine. "Sandy, are you still in college?" "Yes, I just studied at the University of Pennsylvania last year." "How about you?" After answering, Sandy Mellon looked at Xia Yu curiously and asked. "I haven''t finished high school. I have been out of society for several years." Xia Yu said with a light smile. "Why? Then you are so good, where did you study?" Cindy Mellon raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked again. Xia Yu''s smile did not diminish, and his expression calmly said: "I think the school has taught me enough knowledge. For the path I choose, society is the best university." Xia Yu¡¯s answer surprised Cindy Mellon. She looked at Xia Yu and her gaze flickered. It was obviously very arrogant, but Xia Yu had a natural taste, and at first it made people think It also makes sense. "Then what path did you choose? Do you become an entrepreneur like this now?" Faced with this problem, Xia Yu looked at Sandy Mellon and found that she was staring at her with curiosity. Xia Yu looked towards the center of the dance floor, his eyes became distant and profound, and said lightly: "I just want to see the scenery at the highest point in the world." Xiandi Mellon looked at Xia Yu with a lack of consciousness, and suddenly felt that a cloud of mist suddenly appeared in front of Xia Yu''s originally clear and handsome face, making her unable to see Xia Yu''s true face. She blinked her eyes and became more and more curious in her heart. She was about her age but had such a domineering and lofty dream. She had never seen such a person since she was a child. Even his elder brother and younger brother are determined to grow the family, but they only hope to grow up as soon as possible to become his father''s right-hand man, and finally take over the family smoothly, nothing more! Compared with Xia Yu''s dream, their starting point is far higher than Xia Yu''s dream. She suddenly felt that her brother and younger brother had become very ordinarySandy Mellon was suddenly curious about what kind of environment it was like to cultivate a unique person like Xia Yu. She asked curiously: "Xia Yu, are you Chinese? Where is your hometown?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I am a Chinese. My hometown is half the earth away from Washington, in the southern part of China on the Pacific Ocean, in a place called Xiangjiang." "Xiangjiang?" "Although I have never heard of this place, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit your hometown." Cindy Mellon said expectantly. Xia Yu smiled and said: "Welcome to my hometown. When you come, you must tell me. I will show you the beauty of my hometown. Although there are many imperfections, its future will be bright. " "I believe what you say, because you are in your hometown!" Cindy Mellon suddenly replied in earnest, making Xia Yu startled and then laughed. "Yes, as long as I am here, my hometown will be better and better!" Xia Yu said confidently, a firm look flashed in his eyes. Going back to Xiangjiang this time, what should he do! PS: What is the relationship between the protagonist and the major consortia in the United States in the future? Your comments are welcome, I want to copy the book review!

Everyone supports it! :. : v3 Chapter 924: Reagan Chapter 924 This is a ballroom party. Although Xia Yu feels very happy to chat with Sandy Mellon, it is impossible to chat with her all night. Just when Sandy Mellon left, someone came to chat with Xia Yu with a glass of wine. Slowly, Xia Yu left the recreation area again and wandered around in the party. He estimated that this evening, he received at least two hundred business cards, and several pockets were full. If this trend persists in the future, it is hard to guarantee that he can surpass David Rockefeller in his lifetime. He received more than 300,000 business cards alone, which is enough to sort, collect, organize and fill a room. Unknowingly, it has reached the late stage of the dance, and many people have already left. Xia Yu is also preparing to leave for home. But before going home, he was going to say something to Ronald Reagan. Seeking the opportunity, Xia Yu walked up to Ronald Reagan and whispered: "Mr. Reagan, it is not convenient to talk about it alone." Ronald Reagan was a little surprised, his gaze swept around, and he nodded slightly and said, "Of course, let''s sit there and talk." said, the two came to the rest area in the northeast corner, where no one was there. "Mr. Xia, is there anything wrong with you?" Ronald Reagan asked. Xia Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Reagan, congratulations once again on achieving your political ambitions and becoming the President of the United States." "Thank you!" "But I think there are some things you have to pay attention to. This involves your life safety." Hearing about his own life, Ronald Reagan frowned, his expression became solemn, and asked: "Mr. Xia, did you hear any news?" Xia Yu shook his head: "No, but I think it''s best to wear a body armor when you go out, and the security forces need to be strengthened!" "In the entire United States, not everyone supports you to be president, and the proliferation of guns in the United States makes it difficult to manage social security. Many people carry guns when they go out." "Whether it was Kennedy eighteen years ago or Ford six years ago, there have been shootings. Fortunately, President Ford is fine." "After all, you have just taken office, so it is inevitable that some people will be angry. What actions they will make are unpredictable, but they are very likely to happen!" Ronald Reagan nodded solemnly, "You are right, thank you for your reminder, I will strengthen my strength in this area." Seeing Ronald Reagan listened to it, Xia Yu smiled and said: "That''s all I want to say, Mr. Reagan, we will have time to communicate again in the future!" "Okay, you are always welcome, my friend!" "It''s getting late, I''ll go back first." "I will give it to you!" "No, there are so many guests here. You should take good care of them. We don''t need to be so polite." "Ok!" After speaking, Ronald Reagan shook hands with Xia Yu, and then watched Xia Yu walk to the door. Before reaching the door, Xia Yu happened to pass by Richard King Mellon''s family. Xia Yu stopped and chatted with him. He also amicably bid farewell to Sandy Mellon and her brother and younger brother. It disappeared at the corner. On the way back, Xia Yu looked at the empty street through the car window, his thoughts diverging unconsciously. There are few people on the road in the United States at night, and it seems very lonely, but this is the norm in the United States, because the United States at night is very insecure. After all, in the United States, where everyone has a gun, walking on the street at night is easy to be targeted, either robbed or... Anyway, anything can happen. Compared with the United States, although Xiangjiang is messy now, it is much better. At least there are still many people on Xiangjiang Road at night, and food stalls dare to open. As for the mainland, not to mention, walking around at night, many people can''t sleep without opening the door. For a long time, Xia Yu shook his head slightly, and collected his thoughts, secretly thinking that with his reminder, Ronald Reagan would not be nearly killed in this life. According to the tricks of the previous life, Ronald Reagan was assassinated just after a speech just after taking office, and about a month later, he was shot in the left chest, and the bullet almost hit the heart. . With his interference in this life, Ronald Reagan¡¯s fate must have been affected, and Xia Yu is not sure whether Ronald Reagan will be assassinated again. But for him, Ronald Reagan was killed, for him there was only harm and no benefit. He finally invested in Ronald Reagan and has a close relationship with him. In the future, Ronald Reagan will be in a better position in the United States any day, and it will also benefit his career development and beauty. The relationship between. But if Ronald Reagan is killed, according to the law of the United States, the vice president will succeed him. He and Bush will also meet tonight. Even if he may cooperate with Bush later, it will be difficult to affect Bush. The status is naturally lower. So Xia Yu''s only thought is that Ronald Reagan is alive and well. And he was a kind reminder tonight, just a few words, but he was able to reap Ronald Reagan''s thanks. If the future is really changed and nobody assassinates Ronald Reagan, then forget it. But if someone really assassinated him, whether Ronald Reagan heard Xia Yu''s words or not, as long as he survived, he would be grateful to Xia Yu from the bottom of his heart, and Xia Yu''s weight in his heart would be even heavier. Just a few simple words of concern, but it is possible to gain so much, Xia Yu certainly knows how to do it. ¡­¡­ Let¡¯s talk about the Mellons. Soon after Xia Yu left, they also bid farewell to Ronald Reagan. After they got out, they got on a Lincoln extension and drove away from the Washington Convention Center. In the car, Richard King Mellon praised his third son Leonard Mellon: "Leonard, I was surprised by your performance tonight. You have grown a lot." Leonard Mellon smiled happily and couldn''t hide it, and said modestly: "Father, I still have a lot of shortcomings." Seeing his father praise his brother, Woodrow Mellon asked expectantly: "Father, how am I doing tonight?" Richard King Mellon gratified to his youngest son Woodlow Mellon and said, "Woodlow, you did a great job tonight." "Richard Rockefeller and Roy DuPont are much older than you, but chatting with us still seems a bit cautious. On the contrary, it is you two. Although the logical thinking and social experience are not as good as the two of them, you dare to Looking directly at David Rockefeller and expressing their opinions, you have made great progress, and I am very pleased!" He said that Richard Rockefeller is the son of David Rockefeller, and Roy Dupont is the son of Ramot Dupont Copland. They can be taken by David Rockefeller and God Dupont Copland By my side, I have obviously been trained in key points and are most likely to inherit their respective families. Richard Rockefeller and Roy DuPont are already middle-aged, but these old guys are still a little bit unwilling to face them, and they were compared by his two sons, which greatly increased him. s face. When the younger generation was away, David Rockefeller and others also asked him how he taught his son. At this moment, Leonard Mellon saw his sister Sandy Mellon''s jokes. He calmed down immediately. After struggling quickly, he chose to tell his father the truth. After all, he couldn''t guarantee that his sister would be careless. speak out. "Father, I actually didn''t dare to do this during the first half of the dance tonight." Leonard Mellon''s sudden words made Richard King Mellon frown and asked curiously: "Then why did you have such a big change." "Because..." Leonard Mellon will tell the truth about Xia Yu''s words and the inspiration he received while chatting with Xia Yu. After speaking, Leonard Mellon''s face was a little sad. Richard King Mellon not only did not blame, but praised again: "That Xia Yu said is very reasonable, but after all, many people understand a lot of truths, but they cannot successfully implement them. You can act immediately after being inspired. I see your courage, determination and execution." "And you have the courage to tell me the truth, this is your honest and pragmatic performance." "Dad is proud of you, you did a good job!" Leonard Mellon was pleasantly surprised and quickly promised: "Father, I will continue to work hard!" "Ok!" "Woodlow, you are great too, come on, try to surpass your brother!" "I will work hard, father, I promise!" Woodrow Mellon said firmly. Richard King Mellon was very pleased, but seeing the young faces of his two sons, Xia Yu could not help but sighed in his mind. The first time I saw Xia Yu tonight is the real enchanting genius. He was able to talk and laugh with them at a young age, and he also had a close relationship with Ronald Reagan and an equal cooperation with David Rockefeller, which in his opinion was incredible. If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that there were such people. He secretly decided to investigate all the information about Xia Yu immediately after returning to see what kind of person he was. At this moment, he suddenly asked his most beloved little daughter: "Xiandi, I seem to watch you dance with Xia Yu tonight, right?" Cindy Mellon nodded and said, "Yes." "Dad what''s wrong?" Richard King Mellon asked with a smile: "Based on your impression of him, what kind of person do you think he is? Compared with the people of the same age you know, and the previous generation. " Cindy Melon pursed his mouth and blinked his eyes to recall the exchange with Xia Yu tonight. For a long time, she looked at her father and said, "I think you are a very strange person. He is obviously young, but he is very wise and calm. I have never seen a young man like him." "Well...if you don''t think about his appearance, he feels more like an elder with rich experience, and what he says is very meaningful." "By the way, I asked him what the path he chose, and his answer impressed me." "He said calmly that he wanted to see the highest scenery in the world." "The highest scenery in the world?!" Richard King Mellon''s pupils shrank suddenly, and he murmured. said this in a calm tone, this Xia Yu is too...arrogant? Arrogant? Or have strong self-confidence? From the simple description from his daughter, he was not sure what kind of person Xia Yu was, but he had to say that he became more and more curious about Xia Yu. What kind of young man is it that dare to say this? "It seems that after I go back, I have to figure out his details..." PS: Two more nearly seven thousand words are over, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation! v3 Chapter 925: Net worth soared by several billion US dollars After resting for a night at home in Washington, Xia Yu drove back to New York for more than an hour the next morning. The next most important thing is to sell oil futures and safely withdraw funds. Now that he can walk around so comfortably and do whatever he wants, all thanks to the huge amount of funds behind him. Although he still has a lot of working capital now, there is nothing like money too much! New York Galaxy Fund Company. "Boss, after the U.S. government issued the first decree yesterday, the price of oil futures skyrocketed. The market opened at USD/barrel yesterday and closed at USD/barrel, an increase of 3.2% in a day." "Today the market opened directly broke through 35 USD/barrel and reached USD/barrel" Xia Yu looked at the electronic disk, and Song Yang''s words came in his ear. Xia Yu nodded slightly. Just as he thought, on the trader¡¯s electronic disk, the price of New York oil futures jumped again, jumping from USD/barrel to USD/barrel. It''s only 10:52 in the morning, and only 82 minutes after the market opened. The price is 0.33 US dollars/barrel higher than yesterday''s closing. It seems that today''s increase will be greater than yesterday. Wall Street dealers stepped up their efforts. Even if Xia Yu does not investigate, he knows that capital from outside the United States is now flowing into Wall Street to speculate in oil futures. Coupled with various domestic funds, the US oil futures market is now a battlefield. In addition to the bookmakers who jointly formulated the harvest plan behind the scenes, there must be some organizations that have seen that this is Wall Street''s arcade harvesting funds. But to become the leadership of a financial company, they have extremely strong self-confidence and a big heart, otherwise they would not stand at the top of the industry. So they are still willing to gamble, as long as they seize the opportunity and don''t let themselves be the last taker, then they can make a lot of money. The futures market is a huge gaming table, with more chips than Las Vegas casinos! At four o''clock in the afternoon on January 21, the New York Mercantile Exchange was closed, and the price of New York oil futures was fixed at USD/barrel. The increase was higher than yesterday, reaching more than 3.5%. After the market was closed, the front-line employees who had been strained for a day finally breathed a sigh of relief. After Xia Yu encouraged everyone, he summoned the management to the conference room. Looking across everyone¡¯s faces, Xia Yu said in a deep voice, ¡°According to the trend of these two days, the price of oil futures will break through the $37/barrel mark tomorrow. After the next meeting, you will check the gaps. Do a good job in the ideological work of each group, and you will never lose the chain tomorrow!" "Yes!" Everyone looked serious and responded in unison. Xia Yu nodded slightly, his face slowed down again, and a smile appeared: "February 4th is the 30th of the Chinese New Year, and it will be 14 days before the New Year. As long as there are no mistakes, then you can all go home. In a good year, if you complete the capital exit sooner, your bonus will be settled sooner." Mentioned the bonus, everyone couldn''t help but smiled. A few even subconsciously licked their mouths, obviously looking forward to it. Seeing what everyone was expecting, Xia Yu said with a smile: "It seems that I want to get the bonus, but whether I can get it depends on whether the finishing work can be done well. If something goes wrong, don''t talk to me. When it comes to bonuses, it¡¯s hard to tell if you can go back to the New Year, understand?" Song Yang and others reduced their smiles, and hurriedly responded: "Understood." "Ok¡­¡­" After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Xia Yu returned to the office and began to design the itinerary of the previous year. It¡¯s only fourteen days since the New Year. Most of his career is in Xiangjiang and he must go back as soon as possible. There are still many things waiting for him to deal with. Therefore, things in the United States must be dealt with as soon as possible, without wasting time as much as possible. The next day, with a clear sky, seemed like a good day. At 9:30 in the morning, the New York Mercantile Exchange officially opened. A scene similar to yesterday appears again. After the fermentation last night, the enthusiasm in the hearts of oil futures speculators has accumulated more. After the market opened, oil futures opened again and jumped. The price jumped from the dollar/barrel that closed yesterday to the dollar/barrel. It may be that many institutions did not grab enough shares yesterday, trying to make a sneak attack when the market just opened. Of course, it is also possible that the dealer behind the scenes is manipulating the market. But Xia Yu didn''t care about these. He stayed in the trading room, staring at the price fluctuations on the electronic disk. It is not just him, all the owners of the Galaxy Fund are all waiting. The leader and deputy leader of each operation team check all links over and over again, and tirelessly instruct employees how to act, for fear that they will lose the chain at a critical moment. For a time, the atmosphere inside the Galaxy Fund Company, especially the operation rooms, gradually became solemn. USD/barrel! USD/barrel! USD/barrel! ¡­¡­ As time goes by, the price of New York oil futures is rising, and there is no downward trend at all, even if it occasionally falls by 0.01 US dollars/barrel in the middle! Finally, at 2:33 pm. The price on the electronic disk has jumped from USD/barrel to USD/barrel! Without Xia Yu''s words, the group leaders of each operation room immediately ordered formal action. According to the assigned tasks, each group of traders began to place sell orders in an orderly manner. Now the oil futures market has flooded into global capital, and there are more buyers than sellers. The reason why the price of oil futures has been pushed up all the way is because there are too few shipments and they have to raise prices to raise prices, or sellers raise prices. Like the Galaxy Fund, the strategy is to increase prices and deliver goods. The price of USD/barrel was sold out with a thousand lots. 850 lots of pending orders at the price of USD/barrel were sold. The price of USD/barrel was sold out 920 hands. In short, the number of sell orders placed by each operation group of the Galaxy Fund is not fixed, just to prevent people from being suspicious. With the current fierceness of the market, various financial institutions have entered the market through leveraged funds of at least several hundred million U.S. dollars, and more than tens or even tens of billions of dollars, all waiting to buy oil futures contracts. Every time the Galaxy Fund¡¯s sell orders worth $10 to 20 million are not splashed, they are gone. The water in the New York oil futures market has long been mixed! No one has time to think about whether these sell orders are problematic, because the moment you think about it, the futures contract that appeared in the market has been bought by unknown company. The New York Mercantile Exchange, which had been in business for six and a half hours, was officially closed until four in the afternoon. The various operation groups of the Galaxy Fund began to collect statistics and then collected them in Xia Yu''s hands. The results of today''s day, or the results of more than an hour from more than two o''clock in the afternoon to the closing of the market, are freshly released. A total of 21,500 oil futures contracts were sold, with a return of eight hundred and ten million US dollars. The average selling price is USD/barrel. After seeing this total data, a smile appeared on Xia Yu''s face. The situation is better than expected. He once again convened a meeting with everyone, comprehensively analyzed today''s market, and then made certain adjustments, that is, to rush to ship as soon as possible. After the meeting, the members of each group continued their work and began to talk about the safe withdrawal of funds from the United States. On January 23, the opening price was USD/barrel, and the closing price was USD/barrel. The increase this day is smaller than yesterday, which proves that some capital has begun to hesitate. However, there are also influencing factors of the Galaxy Fund, and it is the Galaxy Fund that has dragged its feet. Because of this day, the Galaxy Fund must ship 138,000 oil futures contracts, and the return of funds reached 5.223 billion US dollars. According to data feedback from the New York Mercantile Exchange after the market was closed, the trading volume of oil futures contracts reached 1.08 million lots on that day, which was 92,500 lots higher than yesterday. The number of contracts sold by Galaxy Fund alone has reached one-ninth of the daily trading volume. But thinking about it the other way round, the turnover of oil futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange that day turned out to be more than 40 billion U.S. dollars, which is really scary! It can be said that in the case of the sluggish gold futures market, the oil futures sector exceeds the total trading volume of other futures markets on the New York Mercantile Exchange! The oil speculators during this time are crazy! Due to the hot market, the Galaxy Fund¡¯s withdrawal plan is progressing smoothly, and the speed has accelerated a lot. Until 2:18 pm on January 25, the last 500 lots of oil futures contracts in Group C were sold at the price of US dollars, and the last 19.4 million US dollars were recovered! All funds have been withdrawn! After counting today''s data, Xia Yu immediately added the previous data. After his precise layout, the eight-month plan has finally come to an end! A total of 313,600 oil futures contracts, after deducting the various fees of the exchange and the interest of the previous leveraged allocation, received 11.842 million US dollars. After deducting the invested capital, the net profit belonging to the Galaxy Fund Company reached 4.704 billion US dollars! This is Xia Yu''s second biggest gain after copying gold futures! Family property rose again by 4.7 billion U.S. dollars still working capital, Xia Yu''s self-protection ability and attack power skyrocketed again. It¡¯s just that outsiders don¡¯t know. Of course, if Xia Yu really provokes a violent counterattack, then whoever provokes will be unlucky. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu arranged for employees to quickly evacuate the funds from the United States and transfer them separately to the accounts of Xiangjiang Jiuding Bank, Island Chiba Bank, and Swiss Bank. As for other tasks at the end of the year, after Song Yang and others returned to Xiangjiang, they would work with Liu Xiao and others, which naturally included the distribution of bonuses at the end of the year. In a hurry, Xia Yu flew to San Francisco by plane after ending the oil futures operation. Just when he got home, he happened to receive a call from Bush Jr., stating that after his efforts, the shareholders agreed to withdraw their capital and transfer their equity to Xia Yu. The specific cooperation needs to be discussed face to face. After telling Bush that he would go to Texas to see the company, Xia Yu thought about it for half an hour at home, and then drove to an antique shop in San Francisco¡¯s China Street to buy an old thing. That night Xia Yu had a good memory at home and worked out an action plan for the next day. Early on the morning of January 28, Xia Yu boarded a short-haul flight to Texas. PS: I¡¯m too busy at work, the update is late, sorry, please ask for a ticket! :. : v3 Chapter 926: Fudge Bush The aviation industry in the United States is very developed, and most cities have airports. Of course, Midland also has them, even though Midland has a population of only 100,000. Not only that, Midland Airport will also be the ninth busiest airport in Texas, located 15 kilometers southwest of Midland, Texas, and very close to Osad. When Xia Yu got off the plane, he happened to see George W. Bush standing in the cold wind waving to him. Xia Yu waved his hand and accelerated the pace. "Mr. Xia, welcome to Midland!" "Mr. Bush, please come and pick me up on such a cold day!" ... In greeting, Xia Yu shook hands with Bush. "It''s a bit cold here. Let''s get in the car first. It will take about 20 minutes to get to the company." "Ok!" After that, Xia Yu and the bodyguards went into several cars arranged by Bush. Naturally, Xia Yu and Bush sat in the back row of the car in the middle. "Mr. Bush, who are the shareholders willing to transfer their shares?" Xia Yu turned his head to look at George W. Bush, and asked straight to the subject. Bush smiled and said: "I have searched for all shareholders these days, and finally I persuaded all shareholders that they are willing to resell the shares on my behalf." Xia Yu smiled and continued to ask: "How much equity do you have? How do you think we should cooperate?" Bush Jr. had obviously thought about it a long time ago, so he said carefully: "I can transfer to you 49% of the equity. According to the value of 8 million US dollars, you need to pay 3.92 million US dollars, and then we Then, a total of US$2 million will be injected into the company according to the equity ratio, as the company¡¯s future development funds." After listening, Xia Yu did not answer, but looked at Bush with a smile and calmly. After a while, Bush Jr. seemed a little embarrassed, his eyes erratic, and he asked again: "Mr. Xia, do you have any different opinions?" Xia Yu smiled and said: "I am a bit obsessive-compulsive, and I like to pursue perfection, especially for numbers. So according to the value of 8 million US dollars, I will pay 4 million US dollars. You and I will each account for 50%. Equity, and then we will inject one million dollars each to increase the value of the company to ten million dollars." After speaking, Xia Yu still looked calm and smiled at Bush, but if you look closely, you will find that Xia Yu''s smile is somewhat meaningful. Bush Jr. is a personal spirit, and there is indeed a ghost in his heart, so he naturally realized that his little trick was seen through by Xia Yu, but Xia Yu saved him face. (If you are interested, you can wonder what kind of careful thinking is, and the psychological activities between the two) His expression was slightly stiff, and it became natural in an instant, and he said enthusiastically: "Since Mr. Xia likes integers, let''s do what you said." "Thank you!" Xia Yu thanked him softly, then changed the topic and talked about the scenery outside the window. Seeing Bush talking and talking, Xia Yu thought in his heart that he would have to subdue Bush later, otherwise it would not be so easy to deepen the relationship between the two after Bush grew older and older. Twenty minutes later, the car came to the parking lot of an office building in Midland. A group of people got off the car and went to the elevator in the underground parking lot. "Mr. Xia, this is the eastern part of Midland. Basically, companies working in petroleum-related fields are here. Our company is on the sixth floor." During the conversation, the elevator came down and everyone entered the elevator. Bush''s subordinates pressed the button on the sixth floor. Then the elevator closed. After a while, the elevator door opened with a "ding" and everyone went out. "This is our company. The company is relatively rudimentary, with only 15 employees. Don''t think there are too few people. In fact, there are more people in our company among most of our colleagues here, because before the oil is extracted, the only business is Rent the land and hand it over to prospectors to detect oil." ¡°As long as oil is detected, the company will naturally expand. The most indispensable thing in Texas is talents in the oil field. Company expansion is very simple.¡± It seems that he was afraid that the company''s simple scene would disappoint Xia Yu, and Bush Jr. also explained to Xia Yu in advance and vaccinated. Xia Yu nodded understandingly and said: "This is a wise approach. Only when oil is explored can the company have value. Recruiting many insignificant employees in advance is a waste of money. It is better to use it to explore more land." While talking, a group of people came to the company, and what they saw was the sign on the back of the front desk that read "Bush Energy Company", and there was a young female employee standing at the front desk. After seeing Bush, she immediately got up and shouted: " Hello, Chairman!" Bush smiled and nodded, then introduced to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, this is Lisa, my secretary and the front desk of the company." ... After entering the company, the scene is as simple as Bush said, but the necessary office supplies are still complete. As for the machines for exploration and inspection, Xia Yu learned that they were in a warehouse in the suburbs. After getting to know the employees, Xia Yu asked Bush Jr. to prepare the contract. He had already prepared this kind of stuff and took it out immediately. After confirming that there were no traps, Xia Yu signed the contract. After signing, he directly took out the check, wrote a check for five million dollars, and tore it to Bush. "Mr. Bush, this is a check for five million dollars from Wells Fargo, California. You can withdraw it at any time." "Ok!" Bush Jr. did not doubt, smiled and took it and carefully put it in his briefcase. "Mr. Xia, congratulations on becoming a partner!" "I hope we can always cooperate happily from now on!" "Of course, it is certain!" The two shook hands and said. After being seated again, Bush Jr. asked: "Mr. Xia, do you have any plans now?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "I haven''t seen the process of oil exploration. Can you take me to Midland to see it around?" Of course, Bush Jr. had no objection to this simple request. He nodded and said: "Of course it''s okay." After speaking, Bush looked at his watch and said: "It''s only 9:52 in the morning. We will act as soon as possible and we can still catch lunch." "Take it away!" ... Pedestrians first came to Bush Energy''s warehouse in the suburbs, replaced them with the jeep commonly used in field exploration, and brought two prospecting employees, the old Jack and the strong man Jim. As soon as he got in the car, Xia Yu took out a slap-sized, dish-like thing from his bag. If a Chinese person saw it, most people would recognize it. This is a compass! As soon as this thing was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of Bush sitting next to Xia Yu. Seeing the densely packed small letters and stripes on the red-brown compass with a diameter of less than twenty centimeters, George W. Bush approached with wide-eyed eyes and asked curiously: "Mr. Xia, what is this?" "Is it a compass?" "But why are there no N and S?" The little Bush looked more and more strange. This was the first time he saw such a strange thing. He didn''t recognize any Chinese characters on it. In fact, don''t say he is an American, even if he is a Chinese, he may not recognize all the words on it when he gets the compass. Not to mention, not many people who can recognize all these 22 characters in the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches. It is estimated that most people can recognize eight or nine characters such as A, B, C, D, etc. Looking at the curious Bush, Xia Yu flashed a strange color in his eyes, and suddenly said to Bush with a mysterious expression: "Mr. Bush, this thing is not simple. We have a history of several thousand years in China. It is ancient China. Humans observe the universe, combined with weather, stars, mountains and rivers and other factors, and generally only Feng Shui masters can use it." "Do you understand Feng Shui Master?" Bush can understand a fart, but Xia Yu used a mysterious tone and said words such as thousands of years, the universe, etc., which made Bush feel incredible. As for the Feng Shui master Xia Yu said, it was completely translated from Chinese to English, and there was no such word at all. Just don¡¯t understand! Seeing that Bush was clearly attracted, Xia Yu raised his mouth slightly, frowned in contemplation, and said: "Let me compare it to you. Feng Shui is like your Western magician and alchemist, possessing incredible Ability, this compass is the magic item of a feng shui master, like a witch¡¯s magic broom and an alchemist¡¯s alchemy furnace." This analogy is vivid enough, and Bush Jr. immediately understood it. It was just that after he understood, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the compass in Xia Yu''s hand, especially the pointer that was still shaking on it, exclaiming: "what?" "This is a magic item?" "A mysterious power from the East?" "Mr. Xia, are you sure you are not joking?" "We should believe in science!" Xia Yu immediately retorted unhappily: "Mr. Bush, don''t you know that the end of science is theology?" "The current physics and chemistry was developed by alchemists before." "And you should know that both Newton and Einstein turned to theology in their later years. Are big physicists like them all wrong?" Bush Jr. was suddenly surprised and wondered whether what Xia Yu said was true or false. As far as he knows, the media did report before that Newton and Einstein went to study theology in their later years. However, Xia Yu clearly discovered that his gaze at the compass had changed a little, and he had fallen into self-doubt. "Very well, I am embarrassed to return to Xiangjiang if you don''t flicker in the future!" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he thought to himself. Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 927: Xia Yu "Then Mr. Xia, what do you want to do with this...compass?" Bush Jr. said awkwardly the word''compass'' and asked with doubts. Xia Yu said mysteriously: "I will use it to find oil!" "Looking for oil?" Bush''s eyes widened again, his eyes moved back and forth between Xia Yu and the compass in his hand, and he said in disbelief: "Can it still find oil?" "of course!" Xia Yu said without hesitation, how resolute the attitude is. Now he will act as a deceiver. Of course he has to fool himself, otherwise, he will fool Bush Jr. with eloquence. "This is incredible, is it really so amazing?" Bush rubbed his temple a little sadly. Although he still felt that there shouldn''t be such a thing in the world, but seeing Xia Yu''s solemnity, and he didn''t understand this, he could only doubt it. Looking at the constantly rotating pointer on the compass, Bush Jr. shook his head slightly and took a deep breath to calm his mood. It seemed that he had calmed down. He thought of an extremely crucial point. He stared at Xia Yu and asked: "Mr. Xia, you just said that this is a feng shui magic item. You will use this compass. Then you are from the East. Feng Shui Master?" Xia Yu nodded calmly and said, "My master is a Feng Shui master. I have studied with him for several years. Although I am not proficient, I can still use it to find oil." "It''s true or false, you''ll know after seeing it with your own eyes." Bush swallowed the words of surprise that he was about to blur out again, and said dryly, "I look forward to a miracle before my eyes!" "Then Mr. Bush, let me show the way next!" Xia Yu said. "Ok." "Rose, go ahead and lead the way." After the younger Bush responded, he immediately ordered the driver to overtake the car in front. After his car became the leading car, Xia Yu solemnly flattened his compass in front of Bush, watching the pointer in the middle of the compass shaking constantly and looking around from time to time. Fortunately, these two jeeps are convertible, which does not block Xia Yu''s vision. "Go to the left!" "The front of the car goes straight thirty degrees to the right." "Go straight!" ... With Xia Yu''s continuous command, the convoy ran around, passing by many oil fields that were being exploited. Every time I went to an oil field, the compass needle turned even more, which made Bush amazed. Based on the performance of the compass on the oil field, it seems... as if it is really sensitive? Could this mysterious magic item from the East really find oil? Before he knew it, Bush began to look forward to it more and more. He has failed hundreds of times, so I wish he succeeded once! In fact, it is normal for the compass to react to the oil field. Xia Yu had considered this before he came, otherwise he would not buy this compass specially. If there is no reaction, then it is not because he hit himself in the face! In the field of petroleum exploration, there is a method of magnetic exploration. The principle of magnetic exploration is not complicated. The magnetic properties of various rocks and minerals are different. To study the distribution and geological structure of underground rocks and minerals by measuring the magnetic strength of various parts of the ground is called magnetic exploration. In the oil and gas field area, due to the leakage of hydrocarbons to the ground, a reducing environment is formed. The iron oxide in the rock or soil can be reduced to magnetite. This anomaly can be detected with a magnetometer and combined with other exploration methods to discover oil and gas fields . Therefore, the oil field area must have a magnetic field, not to mention that there are various metals or metal-separated objects built on the surface of the oil field area itself. To enlarge it, everything has a magnetic field, and the magnetic field in the oil field is stronger. In addition, Xia Yu and the others are in the car, their positions are not fixed, and the strength of the magnetic field is different at each position. Moving the position quickly will interfere with the compass, making the compass unstable, and the pointer will naturally rotate everywhere. Using this situation to fool Bush Jr. couldn''t be better. Isn¡¯t the significant change in the compass before and after the oilfield area the strong evidence to support his previous statement? Looking at the increasingly expectant expression on Bush''s face and the strange look at the compass, we know that he has been gradually taken into the ditch. "Almost there, it''s time to change places." Secretly thought, Xia Yu glanced at the "Mobil" sign on a building in this oil field, did not move slowly, and pointed to the west and said, "Go there." The big place where Xia Yu and others are located is the West Texas Basin, also known as the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin is famous for its rich oil deposits. During the Permian and Triassic periods, it was a sea basin that was completely connected to the vast delta. This basin includes three interconnected but different subsidence zones, from east to west: the Midland Basin, Delaware Basin and Marfa Basin where Xia Yu is now located. The substantial subsidence during the Permian period caused various salt deposits in the basin, and formed a great barrier reef composed of a variety of different marine fauna. This basin contains a large amount of oil, which is due to looseness and porosity. The Permian reefs of the Permian period allowed oil to accumulate and confine it. The Permian Basin is one of the main oil producing areas in Texas and one of the most important oil producing areas in the United States! According to statistics, in later generations, the annual output of crude oil can reach 70 million tons. If one ton is equal to seven barrels, the annual output of crude oil in the Permian Basin can be 490 million barrels! The average daily output is 1.34 million barrels! In August 2017, the U.S. crude oil production exceeded 10 million barrels per day, making it the world''s largest oil producer! A careful calculation shows that the oil production in the Permian Basin accounted for 13.4% of the total in the United States! It is not high! Looking at the panthers, we can know the status of Texas in the US oil field. Unconsciously, the car headed to the desolate area under Xia Yu''s guidance, and the oil exploration areas visible on the road became sparser. "When you get there, stop one hundred meters ahead!" After Xia Yu commanded the car, the car stopped. Xia Yu opened the door and jumped out of the car and turned around with the compass. At this time, Bush Jr. got out of the car and came to Xia Yu. He asked expectantly: "Mr. Xia, is there oil here?" Xia Yu did not answer, but looked far to the northeast, and asked Bush Jr., "Mr. Bush, which company owned the oil field when I passed by?" Bush frowned slightly and replied: "When passing by, the oil field of Exxon is on the left, and the oil field of our family company is on the right." Xia Yu nodded slightly, did not speak, but secretly thought in his heart: "That''s right, this is it!" If nothing happens, in a few years, the area under his feet will be taken by the Bush family¡¯s oil company, and the underground can be explored for oil, with reserves reaching 10 million barrels. According to the current oil price, The value is nearly 400 million US dollars. Of course, the price of oil will fall soon, so there is still a value of one or two billion dollars. Coupled with some of the natural gas reserves in it, it can also increase the value of nearly 100 million US dollars. However, because mining is also costly, coupled with the laying of various other hardware facilities, the company''s operating and management costs, taxes, etc., if the oil field is fully exploited, it can create a net profit of 70 to 80 million US dollars. This thought flashed in his mind, Xia Yu didn''t move slowly, and started walking with the compass, his expression was very sacred, and his mouth was still chattering, like a **** stick. It¡¯s just that if a Chinese person listens to his words next to him, he will definitely be able to hear the mantras he chanted: ¡°Heavenly spirit and earthly spirit, Taishang Laojun soon manifests, heaven and earth Lingling, Taishang Laojun Hurry up..." Li Wuming, who was following Xia Yu, understood. When he caught the solemn face of Bush and other Americans from the corner of his eye, his eyes twitched and he was flustered. He knew that his father had never taught Xia Yu Fengshui, but now Xia Yu has turned a group of foreigners into two idiots. If it weren''t for him to be unsmiling and change to an ordinary person, he would have long since laughed. Finally, when I walked to a place, the needle on the compass suddenly turned violently, where the magnetic field was the most chaotic. Xia Yu immediately made a surprised expression and exclaimed excitedly: "There is oil here!" "really?" With a "wow", a group of people gathered around, and Bush Jr. asked Xia Yu anxiously and expectantly. Xia Yu''s smile remained unchanged, and he nodded and said firmly, "Really, according to the compass, this is the place where wealth meets fortune." "Come and see!" As he said, Xia Yu pointed his finger at the sky, and pointed at the mountains in the distance. He said in Chinese: "In the northeast of the Yi, there is the sun, and the north is yin and the east is yang, and the southwest is the yin. This is the meaning of the two rituals and four images..." This kind of content is still spoken in Chinese. It''s weird that Bush and others can hear it, all with big eyes and small eyes with a bewildered expression. Xia Yu didn''t say a few words, he wouldn''t admit that he only remembered these few feng shui terms that he had just heard from the antique shop owner yesterday. It doesn''t matter if there are more or less sentences, anyway, Bush can''t understand it! Just have a flicker effect! Xia Yu said to Bush in English with some unluckyness: "What I just said was a professional feng shui term. They are all ancient Chinese characters. There is no way to translate them in English, and you don¡¯t understand them. I won¡¯t waste time. Anyway, you know that there are oil fields here." "Mr. Bush, immediately arrange for someone to explore here!" Bush, who was very emotional, did not hesitate, and immediately greeted the employees to start arranging testing equipment. Seeing a group of people in full swing, Li Wuming whispered in Xia Yu''s ear: "Boss, is there really oil here?" "It should beMy instinct is very accurate!" Xia Yu nodded and said. In fact, the place where he is located is above the oil field, so he can point to any place for testing. He just found a place where the compass needle is shaking very badly. The technological innovation of oil exploration in the 1980s was not fast. Since the oil company of the Bush family could explore this area in a few years, it is unreasonable that it cannot be explored now. This place, but he carefully selected it, he has a lot of control!

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 928: Class D oil field With the continuous and in-depth development of science in later generations, there are various methods of petroleum exploration, including seismic exploration, gravity exploration, magnetic exploration, electrical exploration, geochemical exploration and so on. In each category, more detailed methods have been subdivided through precise research by scientific researchers. After all, oil is stored in a special stratigraphic structure. It is not easy to find it, and it requires very precise exploration. From another perspective, after hundreds of years of development, in the face of black gold oil, the most surface oil that is easy to explore has long been found out by carpet search. What has not been discovered is the hard bones that are hidden deeper. The underground is also more concealed, and you must rely on sophisticated methods to find it out. Moreover, in order to obtain more precise results and improve accuracy, several methods are used together. However, this time of exploration is based on the use of the three-dimensional seismic exploration technology that just appeared in the 1970s and has been further developed in the two-dimensional seismic exploration technology. The comprehensive application technology integrating physics, mathematics and computer science can make underground targets The image is clearer and the position prediction is more reliable. Even in later generations, three-dimensional seismic exploration is one of the most important methods in geophysical exploration, and it is the world''s main exploration technology for underground natural minerals such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Just when the old Jack and the others began to drill a small well to prepare to fill the explosives, Xia Yu walked to Bush Jr. and asked, "Mr. Bush, who shouldn''t rent or buy this land yet?" George W. Bush shook his head and said, "No, there are signs for sworn sovereignty on land that has a master. We didn''t see it when we came." The old Jack who was digging a well also heard the conversation between the two and immediately replied: "Chairman, I went to the town''s Land Management Bureau the day before yesterday. This large area is blank and no one has rented it yet." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said to Bush: ¡°There must be oil here. Although we can lease the land after detecting the results, there is still a risk of exposure. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered by a passing exploration team. Rent this land." "What''s more, there are a lot of blasting wells to be dug now. It will take some time. It is better to go back and let other employees come together and rent this land by the way." Xia Yu''s so swearing promise and the concerns raised really affected Bush. He glanced at the busy old Jack and others, and nodded in agreement with Xia Yu''s opinion. After instructing the old Jack and others to continue their work, Bush Jr., Xia Yu and others got in the car again, went straight on to the nearest highway, and then galloped along the highway. The United States is vast and sparsely populated, and the barren land in the wild is not valuable, even in the oil-rich Texas. For more than a hundred years, the cities and towns of Midland have already perfected all aspects of oil extraction, which naturally includes the initial land lease and sale. Every year, the local government will announce the standards for land lease and sale in different locations. The price and the price level are related to whether there are oil fields nearby. Naturally, the price of idle land near large oil fields will be higher than ordinary wasteland, but there are certain limits. The price difference between buying land and renting land is relatively large. Moreover, once oil is discovered, it can be exploited within a few years, and the slower one is only about ten years. Unless it is a super large oil field, it takes decades to be exploited, but such super large oil fields are rare. One is enough to make a sensation in the world! Therefore, it is generally sufficient to rent land for ten years, and according to the contract, you have the right to continue to renew the contract. There are also restrictions on the fluctuation of the rent. It can be said that all aspects have been taken into account, making people feel relieved and boldly explore (bet) oil. . The land Xia Yu and others wanted to rent had been rented by at least ten people in the previous hundreds of years, but because of technical problems or other reasons, no oil was discovered before, and now the land has returned to the local government. It was about 1 in the afternoon, and that large piece of land was rented by Bush Energy Company for ten years at a price of nine thousand dollars a year, and it obtained all the legal rights to the land, including mineral exploration, mining and ownership. Around two o''clock in the afternoon, all sixteen small wells were dug and explosives were filled at the bottom of the well. The geophone and the instrument cart were connected by cables. "Chairman, the preparations are done!" "Then start testing!" After finishing talking, Xia Yu, Bush Jr. and others went a little farther, one is to be safer, and the other is to avoid interference with seismic signal acquisition. I saw Old Jack start the device, and after a while I heard a series of dull explosions. The transmission speed of sound waves is very fast. After waiting for more than two minutes, Xia Yu and others hurried to the instrument car. The instrument cart is equipped with a special electronic computer, which will process and calculate the data transmitted from the detector through the cable according to the set program. The data will be classified and arranged to highlight the valid and remove the invalid and interference data. Finally The technicians superimpose and migrate the processed data, and finally obtain a seismic section or 3D data volume file. A group of people gathered around the technician, watching him continuously operate a special electronic computer. About twenty minutes later, a seismic profile map came out. Then Jonathan, another staff member wearing glasses, stepped forward and analyzed the seismic profile. Bush and others all subconsciously let go of their breaths, their eyes fixed on the profile. Whether there is oil or not depends on the analysis result of the seismic profile. Time comes over every minute. Jonathan has been frowning and analyzing the data. Suddenly, his brows trembled, and he leaned forward to look at the lower right corner of the profile. "Jonathan, did you find it?" Bush Jr. asked hurriedly, feeling a little uneasy. Jonathan pointed to the section in the lower right corner, feeling a little excited and replied: "Chairman, this piece of stratum structure is different, and according to the analysis of the seismic wave reflection results, it is very similar to the oil and gas trap structure, where it is possible to store oil!" Hearing this, everyone showed excitement. Bush immediately said: "Quickly calculate the position and re-explore!" Except for Xia Yu and Li Wuming, everyone immediately got busy. There are many people and great power. At 4:08 in the afternoon, another series of slight blasting sounds sounded. After waiting for a few minutes, everyone immediately surrounded the instrument cart. About twenty minutes passed. Jonathan shouted to Bush Jr. excitedly: "Chairman, there is oil under this!" Bush was pleasantly surprised, and immediately asked: "What is the probability that the reserves can be estimated?" Jonathan immediately replied: "There is a 90% probability that there is oil, and the reserves are still uncertain. There are also oil and gas traps that have not been surveyed. Only continued exploration can be determined." "However, according to the current profile calculations, this oil field is above grade D and has great mining value!" According to the oil field standards established by the United States, it can be divided into five levels, namely: Grade A: Reserves are greater than 50 million barrels. Grade B: Reserves range from 25 million barrels to 50 million barrels. C-level: reserves of 10 million barrels to 25 million barrels. Class D: reserves of 1 million barrels to 10 million barrels. Class E: Reserves are less than one million barrels. Of course, as later generations continue to discover oil fields with large reserves, giant oil fields, world-class oil fields and super large oil fields have been added to the A level, and the division is divided into level. Below the E level, there is also an F level, but the F level refers to an oil field with no exploitation value. This oil field is at least Grade D, which means that the oil reserves are at least one million barrels. According to the current oil price of nearly 40 US dollars per barrel, this oil field is worth tens of millions of dollars at least! How to keep Bush from getting excited! once again instructed the staff to continue to adjust the location for exploration. Bush Jr. looked at Xia Yu and his gaze became extremely hot, and he was still emotional: "Mr. Xia, there really is oil, you really found it!" "Oh my god, it''s incredible, it''s magical, this is magic from the East!" At this time, Xia Yu looked indifferent, with a relaxed look, and said lightly: "Mr. Bush, I have said that I can find oil. Although I am not proficient enough, I still have the confidence to find oil." Xia Yu¡¯s attitude made Bush feel that Xia Yu was humble. Thinking of the meaning of Xia Yu¡¯s ability, he made up his mind to grasp the relationship with Xia Yu. Bush apologized sincerely: "Mr. Xia, I apologize for my ignorance before, you let me know the world again!" Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said nonchalantly: "Mr. Bush, I understand that other people will not believe in Feng Shui, but after all, the world is so wonderful that no one can fully understand the whole world unless he is the will of the earth. " "Yes, most people in the world are ignorant, but they like to use their own worldview to identify the world." After concluding a sentence, Bush licked his dry mouth, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Xia Yu expectantly: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know if you are a Feng Shui master, can you teach it to others?" Xia Yu glanced at Bush, then shook his head and said: "I''m afraid not, Mr. Bush, did you know that Huaxia has a population of more than one billion people, but the true Fengshui masters are estimated to be a few hundred, or even less, according to my master. According to me, there are millions of people in Xiangjiang. He temporarily met me who is suitable to be a Fengshui master." "Moreover, if you want to learn Feng Shui, you must have a good understanding of Chinese culture for thousands of years. Those books are written in ancient characters. Even people who are proficient in Chinese may not understand the meaning, let alone other things. There is a natural gulf if the language is not understood!" "What about this compass?" Bush Jr. asked without giving up. Xia Yu shook his head again and said, "The compass is true and false. Only the real compass is useful, and it must be in the hands of a real Feng Shui master. If it is not a Feng Shui master, it will be useless for others." Bush was immediately disappointed and could only barely maintain a smile said dryly: "Is that so? It''s really a shame. It would be great if this ability can be promoted." Although he said so, Xia Yu saw his expression and knew that he was not reconciled. But Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care. Anyway, he has said so much and has planted a seed in Bush¡¯s heart. Even if Bush finds a feng shui master later, it will only be attributed to the fact that the feng shui master is fake. Yes, but cherish the relationship with him more. "What you can''t get is the best" This sentence is true everywhere. Xia Yu smiled and changed the subject and said: "Mr. Bush, let''s explore the reserves of this oil field first. According to the reaction of the compass just now, the minimum reserves of this oil field are 9 million barrels. Ten million barrels!" Sure enough, Bush Jr.''s attention was immediately attracted by Xia Yu''s reserves. Jonathan estimated that it was more than 1 million barrels, but Xia Yu said that there might be 10 million barrels of reserves. The difference is ten times! With the previous performance, Bush Jr. subconsciously believed Xia Yu''s words. He looked forward to it more and more, urging everyone to act as soon as possible. Explosive exploration two times in succession, everyone has been busy until more than nine o''clock in the evening, and finally the complete oil field was explored. PS: I didn¡¯t really use the compass to find oil. How could I leave an indelible impression in Bush¡¯s heart? Don¡¯t you forget to go to the book review area to participate in the event, and the monthly pass will change the starting point. currency :. : v3 Chapter 929: Morgans General Electric Company (2 "Jonathan, are the reserves calculated?" A group of people gathered around Jonathan. When he saw that he stopped the calculation pen, Bush hurriedly asked. Jonathan said excitedly: "Chairman, after a rough calculation, 95% of the oil reserves in this oilfield may exceed 9 million barrels, and there is a high probability that it will reach 10 million barrels!" "And it has more than 50 million cubic meters of natural gas reserves!" "Wow!" "The oil is finally out, and it has finally succeeded after two years!" Old Jack and the other workers suddenly cheered, and Bush Jr. laughed excitedly. After all, he has just graduated for three years. Except for the first year of Bush Energy¡¯s idleness, he has been working for two years, but he hasn''t achieved any results. How can he not bear great pressure in his heart. now has a sudden success. After two years of depression, he is completely released at this moment. He can''t help laughing out loud and cheering with the employees. While ¡¡¡¡ was excited, he recalled Xia Yu''s estimate of this oil field in the afternoon again. It was exactly the same as the result calculated by Jonathan. It was a miracle! subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu with an indifferent smile, Bush Jr. once again confirmed the idea of ??cooperating firmly with Xia Yu. It was already so late. Of course, so many people could not spend the night in the wild, so the group immediately set off to return. Anyway, the land has already been rented, and no one can take this oil field away. Come back tomorrow to continue exploration. Early the next morning, after eating breakfast, Bush Jr. repeatedly invited Xia Yu to stay, but Xia Yu flatly refused, saying that he was about to come to the Spring Festival of the Chinese lunar calendar, and he must deal with things as soon as possible and go home. In desperation, Bush Jr. could only send Xia Yu to the plane reluctantly, and repeatedly asked Xia Yu to contact him when he came to the United States and keep in touch. Xia Yu knew that Bush Jr. had tasted the sweetness and wanted to drag him to continue looking for oil. But Xia Yu won''t make Bush happy! Xia Yu remembers that the Bush family¡¯s oil company will still find a lot of oil fields in Texas in the future, but he doesn¡¯t plan to take out half of it to Bush Jr. in one go. He has to hang it slowly to achieve the greatest benefit.»¯. "The harder it is to have a way, the more you know how to cherish it!" Anyway, it''s all relying on flickering, all relying on his mouth is nothing more than finding a suitable reason to shirk. And he can also buy an oil company when the oil industry is sluggish in the future, and explore it by himself, with all his interests in his pocket. After seeing Xia Yu entered the boarding aisle after being checked, Bush Jr. sighed in frustration. "Fengshui masters and compasses... I have to find a way to find them. Didn''t he say there are hundreds of them in the East..." A future American president who is superstitious about Chinese Fengshui was born. ¡­¡­ This time Xia Yu took a plane to Houston, and then changed to a plane to Washington State in Houston. Before he leaves the United States, he is going to take a trip to Seattle to see the operation of his Seattle Computer Products Company. Xia Yu has been informed that IBM will hold a product launch conference on February 1 to release IBM¡¯s first microcomputer. As soon as the news came out, Apple¡¯s stock price dropped, showing the capital¡¯s worry. According to the original historical trajectory, IBM will not be able to release the finished product until April, but Xia Yu has intervened in this life, and IBM has solved the computer system problem several months in advance, so IBM was able to hold the conference more than two months in advance. New product launch conference. IBM''s new product launch conference, Xia Yu didn''t plan to join in the fun. But he knows that as IBM¡¯s microcomputers sell well, Seattle Computer Products¡¯ SCP-DOS operating system will also be available to the market. He needs to mention Buck Daniel again. Not only that, in addition to the SCP-DOS system and its future versions, Seattle Computer Products also has to develop other products to improve the company''s overall strength and anti-risk capabilities. He has to check and mention a few by the way. A forward-looking vision is not good enough to use to formulate the company''s development strategy, unless he has a brain! Around three in the afternoon on January 29th, Xia Yu finally came to Seattle Computer Products. As soon as he came in, Xia Yu found that Seattle Computer Products Company had changed a lot. The most obvious thing was that the company had many new employees. Obviously, it had expanded its recruitment in recent months. Fortunately, there are still many old employees. After saying hello to Xia Yu, I told Xia Yu that President Buck Daniel is in the office of the programming department. "Boss, welcome to the company!" "Buck, long time no see." ¡­¡­ After a few simple greetings, Xia Yu asked about the SCP-DOS system. "Buck, IBM is about to release a microcomputer. Is our system continuing to be researched and developed, and to what extent is the technology reserve?" Buck Daniel led Xia Yu to a white computer with a big butt, and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, this is the new product that IBM will release soon. Our company is their first batch of customers. You can take a look. The system of this computer was actually determined on December 2 last year. Now after nearly two months of research, we have optimized the original system to a certain extent." "The one next to it is another computer on which we have installed the latest system." "At present, the company has applied for 97 patents, including 29 core patents, and 36 of them have been approved..." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, and commented: "Good job. As long as we research a technology, we can apply for a patent. Our system needs enough technical patent barriers to maintain an advantage." After finishing speaking, he sat in front of the first computer, and after a brief groping for a while, he started to operate, experimenting with the functions of IBM''s first-generation microcomputer, and then experiencing the performance of the SCP-DOS system. As for the second computer with the latest system installed, Xia Yu did not touch it. Buck Daniel stood next to Xia Yu, quietly watching Xia Yu operate, and also observing the performance of the system. For a long time, Xia Yu stopped his movements and turned to Barker Daniel and said, "Yes, our operating system is more stable and smoother than that of Apple computers, and it has more complete functions. It is a model for the current market. Mature operating system." "However, our system is an open platform. With the continuous development of technology, there will definitely be various undiscovered problems. You must arrange for people to collect feedback in time, and do a good job with IBM to patch in time. " "Boss, I have done this arrangement." Buck Daniel said. Xia Yu nodded slightly, thought about it, and said: "One more thing, after the release of IBM''s microcomputer, other computer companies such as Texas Instruments will definitely follow up on the development of microcomputers. You must reach cooperation with them as soon as possible and let us The system became the mainstream of the market for the first time." "Ok!" ¡­¡­ Just when Xia Yu was about to ask Buck Daniel to introduce him to the company¡¯s other projects, a person suddenly walked in. It was Michael Bloomberg. Seeing Xia Yu here, Michael Bloomberg was obviously taken aback, and then quickly said hello to Xia Yu: "Boss, I didn''t expect you to be here, good afternoon!" "Michael, good afternoon." Xia Yu responded with a smile, and then asked: "Are you here for the financial information service terminal?" Except for this, Xia Yu couldn''t think of what Michael Bloomberg would do here. Michael Bloomberg nodded immediately and said, "Yes." "Which stage of development is it now?" "The complete financial information service terminal has been designed, but the system is not perfect yet, and some bugs need to be resolved and further optimized." "When is it expected to be marketed?" When he heard Xia Yu''s question, Michael Bloomberg was speechless and looked at Buck Daniel subconsciously. After all, the Surging News Agency he runs has just been established. How can the technical strength be comparable to an established software company like Seattle Computer Products? After obtaining Xia Yu''s permission, he recruited computer talents on the one hand, and signed an agreement with Seattle Computer Products on the other hand, entrusting the other party to customize a special service system for The Paper. Buck Daniel knows more about the progress. Seeing the boss Xia Yu looking at him, Buck Daniel immediately said: "Boss, the financial information service terminal is in another office and is in charge of a special team. There are indeed some bugs, because this is a complete system and it is difficult to develop. It''s relatively large, and it''s still being resolved." After finishing speaking, Buck Daniel took Xia Yu and others to another office, and asked Xia Yu to demonstrate the product, and at the same time explained the difficulties. The core of the current Surgical Terminal is actually the computer system of Surgical Professional Services. According to its functional design, users can consult and analyze real-time financial market data and conduct financial transactions through Surgical Professional Services. Not only that, but there is also a dedicated news push service on the terminal, which pushes the latest news and real-time quotes of the exchange in real time. It can be said that the Surging Terminal combines the operational, transactional and information aspects that are most needed by financial market practitioners. It can greatly improve the efficiency of the financial market. This is the perfect job that Wall Street urgently needs in the age of prosperity. It''s just that the computer system of "Surging Professional Services" is not stable enough, so this supposedly perfect tool is not perfect. "I know what went wrong. You have a problem with your thinking, and you don''t have a deep understanding of the financial market." Speaking, Xia Yu directly asked the employee to get out of position, then opened the programming interface and quickly modified it. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s fast blind typing, his fingers would have afterimages, lines of codes on the computer desktop were beating, Michael Bloomberg¡¯s eyes widened and he subconsciously looked at Buck Daniel. It seems that the boss Xia Yu seems to be very proficient in computers. He didn''t know this before. Seeing Michael Bloomberg''s surprise, Buck Daniel showed a smile instead. His reaction at the time was no less than Michael Bloomberg''s, but as he saw Xia Yu''s strength, he became numb and convinced the boss. He leaned into Michael Bloomberg''s ear and whispered, "Michael, the truth is that the boss is very computer-savvy, and he is much better than me." "I didn''t expect the boss to rely on the company today. He hasn''t been here for months." "You are lucky. Now that the boss has done it, these bugs that have been troubled for a long time can be solved." Michael Bloomberg nodded subconsciously, feeling very uncomfortable. He was originally proud of being both proficient in finance and understanding of computers. Unexpectedly, his boss had cleaned up his old club in the financial market, and now he has demonstrated strong technology in the computer field. Both sides were crushed by the boss Xia Yu, so heartbreaking! At this moment, Michael Bloomberg put away his last bit of arrogance and convinced the boss, with only one thought in his heart, run the Surging News Agency well, and don¡¯t let the boss down. Time goes slowly... "All right!" As Xia Yu pressed the run button, the Surging Service Terminal system began to test run the computer desktop. An interface popped up on the computer desktop. Above it was a K-line chart, which jumped at regular intervals, and a gradually complete K-line chart was drawn smoothly. Came out. Not only that, at the top of the interface, there are red letters to announce news. Of course, the data of the news and the candlestick chart are all set by Xia Yu before, after all, there is no data connected with the exchange. "Papa Papa......" Seeing this result, Michael Bloomberg and others could only express their inner feelings with warm applause. Xia Yu looked indifferently, and said to Michael Bloomberg: "Michael, the key problem has been solved, and the remaining minor flaws need to be optimized, but it can be solved in a short time." "You have to do a good job in production and promotion." "After the finished product is made, I will ask six or seven companies to purchase directly to solve the initial promotion problem. It is estimated that 100 units will be needed." Of course, Xia Yu must give priority to his own use. Polaris Capital, Jiuding Securities New York Branch, Philip-Solomon, etc. all need it, as well as Bright Fund of the United Kingdom, Jiuding Securities of Xiangjiang, Jiuding Bank, and Jiuding of the island country. Securities companies, etc. also need it. As long as these companies of their own have installed them and their functions spread out, I believe that Surging Terminals will soon be able to open the markets of the United Kingdom, island countries, Hong Kong and the United States. "Good boss, I will be fully prepared in advance!" Michael Bloomberg said excitedly. "It''s almost six o''clock, let''s go have a meal together, I have to leave the United States after this time, I don''t know how long will I come." looked at his watch, it was already 5:52 in the afternoon, Xia Yu said to the two with a smile. The boss asked for dinner, and he was naturally rewarded, and the two immediately agreed. asked Buck Daniel to recommend a luxurious restaurant. Everyone had a nice meal. Before leaving, Xia Yu told the two of them again. Early the next morning, Xia Yu flew to New York and met Julian Robertson of the Tiger Fund and Ray Dario of the Bridgewater Fund in secret. After ¡¡¡¡, he came to the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. He just remembered something and needed to arrange it with Toby Morton before leaving. The first is to invest in GE stock. General Electric Company is the core enterprise of the Morgan Consortium. This company was formed by the merger of Edison¡¯s Edison Electric Light Company Thomson-Houston Electric in 1892. It is a manufacturing giant that not only produces consumer appliances and industrial electrical equipment, but also a Huge arms contractors produce everything from aviation instruments to radars. It¡¯s just that established companies have a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, so GE has fallen into a bottleneck at present, and its market value is not high, only 13 billion US dollars. But Xia Yu is very clear that just this year, in a few months, Jack Welch, who will be known as the "Global No. 1 CEO", will leap from General Electric¡¯s vice chairman to CEO and chairman. With GE on the road of reform and strengthening, it took 20 years to bring GE from 13 billion US dollars to 480 billion US dollars, creating a miracle that has attracted worldwide attention. Although General Electric is the core company of the Morgan Consortium, he can''t take it away, but it''s still good to buy some stocks and appreciate. For the New York branch of Jiuding Securities to gain a foothold on Wall Street, it really needs to invest in several super-large companies, and use the platforms of those super-large companies to expand its reputation and influence. General Electric is just right. In addition to General Electric, Xia Yu also ordered Toby Morton to try to buy Coca-Cola''s stock. It would be better if he could take down the shares held by the Morgan Consortium and Chicago Consortium. After the New York Chemical Bank of the Rockefeller Consortium transferred its equity, a lot of the fighting spirit on the Coca-Cola Company has dissipated. As long as Toby Morton is willing to grind, it will be fruitful over time. In order to facilitate the operation of Toby Morton, Xia Yu also injected one billion U.S. dollars into the company''s account at Wells Fargo. After finishing his work in New York, Xia Yu flew to San Francisco again. He would fly back to Xiangjiang from San Francisco. Before he left, he made a special trip to Polaris Capital, and learned about the progress of the North American theater acquisition from Peter Lynch. UU reading www.uukanshu. com Polaris Capital has acquired a medium-sized cinema circuit from the western, southern, northern, and eastern parts of the United States. After the integration, it has acquired 11 small-scale cinema circuits and some independent theaters, and integrated it into a large scale that barely covers major major cities in the United States. The theater line has 215 theaters and 257 screens, accounting for 1.87% of the number of theaters in the United States, ranking tenth in the U.S. theater market. But these theaters are all urban theaters, and their revenue capacity is much stronger than that of rural theaters. The only drawback is that these theaters are not fully renovated. They are usually a large screen with one big screen. It is too wasteful of resources. Xia Yu immediately asked Peter Lynch to arrange for the renovation of the theater after he left. It is worth mentioning that this theater is also called Global Cinemas, because in terms of equity, it belongs to HeungKong Global Cinemas, so it is also the US branch of Global Cinemas, but Jiang Zhiqiang does not know yet. . Polaris Capital, which owns MGM Pictures, will face sanctions under U.S. law if it owns theaters. Finally, Xia Yu asked Peter Lynch to continue to assist the expansion of the global cinema chain, with the goal of becoming the top three cinema chains in the United States, and looking forward to the first in the U.S. cinema market! On the afternoon of January 31, Xia Yu boarded the plane to Xiangjiang. PS: I¡¯m lazy to score chapters. The two chapters are combined to bring the American story to a close. The protagonist returns to Xiangjiang to continue his waves. Remember to support the original and vote! The starting point reading app of the main station, the book review area has a monthly pass to receive starting currency! v3 Chapter 930: Back to Xiangjiang At Xiangjiang Qide Airport, when seeing Xia Yu''s figure walking out, Li Qian ran towards Xia Yu carrying her skirt. "A Yu, I miss you so much, you are finally back!" "Cici, I miss you too!" Feeling the trembling body in her arms and listening to Li Qian''s true feelings, Xia Yu touched her heart, stroked her hair, and said warmly. "Sister Chao Qiong is still waiting for you!" Although infatuated with Xia Yu''s embrace, Li Qian did not forget He Chaoqiong, who came with her to pick up Xia Yu, and she quickly cleaned up her emotions and said to break free from Xia Yu''s words. Xia Yu immediately looked at He Chaoqiong, who was standing beside the pavilion but with rosy eyes, smiling and opening her hands to her. The latter immediately flew towards Xia Yu and Xia Yu hugged steadily. "Xia Yu..." ... After another intimate talk, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong finally calmed down. Realizing that someone nearby is always watching, Xia Yu immediately said, "Let''s get in the car first." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the reflection of glass not far away. Xia Yu subconsciously looked over and suddenly saw a person taking a picture of him with a camera. Xia Yu frowned slightly and said to the bodyguard, "Destroy it!" After finishing speaking, he went straight to chase the two bodyguards who had escaped the reporter, and took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong into the car. About two minutes later, the two bodyguards returned to inform that the photos had been destroyed, and then they boarded another car. Leaving the airport immediately. "Chao Qiong, do you want to go to my house?" "Ok!" He Chaoqiong''s eyes lit up when he heard Xia Yu''s words. Although his heartbeat also speeded up, he still obeyed his original heart. Along the way, Xia Yu was chatting with the two women, mostly he was talking about his experiences abroad. Unconsciously, the convoy returned to Xia Yu''s beach villa. It seemed that after hearing the roar of a few rare cars, Xia Ming, who was on winter vacation, ran out first to see. After seeing Xia Yu, he immediately exclaimed "Big Brother is back", and then his parents and others kept running out. "Dad, Mom, I''m back!" "Just come back, I''m thinking that you will be back soon after the New Year." "Just come back safely, come in!" "Cici, Miss He, come in quickly!" ... After entering the house, the bodyguards put them in the trunk again, and all the gifts Xia Yu brought back from abroad moved into the house, and suddenly there were laughter in the house. I don''t know where his mother had pulled Li Qian and He Chaoqiong with a smile. Xia Yu and his father sat in the living room and chatted. "A Yu, what are your plans after coming back this time? Are you still going abroad?" Father Xia fondly stroked the Rolex handwritten by his son, and asked cheerfully. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "I won''t go for the time being. I currently plan to stay in Xiangjiang after the Chinese New Year. Even going out is short-term. Of course, everything is hard to say." Knowing that his son was originally scheduled to stay in Xiangjiang, Xia Dahai was already very happy, and said understandingly: "The plan is the plan, and the reality is more important, but after your mother, you will be very happy if you plan to stay in Xiangjiang." "You have been outside most of this year. Your mother can''t see you a few times a year. Don''t miss you too much." ... The father and son chatted with their parents, and time passed by. I don¡¯t know when, Xia Mu Chenmei came to the living room alone, came to Xia Yu to sit down, took Xia Yu¡¯s hand, and asked in a low voice: "A Yu, how can you bring Cici and Miss He back at the same time? Home, mom is confused by you, you and Miss He?" Xia Yu patted her mother''s hand and said with a faint smile: "Mom, Chao Qiong will pick me up, I can let her go back?" "Since I brought her back, you can treat her equally." Mother Xia was startled and asked nervously, "Isn''t Miss He the daughter of the king of gambling? Is he willing? Will you be in trouble?" Xia Yu smiled indifferently, and said comfortingly: "Mom, you don''t have to worry about these things. I will take care of things. Don''t underestimate me. You have time to do more happy things. ." Xia¡¯s mother Chen Mei was relieved immediately, and she continued: ¡°That¡¯s good, but you said you want mom to do something happy, nothing is as happy as holding grandson. I went out with other old ladies and they always said Grandchildren..." Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry, and said quickly: "Mom, if you like children, or you and dad have another one, our family can afford it anyway." Father Xia, who was sitting by the side watching the play happily, was stunned, and was stunned by the pot of his son. He watched a play with him and was dragged into the water by his son! After Xia''s mother Chen Mei was stunned, her face suddenly burnt, and she said in embarrassment: "What are you talking about? Mom is so old. Cici and Miss He are still upstairs. I''ll go up first." After speaking, Xia Mu Chen Mei got up and walked away quickly. Seeing his mother seem to be running away, Xia Yu smiled and looked at his father Xia Dahai. Facing his son''s winking eyebrows, Xia Dahai felt as if his buttocks were burning, and he was not in the mood to chat with his son. She just made an excuse and ran away. Xia Yu smiled suddenly, took out a mango from the fruit plate on the coffee table and peeled it. At noon, the family happily ate lunch, and Xia Mu Chen Mei kept serving Li Qian and He Chaoqiong, who were sitting on both sides, with vegetables. Li Qian is okay, but He Chaoqiong can be a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Xia Mu, and seems to have noticed something, his cheeks are always red. Had it not been for Xia Yu to stop it in time, Xia Yu guessed that He Chaoqiong might not have seen rice grains in his bowl. After eating lunch, during the break, Xia Yu called Huo Jianning and asked him to inform all the company¡¯s responsible persons that he would come to the headquarters for a meeting tomorrow morning, and also gave detailed instructions on preparations for the meeting, and asked Huo Jianning to inform in advance. In place. After that, he took the two women out again, and at three o''clock he sent his bodyguards to board the ship to Omen with He Chaoqiong, and waved goodbye to He Chaoqiong''s reluctant eyes. Then Xia Yu visited Master Li Chunqiu. In the evening, Xia Jun and Xia Lei visited Xia Yu, and Xia Yu and the two brothers had a great chat at home. No words for a night. The next morning, Xia Yu was in good spirits and went to Jiuding Building after breakfast. It''s just that his good mood didn''t last long, so he was disturbed by a newspaper handed over by his subordinates. This is a third-rate tabloid called "Urban Power", which Xia Yu has never heard of before. The cover of this newspaper is a photo taken from a distance. Although only the profile of Xia Yu was taken, the figures of Li Qian and He Chaoqiong were taken in. Although it is a bit vague, if you are acquainted with He Hongshen The big guys saw it, and he could definitely recognize one of them as He Chaoqiong. That''s all, the picture in this newspaper also described Xia Yu''s return to Xiangjiang in extremely exaggerated language, as well as the gossip **** of peach blossoms and so on. "Boss, the photo of the reporter yesterday was absolutely destroyed, and the work permit was from the Hong Kong Economic Journal. Moreover, looking at this photo, the angle of shooting was incorrect. It should have been taken by other reporters." Seeing that Xia Yu was unhappy, Li Wuming immediately said to Xia Yu. After speaking, he said again: "Boss, let me get someone to solve it." Xia Yu said with a gloomy face: "Go and do it now, don''t let the influence expand, but there is no need to see blood." Li Wuming nodded, and then went down to make arrangements. At nine o''clock in the morning, Xia Yu was sitting in the middle of the large conference room of Jiuding Building. The heads of Liu Tianci, Wang Qi, Yan Wenhan, Ma Tengdong, Liu Shihao, etc. were all present. Everyone looked at Xia Yu intently and waited. With his speech. "It''s been a long time since I saw everyone. It seems that you are all doing well, so I can rest assured." "Today is the 2nd, and New Year''s Eve will be the day after tomorrow, and another year has passed without knowing it. I am here, I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance!" "..." After some greetings, Xia Yu finally talked about business. Xia Yu looked straight, and everyone cheered up. "Before I came back, Huo Jianning had already notified you. I think you have also prepared the bonus distribution books of your companies. I will check them one by one after the meeting and arrange the payment directly without any problem." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci sitting on the left hand side, and said to him: "God, you have to work harder in these two days. You must arrange for someone to cancel all employees¡¯ payments during these two days and let others The company¡¯s employees have money to celebrate the New Year." "Yes!" Liu Tianci nodded immediately. Most of the others smiled, obviously this incident made everyone feel good. "Because I came back too late, I will arrange the affairs of each company after the year, but you have to give me a copy of this year''s work summary, company development report and next year''s plan." "..." The main purpose of this meeting was to unify the thinking and set the tone from the general direction. Xia Yu did not mention the details. But despite this, the meeting still lasted more than an hour. After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Xia Yu sent the others away after leaving the documents to be signed, except for Yan Wenhan. Xia Yu threw the "Urban Power" newspaper in front of Yan Wenhan, who immediately picked it up. After seeing the cover, his face suddenly changed. Without waiting for him to speak, Xia Yu said directly: "Wenhan, I remember that you are already the chairman of the Xiangjiang Press Association?" Yan Wenhan nodded and said, "Yes, it was just elected in October this year." Xia Yu went on to say: "I have sent someone to deal with this newspaper, but you have to use this opportunity to lay down a hidden rule. From now on, unless I take the initiative to board the front desk, I don''t want to see the outside world News about me." "The rules must be erected. Whether it is the current newspaper or the latecomers, this rule cannot be surpassed." Yan Wenhan''s heart shuddered, and he immediately responded: "I understand. Today I will convene all the newspapers for a meeting to set up the rules." Xia Yu''s complexion slowed down, and he nodded without saying more. It''s not that Xia Yu''s reaction is so big, but he knows that the media has no bottom line for popularity and sales. Newspapers such as "Ming Pao" and "Hong Kong Economic Journal" are very enlightened ~ www.novelhall.com ~ never reports Xia Yu''s negative news and lace news, at most some positive reports, and not many. It''s just that some small newspapers have no bottom line. Thinking about future generations, there are a lot of newspapers that like to report on celebrities, giants, and brothers, destroying the coercion of the bosses. For Xia Yu who wants to be the master behind the scenes, this is absolutely intolerable, and this unhealthy trend must be stopped early. After Yan Wenhan retired, Xia Yu looked at the photos on the newspaper again, shook his head helplessly, and sighed inwardly: "My ears are not peaceful these days..." After sighing, he unconsciously thought of He Hongshen, and wondered what to do with He Chaoqiong.

The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station: data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and fresh reading without ads! v3 Chapter 931: The beginning of the new year For the next two days, Xia Yu was completely busy. There are too many companies under his Jiuding Consortium. The local Xiangjiang alone is enough for him to work. Fortunately, the members of his chairman''s office are all elites. The office director Huo Jianning assisted him, which made him a lot easier. This is so, he is also busy from morning to night. And after going home for dinner, he went out in the evening and brought some gifts to Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others for a cup of tea to get in touch. On the 4th, that is the New Year¡¯s Eve. Using the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company as a matrix, the news about the year-end awards of various companies under the Jiuding Consortium was widely reported. Even the sweeping aunts received one month''s salary reward. These news caused a huge sensation in Xiangjiang, and spread to Southeast Asia through the huge media network of Jiuding Newspaper Company. In an instant, the major companies under the Jiuding Consortium became synonymous with good companies in people''s eyes. Many people wondered whether they could enter these companies that would issue year-end awards after the New Year. I believe that after the new year, many talents will definitely jump to companies under the Jiuding Consortium, greatly increasing the soft power of major companies. It is not unreasonable to be able to cause such a big sensation. After all, in this era, it is difficult to find a stable and good job. Not to mention that with the opening of the mainland, many labor-intensive companies with little technical barriers have opened branches in Pengcheng, which is across the river, which has caused a large number of Xiangjiang people to lose their jobs. It''s no wonder that the major companies in Hong Kong are cruel, they are really trying to increase their competitiveness so that they can survive. After all, the labor force in the mainland at this time is too cheap, and the monthly salary of workers is only about 70 Hong Kong dollars! The saved wages are the extra profits. With such cheap labor, it is inevitable that many unskilled workers in Xiangjiang will lose their jobs. Having said that, in this era of Hong Kong, it is not that no company will issue year-end awards, but it is only a very small number of companies, and the distribution is not for the entire company. Generally, it is only limited to the middle and high-level employees. Not bad. So suddenly a large number of companies have issued year-end bonuses, and even the auntie sweeps the floor. But for these, Xia Yu smiled and then forgot about it. This was what he expected. At 11 o''clock in the morning on New Year¡¯s Eve, Xia Yu finally announced a holiday in the conference room of Jiuding Building. After paying a New Year¡¯s greeting to Xia Yu, all company leaders received a beautiful gift prepared by Xia Yu in the lobby and were ready to go home. New year. Amid the blessings of the subordinates, Xia Yu went downstairs and drove to home. Just stepping into the door of the villa, I found that there seemed to be a few more figures in the living room inside the house, and there were bursts of laughter. "A guest at home?" Xia Yu said with a smile, attracting the attention of everyone in the house. "Uncle, you are here!" "A Yu, you''re back and forth, your mother just mentioned you just now." After seeing his uncle Chen Liang, Xia Yu said happily, and Chen Liang also stood up and responded with a smile. "Auntie, cousin, good noon!" ... After a few simple greetings, Xia Yu suddenly smiled and asked: "Uncle, I just saw a car parked in the garage. Did you buy a car?" Chen Liang immediately shook his head and said, "It''s not me, but A Bin bought it. I bought a van with ample space and convenient delivery." Xia Yu looked at his cousin Chen Bin, who was obviously more confident, and smiled and commented: "The van is good and the delivery is practical, but it''s a bit worse when going out to discuss business. Take your time, and you will be able to change cars soon. " Speaking of business, Xia Yu suddenly looked at his cousin and asked, "Cousin, how is the business doing now?" When it comes to his business, Chen Bin lifted his spirits, but said modestly: "It''s okay. The factory is opened. Now there are 25 workers. But now I still rely on Jiuding Toys'' purchase orders." Xia Yu nodded and said: "There are more than 20 people and scale. You don''t have to belittle yourself. As long as your products can maintain the quality and quantity, you must purchase your products under the same circumstances." "If you have time, you can go to the opposite Pengcheng. The labor costs there are particularly low. The factories downstream in the industrial chain can only develop better if they go there." Chen Bin looked contemplative, nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, I have heard many people say that I will go to the other side after the Chinese New Year." "Ok!" "By the way, where is the girlfriend you talked about? How are the two of them getting along?" Xia Yu asked with some interest. For the rich girl who is willing to elope with Chen Bin, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very suitable for an honest person like his cousin. Mentioning his girlfriend, Chen Bin subconsciously smiled, scratched his head and said, "I and Alan are getting along very well." Uncle Chen Liang said gratefully at the right time: "A Yu, thanks to you, otherwise A Bin might not be able to get along with such a good girl." "After knowing that A Bin had opened a factory and was still a supplier of Jiuding Toy Company, his attitude changed a lot and allowed their daughter to get along with A Bin." "That''s good!" Xia Yu said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he looked at his cousin Chen Bin, and said: "Cousin, treat them well." "Poverty can''t forget your kindness, wealth can''t forget your roots. A girl can follow you when you have nothing. This relationship is more precious than anything. When you develop, you can''t be blinded. When will you find a suitable opportunity to marry someone? I have the opportunity to bring you here to sit and let your aunt see." Chen Bin nodded his head: "I will definitely not let Alan down." ... Simply chatting about the homework, it was 12 o''clock soon, and the food was ready, Xia Mu Chenmei greeted everyone to eat at the table: "The food is served, everyone is on the table." Xia Yu immediately got up and took the lead on the table. After lunch, the uncle''s family said goodbye. Regardless of Xia Mu''s repeated attempts to stay, the uncle and others would shun the time to go home and kill the chickens. Xia''s mother could only greet everyone to come and sit after the New Year. Rest for a while at noon. After Xia Yu got up, he affixed the couplet by himself and felt the taste of the year. As time passed, even if Xia Yu''s villa was on the beach, he could still hear the sound of firecrackers coming from a distance. It was a sacrifice to the gods in someone''s home. An afternoon, although it was spent in trivial matters, Xia Yu had a good time instead. At around four o''clock, he also received a call from He Chaoqiong and chatted with He Chaoqiong for ten minutes. And Li Qian was also picked up by the bodyguard. Xia Yu asked briefly, and learned that Ma Qianjun was going to spend the New Year with a group of his brothers, Xia Yu nodded and said nothing. Busy, after taking a shower and eating dinner, Xia Ming and others wore brand-new clothes and set off fireworks in the yard. The three young girls had fun. Even Xia Yu, in order to satisfy Li Qian¡¯s curiosity, Play with her for a while with fireworks. Colorful fireworks bloomed in front of you, lighting up the dark night sky and illuminating the faces of everyone in the yard. Before she knew it, Li Qian took Xia Yu''s hand, leaned Zhenshou on Xia Yu''s shoulder, blinked her big eyes and looked at Xia Yu, and whispered, "A Yu, the fireworks are so beautiful, do they indicate, Our life next year will be as colorful as fireworks?" Xia Yu looked at Li Qian tenderly, stroked her pretty face with his left hand, and then looked towards the sky, his eyes were as deep as the vast starry sky, and his voice was a bit erratic: "Fireworks are beautiful, but they can¡¯t last, but our lives are doomed It will be eternally blooming fireworks." "Yeah!" Li Qian responded softly, her eyes flickering, full of yearning for a better life in the future. Before he knew it, the fireworks had finished, and Xia''s father and Xia''s mother greeted the children to go back to the house to sleep. "Let''s go, it''s late, let''s go back to the house." ... No words for a night After the New Year, Xia Yu also took a good rest at home on the first day of the new year. Starting on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a constant stream of guests came to visit. According to Father Xia cheerfully, the iron threshold of the Xia Mansion had been crushed. When there was no one to visit, Xia Yu also seized the time to visit some people, such as Master Li Chunqiu, Bao Yugang, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, and so on. What should be done is still to be done. Until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, on February 11 of the Gregorian calendar, the whole Hong Kong officially resumed work. Xia Yu convened all his subordinates to open a mobilization meeting for the first time, and arranged some basic tasks after the resumption of work, such as formulating this year''s development plan, personnel recruitment, etc., and then specially left a few people to prepare for in-depth discussion. This year, he will make every effort to build his own nest of Xiangjiang, and at the very least, he must lay the foundation for the strategic development of Xiangjiang! And all his thoughts start today! Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 932: How should the road of Xiangjiang go! Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ "Wang Qi, close the door, these people are there!" Glancing for a moment, Xia Yu said to Wang Qi who was sitting closest to the door. Without a word, the latter got up and closed the door. Apart from Xia Yu, there were only six people in this closed-door meeting! They are Liu Tianci, President of Jiuding Bank, Wang Qi, President of Jiuding Securities, Huo Jianning, President and Chairman of the Office of Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., Wang Liming, Head of Political Research Institute of Jiuding Think Tank, Xu Wen, Head of Social Research Institute, and Head of Business Research Institute Lin Shanyuan! Three capable men and three of his brains! Three young people and three old people at the same time! The two teams sat on both sides of Xia Yu clearly. Xia Yu coughed lightly, attracted everyone¡¯s attention to himself, and then said: ¡°The reason why you are left alone for a closed-door meeting this time is that it involves an idea of ??mine that can affect Xiangjiang¡¯s direction and influence. The thoughts of millions of people in Xiangjiang." "That''s about the future of Xiangjiang!" Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused for a moment. Seeing that all six people listened attentively, he solemnly said: "What kind of development path should Xiangjiang take, and what pillar industries should it build!" As soon as these words came out, everyone''s expressions changed, and they frowned, thinking about the purpose of Chairman Xia Yu. After all, what Xia Yu said is too weird. How should Hong Kong develop? This is entirely what the Hong Kong government should do. Only the Hong Kong government can determine the development path of Hong Kong through policy planning. It happens that a businessman such as the boss is in the heart of the Hong Kong government. At this moment, Xu Wen, the head of the Institute of Social Studies, asked: "Boss, before this, can I know the relationship between you and Xiangjiang in your mind?" When this question came to the point, everyone immediately focused their attention on Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "Everyone is our own and understands my company better than outsiders. In fact, in terms of comprehensive strength, the Jiuding Consortium has firmly ranked first in Xiangjiang." "It''s just that Xiangjiang is a small pond for the world, so in order to break the growth limit, the Jiuding Consortium is expanding its foreign investment." "But in any case, Xiangjiang is the basic board of the Jiuding Consortium. It is the foundation. Throughout the world, there is only Xiangjiang that can allow the Jiuding Consortium to take root without any scruples." "So in my opinion, the Jiuding Consortium is already tied to Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang must embark on the path that is most beneficial to the Jiuding Consortium." "Only when Xiangjiang develops well, Xiangjiang''s status in the mainland and the world will be higher, and the Jiuding Consortium will have more room for activities." Xu Wen nodded and said, "I understand." After speaking, his face was contemplative. He had no doubts, but Wang Liming, the head of the Political Research Institute sitting on his left, asked. "Boss, I also have a question that needs your clearer view." "Just ask!" "Due to historical problems, Xiangjiang was sandwiched between Britain and the mainland, and since MacLehose went north, the return of Xiangjiang and political issues have become a dark cloud over Xiangjiang." "I know your position is biased towards the mainland, but I want to know your clear attitude towards the mainland."... After speaking, Wang Liming looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu did not hesitate and replied directly: "Xiangjiang is destined to return to the mainland. Britain cannot stop a continent with the world''s largest population and decisive power. Xiangjiang has only one way to return from beginning to end." "But Xiangjiang is currently a capitalist society, and there is no good way to integrate the two systems. Therefore, even if it returns, Xiangjiang will have high autonomy." "The mainland currently has a population of one billion people and its business potential is endless. It is only a matter of time before it is developed. This market is extremely important to the Jiuding Consortium." "The Jiuding Consortium will be close to the mainland, but my attitude is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Try to talk at an equal height instead of letting Xiangjiang and the Jiuding Consortium become vassals of the mainland. Seeing the boss finished speaking, Wang Liming nodded, thinking and analyzing quickly in his heart. Seeing that Wang Liming had no doubt, Xia Yu took the initiative to look at Professor Lin Shanyuan, the head of the Institute of Business Studies who had not yet asked questions. However, Lin Shanyuan shook his head slightly when facing Xia Yu''s questioning gaze, saying that there was no doubt for the time being. Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci and the others, and asked, "What about you, do you have any questions?" The three shook their heads one after another. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said loudly: "Then going back to the original question, how to develop Xiangjiang and what kind of pillar industry to build is the most beneficial to the Jiuding Consortium!" As soon as his voice fell, Liu Tianci, who had a gully in his chest, said immediately: "Chairman, finance is the blood of commerce. No matter what industry Xiangjiang develops, it needs huge funds, so the financial industry must become the pillar industry of Xiangjiang!" "You have also told me about the advantages of Xiangjiang in developing the financial industry and the possibility of becoming a global financial center. I personally feel that there are still many deficiencies in Xiangjiang''s financial industry, which severely restrict the development of Xiangjiang!" "Although the Hong Kong government has decided to merge the four major exchanges in Hong Kong from the high-level design aspect last year, due to various interests, there is little progress now. According to my estimation, if this continues, it will not be possible to merge in four or five years. , The disadvantage is too great!" Xia Yu nodded, but did not make a statement, but looked at others. Lin Shanyuan this ^0^Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ When Shi finally spoke up, he slowly said, "Boss, I agree with Liu Tianci''s point of view. In addition, Xiangjiang''s current position in the trading industry, which currently accounts for a large part of the economy, will not change in the future." "And because Xiangjiang is the only window to the mainland, the mainland needs huge materials in all aspects to develop its economy. This is the potential of the market." "But this is not the key. Xiangjiang has a special geographical location. I think the second pillar industry suitable for Xiangjiang is trade and logistics." "Combining trade with logistics and transportation, economic contribution is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can enhance Xiangjiang''s position in the global business environment. Although the shipping market is gradually declining, this is the result of the unified impact of market cycles and the global business environment. In the long run, shipping prospects are still broad, and there are many ports in Hong Kong, and it is located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the geographical position is superior." "However, logistics is not limited to sea transportation, and land transportation is not mentioned. The air transportation market has not been fully developed and has huge potential."... "If the logistics industry is built, then Xiangjiang''s position in the global trade market will be greatly improved, whether it is economic or political, it will be of great benefit to the Jiuding Consortium!" The last sentence also has a potential meaning, that is to allow the Jiuding Consortium to deeply participate in the global economy, then the status of the Jiuding Consortium will be greatly improved. By then, regardless of whether Xiangjiang returns, the Jiuding Consortium will have enough room for advance and retreat, and the mainland must Treat it with caution. At this time, Xu Wen, the head of the Institute of Social Studies, sorted out his thoughts. He did not wait for Xia Yu to ask. After Lin Shanyuan finished speaking, he immediately said: "The financial industry, trade and the physical industry can achieve the effect of greatly improving the economic ceiling and status of Xiangjiang, but I personally think that Hong Kong must have a manufacturing industry, and it must also be a heavy industry!" "Now that the mainland has reopened, the manufacturing industry related to Hong Kong¡¯s people¡¯s livelihood has begun to move to the mainland. The general trend is irreversible, but the consequences will be particularly serious, which will lead to a sharp increase in the unemployment rate in Hong Kong. Not only that, it also involves the hollowing out of the industry, which will trigger a series of serious consequence." "If you want to keep the manufacturing industry, you can only upgrade the industrial structure, from low-end light industry to high-end heavy industry. Taking into account the reality of Xiangjiang, the most suitable industries are machinery manufacturing, energy, chemicals and materials." ... Next everyone speaks freely. The answer Xia Yu wanted became clearer. Hong Kong needs financial industry, trade and logistics industry, manufacturing industry in heavy industry, and high value-added electronics industry. There is no real estate industry that is booming now! It is not that no one mentions the real estate industry, but when every population mentions it, the real estate industry plays a negative role. The reason is the same. High housing prices will destroy the living soil of trade and logistics, heavy industry, electronics industry and other manufacturing industries! Compared with these industries, although the Jiuding Consortium is the largest landlord in Hong Kong, the real estate industry will overdraft the potential of the entire Xiangjiang, and it will also weaken the political and economic influence of the Jiuding Consortium in Asia and the world. ps: The protagonist is about to transform Xiangjiang. Everyone can talk freely about how to develop Xiangjiang to benefit the protagonist! Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^ v3 Chapter 933: Salary from the bottom kills real estate Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ Everyone here can understand the hazards of the real estate industry. Therefore, after talking about it, everyone regards solving the real estate industry problems as a precondition for the development of other industries. As long as the real estate industry is contained, other industries that are not related to real estate can have broad room for development. Otherwise, even if other industries flourish, the subsequent skyrocketing housing prices will destroy these achievements. Xia Yu is very clear about this, and most people in later generations also know it. Just look at the choice of Huawei as a star company in Pengcheng. Although restraining the high housing prices in Hong Kong will affect their future interests, after all, I am the largest landlord in Hong Kong besides the Hong Kong government. But I am not only involved in one real estate industry, and I am not as dependent on the real estate industry as Li Jiacheng, Wang Dehui and others do. Compared with the wealth that other industries may create for myself, the real estate benefits are sesame seeds. Come to think of it, even Sun Hung Kai Properties, one of the four kings of Hong Kong Real Estate, has a profit of less than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars for the whole year, which is not even US$8 billion in US dollars. If HeungKong develops an automobile company, a chemical company, an electronics giant, or a pharmaceutical giant, which one cannot easily surpass Sun Hung Kai Properties? Even the four giants of Heung Kong Real Estate in later generations can''t have a combined annual turnover of Samsung Electronics. This is the stark gap! Just knowing the severity is one thing, but how to effectively contain it is another. However, Wang Liming, head of the Institute of Political Science, pointed out the key points. "Boss, although Xiangjiang looks like a small land with a lot of people, but in fact, the per capita area can reach 220 square meters. This area is not too small. The reason why housing prices have started to rise is the current private and public residential land. Only three percent of Hong Kong!" "If we calculate 3% of the land area, the land area per capita is only 6.6 square meters!" "Although Xiangjiang''s capital has gradually focused on the real estate industry, the general trend has gradually consolidated, but this general trend is not unbreakable. At present, I think there are two methods. The first is to develop private and public residential land to 100%. Above six, the second is another stock market crash. Both of these methods are enough to cause a devastating blow to the real estate industry." "With the current unstable political factors in Xiangjiang, as long as the British government clashed with the mainland, it would definitely trigger a huge panic and the stock market plummet would happen again." "And now the real estate industry has not completely kidnapped the Hong Kong government. There is still a lot of room for operation. Boss, your strength in the real estate industry is strong enough. If you are willing to sacrifice the interests of the real estate industry and stand on the united front with the Hong Kong government, the real estate industry cannot kidnap the government. Hong Kong Government." "So in my opinion, the capital factor is not an urgent one. The most urgent is another one-the concept of environmental protection!" Hearing this, Xia Yu''s brows trembled. When the others were still a little confused, he instantly understood what Wang Liming was about to say, and remembered something. He has read some related reports in his previous life. Of the more than 1,100 square kilometers of land in Hong Kong, two-thirds of the land is planned as undeveloped woodland, grassland, wasteland, wetland and shrubland. Once the return of the Hong Kong government wants to recover and develop the land, Or if other people want to use the land, free groups, environmentalists, and members of the Legislative Council will hinder it through consultation and legal procedures. The most typical example is the "Northeast New Territories Development Plan", which was originally intended to build 60,000 residential units, of which 36,000 are social housing units, to increase the small and medium-sized housing that Hong Kong people urgently need. However, it was stranded due to opposition from social groups. The Hong Kong government was forced to reclaim the sea and land at a high cost. However, even if it was land reclamation, it was later criticized by social groups for destroying the marine ecology and other reasons. In the end, the bill could not be passed, and the Hong Kong government was in a dilemma. House prices continue to rise. In fact, in the later generations, the strata that had risen by the real estate industry had already stood at the upper level of the pyramid, and real estate developers had already stood behind the major social groups, and they had become mixed together. However, it stands to reason that the real estate industry has only developed for more than ten years now. Although the big bosses who rely on the rise of the real estate industry have emerged, their influence is still far away, and there is absolutely no such big control! It''s just that Xia Yu didn''t pay attention to the fact that the environmental groups had already begun to take action. At this time, Wang Liming continued: "The Country Parks Regulations passed in 1976 have already protected country parks and special areas with a total area of ??over 1.5 million square kilometers and cannot be developed!" "Now Xiangjiang''s environmental protection concept is getting stronger and stronger, and many environmental groups have emerged, and they still have a lot of influence in society." "Appropriate protection is understandable, but I am afraid that the environmental protection concept will become a knife, be used by others, become a political springboard for some people, and finally become mixed with capital!" "If several similar "Country Parks Regulations" are passed, even if Hong Kong wants to develop industry, it will not be able to build a large enough technology industrial park, and the real estate industry will get huge off-site assistance! Even if we stand with the Hong Kong government On the same front, you will also face tremendous pressure." "So my suggestion is to use capital to infiltrate and control major social groups from now on, and at the same time begin to deliberately guide public opinion and control the concept of environmental protection to a certain limit." "And we need to increase our influence on the Legislative Council before we can take the lead in the development of Hong Kong." "I have thoroughly studied the political patterns of Europe, America and island countries ^0^Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ I believe that the Jiuding Consortium needs to specifically list an invisible expenditure every year for political activities. " Wang Liming¡¯s long-length talk was very informative, which shocked Liu Tianci and others, especially his last sentence, although it was relatively euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear, which was to create consortium politics. Think about this in the future generations of the stick country. The political influence of the top ten consortia in South Korea is not surprising, especially the leading Samsung consortium, which has a significant influence on the policies of the Korean government. Although Liu Tianci and others were shocked, Xia Yu had already guessed that the corners of his mouth raised slightly at this time, showing his attitude towards Wang Liming''s opinions. Seeing Wang Liming''s gaze, Xia Yu immediately commented: "Your suggestion is very good, I will focus on it." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Liming smiled. As a think tank, it is his job to advise the boss, and it is his ability to be accepted. Xu Wen, the head of the Social Research Institute, is unwilling to be compared with his old friend with such a dazzling performance. He sorted out his thoughts a bit, and said: "Boss, the preconditions for the suppression of the real estate industry can be completed. Going back to your plan for Xiangjiang, I think there is still a huge shortcoming to make up for, that is, talent shortcoming!" "You want Xiangjiang to develop high-value industries, but the threshold for high-value industries is also high, and the requirements for talents are more stringent. With Xiangjiang''s current talent system and education system, it is not enough to support the high-quality development of these industries." "It can be said that the total amount and quality of talents determines the development height of these industries and also determines the competitiveness and influence of Xiangjiang." "It takes a long time to build these industries and make an impact, and during this time, talents must keep up." "Although you have established Jiuding University, Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Xiangjiang Culture and Media School, together with Xiangjiang¡¯s original university and professional colleges, after graduating from high school, only less than 4% of the students can attend. Local higher education, this kind of education foundation is too weak, the base is too small, and the rate of talent production is too low. This problem should be solved as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" "In this regard, if you continue to build or expand the university, the boss is not impossible, but the best way is to let the Hong Kong government formulate relevant education policies!" Xu Wen also mentioned the key point. Xia Yu gave him an admiring look, then looked at Huo Jianning next to him, and found that he had written a lot of content in his notebook. Next, the meeting continued. Until twelve o''clock, Xia Yu saw that the time was late and the general context had come out, so he took the initiative to end. "It''s getting late and everyone is hungry. I will make a summary first." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, looked at Liu Tianci, and said to him: "Heaven, no matter what industry you want to develop in the future, you need the support of the bank This heavy burden will be on Jiuding Bank. After you go back, you make a rough support plan." "Ok!" Liu Tianci responded immediately and recorded it. Xia Yu said to Lin Shanyuan and others: "Three professors, after the meeting, you still need to study the contents of today in detail, and make strategic planning and implementation plans as soon as possible." Lin Shanyuan and others successively stated that there was no problem. "Jianning, you will work hard this afternoon to sort out the contents of the meeting and give a copy to everyone sitting here." "Everyone must remember that the content of today''s meeting must be kept strictly confidential and must not be disclosed." "understand!" ps: This chapter extracts some of your opinions, thank you, and some of the opinions are saved and used later! If you have a good idea, leave a message in the comment area, and copy some book reviews, brother! Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^ v3 Chapter 934: Start with education Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ If you want to do the work of MacLehose, you must have something to impress and persuade him. Xia Yu can only deal with other things before his think tank has come up with a complete plan. At the beginning of the new year, there are so many things in the Jiuding Consortium, and many of them need him, the highest helm. However, although the complete plan has not yet come out, some things are destined to be done sooner rather than later, such as talents and education. After exhaustion from work, Xia Yu took some time and came to Jiuding University again. After more than a month, he came to Jiuding University again, and Xia Yu saw a new look. The layout and structure of the entire school remains largely unchanged, but there are many minor improvements, such as the flowers and trees on both sides of the campus road, various sculptures, and small buildings with special decorations. At least Xia Yu shuttled through Jiuding University again, feeling a lot more comfortable. And one thing that stands out is that he meets people more frequently in college. Most of the people I met were middle-aged and above, and they should be teachers from various universities in mainland China who came to help build universities. Sure enough, after seeing Wang Gengwu, Xia Yu got the exact answer from him. "Mr. Xia, do you want me to call in person in charge from the universities in mainland China to recommend you?" Standing in the corridor in front of the office of the principal of the administration building, Wang Gengwu said to Xia Yu who was looking around. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and rejected Wang Gengwu''s proposal: "It doesn''t need to be so troublesome, as long as you know the specific construction situation." Wang Gengwu immediately nodded and said: "Every week I will convene everyone to meet the situation, so I can understand most of the situation of the whole school, and I know the progress of each college." "That''s OK, let''s go in and talk, and you can talk to me!" After speaking, Xia Yu turned and walked into the principal''s office and sat down on the sofa. Wang Gengwu sat down immediately, and then narrated the situation of the school. Xia Yu listened quietly, nodding from time to time. Before he knew it, nearly forty minutes later, Wang Gengwu drank three cups of tea, and finally finished his general situation of the school. Xia Yu said aloud: "In other words, the mainland''s assistance is very strong, and the teaching staff of each college is no longer a problem. The teaching design work of each college has also been carried out more than half. Is it expected to be completed in April? " Wang Gengwu nodded and said, "Yes, April is the most conservative deadline. If it goes well, it can be a while earlier." "According to the predetermined plan, independent enrollment will be carried out immediately." Just now, Wang Gengwu and Xia Yu talked about self-enrollment. This also took into account Xia Yu''s previous proposal, which was aimed at the geniuses of partial subjects. After all, Jiuding University is not a public university. Wang Gengwu has no administrative pressure, so when it comes to enrollment, he will not be so rigid. And he has Xia Yu as the backing, and he can block anyone who walks through the back door without any hesitation, unless Xia Yu opens his mouth to let people in. According to his idea, it is to recruit talented people as much as possible, make the best use of their talents, and cultivate them in a targeted manner. In this way, the rate of production will be higher, which is beneficial to the reputation of Jiuding University. Human energy is limited, and the knowledge of the world is endless. In Xia Yu''s view, the situation in Xiangjiang is now different from that of the mainland. What he needs is not mediocrity who knows everything but nothing, but an elite in a certain area! In this world, there are indeed many geniuses with partial disciplines, such as Qian Zhongshu, Ji Xianlin, Luo Jialun, Zang Kejia and others. If they were not admitted by universities, then they would not receive a better education, and it would be hard to say whether they would have subsequent achievements! Therefore, the independent enrollment of Jiuding University is a bright road for those geniuses who have partial subjects. It is good for students and the school! It is worth mentioning that Jiuding University implements the same lenient entry and strict exit system as American universities, focusing on credits and gpa! This gives the partial subjects a chance to come in. The university study is mainly on their own. In addition to the basic compulsory courses, other courses can be chosen according to their own preferences. As long as you complete the credits, skip grades and graduate early, you can, if you don¡¯t complete them, then Repeat. Having said that, in addition to self-enrollment, there will be normal admissions in July and August until the start of school in September. There is still more than half a year before September, and there is still plenty of time! Therefore, Xia Yu talked about his purpose of coming here specially. "President Wang, according to your communication with the mainland education department and the understanding of various universities, the faculty over there is not enough to allow Jiuding University to continue to expand several times?" "The faculty I said must have real talents!" Although Xia Yu knew that the mainland would definitely open the door to him in this respect, he wanted not only quantity but also quality. Wang Gengwu must know the specific situation better. Hearing this, Wang Gengwu thought carefully, nodded and said, "I also went to various universities in mainland China before, and I had in-depth discussions and consultations with the professors who assisted in the construction. There is no shortage of talents in the mainland. Mr. Xia, your friendship with the mainland Relationship, as long as you speak up, Jiuding University will be able to find a tenfold faculty force!" After speaking, he asked the question in his mind: "Mr. Xia, are you planning to expand Jiuding University in the near future?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "Not only in the recent period, I intend to strongly support Xiangjiang''s education and construction. Xiangjiang has a large gap of high-quality talents in all walks of life. The current enrollment of Jiuding University is not enough!" ^0^Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ "If a new science and engineering college is expanded now, will it be too late to recruit students together this year?" Wang Gengwu frowned and quickly calculated in his heart. Xia Yu didn''t bother, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly. For a long time, Wang Geng Wucai said: "Mr. Xia, there is still half a year to leave school. Teachers, teaching materials and curriculum design can be completed. You can open a college and professional enrollment first, as long as you can complete it before the school starts!" "However, if the enrollment is expanded, then according to the current school building and dormitory building, it will have to be adjusted." "Jiuding University can accommodate 20,000 faculty and students. This year¡¯s enrollment plan is to open a quarter of the dormitories. The main teaching building and the teaching buildings of each college will all be opened." "Each college has its own teaching building. If you want to open new colleges and majors, you can only combine the two colleges to use one teaching building, because there are only freshman students this year and it won''t be crowded." "But this is a potential hazard that can only last until the sophomore year, because if the enrollment is doubled, the entire school will be full by the sophomore year." Xia Yu understood what Wang Gengwu meant, and he immediately stated: "President Wang, don''t worry about that. I can build Jiuding University in one year. It is easy to double the expansion in two years." "I will arrange for people to communicate and arrange the school expansion. You don''t have to worry about the land and construction." "After a while, I will ask you to have a meeting together, and then I will determine which colleges and majors will be opened." Xia Yu''s plan is to compare the current Jiuding University to see what talent training system is still lacking after the complete plan comes out, and then set it up in a targeted manner. Wang Gengwu immediately nodded and said, "Okay, what preparations do I need to do these days?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "You first find out the professional advantages of these universities in mainland China in science and engineering, and then it will be convenient for counterpart assistance." "You can also mobilize contacts to find out. In addition to these aided universities, other universities in mainland China have professors and scientists. The Huaxia Academy of Sciences may not be able to find them, but there are certainly many outstanding talents who have not been selected to the Academy of Sciences but are not bad. ." "The more lists you can find, the more talents I can dig for Jiuding University. If you can''t figure it out, just leave it to me." In order to help his university recruit more talents, Xia Yu put himself down to ask the mainland for help! Xia Yu knew that although Huaxia now has two houses, these two houses are not the other two houses. At present, China has only the Huaxia Academy of Sciences established when the People''s Republic of China was founded, and the China Academy of Social Sciences, which was approved to be established in 1978. As for one of the two academies in later generations, the Huaxia Institute of Engineering, which represents the highest honor in China''s engineering and technology industry, will not be established until 1994, when it will gather some of the country''s top engineering and technical personnel. Taking into account the peculiarities of the times, there are not a few high-level and top-level engineering and technical scientists who have been omitted from all parts of the country and in the private sector. Instead of letting them waste more than ten or two decades, or even grow old with regrets, it is better to let them use their talents to come to Jiuding University, which has better scientific research conditions and environment, and engage in scientific research with peace of mind in this life and create more lives. value! In this era without the Internet, many people are engaged in scientific research! Wang Gengwu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Xia, don''t worry, I will start to do this today!" ... Next, Xia Yu chatted with Wang Gengwu for a long time, mainly to ask him what difficulties he had, etc., he ordered someone to record it, and then arranged to solve it. Near noon, Xia Yu went straight home. When he went to work in the afternoon, he called Liu Shihao, the president of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. again. Before that, Liu Shihao was in charge of Jiuding University''s related affairs He knew the situation better. Xia Yu chatted with Liu Shihao for more than 20 minutes and asked him to prepare for the expansion of Jiuding University. The Hong Kong Kowloon Peninsula covers an area of ??more than 47 square kilometers. At this time, Jiuding University occupies only 60 hectares. If one square kilometer is equal to 100 hectares, Jiuding University occupies 0.6 square kilometers, which accounts for the area of ??the Kowloon Peninsula. About 1.2%. Moreover, the subsequent expansion issue was considered before, and the Hong Kong government thought of the issue of commercial development, so Jiuding University is located in Qingshui Bay, a relatively remote area of ??Kowloon at this time. Clearwater Bay was well developed in later generations, but it is still relatively deserted, so there are not many people around Jiuding University, and the difficulty of demolition is small enough to more than triple the expansion of Jiuding University. The affairs of Jiuding University are temporarily put aside, Xia Yu, outside of work, set his sights on the distant European continent-France! Only more than two months before the first round of voting in the presidential election, the competition among various parties has been fierce! Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^ v3 Chapter 935: Strong strength in the French media field Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ After Xia Yu secretly met with Fran?ois Mitterrand in the island country, he returned to Xiangjiang and contacted George Berkeley in London, and told him to take a series of actions against France immediately. The task is clear, that is, to expand the influence of French public opinion and help Fran?ois Mitterrand campaign. And the most urgent thing was to shoot a film satirizing the current French President Destin. In order to start filming and screen smoothly, it was necessary to have a film and theater company that absolutely obeyed orders. George Berkeley ordered people to collect information on the French film and theater market, and faxed it to Xia Yu secretly. In the end Xia Yu determined the Le acquisition target, which is now one of the five largest film companies in France, EMI. It was EMI Films, not the prestigious EMI Records of later generations. The reason why EMI, as the five largest French film company, was acquired by Xia Yu, thanks to Hollywood¡¯s erosion of the French film market, which led to the fact that the 150 local film companies in France can only occupy half of the local film market, so Rao Rao EMI is one of the five largest film companies in France, and its value is not particularly high, and it is simply not enough to compare with the eight giants of Hollywood! Originally, at the beginning, Xia Yu was also interested in acquiring the most famous French film company Gaomeng, but then George Berkeley collected data analysis, Gaomeng film company temporarily can not be wholly-owned acquisition, at most only a part of the shares can be used to implement the plan There will be great risks. The reason is that Gaumont Films is a subsidiary of the French media advertising giant Havas Group, and the Havas Group is a semi-state owned by the French government. For Havas Group, Xia Yu is also a little coveted, this is a powerful media giant, one of the world''s six major advertising and media groups. During World War II, the French Betain puppet government ordered Havas¡¯ news business to be independent from the advertising business, and the independent news business became AFP. You can see the strength of the Havas group. It''s a pity that the French government currently holds a part of the equity, and there is no way. It can only wait for the French privatization wave to seize the opportunity in a few years. Fortunately, the strength of EMI Films is not inferior to that of Gaomeng Films. Founded in 1896, EMI Films was once the leader of the film industry in France and the world. Although it is now declining, more than 80 years of heritage still remains. . EMI is not only a veteran film production company, but also the top five film distribution company in France. It owns 182 cinemas and a total of 215 screens, occupying percent of the French cinema market share. 4.7, second only to 5.1% of Gaomeng Film Company, ranking second! However, EMI Films is a company that has spent more than 80 years. The common problem of this old company is that the company has changed hands several times and the control has long been in the hands of the founder''s family. This is a good thing for Xia Yu who wants to acquire. Under Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s active matchmaking, in the face of the ever-increasing quotations of the French branch of the Mirror Group under the Bright Fund, the top five major shareholders finally fell under the franc offensive. After the major shareholder was settled, other minority shareholders were not worried, and with the full assistance of the French Socialist Party, it took more than 20 days. EMI, one of the five largest French film companies, quietly changed hands, Francois Mitter Lang also put a lot of effort to keep it secret, so that there was no media coverage. After the acquisition of EMI Films, a film called "The Lonely Destin" was quickly set up to shoot in secret. In addition, the French branch of the Mirror Group immediately invested US$10 million in EMI Films to acquire theaters in other major cities in France. In just two months, the number of theaters increased to 238, and the number of screens increased. At RMB 269, it occupies 6.2% of the theater market and surpassed Gaumont Films in one fell swoop to build the largest film distribution network in France. According to Fran?ois Mitterrand''s big plan, the movie is only one part of it. After the acquisition of EMI Films, the French branch of the Mirror Group took the list of newspapers provided by Fran?ois Mitterrand to support the French right-wing party positions, and once again opened the franc offensive. In fact, Xia Yu prefers to buy TV stations or radio stations, but after investigation, he found regretfully that, compared with France¡¯s encouragement and laissez-faire to the newspaper and magazine industry, the control of TV stations and radio stations is extremely strict, and now it is not allowed to open private radio stations and radio stations. TV station. Therefore, Xia Yu could only secretly wait for Fran?ois Mitterrand to let him let go of his control over radio and television stations after he came to power. However, in actual action, he did not get muddled and asked George Berkeley to buy right-wing newspapers. Compared with the acquisition of a politically neutral newspaper, the acquisition of a newspaper with a right-wing position can double the effect of weakening. After spending 56 million US dollars in three months, the French branch of the Mirror Group increased the number of newspapers it owns from eight to 59, and also took over a large periodical publishing group. Owns France¡¯s largest daily newspaper "Le Figaro". In order to assist the Mirror Group in acquiring these newspapers, Fran?ois Mitterrand put a lot of effort into it, and almost used his contacts in politics for decades. However, the Mirror Group did not disappoint Fran?ois Mitterrand. After the end of the months-long acquisition, in January this year, as the presidential election approached, the media from all over France gradually focused on In the political field, the Mirror Group has finally begun to exert its strength. The positive report on Fran?ois Mitterrand and the ^0^Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ Skull Destin¡¯s political achievements and policies are increasingly questioned. In France, in addition to the Mirror Group branch, Xia Yu also owns a top five newspaper giant, the Hachette Publishing Group, which belongs to Jiuding Book Publishing Company. Under Xia Yu¡¯s instruction, this publishing group The newspaper also stands in the position of Fran?ois Mitterrand. With a steady stream of financial support, Fran?ois Mitterrand and his Socialist Party held rallies and speeches at all costs and carried out various political activities, which were very active. Gizcal Destin, who had originally focused most of his attention on Fag, was very vigilant and regarded Fran?ois Mitterrand as a thorn in his eye. In particular, every time Fran?ois Mitterrand launches a political activity, he will play a movie called Destin, and EMI Films also released it for free. After seeing it once by Giscar Destin, Furious at home, scared the beloved granddaughter to tears. But since he jumped out to participate in the presidential election, the purpose is to knock Giscar Destin from the presidency. Fran?ois Mitterrand didn¡¯t care about Giscar Destin¡¯s hostile attitude and encountered it in private. After Giskar Destin, there was even more ridicule. When entering February The Mirror Group conducted a private opinion survey. The results of the survey were not released to the public. Only Fran?ois Mitterrand was told, and the results were also reported to George. Berkeley, then George Berkeley will report to Xia Yu. Only then did Xia Yu learn about the latest situation in the French election. Secret opinion polls show that Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s approval rating is five percentage points higher than the current President Giscar Destin! The disappointment rate of the people with Giskar Destin''s governance is more than half! The effect is extremely remarkable! As long as it remains stable until the results of the second round of voting in early May, with Fran?ois Mitterrand coming to power, Xia Yu''s situation in France will be completely opened. By then, it will be time to avenge the Rohill family! Regarding the previous series of insidious behaviors of the Roshir family, Xia Yu has always kept in mind, and he will not be reconciled if he does not come back without revenge and does not bite the Roshir family! Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^ v3 Chapter 936: Meet MacLehose Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ As time went by, and a week was fleeting, Lin Shanyuan and others finally came up with a more complete plan. Xia Yu once again convened everyone for a meeting, and at the same time called Wang Gengwu to attend the meeting. After brainstorming, the plan was further improved, and the new departments and majors of Jiuding University were also confirmed. After the meeting, Xia Yu ordered Huo Jianning to contact the Hong Kong government and voted a greeting. MacLehose confirmed that he would be able to set aside an afternoon to meet Xia Yu in the afternoon. In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yu raised his spirits, took Huo Jianning and his bodyguards, and drove to the Governor''s Mansion. Led by MacLehose''s personal secretary, Xia Yu and others came to MacLehose''s office. Seeing Xia Yu''s figure appear at the door, MacLehose, who was working on the documents, immediately smiled and stood up to greet him. "Mr. Xia, you are welcome!" "Mr. Governor, good afternoon!" "good afternoon!" After a good greeting between hello and me, MacLehose led Xia Yu and Huo Jianning to sit down. After his secretary asked them their preferences, they began to make tea. "Mr. Governor, I have to take up more of your precious time this afternoon." Before the tea was brewed, Xia Yu said in a joking tone. MacLehose smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, you are modest by saying that. You say that my time is precious. Isn''t your time more precious than mine?" "Throughout the entire Xiangjiang, you are the first person to be the guest of the President of the United States, and what you are talking about has long been more than just a small Xiangjiang." "As the person with the strongest vision and strength in Xiangjiang International, I have always wanted to have a good chat with you." After all, MacLehose is not an ordinary person. Although Xia Yu did not let Jiuding Newspaper Company report news related to him, the impact of the change of the US president was too great, and MacLehose would naturally get relevant news from other channels. In Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was still able to control public opinion, but in the United States and Europe, the appearance of Xia Yu, a yellow man, also attracted the attention of some media. However, MacLehose did not learn from the media, but from the news from the United Kingdom, reminding him that Xia Yu''s international influence is already extraordinary, and he should pay more attention. Xia Yu didn''t care, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Governor, I am not a guest of the President of the United States. I just happen to have some topics in common with Reagan, such as economics and employment." "It just so happens that I have seen a lot of things in the United States this time, and I was very touched, so I came this time to have a good chat with Mr. Governor." "Think about it carefully. It seems that although I have visited Mr. Governor many times, I have never really sat down and talked." MacLehose smiled and nodded, then asked, "Yes, but isn''t it a good start now?" "Yes!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded back. Then he looked straight and said: "Mr. Governor, although I have a lot of business in the UK and the US, in the final analysis, Xiangjiang is where I was born and raised. This is my hometown. You have been in Xiangjiang for more than nine years. It¡¯s time, we should know the Chinese''s love for their hometown." MacLehose nodded in understanding. He really understood and respected the Chinese local feelings. Xia Yu continued: "Although Xiangjiang is my hometown, I can say bluntly that only after seeing the appearance of developed countries, I have a specific concept of Xiangjiang''s backwardness and poverty. If I don''t have the ability, that''s all. Since I have a certain ability, then I can''t let it go." "My original intention is the same as you!" "Mr. Governor, you have been deeply loved and supported by Hong Kong people for more than nine years in power in Hong Kong. You are the best Governor in Hong Kong''s history. You have promoted drastic reforms and made Hong Kong''s society profound. Under your administration, Xiangjiang has undergone earth-shaking changes in medical care, education, transportation, welfare, social security, and infrastructure." Hearing this, MacLehose couldn''t help but smile. The same sentence will have completely different effects in different populations. Compared with ordinary people, Xia Yu''s praise of his ruling performance from a top boss is undoubtedly quite pleasant to MacLehose, and he is very comfortable to hear. Xia Yu is not flattering and flattering, but has a point. It is like the merits and demerits cannot be offset. Motivation belongs to motive, action belongs to action! It is undeniable that MacLehose¡¯s ruling Hong Kong has elements of wrestling with the mainland and establishing a positive image of Britain in the eyes of Hong Kong people. But he did make huge changes in Xiangjiang. Under his administration, Chinese became the official language of the land in Xiangjiang. The construction of public housing in ten years improved the living environment of at least one million citizens, and nine years of compulsory education was implemented. The Independent Commission Against Corruption was created, the subway was built, and people''s livelihood was improved. Later, Xiangjiang became the "Four Asian Dragons" because of the solid foundation he laid during his ten and a half years of tenure. But Xia Yu didn''t just come here to make MacLehose happy. Then he changed the conversation and said: "Mr. Governor, you came to Xiangjiang in 1971, this year is 1981, and your tenure will soon expire ten years. Although there are still seven or eight months, things are basically set. , The outside world has begun to talk about the ten-year period that is about to pass and the new ten-year period that is about to begin." "At this critical time, my heart told me that I should do more for Xiangjiang!" "in ^0^Remember in one second¡¾¡¿ Legally, it is the responsibility and obligation of the Hong Kong government to build Hong Kong, but if you look at it on a larger scale, it is the unshirkable responsibility of every Hong Kong citizen. " "I think, with my ability, I should be able to help the Hong Kong government!" MacLehose felt that he had roughly understood the meaning of Xia Yu''s words, so he nodded affirmatively without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, if you have no ability, then no one in Xiangjiang has this ability!" "You have made an indelible contribution to Xiangjiang in education, anticipation, charity, employment, etc.!" "On behalf of the Hong Kong government, I thank you for your dedication to Hong Kong, and sincerely hope that you can continue to contribute to Hong Kong!" Xia Yu smiled and humbled before saying: "Since Mr. Governor approves, then I will speak straight." "Please speak!" MacLehose stretched out his right hand and made a please gesture. "The first thing is about Jiuding University." With that, Xia Yu looked at Huo Jianning next to him. Huo Jianning immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu handed it to MacLehose. The latter immediately took it. Xia Yu¡¯s words followed: "Mr. Governor, the first phase of Jiuding University has been completed. You also participated in the groundbreaking ceremony before, and the school will start in September this year. This is about the situation and planning of Jiuding University. Check it out in a few minutes." "Ok!" MacLehose nodded and replied, then opened the file in his hand. A few minutes later, McLehose said to Xia Yu in surprise: "Mr. Xia, Jiuding University plans to enroll 8,000 students this year? This number has exceeded the total enrollment of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University!" Xia Yu immediately said: "Yes, but even so, this year most students will still be unable to receive higher education after graduating from high school. If possible, I would like to increase the number of enrollment, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it." "Jiuding University can enroll 8,000 students, so it will benefit at least 8,000 families!" MacLehose first affirmed Jiuding University, and then asked: "However, Mr. Xia, running a university is not simply to recruit students, but to give students a good education. Can Jiuding University achieve this?" Xia Yu replied: ¡°It can be achieved. In terms of hardware, Jiuding University has received a total of more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars in social donations. In addition to the construction of the school and the purchase of various hardware facilities and experimental equipment, there are more than four in the school¡¯s account. Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in funds, so there will never be shortcomings in hardware!" "In terms of software, Jiuding University has recruited high-level teachers and professors from all over the world. Now it has recruited 621 teachers and professors. Moreover, President Wang is still actively recruiting teachers. I believe it will be possible before June. More than 1,200 teachers and professors have been recruited for the school, enough to maintain the teacher-student ratio under one to seven!" MacLehose nodded suddenly, and his worries disappeared. The teacher-student ratio of one to seven is particularly good. As far as he knows, the teacher-student ratio of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University is between one to eight and one to nine! Hardware can be made with money. Jiuding University¡¯s financial resources are many times stronger than Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University. The hardware is definitely no problem. The software and hardware are better, and it makes no sense that students at Jiuding University cannot receive a good education. In that case, what is Xia Yu worried about? Although there was a faint guess in his heart, MacLehose still asked: "Mr. Xia, what are your concerns?" Xia Yu said immediately: "The school area is too small!" "Now Jiuding University covers an area of ??60 hectares, and the teaching buildings and dormitories built are enough to accommodate 20,000 teachers and students But this year, Jiuding University will enroll 8,000 students, plus more than 1,200 teachers. , There are some administrative and basic school personnel, then after the start of this year, Jiuding University will have about 10,000 people." "If we don''t expand now and wait until next year to enroll students, Jiuding University will be full, and it will not be able to enroll students until the next year." "So the area of ??Jiuding University needs to be doubled at least, otherwise there will be problems after two years!" "I hope that Mr. Governor can allocate part of the land around Jiuding University to Jiuding University for school construction!" MacLehose frowned slightly, always feeling something was wrong, and he thought to himself. Without urging, Xia Yu picked up the tea cup and drank slowly. After a while, McLehose looked at Xia Yu abruptly and asked: "Mr. Xia, I remember that when the school was awarded to Jiuding University for the establishment of the school, the area was communicated with you. Why is this happening now?" Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^ v3 Chapter 937: The hidden worries of Xiangjiang Xia Yu had considered this before, and was mentally prepared for MacLehose to ask such questions. Therefore, he said helplessly: "Mr. Governor, when planning for the establishment of the school, he did not think thoroughly. Later, he discovered that the shortage of various talents in Xiangjiang was too large, so he opened more majors and increased the number of students. Adjusted." MacLehose frowned slightly, but he couldn''t blame it. After all, Xia Yu did this to benefit Xiangjiang, improve the educational environment and level of Xiangjiang, and fit his ruling philosophy. It''s rare that Xia Yu is so caring about education, no matter how much he can''t attack Xia Yu''s enthusiasm. Since Xia Yu had cut first and then played, he could only pinch his nose to recognize it, and he had already decided to agree to Xia Yu''s request. Just in order not to let Xia Yu continue to cut and play like this, MacLehose felt that he still had to be a little bit squeaky and show his attitude so as not to be messed up next time by what Xia Yu suddenly threw out. After this thought flashed in his mind, MacLehose frowned slightly and asked: "Mr. Xia, can I know what the new colleges and majors of Jiuding University are?" "Are they all on this?" With that said, MacLehose weighed in his hands and wrote a document about the situation of Jiuding University. "Yes!" Xia Yu talked, looked around, found the information on the second page of the university, pointed to the line and said: "The School of Electronic Science and Engineering, the School of Chemical Engineering, the School of Biomedical Engineering, the School of Vehicle Engineering, these four colleges and their subordinates Basically all of the majors are newly added." MacLehose stared at these colleges and majors for a while, frowned, but was really puzzled. He looked at Xia Yu and asked: "Mr. Xia, the school of Electronic Science and Engineering can still be in contact with Xiangjiang, and the majors of the School of Biomedical Engineering can also match the market, but the School of Chemical Engineering and the School of Vehicle Engineering are the majors offered by these two schools. After graduating, it¡¯s hard for the trained students to find a job in Xiangjiang, right?" Take a look at the School of Chemical Engineering. Four majors have been opened: Normal Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Technology, and Applied Chemistry. Except for teachers who can go to chemistry teachers after graduating from normal chemistry, the other three majors are too difficult to find jobs in Xiangjiang. As far as MacLehose knows, there are not many chemical-related companies in Hong Kong, and only some of them are basically just selling cosmetics or doing commerce and do not need too many professional talents. As for the School of Vehicle Engineering, it is even more so. The majors offered include thermal energy and dynamics, vehicle engineering, mechatronics engineering, industrial design and other majors, each of which is related to automobile manufacturing. The question is, does HeungKong have a well-known automobile manufacturer? Oh, no, it seems that there is one, the original Jardine Motor Company, which was also acquired by Xia Yu, and the only car manufacturing plant under it is in Indonesia instead of Xiangjiang. So after four years of graduation from these majors, employment will be a problem! If it is not properly resolved, even if students can be recruited, four years later, students who cannot find a job after graduation will definitely have a negative impact on society! Maybe at that time he no longer held the post of Governor of Xiangjiang, but he couldn''t get rid of his responsibility. He didn''t want to leave the post and be scolded. Facing MacLehose¡¯s questioning, Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Governor, I forgot to tell you this. After these students graduate, I will give them a choice, whether to join my company or choose their own jobs. , So there will be no problem in employment, as long as they can graduate successfully!" MacLehose was silent for a moment, gradually clearing up some confused thoughts. He stared slightly, and hurriedly asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, do you mean you want to start an automobile manufacturing company and a chemical company in Xiangjiang?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I have this plan, and I''m already considering action, but Xiangjiang''s talent system is too poor, and I have to find a way by myself." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, the last question in MacLehose''s heart dissipated, and his original thoughts were gone. "Mr. Xia, Xiangjiang does have a problem with its engineering talent system. Since Jiuding University is willing to take on the responsibility of cultivating talents, I fully agree that the expansion of Jiuding University is fine. I will hold a meeting to arrange this later." "If this is okay, I want to hear your thoughts on the automotive industry and the chemical industry. What new companies do you want to start?" Xia Yu immediately smiled and said, "Of course it''s okay, Mr. Governor, the latter happens to be the second purpose of my visit today." MacLehose raised his brows, his heart became more curious, and his spirit became more concentrated. He looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes and said, "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu took a sip of the tea cup to moisturize his throat, sorted out his thoughts a little, and started talking in no hurry. "Mr. Governor, after returning to Xiangjiang, I carefully considered the current situation and future development direction of Xiangjiang." "At present, the main economic entities of Xiangjiang are light industry, commerce, finance, real estate, and tourism. From 1970 to the present, the proportion of the secondary industry represented by light industry in the total output value of Xiangjiang has been declining. This year still accounted for 36.5%, but by last year, the proportion had dropped to 32.1%, and there is a further downward trend!" "It seems that the tertiary industry accounts for an increasing proportion and is becoming more and more prosperous, but in fact there are great concerns." Hearing this, MacLehose frowned. He didn''t believe Xia Yu would talk nonsense, but the analysis of the industry is not just talking, but there must be strong evidence. Xia Yu had considered this a long time ago and looked at Huo Jianning. The latter immediately took out the economic research report made by Jiuding Think Tank and handed it to MacLehose, and finally said: "Mr. Governor, let me tell you about it next." "Mr. Governor, you can open the report and read it while listening. If you have any questions, you can interrupt me at any time." "The survey report analyzes the changes in the decade from 1970 to 1980. You can look directly at the most detailed 1980. Last year, Hong Kong''s export trade was still based on the export of Hong Kong''s local industrial products, and the total export ratio of Hong Kong products reached 78.4%. ." "And most importantly, according to our time-consuming and long-term survey, Hong Kong''s local textiles, garments, watches, plastics, toys and other industries account for 83.8% of total domestic exports." "The number of workers in these industries accounted for 72.5% of the total number of workers in Hong Kong!" "The financial industry is very closely related to these light manufacturing industries. Once these industries weaken, the financial industry will also have major problems." "These useless labor thresholds and labor-intensive industries that rely heavily on labor have been gradually shifting to the mainland. The cost of workers in the mainland is only one-fifth of those of Hong Kong people. No businessman is not tempted!" "If entrepreneurs go bankrupt and workers are unemployed, it will be a problem for the citizens to eat, and there is no money to buy houses, the real estate industry will also fall into a trough. ... "Furthermore, in the financial industry, the financial market in Hong Kong is actually very unstable. This has a lot to do with the immaturity of the system. There have been two major stock market crashes in the past ten years, which have caused tremendous damage to Xiangjiang''s economy and many companies have gone bankrupt. ." "One of the key factors is the coexistence of the four major exchanges. Although the Hong Kong government passed a bill to merge the four exchanges last year, as far as I know, progress has been slow." "According to our analysis, according to the current progress, the merger can be completed before 1987 even if it goes smoothly." "There are still more than six years. It is too slow for Xiangjiang. The time for development is fleeting. Star City is eyeing Xiangjiang, not to mention Taiwan Province. Xiangjiang can''t afford to wait!" ... After listening to Huo Jianning''s narration, combined with the various diagrams and graphs in his hands, MacLehose''s face gradually became ugly. In fact, the Hong Kong Government''s Industrial and Commercial Administration will give him a report on the economic development of Hong Kong every year, but the situation is not as serious as Huo Jianning said. However, if you ask yourself, MacLehose feels that the research report in his hand is more detailed than that of the Trade and Industry Department. It uses various charts for comparison and is more intuitive. And every important data has its source, either by quoting reports from the banking industry or obtained through detailed investigations. So in MacLehose''s mind, he already believed in the authenticity of the economic research report in his hand. It is just because he believes that his face is even more ugly. Under his governance, Xiangjiang still has so many problems. Isn''t it a true manifestation of his ineffective governance? After a long time, Huo Jianning finished speaking and ended with a concluding sentence. "Mr. Governor, the manufacturing industry is the foundation of Xiangjiang''s economy. To solve the hidden worries of Xiangjiang, the best way is to upgrade and transform Xiangjiang''s manufacturing industry to expand into industries with high threshold and high output value such as electronics, automobiles, chemicals, medicine and equipment. Upgrade to promote the diversified development of products and markets." MacLehose nodded stupidly. He picked up the teacup but found that the cup was empty. Jianning Huo immediately poured the tea for him. MacLehose took a sip. The bitter taste was released on the taste buds, and MacLehose''s mind became sober. He thought for a long time, looked at Xia Yu, and asked, "Mr. Xia, since you have done this survey, you should also make the next plan?" Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Governor really saw it!" Xia Yu''s voice just fell Huo Jianning took out two more documents from the briefcase and presented them to MacLehose after they were separated. Xia Yu¡¯s voice appeared at the right time: ¡°Mr. Governor, this is the industrial transformation plan of Xiangjiang made by Jiuding Think Tank in conjunction with the global environment on your left, and this is my envisioned plan for the industry to be developed in Xiangjiang on your right. The documents are relatively related, so you might as well take some time to read them." "It''s only 3:25, and there should be enough time." MacLehose nodded slightly, rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and opened the report on the left. From the economic research report just now, it can be seen that Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Think Tank is powerful, and he now wants to know what Jiuding Think Tank thinks about the future of Xiangjiang! PS: This broken job requires less money and more responsibility. With WeChat, work has severely eroded the time of life, resulting in no time for codewords in the previous two days. I apologize for the break in the previous two days! txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 938: 1 core, 6 pillars As time passed by, Xia Yu waited patiently, watching MacLehose flipping through the pages and stopping to think. At about four o''clock in the afternoon, MacLehose finally read the two documents. After putting the documents down, he still looked thinking. I saw McLehose shook his head slightly to make himself awake, then looked at Xia Yu, and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, the content of these two documents shocked me." Xia Yu smiled humbly and said no more after revealing his attitude. MacLehose didn''t care either. He continued to say with emotion: "Mr. Xia, I already understand your purpose, and I sincerely hope that your career will become bigger and bigger. It is a good thing for you and Xiangjiang. " "The discussion on the future of Xiangjiang mentioned in the research report on the development of Xiangjiang as''one core, six pillars'' is highly executable in my opinion. If it can be successfully built, then Xiangjiang will definitely attract the attention of the world. ." The "one core, six pillars" in the economic research report is very concise and clear, and the description is also very tempting, making MacLehose impressed. One core is the financial service industry as the core. The six pillars are trade and logistics industry, electronics and high-tech industry, heavy machinery manufacturing industry, petrochemical industry, health industry and tourism and entertainment industry. The real estate industry is not in the "one core, six pillars", but the document also makes a detailed discussion to clarify the harm of the real estate industry to these industries. For this, MacLehose can easily understand it, but think of the current situation of Xiangjiang. , He can''t express his opinion easily. "It''s just that if Xiangjiang really wants to develop in these areas, then the existing industrial parks are probably not enough." Hearing what MacLehose said, Xia Yu immediately laughed and said: "Mr. Governor, I hope you can think about rebuilding a super-large industrial park in the New Territories. The industrial parks are almost full now, and the supporting facilities are almost It has been difficult to transform supporting industries such as textile processing and plastics." The total land area of ??Xiangjiang is less than 1,100 square kilometers before the large-scale reclamation of land by later generations. The area of ??Hong Kong Island is 81 square kilometers, and the Kowloon Peninsula is about 47 square kilometers. The New Territories and all outlying islands add up to a total of about 976 square kilometers! As far as Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula are concerned, the New Territories is definitely vast and sparsely populated. Even in the past ten years, the New Territories has added more than one million people! A large proportion of these people are young and middle-aged people, and they are good candidates for recruitment. Therefore, building a large-scale industrial park in the New Territories is definitely the most ideal plan! Hearing Xia Yu''s suggestion, MacLehose nodded in agreement and said, "Mr Xia, New Territories is indeed a very good choice." "I will convene a meeting to discuss, and I will contact you again when there are specific results." Xia Yu nodded and said, "No problem." After speaking, he pondered for a moment and said: "But Mr. Governor, I hope that there will be a result as soon as possible. You just read my investment report. At present, many of my plans are about to be completed. If it is delayed for too long, it will cause A lot of trouble and loss." MacLehose''s expression became solemn, and he nodded and said, "Mr. Xia, I understand your concerns. Please rest assured that the ultimate goal of the Hong Kong government is the same as you. They are all for the better construction and development of Hong Kong. I will discuss it as soon as possible. I will tell you a result." "Then you will work hard, Mr. Governor..." ... After Xia Yu and others left, McLehose carefully locked some of the documents left by Xia Yu in the safe, and at the same time called the secretary to arrange a meeting in recent days. Xia Yu, who left the Hong Kong government, did not worry much. In his opinion, it was a matter of time at most. Because Xia Yu is very clear about MacLehose''s personality, and also very clear about the British government''s attitude towards Hong Kong. For the time being, the British government''s attitude towards Hong Kong is to keep it as it is. It''s just that MacLehose puts it loosely, is more humane, and knows it will benefit Hong Kong people. But this is not important, what is important is that he personally approached MacLehose, and he also wanted to take the lead in leading Xia Yu''s industrial transformation. As someone else, MacLehose would definitely not take it so seriously, but in the face of Xia Yu, who has already entered the upper echelons of Britain, MacLehose had to pay attention. Over the past year, he has received many calls from senior Conservative Party leaders and London Mayor Gerald Pat. As a person from Xiangjiang, Xia Yu has the right to develop Xiangjiang. If he does not support this kind of thing, is it because he wants to force Xia Yu to invest and set up factories in the opposite Pengcheng? If this is the case, without mentioning whether Xia Yu will use the British upper echelons to put pressure on him, it is predictable to blame and criticize him alone. After returning, Xia Yu immediately ordered the Jiuding Think Tank to produce a secret development report based on the theory of "one core and six pillars" combined with the actual situation of the Jiuding Consortium. The nature that can be shown to MacLehose and the secret execution is naturally different! When Lin Shanyuan and others were busy again, Xia Yu began to implement some of the plans that were discussed and decided before. That night, a black car came to Xia Yu''s home in a low-key manner. The person who got off the car was the current unofficial member of the Legislative Council, Liang Dingbang. "Mr. Liang, please inside, the boss is in the living room." Li Wuming accepted Liang Dingbang''s gift, and then led him to the living room, Xia Yu was sitting on the sofa alone and watching the news. Seeing Liang Dingbang''s arrival, Xia Yu turned down the volume, got up and smiled at Liang Dingbang and said, "Mr. Liang, you are here." "Mr. Xia, good evening, I have kept you waiting!" Liang Dingbang put his posture relatively low and greeted Xia Yu in a modest manner. "You also brought a gift, what are you doing so politely, you are not an outsider, please sit down!" Glancing at the little gift in Li Wuming''s hand, Xia Yu said with a smile. "Drink tea!" "Mr. Liang, are you doing well in the Legislative Council?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Liang Dingbang suddenly smiled when he heard the words, obviously he was doing well. He had a sincere attitude and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thanks to your support, without you, there would be no me." "Now I am very confused in the Legislative Council. Knowing that you are standing behind me, whether you are an official or unofficial member of the UK, you are not willing to offend me." Xia Yu smiled and nodded. He expected this situation. On the one hand, he had the effect of power, but on the other hand, money was still working. The Hong Kong Legislative Council has two types of members, namely official members and non-official members. Official members are more core, similar to the company¡¯s "executive directors." All of them are British, while non-official members are different. Similar to the company''s "non-executive directors", there are some gaps in power. As for the chairman of the Legislative Council, he is also the Governor of Hong Kong. Before Xia Yu''s Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., set up a special fund for politicians. After Liang Dingbang entered the Legislative Council, Xia Yu ordered Wang to open the back door strangely. The salary paid by the Hong Kong government in a year is far less than the annual dividends they invested in Jiuding Securities. Youdao is to take short hands and short mouths! What''s more, having enjoyed this kind of legal investment channel with money lying down, there is no need to worry about the ICAC to investigate. This is extremely rare, and they can''t bear to give up. Therefore, after knowing Liang Dingbang¡¯s background, no one in the Legislative Council would deny him a bit of face. Even the four official members of the Chief Secretary, the Attorney General, the Financial Secretary, and the Civil Affairs Secretary are the same. Liang Dingbang¡¯s words are very heavy . Xia Yu threw a peanut into his mouth and continued to ask, "Tell me about your achievements after entering the Legislative Council and the current status of the Legislative Council." "Ok!" After the application, Liang Dingbang pondered for a moment to finish the draft, and slowly said: "Last year the Legislative Council has expanded a lot. A total of four non-official members and three official members were added." "Now the Legislative Council has 21 official members and 20 non-official members." "Of the 20 unofficial members of Parliament, only two are British, and the remaining 18 are Chinese." "According to your instructions, I have already won a group of **** members in the Legislative Council. Among the eighteen Chinese unofficial members, there are six people secretly belonging to my faction, excluding me, four of them. They were drawn in, with the most innocent background and marginalized position; the other two were supported by me with great effort." Hearing this, Xia Yu immediately said: "In other words, the two you supported were two of the four new non-official members of the Legislative Council last year?" Liang Dingbang nodded and said, "Yes!" Xia Yu immediately praised: "Not bad!" Four new non-official members were added, and Liang Dingbang was able to dominate half of them. This is enough to show that he took Xia Yu''s words in his heart, and he began to look for and cultivate his direct lineages early, so that he could be promoted when the candidates were added. With this kind of method, it is very suitable for mixing in officialdom. What he needs is Liang Dingbang''s work in order to gradually expand his influence in the Legislative Council. Although because of Jiuding Securities Company, other non-official members and official members will sell his face, but these people are definitely mixed with other social relations and interests, and they cannot be 100% guaranteed to stand with him. But the one I cultivated is completely different. It is a complete direct lineage and can be reliable at critical moments! Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and instructed Liang Dingbang: "Next, you will continue to train young people with innocent backgrounds and potential. Last year, new members were added, and there will definitely be new ones in the future. Prepare yourself in advance." "Ok!" Liang Dingbang nodded in response. Xia Yu thought for a while and asked, "You have been in politics for two years. You should have a better understanding of other departments besides the Legislative Council?" "With a certain understanding, I will focus on this if you need it," Liang Dingbang said. "Well, in other departments of the Hong Kong government, you will continue to look for Chinese people who have already joined but are innocent and have potential. If you are too busy, make a list for me, and I will arrange corresponding funding." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Liang Dingbang''s brows were pounding, and his heart was shaken. He glanced at Xia Yu, then lowered his head to suppress the horror in his heart and buried his own guesses in his heart. He immediately said, "Okay, I I will do my best to do this." Xia Yu closed Liang Dingbang''s reaction in his eyes. He showed a satisfied look, nodded slightly and said, "The next thing is about you." "Before speaking, you have to look at this document." After receiving the documents, Liang Dingbang immediately looked at it attentively, and the shock in his eyes became more intense. What Xia Yu showed him was the economic research document on the future of Hong Kong that he showed MacLehose this afternoon. Time passed by, and Liang Dingbang finally read the file. He took a deep breath and handed the file to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, I''ve finished reading it." "You take this document, but you have to note that this document is top secret, only a limited number of people know it, and it is forbidden to spread it!" Xia Yu waved his hand and said to Liang Dingbang. "Okay, except when I watch at home, I will be locked in the safe all the time!" Liang Dingbang said solemnly. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said again: "I talked to MacLehose this afternoon for an afternoon. The content is on this document. If nothing happens, the Hong Kong government will pass plans and proposals similar to the content of this document. ." "You should study the contents of this document carefully At that time, MacLehose will definitely involve the Legislative Council. That''s when you will behave." "In addition, as long as the Hong Kong government takes action, it will affect the entire Hong Kong. You need to make arrangements in advance to contact Hong Kong education, employment, people''s livelihood and other related groups, and strive to draw these groups to your side..." ... This evening, Xia Yu and Liang Dingbang talked at around ten o''clock, and the content of the conversation took up about half of his secret layout in the political realm of Xiangjiang, which burdened him a lot. When Liang Dingbang felt the pressure, his heart was boiling, and he kept showing his determination to Xia Yu. As for whether the guarantee can be perfectly implemented in the action, let''s see! Anyway, Xia Yu didn''t put the eggs on his basket. Later, Xia Yu arranged for bodyguards to protect Liang Dingbang back, while he went upstairs to prepare to wash. txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 939: Grab the prey of News Corp While Xia Yu was reviewing the start-up plans of various companies, something happened in London, thousands of miles away. London, the headquarters of the Bright Fund Company. After Mirror Group President Lewis Barry got out of the car, he quickly stepped into the elevator and rushed to George Berkeley''s office. "Tuk tuk!" "President Berkeley, good afternoon!" "Lewis, why are you here, come in!" George Berkeley, who was issuing the document, heard the knock on the door, and after recognizing the person, he said with some surprise. Lewis Barry walked in, sat down in front of George Berkeley, and said solemnly: "President Berkeley, this time I am disturbing you suddenly, because I have received a secret message, and it has reached a very urgent point." The attitude of Lewis Barry was infected by George Berkeley, who narrowed his smile, put down the pen in his hand, looked straight at Lewis Barry, and asked, "What is so urgent?" Lewis Barry replied: "The Thomson Group''s "The Times" has suffered a serious loss. Now News Corporation is in secret negotiations with the Thomson Group to prepare for the acquisition of the "Times" owning company Times News Holdings Limited!" "The Times" is a national daily newspaper in the UK, and its readers are generally high-end people in society, such as politicians and social elites, so the influence of this newspaper is extremely amazing. It has always been regarded as the largest mainstream newspaper in the UK, known as the "faithful recorder of British society", and has an influence in the world! Suddenly hearing that the Thomson Group was going to sell to the outside world, George Berkeley was also shocked. He frowned, pondered for a moment and asked: "Is it the news company that owns The Sun?" Lewis Barry nodded outrageously and said: "Yes, and Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation, negotiated in person." "Negotiations have been going on for a while, and News Corp. tried to keep it secret. According to the news I know, News Corp. discovered that after the death of the old Thomson, due to economic pressure, Jr. Thomson had lost patience with Times News Holdings Ltd. So take the initiative to seek acquisitions, this is the main reason why the news can be hidden." "Rupert Murdoch is an elite proficient in media, and he has the ultimate pursuit of profit, even without compromise. The Sun was originally poorly managed, but after his acquisition, it has now expanded several times in scale. The power is amazing." "Although the "Times" is currently suffering a serious loss, I am worried that the "Times" will regain its vitality after it reaches his hands, and it will pose a huge threat to the Mirror Group at that time!" George Berkeley nodded in approval, thought for a moment and asked again: "Then what do you think about this time?" Lewis Barry said immediately: "Of course I hope that the Mirror Group will be able to acquire Times News Holdings Ltd." As soon as he finished speaking, George Berkeley shook his head and patted his thoughts out: "This is impossible. The report you showed me last time shows that now the national daily newspapers under the Mirror Group account for 30% of the total. The market, 8% of the market for local newspapers." "If it''s a local newspaper, it''s better to say." "But in the national daily newspaper market, the Mirror Group is about to touch 40% of the invisible policy line. If it acquires The Times, it will be easy to exceed the line, and other newspaper companies will definitely not make you feel better. " Lewis Barry shrugged and said regretfully, "I know, so I just thought about it." "I think the president, you can find a way to acquire Times News Holdings Ltd. If it doesn''t work, at least you will destroy News Corp''s acquisition." George Berkeley nodded slightly, then frowned and thought. Bright Fund is absolutely not allowed to come forward to buy, because Bright Fund is the wholly-owned holding parent company of Mirror Group and Financial Times Group, and it has a higher degree of control over the media. And let the Financial Times Group come forward, because it will be counted in the Bright Fund in the end. After thinking for a moment, he thought of the boss Xia Yu and a newspaper company, and his brows stretched. Lewis Barry has been observing George Berkeley¡¯s expression, and when he saw his brows stretched out, he immediately asked, ¡°President Berkeley, do you have any ideas?¡± George Berkeley nodded slightly, but only revealed some thoughts to him, saying: "I will let the friendly company come forward to buy, Lewis, you have to work hard to collect relevant intelligence and information." Lewis Barry nodded without hesitation and said: "No problem, I have arranged for someone to dig into the inside story. I think the Thomson Group is definitely happy to see new competitors appear." ... The next morning, after reading the first batch of information, George Berkeley calculated the time difference and dialed the international long distance to Xiangjiang. It happened that Xia Yu was in the chairman''s office and immediately connected after hearing the phone rang. "Hello, who?" "Boss, this is George..." After hearing the voice in the microphone, Xia Yu paid more attention and said with a smile: "George, long time no see, is there anything important?" "..." As George Berkeley on the microphone continued to speak, Xia Yu''s eyes became deeper. "Okay, I understand, you can fax the documents, you continue to follow up the situation, I will let the manager of Jiuding Newspaper Company Yan Wenhan contact you later." Not long after the lecture, Xia Yu began to receive fax signals, and then the documents were continuously printed out from the fax machine. Because the font is small, the file is not long, only four pages, and the type is quickly completed. Before watching, Xia Yu called Jiuding Newspaper Company and asked Yan Wenhan to go to his office immediately. Because he was at the Jiuding Building and Yan Wenhan happened to not be out, Yan Wenhan came to Xia Yu''s office within two minutes after receiving the call. "Wenhan, come in, find a place to sit, I will finish reading the documents." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at the file again. After a few minutes, Xia Yu finally read all the materials and had a concrete understanding of the matter. He took the file, got up from the desk, walked over to the sofa and sat down, handed the file to Yan Wenhan and said, "Wenhan, you look at the file first. This is a good thing." Hearing that it was a good thing, Yan Wenhan raised a sense of expectation in his heart and quickly browsed the files. After reading it, he smiled and asked Xia Yu: "Chairman, do you want Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. to buy Times Newspaper Holdings Limited?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, Jiuding Newspaper has a huge influence in Asia and the United States, but there is still a big shortcoming in the British media market. Now this happens to be a rare opportunity." "You have also read the information. In addition to the national comprehensive daily newspaper The Times, the Times News Holdings also has the influential Sunday Times, as well as the Times Literary Supplement and Times Education. Supplements, The Times Scotland Education Supplement, The Times Higher Education Supplement, and the Times Book Company. As long as this company is taken, Jiuding Newspaper Company can instantly occupy a first-class position in the UK." "The only thing worth worrying about is that the Times Press Holdings has a big problem now, with serious losses. Do you have the confidence to restore its health? Yan Wenhan said without hesitation: "There is still confidence. With such an opportunity, I won''t be reconciled without trying." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, you can try it and fly to London as soon as possible. Funding shouldn''t be a problem, right?" Yan Wenhan smiled, shook his head and said: "It''s not a problem. Now the company''s working capital is more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars. I think it''s enough to acquire the Times Press Holdings." Just after speaking, Yan Wenhan showed a touch of worry and said: "Chairman, I am worried that our acquisition will invite other obstacles." Xia Yu knew what Yan Wenhan was worried about. He smiled and comforted: "Don¡¯t worry, the political stance of The Times is neutral to the right. It leans slightly towards the Conservative Party. I will solve the possible obstacles in the government. The task is to **** prey from News Corp." "You should be no stranger to Rupert Murdoch after staying in the United States for so long. The Times Press Holdings will be in his hands and we will be in great trouble." Yan Wenhan nodded and said with a solemn face: "Yes, Chairman, I have never underestimated him. I competed with him when I was in the United States, knowing that he is a media wizard with the ability to turn corruption into magic. Many newspapers that were about to go bankrupt soon came to life after being acquired by him and grew rapidly. He is a very strong opponent." Yan Wenhan has an intuition that Rupert Murdoch and his News Corporation will be his biggest opponents in the future. Although the chairman already has the Mirror Group and the Financial Times Group in the UK, he is behind the scenes of the British media industry, but this has nothing to do with him. The Jiuding newspaper company he manages has no foundation in the UK. News Corporation has long been established in the UK. News Corporation¡¯s flagship newspaper, The Sun, has developed into a major mainstream newspaper. Not only that, News Corporation also owns a number of newspapers in the UK to fill its territory. Jiuding News Corporation is far behind News Corp. He must catch up to have a chance to catch up! Now taking food from News Corp. can double the effect, he will never let go of this excellent opportunity! At this time, he had already made up his mind ~ www.novelhall.com~ this time to smash to the end, no matter how high the price is, the Times News Holdings must be bought, even if it rots in his own hands, it is better than being bought by News Corp. Seeing that Yan Wenhan was mentally prepared, Xia Yu was relieved: "You can know it in your heart, so hurry up and take action. After you go to the UK, you should meet with George Berkeley, the president of the Bright Fund. You can find him for anything you want." "Ok!" "Chairman, if nothing else, I''ll leave first." "Go!" Seeing Yan Wenhan disappearing from sight, Xia Yu''s gaze was a little lost, thinking of Rupert Murdoch and his News Corporation. For a long time, Xia Yu shook his head and smiled, taking back his thoughts and continuing to deal with official duties. PS: Working overtime and late, the update is late, sorry, I am re-making the outline now, changed to a more intuitive table format, before using the text version is too messy, now there are some results, as long as the outline and If the outline is done well, the codeword efficiency can be doubled. txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 940: Officially visit the King of Gamblers I have to say that MacLehose¡¯s proposal at the beginning of the year gave MacLehose a great shock. In addition to the daily work of the Hong Kong government, MacLehose held high-level meetings to discuss Xia Yu¡¯s relevant proposals. The first result was the expansion of Jiuding University, which was almost a formality. Although some people disagreed, most people still saw the thoughts of Governor MacLehose and agreed to the expansion of Jiuding University. Youdao is to send the Buddha to the West. Since I gave a lot of land to Jiuding University to build a school, now it¡¯s no big deal to give it again. Anyway, it can¡¯t be used for commercial purposes. In the end, the Hong Kong government decided to grant another 80 hectares of land to Jiuding University. The land location was connected to Jiuding University. For specific matters, Xia Yu asked Wang Gengwu to connect with the Hong Kong government. The reason why the additional 20 hectares was set aside was mainly because Wang Gengwu pointed out that one side of the land is a vast coastline, which is not highly exploitable. Therefore, it is strongly required that all of the land be drawn together, so that new projects related to the ocean and the environment can be opened in the future. Professional, McLehose finally agreed. In addition to the original 60-hectare campus, Jiuding University will have 140 hectares of land, or 2100 acres, which is barely comparable to the area of ??the university he attended in his previous life. However, this area has far surpassed Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University. For Xiangjiang, it is considered very good. Xia Yu also heard from Wang Gengwu that he received envy and jealousy from many senior executives of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University. After the expansion of Jiuding University was certain, Wang Gengwu launched a publicity plan for more than six months. The content of the plan is to continuously promote Jiuding University through newspapers, magazines, TV stations and other media channels. The content of the promotion is very wide, from hardware facilities, professional settings, teaching staff, teaching environment, etc. to employment prospects. All-round publicity is to first establish a good image in the eyes of parents and students, and pave the way for the future work of competing with Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University for high-quality students. In addition to the expansion of Jiuding University, Xia Yu is more concerned about the development plan of Xiangjiang. It''s just that he is also mentally prepared. The impact of this kind of thing is too far-reaching. It involves the future of Hong Kong and the fate of millions of people. The Hong Kong government will not go through the scene like the expansion of Jiuding University. As far as he knows, the Hong Kong government has held very intensive meetings recently, and the negotiation scene was once very intense. After knowing the situation, Xia Yu was not indifferent, but immediately ordered his subordinates to collect the list and information of those who disagreed, and prepare to conduct public relations one by one. He does not believe that everyone can block the Jin Yuan offensive! For the future of Xiangjiang and for the future of the Jiuding Consortium, his proposal must be approved, and the price is not hesitated! After the Lantern Festival, February 21, Xia Mansion. "A Yu, do you come back for dinner tonight?" Before the fitting mirror in the room on the second floor, Li Qian carefully arranged Xia Yu''s clothes and asked softly. Xia Yu said gently: "It depends on the situation. If I will come back, I will call in advance. If I don''t call, my parents won''t have to prepare my meal." Li Qian tapped her first: "Yeah!" "Okay, let''s go down!" After all, Xia Yu and Li Qian went down together and went out to the front of the house. At this time, three cars had been parked. The trunk of the car had been opened, and you could see that there were a lot of gifts. Before getting into the car, Xia Yuxiang took a bite of Li Qian''s face, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Cici, I''m leaving." Li Qian''s face blushed in love, and she tapped her head reluctantly, and said, "Well, you must pay attention to safety." "Don''t worry, I will pay attention!" "Go into the house!" After speaking, Xia Yu got into the car and closed the door. The driver immediately started the engine. After Xia Yu signaled, the car drove outside. Seeing the three cars go away one after another, Li Qian pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable. But when the experience of living in harmony with He Chaoqiong emerged in her mind, Li Qian comforted herself and remembered what happened last night. A blush quickly appeared on her fair and smooth face, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart was immediately relieved. "That''s okay, someone will help me share the burden, otherwise somewhere..." After thinking of this in her mind, Li Qian felt a little unwell, and her face became hotter. She shook her head to stop thinking about it, and then turned around and went upstairs. According to her daily study plan, she will have to do half an hour of yoga exercise, one hour of charity industry study, and one hour of management content study. This morning, because of Xia Yu, the plan has been disrupted. She You have to quickly start your daily study plan to make yourself as good as possible. ... Xia Yu''s three vehicles drove to the outlying islands, and then boarded a special freighter arranged by Jiuding Transportation Group that had been parked and waiting. The three vehicles drove directly onto the ship''s deck, and then the ship sailed off the shore to Omen. After more than 30 minutes, the ship docked and berthed. The three vehicles drove off the ship one after another, and then drove straight to the home of the gambling king He Hongshen. He Hongshen originally wanted to come to the dock to greet Xia Yu, but Xia Yu refused in advance. He didn''t value this superficial form, and he came with a different meaning today. If He Hongshen came to the dock to meet him, what would it be! Although he did not line up to welcome Xia Yu at the pier, when Xia Yu and his entourage came to the mansion on the mountainside of the He family, they still saw He Hongshen and his son He Youguang waiting at the door. He hurriedly stopped the car and speeded up the pace after getting off. , Walking towards the He family father and son with a smile. Just when Xia Yu and the He family father and son were greeting each other at the gate, the second floor of He Mansion. The second wife of the king of gambling, Lan Qiongying, opened the door of her daughter''s concealed room, and the room was very warmly furnished. The pink gauze tent bed is in the middle. On the bed is a large white bear puppet of exquisite workmanship, which Xia Yu gave to He Chaoqiong. There are two exquisite crystal lamps at the head of the bed. The milky white wardrobe stands on the left side of the bed. There is a pink desk on the right side and a pink dressing table next to it. In order to avoid aesthetic fatigue, there are a few candy-colored pieces. The chair, the whole room is very exquisitely arranged, the color matching is very natural, full of girls'' hearts. At this moment, the graceful He Chaoqiong was sitting in front of the dressing table, dressed up with joy, without even noticing his mother opening the door and coming in. Lan Qiongying walked behind her daughter, looked at her daughter''s expression in the mirror, couldn''t help but chuckle and said, "Chao Qiong, you have been dressed up all morning." He Chaoqiong suddenly woke up and saw the mother in the mirror. He quickly turned his head and looked at the smile on his mother¡¯s face. He Chaoqiong¡¯s pretty face was covered with red clouds for a short time, and he said incoherently, "Mommy, I don¡¯t have one. Just sat down." Lan Qiongying chuckled softly: "Really?" He Chaoqiong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Yes! Just as I sat down, I just combed my hair." Lan Qiongying didn''t tease her daughter anymore, but walked behind her, put her hands on her shoulders gently, and said softly: "My daughter is naturally beautiful, so she is so beautiful without dressing up. I don''t know if I go outside. How many boys do you pour?" "I don''t want to fascinate other people, just one." He Chaoqiong mumbled. Thinking of Xia Yu, the smile on her face became brighter. Seeing her daughter''s true feelings, she was obviously in a quagmire, exactly the same as when she was young, Lan Qiongying''s eyes flashed with nostalgia, and then a feeling of sadness appeared again. She didn''t want her daughter to be the same as herself. She didn''t know how many times she had talked with her before, but now her daughter is still embarking on the same old path as herself, and finally she chose to compromise. After all, this family is in charge of He Hongshen. I can only hope that Xia Yu will treat He Chaoqiong well in the future and will not let He Chaoqiong be wronged... "Mummy, what''s the matter with you?" Realizing that there was something wrong with his mother''s mood, He Chaoqiong asked with some doubts. Lan Qiongying immediately showed a happy smile, caressed her daughter''s Yushou and said: "It''s nothing, just remembered that when I was young, I always like to miss the past when I am older. He Chaoqiong lightly embraced his mother and said comfortingly: "Mommy is not very old at all, and everyone thinks we are sisters on the way!" Lan Qiongying was amused, and said a little angrily: "Nonsense, Mommy''s face has a lot of wrinkles." "Why, in the eyes of my daughter, Mommy is always the most beautiful..." "I think you ate honey today, one mouth is too sweet." "Hehe..." The mother and daughter joked for a while. Suddenly, Lan Qiongying heard the conversation below and immediately said to He Chaoqiong: "Chaoqiong, it looks like a guest is here." He Chaoqiong suddenly stood up in surprise and wanted to run, but immediately stopped, and carefully looked in the mirror, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he took his mother''s hand and said, "Mummy, let''s go down quickly." Lan Qiongying smiled and said: "Slow down, remember the etiquette of the previous etiquette class, today is different from outside, take care of your father''s face." "Ann La An La, I know!" He Chaoqiong also paid a little attention when she said that, but the joy and longing in her heart were about to overflow, she still went downstairs faster than usual. Sure enough, as soon as she came downstairs, she saw a handsome young man who was worried about him sitting on the sofa with her father and talking and laughing. His father was introducing him to the members of the He family. She saw him with a smile on his face. To yourself. He Chaoqiong, who went down the stairs, ignored the presence of other aunts and sisters, carrying the skirt, walking towards Xia Yu like a cheerful peacock, and said happily: "Xia Yu, you are here!" If this is not at home, and her father, mother and other family members are there, she can''t wait to rush into Xia Yu''s arms as usual. It''s just that the love and joy in her eyes and face can''t be hidden. After talking to Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong shouted "Dad" to He Hongshen, making He Hongshen shook his head with a wry smile. "Ok!" "I''m coming!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded back, and then praised: "Chao Qiong, you are so beautiful today." "really?" He Chaoqiong was overjoyed. Seeing that there was no tea in front of Xia Yu my brother He Youguang was making tea, He Chaoqiong immediately said, "Dad, Xia Yu, I will make tea for you." After speaking, she immediately walked to her brother''s side to help: "Brother, let me come." After speaking, he could not help but picked up the cup. He Youguang was a little bit dumbfounded. He glanced at his father. After getting his father''s eyes, he had no choice but to put down the tea set, and his younger sister came to make it. "Mr. Xia, I rarely drink Chaoqiong tea at home, and I can finally enjoy it again this time." He Hongshen smiled and said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu pretended not to hear the taste of He Hongshen''s tone, and smiled and replied: "This time I have to be blessed by Mr. He and taste Chaoqiong''s tea art." He Hongshen smiled. He didn''t intend to discuss this embarrassing topic in depth, and asked about what happened when Xia Yu came. PS: Ask for a ticket txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 941: Suddenly giving away the shares of Australian Entertainment This time, although it was an official visit, Xia Yu didn''t take the initiative to mention He Chaoqiong, let alone He Hongshen. However, between the two chatting and chatting, there have been many collisions and trials. Generally speaking, Xia Yu''s attitude is more in line with He Hongshen, but that''s all. Xia Yu is very rational and principled, and will not confuse the love of his children with career. What''s more, he also knows what kind of nature He Hongshen is, and it is enough to show proper kindness. If he doesn''t have a bottom line, there will be a lot of trouble in the back. It is better to make a stand at the beginning. In this regard, He Hongshen has no dissatisfaction. Because of Xia Yu''s concern, he had conducted in-depth research on Xia Yu. Compared with Xia Yu''s dominance and dominance in business, his performance at this time was undoubtedly quite mild. Furthermore, in the conversation with Xia Yu, Xia Yu''s analysis of the economic situation in Omen, Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia, as well as the discussion and development direction of the world gambling industry, gave him a lot of inspiration, and he may be able to create for him after today. He has made a lot of huge profits. Although Xia Yu mainly chatted with He Hongshen and hardly got along with He Chaoqiong so alone, He Chaoqiong was not lost. She was wise and knew that if Xia Yu got her old beans, she would have much more happy days with Xia Yu in the future. . The choice between day and night and long-term, as long as you are not stupid, you know how to choose. Xia Yu originally wanted to go back in the afternoon, but he couldn''t resist He Hongshen''s repeated stay, especially when he mentioned that he was invited to play at the Lisboa Hotel in the evening, and there were special guests. Xia Yu could only agree. After a short rest after dinner, Xia Yu bid farewell to He Chaoqiong and drove to the Lisboa Hotel together with He Hongshen. Although it is already night, after entering the urban area of ??Omen, the prosperity that can be seen is not much better than that of Lan Kwai Fong built and developed by Xiangjiang Jiuding Real Estate Development Company. Roadside hotels, restaurants, shops, souvenir shops, **** shops, etc. are still open, and colorful lights dot the streets and buildings. It''s a scene of a city that never sleeps. Not long after, the convoy came to the entrance of the Lisboa Hotel. A large sign was erected at the entrance. The slogan on it was a bit interesting. It was written in Chinese, English, and Portuguese. The slogan reads "You can''t win in gambling. You can be happy, play in your free time, keep entertaining.". After retracting his gaze, Xia Yu followed He Hongshen into the front door. The Lisboa Hotel, which was completed on June 11, 1970, is the largest hotel in Omen and the first five-star hotel in Omen. Inside the Lisboa Hotel, there is also a large Lisboa shopping mall with dozens of rooms. Shops, including various restaurants, bakeries, banks, **** shops, money changers, jewellery shops, betting centers, laundry shops, bathrooms, etc., integrate eating, drinking, and shopping, and provide customers with the most considerate service. As soon as I entered the casino area, the atmosphere suddenly became much warmer. I swept across every table and in front of the entertainment facilities, and everyone was surrounded by people. From time to time, I heard the crisp sound of pouring chips. At this time, a middle-aged woman who was wearing a lady''s suit and looked somewhat similar to He Hongshen came over. "Brother, you are here." "This is Mr. Xia, you are welcome to come and let us shine in Lisboa Hotel!" "Hello, Ms. He, I''m here to dip your wealth." Xia Yu responded with a smile and shook hands with him. "Mr. Xia is a real joke, who doesn''t know that you are a veritable God of Wealth, and that we can only take your wealth." He Hongshen smiled and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I also want to introduce you to it, it seems unnecessary." Xia Yu smiled and said: "How could I not know the famous and unbelievable''Ten Girls'' from the He family?" "But it''s better to meet for a long time. When I see you today, I dare to say that Miss He is this in Omen!" With that said, Xia Yu made a one-to-one gesture. Although He Wanqi was very happy, she was still humble again and again. ... While talking and laughing, Xia Yu remembered news about He Wanqi in his previous life. "Ten Girls" He Wanqi is the younger sister of He Hongshen, but she didn''t come out from the Xiangjiang He family alone like He Hongshen. However, He Wanqi is intelligent and business-minded. There are many reasons why I came to Australia Entertainment to help He Hongshen, so I won''t repeat them, but it is precisely because of He Wanqi''s help that Australia Entertainment has a management system and high-quality management methods comparable to those of American casinos. Of course, this is not the point, the point is those **** things among the rich. At this time, the head of the Xiangjiang He family was He Hongzhang, who was He Hongshen¡¯s cousin, but He Hongzhang secretly fell in love with He Hongshen¡¯s sister, He Wanqi, and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Only He Hongshen, He Wanqi and He Hongzhang know about this matter now. Because of this, He Hongshen persecutes her sister He Wanqi time and time again and invades her interests in the Australian entertainment company. In later generations, He Hongzhang was also very guilty of the illegitimate son, and even before his death, he wanted to divide a large part of the family property of the Xiangjiang He family to the illegitimate son to make up for the debt, but he attracted the hostility of He Hongzhang¡¯s wives and children, and finally He Hongzhang even If he took the initiative to make trouble in the court, it can be said that the matter was raging, and he was a great benefactor to the media. And the illegitimate son of He Hongzhang and He Wanqi was also wronged by the Omen He family, also because of the interests of many grievances. It can be said that Hejia Hejia added a lot of splendid plots to the series "What Hong Kong and Macau Giants Have to Say". Not to mention He Hongshen¡¯s Omen He family. "Mr. Xia, what''s the matter?" Seeing Xia Yu''s distraction, He Hongshen asked. Xia Yu retracted his thoughts and said with a smile: "It''s nothing, it''s my first time to come to a large entertainment venue like Lisboa, so I thought of something." "By the way, Mr. He, where is the mysterious guest you have kept secret?" Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t go any further, He Hongshen didn''t ask too much. He looked at He Wanqi, then at his watch, and said to Xia Yu: "Maybe because of something, I haven''t come yet, and I haven''t come to him. The better the time, but I guess it will be soon." "Mr. Xia, since you haven''t been here, why don''t you go and play? The chips are ready." "I''ll let you know when someone comes." Seeing the beautiful woman with a set of chips coming out from the side, Xia Yu smiled and shrugged: "Then just have fun." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up another pair of sunglasses on the tray, put it on, and walked to the casino. On this floor of the casino, there are at least sixty tables, Xia Yu casually strolled around, and then found a table of the most common size and placed bets at will. Although Xia Yu''s gambling skills are not bad, he originally came with a playful mentality. Although the beautiful woman with a tray next to him is here, he didn''t mean to pretend to be forced. He tried his somewhat strange gambling skills. After letting himself lose and lose, Xia Yu changed another table. But even if Xia Yu deliberately controlled it, when He Wanqi came to find Xia Yu, there were still a lot more chips on the tray, at least five or six hundred thousand chips worth at a glance. "Mr. Xia, you really are the God of Wealth, you have won so many in such a short while!" Looking at the chips on the waiter''s tray, He Wanqi said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled and said: "Haha, I seem to be lucky tonight, I didn''t expect to win so much." He Wanqi praised: "I think Mr. Xia has always been lucky, and you just have a good time." "Quite happy." "Has anyone arrived?" Xia Yu asked. He Wanqi nodded and said: "People have arrived, and now they are in the sixth-floor box. I am here to take you there." "Then trouble you." Later, under the leadership of He Wanqi, Xia Yu came to the outside of a luxurious box on the sixth floor of the Lisboa Hotel. After the waiter at the door knocked on the door twice, he pushed the door open, Xia Yu cast his gaze inside, and saw that besides He Hongshen, there were two others, one of whom was Huo Yingdong. Seeing that it was Xia Yu coming in, Huo Yingdong was also very surprised. He immediately got up and walked towards Xia Yu: "A Yu, I didn¡¯t expect that the mysterious guest Mr. He was talking about was you. If I knew it was you, I¡¯d take what happened today. Push it all away, I''ve already come here." "It''s not too late, Lao Huo, I didn''t expect you to come." After warmly shaking hands with Huo Yingdong, Xia Yu looked at the person next to He Hongshen. He Hongshen, who was secretly lamenting the close relationship between Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu, immediately introduced: "Mr. Xia, this is my brother-in-law Ye Deli and one of the founders of Australian Entertainment." "Brother-in-law, this is..." Just as He Hongshen wanted to introduce him, Ye Deli interrupted He Hongshen and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Xia Yu and said, "Hey, the famous stock **** of Xiangjiang, is not as famous as meeting, Mr. Xia, fortunately meeting!" "Mr. Ye, nice meeting!" After everyone''s greetings, the four of them sat on the gaming table under He Hongshen''s greeting. Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Mr. He, what is the process tonight?" He Hongshen smiled and said, "Just play around, let''s get to know it." Xia Yu raised his brows and glanced over the three of them, jokingly said: "Then I am not determined to lose tonight. The three of you are all shareholders of the Australian Entertainment Company. I am an outsider. Maybe you will partner." Everyone laughed suddenly. He Hongshen smiled and said: "If you don''t tell me, I didn''t expect it. According to what you said, I really have to count it up while you go to the bathroom." Xia Yu pointed at He Hongshen and said helplessly: "Mr. Ho You don¡¯t make me dare to go to the bathroom tonight. Urine suffocated to death''." "Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again. At this moment, Huo Yingdong smiled and said to Xia Yu suddenly: "This is easy to handle, A Yu, don''t you say that you are an outsider, if you are not an outsider, you can do it?" After that, he said to He Hongshen and Ye Deli: "Listen, everyone, I will transfer my equity ten points to A Yu, you will be a witness!" After speaking, ignoring He Hongshen and Ye Deli, who were shocked, Huo Yingdong immediately said to Xia Yu: "A Yu, the contract and equity certificate will be given to you after returning. From now on, you will be a shareholder of Australia Entertainment!" ps: Don¡¯t talk about the impolite topic of calling Lao Huo Lao Bao. People who have experienced a lot know that there is really a difference between the title of good friends and ordinary friends. Ordinary friends will pay attention to it because they don¡¯t know much about it. Good friends are very casual, don¡¯t you still call your friends Mr. So and so in your life? txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 942: Another secret Xia Yu was also shocked by Huo Yingdong¡¯s sudden hand. After he recovered, he saw Huo Yingdong¡¯s solemn face, not like a joke at all. He refused, "Old Huo, no If this is necessary, I''m just kidding, your gift is too big, I can''t take it!" According to the "Economic Weekly" list of the top 500 companies, although the Australian Entertainment Company is not listed, its valuation is as high as 2.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. The 10% shareholding is worth 240 million Hong Kong dollars. This means that Huo Yingdong just sent two hundred and forty million Hong Kong dollars to Xia Yu in one sentence, and the equity is not the same as money, because the equity of Australia Entertainment has the potential to be a hen who will lay golden eggs. As far as Xia Yu knows, Australia Entertainment has only six shareholders. He Hongshen personally holds 30% of the shares, his Shun Tak Group holds 5%, Huo Yingdong holds 30%, and Ye Deli holds shares. Ten percent. Ye Han, the "sage of gambling" who broke up with He Hongshen, holds 10% of the shares, He Wanqi holds 14%, and the last Cantonese opera celebrity Xin Ma Shi Zeng Deng Yongxiang holds 1%. "I know you are joking, but I just want to give you something. If you join the Australian Entertainment Company, I believe that the Australian Entertainment Company will have a better development. I have less equity, but the future will definitely be more valuable. deficit!" "Besides, everyone knows that I, Huo Yingdong, always speaks what I say. Since I said it, I definitely can''t take it back. You can''t let me go against the creed of life, right?" Huo Yingdong said with a smile, and forced an explanation by the way, which not only blocked Xia Yu''s refusal, but also eased the embarrassment caused to He Hongshen and Ye Deli by his sudden hand. And after talking to Xia Yu, Huo Yingdong said to He Hongshen and Ye Deli: "Mr. Ho, Mr. Ye, is it a wise move for me to invite Mr. Xia to join the company?" After all these questions were asked, He Hongshen, who recovered, could only say yes. He took a deep look at Huo Yingdong, and then said with a smile: "Absolutely wise, the stock **** alone is enough to hold the Australian entertainment company''s fortune." He echoed the flattery, but He Hongshen was still a little confused. He did not expect that the relationship between Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu would be so close, so close that Huo Yingdong gave two shares worth more than 100 million yuan to Xia without blinking his eyes. Yu. From his point of view, thinking in reverse, Xia Yu must have created an interest far more than 240 million Hong Kong dollars for Huo Yingdong, otherwise Huo Yingdong would not make a move of giving away shares. This couldn''t help making him feel jealous. Thinking of his plan again, he felt even more uncomfortable. He meticulously invited the two to come together tonight, and at the same time let his brother-in-law Ye Deli come with him, for several purposes. One is to show Huo Yingdong his relationship with Xia Yu. With Huo Yingdong''s wit, he can definitely guess something, not to mention that he doesn''t deliberately conceal it. The second is to spread it through the mouth of Huo Yingdong, and his career in Xiangjiang will be better developed in the future. The third is to ease the relationship between Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu. He knows that Huo Yingdong has a very good relationship with Xia Yu. As long as he shows his relationship with Xia Yu tonight, it is for Xia Yu¡¯s sake. His relationship with Huo Yingdong will ease a lot. In any case, Huo Yingdong is the major shareholder of Australia Entertainment Company second only to him, and even the chairman of Australia Entertainment Company at the beginning. Although the chairman has become him now, Huo Yingdong still holds the percentage. 30% of the equity is extremely important to the Australian Entertainment Company. He Hongshen didn''t expect Huo Yingdong to make such a move in a joke of Xia Yu suddenly, overturning all his plans and making him so embarrassed. He Hongshen thought maliciously whether Huo Yingdong did it on purpose! It can only be said that He Hongshen saved others by himself. Huo Yingdong really didn¡¯t think too much. He just wanted to give equity to Xia Yu. He just couldn¡¯t find a chance to repay Xia Yu¡¯s favor. He owed Xia Yu so much, he could say "all my friends The character that comes from the words "It all owes me" is enough to show his way of life. Let him, who likes to show kindness to others without asking for anything in return, owes Xia Yu''s adult favor again and again, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn''t pay back some. Moreover, he didn¡¯t care much about the shares of Australian Entertainment Company. Although the value was high, he did not like the industry. Otherwise, he would not seek to sell in the previous life. In the end, when he just entered the 21st century, he would At that time, nearly seven billion Hong Kong dollars worth of equity was donated, half of which was used to build Omen and half to develop charity. Let¡¯s talk about Xia Yu. After seeing Huo Yingdong¡¯s resolute attitude, Xia Yu glanced at He Hongshen, who had a slightly blunt smile, and Ye Deli, who was smiling but looked very different. He could only plan to go back and talk to Huo Yingdong. , This time first next. So he smiled and said, "That''s OK, then I''ll be brazen." After that, in order to ease the atmosphere, he joked to He Hongshen and the others: "Old Huo saved my life indirectly, and I won''t be suffocated by urine tonight, haha." "Now that we are all shareholders, come here, what do you plan to play, I can''t wait." With Xia Yu taking the initiative to relax the atmosphere, He Hongshen also took the stubbornness and asked everyone. "How about Texas Hold''em?" The question is so, his eyes still look at Xia Yu, after all, He Hongshen knows that both Ye Deli and Huo Yingdong can both play Texas Hold''em. Xia Yu said without hesitation: "I know Texas Hold''em. If you have no objection, please play this first." ... One night, although the atmosphere of playing has been very warm, Xia Yu still keenly noticed that He Hongshen was in a bad mood. In order to take care of He Hongshen''s emotions, Xia Yu really played casually tonight, did not use all his strength at all, and even deliberately lost a few hundred. Until the end of two o''clock, He Hongshen won more than three million, Ye Deli lost more than one million, Xia Yu also won tens of thousands, but Huo Yingdong lost nearly two million. However, the net worth of the people present is calculated in 100 million. Even the weakest Ye Deli has a net worth of more than two billion Hong Kong dollars. It is completely trivial for everyone to lose this little money. He Hongshen, who likes to be a big winner in everything, is a big winner at the gambling table tonight. Although he had a big smile on the table, his smile disappeared after arranging for Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong to enter the main room separately. On the way back, he was meditating all the way, thinking about the relationship between Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong. The pros and cons of Xia Yu''s entry into the Australian Entertainment Company... The next morning, after Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong had breakfast together, they saw He Hongshen again. After rejecting He Hongshen''s invitation, He Hongshen sent the two to the pier and watched them board the ship and leave. Let''s talk about Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu. After getting off the ship at the outlying island pier, Huo Yingdong extended an invitation to Xia Yu. "A Yu, do you want to go to my house and sit down? Help me give pointers to your nephews." Except for those young people in this room, even the youngest son in Huo Yingdong''s long room was older than Xia Yu at this time. Now that he heard this from Huo Yingdong, Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. However, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong met in the same generation and had the nature of a year-end relationship. If so, Xia Yu could really call their big nephews. Xia Yu also went to Huo¡¯s house a few years later. At that time, Huo Yingdong had such an attitude. Although Huo Yingdong¡¯s three sons were in their twenties and thirties, the older ones were even nearly forty years old. For Xia Yu, I still can¡¯t fully let go. Who made Xia Yu¡¯s power too powerful? The more they knew about Xia Yu from his father Huo Yingdong, the more they respected Xia Yu. After all, it was just a few years¡¯ achievements. Just surpassed their father. As for the younger children in this room, Huo Yingdong asked them to call Uncle Xia Yu, but they shouted very smoothly. Xia Yu smiled helplessly: "Lao Huo, I have said that I have made each other''s own, and I don''t dare to give advice. It is still possible to communicate with each other. Huo Yingdong didn''t care about these details, and Xia Yu agreed to go and made him very happy. He smiled and said: "Okay, then get in the car and go!" After that, he and Xia Yu got in their respective cars, and his car started to drive towards No. 33 Sassoon Road. After arriving at Huo''s mansion, Xia Yu saw Huo Yingdong''s family, and then Huo Yingdong called several sons to sit by and listen to his conversation with Xia Yu, and at the same time encouraged them to ask Xia Yu questions. Xia Yu knew everything about it, which benefited Huo Yingdong''s sons a lot. At lunch, Huo Yingdong personally poured wine for Xia Yu and toasted to thank Xia Yu for teaching his sons. After lunch, Xia Yu followed Huo Yingdong to the pavilion in the back garden to drink tea and chat. Huo Yingdong did not let his sons come over to listen. He took out a stack of documents and handed it to Xia Yu, saying, "Ayu, this is the equity certificate and transfer contract of the Australian Entertainment Company. You can sign the contract." Looking at the contract and equity certificate placed on the table in front of him, Xia Yu put down the teacup and said solemnly: "Old Huo, there is no need to be like this. He Hongshen and Ye Deli were present last night. I only agreed. That was just a talk. That''s it, don''t take it seriously." Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "You just accept it, I''m serious. These equity is not worth much. Compared with the money you made from speculating in gold and oil, this equity is incomparable." Xia Yu shook his head and said, "The nature is different. Don''t confuse it. Let''s go to the same yard and fry gold and oil. You paid for it, and I also charged half of the profit as a processing fee." "If you really give it this way, I will get up and leave, and I won''t come next time." Huo Yingdong showed hesitation and entanglement. When he saw Xia Yu''s resolute expression and was about to get up, he could only sigh and said: "Okay, you have to say that, what else can I do." "But He Hongshen and Ye Deli knew about it last night. I won''t be able to end it later!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. You can just sell me 10% of the equity." "How much, go back and I will transfer it to your private account." Huo Yingdong waved his hand and said: "You can give eight to eight, this number is auspicious, let''s send it together." Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry: "Lao Huo, it''s less than 100 million, what''s the difference between you and sending it." "In this way, I will calculate based on the valuation given by Economic Weekly. 10% of the equity is worth 240 million Hong Kong dollars. I will not give you a premium." "I also earned it, haha!" Huo Yingdong smiled helplessly: "A Yu, what am I saying about you? You are deliberately not to make me feel better! According to you, I accept that so many favors from you seem to be unclear for a lifetime! " Xia Yuhun waved his hand indifferently and said, "You don''t owe me any favors Besides, even if you don''t owe me favors, if I''m in trouble and ask you for help, can you still watch it?" Huo Yingdong raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation: "How is it possible, let alone you can''t be in trouble, even if this kind of thing does happen, I will save you even if I lose my fortune!" Xia Yu poured some tea to Huo Yingdong and smiled: "That''s all right, friendship returns to friendship, I can''t let your friend suffer, right?" Huo Yingdong shook his head helplessly, raised the teapot to add some tea to Xia Yu, and said, "A Yu, my brother still has to say a few words. The equity of Australia Entertainment Company just looks good. If it is not listed, it will not be worth buying. " "According to the current situation of Australia Entertainment, it is almost impossible to go public!" Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, remembering what he had heard in his previous life, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "How do you say this?" PS: The first update of 3500+ will be sent, and there will be another update tonight, with a base of 3000 words. txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 943: Huo Yingdongs grudge with the gambling king Huo Yingdong sighed: "I don''t know if you have paid attention to the shareholding structure of Australia Entertainment. He Hongshen himself and his Xinde company in Xiangjiang hold 35% of the shares, and his sister He Wanqi holds 10% of the shares. Fourth, his other brother-in-law, Ye Deli, holds 10% of the shares, so the He family holds a total of 59%. The Australian Entertainment Company is actually He Hongshen who has the final say." "Now I regret cooperating with He Hongshen and continuously diluting Ye Han''s equity. As a result, Ye Han only holds 10% of the equity and was kicked out of the Australian Entertainment Company. He has never entered the Lisboa Hotel in the past two years. door." "Although I had always held 30% of the shares before, I never cared about management rights. This result has led to the fact that the accounts of the Australian Entertainment Company have never been clear. My annual dividend is estimated to be only 1%. " "Furthermore, when the company was founded 20 years ago, it had already been determined that 10% of the proceeds should be used for public welfare undertakings every year, but it was implemented during the first years when I was the chairman of the board. After taking control of the Australian Entertainment Company, the Australian Entertainment Company became more and more profitable, but He Hongshen never executed it. I have quarreled with him many times because of this." Xia Yu nodded slightly in thought. Seeing Xia Yu listened to it, Huo Yingdong hesitated for a moment, a firm color flashed in his eyes, and asked: "A Yu, ask you something, you can answer if it is convenient." Xia Yu nodded casually: "Ask, between us, when have we been so restrained." Huo Yingdong asked immediately: "I heard that you are dating He Hongshen''s daughter?" There is nothing to say about this, and he also showed up in public with He Chaoqiong many times, and he must have been known to others. Now Huo Yingdong asked, Xia Yu calmly nodded and replied: "There is such a thing, what''s the matter? ?" Huo Yingdong was not surprised, and said with a smile: "I watched He Hongshen''s daughter Chaoqiong grow up. She is a good girl. You two match well!" "Haha, thank you!" Xia Yu thanked with a smile. After the compliment, Huo Yingdong''s face turned straight, and the conversation turned and said: "But even if you and He Hongshen are in the future, I still want to remind you that you have to protect He Hongshen. I have worked with him a few times. It has been ten years. At first, I was fishing for seaweed in the sea, and He Hongshen was my buyer." "His ancestor He Dong is a Dutch Jew. You should know what it looks like as a Jew. He Hongshen always takes his interests first, unlike our Chinese, who value friendship so much." "If it hadn''t been for my fate and life, there would be no beauty right now, maybe I would have stayed in a corner long ago, life and death would be hard to say." "If you are with his daughter, your chances of working with He Hongshen will be longer in the future. I know that with your brilliance, he may not be calculated by him, but you still have a more mind." Xia Yu nodded solemnly and said: "Old Huo, thank you for your reminder, my advantage is not so easy to take, unless I am willing to give it, otherwise others have to vomit it." After speaking, Xia Yu suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Old Huo, tell me about the relationship between you and He Hongshen? The news from the outside is messy, and I don''t know which one is true or false." Huo Yingdong smiled helplessly. He had heard a lot of gossip about him over the years, some of which were true and some were false, and he never bothered to argue. But now Xia Yu asked, considering that he could give Xia Yu an intuitive feeling, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, there was Cao Liu Qingmei who was a hero in cooking wine, and today I will make tea with you and talk about gossip. " Seeing Huo Yingdong say this seriously, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smiled, then narrowed his smile and looked at him quietly. "I first met He Hongshen in 1949, when I was 26 years old, He Hongshen should be 28 years old, he is a wealthy son, I am a grassroots who has worked hard for many years, and I barely have the capital to do some Chinese herbal medicine business." "He Hongshen happened to be my buyer at the time. He needed a batch of seaweed, so I took the order and hired more than a hundred people to salvage seaweed on the sand island. At that time, it was really hard work." "As a result, after catching enough searen grass, he prepared to let He Hongshen go weigh it, but he thought that my seaman grass was too much with a little sand, so he asked me to wash the seaman grass and dry it, otherwise he would not accept it." "At that time, the searengrass on the market was picked up and sold, and the buyer took care of it. But at that time, I caught too much, and most people couldn¡¯t eat it. If he didn¡¯t collect it, I would probably lose everything. After finishing the work, the weight was reduced by more than half. After it was sold out, the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars I invested was lost, and I had to save money again." "..." "Later, when He Hongshen bid for gambling in Longmen, because of his lack of strength, He Hongshen made a tactic to lead me into the game... I lent him 400,000 Hong Kong dollars for the bid, but he has not repaid it yet. After the successful bid, He Hongshen has no capital. Wanting to take more shares, I asked with a brazen face that I borrowed two million Hong Kong dollars to invest in the Australian Entertainment Company. He later returned the two million to me. Even so, I was the largest shareholder at that time and He Hongshen was the second. Ye Han third...After calculating again and again, my equity has shrunk to 30%, while Ye Han, the only one who is proficient in gambling and responsible for operations, was diluted to 10% and he was swept out by He Hongshen." "..." "In 1967, I already had a relatively large influence in the Hong Kong real estate industry. He Hongshen, together with me and two other people, established the Kowloon Real Estate Company. The development is not bad... Later, because I helped the mainland transport illegally. The product offended the U.S. government. At that time, the U.S. government imposed a ban on selling American products to the building where I participated. In order not to drag He Hongshen and the others, I offered to take over the shares of the three of them at a high price of 38 million Hong Kong dollars. , Let them get away, I will bear the pressure and risk." "But what makes me chill is that I talk about loyalty like this, but He Hongshen and the three of them turned around and sold the company''s equity to the land company of the Jardine consortium, and the most chilling thing is that the price offered by the land company is higher than the price I offered. The price is lower, and it is not all the cash at once!" "In the end, the Kowloon Real Estate Company was taken away by the Land Company, and I was also swept out." "Just because he was afraid of offending the British and Americans, He Hongshen ignored my many years of kindness to him and sold me directly. I turned my face with him at the time." ... "There is a saying that the country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change!" "To this day, I have seen it through. He Hongshen can be friends but not close friends. My relationship with him is limited to ordinary friends and business partners, nothing more!" After sighing, Huo Yingdong persuaded Xia Yu: "Ayu, if you say you can make money, the Australian entertainment company can make money, and the prospects are still there. However, unless He Hongshen can be suppressed, it is better to invest in other money. field." "Australian Entertainment still has a certain value to others, but I am not interested in the gambling industry, so it is a tasteless one for me." "The money I invested in the Australian entertainment company was only 20-30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the majority of it was the construction of the Grand Lisboa Hotel." "So you don¡¯t take the equity of Australian Entertainment Company so seriously. I said to give you a gift. It¡¯s not a joke. To me, I don¡¯t dare to be interested. I originally lowered the equity of Australian Entertainment Company. The idea of ??changing hands, now I¡¯ll send you to you, don¡¯t dislike it." After listening to Huo Yingdong''s words quietly, Xia Yu was full of emotion in his heart. While admiring Huo Yingdong''s affection, righteousness and responsibility, he also had a clearer impression of He Hongshen. The contrast between the two is too sharp! Sure enough, people who care about feelings have always been hurt by those who care about benefits. "Old Huo, thank you for your reminder, there are all kinds of people, many friends, just a few confidants." Xia Yu said in a comforting tone. Huo Yingdong laughed and said freely, "A Yu, what you said is pretty good. In life, it is enough to have two or three confidants. You and Lao Bao are my confidants, and I can still communicate with you when I am old. , It is the blessing of a lifetime!" Xia Yu also smiled and said: "Old Huo, it is also my honor to meet you!" "Hahaha..." The two of them looked at each other and smiled, quite a bit of news. After laughing, Xia Yu suddenly said: "Old Huo, since you are planning to find someone to sell the shares of the Australian Entertainment Company, it is better to sell it to me. I also take advantage of you. I only give out 700 million. What do you think? " Huo Yingdong frowned slightly, did not discuss the price, but asked: "A Yu, are you planning to fight He Hongshen?" Xia Yu shook his head and smiled: "No, he is Chao Qiong''s father after all, so I won''t let Chao Qiong be caught in the middle." "I mainly have three considerations. One of them is that the Australian Entertainment Company has some value and is one of the channels for investment preservation." "The second consideration was just after hearing about you and He Hongshen. Since dealing with He Hongshen is unavoidable in the future, I might as well prepare in advance and set up a pillar at the Australian Entertainment Company. This will also make He Hongshen worry. ." "The third consideration is the most important, and that is Omen''s future." "Ommen is definitely going to return, and as the main pillar of Oumen, Australia Entertainment''s tax revenue accounts for about half of Oumen''s GDP. So from the overall perspective, Oumen is related to Oumen. I hope to be able to participate in the future of 100,000 people and play a certain role for Omen¡¯s smooth return to the mainland. At the very least, I can stabilize the situation. Even after the return, if Omen wants to transform, I will be able to prevent the Australian Entertainment Company from failing. It became a stumbling block because of interest!" These words are true, but Xia Yu still has nothing to say, that is, he hopes to increase his influence in Omen, whether it is before or after the return, the influence is good for him! Huo Yingdong sighed: "A Yu, since you have considered everything, then I can rest assured!" "I will transfer all the equity to you. You don''t need to tell He Hongshen, but you have to think about how to lower his guard." "The remaining 20% ??of the equity certificate happens to be in my house. I will ask someone to come over and draw up the contract." Xia Yu said with a smile: "The proposed contract is okay, but the price has to be agreed. According to the valuation of the Australian Entertainment Company, your 30% equity is worth 720 million Hong Kong dollars. I will take a small advantage and give it to you. 700 million Hong Kong dollars!" Huo Ying had a face on the east, and his attitude resolutely said: "Ayu, I know the real situation of the Australian Entertainment Company better than you. The valuation of "Economic Weekly" is wrong. It must have not considered the financial and dividends of the Australian Entertainment Company. Question, if you think about it, I hold 30% of the shares, and the dividends only account for about 1%. The value of this equity has shrunk by more than half. I also take advantage of you, just as the Australian entertainment company is valued at 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. , You can give me 360 ??million Hong Kong dollars." "Compared to the 20-30 million Hong Kong dollars I invested, even considering the currency devaluation issue, I still made more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars!" "I''m very content!" "Brother, I also want to face it. Thanks to you, brother, I have earned more than three billion Hong Kong dollars in front and back, and it is all working capital, and my net worth has more than doubled!" "If you give me face to my brother, that''s all set!" "Sit here and wait for me, I''ll make a call!" After that, without waiting for Xia Yu''s answer, Huo Yingdong got up suddenly and walked straight to the villa. Xia Yu suddenly couldn''t laugh or cry, but there was a touch of warmth in his heart. This is a true friend! When he took Huo Yingdong and Bao Yu to make money, he also hoped that their two true patriots could make more money. Although he had the idea of ??deepening friendship, he never thought that they would repay the favor. But he hadn''t thought about it. It doesn''t mean that he wants to see Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong know how to be grateful. The attitude like Huo Yingdong''s current attitude is enough to prove that what he did is right. Since Huo Yingdong talked about this point, he couldn''t push it several times, so accept it calmly. Anyway, he asked himself if Huo Yingdong would suffer in this life. Soon, Huo Yingdong came back with the remaining 20% ??of the equity certificate. Not long after, the lawyer also came, and Huo Yingdong also had a printer in his home. The price is still calculated according to what Huo Yingdong said. The 30% equity transfer price is HK$360 million. Huo Yingdong directly gave Xia Yu the equity certificate and contract, saying that Xia Yu would have time to transfer the money to his personal account in Jiuding Bank and he would not mention it any more. It was very straightforward. After getting it done, the two continued to drink tea and chat. Suddenly, Huo Yingdong put down his tea cup and said to Xia Yu: "By the way, A Yu, I almost forgot to remind you of something." Xia Yu asked curiously: "What''s the matter?" Huo Yingdong said: "It''s still about the Australian Entertainment Company. Does the company still have a shareholder Ye Han. Although he was driven out by He Hongshen, he still holds 10% of the Australian Entertainment Company''s equity." "After being driven away by Ho Hongshen, Ye Han refused to admit defeat and invested 150 million yuan in the Taipa reclamation area to build a racetrack. The racetrack area reached 213,000 square meters. It was officially opened last year. In the horse-racing race, he was ready to grab He Hongshen¡¯s dog racing business, but Ye Han¡¯s old horse stumbled, and the horse-racing track has been at a loss since its opening.¡± "So now Ye Han is under great economic pressure, and he urgently needs money!" "Although he holds 10% of the Australian Entertainment Company in his hands, he will never want to return to the Australian Entertainment Company in his life. He Hongshen has never paid him dividends. This means that Ye Han''s equity is locked up and he is It means the chicken ribs among the chicken ribs." "The reason why he still holds equity is that no one has asked him to buy it, and the other is that he can''t let go of it." "As long as you pretend to be hostile to He Hongshen, and then make the right bid, it shouldn''t be a problem to win his equity ~ www.novelhall.com~ plus the equity you have now, you can increase the shareholding ratio to 40%. Although this equity ratio cannot affect He Hongshen¡¯s control, your voice will increase a lot, and at least he dare not deduct your dividends at will." Xia Yu nodded and said, "I understand. After I go back, I will arrange for someone to contact him." "Old Huo, thanks!" Huo Yingdong smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you!" "Come on, drink tea!" ... After four o''clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu offered to say goodbye. Huo Yingdong sent Xia Yu out of the door. Before Xia Yu got on the bus, he repeatedly greeted him to come again when he was free, and Xia Yu responded again and again. Finally, Huo Yingdong watched Xia Yu''s motorcade go away. PS: Two changes are completed, two changes are eight thousand words, please... txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 944: Tiangong Electric goes public When he took over Huo Yingdong¡¯s equity, Xia Yu did not immediately tell He Hongshen. Anyway, Australia Entertainment is not a listed company. Huo Yingdong will not talk too much. Naturally, Xia Yu does not want to stimulate He Hongshen at this time. Later, Xia Yu arranged for someone to collect Ye Han''s information, and made a targeted acquisition plan to take Ye Han''s equity as soon as possible. In the early morning of February 24, Xia Yu drove to Jiuding Electric Mall in Harbour City. He was accompanied by Huo Jianning and Li Qian. Today, Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company and Jiuding Electric Company will jointly hold a spring new product launch and promotion meeting. This event can be said to be unprecedented in Hong Kong, and the scale is extremely large. There are 21 stores under Jiuding Electric Company in Hong Kong and Austria, as well as 84 stores in Southeast Asia. A total of 105 stores are holding activities at the same time. The store in Harbour City is only the largest of the five stores in Kowloon. That''s it! The reason why Jiuding Electric Co., Ltd. has given Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company such a big help is entirely because it is the official listing of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company¡¯s independent "Tangong" brand electrical appliances. It needs to open up the situation as soon as possible to gain a firm foothold in the market as a brother Enterprises, how can Jiuding Electric Co., Ltd. not fully support it? The predecessor of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company was the Yihe Electronic Manufacturing Company acquired by Xia Yu. Although the Jardine Electronics Manufacturing Company is the largest home appliance manufacturer in Hong Kong, the Jardine Consortium does not want to make progress, and just acts as a foundry for other brands, and does not have its own ¡°Jiehe Electric¡± brand. After Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition, Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company was established on the basis of it. Relying on skilled workers and a complete production line, Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company¡¯s general manager Colin Hester formulated a self-improvement plan. Create an independent "Tiangong" brand. And Xia Yu is not a little trouble, if he does not move, he will shake the mountain. So Xia Yu gave instructions from the beginning that the "Tiangong Electric" brand will cover all types of home appliances, ranging from refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, air conditioners, kitchen and bathroom appliances to electric kettles, rice cookers, hair dryers, and razors. Wait, all have to be made. Needless to say, the previous satellite signal receivers are already on the market! It¡¯s just that there are too many types of these electrical appliances. Some of the original Jardine Electronics Manufacturing Company did not have an OEM production line, so Colin Hyster had to secretly purchase the production line and assemble, debug and reproduce. Because of this, it took more than a year without losing money and foundation. Now that the "Tiangong" brand of electrical appliances is finally officially released, Colin Hyster has blown the horn of the general attack, hoping to catch other electrical manufacturers on the market by surprise. Although all major manufacturers have been informed about the situation because they have already made all-round publicity a week in advance, it is too late to have major countermeasures. It took more than a year for Jiuding Electric Company to expand from more than 30 stores to more than 100 stores. Its sales channels cover the entire Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia. It is already the largest electrical appliance seller and its after-sales network is almost running-in. Under this circumstance, even if major manufacturers know that Jiuding Electric Co., Ltd. fully supports Tiangong Electric, they can only curse their mothers in their hearts and dare not use too strong words against Jiuding Electric Co. Unless they are willing to abandon the huge sales network of Jiuding Electric Company! However, with the full coverage of Tiangong Electric¡¯s brand, there is no threat even if they jointly exit. Even Colin Hester, the general manager of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company, is eager for them to do this and let Jiuding Electric Co. All of the booths are transferred out. Soon, several cars entered the parking lot of Harbour City. Xia Yu and others got off the car and arrived at the shopping plaza of Harbour City. Without Huo Jianning''s instructions, Xia Yu knew which store was in Jiuding Electric Mall. The golden inflatable arches, the huge stage on the square outside the door, and the splendid lion dance performances all attracted the attention of the crowds on the square. Xia Yu also saw a huge lamp and signboard hanging in a conspicuous position. At this moment, the press conference has not officially started, but there are already presenters warming up on stage. Xia Yu avoided the crowd and entered Jiuding Electric Mall. He went to the office on the second floor and met Song Hai, General Manager of Jiuding Electric Company, and Colin Hester, General Manager of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company, who were talking. After seeing Xia Yu and his party, Song Hai, Colin Hester and others immediately stopped talking and got up to say hello. "Today''s conference is well prepared, right?" After sitting down, Xia Yu asked with a smile. Colin Hester reported immediately: "Chairman, so far, everything is within the scope of the plan. By 9:30, the press conference will be held on time. The following links have been simulated many times, and there will never be any problem!" Song Hai said in another interface: "On the side of Jiuding Electric, all the stores have vacated the best booths for Tiangong Electric. The warehouses of each store are also fully stocked. For this event, we still have a big Expected." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "If you have confidence, I will be here to watch your performance this morning." Colin Hester and Song Hai glanced at each other and nodded together. Soon, the time came to 9:20 in the morning, Song Hai, Colin Hester and others went down to prepare to take the stage. However, Xia Yu considered that many reporters had already come below, and the crowd gathering was dangerous, so he waited in front of the French windows on the second floor. New product launches and trade fairs focused on sales, so Xia Yu saw Colin Hester and Song Hai¡¯s speeches that didn¡¯t take long, and soon announced the start of marketing activities. Today¡¯s store activity is very impressive. In addition to the full discount, there is also a lottery. Every one thousand will get a chance to draw a lottery. The second and third prizes will not be mentioned. There are three first prizes directly which means the total amount is returned. , The special prize is a cash prize of 88888 yuan, promised to be honored on the spot! This is not only the Jiuding Electric Store in Harbour City, but also more than 100 other stores. More than 9 million Hong Kong dollars were taken out for the special prizes. Of course, the premise is that all the special prizes can be opened! Faced with such a large-scale event, after announcing the start of the event, customers who were already gearing up rushed into the store of Jiuding Electric Appliances, choosing to place orders for the products they had already identified. When half an hour later, the first customer who bought more than 8,000 Hong Kong dollars for home appliances won the first prize, and stood in the center of the stage with the host, and after all the money was refunded in full view, the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax, originally hesitant Customers who passed by or customers who hadn''t planned to buy electrical appliances also rushed into the Jiuding Electric Mall. After going downstairs and seeing the crowded scene, Xia Yu knew that the event could be declared a success in advance. After instructing Song Hai to maintain order to avoid a safety accident, Xia Yu called Shang Kelin Heist to go to the factory of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company in the Kowloon area. According to a report by Colin Hester, the plant of Tiangong Electrical Appliance Manufacturing Company is mainly divided into two parts, 60% of which is in Xiangjiang Jiulong Industrial Park, and 40% of Pengcheng on the mainland, and it is planned to continue in Pengcheng. Expand the factory. The results of the visit made Xia Yu quite satisfied, because Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company is not just a deck assembly factory. In addition to acquiring relevant basic patents, it also values ??independent research and development. Many parts are self-produced, of course some are more high-precision Sharp parts need to be purchased from outside Xia Yu also understands that, after all, technology accumulation always requires a process. After encouraging Colin Hester, seeing that there was still some time, Xia Yu took Huo Jianning directly to the nearby Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. factory area. The main products of Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. are game consoles, in addition to other products such as electronic toys. As the chairman of the Tiangong Group and the executive president of the subsidiary Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., Huo Jianning emphatically led Xia Yu to visit the Tiangong Technology Laboratory he built. The laboratory was busy, and Huo Jianning constantly introduced Xia Yu to the R&D direction of each project team. When he saw a sample of a product under development, Xia Yu''s eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately asked Huo Jianning: "Jianning, how is this product developed? When is it expected to be officially launched?" PS: I''m sorry to work overtime late, my head is dizzy when I write, and I don''t know how the quality is. There is a foreshadowing in this pit, everyone can guess what the product is, and the manufacturing industry is working hard. txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 945: Tiangong Walkman Unexpectedly, facing Xia Yu¡¯s problem, Huo Jianning shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Chairman, this is a Walkman we developed. It has been 11 months since the project was approved. It is still a substandard semi-finished product. distance." Huo Jianning also did not intend to hide and cover her head. He directly called the project leader, Lu Chao, an expert in electronics field that Huo Jianning dug from the United States. He not only graduated with a doctorate, but also worked for General Electric before being dug. As a yellow man, Lu Chao didn¡¯t feel comfortable staying at General Electric, and the veteran General Electric had a strong internal bureaucracy. He couldn¡¯t completely meditate on scientific research. When Xiangjiang¡¯s Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. offered him an olive branch. Later, after understanding the situation, Lu Chao decided to quit and brought his family to Xiangjiang. "Dr. Lu, this is Mr. Xia Yuxia, chairman of the board. Could you please tell him some information about the Walkman project." Lu Chao, in his 40s, wore glasses and seemed uncomfortable. Even if he learned that Xia Yu was the chairman, he simply called out "Chairman" and then picked up the semi-finished prototype to introduce to Xia Yu. "This Walkman is currently positioned to determine the model, the measurements are 80x115x29mm, the weight is 300g, the power source is two dry batteries, the battery life is 8 hours, the maximum output power is 20mw+20mw, and the frequency response range is 40-12000Hz." "This is a comparison of horizontal parameters between us and Sony TPS-L2. We are superior in every aspect." With that, Lu Chao took out a comparison chart and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it and looked quickly. The comparison chart is very concise and clear. On the left are the parameters of the world''s first Walkman Sony TPS-L2, and on the right are the parameters of the Walkman developed by Tiangong Electronics. The arrow above each row in the middle indicates the amount of optimization. The Sony TPS-L2 Walkman has measurements of 88x133.5x29mm, a weight of 390g, a battery life of 8 hours, a maximum power of 15mw+15mw, and a frequency response range of 40Hz-12000Hz. In terms of frequency response range and endurance, both are the same. The former is the most suitable range today, while the latter is limited by battery technology and cannot be changed. The most obvious is that the volume has become smaller, the weight has become lighter, and the maximum power has been improved a bit! Xia Yu commented: "According to the current parameters, the market can also stand up, but the premise is that the sound quality is good." Unexpectedly, after hearing Xia Yu¡¯s praise, Lu Chao shook his head and said: ¡°The sound quality is no less inferior to the Sony TPS-L2 Walkman, but it is only compared to this Sony Walkman. We have many more products. Shortcomings, I can feel that this is not the limit!" "If the finalized production is launched to the market now, it can barely sell some, but it can''t give customers an amazing feeling." "The Sony TPS-L2 Walkman was introduced to the market in July 1979. Nineteen months have passed since then. Sony must have developed a second-generation product, and it is likely to be in production." "The most obvious thing about the Sony TPS-L2 Walkman is the size and weight. Sony will definitely make improvements in these two aspects. We will be able to reduce the weight to 300g afterwards. There is no reason that Sony cannot do it. At this point, I even guess that Sony¡¯s second-generation product will weigh less than 300g." "If we now finalize the production and launch it to the market, it is very likely that we will be defeated by Sony''s second-generation products without opening the situation." "So now this product is just a semi-finished product!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. Lu Chao can have this kind of request and awareness, which makes Xia Yu believe that he can develop better products. After thinking about it, Xia Yu asked Lu Chao: "Is there a Sony TPS-L2 player in the laboratory?" Lu Chao replied: "Yes!" After speaking, he went straight to a cabinet and opened it, and then took out a silver-looking Sony TPS-L2 Walkman. "Play the tape and compare the sound quality." Xia Yu ordered. Lu Chao nodded, directly loaded the battery, then put the tape, pressed the start button, and silently passed the headset to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took the earphones and put them into his ears, and the melodious singing voice came into the ears. Xia Yu closed his eyes and felt the sound quality carefully. After listening to a few songs, Xia Yu didn''t comment, and pressed each button to experience the function, and then let Lu Chao play the tape with his self-developed Walkman. After a few songs, Xia Yu took off the headphones and commented: "The sound quality seems to be better than the Sony TPS-L2 Walkman. What technology is used?" Lu Chao nodded and said: "Yes, our Walkman uses Dolby B noise reduction technology, and we have worked **** the jitter rate, and the transport accuracy has reached 0.05% WRMS." "But correspondingly, these two aspects of technology make our costs very high." Xia Yu immediately said: "It doesn''t matter if the cost is high. In the case of lagging behind Sony, even if we do not make money, we must establish the brand. The most important thing is that the product is good enough!" "But now in my opinion, this product is indeed a failure, and it has a lot of room for improvement!" Lu Chao''s eyes condensed and he was not angry. Instead, he calmly asked Xia Yu: "Chairman, the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders, what do you think needs to be improved?" Xia Yu was not polite and said directly: "First of all, the appearance. Although the current appearance is obviously different from the Sony TPS-L2 Walkman, it is still not amazing enough. I will draw an appearance for you to refer to." After speaking, Xia Yu found the blank paper and pen, thought for a moment, and began to draw quickly on the paper. After all, he has experienced the baptism of various electronic products in later generations. Even a rectangular iron box can make tricks in details. In less than five minutes, Huo Jianning and Lu Chao could feel a delicate visual sense even if only looking at the pictures. The appearance of the Sony TPS-L2 Walkman compares favorably with it! In later generations, the appearance of the Sony Walkman has been talked about by consumers, and has even been blown up as a "transmitter-designed shape". This shows that the Sony Walkman has been leading the trend in design. But in front of Xia Yu, a real traverser, the appearance of the Sony Walkman is incomparable. After putting down the pen, Xia Yu interrupted the discussion between Huo Jianning and Lu Chao, and continued: "The shape I drew can be compared with a shell. Each function key can also be adjusted according to the situation. Next, I will talk about the function. aspect." "A tape must be listened to from beginning to end, which is very inconvenient. Why not develop a technology that allows our Walkman to automatically turn over the tape?" "If the tape can be automatically turned over, can it be possible to further develop repeat playback technology?" "I pressed each button just now. It requires a certain amount of force and the sound is relatively loud. This is very unfriendly to the customer. We can develop a touch button control system for this." "Also, the Walkman was originally developed on the basis of the broadcaster, but now it has lost the FM radio function. We can re-add this function on the basis of controlling the weight and volume, and the Walkman will have an impact. The market for broadcasters." "Speaking of broadcasters, recording and playback are also functions of broadcasters, but the Sony TPS-L2 Walkman does not have these functions. We can also make our products have recording and playback functions." "There is also the most critical sound quality. Although the Dolby B noise reduction technology is now used, since this technology can be licensed to us, then Sony must be able to use it. After using this technology, the sound quality has improved, But I think it can be more delicate." "..." Xia Yu explained the common functions of the walkman in later generations one by one. These are functions that are so common in later generations that they can no longer be common. But now that he said it, it made Lu Chao''s heart tremble, and the pen in his hand quickly recorded it. , For fear of missing something. After all the records were completed, Lu Chao looked at Xia Yu eagerly, hoping that he would continue to say: "Chairman, do you have any pointers?" Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, and said, "Dr. Lu, I have thought of these for the time being, but if these are all developed, do you think it is not enough to fight Sony?" Lu Chao immediately said: "It must be enough, as long as it can be done, it is not impossible to share the world with Sony, or even surpass Sony!" "That''s not enough, you should develop what I said as soon as possible." "By the way, the Walkman was invented by Sony. In terms of patents, are there any constraints?" Xia Yu asked with concern. Lu Chao shook his head and said: "Chairman, you are wrong. The Walkman was not invented by Sony. Sony only invented the Walkman, not the Walkman. If you pay attention, you will find that Sony¡¯s own propaganda only mentions Sony. Invented walkman, and this term was coined by Sony itself." "In fact, the concept of Walkman was put forward by the Americans in the late 1950s. The concept was''portable, integrated, battery-driven portable audio player''." "In 1964, Philips introduced a portable radio recorder!" "And just last year, a German named Andrew Pavel from UU Reading also sued Sony on the grounds that Sony had infringed on his concept patent-the personal stereo product system. Both parties are still negotiating." "We can ignore him for now, but we can also pay a little money to buy his patents in private to prevent him from biting us like a mad dog." "As for the various basic technologies on the Walkman, they have been used all over the world, and they are basically used in portable radio cassette recorders." "Even though the word walkman was invented by Sony, we can still use it. Because this word is not a trademark, it does not meet the requirements for patent registration. Now the island country Aihua Company and Matsushita Electric are also using walkman. this phrase." "If we have to say that there are restrictions on patents, it can be said, but the premise is that we use the technology developed by Sony. After listening to your instructions just now, the technology we independently developed is sufficient, even if there is a patent conflict. , Can also be obtained through patent exchange." "So in terms of patents, there are no constraints." txt download address: phone-reading: v3 Chapter 946: Break 100 million in 4 days Chapter 946 Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is no restriction. You can know more about technology research and development. You can ask Huo Jianning if you have any difficulties. In terms of hardware, the company will provide you with the best." "In addition to researching technology, you will not be involved in other things." Lu Chao said gratefully, "Thank you, Chairman!" At this moment, Xia Yu looked at the tape on the desktop and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind. He clearly remembers that before his rebirth, tapes were eliminated by the market long ago, and in foreign countries, the elimination time was earlier. It seems that in the next few years, CD records will appear, and will have a huge impact on tapes and vinyl records. Technology continues to innovate. In the Internet age, music has evolved into full digitalization. Although there are singers who will release vinyl records, those who can release are all singers of the heavenly king level, and the number of releases is very small, mainly to meet the needs of some fans. This means that the tape and vinyl record industry is already a sunset industry! After more than a hundred years of development, there will only be a market for another ten or twenty years! Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt that this was a very important opportunity. He asked Lu Chao, "Dr. Lu, do you know anything about laser discs?" Lu Chao didn¡¯t know why Xia Yu suddenly raised this question. He nodded slightly and said: ¡°I have a certain understanding. The laser disc is a device that uses the principle of laser to read and write. It uses optical information as a storage carrier. Good item for storing data." "In this field, the most successful is the Dutch Philips company, which launched the laser video disc player in 1972 and the LD format laser video disc system in 1978. In addition, other electronic companies in the world also have this aspect. Research has not yet formed a unified standard." "As for more detailed information, it needs to be collected and sorted out. It will take a certain amount of time." "But I have many classmates and friends who have researched in this field, and it is not difficult to collect them." Xia Yu looked at the time and found that he was about to leave work, so he said to Lu Chao, "Dr. Lu, please collect this information when you are free in the near future, and then consider the possibility of storing music on a CD. If it can be stored, what kind of impact will it have on the field of Walkman." These words of Xia Yu moved Lu Chao a lot, and there was a lot of room for imagination. Just guessing, he can predict how much impact this technology will have on the newly emerging walkman market. With the tape-type walkman lagging behind Sony, if a CD-type walkman can be developed, the amount of data stored on the optical disc... The more I think about it, Lu Chaoyue feels that this road is very bright. This is a shortcut that can go well and overtake Sony! Seeing that Lu Chao fell into deep thought and didn''t answer himself, Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. This is a common problem of scientific researchers. Once he has inspiration, he can''t care about anything. However, Lu Chao''s character made Xia Yu more satisfied. "Jianning, let''s go first, and you will remind Dr. Lu later to form a complete report for me as soon as possible." "Ok!" ... Early the next morning, Huo Jianning presented the detailed results of the first day of activities of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company and Jiuding Electric Company. The rougher results have been reported to Jiuding Newspaper Company, which was seen in the newspaper early this morning, which caused a huge sensation. The sales of 105 stores reached 30.45 million Hong Kong dollars, of which the sales of Tiangong brand electrical appliances reached 28.65 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 94%! The store with the best performance has set a record since opening, with a daily transaction volume of 460,000 Hong Kong dollars! However, the turnover is high, but the profit is actually very thin. Excluding the activity cost, the profit is less than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be seen that the marketing efforts of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company and Jiuding Electric Co., Ltd. have worked hard in order to start the brand and occupy the market! Now that this kind of result can be achieved without losing money, it has been very successful! On the second day of the event, I thought that sales would decline, but unexpectedly reached a new peak, reaching HK$31.27 million! After the questionnaire survey, there are many reasons. One reason is that newspapers and television stations have carried out all aspects of publicity, especially the large-scale publicity of the first prize full cashback and the special prize of more than 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. Many people are envious. In the place where Feng Shui prevails in Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang people have enigmatic confidence in their own luck. Few people will admit that their luck is worse than others before hitting the south wall. With this mentality, many people waved banknotes and rushed into the nearest Jiuding Electric Mall. The second reason is the timely delivery and installation. Many customers who bought new appliances returned home, showed off among their neighbors, and were content to pick up cheap wise actions for themselves. Many relatives and neighbors were excited, and husbands and wives talked overnight. These two reasons are the main factors that make the sales peak again the next day. On the third day, the sales of Tiangong brand electrical appliances of Jiuding Electric Company were 30.34 million Hong Kong dollars! On the fourth day, the sales of Tiangong brand electrical appliances were 27.15 million Hong Kong dollars! Sales exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars in four days! As soon as the news was exposed, it caused a huge reversal. Newspapers outside the Jiuding department also reported that the Tiangong brand electrical appliances were blown to the sky, which caused the original decline in sales to stop, and sales reached the fifth day. 28.36 million Hong Kong dollars. In five days, the total sales of Tiangong brand electrical appliances sold by Jiuding Electric Co., Ltd. was 145.77 million Hong Kong dollars! Statistics show that Hong Kong¡¯s local sales are only HK$32.17 million, accounting for 22%. This means that Jiuding Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. and Tiangong Electric Appliance Manufacturing Co. have brought back more than 110 million Hong Kong dollars for Xiangjiang. After learning of this data, the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government and MacLehose were greatly moved. In shock, a new round of consultations was held on the proposal for economic transformation in Xiangjiang. This time there was much less resistance. Of course, there are also many original opponents who have changed their original position under the Jin Yuan offensive. On March 1, Huo Jianning submitted the report collected by Lu Chao. Seeing the thick pile of reports in front of him, Xia Yu was a little surprised, and asked Huo Jianning: "Jianning, it''s been less than a week, right? I just sorted out the report?" Huo Jianning with a strange expression on Xia Yu explained the reason: "Chairman, Lu Chao is crazy. He didn''t eat lunch after you left and kept thinking until more than two o''clock. After assigning R&D tasks to his staff, they began to collect information and sort out reports, and I didn''t expect him to be so fast." "Today he called and told me that when the report was made, I was stunned. The whole person was sloppy and fleeing, his face was stubble, and his hair was so greasy." A vivid picture immediately appeared in Xia Yu''s mind. He was a little bit dumbfounded, and then admired Lu Chao as a pure person in his heart. "You will remind him more in the future. The body is the capital of the revolution. Research should be done, but we must grasp the degree so as not to die young." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the report and read it. This kind of report with more professional terms is very boring, and it is relatively difficult to read and understand, but Xia Yu still remained patient enough and took more than an hour to read it. After reading it, he also had a clear understanding of the laser disc technology at this time in his mind. Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 947: Become an industry standard setter At this time, the laser disc technology has really not developed to the CD stage, and it is in the initial stage of LD laser video disc. Even the laser disc technology has nothing to do with computers. In terms of technical principles, there are two aspects to laser discs: writing information and reading information. Writing information is to use a laser to focus on the optical disc medium to form a beam of about 1 micron in diameter, and burn small pits on the optical disc. Each small pit and each flat area is a bit of information to indicate the data "1" and "0". The reading of information is based on the difference in light reflection between the pits and the unablated area. The laser is used to read the information, and the modulated laser beam is projected onto the disc medium. There are no pits, and most of the incident light returns. , Due to the depth of the pit, the reflected light is offset with the incident light and does not return. In this way, the "0" and "1" information recorded on the optical disc medium are read out according to the difference in the reflection ability of the light beam. Then in 1972, the Dutch Philips company launched the laser video disc machine, and introduced the laser video disc system-LD, that is. The LD-laser video disc records analog signals, and the analog recording uses frequency modulation modulation. The disk space is very large. The storage method uses double-sided storage technology and double-sided playback technology. It¡¯s just that the diameter of the LD-laser disc has reached 30 centimeters, and the laser disc player is very bulky. Although Philips established the LD format in 1978 in order to reduce costs and lower the market circulation threshold, it was still because of its bulkiness. And the high price cannot be widely promoted to families. Then at this time, the home tape machine appeared again, giving the LD laser video disc machine a major blow. Knowing what to do, Philips sold most of the copyright of the LD laser video disc format to the island pioneer company. After the island pioneer company bought the format copyright, it launched the first LD player VP-1000 in July last year, and combined with its own strength in the field of car audio, it is developing LD players for cars. The report also wrote that after selling the copyright of the LD format, Philips is conducting research on new laser optical disc technology, mainly to solve the shortcomings of analog signals and develop a new generation of optical disc storage systems. Although technology research and development is a very secret matter, it is inevitable to register patents in order to seize the level of technology. Therefore, even if you do not know the detailed technical principles after patent registration, you can still guess the general category of the technology. Therefore, Lu Chao can judge that the world is now not only the leader in the industry of Phillips, but also companies such as the island country Sony, the island country Matsushita Electric Co., and West Germany Siemens are all conducting relevant research. ... After closing the report, Xia Yu combined the memory in his mind and began to ponder, wondering how he should act. Although Xia Yu is not proficient in optical disc technology, he has heard of it. After all, whether it is the VCD player of the later generations or the optical disc of the Internet age, it is subject to the yellow book standard and the red book standard of the optical disc. But these two standards are for later generations. After reading the report, Xia Yu can be sure that these two standards have not been established at all, and there is still a long time before they are established. As the saying goes, first-class companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, and third-rate companies make products! Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. wants to be a giant in the field of optical discs and storage in the next few decades, and must not miss this opportunity to become an industry standard setter. I still remember that in the past life, it seems that Philips and Sony jointly formulated the Red Book Standard and the Yellow Book Standard. This also enabled the two companies to stand at the top of the pyramid to **** blood in the torrent of the information revolution. Xia Yu looked at his watch and found that it was only ten o''clock, and there was more than an hour before get off work. He stood up and said to Huo Jianning: "Jianning, accompany me to see Lu Chao in the Tiangong Technology Laboratory. I have something to talk to him." Huo Jianning knew that it was a report, and he readily promised, and then accompanied Xia Yu to go. Soon, Xia Yu came to the Tiangong Technology Laboratory again and found Lu Chao, who was concentrating on fiddling with a precision instrument. "Dr. Lu, the chairman is here, I want to talk to you about something!" Huo Jianning walked to Lu Chao and raised his voice, awakening Lu Chao. The latter raised his head, pushed the glasses that were a little slippery because of grease, and said to Xia Yu with scorching eyes: "Chairman!" Sure enough, as Huo Jianning said before, Lu Chao''s beard is very long, and his hair is a little messy, and there seems to be a yellow solid around the corner of his eyes. It''s just that although his appearance is sloppy, the eyes under his glasses are extremely bright, showing his different looks, which impressed Xia Yu very deeply. "Dr. Lu, stop for a moment. Let''s go to the office and sit and chat. I read the report you made and I want to discuss some ideas with you." Xia Yu said softly. Hearing it was a discussion, Lu Chao''s eyes became brighter. The brains of Chairman Xia Yu a few days ago gave him a great impact. Now there is a chance to exchange ideas, and he has some expectations in his heart. "Okay, Chairman, I will turn off the instrument first." After speaking, he immediately turned around, turning off the instrument quickly. Half a minute later, he came to the office with Xia Yu and Huo Jianning. As soon as he sat down, he couldn''t wait to ask: "Chairman, is there anything wrong with my report?" Xia Yu put the report on the desktop, smiled and shook his head and said: "The report is okay. The content is very detailed. It can be seen that you are doing it very seriously. I want to talk to you about the future of laser discs and what we can do. !" Lu Chao refreshed, immediately opened the notebook he was holding when he came to the office, sat up straight, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and said, "Chairman, you say!" Xia Yu thought for a while, found an entry point and started talking. "The LD laser video disc system uses analog signals and reads optical information. Although a 1 micron laser beam is used for recording, the area on the disc has been fixed. Even if it can be recorded on both sides, the information that can be stored is limited. , The amount of information storage is directly proportional to the size of the disc." "But the shortcomings are also obvious. They are very impressed with interference and noise, and because they are ablated by laser beams, they can easily hide dirt and even cause signal errors due to scratches and contamination." "Of course, it is also obvious that it is too large. This is one of the reasons why the LD laser disc cannot be promoted on a large scale. The combination of the laser disc machine is too bulky." "For these, I have some ideas." "The most fundamental reason for these problems is actually because of the analog signal, which leads to inaccurate data reading, and is easily affected and leads to reading errors." "So can you develop a photoelectric conversion technology, such as pulse counting? Transcode the analog signal for digital processing, and then compress and record the transcoded digital signal on the optical disc, which can directly solve the shortcomings of interference and noise sensitivity. " "Not only that, we can code each part of the information and determine the address. Just like a library, we can put the books of science, humanities, military, health, etc. into different bookshelves. When looking for information, You can find the information you need in the shortest time." "An error detection and error correction scheme can also be added to reduce the bit error rate." "In this case, we can store dozens or even hundreds of times as much data in the same size disc, then the size and weight of the disc can be reduced, and the volume of home-style CD players and video players will be much smaller. , The market will reopen." "The laser disc has become smaller, and it should be enough to develop a portable player that plays the laser disc. "..." Lu Chao was excited by the flushing of the ground and said loudly: "Chairman, your idea should be right. This is the right way. If we really develop products, we will make a huge contribution to the world." "Not only the Walkman market, but the larger computer market will also have a huge impact." Xia Yudan said with a smile: "Dr. Lu, if I am not mistaken, Philips and Sony are already studying related technologies and have made some progress. If we are to catch up, do you think it will be difficult? " Lu Chao''s excitement instantly cooled down, and he frowned and thought quickly. For a long time, he stretched his brows and said: "Chairman, according to the data I collected, Philips and Sony have not yet developed photoelectric conversion technology for the patents they applied for. Maybe they have developed another technology." "Edison once said that genius is ninety-nine percent of sweat and one percent of inspiration, but that one percent of inspiration is the most important." "Since Philips and Sony have not researched the technology for several years, it will certainly not be a problem of scientific research strength. It should be that they have not found the right direction and are still experimenting one by one." "But my instinct tells me that your idea is right, correct or not, you will know after experimenting. Our laboratory has the world''s top experimental facilities. The only restriction is the elites in the electronics field, but I can contact My classmates and friends may be able to find some people to come and develop together." "As long as they are willing to help me, I have a certain degree of confidence!" Xia Yu said immediately: "Dr. Lu, the company has never been soft on talents. As long as you can recruit people, they will definitely be satisfied in terms of treatment, and they can calm down and do scientific research." Lu Chao nodded and said, "I''m going to call now!" After speaking, he got up, ready to leave the office. Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, and immediately said: "Dr. Lu, you sit down first, don''t worry, I still have something to say." Lu Chao sat down again and looked straight at Xia Yu. Xia Yu continued: "I suggest that you pay close attention to the trends of Philips and Sony when developing technologies. We must strive to become a leader and standard setter in this field, which determines the company''s future." "Besides, you recruit people as much as possible. CD-ROM technology represents the future, but tapes and walkmans cannot be left behind. Walkmans are the cash cow of technology research and development, do you understand?" Lu Chao took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said: "Chairman, I understand what you said, the development of the Walkman has not stopped, and I will realize your vision as soon as possible." At this time, Huo Jianning also said: "Chairman, I will also strengthen supervision and speed up on the premise of maintaining quality and quantity." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm!" After chatting with Lu Chao for a while I found that Lu Chao was obviously a little absent-minded. He should have been thinking about technology in his head, so Xia Yu simply sent him away. After Lu Chao left, Xia Yu took a sip of tea, leaned on the sofa, and said to Huo Jianning, "Jianning, there is one thing you need to do." Huo Jianning leaned forward slightly and said softly: "Chairman, please give me your instructions!" Xia Yu opened the report, pointed to a location and said to Huo Jianning: "You go and collect information about the island pioneer company. Although the LD format laser disc system has drawbacks, it is not useless. It has a lot of advantages in the industrial and automotive fields. If appropriate, I am going to acquire it." Huo Jianning took the report and focused on the words Island Pioneer Company. He nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will arrange for someone to collect information right away." "Ok!" "It''s almost off work, let''s go!" Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 948: A museum with assets of 800 million On March 3rd, just after Xia Yu had eaten at noon, he received a call from Huashengshi to announce that the Hong Kong Kowloon Cultural Museum, which took more than two years to build, was finally completed! Suddenly knowing the good news, Xia Yu still has a trace of excitement because his heart is strong. At this time, he had no intention of taking a nap, put on his jacket, and drove to the Huasheng family home. After picking him up, he rushed to the vicinity of Kowloon Bay in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon. Before the car arrives, through the window glass, you can see a magnificent ancient palace from a distance, which has a great visual impact. Xia Yu thought back in a daze. It seemed that the last time he came was a year ago, and the last time he saw exposed reinforced concrete pillars, the changes have changed too much now. After a while, the car stopped in the parking lot, and Xia Yu and others walked out and found Pei under the leadership of Hua Shengshi. "Mr. Bei, long time no see, thank you very much!" Xia Yu walked over with a smile and shook hands with I.M. Pei to say hello, and then looked at the magnificent museum in front of him, and said with emotion: "The museum is designed so well. Standing here, you can feel the weight and elegance that come to your face. And it is very distinguishable, which embodies the essence of Chinese architectural culture." Pei couldn''t help smiling because of Xia Yu''s high evaluation. He quickly said modestly: "Mr. Xia, you shouldn''t have such a high evaluation." "I''ll take you to visit." "Okay, trouble you!" Before the visit, Pei I.M. went to get Xia Yu a pair of completed drawings of the museum, and then took him up the bluestone stairs. The Kowloon Cultural Museum sits north to the south, backed by the green hills, and overlooks the sea of ??Kowloon Bay from the front. There are buildings on three sides in the northeast and west. The main building on the front is like a huge tower, with a blue-gray antique wall as high as 12.88 meters. People climbed up the carefully carved bluestone stairs to the square on the same level as the main hall, and then went straight through the cost. The exterior of the museum is majestic and majestic, while the interior focuses on reflecting the delicate and graceful beauty of Chinese culture. Although the main structure of the Kowloon Cultural Museum is reinforced concrete, it is mainly for load-bearing. The exterior and internal surface details are decorated with antiques. It can be said that modern technology and ancient art are combined. While introducing Pei, and Xia Yu admiring it, he walked around the entire museum for more than two hours, and he also had a specific understanding of the museum. The entire museum covers an area of ??about 60,000 square meters, equivalent to 6 square hectares, which is equivalent to 4.2% of the size of Jiuding University. Although the area of ??Xia Yu¡¯s museum is far smaller than that of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and even less than half of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, it is already as large as the National Palace Museum on the mainland. Although Kwun Tong is a well-known industrial area in Hong Kong, land prices are much cheaper than those in urban areas such as Hong Kong Island, but it cost more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars to buy such a large piece of land. However, in Xia Yu''s opinion, it is quite cost-effective. In the future, the museum will not have to consider expansion. Such a large area is enough to collect one or two million pieces of collection. He can fill the museum and burn it in his lifetime. It is estimated that only a small number of places can be activated now! After all, there are not enough cultural relics. Thinking of cultural relics, Xia Yu looked at Hua Shengshi next to him and asked: "Old Hua, I want to ask, how many cultural relics have we collected now?" Hua Shengshi had already kept the data firmly in his heart, and blurted out at this moment: "Now there are 11,914 antique cultural relics!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Now that the museum is built, then we can consider decorating the museum." Hua Shengshi smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, I have been doing this work. When Mr. Pei was building the museum, I had already considered the subsequent display. All the cultural relics have been compiled with cultural relic information, such as jade, calligraphy and ceramics. The exhibition halls for wares, gold and silverware, and bronze wares are all set up. You only need to ensure safety to place cultural relics in different categories." "Since the preparation is so full, I will arrange the elite security team of Aegis Security to station in the security aspect. Do you have any considerations for the opening and operation of the museum?" Xia Yu asked. Hua Shengshi confided his thoughts: "Mr. Xia, although the pavilion and showcase have been built, it takes at least 20 days to put more than 10,000 cultural relics in it. My suggestion is next Choose a good day of the month to officially open." "Moreover, I think the Kowloon Cultural Museum is your private museum. You have already taken a big risk in displaying cultural relics. For the safety of cultural relics and the future of the museum, the museum should open for a fee." Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "It should be open for a fee. No one will cherish free things. There is no threshold, which will put a lot of pressure on the operation of the museum. However, the tickets should not be too high. I don¡¯t rely on this to make money. It is enough to maintain the museum¡¯s normal status. Operation and maintenance will do." "As for the collection of cultural relics, I mainly rely on my personal acquisition. If the museum has surplus, it can also be used to purchase cultural relics." When the museum is open to the outside world, a large number of security personnel will absolutely need to patrol and guard, and there will be a large number of staff, all of whom must be paid. In addition, the museum must be maintained and repaired every year, otherwise even the copper walls and iron walls will be corroded in the wind and rain, not to mention the many antique architectural structures outside the museum. Even if the ticket price for each person is 30 Hong Kong dollars and the daily traffic reaches 10,000, the ticket revenue in that year can reach about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. This requires Hong Kong to visit once a year per person, which is obviously impossible! Maybe after the people on the mainland become rich in the future, it will stimulate the tourism market in Hong Kong and open up the revenue ceiling of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. Judging from the current situation in Xiangjiang, it would be pretty good that the actual situation can be tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If you think about the size of the museum, the security and security staff would have to be 500. Even if the average company is 4,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, it will pay 2 million Hong Kong dollars a month, and it will cost 2,400 a year. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu knew that even the Metropolitan Museum of New York, one of the world''s four largest museums, would have an annual income of 385 million U.S. dollars, but expenditures reached 400 million U.S. dollars and still suffered losses. And 99% of museums in the world are losing money! When he was alive, he still had the confidence to guarantee the support of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, but he planned to inherit this museum. If in the future there is a prodigal family and the family is ruined and there is no money to maintain the operation, it will cause big problems. It is better to establish a perfect one from the beginning. The system is free! While Huashengshi moved Xia Yu''s attitude, it also considered Xia Yu''s pressure. There are now more than 10,000 cultural relics, more than 1,000 of which were donated by him, but the remaining nearly 10,000 cultural relics still cost more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars. Coupled with the money for the establishment of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, Xia Yu has invested more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars. This money can make this pig into the top 50 richest in Xiangjiang! If you want to build the Kowloon Cultural Museum into the world''s top museum, the money you need will be lost. Of those world museums, there are more than one million pieces of cultural relics, even more than four million pieces. Although not all cultural relics are exquisite and can have a high value, but the quantity is there, compared with the more than 10,000 cultural relics currently owned by Xia Yu, the gap can be imagined. Xia Yu has to invest more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars! With so much money, why don''t you have to put it into the bottomless pit of the museum? Therefore, Hua Shengshi said: "Mr. Xia, I think it is unrealistic to buy through your investment alone. We have to increase other channels, such as accepting free donations." "I believe that there will definitely be such people in this world." Just like him, he can donate more than 1,000 cultural relics to Xia Yu. Kind people are full of kindness when they look at the world. Therefore, Huasheng Shi believes that there will be people like him in this world. Xia Yu thought about it carefully and said: "This is also a way, but Hualao, in order to dispel the doubts of the donors, we have to add a clause to the terms of accepting the donation, that is, the donated cultural relics will never be again in our museum. Flow to the market, only for exhibitions!" Hua Shengshi smiled and nodded: "Okay, with this addition, the donors can rest assured." "By the way, Mr. Xia, one more thing is about the opening of the museum." "Our Kowloon Cultural Museum is not well-known. If there is no passenger flow, it will not be able to play the role of cultural dissemination. Do you want to hold a grand opening ceremony?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyebrows and said: "The opening ceremony is definitely necessary, but this alone is not enough. It cannot attract the attention of all the people of Xiangjiang and Omen." "You have to think of a special way." After Hua Shengshi listened, he immediately thought about it. At this moment, Pei, who had been listening with a smile, suddenly made a suggestion: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Hua, when I was in the United States, I heard a rumor about it. Although the methods were a bit disgraceful, I heard that the effect was very good. ." Xia Yu and Hua Shengshi looked at Pei immediately. "Mr. Bei, I don''t know what the rumors are." IM Pei smiled and said: "I was in Florida at the time. A private museum in Florida was not operating well. The owner of that museum bought the highest-priced lot in an auction and brought it back to his museum. , Caused a huge sensation in the local area, and the tourists skyrocketed for a while. "But later there was a rumor that the cultural relics bought by the owner were actually top collections from his private collection. Although the auction house received a commission because of the auction, he quickly made money back with the help of tickets. The reputation of the museum is even greater." Xia Yu and Hua Shengshi looked at each other. Seeing Hua Shengshi¡¯s questioning eyes, Xia Yu said with a smile: ¡°Although this method is a bit detrimental, it is indeed a good one But Sotheby¡¯s auction house is mine, so I have left and right hands. Do it." "Mr. Pei, you have solved another problem for us." Xia Yu thanked Pei. Pei repeatedly waved his hands and said, "I just talk about it casually, that is, Mr. Xia, you have this strength, and you don''t need to be another person." "Thank you anyway!" Xia Yu said with a smile, then looked at Huashengshi, and asked: "Old Hua, I remember Sotheby¡¯s auction house¡¯s spring auction will be held this month. The time is just right. We have not had more than 10,000 cultural relics. I have shown that, which one is the most valuable? The most sensational?" PS: Two more 6,000 words are completed, and we will collect another idea. In terms of the loss of cultural relics overseas, what are the invaluable treasures that have caused great regrets to the Chinese people. You can talk about it in the chapter, maybe it will be used tomorrow!

I say here that you may not have any idea. If you are free, you might as well go to the scene to determine which one to use." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I haven''t seen it in a long time." After speaking, he looked at Pei I.M. and asked with a smile: "Mr. Pei, are you interested in going there together?" IM Pei smiled and said: "Of course I am interested. Although I am overseas most of the time, I never forget that I am a descendant of Yan and Huang. I have the opportunity to appreciate the splendid Chinese culture. I can''t miss it." "Haha, Mr. Bei praised this!" After speaking, Xia Yu and others went to the parking lot, left the Kowloon Cultural Museum, and went to his villa dedicated to storing antiques and cultural relics. Before there were few cultural relics, he built a basement in his home for collection, but later, considering the inconvenience, he moved the cultural relics again and concentrated them in a special villa. Anyway, he is now the number one landlord in Hong Kong besides the Hong Kong government, and he has no shortage of houses at all! Because of the high value of cultural relics, Xia Yu also specially arranged for security teams to patrol and guard them around the clock. Soon after the security personnel confirmed their identities, the vehicles of Xia Yu and others entered the garage of the villa, led by Hua Shengshi, to the door of the basement. While unlocking the lock, Hua Shengshi said to Xia Yu and others: "Mr. Xia, not all cultural relics are placed in the basement, because the space below is limited, so they are stored in the higher value batch." "Tick!" While talking, the precise door lock opened, Huashengshi pressed a button again, and the alloy door more than ten centimeters thick opened slowly. "There is a ventilation system in the basement, so there is no risk of suffocation." "please follow me!" After speaking, Hua Shengshi took Xia Yu and others down the stairs, then turned left and right, and came to another gate. After another unlock, everyone finally walked in. Xia Yu thought it would be densely placed here, but he didn''t expect to come in but found it was very empty, and there were not many cultural relics placed. However, he thought about it and thought it was normal. If the most valuable cultural relics are piled up like a mountain, they will not be displayed. Only a few pieces can be more precious. "Mr. Xia, I think the most valuable cultural relics are here." Pointing to the contents of the glass cabinets, Hua Shengshi said to Xia Yu. "The first one is the one on the left. This is the best of all the paintings in our collection!" Following Hua Shengshi¡¯s fingers, Xia Yu looked at a five-to-six-meter-long glass cabinet on the left. Inside, it was a painting, and it was very long. At first glance, the dark yellow material It doesn''t seem to be paper, but silk cloth. Xia Yu approached to observe. When he saw a few of the words, his eyes condensed, and he looked up at Hua Shengshi, and said in amazement: "This is the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" by Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Is it authentic? ?" When he asked, he didn''t wait for Hua Shengshi to answer, and he searched for the painting to see if he could find a seal that could prove Gu Kaizhi''s identity. Before Xia Yu could find it, the voice of a wry smile in the Huasheng Age changed: "Mr. Xia, this is not Gu Kaizhi¡¯s authentic work. There is no Gu Kaizhi¡¯s authentic work in the world. It has been more than 1,500 years since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not to mention the past dynasties. Whether the emperor will collect it and leave it to the people, it may not be preserved in its entirety." "Yes!" When Xia Yu was a little disappointed, Hua Shengshi''s next words made Xia Yu happy again. "However, although this painting is not Gu Kaizhi''s authentic painting, it should be the closest to the original painting because he copied it by Zhou Fang, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty!" "Zhou Fang in the Tang Dynasty was a very representative painter, good at painting pictures of ladies." "Look here, there is Zhou Fang''s seal. Not only that, there are also a series of seals of celebrities after the Tang Dynasty to prove the authenticity of this painting." Xia Yu came to Hua Shengshi and looked at the seal he was pointing at. It was exactly the same as Hua Shengshi said. Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Sure enough, there is still Tang Yin''s chapter! His chapter is even more legendary!" "Yes!" Hua Shengshi said with a smile. "The other chapters are also the seals of almost every dynasty celebrity." When he found this painting in the box, he trembled with excitement for a long time. Although this painting is not Gu Kaizhi¡¯s original work, it is a copy of the famous painter Zhou Fang and a series of celebrity works. The value of the seal has fallen short of the original. It is definitely a national treasure among the national treasures! After Xia Yu and I.M. Pei had been appreciating them for a long time, he became more and more looking forward to it. The first collection is such a top-notch, and it will not be so bad that it can be put together with this painting. Thinking of this, he couldn''t help looking at the other glass cabinets. Hua Shengshi said to Xia Yu at the right time: "Mr. Xia, look here next." "These are ancient books?" Following Hua Shengshi to another large glass cabinet, Xia Yu frowned as he looked at the individually placed objects in the glass cabinet. Ancient books circulating in China are not uncommon, but since it can be taken out by Hua Shengshi alone and put together with Zhou Fang''s copy of Luo Shen Fu Tu, it is definitely not easy. At this time, Hua Shengshi''s words rang out to help Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, this is not an ordinary ancient book, but a copy of the Ming Dynasty "Yongle Dadian", a total of 122 volumes!" ""Yongle Dadian"?" Xia Yu stared slightly, staring at the ancient books in the glass cabinet in amazement. Even Pei, who has lived in the United States for a long time, has heard of the reputation of "Yongle Dadian". He was shocked and said: ""Yongle Dadian" is the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world. I saw it at the Library of Congress. There are only forty volumes, and I heard that there are only a few hundred volumes in the world, but I didn¡¯t expect that there are one hundred and twenty-two volumes here!" "If the news is released, it will definitely shock the world!" Xia Yu nodded in agreement, his expression a little solemn: "Indeed, if it is announced, it will definitely shock the world!" In his previous life, he visited the Forbidden City Museum and saw "Yongle Dadian", especially after seeing the introduction of "Yongle Dadian", he was quite indignant at that time. Because "Yongle Dadian" can be said to be a collection of Chinese history and culture. It was compiled by the great Emperor Yongle in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty. It has 22,877 volumes of main text, 60 volumes of catalogue, and 11095 volumes. The total number of words is about With 370 million words, the book preserves the secret books of China from the pre-Qin period to the Song and Yuan dynasties. There are more than 8,000 various classics and materials from the beginning to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. It is the largest encyclopedia in ancient China. It''s just that after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the original copy is missing. It''s a pity that the copy of "Yongle Dadian" has a long history, with more than 10,000 copies and only a few hundred copies remaining. In later generations, the National Palace Museum has the largest stock, with only 162 volumes, followed by the National Palace Museum of Taiwan with 60 volumes, and then museums in Britain, Germany, the United States, and island countries have some collections. At this time, the Forbidden City Museum probably hasn''t collected so many, maybe he has the most here. If it is taken out, it will shock the world, at least the cultural world of the mainland will definitely explode. Xia Yu took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent mood, and asked Hua Shengshi: "Old Hua, where did these copies of "Yongle Dadian" come from?" Hua Shengshi looked far away and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, these are all excavated from the cultural relics of the Eskenazi family. Before, they were all packed together in a box, and there were more than 1,000 ancient books alone. At that time, because time was too late, I just counted the boxes and pulled them back. I only knew that it was a box of ancient books. I didn''t find a copy of "Yongle Dadian". I only found out when I checked them one by one." Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile: "More than fifty million pounds are worth it!" Hua Shengshi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it''s worth it!" After feeling, Xia Yu looked at other cultural relics under the leadership of Hua Shengshi. Among them is a bronze tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than 80 volumes of Buddhist scriptures from the Jin Dynasty and Tang Sancai, etc. After reading it, Xia Yu found that in addition to the two ancient books, there seemed to be one each for painting, bronze, calligraphy, pottery and porcelain. "Mr. Xia, I think everything here has great value, and it can cause a sensation when you take it out. Which one do you think is better?" Hearing the question of Huashengshi, Xia Yu''s eyes wandered around, and finally fixed on the booklet of "Yongle Dadian", and said: "Just "Yongle Dadian", other cultural relics are not suitable, and it is easy to increase the price of cultural relics. On the contrary, "Yongle Dadian" is the most suitable for auction!" Hua Shengshi thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said: "It makes sense. The known "Yongle Dadian" is collected by museums from all over the world. It is almost impossible to have market circulation, and it is an isolated copy, even if the price increases. Priceless, and the ancient book market is also the most chaotic and difficult to distinguish. There are too many modern ancient books of no value. Foreigners do not understand Chinese culture and it is difficult to distinguish them." "Moreover, there are one hundred and twenty-two volumes here. The quantity is large enough to sell at a higher price. In fact, the price of a single volume will not be much higher." "If we take calligraphy and painting porcelain to auction and sell it at a sky-high price, it will be difficult for us to reclaim cultural relics at a low price later, which is inconsistent with our strategy of acquiring cultural relics at low prices." Hearing the dialogue between Hua Shengshi and Xia Yu, Pei suddenly said apologetically: "I''m really sorry, I didn''t expect my suggestion to have such consequences. Fortunately, you have considered it, otherwise I would be ashamed. You guys!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Bei, you don''t have to be like this. Your starting point is good, not to mention that it didn''t cause bad effects." Hua Shengshi also agreed and comforted: "Yes, Mr. Bei, you don''t have to think too much." Hearing the continuous comfort of the two, Pei felt much better. In order to avoid Pei''s continued embarrassment, Hua Shengshi skipped this topic and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, there is one more thing to pay attention to. If "Yongle Dadian" is sold for auction, I am worried that people will come from the mainland. , There will be greater pressure on you." "Moreover, there will be many people from other countries coming to bid, will the variables be very big then?" Xia Yu smiled calmly and said: "Don''t worry, I''ll see you when the time comes. I will take care of everything, and no problems will arise. You have worked so hard during this period of time. I will arrange the Kowloon Cultural Museum as soon as possible. I will let it tomorrow. The security team is stationed and I will let them listen to your arrangements!" "Okay!" Hua Shengshi put his heart down and responded Since it has come to the treasure house, and there is still some time, it doesn''t make sense to return. Under the leadership of Hua Shengshi, Xia Yu, Pei I.M. and others watched many cultural relics. Before the cultural relics full of historical charm, Xia Yu received some spiritual baptisms. Before leaving, the touched Xia Yu was even more convinced that his decision to collect the cultural relics was extremely correct, and promised Hua Sheng Shi to unconditionally support him in collecting cultural relics, making Hua Sheng Shi happy from ear to ear.

This general manager was specially promoted in Xiangjiang after he acquired Sotheby¡¯s Auction House. He managed the auction house very well. Not bad. After telling the matter to Ren Decheng, Xia Yu left. He believed that this rare opportunity Ren Decheng would not miss easily. As for the results, it will be clear when the spring auction takes place more than 20 days later! Wait patiently... After returning to Jiuding Building, Xia Yu continued to make detailed plans based on his career in Hong Kong, while focusing part of the Hong Kong government. When he learned that MacLehose had taken a group of people to visit the New Territories, Xia Yu knew that his plan had made breakthrough progress. The thinking point of the Hong Kong government''s decision-makers has moved from whether or not to agree to the step of considering implementation. At this time, related news had already leaked out, making interested people ready to move. However, at this time, Jiuding''s newspapers and media did not mention this kind of news, and Yan Wenhan also obeyed Xia Yu''s orders to confuse other public opinion hotspots. Xia Yu did not allow interested people to use public opinion to pressure the Hong Kong government to undermine his plan. As for the official level, because Xia Yu started early, even if the interested people want to exert influence through political contacts, the first thing they face is the siege of those who have already stood in line. ... At noon that day, Xia Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea, looking at the development reports and plans of Jiuding Transportation Group and Hutchison Whampoa Company, and combining his own "one core, six pillars" in the "trade and logistics industry" The plan is conceived. At this moment, the mother sitting next to him let out an exclamation: "My God, it''s so scary. There was such a big accident. There is also a five-year-old child, so pitiful!" "Yeah, I didn''t expect another accident. People in a car, dozens of families! Three people died on the spot, it''s too miserable!" Father Xia also said with emotion. Where is Xia Yu still thinking about reading documents and looking up at the TV. The TV screen happened to be a photo. The photo shows a bus that has tipped over at the foot of a mountain. The bus has been deformed, and many people on the ground are curling up and crying. Someone was crying bitterly holding the wounded man covered in blood. Xia Yu frowned slightly, a trace of unbearable flashes in his eyes, and kept watching. It turned out that at around 9 o¡¯clock this morning, a Tanner F double-decker bus D586 with AR7521 on Route 84 from Sui Wo Court to Fo Tan lost control when it went down a **** near Fengli Industrial Centre on Sui Wo Road and the bus crashed. After hitting the road, the whole car rolled down the **** and rolled to the bottom of the slope. The whole car had 37 passengers and a driver, a total of 38 people, including the driver, three died on the spot and 35 people were injured. Eight of them were seriously injured and dying in the ICU. It is estimated that there will be some unlucky individuals. (true story) At this time, Father Xia said with emotion: "The Kowloon Bus has been having accidents over the past few years. I remember that there was an accident four years ago. The bus crashed into the vegetable market. It seemed that six people were killed and dozens of people were injured. personal." Xia Mu accused: "Don''t say that four years ago, three months ago, it was on Nathan Road in Kowloon. It wasn''t a bus that went out of control and overturned. One died on the spot, and more than fifty people were injured. It was reported on TV. Up." "I remember that the reporter also interviewed the manager of Kowloon Motor Bus and promised to make rectifications and strengthen management. I think it was a lie to the people and not take their lives seriously!" "It''s only been more than three months, and there has been such a big accident, dozens of families, it''s too miserable, hey..." Father Xia said: "I remember that Zhonghua Bus rarely has accidents. When the Kowloon Bus had an accident last year, I also read the major accident history records of the two buses in the newspaper. The number of accidents by China Bus was particularly small. " "I think it is a management problem. It is impossible for China Bus to do it. Kowloon Bus cannot do it. Don''t take human lives seriously!" "If these victims buy insurance, the insurance company will be unlucky. If they don''t buy it, Kowloon Bus will have to pay for it, but I want to say that I deserve it, and I wish to lose them, otherwise I don''t know the long memory!" Xia Yu looked at her angry parents in amazement. He didn''t expect their parents to speak at such a high level. It seems that their lives have changed a lot in the past few years. Now let the parents go back to the small fishing village, who would think they are fishermen at a glance? Feeling his son''s gaze, Father Xia turned his face to look at his son Xia Yu. He thought for a while and said earnestly: "A Yu, your career is much larger than that of the Kowloon Bus, and hundreds of thousands of people are doing things for you. You have to be cautious, but you must not have an accident like the Kowloon Bus. An accident can ruin a family. You can''t be scolded by someone poking your backbone!" A hint of worry flashed in Xia''s eyes, and she warned with concern: "Yes, A Yu, you must pay attention and manage the company well..." Xia Yu smiled and said: "Parents, don''t worry, your son is not such a person. Go out and inquire about the employees of my company, which treatment would be bad?" "The entire Xiangjiang, all employees of my company have bought insurance!" "You guys, don''t worry too much!" Father Xia nodded and said, "That''s good!" "Parents, you almost rest after watching, I''ll go up first." Next, after Xia Yu finished reading this piece of news, he told his parents and took Li Qian upstairs. "Well, I''ll watch your mom for a while, you should rest first, you have to go to the company in the afternoon!" ... After getting up in the afternoon, Xia Yu did not go to Jiuding Building, but ordered the driver to drive to Jiuding Securities Company. "Wang Qi, do you know about the Kowloon Bus?" As soon as they met, Xia Yu asked. Wang Qi was taken aback, and then nodded and said: "I knew about this in the morning. I heard that the first reporter from Jiuding Newspaper Co., Ltd. came to the scene. I have communicated with Yan Wenhan before. All the major news that happened in Xiangjiang Before reporting, we will know that there is a dedicated person on my side to connect." "After knowing the news in the morning, the people below immediately reported it to me. It happened that we had invested in some Kowloon Bus stocks before. Before other institutions reacted, I had sold all the stocks and went short. One stroke." Xia Yu smiled and praised: "Quick response, good job!" Wang Qi smiled modestly, and then asked: "Chairman, do you want to take you to see the operation?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "Well, coming over now is related to the Kowloon Bus, but I''ll talk about it later, let me see the situation first." "please follow me!" With that said, Wang Qi and Xia Yu went to the trading room together. In the busy trader''s room, Wang Qi took Xia Yu to a corner, pointed to two operation panels and two traders and said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, because the operation is not big, so two people are arranged to be responsible. action." Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked a trader: "What''s the specific situation?" The employee immediately replied: "Back to the chairman, the opening price of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company''s shares this morning was 4.56 Hong Kong dollars. We originally held 3.45 million shares, accounting for 3.7% of the total share capital. Fifth, after the sell-off, the funds returned were 150.7 million Hong Kong dollars, and the average transaction price was 4.37 Hong Kong dollars!" "Now that the stock price has fallen to 4.01 Hong Kong dollars, we shorted 2,200 lots, and now the floating profit has reached 540,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Xia Yu calculated the relevant amount after a while. Because Wang Qi reacted in a timely manner, he sold the shares he originally held. According to the current stock price, it was equivalent to avoiding a loss of nearly 1.9 million Hong Kong dollars. Then it backhanded short, and the floating profit reached HK$540,000, which is equivalent to creating a value of 2.44 million! What is obviously predictable is that the Kowloon Motor Bus is not known to all in Hong Kong. It will continue to ferment, the stock price will continue to fall, and Jiuding Securities will make more profits. Although tens of millions of dollars are no longer in his eyes, but think about three hundred and sixty-five days a year, if Jiuding Securities can seize hundreds of such opportunities, then avoid The losses and benefits gained are several hundred million, which is considerable. Isn¡¯t the Great Wall built up with bricks? "Do it hard!" Xia Yu encouraged him by tapping the shoulder of the fearful trader. The trader suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: "Thank you for the chairman''s encouragement, I will continue to work hard!" "Ok!" Xia Yu responded softly, patted the envious trader next to him on the shoulder, and then greeted Wang Qi to leave the trader''s room. After coming out, Xia Yu told Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, go and let someone call out the relevant information of the Kowloon Bus. I will wait for you in the office!" "Ok!" Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 951: Hunting 2 bus companies Just as Xia Yu was drinking tea, Wang Qi walked in with a folder, and said immediately: "Chairman, I have brought the information of Kowloon Bus and China Bus. Xiangjiang is the two bus companies. Bring it over, maybe you can use it." "Well, just bring it over, let''s watch it together later." Xia Yu said with a smile, and then took the folder. After opening it, the cover that greeted the eyes read the words "Kowloon Bus Co., Ltd.". He took out the document, and the other document with "China Motors Co., Ltd." on the cover was temporarily left in the box. Opening the cover, Xia Yu looked at it quietly. Hong Kong¡¯s bus service industry also has franchise rights. The Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., founded in 1933, owns the franchise rights for the bus industry in Kowloon and the New Territories. At the beginning of its establishment, it was established by Tang Shiu Kin, Lei Rui De, Lei Liang , Tan Huantang, Lin Mingxun and others jointly funded the establishment. After more than 40 years of development, the Kowloon Motor Bus Company Limited now has more than 1,700 buses. Before the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd.''s profit was considerable and stable, the shareholders'' year-end dividends were very good, which was very popular with investors, so in 1972 the market value reached 200 million Hong Kong dollars. However, in 1975, considering the influence of the bus industry on people''s livelihood, the Hong Kong government ordered the implementation of profit control, limiting the annual rate of return to no more than 16%, and the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. lost the right to increase prices. As a result, the profits of the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. plummeted and shareholder dividends decreased. Since then, the stock price of the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. has fallen into a weak state. Faced with this situation, the founders Tan Jia and Lin Jia successively reduced their stock holdings, and also wanted to exit the bus industry and use funds to invest in more promising industries. Today, nine years later, the market value of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company Limited is only about 420 million Hong Kong dollars. No, considering that the share price of Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. plummeted today, the market value has now fallen below 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. is also a company that has been established for more than 40 years. It stands to reason that there will be no shortage of hard assets. In particular, the bus company occupies a lot of land, and its assets will definitely not be only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars. But in fact, it was in 1961 that the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. was split up. The bus business still belonged to the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., while the original real estate construction business was spun off and became the Kowloon Construction Industry Co., Ltd. After the split, the Kowloon Development Co., Ltd. is mainly dominated by the original shareholders of the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. Lei Jia and Wu Jia. However, despite being split, the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. still has a lot of land, which is being developed and used by the Lei Jia, the helm of Kowloon Jianye and the largest shareholder of the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., and the public is losing money. Investors. Currently, the shareholder structure of Kowloon Motor Bus Company Limited is: Lei Jia, the largest shareholder, holds 20.33% of the shares. The founder and current chairman of the board of directors Deng Zhao insisted that the shares are 9.75%. The Yu family, who later invested in, held 9.64% of the shares. The fourth largest shareholder and founder family Wu Jia holds 9.45% of the shares. The fifth largest shareholder and founder Tan Jia holds 8.48% of the shares. The sixth largest shareholder and founder Lin Jia holds 7.46% of the shares. In addition, 34.84% of the equity is in circulation, distributed in the hands of financial institutions and individual investors who have not entered the board of directors. Unless financial institutions and individuals actively disclose it, as long as the five percent line is not reached, no one knows who is in the hands. Just like Jiuding Securities Co., it has bought 3.75% of the equity in succession before, totaling 3.45 million shares. Jiuding Securities Company does not need to disclose shareholding information at all, but considering that it will buy and sell in the future, it is convenient for buyers to come to the door, so it actively discloses shareholding information. As long as other financial institutions simply invest and do not conduct hostile takeovers, they will basically disclose their shareholding information. After all, they are buying equity to make money. If you don''t show it, you can sell it! After reading the information of Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., Xia Yu took out the documents of China Motor Corporation and looked at it. China Motor Co., Ltd. was established earlier, in 1924. At first, it operated bus services in the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. Later, after the British Hong Kong government implemented the bus franchise in 1933, it obtained bus services to the more prosperous Hong Kong Island. Franchise. It¡¯s a pity that just after MacLehose went north last year, the question of the future of Hong Kong has been exposed. The Hong Kong government announced the construction of the Hong Kong Island Line of the subway. These two unclear factors let the founder of China Motor Co., Ltd. control it. The Yan family and the Huang family have no idea, and they have become conservative in the management of the company. One incident last year was very representative. Originally, there was a batch of buses that needed to be exchanged and purchased last year. The Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. began to discount it. Originally, it had to purchase 50 vehicles, but only 32 vehicles were purchased. In addition, the Yan family and the Huang family have begun to reduce their holdings of cash stocks. Investment institutions with a keen sense of smell have begun to vote with their feet. Up to now, the market value of China Motor Co., Ltd. is only about half of that of Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., at 230 million Hong Kong dollars. In terms of shareholder structure, China Motor Co., Ltd., which was established earlier, is not as fragmented as the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., which was established later. The founder Yan Jia holds 24.74% and the founder Huang Jia holds 100%. Twenty-two point one two. In addition, there are some small shareholders holding some equity, and the rest are scattered in the hands of financial institutions and retail investors. So in general, the acquisition of China Motor Co., Ltd. is less difficult! After closing the information, Xia Yu was already aware of the situation of Xiangjiang''s bus industry. After thinking about it for a moment, he looked at Wang Qi and said: "Wang Qi, give you a task to acquire the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd., a puzzle piece is needed in the grand strategy!" "Now this opportunity is rare." Wang Qi was not surprised. He knew that Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. would be the acquisition target when Xia Yu first arrived. As for the reason for the acquisition, Xia Yu did not say, but after the strategic meeting of the consortium, he was able to guess something. In the strategy of "One Core, Six Pillars", the trade and logistics industry and the tourism service industry all need the support of the bus business, especially the tourism service industry. Convenient transportation can drive the much-needed passenger flow of tourism and retail business. In addition, there should be calculations for the real estate industry. After all, the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. has a lot of land, and it is better to get it and not develop it than to be bought and used for development. Moreover, transportation is an important factor affecting the real estate industry. With convenient transportation, houses on a transportation line will sell well, and the original low land prices will rise. If you think about it the other way round, as long as the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. is in hand, you can vigorously open up new transportation lines, and the importance of urban houses will lose the huge advantage of convenient transportation. Originally, it takes one or two hours from the suburbs to the urban area. After the bus line is opened, it can pass through at any time. The time is reduced to ten to twenty minutes. For many residents, the difference between the suburbs and the urban area is not much. The big deal is to spend more. Ten or twenty minutes, why bother to buy a house in the city? "Chairman, to what extent does it need to acquire Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd.? Should it be privatized?" Wang Qi thought for a while and asked Xia Yu. Xia Yu thought for a moment, and said: "There is no need for a wholly-owned acquisition and delisting. It is not cost-effective to invest in Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. What I need is its function. I only need to acquire 67% of the shares and have absolute control over the board of directors and shareholders meeting. That''s it." "After the acquisition, Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. will belong to Jiuding Transportation Group, and Jiuding Securities will be the second largest shareholder. Don''t let Jiuding Transportation Group exceed the line." "What about the chairman, China Motor Co., Ltd.? Does it need to be acquired?" Wang Qi then asked again. Xia Yu said immediately: "Of course it will be acquired, but don''t worry, you can gnaw the harder bone of Kowloon Bus Co., Ltd. first. The Yan family and the Huang family want to withdraw their capital and leave Xiangjiang. The acquisition will not be too difficult." "However, this major traffic accident of the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. will also affect the stock price of China Motor Co., Ltd. When the time comes, you will arrange for secret hunting in the stock market." Wang Qi nodded understandingly and said: "I understand, I will call a group of people to a meeting later, and try to come up with an operation plan today." "By the way, Chairman, this action needs the assistance of Jiuding Newspaper Company and Universal Television." Xia Yu said nonchalantly: "You should communicate with you on specific operational matters. Anyway, don''t be sloppy, hurry!" "understand!" Wang Qi replied with a straight face. After Xia Yu left, Wang Qi immediately summoned his staff to form a temporary special action team and got busy. Early the next morning, major newspapers under Jiuding News reported on the major traffic accidents that occurred yesterday. Not to mention Global TV. Last night¡¯s "News 30 Minutes" and this morning''s "Chao Wen Tianxia" both focused on reporting this news and sorted out a series of bus related events in Xiangjiang in the past. Traffic accident. It can be said that as long as the audience sees the news, they are all shocked. Because the impact of this incident was too great, other newspapers, radio stations, and TVB focused on reporting and following up on relevant developments. In just one day, this incident became the biggest hot news in Hong Kong. The Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. was carried to the fire. Deng Zhaojian and other company executives were very busy. The severe inquiries from the Hong Kong government, the blocked media outside the company, the plummeting stock price, the turbulent feelings of the company, the accusations and abuses from the masses, etc., are like huge rocks after smashing them into confusion. The muddy water is so hidden! No one in Lei Juekun and others had noticed that Wang Qi and others were helping behind. The share price of China Motor Co., Ltd. also fell below 1.3 Hong Kong dollars, and the company''s market value fell below 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 952: Intrigue negotiation Under the influence of human manipulation factors, the bus accident and the subsequent series of developments have been in a state of public opinion boiling. In addition, newspapers such as "Jiuding Daily", "Hong Kong Economic Journal" and "Sheng Pao" are further analyzing the responsibilities and obligations of Kowloon Motor Bus Company Limited in terms of public safety. This is simply grilling the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. on the fire, turning the knife back and forth and sprinkling the chili noodles with oil. Only three days! The market value of Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. plummeted from HK$420 million at the beginning to more than HK$310 million. The market value has shrunk by as much as 26%! Although in terms of the price-earnings ratio and real profit prospects, the market value of more than 310 million Hong Kong dollars may not necessarily reflect the true value of Kowloon Motor Bus Company Limited. But in this deep vortex of public opinion, many unreasonable things will become reasonable. Unless there is a large organization willing to support the Kowloon Motor Bus Company Limited. However, in the face of the general trend and the focus of public anger, not all institutions have the strength and qualifications to underpin, let alone this sensitive time. Just when the executives of the Kowloon Motor Bus Co., Ltd. were fortunate that the market was finally closed on Friday and planned to use the two days of the weekend to reverse the bad situation. Before leaving get off work, Yuan Tianfan, a key employee of Jiuding Securities, came to the office of the chairman of Jiuding Building. Looking at Yuan Tianfan sitting in front of him, Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with satisfaction. Although Yuan Tianfan is not very old, he exudes a calm and confident temperament, and his first impression is very comfortable. In addition to his temperament, his abilities are also good. Yuan Tianfan also worked at Jiuding Securities for a long time. Because of Wang Qi''s key training and Yuan Tianfan''s own enthusiasm, he made rapid progress and made considerable achievements. This time, in order to sharpen Yuan Tianfan''s other abilities, on Wang Qi''s suggestion, Xia Yu appointed Yuan Tianfan to be responsible for teaming up to acquire the stake in the Australian Entertainment Company in the hands of gambling king Yehan. "Tianfan, are things going well?" Xia Yu crossed his palms on the table and asked with a smile. Yuan Tianfan said slowly: "Chairman, things went smoothly before this. Ye Han was totally reluctant to talk about it from the beginning. Now that we have talked about the most critical step, we have reached the limit of what we can do." "Now Ye Han has made a request and wants to negotiate with you in person, otherwise he won''t see us again." Xia Yu raised his brows, but Ye Han still wanted to see him. However, it can be seen from Ye Han''s request that he is no longer in conflict with the sale of shares. The key is whether Xia Yu can convince him. Xia Yu thought for a while and asked Yuan Tianfan: "How did you negotiate with Ye Han?" Yuan Tianfan replied again: "We are implementing the strategy given by you. We have always been trying to acquire Australia Entertainment... It is because Ye Han has begun to believe that we really want to fight He Hongshen, so he is willing to follow Let''s talk." "It''s just that he isn''t stupid, so he doesn''t believe all of us now. He wants to talk to you face to face, he should want to confirm your attitude." "Furthermore, according to our analysis, Ye Han was actually worried that you had crossed Jianglong, and after fighting He Hongshen, he would overwhelm him. This is a kind of worry for him." Xia Yu smiled faintly, nodded slightly and said: "I know, you will meet him again tomorrow morning. He decides the place and I will talk to him personally." Yuan Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief, solemnly nodded and replied: "Okay, I will execute it later." "Go!" ... The next morning, Xia Yu took Yuan Tianfan and others, and saw Ye Han, who was already 75 years old, in a hotel box near Omen Port. Xia Yu met Ye Han for the first time. The first impression Ye Han gave him was that his ears were big and protruding. Ye Han''s dice tricks depended on his ears. "Mr. Ye, after hearing your name for a long time, I finally have the honor to see you today!" Xia Yu laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and walked towards Ye Han. Ye Han also smiled kindly, and greeted Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you are the most legendary boss. I can get to know you in the old days, and I will die without regret." Xia Yu hurriedly smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ye has a lot of blessings and longevity. Such an inauspicious word does not touch you." Ye Han shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Xia can really talk, please sit down!" "Sit together!" On Xia Yu''s side, Yuan Tianfan and others sat quietly around Xia Yu, sitting opposite Ye Han and his subordinates. After the waiter served tea, Xia Yu said straightforwardly: "Mr. Ye, let''s see it right away. Don''t bend around, just hit the skylight to speak up. Tianfan told me yesterday that you plan to talk to me personally. I wonder what you have. Point me?" Ye Han''s convergent smile, some muddy eyes became deep, and he said lightly: "I don''t dare to give pointers. It''s just that everyone is placed on an equal position and have a good discussion." "There is a saying that business is not righteous and righteous. No matter whether things happen or not, I hope Mr. Xia will not mind." Ye Han has a special understanding of Xia Yu''s past, so he is not willing to offend Xia Yu too much to be remembered by Xia Yu. After all, there are not a few people Xia Yu cleans up, and those who oppose Xia Yu do not end well. His old bones are far less powerful than Xia Yu. If Xia Yu is eyeing him, he feels that even if he does not die, he will peel off his skin. Therefore, it is better to get a vaccination in advance to avoid something that he does not want to see happen later. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said sincerely: "It should be the case. When discussing business, it is necessary for both parties to agree with me. Trading is a temporary matter, and friendship is a lifetime matter." Ye Han smiled and nodded: "Yes! Yes!" After laughing, Ye Han gave a light cough and asked solemnly: "Mr. Xia, Manager Yuan and they have also talked to me many times. I heard that you are planning to acquire the Australian Entertainment Company in an all-round way?" Although Ye Han''s tone was not rushed when he said this question, Xia Yu still knew his true state of mind from Ye Han''s sharp eyes from time to time. Without changing his face, Xia Yu said indifferently: "Yes, I am very interested in Australian Entertainment." Ye Han couldn''t say no, and continued to ask: "Your business has always been in Xiangjiang, and it has nothing to do with the gambling industry." "And the gambling industry is subject to social prejudice. With your net worth and influence, shouldn''t you cherish feathers? Why did you think of acquiring Australia Entertainment?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, staring at Ye Han''s scorching eyes, and said with a faint smile: "No one else knew about this, but I don''t think I would say it, and Mr. Ye would not worry about selling me the equity, then I Say it too." "But please also Mr. Ye, including your subordinates, to help me keep it secret!" Ye Han frowned slightly, looked at Xia Yu seriously, nodded and said: "Yes, I guarantee with my personality, no matter what happens today, the news will never pass from me!" "Otherwise, I will give you all my 10% of the shares of Australia Entertainment Company for free!" "You have to be tight-lipped!" After he finished speaking, his gaze swept across the faces of several subordinates beside him, and several subordinates immediately expressed their opinions. "Yes!" Ye Han''s subordinates immediately responded in unison. Ye Han only then returned to smile and said to Xia Yu, "Mr. Xia, please tell me more!" Xia Yu slowly said, "Mr. Ye should know that I have a good relationship with Mr. Huo Yingdong?" Hearing Huo Yingdong''s name, Ye Han felt angry. After all, if Huo Yingdong and He Hongshen had not cooperated, he would not have lost so badly. If Huo Ying''s Dongfang is him, then it is He Hongshen who is being swept out now! However, he also distinguished the occasion, suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes, did Mr. Xia get the equity in Huo Yingdong''s hands?" Xia Yu nodded and shook his head. When Ye Han frowned, he smiled and said, "I can''t say it''s done, it''s just related to him." "I was not interested in the Australian Entertainment Company at first, but Huo Yingdong didn''t want the shares of the Australian Entertainment Company anymore, so he casually mentioned that he planned to sell the shares of the Australian Entertainment Company. I bought it easily. Interested." "Furthermore, Huo Yingdong''s equity interests cannot be preserved. I would not be bullied so much. Instead of being overwhelmed by others, I prefer to hold everything in my own hands. Although there will be difficulties, it is not impossible. There was a look of shock on Ye Han''s face. He looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and quickly asked: "Mr. Xia, you mean Huo Yingdong has transferred all his equity to you?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes!" Ye Han took a deep breath and fell silent. The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly and looked at Yuan Tianfan. The latter immediately took out a copy from his bag and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu put it on the table and pushed it in front of Ye Han, and said when Ye Han was puzzled: " Mr. Ye, this is the equity transfer contract signed between me and Huo Yingdong. If you don¡¯t believe it, you may wish to take a look. I don¡¯t need to lie to you on this point. I don¡¯t need to! Ye Han immediately picked up the file and looked through it. When he saw the transfer price and the number of shares, he frowned, but he remained patient and read all the files. After reading it, he pushed the document back to Xia Yu, but said nothing about the transaction price, saying with emotion: "If it weren''t for this document, I can''t believe it is true." "However, Mr. Xia, congratulations!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Why do you have any congratulations? It''s not a time to relax after getting these shares. But I heard Huo Yingdong say that his 30% of the shares are only 1% of the annual dividend. ." "That''s why the equity is worthless, otherwise I can''t buy it at this price." "But since I bought it, I can''t lose any of the benefits I deserve. It''s a pity that He Hongshen is too overbearing. I''m not sure that He Hongshen will spit out the meat that I ate in my stomach. In that case, I might as well be safe. Get it yourself!" Xia Yu''s explanation is reasonable dispels one of Ye Han''s doubts. It''s just that he was not completely relieved, but coldly snorted: "Mr. Xia, He Hongshen is notoriously greedy and domineering. He is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. You are absolutely right to think so." "It''s just that He Hongshen, his sister He Wanqi, and brother-in-law Ye Deli hold 59% of the total shares. Even if I sell the shares to you, Australia Entertainment will still be in the He family''s world. How can you win He Hongshen?" With an inexplicable smile on his face, Xia Yu said, "Mr. Ye, what you said is too absolute. Throughout the ages, father and son and brothers have turned against each other. How can you be sure that He Hongshen¡¯s sister He Wanqi and Ye Deli Will he stay with He Hongshen from beginning to end?" "What''s more, He Hongshen, He Wanqi and Ye Deli seem to be one family, but they are actually Omen Ho, Xiangjiang He and Omen Ye Family!" "You are several times older than me. You should have a deeper understanding of the principle of the supremacy of interests than me, right?" Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 953: Have evil intentions towards our He familys property! Ye Deli frowned upon hearing Xia Yu''s words. Xia Yu smiled slightly and looked at him quietly. For a long time, Ye Han stretched his brows and said slowly, "Mr. Xia, although that''s what I said, but since ancient times, father and son have turned against each other, and brothers smashing the wall are only a few things. Even relatives with a lower relationship, the probability of turning their faces is not high. How can you be sure that Ye Deli and He Wanqi will betray He Hongshen?" "If you are not sure of doing this, then even if you take over my equity, it will be useless!" Xia Yu looked at Ye Han indifferently, and said lightly: "Mr. Ye, He Wanqi is the younger sister of He Hongshen. The difficulty may be a bit more difficult, but you should know more about Ye Deli''s personality than I do?" Ye Han Ningmei asked, "Mr. Xia, which aspect do you mean?" Xia Yu said indifferently: "In terms of private life, do you think he is the kind of person who will be restrained by He Hongshen?" Ye Han was silent for a long time, recalling what he knew about Ye Deli, and didn''t know how to answer Xia Yu, or he didn''t want to answer Xia Yu. But Xia Yu sneered and said: "Mr. Ye, you must know that Ye Deli was a **** before, and even though he is more than sixty years old, he is still old-fashioned." "Although he is Ho Hongshen''s brother-in-law, what do you think will be the relationship between Ye Deli and his wife? How many mistresses and illegitimate children will Ye Deli have outside?" "People with cool nature have too many weaknesses!" At this time, Ye Hancai said with a drink: "He Hongshen once said that he can''t compare with Ye Deli in terms of girlfriends. If he has a girlfriend, Ye Deli has one hundred." Xia Yuguo smiled and said, "Isn''t that, do you think Ye Deli will leave the equity to future generations or use the wealth on himself and let it go away in his lifetime?" Xia Yu has inquired about Ye Deli''s romantic history. It can be said that Ye Deli is a self-propelled gun in the world. He is rich and powerful, and loves to do absurd things, just to satisfy his own desires. The most absurd thing was that when Ye Deli was on vacation in Mexico, he invited fifty-two ex-girlfriends he knew around the world, their husbands, and children to celebrate his birthday together. Every guest received a generous gift. Xia Yu could imagine that the party was absolutely full of green grass. Ye Deli¡¯s fifty-two ex-girlfriends and their husbands and children are also embarrassed to come... "I''m sure to get 10% of the equity in Ye Deli''s hands, but how to do it... Haha!" Speaking of the last, Xia Yu said hehe, the meaning was so obvious that I couldn''t say it. Ye Han finally didn''t go to ask this topic wittily this time. "Mr. Ye, my sincerity has been shown, what is your attitude?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Ye Han with piercing eyes. As long as Ye Deli betrays He Hongshen, the two brothers and sisters He Hongshen and He Wanqi only have 49% of the equity, and the remaining 1% is in the hands of the new horse teacher Zeng Yongxiang. Even if he is taken by He Hongshen, it will be fifty-five to Xia Yu. If Xia Yu gets it, then Australia Entertainment will completely change the sky! Ye Han suddenly discovered that He Hongshen, who had swept himself out step by step, would actually end up in the same fate as himself, and his heart was suddenly mixed. After Ye Han was silent for a moment, he squeezed a smile and said, "Mr. Xia, I will ask the last question cheeky." "What''s your attitude towards the longtime gambling industry?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and heard Ye Han''s implication. He said without hesitation: "Mr. Ye, in my opinion, any industry needs competition. Only competition will be vigorous and be able to continuously improve. The same goes for the long-term gambling industry." "Although the gambling industry is very important to the economy of Longmen, this market is still too small compared to other markets. The future of Longmen should be the Oriental Monte Carlo and Las Vegas, and even surpass these two world-class Gambling city." "Although the Australian Entertainment Company has the franchise of the Longmen gaming industry, in my opinion, the franchise is only a protector for the weak. Sooner or later, in order to break the growth limit, Longmen will expand the gaming license to attract the outside world. Capital entry." "At that time, if the Australian Entertainment Company is not strong enough, it will still be besieged and killed by a group." "And the best defense is offense!" "Rather than lying on the merits of making money, it is better to forge ahead and develop outwards from now on, develop the Australian Entertainment Company to Las Vegas, to Monte Carlo, and fight against other world-class gambling giants in advance. Success or failure depends on fate!" "I look down on people who can only hide themselves!" "If there is competition, I welcome it very much. Just like the racing jockey club you are running now, as long as it is within the rules, despite the means, I will not only not play black hands, but will warmly welcome. Everyone will eat according to their ability! " "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied with my answer?" Ye Han immediately applauded and applauded: "Mr. Xia said it well. He deserves to be a tycoon who can do such a big career. He has a pattern that ordinary people don''t have." "He Hongshen''s situation is totally incomparable with you. If he has your attitude, I will be willing even if I lose." "I believe He Hongshen will eventually be defeated by you. I look forward to competing and cooperating with you!" Suddenly Ye Han gave such a face, and Xia Yu''s previous dissatisfaction faded slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, I don''t know about equity?" Ye Han nodded and said, "The equity can be sold to you, provided that the price is right." Xia Yu smiled, Mianli hid the needle and said, "Of course, I won''t make you suffer, but you don''t make me suffer." Immediately afterwards, the people brought by Xia Yu and the subordinates brought by Ye Han finally worked and began to negotiate. As for Xia Yu and Ye Han, they watched their subordinates perform. With their status, only when the final word is reached is the time for them to speak out. Ye Han is the acquired party, so it naturally takes the initiative, and it costs 250 million Hong Kong dollars to open his mouth. But who made Ye Han read the transaction contract between Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong! Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong traded 30% of the equity, which is only 360 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the 10% equity is 120 million Hong Kong dollars. This price is more than half lower than Ye Han''s offer. Seeing Yuan Tianfan and others relying on this to make his subordinates uncomfortable, Ye Han suddenly regretted seeing the transaction contract between Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong. Otherwise, the initiative will not become passive. In fact, not only his subordinates were affected, but he himself, after reading the transaction contract, the already thought-out bottom line continued to drop. In the end, Ye Han still compromised and sold 10% of the Australian Entertainment Company he held to Xia Yu at a price of 180 million Hong Kong dollars. The contract was modified on the spot and re-signed. After signing, Xia Yu and Ye Han went to a nearby branch of Jiuding Bank and transferred all the money to Ye Han''s Jiuding Bank account in person. It was at this time that Xia Yu knew that Ye Han was also a major customer of his Jiuding Bank. On the way back, Yuan Tianfan, who was in the same car with Xia Yu, turned around and asked, "Chairman, do I still need to acquire Ye Deli''s equity next?" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "No need, just stop here." Yuan Tianfan was taken aback, recalling what Xia Yu and Ye Han had just said, and then looked at the deep smile of Chairman Xia Yu, he realized that there were some inside stories he didn''t understand. He decisively and wittily stopped asking: "Okay!" Just in his heart, while he lamented the chairman''s ability to fool others, he was also thinking about summing up his own gains and shortcomings. ... In the afternoon, He Hongshen answered Xia Yu''s call with a smile at home. "Mr. Xia, although I am very surprised, I welcome you to join the Australian Entertainment Company... Okay, you''ll be busy first, and we will talk next time!" "boom!" After hanging up the phone, the smile on He Hongshen''s face instantly diminished, his expression gloomy and terrifying. As if unable to restrain the anger in his heart, He Hongshen slapped the table with a loud noise. "Wow¡­¡­" His daughter He Chaoyi, who was playing in the living room, was immediately reached and cried out. He Youguang, Lan Qiongying and others who were upstairs heard the noise and immediately went downstairs. They both had a bad feeling when they saw He Hongshen''s gloomy dripping face. Lan Qiongying quickly picked up the crying daughter, walked towards He Hongshen and asked while comforting. "Asheen, what''s the matter? Why is your face so ugly?" "Dad, what happened?" He Youguang asked with a concerned expression. He Hongshen did not answer immediately, but took a long breath, trying to calm the fluctuations in his heart. Upon seeing this, Lan Qiongying and He Youguang became more worried. They haven''t seen He Hongshen get such a big fire in many years. For a long time, realizing that his father seemed to look much better, He Youguang bit the bullet and asked cautiously: "Dad, did anyone call just now?" He Hongshen nodded slightly: "Hmm!" "Just now it was Xia Yu''s call. He told me that he had acquired 40% of the shares in Australia Entertainment!" "what?" "How could this be?" "What does he want to do?" Lan Qiongying''s reaction was greater than that of He Youguang. She asked three times in surprise, her brows full of sadness. He Youguang''s face is full of dignity and he also asked: "Dad, what does Xia Yu mean? Is it because he wants to buy our Australian entertainment company?" He Hongshen shook his head and said, "I don''t know what his real purpose is. He just told me on the phone that he acquired the equity of Huo Yingdong and Ye Han, but simply wanted to cooperate with us. To acquire the Australian Entertainment Company." "Who knows what he said is true or false!" "But from now on, he has surpassed our family and is the largest shareholder of Australia Entertainment!" He Youguang frowned and quickly analyzed in his heart. On the contrary, Lan Qiongying didn¡¯t think deeply. She was confused and immediately said angrily: ¡°Ashyn, I¡¯ll call my daughter and ask her to ask what Xia Yu really means. We¡¯re good enough for Xia Yu. , And did not prevent him from interacting with Chao Qiong, what on earth did he want to do!" "Then Xia Yu really likes Chaoqiong, or does he have a bad heart for our He family''s property!" Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 954: Gambler He You''s mouth squirmed. Although he had a good sense of Xia Yu and was happy to see Xia Yu becoming his brother-in-law, he also knew that Xia Yu was very aggressive and aggressive. He is the first heir of the He family. In front of personal emotions and family, he must still be on the side of the family, not to mention his own interests are involved! However, over the years, he has been paying attention to and studying Xia Yu. Using Xia Yu as an example to learn from, he has changed a lot and his xinxing has been greatly improved. He suddenly knew such a big thing, although he was not surprised, he could barely maintain Stay calm. He said and analyzed: "Dad, even if Xia Yu acquired Huo Yingdong and Ye Han''s equity and surpassed our family, we still have aunts and uncles who are on the same front with us. He still owns 59% of the equity, and Xia Yu¡¯s threat does not seem to be great for the time being. "Unless Xia Yu can acquire the equity of either aunt or uncle!" "My aunt and uncle should not be biased towards outsiders in principle!" Lan Qiongying still said anxiously: "Wanqi is your father''s sister after all, so you can rest assured, I''m afraid..." Before Lan Qiongying said this, he was interrupted by He Hongshen''s scolding. "Aying, stop talking!" Lan Qiongying closed her mouth in a daze. When she saw He Hongshen''s erratic gaze, she knew that He Hongshen was already considering this. Seeing that his aunt Nyonya was unhappy with his father, He Youguang didn''t intend to get rid of bad luck in this regard, and waited quietly for his father to finish thinking. After a long time, He Hongshen said, "I will deal with this matter, A Ying, you take your daughter up first." Lan Qiongying nodded silently, carrying her fourth daughter Chaoyi upstairs with a trace of regret, but thinking of the four-year-old son who was sleeping upstairs, she couldn''t help but worry a little about his future. After Lan Qiongying disappeared at the corner of the stairs, He Youguang hurriedly asked, "Dad, what do you plan to do with this matter?" He Hongshen''s eyes became deep and distant, and he said lightly: "This matter must be planned with two hands." "I''m not sure about Xia Yu''s true thoughts now. If he just wants to invest in the Australian Entertainment Company, that''s okay, because he is afraid that he will be secretly behind the plank road." "But there are hidden dangers on your uncle''s side." As for the equity of sister He Wanqi, He Hongshen is not worried at all. Even if He Wanqi wanted to betray him, his cousin He Hongzhang would never agree, unless the two of them wanted to have an illegitimate child completely exposed. He Youguang thought for a while and said to He Hongshen, "Dad, our family and my aunt have 49% equity. As long as we can acquire 2% of my uncle''s equity, then it is very safe." "I think we can''t hope that Xia Yu won''t have evil intentions. After all, he is an outsider. Who knows if his mind will change later." "And if he sells his equity to others in the future, there will be other risks." "By the way, dad, whether or not the equity of the new horse teacher Zeng Deng Yongxiang should be bought back, sometimes 1% of the equity will become particularly important." He Hongshen nodded slightly and said, "Go to your uncle first, as long as your uncle agrees to change hands even two points of equity, Xia Yu will not be able to make a big wave!" ... After the two talks between He Hongshen and his son, He Hongshen called to find Ye Deli, but learned that Ye Deli had already travelled to Europe. Because the matter was very important, He Hongshen had to inquire the number of Ye Deli''s entry into the hotel and contacted Ye Deli so that he could end the trip and return to Omen as soon as possible. The next day, He Hongshen went to Xiangjiang, first went to his Xinde company, and then asked Xia Yu out at noon. Near noon, Xia Yu came to the agreed hotel and met He Hongshen and He Youguang and his son. After a short greeting, Xia Yu sat down, and He Hongshen asked the hotel to arrange food. During the restaurant serving time, He Hongshen said meaningfully: "Mr. Xia, you really gave me a surprise yesterday. Huo Yingdong is not interested in Australia Entertainment, and I am not surprised that I will sell the equity to you." "But I didn''t expect you to be able to fix the stone in Ye Han''s pit. You should have spent a lot of effort?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "I didn''t waste much effort, that is, the subordinates spent some thought. I just met Ye Han and he bought me the equity." He Hongshen pretended to be surprised and asked, "He can speak so easily? Didn''t he ask for anything?" Xia Yu said with a smile: "No, he thought I bought his shares to **** the Australian Entertainment Company from you, and hoped that I would fight you and find him a place for him, but he thought too much." He Hongshen''s eyes were tight, and he seized on the topic and said, "He thinks you will grab the Australian Entertainment Company with me? That''s interesting!" With that, He Hongshen looked at Xia Yu''s face with scorching eyes, as if he wanted to see something. Xia Yu didn''t change his face, smiled and said, "Who knows why he thinks that way. Fortunately, he doesn''t know the relationship between me and Chao Qiong, otherwise he would never sell me the equity." "As for why I thought about acquiring his equity, I actually heard that Ye Han and Mr. He were not going to deal with you. Rather than letting him stay in the Australian Entertainment Company to hinder your eyes, I should help you solve this problem." "Mr. Ho, you are not worried that I really want to **** the Australian entertainment company?" Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s last surprised question, He Youguang¡¯s expression on the side of He Hongshen was a little unnatural, while He Hongshen was not affected at all. He smiled and said, ¡°How come I¡¯ve invited you over today, just simply welcome you to join the Australian Entertainment Company. , I also want to hear your opinions and suggestions on the Australian Entertainment Company." Xia Yu said with a smile: "So, I don''t think you, Mr. He, would have this kind of worry." "Based on my relationship with Chao Qiong, I won''t think about robbing the Australian Entertainment Company unless I get my brain pumped." "What''s more, I can''t get it at all!" A smile appeared on He Hongshen''s face unknowingly and said: "Mr. Xia is too worried, I don''t mean that." "You really did me a favor. Ye Han relied on having some equity and caused me a lot of trouble. He completely ignored the interests of the Australian Entertainment Company and was not worthy of being a shareholder." "Now that he is gone, I will feel comfortable in the future, haha..." After laughing, He Hongshen asked calmly: "By the way, Mr. Xia, do you have any plans for the operation of the Australian Entertainment Company?" In the face of He Hongshen¡¯s temptation, Xia Yu said sincerely: ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the gambling industry. How dare you make a fool of yourself? Australia Entertainment has developed very well under your management, Mr. He.¡± "I will definitely support your decision in the future. I believe that without the constraints of others, the Australian Entertainment Company will develop better and better, and play a more important role in the construction of Longmen." "As for me, how can I not be satisfied to be able to lie down and make money?" "I''ll just send a representative and finance according to the normal company rules. At most, it''s a formality. Is it possible that Mr. He can lose my dividend?" He Hongshen could have heard it at first, but Xia Yu''s last words made him replied. His face stiffened for a moment, and he glanced at Xia Yu, secretly cursing Huo Yingdong and Ye Han for pouring dirty water on him. At the same time, he said with a smile on his face: "How could there be less? Shareholder dividends are normal, and Mr. Xia, you also have financial personnel. How can I cheat?" Thinking that annual dividends can no longer be used in the future, He Hongshen''s heart is dripping blood. At this moment, he looked at Xia Yu and felt a little unpleasant. Xia Yu can also guess He Hongshen''s general psychological state, but he doesn''t care. Anyway, for people like He Hongshen, unless he is willing to hand over the equity to He Hongshen, whatever he does will make He Hongshen uncomfortable. He considered it before he came. Anyway, he reached into Ho Hongshen''s Australian Entertainment Company and succeeded. The rest are minor problems. As time goes by, as long as he does not intervene in the company''s operations to make He Hongshen vigilant, He Hongshen will always relax his mind, otherwise he will be tense for a long time, and it is difficult to say whether He Hongshen can live a long life. It is precisely because of this that although he has a later generation pattern, he thinks that he has a lot of business ambitions in the gambling industry, but he didn¡¯t show it out, saying that he didn¡¯t understand the gambling industry, just didn¡¯t want to show interest in the operation of the Australian entertainment company. This made He Hongshen vigilant. Anyway, the profits of the Australian Entertainment Company are just like that for him. The only thing that the Australian Entertainment Company can make him admire is its influence on Omen. Although Xia Yu had already clarified his attitude, He Hongshen was still not completely relieved. During the next cup change, he tentatively asked Xia Yu questions from time to time. Xia Yu pretended not to hear it every time and said what made He Hongshen relax. Reply. In general, Xia Yu achieved his goal during this meeting, and Huo Yingdong''s concern about He Hongshen''s black dividend distribution, Xia Yu has easily resolved. As for whether He Hongshen dared to vacate the financial staff he sent, Xia Yu was not worried. He had already talked about it. Unless He Hongshen wanted to turn his face with him, and didn''t want to cooperate with him in the future, he could only pinch his nose. After watching Xia Yu''s car leave, He Hongshen and his son returned to Xinde Company. "Youguang, what do you think of Xia Yu''s performance at noon today?" He Hongshen took a sip of tea and asked. After finishing his thoughts, He Youguang said: "I think although the audience seemed to be giving us face, he actually succeeded in key places. We can''t get angry yet. His chat skills are very high." He Hongshen nodded and said, "You have reached the point. This time you have truly realized how good he is. We are ready, but he still succeeded unknowingly." "But things have happened, and the time to come is still long. We can''t care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool." "I will let you show up for many things in the future. You have to learn to be as shameless as him, and find the lost benefits this time from other aspects." He Youguang nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will continue to work hard and strive to grow up as soon as possible to share with you." He Hongshen smiled with satisfaction: "Well, there is another important cooperation at 3:30 this afternoon, you go with me." "Ok." ... Two days later, Ye Deli rushed back to Omen. After Ye Deli came back, He Hongshen immediately found him, and did not mention Xia Yu''s matter, but proposed to buy part of his equity. Although Ye Deli guessed that something he didn¡¯t know had happened But in the face of He Hongshen¡¯s repeated demands and the high premium, taking into account the face of relatives, Ye Deli still chose to agree. At a price of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, 2% of the equity was transferred to He Hongshen. As a result, He Hongshen''s shareholding ratio rose to 37%. With the addition of 14% of the shares of sister He Wanqi, it will reach 51% and continue to control the Australian Entertainment Company. At this point, He Hongshen was completely relieved. Just wanting Xia Yu to enter the Australian Entertainment Company and assign financial personnel to supervise, He Hongshen always has such a thorn in his heart...

After arriving at Jiuding Securities, what you can see is a busy scene. There are short meetings, short meetings, start-up machines to start the machine...In short, they are all preparing for the opening of the stock market. In the respectful greetings from the employees, Xia Yu walked through the corridor and met Wang Qi who was assigning tasks in the trader''s room. It happened that Wang Qi was about to finish the arrangement. He finally said a few words and declared the end, letting the employees perform their duties, and then quickly walked out of the trading room. "Chairman, good morning!" "Good morning!" "How is the acquisition of the shares of Kowloon Bus?" Xia Yu asked casually. Wang Qi said immediately: "Chairman, we were talking about this just now" "The specific situation is like this. On Saturday and Sunday, the company''s acquisition team secretly approached the shareholders of the Tan family, the Lin family and the Yu family." "The Tan family and the Lin family are already not interested in Kowloon Bus, so after Deng Zhaojian and Lei Juekun and others convened a meeting on Saturday and Sunday, but they could not come up with effective measures, they also knew that the stock price would fall after the market opened today. , So it was easy to choose to sell the equity. We gave them a fair price based on Friday¡¯s closing price." "Tan''s 8.48% equity cost 26 million Hong Kong dollars." "Lin''s 7.46% equity cost 23 million Hong Kong dollars." "As for Yujia, the third largest shareholder, it is more difficult to acquire, but it is still tough. It is only a slight premium of 5% and the purchase of their holdings at a price of 31 million Hong Kong dollars. 9.64 equity." "The remaining Lei family¡¯s shares in Lei Juekun, Deng Zhaojian, and Wu¡¯s family have not rashly acquired for the time being. Among them, the Wu family runs the Jiulong Construction Company together with the Lei family, and the Wu family will most likely inform Lei Juekun. But for the time being, Deng Zhaojian¡¯s attitude is still out of our grasp." "In addition to these major shareholders who have entered the board of directors, we have also acquired equity in some institutions. The scattered and scattered totals reached 8.39%, at a cost of 27.3 million Hong Kong dollars." "So so far, we have also held 34.08%, surpassing Lei Juekun to become the largest shareholder of Kowloon Motor Bus." "According to the plan, after the stock market opens, we will try our best to hit the Kowloon Motor Bus and China Motors, and then start bargaining." "We plan to acquire 15 million shares of Kowloon Motor Bus from the secondary market within two days, increasing our actual shareholding ratio to more than 50%." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Good job, efficiency is getting higher and higher." Wang Qi smiled and said, "It is the chairman of the board who gave you good guidance." Xia Yu immediately smiled and shook his head and said: "Wang Qi, when did you learn to flatter like Yan Wenhan, just do things well, don''t worry about these falsehoods." Wang Qi smiled and nodded without saying more. Xia Yu looked at the time and found that it was only more than a minute before the opening of the stock market. He said to Wang Qi: "The market is about to open. You can check it again. I will take a look first." "Ok!" Wang Qi responded and then withdrew. Xia Yu wandered around in the trader''s room and patted employees on the shoulders from time to time for a few words of encouragement, which greatly inspired the employees'' enterprising spirit. More than a minute passed by. When the time came, the stock market officially opened. The electronic screens and electronic disks of the trading room of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. were simultaneously displayed on the electronic screens. Xia Yu immediately found the code of Kowloon Bus and looked at it. The opening price was 3.20 Hong Kong dollars per share, a drop of about 5% from the closing price last Friday! At the moment of opening, the two traders in Jiuding Securities¡¯ trading room started to take action. A 500-lot sell order was listed at a price of 3.1 Hong Kong dollars per share, with a total value of 150 Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars. Then another sell order for 300 lots was listed at 3.09 per share, with a total value of 927,000 Hong Kong dollars. The share price of Kowloon Motor Bus was instantly pulled down. Immediately afterwards, Xia Yu saw that large and small selling orders began to appear, as many as hundreds of lots, as few as a few or dozens of lots. The prices of the selling orders were uneven, but they all had a unified feature, that is, they were all more expensive. The opening price is low. Obviously, the concerns accumulated by investors and institutions over the weekend two days have been detonated, and the stock price has continued to fall. Then Xia Yu looked at the stock price of China Automobile Co., Ltd. The stock price also opened low, with a single share of only 1.27 Hong Kong dollars and a total market value of 191 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the decline is not as good as that of Kowloon Motor Bus, it has also shrunk by about 17% compared to when the stock price was normal last week. Moreover, with the current situation, it is a certainty that the stock price of China Motor Company Limited will continue to fall. It depends on whether it can be affected by the stock price of Kowloon Motor Bus today and shrink its market value by another 10 million Hong Kong dollars. At some point, Wang Qi came to Xia Yu''s side again and accompanied him quietly. Xia Yu regained his gaze, looked at Wang Qi and said: "On the secondary market, we are striving to acquire another 20% of the equity. The stock market is so dynamic. Lei Juekun, Deng Zhaojian and others will definitely know that I had a relationship with Deng Zhaojian. There are many intersections. I will go to him in the afternoon and look at the shares of Lei Juekun and Wu''s family later." Wang Qi showed a happy smile, nodded and said, "Okay." After that, Xia Yu left Jiuding Securities Company and returned to Jiuding Building as soon as he sent someone to contact Deng Zhaojian to make an appointment for an afternoon meeting. ... At 2:58 in the afternoon, Xia Yu''s motorcade arrived at the mansion at No. 5 Beaulieu Road, Happy Valley. The guard had already received instructions to let him go after confirming the license plate. When Xia Yu came to the door of the villa, nearly eighty years old, with a bald and white eyebrow, Deng Zhaojian welcomed Xia Yu with a kind smile: "Mr. Xia, welcome you to my house. Your arrival will make my house flourish! " Xia Yu hurriedly smiled and shook hands with Deng Zhaojian: "Sir Deng, please go out to meet you, Xia is flattered!" Deng Zhaojian won the title of Lord in 1964, so Xia Yu is not wrong to call him a knight. Deng Zhaojian laughed and said: "Mr. Xia, you are still as humble as you always have. When it comes to family business and influence, I am far behind you. I am right about what should be flattered." "Let¡¯s stop standing outside, it looks like I¡¯m inadequate, please [] please inside!" "You always please!" After being seated one after another, Deng Zhaojian said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, remember that the last time we met was at the foundation laying ceremony of Jiuding University. It has been a few months since I thought about it." Xia Yu nodded and smiled: "Yes, I have to thank you for supporting yourself, and donating one million Hong Kong dollars generously!" Deng Zhaojian happily waved his hand and said, "Whatever you say thank you, I have done my best. Mr. Xia, you donated 100 million yuan on the spot. You are a big deal, and my popularity has greatly increased!" "It''s more than March now. The university is almost ready for the start of school, right? I have also seen Jiuding University''s advertisements in the newspapers and Global Satellite TV, and I have done a very good job. I clearly introduced the advantages of Jiuding University. The little grandson yelled that he was going to study at Jiuding University when he grew up." Xia Yu smiled and replied: "Every aspect is almost ready, and now the publicity is started, and the autonomous enrollment process will soon start." "The goal of Jiuding University is to become a world-renowned university. When your grandson grows up, you can really go in and study. I believe it will not be worse than outside." Deng Zhaojian smiled cheerfully: "Mr. You Xia strongly supports the establishment of the school. We in Hong Kong will definitely have a world-renowned school. When my little grandson grows up, he will be admitted to the school. I am afraid that I will not be able to support it when I grow up. Time." Xia Yu said quickly: "Sir, what frustrating words do you say, I think you are in a sturdy body, and it will not be a problem to live another thirty years." "By the way, my master Li Chunqiu is the dean of the Chunqiu Hospital. He has unique insights on health preservation. I will ask him to chat with you when he is free and prescribe some prescriptions for nourishing Qi." Deng Zhaojian smiled and thanked: "Your master, Mr. Chunqiu, is very famous in Xiangjiang. It seems that I have to take advantage of you and try to live a few more years, haha..." ... The two talked and laughed and chatted for a while, Deng Zhaojian asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, is there anything wrong with you this time?" Xia Yu''s expression became solemn, his eyes calmly met Deng Zhaojian, and he nodded and said: "Yes, Sir Deng, I have an unrelenting request this time, and I hope you will be perfect!" Deng Zhaojian nodded slightly, smiled and made a please gesture: "But it''s okay to say!" Xia Yu said bluntly: "Sir Deng, I hope you can transfer the shares of Kowloon Bus to me. I intend to acquire Kowloon Bus." Deng Zhaojian was not angry, but pondered for a moment, and asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, can I know how many shares you have acquired?" Xia Yu didn''t hesitate, and said frankly, "About 34%." Deng Zhaojian raised his snow-white eyebrows and said in surprise, "There are so many?" After speaking, he contemplated for a moment, and asked, "Did the Tan family, the Lin family and the Yu family have been sold to you?" Xia Yu was a little surprised. He didn''t expect Deng Zhaojian to guess it so easily. He nodded and said, "Yes, besides them, I also bought some from other financial institutions." Deng Zhaojian nodded slightly and said with emotion: "I guess it is themTan Huantang and Lin Mingxun have insisted on equity many times and clearly expressed their desire to withdraw when they were alive. Now the equity is in the hands of their descendants. I haven''t paid much attention to the company''s development. Now the Kowloon Bus has a problem. It is normal for them to choose this way. "As for the Yu family, they are now keen to run a real estate company and are not very interested in the low-profit Kowloon Bus." "Among the founders of Kowloon Bus, I am the only one who is still alive. Lei Juekun of the Lei family and Wu Jiaxinsi who later entered are also in Kowloon to build a business. The reason why they still care is for the land of the Kowloon Bus. Hey... ¡­" At the end, Deng Zhaojian sighed, as if he felt disappointed that the business he had run his entire life had fallen to this point. Seeing Deng Zhaojian looking a little lonely, Xia Yu thought for a while and wanted to enlighten: "Sir Deng, you don¡¯t have to sigh all the time. Every generation has the idea of ??a generation. Now the bus industry is limited by the Hong Kong government, and the real estate industry is hot , They don¡¯t have much technical content. It¡¯s normal for them to be keen on the real estate industry. Every industry has a cycle. Now the bus industry is at its end." PS: Ask for a ticket Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 956: After drinking tea and chatting, business is done Deng Zhaojian restrained his mood and smiled freely: "There are no hundred days of red flowers. In fact, after the Hong Kong government issued profit restrictions in 1975, the bus industry has been doomed for the future." After feeling the emotions, Deng Zhaojian suddenly asked: "Yes, Mr. Xia, since you have a bad prospect in guiding the bus industry, why should you step into this quagmire?" "Do you want the land owned by Kowloon Motor Bus?" When Tang Zhaojian wanted to come, the Kowloon Bus only had the huge land value. This is why Lei Jue-kun has always cared about the Kowloon Bus. It was because he used the name of joint development or transformation to invade the land of the Kowloon Bus. The reason why he opened one eye and closed one eye was not because he had no opinion or was in the same style, but because Lei Juekun was his nephew, and he also watched Lei Juekun grow up and accept the Lei family¡¯s business. Therefore, as long as Lei Juekun is not too much and affects the normal operation of the Kowloon Bus, he will not bother to conflict with him. Unexpectedly, Xia Yu shook his head in his puzzled gaze, and said frankly: "I didn''t do it for the land of Kowloon Bus, I just wanted to enter the bus industry." "Most people run a company to make money, but I am different, I am to enrich the industry chain." "Sir Deng should know that I have a Jiuding Transportation Group. At that time, you generously sold part of the shares of Yau Ma Tei Ferry to me." "This is a long time ago!" "And this is just normal business dealings, and it cannot be said to be generous." Hearing this, Deng Zhaojian smiled and nodded and said. There is indeed such a thing, and it is precisely because of the transfer of the shares of the Yau Ma Tei Ferry that he and Xia Yu have a greater intersection, and later became friends. Later, he also heard that the Yau Ma Tei Ferry had merged with the Star Ferry to dominate the short-distance ferry market in Hong Kong. "You have made me perfect, and you keep it in my heart." Xia Yu said with a smile, making Deng Zhaojian smile more. Xia Yu went on to explain: "In addition to the Star Ferry of Water Transport under my Jiuding Transport Group, there is also a Xiangjiang Tram Company. There is also a certain market in the land passenger transport market. In the passenger transport market, I will occupy a dominant position, and at the same time, I can coordinate internally to reduce competition and save costs." "Moreover, Kowloon Bus can also provide some subsidies for my other industries." "It is based on this consideration that the Kowloon Bus has more important value to me, not just operating profit." Deng Zhaojian showed a clear look and believed Xia Yu''s reason. He thought for a while and said: "Since the Kowloon Bus has such an effect on you, then I think you will also use your heart to operate the Kowloon Bus." "I am also old, and my son and grandson are not interested in Kowloon Motor Bus. I have no other requirements. I only hope that you can bring new vitality to the Kowloon Motor Bus." "To be honest, there was such a big accident a few days ago, and I feel very guilty. Although there are many reasons for the accident, it is undeniable that we have also failed in management." "I went to see the wounded, hey, it''s too miserable, I am ashamed of them..." Seeing Deng Zhaojian¡¯s full face of self-blame, Xia Yu comfortedly said: "Sir, you don¡¯t have to blame yourself so much. No one wants to see the accident happen, but since it has been like this, we can only remedy it as much as possible, not to mention the cause of the accident. I also watched it. It was mainly because the driver went to gambling at night and was tired during the day, which caused a car accident. Deng Zhaojian shook his head with a bitter smile, and then revived and said: "Forget it, let''s not talk about it, things have already happened." "Wait a moment, I''ll go upstairs." "Ok!" Xia Yu responded, and then watched Deng Zhaojian go upstairs. After a while, Deng Zhaojian walked down again, with some documents in his hand. Xia Yu guessed that it should be the Kowloon Motor Bus''s stock certificate. Sure enough, Deng Zhaojian handed the stock certificate to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, you can see, this is the stock certificate of 8.97 million shares of Kowloon Bus in my personal name." Xia Yu took it, just glanced at it and returned it to Deng Zhaojian. After all, this thing did not belong to him before the cooperation was officially reached. Although Deng Zhaojian has clearly expressed his willingness to transfer the equity to him. Xia Yu looked down and said, "Sir Deng, I need all of these equity, please make a price!" Tang Siu-kin thought for a while and said: "I also know that the stock price of Kowloon Motor Bus is plummeting, but in my opinion this plummeting is a bit irrational. Kowloon Motor Bus has the franchise of bus services in the New Territories and the Kowloon area. This is an exclusive business, regardless of word of mouth. No matter how bad it is, citizens still have to ride." "The most immediate problem now is the issue of compensation for the dead and the injured. A sum of money needs to be paid, but there is also a limit, which only affects the income this year." "So in terms of price, I agree that it is lower than the previous price, but it cannot be too low." "Mr. Xia, what do you think?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "This is the truth, I understand what you mean." Deng Zhaojian smiled and continued: "I am not an unreasonable person, Mr. Xia, please come and make a price. As long as the price is right, I will have someone bring the contract and sign it directly." Deng Zhaojian¡¯s boldness made Xia Yu feel good. He thought about it, and looked at Deng Zhaojian, and said sincerely: "Sir Deng, at the close of last weekend, the market value of Kowloon Bus was about 310 million Hong Kong dollars." "When the market closed this morning, the market value of Kowloon Motor Bus was about 280 million Hong Kong dollars. When the market opened in the afternoon, it also went down at the opening." Deng Zhaojian calmed down and listened quietly to Xia Yu''s account. He thought Xia Yu would use this to keep prices down. Unexpectedly, Xia Yu''s next words surprised him again. "But Sir Deng, as you said, the capital market is sometimes irrational. Investors use their feet to vote to follow suit." "So my idea is to determine that the market value of Kowloon Motor Bus is 360 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will purchase your 8.97 million shares at a price of 35.1 million Hong Kong dollars." "What do you think?" Seeing Xia Yu''s sincere smile, Deng Zhaojian laughed loudly: "Mr. Xia, you have suffered a lot!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "I don''t think I suffer!" Deng Zhaojian smiled and asked suddenly: "Mr. Xia, can I know the basis of your acquisition of the shares of the Tan Family and the Lin Family?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I''ll tell you, it''s the closing price last Friday." Deng Zhaojian was taken aback for a moment, and then he was stunned: "It turned out to be 310 million Hong Kong dollars." "I didn''t expect Mr. Xia to give me such a face, so I really deserve it!" Xia Yu shook his head and said, "They belong to them, and you belong to you. Even if it is the same thing, it must be different from person to person. If you fulfill me, I can''t let you suffer. After all, besides business, we also have personal friendship. , I can''t cheat you!" "Sir Deng, do you think I asked the lawyer to come or something?" Deng Zhaojian smiled and said: "In this case, I will accept your love. Let me call the lawyer. My family lawyer happens to be nearby. I will call him and he will be here soon." "Okay! Then you will always arrange it!" Xia Yu nodded. Immediately afterwards, Deng Zhaojian made a phone call and explained to the lawyer what to prepare and the terms of the transaction. About half an hour later, just as Xia Yu and Deng Zhaojian were chatting, the doorbell rang, and after the servant opened the door, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in, who was Deng Zhaojian¡¯s family lawyer. The contract for this transaction is relatively simple, the number of shares and the price are obvious, and there are no hidden traps. After Xia Yu finished reading it, he directly signed the contract, and then the contract was in triplicate. Xia Yu took one, Deng Zhaojian, and the lawyer kept one. "Mr. Xia, now it is yours!" Deng Zhaojian picked up the stock certificate on the table and handed it to Xia Yu. There were some inexplicable expressions in his eyes, seemingly reluctant, seemingly pleased, and some seemingly sad. Xia Yu understands Deng Zhaojian''s feelings. After all, Deng Zhaojian has served as the chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Motor Bus for nearly 50 years. People have long hearts. Kowloon Motor Bus should be another child in Deng Zhaojian''s mind. He solemnly accepted the share certificate and promised Deng Zhaojian: "Sir Deng, thank you for your trust in me. Please rest assured that I will run the Kowloon Bus with all my strength. I will replace the vehicle for the Kowloon Bus as soon as I take over. , Add at least 500 brand new buses!" As for the bus brand, it is undoubtedly the Leyland brand. Xia Yu''s Leyland Motor Group''s brand under the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the United Kingdom, the fertilizer is still circulating in its own fields. Deng Zhaojian said cheerfully: "Mr. Xia is really generous, and I increasingly believe that the Kowloon Bus is the wisest choice to hand you over!" Xia Yu smiled and said: "By the way, Sir Deng, there is a good way to have an old family like a treasure. Although you sold me your equity, Kowloon Bus is still your child. I hope you can serve as the permanent reputation of Kowloon Bus. The executive director, I can remind one or two in time when the Kowloon Bus makes a detour." "Okay, thank you Mr. Xia..." "Sir Deng, I will put the money into your account by tomorrow at the latest..." ... At the end, when Xia Yu left Deng''s house, Deng Zhaojian, in a cheerful mood, personally sent Xia Yu out of the door until he got in the car. Before Xia Yu¡¯s car was about to leave, Deng Zhaojian said to Xia Yu: ¡°Mr. Xia, Lei Juekun and Wu¡¯s family, I won¡¯t tell them, but if you need me to come forward, I¡¯m happy to come forward and wait until you buy enough. After the shareholding, please call me and I will accompany you to take over the Kowloon Bus." "Okay, thank you Sir!" "No thanks, I should!" "It''s getting late, I''ll talk again next time when I have time. Good luck!" "As you say, goodbye!" After leaving Deng''s house, Xia Yu went directly to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. before it was time for get off work. I don¡¯t know how much equity Wang Qi has bought, plus the equity of Deng Zhaojian he has taken. How far is it from 50%? PS: Ask for a ticket Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 957: Ascend to the throne of the British media king Because the market was closed, the working atmosphere of Jiuding Securities was not particularly urgent. When Xia Yu returned to the company, Wang Qi was drinking tea and reading the report, which was very uncomfortable. After seeing Xia Yu''s return, Wang Qi immediately put down his tea cup and report and got up to say hello: "Chairman, you are back." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said jokingly: "Well, Wang Qi, depending on your state, today''s results should be good, right?" Wang Qi showed a modest smile and said: "Although the results are not particularly great, they have also completed the plan made this morning." Xia Yu sat down on the sofa, stretched his shoulders and said, "Let''s talk." After speaking, he picked up the grapes in the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled one and threw it into his mouth. The refreshing sensation of sweet and sour and the fragrance of grapes burst his taste buds. Wang Qi directly talked about today¡¯s results: "Today, we bought 7.51 million shares from the secondary market today, accounting for 8.16% of the total share capital of Kowloon Motor Bus, costing a total of 2283. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and murmured in his mouth: "8.16 percent, um..." The data Wang Qi reported to him before the start of the morning was that Jiuding Securities had acquired a total of 34.08% of the shares. Coupled with the acquisition in the secondary market, Jiuding Securities now owns 42.24% of the equity. Add 9.75% of the purchase from Deng Zhaojian in his bag. The final sum is-52.98%! The actual holding of Kowloon Motor Bus has been completed! This morning Wang Qi also said that he planned to complete 50% of the holding within two days, and now it will be completed in one day. Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a smile. Wang Qi, who had been watching Xia Yu, saw the smile on the chairman''s face, and he had a more certain guess in his heart. He asked, "Chairman, is Deng Zhaojian''s equity in hand?" Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled and nodded and said: "I have already bought it, in the bag!" After that, Xia Yu opened the briefcase and threw the equity contract and certificate to Wang Qi, and said, "You put these things together, and you will need them when the equity is transferred to Jiuding Transportation Group." Wang Qi immediately caught it, opened the transaction contract and equity certificate, glanced at it, and took it with a smile: "Okay, I will put it in the safe now." Having said that, Wang Qi got up and went to the closet behind the desk. After opening it revealed a safe embedded in the wall. After some manipulation, he opened the safe, put the files in and locked it again, and returned to Xia Yu. Sit down in front of you. "Chairman, we now hold more than 50% of the shares in this calculation. Wouldn''t we directly approach Lei Juekun to initiate an equity purchase?" Xia Yu thought for a while and asked: "Today''s bargain-hunting, the transaction volume of the Kowloon Bus has skyrocketed. Someone should start entering, right? Wang Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I''ve been asked to inquire, but I''m still not sure if Lei Juekun is hunting in the background." Xia Yu continued: "It doesn''t matter, buy one day tomorrow, and now it''s about 15% away from the 67% line, let''s work harder!" "The day after tomorrow, you can go to Yue Lei Juekun. The company should have shares in Jiulong Jianye. Go and swap with him. If he is willing to transfer the shares, it¡¯s best. If he doesn¡¯t want to, it doesn¡¯t matter. For a wholly-owned acquisition, there is no need to make the relationship so stale. Anyway, he has given me some face." "By the way, if he asks to see me, you can also promise him. If he doesn''t mention it, it''s best." Wang Qi nodded and said, "Okay." Then, the office fell silent for a while. Xia Yu took a sip of tea, then thought about China Auto, and asked Wang Qi: "How is the place where China Auto''s stock is purchased?" Wang Qi also remembered this data. He directly stated: "Chairman, today, he has acquired 7.68% of the shares from the secondary market. The acquisition is not too strong." "And in accordance with your instructions, we have not contacted those institutions for the time being, but the preliminary acquisition plan has been drawn up, and large-scale acquisitions can be launched at any time." Xia Yu Ning eyebrows thought for a while, considering that the progress of the Kowloon Bus is now smoother and faster than expected, so the plan has to be adjusted. He instructed Wang Qi: "In this way, you can also speed up the progress of the China Motors acquisition. Now you can go directly to the Yan family and the Huang family, and proceed at the same time to find their weaknesses and strive for a success." Wang Qi smiled and nodded, "Okay." After thinking about it, I found that nothing happened. Xia Yu looked at his watch and realized that it was not too early. He got up and said, "Let''s go, it''s getting late. You should also get off work and go home early to be with your family." "Chairman, I will clean up a bit, and I will go back later." "Well, then I''m leaving now!" After speaking, Xia Yu got up and walked outside. ... In the next few days, Xia Yu''s main energy was on the Jiuding Building. However, Wang Qi will call Xia Yu every day after the market is closed to report on the progress. Generally speaking, it went well, and Lei Juekun''s active resistance did not happen. Perhaps it was because he knew that his arms could not twist his thighs, and he was unable to return to the sky. After talking on the phone with Xia Yu, Lei Juekun chose to sell his 20.38% equity directly to Jiuding Securities. It''s just that the asking price is higher. Taking into account that Lei Juekun is very knowledgeable and vaguely heard Lei Juekun''s complaints, Xia Yu did not overly squeeze Lei Juekun. Under Xia Yu¡¯s indication, the result of the negotiations was that Kowloon Motor Bus used 330 million Hong Kong dollars as the base, and Lei Jue-kun¡¯s 20.38% of the shares held were valued at 67.2 million Hong Kong dollars. Part of the equity of Jiulong Jianye was replaced, plus 31 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. After Lei Juekun, the largest shareholder, compromised, there was even less resistance in the secondary market. In order to maximize the benefits, Wang Qi did not update the equity information at the first time, but allowed the stock price of Kowloon Motor Bus to continue to fall, and then bought shares at a low price. It was not until Friday afternoon when the stock market was closed that Jiuding Transport Group announced that it held a 45% stake in Kowloon Bus and became the largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus. And Liu Sanquan, the general manager of Jiuding Transport Group, was on the board of directors of Kowloon Bus. Chairman Deng Zhaojian took over the company. As soon as the news was announced, there was a heated discussion, and reporters from all walks of life flocked to the Kowloon Bus headquarters. When Liu Sanquan came out, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters. After answering some questions, he seized the opportunity to announce that he would increase investment in Kowloon Bus, purchase 500 new buses, and strengthen management and the professional ethics of drivers. And skill training, Barabara has a lot, in short, the reporters who came have gained a lot. In fact, in addition to the 45% equity held by Jiuding Transportation Group, there is the remaining 36.55% equity. According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the acquisition of more than 35% will trigger the mandatory acquisition regulations. Jiuding Transportation Group will have to apply for exemption from the exchange afterwards. With the power of "Jiuding", the application for exemption is without difficulty . As for the remaining equity, part of it was placed under the control of Jiuding Securities, and part of it was transferred to the control of Jiuding Bank. On the new board of Kowloon Bus, only the Wu family remained, and Xia Yu didn''t bother to move him. Anyway, the equity held by the Wu family did not have any right to speak, and he was a puppet director. If the Wu family can bear it, they can take it, and if they can¡¯t bear it, they can leave as they cash out. Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care. The Kowloon Motor Bus is done, and China Motor Corporation Limited has made decisive progress. The Yan family and the Huang family, who had no intention of operating China Motor Co., Ltd., raised the white flag decisively in the face of Jiuding Securities¡¯ carrot and stick. The two shares totaling 46.86% were directly transferred to Jiuding Securities. After the acquisition was completed, Wang Qi immediately dealt with the equity in accordance with Xia Yu''s instructions. Among them, 34.99% of the equity was transferred to the Xiangjiang Tourism Investment Group established by Xia Yuxin. The remaining 33.13% of the equity is also dispersed. In fact, Xia Yu actually controls 68.12% of China Motor''s equity, more than two-thirds, and the board of directors is determined by the Xiangjiang Tourism Investment Group. Xia Yu does not intend to acquire the remaining more than 30% of the equity. Anyway, with the current situation of China Motor Co., Ltd., there are too many old buses. It must be a large-scale replacement of new buses, and new routes need to be opened. This requires a lot of money. As a listed company of China Motor, Xia Yu¡¯s money is not suitable for casual use. Without borrowing from the bank, the only way is to issue new shares to raise funds. Xia Yu¡¯s shareholding ratio will continue to rise by then. of. On Sunday, Xia Yu took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong out for a sea trip. After returning, he learned that Yan Wenhan, who had returned from England, was looking for him. Thinking that the acquisition of Times Newspaper Holdings should have had a result, Xia Yu directly brought Yan Wenhan to his home. After listening to Yan Wenhan''s narration, Xia Yu also learned of the twists and turns encountered in the acquisition. Although Rupert Murdoch is very difficult and there are many tricks, but Yan Wenhan made full use of his own advantages, especially chairman Xia Yu''s contacts in the UK, and won the final victory. The Times News Holdings Limited was purchased for 13 million pounds, and the British government did not show any obstacles. Rupert Murdoch ended sadly. And Jiuding Newspaper Company has become one of the giants in the British media industry. In this way, in the British media industry, Xia Yu owns the three pillars of the Mirror Group, the Financial Times Group and The Times News Holdings Ltd., and has firmly established himself as the king of British media. However, these three companies have concealed their equity by going around. Xia Yu also didn''t want to be led by the enemy and used public opinion to force the British government to impose anti-monopoly sanctions on him. Between fictitious name and real power, he chose the latter... PS: Ask for recommended ticket monthly pass Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 958: Strategic investment With the successful acquisition of Kowloon Motor Bus and China Motors, and Liu Sanquan also handled the dead and injured properly, Jiuding Newspaper no longer contributed to the flames, and the public opinion on the Kowloon Motor Bus quickly dropped. People are good at forgetting the past! I believe that with the passage of time, this matter will gradually become dusty in history and turn into a dust. Unless there is another accident and it is picked up and exposed by a caring person, the memory can be awakened. ... "Tuk tuk!" "Come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, Xia Yu didn''t raise his head, and continued to sign and issue the documents. When he felt someone coming, Xia Yu raised his head and found that it was Huo Jianning. Xia Yu smiled and motioned Huo Jianning to sit down: "Jianning, sit down!" "Thank you, Chairman!" "Chairman, this is the information about Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. that you arranged for me to collect before. There are 28 pages in total. Please have a look!" Huo Jianning said, presenting a document in his hand to Xia Yu, and after Xia Yu took it, he sat down upright. Xia Yu weighed the documents and said with a smile: "It seems that there is a lot of information, you have worked hard." "You go to other things first, I should finish reading in half an hour, and you will come back." Huo Jianning was taken aback, then got up and bowed slightly and said, "Okay, then Chairman, I will go down first." "Ok!" Ignoring Huo Jianning, Xia Yu lowered his head and flipped through the information, browsing quickly, only staying for a while when he encountered key information. More and more information about the Pioneer Electronics Company of the island country entered his mind. Island Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. was established in 1938. The founder Matsumoto Nozomi started with the research and development of A-8 dynamic speakers. The company''s original name was Gospel Chamber of Commerce Electric Manufacturing Co., but it was not changed to its current name until 1961. Pioneer Electronics'' products have four prominent stages. The first stage was the launch of the world¡¯s first modular stereo system in 1962, which became popular all over the world. Because of this product, Pioneer Electronics also established sales companies in Europe and the United States in the next few years. To the world, from an island company to a multinational company. Pioneer Electronics has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Osaka Stock Exchange and the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the Netherlands. The second stage was in 1975, when the first modular car audio system was once again launched, which was once again welcomed by the market. The sales volume and outstanding performance of Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd., in order to further develop the American market, went on the New York Stock Exchange in December 1976. Listed. In this way, Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. has properly become a well-known and solid multinational company. The third stage was in 1977. Pioneer Electronics broke through the business scope of the audio field and launched the world''s first two-way addressable cable television system in the United States. With the help of the cooperation with Warner Bros., it entered the US cable television industry market. . The fourth stage was in 1979 and 1980. After acquiring most of the copyright of Philips'' LD laser disc system, the industrial LD ??player and the home LD player VP-1000 were successively launched. In addition to these more iconic products, Pioneer Electronics has other products and businesses, but they are not as prominent as the above-mentioned products, but there are also many bright spots. In general, Pioneer Electronics is an outstanding electronics company and a top large company in the world''s audio field. Xia Yu vaguely remembered that when he visited the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the UK, he heard that the Bentley Motors subsidiary purchased Pioneer Car Audio... According to data, Pioneer Electronics is listed on multiple exchanges. The Tokyo Stock Exchange has the highest market value, with a current market value of 180.4 billion yen. According to the current USD/JPY exchange rate, the market value after equivalent to USD is about 820 million USD. As for the shareholding structure of Xia Yu¡¯s concern about Pioneer Electronics in the island country, it has the characteristics of the island country from the early days after World War II to the present. It has a highly dispersed individual shareholding and a relatively stable shareholding structure between relatively concentrated financial institutions and industrial legal persons. Remember that after the 1990s, after a series of reform measures by the island government to relax the rules, will it bring about the second shareholding structure change of the disintegration of mutual shareholding and the rise of pure market investment holdings. So for now, Pioneer Electronics does not have the so-called largest shareholder. The largest shareholder is Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, which holds 5.9% of the shares. The second shareholder is the founding family Matsumoto family, with a shareholding ratio of 4.7%. ... Then the top ten shareholders hold 31.7% in total! The top 20 shareholders hold 43.4% in total! However, Huo Jianning made the information very carefully, and specifically marked the background or related backgrounds of the top ten and top twenty shareholders. Just like the largest shareholder Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, it is undoubtedly one of the core companies of the Mitsubishi consortium. Among the top ten shareholders, in addition to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, the fifth largest shareholder Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi holds 3.2%, and the ninth largest shareholder Mitsubishi Motors holds 2.2%. Therefore, the Mitsubishi Consortium camp controls Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. in total, accounting for 11.3%, which is the largest proportion. Even if this cumulative shareholding ratio does not allow the Mitsubishi Consortium to make a single-word decision on Pioneer Electronics¡¯ decision, considering the cooperative relationship with Mitsubishi Motors and other companies under the Mitsubishi Consortium, the influence of the Mitsubishi Consortium on Pioneer Electronics It''s still big. Therefore, Pioneer Electronics can be regarded as a peripheral company of the Mitsubishi Consortium. But Xia Yu also knows that there are not too many Mitsubishi consortiums for peripheral companies like Pioneer Electronics. If there is anything special, Pioneer Electronics has a higher market value and stronger strength! Before he knew it, half an hour passed before Huo Jianning came to Xia Yu''s office again. Xia Yu showed admiration and praised Huo Jianning: "Jianning, you have collected very detailed information, and you have worked hard." Huo Jianning said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Chairman, this is what I should do." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, put the information on the desktop, and said to Huo Jianning: "I also read the content. Although Pioneer Electronics has a dispersed shareholding, the acquisition is more difficult." "What do you think of this situation?" Huo Jianning has obviously considered this issue. He sorted out his thoughts and said: "Chairman, among the top 20 shareholders of Pioneer Electronics, 14 of them have deep business dealings, or have funds with banks and insurance companies. The lending relationship is either the business cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation." "Moreover, Pioneer Electronics also has a mutual shareholding relationship with some of these companies. Although the shareholding ratio is not large, corporate legal persons are each other''s shareholders and directors." "This also shows that these shares are mainly used for cooperative links, not purely for investment, so the acquisition will be very difficult." "Even if the equity of these shareholders is really acquired, it will bring hidden dangers to Pioneer Electronics, and the cooperative relationship with other companies will be unstable." "In addition, Pioneer Electronics is also listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the Netherlands and the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. Some European and American institutions also hold shares in Pioneer Electronics. These holdings are purely stock investments. It will also make acquisitions cumbersome." "Of course there are disadvantages and advantages. Pioneer Electronics is listed on many exchanges, which will also facilitate us to secretly attract funds, and the probability of being discovered is lower." "If you don''t want to acquire Pioneer Electronics Company wholly, then I suggest buying from the secondary market in various places in the name of a number of companies, unknowingly increasing the shareholding, and rushing into the top 20 and top 10. Among the shareholders, the shareholders of the top 20 shareholders who do not have business dealings will then purchase shares." "Papa..." After Huo Jianning finished speaking, Xia Yu''s applause followed. "The thinking is very clear and the implementability is high." Xia Yu said in admiration. Huo Jianning smiled modestly, and said: "It''s still the chairman that you have cultivated well, but I don''t know if my ideas are in line with yours." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Your thoughts are in my heart. I don''t want to wholly acquire Pioneer Electronics." "The main purpose is to improve the industrial chain." "Like Pioneer Electronics'' car audio, it is what car companies need." "LD player and related patents are what Tiangong Electronics needs in the future." "Stereo systems and limited TV systems are also available." As long as you have invested in Pioneer Electronics and have an important voice, automobile companies, electronics companies, electrical appliance manufacturing companies, and American media companies will all have a solid supply chain in terms of product and technology supply. Don¡¯t worry about the future These areas were blackmailed by other people, or other problems occurred. This is the significance of strategic equity participation! The six major consortiums of the island countries rely on this model to acquire shares in companies all over the world and open up all the industrial chains of various industries. Many possible constraints disappear before the bud due to a small number of shareholding relationships. Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Consortium has developed to the current scale, and it will inevitably be on the edge of the world¡¯s major consortia. Then this strategic investment model is undoubtedly the most suitable. It costs little but can make a difference. effect. Seeing that he had guessed the chairman''s thoughts correctly, Huo Jianning became more confident. He smiled and asked: "Chairman, what are you going to do then? Please give instructions!" Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said to Huo Jianning: "Originally, it is more appropriate to leave this matter to Wang Qi of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., but since you are handling it, it is left to you to handle it. You also take advantage of this opportunity to exercise and deepen your understanding. Understanding of the capital market, a company must have a sufficient understanding of the capital market if it wants to develop well." There was a flash of thinking in Huo Jianning''s eyes, and he solemnly nodded that he had listened. Xia Yu continued: "The acquired equity will be placed under Tiangong Electronics'' salary, Tiangong Electric Manufacturing''s salary, Tiangong Machinery Group, Tiangong Automobile Group, and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. The purpose is to deepen the influence on the board of directors of Pioneer Electronics. As for the level of achievement, it''s up to you to decide on the situation, and you will report to me after completion." "As for capital, I will inject 100 million U.S. dollars into Tiangong Group, and each of its four subsidiaries will divide 25 million U.S. dollars. You can find a solution for the capital gap." "In order to facilitate your actions, I will appoint you as the acting chairman of the Tiangong Group, and strive to remove the word agency as soon as possible." Huo Jianning was pleasantly surprised. He took a deep breath of air pressure to restrain the excitement in his heart, and assured him: "Thank you for the new appointment, I will not let you down!" Xia Yu crossed his palms, leaned forward, and asked with a smile, "Do you have any questions?" Huo Jianning thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No more!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "That line you go to work!" "Goodbye Chairman!" After speaking, Huo Jianning bowed slightly and exited the chairman''s office. Seeing Huo Jianning''s fighting spirit after going out, Xia Yu smiled. He always looked at Huo Jianning''s performance. Whether it was assisting him in handling affairs or operating Tiangong Electronics Company, he performed very well, and the situation that he was worried about did not happen. That''s why he will take advantage of this opportunity to safely burden Huo Jianning and continue to help him grow. I believe that without too many teenagers, Huo Jianning can become a capable man with complete confidence and trust! v3 Chapter 959: Cant get it for less than 20 million On March 25, there are three days before the four-day spring auction held by Sotheby''s Auction House, and the publicity offensive has reached the most critical period. Sotheby¡¯s auction house has long used the channel of Jiuding Newspaper Company to send out the albums of auctions, and the gift range is all over East Asia and Southeast Asia. As long as they are wealthy individuals with a certain wealth, they have received Sotheby¡¯s Spring Festival Take pictures and invitations. Of course, the album is just a selection of some representative lots, and it is impossible to fit all the lots into one album. After all, the spring auction lasted for four days, with a total of 30 special auctions, and more than 1,600 treasures appeared. If you want to find a favorite treasure and bid for it, you can only choose to visit the site in person. However, this spring auction is destined to make history by Sotheby''s auction house. Just because the "Yongle Dadian" displayed in the album shocked all the rich people who received the album, it also shocked the entire collection and cultural circles. There are people in Southeast Asia, island countries, Bangzi countries, European and American countries, and mainland collectors who are ready to fly to Xiangjiang. And some people of insight, after realizing the popularity of Sotheby''s auction house this spring, took out their long-cherished treasures to Sotheby''s auction house, preparing to participate in this spring auction. There are many rich people on the scene, which means that the possibility of passing the auction is small, and the possibility of a higher price is greater. This is a rare opportunity! I miss this time and I don¡¯t know how long to wait. After all, national treasure-level cultural relics like "Yongle Dadian" do not appear every year! It is precisely because of this situation that Sotheby''s auction house continues to increase the number of lots and the overall quality is also improving. Ren Decheng, general manager of Xiangjiang Forbes Auction House, has been 100% sure that this spring sale will leave a strong mark in the history of Xiangjiang Forbes Auction House! The arrival of wealthy foreigners has also driven Xiangjiang''s consumption, especially in the hotel industry, and the occupancy rate has soared. The ones that benefit the most are the hotel brands of Jiuding Hotel Management Group recommended by Sotheby''s Auction House, such as Marco Polo Hotel, Mandarin Hotel, Peninsula Hotel and Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel. Three days passed in a flash. In a blink of an eye it was March 28. On this day, a big red carpet was laid at the entrance of Xiangjiang Forby Auction House, leading directly to the auction house. Outside the door of the auction house, the two columns were wearing black costumes and sunglasses. At first glance, they saw strong Aegis security guards on guard. In addition, there are four young and beautiful women wearing beautiful red cheongsam at the entrance to check the invitation letter. If you don¡¯t have an invitation letter, you can also provide items such as special bank cards that can prove your worth, and pay a 100,000 Hong Kong dollar deposit to enter. Because it is a special auction, there is no such thing as a relatively minor auction in the first three days, and the finest items are put in the final auction. In each special session, there are top-notch auctions at the finale level, which is enough to ensure the climax of the auction. If there is something special, it is the ancient book special session where "Yongle Dadian" is located. It was arranged on the fourth day of the spring auction, which is the last one in the afternoon of March 31, for the finale! It was this morning. Wang Ping, the director of the Xiangjiang branch of Xinhua News Agency, received a group of people from the capital at the port. By the dock, the sea breeze is blowing. Wang Ping shook hands with Liu Shaoquan, the Dean of the Palace Museum, and looked at the three people in the dust, and said with emotion: "Dean Liu, seeing you look like you, didn¡¯t you take a break?" After the sixtieth year, Liu Shaoquan, with white temples, shook his head and said: "If the national treasure comes out late, it will continue to be lost overseas, let alone these few days, I will not be able to sleep for the rest of my life." "President Wang, has the auction started now?" Liu Shaoquan asked anxiously. Wang Ping nodded and said, "It''s already more than ten o''clock. The auction has started for more than an hour." Liu Shaoquan was immediately anxious, and took Wang Ping''s hand and said hurriedly: "President Wang, please take us there now." Wang Ping smiled bitterly and said, "I will take you over and have a look." "And you don¡¯t have to worry, Dean Liu. The auction of "Yongle Dadian" has been set. It will be scheduled for the special auction of ancient books on the afternoon of March 31. There are still more than three days. You can''t bid now if you go. Go to the exhibition hall and take a look." Liu Shaoquan breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and then said anxiously: "It''s okay to take a look first, President Wang also asks you to take us over to see." Wang Ping repeatedly turned and responded: "Good, good!" "But you all have your luggage. It¡¯s not appropriate to go to the auction house. Everyone puts your luggage in that car and arranges for one person to go to Xinhua News Agency. I only have an invitation letter and I can only bring two people in, Dean Liu You decide who to go with." "After going there once, you are familiar with me and I will give you the invitation letter. Then all three of you can go together." Hearing that he could only bring two people, Liu Shao showed a full face, then looked at the two subordinates, and finally fixed his eyes on Ji Xueming, who has studied ancient books. "Dr. Ji, you can join me first today." "Dr. Liu, after President Wang sends me the invitation letter tomorrow, we will go together again." "Okay, listen to your arrangements!" After the arrangements were made, Wang Pingping shared a car and headed to Hong Kong Island. In the car, Wang Ping looked at Liu Shaoquan, who was full of longing for sitting beside him. He thought for a while and asked: "Dean Liu, I don''t know how much money was approved for you this time?" Upon hearing this, Liu Shaoquan was lifted up with a bright smile, and said, "I have spent a lot of effort on this matter. The last ministry approved two million Hong Kong dollars in special funds for the museum. This amount is higher than in the past year. Has a lot of funding!" "President Wang, you are more familiar with Xiangjiang, do you think the money should be able to film "Yongle Dadian"?" Liu Shaoquan looked at Wang Ping with scorching eyes, with anticipation in his eyes. Seeing that Liu Shaoquan is so optimistic, Wang Ping, who is very familiar with Xiangjiang, can¡¯t laugh. Especially he knows that many rich people outside of Xiangjiang have come to Xiangjiang these days. For these people, two million Hong Kong dollars is really just a small amount of money. , Liu Shaoquan has no chance of winning at all. However, he also knows the status quo in the mainland. The monthly salary of workers is only a few dozen yuan, and two million Hong Kong dollars is definitely a huge sum of money. What''s more, there is an extreme lack of foreign exchange in the mainland. Although it is Hong Kong dollars instead of US dollars, the Ministry can grant two million Hong Kong dollars to the Palace Museum, which is indeed a great support. Liu Shaoquan should have spent the brains of the Ministry. It''s just that it''s not good to hit Liu Shaoquan in this way, and it''s not good to let him continue to look forward to it highly. Wang Ping couldn''t help but feel a headache. He thought for a while and said: "Although I know more about Xiangjiang, I am more concerned about politics, economy and people''s livelihood. I have not paid attention to auctions, but I have also heard that there have been many price increases before. Two million lots, just don¡¯t know how high the price of "Yongle Dadian" can get." Liu Shaoquan noticed Wang Ping''s strangeness. The smile on his face narrowed a lot, his eyes showed complicated colors, and he nodded and said, "I hope everything goes well." Afterwards, the car fell silent. After more than 20 minutes, the car finally arrived near Sotheby¡¯s auction house. Wang Ping asked the driver to temporarily stop by the roadside. After putting the three of them down, he arranged his clothes and took out the invitation with Liu Shaoquan, who was shocked by the prosperity of Xiangjiang. The two set foot on the red carpet of Sotheby''s auction house. After verifying the invitation, the three Wang Ping walked into the Sotheby''s auction house. Although the auction has officially started, not everyone has participated. There are always people who are only interested in certain types of artworks. Therefore, those who have not participated in the bidding for the time being gather to observe in the exhibition hall. The three of Wang Ping followed the signs to the exhibition hall. The exhibition hall must be at least more than 1,000 square meters. The large crystal chandeliers lit on the exquisite and elegant ceiling and the glass counters placed on the ground complement each other, giving people an extremely gorgeous sensory enjoyment. In the exhibition hall, well-dressed men and women were walking around to view the exhibits that have not yet been auctioned. At this moment, Wang Ping seemed to have heard the four words "Yongle Dadian". He went along with his fame and found that there was a large group of people in the middle closely surrounding him, and some people sighed from time to time. There should be the exhibition counter of "Yongle Dadian". Wang Ping said to Liu Shaoquan: "Dean Liu, please come with me. There should be the exhibition counter of "Yongle Dadian". Let''s go and take a look." After that, Wang Ping walked over with Liu Shaoquan, who couldn¡¯t wait, and found a suitable gap to squeeze into the inner wall. Sure enough, there was a glass counter about two meters long in the middle of the crowd, and a bodyguard stood at all four corners of the counter. alert. And inside the glass counter, there are quietly yellowed ancient books. Without Wang Ping, Liu Shaoquan and Ji Xueming leaned forward immediately, staring at the ancient books in the counter. Especially Ji Xueming, can''t wait to break the glass and gently hold "Yongle Dadian" in his hands. Happiness is separated by the glass, it seems very beautiful, but it cannot be touched... Ji Xueming''s mood at this time is almost like this. "One, two, three...twenty?" "Didn''t it mean there are one hundred and twenty-two volumes? Why are there only twenty volumes here?" Liu Shaoquan frowned when he clicked once, and muttered to himself in confusion. Seems to have heard what Liu Shaoquan said. An old man who understands Mandarin next to him confuses Liu Shaoquan: "There are one hundred and twenty-two volumes, but because there are too many, only twenty volumes were used for the exhibition. , I don¡¯t know who has the honour to see the remaining 102 volumes of "Yongle Dadian", hey..." Liu Shaoquan gave the old man a grateful look and thanked him: "Thank you for informing!" The old man smiled and said, "You are welcome!" Liu Shaoquan continued to admire the "Yongle Dadian" in the glass cabinet. Although the ancient book is not opened, there will be an introduction card below each volume. The dense text on it simply contains less information about the ancient book, such as which aspect is recorded. knowledge. Unconsciously, half an hour passed. Although the onlookers changed a lot, the crowd was still dense. And the old man who answered Liu Shaoquan''s question just now seems to be extremely obsessed with "Yongle Dadian", and he is still here. Liu Shaoquan hesitated for a moment, and asked the old man: "Old sir, this is Liu Shaoquan, may I ask your last name?" The old man smiled and replied: "Hello, Mr. Liu, my surname is Shi, my name is Youde." Liu Shaoquan smiled and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Shi!" Liu Shaoquan had never heard of Shi Youde''s name, but Wang Ping, who was still nearby, felt familiar. He condensed his eyebrows for a moment and asked Shi Youde: "Is Mr. Shi from the Omen Shijia?" Shi Youde smiled calmly: "Yes! Excuse me, are you?" Wang Ping introduced himself with a smile: "I am Wang Ping, the president of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency." As a billionaire, Shi Youde also came to Omen from the mainland. He naturally knew the nature of Xinhua News Agency. He remembered that the president of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency was named Wang Ping, but because he was in Omen, he had never met Wang. Ping, did not expect to encounter it here. He smiled and said hello: "It turned out to be President Wang. It''s better to see after a long time. Fortunately, I will meet you!" Seeing Liu Shaoquan¡¯s inquisitive gaze, Wang Ping asked him: "Dean Liu, the Omen Shi family is an old rich family, and Mr. Shi is the premier billionaire. I heard that Mr. Shi is still a collector. ." Wang Ping asked Shi Youde with a smile, "Mr. Shi, am I right?" Shi Youde said modestly: "President Wang is too acclaimed. I only have a small fortune. As for collecting, it''s just a small hobby, so I can''t be called by everyone." Liu Shaoquan suddenly understood that Shi Youde should be his competitor, and listening to Wang Ping''s words, Shi Youde was worth billions, which made him very vigilant. He asked nervously: "Mr. Shi, what do you think will probably be the price for this "Yongle Dadian"? Are you sure?" Unexpectedly, Shi Youde smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This time I will definitely sell a sky-high price. I prepared 10 million Hong Kong dollars. At the beginning, I had some confidence, but now I have no confidence." "As far as I know, many wealthy people who are stronger than me are interested in "Yongle Dadian", and people from the Eastern Han Library of the island country and the Metropolitan Museum of New York in the United States have come. These are the owners of good money. I It is estimated that this time not even 20 million won!" He does not mean that. Shi Youde''s words were like a bolt from the blue to Liu Shaoquan, his face was ugly. Seeing the changes in Liu Shaoquan¡¯s expression, Shi Youde also knew that he had thoughts about "Yongle Dadian" just like himself, but... Thinking of the identity of Wang Ping, who came with Liu Shaoquan, and Liu Shaoquan¡¯s northern accent, he probably guessed the identity of Liu Shaoquan. It''s just that he is not optimistic about Liu Shaoquan. Although the mainland is vast and rich in resources, there is really not much spare money to buy cultural relics, even if it is a national treasure like "Yongle Dadian". But although he himself would be better than Liu Shaoquan, isn''t he also at an intermediate level? "Yongle Dadian" seems to have nothing to do with me... Shi Youde, who was feeling a little upset, was immediately disappointed, and he was not in the mood to appreciate the "Yongle Dadian" anymore. He found an excuse and left the crowd. As for Liu Shaoquan and Ji Xueming, the more they watched "Yongle Dadian", the more they liked it, but they kept thinking of Shi You''s words in their minds and couldn''t help themselves. Not reconciled, Liu Shaoquan took another chance to talk to a few more wealthy people, and the answers he got were not what he wanted, and his heart became colder. After a while, the three of Wang Ping walked out of the crowd. Liu Shaoquan looked back at the glass counter that was still surrounded by the crowd. He was unwilling and confused. He spoke more directly and asked Wang Ping for help: "President Wang, you know more about Xiangjiang. Do you have any good ideas? If the national treasure is present, it really cannot be lost overseas, otherwise you and I are all sinners of China!" As soon as this big hat came out, Wang Ping''s face turned black in a moment. Everyone is at the same level, and it is your Palace Museum who wants to shoot "Yongle Dadian". What does it mean to put this hat on my Xinhua News Agency? I even entertained you personally. This is not authentic, right? PS: First, ask for recommended monthly ticket! Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 960: Breaking 100 million in 3 days to create a record Fortunately, Liu Shaoquan wasn''t really unreasonable, but he was too eager, and he didn''t pay attention to his words. After seeing Wang Ping''s unhappy look, he hurriedly apologized: "President Wang, I''m sorry, I was too excited." He said anxiously: "I mean, "Yongle Dadian" is a national treasure level cultural relic. It is rare to come out this time. If it is bought by the island country and the United States, then we will not have any chance to get it back, even if it is bought by overseas Chinese. , Then it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be lost to other places in the future." "The "Yongle Dadian" is of great significance to our cultural circles!" Ji Xueming also echoed and said: "Yes, President Wang, "Yongle Dadian" is really a national treasure, otherwise you will not report to the capital, and the above will not send us over, and a special fund of two million Hong Kong dollars has been approved. I think the above also hopes that we can bring "Yongle Dadian" back." ""Yongle Dadian" is different from ordinary cultural relics!" Seeing the true feelings revealed by the two of them, Wang Ping sighed secretly, and the unhappiness just disappeared completely. After scanning for a week, Wang Ping said to Liu Shaoquan: "Dean Liu, this is not a place for discussion. If you don''t watch it for the time being, then we will talk to the club first." Liu Shaoquan nodded hurriedly and said, "Where can I still think about it now, let''s go back to your place first. If you can buy it, you can see it in the future. It''s not too late..." After speaking, he reluctantly looked back at the location of the crowd where "Yongle Dadian" was located, and then left with Wang Ping. Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency. Seeing Wang Ping, Liu Shaoquan and Ji Xueming coming back so soon, Liu Fan asked puzzledly: "President Wang, Dean Liu, why are you back so soon?" Liu Shaoquan and Ji Xueming couldn''t help sighing, causing Liu Fan to feel a bad premonition. At this moment, Wang Ping said aloud: "Let''s go inside and sit down and talk." Soon, the group came to the reception room. After Xinhua News Agency''s second president Li Hua, Liu Shaoquan and Ji Xueming met each other, they also sat down. As soon as he sat down, Liu Shaoquan couldn''t wait to ask: "President Wang, do you have a way?" Li Hua immediately cast a questioning look at Wang Ping. Wang Ping said slowly: "President Liu, don''t worry, President Li Hua and Dr. Liu are still not clear about the situation." "After everyone understands the situation first, then brainstorm!" Liu Shaoquan calmed down his eagerness a bit, and nodded and said, "That''s the truth, President Wang, you are considerate." Wang Ping said to Li Hua and Liu Fan: "This is the situation..." Li Hua said with a clear expression: "In other words, are you going to get "Yongle Dadian" through other methods?" Liu Shaoquan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, although I also know that this is very difficult, but I still ask the two presidents to help out!" Li Hua couldn''t help but smile, and glanced at Wang Ping. This is really difficult! Li Hua said helplessly: "Dean Liu, there is nothing that can''t be done with 20 million Hong Kong dollars. How can I find a way? Even if I sell Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency, I can''t get so much money. Did the Forby auction house grab it?" "This can''t work, this is a violation of law and discipline!" Liu Shaoquan was taken aback and said quickly. Li Hua shook his head and smiled: "I''ll just make a joke." Then he said with a straight face: "This matter is still money in the final analysis, unless other people can pay to take pictures and give it to us!" Liu Shaoquan was stunned. Seeing that Li Hua didn''t seem to be joking, he frowned and said, "That''s impossible. It costs at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Who will give it to us?" Wang Ping and Li Hua looked at each other, but fell silent. Seeing the appearance of the two, Liu Shaoquan flashed an incredible thought, and a look of expectation appeared in his eyes, and asked: "President Wang, President Li, is there such a generous person in Xiangjiang?" a long time. Wang Ping said aloud: "I don''t know if there is any, but you can try it. This is the only feasible way." Li Hua went on to say: "But we are not suitable to come forward, we have to find someone with the right status." "Who is right?" Liu Shaoquan asked hurriedly. Wang Ping and Li Hua looked at each other and said the answer at the same time. "Mr. Zhuang!" ... Headquarters of Nanyang Commercial Bank. Zhuang Siping, chairman of Nanyang Commercial Bank, warmly received Wang Ping and his party. After listening to Wang Ping''s account, Zhuang Siping said without hesitation: "I have also heard about the national treasure in this world. Since the Palace Museum needs it, it is my duty!" ""Yongle Dadian" will never be taken away by foreigners in this land of Xiangjiang!" Liu Shaoquan was overjoyed, and said gratefully, "Thank you Mr. Zhuang!" Zhuang Siping smiled lightly, and said calmly: "It''s all for the motherland, how can I say thank you?" "Although my net worth cannot be among the best in Hong Kong, it is still qualified to participate in the auction of "Yongle Dadian"." Hearing that Zhuang Siping wanted to bear it, Wang Ping frowned and said, "Mr. Zhuang, are you planning to invest in the auction alone?" Zhuang Siping slightly nodded and said, "Well, President Wang don''t worry, I am not an impulsive person, and I will not do anything beyond my ability." Liu Shaoquan opened his mouth. Although he was anxious in his heart, he didn''t know how to say it. He is also a person who knows shame. Naturally, he knows that Zhuang Siping''s flamboyant sentence represents an expenditure that may exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars. This is a huge sum of money! Wang Ping shook his head and persuaded: "Mr. Zhuang, I blamed me for not making it clear just now. We don''t want you to stand alone, but we hope you will take the lead to help contact other patriotic compatriots to see if we can unite and raise funds to bid." "If you think about it, there is a lot of publicity about the "Yongle Dadian". There will definitely be many compatriots who will participate in the auction, and many of them are strong. If we compete crazily internally, it will be too unjust. Coming, there is no need to bargain the damned seller and Sotheby''s auction house." "Moreover, we don''t know how the foreign forces are determined and prepared. If the price is so high, then more people will work together. Isn''t it safer?" Zhuang Siping showed the color of thought and nodded slightly and said, "President Wang, what you said makes sense." "However, it is not advisable to contact too many people on this matter, lest the news leaks and other forces also unite. After all, "Yongle Dadian" has 122 volumes, it is difficult to guarantee that they will jointly bid and divide." "I think of a way to contact a few powerful bosses." "Thank you Mr. Zhuang!" "You''re welcome, this is what I should do." ... In the next two days, Zhuang Siping visited Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and Wang Kuancheng one by one. The three of them did not hesitate to support this kind of act. As for why we didn¡¯t find Xia Yu, one was because although Zhuang Siping and Xia Yu knew each other, but the relationship was not very close, he did not expect to find Xia Yu; the other was Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and Wang Kuancheng. A stronger boss than him, Bao Yugang and even the richest man in China, he thinks the strength of this group is sufficient. As for Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang, although they thought of Xia Yu, the leader was Zhuang Siping, and they were not sure if there were other considerations in them, and it was not easy to interfere. Anyway, there are a lot of Xia Yu helping the mainland, and there will be no big difference because of this matter. This kind of thing that Xia Yu is required to pay is not convenient for Zhuang Siping without mentioning them. It''s a pity that they didn''t know that Sotheby''s auction house had already been acquired by Xia Yu, and Xia Yu took it out for auction. Only blame Xia Yu for hiding too deeply. It seems that a huge Oolong incident is about to happen. ... Three days after the four-day Sotheby''s spring auction took place in a flash, the turnover of the three days was getting higher day by day. On the first day, the auction turnover including commissions was 42 million Hong Kong dollars, which caused a huge sensation! On the second day, the auction turnover including commissions reached a new high, reaching 46 million Hong Kong dollars! On the third day, the transaction volume climbed to a new high because of the special porcelain exhibition. Because last year, Ma Jincan, the owner of Dasheng Bank and Dasheng Real Estate, waved his hand and bought a Mingchenghua cockroach cup at a high price of 5.28 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the Chinese auction in the international art market. The record also broke the price ice trapped in the Xiangjiang art auction market for seven years, giving Huaxia art auction prices a new upward space. So this year, the porcelain market has been enthusiastically welcomed by the wealthy. After all the auction sessions on that day ended, the statistical transaction volume reached 53 million Hong Kong dollars! The turnover exceeded 100 million in three days! Reached 141 million Hong Kong dollars! Far surpassing the historical record of the total transaction volume of 83 million Hong Kong dollars created during the autumn auction last year! While causing a huge sensation, also made Ren Decheng happy from ear to ear. The most watched special of this spring''s big auction has not yet been held! The major media have predicted the total turnover of Sotheby¡¯s auction house in the spring auction, all of which are predicted to exceed 200 million Hong Kong dollars. As for whether it is 220 million or 240 million, etc., the opinions are divided, and each has its own opinions. . Dawn cuts through the darkness, and the warm sun rises from the sea level. On the morning of March 31. In the eyes of everyone, the last day of Sotheby''s spring auction has finally arrived! PS: Today I am going to update two more 7,000 words, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation, thank you! Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 961: Shocking dark horse (5000 characters Some Hong Kong rich locals who had not participated in the auction in the first three days also showed up at the auction on this day. There is only one result of the gathering of bigwigs, that is, lower pass rate and higher transaction price. After the four special sessions in the morning, the total transaction volume reached 31.2 million Hong Kong dollars! At 3:45 pm, the penultimate auction session ended with an intermission of 15 minutes. Xia Yu came down from Ren Decheng''s office upstairs to the auction hall on the second floor. The huge auction hall is densely packed with five hundred stools with backrests, and the crowd is full of human heads. No way, for ordinary auctions, even if there are more than 100 people participating, the number of people in this auction of ancient books has tripled or four times, so the originally spacious auction venue appears to be crowded. However, the people who came to the auction were rich and powerful, and the purpose was to auction the treasures, and they didn''t care about these small flaws. In addition to the seats provided for bidders in the lobby, there was also a special circle around the periphery, and some stools were placed for dozens of media reporters to sit on. Seeing the rarely seen tycoon come to the scene in person, the reporters who were fortunate enough to come are all excited, and although the last auction has not yet started, they have already pressed the shutter. Wearing sunglasses, Xia Yu walked into the hall with the flow of people, glanced around, and found many acquaintances, such as Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, and Zheng Yu in the front row. Perhaps wearing sunglasses makes it harder to be recognized. Only a few people noticed that Xia Yu came in. They smiled at Xia Yu to indicate, and Xia Yu responded with a smile. Later, Xia Yu came to Huashengshi''s side. For this auction session, Huashengshi¡¯s seat number is 65, while Xia Yu¡¯s seat number is 66. Originally, Ren Decheng wanted to arrange Xia Yu to sit in the eighth seat in the middle of the first row, but Xia Yu stopped him and directly chose the sixty-sixth, which was located in the front of the venue, but it was not particularly conspicuous. As time gradually approached the opening, all the photographers who went out to breathe or went to the bathroom returned to the arena. Cai Keming, the chief Chinese auctioneer of the Sotheby''s auction, wore a black tuxedo and came to the auction table vigorously and began to warm up with humorous words. At four o''clock, the last auction of ancient books officially began. The first lot should generally be selected carefully. The price of the transaction will affect the subsequent series of lots, so it must be attractive enough, but it must also have enough weight. Taking into account the superstitious atmosphere of Xiangjiang, especially rich people prefer to believe in Buddhism. Therefore, the first lot at Sotheby''s auction is the Five-Dynasty block-printed "Song of Diamond Sutra by Fu Da Shi of the Liang Dynasty". After introducing the information of this lot in a succinct and humorous manner, Cai Keming said: "...The Five Dynasties period printed copy of "The Diamond Sutra of Fu Da Shi of the Liang Dynasty", the starting price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, the auction begins!" As soon as Cai Keming''s voice fell, many people held placards at the venue, some held up placards, and some directly shouted the price of 300,000. The bidding is endless! "Thirty-one thousand!" "Three hundred and fifty thousand!" "Three hundred seventy thousand!" ... "Eight eight hundred and eighty thousand!" "Is there a higher price?" "The first time of eight hundred and eighty thousand...well, this gentleman quoted nine hundred thousand!" With a smile on his face, Cai Keming suddenly raised the volume to arouse everyone''s emotions. The rich man who just quoted a price of 880,000 accelerated the speed of pulling the beads in his hand. He seemed to be determined to win the "Liang Dynasty Fu Da Shi Song Diamond Sutra", his face resolutely raised the placard again, and shouted a value that would increase the atmosphere of the venue. "one million!" "The first lot in this special sale exceeded one million..." ... "One and two million... the third time!" "Boom!" With the sound of the hammer hitting the ground, it means that the price has fallen. This Five-Dynasty engraved copy of "The Diamond Sutra of Fu Da Shi of the Liang Dynasty" was bought at a price of 1.2 million. The transaction price exceeded the minimum estimate twice, which greatly excited Ren Decheng, who was watching behind the scenes. If anyone is more excited than him, it is undoubtedly the collector who provided the Five Dynasties printed copy of "Fu Da Shi Song Diamond Sutra of Liang Dynasty". This collector happily shook hands with Ren Decheng to thank him, and bluntly chose Sotheby''s auction to be his wisest choice. His choice, the future Sotheby¡¯s auction will be his first choice. ... The first lot was sold at a price twice as high as the lowest estimate, which changed the mentality of the wealthy who participated in the auction. Sure enough, the next second piece "Fifteen Volumes of Appendix Compilation of Yi Benyi", the third piece "Buddha Sutra of Maitreya Sutra", and the fourth piece...none of them went unsold, and the transaction price exceeded the lowest estimate. A lot. This situation makes the auction atmosphere more heated. Unconsciously, the auction has come to an end, the atmosphere of the venue has reached a peak, and many people are looking forward to it. Cai Keming¡¯s voice became agitated. He said loudly, ¡°Next, it¡¯s a moment of great interest. I know that all the VIPs at the scene are coming to it. For so many days, everyone knows more than me. I I won''t make any trouble!" "The Jiajing copy of "Yongle Dadian", a total of one hundred and twenty-two volumes, the starting price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, the lowest price increase of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, the auction begins!" "Boom!" The hammer was knocked down, but the scene was silent. As soon as the price of two million Hong Kong dollars came out, many people''s faces changed. Obviously, they didn''t expect the price to be so high, and the psychological plans of all those who wanted to participate in the auction were disrupted. For example, Liu Shaoquan, who came with Zhuang Siping, had a very ugly face. He did not expect that the two million Hong Kong dollars specially approved by the Ministry could only meet the lowest starting price. Even if he participated, he would only have one chance to bid. Have to bid before everyone else. Fortunately, he has a powerful help. With lingering fears and secretly rejoicing, he looked at Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and others beside him. Now I can only pin my hopes on these people! After all, the silence for a moment was only because it was too unexpected. Fortunately, the people present were not ordinary people, and they reacted quickly. Just the first person to bid made the faces of many people ugly. I saw an island nation in the sixth row holding up a placard and quoted a price with a strong island accent: "Five million!" There was a little restlessness in the venue, and some people talked about it and learned that this kid is the representative of the island nation¡¯s East Asia Library. A local Hong Kong tycoon who couldn''t see the arrogant appearance of the island people in Xiangjiang, brazenly raised a sign and said: "Six million!" "Seven million!" The representative of the East Asian Library of the island country showed firm face and immediately chased prices in a lame mandarin language, revealing the attitude of certainty. At this time, the representative of the Metropolitan Museum in New York also raised a placard and quoted in English: "7.5 million!" "7.6 million!" "Seven million eight hundred thousand!" ... The bidding boom suddenly broke out, and many rich people made bids. Although it seemed a bit chaotic, it was undeniable that many people were enthusiastic. It can be seen from the expressions of surprise on the faces of the surrounding reporters and the constant pressing of the shutter. The price soon exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Some people with insufficient strength can only clenched their fists unwillingly. At this time, some truly powerful people in the venue finally moved! "One and a half million!" This price was quoted by Malaysia''s richest man, Kuok Henian. "Eleven million!" Qiu Deba, the richest man in the star country, offered a placard. "One and a half million!" from the representative of the island country East Asia Library. "Twelve million!" Ma Jincan of Dasheng Bank offered with a placard. ... "Mr. Zhuang, are we still not bidding?" Seeing the price increase gradually, while Zhuang Siping beside him was still indifferent, Liu Shaoquan became anxious, and he asked with a nervous expression on his face. Zhuang Siping said with a smile: "Dean Liu, don''t worry, it''s less than half now, and the price will soon exceed 20 million. At that time, we won''t be too late to bid. Don''t worry, we are confident." Zhuang Siping''s calmness and calmness affected Liu Shaoquan. He settled a little bit, nodded and said, "Okay, it''s up to you, Mr. Zhuang." Time passed quickly in the fierce auction, and the auction price reached 19 million Hong Kong dollars. And this price has scared away most people, they can only watch big guys perform. Except for the East Asia Library of the Island Country and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the remaining four are all Chinese. "19.5 million!" The representative of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, USA, held up the placard again with a solemn expression, and he felt a lot of pressure on the auction to such an extent. Their bottom line is 5 million U.S. dollars, which is just over 22 million in Hong Kong dollars. The price is already high! What''s more, they prefer old European artworks and modern paintings. They don¡¯t place too much emphasis on Chinese cultural relics, or because "Yongle Dadian" is the title of the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world, let alone five million. The dollar budget, even if it is half a million dollars, they will not necessarily come out, and they will never come. "Twenty million!" Ma Jincan of Dasheng Bank gritted his teeth and quoted the last price. Then after watching Kuo Henian¡¯s offer of 20.5 million, he immediately shook his head and put down the sign with a bitter smile. He stopped following. Seeing the big collector Ma Jincan give up, and many people lamented that the competition was so fierce that the real big brothers couldn''t bear it, Zhuang Siping finally joined in and raised his placard decisively. "Twenty-one million!" "That''s Mr. Zhuang Siping from Nanyang Commercial Bank. I didn''t expect him to make a move at this time. Haven''t heard that he likes collecting antiques?" "Who knows the thoughts of the big guys, keep watching, I don''t know if there are other big guys who have not taken action yet." "Isn''t the ship king next to him? Everyone knows his wealth, he has more money than Mr. Zhuang, he doesn''t seem to have overpaid yet, right?" "Hey, it''s 22.5 million. Judging from the appearance of the Americans, it seems that you don''t intend to follow along?" ... Many people in the venue have turned into melon-eating crowds and started to gossip. When the price rose to 28 million, Qiu Deba also gave up to continue to increase the price. The competition is only between the representative of the island country East Asia Library and Zhuang Siping. "28.5 million!" The representative of the island country East Asia Library made a solemn offer. "Twenty-nine million!" Zhuang Siping didn''t change his color, and immediately followed the offer. "thirty million!" The representative of the East Asian Library of the island country gritted his teeth, showing a fierce look, and once again brazenly raised his placard. "30.5 million!" Zhuang Siping remained unmoved, and only increased the price by 500,000, which made the representative of the East Asia Library of the island country very upset. However, the island country belongs to the category of the Chinese cultural circle and is deeply influenced by the Chinese culture. The pursuit of Chinese cultural relics in the island country is not comparable to that of the Americans. Moreover, in this era, the island people are not bad for money, so although the price is already so high, the island country East Asia library The representative of can bear =, is to continue to follow. "Thirty-one million!" At this time, in seat No. 65, some uncomfortable Hua Shengshi touched Xia Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xia, are we still not bidding?" Xia Yu glanced at Zhuang Siping, and slightly nodded at the prosperity of China. The latter immediately understood. When the representative of the East Asia Library of the island nation increased the price by 500,000 again, it exceeded Zhuang Siping by 32 million. Hua Shengshi suddenly stood up and raised a sign and shouted: "35 million!" "Wow!" Hearing a burst of restlessness in the court, everyone focused on Hua Shengshi. When they discovered that it was not an already rich man, but a strange old man, many people whispered, wanting to know who this brazenly killed old man was. They actually took the shot at this time and increased the price by three million. A super dark horse properly! Didn''t you see that the representative face of the East Asia Library of the island nation is black? Even Zhuang Siping, who has been in the dark, frowned. "Mr. Zhuang, who is this person?" With sweaty palms, Liu Shaoquan asked Zhuang Siping and Bao Yugang nervously. Neither of them answered Liu Shaoquan, but continued to look back at Hua Shengshi. It''s just that unlike Zhuang Siping looking at Hua Shengshi, Bao Yugang''s gaze was fixed on the face of the young man with sunglasses sitting beside Hua Shengshi. He didn''t notice Xia Yu when Xia Yu entered the door just now, but now, based on his familiarity with Xia Yu, even if Xia Yu wears sunglasses, he still recognizes it at a glance. He looked at Hua Shengshi again and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it once in Xia Yu''s house. So Huashengshi¡¯s offer was actually instructed by Xia Yu? This is troublesome! He knows that Xia Yu''s financial resources are definitely the first in Xiangjiang. If Xia Yu wants something, no one can fight it. But Xia Yu didn''t know their plan. They were separated from Xia Yu for a while, and they couldn''t communicate with each other. What can I do? Bao Yugang recognized it, and Huo Yingdong, who was sitting next to him, recognized it too. He pulled Bao Yugang''s sleeve, and the two looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other''s eyes. "Thirty-five million for the first time!" "Is there a higher price?" Seeing that there was some chaos in the venue, but no price increase for a long time, Cai Keming immediately increased the volume and said. "Thirty-six million!" The representative of the East Asia Library of the island nation sweated on their foreheads and shouted again. Most of the people in the venue looked at Huashengshi again, and some looked at Zhuang Siping. When Zhuang Siping hadn''t made an offer yet, Hua Shengshi did not change his face, raised his placard again, and shouted loudly and powerfully: "Forty million!" "Uh..." The representative of the East Asia Library of the island country that wanted to continue to increase the fare was as if being choked, choked by Huashengshi''s offer. "Mr. Zhuang!" In the first row, Liu Shao looked anxious and shouted to Zhuang Siping in a low voice. After regaining his senses, Zhuang Siping discovered the difference between Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. He patted Liu Shaoquan¡¯s hand, and then asked Bao Yugang in a low voice, ¡°Mr. Bao, do you know this person? What is his background? Why is the bid so fierce?" Bao Yugang said to Zhuang Siping with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhuang, his background is really not small. Look at the old man wearing sunglasses on the right hand. It is Xia Yu. He should be making an offer for Xia Yu. A look of shock flashed in Zhuang Siping''s eyes, and he looked next to Hua Shengshi. Sure enough, a young man wearing sunglasses was sitting and looking closely, it really looked like Xia Yu. Realizing that someone was looking at him, Xia Yu followed his feelings and found that it was Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, and Zhuang Siping. Xia Yu smiled and nodded at them. "Sure enough, it''s him, this..." Zhuang Siping also felt a headache. "For the first time for 40 million Hong Kong dollars!" At this time, Cai Keming saw that no one offered an offer for a long time, and he began to repeat the offer. "Mr. Zhuang, shall we stop bidding?" "Who is Xia Yu? Is he rich?" Liu Shaoquan asked nervously. "It''s not an ordinary rich!" Zhuang Siping smiled bitterly at Liu Shaoquan. Then he looked at Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, and Wang Kuancheng. The expressions in his eyes were very obvious. What should he do? Add or not? If he is replaced by someone else, he is not afraid, but when the opponent is Xia Yu, then it is another matter. Xia Yu can donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars twice to build a Jiuding University, and donate 30 million Hong Kong dollars each to Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University. The shots are not generally domineering and generous. Even banks that are comparable or even stronger than his Nanyang Commercial Bank can be acquired one by one. The British-funded consortium has been swallowed by Xia Yu one after another. Xia Yu''s financial strength is obvious to all in Xiangjiang. Now Xia Yu''s face is not changing his face and raising prices on a large scale, making it clear that he will win. He doesn''t know where Xia Yu''s bottom line is, or whether there is a bottom line? "If the little devil doesn''t continue to fight, I think we''d better give up. It''s best to go to him in private after the filming. Bao Yugang suggested. "I agree with Lao Bao''s suggestion. We don''t know Xia Yu''s purpose. He doesn''t know that we are together. We won''t know when we will be heads after this fight. It will only be outsiders who pick up the bargain." Huo Yingdong said in agreement. Zhuang Siping looked at Wang Kuancheng again. Wang Kuancheng''s strength is the weakest. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After the auction is over, communicate in private. If Xia Yu is willing, then we can solve it in private. We will make up for him. If he is not willing in private, then we will fight now. If you have a bloodshed, you will lose in the end." Zhuang Siping is silent, this is indeed the truth. Contending with Xia Yu will only be unnecessary competition. "Forty million second time!" "Is there a higher price?" Cai Keming''s voice sounded again The atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense, and most of the people looked at the people from the East Asia Library of the island country and Zhuang Siping. It''s just that the people from the East Asia Library of the island country sat with a black face and apparently gave up. Liu Shaoquan also listened to the quiet conversations of Zhuang Siping, and he also knew that things had become very complicated. He turned his head and took a deep look at Hua Shengshi and Xia Yu wearing sunglasses, and then at Zhuang Siping. What responded to him was Zhuang Siping''s apologetic smile and comforting words: "Dean Liu, don''t worry, we will go to him privately after the auction is over."

"Boom!" "Papa..." As the hammer struck, the people who held their breaths completely relaxed, warm applause followed, and the reporters around frantically pressed the shutter to record this explosive picture. Cai Keming exclaimed in a passionate tone: "The 122nd volume of the Treasure No. 2888 "Yongle Dadian" finally sold for 40 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the historical auction record of Sotheby''s auction house, and also breaking the art of Xiangjiang. Auction records!" "We are all participants and witnesses of history!" "Let us congratulate Mr. 65!" "Papa..." "well said!" The applause became even more enthusiastic, sometimes mixed with applause. The reporters pressed the shutter more frantically, as if film and no money, every scene was reluctant to fall! With a gentle smile on his face, Hua Shengshi bowed slightly to thank him. At this time, Ren Decheng, who was behind the scenes, walked to the front desk, replaced Cai Keming, and said loudly into the microphone: "The four-day Sotheby''s spring auction has come to a perfect conclusion. Please take the VIPs who have successfully photographed the treasures on the third. The floor confirms and trades." "Thank you all for your great support!" "I look forward to seeing you again next time!" "Thank you!" After speaking, Ren Decheng bowed deeply. "Papa..." Subsequently, under the guidance of the security personnel, the participants in the auction exited in an orderly manner, and the incoming reporter was handled by Ren Decheng. Sotheby''s auction house set a series of records in the spring auction. As the general manager, Ren Decheng naturally has a lot of news hot spots, second only to the booming age of 40 million Hong Kong dollars. Let¡¯s talk about Xia Yu, who came out in a low-key manner, let Hua Shengshi respond to those rich and powerful who came to congratulate him, and also promoted the Kowloon Cultural Museum. When Xia Yu first came out, he unexpectedly found someone beckoning to him. He fixed his eyes and found that it was Bao Yugang. But the person next to Bao Yugang made him feel a sudden, because he saw Zhuang Siping, it seems that Bao Yugang is with Zhuang Siping? The strangeness did not show, Xia Yu showed a warm smile and strode towards Bao Yugang. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Wang, good afternoon!" "Good afternoon, Mr. Xia!" Xia Yu shook hands with the four people and greeted each other, then looked at Liu Shaoquan who looked like a scholar and asked with a smile. "Excuse me, this gentleman?" Liu Shaoquan, who had thoughts in his heart, filled with enthusiastic smiles, and shook hands with Xia Yu and said, "Hello Mr. Xia, I am Liu Shaoquan, from the capital, and I am the dean of the Palace Museum." Xia Yu suddenly understood, and somehow knew why Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and others were together. He secretly said that there was some trouble in his heart. It''s just that he looks as usual, smiles and greets: "It turned out to be Dean Liu, lucky to meet!" At this time, Huashengshi simply answered two questions and promised to be interviewed again when he came out. After dismissing the reporter, he walked out of the auction hall and was about to walk up the stairs to the third floor to meet the "Yongle" Dadian. I don''t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but Zhuang Siping was near the stairs. Therefore, Huashengshi inevitably came to Zhuang Siping, Xia Yu and others. Hua Shengshi also noticed Zhuang Siping and recognized the opponent who was just now, but the hot gaze beside Zhuang Siping made him a little uncomfortable. However, Xia Yu was here, and he was not happy to leave. He was not afraid of something, so he walked to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, shall I go up first?" At this time, Zhuang Siping immediately asked: "Mr. Xia, do you know each other?" Xia Yu smiled calmly and nodded, and generously introduced to them: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Hua Shengshi, the owner of the Kowloon Cultural Museum." "Old Hua, this is Mr. Zhuang Siping, chairman of Nanyang Commercial Bank." "You should have met Mr. Bao and Mr. Huo." "This is Mr. Wang Kuancheng, chairman of Wei Dahua Group." "This is Mr. Liu Shaoquan, the director of the Palace Museum." Hua Shengshi smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one. Although everyone said it was good, Zhuang Siping and Liu Shaoquan were in a bad mood. Just because the name of Huashengshi is the owner of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. Still Zhuang Siping asked, "Mr. Hua, I have been in Xiangjiang for so long, and I have only heard that there is a fragrance in Kowloon. I don''t know where your museum is?" Hua Shengshi smiled and replied: "Mr. Zhuang hasn''t heard of it. It''s normal, because our museum will be open to the public in a few days. The address is near Kowloon Bay in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon." Zhuang Siping asked again: "Then your museum was built by the Hong Kong government or?" With that said, he looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled calmly: "Mr. Zhuang, this museum is my private museum and has nothing to do with the Hong Kong government." "The day after tomorrow, which is April 3, is the opening day of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. I originally planned to post an invitation to you tomorrow. Now that I met, I will tell you in person that I will send the invitation later. ." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Bao Yugang who was listening to the side laughed loudly: "A Yu, I didn''t expect you to secretly build a museum. Congratulations, I will be there the day after tomorrow!" "I must be there too!" Huo Yingdong also said with a smile. Wang Kuancheng and Zhuang Siping smiled and said hello, but their smiles seemed a little reluctant, but their hopes were greatly reduced. Liu Shaoquan also realized that hope was gradually diminishing, but he was not reconciled! So he directly asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, is the 122 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" yours now?" Xia Yu nodded: "Yes!" Liu Shaoquan immediately asked again: "I have an unrelenting request. I wonder if I can transfer the national treasure to the Palace Museum? We will compensate you with the money. What do you think?" After speaking, Liu Shaoquan looked straight at Xia Yu with anticipation in his eyes. Xia Yu''s smile gradually faded, looked at Liu Shaoquan, then looked at Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and others. Xia Yu has some inconvenience to say, Huasheng Shi will not have any scruples. "Yongle Dadian" is his heart and soul, and it is theirs. When it is put out for auction, it is a cutscene, and he will not be taken out if he is killed, even if the opponent is the Palace Museum! If before meeting Xia Yu, the Palace Museum found him and asked him to donate his entire treasure pavilion, he would readily agree. But now is different. Since he is in charge of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, he will only find a way to hug the good things at home, how can he send them out again? In order to build the Kowloon Cultural Museum well, he secretly made up his mind to be an iron cock. Not even if it is the Palace Museum now! Therefore, he immediately spoke out and said resolutely: "Dean Liu, it is difficult for you to be strong. Our museum will open the day after tomorrow. I just announced in the lobby that the "Yongle Dadian" for auction will belong to the Kowloon Cultural Museum. If the treasure of the town hall is transferred to you, the sign of our museum will be smashed without standing up!" "For this museum, Mr. Xia invested more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars back and forth, and now he has taken "Yongle Dadian" as the treasure of the town hall at any cost. The purpose is to build a world-class museum for Xiangjiang and spread Chinese culture. Establishing the cultural confidence of Xiangjiang people and Southeast Asian Chinese, and creating a landmark tourist attraction for Xiangjiang, driving the tourism and economic development of Xiangjiang. This is a matter of benefiting Hong Kong and the people. The layout is very large. It is impossible to let us just because of you. Isn¡¯t your plan ruined?" Hearing Huashengshi''s sonorous and powerful words, everyone present was all moved, but there was such an inside story unexpectedly. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have lost the thought of speaking for Liu Shaoquan. It is not that they are not patriotic, but that Xia Yu himself is also for national justice. Although they have a heart for the motherland, after all, they are overseas and are regarded as overseas Chinese. One of the leaders must also be considered for overseas Chinese. They have to support the Kowloon Cultural Museum. There are so many national treasures in the Palace Museum. It already has the "Yongle Dadian". There are not a few that are comparable to the "Yongle Dadian". There are not many more items, but the Kowloon Cultural Museum does not necessarily have many. Well said, there must be a treasure of the town hall! Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s mentality changed drastically, and Wang Kuancheng and Zhuang Siping also knew that there was little hope. Seeing that Liu Shaoquan''s face was very ugly and the atmosphere at the scene was so embarrassing, Xia Yu said: "There are more people here, let''s find a place to sit down and talk slowly." "Okay, Mr. Xia, listen to your arrangements!" Later, Xia Yu let people find Ren Decheng, and Ren Decheng arranged for an assistant to lead Xia Yu and the others to a large reception room on the fourth floor. Sotheby''s auction house staff immediately provided fruit and tea. Before Xia Yu spoke, Zhuang Siping said: "Mr. Xia, can you please let me explain the situation first?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "Of course." He said and made a please gesture. Zhuang Siping pondered for a moment. After finishing his thoughts, he slowly said: "This is how it is, the news of the national treasure "Yongle Dadian" has spread to the mainland..." Zhuang Siping vividly described how Liu Shaoquan sought funds from the ministry, and then came to Xiangjiang with a mission, and how to find them... "Originally, when we came, we decided to shoot "Yongle Dadian" at all costs, but we learned that Mr. Hua is yours, so we thought it was not cheap for outsiders, so we thought of discussing it with you in private. Participate in the auction, that¡¯s it now." After Zhuang Siping finished speaking impartially, he looked at Liu Shaoquan. Liu Shaoquan said immediately: "Mr. Xia, the "Yongle Dadian" is a national treasure. It was originally hidden in the Forbidden City, but a large part was lost when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. Then, the situation before the founding of the country was chaotic and another part was lost. "Yongle Dadian" is the whole of China. If the precious wealth of the nation is left overseas, it will be a pity for the entire nation." After talking Liu Shaoquan looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu said to Liu Shaoquan with a serious expression: "Dean Liu, I can assure you with my personality that "Yongle Dadian" will never appear in other places when it enters the Kowloon Cultural Museum!" Liu Shaoquan suddenly became anxious: "But Xia..." Xia Yu immediately raised his voice and said, "Dean Liu, your worries are superfluous. This one hundred and twenty-two volumes of "Yongle Dadian" are the same whether they are in the Palace Museum or the Kowloon Cultural Museum. They have not been lost overseas. On the land of China!" "In Xiangjiang is in China!" In the last nine words, Xia Yu said loudly. The entire reception room was completely quiet in an instant, and the needle dropped!

Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 963: 250 million! Liu Shaoquan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he felt that before Xia Yu''s words, everything he said seemed pale and weak, and there was no reason for it! Many things are right or wrong and need time to verify. But one thing can be directly distinguished, and that is whether it is politically correct or not. The last eight words of Xia Yu are politically correct. He cannot and cannot overthrow it! Even Zhuang Siping and Wang Kuancheng, who were granted positions by the mainland, did not hold any hope at all and could only lament Liu Shaoquan in their hearts. Bao Yugang said in his unique loud voice: "Dean Liu, A Yu is right. Xiangjiang is the land of China, and "Yongle Dadian" is the same in Xiangjiang and in the country." "And you can rest assured that since A Yu has promised that he will not transfer the "Yongle Dadian", then he can do what he says, I can guarantee him!" Xia Yu greeted Bao Yugang with a smile. Liu Shaoquan smiled reluctantly, nodded and said, "Mr. Xia is right. In Hong Kong, it is also in China. I believe that Mr. Xia can do what he says, otherwise his career won''t be so big!" "Moreover, I have to apologize for my words. I made a mistake. Please forgive me!" With that, he bowed and apologized to Xia Yu and Hua Shengshi. "Dean Liu, you don''t have to be like this. You are also patriotic and passionate. How could it be wrong to love the motherland and the nation!" Xia Yu quickly avoided and held him up, and said with a smile. Liu Shaoquan was in a better mood and responded with a smile to Xia Yu. Then he looked at Zhuang Siping and bowed again to thank you: "Mr., I also sincerely thank you. It is you who made me truly appreciate the patriotic passion of overseas compatriots. !" Zhuang Siping also responded politely one by one. For a while, the atmosphere in the reception room gradually eased. Liu Shaoquan also figured it out, although he, as the dean of the Palace Museum, could not bring back the "Yongle Dadian", he would certainly regret it. But fortunately, the worst such as "Yongle Dadian" being bought by foreigners did not happen, and the national treasure remained in Xiangjiang. Moreover, with Xia Yu''s last words, he can also go back to deal with him, and the leaders of the ministry will definitely not blame anything. But now that he is here in Xiangjiang, Liu Shaoquan is not reconciled if he doesn''t take a look at the one hundred and twenty-two volumes of "Yongle Dadian" that the Palace Museum does not have. He asked: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know these days, can I read these "Yongle Dadian"?" This request is not difficult, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Of course it¡¯s okay. Dean Liu might as well stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days. In addition to the "Yongle Dadian" just photographed, the Kowloon Cultural Museum also has nearly 12,000 pieces. Although the antique cultural relics are far inferior to the Palace Museum, there should be many that you have never seen." Liu Shaoquan was shocked, his eyes widened and said, "There are nearly 12,000 cultural relics?" "Then of course I have to take a good look!" Huo Yingdong and others were also surprised. Huo Yingdong sighed and said, "A Yu, I didn''t expect you to have collected so many antiques, amazing!" Bao Yugang also sighed and said, "Yes, I built a museum quietly. Ligang and the people are really a role model for my generation!" Zhuang Siping nodded in agreement: "There are twelve million cultural relics, which can easily surpass the original museums in Xiangjiang. We overseas Chinese have another good place to learn about Chinese culture." "Everyone, don''t hold me so high, I just do what I can." Xia Yu said modestly. Then Xia Yu looked at Huashengshi again and said with a smile: "Old Hua, after shipping the "Yongle Dadian" back later, I have to trouble you to entertain Dean Liu." Liu Shaoquan is no longer threatened, and Huashengshi will naturally no longer face evil faces. After responding, he looked at Liu Shaoquan with a kind smile, and proactively stretched out his hand and said: "Dean Liu, I was a little bit aggressive just now. Please don''t be offended. You can look for me these days." "No blame, no blame, I have to trouble you these days, let''s communicate more." Liu Shaoquan shook hands with Hua Shengshi and smiled kindly. ... Afterwards, Hua Shengshi was going to ship back the filmed "Yongle Dadian", but Liu Shaoquan couldn''t bear it and suggested that he want to go together. Xia Yu had no objection. In this way, other people also went with shouts. When going out, Hua Shengshi went out alone to deal with reporters who were guarding outside, while Xia Yu and Zhuang Siping went out through other exits. That night, Xia Yu was the host and hosted a banquet for Zhuang Siping, Liu Shaoquan and others at the Marco Polo Hotel on Hong Kong Island. Wang Ping, Li Hua, Ji Xueming and others who were not at the auction were also picked up. In the evening, the guests enjoyed themselves! On that night, Global Satellite TV''s "30 Minutes of News" reported on the Sotheby''s auction, which caused a huge sensation. The name of the Kowloon Cultural Museum was first seen by millions of families in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. By the next morning, all newspapers, including Jiuding Newspapers, reported relevant news frantically, and all the news was related to yesterday''s Sotheby''s auction. "Sotheby''s spring auction turnover exceeded 250 million, making history! "-"Jiuding Daily" front-page news, the picture is a series of enlarged figures, it is the total turnover. "The Kowloon Cultural Museum throws 40 million to defeat the islanders, just to keep the national treasure! "-"Fengyun Daily" front page news. "Nine Dragons! Xiangjiang adds another top museum! "-"Sing Tao Daily" "The Big Secret! ! ! The true strength of the Kowloon Cultural Museum! ! ! "-"Everyday Daily" "Single day turnover breaks 100 million yuan, Sotheby''s crazy day! "¡ª¡ª"Nanyang Commercial Daily" ... The newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper have a huge advantage. The detailed information of the Kowloon Cultural Museum is only presented in the newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper. People who are curious about the Kowloon Cultural Museum can only learn about the newspapers of the Jiuding Newspaper. Sales of Jiuding Daily¡¯s "Jiuding Daily", "Fengyun Daily" and "Tiantian Daily" all rose sharply. Many people who have read the newspaper are looking forward to Saturday, April 3rd. They want to see what "Yongle Dadian" looks like, which is worth 40 million Hong Kong dollars! Xia Yu also received calls from big guys from all walks of life. MacLehose called Xia Yu to congratulate him and said that he would be there to witness the opening of the Kowloon Cultural Museum that day. A large number of simple and elegant special invitations that have been prepared long ago were also sent out by a large number of employees according to the list. It wasn''t until twelve o''clock that the phone ring finally didn''t ring, and Xia Yu picked up his clothes and prepared to go home. In the car, he finally had time to watch Ren Decheng''s report to him. Yesterday, as reported by the Nanyang Commercial Daily, the turnover exceeded 100 million in a single day. The exact number is 111 million! The total turnover in the morning was 31.2 million, the first in the afternoon was 11 million, and the second was 9.2 million. In the afternoon, the last auction of ancient books had a turnover of 57.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which was more than that in the past three days. Even excluding the 40 million turnover of "Yongle Dadian", other ancient books were sold for 17.8 million Hong Kong dollars. The reason why it is so high is because of the light of "Yongle Dadian". The transaction price of many ancient books far exceeds the lowest estimate. Of course, it is undeniable that many of the auction items are Buddhist scriptures, Taoism and other fine works, and most of the big players who participate in the auction are people of faith, so they don''t hesitate to bid high prices. Closer to home. Sotheby¡¯s spring auction totaled 42 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, 46 million Hong Kong dollars on the second day, 53 million Hong Kong dollars on the third day, and 111 million Hong Kong dollars on the fourth day. Millions of Hong Kong dollars. The total turnover in the four days is 252 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the commission, they are charged separately from the buyer and the seller. Since Christie¡¯s Auctions began to charge buyers a 10% commission in 1975, Sotheby¡¯s Auctions followed up and has not adjusted it. For sellers, they are charged stepwise according to the transaction price. After four days, the total commission collected was 42.93 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 523%! Excluding various publicity and operating costs, Xiangjiang Forbes Auctions has obtained a net profit of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in this spring auction, exceeding the net profit of last year! For this result, Xia Yu is still very satisfied. And he was relieved about the future prospects of Xiangjiang Forbes Auction House. This spring auction thoroughly established a reputation for Sotheby''s auction house, and the reputation of Sotheby''s auction house has spread throughout Southeast Asia, whether it is ordinary people or the rich. in this way. Not to mention that Christie''s auction house hasn''t settled in Xiangjiang yet, even if it does, he has to be a brother honestly and rubbed against the ground by Sotheby''s auction house. In the evening, Global Satellite TV specially invited Huashengshi to be a guest in the live broadcast room, and spent an hour interviewing Huashengshi face-to-face, and the ratings soared. The audience applauded the policy that Huashengshi promised to open the museum free of charge for one week, and they began to wonder about taking their family to visit the museum when that time comes. On April 2nd, while other newspapers were still speculating about the Kowloon Cultural Museum and Sotheby¡¯s Auction House. A piece of international news from "Fengyun Daily" shocked the entire Southeast and East Asia, and "Fengyun Daily" was hard to find!

Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 964: Reagan assassinated "The new US President Ronald Wilson Reagan was assassinated! ¡· This is the headline on the front page of "Fengyun Daily" today. The title is not a general one. Whoever reads the title will want to know the details. Therefore, even after the temporary revision, the Jiuding Printing Factory has deployed various printing lines for crazy printing since 4 o''clock in the morning, and the "Fengyun Daily" is still sold out, and the reordering calls at various sales points have never stopped. Who made the entire Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Macau now only the "Fengyun Daily" reported this news? Exclusive mega news represents hot sales! Early in the morning, Xia Yu got the newspaper after practicing and saw the headline of Fengyun Daily. As for the special channel news of Jiuding News Agency, because it was late at night when I got it, it was when a person fell asleep the deepest, Yan Wenhan did not dare to disturb Xia Yu¡¯s rest, so he asked the delivery staff to put it in Xia with the newspaper early in the morning. In the mailbox of the house. So what is now on Xia Yu''s desk is the special news from today''s "Fengyun Daily" newspaper and Jiuding News Agency. After Xia Yu glanced at the headline of the newspaper, he immediately opened the envelope, took out the detailed information, and looked at it seriously. The source of the news is a reporter from the Washington District of Jiuding News Agency and a reporter from USA Today. After work on the afternoon of April 1, New York time. The new U.S. President Ronald Reagan, U.S. Secretary of Education Terrell Bell, White House Spokesperson James Brady, bodyguards and others went to the University of the District of Columbia to give speeches, and used that occasion to announce a government research and development plan. New education reform policy. The speech ended at about 3:20 in the afternoon. Then Ronald Reagan and others were preparing to leave. Just when they left the school gate, they were shot. The assailant fired six consecutive shots in 1.8 seconds. The president of the University of the District of Columbia, Joseph Dillabell, who accompanied Ronald Reagan out, was hit by a bullet in the heart and fell to the ground instantly. White House Spokesperson James Brady was hit by a bullet in the head and was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital for rescue. U.S. Secretary of Education Terrell Bell was shot in the thigh, but fortunately he did not injure the bones and arteries. Ronald Reagan''s bodyguard covered him for the first time, blocked a shot for him, and was shot in the chest and died instantly. Ronald Lee, who was covered by another bodyguard, was fortunately not injured. As for the assassins, they were knocked down by agents in the crowd and captured alive, and were secretly taken away for protection and interrogation. As for more detailed information, such as the assassin''s information, the motive of the assassin, the gun information, and the real situation behind each injured person, they have not yet come out. However, reporters from Jiuding News Agency are already following closely. Xia Yu can completely imagine that Washington is now the center of the storm in the entire United States, and the American public is turbulent. After all, Ronald Reagan won the president-elect with an overwhelming victory, pinning the hope of the American people. The KND was killed before. The American people are already very sensitive to such incidents. Now that the president was shot, how could the American people not be concerned? As for the US government, especially the intelligence and security departments, the pressure is even greater. It is thinking of solving the case as soon as possible and giving the president and the public a proper account. I thought it was around seven o''clock in the morning in Hong Kong time, and it should be around seven or eight in the evening in Washington, USA. Xia Yu first called Rhodes Saxon via satellite phone and asked him to find a way to get the phone number of Ronald Reagan¡¯s current location. After Rhodes Saxon called back to inform the number, Xia Yu dialed the number. After waiting for more than twenty seconds, the call was connected. "Mr. Reagan, good evening, I am your good friend Xia Yu." "I just woke up here at 7:30 in the morning and learned what happened to you. I am glad that you are safe and sound..." "...You don''t need to say thank you, it''s because you have enough vigilance, otherwise it will be useless for me to remind you." "...Okay, then you have a good rest, this is my personal phone, call me if something happens, goodbye!" Ten minutes later, Xia Yu hung up the phone, he shook his head and sighed the magic of fate, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. During the call, Ronald Reagan expressed his gratitude to Xia Yu more than once. Even if he communicated over half of the earth, Xia Yu could still hear the sincerity and lingering fear in Ronald Reagan¡¯s tone. It can be said that today''s assassination really scared Ronald Reagan. If it were not for his personal bodyguard to block the gun for him, then he would be the one who was shot, and the probability of death is particularly high. Under normal circumstances, when the president appears in public, he mainly relies on secret agents to eliminate risks in advance. Even if there are personal security personnel, they will not be very close. Historically, when Ronald Reagan was assassinated at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel, security personnel were separated a little bit. When Ronald Reagan passed the crowd, he was shot by someone and almost died. It¡¯s just that after being instigated by Xia Yu¡¯s butterfly wings in this life, Ronald Reagan did not go to the Hilton Hotel to meet with the head of the union group, but was shot at different times when he came out at the University of the District of Columbia. However, Xia Yu remembered the news announced in his previous life, revealing that after Ronald Reagan was elected in November 1980, the murderer specially bought a pistol and planned to whistle on Reagan. This kind of premeditated thing is really difficult to change. The perpetrator''s target is a presidential person, and the purpose is to attract the attention of a crushed woman, so it is difficult to be affected. Of course, whether the truth of the matter is this or other, no one can tell, even if it is an impeccable fact, who can guarantee that it is not a carefully planned matter? So regarding the news learned in the previous life, Xia Yu just read it as gossip news. In this life, Ronald Reagan escaped this catastrophe. The achievements of Xia Yu''s hard work in the United States have not been in vain. ¡­¡­ That evening, the major evening papers also rushed to report relevant news. But it is still the newspaper of Jiuding Newspaper. No way, who made other newspapers not spread their editorial channels to the United States? Even though many newspapers have purchased the services of Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding newspapers always have slightly different news. And because the media purchases the news service of Jiuding News Agency, they also need to write that it is from Jiuding News Agency, and users have already understood the mystery. When spending the same money, they naturally choose to publish with Jiuding News Agency. A newspaper of the Jiuding newspaper department. Saturday, April 3, with a clear sky, is a good day to go out. Despite this day, follow-up reports on Ronald Reagan''s assassination practice dominate public opinion hotspots. But the news about the official opening of the Kowloon Cultural Museum is still very hot. This morning, there was a crowd of people outside the Kowloon Heritage Museum, and the people waiting to enter the venue crowded to the side of the road, causing traffic jams in Kwun Tong. Before the opening, Xia Yu personally showed up, and McLehose also personally attended the scene. Many big brothers from Xiangjiang came to the scene to celebrate the opening of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. If something goes wrong, Xiangjiang will be shaken. . Therefore, Xia Yu mobilized all the spare forces of Aegis security, and cooperated with the Hong Kong Police Department to do the security work on the scene. At the same time, there are also very strict requirements for admission. Twenty entrances are fenced outside the main gate. Tickets are limited to admission according to the actual situation in the hall. The ticket is still a double ticket, not only has a unique number on the ticket. , Each ticket must also register the name of the holder. Although this increases the workload, it can also dispel some people''s careful thinking, and it is better than safety. By the way, the scene was crowded with people. If the number of people entering is not controlled, Xia Yu suspects that the museum will be crowded. Although the current limit method has caused many people to wait and scold the street, or even run for nothing, he can''t control that much. The tourists can only blame themselves for coming too late. When the museum closed that evening, the staff counted that a total of 11,231 people were admitted to the Kowloon Cultural Museum in one day. During the day and at night, Global Satellite TV focused on the opening of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. The true situation of the Kowloon Cultural Museum also began to spread through the entry of more than 10,000 people. The results of an interview with a Global Satellite TV reporter showed that apart from the difficulty of entering the venue, which made people complain, everything in the museum made the citizens who entered feel very satisfied and shocked. In short, the Kowloon Heritage Museum became a hit! PS: Sorry, I worked late for overtime, my head is big, my head is like paste, I can''t turn it around. This chapter is over for a while, it¡¯s gone today, everyone rest early. v3 Chapter 965: Yuen Long District Investigation On the first day of the opening of the Kowloon Museum, there were a lot of big names. For the sake of security, there was a big limit on the number of admissions, and a lot of time was wasted in the morning, but even so, it still received 11,230 A tourist. On the next Sunday, there were no big bosses present, and the Kowloon Heritage Museum had a smaller limit on the number of admissions. As a result, it received more than 20,000 tourists that day. Although the hall was crowded, the acceptance limit was not reached. According to the design when the museum was built, the maximum number of daily visitors to the Kowloon Cultural Museum is 60,000, and the reasonable number is about 340,000. It''s just that the Kowloon Cultural Museum has just opened to the outside world after all, and the management must be relatively rusty. For the sake of safety, it is impossible to completely open it. May be in operation for half a year or a year, the Kowloon Cultural Museum will consider reducing the number of receptions to a minimum. Of course, the premise is that there were enough enthusiastic tourists at that time, and the Kowloon Cultural Museum was still attractive enough for tourists. I have heard of Xia Yu in his previous life. The National Palace Museum, which is similar in size to the Kowloon Cultural Museum, has set a record of 120,000 visitors a day at its peak! I wonder if the Kowloon Cultural Museum will have such a day, maybe it will not. After all, the Palace Museum is not only backed by 1.3 billion people, but also attracts tourists from all over the world... The third to seventh days of free opening are working days, so the passenger flow has dropped dramatically, but even so, the number of visitors per day exceeds 10,000. Waited until the eighth day, which was also Saturday. Open for free one week after the first day of charge. Even if the Ch¨¦ng R¨¦n ticket is ten Hong Kong dollars, and children are half-price five Hong Kong dollars, it still cannot stop the public''s enthusiasm for the sky-high price of 40 million Hong Kong dollars. The number of receptions reached 23,228 on that day, and the ticket revenue reached more than 260,500 Hong Kong dollars. In the Wellcome Supermarket and 7-11 convenience store outside the Kowloon Cultural Museum, the combined daily turnover exceeds 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. A street built by Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has long been rented out by brothers, but all other shops have been rented out, and various catering and consumption shops appeared. A large landmark museum directly drove the rise of a small business district. ¡­¡­ April 11, Sunday. Xia Yu, who should have been resting at home, took Li Qian to Lau Fau Shan, Ha Village Township, Yuen Long District, New Territories. And there is no one else beside him, it is Hong Kong Governor MacLehose and his wife Mak Tang Li Ting. Other than that, the security personnel brought by Xia Yu and MacLehose were all nearby. The reason why I came here today is because McLehose invited him to discuss privately with Xia Yu about the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park in the name of going out on a non-working day. Again, although MacLehose is the Governor of Hong Kong and the construction and planning of Hong Kong are his rights, Xia Yu''s social status is extraordinary, and this plan was also proposed by Xia Yu, and Xia Yu will also be a technology The main force in the construction of the industrial park, MacLehose still wanted to ventilate Xia Yu privately, so as not to change the policy again and again after it came out. "Mr. Xia, we are here now, how do you think the science and technology industrial park is built here?" While selling Deng Liting and pulling Li Qian to chat, MacLehose pointed to the location on the map and said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu carefully looked at the roughly delineated location of MacLehose, combined with the impression in his mind, and said with a smile: "Mr. Governor, your choice is wise. I think this place should be the most suitable place to establish an industrial park." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu raised his head and looked at the endless undeveloped wilderness in front of him, with satisfaction in his eyes. Zhengsuo Xia Yu said that this is indeed the most suitable place to establish an industrial park. In Xia Yu''s original expectation, the most suitable place for industrial development in the New Territories is Yuen Long District, followed by Tai Po District, which now has a large industrial park, but the specific location of the planned science and technology industrial park is not provided. Suggest. After all, the total area of ??Yuen Long District is 138 square kilometers, which is three times the area of ??Kowloon and 1.8 times the area of ??Hong Kong Island. A science and technology industrial park simply cannot use such a large area. Think about the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan Province. The planned area is only 21 square kilometers. It seems that more than 60,000 square kilometers will be developed and utilized in later generations. Get back to the subject. Yuen Long can be said to be the oldest one of the eighteen local administrative regions of Hong Kong. It is the northwestern district of the eighteen districts of Hong Kong. It is located in the northwest of the New Territories. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a flat terrain, reaching Chau Tau in the east. It is adjacent to Ma Tso Lung in the North District, to Hung Shui Kiu in the south, and is connected to Lam Tei in Tuen Mun District. Yuen Long is a plain. It turned out to be a continuous farmland. In the mountainous Xiangjiang, there is only this flat and broad plain. In ancient times, it was a rural gathering place dominated by fishermen and farmers. Or raise fish in fish ponds for a living. Although Yuen Long District has a long history that can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, Yuen Long District seems to be a well-known backward area in Xiangjiang, synonymous with slum areas. Tin Shui Wai and Nam Sang Wai are in Yuen Long District. Here, the traffic is extremely lagging, the development rate is very low, and most of the areas are fields, fish ponds or wilderness. In terms of internal administrative divisions, Yuen Long District consists of Xia Village Township, Ping Shan Township, Shap Pat Township, Kam Tin Township, Pat Township, and Xintian Township. The well-known Nan Shengwei is in Shiba Township, and Tin Shui Wai is in Pingshan Township. The place where Xia Yu and others are currently located is Xia Cun Township in the southwest of Yuen Long District. Xia Yu¡¯s not-so-important flattery also made MacLehose happy. He smiled and said: ¡°Although the area of ??Yuen Long Plain is large enough, the reason for choosing this place is that it is adjacent to Tuen Mun district. There are many aspects. Advantage." "The population of Tuen Mun District is close to 400,000, and there is the Castle Peak Power Plant in the south of Tuen Mun District, and the Lung Kwu Tan Power Plant under construction in the west. Tuen Mun District can guarantee the power supply and human resources for the Science and Technology Industrial Park." "Oh, I remember that both the Qingshan Power Plant and the Longgutan Power Plant were built and operated by your power company?" Looking at MacLehose smiling and looking at herself, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I remember so." "By the way, Mr. Governor, how much area does the Hong Kong government plan to build this science and technology industrial park?" Faced with the question of Xia Yu, MacLehose did not conceal: "There is no final conclusion within the Hong Kong government. The key is that it is impossible to determine how many companies can be attracted." "This science and technology industrial park was proposed by you, Mr. Xia, and the most advanced station must be your company. Do you have a more detailed view on the planning of this park?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment asked McLehose: "Mr. Governor, you should know the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan Province, right?" MacLehose nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, it is the first science and technology industrial park in Taiwan. I remember the planned area has reached 21 square kilometers." Speaking of this, McLehose raised his brows and said: "Are you suggesting that the Hong Kong Science and Technology Industrial Park should be in line with the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan Province?" Xia Yu shook his head and smiled: ¡°Mr. Governor, it¡¯s not like Hsinchu Science Park. My suggestion is to go beyond it, because compared with Hsinchu Science Park¡¯s industrial positioning, Xiangjiang¡¯s industrial positioning and planning are broader.¡± "The Hsinchu Science and Technology Park imitates the Silicon Valley of the United States, positioning itself as the electronic semiconductor industry, and aims to build the Silicon Valley of Taiwan Province." "But our Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park is positioned in the electronic high-tech, heavy machinery manufacturing and petrochemical industries." "The petrochemical industry chain centered on oil refineries and the heavy machinery manufacturing industry chain dominated by automobile manufacturing all have a great demand for land. If our Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park has the same area as the Hsinchu Science and Technology Industrial Park, then develop It¡¯s not going to be great at the beginning, but later, the area shortcomings of the industrial park will become prominent." "But if you want to expand until that time, the cost will be much higher than the current state of the wilderness." "Even then, because of the development of the industrial park, the surrounding residential areas will be built, making it impossible to expand." "So my suggestion is to plan as much as possible from the beginning." PS: I worked overtime late, I was really helpless, I wrote a chapter until half past two, I can¡¯t hold it anymore, go to sleep v3 Chapter 966: Intend to benefit others Xia Yu''s words caused MacLehose to fall into deep thought. Xia Yu smiled and waited, looking at the distant fields from time to time. The lower the degree of development here, the more satisfied he is. Because this means that there is less resistance to the construction of the science and technology industrial park, and the construction cost is also lower. The science and technology industrial park can be completed faster and get on track. For his grand strategy, there are many benefits. After a while, MacLehose recovered. He said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, what you said is reasonable. As long as you can bring in enough companies, you can plan a larger science and technology industrial park, but if it wants to surpass the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, then Xiacun Township alone not enough." Speaking of this, MacLehose paused, pointed his finger on the map, and continued: "Xiacun Township is already on the coast to the west and mountains to the east, so I can only go north or south." "To the south is Tuen Mun District. There will be great hidden dangers in the construction and management of the industrial park across the district, and the terrain is not as flat as the Yuen Long District, with many hills. To the north is Ping Shan Township, with Tian Shui Wai as the center and the Shajiang River. If natural villages with large populations such as Weiwei, Fengjiawei, and Wangjing Village want to expand the science and technology industrial park, these enclosed villages must be relocated, which is too difficult to implement." "Mr. Xia, it''s not that I don''t support your plan, but the reality is too restrictive." MacLehose¡¯s tone is very sincere. He really wants to develop Xiangjiang well and benefit the people of Xiangjiang. Otherwise, at the end of his political career, there is no need for him to make a big fight and support Xia Yu to build such a technology industrial park. He also knows very well that if this technology industrial park is successfully established, it will benefit Hong Kong for at least 50 years. But this achievement is likely to be sent to the mainland, and many people in the British political circle are unwilling to see this happening. Although there are also factors that strengthen the British influence on Xiangjiang, he is still willing to do such a thing when it is very likely to make wedding dresses for the mainland, which shows that he is indeed worthy of the citizens of Xiangjiang. Xia Yu also considered this actual problem. Except for the Yuen Long District, even in the Tai Po District, if you want to build a science and technology industrial park comparable to the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, you can barely do it, but if you want to surpass, conditions do not allow it. So if Xia Yu wants to realize his own ideas, he must face the two problems raised by McLehose. Either expand to the south and include parts of the Tuen Mun district. As long as the Hong Kong government is tough enough and implements his recommendations based on the experience of later generations, there are ways to solve the risks of cross-district construction and jurisdiction. But the more difficult thing is that there are many hills, and these hills must be flattened, and the amount of construction is too great. Xia Yu knew in his heart that the Hong Kong government did not have the financial resources to do this, and it took too long. After all, this was to move the mountains away. If it expands to the north, the natural village dominated by Tianshuiwei will become a huge obstacle, and most of the villagers¡¯ houses will have to be demolished. The best way is to choose a spot to concentrate the scattered population. Although the Hong Kong government has now put forward a plan to develop the new town of Tin Shui Wai, it is also limited by the financial strength of the Hong Kong government, and there is still nothing to do. The villagers in Tin Shui Wai are disappointed with the government. And the Cheung Kong Industrial Group and several other companies that have already entered the market also don''t have the strength and energy to develop for the time being, and can only shelve it. The population relocation problem of these natural villages cannot be solved. Villagers will naturally not allow the Hong Kong government to take over their fields smoothly. Vicious incidents such as conflicts and obstruction will definitely occur one after another. Fortunately, in order to firmly hold the political interests of the land in its hands, the Hong Kong Government has specially formulated a policy that stipulates that in addition to every male, the indigenous people of the New Territories have the right to be allocated a piece of land to build small houses after they reach adulthood. If you want to change agricultural land for commercial use, you must obtain approval from the Hong Kong government, but the Hong Kong government does not give private approval at all! Therefore, the value of these land without commercial use is low. As long as the housing and employment problems of these villagers are solved, so that they will not cause trouble, these land acquisitions will not be difficult. The Hong Kong government will issue a document to determine the price. "Mr. Xia, should we go to the nearby village?" Seeing that Xia Yu seemed unable to think of any effective ideas for a time, McLehose suggested. Xia Yu stretched her brows slightly and nodded and said, "Okay, let''s listen to your arrangements." After ¡¡¡¡, McLehose, Xia Yu and others took a car to the nearest Xiangjiangwei. Xiangjiangwei is very remote and the roads are bumpy. On the way to Xiangjiangwei, we rarely see any buildings. They are basically fields and fish ponds or wilderness. From time to time we can see plainly dressed villagers working, not only old people, but middle-aged people. There are many men and women. In a roadside shelter, the car of Xia Yu and others stopped and everyone got out of the car. The arrival of ¡¡¡¡ Xia Yu and others attracted the attention of the working villagers nearby, and many people stopped and looked over. Xia Yu found a closer middle-aged man who was fertilizing rice, walked over, and asked kindly: "Uncle, can I ask you something?" The middle-aged man squeezed a honest smile and nodded and said, "Of course." Xia Yu asked: "Have you always farmed at home for a living?" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It''s mainly farming, and there are two fish ponds. If there are odd jobs nearby, he will do the rest of the time." Xia Yu continued to ask: "How much money can you make at the end of that year? Is it enough for the family?" The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Where can I make any money? Apart from the food he grows, the money from selling food and fish is barely enough for the family''s expenses. You can survive, but you can''t save much money." "If you are lucky this year and can do more work for people, you may save some money and add some furniture to your home." Xia Yu thoughtfully asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t your wife and parents be allowed to plant the land at home? At your age, you can go to the factory and work. It is better than your farming, right?¡± The middle-aged man looked helpless, and shook his head and said, "Workmanship must be better than farming. How much money can farming make?" "It''s just that there are no factories around here. If you want to work, you have to go to Tai Po District or Kowloon. Ours is too biased. It takes a few hours to go there. Many factories do not include board and lodging, which is simply unrealistic. And I There are old people and young people, and I need to deal with many things, so I can¡¯t get away." Xia Yu nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Then if you are given a chance to enter the city and you still have to work, but you have to give up these fields and the old house at home, would you like it?" The middle-aged man said without hesitation: ¡°Of course I do, but I don¡¯t want to be a fool. What can I do if I stay in the country? My ancestors guarded these fields for generations. They didn¡¯t die but they didn¡¯t live well. Only in the city can the destiny of the family be changed and become a master!" "Just because of my family, I can''t afford a house in the city, unless the Hong Kong government will build a cheap public housing for us, but this kind of good thing will not fall on me, there are too few public housing, and there is no Fix it to us." "Hey, maybe I won¡¯t be able to buy public housing until the day I die. UU Reading is counting on the Hong Kong government to build public housing for all of us. I might as well expect more big bosses like you to come. I will work more and save some money to see if I can move into the city in this life?" "By the way, boss, do you need someone to do the job? I have strength and I am familiar with this neighborhood." Xia Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Not for the time being." In the disappointed eyes of the middle-aged man, Xia Yu took out ten Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed it to him: "Uncle, thank you, I will disturb you." The middle-aged man''s eyes lit up, rubbed his hands, looked at Xia Yu, then grinned and accepted the money Xia Yu gave, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you boss, I wish you a fortune!" Xia Yu smiled, waved to him, and then found some people to chat and ask some questions. There are old people and women, as well as young people. After asking them, Xia Yu''s thinking became clearer and clearer, and he thought of a highly enforceable method. If implemented well, being able to count the birds with one stone will not only bring about earth-shaking changes in the Yuen Long District, but also benefit his grand strategy for Heung Kong. It¡¯s just that this method is a bit detrimental, and Xia Yu really succeeded, so there are definitely some people who will bite their teeth with hatred, such as Li Jiacheng. PS: The province came to check, and suddenly there was a jump, and I worked overtime every night. I was speechless. I had to work overtime until late at night after I came back. I still have to change it today. v3 Chapter 967: 1 big game "Mr. Governor, the Hong Kong government has already launched a plan to build a new town in Tin Shui Wai. I don''t know how long it will take to build a new town in the real plan of the Hong Kong government?" Xia Yu threw a difficult question to MacLehose. MacLehose wanted to practice Tai Chi subconsciously, but he thought about it carefully and felt that Xia Yu¡¯s question should have a profound meaning and was related to the construction of a science and technology industrial park. Therefore, he pondered for a moment, and said his true thoughts: "Mr. Xia, the fiscal revenue of the Hong Kong government has been better in recent years, but it is also on the brink of deficit. The focus of the Hong Kong government is on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, Tin Shui Wai. Although the new town building plan has been incorporated into the strategic planning of the Hong Kong government, it is difficult to produce results in a short period of time." "It can be said that the construction of a new town that radiates hundreds of thousands of people from scratch, requires too much capital to invest in transportation, water and electricity pipe networks, residential areas, commercial areas, education, public services, etc. For the time being, I don¡¯t have the financial resources to build." "It is expected that real estate developers will invest in the construction first, but it has been a year and a half since the Cheung Kong Group entered the market and there has been no movement. Therefore, it will take at least ten years for the new town of Tin Shuiwei to build a rudimentary prototype." Xia Yu nodded slightly, combined with the situation in Tian Shui Wai he knew later, MacLehose was almost the truth. It can even be said that MacLehose is relatively optimistic, because Ai Lihe absolutely can''t think that if no other people intervene and follow the historical trajectory, what kind of strange, weird and even miserable the town of Tin Shuiwei will become. According to the historical trajectory of the previous life, the Hong Kong government did not start building public housing in Tin Shui Wai until 1987. It was not until 2003 that buses, light rail and other means of transportation were slowly available. It was not until 2017 that hospitals were established in the district, but there was no emergency. , I can only see a private clinic when I am sick. Before 2017, the nearest public hospital in Tin Shui Wai was about nine kilometers away. If the 300,000 residents of Tin Shui Wai were sick, they would have to make an appointment for three months to six months to see a laryngitis. It can be said that Tin Shui Wai is almost a pure residential area. In addition to the serious shortage of supporting facilities in the city, there are only a few catering and service industries that can absorb employment. Residents here have to choose high burdens if they want to make a living. Transportation expenses, working across districts. Many people in Tianshuiwei wake up at 4:30 to catch the first subway train at 5:30, wanting to live a happy life by self-reliance, but find that no matter how hard they work, they can only earn a meager salary. "The harder you work, the longer you work, and the poorer you work." This is the current situation of the residents of Tianshuiwei in the past. Their quality of life is even worse than relying on relief. Because of poverty and lack of hope, various problems in Tin Shui Wai have been highlighted. The spouse abuse case is No. 1 in Hong Kong. Violent incidents of "young gang" and murders have occurred one after another, and even various shocking incidents have occurred. In fact, all of these things can be changed. If the Hong Kong government has money, if Cheung Kong can take social responsibilities while making money, instead of buying land at low prices, opening up relationships, changing the nature of the land, sitting and waiting for low price appreciation and then cashing out If you leave, Tianshuiwei will not become a stain on Xiangjiang. Since Lao Li and others have defeated the new town of Tianshuiwei, directly or indirectly harming hundreds of thousands of people, and wasting such a treasure, then Xia Yu is not polite, and made his own move to make Tianshuiwei look good for him. I saw Xia Yu smiling and said: "Mr. Governor, I also understand the pressure and financial difficulties of the Hong Kong government, but I have a proposal to accelerate the development of a new town in Tin Shui Wai without the Hong Kong government facing financial pressure. , While promoting the people¡¯s livelihood reform of the Hong Kong government." McLehose raised his brows, and Xia Yu provoked his curiosity. He asked curiously: "I don''t know what the proposal is?" Xia Yu said: "This plan is relatively big, so why don''t we find a place to sit down and talk." "Ok!" Then, Xia Yu and McLehose found two big rocks under the shade of the tree. After sitting down, Xia Yu said to MacLehose: "The Hong Kong government''s finances are temporarily unable to develop the new town of Tianshuiwei, and the Changjiang Industrial Group and other real estate developers are not doing anything. And I happen to have the funds, so I should help the Hong Kong government build it. Tin Shui Wai New Town." "First of all, Mr. Governor, you proposed the''Home Ownership Plan''. In the first phase, Jiuding Property Group will fund the construction of 40,000 to 50,000 public housing units in the new town of Tin Shuiwei. I am confident that this project will be completed and delivered within three years. " "At the same time, I will build the supporting public facilities such as schools and hospitals. The Hong Kong government only needs to support all the staff, including faculty, medical staff, and administrative personnel, after these public facilities are completed." "¡¡¡¡" is equivalent to the creation of a new town in Tin Shuiwei by Jiuding Real Estate Group from scratch?" MacLehose asked directly. He wants to know if Xia Yu is joking. After all, building a city with hundreds of thousands of people is not just a joke. Even the Hong Kong government can¡¯t build it in three years. Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes!" MacLehose frowned and said, "Mr. Xia, the funds invested here are not generally large, and the Hong Kong government does not have that much money." Xia Yuhun said nonchalantly: "Mr. Governor, I will directly advance all the funds. Although this does require huge funds, I would not do it if I had no strength, and as an entrepreneur, I should indeed take the initiative to undertake the society. responsibility." McLehose showed admiration, gave Xia Yu a thumbs up, did not say much, made a gesture of please, and continued to listen. "In addition to building a new town in Tianshuiwei, building a science and technology industrial park can also be invested and constructed by Jiuding Real Estate Group." Xia Yu smiled slightly and continued: "Although the Hong Kong government does not need to pay for these investments, it needs to be replaced with resources." "These resources include the land of the new town of Tin Shuiwei. I will use it to build a commercial district in the city and to introduce shops that hundreds of thousands of residents need." "It also includes the land for building a good science and technology industrial park." "If these are not enough to deduct the funds I invested, then on the basis of calculating the interest, the Hong Kong government can use the tax paid by my company later to deduct it." "As a result, the new town of Tianshuiwei has been built. Residents of Pingshan Township and Xiacun Township can use their fields and old houses to buy or replace the built public housing, which solves their living conditions and improves them. To improve their living, education, medical and other environments." "The construction of the new town of Tianshuiwei and the construction of the science and technology industrial park requires a large number of migrant workers, who can directly hire local people and solve their employment problems." "The cities and science and technology industrial parks built are also for them, and local migrant workers will be more active and motivated, and social security issues will be greatly improved." "When the science and technology industrial park is completed, local residents can also enter the science and technology industrial park for employment." "Mr. Governor, what do you think of this plan?" Some stunned MacLehose recovered, clapping vigorously, full of praise for Xia Yu''s plan. "Papa Papa..." "Mr. Xia, your plan is too big, and it is closely linked." "But I have to say that the enforceability is very high. As long as the publicity goes out, it will definitely welcome the positive response of hundreds of thousands of villagers nearby." "The possible problems in land expropriation work will also dissipate directly in the bud." After ¡¡¡¡ admired, McLehose calmed down a bit and said to Xia Yu seriously: "But Mr. Xia, you have to think clearly that the funds that need to be invested are not generally large." Xia Yu smiled, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Mr. Governor, thank you for your concern, but I am sure of this matter." Xia Yu said this again, and MacLehose didn''t say more. After all, if this matter is done, it will definitely benefit Hong Kong and the people. He has no reason to refuse. As for the land resources and tax relief that the Hong Kong government wants to release, they still exist in the future. Now a part of the land resources are used to replace Xia Yu''s investment, which can be exchanged for the new town of Tin Shuiwei and the Science and Technology Industrial Park. After the two are built, the original cheap land prices will also rise, and the science and technology industrial park will be softened when it collects rent from other enterprises. Not to mention taxation. Now there is no hair. If the science and technology industrial park is really built in the future, the big deal is not to create direct taxes for the Hong Kong government in the first few years. After the principal and interest are paid off, it will be nothing. Picked up the money. Also, you have to consider that hundreds of thousands of residents in this neighborhood have income. What about the development of various industries driven by consumption? Can''t it also greatly increase the tax revenue of the Hong Kong government? It can be said that as long as the Hong Kong government does administrative work , it can lie down and enjoy the results. It is a big winner. Xia Yu also achieved his goal and was also a big winner. The lives of hundreds of thousands of residents near Tianshuiwei have also been changed, and they are a big winner. Multi-party win-win situation. If you say that you are at a loss, it is probably the real estate developer who wants to develop residential houses and make money like the Cheung Kong Group. After all, Xia Yu¡¯s creation of 40,000 to 50,000 public housing units can solve the housing problem of 40,000 to 50,000 households. Adding an average of five people per household can solve the housing problem of more than 200,000 people, which is absolutely sufficient for now. The second batch of public housing will be built after the housing is not enough! and cheap public housing is enough, residential real estate in the new town of Tin Shui Wai will definitely not be developed, and housing prices will not rise even if it wants to rise. However, the civilian real estate market has been destroyed, but commercial real estate is not. Because hundreds of thousands of people are concentrated here, the shops must be valuable. Commercial real estate is mainly affected by fluctuations in the market and the general economic environment, and has no impact on the prices of civilian real estate. Will affect Xia Yu''s strategy to contain housing prices. According to the conditions mentioned by Xia Yu just now, the commercial area is also built by him. Then the only profitable commercial real estate in the real estate market here will be swallowed by him! ! But even if Lao Li and others are jealous, envy, hatred, it''s useless. Who makes this game of chess, the whole Xiangjiang has the strength and qualifications to play only Xia Yu? PS: If you are interested, you can check the information on Tin Shui Wai. It is simply a stain on Hong Kong. It shows the hatefulness of those real estate developers and their attitude towards social responsibility. v3 Chapter 968: CLP Power After calming his mind, MacLehose solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, the plan you proposed involves too many areas. It takes a lot of work to refine and formulate a complete implementation plan. You have to send someone over to discuss it together after you go back." Xia Yu nodded and said: "This is what it should be, and I also hope to start it as soon as possible." ¡­¡­ After ¡¡¡¡, MacLehose, Xia Yu and others boarded their cars and left the New Territories. Xia Yu sat in the back row and opened the car window. He breathed the fresh air full of natural fragrance, with a refreshing feeling of clear brain. Looking at the skipped fields, Xia Yu seemed to see modern factories being built in this place. At this moment, Li Qian leaned next to Xia Yu, her eyebrows lightly clumped, and asked with some worry: "A Yu, haven''t you always told me that setting up a factory in Pengcheng on the opposite mainland can greatly reduce production costs. Well, many of your companies have gone to open factories there. Why do you still want to build a science and technology industrial park in Yuen Long District?" "The straight-line distance between Yuen Long District and Pengcheng should be less than 20 kilometers, right? With such a close distance, can the Yuen Long Technology Industrial Park develop?" Xia Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Li Qian, who was worried about his career. He smiled softly, and gently smoothed Li Qian''s frowning brow with his fingers, and said softly: "Cici, don''t worry, when do you see me? Have made the wrong decision?" "Although the Science and Technology Industrial Park is close to Pengcheng, this does not mean that it will not develop." Seeing Li Qian''s ignorant and cute look, but wanting to figure it out, Xia Yu smiled and said, "I''ll talk to you." Li Qian nodded like an obedient elementary school student, blinked at Xia Yu with big eyes, waiting for Xia Yu''s teaching. Xia Yu gently hugged Li Qian into his arms and spoke slowly with gentle words. "Xiqian, the positioning of the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is not a light industry with low technology thresholds, but heavy industries such as electronic high-tech, automobile manufacturing, petrochemicals and other industries. These industries are industries with high thresholds, high output value and high added value. The profit margin far exceeds that of low-threshold light industrial industries such as textiles and toys." "Although the labor cost of Xiangjiang far exceeds that of the mainland, it is far worse than developed countries such as island countries, the United Kingdom and the United States." "Since such high labor costs in island countries, the United Kingdom, and the United States can enable companies in the electronic high-tech, automobile manufacturing, petrochemical industries and other industries to develop healthily, it is unreasonable that Xiangjiang''s lower labor costs can''t. "Compared with labor costs, the technical costs of these industries account for the bulk of the cost. As long as the technical costs are controlled properly, you are not afraid of not having the strength to compete in the market." "Then talk about the mainland. Although the mainland has very low labor costs, it must be able to be used, and it is useless if it is not low." "Other ordinary light industries such as toys, textiles, etc., have no entry restrictions in the mainland. Xiangjiang companies want to set up factories in Pengcheng, but the electronic high-tech, automotive and heavy industries, petrochemical industries are different." "In addition to the slightly better electronics field, the mainland is not open to the outside world in fields such as automobiles, heavy industry, petrochemicals, etc., and we can''t even enter. I don''t know how many years we have to wait." "Even if these industries are opened up, the mainland will set many restrictions. The simplest controlling rights will not be available, and the maximum profit can only be 49%." "Considering that in these sensitive industries, the tariff cost between the mainland and other countries in the world is much higher than the tariff cost between Hong Kong and other countries in the world. Many parts and components have to be purchased from all over the world. The cost can offset a large part of the labor cost, or even offset the excess." "Unless the mainland considers liberalizing restrictions one day, it will be possible to reduce tariffs. Before the liberalization, it is almost impossible to reduce tariffs in these areas." "Of course, the combined import and export tariffs are the highest. If you set up factories in the mainland to build the entire industrial chain, you only need to purchase raw materials, and the tariffs are low, and as long as the products are not exported, they are sold directly in the mainland. Setting up a factory in the mainland will have a huge cost advantage." "But even if it is not for export but for domestic sales, the current market capacity and supporting industrial chain in mainland China are still a big problem, not to mention the industry entry restrictions that do not know when it will be released." "So I must be prepared with both hands. I can''t do nothing and wait. It is always right to establish a science and technology industrial park in Xiangjiang first." is as Xia Yu said. Give a simple example. For example, the simplest automobile industry. According to previous history, even if the automobile industry is opened to foreign investment, it is still subject to many restrictions. The controlling rights still have to be held by the mainland. The restrictions have not been completely lifted before Xia Yu crosses. The sales in the domestic market are good, and it can have an advantage, just like the price difference between a joint venture car and an imported car, which has more than doubled. But in the face of overseas markets, after the profit is divided, the profit will be similar to that of the factory in Hong Kong. Unless the mainland reduces the import and export tariffs of the entire industry chain, the cost can be greatly reduced. But for the difficulty of this point, no one knows the future situation better than Xia Yu, who is reborn from a later life. He doesn''t hold this hope at all. Tariff is a barrier to a country''s economy, he can''t touch it or touch it. There are only two ways to work. One is that the mainland thinks that it has sufficient competitiveness in all walks of life, and will take the initiative to lower it. The second is that in order to join the WTO, China Xia was coerced by European and American countries and had to make a series of commitments. Once time is up, they will continue to fulfill their commitments and open up industry restrictions and reduce tariffs. So if Xiangjiang builds an automobile factory now, Xia Yu can have 100% autonomy and profit, and there are fewer restrictions on entering the European and American markets. Because it is close to the mainland, as long as the mainland situation changes, he can make adjustments at any time. This is the case in the automobile manufacturing industry. As for the petrochemical industry, let alone think about it. Some wait, Xia Yu can never temporarily not set foot in the petrochemical industry because of this. The future is to be embraced, but it must be based on the present, and it is better to build the foundation of Xiangjiang first. The only thing that is likely to make Xia Yu abandon the construction of the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park is that the mainland will immediately open all fields to him, but is this possible? ¡­¡­ Xia Yu''s straightforward and easy-to-understand explanation made Li Qian suddenly realize. "It turns out that this is so complicatedIn this case, the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park must be established as soon as possible." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, soon. After I go back, I will arrange for someone to go to the Hong Kong government to meet up. Now it involves the public housing plan and the construction plan of the new town in Tin Shui Wai. MacLehose attaches more importance to his The level of urgency is no worse than mine." Li Qian lightly tapped her head, her beautiful eyes showed infatuation and admiration, and she whispered softly: "A Yu, if your plan is successful, it will at least change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, which is similar to the charity work I often do. Than, you really benefit society..." ¡­¡­ After returning, Xia Yu immediately called in the brains of the three major research institutes, and at the same time called Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping from Jiuding Real Estate Group, and Zhao Bo, the general manager of China Power Corporation, to the headquarters for a meeting. The meeting appointed Liu Shihao to lead the team to communicate with the Hong Kong government, and other people would cooperate and assist. After the meeting ended, Liu Shihao and others retired, but Zhao Bo, the general manager of China Light & Power Corporation, stayed. Zhao Bo is a Chinese executive promoted from the inside after Xia Yu took control of the China Power Corporation. He did not disappoint Xia Yu and kept the China Power Corporation in order. "Zhao Bo, what else do you have?" Xia Yu asked. Zhao Bo immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Chairman, there are some important things to report to you, involving the Kadoorie family." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, and he nodded slightly: "Go to my office.". "Ok." After finishing speaking, Zhao Bo was one position behind Xia Yu, and followed Xia Yu into the office step by step. v3 Chapter 969: Toss the Kadoorie family (there are no symbols at the end of the previous chapter, well-organized should be changed to "well-organized", the semantics should be opposite, see later for specific reasons) After sitting down, Xia Yu asked directly: "Is it the Kadoorie family that did anything?" He remembers that the Kadoorie family still owns 34% of the shares of China Light and Power Company, and his cumulative shareholding has reached 62.4%. Except for him and the Kadoorie family, the other tradable equity is only about 3.6%. The CLP Power Company¡¯s status as a listed company has existed in name only. It¡¯s just because Xia Yu¡¯s shareholding has been dispersed, it is difficult to define, and these companies of Xia Yu are not original shareholders, so they are not qualified to ban the listed company of China Power Corporation. The reason why Xia Yu chose not to delist is that Xia Yu has a deeper consideration, that is, to use the status of a listed company to make things happen, and to reduce the difficulty of acquiring the shares of the Kadoorie family. Because the Kadoorie family holds 34% of the shares of China Power Corporation, and they are not willing to let go, there is a lot of attitude not to let Xia Yu do what he wants. Therefore, no matter how hard Xia Yu works, he cannot increase his shareholding ratio to more than two-thirds. Therefore, Xia Yu cannot cover the board of directors with one hand. Many methods to dilute the Kadoorie family shareholding ratio are not available. Because the Kadoorie family owns a veto power on the board of directors with a 34% shareholding ratio. So when it comes to the company''s critical survival or major issues, as long as it needs to be discussed by the board of directors, the Kadoorie family can get stuck. However, the Kadoorie family was able to barely maintain the final face when the board of directors made a resolution, but failed again and again in other aspects. For example, the general meeting of shareholders has been controlled by Xia Yu. controlled the general meeting of shareholders, Roland Kadoorie was directly kicked from the position of chairman, and all nominations of the Kadoorie family were rejected in the appointment of the chairman and vice chairman. Of course, because Xia Yu''s side also accounts for less than two-thirds of the board seats, Xia Yu''s side is only dominant and cannot be determined in one word. As a result, the position of chairman has been vacant. The board of supervisors is also controlled by Xia Yu. To sum up. After Xia Yu acquired China Power Corporation, the internal struggle of China Power Corporation never stopped. Zhao Bo directly used Qishang Fist to replace the injury with the injury according to Xia Yu''s instructions, making the Kadoorie family miserable. Facing Xia Yu¡¯s question, Zhao Bo nodded and said, ¡°Yes, the Kadoorie family can¡¯t hold on anymore. I think they have a high probability of quitting China Power Corporation.¡± Xia Yu suddenly became interested: "Tell me the details." Zhao Bo said: "Now our CLP Power Company is well-known in Hong Kong. Many people know that the internal struggle of the company is fierce. The scope of the struggle has been fully covered by the shareholders meeting, the board of supervisors and the board of directors, and the internal personnel changes of the company are also very large. Affect the company¡¯s operations." "...In order to dilute the equity of the Kadoorie family, I have been proposing to increase investment, such as purchasing new equipment and transforming the power grid, and proposing a private placement of 60 million Hong Kong dollars; another example is a new natural gas power plant and a private placement of funds. 200 million Hong Kong dollars; entering the Australian power market, proposing a private placement of 200 million Hong Kong dollars and so on." "Every time the Kadoorie family rejected the proposal, and every time I found an opportunity to spread the news." "A big plan needs to be discussed and decided by the board of directors, but I can directly decide on some smaller aspects. Many of the company¡¯s interests and assets have been transferred to the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company at a reasonable price. The Kadoorie family already knows. But I couldn''t find a handle." "...So in the case of losing the management rights, the Kadoorie family can only watch their own interests suffer little by little." "The company¡¯s share price has continued to fall due to the constant exposure of negative news. It has now fallen to about half of its normal level. It has been rated as a junk stock by many institutions, and the equity held by the Kadoorie family has been locked up." "I think no one but us would dare to take over. I have inquired that the Kadoorie family wanted to take the equity pledge loan of China Light and Power Company, but they were rejected by the bank and drastically lowered the price..." Listening to Zhao Bo talking endlessly about how he "runs" the company, Xia Yu gave him a compliment. These things that Zhao Bo did were indeed given by Xia Yu privately. There is no way, who made him want to buy the equity of the Kadoorie family, but he has been behind the door of the Kadoorie family several times, leaving no room for negotiation. In desperation, Xia Yu can only use other methods, such as what Zhao Bo said above. It¡¯s a good way to deal with nails like the Kadoorie family. In the previous life, Xia Yu saw many such scenes. Large shareholders harmed small shareholders and ordinary shareholders. They directly tossed a good company to a loss, and then transferred assets at low cost. After achieving the goal, the company immediately recovered its health. That is, the Kadoorie family was stuck in the equity ratio, and Xia Yu did not control over 66.7%. If there are more than two-thirds of the equity, where does it need to be so troublesome. If you control the board and directly drive the horse to eat the Kadoorie family, it will be efficient! But after tossing for so long, the effect seems to be good. The Kadoorie family''s attitude has also softened, and it is indeed possible to act. "Zhao Bo, you continue to test the attitude of the Kadoorie family. If you think that the heat is not enough, you will persecute them again. Your task is to continue to sing black faces, but you must be cautious. Be careful not to leave any handles and get yourself in. "Xia Yu smiled and ordered. "I will arrange for others to do the acquisition of their equity, and I will let someone contact you at that time." Zhao Bo replied respectfully: "Okay!" Next, Xia Yu asked some more questions before sending Zhao Bo away. ¡­¡­ Two days later, Xia Yu suddenly received Bao Yugang''s invitation and invited him to have dinner at home, and Xia Yu went there at the appointment. When Xia Yu came to Bao Yugang''s home, he found that there were no other people besides Bao Yugang and his family. He asked curiously: "Old Bao, just the two of us? Why didn''t Lao Huo call him? " Bao Yugang explained with a smile: "Why didn''t I call him, but unfortunately he went to the U.S. not a week, so I will call him again when I have a chance." Xia Yu knew it, and said with a smile: "That old Huo has no good fortune tonight. I will tease him next time when he comes back..." Talking for a while, dinner is ready. During the meal, Xia Yu and Bao Yugang mainly chatted about interesting things. The real talk is on the tea table after dinner. Bao Yugang''s son-in-law Wu Guangzheng poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and then sat quietly and listened. "Ayu, the Hong Kong government intends to build a large-scale science and technology industrial park in the New Territories, ready to support electronic high-tech, heavy industry and petrochemical industries. Have you heard of this news?" Bao Yugang took a sip of the hot tea and said slowly. Xia Yu raised his brows and asked, "Old Bao, did you find this news from the Hong Kong government?" Bao Yugang nodded calmly: "Yes, someone told me specifically, MacLehose strictly requires confidentiality, and seems to take it very seriously." "The Hong Kong government''s strategic plan for the governance of Hong Kong will not have a small impact on us, so I will come to you to talk about this." Xia Yu''s expression was a little strange, and he held back a smile and asked: "Then old Bao, do you know where this proposal came from? Why does the Hong Kong government suddenly want to plan [ÁãÁã¿´Êé00kxs] industrial park?" Bao Yugang shook his head: "I don''t know this. I have asked, but I haven''t got an answer." "What, you know?" After finishing speaking, Bao Yugang found that Xia Yu''s expression was a little weird and couldn''t help but raised his thick eyebrows, and asked, "A Yu, do you know?" PS: I wrote a chapter without dozing off at noon, and another chapter at night. v3 Chapter 970: I want zero business prosperity Xia Yu smiled and said: "I really know, because I made this proposal." Astonishment flashed in Bao Yugang''s eyes, his brows wrinkled slightly, thinking that Xia Yu always had deep meaning in doing things, so he immediately asked: "A Yu, I remember that you have already started to transfer factories to Pengcheng, why would you want to? Building an industrial park in Xiangjiang?" "Everyone is running to Pengcheng, you are doing the opposite!" Xia Yu said indifferently: "Old Bao, the basic labor-intensive industries that move to the mainland are textiles, garments, toys and other labor-intensive industries, with low technical thresholds and heavy dependence on labor costs. I don''t do this." Bao Yugang accepted Xia Yu¡¯s reason, but he still felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he asked, ¡°Leave aside the labor cost. There is also the investment and use cost of plant hardware, even if the land price in Yuen Long is low. , It is also higher than Pengcheng. Even if the Hong Kong government builds an industrial park, it may not be able to attract enough enterprises." Xia Yu smiled and said, "Old Bao, I don''t know exactly what MacLehose thinks. After all, I am not the roundworm in his stomach." "But if the industrial park is built, I alone can build a lot of large factories. As long as I have a market and enough business, manufacturers of supporting industrial chains will naturally follow." "The effect of industrial clusters is true everywhere." Bao Yugang stretched his brows and nodded slowly and said, "Yes, although your factory has not been established, I believe you can do it." "Then which industries are you going to do? Have you planned?" Xia Yu replied: "Automobiles, machinery manufacturing, electronics, petrochemicals, etc." "Companies in the automobile, machinery manufacturing and electronics industries have existed for a long time, and the petrochemical industry will be built later." Bao Yugang nodded in understanding. He knew that Xia Yu did have companies in these industries, which he had previously acquired from the Jardine Consortium, such as Jardine Machinery Group, Jardine Automotive Group, etc., as well as his own Tiangong Electronics Group. There is only one thing he hasn¡¯t figured out yet, and that is why the Hong Kong government¡¯s plan has omitted the real estate industry, which is now booming. He abandoned the boat and went ashore, and now he has been playing a big role in the real estate industry. If there is a real risk, he will have to plan early. "Ayu, the real estate industry is booming now, why is it not mentioned in the plan? Could it be that the real estate industry will change in the future?" Xia Yu shook his head and said: "The real estate industry is definitely bright in the future, but whether it is for Hong Kong or for ourselves, the real estate industry is best half bright." "Half the light?" Bao Yugang frowned and said, thinking of the properties of real estate, which can be divided into commercial real estate and residential real estate. He wondered: "Is there a risk in commercial real estate and residential real estate?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Bao, you should know the difference between commercial real estate and residential real estate, right?" Bao Yugang said without hesitation: "Of course I know." "Commercial real estate is an asset-oriented operation, and investment and development costs are high. It is about stable long-term income." "Residential real estate investment costs are lower, marketing is focused, short-term gains are harvested, and high turnover rates are important." Xia Yu said in an interface: "That''s it." "Moreover, from a marketing perspective, the core of commercial real estate is investment, facing investors; the core of residential real estate is housing, facing consumers." "Commercial real estate is always hot again. Investors buy or rent shops for business, which is good for social and economic development. It is an important part of economic circulation and accelerates the flow of money." "On the other hand, residential real estate is different. Consumers'' money is limited. If the price of housing is too high, consumers will need to overdraft future money to buy houses. Income will basically flow into banks and real estate developers, and very little will be spent on consumption. ." "So residential real estate is prospering, but all businesses are declining." "And Xiangjiang is the window to the mainland and the intersection of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Its geographical location is destined to become a prosperous trading place where all industries meet." "As long as Xiangjiang''s business is prosperous, the commercial real estate market will naturally rise." "But Lao Bao, do you think that for Xiangjiang, for the mainland, the price of residential real estate in Xiangjiang has gone up, okay or not?" Bao Yugang shook his head and said decisively: "It''s definitely not good. Housing prices are inversely proportional to the potential of Xiangjiang. The overdraft of housing prices is the potential of Xiangjiang, and the common people suffer." "Whether it is to us or to the general public, the prosperity of all industries is the best." "Business is like planting leeks. You can harvest and sell them over and over again and you will have the money to fertilize them and start new fields to grow more leeks. Everyone can eat them, but if they dig the roots together, the leeks are gone. The land is dead as well." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Old Bao, you are a vivid metaphor." After laughing, Xia Yu narrowed his smile and said with a serious face: "So whether it is for ourselves or for the whole of Xiangjiang, the residential real estate of Xiangjiang really cannot let it fly around." "But we also know that the real estate industry is too low-tech, so everyone goes to develop real estate if they have some money. How many wealthy families are rushing to the real estate industry. The real estate industry is jointly fired up by everyone. If we want to stop it, it will be particularly difficult. Big." "But if you let it go, ten, twenty, thirty years, one day this bubble will burst, and there will be only a piece of chicken feathers left at that time, and the people at the bottom will be complaining, and our foundation will be corroded. The evil consequences and infamy will eventually be us. And our future generations." "I talked to MacLehose, although the Hong Kong government has now begun to rely on land sales, but it is not very serious, and commercial real estate can be sold as well." "So MacLehose is also supported. For him, a British man with a British mission, he can do this. I still admire him." Bao Yugang pondered for a long time and asked, "So you plan to focus on the development of the commercial real estate market for your Jiuding Real Estate Group, and confront everyone in the residential real estate market?" Xia Yu didn''t hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, although there is a suspicion of being a bitch, but in Xiangjiang, I really want to be a socially responsible entrepreneur, not a capitalist who drinks human blood." "I don''t care when I am abroad, but Xiangjiang is my hometown after all, and I am also from Huaxia. I always have to treat them differently. Gentlemen do something and don''t do something." Bao Yugang laughed, and exclaimed: "Well said, gentlemen can do something but don''t do something!" "I''ll take this with you!" "Well, you are the leader in the real estate industry. After merging several companies, I barely squeezed into the top ten in the real estate industry. If we two act in groups, the probability of success is even greater!" "As for Lao Huo''s words, wait for him to come back and tell him, it''s up to him, but according to what I know about him, he is a person despising money, and what he has in his heart is national justice. Don¡¯t do it, it¡¯s just another way to make money anyway." Xia Yu smiled and said, "You have an **** with me, I am confident!" Bao Yugang shook his head and smiled: "I just play a supporting role. Don''t put a high hat on me. You didn''t tell me before. If you are thinking about doing it yourself, you must be confident to do it. I still don''t know you?" "But Ayu, when it comes to this, I have an opinion on you. Is my **** like someone with no bottom line? Why don''t you call me about this?" Seeing Bao Yugang''s stern face and unhappy look, Xia Yu was a little embarrassed, but he couldn''t admit it. He retorted cheekyly: "Old Bao, why didn''t I think of you? Didn''t I hide you now? I just told you when you asked?" "The main reason for not telling you for the time being is that the Hong Kong government has not officially approved it. If it fails, I will tell you again. Isn''t that slapped me in the face?" Bao Yugang looked up and down Xia Yu suspiciously. Xia Yu looked as usual, with a calm and composed look, let Bao Yugang look at it. Bao Yu just turned his gaze back and smiled: "That''s OK, let''s just assume that what you said is true ~ www.novelhall.com~ This matter will be revealed." Then he took a sip of his tea and said, "From tomorrow I will adjust the real estate strategy and focus on developing commercial real estate projects." "The profit of commercial real estate is actually not low. The annual income can far exceed the bank interest. In fact, it makes a steady profit. As long as the business environment of Hong Kong gets better and better, the rate of return will be higher and higher." "The key is to look at patience." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Old Bao does not mean that we give up the residential real estate business. We even have to do more. The greater the influence on the market, the more we can suppress housing prices." "If we abandon residential real estate directly, then there is no way to intervene." "If there are a lot of housing constructions, and everyone has a house, I see who they develop the house to sell to!" "Look at how they fry!" PS: I''m really sorry yesterday, the plan can''t keep up with the changes. I hate drinking, but I can''t push the wine bureau. I drank too much last night... v3 Chapter 971: Fly an airline Bao Yugang thought for a moment, and said with confidence: "You are right. Only by continuing to expand your influence in the residential real estate market can you play a greater role." "However, if we want to suppress housing prices, we have to store enough low-priced land in advance, otherwise, when the house is developed, we will lose as much as we sell at low prices." "Only our real estate company survives to be effective." Xia Yu nodded and said: "Yes!" "However, we must also focus on strategies to reduce the cost of acquiring land as much as possible. The amount of funds required to hoard land is too large." Bao Yugang had some thoughts in his mind, but he still wanted to hear what Xia Yu had. "Ayu, what do you think can be done to allow us to get more land at a lower cost, and still have the effect of suppressing housing prices?" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he slowly said, "Old Bao, I really have some ideas." "We can do that." "In terms of commercial real estate, there is a strong dependence on location, so we can only use prime locations with good supporting service facilities to build quality and reputation." "In this regard, we can buy old buildings on a large scale in advance and buy idle land in prime locations. If the Hong Kong government does not sell land, then we will use another method and directly buy companies that own many prime locations. It saves more money, just like I bought the Wharf before." Bao Yugang said with deep conviction: ¡°The way to buy a company is good. Xiangjiang certainly has many companies undervalued. The main reason is that the information is blocked. You may not find it. But in terms of business information, no one in Xiangjiang can compare. You are well-versed, you can give me more goals then." Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is for sure. I can''t eat everything by myself. Can I eat meat without you?" Bao Yugang laughed and said, "I didn''t mean that. When will you eat meat will leave me? I have the wealth now, and I am not blessed by you." After talking and laughing, Bao Yugang said again: "The idea of ??commercial real estate is very good. I can''t think of a better one than you, just do as you say." "So what about residential real estate?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and continued: ¡°In terms of residential real estate, the main selling points of major real estate developers now are good locations, convenient transportation and good supporting public facilities. Incidentally, they add value to the selling point.¡± "If we go to grab those good locations, the cost would be too high, and there are more wolves and less meat. It is easy to drive them into anxieties and stir up prices, so we can only buy in moderation." "Instead of developing the houses in the center of each city, we should develop the suburbs on a large scale. If the traffic is not good, I just bought the bus company and opened the bus route directly." "In terms of education, we will directly build schools, whether they are public or private, and then we will look at the attitude of the Hong Kong government and the level of our public relations. This does not matter. Even if it is a private school, we can''t lose money." "The same is true for medical care. If there is a lack of medical facilities nearby and the Hong Kong government does not care, then we will open private hospitals by ourselves. The profit of the hospital industry is not bad, and there is no need to make black money and there are huge profits." "Then there are all the necessary facilities for life, so don''t worry about this. My Wellcome supermarket and convenience store, Jiuding Electric and other stores can follow the real estate, and other stores are also very simple." "If everything else is the same, it only takes ten minutes to take the bus to the city center, but the price is a few floors lower. I think most ordinary citizens who just need a house will buy our house." As soon as Xia Yu¡¯s voice fell, Bao Yugang clapped his hands and applauded: ¡°Ayu, this is a wonderful method. Given the difference in land prices between the city center and the suburbs, if we develop real estate in the suburbs, let alone the price of a few floors lower, half the price We all make money." "We directly detained most of the people to the suburbs. The houses in the city center can only be sold partly. After all, the wealthy ordinary citizens of Xiangjiang are only a small part." "Even the real estate developed in the city center can''t be sold, and a few real estate developers will die. The land price of Xiangjiang will naturally come down." "Obtaining land to open a real estate in the suburbs, the same money can have several times the effect on the containment of housing prices, absolutely!" Facing Bao Yugang''s repeated praise, Xia Yu just smiled casually. "Old package, the method is good, the key depends on how to implement it. We only need to do a few times and others will discover our plan. There will always be troubles. We can''t underestimate our opponents. They are all human beings. ." "So we still have to stock up in large quantities in advance so that we won''t be controlled by that time." Bao Yugang nodded slightly: "Well, but this also has a problem. The amount of funds needed for large-scale land hoarding is too large. It doesn''t matter if you have a lot of money. Although I have made a lot of money with you, the investment is still not enough. The bank is fully supporting it!" Xia Yu immediately said: "This is easy to handle, it''s on my body, you just get the land, and I will give you the lowest interest here, so you can guarantee that you won''t make or lose money." Bao Yugang laughed, "I''m relieved if I have you." "When Lao Huo comes back, we will add up again." Xia Yu nodded and said, "Well, I''ll talk about it then." ¡­¡­ After a few brief conversations, Bao Yugang looked straight and put down the cup. Xia Yu realized that Bao Yugang might still have something serious to tell him, and he raised his spirits and looked at Bao Yugang. "A Yu, I invite you over tonight, not just to talk to you about the planning of the Hong Kong government, but more importantly, there is something I want to discuss with you." Bao Yugang said solemnly. "Especially since I just talked to you, I am even more sure to expand my career." "I want to open an airline!" Xia Yu frowned suddenly, and said puzzledly: "Operating an airline? Old bag, Xiangjiang''s civil aviation has been monopolized by Cathay Pacific." "The Hong Kong government has previously formulated the aviation policy of''one route is operated by one airline''.''An airline that first obtains a license from the Air Transport Licensing Authority can obtain the exclusive right to operate the destination unless the port The government cancels Cathay Pacific¡¯s franchise. Otherwise, even if you start an airline, you can only fly some unpopular routes that Cathay Pacific does not operate. The risk of loss is too great!" "Also, Swire Airlines of the Swire Consortium is not only the parent company of Cathay Pacific Airways, but also the parent company of HeungKong Aircraft Engineering Company. The Swire Consortium has expanded its tentacles into all aviation businesses, including maintenance, service and ground handling." "Even if you run an airline, the Swire Consortium can completely block you in terms of maintenance, service, and ground handling. Even if each link drags you for tens of minutes, word of mouth will be over." Xia Yu remembered the events of his previous life. It seems that in 1985, Cao Guangbiao, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, China Resources and China Merchants formed Dragonair. Bao Yugang was also the largest shareholder and held shares. The ratio reached 38%. But later because of the Hong Kong government¡¯s policy, Dragonair could only fly some unpopular routes, and it was not as good as Cathay Pacific in maintenance and service. It was difficult to operate and suffered heavy losses. In 1989, Bao Yugang would All the equity was sold off. But in this life, under his influence, Bao Yugang bought the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company and entered the air freight market ahead of schedule. Now it makes sense to have this idea nearly four years in advance. But Xia Yu is still not optimistic about Bao Yugang. Although money can handle most things, some things are difficult to change, such as policies. . Especially when the vested interests of this policy are still stronger, it is even more impossible to succeed! PS: The second update is over, ask for a recommended monthly pass, the number of votes is particularly ugly and embarrassing v3 Chapter 972: Can you change Bao Yugangs fate against the sky? Bao Yugang heard the worry in Xia Yu''s words, and he smiled and said, "A Yu, I have considered everything you said." "Blame me for being unclear. You have misunderstood what I mean. I am not going to enter the air passenger transport market, but aiming at the air cargo market." "The capacity of the air passenger transport market is larger than that of the cargo market. As a vested interest and monopolist, the Swire Consortium is definitely not letting go." "However, in the case of the air cargo market, Cathay Pacific is involved, but it is not deeply involved. This market has not been vigorously developed. If I want to enter, it will be safer and less competitive." "Besides, you sold the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company to me before. Now it is renamed Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company. As you know, this company owns the exclusive right to operate air freight at the only Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong." "So in terms of air cargo handling and transshipment, I have no shortage of manpower and experience, and I have certain advantages in entering the air cargo market!" In fact, as soon as Bao Yugang talked about the air cargo market, Xia Yu knew that he had made a mistake by negligence, made a low-level mistake, and was misled by the memory of his previous life and inertial thinking. In his previous life, Bao Yugang directly rushed into the air passenger transport market with Cao Guangbiao, and clamored to compete with Cathay Pacific. The Swire consortium had to kill Dragon Airlines even for the sake of face. But this life is not necessarily the same. Under Xia Yu¡¯s temptation, Bao Yugang owns Xiangjiang Air Cargo Company. He himself is the original global shipping king and has a deep understanding of the international transportation market. Also understand the air cargo market. The current Xiangjiang Air Cargo Company, although it belongs to the air cargo market, is different from what Bao Yugang is now talking about. Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company¡¯s air freight franchise refers to management and service. To use an analogy, if the Kai Tak International Airport is an airport, the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company owns the franchise of the airport. This airport can only be operated by the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company in the cargo throughput market. Kai Tak International Airport is not only used by Cathay Pacific Airways. Other international airlines will also take off and land in Hong Kong. These airlines have air cargo operations, and the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company serves these companies. As for the air cargo market in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government has not approved the franchise. Cathay Pacific can do it. The original Jardine consortium can do the same, and others can do it. The reason why no one does it is also because the air cargo market was relatively small before. And Cathay Pacific will also be involved, and the Jardine consortium, which has a unique advantage, is indifferent. Other people will naturally not enter without the support of advantages, even if they are moved, they dare not enter! Xia Yu said with a smile: "Old Bao, if it is to enter the air cargo market, then there is no problem, you can do it." "Although the investment cost of buying an aircraft in the early stage is high, and the business expansion period will also lead to a loss, it can be profitable in the long run." "You started as a global shipping company. You must know that if it is a freighter, it will take at least half a month to get from Hong Kong to the United States, but if you change to an airplane, you can get there without half a day." "Before, Xiangjiang has always been engaged in industries such as textiles, garments, plastics, toys, etc., with low added value, low profits, but the volume is still large, and it will cost you death by air transport." "But it is different now. If Yuen Long Industrial Park is built, then the electronic high-tech industry will develop. This kind of small and high-priced product is most suitable for air transport." "Don''t talk about the future. In the past two years, some of the game consoles and electrical appliances I produced have been shipped by air. Anyway, the profit margin is large. Even if the cost of air transportation is much higher, I can afford it." Bao Yugang said with confidence: "Yes, I have done research in this area, so I think about entering the air cargo market after careful consideration." "The rapid development of semiconductor technology in the United States, especially the personal computer industry, has become more and more connected with major industries, especially in manufacturing. I found that Taiwan Province, island countries and Star City have begun to deploy these high-tech industries. I knew that the global industrial structure was about to change." "Just now you told me about the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, and you are more determined to please me." "This air cargo company, with my own strength, if I don''t fight in the real estate industry, it''s okay, it can barely support it." "But now I have to plan a large sum of funds into the real estate industry, it must be impossible to carry it." "That''s why I invited you today to see your attitude towards this market. If it can be done, are you interested in joining forces with me?" Xia Yu raised his brows, he did not expect Bao Yugang to invite him to come with him. But to be honest, he is really interested. So he said without hesitation: "Of course I am interested!" "Old Bao, besides you and me, did you invite anyone else?" Bao Yugang shook his head and said, "Not yet, so I will invite you now. I will also ask him when Lao Huo comes back. It is tentatively set to be the three of us. There is no need for others." Xia Yu nodded and agreed with Bao Yugang''s attitude: "It is true that with our three-person team, we have everything we need for the company''s development, and there is no need to benefit others." "Then which step did you do for this airline?" Bao Yugang shook his head and smiled: "It''s not on the paper yet, that is, there is such an idea." "As long as we make a deal, the company will be built quickly by that time. If you have money, I''m afraid you can''t do it." Xia Yu laughed blankly: "It is true." "Wait for Lao Huo to come back. As long as we have negotiated, register the company name first, and then immediately place an order with the aircraft manufacturing company. It takes a certain amount of time to build the aircraft. This time is used to establish an air cargo company from scratch. More than enough." Bao Yugang nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense, how to talk about it specifically, when Lao Huo comes back, it won''t be a week away." ¡­¡­ After the initial negotiation, the two continued to talk about the world, from the economy of Xiangjiang to the international political situation, and Xia Yu was talking more. In the face of Bao Yugang, Xia Yu has no personal possessions. He also hopes that his year-end friendship and ally can be stronger, so he said a lot of things that Bao Yugang should be impossible to know, which made Bao Yugang a fruitful harvest. The two talked happily, and it was past ten o''clock in the evening unknowingly. Seeing that it was late, Bao Yugang also resisted the urge to continue chatting. Xia Yu offered to leave. After Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzheng sent Xia Yu out of the door, they exchanged a few words again, and Xia Yu was about to get in the car. "Cough cough cough..." "Huh..." At this moment, Bao Yu just coughed violently for a while, and his face flushed with his blood. After he finished coughing, he took a deep breath and eased his breathing. When he saw Xia Yu frowning and looking at him with a worried look, Bao Yugang smiled: "A Yu, what are you doing when you look at me like this? I''m fine, it''s just that some old problems are gone and I am running around at sea. In a lifetime, some root causes will inevitably fall." Xia Yu said with concern: "Old Bao, you were coughing from time to time just now. As long as you are sick, you have to pay attention to it, big and small. The condition is not constant. You should pay more attention to your body!" "I understand, can I not understand my own body? I take the medicine, but the root of the disease is deep and difficult to treat!" Bao Yugang shook his head and said, seemingly used to it. Xia Yu frowned again, remembering what she knew about Bao Yugang in her previous life. Among the big brothers in Xiangjiang, Bao Yugang only lived to be 73 years old. Didn''t Li Ka-shing, Huo Yingdong, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and others live to be 80 or 90 years old? Compared with them, Bao Yugang''s life span is short. Many people imagine that if Bao Yugang died early in his previous life, where would it be that Li Jiacheng would be the richest man in China? If Bao Yugang is alive, the situation in Xiangjiang will be much better, because although he is a capitalist, he is a national capitalist who is completely different from Li Jiacheng and others, and his nation and country are always in his heart. But I prefer people not to live long... If it is possible in this life, he hopes that Bao Yugang can live longer, and at least he has to see Xiangjiang return to the embrace of the motherland. Xia Yu thought of his master Li Chunqiu. I wonder if Li Chunqiu''s medical skills can cure even early tumors, can he cure Bao Yugang''s root cause? Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Bao Yugang: "Old Bao, are you free tomorrow daytime?" Bao Yugang said with some wonder: "What''s wrong? As long as you have something to do, there is definitely time." Xia Yu said immediately: "Tomorrow I will take you to visit my master''s place I may have mentioned to you that I worshipped a master, who is the dean of Xiangjiang Chunqiu Hospital. His medical skills are very superb. , Maybe there are some ways to deal with your illness." Before Bao Yugang said, Wu Guangzheng, the son-in-law standing next to him, was anxious, and immediately urged: "Dad, Mr. Xia is also very interested, you should go and see it, maybe it really works?" Bao Yu just showed a smile and said cheerfully: "Okay, then I''ll go take a look." "A Yu, I have to trouble you." Xia Yuhun said nonchalantly: "If you say anything else, then I will meet you in the lobby of Chunqiu Hospital at 9 o''clock tomorrow morning. Bao Yugang nodded and said, "No problem, it must be on time." Xia Yu nodded: "That''s OK, I''ll go back tonight." "Okay, pay attention to safety!" After finishing speaking, Bao Yugang waved his hand to watch Xia Yu''s car disappear into the night. Early the next morning, Xia Yu and Bao Yugang met on time at Chunqiu Hospital, and then they found his master Li Chunqiu, treated Bao Yugang to the doctor, and made a long-term recuperation plan. Whether ¡¡¡¡ is effective, time can only be tested. But Xia Yu has certain confidence. A week later, Huo Yingdong returned from the United States. Xia Yu and Bao Yugang helped Huo Yingdong with the dust, and this time they were replaced by Xia Yu''s family. After the guests enjoyed themselves, the three of them discussed about the air cargo company, and once they started talking, they continued until late at night. . Three days later, the framework of the new air cargo company has taken shape... PS: What¡¯s the name? Let¡¯s give me an opinion, it¡¯s good, just use it v3 Chapter 973: Dongfeng Airlines, mission must be achieved The new airline is called Dongfeng Airlines. At that time, the three of them each took a name, and finally felt that Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition of the word ¡°Dongfeng¡± is not only suitable for the situation at this time, and Xiangjiang is indeed in the east, and there are other good meanings besides, so they agreed to use it. The name. The reason why Xia Yu proposed this name was also influenced by his previous life. On the Internet in the past life, the stalk of the "Dongfeng Missile" is indeed very influential. Now the mainland''s "Dongfeng series" missiles have been studied, and the scene of the previous life will definitely appear in the future. Dongfeng Airlines will definitely catch the heat in the future, even if only the future is considered, the benefits of this name are many. Let me talk about other information about Dongfeng Airlines. In terms of equity structure, Bao Yugang, as the leader, holds 34% of the equity. And Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong each hold 33% of the equity. In terms of capital, the capital injected is directly one billion Hong Kong dollars, and the three parties actually contribute capital according to the proportion of equity, and other resources are not included. The main asset of an airline is the aircraft. In terms of aircraft purchases, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong recognized Xia Yu¡¯s recommendation and agreed to purchase four of the latest Boeing 747-200F aircraft. The price announced by Boeing was US$35 million per aircraft, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars. Nearly 150 million Hong Kong dollars. The reason why we chose Boeing 747-200F instead of Airbus aircraft is mainly because the most advanced civil aircraft in the world at this stage is Boeing, especially the super large civil aircraft. And among the major families of Boeing aircraft, the Boeing 747-200F is the seventh model in the Boeing 747 series. It not only increases the take-off weight and range, but also increases the fuel capacity. It belongs to the all-cargo type of the Boeing 747-200. It has a cargo capacity of up to 90 tons and a range of 8,300 kilometers. It is the best-selling and most advanced super-large cargo aircraft in the world today. With the exception of Boeing, European Airbus is not able to compete with Boeing at this time. In the super large aircraft, Airbus did not have a handy product. The Airbus A380, which was able to compete with Boeing, was not developed at all at this time. The latest announced development is only the Airbus A310, which is far from the A380. ! In addition to buying four new Boeing 747-200F large freighters, Dongfeng Airlines also plans to purchase three second-hand ordinary Boeing 747-200 aircraft for early operation and running-in. The establishment of Dongfeng Airlines was based on a low-key principle. When it opened, it just set off firecrackers and did not hold a grand opening ceremony. According to Xia Yu''s statement, airlines are still being created for the time being. Before they have achieved results, the whole world is clamoring that there will be harms and no benefits, and the gains outweigh the losses. might as well develop in the early stage and wait for the right time to be a blockbuster. After establishing Dongfeng Airlines with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, Xia Yu became interested in the aviation market. He is aware of the prosperity of Xiangjiang''s aviation market in the future, especially in this life, he intends to strongly interfere in the development of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang is likely to develop better than the previous life, so the aviation market will be even broader. In the past, Cathay Pacific helped to inflict abuse. The Shi Yahuai family deliberately indulged, seriously hurting the feelings of Chinese people and affecting the image of China Mainland and Xiangjiang. This alone is destined that Xia Yu will not let it go if he is capable. Now that I have returned to Hong Kong and have enough time and energy, let¡¯s try to see if Cathay Pacific can be taken over! For this reason, Xia Yu ordered Huo Jianning to contact Wang Qi, Liu Tianci, Jason Gregg and others, and count the total number of shares in Cathay Pacific held by all the companies under his control. And also asked Huo Jianning to contact Yan Wenhan and Wang Qi, and give him the detailed information of Cathay Pacific Airways. ¡­¡­ Early in the morning on April 27. The staff of Jiuding News Agency presented a series of relevant major news that happened around the world yesterday to his desktop. Among them is the latest situation of the French election that he is very concerned about. The time of Xiangjiang is about six hours earlier than Paris, France. At this time, Hong Kong was around 8 o''clock in the morning on the 27th, and Paris was just after 2 o''clock in the evening on the 27th. The results of yesterday''s first round of the presidential election have been clear. Looking at the news written on the paper in his hand, Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling, and exclaimed: "Fran?ois Mitterrand really did not disappoint me. In this life, under my intervention, the first round of voting was achieved. With an absolute lead, the French Republican Party is probably in a mess..." According to the news, after the first round of voting in the French presidential election, Fran?ois Mitterrand led by 30.28% of the votes. The current President Giskar Destin has a very poor reputation and low support, ranking second with 25.49% of the votes. As for the presidential candidates of France-G and other parties, let alone the presidential candidates. They have no threat at all, and at best they are a soy saucer. Now Fran?ois Mitterrand, relying on the strength of the Socialist Party, has won 30.28% of the votes and ranks first. I believe that in this case, the vast majority of other soy sauce parties Will support the Socialist Party. Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s advantage in winning is so obvious. If he turns to the Socialist Party earlier, he can rely on his party¡¯s votes to exchange interests Even if he cannot form a cabinet with the Socialist Party, he can still get some. Important positions in the department continue to accumulate the foundation for this party. also provides a suitable platform for the new political stars of this party to accumulate political capital, and from now on, build up strength for the future presidential election! "The second round of voting was on May 10, which is only 13 days away. In such a short period of time, it is very difficult for Giskar Destin to make a comeback under this gap." "With Fran?ois Mitterrand''s old political skills and my support for him, the probability of Giscal Destin''s comeback will not exceed 20%. As long as you stay steady, then Fran?ois Mitterrand will be able to take office successfully." "By then, France will be a more influential country besides the United States, and its secret influence in France will not be inferior to that of the United Kingdom..." In the afternoon, Xia Yu found a suitable time to call George Berkeley in London, and asked him to contact Fran?ois Mitterrand on his behalf, and closely followed the election situation for Fran?ois Mitterrand. Escort the campaign. Later, Xia Yu temporarily left the French elections behind his head and got busy with the Yuen Long Technology Industrial Park, the Tin Shui Wai New Town Project, and the real estate containment plan. Three days later, Huo Jianning finally collected all the relevant information of Cathay Pacific Airways, and made a preliminary action plan, and presented it to Xia Yu. . PS: Sorry, I couldn''t push the entertainment last night. I couldn''t move my mind after drinking too much. I couldn''t write in the middle of writing. I only update it now. There will be updates in the evening. After reading everyone¡¯s opinions, I feel that I¡¯m more powerful, so I used it v3 Chapter 974: Cathay Pacific Airways "Chairman, Cathay Pacific''s situation is indeed very complicated, so the collection of information is relatively slow, making you wait a long time." After passing the information to Xia Yu, Huo Jianning explained with some embarrassment. After all, Jiuding Securities Company and Jiuding Newspaper Company are both good at collecting commercial information, and they have a lot of information. In this case, it took him three days, and he felt a little embarrassed. Xia Yu smiled carelessly, let him sit down and look through it. At this point, it was nearly twenty minutes. Cathay Pacific¡¯s situation is really complicated. It should be said that Xia Yu is indeed one of the core companies of the Swire Consortium. It not only involves a wide range of businesses, but also has strict control over the company. According to the data, although Cathay Pacific is a core member of the Swire Consortium, it is actually a third-tier subsidiary, or even a fourth-tier subsidiary. However, considering that the business of HeungKong and even in Asia is handled by HeungKong Swire Group, which is separated from the Swire Group in London, England, Xia Yu regards HeungKong Swire Group as the core body of the HeungKong Swire consortium. HeungKong Swire Group is not listed, but 62% is controlled by Swire Group in the United Kingdom. Without even thinking about it, PASS is no chance. Under the HeungKong Swire Group, there are many first-tier subsidiaries, such as Swire Co., Ltd., Swire Shipping, Swire Industries, Swire Financial, etc., which have the largest assets and are listed. Swire Co., Ltd., which was listed in May 1973 when it was related to Cathay Pacific. In terms of the shareholding structure, the HeungKong Swire Group holds 34% of the shares of Swire Pacific Limited. Then the Shi Yahuai family holds 17% of the shares through a wholly-owned family trust, and the Singapore Qiu Family holds% At 7.8, Hong Kong Songjia holds 6.7% of the shares, HSBC Bank holds 6.1%, Jiuding Securities holds 4.9%, Standard Chartered Bank holds 4.5%, and Jiuding The insurance shareholding is 3.8%... Although the three companies of the Jiuding Consortium secretly held 13.2% of the shares, Xia Yu did not have any chance to win Swire Limited. It is only because the two parties of the Xiangjiang Swire Group and the Shi Yahuai Family Trust jointly hold 51% of the shares. This equity ratio directly makes everyone give up. This was not the case in the previous few years, but who allowed Xia Yu to hunt the British consortium one after another, so that the Shi Yahuai family quickly increased their shareholding, and it became the current situation. Xia Yu can''t blame anyone or let himself I didn''t directly form the Swire consortium at the beginning, and I have missed the opportunity. Under Swire Pacific Limited, there are three directly affiliated secondary subsidiaries, namely Swire Properties Limited, Swire Airlines Limited and Swire Beverage Holdings Limited. These three companies are not listed, and are 100% controlled by Swire Pacific. So Xia Yu couldn''t do anything on this level. can only continue to look down for opportunities. Under the umbrella of Swire Airlines, it has three three-tier subsidiaries, namely the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, Cathay Pacific Airways and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. Among the three companies, the most important one is undoubtedly Cathay Pacific Airways! Unfortunately, Cathay Pacific Airways is not listed. In terms of the company¡¯s shareholding structure, the parent company Swire Airlines holds 42%, HSBC holds 20%, Hong Kong Songjia holds 16%, and Standard Chartered Bank holds 13%. , The sister company Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company holds 5% of the shares, and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company holds 4% of the shares. Although Cathay Pacific is not a listed company, its parent company, Swire Co., Ltd., is a listed company, so it still has to announce its financial reports on time every quarter and every year. Last year, Cathay Pacific Airways achieved operating income of 2.16 billion Hong Kong dollars, carried 2.15 million passengers annually, and had a net profit of 470 million Hong Kong dollars. In terms of company assets, the most important thing is the aircraft. The company has 21 aircraft, including six Boeing 747 series aircraft, including three of the best Boeing 747-200. The company¡¯s total assets are as high as 3.7 billion. Forty million Hong Kong dollars, net assets are 1.72 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the debt-to-asset ratio is 54%. The debt ratio is not high. In terms of detailed assets, in addition to aircraft, the more important ones are the shares and subsidiaries held. Cathay Pacific Airways holds 24.8% of the shares of its sister company Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company and 4% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company. In addition, there are four fourth-level (group-level) subsidiaries, namely Yajie Laundry Co., Ltd., which is wholly-owned by the largest laundry factory in Xiangjiang, and holds 51% of the shares. , A wholly-owned Cathay Pacific Cargo Company, and an in-flight catering service company that holds 51% of the shares. These four subsidiaries provide favorable guarantees for Cathay Pacific¡¯s services. It''s a pity that these four subsidiaries are either wholly-owned by Cathay Pacific Airways, or they hold 51% of the shares. Xia Yu can''t do anything from here. And to be honest, these four companies would not have developed so well if it were not because they were subsidiaries of Cathay Pacific. So even if Xia Yu acquired it, it would decline after losing Cathay Pacific¡¯s business. So Xia Yu can only look for opportunities at the level of Cathay Pacific and its sister companies. But the opportunity is almost non-existent. Because of the cross-holding of the three companies Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company. In Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity, the parent company Swire Airlines is the largest shareholder holding 42%. HeungKong Airport Ground Services Company and HeungKong Aircraft Engineering Company rank fifth and sixth, holding 5% and 100% respectively. Four-quarters equity. The three companies together hold 51% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity! Even if Standard Chartered Bank owns 13% of the shares, Xia Yu will handle HSBC and the Song family, and the shareholding ratio will only be 49%. The Swire Consortium¡¯s rule over Cathay Pacific will not be shaken! The Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. was listed in 1965. The largest shareholder is the parent company Swire Airlines, which holds 26.2% of the shares; the second largest shareholder is Cathay Pacific, which holds 24%. Eight. 51% of the two! Although Jiuding Securities now holds 17.7% of the shares (previously owned by Jardine Matheson), Standard Chartered Bank holds 10.09% of the shares, and the total is only 28.6. It acquired the shares held by HSBC. 8.4% and 12% of the public are not enough. Not to mention that the public¡¯s equity is absolutely impossible to acquire unless the company is privatized. If the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company cannot be acquired, then its 4% stake in Cathay Pacific Airways will never be bought. Then look at the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company. This company was established in 1961 when the Swire Consortium, Jardine Consortium and Hutchison Enterprises were jointly established. Swire Consortium was 45%, Jardine Consortium was 40%, and Hutchison Consortium was 100%. Of fifteen. But two years ago, when the Jardine Consortium was dismembered, 40% of the equity held by the Jardine Consortium was bought by a Chinese tycoon, and Cao Guangbiao, a tycoon of the Yongxin Group, bought 24%. Huo Yingdong bought 16%. And 15% of Hutchison¡¯s enterprises entered Hutchison Whampoa after the merger of Hutchison International and Whampoa Dockyard, and Hutchison Whampoa was acquired by Xia Yu, so this 15% shareholding Now in the hands of Jiuding Industrial Group. 4% of the original 45% equity of Swire Airways ~ www.novelhall.com~ was transferred to Cathay Pacific Airways. At this time, Swire Airways held 41%. But no matter how the transfer is made, Swire Airlines and Cathay Pacific still hold a total of 45% of the shares in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company. This is the only company in which the Swire Consortium holds no more than 50% of its shares. And because the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company is not listed, the other two shareholders are big Chinese, Cao Guangbiao and Huo Yingdong, Xia Yu has great confidence in taking their shares. But even if they take their equity and add 15% of their own ownership, it will only be 55%, not 67%, and it is impossible to control the board of directors. A veto by Swire Airways can block all important proposals, such as the proposal to sell the company''s 5% of Cathay Pacific''s shares! So this seemingly most likely place to succeed is actually a dead end! Rao is Xia Yu who prides himself on being knowledgeable and resourceful. Facing such an interlocking and flawless situation, a touch of sorrow appeared between his brows. Difficult... Is there really no chance? Xia Yu thought with a headache. PS: In order to design this situation, it took more than four hours to collect information and repeatedly delibrate. The problem lies here. What reasonable method should be used to get Cathay Pacific Airways? It¡¯s time to check the level. Welcome everyone to speak up, crowdfunding to write a book, if everyone¡¯s opinion is good, I will copy the book review directly, and directly comment and participate in the chapter of the book in .asxs. v3 Chapter 975: Make plans for a full-scale war with the Swire Consortium At this moment, Xia Yu glanced at it and suddenly remembered that Huo Jianning was still making an acquisition plan on the desktop. He was too invested in thinking just now, and he ignored this. I don¡¯t know how Huo Jianning planned to face such a difficult situation? Thinking of this, Xia Yu picked up the acquisition plan and turned it over. Acquisition plan There are four acquisition plans written above. The first option is to make the next move and directly acquire the shares of its largest subsidiary Swire Co., Ltd. from HeungKong Taikoo Group. As long as the negotiation can be concluded and then the shares of other shareholders can be acquired, then not only can the entire Swire Airlines be acquired, but also Two promising companies, Swire Properties and Swire Beverages, were also bought. However, the success rate of this method is extremely low. The Shi Yahuai family may not accept the takeover offer at all, and will not give a price opportunity at all. It may even be stunned, making the Shi Yahuai family vigilant, and will not even find a chance in the future. The second option is to start from the source. The Swire Group, the parent company of the HeungKong Swire Group, has been listed in London, and the Shi Yahuai family does not absolutely control the Swire Group in the UK, and can attack the Swire Group in the London market. This method requires a lot of funds, and because it is in the United Kingdom, it involves the British wealthy and aristocrats, the implementation is very difficult, and the success rate is very low. The acquired equity has not reached a certain amount, and it is impossible to replace the equity of HeungKong Swire Group with the shares of Swire Group. Because the HeungKong Taikoo Group is not listed, if it does not control two-thirds of its equity, it will not pass the board of directors and it will not be able to win Cathay Pacific. The third plan is also relatively simple, that is, "Xiangzhuang Wujian intends to be in Peigong", directly initiating a takeover invitation to Swire Airlines, acquiring shares in the listed company, Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, and then acquiring a percent of HSBC Bank After 8.4 equity, and then purchase more than 3% from the secondary market, you can control two-thirds of the voting rights of the chairman. At the same time, by secretly acquiring the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways held by HSBC and Songjia, and then transferring the 4% shares of Cathay Pacific Airways held by Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company to their own hands, they will be able to control more than 50% of Cathay Pacific Airways. One equity. Even if it does not reach the two-thirds ratio, but it exceeds 51%, it can still have a lot of power, occupy a certain amount of initiative, and look for opportunities later. The fourth option is very similar to the third option, that is, it has a different perspective, and because it does not involve listed companies, the target is also Chinese, and the success rate is higher. This plan is to start with the unlisted Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, find a way to buy more than 12% of the equity from Taikoo Airlines, and then acquire the equity of Cao Guangbiao and Huo Yingdong, plus the original percentage. Fifteenth of the equity, reaching two-thirds of the holding line, forcibly approved the transfer of 5% of the equity held by Cathay Pacific. At the same time, we must fix the shares of Cathay Pacific held by HSBC and the Song family. Together with the original shares, we can also achieve control of 54% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s shares. We will slowly find a way later. The success rate of these four programs is increasing, although it doesn¡¯t increase much... But in any case, in the face of such a strict equity structure of the Swire Consortium, Huo Jianning also came up with four action plans, regardless of whether they can be implemented, but they are indeed intentional and worthy of praise. Xia Yu gave Huo Jianning an admiring look, and said with a smile: "Jianning, did you take a lot of effort with this project?" Huo Jianning smiled modestly, and said with some embarrassment: "Chairman, the strength has been lost a lot, but I have to review with you. The several proposals made here are very general, but for the time being, we really can¡¯t think of others. Method." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "I understand that the Taikoo Consortium is too cautious. It will be tricky for anyone to change." "Carefully counted, now the original source of this situation is still with me, which scared the Taikoo consortium. I remember that they were not so strict in equity control before." In the past ten years or so, the Swire Consortium, like the Jardine Consortium, took advantage of the opportunity to acquire Chinese companies. The Jardine Consortium merged more than 200. Although the Swire Consortium is less, it has acquired at least one hundred fifty and sixty. Family. The merger of the Taikoo Consortium is absolutely impossible to use pure cash, nor can it produce all of the cash. So many companies use cash plus equity, or directly re-enlarge shares and merge. In this way, the equity of the companies under the Swire Consortium is not so concentrated. Many of them only hold 20 to 30% of the shares, even for listed companies. The reason why the shareholding ratio is so high is that British consortiums such as Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Consortium have been hunted, and the Shi Yahuai family has to spend a lot of money to increase their shareholding. But where did the money for the increase in equity come from? Xia Yu believes that the Shi Yahuai family can only get a small part, and most of the money must be borrowed. Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning: "Jianning, have you checked the debt situation of the Shi Yahuai family and the various companies in the Swire Group." Huo Jianning shook his head truthfully and said: "Chairman, I have only collected information about Cathay Pacific in the past three days. I have not collected information from the entire Swire Group, but I remember hearing that Swire Group and the Shi Yahuai family have more debts. ." Xia Yu nodded to express understanding, but in his heart he wanted to ask Liu Tianci and Gals Liddell to do this. They are the presidents of Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. They will be more clear about this matter. Collected from other colleagues. Information is also more efficient. Xia Yu stacked Cathay Pacific''s information and acquisition plan aside, and asked Jianning Huo: "Jianning, the last time you arranged for you to acquire the shares of Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd., it has been more than a month. How is the situation now? ?" Huo Jianning was taken aback, and did not think about why the chairman stopped talking about Cathay Pacific. According to the actual situation, the report: "Chairman, we have acquired a total of 9.75% of the equity, and all the shares are from The shares acquired in each stock market were placed under multiple companies, and they were not disclosed. "Because the news has not been exposed, the stock price of Pioneer Electronics is at a normal rate of increase. Yesterday, the market value of Pioneer Electronics was 182.1 billion yen." Faced with the multinational listed island pioneer electronics company, it can achieve this level in one month, and the progress is already fast. Xia Yu smiled and emphasized after the comment: "The progress is good, you have a good grasp of the situation, speed is not the first, the key is the number of stock acquisitions." Huo Jianning solemnly replied: "I understand!" This time the performance involved whether he could remove the word "agent" on his head, and he couldn''t help but care less. "Do you have anything else?" "temporarily unavailable." "That''s OK, you go ahead!" "Okay, then chairman, I will resign first." Xia Yu smiled, watching Huo Jianning exit the office and gently close the door. He picked up the Cathay Pacific information and acquisition plan that he had on hand, walked down from the desk to the leather sofa, sat down in a comfortable sitting position, opened the information again, looked at it, and stopped to think from time to time. There are now only two large British-funded consortia in Hong Kong, namely the Swire Consortium and Wheelock. As far as Xia Yu knows, Wheelock¡¯s internal struggle is now fierce The relationship between the Ma Deng family and the Zhang family is very stale. If it hadn¡¯t been for the good development of its real estate business, Wheelock would have been dragged down by its loss-making shipping business. Into the quagmire. The Swire Consortium, as a benchmark for British-funded enterprises in addition to HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, has a greater influence than the four major British consortia at that time. Neither the British government nor the Hong Kong government would like to see the Swire Group fall like the Jardine Consortium and Hutchison Huang Po. So even if Xia Yu is confident to handle the pressure of the British government, he does not want to fight the Swire Consortium in all aspects for the time being. Unless it is a last resort. He is going to collect the debt situation of Shi Yahuai''s family and Swire Group, and he is more prepared. The best situation is undoubtedly to delineate the acquisition battle under Swire Airlines. Of course, if things really get up then, he won¡¯t be afraid, just fight! For a long time, Xia Yu read all the information once again. On the notebook on the table, he wrote three words one after another in his pen according to the degree of difficulty he thought-Taikoo Airlines, Songjia, and HSBC. He frowned and thought for a while, then wrote again. Lao Huo, Cao Guangbiao. After a long time of deliberation, he wrote the word "old bag" at the bottom. "I can only try it first. Whether it can succeed or not depends on whether the Shi Yahuai family is greedy enough, is it really so vigilant..." "I hope it goes as smoothly as possible..." PS: I¡¯m ninety-nine percent sure that you can¡¯t guess what the protagonist intends to do. If you don¡¯t believe it, just write it in the chapter and say it. v3 Chapter 976: Reverse Xiangjiangs future with ones own power On the morning of May 1, Xia Yu called Liu Tianci and Gals Liddell to his office, and spent nearly half an hour assigning them related tasks, urging them to speed up while ensuring that the information is complete. Xia Yu has decided not to find Bao Yugang so quickly until the data collection is complete, so as to avoid unexpected incidents, but missed opportunities due to insufficient preparation. A few days later, Liu Shihao came to Xia Yu''s office with a full smile. "Chairman, the final plan we discussed with the Hong Kong government has come out. MacLehose asked me to bring it over for you to review. If you have no comments, then cooperate in accordance with this plan and announce it to the public." Talking, Liu Shihao respectfully handed to Xia Yu a thick pile of documents with only the code "HK009" written on the cover and the word secret in the upper left corner. Xia Yu took it and said, "Find a place to sit down," and then read it on his own. From the table of contents, Xia Yu knew the general content of this document. The Hong Kong Government really integrated the plan for the construction of the Science and Technology Industrial Park and the plan for the construction of the new town of Tin Shuiwei. The building plan for the new town of Tin Shui Wai is placed in the first half of the document. The building of the new town of Tin Shui Wai was documented a few years ago, so it has already had a complete framework and overall plan. Under Xia Yu¡¯s proposal this time, the Hong Kong government mainly adjusted the original construction plan of the new town in Tin Shui Wai based on the actual situation. Anyway, it''s been more than two years. The construction of the new town in Tin Shui Wai has basically been quiet, the adjustment is very difficult, and there is almost no actual cost, as long as the policy is adjusted. Xia Yu focused on some text and data. For example, the new town of Tin Shui Wai will be divided into two parts, the southern part and the northern part. The dividing line is Tian Hua Road. Because of the distance to the fenced villages such as Tin Shui Wai and Xiangjiangwei, and the closer distance to the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, the Hong Kong Government will give priority to the construction of the southern urban area. The most critical one is the public housing construction plan. The Hong Kong Government will build 50,000 public housing units in the south. The construction period is three years. The sole contractor is Jiuding Real Estate Group. In terms of public housing, even the application criteria and procedures, purchase methods, loan partners, etc. are clearly written. The mortgage partners are Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. In principle, in order to facilitate management, no new lending banks will be added. Then there is the construction of various public facilities, including schools, hospitals, etc. This time the Hong Kong government has demonstrated its responsibility. The document stipulates that the main investment in public facilities is the Hong Kong government and the contractor is Jiuding Real Estate Group. The construction plan of the new town of Tin Shui Wai is behind the construction plan of the Yuen Long Technology Industrial Park. began with the strategic planning of Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. The planned area of ??the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is 30 square kilometers, which basically covers the entire Xiacun Township and most of the area of ??Pingshan Township. The Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park has set up a special park management committee, which will be directly managed by the management committee. The personnel assignment will be directly appointed by the Hong Kong government and will be directly administered by the Hong Kong government across the Yuen Long District. Yuen Long Technology Industrial Park also designated the sole contractor as Jiuding Real Estate Group. The document also stipulates the nature of the land in Xiacun Township and Pingshan Township. Following the original document requirements, the nature of the land cannot be changed to commercial land, and the land involved in planning is not allowed to be acquired by anyone except Hong Kong government expropriation. At the end of the document, it also clarified the payment method of the Hong Kong government. 70% of the payment is converted into land. The land is divided into two parts: commercial land in Tin Shui Wai New Town and industrial land in Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. The price is also regulated according to the current actual price, and the Hong Kong government will no longer change it. The remaining 30% of the funds will be deducted from the tax of the company designated by Jiuding Real Estate Group. This enlarges the scope. There is no clear stipulation that the tax revenue of enterprises in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park must be deducted even for the tax revenue of Jiuding Real Estate Group. The reason why the Hong Kong Government agreed to this is also because of the preferential support policies of Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park for enterprises entering the park. The document stated the development direction of the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park and the conditions for the establishment of enterprises. Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is positioned as a high-tech park, focusing on the development of electronic semiconductors, high technology, heavy machinery manufacturing, petrochemicals, biopharmaceuticals and other fields. For example, enterprises in textiles, toys and other fields that do not meet the requirements will not be accepted by the park. Companies that meet the requirements have different levels of enjoyment policies for entering the park, with a minimum of 15% of the basic tax. Companies with an investment of more than US$20 million can also enjoy the "two exemptions and three exemptions." The policy of "halving", those with a little less investment can enjoy the policy of "one exemption and two halvings, anyway, the incentives are directly proportional to the investment. In addition, various preferential policies have been subdivided according to different industries, different investment amounts, number of recruits, and industrial scale. Considering that Hong Kong is a free port at this time, it has always been a zero-tariff policy, so the cost advantage of Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is greater than that of Hsinchu Science and Technology Park. Moreover, Xiangjiang is an international trading port. It is more convenient to purchase and sell various materials, and the transportation is extremely convenient. Naturally, it has the advantage of developing manufacturing. Therefore, after seeing such strong support policies formulated by the Hong Kong government, Xia Yu''s confidence in building the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park has skyrocketed again. McLehose is really awesome this time! After reading the documents, Xia Yu realized that there was no major omission. But he cautiously called the think tank and the heads of related companies for a meeting. The meeting lasted until 5 o''clock in the afternoon and sorted out some small opinions. He then ordered Liu Shihao to bring his opinions to the Hong Kong government to communicate with MacLehose. Before communicating, Xia Yu made a special call to MacLehose to express his attitude and praise MacLehose, which made MacLehose feel good. Thinking that it would take another week or so for the Hong Kong government to amend and publish the documents, Xia Yu called Wang Qi again and asked him to short-sell major real estate companies within five days, especially the Cheung Kong Group, which is related to the new town of Tin Shuiwei. Xia Yu can be sure that as long as the Hong Kong government announces the plan to the society this time, it will shake the entire Hong Kong River and the real estate industry will suffer serious negative effects. Think about it, the "Ten-Year Housing Project" proposed by MacLehose before is to provide Hong Kong residents with well-equipped public housing units with a reasonable living environment before 1982. Nine years have passed. , Only built more than 140,000 public housing units and solved the housing problem of more than 600,000 residents. The efficiency is actually relatively slow. But this time, the 50,000 public housing plan was designated to be constructed by Jiuding Real Estate Group, the leader of Xiangjiang Real Estate, and it was stipulated that the construction should be completed and delivered within three years. With the strength of Jiuding Real Estate Group, this can be done. Assuming that a household has an average of four to five people, that 50,000 public housing units can solve the housing problem of 200,000 to 250,000 residents. According to the data released by the Hong Kong Government at the beginning of the year, Hong Kong now has a population of 5.06 million. In other words, within three years, public housing in the new town of Tin Shuiwei alone will be able to solve the housing problem of nearly one-twentieth of the population of Hong Kong. In addition, the Hong Kong government¡¯s public housing construction plan is still ongoing. Four hundred thousand people will live in public housing. And now there are 1.5 million residents in Xiangjiang living in public housing, so the real estate market can be imagined. Although the 50,000 public housing units this time are basically facing Yuen Long District, it is the residential real estate market in Yuen Long District that has been destroyed. The Cheung Kong Group is most directly affected. However, residents in other districts will definitely be affected after seeing the Hong Kong government''s efforts to build public housing. They hope that the Hong Kong government can build public housing in their area. These consumers who are on the verge of being able to buy housing will definitely be affected. Some are affected and choose to wait and see and wait, and other real estate development companies will also be affected. This is a negative impact on the entire real estate consumer market of Hong Kong. It is no wonder that the stock prices of listed real estate companies do not fall. Of course, Xia Yu also considered knowing many bigwigs. In order to save face, Xia Yu also asked Wang Qi to add a few more shells during the operation, not to expose Jiuding Securities directly. At 9 a.m. on May 10, the Hong Kong government held a grand press conference, which was jointly broadcasted by Global Satellite TV and TVB, inviting all Hong Kong media and foreign media in Hong Kong to participate. At the press conference, it was announced and interpreted the Hong Kong government''s "Strategic Plan for Building a New Town in Tin Shuiwei and Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park" and "Working Opinions on Promoting the Development of "One Core, Six Pillars" Strategic Leading Industries" spirit. After listening to the contents of the document, all the participants and the viewers in front of the TV who followed all of this closely, their heads were buzzing. Xiangjiang is going to have something big! Xia Yu in the office couldn''t help laughing, full of pride in his chest. The great change of Xiangjiang began today! He changed the future of the whole Xiangjiang with his own power! From now on, Xiangjiang will embark on a completely different path from the previous life. A large part of his memory about Xiangjiang in his previous life will be lost. But he doesn''t care! Although the future of Xiangjiang has become elusive, it also represents that Xiangjiang has an infinite future! And the future of him and the Jiuding Consortium will become even brighter! v3 Chapter 977: 1 billion investment, 200,000 annual output! The Hong Kong government¡¯s press release will affect the rapid spread, and the first response is the capital market. Of all the real estate companies listed on the four major exchanges, one is counted as one, and their share prices have fallen. After the major evening papers in the evening and the financial channel in the evening further reported and interpreted the Hong Kong government¡¯s press conference today and the two documents, the influence expanded dramatically. Early the next morning, the headlines of almost all newspapers were related news. In order to stand out from the crowd, many newspapers focused on analyzing the impact of the Hong Kong government''s two documents on the future of Hong Kong and the difficulty of implementation. But no matter which newspaper, they all expressed a pessimistic view of the real estate market, and some newspapers focused on the Cheung Kong Holdings Group, which has taken a lot of land in the new town of Tin Shuiwei to prepare for development. After the stock market opened in the morning, the stock prices of all major real estate companies opened and plunged, and Cheung Kong Holdings Group suffered the most. However, Xia Yu only got a little understanding and then left it behind and let Wang Qi follow and deal with it. because there was a more important thing that attracted his attention. Since the last general election, candidates who knew they had no chance of winning and had gained enough exposure have given up and relied on standing in line to gain more political benefits. After ten days of fierce struggle and competition. Yesterday, that is, May 10, France, the second round of voting in the French presidential election, and also the last round of voting was held on time, and the final result was finally known. The leader of the Socialist Party, Fran?ois Mitterrand, with 61% of the votes, strongly defeated the incumbent President Giscar Destin, who won only 39% of the votes, and successfully ascended the throne of the President. Of course, the result is set, but Fran?ois Mitterrand really needs to go through a grand ceremony to sit on this throne. The time for the inauguration ceremony of the president has been set, and it is scheduled for 9 am on May 14. Xia Yu found a suitable time to call Fran?ois Mitterrand to congratulate him. The energetic Fran?ois Mitterrand was not blindly arrogant because of his summit. He thanked Xia Yu again and again on the phone, and also sent an invitation to Xia Yu to attend his inauguration. However, considering that Roche was still calculating In the Er family, Xia Yu refused his invitation, making Fran?ois Mitterrand a little regretful. ¡­¡­ May 14th, 9 o''clock in the morning Paris time, and around 3 o''clock in the afternoon Hong Kong time. Fran?ois Mitterrand held an inauguration ceremony at the French Presidential Palace-Elysee Palace and became the fourth president of the Fifth Republic of France. In order to consolidate the victory, his first order after taking office was to dissolve the National Assembly and prepare to re-elect cabinet members with the help of the general trend. Only by letting his single-minded Socialist Party occupy the majority of seats in the National Assembly, can he have greater authority in the subsequent reorganization of the cabinet and lay a solid foundation for the full implementation of his own policies and proposals in the future. The re-election of the National Assembly and the appointment of cabinet members would take a month. This month is destined for Fran?ois Mitterrand to carry out a series of intense activities. As for giving back to Xia Yu''s help, it will only proceed slowly after everything has stabilized. Xia Yu knows this very well. He has patience... On May 17, the sky was clear. On this day, two breaking news broke out, making the news about the Hong Kong government¡¯s plan that had been waning once again exploded. Xiangjiang Tiangong Automobile Group announced that it will enter the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. The first phase will invest 500 million Hong Kong dollars to build a large-scale automobile manufacturing plant. The annual output will reach 100,000 vehicles. There are two major cars in Italy, Lamborghini and British Lotus. Running car company provides technical support to produce practical cars with high quality and affordable prices. The next news was even more exciting. The British Rolls-Royce Motor Group has registered and established the Rolls-Royce Motor Group Xiangjiang branch in Hong Kong. It will communicate with Jiuding Real Estate Group to build its own production base. The first phase will also invest 500 million Hong Kong dollars to build an annual output. After the completion of the 100,000-unit car manufacturing plant, this manufacturing plant will accept orders transferred from the UK to produce vehicles of Bentley Continental, Riley, Jaguar, MINI and other brands that are currently on the market. The news of Tiangong Automobile Group is a little better. The company''s reputation is not big, and the hot spot is the investment of 500 million Hong Kong dollars. But the reputation of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is extraordinary! In a series of films shot by Galaxy Film Company, Rolls-Royce brand cars appear as the most high-end luxury cars, and they are particularly well-known in Xiangjiang. And Rolls-Royce Motor Group itself is a giant in the British automobile industry. Now it has invested 500 million yuan to build a factory in Hong Kong, which has had a huge impact on the hearts of many people. There were still many people who were worried about the future of Xiangjiang, but the big hand of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group gave many people confidence, and the mentality of some rich people has also changed. This change is undoubtedly quite positive and has greatly reduced Xiangjiang¡¯s capital outflow. On the other hand, the two auto companies combined to invest 1 billion in real money to support the Hong Kong government¡¯s policy. In addition to making MacLehose feel better about it, it also made some wealthy people treat the Hong Kong government. With confidence in the industrial plan of "one core, six pillars", I began to wonder if I also set foot in these industries. in Yuen Long District. The infrastructure team of Jiuding Real Estate Group has moved in, and at the same time it has released the first batch of recruitment brochures with a number of up to 5,000 people. The remuneration is very generous, and only local residents from Xiacun Township and Pingshan Township are recruited. And in order to enhance the inflammatory and infectious power, the recruitment brochure has taken a very deliberate title-one heart, build your own warm home! After the announcement of the recruitment guideline, the people in Xia Village and Pingshan Township immediately boiled, and there was a flood of applicants, and ordinary residents responded positively to the Hong Kong government¡¯s policies. It''s better several times. The construction of the new town of Tin Shui Wai and the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park has ushered in a good start! ¡­¡­ On the blue sea, a luxury cruise ship anchored. Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong took their families together on the cruise ship. Some were fishing, some were barbecue, and some were playing cards. It was so uncomfortable. After fishing for a while, Xia Yu and the three principals came to the upper deck and sat down around a folding table. Xia Yu opened the briefcase, took out a stack of documents and placed it on the desktop, and said casually to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, a month ago, I didn¡¯t let me collect the valuable land and companies in Xiangjiang. The information is basically here.". "You choose your own goals, which one you want to circle yourself!" "At that time, we will act separately according to our goals!" v3 Chapter 978: 3 obstacles "A Yu, you are the strongest and you have more options, then we won''t be polite to you." Bao Yugang laughed loudly. Xia Yuhun smiled carelessly: "You''re welcome, if other people listened to it and thought I was going to give you something like that, no matter how many choices, don''t you want to buy it yourself?" Huo Yingdong laughed and said jokingly: "Old Bao, A Yu has said so, then we don''t have a psychological burden, let go of the hook, anyway, A Yu''s bank will help us with the money." "That''s a good point!" "Hahaha..." Seeing the two of them laughing and starting to look at it, Xia Yu couldn''t help crying or laughing. But he didn''t take it to heart either. After all, the joke was a joke. With Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s calmness, they would not venture into such matters. Sure enough, in the end, even though Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s two selected targets together exceeded the value of four billion Hong Kong dollars, they were all within their abilities. Xia Yu took a look. The combination of their two choices is very reasonable, including old buildings in downtown areas and old companies with large properties and land, and land and companies in the suburbs. The investment in the development of commercial real estate and the development of residential real estate is between 46 to 50%. So in fact, the two will invest a total of more than four billion Hong Kong dollars on land in the suburbs. On Xia Yu''s side, in order to suppress the housing prices in Xiangjiang, he also discussed roughly with Liu Shihao that the first batch of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars will be used to stock up on cheap land in the suburbs. In this way, the three of them would have to spend more than nine billion Hong Kong dollars just to buy land in the suburbs. Generally speaking, in the real estate field, the land cost is basically about 30%, and the construction cost is also about 30%. The total marketing cost and gray cost are between 10% and 20%. The final profit is 20% to 30%. Of course, if the cost of stocked land is very low, and the land is developed for a long time, when the land price soars, the proportion of land cost will be much lower and the profit will be very large. However, the land purchased by Xia Yu is with an important mission. It is destined to be developed as soon as possible. It may be completed within three or four years, so 30% of the land cost is just right. So according to 30% of the land cost, the purchase of 9 billion Hong Kong dollars of land will eventually develop low-cost suburban real estate worth more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars! According to statistics, the size of Hong Kong''s mortgage loans last year was 11.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 53% of the sales of the Hong Kong housing development and sales market. The total sales of housing estates for the whole year last year was 21.3 billion taels. Ten million Hong Kong dollars! The market is such a big one. If an average of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of cheap real estate is released every year in the next three years, the impact on the entire residential real estate market in Hong Kong can be imagined! The transaction volume of the residential market not to mention an annual growth rate of 30%, it would be good to be able to maintain the level of the same period last year. If the mystery is discovered by the majority of residents, it is very likely that they will wait with their money in their pockets and only buy houses developed by the company of Xia Yu. After all, to buy a house at a price that is 30% lower, the money saved can be equivalent to the entire income of a person in five, six or even ten years! How about ¡¡¡¡ wait a lot? "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, in addition to the land used to develop commercial real estate, the land for housing development in the suburbs should be started at the same time as possible. If the funds are not enough, my bank will carry it. You don''t have to worry about this." Xia Yu smiled and said to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. "Haha, you just have to say that. After I go back, I will expand the infrastructure company and start construction as soon as possible." Bao Yugang said with a relaxed smile. "In order to curb housing prices, it is necessary to start construction as soon as possible." Huo Yingdong said solemnly. Xia Yu nodded slightly and revealed an extremely important message to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. "In fact, since 1978, although the population of Xiangjiang has been increasing, the growth of the population of right-age buyers has reached its peak. The population of 25 to 49 years old is 1.42 million, and the growth rate is 9%. Point four." "But the year before last and last year, the growth rate of the population of right-age buyers was 7.6 percent and 5.8 percent respectively, almost a cliff-like drop." "The people below me have specially researched, combined with the growth rate of Xiangjiang''s population growth, housing development and sales growth, and the growth rate of the population of right-age buyers, if we do not intervene more, the housing market will reach the ceiling in about two thousand years, unless later A large number of migrants have poured into buying houses." "But nineteen years is enough to double housing prices." "So we have to grab time and fill up the housing market as soon as possible." "If 80% of all Xiangjiang''s home-buying population can buy a house within ten years, then the housing market will have to enter the final stage ahead of schedule." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong believe in Xia Yu''s data analysis. I saw Bao Yugang showing a firm look, and said with a big wave of pride: "Don''t talk about ten years, now is 1981. We strive to destroy all the potential of the housing market before entering the 1990s." "We will do our best to maintain zero growth in housing prices within nine years and allow 80% of the people in Xiangjiang to live in new houses!" Huo Yingdong grinned: "This challenge is very difficult, but I like it!" "Just do it, fight it!" Looking at the two men with determined expressions, Xia Yu laughed and stretched out his hand and said, "Let us three become the three obstacles to the rising housing market in Xiangjiang!" Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other and put their hands on Xia Yu''s. "This stumbling block, I''m sure!" "Behind our three stumbling blocks are millions of Hong Kong citizens. Victory can only be ours!" "Hahaha..." ¡­¡­ After returning, the three of them immediately started to act. It was only on May 23 that Xia Yu learned an extremely important piece of news when talking with Elena on the phone. The British government has begun to discuss the privatization of the extremely important telecommunications industry, and some members have proposed that the "British Telecommunications Act" has been seriously lagging behind, affecting the progress of the British telecommunications industry and its international competitiveness. The latest "British Telecom" law". And Duke Carter Howard received reliable news that, in order to reduce the political resistance to privatization in the telecommunications sector, the British government intends to use one of the two telecommunications giants, Dadong Telegraph Company (Dadong Telegraph). The two telecommunications giants in the UK today are British Telecom and Dadong Communications. The former is a monopolistic giant in the UK. It has the only domestic communication network operation and service license in the UK, as well as telecommunications and postal services. It is properly a giant. The strength of Dadong Communication Company is even worse. It is headquartered in the Caribbean and has international operations. It is responsible for the communication business between the UK and foreign countries and has a large number of subsidiaries. For example, Dadong Communications Company Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., whose main business is the communications business from Xiangjiang to international. In the United Kingdom, the presence of Dadong Telegraph is quite low. If it had not been for the existence of an official department, Dadong Telegraph, it is estimated that 99% of people in the United Kingdom would not have known that there is such a state-owned enterprise. So as long as Dadong Telecom Company successfully privatizes, then the privatization of British Telecom Company is a logical matter. The BT company¡¯s affairs can be put aside. After all, telecommunications and postal services are integrated. The interests involved are too great. No results will be achieved in two or three years. According to the original history, it was only in 1984 that the British government There is still time to sell shares in British Telecom. The key is that the privatization of Dadong Communications must eat meat! Last time Xia Yu had already controlled Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but he only secretly acquired a part of the shares of Dadong Communication Company Xiangjiang Branch. Except for the 20% equity held by the Hong Kong government and a small portion of the equity held by the public, most of the equity is now in the hands of the Caribbean''s Dadong Communications Company. Whether it can completely monopolize the communications industry of Xiangjiang and let oneself out of the territory of the communications industry, it depends on whether this time can seize the opportunity! In order not to miss the opportunity, Xia Yu called her father Duke Carter Howard after talking to Elena to clarify his thoughts on Dadong Communications Company, hoping to get his full help, Duke Carter Howard He agreed without hesitation. Then Xia Yu called George Berkeley again, talked to him for dozens of minutes, clarified the importance and minimum requirements, and repeatedly told him to go all out. How the results are, it depends on whether the next month can break the siege! PS: I went to a party again last night. I was almost unconscious, so I didn¡¯t update it. I¡¯m really sorry, but I still have muscle aches all over my body. I checked it with Baidu. Drinking excessively and slightly acidosis... I¡¯m scared. v3 Chapter 979: Shi Yahuais family is powerful but overly cautious Chapter 979 Shi Yahuai''s family is powerful but overly cautious In order to effectively implement his own strategy of curbing Hong Kong''s housing prices, Xia Yu tilted his working hours to the real estate sector. He went to Jiuding Real Estate Group many times, made field trips and made important instructions based on his own experience and memory, so that Liu Shihao quickly figured out the direction and context of his actions. Another week later... Liu Tianci and Gals Liddell worked together to sort out the information and present it to Xia Yu. In front of these information, the Taikoo Consortium and Shi Yahuai''s family were as if stripped, and there was almost no secret in front of Xia Yu. I have to say that the Swire Consortium deserves to be the second of the four largest British consortiums. Now that the Hong Kong stock market has risen, its strength is increasing day by day. Except for Xia Yu, no other Chinese-funded giants are its opponents. Even the Wheelock consortium is now being pulled further and further by the Swire consortium. The development of the Taikoo Consortium is so good that it is inseparable from the shrewdness and caution of the Shi Yahuai family. But precisely because of the caution of the Shi Yahuai family, the Swire Consortium and Shi Yahuai¡¯s own debt ratio are not low. In the information in Xia Yu''s hand, for the convenience of reading, the unit of Hong Kong dollar is used uniformly, and the assets are all converted according to the exchange rate. Because only some companies in the Swire Group are listed, in the statistics, listed companies calculate the amount of assets based on market value, while unlisted companies estimate the amount of assets based on actual assets, and the two are counted together. Although this calculation is certainly not so rigorous, but this is the simplest and most effective method, and it has no effect on Xia Yu''s actions. After all, the value of the stocks of listed companies is relatively false. If used for bank pledge loans, it is generally about three to five percent off. Stocks worth 10 million Hong Kong dollars can only be loaned about 3 million to 5 million. HSI cost stocks are not bad, the stock pledge rate can reach 50%, but if it is not HSI cost stocks, then I am sorry, the bank will only give a 30% discount to a 3.5% discount, and generally only a 30% discount! If it is a non-listed company, it is more risky in the eyes of banks and securities companies. Few banks and securities companies do the equity pledge business of non-listed companies. Even if they do, the pledge rate given is very low, even As low as 20% off! If the value of a company is quadrupled or five times after it goes public, it will be discounted by 30% after the pledge is taken, and it will be about the same as the amount of assets before the listing. If you consider the risks of the company when it is not listed, it makes sense that the pledge rate of equity and assets for loans is low... Get back to the subject. Let¡¯s start with the Swire Group of the United Kingdom. The group¡¯s total assets are around 24.26 billion Hong Kong dollars, net assets are 8.81 billion Hong Kong dollars, and liabilities are 15.45 billion Hong Kong dollars. The debt ratio has reached 63.7 percent! The HeungKong Swire Group is the most important branch of the British Swire Group, occupying more than six floors of the British Swire Group. The total assets of HeungKong Swire Group are about 15.77 billion Hong Kong dollars, the liabilities are 9.24 billion Hong Kong dollars, the net assets are 6.53 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the group debt ratio is 58%. Sixth, lower than the parent company Swire Group. In the end, it was the Shi Yahuai family itself. The assets of the Shi Yahuai family are mainly under internal family trusts and family funds. Most of the assets are held by the stocks of Swire Group companies, including listed companies and unlisted companies. Because these companies have already calculated their debts when they counted the assets of the Xiangjiang Taikoo Group, in principle, they cannot be counted as the main body of the Shi Yahuai family. The total assets of the Shi Yahuai family are around 8.32 billion Hong Kong dollars, which can be divided into four parts. The first part is the stocks and equity of listed or unlisted companies, valued at approximately HK$6.65 billion. The second part is the fixed assets of the Shi Yahuai family, such as buildings, houses, villas, cars, yachts, etc. The total value of these things is about 460 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a real value without a trace of moisture. It¡¯s just that this part of the assets is more difficult to cash out, but the pledge rate is still relatively high if the mortgage is taken. The third part is that the Shi Yahuai family''s circulating funds in various banks are about 120 million Hong Kong dollars. This is the funds used by the Shi Yahuai family for risk control and will not be used easily, even if these funds are idle! These working capital belong to his family, and are different from the working capital of various companies. The last part is the debts under the name of Shi Yahuai''s family, totaling about HK$1.09 billion! The assets purchased by the loan money also belong to the Shi Yahuai family''s assets, but they are only subtracted when calculating the net assets. But now Xia Yu is not about the amount of the Shi Yahuai family''s net assets, so these responsibilities of the Shi Yahuai family must be included in the calculation. After all, there are explanations in the information. The reason why the Shi Yahuai family¡¯s debt is so high is because of the increase in equity held by loans in the past two years. It can also be seen from this that the Shi Yahuai family is cautious and careful, and it is Xia Yu or Xia Yu who are guarded against. But Shi Yahuai''s family didn''t expect that no matter how they guarded it, Xia Yu would still follow them if he wanted to follow them! "The Shi Yahuai family has a debt of 1.090 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was pledged by stocks of listed and unlisted companies worth 3.1 billion Hong Kong dollars." "So in fact, the first part of Shi Yahuai''s family assets is worth 6.65 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 3.1 billion is untouchable." "The remaining 3.55 billion Hong Kong dollars of equity, even if all the loans are taken, they can only lend about 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but unless Norman Shiya is mentally disabled, he will not go to this path to seek death. The way." "In this way, the Shi Yahuai family seems to have huge assets, but in fact, after the loan of 1.090 million Hong Kong dollars to increase the shareholding, the space for activities has been severely reduced." "The Shi Yahuai family sacrificed offensive power in exchange for their own defense power, but this defense power can prevent others, but it''s hard to say to me...hehe..." Xia Yu thought of this, and the corner of his mouth unknowingly conjured up an arc. The prudence of the Shi Yahuai family has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it strengthens the control over the Swire Group and its various companies, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The funds are trapped and the space for activities is reduced. The difference between stocks and cash is undoubtedly obvious at this point. To give a simple example, if the Shi Yahuai family¡¯s assets are 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, but they all bought 3 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, and these stocks are not money, they can only take the bank pledge loan. Loan back 1 billion to 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Although the total assets of the Shi Yahuai family have increased by 1 billion to 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, the stocks worth 3 billion Hong Kong dollars have been frozen Only the re-loaning of 1 billion to 15 billion Hong Kong dollars can be operated. Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash, this deterrence and actual lethality can''t be compared with 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash! "Now that I understand it, it''s time to act..." After thinking about it, Xia Yu opened the safe behind him, took out a notebook, and reviewed the plans and ideas he had previously written down. It was evening in a blink of an eye. After dinner, Xia Yu bought some fruits and drove to Bao Yugang''s house. After meeting, there was a friendly and warm greeting, and then Xia Yu and Bao Yugang drank tea in the living room and chatted about idle days. After three rounds of tea, Xia Yu talked about the purpose of visiting tonight. "Old Bao, coming to you tonight, mainly because I have an immature idea. See if you can help. I plan to do something with Cathay Pacific!" Bao Yu just wanted to pat his chest and said it was okay, but suddenly heard Xia Yu''s last words, his expression instantly became solemn, and he looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and asked with concern: "Ayu, I remember Cathay Pacific was not listed. ? Even its parent company, Swire Airlines, is not listed. How do you do it?" "Wait...Are you planning to do something with Swire Holdings?" "This is the biggest foundation of the Swire Consortium. If you touch it, Norman Shiyahuai will definitely have to fight you hard!" "How sure are you?" PS: The data setting is too cumbersome. If it is strong, it is unrealistic and it is not easy to write. If it is weak, it is boring to write the plot. The current degree is adjusted seven times. This month¡¯s update is not great, it¡¯s the end of the month, and it will be updated as soon as possible, above! v3 Chapter 980: Officially launched the acquisition of Cathay Pacific Xia Yu laughed blankly, shook his head and asked: "Old Bao, are you so sure that I want to kill the Swire Consortium?" Bao Yugang was taken aback. Through Xia Yu''s reaction, he realized that he seemed to be wrong. He said angrily: "A Yu, think about it for yourself. You took the lead in killing the four major British consortiums, the third Hutchison Whampoa and the strongest Jardine Consortium? At that time, your strength was not enough. Not so strong now!" "Your reputation has spread all over the world. I don''t know how many people are thinking about when you will act on the remaining two British consortiums. Not to mention our Chinese capital, even if Norman Shiyahuai has long been guarded." "You go out and find a colleague and tell him that you are interested in a company of the Swire Consortium. Do you think they think you want to do something to the Swire Consortium?" Xia Yu didn''t expect Bao Yugang to say these things. He condensed his eyebrows and thought, it seems...Is what Bao Yugang really said? However, his face has been perfected and he didn''t feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "I don''t know about this. I have a chance to ask next time." Faced with Xia Yu''s act of pretending to be deaf and dumb, Bao Yugang could only smile helplessly and shook his head. After joking a little, Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said to Bao Yugang: "Old Bao, it is not yet at this point. The British consortium has lost two consortiums, and the influence has been great. If not necessary, the Swire Consortium and Wheelock will keep it as a buffer for the time being, and we will talk about it later." "I just want to buy Cathay Pacific now!" Bao Yugang nodded slightly and thought for a while and said, "I remember Cathay Pacific¡¯s parent company, Swire Airlines, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swire Pacific, right?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu took out a folded drawing from his bag and handed it to Bao Yugang, saying, "Old bag, you will be clear after reading it. This is the equity composition diagram of Swire Airlines and its subsidiaries." Bao Yugang immediately took it and opened it, and looked at it carefully. Xia Yu drank tea to himself, waiting for Bao Yugang to finish reading. About five minutes later, Bao Yu just recovered from his thinking and asked Xia Yu: "Ayu, although Swire Airlines only holds 42% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s shares, it is controlled by Swire Airlines. The shares held by the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company have reached 51%." "Furthermore, considering your current relationship with HSBC, and considering the relationship between HSBC and the Swire Consortium, Shen Bi may be reluctant to sell you 20% of his equity." "And the relationship between the Song family and the Shi Yahuai family is pretty good." "It''s hard for Cathay Pacific to say anything at all!" "What do you plan to do, what you need me to do, just say, I promise to do my best!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "Old Bao, thank you, but don''t pack the tickets so fast, wait until you listen to it before you decide whether it is suitable to help." Bao Yugang smiled and said, "What is appropriate and inappropriate. Based on our relationship and yours, you will not bring up things that embarrass me. Since you come, you just believe me. Why are you polite to me? !" Xia Yu laughed, and said loudly: "Then I will tell you clearly, listen to my thoughts." "Based on the actual situation of Cathay Pacific, it can only use circuitous tactics to outwit, so I plan to catch the second fish and let the Shi Yahuai family bite by themselves!" "I will figure out how to get the equity in Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC and Song Family. In addition, my goal is to hold 5% of the equity in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company." "Look at the equity of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company." Speaking of this, Xia Yu pointed to a position in the equity structure chart in Bao Yugang''s hand. "Swire Airlines only holds 41% of its equity, and then Cathay Pacific holds 4% of its equity, for a total of 45%, and the remaining 55% of the equity is in In the hands of Cao Guangbiao, Lao Huo and me." "I don''t worry about Lao Huo''s equity. Cao Guangbiao''s I am sure to acquire it secretly, so the most important thing is to make Swire Airlines willingly take out at least 12% of the equity." "Under normal circumstances, Swire Airlines will not be willing to take out equity, but the only thing Swire Airlines covets is your equity in Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company." "I hope that you will be able to replace the shares in the ground handling company of Xiangjiang Airport with a portion of the shares with Swire Airlines while maintaining a controlling interest of more than 67% in the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company, and then transfer the shares to me. I took a time difference to complete the absolute holding of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, reorganized the board of directors, and forcibly approved the transfer of the 5% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity held." "I know that if you want to successfully complete the acquisition of more than half of Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity, you need a very high level of coordinated action. Maybe you successfully exchange the equity and sell me, I may not be able to succeed, but this is the current situation. The method with the highest success rate in the case of full-scale war." After speaking, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and looked at Bao Yugang calmly. Bao Yugang smiled and nodded and said, "A Yu, I understand what you mean, I did this!" "Anyway, as long as the absolute controlling interest of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company is with me, I can dilute the equity of Taikoo Airlines at any time. If that happens, there will be opportunities to force them to withdraw." "My only worry is that Norman Shiya will not be deceived by this!" "Moreover, there is a loophole in your plan, that is, among the shareholders of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, there are Cao Guangbiao, Lao Huo and your Jiuding Industrial Group. Norman Shi Yahuai will definitely doubt that I and you, Lao Huo, and Cao Guangbiao are all Realize, why have to spend a lot of money to replace their equity, is there any conspiracy?" Xia Yu looked thoughtful, nodded and said: "Old Bao, let''s do this, I will ask a British company that has nothing to do with us to buy Cao Guangbiao''s equity in advance, and then Lao Huo''s equity, you can make excuses. It has been used to pledge loans, false certificates and contracts, I can be forged. As for my equity, I can tell Swire Airlines that it has been acquired by you." Bao Yugang condensed his eyebrows for a moment, nodded and said: "This is barely justifiable. I acquired 15% of the shares held by Jiuding Industrial Group. The excuse is too little and no right to speak~www.novelhall.com ~ Let Swire Airlines transfer 12 to 15% of the equity to me. They are still the largest shareholder, and I surpassed Cao Guangbiao as the second largest shareholder. This reason should be fine." "Okay, just do what you said. You will acquire Cao Guangbiao''s equity as soon as possible, so I can act." "No problem!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Then he poured tea on Bao Yugang and his own cups, toasted and said with a smile: "Old Bao, thanks!" "Thank you, nothing more!" Bao Yugang smiled carelessly, and also raised his teacup to signal to Xia Yu. After the talks were over, Xia Yu and Bao Yugang chatted for nearly an hour, and when he saw that it was late, he left. Early the next morning, Xia Yu immediately approached Gals Liddell and ordered him to let Standard Chartered Bank come forward to purchase the shares of Xiangjiang Ground Service Company held by Cao Guangbiao. Cao Guangbiao has a relatively deep business relationship with Standard Chartered Bank. Both his Taiping Blanket Company and Yongxin Enterprise Co., Ltd. have borrowed money from Standard Chartered Bank and asked Standard Chartered Bank to purchase from him. Presumably Cao Guangbiao will agree more easily. And Xia Yu also considered another point. After the practice of acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways this time, even if his relationship with Standard Chartered is not exposed, it will arouse suspicion among many people. So instead of looking for a British company to acquire Cao Guangbiao''s equity, it is better to let Standard Chartered Bank come forward. Compared to an unfamiliar British company, the complicated business relationship between the Ethereum Consortium and Standard Chartered Bank is less likely to arouse Norman Shiyahuai¡¯s suspicion. Cathay Pacific Hunting Program. Officially launched! v3 Chapter 981: Completely monopolize the Xiangjiang Power Market (4000 words Arranged for Standard Chartered Bank to acquire Cao Guangbiao''s equity. Xia Yu arranged for the British Bright Fund to make preparations and was responsible for obtaining 20% ??of the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways held by HSBC through HSBC Holdings, the parent company of Hong Kong HSBC Bank. Then he asked Wang Qi to make an effective strategy based on the situation of the Song family to pave the way for future actions. In the end, Xia Yu personally set up Huo Yingdong and explained his ideas to him, hoping to acquire the 16% stake in the ground handling service company of Xiangjiang Airport. Huo Yingdong agreed to Xia Yu''s request without hesitation. Xia Yu originally thought that after June, the first good news would be that Standard Chartered Bank successfully acquired Cao Guangbiao''s equity. But he didn''t expect that he received the good news reported by Wang Qi first. After a long period of public relations and the torture of Zhao Bo from China Power Company, the Kadoorie family was finally tired of coping, and chose to hold back the hatred and bow its head. The Kadoorie family agreed to transfer the 34% of the shares of China Power Corporation, but they made a request to discuss with Xia Yu in person. And stated that the location is 2 Ice House Street, Central, Hong Kong Island-St. George''s Building! This building is a 20-storey Grade A commercial building built by the Kadoorie family in 1968. It is the iconic building of the Kadoorie family on Hong Kong Island. Although somewhat surprised by the Kadoorie family''s request, the St. George''s Building is not the Dragon Lake and Tiger''s Nest. Xia Yu asked Wang Qi to reply to the Kadoorie family, and he will arrive at nine o''clock tomorrow morning. ... Early the next morning, Xia Yu took a complete acquisition team and bodyguard team and drove to Ice House Street, Central, Hong Kong Island. Under the guidance of the waiting reception staff, Xia Yu and the others came to the top floor of St. George''s Building. After the receptionist opened the door, Xia Yu saw seven people sitting inside, the Kadoorie father and son in the middle. It''s just that Roland''s Kadoorie was weak, and he was supported by Michael Kadoorie and stood up. He didn''t walk towards Xia Yu, but calmly nodded to Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn''t care either, and led people to approach without any haste, and reached out to Roland''s Kadoorie: "Mr. Kadoorie, good morning!" "Mr. Xia, you are welcome!" "Please sit down!" Roland Kadoorie said with a calm expression, lukewarm. Xia Yu doesn¡¯t care about Roland¡¯s Kadoorie¡¯s indifferent attitude. After all, he knows what he has done to the Kadoorie family in the past. Roland¡¯s Kadoorie has been fainted by anger. At this time, it is considered that he can look so calm. Not bad. Xia Yu sat down with a golden sword, and the subordinates who came with him also sat next to him. The two sides were clearly separated. There is nothing to talk about with Roland''s Kadoorie, so Xia Yu asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Kadoorie, in order not to delay your time, let''s start now, how about?" Roland Kadoorie nodded slightly and said, "I think so too." Xia Yu immediately asked: "I want your equity in China Power Corporation, can you make a price?" Roland''s Kadoorie looked directly at Xia Yu, and resolutely said: "Thirty-four percent of the equity, as long as you give out 900 million, it is yours. Our Kadoorie family has nothing to do with you anymore. ." Xia Yu looked straight at Rolandz Kadoorie, but the latter did not dodge, his eyes still firm. Xia Yu couldn''t help but chuckled and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, you are the lion''s mouth open. The price is simply unrealistic. You have no sincerity!" According to Roland''s Kadoorie''s bid, 34% of the equity is worth 900 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that in his eyes, China Power Corporation is worth 2.647 billion Hong Kong dollars! This price is simply slippery in the world! You must know that the market value of China Power Corporation at its peak in the past two years was only 1.890 billion Hong Kong dollars, or before Xia Yu''s acquisition of China Power Corporation. After the acquisition, China Power Company was constantly tossed by Zhao Bo, assets have been shrinking, internal conflicts are commonplace, and the stocks are also classified as junk stocks. The market value of China Light and Power Company is now only 874 million Hong Kong dollars! According to the current market value calculation, the value of the CLP Power Company''s equity held by the Kadoorie family is only 297.16 million Hong Kong dollars! Roland Scarborough¡¯s offer is more than three times the actual value! Higher than the market value of the entire China Light & Power Company! No wonder Xia Yuya laughed at him for not being sincere. "Mr. Kadoorie, if I accept your price, then tomorrow the whole Xiangjiang will laugh at me as a fool with a lot of money and nowhere to spend, do you believe it?" Xia Yu leaned forward slightly, crossed his hands on the table, and asked with his head tilted. Rolandus Kadoorie hadn¡¯t spoken yet. His son Michael Kadoorie couldn¡¯t help it. He directly choked, ¡°Mr. Xia, everyone is a sensible person. Just point out that if you didn¡¯t let Zhao Bo transfer assets maliciously. , And suppressed the stock price. Will China Light and Power Company be kicked out of the HSI and become a junk stock?" "If CLP Power is a junk stock company, would you still sit in front of me and talk to us?" "If you do not enter the China Light and Power Company, then according to the normal situation and the overall market trend, the company''s market value has definitely reached more than 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "If you want to buy the equity of our family at the current market value, then I believe there will be many companies in the United States and Europe that are willing to pay a higher price!" "We promised to withdraw from the transfer of equity, but this does not mean that we are bullied!" Four ifs, plus the last sentence, coupled with an angry expression, Miko Kadoori instantly gathered his momentum. But Xia Yu could not feel the pressure. He knew that Michael Kadoorie was just a paper tiger. The Kadoorie family can sell the equity to a foreign company, but someone needs it? They have to really want to do it! According to the current situation of China Light and Power Corporation, companies that do not understand the situation abroad will not pay high prices even if they want to buy it. If they know the situation, they will hesitate to pick up this hot yam. Furthermore, if the equity is sold to a foreign company, the Kadoorie family chooses to make the already bad relationship worse. The other assets of the Kadoorie family are basically in Hong Kong, including companies in the fields of real estate, textiles, carpets, and rubber. With the current power of the Jiuding Consortium, if Xia Yu deliberately wants to smash them, then the future of their Kadoorie family is completely predictable, and the Jiuding Consortium can encircle the Kadoorie family in all directions. The Kadoorie family will hold back the hatred and negotiate with Xia Yu, all for the family''s future interests. Because Xia Yu had this knowledge in his heart, he didn''t care about Michael Kadoorie''s last bluff. Now that the Kadoorie family has shown a gesture of submission, there is no need for him to be cheap and behave in order to save them some face. He only smiled and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, I never thought you were bullying, and I didn''t have this idea. It''s just a matter of fact." "I didn''t say that it is calculated based on the current market value, but since you think it is not appropriate, then I will give you the Kadoorie family a face, based on the current market value, a premium of 40%." After speaking, he looked at his subordinates next to him and said, "How much is it?" The subordinates had already calculated it, and immediately reported the result: "The premium is 40%, which is 416 million Hong Kong dollars!" Xia Yu smiled and looked at Roland Kadoorie again, and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, I am already very sincere at this price, right?" "I usually buy companies, often at par or lower prices, and the highest premium is 20%!" Michael Kadoorie raised his brows, and just wanted to argue, he was stopped by Rolandz Kadoorie. I saw Roland Kadoorie staring at Xia Yu and said: "Mr. Xia, the shrinking assets of China Light and Power Company have entered the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, and the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company is your company. You have invaded our interests. Now But pretending to be generous, isn''t this too much?" Although Xia Yu did this, he couldn''t admit it. He shook his head and denied: ¡°Mr. Kadoorie¡¯s words can¡¯t be said indiscriminately. Why China Light and Power Company is listed as a junk stock? The reason is that the company¡¯s management is chaotic and the business situation and revenue are very bad. Is the board opposed for the sake of opposition?" "Which proposal Zhao Bo proposed to the board of directors is not beneficial to the company?" The accusation made by Xia Yu is true, and public opinion outside is also the same, so Roland Kadoori certainly will not argue with Xia Yu in this regard, and it is untenable. So he took a step back, maintained his decency with high-sounding words, and offered another price. "The development of the company is related to all members. The reason why we oppose it is because the proposal is unreasonable, which will bring huge risks to the company." "We need to take responsibility, but only a small part of it. To show our family''s responsibility, I can take a step back and the price is 100 million Hong Kong dollars lower, which is only 800 million!" ... Both sides took a step back, and the price negotiation was finally on the right track. Next, not only Xia Yu and Roland Kadoorie and his son negotiated, but the negotiators from both sides also participated in the negotiations. After more than an hour of intense negotiation, the prices of the two parties are very close. Xia Yu offered 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Kadoorie family offered 620 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu and Lorenz Kadoorie looked at each other and fell silent. As for the others, they did not speak. Everyone present knows that the final decision is in the hands of two people, and they will only bid again, depending on who speaks. Xia Yu knows that in today''s negotiations, the price is not what Roland Kadoorie really cares about. It is said that more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to save face. What he cares more about is other things, which is the key to Roland''s Kadoorie needing Xia Yu to negotiate in person. Before Xia Yu came, he was ready. Based on the performance of the Kadoorie family in the negotiations just now, Xia Yu is willing to give this thing. In his opinion, among the other assets of the Kadoorie family, there is no longer what he needs. He smiled and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, since we have reached this level, then we should take a step back and I will add 10 million Hong Kong dollars, 610 million Hong Kong dollars!" "Without the burden of the China Light and Power Company, it has increased by 610 million Hong Kong dollars. I believe that with the capabilities of you and Mr. Kadoorie, the Kadoorie family will have a smooth path in other fields." "I think we will still have opportunities for win-win cooperation in the future, and it must be a pleasant one." "What do you think?" Roland''s Kadoorie squinted his eyes and took a deep look at Xia Yu. There was a smile on the wrinkled old face, and he said profoundly: "Mr. Xia has never missed his speech on the capital market. The outlook for the future will certainly not be wrong, so it is your blessing." "This can''t be wrong, I wish the Kadoorie family a bright future!" Xia Yu hugged his fists and smiled calmly, with a deep meaning in his smile. The father and son Rolandz Kadoorie and Michael Kadoorie breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, Rolandz Kadoorie told his subordinates: "Get the contract ready." After that, the subordinates of both parties became busy together, and a complete contract was soon drawn up. After confirming that there were no traps, Xia Yu and Roland Kadoorie formally signed the contract. Finally, Xia Yu had an additional transaction contract and proof of equity in front of him. After Xia Yu signaled to his subordinates to put it away, he got up and stretched out his hand to Roland Kadoorie. The latter stood up with the support of Michael Kadoorie and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xia Yu. "Mr. Kadoorie, thank you for your generosity!" "Wait, I have to trouble you to arrange someone to follow me on a trip to Jiuding Bank. All the money will be credited to your HSBC bank account." Xia Yu smiled and said to Roland Kadoorie. "No problem, wait for me to let Michael go with you." Roland Kadoorie finished speaking, then looked at his son, who nodded immediately. Considering that noon was approaching, Xia Yu immediately took Michael Kadoorie to Jiuding Bank. St. George''s Building is in Central on Hong Kong Island. The HSBC headquarters is 50 meters away, and Jiuding Bank is only more than 40 meters away from St. George''s Building. Liu Tianci received Xia Yu''s instructions yesterday, so he stayed at the headquarters this morning. When Xia Yu arrived with Michael Kadoorie, he immediately arranged for personnel to transfer the funds and put 610 million Hong Kong dollars into the account designated by Michael Kadoorie. Then he personally accompanied Michael Kadoorie to the HSBC Bank and agreed with Shen Bi on the subsequent transfer procedures of funds. Of course, Xia Yu doesn''t care about these things anymore. He only knew that after taking the equity of the Kadoorie family, in addition to the total of 3.6% of the equity still held by the public, he actually already held 96% of the CLP Power Company. Diansi''s equity plus the wholly-owned Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, he completely monopolized the power market of Xiangjiang and became the veritable king of electricity! In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Bo, President of China Power Corporation, formally applied for delisting to the oldest Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Despite repeated persuasion by the shocked chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in the face of Zhao Bo''s resolute attitude and high shareholding ratio, he could only sign and approve the agreement with a sigh. The exchange suspended trading of the China Light & Power Company''s stock in the afternoon and issued an explanatory announcement. After the news came out, the exchange was shaken and the whole Hong Kong was shocked, and then the influence spread to Southeast Asia at a rapid pace... PS: Actually speaking, the Kadoorie family has suffered a loss for the purchase price of 610 million. The market value of China Light and Power Company was around 1.89 billion before the decline. Xia Yu had acquired at least a 20% premium before. Xia Yu has another title of "The King of Electricity" on his head. Don''t you vote for congratulations? Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 982: $291 million to get it done "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" In the office of the chairman of Jiuding Building, Xia Yu, who was reviewing the documents, heard a knock on the door and said without raising his head. Then the door opened, Huo Jianning walked in, Xia Yu raised an eyebrow, put down the pen, and asked, "Jianning, what''s the matter?" "Chairman, the share purchase of Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. in the island country has almost reached the top. A total of 33.5% of the shares have been acquired, just over one-third of the line. The specific process is on the top, please have a look! " Huo Jianning briefly reported, and then respectfully put the acquisition report in front of Xia Yu. "Sit down first and make your own tea if you are thirsty!" "Ok!" Xia Yu changed a relaxed posture, leaned back on the soft and comfortable leather boss chair, and opened the acquisition report. The acquisition report made by Huo Jianning is very detailed, with progress every day. For example, on March 24, it acquired 0.24% of the shares from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and 0.15% of the shares from the Osaka Stock Exchange. The total acquisition of 0.39% on the same day Of equity. ... On April 21, it acquired a 0.25% stake from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and a 0.117% stake from the Tokyo Stock Exchange... On April 30th, 0.33% of the equity was acquired from the New York Stock Exchange... Especially as the end of May is approaching, the number of shares acquired in exchanges in various places has been quite small. The target of the acquisition is mainly for the top 20 shareholders, and they are the shareholders who are purely financial investment. At that point, it is actually very difficult to hide, even if the equity acquired before is scattered across the accounts of different leather bag companies. After all, the Island Pioneer Company is listed on four exchanges, and there are not many stocks that are shared by each exchange. If there are few public stocks, the reaction caused by a little disturbance will be relatively greater. Therefore, the report stated that the market value of Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. has risen to 205.8 billion yen, which is a 14% increase from two months ago. The acquired 33.5% of the equity cost a total of 291 million U.S. dollars. Except for the 100 million U.S. dollars provided by Xia Yu, the remaining funds are all self-funded by the four wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tiangong Group, mainly relying on self-operated funds, and a small part of it depends on loans. The specific amount is based on The subsequent equity allocation is determined, and a subsidiary will not suffer a loss. The report also stated that, in order to maximize the role and benefits, the plan is to allocate equity according to the following scheme: The Tiangong Electronics Company, which has the most direct effect, holds 13.4% of the shares, and Tiangong Automobile, which can use car audio The group holds 10% of the shares, the remaining equity is when Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company holds 5.1%, and Tiangong Machinery Group holds 5%. ... "I have finished reading the report, and I did a great job!" "Since the acquired stocks have passed one-third of the total amount, it is possible to achieve the goal of strategic shareholding. No amount of it will be wasted. After all, the stocks of this company are not cheap, and the province still has to save." "Your equity distribution plan is also very thoughtful. Just follow this." "The next thing you have to do is to transfer the equity from the account of the leather bag company to the four companies, and then enter the board of directors of Pioneer Electronics." "Island countries are different from Xiangjiang. We must be cautious when choosing various agents and directors. The ultimate goal is to maximize the influence of Pioneer Electronics in the island country. You can take it yourself!" Xia Yu showed admiration and was in a good mood, he said more. Huo Jianning nodded solemnly and replied: "Okay, I will definitely think more and act carefully according to your guidance." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and said with a faint smile: "From now on, remove the word''agent'' from your head, and you are the chairman of Tiangong Group." This time Huo Jianning''s actions in the capital market, Xia Yu is generally satisfied, and Xia Yu is also assured to give Huo Jianning a burden to accelerate his growth, so the promise he made at the beginning should be fulfilled. Huo Jianning was pleasantly surprised, and immediately got up and bowed to Xia Yu. "Thank you, Chairman, I will continue to work hard and make more contributions to the company, and I will never disappoint you!" With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said encouragingly: "Keep working hard, I will see your performance in the future." "If it''s okay, go ahead." "Okay, then I won''t disturb you!" After speaking, Huo Jianning stepped back cautiously, and left vigorously after going out. Looking at the acquisition report left on the desktop, Xia Yu smiled, then picked it up and put it in the shredder to shred it. With the equity of Pioneer Electronics in the island country, Tiangong Group will have an important puzzle. Tiangong Electronics can use many key technologies and develop and produce related products; Tiangong Automobile Group will have a greater advantage in car audio; Gongji Group can enter the industrial audio field; Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company can develop and produce home audio products. All in all, this equity acquisition is of extraordinary significance! ... Regarding Xia Yu''s order to acquire Cao Guangbiao''s equity, Gals Liddell was very active and put it first in all his work. From the order to the completion of the acquisition, it took exactly one week! And the purchase price is not too high. Twenty-four percent of the equity cost 90 million Hong Kong dollars! According to the company rankings in the latest issue of "Economic Weekly", the valuation of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company is only 350 million Hong Kong dollars, and the main value is concentrated in Cathay Pacific, which is worth more than 100 million. Aviation equity, company buildings and some land above. According to this estimate, 24% of the equity should be worth 84 million Hong Kong dollars, and Standard Chartered¡¯s acquisition of equity from Cao Guangbiao is only a seven-point premium. Xia Yu was a little curious about how Gals Liddell could complete the task with such high efficiency and high quality. The answer was that Cao Guangbiao¡¯s Yongxin Enterprise was planning to expand its factory on a large scale. With this opportunity, he asked for more loans, and Cao Guangbiao is already planning to push Yongxin Enterprise is listed, and he hopes that Standard Chartered Bank can become the main underwriter of his company''s listing and help him make market-making to push up the stock price. Of course, Gals Liddell did not hesitate to agree to this kind of empty check. Anyway, the future is uncertain, so I will talk about it at that time. After encouraging Gals Liddell, Xia Yu told him to prepare for acting, and then immediately notified Bao Yugang, to inform him of Cao Guangbiao''s equity acquisition, and he could start acting there. Bao Yugang, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately sent an invitation to Swire Airlines in the name of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company. The president of Swire Airlines is Wade Shiyahuai, who is the cousin of Norman Shiya, the head of the Shiyahuai family. During the meeting, Bao Yugang proposed to invest in the ground handling service company of Hong Kong Airport. The purpose is to deepen cooperation and optimize the service quality and operational efficiency of Kai Tak International Airport to achieve a win-win situation. I have to say that Wade Shi Yahuai was sufficiently vigilant to face Chinese capital. He tentatively asked Bao Yugang some questions, but it was a pity that Bao Yugang was an old world, and he did not show any abnormality. Some regretful Wade Shiyahuai excuses that he needs to think about it, and will give him a reply three days later, and then the meeting is over. After Bao Yugang left, Wade Shi Yahuai immediately summoned his subordinates to study Bao Yugang''s true intentions. In the evening, he came to Norman Shiyahuai''s villa and reported the incident to the latter. "..." "Uncle This is how things are. I have convened people to study, but it is still unclear what Bao Yugang''s purpose is." Wade Shi Yahuai finished speaking and looked at Norman Shi Yahuai quietly. Norman Shiyahuai thought for a long time and asked his nephew Wade: "Wade, I remember how many Chinese shareholders in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, right? What is our shareholding ratio?" Wade Shiyahuai immediately replied: "Uncle, Swire Airlines owns 41% of the shares in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services Company, plus Cathay Pacific''s 4%. We hold a total of 4%. Forty-five equity." "In addition, Cao Guangbiao personally holds 24% of the shares, Huo Yingdong''s Huo Group holds 16%, and Jiuding Industrial Group holds 15%." Hearing the latter sentence, especially the word "Jiuding" appeared, Norman Shi Yahuai''s eyes condensed, and his heart became suspicious. PS: The second one is a bit late, sorry. Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. 4Fiction Net mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 982: $291 million to get it "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" In the office of the chairman of Jiuding Building, Xia Yu, who was reviewing the documents, heard a knock on the door and said without raising his head. Then the door opened, Huo Jianning walked in, Xia Yu raised an eyebrow, put down the pen, and asked, "Jianning, what''s the matter?" "Chairman, the share purchase of Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. in the island country has almost reached the top. A total of 33.5% of the shares have been acquired, just over one-third of the line. The specific process is on the top, please have a look! " Huo Jianning briefly reported, and then respectfully put the acquisition report in front of Xia Yu. "Sit down first and make your own tea if you are thirsty!" "Ok!" Xia Yu changed a relaxed posture, leaned back on the soft and comfortable leather boss chair, and opened the acquisition report. The acquisition report made by Huo Jianning is very detailed, with progress every day. For example, on March 24, it acquired 0.24% of the shares from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and 0.15% of the shares from the Osaka Stock Exchange. The total acquisition of 0.39% on the same day Of equity. ... On April 21, it acquired a 0.25% stake from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and a 0.117% stake from the Tokyo Stock Exchange... On April 30th, 0.33% of the equity was acquired from the New York Stock Exchange... Especially as the end of May is approaching, the number of shares acquired in exchanges in various places has been quite small. The target of the acquisition is mainly for the top 20 shareholders, and they are the shareholders who are purely financial investment. At that point, it is actually very difficult to hide, even if the equity acquired before is scattered across the accounts of different leather bag companies. After all, the Island Pioneer Company is listed on four exchanges, and there are not many stocks that are shared by each exchange. If there are few public stocks, the reaction caused by a little disturbance will be relatively greater. Therefore, the report stated that the market value of Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. has risen to 205.8 billion yen, which is a 14% increase from two months ago. The acquired 33.5% of the equity cost a total of 291 million U.S. dollars. Except for the 100 million U.S. dollars provided by Xia Yu, the remaining funds are all self-funded by the four wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tiangong Group, mainly relying on self-operating funds, and a small part of it depends on loans. The specific amount is based on The subsequent equity allocation is determined, and a subsidiary will not suffer a loss. The report also stated that, in order to maximize the effects and benefits, the plan is to distribute the equity according to the following scheme: The Tiangong Electronics Company, which has the most direct effect, holds 13.4% of the shares, and Tiangong Automobile, which can use car audio The group holds 10% of the shares, the remaining equity is when Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company holds 5.1%, and Tiangong Machinery Group holds 5%. ... "I have finished reading the report, and I did a great job!" "Since the acquired stocks have passed one-third of the total amount, it is possible to achieve the goal of strategic shareholding. No amount of it will be wasted. After all, the stocks of this company are not cheap, and the province still has to save." "Your equity distribution plan is also very thoughtful. Just follow this." "The next thing you have to do is to transfer the equity from the account of the leather bag company to the four companies, and then enter the board of directors of Pioneer Electronics." "Island countries are different from Xiangjiang. We must be cautious when choosing various agents and directors. The ultimate goal is to maximize the influence of Pioneer Electronics in the island country. You can take it yourself!" Xia Yu showed admiration and was in a good mood, he said more. Huo Jianning nodded solemnly and replied: "Okay, I will definitely think more and act carefully according to your guidance." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and said with a faint smile: "From now on, remove the word''agent'' from your head, and you are the chairman of Tiangong Group." This time, Huo Jianning''s actions in the capital market, Xia Yu is generally satisfied, and Xia Yu is also assured to give Huo Jianning a burden to accelerate his growth, so the promise he made at the beginning should be fulfilled. Huo Jianning was pleasantly surprised, and immediately got up and bowed to Xia Yu. "Thank you, Chairman, I will continue to work hard and make more contributions to the company, and I will never disappoint you!" With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said encouragingly: "Keep working hard, I will see your performance in the future." "If it''s okay, go ahead." "Okay, then I won''t disturb you!" After speaking, Huo Jianning stepped back cautiously, and left vigorously after going out. Looking at the acquisition report left on the desktop, Xia Yu smiled, then picked it up and put it in the shredder to shred it. With the equity of Pioneer Electronics in the island country, Tiangong Group will have an important puzzle. Tiangong Electronics can use many key technologies and develop and produce related products; Tiangong Automobile Group will have greater advantages in car audio; Gongji Group can enter the industrial audio field; Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company can develop and produce home audio products.

I have convened people to study, but it is still unclear what Bao Yugang''s purpose is." Wade Shi Yahuai finished speaking and looked at Norman Shi Yahuai quietly. Norman Shiyahuai thought for a long time and asked his nephew Wade: "Wade, I remember how many Chinese shareholders in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, right? What is our shareholding ratio?" Wade Shiyahuai immediately replied: "Uncle, Swire Airlines owns 41% of the shares in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services Company, plus Cathay Pacific''s 4%. We hold a total of 4%. Forty-five equity." "In addition, Cao Guangbiao personally holds 24% of the shares, Huo Yingdong''s Huo Group holds 16%, and Jiuding Industrial Group holds 15%." Hearing the latter sentence, especially the word "Jiuding" appeared, Norman Shi Yahuai''s eyes condensed, and his heart became suspicious. ps: The second one is a bit late, sorry. v3 Chapter 983: Drama staged "Jiuding Industrial Group?" Norman Shiya frowned and chanted the name, vaguely remembering that he had seen Jiuding Industrial Group as a shareholder of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company. However, it took a long time, and he was mainly responsible for the affairs of the parent company and the first-level subsidiary, and he paid less attention to the third-level subsidiary of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, so his memory was vague. He asked his nephew Wade: "When did Jiuding Industrial Group enter this company?" Wade Shiyahuai immediately explained: "Uncle, this happened a long time ago. The 15% equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group originally belonged to Hutchison Whampoa. Hutchison Whampoa was later acquired by the Jiuding Consortium. " Norman Shi Yahuai was in a daze. He thought for a while and then asked: "Based on daily observations, does Jiuding Industrial Group have any actions or tendencies?" Wade Shiyahuai contemplated for a long time, shook his head and said: "No, although Jiuding Industrial Group holds a lot of shares, it does not have a strong sense of existence. Apart from dispatching directors and financial supervisors, it almost ignores the operation of the company, even if it is a board of directors. , As long as the proposal is for company development, they will agree." Hearing what his nephew said, Norman Shiya''s brows were still not stretched, but the suspicion in his heart became stronger. "If Bao Yugang only needs equity to strengthen strategic cooperation, he doesn''t necessarily have to buy it from us. With the relationship between Chinese people, it will definitely be easier to acquire. Why should you look for us?" After thinking for a long time, Norman Shi Yahuai found a suspicious point. Wade Shi Yahuai was stunned, and his complexion instantly became solemn. He immediately said: "Uncle, I came in too hurriedly. I only analyzed Bao Yugang''s purpose and did not have time to confirm the equity of the other three shareholders." Norman Shi Yahuai said: "Tomorrow you will contact the three shareholders separately, and you must confirm their equity." "There is a serious grouping among the Chinese. It is difficult to guarantee whether they have colluded. You must be 100% sure." "Try to confirm within two days, if you need assistance, just mention it to me." Wade Shiyahuai nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best to investigate." ... In the next two days, Wade Shi Yahuai first contacted Cao Guangbiao, who holds the most shares. According to Gals Liddell¡¯s instructions, Cao Guangbiao stated that he had taken a big step in expanding the factory, which caused a tight capital and could not repay the loan from Standard Chartered Bank. In order to concentrate on developing his own Yongxin enterprise, he took the original mortgage from Xiangjiang. The equity of the airport ground handling company was discounted to Standard Chartered Bank. Wade Shiyahuai also visited Gals Liddell, the president of Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank, to confirm the matter, and learned from Gals Liddell that Standard Chartered Bank is optimistic about the aviation market and has met to discuss the decision to hold long-term equity until the listing. . Wade Shiyahuai believed 90% of Gals Liddell''s words and invited him to look for candidates to join the company''s board of directors. Then he found the Huo Group to confirm the shareholding information and learned that the equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company held by the Huo Group had been pledged by the bank, and he also saw the pledge loan contract. Finally, Wade Shi Yahuai approached Jiuding Industrial Group. Unexpectedly, Jiuding Industrial Group directly admitted that the equity had been transferred to Bao Yugang. It was so frank and frank that Wade Shi Yahuai was messed up on the spot. After seeing the equity transfer contract, he hurried back to the family and reported to his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai. This matter. That night, in the living room of Shi Yahuai''s family villa. After listening to Wade Shi Yahuai''s detailed report, Norman Shi Yahuai frowned slightly, and kept playing back the information in his mind, trying to find some connections. He always felt something was wrong, it seemed a coincidence. Cao Guangbiao''s equity was transferred to Standard Chartered Bank during this time. According to Gals Liddell, no candidate has been selected yet, so he has not connected with the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company. Norman Shi Yahuai had no doubts about Huo Yingdong¡¯s equity pledge, because according to his nephew Wade, he saw the pledge loan contract with his own eyes. The lender was Xiangjiang Bank of China. The contract was signed for three years and was signed on February 10 last year. Six days, it''s been more than a year so far. He never thought that the pledge loan contract would be fake. After all, the relationship between Huo Yingdong and the mainland is well known. HeungKong Bank of China is more likely than other banks to take the risk to accept the equity pledge of the unlisted HeungKong Airport Ground Service Company. "Standard Chartered Bank..." Norman Shiyahuai flashed everything about Standard Chartered Bank in his mind, and thought of his business dealings with Standard Chartered Bank and his friendly personal relationship with Gals Liddell. After a long time, Norman Shiyahuai found out the phone book, picked up the phone, and dialed the number at Gals Liddell''s house. On the phone, Gals Liddell behaved as usual, as enthusiastic about Norman Shiyahuai, and sent him an invitation to the party. Regarding Norman Shiyahuai''s inquiry, Gals Liddell "tells the truth" and said he is optimistic about the aviation market. If Swire Group wants to vigorously expand in the aviation field, he will offer more preferential policies and support than HSBC. We hope that both parties will strengthen cooperation... After talking, the topic ran away directly, involving the competition between Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, as well as the wooing of Swire Group and Norman Shiyahuai. The enthusiasm and attitude of Gals Liddell dispelled Norman Shiyahuai''s doubts about Standard Chartered Bank. "It seems that I think too much. With such a deep cooperation between Swire and Standard Chartered, it is impossible for Gals Liddell to cheat me..." Concluding Remarks After Gals Liddell''s call, Norman Shi Yahuai''s only doubt was Bao Yugang''s acquisition of the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group. He thought for a while and told Wade Shi Yahuai: "Wade, you can call Bao Yugang and ask him directly if he has anything to do with it." Wade Shiyahuai responded, then turned to the number from the phone book and dialed directly. Ten seconds later, the call was connected and Bao Yugang''s deep voice came from the microphone. "This is the Bao family, who is it?" Wade Shi Yahuai said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, good evening, I am Wade Shi Yahuai, I am sorry to disturb you so late!" Bao Yugang¡¯s enthusiastic voice came from the receiver immediately: ¡°It turned out to be Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai. I don¡¯t bother at all. I¡¯m glad to receive your call.¡± "Do you have anything? Have you already made a decision?" Wade Shiyahuai replied: "Let''s not talk about that first, I have one thing I want to confirm to you." "Did you acquire the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company held by Jiuding Industrial Group?" After asking, Wade Shi Yahuai held his breath and looked up at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, and found that he was squinting and leaning slightly forward close to the phone. There was silence on the other end of the phone for three seconds. . Just when Wade Shi Yahuai thought that Bao Yugang would be able to quibble, Bao Yugang''s calm words came from the receiver: "So you already know, yes, I acquired the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group." Wade Shiyahuai and Norman Shiyahuai''s nephew looked at each other and fell silent... v3 Chapter 984: Dongfeng Airlines exposed Chapter 984 Dongfeng Airlines is exposed After hearing the phone call for a long time, Bao Yugang¡¯s relaxed and casual voice came from Wade Shi Yahuai¡¯s microphone again: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, you don¡¯t have to think too much about it. I just made a normal acquisition. Fifteen percent of the equity is indeed too small, which is not conducive to a stable cooperation between the two parties." "Mr. Shi Yahuai, tomorrow is the agreed date anyway, and it is not convenient to elaborate on the phone. If you have anything you want to talk about, we will talk in person tomorrow, how about?" Wade Shiyahuai looked at his uncle, after getting the latter''s approval. He remained calm and spoke to the microphone: "Yes, then let''s talk in person tomorrow, the time is still nine o''clock in the morning." "..." "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Wade Shiyahuai asked Norman Shiyahuai: "Uncle, he actually admitted, do you think what he said is true?" "How should I talk to him tomorrow? What do I need to talk about?" Norman Shiya frowned and couldn''t grasp Bao Yugang''s true purpose. The fact that there is no concealment on this matter, so magnanimous, is also in line with Bao Yugang''s style of life and the public opinion spread outside. But at the beginning, Jiuding Industrial Group was involved, which made him suspicious. Now that Jiuding Industrial Group is taken out, he still can''t erase the doubts in his heart. It is hard to say whether preconceived ideas influenced him. Norman Shiyahuai stroked the jade finger on his right thumb, thinking for a long time. He said to Wade Shi Yahuai who was waiting quietly: "Wade, since Bao Yugang''s purpose is to deepen the cooperation between his Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company and our Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, he wants to test out his The real purpose is to grasp this." "He wants to use the acquisition of equity to deepen cooperation, so you will tell him tomorrow that we welcome to deepen cooperation, but the cooperation is mutual. We will not only sell the shares of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, but exchange it for his Hong Kong air cargo. Stand the company¡¯s equity and see how he reacts." "It just so happens that we couldn''t find a chance to buy a stake in his Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company!" Wade Shiyahuai nodded in agreement, feeling a little excited, and said, "Good uncle, I will do this tomorrow." After speaking, Wade Shiyahuai remembered a little more and asked: "Uncle, what if Bao Yugang agrees to exchange shares with us?" Norman Shi Yahuai narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "It depends on how much equity he is willing to take out!" "Anyway, you have to talk about a cooperation a few times at least, so you can hold it back and tell me the situation." "Okay!" Wade Shiyahuai responded immediately. ... At nine o''clock in the morning the next day, the conference room at Taikoo Airlines headquarters. Wade Shi Yahuai and Bao Yugang meet again. After a brief greeting, Bao Yugang said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, I wonder how you are thinking about it?" Wade Shi Yahuai looked calm, looked directly at Bao Yugang, and said calmly: "Mr. Bao, you have to answer my doubts before talking about that." Bao Yugang smiled and nodded, and made a please gesture: "Excuse me!" Wade Shiyahuai asked: "As far as I know, 24% of Cao Guangbiao''s equity has been transferred to Standard Chartered Bank. If you need to strategically acquire shares in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank is undoubtedly It¡¯s easier to acquire. There is no need to acquire the equity held by Swire Airlines, right?" Bao Yugang smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, do you think I have not asked? Of course I know that acquiring the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank is the best choice. I have also contacted President Liddell, but no matter what No matter how I talk, he has no idea to sell, and I can''t help it." Speaking of the last, Bao Yugang spread his hands, showing helplessness. Suddenly, Bao Yugang''s eyes brightened again, and he looked at Wade Shi Yahuai and said: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, if you can help me acquire all the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank, then my plan will exceed expectations, and I will no longer need to Acquiring your equity, and I will pay for your help, what do you think?" When Bao Yu just said this, his face was calm, causing Wade Shi Yahuai to subconsciously lower his vigilance. It''s just that he is in trouble. After all, if Bao Yugang acquired the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank, he would be satisfied, then he would not be able to penetrate into Bao Yugang''s Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company beyond some commissions. In the aviation sector, the only shortcoming of Swire Airlines should be that it does not have a stake in the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company. Swire Airlines was once a shareholder of Heung Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company, but at that time the company was still under the Jardine Consortium, and Swire Airlines only held 12% of the shares. But when the Jardine consortium was dismembered later, Bao Yugang acquired more than two-thirds of the equity of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, and then chose to compulsively privatize. In the end, Swire Airlines was forcibly liquidated and retired. Entered again. In his mind, the Hong Kong Airport Ground Handling Service Company is certainly important, but the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company has a more critical role in the aviation field. After all, Hong Kong has only one Kai Tak International Airport, and the franchise is only in Hong Kong Air Cargo. Stand in the hands of the company. After thinking for a while, he said vaguely: "This thing can be tried, if President Liddell is willing, it would be great." "Of course, to save time, we still make things clear all at once." Bao Yugang smiled and nodded: "Of course." "Mr. Shi Yahuai, if you have no doubts, then we are now talking about equity acquisitions?" Wade Shi Yahuai slightly nodded and said: "It is possible to talk, but I have a win-win idea. Is Mr. Bao interested in listening?" "Please speak!" Bao Yugang said with a smile, looking at Wade Shi Yahuai. "We also hope to strengthen cooperation with Mr. Bao. Compared with the future benefits that cooperation can generate, money is of secondary importance." "In order to avoid some financial pressure on Mr. Bao, I hope to adopt the method of equity swap. Mr. Bao will use your shares of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company to replace the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company held by our company. What do you think how is it?" After speaking, Wade Shi Yahuai looked at Bao Yugang with scorching eyes, not letting go of any changes in his face. Bao Yugang''s complexion was stagnant, with a somewhat unexpected and tangled expression. Human psychological changes are so strange. Always think that what you can''t get is the best. If Bao Yugang agreed easily, Wade Shiyahuai would have been suspicious instead. But Bao Yugang hesitated at this time, and Wade Shi Yahuai''s mentality changed instead. He wanted the shares of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company more! He leaned forward slightly, and said with a skeptical tone, with a skeptical tone, with a smile, "Mr. Bao, what? Didn''t you say that you want to deepen the cooperative relationship between the two companies? Mutual shareholding is the best way. Are you willing to have shares in Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company?" "Or... the cooperation you mentioned is just an excuse. There are other purposes for acquiring equity?" Looking at Wade Shi Yahuai''s skeptical and exploring expression, Bao Yugang immediately denied with a smile: "What other purpose can I have?" "Since Mr. Shi Yahuai is optimistic about my Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company, I certainly welcome Swire Airlines to join in, and I also agree with your proposal of pure equity swap." "I just considered one problem just now, so I thought about it a bit more." Wade Shi Yahuai asked with an inexplicable smile, "What''s the problem?" Bao Yugang looked directly at Wade Shi Yahuai and said with a faint smile: "The value of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company is 350 million Hong Kong dollars, and the purchase price of my Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company at the time was the company valued at 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Hong Kong dollars, although the latest valuation is lower, it is also 1.43 billion Hong Kong dollars." "How much of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company do you plan to exchange?" Wade Shi Yahuai''s smile stagnated and felt embarrassed. He knew that what Bao Yugang said was the truth, but the value gap between the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company was too great! The valuation is more than three times worse. Even if Swire Airlines takes out all the equity, it can only be exchanged for about 11% of the equity of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company. But can he take out all the equity? It is absolutely impossible! Even if half of it was used, it was only in exchange for more than 5% of the shares of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company. Such a little does not work at all! But the proposal of pure equity swap was put forward by him again. If he opposes it now, it would not be slapped himself in the face! Seeing Bao Yugang''s smile and gaze, Wade Shiya''s smile became more rigid, his brain turned frantically, trying to find a suitable step down. At this moment, a message flashed in his mind. He lifted his spirits and immediately said: "Mr. Bao, I remember that Xiangjiang Air Cargo Company was a listed company when it was under the Jardine Group, and its market value was only about 500 million, right?" How can Bao Yugang not know what Wade Shiyahuai wants to do. He directly blocked his way: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, everyone knows that the market value at that time was seriously underestimated. Otherwise, I would not have spent more than one billion Hong Kong dollars on the acquisition of it. I was a real deal. Cash." "Furthermore, with the authority and professionalism of "Economic Weekly", it also valued the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company. At the current valuation of HK$1.43 billion, I am still losing money!" "If you want to lower my price, then it won''t make sense!" Wade Shiyahuai could only hold back what he had originally wanted to say, and said haha, "I didn''t mean that, but although "Economic Weekly" is more authoritative, it is definitely impossible to be 100% correct. After all, "Economic Weekly" The assets of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company have not been completely liquidated, do you think so?" Bao Yugang was not fooled, and said with a faint smile: "I can''t say anything about this, hehe..." I couldn''t talk about this topic anymore. Wade Shiyahuai hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Bao, let''s not talk about these things that cannot be defined for the time being. I want to know, how many more shares do you plan to acquire?" Bao Yugang said with a smile: "I already hold 15% now, so let''s buy another 15%. Only when the board of directors has weight can we ensure the cooperation interests of the two companies, right?" Wade Shiya frowned, shook his head and said, "Mr. Bao, you have too much. If you sell it to you 15%, then our holding ratio of Swire Airlines will drop to 26%. !" "This nature has changed!" Bao Yugang smiled faintly and shook his head and said: "It hasn''t changed. Your Cathay Pacific still holds 4% of the shares. In addition, Swire Airlines still holds just 30%, as much as you and I." "The Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company has also become a bridge and platform between Swire Airlines and my air cargo terminal company. Isn''t this just right?" Wade Shiyahuai still shook his head decisively and disagreed. Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Since Mr. Shi Yahuai still feels too much, then I lower my head and Swire Airlines transfers 14% to me. I hold 29% of the shares in total, and you 31%. , The major shareholder is still yours, and the company is still managed by you, so there is always no objection?" Bao Yugang took the initiative to step back, still making Wade Shiyahuai uncomfortable. In other words, until now, he has lost face or encountered embarrassment several times, his thoughts have been confused, his mood is a little irritable, and he doesn''t know how to proceed. He immediately said: "Mr. Bao, I think there are still big differences in our cooperation plan, such as cooperation methods, value evaluation, and the number of equity." "But I''m sorry, I probably didn''t rest well last night, and now my head is a little dizzy, not suitable for talking about such an important matter." "So I think we will stop for now, and then we will rethink clearly based on what we are talking about today and come up with a few more plans. What do you think?" Wade Shi Yahuai said this to such an extent, Bao Yugang smiled, showing regret, he could only comprehendly said: "It''s okay, today''s negotiations are also considered fruitful, at least a lot more advanced than last time. ." "So when is the next meeting?" Wade Shiyahuai didn¡¯t say anything this time. Three days later, he said vaguely: ¡°This is uncertainAnyway, we all have each other''s phone calls. What do you think of it?¡± Bao Yugang nodded and said, "It''s okay, so let''s do this for today, I won''t bother much." After that, Bao Yugang stood up and stretched out his hand to Wade Shi Yahuai. The latter immediately got up and shook hands with Bao Yugang, smiled and said, "I look forward to seeing you next time!" "I see you off!" ... After sending Bao Yugang away, Wade Shi Yahuai returned to his office, rubbed his temples with his hands, and recalled the content of the meeting with Bao Yugang just now. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Boom boom boom..." Wade Shiya, who was a little irritable, frowned and said in a dissatisfied voice: "Come in!" Soon, the door opened and a subordinate walked in. Seeing that it was Lavis, the head of the company''s logistics department, with a look of anxiety, he frowned and asked, "What''s wrong? His face is so ugly." "President, something has happened. I just learned the news that another airline has been added to Hong Kong! We have a rival for Taikoo Airlines!" Logistics Minister Lavis said with a solemn expression. "what?" Wade Shi Yahuai''s eyes screamed in surprise, and his face was full of disbelief. Just seeing Lavis, the logistics minister, looked dignified, not joking at all, Wade Shiyahuai sank with one heart, and the already bored mood became more and more mad. "what is the problem!" PS: I worked overtime until 11:50, and it was a little bit faster after taking a shower and eating. I kept writing until three o¡¯clock to update the second chapter, the head is about to explode... the end of the month, ask for a ticket! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 985: An awkward and feeble situation "According to work requirements, I received a senior executive from Island Air this morning. During the chat, the senior executive from Island Air disclosed a message casually, saying that their company has a six-year-old aircraft to be transferred. A company named Dongfeng Airlines is already negotiating an acquisition, and Dongfeng Airlines is an airline from Hong Kong." "I asked him, he was 100% sure that he was from the airline of Hong Kong. I asked him who the boss was, but he didn''t pay attention." "After I know the news, ask other colleagues to help me accompany him temporarily, I will report this to you quickly." Logistics Minister Lavis said quickly, succinctly and clearly. Wade Shiyahuai looked ugly. He didn''t get annoyed because Lavis had come to report without confirming the accuracy of the news, but took a deep breath to calm his mood. Lavis looked at Wade Shiyahuai with some expectation and anxiousness. But Wade Shiyahuai is now all thinking on the "Dongfeng Airlines" mentioned by Lavis. After thinking for a while, he immediately took out a phone book, turned to the office number of a friend of the Xiangjiang Company Registry, and dialed it directly. Please find a way to check whether Xiangjiang has registered a company named "Dongfeng Airlines." Company" company. After all, there are only so few companies involved in the aviation market, so it didn¡¯t take long for the Hong Kong Company Registration Office to find out that a company named ¡°Dongfeng Airlines¡± has indeed been registered recently. The legal person of the company is Bao Yugang, with three shareholders. They are Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and Huanyu Holdings, with a registered capital of HK$1 billion! Huanyu Holdings is an offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands. It is a wholly-owned holding company of Jiuding Industrial Group and is one of the shell companies. With this shell, because Universal Holdings is registered in the Cayman Islands, other people can''t find any other information except the name, so it can also reduce the existence of Jiuding Industrial Group. Therefore, Wade Shiyahuai does not know whose company Huanyu Holdings is. However, compared with the two pieces of information that the legal person of the company is Bao Yugang and the registered capital is 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, the background of Universal Holdings is secondary, and he directly ignored them temporarily. When he heard this news, Wade Shiyahuai''s mood became very complicated. He was shocked that Swire Airlines was in big trouble, but was also angry at Bao Yugang''s deception. After his anger, there was a kind of lingering fear and aftermath. idea. Fortunately, Lavis just received the senior executives of Island Airlines, and was lucky enough to talk about Dongfeng Airlines, and Lavis came to report to him in time so that he could investigate clearly in the first time. Thinking of this, Wade Shiyahuai praised Lavis: "Lavis, you did a good job this time, and you reported in a timely manner, which avoided huge losses for the company!" Although Wade Shiyahuai did not promise any rewards, Lavis was still very excited, and the smile on his face almost couldn''t hide it. He said in a humble manner: "President, it is what I should do to avoid losses for the company. The main thing is that you usually teach well." Wade Shiyahuai is more satisfied with Lavis'' humility. However, he was still very worried at this time, and temporarily did not want to communicate with Lavisdo. After a few words of encouragement, he sent him away, and then called his subordinates to have an emergency meeting. "The appearance of Dongfeng Airlines will cause Discussion and judgment on the topic of "influence". By noon, Wade Shiyahuai brought the results of the meeting and hurried to the family residence in a hurry. ... "Wade, what happened?" "Did the negotiation with Bao Yugang go wrong?" Norman Shiyahuai, who was looking at the newspaper in the living room waiting for lunch, saw his nephew Wade hurriedly walk in, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with concern. After Wade Shiyahuai sat down, he took a few deep breaths quickly to calm his mood, and started from the beginning. "...Uncle, that''s how it is." "When I came, I convened think tanks for a meeting, and I came to the conclusion that Bao Yugang''s acquisition of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company was not for the purpose of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Station Company, but for the Dongfeng Airlines that he had just registered!" In the last sentence, Wade Shiyahuai said with a certain tone. Obviously, this is not only the view analyzed by the think tank, but also what he believes. Not only him, even Norman Shi Yahuai, after listening to Wade Shi Yahuai, thought his analysis was correct. As long as the aviation industry practitioners are not stupid, they will know that airport ground handling companies can play their best role as long as they work with airlines. Bao Yugang This is "Mingxiu plank road, dark Chen Cang"! Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai''s silence, Wade Shi Yahuai hesitated for a moment, but said aloud: "Uncle, I don''t think we can transfer the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company to Bao Yugang. Our gains and risks are completely not equal." "The value of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Handling Service Company and the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company is very different. We can''t change much of the shares of the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company." "With a large amount of equity in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services Company, Bao Yugang can definitely influence the company''s operations. When Dongfeng Airlines officially operates, it will do the same as us in airport ground services. We have built the results for so many years. It was directly stolen by him and used to compete with our Cathay Pacific Airways!" Norman Shi Yahuai frowned and thought about it for a long time. He looked at Wade Shi Yahuai and asked a question: "Dongfeng Airlines has a registered capital of one billion Hong Kong dollars, and Bao Yugang and others are secretly established. It shows the determination and attitude of Bao Yugang and others. Do you think he will give up entering this market because he can''t acquire enough shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company?" Wade Shiya had a stiff face. After thinking about it, he showed unwillingness and shook his head and said: "No, if I am him and cannot acquire enough equity, then I will set up an airport ground handling company by myself. " Norman Shi Yahuai sighed slightly and added: "Yes, and he owns the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Company, and already has a strong foundation. Compared with other people, he has a huge advantage. Just his company. It is enough to support his ground handling company to build and temper." Wade Shiyahuai was silent. Norman Shiyahuai thought for a while and said again: "Wade, think about it carefully, does Dongfeng Airlines really have no room for development?" Wade Shiyahuai''s face became more ugly, but he had to admit the facts: "Uncle, Cathay Pacific only has 21 planes, and two of them are cargo planes. There are only 19 passenger planes, and the number is limited. It only opened up neighboring countries. Routes to major cities and capitals, as well as large cities in many countries, have not opened routes, and there is a big business gap." "Although Dongfeng Airlines has not obtained an air transport license for the time being, I am worried that with the power of the Chinese now, the Hong Kong government is likely to approve another one." "And the Hong Kong government''s policy of''one route can only be operated by one airline'' does not limit the target, we just own the franchise of the routes we have opened." "Under the premise that we do not have the strength to get involved in the business, if Bao Yugang''s Dongfeng Airlines opens up new routes, even if we do our best to prevent it, the Air Transport License Bureau has no reason to reject Dongfeng Airlines'' application." "Unless...we take all these routes ahead of time..." In the end, Wade Shi Yahuai''s voice became a little bit quieter, obviously he didn''t feel emboldened when he said this. Eat as much food as you have a big belly. He also knows that Cathay Pacific currently has only 19 passenger planes, and there are dozens of them in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and East Asia. Cathay Pacific has to fly further to London, England, San Francisco, Australia and other places. So in fact, Cathay Pacific has not yet opened flights with many Asian countries. There is only one solution, and that is to purchase a large number of aircraft and open up new routes. But now a Boeing 747 costs 35 million U.S. dollars, or more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if you don¡¯t buy a Boeing 747 and buy a smaller and worse aircraft, it will cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars apiece. With Cathay Pacific¡¯s current strength, it is simply unrealistic. Even with the support of the Taikoo Consortium, you can buy a maximum of five to burn the fragrance. However, with more than five planes, five more routes will be opened, which still cannot fill all the route gaps. In order to speed up efficiency, Dongfeng Airlines is already directly purchasing old aircraft Cathay Pacific is too late even if it wants to act. After all, although there are many old airplanes in the world, it takes a short time to rebuild, and the risk is also high, which is very uneconomical. It is too slow to build new aircraft. Like the previous seven or eight years when the aviation market was booming, Boeing¡¯s manufacturing orders were sold for six or seven years. Even if it is not busy now, it takes months to build an aircraft. If Dongfeng Airlines has already placed an order, Cathay Pacific will have to queue up behind Dongfeng Airlines if it places an order. Maybe Dongfeng Airlines will have a firm foothold after all the aircraft are built. The other supporting industrial chains in the aviation market cannot stop Dongfeng Airlines. Like aircraft inspection and engine maintenance, although Xiangjiang only has one Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, there are many companies in the island country. Dongfeng Airlines can take turns to fly to the island country for maintenance. Needless to say, the air **** business is Xia Yu''s security guard for Xiangjiang''s famous Aegis, and Bao Yugang can find it. The airline catering service is also easy to solve by finding a five-star hotel cooperation. ... all in all. For Wade Shiyahuai and Norman Shiyahuai, now is undoubtedly an extremely embarrassing and difficult situation. Knowing that Dongfeng Airlines has a threat, but there is no way to stop it, I can only watch Dongfeng Airlines compete for the market... It''s uncomfortable! PS: I returned safely last night, without injury or sacrifice, and survived another catastrophe. After I came back, I added a class to take a shower and a little bit more. I didn¡¯t want to write when I was physically and mentally exhausted. I insisted on writing until 3:14 and finished writing a chapter. I had to get up to work after 7 in the morning and still sleep four. Hours, go to sleep~ Ask for a ticket https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 986: Get HSBC Bank For a long time, Wade Shiyahuai gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle, since it is inevitable for Dongfeng Airlines to enter the market to compete with us, and it is useless for us to prevent it, it is better to find a way to become a shareholder." "In this way we can always know the latest situation of Dongfeng Airlines." Norman Shi Yahuai slightly nodded in agreement, which was his idea. He already had an idea in his mind just now. In his view, Dongfeng Airlines has already appeared, and the Swire consortium''s attempt to influence the Hong Kong government not to issue shipping licenses to Dongfeng Airlines has a low success rate. Directly colliding with Dongfeng Airlines is a last resort option. After all, it can be seen from the registered capital and shareholders that Dongfeng Airlines is very strong. Strong strength means a strong ability to withstand pressure. Cathay Pacific¡¯s struggle with Dongfeng Airlines is likely to put Cathay Pacific into a quagmire of competition and put tremendous pressure on the entire consortium. Since the hazard of a fierce collision is so great, it is better to infiltrate Dongfeng Airlines. Then think of ways to make Cathay Pacific Airline targeted suppression, such as occupying popular routes and forcing Dongfeng Airlines to fly only on less popular routes in the market. By then, Dongfeng Airlines will definitely suffer serious losses. As long as Dongfeng Airlines loses money year after year, even if Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are rich, they will definitely not be able to handle it. At that time, let Cathay Pacific or Swire Airlines come forward and find a way to acquire Dongfeng Airlines. Although this method takes a long time, it is more operability and the success rate seems to be relatively high. In previous lives, the Swire consortium used this insidious method when confronted by Bao Yugang and others who formed the then aggressive Dragonair. Dragon Airlines hasn''t made a profit for a year. In the end, the shareholders couldn''t help but lose their confidence to withdraw. Bao Yugang couldn''t hold it anymore, and finally left the market sadly. Of course, the failure of Dragonair in the past was so miserable, it also has something to do with its late admission. The admission was already in 1985. At that time, Hong Kong¡¯s economy was already booming, driving the development of the aviation industry, and Cathay Pacific became stronger. a lot of. In this life, Cathay Pacific is not particularly strong at this time, and it has just embarked on the road of international development, with only a few direct flights outside of Asia. In this life, Dongfeng Airlines not only has the more powerful Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, but also the BUG-level Xia Yu, so the development of the Swire Consortium in the aviation field is destined... It''s a pity that Norman Shiyahuai is not a rebirth, he doesn''t know these things. "Wade, what do you think of this method..." Norman Shi Yahuai slowly expressed his thoughts. After listening, Wade Shiyahuai¡¯s eyes were bright, and he nodded and said: "Uncle, your method is great. As long as we delay the development of Dongfeng Airlines, we will speed up Cathay Pacific¡¯s route network construction. Dongfeng Airlines can only fly. If you fly on less popular routes, you will lose once. Even if Bao Yugang and others have money, they will not be able to support it. Then our opportunity will come." Norman Shi Yahuai said calmly: "Wade, all of this is just our idea. Whether it can be implemented depends on Bao Yugang''s attitude." "Moreover, even if Bao Yugang and others are willing to take out the equity of Dongfeng Airlines, they will definitely put forward harsh conditions. The equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company will definitely be required, but the value of this company is too low. If we want to It is far from enough to exchange shares in Dongfeng Airlines." "It would be best if he is willing to accept cash for shares, but this possibility is extremely low, and we should not have too high expectations." "You go talk first, and when it''s suitable, I will personally negotiate with Bao Yugang!" Wade Shi Yahuai solemnly replied: "Okay!" At this time, the nanny brought the last dish and walked over and whispered Norman Shi Yahuai to eat. Norman Shiyahuai had to stop the discussion for a while, smiled and said to his nephew: "Wade, you haven''t eaten lunch yet, let''s come together, and talk afterwards." "Good uncle." One afternoon, Norman Shiyahuai and Uncle Wade Shiyahuai both discussed in the living room, and halfway through they called for a powerful brainstorm. Considering that very little information is known about Dongfeng Airlines, and only finished the meeting with Bao Yugang this morning. So this time, Norman Shi Yahuai was no longer so anxious and planned to be completely ready to do it again. ... When Shi Yahuai''s family was planning a plan, Xia Yu was not idle. The first is London, England. With the continuous purchase of HSBC Holdings shares from the London Stock Exchange for more than a year, Bright Fund has already held 6.3% of the shares and entered the board of directors of HSBC Holdings in the UK. As for George Berkeley''s long-sleeved dancers, Bright Fund has a great influence. He has continuously deepened the cooperation with HSBC Holdings, which makes him very popular in HSBC Holdings. After receiving Xia Yu''s assignment this time, for the sake of safety, George Berkeley started from the identity of HSBC Holdings being the parent company of Hong Kong HSBC Bank. Even if Shen Bi has a good relationship with Norman Shiyahuai, it is HSBC Holdings that pays him his salary and social status. He can make suggestions when facing the orders of the parent company, but if the parent company does not adopt it, he still has to implement it. And it must be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the parent company, such as the requirement of confidentiality. According to a report by George Berkeley. His proposal to transfer the 20% equity interest in Cathay Pacific Airways held by Hong Kong HSBC and the 8.4% equity interest in Heungkong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. to the parent company has been passed by HSBC Holdings. Board meeting. For the sake of safety, he has arranged for the staff of HSBC Holdings to come to Xiangjiang to find Shen Bi directly and enforce the order without having to go to the board of directors of HSBC. The reason for this is to let Shen Bi only know the news and avoid others from leaking the news. Xia Yu estimated that it would take a few days to reap the results. There is no problem with HSBC, so the only thing that is not clear is the Xiangjiang Song family. As for the Song family, Xia Yu was the lowest in this whole process. After all, the relationship between the Song family and the Taikoo consortium is too deep. The Song family holds 13.5% of the shares in the HeungKong Taikoo Group, 6.7% in the Swire Group, 16% in Cathay Pacific, and some shares in other companies. It can be said that the connection is very close. It is the old partner of the Shi Yahuai family Xia Yu specially ordered people to collect the information of the Song family, and he is very clear about the strength of the Song family, which is very low-key in Xiangjiang. Powerful but extremely low-key, this has a great relationship with the Song family''s inheritance of the scholarly heirloom and the discipline of the scholarly. The aristocratic families who can continue to pass on are basically like this. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Song family was a huge wealthy in Shanghai, originally a landlord, and then worked as a foreign comprador, then started a factory, operating a pharmaceutical factory, a textile factory, etc., the Song family¡¯s property in Shanghai is a street-based unit To describe it as Dong is definitely a depreciation of the Song family. Many celebrities such as Cai Yuanpei and Fu Lei are tenants of the Song family. In the survey data, Xia Yu also found some interesting relationships. For example, Song Chunfang of the Song family was the earliest scholar who researched and introduced Western drama and theories in the three years of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty in modern drama, and was the cousin of the master of literature from the Republic of China, Wang Guowei. Song Qi, one of Song Chunfang''s sons, is close friends with Qian Zhongshu, Zhang Ailing and others. The chat passed by. At this time, the head of the Xiangjiang Song family was not Song Qi, but his cousin Song Bo, the son of Song Chunwang''s eldest brother Song Chunwang. Different from Song Chunfang''s line, Song Chunwang''s line came to Xiangjiang to take root during the Anti-Japanese War. Other ethnic groups in the country came to Xiangjiang in batches before the founding of the People''s Republic of China and in the 1960s and 1970s. After Song Chunwang and his descendants'' hard work, coupled with the original rich family background, the strength of the Song family has continued to grow. Although there is no explosive growth, it is more difficult to seek progress while maintaining stability. "The ability to pass on to this day has a lot to do with Song Chunwang''s adeptness in judging time and situation, but I don''t know if his son has inherited his wisdom..." When the car drove to Gadoli Mountain and was about to reach the Song family mansion, Xia Yu thought quietly. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 987: The tiger father has no dogs? It should be the doorman who called Song Bo when he opened the door, so when Xia Yu parked and got off the car under the leadership of the Song family, he saw an old man walking towards him with a middle-aged man. Xia Yu met Song Bo several times on some occasions, so he immediately recognized him, and the middle-aged man next to him, he also looked at the photos in the profile, and knew it was Song Zhicheng, Song Bo''s second son. Song Bo has a three-bedroom wife, two children and one daughter with Longfang, one and two daughters with Erfang, and two daughters with Sanfang, with a total of eight children. The three sons are the eldest son Song Zhihui, the second son Song Zhicheng, and the third son Song Zhiming. It''s just that the eldest son, Song Zhihui, has over-studied and devoted himself to scientific research and academics. He is not interested in business at all. Although Song Bo is helpless, he is not particularly disappointed. After all, his desire for knowledge is not wrong, so he develops with his elder son. The third son, Song Zhiming, is of mediocre ability, and because he has studied abroad, he has been contaminated with many bad habits abroad. After returning to Xiangjiang, he still can''t change it. Therefore, there are many anecdotes in Xiangjiang, and Song Bo''s favorite is the least. Compared with these two sons, Song Zhi, the second son in front of him, is outstanding, at least he is interested in doing business. It''s just the news of Xia Yu that Song Zhicheng is only a middle-upper in the same generation, more than conservative, less aggressive. As for whether the comments he heard are true or false, Xia Yu has not been in direct contact before, so it is not easy to comment. But now this time, I can observe it. "Father Song, I will bother you to greet you personally, sin!" With a smile on his face, Xia Yu walked towards Song Bo at a faster pace, said apologetically, and shook hands with Song Bo while speaking. Song Bo smiled genially, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and said cordially: "Mr. Xia''s words are very bad. Your arrival has made the humble house flourish. This is a great fortune for my Song family!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Master, you are holding it. I am not as good as you. I came this time with the thought of being blessed by the Song family." Song Bo felt at ease when he heard Xia Yu''s words. He laughed and said: "Haha, Mr. Xia, your own blessing is the best in Xiangjiang. It should be my blessing." After speaking, he introduced his son next to Song Bo: "Mr. Xia, this is Inuzi Zhicheng, not very successful, I hope you can give me some advice." "Mr. Xia, hello!" Song Zhicheng smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to Xia Yu. However, Xia Yu, who was very observant, still noticed that Song Zhicheng''s smile was awkward. He obviously didn''t agree with his father''s words, and was a little unconvinced. He was already thirty-eight years old, and he couldn''t even understand the meaning of his father''s words. Xia Yu shook his head secretly in his heart, but did not show it on the surface, and said enthusiastically and modestly: "Father Tiger has no dogs, you are too modest, old man." "I have heard of Brother Song''s name a long time ago, but unfortunately I never saw it. It is a great blessing in life to have the honor to meet today!" "Brother Song, there will be more opportunities to communicate in the future!" Song Zhicheng smiled more obviously this time, he said modestly: "Mr. Xia''s achievements are far above me, I should learn more from you." Song Bo suddenly patted his forehead lightly, and said with shame: "Look at me, people always have a bad memory. This joy, I forgot that the occasion is wrong, and it shouldn''t be right to let the distinguished guest stand at the door." "Mr. Xia, please come inside!" Xia Yu faintly smiled and made a please gesture and said: "You can do whatever you want, old man, please please!" "Mr. Xia, you are a distinguished guest, together, please!" ... Soon, Xia Yu took Li Wuming to the Song''s living room and sat down, and he looked at the layout of the Song''s house. The furnishings of the living room are neat and upright. The dark brown Bogu frame is symmetrically constructed. The desk cabinet is inlaid with brass, which faintly echoes the metal screen. The decorative paintings have flowers quiet and elegant, as if floating with dark fragrance, and naturally carved tea table. The tea fragrance is intertwined and interpreted. A huge plaque is hung on the central wall of the living room with the four words "Quiet and Far". This layout is worthy of the characteristics of Song family scholarly heirlooms. When he was making tea, Xia Yu said in admiration: "Master, your living room has a simple and elegant layout and a long charm. You have always spent a lot of effort! Living in this environment for a long time will naturally feel relaxed and happy, at least you can live more. Decades!" Song Bo happily said: "I spent a lot of effort on the layout, but I also have limited ability, that is, I rely on a few years of antiques to upgrade the grade. It is no better than Mr. Xia. If you want to arrange it, you can definitely be more elegant than mine. Several times." "You can build the Jiuding Cultural Museum in a big way. It doesn''t make sense that you will be worse at home, haha..." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and denied: "Different, different..." At this moment, the tea was brewed, and Song Bo made a gesture of please and said, "Mr. Xia, please use tea and **** Biluochun. This is a new tea produced this year, which was brought back from Suzhou. One of the top quality!" "Then I have to taste it." Xia Yu smiled, picked up the tea cup and sniffed deeply, and directly praised: "Scent!" Then he took a sip of the fine tasting, and said in full praise: "The fragrance is terrifying, the mouth is fresh and fresh, and it is sweet after drinking, good tea!" Song Bo''s eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Mr. Xia is really knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of Biluochun. Compared with you, my kid is much worse." Song Zhicheng, who was drinking tea silently, did not expect to be belittled by his father in front of Xia Yu, who was a few years older than his son. He was embarrassed and shouted, "Dad." Song Bo glared at him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why, do you still feel unconvinced? Just say this Biluochun, I have been drinking for so many years, you haven''t got a deep understanding of it, Mr. Xia pointed out the essence and allusions of Biluochun in one sentence. ." "Biluochun was originally named Dongting tea, also known as Dongting Biluochun because it was produced in the area of ??Dongting Mountain in Suzhou. However, it is also called Scaring Sharenxiang in the local people. According to legend, there was a nun who went up the mountain to travel in spring and picked a few pieces of tea. It was tangy, and blurted out, "The fragrance is so frightening," and the locals called this tea "The fragrance of the scare." In the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Emperor Kangxi tasted this green and curly soup during the inspection. The famous tea was much appreciated, but I felt that the name "Frightening Sharenxiang" was indecent, so I named it "Biluochun", which has only been passed down since then." "Mr. Xia said, "The fragrance is so frightening..." Seeing Song Bo''s performance and Song Zhicheng''s performance, Xia Yu secretly smiled in his heart, and had a more intuitive understanding of Song''s father and son. Song Bo is an old fox. From the beginning of the meeting to the present, he has been subtle and cautiously laying the groundwork, guarding against Xia Yu in secret, leaving himself a way to talk, and at the same time, he is constantly drawing closer to Xia Yu. it is good. I won''t talk about it before entering the house. For example, I will seize the opportunity to comment on this tea, combining the social art of "devaluing oneself and respecting others, showing one''s ugliness, and drawing relatives" to try to narrow the distance between the two parties again. It''s a pity that the protagonist is a good protagonist, but the supporting role is not good. Song Zhicheng didn''t understand his father''s deep intentions, instead he couldn''t let him go, wasting his father''s hard work. Judging from the wisdom and the city that Song Zhicheng has shown now, Yu Xiayu cannot be finalized for the time being, but he does not seem to be a pioneering and enterprising generation. Compared with him, the son-in-law Wu Guangzheng of Bao Yugang, the son of Huo Yingdong, and the sons of Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yu and others whom Xia Yu has met are quite outstanding. Seeing his son''s embarrassed expression, he seemed to be disappointed with his son Song Zhicheng''s performance. Song Bo simply ignored him and started chatting with Xia Yu. Xia Yu''s long sleeves are good at dancing, and there is a lot of flattery in his words. Song Bo, who is in a bad mood, laughs from time to time, and the atmosphere becomes warm again. Seeing Song Bo''s delay in asking his intentions, Xia Yu secretly cried out an old fox, and then found an opportunity. After Song Bo smiled, his face became straight and he immediately said: "Master Song I''m here to disturb you this time. I have something to discuss, and I would like to ask you to help me." Song Bo''s heart stunned, put down the teacup he had just picked up, looked at Xia Yu calmly, and asked: "If you dare not be a supporter, Mr. Xia might as well say what it is. If I can do it, I''m naturally willing to help." Having said that, he added another sentence in a joking tone: "If it is beyond my ability, I will do my best." Xia Yu couldn''t help being a little speechless when he spoke so cautiously in the scene. He just pretended not to hear the latter sentence, and said with a faint smile: "Master Song, things are not difficult. I heard that the Song family holds 16% of the shares in Cathay Pacific. I hope you can do me a favor. Selling to me, in terms of price, I will definitely not let you suffer!" Although Xia Yu used the word "heard and heard" euphemistically, he directly pointed out the number of shares held. In fact, he did not give the Song family a chance to deny it. But Song Bo is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. His expression was stagnant, his face was embarrassed, and he seemed to mutter to himself: "This... um... how can I put it?" Xia Yu leaned forward slightly, keeping a smile, and further said, "Master, this shouldn''t be an embarrassment. After all, as far as I know, the Song family is not interested in aviation, even if it holds 16% of Cathay Pacific. , It just dispatched a director and supervised the finances in a regular manner. It seems that I don¡¯t care about the company¡¯s operations." "In that case, it''s better to do me a favor and sell the equity to me. You always concentrate resources to develop other core businesses."

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 988: 2 ways, British or Chinese? Song Bo frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Xia, you have caused a big problem for me." "Your words are reasonable, but they are not applicable to any situation. It just happens that the situation of my Song family is quite special." Song Zhicheng also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Xia, you make us very embarrassed!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "What is embarrassing, we all know in business, everything has a value, as long as the price is right, it can be sold, no one can point to it, right?" Song Zhicheng glanced at his father and immediately retorted: "But Mr. Xia, if you know the cooperative relationship between our Song family and the Shi Yahuai family, you should know that there are some assets that we can''t sell if we want." "Our Song family has cooperated with the Shi Yahuai family for decades. In many Swire Group companies, our Song family has equity, and Cathay Pacific is one of them." "It''s just that compared with other assets, Cathay Pacific''s equity is very special. If we sell our equity to you, we will be betraying our old friends. This is unjust for us." "Furthermore, the Shi Yahuai family is far superior to our Song family. If our Song family sells Cathay Pacific''s equity to you, the Shi Yahuai family will lose Cathay Pacific Airways." "They have nothing to do with you, but they can retaliate against our Song family. By then, our losses in other areas will be hard to estimate, and may be higher than the value of Cathay Pacific''s equity." Just as Song Zhicheng said these words in a series, Song Bo showed an unhappy expression and yelled: "Zhicheng." Song Zhicheng just smiled and did not continue. Song Bo apologized and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, Zhicheng is straight-forward, but has no other meaning, just objectively state the facts." "Actually, you should have heard that there has been a saying that my Song family was supported by foreigners, and it can only rise step by step by relying on the Taikoo consortium." "Although I don''t like to hear these words, and they are not pertinent, but if I have not received the help of Shi Yahuai''s family, then it must be a lie." "As you know, whether our Song family is in the Xiangjiang Swire Group or Swire Co., Ltd., although it is a shareholder, the proportion of shares is not high. It can only be said to be average. It is not comparable to the Shi Yahuai family. If it is offended They, then the situation of my Song family is dangerous." Speaking of this, Song Bo saw that Xia Yu¡¯s face seemed a little bad, and he solemnly said: ¡°Mr. Xia, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t give you face. If it¡¯s equity that has nothing to do with the Taikoo consortium, as long as you say it, I agree without saying anything, and I am willing to sell at a loss." Ha ha! The words are so open and bright, but in fact they are all bullshit. Who knows what to say in the scene? Xia Yu sneered in his heart, but looked straight at Song Bo, and slowly said: "Master Song, I know your old difficulties. Of course I also know that you are humble. The strength of the Song family is obvious to all, and Shi Yahuai There are many enemies in the family. If I were Norman Shi Yahuai, I would never be so stupid that I would push the Song family to the opposite side!" Seeing Song Zhicheng opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Xia Yu directly raised the volume, ignoring Song Zhicheng, staring at Song Bo, and said firmly: "600 million, a one-time payment in pure cash, how do you always think of my sincerity! " Song Bo was taken aback, and his pupils shrank suddenly after a quick calculation in his heart, apparently surprised by Xia Yu''s offer. With Cathay Pacific¡¯s valuation of 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the 16% of the equity held by the Song family is worth 448 million Hong Kong dollars. And Xia Yu''s quotation is directly at a premium of more than 210 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a big deal! More importantly, Xia Yu directly promised to pay the cash in one lump sum, which shocked Song Bo even more and was shocked by Xia Yu''s strength. In the history of Hong Kong''s business community, it is not that there is no precedent for buying equity and the company in one lump sum, but without exception, they are transactions of less value. Generally, transactions of more than 100 million yuan are basically part of the down payment, and then the remaining money is paid in several times, and some even take two or three years; some are in the form of stocks + cash. After all, everyone knows that the equity of a company only seems to be valuable, but no one can guarantee that a company can make money continuously, and it is hard to guarantee that it will fall into an operational crisis tomorrow. Only the money in the pocket has real value! As for the entire Xiangjiang, there are only a handful of people who can put out 660 million cash at a time. Anyway, his Song family does not have this strength. For this price, Song Bo is tempted, not to mention Song Zhi''s achievement. It''s just that Song Bo has the right to decide this matter, so Song Zhicheng looks at his father. Song Bo was silent for a moment, and said with gratitude: "Mr. Xia, I can really feel your sincerity." After saying this, his face changed again, turning into a tangled color and said, "It''s just..." He just said two words, Xia Yu interrupted him without being polite and impolite, and said in a louder voice: "Master Song, don''t shirk so quickly. You might as well listen to me. What do you think? kind?" Song Bo nodded and made a please gesture: "Please speak!" Xia Yu picked up the teacup and drank a big sip from the room-temperature teacup to moisturize his throat, and slowly said, "Master Song, the times are different. Now it is no more than decades ago, no more than ten years ago. Chinese capital has risen. , British capital is already going downhill." "After all, Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of the Chinese. The British are just outsiders. When the strength is insufficient, the British can still dominate in various fields, but we Chinese are born to like to struggle. When we have no strength, we can say that when we have strength, No one likes the oppression and restraint of the British." "So you can also see the development and changes of British-owned large and small families and consortia in the past few years. Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Consortium, etc., have fallen one after another. There are only two British-owned consortia left. The pressure on the Swire Consortium and Wheelock is several times higher than before." "The strength of Chinese capital has increased several times. In fact, the strength of Chinese capital has surpassed that of British capital. The future of British capital is becoming more and more dangerous." "And you also know that British capital can have today''s strength, basically relying on the shelter of the Hong Kong government in the past, obtaining monopoly rights in various profiteering industries, and directly lying on the golden mountain to make money, not real swordsmanship. , Who do you think will be convinced?" "In the future, the Taikoo Consortium will become more and more overwhelmed. If the Song family is too deeply involved with the Taikoo Consortium, they are afraid that they will be implicated at that time!" "After all, Xiangjiang is the Chinese Xiangjiang, and it has been 16 years..." After speaking, Xia Yu didn''t say much, he added a little tea to himself, and at the same time he also added to them father and son. Then he picked up the tea cup and blew it gently. The white mist rising from the cup was blown away, and he slowly Taste the tea. The complexions of Song Bo and Song Zhicheng''s father and son kept changing. Obviously, Xia Yu''s words hit them deep inside, causing them to struggle fiercely. In particular, Xia Yu''s last two sentences had the greatest impact on the Song family and his sons, because the possibility was too high and the Song family was also at great risk. At this time, Xia Yu told him that there are only two roads left in front of you. The first is to follow the Taikoo Consortium to the dark, and the second is to accept his friendship. Then the Song family will be protected by him. Undoubtedly, judging from Xia Yu''s ability to kill the Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Consortium, the Jiuding Consortium is indeed stronger than the Swire Consortium. But the key is that the Song family''s assets and strength are in the Taikoo consortium, not in the Jiuding consortium. This is what made him hesitate. Song Bo took a deep breath and solemnly said to Xia Yu, "Mr. Xia, after all, this incident has too much influence. My Song family has been developing steadily so far. After all, the Song family is not my Song family alone, but my ancestors and ancestors. If the clansmen worked hard together, I also have to be responsible to them." "On this kind of critical matter, I have to convene the tribe to discuss together. The specific result will be known later. If there is a result, I will invite you to negotiate again. What do you think?" Xia Yu and Song Bo looked at each other calmly. After a while, they smiled and said lightly: "That''s the truth, then Grandpa Song might as well think about it first and ask other people''s opinions." "but¡­¡­" Hearing these two words, Song Bo frowned, and said calmly: "Mr. Xia might as well speak straight!" Xia Yu said in a joking tone: "I don''t think Mr. Song and Brother Song will put me in a dilemma?" Song Bo immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, this Mr. Xia can rest assured, I still have the most basic integrity, and Zhicheng is not a talkative." Xia Yu laughed and said, "Haha, Master Song Changliang, I still believe that After drinking tea, Xia Yu got up and said: "Master Song, I suddenly remembered There is something wrong, I''ll go back first, and I''ll chat next time! " "What are you talking about? Welcome Mr. Xia at any time!" "I see you off!" ... After the car that watched Xia Yu leave, Song Bo and his son returned to the living room. Their faces were very solemn, even a little ugly, and the atmosphere in the living room was a little dull. Song Zhicheng secretly sighed and said, "Dad, this Xia Yu should have followed the Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Consortium. He is eyeing the Swire Consortium. It may not take long for a fight to occur. I don''t know if the Swire Consortium will win. ..." Song Bo pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "It''s hard to tell, after all, Xia Yu and his Jiuding Consortium are hidden deeply, and no one knows his true power." "The Swire consortium is also different from the Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine consortiums. Norman Shi Yahuai had already guarded against this day. Otherwise, Xia Yu would not have us this morning. It is not because the Shi Yahuai family has very close control of the company. It is difficult for Yu to deal with the Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Consortium. He can only find a way to break the fortress of the Swire Consortium from within." ... Just when Song Bo and Song Zhicheng were discussing intently, Song Zhiming, the third son of Song Bo, who had not fully sobered up last night, came back from outside. After he greeted his father Song Bo and his second brother Song Zhicheng, Regardless of his father''s dark face, he walked directly upstairs. But while walking, Song Zhiming heard some conversations between his father and his second brother. As he went up the stairs, he slowed down a bit and heard more...

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 989: Phased results Xia Yu''s entire acquisition plan for Cathay Pacific was carried out in multiple lines. Needless to say, it is obvious or according to the equity held by his company. The shares held by Cao Guangbiao and Huo Yingdong have been acquired. The Shi Yahuai family is flicked by Bao Yugang, and it depends on when the Shi Yahuai family bites the hook. HSBC is followed up by Bright Fund. Jiuding Securities is responsible for the secret acquisition of the shares of the listed Heungjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. Xia Yu was personally responsible for the Song family. The first breakthrough result is undoubtedly the Bright Fund. With the order of HSBC Holdings, the parent company of Hong Kong HSBC Bank, Shen Bi had to obey unconditionally even if he was reluctant to do so. Hong Kong Central, HSBC Headquarters Building, small meeting room. Shen Bi personally received Thomas and Fedri from the parent company in London. After the chat, Shen Bi signed an equity transfer contract with Thomas and Federli. The transferor was Hong Kong HSBC and the transferee was HSBC Holdings. The transferred equity was prepared by Shen Bi as required. Cathay Pacific Airways has a 20% stake. And 8.4% equity of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. After the equity transfer, watching Thomas smile and put away the contract and equity certificate, Shen Bi pretended to ask casually: "Manager Thomas, Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company do not have much reputation in London. This time, which family in China is it? Want to get involved in the aviation market?" Thomas had been urged by George Berkeley before he came, and he had predicted that Shen Bi might ask questions, but how could he say it! He shrugged and shook his head and said: "President Michael, it should be someone who needs it, but unfortunately we don''t know about this matter. After all, I am not qualified to know the discussion process of the board of directors. I am only responsible for implementation. Please understand." Thomas called Shen Bi the President of Michael because Shen Bi¡¯s original name was Michael Sandberg, and Shen Bi was just because he was in Xiangjiang in order to integrate himself into Xiangjiang as soon as possible, and to better communicate with the Chinese in the company¡¯s business. That¡¯s it. Without getting information from Thomas, although Shen Bi regretted, he was psychologically prepared. Since he couldn''t get the result, he immediately skipped the topic and said with a smile: "Manager Thomas, it''s too early. I have already reserved lunch. Do you want to go over now?" Thomas looked at his watch, then looked at his colleague Federi again, and said with a smile: "If President Michael has nothing else to do, you can go now." "Where is there any emergency, you can''t do it hungry even if you have a job, right?" "Haha..." ... Early the next morning, Shen Bi personally sent Thomas and Feder onto the plane. Before getting into the car, Shen Bi looked up at the plane printed with "Cathay Pacific", and sighed inwardly. Thomas and Federi just arrived yesterday morning, and they came to him directly. After getting the equity, they will return to London today. The schedule is too tight. It can also be seen that the parent company attaches great importance to these two equity. "The Shi Yahuai family and the Taikoo Consortium are in big trouble. Although I don''t know who the hunter is, according to the current situation, I believe it will be exposed soon." "I just don¡¯t know if the Shi Yahuai family can resist it. This time, since the potential enemies of the Shi Yahuai family want to press me through the parent company, it can be seen that the energy will not be small. I guess it will be difficult for me to remain neutral in the future. The enemy of the Shi Yahuai family." "The Shi Yahuai family is in danger..." "If it does happen, I hope Norman Shiyahuai will not resent me. After all, I also have difficulties..." Thinking of the personal friendship with Norman Shi Yahuai, Shen Bi shook his head sadly. "Forget it, let people pay close attention to the entire capital market after I go back for a while. If you can find any useful information, tell Norman Shi Yahuai in private. As a friend, I can only do this... " ... When Thomas and Fedri returned to London, they immediately contacted George Berkeley. The price has long been negotiated, and Bright Fund uses a shell company to directly trade with HSBC Holdings. 8.4% of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company were transferred at a price of 7 million pounds, which is about 62 million Hong Kong dollars. Cathay Pacific Airways¡¯ 20% equity is traded at a price of 65 million pounds, which is equivalent to about 540 million Hong Kong dollars. After the equity was acquired, George Berkeley used the satellite phone to tell Xia Yu the good news at the right time. After receiving the news, Xia Yu was in a good mood. After encouraging George Berkeley, Xia Yu called Bao Yugang to inform him that he had settled the HSBC Bank and asked him to start negotiations with the Shi Yahuai family as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time and cause unnecessary trouble. Bao Yugang did not expect Xia Yu''s efficiency to be so high, and quietly and directly took over HSBC, which was closely related to the Swire Consortium. Two hard bones ate one off so quickly! Surprised, Bao Yugang also became more optimistic about Xia Yu''s plan. As long as Xia Yu takes over the Song family again, and he succeeds in bluffing the Shi Yahuai family, then within this month, Cathay Pacific is likely to change hands! Just as Bao Yugang was about to take the initiative to contact Wade Shiyahuai, he happened to receive an invitation from Wade Shiyahuai to meet at the headquarters of Swire Airlines. This invitation is in his arms. After agreeing, Bao Yugang came to Swire Airlines again on the morning of June 10. As soon as he sat down, Bao Yugang asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, you took the initiative to contact me. It should be a good result from the last consideration, right?" Wade Shi Yahuai leaned forward and looked at Bao Yugang in an oppressive manner. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through Bao Yugang''s heart, and he said coldly: "Mr. Bao, the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company You can transfer part of it to you, and the conditions discussed last time will be directly invalidated, as long as you agree to the following conditions of cooperation." Wade Shi Yahuai¡¯s words directly overturned Bao Yu¡¯s plan when he first arrived. He frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart He calmly said, "Mr. Shi Yahuai may wish to use it first. Which way of cooperation, I will seriously consider." Wade Shi Yahuai looked directly at Bao Yugang, and solemnly said: "Bao Yugang, you have to take out the equity of Dongfeng Airlines!" Dongfeng Airlines! As soon as the name came out, Bao Yugang frowned and looked at Wade Shi Yahuai''s scrutiny gaze. He groaned without speaking, and started thinking quickly. This time he was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Wade Shiyahuai to know Dongfeng Airlines so soon. Fortunately, when Xia Yu told him before, he also mentioned that he was asked to use Dongfeng Airlines¡¯ equity. Bait caught Shi Yahuai''s family. However, Bao Yugang is well aware of the art of negotiation, so now he has an idea in his heart and pretends not to have it, and his face has a complex look of distress and surprise. Seeing Bao Yugang''s expression wrong, Wade Shi Yahuai thought he had uncovered Bao Yugang''s secret, and he was quite elated. He was more affirmed in his heart and his uncle¡¯s strategy, and squinted slightly and asked: "Mr. Bao, you wouldn¡¯t tell me that Dongfeng Airlines is not yours. It stands to reason that the registration information I checked in the Industrial and Commercial Administration should be correct, right? ?" Bao Yugang admitted frankly and said indifferently: "Yes, Dongfeng Airlines is indeed me as the legal person, and I have not deliberately hidden it, but I did not expect that Mr. Shi Yahuai was so concerned about the market that he knew the news." Wade Shiya laughed, feeling a little complacent, and said loudly: "Mr. Bao, since there is nothing wrong, then we return to the earliest topic. The equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company can only be replaced by equity of Dongfeng Airlines." "Mr. Bao, what do you think?" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 990: Have their own calculations Acting to be true! Bao Yugang knew that the more this time, the less he could make Wade Shiyahuai doubt, and that his thinking had to be further fixed, so as to benefit his plan. Maybe I can take this opportunity to achieve greater results and give Xia Yu a greater help. Therefore, with a pensive expression on his face, he did not answer Wade Shi Yahuai''s question for a long time, and appeared very cautious and hesitant. Wade Shiya moved his heart, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart. He leaned back and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Mr. Bao, to be honest, I didn''t expect you to secretly set up an airline company. Do you want to compete directly with Swire Airlines? I thought that to open an airline is to spend money to buy a plane, right?" As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang''s face suddenly became gloomy, and he said lukewarm: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, do you want to force us to compete with Swire Airlines in all fields?" "If you don''t believe in our financial resources, I think we can try!" (¡Ño¡Ñ)... He didn''t expect that Bao Yugang, who had been begging for shares in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, had changed his amiable attitude and changed his attitude. Wade Shi Yahuai was directly stunned by the shock, but he could only endure it. He realized that he had made a mistake. However, the negotiation is the most imposing. If you are too direct, you can''t talk about it, but he can bring the initiative back. After all, Swire Airlines now has a huge advantage. Wade Shiyahuai looked as usual, and said lightly: "Mr. Bao, you don''t have to say something outrageous. You have strong financial resources. The financial resources of our Taikoo consortium are obvious to all. The verbal disputes are not interesting." "The current market situation is very clear. Swire Airlines covers the entire aviation industry. Even if your Dongfeng Airlines wants to compete, it cannot break our blockade." "However, we at Swire Airlines have always welcomed competition. We always believe that competition and cooperation coexist. Competition can promote common progress and open up a larger market. Therefore, we also want to help Dongfeng Airlines grow and move from Xiangjiang to the world together. Class airline." "But after all, cooperation is between the two sides. It is useless how we think about it. The key depends on whether you are willing to take over our kindness, Mr. Bao." How hypocritical to hear this. From Wade Shi Yahuai''s hypocritical words, Bao Yugang also knew that he was already in a hurry, and that he never left Dongfeng Airlines. Obviously, he wanted the equity of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Services Company before, and Swire Airlines was firmly seated in Diaoyutai. But now it is Wade Shiyahuai who wants the equity of Dongfeng Airlines to change from passive to active. This opportunity is great! Watching Wade Shi Yahuai staring straight at him, Bao Yugang knew that it was time for the next episode. He slowed down and said: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, what you said is reasonable. Swire Airlines can do this level and has a lot to do with your mind. If you can cooperate to achieve a win-win situation, of course it is the best." "But Mr. Shi Yahuai, Dongfeng Airlines has a registered capital of up to 1 billion Hong Kong dollars and has already started construction. Even if it only counts its assets, what can you take out to buy shares?" "I have to tell you in advance that Dongfeng Airlines is not short of money, and I am not short of money. Now the company''s 1 billion Hong Kong dollar capital does not know how long it will take forever, so if you plan to inject capital into shares, then forget it." Wade Shi Yahuai''s face was tangled. Facing Bao Yugang''s conditions, he felt very difficult, but he could not overthrow it. After all, he first proposed that as long as the equity does not require money, Bao Yugang only offered the same conditions as him. If he overthrew Bao Yugang''s conditions, he would overthrow his own conditions, then there would be nothing to discuss. Looking at the faint smile on Bao Yugang¡¯s face, Wade Shiyahuai bit his scalp and smiled: ¡°Since Mr. Bao is not short of money, he naturally replaces it with other assets. Service company equity." Bao Yugang immediately took the conversation and said, "This is okay, but I don''t know how much equity Mr. Shi Yahuai is going to use to replace Dongfeng Airlines'' equity?" "This¡­¡­" Wade Shiyahuai was immediately embarrassed, and based on the preliminary preparations he had made at the time, combined with the status quo of the negotiations, he quickly thought about it. Swire Airlines directly holds 41% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Services Company, and holds 4% of the shares through Cathay Pacific Airways, for a total of 45%. The Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company¡¯s valuation in Economic Weekly is HK$350 million. Calculated based on this valuation, then the 45% equity held directly or indirectly by Swire Airlines is worth HK$157.5 million. Even if all the shares of Dongfeng Airlines are replaced, it can only replace 15.75%! But you can never do this! If it is changed, then Swire Airlines will lose the ground handling company of Hong Kong Airport, and there will be a gap in Swire Airlines'' industrial chain. After considering it in his mind, he decided to retain more than 33.3% of the shares in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company. He could not break through this line and retain the right of veto, while maintaining Swire Airlines'' control and interests. Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Mr. Bao, Swire Airlines can take out 11.5% of the shares in the ground handling company of Hong Kong Airport!" Bao Yugang''s eyes condensed, and he secretly said that Wade Shi Yahuai''s vigilance was strong enough, and at this time he still remembered one-third of this line. This is not what he wants! Therefore, he smiled and said: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, 11.5% of the equity is too little, you are too insincere!" Wade Shiyahuai was unmoved, shook his head and said: "Swire Airlines will only offer so many equity transfers. This is the bottom line!" "If there are too many transfers, the company will easily lose control." Speaking of this, Wade Shi Yahuai deliberately looked at Bao Yugang for a few seconds, as if he wanted to see something. Although in Bao Yugang''s view, Wade Shiyahuai''s actions were aggressive, but he did not dare to take the risk to make him truly suspicious. There was a move in his heart, planning to negotiate another way to see if Wade Shiyahuai could let Wade Shiyahuai give up his insistence. I saw Bao Yugang smiling and saying, "Mr. Shi Yahuai is too unconfident in himself, but this is understandable." "We are all swapping at a fair price. The 11.5% equity can only replace about 4% of Dongfeng Airlines'' equity. Am I right?" "If it is correct, the transaction can be completed today." Holding a 4% stake in Dongfeng Airlines has an ass. How could Wade Shiyahuai be satisfied! He immediately shook his head and said: "Mr. Bao, don''t worry, listen to me first. I am going to replace 20% of Dongfeng Airlines'' equity!" Bao Yugang was sure in his heart, but frowned on his face, looking embarrassed, and refused: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, this number of shares is too much. Dongfeng Airlines is a new company and cannot transfer too many shares at first! " "And with all due respect, even if you want to replace the 20% equity of Dongfeng Airlines in addition to the 11.5% equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Services Company, you still have to put out a value of 160 million Hong Kong dollars. Assets that are beneficial to Dongfeng Airlines are unrealistic!" The first sentence expressly refused, but the latter sentence left an opportunity, and used a more obscure aggressive method. The pocket has been opened, and it depends on whether Wade Shiyahuai will get in. After speaking, Bao Yugang paid close attention to any changes in Wade Shi Yahuai''s expression, and he was somewhat expecting Wade Shi Yahuai''s reaction. Sure enough, Wade Shi Yahuai did not see through Bao Yugang''s routine, thinking that Bao Yugang was resisting the transfer of so much equity. The more so, the firmer his mind became. He said: "Mr. Bao, 4% of the equity is too small. If it is less than 20%, it cannot guarantee the interests of Swire Airlines. Then how can we fully cooperate with Dongfeng Airlines?" "As for assets, you might underestimate our Swire Airlines. To show our sincerity, we can take out the shares of Cathay Pacific and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company for replacement. What do you think?" After speaking, Wade Shiya smiled slightly and looked at Bao Yugang quietly. Wade Shiyahuai took the initiative to jump! Bao Yugang was overjoyed. The east is not bright, the west is bright! As long as Wade Shiyahuai takes out even 1.1% of Cathay Pacific''s equity , it can play a key role, even if he does not help Xia Yu control the ground handling company of Xiangjiang Airport! After all, Xia Yu, in order to obtain more than 66.7% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, was not to forcefully transfer the company''s 45% of Cathay Pacific''s shares? As long as it exceeds 50% and is lower than 66.7%, 0.1% more and 4% more have exactly the same meaning! He pretended to be difficult to think for a long time before letting go when Wade Shi Yahuai was a little uncomfortable: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, you might as well say first, how much equity are you going to take out of Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company?" When Bao Yu just pretended to think, Wade Shi Yahuai was also in his heart. Therefore, facing Bao Yugang¡¯s question, he immediately replied: ¡°Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Corporation each have a 5% equity interest!¡± After speaking, he further explained: "According to the outside world''s valuation of Cathay Pacific, it has reached 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a 5% stake is valued at 140 million Hong Kong dollars." "The real-time market value of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. is 710 million Hong Kong dollars. I don''t care about a small fraction. The 5% equity value is 35.5 million Hong Kong dollars!" "The combined value of these two shares is HK$177.5 million, which is enough to replace 17.75% of Dongfeng Airlines'' shares, right?" "A little more than a little bit, if Mr. Bao minds, I can also drop some equity, but if you do this, Mr. Bao will have to lose a seat on the board of a company." https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 991: Plan on the verge of exposure Bao Yugang was silent again. Although Wade Shiyahuai still has a smile on his face, it can be seen from his gradually hardened hands that his heart is becoming nervous. After a long time, Bao Yugang finally made a statement. "Mr. Shi Yahuai, 20% of the equity is already a high limit, so don''t exceed it. I don''t care even if I lose a seat on the board of directors of a company." Seeing Bao Yugang''s promise, Wade Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bao Yugang promised 20%, he exceeded his expectations. So he immediately said: "Alright, cooperation is about mutual satisfaction. Since Mr. Bao has put forward an opinion, then I have no objection." "How to replace the equity of the two companies?" Bao Yugang said: ¡°Cathay Pacific Airways still owns 5% of the shares, and the rest will be made up with the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company.¡± Wade Shi Yahuai also guessed that Bao Yugang would choose this way. After all, Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity is significantly more valuable. Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. is already a listed company. Even if there is a shortfall, it can be acquired from the secondary market. With a little money, it can increase its holdings to more than 5%. It can also obtain board seats, but only time It will be a little later. Wade Shiyahuai nodded and said, "Yes, just follow this method." "Let''s complete the transaction in a few days." Bao Yugang frowned and noticed something was wrong. Talking about this level, it is completely possible to sign the agreement directly, but it has been a few days before the transaction. So what are you going to do in the next few days? Bao Yugang''s intuition in the ups and downs of Shanghai for many years told him that there are many dreams in the sleepless night, and Wade Shiyahuai must not be allowed to drag him for a few days, otherwise it is very likely that major problems will occur. Therefore, he smiled and said: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, since it''s all about this level, and it''s only the morning, and today is completely in time, let''s just complete the transaction today and save us time and time again." Wade Shi Yahuai also knows that his request is a bit abrupt, and to be honest, he is also a little worried that Bao Yugang will go back, after all, Dongfeng Airlines has two shareholders besides Bao Yugang. In order to be safe, he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Bao, how about it? The equity certificates of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. happen to be deposited in this building. We can trade this part first." "As for the equity of Cathay Pacific, it is not here for the time being. I have to go back and find out where it is. Anyway, it has been negotiated. I don''t care about these days." something wrong! There is definitely a problem! Bao Yugang was even more sure that Wade Shiya had a conspiracy. The more so, the less he can make Wade Shiyahuai happy. Co-author Wade Shiyahuai replaced the less important shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company first, and advanced to Dongfeng Airlines, but he did not get the most important shares of Cathay Pacific Airways. How can this work? ? In the event of a problem, he promised that Xia Yu''s things would not be completed. It is not important to lose face. The key is that it will have a huge impact on Xia Yu''s plan. He cannot cheat Xia Yu! Whatever you say, you have to get the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways today! Bao Yugang turned at high speed in his mind and thought of a way. With a helpless expression on his face, he said to Wade Shi Yahuai: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, it''s not that I am unreasonable. You should know how I am. I am straightforward and straightforward, so I will tell you something clearly." "It is true that my schedule has already been set. I will have to fly to the UK tomorrow morning, stay in the UK for about ten days and then fly to the United States to handle some things. I have to stay in the United States for about half a month. One of the things is going to Boeing. Another thing about purchasing aircraft is to meet a partner, who is the person in charge of Huanyu Holdings, another shareholder of Dongfeng Airlines." "So when I come back next time, it will take at least twenty-five days, maybe one month." Wade Shiyahuai was very helpless, but he still grasped a key message, that is, Universal Holdings. He immediately asked: "Mr. Bao, I don''t know whose company this Universal Holdings is? We will be colleagues soon. I don''t even know the identity of this shareholder." Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, you probably don''t know. Huanyu Holdings is a company of a Chinese family in the United States. I will introduce it to you later when I have a chance." "This time I go to the United States, I have to tell them about the transfer of equity to you, and then we will re-divide equity among the three of us." "If I didn''t finish it before I set off, I would have to wait until I came back." Speaking of this, Bao Yugang paused and said again: "This time I promised Mr. Shi Yahuai you to join. It is mainly that I am alone to make the decision. First, I will take out my personal equity and transfer it to you. Between the three of us After discussing it again, I haven''t discussed it with them. Generally speaking, they should agree." Bao Yugang said "should" rather than "sure." This time, it was Wade Shiya''s turn to be anxious. He is also worried that a moth will come out at that time. If the shareholder of Huanyu Holdings objects, then Bao Yugang is likely to favor Huanyu Holdings. Thinking of this, Wade Shi Yahuai took a deep breath to calm himself, then smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, since you are going on a business trip for so long, then we still fight for it and see if we can complete the transaction today." "But I do not remember exactly where the certificate of equity of Cathay Pacific Airways is located. I have to go back and look for it, and ask other people if they know it." "Let¡¯s prepare first. If I find one, I¡¯ll call you and come back in the afternoon to complete the transaction. What do you think?" Bao Yugang smiled and nodded and said, "No problem, then it''s settled!" He stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand to Wade Shiyahuai and said: "I wish we have a happy cooperation!" Wade Shi Yahuai also got up and shook his hand with Bao Yugang: "Extremely looking forward to it!" ... After watching Bao Yu just leave, Wade Shi Yahuai immediately called and confirmed that his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai was not far away from the Swire Group headquarters. He hurried over and found Norman Shi Yahuai who was reviewing documents in the chairman''s office. Norman Shi Yahuai put down his pen and smiled and asked his nephew about the situation: "Wade, how is the discussion with Bao Yugang?" Wade Shiyahuai poured a glass of mineral water and drank it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, the negotiation has been completed. We will use the 11.5% equity of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company and the 5% of Cathay Pacific Airways. Bao Yugang has agreed to replace 20% of the equity of Dongfeng Airlines with a total of 200 million Hong Kong dollars worth of equity, and part of the equity of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company." "I originally found an excuse to delay the transaction for a few days, but Bao Yugang said that he would go to the UK tomorrow, and then to the US, and he would be back in 25 days at the earliest." "He went to the U.S. mainly to purchase airplanes from Boeing. At the same time, he met with the person in charge of Huanyu Holdings, another shareholder of Dongfeng Airlines. By the way, he also said that Huanyu Holdings is a company of a Chinese family in the United States. He did not say exactly who it was. , I just said that I will be introduced later, provided that I become a shareholder." "This time Bao Yugang promised to take out 20% of the equity from his personal name. Later, he will have to discuss with other shareholders to re-divide the equity between them. I am afraid that there will be a long delay. Trouble, so I can only say to find Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity certificate first and try to complete the transaction with him today." Norman Shi Yahuai nodded slightly, thinking about it based on his nephew''s report. After a while, he smiled satisfied and said: "Yes, the ground handling service company of Xiangjiang Airport has kept the bottom line!" "But why do you delay for a few days?" According to the original discussion between the two, they did not say that it would be delayed for a few days. This was completely the result of Wade Shi Yahuai''s own assertion. However, Norman Shiyahuai did not have any opinions. After all, the plan belongs to the plan, and any situation in actual negotiations can happen. It can be seen as playing on the spot and adapting to changes. Wade Shiyahuai has every right to make his own choice. Speaking of this, Wade Shi Yahuai lifted up his spirits and said loudly, "Uncle, I mainly thought about insurance." "After all, we now own 51% of Cathay Pacific Airways and 51% of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company. If we transfer the equity according to the negotiated terms, our equity will be reduced to 100%. Less than fifty." "Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company is fortunate. It is a listed company after all. Even if our accumulated equity is reduced to about 46%, there is no need to worry about the big risks. No one can quietly reduce the public shareholding ratio. To less than four percent." ¡°I¡¯m just worried about Cathay Pacific Airways, so I¡¯m going to delay it for a few days. I will use these few days to acquire a part of the shares held by HSBC or the Song family, and then use this part of the equity for 5% of the equity. With Bao Yugang, our shareholding ratio will not be lower than 51% during the whole process, and there will be no risk." Norman Shi Yahuai said with satisfaction: "You are thinking well!" "It''s a pity that Bao Yugang is leaving tomorrow..." Wade Shi Yahuai said helplessly after being happy. It would be great if he could wait a few days. He wouldn''t have to run over and let his uncle Norman Shiyahuai decide that he could do it well by himself. Norman Shi Yahuai narrowed his smile and thought for a while and asked his nephew: "Wade, you negotiated with Bao Yugang on the spot. He said he will leave Xiangjiang for at least 25 days. Is it true or not? Can you? determine?" Wade Shiyahuai thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be true Norman Shiyahuai is also a little uncertain, and said to Wade Shiyahuai: "You speak the complete Tell me about the negotiation situation, don''t mix with personal subjective opinions. " "Ok!" "..." Wade Shi Yahuai explained the negotiation process with Bao Yugang at a faster rate. After speaking, he looked at Norman Shi Yahuai quietly. After listening to his nephew''s account, Norman Shiyahuai was also unable to confirm and found nothing wrong. After all, Bao Yugang is an old fox, even if he is acting, he will not show any footwork. Where can Wade Shi Yahuai tell? If Norman Shi Yahuai personally talked with Bao Yugang, maybe he might find something wrong. But who told Wade Shiyahuai to talk about it? After thinking to no avail, Norman Shi Yahuai could only give up looking for answers here. He thought for a while and said, "Wade, since you promised to meet Bao Yugang in the afternoon, time is urgent, you are responsible for finding the Song family, and I will find Shen Bi." "There are two purposes!" "First, make sure that the equity is still in their hands!" "The second is to try to buy at least 5% of the equity!" "The second purpose may be difficult to accomplish today, but it must be confirmed that the equity is still there, understand?" Wade Shi Yahuai nodded solemnly and said: "Understood!" "Uncle, time is urgent, I will go to the Song family now." Norman Shiya nodded and said, "Go, I''m going to HSBC now." ps: Two changes of six thousand and five hundred words have been completed, and I am continuing to look for the status to make the plot seamless. If there is a bug, please point it out, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 992: Key breakthrough Office of the Chairman of the HSBC Bank Building, Central, Hong Kong Island. Shen Bi instructed the secretary who called in: "Rand, the chairman of Swire Group Norman Shiyahuai will be here soon. You can change a batch of fresh fruits, coffee and tea to get the best." "Yes!" Secretary Landt responded immediately, then picked up the fruit tray and walked out quickly. Shen Bi sat on the chair, and a guess came to mind. "Is it because of the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company?" Apart from that, he could not think of anything Norman Shiyahuai had coming to him in the near future. If this is the case, then he has to prepare immediately. ... About eight minutes later. Norman Shi Yahuai led the reception staff to Shen Bi''s office, and Shen Bi got up and went out to greet him. "Norman, we meet again, please come in!" "Michael, good morning!" After a brief exchange of handshake, Norman Shi Yahuai was greeted by Shen Bi into the office, and the two sat on a soft and comfortable leather sofa together. After Shen Bi''s secretary, Landt, asked Norman Shi Yahuai, they served different flavors of coffee for the two of them, and then left the office and closed the office door by the way. For a time, there were only Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai in the office. Shen Bi smiled and asked, "Norman, do you have anything to do? If I can do it, I will do my best." Norman Shiya smiled and thanked: "Thank you!" Then he said: "Michael, I came to visit you suddenly today. There is indeed something urgent that needs your help." "I hope to buy some of the shares of Cathay Pacific and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company held by HSBC!" "I hope the transaction will be completed today if it is convenient." Facing Norman Shi Yahuai''s scorching gaze, Shen Bi secretly said in his heart that it was so, with a hesitant look on his face: "This..." Norman Shi Yahuai burst into his heart, clenched his fists subconsciously, his face suddenly changed, and asked anxiously: "Michael, are these shares out of HSBC?" Shen Bi was taken aback, and said with a faint smile: "Norman, don''t be nervous, listen to me first." Norman Shi Yahuai forced his mood to calm down, looking straight at Shen Bi, waiting for his answer, but his still clenched fist indicated that his heart was very tense. Shen Bi also knew Norman Shi Yahuai''s mood at this time, so he didn''t sell it. According to Norman Shi Yahuai''s heart draft prepared before he came, he said: "Norman, it is impossible to complete the transaction today." "Because the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. originally held by HSBC were transferred to HSBC Holdings, the British parent company, just like the shares of other companies during the last bank''s asset accounting." "So if you want, I have to apply to the parent company first, and then the parent company will approve and find it and then transfer it to our Hong Kong HSBC Bank, and then I can talk to you about the transaction." Hearing Shen Bi''s explanation, Norman Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief, and the clenched fist gradually loosened, which was not something he didn''t want to see. He also didn''t care about why the equity was transferred to HSBC''s parent company. After all, from Shen Bi''s words, he knew that it was not only the equity of Cathay Pacific and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering, but also the equity of other companies. Given the relationship between Shen Bi and him, he did not suspect that Shen Bi would lie to him here. He then asked what he cared more about. "Michael, how long does this process take? Can you give me an approximate time?" Shen Bi frowned for a moment and shook his head under Norman Shi Yahuai''s concerned eyes, and said apologetically: "Norman, I really can''t guarantee this time." "It''s very simple for me to write an application here, and it doesn''t take long to report it, but the key lies in the decision of the parent company. I can only try to urge it, but there is no guarantee how long it will take." Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai''s face a little ugly, Shen Bi immediately promised: "But don''t worry, if I get back the equity from the parent company, I will notify you as soon as possible, and I won''t make you embarrassed in terms of price. " Shen Bi said that for this reason, Norman Shiyahuai knew that there was no way to buy shares from HSBC today. But for the first purpose, he still had to confirm it. So he smiled and said, "Michael, please, please!" "By the way, the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. should be determined to remain in HSBC Holdings'' hands?" Shen Bi did not answer positively, but gave a specious answer: "If it is sold, I can know, but now I have not been notified that the equity has been sold, so the equity should still be in the parent company." Shen Bi was embarrassed in his heart, so he didn''t dare to say something dead, leaving himself a way out. Of course, what he said was correct. He did not receive a notice, and he did not know whether it was sold. HSBC Holdings sold the equity, but it also helped Bright Fund keep secret. Norman Shi Yahuai looked at Shen Bi for a few seconds, then nodded gently, he chose to believe what Shen Bi said. He said sincerely and solemnly: "Well, Michael, this matter is very important to me, please help me as soon as possible." Shen Bi smiled and nodded, then looked at his watch, and said to Norman Shi Yahuai: "No problem, just count the time. It''s not dawn in London now. When it''s official over there, I will ask immediately." "Thank you!" Norman Shi Yahuai thanked again. Shen Bi pondered for a moment and asked: "Norman, can I know how you suddenly wanted to buy back some of the shares of Cathay Pacific and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company?" After all, it is to buy back the equity and then use it to replace the equity of Dongfeng Airlines. It is not good for HSBC, and it will be embarrassing to say it, and he does not want to expose the matter before he succeeds. So Norman Shiyahuai chose to conceal the truth temporarily. He smiled and said: "Michael, it is mainly to strengthen the control of Cathay Pacific Airways'' acquisition of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, and to promote the development of Swire Airlines, it is indeed necessary to increase the shareholding ratio." Shen Bi knew that Norman Shi Yahuai had not told the truth. He took a deep look at Norman Shi Yahuai, and sighed in his heart. He was also a little disappointed in Norman Shi Yahuai, and at the same time he was gradually relieved. He was not the only one who lied, Norman Shiyahuai also lied to him, so there is no need for him to have any psychological burden. If Norman Shiyahuai tells the truth, he can obtain more information and confirm that Norman Shiyahuai knows who is acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways, then he can also reveal the truth to Norman Shiyahuai, or not Cause trouble to the parent company. But Norman Shiyahuai did not say that he could not be sure, in order not to affect the parent company, and for his own future, he could only choose to keep the secret in his heart. However, out of years of friendship, he still wanted to remind Norman Shi Yahuai implicitly, whether it is effective depends on Norman Shi Yahuai himself. He nodded with approval and said, "Norman, your idea is right. No matter how good the company is, it is useless if you can''t control it yourself. I support you to strengthen your control over the company. This is very important." Norman Shiyahuai smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes." Then there is no more text. Shen Bi frowned slightly, unable to determine whether Norman Shiyahuai heard the deep meaning of his words. At this moment, Norman Shi Yahuai took a sip of coffee, put the quilt down, and said to Shen Bi: "Michael, I have something to do. I will leave first. I won¡¯t disturb you. I have time to go golfing together on weekends. ." "I beg you on this matter. Let me know if there is news." "Okay!" Shen Bi answered with a smile and nodding. "Then I''m leaving now!" "I will give it to you." After personally sending Norman Shiyahuai out of the headquarters gate, he watched his car start to leave, Shen Bi sighed and thought to himself: "Norman, I hope you can be as cautious as you said. Holding shares, as long as you don¡¯t make mistakes yourself, no one can steal your company. The key lies in yourself..." Thinking of this, Shen Bi was a little bit disappointed, shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it, turned and walked towards the elevator entrance. ... Wade Shi Yahuai is going to the Song family to find someone, so he is not as fast as Norman Shi Yahuai. So when I got off work in the morning, Wade Shiyahuai still didn''t get it done. But when it was around one noon, Wade Shi Yahuai hurried back to the family and met his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai who was not thinking about falling asleep. Seeing his nephew coming in, Norman Shiyahuai asked immediately: "Wade, what happened?" Wade Shiyahuai just sat down and took a few breaths to make his breathing easier to speak. "Uncle, I found Song Bo, the Patriarch of the Song family, and the equity is still in the hands of the Song family. I read the equity certificate." Hearing this, Norman Shi Yahuai''s expression relaxed. Then he heard the words behind Wade Shi Yahuai. "However, Song Bo did not agree to my proposal to buy equity. He shrugged off his optimism about Cathay Pacific. No matter what I say, he is not willing to transfer." "And he also said that from beginning to end, he has always supported our management so let us rest assured that he will always be on our side." "Knowing that I couldn''t talk about it, I didn''t continue to persuade, and I waited until I had made sufficient preparations before I went to talk to him." Norman Shiyahuai thought for a while and said, "Well, since Song Bo said so, he shouldn''t lie to us." Wade Shi Yahuai echoed: "Yes, I also consider that the Song family has cooperated with our family for decades. The Song family also has a lot of interests within the consortium. For his entire family, he has no reason to betray us. ." Norman Shi Yahuai nodded slightly. Wade Shiyahuai asked, "Uncle, what about HSBC?" Norman Shi Yahuai''s face sank and he told the situation again. In the face of what his uncle said, Wade Shiyahuai was not good at saying anything, and continuing to ask would only embarrass his uncle, so he wisely did not ask any more and talked about the most critical topic. "Uncle, it''s one o''clock now, less than two hours before three o''clock in the afternoon, should we trade with Bao Yugang?" After asking, Wade Shi Yahuai quietly looked at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, waiting for his decision. Norman Shiyahuai thought for a long time, his eyes became firm, and solemnly said: "Make a deal, lest there will be problems when time is delayed." "I will ask the British side to contact HSBC Holdings directly, and both sides will proceed at the same time. As long as they get a part of the shares held by HSBC, it does not matter if Song Jiazhuan will not transfer it." "In a few days, the impact should not be significant." Wade Shiyahuai nodded hurriedly and replied: "Okay, then I will now let people prepare something for the afternoon." "Well, thank you for your hard work!" "No hard work, for the glory of the family!" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 993: Acquisition exposure Two hours passed in a flash, and it was three o''clock in the afternoon. It is also the headquarters of Swire Airlines. Bao Yugang and Wade Shi Yahuai sat down face-to-face, beside them, were their assistants and lawyers. After a brief greeting, he entered the formal trading procedure. The lawyers brought by each review the contract, the accountant calculates the value of the equity and the transaction price, and finally negotiates and revises the disputed terms. Because the transaction this time is limited to equity transactions and does not involve large amounts of funds, there is no need to go to the bank, which saves a lot of time in this regard. It only took an hour to complete the transaction. Swire Airlines acquired a 20% stake in Dongfeng Airlines. Bao Yugang received a 5% equity interest in Cathay Pacific Airways, an 11.5% equity interest in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services Company, and a 2.78% equity interest in Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. After the transaction was completed, Bao Yugang didn''t stay too much. He took these equity certificates and contracts and immediately drove from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon. After half an hour. Under the leadership of the reception staff, Bao Yugang came to Xia Yu''s office. Xia Yu, who was processing the documents, saw Bao Yugang appearing at the door with an unexpected look, and then got up with a smile on his face and walked quickly to meet him. "Old Bao, why are you here, please sit down." Bao Yugang laughed loudly and said, "A Yu, I''m here to bring you good news." Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and there was a guess in his heart. He glanced at the black briefcase carried by the assistant behind Bao Yugang, and asked: "nailed it?" Bao Yugang smiled and said, "It''s not done, it''s done, you must not have thought of it." After finishing speaking, he took the briefcase from his assistant, took out a stack of equity certificates and contracts, and handed them to Xia Yu and said, "A Yu, take a look first. The results are here." Xia Yu glanced at it, put it down first, and then picked it up again after making tea for Bao Yugang. With this turn, his face couldn''t help showing a smile, and his eyes were a little surprised. He understood what Bao Yugang meant when he said that he hadn''t done it, but it was done. According to the original plan, Bao Yugang was asked to acquire at least 12% of the shares in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services Company, so that his shareholding ratio would exceed two-thirds and he could forcibly transfer the company¡¯s Cathay Pacific holdings. The airline has a 4% stake. But after seeing the proof of equity, Xia Yu knew that the plan was unsuccessful. He only acquired 11.5% of the shares in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company. His shareholding ratio could not exceed two-thirds. Taikoo Airlines still has one vote. veto power. So the original plan failed. However, Bao Yugang directly helped him obtain a 5% stake in Cathay Pacific held by Swire Airlines, which is more than the stake held by Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company. From this point of view, his ultimate goal has been achieved, and he has saved trouble and achieved it in one step. In addition, there is 2.78% of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, which can be said to be a surprise. In addition to the 17.7% equity held by Jiuding Securities, the 10.9% equity held by Standard Chartered Bank, and the 8.4% equity acquired from HSBC, as well as Jiuding Securities The company acquired 3.7% of the shares from the secondary market, and he now holds 43.48% of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company! Even if the equity in exchange was 20% of Dongfeng Airlines'' equity, Xia Yu didn''t care. Anyway, without a veto, Swire Airways entered the market. He tweeted, and said with emotion: "Old Bao, thank you, this result really exceeded my expectations." Bao Yugang waved his hand and smiled: "What are you polite, it''s just a matter of effort." Xia Yu did not thank him any more, he continued: "Twenty percent of the equity that Taikoo Airlines received will be directly deducted from me. I will find a way to get it back then." "Yes!" Bao Yugang nodded and replied, this was discussed before, and he was not hypocritical. And he also has confidence in Xia Yu, believing that he can do what he says, and he doesn''t need to worry about this at all. "By the way, Old Bao, how did you do this? Tell me." Xia Yu asked curiously. Bao Yugang laughed, and was also intrigued, and said the whole process: "A Yu, let me just say it concisely, the thing is..." After listening to Bao Yugang''s narration, Xia Yu knew that there was luck in this process. The most important thing is that Shi Yahuai''s family discovered Dongfeng Airlines, but they did not intend to directly suppress the confrontation. Instead, they chose to invest in the infiltration, so that Bao Yugang could seize the opportunity when the opportunity arises, otherwise the plan is really likely to fail. "It seems that God is on my side!" Xia Yu said with emotion. Bao Yugang nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, there were too many accidents and accidents in the whole process, but fortunately, Ayu, your lucky star, the plan was completed smoothly." Speaking of this, Bao Yugang paused suddenly, his expression becoming solemn. Xia Yu, who wanted to respond, also stopped talking, raised his brows slightly, and asked: "Old Bao, what''s wrong?" Bao Yugang asked Xia Yu solemnly: "A Yu, plus the current harvest, how far have you been here?" Xia Yu calculated it in his heart, and said truthfully: "The 66.5% equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company." "Cathay Pacific Airways has a 38% stake." "Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company has a 43.48% stake." Bao Yugang directly ignored the shareholding ratios of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, and focused on the core Cathay Pacific Airways. He thought for a while and said, "A Yu, you already have 38% of the equity here, and you have a veto right. As long as you take the equity of the Song family, then Cathay Pacific Airways will be caught more than half. Up." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have already looked for Song Bo, it depends on how he chooses." "But even if he doesn''t agree, he can still fight the war of attrition with the Swire Consortium based on the current shareholding ratio, and relying on hard power, there is still a chance of a comeback. Bao Yugang said solemnly: "A Yu, there is a big difference between a war of attrition that takes the initiative and a war of attrition that does not take the initiative. I suggest you get Song Bo as soon as possible in the past few days to avoid accidents." Xia Yu raised his brows and asked, "Are you worried that the Shi Yahuai family will buy the equity of the Song family?" Bao Yugang nodded and said, "Yes, I was worried about accidents during the negotiation this morning, so I lied to Wade Shi Yahuai that I would go abroad tomorrow, and it would take 25 days to return at the earliest." "Originally, when the negotiation was basically settled, he also said to wait a few days before trading. I didn''t want to understand it at the time, but felt something was wrong, so I didn''t want him to be happy and found an excuse to lie to him. After I went back, I figured it out and guessed how much he delayed. Tian is to buy some equity from HSBC or Song Family to use to replace Dongfeng Airlines¡¯ equity with me." "After I figured it out, I feel fortunate and made up my mind that if he doesn''t take the initiative to contact me this afternoon, I will also find a way to complete the transaction today." "Fortunately, the Shi Yahuai family also coveted Dongfeng Airlines, so the transaction is completed today." "You have already bought the shares of HSBC. I don''t know if Shen Bi will leak the news. If the news is revealed, then the Shi Yahuai family will definitely find ways to buy equity from the Song family to increase their shareholding ratio." "So I suggest you get the Song family as soon as possible, the sooner the better, so as not to have many dreams at night!" Xia Yu nodded solemnly and said, "I know, I will treat me well." What should have been said, and seeing that Xia Yu had heard it, Bao Yugang did not continue to say it. Only then did he feel that he had spoken so much, and his mouth was a little dry. He immediately picked up the teacup and drank the tea. Xia Yu drank a sip of tea with a thoughtful expression on his face. After thinking for a while, he asked Bao Yugang: "Old Bao, do you know who Song Bo is closer to?" Bao Yugang was taken aback, and then he understood Xia Yu''s potential thoughts. He thought about it and said, "I have a good relationship with Song Bo, and Lao Huo is similar. After all, we are different from the Song family. We are the emerging rich, the Song family. It''s a veteran giant." "As far as I know, the close relationship with Song Bo is nothing more than the old and wealthy families such as Hejia, Lijia, and Lijia of the Bank of East Asia, and the emerging wealthy class. I have never heard of anyone who has a close relationship with him~www.novelhall.com ~Xia Yu is not very familiar with the families mentioned by Bao Yugang. The one who is relatively more familiar is only the Li family of the Bank of East Asia, but after careful calculation, they are just ordinary friends, far less than him, Bao Yugang and Huo Ying The relationship between East. Even the closeness of his relationship with Li Zhaoji and others can''t match. Therefore, his method of trying to get Song Bo through other people seems to be unworkable. It seems that I still have to come by myself! Xia Yu smiled and said: "It seems that this road is nowhere to go. I think of other ways, it depends on how the Song family chooses." Bao Yugang nodded slightly and said to Xia Yu: "A Yu, the Song family has a deep connection with the Swire Consortium. It is more difficult for them to take out equity than HSBC. The key depends on how Song Bo chooses." "If it doesn''t work, I suggest you try carrot and stick, let him choose between benefits and harm." "I understand!" Xia Yu said with a smile and nodded. He didn''t say that he had done this before. Afterwards, Bao Yugang chatted with Xia Yu for a while, saw that it was late, and took the opportunity to leave. That night, Xia Yu called Song Bo again and tried to persuade him again. During the call, Song Bo still didn''t let go. No matter what Xia Yu said, he just kindly expressed that he hadn''t considered it well. Once a decision is made, he must contact Xia Yu as soon as possible... In short, it is a bunch of nonsense. ... The night after two days. Just when Norman Shiyahuai was about to turn off the TV and go to sleep, his youngest son Boris Shiyahuai, who likes to mess around outside, suddenly returned home and brought him a shocking news. Xia Yu is acquiring the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways held by the Song family! ! ! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 994: War...may be coming Upon hearing this news, Norman Shiyahuai, who was a little sleepy, could not be sober anymore. With a solemn expression, he asked his youngest son Boris Shiyahuai: "Boris, where did you know this news? Are you sure it is true?" Boris Shi Yahuai rarely saw his father''s solemn look. He remembered the scene of being reprimanded by his father when he was a child, and couldn''t help but shrink his neck. He swallowed, gathered the courage to nod his head and said: "Father, this news is not wrong. Song Zhiming told me personally. I have confirmed to him several times that he patted his chest and swore it was true." Norman Shiyahuai clenched his fists subconsciously, his expression gloomy. The more this time, the more calm he became. He pulled his son onto the sofa and sat down. Boris Shiyahuai had planned to wander outside tonight, but came back in a hurry to realize that this matter is important to the family. But looking at his father''s performance, it seems that he still underestimated the importance of this matter. Fortunately, he also subconsciously slowed down his breathing for fear of affecting his father''s thinking. At this moment, Norman Shi Yahuai, who had been thinking for a moment, said to his younger son Boris: "Boris, why did Song Zhiming tell you about this, and tell you the process carefully." Boris Shi Yahuai spoke directly about tonight''s affairs without delay. "Father, a group of us are having a party outside tonight, and Song Zhiming also participated. He is a arrogant person and a strong vanity. He said this after he got drunk tonight. He said it was a few days. After returning home, he heard that his father was talking about this matter with his second brother Song Zhicheng, and he also asked the doorman later, confirming that Xia Yu had come to her house, so I can be sure that the news is correct... He also asked me to be thankful he." After listening to the youngest son''s account, the last bit of luck in Norman Shiyahuai''s heart disappeared. Although the younger son said that Song Zhiming was drunk. But he has spent most of his life in Xiangjiang, and he still knows some Chinese proverbs. Youdao speaks truth after drunk, and Song Zhiming said it in detail, not like a lie at all. Norman Shi Yahuai, who has a growing sense of crisis in his mind, quickly diverges, and various possible situations and reasons emerge in his mind. The first to bear the brunt was the transaction with Bao Yugang that just ended two days ago. "Will this be a trap?" Norman Shiyahuai carefully calculated the shares controlled by the group. Whether it is the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company or the most important Cathay Pacific Airways, the cumulative shareholding ratio of the group is already less than 51%! Fortunately, Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company is a listed company after all, its shareholding ratio is very close to 51%, and it is very safe. I''m afraid of the unlisted Cathay Pacific Airways and the ground handling service company of Hong Kong Airport! The more I think about it, the anxiety in Norman Shiya''s heart becomes stronger. He quickly picked up the phone and called his nephew Wade Shiyahuai. It took half a minute for the call to be connected, and Norman Shiyahuai couldn''t help but ordered Wade Shiyahuai on the other end of the phone: "Wade, you put everything down now and come to me at the fastest speed!" Wade Shiyahuai, who was planning to further discuss the mystery of life with his wife, had to abandon his lost wife and get dressed to go out. Five minutes later... Wade Shiyahuai ran in panting, and was surprised to find that his cousin Boris Shiyahuai was also there. He nodded to him, and then asked Norman Shiyahuai, who was looking ugly, "Uncle, what happened? ?" Norman Shiyahuai did not answer, and asked directly: "Wade, when you went to Song''s house to determine the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways a few days ago, did you ask Song Bo if anyone bought equity from him recently?" Wade Shi Yahuai frowned for a while, and shook his head with certainty: "I didn''t ask this question, nor did Song Bo take the initiative to tell me. He just told me that the equity is still in their hands, and then he asked me to Take out the proof of equity." After speaking, he also had a bad feeling in his heart and immediately asked: "Uncle, did the Song family sell the equity?" Norman Shi Yahuai shook his head slightly. Just when Wade Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief, another sentence from Norman Shi Yahuai made him sit on pins and needles and almost jumped up in shock. "It hasn''t been sold yet, but it has been determined that Xia Yu has already approached him before we approached Song Bo, and wanted to buy his equity in Cathay Pacific Airways!" Wade Shi Yahuai suppressed the horror in his heart. He immediately thought of more when he was quick-minded. His face became very ugly. He looked straight at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai and said: "Uncle, did Bao Yugang buy from us? Did you buy Xia Yu¡¯s equity?" "It''s possible!" Norman Shi Yahuai nodded solemnly. Wade Shiyahuai thought about the process of negotiating with Bao Yugang before, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Bao Yugang''s performance was very natural, but when he was about to delay for a few days, Bao Yugang made an excuse. The purpose was Don''t let him delay. At that time, he and his uncle were also worried that Dongfeng Airlines'' equity would be lost, so they finally agreed to the transaction. And Bao Yugang¡¯s initial target was the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Service Company, and the amount he wanted to acquire was more than 14%. Is the target the company¡¯s equity in Cathay Pacific? And he took the initiative to give out the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways? Thinking of this, Wade Shiyahuai kept sweating on the palms of his hands, regretting it. He said his guess. After listening to his nephew, Norman Shi Yahuai''s face became even more ugly, but he had to admit that his nephew''s speculation was very reasonable. "Uncle, Xia Yu has found the Song family who is close to us. We have to prepare for the worst. The Hong Kong Airport Ground Handling Service Company is likely to change ownership. On the Cathay Pacific Airways side, I am worried about HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank still has the Song family. The Song family did not sell the equity a few days ago, but now two days have passed, I am worried..." Wade Shiyahuai did not go further, but the meaning has been expressed very clearly, and Norman Shiyahuai naturally understood it. He did not continue to speak, but acted. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the London company. Hong Kong time is more than ten o''clock in the evening, and London is still around three o''clock in the afternoon. His phone rang for a while and it was connected. He immediately asked: "Zack, has HSBC Holdings not given any news yet?" Sack is the general manager of the British Swire Group. Norman Shiyahuai had arranged for him to go to HSBC Holdings two days ago to acquire the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways. Although Shen Bi agreed to him, there is no news so far. He can only rely on his subordinates. "..." "Not yet? You should do this as soon as possible. You must determine as quickly as possible whether or not the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways is still in HSBC Holdings. Do you understand?" "..." After hanging up the phone, Norman Shi Yahuai frowned and thought again. Wade Shiyahuai asked: "Uncle, shall we go to Gals Liddell from Standard Chartered Bank and Song Bo from the Song family overnight?" "It''s ten twelve. Song Bo and Gals Liddell are likely to fall asleep. Are we going now?" Norman Shiya hesitated for a long time, but finally reason prevailed. "Forget it, it''s so late now. I don''t believe Xia Yu will find them tonight. If we don''t find them, then it won''t be too late for us to get up early tomorrow." "If the shares of the two of them have already been bought, it will be useless to go tonight. The only chance is HSBC." Wade Shi Yahuai nodded solemnly without speaking. For a while, the people in the living room became quiet, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air. And Boris Shi Yahuai, who was a little drunk after drinking, had already fully awakened from a series of explosive conversations between his father and cousin. It''s just that he has been unable to interject, nor dare to interject. But now, the solemn atmosphere seemed very depressing, making him uncomfortable. Moreover, he has always been an outsider, not to mention the situation, and his thinking is not restricted. He hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Father, Cathay Pacific is a HeungKong company. Why is the shareholding in HSBC in the UK? Why is HSBC doing such a troublesome thing?" Norman Shi Yahuai and Wade Shi Yahuai were awakened, and they both looked at Boris Shi Yahuai. Facing the gazes of his father and cousin, Boris Shiyahuai looked at him, thinking that he had made a mistake. Wade Shiyahuai, who knows more about the situation, shifted his gaze from his cousin to his uncle, and asked: "Uncle, I have considered this before. HSBC has not done such a thing before. Why did it this time? What about transferring equity?" "Is it really transferred? Or did Shen Bi lie to us?" Norman Shiya frowned, and subconsciously grasped the right hand on the arm of the sofa. At this special time, he couldn''t guarantee that what Shen Bi was saying was the truth. and! At that time, Shen Bi''s performance seemed a bit strange, he said a lot... Seeing his uncle Norman Shiyahuai''s face heavy and silent for a long time, Wade Shiyahuai was shocked, and his heart continued to sink. He opened his mouth and finally sighed. He did not continue to ask, because at this time, the uncle should be more aware of the seriousness of the matter than he. He had already begun to plan for the worse. If HSBC really sold the equity... If Standard Chartered Bank also sold the equity... If it''s the Song family... The total number of shares of the three companies has reached 49%! If you add the five percent that he transferred to Bao Yugang a few days ago... Thinking of this, Wade Shi Yahuai shuddered Goose bumps all over his body. He prayed secretly in his heart: "God bless, I hope all this is just my own guess!" For a long time, Norman Shiyahuai said solemnly: "Wade, rest early tonight, get up well, and get up at six tomorrow. You are responsible for finding Gals Liddell, and I will find Song Bo!" "The most important thing is to confirm that the equity has not changed!" "If it exists, buy 5% first! You can do it directly!" Wade Shi Yahuai nodded solemnly and replied brazenly: "Good uncle, I will wait for him to go out at his door tomorrow!" "Well, go and rest!" "Okay, uncle, you have to rest earlier, I''ll go home first." After speaking, Wade Shi Yahuai left the living room. Norman Shiyahuai looked at his young son Boris who was sitting quietly, smiled appreciatively and said, "Boris, you did a good job tonight." Boris Shiyahuai breathed a sigh of relief. Although very happy, he said modestly: "Father, this is what I should do." Norman Shiyahuai smiled and nodded, once again encouraged the youngest son, and then let him go to rest early. After the youngest son left, Norman Shiyahuai picked up the phone and made several calls, all of whom were his capable subordinates and clansmen in important positions. He has only one purpose, and that is to increase vigilance from tomorrow, and at the same time, strictly sort out the company''s assets and investigate unstable factors and risks. After all the calls, the thoughtful Norman Shiya got up and went to the window, looking out into the dark night sky through the glass window. For a long time, he said quietly: "War...may be coming..." PS: Ask for votes https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 995: Song Bo Early in the morning, Xia Yu was eating breakfast at home after finishing Tai Chi. At this moment, the phone at home rang. He took a sip of milk, then got up and walked to the phone, picked up casually and said, "This is Xia Mansion, who is it?" "Gals?" "What''s matter?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was only 8:02, which was not even time for work. Just when he was a little bit puzzled, Gals Liddell''s slightly hurried words came from the receiver, and his expression instantly became solemn. After Gals Liddell finished speaking, Xia Yu immediately said: "Gals, you try to hold Wade Shi Yahuai, and dispel his doubts as much as possible. After a long time, the equity certificate can be shown to him, but it must not Promise to sell it to him, understand?" "If there is any special situation, call my office the first time, someone will record the matter and notify me." "Okay, you go first!" "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and quickly analyzed. According to Gals Liddell''s report on the phone, Wade Shiyahuai visited him early in the morning, with a clear purpose, to acquire the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways held by Standard Chartered Bank. Gals Liddell reacted instantly. It should be the Shi Yahuai family who knew about Chairman Xia Yu''s plan to acquire Cathay Pacific, otherwise Wade Shi Yahuai would not be so anxious. So he used his bedroom phone to call Xia Yu''s home on the pretext of going back to the room to change clothes. Fortunately, Xia Yu happened to be at home, so he informed Xia Yu. After listening to Gals Liddell''s emergency report, Xia Yu was a little grateful. Fortunately, the 13% equity interest in Cathay Pacific held by Standard Chartered Bank was still in his hands, and he has not yet concentrated. If Wade Shiyahuai asked to see it, Gals Liddell could still find it, which could temporarily dispel Wade Shiyahuai''s doubts and buy him time. Although now that Shi Yahuai knew his plan, he could only gain a little bit of opportunity! "Since the Shi Yahuai family has approached Standard Chartered Bank, if I were Norman Shi Yahuai, I would definitely not miss the Song family and HSBC!" "It is estimated that Norman Shi Yahuai has either gone to Shen Bi''s house or Song''s house." "It''s just... how does Shi Yahuai''s family know about my plan? What''s wrong?" After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu couldn''t be sure. He picked up the phone, made a secret call, and the phone rang a few times before it was connected. Xia Yu didn¡¯t talk too much nonsense, and said directly: ¡°Uncle, help me closely monitor the whereabouts of key personnel such as the Shi Yahuai family, the Song family of the Taikoo Consortium, and Shen Bi. At the same time, help me investigate why the Shi Yahuai family knows that I am here. Acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways, act now, it¡¯s very urgent!" After speaking, after hearing a clear and decisive answer from the microphone, he hung up. At this moment, the graceful Li Qian came over, gently held Xia Yu''s hand, and asked softly: "A Yu, what happened, is it serious?" Xia Yu turned his head to look at Li Qian, his eyes softened, showing a gentle and gentle smile, and said softly: "The acquisition of Cathay Pacific Airways was an accident, but most of the plan has been completed. I will ask your brother to help me. Investigate it, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not a big deal." Li Qian nodded obediently and didn''t ask more. Since Xia Yu said it was okay, she believed Xia Yu could solve it easily. ... Song family mansion. Norman Shi Yahuai was frustrated by Song Bo''s rejection and shirk again and again. He took a deep look at Song Bo, who was still kind, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Song, the equity is in your hands. You have the right to choose, but I hope you can consider it carefully. Years, without the Shi Yahuai family, there would be no Song family now." "For decades, the Song family and the Shi Yahuai family have been closely linked, and I don''t want to see a crack in our friendship." Song Bo looked solemn and nodded his head with approval: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, what you said is very reasonable. I know this very well, so Xia Yu came to buy equity from me before. No matter what he said, I didn''t sell it. he." "The reason why I didn''t tell you is because Swire Airlines has always held more than 50% of Cathay Pacific''s shares. If I don''t say anything, it won''t matter. Xia Yu can''t turn the sky over." "And to be honest, Xia Yu also threatened me, and I thought, since I didn''t sell the equity to him, it won''t have any impact on the company and you, then there is no need to cause trouble." "Mr. Shi Yahuai, I think you should understand my concerns, after all, Xia Yu is not well-known." Norman Shiyahuai was still annoyed in his heart, but he couldn''t vent it out, and he was panicked. He can''t tell Song Bo that Taikoo Airlines'' shareholding ratio is already less than 50%, right? If it is stated clearly, then he will be untenable, unable to strongly accuse and oppress Song Bo. Can your own pot be deducted from others? Norman Shiyahuai suddenly got up and said to Song Bo before leaving: "Mr. Song, I don¡¯t say so much about other things. I have already said very clearly. I hope you can remember a little, Song The fate of the family has been tied to the Taikoo Consortium!" "I hope you will think carefully and give me good news at nine tomorrow morning!" After speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai left with emotion. Song Bo, who was also emotional, did not send Norman Shi Yahuai out, but just got up and watched. After hearing the sound of the car engine fade away. "boom!" Song Bo''s face was gloomy, and he slapped his slap heavily on the tea table, making a loud noise, which shocked the housekeeper and his second son Song Zhicheng. "Master, are your hands okay?" The housekeeper Song Liang asked nervously. "Dad, you calm down, your body matters!" Song Zhicheng said with concern. Song Bo did not answer, and asked with a dark face, "Where is the third child?" Song Zhicheng didn¡¯t know where his half-brother was. He looked at the housekeeper Song Liang. Maybe Song Liang should know. After all, the bodyguards Song Zhiming took with him had to report his whereabouts to the home security system every few hours. . Song Liang immediately replied respectfully: "Master, Azhong has reported to his family in the morning that the third young master is in the villa by the sea, and he shouldn''t get up yet." Song Bo coldly snorted: "This rebellious son has caused such a big trouble for the family, but he hasn''t slept heartily, Aliang, you immediately notify the bodyguard and bring him back to me! If he hasn''t sobered up yet, drag him back. I drag it back!" "Except for wearing clothes, don''t do anything else, bring it back immediately!" Butler Song Liang''s heart stunned, knowing that the third young master was going to be sad, he respectfully said: "Understand, I will arrange it now." After speaking, he quickly left the living room. Song Zhicheng hurriedly poured a cup of tea for his father, held it in front of his father with both hands, and said softly: "Dad, calm down, things are already like this, it''s not worth it to get angry and body." Song Bo glanced at his second son, his face was slightly slow, took a sip of the tea, took a sip, took a few deep breaths, sighed and said: "The youngest is not good enough to fail, but he is not capable, but his bad habits have caused a lot of trouble. I blame me. He said that he should not agree to let him study abroad at the beginning, he is considered useless!" "If the third child has one-tenth of your ability, he won''t cause such a big trouble for the family!" "Sooner or later I will be angry with him!" Song Zhicheng was secretly happy in his heart, but with a humble expression on his face, he pretended to say: "Dad, I don''t think the third brother himself would like this, he should have his problems." "Dad, let''s not talk about the third brother. Let''s talk about business matters first. Norman Shi Yahuai only left us one day." Song Bo picked up the teacup and took a sharp sip of the cold tea. He took a deep breath to calm his mood as much as possible. He thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Norman Shiyahuai has spoken outright and even threatening just now. He is so urgent, it should be a major problem with Swire''s control of Cathay Pacific." "Otherwise, with the previous shareholding structure, he would not ask me for it." Song Zhicheng nodded with approval and said: "I think so, and the equity is most likely in Xia Yu''s hands." Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and said in a puzzled manner: "It''s just that I can''t figure out what the **** is Norman Shi Yahuai who made the mistake, and will sell the equity to Xia Yu. After all, Cathay Pacific Airways is not listed. ." Song Bo sneered: "Only they know the matter, but the key issue still lies with the Shi Yahuai family. Now they are coming to force us, which is simply deceiving." Song Zhicheng pursed his mouth and said with a sad expression: "Dad, should we sell the equity to Norman Shi Yahuai?" "Although he has a very bad attitude, there is a saying that is right. Our Song family has a deep connection with their family!" "If you offend him, then our life will be difficult in the future..." Song Bo asked back: "If Xia Yu is offended and killed, our life will be better?" Song Zhicheng was speechless for a moment, his heart was a little suffocated, and his fists clenched subconsciously. Song Bo was depressed and coldly taught his second son: "Weakness is the original sin!" "When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven!" "If we are strong, even if we are caught between the Shi Yahuai family and Xia Yu, we can care about no one!" "Acheng, you have to remember, rely on the sky and the earth, and only your own fist is the most important thing." Song Zhicheng nodded heavily and said, "Dad, I remember it!" ... When Song Bo and Song Zhicheng and his son were closely discussing countermeasures, the roar of the car''s engine came from outside the house. Not long after the sound stopped, Song Liang, the housekeeper, with his face still a little swollen, and Song Zhiming, who was obviously not awake, walked in. "Dad, is there anything you want to do with me?" Song Zhiming blinked his eyes to make himself more awake, and asked. He was confused now. He was sleeping comfortably, so he was called out by the bodyguard Azhong, but he just got dressed, and was pushed into the car and hurried home before he could wash himself. Just now after he got off the car, he seized the opportunity to ask the housekeeper Liangshu, but he didn''t get any useful information. Liangshu only said that his father Song Bo was looking for him and reminded him to be more correct. Seeing Song Zhiming''s frustration, Song Bo, who had already put the fire down, became angry again. His eyes were wide and he stared at Song Zhiming furiously, and said angrily: "Nizi, kneel down!" Song Zhiming was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground with a look of horror on his face, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Dad, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Seeing Song Zhiming''s awkwardness, Song Bo was even more angry. He sneered and asked, "You still know that you are confessing your mistakes. Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" Song Zhiming was dumbfounded. He lowered his head for a moment and raised his head carefully and said, "I didn''t come back to sleep at home last night. I didn''t listen to your teachings." Song Zhicheng, who was listening, closed his eyes silently. My half-brother is too weak to see, and now he is still sneaking and raping, and answering that he doesn''t know is better than this answer. Sure enough, Song Bo was trembling with anger, suddenly got up, walked in front of Song Zhiming, slapped him on the face in his bewilderment, making a crisp sound. "Snapped!" "what!" Song Zhiming wailed, covering his face with both hands, the pain made him completely awake. He looked at his father in disbelief, and said angrily: "Dad What did I do wrong, you hit me like this?" Song Bohu glared and shouted: "Are you still feeling wronged? Did you drink with Norman Shi Yahuai''s youngest son last night? Did you tell him that Xia Yu came home and wanted to buy Cathay Pacific Airways? The company''s equity?" "You did this, right?" The furious appearance of his father made Song Zhiming even more frightened. He immediately shook his head and denied it: "Dad, I haven''t said it. It must be someone who is slandering me. You have to believe me." Seeing Song Zhiming still refusing to admit it, Song Bo raised his hand and tried to slap him in the face, so that Song Zhiming immediately got up and hid. Song Zhicheng couldn¡¯t see it anymore, and said to Song Zhiming, ¡°Third brother, you honestly admit your mistakes. Norman Shi Yahuai just came home. He told his dad himself that you told Boris Shi Yahuai about it last night. Boris Shiyahuai went home to inform him!" Song Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then he was guilty of looking at his father Song Bo, and he dared not quibble with his face. at this time. "Ring Ling Ling..." The phone rang quickly. Everyone in the living room was immediately attracted by the phone on the table. Seeing his father frown, Song Zhicheng shook his head at the housekeeper Liangshu, got up and walked over and connected the phone. "This is Song Mansion, who is it?" When I just asked me this sentence, a voice over the phone made Song Zhicheng''s expression change drastically. He immediately covered the receiver and whispered to his father, "Dad, it''s Xia Yu!" Song Bo''s expression changed, and he ignored Song Zhiming''s lesson. He walked quickly to the phone and signaled his second son Song Zhicheng to continue answering the phone. PS: The update is late, ask for a ticket, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 996: Strong and domineering "Are you ready to come now?" "..." "Okay, you are welcome!" "Beep...beep...beep..." Song Bo frowned when he saw his son just briefly said a few words, and then a busy tone came on the phone. Song Zhicheng became even more confused. Xia Yu didn''t give him the opportunity to refuse. He directly said that he would visit their home and hung up the phone without waiting for him to ask anything. This is completely forcibly visited! Xia Yu''s aggressive behavior made Song Zhicheng feel a little hairy. He couldn''t help but immediately said to his father Song Bo: "Dad, Xia Yu just told us that he is leaving for our house now. He didn''t say anything or gave me a chance to ask, so he just hung up." "It must be for Cathay Pacific''s equity." Song Bo nodded solemnly and said, "Except for this, he has no other purpose." "It''s just that as soon as Norman Shi Yahuai left with his front foot, he came with his back foot. It is very likely that Norman Shi Yahuai or our house was monitored!" Hearing his father''s words, Song Zhicheng shook his whole body and looked around like a reflex, then walked to the window and looked out the window, hoping to find the suspicious surveillance personnel. On the contrary, Song Bo remained calm and sighed and said: "Second, don''t look for it. If he really monitors our house, we will definitely not find it now." "And think about it, it''s more likely to be tracking and monitoring Norman Shiyahuai." Song Zhicheng walked back with some regret, and said solemnly to his father: "Dad, it seems that Norman Shi Yahuai is completely passive. Xia Yu is determined to win Cathay Pacific!" "He''ll be here soon. If he buys us shares of Cathay Pacific again, what should we do?" "After all, it has been many days since the last time. A few days ago, he called you again. This is the third time..." Song Zhicheng didn''t say the rest, but the meaning has been clearly expressed, and Song Bo can understand. The ancients said that everything can be repeated, not repeated. Once and twice, I tried Tai Chi to shirk off, and I was able to get along. But if it was the third time, it would be an insult and would definitely offend Xia Yu. It''s no use even if he says all his good things! Song Bo frowned and was silent. Song Zhicheng looked at his third brother Song Zhiming, who was holding his face and grinning. He hesitated for a moment and said: "And Dad, for the first time, we promised Xia Yu not to leak it. Now the third brother has leaked the matter out. If Xia Yu knows, then we are at a loss..." Song Bo looked at his third son Song Zhiming, his eyes were very cold, and his breathing became louder. He took a deep breath to keep his mood calm, and said to Song Zhicheng: "It shouldn''t be known to Xia Yu. This incident should have never happened. If he asks, he will kill it, unless..." Except for anything, Song Bo didn''t say anything, because when it comes to this, he has no bottom. After all, if Xia Yu really followed Norman Shi Yahuai, and even the entire Shi Yahuai family, then it would still be possible to know the truth. He could only secretly pray from the bottom of his heart that Xia Yu''s intelligence ability was not so strong! Song Bo looked at his third son Song Zhiming again and snorted coldly: "Nizi, you can go upstairs for me now, and reflect on it. You are not allowed to come out without my approval!" "Yes!" Song Zhiming responded in a low voice, and then went upstairs with his face in a desperate manner. "Aliang, tidy up and prepare things for the treat again." "Good lord!" ... Twenty minutes later, Song Bo heard the roar of the car engine again. After a while, Song Liang walked in with Xia Yu, and Song Bo and his son stood up to greet him. "Master Song, I''m really forced to make trouble so early. Please forgive me!" Xia Yu smiled and pleaded guilty as soon as they met. Song Bo''s heart sank, but he hurriedly squeezed a smile on his face, and said quickly: "Mr. Xia said this, you can come to my house because you can look down on someone from Song, so forgive me." "Sit down, please!" "Aliang, make tea!" Song Bo greeted Xia Yu to sit down on the sofa, and then ordered the housekeeper to make tea. After a while, the tea was ready. Song Liang brought the tea cup with tea to the table in front of Xia Yu and put it down, politely said: "Mr. Xia, please use tea!" "Thank you!" Although thanking him, Chashu Xia Yu did not touch him. Instead, he smiled at Song Bo and went straight to the subject and asked: "Master Song, what happened last time, how have you been thinking about it in the past so many days?" Song Bo struck a haha ??and said with a helpless expression: "Mr. Xia, this kind of thing affects the whole body after all, I have to be cautious and cautious. I haven''t considered it yet, I''m really sorry." Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said non-committal: "I''m afraid that what Mr. Song said is not the truth?" Song Bo''s face sank and frowned, "What do you mean by Mr. Xia''s words? Isn''t it that in the eyes of Mr. Xia, I''m someone Song who can''t be a man like this?" Xia Yu shook his head slightly, and said pointedly: "I didn''t mean that. Mr. Song is well-known, so I naturally believe it." "It''s just that if some things are not explained, it is easy to cause misunderstanding!" Song Bo''s pupils shrank, secretly trouble came. However, with a trace of luck, he calmly asked: "Mr. Xia, you also know that sometimes seeing is not necessarily true, so it is necessary to communicate. If you think I am doing something wrong, just point it out." Xia Yu suddenly raised her volume and applauded decisively, "Okay, since Mr. Song said that, then I will be a villain again." "Mr. Song, you promised me before that I won''t disclose my acquisition of Cathay Pacific''s equity from you, right?" Song Bo''s heart suddenly sank to the bottom, but he still didn''t want to take the initiative to admit it, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I did not leak the news." Xia Yu smiled, looked at Song Bo calmly, and said faintly: "You haven''t revealed it, but Song Zhiming is your son. He has revealed the news. You can''t tell you it''s okay, right?" Seeing Song Bo''s ugly face, as if he wanted to explain, Xia Yu''s next few words directly blocked Song Bo''s retreat. "It is precisely because he leaked the news and directly let the Shi Yahuai family know that the Shi Yahuai family will visit you early this morning before I come. The purpose is also Cathay Pacific''s equity, right?" "Not only that, the Shi Yahuai family also rushed out and found other people, such as the chairman of HSBC Bank Shen Bi, and the chairman of Standard Chartered Bank, Gals Liddell." "You said, does this affect me much?" Xia Yu absolutely monitored the Shi Yahuai family! Song Bo was shocked and thought secretly, shocked by Xia Yu''s intelligence ability. But he is sober, knowing that this is not the time for shock. How to recover and deal with Xia Yu is the first problem. He put on a distressed look, and said apologetically: "Mr. Xia, I blame my godson for nothing. This kind of thing is definitely not what I want to see. I am very sorry for the trouble caused to you!" Xia Yu smiled and said bluntly: "Something has happened, and apology is no longer useful. The key is to see how to solve it. The only way to solve the trouble, Mr. Song should understand." "It''s still at the original price, 660 million Hong Kong dollars. You will transfer your 16% of the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways to me." Song Bo frowned, like sitting on pins and needles. Even though Xia Yu''s performance is relatively strong now, after all, he had the fault first, so his attitude could not be hardened. I can¡¯t say rejection, nor can I say yes, he has been pushed to the edge of the cliff. For a long time, Song Bo did not answer Xia Yu''s words directly, but said tactfully: "Mr. Xia, the Shi Yahuai family has a strict control of Cathay Pacific Airways. Our Song family holds a small percentage of shares. Even if you buy what I own Equity can''t pose a threat to the Shi Yahuai family. Why do you have to enter this market?" Xia Yu sneered and said: "Mr. Song, you have taken too much of the Shi Yahuai family. I said before that the times are different. It is not the 1960s and 1970s. Now British capital has declined, and Chinese capital is booming. " "To put it mildly, Shi Yahuai''s family is also a paper tiger. The reason why it has been scary is because no one wants to pierce it." "But if others don''t want to do it, I will do it." "Now I am still very restrained, but I can''t say what will happen in the future, because the choice is not with me, but with the Shi Yahuai family." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, took a deep look at Song Bo, and said meaningfully: "There are also the results of the choices of people close to Shi Yahuai''s family!" "Mr. Song, although I am not old, I still have some experience. You might as well listen to it. If it feels unpleasant, treat it as a joke." Song Bo nodded blankly, and said concisely, "Please speak!" Xia Yu said indifferently: "Strategic choice is more important than execution Only when you choose the right direction, execution has value and can get good results." "If you choose the wrong direction and work hard, you will only go further and further on the road leading to the abyss, until you are completely plunged into the abyss of darkness!" "Mr. Song, do you think these two sentences are correct?" Song Bo''s expression was a little stiff, and he did not answer, saying that he was out of breath, it was definitely a lie. After all, a man in his sixties was threatened by a young man with a grandchild, which greatly hurt his self-esteem. But personal honor and disgrace are trivial matters in the face of family heritage and interests, and he can resist it! Nearly an hour ago, Norman Shiyahuai threatened him, he could bear it! And now, Xia Yu also threatened him, and he could bear it! Both are threats, the key is which one is more threatening? Which one can cause greater evil? Combining the existing information, after quickly weighing the pros and cons in Song Bo''s mind, the balance in his mind is slightly inclined to Xia Yu, but not much, just a trace. Xia Yu picked up the tea cup and drank the tea quietly, keeping his eyes on Song Bo, and didn''t even look at Song Zhicheng, who was clenched with his fist. He still has some patience. It''s only past nine o''clock now, and there are more than two hours before the end of the morning. Anyway, if he comes today, there must be a result, for better or worse! At most more than two hours, enough time for Song Bo to choose! Time ticked ticked away... For a long time, Song Bo looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and asked a very crucial question in a deep voice... ps: A chapter was written for 2 hours and 44 minutes. It should be quite reasonable to simulate the conversation scene between the big guys back and forth in my mind. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 997: Songs Choice "Mr. Xia, can you tell me, how many shares do you hold in Cathay Pacific Airways?" Xia Yu''s eyes shimmered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He said frankly: "Since the plan has been leaked, it''s okay to tell you. Now I have acquired 38% of Cathay Pacific''s equity!" Song Bo''s eyes widened, and he looked at Xia Yu in disbelief. Xia Yu unexpectedly acquired so many shares without knowing it. Had it not been for his son to leak the news, it is estimated that the Shi Yahuai family would not know that Xia Yu was acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways! And, more importantly. Where did Xia Yu''s 38% equity come from? An idea flashed through Song Bo''s mind. Combined with Cathay Pacific''s shareholding structure, he was even more shocked. He asked in a confident but incredulous tone: "Mr. Xia, the shares of HSBC and Standard Chartered have been sold to you?" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and Feng Qingyun nodded and said, "Yes, besides that, Swire Airlines also sold me 5% of the equity." Song Bo blurted out, "How could Shi Yahuai''s family do such a thing?" Xia Yu smiled and said with a sneer: "But the facts are on the bright side, they really did this kind of thing!" "Now I have a veto right!" "Mr. Song, do you think that with Norman Shi Yahuai''s IQ, I can be my opponent?" Song Bo was silent, but he was disappointed in Norman Shi Yahuai. Is Norman Shiyahuai a pig brain? The equity in his hands can be flowed out, so that he loses control of Cathay Pacific Airways. Now I know that I am afraid, and want to make up for it, and block the door early in the morning and threaten him, wanting to buy equity from him. At this level, can you really beat Xia Yu? Song Bo had no idea. Soon after, he thought of more. Now Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity is actually distributed in the hands of their Song family, Shi Yahuai family and Xia Yu. Swire Airlines originally held 51% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity, but now it has transferred 5% to Xia Yu, so it only holds 46% of the equity. As long as he transfers even 4.1% to Norman Shiyahuai, then Swire Airways will regain control of Cathay Pacific. Xia Yu holds 38% of the shares. If they get 16% of the shares of the Song family, they will be able to increase the shareholding ratio to 54%, gaining basic support for Cathay Pacific. Control. So to whom he holds the equity, he can get the ultimate victory. This is an overwhelming bargaining chip, the importance is self-evident! But the more important it became, the more bitter Song Bo felt. This is forcing him to stand in line! Catering to one party will make the other party more ruthless. Seeing Song Bo''s expression of bitterness and silence for a long time, Xia Yu was able to guess his general thoughts. He thought for a while and decided to seize the opportunity and start another fire. Xia Yu said with a smile, "Mr. Song, do you want to know two more news?" Song Bo was stunned and realized that these two news might not mean that he was willing to hear good news, but in this critical period, only more information could enable him to make a more correct judgment. So he squeezed a stiff smile, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, please speak." Xia Yu said indifferently: ¡°Swire Airlines also transferred 11.5% of the shares of Heung Kong Airport Ground Service Company and part of the shares of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company to me.¡± "Now I already hold 66.5% of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company and more than 43% of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company!" Boom... Xia Yu''s light and fluttering words fell into Song Bo''s ears like thunder. He was shocked again. Then he shook his head with a wry smile. He has nothing to say about Norman Shi Yahuai. Fortunately, he is still the owner of the Swire Consortium, and he has lessons learned from the Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Consortium. He has talked more than once during the party to be more vigilant and avoid entering In the footsteps of the Jardine Foundation. But is this strengthening of vigilance? Taking the initiative to give out equity is called vigilance? Norman Shi Yahuai''s poor performance reflects Xia Yu''s shrewdness and ability. At this moment, he admired Xia Yu''s clever means for being able to secretly acquire this step. No one in Xiangjiang could do this! No wonder it can be victorious in the capital market! If he fell to the Shi Yahuai family this time, can he defend Xia Yu based on the situation of the Taikoo consortium? After avoiding it once, what if Xia Yu targets Taikoo ships next time? If Xia Yu stared at their Song family and was stared at by a big crocodile like Xia Yu, would their Song family also be eaten? Xia Yu is still so young, if they have been staring at the Taikoo Consortium and their Song family for many years, can they still let go of their hands and feet to develop? ... A series of questions surfaced in Song Bo''s mind. He could get an answer to every question through subjective judgment, but every answer he got left him speechless. The balance in Song Bo''s heart kept tilting towards Xia Yu. Until... A firmness flashed in Song Bo''s eyes, which happened to be caught by Xia Yu. When Xia Yu concentrated, he saw Song Bo staring at him and sent out a crucial question: "Mr. Xia, if I sell the equity to you, how can you guarantee the interests of our Song family?" "Our Song family was retaliated by Shi Yahuai''s family, what would you do?" "Who should make up for the losses that the Shi Yahuai family caused to our Song family?" Xia Yu smiled, he knew that the equity was basically obtained. As long as Song Bo¡¯s doubts are dispelled, the duck that is about to reach its mouth will not be able to fly! Song Bo''s promise, he just gave it! Xia Yu leaned forward slightly, and solemnly promised: "Mr. Song, you sold me the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways, and you are my friend. Xia Yu is fierce to the enemy, but I can stab at my friends." "If the Shi Yahuai family retaliates against the Song family for this, as long as you say something old, I will help you, even if it is a full-scale war with the Swire Consortium!" "Once the war begins, you can refer to the Jardine Foundation for the fate of the Swire Consortium. How much benefit the Song family can get depends on your own strength. You can also ask me for necessary help. As long as I can do it, I will never shirk!" "Not only that, the Song family can also cooperate with me in all aspects. With the size of my Jiuding Group, you won''t suffer a loss!" "These words will be valid forever if they are out of my mouth, unless the Song family takes the initiative to part ways with me!" Xia Yu''s words were sonorous and powerful. Song Zhicheng, who listened quietly, looked at his father frequently, wanting to know his choice. Song Bo and Xia Yu looked at each other for a few seconds, and then decisively said: "Well, since Mr. Xia is so proud, the future of the hundreds of people in my Song family is tied to you!" "I think I didn''t make a wrong choice!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "You have always been wise, this choice is extremely wise!" With that, Xia Yu got up and stretched out his hand to Song Bo. Song Bo also got up, holding his old hand tightly with Xia Yu. After sitting down again, Song Bo turned his head to Song Zhicheng and said, "Second, go to my room, open the safe, and take out the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways in it!" "Ok!" Song Zhicheng got up suddenly and walked quickly towards the stairs. Song Bo looked at Xia Yu again and said, "Mr. Xia, if you want to trade immediately, I have a phone number here, and you will let your people come over." Of course Xia Yu would not refuse. He smiled and replied: "Okay!" After speaking, he got up and went to the phone, dialed the number of Wang Qi''s office, and asked him to bring the contract acquisition team to Song''s house immediately and reported the detailed address of Song''s house to him. After Xia Yu finished calling, Song Bo also made a call, also calling his own people over. Soon, Song Zhicheng came down from the stairs and proved his equity to Song Bo. Song Bo transferred it to Xia Yu to see that it was exactly 16% of Cathay Pacific''s equity. In the following time, both Xia Yu and Song Bo took the initiative to look for topics, and the atmosphere of the chat became more harmonious. Ten minutes later, Song Bo''s people came first, and then five or six minutes later, Xia Yu''s people also came. The two parties quickly prepared the contract according to Song Bo and Xia Yu''s requirements. The price has not changed, and the price quoted by Xia Yu before, which is 660 million Hong Kong dollars. After signing the contract, Xia Yu and Song Bo went to Jiuding Bank together. To show his heart, Song Bo asked Xia Yu to transfer the money to the Song''s account at Jiuding Bank. After the funds are confirmed, the transaction is fully completed. In the Super VIP customer reception room of Jiuding Bank, there was a pleasant laugh. Song Bo shook hands with Xia Yu and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I hope you will take care of you in the future!" Xia Yu waved his hand and said modestly: "I dare not take care of it. Take care of each other." "Mr. Song, if there is anything useful to me, just speak up." After speaking, Xia Yu said to Liu Tianci, who was smiling on the side: "God, if the Song family needs funds in the future, they can relax a little. After all, they are his own." Anyway, it''s just the scene, it doesn''t hurt to speak more openly. Liu Tianci nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, Chairman!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Song Bo and said, "Mr. Song, please take care of you in the future!" Jiuding Bank is one of the gods of wealth in the eyes of major companies in Hong Kong, and Song Bo is of course willing to deepen relations with Jiuding Bank. He laughed, shook hands with Liu Tianci heavily, and said, "Mr. Liu, after that, if I have anything to do, I will come over and ask for a cup of tea." Liu Tianci said humbly: "Don''t dare to be, you are always welcome!" Then Song Bo looked at Xia Yu again and said goodbye to him: "Mr. Xia, I have to go back to clear the assets in the Taikoo consortium and be prepared. The time is urgent, so I will leave first!" Xia Yu nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Okay, what I said at your home will be valid forever. If there is an emergency, just come to me." "Ok!" ... After Song Bo left, Xia Yu smiled, looked at Liu Tianci, and ordered: "God, keep an eye on the assets of the Swire Consortium and Shi Yahuai''s family. Next, I will start the second phase of Cathay Pacific''s acquisition. If Shi Yahuai''s family does not You can only use other means if you are acquainted!" Liu Tianci''s heart shuddered, and he replied decisively: "Yes!" PS: Ask for votes https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 998: No more hidden! Attack! June 14. Norman Shi Yahuai did not go to the company after eating breakfast, so he sat on the sofa in the living room at home, drinking tea and reading the newspaper. He checked the time on his watch from time to time. He was waiting for Song Bo''s reply. Yesterday he had already told Song Bo before he left, and he will have an answer before nine o''clock today. But as time passed, Song Bo''s phone call was not seen, his expression gradually became serious, his mood began to fluctuate, and he could no longer calm down. And the nephew Wade Shiyahuai, who was next to him, couldn''t sit still even more worried, got up and paced back and forth. After seeing the second turn of the clock, and seeing that the minute hand finally settled at 12, and the hour hand just pointed to the number 9, Wade Shiyahuai looked very ugly and suddenly looked at his uncle. But he saw that his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai had already closed his eyes relentlessly. He hurriedly said solemnly: "Uncle, it looks like that **** Song Bo has betrayed us!" Norman Shi Yahuai still closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, trying his best to calm the fluctuating mood. Suddenly! Norman Shi Yahuai opened his eyes, his eyes sharp as a knife, without a trace of turbidity. He snorted coldly and said, "Wade, you call Song''s house now!" Wade Shiyahuai nodded, walked to the phone, and dialed the number in the phone book. "Hey, this is Song Mansion, who is it?" "This is Wade Shi Yahuai, let Song Bo answer the phone!" Wade Shi Yahuai, who was upset when he heard the call from the housekeeper of Song Mansion, was not at all polite, and directly named Song Bo''s name. After waiting for more than a minute, he finally changed the phone number Song Bo answered. Song Bo only said a few words, and Wade Shi Yahuai directly asked: "Mr. Song, at what price do you intend to sell the shares of Cathay Pacific to us?" "¡­¡­you sure?" "You have sold the equity to Xia Yu, right... The Song family will fall because of your wrong decision..." "Patter!" Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Wade Shi Yahuai realized that Song Bo had taken the initiative to hang up his phone, and he was even more furious, who was already angry. Then angrily walked towards his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai. Although he did not listen to the phone, Norman Shi Yahuai knew the result from his nephew''s actions and words. Wade Shi Yahuai said angrily, "Uncle, Song Bo refused to sell us the equity. I asked him if he had sold the equity to Xia Yu. He did not admit it, but he did not deny it. He must be so. Done!" "Our dog has started to bite its owner!" "Uncle, we must not let the Song family go!" "If the Song family does not pay the price, our family''s face will be lost, and it will be impossible to maintain our family''s power!" Norman Shi Yahuai was also very angry, but he did not lose his mind and was able to prioritize. The top priority now is to keep Cathay Pacific Airways. Only if Cathay Pacific Airways was kept, even if Xia Yu acquired the equity of the Song family, he would still fail. Even if Xia Yu had penetrated strongly, they did not lose their resistance. He said in a deep voice: "Wade, Song Bo has to pay the price, but this can be left behind and wait for us to free up." "The most important thing now is to fight out the robber Xia Yu and keep our company, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and it is impossible to suppress the Song family!" Hearing what his uncle said, Wade Shiyahuai had to take a deep breath of air pressure to restrain the anger in his heart. He hurriedly said: "Uncle, what we still have hope for now is Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. Is there no news from Sack?" Norman Shi Yahuai''s face was sinking, and he shook his head and said, "No news yet." Wade Shiyahuai looked worried, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Uncle, I am worried that HSBC may sell the shares. Although Shen Bi is only the chairman of HSBC, HSBC is extremely important for HSBC Holdings. The branch, if Shen Bi is willing, can take back the equity of Cathay Pacific from the parent company. Shen Bi¡¯s attitude is perfunctory, which is very abnormal. Shen Bi has never done this to us before!" Norman Shi Yahuai''s expression became more solemn. Hasn''t he thought about it this way? Because of this, he asked Shen Bi to inquire, and on the other hand, he asked his capable subordinates to go directly to HSBC Holdings. Norman Shiyahuai shook his head and sighed: ¡°Sack told me that HSBC Holdings¡¯ attitude is not positive, and the possibility of not wanting to sell is very low. It is very likely that it has been sold secretly. Due to confidentiality terms, I don¡¯t want to let it. We know the real situation." After finishing speaking, he didn''t wait for Wade Shiyahuai to speak, and asked: "What''s the situation on Standard Chartered Bank? Gals Liddell still refuses to sell?" Wade Shiyahuai shook his head bitterly, and said helplessly: "Always disagree, even if I have twice the premium, he still does not let go. The price is still my unilateral price, and he will not negotiate the price with me at all. None of the thresholds went in." "But at five o''clock yesterday afternoon, the shares of Cathay Pacific were still in the hands of Standard Chartered Bank. I don''t know what happened today!" "Gals Liddell¡¯s approach is too strange. I asked the think tank to analyze it last night and came to a highly likely conclusion that Standard Chartered Bank has reached a secret agreement with Xia Yu. It is only held by Standard Chartered Bank!" "After all, Xia Yu has found the Song family. There is no reason not to find Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. There is no reason that neither Gals Liddell nor Shen Bi admits that anyone wants to buy shares in Cathay Pacific Airways!" Norman Shiyahuai was silent for a long time, suddenly got up, and said to Wade Shiyahuai: "Wade, you go to Swire Airlines to stay and keep an eye on the movements of various companies at any time. I will go to Standard Chartered Bank!" Wade Shiyahuai nodded and replied, "Okay, uncle." ... Standard Chartered Bank, Chairman''s Office. Norman Shiyahuai''s face was bruised, his eyes staring at the calm-faced Gals Liddell, and he asked: "President Liddell, Wade called you yesterday. If you want to buy equity, you didn¡¯t sell it. In one night, you sold Cathay Pacific''s equity?" Gals Liddell spread his hands and replied calmly: "It was indeed sold. Before last night, I did not intend to sell the equity, but the matter was not absolute. To be honest, when I think about it this morning, I still feel a little dream." Norman Shiya trembled with eyebrows. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and asked: "President Liddell, you sold the shares of Cathay Pacific to Xia Yu, didn''t you?" Gals Liddell said apologetically: "Please forgive me for not being able to say this. I can''t tell you who it is, because I have signed an agreement to keep it confidential for half a month. You can only find a way to get information from other people. " Although Gals Liddell said so, Norman Shi Yahuai has already determined that he is Xia Yu! He stared straight at Gals Liddell, and asked in a cold voice: "Well, since you don¡¯t want to say that, with our many years of friendship, you must let me understand why you would rather use Cathay Pacific¡¯s Selling equity to others instead of us?" Gals Liddell was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Mr. Shi Yahuai, I can only tell you that the Shi Yahuai family cannot give Standard Chartered Bank. For the benefit of the bank, I cannot refuse, even if your premium is twice the premium. on!" Norman Shiya smiled with anger, grief and regret mixed in his laughter. Finally, Gals Liddell could no longer remain calm, and his complexion persuaded: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, I know more things than you, but due to reality, I cannot tell you all, but from the perspective of a friend, I I suggest you give up Cathay Pacific Airways. This is the best choice." It''s okay if Gals Liddell didn''t say it. His words made Norman Shiyahuai feel abnormally harsh, but it made him even more disgusted. He took a deep look at Gals Liddell and sneered: "Friend, heh!" After speaking, he walked directly to the door. Norman Shiyahuai wanted to speak harshly, but due to the relationship between the Swire Consortium and Standard Chartered Bank, his effort to speak will only make him suffer Regardless of the Swire Consortium held by Standard Chartered Bank The company¡¯s equity, or its loan and business relationships with various companies, are destined for Standard Chartered Bank to be relatively stronger. Norman Shiyahuai has secretly decided that as long as he weathers the crisis, he will start to transfer assets, find a domestic bank in the UK to replace Standard Chartered Bank, and step by step to dissolve various relations with Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered Bank is unreliable! Gals Liddell didn''t get up, quietly watching Norman Shiyahuai swing his sleeves away. Then, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. Soon there was Xia Yu¡¯s voice over the microphone. He hurriedly reported: "Chairman, Norman Shi Yahuai has just left from me. I have already told him that the equity It was transferred, but it didn¡¯t say who it was transferred to, but from his appearance, he believed it was you...I also persuaded him, but according to his appearance, I don¡¯t plan to give up for the time being..." "The plan has already begun? Okay, I''m ready here..." After hanging up the phone, Gals Liddell''s mouth curled up and said to himself: "Norman Shiyahuai, if you resist, then I believe you will usher in one surprise after another..." ... After Norman Shiyahuai left Standard Chartered angrily, he immediately drove to Swire Airlines. He has a bad feeling in his heart. Gals Liddell did not hide the fact of the equity transfer, so the side shows that the enemy has enough confidence that the frontal struggle is about to begin. When Norman Shiyahuai came to Swire Airlines, an employee immediately ran over to report to him. Norman Shi Yahuai''s expression changed on the spot, and then he walked into the elevator quickly. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 999: Dominant and high-profile 9Ding Securities When Norman Shiyahuai came to the door of the small meeting room under the leadership of the employees, he knocked on the door, then unscrewed the lock and pushed the door directly. The two groups who were talking intensely in the small meeting room immediately stopped talking, Qi Qi looked at the door where Norman Shi Yahuai was. Norman Shi Yahuai also saw all the scenes inside. When I saw the face of the man standing opposite the red-faced nephew Wade Shiyahuai, it was Norman Shiyahuai who was old and heavy, and his face changed slightly. Because that person was a well-known figure in Xiangjiang, and Xia Yu''s capable man was also the wolf that Xia Yu raised in his eyes-Wang Qi, general manager of Jiuding Securities Company! Next to him, there was a young man and a few middle-aged people, he just glanced and ignored them. The silence of the three parties was only a momentary thing. Norman Shi Yahuai immediately recovered, and while walking towards Wade Shi Yahuai, he asked without expression, "Mr. Wang Qi, is there any purpose in coming to my company today?" " As soon as his words came out, his indifferent and unwelcome attitude was undoubtedly revealed. Wang Qi didn¡¯t care. He smiled faintly, shook his horse, and said brightly: ¡°Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai, my purpose is very clear today, that is, I hope to be able to acquire Swire Airlines wholly. The tender offer has been handed over to you. Nephew, Mr. Wade Shiyahuai!" With that, Wang Qi gestured to Norman Shi Yahuai and looked at the document at Wade Shi Yahuai''s desk. Norman Shi Yahuai just glanced blankly, not interested in picking it up and opening it. He then sat down with a golden sword in Malaysia, and outrageously refused: "The equity of Swire Airlines will never be sold. Mr. Wang Qi can go back to Xia Yu!" Now that the uncle Norman Shi Yahuai came, Wade Shi Yahuai naturally retreated to the second line and left the full power to his uncle. He sat down again and stared at Wang Qi indignantly. Wang Qi narrowed his eyes, then took the person to sit down again at random, with his elbows on the table, his palms crossed, and his body leaning forward slightly, posing a very aggressive posture. A vocal feeling: "Mr. Norman Shiyahuai, you don''t have to refuse to be so resolute. It is very unwise for you not to leave a way out for yourself when you don''t know things." Norman Shi Yahuai sneered and strongly refuted: "Mr. Wang Qi, in your Chinese words, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Are you sure you are teaching me now?" As soon as these words came out, everyone beside Norman Shi Yahuai stared at Wang Qi coldly. Many people''s faces showed anger, insulting their heads, isn''t it just insulting them? Although the atmosphere became tit-for-tat in an instant, Wang Qi''s expression remained steadfast. He smiled faintly, "It''s not a lesson, but a fact. Mr. Norman Shiyahuai may wish to consider this matter carefully. There are already many situations in the tender offer. Written clearly, I think you must be a person full of wisdom if you can develop the Swire Consortium to where it is now!" "Now it seems that you need to calm down, then I will come again next time!" After speaking, Wang Qi got up, looked at the people behind him, and motioned for them to leave with him. Before coming, Wang Qi had already deduced what might happen, and the situation that Shi Yahuai''s family tried hard to resist and resent was what he expected. So he never thought that Shi Yahuai''s family would raise their hands obediently and surrender. If Shi Yahuai''s family were so easy to talk, then chairman Xia Yu would not have spent so much effort to do the preliminary work. This is destined to be an acquisition full of twists and turns. Chairman Xia Yu has given him enough time and he has enough patience! This time, the main purpose is to send the tender offer, and at the same time express an attitude to create psychological pressure on the Shi Yahuai family as much as possible. The things have been delivered, the attitude is very clear, and all the goals have been achieved. What''s the point of staying here to fight. Seeing Wang Qi about to leave, Norman Shi Yahuai was a little unexpected. But he was not confused. As Wang Qi was about to leave, he seized the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Wang Qi, have you also acquired the shares of Cathay Pacific held by Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC?" Wang Qi paused, stared at Norman Shi Yahuai for a long time, showing a smile, and replied without hiding: "Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai, I know what you want to know, I can tell you all!" Norman Shi Yahuai''s face changed slightly, staring at Wang Qi calmly, waiting for his next words. Immediately afterwards, Wang Qi''s voice sounded again: "Now we have a 54% stake in Cathay Pacific Airways and a 66.5% stake in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company!" "I believe that at this time, someone is already taking over these two companies!" "You will get news soon!" "Confrontation will only make things worse!" "Mr. Norman Shiyahuai, we will not let you suffer. I believe you will not be controlled by emotions." After that, Wang Qi nodded to Norman Shi Yahuai with an ugly face, and then decisively led people away, leaving only Norman Shi Yahuai and others with a bad mood and an ugly face. For a while, the atmosphere in the small conference room was stagnant. Others knew that Norman Shiya was in the air, and they did not even dare to gasp. Less than a minute after Wang Qi and the others left, there was a series of rapid footsteps outside the door, the sound getting closer and closer. When the owner of the footsteps appeared at the door, Norman Shi Yahuai and others looked at him in unison. Under the gaze of the boss and others, the employees who were already panicked had their legs shaken. They almost didn''t kneel down, their throats seemed to be pinched, and the emergency things they wanted to report could not be said at all. Fortunately, at this time, Wade Shi Yahuai made a vocal relief and asked in as calm a voice as possible: "What happened?" The reporting staff was stunned for a moment before hurriedly said: ¡°Chairman, Cathay Pacific just called. A group of people from Jiuding Industrial Group took the equity certificate and contract, and under the leadership of Song Dong and the vice president of Standard Chartered Taking over the company, the specific situation is not yet clear. All the senior executives have been called to a meeting in a concentrated manner. Now you will be notified of the meeting." After speaking, the employees looked at Wade Shiyahuai and Norman Shiyahuai and others, but were stunned to find that the imaginary shock of the chairman had not happened. Did the chairman know in advance? Naturally, no one pays attention to his psychological history. Wade Shi Yahuai looked at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai solemnly, and said: "Uncle, they really did it. If it is 54% equity, it will be really troublesome! If we don¡¯t pass, they can Through the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, the board of directors was directly removed to take over the company!" "Even if we go, I''m afraid we won''t be able to stop it..." The reason why Wade Shiyahuai is so pessimistic is that British law gives shareholders sufficient rights. According to the current Article 184 of the British Companies Act, as long as 10% of the shareholders unanimously propose, an extraordinary general meeting can be convened. No matter what the articles of association or any agreement between the directors, shareholders can pass the shareholders The general meeting voted to remove any director whose term of office has not expired. Moreover, although the "British Companies Act" protects company directors, it also protects shareholders. The "one-vote veto" can be invalidated here. This is because as long as the general meeting of shareholders removes the board of directors in accordance with the general resolution procedure, rather than taking special procedures, then the "British Companies Act" can be set, and the board of directors can be removed as long as a simple majority of shareholders attend the meeting agree. Give a simple example. If all shareholders have participated in the general meeting of shareholders, it can be passed as long as the valid votes representing the equity exceed 50%. And if Wade Shiyahuai does not go now, nor does the other two companies, only Jiuding Industrial Group, then because Jiuding Industrial Group¡¯s shareholding ratio reaches the meeting standard, the meeting can be smoothly held, and the voting rate is 100%. , Unilaterally dismissed the board of directors and forcibly took over the company. This is the right of the largest shareholder and the super-large shareholder who holds more than half of the shares. So no matter whether you go today or not, as long as Jiuding Industrial Group decides to remove the board of directors, then through general resolutions, you can get what you want, and Norman Shiyahuai will lose the chairmanship. His one-vote veto power can only be used to re-elect the board of directors. Because in the matter of re-election of the board of directors, the company''s articles of association have already stipulated, and the "British Companies Act" also stipulates that two-thirds of the shareholders present must agree to the re-election of the board. Therefore, it is easier to remove the board of directors, as long as more than 50% agree. If the board of directors is elected, two-thirds of the voting rate is required! I went to the meeting today, so there is still a chance to resist and mess up. If they do not go, then Jiuding Industrial Group will be able to successfully elect the chairman who represents their interests in one step, and it will be even more detrimental to Swire Airlines! Norman Shi Yahuai is a veteran of Shang Hai. He has done a lot of domineering things in the field of capital. There are not too many Chinese who oppose him. Naturally, he knows these routines well. He immediately ordered: "You go over, and you must do your best to stop it, and at the same time figure out the situation!" Wade Shi Yahuai nodded his head, and combined with what Wang Qi said before, he said to Norman Shi Yahuai: "Uncle, they should do something to the ground handling company of Xiangjiang Airport. If there is a time conflict, I went to Cathay Pacific. Others go over." He did not let his uncle go over, because although his uncle Norman Shiyahuai was the chairman of Swire Group, he did not serve as a director or chairman of Swire Airlines and a series of companies below so he could not represent Swire Airlines. The company used to have meetings. At this moment, another series of rapid footsteps came from far and near. Norman Shiyahuai, who had experienced it once, had heavy faces and stared straight at the door. Sure enough, another employee ran in in a panic and directly said the matter: "Chairman, just received a notice from the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company that the company¡¯s major shareholder has changed to Jiuding Industrial Group. They will inform you of the past. Meeting!" Wade Shi Yahuai said with a gloomy face: "I see..." He just wanted to go down and looked out the door suddenly. Sure enough, a familiar scene appeared again. But this time it was not what they expected. Seeing that it was not an employee in the reception department, but a middle-level employee in charge of the capital market, Wade Shiyahuai suddenly snorted. Could it be... Sure enough, the next nervous report from the employee who came to the report verified the guess in his mind and changed his face. "Chairman, something went wrong, the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. have skyrocketed because Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. bought shares in the market at a double price!" "Jiuding Securities Company does not hide it at all. It seems that everyone wants to know that the capital market has been shaken by this statement of Jiuding Securities Company." "Are we going to raise funds to join the acquisition?" Wade Shi Yahuai did not answer, he turned his head to look at Norman Shi Yahuai, his expression was very ugly, almost crying. PS: I wrote about two o''clock, my back pain was dizzy, and I went to bed, don''t stay up late, and rest early after reading! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1000: The beginning is filled with smoke Norman Shi Yahuai did not answer, but directly expressed his attitude with practical actions. He immediately came to the desk in the corner where he put the phone, dialed the office number of Swire Financial Corporation, and immediately commanded: "I am Norman Shi Yahuai, and I will try my best to raise the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company at any cost. Act now..." Norman Shiyahuai spoke for less than a minute, and then hung up the phone decisively to avoid delaying Swire Financial''s actions. After hanging up the phone, Norman Shiya had a gloomy face and was in a mess. Wang Qi didn''t tell him just now that he was already working on the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, and now he is aggressively attacking, giving him tremendous pressure. The main reason is still the shareholding structure of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. Swire Airways originally held 26.2% of the shares in Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., and was the largest shareholder. It controls the company together with Cathay Pacific Airways, the second largest shareholder, which holds 24.8%. The two together hold 51% of the shares. But some time ago, in order to replace the equity of Dongfeng Airlines, Swire Airlines took out 2.78% of the shares of HeungKong Aircraft Engineering Company for replacement, resulting in the reduction of Swire Airlines¡¯ shareholding ratio to 20%. 3.42, became the second largest shareholder below Cathay Pacific. Under normal circumstances, it doesn¡¯t matter. After all, even if they lose 2.78% of their equity, the cumulative shareholding of Swire Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways has reached 48.22%, which is 50% less. The line is very close, just buy some equity from the secondary market. But the situation is completely different now! Cathay Pacific Airways¡¯ dominance is about to be snatched away, so under the interference of Jiuding Industrial Group, it will definitely not work with Swire Airlines anymore. Only the shares directly held by Swire Airlines have been able to play a full role. If the equity acquired by Jiuding Securities is high enough, then the trouble will be big... Now Norman Shi Yahuai is afraid that Jiuding Securities has secretly acquired enough equity. But no matter what, joining the rush is the only way. Even if the price is doubled, it will not hesitate. Even if you can''t get it, Jiuding Securities will be bleeding! If you don''t want to lose when you don''t know the details of the enemy, you must go all out! Shaking his head slightly, Norman Shi Yahuai came back to his senses and told Wade Shi Yahuai: "Wade, you go to Cathay Pacific Airways right now, and do as I told you just now. Others are up to you." "As for the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company..." Speaking of this, Norman Shiyahuai showed a complex look, and after thinking for a moment, he told Wade Shiyahuai: "You arrange a powerful subordinate to pass, and do your best to support it!" Norman Shiyahuai did not say that he was more discouraged and motivated. After all, the situation of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company was worse than that of Cathay Pacific. He was completely wearing a pair of underpants to resist, not to mention other people, not even himself. confidence. Wade Shi Yahuai nodded solemnly: "Uncle, I will make arrangements!" Norman Shi Yahuai patted his nephew on the shoulder, and solemnly said: "Go, I will dispatch in the middle of the kilometer, and report back if there is any situation!" Wade Shiyahuai didn''t say much, nodded heavily to express his attitude, and then turned and walked away quickly. ... When Wade Shiyahuai came to Cathay Pacific in a hurry, he clearly saw that the company''s employees were panic and were not working at all. After some employees saw him, they just called out the chairman, and there was no answer. Wade Shiyahuai didn''t bother to care about these different-minded employees. After looking for someone to ask about the situation, he immediately walked into the elevator and rushed to the conference room on the fifth floor. Cathay Pacific¡¯s conference rooms are divided into internal and external rooms. Large and small conference rooms are generally connected to a gourd, except that there is a wall and a door separating them. When Wade Shiyahuai appeared at the door of the large conference room, he immediately attracted the attention of a crowd of people in the conference room. Wade Shiyahuai swept his eyes, and instantly recognized that these were the senior management, directors and supervisors of Cathay Pacific Airways, almost all of them were here except for business trips. It''s just that these people are in groups, obviously gathered in groups. Among the three types of corporate executives, directors, and supervisors, the most confusing group of directors is divided into five groups. There are nine people with the largest number, of which seven are directors who belong to Swire Airlines, the other two directors are Zhang Dasheng (formerly known as Marlen Demps), a director assigned by the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company Director Fan Keming (formerly known as Matt Arnold). Then there is a group of four directors of HSBC Bank, headed by Vice Chairman Liu Weilian. Song Bo, two directors except Song Bo, and one director of Standard Chartered Bank except Baker Jerry, vice president of Standard Chartered Bank, total three people together. The seven independent directors hired to guide the development of the company in accordance with the "Articles of Association" are on the verge of getting together to observe the strange situation in the field. Finally, the three people in the middle of the venue, or two with board status, and one without board status! These three people are not only the focus of Wade Shi Yahuai, but also the focus of the entire venue. The three are: Wei Li, Vice President of Jiuding Industrial Group and President of Hutchison Whampoa! Baker Jerry, Vice President of Standard Chartered Bank and Director of Cathay Pacific Airways! And Song Bo, the current vice chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways and the head of the Song family! Neither one is good! At this moment, Werry, who was sitting in the middle position, stood up with a smile and said to Wade Shiyahuai: "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, you are finally here. Now that all shareholders are here, then we will hold Extraordinary shareholders meeting!" "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, please come on stage and take a seat?" Werri took his original position. This attitude of being a master made Wade Shiya a anger in his heart, but considering this occasion, the eyes of everyone could only hold back it. He walked straight to the stage with a dark face, but when he passed by the director group belonging to the Swire Airlines camp, he paused and glanced at a few people before continuing to walk inside. After Wade Shi Yahuai took the seat according to the seat card, other directors, supervisors, senior executives and other attendees also took their seats. What¡¯s interesting is that because this is a general meeting of shareholders, the protagonist can only be the shareholder. The top row is only four people including Wei Li, Wade Shi Yahuai, Fan Keming and Zhang Dasheng ~ www.novelhall.com~ all have equity. Represents the right to vote. Baker Jerry, Song Bo and others, who lost their shareholder status because of the loss of equity, still sat in the middle position below as directors of the company and attended the meeting as nonvoting delegates. the reason is simple. Because the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and Song Family have been in the hands of Jiuding Industrial Group, they have lost their shareholder status. However, the board of directors has not been re-elected, so despite the loss of shareholder status, their status on the board of directors has not changed according to the "Company Law" and the "Articles of Association of Cathay Pacific Co., Ltd.". The only difference is that shareholders who have a say have become non-voting delegates. "The person closest to the door closes the door!" Wei Li said loudly, after seeing someone closing the door, he continued: "Now I announce the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders..." Before we finished speaking, Wade Shiyahuai interrupted bluntly: "Wait a minute, before the meeting, I want to verify your shareholder identity!" Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue became tense, and the smell of gunpowder gradually permeated. Everyone stared at the rostrum closely, and their eyes moved back and forth on Wei Li and Wade Shi Yahuai. PS: The book is finally over 1000 chapters, souvenir! In addition, the plot is about to enter its climax, so stay tuned tomorrow, ask for a ticket! Interested brothers can guess how Werry will completely defeat Wade Shiyahuai when the equity is less than 66.7%! And then fully control the company! It can be analyzed on the board of directors. This board of directors is specially set up, and it is also logical. Welcome to the chapter and leave precious conjectures! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1001: Deep calculations in the struggle of shareholders meeting Wei Lifeng smiled lightly, calmly took out several copies from the briefcase, and threw them directly on the table in front of Wade Shi Yahuai, and said unceremoniously: "All the copies of the equity certificates, total Hold 54% of the shares, go and see for yourself!" In everyone''s eyes, Wade Shiya didn''t care about the anger, took up the stock certificate in front of him with a calm face, and after looking through it one by one, he added the numbers in his heart and came up with a number-54%! What I said to Werry is not bad! Wade Shiyahuai looked at the audience, his eyes swept across the faces of Baker Jerry, Song Bo, and HSBC''s deputy chairman Liu William, and the resentment in his eyes was undoubtedly expressed. These three are accomplices! At this time, Werry''s voice sounded again. "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, have you seen it clearly? Am I now the largest shareholder of Cathay Pacific?" The tone of the speech was plain, but the content of the speech was extremely arrogant. Wade Shi Yahuai gave a cold snort, threw the copy of the equity certificate back to Werry, and sat in the position without saying a word and remained silent. Wei Li didn''t care, but instead smiled faintly, and continued to say to everyone in the audience: "Now I, as the largest shareholder, announce that the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders has officially begun!" "Don''t talk nonsense, go directly to the first agenda of this shareholders meeting." "Due to a major change in the identity of the company''s shareholders, and current company directors Zhao Xiang, Liu Tai, and Jones Federer... failed to perform their duties of diligence in performing their duties, which seriously affected the company''s operations and damaged the rights and interests of the company''s shareholders." "Therefore, the aforementioned directors of the company are no longer qualified for the positions of directors of the company. According to the relevant provisions of the "Company Law" and the "Articles of Association of Cathay Pacific Co., Ltd.", Jiuding Industrial Group, as the largest shareholder, proposed to adopt the cumulative voting system to remove the aforementioned director Zhao. The directorships of Xiang, Liu Tai, Jones Federer...etc. As soon as Werry''s voice fell, everyone present changed! Some are shocked, some are doubtful, some are thoughtful...and so on! The people Wei Li proposed to remove belonged to the direct line of Wade Shi Yahuai. He was appointed with seats corresponding to the shares of Swire Airlines. There are seven people in total. For example, Baker Jerry and Song Bo, who were in the united front with him, as well as the directors previously arranged by Standard Chartered Bank and Song Family, were all their own, and they did not propose to be removed. Regardless of whether the seven independent directors for the company''s development were nominated by Wade Shiyahuai to join the company''s board of directors, or whether they belonged to his camp, Werry did not propose to be removed. In addition, there are two other people who are not among the ranks of his proposed removal. It is Van Kermin (Matt Arnold) and Zhang Dasheng (Marlen Demps) with a stunned look. After the two glanced at each other, they looked back and forth at Wei Li and Wade Shi Yahuai in a daze, not knowing what was going on. The two of them regarded themselves as members of Swire Airlines, and Wade Shiyahuai was the first to look forward. Therefore, before Wade Shiyahuai came, they stood with the directors appointed corresponding to the equity held by Swire Airlines, and their positions were very clear. In particular, Fan Keming has this mentality. After all, he is a director sent by the senior management of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. And Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company only holds 4% of the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways, which does not reach the 5% line. However, Swire Airlines assigned the right corresponding to 1% of the equity to Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, which allowed the latter to have 5% voting rights and was eligible to have a board seat. In addition to being the chairman of Swire Airlines and Cathay Pacific, Wade Shiyahuai is also the chairman of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company and Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company. It was Wade Shiyahuai who was appointed to join Cathay Pacific Airways. Before they were born, Fan Keming and Zhang Da didn''t know what happened in their respective companies, so they were confused. They didn''t understand why Wei Li would let go of their two "direct lines" against Wade Shiyahuai. At this time, someone in the rioting stage had looked at them with strange eyes, seeming to wonder why they were "specially treated" by Werri. Wade Shiyahuai was not confused, he was shocked at this time! Werry did not intend to remove the entire board, but only seven directors who were completely loyal to him! Werry is cutting his wings! There is a huge conspiracy! He had been in shopping malls for many years, he immediately thought of a possibility! Werry wanted to use the rights of shareholders, the highest authority of the company, from the top down, to disrupt his foundation on the board of directors, and then according to Cathay Pacific¡¯s special board structure, the shareholding ratio was less than 66.7%. In the case of, get two-thirds of the voting rights of the board of directors! And the most critical place to achieve this goal is the seven independent director seats established by the "Articles of Association of Cathay Pacific Co., Ltd."! These seven independent directors are Werry''s goal! It is very likely that Werry wants to suppress him, smash his prestige, and then force the independent directors to stand in line! If he is seized of the opportunity, it is very likely that Werry will be hit by a time gap. When he is caught off guard, he will control the company''s board of directors and remove his chairmanship. At that time, he will really say that he should not be called every day. Spirited! Without dismissing the board of directors as a whole, the only way for Werri to lose his chairmanship is through a two-thirds vote of the board. When the board of directors has seven independent directors, the seven director seats represented by his 37% equity can no longer guarantee that his voting rights will always be more than one-third! It must be delayed, and Werry must not be crushed by a wave. It must maintain its prestige without other directors knowing what it is, and buy time for the next self-help operation! Thinking of this, he slapped the table with a slap in his heart, as if to boost himself, and at the same time decisively objected: "I disagree!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Fan Keming and Zhang Dasheng, two shareholder-identified ¡°subordinates¡±, and signaled them to stand up quickly. Facing the gaze of Wade Shi Yahuai, Fan Keming immediately stood in line and said loudly: "I also don''t agree!" In Fan Keming''s view, even if he loses his status as a director of Cathay Pacific Airways, he is still an executive of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, and Wade Shiyahuai is his chairman. Zhang Dasheng''s mentality is the same as that of Fan Keming, so he immediately stood in the line and expressed his stance for Wade Shiya. "I object too!" After he expressed his opinion, everyone''s eyes focused on Werry. Although Wade Shi Yahuai, Zhang Dasheng, and Fan Keming hold only 44% of the total voting rights, it is still unstoppable. But Werry just didn''t want Wade Shiyahuai to gain even a little momentum. And he also wants Zhang Dasheng and Fan Keming to recognize the situation! If the two of them can betray Wade Shiyahuai on the spot, it will deal a huge blow to the prestige of Wade Shiyahuai, which will help the company''s executives to recognize the situation and help him enter Cathay Pacific. Not only that, in the plan before Wei Li came, as long as Zhang Dasheng and Fan Keming were turned back, then their two directorships would be preserved. And all the members of Wade Shiyahuai''s family on the board of directors were cleared out, and all the incomplete board of directors would belong to him. In this case, the board of directors has not been removed and abolished, and the board of directors still exists, so there is no need to re-elect the board of directors. In this way, you only need to make up the board of directors. There is a fundamental difference between re-electing company directors and re-electing board of directors. The re-election of the board of directors requires the consent of two-thirds of the shareholders meeting. But just to elect one or two directors, only half of the shareholders'' general meeting is required. Wei Li just wanted to take advantage of this gap to veto all the directors proposed by Wade Shiyahuai, and then rely on him for more than half of the voting rights, and then send his own to the board of directors. After a few more operations, Wade Shiyahuai will be powerless! The most important thing now is to win Zhang Dasheng and Fan Keming! Wei Li looked at Zhang Dasheng abruptly, his eyes sharp as a knife, as if he could see through his mind, making Zhang Dasheng''s heart straight. At this moment, Werry took out a stack of documents from his bag again and threw them directly in front of Zhang Dasheng. Zhang Dasheng glanced, his face changed suddenly when he saw some of the words on it. When Wade Shiyahuai saw the familiar cover, he naturally knew what it was, and his face became particularly ugly. Wei Li''s voice sounded at the right time: "Zhang Dasheng, pick it up and take a good look, who is the boss of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company!" "Whether you can stay in the company or not depends on your own choice!" Feeling the focused eyes around him, Zhang Dasheng swallowed nervously. He glanced at the ugly face of Wade Shi Yahuai, then picked up a stack of copies with a trembling hand and looked through it. Twenty-four percent of the equity certificate of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company! Sixteen percent of the stock certificate! 15% proof of equity! 11.5% stock certificate! The total shareholding ratio-66.5%! After calculating this number in his mind Zhang Dasheng trembled. Jiuding Industrial Group actually holds 66.5% of the shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company! Although less than two-thirds, but as long as more than 50%, he can be directly removed from the company''s board of directors through the general meeting of shareholders. As for his status as an executive, as long as Jiuding Industrial Group takes over, there is also a way to remove him. As a relatively small shareholder, how can Swire Airlines beat the major shareholder Jiuding Industrial Group? If Werry wants to keep him, he can definitely stay in the company. Even if Wade Shiyahuai proposes to remove him as a director, he will not pass the shareholders meeting. If Werry were to kill him, he would be swept out properly. Seeing Zhang Dasheng''s face change, and his position was clearly shaking violently, Wade Shiya panicked. He sternly said to Zhang Dasheng: "Ma Lun, you have to think carefully!" Wei Li smiled faintly and said meaningfully to Zhang Dasheng: "Zhang Dasheng, there is only one chance. You are already forty-five years old, and you should understand the importance of choice!" "I will confirm with you again. Do you agree or disagree with my proposal just now?" Faced with the attention of the audience, Zhang Dasheng took a deep breath, his gaze instantly became firm. Wade Shiya, who had been watching the changes in Zhang Dasheng''s expression, clenched his fists subconsciously, and stared at Zhang Dasheng with bated breath. For a long time, I only heard Zhang Dasheng spit out three words decisively! PS: As long as there is no electricity tonight, there will be one more update, now continue to write, and ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1002: Hanging Wade Shiyahuai "I agree!" As soon as Zhang Dasheng''s voice fell, the audience was in an uproar. Wade Shi Yahuai''s face was extremely ugly, he stared at Zhang Dasheng fiercely. Wei Li showed a satisfied smile and gave Zhang Dasheng an admiring look. Then he looked at Fan Keming next to Zhang Dasheng. With Zhang Dasheng''s lessons for the past, Fan Keming felt no sense when he saw Wei Li looking at him, for fear that Wei Li would also take out a stack of papers and threw it over and let himself choose again. You Dao is what you are afraid of. In Fan Keming''s flustered gaze, Werry took out a stack of bound documents from his bag and threw it in front of Fan Keming, and said lightly: "Give you another chance to recognize the situation!" While Fan Keming was stunned, Wade Shiyahuai suddenly got up and walked towards Fan Keming, seeming to want to **** the documents in front of Fan Keming. Wade Shi Yahuai''s sudden behavior exceeded everyone''s expectations. But Werry recovered immediately and yelled: "Fan Keming, take the documents, otherwise you will regret it!" "Roda, maintain order in the venue!" Roda, the bodyguard brought by Werry, ran over from the edge of the venue. Fan Keming was taken aback and grabbed the file subconsciously and did not let Wade Shiyahuai **** it. Although the file was caught by Wade Shiyahuai, he just grabbed it and didn''t let go. Seeing that the bodyguard was about to come, Wade Shiyahuai hurriedly scolded Fan Keming: "Matt, give it to me!" Just when Fancoming hesitated, Werry''s bodyguard had run over and intervened between the two of them, restricting Wade Shiyahuai''s actions. Wade Shiyahuai''s robbery operation failed. At this moment, Werry stood up, squinted and said to Wade Shiyahuai: "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, how much equity do we hold in Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering? You will know later, why bother!" "You, the chairman, should do this kind of action?" "Now that the shareholders'' meeting is still being held, come back to your seat and sit down!" Facing Werry''s cynicism, Wade Shiyahuai trembled with anger. After he glanced at the document in Fan Keming''s hand unwillingly, he stared at Werry gloomily and said: "Werry, you are threatening shareholders. According to the "Articles of Association", this general meeting of shareholders is invalid!" Wei Li smiled faintly, looked at Zhang Dasheng, and asked gently: "Zhang Dasheng, did I threaten you?" Zhang Dasheng ignored Wade Shi Yahuai''s gaze and resolutely said: "I have not received any threats!" Wei Li smiled faintly, looked at Fan Keming again, and said softly: "Fan Keming, you can read the equity certificate by yourself, and then reply to Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai, am I threatening you!" Fan Keming didn''t say a word. He opened the document from the angle that only one person could see and found that it was indeed the stock certificate of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. He calculated in his mind when the cumulative number reached 44.12%. He turned to the next page. He thought it was a share certificate, but at first glance, it was not in that format at all, but a narrative text and a string of numbers. But this paragraph of narrative words and numbers made Fan Keming''s face changed drastically and his scalp numb. It turned out to be an invisible incident in the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. As long as it is exposed, it is enough to cause him to suffer from prison! How could Werry have his handle! He was obviously very careful. No one else knew how Werry found it! Van Kermington was frightened. He suppressed the shock and panic in his heart and looked up at Werry, just in time to see Werry just looking at him with a flat expression. It was this calm expression that frightened Fan Keming. Now Jiuding Industrial Group has become the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. Although the shareholding ratio is less than half, Swire Airlines has even less direct shareholding. If Cathay Pacific Airways is successfully controlled by Jiuding Industrial Group, then Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company will also change ownership, and Werry will be his boss! It may be both the boss and the largest shareholder, holding his black material. In the face of this situation, Fan Keming decisively turned his back on his life with a small life and an important future. He resolutely said: "I agree with Mr. Werry''s proposal!" After speaking, he immediately added: "All this is my voluntary!" Wade Shiyahuai stared at Fan Keming angrily and asked: "Matt Arnold, you dare to betray me!" Fan Keming shook his face, seeming to express his determination to Werry. He strongly retorted: "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, I am the representative of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company in Cathay Pacific. I have the right to make my own choice!" Wade Shi Yahuai was even more angry. He shouted angrily: "As the chairman of the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, I announced the withdrawal of your representative status. I will directly represent you, and you will go out!" At this time, Werry stood up to support Fan Keming and said coldly: "Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai, the revocation of Fan Keming''s representative status needs to be discussed and voted on by the board of directors. You said nothing!" "Now this is the meeting place of Cathay Pacific Airways'' shareholders meeting. Your identity as the chairman of the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company is useless here!" After speaking, Werry looked at the bodyguard Rhoda, and ordered: "Pay attention to the order of the venue and continue the meeting!" Fan Keming sat down immediately, holding the document given by Werry with both hands, for fear of being taken away. And Wade Shiyahuai had to sit down again even if he was not reconciled. Werry continued: "For the proposal just now, please show your hands if you agree with it!" After speaking, Werry raised his hand first, and Fan Keming and Zhang Dasheng immediately raised their hands. Wei Li looked at the representatives of the supervisors in the audience and ordered: "The representatives of the supervisors are responsible for counting the votes and reading the results!" There are only four shareholders, and the number of votes cast by a show of hands is clear at a glance. The representative of the supervisor immediately stood up and said: "With regard to the proposal to remove the directors of the company''s directors Zhao Xiang, Liu Tai, Jones Federer...etc., the voting rate was 100%, the approval rate was 63%, and the disapproval rate was 3%. Seventeen!" "The approval rate is over half, the proposal passed!" As soon as the supervisor representative''s voice fell, Song Bo in the audience took the lead and applauded, followed by some people. Although the seven persons who were revoked as directors were not reconciled, they had to accept this cruel reality. After the applause dissipated, Wei Li looked at the independent directors. After regaining his gaze, Werry continued: "The first agenda is over, and the second agenda begins!" "In view of the large-scale change in the company¡¯s equity, the original shareholders Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC and the Song family¡¯s equity were all transferred to Jiuding Industrial Group. The current shareholding ratio of the Group is 54%, and the shareholding ratio is 100%. The fifth is that one director seat can be obtained, and Jiuding Industrial Group should enjoy ten director seats." "For the stability of the company, the original four director seats of HSBC, three directors of the Song family, and two directors of Standard Chartered Bank will remain unchanged for the time being," "There is one board seat left. I propose that I myself be a candidate for the board of directors, and I propose that the general meeting of shareholders adopt a cumulative voting system for voting!" "Now we will start to vote by show of hands, and the supervisors will make statistics on the votes!" "If you agree, please raise your hand!" After speaking, Werry raised his hand first. Fan Keming and Zhang Dasheng immediately followed up and raised their hands to agree. Wade Shiya sat on a chair with a dark face, feeling extremely angry and suffocated, but could not stop him, he could only watch Wei Li rely on more than half of the equity holdings to show off in the shareholders meeting. The supervisor representative stood up again and said: "With regard to the proposal to nominate Mr. Wei Li as a director of the company, the vote rate was 100%, the approval rate was 63%, and the disapproval rate was 37%!" "The approval rate is over half, the proposal passed!" "Papa..." After the supervisory representative announced the results, Werry took the lead and applauded, his face showing a bright smile. After the applause fell again. Wei Li looked at Wade Shi Yahuai and asked: "Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai, this extraordinary shareholders meeting, my proposal has been completed, if you do not propose, then this shareholders meeting is over." Wade Shi Yahuai was in a mess at this time, where there was any proposal, he said coldly: "No." Wei Li smiled faintly, looked at everyone in the audience, and said loudly: "Then I announce that this extraordinary shareholders meeting is officially over!" Just when everyone thought Werry¡¯s actions could come to an end, he suddenly said: ¡°Except for the director of Swire Airlines, there is a vacancy, and all other directors are present. I propose as a shareholder with 54% of the voting rights. Three days later, That is, on June 17, at nine o''clock in the morning, a temporary board of directors will be held here, and all directors and related attendees are invited to attend the meeting on time." Werry''s proposal was reasonable and could not be rejected. After all, the temporary board of directors is not a formal board of directors, and the convening conditions are more relaxed, as long as one of the following three conditions is met: One is the proposal of shareholders representing more than 10% of the voting rights; Second, more than one-third of directors¡¯ proposals; The third is the proposal of the board of supervisors. In fact, in Werry''s situation, both the first and second conditions are met. However, if the second condition is used, other people need to express their opinions with him. Wherever he directly sets the first one, it is more powerful. The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Wade Shiyahuai couldn''t help resisting. While he was frustrated with anger in his heart, he secretly rejoiced that there were nearly three days left. If Werry proposes to convene a temporary board of directors now ~ www.novelhall.com ~ all shareholders are here, although the number of directors represented by Swire Airlines is insufficient, he, the chairman of the board, can hold seats on behalf of him, so all directors are counted. Now, he couldn''t stop Werry''s proposal at all. Wade Shiyahuai also guessed that Werry did not have full confidence in getting all the independent directors, so he set up the temporary board of directors three days later, otherwise he would fire it now. And this is their only chance! You must go back and report to your uncle! Thinking of this, Wade Shiyahuai left the meeting directly and flicked his sleeves away. His subordinates who had been dismissed as directors immediately followed in despair. It''s just that he was absent-minded, and when he walked to the door, he came across the leg of a chair and almost fell him. Fortunately, someone behind him was quickly supporting him, but Wade Shiyahuai still looked embarrassed. Werry seized the opportunity to joked to Wade Shiyahuai who was about to disappear at the door: "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, be careful, it would be a shame to fall and miss the board of directors three days later." "Hahaha..." There was a series of laughter immediately in the audience. Of course, those who dared to laugh clearly were from Werry''s side. Some company executives had to endure it very hard. Werry looked at the executives and said casually: "In the next time, everyone will do their job well. There will be changes in the upper management of the company, but it will end soon and will not affect the normal operation of the company." "Everyone is gone!" After speaking, Werry stepped down and walked to the group of independent directors. These independent directors are the key to his complete control of Cathay Pacific Airways. Now he can get to know him before he can do his work in a targeted manner. PS: The second update is over, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1003: Behind the scenes "You guys take a break at the company first, I have something to do when I go up!" After returning to Swire Airlines, Wade Shiyahuai said to the seven directors of the former Cathay Pacific Airways who came back with him. After speaking, he rushed into the elevator, leaving behind everyone looking at each other and depressed. Soon, Wade Shi Yahuai found his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai. Seeing his nephew come in with an ugly look, Norman Shiyahuai suddenly got up and immediately asked with concern: "Wade, how is the situation?" Wade Shi Yahuai finally had a catharsis, and he talked to his uncle endlessly. "Uncle, Cathay Pacific¡¯s situation is very critical now. Jiuding Industrial Group really holds 54% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity. Today, Wei Li from Hutchison Whampoa came to the meeting as the vice president of Jiuding Industrial Group. He dismissed seven directors belonging to Swire Airlines at the shareholders meeting and..." Norman Shi Yahuai listened quietly. Although the content of his nephew made him very angry after listening, he still tried his best to calm himself. "...Uncle, there are less than three days left for us now. If even the board of directors is lost, then we can only be squeezed by Xia Yu at will." After speaking, Wade Shi Yahuai stared straight at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, waiting for his instructions. At this time, Norman Shi Yahuai''s brows were already frowned. Because Werry''s series of offensives have pushed them to the edge of the cliff, if effective rescue measures are not found, then Cathay Pacific will be completely lost, even if they still hold 37% of the equity, it will not help. And the consequences are not limited to this. Once Cathay Pacific Airways loses, then the Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, which is still fiercely competing in the stock market, will also lose. Even if Swire Financial grabs all public stocks still circulating in the stock market, it will be useless! From Wade Shi Yahuai''s description of the betrayal of Fan Keming, the appointed director of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, it can be seen that the equity ratio of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company held by Jiuding Industrial Group is definitely not low! After a long silence, Norman Shiyahuai said to his nephew: "Wade, tell me more about Cathay Pacific¡¯s board structure and changes, and Cathay Pacific¡¯s "Articles"." Wade Shiyahuai pondered for a moment, and after finishing his thoughts, he immediately said: "Uncle, the original board of directors had 26 seats, including 19 equity directors (also known as ex officio directors) and 7 independent directors." "Among the nineteen equity directors, because Swire Airlines originally held 42% of the shares, eight equity directors, including me." "HSBC holds 20% of the shares and has four equity director seats." "The Song family holds 16% of the shares and has three equity director seats." "Standard Chartered Bank holds 13% of the shares and has two equity director seats." "Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Services Company holds 5% of the shares and has an equity director seat. "Then the implementation of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, although the shareholding ratio is only 4%, but in order to better control the company, I gave the 2% equity rights of Taikoo Airlines to Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, so it also has An equity director seat." "Because the number of director seats is even, it has been stipulated in the company''s "Articles of Association" that the chairman of the board has an additional vote." "Therefore, among the 19 equity directors, there are a total of 20 votes. We were able to directly control 11 votes before, accounting for 40% of the 27 votes of the entire board of directors." "Moreover, in order to firmly control the company, the company''s "Articles of Association" also clearly stipulates that the board of directors of the chairman shall vote for elections, and more than two-thirds of the votes are required to be elected, and two-thirds of the votes are required to be overthrown before the term of office expires. ." "But now our stake in Cathay Pacific Airways held by Swire Airlines has decreased by 5%. In fact, we have already lost a board seat. Coupled with the betrayal of Fan Keming and Zhang Dasheng, we are now 100% in line with us. There are only eight votes, including one extra vote for my chairmanship!" "If Swire Airlines does not transfer 5% of the equity and loses a seat, or if Zhang Dasheng and Fan Keming have no betrayal, then we can still have exactly one-third of the votes when all other votes are opposed. ." "but now¡­¡­" Speaking of this, Wade Shiyahuai lowered his head reproachfully, regretting it in his heart. If 5% of Cathay Pacific¡¯s equity were not used to replace Dongfeng Airlines¡¯ equity, this would not have happened. It''s a pity that this is the end, what''s the use of regret? Closer to home. In Cathay Pacific¡¯s "Articles of Association", it is clearly stipulated that many important proposals such as the company''s increase or decrease of registered capital, private placement of shares, issuance of bonds, amendments to the company''s articles of association, etc., require the approval of more than two-thirds of the directors attending the meeting. Even if it is exactly two-thirds, it will not work, and the clear requirement must be exceeded. So if Wade Shiyahuai controlled one-third of the votes, he would be able to firmly block all necessary major proposals, including the proposal to remove his chairmanship before the expiry of his term. Of course, most companies are different from Cathay Pacific Airways. Election and removal of the chairman only requires more than half of the board votes. If it is stated in the Articles of Association that two-thirds of the votes are required, it is another matter. Swire Airlines originally controlled Cathay Pacific Airways very tightly, but it was a pity that Norman Shi Yahuai took it carelessly. He did not expect Xia Yu to secretly control the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. The loss of a seat and the betrayal of two of the original subordinates happened at the same time, which made Swire Airlines suddenly fall into a dilemma. "However, there is still a chance to resist!" Thinking of the seven independent directors, Norman Shi Yahuai narrowed his eyes, and a thought flashed in his mind. "Wade, the seven independent directors are the key. In the time before the interim board meeting, I will act together with you. As long as we win over one independent director, or one of them abstains, or four or more If independent directors are absent from the board of directors, Jiuding Industrial Group cannot get more than two-thirds of the votes." "It''s important to keep your chairmanship first!" Wade Shiya nodded his head: "I understand." ... When Shi Yahuai''s uncle and nephew were in close consultation, after initially meeting the seven independent directors of Cathay Pacific, Werry rushed back to Jiuding Building and came to Xia Yu''s office. "Chairman, I''m back." "Sit down and say, things are going well?" "Very smoothly, they are all under control. Fan Keming and Zhang Dasheng have fallen to our side. Now the key is the positions of the seven independent directors." Speaking of this, Werry drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat and talked about what happened at the Cathay Pacific shareholders meeting this morning. After hearing this, Xia Yu nodded slowly, and said with satisfaction: "It''s a good job, and the purpose of the plan has basically been achieved." Then Xia Yu turned around and said, "But how did you feel after the initial contact with the attitude of the seven independent directors?" Wei Li thought for a while and replied: "According to the situation we have just contacted, four independent directors have a friendly attitude, and the other three independent directors have a vague attitude. These three need to focus on their work." Xia Yu nodded and said with a serious expression: "In the next two days, you will make full contact with these seven independent directors. I will give you whatever support you want, and try to make sure that all of them will be on the temporary board of directors after three days. And vote yes." "If there are one or two diehards, let them not be there." "In any case, on the interim board of directors three days later, Wade Shiyahuai''s chairmanship must be removed and replaced by you, understand?" Wei Li nodded solemnly and replied respectfully: "I understand!" ... Xia Yu and Werry talked for a while, and then Werry left in a hurry. Watching Wei Li''s back go away, Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and thought. According to Cathay Pacific¡¯s ¡°Articles¡±, the number of directors of Cathay Pacific is fixed at 26. Swire Airlines now holds seven director seats but eight votes. As long as we seize seven independent directors this time and ask them to agree with Werry on the board of directors three days later, Werry will have 19 of the 27 votes, which is more than 70%. Kick Wade Shiyahuai from the position of chairman and then re-elect. After Werry successfully sits on, the vote that comes with the chairman position will be transferred from Swire Airlines to Jiuding Industrial Group Here. In this case, even if one of the seven independent directors is ignorant of current affairs, it will not affect Werry''s control of the board. At that time, we will seize the time to pass the private placement proposal to continuously dilute Swire''s shareholding ratio, and Jiuding Industrial Group''s control of Cathay Pacific will become more and more stable. As long as the plan is implemented smoothly and Cathay Pacific Airways is controlled, the listed company of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company will naturally be in the bag. At that time, Swire Airways has lost control of Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, which is a tasteless for the Swire Consortium. "The attitude of the seven independent directors..." "If someone is caught by Shi Yahuai''s family public relations, they seem to be arrogant to me, and come back three days later and suddenly turn back, then it would be a little troublesome..." Thinking of this, Xia Yu got up from the sofa, went to the desk and sat down, picked up the phone on the left hand side, and dialed a secret call. After the call was connected, Xia Yu immediately instructed the receiver: "Continue to keep an eye on the seven independent directors of Cathay Pacific Airways. The Shi Yahuai family will definitely look for them these days. I want to know the content of their conversations and step up collection. The black material of these seven independent directors..." "Patter!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu sat in his seat for a while, raised his hand to look at his watch, and found that it was only 12:03, more than 20 minutes before the stock market closed at 12:30. He got up decisively, went downstairs and drove to Jiuding Securities. PS: Ask for votes https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1004: Fateful meeting Operation room of Jiuding Securities Company. Xia Yu saw Wang Qizheng pointing Yuan Tianfan to the actual combat exercise, but did not notice his arrival. Xia Yu walked behind them, watched quietly, and soon smiled with satisfaction. "Ahem!" Xia Yu coughed softly, awakening Wang Qi, he looked back, and then respectfully greeted Xia Yu: "Chairman, you are here!" "Hello, Chairman!" Yuan Tianfan said hello to Xia Yu, and then turned his attention to the operation panel. "Take me to see the situation of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company!" Xia Yu told Wang Qi. "Ok!" "Please follow me, the project team is here." After Wang Qiying finished, he immediately led Xia Yu to a relatively closed office, which was relatively quiet. Walking in, Xia Yu saw three people inside, two of which were operating in an orderly manner, and the other was doing auxiliary work. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has its own set of perfect working system. Work is first at any time, even if the leader comes, work is not important. This work system can ensure that employees will not go out of business due to external factors in strict financial operations. So even if Xia Yu and Wang Qi came in, the three employees were still working attentively. Fortunately, Xia Yu''s level is higher than them, and he can get most of the data himself without their reporting. Xia Yu and Wang Qi walked behind the three of them and looked at them quietly. The opening price of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. was 4.72 HKD/share this morning, but the stock price has soared to 15.25 HKD/share. The real-time stock price is more than 3.2 times the opening price! This shows how fierce competition is for this stock! In fact, the same is true. Jiuding Securities tried bayonet as soon as it came, directly pegged the buy order at the double price, and instantly detonated the market. Then Norman Shiyahuai ordered Swire Financial to intervene to raise money at all costs. Both parties did not make concessions, and coupled with the fact that the publicly traded shares are already less than 8% of the total share capital, the stock price of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. naturally rose rapidly. It''s just that the stock price is high, but Jiuding Securities doesn''t buy many stocks in its account. The reason is simple. The real purpose of Jiuding Securities is not to snap up stocks, but to speculate prices! With the enemy in the dark, Xia Yu had known for a long time that Taikoo Airlines held only 23.42% of the equity. After a period of low-key fundraising by Jiuding Securities, only about 11.5 million shares are circulating on the market, which is equivalent to 7.66% of the total share capital of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. Even if all of the 7.66% of the shares are bought by Swire Airlines, it is impossible to increase the shareholding ratio to one-third! It''s just that the Shi Yahuai family is not clear about these circumstances. If Norman Shi Yahuai knew that Xia Yu had accumulated 44.12% of the shares in Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., then he should be able to guess Xia Yu''s true purpose. "Has the opponent confirmed his identity?" "Is it Swire Financial, or is it another agency commissioned?" After retracting his gaze, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi. Wang Qi immediately replied: "It''s Swire Financial. I asked people to investigate when they first stepped in. They didn''t hide it at all." Xia Yu nodded slightly and thought for a while and said: "Continue to increase prices and secure as much of their funds as possible. You have three days to operate today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." "In the morning after the day after tomorrow, I will ask people to do something to Cathay Pacific Airways. If it succeeds, then the 24.8% of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company held by Cathay Pacific Airways can be obtained. It¡¯s difficult to continue to push up the stock price." Wang Qi solemnly nodded and replied: "Okay, after the market opens that afternoon, I will arrange to increase the intensity." "Well, other than that, you arrange for someone to secretly purchase the stocks of all listed companies under the Swire Consortium, in case of emergency. Don''t sell them outside without my instructions." "understand!" ... At noon of the same day, the Global Satellite TV Economics column focused on commenting on the amazing increase in the share price of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. At the same time, what happened in the morning at Cathay Pacific Airways and Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company was also leaked out, and then spread out at an alarming rate. Compared with ordinary citizens who simply eat melons, the upper-class people in Xiangjiang pay more attention. After all, the two parties in the struggle are the leaders of British and Chinese capital, and it is obvious that the Swire consortium is at a disadvantage. The events of Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Consortium are still vivid, and everyone''s nerves are still sensitive. Now that this kind of thing is happening suddenly, these big guys are not paying attention. There are even more delicate-minded people who have already begun to think carefully and secretly raise funds in order to get ahead when the time comes. In the next two days, public opinion boiled like water. As the only listed company under Swire Airlines, HeungKong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. happened to be in fierce competition. The stock price directly exceeded 30 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the company''s market value Break through 4.5 billion and launch a charge towards 5 billion Hong Kong dollars! It is hard to imagine that this is just the market value of an auxiliary company supporting the aviation industry! Some timid investors and small institutions have already cleared their positions halfway through. UU Read stocks have basically entered the pockets of Swire Financial. The public''s attention is focused on the capital market, but the discerning people know that the key lies in the secret bloodless struggle. In the past two days, the seven independent directors of Cathay Pacific Airways were visited in turn, and there were only two choices, either to Swire Airlines or to Jiuding Industrial Group. Intimidation, temptation, intimidation and other tactics have appeared, making these seven directors torment, and personal and family life have been seriously affected. To the point that they can''t sleep at night and sleep peacefully, I can''t wait for the temporary board of directors to meet early. at last! When the first rays of dawn penetrated the clouds and spread across the bay of Victoria Harbour, June 17 finally arrived! Early in the morning, reporters squatted at the gate of Cathay Pacific Airways, all eagerly waiting, and on the periphery were many people eating melons. Werry considered this situation, so he reported to the Hong Kong Police Station in advance and applied for order to maintain order. Therefore, Cathay Pacific Airways pulled many cordons outside, and many police officers were in charge. Cathay Pacific employees need to go through layers of inquiries before they can enter the company. Even if they enter the company, what are they thinking about working? As time went by, senior executives and directors began to enter. When key figures such as Wade Shiyahuai, Wei Li, Song Bo, Baker Jerry and so on appeared, they all caused a huge sensation. The reporters acted like they didn''t need money on film, pressing the shutter like crazy. As soon as nine o''clock arrived, the Cathay Pacific Airways conference room closed and the interim board of directors officially began. The time to determine the fate of Cathay Pacific has finally arrived! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1005: Cathay Pacific changes ownership In the interim board of directors, the chairman is naturally the top one. Then from top to bottom are the vice chairman, managing director and ordinary director. Then sitting on the periphery are the senior executives and members of the board of supervisors. Wade Shiya was sitting in the top position with no expression on his face. In fact, the pressure in his heart was huge. Especially in such an extremely dignified occasion, the pressure in his heart was further increased when he saw Wei Li''s mouth smiling. Whether you can win the respite depends on today! Thinking of this, he glanced at the independent directors, with a sense of no bottom, thinking about the work he did yesterday, and felt a little calm. "Chairman, the time has come! Can the meeting begin?" At this moment, the secretary of the board of directors looked at his watch and asked Wade Shiyahuai. Wade Shiyahuai said blankly: "Yes." The secretary of the board of directors bowed slightly, then picked up the sign-book, and made a pre-meeting statement in accordance with the previous process: "This temporary board of directors should have 26 directors, but there are actually 20. Because six director seats are vacant, according to Swire Airlines Entrusted by the company, and the corresponding voting rights are entrusted to the chairman of the board...The number of participants meets the requirements of the company law and the company''s articles of association..." "Next, I announce that the meeting will begin, and the relevant directors will be invited to discuss and vote on relevant matters at the meeting." As soon as the secretary of the board of directors finished speaking, Werry blatantly launched an offensive, looking directly at Wade Shi Yahuai, and said indifferently: "Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai, as the chairman, do you have any suggestions for discussion at this meeting?" In an instant, the eyes of the participants in the conference room focused on the top Wade Shi Yahuai, and a series of inexplicable eyes made the mood very bad. "No!" Wade Shiyahuai glanced at Werry indifferently and uttered two words coldly. Werry smiled without anger, and said with a smile: "Since you don''t have one, then I will come!" "Send proposal materials to everyone!" After finishing speaking, Werry looked at the two people outside. The two people who had been waiting for a long time immediately hugged a pile of materials, and uncharacteristically began to distribute from the outside. As soon as the person who got the material read it, whether he had guessed it or not, his face changed drastically, making a watching Wade Shiyahuai feel more and more nervous. Finally, when the materials were finally sent to Wade Shiyahuai, he immediately opened the cover, and the title of the proposal on the first page looked particularly dazzling, making him subconsciously clenched his fists. At this time, Werry¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°During his tenure as chairman of the board, Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, the company¡¯s chairman, had problems such as unclear strategy, unclear management, and improper employment, which seriously affected the normal and healthy operation of the company. I propose Remove his current chairmanship!" "I disagree!" Wade Shiyahuai decisively opposed, and his voice was very loud. It''s just that Werry has heard of his foreign talents. He pulls his ears and mocks: "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, what are you doing so loudly? It scares everyone. Just agree to disagree with a show of hands. Don''t be nervous." Wade Shiyahuai snorted coldly, and did not go to quarrel with Werry. Werry smiled faintly, not caring. He glanced over everyone''s complexion, and said in a hurry: "For my proposal, everyone will vote by show of hands. The secretary of the board of directors and representatives of the board of supervisors will do a good job of counting the votes, and if they agree, raise their hands!" After speaking, Werry took the lead and raised his hand. Immediately afterwards, Baker Jerry, Song Bo and other 11 directors of his group all raised their hands. Then, four more independent directors raised their hands without squinting. Three independent directors did not raise their hands! Everyone in the room looked at these three independent directors. Especially Wade Shi Yahuai, subconsciously holding his breath. These three people are exactly the objects he and his uncle Norman Shiya have focused on reworking their work these days. They clearly agreed to him and would stand on his side on the interim board of directors. Now the three of them did not raise their hands, making Wade Shiyahuai feel a little bit...wait! Just as Wade Shi Yahuai''s mentality was somewhat relaxed, one of the three suddenly raised his hand slowly, causing Wade Shi Yahuai to stare. He couldn''t help calling the man''s name: "Jerome!" It seems that due to the sudden tension, Wade Shi Yahuai''s voice has become a little sharp and harsh, and the atmosphere of the venue has become more tense. The independent director named Jerome gave Wade Shiyahuai an apologetic look, then turned his head and stopped looking at him, still raising his hand. Seventeen votes! There are two people left without voting! Jerome''s betrayal of his promise made Wade Shiyahuai nervous, and his eyes on the other two independent directors changed. When he saw that one of them seemed to want to raise his hand, he couldn''t sit still, and immediately announced: "Yes, 17 votes, less than two-thirds of the total votes, the proposal is not approved!" Werry laughed at Wade Shiyahuai''s botched performance. He strongly attacked: "Wade Shiyahuai, please respect other directors. Director Elvis and Director Andrew have not voted yet. Why are you so anxious?" After that, Werry looked at the two directors, Elvis and Andrew, and said meaningfully: "Director Elvis and Director Andrew, everyone is waiting for you. After a long time, Wade Shiyahuai wants to deprive you. Has the right to vote!" Werry emphasized the word "deprivation" a bit more, and the warning was very strong in the ears of Elvis and Andrew. The two of them thought of the materials they had received earlier this morning, and finally chose to bow their heads and admit it. Seeing that the two of them didn''t look at themselves at all, and raised their hands one after another, Wade Shiya''s eyes were cracked, and he shouted in despair: "Elvis!" "Andrew!" "You deceive me!" Elvis was helpless, and there were many reasons in his heart, but he couldn''t explain it to the outside world. Who let him be caught by Werry! On the contrary, Andrew sighed in relief and sat silently, completely ignoring Wade Shiyahuai. Wei Li gave the two a satisfied look, then looked at the secretary of the board of directors and the representative of the supervisors, and ordered: "Count the votes and read it out!" After a little calculation, the secretary of the board of directors passes the result to the representative of the supervisor. The representative of the supervisor stood up and announced the voting result: ¡°As for the proposal to remove the current chairman of the board, the voting result is as follows: a total of 27 votes, 19 affirmative votes, 8 negative votes, and zero abstentions!" "The approval rate was 70.37%, more than two-thirds, the proposal passed!" After the results were announced, the whole venue was buzzing. Wade Shiyahuai was really kicked from the chairmanship! This gave the attending company executives a sense of unrealism, and unknowingly, their awe for Werry became even stronger. From now on, Cathay Pacific Airways has completely changed! "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, that position is not yours anymore, come down!" "Sit there and go!" Werry pointed to the only empty seat at the other end of the table and said to Wade Shiyahuai. He had prepared this vacancy a long time ago, just for this time! Wade Shiya''s chest rises and falls rapidly, as if he didn''t hear Werry''s words, he sat at the top and refused to move. Wei Li said mockingly: "Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai, if you feel that Shi Yahuai''s family still needs face, then you consciously step down from your position." "Humph!" Hearing the family''s name, Wade Shiyahuai''s expression moved slightly, and he took a deep look at Werri, then snorted coldly, got down from his position with a sullen face, walked to the empty seat and sat down. Werry nodded in satisfaction, then winked at one person. The person immediately said: "Now the company chairman position is vacant. In order to achieve better and faster development of the company, we urgently need a toasting chairman with strategic vision and superb management skills. I propose to re-elect the chairman now. I nominate. Mr. Werry!" "Mr. Werry is indeed very suitable, I agree!" "..." "Now proceed to the voting on the second proposal. If you agree, please raise your hands!" As soon as the board secretary''s voice fell, his nineteen hands were raised. No one is procrastinating this time! Even Elvis, Andrew and others raised their hands more resolutely and quickly! After counting by the secretary of the board of directors, the representative of the supervisor stood up and announced the result of the voting: "With regard to the proposal to elect Mr. Wei Li as the chairman of the company, the result of the voting is as follows: the total number of votes is 26, 19 votes in favor, 7 votes against and abstention Zero votes!" "The approval rate was 73.07%, more than two-thirds, the proposal passed!" "Papa..." In a burst of loud applause Werry got up, bowed to everyone with a smile on his face, and then strode up to the head and sat in the position of chairman. At this time, Wade Shiyahuai''s performance is no longer important. There are also some people secretly observing the changes in his expression, seeming to be watching jokes. Sitting in the position of chairman, Wei Li cleared his throat and said with full anger: "Thank you for electing me as chairman. I will definitely do my best... First, be diligent and responsible, and always put the development of the company first...2 It is solidarity..." With a few hundred words eloquently, what Werry said was a fluency. Obviously, he had prepared the inaugural speech of the new chairman a long time ago. "Papa Papa..." After a round of applause. Wei Li''s face turned straight and said: "Although I have just taken over as the chairman of the company, I have long been concerned about the company''s situation. Although Cathay Pacific is the only civil aviation company in Hong Kong, the company''s growth rate has not kept up. The speed of Hong Kong¡¯s development, the current shortage of aircraft, and the lack of air routes have severely restricted Cathay Pacific¡¯s international strategy to become a worldwide airline." "Company expansion is imminent!" "In order for the company to develop better, the company urgently needs a large amount of funds, which will be used to purchase and replace aircraft, open new routes, and expand company staff..." "In order not to cause a greater debt burden to the company, I propose to raise a certain amount of funds for the company in the form of private placement of shares. Please refer to the proposal materials for the specific content, and then vote!" PS: I can¡¯t stay up late, so I can only get up at 6 o¡¯clock in the morning and go to work after 8 o¡¯clock. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1006: Easily earned hundreds of millions After Werry finished speaking, someone immediately distributed the prepared bills to the participants. Wade Shiyahuai''s face changed drastically when Werry spoke. After getting the bill, I opened it immediately and searched for key sentences and numbers. "... After Jiuding Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Certified Public Accountants, Standard Law Firm and other parties have determined the assets of Cathay Pacific Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways is valued at 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the company¡¯s existing total share capital is 200 million shares. Nine Hong Kong dollars..." "...It is proposed to designate a private placement of 100 million shares to Jiuding Industrial Group at a price of nine Hong Kong dollars per share, and raise 900 million Hong Kong dollars..." "The funds raised will be used to purchase four Boeing 747 airliners..." After seeing these sentences and numbers, Wade Shiya trembled with anger, his white face was congested and turned dark red because of his excitement. "Snapped!" Wade Shiyahuai slapped the slap again on the table, shocking most of the people in the conference room, and everyone''s eyes focused on him. Seeing that he is so angry, people who have seen the proposal can naturally understand, but understanding is due to understanding. Now that the gods are fighting, they can only watch and watch the play quietly. "Werry, don''t go too far!" "The valuation of Cathay Pacific Airways in Economic Weekly is clearly 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. You are wantonly encroaching on the legitimate interests of shareholders. You are illegal!" "The China Securities Regulatory Commission will never approve it! You never want to succeed!" Wade Shiyahuai shouted angrily. No wonder Wade Shiyahuai is so angry. It is true that if additional issuances are made in accordance with this proposal, the interests of their Swire Airlines will be seriously damaged! At present, Swire Airlines still holds 37% of Cathay Pacific Airways. Based on a valuation of 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the value is 1,033 million Hong Kong dollars. If he is valued at 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, his equity is only worth 666 million Hong Kong dollars. It has shrunk 370 million Hong Kong dollars out of thin air! Although through layers of equity relationships, the actual loss to their Shi Yahuai family is about three. But even with three floors, there are more than one billion! In addition to the loss of assets, the decline in the shareholding ratio and the strengthening of the actual control of Cathay Pacific by Jiuding Industrial Group are also reasons for Wade Shiyahuai''s anger. According to this proposal, the company''s total share capital will be changed from 200 million shares to 300 million shares. The 74 million shares currently held by Swire Airlines will reduce the proportion of the company''s total equity from 37% to 24.67%. The shareholding ratio of Jiuding Industrial Group will increase from 54% to 69.33%! More than two-thirds! In addition, after the dilution of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, there is a cumulative total of 6% equity. Then the number of director seats belonging to Jiuding Industrial Group will increase to fifteen! Jiuding Industrial Group''s control of Cathay Pacific will be easier! Even if he won a few independent directors, it would not be a constraint. Not to mention that this time, if Werry maliciously dilutes their equity again and again, the loss will be even greater. So Wade Shiyahuai is now talking about anger, but what is hidden below is actually panic. Faced with the angry threat from Wade Shiyahuai, Werry said with a sneer: "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, I dare to mention this proposal. It must be within the scope of the law. If you don''t understand the law, don''t blame it." "As for whether the China Securities Regulatory Commission will endorse, that is a future thing, so you don''t need to worry about it!" After speaking, Wei Li said loudly: "For this proposal, everyone shows their hands to vote!" After speaking, Werry raised his hand again. A similar scene happened again. Except for Wade Shiyahuai, all those who were eligible to vote raised their hands. Wade Shiya''s eyes were cracked with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Werry savagely. But Werry ignored him directly! The secretary of the board of directors and the representative of the supervisors once again cooperated to count and read the number of votes: "The total number of votes for the proposal on private placement of stock financing is 27 votes, 20 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and the approval rate is 74%. Point 07, more than two-thirds, agrees with the provisions of the Company Law and the "Articles of Association", and the proposal is passed by a vote!" After that, everything is settled! Wade Shiyahuai was so angry that his chest seemed to burst. He couldn''t bear it anymore, and he didn''t care about his demeanor. He got up and kicked over the stool and left in full view. When opening the door, due to excessive force, the door of the meeting room slammed into the wall, making a loud noise, making most people in the meeting room look at each other. Outside Cathay Pacific. The reporters and the people who eat melons stared at the hot sun eagerly, no matter how little they chatted, their eyes would never leave the gate for three seconds. As Wade Shiyahuai''s figure appeared by the gate, the reporters waiting outside immediately became agitated. "Wade Shiyahuai is out!" I don''t know who shouted, and then reporters rushed towards him frantically. If the police hadn''t desperately stopped him, Wade Shi Yahuai would have been drowned by the crazy reporters. "Mr. Wade Shiyahuai, what has happened to make you so angry?" "Mr. Shi Yahuai, why are you the only one to leave the meeting?" "Mr. Shi Yahuai..." Listening to the noisy words, Wade Shiya, who was already in a bad mood, had a headache, especially when he felt that someone behind him was pulling his clothes to prevent him from leaving. He slammed it hard and turned his head and shouted: "Shut up. !" The journalist who was pushed rolled his eyes and yelled "I hit someone!" and fell to the ground. The besieged reporters were even more excited and kept pressing the shutter, filming the misery of the "beaten reporter" and the appearance of Wade Shiyahuai who left coldly. The atmosphere at the scene became more tense. Wade Shiyahuai''s bodyguards sensed that it was not good, and immediately stepped up their protection, and tried their best to cover the employer to squeeze the crowd into the car and leave. Although many reporters were unwilling to see Wade Shi Yahuai''s car driving away, they did not feel much regret. Although they didn''t get any useful information from Wade Shiyahuai, they could get it from other people behind. Instead, the scene that happened just now was a huge explosion. Some reporters have already thought about the news headlines for tomorrow, such as "Cathay Pacific Airways has changed dramatically, Chairman Wade Shiyahuai left in anger!" Another example is "Cathay Pacific''s chairman has lost control and beat reporters!" ... In short, after Wade Shiyahuai''s appearance, the people present are more and more expecting Wei Li and others to come out after the meeting. About twenty minutes later, Werry and others finally came out talking and laughing. Facing reporters, Verit stopped to accept interviews. Many other people also accepted interviews, and the whole story about what happened to the interim board of directors was fully reproduced in the minds of reporters. By noon, everyone in the upper class of Hong Kong knew the outcome of Cathay Pacific¡¯s struggle. Shi Yahuai''s family was defeated! Cathay Pacific Airways officially changed ownership and was overwhelmed by the Jiuding Consortium! In the first round of the Chinese Jiuding Consortium VS the British Swire Group, the Jiuding Consortium won! The capital market reacted faster. In an interview, Werry replied that the stock price of Heungkang Aircraft Engineering Company was seriously high and the market needed to return to rationality and would not intervene in the purchase of stocks. After that, Heungkang Aircraft Engineering Company''s stock began to plummet. Jiuding Securities has long since left. After receiving the report from his nephew, Norman Shiyahuai immediately asked the people of Swire Financial to stop buying stocks. Without the two main players, other small trash fish in the periphery simply can''t make the big waves, so it''s no wonder that the stock price does not fall. When the market was closed at half past twelve. The share price of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. fell to 13 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is a six-fold drop from the opening price in the morning! The market value has evaporated by more than two billion Hong Kong dollars! And the downward trend is still unabated. After the stock market restarts in the afternoon, it will definitely continue to plummet. Maybe it will fall back to its original market value, or even lower. This caused Norman Shiya, who had been watching, to vomit blood. Swire Financial has acquired more than 5% of the shares of HeungKong Aircraft Engineering Company at a high price in the past two days. If the stock price drops back to the original price, his loss will exceed 150 million Hong Kong dollars! It''s a fool! I believe that in the near future, this matter will be an afterthought for many people to talk about. When someone is worried, others are happy. When the Shi Yahuai family was overcast, Xia Yu was rewarding his powerful subordinates at the Peninsula Hotel after pushing the cup for a change. Xia Yu put down the wine glass and said to Wei Li next to him: "Wei Li, the next private placement will still need to be voted by the shareholders'' meeting. You call it as soon as possible, and I will deal with it at the Securities Regulatory Commission." "In addition to this matter, you also need to take over the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company and the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Service Company to ensure the stability of the company and not let the Shi Yahuai family disrupt them." Werry nodded and replied: "Okay, Chairman!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Qi on the other side, and said: "Wang Qi, when Wei Li completes the private placement, you will initiate another acquisition with Swire Airlines. The price can be pushed down from the beginning, anyway. We have taken the initiative, and if they know each other, they can relax the conditions a bit." "By the way, Dongfeng Airlines still has 20% of the equity in their hands, and I asked them to buy it back. It was originally mine." Wang Qi nodded his head and thought for a while and asked: "Chairman, how much is Dongfeng Airlines'' equity bid?" Xia Yu thought for a while, and said with a faint smile: "At most 150 million!" "You can bid 100 million. Let''s talk slowly. They have no other choice anyway." Now that they have completely turned their faces with Shi Yahuai''s family because of Cathay Pacific Airlines, Liangzi has already been formed, and it is impossible to untie them. It is better to continue to weaken their strength. It is a good thing to be able to lose tens of millions! In the case of tearing up their faces, their 20% of the equity is a shit. Since the company is not listed anyway, he can work with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong to kill the Shi Yahuai family. Asset transfer or private placement dilution, there is always one suitable for them! PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1007: Insurance company assets exceed 3 billion In the next few days, the street talk was all about Cathay Pacific¡¯s change of ownership and related news. After the Jiuding Industrial Group won the Cathay Pacific Airways, Wei Li successfully took over the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company and the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company. Needless to say, the Hong Kong Airport Ground Handling Service Company. Originally, Xia Yu held a total of 66.5% of the equity, and the remaining 33.5% of the equity, of which 4% It is in the hands of Cathay Pacific Airways, and only 28.5% of them belong to Swire Airlines. As soon as Cathay Pacific Airways changed ownership, Werry directly transferred Cathay Pacific¡¯s 4% stake in Xiangjiang Ground Services Company to Jiuding Industrial Group. As a result, Swire Airlines completely lost control of Heung Kong Ground Handling Services Company, leaving Werry to squeeze. As for Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, although it is a listed company, stocks are relatively difficult to collect, but who made Xia Yu''s early work done well? Originally, Jiuding Industrial Group and other companies held 44.12% of the equity, plus Cathay Pacific¡¯s 23.42%, which also crossed the two-thirds line. In fact, the Shi Yahuai family has already lost control of the troika under Swire Airlines. On the second day of taking control of Cathay Pacific Airways, Werry communicated with Wang Qi and disclosed the shares to the exchange together. After seeing that the Jiuding Consortium actually accumulatively controlled more than two-thirds of the shares of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering, combined with Werry¡¯s remarks that it would not be privatized and the company¡¯s share price was seriously high, the share price of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering had fallen even faster. Swire Financial¡¯s losses have further increased, making Shi Yahuai¡¯s family heartbroken. Just when the eyes of the outside world are attracted by these news. Xia Yu quietly came to Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. For his own insurance company, Xia Yu has visited very few times, far less than the number of visits to Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities. But this does not mean that he does not pay attention to Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. It¡¯s just because Jason Gregg made him feel at ease that he didn¡¯t need to mention anything, the later "Dutch Wolf" can make the company''s business flourish. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Jason Gregg greeted him quickly, and said respectfully: "Chairman, welcome you!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and walked in with Jason Gregg and asked, "Jason, what new progress is there in the company''s business development now?" Jason Gregg thought for a moment and smoothed his thoughts and explained the current situation of the company: ¡°Due to the intensity of competition and market capacity, despite the support of the entire group, the resources within the group have been digested. Now the entire Xiangjiang local Business development outside the group has slowed down." "So the company''s development focus has been officially adjusted to accelerate the implementation of its globalization strategy. It was just discussed and decided on the 6th of last month to expand the company''s market across Asia by acquiring local insurance companies in various countries." "Now, we are still doing the preliminary screening work. Thanks to the help of data from Jiuding Newspaper Company, the screening work is proceeding smoothly. It is expected that the acquisition plan can be officially launched next month." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and commented: "Your direction is correct, but you should note that M&A is not the key. The focus should be on the digestion of resources after M&A." Jason Gregg immediately replied: "Understand, in terms of the prerequisites for the acquisition, I put resource availability first." Xia Yu gave him an admiring look and continued to move forward. If according to the normal historical process, the global insurance industry develops to the late 1980s, there will be a global insurance industry M&A boom. At that time, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, there will be one global insurance giant, strong Yu Qiang. However, insurance companies that are limited by capital and cannot intervene in the wave of mergers and acquisitions are either eaten up or left far behind and their market share is robbed. In the insurance industry, the larger the size of the insurance company, the greater the advantage, and it is really difficult for small insurance companies to compete. Although Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. has consolidated its leading position in Xiangjiang on the basis of the original foundation and with the resources of the entire Jiuding Consortium, Xia Yu knew very well that Xiangjiang was only a small place with a population of several million people. It¡¯s not obvious in the world if it comes out here. Therefore, before the global M&A wave of the insurance industry has appeared, Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. can take the first step, continue to expand its business through mergers and acquisitions, and consolidate its foundation in Asia. Then relying on the basic business of Asia, it can have the confidence to follow Europe and the United States. Insurance giants compete. For this reason, Xia Yu supports Jason Gregg''s plan from the bottom of his heart. After a while, Xia Yu came to the office. Immediately after sitting down, Xia Yu wanted to know the current status of the company''s business in Hong Kong. He asked Jason Gregg: "Jason, have the development data for the second quarter been calculated?" Jason Gregg, who was preparing to make tea, immediately stopped his actions and replied: "Chairman, I have already done it. The data for the second quarter is included in the development data for the first half of the year, which happens to be in my desk drawer. Yes, I will bring it for you." With that said, Jason Gregg immediately walked to the desk, opened the drawer, turned out the company development report submitted by his subordinates a few days ago, walked up to Xia Yu and handed it to him. "Chairman, look first, I''ll make tea." Xia Yu gave a light hum, and opened the company''s half-year development report. In the first half of 1981, the company achieved premium income of 673 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 14.5%. The first-year regular premiums reached 127 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 14.2%, of which the first-year regular premiums for ten years and above reached RMB 42 million, a year-on-year increase of 42 million Hong Kong dollars. Ten one. Renewal premiums reached 433 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 12.7%. Short-term insurance premiums reached 71 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 23.9%... Hong Kong''s local insurance premium income was 433 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 16.6% of the total premium income share of Hong Kong in the first half of the year... Outside Hong Kong''s premium income was 240 million Hong Kong dollars... The amount of claims in the first half of the year reached 313.56 million Hong Kong dollars... As of the end of the reporting period, the company''s total assets reached 3,154.63 million Hong Kong dollars, and investment assets reached 2.99 billion Hong Kong dollars. In the first half of the year, the total investment income was 342 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total investment yield was 11.4%, a year-on-year increase of 1.3%; the net investment income was 286 million Hong Kong dollars... ¡­ Total investment income = net investment income + income from the spread of investment assets + gains and losses from changes in fair value-impairment losses on investment assets... ... After reading the report, Xia Yu has an in-depth understanding of the situation of Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. In the first half of the year, after deducting all costs, the net profit reached an astonishing HK$645.44 million! And the company''s total assets finally exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, far surpassing Jardine Insurance Consulting Group''s period. This result, seemingly outrageous, actually fits the actual situation of Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. Many companies under the Jiuding Consortium involve too many employees, and these employees have a lot of insurance, and then there is influence radiating. In terms of auto insurance, Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd.''s market share has grown by leaps and bounds, all due to the consortium¡¯s leading position in the local auto sales market of Hong Kong and its deployment in the field of auto manufacturing. There are also construction engineering insurance, marine insurance, fire insurance, personal accident insurance, commodity liability insurance, etc. Relying on the resources of the entire Jiuding Consortium, Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. is a strong player in the market share of its opponents. Under this circumstance, the premium income in the first half of the year was able to occupy 16.6% of the Hong Kong insurance market! Don''t think it is very small. Think about the number of insurance companies in Hong Kong as many as 341, and you can know the gold content of Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. in this proportion. In terms of capital investment, relying on nearly 3 billion investable assets, although the net profit of investment is not as good as the net profit of premium income, it is not far behind, and it has far surpassed most banks, securities, funds, and asset management companies. Up. In general, this development report made him very satisfied, and Jason Gregg did not disappoint his expectations. So it is appropriate to leave this matter to him today! "Jason The company is developing rapidly, you did a good job!" After commenting on a sentence, Xia Yu talked about the purpose of coming today: "The company''s investable capital volume is no longer small, and the level of investment business is also very high, and there is just one thing left to you." Jason Gregg readily nodded and replied: "Chairman, please give me your orders!" Xia Yu said: "It''s about the communications market." "One of the two companies in Xiangjiang¡¯s communications market, Xiangjiang Telephone Company, has been controlled, with a cumulative shareholding ratio of 53.2%, but the remaining shares are in the public market, except for a small part. In the hands of the Hong Kong Government and Swire Financial, so you don¡¯t have to bother about it." "The key point is the Dadong Telegraph Company. You are responsible for acquiring public shares other than the controlling shareholder and the Hong Kong government." Jason Gregg narrowed his eyes and asked, "Chairman, to what extent is the acquisition required? Are there any requirements for the operation?" Xia Yu ordered: "Press down the price as much as possible. There is no upper limit for stock purchases. The lower the cost, the better. You can control the specific intensity." Jason Gregg nodded in understanding. Only after a moment of silence and thought, he frowned and raised his personal concerns: "Chairman, I remember that Great Eastern Telegraph, the parent company of Great Eastern Telegraph, has a shareholding ratio of more than 40%. The Hong Kong government also holds 20% of the stock. If we want to acquire and seize control, it will be difficult to succeed." PS: In the past two days, due to work reasons, there was not enough time to update. I was really helpless. I was very hesitant to face the next plot. I took the fragmentary time to think about it. I finally rationalized the plot and ensured that it was logical. Go round. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1008: Eat the big cake of British Telecoms privatization Faced with Jason Gregg¡¯s worries, Xia Yu smiled indifferently and said indifferently: ¡°Jason, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. I made the overall plan, and you just need to implement it as I said.¡± Jason Gregg was taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully, "Okay." Next, Xia Yu asked Jason Gregg to take him around the company for twenty minutes, focusing on what he called the strategic plan for external mergers and acquisitions and expansion. Generally speaking, everything he saw and heard gave him Quite satisfied. Before leaving, Xia Yu pointed out to Jason Gregg: "Jason, when implementing the merger and acquisition expansion plan, if it is determined that it is a high-quality potential company, it can be bold without violating the company¡¯s main development model. Strive to become Asia¡¯s top insurance company within three years. If you don¡¯t have enough funds, you can apply to me, provided that your application can withstand the test." Jason Gregg''s face flashed with joy, and he nodded quickly and replied: "Thank you, Chairman, I will follow your instructions!" "Ok!" "You go back, I will come back when I have time." After that, Xia Yu got in the car and closed the door, then the car started and drove away from Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd., leaving behind the fighting spirit Jason Gregg. After leaving Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd., Xia Yu did not return to the group headquarters, but went to the Xiangjiang Telephone Company to inspect and guide the work. In terms of business development, he only made one request, that is, not to compete with Dadong Telecom''s Xiangjiang branch for the time being, and to focus development on optimizing and upgrading its own business. The reason for this request is that Dadong Telecom''s Xiangjiang Branch already partly belongs to him. Yesterday afternoon, Xia Yu received a call from George Berkeley in London about the privatization of Great Eastern Telecom, which he reported nearly a month ago. Just yesterday afternoon, the British Parliament finally passed the plan for the privatization of Great Eastern Telecom, and a total of 51% of the shares were sold to private capital. The equity distribution has long been secretly divided, and Xia Yu has become the most profitable party. Among the 51% of the shares released by the British government, Bright Fund took 7%, Standard Chartered Bank took 12%, and Barings Bank took 20%. The remaining 12% of the equity was taken away by other families. There are many reasons why Xia Yu can take so much. One is that Duke Howard and Prince Philip have worked so hard that they have directly removed political obstacles, and even under their connections, possible obstacles have become a boost. The second is the great influence of the Bright Fund itself in the upper echelons of the United Kingdom, plus George Berkeley, in accordance with Xia Yu''s instructions, put in place. The third is the high bid! Bright Fund and Standard Chartered Bank¡¯s quotations were the highest, and they also submitted highly operational reforms and business plans, which made the British government very tempted. Therefore, Guangming Fund and Standard Chartered Bank were able to obtain a total of 19% of Dadong Telecom''s equity. This is already the limit that the two can directly obtain. As for the Bank of Barings, which ate the largest cake, although it bought the most 20% of the equity, it was the most successful. Who made the Bank of Bahrain have two mountains, Duke Howard and Prince Philip? So in the face of such a telecommunications company that has a huge influence in the existing or original colonies in the UK, but has little influence in the UK and is still on the verge of loss, the major families in the UK have not reached the point where they must be contended. . When George Berkeley reported happy to Xia Yu, Rao was still excited by Xia Yu''s calm mind. The telecommunications sector is a very important part of the public service sector, and there is no doubt about its influence. Although the main business of Dadong Telecom is not in the UK, how can he who is familiar with the reforms of the British telecommunications sector not know how big opportunities there will be? In addition to the significance, the shareholding ratio is also a reason for Xia Yu''s joy. Although Standard Chartered Bank is not wholly owned by him, its secretly accumulated shareholding ratio has reached 84.6%, and it has absolute control rights. Therefore, Standard Chartered Bank won 12% of the shares. Equity went into his pocket. Needless to say, the 7% equity stake taken by the Bright Fund. As for the Bank of Bahrain, Bright Fund holds 20% of the shares, and then Jiuding Bank holds 25%. In fact, Xia Yu holds a total of 45% of the shares. Therefore, this time, the 20% of the equity that the Bank of Barings has eaten, after conversion, actually belongs to him. A simple addition of the three data shows that he has obtained 28% of the shares in the privatization of Dadong Telecom, which accounts for more than half of the cake. After listening to George Berkeley''s Annunciation yesterday afternoon, Xia Yu knew that the long-awaited time to completely monopolize the Xiangjiang Telecom market had arrived. Xia Yu ordered George Berkeley to immediately carry out the second phase of the plan, that is, to find a way to get Dadong Telecom to spin off the Xiangjiang branch. As long as it succeeds, Bright Fund will be able to hold 45.7% of Dadong Telecom''s equity and become the actual controller. Of course, Xia Yu was not satisfied with this shareholding ratio, so he planned to start with the stock market. Because of Wang Qi''s recent heavy work tasks, Xia Yu assigned the task to Jason Gregg of Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd., and only then did this morning. After deploying the mission, Xia Yu returned his focus to the layout of the aviation industry. On the fifth day after Cathay Pacific Airways held an interim board of directors, the extraordinary shareholders meeting was held again. The Shi Yahuai family knew that they could no longer stop here, and it was a crime to participate. Therefore, Swire Airlines did not send a representative at this extraordinary shareholders meeting, which made the reporters regretful. The proposed voting for private placement naturally passed smoothly. After approval, it will be immediately submitted to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for approval. According to the current "Securities Law" of Xiangjiang, privately issued shares by unlisted companies do not need to be approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. But who makes Swire Pacific, the parent company of Cathay Pacific Airways a listed company? With this relationship, the approval process of the China Securities Regulatory Commission cannot be avoided The Shi Yahuai family just wants to see if it can come back in this link. However, Xia Yu has long considered this point, so the share price of Cathay Pacific Airways was 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars instead of 800 million Hong Kong dollars during the private placement, because Cathay Pacific Airways'' net assets were about 1.72 billion Hong Kong dollars. As long as the valuation is not lower than the net assets, then the face of the China Securities Regulatory Commission can be justified, and the rest is to look at their own magical powers. At this point, Xia Yu was already fully prepared. Therefore, when Cathay Pacific¡¯s private placement plan was submitted to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, it would normally take three to six months to complete the review, but this time only one week later, the plan was reviewed and approved, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued it in accordance with the procedures. After the skin, the approved plan is legal and reasonable and can be implemented. After receiving the approval, Wei Li immediately implemented the plan, and Cathay Pacific¡¯s share capital has changed from 200 million shares to 300 million shares! Jiuding Industrial Group''s shareholding ratio in Cathay Pacific has finally increased to 69.33% on paper! After the success of Werri¡¯s action, Wang Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered the people to make another takeover offer to Swire Airlines, and the takeover offer finally came to Wade Shiyahuai. Today is different from the past. Wade Shiyahuai, who has already made up his mind, can only rush back to the family with the takeover offer, find his uncle Norman Shiyahuai, and report the matter to him. Taiping Mountain, the lobby of the Kadoorie family mansion. "Uncle, Xia Yu is extremely greedy, and now he has initiated an acquisition from us, what should we do?" Wade Shiyahuai looked at his uncle solemnly, wanting to know his decision. PS: The second one is delivered, ask for recommended monthly pass https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1009: Im so overbearing! Norman Shiya frowned and picked up the tender offer on the desktop and scanned it carefully. It was just that as he kept looking down, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter. When he saw it behind him, he was so angry that he was so angry that he threw the tender offer on the table with a "slap". "This is an insult to our Shi Yahuai family!" No wonder Norman Shi Yahuai was so angry that the takeover offer sent by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was simply too much. In his opinion, there was no sincerity at all. He wanted to suppress others and force them to submit! The takeover offer is for the entire Swire Airlines, and the price for a wholly-owned acquisition is HK$700 million! Only 700 million Hong Kong dollars! ! ! This is seriously inconsistent with the true value of Swire Airlines. There are four most intuitive assets in the hands of Swire Airlines, all of which are equity. The first part is the 28.5% equity of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company. According to the normal valuation of the entire company of 350 million Hong Kong dollars, the value of this equity is 99.75 million Hong Kong dollars, which is close to 100 million! The second part is the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways. The original shareholding ratio was 37%. According to the normal company valuation of 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the value should be 1.036 billion Hong Kong dollars. But there is no way, it was forcibly diluted by Jiuding Industrial Group, and now only 24.67% is left. If the valuation of the private placement is 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus the 900 million Hong Kong dollars for private placement financing, Now Cathay Pacific Airways is worth 2.7 billion, and this equity is worth 666 million Hong Kong dollars. The third part is the equity of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. After the original replacement part, 23.42% is left. Not to mention the calculation based on the company''s market value of nearly 5 billion Hong Kong dollars at the peak of the previous period. The current real-time market value, even if it returns to the normal market value of 710 million Hong Kong dollars, is worth 166 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the 5.3% of the equity acquired in the secondary market is still in the hands of Swire Financial. Norman Shiyahuai has not been transferred to Swire Airlines, so it cannot be included in the assets of Swire Airlines. The fourth part is the 20% equity of Dongfeng Airlines. The value of this equity is the most clear, which is worth 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Even without calculating the value of the office space, properties and personnel of Swire Airlines, the cumulative value of these four equity interests has reached 1.132 billion Hong Kong dollars! Adding other assets, the real deal is 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars! And under normal circumstances, company acquisitions have to be acquired at a premium, even if it is a random premium of 20%, there is a HK$1.44 billion, right? But look at the quotation of Jiuding Securities'' takeover offer, only 700 million Hong Kong dollars! This price is a huge insult to Norman Shi Yahuai! Compared with the first time Wang Qi personally sent the tender offer, the price of the tender offer reached 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now that the second tender offer is issued, and the purchase price of 700 million Hong Kong dollars is quoted, how can we keep Norman Shiyahuai from angry? In this takeover offer, Norman Shi Yahuai saw a line of words that did not exist but appeared brightly-I am domineering, I am bullying you! Wade Shiyahuai fully understands his uncle''s anger. When he first saw the takeover offer, his anger was no less than his uncle''s current anger. But on the way here, he gradually calmed down and thought of various influences and hidden dangers. The price quoted by Jiuding Securities is low, but if you are willing to negotiate, there is still room for negotiation, but it will definitely not be higher than 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars! After all, they have completely lost the initiative! At present, the four companies, Cathay Pacific Airways, Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and Dongfeng Airlines, are all determined by the Jiuding Consortium. They have completely lost the ability to defend themselves. If Jiuding Industrial Group continues to do the same as Cathay Pacific¡¯s private placement a few days ago, Swire Airlines, which has an asset value of 1.132 billion Hong Kong dollars, will continue to shrink substantially, and will it be worth 700 million later? Hong Kong dollars are hard to say! Jiuding Securities must also be based on this point, and they dare to shamelessly quote the price of 700 million Hong Kong dollars. But if you agree to sell, let¡¯s not talk about the loss. The key is that the hatred between the two is irreconcilable. If you want them to bow their heads, their Shi Yahuai family will become Xiangjiang¡¯s laughing stock and their reputation is discredited! Although the reputation is not good now... Seeing his uncle still in anger, Wade Shiyahuai did not speak, and waited quietly. a long time. "Huh~" Norman Shi Yahuai let out a long sigh and forcibly calmed his mood as much as possible. Seeing this, Wade Shiyahuai immediately asked: "Uncle, now that Jiuding Securities has sent a war note, how should we choose?" His underlying line is, do we want face or tickets, or both? Norman Shiyahuai said with difficulty: "Talk to them and sell it at a suitable price." After finishing speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai seemed to be unable to support the weight of his upper body, his back leaned on the sofa. It was too difficult for him to make this difficult decision. The hatred and humiliation in it were not something ordinary people could bear, let alone a big boss of his level. But from the point of interest, in the case of losing all the initiative, choosing to bow to Jiuding Securities is the best choice, and the loss will be even greater if you blindly confront it! Keep the green hills without worrying about no firewood, and when the result is doomed, first get back as many benefits as possible. Wade Shi Yahuai froze for a moment, his face was ugly, and he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but uncle, the price of 700 million Hong Kong dollars is too low. We must negotiate. What is the bottom line?" Norman Shi Yahuai contemplated for a long time, and said firmly: "One billion Hong Kong dollars!" Hearing this number, Wade Shiyahuai looked embarrassed and asked worriedly: "Uncle, our assets at Swire Airlines are now around 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. With the attitude shown by Jiuding Securities, their appetite is too great. Big, can we hold the bottom line of one billion Hong Kong dollars?" "The last time Jiuding Industrial Group diluted our equity, we lost 370 million Hong Kong dollars. If they came from other companies several times, they could easily cost us another 200 million Hong Kong dollars." "I''m worried they won''t let go easily!" Norman Shiyahuai also thought of his nephew''s worries, but he thought more. He replied: "This is just our preliminary bottom line. Let''s talk about it first. The longer the delay, the better, lest they free their hands and focus on our other companies." "You have to negotiate with a negative mindset. As long as they don''t completely lose their patience and want to warn us by diluting their equity, then drag on." "At the same time, you release information to the outside world and actively contact consortia in other countries to see if you can find other forces to take over and transfer the contradiction to other consortia." Wade Shiyahuai thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Okay, I will contact the consortium that has an intersection with our family After speaking, the living room fell silent. After a while, Wade Shiyahuai said with some anxiety: "Uncle, if we do not find other forces to take over, and finally sell the equity to Jiuding Securities, it will be a huge blow to our family¡¯s reputation and a bad impact. It will be extremely far-reaching, and I am worried that there will be a situation where a Chinese consortium will unite and besiege us. This was the case with the Jardine Consortium before. Facing Xia Yu¡¯s first wave of attack, the Jardine Consortium gave in and gave in. Then the Chinese people were excited and saw the weakness of the Jardine Consortium. Finally, they rallied and attacked. And the consortium completely disappeared. Now if they bow their heads to Xia Yu, "ceding up land for compensation", he is worried that there will be another scene of being besieged like the Jardine consortium. A Jiuding consortium is enough for them. If facing the siege of more powerful Chinese capital after the annexation of the Jardine consortium, Wade Shiya has no confidence in his heart. Norman Shi Yahuai also took this into consideration for Wade Shi Yahuai. He immediately said: "I have taken these into account, so I asked you to find other forces to take over and resist the pressure of the Jiuding Consortium for us." "On the other hand, delaying time also leaves enough time for us to restore our prestige and loss." Wade Shi Yahuai''s eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Uncle, how can we restore our prestige?" Norman Shi Yahuai narrowed his eyes, his eyes became cold and deep, and said quietly: "If it weren''t for the Song family to betray us, Cathay Pacific would not be taken away, and we would not be reduced to where we are now. They You must pay for your actions!" PS: First, ask for votes, I wish you a happy weekend! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1010: Song Family Call for Help It was not only the Song family who stabbed the knife, but also HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Cao Guangbiao. Forget about Cao Guangbiao and Huo Yingdong, they didn''t have a deep relationship with the Swire Consortium, and the cooperation was in the ground handling service company of Xiangjiang Airport. It was too difficult to retaliate, and it was difficult to operate. Norman Shiyahuai directly ignored them. Among the remaining three, HSBC and Standard Chartered are still above the Song family according to their closeness with the entire Swire Consortium and the Shi Yahuai family. And this time the knife was stabbed deeper by HSBC and Standard Chartered. In addition to stabbing the knife on Cathay Pacific, it was also stabbed on the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. But Norman Shiyahuai can only choose to ignore, who made HSBC and Standard Chartered the parents of the Swire Consortium? If he chooses to retaliate, the Swire Consortium will eventually lose more. The Song family is different. Strictly speaking, the Song family relied on the cooperation with their Swire Consortium and Shi Yahuai family. If it weren''t for their Shi Yahuai family, how could the Song family from the mainland have a firm foothold and flourish? The Song family came up by being a comprador of their Taikoo consortium. To put it ugly, the Song family is their servant and younger brother in the eyes of the Shi Yahuai family, but this servant and younger brother produce capable people and thrive on their big tree. Get up, have the qualification to eat at the same table with them. But now the servant didn''t care about the kindness, betrayed them, and caused them huge losses. From the mentality, Norman Shi Yahuai hates the Song family even more. Not to mention the comparison between Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. The Song family is undoubtedly a soft persimmon. It still holds shares in many companies under the Swire Consortium, but the number is not large. As long as it is simple to operate, it can be easily grasped. No matter how you look at it, the Song family is the best target for revenge. Norman Shiyahuai wanted to let the outside world know that although they lost to the Jiuding Consortium, the tiger is a tiger after all and can eat people! At the same time, he would like to use this to warn other brothers and partners in the Swire Consortium to make them realize the fate of betrayal! ! ! ... Hearing what his uncle said, Wade Shiyahuai''s eyes flushed, and he said angrily: "Yes, uncle, the Song family must pay a greater price, and our loss must be recovered from the Song family!" The hatred of the Song family in his heart is no less than Norman Shi Yahuai. After all, in the Shi Yahuai family, it is Swire Airlines that really belongs to his management and control. Now because of the Song family, Swire Airlines has suffered heavy losses, and the loss is imminent. In the entire Shi Yahuai family, his interests are the most lost. Without Swire Airlines, which has been in business for many years, it is difficult and time-consuming to get into other companies to rebuild the foundation. The point is that there are still people in each company and it is not easy to intervene. Norman Shi Yahuai glanced at his nephew and seemed to see through his inner thoughts. But Norman Shi Yahuai is not good at saying or making promises in this regard. He said to Wade Shi Yahuai: "Wade, you can do what I just told you, and I will do it myself at the Song family." Wade Shiyahuai nodded and responded, "Good uncle." ... The battle between the Taikoo Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium is already eye-catching, and public opinion is still not low. Under the deliberate promotion of Wade Shiyahuai, the news that Jiuding Securities wanted to acquire Swire Airlines spread out, and even the key information about the takeover offer spread. In order to achieve his goal, Wade Shiyahuai did not refuse to interview reporters anymore. Instead, he answered a few questions when he was besieged by reporters, indicating that he did not contradict the sale of Swire Airlines. However, he was concerned about some key issues such as price and sales target. When I waited, I was vague, leaving a huge room for imagination. Because Wade Shiyahuai did not resolutely resist the acquisition, even if Wang Qi guessed his calculations, for the sake of his face and image, he could not let Werry immediately retaliately dilute the equity of Swire Airlines. He could only keep an eye on Wade Shiyahuai''s movements while sending people to frequently urge Swire Airlines to try to speed up the negotiation process. In the midst of these disturbances, as the seventh grade students of Xiangjiang graduated, Jiuding University, which has been promoting it, once again stepped up its publicity efforts. All over the world are the soft advertisements of Jiuding University. And in order to recruit students with good academic performance as much as possible, to lay a more solid foundation for Jiuding University. Under Xia Yu''s guidance and approval, the wealthy Jiuding University directly announced a series of scholarship systems and work-study programs, which caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong and then quickly spread to the entire Southeast Asia. The scholarships are divided into full, special, first, second and third class. The lowest third-class scholarship has a semester of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. The full scholarship waives all university expenses, tuition, room and board, Free of charge for books, etc. In the work-study system, nearly a thousand work-study positions are directly announced. Although the salary is not as good as the salary in the society, it is enough for students'' living. As for the direct grant of scholarships to extremely poor students, Xia Yu was raised by a professor at a meeting at Jiuding University, but Xia Yu rejected it. It is not that he is reluctant to pay, but that he does not want students to think about getting something for nothing. The tuition fees of Jiuding University are not high. For students, as long as they are willing to practice in society during the winter and summer vacations, they can definitely earn university tuition. He also has the idea of ??letting his company provide practical positions, not only can achieve a win-win situation in many ways, but also enable students trained by Jiuding University to become familiar with his company in advance, which will help future talents to join . In addition, Xia Yu also pointed out to Wang Gengwu. After the candidates'' results were announced, the Admissions Office would keep a close eye on the top 100 candidates in Hong Kong and the top students in Southeast Asia, and find ways to recruit these students. If the full scholarship is not enough, then pay a different price according to the student¡¯s grades to do the work of the student¡¯s parents. The publicity offensive is parallel to other offensives. Whether you give money or solve the employment problem, as long as you think the student is worth paying. If the price does not exceed the bottom line, then smash it. Sure enough, after the examination results were announced, Jiuding University did just that. The enrollment quality of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University was far less than that of Jiuding University. Most of the smarter students were robbed, making the two universities jump in anger. , And even publicly accused Jiuding University of being tacky, using "money" to overwhelm people and affecting the school-running atmosphere... However, Xia Yu didn''t care at all. Wang Gengwu was also cheeky and ignored, using special methods in special times. In order to make Jiuding University grow better, what kind of accusations are there. When Jiuding University''s reputation is completely blown out, these criticized methods will naturally disappear. Amidst the disturbances, July entered in a flash, and the midsummer came. On this day, Xia Yu was blowing air conditioning instructions in the office. Song Bo entered Xia Yu''s office under the leadership of the reception staff. Just as Xia Yu asked Song Bo to sit down, Song Bo sighed, and the words he said made him frown. "Mr. Xia, I am here to ask you for help this time. Now, except you, no one can save my Song family!" PS: The second one is sent, ask for votes! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1011: Focus on the pillars of the Swire Consortium Xia Yu knew Song Bo''s purpose, and he had been waiting for Song Bo to arrive. He kept the Nets staring at the Shi Yahuai family, and every day information on all aspects of the Shi Yahuai family''s movements would be sent to him. Of course, he also knew that many companies under the Swire Consortium were preparing to convene temporary boards of directors. And these companies, without exception, all have the Song family holding shares! After Shi Yahuai''s family action, Song Bo could still last four or five days before coming to ask for help, which made Xia Yu feel a little surprised. It can be seen that Song Bo is really at a loss. But no matter how important things are, these few minutes are not bad. He said unhurriedly: "Mr. Song, don''t worry, let''s speak slowly." With that said, he personally boiled water to make tea. Now that I have seen Xia Yu, it doesn''t matter how fast or slow for a few minutes. Song Bo waited calmly. When Xia Yu poured him a cup of tea, he said thank you, took a sip of the tea cup and put it down again. Xia Yu also didn''t want Song Bo to think that his attitude was perfunctory, so he pretended to be ignorant of the situation and asked knowingly: "Mr. Song, did the Shi Yahuai family take revenge on you?" Song Bo nodded solemnly and told Xia Yu the real situation: "Yes, and Shi Yahuai''s revenge is very fierce. Now as long as the management personnel related to my Song family are all targeted, the Shi Yahuai family''s purpose is very high. It is clear that we want to completely eliminate the influence of our Song family." "In addition, the Shi Yahuai family intends to dilute our Song family''s equity in some companies in the form of private placement. The board of directors of many companies has been controlled by the Shi Yahuai family, and I can''t stop it at all." Speaking of this, Song Bo took a special look at Xia Yu, and his eyes had some cryptic meaning. Xia Yu used Swire Airlines in the past, but now the Shi Yahuai family uses the same method to manage their Song family. It is helpless to think of Song Bo. With Xia Yu¡¯s face, he would naturally not show an awkward expression. He directly asked: "Mr. Song, although it was expected before, but it really happened, I also sympathize, but since I promised, then I must not I will break my promise." "Just say, what do you plan to do? What do you need me to do?" In a large-scale war with the Swire Consortium, Xia Yu is confident that he will win, but the process will definitely be much more difficult than fighting the Yihe Consortium. After all, the Swire Consortium has learned the lessons of the Jardine Consortium, filled many loopholes and left a fatal key. Already very few. Xia Yu ordered people to deduced that only by normal commercial means, the Taikoo consortium can only be maimed, and it is almost impossible to be destroyed like the Jardine consortium, unless the Shi Yahuai family chooses to give up and leave Xiangjiang to return to the UK. Moreover, although the assets under the Taikoo Consortium are attractive to him, they are not particularly large. Therefore, after eating the fat of aviation, he does not particularly want to start a full-scale war with the Taikoo Consortium. But since he promised Song Bo, he will do it. Now he gives Song Bo the right to choose. How to fight and to what extent it depends on Song Bo''s meaning. It depends on his courage and appetite! Song Bo was waiting for Xia Yu''s words. He narrowed his eyes, stared at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and said firmly: "I hope Mr. Xia can help me, so that the assets of my Song family can be concentrated in the two companies of Swire Industrial Co. and Swire Trading Group. ." Xia Yu raised his brows and did not immediately agree, but instead smiled and asked: "Mr. Song, I don''t know if you have brought the details of these two companies?" As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Song Bo pulled out the information he had prepared in his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, please see." Xia Yu couldn''t help but said that he took the information, and after adding some tea to Song Bo, he said: "Mr. Song, you have tea first, I will finish reading the information." "Ok." In Song Bo''s gaze, Xia Yu opened the information, and the situation about Swire Industrial Group and Swire Trading Group came into view. The collection of this information is very detailed, it was collected by Song Bo after he decided to go to Xia Yu. It is related to the future of the Song family, so he can say that he did his best. Swire Industrial Group is one of the main listed companies under the Swire Consortium. It went public in December 1969. Its total share capital now reaches 285 million shares. With the Hong Kong stock market recovering, its market value is as high as 2 With more than 1.140 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is one of the top 50 large companies in Hong Kong. The Swire Group has six pillar companies, namely Swire Bakery Co., Ltd., Swire Sugar Co., Ltd., Swire Rubber Co., Ltd., Swire Machinery Manufacturing Company, Swire Textiles Company and Swire Paint Oil Co., Ltd. In addition, there are 12 other large and small companies that have invested in or acquired shares, and the total number of subsidiaries under direct management is as many as 18. And under the six pillar companies, there are more or less subsidiaries. In fact, the entire Taikoo Industrial Group has as many as 46 companies directly and indirectly connected. Such a large number of companies is the basis for supporting such a high market value of Swire Industries Group. To put it bluntly, even if the Swire Industrial Group is separated from the Swire Consortium, it will be comparable to most family assets in Xiangjiang. In terms of assets, Xia Yu roughly scanned it and skipped it. Although there are many good companies, it is not very attractive to him. His focus is on the equity structure. In the shareholding structure of Swire Group, HeungKong Swire Group holds 33.7% of the shares and is the largest majority shareholder. The second largest shareholder is the Shi Yahuai family fund, which holds 8.2% of the shares. The following eight announced shareholders and shareholding ratios are: HSBC 5.9%, He Group 5.6% of Hejia Hejia, 5.4% Song Group of Songjia, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Group 5.2%, Standard Chartered Bank 5.1%, Bank of East Asia 4.3%, Xiali Lira Group 4.1%, Sun Hung Kai Securities 3.4%. The remaining 16.8% of the equity is distributed in the hands of other companies, institutions and retail investors. Because the shareholding ratio has not reached the threshold of the top ten shareholders, it is difficult to collect information when the information is not transparent. However, Xia Yu can be sure that his Jiuding Securities Company must hold a lot of equity, but Wang Qi followed his instructions and hid it secretly without announcing it. The information of Swire Industries Group is condensed into this. Although Swire Commerce Group is an established company that the Swire Consortium relies on for growth, its size is far smaller than that of Swire Industrial Group, and it is not listed. The company¡¯s total share capital is 80 million shares. Its valuation in Economic Weekly is 840 million Hong Kong dollars. There are 13 subsidiaries under the Swire Trading Group, all of which are for commercial services. Among them, the four main companies are Swire Motors Sales, Swire Cold Storage Company, Swire Resources Trading Co., Ltd. and Swire Dinghan Co. . Similarly, after seeing the list of subsidiaries of Swire Trading Group, he initially judged that although these companies are valuable, they are not irreplaceable. Even if many companies compete with some of his subsidiaries, he still has no problem. The point where acquisition is not possible. In terms of shareholding structure, because it is not listed, Swire Group has stronger control over Swire Trading Group, which holds 57% of the shares. Then the second largest shareholder is the Song family, and the Song Group holds 12.4% of the shares. The third shareholder is a British family, and Stephen & Co. holds 11.7% of the shares. Then, Hysan Group of the Ricci family holds 7.3%, Wheelock holds 6.2%, and DCH Holdings holds 5.4%. ... Xia Yu looked at the entire document for more than ten minutes. When he put it down, he smiled slightly and said with a smile: "I have read the document carefully, Mr. Song, it is not that difficult for you to operate this idea. " "These two companies, Swire Industrial Group is a listed company, Swire Group and Shi Yahuai''s total shareholding reached 41.9%. Even if you want to grab it, it is difficult to get it completely. The key is that Shi Yahuai''s family is willing to let go. " ¡°It¡¯s even more difficult for the Swire Commerce Group. The company is not listed. The Swire Group directly holds 57% of the shares. Even if you take the equity of all other shareholders, plus your own, it will only be 43%. , Can only protect yourself." What Xia Yu said was the truth, and Song Bo didn''t go to quibble. It was precisely because of difficulties that he begged Xia Yu to come here. He is self-aware, and if he lets him do it himself, he will never succeed! So he said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, I know what you said, but I can''t help it. There is only one pillar of our Song family, and that is the Song Group." "But the business of the Song Group is mixed but not strong. It is more about holding equity in Swire Group companies. There are many types, but the shareholding ratio is small. It is a typical mixed but not strong form." "Now that the Shi Yahuai family is determined to retaliate against our Song family, it is easy to be defeated by them. Just like Swire Trading Group, although our Song family holds 12.4% of the shares, the Shi Yahuai family has reached an agreement with the Stephen family. , Has controlled the board of directors, and is now convincing Lijia and the Madden family that as long as they all reach an agreement, my equity will definitely be forcibly diluted and my interests will be seriously violated." "So I reflect on it. Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. I hope to exchange other shares for Swire Industrial Group and Swire Trading Group." "As long as Swire Industrial Group and Swire Commerce Group are in hand, plus our original Song Group anyway, I can leave a solid foundation for my Song family, even if I leave someday, I The family will not be too miserable." Speaking of this, Song Bo paused for a moment, looked directly at Xia Yu, and solemnly said: "Mr. Xia, I know this is difficult, but now the Shi Yahuai family is already infringing on my interests. I will ask them to replace them. They will never agree. Looking at the entire Xiangjiang, you are the only one who can get them to agree!" "I also hope that you can help our Song family. From now on, my Song family will only look forward to you!" "And I will pay the corresponding remuneration according to the rules." Xia Yu stared straight at Song Bo. Song Bo''s meaning can no longer be clarified clearly, that is, his Song family has been bullied. He came to worship the dock and asked Xia Yu to get him back and protect his interests. This request is not excessive. After all, Xia Yu had promised before. Although Song Bo''s request was big, it was only close to the sideline of the promise. Song Bo also knows that his request is very difficult, and if it is really successful, the Song family will reap huge benefits. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is to reshape the foundation of the Song family. So he wisely did not just hope Xia Yu fulfilled his promise, but decisively bowed his head to Xia Yu. As long as Xia Yu agrees, then the promise will be fulfilled, adding a more cohesive and stronger ally of the Song family, and earning a sufficient amount of commissions for the acquisition, no matter how you look at it. As for other interests, such as Xia Yu pulled off from the Taikoo Consortium, Song Bo wittyly didn''t mention it. Xia Yu analyzed these things with just a turn of his mind. It''s just that Song Bo is sincere and insincere! PS: Ask for votes, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1012: Covenant 3 In the face of Xia Yu''s gaze that could see through people''s hearts, Song Bo looked calm, his eyes met Xia Yu, and his attitude was sincere and clear, showing that he was not making random promises. For a long time, Xia Yu showed a smile. Seeing this, Song Bo put down most of his heart. Just when he wanted to ask Xia Yu''s attitude again. Xia Yu said before him: "Mr. Song, I understand what you mean, but before I promise you, I have to clarify some things first, lest there be a gap between you and me." "Let''s go one by one until there is no problem, can we?" Song Bo said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "First, if you want to achieve your goal, you can only go to full-scale war against the Swire Consortium. Then the whole Xiangjiang will be raging and the stock prices of listed companies of the Swire Consortium will definitely skyrocket. The market value of Swire Industrial Group is only about HK$2.14 billion, but once acquired, it is normal for the stock price to double or double. With the strength of the Song family, even if the Shi Yahuai family retreats, does the Song family have the strength to eat it? How much equity do you intend to acquire, or a wholly-owned acquisition?" Song Bo thought for a moment, and solemnly replied: "My Song family is not strong enough to acquire the Swire Industrial Group, even if it is a loan, it is enough, so as long as it can exceed 51% of the equity. Regardless of the price you mentioned, as long as you buy it for me, I will pay the purchase price and commission." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and this first question was settled. Then he asked: "Second, the plan belongs to the plan. I only promised to help you solve the pressure of the Shi Yahuai family. When a full-scale war begins, a large number of forces will definitely intervene. I can''t guarantee that no one will intervene in the acquisition of Jiuding Industrial Group. With Jiuding Trading Group, I can¡¯t guarantee that the Shi Yahuai family will sell the shares to others. If this happens, I will try my best to help you buy it, but the more important thing is to solve it by yourself. I can¡¯t Guarantee to fight other forces, no problem, right?" In fact, the probability of Xia Yu''s problem is extremely low. After all, with the power of the Jiuding Consortium, no one in Xiangjiang should dare to **** prey from him, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of it. What if it is from the European and American forces? He can never go to war directly, right? So you have to leave a way for yourself. Song Bo didn¡¯t believe that he would be so unlucky. Even if it happened, I can¡¯t blame Xia Yu, so he nodded and said, ¡°No problem, if it does happen, then I think I¡¯m unlucky. It¡¯s my Song family who is not so lucky. You have nothing to do!" Xia Yu finally made another request that was not a requirement: "Thirdly, the Song family understands the Swire Consortium better than I am, and also holds shares in many companies. Once I have a full-scale war against the Swire Consortium, the Song family will not only stare at you The Swire Industrial Group and the Swire Commerce Group who need it must also unconditionally assist me in other aspects. Fighting opportunities are changing rapidly. Once the opportunity is not seized, it will be too late to regret. We have to catch the Shi Yahuai family by surprise, and stand firm before we can fight." "Mr. Song, you should know that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me. Once I or my affiliated company do something, it will definitely be deeply interpreted, which will cause a series of effects. Therefore, we are not suitable to come forward in the preliminary stage. " "Outsiders don''t know the agreement between our two parties. Now that the Shi Yahuai family is targeting you, it is only natural for you to fight back. The acquisition of equity in other companies will not arouse suspicion." Song Bo nodded very understandingly, his eyes firm, patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Xia, what you said is very reasonable, don''t worry, I will be your vanguard in this war. I will do whatever you ask me to do. There is no difference!" Xia Yu laughed and said with a polite fist, "Mr. Song, if you say so, then I won''t let you down. I have agreed to your request and I will definitely help!" "Then please Mr. Xia, I will use tea instead of wine, to you!" Song Bo also gave Xia Yu a fist, said with a cheerful smile, and raised his teacup to respect Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn''t say much, picked up the tea cup and gently clinked with Song Bo, and said boldly: "Happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" Song Bo finished speaking and drank the tea in one cup. After Xia Yu put down the teacup, he looked down and said to Song Bo: "Mr. Song, we must make a comprehensive plan before we do it. I need detailed internal information of the entire Taikoo consortium, especially some deeply hidden information that is only inside you. The core personnel know that this information is used well, and it may have miraculous effects." "I understand, I have been collecting it. The debt scale and maturity of many companies of the Swire Consortium, accounting issues, etc., in short, I have collected all the ugly things, when do you want it?" Xia Yu took a deep look at Song Bo, and secretly said an old fox, the older he is, the more demon he is. As long as Song Bo does not die, the Song family can stand tall! But that''s good, he is not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. As long as he is in one day, Song Bo will never dare to betray him, and as he is young, he can kill Song Bo, so the more demon Song Bo benefits him, his power will be stronger. Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "It should be sooner rather than later. The information you have collected now will be handed over to me as soon as possible. Two days later, I will convene a think tank to make a preliminary plan. I will notify you to join the conference." Song Bo immediately replied: "Okay, I will send the information right away after I go back and organize it, and I will attend the meeting on time in two days." Now the Shi Yahuai family is taking revenge on the Song family, he is also anxious ~ www.novelhall.com~ can¡¯t wait to start the war right now, but he has not lost his mind, knowing the importance of the perfect preparation in the early stage, so in the face of Xia Yu¡¯s request, he Will do my best to do it. He made up his mind, and after returning home, he once again increased his efforts to collect information, striving to obtain more favorable information and increase the bargaining chip for victory in the war. Later, Xia Yu talked with Song Bo about some precautions, Song Bo kept it in mind, and then solemnly said goodbye to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu sent Song Bo, he returned to his office again. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, he looked at the endless sea in the distance, his chest was alive, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He somewhat looked forward to the war against the Taikoo Consortium this time. Although because of the lessons learned from the Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Consortium, the Shi Yahuai family has strengthened the control of the entire Swire Consortium, making it more difficult for him to start. But this time it is different from the Jardine Consortium, which is the head of the top four British consortia, because this time there is the Song family, the leading party! No matter how strong the fortress is, as long as it is destroyed by internal forces, it can be destroyed. The Swire consortium is so large, Xia Yu does not believe that the Shi Yahuai family can do everything, nor does it believe that the Swire Group does not hide dirt. Even though the Shi Yahuai family controls the Swire Consortium through layers of cross-holding and family fund holdings. But sometimes it''s not that you can sit back and relax with more shares. As long as you can find fatal loopholes and make full use of them, the more shares you hold, the more losses and pressure you will bear. For a long time, Xia Yu smiled and said to himself: "It''s just that the secret information collected by the Song family is not very effective... If there are some accounting problems..." "Ha ha¡­¡­" PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1013: I want Hong Kong stocks to turn into a bear market! In the afternoon of the same day, Song Bo sent the collected information to Xia Yu. After browsing, Xia Yu gave the information to the think tank and asked them to prepare immediately, and came up with a preliminary plan during the meeting two days later. . Two days later, when Song Bo came again, Xia Yu closed the door and held a secret meeting. The preliminary plan was approved by him. After setting the general direction, Xia Yu was ready to let his financial company secretly do it. Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Liu Tianci. The slight information mentioned in the call dispelled the idea of ??going to Jiuding Securities Company and ordered Liu Tianci to come to his office immediately. After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu thought for a while, then called Wang Qi and asked him to come to his office, and then he fell into deep thought. After more than twenty minutes, Liu Tianci came in quietly. "Chairman, I''m sorry I am late." After speaking apologetically, Liu Tianci smiled and nodded at Wang Qi who stood up. "From Central to here, your speed is faster, sit down and talk!" After signalling Liu Tianci to sit down, Xia Yu also walked down from the desk and sat down on the sofa. He went straight to the subject and asked: "God, what you mentioned on the phone just now, let me repeat it in detail now." "Wang Qi, listen carefully, this matter is extremely important." Xia Yu told Wang Qi again. It is rare for Wang Qi to see Chairman Xia Yu''s attitude like this. He nodded his head heavily and raised 120% of his attention. His body was slightly in front of Qin, and his eyes were staring at Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci thought for a while and said in detail: "Chairman, just this morning, the Heung Kong Bank Association held a regular meeting with all members present, mainly to discuss how to deal with a series of negative impacts brought about by the appreciation of the US dollar." "According to market feedback, the interest rate gap between the Hong Kong dollar and the Eurodollar has reached three and a half percent, and the US dollar is still rising. The exchange rate risk has further increased. The capital of Hong Kong has already formed an outflow. The investment environment has deteriorated. If we no longer want to stop capital outflows, the amount of capital in Hong Kong will decrease and banks¡¯ operating risks will further increase..." "HSBC proposes to raise interest rates by about 1% in various interest rates to hedge against the impact of the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and to wipe out interest spreads as much as possible..." Hearing Liu Tianci''s constant remarks, Wang Qi''s brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and his heart could not be calm. HSBC, as a note-issuing bank, is now proposing to raise interest rates, so other banks will definitely support it, which can reduce their risks. To raise interest rates is to raise interest rates, not only deposit rates but also loan rates. When the interest rate increases, it means that the cost of borrowing for people increases, and the burden on those who lack funds is heavier, and their borrowing needs will be restricted, which increases their burden. Just depositing will increase income. Once all banks in Hong Kong raise interest rates uniformly to attract short-term capital inflows from outside and reduce or eliminate the deficit, the bank deposits will increase. but! Raising interest rates will increase the investment costs of manufacturers. When the interest rate level rises, on the one hand, consumption will be reduced and savings will be increased, which will expand the supply of social funds, which may expand social output. On the other hand, it may inhibit investment and reduce social output. Even if external funds return, most of them will enter the banks. The existing capital in Hong Kong is already so much. If there are more deposits in banks, less money will be invested in the capital market, and the trading volume of the stock market will fall. This is a bit disadvantageous for investment institutions such as Jiuding Securities. If the stock market funds do not circulate well, and if you are not careful, the stock market will fall! ... After Liu Tianci finished speaking, Wang Qi asked impatiently: "Mr. Liu, according to what you just said, HSBC is only proposing for the first time. Do you personally think that the interest rate hike proposal will be passed 100%?" Liu Tianci pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Wang, I can''t guarantee 100%, but in my personal opinion, 99% will pass, and it will not take more than half a month. The key now is to be specific. The amount of interest rate hike." Wang Qi''s face sank, his brows furrowed, his fists clenched subconsciously. Xia Yu glanced at Wang Qi and said faintly: "Wang Qi, don''t worry, I think this will happen 100%, it can''t be stopped, and there is no need to stop it." It is no wonder that Xia Yu has this attitude, because he knows the real situation of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate. The Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the U.S. dollar since 1972, but this peg is learned. Currently, Hong Kong does not implement a linked exchange rate system, so although the Hong Kong dollar has always fluctuated with the U.S. dollar at 4.6 to one, it is not the fixed 7.8 to one of the later generations. Therefore, under this exchange rate system, the Hong Kong dollar¡¯s Free exchange rate is freedom, but uncontrollable and risky are also greater. And now, Hong Kong does not have a Monetary Authority, only the Exchange Fund Management Bureau and the Office of the Supervision of Banking. The Office of the Supervision of Banking is not even as powerful as the Hong Kong Banking Association, which was transformed from the Hong Kong Foreign Exchange Bank Association at the beginning of this year. The right to issue money is concentrated in the hands of HSBC and Standard Chartered. Although the Hong Kong government has the right to issue money, it is only 10%. However, the Exchange Fund Administration is limited by the exchange rate system and is not particularly capable of controlling and intervening in foreign exchange. Therefore, the Hong Kong Banking Association can do it on its own, just like the Federal Reserve, raising the bank exchange rate, which indirectly affects the exchange rate. anyway. Seeing that Wang Qi¡¯s brows were still not fully stretched, Xia Yu continued: ¡°Even if the Hong Kong Banking Association does not make adjustments, then the interest rate difference will always exist, funds will continue to flow out, and the funds flowing into the stock market will also decrease. At that time, not only investment institutions will be unlucky. , The bank is also unlucky." "The two powers harm each other, whichever is less." "A rate hike by the Association of Banks is better for the whole of Hong Kong than being indifferent." "The key now is how to deal with the upcoming bear market." Bear market! ! ! As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Wang Qi was agitated, looked at Xia Yu abruptly, and asked nervously: "Chairman, do you think the stock market has reached its peak now?" Liu Tianci also fixed his eyes on Xia Yu, also nervous, his brain quickly analyzed why the chairman made such a judgment. Will the consequences of an interest rate hike announced by the Association of Banks be so serious? Xia Yu smiled slightly and did not answer Wang Qi''s question, but instead asked, "Wang Qi, where is the Hang Seng Index now?" Without hesitation, Wang Qi reported the constant index amount after the market opened this morning: "One thousand eight hundred thirty-seven!" Xia Yu asked again: "Recall the situation of the previous few years, is the current HSI high or low?" Wang Qining thought about it for a long time. When he thought of going further, he felt a bit dry in his mouth. He nodded and said: "It''s already very high, even exceeding the peak of the stock market crash in 1973, creating a record high for Hong Kong stocks!" "But the chairman, although the enthusiasm for stock trading is high now, investors are not as crazy as they were in 1973, and after so many years of development, the capacity of Heung Kong''s capital market has far exceeded that before." He was the one who experienced the terrible stock market crash in 1973, and he also knew the madness of the stock market at that time. There have been some crazy phenomena in the market, such as "shark fin fishing for rice", stockholders resigning full-time stocks, "abalone porridge", "fish eggs made with mouse spots", and "lighting cigarettes with Daniel (HK$500 banknote. There is also a joke among the people that there is also a stock exchange in the Qingshan Mental Hospital, which is specially designed for people who are nervous about stock speculation. The Hong Kong government had to find excuses for all fire hazards in the transaction, and dispatched firefighting to forcefully expel investors in order to cool the stock market. At that time, the Hang Seng Index reached 1,774.96 at its craziest, and then fell to a trough of 150.11 in nine months, with a drop of 91.5 percent. Although today''s Hang Seng Index surpassed the peak of the stock market crash in 1973 and created a record high for Hong Kong stocks, Wang Qi can be sure that although the market is hot, it is definitely not crazy! Wang Qi didn''t realize that it was not because he was unable to do so, but because there were many reasons for this bear market. Interest rate hike alone was not enough to cause the stock market to crash. Xia Yu knows very well that this bear market can be regarded as a policy market. The interest rate hike has made the stock market fluctuate, but it is because of the future problems of Xiangjiang that the market panic and the stock market fall are important reasons. Due to his reasons in this life, the changes have been great. For example, the current HSI has exceeded the peak of the stock market crash in the previous life. However, Xia Yu, who has been watching the general trend, is not panicked. Although the memory of his previous life cannot be fully believed, he has a self-knowledge that some things can affect, but some things cannot be interfered by him, such as the future of Taiwan Province and Xiangjiang. . He deeply affected Xiangjiang, but the mainland has been staring at Taiwan Province. Xiangjiang is an experimental field, which cannot be changed. Xia Yu believes that the four-character policy for later generations must be brewing, and the time to live is not far away He must be able to get news in advance. Moreover, his energy can also offset the negative influence, the key depends on whether he is willing to do it! Before, he thought about actively stabilizing the situation in Xiangjiang, but after returning from staying in the United States for a while, he saw that the merger of the four stock exchanges had been slow to make progress. Looking at the Hong Kong stock market with loopholes and imperfect systems, he was not satisfied! Xiangjiang is his lair, and he also wants to build Xiangjiang into an international financial capital, but now the Hong Kong stock market is full of loopholes, and a rotten bucket with holes everywhere has to go away even if it is full of sands! The merger of the four institutes is to rebuild a new barrel, but the progress of building this new barrel is too slow, and things will go wrong! Now that the Banking Association will raise interest rates soon, the stock market is destined to fluctuate. The key to falling or rising depends on whether he interferes or not, and how he wants the stock market to go. Now his attitude is very obvious, he wants the Hong Kong stock market to become a bear! It''s just that some things didn''t happen in it, and he couldn''t provide evidence, so it was inconvenient to tell Wang Qi. So he could only answer domineeringly: "Wang Qi, your analysis is correct, but I need the Xiangjiang stock market to become a bear market!" Wang Qi suddenly looked at Xia Yu dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. Liu Tianci frowned, trying to figure out what Xia Yu meant. For a long time, Wang Qi asked eagerly: "Chairman, aren''t you planning to go to war against the Taikoo Consortium?" "Once both of us start to fight, the stock market trading volume will surge. The Hang Seng Index will go up. It should be able to offset the negative impact of the bank association''s interest rate hike. How can this bear market start?" PS: I opened a big pit without filling a hole, checked the information for a night, and learned a lot of things, one pit after another, and all of them were pulled into the water. I was excited when I thought of the following plot. Ask for a recommended monthly pass! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1014: 970 million! "How to drive?" "Open first, then open, then open again!" Xia Yu smiled and said that in the plan he had just used for more than 20 minutes of waiting, these eight words were enough to run through the entire plan and were the core purpose of the action. Wang Qi frowned, analyzing what the chairman was going to do. Is it short? However, if you are short, the stock prices of the listed companies of the Swire Consortium have fallen. The cheap one is the Shi Yahuai family, which is contrary to the purpose of acquiring the companies under the Swire Consortium. If it is not short, what should we do? Unable to figure it out, Wang Qi asked: "Chairman, does the hunting Swire Consortium''s plan need to be adjusted?" Xia Yu said with a smile: "The second half of the original plan needs to be adjusted, and the first half will continue as usual." "In addition, we will supplement and expand the original plan." Wang Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took a lot of effort to do the previous tasks, and fortunately, they weren''t used as waste. "Well, you don''t have to waste your brain to guess. I will tell you the outline of the plan." Then, Xia Yu continued to tell, Wang Qi and Liu Tianci listened intently, and the more they listened, the brighter their eyes became. More than an hour later... Liu Tianci and Wang Qi put forward some personal suggestions on Xia Yu''s plan. Xia Yu adopted and integrated into the plan as appropriate, and a more complete overall plan appeared. Xia Yu solemnly commanded the two of them: "Godsend, Wang Qi, the general direction of the plan is this. The specific operation is uncertain. Act according to the situation. If there are uncontrollable changes, please report to me at any time." "understand!" "Yes!" Liu Tianci and Wang Qi responded successively. Xia Yu nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Qi, and said again: "Now the Song family can still last for a while. In this short period of time, Taikoo Airlines must be taken down first, and they can''t be delayed. Yes, you can contact Werry at any time, and the two of you will work together." After hearing about the plan just now, Wang Qi also knew that delaying for a long time was not a good thing, so he solemnly replied: "Okay, I will speed up the progress." "Ok." Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci again and said, "God, you also make adjustments immediately according to the plan I said, and make sufficient preparations to strive for more benefits in the future." "The Association of Banks strongly supports HSBC and completes the interest rate hike as soon as possible." "The completion of the interest rate hike and the end of the acquisition of Swire Airlines are both completed. It is time for the plan to start. Don''t bother you." "Don''t worry, Chairman, I will wait to find President Liddell to promote the interest rate hike policy together." Liu Tianci replied. ... This time, Xia Yu did not notify Song Bo of the temporary strengthening plan. Anyway, he will do his best to fulfill his promise and Song Bo''s request. Things like this kind of huge opportunity, let Song Bo know that it does more harm than good. In the afternoon of the same day, the acquisition team of Jiuding Securities went to Swire Airlines again. At the same time, Wang Qi mobilized a larger amount of funds to flood into the stock market, not only acquiring shares of companies related to the Swire Consortium, but also other potential blue chip stocks as his acquisition targets. The difference is that Wang Qi''s actions this time are more secretive. Only a small number of them are directly under the name of Jiuding Securities'' funds, and most of the funds are shelled or anonymous accounts. For non-Swire consortium-based blue chip stocks, the buying power is very strong, while for Swire consortium-based company stocks, the power is smaller and relatively hidden. In this way, even if the trading volume of the Swire Consortium''s stocks has increased, it can still keep up with the increase in the overall trading volume of the market. It is far less dramatic than the trading volume of some blue-chip stocks and will not alert the Shi Yahuai family. In the next few days, the newspapers of Jiuding News Company focused on reporting the dispute between the Shi Yahuai family and the Song family. After the enthusiasm became popular, other media followed suit and reported that the matter was raging. Both parties were under tremendous pressure. Instead, it gets more intense. The Shi Yahuai family continued to suppress the Song family. Two of the companies successfully held an interim board of directors, successfully diluting the Song family¡¯s equity, causing the Song family to lose a lot. The Song family is somehow a veteran Hong Kong giant, and always has some background. Song Bo, an old fox, is also very skilled. It constantly visits all related shareholders, temporarily stabilizes some shareholders through interest exchange and promises, and even signed an agreement. The actor agreement prevented the Shi Yahuai family from gaining an all-round advantage, and the Song family was finally not taken away by a wave. The evening after seven days. Shi Yahuai family mansion. "...I have looked for many powers and local consortia. Most of the powers who know it are trying to take advantage of the fire. The asking price is very low. Obviously they want to make quick money and will not confront the Jiuding Consortium." "Even if the forces that didn''t know the details showed interest at first, they changed their minds after a few days. It was obvious that they flinched after inquiring about the situation." After talking about these situations, Wade Shi Yahuai sighed, with a sad expression on his face, complaining to his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai: "Uncle, our plan should have been seen through by Jiuding Securities, and now I really can¡¯t stand it. Up." "We had another negotiation with Jiuding Securities this afternoon. The process was very difficult. The representative of Jiuding Securities even said that the only way out for Swire Airlines was to be acquired by them. The negotiation once reached the edge of collapse. Break up unhappy." "Just less than an hour after Jiuding Securities Company left, I received a notice that Wei Li, as the chairman of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company, proposed to hold a temporary board of directors two days later." "If they didn''t guess wrong, this time they want to dilute our equity in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company." Speaking of this, Wade Shiyahuai was extremely unwilling and aggrieved, but he was unable to prevent this from happening. Regardless of whether the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company are all controlled by Werry, Swire Airlines can only accept it. It depends on Werry''s mood. He did his best to delay the time according to his uncle''s request. It has been delayed for 20 days, and it is really at the limit! Norman Shi Yahuai was silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Jiuding Consortium won''t let us delay the time. There is no way. Now that we have reached this point, we will sell the company." "Resolved the dispute with the Jiuding Consortium, shrinking capital and focusing on cleaning up the Song family." Wade Shi Yahuai silently asked for a long time: "Uncle, shall we take the initiative to find Jiuding Securities?" Norman Shi Yahuai said with some interest: "Two days later, it will be the board of directors of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Service Company. In the past two days, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will definitely not take the initiative to come to the door, instead of waiting for its interests to be invaded. , It is better to lower your head and contact them." "Anyway, at this point, I''ve lost my face in front of the Jiuding Consortium, not much worse." "Even if you take the initiative to negotiate with them, the benefits will be damaged, the loss will be relatively smaller." Wade Shiyahuai nodded and did not speak. For a while, the living room quieted down, and the grasshopper''s cry from outside the house seemed so loud. In the afternoon of the next day, Swire Airlines took the initiative to contact Jiuding Securities to request a new round of negotiations. The atmosphere of the negotiation this time was quite intense, but it was always controlled within an appropriate range. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was also very restrained. The reason was that Wade Shiyahuai did not negotiate perfunctorily, nor did he kill a price without letting go. As the negotiations continued, the quotations of the two parties continued to move closer. It was not until four o''clock in the afternoon that the two sides finally reached an agreement. Perhaps because of the intervention of Jiuding Industrial Group, Norman Shiyahuai still failed to hold on to the bottom line explained by his uncle last month, and the price fell below one billion Hong Kong dollars! Jiuding Securities Company wholly acquired Swire Airlines at a price of 970 million Hong Kong dollars! From the beginning of April to the end of mid-July, it took nearly three months, and the Cathay Pacific Airways acquisition battle was finally successfully won! Wang Qi informed Wei Li the first time that the two went to Jiuding Building together to report good wishes to the chairman Xia Yu! PS: Xia Yu is going to see the future father-in-law tonight, Wang Qi is empty, and I will talk about the matter tomorrow, so it¡¯s gone today. Let¡¯s rest early. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1015: 3 Army Carrying Handle "Tuk Tuk!" "Are you here together?" "Come in and sit down!" Xia Yu, who was immersed in the instructions of the document, looked out the door after hearing the knock on the door. When he saw Wang Qi and Wei Li coming together, his brows moved slightly and he said with a gentle expression. "Thank you, Chairman!" After thanking them respectfully, they walked into the office. Wang Qi went straight to Xia Yu, put a thick stack of paper bags on Xia Yu¡¯s desk, and said, ¡°Chairman, this is the equity certificate and transaction contract of Swire Airlines and its subsidiaries. I bought it for a total of 970 million Hong Kong dollars." "Well, thanks for your hard work!" Xia Yu said with a smile, then took the file bag and opened it and took out something to look at. He knew the price of the contract. Although he had authorized Wang Qi to sign the contract directly, after the transfer, Liu Tianci called and reported the matter to him, so he knew it was successful before. Therefore, Xia Yu satisfactorily put the documents and certifications aside after reading it briefly. Seeing Xia Yu finished reading, Wang Qi immediately asked: "Chairman, Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company still has a part of the equity in the hands of the public, and there are also 5% in the hands of Swire Financial. Go privatization?" Xia Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don''t need it for the time being. The stock price is still high now. It will be more appropriate after a while." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qimiao understood what the chairman meant, and he nodded and said nothing more. After speaking to Wang Qi, Xia Yu looked at Wei Li, who was sitting in distress, recalling Wei Li''s management skills, he pondered for a moment, and said to him: "Wei Li, there is one thing you need to do." "Chairman, please give your orders!" Wei Li immediately replied. Xia Yu thought about it for a while and then finished the draft and said: ¡°I don¡¯t like the word Swire. Swire Airlines needs rectification. The company is renamed Cathay Pacific Group Co., Ltd., which includes Cathay Pacific Airways Co., Ltd., Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering. The company also holds equity in Dongfeng Airlines." "The affiliation of secondary subsidiaries remains unchanged for the time being." "Cathay Pacific Group Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuding Industrial Group. You serve as the chairman and executive president, and you also serve as the chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways Co., Ltd." "Everyone related to the Shi Yahuai family should be removed under the premise of ensuring the stability of the company, and the company''s assets should be sorted out as soon as possible, and the historical problems and burdens will be solved. If there are problems that cannot be solved, you will tell me. " Wei Li replied in a spirited voice: "Thank you for the trust of the chairman and promise to complete the task!" The chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways Co., Ltd. was promoted to the chairman of Cathay Pacific Group. This right and treatment directly raised a level. How could he be unhappy? If the total assets are calculated instead of the net assets, after injecting 900 million Hong Kong dollars into Cathay Pacific Airways Co., Ltd., the assets of the entire group definitely exceed 6 billion Hong Kong dollars. In addition, he is also the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa. Although Hutchison Whampoa has lost weight, there are still more than 50 companies, and it is also a giant, not inferior to the Cathay Pacific Group. In this way, he managed tens of billions of assets for Xia Yu. As a person who came from Hutchison Whampoa and had a car on the road, it would be nice if he hadn''t been cleaned and fired. Now he can still be so highly regarded by Xia Yu, and he is less restrained than during Hutchison Whampoa. How can he not be excited? Although I believe in Werry''s ability and mentality, it is still necessary to mention something. Xia Yu narrowed his smile, straightened his face, and said solemnly: "Wei Li, I am optimistic about your talents, but the key is to look at yourself and don''t live up to my expectations." Werry calmed down immediately and solemnly nodded: "Understood!" ... The news of the completion of the transaction by Swire Airlines spread out on the same day, and many media reported the matter the next day. Many media and people who eat melons have no regrets. After all, with the completion of the transaction by Swire Airlines, the head-on conflict between the Jiuding Consortium and the Swire Consortium has disappeared, and there is no more melons. Fortunately, the Swire Consortium still has a hot spot, so many eyes are increasingly focused on the struggle between the Shi Yahuai family and the Song family. Xia Yu''s side is temporarily low-key, in order to speed up the secret layout and preparation when the line of sight is less. However, the Shi Yahuai family was less restrained by the Jiuding Consortium, and became more concentrated. They dealt with the Song family wholeheartedly, which caused Song Bo¡¯s pressure to increase sharply. He kept complaining to Xia Yu. Xia Yu could only advise Song Bo while urging him to speed up preparations . At 4 pm on Friday, July 17, the four major Hong Kong stock exchanges closed at the same time, and the Hang Seng Index rose to 1,861.25, and the total turnover of the four major exchanges on that day was as high as 1,67 million Hong Kong dollars. , Is still at a peak. But at 4:48 in the afternoon, the Heung Kong Bank Association held a press conference to formally announce its decision to the public. It decided to increase the bank¡¯s interest rates by 1%. After the interest rate hike, the prime interest rate rose from 17% to 18%. The savings deposit interest rate is 12%, and the mortgage interest rate has been increased to 19%! The press conference is not over yet, and news is flying all over the sky. Fortunately, the stock market has been closed, otherwise the stock market is very likely to fall. The trend of the stock market next Monday will depend on whether the capital is calm or panicked after the news in the next two days of the weekend. ... In the evening, Xia Yu met with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong by appointment. The location was chosen at Huo Ying''s home. When Xia Yu arrived, Bao Yugang had two cups of tea. Upon seeing Xia Yu, Bao Yugang smiled and congratulated him: "A Yu, congratulations, you have successfully eaten the aviation sector of the Swire Consortium, and you have another title of aviation tycoon." Huo Yingdong also joked: "A Yu, ask you, can your name count? Haha..." Xia Yu shook his head, and smiled helplessly: "What a tycoon is not a tycoon, it''s just a fictitious name, and the gimmicks made by the Xiangjiang media are all for newspaper sales. See if I go out with the name of a Xiangjiang Airlines tycoon. , Haven''t you been laughed at by the world''s top aviation giants?" Bao Yugang joked again: "A Yu, Cathay Pacific has you in charge. Will it be worse than those aviation giants in the future?" "Those that are destined for the future will not be discussed in advance. I will tell you. You used to dominate the Xiangjiang Shipping Market and the Bus Market. In addition to the current aviation market, there are all flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. I think that if the three titles are combined, they are called the commander-in-chief of the armed forces! "Haha..." After laughing, Huo Yingdong arranged for the servants to serve food and called for his family to join in for dinner. At the dinner table, we only talked about interesting things, not about serious business or heavy topics. After eating and drinking, the three of them came to the gazebo in the back garden to drink tea. The dim lighting matched the sound of insects. Huo Yingdong took a sip of tea and asked: "A Yu Now there is another group of elite intellectuals in Xiangjiang who plan to go north to the mainland next month. The organizer is Fu Chaoshu, the founder of "Zhong Bao". Have you ever found you?" Xia Yu frowned, shook his head and said, "I didn''t look for me." Then he asked back: "What is he going to talk about? Has he ever asked you?" Huo Yingdong slightly nodded and said: "He has looked for me, but I have been there this year. I can''t walk away during this time, but he also built a bridge for him." "He collected the opinions of many intellectuals, and the "Zhong Bao" also conducted a public opinion survey. This time he went north to the mainland. The starting point is good. If he can make a big gain on this trip, then we will have another important force. ." Xia Yu said with a smile, "I believe the mainland will not let him down." "Yes..." ... After briefly chatting about this matter, Huo Yingdong ended the topic. He and Bao Yugang looked at each other and finally talked about the true purpose of tonight. "Ayu, the pond of Xiangjiang River is being stirred up by the press conference of the afternoon bank guild. Your Jiuding Bank is a member of the bank guild. You should know better than us. You have to give me some advice." Bao Yugang then asked: "Yes, Ayu, you know the capital market far better than us. Now banks are raising interest rates, and the impact covers the entire Hong Kong, especially the mortgage interest rate for buildings has increased to 19%, and the loan interest has also increased by one. Li, the impact on the real estate market is not generally large. How can we go better?" PS: I always feel that something is wrong when I write, delete, delete, modify, and modify in one night. I deleted almost three thousand words in one night. I will overwrite this chapter tonight. It will be officially on track tomorrow. Let¡¯s rest early and good night! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1016: The stock market crash is coming! Faced with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong¡¯s worries, Xia Yu smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, can I even adjust your bank loan interest rate?¡± Bao Yugang pulled his face and said with some dissatisfaction: "A Yu, you have misunderstood what I meant. The bank interest rate should be as much as it is. The loan interest rate you gave us was the lowest in Hong Kong. This time Your storage cost has also risen. If you want to borrow money later, you still want to lend me the original loan, which makes you lose money. Then where do you put my face?" "What I want to ask is to what extent and direction the bank''s interest rate hikes may lead the real estate industry in Hong Kong. If we follow our previous plan for the real estate industry, what should we do this time?" Xia Yu looked at her Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong with scorching eyes, pondered for a long time, and solemnly said: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, the land we have now has been enough to develop for several years, personally It is recommended not to continue to invest funds to acquire land for the time being, and to continue construction of projects that have already started, and then prepare funds for bottom hunting." Bargain hunting? As soon as Xia Yu said this, it was Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong who had seen strong winds and waves, and they were still shocked. The word bargaining is not a mess! Huo Yingdong hurriedly asked: "A Yu, do you mean the stock market disaster will come again?" Bao Yugang also asked solemnly: "A Yu, will this bank''s interest rate hike cause a stock market crash?" No wonder they take it so seriously, who made them all experience the stock market crash of 1973? During that stock market crash, many Chinese-owned companies went bankrupt or were on the verge of bankruptcy. Many companies broke their capital chains, but it was difficult to borrow money from banks. Many more are due to the use of stocks as collateral. When the stock price drops to a certain level, if the loan cannot be paid off, it can only take out more stocks or be directly confiscated by the bank. But the situation of British companies in the stock market crash was completely different. British-funded companies can easily borrow from banks controlled by British-owned banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Hang Seng Bank. It was precisely because of the stock market crash that the four major British consortia bought and acquired Chinese companies at a low price. Each consortium had at least 150 or 60 companies, and as many as 300 or 400 companies. The two of them were very lucky and survived. But without the assistance of some Chinese banks such as Heung Kong Bank of China and Nanyang Commercial Bank, it is hard to say whether they will be submerged in the stock market crash. Now if there is another stock market disaster, the uncontrollability and risk will be too great, and they must prepare as soon as possible, so as not to deceive themselves and Xia Yu. Moreover, if you prepare well in advance, you can''t be able to take the opportunity to explode like the four British consortiums after the last stock market crash. Regarding the stock market disaster, Xia Yu planned to let the two of them know before he came, and even decided to invite their two **** allies to join in, so he nodded and said: "Yes, the stock market disaster is indeed coming." It''s just that there are some things that he is not convenient to say. For example, he wants to promote the occurrence of a stock market crash, which is definitely not possible. Fortunately, he prepared the same persuasive reason. "In fact, the interest rate hike by the Association of Banks is just an introduction. The stock market crash is about to happen. In fact, the main reason is the dual impact of the global economic downturn and the recession of the Xiangjiang economy." Bao Yugang frowned and asked, "A Yu, please explain more clearly." Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and continued: "I won''t say much about the reason for the interest rate hike by the Banking Association. The press conference made it clear." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong nodded together to express their understanding, and then continued to look at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for his story. "Let¡¯s talk about the global economic downturn. Europe has not yet emerged from the economic quagmire, and the main force of the United States has not yet emerged. Not only that, after the Federal Reserve announced a rate hike, capital returned to the United States, but the U.S. stock market continued to decline repeatedly. This has led to a weakening of investor sentiment." "The U.S. is a capital indicator. Their own capital markets are sluggish, and European stock markets have also been affected, let alone Hong Kong stocks. After all, there are too many foreign financial institutions in Hong Kong, and the outflow of funds from these institutions is just like the exchange rate spread. Proof." "As for Hong Kong¡¯s economic recession, don¡¯t look at Xiangjiang¡¯s current prosperity, but we all know that many labor-intensive companies have established factories in the mainland and their production capacity is already in the process of shifting. Although, under my proposal, the Hong Kong government The Yuen Long Technology Industrial Park is under construction, but it will take time to produce results." "In the time of the transfer of manufacturing, the real estate industry¡¯s contribution to the economy has been further highlighted, but now we are suppressing housing prices. Other real estate companies have further increased their land acquisition costs due to bank interest rates. The ability to resist risks is gradually declining, and these are what investors are looking at." "The current capital market has reached a record high, but according to my modeling analysis, it is a precursor to the trend of''one head and two right shoulders''. In the language of graphs, this is the appearance of a crash." "The stock market crash that may occur this time is caused by a combination of internal and external problems, so there is almost no way to prevent it. What can be done is to postpone it. For example, use capital to stimulate the stock market and artificially create a general trend. Under the general trend, the Hang Seng Index will Continue to rise." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused, looked at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong again, shrugged and said helplessly: "But you also know that flood control can only rely on negligence, not gambling, this time if it is artificially delayed The longer the ground is, the higher the Hang Seng Index will rise, and the more powerful it will be when it breaks out later!" "The only way is to continue to hold on to the stock market until the world economy gets out of the quagmire and opens the ceiling for the Hong Kong stock market. Then the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park will be completed as soon as possible to attract enough companies to build and put into production to consolidate the economic foundation of Hong Kong." Xia Yu''s long stories are dry goods, and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong can easily distinguish them. But it was precisely when Xia Yu was recognized, their mood became more complicated. The stock market crash seems to be inevitably coming! For a long time, Bao Yugang condensed his eyebrows and said: "Ayu, now the Song family and Shi Yahuai''s family are fighting fiercely. This is also the factor that helped the HSI rise. Now the Song family is in danger. If the Song family is cleaned up by the Shi Yahuai family~www.novelhall .com~The disaster is about to come?" "If you count this way, isn''t our time only a dozen days?" To Bao Yugang''s surprise, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Old Bao, how can you be sure that the Song family will lose?" Bao Yugang said immediately: "The Song family is at a disadvantage in terms of capital and equity, how could they...er..." "A Yu, you seem pretty sure that the Song family will win? Why?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said with a chuckle: "Because the Song family asked me for help, I will end." Bao Yugang was shocked, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and asked: "A Yu, didn''t you just come to an end with the Swire Consortium? Are you planning to clean up the Swire Consortium again?" "Your decision absolutely exceeded everyone''s expectations!" Xia Yudan said with a smile: "This time I didn¡¯t take the initiative to fight the Swire Consortium, but the Song family gave me vital support when acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways. I promised Song Bo that if Song My family has received revenge and loss for that incident. As long as the Song family speaks, I will lend a helping hand." "So this time the Shi Yahuai family retaliated against the Song family, and Song Bo begged me. Naturally, I cannot break my promise." ¡°If you want to help the Song family acquire Swire Industrial Group and Swire Commerce Group when the shareholding ratio is at a disadvantage, you can only go to war with the Swire Consortium.¡± "Anyway, I''m already offended to death. Just hit it." "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, how about it, do you have any ideas for a battle together?" In the last sentence, Xia Yu said to the two with a smile. PS: Everyone vomited last night, and I got drunk at noon today. Sorry, I''ll change it tonight, and it will be added two days on weekends. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1017: Disadvantages of equity pledge Chapter 1017 The Disadvantages Of Equity Pledge "Haha, do you need to talk about it? Of course I did!" "Now that the Song family and the Shi Yahuai family are fighting to the death, many people are already ready to move, including me. Now that I know you will intervene, what am I hesitating!" Bao Yugang laughed loudly. "I must be counted. I may not be able to play a big role in overcoming difficulties, but if you go downwind, you are still capable of giving you a strong voice." Huo Yingdong said humbly, but the meaning was also very expressive. clear. "A Yu, with your usual style, should you make a plan?" Bao Yugang asked after laughing. Xia Yu nodded and said, "A preliminary plan has been made. Let me tell you now." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong immediately focused on Xia Yu. "After the acquisition of Swire Airlines by me, there are more than two hundred companies, large and small, under the Swire Consortium, but most of them are unlisted companies." "In this process, I have promised the Song family to help them acquire Swire Industrial Group and Swire Trading Group. The shares held by the Song family in other companies other than the two groups that are connected will be used for As the cost of the acquisition, if there is something you need, tell me directly." "..." "However, because of the imminent stock market crash, it is too uneconomical to acquire the Swire Consortium at the current high or even higher stock price. Therefore, the real acquisition is to be placed at the back for bottom hunting. In the early stage, my plan was to stir up the price. ." "Whether it¡¯s the stocks of listed companies or the equity of non-listed companies, they compete with the Shi Yahuai family in all directions, forcing them to spend a lot of money to buy and increase their holdings. The more money they pay, the more hurt they will be when the stock market crash breaks out. The more!" "At that time, unless Norman Shiyahuai wants to ruin the entire family, he can only spit out most of the assets. We just seize the opportunity to buy the bottom, pick up the valuables, throw away the worthless, and use the funds. To buy other companies in the market..." After quietly listening to Xia Yu''s account, both Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong understood, and Bao Yugang even stroked his palms to applaud. "A Yu, other people don''t know that the stock market crash is about to happen. Your plan can definitely collapse the Swire Consortium in one fell swoop! Good strategy!" "If you do it properly, it won''t be a problem to double your assets!" "It seems that now we have to raise funds with all our strength, the more the better!" Huo Yingdong said with a drink. In fact, Xia Yu''s plan is really simple, but because other people can''t guess that there will be a stock market crash, so as long as Xia Yu and others remain silent, Shi Yahuai''s family must jump into the pit in order to keep their assets. At present, the debt ratio of HeungKong Swire Group is close to 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. In the whole of the British Swire Group, the debt is as high as 15 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is just group-level liabilities. If the Shi Yahuai family wants to deepen the control of the entire consortium, then it will have to go in parallel, allowing various holding groups to increase their shareholdings, and on the other, let the family funds increase their holdings. Unless the group increases its holdings, unless it has a large amount of liquidity, it must use the group''s assets and equity to mortgage the loan. To increase the holdings of Shi Yahuai''s family fund, it is necessary to use Shi Yahuai''s family money, or use the equity and assets held by the family fund to mortgage loans. In any case, assets and equity must be mortgaged, depending on whether the borrower is a bank or another family or institution. However, once the company''s stock price fluctuates sharply and the stock price of the pledged stock falls below the market value warning line set at the time of the bank''s loan contract, the pledger must add the pledge or deposit, otherwise the bank has the right to sell the equity to make up for its own losses. . This principle has the same meaning as stockholders entrusting securities companies to stock stocks, and securities companies can force their positions to be liquidated when stockholders lose money. Therefore, as long as the Swire Consortium and Shi Yahuai''s family have more loans and wait for the stock market crash, unless they can get money or equivalent assets to supplement the pledge, even if they don''t want to sell, they will have no choice. "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, once we start a fight with the Swire Consortium, it will be easy for the Hang Seng Index to break through two thousand points, but when the stock market crashes, I am 90% sure that it will fall below one thousand points." "As for the end of the stock market disaster, it is hard to say now, I will definitely remind you then." Xia Yu continued. "Okay, we will listen to your instructions then." "Yes." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong replied one after another. ... Early the next morning, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong held meetings of their subsidiaries one after another to shrink the company''s upper-level strategy and enhance its ability to resist risks. At the same time, the two of them also urged their companies to speed up the collection of funds and increase their capital holdings. In addition to the company, they worked hard to find ways to increase their liquidity. And early that morning, Xia Yu boarded the plane to Star City. About three and a half hours later, Xia Yu arrived at Changi Airport, which opened just half a month ago in Star City, and then stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Star City. In the afternoon, Xia Yu took the opportunity to inspect his company in Xingcheng, and then rested until more than five o''clock in the evening. After a little preparation, he drove to Qiu''s house. This time he came to Star City in person, and Xia Yu''s goal was Qiu Deba! More specifically, it is the 7.8% equity of Swire Co., Ltd. held by the Qiu family! When the team of Jiuding Securities Company visited the door repeatedly to no avail, and the Qiu family was kindly received, and did not agree or explicitly refuse, Xia Yu guessed that Qiu Deba should be waiting for him to come in person. As for the purpose of Qiu Deba, Xia Yu could not guess, but it may be clear tonight. The agreed time was 6:30 in the evening, and Xia Yu¡¯s car arrived at Qiu¡¯s house at 6:24, which was within five to ten minutes early, which was very appropriate. Facing the arrival of Xia Yu, the strongest man in Xiangjiang, the Qiu family gave a grand welcome ceremony. When Xia Yu''s car passed through the large iron gate of the house and came to the front entrance of the inner villa, he saw Qiu Depuan, who was over sixty years old and had white temples, and his descendants were standing at the door in person. He immediately ordered the car to stop. , Let Li Wuming take the carefully prepared gift, and walk towards Qiu Deba after three steps and two steps after getting off the car. "Mr. Qiu, you are the younger generation of Shao Shao, so your old family welcomes me together, it really makes me panic!" Pretending to be grateful and panic, Xia Yu shook hands with Qiu Deba and said quickly. When he met Qiu Deba for the first time, Qiu Deba directly gave him such a big gift. Although it showed the enthusiasm and attention of the Qiu family , Xia Yu could not take it for granted. Otherwise, even if Qiu Deba''s face is still smiling, it is hard to guarantee that Xia Yu will not be a human being. Moreover, they all say that people must ask for something in courtesy. This time it was obvious that Xia Yu came to the door for something, but now the Qiu family has made such a big battle. It is said that there are many people in the ceremony. Xia Yu feels that the Qiu family''s ceremony is too big, but there is no way to comment. And after receiving such a big gift, if the Qiu family asked for something, Xia Yu would have to think about it. And what Xia Yu asked for could not make the Qiu family suffer. "Haha, Mr. Xia is too modest. I don''t know that you are the God of Wealth, and even a legend among my Chinese. I have admired you for a long time, but I never saw him." "Mr. Xia''s visit to my Qiu family this time is really the ultimate happy event of my Qiu family over the years. If it weren''t, it would seem that my Qiu family''s rites are not enough." Qiu Deba laughed and said. Xia Yu shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Qiu, you are too admiring me. You are always recognized as an outstanding banker, and the **** of wealth in everyone''s mind. When you were always in business, I was not born yet!" "I came to learn from your old man this time." Qiu Deba hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, I don''t dare to learn from it. It''s something I can''t ask for to discuss each other. We must have a good chat tonight." "Mr. Xia, please come inside!" "You always please!" v3 Chapter 1018: Want a bank? After the group entered the living room of Qiu''s house and took their seats one after another, Xia Yu found a topic and chatted with Qiu Deba. Qiu Deba was also very curious about Xia Yu''s legendary experience and asked about it from time to time. Qiu Deba married two wives and had three sons and eleven daughters. Except for the married daughter, there are now three sons and four daughters in the family. Among them, the eldest son is Qiu Jinshan, a middle-aged man over 40. From the outside, he is an old and stable person. According to Xia Yu¡¯s investigation, Qiu Jinshan is not bad in ability. He serves as the director of the Qiu Group and is in charge Central Industry Co., Ltd., one of the three listed companies of the Qiu Group, assists Qiu Deba in managing the family business. The second son is Qiu Jinliang, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, over 30 years old, with a fair complexion, looks like a gentleman with a Confucian temperament, and assists the family in running the listed company of Malaysia Hotel Group. As for the youngest son, only twelve years old, his name is Qiu Jinhai. He is a cute little boy. However, Xia Yu has heard Qiu Jinhai''s name in his previous life. He has become a well-known director and made many influential movies. . During the chatting between Xia Yu and Qiu Deba, both Qiu Jinshan and Qiu Jinliang listened quietly, obviously interested in some things Xia Yu told. Qiu Jinhai, the youngest, couldn''t sit still. He didn''t seem to be sensitive to business at all. His **** was writhing on the sofa. Had it not been for his father''s approval, he would have slipped away to play. Fortunately, dinner rescued him. At seven o''clock, all the sumptuous dinners were served, Qiu Deba stopped talking and greeted Xia Yu and others to come to the table together. It was so lively between pushing the cup and changing the cup. The distance between the two parties has narrowed a lot after a meal. After dinner, Qiu Deba and Xia Yu went back to the tea table in the living room to chat. When talking about the warm atmosphere, Xia Yu officially entered today''s theme. Xia Yu said bluntly: "Mr. Qiu, the equity of Swire Holdings is really important to me. I hope you can cut your love and transfer 7.8% of the equity held by the Qiu family to me." Qiu Deba, who was originally smiling, narrowed his smile slightly, and did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked with a faint smile: "Mr. Xia, haven''t you already won Swire Airlines? Why do you still want to fight the Shi Yahuai family? " Xia Yu looked helpless and said, "Mr. Qiu, I thought at first that there would be nothing to do later, but the world is unpredictable. Others asked me to help deal with Shi Yahuai''s family. I couldn''t get rid of it, so I could just bite the bullet. Up." Qiu Deba moved in his heart. Although he was curious about who asked Xia Yu for help, since Xia Yu hadn''t said vaguely, he couldn''t ask him again. He also said helplessly: "Mr. Xia, your fight with the Shi Yahuai family is really a great fight. Just like before, in just two months, due to the loss of the backbone of Swire Airlines, Swire¡¯s share price plummeted. The market value has also fallen from a peak of more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars to less than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars now." "You continue to fight Shi Yahuai''s family now, it seems that I won''t be able to withdraw, hey..." Xia Yu heard the profound meaning of Qiu Deba¡¯s words, and he hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Qiu, I am very sorry about this, because Swire and Swire Airlines have always been under the control of the Shi Yahuai family, so when I competed I only stared at the Shi Yahuai family, and did not consider the losses of your other shareholders." "But it shouldn''t be too late to wake up. I am willing to buy the equity in your hands at the original stock price. What do you think?" Qiu Deba looked pensive, as if he was struggling violently inside. Xia Yu thought for a while, and said in a soothing tone: "Mr. Qiu, there are some things that are not convenient to tell you, but from my personal point of view, I am very willing to become close friends with the Qiu family, so I don¡¯t want to Seeing the Qiu family suffer losses again." "I think I have always believed in Chinese people. If you believe me, I suggest that you no longer hold the relevant equity of the Swire Consortium. Even if you don''t sell it to me, I hope you sell it as soon as possible." "This is my heartfelt suggestion!" Qiu De frowned and looked at Xia Yu, and found that Xia Yu''s eyes were full of sincerity, not like lying. He realized that Xia Yu was not threatening him, and the slight anger that rose in his heart immediately disappeared. He suddenly realized that there must be a bigger plan inside. The battle between Shi Yahuai''s family and Xia Yu is undoubtedly quite optimistic about Xia Yu. If Xia Yu can take away Swire Airlines under the strict control of Shi Yahuai''s family, he will cause more damage to Shi Yahuai''s family and the Swire Consortium. It is not impossible! When he received Xia Yu''s greetings, he had initially decided to sell the equity to Xia Yu. The key to success or failure depends on Xia Yu''s performance. Now that Xia Yu suddenly said these words, Qiu Deba''s mentality has changed again. He hopes to make friends with Xia Yu more and more, and it may be too late. After all, if the Swire Consortium falls again, the only British consortium that Heungkong can still have a great influence on will be Wheelock. Now Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium is already a giant of Xiangjiang. If there are no constraints, then it will definitely be the time when the dragon is in the world. It is undoubtedly the best result to become a partner with Xia Yu. The result is doomed, so it is undoubtedly better for him to get in the car early. So he first thanked: "Mr. Xia, first of all thank you for your reminder." Then he continued: "It is okay to transfer the equity of Swire Corporation to you, but my Qiu family does not lack cash for the time being." "At that time, the reason why the equity of Swire Holdings was purchased was first to invest and obtain a hen who would lay eggs, and second to broaden the network and use the influence of the Swire Consortium to gain broader development space." "If I sell the equity to you, it would be difficult for me to invest the capital, so I will brazenly ask for it." Xia Yu made a please gesture and said, "Please speak!" Qiu Deba pondered for a moment and said in a suitable tone: "You called me an outstanding banker before, but you are ashamed. Compared with Mr. Xia, what kind of banker is the person who lost all the venture banks like me?" "But the banking industry is indeed the industry where my Qiu family can rise, and I also hope to continue to make great achievements in the banking industry, and my eldest son Jinshan is also very interested in the financial industry." "So I hope to exchange shares with Mr. Xia, and exchange them for bank equity." After speaking, Qiu Deba looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and saw Xia Yu frown slightly, his heart gradually lifted up. Xia Yu was indeed a little dissatisfied, and he also understood why Qiu Deba gave such a big gift in the afternoon. His feelings were for his bank. Jiuding Bank was his foundation. Even Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong did not obtain equity in Jiuding Bank. Now Qiu Deba made this request, which really made him unhappy. It''s just that Xia Yu was very human after all, and the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart was soon suppressed by reason. Xia Yu thought of Qiu''s past. Qiu Deba''s father is a wealthy rice merchant and a shareholder of many banks. In 1933, when he was only 16 years old, Qiu Deba joined the OCBC Bank founded by his father. Later, in 1959, he had been deputy general manager of OCBC Bank for a long time, but because of his small shareholding, Qiu Deba could not join the board of directors, so he ran away to seek another development. Then in 1960, after leaving his job, Qiu Deba and several people partnered to open Maybank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a capital of 10 million ringgit. It took only six years. By 1966, Maybank already had 108 branches and began to break the monopoly of foreign banks in Malaysia. Qiu Debaan was therefore recognized as an outstanding banker, Qiu Jia It also laid the foundation with Maybank. But the good times did not last long, because Star City became independent from Malaysia in 1965, and Qiu Deba, whose foundation is mainly in Star City, became a thorn in the eyes of the Malaysian government. The political hostility of the Singapore-Malaysian division spread, and Malaysian officials manipulated it behind the scenes. When rumors spread in 1966, it was rumored that Qiu Deba had borrowed money from his bank without a mortgage. This led to a run on Maybank and the edge of bankruptcy. , The Malaysian government seized the opportunity to take over forcibly, and then reorganized Maybank in January 1967, and became Maybank¡¯s largest shareholder. Although the Qiu family still holds a part of the shares in Maybank, where can they compete for a government? No good for him, the pot did not let him back. It was not until 1976 that he resigned from the directorship of Maybank, and Maybank, which he founded, was completely owned by the Malaysian government. Although Qiu Deba lost Maybank, after he tasted the sweetness of the banking industry, how could he give up? Therefore, he is still getting involved in the banking industry. For example, in Brunei, he runs the National Bank of Brunei with the brother of the Sultan of Brunei. However, due to the boycott of Star City and Malaysia, the National Bank of Brunei has been unable to obtain the Banking License of Star City and Malaysia, leaving Qiu Deba with nowhere to do it, and he is very aggrieved. At this moment, Xia Yu had an idea, thought of something, and his brows gradually eased. Qiu Deba, who had been paying close attention to Xia Yu, moved in his heart, raising his sinking heart again. After a while, I only heard Xia Yu say: "Mr. Qiu, Jiuding Bank is a non-sale product and shoulders a heavy responsibility. I will not sell equity to anyone. Before in Xiangjiang, Bao Yugang and others asked me and I did not transfer it. Even if it¡¯s one strand, so please forgive me!" The relationship between him and Bao Yugang is well known. Xia Yu gave this example. Even if he rejected Qiu Deba, Qiu Deba could not be angry. Just when Qiu Deba smiled reluctantly. Xia Yu turned around and continued: "But Mr. Qiu, with your old experience and creativity in the banking industry, if you don''t run a bank, it is indeed a waste of your talents." "I also look forward to working closely with you in the banking industry." "I think so. Except for Jiuding Bank, we are cooperating with other banks, and the bank''s foundation is not bad. What do you think?" PS: It will be updated today. This is the first update written after six o¡¯clock. By the way, please ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1019: 630 million! Chapter 1019 Six hundred and thirty million! Looking forward to the loss and regaining it, Qiu Deba became more curious. He asked, "Mr. Xia, can I know which bank it is? Is it Hong Kong or Southeast Asia?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiu, the business covers these two areas. You can rest assured that this bank is enough to accommodate the two of us. You cannot replace all the equity with the equity of Swire Holdings." Hearing this, although I didn''t know which bank it was, Qiu Deba had already smiled. Even based on the original market value of Swire Holdings, his 7.8% stake is worth more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars. If Xia Yu said so, then how could this bank be worth one billion Hong Kong dollars! If it is only worth one billion Hong Kong dollars, the controlling stake is their Qiu family. If it greatly exceeds the value of one billion Hong Kong dollars, although it may not be possible to obtain a controlling stake, Qiu Deba is also satisfied. just¡­¡­ There seem to be only a few banks with such a high value that cover Hong Kong and Southeast Asia? Is it the public bank founded by Zheng Hongbiao, who co-founded Maybank with him, and then left decisively? Or is it the UOB established by the Sarawak Huang Family and other Chinese families? Or is it the OCBC Bank founded by Star City Rubber King and Tan Kah Kee¡¯s son-in-law Li Guangqian? ... Each bank flashed in his mind, but Qiu Deba felt that Xia Yu might not be able to acquire it, so he could not determine the target at all. He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Xia, what you said made me even more curious. I felt like a cat scratching in my heart. If I don''t know the result, I won''t sleep well tonight." Xia Yu smiled, but didn''t tell him, but just asked, "Mr. Qiu, you just said that the bank I mentioned does not meet your requirements? Is it suitable for our two cooperation platforms?" Qiu Deba said without hesitation: "If what is said is true, then of course it is appropriate. I agree to exchange shares!" Xia Yu immediately nodded and confirmed: "It must be true. You will know when the time comes, and you will definitely not be disappointed!" Qiu Deba heard what Xia Yu was saying. He narrowed his smile and asked: "Mr. Xia, don''t you plan to trade with me in the near future?" Xia Yu explained with a smile: "It''s not in the near future, I''m already in the layout now, and it will take some time to get it." "But I hope that Mr. Qiu can first transfer Swire''s equity to me." As soon as these words came out, Qiu Deba''s smile froze, and his two sons also expressed hesitant expressions. "Mr. Xia, are you not in line with business rules?" Qiu Deba said softly. Xia Yu didn''t rush, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Qiu, you have listened to me. I always pay attention to your wishes when I do business, and I also follow the rules. Therefore, I am willing to write additional clauses in the contract." Qiu Deba moved in his heart and gestured to Xia Yu to continue. Xia Yu also said: ¡°This can be written on the subsidiary clause. I will take out a bank worth 1 billion Hong Kong dollars within one year as the object of equity replacement. If the time is up, I will use Jiuding Bank¡¯s equity instead. , And pay interest in accordance with Star City¡¯s lowest lending rate in the banking industry." "Mr. Qiu, what do you think?" Xia Yu''s words are for this purpose, and his attitude has been put forward. Of course Qiu Deba has no opinion. He even wished that Xia Yu could not find a bank worth more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. It was not ideal to replace the equity of Jiuding Bank with the equity of Swire Corporation. Even if Xia Yuzhen took out such a bank, it also met his needs and he was equally satisfied. Therefore, Qiu Deba smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, since you are so majestic, I will appear to be incapable of life if I disagree." "Just do what you said, I can trade anytime!" Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Mr. Qiu, what about the price of Swire''s shares?" Xia Yu said before that it was calculated based on the previous market value of Swire Co., Ltd., and now it is considered a premium of more than 35%, which can be said to be very face-saving. He is not the kind of person who doesn''t know right and wrong, so he didn''t make any unreasonable demands, and simply said: "Just follow the meaning you just said, Mr. Xia." "That''s OK!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he raised his hand to check the time of his watch and found that it was almost nine o''clock. It''s too late tonight. Thinking of this, he said to Qiu Deba: "Mr. Qiu, it''s too late tonight. Should we sign the contract at nine o''clock tomorrow morning?" Qiu Deba smiled and nodded: "Yes, I said I can do it anytime, as long as it is convenient for you." "Then I will visit again at nine o''clock tomorrow morning!" After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one cup, then stood up. "Okay, I will wait for you at home!" Qiu Deba also stood up, stretched out his hand to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu reached out to hold it. "Mr. Qiu, let''s be here tonight, I will go back first, thank you for your hospitality!" "Rough tea and light rice, Mr. Xia is fine." "I see you off!" After some greetings, Qiu Deba drove Xia Yu into the car, and watched Xia Yu''s car drive away from his manor and disappear into the night. Qiu Deba happily took his two sons back to the living room. The eldest son Qiu Jinshan asked curiously: "Dad, which bank do you think Mr. Xia can take out?" Qiu Deba shook his head and said, "I can''t guess. Although Xia Yu is famous, his main relationship is between Xiangjiang and Omen, and his connections in Southeast Asia are only average." "Moreover, his Jiuding Bank is well-known in Southeast Asia. Relying on high deposit rates and lower lending rates, it is extremely aggressive. Banks in the same industry hate and fear Jiuding Bank. If he wants to acquire these banks, it is not difficult. Generally big." Qiu Jinshan silently, as far as he knows, this is indeed the case. He also runs the National Bank of Brunei. Even if the National Bank of Brunei did not leave Brunei, in that small place, he felt the pressure of invisible competition from Jiuding Bank. . Qiu Deba continued: ¡°But we don¡¯t have to worry about it. Even if Xia Yu doesn¡¯t take out the equity of Jiuding Bank, the Daoheng Bank, Ka Wah Bank, Hang Lung Bank and other banks under Jiuding Bank are not bad before. After the acquisition of Jiuding Bank, the capital increased and expanded rapidly. The three banks are distributed in Southeast Asian countries. Today, no matter which one is worth more than one billion Hong Kong dollars." "As long as Xia Yu is willing, any one of them will be enough to fulfill the agreement." "Anyway, we just wait, no matter which one he takes out, as long as it is a bank!" Qiu Jinshan nodded and said, "Dad, you are right. No matter which bank it is, it just needs to be a bank." Qiu Deba was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "Unexpectedly, after losing Maybank, the plan has been unsuccessful for so many years. The National Bank of Brunei will never be able to get out of Brunei, but now he sees other hopes. This fate..." "As long as Xia Yu can fulfill his promise, the next time he meets Zheng Hongbiao, see how he laughs at me!" Hearing what his father said, the two brothers Qiu Jinshan and Qiu Jinliang looked at each other, but they did not answer the conversation. Zheng Hongbiao knew that they were old friends of his father, and they kept calling uncle. Both Zheng Hongbiao and Qiu Deba worked at OCBC Bank. More precisely, Zheng Hongbiao''s ability to grow rapidly at OCBC could not do without the help of the Qiu family. Therefore, after Qiu Deba resigned from OCBC Bank, Zheng Hongbiao also came out and co-founded Maybank with several others, and jointly built the bank. It was just that Zheng Hongbiao''s equity in Maybank was relatively small. During a bank run in 1966, Zheng Hongbiao chose to give up, and he immediately founded Public Bank. On the other hand, Qiu Debark holds a majority stake in Maybank and regards Maybank as his lifeblood. He is reluctant to leave. He hopes to be able to regain it from the Malaysian government. This battle will last for ten years. Sadly admit defeat and withdraw, wasting ten years for this, making Qiu Deba sigh with regret every time he thinks about it. On the other hand, Zheng Hongbiao, after decisively withdrawing, immediately established the Public Bank and chose the right strategy. After only five months of opening, he set up a number of branches and then expanded rapidly. By 1976, just ten years have passed. That year, Qiu Deba sadly ended up leaving Maybank, while Zheng Hongbiao''s Public Bank listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. Ten years ago, Qiu Deba took the lead, and Zheng Hongbiao was only an auxiliary. The scenery belonged to Qiu Deba and was hailed as a recognized outstanding banker. Ten years later, this title was moved to Zheng Hong''s header, which is not much better than Qiu Deba''s glory back then. Although the two are still good friends, Qiu Deba feels depressed whenever he thinks that his younger brother has run ahead of him. Fortunately. Now I finally see hope. And there is still hope of overtaking! "I hope Xia Yu will fulfill the delivery of bank equity soon..." There was a secret cry in my heart Qiu De pulled back to the room to wash and fell asleep. That night, Qiu Deba had a dream, in which he became the most powerful banker in Southeast Asia... Early the next morning. After eating breakfast, Xia Yu brought the acquisition team to Qiu Deba''s home again before nine o''clock, and met Qiu Deba and his son, as well as the staff they brought. After Xia Yu and Qiu Deba explained the situation, the acquisition teams of the two parties quickly negotiated and acted. Xia Yu and Qiu Deba were drinking tea and chatting, and the atmosphere was very warm. Soon, a complete contract was sorted out. Three lawyers including Xia Yu, Qiu Deba, and the impartial party all stated that the terms were very reasonable. In terms of price. The Qiu family holds a 7.8% stake in Swire Co., Ltd. at a price of 636 million Hong Kong dollars. After the contract was signed, Qiu Deba handed over the stock certificate to Xia Yu. Looking at the equity certificate in his hand, Xia Yu thanked him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qiu, thank you again for your generosity!" Qiu Deba laughed, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia, I dare not be it." "It is the honor of my life to work with you!" "Hahaha..." "Mr. Xia, can you have a light meal with me at noon?" "No, thank old Mr. Qiu, next time, I have to go to Kuala Lumpur today. I have to try to finish some things today, and I will rush back to Xiangjiang tomorrow." "Is that so? Well, your business is important, wait for next time, you must notify me when you come to Star City." "Will do." ... PS: The second update will be sent.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1020: Futures market planning PS: Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia with a high population density. It is the city with the most diversified language and population groups in Malaysia. It is also the city with the fastest population and economic growth in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is also one of the main traditional gathering places of Chinese in Malaysia. It is dominated by Cantonese, Hokkien and Hakka. Chinese occupy the majority of the city¡¯s population. The number of Chinese in the city exceeds 1.5 million, accounting for five of the total Chinese in Malaysia. Bis or so. Because of their ancestral origin, Chinese who were born and raised in Kuala Lumpur generally use Cantonese as their daily social and business language, while standard Chinese is generally used as a medium of communication with Chinese from non-Cantonese-speaking areas. The distance between Kuala Lumpur and the Star City is only more than 310 kilometers, which is very close. Xia Yu arrived in Kuala Lumpur in an hour by plane. When I arrived, it was only 11:15 in the morning. Because Xia Yu had previously ordered the employees of the company in Kuala Lumpur to vote for the Li family, and received a positive response. Therefore, after Xia Yu had lunch and rested until more than two o''clock in the afternoon, he drove to Li''s manor. The Li family¡¯s manor is not in the city, but in a giant rubber and oil palm plantation near Subang Jaya in the southern suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. The surname Li is not only a popular surname in China, but also in foreign countries. There are many powerful Li family. The Li family visited by Xia Yu, whose contemporary head is Li Laisheng, is the famous "rubber king" in Southeast Asia. The Kepong Group of the Lee family owns a total of 220,000 acres of gum, palm oil and cocoa orchards. In terms of planting area alone, the orchard owned by the Kepong Group is second only to the British-owned Sime Darby Group, ranking second in Malaysia. But personally, Li Laisheng ranked first! It''s just that Li Laisheng didn''t manage the plantation from the beginning. It can be said that he made a mistake, but he hit a golden road. Li Laisheng¡¯s father is Li Mingxing, a well-known mining company in Ipoh, Malaysia. In his early years, Li Mingxing traveled south from his hometown to Hainan and went to Malaysia to dig tin mines. Later, his family moved to Malaysia to rain Ipoh. Because he is a Hakka, he was appraised by Yao Desheng, the "Tin Mine King" of Meizhouping, who was from Malaysia, and was given five acres of tin mining land to be managed by him. Li Mingxing started from this. With the perseverance and entrepreneurial spirit of the Hakka people, Li Mingxing succeeded and became a famous mining expert in Ipoh. Li Mingxing has 14 sons and nine daughters. Li Laisheng is Li Mingxing''s fourth son. For "the second generation of mine" Li Laisheng, he intended to continue to grow his family business. However, when Malaysia became independent in the 1950s, the British sold their rubber plantations. At that time, Li Laisheng¡¯s third brother Li Wansheng, who was in charge of the Li family¡¯s business, also bought a rubber plantation. However, their family did not manage the rubber plantation. , But thought there was a tin mine under the hill. Only after several months of mining, the tin ore was not mined. Disappointed Li Wansheng handed over the rubber plantation to Li Laisheng to manage. Li Laisheng, who knew nothing, relied on his cleverness and diligence, relying on family funds. Continue to buy plantations from the British. For example, he bought the equity of Granny Plantation, controlled Batu Kawan Plantation, provided equity transactions, and then controlled Kuala Kepong Plantation. Step by step, Li Lai became the famous "Rubber King" in Southeast Asia, and his family business broke free from the shackles of tin mines, and was taken to another peak by him. He also took over the leader of the Li family from his third brother Li Wansheng. Bit. ... At about 2:52, Xia Yu arrived at the Li Family Manor, and he received a grand welcome from the Li Family. Li Laisheng took his eldest son Li Aixian, second son Li Xiaoxian and third son Li Shunxian to welcome Xia Yu''s arrival. "Mr. Xia, you are too polite, and you brought such an expensive gift." After letting the eldest son accept the gift, Li Laisheng smiled kindly and shook hands with Xia Yu. "It''s just a little care, it''s not expensive." "Mr. Li, it''s the first time I came here, and I came in empty-handed. Xia Yu said jokingly, and narrowed the distance between the two sides quietly. Li Laisheng flattered and said: "Haha, Mr. Xia can really joke, you can step into the door of my Li family, and my family will be splendid. This is the greatest gift." "Quickly, don''t stand by the door, sit in the house!" "please!" ... After entering the house, there was another courtesy. Xia Yu sat down on the sofa in the living room. Li Laisheng¡¯s three sons sat on the side sofa to accompany him. Li Laisheng introduced Xia Yu one by one, and then the boss Li Aixian represented his father. Give Xia Yu tea. After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu said in admiration: "Mr. Li, on my way here, I saw endless rubber, which is really spectacular. I can''t see such a spectacular view in Xiangjiang." "Even in Star City yesterday, although I saw a lot of rubber plantations, there is no way to compare it with yours. I heard that this plantation is only mid-level in your family?" Li Laisheng humbly said: "Mr. Xia is praised. This plantation can be regarded as the largest in our family. Mr. Xia has always been in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang has a developed economy. Comparing Kuala Lumpur with Xiangjiang, it is like a country or a city. There is no industry, so you can only engage in rubber and oil palm cultivation. Mr. Xia, you will feel tired after watching it for a while." "By the way, did Mr. Xia just come from Star City? I thought you came directly from Xiangjiang." It was just talking about small talk beforehand, Li Laisheng changed the subject, and Xia Yu followed his words. He chuckled and said: "It''s mainly because my company in Star City has some things for me to deal with, and then he visited Mr. Qiu Deba by the way and discussed some cooperation matters." Li Laisheng moved in his heart and said calmly, "Is the cooperation between Mr. Xia and Qiu Deba going smoothly? I am old friends with Qiu Deba. If it is useful to go to my place, I am honored to join in. ." Xia Yu pretended not to hear it, and smiled casually: "Thank you, Mr. Li, Mr. Qiu is very sensible and generous. After I came to the door, I returned with a full load." Li Laisheng smiled and said, "Qiu Deba is really very angry. It''s good that you have reached a conclusion, congratulations!" "Thank you!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked him. Then, seeing the atmosphere is almost there, he took the initiative to enter the topic. "Mr. Li, I am here this time mainly for two things, to deepen our cooperation." "Mr. Xia, please speak!" After Li Laisheng finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said softly: "The first thing is to start a battle for the detailed cooperation in the future, to ventilate with you, it is about rubber and palm oil." "I don''t know if Mr. Li knows that the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the UK and Magna International in Canada are all customers of your family''s company?" Li Laisheng''s brows trembled. Of course he knew that these two companies were both major customers of the Kepong Group, and the purchase demand was also the fastest growing. Rolls-Royce Motor Company mainly purchases rubber, while Magna International The company purchases both rubber and palm oil. These two companies are not British and Canadian companies? Why did Xia Yu suddenly mention this? After an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind, Li Laisheng asked in surprise: "Mr. Xia, are these two companies your company?" Xia Yufeng nodded lightly and admitted: "It''s my company." Li Laisheng took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and shook his head in admiration: "Unexpectedly, the real owner of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the UK turned out to be you. Mr. Xia, your business is too big. You are really a model for my Chinese. !" Xia Yu smiled modestly, and then said: "Mr. Li, in addition to these two companies are expanding at a high speed, my other companies, such as Tiangong Automobile Group, are already building factories, chemical companies have also established projects, and food companies are also Planning to enter the grain and oil market." "The demand for rubber and palm oil by these companies will increase. The rubber and palm oil produced by your family¡¯s Kepong Group are of very good quality and are very popular in the market, so I have to ventilate with you in advance. I will feel more at ease when I expand." Li Laisheng knew that Xia Yu¡¯s remarks were self-effacing and praised him. He said without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, don¡¯t hesitate to say, "As long as you need it, I will definitely supply the goods here, so you won¡¯t be too distracted. !" "Thank you Mr. Li then!" "It''s still about rubber and palm oil. I have some ideas in this regard." Hearing Xia Yu''s words like this, Li Laisheng, who was already very happy, brightened his eyes and became more and more looking forward to it. "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "That''s it, Mr. Li should know that I have a certain influence in the Hong Kong financial market." Li Laisheng immediately praised: "Mr. Xia''s words are too modest. Who doesn''t know that you are the God of Wealth and the God of Stock of Xiangjiang. Even in Southeast Asia, this influence is second to you and no one dares to be the first." Xia Yu smiled and continued: "In the banking, insurance, and securities industries, I have achieved certain results, but I still have a lot of difference in futures, and to be honest, whether it is Hong Kong or Southeast Asia, the futures market Development is very slow, and rubber, palm oil, and palm are all commodities. If a reasonable futures price can be used as a guide, it can provide a lot of convenience for trading." "I am already planning to get involved in futures trading in these areas, and strive to create a platform that benefits plantation owners and buyers, and promote the vigorous development of rubber, palm oil and palm markets." "It is said that planting a plane tree will attract the phoenix." "If you want to build such an influential platform, you need the support of your \''Rubber King\'', Mr. Li. I hope that when the platform is about to be built, you can support me!" Li Laisheng applauded and responded: "Mr. Xia''s feat is of great help to us. We have long hoped to have such a platform, but throughout Southeast Asia, there is no proper rubber and palm oil futures. In the trading market, Xiangjiang¡¯s economy is prosperous. Although there is a futures market, there are no futures for rubber and palm oil. Most of them are cotton, soybeans, and grains." "Now that Mr. Xia can build such a platform, I absolutely fully support it. As long as you say something, I will be a lobbyist for the planters I know in Southeast Asia. I believe everyone will actively support this kind of thing!" Li Laisheng also has an understanding of futures, and he knows the role of the rubber futures, palm oil futures and palm futures markets with great influence. The most basic is to provide hedging function, which can lock in profits and reduce risks. Kepong Group can fully use the futures market hedging business. When the market price is favorable, it will establish a selling position in the futures market in advance; when the future product actually enters the market for sale, even if the market price occurs It is not conducive to the decline of enterprises. Kepong Group can also make up for the "loss" of the decline in spot sales prices through the surplus of futures positions. For example, Kepong Group, as a seller, must have a group of distributors below. In normal years, they will sell one ton of rubber for 10,000 yuan. If the year is bad next year, Kepong Group will not sell for 10,000 yuan. The money will be lost. If you bite the bullet and let the distributor sell it for 10,000 yuan, the distributor will not be able to sell, and the Kepong Group will lose money, and the distributor will also lose money. If there is hedging, the market price is locked. Kepong Group can follow the market price with a substantial price cut, or even lower, without worrying about losses, the seller is not difficult, he will survive, and the dealer will survive to stabilize the customer? The same reason, the customer in the procurement process The maintenance effect is the same Then another example is the market management function. Market management is not only price management, it can help companies stabilize the market, stabilize customer channels, and even expand the market. If the rubber of the Kepong Group can become the designated trading and delivery product of the futures exchange, then this will not only provide a stable sales channel for the Jiadong Group, but also greatly enhance the market brand awareness of the company''s products. Of course there are drawbacks, but compared with the benefits, those drawbacks are negligible! So for Xia Yu, a financial tycoon who is willing to do this, and anyone with a discerning eye can judge that the success rate is high, Li Laisheng certainly raised his hands to express his support. PS: The third update will be sent. Today, the 4D will be updated daily and will be updated tonight. In addition, it''s the end of the month. Don''t waste the recommended monthly pass. Thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1021: Support from patriotic overseas Chinese Although he expected Li Laisheng to support him, Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling when he saw his positive attitude. With the support of the "Rubber King", his plan will be much easier to operate later. He thanked: "Mr. Li, thank you for being so insightful and righteous. No wonder the career of the Li family is getting bigger and bigger!" Li Laisheng smiled and said modestly: "Mr. Xia Liao praised, what you mentioned is a win-win thing, I should support it." In a good mood, Li Laisheng asked, "By the way, Mr. Xia, what is the second thing you just said?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and said solemnly, "Mr. Li, the second thing is that I hope you can accomplish one thing for me." Li Laisheng smiled slightly, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, but it doesn''t matter." Xia Yu looked directly at Li Laisheng and said sincerely: "Mr. Li, as far as I know, your family¡¯s Kepong Group holds 5.2% of the shares of Heungkang Taikoo Industrial Group. I hope you can endure the pain. , It is made for me! This equity is very important to me!" Li Laisheng pondered for a moment, and a lot of information appeared in his mind. Then he replied: "Mr. Xia, the origin of this equity is actually insider. I will tell you later." "I want to ask, do you plan to acquire Swire Industrial Group as a wholly-owned subsidiary, or do you simply want to invest in shares?" Xia Yu did not conceal it, nor did he think he could fool Li Laisheng, so he said frankly: "My purpose is very clear, which is to acquire Swire Industrial Group wholly." "It''s just that the Swire Consortium and the Shi Yahuai family have relatively strict control over the Swire Industrial Group. Therefore, in order to be as successful as possible, I need to acquire as much equity as possible before the attack, so I need your help!" Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused for a moment and said sincerely again: "Mr. Li, Hong Kong belongs to the Chinese after all. The British have been domineering long enough. Malaysia has driven out most of the British, so the Chinese The living environment and business environment have been greatly improved, and I hope that Xiangjiang will once again usher in a bright future!" Xia Yu''s words made Li Lai lively and aroused his inner national sentiment and nationalism. For a time, he was filled with emotion. He had experienced the British colonial period, so he had a deep understanding of what Xia Yu said. Even Xia Yu''s words are only part of it. Malaya (Malay Peninsula) and Sabah, Sarawak, Star City and other places were colonized by the British since 1785, and they were colonized by the island nation for three years from 1942. Then after World War II in 1945, these colonies were taken back by the British. Up. During the colonial period, all sovereignty of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Star City was taken away by the British. The British were superior, even the wealthy and powerful Chinese families in the local area were as short as the British. Look at the British people acting on their faces. All kinds of profitable industries are occupied by the British. Even if the Chinese are engaged in some industries relying on diligence and ingenuity, they still face tremendous pressure and have to face the unfair competition from the British. If it weren¡¯t for Malaya¡¯s independence in 1957, and then Sabah, Sarawak and Star City¡¯s independence in 1963, joining Malaya, forming Malaysia and regaining national sovereignty, and then the British retreated, their family would not have grown to the present level. , He also don''t want to become the "Rubber King". Before the independence of Malaysia, the situation of Xiangjiang was relatively better, but after the independence of Malaysia, the environment of Xiangjiang was actually not comparable to Malaysia. Li Laisheng knows very well that Xiangjiang has gathered too many Chinese wealthy and families, so the overall strength is strong enough to barely resist the oppression of the British. After Xia Yu appeared, he attacked the British several times, weakened the strength of the British consortium, and opened up a broader world for the Chinese. So now Xia Yu bluntly says he wants to join the Swire Consortium. Although he must have selfish reasons, it is undeniable that if he really succeeds, he will definitely be able to further optimize the life and business environment of the Chinese in Hong Kong. And Xiangjiang is one of the economic centers of Southeast Asia, and even the status of the entire Southeast Asian Chinese will be promoted, so this is beneficial to the entire overseas Chinese nation. It''s even more pretentious to talk about the help to the motherland. During the War of Resistance against Japan, his father Li Mingxing responded to the overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee to launch the "Dedicated Plane to Save the Nation" campaign. His father took the lead in donating a plane worth 100,000 US dollars. The inscription plaques of "Yi" and "Patriotic Pioneer". In the early days of the founding of the People''s Republic of China, due to the "embargo" policy imposed on New China by Western forces, Li Laisheng tried every means to transship through third-country channels and re-export large quantities of rubber products and semi-finished products to support New China''s economic construction. It can be said that the Li family has special feelings for the motherland as a nation, and has made indelible contributions to the motherland. It is definitely a patriotic overseas Chinese family. Compared with Li Laisheng, although a certain person of the same surname will be stronger in the future, he does not even have the qualifications to carry shoes in some respects. Closer to home, he has no reason not to support Xia Yu''s benefit to the motherland and the nation. Just when Li Laisheng was emotional, he felt his foot being touched. He turned his head to look, the elder son glanced at him, and then silently poured tea. Li Laisheng apologized to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, I''m sorry, I just thought of some things. I was a little distracted. You have been waiting for a long time." Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "I didn''t wait long, I suddenly came to talk to you about such an important matter. Mr. Li was not prepared, so I really need to consider it." Li Laisheng smiled, and suddenly said cheerfully: "Mr. Xia, don''t worry about it, I am willing to sell the equity to you!" "I also hope you can bring down the Swire Consortium!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked him again and again: "Mr. Li understands the righteousness, thank you for your help, you have helped me a lot, I must remember it in my heart, thank you!" Li Laisheng waved his hand and said modestly: "It''s not a big deal, this is normal business cooperation." Now that Li Laisheng has agreed, the rest are the details. Xia Yu remembered what Li Laisheng had just said, and he asked: "Mr. Li, you said there are some inside stories just now. I don''t know what it is?" Li Laisheng said immediately: "That''s it." "Mr. Xia, you have investigated Swire Industrial Group. You should know the industrial structure of Swire Industrial Group." Xia Yu nodded in cooperation, indicating that he knew. Li Laisheng continued: "Many of these companies have direct business dealings with our family, such as Swire Paints Co., Ltd., Swire Rubber Co., Ltd., and so on." "For our family at that time, Swire Industries Group was a major customer, and Swire Industries Group also needed a stable and affordable supplier. Therefore, in order to deepen the relationship between the two parties, our family and Swire Industries Group held mutual shares." "At that time, Swire Industrial Group transferred 5.2% of the equity of Kepong Group to our family, and we also transferred 5.5% of the equity of Kepong Group to Swire Industrial Group. Some cash." "By now, the business relationship between Swire Industrial Group and our family has actually become ordinary." "I hope, Mr. Xia, after you have acquired Swire Industrial Group, you can sell your 5.5% equity in Kepong Group back to us." Xia Yu nodded immediately and said, "It''s okay, this one can be written into the contract." Li Laisheng smiled and nodded, and replied, "I''m relieved with your words, Mr. Xia." "The rest is the price issue." Xia Yu took the initiative to hand over the bid to Li Laisheng, and asked softly: "Mr. Li, can you make an offer." As a seller, Li Laisheng feels that he is not good at bidding. So he kicked the ball back to Xia Yu lightly. He said with a warm smile: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know the current situation of Swire Industrial Group. Or you can ask for a price. I will sell it if it suits you. In short, the purpose is hello, me, and everyone." "Business is only temporary, and friendship is long-lasting." "Mr. Lee is right. Getting acquainted with you is the biggest gain from my trip to Kuala Lumpur. Compared with that, everything else is secondary." Xia Yu also said with a drink. After speaking, he pondered for a moment, worrying that Li Laisheng would ask Qiu Deba afterwards, and his own acquisition of Qiu Deba¡¯s equity in Taikoo Co., Ltd. was equivalent to a 35 percent premium, so he now gave the Li family a lower price. not good. Furthermore, the value of Swire Industrial Group and Swire Co., Ltd. is very different. With the proportion of shares held by the Li family, even if the premium is 35%, it is not much more. Anyway, the money came from the Song family, and he didn''t need to make Li Laisheng dissatisfied. Thinking of this, he solemnly said: "Well, Mr. Li, the market value of Taikoo Industrial Group is now fluctuating up and down at 2.140 billion Hong Kong dollars. I use this price as the base." "Then the premium is 35%. The 5.2% of the equity your family holds is valued at 115.02 million Hong Kong dollars. The fraction will be erased. I will give you 150 million Hong Kong dollars. whole." "I bought the equity of Mr. Qiu Deba, also at this premium ratio. I treat you with the same respect as I treat him, so I treat him equally." "And you can observe the situation in Xiangjiang in the next one or two months, and you will find that if you sell the equity to me now, you are definitely selling it right." "Do you think this price is okay?" Xia Yu said so candidly, and the price he gave is indeed not low. Considering what Xia Yu said in his words, it is obvious that the value of Taikoo Industrial Group will fall, so he didn''t say the price. So he nodded very simply and smiled: "Mr. Xia is so generous, if I am no longer satisfied, I will appear too greedy." "I have no objection, just as you say." After speaking, he said with emotion: "I didn''t expect you to go to Qiu Deba for the sake of Swire Co., Ltd., your hand is not so big, admire it!" He knew that the size and market value of Swire Holdings were more than several times that of Swire Industries Group, and Swire Holdings was the core pillar of the Swire Consortium. Xia Yu is now working on these two companies at the same time, or that he knows only these two, then Xia Yu must have launched a full-scale attack on the Taikoo consortium. This kind of financial strength, strength and courage is far from their Li family. He had heard of Xia Yu''s legendary experience before, and he also deliberately collected relevant information. It was shocking at the time, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, the shock was even greater. At this moment, Li Laisheng suddenly felt that being able to get acquainted with Xia Yu and have a good relationship was the most correct thing he did. "Mr. Li, thank you again for your generosity." Xia Yu got up, said with a big smile, and at the same time stretched out a hand to Li Laisheng. Li Laisheng stretched out his hand, holding the old and the young tightly together. After releasing, Xia Yu said: "Mr. Li, because I have to fight back to Xiangjiang tonight, I hope to complete the cooperation as soon as possible now." Li Laisheng nodded immediately and agreed: "No problem, then I will let someone come over now, where is your person, Mr. Xia?" "I''ll borrow the phone and let them come directly." "Ok." ... Not long after Xia Yu finished the phone call, his acquisition team led to Li''s manor, led by employees who knew the situation in the local branch. After some negotiation, the complete contract was freshly released, the price was filled in, and the signature was exchanged. Xia Yu took out a cheque, wrote the number of 150 million Hong Kong dollars, signed and sealed it, handed it to Li Laisheng, pointed to a middle-aged Chinese and said, "Mr. Li, this is I have a large cheque from Jiuding Bank. This is Su Shanming, the bank president of Jiuding Bank Kuala Lumpur branch. You can ask him to take you to the transfer later." Li Laisheng took the check and glanced at the numbers. After confirming that it was correct, he solemnly accepted and said, "Okay." Then he smiled and politely said to Su Shanming: "Mr. Su, I will trouble you later. Our group opens an account at your bank. Later I will ask my son to come with you and transfer the money to us. On your account." "No problem, thank Mr. Li for supporting our bank!" Su Shanming said with a slight bow. After that, Xia Yu accepted the contract and the certificate of equity, shook hands with Li Laisheng, thanked again, and said goodbye. "Mr. Li, thank you again for your help and support I wanted to nag you for a while, but because tomorrow is Monday, the stock market has to reopen, so I must hurry back and sit here as soon as possible. I regret to say goodbye to you." Li Laisheng nodded and said, "I understand, your business is more important." "I won''t be able to keep you too much today. Anyway, we also know each other. There will be more opportunities in the future. When you come to Kuala Lumpur, you must come and sit with me." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "That''s for sure. You have traveled more bridges than I have traveled. I will come to learn more from you if I have the opportunity." "If you come to Xiangjiang at any time, you must let me do my best to be a landlord." "Definitely!" Li Laisheng said with a smile. "Then I will leave first." "I will give it to you!" ... After leaving Li''s house, Xia Yu rushed to Kuala Lumpur''s airport and caught up with the passenger plane that took off at 5:30 to Xiangjiang. When the plane arrived at the Hong Kong Qi Tak International Airport, it was already more than nine o''clock in the evening. After asking the driver to wait for someone to get out of the airport garage, Xia Yu drove back to his home in the car. He felt a little tired after traveling for two days and fell asleep after washing. It was the early morning of July 20 in a blink of an eye. Xia Yu was eating breakfast at home, looking at the newspaper, and watching the highly provocative pieces of news above, his eyes became deep and his thoughts gradually floated out of the sky. The curtain is about to open... PS: Coincidentally, tomorrow is Monday, and the plot also starts on Monday. Today I am going to change more than 14,000 words. I wanted to write another chapter, but unfortunately, I wasted more than two hours in the meeting tonight. I can only write such a chapter. Tomorrow is the beginning of January. Will the recommended monthly pass be given to me as a Children¡¯s Day gift? /Poor/ https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1022: 2 consortia opened After eating breakfast, Xia Yu arrived at Jiuding Building early and saw Huo Jianning sitting on the sofa waiting for him in the office. "Morning, chairman!" "This is the secret document brought by President Liu of Jiuding Bank, President Liddell of Standard Chartered Bank, President Greg of Jiuding Insurance Company, and President Wang of Jiuding Securities yesterday afternoon. It is about the statistics of acquired equity. Let me Hand it to you this morning!" After getting up to say hello respectfully, Huo Jianning immediately handed the kraft paper document bag to Xia Yu. "Well, thanks for your hard work, waiting here so early." Xia Yu patted Huo Jianning on the shoulder, said kindly, and then took over the paper bag. "No hard work, this is what I should do." Huo Jianning finished speaking modestly, and immediately went to make tea for Xia Yu. Because time was urgent to rush to Jiuding Securities before the opening of the stock market, Xia Yu didn''t have time to deal with Huo Jianning, so he directly opened the file bag and took out the file to read it. In the year before last, he had already ordered Jiuding Securities to continuously absorb the equity of the relevant companies of the Swire Consortium. At that time, he was indeed optimistic, and he also considered preparedness. Then when there are Jiuding Insurance Company, Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Insurance Company will also deliberately purchase companies from the Swire Consortium. Not to mention Standard Chartered Bank. After the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, Xia Yu told Gals Liddell that the shares of the Swire Consortium could not be sold. After adding the layout, he asked these four companies to take the initiative to collect the corresponding equity, so now the four companies hold a lot of equity in their hands, and the companies involved are also very large. However, after browsing, Xia Yu remembered some of the more important equity in his mind. The first is the core Swire Company. Jiuding Securities originally invested and secretly acquired it recently, holding a total of 7.4% of the equity. Then Standard Chartered Bank holds 4.6%, and Jiuding Insurance Holds 4.3%, and the three companies together hold 16.3% of the equity. And the Qiu family''s 7.8% equity in Star City was also taken, and the Song family''s 6.7% was in the bag and could be taken at any time. If these two shares are added, Xia Yu will control 30.8% of Swire''s shares in one fell swoop. Then there is the equity of Swire Industrial Group. He Hongshen matched the bridge. Jiuding Securities took the 5.6% of the equity held by the He Group of Hejia Hejia. Then Feng Jingxi of Sun Hung Kai Securities gave Wang Qi a lot of face. Transfer of 3.4% of the shares held. Coupled with the secret acquisition from the secondary market, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. actually holds 17.4% of the equity. Standard Chartered Bank originally held a 5.1% stake, and at the weekend it took over a 4.1% stake held by the Xiali Lila Group. Counting the 5.2% equity that he bought from the Kuala Lumpur Kepong Group last weekend, Xia Yu actually already holds 31.8% of the Swire Industrial Group. Then there are Swire Trading Group, Swire Warehouse Company, Swire Shipping Company... a series of companies have substantial shares. In general, the preparatory work here is very adequate, which also benefits from the accumulation of equity in the past two years. These equity is enough to be used as a shell to destroy the Swire Consortium! When Xia Yu finished watching, it was almost nine o''clock. It is estimated that Song Bo should have been waiting at Jiuding Securities Company a long time ago. Xia Yu immediately left the office with the documents and drove to the headquarters of Jiuding Securities Company. Sure enough, when Xia Yu arrived, he saw Song Bo watching next to Wang Qi. Seeing Xia Yu appearing, Song Bo¡¯s face was filled with enthusiasm, and he greeted Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, good morning!" "Mr. Song, good morning!" After shaking hands and saying hello, Xia Yu apologized and said, "Mr. Song, I''m sorry to keep you waiting. It took me a little longer to deal with things at the headquarters." Song Bo laughed and said nonchalantly: "It didn''t take long to wait, and I just arrived not long. After arriving, Mr. Wang Qi came to entertain me in his busy schedule." After speaking, Song Bo couldn''t help asking: "Mr. Xia, I heard from Mr. Wang Qi that you went to Southeast Asia in the past two days. You should have gained a lot, right?" After speaking, he looked at Xia Yu with a look of expectation. Xia Yu smiled, nodded and said, "It is indeed a big gain, Mr. Song, let''s go to the office and talk." "Ok!" After Song Bo finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the office with Xia Yu. As soon as Song Bo sat down, Xia Yu spoke first before he asked him actively. "Mr. Song, is there any progress on your side?" Song Bo did not hide it, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, the progress of my acquisition is not big. On the side of Swire Industrial Group, I only acquired 4.3% of the shares held by the Bank of East Asia. The original is only 9.7%." "As for Swire Trading Group, I only acquired 5.4% of the shares held by Dachang Commercial Bank, plus our original one, it was 17.8%." "This kind of shareholding ratio is simply too difficult to achieve the goal." "Mr. Xia, I can only count on your help." Xia Yu said with a light smile: "Mr. Song, your family has a lot of equity, plus what I bought, Swire Industrial Group is enough to give you a firm foothold." Song Bo''s eyes lit up, and boundless expectations rose in his heart. He couldn''t wait to ask the situation: "Mr. Xia, how much is it?" Xia Yu smiled faintly and introduced the real situation: "Now I have a total of 31.8% of Swire Industrial Group''s equity, plus your own ownership, which has reached more than 40%. ." Song Bo opened his eyes and said in surprise: "There are so many?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded. After Song Bochang laughed, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xia, what about Swire Trading Group?" For this company, the results are indeed not great. Xia Yu calmly said: "Mr. Song, I only took the equity of Swire Trading Group held by Hysan Group. As for Stephen and Wheelock, I am still Let people fight hard, but I don¡¯t know when there will be results." Although it is regrettable that Swire Trading Group¡¯s shareholding is far lower than that of Swire Industrial Group, Song Bo did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction. He still smiled gratefully and said, "Mr. Xia, thank you!" After thanking him, Song Bo cheered and asked again: "By the way, when can this equity be transferred to me?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "When the market is about to open, the stock market is more important. Or after the market closes at 4 pm, you can bring the equity of Swire Group 1 other than Swire Industrial Group and Swire Commerce Group. Find it, and after calculating the value, we will replace it at equal value." "No problem, just do what you mean." Song Bo nodded happily. Time gradually passed and the market opening time soon came. At the close of trading last Friday, the Hang Seng Index also reached a new high of two-five of 1,861. However, after two days, as the media continued to interpret and add fuel to the fire, the impact of the bank association¡¯s interest rate hike eventually spread on a large scale ~ www.novelhall.com ~ investors voted with their feet. As soon as the stock market opened, the Hang Seng Index fell immediately to 1838.30, and the stocks of the entire exchange were almost in decline. At first glance, investment institutions and investors saw that the Hang Seng Index fell sharply, and their mentality was affected. Funds began to flee. There were a lot of stock selling orders on the market, and prices generally went lower. Wang Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, gave orders for the closing price of last Friday to place many buy orders for the shares of a series of listed companies of the Swire Consortium. Some unidentified investors thought it was an institution that did not respond to the high price order, and immediately sold their own stocks. More and more stocks entered the account of Jiuding Securities Company. It just keeps going by over time. The Hang Seng Index is still fluctuating violently, but the stock purchase orders for a series of listed companies of the Swire Consortium have not decreased. Some flexible-minded investors and institutions have begun to realize that it is wrong. There is definitely a problem! Investment institutions launched contacts to investigate, but Jiuding Securities did not conceal the account this time, so it was easy to find out. The investigator was shocked. There was a battle for Taikoo Airlines that took place some time ago. Swire consortium. After the judgment, the institution immediately stopped selling stocks and began to buy again. When the overall market fluctuated and fell, the stock prices of Swire Holdings, Swire Industrial Group and other companies began to go public against the market. People who were slow to realize it were wrong. After a while, a shocking news coaxed the exchanges. Jiuding Securities is acquiring equity in a series of companies of the Swire Consortium on a large scale. The two consortia are going to fight again! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1023: Complete liquidation to raise funds! The Jiuding Consortium and the Swire Consortium went to war again, and it even covered all the listed companies of the Swire Consortium. The intensity of this battle is not comparable to the previous Swire Airlines battle. As long as mindful stockholders and institutional investors understand what this means. Therefore, thanks to this news, investors'' enthusiasm for investment is soaring, and the trading volume of the entire stock market has begun to skyrocket. The major investment institutions had originally transferred funds to earn interest margins, but after judging that the stock market would skyrocket at least in the short term, they immediately moved the funds back and mobilized funds to enter the market. The skyrocketing trading volume and the entry of large sums of money into the market directly caused the Hang Seng Index, which fell at the opening, to rise, easily overcome the loss and continue to rise. This scene is exactly what Xia Yu enjoys. He was happy, but Norman Shi Yahuai, who was holding a one-week meeting in Swire Group, was furious. The anger couldn''t conceal his panic. He directly announced the adjournment of the meeting before it was over, and asked the heads of each company to rush back to their respective companies immediately, and did their best to recover the payment and raise working capital. He himself hurried to Swire Financial in Central on Hong Kong Island. At this critical moment, the only thing that can resist and fight back is his money bag-Swire Financial. The president of Swire Financial is Cedric Quincy, who is 57 years old this year and has been in the financial market for more than 30 years. He is an elite among the elite and a powerful confidant of Norman Shiyahuai. When Norman Shiyahuai arrived at Swire Financial, Cedric Quincy was intensively arranging staff actions. "Cedric, how is the situation?" Norman Shiyahuai asked eagerly. Because of the time rush, and being beaten by Jiuding Securities, Cedric Quincy was in a hurry to deal with it. Time was rushing. He had to speed up his speech and tell Norman Shiyahuai about the general situation. "Chairman, it has now been determined that Jiuding Securities will simultaneously acquire the stocks of our existing listed companies in the market, and the acquisition is very strong and the attitude is very firm." "I''m sorry, I have already mobilized funds to join the rush to raise money before you came." "At present, because other investors and investment institutions are also involved, the current situation is very chaotic, and it is very difficult to raise stocks. The best way is to speed up the order entry speed and substantially increase the buying price to raise the price." Knowing that Cedric Quincy had arranged the action in advance, Norman Shiyahuai breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Cedric did not lose the chain at the critical moment. "Good job!" Encouraging Cedric Quincy, Norman Shiyahuai immediately asked: "How much liquidity does the company have now?" Cedric Quincy''s face became solemn, and he hurriedly replied: "Chairman, I just asked people to count. After emergency stop all investment plans, the company''s current funds are only 325 million. Seventy thousand Hong Kong dollars, this still includes funds after leveraged capital allocation." "According to the current turbulent situation, this fund is too small to last long!" Norman Shiyahuai looked very ugly. The money was indeed too small. If it was used to acquire the equity of Swire Holdings, the market situation described by Cedric Quincy would not be able to acquire 5%! At present, Swire Group and Shi Yahuai Family Fund together hold 51% of Swire Holding Company''s equity, and do not get more than 66.7%. If the Jiuding Consortium comes in, it will be enough to be a **** stick. Swire Holdings made a mess. In the case of competing with Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., if you can grab another 15.7% of the equity, at least two billion! Even more, there are so many listed companies! The current capital of more than 320 million is enough for nothing! Funds must be raised as soon as possible! After only a few seconds of thinking, Norman Shiyahuai gave an order to Cedric Quincy: "Cedric, the market should be stimulated now. More and more funds will enter the stock market in the next few days, and the market will definitely It''s very messy. You immediately throw away all the stocks of the companies that are not part of the group, and the recovered funds are used to grab the equity of our company!" Cedric Quincy¡¯s face changed, and after a moment of entanglement, his expression solemnly said: ¡°Chairman, our own capital is only about 750 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investor¡¯s capital is about 1.64 billion. It only amounts to less than 2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Then the leveraged fund is about HK$4.3 billion." "Because it is still uncertain about Jiuding Securities'' action plan, if we throw away the stocks of other companies and use all the stocks of our group companies, the funds will be highly concentrated, and the risk will increase by several levels." How could Norman Shiyahuai not know this truth? But now, the fastest and best way is this, and there are fewer constraints. As long as the companies of the Swire Consortium can maintain high share prices after acquiring stocks, there is no risk of liquidation, and investors will not Will panic to get back the funds. Swire Financial¡¯s risk is high, but Norman Shiyahuai judges that the risk is worth taking! After all, in this case, it is not generally difficult for him to find the bank to borrow funds, and he has to put out a huge amount of assets as mortgage, and the bank association has just announced an interest rate hike, and the cost of his borrowing is much higher! "Execute as I said!" Norman Shiya said decisively with a sullen face, not listening to Cedric Quincy''s opinion. He has clarified the risks, but since the chairman decides to do so, Cedric Quincy can only execute. "Understand, I will let people act now!" After that, Cedric Quincy checked the employees'' acquisition operations again and quickly mobilized other employees to perform the work of liquidation. Norman Shi Yahuai went to see the stock price of each listed company. When I saw that Swire''s opening price today was HK$13.1 per share, the stock price has actually risen to HK$15.2 per share in about an hour, an increase of 16 points. Swire''s market value has also risen to more than HK$6.84 billion. Although the market value of more than 8 billion at its peak a few months before being taken away by Swire Airlines is still more than 1 billion, according to this rising trend, it will be sooner or later that the market value will regain lost ground and reach its peak again. He estimates It will happen tomorrow. If he is usually happy, but now the more the stock price rises, the more irritable he is. He resisted the irritability and continued to look at the situation of other companies. Swire Warehouse Company... Swire Shipping... Swire Industrial Group... ... The stock price of every listed company has skyrocketed, and the lowest has risen by 12 points in the past hour. He also asked about the trader¡¯s acquisition situation and learned that the previous rush to raise was very difficult, because the market was quite chaotic. Buy orders of different prices were thrown out, and sell orders were occasionally placed, and the quantity was also uneven. It is not complete, when it is small, it can be eaten by other institutions in one bite, and when it is large, how much is left after filling in the corresponding price, but just wanted to place the order, it has been snatched away. Fortunately, he has just authorized it to substantially increase the purchase price. It¡¯s just that the drawbacks are also obvious. It will stimulate the market even more and make the stock prices of various companies rise faster. After all, they are not earning a mid-price for buying and selling, but only buying and not selling. But at this time, what can be done? You have to drink the chronic poison. Whether you can win the antidote before the poison dies depends on your ability! After a while, Cedric Quincy returned again. After Norman Shiyahuai once again instructed him, he authorized him with full authority, and then went to HSBC in a hurry. Cedric Quincy on the stock market is temporarily able to stabilize, but it is too difficult to acquire equity from the secondary market. He must acquire the equity in the hands of those major shareholders as soon as possible. This is the lowest cost and fastest way to success. ! Because Swire Financial was also in the middle ring, less than a hundred meters away from HSBC, Norman Shiyahuai soon came to HSBC. It happened that he met an acquaintance in the elevator, and a piece of news he learned from his mouth made him feel like burning his ass. People from Jiuding Securities are here, and they are now negotiating with Chairman Shen Bi and others! After asking about the meeting place, Norman Shiya got out of the elevator and walked quickly toward the place, while praying in his heart... https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1024: Deliberately trapped "Is your president in there?" After finding the place, Wade Shiyahuai asked, watching the two employees standing at the door guarding the door. "Yes!" "Mr. Shi Yahuai, there is something wrong with our chairman. You might as well go to the reception room and so on." An employee knew Norman Shi Yahuai, so he said humbly without asking him if he had an appointment. Norman Shi Yahuai was already distraught, how could he agree, he said directly: "The thing I''m looking for is what he is talking about now. Can you take the responsibility if something goes wrong?" The employee was suddenly speechless and his expression kept changing. Norman Shi Yahuai gave the bodyguard behind him a wink, and the bodyguard immediately blocked the two employees, and then Norman Shi Yahuai directly opened the door and entered. The two groups of people in the room who were negotiating all stopped and looked at Norman Shiyahuai and others who came in suddenly from outside. Shen Bi looked at Yuan Tianfan who was sitting opposite, showing an inexplicable smile, then stood up and walked towards Norman Shi Yahuai. "Norman, why are you here?" Norman Shiyahuai immediately said: "Michael, I''m sorry to come in so rudely, but I''m afraid I''ll be late when I''m late. I hope I can talk to you." At this time, Yuan Tianfan, who was still sitting in his position, suddenly interrupted and said, "Mr. Shi Yahuai, you must come first and come first for everything. If you have anything to do, wait until we finish talking with Mr. Shen Bi. This is the most basic etiquette." Shen Bi, who wanted to speak, narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Norman Shi Yahuai with some embarrassment, meaning it was self-evident. How could Norman Shi Yahuai be willing? Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was originally the enemy, and Yuan Tianfan would be able to negotiate smoothly with Shen Bi unless his brain was amused. He had an impatient tone and said rudely: "Etiquette is for friends, you are not qualified!" As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. In fact, Norman Shi Yahuai came in suddenly and caught Yuan Tianfan''s arms. This situation was something he hadn''t expected before, but it was the most beneficial to their plan. He had a headache. How could he let Norman Shiyahuai know that they had bought shares in HSBC? Now he doesn''t need it anymore. Direct competition is the best! If you want to make the plan more effective, the current climate is still far away. The more tense the atmosphere, the better! So he directly sneered and said: "Hehe, we are not qualified? I don''t even bother!" "I know what your purpose is, but I''m not afraid to tell you that HSBC holds equity such as Swire Holdings, we have to decide!" "We lack everything, we just don''t lack money!" After speaking, Yuan Tianfan stopped looking at Norman Shi Yahuai, who was flushed with anger. He smiled and looked at Shen Bi and said: "Mr. Shen, some people think that personal relationships can make you embarrassing requests, but people in the market It''s still up to you to please me, and the higher price will get!" "You also have to be responsible for the shareholders, so I won''t make it difficult for you!" "We are very sincere. Based on today''s stock market closing price, we are willing to purchase the equity of all Swire Group companies at a premium. This is our greatest sincerity!" As soon as Yuan Tianfan said this, Norman Shi Yahuai, who was already very angry, was shocked, and at the same time he felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. In front of him, the helm of the Taikoo consortium, he directly said that he wanted to buy shares in his company, and the bid was very arrogant. Yuan Tianfan slapped him in the face naked. But as far as Shen Bi is concerned, Yuan Tianfan''s step is quite timely, and he can face Norman Shi Yahuai more calmly. Shen Bi looked at Norman Shi Yahuai with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "Norman, please understand that I really have to be responsible for the company and the shareholders. The friendship between us." How can Norman Shiyahuai say no? Although I was very angry and disgusting, I had to smile and nodded and said: "Michael, I understand, I won''t let you break the rules." "I am also willing to double the price. I hope you can sell all the shares of all companies back to me!" Norman Shi Yahuai made a bid, marking the official entry into the bidding stage. Yuan Tianfan said immediately: "Mr. Shen Bi, we can all offer a premium of 110%, and we can buy and sell all in cash! Absolutely in arrears!" Good guy, as soon as Yuan Tianfan said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Norman Shi Yahuai''s face was as black as pot stickers, just like his dead father. And Shen Bi was shocked by the strength of Jiuding Securities. Taking the shares of the Swire Consortium currently held by HSBC, based on the stock market''s upward trend today, and calculated by the closing price this afternoon, it is conservatively estimated to be worth at least 1.5 billion! According to Yuan Tianfan''s words, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has to spend at least more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Even if this money is not from Jiuding Securities Co., it can prove the strength of the Jiuding Consortium! Anyway, with the strength of HSBC, 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash is not impossible to raise, but it will definitely not be as easy as Yuan Tianfan said. And this is why Norman Shiyahuai felt so stressed. With the financial strength displayed by Jiuding Securities, and then think about the funds of Swire Financial, it is as difficult for him to win this war! But no matter how difficult it is, he must try his best to keep it! Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said to Shen Bi: "Michael, I am willing to pay a premium of 120% and also pay in cash!" Shen Bi''s eyes instantly deepened, and he looked at Norman Shi Yahuai with a solemn face. He was sure that he did not seem to be joking, but he was very clear to the Swire Consortium, but he did not believe that Norman Shi Yahuai could come up with the money. Yuan Tianfan said mockingly: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, there are some things you can''t say nonsense. If you say it, you can cash it out. I doubt you can get so much money?" Norman Shiyahuai had bloodshot scalp and flushed complexion. He bit his neck and snorted coldly in reply: "If I can''t get it, you can''t control it. Anyway, you don''t even want to touch these shares!" Yuan Tianfan shrugged indifferently, and said with a chuckle: "It''s not you who have the final say, the higher the price is, our attitude is also here, we have to decide on these equity!" Then he raised the price sharply and said: "Mr. Shen Bi, as a sign of sincerity, we are willing to pay a premium of 150% for all equity! Full cash payment!" Norman Shi Yahuai was already riding a tiger, but at this time he had no retreat and could only continue to follow. "I''m willing to pay a premium of 160%, also in cash!" "We have a 170% premium!" Yuan Tianfan was confident and calmly continued to raise prices with a very tough attitude. ... "I''m at a premium of two hundred percent!" Norman Shiyahuai''s face was flushed, and he said emotionally. The pressure in his heart had already suppressed him almost out of breath which made it difficult for him to control his emotions. Shen Bi, who had never had a chance to speak, sensed that a taste was coming. Yuan Tianfan took the opportunity to deliberately irritate Norman Shi Yahuai, and Norman Shi Yahuai had to hold on no matter whether he noticed it or not. Taking into account the general relationship with the Jiuding Consortium and the close relationship with Norman Shi Yahuai and the Taikoo Consortium, Shen Bi stepped up to make ends meet when Yuan Tianfan wanted to increase the fare again. "Mr. Yuan, Norman, let¡¯s calm down. Now that the equity is with us, I haven¡¯t considered whether to sell or not, so it¡¯s useless if you fight now. I think you let me think about it for a few days. I decided to Sell, I will contact you again to discuss the price, how about?" Hearing Shen Bi''s words, Norman Shi Yahuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cast a grateful look at Shen Bi, and Shen Bi pretended not to see it. And Yuan Tianfan smiled and nodded and said: "Mr. Shen said it is reasonable. The business really pays attention to your wishes. Then wait for you to consider it first. I hope you must inform me. My price will not make SF Bank suffer. !" "The price I just offered has been valid!" Shen Bi said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, I can feel your sincerity, don''t worry, as long as I think about it, I will notify you." Yuan Tianfan smiled and nodded, then stood up and stretched out his hand to Shen Bi, who immediately reached out and shook Yuan Tianfan''s hand. "Mr. Shen, then I won''t disturb you, let''s go first." "Okay, go slowly!" Before leaving, Yuan Tianfan glanced at Norman Shi Yahuai, smiled provocatively, and then decisively left with someone. For a while, the atmosphere in the house was a bit stagnant. PS: In the past few days, there was a problem with the starting point. I cannot comment. I hope you will know. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1025: Want to pledge 0 billion assets? "Norman, go talk to my office." Realizing that the atmosphere is a bit awkward, it''s not a problem to stay here, Shen Bi immediately proposed to Norman Shi Yahuai. Norman Shi Yahuai immediately followed Shen Bi''s words and nodded in response: "Okay, let''s listen to your arrangements." Subsequently, Shen Bi sent away the other subordinates involved in the negotiation, and then took Norman Shi Yahuai to his office, with Norman Shi Yahuai''s bodyguards and assistants guarding at the door. Seeing that no one else was present, Norman Shi Yahuai immediately said: "Michael, you must not sell my company''s equity to Jiuding Securities this time!" In order to increase persuasiveness, he forcedly explained: "As Jiuding Bank becomes stronger and stronger, it has already had serious competition with HSBC, and Standard Chartered Bank is also biased towards the Jiuding Consortium. The entire Xiangjiang has the largest business volume with HSBC. It is our Swire Group." "If you think about the Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine consortiums in the past, they were all HSBC''s super clients, but after being annexed by the Chinese consortium headed by the Jiuding Consortium, the business with HSBC was basically cut off. I don¡¯t want to break it, but because the contract time has not arrived, it will be a matter of time. Even if I am an outsider, I know that HSBC¡¯s business volume has been greatly affected." "If my Swire Group is also taken away by the Jiuding Consortium this time, then for HSBC, the loss will be irreversible and unbearable." Although knowing that what Norman Shiyahuai said is the truth, Shen Bi is not stupid and will not cause HSBC to suffer huge losses. It''s just a show, the basic skills of the workplace, who can''t? Shen Bi said with an expression of approval: "Norman, what you are talking about is the real situation. I know all this, and you and I are also old friends, so I just interrupted the continued bidding between you. As someone else, I¡¯m sure to wish you can continue to bid, the higher the price, the better!" Norman Shi Yahuai expressed gratitude and said "thank you". Shen Bi sighed and continued: "But you also know that Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation has the final say, but I also have a parent company above me. We can consider these far-reaching influences. It is hard to say whether the parent company only has the pound sterling in its eyes. ." "Just now you have offered a premium of 200%, and I am not the only one present. The news can no longer be blocked. Maybe it will arrive in London tomorrow." "My activity space has become smaller. This is because I interrupted your continued bidding in time. Even if I want to take care of you, I can''t take care of too much, otherwise the parent company will definitely intervene." Norman Shi Yahuai couldn''t tell whether what Shen Bi said was true or false, but he didn''t have time to tell at this time, because he suddenly woke up, and there is a more important information to confirm with Shen Bi first. Last time Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company were taken away by the Jiuding Consortium. Although there is a relationship with the Song family, HSBC also has an inescapable responsibility. If it had not been forcibly taken away by the parent company of HSBC last time, maybe now He is still fighting with the Jiuding Consortium in the aviation field! He hurriedly asked: "Michael, now the equity of my other companies are still with you, don''t tell me that your parent company transferred the equity again." After speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai looked at Shen Bi nervously. Shen Bi showed a smile and shook his head to comfort him: "Norman, this time you can rest assured that the parent company does not intervene anymore and the equity is still with me." Norman Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief: "It''s such a lucky news." "Michael, since the equity is here, you must sell it to me!" He solemnly begged Shen Bi. Shen Bi looked embarrassed and explained: "Norman, you have been watching just now. I have promised Yuan Tianfan of Jiuding Securities Co., as long as I think about it, I will definitely notify them." "If I sell the equity directly to you, then I will lose my trust, and I will also offend Jiuding Securities, and the nature will change." "You should know that HSBC and Jiuding Securities have always had a cooperative relationship. Dingfeng Securities is a company jointly owned by us, and it is now developing very well in the securities field." Norman Shiya was anxious, seriously suspecting that Shen Bi was trying to sell a higher price. It''s no wonder that he suspects Shen Bi with sinister thoughts. After all, every 10% premium can be more than one or two billion Hong Kong dollars. This is not a small amount! He really wanted to bid with Jiuding Securities Company again. With the attitude that Yuan Tianfan showed just now, he didn''t have a trace of confidence in his heart, only endless pressure. So no matter what, what you say today must make Shen Bi completely fall to him. "Michael, at the price I just offered, as of the close of the market this afternoon, all the shares are at a premium of 200%. The shares are sold to me. I have kept the Swire Group. The relationship with HSBC will always exist and will It is getting better and better. After ten, twenty, and thirty years, HSBC can make huge profits." "If you sell your equity to Jiuding Securities, according to the Chinese, you will sell the hens that will lay golden eggs. Jiuding Bank will grow stronger. If you lose the business volume of Swire Group, HSBC will suffer. Estimated loss." Shen Bi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Norman, at the price you just offered, it is a premium of 200%, paid in full in cash, can you do it?" Norman Shiyahuai was speechless. Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai¡¯s expression, Shen Bi smiled clearly. He knew that Norman Shi Yahuai would definitely not be able to get it out. Just bite the bullet and bid with Yuan Tianfan. If it weren¡¯t for him, even if he stopped, Norman ¡¤Shi Yahuai don''t even think of stepping down. Seeing Shen Bi¡¯s smile, Norman Shiyahuai was very embarrassed, but he still cheated and quibbleed: "Michael, although I can''t take out the cash, I can use the assets to mortgage the loan to HSBC for replacement." "In this case, Swire Group will be completely tied to HSBC''s chariot, and the volume of business between us will also skyrocket. HSBC will earn more interest from it every year." Shen Bi smiled unchallengedly, and did not say disagree, but said with a light smile: "Norman, with the value of the equity of the Swire group of companies currently held by HSBC, if you want to take out At least tens of billions worth of equity must be pledged for equity mortgage loans of other companies. Are you sure you can get so much?" Norman Shi Yahuai''s expression suddenly froze, and after a while his face twitched. He had to admit that what Shen Bi said was correct, but because of this, he didn''t know what to do for a while. It is conservatively estimated that the equity of a series of companies in the Swire Group held by HSBC is worth 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Then the premium is 200%, which is 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, ordinary people and ordinary companies can''t do it with stock pledged loans banks are reluctant to lend such loans, after all, the risk is too high. Even if you are willing to lend, the general loan limit is 30-40%. If you want to borrow 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, you really need tens of billions of company stocks to pledge. Even if he talked about the 50% capped pledge rate, he would have to pledge 9 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of company stocks. If you zoom in to the entire Taikoo consortium, you can still get it, but it''s about to reach its limit. But this is difficult to operate, because the assets of the loan belong to the various groups and companies of the Swire Group. The money from the loan to repurchase the equity belongs to all shareholders and must be amortized according to the shareholding ratio. It does not belong to the parent company or the Shi Yahuai family fund. , He is making wedding dresses for others. The only thing that can achieve his goal is to mortgage the assets held by the Shi Yahuai family, and the stocks bought by the loan belong to the Shi Yahuai family, so that the Shi Yahuai family can strengthen the control of the entire Swire consortium. However, the stocks held by Shi Yahuai''s family fund and the assets owned by Shi Yahuai''s family, plus those in the United Kingdom, are less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Some of these assets have already been mortgaged. So what he just said can''t be operated at all. What''s more, even if all the assets are emptied and the shares held by HSBC are taken, it is not enough to keep all the companies, and he has no funds, he will lose! Thinking of this, he had to give up this mortgage strategy. Stocks can be mortgaged, but they cannot be mortgaged so simply. The company wants to keep it, but based on the current situation, the cost required is too high, and its own strength is limited, so it can only make choices. It is important to keep the core part. Survival is the most important thing! Thinking of this, Norman Shiya was heartbroken and proposed a new plan to Shen Bi. v3 Chapter 1026: Anti-calculation 9 Ding Securities For unknown reasons, Sogou suddenly couldn''t search this site today.

"Then Michael, how about we change the way of cooperation, which will not only allow us to continue long-term cooperation, but also preserve the interests of HSBC." Shen Bi moved in his heart and asked curiously: "What way?" Norman Shiyahuai said the plan he had just thought of with a flash of inspiration. "HSBC sold me the shares of Swire Group, Swire Shipping Group, Swire Industrial Group and their affiliated companies. I don¡¯t want the remaining shares of other companies. I am willing to use part of the cash and part of the equity in these companies to pledge loans. Way of trading." "For the remaining equity, I will cooperate with HSBC and bid with Jiuding Securities to increase the price, so that HSBC can make a fortune from here." "In this case, HSBC will get at least three benefits. First: The Swire Consortium will not fall, and at most streamline its strengths, but it can continue to cooperate with HSBC for a long time. Second: You will not violate your promises. You just agreed to the notice. What Jiuding Securities can do without offending them; third: HSBC can obtain greater benefits." "Michael, what do you think?" After that, Norman Shi Yahuai stared at Shen Bi with scorching eyes, hoping that he could agree. Shen Bi did not immediately agree, but carefully considered it. In fact, he has made up his mind on one point, that is, the Swire Consortium cannot fall. If the Swire Consortium is annexed by Chinese capital led by the Jiuding Consortium, it will definitely do harm to HSBC. Because the Jardine Consortium and Hutchison Whampoa were dismembered and annexed before, HSBC¡¯s business volume has been reduced by a lot, especially last year. Although the overall revenue has been growing, the growth rate has fallen sharply, combined with the overall social Analyzing the economic growth rate, HSBC has actually regressed, and the impact will continue for many years. Standard Chartered does not unite with their HSBC, but prefers Jiuding Bank. If the Swire Consortium falls and loses its business, how can HSBC compete with Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank? Therefore, the Swire Consortium must not fall! But he also knows that with the current strength of the Shi Yahuai family, it is no longer possible to keep the entire Swire consortium. Fortunately, Norman Shi Yahuai dared to make up his mind and prepare to survive by docking his tail, only to keep the core group companies, which he is happy to see. . To be honest, if Norman Shiyahuai told him from the beginning that he was prepared to survive by docking and shrinking capital, then he would definitely release the water early to protect the Swire consortium. Fortunately, Norman Shiya has a gulf in his chest, and he also thought of playing Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. so as to let HSBC get more benefits. With this benefit to make up for, then he can put more water to complete Norman Shi Yahuai. It¡¯s just that Shen Bi still has one concern. He said to Norman Shi Yahuai: ¡°Norman, there is another shortcoming of your plan, that is, it lacks the three main components of Swire Group, Swire Shipping Group and Swire Industrial Group. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will not necessarily need the remaining shares of the company after the shareholding, and our bureau may not be able to do well." Norman Shiyahuai contemplated for a moment, and proposed: "Michael, we can do this. You just make an excuse to say that you have made a mistake before. In fact, these shares have been sold. As for Jiuding Securities, it doesn''t matter whether you believe it or not." "You can release the news about the remaining company''s equity, and I will fully cooperate with your hype." "Although I don''t want to see some things happen, what can be expected is that besides Jiuding Consortium and Song Family, there will definitely be other Chinese consortiums participating this time. Jiuding Securities does not want these shares. There will always be other Chinese consortia. The consortium wants it." "For HSBC, it is better not to sell these shares to Jiuding Securities. What do you think?" Shen Bi thought for a while and nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense, as long as you are willing to cooperate fully, you should be able to guarantee our interests." Norman Shiyahuai said decisively: "Of course I will fully cooperate, and no one else would have thought that I would take the initiative to give up these shares to work with you." Norman Shi Yahuai had said this, and Shen Bi''s last worry was also dispelled. Then there is no need to waste time... He said very bluntly: "Norman, I agree to your plan. All the shares associated with Swire Group, Swire Shipping Group and Swire Industrial Group can be sold to you." "As for the price..." In Norman Shi Yahuai¡¯s nervous attention, Shen Bi suddenly smiled after he indulged for a moment and said: "I will not continue to raise prices, I will trade at a premium of 200%. I think, if the stock market goes on like this. It¡¯s possible for the stock price to rise five or six times. Now you set the price yourself and it¡¯s not too expensive." Norman Shiyahuai quickly said with a smile: "Of course it''s not expensive, Michael, thank you!" Shen Bi smiled and shook his head and said, "No thanks." "I will let people count now, how many company shares are there..." ... On this day, the stock market was fighting fiercely. Like cats smelling fishy, ??all kinds of capital rushed to the stock market frantically, trying to get a piece of the pie. This further pushed up the share prices of listed companies belonging to the Swire Group. When the market closed in the afternoon, the stock price of the core Swire Group had risen to 18.86 Hong Kong dollars per share, and its market value reached more than 8.490 billion Hong Kong dollars, which directly exceeded the normal market value before the loss of Swire Airlines. Visible competition is fierce. Even so, it was because the Swire Group was too large, so the closing price increased by about 42% from the opening price. The Swire Shipping Group is not listed, but its subordinates Swire Warehouse and Swire Shipping are both listed companies. The closing prices of the two companies have increased by 52 points and 51 points respectively from the opening prices. The market value of Swire Warehouse has risen to more than HK$1.890 billion. Swire Shipping¡¯s market value today is fixed at more than 2.52 billion Hong Kong dollars. As for the Swire Industrial Group that the Song family needed, the closing price was 48% higher than the opening price, and the stock price was fixed at 11.1 Hong Kong dollars per share, with a market value of more than 3,167 million Hong Kong dollars. The stock prices of some other listed companies have increased by at least 40%. The transaction price of the equity of non-listed companies is unknown, but it is certain that the increase in the stock price of listed companies will become the seller¡¯s price indicator. After the stock market closed, Norman Shi Yahuai, who had counted the number of shares, immediately negotiated with Shen Bi. Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai did not expect that the stock price would rise so fiercely today. According to statistics, according to the closing price in the afternoon, the real-time value of the equity required by Norman Shi Yahuai reached 1,116 million. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars. At a premium of 200%, Norman Shiyahuai paid 3.348 billion Hong Kong dollars. Feeling the tremendous pressure, Norman Shi Yahuai was also a little grateful. Fortunately, he decided to abandon some companies, otherwise he would really be unable to fight the Jiuding Consortium! The premium of 200% is really not too high! Afterwards, he immediately negotiated with Shen Bi, and the final result was half of the cash payment and half of the purchase with asset pledge loans. Shen Bi was also very proud and gave Norman Shi Yahuai the loosest pledge rate-50%. This means that Norman Shi Yahuai only needs to put out a pledge of equity assets worth 3.348 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he can loan to 1.674 billion Hong Kong dollars. The specific transaction time, the two agreed to complete within two days, the specific time depends on the speed of Norman Shi Yahuai''s raising funds and sorting assets. Once the transaction is successful, except for the Swire Group, which actually controls more than 51%. The Shi Yahuai family¡¯s cumulative shareholding in Swire Warehouse will increase to 55.9% and the cumulative shareholding of Swire Shipping will increase to 49.9% . Swire Group''s shareholding ratio will increase to 47.8%. Based on this situation, Norman Shiyahuai is fully confident that these four listed companies can be controlled. The worst case will be that the Jiuding Consortium infiltrates and obtains a veto, and continues to fight. At any rate, the company has kept it. I''ll talk about the fight later. Unfortunately, this optimism of Norman Shi Yahuai is only suitable for normal situations. When encountering some special circumstances, it is hard to say...

Chapter 1027 Can make more than one billion profit! After the stock market closed that day, Norman Shi Yahuai was busy negotiating with Shen Bi in detail, and Xia Yu was also not idle. According to what he promised in the morning, he is now engaged in an equity transaction with Song Bo, who is already waiting for it. "Mr. Song, take a look first. These are the equity certificates of Swire Industrial Group and Swire Trading Group that I have acquired here, as well as related contracts." In the meeting room of Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu pushed a stack of documents to Song Bo and said with a smile. Song Bo responded with a good voice, and immediately picked up the materials and looked through it. Xia Yu smiled and looked at the stock certificate provided by Song Bo. After a while, Xia Yu read the relevant materials, and then waited for Song Bo to finish the negotiation of the deal. "Mr. Xia, I didn''t expect you to have acquired so many shares. It is really the most wise decision in my life that I ask you for help." Song Bo said happily, his smiling mouth couldn''t close. Although Xia Yu said in the morning that he had acquired 31.8% of Swire Industrial Group''s equity, he did not see it. Because he cared too much, he still felt unreliable, which led to thinking about it all day. He read all the equity certificates just now, and the total equity of Swire Industrial Group has reached 32.25%! This is 0.45% more than what Xia Yu said in the morning. It was obtained by Jiuding Securities from the high stock price during the day. And how the other equity came from, he also understood very clearly through the trading contracts. As for the equity of Swire Trading Company, there is only a small share certificate and transaction contract between Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and Hysan Group. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. bought the shares of Hysan Group at a price of 92 million Hong Kong dollars. Some Swire Trading Group has a 7.3% stake. Xia Yu said with a smile, "Mr. Song, since you have already watched it, then we will also strive for time to complete the transaction." "Okay." Song Bo answered hurriedly. Xia Yu continued: "I won''t say much about the equity of Taikoo Trading Group. The purchase price is clearly written there, 92 million Hong Kong dollars." "The key is Swire Group''s." "Except for the five companies that have signed contracts with Ho Group, Kepong Group, Standard Chartered Bank, Xiali Lira Group and Sun Hung Kai Securities, the rest were purchased by Jiuding Securities before or now." "The purchase contract with those five companies has already stated the price." "The equity of our Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is divided into two parts, of which 6.7% was previously invested and held by us, and the other 2.15% was acquired sporadically from the stock market recently." "The first 6.7 percent will be transferred to you at the closing price of last Friday afternoon as agreed, without any other fees. For the purchase, we will charge five at the previously agreed purchase price. Is the commission for the order okay?" Song Bo shook his head and said, "No problem, it was agreed before." Seeing this, Xia Yu nodded slightly and looked at Wang Qi next to him. Wang Qi handed a completed calculation form to Song Bo. "Mr. Song, take a look. This is a list of expenses." Song Bo took a closer look. ... The total amount of expenditure for the acquisition by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. on its behalf is 83.8 million Hong Kong dollars. The commission fee is five points, so the commission is 40.69 million Hong Kong dollars. Then there is the 6.7% equity of Swire Industrial Group held by Jiuding Securities, which is worth 144.4 million Hong Kong dollars based on the parity of the closing price last Friday. Song Bo needs to pay a total of 999,889,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is about to reach 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. "This number is not wrong." Song Bo put down the list and confirmed. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and then said: "Mr. Song, as agreed, now we have confirmed the value of the equity you provided." "The first is the Swire Group. You hold a total of 6.7% of the equity, which is worth 40.66 million Hong Kong dollars based on the market value at the close of the market last Friday." "The 4.2% equity interest in Swire Godown is worth 520.8 million Hong Kong dollars." "The 4.7% equity interest of Swire Shipping is worth 78.49 million Hong Kong dollars." "..." "The total value of the equity of these companies is 743 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the agreement, they will be transferred at the same price as last Friday for deduction." "After the deduction, you still need to pay us 255.66 million Hong Kong dollars in cash." After speaking, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Song Bo. Xia Yu is indeed in a good mood, and the reason is not that the commission of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, the commission is just a small head. According to today''s closing price, the value of this batch of shares worth 743.23 million Hong Kong dollars has exceeded one billion Hong Kong dollars. And considering the overall plan, Xia Yu is confident that this batch of shares will be able to withdraw more than two billion Hong Kong dollars when they are sold after the stock price rises. Simply calculating, the profit of this is more than one billion! Although Song Bo felt painful, he thought that it had been agreed before and the control plan of Taikoo Industrial Group had made breakthrough progress, and if Xia Yu did not sell the purchased equity to himself, he could make a lot of money. Relieved. And think about it carefully. If Xia Yu hadn''t launched a full-scale attack on the Swire Consortium, the stock prices of the Swire Consortium''s companies would not have soared, and it is very likely that they would fall because of bank interest rate hikes. Xia Yu should indeed obtain the profit margin for the equity transfer at a fair price. He took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Mr. Xia, this number is correct. I have the funds ready. Let''s trade now." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes." Next, enter the final transaction step. The main reason is that it took some time to accept the funds of more than 250 million Hong Kong dollars. The equity swap is only a paper work and does not need to be too time-consuming. By 6:12 pm, the transaction was fully completed. After carefully packing all the equity certificates and transaction contracts into the bag, Song Bo shook hands with Xia Yu with a smile on his face and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your help." "Next, I have to trouble you to bear with me and help me buy more equity." Xia Yu said with a smile: "No problem, this was originally agreed, Mr. Song, please rest assured, although it is difficult to acquire now, I already have a comprehensive plan." "At that time, I will hand over the equity of Swire Industrial Group and Swire Commerce Group to you, depending on whether you have enough funds." "I will definitely prepare funds with all my strength, Mr. Xia, are you free tonight, do you want to have a potluck?" "No, I''m still busy at night, I have to prepare for tomorrow''s action, next time." "Okay, let''s talk about it next time..." ... In the next two days, the stock market became more and more hot. The trading volume of the four Hong Kong stock exchanges reached a new high every day, especially on Wednesday, 22nd, when the stock market trading volume reached 3.2 billion Hong Kong dollars that day, and the Hang Seng Index was pushed to 1,000. Nine hundred sixty-eight five, which is equivalent to an average daily increase of 30 points, which shows the fiery degree of the market. The negative effects of the announcement by the Association of Banks of raising interest rates seem to be nonexistent! The Swire Group¡¯s share price rushed to 27.93 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the market value quickly broke through the 10 billion Hong Kong dollar mark after the market opened early in the morning. When the market was closed that day, the market value was fixed at 125. More than 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with last Friday, the market value of Swire Group has more than doubled. But almost all investors know that this is definitely not the end! Now the battle between the Taikoo Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium is still the tip of the needle against the Maimang, and other large and small consortia also participated in the hunting of the Taikoo Consortium, and many people deliberately guided it to spread the flames of war beyond the battle between the two consortia. There have been many small newspapers fanning the flames, vowing to declare that the market value of Swire Group''s breakthrough of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is a certainty, which further increases the difficulty and investment cost of Swire Financial. In the past two days, Shi Yahuai''s family was fully mobilized, and Norman Shi Yahuai was stupefied by piecemeal work and collected 1.674 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. After adding the 3,348 million Hong Kong dollars worth of equity to pledge, he got the equity he wanted as he wished It just operated like this, including the equity just acquired, Shi Yahuai''s family assets have not yet been pledged, and the total value of freely operated equity is worth more than one billion yuan. If you want to raise funds, you must sell these equity or rely on credit. Norman Shi Yahuai implemented these two methods at the same time. Fortunately, in terms of stock market rush to raise funds, there is Cedric Quincy who continues to sell stocks to return funds, and he does not need to worry about it. After learning about Jiuding Securities¡¯ aggressive posture again and again, Norman Shi Yahuai eagerly realized that the funds of Jiuding Securities must be consumed immediately in order to reduce the enemy¡¯s attack and make the stock price rise less crazy. It''s time to implement the plan to set up Jiuding Securities Company! Thinking of this, he dialed the number of Shen Bi''s office...

The golden sunrise gradually dyed the eastern sky red, and the peaceful night of the Xiangjiang River was shrouded in noise. On Thursday morning, after Xia Yu had breakfast, he went to Jiuding Securities. With nearly an hour and a half before leaving the city, Wang Qi convened Deli¡¯s subordinates to hold a deployment meeting every day before the action, and it was also a plan adjustment meeting to review the results of yesterday¡¯s action, and at the same time brainstorm and adjust the action plan according to the actual situation. Xia Yu just sat in front of him and listened, without interfering in Wang Qi''s management, allowing him to give orders. After the meeting, when Xia Yu and Wang Qi were left in the meeting room, Wang Qi said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, I found a problem related to our plan, but it hasn''t affected it for the time being. Distracted, I didn¡¯t say it at the meeting just now." Xia Yu asked softly: "What''s the problem?" Wang Qi whispered: "According to the original plan, it was a targeted attack on Swire Financial Corporation to contain the money bag of the Swire Consortium. Only through follow-up investigations over the past few days, our people discovered that Swire Financial Corporation was cashing out large-scale stocks. ." "I am 90% sure that Swire Financial is under-funded and wants to liquidate irrelevant investment stocks and return capital to use it to raise funds related to the Swire Group." Xia Yu nodded lightly, and after a little thought, he narrowed his eyes and said directly: "Then change the plan. Except for the companies of the Swire Group, we will not buy the stocks of the companies in which Swire Financial has invested and hold us. Some stocks are also sold to control the stock price." "I am eager for Swire Financial to take all the funds into the stocks of Swire Group''s companies after cashing out, but I can''t let them cash back at high prices." Wang Qi nodded solemnly: "I understand." In fact, what Chairman Xia Yu said was exactly what he considered. The purpose of their plan was to make Swire Financial Company deeply locked up and then be destroyed by the stock market crash. Although almost all Hong Kong stocks are rising according to the current market trend, they can wait for the stock prices of non-Swire Group companies to rise before selling them to obtain higher returns. However, in order to control the funds of Swire Financial Corporation and weaken their ability to resist risks and bear pressure, it is a big deal to hurt people with this. Anyway, the Swire Financial Group will be more miserable at that time, and the loss will definitely be recovered from the Swire Financial Group. At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly asked: "Wang Qi, you are going to give Yuan Tianfan the responsibility for negotiating with HSBC for the acquisition of equity, right?" Wang Qi nodded and replied: "Yes." Xia Yu continued: "I have received certain news that HSBC has secretly transferred its holdings of the Swire Group''s company equity to the Shi Yahuai family, and they have jointly established a bureau and are ready to cheat us." Wang Qi was startled, and sighed that the chairman''s hands and eyes were open to the sky, he quickly asked: "Chairman, what is their plan?" Xia Yu replied: "The purpose of both parties is very clear, that is, to take us wrong." "You should have received a notice from HSBC this morning. The negotiation is scheduled on Saturday morning the day after tomorrow. HSBC will definitely publicize the matter in these two days to attract more people to participate in the competition. The Shi Yahuai family is HSBC''s Trust." "You can arrange for what I said. Since HSBC is going to unite with the Shi Yahuai family to cheat us, then we don¡¯t have to worry about it. With the help of the stock market crash, we will fight one, and we will fight two. All the shares of the Swire Consortium will let HSBC Throw it in your hands so that they won¡¯t be able to get through the stock market crash smoothly." "In order to obtain the shares of Swire Group, Swire Godown, Swire Shipping and Swire Industrial Group held by SF Bank, the Shi Yahuai family has given out 1,674 million in cash and a value of 30 The equity of 348 million Hong Kong dollars was used to pledge loans." "The Shi Yahuai family''s funds have reached the top, and basically can only rely on Swire Financial Corporation, and HSBC now has more than 1.6 billion cash flow, and it cannot be increased." "Those equity must be let go to HSBC or the Shi Yahuai family." "These things are troublesome to operate, and they pay more attention to details. Do you think Yuan Tianfan can do it with his current ability?" Wang Qi thought about it for a long time, and nodded his head: "Chairman, Yuan Tianfan is old and respectful. I will give him some advice later. It should be possible." "Okay, let him continue to do this thing. As a result, tell me at that time, I want to know his performance." Xia Yu believed Wang Qi''s judgment, so he nodded and agreed, and made a request. Yuan Tianfan is the potential stock he has set. He also wants to see how far Yuan Tianfan''s ability has reached after spending more than a year with Wang Qi, and whether there is any need to add more burdens. "Okay, I''ll make arrangements later." "Ok!" ... Sure enough, about ten minutes after Xia Yu and Wang Qigang had chatted, Wang Qi received a call from Shen Bi. Shen Bi invited them to participate in the private equity auction held by HSBC on Saturday morning. After once again lamenting the chairman''s strong intelligence capabilities, Wang Qi took this matter more carefully and personally participated in the discussion of the special action plan. As for Xia Yu, after the stock market opened and watched the Hang Seng Index continue to rise and the stock prices of Swire Group companies continued to rise rapidly, he left with satisfaction. He is going to Central on Hong Kong Island to see how Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank are doing. A general stock market disaster is both a disaster and an opportunity. It is certainly a disaster for companies that are unprepared and usually chaotic, but it is certainly an opportunity for companies with strength and stable operations. Not to mention, this time the stock market disaster that originally broke out in 81 years and affected it in 1983, Xia Yu is prepared to artificially promote the outbreak. As the initiator, he must be prepared to avoid minefields as much as possible, and at the same time grab the maximum benefit. The bank is of course the most critical. When Xia Yu came to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank in Central on Hong Kong Island, he learned that Liu Tianci was receiving important customers. Xia Yu stopped his subordinates to call Liu Tianci and drank tea in the office leisurely. About half an hour later, Liu Tianci, who got the news, hurried to the office. "Chairman, sorry to keep you waiting." As soon as he walked in, Liu Tianci said apologetically. "It doesn''t get in the way Work matters." "Sit down and talk." Xia Yu smiled and waved his hand, calling Liu Tianci to sit down on the sofa. Then he asked casually: "Who was here just now and needs you to personally receive it?" Liu Tianci smiled and said, "It''s Chen Qingsong, the chairman of Caring Group." Xia Yu raised his brows and paused when he was holding the teacup to drink tea. He frowned slightly, and asked with concern: "What is his purpose?" PS: I''m sorry, there have been a lot of things in these two days. I have been busy for two consecutive days until I slept more than three in the evening. I really can¡¯t squeeze out the time code.

() v3 Chapter 1029: Return 1 piece of the Xiangjiang Capital Market () You can search for "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero ( in Baidu to find the latest chapter! Chapter 1029 Returning to the Xiangjiang Capital Market Liu Tianci gave the general situation: "According to Chen Qingsong''s personal statement, he wants to obtain the support of our bank to purchase a piece of land on the right side of the Miramar Hotel with a loan to develop commercial real estate." "As soon as he opened his mouth, he loaned 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and he used the combination of Carrian Group''s stock and property mortgage..." "I didn''t promise him." Xia Yu showed an inexplicable smile and nodded slightly: "It was right to not promise him." Thinking of the situation of the Carning Group, Xia Yu moved in his heart and asked: "Does our bank have any loan business with the Carning Group before?" Liu Tianci shook his head decisively: "Never, Chen Qingsong has been to our bank many times before, but I always feel that something is wrong with the Caring Group, and the risk is too great, and I cannot lend him a loan." "Chen Qingsong seemed to be aware of my attitude before, so it has been almost a year since he hadn''t been to our bank. This time he came to visit again. In fact, I was surprised." "But when he talked to me just now, he also came up with the 200 million Hong Kong dollar loan contract between Carrian Group and HSBC, and the loan conditions are still very loose. The stock pledge rate has reached 50%. He seems to want to use it. This contract proves the credibility of the Carrian Group, dispels my worries, and persuades me to lend him. Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, and said with a smile: "You don¡¯t have to lend money. Chen Qingsong is a master at playing with capital, but he has gone through a crooked way. Now he comes to us and proves that he can no longer withstand the pressure. I can''t give him enough support..." "If we give him a loan, he will turn around as if he was holding the HSBC loan contract just now. He would lend to other banks. The time bomb of Carrian Group can last a year or two. If we kick him With one kick, the Carrian Group will explode immediately." Liu Tianci was shocked. He heard the profound meaning of Chairman Xia Yu''s words. He secretly said that Caring Group really had a big problem, and he also became curious about Caring Group. He asked curiously: "Chairman, do you know Chen Qingsong and Jianing Group well? What''s the big problem here?" He also learned about the situation of the Carrian Group all the time when Chen Qingsong came to apply for a loan, but it is different now, especially since the growth of the Carrian Group is extremely fast, he does not particularly understand it and it is normal. He doesn''t know much, that is, now Carrian Group is already one of the large-scale listed companies in Xiangjiang, and it seems that there are fifty or sixty companies under it, and Chen Qingsong has become one of the top big figures in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu smiled faintly and said softly: "The question? The question is too big. Chen Qingsong has deceived the whole class from top to bottom in Xiangjiang." Hearing the scam, Liu Tianci''s expression became solemn. He quietly looked at director Xiang Xia Yu, waiting for the following. Xia Yu drank a sip of tea and whispered: "Chen Qingsong is from Xingcheng. He got the first pot of gold with the support of the Zhong family. At the end of 1977, the Caring Group was established, and he started two months earlier than me. At that time, the registered capital was only 5 million Hong Kong dollars..." "But Chen Qingsong has a thorough understanding of people''s greed, and he is also very proficient in capital operation. Through a series of actions, he has shaped the image of Carrian Group with an extremely strong background and unlimited funds in the hearts of all people in Hong Kong. In addition, it happened that the Hong Kong government liberalized the banking industry and issued dozens of bank licenses a year, which promoted the birth of dozens of banks. These banks rushed to send money to the Carrian Group, making the Carrian Group crazy mergers..." "Carrian Group only went public on the backdoor in March last year, but last month you looked at it and acquired the listed company Qichang Insurance, increasing the number of listed companies under its control to three..." "Up to now, the entire Carrian Group has at least 70 companies, and the combined value of listed and unlisted companies has reached nearly 10 billion. Although it is not as good as the rectification of the Swire Consortium, it has surpassed the core pillar of the Swire Consortium Swire Group... " "If you think about it, it took more than three years since the establishment of the company. On average, more than 20 companies were merged a year, creating a diversified enterprise group of such a large scale." "If it hadn''t been for the limelight that I had been holding him down, he would have been mythical now." "The original four major British consortiums were supported by Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, and supported by the Hong Kong government. They were in line with the stock market crash in 1973 before they were completely expanded. And I own banks and securities companies. The market makes money." "What about him? Why can he catch up with the Swire Consortium in just over three years?" Liu Tianci nodded approvingly, because he didn''t know where the Carning Group''s funds came from, so he would not approve Chen Qingsong''s loan a year or two ago. Chairman Xia Yu''s ability, he personally witnessed, Jiuding Securities is also a one-stop-train in the capital market, but he did not see what Chen Qingsong has. It is all based on people''s words and his vague background. "Chairman, then Chen Qingsong''s funds are actually borrowed from banks?" Xia Yu shook his head slightly. When Liu Tianci was puzzled, he continued: "Not all, more than half are borrowed from various banks with high interest rates, and the other is cheated by him from Yumin Finance." Liu Tianci was taken aback for a moment, and then blurted out: "Is it the Yumin Finance under the Malaysian Yumin Bank? Or is it cheated?" "This is an economic crime!" "Could it be that the entire senior management of Yumin Finance was bought by him?" Xia Yu nodded slightly: "If nothing goes wrong, all the senior financial officers of Yumin Finance have been bought by him, and they unite to deceive Yumin Bank." "This¡­¡­" Liu Tianci was at a loss for words. He didn''t know what to say. After a long silence, he could only shake his head with a wry smile. When Chairman Xia Yu said this, many doubts in his mind were all eliminated. Carrian Group has overseas funds behind it, but it is not as outrageous as the rumors, such as large European and American consortiums, and royal families of various countries. And Yumin Finance also has this strength to support the development of Carrian Group into a large company, plus Chen Qingsong himself pits other banks, it is justified that Carrian Group can develop to this degree. For Yumin Bank, Liu Tianci knew it. This bank established by the Malaysian government is actually a bank set up by the Malaysian government specifically for the Malay ethnic group. It is used to counter foreign banks and Chinese-funded banks in the country. It has government financial endorsements and naturally has no shortage of funds. Yumin Finance is an institution specially established by Yumin Bank in Hong Kong to face the customers of Hong Kong and spread the influence of Yumin Bank. The reason why it is Yumin Finance instead of Heung Kong Yumin Bank is because the Hong Kong government did not grant it a bank license. Even though the Hong Kong government issued dozens of bank licenses in one go the year before, it just refused to grant it. As a last resort, Yumin Finance could only Exist in the form of a financial company that can absorb reserves. After calming down a bit, Liu Tianci had many thoughts in his mind. "Chairman, according to what you said, combined with the actual situation of the Carrian Group, then when the stock market crash comes, the risk of the Carrian Group''s capital chain is extremely high. Should this bubble burst?" When asked this sentence, Liu Tianci''s expression was very solemn. Because he knows the possible consequences of the disillusionment of the Carrian Group''s myth, which will further magnify the impact of the stock market crash. Apart from anything else, before the Carrian Group asked HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank and other large banks to borrow money, the borrowers were all small and medium banks. According to the current value of Carrian Group of nearly 10 billion, even if more than half of it is dependent on Yumin Finance, the Carrian Group still owes Hong Kong¡¯s other banks with four to five billion Hong Kong dollars in debt, and many small banks¡¯ assets are estimated to be just Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, if all these accounts rot, it could kill a lot of small banks. Although these banks are small banks and have little influence, they can''t help but have a large number. As the number increases, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and their influence naturally rises. As soon as the chain reaction comes, all banks in Hong Kong will definitely not be spared, and they will all fall into a run, and the impact will be great. If the contact is not good, a scene of sorrow will appear. If it is pushed hard according to the plan made by the chairman, the impact will be no less than the stock market crash of 1973... Seeing the hesitation on Liu Tianci''s face, Xia Yu knew his worries and worries Although many bad things would happen at that time, he decided to do it. The bubble is here, and the risk of a stock market crash is about to break out. The difference is that it is pushed ahead and amplified by others. Can''t say it can''t break or stand. Any earth-shaking innovation will be paid. Now that he has a plan for the future of Xiangjiang, he will simply do a ruthless one. The framework that has been established is completely overturned and rebuilt. As long as the foundation is still there, he has the confidence to build his favorite "house". Therefore, Xia Yu looked indifferent and resolutely said: "Of course we must pierce him, the greater the influence, the better!" "Sweep away all the dirt and return the Xiangjiang Capital Market to a bright future!"

Liu Tianci glanced at Xia Yu, then took a deep breath, a touch of firmness flashed in his eyes. Now that the chairman has made the decision, he will naturally perform unconditionally as a subordinate, even if many people will be affected. After all, capital never has the attribute of "kindness"... After finishing his thoughts, Liu Tianci took the initiative to ask: "Chairman, what should I do here?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "You don''t need to deliberately target the Carrian Group. Its own problems are enough to kill itself. What you have to do here is to liquidate risky assets such as the real estate industry as soon as possible, without taking it back. The loan will be recovered as soon as possible, leaving you no more than a month to act." "You have to think of ways to resell your assets to foreign banks and HSBC as much as possible. Real estate and property loans can also be transferred at low prices or even at a loss. Now the vacancy rate of various properties is already very high. All have to fall to the price of cabbage, and then buy the bottom." "By the way, you should also focus on strong and high-quality banks. Don''t just limit Xiangjiang. Southeast Asian banks should also pay attention. When the stock market crash passes, you need to buy a group of banks." Speaking of this, Xia Yu explained his agreement with Qiu Deba, and solved Liu Tianci''s doubts. "On these matters, you have to work harder during this time." "Chairman, don''t worry, I will act according to your instructions." Liu Tianci nodded heavily and replied. "Well, just remember. I don''t worry about your work. I won''t say more. Go ahead. I''ll go to Standard Chartered Bank and tell Gals Liddell." After speaking, Xia Yu drank the tea in the cup and left Jiuding Bank vigorously. The headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank is also in Central on Hong Kong Island, not far from Jiuding Bank. Xia Yu arrived soon, and then found Gals Liddell and gave him the same orders. After finishing the arrangement, Xia Yu returned to Kowloon. ... No surprises. In the two days of Thursday and Friday, the HeungKong capital market was raging, and the battle was no longer confined to the stock market. With the influx of large amounts of foreign funds, the foreign exchange market has also fluctuated sharply, and the exchange rate spreads that the Association of Banks worried have gradually disappeared. Outside of the stock market, the tycoons of all walks of life are the Eight Immortals who cross the sea and show their magical powers, money as guns, hunting their favorite prey. Of course, even though the big guys entered the stage to spoil the situation, they couldn''t conceal the glory of the two main protagonists of the Swire Consortium and Jiuding Consortium. On Friday, less than ten minutes after the stock market opened, the Hang Seng Index directly broke through two thousand points. This is a historic moment for Hong Kong stocks. This number seems to be a stimulant, making investors even more crazy. As a result, when the market was closed on Friday, the Hang Seng Index was frozen at 2051. According to the statistics of the four major exchanges, the trading volume on this day has created a new history, breaking through 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, reaching 4.38 billion Hong Kong dollars. Among them, the Swire Group''s share price can break through 39 Hong Kong dollars, and the company''s market value has reached more than 17.56 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is about three times the market value at the beginning of the war! The share prices and market value of a series of listed companies such as Swire Warehouse, Swire Shipping and Swire Industrial Group have also risen sharply in the past two days. The market value of the three companies has been fixed at more than 3.85 billion Hong Kong dollars, More than 5.34 billion Hong Kong dollars and more than 6.636 billion Hong Kong dollars. After calculating, they were shocked to find that the combined market value of these four companies had reached 333.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, far exceeding the market value of HSBC. And the entire Swire consortium is far more than these four companies! Although some people feel that the stock prices of these companies are already very high, there is no small risk. But more people believe that the stock price will continue to rise because Jiuding Securities is still aggressively rushing to raise money. Moreover, the battle between the Swire Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium has not only been confined to the capital market, but has further developed into the internal battles of some companies'' boards of directors. Although the battle of the company''s board of directors will affect the company''s operations and normally cause the company''s stock price to fall, this kind of battle is counterproductive and has a strong stimulus effect on the stock price. The vast majority of investors believe that they want the stock price to fall unless one of the Jiuding Consortium and the Swire Consortium completely admit defeat. Otherwise, as long as the battle exists for one day, the stock price will continue to rise! On Saturday morning, the stock market was closed, but Jiuding Securities Co. went to work as usual. After being repeatedly instructed by Wang Qi, Yuan Tianfan led the team to the HSBC Bank in Central on Hong Kong Island for the appointment. He got stuck. When he came back to the HSBC conference room, he immediately felt a different atmosphere. Seeing those Chinese faces in the conference room, he looked unwavering. According to the instructions of President Wang Qi, he already knew about the poor plan of HSBC and the Shi Yahuai family. There is no doubt that these people are competitors. Seeing the heavy faces of these Chinese people, Yuan Tianfan smiled and nodded at them instead. In response to a group of people, he found a place to sit down, and then picked up a small file at the place to look through it. In a few seconds, an inexplicable look appeared on his face. This document lists in detail HSBC''s equity in a subsidiary of the Swire Group, which is today''s auction target. Sure enough, there is no equity in the Swire Group. At this time, after confirming that everyone had arrived, Shen Bi looked at the time again and found that it was already up. He asked people to close the door and said aloud: "The time has come. I know that everyone is not interested in listening to me, so I simply Say a few words." "Everyone has read the documents in hand. There are all the things you need on them. It saves you from coming to me one by one. So I invite you all to come over and prepare to solve the problem at one time. As long as your bid is right, you can take what you want Company equity." "Now we go directly to the subject..." "and many more!" Just as Shen Bi''s voice just fell, Yuan Tianfan''s words attracted everyone''s attention to him. Without changing his face, Shen Bi asked calmly, "Mr. Yuan, do you have any questions?" Yuan Tianfan said without hesitation: "Of course there is, and the problem is still big. It was here a few days ago. I want the equity of Swire Group, Swire Industrial Group and other companies. Why are there no such shares now?" "Without those core products, your company took out these crooked melons, isn''t this fooling me?" Yuan Tianfan¡¯s "reaction" was originally expected by Shen Bi. With a smile on his face, he explained in a hurry: "Mr. Yuan, I am not fooling people. In fact, there is a misunderstanding. I have to tell you. I apologize. Last time you came here, you directly negotiated the price. I didn''t have time to carefully sort out the company''s equity in our bank. Now it has been sorted out, and all the equity held are here." "I haven''t found the equity of companies such as Swire Group and Swire Industrial Group. I don''t have to lie to you!" Yuan Tianfan snorted and asked, "Mr. Shen Bi, do you think that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has been able to develop to this level, and the ability to collect business information is so poor?" He looked at Norman Shi Yahuai who was sitting calmly again, and sneered insinuatingly: "Or have you secretly sold the equity to someone?" "If it is sold, why not sell it clean and leave such scraps to open such an auction now?" "No... who didn''t want it?" Speaking of these last words, Yuan Tianfan scanned Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai back and forth, as if he wanted to discover something. As soon as he said this, the faces of the people sitting there changed, especially those Chinese who wanted to compete. Their expressions were subtle and their eyes moved frequently on Norman Shi Yahuai and Shen Bi. And Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai, whose faces had been calm, were finally unable to remain calm. Shen Bi quickly explained: "Mr. Yuan, the real situation is like this. I don¡¯t need to lie to you. Now what you have listed is the equity of the Swire Group owned by HSBC. As for the Swire Group and The shares of Taikoo Industrial Group have been bought by British companies before. I can¡¯t disclose who they are. After some time they take the initiative to disclose their holdings, you will know who it is." Shen Bi did not admit that Yuan Tianfan did not have strong evidence to expose his lie and he didn¡¯t have to. The reason why he came here just now was because one was for these Chinese people to see, and the other was to be forced to treat him. Now Norman Shi Yahuai actively bids. At this level, it''s all right. He looked suspicious and said noncommittal: "Since Mr. Shen Bi said so, I can only wait." After speaking, he leaned on the back of the stool and made an appearance that he didn''t want to talk. Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn''t completely relax. The two looked at each other vaguely, and everything was silent. Then Shen Bi continued the topic just now. ¡°Let¡¯s return to the main line, and now we will start the first equity auction. The non-listed company Taikoo Milk Co., Ltd. has 16 million shares, totalling 13.5% of the equity, and the starting price is 28 million Hong Kong dollars.¡± In order to facilitate the next reading, you can click "Favorites" below to record the reading record of this time (Chapter 1030 Stock Market Creates History again), and you can see it next time you open the bookshelf!

() v3 Chapter 1031: Spoiler () "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! After Shen Bi finished speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai seemed to express his attitude and bid the first time. "I pay 30 million Hong Kong dollars!" After the price was quoted, Norman Shi Yahuai squinted at Yuan Tianfan, his hostility was very obvious. But to everyone''s surprise, Yuan Tianfan was unmoved, as if he hadn''t seen Norman Shi Yahuai''s gaze, and had no intention of bidding at all. The venue was silent for five or six seconds, and then one of the seven or eight Chinese participated in the offer. "Thirty-one million!" As soon as he finished bidding, Yuan Tianfan, who didn''t seem to have the desire to bid, stepped in and quoted a price increase by one million. "I give out 32 million!" Norman Shi Yahuai immediately followed up the price increase, and put on a posture that he was determined to win: "35 million!" Unexpectedly, Yuan Tianfan was silent again. This scene not only caused Shen Bi''s brows to be frowned, but even other Chinese who had ideas were puzzled, and could not figure out what Yuan Tianfan was thinking. The venue was silent for more than ten seconds. The Chinese who had previously quoted seemed to be very interested in Taikoo Dairy Company and made another offer. "Thirty-six million." After the price was quoted, the Chinese also glanced at Yuan Tianfan. Sure enough, Yuan Tianfan began to quote again. "Thirty seven million!" The Chinese thought that Yuan Tianfan was deliberately targeting himself, and asked without a smile: "Mr. Yuan, your Jiuding Securities Company is interested in Swire Dairy?" Yuan Tianfan smiled slightly and said ambiguously: "It''s okay." The Chinese frowned, gave Yuan Tianfan a deep look, remained silent for a while, and set his sights on Norman Shi Yahuai. One after another, his eyes were as hot as a flame, setting Norman Shiyahuai on the fire. Whether it was for the original plan or for his own company, he had to bite the bullet and bid. After all, only two bids were made, and the highest price was only nine million Hong Kong dollars higher than the starting price. Even though the starting price was already a 100% premium to the original value, it still did not reach the peak at this time. If he rashly gave up, he said After I went out, it was doubtful. Therefore, he bit the bullet and quoted again: "Forty million!" ... Every time afterwards, as long as Norman Shi Yahuai quotes, Yuan Tianfan will ignore it. As long as it is a Chinese quote, Yuan Tianfan will definitely increase the price by one million. On the surface, it seems that Yuan Tianfan and Norman Shi Yahuai are in one group. But the Chinese who participated in the auction knew it was absolutely impossible. After all, both sides are still fighting outside. Moreover, the Jiuding Consortium was raised by the Tuying Consortium, which is the banner of Chinese capital. It is expected that Jiuding Securities will assist the Swire Consortium, unless it is dreaming! Excluding this possibility, the biggest possibility is that Yuan Tianfan prevents them from buying these shares. Why stop it? Thinking of what Yuan Tianfan said when he came in, these Chinese seemed to understand something, and they looked at Norman Shi Yahuai and Shen Bi with different eyes. Moreover, their original intention to buy equity is also weakened. If they don¡¯t get things clear, they dare not venture to buy equity to avoid falling into the quagmire. With Yuan Tianfan as a spoiler, this special auction house ended in an anticlimactic manner, and the game set up by Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai was completely destroyed. As for all the shares that were put up for auction, except for some of them, the rest were taken by Norman Shi Yahuai. After waiting distressingly for the auction to end, Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai watched as a group of Chinese crowded Yuan Tianfan away after they went out, and their expressions finally fell. Shen Bi affirmed: "Norman, it seems that our plan has been exposed." "Where is the problem?" Norman Shiya furrowed his brows, recalling the events of these days, and said with certainty: "I definitely didn''t leak it. I know the importance of this plan, so I didn''t say anything about it. He did not suspect that Shen Bi said it, but asked from another angle: "Michael, neither of us had the motive to disclose the plan, but when you sold the equity to me a few days ago, someone was there and your bank There is also an asset management department. Could it be that these people leaked the news and then caused Jiuding Securities to suspect?" Shen Bi was silent, he couldn''t guarantee this. If something went wrong here, it would be possible to speculate about their plan based on Wang Qi''s IQ of Jiuding Securities. The brain made up this, and it had already happened, Shen Bi had no choice but to accept it. "Norman, I will investigate this matter and clear out the traitors that may exist within the company." "But now the key is the disposal of these shares." "Those people just saw that you have already sold these shares. If these shares are sold from me or from you, what do you think they will think?" "The war between the Taikoo Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium is still going on. If such negative news breaks out, what impact will it have?" After a few questions, Norman Shi Yahuai was speechless, and he could feel Shen Bi''s irritability. The equity of these companies is equivalent to being frozen and can no longer be sold. Selling it will make people discover the bottom of the Taikoo Consortium and know that there is a problem with the funds of the Taikoo Consortium. This will only make the evil wolves that were still waiting and watching frantically pounce on them, and the pack of wolves that are already besieging the Taikoo Consortium will be even more vicious. The final consequences will be passed on to the Swire Financial Group and their Shi Yahuai family. If the Swire Consortium falls, HSBC, which has been tied to the Swire Consortium, will also suffer huge losses. For a moment, Norman Shiyahuai regretted it, and knew that he shouldn''t suggest to publicize the matter and attract other Chinese to participate. If he is the only one competing with Yuan Tianfan today, then even if Yuan Tianfan is aware of the plan, he will not be afraid. Anyway, the hostile relationship between the two sides, no matter how Yuan Tianfan preaches, he can kill Yuan Tianfan and spread the rumors, causing little impact. What is like now, besides Yuan Tianfan, there are seven or eight Chinese witnesses with their own eyes. For a long time, Norman Shiya said with a cheeky face: "Michael, since things have happened, don''t sell these shares for the time being. Your bank will continue to hold them. After I have enough funds, then sell them to me, how about? " Shen Bi was speechless. He took a deep look at Norman Shi Yahuai and said dissatisfiedly: "Norman, if it wasn''t for you last time, my equity will be sold at a premium of 200% and can be sold to more than 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. You can make a profit of 8.9 billion Hong Kong dollars at a price of, and now you just say no?" "A few days ago, I sold you the equity of the four companies in the Swire Group. I also incurred some losses. I don''t count it much, even 200 million." "To help you, I made a billion in profits!" It''s no wonder that Shen Bi is dissatisfied. Now is a special period, so the equity of a series of Swire Group companies can be sold at a high price. In fact, if you miss it, you can''t sell it at this price. Norman Shiyahuai knew that he was at a loss, but he would definitely not be able to take out the money if he wanted him, nor would he take it out. So he can only play a rogue. He smiled cheekily: "Michael, you can¡¯t say that. You have to think about how much money HSBC has invested in these companies before. Even if these shares are sold at par, you can make a lot of money. Not to mention that I paid for the more valuable ones." "And my plan was originally good. Neither of us would like to see the plan leaked, but who made someone in your bank leak the news..." Shen Bi said immediately: "I didn''t say that our bank leaked the news. I will talk about it after we find out." Norman Shiyahuai put his palm on his chest and said solemnly: "But I dare to swear to God, I definitely didn''t leak it." Shen Bi suddenly became speechless and felt that there was no need to fight Norman Shiya. He shook his head and sighed, and said, "Well, I won''t sell these shares." "But you can''t keep it in the bank." "You set up a separate investment company, take a form, transfer the equity of these companies to that company, and then transfer the ownership of that company to me. I will arrange for a company under the bank to temporarily hold it secretly." The reason why Shen Bi is so troublesome is entirely to prevent possible "internal traitors" within the company. Do you have to make a full set... Norman Shiyahuai also understood this. He nodded happily and said, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to do this after I go backShen Bi nodded slightly, and he was in a good mood to promise promise. Man Shiyahuai said: "Norman, HSBC and I have paid enough to help you. It will be difficult for you to play any role in the future. You can only rely on yourself. " Norman Shi Yahuai took a deep breath, nodded, stretched out his hand to clasp Shen Bi tightly, and said to Shen Bi on the surface, but actually to himself. "Michael, it is absolutely impossible for the Jiuding Consortium to defeat me!" "I believe it too!" Shen Bi smiled and blessed. Afterwards, Shen Bi personally sent Norman Shi Yahuai out of the door, and gave him a hug before leaving. "Come on, my old friend!" Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai''s car drifting away, Shen Bi blessed silently.

Xia Yu sat on the sofa in the middle, and Wang Qi sat on the left. The two quietly listened to Yuan Tianfan''s story of the "disruption". About ten minutes later... "Papa..." "You did a good job." Xia Yu smiled and applauded and said, looking at Yuan Tianfan with admiration. Yuan Tianfan said humbly: "Chairman, you lead me well, and then President Wang also taught me in detail how to do it, so that I can successfully complete the task." Xia Yu laughed and said, "Don''t be so imaginary, I can see if you have any abilities." Yuan Tianfan smiled and did not reply again. It is best to remain silent at this time, neither overly humble nor proud. Xia Yu became more satisfied with Yuan Tianfan. He looked at Wang Qi, which happened to meet Wang Qi''s gaze. The latter nodded knowingly, and he made a decision, which was already under consideration. "Tianfan, keep working hard in the future, don''t let me down." Xia Yu looked at Yuan Tianfan and said encouragingly. Yuan Tianfan was taken aback, then came back to his senses and respectfully promised: "Chairman, I will continue to work hard and will not disappoint you." "Ok!" "If there is nothing wrong, go ahead and do it." "Okay, chairman, president, I''m leaving now." After speaking, Yuan Tianfan gently withdrew from the office, and concealed the office door easily. "Wang Qi, Yuan Tianfan can train more in management. He has the potential in this area." Xia Yu smiled and mentioned Wang Qi. Wang Qi responded with a smile: "Chairman, I will follow your instructions. Tianfan is indeed very good." Xia Yu nodded slightly, stopped talking about this, and asked Wang Qi: "How much money has been withdrawn this week?" This data Wang Qi asked a special person to report to him every day that he was already familiar with it and blurted out: "Chairman, because the stock market will rise later, the liquidation effort this week is not particularly strong, that is, with Swire Financial Those companies that are in the opposite position have sold more equity, and as of yesterday, more than 1.53 billion Hong Kong dollars have been returned." Xia Yu probably had the final say, and said softly: "The total volume of transactions this Thursday is estimated to be around 16 billion Hong Kong dollars, which means that the transaction volume of the repayment accounted for nearly one-tenth." Wang Qili said: "Yes, apart from these, we have not bought many stocks from the Swire Consortium listed companies from the stock market, that is, there are many sell orders, and the actual trading volume is only about 500 million Hong Kong dollars. ." Simple one plus, the trading volume related to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has reached about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for about one-eighth of the trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market. This data is also in line with Jiuding Securities'' leading position in the stock market, and it does not appear to be too much or less. Of course, on the other hand, Jiuding Securities has not fully displayed its ability, and it is still restrained. Xia Yu thought for a while and instructed Wang Qi: "In the next half month, it doesn''t matter if you move more aggressively. Sell most of the stocks as much as possible. If they are discovered, they will claim that they will withdraw funds to acquire the Swire Consortium. The equity of a series of companies, this reason can eliminate all negative effects, and even stimulate the stock market to continue to rise, making it easier to sell shares." "After half a month, I began to secretly sell the shares of a company of the Swire Consortium." "What I said is slightly changed from the previous plan. You can adjust it according to the actual situation." Wang Qi solemnly nodded his head: "Good chairman, I will do as you ordered today and tomorrow, and I will present the adjusted plan to you for review on Monday." "Ok." Xia Yu nodded slightly, then looked at his watch and found that it was already over 11:40. He got up and prepared to go home. Before leaving, he smiled and said to Wang Qi: "You also get off work. I heard people say that you forget to sleep and eat when you work. It''s not good or bad. There is always a time for everything. Spend well with your family at noon. During this time, work tasks are very heavy, but family members are equally important. After this time, I will take you a few more days off." Wang Qi warmed his heart, smiled, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Chairman for your concern." "I am leaving." Xia Yu smiled, waved his hand, and then left the office. ... Although the stock market was closed on the weekend two days, the capital market was still very active. After a short two-day break for the major capitals, as the new week begins, the flames of war have ignited again. When almost everyone focused on the stock market, the field of film and television changed again. Nowadays, the film market in the field of Xiangjiang film and television is needless to say. Later, the Galaxy Film Company entered into the film industry, relying on a series of well-made films and powerful distribution channels, successfully surpassing Shaw Brothers films and Golden Harvest, and becoming the leader of the film industry. Shao Yifu and Wrinkle Huai, who had never been in contact with each other, chose to reconcile and join forces against Yinhe Film Company. In the TV field, with the support of advanced mechanisms and endless classic programs, Global Satellite TV is almost overwhelmed by the pressure of TVB. Even though Shao Yifu acquired some shares last year and became the largest shareholder and chairman of TVB, he was in charge of TVB, but his business was still very difficult. Up to now, TVB has not been on the stars. How can it compare with Global Satellite, which is also in the Southeast Asian market? The gap between the two is getting wider and wider. But who is Shao Yifu, who has been up and down in the business sea for decades, is not the kind of person who would easily admit defeat. Now the satellites ordered by TVB are already in production, and he is accumulating power in an attempt to compete with Global Satellite TV after TVB''s rise. Compete. At noon on Monday, Shao Yifu returned home and just sat down on the sofa after lunch. His son Shao Weiming sat beside him and poured him a cup of tea. "Dad, drink tea!" "Well, let it go first." Shao Yifu nodded slightly, and then asked his son about the operation of the theater. "How is the revenue of theaters now?" After Shao Yifu concentrated on running TVB, Shao Weiming became the general manager of the Shaw Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas. Hearing this question from his father, he smiled bitterly and sighed and said, "Dad, the situation is not good. The attendance rate of the theater is not high. Even if some of the theaters have been renovated and opened, the box office tiering system has been implemented. However, due to the long backward period, the bad influence has not been eliminated, and it has entered a vicious circle." "The Galaxy Film Company is not only highly productive, but the film quality is also very good, plus every time a movie is released, it does a good job in promotion and marketing, and every movie is a big seller." "After the new year passed last year, Universal Cinemas introduced more Hollywood blockbusters." "In addition, the films of other small and medium-sized film companies will be supplied to the Universal Cinemas, so there is no shortage of excellent films in the Universal Cinemas." "Over time, audiences are accustomed to watching movies in the theaters of the Universal Cinemas, resulting in a serious drop in the passenger flow of our Shaw Theaters." "If things go on like this, if this situation cannot be resolved, then our Shaw Cinemas will gradually lose money and become a burden." Shao Yifu''s face was gloomy, and after a long silence, he asked: "Then you haven''t thought about how to get out of this predicament?" Shao Weiming said immediately: "Dad, we have thought about it and tried it. It is to restore the audience with a sufficiently good movie. As long as we succeed several times in a row and restore the image of our Shaw Brothers movie in the minds of the audience, then the audience will Come back slowly." "but¡­¡­" Having said that, Shao Weiming wanted to say something but stopped, and finally lowered his head, shaking his head and sighing. He tried it, and he used carefully crafted movies to deliberately avoid the films produced by the Galaxy Film Company and compete with other small and medium-sized film companies. He thought he would be able to win a hearty victory. Who knew that relying on the powerful announcements of the global theaters, the films produced by small and medium-sized film companies could also trigger an upsurge. Although their boutique films produced by Shaw Films are leading the way, they are tightly bitten by people, and the gap cannot be opened. What he lacks is the kind of movie that will fix everything! Although the son did not go further, Shao Yifu understood what his son meant. He drank a sip of tea, calmed down some confusion, and asked in a deep voice: "If you don''t have a good movie, then go all out to make it. I won''t get the money. The key is that you have a good script?" When the Shaw Film Company was shooting movies, there was basically no script. It relied on the director to perform, and the filming was particularly fast. However, since the birth of Galaxy Film Company, Shao Yifu has seen the importance of a complete filming team and detailed scripts, and Shaw Films has also made improvements. Now every film and TV series must first come up with the script. Only after the script is reviewed can filming be started. The concept that the script is the soul of a film has been unforgettable. Shao Weiming whispered: "Dad, in our company, there are excellent scripts. The box office should not be bad after shooting, but I have no confidence to achieve the effect we want." Shao Yifu frowned and became angry: "Then how are you going to solve it?" Shao Weiming took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Dad, since this road is not easy for the time being, I wonder if I can find another way." "Say!" Shao Yifu''s words are concise and concise staring into his son''s eyes. Shao Weiming continued: "Last year, Galaxy Film Company entered Hollywood in the United States, so this year it has made a lot of money by relying on Hollywood films and also grabbed a lot of audiences." "And most importantly, the Galaxy Film Company and MGM Pictures jointly launched the filming of "Alien E¡¤T", which has been publicized early and will definitely be released next year. Now many people are already looking forward to it. When it really explodes, it will deal a very serious blow to us." "I wondered, the best defense is offense. Just like TVB is preparing to star, our Shaw Brothers film will also have to face the Galaxy Film Company. If we can defeat the Galaxy Film Company at that time, the global theaters will also be affected. , We can save the situation in one fell swoop." Shao Yifu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was like a knife, as if he could see through the human heart, he asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

() v3 Chapter 1033: Xia Yus movie empire (four K big () "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "Dad, the Galaxy Film Company invested in a Hollywood blockbuster and also sent local Chinese actors in. It was a gimmick. When the movie called "Alien E¡¤T" is released next year, if we can''t get the same Heavyweight movies are likely to be ugly to lose." "So my idea is that we also cooperate with Hollywood giants to make a blockbuster to compete with Galaxy Films." "As long as we defeat the Galaxy Film Company at that time, then the banner of our Shaw Brothers movie can not only be re-established, but also higher!" Speaking of this, Shao Weiming could not help clenching his fists, feeling a little excited. He has had enough of the oppression of Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinemas. No matter how he resists, he will lose. The difference is that the loss is ugly and not ugly. This is a huge blow to a middle-aged man like him. The Shao family established its foundation with film. Although now his career is no longer limited to the film industry, and even the film industry is not the only pillar of the entire Shaw family, he still wants to keep this banner. He can fight a few more! Shao Yifu frowned, and he felt his son''s emotions. "Tuk tu tu..." Quickly tapping his fingers on the table, after thinking for a moment, Shao Yifu asked a key question: "Is it impossible to invest in Hollywood blockbusters. The key is that you can find suitable investment objects and channels?" At any rate, he was also a person who has rushed to Hollywood several times, and he has also witnessed Wrinkle¡¯s rush to Hollywood, but except for Bruce Lee¡¯s time, there is no exception. Shao Yifu knows very well that entering Hollywood is not so easy to enter, and it is useful if you have money. Good projects have long been wiped out by the Hollywood giants. Where else can it be his turn? Unexpectedly, Shao Weiming said confidently: "Dad, I really have a goal, and the prospects are good." Shao Yifu''s heart moved and he became interested: "What project?" Shao Weiming said: "It is a film invested and distributed by Warner Bros., and at the beginning of the project, the goal was set to compete with MGM Pictures¡¯ "Alien E¡¤T" next year. The filming is officially scheduled to start on September 1. The film is called "". This is a science fiction film based on a well-known American novel "A Robot Dreams of an Electronic Sheep"..." "We didn''t have the opportunity, but the original main investor, filmways, withdrew due to problems with their own company management, which caused the plan to be disrupted. The producer of this film, Michael Dily, is my friend. The situation of our family also knows the competitive relationship between our family and Galaxy Film Company, so he contacted me and asked me if I was interested in investing, and besides our family, he told me that he also contacted two other people..." Listening to his son''s detailed statement, Shao Yifu''s expression became more and more solemn, and he suddenly realized that this might really be an excellent opportunity. In his perception, the strength of Warner Bros. is much stronger than MGM. Since this "" is used to fight "Alien E¡¤T", it will certainly not be bad, otherwise the money of Warner Bros. will be lost and the company''s reputation will be compromised. On the other hand, this movie is backed by Warner Bros., and with their powerful distribution capabilities, the box office of the movie "" should be almost gone. If you take this opportunity to make Shaw Films and Warner Bros. fully online, then Shaw Cinemas can fully cooperate with Warner Bros., and the competition with Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas will have greater confidence and strength... ¡­ Thinking of the benefits of this series, Shao Yifu became more and more excited. However, he also heard what his son said just now that the investment gap is huge, at least up to 100 million Hong Kong dollars in investment. In the current situation of the Shao family, this amount of money is not a small sum. He does not invest in it as soon as he gets his head. At least he has to see it with his own eyes and make a judgment. "Weiming, please contact your friend and see if you can meet me. If he can convince me, I will invest in this project." Shao Weiming lifted his spirits and nodded immediately: "Dad, Michael Dili arrived at Xiangjiang yesterday. I have not left yet. I can contact him now." "Okay, you can arrange it, I will meet him." Shao Yifu clapped. A week later, in the afternoon of August 1... Xia Yu was inspecting Jiuding Newspaper Company, but got unexpected news. Thinking that he hadn''t paid attention to the film and television industry for a long time, Xia Yu ordered someone to inform Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan to come to his office. "Siyuan, Xeon, sit down." "Thank you, Chairman!" After the two sat down, Xia Yu first asked Jiang Zhiqiang about the situation of the Global Cinemas. "Xeon, come first, how many theaters are there in the theaters now?" Jiang Zhiqiang struck his thoughts and reported to Xia Yuhui: ¡°Chairman, in general, the number of theaters in Hong Kong and Macau has not changed, and the number of theaters in Southeast Asia has increased slightly. The UK, island countries, U.S. and Canadian markets." "Not counting franchise theaters, just the direct-operated theaters that we own property. Now there are 26 theaters in Hong Kong and Macau, 188 in Southeast Asia, 72 in island countries, 365 in the United States, and the United Kingdom. Thirty-one and eighteen in Canada." "Total these cinemas, now our company owns 700 cinemas, totaling 1,175 yuan for screens." "Now in Hong Kong, Austria, and Southeast Asia, our global cinema line is the largest cinema line. In the island market, our global cinema line can be ranked 14th. In the US market, the number of theaters and screens we have has jumped to the top. the fifth place." "..." "good achievement." After listening to Jiang Zhiqiang''s detailed report, Xia Yu immediately commented, with a satisfied smile on his face. The scale of the global theater line is the cornerstone of his movie empire, and it is also the confidence that his movie empire can break with other film giants. Moreover, the global cinema is not his real strength. After all, one of the major domestic cinema giants in France is his. It is only involved in the French presidential election. In order to avoid suspicion, it has been secretly controlled by the British Bright Fund and has not been transferred to the Global Academy. Line flag. "Continue to work hard, the company''s scale has become larger, the difficulty of operation has also increased, and the output of a single screen should be increased as much as possible." Seeing Jiang Zhiqiang''s expression of joy, Xia Yu poured cold water on him again. Jiang Zhiqiang suppressed his smile and nodded solemnly, "Chairman, I will continue to work hard." "Ok!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then looked at Wu Siyuan. "Siyuan, what''s the situation with Galaxy Films?" Wu Siyuanhui reported: "Chairman, last year''s annual report has been reported to you at the beginning of the year. I won''t repeat it, mainly to report to you the situation this year." "As of yesterday, we have produced and released a total of eleven movies, which ranks second in Hong Kong in production, Jiahe Films ranks third with seven, and Shaw Films still ranks first in production, with a total of seventeen films released. Movies." "Only in terms of total box office, we are the highest. The total box office in Hong Kong is 70.6 million Hong Kong dollars. The average local box office of a single movie is 6.41 million Hong Kong dollars, far exceeding the second place Jiahe and No. Three Shaw Brothers." "Of the movies that have been released this year, the top five at the box office are produced by our company, and seven of the top ten movies are our company." "..." As Wu Siyuan continued to tell, the detailed image of Galaxy Films as the leading film company in Hong Kong and Asia appeared in Xia Yu''s mind. And because Wu Siyuan will be interspersed with the comparison between Jiahe and Shaw Brothers'' films when he talks, Xia Yu also understands the current pattern of the film market. There is no doubt that Shao Yifu has not completely given up on the film market. It can be seen from the Shaw Film Company that on average more than two films are released a month. From this amazing output, it can be seen that the Shaw Films company has accumulated for decades. Without enough people behind the scenes, it is impossible to support such a large output of Shaw Films. It¡¯s just that the output belongs to the output, and the quality belongs to the quality. Despite the high output of Shaw Brothers movies, the average single box office is far inferior to the Galaxy Film Company, which focuses on "produced by Galaxy, must be a boutique", and inferior to the Jiahe Films that Haogang uses on the blade. the company. "Yifu Shao went to the doctor in a sudden illness. Too many bad movies will only destroy the Shaw Film Company''s sign faster." After Wu Siyuan finished speaking, Xia Yu said with a smile. Wu Siyuan took the conversation and said: "Yes, I also let people deliberately guide. Now that the Shaw Film Company has shaped the image of a bad film, the Shao family must know this." "It''s just that our film company has been producing hot movies. Even if the Shaw Brothers Film Company produces high-quality movies, it will not pose a big threat to us. The Shao family can only use this trick. Without this trick, Shaw Film Company Not landing faster." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, agreeing with Wu Siyuan''s statement. If you don¡¯t do this, you will die faster. If you do it like this, you can occasionally come back and slow down the decline of the Shaw Film Company and buy some time. It is a pity that Galaxy Films has made almost no mistakes, and Shaw Films has not succeeded. Wu Siyuan suddenly said with a serious expression: "However, Chairman, just now, Shaw Pictures held a press conference with great fanfare and announced that it had reached a cooperation with Warner Bros. Pictures of the United States and would invest 150 million Hong Kong dollars in a co-production. For Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, Shaw Films has changed its strategy." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "It''s rare for Shao Yifu to have such a big hand. He is planning to target our "Alien E¡¤T" next year." Wu Siyuan said solemnly, "The chairman, should we talk to the American side about how to check the quality?" It can be seen that Wu Siyuan is not calm in the face of Shao Yifu''s huge investment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu wanted to comfort him and didn''t care, after all, Xia Yu knew that "Alien E¡¤T" would sweep the world. But he changed his mind to worry Wu Siyuan, and it could stimulate his motivation. So he nodded slightly and agreed: "You can contact Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing more, but don''t interfere with Steven Spielberg''s shooting, and focus more on Asia." "You still need to be **** your own, and focus more on your own business. For example, as you just said, among the movies that have been released now, our company¡¯s films occupy the top five in the box office. This is a good result, but why? Ten occupy seven?" "There are still five months left at the end of this year. After these five months have passed, can you sweep the entire list?" Wu Siyuan took a deep breath and nodded his head: "Chairman, I understand what you mean, and I will continue to work hard to give you good news at the end of the year." Xia Yu smiled and nodded. ... After chatting for a while, Wu Siyuan and Jiang Zhiqiang left one after another. Xia Yu drank tea and thought of the "" filmed by Shaw Brothers and Warner Bros. The previous life in Hong Kong should have been translated as "Blade Runner". This movie was later regarded by many science fiction fans as the greatest science fiction film, but In history, it has been on the street, and the global box office has just exceeded the investment cost. The 150 million Hong Kong dollars invested by Shao Yifu only recovered less than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss exceeded 100 million. In this life, because of his Galaxy Film Company, Shaw Film Company''s situation is very difficult. And because the television field was suppressed by his Global Satellite TV, Shao Yifu did not make any money in the television field. Today, the strength of the Shao family has not grown much, but has shrunk. Shao Yifu can still put out 150 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie. It will not be easy, it can be said that it is desperate. "It doesn''t matter if you work hard, you will be able to recognize reality even more after a big somersault..." After thinking about it, Xia Yu chuckled, then stopped paying attention to the matter, and put his mind back on this plan. When the market was about to close on this day, a news released by the Shi Yahuai family spread across the four major exchanges. The Shi Yahuai Family Foundation disclosed that it holds 16.4% of the equity of Swire Industrial Group. In addition, the HeungKong Swire Group''s 33.7% stake in Swire Industrial Group. The Shi Yahuai family''s equity control over Swire Industrial Group has reached 50.1%! Over 50% of the relative holding line! Shi Yahuai¡¯s announcement of the news is obvious. This is a declaration of sovereignty over the Swire Industrial Group, and it is also telling everyone that the Swire Industrial Group cannot be taken away! As soon as the news was announced, the stock market shook, and the upward momentum of Swire Group''s stock price suddenly stopped and the stock price fluctuated sharply. Fortunately, when the time came to the closing point, the four major exchanges were officially closed, which fixed the stock price of Swire Industrial Group at 29.64 Hong Kong dollars per share and the market value at more than 8.45 billion Hong Kong dollars. Jiuding Securities Company. Looking at Song Bo, who was somewhat discouraged and unwilling, Xia Yu smiled and comforted: "Mr. Song, don''t worry, the outcome of this war is too early!" Song Bo thought Xia Yu was comforting himself He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xia, you don''t have to comfort me." "You have helped me increase Swire Industrial Group''s shareholding to 44.32%. This has exceeded my expectations, but I was far from the Shi Yahuai family at the beginning. This is a non-war. crime." Xia Yu''s smile remained the same, his voice was soft but loud and loud: "Mr. Song, the next one is still the same. You can pay for it, and I will fix the equity for you. You can continue to watch it later." "Not only Swire Industrial Group, Swire Commerce Group also does the same!" "I''m afraid you will regret not having enough money!" Song Bo was taken aback, and suddenly looked at Xia Yu, in a daze, he seemed to see a white light shrouded in Xia Yu''s body.

() v3 Chapter 1034: More than 20 billion funds returned () "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! The two days of the weekend were fleeting. In a blink of an eye it is another new week. With the opening of the stock market at ten o''clock in the morning, the monstrous war that has been suspended has rekindled. After the stock prices of companies such as Swire Shipping and Swire Godown rose sharply after the opening, they immediately entered a fierce battle. The Swire Industrial Group is different. The stock market did not jump at the opening, but fluctuated violently. The number of stocks on sale was much more than before, and the purchase order was slightly less than the sale order. Obviously, before the market closed last Friday, the news announced by the Shi Yahuai family worked. It''s just that the stock market was closed shortly after the last news was announced, and most investors did not respond. However, the two days on the weekend are completely enough for investors to think clearly and make judgments. Therefore, when the market opened this Monday, investors who determined that the stock price of Swire Group had reached its peak rushed to clear their positions. There are more selling orders and fewer buying orders, and the stock price naturally fluctuates sharply. This scene is exactly what Shi Yahuai''s family likes to see. It was just when Norman Shiyahuai instructed Swire Financial to take the opportunity to buy, only to find that the large number of selling orders placed by investors disappeared at an extremely fast speed, and they were swept away in a short while. And the buyer made no secret of it, it was Jiuding Securities Company! After scanning the sell orders, Jiuding Securities also listed 30,000 lots at a price of 30 Hong Kong dollars per share, a total of 3 million shares of purchase orders, with a total value of 90 million Hong Kong dollars! After such a huge purchase order was thrown out, all investors were shocked and their confidence skyrocketed. Investors who have already sold their stocks regret it, but investors who are about to place a sell order all have lingering fears. Fortunately, they have been slower. Under the influence of 90 million Hong Kong dollars worth of purchase orders from Jiuding Securities, the stock price of Swire Industrial Group no longer fluctuates sharply, and the stock price continues to rise with the new purchase orders placed by other institutions. The calculations of Shi Yahuai''s family were not only easily broken by Jiuding Securities Company, but the peaches they planted were easily removed by Jiuding Securities Company, making Norman Shi Yahuai, who had witnessed this scene personally witnessed this scene, become angry. Immediately afterwards, Song Bo stepped up again and went to the exchange as the legal representative of the Song Group to disclose its shareholding information in the Swire Industrial Group. The Song Group held up to 44.3% of the Swire Industrial Group. The second shareholding ratio shocked many people. And Song Bo also confidently declared that the Song Group is already the largest shareholder of Swire Industrial Group and has a veto right against Swire Industrial Group. Even if the HeungKong Swire Group and Shi Yahuai Family Fund jointly hold more than 50% of the shares, it does not mean that the outcome has been divided. He is confident enough that the outcome is far from being divided! After Song Bo issued a statement, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. also shouted in the air, arrogantly saying that "Swire Industrial Group must change ownership". Suddenly slapped twice, how can Norman Shiyahuai endure that even though he knew that if he accepted the offer, it would stimulate the stock price of Swire Group, the consequences of not accepting the offer would be even greater. Therefore, Norman Shiyahuai responded through Swire Financial Group: "Evil will never defeat justice, and the traitor will never succeed!" Many investors eat melons with relish, but they don''t forget to hold their own stocks firmly, and at the same time invest more money into the stock market, for fear that they will make less money if they enter the market late. In the next half month, the stock market was like an erupting volcano, capital from all directions poured into the stock market, and major media rushed to report wealth stories, which helped the Hang Seng Index to climb. Under this boom, Jiuding Securities, Jiuding Bank, Standard Chartered and other companies of the Jiuding Consortium have cashed out and left the market. According to the last statistics, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has liquidated most of its investments overtly and secretly, and recovered more than tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars from the stock market. The two major banks have also withdrawn huge amounts of funds from the stock market or non-stock market, totaling more than 15 billion Hong Kong dollars. Many companies under Xia Yu have also received secret instructions from Xia Yu and are silently recovering funds. After August 15th, the second phase of the plan was launched. Jiuding Securities Company began to ship. Wang Qi set up a number of working groups to sell the shares of a series of companies of the Swire Consortium by means of cross cover. This requires extremely high skills and execution, as well as close cooperation between teams. You need to place buy orders in large quantities to continue to maintain the trend of popularity and stock price increases. At the same time, you must control the number and price of sell orders according to the actual situation to ensure that the stocks will not be bought by yourself, and you cannot let the sell orders stay in the market. Two seconds. As for whether the stocks will be bought by Swire Financial in large quantities, Xia Yu is not worried. He had been guarding against this a long time ago, so in addition to instructing Song Bo to disclose the shares of Swire Industrial Group, a must-buy company, other companies such as Swire Group. The shares of listed companies such as Swire Shipping are scattered among various accounts and are not disclosed to the public. The Shi Yahuai family does not know who holds these shares, only that the acquisition is extremely difficult. Moreover, Xia Yu did not believe that with many investment institutions rushing to raise funds, Swire Financial could grab more than half of the shares released by Jiuding Securities. Even if Swire Financial is able to grab one-third of it, the acquisition capability is extremely strong, and Norman Shiyahuai cannot guess the truth even if he has doubts, and he will be more fortunate to keep the company. Sure enough, with the start of the new week, Swire Financial felt that the difficulty of the acquisition had dropped a bit, and Cedric Quincy immediately reported the situation to Norman Shiyahuai. "Chairman, this is our achievement this morning." Cedric Quincy handed Norman Shiyahuai with a concise statistical table. The latter took it immediately and looked at it carefully. The Swire Group has 30.6 million shares, or 0.68%, at a cost of 156.4 million Hong Kong dollars. The 1.3 million shares of Taikoo Warehouse Co., totaling 0.72%, cost 51.84 million Hong Kong dollars. Swire Shipping has 1.66 million shares, 0.83% in total, and cost 73.87 million Hong Kong dollars. Swire Industrial Group has 256,000 shares, a total of 0.09%, at a cost of 9.45 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the difficulty in acquiring the equity of Swire Industrial Group, the other three companies achieved great results in the morning. After putting down the statistical tables, Norman Shiyahuai asked about the relevant situation: "Cedric, have you investigated which institution released these stocks?" Cedric Quincy nodded and said: "I have been investigated, but only a small part of it is released by some institutions, and most of it is thrown by unknown retail investors." "But the throwing is so concentrated, I think it should be the anonymous accounts of some institutions, which institution is specific, I can''t find out." Norman Shiya frowned and thought, and asked for a long time: "Is it possible that it is Jiuding Securities?" Cedric Quincy pondered for a moment and replied, "It must be possible, but we can''t be sure." After answering, Cedric Quincy immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Chairman, do we still continue the acquisition this afternoon?" Norman Shi Yahuai said without hesitation: "Of course it must be acquired!" "You continue to order people to pay attention to the seller''s situation, and at the same time increase the rush to raise funds, whether the other party is Jiuding Securities or not, our goal will not change." "Once the mission line is reached, report to me immediately." Cedric Quincy immediately felt relieved, with the chairman''s words, he could operate without scruples. "Understood!" Cedric Quincy replied loudly. "By the way, plus this morning''s results, what are the gaps from the planned line?" Norman Shi Yahuai asked again. All the shares acquired from HSBC last time belong to the Shi Yahuai Family Foundation. Except for the original shares of the HeungKong Swire Group and Shi Yahuai Family Fund, in order to reduce the burden, Norman Shi Yahuai is held by Swire Financial. As long as he firmly controls Swire Financial, it does not matter if the equity is owned by this company. It''s not that he doesn''t want to buy all the shares under Shi Yahuai''s family fund, but that he has no money, and it is difficult to borrow money anymore. Without the funds of Swire Financial, he basically can''t operate it. Therefore, he has set up a lot of planning lines for Swire Financial Corporation. As long as the planning lines meet the standards, the total shareholding ratio of Swire Financial Corporation, HeungKong Swire Group and Shiyahuai Foundation can exceed 66.7%. "Chairman, wait a minute!" Cedric Quincy finished speaking, walked to his desk, took out a notebook from the drawer, and then checked and subtracted the equity acquired this morning to get the amount of equity gaps in each company. After the result came out, he immediately gave it to Norman Shi Yahuai. "Chairman, this is the amount of equity that still needs to be acquired." Norman Shiyahuai took a look. The Swire Group has a shortfall of 6.5%. Swire Warehouse has a shortfall of 7.3%. Swire Shipping has a 12% gap. The shortfall of Swire Industries Group is 15.5%. Taking into account the Song family''s shareholding situation, Swire Industrial Group has been unable to meet the standard, and Norman Shi Yahuai directly ignored it. Of the remaining three companies, Swire Shipping has the largest gap. Even if the Swire Group with the smallest gap, according to the current stock price, if the stock price does not rise in the future, it will need nearly 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy so many shares. If both Swire Shipping and Swire Warehouse are to reach the line, at least HK$2.1 billion is required. After Norman Shiyahuai calculated this data in his mind, he felt tremendous pressure. A conservative estimate is a huge cash flow of 3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars! Swire Financial¡¯s capital is definitely enough, but I don¡¯t know how much money Cedric Quincy has already withdrawn! Norman Shi Yahuai asked again: "How much liquidity does the company have now?" Cedric Quincy said immediately: ¡°Chairman, we have already liquidated about half of the stocks, but we have invested more than 1.240 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the stocks of four companies, and there is still left in our account. More than two hundred and thirty million Hong Kong dollars are down." Norman Shi Yahuai said immediately: "Not enough There are more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in working capital." "Now that the difficulty of acquisition is lower, we must seize the opportunity to raise funds as soon as possible, and the funds cannot be delayed." "This week, you must increase your liquidation efforts and withdraw at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Cedric Quincy looked solemn and nodded, "Guaranteed to complete the task!" Norman Shiyahuai nodded slightly, and thought it over again, and found that there should be nothing left. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face relaxed a little, and said to Cedric Quincy: "Cedric, you have to Work harder, and take time to rest after finishing the arrangement." "You still need to be in control after the stock market opens in the afternoon." ...

Normally, an increase in the stock market''s trading volume indicates that on the one hand, buyers'' demand has increased, and the stock price is bullish. However, the increase in trading volume has also made the stock market more chaotic, and the already muddy water has been stirred up more muddy. Because the trading volume is too inflated, the stock price naturally follows the rapid increase. The main market players and the big players and market makers make it easy to ship. Small and medium investors cannot judge the true intentions of the main players. There is a high possibility that they will continue to rise or be passively locked up. Those who play finance are smart people, so of course Xia Yu will not be arrogant and underestimate his peers. I have stocks in a company of the Swire Group, which is worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. If you want to maintain a high stock price and ship as soon as possible, you must pay attention to technology to avoid market collapse. To be on the safe side, Xia Yu personally sits at Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. every day, reminding Wang Qi to make adjustments from time to time. Under such circumstances, the shares of Swire Group and Swire Shipping Co., Ltd. held by Jiuding Securities were quickly sold, and the related stock trading volume skyrocketed, but the corresponding stock prices were also controlled to continue to rise, creating a new market. This illusion that the stock price has not reached its peak reduces the vigilance of other investors. In the afternoon of August 24. Swire Financial Corporation. Cedric Quincy stared at every data in the operating room. When it was counted that he had purchased 10.8% of Swire''s stock, he decisively ordered his employees to stop buying the company''s stock, and then hurriedly reported to Norman Shiyahuai. "Chairman, the shares of Taikoo Warehouse Co., Ltd. have been bought!" Norman Shi Yahuai, who was thinking about things, heard the news and stood up excitedly. "Cedric, are you sure?" Cedric Quincy nodded his head and said with a smile on his face: "Chairman, I have been counting and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Now I have asked employees to stop buying." After confirming the correctness, Norman Shiyahuai smiled openly. After venting part of the depression in his heart with a few laughs, he asked again: "Cedric, what about Swire Group and Swire Shipping? What are the differences? " Cedric Quincy replied immediately: "Chairman, the difference is not far, Swire Group is still 1.21% short, and Swire Shipping is 2.37% short. It is expected that these days Able to meet the standard." "it is good!" Norman Shiya nodded with a smile. At this moment, Cedric Quincy narrowed his smile and suddenly asked: "Chairman, now that we have completed the actual control of Swire Warehouse, do we need to make an announcement?" Norman Shiyahuai contemplated his eyebrows for a long time, but slowly shook his head, and did not agree with Cedric Quincy''s proposal. "Don''t announce, let the stock price continue to rise! Just have completed the control. The announcement will only affect the stock price." After completing the absolute control of Swire Warehouse, Norman Shiyahuai''s mentality and position changed again. When he wants to buy stocks, he must hope that the lower the stock price, the better, so that the cost will be lower. But now, since the company will no longer be robbed, he is surely anxious for the higher the stock price, the better. If the stock price collapses, the first uncomfortable thing is him. After all, he took Swire Warehouse''s stock to mortgage the loan. , A low stock price will increase his risk and pressure. Furthermore, he was not sure whether the stocks he bought were sold by Jiuding Securities. If so, then after the liquidation of Jiuding Securities, it is likely to reverse short positions. If he announces the news to suppress the stock price, he will help Jiuding Securities instead. Even if Jiuding Securities Company did not completely liquidate its position, he did not believe that the enemy would still hold a large number of stocks. If the stock price was high, let them make a profit, and it would not be much more. If it is not, then Jiuding Securities Company is definitely still rushing to raise money. The higher the stock price, the higher the purchase cost of Jiuding Securities Company. Norman Shiyahuai is happy to see the enemy''s funds are consumed. Under a comprehensive analysis, it is actually best for him not to announce the news. What he didn''t know was that his decision just helped Xia Yu! Just as Norman Shi Yahuai focused on buying the shares of Swire Group and Swire Shipping, Xia Yuzheng urged Jiuding Securities to speed up the clearance once again. Jiuding Securities Company. "How much is left to throw away?" In the operating room, Xia Yu glanced around, then looked at Wang Qi and asked. Wang Qi reported immediately: "Chairman, according to statistics at 11.30 minutes, there are still 3.25% equity in Swire Group and 3.06% in Swire Warehouse. Swire Shipping did not sell 4.15% of its shares." "These three companies have sold 11 billion Hong Kong dollars in return." Xia Yu pondered slightly, and said softly: "That is to say, the company already has more than 24 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds?" Wang Qi nodded and said in detail: "The result of the statistics last night was 24.68 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now that I have sold some stocks this morning, the cash in the account should exceed 25 billion Hong Kong dollars. " There are 25 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, enough to wreak havoc in the next stage. After thinking about it, Xia Yu solemnly instructed Wang Qi: ¡°Increase the selling, and be sure to dump all the shares of the Swire Consortium¡¯s companies before the market is closed tomorrow afternoon, even if it will cause the stock price to fall!¡± "After the market is closed tomorrow, calculate all the data such as liquidity and profit earned by the action to me" Hearing this order from Xia Yu, Wang Qi realized that August 26 should be a crucial turning point. He nodded without hesitation, and replied in a deep voice, "Guaranteed to complete the task!" Wang Qi, who was ordered by Xia Yu, finally let go of his hands and feet. After the market was closed in the morning, he summoned the leaders of all the action groups to convey the spirit of the chairman Xia Yu''s instructions, and formulated an action plan for the afternoon and tomorrow. Sure enough, after the stock market opened in the afternoon, investors suddenly noticed that the selling orders of Swire Group, Swire Warehouse and other companies suddenly increased, which naturally attracted the attention of some institutions. Just because Wang Qi stepped up the sale, it doesn''t mean that he didn''t even do basic cover-up work. The price control group of Jiuding Securities is still actively speculating on the stock price. Because the stock price is still rising, even if there are a lot of sell orders in the market, there are still institutions willing to take a gamble. But on the other hand, major institutions have launched relationships one after another, trying to find out which big head is selling and leaving the market. If the selling party is Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., the target, then they have to quickly think about the future. It''s a pity that Wang Qi had dealt with stocks a long time ago, and he also ordered employees to keep their mouths shut. It''s strange that other organizations can find out. After half an hour before the market close on the afternoon of August 25, the last stock of Swire Shipping was listed and the transaction was completed soon. "President, our three teams have also completed the tasks." After the person in charge of the third group confirmed the account, he reported loudly to Wang Qihui in the middle of the operation room. Wang Qi glanced across the faces of the group leaders, and ordered: "Each group will report all the statistics to me. I will wait for you in my office." After speaking, Wang Qi left the operation room with confidence. Twenty minutes later, each group submitted all the data to him. He did not ask the secretary to assist him, and he collected the data reported by each group alone. After calculating for nearly half an hour, he confirmed each number three times, then took the data and got up and walked to the office of Chairman Xia Yu. "Tuk tuk!" "Come in!" "Chairman, this is the data you want. I personally counted it. I checked it three times and it should be no problem." After Wang Qi finished speaking, he presented the statistical data to Xia Yu. Xia Yu showed a smile, took the data sheet, and scanned it carefully. The Swire Group¡¯s stock acquisition invested 2.549 billion Hong Kong dollars, sold at a high price of 7.544 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit reached 4.995 billion Hong Kong dollars. Break through 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Swire Godown invested 547 million Hong Kong dollars in acquisition funds and sold a total of 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a profit of 2.53 billion Hong Kong dollars. The Swire Shipping Company invested 729 million Hong Kong dollars in acquisition funds, sold a total of 3.239 billion Hong Kong dollars, and made a profit of 2.510 billion Hong Kong dollars. The cumulative figure is that the total investment is 3.825 billion Hong Kong dollars, but the profit has reached 9.558 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit is two and five times the cost! This profit exceeded Xia Yu''s estimate. He originally estimated that if the operation went smoothly, he could make a profit of about 7 billion, but now it exceeds more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. But thinking about it the other way round, the Swire Group, which has the lowest share price increase, is about four times the stock price before the action, so the room for increase is about three times. This is limited by the company''s large size, so the increase is small. For example, Swire Warehouse, which had the lowest market value, now has six times its market value before the action, and the room for growth has reached five times! Xia Yu''s comprehensive profit is only 2.5 times, which is not too high compared to the growth of these companies, but considering that the huge amount of self makes the operation difficult, it is normal. Then Xia Yu looked at the total amount of liquidity, including the profit of this operation, which amounted to more than 26.783 billion Hong Kong dollars. ... After reading all the data, Xia Yu smiled satisfied. He instructed Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, you can relax in the next few days. From now on, the investment department is only allowed to sell stocks and not to buy any stocks. Everything will follow my instructions." "By the way, we will abandon the acquisition of Swire Group and other companies after you let the news." "Tomorrow, we can watch the show!" Upon hearing this, Wang Qi showed a relaxed smile, looking forward to tomorrow... ps: Ask for votes! v3 Chapter 1036: The stock price collapsed! When dawn comes, the warmth cuts through the sky, the early morning sun is especially warm, and the sudden rain that came last night swept away all kinds of exhaust gas and floating dust, making the air exceptionally fresh. This seems to indicate that today is a good day. As the sun gradually rises and the time gets closer to work, the whole city begins to noisy. Norman Shiyahuai was tossed and turned to sleep well last night because of the news that came out suddenly yesterday afternoon. After having breakfast this morning, he rushed to Swire Financial. As it happens, Cedric Quincy also had trouble sleeping last night and came to the company early. When Norman Shiyahuai arrived at the company, he happened to see Cedric Quincy reading the newspaper intently. "Cedric, good morning!" Norman Shiyahuai''s words awakened Cedric Quincy. The latter immediately put down the newspaper and greeted Norman Shi Yahuai respectfully: "Chairman, good morning, you have come so early!" "Need a newspaper?" Looking at the thick stack of newspapers in front of Cedric Quincy, Norman Shi Yahuai had read the newspapers for a while while eating breakfast at home, but due to time constraints, he only read the "Jiuding Daily" and "South China Morning Post." He also wanted to know what the headlines of other business newspapers were. "Bring me all business newspapers except "Jiuding Daily" and "South China Morning Post." "Ok." After receiving the newspaper handed over by Cedric Quincy, Norman Shi Yahuai quickly flipped through the newspaper, scanning back and forth in the newspaper, searching for key words, and stopped flipping when he found the target, staring at each word. Read it carefully. After reading the newspapers, Norman Shi Yahuai''s face gradually became gloomy, and his breathing became heavier. Cedric Quincy, who has been observing closely, can understand the chairman''s mood, because he was not in a better mood than the chairman when he read the newspaper just now. Newspapers such as "Hong Kong Economic Journal", "Hong Kong Commercial Daily", "Sing Pao", "Economic Daily" and so on, all discuss the same news on the front page. That was the news that suddenly spread throughout Xiangjiang yesterday afternoon that Jiuding Securities had abandoned its acquisition of Swire Group. Of course, every newspaper has a different style, and different entry points and headlines for news. The most popular headline party is "Jiuding Consortium VS Swire Consortium, it ended in failure!" The more dull headline is "Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. retreats, and the Hong Kong stock market has reached a watershed!" ... Of course, Norman Shiyahuai¡¯s focus is not on the headlines of the newspapers, but on the impact of these newspapers¡¯ headlines reporting on this news! Before the market was closed yesterday morning, Swire Financial finally completed all plans, which also meant that he firmly controlled Swire Group and other companies. He was in a good mood yesterday at noon and afternoon. It was just when he was off work that he learned the news that Jiuding Securities had given up on the acquisition, and his original good mood instantly disappeared. Almost all newspapers now report this news. At this point, there is no doubt that most investors in Hong Kong almost know this news. This certainly gave the Taikoo Consortium an aura of glory that defeated the Jiuding Consortium, but this was just an imaginary thing, and the influence was secret and intangible. But the most urgent thing is that as the Jiuding Consortium retreats and the battle is over, the stock price that was pushed up by the two rivals has lost the core driving force. How can it be maintained? The low stock prices have risen three or four times, and the high ones have risen five or six times. This kind of increase will be invalid even if he throws out good news, let alone he can''t find good news. And the most effective way is undoubtedly to invest a large amount of money in repurchase, to eat all the low-priced sell orders, and the stock price will naturally stabilize temporarily. Just this way, Norman Shi Yahuai directly PASS, he doesn''t have so much money! If he had so much money, he would not give up part of his assets, and his strategy would shrink his strength. So the situation facing now is-no solution! It''s okay if the stock price drops slightly, if it drops too sharply, then he will be on the wax. "Hey¡­¡­" After putting down the newspaper, Norman Shi Yahuai sighed for a long time. Even if he had just gotten up for an hour or two, he felt exhausted physically and mentally. "Cedric, what can you do to stabilize the stock price?" Norman Shiya looked at Cedric Quincy with a glimmer of hope, hoping that he, the financial elite, could figure out a way. It''s a pity that Cedric Quincy is a man and not a god. He thought about this situation last night and didn''t come up with a solution. Facing the hopeful gaze of the chairman, he could only lower his head slightly, shook his head bitterly, and said apologetically: "Chairman, apart from repurchase, there is no other effective way. I can only hope that investors can remain calm. " After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, glanced at Norman Shi Yahuai, who had an ugly face, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Moreover, you have to guard against malicious short selling. Once you are shorted by other institutions, regardless of whether there is a short selling agreement. Will seriously affect the stock price." "If there are institutions to bet against, then we will have to raise funds to take over and stabilize the stock price, otherwise it is easy to be overwhelmed by the stock price, and the consequences of market panic are very serious. After all, there must be enough funds! With sufficient funds and ammunition, no matter which way the enemy comes, he can deal with it calmly. But Norman Shiya''s worst is funding! And when the equity is already sufficient, he doesn''t want to buy stocks at such a high stock price. The risk is too great! "How much money does the company have now?" Norman Shi Yahuai took a deep breath and asked after trying his best to calm down. Cedric Quincy replied immediately: "Chairman, there are still more than 340 million Hong Kong dollars in the company''s account." This amount is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but if it is used for the initial defense now, it is far from enough compared to the total market value of more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars for the four companies. This money must be used to save life at the most critical time! Don''t mess around! Norman Shi Yahuai fell silent and struggled fiercely in his heart. After a long time, he let out a long breath and said softly: "Look at the stock market first. In severe cases, the funds will not be invested in the stock market." Cedric Quincy nodded solemnly and responded in a low voice, "Okay." ... As time passed, the opening time of the stock market was getting closer and closer. Norman Shiyahuai and Cedric Quincy both came to the operating room and waited nervously for the stock market to open. As soon as ten o''clock came, with the ringing of the bell, the four major exchanges opened at the same time The stock price of Swire Group, which Norman Shiyahuai watched closely, shook violently. The stock price is exactly the same. Immediately, he saw that there were many selling orders on the market, but almost no buying orders. One of his hearts suddenly rose up, almost reaching his throat, and he subconsciously held his breath. I saw the Swire Group''s share price fluctuated sharply between 52.65 Hong Kong dollars and 52.74 Hong Kong dollars. After violently fluctuating for about ten seconds. at this time! A sudden sell order made Norman Shi Yahuai''s face changed drastically. Because this amount is as high as 100 lots, and the value of the sell order is more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, the listed price turned out to be 51.5 Hong Kong dollars per share! Directly lower the price of a little more than Hong Kong dollars per share! "Buy! Buy! Buy!" Norman Shi Yahuai stared at the sale order steadily, and kept shouting in his heart, hoping that an institution would eat the sale order. But things backfired. One second passed! Three seconds passed! Five seconds passed! Seven seconds passed... Distributed institutions and retail investors who gathered on exchanges saw this low-price sell order but no one bought it. The situation was completely clear, and their originally fragile mentality collapsed in an instant. After Norman Shiyahuai struggled fiercely in his heart, a touch of determination flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered a trader in front of him: "Buy this equity first...er..." Norman Shi Yahuai hadn''t finished speaking, his neck was as if he was pinched, his eyes were bloodshot instantly, he stared at the electronic disk, his old hands clenched subconsciously. late! PS: Second, ask for votes! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1037: Full collapse! The stock market crash broke out! Chapter 1037 Complete Crash! The stock market crash broke out! I saw a large number of sell orders bursting out of the market suddenly, with a large number reaching thousands of lots, and a few with three or four lots. The prices listed were uneven, and the lowest even went up to 50.7 Hong Kong dollars per share! A conservative estimate is that these sell orders are worth at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars! The trader in front of Norman Shi Yahuai hurriedly turned his head and asked: "Chairman, do you still buy it?" Just when Norman Shi Yahuai was about to answer, there were a few more rapid voices in the operating room, which immediately attracted Norman Shi Yahuai''s attention. "President, Swire Warehouse has a large-scale selling order." "President, Swire Shipping has a large number of selling orders, and the stock price is about to fall." The stock prices of these two companies have also gone wrong! Although I did not go to see it, Norman Shiyahuai guessed that the situation would not be much worse than that of Swire Group. I think that I will have to invest at least 20-30 million Hong Kong dollars to take orders right now. This is still the beginning. The floodgates have been opened, and the selling orders will definitely be continuously thrown out. The existing funds of more than 300 million must be unsustainable. Norman Shi Yahuai shook his head, and said in a low tone to the trader in front of him: "Let''s wait and see." After that, Norman Shiyahuai went to check the stock prices of several other companies, and it turned out that selling orders kept pouring out and the stock prices were falling. Before the stock price touched the insurance line of bank loans, Norman Shiyahuai decided to let it go. He didn''t believe that the stock prices of these companies would fall to the end! All morning, Norman Shi Yahuai watched the stock price fall with a heavy heart. The only thing that made him gratified was that as the market was about to close in the morning, the stock prices of various companies were slowing down. Obviously, investors gradually calmed down after experiencing the initial panic. After all, there has been no buyer to accept the order, and it is useless to keep lowering the price. There are no harms and no benefits. It is better to wait and see. When the market was closed in the morning, the Hang Seng Index had fallen from its peak of 2,365 when the market closed yesterday afternoon to 2,328. The market value of the Swire Group also evaporated 3.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, officially falling below 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the market value at the close was 19.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. After a short break at noon, the stock market opened again, and the stock prices of Swire Holdings and other companies continued to slide down the slope. It''s just that the downward momentum has weakened a lot. At about 2:30 in the afternoon, just as Norman Shiyahuai breathed a sigh of relief, he found that Swire Group''s share price seemed to have fallen a little faster. Not only that, the stock prices of other listed companies also began to fluctuate. Just when Norman Shiyahuai was puzzled, an employee rushed in panting, and the first words of his mouth changed the expressions of Norman Shiyahuai and Cedric Quincy. "Chairman, President, the entire stock market is in trouble!" After all, Cedric Quincy is younger than Norman Shiyahuai. He walked quickly to the employees and asked seriously, "What''s the reason?" The reporting staff took a few breaths and quickly said: "President, a message was circulated on the exchange just now. During a meeting with Fu Chaoshu and others, the northern mainland publicly proposed the concept of''one country, two systems'' for the first time. The future of Xiangjiang has been on the table. Up." Norman Shiyahuai, who had already walked over, heard the employee''s report, and his face was as black as pot stickers. At this moment, his mentality had exploded, and he felt a buzzing in his head. What can an employee be aware of, how can he not realize it as the head of the consortium? Hong Kong¡¯s stock market has been affected by the mainland a lot of times. The Hang Seng Index fell sharply in the past few years because of the impact of Hong Kong¡¯s political future. Every rumor will affect the stock market, causing the stock market to fluctuate wildly. And this time, Norman Shi Yahuai also heard of a team of Xiangjiang intellectuals going north to the mainland, headed by Fu Chaoshu. Now that the news has come back, it is very likely that the news is true! The mainland has officially planned to talk about the future of Xiangjiang! It will definitely cause a huge panic in the capital market! Sure enough, the entire operation room began to become noisy. "The report shows that the Hang Seng Index has begun to plummet, and almost all company stocks have begun to fall!" "The report shows that Swire''s share price has fallen below 40 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the rate of decline is very alarming. There are particularly many selling orders..." "report¡­¡­" The impact of the news instantly formed a hurricane sweeping the entire stock market. Where did Norman Shiyahuai and Cedric Quincy still have the mind to ask the truth about the news, and they immediately went to see the stock market without saying a word. Sure enough, the stock prices of all listed companies in the entire stock market are falling, and you can''t see that the stock price of one company is still rising! Norman Shi Yahuai''s heart instantly froze. If someone is worried, someone is happy. While practitioners in the entire capital market, including Norman Shi Yahuai, were panicking, the atmosphere of Jiuding Securities was very relaxed and comfortable. Seeing that the Hang Seng Index fell below 2,300 points at a rapid rate, and rushed down quickly, Xia Yu''s face was lightly smiled. After Wang Qi was shocked, he immediately looked at Xia Yu, who was calm from beginning to end, with a smile on his face, and asked: "Chairman, did you know the news in advance?" Xia Yu laughed and did not answer Wang Qi''s question. However, Xia Yu''s attitude made Wang Qi sure that the chairman had long known that this event would happen, and he couldn''t help feeling greatly. "Well, let''s sit down and watch the show slowly and see how far we can fall when the market closes in the afternoon." ... The capital market was in a mess because of this news, and the media sector did not give in too much. Reporters from major media and sharks smelled the smell of blood and rushed to the same destination with long guns and short cannons. It was Xinhua News Agency, the mainland''s mouthpiece in Xiangjiang. After the mainland meeting and talks ended at noon today, Wang Ping received the complete content of the conversation, and was ordered to make it public. Even if Wang Ping did not say anything, Fu Chaoshu and others, who had already started returning after lunch, would bring the news back to Xiangjiang. Instead of changing the content of the conversation and letting Xiangjiang rumors spread and affecting the stability of Xiangjiang, Wang Ping, of course, chose to publish it himself in an attempt to calm the chaos that had just occurred in Xiangjiang. So facing the reporters who were besieged at the entrance of the Xinhua News Agency building, Wang Ping directly convened a press conference. He read the idea verbatim, and repeatedly declared that the mainland¡¯s position is that people¡¯s living standards will not be lowered and that foreign capital Do not move, keep the social system of Hong Kong unchanged. After a press conference was like a war , the shirt under Wang Ping''s suit was soaked, and his forehead was covered with dense sweat. He didn''t know whether it was tired or hot. "Pharaoh, now the stock market has begun to plummet, and depending on the situation at the press conference just now, Xiangjiang is going to be chaotic. We have implemented the above orders, but I don''t think the effect will be too good. We must prepare for the worst. " Seeing reporters rushing back with the results of the interview, the second president Li Hua said to Wang Ping anxiously. Wang Ping was also worried. He sighed and said: "I just asked people to count, and most of the media from Xiangjiang came. It would be okay if these media can report what we mean. I''m afraid these are for sales. Fan the flames!" "Yes, some newspapers have no bottom line for money." Li Hua nodded very much in agreement. He knew the urgency of many media in Xiangjiang, and they could make up news for the sake of sales. He was sure that this time there would be newspapers deliberately choking news from the beginning to the end to create breaking news. The original intention is completely different. But Xiangjiang is not in the country, and they cannot use administrative means to restrain and manage. This is the worst! Wang Ping took a deep breath, patted Li Hua on the shoulder, and comforted: "Lao Li, let''s not think about it so much. Let''s wait and see the situation tonight and tomorrow morning. Then we will see the opportunity again." "We haven''t seen Xia Yu for a while, so we can just visit him." Li Hua''s eyes condensed, thinking of Xia Yu''s media empire and his position, he slowly nodded. As long as Xia Yu is willing to help, with Jiuding Media Group''s control of public opinion, it should be enough to bring public opinion back on track.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1038: Let the stock market crash more violently! Chapter 1038 Let the stock disaster come more violently! Last month, the Association of Banks raised interest rates, causing the Hang Seng Index to begin to fall when the stock market opened on Monday, July 20. This was the prelude to the stock market crash. It was just that Xia Yu immediately launched an action against the Swire Consortium, which stimulated the nerves of all financial practitioners and allowed the Hang Seng Index, which had already fallen, to stop its decline and rise again. In the 30-odd days between the collapse of the Hang Seng Index, nearly 100 billion Hong Kong dollars of capital poured into the stock market, which helped the Hang Seng Index rise from over 1,830 to a peak that Hong Kong stocks have never seen before. Two thousand three hundred and fifty-six o''clock. Over a month, the Hang Seng Index rose by more than 500 points. This was the result of Xia Yu''s interference and the influx of capital. However, Xia Yu knew exactly how much moisture there was. The vast majority of financial practitioners also fully understand. It''s just that drumming and spreading flowers is one of the capital games. Many institutions and investors also have a clear understanding. The moment the Swire Consortium and Jiuding Consortium decide their victory is when the bubble is about to burst. It can be said that the risks are almost plainly exposed. It''s just that the benefits are too tempting, so that the institutions and retail investors who enter the market are willing to take risks and bet that they can make a lot of money from the fire, instead of becoming the last poor receiver. Unfortunately, investors did not expect that in order to maintain a high stock price, Norman Shiyahuai would choose to keep it confidential after completing the absolute holding, and decisively chose the former among direct and hidden interests. On the other hand, Xia Yu''s equity clearance was also extremely technical and concealed. There was no leak, and he had successfully fled when the news came out. Therefore, there was no time for investors to flee. After the market opened in the morning, the stock market plummeted like a flash flood. The capital market was already very panicked. While trying to stay calm, there was a breakthrough in the future problem of Xiangjiang, a nightmare for capital, which caused the "flash torrent" to easily overwhelm everyone''s psychological defense. After the news broke in the afternoon that caused the stock market to plummet, wailing and swearing sounded one after another in the four major exchanges. The four major exchanges were in a mess. Faced with a full-scale plunge in the stock market, investors could only accept desperately and helplessly. . In the entire stock market, the purchase orders of various companies that were originally listed were quickly withdrawn when they had time to withdraw, but more often they were facilitated by the rapidly plummeting stock prices, and then the funds were locked up. Under this circumstance, all buying orders in the entire stock market have disappeared, and only selling orders are constantly pouring out, and the price of the selling orders is lower than one. Many investors have lost their minds. It''s not that they don''t know that no matter how low the price is, no one dares to buy, and constantly lowering the selling price will only make them lose more. But what if? What if you are really stupid to buy it? In a desperate and helpless situation, even the slightest possibility will be infinitely magnified and become a life-saving straw that everyone wants to grasp. The stock prices of various companies continue to refresh the lower limit, driving the entire HSI market to plummet. In less than an hour and a half, when the market closed at 4 o''clock in the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index fell below the threshold of 2,100 points to close at 2053. When the market opened in the morning, the Hang Seng Index was at 2356. In other words, today, the Hang Seng Index plummeted by 303 points, a drop of 12.8%. More than a month¡¯s gains were wiped out in just one day. As the stock market closed, the panic in the market subsided. I don''t know how many people fell on the ground. And Jiuding Securities Company. After Xia Yu saw that the Hang Seng Index closed at 2053, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, obviously feeling very happy. Seeing that the market value of Swire Group had dropped to HK$13.28 billion, and the market value of HK$10.5 billion had evaporated that day, the smile on Xia Yu¡¯s mouth became more obvious. Noting the chairman¡¯s gaze, Wang Qi said with a smile: ¡°Swire is the company that needs the most market value in the stock market today. Now that the stock market crash comes, it has fallen the hardest, evaporating tens of billions of market value in one day. I estimate that Norman Shi Yahuai had to be scared of a heart attack." Xia Yu glanced at Wang Qi and said jokingly: "You can go to the Huangdaxian Temple this afternoon and have someone open your mouth." Wang Qi was taken aback, then he laughed. "Wang Qi, you arrange work first, and then come to my office." After the joke, Xia Yu smiled and said to Wang Qi. About ten minutes later, Wang Qi came to Xia Yu''s office and saw Xia Yu who was drinking tea. "Chairman, I''m finished." Xia Yu nodded slightly, signaled Wang Qi to sit down, and instructed him: "The black material about the Taikoo Consortium that Song Bo brought over, and the black material about the Carrian Group, you will let it out tomorrow and add one more. Keep the fire, and be careful not to be discovered." Wang Qi solemnly nodded and promised: "Please rest assured that there will be no mistakes." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, thought about it, and exhorted: "One more thing, as a leading brokerage firm, there will definitely be newspapers who want to know our attitude at this time. You must restrain your employees and don¡¯t talk nonsense to avoid being caught. People overinterpret." "Ok." ... That evening, after dinner, Xia Yu turned on the TV to watch Global Satellite TV¡¯s "News 30 Minutes". The program spent fifteen minutes covering the stock market disaster. At the same time, Wang Ping¡¯s key speech was reported locally. Others did not say at all, the position was very neutral. With the ratings of Global Satellite TV, more than half of the people in Xiangjiang watched this news. Questions about the future of Xiangjiang spread throughout Xiangjiang in a short time, and many people were worried about it. Even Xia Yu''s parents worriedly asked him what to do. Xia Yu could only explain to his parents to calm their emotions. Xia Yu understands his parents'' concerns. After all, their son is a big capitalist, and Xia Yu has never told them about the relationship with the mainland. Early the next morning, there was a lot of negative news related to the coming stock market crash and the future of 1997. In this public opinion situation, the entire Xiangjiang was shrouded in panic. With such an atmosphere, even people with strong inner hearts will inevitably be infected, causing panic in the whole society. Of course there are still positive reports, such as "Ta Kung Pao" and other mainland-controlled media, but the sales of these newspapers are small, and the sound of occurrence is directly drowned out. MacLehose held a press conference immediately after he went to work, urging people to stay calm and call on stock market investors to stay calm. Unfortunately, the effect is not obvious, and the panic is still spreading. As ten o''clock in the morning arrived, the stock market opened again. Amidst the exclamations and screams, the Hang Seng Index plummeted immediately after the opening. The chaos that happened on the exchange yesterday came again today. In just ten minutes after the market opened, the Hang Seng Index broke through the 2,000-point mark and kept going downward. When the panic comes, it is when the rumors are everywhere. All kinds of unfounded news circulated in the chaotic exchange. However, a few news from some unknown sources caused some retail investors and institutions to panic. "Carrian Group is already insolvent, with debts exceeding tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and is suspected of financial fraud. There is no consortium behind it. It just started by defrauding Yumin Finance." "Chen Qingsong, chairman of the Carrian Group, is ready to abscond with the money." "Swire Group has financial problems, and the Shi Yahuai family maliciously invaded more than 750 million group interests!" ... The news one by one said it was the same as it was true, and it was very confusing, and others could not believe it. Those who believed it immediately took action, and feedback to the stock market was that the stock prices of listed companies of the Swire Consortium and Carrian Group opened VIP channels, and the decline was even more rapid. When Norman Shi Yahuai and Chen Qingsong were frightened and angry, Xia Yu, who was comfortably handling official duties in the office, received an unexpected call. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1039: Can I bear such a big responsibility? "Cici, I won''t go home for dinner at noon today." At about 11:40, Xia Yu stopped working and came out of his position. Before preparing to leave, he stroked Li Qian''s hair and said softly. Li Qian nodded obediently, adjusted her tie for Xia Yu, and said softly: "A Yu, you go, but drink less." Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said warmly: "I listen to you and don''t drink so much." When Li Qian heard the words, a charming and sweet smile appeared on Qiao''s face. "Well, it''s decent, it''s late, I should start." Looking at his watch, Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s jade hand, and after speaking, he was sent out by Li Qian. ... Marco Polo Hotel, Harbour City, luxury box No. 88. When Xia Yu pushed the door and entered, he immediately saw Wang Ping and Li Hua chatting inside. The two immediately got up, showing enthusiastic smiles, and greeted Xia Yu kindly. "Mr. Xia, you are here, please sit down!" "I''m sorry, the road is a bit blocked, so the two companies have been waiting for a long time, and they still look at Haihan." Although it was not the appointed time, Xia Yu almost stepped on it. He said with an apologetic expression. When speaking, he shook hands with Wang Ping and Li Hua respectively. Yes, he received a call from Wang Ping, the first president of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency, in the morning, inviting him to eat at Marco Polo Hotel at noon. "No, no, no, we have just arrived on the front foot, and it is not yet the agreed time, how can we apologize." "Yeah, Mr. Xia, you are out of sight." "Sit down, please." ... After a hello and my good greetings, Xia Yu went to the table, and the waiter waiting at the door immediately came in and asked the chairman Xia Yu and Wang Ping to order. After another resignation, Wang Ping had to provoke the "important task" of ordering. Xia Yu chatted with Li Hua. After ordering, the waiters all left and closed the box doors. There were only Xia Yu, Li Wuming, Wang Ping and Li Hua in the huge luxury box No. 88. Xia Yu had guessed the purpose of Wang Ping and Li Hua, but after seeing Wang Ping take the initiative to advance, Xia Yu would not say anything. So when all the dishes are ready, the chat is temporarily over, and there is no substantial content. However, after drinking a glass of wine, he noticed that the atmosphere was getting warmer, and Wang Ping finally couldn''t help it. After putting down his chopsticks, he asked Xia Yu with concern: "Mr. Xia, the stock market is in chaos now, how is your situation with Jiuding Securities?" Xia Yu said with a smile: "My luck is good. I just cleared most of the stocks the day before yesterday. In this situation, I don''t have any problems if I don''t invest." Xia Yu''s answer completely disrupted Wang Ping''s thoughts. He could only reconcile his thoughts and say congratulations: "That''s good." "When I came, I also thought that with your far-sighted vision and powerful skills, Mr. Xia, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is definitely the best securities company in the entire Xiangjiang Stock Market." Xia Yu smiled modestly: "Luck, luck!" At this time, Li Hua suddenly said, "Mr. Xia, don''t be humble. If you say it is luck, then luck is also part of your strength." Speaking of this, he didn''t wait for Xia Yu to answer. He changed the conversation and sighed and said, "But most of the investment institutions and investors are not as lucky as you." "The stock market crash suddenly broke out. If it is not rescued and stopped in time, I don''t know how many people will die, and the entire Xiangjiang investment market will be devastated. When the stock market crash has passed, only devastation will remain, and investment will become very difficult." Xia Yu came secretly, but nodded in agreement and said, "Yes." "You two, I actually called people overnight to analyze the situation last night, and the result was that the stock market crash could not be saved." Wang Ping was vaguely aware of the implication in Xia Yu¡¯s words, and he quickly said: "Mr. Xia, it can actually be saved. Now most people are worried about the future of Xiangjiang and the safety of their assets, but the above has already said. It is very clear that the social system will remain unchanged and the interests of the people of Xiangjiang will also be guaranteed. As long as the publicity is in place, everyone will believe us instead of thinking about leaving Xiangjiang with assets." "Mr. Xia, you know our policies and original intentions, and with your energy in the media field, if you are willing to come forward, I believe it can calm the panic of most people." After speaking, both Wang Ping and Li Hua looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, their eyes full of hope and hope. Xia Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, took a look at the food, and said to Wang Ping and Li Hua, "President Wang, President Li, let''s talk while eating, otherwise it won''t taste good when the dishes are cold." Wang Ping and Li Hua looked at each other, nodded one after another, and again picked up the chopsticks and put the dishes into their mouths, just because there was something in their hearts, no matter how delicious dishes were in their mouths, they would chew wax. Xia Yu had no burden. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he slowly said, "President Wang, to be honest, I haven''t thought of intervening, but the final analysis shows that I can''t come forward and I can''t afford it. responsibility." "Mr. Xia..." When Xia Yu refused, Wang Ping was even more anxious, wanting to say something. It was interrupted by Xia Yu Yang. "President Wang, you might as well listen to me first." Wang Ping took a deep breath, barely smiled, nodded and said, "Sorry, you continue." Xia Yu continued: "I have a certain influence in the media field, but this does not mean that I can talk nonsense." "In order to avoid confusion caused by rumors, Global Satellite TV¡¯s "News 30 Minutes" last night spent half of the time reporting relevant news. If the two presidents watched it, they would know that our attitude was very fair. President Wang¡¯s meaning at the press conference was conveyed to all audiences." "I also read a lot of newspapers this morning. There are many newspapers who fear that the world will not be chaotic. Their reporting positions are very extreme. Compared with them, our position is the most fair." "So in fact, I have already expressed my opinion in this regard." "President Wang, I also know your concerns and goals. I definitely don¡¯t want the stock market crash to become more serious, but I can tell you our analysis that the mainland¡¯s placing the Xiangjiang issue on the table is a factor in the expansion of the stock market crash. It¡¯s not the most fundamental reason for the stock market crash. You don¡¯t need to take the responsibility on yourself.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Ping and Li Huaju frowned. Li Hua said bitterly: "Mr. Xia, I know that the stock market crash was caused by the Swire Group''s company, but this factor alone, even if the stock price plummets, it will drop to the level of more than a month ago, or even lower." "But with the current situation, the whole of Xiangjiang is discussing about the future of Xiangjiang, and generally holding a pessimistic attitude. This situation will definitely open the lower limit of the stock market and cause heavy losses to the people of Xiangjiang. When the time comes, the red-eyed citizens will affirm Will spread grievances on the mainland." "We are sent by the organization. It is our responsibility to maintain the stability of Hong Kong. How can we not be responsible?" Xia Yu shook his head and said, "President Li, the main responsibility for this stock market crash really does not lie in the mainland, but Xiangjiang itself has a problem." Wang Ping stretched his frowning brows a bit, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xia, what is the reason?" Xia Yu slowly said: "There are multiple reasons. The first is that there is a problem with the structure of Hong Kong''s stock market. You also know this. The Hong Kong government is more aware that the four major exchanges are parallel, resulting in many loopholes in the investment environment. The government is already solving it, but the progress is too slow. There is no substantial progress yet. If there is only one exchange in the entire Xiangjiang, the investment environment will be much better." "The second most fundamental point is that there is a problem with Xiangjiang¡¯s economic development structure. Xiangjiang¡¯s economic growth has begun to slow down, which is actually a reverse in disguise. This has led to a decline in the purchasing power of the Hong Kong dollar and lost sufficient economic support. The Hong Kong dollar continues to depreciate, exchange rate spreads are getting bigger and bigger, and capital is starting to leave Hong Kong. In order to solve this problem, HSBC proposed last month that the Association of Banks passed an interest rate hike plan with the purpose of smoothing the spreads and preventing capital outflows." "Under normal circumstances, after the Association of Banks announced an interest rate hike last month, there was a sign of a stock market crash. You can check. The first Monday after the Association of Banks announced the interest rate hike, the Hang Seng Index will immediately It fell." "But there was an accident, which is the third reason. This reason is the most direct and has something to do with me, because I have fought with the Taikoo Foundation." "The capital market is very realistic. The skyrocketing trading volume of the stock market will naturally make the stock market more prosperous. And my Jiuding Group and the Swire Consortium, as the polarities of Chinese and British capital, have no doubts about their influence. Other Chinese consortiums entered the troubled waters to fish, which greatly stimulated the stock market, so the stock market crash was postponed." "Because of the chaos of capital, the Hang Seng Index rose by more than 500 points. This is all false highs. Investors know this well. That''s why the stock market plummeted yesterday. After the crash, the most fundamental problem still exists." "Even if there is no news from the mainland, such as the news of the Carrian Group that just came out today, it is enough to make the stock market plummet. After all, the Carrian Group has always been a tens of billions of''iron stocks'', and it is also a stock market. The weather vane is enough to take over the Swire Consortium and detonate the stock market disaster." "So even if the impact of mainland policies is calmed, the stock market crash should come." "President Wang, President Li, do you think If I stand up to quell the stock market crash temporarily, but the stock market crash continues to erupt later, will I become the target of the public? Can I bear such a big responsibility?" In the last sentence, Xia Yu said very seriously, looking at Wang Ping and Li Hua, making them look at each other with embarrassment. Feeling the stagnant atmosphere, Xia Yu suddenly smiled, the stagnant atmosphere melted like ice and snow. "President Wang, President Li, if you ask from the above, you can pass on my words as they were." "I will also say something from the bottom of my heart. The twisted melon is not sweet, and those who want to leave can''t keep it, and there is no need to keep it, and all they can take away is money. The foundation of Xiangjiang cannot be taken away. It¡¯s just that many companies have changed people to operate. Wouldn¡¯t it be better for people who have the wrong position to leave?" "President Wang, President Li, I''m a bit hungry. I''m going to eat with the rest of the wine, how about you?" Watching Xia Yu pick up the cup, Wang Ping and Li Hua came back to their senses, and quickly toasted with a smile. "Mr. Xia, thank you for your advice. After listening to your words, you have suddenly become clear!" "Yes, Mr. Xia, thank you, we respect you!" "Ruyi!" Xia Yu drank the wine in one sip and served the meal after a few mouthfuls of the food. Wang Ping and Li Hua didn''t bother to drink. After eating and chatting for a while, Xia Yu said goodbye. Wang Ping and Li Hua drove Xia Yu into the car, and then the worried two rushed back. Xia Yu¡¯s attitude is already clear. Wang Ping hopes that Xia Yu¡¯s plan to appease him will go bankrupt, and the stock market crash will continue to break out. He must report the real situation to it. For the rest, they have nothing to do, they can only see how to deal with it... PS: Ask for votes https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1040: HSBC was miserable After successfully fooling Wang Ping and Li Hua, Xia Yu no longer had any worries and continued to promote the stock market crash. Say it. Because of the spread of rumors, the share price of Swire Group has fallen even more severely. When the market closed in the morning, its market value had fallen below 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, closing at more than 8.130 billion Hong Kong dollars, evaporating 5.1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the morning. The market value of, the decline is not inferior to yesterday. Other listed companies of the Swire Consortium, such as Swire Shipping, Swire Warehouse, Swire Industrial Group, etc., all have related rumors outflow, and the stock prices of these companies have also collapsed. Norman Shiyahuai could not have imagined that the market value that has risen in more than a month will evaporate 80% in just over a day, and it is likely to evaporate all today! Norman Shi Yahuai, who was over sixty years old, was in a state of anger and panic all morning like he had taken gunpowder. At noon, Xia Yu fooled Wang at ease, but Norman Shi Yahuai was busy with red eyes. Because Norman Shiya has been in business for many years, even though there are rumors that he has infringed on the interests of several billion shareholders, the Hong Kong government has not sent anyone to investigate or restrict him from leaving the country. But there is no official pressure, just pressure from banks including HSBC has already caused Norman Shiyahuai to collapse. The headquarters of the Swire Group. At noon, the scorching sun was high, and the reporters gathered downstairs in the Swire Group headquarters were uncomfortable, but none of these reporters was willing to leave. They were talking in groups about how the Shi Yahuai family would respond. From time to time, someone looked up at the upper floors of the building. , Seems to be able to see the emergency meeting being held inside. Swire Group''s large conference room. All the executives and the heads of the subsidiaries came, listening to the "roar" of the top leader Norman Shi Yahuai. I saw Norman Shi Yahuai''s face flushed, and his eyes were bloodshot, giving people a crippled feeling. His red eyes kept scanning, and he ordered loudly, and his voice was a little hysterical: "Listen, now the downstairs is full of reporters. A press conference will be held immediately after the meeting. You will all come to the stage to express your opinion. I don''t care what method you use. After returning home, we must promote the raising of funds immediately, and entrust Swire Financial to repurchase the stock, and stabilize the stock price at all costs. If anyone fails, we will be removed..." "Have you heard clearly!" With a roar, many people were shocked and immediately answered loudly. "Listen clearly!" "The meeting is over, come downstairs with me!" After that, Norman Shi Yahuai walked towards the door with the help of his nephew. Soon, Norman Shi Yahuai and his party came downstairs. He ordered people to stop the crazy reporters, took everyone to the simple stage built in advance, and held a press conference. At the press conference, Norman Shiyahuai denied all rumors and claimed that the rumors would pay a heavy price. Then he swears that all the Swire Group is healthy, including the parent company, all listed companies are With sufficient funds, stocks will be repurchased at all costs. Throughout the press conference, Norman Shiyahuai tried his best to maintain his composure and self-confidence, just for fear that his ugly attitude would be maliciously interpreted and cause greater harm. After the brief press conference was over, Norman Shiyahuai, who had returned to the company, couldn''t hold back anymore and resumed his fright and anger. Immediately afterwards, a phone call from HSBC by Shen Bi personally made Norman Shiyahuai go crazy, exhausted, he had to forcibly cheer up and rushed to HSBC with his nephew Wade Shiyahuai. When Norman Shiyahuai came to HSBC, he was greeted with a busy scene. Although it was off work, the lobby of the bank headquarters was crowded with people, all of whom came to withdraw money. There have been several stock market crashes in Xiangjiang in the past two decades, and bank failures have also occurred from time to time. So when the stock market crash came, people with brighter heads immediately thought of quickly taking out the deposits, even if the target was HSBC! Shen Bi was also worried that some irrational citizens would not understand. Therefore, in this special period, in order to prevent things from becoming more complicated, he did not dare to let his employees go off work, and various businesses would run as usual. Of course, these businesses do not include foreign loans... When Norman Shi Yahuai found Shen Bi, Shen Bi was intensively scheduling work and instructed employees to urge the money back at all costs. Seeing that it was not a place to speak, Shen Bi could only say a few more words hastily, and brought Norman Shi Yahuai to his office. Seeing the door closed, Norman Shiyahuai hurriedly said: "Michael, you must help me..." Before Norman Shiyahuai finished speaking, Shen Bi, who was also under great pressure in his heart, interrupted him firmly, and said decisively: "Norman, I can''t help you this time!" "I also need a lot of funds!" "Now the assets you used as collateral are all locked up, and you are quickly approaching the warning line. If you can''t spend enough money to make up the margin pool, then I can only take a special way to solve it." "Michael, you know my situation. I''m going crazy. I need a lot of money to buy back stocks to stabilize the stock price. I can''t spend much. It''s a special period. Only you can help me. If mine When the Swire Consortium falls, HSBC will also..." Norman Shi Yahuai looked very ugly, but still tried his best to convince Shen Bi. Shen Bi, who was also under great pressure, shouted again in a louder voice: "Norman, I said that I have no money to lend you. You saw it when you came. People withdrawing money have filled the entire hall and are about to be queued. It''s on the road, HSBC can''t die with you!" "I have helped you enough!" Norman Shiyahuai did not believe that HSBC would have no money at all. In Xiangjiang, HSBC was the only life-saving straw he could grasp. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up easily! "Michael, when I bought shares in HSBC last month, didn''t I give HSBC 1.674 billion Hong Kong dollars? How could HSBC have no money?" "If you lend me this money again, I will pledge enough assets!" Hearing Norman Shi Yahuai¡¯s words, Shen Bi¡¯s feelings of regret grew stronger. He couldn¡¯t wait to slap himself a few times. Why would he be so betrayed by Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank to take over these two banks at low prices? Some of the loan business and assets that have been released have caused most of the liquidity to be consumed. It can be said that in the past few years, HSBC''s cash flow has never been as small as it is now! At present, the liquidity of the entire Hong Kong HSBC bank account is only more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars. Another HSBC securities department of the money bag, at this time all the funds are locked up, and if it is not solved, the liquidation will not be far away, and then HSBC will have to suffer huge losses The collateral in the loans between HSBC and the Swire Consortium and the Shi Yahuai family is worth seven or eight billion Hong Kong dollars, and a large part of it is the equity of various companies of the Swire Consortium. In this respect, they have suffered a lot. Once the news was exposed, the more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars on HSBC''s account was not enough for depositors to run, let alone fill the gaps in losses. Moreover, now that the stock market crash is approaching, HSBC''s stock price has continued to plummet, and he also needs funds to stabilize the stock price. Therefore, the current Shen Bi, in the face of the current bad situation of Hong Kong HSBC Bank, is completely transformed into an iron rooster, and no one wants to pull a feather from him! Not only that, he also wanted to invest money everywhere to enhance the bank''s ability to resist risks. But in these circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Bi to tell Norman Shi Yahuai. He didn''t explain at all, his attitude was as tough as before. It¡¯s not that he ignores the friendship between friends, but Norman Shi Yahuai doesn¡¯t talk about friendship. He still wants to use assets to borrow money at this time. He is about to be miserable by the assets of the Swire Consortium and Shi Yahuai¡¯s family. Take the time bomb again! "Norman, don''t waste your time with me. You should think of a way to raise funds as soon as possible. Once the assets you mortgage with us are insolvent, you will default. In order to reduce losses, as long as someone pays, I Will be sold to avoid more losses!" "I have to be responsible for the shareholders and the parent company!" "I hope you can understand!" Speaking of this, Shen Bi''s gaze is like a knife, and he stares at Norman Shi Yahuai, his gaze is more determined than ever, showing that he will do what he says. PS: The second one was written at 1:47, so everyone has been waiting for a long time. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1041: Critical hit "Michael, you said, apart from HSBC, where can I get funds at this time?" Shen Bi resolutely refused again and again, leaving Norman Shiya in despair. He was full of unwillingness and said angrily. As for Shen Bi''s threat of selling his mortgaged assets at a low price, he didn''t dare to object to it, and he was unwilling to entangle it. The most important thing now is to stabilize the stock price of related companies. As long as the stock price does not fall to the warning line in the pledge loan contract, the scene described in Shen Bi''s words will not happen. He now has only one thought left in his mind, and that is-make money! Make money! Make money! ! ! Looking at Norman Shi Yahuai''s red eyes, the former calmness and wisdom were completely gone, and he looked like a lunatic, and Shen Bi was slightly calm. He took a deep breath, and when Norman Shiyahuai''s eyes were shining with hope, he slowly shook his head and gave him another crit: "Norman, let me say one last sentence, I can''t give you extra money to support you. , I have been calculated by Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. I am ready to ask my parent company for help to survive this disaster. HSBC Bank is very difficult even to protect itself and is no longer able to help you!" "It''s less than an hour before the stock market opens in the afternoon, so hurry up and find another way." Norman Shi Yahuai looked at Shen Bi with a look of astonishment, but found that the latter did not seem to be a joke at all, and his mind was in confusion. HSBC was actually calculated by Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank? These things happened? Even HSBC, the richest bank in Hong Kong, is short of funds? What Norman Shiyahuaiduo hopes to hear is fake, but the bitter smile and regretful expression on Shen Bi''s face are not fake at all. His mouth squirmed, and for a long time he showed a smile more ugly than crying. "Hey¡­¡­" Norman Shi Yahuai didn''t say much, he sighed heavily, then turned and walked towards the door, this figure is so lonely and lonely. Shen Bi stood still, like a piece of wood, watching Norman Shi Yahuai''s heavy steps, Xiao Suo''s back gradually disappeared into the corner. "Hey¡­¡­" After a long time, another sigh sounded in the empty office. After a moment of depression, Shen Bi worked hard again and walked out of the office quickly. He had to find a way to raise funds. With just over 600 million Hong Kong dollars in working capital, he was not confident enough to cope with this sudden stock market crash... ... Norman Shiyahuai, a big British consortium, is on the verge of collapse, and another big Chinese who is at the center of the rumors is also reluctant. Carrian Group headquarters. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, Chen Qingsong looked at the crowd gathered downstairs. What lingered in his ear was the noisy phone ringing on the desk. The phone hasn¡¯t stopped since the morning, and after a few answers, he never picked it up again. He doesn¡¯t know who made the call, but he knows the purpose of the caller. Since it is resolved No, why bother to pick it up? Just let it ring... "Tuk tuk!" At this time, there was a rush of knocks on the door, beating in Chen Qingsong''s heart like a urging drum. He turned his head to look at the office door with some stubbornness, and said tiredly, "Come in." I don¡¯t know if the person knocking outside heard clearly. After Chen Qingsong finished speaking, a few seconds later, the person knocking outside unscrewed the door, pushed the door carefully and looked into the room, which happened to be dim with Chen Qingsong. The eyes met. The person who knocked on the door was Chen Qingsong''s secretary, Chen Feng, and his nephew, a 27-year-old young man. Seeing Chen Qingsong inside, Chen Feng walked over quickly. Without waiting for Chen Feng to report, Chen Qingsong''s hoarse voice sounded: "How many banks have come?" Chen Feng said immediately: "Uncle, people from fifteen banks have come here, including the executives of HSBC, the vice president of Hang Seng Bank, and the vice president of Bank of East Asia. The other banks are all directly here. Arguing to see you, we all said you were not in the company, but they didn''t believe it at all." "Just now Zhong Zhengwen wanted to come to you, but now he is also entangled by them." The Zhong Zhengwen mentioned in Chen Feng''s words is the head of the Xiangjiang Zhong family and the Bole of Chen Qingsong. He is now the vice chairman of Carrian Group. Chen Qingsong nodded numbly and said he knew. Seeing the uncle who was still full of spirits and red face the other day, his face became haggard and lacking energy in just one morning. Chen Feng was worried. Thinking of what he wanted to report, his mouth squirmed and he didn''t know how to report. He was afraid of his uncle. Can''t bear this blow. Chen Qingsong glanced at Chen Feng and asked in a hoarse voice: "Let''s talk, what else is there?" Chen Feng was silent for a long time, thinking that time was passing by, he plucked up the courage and said, "Uncle, the police are here." As soon as he heard the police, Chen Qingsong''s godless eyes regained their brilliance. He took a deep breath, forcibly concentrated, and paced back and forth in the office. After a while, he stopped and suddenly said to Chen Feng: "Did you not say that I was not here?" Chen Feng said with a bitter expression: "Uncle, I have already said it, but the police do not know where to determine that you are at the company. They forcibly ordered me to come up and find you to cooperate with the investigation. If you haven''t come down in ten minutes, they will come up by themselves. ." Chen Qingsong was silent. The police even issued an ultimatum, so they must know that he is here. But he couldn''t figure out why the police are so confident and dare to come directly to the door? Thinking of the "rumors" that suddenly came out in the morning, even the sources of funds of the Carning Group and Yumin Finance were directly exposed, and Chen Qingsong felt that an invisible giant hand was manipulating behind him. Since the messenger behind the scenes knew such a secret thing, if he directly handed the evidence to the police, then... Thinking of this, Chen Qingsong felt his scalp numb, his breathing was not smooth, and the despair in his heart became more intense. Everything happened so suddenly, there was no time for him to respond. Seeing that Chen Qingsong hadn''t spoken for a long time, Chen Feng kept looking at his watch, when there was one minute left. He hurriedly reminded: "Uncle, there are still two minutes before the time limit given by the police." Chen Qingsong suddenly made a decision. He ignored Chen Feng and quickly walked to his desk, opened the hidden compartment in Chen Feng¡¯s shocked eyes, revealing the safe inside, and then quickly unlocked it and took out two bank cards and a few. The forged ID card and two wads of U.S. dollars walked up to the shocked Chen Feng and handed it to him, hurriedly exhorting: "A Feng, these are two anonymous bank cards. This one from Citibank is for you. The money inside. It¡¯s enough for you to be a human. The code is six or four. Give this bank card from the Swiss Bank to your aunt. She knows the code." "Tonight, immediately take your aunt and your nephew and niece on a boat to the island country, and then fly to Los Angeles, USA. I bought a house there. Your aunt knows where it is. They will ask you to take care of them first." "You must be optimistic about your aunt, don''t call, you must pay close attention to the news of Xiangjiang, in case...I''m fine, I will take the initiative to call, remember?" Seeing this picture of his uncle explaining his funeral, Chen Feng came from it in grief and said with a sad face, "Uncle..." Chen Qingsong grabbed Chen Feng''s shoulders with both hands, his eyes were like a knife, and he scolded: "A Feng, uncle I am sorry for many people in this life, but I have never been sorry for you. You must take good care of your aunt, nephew and niece, or I will die. Will forgive you!" "Take care of them!" Chen Feng nodded heavily and swears: "Uncle, I swear, as long as I''m still alive, I won''t let my aunts and aunts get into trouble!" Chen Qingsong didn''t say much, patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, and then strode towards the door. The police are already waiting downstairs. He has nowhere to escape. All he can do is to cooperate with the investigation. I just hope... the police didn''t have deadly evidence... It''s just a pity that the police have already received detailed evidence. After Chen Qingsong went downstairs, he was taken away by the police in full view. The heads of many banks waiting downstairs were desperate. The reporter waiting at the door kept taking pictures excitedly. On the way to the police station, Chen Qingsong''s brain was running at a high speed. He thought of many reasons to excuse him. After arriving at the police station, he also saw his lawyer, which made him feel a little bit calm. However, when passing by a review room, and just when I saw Ibalahi, the assistant manager of Yumin Finance Company, Chen Qingsong''s brain buzzed, and his heart quickly sank to the bottom. It''s over... The news that Chen Qingsong was taken away by the police spread quickly, especially after it reached the exchange, even if it was closed, the crowded exchange "exploded" again, and panic lingered in everyone''s heart. In the suffering and panic of everyone, it was half past two in the afternoon. The stock market, which had been closed for two hours, opened again... PS: Broken bowl, ask for votes https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1042: The run is coming "The Hang Seng Index fell below 1,700 points!" As soon as the stock market opened, with a scream, the market dived again, and the road to a full-scale decline opened again. "The Swire Group has a buy order and has begun to buy back. Look at Swire Shipping." "Swire Warehouse also has an order to pay, everyone quickly sell it..." Soon, many investors who knew about the press conference held by Swire Group at noon found out that the Swire Group was really buying back shares! This makes these investors very excited, rushing to adjust the price to sell orders, trying to flee. As for restoring confidence and continuing to hold it? This idea, at most, flashes in the minds of more greedy investors. Now the stock market crash is definitely not in the end. Who knows how much funds Swire Group is going to buy back? If you don¡¯t seize the opportunity to flee, and wait until Swire Group has no funds to give up the repurchase, the stocks you hold will not be able to cash out. . This choice of investors has caused the Swire Consortium¡¯s listed companies¡¯ selling orders to become very active. Swire Financial, which is responsible for the operation of repurchase matters, has been in a hurry, and Norman Shiya, who has been following it, is frightened. But no matter what, Swire Financial has basically temporarily maintained the stock prices of Swire Group and other companies. The only price is the rapid consumption of funds. Fortunately, Norman Shiyahuai got news from London. His eldest son has already borrowed funds urgently. Today, he is confident of borrowing at least 50 million pounds, which is nearly 400 million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the 300 million Hong Kong dollars originally owned by Swire Financial, there is more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, and he is more certain. Although continue to borrow money now, once they fail, the loss will be even greater, but now if they fail, the Shi Yahuai family can also lose their underwear and end in bankruptcy. Since the results are similar, it is better to fight for a living! The stock prices of the Swire Consortium''s companies have temporarily maintained, but the Carrian Group has taken the center stage. There are a total of three listed companies under the Carrian Group, namely Carrian Real Estate, Vinda Shipping and Qichang Life Insurance Company, which was acquired just over two months ago. All the rumors that broke out in the morning were deadly enough to cause the stock prices of these three listed companies to plummet. At noon, Chen Qingsong, the legendary chairman of the Carning Group, was taken away by the police, and the people of Yumin Finance were also taken away by the police. These two news made everyone believe the truth of the "rumors". After many investors had their brains replenished, they also solved their doubts about the history of the legendary rise of the Carning Group, and sentenced the Caring Group to death in their hearts. Reflected in the stock market, the stock prices of the three companies have collapsed, and the prices of the selling orders placed by investors have become more severe, which is entirely a trend of jumping off the property price. But other people are not stupid. The possibility of the Carrian Group going bankrupt is extremely high. Even if someone takes the order, it will be taken over by the boss after the bankruptcy liquidation. Where can they get these simple financial institutions and retail investors? ... In the operation room of Jiuding Securities Company, the atmosphere is not serious at all, it is very relaxed and cozy. Even the employees have nothing to do. They get together in twos and threes while joking and analyzing the stock market. Wang Qi and Song Bo were standing beside Xia Yu, but Xia Yu and Wang Qi talked and laughed freely, while Song Bo smiled reluctantly and looked very worried. Seeing that the stock price of Swire Group had been temporarily maintained, Xia Yu laughed instead. "Hehe, I didn''t expect Norman Shiyahuai to get old so quickly, he seems to overestimate his strength." Wang Qi nodded in agreement and smiled: "Yes, now that the market value of Swire Group has not fallen to the market value before our action, Norman Shiyahuai began to buy back, and he must have taken a lot of equity to pledge loans." "I just don''t know how much money Norman Shiyahuai still has to buy back shares!" "It stands to reason, there shouldn''t be much, how can he have the confidence to fight?" Song Bo suddenly said at this time: "Mr. Xia, the president of Taikoo Industrial Group proposed to buy back shares to stabilize the stock price. I directly rejected it, but it is difficult for other companies to say." "It doesn''t matter, the more you buy back, the faster you die." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said faintly: "Since he is so rich, Swire Financial must return the money to others." Wang Qi was taken aback, and he heard the profound meaning of Xia Yu''s words. He actively asked: "Chairman, do you want to encourage investors from Swire Financial to ask for investment funds?" Xia Yu gave Wang Qi an appreciative look, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, Norman Shi Yahuai has always used Swire Financial''s public funds for private use, regardless of the interests of investors. This behavior must be stopped." Wang Qi laughed immediately. He could imagine the embarrassment of Norman Shi Yahuai and Cedric Quincy when investors surrounded Swire Financial. Xia Yu gave Wang Qi a look, and the latter immediately nodded in response, and then left the operation room directly. Xia Yu looked at Song Bo again and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, the stock price plunge of Swire Industrial Group is a good thing for you. Just wait for a low-price order." Song Bo squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, a good thing." Seeing Song Bo''s smile, Xia Yu raised his brows and asked: "Mr. Song, how do you look unhappy?" "Isn''t it due to insufficient funding?" Seeing Song Bo''s smile stagnated, Xia Yu knew it, and he was right. But he doesn''t care if Song Bo has enough funds, he has reminded him several times anyway. In order to stop Song Bo from asking him to borrow money to buy, he jokingly said: "Mr. Song, I have reminded you a few times, try to find a way to raise funds, the opportunity is rare, you can rest assured to buy, anyway. I will support the bottom, and I won¡¯t make it cheaper for others." Song Bo was a little stunned, and pressed the words that were already difficult to speak directly to the bottom of his heart. He nodded in a moody mood: "Okay, I will think of a solution." ... When Wang Qi asked people to release the news that "Swire Financial will use most of the investors'' funds to acquire Swire Holdings, Swire Shipping... junk stocks, the risk of bankruptcy is extremely high", all investors in Swire Financial''s funds Hearing the wind, they rushed towards Swire Financial with an investment agreement. Norman Shiyahuai, who was in the Swire Financial Corporation and instructed the repurchase of stocks, felt like the sky was spinning when he heard the news. Swire Financial¡¯s many funds have raised a total of 1.54 billion Hong Kong dollars from investors. If all investors now come to ask for funds, Swire Financial cannot get it out. Once you can''t get it out... Thinking of the terrible consequences, Norman Shiyahuai felt that the future was dark. When he finally got back on his feet, Cedric Quincy asked him anxiously: "Chairman, the company will definitely be blocked by investors in a while, what should we do?" Norman Shi Yahuai''s expression changed rapidly, and at the last gritted teeth, he said bitterly: "Agree to them to get back the investment money, but they will benefit from deprivation of their active breach of contract, and delay the refund as much as possible!" Norman Shi Yahuai intends to resort to dragging words. Cedric Quincy replied, nodding his head: "Understood, I will make arrangements." It''s just that he stopped as soon as he took a step, then turned around and asked Norman Shi Yahuai: "Then Chairman, do we still continue to buy back?" Norman Shi Yahuai looked cold, and said in a deep voice, "Continue to buy back!" Anyway, if you really want to die, then drag the investor into the water together so that the investor can bear part of the loss for him. The agreement signed by Swire Financial and the investor was clearly written in classFund Investment Yes The risk of failure is borne by the investor. When facing Norman Shiyahuai''s bloodshot eyes, Cedric Quincy trembled in his heart and immediately nodded in response: "Okay." After speaking, he left quickly, and he had to arrange his subordinates to deal with the upcoming wave of refunds. ... As soon as Cedric Quincy made arrangements in an emergency, a large number of investors rushed into the Swire Financial Corporation brandishing the investment agreement, clamoring to get back the investment funds, and the entire Swire Financial Corporation suddenly became like a vegetable market. And along with these investors are a large number of reporters who are excited to film this messy scene. It''s just that Swire Financial easily agreed to refund investors, which disappointed the reporters. It¡¯s just that over time, these reporters discovered that the speed of Swire Financial¡¯s refunds was not generally slow, and that investors had to wait for a batch of refund materials to be collected and then go to the bank for refunds. Investors could not be on-site. Get the investment money back. Some clever reporters discovered the strangeness and became excited again, and they had already begun to conceive the best copywriting in their minds. At four o''clock that afternoon, the stock market closed again. The Hang Seng Index closed at 1523 points, plummeting more than 500 points that day, and the drop was even greater than yesterday! The temporary closing of the stock market is not the end, but another beginning. The retail investors who came out of the exchange began to rush to Xiangjiang''s many securities companies, private equity and public equity funds, and... banks! PS: Thanks for the reward of Starstorm Snow 1000 starting coins, thank you! PS: I was too busy at work on Monday, which caused the update to be late, sorry. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1043: The volume of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash In fact, Hong Kong''s banking industry has already broken out a boom in withdrawals, and all banks in Hong Kong are crowded with depositors who come to withdraw money. The source is of course the stock market crash. But adding fuel to the fire, it is not the Swire Group that has been at the center of the storm that is driving the squeeze upsurge, but the Carrian Group! There are a lot of banks that lend to Carrian Group. When they realize that the stock market crash is coming, these banks are all very vigilant. When assigning the task of recovering loans, the confidentiality work is also raised to the highest level. For example, which companies have loan business with banks, bank liquidity and other information are kept confidential and then kept secret. But confidentiality is useless. The scene in which the heads and executives of fifteen banks entered the Carrian Group at noon was caught by reporters. With the insights of the reporter, all the heads and executives of these banks were quickly identified. After the news broke, fifteen banks, including HSBC, Bank of East Asia, and Hang Seng Bank, all poured into a large number of bank depositors. And the banks that have loan business with Carrian Group are far more than these 15! As interested people continue to investigate in depth, more and more banks have been picked up. Of course, the most serious run is undoubtedly Yumin Finance, a financial company that can accept deposits. The "rumor" pointed out that Yumin Finance had loaned more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to Carrian Group in an illegal manner! Except for a part of the 3 billion Hong Kong dollars from the Bank of Malaysia, many of them belong to the depositors of Heung Kong! When Xia Yu returned home in the afternoon, as long as he passed the bank along the way, he could see a long line outside the bank, even at the gates of Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, which had no negative news at all. This shows the panic of the citizens of Hong Kong. "A Yu, Jiuding Bank is also facing a run. To see the number of people queuing at the door, there are still people queuing up. The bank may not be able to control the door at 12 tonight. Do you want to take some measures?" When passing by a branch of Jiuding Bank, Li Qian saw the long line of people at the bank''s door through the window of the car. She looked worried and asked Xia Yu softly. Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said with a relaxed and natural expression: "Cici, don''t worry, they can''t withdraw much money. Even if all the depositors take out the money, it will not affect the normal operation of Jiuding Bank." "Tomorrow I will arrange it again." What Xia Yu said is not a joke. Jiuding Bank is totally different from other banks in Xiangjiang, because Xia Yu kept injecting capital into Jiuding Bank. In the beginning, Jiuding Bank was developed with the support of his own funds. A lot of money was made from speculation in foreign exchange, pound sterling, etc. Even if Xia Yu temporarily drew out the money, it was re-injected later. So now even if all depositors withdraw their deposits, Jiuding Bank still has liquid funds. Seeing that Xia Yu''s chest was well established, Li Qian''s worries disappeared, she nodded lightly and stopped talking, Zhenshou leaned on Xia Yu''s shoulder, a charming smile appeared on her pretty face. ... The next morning, after Xia Yu had breakfast, he drove to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank in Central on Hong Kong Island. As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the Jiuding Bank Building, Xia Yu saw the crowds in the hall. Fortunately, the security personnel maintained the order properly so that it did not appear to be messy. Surrounded by bodyguards, Xia Yu entered Jiuding Bank, went straight upstairs, and found Liu Tianci. "Chairman, good morning!" Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Liu Tianci was a little surprised, and quickly put down his work and greeted Xia Yu. "Well, good morning!" Xia Yu replied casually, and asked the situation straight to the point: "Godsend, how long did the run last night?" Liu Tianci Limahui reported: "Chairman, now all banks in Hong Kong are experiencing bank runs. Yesterday, I only let all branches open until 12 o¡¯clock and they closed. I asked them to investigate. Our bank was the last night to operate. The late family." "If we don''t close, I guess depositors who withdraw money can line up until this morning." "I heard the staff report that many depositors came over at four or five today and started queuing." Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked with concern: "How is the employee''s mood?" Liu Tianci replied: "The employees'' emotions are very stable, but they have been busy, I am afraid they will not be able to bear it." Xia Yu nodded, thought for a while and instructed: "Let all branches work in shifts. The health of employees is more important." Liu Tianci also had this plan, so he readily responded, "Okay, I will let someone carry it out today." "But... Chairman, according to the current trend, the run on Hong Kong will intensify. Carrian Group has pitted many small banks. Those small banks have low capital and face runs. The risk of bankruptcy is extremely high. Once a bank goes bankrupt , Then the upsurge of the raise will reach a new height again." "Although our bank is not bad for money, I don''t think we can allow depositors to withdraw money, and we can even absorb deposits against the market." Xia Yu raised his brows slightly and asked with a smile, "What are you going to do?" Liu Tianci immediately said the method he thought of last night: "Chairman, I have thought of a method, but there is a relatively large risk, and the strong support of Aegis Security Company is neededMy plan Yes, make a transparent glass cabinet in the center of the lobby of the headquarters, weld the iron cage outside, and put one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in the glass cabinet." "As long as they enter our bank, they know that our bank has money, which should be enough to dispel the worries of depositors who worry about our bank''s bankruptcy." Xia Yu smiled and praised: "This is a good way." "It''s just that, have you ever calculated, how big is one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash?" Seeing the chairman''s approval, Liu Tianci refreshed his spirits and immediately replied: "Chairman, I have calculated specially that if one thousand yuan denomination is put in banknotes, the volume of one billion Hong Kong dollars is about 1.328 cubic meters." "If you put all one hundred yuan in denominations, the volume of one billion Hong Kong dollars is 11.78 cubic meters." Hearing this, Xia Yu directly said: "Just use one hundred yuan denomination, piled up to more than three meters high, it can give people a shocking visual impact, the more this kind of run, the more it can reflect the strength of our bank. ." "Don''t worry about security, I will let Yan Shining take care of it." "Now the key is cash. How long will it take to mobilize?" Liu Tianci said decisively: "There is enough cash in the underground vault, which can be carried out at any time." Xia Yu nodded: "Well, today you have to make a tempered glass cabinet and iron cage during the day, and work overnight at night, and the day after tomorrow, when the door opens on Sunday morning, can it be completed?" "Two days are enough!" "Okay, I will provide you with the security staff, waiting for your performance the day after tomorrow!" "Thank you, chairman, and promise not to let you down!" ... PS: The first one will be sent, ask for a recommended monthly pass! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1044: Do we still take this money? The bank''s full-scale run storm is not only a stock market crash issue, but a problem of the economic order of the whole society in Hong Kong. Therefore, except for bank leaders who rushed to show themselves to prove their innocence, and called on the public to calm down. Related departments such as the Hong Kong Government¡¯s Financial Secretary and the Financial Services Bureau have also moved, and MacLehose has also stepped up and called on the people to calm down. But at this time, anyone¡¯s empty words are no longer useful. The citizens only care about protecting their own interests as soon as possible. As long as they hold their own money in their hands, no matter what society becomes, at least they still have a certain degree of freedom. Guarantee capacity. Therefore, the withdrawals continue to withdraw, and those who want to get back the investment continue to get back the investment. In this case, the negative impact of the bank run has actually made the stock market crash worse. The stock market and the banking industry have fallen into a vicious circle. When the market was closed that afternoon, the stock market''s Hang Seng Index fell to 1087. Although today''s decline is not as large as yesterday, it has maintained a decline of more than 400 points for three consecutive days, creating a historical record for the Hong Kong stock market. The speed and severity of the stock market crash has never been before. Many investors have actually gone bankrupt. The stock market is full of stocks that no one cares about. These stocks are placed in the "vegetable market" like rotten cabbage. Pick. However, the Hang Seng Index of 1087 has obviously not bottomed out, and no one is stupid enough to enter the market to buy the bottom. Not to mention, the stock market crash broke out so suddenly, and banks also broke out a run storm, causing the banks to tighten money to recover loans. How many companies, such as Henderson Land Development, were lucky to go public and raise more than one billion yuan before the stock market crash? Not many! ! Most companies are in a hurry to deal with banks. Where can I leave the remaining money to think about bargaining after the stock market crash? ... After the stock market closed today, Xia Yu paid special attention to the stocks of Swire Group and other companies, and was surprised to find that although the stock prices of several companies such as Swire Group have fallen today, the decline was not significant. For example, the most prominent Swire Group''s market value has actually been fixed at more than 7.75 billion Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the market value at the close yesterday, it only fell by more than 380 million Hong Kong dollars. Think about it again yesterday, but the market value of Swire Group lost more than 5 billion yuan! Today is also Friday, so after the stock market is closed, the market will be closed for two days, so Norman Shi Yahuai can live longer temporarily. But Xia Yu didn''t care. As long as Norman Shiyahuai could not put out more than 5 billion in cash, the Swire Consortium was destined to fall. Now Swire Financial is also facing a turmoil from investors claiming back investment funds. He must have no time for HSBC to take care of him. He does not believe that Norman Shiyahuai has the ability to borrow so much money! Just let him live a few more days, anyway, the end result is the same... ... The panic-shrouded Saturday passed by, and it was Sunday morning in a blink of an eye. On this day, Xia Yu deliberately woke up a little earlier. He changed his clothes and went out after finishing breakfast and not staying at home. Today, he will take Li Qian to a good show. When his car drove to the vicinity of the Jiuding Bank Building in Central on Hong Kong Island, he saw people standing in front of the stairs at the entrance of Jiuding Bank. It''s just that these people are not messy, but are waiting in line very honestly. The reason why these people can be restrained is the dozens of sturdy men who uniformly dress in black. These are the elite bodyguards of Aegis security. After Xia Yu asked the driver to park the car, he wore sunglasses and, surrounded by bodyguards, led Li Qian into the bank through the special staff passage of Jiuding Bank. "Hello, Chairman!" "Chairman, good morning!" As soon as he entered, Xia Yu saw that many employees were preparing for their positions. Faced with the greetings from these employees, Xia Yu kept nodding his head. "Ah, A Yu, is this all... money?" When Xia Yu brought Li Qian to the lobby and saw a huge iron cage in the center of the lobby and the three-meter-high Qianshan mountain in the glass cabinet, Li Qian couldn''t help but marvel, her eyes widened and she looked very cute. . Li Qian''s exclamation attracted Liu Tianci''s attention next to the iron cage. After seeing Xia Yu, he walked towards Xia Yu quickly. "Chairman, good morning." After greeting Xia Yu, Liu Tianci nodded kindly to Li Qian. "It looks good." Xia Yu said with a faint smile, and then said to Li Qian, "Cici, there are 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Haven''t you seen so much money? Come to see me." After speaking, Xia Yu took Li Qian straight to the "iron cage money mountain" guarded by bodyguards. As he approached, Xia Yu looked up at the "Qianshan" in front of him, and couldn''t help feeling. The visual impact of this "money mountain" is indeed strong. In a tempered glass cabinet with a length of more than three meters each, it is neatly filled with money, a full billion Hong Kong dollars! Although he has assets of tens of billions of dollars, the equivalent of Hong Kong dollars has exceeded 100 billion. But that was just a cold number on paper. On the contrary, it was not as good as the one billion Hong Kong dollar cash that could cause his inner fluctuations. In Xia Yu''s mentality, this is the case, not to mention Li Qian and the employees around him. Xia Yu clearly felt that the breathing of the security guards next to him was heavy, and his heart was obviously not calm. Just when Xia Yu and others were observing the "Qianshan" in the bank. Outside the door, as time continued to approach the bank''s working hours, the people in line were a little restless. The two in the front of the line are two nephews, an old man in his fifties and a young man in his twenties. The two uncles and nephews came to the gate of Jiuding Bank to wait since three o''clock, so they were able to queue. To the front. The young man''s name was Liu Wei. He glanced at the expressionless black-clothed brawny on both sides. He felt a little hairy in his heart. He approached his second uncle Liu Dashan and asked in a low voice, "Second uncle, what''s the situation now? Yesterday I haven¡¯t heard anyone say that there are so many bodyguards at the gate of Jiuding Bank, and it¡¯s too late to open the door. Is there something wrong with it, because I am afraid that people will make trouble, so I have invited so many bodyguards here?" Hearing what his nephew said, Liu Dashan, who is not highly educated, has been holding his right hand in his pocket and subconsciously grabbing his bank card. He answered his nephew''s questions babblingly, and seemed to comfort himself: "Weizi, Jiuding Bank is the bank of the stock god, and the stock **** is the **** of wealth in Xiangjiang, so there must be no problem." He said that, in fact, Liu Dashan was also a little uneasy. He saved all the money he had accumulated for half his life in Jiuding Bank for the high interest rate of Jiuding Bank last year. The question is, how should he live the rest of his life... Liu Wei saw his second uncle''s anxiety, and he realized that he scared his second uncle. He pursed his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Second Uncle, don''t worry, we will rush in as soon as the next door opens. We can definitely get the money out. If there is no problem with Jiuding Bank, we will follow us. It''s ok." Liu Dashan nodded in agreement, muttering: "Why haven''t the door opened yet..." Before Liu Dashan finished complaining, he noticed that the gate five meters away was slowly opening. It''s just that the fence in front of him hasn''t opened yet, so he can''t rush even if he wants to. "Everyone pays attention to order, and for everyone''s safety, everyone should not run." Just after the gate was completely opened, the bodyguard in front of him shouted, and then unlocked the fence. Liu Dashan and his nephew Liu Wei walked quickly to the lobby of Jiuding Bank. Only a few meters after they walked into the lobby, they were attracted by a tall "building" in the center of the lobby. The sharp-eyed Liu Wei found that the glass cabinet seemed to be filled with money. He swallowed, his palms gripped Liu Dashan''s wrist tightly, and his voice tremblingly said: "Second uncle, in the cabinet in front It seems to be all money." Of course, Liu Dashan, who kept walking inside, also saw the tall iron cages and glass cabinets guarded by bodyguards. "It''s really money, like a hill, my goodness!" Liu Dashan said in shock. Having said this, they had already arrived in front of the glass cabinet. Liu Dashan wanted to go straight to the counter to withdraw money, but looking at the money in the glass cabinet before him, his eyes were about to protrude, and the soles of his feet were like rooting. I can''t move. "Second Uncle, it''s really all money, a lot of money!" Liu Wei could see clearly this time, the glass cabinet was full of hundred yuan in cash, piled up taller than the two of him, and it was long and wide, he couldn''t help exclaiming. At this time, he noticed a sign on the front with a series of numbers "1,000,000,000 yuan" written on it. He counted it subconsciously: "One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one hundred million... one billion?!!!" At the end of the word "billion", his voice has become very sharp and harsh, and his heart is obviously shocked to the limit. "Second Uncle, there are one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash! There is so much!" At this time, the citizens who followed Liu Dashan and Liu Wei also came to the glass cabinet. Seeing the mountain of hundred-yuan bills in the glass cabinet, everyone was shocked. Some people''s eyes became blood red in a short time. "A lot of money!" "Jinshan is like this, right?" "My God I have never seen so much money in my life!" "..." Talking, screaming one after another, everyone was shocked by this "money mountain". After seeing that the bodyguards did not prevent them from observing from a close distance, some people hurried forward and looked at the piles of hundred-dollar bills clearly visible in the glass cabinet covered by the iron cage, breathing more and more rapidly. After being shocked by some reporters who had been notified, they immediately raised their cameras in excitement and pressed the shutter frantically. The film was like no money. At this moment, the sound system that used to play soothing music in the lobby suddenly appeared with a thick male voice, attracting the attention of crazy people. "Distinguished guests, I am Liu Tianci, Chairman and President of Jiuding Bank. What everyone sees in the center of the lobby is a total of one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. I just want to tell you that Jiuding Bank ranks first in strength. In our treasury, there are still more than 10 billion in cash stored. All other banks in Xiangjiang go bankrupt, and Jiuding Bank will not go bankrupt. We have the strength to welcome customers who come to our bank for business. Now the situation in Xiangjiang is tense, I understand For your concerns, I don¡¯t advise you. I just want to state the attitude of our bank." "We don''t block any customer withdrawals, and thank customers who believe in us. The level of interest income is completely up to you. I just hope you don''t regret it!" After listening to the speaker, the crowd in the lobby looked at each other, and then looked at the mountain of money in front of them, and many people looked struggling. Liu Weila pulled his second uncle Liu Dashan and asked hesitantly: "Second uncle, do we still take this money?" PS: The second one will be sent, please refer to the monthly ticket, thank you! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1045: shock the world Liu Dashan swallowed, moving his gaze away from the "Qianshan" in front of him with difficulty, looked at the sparse withdrawal crowd in front of the counter, and took his nephew Liu Wei to the counter: "Weizi, let''s ask the interest first. What''s the difference." Of course Liu Wei had no objection. He immediately followed his second uncle Liu Dashan to the counter and found a window with the least number of people to wait in line. After waiting for a while, it was finally Liu Dashan''s turn. "Hello, what business do you need to handle?" The young and beautiful teller asked Liu Dashan politely in a soft tone. Liu Wei, who was behind Liu Dashan, looked straight and rushed to say: "Hello miss, help my second uncle to see, what is his regular interest when his money is fully deposited, and what is the interest he has withdrawn immediately? " Liu Dashan said hurriedly: "That''s what I mean." The beautiful teller smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, please give me your bank card and ID card. You can sit down and wait a while." After speaking, the beauty teller immediately brought the bank card and ID card to start the inquiry, then picked up the calculator to quickly calculate, recorded the data on the paper, and then read it to Liu Dashan. "You deposited 30,000 Hong Kong dollars in our bank on June 1st last year for five years of fixed deposit. The agreement signed at that time was lump sum deposit, and the five-year fixed deposit interest rate was 8.12%. If you After the deposit is full, the amount of interest you can get is 12,180 Hong Kong dollars." "Our bank''s current interest rate is 2.21%. You have deposited for 425 days. If you withdraw it now, you can only calculate it based on the current interest. The amount of the current interest is 771.98. Hong Kong dollars.¡± (Actually, the interest rate was really high at that time. The highest demand in 1982 was 2.88%, and the highest demand in 1996 was 2.97%, which is like zero% now. Point 35 current) "Do you plan to take it out now or continue to store it regularly?" Liu Dashan hasn''t read any books, but at least the size relationship can still be understood. The gap between continuing to deposit until maturity and cash withdrawal is as high as more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars! In addition to supporting his family, he has only saved 30,000 yuan until he is more than 50 years old. If he is allowed to make it on his own, when will he earn more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars? And when he handed the money to the bank, he could get more than 10,000 yuan in more than three years. He is nothing more than assuming the possible bankruptcy risk of Jiuding Bank. Bankruptcy? Thinking of this, Liu Dashan subconsciously looked at the "Qianshan" surrounded by crowds in the middle of the lobby. I also thought of the over 10 billion cash in the Jiuding Bank vault that Liu Tianci said in the audio just now. Will Jiuding Bank really go bankrupt? After struggling in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "I won''t take it anymore, continue to save it." "Okay, thank you for your support and trust in our bank, and wish you a happy family!" The smile on the beauty teller''s face became brighter, she said and immediately returned the bank card and ID card to Liu Dashan. Liu Dashan picked up the bank card number and ID card and immediately put it in his pocket, then got off his seat and looked at his nephew Liu Wei. "Weizi, do you want to withdraw money?" Liu Wei shook his head suddenly and said, "Second Uncle, I won''t take it anymore." The people who lined up behind Liu Dashan and Liu Wei to withdraw money saw this scene with their own eyes and were also affected. Some people simply left the line and did not plan to withdraw money. Most of those who continued to line up just wanted to know their fixed deposit interest. And what is the amount of demand interest. This morning, the lobby of Jiuding Bank¡¯s headquarters was overcrowded, but almost all people who came to see the "Qianshan" after hearing the news, very few really wanted to withdraw money. Some staff at the counter were idle watching the excitement, and from time to time they lamented that the chairman and the president are too clever. The head office resolved the rush and the people who originally planned to withdraw basically went home, but the other branches were still busy. However, the run on other branches was eliminated in the afternoon. Just because at noon, Global Satellite TV''s "Noon News" focused on this unprecedented "feat" of Jiuding Bank in the world. "Noon News" also reported an interview with Liu Tianci, president of Jiuding Bank. Liu Tianci confidently said some "mad" words. Jiuding Bank is rich in wealth, not afraid of runs, and not begging for deposits from depositors, imprinted in the minds of every viewer who watched the news. The whole Xiangjiang was shaking! Many people across Southeast Asia covered by Jiuding Satellite TV were shocked by this. This time, the "feat" that shocked the world gave Jiuding Bank a powerful advertisement, which led to the explosive growth of Jiuding Bank''s various businesses in Southeast Asia. Of course, this is a story. At present, the major banks in Hong Kong are shocked and extremely envious of Jiuding Bank¡¯s financial resources. Many bank executives have voted for Liu Tianci. The purpose is self-evident, and that Jiuding Bank can help them through. This storm. In the afternoon, except for the headquarters of Jiuding Bank, which was almost overwhelmed by people who wanted to see the world, the long queues at the gates of other branches and subordinate banks such as Daoheng Bank, Ka Wah Bank and Hang Lung Bank disappeared. The banks in the run-up crisis formed a sharp contrast. What made those banks even more angry was that after some citizens had withdrawn money from their banks, they immediately ran into Jiuding Bank to deposit money. This scene is too heartbreaking... Other big banks, such as HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia, and Heung Kong Bank of China, wanted to follow suit immediately, but found reluctantly that they either did not have so much cash or needed a certain amount of time to mobilize funds. On the contrary, after Gals Liddell of Standard Chartered Bank had a phone call with Liu Tianci, he immediately asked Xia Yu for instructions and did the same and received Xia Yu''s approval and support. On Monday morning, news related to Jiuding Bank¡¯s "billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash piled up like a mountain" dominated the headlines of almost all newspapers, and newspapers owned by Jiuding Newspapers took the opportunity to flatter Jiuding Bank. Seeing this situation, Xia Yu also laughed at Liu Tianci and said that this time will be the beginning of Jiuding Bank officially surpassing HSBC to become the leader of Xiangjiang Bank! Liu Tianci is even more convinced that Jiuding Bank is not listed, otherwise, even if the stock market crash breaks out, Jiuding Bank''s stock price can rise against the market. ... The grand occasion of Jiuding Bank is just out-of-the-ordinary. Other banks are still in the midst of an increasingly fierce run. Not to mention the stock market. The two-day closing on Saturday and Sunday did not bring the stock market a respite. Instead, it was announced by the police. The latest developments of the Carrian Group have made investors more pessimistic. With the opening of the stock market at 10 o''clock in the morning, the Hang Seng Index market once again started a slumping pattern. The three companies that fell the hardest were Carrian Real Estate, Vinda Shipping and Qichang Life Insurance. Xia Yu''s attention was only slightly focused on the Carning Group, which was already unable to escape. He was more concerned about the Swire Consortium. Looking at the skyrocketing trading volume and slowly falling stock prices of companies such as Swire Group, Swire Shipping and Swire Warehouse, Xia Yu couldn''t help but sneer. Shi Yahuai''s family was still struggling to death, clutching the small tree on the edge of the cliff and trying to climb up. But regardless of whether the Shi Yahuai family caught grass or trees on the edge of the cliff, anyway, this week, he made up his mind to pull weeds and trees to cut trees. No matter what, the Shi Yahuai family and the Swire Consortium must be completely plunged into the abyss! PS: The first update will be sent, there will be additional updates today, I wish you all a good Dragon Boat Festival! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1046: The final struggle of the Swire Consortium "Chairman, something is wrong. Our stock repurchase measures seem to have failed to reassure investors, and there are still a steady stream of selling orders." "The funds are consumed too fast!" Swire Financial Corporation watched more than an hour after the opening of the market, and the speed of selling orders continued to decrease. Cedric Quincy was at a loss, and Good and Evil reported the situation to Norman Shiyahuai seriously. Although the chairman of the board of directors has brought in 350 million Hong Kong dollars from London in the past two days on Saturday and Sunday, he still cannot make him feel at ease. After all, as of last Friday when the market was closed, the funds in Swire Financial¡¯s account had fallen from more than 700 million to more than 280 million. Even if we add the 350 million Hong Kong dollars borrowed over the weekend and the 210 million Hong Kong dollars raised by related companies for equity repurchase, Swire Financial¡¯s total account funds were only 800 million before the market opened today. More than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. However, in just over an hour, more than 90 million funds were consumed. According to his analysis, this consumption rate is considered to be slow. There should be two reasons. One is that the retail investors entrust securities to place orders at a slower rate. The other reason is that he does not want to face it, that is, he may still hold shares. Institutions have a tacit understanding that they are afraid that Swire Financial will not be able to digest the large one-time low-price orders, and the sharp drop in the stock price will cause more serious damage to its interests. After hearing Cedric Quincy¡¯s report, Norman Shiyahuai quickly asked the relevant details. The former unreservedly told the real situation and his own guesses. After Norman Shi Yahuai listened, his brows were frowned into the word Sichuan, and his face was full of heavy colors. "According to your judgment and analysis, how many days can the remaining more than 750 million Hong Kong dollars be supported?" For a long time, Norman Shiyahuai asked his most concerned question. Cedric Quincy thought about it seriously, and said in a heavy tone: "If the current situation does not ease, the best case is to consume all funds on Wednesday." "The most conservative estimate is that the funds will bottom out tomorrow." Norman Shi Yahuai''s face was as dark as pot stickers, and his mouth squirmed silently. Seeing that the chairman hadn¡¯t spoken for a long time, Cedric Quincy hesitated for a moment and added again: ¡°Chairman, unless you can spend at least 3 billion Hong Kong dollars later, or reverse investors¡¯ impression of Swire Group in one fell swoop, otherwise. Now this situation is difficult to alleviate." Three billion Hong Kong dollars! It''s easy to talk about it, but it''s really difficult to raise so much money! Norman Shiyahuai''s eldest son borrowed a total of 750 million Hong Kong dollars in London twice, and he still took a mortgage loan of 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of assets from the British parent company. Cedric Quincy did not know the situation, but Norman Shiyahuai knew very well that the debt ratio of the British parent company was already higher than that of the Hong Kong branch. Now he wants to borrow another 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. may! Unless a bank or friend is willing to borrow money! "There is no need to mention three billion Hong Kong dollars. You still think of a way to see how you can reverse the current situation?" Hearing Norman Shiyahuai''s deep voice, Cedric Quincy''s heart sank, and his expression became more bitter. These days, he held meetings every night to brainstorm ideas. If he could figure it out, he would have thought it out. Why wait until now? But if I can''t think of it directly, I might attract the anger of the irritable chairman to myself. Hearing the noise coming from downstairs, his expression moved slightly, and he said to Norman Shi Yahuai with a bitter face: "Chairman, now investors who claim back their investment funds are blocking the door of our company every day. We have been delaying time. The patience of investors has been exhausted. I heard that some investors are ready to solve the problem through legal channels. If this problem is not solved, no matter what we think of, we will not be able to strengthen the confidence of stockholders." "Furthermore, investors'' funds are basically used by us to buy shares of companies such as the Swire Group. Once our funds are exhausted and we cannot repay investors'' funds, our financial company will also go bankrupt." Norman Shi Yahuai''s breathing became more and more rapid, only feeling the mess in his mind, and he couldn''t calm down and think about the solution. He was on the verge of collapse. With his heart fluctuating violently, his temper became irritable, and he shouted to Cedric Quincy, "Cedric, Jiuding Bank can solve similar problems, you quickly call up your subordinates to come up with an effective way, no matter who wants it. If it comes out, as long as the problem of investors claiming back investment funds is solved, 10 million will be rewarded!" "As long as the stock prices of these companies can be stabilized, the method proposer will reward 10 million! The operation team will reward 10 million!" Cedric Quincy, who was still somewhat emotional, was also taken aback when he heard this number, but since the chairman has come up with such a big hand, what excuse can he make? I can only pray that someone can take these thirty million away. He nodded his head and said, "Chairman, I will convene people to find a way right away." "Remember, it must be kept secret and cannot be disclosed. Whoever dares to disclose, I will make him pay an unbearable price!" "Go!" After driving away Cedric Quincy, Norman Shiyahuai''s frowning brows did not stretch He also didn''t know whether the 30 million reward would work... If Xia Yu knew Norman Shi Yahuai''s thoughts, he would definitely be tempted to laugh. If his elaborate plan against the Taikoo Consortium is so easy to crack, he would still be a fool! Even the Taikoo consortium can''t clean up, so what is the need to fight those truly world-wide consortiums in the future? ... When the market was closed at noon, the Hang Seng Index was frozen at 968 points and dropped by 119 points in the morning. The rate of decline has dropped considerably. But this is also normal. After all, it has plummeted more than half from the highest peak. If it continues to plummet by more than 400 points a day, it will fall to zero on Wednesday morning. But the Hang Seng Index is absolutely impossible to fall to zero. According to the analysis of the team of Jiuding Securities, the downward trend of the Hang Seng Index will slow down this afternoon. At the latest next week, the Hang Seng Index is expected to fall to a trough of 650 points and then fall into volatility. In this regard, Xia Yu agreed. After all, when the Hang Seng Index fell to about 650, the stock prices of most Hong Kong stock companies would have no water, which would trigger the bottom line of shareholders of financial institutions and listed companies. Hold this line. Although a Swire consortium and a Carrian group are large in size, they can have a huge impact on the stock market; the bank run is also very destructive; the future of Hong Kong is also very important. It can severely damage the Hong Kong stock market, but they are not enough to completely destroy the Hong Kong stock market. stock market. At noon, just as Xia Yu had just finished eating and the nanny cleaned the table, Xia Jun came to Xia Yu''s home. PS: The second update will be sent, there will be an update tonight, the specific time is uncertain, please recommend a monthly pass https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1047: Countdown to the collapse of Carrian Group "The army boy is here, hey, what kind of fruit does this bring, what is your family doing so politely?" "have you eaten?" Seeing Xia Jun coming in with the fruit, Xia Mu immediately greeted him with a warm smile. Although the words contained blame, she was not really to blame, but rather close. "Auntie, I have already had lunch, and I didn''t know what to bring on the way here, so I bought some fruit on the way, not worth a lot of money." Xia Jun said with a smile, trying to put the fruit on the table, but Xia Mu Chen Mei took it from him. "Junior, sit down and drink tea after dinner." Father Xia also said to Xia Jun kindly. "Brother Jun, sit down!" Xia Yu laughed softly and greeted Xia Jun to sit down on the sofa next to him. Seeing Father Xia pour him tea, he quickly reached out and wanted to come by himself, "Uncle, I will come by myself." Father Xia pushed his hand away and said unhappily, "You are a guest. How can you pour tea? Make it right." Xia Jun sat down again with a wry expression. Xia Yu on the side could not help but chuckle. "By the way, Junzi, I heard your mother said that you were promoted again last month. Have you been promoted to police inspector? You are still the youngest police inspector in Xiangjiang, right?" Xia Mu brought another plate of fruit on the tea table, and asked Xia Jun curiously. "What a police inspector, it''s an inspector, don''t make a mistake." Father Xia suddenly pointed out the right way. Mother Xia gave Father Xia a glance. Father Xia pretended not to see him. He drank tea on his own and looked at Xia Jun from time to time. He was also curious about Xia Jun''s situation. Xia Jun immediately replied modestly, "Aunty, A Yu helped me if I can become an inspector, otherwise I am still a little police officer." "The key to returning from the Ayu gang is to look at yourself. You were born to be a policeman. In our entire village, you were the first policeman." Father Xia said with a smile. Xia Yu also chuckled and said, "Brother Jun, this is inseparable from your own efforts and abilities." "It took Li Junxia twelve years to be promoted from a police officer to a superintendent. His speed can only be regarded as above average. I think you can take half the time." "By then, you will no longer be in charge of a small team. Now you have to take the role to train your abilities in advance. I think you are born to be a policeman, so it must be fine." Xia Jun nodded obediently and said with a smile, "A Yu, as long as you say I do, I will definitely not ashamed you." Although Xia Jun had a smile on his face, the pressure in his heart increased sharply, and he secretly determined to continue to strengthen his ability to build after returning. He is now 22 years old and has only been a police officer for three years and eight months, but he has already risen five levels from a police officer. There are two levels of senior inspector and chief inspector between the inspector and the superintendent. If you really want him to be superintendent for six years according to Xia Yu''s words, then it must be a jump every year. Next year, he will be promoted to senior inspector, the next year he will be promoted to chief inspector, and he will be promoted to superintendent again in 1984. Following this pace, it would take more than six years to go from a police officer to a superintendent. At that time, he was only twenty-four years old, and his age could definitely surprise people. However, don''t think about how high the superintendent of Xiangjiang is. In fact, the superintendent of Xiangjiang is equivalent to the deputy chief of a county police station in mainland China. The current Xia Jun ranks on the mainland, which is equivalent to a deputy squadron commander or police station chief. At the age of twenty-four, he has been working for more than six years, and he came from a political family with a political line plan. There are many people in the deputy office, and there are not no people at the current level. That is to say, Xia Jun''s starting point was low, starting from the police officers at the lowest level. When he started, Xia Yu had just started, and he couldn''t help it. Fortunately, Xia Yu''s rise was very fast, so he was able to plan his promotion route and pave the way. According to Xia Yu¡¯s plan, now Xia Jun is indeed a little younger, and he can stay for a few more years. When he reaches the age of twenty or over thirty, his age will not be a shortcoming. When the time comes, he will be pushed. Senior Assistant Commissioner or even Deputy Commissioner of Police will do. As long as his ability is not bad, it is completely ok to push him to the police station in his forties or early forties. Of course, Xia Yu never told Xia Jun about the latter plans. ... After chatting for a while, Xia''s father and Xia''s mother knew that Xia Yu and Xia Jun had something to discuss, so they left the room and gave the living room to Xia Yu and Xia Jun. Seeing that there were only Xia Yu and himself in the living room, and it was not too early, Xia Jun immediately started talking about business. "A Yu, this time it was mainly Li Junxia who asked me to come over and tell you Chen Qingsong''s situation." "After Ibaraki¡¯s confession list, all the executives of Yumin Finance were under control, and the evidence was relatively sufficient. In front of the evidence, the executives of Yumin Finance had no resistance. Their homes were also seized and a lot of them were found. The stolen property involved, now the key lies in Chen Qingsong." "Chen Qingsong should have thought that there would be such a day a long time ago, so he previewed it in advance. He is very cunning now. He has pleaded guilty to some minor crimes, but he has been very hard-talking about the key crimes, and his lawyers have also started. Great effect." "Actually, the evidence that the police station has had is enough to convict Chen Qingsong, but there are still some facts that have not been investigated clearly. If Chen Qingsong will take the initiative to confess and we continue to handle it day and night, then the case will advance very quickly. " "But according to the current situation, it may take more than half a month to fully investigate. This is still a relatively optimistic judgment." "If you close it according to the facts ascertained now, it will be enough to convict him, but his crime is not so serious, there may be some hidden dangers, and there may be some other effects." "So Li Junxia asked me to come over and ask what you mean." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a chuckle, "He is able to lay down such a large family business, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his anti-reconnaissance awareness is normal." "He must be found out if he committed a crime, but at least half a month is too late." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused for a moment and said with a light smile "It just happened that I got something, and the current situation just happened to come in handy." "Well, in the afternoon, before you go to work, I will ask someone to bring you something, and then you will give it to Li Junxia alone, let him find a suitable opportunity to arrange someone to give it to Chen Qingsong, and you will do a lot of work in the future. The opportunity is immediately concluded, time is very important." Knowing that Xia Yu has a back hand, Xia Jun breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed smile. He didn''t ask what it was, and nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely hand it over to him. " ... The two brothers chatted for a while, and Xia Jun said goodbye. Xia Yu didn''t keep him, but sent him out after a few words. After Xia Jun left, Xia Yu immediately dialed Ma Qianjun using a satellite phone, asking him to send someone to send some belongings of Chen Qingsong''s nephew and family, as well as letters written by Chen Qingsong''s wife and nephew, to Xia Jun''s hands. That''s right, Chen Qingsong arranged for his nephew Chen Feng to abscond with his family, but he didn''t know that his family and Chen Feng were being monitored in real time. Chen Feng and others were secretly taken away by the snares before they boarded the boat. They were delicious and delicious. Confessed. Since the Carrian Group has become Xia Yu''s knife against the Taikoo consortium and the financial system, he will of course ensure that it will be sharp until it runs out, and it will not be dull at a critical moment! Chen Qingsong''s mouth is hard now, and his family''s stuff and letters are enough to pry open his mouth and let him confess his guilt. Sure enough, when Chen Qingsong saw the personal belongings of his wife and children, and the letters written by his wife and nephew in the afternoon, the line of defense he insisted on collapsed. The police department immediately seized the opportunity to break through him. Chen Qingsong, who had no choice but to plead guilty honestly, and took the initiative to confess the account details. The case progressed quite quickly. On Tuesday afternoon, the Hong Kong Police Force handed over the prosecution opinion and the case to the Hong Kong Legal Department. The Legal Department filed a lawsuit against Chen Qingsong and Yumin Finance-related persons involved in the Hong Kong High Court. As soon as the news came to light, everyone lamented the efficiency of the Hong Kong Police Force this time, and also clearly realized that the process of the Carrian Group¡¯s bankruptcy was greatly accelerated. As long as the Department of Justice of Hong Kong and the High Court of Hong Kong can maintain their efficiency, then the Carrian Group will be able to come to light within this month. s The third update is sent, ask for a recommended monthly pass v3 Chapter 1048: Norman Shiyahuai fell On Wednesday morning, after the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in Central on Hong Kong Island opened, the pile of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the center of the lobby shocked all depositors who were preparing to withdraw. With the jade of Jiuding Bank in the front, Standard Chartered Bank is the second to follow suit, showing its strength with one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Of course, the effect is beyond doubt. Depositors who came to prepare for withdrawal are basically relieved and give up withdrawing. And through their mouths, the news that Standard Chartered Bank used one billion in cash to prove its strength spread quickly throughout Hong Kong. A large number of melon-eaters and bank depositors rushed to Central on Hong Kong Island to witness the strength of Standard Chartered Bank. Just as the twin beads of Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank were shining, another sign of banking occurred. 9:18 am. A bank officially announced that it had run out of funds and declared bankruptcy. The bank is called Tianyu Bank. It is a small bank that obtained a banking license and was established in 1979. It has only three branches and its total assets are only more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars. In order to develop by leaps and bounds, Tianyu Bank came to the thigh of the Carrian Group, and depositors¡¯ funds were basically lent to companies under the Carrian Group. Originally, Tianyu Bank¡¯s chairman Wang Yiqing was still struggling to borrow funds for support, but yesterday afternoon, after the news that the Hong Kong Police Department handed over the case of the Guardian Group to the Legal Department, Wang Yiqing immediately asked a friend of the police department for details. . After learning that the Caring Group and Chen Qingsong were really involved in huge economic frauds and that the Caring Group was 95% likely to be insolvent, Wang Yiqing was completely desperate in wailing. When registering Tianyu Bank, he also brought a few friends to join the partnership. The registered capital is 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He paid 3 million Hong Kong dollars to occupy 30% of the shares, with the most equity, and served as the chairman. Last night, he called his partners to meet, and after discussions, everyone agreed to let Tianyu Bank file for bankruptcy. If they do not declare bankruptcy, after losing 10 million Hong Kong dollars of their registered capital, there will still be a loss of nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars with the Carrian Group that they need to fill. When the stock market crash is approaching, they desperately cannot make up the money. Anyway, the remaining money is basically taken away by the depositors. Rather than dragging down and dragging myself and others into the abyss, if I cut a little bit and file for bankruptcy and liquidation, the loss can be greatly reduced. When the general manager of Yu Bank stood up and announced that the bank was bankrupt and ceased all business, the crowd of depositors waiting to withdraw money in Tian Yu Bank immediately rioted. The general manager who was introduced by Wang Yiqing and others was beaten into a pig head. After Wang Yiqing called the police office in advance, the police arrived in a timely manner and temporarily stabilized the situation. However, his becoming a pig can not prevent the spread of the bad influence of the bankruptcy of Tianyu Bank. Everyone has relatives and friends. After the depositors of Tianyu Bank rushed to call their relatives and friends to inform their relatives and friends of the situation, many people became anxious. Some people skipped work and rushed to the depositing bank with their ID cards and bank cards. When the bankers learned that Tianyu Bank had filed for bankruptcy, they were all horrified. They immediately realized a little bit. With the bankruptcy of Tianyu Bank, the banking run crisis has officially escalated! Except for Jiuding Bank, which has already demonstrated its strength and its wholly-owned subsidiary banks, as well as Standard Chartered Bank, all other banks have to face greater pressure! Of course, there are also some small banks like Tianyu Bank that have been mistreated by the Carrian Group. After Tianyu Bank took the lead, the shareholders or persons in charge of these banks called Wang Yiqing and others. They are also ready to learn to lose their baggage... ... Affected by the groundbreaking progress of Carrian Group and the negative impact of Tianyu Bank¡¯s declaration of bankruptcy, investors who had gradually calmed down panic again. After the stock market opened, the Hang Seng Index plummeted from 779 points. The share price of Carrian Real Estate Co., Ltd., whose market value has fallen to HKD 870 million, plummeted again. Although the properties and affiliated companies of Carrian Real Estate Company are very large, the value must be far more than 470 million Hong Kong dollars, but the stock market is still flooded by no one. Some companies¡¯ stocks are worth buying bottoms, and some companies¡¯ stocks are not worth buying bottoms. Carrian Real Estate''s stock is undoubtedly the latter. After all, the assets of Carrian Real Estate are huge, but the debts are likely to be larger than the existing assets! As long as you take over Carrian Real Estate, you must accept the debts from it at the same time. Now no big man dares to take this risk. Not to mention that the market value of Carrian Real Estate is still more than 470 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if they are allowed to take over at the price of one Hong Kong dollar, they must have the courage to take it! If you really have the strength and interest to take over, you will have to wait for the Xiangjiang High Court to liquidate its assets before taking over the assets you are interested in. Wait until 11:08 in the morning. Union Bank, which is held by Carrian Group, announced that its capital chain had broken and filed for bankruptcy protection. Less than two hours after Tianyu Bank declared bankruptcy, another bank went bankrupt! Panic was further fermented, and the run crisis rose again. The bank that has not fallen has already lost patience and confidence. In particular, banks that provide financial leverage to securities companies and fund companies will force their positions to be liquidated directly if their holdings reach the liquidation line. Those that do not reach the liquidation line also force relevant investment companies to return their funds as soon as possible. The pressure on securities companies and fund companies has increased sharply, increasing the intensity of stock sell-offs, trying to liquidate their positions and collect money. Among them are the stocks of companies such as Swire Group and Swire Shipping, which have extremely high P/E ratios in the entire stock market. A large number of sell orders were thrown out, and Swire Financial was caught off guard, and the buy orders that had been placed were instantly hedged. The speed of continuing to place buy orders is not as fast as the speed of selling orders. The stock prices of a number of companies began to fall rapidly. Swire Financial Corporation. Cedric Quincy''s anxious voice sounded in Norman Shiyahuai''s ear: "Chairman, the funds are in a hurry. It has fallen below 100 million Hong Kong dollars." "The company''s stock price is still falling." "There are too many selling orders. Even if all the 100 million Hong Kong dollars are sold out, they will be emptied in a minute at most!" Norman Shiyahuai pushed Cedric Quincy away and looked pale when he saw the dense array of selling orders on the electronic disk and the declining stock price. This time is really over! Cedric Quincy is right. Throwing 100 million Hong Kong dollars into the stock market will cost it a splash. The selling by other institutions and stockholders has already formed a flood. There is no other way except to put in 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to fully take over the order! "There are 80 million funds left!" "Stop it!" Hearing the statistical data, Norman Shiyahuai said three words to Cedric Quincy in a soft voice. After speaking, his whole body seemed to be exhausted, and he wanted to collapse, Cedric Quincy. Xi Li immediately helped him. At the same time he shouted and ordered everyone: "Stop buying immediately." All the traders immediately stopped their actions, and everyone looked ugly as the stock price that had lost the last block fell unimpeded. ... In the securities investment department of HSBC. Seeing that the stock prices of Swire Group and other companies began to plummet, the manager of the investment department urgently reported to Shen Bi, worrying that Shen Bi went directly to the securities department. Seeing that there was no purchase order for three seconds, Lin Changlong, the manager of the securities investment department, changed his face and immediately said to Shen Bi: "Chairman, Swire Financial has retired ~ www.novelhall.com~ There is no hope." "Look at the stock price of Swire Group." Following Lin Changlong''s fingers, Shen Bi saw a number beating continuously. Fifteen twenty seven Fourteen o''clock Fourteen six six ... 13:33! When the stock price fell to 13.33 Hong Kong dollars per share in two minutes, the market value of Swire Holdings fell to 6 billion Hong Kong dollars. Lin Changlong said immediately: "Chairman, the stock price has fallen below the warning line!" Shen Bi''s face changed and he closed his eyes and sighed. After a while, Shen Bi opened his eyes again, and his eyes became cold and merciless. He ordered Lin Changlong: "You go and inform Norman Shi Yahuai to make up the security deposit or collateral according to the loan agreement, otherwise all the pledged stocks will be ours. deal with." "He has been at Swire Financial Corporation these days, you can go there directly to find him, and ask him face to face!" Lin Changlong replied decisively: "Yes!" Ten minutes later. Lin Changlong met Norman Shi Yahuai at Swire Financial, not far from the securities investment department of HSBC. Norman Shi Yahuai, who also knew that the stock price had fallen below the warning line, saw Lin Changlong and heard his confession. After being exhausted to the limit, he could no longer support him and passed out. Fifteen minutes later. The ambulance came to Swire Financial, and the doctors and nurses brought Norman Shiyahuai, who had not yet woken up, with a stretcher. Investors who were besieged at the entrance of Swire Financial Corporation to obtain investment funds saw that Norman Shiyahuai had fallen, and were completely panicked and frantically blocked Cedric Quincy from letting him go. Central on Hong Kong Island was originally a gathering place for financial institutions. What happened at Swire Financial Corporation spread across the entire capital market in an instant... ps: The first one will be delivered, please refer to the monthly ticket, thank you! v3 Chapter 1049: Xia Yu knifed the exchange Genius remembers this site address in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads! "Norman Shiyahuai went to the hospital?" Hearing the breaking news from Wang Qi, Xia Yu looked inexplicable, and the news surprised him. "I heard that the company¡¯s stock price plummeted and triggered the HSBC mortgage cordon. Norman Shiyahuai could not bear the blow. He passed out at Swire Financial. Many employees of Swire Financial witnessed him being taken away on a stretcher. ." "The specific situation is still being confirmed." "But I guess the news won''t be false." "Because of this negative news, the stock prices of Swire Group and other companies have plummeted." Wang Qi replied solemnly. Xia Yu chuckled and said: "Norman Shi Yahuai fainted at an untimely time. He gave himself a knife. Even if he wakes up and knows the situation, he doesn''t know whether he can withstand the blow or faint again... " Wang Qi couldn''t help but smiled and said, "It''s hard to tell. If he wakes up late, the situation of Swire Group will be more serious, and he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand a more severe blow." Xia Yu smiled, and didn''t worry about Norman Shi Yahuai anymore. He looked at him and said to Wang Qi: "Originally, it was conservatively estimated that the Hang Seng Index would fall to about six hundred and fifty points at the latest next week, but today we got the bankruptcy and Norman Shiyahuai''s two assists. This week it will definitely fall to six hundred and fifty points, and the trough is likely to be even lower." "Neither the Swire Consortium nor the Carrian Group can turn around, so we have to be prepared to buy the bottom." Wang Qi emphasized his head and replied: "Okay, I will sort out the preparation work again to make sure nothing is lost." "Ok!" ... Norman Shiyahuai was the soul of the Swire Consortium, and his fall was a devastating blow to the Swire Consortium. Xia Yu will not be merciful because Norman Shi Yahuai has not awakened. Under his instructions, in the afternoon, the detailed debt situation of the Swire Group and the Shi Yahuai family was circulated, and news of the insolvency of the Swire Group was also widely circulated in the city. Norman Shiyahuai did not wake up until the stock market closed that afternoon. But the market value of the Swire Group has fallen to 2.86 billion Hong Kong dollars. The market value of Swire Godown was closed at 700 million and more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Swire Shipping¡¯s market value closed at more than 920 million Hong Kong dollars. As for Swire Industrial Group, since Jiuding Securities did not try to raise money anymore, Song Bo also received Xia Yu''s notice not to interfere too much, so the market value fell to more than 1.34 billion Hong Kong dollars. Rao is that the market value of these companies has fallen to such an extent that they are still a handful of higher P/E ratios in the entire stock market. Calculating carefully, the market value of Swire Group has only shrunk by about six tiers compared with the market value when the Hang Seng Index was more than 1,800 points. Companies such as Swire Warehouse have lost less than half of their market value. When the stock market closed on Wednesday afternoon, the Hang Seng Index had fallen to a trough of 662 points, which was nearly two-thirds lower than when it was more than 1,800 points. If compared with the Hang Seng Index, the market value of the Swire Group has fallen to HK$2 billion. Not to mention that because of Norman Shiyahuai''s series of loan operations, the debt ratio of Swire Group is much higher than that of other companies in Hong Kong stocks, and the market value has fallen to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Closer to home, there was another episode that afternoon, when another small bank declared bankruptcy, which made the entire banking industry more panic. It''s half past six in the evening. Xia Yu and Li Qian arrived at MacLehose''s house on time and was warmly welcomed by MacLehose and his wife. This is the second time Xia Yu has come to MacLehose''s house with Li Qian. "Mr. Xia, please have tea." After a polite greeting, Xia Yu and Li Qian sat on the sofa together, and MacLehose''s wife poured a cup of tea for Xia Yu. "Thank you!" ... Simply drinking tea and chatting, half an hour passed in a flash, and the sumptuous dinner was fine. The MacLehose couple greeted Xia Yu and Li Qian to share dinner. After dinner, MacLehose''s wife, like the last time, left with Li Qian, and gave the living room to the two men to discuss matters. After taking a sip of tea, MacLehose sighed and said, "Mr. Xia, today is September 3, and my term of office has run out of time." "Think about it carefully. I came to Xiangjiang in 1971. In less than two years, an unprecedented stock market disaster broke out. Xiangjiang¡¯s economic and social order suffered a huge impact and destruction. The period when the stock market disaster broke out was my most tormented day. But I got through it." "In the past nine years or so, I think I am responsible for the people of Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang has become more and more prosperous in my hands." "But I didn''t expect that at the end of my political career, when Xiangjiang successfully restored prosperity and surpassed the achievements before 1973, the stock market crash broke out again, destroying the prosperous Xiangjiang to this point." "This is an unprecedented blow to me, who is 64 years old." "Can you imagine how I feel?" MacLehose looked directly at Xia Yu during the whole speech. Xia Yu could really feel that MacLehose was showing his true feelings. Of course, Xia Yu also saw a meaning from MacLehose''s eyes that seemed to see through the world-I know you played a big role in this stock market disaster. Xia Yu is not surprised. As the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose must know more than ordinary people. What''s more, this stock market crash was originally because Jiuding Securities gave up its competition with the Swire Consortium as the starting point, and it was indeed inseparable from him. Xia Yu said with emotion: "Mr. Governor, I can understand your feelings." "I also know that the stock market crash this time has something to do with me. For this, I apologize to you." "But the main responsibility for this stock market disaster is not with me. Even if I did not fight with the Taikoo Consortium, this stock market disaster will happen like this. Maybe it will not be as violent as it is now, but the final outcome will not be better than it is now." MacLehose invited Xia Yu over tonight, not to question Xia Yu, but to ask him for help. And he really wanted to know how Xia Yu viewed this stock market crash. If he could find all the reasons from Xia Yu, he would be able to deal with it in a targeted manner. "Mr. Xia, what do you think caused the stock market crash that only broke out in Xiangjiang?" "Mr. Governor, my think tank has already analyzed the reasons for the stock market crash..." Xia Yu had basically told Wang Ping the answer to this question before, and now MacLehose asked it, and he told it in a familiar manner. MacLehose listened very seriously, as if he were a primary school student who was listening to the class. In Xia Yu''s account, the battle between him and the Taikoo Consortium was just an incomplete introduction. The signs of the stock market disaster appeared when the Bank Association raised interest rates. His struggle with the Taikoo Consortium temporarily concealed the stock market disaster and postponed it. The most important reasons for the stock market crash were the problems with Xiangjiang¡¯s own economic structure; the lack of standardization of the securities market; and the mainland¡¯s statements on the future of Xiangjiang. The collapse of the myth of Carrian¡¯s fraud and the bankruptcy caused by the two major events are important reasons for the stock market crash to become more serious. After listening to Xia Yu''s recount, MacLehose suddenly became clear, and his resentment towards Xia Yu disappeared a lot. The reason has been found. MacLehose has a certain degree of confidence in reducing the losses of the stock market crash. He also feels that it is a wise choice to invite Xia Yu over tonight. He solemnly asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, in your opinion, to what extent will this stock market crash reach its trough?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It is difficult to say, depending on the severity of the consequences of the banking crisis. Today, three banks have failed, and there are still many banks dragged down by the Carning Group. These banks are also on the verge of bankruptcy." "And there are many banks associated with the Swire Group. I did not expect that the Shi Yahuai family would be so crazy and let the Swire Group carry such a high debt. Now the Swire Group and the Shi Yahuai family are definitely unable to repay their debts. If this causes some banks to fail, then The problem will be more serious." "It''s not impossible for the Hang Seng Index to fall below 500 points!" In the last sentence, Xia Yu was mostly used to intimidate McLehose. Anyway, there is uncertainty, as long as he doesn''t blow it too far. If he really did, the Hang Seng Index would definitely be his credit for not falling so low. After listening to Xia Yu¡¯s words, MacLehose showed self-blame and sighed and said: ¡°If you say so, I am also responsible. I shouldn¡¯t have issued so many bank licenses two years ago, which led to the ability to resist risks. There are so many weak small banks." Xia Yu comforted: "Mr. Governor, you don''t have to blame yourself. This has little to do with you. Even without these small banks, the Carrian Group will find loans from other banks, and the debt pressure will be transferred to other established banks." MacLehose laughed at himself, and didn''t dwell on it anymore. After he cleared up his emotions, he solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you are the only one who has the ability to save Xiangjiang from this stock market disaster. I hope you can stand up and help me and all Xiangjiang citizens. busy." With such a high hat on Xia Yu''s head, Xia Yu couldn''t retreat, and he didn''t want to retreat. He said with a serious face: "Mr. Governor, Xiangjiang is my hometown. As a member of Xiangjiang, it is what I should do to contribute to the economic development of Xiangjiang." MacLehose said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you!" "Mr. Governor, I don''t know where you plan to let me start?" After Xia Yu asked the question, MacLehose immediately replied: "The most important thing now is the bank run and bankruptcy crisis. Now the three that have failed are all small banks, but if the next medium-sized bank or Dah Sing Bank fails~www. novelhall.com~ Then the problem will be more serious." "I hope Jiuding Bank can give them sufficient financial support when these banks are about to fail." "As for the bank that was dragged down by the Carrian Group..." Speaking of this, MacLehose was silent for a long time. He didn''t make it difficult for others. Instead, he sighed and said: "If there is value in saving, you will save. I will make you receive it at a low price or even free of charge. Value... just let them go bankrupt." This requirement is not excessive. Xia Yu nodded and said, "This is no problem, I will try my best." MacLehose showed a smile and thanked Xia Yu: "Thank you!" After thanking you, the living room fell silent, and neither MacLehose nor Xia Yu spoke. Continued silence is a bit embarrassing. Xia Yu thought for a while and said to MacLehose: "Mr. Governor, the bank crisis can be resolved for the reasons I just mentioned. The economic structure of Xiangjiang is actually being resolved, but it will take a certain amount of time. Only when the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park can achieve results, there is only the most critical issue of the order of the securities market, which is the basis that determines the ceiling of the HeungKong capital market." "This must be resolved as soon as possible." MacLehose frowned slightly and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Xia, what do you think?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and revealed his true purpose: "The efficiency of the merger of the four institutes is too slow, and they are still arguing with each other. According to this progress, if you want to truly build a perfect stock exchange, there are no five or six. It won¡¯t be realized for years." "Li Fuzhao and others are too selfish and lack sufficient perspective on the overall situation. They are not the ones who get things done." "I think this matter should be re-planned from the Hong Kong government level and let the capable people do it!" ps: Two more than six thousand words, please referral monthly ticket, thank you! v3 Chapter 1050: Brokerage companies and banks Recommend to all book friends to read: Rebirth of the name of the most powerful stock goddess, the foundation of the world Chapter 1050 sent to the securities companies and banks (..) MacLehose''s pupils shrank, and he took a deep look at Xia Yu with a smile, and understood Xia Yu''s purpose in seconds. Xia Yu''s words reminded him that after quick weighing in his heart, he decided to agree to Xia Yu''s request. He also believed that the financial market of HeungKong was too chaotic, and that the juxtaposition of the four major stock exchanges restricted the development of HeungKong''s financial industry, which is why the merger of the four was promoted. In fact, he was also not satisfied with the people behind the four major exchanges arguing and competing for benefits, but there was no suitable opportunity to warn them. But this time the stock market crash has not only had a huge impact on Xiangjiang''s listed companies, it has also caused serious damage to the four major exchanges. Now is an excellent opportunity. However, although the merger of the four institutes is a strong push by the Hong Kong government, it still needs to convince the relevant stakeholders if it is to be truly implemented. The Hong Kong government is at best giving a sword. Therefore, MacLehose said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, the execution of the founding committee of the United Stock Exchange is indeed very poor. If you have a suitable person, even if you recommend it to me, I will adjust the relevant personnel." "But apart from these, the rest is up to you. I believe in your strength, Mr. Xia." MacLehose¡¯s attitude is enough! Xia Yu smiled and said gratefully: "Mr. Governor, thank you!" "Please rest assured, most people in Xiangjiang hope to have a good investment environment." MacLehose happily said, "I''m relieved with Mr. Xia''s words." "Ha ha¡­¡­" ... After chatting again for a while, Xia Yu was ready to leave when it was too early. "Mr. Governor, it''s late, so I won''t bother you. I''ll come to you for tea next time." "Okay, you are always welcome!" MacLehose and his wife sent Xia Yu and Li Qian to the door, smiled and waved to watch Xia Yu''s car leave. "I should be able to fall asleep tonight..." After regaining his gaze, MacLehose sighed in relief. These days, the stock market crash and the banking crisis have kept him busy, and the large numbers of petitions gathered at the door of the Hong Kong government every day to hope that the Hong Kong government will introduce effective measures to curb the stock market crash also put him under tremendous pressure. He was already in his sixties, and the quality of his sleep was very poor. The tremendous pressure these days made him unable to sleep every night. Now Xia Yu, the real economic hegemon of Xiangjiang, surpassing HSBC, is willing to make a move, and he believes that it will definitely be effective. He suddenly looked forward to what Xia Yu would do... ... Early the next morning, after Xia Yu went to work, he was planning to summon his subordinates to arrange work, but he did not expect to receive a call from his partner Feng Jingxi for help. Because the matter involved is extremely important, Feng Jingxi hung up the phone after learning that Xia Yu had time, simply said a few words, and planned to visit Xia Yu in person to make it clear to him. After Xia hung up the phone, he sat in his seat and thought for a while, and then respectively called Liu Tianci and Wang Qi, and asked them in detail about the current situation of Sun Hung Kai Securities and Sun Hung Kai Bank. Feng Jingxi may have really burnt his ass. Less than ten minutes after he finished the phone call, he came to Xia Yu''s office. Seeing Feng Jingxi''s bloodshot eyes and somewhat thin face, Xia Yu was a little surprised, but considering the current situation Feng Jingxi was facing, he was relieved. "Mr. Feng, please sit down! This is freshly brewed tea!" "Thank you!" Feng Jingxi thanked him and took a sip from his teacup. It seemed that he was drinking a little urgently, and he burned his mouth. Xia Yu was watching all the time. Seeing Feng Jingxi a little embarrassed, Xia Yu asked with a smile on his own initiative: "Mr. Feng, it was not clear on the phone just now. The situation on your side seems a bit bad now?" Feng Jingxi trembled and sighed. He looked at Xia Yu and said bitterly: "Mr. Xia, I blame my company for being too aggressive, causing me to be so downhearted. I can''t take care of my face. This time I am here to ask you for help, and now I cannot protect myself!" "If one is not good, both Sun Hung Kai Bank and Sun Hung Kai Securities may fall!" "I thought about it. At this point, only you among the partners can save me." Xia Yu looked solemn and asked: "Mr. Feng, don''t worry, I have a lot of things. I don''t know much about Sun Hung Kai Bank and Sun Hung Kai Securities. Can you tell me the specific situation first?" Feng Jingxi nodded and explained his own situation: "Mr. Xia, the funds of the securities company are basically locked up. The stock market crash has been too violent. I have no time to deal with it. The stocks of many companies I bought have fallen below the level. The closing line is closed, but now I can¡¯t close the position even if I want to close it." "Because the securities company obtained leverage support from Sun Hung Kai Bank in terms of funds, Sun Hung Kai Bank suffered a very large loss." "Besides, I was inadvertently deceived by Chen Qingsong. I lent a total of 350 million Hong Kong dollars to Carrian Real Estate. Now, with the bankruptcy of Carrian Group, this loan has suffered serious losses, with a loss of at least 250 million Hong Kong dollars. "The most important thing is the run crisis. Since the outbreak of the run crisis, depositors have withdrawn more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in deposits. Now Sun Hung Kai Bank''s fund treasury is in a hurry, and the reserves are now less than 80 million Hong Kong dollars!" "But the run crisis has not been alleviated at all. The remaining cash of less than 80 million Hong Kong dollars will not last long. I can''t think of other ways to eliminate the run crisis." "Investors in securities companies have also begun to claim back investment funds from us, and now they can only cope with difficulties." "Mr. Xia, now I am about to reach the end of the world!" As Feng Jingxi continued to tell Xia Yu frowned. The situation is even worse than what Wang Qi and Liu Tianci said! However, he did not blame Wang Qi and Liu Tianci for their thoughts. After all, Jiuding Securities only holds 10% of the shares of Sun Hung Kai Securities, and it does have limited knowledge of Sun Hung Kai Securities. Although Jiuding Bank holds 30% of the shares of Sun Hung Kai Bank, it has not snatched the bank''s management rights. It is normal that the bank¡¯s understanding of Sun Hung Kai Bank¡¯s situation is not as good as Feng Jingxi¡¯s chairman and president. Having said that, according to the situation described by Feng Jingxi, both Sun Hung Kai Securities and Sun Hung Kai Bank have suffered serious losses and both have great risks of bankruptcy. He is capable of helping. Last night, he also promised MacLehose not to let the medium-sized banks go bankrupt, but what can he get? After a thought flashed in his mind, Xia Yu, as a face of difficulty, said to Feng Jingxi: "Mr. Feng, Sun Hung Kai Securities and Sun Hung Kai Bank are in such a serious situation and there is a high risk of bankruptcy. Even if I want to help, it may not work. what!" Feng Jingxi suddenly became anxious, and he didn''t want to analyze Xia Yu''s purpose. Anyway, as long as Xia Yu is willing to help him, otherwise the two companies will go bankrupt and he will have nothing. He had already thought about it when he came. As long as Xia Yu was willing to help him, he would basically agree to most of the conditions. After all, how could it be better than the two companies to go bankrupt? "Mr. Xia, as long as you are willing to make a move, you will definitely be able to help me." "And I''m not asking you to help me for no reason. Feng Jingxi can''t do this kind of thing!" Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, he picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, pretending to ask casually: "Mr. Feng, what are your plans then, you might as well speak up." n. .. v3 Chapter 1051: Buy cabbage price Feng Jingxi took a deep breath, stared at Xia Yu, and solemnly expressed his thoughts: "Mr. Xia, after this blow, I know that banks are different from securities companies. I am not a banker, so I hope to be able to Sell ??Sun Hung Kai Bank to you!" "In addition to your 30% stake in Jiuding Bank, I now have a 46% stake in Sun Hung Kai Bank and the remaining 24% in the hands of four shareholders." "I have discussed with them, Sun Hung Kai Bank is now priced at 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will sell 24% of the shares held by the four shareholders." "And I hold 46% of the equity, leaving only 5%, reserve a director seat, and the remaining 41% of the equity can be transferred to you!" "So you only need to pay 130 million Hong Kong dollars to get a 65% stake in Sun Hung Kai Bank!" "Although Sun Hung Kai Bank is currently facing a run crisis, I believe that as long as Sun Hung Kai Bank is acquired by Jiuding Bank, the run crisis will be automatically lifted. The price of 130 million Hong Kong dollars is very cheap." "This is the real reserve price!" Needless to say, Feng Jingxi, Xia Yu also knows that this price is definitely worth the money. He didn''t expect that Feng Jingxi could really make up his mind to sell him the Sun Hung Kai Bank, which he worked so hard to build by himself. You know, before Sun Hung Kai Bank was Sun Hung Kai Finance Company, in order to obtain a bank license and Xia Yu''s help, Feng Jingxi transferred 30% of the shares to him at a price of 200 million Hong Kong dollars from Sun Hung Kai Finance Company. After Sun Hung Kai Finance Corporation transformed into Sun Hung Kai Bank, its business has grown by leaps and bounds. After obtaining deposits from depositors, its assets have also skyrocketed, and it has successfully become one of the largest banks. Although the bank is not listed, its valuation easily exceeds HK$1 billion. Although most of the bank¡¯s assets are now locked up and have lost a lot of money, most of the assets still exist. As long as the broken capital chain is restored and the bank¡¯s assets are revitalized, Sun Hung Kai Bank can still operate well. "Mr. Feng, are you sure you don''t regret it?" Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Feng Jingxi sighed bitterly and said: ¡°Mr. Xia, Sun Hung Kai Bank is like my son. Saying that he is willing is definitely a lie, but I already know that I¡¯m not a bank. Between bankruptcy and change of ownership, I would rather it change ownership, at least it still exists." "As for the entire Xiangjiang, Sun Hung Kai Bank can develop the best in your hands. I hope that in a hundred years from now, Sun Hung Kai Bank will continue to exist, even if it is not in my Feng family!" Xia Yu was silent, he could tell that this was Feng Jingxi''s true words. However, this is not the reason why Feng Jingxi transferred Sun Hung Kai Bank to him at such a low price. There should be other purposes. Xia Yu asked again: "Mr. Feng, Sun Hung Kai Bank said, what about Sun Hung Kai Securities?" Feng Jingxi took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down the fluctuating mood, and solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Sun Hung Kai Securities is my lifeblood, and I hope it can survive." "Although the funds are now locked up and the losses are serious, but its foundation is still there, as long as there is enough funds, it can be revitalized." "I hope you can inject capital into Sun Hung Kai Securities Company, and now Sun Hung Kai Securities Company buys all the shares of the company that it holds, as long as you need it, you can sell it to you!" "Other than that, I have no other conditions!" Xia Yu''s heart was a little touched, Feng Jingxi was really digging his heart out with him now, spreading everything out, as if begging for his alms. The conditions are also very simple and the purpose is very clear. Let Xia Yu become a major shareholder of Sun Hung Kai Securities, and use Xia Yu''s prestige to overcome the dilemma faced by Sun Hung Kai Securities. At the same time, he sold his assets to Xia Yu at a low price to save his life, even if the losses were severe. Xia Yu looked at Feng Jingxi with a look of vicissitudes, and said with emotion: "Mr. Feng, you are a strong man with a broken arm. Few people can do this for you!" Feng Jingxi smiled bitterly. He looked at Xia Yu and confided his own heart: "Mr. Xia, there is no way. I am old and I don¡¯t know how many years I can live. You also know that I have two sons. Not interested, now I''m running to Canada to run a newspaper." "Fortunately, the second son, Yongxiang, is only 20 years old, but he is also a major in financial investment, and he is also very interested in investment. He also has a certain talent. I am a successor." "As a father, I have to leave something for my son." "So when I told you just now, I didn''t plan to play any tricks. I directly stated the bottom line and the most real needs. I only hope that you can see the friendship of our old friends. It is also a pity for me. It also allows me to keep the last trace of face in front of my son." "I don''t want to wait for my son to be successful in his studies, but there is no platform for growth and display of abilities, and the father cannot **** him." This is a great father''s love for his son! Xia Yu looked moved. He remembered that Feng Yongfa, the second son of Feng Jingxi in the previous life, did a lot in the capital market, but he later lost in the fight with Liu Luan, but Feng Yongfa was still considered Xiangjiang''s financial tycoon. Since Feng Jingxi''s requirements are so low, and he doesn''t have to spend much effort, he can still reap huge benefits. He could not find a reason not to help. Therefore, facing Feng Jingxi''s expectant and perturbed eyes, Xia Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Feng, I can help with you." Feng Jingxi looked surprised, he suddenly got up, bowed to Xia Yu, and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you! Thank you!" "Hey, Mr. Feng, you don''t have to be like this. We just have what we need. I also take a big advantage. You can shame me if you give such a big gift." Xia Yu quickly helped Feng Jingxi and persuaded. Feng Jingxi shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Xia, you are helping me. I know very well that if it is someone else, it is very likely that I will fall into trouble again and eat me at a lower price." Xia Yu also knew that this was indeed possible. But it''s boring to continue entangled, he said to Feng Jingxi: "Mr. Feng, let''s go back to the topic just now, when do you need me to take action?" Feng Jingxi said immediately: "Of course, the sooner the better. If it is convenient now, I will go back and take the equity." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Every minute you delay, the depositors will withdraw more money. This matter should be done sooner or later, so now, you go back and make preparations. I will also let people prepare for the morning. Quit the run on Sun Hung Kai Bank." "Ok!" "Mr. Xia, then I will go back now and bring someone over later." After speaking, Feng Jingxi left in a hurry. Xia Yu immediately called Liu Tianci and Wang Qi and asked them to come over. About half an hour later, Feng Jingxi brought everything, including the current list of assets and liabilities of Sun Hung Kai Securities Company. Obviously, considering that the capital injection of Sun Hung Kai Securities Company had not been discussed in detail, he brought the list to facilitate the determination of the value. Needless to say, the transactions of Sun Hung Kai Bank directly sign the contract. Jiuding Bank invested 130 million Hong Kong dollars and obtained 65 percent of the equity. Adding the 30% of the shares originally held, a total of 95% of the shares of Sun Hung Kai Bank are held, and the remaining 5% remains in Feng Jingxi''s hands. Then there is Sun Hung Kai Securities. Xia Yu didn''t go too far and gave a loose price. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. injected 120 million Hong Kong dollars into Sun Hung Kai Securities Co., and increased its shareholding from 10% to 30%, becoming the second largest shareholder after Feng Jingxi. As for the asset acquisition, Xia Yu left a detailed list of assets and planned to arrange the acquisition by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. after clearing it out. Feng Jingxi has no opinion. After all the contracts were signed, Feng Jingxi completely entered the camp of Xia Yu Jiuding Consortium. Then Xia Yu called Yan Wenhan and asked him to send someone to join him. Because Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities, Sun Hung Kai Bank and Sun Hung Kai Securities will jointly hold a press conference ~ www.novelhall.com~ the protagonists are Liu Tianci, Wang Qi and Feng Jingxi, Xia Yu does not intend to come forward. At the press conference, Liu Tianci first announced in a high-profile manner that Sun Hung Kai Bank had become a subsidiary of Jiuding Bank, and that the risk of depositors¡¯ funds was guaranteed by Jiuding Bank. Then Wang Qi announced Jiuding Securities¡¯ capital injection into Sun Hung Kai Securities, and declared that Sun Hung Kai Securities is a very promising securities company, and the stock market crash will not destroy it. He is confident to join forces with Feng Jingxi to build Sun Hung Kai Securities better. . After the whole press conference, all the reporters who came were as if they had taken stimulants. Immediately afterwards, the content of the press conference quickly spread throughout Xiangjiang, shaking the whole Xiangjiang. Many people were shocked at the change of ownership of Sun Hung Kai Bank, but they were also envious of it. At least, Sun Hung Kai Bank did not have to worry about bankruptcy. The fact is also true. Knowing that Sun Hung Kai Bank had become a subsidiary of Jiuding Bank, most of the bank''s depositors were relieved and gave up withdrawals. The run crisis of Sun Hung Kai Bank was directly lifted. Investors who demanded back investment funds from Sun Hung Kai Securities and made trouble at the company''s door also left. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. of the stock **** has become the major shareholder of Sun Hung Kai Securities. In order not to damage its own interests, the stock **** will not allow Sun Hung Kai Securities to continue to lose money. Even if it loses now, it can definitely turn it over. Except for investors who were disappointed in Xiangjiang who wanted to bring their capital to emigrate, they insisted on claiming back their investment funds, most investors went home with peace of mind. The crisis of Sun Hung Kai Securities has also eased by half. . Feng Jingxi finally showed a relieved smile, thanking her wise move... ps: The first update is sent. Last night, I finished writing after three o''clock. I will update it in the morning. Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation! v3 Chapter 1052: HSBCs sale of assets At the time of the press conference, the stock market had already opened, and the stock prices of the Swire Group''s first-line companies and the three listed companies under the Carrian Group had naturally plummeted. At the same time, Norman Shiyahuai, who was rescued in the Sanatorium and Hospital, finally woke up and saw many of his children, including his eldest son Corey Shiyahuai who had flown urgently from England. "Father, how are you feeling now?" After driving out the others including his brothers and sisters according to his father''s instructions, Corey Shiyahuai grabbed his father''s hand and asked with concern. "I won''t see God yet." Norman Shi Yahuai said softly, and then asked about the company. "Corey, how is the company now? Have HSBC and other banks been here?" The situation is of course very bad. Corey Shiyahuai was afraid that his father would not be able to withstand the shock and another accident would happen, but he would not be the master without letting his father know. Corey Shiya smiled reluctantly, and didn''t know what to say after opening his mouth several times. Norman Shiya''s heart sank, and he tried to sit up with his strength, shocking Corey Shiya. "Father, lie down, don''t sit up." "Help me up!" Norman Shi Yahuai raised the volume and said unquestionably. Corey Shiyahuai had no choice but to carefully support his father and give him protective measures. "Let''s talk, what''s the situation now, don''t hide from me, I can bear it." With that, Norman Shi Yahuai stared at his eldest son coldly. Corey Shiyahuai sighed, did not dare to lie, and truthfully explained what happened when his father was in a coma. "Father, after you fainted, our company''s stock price plummeted. Not only did it fall below the cordon of pledged loans, but the market value of Swire Group even fell below HK$3 billion yesterday afternoon." "HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia, Citibank and other banks that have loan business with us have all sent us warning notices or face-to-face notices, asking us to make up the security deposit or collateral within 24 hours, otherwise we will The mortgaged assets are handled by them." "If we do not respond for more than twenty-four hours, they will force emergency measures to be initiated, tacitly give up the replenishment of margin and collateral, and will exercise the mortgage rights and dispose of the mortgaged assets by themselves." "Because you have been in a coma, and we really can''t take out the funds and excess collateral now, so I haven''t given those banks a reply. "Now there are only less than two hours left to the time given by the earliest HSBC." Norman Shi Yahuai listened blankly, as if what his son said had nothing to do with him. In fact, if you don''t care, it must be false. But after this coma, he also understood and prepared for the worst. He had thought of all the methods he could think of before, and had tried his best. Now that the situation is out of control, then all he can do is accept. To put it bluntly, his ambitions were wiped out under this blow. The only thought in his mind now is to preserve as many assets as possible for the family. "Let the bank exercise the mortgage right on its own. Don''t let those mortgaged assets." Hearing what his father said, Corey Shiyahuai was taken aback and found that he was not joking. However, banks are not easy to bully. Losing assets does not mean that they can get rid of all responsibilities. After a moment of silence, Corey Shiyahuai nodded and said softly: "Father, according to the current situation, after the bank auctions off the mortgaged assets, it is very likely to repay the debt. We don''t know if the remaining assets of our family are enough to pay off... " Faced with this extremely real problem, Norman Shi Yahuai was silent. The mortgaged assets will be handled by the bank itself. Generally, the bank will definitely want to sell as high as possible, but if some banks insist on cheating, they can sell the mortgaged assets at a low price, and they still need them for the remaining debt after the deduction. To repay. If their family refuses to repay, then the bank can sue them and apply to the court for enforcement. If there are really no other assets, the bank will blacklist them, which is very troublesome. But he can''t interfere with the bank''s exercise of mortgage rights. How to deal with it is the bank''s own business. The only thing he can do is to beg for mercy. "Hey¡­¡­" Norman Shiyahuai sighed and said to his elder son: "Let¡¯s notify the bank first. The rest can only be decided according to the situation." Corey Shiya nodded silently and said in a low voice, "Okay." ... There are two flowers and one branch each. Just after the press conference was over, Xia Yu called Liu Tianci and Wang Qi to his office again. Looking at the two sitting in distress, Xia Yu smiled slightly and said directly: "I went to MacLehose¡¯s house last night and talked to him about some things. I promised him except for some small banks that had been deeply involved with the Carrian Group. Unless it is allowed to go bankrupt, it will not let banks above the medium-sized bank go bankrupt." "In addition, it also involves the merger of the four major stock exchanges." "MacLehose promised me that he would adjust the founding committee of the United Stock Exchange and let me recommend someone to him." "Not surprisingly, MacLehose will replace the current committee chairman." Wang Qi and Liu Tianci''s eyes lit up, looking forward to what Xia Yu said. Xia Yu''s gaze swept over Wang Qi, and then, in his lost gaze, fixed on Liu Tianci: "God, I will put you in the chair of the committee, and you will be in charge of the merger of the four institutes. How to do it? , I will tell you then." "Ok!" Liu Tianci nodded in response. Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi again and said with a smile: "Wang Qi Don¡¯t lose yourself. I will promote you to the position of vice chairman of the committee. You are mainly responsible for acquiring equity in the four exchanges. Only when all four exchanges become major shareholders can the merger be pushed forward." "Now that the stock market crash has broken out, there is no doubt that the stock market will be sluggish in the next few years, and many shareholders and other companies of the four exchanges have also suffered heavy losses. Now is the most suitable time to take over the stock of the exchange." "After the merger of the four institutes is on the right track, I have more important things for you to do." Wang Qi was overjoyed, nodded, and replied loudly: "Yes!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then asked the two of them, "Do you have any questions?" Liu Tianci and Wang Qi shook their heads. "That way, after you go back, you will perform your duties and act according to the original plan." "Yes!" ... Corey Shiyahuai¡¯s first reply was HSBC. After Lin Changlong reported to Shen Bi, Shen Bi was not surprised. He knew that Shi Yahuai¡¯s family was exhausted, and he could not provide any money or other assets to make up the mortgage. Seeing that the mortgaged assets will continue to shrink, Shen Bi did not hesitate to let Lin Changlong release the list of assets that Shi Yahuai used to mortgage, and stated that it would be transferred. Interested parties are welcome to consult and take over. The information revealed by this news is too large, and it is true that the Swire Group and the Shi Yahuai family have run out of funds and are already insolvent! The stock prices of Swire Group and other companies plummeted again, and the decline of the entire Hong Kong stock market rose again. After hearing Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu immediately gave instructions to Wang Qi to stay on hold for the time being, and pay close attention to who was interested in these assets. Let the assets shrink for a while, then the price will be lower. ps: The second one is sent, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation! v3 Chapter 1053: The first bargaining target In the afternoon, Yumin Bank Malaysia, the parent company of Yumin Finance, once again sent representatives to negotiate with the Hong Kong government to learn more about Yumin Finance and Carrian Group in the economic fraud case. In order to give the depositors waiting outside the Hong Kong government the truth earlier, and to bring the stock market crash to an end as soon as possible, MacLehose was very tough, urging the Legal Department and the Hong Kong High Court to prosecute Carrian Group and Yumin Finance, making it clear that they will be investigated to the end. And in order to speed up efficiency, under the instruction of MacLehose, the Hong Kong High Court also invited the Hong Kong Standard Accounting Firm to join the bankruptcy liquidation team. Xia Yu received the report from the Standard Accounting Firm for the first time, and he realized that this was the kindness of MacLehose. This kind of thing that can greatly speed up the bankruptcy liquidation process of the Carrian Group and figure out the asset details of the Carrian Group in advance has many benefits. How can he not accept it? For this reason, after finishing get off work in the evening, Xia Yu also specifically called MacLehose to chat about Sun Hung Kai Bank, and promised to let the standard accounting firm help. In the next few days, several major events occurred in the banking industry. The first thing that happened was that the HSBC bank followed the gourd and seemed to show its leading position. The bank put 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in the center of the HSBC lobby, and the run crisis faced by HSBC was instantly resolved. After learning the news, Xia Yu just smiled faintly and threw him aside, and Shen Bi could only rely on this little trick to maintain the prestige of HSBC. He has been paying close attention to HSBC, but he knows that HSBC''s money is still collected, and HSBC has also received financial support from the British parent company HSBC Holdings. It''s just that even though HSBC put out an extra 200 million Hong Kong dollars, it cannot conceal the fact that it is ranked behind Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank to resolve the run-up. What''s more, unlike Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC is involved in both Carrian Group and Swire Group. Especially the amount of loans with Swire Group is huge. Anyone knows that HSBC will suffer heavy losses this time. Therefore, although HSBC put out 1.2 billion in cash to prove its strength to resolve the run crisis, HSBC''s stock price continued to fall along with the broader market, at best, the decline has slowed greatly. In addition to HSBC in the banking industry, Xia Yu also learned that Hang Seng Bank and the Bank of East Asia were also raising funds urgently, and seemed to want to follow suit to resolve the run-out crisis. HSBC is only the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, so even if HSBC resolves the run-on crisis, Hang Seng Bank can only ease it slightly. If it wants to solve it completely, it has to rely on itself, and HSBC does not have excess funds to help Hang Seng Bank. In the past few days, HSBC has lifted the run crisis, but five small banks have declared bankruptcy, raising the number of banks that went bankrupt in this stock market crash to eight. The negative impact caused by the bankruptcy of five small banks is no less than that of a medium-sized bank, and even because the number has increased, the negative impact is even greater. It can be said that the current Heung Kong banking industry is completely in a state of ice and fire! ... Early in the morning on September 7. Xia Yu was eating breakfast at home and reading the newspaper from time to time. When I read from the "Fengyun Daily" that DuPont of the United States completed the largest acquisition involving funds in the history of the United States and privatized one of the oil giants ConocoPhillips as a subsidiary at a price of 7.4 billion US dollars, Xia Yu Some emotions. "I am on the rise, and other consortia are not idle!" "Compared with those established consortiums, my Jiuding consortium is still far behind. Petroleum has just been involved, heavy chemical industry is still at the door, and the military industry is still not moving. Most of the companies that are already involved are not strong yet. , Can only barely dominate in a region." "We have to work harder..." After putting down the newspaper, Xia Yu quickly finished breakfast, then sorted his clothes, picked up his clothes and headed to the company. The new week is coming, and his bargain hunting operation should begin! After bringing Liu Tianci, Wang Qi, Jason Gregg and others to the headquarters for a short meeting, the bargaining operation officially began. At ten o''clock, the stock market reopened after a two-day break. The Hang Seng Index fell slightly, from 621.75 to 619.23. Subsequently, as many companies and wealthy individuals used funds to buy back stocks in the market, the Hang Seng Index kept fluctuating. Many institutions and retail investors whose funds were locked up have finally seen the light, and they continue to sell their own stocks. As for continuing to hold and waiting for the stock price to rise again? Except for a few confident investors who think this way, other investors and institutions all rushed to clear the stock and fled. The stock market crash is not over yet! The bank''s run crisis continues, and many banks have extremely high risk of bankruptcy. The future of Hong Kong has not yet been determined. It is a pipe dream to expect a long-term rebound in the stock market! It took six or seven years for the stock market crash in 1973 to recover. How can the stock market crash this time indicate how many years it will take to quell the impact? It is better to get the funds back as much as possible find other things to do... At three o''clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu came to Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. in a low-key manner and met Li Zhaoji who was waiting in the office while making tea. "Mr. Li, good afternoon!" "Mr. Xia, long time no see, please sit down!" "Please have tea!" "Thank you!" ... After a few simple greetings, Xia Yu provoked the topic. "Mr. Li, since this morning, many companies have started to buy back stocks. Henderson Land has much more funds than them. When are you going to buy back?" Li Zhaoji didn''t conceal it either. He smiled and said, "Just these two days, I''m not in a hurry." Xia Yu smiled: "Yes, you have grain in your hand, so don''t panic when things happen!" Li Zhaoji shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Xia, don''t laugh at me. Although my Henderson Land Development raised 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in June, it also spent a lot of money before the stock market crash. In fact, there is not much money now. Up." "Nothing can compare to you, the God of Wealth, now there are still billions of dollars in cash in the lobby of Jiuding Bank!" Xia Yu smiled, and said to himself: "It''s just luck that there is so much money in the vault." "Mr. Li, you also know that bank funds are operating at a high level. If my bank has been idle for one billion Hong Kong dollars, the interest loss alone will cost 80 million Hong Kong dollars a year." Li Zhaoji agreed with Xia Di and smiled, not entangled in this topic anymore. After a brief chat, Xia Yu''s face turned straight and looked at Li Zhaoji solemnly. "Mr. Li, I am here this time to buy something from you." Li Zhaoji condensed his eyes, pondered for a moment and asked, "I don''t know what it is?" Xia Yu looked directly at Li Zhaoji and said softly: "Your company holds the equity of China Gas Company!" ps: Seek recommended monthly ticket! v3 Chapter 1054: King of Xiangjiang Energy Li Zhaoji''s pupils shrank and remained silent, and the situation about China Gas Company quickly emerged in his mind. Among his assets are the shares of China Gas Company, but not in Henderson Land Development Company, but under Wing Tai Construction Company Limited. He founded the Henderson Land Development Company, which was listed in June this year, by himself, but Wing Tai Construction Company was founded in partnership with Hu Baoxing after he emerged from Sun Hung Kai Enterprises at the end of 1972. Although he has expanded the shares several times and is now the largest shareholder and chairman of Yongtai Jianye, he still has not completely acquired Yongtai Jianye. It''s not that he doesn''t want to completely acquire Yongtai Jianye, but that he doesn''t have enough funds for the time being, and partner Hu Baoxing still resists. But now, there seems to be a good opportunity... Although he also has ideas for China Gas Company, Xia Yu has come to his door now. With Xia Yu¡¯s style of acting, the preliminary preparations are certainly not bad. Yongtai Jianye''s shareholding ratio may not necessarily have an advantage, and his capital It is even less comparable to Xia Yu. The result of a head-to-head will definitely be a mess, and it will also delay his bargaining and growth in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It''s better to stop in time and cut off your thoughts about China Gas. Moreover, if the shares of China Gas Company are stripped and sold, he can get the bulk of the shares according to his shareholding ratio, and then he will start to acquire Yongtai Jianye Company. Anyway, I am now ready to buy land and properties, and the assets of others are definitely not as important as the company I built myself. And there are indeed some gaps in his funds. The wealthy Xia Yu focused on the China Gas Company, and the struggle is sure to be unwinnable. It doesn''t matter if he stops thinking, he concentrates on real estate and property... Xia Yu drank the tea tightly and waited patiently. He had already analyzed before coming. With Li Zhaoji¡¯s current situation and his style of life, he would not hold onto China Gas¡¯ equity. The key is The money is still in place. really. After Li Zhaoji finished thinking, he took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, Yongtai Jianye Company owns 26.4% of China Gas Company. We are also old friends. Since you need it, then I am also happy with adult beauty." "But you also know that Yongtai Construction Company was not owned by me alone. It was founded by me and Hu Baoxing. I can convince him to agree to sell shares, but I must be able to speak out about the price." Xia Yu nodded and said, "This is what it should be. There must be a reasonable price that is acceptable to both parties." "In this way, you might as well listen to me first about my views and prices." Li Zhaoji smiled and nodded, made a please gesture, and looked at Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and slowly said: "When the market was closed this morning, the total market value of China Gas was more than 1.369 billion Hong Kong dollars. After the market opened in the afternoon, it was still falling, so count it. 1.37 billion Hong Kong dollars as the base." "On this basis, I purchased the equity held by your company at a premium of 30%." "Mr. Li, what do you think?" The base is 1.37 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the value of 26.4% of the equity is 361.68 million Hong Kong dollars. Another 30% premium is just over 470 million Hong Kong dollars! Li Zhaoji quickly calculated in his mind and came up with a number. This number is undoubtedly much lower than before the stock market crash. He remembers clearly that before the battle between the Jiuding Consortium and the Taikoo Consortium, the peak market value of China Gas was HK$3.2 billion, and the paper value of his equity was more than HK$840 million. Now it has shrunk a lot! Li Zhaoji smacked his lips, pondered for a moment, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Mr. Xia, is this price too low? Let¡¯s not talk about the market value of the Hang Seng Index after 1,800 points. Before that, my equity, others thought Buy, there is no need to talk about 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu knew that Li Zhaoji would not fail to understand, saying that it was nothing more than trying to raise the price. However, Xia Yu couldn''t really agree with him. The difference between the amounts was huge. He was here to buy the bottom, not to be taken advantage of. Therefore, Xia Yu bluntly retorted: "Mr. Li, you can''t say that. Before, we had to speak based on facts. No matter how high the market value of China Gas was before, the situation is different now." "When the stock market crash came, no one knew what the future would be like. The stock market crash in 1973 took six or seven years to ease off. Even if it was a small stock market crash, it was five years." "If I buy this equity at the previous high price, it will take five years before the stock price rises back to the previous high, and the value of the equity is the same as the capital I invested." "But according to the current bank borrowing interest, taking a loan interest rate of 16% of the median value, the interest of 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars for five years will be more than 960 million Hong Kong dollars. I may not be able to return for ten years. this." "And five years later, the money can''t be compared with the current money." "If you buy equity and assets in the hands of other people now, will you use the current price or the previous price?" Li Zhaoji hit a haha, didn''t feel embarrassed, and smiled and defended himself: "Mr. Xia, I didn''t mean that I wanted to follow the previous high price, but just make a price comparison." "You have said so much, but I also have a point of view. After all, China Gas is different from other companies. It is the only gas production, transportation and supplier in Hong Kong, and the only Hong Kong-wide central pipeline gas supplier. It has Irreplaceable monopoly." "Although the stock market crash has caused many assets to depreciate, the price of gas used by residents will not change, so the profit of China Gas will not drop much." "The 30% premium price is indeed lower. I think 80% is more pertinent, and Hu Baoxing has no opinion on the price." Xia Yu immediately retorted: "Mr. Li, you mentioned the monopoly of China Gas Company. This is a fact, but it is also because of its monopoly that, as a public utility company, it is also the company with the highest P/E ratio in that field. It is much higher than the price-earnings ratios of public utility companies such as China Light and Power Company and Kowloon Bus Company that I have acquired before. I know this very well." "Even if the stock price has fallen now, China Gas''s P/E ratio is still at the current high level." "As for the profit you mentioned, it will definitely drop sharply. There are not a few companies that go bankrupt in the stock market crash, and the company''s gas consumption will be greatly reduced. Residents will definitely subconsciously save gas consumption because their wallets are not enough..." "The premium of 80% is too ridiculous, but since you have spoken, I will not refund or give you face, so let''s add another five points to the premium." ... Although Xia Yu and Li Zhaoji were negotiating, they both exercised restraint and cared about the atmosphere to avoid hurting their peace. The negotiating style is entirely reasonable. If you feel that what the other person said is reasonable, take a step back consciously. In the end, Xia Yu was slightly better. When the price was set at a premium of 50%, Li Zhaoji could not say anything. "Mr. Xia, your eloquence is so good, I can see it today, I have to admire it." Li Zhaoji said with a wry smile, and returned Xia Yu with tea. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said to himself: "It''s too good, but Mr. Li, you don''t want to argue with me too much." Li Zhaoji smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia is too humble." After smiling, Li Zhaoji narrowed his smile and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I personally have no problem with the 50% premium, but tonight I have to ask Hu Baoxing to see what his attitude is. I will give it early tomorrow morning. What do you think of your reply?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "No problem, then I am waiting for your good news." Li Zhaoji joked: "I''m not sure if it is good news." "Haha..." ... After sitting for a while, Xia Yu bid farewell and left in peace. He didn''t worry that Hu Baoxing would disagree. Given Li Zhaoji''s shareholding ratio and status in Yongtai Jianye, just now in the negotiation that he wanted to ask Hu Baoxing''s opinion was nothing more than an excuse, leaving himself room for negotiation. If Li Zhaoji really had no right to decide, he would not talk to him about the 50% premium alone. He only needs to prepare the funds and the lawyer is ready to sign the contract tomorrow. The facts are just as Xia Yu expected. After he went to work the next day, he received a call from Li Zhaoji and talked about the process of "convincing Hu Baoxing", and then asked him when he would sign up. The equity was safe, so Xia Yu immediately told him to come right awayAfter hanging up the phone, he took good people to Henderson Land Development Company and signed the acquisition contract with Li Zhaoji. At 9:32 in the morning, the contract was signed, and the purchase price was 542.52 million Hong Kong dollars. It would take three days for the funds to be deposited into Yongtai Construction''s account in Jiuding Bank before the contract would take effect. Xia Yu didn''t ask Li Zhaojito to wait. After leaving, he asked Liu Tianci to pay the money. Before ten o''clock, he transferred the money to the account of Yongtai Jianye Company and notified Li Zhaoji. In the next two days, Xia Yu visited Li Mingze of Lijia and Li Fushu, Chairman of The Bank of East Asia, and purchased them at a premium of 35% and 25% respectively. A total of more than 386 million Hong Kong dollars was spent on the 6.5 and 5.1% equity. In addition to the 12.8% equity that Jiuding Securities bought during its investment in the past two years, the 11.2% equity originally held by Hang Lung Bank acquired by Jiuding Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank Holds 6.4% of the equity. Xia Yu holds a total of 78.4% of China Gas. Then Xia Yu gathered all these shares and put them under the banner of Jiuding Energy Group. Among the heated discussions, the first thing after Jiuding Energy Group took over the China Gas Company was to apply to the exchange for delisting and privatization. Following the electric power, the gas market was monopolized by the Jiuding Consortium, and those with good deeds privately gave Xia Yu another domineering title-King of Xiangjiang Energy. The China Gas Company became the first company to take the initiative to apply for privatization before the stock market crash was over. Many bigwigs with capital seemed to have heard the clarion call of the charge and started to act. ps: I ask for a recommended monthly pass. I will add another one tonight, but it will be later. Don''t wait, let''s see it tomorrow. v3 Chapter 1055: Buy bottoms The first major move was the four big real estate tycoons of the four generations after the 1973 stock market crash. Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, and Zheng Yutong all bought out real estate companies that own a large amount of land or properties that have already been built. Among them, the most powerful fund and the biggest man is Li Zhaoji, the big man who can grasp the capital market most among the four. No way, who made this stock market crash so suddenly? Although Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium has been fighting with the Taikoo Consortium for a period of time, anyone with a sense of crisis will find ways to cash out stocks to raise funds at that time, but the time is still too short. Although Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong cashed out some stocks at high positions and also raised some funds from other channels, they are definitely not as good as Li Zhaoji. Henderson Land Development raised one billion Hong Kong dollars in a single go after listing in June. Before the stock market crash in 1973, Li Zhaoji seized the opportunity to launch Yongtai Construction Company, which had just been established a few months ago, to the public market and raised a large sum of funds for bargaining after the stock market crash. How similar is this scene! Li Zhaoji''s ability and sense of smell are not comparable to the other three. Of course, after the stock market crash broke out, the bank run crisis has not yet been resolved, and companies with broken capital chains are unknown. Naturally, Li Zhaoji and Li Jiacheng are not the only bigwigs who want to buy dips at this time. Hu Yingxiang, Wang Dehui, Luo Yingshi, Tian Yuanhao and other bigwigs also ended up. But their acquisitions are not limited to listed companies. Even for the acquisition of listed companies, most of them do not buy stocks from the stock market. In order to improve efficiency and save costs, they directly find shareholders. Like Xia Yu, they directly sign the contract after the negotiation is completed. Xia Yu made a good start for everyone. As long as the shareholders, large and small, increase their shareholding to more than 66.7 percent, they can naturally take over the board of directors, and then pass a resolution of the board of directors to apply for privatization to the exchange. The price of privatization is complete. It can be lowered and the repurchase will be mandatory. If you buy from the stock market slowly, it takes time and effort, and investors may not necessarily sell all of them. It is also easy to raise the stock price and increase the cost of acquisition, which is too cost-effective. At this time, it is also the easiest time to directly find shareholders to buy stocks. No way, at this time, the importance of cash has become more than ten times more important. As long as the full payment is paid, assets that were previously worth hundreds of millions can now be bought for 30 or 20 million! And because many acquisitions did not go through the stock market, this led to the fact that although the stock market''s trading volume rose, it was still a buyer''s market. The Hang Seng Index could not rebound against the trend and could only fluctuate sharply at more than 600 points. When other bigwigs acted, the heads of Xia Yu''s companies did not intend to miss this opportunity. All the time, thanks to Xia Yu''s wise guidance and foresight, his companies have developed very fast and have very strong profitability. Except at the beginning, he would withdraw funds from various companies to invest in the capital market. Later, when his funds were huge, he did not draw much money. Even if he did, he would re-inject more funds. This has led to his company''s cash flow has been healthy. After receiving strategic instructions from the highest level of Xia Yu this time, many companies of the Jiuding Consortium have started to acquire companies that can strengthen their business. For example, Jiuding Retail Group is eyeing Xiangjiang''s largest sports retail company-Xiangjiang Marathon supplies chain stores. Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group is eyeing the first modern pharmaceutical company in the scale of Xiangjiang¡ªAomei Pharmaceutical Factory, as well as Renyuantang, a manufacturer and seller of healthcare drugs. Of course, the biggest move was undoubtedly the Jiuding Real Estate Group, which received the largest financial support from Xia Yu. Whether it is a real estate company that owns a large amount of land, a specialized infrastructure company, a property management company that holds a large number of properties, or a hotel management company, all are the acquisition targets of Jiuding Property Group. According to Xia Yu¡¯s instructions to Liu Shihao, he wanted Liu Shihao to take advantage of this opportunity to eat as much commercial land and popular properties as possible, and at the same time expand the infrastructure team as much as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for the further development of a large number of low-priced properties in the future. Foundation. Of course, many companies under the Swire Group are also one of the most delicious cakes. After HSBC released the news, many wealthy people went to ask for the price. Seeing that many people were interested, Shen Bi arranged for someone to host an asset auction with the intention of obtaining the maximum benefit. Other banks holding mortgage assets of Swire Group and Shi Yahuai''s family have also released news to attract people. Realizing that the time had come, with Xia Yu''s order, many acquisition teams of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which had been waiting for a long time, were dispatched one after another. With Jiuding Securities¡¯ financial power and power, no one can grab the edge. As long as it is the target that Jiuding Securities wants, it will eventually be taken by Jiuding Securities, and the price will not be too high, because at this time almost no one Willing to offend the Jiuding Consortium. But Norman Shi Yahuai could only watch as a penny of equity that was originally his own fell into the hands of Jiuding Securities. The hearts of all members of the Shi Yahuai family are bleeding, and an atmosphere of grief and helplessness has been hanging over the Shi Yahuai family10:30 am on the 13th. Xia Yu is browsing the latest acquisition results and progress reported by various companies. Song Bo rushed to Xia Yu''s office. "Mr. Song, you are here, please sit down!" Seeing that Song Bo was knocking on the door, Xia Yu said with a faint smile. After Song Bo sat down, he asked expectantly: "Mr. Xia, I just heard that you have already taken down other shares of Swire Trading Company and Swire Industrial Group?" Xia Yu joked: "Mr. Song, you are well informed!" Song Bo smiled and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Xia, there is no way. Now my entire Song family is paying attention to this matter, and I will count on two companies in the future." Xia Yu smiled and said to him: "Mr. Song, I told you that these two companies can definitely be acquired." Song Bo nodded hurriedly, and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, I have always believed that you can successfully acquire. This time I have troubled you." Xia Yu waved his hand. Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Song, now I have 51.38% of Swire Industrial Group''s equity. Except for the 44.32% you currently hold, the remaining The 4.3% equity is in the hands of the Shi Yahuai family. As long as the Shi Yahuai family has acquired all the mortgaged equity, the 4.3% equity that is not mortgaged will not be acquired temporarily." "There is also a 74.9% equity interest in Swire Trading." "What about you, how much did you prepare?" "How much you can buy depends on the amount of your funds!" ps: The third update is sent. I sorted out the outline, which led to the writing of almost two points. This chapter is overdone, and the next few chapters end the plot. On the last day of the month, ask for a recommended monthly pass! v3 Chapter 1056: Song family officially joined Song Bo took a deep breath, suppressed the regret and helplessness in his heart, and slowly said, "Mr. Xia, I have prepared a fund of 550 million yuan." Xia Yu said with a smile, "Mr. Song, it seems that the funds you have prepared are not enough!" Song Bo shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Mr. Xia, our Song family is far inferior to yours. It is already the best of the whole family to be able to take out so much cash. It doesn''t matter how much equity can be bought." In fact, the strength of the Song family is not weak in Xiangjiang, but it is not enough for him to swallow Swire Industrial Group and Swire Commercial Group. The combined value of these two companies is close to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in normal times. Not to mention that the value of Swire Industrial Group and Swire Commerce Group soared during the previous equity competition, and the market value of Swire Industrial Group, which is already listed, more than quadrupled. As a result, he didn''t acquire much equity, but it cost him one billion Hong Kong dollars. The equity of other valuable companies was replaced at par, and there was not much equity left in other companies that Xia Yu did not need, and there was not much cash. In addition to nearly 750 million Hong Kong dollars in equity replacement last time, more than 250 million Hong Kong dollars in cash was also spent. Then when he bought it himself, he also spent more than four billion Hong Kong dollars. It is already his limit to be able to raise so much money now. Seeing Song Bo''s expectant and anxious eyes, Xia Yu smiled slightly, and didn''t intend to make him wait any longer. "wait for me a while." With that said, Xia Yu got up and went to his desk, opened the drawer and took out a thick stack of documents, came to the tea table again, and put the stack of documents in front of Song Bo. "Mr. Song, take a look. This is the list of stocks acquired by our company, as well as all the corresponding contracts. You can see that I haven''t lied to you on the price." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Song Bo hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Xia was joking, how could you lie to me." Speaking of it, Song Bo picked up the top list and browsed it. He scanned the details of the equity acquisition, focusing on the two rows of data. The total equity of Swire Industrial Group is 51.38%, and the acquisition cost a total of 594 million Hong Kong dollars. The total equity of Swire Commerce Group is 74.9%, costing a total of 636 million Hong Kong dollars. Seeing these two figures, Song Bo''s heart sank, and a touch of bitterness appeared in his heart. The total value of these two shares was over 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. He only raised 550 million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that he can''t even buy half of it. If he now puts out more than 1.2 billion funds and eats all these shares, Swire Industrial Group and Swire Trading Group will become wholly-owned industries of the Song family. But... hey... Who made their family not strong? The money that can be borrowed has already been borrowed, so don''t even want to ask who has borrowed money at this time... Slightly shook his head to sweep away the loss, Song Bo put down the list, picked up some acquisition contracts and looked at it. These equity interests mainly come from HSBC, because these assets were mortgaged by Swire Group and Shi Yahuai''s family to HSBC, and then successfully bought by Jiuding Securities. The base value of the purchased equity is based on the current valuation, but there is an average premium of more than 30%. After reading a few contracts, he found that the purchase amount above was exactly the same as the statistics list, so he didn''t look at it again. After replacing the documents, Song Bo took a deep breath and said to Xia Yu, "Mr. Xia, I have already read it, and it is all right." Xia Yu smiled slightly and asked, "Then how much do you want for these equity?" This is the most critical point. Only when you make the right choice can you maximize your benefits. Song Bo frowned slightly, lost in thought, and quickly calculated in his heart. Five hundred and fifty million Hong Kong dollars is not enough even if it only eats the equity of one company, and doing so is equivalent to giving up another company, which is not in line with his previous ideas. Then the best way is to absolutely hold one company, and relatively hold one, so that both companies can control. Absolute controlling Swire Industrial Group or Swire Trading Group? After weighing in his mind for a long time, a firmness flashed in Song Bo''s eyes. I decided to take control of the larger Swire Industrial Group! Swire Industrial Group has Swire Rubber Company and Swire Machinery Manufacturing Company. According to the current economic planning of the Hong Kong Government and the investment and planning of the Jiuding Consortium in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, the potential of Swire Industrial Group should be even greater! Thinking of this, Song Bo solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I have decided. I want 22.38% of Swire Industrial Group''s equity. After buying this, the remaining funds will buy Swire Trading Group. Equity." He previously held 44.32% of Swire Industrial Group''s equity, and now he buys another 22.38% to increase his equity to 66.7%. , Just over the absolute holding line. Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Are you sure?" Song Bo nodded heavily, with a firm expression on his face, and answered vigorously, "I''m sure!" Xia Yu nodded and smiled: "That''s OK, I will let someone come over and figure it out now, you call your lawyer over." "Okay, let me borrow the phone." "Please!" Song Bo got up and came to the phone, dialed the phone at home, gave a few words to his son who had been waiting, and hung up. After a while, an accountant came in, and Xia Yu asked him to start calculations based on Song Bo''s choice. After a few minutes, the result was calculated. The purchase price of 22.38% of Swire Industrial Group''s equity is HK$258.7 million. After that, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will purchase on its behalf, and the commission is 5%. After adding the commission, Song Bo needs to pay 271.67 million Hong Kong dollars. Then Swire Trading Group¡¯s 31.2% equity, the purchase price is 265,066 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a 5% commission, Song Bo needs to pay 27,830 Twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu took the calculation result, took a look, and handed it to Song Bo. Song Bo looked at the detailed calculation process and found that it was indeed correct. Then he silently added 25.1% of Swire Trading Group''s equity that he already held to 31.2%, and the result was 56.3%. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the relative holding line has passed. Most of the pressure in his heart was sent away, and a smile appeared on his old face. "Mr. Xia, it''s no problem, just assign it like this." "Row!" "Since your people have not yet come, then I will draft the contract here." "Ok." ... For professionals, it doesn¡¯t take much time to draft a contract. When Xia Yu had just finished drafting the contract, Song Bo¡¯s lawyer just came over, and UU read to check the drafted contract to see if there was any omission. After verification, the contract is signed immediately. When Song Bo saw Xia Yu signing and pushing the corresponding stock certificate to him, he smiled happily. "Mr. Song, congratulations!" Xia Yu got up and stretched out his hand to Song Bo, congratulated with a smile. Song Bo shook hands heavily with Xia Yu and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your help. Cooperating with you is the most correct decision I have made in my life. I believe that our cooperation will be even greater in the days to come. Intimacy." Xia Yu heard the subtext in Song Bo''s dialect, which was showing loyalty to him, and he was completely on his side on behalf of the Song family. Xia Yu replied with a smile: "I also believe that the days to come will be long, take it slow." "Ok!" "Mr. Xia, do you want to have a light meal at noon?" "Next time, there will be more opportunities in the future, there will be more things during this time." "Yes, then next time! As long as you have time, I can do it anytime!" After a few words of greeting, Song Bo happily left with equity. Xia Yu collected the remaining stock certificates. After selling out the equity to Song Bo, he still has 33.3% equity in Swire Industrial Group and 43.7% equity in Swire Commerce Group. He thought about these shares for a while, and prepared to temporarily put them under the banner of Jiuding Industrial Group, and Wei Li would take care of them. At this point, he finally fulfilled his promise to Song Bo, and added Song Bo to his camp. The comprehensive strength and influence of his Jiuding Consortium has grown again! ps: I finally filled in a hole. If you find a typo in the recent chapters, please ask Haihan. If you can point out the best, I will modify it later and I will write a chapter immediately! In addition, ask for a recommended monthly pass! v3 Chapter 1057: Good things in Carrian Group In the next few days, Xiangjiang¡¯s business community remained the same, with bargain hunters, fire sales, and runs. Anyway, the news hotspots of the media were not less than that. All kinds of breaking news continued to be exposed, which led to a huge increase in people buying newspapers . Yan Wenhan also specially calculated that the sales of all newspapers under Jiuding Newspaper Company have increased to a certain extent. ... This morning, Zhou Keji, the general manager of the standard accounting firm, came to Xia Yu''s office happily. "Chairman, the assets of the Carrian Group have been liquidated!" Before sitting down, Zhou Keji vigorously presented the document detailing the assets of the Carrian Group to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it with a little surprise, and smiled and praised Zhou Keji: "Self-denial, the efficiency is good!" Zhou Keji smiled modestly and explained: "Chairman, this is all the credit of the people below, and now it''s just cleared up, I will bring it over immediately." "Well, good job!" "You are also good at leading the team!" Xia Yu affirmed Zhou Keji''s credit and ability, and then flipped through the list of assets of the Carrian Group. Seeing the real estate, construction, trade, shipping, tourism, insurance, film production, insecticide, investment and other fields listed on the catalog, there are as many as 100 companies under it, Xia Yu couldn''t help but feel a little moved. Chen Qingsong is indeed a genius. In just a few years, through continuous mergers and acquisitions and capital operations, a small company with a registered capital of 5 million Hong Kong dollars has been built into a business kingdom that spans many fields and has three listed companies. . Because the Carrian Group has a lot of assets, there are dozens of pages in the asset list. It took Xia Yu to browse through it quickly and it took him more than an hour. After reading it, Xia Yu compared the detailed information about the Carning Group that was investigated before, and found that there were still many things that were not clear. After reading it, Xia Yu picked up the pen and turned to the first page again. He wants to outline the acquisition targets he is interested in. The first is the equity of three listed companies, Carrian Real Estate, Vinda Shipping and Qichang Life. Carrian Real Estate has many properties and land under its umbrella, many of which are in good locations and worthy of acquisition, and of course there are many things that he does not need. Xia Yu constantly sketched the properties and land plots that were eye-catching, and skipped those that were not eye-catching. There are a total of 12 plots of the property and 17 plots of land! Then there is Vinda Shipping Company. This is a company mainly engaged in the shipping industry. Its business coverage is still very wide. The Carrian Group holds 65% of the shares of this listed company! It is only 1.4% of the equity from Absolute Holdings! But after Xia Yu browsed it, don''t all, this company is a mess. The shipping industry is definitely bright in the future, but for now, the global shipping industry is depressed and is still deteriorating. Vinda Shipping is still losing money. This is caused by environmental factors, even if Xia Yu took over. It is difficult to develop well. In the rapid development now, a slight profit is actually equivalent to a loss! Leave the assets of this company to those who need it, and see who can get it! Then there is the last listed company, Qichang Life Insurance, whose full name is Qichang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. This insurance company was established in 1909. It is a well-established insurance company with a high share of the insurance market. Qichang Life''s business is mainly to operate life, family marine insurance and fire insurance. It has branches and agency companies in the United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia, Star City and Thailand. This company was just acquired by Carrian Group in June this year. The Carrian Group used an equity equivalent to 6% of the issued shares of Carrian Real Estate, totaling 15 million shares, in exchange for the Philippine majority shareholder Aiila International Enterprise Co., Ltd. to hold the Qichang Life Insurance Company. Forty-six equity. Just as Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. is hitting the throne of Asian insurance giants, Jason Gregg is still acquiring and acquiring companies, and Qichang Life Insurance, an insurance company that reaches out to Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Australia and Southeast Asia, is It is an excellent prey. Not much to say, this 46% of the equity must be taken away! Then think of a way to acquire the equity in the hands of others and privatize it into a wholly-owned subsidiary, which will definitely increase the strength of Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd. After Qichang Life Insurance Company finished hooking up, Xia Yu continued to look down and continued to sketch. When turning to the second half, there was an asset that made Xia Yu''s heart beating. This asset is 21% of the shares of Rihuo Film Company, a listed company in the island country. This equity was acquired in December last year, and Caring Real Estate Co., Ltd. reached an agreement with Rihuo Film Company, a listed company in the island country, to acquire each other. Carrian Property acquired 21% of the shares of Daily Life Film Company at a consideration of HK$100 million, and Daily Life Film Company subscribed for 446,600 shares of Carrian at a consideration of HK$66.24 million Shares. In other words, Carrian Realty actually paid more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in cash to control 21% of the equity of Daily Film Company. Established in 1912, Nikkatsu Film Co., Ltd. is one of the earliest large-scale production companies in the island country. It is composed of four companies, including Yoshizawa Store, the largest film company in the Meiji era, m. EMI, Fukhodo and Yokota Chamber of Commerce in Kyoto. Now, the main business of Rihuo Film Company is entertainment business, including film production and distribution, operation of 428 movie theaters in the island country, and also has a lot of land reserves. It is worth mentioning that after entering the 1970s, due to the economic development of the island country, in order to increase revenue, Nikka Film Company also set foot in operating (not hot in Tokyo) movies, which also made it the only major film company in the island country. A film company involved in this field. But Xia Yu was not tempted by this, nor did he want to be the principal of many teachers. What he was tempted by was the huge theater chain and distribution network of Rihuo Film Company. Think about his global cinema chain. Some time ago, it just broke through 700 cinemas, and there are still the number of cinemas worldwide. If it is only an island country, there are only 72 cinemas. How many Nikko Films has? Four hundred and twenty-eight! This number is called the largest theater in the island nation! This huge cinema chain has been indispensable for Rihuo Films'' ability to keep the throne as one of the five largest film giants in the island nation. If the Universal Cinemas can annex the cinemas of Rihuo Film Company, the Universal Cinemas will become the leader of the island nation''s cinema market, and the film market of the island nation will also depend on his face. And his Galaxy Film Company can also be a fish in the water on the island film market! There are so many benefits! Don''t hesitate, you must win! Xia Yu flicked his pen and decisively sketched it! After Rihuo Film Company, there are not many assets that interest Xia Yu. After sketching, Xia Yu reassembled the documents. He once again praised Zhou Keji: "The assets are cleared clearly, and the arrangement looks very comfortable." "Thank you for the compliment, chairman!" Zhou Keji said modestly, but the smile at the corner of his mouth showed his inner mood swings. A satisfied look flashed in Xia Yu¡¯s eyes, and after thinking about it, he ordered Zhou Keji: ¡°Keep yourself down, the affairs of the Carrian Group have come to an end. The rest will be handled by the Xiangjiang High Court, and I will arrange for others to be responsible, but You can¡¯t be free yet." "Now many brother companies are hunting down assets. Time is money The faster the asset liquidation, the better. This requires your efforts." "Furthermore, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, and many other big brothers in Hong Kong have also greeted me. They need the strong support of a standard accounting firm. Don''t let me lose face." "So you have to do a good job of scheduling, this time is also an opportunity for the rapid growth of our standard accounting firm, we must not be careless." Zhou Keji looked serious and nodded and replied: "Chairman, I must keep your teachings in mind. The Standard Accounting Firm will never hold back the group or shame you!" "Ok!" "see your performance!" "If there is nothing else, you can go back first and work hard!" "Okay chairman, then I''m leaving now!" Seeing Zhou Keji slowly leaving, Xia Yu smiled satisfied. After sitting in his position for a while, he picked up the phone and called Liu Tianci, asking him to send someone to bring him the list of assets of the Carrian Group that he had endorsed, and instructed him to cooperate with Jiuding Securities, and wait until the Xiangjiang High Court announced the auction. After assets, be sure to take down the acquisition target he outlined. The reason why Liu Tianci was also involved was to consider that Sun Hung Kai Bank was a major creditor of the Carrian Group, and it also lent more than three billion Hong Kong dollars to it but did not recover it. As a major creditor, Sun Hung Kai Bank certainly has a certain priority for asset repayment, and it is also related to it. It can completely repay some assets in advance. It does not need to go through the asset auction process and can be directly traded at the assessed price. Save the cost of acquisition, but also save time. After talking to Liu Tianci, Xia Yu wanted to call Wang Qi, but after checking the time, it was less than 11 o''clock in the morning. He thought about it and left for Jiuding Securities. ps: The second update will be sent. Today, I will add another chapter. Continue to codewords, please ask for votes! v3 Chapter 1058: Swire consortium finally ended "Hello, Chairman!" "Well, hello!" When he came to Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu saw a busy scene. In the greetings of employees, he found Wang Qi who was busy. "Wang Qi, come to my office when you are done!" Seeing that Wang Qi wasn''t so fast for the time being, Xia Yu didn''t stop him either, and he told him before leaving. First, I went to the operation room and found that all the employees were devoting themselves to hunting down the stock market. Xia Yu left with satisfaction and went to his chairman''s office. After drinking the tea leisurely for about a quarter of an hour, I saw Wang Qi stepping in hastily. "Chairman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head to show that he didn''t mind, and then asked, "How is the work going?" Wang Qi replied: "It''s all going well. There are no major obstacles at the moment, and all the minor troubles have been resolved." Xia Yu nodded slightly: "That''s good!" Then he immediately asked: "How about the equity acquisition sites of the four major stock exchanges?" Wang Qi put it first in this acquisition work, so there was a lot of results. Faced with Xia Yu''s inquiry, he was not at all false. He reported the results to Xia Yu in detail: "Chairman, at present, the four major stock exchanges have acquired a lot of shares. The gold and silver exchanges and the Kowloon Stock Exchange have made greater progress, and the larger Far East Exchange and Hong Kong It¡¯s more difficult to acquire shares on the exchange, but there are still many results." "Currently holds 19.2% of the shares in the Gold and Silver Exchange, 18.5% in the Kowloon Stock Exchange, 13.3% in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and 100% in the Far East Exchange. Of 12.4 equity." "The reason why the Far East Exchange has acquired the fewest amount is because its lead founder Li Fuzhao saw that we were acquiring and was also acquiring equity, which made our acquisition more difficult." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said nonchalantly: "Don''t care about Li Fuzhao. Although the Bank of East Asia has lifted the run crisis, the funds have been taken away. Now the Li family does not have much liquidity, and the Li family will not let him here. He can¡¯t buy a lot of money. We buy more equity in the other three exchanges. Anyway, the last four mergers will re-divide the equity according to the size of the four exchanges." "The progress of the acquisition of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been slower. The shareholders of this exchange are more British. Now that the British capital has retreated, they must all want to return to the UK. They can serve them with carrots and sticks." Wang Qi couldn''t help but smile, nodded and responded softly: "Okay!" Xia Yu drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and then asked again: "What about the founding committee of the United Stock Exchange? Is there any major trouble?" Wang Qi smiled and replied with a relaxed look: "When we first entered, we were frightened by our power. The internal conflicts and confrontations within the committee had basically never happened. They gave me and President Liu face. Secretly, they are confronting negatively." "It''s just that I acquired the equity in the shareholders of the four major exchanges. After entering their internal board of directors, they also know our tough attitude and recognize the situation. So the situation is relatively good now. Advance order." "I have also learned a lot. The progress of the work is relatively slow now. The main reason is that there are big differences in system construction. There are many exchange templates in the United States and Europe. I plan to take the essence and eliminate the dross. However, many systems are Each has its pros and cons, and it is difficult to make a decision at a time." Xia Yu suddenly understood, and said with a faint smile: "Then do it first. I have been planning these days. I will come up with a guide plan as soon as possible, and then focus on my plan to do it." Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily: "Okay!" After understanding these circumstances, Xia Yu and Wang Qi ordered the acquisition of the assets of the Carrian Group, and let him be responsible for dispatching an excellent acquisition team to acquire the valuable assets of the Carrian Group together with Jiuding Bank. Of course Wang Qi accepted the task obediently. Later, Xia Yu once again urged him not to relax the acquisition of Swire Group and other bargain-hunting plans. Then left Jiuding Securities Company. ... Time passed quickly. Whether it was a weekday or a weekend, when the stock market was open or closed, the Jiuding Consortium¡¯s bottom-hunting and acquisitions were advancing rapidly. In the face of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in working capital, no company can resist to the end, and companies are constantly being taken down. The assets of Jiuding Consortium are growing rapidly! In order to quickly end the stock market crash, MacLehose urged the Xiangjiang High Court to close the case as soon as possible after ascertaining the facts. On the day of September 25, the court opened a trial to hear this huge financial fraud case. In order to give an explanation to the people of Hong Kong and to let investors in Southeast Asia know the situation, MacLehose signaled that the Hong Kong High Court authorized Global Satellite TV to broadcast the entire trial process. The citizens were very concerned about this matter, and many people turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast. The investigation was very clear, and all the relevant persons involved were recruited. The key point is that Chen Qingsong himself confessed his guilt later and took the initiative to explain a lot of circumstances. During the trial, Chen Qingsong, who was for the safety of his family, read all the true crimes to the judge. All the crimes and charges were claimed, and the judge finally pronounced that Chen Qingsong was sentenced to 25 years in prison and all his assets were confiscated to pay off the debt. Chen Qingsong announced in court to abandon the complaint and plead guilty. Seeing this result, the audience in front of the TV applauded. After the court hearing was completed, the asset disposal of the Carrian Group officially began, and the hunters who had already been waiting for it jumped out. But no surprise, all the assets Xia Yu wanted were eventually taken by Jiuding Securities and Jiuding Bank, and the price paid was not high. As for the debts of the Carrian Group, it has nothing to do with the assets he bought, and he does not need to bear it. After the assets were acquired, Xia Yu ordered Chen Qingsong''s wife, children and nephew to be released. After Chen Qingsong in prison got the news, he finally had a worry and went to jail honestly. After the assets of the Carrian Group were acquired. On October 15, the asset competition of the Swire Consortium finally came to an end. The main Swire Group in the Swire Consortium was wholly owned by Xia Yu. The most important Swire Properties Group under the Group was allocated by Jiuding Properties Group. Swire Infrastructure, Swire Properties Development Company, Swire Hotels Management Co., Ltd., Swire Property Management Co., Ltd., etc. were respectively owned by the same group of Jiuding Properties Group Company annexation. The Taikoo Warehouse Company, a subsidiary of Swire Shipping Group, was also wholly-owned by Hutchison Whampoa. Its four ports merged into Hutchison Whampoa Ports, which increased the number of ports owned by Hutchison Whampoa Ports from 17 to 20. One, occupies 87.5% of the 24 ports in Hong Kong! As for Swire Shipping, another listed company under the Swire Shipping Group, Xia Yu was not interested and did not fight for it. In addition, Xia Yu also ate the Swire Agricultural Group and the Swire Marine Development Company, which was just established in 1975. In general, most of the assets of the Swire Consortium were taken over by Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium. Swire Financial, the financial core of the Swire Group, because most of the funds were diverted to acquire a series of Swire Group stocks, but most of the funds were investors and banks, so all the assets were auctioned off. Swire Financial was declared insolvent. collapse. After the auction of the assets of the Swire Group and the Shi Yahuai family pledged by the bank, it was still not enough to offset the bank''s debt. Under the strong request of a large number of banks, it is useless to let the Shi Yahuai family leave. The Hong Kong government prohibits the Shi Yahuai family from leaving Hong Kong. After paying off the assets they still own, it is impossible to release the prohibition order. Seeing the fate of the Shi Yahuai family and the Taikoo Consortium, many people were sighed, and they had a deeper impression of the stock market crash, and of course they also had a deeper understanding of Xia Yu. The power of the Jiuding Consortium has reached a new height! PS: The third update is on, today we update eight thousand words! This chapter concludes this story. A new story will be opened next month. In addition, a new month will begin. Please guarantee the monthly pass! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1059: Bargaining assets with an original value of over RMB 0 billion "Chairman, this is a summary of the results reported by each company." In Jiuding Building, in Xia Yu''s office, Huo Jianning came in with a folder and presented it on Xia Yu''s desk. "Well, you put it down, go to your business first, and then call you if you have something to do." Xia Yu raised his head and glanced at Huo Jianning, then looked at the folder on the desktop, and then continued to write about the planning plan of the United Stock Exchange. "Ok!" Huo Jianning obediently responded softly. In order not to disturb Xia Yu, he stepped lightly and gently closed the door when he left. Half an hour later, Xia Yu put down the pen, gave a lazy waist, and let out a long breath. Looking at the plan that has been written a few pages, a curve of his mouth conjured up. After getting up and flexing his muscles, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it leisurely, picking up the folder that Huo Jianning handed over and flipping through it. This folder contains a list of assets acquired from the Swire Consortium and Carrian Group. For these, Xia Yu directly skips. He focused his attention on assets other than these two main entities, such as: Hang Seng Bank has a 25% stake. 10.8% of the Bank of East Asia. 18.6% of the shares of HSBC. Wing Lung Bank has a 35% stake. Chong Hing Bank holds 100% equity. Heung Kong Wing Hang Bank holds 100% equity. Malaysia Guangli Bank holds 100% equity. Heung Kong Telephone Company has a 24.5% stake. The Hong Kong branch of Great Eastern Telecom has a 31.3% stake. ... These assets are all high-quality assets, especially those of HSBC, Hang Seng Bank and Bank of East Asia. And Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company also completed the privatization at this time of downturn. In addition to a few percent of the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company, excluding the 20% fixed shareholding by the Hong Kong Government, the rest has been acquired and the absolute control of HeungKong Telephone Company has been completed. In addition to the equity held by the parent company and the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong branch of British Great Eastern Telecom Company has basically been acquired. As long as the parent company is dealt with and the equity of the Hong Kong branch is stripped out, it can complete the absolute control of the branch. In this case, the telecommunications market will be completely monopolized by Xia Yu. At the end, Xia Yu saw a series of aggregated numbers. Two hundred and twenty-five billion four hundred and seventy-five million Hong Kong dollars! This is the total amount of funds consumed by all assets that have been acquired! If you put it a few months ago, let''s not mention whether these assets can be bought or not. Even if they can be bought, it will be at a high premium. Don''t even think about hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars! Let alone the bright future of these companies. Sure enough, low-price bargaining is the best way to explosive development! And now the bargain hunting has not stopped, and the consumption of more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is the scope of the entire consortium. But think about the stock market crash, Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank have withdrawn nearly 15 billion Hong Kong dollars in total. Jiuding Securities has even more, and the liquidity before the stock market crash has reached more than 26.783 million Hong Kong dollars. These three companies have more than 40 billion circulating funds. Other companies have a lot of working capital. All the companies of the Jiuding Consortium only spent more than 20 billion in total. This is nowhere. The more eye-catching and attractive assets have been almost robbed, and the remaining valuable companies and assets are also covered more deeply. The volume is also smaller, and the subsequent capital consumption rate will continue to slow down. But it doesn''t matter, anyway, even if the outbreak period of the stock market crash has passed, as long as Xia Yu does not take the initiative to stimulate, there will be a long period of time in the economic downturn, enough to slowly acquire! After reading the list of assets, Xia Yu thought for a while and made a call to Jiuding Bank. He had to explain some things to Liu Tianci face to face. It takes a certain amount of time from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon Peninsula. In about twenty-five minutes, Liu Tianci rushed to Xia Yu''s office. "Chairman, sorry to keep you waiting." "It''s okay, sit down by yourself!" "Okay, Chairman, here are the three banks'' information you want." Liu Tianci replied, then opened the briefcase and presented the materials that Xia Yu told him on the phone just now. "Well, let me see first!" Having said that, Xia Yu flipped through the information of these three banks. They are Chong Hing Bank, Wing Hang Bank and Malaysia Guangli Bank, all of which were long-established medium-sized banks that were implicated in this crisis and were wholly acquired by Jiuding Bank. Among them, Chong Hing Bank, formerly known as Liao Chong Hing Bank, was founded in 1948 by the late banker Liao Baoshan. However, during the stock market crash in 1961, it was on the verge of bankruptcy due to a run crisis and was acquired by British capital for more than half of the equity, but it was unexpected for 20 years. Later, because of the run-on crisis, the British capital retreated, and the bank was wholly acquired by Jiuding Bank. Wing Hang Bank was founded by veteran banker Feng Jingyao in Yangcheng in 1937, and then moved to Xiangjiang after World War II. It fell into a crisis during the stock market crash in 1973 and was purchased by the Irvine Trust Company of New York in the United States for half of the shares and introduced advanced banking technology. Linked to the international banking industry, there is a large business market in Southeast Asia. Wing Hang Bank demolished its old headquarters and rebuilt it into a 20-story head office building last year, which is very impressive. Only this time Wing Hang Bank was dragged down by the Carrian Group and became a key run. Jiuding Bank seized the opportunity to buy back all the shares from the Hong Kong branch of the Irvine Trust Company in New York, and then bought the shares from other shareholders. Make it a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuding Bank. The last Malaysia Kwong Lee Bank, formerly Kwong Lee Mortgage and Remittance Company, established in Kuching, Sarawak in 1905, was renamed in 1934. It is the oldest financial institution in Malaysia, but it started to expand its business on a large scale the year before. Chen Qingsong''s Carrian Group seized the hard loan and scammed the Guangli Bank''s loan of more than 500 million yuan. Several branches of Guangli Bank''s Xiangjiang were madly withdrawn by Xiangjiang citizens. Although Guangli Bank has a long history, it is not as supported by the Malaysian finances as the Yumin Bank behind the Yumin Finance. Therefore, it fell into a crisis and Jiuding Bank spent a lot of effort to acquire it wholly. This bank, as Xia Yu knew, would have been acquired by Malaysia¡¯s business giant Ma Lian Industrial Group and renamed Ma Lian Bank, and later by the Hong Leong Group of the Star City Kuo¡¯s family, and changed to Hong Leong Bank, becoming Malaysia¡¯s No. The four major banks also have large markets in other countries in Southeast Asia. Jiuding Bank purchased Chong Hing Bank for HK$395 million, Wing Hang Bank for HK$457 million, and Guangli Bank for HK$523 million. If these three banks were to buy a few months before they were squeezed, each would cost at least one billion Hong Kong dollars. Now the price of cabbage has been bought after the crisis. Thinking of the previous purchase of 7.8% of the Swire Group¡¯s shares held by Star City Qiu Deba, he had promised Qiu Deba to take out a bank worth more than one billion Hong Kong dollars for equivalent replacement. The bank also has to cover Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Xia Yu decided to use these three banks to trap the Qiu Family in Star City, his ally of choice. After putting down the information, Xia Yu instructed Liu Tianci: "God, now that these three banks are all available, you can take a moment to think about integrating these three banks into one bank Liu Tianci knows that the chairman and Qiu The agreement between Durbar nodded and replied: "Okay, I''ll start this when I go back. " Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "You don''t have to spend too much time on it for the time being, just let the people below do it, and don''t merge too quickly, as long as you finish it before June next year." This strange order from the chairman made Liu Tianci stunned, but he didn''t question it either. He nodded obediently and said, "Okay." Xia Yu smiled and took the initiative to explain: "The total purchase price of the three banks is less than 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now that it is used to fulfill the contract, the Qiu family can obtain more than 40% of the equity, which is too much. The results of bargaining do not have to allow the Qiu family to sit back and relax. The banking industry will gradually recover in June next year and the effects of the merger of the three banks will be visible. It will be more cost-effective to fulfill the promises after the value increases." Liu Tianci suddenly nodded with a smile and said, "Chairman, you still want to be more thorough. I will follow your instructions and strive to maximize the effectiveness and value of the three banks by June next year." "Ok!" "You can figure it out." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said casually. Later, Xia Yu told Liu Tianci about some considerations for the acquisition, and also talked to him about the establishment of the United Stock Exchange, and asked him to return to Jiuding Bank. ps: Explain to everyone that the daytime hours are basically consumed in the hospital today. Over the past two years is the norm. I have been sitting for a long time with codewords. Multiple factors have caused multiple damage to the body, such as the heart, chest, lumbar spine, cervical spine and thighs. I was uncomfortable for a while. I muster my courage to go to the city for a comprehensive inspection tomorrow morning. It is estimated that the inspection will be completed on Friday the day after tomorrow, so I have to ask everyone for leave tomorrow and come back on Friday to update again. Please forgive me, my life is important. v3 Chapter 1060: The mainland sent another invitation That night, Xia Yu went to Huo Yingdong''s home. He urgently received a call from Huo Yingdong during the day, saying that there were some things he wanted to talk to him in person, and of course he agreed. At around six o''clock in the evening, Xia Yu arrived at Huo Ying''s home. "Old Huo, haven''t anyone else arrived yet?" After putting down the fruit, Xia Yu glanced at the empty living room and asked casually. Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "There is no one else tonight, just the two of us." Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, realizing that Huo Yingdong was looking for him tonight is not easy, he smiled lightly and said: "That''s fine, I haven''t chatted with you quietly for a long time, haha." "It''s been a long time." "Sit down and have a cup of tea. Dinner will take about 20 minutes." Huo Yingdong smiled cheerfully, and then greeted Xia Yu to take his seat. "Ok!" Xia Yu replied and sat on the sofa on Huo Yingdong''s left to facilitate a close chat. "Old Huo, how did you get this time?" Peeling a peanut casually and throwing it into his mouth, Xia Yu looked at Huo Yingdong with a smile, and asked about his bargaining. As soon as he heard this, Huo Yingdong couldn''t help but smiled. Obviously, the harvest during this time was very great. His next words confirmed this. "A Yu, thanks to your informing me in advance, I have gained a lot." "You tell me, before the stock market crash, I had already made more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars from stock trading, cashed out at a high level of 2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and then raised 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars." "With this 4.5 billion in funds, I have spent more than a month after the stock market crash, I have spent 3.7 billion, and bought a lot of companies. Among them, the property and building alone have bought 14 transactions. A small plot of land was purchased for 79 yuan. Before the stock market crash, none of these assets could be bought for more than 10 billion yuan. They did make a profit." "For the remaining funds, I plan to continue to buy some companies in the electronics, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries, which fits with your proposed industrial development strategy of building a''one core, six pillars'' for Xiangjiang." Xia Yu smiled and said: "Just make a profit, and to be honest, now is the best time for transformation. This stock market crash has cleaned up a large number of companies with weak competitiveness, integrated these companies at low prices, and developed for a few years. The strength is up, and Xiangjiang¡¯s economy has recovered, which is just right." Huo Yingdong nodded in agreement: "You are right. For those who are prepared, this stock market crash is a good time for explosive growth and can open a relatively large gap with others." "Zheng Yu and them want to catch up with me, it''s hard..." At the end, Huo Yingdong couldn''t help laughing. Xia Yu also laughed. The strength of his allies is stronger, and the place of shipment will be more useful in the future. ... At around eight o''clock, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong, who had finished their dinner, changed places to continue drinking tea. Only this time, Huo Yingdong did not allow his son to listen in. Obviously some things were not convenient for his son to know. After Xia Yu drank a cup of tea to soothe, Huo Yingdong poured Xia Yu tea again, and slowly said: "A Yu, in fact, inviting you to come tonight in addition to contacting the relationship, there is one more thing." Xia Yu nodded slightly and looked at Huo Yingdong calmly, waiting for his next words. Huo Yingdong smiled and continued: "The decision on this matter is up to you. I was only asked by the Xinhua News Agency''s President Wang to pass on a message on my behalf." "Last month there was news from the north, and then it was mixed with the stock market crash. Now you know the situation in Xiangjiang, so the mainland wants to see when you have time and if you can take a trip north." "As for the situation of going there is not fixed, whether you go in secret or openly, or we can call a group of people to go together, it mainly depends on whether you are free." "In my opinion, after the mainland chanted the slogan, it wanted to start practicing, but before showing the sword to the UK, it wanted to win our local opinions, especially you." "A Yu, it''s up to you to go or not, and it''s up to you to decide when to go. I just need to convey your opinion." Xia Yu nodded thoughtfully and said softly: "Let me think about it." After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the tea cup, took a breath, and drank slowly, but his dreamy eyes could tell that his mind was not on the tea. Although Huo Yingdong''s words were euphemistic, he clarified a real situation. That is, Xia Yu has become Xiangjiang''s economic leader and the face of Xiangjiang. His words and deeds will be magnified and interpreted. And because his career has affected all aspects of Xiangjiang, he has become the most important figure in Xiangjiang! Therefore, before the mainland wants to act, it is undoubtedly the best to communicate with him first, and even once the mainland receives his full support, things will go smoother. Although Huo Yingdong didn''t say why the mainland invited him to go north, Xia Yu, who was familiar with the historical trajectory, was clear in his heart. So the question is, are you going to the mainland at this time? Thinking of myself preparing to go to the UK, and what I must achieve when I go to the UK... At this time, the mainland sent out an invitation again, and it might be a good idea to go to the mainland... After all, even if the mainland does not ask him to do something , in order to build the foundation of Xiangjiang and build his nest more stable, there are some things he has decided to do. The stability and prosperity of Xiangjiang have the most direct interest relationship with him. The next ten years will be a very critical period. Having a stable rear can make him more able to use his hands and feet to break hands with other consortia in the world. It''s just that the mainland didn''t know his plan. If it knew, it wouldn''t invite him. It just happens to bring personal affection! Then delay a few more days and go north! After making up his mind, Xia Yu drank the hot tea in his cup. Huo Yingdong, who had been watching Xia Yu, lifted his spirits and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, waiting for his answer. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "Old Huo, tell President Wang that I will go there, but I can go alone. I don¡¯t need to conceal it or make a statement. The reason for going north is to check my business in the mainland and Ancestor worship." Huo Yingdong smiled: "Okay, then I will reply to them." "Right, what''s the time?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "As far as time is concerned, it will be three days later, because my cousin gets married the day after tomorrow, and I get the show." Huo Yingdong''s eyes were slightly bright, and he smiled and nodded and said: "There is a happy event in the family, so it should be in the front." He asked again: "What is your cousin''s name? Where are you going to have a wedding?" "His name is Chen Bin, and the wedding banquet will be held at the Peninsula Hotel..." Xia Yu knew that Huo Yingdong wanted to come and cheer, and there was no need to refuse this kind of thing. He smiled and said it. Huo Yingdong didn''t say much, smiled and nodded, "Okay." ps: I''m sorry, there are too many physical problems. I ended up with six departments. It took four days before and after seeing the doctor. Now I feel uncomfortable after sitting for more than ten minutes. I couldn''t write it yesterday. I resume the update today. ~: Update tomorrow, not finished tonight As we approached the National Poverty Alleviation Census, I took many days off last week. I had to eat cold meals by myself. When Monday was the most troublesome time, I had to work overtime until 9 o''clock. After taking a shower, I wrote more than 1,000. The word, the pain is really uncomfortable, the pain has spread from the chest to the right arm, I don''t dare to stay up all night, I can only continue to code the word tomorrow, everyone rest early, good night https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1061: Return to the ancestral land Two days passed in a flash. On October 17, it is suitable to open business, settle in bed, pray for blessings, and get married... Because my cousin got married today, Xia Yu didn''t plan to go to the company after eating breakfast. When the time was almost time, he set off with his younger siblings. As for his parents, he has been asked by his uncle Chen Liang to help. Although Xiangjiang has inherited many traditional customs of the mainland, as a place where China and the West meet, many customs will vary from person to person. When Xia Yu arrived, he suddenly saw the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, in addition to his cousin and the newlyweds receiving guests, he also saw his uncle and another well-dressed middle-aged man, who should be the woman''s father. Xia Yu took his younger siblings and there were three, but he was accompanied by a bodyguard. As soon as he walked on the red carpet, he immediately attracted the attention of many people, but Xia Yu was wearing sunglasses and many people did not recognize him immediately . But uncle Chen Liang and cousin Chen Bin would not fail to recognize them. Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Chen Liang''s uncle Chen Liang quickly greeted him with a smile on his face. Chen Bin and today''s bride Li Lan followed along, leaving Li Lan''s father Li Tenghui in place. "A Yu, A Ming, Xiao Mei, you are here!" "Cousin, cousin, welcome to you!" "Cousin, cousin is so beautiful, just like a fairy!" Xia Xiaomei''s mouth was very sweet, which made Li Lan smile. "The bride is very temperamental, cousin, you two match well!" "Cousin, happy wedding! A hundred years of good harmony!" Xia Yu smiled and handed a red envelope to his cousin Chen Bin. It contained a bank card. The money in the card was not too much, only six or nine, which meant a long time. "Thank you!" "A Yu, please go in and sit inside. Your parents are there to help Zhang Luo. You can see it when you enter." Gathering at the door is not good, and after a few simple words, Uncle Chen Liang asked Xia Yu to come in. When passing by Li Tenghui, facing Li Tenghui''s smile, Xia Yu smiled back. When Xia Yu brought in with his younger siblings and bodyguards, Li Tenghui, who was curious, immediately asked Chen Liang: "My nephew, your nephew looks familiar. He doesn¡¯t recognize who he is wearing sunglasses. He goes out with a bodyguard. Very unusual!" Chen Liang and his son Chen Bin looked at each other, thinking that after today, they might not be able to hide it. Later, Xia Yu would definitely be arranged to sit at the middle table. He straightened his back and said proudly to Li Tenghui: "My nephew, you should have heard the name, he is Xia Yu." "Xia Yu?" Li Tenghui was taken aback, but didn''t react for a while. He subconsciously looked at Xia Yu and his group who were about to disappear from sight, and then at Chen Liang, who was full of red faces. An unbelievable thought flashed in his mind, swallowed, and stammered and asked: " In-law... is that stock **** Xia Yu? Jiuding... the one from the consortium?" Chen Liang glowed red, nodded proudly, and said affirmatively: "It''s him!" "Oh my God!" Hearing Chen Liang''s answer, Li Tenghui only felt a buzz in his mind, and exclaimed in disbelief, his heart beating extremely fast. He asked incredulously: "Is he really your nephew? My dear?" Chen Liang nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course it''s a nephew, I''m just an older sister, don''t you know that my brother-in-law''s surname is Xia!" Chen Bin also said at this time: "Dad, A Yu is indeed my cousin, I can open Hengcheng Industry Company, or the initial capital he lent me, and the orders he received were also given to me. Without him, I I can¡¯t start my career either." Although Chen Bin honestly pushed all his achievements to Xia Yu, Li Tenghui didn''t look down on him at all. Instead, his eyes were bright, and Chen Bin''s eyes looked like a golden turtle. He turned out to be the in-laws of the stock god! At this moment, Li Lan pulled Chen Bin''s sleeves and whispered to him: "My dear, someone is here again. Is it your guest?" When Chen Bin took a look, his eyes widened, and seeing the highly discerning face, he quickly said to his father Chen Liang and father-in-law Li Tenghui: "Dad, is that Huo Daheng?" Chen Liang and Li Tenghui looked over immediately, and Li Tenghui was instantly certain that the one who came with the bodyguard was definitely the tycoon Huo Yingdong! And the tycoon Bao Yugang who came with him! And these two people walked straight towards them. "In-law, did you invite these two bigwigs?" Li Tenghui immediately asked Chen Liang in a low voice. Chen Liang shook his head blankly and denied, "I don''t have one!" Seeing Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong walking towards them, Chen Bin whispered: "I heard that Huo Daheng and Bao Daheng have a very good relationship with A Yu. Will it be because of A Yu¡¯s face? ?" Chen Liang and Li Tenghui looked at each other, and then they immediately brought Chen Bin and Li Lan to greet them. "Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao, welcome you!" "Haha, Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, congratulations!" "I also congratulate the two handsome men and women on the tie!" While congratulating Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, they also handed red envelopes respectively. Chen Liang and Li Tenghui took them with flattering expressions, and thanked them again and again. "Mr. Chen, was Xia Yu in just now?" "Yes, two gentlemen, let me take you in!" Chen Liang said immediately, and then after Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong agreed, he took the two of them and walked in. Li Tenghui looked at the backs of the two big men, feeling that the whole person was floating, which was too unreal... ... At the wedding scene, the man''s guest level was relatively low and his knowledge was not so broad, but Li Tenghui, as a multimillionaire in the New Territories, had a higher network of contacts. In addition, the excited Li Tenghui showed off in a low-key manner, and the news that Xia Yu, Bao Yugang, and Huo Yingdong attended his daughter''s wedding personally shocked the guests. It''s just that the protagonists of today''s wedding are the two newlyweds. Xia Yu and others are very low-key. The three gathered together and chatted quietly, making people afraid to come over and disturb. After the wedding, Xia Yu deliberately learned about his cousin¡¯s current situation and learned that his Hengcheng Industry Company has nearly 8 million assets. In addition to supplying his Jiuding Toy Company, he also opened up other businesses, and his career is gradually moving towards grow. As long as Chen Bin does not make mistakes, and with his backing, there is great hope for the Chen family to become a wealthy family in the future. After the wedding, Xia Yu simply packed up his things and took his family with him and headed north! According to the route plan, in order to save time, Xia Yu will go directly to his ancestral land in Qianzhou City, Gan Province. As for the relevant person in charge of Jiuzhou Industrial Group, he will wait for him in Qianzhou City and report related work when he has free time. When Xia Yu¡¯s motorcade entered the boundary of Jiangxi Province, the former old acquaintance Wu Siming, Deputy Governor Wu, took the heads of Qianzhou City and Longfeng County to personally receive Xia Yu. After several jeeps were merged into the motorcade, they sent to Nanshi, Longfeng County, Qianzhou City. Drive to Zhenxia Village. Compared with two years ago, Longfeng County has undergone great changes. The minimum roads have been repaired. The county roads are flatter and wider. Obviously, some thought has been spent on it and the local area. Moreover, the establishment of the Kyushu Fruit Company in Longfeng County has also prompted Qianzhou City makes every effort to improve the environment of Longfeng County. When Xia Yu entered Nanshi Town, he felt that the changes were more obvious. Along the road, many mountains were reclaimed. The mountains are yellow and green orchards. Father Xia, who had been fishing for food at sea for half his life, hadn''t seen this kind of orchard strip, and asked Xia Yu curiously: "A Yu, how come those mountain slopes look like this? Are there any fruit trees planted?" Xia Yu smiled and explained to his father: "Dad, that is a strip of navel orange trees. I have a company called Kyushu Fruit Company. It has been stationed here for almost two years, leading the local development of the navel orange planting industry. The people of the ancestral land are looking for a way to make a fortune." Xia Dahai happily said: "A Yu, you are doing this well, it is much better than giving money directly!" Xia Yu smiled and looked out the car window, but his thoughts flew to Xia Village a few kilometers away in advance. I don¡¯t know what Xia Village and the people he cares about after two years of coming... PS: There will not be too many plots on the mainland. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1062: Fruit Industry Company and Qianzhou University When the motorcade of Xia Yu and others was about to enter Xia Village, he saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village. It was uncle Xia Anshan and others. After stopping the car, Xia Yu''s family was warmly welcomed by the villagers in Xia Village. "Uncle, uncle, it''s been a long time!" "This is my father Xia Dahai, my mother Chen Mei, and these are my brother Xia Ming and sister Xia Xiaomei." "Parents, this is Patriarch Xia Anshan." Xia Yu smiled and introduced to both parties. In the car, Xia Yu has already talked about some of Xia Village''s relationship with his parents in detail, especially Xia Anshan, the most important character, and even touched on the relationship. So Xia Dahai immediately used Gangpu to say hello to Xia Anshan: "According to the kinship, I should call you cousin, I am A Yu''s father Xia Dahai!" "A Yu told me about you, thank you for letting our family recognize the ancestor and return to the clan!" Xia Anshan laughed happily, and said hurriedly: "I''m all from my own family, so I''m not unfamiliar, calling you the sea." "The words of thanks should be for us. It is our blessing to have able people to return to our hometown. Moreover, A Yu also repaired bridges, paving roads, built schools for us, and led the people to make a fortune. This kindness is greater than God!" Although Xia Dahai was very happy, he still said modestly: "Uncle, they are all a family. A Yu has this ability, and Fuze''s hometown should also." Xia Anshan shook his head and smiled: "Where is the right thing to do..." ... After chatting briefly for a while, Xia Anshan greeted Xia Yu and others and officials to enter the village. For a time, laughter and joy rang out in the ancestral hall. Eating dried peanuts and drinking local camellia, Xia Yu asked about the current situation of Xia Village. "Uncle, when I came, I saw the changes in the village were quite big. How is the life of the big guy?" As soon as these words came out, the local parents and officials sitting aside immediately became nervous, for fear that Xia Anshan could not say anything, and Xia Yu would have opinions. Xia Anshan smiled openly and said cheerfully, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a good time. As far as the roads and bridges in our village are the best in Longfeng County, it is very convenient to go to the town. Children can also go to school in the village¡¯s elementary school. , The government arranges very capable teachers..." "Last year, the government contracted land to households, and now every household is planted with navel oranges on the mountains, and there is also guidance from your company and experts. Although there is no result yet, the fruit trees are growing very well. Everyone is looking forward to it. You can help your company take care of fruit trees and make money by doing work on the mountain in your own home..." As the leader of the family and the secretary of Xia Village, Xia Anshan couldn''t stop talking about various good changes in the village. Many villagers in the ancestral hall echoed from time to time. Although it seemed a bit noisy, whether it was Xia Yu, Wu Siming and others, they all listened with gusto. As for Xia Anshan''s government policy of contracting land to households, Xia Yu actually knew about it when he was in Xiangjiang last year. It should be because of his proposal, and the changes in Xiaogang Village were seen in 1979, so the household contract responsibility system came out two years in advance, allowing the mainland''s productivity to be released ahead of schedule. After Xia Anshan finished speaking, Xia Yu asked curiously: "Uncle, who has the most fruit trees in the village now?" Without waiting for Xia Anshan''s answer, someone in the surrounding crowd shouted and answered: "It is Xia Xinhua''s family that has the most fruit trees, planting 20 mu of fruit trees!" Xia Anshan also smiled and nodded and said: "Xia Xinhua is the most determined and aggressive, planting more than a thousand fruit trees." "Xinhua, take a stool and sit here." Soon, Xia Xinhua in the crowd was sitting next to him with a silly smile. Seeing the grandfather of the previous life with a simple smile and a grateful look at himself, Xia Yu smiled and said to him: "Uncle, can you manage more than a thousand trees?" Xia Xinhua said hurriedly: "It''s okay. Most of the time, there are more management places. Sometimes when you are out of the office, you can''t be busy, so you can ask the folks for help. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, looked at him, looked at everyone, and said, "Uncle, and everyone, you can rest assured that I will solve the sales problem here, and I will ensure that everyone can make money and live a good life. day!" "it is good!" "..." As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, the ancestral hall remembered the loud cheers and applause, and the atmosphere in the ancestral hall became more enthusiastic. After eating a hearty lunch, Xia Yu''s family went to worship their ancestors under the leadership of Xia Anshan. When paying homage to the ancestors, Father Xia, who was in his forties, was in love with the scene and choked for a while. It was the turmoil of the local feelings dissolved in blood. After worshipping the ancestors, Xia Yu''s family returned to Xia Village''s home, which was an antique rural manor. This manor with a yard was built after Xia Yu left last time. Zhang Sanjun, the general manager of Kyushu Fruit Industry Co., Ltd., was responsible for tracking the construction. According to Xia Yu''s understanding, the villagers spontaneously helped when building this manor. He refused to pay for anything. After a rest for a night, Xia Yu''s family, some tribesmen in the village, and officials, went to the planting base of Kyushu Fruit Co., Ltd. About forty minutes later, the group came to the planting base and saw the management of the fruit company waiting there. The leader was Zhang Sanjun, the general manager of the fruit company. For Zhang Sanjun, Xia Yu has seen him several times, but because Zhang Sanjun has a mole on his face, which is very discernible, Xia Yu has a deep impression of him. "Hi boss!" "Hello leaders!" "Oh hello!" "Three armed forces, it is up to you to take us to the base to see." "Okay, please follow me." After that, Zhang Sanjun led everyone to the planting base, and the mountains and plains were full of navel orange fruit trees. While walking, Zhang Sanjun introduced the company to Xia Yu. "Boss, now our company has planted a total of 50,000 mu of navel oranges in Longfeng County, and there is also a super-large seedling base. We plan to test fruit next year, and the full results will be formally completed the next year. Our plan is to build a new year in the next year. An industry group with an output value of one billion..." "In order to finely manage our 50,000 mu of navel oranges, we have hired more than 4,000 farmers..." "In order to better develop the navel orange industry, the company has now launched the industrial chain building plan, preparing to build a special packaging plant, a high-end juice production plant, a super-large fruit sorting plant, and a super-large storage warehouse... ¡­" After Zhang Sanjun''s introduction, Xia Yu gave him enough affirmation: "Your plan is well done. Navel orange planting is a long-term local industry. Our company must play a leading role. We must not patronize and make money, but must also take on social responsibility. responsibility." As for Zhang Sanjun''s one-billion-dollar industry cluster, Xia Yu also expressed his approval after calculating it in his mind. The company¡¯s planting and the scattered navel oranges grown by the villagers in Xia Village add up to more than 50,000 mu. As long as the fruit is officially produced in the next year, all the navel oranges are used for export, instead of selling the more than 30 pieces that were sold at the Xiangjiang exhibition in the previous years. A pound, even one-tenth of the price, can make the output value reach one billion yuan. With his strength in the field of retail and super business, he can digest it, sales and making money are not a problem, and he is more concerned about the positive impact of the fruit industry company on the local area. Compared with his reputation and image, this amount of money is self-evident. "What you taught!" Zhang Sanjun replied humbly. When Wu Siming and others accompanied Xia Yu heard Xia Yu''s words, they all showed knowing smiles. "Did you encounter any major problems during the planting process?" Xia Yu stopped in front of a navel orange sapling more than 60 centimeters high, stroking the dark green leaves, carefully observing whether there were any diseases and insect pests, and after confirming that there were none, he looked at Zhang Sanjun and asked. Faced with Xia Yu¡¯s calm gaze, Zhang Sanjun didn¡¯t intend to say anything but truthfully replied: ¡°Boss, after all, it¡¯s the first time for large-scale navel orange cultivation. We encountered many difficulties in this process, but fortunately the government gave us tremendous support. ." "Now the National Navel Orange Research Center has been established. The head of the research center is Professor Zhang Wencai. He is also the first expert hired by our company. Under his guidance, all the problems encountered have been resolved." "Professor Zhang Wencai?" Xia Yu frowned, looked at Zhang Sanjun, then Wu Siming and others. "Professor Zhang Wencai took the research team up the mountain early in the morning. He is on the mountain now, and I should be able to see it later." Zhang Sanjun replied immediately. Wu Siming added at this time: "Mr. Xia, I know Professor Zhang Wencai. He is a top scientist in agriculture and horticulture. He is one of the founders of the national citrus science. He is 77 years old this year and can be described as a national treasure. To build the navel orange industry in Qianzhou, the state has issued relevant guidelines and arranged for him to come to Qianzhou. He is currently the head of the National Navel Orange Research Center and the dean of the College of Horticulture at Qianzhou University." Xia Yu smiled and said with a smile: "Thank you for the support of the country. Professor Zhang is here. The navel orange industry in Qianzhou will definitely develop, and there is also the most advanced production, education and research system here. I can solve this problem on the market side. I believe In two years, Qianzhou¡¯s navel oranges will surely be able to successfully rush to the world and make contributions to local people and the country." Wu Siming laughed happily and flattered: "All this is inseparable from Mr. Xia''s support for his hometown. On behalf of the folks in Qianzhou, I thank Mr. Xia!" "With the support of compatriots with patriotism like Mr. Xia, why not worry about the country not prospering!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, and said modestly: "Mr. Wu, I didn''t do anything." ... After going up the mountain, Xia Yu met Professor Zhang Wencai with silver hair. He was standing in front of a navel orange tree and teaching a group of young people. After Xia Yu met him, he chatted with him. And Xia Yu''s family and clan members looked at the nearby strips, especially Xia Ming and Xia Xiaomei, who had eaten navel oranges but never saw the navel orange tree, and they felt very fresh about everything. After visiting the base around eleven, Xia Yu returned with his family with satisfaction. After eating at home at noon, he bid farewell to his parents and asked his parents and younger siblings to stay in Xia Village temporarily, and he set off for the downtown area of ??Qianzhou. In order to go to the capital in a hurry, he immediately visited the Qianzhou University donated by him, accompanied by Wu Siming and others. Two years later, Qianzhou University has been established. According to Wu Siming''s introduction, in order to make Qianzhou University a better start, Gan Province directly merged several old colleges in Qianzhou into Qianzhou University, and Tsinghua University, Yanjing University, Fudan University and other universities They also excluded a strong team of professors from assisting in the construction of Qianzhou University in accordance with the instructions of the state. And in order to have a better source of students for Qianzhou University, the National Television Station and related newspapers have carried out many publicity on Qianzhou University, making Qianzhou University one of the most popular universities for college entrance examination. Now Qianzhou University has not only recruited a group of freshmen, but also students from sophomores to seniors. The school¡¯s environmental facilities and teaching atmosphere are very good. After a visit, Xia Yu was in a good mood and decided on the spot. The donation of 50 million RMB to Qianzhou University again for the construction of the school and the purchase of top-level scientific research facilities made Wu Siming and the president of Qianzhou University laugh from ear to ear, and thank Xia Yu again and again. After two days, what Qianzhou saw and heard made Xia Yu very satisfied. Under his interference, this hometown of his past and present is full of hope! After dinner that evening, Xia Yu got on a special train that went straight to the capital... v3 Chapter 1063: Seems to have found a treasure Although the various decorations inside the special train are top-notch, the railways in the 1980s are indeed inferior to later generations, and it is really annoying to stay on the train for a long time. Fortunately, the train did not need to stop for the whole journey, so it took 18 hours. At about 12 noon the next day, the train arrived at Guodu Railway Station. As soon as Xia Yu got off the train, he was warmly welcomed on the platform by Director Liu Zhihe and others who had been waiting for a long time. "Mr. Xia, you are welcome to come to Guodu again. The bumpy train made you suffer. Please forgive me!" Xia Yu shook hands with Liu Zhihe, and Feng Qingyun smiled lightly: "Everything I suffer is from a poor family. The train is much more comfortable than the boat I took when I was young." "I want to say forgive me. I''m really embarrassed to ask you to pick me up on another trip." Liu Zhihe hurriedly said: "Mr. Xia, you are our distinguished guest. We should give you the highest reception. Now the conditions here are simple, so you don''t want to blame it." "No, no..." After a few simple greetings, the feeling of strangeness that hadn''t been seen in two years gradually melted away. Liu Zhihe asked Xia Yu to get on the bus, and the convoy went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse where Xia Yu stayed two years ago. After Xia Yu had a perfect lunch, Xia Yu took a walk in the garden of the Diaoyutai State Guest House, while Liu Zhihe accompanied Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, the meeting time is set at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Do you have any plans for this afternoon? If so, please tell me, and I will make every effort to arrange it." After walking for a while, Liu Zhihe said to Xia Yu when he reached the pavilion. Xia Yu was one of the distinguished guests of the mainland. During Xia Yu¡¯s time in the capital, Liu Zhihe had only two tasks. One was to be a liaison officer, and the second was to accompany Xia Yu so that he could stay in the capital. Get comfortable. As mentioned above, as long as Xia Yu''s request is not a violation of principle, he will do his best to satisfy him, and he has obtained special approval, and he can let other departments cooperate fully at any time. Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "Director Liu, can you take me out and stroll around the imperial capital." Liu Zhihe said without hesitation: "Of course no problem!" "Go now?" "Yeah!" Xia Yu nodded in response. After that, Liu Zhihe immediately arranged a vehicle to carry Xia Yu and began to wander around the imperial capital. The imperial capital of 81 years is very different from the later generations. There is no steel jungle for later generations. There are basically several floors of houses on both sides of the road. There are basically no cars on the empty roads, and there are few motorcycles. The basic capital is full of streets. It''s twenty-eight bars. Unlike Pengcheng in the south of the mainland, there are already many cars on the road. Regarding the current situation of the imperial capital, Xia Yu can understand that although it has been three years since the announcement of reform and opening up, the emperor is a special existence. It is the center of political power in the country. People with different positions on the issue of economic development Too much, the older generation¡¯s ideas have been deeply rooted and cannot be changed easily. "Hey, is this coming to Tiananmen Square soon?" Looking at some familiar roads, Xia Yu looked from a distance and said with some surprise. Liu Zhihe, who was sitting next to him, immediately said, "Yes, it is already going to Tiananmen Square, Mr. Xia, do you want to park there?" Xia Yugang wanted to say yes. Suddenly he saw a special building. He immediately asked Liu Zhihe, "Director Liu, where is it?" "Oh, there is the Chinese Revolutionary History Museum, which was formed by the merger of the Chinese Revolutionary Museum and the Chinese History Museum in 1969." Liu Zhihe followed Xia Yu''s gaze and immediately replied. Xia Yu suddenly became interested and said to Liu Zhihe: "Director Liu, let''s go there and have a look." "Ok!" "Park in front of the museum!" Liu Zhihe responded and immediately ordered the soldier who was driving. Soon, the red flag car stopped in front of the Chinese Revolutionary History Museum. After Xia Yu got off the bus, he entered the museum under the leadership of Liu Zhihe. At the same time, Liu Zhihe also invited the owner of the museum, Yan Sihai, a fifty-year-old man with eyes to introduce the museum to Xia Yu. Under Yan Sihai¡¯s introduction, Xia Yu learned about the China Revolutionary History Museum. The National Museum in front of Tiananmen originated from the National History Museum, which was built in 1912. It was later renamed as the Peking History Museum of China Academy of Sciences in 1929. After the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, it was renamed the Imperial Capital History Museum. In 1958, the country decided to establish the Huaxia History Museum on this basis, and then merged with the Huaxia Revolution Museum in September 1969, which is what it now looks like. As the National Museum in front of Tiananmen Square, it represents the face of Chinese culture to a large extent. After all, when foreigners come to the imperial capital, Tiananmen Square is almost a must. Therefore, the collection in the China Revolutionary History Museum is very rich. In addition to the historical relics related to the revolution, there are also very rich historical relics. In Xia Yu''s view, there are not a few national treasures, which can definitely surpass the current Kowloon Cultural Museum~www .novelhall.com~Walking, he stopped in front of a door, and looked at the words hanging on the door, he was a little surprised. I saw five words written on it-Foreign Guest Service Department. Seeing Xia Yu stop, Yan Sihai took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Xia, Director Liu, this foreign guest service department mainly receives foreign guests and sells some painter''s paintings." Xia Yu was a little surprised: "The museum still sells paintings. Are they ancient or modern?" Faced with Xia Yu¡¯s unintentional problem, Yan Sihai was a little embarrassed, but Liu Zhihe was here. He also realized that this was an opportunity to ask for funds to improve the status quo of the museum, so he immediately said: "Mr. Xia, we are a museum, ancient paintings They will certainly not be sold here. The main ones sold here are modern paintings, which provide a place for artists from the Academy of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Association to sell calligraphy and painting." ¡°Artists also have to live. The foreign guests who come to visit do not understand the situation in our country. Many foreign guests will propose to buy some culture to take back. So we cooperate with artists so that the artists can make a living and the museum can earn some money. Funds are used to receive foreign guests." When Yan Sihai said this, Liu Zhihe''s expression was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Xia Yu subconsciously and found that Xia Yu didn''t care, but showed interest on his face. And at this time, Xia Yu really came to be interested. There were many masters among artists at this time. Masters like Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong are no longer there, but masters like Zhang Daqian, Li Kuchan, and Li Keran are still alive. I don¡¯t know if there are any of their calligraphy and paintings! If so, how much is the selling price now? Thinking of the paintings of these masters in later generations reaching tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, he felt a little eager to move. Will there be a treasure in it? Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately said to Yan Sihai: "Chairman Yan, can I go in and have a look?" v3 Chapter 1064: Qi Baishis shrimp sells for 200 yuan? "Of course no problem, please!" After speaking, Yan Sihai said a please gesture, and then took Xia Yu, Liu Zhihe and others into it. After turning a few turns along the corridor, Xia Yu found that this was another building, equivalent to the annex of the China Revolutionary History Museum. In addition to the guest house and restaurant, there was also a special calligraphy and painting exhibition hall. The calligraphy and painting exhibition hall is exactly where Xia Yu''s goal is. After walking into the Progress Hall, the scene in front of him made Xia Yu''s eyes bright. I saw many people standing in the huge exhibition hall. Except for a dozen foreigners, most of them were elderly people of a certain age, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the walls. Xia Yu glanced, and conservatively estimated that there were at least a few hundred calligraphy and paintings hanging in this huge exhibition hall. It''s a boutique! Xia Yu walked straight to the front of a painting. It was an ink painting. It was a group of shrimps cruising, with different postures, lifelike and full of charm. He painted the shrimps walking calmly and lively and''happy in it''. The beauty of emotion and poetry. This shrimp is well drawn! Xia Yu looked at the words and the red seal in the lower right corner again. There are not many words, only two, but it makes Xia Yu''s eyes bright. Shiraishi! There is a square red seal under the word. There are not many lines in the word, but Xia Yu can still tell that the upper left corner is the stone word, and the lower right corner is the white word. This is Qi Baishi''s chapter! Sure enough, the introduction of Yan Sihai that sounded at this time confirmed Xia Yu''s judgment. "Mr. Xia, this painting is by Mr. Qi Baishi. There are hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi in our museum. Because of the area of ??the exhibition hall, only a dozen are displayed. The size of this one is considered medium." Hearing that the museum had collected hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi, Xia Yu was a little surprised and curiously asked: "Then what is the price for this painting by Mr. Qi Baishi?" Yan Sihai immediately said, "This painting is sold for two hundred yuan?" Xia Yu stared slightly, thinking he had heard it wrong, looked at Yan Sihai, and asked again: "Two hundred yuan?" Yan Sihai thought that Xia Yu was too expensive, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Qi Baishi¡¯s paintings are indeed at this price, mainly because his old man has passed away for more than 20 years, and his paintings are sold for one less than one. , And his old man¡¯s reputation is relatively large, so the price is more expensive." "Like the paintings of Master Li Keran, because he continues to create, the price will be much cheaper. The fine works are fifteen yuan a foot. Early paintings can be bought for eight or nine yuan." "If you want to buy this painting, I can discount you half the price!" Hearing what Yan Sihai said, Liu Zhihe glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly added: "Mr. Xia, if you like this painting, I can give it to you directly on behalf of the museum. Here you can see which one you like. Take it away!" Yan Sihai heard Liu Zhihe say this, and took a look at the latter and found that Liu Zhihe kept winking at him. He immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, Mr. Xia, you are our VIP. You can take any painting you need with me. Let someone wrap it up for you" Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. Seeing Yan Sihai seemed to be planning to call someone, he waved his hand to stop him. "Director Yan, Director Liu, you don''t need to be like this. If you don''t have any rules, don''t mention it. If I want it, I will buy it!" "Let''s go see the painting over there!" After that, Xia Yu stepped forward, ignoring Qi Baishi''s painting. Liu Zhihe and Yan Sihai looked at each other, wondering whether Xia Yu liked the painting or not. The two could only quickly follow in Xia Yu''s footsteps. Next, Xia Yu stopped in front of many pictures. Yan Sihai would give an introduction. Xia Yu would inevitably ask the price, and Yan Sihai would answer truthfully. After some understanding, Xia Yu looked at the calligraphy and paintings of the masters all around, and there was an emotion in his heart that seemed to be gushing out, which was worthless and regretful for them. These deceased or living masters in China are very famous, but their masterpieces are sold in the National Revolutionary History Museum at low prices. According to Yan Sihai, many artists take the initiative to sell their paintings here in order to make a living, because selling to foreign guests can have a higher price and can also contribute to the country. But what about the price? Li Keran''s paintings range from seven or eight yuan to fifteen yuan a foot. Li Kuchan''s painting is more than ten yuan a foot. Wu Zuoren''s painting is six or seven yuan a foot. Lin Fengmian''s painting is three or four yuan per foot. Zhang Daqian''s paintings cost more than ten yuan a chi. And what about the works of the late masters? Qi Baishi''s prawn picture, Xu Beihong''s horse and flower picture, Pan Tianshou''s flower and bird picture, Wu Changshuo''s calligraphy and painting, Huang Binhong''s landscape painting... The price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. (This is a real thing, it was partially swept away by more than 200,000 people, and it is worth tens of billions for later generations) this era¡­¡­ Hey, it''s all caused by poverty! Seeing Xia Yu staying there for a long time without speaking, Liu Zhihe was a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xia, what''s wrong with you?" Xia Yu woke up, looking at the worried expressions of Liu Zhihe and Yan Sihai, he smiled, shook his head and said, "It''s nothing, just thought of something." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Sihai and asked in a puzzled manner: "Curator Yan, I have a question for you." "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Yan Sihai said immediately. "You just said that the income from selling calligraphy and paintings here is mainly used to improve the funds of the museum and to entertain foreign guests. These calligraphy and paintings are sold for such a price, is the income enough? Can they be sold?" Xia Yu asked. Yan Sihai was a little embarrassed. He looked at Liu Zhihe again and sighed and said, "Mr. Xia, let¡¯s tell you, the income from selling calligraphy and painting is definitely not enough. According to the above requirements, we have to receive foreign guests who come to the museum. The standard is three yuan per person, but how can the three yuan be enough? The difference will be solved from the income here, but the Chinese don¡¯t have much money and can¡¯t buy many paintings, and the foreign guests don¡¯t understand the culture of our country. Calligraphy and painting are bought less." "Up to now, it is almost out of business. As a national museum, it is embarrassing to sell calligraphy and paintings here, but we are the hope of many artists, so it is difficult for us now." Hearing what Yan Sihai said, Liu Zhihe gave Xia Yu a little embarrassed. I saw that Xia Yu''s expression was a bit complicated, and he didn''t know what was thinking in his heart. After a while, Xia Yu let out a long sigh, glanced at the calligraphy and paintings around him, and then solemnly said to Yan Sihai: "Curator Yan, I want to buy calligraphy and painting!" Yan Sihai glanced at Liu Zhihe and found that the latter nodded to him, his face was beaming, and he asked: "Mr. Xia, which calligraphy and painting do you like?" Xia Yu glanced around and faintly uttered two words: "All." "All?" Yan Sihai was startled, blinked, and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Xia, do you mean that there are hundreds of calligraphy and paintings hanging here?" Xia Yu shook his head, and when Yan Sihai was a little disappointed, what Xia Yu said shocked him completely. "I mean all the calligraphy and paintings that you take away from the museum, the ones that are hung here, and those that are not, I want them all!" When these words came out, not only Yan Sihai was shocked, but even Liu Zhihe was stunned by Xia Yu''s operation. It''s not that Yan Sihai has never seen someone who buys calligraphy and painting in a big way, but it is the first time that he has seen someone like Xia Yu who has said everything in a breezy way. "Mr. Xia, it is conservatively estimated that there are tens of thousands of paintings we have saved, are you sure you want them?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a light smile: "It''s only tens of thousands, I want it. If you can take out more, I want it. Anyway, I want as much as I want!" "I have a museum in Xiangjiang, which is large enough to collect millions of cultural relics and works of art. It is still empty now. I just bought some calligraphy and painting to fill it in." After Xia Yu was confirmed, Yan Sihai¡¯s surprise smile on his face could not be concealed. He quickly said: ¡°Mr. Xia, you can rest assured that our museum is in cooperation with schools and institutions such as China Academy of Fine Arts and China Academy of Fine Arts. The general works are Those that can¡¯t be brought into our place, they still have a lot of works there, if you need them, I can bring them all!¡± PS: If I said one update, then I would have two changes, and the second one was sent. It was really painful. I went to bed first. Good night everyone! v3 Chapter 1065: The countrys largest acquisition of cultural relics Xia Yu laughed loudly and said: "Okay, Director Yan, then I have to trouble you, no matter how many calligraphy and paintings you can bring, I will want it. You can choose the specific price. I believe you, I will arrange someone to follow You contact." Yan Sihai nodded happily, "Mr. Xia, it''s no trouble, please don''t worry, I will do it well." Liu Zhihe also said at this time: "Mr. Xia, we will also check you off." Xia Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Director Liu, you don''t need to be so troublesome. You know I don''t need this little money. As long as I don''t let the museum suffer, and the masters don''t suffer, I won''t make it through my conscience. Director Liu replied again and again, no longer mentioning it, but he still gave Yan Sihai a look at the moment Xia Yu turned around. Yan Sihai nodded knowingly. To be able to accompany Liu Zhihe throughout the journey, Xia Yu must be a distinguished guest from the mainland, and he does not need to mention Liu Zhihe. Yan Sihai also knows what to do. No matter when, political tasks are above all else, this concept has penetrated his bones. And now it is really difficult for him to deal with these calligraphy and paintings here. Xia Yu is willing to buy them all, which has given the museum a huge help, and he is already content. Amid Yan Sihai¡¯s thanks, Xia Yu and Liu Zhihe went out, and the red flag car drove away from the National Revolutionary History Museum. After getting in the car, Xia Yu, who had picked up at least "tens of billions", was very happy, with a smile on his face unconsciously. Seeing Xia Yu in a good mood, thinking of what Xia Yu said in the museum just now, Liu Zhihe''s heart moved and pretended to ask with interest: "Mr. Xia, you built the Kowloon Cultural Museum in Xiangjiang. I also heard about it in mainland China. , I heard that it contains a national treasure-level "Yongle Dadian", more than the Forbidden City?" Xia Yu laughed and said modestly: "That is to say, the number of "Yongle Dadian" is more than that of the Forbidden City. In other respects, it is not worthy to carry shoes for the Forbidden City Museum. "Although my Kowloon Cultural Museum is well-known in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it has a long way to grow. It has only collected more than 10,000 cultural relics. Even if I add tens of thousands of calligraphy and painting now, it will only be tens of thousands. Unlike the Forbidden City Museum, which has a huge collection of millions of pieces, and each one is a fine piece of the finest, I can¡¯t compare it!" Liu Zhihe smiled and flattered and said, "Mr. Xia is humble. With your financial resources, it is not difficult to fill the collection of the Kowloon Cultural Museum to more than one million pieces." Xia Yu shook his head with a bitter smile, and sighed: "Dr. Liu, it is not so easy. I want to buy back as much Chinese cultural relics as possible, and build the Kowloon Cultural Museum into a stage to showcase Chinese culture, but what about It is difficult to acquire overseas cultural relics." Liu Zhihe immediately said: "Mr. Xia, it is very difficult to buy Chinese cultural relics overseas, but the difficulty is still very small in the mainland. If you need large quantities of cultural relics, you may wish to consider state-owned cultural relics stores." "Antiquities store?" Xia Yu became interested, and under Liu Zhihe''s reminder, he also realized this good opportunity that he had overlooked. It seems that in the 1970s and 1980s, there were cultural relic shops on the mainland that sold cultural relics. The purpose seemed to be to earn foreign exchange. Liu Zhihe nodded and said, "Yes, the cultural relics store is the only store designated for cultural relics in the country." Xia Yu asked with interest: "Director Liu, can you tell me more about it?" Seeing Xia Yu''s interest, Liu Zhihe lifted his spirits and carefully described the situation of the cultural relic store: "Mr. Xia, the cultural relic store is..." As Liu Zhihe continued to tell, Xia Yu also learned about the cultural relics store. Although Liu Zhihe was an official person, his attitude was biased towards the official when he said it, but combined with some understanding of later generations, Xia Yu can also have his own judgment. In general, the cultural relics store is now the nation¡¯s only cultural relics acquisition and transaction platform established by the state. This is the only channel. If it is sold to other places, it is speculative and violates national laws. In addition, no other units or people dare to ask for it. . The law only stipulates that what is buried underground belongs to the state, but there should not be too many cultural relics circulated by the people. This is private property and the people can sell it. In order to regulate the cultural relics market and to protect precious cultural relics as much as possible, the state has set up cultural relics stores to purchase cultural relics. After the acquisition, the precious cultural relics will be handed over to the museum from the cultural relics stores in various places, and the inferior ones will be sold as commodities to foreign guests in exchange for the precious foreign exchange needed for national construction. It is also worth noting that the people on the mainland can sell cultural relics in cultural relics stores, but they cannot buy them in cultural relics stores. Cultural relics stores only sell cultural relics to foreign guests, because only foreign guests have foreign exchange. It is worth mentioning that, considering the difficulty in selling cultural relics, cultural relics stores are not always rejecting visitors. The Foreign Trade Acquisition Department issues numbers for a limited period of time. A certain number of numbers are issued every day. If no number is listed, cultural relics stores will not. collected. Moreover, cultural relics stores are also very picky about buying cultural relics, regardless of whether they are old cultural relics, anyway, as long as they are damaged or flawed, they will not be accepted. No way, who has allowed the mainland folks to collect too many cultural relics? Even with such restrictions, there are queues waiting to sell cultural relics from night to morning in front of cultural relic stores everywhere. Therefore, Liu Zhihe also assured Xia Yu that although the best cultural relics in the cultural relics store are already in the museum, the others are not bad. It is a good choice to buy to fill the museum. After listening to Liu Zhihe, Xia Yu was of course tempted. He did not dislike that what the cultural relics store is not the finest among the finest works, because he thought of a very crucial question. There are so many cultural relics stores across the country. He does not believe that every cultural relics store is equipped with masters of all kinds, even the masters have the time to look away. Therefore, in the cultural relics stores across the country, there must be fakes that were copied by the Republic of China, and there are also misread boutiques. Whether it is a counterfeit or a treasure, at the current price, it is a few tens of dollars. At this price, the counterfeit that is bought in the Republic of China will be worth a lot of money in later generations. Anyway, it is a profit. Thinking of this, Xia Yu didn¡¯t hesitate, and immediately said to Liu Zhihe: ¡°Director Liu, I want to buy these cultural relics. One hundred thousand pieces are not too small, and one million pieces are not too much. Anyway, I want as many as I want, and I am worried about my museum. It¡¯s still empty. I will use foreign exchange for all the acquisition funds. The type of foreign exchange is whatever you want." ¡°And instead of buying these cultural relics by foreigners who don¡¯t know how to appreciate it, I¡¯d better buy them all and put them in the museum to realize the value of cultural communication. The people of Xiangjiang need these things to experience our bright Chinese culture and receive the baptism of spirit.¡± When the latter words were said, Liu Zhihe''s eyes lit up, and he realized the political value of it. If Xia Yu¡¯s words were fed back to him, he was sure that the above would definitely mobilize cultural relics to sell to Xia Yu, not only could earn foreign exchange, but also exert greater political value, which was tens of thousands of times better than selling to foreigners! Therefore, he said without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, don''t worry, I will report your ideas, and I will let you know as soon as the results are available!" Xia Yu smiled and thanked: "Then I will trouble you." Later, seeing that the time was still early, the energetic Xia Yu went to the Liuli Factory, accompanied by Liu Zhihe, and saw the cultural and entertainment market that had begun to flourish, and also saw that it has a history of more than 300 years and is now a state-owned enterprise. According to Liu Zhihe''s introduction, the three characters of Rongbaozhai are still engraved with Guo Moruo''s calligraphy ink as the standard. There, Xia Yu saw the team selling cultural relics to the cultural relics store, and also saw the current value of the cultural relics, a piece of "300 pieces" of porcelain-a large size about 1.5 meters high with double ears and slippery shoulders. Porcelain bottles, the purchase price ranges from a few yuan to a dozen yuan, the price is simply not too low! After strolling around in the afternoon, Xia Yu had a very deep understanding of the current status of cultural relics in the mainland, and he had already decided to do both. On the one hand, let the government come forward to collect the cultural relics from the cultural relics store and sell them to him On the other hand, let the mainland establish a special company to privately purchase the cultural relics and store them, whether it is placed in a museum or for future Sotheby¡¯s auctions. The mainland is an excellent choice as a heritage. ... In the morning of the next day, Xia Yu had a meeting with senior officials in the mainland. The atmosphere during the whole process was very peaceful. Xia Yu grasped the scale, not only satisfied the mainland, but also gained a lot of space for himself. And, as he expected, the mainland hopes that he can stabilize Xiangjiang as much as possible and play a positive role in the future of Xiangjiang. The former is what Xia Yu is doing and planning, and the latter is what he is going to do right away. There is also a deep connection between the two. Therefore, Xia Yu agreed to do his best, and decided to leave for the UK immediately after returning to Xiangjiang to do these things with all his strength, and asked the mainland to wait and wait for his results. The mainland agreed, and also accepted Xia Yu''s love, so that his goal of going north was achieved. After the meeting, Xia Yu received a grand reception again, and during the meal, he reached an agreement with the mainland on the purchase of cultural relics. The mainland will make every effort to mobilize cultural relics from cultural relic stores across the country to sell to Xia Yu, and the price will be higher than that of foreigners. Some discounts. Xia Yu doesn''t care about some discounts, but since the mainland executives will express their views on this, then this means that his cultural relic trading with the mainland is not only a business, but also a political task. As long as the mainland is serious, then this matter will definitely have a good result. After Xia Yu had made up his mind to go back, he immediately explained to Huashengshi to expand the team so that he could receive an extremely large number of cultural relics. In the afternoon of the same day, Xia Yu boarded the special train for the return journey in a warm farewell from the mainland. PS: That''s it for today. I have to go to the hospital again tomorrow. Thank you for your concern, thank you! v3 Chapter 1066: Goodbye Elena After returning to Xiangjiang, Xia Yu took a rest for a day, and then boarded the plane to London. This time, considering that what he was doing in the UK might be risky, Xia Yu did not take Li Qian with him, but brought a large number of bodyguards. Not only that, secretly, Ma Qianjun had already sent more people to the European Nets Division in advance according to Xia Yu''s instructions to protect Xia Yu''s safety in secret. When the Boeing 747 aircraft with the words Cathay Pacific landed at London Heathrow International Airport, it was already past three in the afternoon. When Xia Yu came out of the VIP passage with a group of bodyguards, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise. "Hey, Master, I am here!" Xia Yu followed the prestige, with a bright smile on his face. It was Elena and Henry and their bodyguards, and the shouting was of course Henry, who was running towards Xia Yu. As for Elena, she is better than Henry. She has received strict aristocratic etiquette training and is now carrying a white skirt and trotting towards him with brisk steps. Seeing Elena''s face filled with joy, Xia Yu''s heart touched, his eyes softened, and he speeded up his steps towards her. "Master, I finally saw you again. It''s great. I originally planned to go to Xiangjiang to find you during my long vacation..." Seeing Henry pulling Li Wuming with excitement on his face and talking endlessly, Xia Yu and Elena met, and couldn''t help laughing. "Elena, long time no see, miss you so much!" Xia Yu''s eyes were soft, his brows were smiling, and he said softly. "me too!" Elena''s white face was blushing, and Shui Lingling''s beautiful eyes looked straight at Xia Yu. Although she didn''t say the words of missing her, all her emotions had already been passed to Xia Yu through her eyes. Looking at each other for a moment, Xia Yu opened his hand to Elena, leaning forward slightly, Elena hugged Xia Yu very naturally. The faces of the two were lightly pressed together, and when Xia Yu was about to kiss Elena''s forehead, Elena suddenly raised her head. Xia Yu was taken aback, and then touched Elena with a natural expression. Seeing that the bright red color on Elena''s face became more and more obvious, her gaze slightly dodged, Xia Yu smiled slightly, pretending not to see. Familiar friends generally use hugs to express intimacy. Of course, there are also kisses. Generally, it is a kiss on the forehead or cheek of the recipient. Only when the relationship is very close and happy , Will give a kissing ceremony, leave with a light touch, expressing affection and condolences. Although I haven''t seen each other for a long time, Xia Yu and Elena talk on the phone almost every day. Distance produces beauty. The two are thousands of miles apart, relying on a telephone line, the relationship is getting closer and closer. In the subtlety, the relationship between the two has become very close. It is precisely because of this that Elena will let Xia Yu kiss the ceremony in full view. If it weren''t for the emotional excitement to a certain extent, she would not behave like this. at this time. "Hey, Xia Yu, are you planning to stand here stupidly in the sun with my sister?" Seeing Henry with his hands on his hips and speaking to himself in an adult tone, Xia Yu laughed dumbly. Before Elena wanted to speak, he rubbed Henry''s hair and said, "Henry, why are you here today?" Henry twisted the beginning, so that Xia Yu couldn''t rub his hair with his hands, rolled his eyes, and said solemnly in a disgusting tone: "Today is Saturday, no class, why can''t I come?" "And I''m not here to pick you up, I''m here to meet my master." "Also, don''t touch my head, this is not a gentleman''s behavior!" Xia Yu and the somewhat helpless Elena looked at each other and couldn''t help laughing. "Well, I apologize to you!" "I won''t touch your head next time!" "So now, Mr. Henry, where are we going? To my house or to yours?" Henry glanced at his sister, opened his hand, shrugged and said, "I can do it. I suggest you ask my sister about this." Xia Yu smiled and looked at Elena. Elena smiled softly and said softly: "Xia Yu, go to your place. You still have so much luggage with you, you have to put it home first." "Okay, let''s go then!" With that, Xia Yu and Elena got in the car and headed to his manor in the suburbs of London. ... Although Xia Yu hasn''t been to London for a long time, his manor still has butler Fred and servants taking care of it. After seeing Xia Yu coming back, Fred and others were very happy. After busying, they set up luggage and made tea for Xia Yu, and began to prepare for a sumptuous dinner. As for Henry, after sitting for less than two minutes, he took Li Wuming out. When the housekeeper saw that everything was fine, Xia Yu and Elena were left in the huge living room. "Elena, did you have a good time in the past?" Xia Yu picked an orange, broke it in half and handed it to Elena, and asked with a faint smile. Elena took the orange, looked at Xia Yu, smiled and said, "Not bad, I have a more fulfilling work and life." "And when you are bored, aren''t you still calling me?" After that, Elena blinked her big eyes at Xia Yu, with a playful and cute feeling. "How about you?" "You have to deal with so many company matters every day. Although you don''t tell me on the phone, it must be very hard, right?" Seeing Elena¡¯s concerned eyes, Xia Yu¡¯s heart warmed and said truthfully: ¡°When things are urgent, they will be a little tired, but most of the time it¡¯s easier. I have many subordinates with outstanding ability, and they take most of the pressure for me. ." "On the contrary, it''s you. I heard George said that you don''t know how to relax when you are at work. You are always working. He reminded you many times." Elena smiled and blinked at Xia Yu and said: "This is your company. You put me in such an important post. Of course I have to work hard." Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head and laughed. ... After chatting for a while Elena asked Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, how long do you plan to stay here this time in London?" What Elena didn''t realize was that when she asked this question, Yushou subconsciously grasped the skirt because of being too nervous. Xia Yu saw Elena''s concern, and he smiled and said, "I will stay in Europe for at least two months, and I haven''t decided yet." After getting this answer, Elena smiled delightedly and murmured happily: "Two months? It will be Christmas..." "But... Europe..." Because I cared too much, Elena heard every word Xia Yu said clearly. After thinking about it, he still didn''t ask any more. Anyway, as long as it is in Europe, no matter which country it is in, it is much closer than in Xiangjiang. This answer is much better than expected... That night, Elena and Henry did not go back, but spent the night at Xia Yu''s house. After dinner, Xia Yu and Elena sat on the lawn watching the stars, chatting about work, life, and all kinds of interesting things. I don¡¯t know when they hugged each other, but the sober Xia Yu restrained. Live it, just to make Elena''s lips brighter. This evening, the relationship between the two came closer again. The next morning, after enjoying a hearty breakfast, Xia Yu and Elena drove to the City of London together. I haven¡¯t been to London for so long. Before acting, it¡¯s time to sort out my assets in the UK... PS: Sorry, it¡¯s inconvenient for people who are almost half-worn to use their codes. They work too much on Sunday night and Monday. Only the realistic work materials have written more than 8,000 characters, and the scalp has to be scratched and the waist is also I¡¯m going to waste it, I don¡¯t have any time codewords. I took advantage of my free time to sort out the outline of the British plot, and I wrote it over two o¡¯clock in the evening. Hey, I will continue to update tomorrow v3 Chapter 1067: Fat meat that is not easy to compete Because the suburban manor is a certain distance from the City of London, even if Xia Yu and others set off earlier, when they arrived at the headquarters of the Bright Fund Company, it was already 10:02 in the morning, and they spent more than one on the road. hour. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I ran into George Berkeley, who immediately greeted Xia Yu in surprise. "Boss, good morning!" "George, long time no see, you seem to be in good spirits!" Xia Yu walked out of the elevator, looked at George Berkeley, and said with a slight smile. George Berkeley immediately replied wittily: "Because of the boss, you are back. This is the most pleasant thing today. What a pleasant surprise!" Xia Yu laughed dumbly and hadn''t seen him for a while. George Berkeley''s kung fu is good! He didn''t intend to entangle these details, and asked: "George, it looks like you are in a hurry now?" George Berkeley shook his head quickly and said, "Boss, it''s just a matter of work. Don''t worry, I''ll accompany you to the office first." Xia Yu didn''t decline either. The entire company must be the most important thing for him. In the past half of the morning, he had to hurry up and learn more about the situation. Then he nodded and said, "Let''s go!" After that, Xia Yu took Elena and his bodyguards to his office, and George Berkeley quickly followed. As soon as he arrived at the office, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to bring him the company''s development and assets. Henry couldn''t sit still, and after his sister told him not to leave the company, she turned around in the company. Before long, George Berkeley came in with a file box, which he had just taken out of the safe. "Boss, last month I went through a comprehensive review of the company''s assets. This is the company''s log and a brief list of assets." After speaking, George Berkeley handed the file box to Xia Yu. "In addition to the things you reported to me on the phone before, are there any more important things that happened?" In order to save time, Xia Yu asked while opening the file box and took out the files inside. "Recently, there is also one thing that is very important. It is the privatization of the telecommunications industry. Now it has reached the second critical period. I am working **** this." George Berkeley thought for a while and said. Xia Yu just opened the file and wanted to browse it. When he heard this, he moved for a while, concentrated his attention, raised his head to look at George Berkeley, pondered for a moment and said: "I remember you told me that the government approved it last month. The new "British Telecommunications Act" was adopted. On the 1st of this month, the government led the spin-off of postal and telecommunications, establishing British Telecom and Royal Mail, and at the same time abolished British Telecom''s monopoly on communication network operations and services." "So, the government is now preparing to establish a second telecommunications company in China, right?" George Berkeley nodded and said: "Yes, according to the news I got from the government and the news from Duke Howard, the government is now preparing to establish a new telecommunications company." "Moreover, in order to speed up efficiency, the Prime Minister has privately said that a new telecommunications company will be established within half a month." "I had already called Duke Howard yesterday, and I am going to meet with him this afternoon to discuss how to compete for this company." After thinking a little bit, Xia Yu said, "Is there a lot of pressure on this company now?" George Berkeley nodded heavily and said solemnly: "Yes, this company is different from the Great Eastern Telecom Company that we took down before. Everyone knows that the domestic telecom market in the UK will have a very good prospect, so for this company Many people in the company have ideas." "And I asked the Duke Howard. He told me that the Bank of Barings is no longer eligible to compete, because Bank of Barings already holds 20% of Dadong Telecom. The government believes that Bank of Barings is not strong enough to support the two telecoms. Company development." "Moreover, the privatization of telecommunications companies is to break the monopoly and rejuvenate the British telecommunications sector. Only by falling into healthy competition can the British people gain benefits and allow British telecommunications companies to go out of the country." "This time, the government also needs a bank as the core to support the development of a new telecommunications company. A new telecommunications company does require huge investment." "So now we are facing a difficult problem. Although Duke Howard and Prince Philip are also interested in new telecommunications companies, our forces cannot be concentrated and we lack a bank entity." "Although we still have Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, they are not shareholders. It is difficult for us to compete with stronger banks such as Lloyds Bank and Barclays Bank." From George Berkeley''s explanation in such detail, Xia Yu can understand the difficulty of it. There are too many big families in the UK. Last time, in order to compete for the Great Eastern Telecom Company, he, Duke Howard, and Prince Philip cooperated in a raid, and the government took out 51% of the shares. Twelve percent was taken away by others. But this time, they are likely to fight on their own. After all, the common interest body, the Bank of Barings, has already lost the qualification to compete in advance. As for his Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, the Roshill family had not been cleaned up. Although he was greedy for new telecommunications companies, he still did not lose the interests of the bank. Especially the Royal Bank of Scotland, he has less than two-thirds of the equity. He welcomes the Duke Howard and Prince Philip to join but the equity cannot be from him! If it''s the Rohill family spit out equity to give it! Having said that, even the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank cannot compete with Barclays Bank, National Westminster Bank and Lloyds Bank. According to the information in the "Banker" magazine of his Financial Times Group, among the top 500 World Bank banks, the British banks are ranked from top to bottom. Barclays Bank, National Westminster Bank, HSBC Holdings and Law Firm Ed Bank. Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are a bit far apart. Even if the strength is insufficient, the background and behind-the-scenes relationship chain is far inferior to these banks. Behind the Barclays Bank are the Rohill family and some younger brothers of the Rohill family. Behind Lloyds Bank is the royalist family, and Duke Howard is one of the shareholders. Behind the National Westminster Bank and HSBC Holdings are also a lot of old big families, a lot of jazz. Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a sense of relief. In just half a month, there is not much room for operation and the operation is not difficult. For a time, he couldn''t think of a practical way. Shaking his head slightly, clearing the irritability that had just emerged, he said lightly to George Berkeley, "I see." After speaking, he did not speak any more, and looked down at the document in his hand. George Berkeley did not ask any more interestingly, waiting quietly for Xia Yu''s next question. "Sand...Sand...Sand..." As he kept turning pages, Xia Yu absorbed the information on the paper into his mind. Gradually, the reality of the Bright Fund continued to be pieced together in his mind. A smile gradually appeared on his face. PS: I said that I can''t stay up late, and I wrote a little bit more, everyone rest early, I can''t hold it anymore, good night! v3 Chapter 1068: Bright Foundation Bright Fund can now be said to be one of the giants in the British capital industry. Of course, Xia Yu refers to real assets, because many assets have been processed, so the outside world will have a lower level of awareness of Bright Fund. But even so, Bright Fund is also one of the capital giants, and no one in Britain dares to take it lightly. In terms of actual assets, the strength of Bright Fund is now mainly concentrated in four areas. The first one is the investment field. This is the basic board of the Bright Fund. Relying on Xia Yu¡¯s foresight and the strong execution of George Berkeley and others, the Bright Fund is famous in the investment field, whether it is short-term investment, long-term investment or Shorting, strength is good. There are large sums of funds operating in three markets, including the stock market, futures market and foreign exchange market. Futures and foreign exchange markets are basically short-term operations, with fewer representative assets, but in the stock market, there are more things that can reflect strength. For example, in the insurance sector, Prudential Group holds a 5.1% stake in the Prudential Group, a 5.1% stake in the French Insurance Company, and a 5.1% stake in Aviva Group. These three insurance companies are ranked in the UK. Among the top three in the insurance industry, Bright Fund has one board seat. In the energy sector, for example, the Centric Group, which operates natural gas, has a 6.5% stake, the Southern Scottish Power Company 6.2%, and the British National Grid Corporation 5.9%. These three companies are also in the United Kingdom. The power and energy giants, Bright Fund also has a board seat. In addition, it also owns a 5.3% stake in the chemical giant Unilever, and a 6.3% stake in HSBC Holdings, the parent company of Hongkong and HSBC Bank, and all have board seats. The influence is evident... The second is the media field. The Bright Fund is a giant in the British media industry and even the European media industry. In the UK, he owns the Financial Times Group and Mirror Group, and controls six major national newspapers, 53 local newspapers, 96 weekly magazines, and 123 other bimonthly and monthly magazines. Among them, six major national newspapers "Financial Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Daily Mirror", "Sports Life", "Sunday Daily Mirror", "Sunday People''s Daily", etc., have sales in each Over one million copies, accounting for 32% of national newspaper sales. Sales of local newspapers also account for 8% of the local newspaper market in the UK. In the field of television broadcasting in the United Kingdom, United Television Corporation, which holds 31.2%, owns 13 private television stations and 67 local radio stations; it also holds the second largest wireless broadcasting equipment manufacturing company in the United Kingdom -35.4% of Clyde Broadcasting Company. In addition to the United Kingdom, the Mirror Group also owns 177 kinds of newspapers and magazines in the United States, Italy, and Spain, an increase of 82 kinds over the previous two years, all of which are acquired. Particularly worth mentioning is France. The French branch of the Mirror Group is still a French film and television media giant. It owns 59 newspapers. The flagship newspaper "Ferrero" ranks first in daily sales of French newspapers, and the entire company''s newspapers are distributed. The volume accounts for 28% of the country¡¯s total. The French branch of the Mirror Group also owns EMI, the second largest film company in France, as well as the largest cinema chain and distribution company in France, with 238 movie theaters and 269 screens. The third field is the heavy industry field. The representative is the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. This is now the largest automobile group in the UK. With its explosive models, it is sold globally, and its strength is beyond doubt. The fourth largest sector is the banking sector, with 84.6 percent of Standard Chartered Bank, 58.9 percent of Royal Bank of Scotland, and 22% of China Commercial Bank. , Bahrain Bank holds 20% equity. In addition to the four major areas, there are some scattered but not small assets, such as the 15.3% equity of the Coca-Cola Company of the United States, the 13.4% equity of the Disney Company of the United States, and the 100% equity of Great Eastern Telecom of the United Kingdom. Seven-thirds of the equity, 4% of BP, the largest auction house Sotheby¡¯s auction house and so on. The final statistics show that the actual value of the entire Bright Fund has exceeded six billion pounds! And considering that it controls the huge assets of Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, the assets directly or indirectly controlled by the Bright Fund have exceeded 20 billion pounds, which is far more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. In Xiangjiang, the strength of the Bright Fund is second only to the Jiuding Consortium. In the UK, the Bright Fund can also stand the threshold of squeezing into a large consortium. It can be called the Bright Consortium, which is qualified to fight against the top old consortia in the UK. ... After reading these materials, Xia Yu looked at his watch, and then he suddenly watched it for nearly an hour. But these results also made him very gratified. Unknowingly, he has already laid such a large foundation in the UK, and they are all high-quality assets with great influence and potential. Even if his Xiangjiang Jiuding consortium is gone, relying on the Bright Fund alone will be enough to make him heirloom for a hundred years! "George, good job, the company has developed very well under your management!" Xia Yu praised George Berkeley. George Berkeley said modestly: "Boss, the main thing is that you plan well. I just follow your instructions and execute normally." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "I see your efforts and achievements in my eyes. I will give you a surprise at the end of the year!" A look of expectation flashed in George Berkeley''s eyes, and he gratefully said, "Thank you for the chairman''s approval!" After a few more conversations, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley about the situation in France. "George, tell me about the latest situation in France." George Berkeley pondered for a long time, and after finishing the draft, he said: "Boss, I have been collecting the market conditions of all walks of life in France according to your instructions. After so long, I have worked hard to improve ~ www.novelhall.com ~ basic We have all collected, but more inside information is temporarily not available, and the information is secretly stored in my home." "Then the connection with Mitterrand has always been relatively close. He did not neglect his relationship with us just because he became the French president." "According to my understanding, Mitterrand has completely controlled the cabinet and parliament, and now the Socialist Party is the dominant one. At the government level, his will and orders can be fully implemented." "Now Mitterrand is in close contact with various families and consortia in France, and is currently exchanging interests. He hopes to obtain support from these families and consortia so that the government''s policies and instructions can be effectively implemented." "At present, it seems that the situation is more complicated." "Mitterrand advocates that, on the basis of not eliminating private ownership, a certain degree of nationalization, planning, and autonomous management should be used to gradually reform the French economy in order to establish a''democratic'' and''free'' French society. Ism''." "He now intends to strengthen the state''s intervention in economic life, emphasize economic planning, and expand nationalization, which will seriously damage the interests of capitalists. Therefore, the attitudes of major French families and consortia towards Mitterrand are very complicated." "But I talked to Mitterrand. He himself expressed confidence in the government''s ability to execute, and he also intends to promote nationalization reform from the core banking industry. This is directly aimed at the lifeblood of major French consortia and families." "As for the specific implementation, he just told me that there is no clear plan yet and it is currently under study..." "This is the specific situation." After speaking, George Berkeley quietly looked at Xia Yu who was in a state of thinking, waiting for his instructions. PS: I slept for more than three hours last night and got up at 2:30 in the morning. I have been busy until the evening. I am really sorry. v3 Chapter 1069: Duke Howard "I know!" "Have you collected all the information about the French banking industry?" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then asked again. George Berkeley immediately said: "Yes, the "Banker" magazine under the Financial Times Group is the most professional information collection and analysis platform in the global banking industry. Last month I asked them to specially organize the French banking information." "However, now that more than a month has passed, there may be some changes. Give me a few days and I will ask the Financial Times Group to adjust the data to the latest situation." "Well, yes, collect it and you can give it to me!" Xia Yu showed a smile, nodded and said. George Berkeley was silent for a moment. Seeing that Xia Yu didn''t speak any more, he asked, "Boss, what about the second telecommunications company? What should I do?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "This matter mainly depends on the attitude of the government. Let me try. You are ready to negotiate and wait for my instructions at any time." "Ok!" George Berkeley immediately obediently responded. Speaking of telecommunications companies, Xia Yu thought of Great Eastern Telecom, which had been privatized before, and he asked about the company''s current status. "George, after the partial privatization of Dadong Telecom, what is the situation now?" There was a flash of memory in George Berkeley''s eyes, he pondered for a long time, sorted out his thoughts, and said from an appropriate angle: "Boss, although the largest shareholder is still the government, the government does not interfere with the company''s operations, but just Supervisory role." "In the past five months, the company has changed its management on a large scale, and has completed layoffs of 30%. In the third quarter, revenue and profits have not declined. Everything is moving in a good direction." "Although Dadong Telecom still has 12% of the shares in the hands of others, the development of the company mainly depends on the will of us and the Howard family, and we occupy a more important position. Prince Philip basically does not care about this. The other families can''t get involved..." With George Berkeley''s eloquent words, the corners of Xia Yu''s mouth slowly conjured up. It seems that Dadong Telecom Company mainly implements the will of Bright Fund. But think about it. The second largest shareholder of Dadong Telecom is the Bank of Barings, which holds 20% of the shares. Then the third largest shareholder is Standard Chartered Bank, which holds 12%. The fourth largest shareholder is Bright Fund, which holds 7%. In addition to the 49% held by the government, the remaining 12% of the equity is dispersed in the hands of other families and companies. Among the four largest shareholders of the Bank of Barings, although the largest shareholder is the Howard family''s Locke Fund, which holds 35 percent of the shares. But the second largest shareholder is Jiuding Bank holds 25%. The remaining Bright Fund and Prince Philip¡¯s Black Rose Capital each have 20%. In fact, Xia Yu''s party holds 45% of the shares. Although the Howard family is now mainly operating the Bank of Bahrain, he can still take the lead in Dadong Telecom. But after all, Dadong Telecom Company is not absolutely controlled by him. The government has 49% of the remaining shares. When the next privatization, he will not dare to win 100% of the tickets, so Dadong Telecom is owned It''s not clear. Therefore, the best way is to use the existing rights to complete the strategic deployment as much as possible first, so that stability is the top priority! After thinking about this, Xia Yu said to George Berkeley: "George, Dadong Telecom also holds 45.7% of the shares in the Xiangjiang branch. Now my company in Xiangjiang has only acquired 30%. The 1.3 equity is still 35.4% short of Absolute Holdings." "I give you a task to let Dadong Telecom Company transfer the shares of Xiangjiang Branch as soon as possible. There is no need to transfer all of it. A small part can be left as a bond of cooperation, but at least 35.4% of the shares must be transferred. , I need to absolutely control the branch of Xiangjiang, which involves strategic planning." "Can it be done?" George Berkeley frowned, thought about it, nodded heavily, and said: "Boss, this is a certain difficulty, but I will do my best!" "that''s OK!" "On the telecommunications side, these two things I said." "Do you have any other questions?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. "Boss, I have something to report to you..." Next, George Berkeley talked about some work matters, and Xia Yu could answer or promise to solve it on the spot... In the afternoon, Xia Yu specifically called Duke Carter Howard and made an appointment to visit him at his home at noon the next day. During the rest of the time, Xia Yu went to the China Commercial Bank and met Wu Hongyi, who was very pleasantly surprised, and held a banquet for Xia Yu in the evening. The next morning, Henry went back to school, and Xia Yu took Elena to the Howard family castle. At about eleven o''clock, Xia Yu arrived at the destination, just in time to see Duke Carter Howard watering the flowers leisurely, without any airs. Seeing Xia Yu and his daughter Elena and others coming over, Duke Carter Howard immediately put down the watering can, with a spoiled smile on his face, and said happily: "Oh God, my dear Elena is back. It¡¯s so happy. Day!" "Dad, long time no see, I miss you so much!" Seeing the warm scene of the father and daughter, Xia Yu didn''t rush over to disturb him, but stopped and smiled and watched. After a long time, Duke Carter Howard finally looked at Xia Yu, walked towards Xia Yu with a smile, and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Xia, long time no see!" "Sir Carter, long time no see!" ... After a brief greeting, Xia Yu walked into the castle and came to the magnificent living room at the greeting of Duke Carter Howard. The servant made tea for Xia Yu and Elena, and also made coffee for Duke Carter Howard. Looking at the tea in the cup in front of Elena, Duke Carter Howard asked his daughter in surprise: "Elena, when will you drink green tea?" Elena smiled softly, blinked her eyes and said softly: "Dad, I have liked green tea for more than half a year. I think green tea is better than coffee." Duke Carter Howard was a little surprised: "More than half a year?" "Then why didn''t you tell Dad when you came home, every time you drink coffee like me, I don''t know your hobbies anymore, hey..." In the end, Duke Carter Howard glanced at the tea in Xia Yu''s cup, and suddenly a sense of crisis and depression rose in his heart. He suddenly saw Xia Yu not pleasing to his eyes. Seeing Duke Carter Howard''s sharp eyes and feeling that he seemed to be hostile, Xia Yu was a bit inexplicable at first. But he immediately reacted, embarrassed in his heart. On the surface, he watched his nose and nose, and looked at the tea cup in the cup without squinting. It seemed that he could see the flowers, as if he had not found the hostility of Duke Carter Howard. The meticulous Elena noticed that her father seemed to have emotions just like a child. She was kind and funny, and of course there was still a hint of shyness in her heart. My father seems to have discovered something, what should I do? When she thought about it, she immediately said with a soft smile: "Dad, because when I came back before, no one would drink coffee with you if I didn''t drink coffee. Of course I don''t drink tea!" "Today is different, Xia Yu came to our house, UU reading , he is my boss and a guest of our family. I am like him and green tea, which represents our family¡¯s welcome to him." Elena''s words not only surprised Xia Yu, but also surprised her father Sir Carter. After a while, Duke Carter Howard said with some taste: "Elena, there is nothing wrong with welcoming Mr. Xia." "However, it seems the first time I have seen you say such things..." After speaking, Duke Carter Howard gave his daughter a meaningful look. Elena''s pretty face couldn''t help but a blush, her eyes flickering. This affirmed Duke Carter Howard''s conjecture even more, and his eyes on Xia Yu became sharper. No father likes the cabbage raised by outsiders. Duke Carter Howard thinks that this is the common ground of every father and has nothing to do with reason. The mentality changed, even with a little impatient tone, and directly asked Xia Yu''s intentions. "Mr. Xia, did you come to England this time for what?" "Is it the new telecommunications company?" In fact, it was the cabbage of other people''s homes, so facing the impatient Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu was full of patience. No matter what you can do, I will deal with it with Tai Chi. He ignored Sir Carter''s emotions and nodded with a smile: "This is one of the reasons, and it is also the most urgent matter at present." "I heard George talk about the details of this matter yesterday, so I came to visit you today to see if there is a suitable and effective way." "After all, although new telecommunications companies have to build from scratch, the prospects for the telecommunications market are very bright. This is a very attractive cake." PS: I''m sorry, there is no holiday at all this weekend. The census will officially start next week. The preparations have led to continuous overtime work, so I can''t find empty code words, embarrassing v3 Chapter 1070: Intervene in the election of the Governor Duke Carter Howard looked directly at Xia Yu, and said straightforwardly: "The telecommunications industry is an industry with ultra-high barriers to entry. Everyone knows that this is a delicious cake. There are too many people staring at it. You don¡¯t want to grab it. You can grab it!" "Mr. Xia, even if it is me, I can''t guarantee how much equity you can grab. If you place your hopes on the same as Dadong Telecom, then I advise you to give up directly. It is impossible to succeed!" In the face of the cold water poured by Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu did not admit his fate. He smiled lightly and said: "Sir Carter, of course I know the difficulty of this, so my expectations for this new telecommunications company are not high. Dominate the management right, at least get a certain amount of equity." "Aren''t you interested in this company?" Duke Carter Howard smiled faintly, did not answer, just shook his head with emotion. Seeing this, Xia Yu frowned slightly. Seeing Xia Yu frown, Duke Carter Howard suddenly felt a lot better. It''s just that when he looked at his daughter subconsciously, he found that her eyebrows were also frowned, with a worried and thoughtful look on her face, making his good mood disappear in a flash. "Hey¡­¡­" Duke Carter Howard couldn''t see the appearance of his daughter, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then glared at Xia Yu. In Xia Yu''s inexplicable gaze, Duke Carter Howard said: "Mr. Xia, I am also interested in this company, but I only intend to win a small share of it." "This new telecommunications company is different from Dadong Telecom. On the premise that the Bank of Barings is excluded, the one that is related to me is Lloyds Bank. My main strength must be concentrated here, and other families will also concentrate their strengths. Here, even if you add me, you may not be able to compete with Barclays Bank and National Westminster Bank." "So if you want me to help you, it''s not that I refuse to help, but that I can''t help." "So this time, you can only figure out your own way. I really can''t do anything." "My only suggestion is that you can ask Ms. Margaret to give you special care." When he said these words, Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu all the way, his calm gaze showed that this was his true opinion and attitude, not deceit or excuse. Before Xia Yu came, he didn''t report much hope, but now he just put it forward and tried his best, and it didn''t leave any regrets. So at the beginning, he said that this incident was just one of his goals. Since there is no hope in Duke Carter Howard now, there is no need to talk about this topic, and he will think of other ways. I saw Xia Yu nod slightly and said to Duke Carter Howard with a little gratitude: "Sir Carter, it doesn''t matter, I''m just talking about this. I know the difficulty of it. I will think of other ways." "I have some other things I want to consult with you." Duke Carter Howard picked up his teacup and took a sip of coffee, and said slowly, "Please speak!" Xia Yu cleared his throat and said loudly: "Sir Carter, now there are only two months away from 1982. According to the term of office, the time limit of Sir MacLehose of Hong Kong is about to expire, and it is almost time to confirm it. Is the one-term Governor of Xiangjiang selected?" Duke Carter Howard immediately understood the meaning of Xia Yu''s words. Xia Yu wanted to directly intervene in the appointment of British personnel, and replaced him with the Governor of Xiangjiang who would obey him! He frowned and looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said: "Mr. Xia, as the Duke of England, it is my mission and duty to maintain the prestige and honor of the United Kingdom. Do you think it is appropriate for you to talk to me about the subversion of the British colony? ?" Xia Yu''s face was serious, and he immediately corrected: "Sir Carter, I want to correct you. Xiangjiang is not a British colony. Only part of it is leased to the United Kingdom. The lease term is 99 years. This concept cannot be wrong!" "In 1972, the United Nations General Assembly made it clear that Xiangjiang was not a colony." "I won''t mention the sovereign and non-sovereign. I don''t want the prefix''indigenous from the British colony'' to appear on my head. This is an insult to my personality and a denial of my strength." Duke Carter Howard and Xia Yu looked at each other for a moment. He voluntarily backed down, apologized and said, "Well, I''m sorry, I made a mistake. Xiangjiang is indeed a leasehold in the UK." "and." "I have never looked down upon you. You should understand the truth of what I said." At this time, Elena hurriedly said: "Yes, Xia Yu, my father didn''t think that way." Xia Yu said with a smile, "Elena, don''t worry, I''m not arguing with your father." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Duke Carter Howard and said with a smile: "Sir Carter, I''m sorry I spoke a little louder just now. I hope you can understand that I have a stronger self-esteem." Duke Carter Howard also went down the steps, waved his hand and smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I should apologize. I didn''t go through the brain when speaking, and didn''t pay attention to the wording." "You should also know that Britain still has many colonies all over the world, and I am not very interested in these, so I didn''t have a deep understanding of the nature of these places." After the apology, it seemed to express his as always friendly attitude. He took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xia, I understand your concerns. Xiangjiang is your hometown and the gathering place of your career. The prosperity of Xiangjiang is very important to you. Political stability is the foundation of economic development, and everyone knows this." "But the appointment of the Governor of Xiangjiang needs to be confirmed by the Queen, and Ms. Margaret has the power to recommend." "In this regard, it is inappropriate for me to come forward, otherwise it will easily become the handle of the enemy''s attack, which will damage the reputation and interests of our family." "If you can persuade Prince Philip and let him help you, you are more likely to succeed." Speaking of this, Duke Carter Howard paused for a long time again to say a few words that were very pertinent and thorough. "Furthermore, Mr. Xia, in fact, after Governor MacLehose¡¯s term of office expires, it doesn¡¯t matter what the next Governor¡¯s attitude is. His limited autonomy will not pose a fatal threat to you. The greatest role of Governor Xiangjiang is to implement Tangning. The order and will of the street, your direction should be aimed at Downing Street." "And Ms. Margaret is relatively tough in diplomacy. Now because her economic recession containment effect is not obvious, and the sale of state-owned enterprises has caused the unemployment rate to remain high, her support rate is now declining. Under such circumstances, Bowing their heads on the Xiangjiang issue is likely to make the people more disappointed in her, which is not conducive to her re-election." Xia Yu said gratefully: "Sir Carter, first of all thank you for your advice." "But I still want to say that Xiangjiang is different from a British colony." "Even the British colonies have continued to have independent colonies in the past 20 to 30 years. As many as 50 countries such as Malaysia, Star City, Tanzania, South Africa, etc., are independent. All these countries are fine. It is just the Hong Kong of leased land. I just hope it can be stable, and how much prestige can it lose to Britain?" "As for what you said will affect Ms. Margaret''s re-election, as a supporter who appreciates her, I will definitely not harm her." "I have prepared something extremely important, which can redeem great international prestige for the UK, which is enough to offset the influence of Hong Kong." "Of course, if things like this sink and disappear, I can assure you that the prestige of Britain will be hit hard." When Duke Carter Howard heard this, he looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu looked at Carter Howard calmly, with a very clear attitude. What he said was true. For an instant, Duke Carter Howard''s expression kept changing. n. v3 Chapter 1071: Rohir family alert The influence of Britain in the world determines the influence and the upper limit of their strength in the world of British big families. For these nobles, of course, they hope that the stronger the UK, the better. But now is not a hundred years ago, after all, the myth that the sun never sets empire has long been shattered. Especially in the past two to three decades, as not only British colonies have established their own country, but the British influence abroad has plummeted, and its prestige has also declined. Although most of these post-independence countries have joined the British Commonwealth organization, with the loss of various rights, the United Kingdom is very strenuous. The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to take! The rise of domestic capital in various countries and the capital invasion of the United States have also continuously eroded the interests of British capital. Although Xiangjiang is a leased land, the situation is most obvious. The original four major British consortiums have been killed by Xia Yu, and the remaining one is still lingering. From a glimpse, the Howard family''s interests outside the UK are constantly declining. Moreover, the Howard family has been a royalist since ancient times, and Duke Carter Howard is absolutely unwilling to see the influence of Britain plummet again. And based on his understanding of Xia Yu, Xia Yu didn''t need or tell lies to him. Thinking carefully, Xia Yu said he had to be more cautious! There was a long silence. Although he felt that Xia Yu would not tell him, Carter Howard still wanted to give it a try. It''s just that Xia Yu didn''t want Duke Carter Howard to ask questions. After all, whether he said it or not, the result was not what he wanted. So seeing Duke Carter Howard want to speak, he said first: "Sir Carter, I can use my personality to be responsible for what I say. Since you don''t want to be involved, then I don''t know if you can contact Prince Philip for me?" Duke Carter Howard swallowed the words back into his stomach. He looked at Xia Yu in silence for a long time, and slowly nodded: "Yes." ... Two flowers bloom, one on each table. When Xia Yu was dining at the Howard family, the Rothschild family also got some information about Xia Yu. Lohill family castle. When Jacob Rohill was preparing to eat, he suddenly saw his cousin Evelyn Rohill coming in. "Evelyn, you came just right, let''s have a meal together." Evelyn Lowhill glanced at the food on the table, smiled lightly and said, "Okay." When Evelyn Rohill was on the table, the servant soon brought out a whole set of cutlery. "Evelyn, why are you free to come back today?" Jacob Rohill asked casually while cutting the steak. Evelyn Rohill said immediately: "The main thing is that I got an extremely important news. I think it may have a lot to do with us, so I will come back and tell you." Jacob Rohill moved for a while, looked up at his cousin, and asked: "What is the urgent news?" Evelyn Rohill cut off the steak with a knife, used a fork to fork the small part, and said concisely: "Xia Yu came to London yesterday and set off for the Howard family this morning." After speaking, he put the cow into his mouth and chewed with his mouth closed, but he looked straight at Jacob Rohill. As expected, Jacob Rohill was very concerned about the news, frowned slightly, and after thinking about it for a moment, he suspiciously said: "He hasn''t been to London for almost a year. Carter Howard, is it for the new telecommunications company?" Evelyn Lohill shook his head and said, "I don''t know about this. He has strong security forces both on the surface and in the dark. We can''t detect his conversation and specific itinerary." "But considering that the last time he joined the Howard family and Prince Philip to take down Dadong Telecom, it proved that he was very interested in the telecommunications market. So at this time, I can''t think of his other purpose besides the telecommunications market." "How is Margaret''s attitude?" Jacob Rosill shook his head slightly and said: "It''s not clear for the time being. I met her and she didn''t give a clear answer. We have to work harder." Evelyn Lowhill looked slightly serious, and said in a deep voice, "Then we should pay more attention. According to the information that Charles reported from Xiangjiang, Xia Yu made a huge amount of money in this sudden stock market disaster in Xiangjiang. Profit, his Jiuding Consortium has spent more than four billion pounds in funds, and his amount of funds is still terrifying." "We have to prevent him from losing his mind and competing for the second telecommunications company at all costs." Jacob Rohill nodded in agreement, and said in a deep voice: "Your consideration is correct. For him, we must treat him with a more rigorous attitude." Speaking of this, after a moment of indulgence, Jacob Rohill said again: "Evelyn, you will mobilize your strength to keep an eye on Xia Yu''s itinerary, and at the same time do your best to investigate the real purpose of his coming to London~www.novelhall. com~ On my side, I will again step up efforts to compete for new telecommunications companies." "Well, no problem." Evelyn Lohill nodded and agreed. ... Xia Yu didn''t know about the actions of the Rohill family. Because after the Howard family had lunch, he left for Windsor, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, Berkshire, in the south-east of England. In the Howard family castle, Duke Carter Howard has agreed to Xia Yu''s request and is willing to be the intermediary. He talked to Prince Philip on the phone. The specific meeting place will be at Windsor Castle in Windsor Town. Because at this time, the Queen and Prince Philip are on vacation in the world''s largest inhabited castle. Unfortunately, when Xia Yu came to Windsor, the queen happened to return to London temporarily. Prince Philip, because of an agreement with Xia Yu, stayed in the castle and waited to meet Xia Yu. Windsor Castle is also the main administrative residence of the British monarch, and it is naturally the top defensive power. For this reason, Xia Yu''s bodyguard team was taken seriously. He only entered Windsor Castle with Elena and met Prince Philip, who was already 60 years old, in the simple and elegant reception hall. At the age of sixty, although he has fewer wrinkles on his face than his peers due to careful maintenance, his shiny forehead and sparse hair are also obvious marks left on him by the years. When he saw Elena who was intimately accompanied by Xia Yu, Prince Philip''s eyes flashed a little bit of surprise, and his gaze at Xia Yu changed a little. He seemed to have misunderstood something. "Mr. Xia, and the beautiful and pure Ms. Elena, welcome you!" Prince Philip stood up and welcomed Xia Yu and Elena with a smile. v3 Chapter 1072: Some countries want to launch with Britain... Chapter 1072 Some Country Wants To Launch With Britain... "Prince Philip, thank you for your welcome. It''s an honor to be able to come to Windsor Castle. It''s dizzying for me to come in all the way. It is really a very spectacular building." Xia Yu stretched out his hand and shook Prince Philip, smiling flatteringly. "Uncle Philip, good morning!" Elena greeted Prince Philip in a low voice. Prince Philip is his highest title. In addition, he also has the Duke of Edinburgh, the Earl of Meliones, the Baron of Greenwich, the Royal Knight of the Noble Garter, the oldest and most noble Knight of the Order of Thistle, and the Order of the British Empire. The noble master and chief knight and so on. As one of the dukes, Prince Philip and Duke Carter Howard are very familiar friends. Elena has met him many times and called his uncle since childhood. Looking at Elena, who was smiling and staying quietly next to Xia Yu, like a gentle and virtuous wife, Prince Philip became more sure of his guess. He smiled at Elena, and then invited Xia Yu and Elena to sit down. "Mr. Xia, and the beautiful Elena, please sit down!" "What do you want?" "I can, everything in Windsor Castle is worth savoring." Xia Yu deliberately said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, and gave Prince Philip a special look. As the saying goes, it¡¯s not surprising that people are courteous. Everyone likes to listen to good things. It¡¯s the cheapest way to get the favor of others. Prince Philip was very happy, he laughed, and he looked at Elena again. Elena immediately said softly: "Uncle Philip, mine is the same as his, thank you!" "no problem!" Prince Philip glanced at Xia Yu and Elena with some profound eyes. After speaking, he told the servant who was waiting: "Use the best coffee." "Ok." The servant responded respectfully, then quietly stepped back to prepare. "Elena, how is your father okay recently? I haven''t seen him for two months." "Uncle Philip, thank you for your concern. My dad is doing well. He was with me when he came and wanted to find you to play golf." "Oh? It''s easy. I''ll call him later and make an appointment to relax." ... After chatting casually with Elena, Prince Philip looked at Xia Yu again and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xia, when did you come to the UK? I have met your subordinate manager George several times and asked him He said you didn''t come to England." Xia Yu answered with a smile: "Prince Philip, I flew to London the afternoon before yesterday, because I haven''t been here for a long time, and there are a lot of things for me to deal with here, and I didn¡¯t have the first time to deal with things. I''m really sorry to visit you." Prince Philip smiled and waved his hand and said: "You don''t need to apologize, I can understand that you can handle the matter in a short period of time, which already impresses me." "It''s me, maybe I can''t finish it in a week!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "Prince Philip, you are so humble. My business can''t be compared with yours, and with your ability and experience, handling things must be more efficient than mine. I still have a lot to learn from you. The place." "Haha..." ... In the middle of the casual chat, the servant brought up steaming fragrant coffee, and Xia Yu brought up the topic through the coffee, and chatted with Prince Philip for a long time about coffee planting, production and taste. For Xia Yu, a young, promising and powerful tycoon who is also a partner, Prince Philip didn''t put on any airs, and talked with Xia Yu like an old friend for many years. After finishing another topic, after taking a sip of coffee and taking a break, Prince Philip finally asked what Duke Carter Howard had mentioned to him on the phone. "Mr. Xia, I heard Sir Carter say that you want to talk to me about something about British prestige and influence. What is it?" After Prince Philip asked, with a gentle smile, he looked at Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu nodded, and said with a light smile: "Yes, this matter is very important." "But I have an unrelenting request. I hope this matter will be linked to another matter." Prince Philip''s smile was slightly stagnant. Xia Yu was about to make a request, but this kind of thing was normal. He saw a lot and didn''t have the slightest emotion. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Mr. Xia, please speak." Xia Yu smiled faintly and continued: "Prince Philip, you may know that I am from Xiangjiang. My career and foundation are basically in Xiangjiang. The reason why I have been able to invest in the UK on a large scale in recent years is because I earn money in Xiangjiang. When it comes to money, the prosperity of Xiangjiang determines the upper limit of my career." "But some time ago, because of Xiangjiang''s instability, its prosperous economy was directly destroyed. A sudden stock market crash wiped out all the achievements of Xiangjiang in the past ten years." "Xiangjiang''s economy wants to recover again, I don''t know how much investment and how long it will take." "And now Xiangjiang is still affected by unstable political factors, which is even more detrimental to Xiangjiang''s economic recovery." "So whether it is for the private and business sectors of Hong Kong, or for me to have more capital to invest in the UK in the future, I hope that Hong Kong can develop steadily." Prince Philip looked serious, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xia, do you know? You are now interfering in British diplomacy. This is a very serious issue!" Without changing his face, Xia Yu shook his head calmly and said: "Prince Philip, I am not interfering in British foreign policy. I am just representing the citizens of Xiangjiang and the attitude of Xiangjiang Capital. The people in Xiangjiang are panicked. How many people are ruined and still Many people worry about the future of Xiangjiang, so they continue to emigrate. This is a livelihood issue for Xiangjiang." "Now Xiangjiang is under British rule. It is the UK''s responsibility to manage and develop Xiangjiang well. My demands should be reasonable and legal." Prince Philip looked solemn, but did not speak for a long time. Because what Xia Yu said is justified and well-founded, no matter what, one cannot deny that Xiangjiang is now governed by the United Kingdom, and the citizens of Xiangjiang directly have British nationality. The poor development of Xiangjiang is the responsibility of the British government. This is beyond doubt! But Prince Philip is not stupid, and he also knows the deeper things. If he dares to agree to Xia Yu''s request and the British government dares to agree, it is equivalent to giving up the dispute over the ownership of Xiangjiang. Because once confronted with the mainland, Xiangjiang, which is in the middle, will be affected by political turmoil, and Xiangjiang will not be able to stabilize. And if Xia Yu was promised, then the British government could not engage in sabotage in Xiangjiang. So this is not what he is willing to promise in his heart, nor is he able to promise. Thinking of this, he was ready to shake his head and refuse. Seeing Prince Philip¡¯s move, Xia Yu said again before he said his refusal: "Prince Philip, if I know a piece of news, is there a country preparing to go to war with Britain? I will use this news in exchange, what do you think? ?" Prince Philip''s eyes widened, he stood up abruptly and blurted out in shock: "War?" "you sure?" Xia Yu smiled faintly and said, "I won''t lie about this kind of thing!" "Which country dares to provoke the majesty of the British Empire!" After Xia Yu affirmed, Prince Philip said angrily, staring at Xia Yu with round eyes, hoping that he would say the answer immediately. But Xia Yu remained unmoved, still smiling, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Prince Philip, I can''t easily say this." Prince Philip took a breath and felt a little irritable. He took a deep breath and sat down again. He stared at Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, you are also a British citizen. It is a citizen''s duty to maintain national security. You want to talk about it. The question of Xiangjiang can be put to the next step. When it comes to war, every minute and every second is very important." Xia Yu didn¡¯t laugh anymore this time. He said to Prince Philip with a serious expression: ¡°Prince Philip, the reason why I associate the prosperity of Xiangjiang with this incident is also because of my status as a British citizen. If the British government thinks I am a British citizen with legitimate rights and interests, so the government has the responsibility to maintain the prosperity of Xiangjiang and fully develop Xiangjiang. I think I have received the rights and benefits of citizens, then I will definitely do my duty." "If the government does not treat me as a citizen, and I cannot enjoy the rights and benefits, then there is no reason for me to fulfill my obligations!" "Rights and obligations are equal!" "Isn''t it?" Prince Philip was speechless. This is a closed loop. He can''t find a valid reason anymore. In the case where the high-sounding words fail, he can only use real benefits. Prince Philip condensed his eyebrows for a long time before slowly saying: "Mr. Xia, I have no right to express my opinion about Xiangjiang, and I cannot promise you." "I will go to the Prime Minister with you, and you will talk to her." The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth made a curve, nodded and said: "No problem!" n. v3 Chapter 1073: Put Argentina on the negotiating table After Xia Yu and Elena left, Prince Philip packed up his things and returned to London. He met his wife and Margaret Thatcher one after another, and informed them of the content of their meeting with Xia Yu. The two people''s opinions are very unified. Margaret Thatcher will meet with Xia Yu on behalf of the government. The stability of Xiangjiang can be discussed, but the premise is to ensure that Xia Yu''s news can play a huge role in Britain. Ten o''clock in the morning the next day. Xia Yu arrived at No. 10 Downing Street and saw Margaret Thatcher, who hadn¡¯t seen him for a long time, and Prince Philip, who had just met yesterday, in the prime minister¡¯s luxurious meeting room. The surface work of politicians has always been done well, and the atmosphere of meeting is very friendly. After a simple greeting, Margaret Thatcher sat on the main seat, invited Xia Yu to sit on the sofa on the left, and Prince Philip on the sofa on the right. According to the division of labor as stated yesterday, today Prince Philip is mainly as an observer, and the negotiation is dominated by Margaret Thatcher. As time is urgent, and it involves serious issues like war. Therefore, Margaret Thatcher did not chat with Xia Yu too much, and went straight to the topic. I saw her looking at Xia Yu solemnly and said: "Mr. Xia, Prince Philip told me the general information yesterday. After discussion, we reached a preliminary opinion." Xia Yu condensed his eyes, looked straight at her, and concentrated his attention. Margaret Thatcher continued: "The stability of Hong Kong can be negotiated, but only if your information is of great help to the UK." "I represent the government, and Prince Philip represents the royal family and is responsible for this promise!" "Of course it''s okay!" Xia Yu suddenly smiled and nodded. Now that the Prime Minister and Prince Philip put the stability of Xiangjiang on the negotiating table, the last trace of worry in his heart is gone. His confidence is getting stronger! "Then, please tell us the details you know." Margaret Thatcher said immediately. Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is a long story. I just made preparations in advance and wrote the relevant information in my notebook. Please wait a moment!" After speaking, Xia Yu opened the briefcase he brought, took out a notebook in the eyes of Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip, and then solemnly handed it to Margaret Thatcher. . The latter immediately took the notebook and opened it, and Prince Philip also looked over. The above information was handwritten by Xia Yuchun, and the printer was useless. Fortunately, his handwriting is very beautiful, and there is no obstacle to browsing. When they saw an obvious country name, both Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip looked incredulous. Argentina! It turned out to be Argentina? How do they have the guts? It''s just a wild talk! Margaret Thatcher wanted to throw the notebook out of her hand for a moment, but considering that Xia Yu was used as a bargaining chip to negotiate, Xia Yu could not fool them, so she kept her patience and kept looking down. Just as she kept browsing, her mentality gradually changed. Seeing Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip''s expressions becoming more solemn and cold, the corners of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he drank his coffee leisurely. At the same time, he once again deduced in his mind how the simulation would be more appropriate for a while. After a long time, Margaret Thatcher and Prince Philip finally read the information in the notebook, and their faces were very solemn. "Argentina Provisional Military Government!" Thinking of everything in her mind about the Argentine Interim Military Government, Margaret Thatcher flashed in her eyes. If someone told her before that Argentina dared to provoke Britain and launch a war against Britain, she would never believe it. Although Argentina is now a large South American country and the British influence is weakening, it is not something that Argentina can provoke! Furthermore, she has not received the following report on the attitude and instability of the Argentine military government. And to be honest, the territorial conflicts between Britain and Argentina are mainly concentrated in the Malvinas Islands. With the continuous loss of overseas colonies after World War II, Britain''s attitude towards overseas colonies has changed. In the past two decades, the British government has analyzed the Malvinas Islands, which are isolated in a corner of the South Atlantic, many times. This is a heavy burden, and giving up is the best choice. It''s just that because of the lack of resources on the islands and most of the residents are British. They have no independent capital and do not want to become Argentines. They have been hanging in the air. Even the British government has repeatedly persuaded the islanders to accept Argentina so as Get away. Especially in the past ten years, the British government has been actively negotiating with Argentina in an attempt to properly resolve the Falkland Islands issue. It has also signed a number of agreements. The United Kingdom has not only agreed to allocate the nationality of the island¡¯s residents and resources such as oil and fishing For Argentina, even after Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, he further mentioned the new plan of returning the sovereignty of Falklands to Argentina and the gradual transfer of administrative power. No matter how you look at it, it''s like letting Argentina wait to receive Falkland Islands! One wants, one wants to give. Negotiations have been going on for almost 20 years, and the results will soon be seen. So after seeing Argentina at the beginning, Margaret Thatcher would feel very absurd, and only when Argentina gets his brains will take the initiative to launch a war. But after reading Xia Yu''s intelligence and analysis, Margaret Thatcher is now dubious. She somewhat believes that the risk of war is there, and it is not small. Because "foreign wars can transfer internal contradictions" has been tested by history, and this is a mistake made by dictators in the past! The group of stupid and muscular men in the Argentine military government is really likely to do unreasonable things. The domestic situation in Argentina has become out of control, let alone a military government that has barely shown its ability to govern the country for decades. It may not be possible to reverse it if it is replaced by the British government. After all, the situation in the UK is not too light compared to Argentina. If so, the UK is still struggling in the quagmire. According to the information written in Xia Yu¡¯s notebook, Argentina¡¯s internal conflicts are now very acute. Statistics show that in the past six months, Argentina¡¯s inflation rate has exceeded 500%, and its GDP has been three consecutive quarters. A year-on-year decline of more than 10%, the decline in manufacturing output has fallen by more than 20%, while the increase in worker wages has not exceeded 20%. The Federation of Trade Unions in Argentina, which has gained more and more supporters, has launched a long-term general strike, and the government has been spurned and hated by the people. The chairman of the Argentine military governing committee and the commander-in-chief of the army, Oboldo Fortunato Galtieri, is incompetent and incompetent. He has been relying on high pressure to reluctantly maintain his rule. Now the opposition in Argentina is one after another. Galtieri urgently needs political achievements to prove the military. The timeliness of the government proves that it can change the country! The solution is to recapture the Falklands with a strong hand and become an Argentine national hero. ... For a long time, Margaret Thatcher put the notebook on the table, her complexion recovered, she looked at Xia Yu quietly, and slowly said: "Mr. Xia, I have read the information, but this information is full of uncertainty. ." "And most importantly, Argentina will never be our opponent, and we will not fail!" In the last sentence, Margaret Thatcher said powerfully, as if she was telling an established fact. The negotiation has officially begun! Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said in a hurry: "Ms. Margaret, although the British army has not fought in 20 years, the strength of the United Kingdom is beyond doubt. I believe that in the world, Argentina is absolutely Not an opponent of Britain." "But Falkland Islands is next to Argentina, but it spans half of the earth for Britain. The supply and troop lines are too long." "I believe that before seeing my information, no one will believe that Argentina wants to retake the Falkland Islands by force. For example, if you have not received such information, you can see that the people below do not take this piece of information. Take it seriously." "Under this situation, can the Falklands garrison resist the Argentine army?" "Once the Argentine government successfully retakes the Falklands, Britain''s reputation will be hit hard." "With my current intelligence, as long as Britain prepares well in advance, it will be able to thoroughly teach the Argentine military government, and it will certainly be able to achieve a full victory. It will be a huge victory for you and for the United Kingdom. ." "To be honest, the value of this intelligence is extremely huge." Margaret Thatcher''s eyes flickered, and her heart moved. She has been in office for so long. Because of the privatization reform, the unemployment rate has risen sharply and her support rate has been declining. And her diplomatic achievements are not much. If she can show her tough foreign policy by beating Argentina, she can definitely improve the trend of temporarily stopping the decline of British influence, and it can also give herself a greater approval rate... just¡­¡­ The stability of Xiangjiang is also a relatively important direction of her diplomacy. Xiangjiang''s geographical position in Asia is also very important, and she still does not want to give up. Must maximize benefits! After thinking about it, she looked sharply at Xia Yu and asked: "But Mr. Xia, none of this happened. This intelligence contains too many speculations. What do you think the Argentine military government will be in? Time to act?" Xia Yu pretended to think for a moment, and said affirmatively: "According to the current situation in Argentina, Galtieri can''t hold on for too long, he can only hold on for more than half a year at most." Margaret Thatcher frowned on the weekend and asked questioningly: "In other words, around April next year, Galtieri will act. What if he does not act?" Facing Margaret Thatcher¡¯s aggressive posture, Xia Yu¡¯s smile faded away. He sat upright and said solemnly: ¡°He will definitely act. This is the only way he can maintain his rule. If he doesn''t do this, he will only be ousted." "As a dictator, he has a high probability of doing this." Margaret Thatcher bit a bit and retorted: "But none of this has happened yet, and it may not even happen." "So if you want to use this intelligence as a bargaining chip, it''s not enough." Prince Philip also sipped and said: "Mr. Xia, the Prime Minister is right. The value of your intelligence cannot be reflected intuitively. It is full of uncertainty." Margaret Thatcher looked regretful, and her tone was full of regret and helplessness: "It''s a pity that we can hardly agree to your terms." Xia Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Margaret, first of all, I want to declare one more point. The British government has the right and obligation to manage and develop Hong Kong. Even if Argentina will not make any extraordinary moves, the United Kingdom has the obligation to let Xiangjiang resumes prosperity." Seeing that Margaret Thatcher''s face was a little ugly, Xia Yu''s tone became softer and slowly said: "Of course, what you said makes sense, then we can choose a compromise!" v3 Chapter 1074: ï¿¡5 billion "Please speak!" Margaret Thatcher calmed down and looked at Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu said lightly: "Anyway, it''s only half a year. It''s not a long time. You can determine the British harvest and the role of intelligence based on the situation." "If it does happen, there is no need to hire a dedicated evaluation team at that time. Major media all over the world will rush to report. They are the most impartial third-party evaluation team. What do you think?" Half a year is still too late. Although the Governor of Hong Kong was elected first at the end of this year, he will officially take office around May next year. If the Falklands War really happens, it must have already happened by then. Even if the new governor takes office, as long as the British government will issue an order, the new governor will still have to implement it. There is no problem. Margaret Thatcher looked at Xia Yu for a long time, then slowly nodded and said, "Yes." Xia Yu showed a smile, and suddenly thought a little more, his smile narrowed, and then said again: "By the way, Ms. Margaret, I have one more statement." "If it is because the British government does not attach importance to my intelligence, which has caused a relatively large loss, then the value of my intelligence cannot be denied." Is Xia Yu afraid of the arrogant John Bull or sloppy? In case he was reminded, the French Flying Fish missile purchased by Argentina would destroy the cruiser as in his previous life. This certainly cannot be used as an excuse to shirk. It is better to get vaccinations in advance. Faced with Xia Yu''s apparently distrustful attitude, Margaret Thatcher was a little unhappy, but she didn''t say much, and simply nodded in agreement: "Yes." Seeing Xia Yu''s smile, Margaret Thatcher was not happy in her heart. She checked her watch and asked, "Mr. Xia, is there anything else?" The meaning is obvious, her time is relatively urgent, if nothing else, then this meeting will end here. Xia Yu knew that Margaret Thatcher must be in a bad mood, so he was not angry with her attitude. No matter how many situations, in front of the interests will disappear. He smiled faintly and said: "Ms. Margaret, I do have one more thing. I intend to invest 5 billion pounds in the UK in the next three years." Sure enough, Margaret Thatcher was shocked when she heard this huge number, and Prince Philip was equally shocked, and his eyes on Xia Yu changed. This funding is equivalent to about 2% of Britain¡¯s gross national product last year. If it can be fully invested in the UK, driven by the industrial chain, it can definitely generate tens of billions of pounds in benefits. How many employment problems can it solve? How much can it contribute to the British economy? It was just a moment, the unpleasant moment in her heart was wiped out, and a warm smile appeared on her face. "Mr. Xia, on behalf of the British government, I welcome your investment in the UK. There are many investment opportunities in China. Do you have a detailed investment plan? Do you need us to recommend it for you?" Xia Yu looked distressed, shook his head and said with a sigh: "Ms. Margaret, in the past two years, I have invested more than three billion pounds in the UK. For the time being, most of those who want to invest are invested. Now, the remaining areas are basically state-owned enterprises, and investment is not allowed. I am also distressed now." "I heard that the UK is now carrying out the reform of the telecommunications market and is preparing to establish a new telecommunications company. The telecommunications industry requires large-scale infrastructure construction, which consumes a lot of funds. I wonder if this is suitable?" Margaret Thatcher condensed her eyes, and her smile narrowed slightly. She understood what Xia Yu meant. Is it just that the new telecommunications company wants Xia Yu to enter? Faced with an investment of 5 billion pounds, she fought fiercely in her heart. For a long time, she let out a sigh of relief and solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I am not sure about the new telecommunications company. I can only reply to you after I understand it." "In any case, the UK welcomes your investment." "Okay, I am waiting for your reply at any time!" Xia Yu said with a smile. After chatting a few more words, Xia Yu took the initiative to say goodbye. Perhaps because of Xia Yu¡¯s investment of 5 billion pounds in the end, Margaret Thatcher sent Xia Yu out with great enthusiasm to show her importance to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu left, Margaret Thatcher immediately summoned his confidantes to discuss, while Prince Philip went to Buckingham Palace. He needed to inform his wife of the meeting with Xia Yu. ... On the way back, Xia Yu was in a relaxed mood, and he did what he needed to do. The specific results need to be constantly striving for. To be honest, Xia Yu didn''t have much worry about whether Margaret Thatcher would break her promise. Although the face of a politician is like the face of a monkey¡ªif you say it changes, it changes, but it also has to be right for people and things. The key is to look at the factors of interest. Hong Kong gained financial autonomy in 1958, and the direct benefits that the British government can occupy are mainly military expenditures by the Hong Kong government, which are provided to the British troops stationed in Hong Kong. Last year, the Hong Kong government spent about 100 million pounds in military expenditures for various expenses for the British garrison However, Hong Kong is different from the British colony. It is only a leased land and is due to be returned in legal theory. This benefit cannot last long. If the benefits of breaking the wrist with the mainland are greater, there is no doubt that the British government will definitely choose to do so. However, in the face of Xia Yu''s huge investment and the income that this investment can generate, the direct benefit of 100 million pounds is insignificant. Among other things, if Xia Yu really invested 5 billion pounds in the UK, how could it provide the British government with 1 billion pounds in tax each year. Although Xia Yu didn''t say it clearly, he explained the issue of investment and the stability of Xiangjiang together. With the wisdom of Margaret Thatcher, he must be clear about the relationship between them. In the face of these, opening the investment threshold of new telecommunications companies to him alone is just a requirement that is not a requirement. Not to mention, before the direct monetary benefits, Xia Yu also threw out a huge value of intelligence, and gave enough. Under this circumstance, Margaret Thatcher must also carefully consider the consequences and losses caused by breaking her word. After all, Xia Yu''s strength and influence in the UK should not be underestimated. ... In the next few days, Xia Yu wandered through various banquets every day. As the second in command of the British Chinese Entrepreneur Consortium and the overlord of Xiangjiang, there are many people who want to curry favor with him. He can refuse invitations from ordinary people, but for invitations from people with a certain amount of energy, Xia Yu will readily accept the invitation, considering the need to spread and deepen his influence. On the fourth day after Margaret Thatcher met, Xia Yu got a reply from the British government and asked him to send someone to the government to discuss the new telecommunications company. Under Xia Yu''s sign, George Berkeley, who was already ready, led the team personally. n. v3 Chapter 1075: Blues Chelsea Around eleven in the morning. Xia Yu was still working in his own office in the headquarters of the Bright Fund, and George Berkeley took the people back. Seeing George Berkeley look relaxed, Xia Yudan said with a smile: "George, is the negotiation going well?" George Berkeley nodded, walked to the chair at Xia Yu''s desk and sat down, reporting to Xia Yu. "Boss, the negotiation situation is fair, right" "This is what the government intends. The newly established communications company must inject capital to 500 million pounds. Investors will subscribe to the equity and inject capital into the company. The government will not profit from it." "So the threshold for investing in a new telecommunications company is not just capital, but other ancillary conditions." "In the beginning, the government offered to give us 10% of the equity in the newly established telecommunications company, but the additional condition is that we need to invest more than 3 billion pounds in the UK within a year. The Ministry of Commerce will supervise the implementation. One clause will also be included in the contract. If the standard is not met, we are in breach of contract, and the government will recover 5% of the equity for free." "After preliminary negotiations, the investment amount within a year was reduced to 2 billion pounds. After feeling the negotiation was difficult, I temporarily suspended the negotiations and came back to ask you for instructions." Xia Yu sneered, obviously dissatisfied with the attitude of the British government. There is no doubt that today''s negotiators must have been instructed by Margaret Thatcher above. In his view, today''s negotiation is a test. But Xia Yu would not be fooled innocently. The 5 billion pound investment he and Margaret Thatcher offered was aimed at the stability of Hong Kong, but not the new second telecommunications company. The latter was just an addition. On the other hand, Margaret Thatcher wanted to use a second telecommunications company to trap part of his investment. When the time comes to talk about the stability of Xiangjiang, his bargaining chip will be reduced. Either the negotiation fails or he will be Margaret Thatcher took the opportunity to make other demands. After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Xia Yu opened his eyes again and looked at George Berkeley, and decisively ordered: "George, you can continue to negotiate with them, you can be stronger. Now it is the British government begging us to invest. Our bottom line is one to ten. proportion." "Let us invest in the second telecommunications company as much as the funds we invest in the UK will be multiplied ten times within one year." "You can ask them to put forward ancillary conditions. If the investment fails to meet the standard, half of the equity will be recovered, but we have to declare here that the investment time is not fixed. The British Ministry of Commerce cannot interfere." The registered capital of the new telecommunications company is 500 million pounds. If the British government wants them to invest 2 billion pounds according to the bottom line proposed by Xia Yu, it will have to take out 40% of the new telecommunications company''s equity. When such volatile conditions are put forward, the initiative will be on Xia Yu''s side, depending on how much equity the British government will give them. And the investment time became looser. Xia Yu also considered that the Falklands War would happen only half a year later. He could not invest much except to invest in new telecommunications companies, and wait until after discussing the stability of Hong Kong with the British government. investment. By then, even if the contract has been signed, as long as the funds are not implemented, the British government will definitely be more scrupulous and be able to gain more negotiation initiative for Xia Yu. After listening to this, George Berkeley smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, boss! I know what to do." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and then said: "George, you can get Dadong Telecom to also participate. Anyway, Dadong Telecom still has 49% government shares, and it can also provide technical support. If the second telecommunications company wants to compete, it absolutely cannot be without technology. "Okay!" George Berkeley responded again. ... While George Berkeley was busy with the second telecommunications company, Xia Yu checked the Rolls-Royce Motor Group and other companies in the afternoon. That''s how one day passed. In the evening, Henry came out of school on vacation and held a party at his home in London. He also invited Xia Yu to join him. That night, Henry''s classmates came a lot, except for Xia Yu and Elena at the party. The crowd did not leave until twelve o''clock in the evening. Because it was too late, Xia Yu simply stayed there for one night, of course... it was sleeping alone. Xia Yu got up early the next morning and practiced Tai Chi in the fresh air garden. Although London is located in the northern temperate zone, and it is now entering the November winter, England is surrounded by the ocean and is affected by the warm North Atlantic current. It has a temperate oceanic climate, so the winter in England is not cold. In November, the temperature in London is between 5¡ãC and 10¡ãC. When it is hot, it can even reach 20 degrees during the day. Thanks to Xia Yu practicing Tai Chi all the year round, his body is strong and his resistance is very strong, so he just wore a thin sweatshirt on his upper body, forming a strong white mist with the heat that he exhaled between breaths and drinks. The contrast. "Xia Yu, put on your coat, don''t catch a cold." Just as Xia Yu closed her fist and stood up, Elena, who appeared to be watching quietly, walked over with a coat and said softly with concern. Feeling the weight on his shoulders, a thick coat was added to him. Seeing the beautiful face close at hand, Xia Yu showed a warm smile. He grabbed Elena''s jade hand, but felt a chill. Xia Yu was taken aback, and then realized that it must be Elena standing outside with her coat, which caused her hands to not keep warm. Xia Yu''s heart warmed, and subconsciously held Elena''s two hands, then put both hands in front of her, exhaling warmly into her hands. Seeing Xia Yu warming her hands seriously and feeling the temperature from her palms, Elena''s face bloomed with a more beautiful smile. The usually steady and domineering Xia Yu suddenly showed such a gentle side, which made her feel the unparalleled charm of Xia Yu''s whole body. Before he knew it, Xia Yu also lifted his head, looking at Elena with gentle eyes, Elena''s eyes flickered, and her long and curled eyelashes quivered slightly. "Oh, I''m sorry, I seem to see a picture I shouldn''t be watching." At this moment, Henry''s voice sounded not far away, and Xia Yu and Elena awakened as they warmed up their emotions and wanted to have closer contact. Seeing Elena withdraw her hand in a panic, Xia Yu was very sorry, and looked reluctantly at Henry not far away, but only saw Henry walking back. It seems that this is really just an accident. Xia Yu shrugged and gave Elena a regretful smile. Elena blushed, and said softly, "Xia Yu, let''s go in for breakfast." "Ok!" Xia Yu responded, and walked into the villa side by side with Elena. When eating breakfast, Xia Yu felt a little funny looking at Henry, who was winking his eyebrows. Then he could not help but laugh when he saw Henry be beaten by Elena who had calmed down. Ignored Henry''s innocent and gloomy eyes. Xia Yu''s attention was attracted by the blue jersey he was wearing. There is a round team emblem on the chest. The upper half of the blue ring shading has golden stars and football patterns, the lower half is embroidered with CHELSEAFOOTBALLCLUB, and in the middle of the blue ring, there is a two-legged stand~ www.novelhall.com~ A lion with a golden scepter. This is the most famous team emblem of the Chelsea club! Xia Yu took a sip of milk and swallowed the bread, and asked: "Henry, are you a Chelsea fan?" Upon hearing Chelsea, Henry suddenly came to his energy. He nodded and said excitedly: "Of course, I am a big Chelsea fan." Just when Henry had just finished speaking, Elena''s abruptly uttered a sentence that made Henry crumble. "I just became a loyal fan for less than a year!" "Sister~" Henry, who was still proud of his face, suddenly shrugged his face, looked at Elena with resentment, and called his sister with a stretched tone. In that tone, full of grievances, like an angry little wife. Xia Yu laughed blankly, and then said: "Elena, time is just a way to prove whether you are a loyal fan. I don''t think Henry will lie in this regard." Xia Yu''s support and recognition shocked Henry and gave his sister a triumphant look. Elena shook her head with a chuckle, and after looking at Xia Yu, she continued to eat breakfast with a smile. "So Henry, are you going to watch the football game today? Is there any important game?" Faced with Xia Yu¡¯s question, Henry put down his bread and gushed: ¡°Yes, at 10 o¡¯clock this morning, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea¡¯s home stadium, Liverpool will challenge Chelsea. I have already booked a ticket. Make an appointment with your classmates to cheer for Chelsea!" "There, you talked about seeing the grand scene of the Blue Army defeating the Red Army." "Xia Yu, do you want to take a look together?" "I think, as long as you watch it, you will definitely become a big fan of Chelsea like me..." PS: emmm, this chapter is yesterday, I didn¡¯t expect that there will be so many things suddenly yesterday, embarrassing n. v3 Chapter 1076: It’s not bad to buy a team to play Seeing Henry''s swearing appearance, as if he wanted to pull Xia Yu into the gang, and he really loved Chelsea, Xia Yu laughed blankly. He and Elena looked at each other, then looked at Henry who looked expectant again, nodded and said: "Okay, I have come to the UK so many times and I haven''t watched a football match yet!" "I promise not to let you down, although Liverpool is very strong, but Chelsea will never lose!" Henry said in a spirited spirit. "Well, Henry, if you want to always have the strength to cheer for Chelsea, then now you have to fill your stomach." Hearing what his sister said, Henry calmed down a bit. He shrugged and said to himself: "Maybe, you are right!" After speaking, he continued to enjoy breakfast. ... After breakfast, Xia Yu and Elena accompany Henry to join his classmates, and then take a car to Stamford Bridge Stadium. Stamford Bridge Stadium is the home stadium of Chelsea. It is located on Fulham Road in the west of Fulham, very close to the Thames and the famous King''s Road. This stadium was officially opened in 1877. In the first 28 years, it was almost exclusively used by the London Sports Club, as a venue for sports games rather than as a football field. It was not until 1904 that HA Mills and his brother J.T. Mills obtained the ownership rights. Before that, they also obtained the land of a large market near the stadium. They planned to build on the 12.5-acre land. To build a football team. Initially this stadium was intended to be used by Fulham Football Club, but Fulham Football Club used a cheaper Craven Farm, so it refused this opportunity. No way, the unwilling Mills brothers made up their minds to set up a football club. Because the name of the "Fulham Football Club" that previously represented the Fulham area has been taken up, the Mills brothers changed from "Stamford Bridge Football Club", "Kensington Club", "Chelsea Club", "London Club", etc. The proposal was chosen, and in the end "Chelsea Football Club" became the name. It is also interesting to say that the Kensington-Chelsea area is next to Fulham, which is also a wealthy area. Therefore, if foreigners who are not familiar with English football come to London, it is easy to think that Chesil Football Club is located in the Chelsea area, but it is not known that it is located in the Fulham area. Elena¡¯s residence was in the Fulham area, so it took Xia Yu and others about five minutes to arrive outside Stamford Bridge. At this time, there are already a large number of fans lining up to check the tickets to enter the stadium. Xia Yu, who is not bad for money, naturally bought the best seats, and even changed the tickets of Henry¡¯s classmates, so that everyone can get together. Mainly for the sake of safety. After checking the ticket, everyone took the ticket to find the location, and came to the entrance seat of the West Stand. Not far away was the sculpture of King Osgood of Chelsea. Because the game hadn''t started yet, Xia Yu and Elena were chatting together, while Henry chatted very happily with a group of classmates. As time passed, more and more fans from both sides entered the stadium, and the Stamford Bridge stadium became more and more noisy. When the Liverpool team in the red jersey and the Chelsea team in the blue jersey entered the stadium, as the music sounded, the whole stadium rang out with deafening cheers. In this atmosphere, Xia Yu had a feeling of blood spurting. . After introducing the players, the players from both sides dispersed, and with a whistle, the game officially began. Only a minute or so from the start of the game, the Red Army began a blast offensive. The 20-year-old Liverpool star Ian Rush showed his sharp edge and rushed to the Chelsea goal with the ball. At this time, there were still many fans who hadn''t even entered the stadium, they were attracted by the shocking exclamation, and urgently turned their eyes to the green stadium. "Oh God, shovel him!" "Come on, stop him!" Henry and others beside Xia Yu hugged their heads and exclaimed, panicking at Chelsea''s situation. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, staring at the red figure dribbling the ball, and a thought flashed in his mind. Ian Rush, seems to be the super striker of the Red Army Liverpool, who also maintained Liverpool''s scoring record, and was even hailed as the greatest striker in Welsh history by fans and the media. While Xia Yu was thinking about it, Ian Rush and his teammates cooperated tacitly and broke into the Chelsea field. Then he faced the siege of the two and passed the ball to his teammate Kenny Dalglish, this Biye Enrush''s more mature and stable super shooter volleyed directly after receiving the ball. The football was against the grass and rushed into the net bag before the goalkeeper fell to the ground to intercept! The opening two minutes and thirty-two seconds, the Reds scored a goal! The whole stadium was silent for a moment, and then the Red Army fans uttered a loud cheering, and the larger number of Blue Army fans hugged their heads and wailed, as if they couldn''t believe that the team they supported lost the ball so quickly! Suddenly, swearing, wailing, and even crying, one after another. Glancing at Henry who was wailing, Xia Yu secretly shook his head. He already remembered that in history, the late 70s and the entire 80s seemed to belong to Liverpool, which belonged to the legend of the Red Army. Under the command of the famous Red Army marshals Shankly, Paisley, and Fagan, the Red Army is like a brutal red machine, quickly crushing all the obstacles that stand in front of them, and attacking the city all the way. In 17 years Won eleven league titles, four European Cups, four League Cups, three FA Cups, two UEFA Cups, and a European Super Cup, establishing the supremacy of British football in one fell swoop status. Because of the Liverpool team, English football has rolled up a red storm in Europe, making many opponents frightened. The famous Red Army coach Shankly also shouted out some classic words, such as: "There is no best football team in the world, because the best football team in the world has been killed by Liverpool!" "There are only two football teams in the world, one is called the Liverpool team and the other is called the Liverpool youth team!" ... There are many other famous sentences like this. It is only 1981, and the Heysel tragedy that interrupted Liverpool''s glory four years later in history has not yet occurred. At this time, the Red Army is at its peak, and it is difficult for Chelsea to win! Even occupy the home court advantage! Suddenly, Xia Yu seemed to have thought of something, caressed Elena''s hand, and asked in a low voice in her ear: "Elena, do you remember the current rankings of Chelsea and Liverpool in the league? It seemed to be listening in the car just now. Henry mentioned it, I didn''t remember." Elena smiled sweetly and said softly: "I remember Liverpool ranked first in total points, Chelsea ranked 19th, and only one goal difference from 20th." "I know." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said. Now there is no English Premier League that can be heard throughout the world, or even the English Championship. The top league in the UK is the English League. There are 22 teams in the entire English League, two more than the subsequent English Premier League. According to the last three relegation rules, Chelsea are now ranked nineteenth, just on the edge of the relegation zone. Like the 20th place score, there is only one goal difference, so after this game, it is estimated that you have to enter the relegation zone. The facts are just as Xia Yu expected. No matter how the Blues fans cheer for the rest of the time, and no matter how hard the Blues fight, they will not be able to beat the Reds Liverpool. Throughout the game, the Blues'' defense was sifted by Liverpool. How can a group of blue-collar players of the Blues be opponents of this group of top players in Liverpool? With a whistle, the game ended. Amidst the helplessness and wailing of the Blues fans, the score was fixed at 4-1! Chelsea fell into the relegation zone and the situation is precarious! After leaving the venue, Xia Yu sent Henry''s classmates back home, and then together with Elena, took Henry to a high-end garden restaurant. Looking at Henry who was still lost, Xia Yu and Elena looked at each other, he moved the stool, sat next to Henry, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hey, Henry, want to start. The league has only started for three months, and it¡¯s still early in May. Chelsea still have a lot of opportunities. The low ranking now does not mean that it will continue to fall behind." Henry raised his head, his eyes flickered, and tried his best to explain to Xia Yu: "Today is just good luck for Liverpool, in fact, Chelsea is very strong but..." "Well, I can''t make it up. Chelsea really sucks. The team I like has bad results. I am in a bad mood today!" "I''m sorry for asking you to watch such a terrible game. I shouldn''t have invited you." Xia Yu smiled and patted Henry on the shoulder, and said again: "Henry, it''s nothing. Chelsea''s loss to Liverpool is not ashamed. Look at the number of European giants losing to Liverpool over the years? The score is bigger. There should be a lot of them. If you want to start something, it''s nothing. As long as Chelsea continue to work hard, there is still a chance." When talking about opportunities, Henry looked frustrated, shook his head and sighed: "The opportunity is too slim. Chelsea has no money. It has a problem with its funds. Now the results are so bad, it has entered a vicious circle." "Maybe next year, Chelsea will be relegated to the second division. Hey...Chelsea is a rich team. In fact, the London market is very good. The market far exceeds Liverpool. It''s just that the management is terrible. Mills The family heard that there was another problem with the funds, and there is no money to invest in the transfer." "If you don''t have a star to play, and you can''t buy potential new stars, when will Chelsea be able to create its giants..." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly and asked Henry: "Henry, Chelsea has a financial crisis?" Henry did not notice the changes in Xia Yu, he subconsciously vomited: "Yes, the Chelsea club itself is in debt, and the Mills family has expanded the Stamford Bridge stadium, which has caused financial constraints. Now the stadium expansion projects have stopped." Xia Yu looked inexplicable, nodded slightly, and a thought came to mind. Maybe this is an opportunity. It''s not bad to buy a team to play... PS: Working overtime until almost eleven o''clock, another day with more than two o''clock in the morning... n. v3 Chapter 1077: Penetrate the British Telecom sector again After going to work in the afternoon, Xia Yu did not go to the busy George Berkeley, but called an executive of the investment banking department-Elton Colin, and ordered him to investigate the details of Chelsea Football Club and make an acquisition plan. . The reason for choosing him is that Xia Yu learned that he is an old fan, and may have a better understanding of the inside story of Chelsea Football Club and will be more efficient. The result did not disappoint Xia Yu. It took three days before and after. Elton Colin got a close look at the situation of Chelsea Football Club, and also made a complete acquisition plan. It was early in the morning on November 6. Presented to Xia Yu. The real situation of Chelsea Football Club is uncovered in front of Xia Yu. Chelsea Football Club is indeed in crisis! Moreover, there is no hope of rising after falling into the trough! Over the years, Chelsea Football Club''s situation has been up and down, and the results have been quite unstable. Especially in the past two years, it has been going downhill and on the verge of relegation. The team¡¯s poor results hurt the hearts of fans and disappointed fans again and again, so that fans voted with their feet, resulting in Chelsea Football Club ticket revenue. And advertising revenue plummeted. Prior to this, in 1977, when Chelsea Football Club''s performance was good, the Mills family had already initiated the reconstruction of the East Stand at Stamford Bridge in order to increase commercial income, and was preparing to build it into a stand with a three-tier suspension structure. , Not only has more seats, but the creativity of this design is now far ahead, but the difficulty and cost of construction have also increased. With the decline of Chelsea Football Club''s performance, the ticket purchase rate of the game is also declining, and the sharp decline in income has caused the Mills family to also start to restrain themselves. That''s all. What''s more terrible is that the British economy has been in a quagmire these years, the main business of the Mills family has also been greatly affected, and the family business capital chain is tight. For this reason, the Mills family had to delay the renovation project of the Stamford Bridge Stadium. Four years have passed, and the progress of the stadium renovation has reached half of the design level. Despite the delay of the reconstruction, the interest from the bank loan has been accumulating. The income of Chelsea Football Club is no longer enough to pay the bank''s interest, and it is not even enough to maintain the operation of Chelsea Football Club, let alone transfer. The market has bought superstar players. The vicious circle has emerged! To this day, Chelsea Football Club has a debt of 620,000 pounds. The Stamford Bridge Stadium does not belong to Chelsea Football Club, but the private property of the Mills family, which belongs to Stamford Bridge Assets, and the Mills family owns 100% of the company. However, in order to expand the Stamford Bridge stadium, the Mills family has a debt of 6.4 million pounds, and this debt, because of interest, continues to increase every year. It is worth noting that of the 6.4 million pounds of debt on the back of the Mills family, 3.86 million pounds belong to the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is the major creditor of the Mills family. In the acquisition plan, Elton Colin evaluated the assets of the Chelsea club, and the result was that the old or untalented players and the coaches were worthless. And the Mills family is now saving the family business, so it is very likely to negotiate to take over the Chelsea club free of charge at the cost of assuming a debt of 620,000 pounds. As for the Stamford Bridge Assets Company, only Stamford Bridge Stadium is valuable. The company is valued at around 9 million pounds, excluding the 6.4 million pounds of debt, and the net assets are around 2.6 million pounds. Considering that the Mills family is now in trouble, urgently need funds, and want to get rid of the burden of debt, so we will take the initiative in the acquisition. Elton Colin preliminarily determined that Stamford Bridge Assets could be bought for a price between two million pounds and two and five million pounds, at the cost of assuming the corresponding debt. With the whole plan, the initial plan will only require more than two million pounds. Even if you add in the funds for the subsequent completion of the reconstruction, it is only five or six million pounds. This sum of money may be a lot for the Mills family, whose assets are only more than 20 million pounds, but for Xia Yu, it is very rare. Nothing to say, I bought it! After laying down the information, Xia Yu instructed Elton Colin: "Elton, this project is left to you to handle. You can first communicate with the Royal Bank of Scotland. The assistance of the bank is more beneficial to the acquisition. ." "Acquire the Chelsea club as soon as possible!" "Besides, you can collect information on British football coaches and players, and then give it to me. Chelsea will need an all-round exchange of blood after the acquisition. It will be less than two months before the winter transfer period." Elton Colin, who is interested in football himself, was very interested in this task. He smiled and nodded in response: "Boss, promise to complete the task as soon as possible!" "Well, go!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, watching Elton Colin leave his office at a brisk pace. Next, Xia Yu continued to get busy. ... As time passed, the competition for the second telecommunications company became more and more fierce. Although there was no report in the newspapers, it was calm on the surface, but it was rough in the dark. Although the Roshir family, who had been watching Xia Yu''s movements closely, was unable to get close to Xia Yu due to the security of the net and Xia Yu''s Aegis, they had a better grasp of the movements of the Bright Fund. The Rohill family also knew that Xia Yu had secretly met Margaret Thatcher, but they didn¡¯t know what they were talking about. They could only speculate that Xia Yu had a talk with Margaret Thatcher based on the actions of the Bright Fund. Is the investment of the second telecommunications company. Thanks to the connections of the Rohill family, they learned about the negotiation process between the British Ministry of Commerce and the Bright Fund. In the face of Xia Yu''s big bargaining chip for real money, the Roshir family had to mobilize greater power and cost to intervene in the fight in order to occupy more shares. In addition to the Bright Fund and the Rothschild family, other major families and consortia in the UK did not watch, and stepped in to compete. It wasn''t until November 9th that the competition officially ended, and Margaret Thatcher''s cake distribution plan for the second telecommunications company was approved by Margaret Thatcher. George Berkeley returned from Downing Street with the results and hurried back to report to Xia Yu. Guangming Fund, in Xia Yu''s office, George Berkeley sat in front of Xia Yu and said cheerfully: "Boss, the new telecommunications company is called Mokerui Communications. It has the second British domestic telecommunications operating license issued by the government, and we have won 20% of the equity!" Twenty percent! Xia Yu''s eyes lit up, this ratio is definitely not less! "Good job!" Xia Yu said appreciatively. George Berkeley responded with a humble smile: "This is what I should do." "By the way, how is the remaining 80% of the equity distributed?" Xia Yu was a little curious about who had allocated other shares. "Boss, when the announcement was made at the meeting, I had already recorded the specific equity distribution. Because there are too many, you have to ask you to read it yourself." As George Berkeley spoke, he opened up what he had recorded in his notebook and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu scanned it carefully. Barclays Bank is 25%. 15% of Great Eastern Telecom. Lloyds Bank 11%. Ten percent of the National Westminster Bank. HSBC Holdings 9%. BP is 7 percent. Black Rose Capital is two percent. One percent of the Rock Fund. Sure enough, the Rohill family accounted for the majority, and the banking industry occupied a major position. The four major banks accumulatively hold more than 55% of the shares! But Xia Yu was not surprised. Except for Barclays Bank which mainly implements the will of the Rothschild familyThe other three banks are actually the convergence points of major British consortiums or established families. In fact, they are fighting in the name of the bank. In this way, the risk is small, the cost is low, and the money of the depositor is used. The individual capital is Xia Yu''s Bright Fund, Black Rose Capital and Locke Fund. Xia Yu''s Bright Fund is in a special situation, so it is very conspicuous. But Xia Yu didn''t care, he just had to get enough equity. As for how to do it later, it was the next thing. He doesn''t believe that if Mokerui Communications does not make money for a few years, there will be no shareholders to transfer shares. If you want to increase your holdings, you can choose the right time. After returning the notebook to George Berkeley, Xia Yu smiled and said to him: "George, you will leave some of the follow-up matters to you to follow up. The director of Mokerui, you have to choose your appointment carefully. In this company Here, we must have corresponding voice and influence." "I understand!" George Berkeley nodded solemnly. Xia Yu nodded slightly, and instead of repeating the warnings too much, he asked about Dadong Telecom. "How is the equity transfer of Dadong Telecom''s Xiangjiang Branch going forward?" "The progress is relatively smooth, and it can be successful in at most half a month." "Okay, tell me after success." "Ok!" After talking to George Berkeley again, Xia Yu sent him away. The matter of Mokerui Communication Company has been settled, and he also has a worry, so next, the focus will be on France! Two days later, just as Xia Yu was about to start his action, he received a call from Prince Philip and learned a news that surprised him but was reasonable. n. v3 Chapter 1078: Knight In the office, Xia Yu smiled, drinking tea indifferently. After listening to Xia Yu''s calm recount, Elena said with joy: "Xia Yu, in fact, based on your contribution to Britain, the royal family should have knighted you long ago. Although it is a bit late now, it is finally here." "From now on, do I have to call you Sir Xia?" Elena blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Xia Yu playfully and said. Although her father was a Duke, the rank was much higher than the knighthood that the royal family wanted to grant Xia Yu, but she was still very happy for Xia Yu, because it represented the royal family''s recognition of Xia Yu. Xia Yu stroked Elena''s hand and said jokingly: "Elena, then why should I call you, my lady?" Elena blushed and looked out the door with a guilty conscience, and found that the office door was still closed, so she relaxed. She gave Xia Yu a provocative look, and said with some arrogance: "It doesn''t count what you said, you have to ask my father if he agrees." Xia Yu smiled and embraced Elena in his arms, and said domineeringly: "Your father must agree if he disagrees, such a good son-in-law, can the whole world find a second one?" After speaking, Xia Yu didn''t wait for the shy Elena to answer, head straight down and caught the soft and warm XX. After a long time, Xia Yu looked up again, looking at her pretty face flushed, her eyes blurred, like a beautiful rose waiting to be picked by Elena, and a sense of satisfaction rose in her heart. Xia Yu''s hot gaze made Elena feel weak, but her instinct told her that if Xia Yu was allowed to continue, more things might happen. Therefore, after regaining some sanity, Elena reluctantly broke free from Xia Yu''s arms, tidyed up her top, and provoked the topic to divert Xia Yu''s attention. "Xia Yu, do you plan to accept the royal knighthood?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Of course, even if I abandon British assets, it is impossible to abandon you. Since I am destined to have a deeper connection with the United Kingdom, it is much more convenient to accept the royal knighthood, even though the title of knight It''s not precious." Although she knew that Xia Yu was deliberately coaxing her, women, all the same, like to listen to the sweet words of their beloved, Elena was so happy in her heart, she looked at Xia Yu''s eyes more tender and admiring. Closer to home. As Xia Yu said, the title of jazz is not precious, and here we have to mention the British honor system. Britain¡¯s honor system is very complicated, so I won¡¯t mention the others, just talk about the distinction between Lord and Sir. The Lord is a respectful name for the fifth-class nobles of the British Lord Marquis, but in fact there is no title of Lord, which is a blind spot for many people. Except for the hereditary aristocracy since ancient times, almost all the nobles in Britain now are life-long aristocrats, and the life-long aristocracy and the baron in the hereditary aristocracy are of the same rank, so they also enjoy the honorary title of lord. But for the Jazz, there is a clear difference. In the ranks of the honor system, the jazz is a class lower than the quasi-barons and higher than the gentlemen. Like gentlemen and quasi-barons, it does not belong to the nobility. The Queen of England can confer the Order of Jazz to people from any country. But only the people of the Queen of England, including those who own British nationals and some of the nationals of Commonwealth countries, have the right to enjoy the title of "jazz". For example, Lee Kimchee is a Korean citizen, and the Queen of England can grant him the Knightship of the British Empire, but Lee Kimchee cannot call himself Sir Lee Kimchee because he is not loyal to the Queen of England. Therefore, almost all foreigners who contributed to Britain were awarded the knighthood, not the nobility. Even if the title of nobility is granted, because of disloyalty to the Queen of England, the titled person cannot use the title of nobility. However, Xia Yu¡¯s words are Chinese with both British and American nationalities. When he was in Xiangjiang, he was a British national (overseas) by default. Legally he was a citizen of the Queen of England. So once he accepted the title of the Queen of England, except In addition to titles, titles of nobility or jazz can also be used. It is okay for others to call him Sir Xia. However, Xia Yu is "people in Cao Ying, heart in Han", even if he accepts the Queen''s knighthood, he also intends to let others call himself "Mr. Xia" instead of "Sir Xia", unless he participates in the British aristocracy later He could only use this title when he was in a party. ... Three days later. Xia Yu entered Buckingham Palace in a formal suit, and found that in addition to Prince Philip and his wife, there were still several dukes inside, which surprised him. Carter Howard, Duke of Norfolk, Ian Campbell, Duke of Argyll, Robert Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, and Porter Philip Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire. In addition to Duke Carter Howard, among the other three dukes, Xia Yu is slightly familiar with Duke Porter Philip Cavendish, because the majority of his equity in the Financial Times Group is from Porter Philip Card. It was bought from the Pearson Group in the hands of Duke Wendish. As for whether these dukes happened to be here, or deliberately came to bear witness, Xia Yu didn''t know and didn''t ask. Witnessed by everyone, the Queen of England held an award ceremony for Xia Yu, and personally wore Xia Yu with the Grand Cross, the highest level among the five knighthoods ("GBE" for men and women). The level is still On Bao Yugang, who was knighted the year before. He became the third Chinese in Xiangjiang after Jian Yueqiang and Zhong Shiyuan to win the first-level knighthood and the highest honor of knighthood. When he saw this medal, Xia Yu was only slightly surprised, and then some guessed that the royal family gave him such a high-level honor. But he didn''t care, whether Britain was for the sake of face-saving, or for psychological comfort in the back, a mere jazz title could not hinder the stability and money of Hong Kong. It can even be said that the royal family suddenly awarded him honors, and at this time, he was further enveloped. In fact, he was already planning for the worst. For Xia Yu, this was a good thing. Therefore, Xia Yu was in a good mood all morning. After the awarding ceremony, Xia Yu had planned to leave. Unexpectedly, Prince Philip invited to play golf, and several other grand dukes would go. Xia Yu readily agreed with his kindness. Enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at Buckingham Palace, during which the queen also actively asked Xia Yu about many things about Xiangjiang. Xia Yu''s answer was both cautious and witty. Some sensitive and profound topics were beaten by him using Tai Chi. Up. After lunch, the group boarded the royal Bentley motorcade and headed to the London Golf Club 20 kilometers away. This is one of the top golf clubs in London. It has a 36-hole championship golf course in the UK. Even one of the best hilly courses in Europe. During the chat, Xia Yu also learned that Prince Philip was still a major shareholder of this London golf club. Under the leadership of major shareholders, everyone is a powerful and powerful person. Naturally, they enjoy the super VIP treatment. Under the leadership of the staff, they went to the last central area. Standing on the hillside, with the breeze blowing, and looking at the pastoral scenery of nearly 700 acres, a breath of tranquility and peace comes to your face, giving people a whole-hearted enjoyment. "This golf course is great!" Xia Yu admired the host, Prince Philip, who was finishing the equipment again, and smiled happily. "This golf club is considered top in the world, Mr. Xia, I look forward to you having a pleasant afternoon This is for sure!" Xia Yu responded with a smile. While talking and laughing, the six people began to group, each of which formed a group of three. Xia Yu joined Duke Ian Campbell and Duke Carter Howard, and Prince Philip joined Duke Robert Grosvenor and Porter Philip Carr. A group of Duke Wendish. Although Xia Yu is the youngest, his golf skills are not inferior to anyone. However, in this entertaining atmosphere, where the focus is on social games, he did not intend to show the limelight. After a few bright moments, he became casual. After playing for a while, during the intermission, Duke Ian Campbell, who was familiar with a lot, walked up to Xia Yu and took out a very beautiful invitation. Xia Yu picked it up, and Duke Ian Campbell''s gentle voice rang in his ears. "Sir Xia, in three days I will hold an initiation ceremony for my child Tokushir Ian Campbell. I hope you can come!" Xia Yu was surprised, with a smile on his face, nodding and smiling: "Thank you Sir Campbell for your grand invitation. I will definitely participate." Duke Carter Howard came over to Xia Yu and said, "Sir Xia, you can go with me at that time, and Elena and Henry will also go there." "Oh?" Xia Yu raised his brows and looked at Duke Carter Howard somewhat unexpectedly. Before Duke Carter Howard could answer, Duke Ian Campbell smiled for Xia Yu. "Sir Xia, you may not know that Sir Carter''s children Elena and Henry are good friends with my children." Xia Yu really didn''t know this inside story. He smiled and said: "It turns out that it''s the case, it''s the first time I know..." "Haha..." PS: First update n. v3 Chapter 1079: Optimistic about your future son-in-law The invitation of the Duke of Argyll once again disrupted Xia Yu''s plan. But fortunately, there is still plenty of time, so it doesn''t matter if you delay some days. In order to go with Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu went to Norfolk one day in advance and stayed overnight at Castle Howard. The following morning, the group went to Inveraray, Argyll, Scotland. The name of the town was named after the Campbell family¡¯s castle Inveraray. On the way, Duke Carter Howard introduced to Xia Yu in advance the title of Duke of Argyll and the history and current situation of the Campbell family. Although Xia Yu knew a lot about the Campbell family, and even approached the Campbell family''s intelligence organization when he was on the forefront of Xiangjiang, he listened patiently to Duke Carter Howard''s narration. The Campbell family''s fief is in Argyll County, because the title is the Duke of Argyll, and the current patriarch Ian Campbell is Argyll XII. It is worth mentioning that the Duke of Argyll has other titles, such as "hereditary director of the Scottish royal family". The main responsibility of this position is to be responsible for the internal affairs of the royal family in Scotland. Therefore, as long as the Queen of England stays at Howley Road Palace in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, the Duke of Algay will always appear in various ceremonies. In terms of strength, the Campbell family is also much stronger than the Howard family. Although most of the family assets are fixed assets such as land, forests, and minerals, at least they exceed 10 billion pounds. Although the history of the Howard family is longer than that of the Campbell family, there is no way, who has let the Campbell family seize several historical opportunities! At about 10:40 in the morning, Xia Yu and his group arrived at Invera Castle, a Gothic Revival manor house on the shore of Lake Finney, the largest sea lake in Scotland. This huge castle, which started more than two hundred and thirty years ago, has gone through the design and improvement of several generations of architects, and was finally completed in 43 years. It is one of the magnificent symbols of the Campbell family and is no better than the Howard family. The Howard Castle is inferior and is one of the top castles in Scotland. The castle was originally a product of the European Middle Ages. In addition to being used for residence by the nobles, it also served as military fortification and political division. Inveraray Castle is a quadrilateral shape, except that the four corners are cylindrical arrow towers, and the top of the tower is crowned with a conical spire. There is a tower in the middle of the three-story castle, and the top of the tower is flying. banner. Paving the road through straight red gravel, Xia Yu and others came to the gate of Inveraray Castle, and they were greeted by Duke Ian Campbell who had just met a few days ago. The arrival of the Earl and Marquis does not require Duke Ian Campbell to come out, but Duke Carter Howard not only has the same status as him, but the two are friends who have known each other since childhood, so when he received the notice from the servant, he walked out to greet him. "Sir Carter, Sir Xia, and beautiful Elena and handsome Henry, welcome to you!" "Dear Sir Ian, good morning!" "Sir Ian, I greet you!" ... The four people say hello in different ways. Duke Carter Howard is obviously more casual, Xia Yu is not humble, and Elena and Henry, as juniors, use the interests of the nobles to greet Duke Ian Campbell. "Please come inside!" "Elena, and Henry, Mia, Heidi, Tokushir, and Weber are all upstairs. I will ask you to take you up to find them. They will be very happy to see you." Duke Ian Campbell was in a very happy mood and said to Elena and Henry with a gentle smile. "Thank you! I haven''t seen Mia and Heidi for a long time, and I miss them very much!" Elena said expectantly. While talking and laughing, Duke Ian Campbell accompanied the four people into the castle. In the huge castle hall, it has been temporarily transformed and arranged. There are already many beautifully dressed men and women in it. Xia Yu glanced at it and felt that a small number of them were familiar, and he did not know most of the nobles. But it doesn''t matter, Duke Carter Howard has already said before coming, and will introduce him throughout the process. After that, Elena took her younger brother Henry to the stairs, Xia Yu began to socialize. The guests who are eligible to be invited to the coming-of-age ceremony of the first heir to the Campbell family are all aristocrats with certain strength, and ordinary barons and viscounts are basically not present. These nobles have brought the outstanding children of their families, hoping to allow their children to establish contacts on this platform, and even to see if they can find their favorite people to facilitate the marriage of their families. Xia Yu just glanced, and saw many young and beautiful girls wearing dresses like Elena, with white sandy gloves on their arms, white gauze on top of their heads, and some jewels on them, making themselves beautiful The side is shown. But these noble ladies are beautiful, just look at them. Xia Yu doesn''t plan to hook up. It''s better to communicate with their dad more in this time. Time slowly passed, more and more VIPs arrived, and the atmosphere on the scene became more heated. When it was eleven thirty, Xia Yu had just finished communicating with an earl when he heard someone calling his name softly. It''s Elena''s voice. He followed the prestige, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. Elena was walking down the stairs with five pure and beautiful girls, each wearing a noble dress, and most importantly, two of them looked exactly the same. Xia Yu walked over with a calm expression and bowed slightly to say hello to a few beauties: "Beautiful ladies, hello, I am Xia Yu!" "This is my friend, and of course my current boss, Xia Yu." Elena walked out of them and introduced Xia Yu to them. Xia Yu obviously noticed that several people had a smile in their eyes, and they looked at Xia Yu and Elena a little ambiguous. "Xia Yu, let me introduce to you, they are all my good friends." "She is Ruth Connor, the daughter of the Marquis of Connor." "Hello, handsome Mr. Xia, this is Ruth, it is an honor to meet you!" "Hello, beautiful Miss Ruth." "She is Mia, the eldest daughter of Duke Campbell, and this is the twin sister, Heidi." The girl named Mia showed a gentle and quiet smile and greeted Xia Yu, while the identical-looking sister Heidi blinked her eyes and looked a little lively and playful. ... After some introduction, Xia Yu remembered the names and appearances of Elena''s five friends with his powerful memory. However, he also noticed that the six golden flowers gathered together and attracted the attention of many people in the hall. Some young people were still a little bit eager, obviously wanting to come over to talk to a certain girl. Under this circumstance, continuing to occupy the time of the six girls is undoubtedly very hateful, he just keeps his Elena. Just as he apologized to several beauties and made excuses to leave, it happened that Tokushir Ian Campbell¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony, the eldest son of Duke Ian Campbell, was about to begin, and some young people with ideas had to regret to suspend the action. . "Xia Yu, Mia and Heidi are beautiful, aren''t they? They are still single~" Standing by and preparing to watch the coming-of-age ceremony, Elena suddenly whispered in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu just wanted to say that she was very beautiful, and she reacted in an instant, looked at Elena with a smile on her face, smiled and said, "Elena, where are they beautiful?" "I don''t believe it, you still keep watching them secretly." Elena''s mouth raised slightly and whispered. Xia Yu calmly explained: "You just introduced me and I still know each other, but now I''m just thinking, which one is the sister and which one is the younger sister." "How do you distinguish them?" Elena couldn''t help laughing. She covered her mouth and whispered: "They are really hard to tell, but there are still some subtle differences in their bodies, especially sister Heidi has a mark... You still look at their pendants, the color is silver The white one is sister Mia, and the lavender one is sister Heidi." "Oh, there is indeed a difference." Xia Yu realized that the pendants on their chests were of different colors. ... "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for participating in the coming-of-age ceremony of my child Tokushir Ian Campbell..." Duke Ian Campbell and his wife personally presided over the coming-of-age ceremony for their son. Xia Yu looked at the blond boy who was expecting Xuanang next to him. I have to say that Tokushir Ian Campbell is a talented person. If he has a more romantic personality, I don''t know how many girls'' hearts will be hurt. Xia Yu remembers that according to the historical trajectory of the previous life, Tokushir Ian Campbell will inherit the family title and become the thirteenth Duke of Argyll. He is not a pioneer, but at least he is more than enough to keep it. The glory of the Campbell family. There is nothing to say about the coming-of-age ceremony. Xia Yu follows the crowd. Applause when it¡¯s time to applaud. After the protagonist steps down, with the melodious and soft music, the time for free socialization comes again. Those who want to drink, those who want to eat, those who want to eat, and those who want to dance. dancing. In Elena''s expectant gaze, Xia Yu took her hand and walked into the center of the dance floor. While Xia Yu was dancing with Elena, Duke Ian Campbell, who was drinking, jokingly asked Duke Carter Howard next to him: "Sir Carter, it seems that your baby girl is in love with Sir Xia?" Duke Carter Howard glanced at Duke Ian Campbell and said blankly: "I don''t know the situation, you know my character, and I respect the privacy and freedom of the children." After speaking, Duke Carter Howard drank a sip of red wine and counterattacked: "I''m not like you, a mad devil who is going to marry you with so many families. Who do you plan to choose?" Duke Ian Campbell looked calm and retorted: "My love and care for the children is too complicated, and my daughters are so innocent. As a father, I certainly have to protect them." "I don''t want my daughter to be wronged in the future. If you want to marry my daughter, you have to pass my test first." Duke Carter Howard shrugged and said, "Your eldest daughter may listen to you, but your younger daughter, who has a lively character, is not very easy to look after." Duke Ian Campbell smiled calmly: "My daughter is obedient..." Before he finished speaking, Carter Howard''s jokes sounded: "Really? Look there!" Duke Ian Campbell immediately looked at the direction indicated by Duke Carter Howard, and saw that Xia Yu and Elena were already off the dance floor, and his youngest daughter Heidi was sending out an invitation to Xia Yu to dance. Although the noble etiquette does not stipulate that women should not actively invite men to dance, but now that the daughter actively invites Xia Yu, it undoubtedly shows that his little daughter has a more outgoing personality, which does not match what he just said. His face was a little ugly, and he said angrily to Duke Carter Howard: "I''m optimistic about your future son-in-law!" Duke Carter Howard deliberately laughed and ran on: "I can''t manage." His laughter made Duke Ian Campbell depressed and drank the red wine in his glass. ... Let¡¯s talk about the dance floor. Xia Yu gently put his hand on Heidi Campbell¡¯s thin waist, the distance between her body is relatively wide, and Heidi Campbell puts his left hand on Xia Yu¡¯s shoulder, and his right hand is held together with Xia Yu¡¯s left hand. , The two danced on the dance floor with soothing steps. Heidi Campbell blinked and looked at Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, were you looking at me and my sister secretly just now?" Xia Yu didn''t expect that she would say that, but Xia Yu was also thick-skinned, and said naturally, "Miss Heidi, it was not a peek, but an open look. I was telling you two sisters just now. Who is the younger sister." Heidi Campbell came to be interested, and said curiously: "Then you can tell it clearly now?" Xia Yu smiled and said softly: "It''s clear." Heidi Campbell hurriedly asked: "Hey, how do you distinguish it?" Xia Yu looked down at the lavender pendant in the middle of Heidi Campbell''s towering chest, and said, "Your sister Mia''s pendant is silvery white, and your pendant is lavender." Heidi Campbell suddenly understood. At this moment, a question Xia Yu suddenly asked made her pretty face blush. "Miss Heidi, Elena said you have a mark that is clearly different from your sister. Where is it?" Heidi Campbell looked at her chest subconsciously and blushed and said, "I can''t tell you." It seems that because of nervousness, even the dance steps are a little messy, almost stepping on Xia Yu. Xia Yu lowered his head and looked at the white snow and the temptation gully, and instantly reacted, could it be there? Embarrassing £þ¡õ£þ£ü£ü He raised his head hurriedly and just wanted to find a topic. He never thought that the a little shy Heidi Campbell would divert the topic first, still with a counterattack. "Mr. Xia, are you dating Elena?" "Uh... yes!" Xia Yu was taken aback, then said frankly. Heidi Campbell''s tone was a little envious: "She told my sister and me that she didn''t plan to fall in love before the age of twenty-five." "But it can also be seen that destiny made you meet." "Can you tell me how you met? How long have you been together?" The first encounter with Elena appeared in Xia Yu''s mind, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which made Heidi Campbell who had been watching Xia Yu envied. She couldn''t help looking forward to the appearance of love. Due to the strict supervision of her father since she was a child, she rarely had contact with the opposite sex, and because of family education, her vision became high unconsciously, and she has never had a boyfriend until now. She is very curious whether the love of her good friend Elena is like the fairy tale. It''s a pity that a dance song ended at this time. The men and women on the dance floor began to walk out, and the people outside the court began to walk in. Heidi Campbell and Xia Yu looked at each other, and could only follow Xia Yu out of the dance floor and returned to where Elena sat. It happened that Xia Yu just saw Elena smile and refused a young man''s invitation to dance. As soon as he sat down, Heidi Campbell grabbed Elena''s hand and asked curiously: "Elena, Xia Yu just told me that you are in love, right?" "How did you meet before? How long have you been together?" Heidi Campbell''s sudden question made Elena a little shy, and she subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu, with love in her eyes naturally. "I''m a little hungry. Go eat some food first." Xia Yu, who had just sat down, got up at the right time, left a word and left, leaving space for Elena and Heidi Campbell. Heidi Campbell became more vigorous, holding Elena''s hand and said expectantly: "Elena, Mr. Xia is gone, don''t be shy." "You said before that you didn''t plan to fall in love when you were less than twenty-five. What caused you to break this promise? Tell me..." Unable to help Heidi Campbell''s request, Elena had a scene of past encounters in her mind, with an unconscious smile on her face, and in the enviable and curious eyes of Heidi Campbell, she whispered: "..." ... Xia Yu didn''t go far, holding red wine and eating snacks not far away, and from time to time looked at Elena and Heidi Campbell who were whispering. Waiting until they seemed to have finished talking, and when Elena started looking around for him, he took a tray and walked over with a stack of snacks and two glasses of red wine like a waiter. "Two beautiful ladies, after talking for so long, are you thirsty? Do you need some red wine?" "Thank you!" Heidi Campbell said thank you politely, then gracefully held up a glass of red wine. Elena also smiled and picked up the red wine. "bless all of you!" Seeing Heidi Campbell looking at herself and Elena with the wine glass and sending out blessings, Xia Yu and Elena looked at each other, and also raised the wine glass and touched her lightly. "Thank you!" ... Next the three chatted, and the topic unknowingly talked about the Campbell family¡¯s Invera Castle and the life of the castle. Heidi Campbell calmly commented on her castle: "I think it¡¯s okay. My castle is not as big as Elena¡¯s, and I grew up in the castle. Except for some peers in the family, I only have a lot of Few friends, Elena is one of the few friends." "You can ask Elena about this. I still have my sister to accompany me. Elena was even more lonely when I was a child!" Xia Yu could imagine this scene, he looked at Elena with a distressed look. Elena smiled and said: "It was true when I was young, just like the princess in the fairy tale. We are all curious about the life outside the castle after leaving the family. I really have very few friends. I met most of the time. Friends write letters." "When my father took me to other uncles'' homes, I would meet people my age. We played in the garden together. This is the most profound and happy memory of my childhood." "Of course, in retrospect, the life in the castle is actually very good. Without the hustle and bustle of a big city, the quiet, peaceful and quiet atmosphere allows me to relax and feel the beauty of nature." "Yes, this is an obvious feature of life in the castle." Heidi Campbell said in agreement. After speaking, she suddenly said to Xia Yu playfully: "Mr. Xia, do you have a castle?" Xia Yu didn''t know, so he shook his head and said frankly, "I don''t!" Heidi Campbell looked at Elena and blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Elena likes the comfortable life of the castle. When she marries you in the future, she will rarely return to Castle Howard. What should I do?" PS: The second update will be sent. Today I have changed 8,000 words, and I will update it tomorrow. Draw back, there is a picture of a castle n. v3 Chapter 1080: The castle belonging to Xia Yu Faced with this problem, Xia Yu looked at Elena subconsciously, but saw her smile and shook her head, but Xia Yu keenly discovered that while she was shy, she still had so much anticipation. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said firmly: "Of course the princess must have a castle!" "I have to go and find out where there are top castles for sale..." After Elena listened, a happy smile appeared on her face, and a sweet feeling rose in her heart. Although Xia Yu intends to buy a castle, and he may not be able to buy a castle comparable to Howard Castle, she does not care, and Xia Yu''s attitude is what delights her most. Heidi Campbell, who ate a mouthful of dog food, felt sour at the same time, envy Elena who had found love. But because they are good friends who have known each other since childhood, she is not jealous, but sincerely blessed her. She suddenly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, if you plan to buy a castle, it is recommended to buy it in Scotland. Scotland has the largest number of castles in the entire United Kingdom and is generally better preserved." "Scotland has the reputation of''the country of old castles.'' In Scotland, there are more than 1,000 castles recorded in history alone." "And I remember that after the decline of several families, they sold their castles to our family. I saw a few castles when I was a kid, and they were all pretty good." "If you are interested, I can ask my dad. I often hear him say that in order to maintain these uninhabited castles and manors, a large amount of expenditure is required every year." Xia Yu was a little surprised. He looked at Elena and asked softly: "Elena, what do you think?" "Elena, if you have a castle in Scotland, it will be convenient for us to meet at that time!" Heidi Campbell said expectantly, looking at Elena tightly with beautiful eyes. Elena smiled and said to Heidi Campbell: "I also look forward to seeing you more!" After speaking, she looked at Xia Yu and said softly, "Xia Yu, I can buy the castle myself." Xia Yu scratched the tip of her nose and showed a gentle smile. Without waiting for her to speak, he looked at Heidi Campbell: "Miss Heidi, I have to trouble you to ask your father, which castles do you have for sale? ?" Heidi Campbell readily replied: "Of course there is no problem, I will ask my dad!" After speaking, the lively Heidi Campbell got up, lifted the skirt lightly, and walked towards her father in an elegant manner. "Heidi has been lively and lovely since she was a child, even when she grows up." Looking at Heidi Campbell''s back, Elena smiled sweetly and explained to Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and did not comment. "Elena, eat some snacks, or you will get hungry easily." "Ok!" ... In the next time, Xia Yu and Elena were rarely calm and leisurely. They sat together, and no one would invite any of them to dance. Heidi Campbell seemed to be confined by his father, and reluctantly followed her father to meet the noble ladies and girls of other families. When the prom gradually dissipated and the arriving guests began to leave, Heidi Campbell finally found Xia Yu and Elena at a light pace. She smiled and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, my father invites you over!" "Okay, Miss Heidi, Elena will ask you." "Don''t worry, I will take care of her." Xia Yu smiled and nodded in thanks, got up and dressed up, and walked confidently towards the place where Duke Ian Campbell was. Duke Ian Campbell has also been paying attention to Xia Yu. When he saw him coming, he explained to a friend, then smiled and watched Xia Yu come over. "Sir Xia, did you have a good day?" "Of course, thank you for your hospitality, today is an unforgettable day!" Xia Yu exclaimed with a smile. Duke Ian Campbell smiled happily and invited Xia Yu to the sofa beside him: "Sir Xia, let''s sit there and talk!" "Okay, please!" The two sat down one after another. Duke Ian Campbell went straight to the subject and said: "Sir Summer, listen to my daughter Heidi say that you are going to buy a castle in Scotland, are you?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also have a lot of businesses in Scotland, and I will have to come to Scotland often later, so I plan to make a home in Scotland." He said wittily: "And Her Majesty has made me a knight. Although it is far less than your Duke, I also want to own a castle and enjoy the life of a nobleman." Duke Ian Campbell laughed blankly. Knowing Xia Yu''s strength, he certainly knew Xia Yu was joking. There are a lot of nobles in Britain, but how much strength can match Xia Yu? In this era of capital standing on the top of the world, Xia Yu, not to mention owning a castle, even hundreds of castles can afford to protect the ground, except for narrow-minded people who may be jealous in private, who else? Dare to show aristocratic score in front of him? As far as he knew, many earls and viscounts had a hard time, haha, and even the family castles were almost unable to be repaired, so there was only the fig leaf of the "nobles", and even more directly defeated reality and took the initiative to find Come for help, otherwise the Campbell family will not take over other castles. Duke Ian Campbell said with a smile: "Sir Xia, you are so humorous!" "It just so happens that I still have some castles in my hand, which I took over after some local aristocrats in Scotland fell down for nearly a hundred years. They are basically unoccupied and spend a lot of money on repairs and maintenance every year. I have also transferred the two castles, and I have always planned to sell the rest. If you are interested, I will arrange for someone to take you there." Xia Yu nodded happily: "Of course I am interested!" "About when can I go to see it?" Duke Ian Campbell smiled and said, "You can do it anytime. If you plan to start watching today, there are also castles in the next county, and there is still time for today." "If you are farther away, you may need to watch it tomorrow." Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, Sir Campbell, please arrange for someone to take me to take a look later. I plan to make a decision in two days." "you are welcome¡­¡­" ... After the dance, Duke Ian Campbell arranged for a middle-aged man named Ace and a motorcade to take Xia Yu to see the castle in Stirling County next door. In the next two days, Xia Yu traveled around Edinburgh, Stirling, Glasgow, Perth and Kinross and other places in central Scotland, and finally chose a glorious castle in Glasgow¡ªBrock Castle. This castle was built in 1465 by the Count Brock family and is one of the private castle estates of the Brock family. This lakeside castle is very beautiful, although half of it is in the water, but it is well maintained. When Xia Yu and Elena visited, according to Ace, the castle was taken over by the Campbell family in 1954. The castle covers an area of ??1.35 acres. In addition to the castle, there are 600 surrounding areas. Twenty acres of forest and grassland, these were originally the assets of the Bullock family, but it is a pity that the previous Earl Pollock was a prodigal gambler and defeated the family assets and reputation. But if it were not for the prodigal Earl of Bullock, this top castle would not fall into Xia Yu''s hands. Closer to home. In addition to the fact that this castle manor is really good, Xia Yu chose Block Castle in consideration of other factors. The most important thing is that it is located in Glasgow! The political and geographical advantages are too obvious! Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland. Although the area is small, it is dozens or hundreds of times larger than the administrative regions, but the population is only tens of thousands. Glasgow has a population of 600,000! It is also the fourth largest city in the UK and the third largest manufacturing city in the UK, second only to Birmingham and Leeds. Manufacturing was once the city''s central industry, and the shipbuilding industry on the Clyde River is even more important. Although due to the Great Depression of the 1930s and the impact of the two world wars, Glasgow''s economy is in constant decline. Since the 1970s, it has been a dark period in Glasgow. The decline of heavy industry has led to high unemployment and low living standards. However, Xia Yu knows that in the mid-1980s, that is, in a few years, many financial companies will begin to move to Glasgow and gradually become one of the top 20 financial centers in Europe~www.novelhall.com ~ In addition, they will continue to wear titles such as "European Capital of Culture", "City of Architecture and Design", "European Sports Capital", and "The World''s Most Suitable City for Studying". Glasgow is destined to become Xia Yu''s main base in Scotland in the future, and many of his companies will also gather here. It is undoubtedly very convenient to own a castle in this city. In the end, Xia Yu spent 4.5 million pounds to buy Block Castle and the 620 acres surrounding the castle. At the same time, Xia Yu took over all the servants to maintain the castle. The price/performance ratio is undoubtedly much higher than that of the manor Xia Yu bought in Hampshire, London. He spent a million pounds on that manor several years ago, but who made it near London, which is how Glasgow is now. Awful! Before leaving Scotland, Xia Yu completed the handover ceremony with the Campbell family in front of the butler Terrence Sorcy and 21 other servants. Xia Yu appointed Terrence Sorcy to continue to manage the castle on the spot. After that, Xia Yu and Elena walked the entire castle with the butler Terrence Sorcy. He combined Elena¡¯s preferences and gave a lot of opinions on various parts of Block Castle, and then asked the butler to target The rectification was carried out sexually, and a cheque of one million pounds was issued to Terrence Saucy for the reinforcement of the castle and the purchase and replacement of interior decoration and daily necessities. After everything was arranged, Xia Yu took Elena on the plane to England at Glasgow Airport. v3 Chapter 1081: Good things come in pairs Xia Yu and Elena did not fly directly to London, but to Norfolk in northeastern England. The destination is self-evident, of course the Howard family castle. Elena wanted to go back home to fetch some things, and Xia Yu also had to drive away his convoy that had stayed in Castle Howard. When Xia Yu and Elena arrived, it was almost noon, and Duke Carter Howard happened to be home. Because he had already contacted by phone beforehand, Duke Carter Howard had already prepared for lunch and prepared the dishes his daughter loves to eat. During the rest time after lunch, Duke Carter Howard actively asked about Xia Yu''s gains. "Mr. Xia, have you bought the castle?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, not only answering questions, but also taking the initiative to introduce. "Yes, I bought Block Castle in Glasgow. I heard that it originally belonged to the Earl of Block Family. The area of ??this castle is much smaller than Castle Howard. It is only 1.35 acres. Six hundred and twenty acres of forests, meadows and lakes." "I actually watched six castles, but I still liked this one better, and it ended up costing ¡ê4.5 million." Carter Howard showed a clear look and said with a smile: "I know which castle you are talking about. Brock Castle is considered a superior castle even in Scotland, which is known as the''castle kingdom''. Although the land of Scotland is more Cheap, but with 620 acres of land, you only spent 4.5 million pounds, not too expensive, Sir Ian Campbell is very kind." "Moreover, it is located in Glasgow, and the transportation is very convenient. Whether it is for life or work, the conditions are very good." Duke Carter Howard raised his doubts: "However, don''t you spend most of your time in England? You bought a castle in Scotland and didn''t use it for long after a year?" Of course, Xia Yu couldn¡¯t say that it was mainly for his daughter Elena. He explained: ¡°I rarely go to Scotland now, but I will always go there in the future. I just talked about the castle the day before yesterday, and realized that he did not live in Scotland. Place, so I just bought a castle, anyway, the price is not expensive." "If there is a suitable castle in England, I will buy it too." Xia Yu said this sentence casually, never thinking about Carter Howard but taking it seriously. He put down the cup and contemplated. Xia Yu and Elena looked at each other, and doubts flashed in their eyes. After a while, Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, if you want to buy a castle in England, I have a good recommendation." Xia Yu came to be interested, and he asked in surprise: "Sir Carter, which castle can you think is good?" Duke Carter Howard said with a faint smile: "It''s Warwick Castle." "Warwick Castle?" Xia Yu frowned slightly, he felt familiar, but he couldn''t remember the specific impression. Seeing Xia Yu''s troubles, Duke Carter Howard gave Xia Yu an intimate introduction. "You know from the name that Warwick Castle is in Warwickshire. This castle was built in the 11th century and is one of the oldest castles in England. It is even comparable to Windsor Castle in history. Of course, Warwick Rick Castle is much smaller than Windsor Castle." "Warwick Castle has a very glorious history. A total of forty-two earls lived there. This castle has changed many owners, and it has fallen to the Beaumont family, the Beauchamp family, the Neville family, In the hands of the Gorse family, the Dudley family and the Greville family, they have belonged to the Greville family for more than two centuries." "However, because the Greville family fell, the castle was sold to the Cavendish family in 1978, and now it is in the hands of the Cavendish family¡¯s Pearson Group¡¯s Tussauds Group. Tussauds Group plans to sell Warwick The castle has been transformed into a tourist attraction. It is still being renovated and has not yet opened. If you want to buy it, you must contact Duke Porter Philip Cavendish as soon as possible." After hearing Duke Carter Howard¡¯s detailed explanation, Xia Yu finally remembered. The Warwick Castle he was talking about, also known as Warwick Castle in later generations, was indeed run by the Tussauds Group, which was the company that operated Madame Tussauds. This castle is indeed a top-notch castle, much more advanced than the Block Castle he bought in Scotland. Not only in England, even if enlarged to the entire Great Britain, they are considered top castles, not inferior to Howard Castle of the Howard family. "Mr. Xia, what do you think of this castle?" Xia Yu smiled humorously: "It''s a pity to take this castle for sightseeing." Duke Carter Howard was taken aback, then laughed: "Do you need my help?" Xia Yu did not refuse. Although he had just played golf with Duke Porter Philip Cavendish a week ago, he is still inferior to Duke Carter Howard in terms of intimacy. Since Duke Carter Howard is so enthusiastic, he has no reason to refuse, and it doesn''t matter if he owes him more favors. Anyway, the future is a family, so it is not very trivial to distinguish what to do. He said gratefully, "Sir Carter, if you can, I''ll trouble you." Duke Carter Howard didn''t know what Xia Yu was thinking. If he knew it, he would never give Xia Yu a face. Of course, he was destined to not know what Xia Yu was thinking. Duke Carter Howard said nonchalantly: "No trouble, he should give me the face, but I will tell him that it is for you to buy it, and it would be better for you to talk to him after the acquisition." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay! I will thank him then!" After chatting for a while, Xia Yu said goodbye when seeing that it was too early. Duke Carter Howard did not stay and watched Xia Yu''s motorcade drive away from Castle Howard. ... Running all the way, Xia Yu''s physique is considered to be able to withstand, but Elena, a weak girl, feels physically and mentally exhausted. After returning home to rest for a good night, Xia Yu drove to the Guangming Fund headquarters in the City of London the next morning. He had just come to the office to sit down, and Elton Colin, who was arranged by him to buy Chelsea, knocked on the door of his office. On the way to the company, Xia Yu has already learned the general situation through the newspaperThe news of the change of Chelsea Football Club and Stamford Bridge Stadium has spread all over the United Kingdom. Readers know that the buyer is the Bright Fund. But the Bright Fund did not stand up to explain, so there is no specific insider newspaper. "Elton, I already know the general situation, thanks for your hard work!" "Your work efficiency is very high!" It took exactly half a month from receiving the task on November 6 to the successful completion of the task on November 21 yesterday. This efficiency is indeed worthy of Xia Yu¡¯s praise. "Boss, no hard work! This is what I should do!" Elton Colin was delighted in his heart, but said very modestly on the surface. "This is a detailed acquisition, including the equity documents of Chelsea Football Club and Stamford Bridge Assets. At the bottom is a list of all British players and coaches collected, and a simple analysis report." While talking, Elton Colin put the thick stack of documents in his hand on Xia Yu''s desk and gently pushed it in front of Xia Yu. Xia Yu raised his brows and looked at Elton Colin in surprise and asked: "In such a short time, the situation of the players and the coach has been investigated?" Elton Colin nodded and explained: "Yes, the reason why it is so fast is mainly because the "Sports Life" newspaper under the Mirror Group has a very detailed database for the football field. I have mobilized the "Sports Life" newspaper. Life" newspaper resources." Xia Yu understood, the accident in his heart was gone, he smiled and admired: "A good way." After speaking, he looked down and read it. PS: Since the protagonist is solving the problem of settling down, he can simply do it in one step, check all the data, and then toss after the province. Nothing, I will attach a picture at the back. Well, it¡¯s really awesome, the starting point reading app is exclusive n. v3 Chapter 1082: Sorry, Manchester United! As he kept browsing, Xia Yu''s face showed a satisfied smile. The first is the acquisition results. For Chelsea Football Club, the Bright Fund was bought at a symbolic cost of one pound, at the cost of the club¡¯s 620,000 pounds in debt. Chelsea Football Club has two teams, one is the current home team, and the other is the youth team of the Chelsea Football Academy. The former participates in the League One, the latter participates in the Youth League. The first team now has 18 players and the youth team has 12 players. The coaching team consists of five people with the newly appointed head coach John Neal in July this year. The remaining four are the first team coach, the youth team head coach, the youth training supervisor and the goalkeeper coach. After the management team and the player list, the status of the value and salary are listed. Xia Yu didn¡¯t want to look at it after a glance. There are four old players who have freely transferred from the first team, and the other fourteen players are also very low-valued. Generally too large. The youth team has only a few outstanding potential stocks, but they are not particularly prominent. This shows that Chelsea Football Club not only has poor performance now, but also has no future. If it does not change blood, it will continue to sink. Fortunately, Xia Yu Xia Yu took over... In addition to Chelsea Football Club, Stamford Bridge Assets, which has total assets of 9 million pounds and a debt of 6.4 million pounds, was bought at a bargain of 2.2 million pounds, which is 400,000 less than net assets. GBP. (Analyze the reasons yourself) Of course, the 6.4 million pounds of debt was also taken over by the Bright Fund. After reading the results of the acquisition, Xia Yu turned to the list of coaches and players across the UK collected by Elton Colin. He put the list of players directly aside, looking at the list of coaches first. Football is a collective sport. Whoever can drive the team and let everyone play their best ability is the person who can help the team the most. He is the team leader. This leader can be a player or a leader. coach. But Xia Yu knows that even the top stars have to eat young food, but the head coach is different. As long as he has the ability, he can do it for 20 to 30 years. In most cases, a top coach is more important than a core player. Without a good coach designing good tactics, even if he builds the most luxurious star team, the game will be ruined by bad tactics. Now he has to see if he can find a big fish. The first one is Bob Paisley, the head coach of the Red Army Liverpool. Born in July 1919, he is now 62 years old. He has coached the Liverpool team for seven years since 1974. He has also coached the Liverpool team in history. The coach with the highest winning percentage is also the coach who has won three European Cups in European history. The legendary coach is a bull, but the assessment rate of job-hopping is extremely low, because he is already 62 years old and has repeatedly declared in public that he will end his coaching career with Liverpool. It is estimated that his retirement will be in the past two years. Up. PASS! The second-Nottingham Forest''s head coach Brian Clough. The head coach is only inferior to Bob Paisley in honor. He has coached the Nottingham Forest team, which has fallen into the second division since 1975, and suppressed Liverpool in 1978 and 1979, winning the League Cup consecutively. Using the team''s limited resources, he won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980. The Nottingham Forest team he coaches is also the only team that can threaten the dominance of the Red Army. Born in 1935, he is only 46 years old now, in his prime of life, keep it! Third place-Tony Button, the head coach of Aston Villa Football Club in Birmingham. His rise trajectory is similar to that of Brian Clough. He was an efficient shooter before, and he took the coaching path after retiring. Brian Clough started coaching the Nottingham Forest team that fell into the second division in 1975, and he was a little earlier, in 1974 coaching the Aston Villa, also in the second division. In his first year in office, he led his team to win the English League Cup, and also brought the Aston Villa team into the First Division that season. In the following years, the Aston Villa team took one step at a time, won the English League Cup again the following year, and reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup. Last year, they led a group of less famous players to beat the Liverpool team and Nottingham Forest team, with an impressive record of 61 points, boarded the first division championship after 70 years. In this season, the Aston Villa team is still brave, winning streaks in the league and the UEFA Champions League, and even more momentum in the UEFA Champions League than Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. According to media estimates, this One tournament is likely to be defended by the Aston Villa team for England. And he was born in 1937, younger than Brian Clough, only forty-four years old, in the golden age! Fourth place... Fifth place... Xia Yu watched them one by one and made notes after the names of several outstanding coaches. After watching the England region, look at the Scotland region. Until... I saw a special name. Alex Ferguson? Is it the future Sir Alex? Seeing this name, Xia Yu''s eyes condensed, a thought flashed in his mind, and he concentrated again, carefully looking at the resume recorded above. Sure enough, it was him! Alex Ferguson, born in 1941, is only forty years old this year. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He ended his playing career at the age of 32 and officially retired. Then he became the second (third level) Scottish football league in 1974. The head coach of the Forest County football team, three months later coached the Scottish Premier League team St Mirren, and won the championship in the third year and was promoted to the Scottish Premier League. In August 1978, he became the head coach of the Aberdeen Club, a member of the Scottish Premier League. Once he took office, he led the Aberdeen team to the fourth strongest in the league with superb tactics and reached the Scottish FA Cup. And the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup. In the 1979-1980 season, led the Aberdeen football team to win the Premier League championship, becoming the first team in 15 years to break the Glasgow Celtics and Glasgow Rangers club''s monopoly of the top league championship. This season, Alex Ferguson¡¯s tactical system has become more mature, and Aberdeen¡¯s league results have also been quite good. They have not fallen out of the top five and are a strong contender for the Soviet Super League championship. ... Seeing the information of Alex Ferguson, Xia Yu was a little bit emotional. "Lord Sir" has not yet gone to Manchester United, and now at the age of 40, he has already won a regional top league championship, and he can also be called a champion coach. He is definitely capable. And Xia Yu, who has memories of later generations, knows very well how brilliant Alex Ferguson¡¯s future achievements will be. He has been in charge for more than 20 years until he retires, and he won the most championship trophies. According to the vote, he was also selected. The most successful head coach in the history of English football. And the most impressive thing about Sir Alex Ferguson is his tactical thinking that keeps pace with the times and is fickle, as well as his aggressive offensive football. That''s him! No need to look again! Xia Yu directly closed the coach''s list. When he saw Alex Ferguson, Xia Yu knew that he was the commander of the Blues. If Chelsea wants to become a giant, it must be shaped by successive championship trophies. And he shouldn''t rely on the ugly iron barrels to win the championship. He plays vigorous and aggressive offensive football. He can also bring championships and definitely win the hearts of fans! Alex Ferguson is one of the very few who can do this! And he is loyal to the team enough to be able to stay in the Red Devils Manchester United for more than 20 years until retirement. Xia Yu boasts that he absolutely has this capacity for people, and the financial resources are not afraid of anyone, and he can also give Alex. Ferguson''s maximum tolerance and trust can best make him what he can in World War I. Xia Yu is looking forward to the fact that if Alex Ferguson is brought over, the old prince without any constraints will initiate a ruthless attack, who can stop the blue torrent of British and European football! ... Seeing that the boss didn''t even look at the player list, Elton Colin''s heart was full of tension. Could it be that there is a problem with his coaching profile? Just when he was worried, Xia Yu smiled and threw the coach list on the table in front of him, saying: "Elton, give you a task, dig him over for me, he will be Chelsea''s future Commander in command!" Elton Colin would pick up the information curiously When he saw the name above, his eyes were filled with consternation and surprise. It is not Bob Paisley, Brian Clough and Tony Button, the three legendary coaches who are now ranked in the top three in English football! It''s an Alex Ferguson from Scotland! Just when he was astonished, Xia Yu''s gentle voice sounded again: "Elton, can you complete the task?" Elton Colin returned to his senses, he nodded sharply and said, "I promise to complete the task with all my strength!" Xia Yu said softly with a satisfied smile: "I''m waiting for your good news." Elton Colin just wanted to leave, remembered one more thing, and asked inquisitively: "Boss, the news that Chelsea Football Club changed hands has been exposed. Now the team is a little unstable, and the outside world has been exploring. Do we need to hold a press conference?" "One more point, the management of the Mills family is still on the job for the time being, but as agreed, all will leave after half a month. The club also needs a complete management team, including the team chairman." "Now the team has more problems and needs to make plans for the team''s future development as soon as possible." Xia Yu nodded slightly. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision in his mind. He told Elton Colin: "Elton, you take me to Chelsea now and inform the Mirror Group to assist. This afternoon A press conference will be held at four o''clock!" "Okay!" Elton Colin shook his whole body, and he replied with a guess in his heart. After that, Xia Yu got up from her position, picked up the suit from the support hanger, put it on her body, and strode towards the door. PS: Attached to Huang¡¯s Weixin number, I think I¡¯m a pretty young girl, add me, pull you into the skirt, the scenery inside is infinite, starting reading the app to see the picture v3 Chapter 1083: The king of telecommunications! Chelsea happened to have no game today, and the team was training at Stamford Bridge. However, even if there is a competition, there will be no good results. When Xia Yu and Elton Colin arrived at Chelsea Football Club, Elton Colin ordered someone to notify the team''s head coach John Neal. After receiving the notice, John Neal, who was instructing the players to do training, immediately ordered the players to train freely, and then hurriedly returned to the club''s office building. When he saw Xia Yu standing next to Elton Colin, John Neal was surprised, but he didn''t have time to think, and walked towards Xia Yu and Elton Colin. "Hello, Mr. Elton Colin!" "Hello, gentleman, I''m John Neal, the head coach of Chelsea''s first team." "Coach Neil, nice to meet you!" Xia Yu said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to John Neal while speaking. John Neal immediately shook hands with Xia Yu and even said hello. At this time, Elton Colin introduced Xia Yu to John Neal: "Coach Neal, this is the director of our Bright Fund Company, Mr. Xia Yu. It is his order to buy Chelsea. From today, he will Be the chairman of Chelsea Football Club!" What Elton Colin said was exactly what Xia Yu told him on the road when he came. His external status is the director of the Bright Fund, not the chairman or boss. The reason why he suddenly decided to be the chairman of Chelsea Football Club was based on many considerations. In short, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Knowing that Xia Yu''s true identity is the chairman of the club, John Neal is more respectful and once again greets Xia Yu. "Are Coach Neal, the players and the management team all here?" "Yes, they are all training at Stamford Bridge Stadium." "Call them all, I''ll meet them." "Is there a meeting room here?" "Yes, I will take you there." ... Although the players and the management team are surprised by Xia Yu''s age and skin color, they are all very interesting. After all, Xia Yu is their club chairman. Although most of the players in the team, including the head coach team, will be replaced, Xia Yu didn''t tell them, just let them stay as usual for the time being. He is now mainly solving the legacy problems of Chelsea Football Club. No way, now Chelsea has fallen into the relegation zone, and then the turmoil continues, and the results become worse. Even if Alex Ferguson is brought in later, it may not be able to fill this hole. Now it is still based on stability. After stabilizing the military spirit, Xia Yu informed everyone that a press conference would be held in the afternoon to let John Neal set up a large enough venue. Later, Xia Yu returned to the company. Elton Colin went to the Mirror Group urgently. According to Xia Yu''s order, there should be no trouble at the press conference in the afternoon, and public opinion in the next few days must be controlled. Not long after Xia Yu sat down, George Berkeley returned to report to him. It turned out to be the equity transfer of Dadong Telecom''s Xiangjiang Branch. Dadong Telecom, the parent company, transferred 35.7% of the 45.7% of the shares it held at a price of 132 million Hong Kong dollars, and retained it. Ten percent is used as a link for business cooperation. And Xia Yu''s Jiuding Industrial Group in Xiangjiang will hold 67% of the shares of Dadong Telecom''s Xiangjiang Branch and will have absolute controlling rights. As a result, Xia Yu, the only two communications companies in Hong Kong, has completed absolute holdings in the actual sense. As long as the Hong Kong government no longer issues additional telecom operating licenses, he will be the king of Hong Kong Telecom! ... It was four o''clock in Xia Yu in a blink of an eye. The hall of Chelsea Football Club, the site of a temporary press conference. As Xia Yu came out from behind the scenes and strode up to the speaker booth, the scene began to agitate, and the flashlights kept lighting up. "Hello everyone, I am the manager of the Bright Fund for the acquisition of Chelsea Football Club, Elton Colin, and welcome everyone to participate in this press conference." "First of all, I solemnly introduce to you the person next to me, the director of our company, Mr. Xia Yuxia, who was just knighted by Her Majesty the Queen some time ago, from today onwards, he will be the chairman of Chelsea Football Club." As soon as Elton Colin¡¯s voice fell, Xia Yu¡¯s gentle voice spread through the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon everyone, I¡¯m Xia Yu." "Welcome to the press conference of Chelsea Football Club!" "Papa..." Elton Colin and John Neal took the lead in applauding, and the reporters in the audience also applauded wittily. "Dear Sir Xia, why did you choose to acquire Chelsea Football Club?" Seeing a reporter who could not wait to stand up and ask questions, Xia Yu smiled and said: "Because Chelsea has a fine tradition and its potential is unlimited. Although the performance is not stable now, it is only because I have not come." Saying domineering words in an unhurried tone, the reporters in the audience lit up, and the assistant in charge of recording quickly recorded it. "Next person!" "Dear Sir Xia, can you tell me the details of the acquisition?" "of course." "Our company bought Chelsea Football Club for one pound and assumed the corresponding debts of the company. In addition, we also purchased Stamford Bridge Assets for two and two million pounds..." ... "Dear Sir Xia, what is your next plan for Chelsea Football Club?" "We will repay all the debts of the club and Stamford Bridge Assets in advance to remove the burden for the club. After that, Stamford Bridge Assets will be merged into the club. From then on, the club no longer needs to worry about the lease period of the stadium." "Moreover, we are going to make the first phase of capital injection into the club, with a capital of 10 million pounds, mainly for the reconstruction of the stadium, the operation of the transfer market and the improvement of employee benefits." "In the past, the Stamford Bridge Stadium has been rebuilt for four years and has not been completed. This has seriously affected the team''s games and fans'' viewing enjoyment. We are ready to complete the remodeling of the stadium before 1983!" "Dear Sir Xia..." ... Most of the reporters present were from various newspapers under the Mirror Group. They received a reminder before they came. Therefore, the order of the entire press conference was maintained very well, and there were no sharp problems. During the Q&A, all important information was publicly explained clearly, and it was full of bursts. The entire press conference took nearly forty minutes and ended successfully. The reporters who could not wait for a long time rushed to their respective newspapers. The first benefit was of course some evening papers. After the urgent revision, the evening papers were delivered to various newsstands stuck in time. After the off-get off work crowd bought the newspaper, the details about Chelsea Football Club began to spread, and the Chelsea fans had the biggest reaction. Although the new club chairman is a Chinese, some arrogant British people are very upset by race issues, but fortunately, Xia Yu also wears the title of "New Jazz" on his head. This halo has offset most of the damage for him. bias. Of course, what excites the fans the most is that they see the hope of Chelsea''s rise from the bright fund. Stamford Bridge is entirely Chelsea, and with the debts paid, the new owner paid Chelsea 17 million pounds as soon as he arrived, which is a huge amount. Even if the seven million pounds to pay debts are removed, the remaining 10 million pounds will have to bear the cost of stadium renovation, but at least seven million pounds will be left. If these seven million pounds were invested in the transfer market, it would be incredible. You must know that when Liverpool¡¯s current top striker Ian Rush was signed by Liverpool last year, it only cost 300,000 pounds, and the price was broken. The record for the value of British players under the age of twenty. Now the transfer price of top players is only five or six hundred thousand pounds, seven million pounds is definitely enough for Chelsea to build a luxury camp! The hope of Chelsea''s rise is here! The next morning, with the launch of major daily newspapers, Chelsea¡¯s news was not limited to London, not only England, but Scotland, Ireland and Wales were all following the news. Different from the surprises of the fans and the crowds watching the crowds, the moods of the English football clubs that have the most direct competitive relationship are the most complicated. Some are like rivals, for fear of their own stars being targeted, of course, more are Envy, jealous, and hate, in private mocking Chelsea as a nouveau riche, lost London''s face. But Chelsea fans don''t care about this, as long as Chelsea has hope of rising. In this boiling public opinion, Elton Colin found Alex Ferguson and sent him an invitation to go to Chelsea as the head coach. There is no doubt that although Aberdeen is one of the major cities in Scotland, it is certainly not comparable to London. The intensity of competition in English football is now higher than that of Scottish football. Alex Ferguson has been in Scotland since he was a player until he became a coach, and English football has a certain attraction to him. Not to mention, Chelsea Football Club has changed drastically now and has the foundation to become a giant. And this is also the beneficial influence of Xia Yu''s high-profile operation of Chelsea. In previous lives, Barcelona and Real Madrid have set the best example for Xia Yu. In Xia Yu¡¯s plan, Chelsea will also follow this path to the rich and make Chelsea a mecca in world football. By then, as long as Chelsea throw With an olive branch, outstanding players all over the world cannot refuse the temptation to go to Chelsea... Finally, under the constant sincere persuasion of Elton Colin, Alex Ferguson decided to make a request, he wanted to see the chairman of Chelsea Football Club. Elton Colin resolutely agreed. After contacting Xia Yu, considering that the Aberdeen team will have a game in the near future, Alex Ferguson, the head coach, could not stay away. Xia Yu decided to meet in Glasgow, Scotland. . Xia Yu, who had just returned from Glasgow, had to board a plane to Scotland again. As for the meeting place, Xia Yu decided at the home he had just bought¡ªBrock Castle. ... Alex Ferguson, who was in his prime of life, had a very good mental outlook. He did not wear glasses at this time, unlike the later generations with a scholarly temperament. "Mr. Ferguson, welcome you!" "Sir Xia, I am honored to receive your invitation!" "Please sit down!" "What do you want?" "A cup of black coffee, thank you!" "OK, just a second!" After a brief greeting, the distance between the two narrowed a bit, and Alex Ferguson also relaxed a little. Xia Yu didn¡¯t waste too much time and said straight to him: ¡°Coach Ferguson, Elton Colin should have told you something, you know, he recommended Bob Paisley to me at the beginning, I¡¯m not boasting about the three coaches, Brian Clough and Tony Button. Except for Bob Paisley, who is about to retire, I am sure to invite them to Chelsea." "but I do not have!" "I think you are the commander-in-chief that Chelsea needs most. You are no worse than any of them!" Suddenly hearing Xia Yu''s high evaluation, Alex Fergusonton felt flattered. Although he has always been very confident, but he also knows the gap between himself and these three legendary England coaches. He also did not doubt Xia Yu''s strength, because he used the limited time yesterday to inquire about the strength of the Bright Fund. Yesterday, he was shocked! Therefore, Xia Yu values ??him so much, and his mentality has changed a lot. "Sir Xia, thank you for your recognition." "I want to ask, if I suppose Chelsea, how much support can you give me?" After asking, Alex Ferguson fixed his eyes on Xia Yu. Alex Ferguson was so direct, it also gave Xia Yu a greater certainty. He stared directly at Alex Ferguson, and solemnly said: "Coach Ferguson, we Chinese have an old saying, "You don''t need to hire someone, you don''t need a suspect!" "If you become the head coach of Chelsea, I will give you the greatest authority in the entire British football world!" "In addition to the management of the team, I also give you all the transfer rights!" "You don''t need to think about funding, nor do you need to worry about the commercial operation of the team. I don''t care if the club is profitable!" "You buy which star you want to buy, even if the transfer price of the top eleven in the entire football world is created by you!" Alex Ferguson was shocked and looked at Xia Yu in a daze. His emotions continued to emerge in his heart. On the field, there are eleven people in a football team. Xia Yu''s analogy is telling him. As long as he wants, he can build the team with the world''s first person in every position! This kind of support is unprecedented! This kind of trust, he can''t help but be moved! Xia Yu looked at Alex Ferguson quietly, waiting for him to calm down. Seeing him come back to his senses, Xia Yu smiled and asked: "Coach Ferguson, I hope you can personally build Chelsea into a blue team that resounds throughout the world until the end of your coaching career at Chelsea." "Do you want to?" Alex Ferguson took a deep breath and nodded his head: "Sir Xia, thank you for your importance and trust in me, I am willing!" Xia Yu showed a smile, got up and stretched out a hand to Alex Ferguson: "Coach Ferguson, you are welcome to join!" Alex Ferguson reached out his hand and held Xia Yu tightly. After sitting down again. The distance between the two has narrowed a lot Xia Yu said with a smile: "Coach Ferguson, I haven''t mentioned your salary just now. I don''t know the salary system of British football, but I can promise. Your salary will be the highest in the UK." Alex Ferguson smiled more, and thanked respectfully: "Thank you!" Xia Yu continued: "Coach Ferguson, I hope you can immediately clarify the situation with the chairman of the Aberdeen club after you go back, so that he can find a coach to take over as soon as possible." "The winter transfer period is about to come. You can now first find the players you need, the entire Chelsea team, and operate as you wish." "My requirements this season are not high, there are only two requirements, one is to run the team, and the other is to leave the relegation zone." "Of course, if you are downgraded accidentally, there is no way, and you will be promoted back next season." In the last sentence, Xia Yu said with a smile, with a very peaceful mind. But Alex Ferguson promised with a serious expression: "Sir Xia, please rest assured that Chelsea will never be downgraded!" He still has this confidence. With the support of Xia Yu''s unlimited transfer rights, Chelsea would still be relegated, and he would have no face to become a football coach! "I see your performance!" ... After getting the old man, Xia Yu returned to London with a happy mood. After returning, he also added a position to Elton Colin-the financial manager of the Chelsea Football Club, and explained his support for Alex Ferguson. After everything was in order, Xia Yu took a rest and went to France in a low-key manner. Successive events have delayed his trip to France, and now it is about to enter December, it is time to pass! PS: The second update is sent, 7700 words have been updated today, and the end of July, brothers who have votes, don''t waste it! n. ~: Don’t wait, we are adjusting the outline today Today I wrote about the French plot, and the more I wrote it, the more it felt wrong. It turned out that the knowledge was limited when the outline was set, and some loopholes appeared. Therefore, the code word was decisively stopped at 7 o''clock in the evening, and I began to frantically check the information to change the French power and capital settings. Many families and financial groups have changed their scope of strength, political and racial stances. Once the basics are changed, the outline must be adjusted. Taking into account the actual situation in France at the time, the protagonist¡¯s strategic development direction must also be adjusted. The original plan It seems illogical. It¡¯s been almost four hours now, and it¡¯s still going on. After the changes are made, the French plot will be rewritten. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s too late tonight. If it¡¯s too late, it¡¯s tomorrow. Let¡¯s rest early. Don¡¯t wait for "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", we are adjusting the outline today Now you are playing, please wait for a while, after the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! The full text of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" is updated on the book selection website, keep in mind the URL: v3 Chapter 1084: Lets talk about the Lohill family first Paris, France is the capital of France and the political, economic, cultural, and commercial center of France. Paris is divided into 20 districts. Undoubtedly, the most prosperous area is the old central city in the northwest of Paris. Eight districts. The Avenue des Champs-Elys¨¦es, which crosses from the famous Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, is here, as is the Eschelles Palace, the French presidential palace. Xia Yu''s destination and future location is the central area of ??France since ancient times. Before he came, George Berkeley had ordered Xia Yu to buy a four-story luxury villa covering an area of ??380 square meters in the eighth district, which cost 6 million francs. Not only that, Xia Yu also arranged for security personnel to be stationed in advance to investigate all possible risk factors to ensure his safety in France. Accompanying Xia Yu to his residence was Leo Martin, the head of the French branch of the Bright Fund, a 45-year-old Frenchman with more than 20 years of financial experience. It was Xia Yu who ordered George Berkeley to A strong and innocent person who is hired in France. Luo Wang also conducted a comprehensive verification of Leo Martin''s growth experience and background, and found no problems. So on the way here, Xia Yu revealed his identity to Leo Martin, and Leo Martin became more respectful to Xia Yu. "Boss, this is the information you want!" After taking a seat in Xia Yu''s home, Leo Martin asked one of Xia Yu''s bodyguards to help open the box. He pointed to the materials filled with brown paper bags in the box and said to Xia Yu. French is different from English and distinguishes appellations. In French, "you" is vous and "you" is tu. Leo Martin, of course, used the respectful name "you" for Xia Yu. Xia Yu glanced at the pile of materials in the box, suddenly feeling a bit big. But he can also imagine that Leo Martin must have spent a lot of thought to collect these materials, so he smiled and praised his work well. "Leo, your work is very solid." "You give me information about the financial industry and the banking industry first, and I will look at the others later." After Xia Yu gave orders, Leo Martin immediately found a kraft paper bag from the box and handed it to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu took it, he opened it and quickly browsed. Although he has many cognitions and memories of France in this era in his mind, except for important things, other details are very vague or even absent. In order to better lay the foundation of his career in France and accomplish the set goals, he needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation in France to avoid making mistakes in strategic decisions. The French banking system is highly concentrated, not as decentralized and diverse as the old man next door. Because of the high concentration, French banks are clearly at the top of the world, and the middle level is not as good as other countries. For example, this year''s "The Banker" magazine ranked the world''s banks. Among the top ten banks in the world, France has only four of them. They are the world''s No. 1 Agricultural Bank, the No. 4 Bank of Paris and the No. 6 Bank of Lyon And Societe Generale, the seventh largest bank in the world. Among these four banks, the world''s largest Agricultural Credit Bank is a semi-official bank, the other three are state-owned banks with more than 90% government shares, and none of them are private. But what about the other six banks in the world''s top ten? Two are from the United States, two are from West Germany, and one is each from the United Kingdom and an island country. All six are owned by private consortia. The difference is obvious! Let''s talk about the entire banking industry in France. According to the current level registration information, there are a total of 377 banks in France, including 138 banks controlled by foreign countries, and the actual number of French domestic banks is 239. Among the French national banks, there are currently 39 state-owned banks, but if these banks and the banks with more than 50% of the capital controlled by state-run financial companies or enterprises are included, the banks directly or indirectly controlled by the state will reach There are one hundred and twenty-four, accounting for more than half of the total number of French domestic banks! This ratio is not terrifying! And Xia Yu is very clear that the Francois Mitterrand government is also preparing to further nationalize the banking industry and strengthen the national team¡¯s economic intervention capabilities. He remembered very clearly that after the reform of the nationalization of the French banking industry in the previous life, the business windows of state-owned banks would account for more than 90% of the country, and the share of deposits in the whole society under his control would also be around 90%. The loan share will also reach about 80%. At present, there are also major national banks such as Alibaba Suez, Industrial and Commercial Credit Bank, and Credit France Commercial Bank, which are under the joint control of major consortia and families. These are definitely Fran?ois Mitterrand''s goals. In the information, Xia Yu also knows the reason why the Fran?ois Mitterrand government intends to nationalize banks, mainly for French state-owned enterprises. Under the impact of the economic crisis, the self-owned funds of French companies have been declining, from 66.7 percent in 1978 to 48% in 1982. Large state-owned enterprises have even more lack of self-owned funds. By 36.7%, the company is in debt. In Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s plan, he is to enable state-owned enterprises to play a "locomotive" role in production investment so a large amount of funds is needed for the implementation of investment support policies . In order to reduce costs and to better promote reforms, of course, the government must mobilize funds from the whole society as much as possible. The reform of the nationalization of the banking industry is a general trend led by the Fran?ois Mitterrand government, and no one can stop it until substantial social harm is revealed. However, the general trend cannot be changed, and the minor trend can definitely be intervened! Xia Yu is ready to use these small trends to achieve his goals! The information on the banking industry does not stop there, but also includes equity information of many banks. It takes a long time to read it. Realizing that it might not be too late today, Xia Yu encouraged Leo Martin with a few words and then sent him away. In the next few days, Xia Yu didn''t go anywhere, so he stayed at home and ate materials. After all the information was finished, the current situation of France clearly appeared in his mind. Xia Yu combined the memories of later generations, and the inspiration in his mind emerged one after another. He already knows which areas to start in, and thus establishes a foundation in France. But before that, he has to do the most important thing first! Let''s talk about the Lohill family first! After the decision, Xia Yu called Leo Martin to his home, and then asked him to come forward and send an invitation letter to Fran?ois Mitterrand. Knowing that Xia Yu had come to Paris, Fran?ois Mitterrand was surprised and readily agreed to meet Xia Yu secretly. One night, Xia Yu came to Fran?ois Mitterrand''s home in a low-key manner... PS: Don¡¯t be too short. Today, the main energy is still sorting out French materials and outlines. During the period, I encountered useful materials such as Germany, the United States, and island countries and collected them. I am still preparing for the future and want to write a book with a brain Really hard v3 Chapter 1085: Agreement with Mitterrand "Mr. President, long time no see, good evening!" "Mr. Xia, you are welcome, please come in!" After a brief exchange of handshake, Francois Mitterrand greeted Xia Yu in. When entering the living room, Xia Yu saw a woman in a red coat. Xia Yu saw the photo when he looked at Fran?ois Mitterrand''s information. It was his wife, the first lady of France, Da Niel Mitterrand. And Xia Yu also knows that Danielle Mitterrand is also a rational woman who is passionate about politics. Although she became the first lady, she did not live a pampered life as a vase in the Elysee Palace. She is now devoting herself to human rights in France. Movement, which is a special existence in the whole of Europe. "Mr. Xia, this is my wife Danielle." "My dear, this is Mr. Xia I told you, an outstanding figure from Oriental Xiangjiang." "Ms. Danielle, hello, nice to meet you! I''m interrupting coming to your house tonight." "How can I bother! Mr. Xia, I have to thank you for your support to my husband, and our family will always welcome you!" "..." After talking and laughing for a while, the three of them took their seats one after another. The first lady Danielle made coffee for her husband and Xia Yu. Then, knowing that the two men were about to talk about something, she found an excuse to leave the living room and went upstairs. "Mr. Xia, did you just come to France today?" Fran?ois Mitterrand took a sip of coffee and asked calmly. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "No, today is the fifth day I came to France. There were indeed a lot of things that had not been dealt with the other day, so I didn''t come to visit you either." Fran?ois Mitterrand laughed, and said nonchalantly: "It''s okay, we are close friends. There are many things that don''t need to be so deliberate. You know, I am a pragmatic person." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "You are indeed a pragmatic person. This is the blessing of the French people." Francois Mitterrand laughed happily. After laughing, he asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, what are you doing in France this time?" Start to get into the topic! Xia Yu smiled slightly and said bluntly: "I intend to make a large-scale investment in France." Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s eyes lit up, and Erlang¡¯s raised legs were put down, and his body was slightly forward. He said enthusiastically and expectantly: ¡°Mr. Xia, the investment environment in France is very good. On behalf of France, I welcome you to France invests." "Do you have a specific investment plan? Maybe I can help!" Xia Yudan said with a smile: "Mr. Mitterrand, I didn¡¯t know much about the situation in France before, and I am still learning about it. The specific investment plan has not yet been made. If it is done at that time, I have to hope that the government can Give more tolerance and support." Fran?ois Mitterrand promised: "Of course, the government has always provided considerate services to foreign investments." "And we are also good friends. I will help you to the greatest extent within my ability!" "You can call me anytime." With that said, Fran?ois Mitterrand took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yu, and said again: "This is my personal business card. There are two numbers on it. One is from my home and the other is My private office." "Ok!" Xia Yu solemnly took it, took a look and put it in his pocket. Then, Xia Yu asked, "Mr. Mitterrand, I heard that the government is now leading the nationalization of certain industries. Has it been determined?" "I want to avoid some areas in advance, so as not to embarrass you." Although the words are euphemistic, the meaning is very clear. Facing Xia Yu''s scorching eyes, Fran?ois Mitterrand pondered for a moment, but decided to tell Xia Yu the truth. Because he wasn''t sure if Xia Yu already knew it, he was deliberately asking him. Anyway, the government has discussed it many times now. With the eyes of major French families, he must have known a lot. There is no need to hide Xia Yu. He said truthfully: "Mr. Xia, the government is indeed promoting the nationalization reform. It has not been out of the economic quagmire for so many years. Only by strengthening government intervention can we save the French economy." "Companies that are now state-owned enterprises will be repurchased if there is a small outflow of equity." "Then heavy industry and banking will be the main areas of government reform." "However, the government will not interfere too much in finance other than banking." "Of course, if Mr. Xia you plan to develop in the banking industry, it is also possible, but there will be some restrictions temporarily..." Xia Yu showed a clear look. He continued to ask: "Mr. Mitterrand, which banks will be nationalized in the nationalization reform of the banking industry? Has a standard or a list come out?" Fran?ois Mitterrand could not truthfully say these questions about Xia Yu. So he shook his head with a regretful expression on his face, and said with emotion: "There is no standard yet, and it is still under discussion. The specific operation is still uncertain." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Mr. Mitterrand, I would like to ask you a favor!" Fran?ois Mitterrand was stunned, but asked calmly on the surface: "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu smiled and said: "If the French government intends to nationalize all large private banks, then it must not miss Edmund Rohill Bank, and no matter how they public relations, try not to approve it." "I think the major families and consortia in France will definitely support your approach. There should not be much domestic resistance." Xia Yu is targeting the Rohill family! Fran?ois Mitterrand shrank his pupils, looked at Xia Yu solemnly, and asked: "Mr. Xia, do you have any conflict with the Rohill family?" Because the plan in France required Fran?ois Mitterrand''s full support, and he himself was not a Jewish sympathizer, Xia Yu did not hide his intention. Xia Yu nodded, his eyes were sharp, and he resolutely said: "The Rohill family counted me many times when I was weak and invaded part of my interests. Now I have the strength to fight them. Get back what belongs to me!" Have the strength to fight against the Rohill family! This information in Xia Yu''s words was noticed by Fran?ois Mitterrand. His heart was shaken. Is Xia Yu''s strength so strong? how can that be? But since he dared to start against the Roshir family, he couldn''t have a certain degree of confidence, so even if it was not enough to fight the Roshir family, it should be enough to protect himself. Even if it is enough to protect yourself, it is terrible! In Fran?ois Mitterrand''s heart, Xia Yu''s weight soared again. He has already made up his mind to use the French intelligence system to investigate Xia Yu''s true strength. Maybe he needs Xia Yu''s more support for the next re-election... Fran?ois Mitterrand and Xia Yu looked at each other, and said seriously: "Mr. Xia, do you want to completely drive Edmund Lowhill Bank out of France?" "If it is, even if other families in the country will support it, it will have a certain degree of difficulty, and I have to bear a lot of pressure Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "Mr. Mitterrand, too It is not necessary to completely drive them out. I know that the Rohill family has other assets in France besides Edmund Rohill Bank. It is unrealistic to want them to be completely driven out. " "Actually my real thoughts are..." Following Xia Yu''s words, Fran?ois Mitterrand suddenly appeared, with an inexplicable smile on his mouth. In doing so, his pressure is only temporary, and it can be pushed to other families in France so that they can stand in the front, and there is still some room for operation. And Xia Yu also promised to give generous thanks, so what reason does he have to refuse? He readily nodded his head and agreed: "Mr. Xia, I understand what you mean, you have done me a great favor before, and I will help with your favor!" "When there is a specific change, you will contact me when that time comes." "Ok." "Mr. Mitterrand, thank you!" "You''re welcome, aren''t we close friends?" "Yes haha¡­¡­" ... After everything was negotiated smoothly, Xia Yu relaxed, seeing that it was late, and he did not stay too much, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. The French president helped Fran?ois Mitterrand to calculate the affairs of the Rohill family, so absolutely foolproof! Next, he has to build his own business map in France. The French branch of the Mirror Group and the French branch of Bright Fund are not enough. In France, large and small consortiums and families are all over the country, and the dense network of relationships laid out is more complicated and secretive than that of the United Kingdom. It is not easy for him to settle down... PS: The situation in France is that the more you check the information, the more complicated it becomes. It is indeed more difficult than that in the United Kingdom. The plot is not easy to arrange and speechless. v3 Chapter 1086: French business strategy Chapter 1086 French Business Strategy Direction The view that the situation in France is more complicated than that in the United Kingdom is not derived from Xia Yu''s random analysis, but the real situation. Among the current three giants in Europe-Britain, France and West Germany, Britain is undoubtedly the most relaxed attitude towards Jews. This is caused by many factors. The most obvious is the situation of the Three Kingdoms during World War II. Needless to say, Germany has fallen, and all the Jews in the country have been purged by Germany. On the contrary, the United Kingdom, protected by the English Channel, has defended its homeland, so the strength of Jewish families and consortia in Britain has been preserved. Not to mention, London in the United Kingdom is also the financial center of Europe. There are a large number of domestic companies listed in the United Kingdom. Jewish families and consortia are masters in this field. They can easily control or affect many companies. Naturally, they can affect the United Kingdom¡¯s Their attitude. On the contrary, it is France and West Germany, especially West Germany. Those families are not keen on listing family companies. What they value is the control of the company and the future development. From this aspect, it has blocked the Jewish power to a large extent. permeation of. The situation in France and Germany has also allowed many families to control certain fields for decades or even hundreds of years. Even if the nature of France has changed several times, these families have not been changed, because no matter whether France is the previous constitutional monarchy or the current republic, the families that rule France are still the same, and they have not changed at all. This can be seen from the fact that the Bourbon, Orleans, and Bonaparte families that once ruled France are still present at the same time! (It is true that it still exists. This is considered a European tradition. For this reason, there are always dynasties restored in ancient Europe, and ancient China rarely leaves the remnants of the previous dynasties) According to statistics, among the top 250 domestic companies in France and West Germany, the proportion of family-owned companies exceeds 40%! Many shareholding ratios are 80%, 90%, or even full shareholding! This ratio is very scary, because as far as Xia Yu knows, less than one-third of family-owned companies in the United States are mostly acquired by large consortia in the later period of sole proprietorship or joint control, and they have been controlled by a family from beginning to end. Of companies are not without, but the proportion is very small. As the saying goes, flies do not bite seamless eggs! Many of France''s "tempting good eggs" are seamless, and many of the business methods that Xia Yu is good at are not available to many companies in France! Moreover, the major ancient families in France are also very closely connected. If you are not sure about your degree, stabbing one is like stabbing a hornet''s nest. If it were not for this reason, France would not be the most difficult country for American capital to enter. This can be seen from the fact that the later generations of France often acted independently, not giving face to the United States or even acting against it. Among the three European giants in the later generations, Britain was the most obedient. Germany was stuck by the US garrison and couldn''t stand firm. France was just as strong as ever. The government of a capitalist society represents the will of capital. American capital manipulates the government to achieve its own goals. Of course, French capital can influence the government to resist or even counterattack. ... That night, Xia Yu went back to replenish his energy, and after waking up and eating breakfast the next day, he settled at home and worked out a French settlement strategy. After thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to focus more on the tertiary industry in his career in France, supplemented by the secondary and primary industries. It''s not that he doesn''t want to deeply penetrate the industrial manufacturing industry that affects people''s livelihood and affects the foundation of France, but the reality does not allow it. The vast majority of France¡¯s heavy industry and military industry don¡¯t need to think about it. There are a large part of its Chinese companies, and the remaining part is also the family industry of some French families, which is difficult to take away. For example, the Peugeot Citroen Group and Renault Automobile Group, the two major French car companies. The former is in the hands of the Peugeot family and the government. Although the Peugeot family only holds 25% of the shares, the voting rights are as high as 38%. The French government also holds 14% of the shares. Together, no one can take it away. As for the latter''s Renault Automobile Group, let alone the second largest car manufacturer in France or a French military industry giant. It produced guns, ammunition, aircraft and light tanks for France during World War I, and even more during World War II. It produced weapons and munitions for Germany. After the victory of World War II, the Renault family was wiped out by the French government, and the Renault Automobile Group was wholly owned by the government. In addition to these two heavy industry and military industry giants, France has many large industrial groups, but Xia Yu knows very well that this time the giants also cannot get rid of the fate of being nationalized by the French government. Therefore, manufacturing in France is difficult and risky. Of course, the most important thing is that most have no future! Yes, there is no future! In this regard, at this time, only Xia Yu in the world can make this judgment with confidence! Although France started to "de-industrialize" in the past few years, aviation, automobiles, rail transit, military industry, nuclear power, etc. still maintain strong competitiveness in the world, and large families and consortia engaged in these fields are not. Maybe watch the decline of the family business. According to statistics made by the French government statistics department at the beginning of this year, the added value of the manufacturing industry accounted for 18.49% of the gross national product in 1980, and the service industry accounted for 57.83%. But Xia Yu remembers that in 2017, France''s manufacturing value added as a percentage of its gross national product has dropped below 10%! The added value of the service industry accounts for more than 70% of the gross national product, which is higher than that of Britain, Germany and island countries! In later generations, there are not few large French manufacturing companies that are globally competitive. France is world-renowned for retail, luxury goods, cosmetics, wine and fast-moving consumer goods! And these industries are far from reaching the explosive influence of later generations, and it can be said that the future is extremely bright. Under the premise that it is difficult to enter the inherent field of the French family and consortium, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to rely on the vision of later generations to occupy the track in advance. When the power and money in these latter areas erupt, it will be too late for the big French families and consortia to think about restrictions, and Xia Yu can truly gain a foothold in France. With these core pillar industries, supplemented by companies in other fields, the overall competitiveness and influence will never be weak! With this in mind, Xia Yu wrote four words on the paper-fashion, wine, retail, and other industries. So where do you start in the fashion industry? According to the information collected by Leo Martin, it is impossible for L''Or¨¦al, the strongest French cosmetics group, to be acquired. It is indeed a pity for Xia Yu. But there is no way, the only daughter of L''Or¨¦al Group founder Eug¨¨ne Schueller¡¯s only daughter Liliana Bettencourt is the owner. He can''t buy it, and others can''t buy it either. At present, the largest shareholder of L''Or¨¦al Group is gesparal, which holds 53.7% of the shares of L''Or¨¦al Group, but this company is just a shell company established purely for cooperative holding only There are two shareholders, Liliana Bettencourt, which holds 51%, and Nestl¨¦, Switzerland, which holds 49%. The reason for this control is that Liliana Bettencourt learned in 1974 that the French government at the time wanted to nationalize the L''Or¨¦al Group, and therefore took life-saving measures and introduced Nestl¨¦ to protect it. In that year, the French government was successfully approved by Nestl¨¦ Group''s public relations, but it restricted Liliana Bettencourt and Nestl¨¦ Group from reselling, transferring or mortgage the equity of L''Or¨¦al Group for 20 years. Seven years have passed, and there are still thirteen years before the deadline. No one is playing! If Xia Yu wanted to use the L''Or¨¦al Group''s idea, the only way was to acquire the Swiss Nestl¨¦ Group. Otherwise, you can only acquire a portion of the equity from the stock market and become a major shareholder. In Xia Yu''s view, investing in the L''Or¨¦al Group is definitely necessary, but for his strategy, he must have a cosmetic company that he fully controls. As for the Chanel company, the same is not true. This company has not yet been listed, and the Widmore family holds more than 70% of the shares. This family is powerful. Previously, it was the manufacturer of the French Amio bomber, Felix. Half of Amiot''s shares belong to an old French family. The Herm¨¨s company is now passed down to the fifth generation of the Herm¨¨s family, and the family''s collective shareholding has reached 56.2%, which is also difficult. The Kering Group is now just a timber company that has been established for more than ten years. On the contrary, it is the LVMH Group, which is second only to L''Oreal Group in market value among the later French luxury goods companies, has not yet been established. There are only Louis Vuitton and Moet Hennessy in France, and neither of them has merged. So, do you still hesitate? Take these two surgery first! v3 Chapter 1087: Come 1 Blitz Early the next morning, Xia Yu finally came to the resident of the French branch of the Bright Fund, which is located near the Paris Stock Exchange in the second arrondissement of Paris. Leo Martin held a meeting of company executives with great interest, and solemnly introduced Xia Yu, a major shareholder and director from the British parent company, to all executives, and announced that Xia Yu can mobilize all the company¡¯s resources and intervene in all affairs. . Although Leo Martin did not announce the identity of Xia Yu¡¯s boss, these statements alone are enough to make all the company¡¯s executives remember Xia Yu¡¯s name deeply and give Xia Yu enough respect. After the meeting, Xia Yu, accompanied by Leo Martin, toured the company, especially for a detailed understanding of the company''s investment and key businesses. One morning passed in the busy schedule. In the afternoon, Xia Yu alone called Leo Martin into his office and told him something. "Leo, next, the company will build a pillar in each of the three fields of French fashion, wine, and retail. There is only one short-term goal and be the first in France in these three fields!" Seeing Xia Yu''s expression and ease with his fingers, Leo Martin was shocked. He had not been in contact with Xia Yu for a long time, so facing Xia Yu''s style suddenly, he would inevitably be restrained. Xia Yu didn''t care about these things. He continued: "I know that the French branch has insufficient funds, so I will directly deploy the funds to achieve these strategic goals into the company. You only need to cooperate with me to complete these goals." "Is there a problem?" Leo Martin was so surprised that he shook his head suddenly and said loudly, "No problem!" The boss is indeed the boss! Talking and acting are so domineering! It seems that the French branch of the Bright Fund that he is in charge is about to rise strongly! This opportunity must be seized firmly, while the boss is still in France, as much as possible to get more support from the boss. Xia Yu nodded slightly with satisfaction, then threw a plan on the table and motioned to Leo Martin to pick it up. "Leo, put this away and look good." When he opened, Xia Yu said: "This is a temporary plan I made. The most important tasks are two, the acquisition of Mo?t Hennessy and Louis Vuitton." "You will set up the acquisition team before tomorrow, collect the detailed information of these two companies as quickly as possible, and make a preliminary acquisition plan to me. I will personally check this acquisition." "In addition, you have to arrange the department to investigate the market situation and company situation in the corresponding field according to the fields mentioned in the plan. I hope that you can get it out as soon as I need the relevant information." "Is there a problem?" This resolute attitude of Xia Yu was undoubtedly revealed, and this was the first thing the boss really did. Of course Leo Martin agreed unconditionally. Besides, these things were not difficult last night, the key is to do well and leave a better impression on the boss. With a serious face, he said without hesitation: "Boss, promise to complete the task!" A smile appeared on Xia Yu''s stern face, and he nodded slightly and said: "Yeah! I see your performance!" "Hurry up and be busy!" "Okay, boss, I''m going down first!" After speaking, Leo Martin slowly withdrew from Xia Yu''s office. Five days passed in a flash... When Xia Yu came to the company early in the morning, Leo Martin came to his office with a confident smile and stepped on a steady pace to submit a task to him. "Boss, this is all the information you want about Mo?t Hennessy and Louis Vuitton." "This is the list of members of the acquisition team and the acquisition plan. Please check." Xia Yu glanced at the relatively thick material and realized that it would take at least an hour to read it. He did not intend to delay Leo Martin''s time. He smiled at Leo Martin and praised him: "The efficiency is good. I''ll let you find you after I finish reading. You can go to other work first!" "Ok!" After Leo Martin left, Xia Yu opened the information of the two companies. The first choice is the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. This company is now a large French wine group and ranks third in the French wine market. After all, in the wine market, there are many categories of champagne, brandy, red wine, ouzo, etc. The Moet Hennessy Wine Group is the overlord in two of these areas, namely the champagne market and the brandy market. This has to mention the previous situation of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. This group company was formed in 1971 by the merger of Moet & Chandon Champagne, the leader of the champagne industry, and Hennessy, the world hegemon of brandy. Although the two companies have merged, they are mainly channel business and resource interoperability. In fact, the two companies are still allowed to produce their own wines internally, which can ensure that the production will not be chaotic and the quality of the wines. As of last year, Moet & Chandon Champagne has a total of 664 hectares of vineyards, and the variety of champagne produced accounts for a quarter of the total champagne exported from France! The Hennessy Company did not do too much. Although the directly owned vineyards are only 585 hectares, there are still 25 vineyards that have signed a contract with Hennessy Company to supply all the grapes they produce. In terms of production, Hennessy also owns 28 distilling houses and has extremely strong industrial streamlined production capacity. It is precisely because of this strategy of Hennessy that its output is very impressive. Last year¡¯s financial report showed that Hennessy sold 130 million sticks of brandy worldwide, occupying 100% of the world¡¯s cognac market. Forty-one of the share, Hennessy brandy is properly synonymous with brandy! Therefore, after the two giants are merged together, their strength is even stronger! In addition, more than ten years ago, he nominated himself as the general manager of Moet & Chandon Champagne, and Alain Chevalier, the professional manager who contributed to the merger of Hennessy Company, had great ambitions and did not want to let the Moet & Yuet Hennessy Wine Group Be bound. Therefore, in 1978, he also led the group company to acquire the perfume distribution business owned by the Bussac Group, a large textile company with 30,000 employees, and managed the sales of perfume brands such as Dior, Labs and Roc. The two companies were listed on the Paris Stock Exchange before the merger. After the merger, they were also listed companies. Now the company''s market value has reached 5.85 billion francs, which is close to 1.3 billion in US dollars! The company¡¯s total share capital is 24 million shares, and the single share price was 243.75 francs at the close yesterday. In terms of equity, the distribution structure is what Xia Yu hopes to see. It is also thanks to the fact that the Moet Hennessy Wine Group was merged, and after a series of mergers and acquisitions, the equity was relatively dispersed. Among them, the Moet & Chandon family is the largest shareholder, holding 21.4% of the shares, the Hennessy family is the second largest shareholder, holding 17.5% of the shares, and the rest are some banks, with a cumulative shareholding of It was 36.8%, followed by investment institutions, which reached 15.4%, and the remaining 8.9% was held by small and large retail investors. Of course, the Moet and the Hennessy family are not fools, of course they know to guard against being acquired. Although the total shareholding ratio of the two companies is only 38.9%, because these two families are the founding families of the original company, they have made a series of plans when they are listed. Among them, the Mo?t family owns 100%. Of the 29 voting rights, the Hennessy family owns 23% of the voting rights. The total voting rights of the two companies reached 52%, so they were able to control the board of directors. Then there is the Louis Vuitton Group, which is mainly engaged in handbags, travel goods, small leather goods, and personalized customized services. The current Louis Vuitton company is not listed, so the strength is not as strong as later generations. Without the support of huge funds, the Louis Vuitton Company is not involved in the well-known accessories, shoes, ready-to-wear, watches, fine jewelry and other businesses of later generations. The number of global stores now is far less than the more than 400 of later generations, only 64. In terms of equity, because of the development of the past 140 years and the founder of the Vuitton family was only an apprentice born, UU read www. uukanshu.com Therefore, the Vuitton family holds only 41.2% of the shares of Louis Vuitton, which is not like those powerful old-fashioned families that can retain 100% of the company''s equity. The current president of the Louis Vuitton company is Henry Ligamir, the son-in-law of Henry Vuitton, the patriarch of the Vuitton family. ... After reading the information of these two companies, Xia Yu looked relaxed and very happy. Even without looking at the acquisition plan made by Leo Martin and others, in response to this kind of equity situation, Xia Yu''s mind has many ways of acquisition. He chose the right acquisition target! If he were to switch to Herm¨¨s and Chanel, he would be ashamed. No wonder the later generations of Bernard Arnault, who was called the "Napoleon of the boutique world" by the French, would look at these two companies because they are best acquired. After a short break, Xia Yu once again opened the acquisition plan made by Leo Martin and others. After browsing through it, he found that the acquisition plan was done to a fairly good level. But it is not unchanged. The key is that the acquisition team does not know Xia Yu''s determination and capital, so the seemingly bold acquisition plan still has some limitations. In order to lay a foundation in the fashion field as quickly as possible, Xia Yu decided to fight a blitz in France, and also used this opportunity to bring out the Bright Fund and his reputation. Do what you think. Xia Yu made some changes in the acquisition plan. Then called Leo Martin and told him to make a new plan immediately. At three o''clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu convened the entire acquisition team and assigned tasks to everyone based on their responsibilities. Following his order, the entire Bright Fund began to operate rapidly. n. v3 Chapter 1088: Like a broken bamboo Chapter 1088 Headquarters of the National Bank of Paris. The current president Le Mir warmly received Leo Martin. Bright Fund has a deep business relationship with BNP Paribas. For example, the two sides have a lot of cooperation in the financial allocation business. Not to mention, early this morning, he received a report from his subordinates that the Bright Fund had suddenly transferred a sum of up to 1.5 billion francs to their bank account. Although I don''t know what the Bright Fund wants to do, but this big customer deposits money in his bank, it is still such a large sum, can he not be enthusiastic? "President Leo Martin, welcome you, please sit down!" "Is it the same coffee as last time?" "Okay thank you!" ... After a long greeting, Le Mire''s secretary served both of them with steaming coffee. Leo Martin said straightforwardly: "President Le Mill, this time, I hope to reach two cooperations with BNP Paribas." "In order to show my sincerity, yesterday I have deposited 1.5 billion francs in our company''s BNP Paribas account. I wonder if you have received any news." Le Mir raised his brows, then smiled and nodded and said: "I received the news this morning, thank you very much for your trust in our bank." "I am also happy to serve your company." "What kind of cooperation is it?" For banks, the most important thing is funds. As long as they have funds, they can make money by operating. Therefore, Le Mire has made up his mind to eat all the money in his stomach to increase the strength of BNP Paribas. Leo Martin took out his letter of intent for cooperation from his briefcase and handed it to Le Mir. "President Le Mir, this is a letter of intent for cooperation made by our company, which contains the business needs of our company. You can take a look first." "Ok!" After Le Mill finished speaking, he immediately accepted the flimsy letter of intent for cooperation, opened it and quickly browsed it. When he first looked at the front part, his brows frowned subconsciously, but he kept his breath and continued to look down. When he saw the back, his brows stretched out, and his heart quickly calculated. Leo Martin was not in a hurry, and kept enough patience to wait while drinking coffee. After a long time, Le Mire finally put down the letter of intent for cooperation in his hand. Leo Martin then smiled and asked: "President Le Mill, are you willing to follow these businesses?" Le Mire smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have no reason to refuse." "However, for specific discussions, your company needs to connect with our dedicated responsible personnel." Bright Fund wants to acquire the equity of Moet Hennessy Wine Group and Louis Vuitton Group in the hands of BNP Paribas. In order to maximize the benefits, it must be negotiated by the negotiating team, and to be honest, as the president of the bank, he focuses on the overall work , It¡¯s good to know that the bank owns these shares, and he can¡¯t remember so many details. Leo Martin nodded and declared something: "President Le Mill, I hope to reach the first cooperation as soon as possible, and then start the second cooperation business." "And it must be kept confidential. You should see that the commission we give is very high. I believe that no company in France will reject this business, but we only contacted your bank. If the news is leaked, it will Put us in great trouble, and your profits will be lower then, won''t they?" Le Mirre heard the potential meaning of Leo Martin¡¯s words, and he was not upset either. He looked serious and nodded and promised: ¡°President Leo Martin, please rest assured that our bank will never exceed the bottom line of business, and will do our best. Guarantee the interests of partners." "Today I will convene relevant personnel for a short meeting, and I will call you the situation in the afternoon, okay?" "Of course no problem, I am waiting for your good news!" Leo Martin said with a slight smile. ... Leo Martin came fast and went fast. After he left, Le Mire read the letter of intent to cooperate again, and then asked the secretary to deliver some instructions. There are two cooperations offered by Bright Fund. One is to acquire the equity of Moet Hennessy Wine Group held by BNP Paribas and the equity of Louis Vuitton Group. The second is to entrust it to help cash purchase other banks and institutions. Equity held. The two cooperations are tied together, and the second business can be opened only after the first one is completed. Therefore, BNP Paribas made some money at most on the first cooperation, and the second acquisition was faster. The lower the cost of the acquisition, the higher their profits. The acquisition conditions of the Bright Fund also ensure that BNP Paribas will do everything possible to complete the acquisition of relevant equity quickly and in a low-key manner. After all, the Louis Vuitton Group is not listed, but Moet Hennessy Wine Group is a listed company. Once the news is exposed and the time is delayed, the stock price will definitely skyrocket. Before directly approaching the Moet, Hennessy, and Vuitton family, Xia Yu must first make sufficient preparations to win a blow. ... In the afternoon of the same day, Le Mir replied to Leo Martin, and the two sides began negotiations the next morning. After all, the Bright Fund and BNP Paribas are not just cooperating, and Le Mire is not short-sighted, so he set a tone for his subordinates. In order to succeed as soon as possible, Xia Yu did not save money, so the acquisition team of the Bright Fund offered a very good price. After two negotiations, the first cooperation was reached quickly. The 12.4% equity of Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group held by BNP Paribas was transferred at a price of 928 million francs, a 28% premium. The 21.4% equity of the Louis Vuitton Group was transferred at a price of 523 million francs, a premium of 30%. The total of the two acquisitions was 1.451 billion francs, which were directly deducted from the bank account of the Bright Fund by BNP Paribas. However, for the sake of insurance and to evade supervision, the equity of the two companies is still held by BNP Paribas. The reason for this is to take into account the current transaction regulations in the financial market in France. According to regulations, new shareholders of a listed company are increasing their shareholding by more than 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 33%. At 33, 50%, 66.66%, 90% and 95%, the holding company and the financial market supervisory agency shall be notified. But if it is an old shareholder who trades equity through cash, the related transaction does not need to be disclosed, and the shareholding situation does not need to be disclosed to the exchange within half a month. As long as this rule is abided by, Xia Yu can acquire as much equity as possible outside the stock market Of course, the premise is to have enough cash. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of BNP Paribas, but also to allow them to buy with peace of mind. Less than three hours after the first cooperative transaction of 1.451 billion francs was drawn, another 3 billion francs were transferred to the bank account of the Bright Fund. As long as BNP Paribas acquires an equity, it can transfer the money to the bank¡¯s own account in advance for transaction payment. You don¡¯t need to use BNP Paribas¡¯ money, you only need to post the account, and after each acquisition is completed , The bank can get the corresponding commission directly. It can be said that Xia Yu also took a lot of thought in order to make BNP Paribas contribute as much as possible. As the second largest bank in France and the fourth largest in the world, BNP Paribas¡¯ influence is not overshadowed. When they fully mobilized resources, the acquisition offensive is simply broken. In just one week, the shares of the two groups held by other banks were acquired. Among them, the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group''s total of 24.4% of the equity was divided into four times, and a total of 1.932 million francs was spent, including the 92 million francs commission of the National Bank of Paris. Then, the three shareholders of the Louis Vuitton Group totaled 21.4% of the equity and spent 504,07 million francs, and BNP Paribas earned a commission of 25.7 million francs. Although it is equivalent to paying more than 26 million US dollars in commission, in Xia Yu''s view, the efficiency and results are indeed worthwhile. The first stage mission was completed perfectly! The Bright Fund has more than one billion francs remaining in the bank account of BNP Paribas, and most of this money has to be spent! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1089: Powerful assist In fact, when the first phase of the acquisition task is completed, if Xia Yu¡¯s secretly controlled equity is concentrated in his hands and announced, it will become the largest shareholder of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group and the Louis Vuitton Group. Among them, the shareholding ratio of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group reached 36.8%, which was higher than the 21.4% of the Mo?t family and 17% of the Hennessy family. Fives. Of the remaining equity, 15.4% is in the hands of many investment institutions and 8.9% is in the hands of retail investors. The shareholding ratio in the Louis Vuitton Group reached 42.9%, slightly higher than the 41.2% of the Vuitton family, and the remaining 15.9% of the equity was all In the hands of the Brand family, which once funded the growth of the Louis Vuitton Group. ... Early the next morning. "Boss, this is the acquisition plan that we adjusted in real time according to your requirements, please give me your instructions!" After receiving the adjusted plan from Leo Martin, Xia Yu leaned back on the soft and comfortable boss chair and read it carefully. After a long while, he smiled satisfied and praised: "Good job!" "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Leo Martin said with a smile. Xia Yu told Leo Martin: "Wait I will let people from Standard Chartered Bank come over. Today, you will temporarily remove the shares of Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group currently held by the company, except for the part held by BNP Paribas. Transfer to Standard Chartered Bank." "Then within a week, no matter what method is used, it must take the equity held by the Mo?t Family and the equity held by the institution, and act separately from BNP Paribas in accordance with the plan." "The equity of the Brand family must also be taken within a week!" "Guaranteed to complete the task!" Leo Martin knew the criticality of the task, he held his head tall, and replied firmly. ... Just as Leo Martin began to act, the BNP Paribas on the other side acted again for high commissions. The mission of BNP Paribas is to buy the shares held by the Moet family. In order to be as successful as possible, Le Mir, the president of BNP Paribas, directly approached his younger brother, Alain Chevalier. Alain Chevalier is the current president of Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group and an outstanding professional manager. The reason why Le Mire took over the task of acquiring the shares of the Moet family was because the two had a very deep relationship, and Le Mire knew the nature of his schoolboy, so he thought it was very sure. Alain Chevalier''s achievement today is inseparable from Le Mir. In 1970, when Charles de Gaulle died, President Pompidou came to power to overthrow many of Charles de Gaulle''s policies, making Alain Chevalier, an auditor in the industrial sector and brokerage agency, disappointed in politics and wanted to show his ambitions in the commercial field. Just at a party, Le Mire told him that the Moet & Chandon Group was looking for a new head. He also said that the current head of the Moet family is not very concerned about the family business and is willing to give up the power of management and hand over the group to a team of professional managers. It was precisely because of this news that Alain Chevalier offered himself and declared his alumni relationship with Le Mire and successfully became the general manager of the Moet & Chandon Winery Group. When the Moet & Yuet Winery Group merged with the Hennessy Group, Le Mir still helped Alain Chevalier with leveraged funds, which allowed the Moet and Chanel family to occupy more shares of the merged company. The Hennessy family took control of the company. However, the friendship between the two of them returned to their friendship. In the face of the huge temptation thrown by the Bright Fund, Le Mir, who never owed Alain Chevalier, could of course ignore the former and transfer the equity to the Bright Fund. When Le Mir had also considered that after the Bright Fund¡¯s acquisition of Moet Hennessy Wine Group, it still requires a team of professional managers to operate, there is a high probability that Alain Chevalier will not be replaced. When talking to Leo Martin later , He also got a assured answer. On the afternoon of December 12, the sun was shining brightly. Le Mir invited Alain Chevalier to play golf. During the break, Le Mir''s words made Alain Chevalier, who had been relaxed, his expression instantly solemn. "Mr. Alain Chevalier, I need you to do me a favor and help me convince the Moet & Chandon family that I want to acquire the equity in their hands." "Mr. Le Mill, may I know who entrusted you to buy it?" "Could it be that the equity held by BNP Paribas has been transferred?" Being too nervous, Alain Chevalier hurriedly asked two questions, staring at Le Mir, a heart lifted, and grasping the chair''s hand subconsciously. "Mr. Alain Chevalier, don''t be nervous and relax." Le Mire said with a smile. Alain Chevalier smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Le Mill, you should know my ambitions in this life. I have paid too much energy for the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. The hands are going to be formal." "And I am fifty years old this year, and I am no longer young." Le Mire''s smile gradually faded. He nodded slightly, looked into the distance, and looked at the golden sycamore tree that had fallen on the ground, with infinite emotion. Unconsciously, he and Alain Chevalier have known each other for more than ten years, and the latter is already fifty years old. And what about himself? I''m 67 years old, I don''t know how many years I can live... For a while, both of them were silent. a long time. Le Mire cleared up his mood and said solemnly to Alain Chevalier: "Mr. Alain Chevalier, if you are worried that Mo?t Hennessy will be fired after the acquisition, then I can tell you, you The worry is unnecessary." "Moreover, from my personal point of view, although the strength of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group is already very strong, it still has a high room for growth. No matter whether it is the Moet and Hennessy family, they do not have the capital to let The company is growing explosively again." "What''s more, now the Moet & Yuet family is thinking more about dividends and investing funds in other areas, while the Hennessy family is increasing its shareholding little by little, hoping to gain control of the company. Many times you are bound. " Upon hearing this, Alain Chevalier, who knew the situation, subconsciously nodded in approval. "But this time the acquirer has the capital and strength to support the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group to carry out the second major change They also have this ambition, and they have now put it into action." Alain Chevalier stared straight at Le Mir and asked: "Mr. Le Mir, I need more real information to make a decision." Realizing that Alain Chevalier had been moved, a smile appeared on Le Mir''s mouth. He smiled lightly and said: "You should have heard of this company. It is the Bright Fund. This is a large financial company from the UK with assets of more than 100 billion francs." In fact, the assets of the Bright Fund exceed more than 200 billion francs, but because Xia Yu hid the Bright Fund deeply and there are many assets that have been processed, Le Mir only thought that the assets of the Bright Fund were only more than 1,000. Billion francs. But for most people, the difference is not big. A company with assets of more than 100 billion francs is a proper giant even if it is placed in France. Think of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group as a French wine giant with a market value. To 5.9 billion francs. Alain Chevalier''s expression changed slightly, and he nodded and said, "I know this company, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is theirs. They are still European media giants, aren''t they?" It''s better to have heard of it! Le Mire smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, this is the company." "I have already asked them to verify that the acquisition of Moet Hennessy Wine Group is just the beginning. Their goal is at least the first in the French wine industry, and even involves other fields." "Do you think such a platform is enough for you to show your ability?" Alain Chevalier was silent again, his eyes flickered, and his heart struggled violently... PS: First update https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1090: The big picture cake technique once again After a long time, Alain Chevalier said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Le Mir, if possible, I would like to see the master behind the scenes." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something and immediately added: "I just want to understand his attitude. As for his cooperation with your bank, I will not touch it." After the latter sentence came out, Le Mir smiled, thinking that Alain Chevalier had a good emotional intelligence. He nodded and said: "Although I think he will meet you, this matter still depends on their wishes. I will communicate with Bright Fund first and give you an answer at that time." This is understandable, so Alain Chevalier said softly: "Okay, trouble you!" "No trouble!" "Hehe, how is the rest? Continue?" "of course!" After speaking, the two got up one after another and walked to the court with golf clubs. It''s just that after talking about it, how can the two people with their own concerns play as relaxed and comfortable as before. But compared to Alain Chevalier, Le Mir¡¯s mood is undoubtedly very relaxed. After all, the two have been in friendship for more than ten years, and he probably knows Alain Chevalier¡¯s current mentality. This is also the reason why he did not directly initiate an acquisition from the Moet & Chandon family, but first came to do Alain Chevalier''s ideological work. Although Alain Chevalier is only a professional manager, the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group has developed to this level. His indelible credit is that he himself has great prestige in the company, and he also has a relatively big influence on the Mo?t Family. Influence. Coupled with his strong ability, if he resists vigorously, it will definitely cause huge troubles, and may even lead to the failure of the acquisition. Of course, if in turn, with his support, then the acquisition becomes very smooth. Even if he sits on the sidelines and does not interfere, the acquisition will be much smoother. Fortunately, Alain Chevalier was moved by him, and then it''s up to the Bright Fund to seize this great opportunity. ... It was more than three o''clock in the afternoon that day. In the oldest house near Louis XV Square in the eighth district, there is a three-Michelin star restaurant named PavillonLedoyen. Here, Xia Yu and Alan Chevalier met. When he saw Xia Yu, Alan Chevalier thought he had mistaken the person, but after receiving Xia Yu''s business card, he had to believe that the young man in front of him would be the principal of the Guangming Fund. "Mr. Xia, you speak French very well. Have you been in France before?" After a brief greeting, Alain Chevalier asked curiously. He was not surprised because Xia Yu spoke French very fluently and smoothly, even his accent was like a Parisian accent. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "I come from the East and rarely come to France. I learned French by myself." Alain Chevalier was surprised, he admired: "Your talent is so enviable! Many Parisians don''t necessarily say it to you!" Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head: "Maybe, I am indeed more sensitive in language." ... "Mr. Alain Chevalier, Mr. Le Mir told me, do you want to know our plans for the Moet Hennessy Wine Group?" After taking a sip of coffee, Xia Yu smiled and said to him. Alain Chevalier concentrated and said with a serious look: "Yes, although I am not a shareholder of the company, but the development of the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group to this stage, I have spent a lot of energy and effort, it is like It is my child, even if it is not my own, but I sincerely hope that it can have a bright future." Xia Yu heard the true feelings expressed in Alan Chevalier''s words, his smile gradually reduced, and his impression of Alan Chevalier was higher. This is a responsible, ideal, and capable professional manager with the "Three Haves". Xia Yu said sincerely: "Mr. Alain Chevalier, if you think so, then our acquisition is the best way out for the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group." Seeing that Alain Chevalier did not speak, he made a statement of listening. Xia Yu continued: "The French wine market is very large. Although Mo?t Hennessy Group is now a wine giant, there are still many in China. A strong competitor." "For example, after seeing the merger of the Moet & Chandon Winery Group and the Hennessy Group, the Pernod Ricard Group, which was merged by Pernod and Ricard, is also very powerful." "There are also Castel Group, French Wine Company, Remy Martin Group, etc." "Moet Hennessy Wine Group wants to completely surpass these companies and have a solid hegemony in the wine market. How long do you think it will take?" Faced with the question of Xia Yu, Alan Chevalier remained silent. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and continued: "I know you have higher expectations for Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group. You don¡¯t want to be a man¡¯s business. That¡¯s why you will lead the acquisition of the perfume sales business of the Busac Group. The profit and market of the industry, luxury goods and cosmetics are higher, but how long do you think it takes to surpass the giants such as L''Oreal Group and Herm¨¨s?" Alan Chevalier''s face became solemn again It''s just that when he heard this, he was a little excited, could it be...? really! Xia Yu''s next words verified his guess, and one by one, the most explosive information bombarded his psychological defense line wildly. "The reason why Bright Fund wants to acquire Moet Hennessy Wine Group is for these goals, not only to become the hegemon of the wine industry, but also to become the hegemon of the luxury and cosmetics market!" "The acquisition of Moet Hennessy Wine Group is only the first step. I am also acquiring a cosmetics company at the same time. I have succeeded more than half." "The first thing after the acquisition of Moet Hennessy Wine Group was to lead the merger of the two companies." "Didn¡¯t Moet Hennessy Winery Group acquire the perfume sales business of the Bussac Group? But the brand ownership is still in the hands of the Bussac Group. I know the reason why you did not purchase all of it is due to financial constraints, but I have enough To buy it with the funds of the country, what I dislike the most is to make cakes for others." "After the merger of the two companies, you are the president of the company. I believe in your ability. I don''t have the energy and time to run a company myself. I have too many things." "In my plan, now French wine and cosmetics companies have to acquire at least ten companies. Of course, if you are sure to acquire other companies, then I definitely support you. You don¡¯t need to consider the capital, and even tens of billions of francs. I can get all the funds of hundreds of billions of francs within a week!" "I have never bothered to brag!" After speaking, Xia Yu calmly took a sip of coffee and moistened his throat, quietly waiting for Alain Chevalier to react. PS: The second one! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1091: $800 million spent To receive such a huge amount of information suddenly, you really need to calm down. But Rao Alan Chevalier has reached the age of knowing the destiny, and has also experienced the ups and downs of politics and business. Faced with the touchable pie drawn by Xia Yu, he still couldn''t calm down in a very short time. This flatbread is too real and delicious! a long time¡­¡­ Alain Chevalier took a deep breath, suppressed the last trace of inner turmoil, and solemnly asked the most critical question: "Mr. Xia, how long do you plan to complete these plans?" The corner of Xia Yu¡¯s mouth raised slightly, and his eyes met Alan Chevalier. Then he said, ¡°It¡¯s December 19th, and there are only twelve days before 1982. I hope that within next year, I will rely on A series of acquisitions have achieved a leading position in the wine and luxury industries. If it can be completed earlier, such as half a year, such as three months, then of course it would be better. We have more time to slowly integrate and settle and stabilize the market. status." "Mr. Alain Chevalier, how about it, would you like to participate in all this yourself?" After a moment of silence, Alain Chevalier smiled bitterly, opened his hands and said, "Mr. Xia, I can''t seem to find a reason for rejection." Xia Yu smiled and stretched out a hand to him. Alan Chevalier reached out and shook Xia Yu''s hand a few times. "Welcome to join!" "It''s my honor!" After putting down his hand, Alain Chevalier suddenly showed a distressed expression, as if he had something to say. Xia Yu asked, "Mr. Alain Chevalier, do you have any difficulties?" Alain Chevalier nodded slightly, took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Xia, I have something to say, which involves my principles and professional ethics." "please say!" Xia Yu smiled and made a please gesture. "Although I have made Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group, the Mo?t Family has also made me. The main reason why I did not refuse after Mr. Le Mire approached me to discuss, but proposed to meet you, is the main reason The Mo?t family¡¯s attitude towards the company itself, the owner of this generation is not interested in running the company. He values ??money more. This is why the Mo?t family will ask me to run the company.¡± "So whether it is to continue to run the company to obtain dividends, or to transfer equity to obtain a large amount of capital, it is okay for the Mo?t family." "But I am the president of the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group after all. The Mo?t Family has given me trust, and I can''t harm their interests. Therefore, it is not convenient for me to intervene in the acquisition. I need you or BNP Paribas to negotiate." "Of course, if it is to acquire the equity of the Hennessy family, I will fully cooperate." "In the next work, I will do my best!" He remembered the kindness of the Mo?t family to him, so he did not want to harm the interests of the Mo?t family, but the Hennessy family had no kindness to him. The reason why the Moet & Chancellor Group had led the acquisition of Hennessy was because Hennessy was in a dilemma. In the 1960s, Hennessy''s share in the global brandy market reached its peak, occupying more than half, and then it began to flourish and decline continuously, causing the stock price to decline, and the shares of the Hennessy family mortgaged to BNP Paribas were flattened. After he got the news from Le Mire, he pushed for the merger of the two companies. It can be said that he saved the Hennessy family. However, Jill Hennessy, the head of the Hennessy family, is a person with strong desire for control and ambition. So after the company stabilized, he began to use dividends and other funds to increase his shareholding little by little, and to put people in the company for the purpose of Compete for the right to operate the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. The internal fighting involved some of his energy and also made him very disgusted. So he was anxious that Xia Yu bought the shares of the Hennessy family and cleared the Hennessy family out... On the contrary, if Xia Yu asks him to help lower the price of the Mo Yue family, then he will be very embarrassed... Not only was Xia Yu not angry at the request made by Alain Chevalier, but he showed admiration, and he had a better impression of him in his heart. With this kind of character and values, he can use it more at ease. If Alain Chevalier would take the initiative to help him cheat the Moet Yue family, he might come to cheat him in the future. He dare not rest assured. In the face of a large multinational consortium, this kind of person will be an extremely unstable factor. . He smiled and nodded and said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s okay. I support your attitude. The acquisition of the Moet¡¯s family¡¯s equity will be completed by BNP Paribas. During this period, you can temporarily stabilize the company.¡± Alan Chevalier breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and readily agreed: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your understanding." "Please rest assured that the company will never fall into turmoil!" Xia Yu smiled lightly: "I believe in your ability!" ... After getting Alain Chevalier, the acquisition team of BNP Paribas directly approached the Mo?t family. The Mo?t family urgently approached Alain Chevalier to discuss countermeasures. The latter did not express an opinion, but objectively analyzed the pros and cons, and then returned the decision to the Mo?t family. And BNP Paribas also makes full use of resources, starting from other industries of the Mo?t family, especially in the fields of interest to the current owners of the Mo?t family, to exchange resources, plus the price is very good. Therefore, the Moetley family readily agreed to transfer the equity. On the Bright Fund side, the French offensive also broke down the psychological bottom line of the Brand family step by step. Without informing the Vuitton family, the equity was transferred to the Bright Fund. After the one-week action period ended, Xia Yu''s second-stage offensive achieved the expected results. First is the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. The purchase of 21.4% of the shares held by the Moet & Yue family cost 2.228 million francs. Then BNP Paribas and the Bright Fund acquired a total of 11.8% equity from other institutions, costing a total of 932 million francs. Then there is the Louis Vuitton Group. The acquisition of 15.9% of the equity held by the Brand family cost 389 million francs. So Xia Yu spent a total of 3.549 million francs in the second stage, which is almost 800 million US dollars! But as long as the goal is completed, the money is worth it! ... In the meeting room of the Bright Fund. Xia Yu, Leo Martin and the acquisition team gathered together. Leo Martin reports the latest situation to Xia Yu. Successive successes have been achieved, and they have already occupied an absolute advantage, which makes Leo Martin''s heart happy, and his reporting voice is much lighter. "Boss, now our company, Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas held on behalf of the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group''s total equity has reached 70%." "The Hennessy family holds 17.5%, and institutions and retail investors hold 12.5%." "As for the Louis Vuitton Group, we already hold 58.8%, and the remaining 41.2% of the equity is in the hands of the Vuitton family." "Because we purchased a total of 6.7% of the equity of Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group from institutions and hands two days ago. According to the rules, the equity will need to be publicly disclosed tomorrow..." After listening to Leo Martin¡¯s report Xia Yu nodded slightly, glanced over everyone''s faces, and praised: "Thank you for your hard work during this time!" "With everyone''s joint efforts, this acquisition has achieved huge phased results." "But we must also realize that in the first two stages, in addition to our company, it also relied on BNP Paribas to play a huge role." "From tomorrow on, everything will be on our own. The workload will increase a lot. Unknown risks will still exist. Everyone must adjust their mentality..." "Early tomorrow morning, we will take back all the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas on behalf of the Bank, and then disclose it to the public. After the disclosure, as the absolute controlling shareholder and the reason why the outstanding shares are less than 25%, Directly apply for suspension, and arrange for someone to enter the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group to take over." "In addition, the acquisition of the shares of the Hennessy family and the Vuitton family was initiated." "Leo, you are responsible for grouping the people present. The lack of manpower to supplement in time, you must act on time tomorrow." "Do you understand?" When saying the last sentence, Xia Yu deliberately increased the volume, and his sharp eyes swept at everyone. Everyone present raised their heads upright and responded loudly: "Understood!" "Does anyone have any questions?" Xia Yu asked again. He glanced around and found that no one had expressed his opinion, he directly declared the meeting adjourned. "The meeting ends if not!" After speaking, Xia Yu left the meeting room with steady steps. After he left, Leo Martin began to refine his work... PS: The first one is here, I wish you a happy weekend! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1092: It was reported to the Securities Regulatory Commission! The golden Uzbekistan falls, and the jade rabbit rises. In the blink of an eye it is a new day. When the Paris Stock Exchange was already at work but had not yet officially opened the market, the people of Bright Fund found the relevant departments with the completed equity certificates and related contracts and other materials to apply for equity information disclosure and company suspension. Because Xia Yu had already considered the transaction rules, the time logic for signing the contract was not wrong. When initially acquiring the equity of BNP Paribas, Leo Martin made a private agreement with Le Mir that the time of the transaction contract was temporarily not filled, just for the time. Although there is a suspicion of hitting the side ball, everything shown on the paper is not stepping on the line. Unless Le Mir is willing to expose the matter at the cost of going to jail and paying a huge fine. But is it possible? Although people on the stock exchange were shocked by the shareholding ratio of Bright Fund, after the initial review of the transaction process, it was clear that Bright Fund was the absolute controlling shareholder of Moet Hennessy Wine Group and agreed to the suspension proposed by Bright Fund. Application. This is also true. Before the stock market opened, a piece of information shook the crowd gathered on the exchange and financial institutions collectively. Moet Hennessy Liquor Group suddenly changed hands and was suspended! ! ! Moreover, as soon as Bright Fund was exposed, it was an absolute controlling shareholder, with a shareholding ratio of up to 70%! An authoritative person immediately came out and expressed his opinion that the funds involved will definitely not be less than 5 billion francs! A giant was thrown down on the calm lake, and ripples swelled. Not only investors who hold shares, but also companies in the industry have been affected. The big financial crocodile of Bright Fund suddenly entered the wine market. If it takes advantage of its capital and capabilities, how much impact will it have on other companies in the same field? When the financial market was shaking, Leo Martin personally led the team to Moet Hennessy Wine Group. Although Bright Fund only has the status of an absolute controlling shareholder and is not a director or chairman of the board of directors, as long as the chairman and executive president Alain Chevalier is willing to cooperate, it will be a temporary transition. Faced with 70% of the equity held by Bright Fund, everyone knows that the board of directors is replaced. It is no suspense for Bright Fund to become the owner. No employee or executive is willing to ask questions. Of course, no employees questioned, but it does not mean that the Hennessy family, which has huge ambitions for the Moet Hennessy Wine Group, will be subdued. The meeting room of Moet Hennessy Wine Group. Jill Hennessy, who was notified by Alain Chevalier to come to the meeting, heard the proposal, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes seemed to burn. He objected loudly: "I don''t agree!" "Since those directors have withdrawn, their seats will be vacant. If you want to enter the board of directors, you have to be re-elected by the general meeting of shareholders and cannot be directly replaced! Although the incident happened suddenly, Jill Hennessy maintained some sanity, knowing that the Bright Fund could not be taken away in one go, and he had to delay as much as possible to think of other ways! Gil Hennessy is the vice chairman. Since he disagrees, even if the chairman of Alain Chevalier agrees, there will still be loopholes in the process. The team also analyzed this possibility before coming, so seeing Jill Hennessy disagree, Leo Martin is only a little regretful. He calmly continued: "Our company holds 70% of the equity, you hold 17.5%, and the rest are small shareholders. Both of us have enough equity to hold a general meeting of shareholders." "I propose to hold an extraordinary shareholders meeting in the afternoon!" After Leo Martin finished speaking, a subordinate behind him immediately took out a notice and put it on the table in front of Jill Hennessy. But Jill Hennessy didn''t even look at it, and said straightforwardly: "You can hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, but everything is in accordance with the company''s articles of association." "How can you be sure that there are no shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares?" This is a deliberate mess! The clay figurines have three points, not to mention Leo Martin. He narrowed his eyes, staring directly at Jill Hennessy, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jill Hennessy, you know, our holdings have exceeded two-thirds and the voting rights have also exceeded three-thirds. Second, your equity and voting rights do not pose a threat to us, and we don¡¯t need to be like this." "A quarrel won''t solve any problems!" "We can buy the equity in your family!" "You make a price!" Alain Chevalier also echoed the persuasion at this time: "Mr. Jill Hennessy, the Bright Fund came with sincerity. I personally suggest that you can transfer the equity held by the Hennessy family. With this fund, enough If you own a company that you fully control, you can develop the company according to your development ideas." Gil Hennessy glanced at Alain Chevalier coldly, and did not answer his words. Instead, he looked at Leo Martin blankly and resolutely said: "We will never sell the equity of our family!" Immediately afterwards, he said questioningly: "Mr. Leo Martin, Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group is a listed company. According to the provisions of the financial trading market, equity disclosure is required to reach more than 5%. I don¡¯t know if you are How can we acquire more than 70% of the equity in such a short period of time." "I seriously question the legitimacy of this!" "Even if you now hold 70% of the equity, whether you can continue to hold it depends on whether the law and the China Securities Regulatory Commission approve it!" After speaking, Jill Hennessy gave a cold snort and got up and left. The subordinates behind Leo Martin looked angry and wanted to have a seizure, but seeing Leo Martin sitting blankly, they could only resist not having a seizure. After Jill Hennessy disappeared at the door. Alain Chevalier said to Leo Martin with some concern: "Mr. Leo Martin, depending on the situation, Gil Hennessy is preparing to report the legality of our transaction to the Securities Regulatory Commission." "If the Securities Regulatory Commission intervenes and temporarily suspends our company''s equity change, then we will not be able to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on time, nor will we be able to reshape the board of directors." Leo Martin snorted and said: "Mr. Alain Chevalier, you can rest assured that the boss is very cautious. The previous actions have taken this into account, just to prevent possible unexpected situationsJill ¡¤ Hennessy would report if he wanted to. He would have underestimated the energy of our Bright Fund!" "Excuse me, please arrange it on your behalf. Arrange the extraordinary general meeting and the temporary board of directors to the nearest time in accordance with the company''s articles of association, and notify all remaining shareholders." "Since Jill Hennessy is ignorant at all, then we will act in the second way..." After Leo Martin finished speaking, Alain Chevalier sneered at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said: "I know, I will do these things well." After that, Leo Martin took the people to leave, and Alain Chevalier went out to appease the employees and acted according to Leo Martin''s suggestions. ... After Jill Hennessy left, he immediately reported to the Securities Regulatory Commission as a major shareholder of Moet Hennessy Wine Company, questioned the legality of the acquisition process of Bright Fund, and required the Securities Regulatory Commission to conduct a comprehensive review of the relevant acquisition process to ensure the shareholders¡¯ Legal rights. Because Jill Hennessy brought the reporter to report, the Securities Regulatory Commission immediately accepted it and asked the Paris Stock Exchange to suspend all procedures against Moet Hennessy Wine Company. Any turmoil in the financial industry can be immediately known to the interested people. What''s more, Jill Hennessy made a big fanfare, disguised himself as a victim, and reported it with the intention of making trouble. After the news was exposed, I thought that the dust had settled, and investors and investment institutions who expected the Guangming Foundation to issue a comprehensive takeover offer were once again excited. Is the Bright Fund going to overturn? Can this year''s largest acquisition involving capital of more than 5 billion francs in the French business community succeed? https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1093: Hang the Hennessy family easily Two flowers bloom, one on each table... "Boss, I''m sorry, I didn''t get things done!" "In the conference room of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group, Jill Hennessy was very determined and counter-threatened us. He is likely to report us to the Securities Regulatory Commission..." After returning to the company, Leo Martin immediately reported to Xia Yu and explained everything that happened in detail. Because Leo Martin returned to the company after Jill Hennessy walked away, Jill Hennessy has not yet completed the report. However, according to the attitude of Jill Hennessy in the conference room, Leo Martin seriously doubted that Jill Hennessy would do this. So he came to report to Xia Yu in advance so that he could get vaccinated. After listening to the report, Xia Yu smiled inexplicably at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself in a somewhat mocking tone: "Threat? Report?" "Ha ha¡­¡­" Leo Martin remained silent, waiting for Xia Yu''s instructions. After Xia Yu laughed, he said to Leo Martin: "Since Jill Hennessy chooses to resist, there is no need to ask him to buy it." "If you choose confrontation, you will pay a price!" "If the SFC accepts the report, can you handle it as soon as possible?" Leo Martin thought for a while, nodded heavily and said, "I can handle it!" "Yes, then leave it to you to handle it. If you are unsure, you must inform me as soon as possible!" Xia Yu added and exhorted. "Ok!" ... It was less than half an hour after Leo Martin left. Jill Hennessy¡¯s report to the Securities Regulatory Commission finally happened, and the news went wild. After receiving the news, Leo Martin reported to Xia Yu as soon as possible. Xia Yu didn''t say much, just let Leo Martin deal with it as soon as possible, and then sent him away. But in fact, Jill Hennessy''s struggle still made Xia Yu uncomfortable. This action was named "blitzkrieg" by him, and speed is an important indicator. Although he had the confidence to shoot Jill Hennessy to death, being so tossed by the latter caused him some troubles, which would delay a certain amount of time and affect the progress of his plan. So Jill Hennessy must pay enough! Now that the Moet Hennessy Wine Group is a listed company, he is still subject to some restrictions. After the company is delisted, he must definitely clean up the Hennessy family! ... The progress of the China Securities Regulatory Commission''s review and investigation of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group directly affects whether the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and the subsequent extraordinary board of directors can be held as soon as possible. To this end, Leo Martin mobilized contacts to push the investigation to end as soon as possible, and was also very cooperative with the investigation team. He also followed George Berkeley to support Fran?ois Mitterrand in the election. As the representative of the big money owner, Leo Martin knows many high-level government officials. Furthermore, in the capital market, although the Hennessy family has a certain degree of influence because the company has been listed, it is destined to be inferior to the professional account of Bright Fund. In public opinion, Jill Hennessy has invited the media, hoping to make matters worse and win the sympathy of the community, in order to put pressure on the government. But he underestimated the control of Bright Fund in the media field. Therefore, when many evening papers were issued in the evening, public opinion did not turn to him. Instead, the focus of the comments was "Will Bright Fund, as a large professional financial institution, make such low-level mistakes?" By the next morning, the situation became more apparent. The French newspaper Le Figaro also reported this incident and conducted a detailed analysis from a fair and objective perspective. The lengthy analysis contains several measures that can obtain 70% of the equity in a very short period of time. Although it is very difficult to implement, it also proves that the Bright Fund holds the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. Seventy percent of the equity is likely to meet the requirements. Then it analyzed Jill Hennessy¡¯s reporting stance and motivation, and analyzed a series of Jill Hennessy¡¯s past holdings, showing that he has ideas about the control of the company. This time the report has no clear evidence, just as a shareholder. Reporting is likely to be unwilling, what kind of punishment might be imposed on failure, etc. After reading the report of Le Figaro, many readers have a gloomy impression of Jill Hennessy in their minds, and they are also looking forward to the results of the investigation by the Securities Regulatory Commission on this matter. They want to know whether the entire acquisition process of Bright Fund is legal or not, and if it is legally compliant, how did they accomplish this level! The attention of public opinion forced the Paris Securities Regulatory Commission to speed up the review and investigation progress. In particular, the person in charge of the Securities Regulatory Commission is a member of the French Socialist Party. After receiving notification from a special internal channel, he has a better understanding of what to do. Bright Fund is a reliable one! ! With this greeting, even if the Bright Fund violates some regulations, the China Securities Regulatory Commission may help it cover the past. Not to mention that Xia Yu acted steadily, and there was no trace of violations on paper in the entire acquisition process. The SFC has achieved unprecedented efficiency! Effective enough to surprise the outside world! Only twenty-nine hours have passed from receiving the report to finding out the situation! After the stock market was closed in the afternoon, but before the Securities Regulatory Commission was off work, the Securities Regulatory Commission announced the entire investigation results and conclusions, and replied the results to the informant Jill Hennessy and the informant Guangming Fund. Jill Hennessy looked incredulous when he saw the conclusion that "your report is untrue, the acquisition process of Bright Fund is legal and compliant". Immediately afterwards, when he saw the accompanying administrative punishment imposed by the Securities Regulatory Commission on his false report, the entire popularity almost vomited blood. After calming down, Jill Hennessy felt regret. But it is destined that no one will sympathize with him, the "clown who can''t afford to lose"! When many newspapers under the French Mirror Group reported on the results early the next morning, Gil Hennessy became a clown in the eyes of readers. On the contrary, the name of the Illuminati Foundation resounded in France, and the subsequent positive effects will continue to be shown. ... Time passed extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye was the day when the extraordinary general meeting of Moet Hennessy Wine Group was held. When the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders was held, Jill Hennessy had no face and sent another family member to replace him, mainly to know the specific situation. As for resistance? nonexistent! Can''t resist! The 70% equity and higher voting rights held by Bright Fund are enough to control everything! The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders has become a forum for the Bright Fund, and the company¡¯s board of directors was re-elected The majority of seats are from Bright Fund. Immediately afterwards, an interim board of directors was held, and the board of directors was naturally controlled by Bright Fund. The meeting elected Alain Chevalier as the chairman of the company and appointed the executive president. The vice chairman was appointed by Leo Martin. The position of vice chairman originally belonging to Jill Hennessy was cancelled. The representatives of the Hennessy family kept their faces black all the time, and left angrily after watching the meeting voted to pass the company''s delisting and privatization resolution. After the end of the board of directors, Alain Sheva Flames, as the chairman of Moet Hennessy Wine Group, filed an application for delisting and privatization at the Paris Stock Exchange. The price of privatization was 250 francs per share, which was slightly higher. The real-time stock price of the company before the suspension. Fortunately, Bright Fund first asked the company to apply for a trading suspension on the grounds of insufficient circulating shares. Otherwise, as soon as the delisting repurchase announcement came out, the repurchase price would definitely exceed 300 francs. It''s like now, two hundred and fifty francs per share, just a few francs, which is equivalent to no premium. Although many investors are not reconciled, the operation of the Bright Fund complies with the regulations and they can only accept the plant. According to the resolution of the board of directors, the stock repurchase of the company''s privatization shall be executed by Bright Fund, and the Hennessy family has no right to intervene. Therefore, Jill Hennessy can only watch the Bright Fund continuously acquire the remaining shares of institutions and retail investors. Until... Bright Fund''s shareholding ratio is as high as 82.5%! When the stock repurchase was announced to end, Jill Hennessy, who had been following the news, became nervous subconsciously. If there is no surprise, the Bright Fund will deal with them next! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1094: Lure This morning, Xia Yu was eating breakfast at home, and looked at the resume on the desktop on the left hand side from time to time. This resume was faxed from London early this morning. It is the resume of Peter Monroe, the 26th Governor of Hong Kong who was just appointed to replace MacLehose by the British government yesterday. Yes, the twenty-sixth Governor of Xiangjiang was not Youde in the past life, but another person appeared. Xia Yu is certain that this is affected by his butterfly effect. If nothing else, the new Governor of Hong Kong will arrive in Hong Kong on May 20 this year to succeed MacLehose and formally perform his duties. It is only January 6, 1982, and there are more than five months left. In the resume, Peter Monroe¡¯s life experience and basic information are clearly written. Peter Monroe was born in 1925. He is 57 years old this year. He has 32 years of diplomatic experience. He is an experienced diplomat. Apart from the diplomat who has served in North Africa for nearly ten years, he has 20 The two years were spent in Asia. One of the experiences that attracted Xia Yu''s attention was that from 1958 to 1964, Peter Monroe served as an official in the Auxiliary Department when he was governor of Hong Kong at Berriqui. At the end of the resume, there is an analysis of his personality traits. The most obvious one is that this person is not a nationalist, has no obvious pro-China stance, nor anti-China stance... "Hehe, Margaret Thatcher still considered instability." "It''s not Yode, then it''s up to Argentina to do nothing." "I''m making a lot of noise in France, maybe this old woman has to worry..." ... After breakfast, Xia Yu drove to the company. After arriving at the company, immediately convened the acquisition team for a meeting, first to understand the latest situation, and then assign tasks to start action. After all, the Louis Vuitton Group is a non-listed company. Although the board of directors has been re-elected, the Bright Fund only holds 58.8% of the shares and cannot fully control the board of directors. Generally speaking, for private placement and company merger proposals of non-listed companies, the board of directors proposes to agree more than half, but this is only a general situation. The Vuitton family has introduced investors in the past. In order to keep the family''s control of the Louis Vuitton Group, they have amended the company''s articles of association. Major matters like these require more than two-thirds of the voting rights to pass. Non-listed companies also do not stipulate that one-third of independent directors must be established, and the Louis Vuitton Group does not, so the voting rights of the board of directors are basically equal to the shareholders'' meeting. According to the articles of association of the Louis Vuitton Group of Companies, private placement requires two-thirds of the board of directors'' approval before it can be approved. Therefore, Xia Yu cannot dilute the Vuitton family''s equity through private placement. Nor can it forcefully push the Louis Vuitton Group to merge with the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. Since formal business methods cannot be used, use the weakness of human nature! There are two final resolutions at the meeting. One is Leo Martin, who is responsible for the private placement of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group to dilute the equity of the Hennessy family. Moreover, in order to retaliate against the Hennessy family, the private placement is not based on the previous high market value of close to 6 billion francs of the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group. It is based on the asset situation and the actual asset is 2.1 billion francs. With a capital of 1 billion francs, the only target designated for the additional issuance is the Bright Fund. As long as the private placement is implemented, the shareholding ratio of the Hennessy family will drop from 17.5% to 11.85%, and the shareholding ratio of Bright Fund will increase to 88.15%. . The Hennessy family will lose more than 210 million francs! The second decision was for Xia Yu to personally meet with Henry Ligamir, president of the Louis Vuitton Group. Everything varies from person to person. If you want to talk about dreams with Alain Chevalier, you need to use real benefits with Henry Ligamir! ... After three o''clock in the afternoon, it was the restaurant near the Champs-Elys¨¦es where Alain Chevalier met last time. Xia Yu met Henry Ligamir, a gentleman with golden curly hair and gold-rimmed glasses on his face. After a brief greeting, Xia Yu praised his achievements and dedication in the Louis Vuitton Group. When he was happy, he suddenly talked about the weaknesses of the Louis Vuitton Group. "Mr. Henry Rigamer, although the Louis Vuitton Group is well-known all over the world, but limited by capital, the current market share of luggage is not particularly high." "Moreover, compared with other companies, the business of the Louis Vuitton Group is limited to the luggage field. The border between the fashion and boutique markets is very wide. How long does it take for the Louis Vuitton Group to expand its business?" Faced with the problem suddenly raised by Xia Yu, a major shareholder, Henry Riga Milton was speechless. Just as he struggled to think about how to answer Xia Yu''s question. Xia Yu smiled again and said: "Mr. Henry Rigamir, to start a business from scratch, it not only takes a long time, but also requires a huge amount of capital. If the Louis Vuitton Group can be combined with a powerful large company Merger, then with the resources of another company, the effect will be 1+1>2, what do you think?" This time, if Henry Rigamer did not understand Xia Yu''s purpose, he would not be qualified to be president. What''s more, during this period of time, the Bright Fund was in the limelight, having just privatized the wine giant Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group. Isn''t Xia Yu intending to promote the merger of Moet Hennessy Wine Group and Louis Vuitton Group? With this guess, he forced a stiff smile and asked: "Mr. Xia, which company do you want to merge with the Louis Vuitton Group?" Xia Yu smiled and spit out a name: "Moet Hennessy Wine Group." It really is! After the conjecture was verified, Henry Rigamer¡¯s smile disappeared completely, and he said embarrassedly: ¡°Mr. Xia, the influence of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group is in the wine market, while the Louis Vuitton Group is in the luggage market. The merger of the two companies will not be able to share resources, and it will not produce enough benefits for the Louis Vuitton Group." The reason is so, but in fact it is because the Moet Hennessy Wine Group is too large. At the time of listing, the market value of Moet Hennessy Wine Group reached more than 5.85 billion francs. And what about the Louis Vuitton Group? No one killed two billion francs. If the two companies merge, the Vuitton family¡¯s shareholding ratio will drop by three-quarters to about 10%. Without a veto, the Vuitton family will lose the ability to protect themselves. And his position as the president of the Louis Vuitton Group is estimated to be lost. So whether it is for the benefit of the Vuitton family or for his personal benefit, he will not agree. The company''s long-term interests are not linked to his interests, and he has no need or reason to agree to Xia Yu''s proposal. Xia Yu shook his head slightly and retorted: "Mr. Henry Rigamer, although the main consumers of wine are men and the main consumers of luggage are women, they are mainly aimed at mid- to high-end customer groups, and some of them are connected." But Xia Yu didn''t want to argue too much in this regard. He didn''t wait for Henry Rigamer to express his opinion, and suddenly asked a question that didn''t cross the border. "Mr. Henry Ligamill, I know that you are the son-in-law of the Vuitton family. You have served the Vuitton family for so many years. How do they treat you?" Henry Rigamer''s expression stagnated, then returned to normal, and said vaguely: "The treatment is not bad." Xia Yu smiled faintly and said to himself: "I know that the salary is not bad, but although your wife belongs to the Vuitton family, the equity of this company has nothing to do with you, your wife and son." "Don''t you want to leave something for your children? For example, company equity?" Henry Rigamer shook his heart, his mouth squirmed, but he could not say anything to deny. Because Xia Yu''s words came to his heart. Although he is Henry Vuitton¡¯s son-in-law, he does not have any equity in the company, and because there are many members of the Vuitton family, his wife has five brothers, and the way of inheriting the assets of the Vuitton family is also special. , It is destined that his children are not eligible to inherit part of the assets of the Louis Vuitton Group. But Xia Yu, the current major shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group, suddenly told him about this. How could he not understand? His heart started to move around The temptation is too big! There is a fundamental difference between working for others and becoming a shareholder yourself! Henry Rigamer was right to be silent! This means that he is really moved. Xia Yu didn¡¯t waste any time either. He glanced around and made sure that no one was around. He actually told Henry Rigamer some high-sounding words to convince him: "Mr. Henry Rigamer, Louis Vuitton The merger between the Group and Moet Hennessy Wine Group is a strong alliance that will create greater value." "Even if the equity ratio of the Vuitton family is reduced after the merger, the future price potential will actually be higher. How can the luggage market compare to the wine and luxury goods market?" "You don''t have to waste energy from the Vuitton family, and you can get greater benefits. The benefits to them far outweigh the disadvantages. The only disadvantage is the loss of management rights. But have they handed over the management rights to you soon? " Then Xia Yu immediately threw out the most intuitive benefit: "If you can facilitate the Vuitton family to agree to the merger, then I will give you enough reward." "And the two companies are just resource integration. In fact, they are both subsidiaries of the parent company. After your ability has been proven, I will appoint you as the president of the Vuitton Group." "What do you think?" Henry Ligamir was shocked, and these words of Xia Yu repeated in his mind. For a long time, his personal interests overwhelmed the interests of the Vuitton family. He is also certain about persuading the Vuitton family to agree to the merger, so he can give it a try! He took a deep breath, looked at Xia Yu who was smiling, and said, "Mr. Xia, how much can you give me?" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1095: Amazing merger-LVMH Group! Xia Yu took a sip of coffee and said in a calm and powerful voice, "Mr. Henry Rigamer, I came with sincerity, so I won''t treat you badly, I only offer one price!" Henry Ligamir nodded slightly and did not speak. He continued to watch Xia Yu quietly, but his breathing slowed down subconsciously. "I will give you 50 million francs worth of equity!" Henry Rigamer''s heart relaxed, and then his mind was surrounded by a huge surprise in his heart. It turned out to be an equity worth 50 million francs! If this is placed in the Louis Vuitton Group, it will be able to get more than 2.5% of the equity! He has worked for the Louis Vuitton Group for more than ten years, and his combined salary and bonuses are only 13 million francs! Xia Yu¡¯s compensation was nearly four times his total income over the past ten years! At a certain moment, he subconsciously wanted to get more. But this thought only appeared for a few seconds before being obliterated by his reason. Enough equity for 50 million francs! After all, he is holding equity, not cash, and he prefers equity to cash. After all, equity means dividends and a steady stream of income. Not only that, the Bright Fund obviously has huge ambitions. After the merger of the Louis Vuitton Group and the Moet Hennessy Wine Group, the future will only be brighter. The company''s potential is very large. In the future, the equity will only become more valuable. He is foolish. Will ask for cash. He would not arrogantly think that his investment ability would be stronger than Bright Fund! Moreover, after accepting this shareholding, he will eat with Xia Yu in the future. Equity worth 50 million francs will not occupy much of the combined company. Instead of being too greedy, Xia Yu feels uncomfortable and enters. After the company, Xia Yu had a way to clean up his small shareholder. Countless history proves a truth, small shareholders can never fight against absolute controlling shareholders! Just accept it if you see it! Anyway, this price is not low! Exceeded his expectations! After making up his mind, Henry Rigamer changed his mind. He took the initiative to lower his posture, showing gratitude, and said to Xia Yu enthusiastically: "Mr. Xia, I accept your terms." Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "Henri Ligamir, happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" The two said and shook hands. Now that it has been negotiated, there is no need for Xia Yu to waste time. He bluntly said: "Henry Rigamer, within about this week, the Moet Hennessy Wine Group will issue a merger application to the Louis Vuitton Group. You must make the most of your time and think about how to convince the Vuitton family as soon as possible. " "If there is any need for the cooperation of the Bright Fund, it can be mentioned in advance, and it is convenient for me to arrange in advance." "Okay, I will do my best!" Henry Ligamir nodded and said. "I''m waiting for your good news!" Xia Yu said with a light smile. ... In the next few days, Leo Martin once again convened the board of directors of Moet Hennessy Wine Group. Amidst the incompetence of Jill Hennessy, he voted to pass the resolution on private placement. After the board of directors was opened, the general meeting of shareholders was convened immediately. Jill Hennessy, who had already known that it could not be stopped, directly refused to participate, so the shareholder meeting passed 100% of the vote, and a situation was taken to ensure that the process was legal and compliant. The current version of the French "Corporate Management Law" does not require the approval of the Securities Regulatory Commission for private placement of non-listed companies. Therefore, after the general meeting of shareholders agrees, the resolution can be directly implemented. The billion francs of the Bright Fund were already prepared, and immediately transferred to the company account of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group, and then the president Alain Chevalier arranged for his subordinates to go through the procedures for additional stock issuance. Jill Hennessy could only watch angrily as his family¡¯s shareholding ratio fell to 11.85%. This is not over yet. The acquisition team of the Bright Fund once again came to buy the equity held by the Vuitton family, and the attitude was very tough, completely intimidating, and there was no inducement at all. When the company was listed, they held up to 17.5% of the equity. Even if it was transferred at a fair price, they were all worth more than 1.02 billion francs. If it comes to an ordinary premium of 30%, it can be worth it. More than 1,330 million francs. But now? If based on the previous market value of more than 5.85 billion francs, plus the 1 billion francs raised by the Bright Fund, the company is worth more than 6.85 billion francs, and the equity held by their family is also worth eight. One hundred and one hundred watt francs. If calculated based on the company¡¯s assets in the newly issued private placement, it would be cheaper, only worth more than 367 million francs. This gap is huge! And what is the current price of Bright Fund? Four hundred million francs! ! ! Jill Hennessy almost fainted when he heard the price. The acquisition team of the Bright Fund also threatened that if the Hennessy family refused to sell it, then the Bright Fund would continue to dilute the company, and there were ways to make them regret it. In desperation, there were several meetings within the Hennessy family. No matter how it was analyzed, the result was that they were not qualified to fight the Bright Fund, and the consequences would become more and more serious. Instead of putting the capital here, it is better to cut your wrists and sell the equity and work hard again. During the second negotiation of the Bright Fund, after fierce confrontation, the Bright Fund finally raised the price of 600 million francs and stopped letting go. The Hennessy family could only reluctantly agree. January 12. As expected, Bright Fund acquired 11.85% of the shares held by the Hennessy family for 600 million francs. Moet Hennessy Wine Group is finally wholly-owned by Bright Fund! There was also a small episode that afternoon. Alain Chevalier, who was closely following the movements of the Hennessy family, learned that the Hennessy family actually wanted to tell the Fervo family to resign. He immediately issued a warning to the Hennessy family and at the same time let the light shine. The fund also issued a warning later. On the other hand, he also individually approached Yan Fervo, the head of the Fervo family, to do ideological work, and he also raised their salary and signed a more stringent contract. The Fervo family is really reluctant to leave the family to create a two-hundred-year-old Hennessy brandy, and the blending skills inherited by their family are bundled with the Hennessy brandy. The blending skills and formulas of the wine belong to the company. It can''t be taken away. If they leave the Hennessy Brandy Company, most of the deployment skills of all members of their entire family will be abolished. Yan Felvo recognized the situation. Therefore, the Hennessy family and the Fairvo family, who had worked closely together for two hundred years, announced that they had broken up, and they would eat together with the Bright Fund. On the second day that Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group was wholly-owned, it was January 13th. Moet Hennessy Wines Group issued a merger application to the Louis Vuitton Group, and the company''s president Henry Rigamer immediately convened a board of directors. At the meeting, Bright Fund, which is the relatively controlling shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group, directly agreed and demonstrated the bright prospects after the merger. The Vuitton family expressed opposition, and the first board meeting ended without a problem. In addition to the Vuitton family, whether it is Leo Martin or Henry Rigamer, this time the board of directors also takes a form, the purpose is not to arouse the Vuitton family''s suspicion. Then Henry Ligamir began to analyze the pros and cons with the Vuitton family, and the Bright Fund from time to time coerced and coaxed to the side to create pressure on the Vuitton family. Under Henry Rigamer''s constant persuasion and flicker, the Vuitton family was finally persuaded. Then there is the price. After many negotiations and consultations, it was finally agreed that the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group would value 6.9 billion francs and the Louis Vuitton Group would value 1.9 billion francs. On January 18th, the Louis Vuitton Group¡¯s board of directors passed 100% of the resolutions passed by the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group and the Louis Vuitton Group, and then a symbolic general meeting of shareholders was held in the same meeting room, with the same 100% vote. by. On January 20, Moet Hennessy Wine Group and Louis Vuitton Group completed a series of equity-related changes such as the company''s business license, organization code, and national tax registration certificate. The assets of the two companies belong to the newly registered Mo?t Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group. The company name is abbreviated as the French LVMH Group. The shares of the original shareholders are redistributedThe registered shares of the group are 100 million shares. Bright Fund is the largest shareholder, holding 91.1 million shares, accounting for 91.1% of the total share capital. The Vuitton family, the second largest shareholder, holds 8.9 million shares. Occupies 8.9% of the total share capital. Of course, the 50 million francs worth of equity that Xia Yu promised to Henry Rigamir was secretly handled, and it had been privately transferred to an offshore company in advance, with a total of 568,000 shares. As for Henry When Ligamir was exposed, that was his business. So in fact, the shareholding ratio of Bright Fund is 90.53%. It doesn¡¯t care if Xia Yu is missing. Anyway, it has successfully acquired the ninety greatest gains of the Louis Vuitton Group. If BNP Paribas is the acquisition, even if it succeeds, he will spend several hundred million francs more, and BNP Paribas has to Withdraw a commission of at least 50 million francs! The price is much smaller than just 50 million francs to Henry Ligamir! In this situation, he has actually earned it! On the morning of January 21, the headline of the "Ferrero newspaper" reported the news that Mo?t Hennessy Wines Group and Louis Vuitton Group merged into the French LVHM Group, and the merger was named "the largest in Europe in 1982." Commercial M&A"! The whole of France was shaken! The aftermath spread to all of Europe! In just over a month, the name of the Bright Fund, which successfully completed this merger and acquisition, was once again mentioned by countless media, and its reputation and prestige continued to skyrocket. After the exposure, Xia Yu received a lot of congratulations, including French President Fran?ois Mitterrand. v3 Chapter 1096: 13 billion francs support! "Tuk tuk!" "Come in!" Xia Yu, who was looking at a magazine in his hand with interest, heard a knock on the door and said without raising his head. When he noticed from the sound of footsteps that the person had walked not far in front of him, Xia Yu raised his head and found that the person was Leo Martin. "Leo, what''s the matter?" Xia Yu put down the magazine in his hand, smiled slightly, and asked kindly. "Boss, I want to ask you about one thing." "I just came back from the lvmh group, and Alain Chevalier suggested something to me. I think you need to make a decision on this matter." Leo Martin said truthfully. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, curious about what would happen to Alain Chevalier, who is now busy integrating the two companies. He smiled and said: "Let''s talk!" Leo Martin said immediately: "Boss, Alain Chevalier said that you talked to him about the development plan of the group. Now the lvmh group has a strong business in the wine market and the luggage market. After integrating resources, business development The growth rate will increase a bit, but because the business has developed to a certain degree, the most important thing is to make progress while maintaining stability." "So he wants to find a fulcrum for the rapid growth of the group''s revenue in the perfume market." Hearing this, Xia Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Did he mention the Bussack Group?" Leo Martin was taken aback, suppressing the doubts in his heart, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes!" Then explained the situation in detail: "Alain Chevalier proposed to let the lvmh group buy the perfume department of the Busac group." "Originally, Mo?t Hennessy Liquor Group was the main distributor of the Bussac Group''s perfume brands, and they knew the Bussac Group''s perfume brands very well. "Now the merged Vuitton Group owns 64 more stores, and a large part of the customers in the Gorge luggage market and the perfume market overlap. He is planning to let the perfume sales department of the lvmh group and Louis Vuitton''s The sales department is integrated, and it is estimated that the sales of perfume will increase significantly. If the perfume department of the Bussac Group is acquired, it can greatly reduce costs and adjust production and sales in time." Xia Yu smiled and said very simply, "I agree!" Leo Martin didn''t expect the boss Xia Yu to be so swift, and simply let him be speechless for a while. However, he immediately reacted and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, shall we start arranging the acquisition plan now?" Xia Yu did not immediately agree. He thought for a while and asked: "Leo, do you have any information about the Busac Group?" Leo Martin said without hesitation: "I remember that there is. I have collected information on the entire financial market before. The Bussac Group is a listed company. It is reasonable to say that it is impossible not to collect the information. Should I get it now?" "Go get it!" As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Leo Martin pleaded guilty and left Xia Yu''s office. In about fifteen minutes, he hurriedly returned to the office, with an additional document in his hand. "Boss, I have brought the information of the Bussack Group, please have a look!" After speaking, Leo Martin handed the information to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu took it over. Before Xia Yu saw it, Leo Martin also added: "Boss, the information was collected last month, but I just modified the market value and disclosed shareholding structure of the Bussac Group, and most of the other information It was last month." "Ok!" Xia Yu gave a light hum, and did not comment, and flipped through the materials of the Busac Group. The Bussac Group is a large-scale listed company in the textile sector in France. Its main business is the production of ready-made garments, OEM of clothing brands, home textile production, chemical fiber raw material processing, etc. The entire group has more than 30,000 employees. It''s just that these 30,000 employees are not good employees. They are dissatisfied with the company''s treatment and benefits. The employee union is making trouble, so the market value of the Bussac Group has been greatly affected. Of course, employees'' troubles and strikes are not the main reason for the decline in the company''s market value, at best it is just a booster. The real reason is that the company''s revenue and profits have problems, which has caused the capital market to look down on the Bussac Group collectively. The Bussac Group¡¯s total assets are now 5 billion francs, but its liabilities are as high as 3.6 billion francs, while the group¡¯s market value has fallen to more than 620 million francs, which is shrinking from its peak market value in previous years. More than nine out of ten! So in fact, the Bussac Group is a large listed company with a market value lower than its net assets, and its value is underestimated! However, considering the benefits and regular wages of more than 30,000 employees, the Bussac Group¡¯s revenue last year was a net loss of 183 million francs. Coupled with high debts, the Bussac Group¡¯s prospects are very bleak. . It can be said that the Bussac Group is on the verge of bankruptcy! It is justified that the market value is lower than the net assets! This information stimulated Xia Yu''s memory. He vaguely recalled that the Bussac Group did indeed go bankrupt. It was the French government who came forward to take over and find someone to take over, and finally Bernard Al, who was later known as the "Napoleon of the fashion industry" Connaught took over the order at a price of 400 million francs and squeezed all the value of the Busac Group, increasing its capital by nearly ten times, which made it possible to acquire the Mo?t Hennessy Wine Group and Vuitton Group later. Now that the lvmh group of Berna Arnault has been cut off, and the Bussac group on which he started up is simply eliminated in advance, maybe the lvmh group will lose a strong competitor in the future. What''s more, the acquisition of the Bussac Group is indeed profitable as long as it is properly operated! Bernard Arnault, a non-financial person, has obtained ten times the income through capital operation. There is no reason that a professional account such as the Bright Fund will operate worse than him! Even if the Bright Fund abandons the acquisition halfway, it can still acquire perfume brands such as Dior, Labs and Roc, which is also excellent. "Boom...boom...boom..." Xia Yu fell into contemplation unconsciously, thinking about how to maximize the benefits. While he was thinking, the **** knuckles rhythmically tapped the tabletop to make noise. Leo Martin remained patient and waited quietly. a long time. Xia Yu recovered. He looked at Leo Martin and decisively ordered: "Leo, the bussac group is now worth less than its net assets. Although it is losing money, it also has a very high acquisition value." "You have people to make a complete plan. The first step is to suppress the Bussac Group''s stock price as soon as possible, and then purchase and delist the Bussac Group as a wholly-owned company. "After the delisting, the perfume department was immediately spun off to the lvmh group. As for other assets, you let the team split and sell from the perspective of maximizing profit according to the situation. As long as you find the company that needs it most, you can definitely make a fortune. Income." Xia Yu was so blunt, Leo Martin subconsciously appeared in several ways of operation. If it is implemented smoothly as the boss said, he is 80% sure to make more than 3 billion francs in profit! If you are lucky, it is not impossible to make four or five billion francs. After all, the Bussac Group is a giant in the textile industry. It has more than 30,000 employees. Its market value exceeded 8 billion francs at its peak. Even if it declines for several consecutive years, it is impossible to lose its accumulated heritage for hundreds of years. Light! The acquisition and integration of the lvmh group has greatly increased the strength of the Bright Fund. This kind of big action has also made him addicted. Although the actions of the Bussac group are much simpler and relatively small in scale, it is also a very worthwhile project. . With excitement, he responded loudly: "Boss, I will make this plan right away." Seeing Leo Martin''s impatient expression, Xia Yu felt a little funny. Just about to send him away, Xia Yu suddenly thought of something. He took out from the drawer a list he just made last night, handed it to Leo Martin, and once again ordered: "Leo, in addition to buying the Busac Group, you are arranging for someone to secretly buy this For the stocks of companies listed on the list, and for companies that are not listed, you should collect data and make preliminary acquisition plans." After Leo Martin took it, he glanced, his eyes lit up several times, and his already excited mood became more and more surging. The boss gave him surprises one after another. Fortunately, his heart is strong, and it is possible for ordinary people to pass out excitedly. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said softly: "Leo, I will let another five billion francs into the company¡¯s bank account in BNP Paribas. You have to make full use of Le Mire¡¯s relationship. Looking at these francs and previous cooperation, his attitude will be more positive." "It''s no surprise that these five billion francs are the last sum of money that was sent to the company''s account this year. You must make the most of it!" Leo Martin, who had received another five billion francs of funding from his boss, was very surprised, but then he learned that it was the last one of the year, and he subconsciously felt a sense of regret. However, after thinking about it, the boss has injected 8 billion francs into the company several times since he came to France. With the 5 billion francs promised now, the total amount will be as high as 13 billion francs! The capital injected by the boss alone has doubled the company''s total assets! What''s more, these funds are self-owned capital. Their Bright Fund is a financial company. They have such a large amount of capital, enough to leverage a larger amount of capital. As a subordinate, he must also make full use of the resources of other banks to create more for the boss. the value of. He took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and said, "Boss, I will make full use of this fund, please rest assured!" "Ok!" "Go!" After speaking, Xia Yu waved his hand, then picked up the magazine in his hand and read it again. Leo Martin got up and glanced at the magazine in Xia Yu''s hands subconsciously. The key words on the cover aroused his curiosity. "Economic Weekly"? "Global Rich List"? When did Paris have such a magazine? Why doesn''t he know? With doubts, Leo Martin left the office... https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1097: "Economic Global Rich List" What Xia Yu was reading was the "Economic Weekly" magazine under the Jiuding News Group, and it was still an unpublished incomplete edition. This is Yan Wenhan''s urgent air shipment from Xiangjiang. The main purpose is to let him review the two lists. Two lists, "Economic Global Rich List" and "Top 500 Companies in the World"! Relying on the powerful global editorial network of Jiuding News Agency, these two lists are truly global lists, not the pseudo-global lists of Forbes and Fortune magazines. Yan Wenhan once reported the situation to Xia Yu. In the "Rich List", their "Economic Weekly" opened the first, and then after a year, "Forbes" began to follow up and launched the US Rich List. Only expanded to North America. The "Top 500 Companies" list was not the first of the "Business Weekly". The American "Fortune" magazine created it in 1955, but only American companies were on the list. It was not until 1976 that "Fortune" magazine launched the first international 500 list, but it also excluded the United States, that is, only included companies outside the United States. So nowadays, there is no real "Top 500 Companies in the World" rankings. Unless Fortune magazine perfectly integrates their domestic and international lists, this is the fastest way! But no integration means no integration! Therefore, there is no real global rich list and corporate ranking in the world. This means that once the "Economic Weekly" publishes the two lists, there will be a great possibility of attracting worldwide acclaim. Of course, under the enthusiasm, there will also be endless doubts, which is inevitable. Therefore, Yan Wenhan sent this unlived magazine to Xia Yu for two purposes. The first purpose is to hope that Xia Yu can review it, especially with regard to Xia Yu''s own ranking on the list, and the ranking of Jiuding companies, whether to adjust it. The second purpose is the most important, that is, I hope that Xia Yu can authorize him so that he can mobilize the resources of the Jiuding Consortium to promote it globally, and make "Economic Weekly" a hit! No way, the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Group is mainly concentrated in Asia and North America. In recent years, Yan Wenhan has also acquired some newspapers in South America and Oceania, so the coverage is also good. All the paper media companies of the Jiuding Consortium in the United States are directly controlled by the American branch of the Jiuding Newspaper Group, but CNN is under the Polaris Capital Corporation. CNN and Jiuding Newspaper Group are only a cooperative relationship and do not have cross-shareholding. In Europe, the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Group is even weaker. Except for the Times Newspaper Holdings Limited in the UK, there are not many newspapers in other European countries. The most important media forces of the Jiuding Consortium in Europe are in companies such as the Mirror Group and the Financial Times Group under the Bright Fund. Although Yan Wenhan knew George Berkeley, he couldn¡¯t get George Berkeley to assist him. After all, although both of them were under Xia Yu¡¯s direct management, the Bright Fund was independent of Europe, George Berkeley¡¯s freedom and rights, and The resources under his control are above him. Therefore, the best way is for chairman Xia Yu to come forward and dispatch. ... "Fortune" the world''s top 500 companies are just conventions and colloquial terms, the normative term is "the world''s largest 500 companies", focusing on "big". The reason is that "Fortune" magazine generally selects the operating income of companies in each fiscal year as the ranking basis, and the scale is the most important. Therefore, the "Fortune" Global 500 actually refers to the 500 largest companies in the world. And now Xia Yu''s "Economic Weekly" of the world''s top 500 companies are consistent with the selection criteria of the later "Forbes", the selection is no longer one-sided limited to large turnover. It is the world¡¯s largest and most powerful listed company based on the four major indicators of revenue, profit, assets and market value. The list uses a comprehensive score. In future generations, Fortune, Forbes, Financial Times, and Business Week are all working on the global corporate rankings. The selection criteria of the four companies are different, and the latter two focus on market value. However, Xia Yu still recognizes Forbes the most. This is determined by his current perspective. If a company wants to be a century-old store, it really needs to be strong in all aspects, not just the momentary market value and the strong turnover and no. It is most unreliable if it is ranked purely by market value, because market value changes in real time, and limitations determine that it is difficult to truly reflect the situation of global companies, and financial institutions themselves can watch the stock market in real time... After reading the list of ¡°Top 500 Companies in the World¡± by Economic Weekly, Xia Yu expressed his approval that his own company was selected according to the criteria of seeking truth from facts. After all, as long as the ¡°Top 500 Companies in the World¡± caused a sensation, The above ranking is the company''s best business card. When talking about business, when this name comes out, it can definitely make people subconsciously convinced. This has been tested by later generations. Moreover, the world''s top 500 companies do not need to disclose the controller, and it will not reveal that he is the master behind the listed companies of the Jiuding Consortium. On the contrary, the "Economic Global Rich List" is different, and it will cause a lot of trouble after going up. The "Economic Global Rich List" is not like the "Forbes Rich List" that has a variable number of people every year, but from the beginning it is clear that there are 500 people. Interestingly, among the top five, the top four are all from the Middle East. They are the Saudi royal family of 117 billion U.S. dollars, the Al Nahyan family of the UAE, the UAE¡¯s UAE¡¯s 610 billion U.S. dollars, and the Kuwaiti royal family Sa The Bach family is 42 billion U.S. dollars, and the Al Thani family of Qatar is 382.2 billion U.S. dollars. These four royal families, apart from the Kuwaiti royal family who likes to keep a low profile, will most likely have opinions at that time, the other three royal families do not know what a low profile is, and are the most popular in the limelight. It has happened that the international crude oil prices have remained high in recent years. It is most suitable for them to gather fire on the cusp of the storm! In particular, the Saudi family''s assets of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars for the first time on the list can definitely attract everyone''s attention and detonate the popularity of Economic Weekly. As for those at the helm of the real big consortiums, such as the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family, the Morgan family, the Mellon family, and the Mitsubishi family, none of this list shows up. This is a clear requirement from Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan. The family is not like the nouveau riche in the Middle East. If all were exposed by Xia Yu, Xia Yu would become a thorn in everyone''s eyes! "Economic Global Rich List" can be used as a deterrent to expose a certain family at special times, but it is not necessary now! Exposing them all is even more stupid! However, on the list, Xia Yu saw himself. With a net worth of 800 million US dollars, he ranked 188th in the world! After reading the list several times, Xia Yu found that because of the collapse of the Xiangjiang stock market, his value of 800 million US dollars was still ranked first in Hong Kong, slightly higher than the second place Bao Yugang''s 750 million US dollars. The reason why it is so low is also because as the strength of each company of the Jiuding Consortium continues to expand, Xia Yu has successively carried out shareholding hiding. Although he still bears the name of the chairman of each company, his shareholding ratio is pitiful. Bao Yugang''s worth has also been deliberately hidden a lot, Xia Yu did not intend to cheat the old bag. The tycoons of Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia would definitely not believe this value, but for the middle and lower-class people, they can fool the vast majority, that''s enough! "Economic Global Rich List" mainly attracts people who eat melons, while "Top 500 Companies in the World" attracts the elite, both of which are enough to cover the user group! After confirmation, Xia Yu walked into the back compartment and dialed the office number of Yan Wenhan through his satellite phone. The three communication satellite signals of his Jiuding Consortium have been networked enough to cover the world. For the sake of confidentiality, he has installed secret satellite phones in various companies around the world to prevent various global intelligence organizations, especially The KGB and the old gangster in America. "Dudu..." "Hey, Wenhan, it''s me. I read the list, so let''s do it... Is it print volume? What is the weekly circulation of Economic Weekly?" "..." "Two million four hundred and thirty thousand copies... Then this time the first batch of 1 million copies was printed globally, four million copies in the US market, and three million copies in the European market. South America and Oceania each have 500,000 copies, and the remaining 2 million copies are in Asia. In order to improve efficiency, you send the finalized copies to various regions and use the local printing plants of your own brothers to print..." "You can count the global sales at any time. If you can¡¯t sell it, you will give it away for free in the last two days. However, I will let all media companies fully cooperate. It is estimated that with the group¡¯s global media resources, sales should create a Amazing numbers. You need to deploy the group¡¯s global printing resources, print and replenish in time, and there must be no mistakes. Let Gavin Peter arrange the Guinness World Records certification team for certification and create a world record for secondary promotion... ¡­" "Patter!" After talking on the phone with Yan Wenhan for more than ten minutes, Xia Yu hung up, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a wave of expectation rose in his heart. His "Economic Weekly" is different from "Forbes", which created a weekly circulation of more than four million when it first released the US rich list. But his media coverage is all over the world, and the publicity resources he can mobilize far exceed those of Forbes. Therefore, he has nine levels of assurance that this time, the weekly sales of Economic Weekly tops the world. As for whether it can reach 10 million copies, Even more than ten million copies, wait and see! "Is it released globally on February 1... There are still ten days left, and it''s almost..." PS: Don''t think the sales are outrageous. There were still a lot of magazines with a monthly circulation of 20 to 30 million in that era, which will be mentioned later. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1098: The Rohill Family Rally! While Xia Yu continued to lay a solid foundation in Paris, something he expected happened in London. Lohill Family Castle, London. This time, it was no longer just three cousins ??of Jacob Roshir, Evelyn Roshir, and Leopold Roshir discussing together. In the huge living room, there were six people sitting. Except for the only one with white hair and wrinkles, who looked at least 70 years old, most of the other five were in their 40s or 50s. They are the uncles of everyone sitting here, Guy Rohill, the former head of the French branch of the Rohill family, and David Rohill, the nephew, who is sitting next to him. And Liszt Rohill from Vienna, Austria. Elro Rohill from Frankfurt, West Germany. Harry Rohill from Switzerland. Sidney Lowhill from Naples, Italy. The nine people sitting here can be said to be the core figures of the Rohill family in Europe, and each of them is a character calling for the wind and rain in their respective territory. Of course, if a missile strikes now, the Rothschild family can almost cut off the inheritance, and maybe it will be swallowed up by those ancient families in Europe in a few years. "Will Harris not come?" Harry Rohill looked at the head of the house, Jacob Rohill, and asked. Others heard the inquiry and cast their eyes on Jacob Roshir. Jacob Rohill shook his head as usual and said: "Rockefeller and Morgan have a lot of moves, and now the struggle is more intense. Harris told me that he can''t come. He wants to try if he can find some opportunities. !" Elro Rohill shrugged, and said mockingly: "Harris still likes to fight alone. Although I admit that he is very capable, he still underestimates David Rockefeller and Old Morgan. Proud psychology can''t see through the thoughts of these two old foxes." "After spending so many years in the U.S., he seems to have forgotten that the most important thing for the Rohill family is unity!" "If it were not for unity, we had faced their encirclement and suppression, how could we stand up again!" "Well, Elro, you say less." Guy Rohill, the oldest, said in an old voice. The head Jacob Rohill also said: "Elro, Harris is proud, but over the years, he has not lived up to our expectations, and it has indeed allowed our family to regain a firm foothold in North America. Now the situation should be better. If the situation is bad, he will contact us." "Let''s stop talking about him, can you talk about each other''s situation first?" "Ello, let''s start in Switzerland!" Seeing that the headmaster had spoken, Elro Roshir didn''t entangle him anymore. After all, they were all a family. He was just a little unhappy with Harris Roshir''s arrogant posture. "The situation in Switzerland is pretty good..." "The situation here in Austria is similar to the past. The stock market is relatively active. For us..." "Italy¡­¡­" After Elro Roshir finished speaking, everyone else consciously took over and talked about the status quo and problems faced by the area they were responsible for. However, there are relatively few problems. After all, there is no need to say that small problems can be solved by themselves, and there are few big problems. This situation is almost the same as that of Jacob Lowhill. The reason for everyone to introduce the situation is that the heads of the various branches of these families can know the current situation of the entire family through other people''s introductions. When the heads of the four branches of West Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland finished speaking. Evelyn Lowhill also talked about the situation as the British line. He said that there are many results. After all, the United Kingdom is already in the process of privatizing state-owned enterprises. With the strength of the Rohill family, many benefits have been gained. , The strength has grown a lot. After he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes on Guy Roshir and David Roshir. They all heard about the situation in France, and probably guessed it before they came. The main problem with this encounter was still in the French line. "Uncle Guy, David, can you please tell me about the situation in France? Let''s discuss what to do." After Jacob Rohill finished speaking. David Rohill looked at Guy Rohill next to him, and when he saw his uncle nodding to him, he did not refuse, took a deep breath, and spoke with a heavy face. "The situation on our side is very bad, it can be said that it has reached the most dangerous point." With just such a sentence, everyone sitting here frowned, and all of them were energetic. Because Germany was split into two countries after World War II, it has always been the center of the struggle between the United States and Europe and the Red Soviet Union, and the remaining poison of the virus still exists, which is not suitable for the Rohill family to build another fulcrum for the European continent. Therefore, after discussing with the previous generation of the family, they decided to establish a foundation in France and sent a few families. And the young and wealthy Guy Rohill was responsible for the construction. With the support of the family and the careful management of Guy Rohill, the French branch has lived up to expectations. It was the fastest to recover after World War II, and its strength was also swelling. It can be said that the family is second only to the future. One of the damaged British branch and the Swiss branch that was successfully transferred. If there is another big problem, the family will definitely be hit hard, and part of the prestige that has finally been restored with concerted efforts will be hit again! David Lowhill continued to say in a low tone: "Fran?ois Mitterrand¡¯s unexpected rise to power is beyond our control, and his Socialist Party¡¯s control of the French government is amazing, even though he is pushing for nationalization. After the reform, there was a lot of resistance, and he still pushed forward hard." "According to Fran?ois Mitterrand''s original intention, it was to prepare for an indiscriminate attack, but the French malignant tumors thought of a temporary escape method, and also managed Fran?ois Mitterrand Their banks were nationalized, but they were able to get huge compensations, and family members remained in their respective banks." "They chose to bow their heads temporarily, waiting for Fran?ois Mitterrand''s nationalization reform to fail, and then they can regain control of their respective banks." "but!" "The three families of the Bourbon family, the Orleans family and the Bonaparte family have once again unified their positions in dealing with us. They are ready to use this opportunity to wipe out the power of us, Rockefeller and Morgan in France, and the focus is still on On our family!" "I already know their plan. They are going to let the government nationalize our Edmund Lowhill Bank, and even take the name of the bank, and no longer give us the Lowhill family banking license! " "They want to completely prevent us from entering France!" "Not only that, the French government also intends to fully nationalize the Rh?ne-Planck Chemical Group and the Thomson Group. Our family has a lot of equity in these two companies. These two companies are our family¡¯s industrial in France. An important fulcrum in the field, if they succeed, the fruits of our decades of struggle will be taken away by them!" "We have resisted once, and directly found Fran?ois Mitterrand, but he is very determined and will not give us a chance at all!" Speaking of this, David Rohill clenched his teeth, bruised his face, and he was extremely angry! And under the cover of anger, it is helpless, helpless and hesitant! If it weren''t for the end of the world, why did he come to England with his uncle, who has been recuperating at home and retired to the second line, and asked Jacob Rohill to summon the members of the entire family to discuss a solution? https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1099: Finally shines the sword to the Rohir family After listening to David Rohill''s narration, the faces of everyone present became very solemn. The Lohill family''s situation in France has indeed reached the most dangerous point! At this time, Guy Lohill suddenly said in an old voice slowly: "Now we have not lost the last chance to resist, we still have some time. Although this time we will definitely lose a lot, but before the last moment, You still have to find a way to preserve your strength as much as possible, even if you only save a fire in the end!" "Our family has come through the bigger crisis before, and now it''s only the problem in France. I believe we will be able to survive this crisis!" All the people present nodded their heads, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall was slightly relaxed. "If according to David''s statement, the Bourbon, Orleans and Bonaparte families have temporarily put aside their competition and reached an agreement on the issue of dealing with our family, then our allies in France will certainly not be able to stop it." "Our power and contacts are not in France. Even if we ask people from other countries to help, it will not have much effect, and the cost will never be low, and there is still a huge secondary risk." "I think our only way is to start at the level of the French government, especially President Francois Mitterrand!" "The policy of nationalization of enterprises is dominated by him. If he can overwhelm the Bourbon and other families, he will definitely open the channel of life for us!" Liszt Lowhill pushed his glasses, squinted and analyzed. David Rohill sighed, shook his head and said: "We have tried it, but Fran?ois Mitterrand''s attitude is perfunctory, and he does not want to have another relationship with Bourbon and Bonaparte because of our family. Disagreement." "Now his Socialist Party has very strong control over the French political arena, and other parties can''t pose a threat to him at all, so the bargaining chips we can now cannot move him!" "Even if we agreed to his privatization, but only hoped to keep the name of Edmund Lowhill Bank and obtain a banking license again, he would not agree!" Sidney Rohill frowned after thinking for a moment and suggested, "Is money useless?" David Lowhill shook his head and said: "He doesn''t talk to us about money at all. He should understand that families such as Bourbon and Bonaparte, as well as other political parties are staring at him, so he is worried that there will be huge Political risk." ... As everyone continued to suggest and analyze, the opinions of the last nine people were unified. First and foremost, part of the equity of Thomson Group and Rhone Planck Chemical Group, which is more important, cannot be kept. These two giant industrial companies will definitely be nationalized by the French government. But we can''t just sit back and watch, so two plans were discussed. The first plan is to see whether the equity can be transferred to another person to take over in a short time. The second plan is to supplement, if no one takes the order, then you must get back as much compensation as possible from the French government. Then there is Edmond Rothschild Bank, the backbone of the family in France, to do everything possible to preserve it. If it can¡¯t be kept, then the bottom line is to keep the ownership of the name and keep a bank license. After World War II, it took a huge price to get Rohill Bank to re-enter France. If it was driven out this time, it would have to re-enter the next time. At that time, it will be difficult and will have to pay a huge price. It is a huge strategic victory to be able to keep the ownership of the name and the bank license now, and it can also keep a fig leaf for the family. Otherwise, if it is completely cleaned up, the Roshill family will be swept away, and other families in Europe will also have some thoughts that they shouldn''t have! By then, the family will have one after another trouble! "Uncle Guy, David, the French side still needs you to fight for the Lord. I will coordinate in the middle and mobilize family resources to give you full support!" After Jacob Rohill finished speaking, he looked at other people, his expression became solemn, and said: "And everyone, after going back, we must be more vigilant and increase infiltration into the political field." "Although all countries are wary of us, this is not the reason why we gave up political influence. What is happening in France has already sounded the alarm for us!" "The UK is now undergoing privatization reforms. This is a very good phenomenon, but France is taking the lead in nationalization reforms. Other European countries are watching. We absolutely must avoid other countries from following France. This is the biggest political risk. !" After listening, everyone nodded gravely. ... After the meeting, everyone hurried back to their territories. Especially Guy Rohill and David Rohill, after returning home, immediately convened family members and think tanks in France to discuss. Then on January 23, he visited Fran?ois Mitterrand again in private, but the result of the visit disappointed them. After Guy Rohill and others left, Fran?ois Mitterrand picked up the encrypted phone and called Xia Yu who was reading at home, telling Xia Yu that the time was ripe and the time to operate was no longer That''s too much, and it will be completely settled in half a month! Therefore, on the morning of January 24, Xia Yu asked Leo Martin to vote for Edmund Lowhill Bank in the name of the Bright Fund. The visitor was Guy Lowhill! Guy Rohill was very surprised when he received the greeting from the Guangming Fund, but he also knew that Xia Yu was behind the Guangming Fund, and during this time, the Guangming Fund happened to make a big news in France. Although he didn''t know what he was visiting, Guy Rosier solemnly replied to the Bright Fund and set the location of the meeting in Paris, France, to show his importance. At 3 o''clock in the afternoon on January 25th, Xia Yu, with Li Wuming and other bodyguards, arrived at the luxurious manor of the Rohill family in Paris on time! "Mr. Xia, you are welcome!" "I''m David Lowhill, nice to meet you" Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with Rosill, and said politely: "Mr. David Rosill, hello!" "Mr. Xia, my uncle is getting older and it is not very convenient to move. I am waiting for you in the living room now. Please forgive me! Hearing David Rohill''s "explanation", Xia Yu sneered secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm, smiled and said "understanding", and walked in with him on his behalf. Sure enough, sitting on the sofa in the middle of the magnificent living room was an old man with age spots and gray hair. Xia Yu recognized it at a glance. It was Guy Lowhill. "Mr. Xia, this is Guy Lowhill. I heard Jacob talk about you..." ... After greeting each other briefly, Xia Yu sat on the sofa on the left hand side under the greeting of Guy Rohill. Guy Rohill and his nephew David Rohill are sitting on the sofas in the middle and right. "Mr. Xia, this month, the Bright Fund is the focus of France. Congratulations on having another company with great potential!" Guy Rohill said kindly. If Xia Yu didn''t know how ferocious Guy Rohill was, he would definitely think he was a kind old man based on his appearance. "Thank you!" Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "Mr. Guy Rohill, I just feel that the Bright Fund has been in France for so long, and there is no company that can be known. So I tried to make a name for the Bright Fund and catch up with the expensive. The family''s reputation in the financial field." "As for whether this company has great potential, I''m not sure. Who in the world can be 100% sure of a company''s future?" Guy Rohill laughed and said meaningfully: "Maybe Mr. Xia can do it for you." "From the perspective of your rise, you seem to have a pair of magical hands, and none of the companies you like have ever lost money!" Xia Yu hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Mr. Guy Rosill, you look up to me. This is too exaggerated. I have experienced a lot of failures, but I have a stronger vanity. So it was deliberately hidden." Guy Roshir smiled, and did not argue with Xia Yu again. He asked softly: "Mr. Xia, do you have any business for us this time?" Facing Guy Rohill¡¯s muddy but seemingly able to see through eyes, Xia Yu gradually reduced his smile, and slowly shook his head and said: ¡°There is no business for the time being, but this time, I think it¡¯s possible The family reached a cooperation." "After all, your family has helped me a lot in the past, and I have always kept it in my heart We Chinese have an old saying, "The grace of dripping water, when the spring is repaid"." "This has always been regarded as the rule of life by me." "So even though your family didn''t find me, when I learned that I might help your family, I took the initiative to come." "Even if I really can''t help in the end, then I will try my best, and I will not feel guilty in my heart!" Xia Yu''s words were very high-sounding, and he looked sincere, as if he was really here to help. But Guy Rosier, who had a ghost in his heart, or made it clear, didn''t take it seriously. He narrowed his eyes and said with a gentle smile: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your enthusiasm." "In what way do you want to cooperate with us?" Facing the scorching gazes of Guy Lowhill and David Lowhill, Xia Yu calmly said, "I heard that the French government seems to be planning to nationalize Edmund Lowhill Bank? Is that true? " As soon as Xia Yu''s words came out, the faces of Guy Roshir and David Roshir became cold. Guy Roshir even looked at Xia Yu with cold eyes for a moment, even though he immediately hid it. He got up, but Xia Yu still noticed it. For a while, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became serious. Although Li Wuming, who was sitting next to Xia Yu, looked as usual, the muscles under his clothes were all tense. v3 Chapter 1100: Reveal true intentions After Guy Rohill and Xia Yu looked at each other for a long time, they asked slowly, "Mr. Xia, how did you know about this?" Xia Yu looked as usual, without any guilty conscience, and said with a light smile: "I also learned about this accidentally." "Mr. Guy Rohill, it is well known that the French government wants to carry out nationalization reforms. As an investment company, Bright Fund naturally has to find a way to figure out the situation. This is the most fundamental requirement, isn''t it?" "It just so happens that I have some friends in the French government. I occasionally talked about this matter in a chat. I asked about the situation. I accidentally learned that Edmund Lowhill Bank was also in the process of nationalization." This reason seems impeccable, but neither Guy Roshir nor David Roshir feels right. Guy Rohill, who is so mature and has seen all kinds of darkness in the world, has a dark mind and has doubts about Xia Yu. However, he did not question Xia Yu face to face, what the truth is, and will investigate later. The most urgent task is to see how Xia Yu wants to cooperate and whether it can really help their family! He calmed down and asked, "Mr. Xia, I want to know how you plan to cooperate?" Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said in a hurry: "I heard that the French government intends to fully nationalize French private banks with resident deposits of more than 1 billion francs before January 2, 1981. Such banking licenses further restrict the number and scale of private banks." "This kind of big policy, I definitely can''t make Edmund Lowhill Bank a special one that is not nationalized." "But if you just apply for another full-category banking license and keep the name of Edmund Lowhill Bank, it should still be possible!" "It has to be said that Rothschild Bank is a bank named after your family. It represents the honor of your family for hundreds of years. If this bank falls into the hands of other families... I don''t think many people want to see this. One scene happened, and this also includes my friend of the noble family." Guy Rosier frowned, his muddy eyes became sharp and scary like eagle eyes, Xia Yu calmly stared at him. What Xia Yu said turned out to be the bottom line determined by their family after deliberating a few days ago! What a coincidence? Or... Is this not a coincidence? Could it be that someone in the family was monitored by him? Or is there a member who betrayed the family? Or is it that Xia Yu really expected things like a **** and analyzed them directly? Guy Rohill couldn''t help but a series of questions popped up in his mind, which seriously disturbed his thoughts. Glancing at Xia Yu with a leisurely look, Guy Rohill can only suppress all the doubts in his mind once again. No matter what the truth is, the bait thrown by Xia Yu now is really tempting. Moreover, based on the contribution of the Bright Fund during the French general election, the relationship between the Bright Fund and Fran?ois Mitterrand is indeed very close, and Xia Yu is really likely to successfully lobby Fran?ois Mitterrand. Opportunity is in front of us, accept it or not? In just an instant, Guy Rohill decided! Take it! The most important thing is to preserve the strength of the family first! Guy Lowhill asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Xia, can you guarantee that you can do what you say?" Xia Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Mr. Guy Rohill, I can''t guarantee this. I can only say that it is possible. I will mobilize all resources to try my best. As to whether the final result is successful, You can only look at fate. After all, if it was easy, with the energy of your noble family, it would have been successful long ago." Guy Rohill can''t say no, he doesn''t believe Xia Yu''s words, if he is not sure, will he take the initiative to come to the door now? It just depends on whether the chips given by the Rohill family are enough! He didn''t make a roundabout with Xia Yu, and said nakedly: "Mr. Xia, what kind of conditions are needed to help us do what you said!" Direct enough, I like it! Xia Yu smiled, took a sip of coffee and said: "I need the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank and BP!" Seeing Guy Roshir and David Roshir''s face gloomy, Xia Yu smiled and added, "Of course, I mean buying, and I didn''t intend to let your family give it to me. After all, it must be impossible!" Guy Rohill and Xia Yu looked at each other for a long time before saying, "Mr. Xia, your request is beyond my authority." "You can change some conditions. For example, we hold a lot of high-quality large companies in France, and I can sell it to you directly!" Xia Yu kept smiling, shook his head and declined: "My main acquisition target in France has been completed, and it will take a long time to digest it. I have no plans to make big moves in France for the time being." It is impossible for him to give Guy Rohill a chance. This old fox just wants to sell him the equity of the company held by Edmond Rohill Bank, so that some funds can be recovered, and secondly, Edmond Rohill will be nationalized, and all assets will belong to the French government. Guy Rohill can be said to be a good government. If you really want to promise him, then Guy Rohill can be regarded as paying nothing, and let Xia Yu do nothing for him. Don''t even think about it! What''s more, from beginning to end, Xia Yu''s goal is to get back the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, especially the shares of Royal Scottish Bank. This time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the future, if you want to seize the lifeblood of the Roshir family to threaten it, it will be as difficult as heaven without a huge conflict! Although Standard Chartered Bank is Xia Yu''s actual absolute control behind it, if he holds the attitude of turning his face, he can still forcefully pit the Rohill family, but the risk is very high. The most important thing is the Royal Bank of Scotland, because before the Rohill family squatted on him halfway, he only acquired 58.9% of the equity, and there is 41.1% of the equity in Barclays. Bank hands. Without absolute controlling rights, Xia Yu could not use the Royal Bank of Scotland to do some key things, causing some of his plans and actions to have to be more troublesome So this time, we must definitely seize the opportunity to save Luo The Hill family is completely cleaned out! "Mr. Guy Rohill, I don¡¯t have sufficient funds. I just want to be interested in the equity of these three companies. If you don¡¯t have the authority, you can discuss with Mr. Jacob Rohill and give me another one. reply!" "Anyway, there should be some time now. I''m not in a hurry. I can''t cooperate if I can''t cooperate." Sitting next to Guy Rohill, David Rohill, who had been silent, saw Xia Yu''s appearance, and an anger rose in his heart. Xia Yu was talking cool words now, making it clear that the Rothsier family was in a hurry. Guy Rosill was old and calm, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will discuss with the family first, and then I will give you an answer!" "But Mr. Xia, I hope you are not joking, but are really sure to accomplish this!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "If I can reach cooperation with your family, I will do my best!" "Mr. Guy Rohill, and Mr. David Rohill, I have something else, so I won''t bother you!" After speaking, Xia Yu got up and prepared to leave. Guy Rohill and David Rohill got up one after another, and at Guy Rohill''s sign, David Rohill accompanied Xia Yu out. A few minutes later, as the roar of a car faded away, David Rohill returned to the house again. He finally couldn''t help being angry, and said loudly: "Uncle, can you be sure that this time it is really the forces headed by the three major families that want to deal with us?" "With the relationship between Xia Yu and Fran?ois Mitterrand, will he dominate everything behind the scenes?" https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1101: What can and cannot be given At around five o''clock in the evening, Guy Rohill and David Rohill left home, went straight to the airport, and boarded a plane to London. At about nine o''clock in the evening, the Lohill family castle living room. This time there were not many people in the meeting, only Jacob Rohill, Evelyn Rohill, and Guy Rohill and David Rohill who came from France. "Uncle Guy, is there anything new? Need you to fly over in such a hurry?" Jacob Roshere looked at Guy Roshere who looked tired, and asked with concern. Before coming, David Rohill only confirmed on the phone whether he was in London or not. After getting the affirmative answer, he hung up the phone after a few simple words, so he didn¡¯t know what was going on, he just guessed. It''s about Edmund Lowhill Bank! Guy Rohill said solemnly: "At three o''clock this afternoon, Xia Yu took the initiative to visit me." Just a word changed the expressions of Jacob Roshir and Evelyn Roshir a little, their attention was concentrated again, and both looked at Guy Roshir with scorching eyes. "He learned that the French government was going to nationalize our family¡¯s bank and offered to help us keep the bank¡¯s name and license, but his request was for the Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank and BP held by our family. Equity..." After listening to Guy Roshir''s narration, both Jacob Roshir and Evelyn Roshir had ugly faces. Evelyn Lowhill asked a very crucial question: "Uncle Guy, are you sure that the forces headed by the three major French families want to suppress us?" "Xia Yu took the initiative to come to the door this afternoon. This behavior and motivation are very suspicious!" "I have to wonder if he is manipulating all this behind the scenes!" Guy Rohill said with certainty: "I got accurate information. It was indeed Bonaparte and other three big families who discussed at the assembly that our family and the forces of Rockefeller and Morgan should be driven out of France together!" "Furthermore, nationalizing banks is the general direction of French policy. Fran?ois Mitterrand''s election manifesto also carried out nationalization reforms. This is certainly not something Xia Yu can interfere. Even the French families and consortia are The targets targeted, Xia Yu''s power in France cannot be stronger than them!" "But Fran?ois Mitterrand''s attitude to suppress us is so resolute, leaving no room for it. I doubt that Xia Yu might have reached a deal with him. This is the only place Xia Yu can do." "Of course, we can only doubt, we can''t show evidence at this time!" "He has indeed been busy acquiring and integrating the lvmh group in France. This behavior is not fake, so he is looking for our family now. It is possible that he really learned the news by accident..." Upon hearing this, Jacob Roshir and Evelyn Roshir fell into deep thought. For a long time, Jacob Lowhill nodded and said: "Uncle Guy''s analysis is very objective, and these possibilities exist." "According to normal circumstances, if Xia Yu wants to buy shares of Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank and British Petroleum from us, we will never sell him!" "He must be clear about this!" "But now that he has caught the vitals of our family, we have to carefully consider his request." "Of course, Uncle Guy is sure that the three French families are behind it. We can know the news, so Xia Yu may also know the intelligence." "It''s also possible that he found an opportunity to take advantage of it and wanted to take advantage of it." "But now these are all secondary. We can''t investigate the situation clearly in a short time. Even if the investigation is clear, we have to compromise in the face of this desperate situation. "So the most important thing now is to discuss how to cooperate with him and keep our family''s bank in France as much as possible!" After speaking, Jacob Lowhill looked at Guy Lowhill. Guy Lowhill nodded and said after a moment of silence: "Yes, Jacobs, the equity of these three companies are in the hands of Barclays Bank. It depends mainly on your opinion." Although everyone belongs to the same family, their respective interests mainly come from their respective territories. Although the main interests of the French Edmond Rohill Bank belong to the family, some books belong to them. This one. Similarly, Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom is mainly the basis of interests of the head of Jacob Lowhill and Evelyn Lowhill, the British branch. And Xia Yu''s request was actually to let the family cede a part of the benefits on the British side in exchange for the benefits on the French side. The key is to look at the attitude of Evelyn Lowhill, the head of the British branch, and the head of the family, Jacob Lowhill! Evelyn Lowhill, the head of the British branch, shrugged, and in front of Guy Lowhill and David Lowhill, directly and clearly said to Jacob Lowhill: " Jacob, the family¡¯s interests are the most important, no matter what decision you make, I have no opinion!" Jacob Rohill can become the head of the entire family, not only is he strong enough, but also has enough mind and prestige. Now that Evelyn Roshir has no objection, he nodded and said: "Uncle Guy, we can agree to cooperate with him, but we have to continue negotiations to reduce the cost as much as possible!" "The reason for the previous acquisition of the shares of Royal Scottish Bank and Standard Chartered Bank was to infiltrate Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium and control him." "But unfortunately our plan seems to have failed. His capital is very scary and he is very vigilant. The core company has not been listed. As his strength becomes stronger, he no longer needs to rely on us to grow. We think The possibility of controlling him is getting lower and lower." "So the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank can be given to him. I think his main goal is also the shares of these two companies." "As for the equity of BP, you can''t give it to him!" "Now BP has only completed the first step of privatization. The government''s ultimate goal is full privatization. We need this company to fight the Rockefeller family in the oil field. It is difficult for other oil companies to compete with the Rockefeller family!" "Now 4% of BP''s equity has fallen into the hands of Bright Fund. This is a huge potential threat. We must start to prevent it now! Reduce his shareholding ratio as much as possible!" Guy Rohill nodded slightly and said, "We will be responsible for the negotiation..." That night, they talked very late. But early the next morning, after having breakfast, Guy Rohill and David Rohill boarded the plane back to Paris, France. Due to time constraints, after Guy Rohill returned home, he immediately called the Bright Fund and contacted Xia Yu and invited him to come in the afternoon. Xia Yu readily agreed. It was still three o''clock in the afternoon, and Xia Yu brought a team of bodyguards to the luxurious manor of the Rohill family. This time, I didn''t chat too much. After a few simple greetings, the negotiations began. Guy Lowhill preemptively asked, "Mr. Xia, we have discussed it, and we can agree to your request, but only if you have to protect our Edmond Lowhill Bank." Xia Yu refused without hesitation: "Please forgive me for not being able to do this. Only Fran?ois Mitterrand can do this in France, but he listed Edmond Rohill Bank as a special price. , It is the failure of reform and the loss of the presidential throne!" "Mr. Guy Lowhill, who do you think can make Fran?ois Mitterrand give up being president?" Guy Roshir was not surprised at all. He set such a high condition to kill Xia Yu. So he immediately said: "Mr. Xia, if you can''t do it, then your request is unreasonable. Whether it is the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank or BP, they are all extremely high-quality assets..." ... Next, Xia Yu had a fierce confrontation with Guy Roshir and David Roshir. Guy Roshir was old and frail. When he was tired, he would replace David Roshir. Xia Yu can be said to be one enemy two, but his momentum is not bad at all. He has eaten the Rohill family! The reason why he added the equity of BP yesterday is also to leave room for today''s negotiations. After nearly half an hour of negotiation, the final result finally came out with difficulty! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1102: Enjoy life if you have money Xia Yu helped the Rohill family to keep the ownership of Edmund Rohill Bank''s name, thereby regaining a full-class banking license. The Lowhill family sold the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered shares held by Barclays Bank to Xia Yu at a premium of 25%. As for the equity of BP, Xia Yu did not get it. Xia Yu guarded the Roshir family from going back, and the Roshir family was also worried about Xia Yu deceiving them. However, because Xia Yu took the initiative, he proposed to obtain the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank. But he is also willing to sign a secret agreement. The agreement stipulates a one-month security period for purchasing the equity of the two banks. If Xia Yu fails, the cooperation fails, and the equity of the two banks needs to be returned to Barclays Bank. Also need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages. After the negotiation, the atmosphere of the chat became more harmonious, at least on the surface. Just when Xia Yu was about to say goodbye, he saw David Roshir taking out a red wine from the closet and said to Xia Yu with a smile: "Mr. Xia, to celebrate our cooperation, do you want to drink some red wine? " "The Lafite Winery produced by our family, from 1787, has been stored for nearly two hundred years. It is definitely a treat!" Xia Yu glanced at Guy Rohill and Davis Rohill. In the West, to celebrate the achievement of cooperation, some people will use champagne, and of course some elegant wines, especially in France, which loves red wine, so Xia Yu is not very surprised. Now that the wine had been brought, he couldn''t refuse. He smiled and nodded and said, "I haven''t tasted the Lafite of 1787, I think it will be a good treat!" Hearing Xia Yu''s words, David Rohill smiled and drank the red wine, and then poured it into the goblet gracefully. "Hey!" "Wish our cooperation go smoothly!" "Of course, happy cooperation!" The three wine glasses touched, Xia Yu moved a little slower, and saw that David Rosier and Guy Rosier actually drank the wine in, so he drank it into his mouth calmly and carefully. Savor it. The Lafite red wine, which is nearly two hundred years old, has a very soft taste and a strong mellow aroma in the mouth. It is a mellow aroma that can only be obtained by time accumulation and fermentation. The taste is really good! Xia Yu smiled and exclaimed: "The wine has a rich aroma and a very good taste!" Xia Yu¡¯s praise made David Lowhill very useful. He smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, if you like Lafite, there are not many in 1787, but there are still some that have been stored for more than a hundred years. You send some to your home." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and declined and said, "Mr. David Rohill, thank you for your generosity, but you don¡¯t need it. There are also thousands of acres of vineyards under the lvmh group. Although most of them are made of champagne and brandy, there are still some High-quality red wine." David Lowhill said with a little regret: "Well then!" ... On the way back, Xia Yu remembered the pride and superiority of David Rosier when he talked about Lafite Winery when he was at Guy Roshir''s house, and could not help but sneer. However, it was also because of David Rohill''s performance that Xia Yu realized that as the wine giant behind the scenes in France, he does not have a top-notch wine estate, which is not in line with his worth. And to be honest, having a top wine estate in France, a country of wine, will undoubtedly better expand his popularity and connections. And taking into account the grand occasion of the wine market in later generations, now starting one or two top wine estates is also a business that makes no losses. After making up his mind, Xia Yu immediately asked Leo Martin to collect information on the top French wineries after returning to the company to see which one is more suitable for the acquisition. At the same time, Xia Yu also called George Berkeley in London to inform the latter of the terms he negotiated with the Rohill family, and ordered him to arrange for the team to go to Barclays Bank to complete the acquisition as soon as possible. On January 28, when George Berkeley said that he had completed the wholly-owned holdings of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, Xia Yu was very happy. Finally, in addition to Jiuding Bank and Island Chiba Bank, there are two more A large bank that you can use with complete confidence! Then he called Fran?ois Mitterrand secretly, thanked him for his help, and informed him of the relaxation of conditions for the Rohill family. Fran?ois Mitterrand easily agreed and congratulated Xia Yu. . On this afternoon, Leo Martin also collected the information of the top French wineries very efficiently. After walking into Xia Yu¡¯s office, Leo Martin reported to Xia Yu with the information: "Boss, Alain Chevalier is very familiar with the wine industry. I asked him to help me collect information together. This was repeated three times. The checked information should be the most detailed!" "Leo, thanks for your hard work, let''s put down the materials first, and I will let you know if something happens!" Xia Yu said with a satisfied smile, sending Leo Martin away. Then he flipped through the information on top French wine estates. The world''s most famous wines are in France, and the ten top wine brands in later generations are produced in the top ten famous French vineyards! The ten famous wineries are Lafite Winery, Latour Winery, Mouton Winery, Margaux Winery, Obiangau Winery, Patus Winery, White Horse Winery and Aosong Winery, Li Chateau Peng and Chateau Romani Conti. Among them, Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour, Chateau Mouton, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Obiang are also known as the "Five Famous Estates", because these five top wine estates all produce From the left bank of Bordeaux. In addition, on the right bank of Bordeaux, there are three famous chateaus, namely Chateau Portus, Chateau White Horse and Chateau Auzon. Therefore, together with the "Five Famous Villages" on the Left Bank, it is also known as the "Eight Famous Villages in Bordeaux"! It can be said that Bordeaux is the main producing area of ??top French red wine. Of course, now Lipeng Winery is only the tail of the crane. But the Romani Conti winery is different. This winery is located in the Burgundy region, and Romani Conti is widely regarded as the world''s top red wine garden. This super winery located in the heart of the Burgundy region of Yeqiuzi, alone is enough to elevate the Burgundy region to the same status as Bordeaux. Moreover, Chateau Romanni Conti is one of the oldest wine estates in France, dating back to the Abbey of Saint-Vivant de Viggi 11 centuries ago. In the past few days, when Xia Yu is thinking about the acquisition target of the winery, his favorite is the Romanni Conti Winery. If you want to buy it, you must buy the best! After reading the information, his thoughts became more determined. Compared to the annual output of the Romane Chateau Lafite, which is about 210,000 bottles per year, the annual output of Romani Conti is controlled at about 6,000, although there is one reason for it. The area is less than that of Lafite Winery, but another important reason is that Romani Conti attaches great importance to quality, and almost every three grapes can produce a bottle of wine. This winery, which was taken over by Louis XV¡¯s cousin Prince Conti in 1760 and renamed accordingly, changed hands several times over the past two hundred years, the last time being in 1942, the family of Divaux Brocher and The Henry Leroy family holds 50% equity each! Neither of these two families were the original masters of Romani Kandi. Without the element of family glory, Xia Yu could use money to smash Romany Kandi! If the premium is 50%, the premium will be doubled, and if it fails, the premium will be doubled. He does not believe that the Divo Bloch family and the Henry Leval family can withstand the French offensive. Anyway, the value of Chateau Romani Conti is amazing in the future. Before Xia Yu''s rebirth, a 1945 Romani Conti wine was sold for 3.86 million RMB, setting a world record for red wine! And the 1945 red wine stored by Romani Conti, but there are as many as 600 bottles, just one bottle of this batch of wine can be stored in later generations, and it can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars properly! It''s not too cost-effective to copy them all back now! Then Xia Yu considered that the output of Romani Conti was indeed too low, and the Roshill family owned a Chateau Mouton in addition to Lafite Winery. He only owned one Romani Conti Winery~ www.novelhall.com~ is a bit of greeting. After some consideration, he chose the Chateau Latour, which was appointed by Napoleon III as the second among the "Four Famous Estates" in 1855. Although in the first grading in 1855, Chateau Latour was subordinate to Chateau Lafite, but after years of development, Chateau Latour is similar to Chateau Lafite, that is, the annual output of Bi Lafite. Zhuang is missing 10,000, only 200,000. However, considering that the Chateau Mouton of the Rohill family was named one of the top five famous chateaus on the left bank of Bordeaux in 1973, it was only one of the second-class chateaus in 1855. If Xia Yu could own Chateau Latour and Chateau Romanni Kanti, he would actually be much better than the Rohill family. The Chateau Latour is also very easy to acquire. In 1963, the Segur family sold the winery to a British earl. If it follows the historical trajectory, Chateau Latour will be repurchased by the French Kering Group in 1993, bringing the ownership back to France. Of course, the previous life is the previous life after all. In this life, Chateau Latour is targeted by Xia Yu, and there is no Kering Group anymore! After delineating the prey, Xia Yu called Leo Martin and asked him to be responsible for the acquisition of the Romanie Conti winery. Then he called George Berkeley in London and asked him to arrange someone to find the English earl. Acquired Chateau Latour. After the two wineries are acquired, Xia Yu believes that his quality of life can be improved. Time flies like a white horse, two days have passed! When the scorching sun in the east slowly rises, it heralds the arrival of February. And this day is also the day when "Economic Weekly" was released globally! https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: ~: statement I''m going to blow up tonight. I wanted to post this chapter since last year. Tonight, a **** ran over on QQ and cursed and cursed at me. The cursing was particularly unpleasant, and it spread to my family. Someone said that I was mute to him, opened my mouth and said that I had subscribed. I have been watching the piracy and the fan system of QQ reading. I will talk to you all about my heart, and I will also declare my attitude here. Originally, the grades of this book were not good, because I was very busy at work, so I stayed up late every day. In order to prevent the plot from being brain-dead, I kept thinking about the plot in my mind even when I was eating, bathing, and going to the toilet. Energy and effort? I can pat on my chest. I was in the third year of junior high school and when I was in high school. I would forget to sleep and eat so much. At that time, I was studying, but now I am writing novels. The plot to insult everyone''s IQ! I dare say that most of the friends who like to read novels are facing a book shortage, and it is difficult to find a book that can be read. Now that the pressure in society is increasing, the communication between authors and readers is decreasing. Therefore, there are very few authors who truly contribute to love, and those with a level of competence are even rarer. How many authors are part-time or full-time, under various pressures in codewords, and codewords silently when many people go to chic, play games, and watch dramas. Isn''t it to make some hard money? dream? Become a god? How many people will go extravagant now? Few people are fooling! So cherish the books that can still be read. My book is poisonous. If it is not poisonous, it would be strange. No one is perfect. The same is true for books. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Everyone listens badly. This is my first book in the true sense. If it is not poisonous, maybe I will become a god. How can I be just an ordinary author? People, you have to learn to look at every matter dialectically and objectively. The most taboo is to use partiality and completeness. It is clear that my book has bright spots, but one or two things make you uncomfortable. You should completely deny my entire book. Is it necessary to even deny me as a person? Pulled away, back to the topic. It''s been two years since I wrote this book. In the past two years, I haven''t watched a movie or a TV series. I haven''t even watched a variety show that I have been watching more than two years ago. As for games? what is that? Do I have the time and qualifications to play? Is it not fragrant to brush Douyin? Haven''t been refreshed? Paralyze the nerves, carefree, how good? But I downloaded it several times. Basically, I uninstalled it decisively after 5 hours at most. Why? Because I know that I don¡¯t have the time cost to waste there. If I put it in my phone, I will open it when I¡¯m tired. It¡¯s better to uninstall it directly! I have a code word! In addition to work and accidents, I can¡¯t be lazy. There are many book friends who have subscribed waiting, and many have to wait until one or two! ¡­¡­ It can be said that I gave up too much for the code word. This book is the result of my labor. I can stand up and say that I have the confidence to subscribe and collect money! If you think this book can pass the time, please support the original version, which is respect for the fruits of labor! All authors know that subscribing is their duty, and rewarding is love! So I only ask for subscriptions and some tickets, but I will not ask for rewards! If you support genuine, then I sincerely thank you for your support, and I wish you success in your work, family happiness, and all the best! Do you have any comments about my book, whether it¡¯s in the book review area, QQ group or WeChat group, or you can ask me for a private chat. I will read it as long as I have time, and I can discuss one or two with you when I have enough time. Of course, the premise is that you don¡¯t scold me. This is the most basic respect for a person and also respect for yourself. Don¡¯t you think your quality is the most precious? If you think that the genuine version supports me, you can do whatever you want. Don¡¯t spray or abuse on the basis of facts. I also have a bottom line. You can directly add my chat tool and send me the screenshots of fans, and I will divide what belongs to me. Return it to you, and then I''m sorry, your account is permanently muted! I''m just so tough! I''m not begging! I have dignity! My personality and dignity are priceless! A few dollars can''t pretend to be an uncle here, I want to step on me, there is no door! If you are watching pirated copies, then I¡¯m sorry, you look at it silently, I¡¯m not upset if I don¡¯t see it, and I won¡¯t take what you do. If you are dissatisfied with it, just don¡¯t look at it, don¡¯t look at it. Why waste this time when you run to the starting point or have a mess of QQ reading? Do I want you to watch it? Are you still shameless? Just like I¡¯m selling peaches, you don¡¯t get my business¡¯s consent, and you just steal my peaches, and eat a few, and suddenly one of them is rotten, you just ran to my shop and pointed at my nose and scolded me. It''s a profiteer, it''s garbage, selling rotten peaches to consumers! also said that my peach wasted your saliva, wasted your time, wasted your bite! I''m going to your mother, you stole my fruit, did you pay? Where''s the face? Haven''t your parents raised you? You might say that I read my books to save me face, and your time is precious. Even reading pirated editions increases the number of clicks and readings of my books, which makes it convenient for me to sell copyrights, and also creates income for me. Sorry, I tell you explicitly, my book cannot sell the copyright, I don¡¯t need it, my book only needs to be subscribed, and I don¡¯t want to click and read any pirated end, it has nothing to do with me! I recognize the starting point and QQ reading! Other ports do not recognize! You must know the nature of those ports! If you started with a whiteboard account for several years or even more than ten years, with a title of trainee, or with a level below 4 in the QQ bookstore, you will swear in my book review area and spray my content into the V chapter. , I can¡¯t bear it anymore. I just deleted it before, but now I see one by one, lest some people lack the sense of existence. After commenting, I ran to see if anyone responded to him. I saw that the post was deleted and posted to me violently. Screaming wildly, I don''t have time to talk to you! Don''t influence others! Last time I turned on the speech limit for a few days, only fan-level apprentices (over 500 coins spent on the starting point) can speak and then I turned it off again, but now I declare that from time to time Open, when to open it to see my mood! To reiterate, the results of this book are very poor. I can insist on writing as fast as 3 million words, and I can continue to finish the book, but the premise is that the manuscript fee can give me the confidence to withstand the pressure of life. If not, I can only Find another way out. My family and my parents need to rely on me as the backbone. I have to make them live a little better. No amount of embarrassment and guilt will be wiped out by the cruel reality. The final result can only be This book is stopped or hastily finished. In addition, I also revised the introduction of the book. After adding a group to get more than a deacon (fan value is 5000), the QQ Bookstore should be level 6 (with fire at the back) (at least 25000 active points), I have to prevent low-quality people from coming in , The group was reported several times last time. In addition, I have to give back to the people who really support me as much as possible to send benefits. The benefits I send are not many for you, but this is my attitude! After this single chapter, I don¡¯t know how many genuine subscription friends will be driven away, and I think you are so dazzling, I think you are upset, I don¡¯t read it. But I can¡¯t take that much into consideration. I¡¯ve always been concerned about this before, and I don¡¯t want my emotions to affect everyone, so I have been holding back without saying it, but I can¡¯t stand it tonight, whether it¡¯s willful or impulsive, don¡¯t vent it. I am not happy! Although I can¡¯t travel around the world like the protagonist Xia Yu, I want to be more comfortable and enjoyable. I am alive, and I am too boring and boring! If I am timid and inferior, I will write about the protagonist who will not appear! Let¡¯s stop here for the time being, and I have been writing for an hour. Although I wasted time writing a chapter, I have written it all out now, and I feel much more relaxed in my heart. I take a bath and then code. v3 Chapter 1103: Knock Forbes 1 Sap Early this morning, Xia Yu got newspapers and magazines from his mailbox. "Economic Weekly" he only glanced at it and put it aside. He had already read the list before, and it is not too late to read the other contents of the magazine. Then he immediately opened the "Le Figaro", and the headline on the front page was "The world''s richest man with more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in assets, he is the richest man in France!" ¡· As long as the French see this title, most of them will be interested. There are too few people who are not interested in wealth! Xia Yu read the entire report with interest. Of course, the quality of the article was not mentioned. Le Figaro is the largest newspaper in France at any rate, and there is not enough level to support this market position. In the news reports, the "Economic Weekly" was also highlighted, and some of the lists of the "Economic Global Rich List" and "The World''s Top 500 Enterprises" were put on the top, and they were specially marked to have been authorized to reprint. Of course, it is inevitable to put a high hat on "Economic Weekly". "Le Figaro" contains the essence of the phrase "fame is blown up". In addition to the headlines on the front page, the entire "Le Figaro" has a lot of content related to "Economic Weekly", such as analyzing how many French companies are listed on the "Top 500 Companies in the World" and what it means; Another example is how many people in France are on the "Economic Global Rich List", what proportion of their total assets together, and what level are they in the world... After reading it, Xia Yu was very satisfied. The report of Le Figaro, which still hugs the pipa, can definitely be a huge recommendation for Economic Weekly, and there are many praises in the report, which are two epoch-making copies of Economic Weekly. The global list gives a very high praise and can definitely arouse the curiosity of readers. Xia Yu can conclude that the assistance of Le Figaro alone can bring at least 300,000 copies of sales to Economic Weekly, making Economic Weekly a medium-sized magazine in France in one step. How high the upper limit can be depends on the actual sales in the next week! In France, in addition to Le Figaro, which reports on Economic Weekly, the French Mirror Group still has 58 newspapers, many of which are reporting relevant news. The situation in France is just a microcosm of Yan Wenhan¡¯s global promotion of "Economic Weekly." USA, New York! Forbes Group. The current president, Milecome Forbes, who is more than sixty years old, came to the company to schedule work in the data analysis department. Since the "Forbes US Rich List" published by "Business Weekly" from Asia more than a year ago, the sales of "Forbes" magazine have been rising, and because "Forbes" magazine has been operating in the United States for more than 60 years , The foundation is deep, so although "Economic Weekly" has taken the lead in Asia, it is still not an opponent of "Forbes" in the United States. But since the release of the "Forbes Rich List", Milecom Forbes has realized that this is a very good business plan. As long as it is done well and is globally well-known, it is enough to make "Forbes" surpass "Fortune". And his genius son, Steve Forbes, who is currently the company''s deputy editor-in-chief, also agrees with him. Therefore, from a year ago, Malcom Forbes began to expand the company''s editing and analysis departments, trying to create two truly global lists. Once this plan was discussed, it was highly supported by all the executives. After that, the plan was included in the company''s top secret, and the entire company was working hard towards the set goals. After nearly a year of hard work, there have been huge results! Although the company has expended huge amounts of capital and resources, in the eyes of Malcom Forbes, all of this is worthwhile. As long as half a year later, when the two global lists are released, it is the harvest season, and all the efforts will be doubled in return! After inspecting the progress of the work, Milecom Forbes encouraged all the employees, and then left, preparing to go to his office. But just after he returned to the office to sit down, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door. He could not help but frown slightly, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and stared at the door. When he found out that it was his son Steve Forbes who appeared at the door, and he was still flustered, Malcolm Forbes subconsciously thumped and looked at the magazine he was holding tightly in his hands and the rolled up magazine. Newspaper, an inexplicable irritability arose in my heart. "Steve, what happened to make you so panicked!" Hearing his father''s question, Steve Forbes gasped and said: "Father, our plan is about to fail. Economic Weekly has published the "Global Rich List" and "The World''s Top 500 Companies Ranking"! " Milkang Forbes didn''t react at first, but after a moment of stunned the whole person stood up suddenly, with his hands on the table, his fingers tight, and the veins on the back of his old hands violently. "Steve, what did you say? You say it again!" "Father!" "Hey, see for yourself!" Steve Forbes shouted, very anxious, he sighed, and directly put the magazine and newspaper in his hand in front of his father. Myercom Forbes picked up the magazine with a solemn expression. When he saw the "Economic Global Rich List" and "The World''s Top 500 Companies" on the cover, the whole person was dumbfounded, as if someone had knocked his head. The hammer is average. turned out to be "Economic Weekly"! His hands trembled a bit, but the speed of turning pages was fast, and he was eagerly looking for the two lists in the magazine. Within a short while, he turned to the "Economic Global Rich List", and the top four local tyrants in the Middle East were greeted. The Saudi family ranked first with $117 billion in assets! He resisted the mentality of breaking down and looked down quickly. The more I look down, my face becomes uglier, just like a dead father! The rich people on this list are really from various regions and countries around the world. Some of them are familiar to him because their company has collected the information of these people. This is the true global rich list! This is what they are doing their best! Then he saw the "Top 500 Companies in the World" list. The blue giant IBM of the United States ranks first in the world, and the following companies are from Britain, France, West Germany, island countries, Spain...a series of countries, and they are all world-renowned multinational companies! With years of professional experience and knowledge of Milecom Forbes, he immediately had an accurate judgment on this list. This is a more complete list than the "Fortune 500" and "Fortune International 500" list! and many more! at this time. Milecom Forbes saw a line of instructions under the leaderboard. I saw the words "This list is the world''s largest and most powerful listed company based on the four major indicators of business revenue, profit, assets and market value. The list uses a comprehensive score." For an instant, Milecom Forbes couldn''t help it anymore, and his mentality collapsed completely! He smashed "Economic Weekly" heavily on the table, slapped it on the table and made a huge noise. He completely ignored his image, and shouted like a shrew. "shuit!" "#£¤%#%#£¤¡­¡­£¤&" "The company has spies!" "This shameless **** absolutely copied us..." Steve Forbes was taken aback. When he saw his father''s face flushed with anger and shortness of breath, he hurried to his father''s side and held his shoulders to comfort him. "Father, don''t be so angry, pay attention to your body, sit down first!" After venting, Milecom Forbes seemed to be drained of strength, and slumped on the chair with a bitter and hopeless expression. "Father, are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?" Steve Forbes asked his father with a worried look. Milecom Forbes shrugged his face and shook his head slightly. He didn''t even have the desire to speak. He ignored the "Economic Weekly" magazine that he had left next to him, and picked up the unopened newspaper with trembling hands. When he opened it, he recognized it at a glance. It is now the highest-selling newspaper in the United States-"USA Today". is just the bold headline on the first page that gave Melcom Forbes a big hit. "The world''s most authoritative rich list and corporate rankings were released today. What are you familiar with? ¡· "USA Today" is actually promoting "Economic Weekly"? Myrkang Forbes''s forehead breathing became more and more rapid. He resisted the urge to tear up the newspaper and read the news report. After reading it, he tore "USA Today" to pieces. Then he picked up a copy of the "New York Daily News" and tore it off after less than a minute. Steve Forbes on the side had never seen his father so gaffe but this time, he understood very well. This issue of "Economic Weekly" destroyed all their Forbes Group''s efforts in the past year! With the "Economic Weekly" jewel in front, which way should their "Forbes" magazine look for? The business selection criteria of "Economic Weekly" are the same as the list they secretly produced. If they dared to publish "Forbes" after half a year, they would definitely be marked as plagiarism, which he absolutely couldn''t bear! Not only that. Let "Economic Weekly" run for half a year, the market has been eaten up by it more than half, and their "Forbes" absolutely cannot compete. After all, from the fact that "USA Today" and "New York Daily News" reported relevant news on the day the "Economic Weekly" was released, it can be seen that the details were known at least yesterday. It can be seen how powerful the resources that "Economic Weekly" can mobilize, their Forbes group is definitely not an opponent. The first hand is occupied by the opponent again, and there are not as many resources as the opponent, how can this competition? For a moment, both father and son were silent, and the whole office was filled with a negative and dull atmosphere. Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1104: Sales that shocked the world! Chapter 1104 The sales that shocked the world! For a long time, the noise from outside awakened the Forbes and his son in the office. Within a few seconds, several executives came to the door in a panic expression, and almost all of them had newspapers or magazines in their hands. Milecom Forbes instantly understood what was going on. He couldn''t help but think of one thing, the executives all know, then how many people in the entire company are talking about this? Thinking of the consequences of the company''s turmoil, Milecom Forbes had to try his best to clean up his mood and keep himself calm. "come in!" As his vicissitudes of life fell, several executives at the door immediately walked in, and you reported the situation to Malcom Forbes every word. "Chairman, we have encountered a huge crisis..." It''s just that when they keenly saw the "Economic Weekly" magazine and torn newspapers on the desktop, and saw that Milecom Forbes said nothing, they also realized that the chairman had already known the news. "Chairman, shall we convene a meeting with all the employees of the company now?" "The news of the two global lists published by Economic Weekly has spread throughout the company, and most of the employees have been affected, especially those in the data analysis department. When I came, I saw that some people''s mentality had collapsed. ..." An executive said worriedly. Anyone who insists on the goal for more than a year suddenly sees no hope, and his mentality will be out of balance! Not only the employees, but also himself! It''s time to stabilize the military spirit! Malcome Forbes nodded heavily, and after thinking about it, he said to them: "You go and inform all the executives to have a meeting in the conference room within three minutes!" "Yes!" The executives nodded quickly, and then hurriedly left the office to inform other colleagues. "Let''s go, Steve, accompany me to the data analysis department to calm their emotions first." After finishing speaking, Malcom Forbes walked out of the office with Steve Forbes and his son. ¡­¡­ The situation is the same as Xia Yu estimated. With the accumulation of media resources all over the world under his Jiuding Consortium, the popularity of Economic Weekly exploded directly. Especially CNN, which has become a national news network in the United States, has carried out a comprehensive report on the relevant news of Economic Weekly. The customers who will pay to subscribe to become CNN are basically the middle class and above. People in these classes have received double publicity from TV stations and newspapers. They are very curious about the two lists of Economic Weekly. So even though it was only the first day of the publication of "Economic Weekly", it achieved explosive sales worldwide. The total sales volume in North America is 1.09 million copies, of which the United States accounts for 820,000 copies! The total sales volume in Europe reached 1.12 million, of which the UK and France were the main sales contributors, accounting for 71% of the first-day sales in Europe, and the first-day sales in the UK reached 430,000. This book, France sold 370,000 copies on the first day, and the two countries sold 800,000 copies in total, almost equal to the sales in the US market. Then Asia... Oceania... South America... Final statistics show that the world¡¯s first day shipment volume reached 3.45 million copies! And Xia Yu made Yan Wenhan print the first batch of 10 million copies worldwide! accounted for more than one-third of sales on the first day! This magazine has to be sold for six days! And according to the law of magazine sales, the second and third days are the explosive period of sales! In fact, on the first morning, after learning about the global shipments, Xia Yu realized that the sales of Economic Weekly were about to explode. He gave an instruction to Yan Wenhan who was reporting the situation on the phone and asked him to An additional five million copies were printed, allowing him to use printing resources worldwide. After the explosive sales on the first day of "Economic Weekly" were deliberately reported, it immediately caused a sensation. Readers became more and more curious, while the media and publishing industries began to study "Economic Weekly." In the following week, the sales of Economic Weekly increased steadily under the attention of the public. On the second day, "Economic Weekly" sold 3.77 million copies worldwide, breaking the historical record of 7.19 million copies of the world''s best-selling magazine "Reader''s Digest" weekly. On the third day, the global sales volume of Economic Weekly was 3.75 million copies, and the weekly sales volume of Economic Weekly exceeded 10 million copies, reaching 10.97 million copies, becoming the world¡¯s first weekly sales volume. A magazine with more than ten million copies, and the world''s first weekly magazine with sales exceeding ten million copies! From the fourth day, the heat gradually dissipated, and the daily sales of Economic Weekly began to drop, directly dropping below 3 million copies, and the global sales volume was only 2.69 million copies. Sales on the fifth, sixth and seventh days also fell all the way. Especially on the seventh day, the sales dropped to 620,000 copies worldwide. With the end of the seventh day, the global weekly sales of Economic Weekly also came out. 16,8 million copies! This is a brilliant data that has shocked the entire industry. "Economic Weekly" is like a mountain that suddenly appeared on the body of all magazines, which is awesome. After ¡¡¡¡, the Guinness World Records certification team awarded the "Economic Weekly" magazine a world record medal, and this brilliant sales was also included in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for the world''s praise. After finishing the world record certification, Yan Wenhan called Xia Yu. After receiving the call from Paris, Xia Yu praised Yan Wenhan, and then reminded him earnestly, asking him to adjust his mentality and manage the company¡¯s employees. This time, the report of Economic Weekly The shocking sales are the result of many factors. It is estimated that it is at its peak, and the subsequent sales will definitely fall sharply. You must be psychologically prepared. Fortunately, Yan Wenhan did not drift off. He had a clear understanding of this. He knew that the sales volume of this issue was so high because the chairman Xia Yu mobilized global media resources for publicity. Furthermore, readers are also looking for freshness and buying to satisfy curiosity. In each subsequent issue of the magazine, the list of "Economic Global Rich List" and "Top 500 World Companies" will not change much, and only when the financial report is released each quarter will there be a relatively large change. Therefore, it is impossible to expect those readers who are fresh and curious to buy the magazine to subscribe again. It must be spent on other contents of the magazine to consolidate and increase sales. The facts are just as Xia Yu expected. By the second week, the sales of "Economic Weekly" plummeted below 10 million to 9.26 million copies. Even though Yan Wenhan was prepared, he was still depressed when this scene happened. But this also aroused his fighting spirit. He convened a meeting of all senior executives and set a goal within one and a half years, that is, to stabilize the weekly sales of "Economic Weekly" magazines at more than nine million copies. Once this happens, the monthly sales volume of Economic Weekly will reach 36 million copies, surpassing Reader''s Digest, which sells more than 27 million copies per month, and is firmly established as the world''s number one magazine. This task is very arduous and challenging, but the results are also extremely attractive, inspiring the employees of "Economic Weekly" magazine to work hard! Of course, Xia Yu didn''t pay much attention to these, especially the second week of "Economic Weekly" magazine sales. Because this week, his attention was focused on France. Especially since February 8, important meetings have been held within the French government, and various forces are also making their final efforts. The whole of France is flooded with an undercurrent. Finally, on February 11th, with a top-level meeting chaired by Fran?ois Mitterrand, everything was settled! In the afternoon of the same day, the French government held a press conference and promulgated the "Nationalization Act"! Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1105: French nationalization kicked off The issuance of the "Nationalization Act" this time has attracted worldwide attention. Not only the major French media and television stations have also made a comprehensive and detailed interpretation of this policy, and even the media in other European countries are also vigorously analyzing this decree. What impact will it have on France and Europe... The Nationalization Act specifies the list of companies to be nationalized. There are a total of 39 banks, including three existing state-owned banks, and 36 private banks. Among the state-owned banks, BNP Paribas, Credit Lyonnais, and Societe Generale have 10% or less of the equity in the hands of private investors or executives. This time they will all be nationalized, and the government will once again achieve 100% Holding. And 36 private banks, including BNP Paribas with assets of nearly 350 billion francs, Alibaba Suez, ICBC, Cr¨¦dit de France and Edmond Rohill Bank, etc. , There are also local banks such as Marseille Credit Company, Western Regional Bank and Ontario Regional Bank. In the banking sector, in addition to the list of these 39 banks, the decree also made special treatments and explanations for the three major banks with registered deposits exceeding one billion francs before January 2, 1981. The Central Bank of Mutual Aid, Credit Union, and French Cooperative Credit Bank. The government considered that they are affiliated banks of Mutual Credit Institutions and have their own business methods and social responsibilities. They are the targets of encouragement in the future, so they are excluded at the last minute. Out of the ranks of nationalization. Of course, what the general public does not know is that these three banks were spared and it was also the result of the compromise between Fran?ois Mitterrand and the three families. But despite this, after this nationalization, all deposits and loans of nationalized banks (including banks indirectly controlled by the state) accounted for 87.6% and 87.6% of the total deposits and loans of registered banks, respectively. At 77.6, French private banks accounted for only 4.4% and 8.4%, and foreign banks accounted for 8.4% and 14%. The French government has an absolute dominant position in the banking industry! In addition to the large-scale nationalization of the banking industry, the government has also fully nationalized five giant industrial groups, including Rhone-Planck Chemical Group and Thomson Group, which has strengthened the government¡¯s leading position in the heavy industry sector and facilitated the Play a leading role in the economic reforms that follow. As soon as the "Nationalization Act" came out, France celebrated the whole country. Almost all citizens expected the government to reverse the economic decline and make everyone''s lives better again. On the second day after the promulgation of the "State-owned Act", that is, on February 13, the French Banking Regulatory Commission issued an official document stating that the state-owned bank Edmund Rohill Bank will be renamed BNP Paribas Financial Corporation. The ownership and use right of the name "Edmond Rohill Bank" was transferred to the French Orleans Company free of charge, and a full bank license was issued to the French Orleans Company. When he saw this document, Xia Yu was completely relieved that his cooperation agreement with the Rohill family had all come into effect, and the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank could finally be taken back by the Rohill family. Because the French Orleans company is a wholly-owned company of the Rohill family in France. On February 16th, the French Orleans Company completed the change, and Edmund Rohill Bank was established again in Paris, but this time the Rohill family was very low-key. Although there was no media publicity and no opening ceremony, as long as the big families in Paris knew that the Rohill family had re-opened Edmond Rohill Bank, many families were dissatisfied because of Rohill. Although the family''s strength has been greatly damaged, it has not been cleared out, and there will be huge troubles in the future. Moreover, Edmond Rohill Bank is a golden sign. Although the bank assets cultivated by the Rohill family in the past two decades have been taken away by the French government, as long as the hidden sign is worth at least tens of billions of francs. Now, the Rohill family will recover more than five times faster than re-registering a new bank! But these are also what Xia Yu likes to see. He knew very well that the Rohill family, the Rockefeller family, and the Morgan family were the first enemies of the major French families and consortia, leaving the Rohill family in France to attract a large part of the firepower. And his rising environment will be more relaxed. This time he pitted the Rohill family in France, he has already made a lot of money. The Rohill family will definitely be annoyed, but if the major families and consortia in France not only suppress the Rohill family, but also suppress him during Xia Yu, the two sides might not be able to unite against the local forces in France. For the ruler, in this world, interests are eternal! What''s more, the loss of the Rohill family in France does not mean that Xia Yu can no longer retaliate against them elsewhere. For the internal harmony of the Rohill family, how can the strengths of their branches be as close as possible? How can the Rohill family be the only one in the UK! Thinking about this, Xia Yu suddenly felt that he must be a good person who thinks about others, hehe~ ¡­¡­ Completed the set goal perfectly. Xia Yu was all comfortable, even with a lot of smiles on his face. The company''s employees were influenced by him, and the enthusiasm for work became even higher. This afternoon, Xia Yu was looking at the phased acquisition report submitted by Leo Martin against the Busac Group in his office. After assigning him a task on January 21, Leo Martin asked the company team to spend ten days to prepare for a comprehensive action. Then the official action began on February 1. First, let the newspapers of the Mirror Group begin to analyze the crisis of the Bussac Group, and at the same time let people secretly push the employees'' union of the Bussac Group to carry out a larger-scale strike action. This series of behaviors caused the capital market to downgrade the Bussac Group once again. The Bright Fund has shorted ahead of schedule. Therefore, the Bussac Group¡¯s stock market has fallen all the way in the past two weeks. By the time the market was closed on Friday, February 12, the market value of the Bussac Group had fallen from more than 620 million francs before the action to more than 380 million francs, and the market value had evaporated by more than 240 million francs. And the bad news of the Busac Group continues to be produced. Therefore, on the weekends of February 13th and February 14th, Bright Fund and various short-selling institutions proposed to end the betting early. Facing the relatively loose price given by the Bright Fund, and these institutions did not want to put their funds in the Busac Group, they all agreed to stop the loss. Statistics show that the Bright Fund made a profit of 46.59 million francs in this short-selling operation. The second step plan will begin next Monday, that is, tomorrow. While continuing to suppress the share price of the Bussac Group, it will begin to use the shell company to secretly acquire shares from the market and outside the market. In order to carry out this second step plan, Bright Fund left 5% of its shares unsold when gambling with major institutions ~ www.novelhall.com ~ shareholding information has been disclosed once, so in accordance with financial transaction regulations , The situation of over-the-counter acquisitions of stocks can be voluntarily chosen whether to disclose. When he was about to get off work that evening, Leo Martin brought another good news for Xia Yu. Romani Conti Winery was successfully acquired, and both families surrendered in the face of the Franc offensive. But the entire acquisition cost a total of 355 million francs. Before the acquisition, the Bright Fund¡¯s valuation of Chateau Romanni Conti was 160 million francs. Therefore, the premium for this acquisition is as high as 222%! In 1869, Jacques Marie Divo Brochet paid a premium for the acquisition of the Chateau Romanni Conti for 260,000 francs. Now the chateau is sold at a price of 355 million francs. One thousand three hundred and sixty-five times in value in one hundred and thirteen years! Although the purchasing power of francs has been declining over the past 100 years, the total GDP of France has increased by 268 times, which is much lower than 1,365 times! Although GDP cannot be linked to the purchasing power of currency, you will know that the top wine estates are indeed extremely high-quality assets! Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1106: This is a treasure house! Early the next morning, Xia Yu, accompanied by Curtis Dubois, an executive in the investment department who completed the acquisition by himself, went to the Romani Conti Winery. Although the Brocher family and the Le Hua family evacuated the people from the Romanie Conti winery after selling their equity, this does not mean that no one is available at the winery. At any rate, the Romani Conti Winery has a history of more than 900 years. Although the staff has been constantly flowing over the past nine hundred years, there are still many small families dedicated to the Romanni Conti Winery. On the way there, Curtis Dubois first introduced Xia Yu to the details of the Romanie Conti winery. The most important thing for the Romanni Conti winery now is the two families that have passed on for more than 400 years, namely the Noble family who specializes in winemaking and the Faulkner family who specializes in vineyard planting and fruit tree cultivation. It is precisely because these two families have kept their hearts, they have been specializing in their respective fields for hundreds of years, and they have cooperated closely to make Romani Conti wines world-leading with super high quality. The Brocher family and the Leroy family, which were in charge before, mainly played a role in operation and management. So after the departure of the Brocher family and the Leva family, the influence on the Romanie Conti winery is not significant. Burgundy is located between the Jura Mountains and the southeastern end of the Paris Basin. It is a passage between the Rhine, Seine, Loire and Rhone rivers. It is two hundred and fifty-one kilometers away from Paris. After nearly three hours of driving, Xia Yu came to the Romanni Kandi Winery at about eleven o''clock in the morning. Curtis Dubois immediately summoned two elders, 68-year-old Andre Noble and 62-year-old Gal Faulkner. "Boss, this is Andre Noble." "This is Gal Faulkner!" "Old Noble, Old Faulkner, this is what I told you, the real owner of the winery, Mr. Xia Yuxia!" "¡­¡­" Xia Yu¡¯s words are mild, and it gives people a feeling of spring breeze while speaking, so that Andre Noble and Gal Faulkner have no psychological pressure, and Xia Yu¡¯s praise and praise for them also makes them both happy. After some small talk, Xia Yu decided to go and see his vineyard first. Led by Gal Faulkner, Xia Yu and others came to a small hill. According to Gal Faulkner, standing on this hill, being able to overlook a large area of ??vineyards, will have the best visual enjoyment. Although it is a hill, vines are still planted here. Standing on the hill, you can see rows of neatly planted vines, like dense green lines. The spacing of each row is about one meter, which is very symmetrical. , This distance should be able to achieve the best ratio between the light intensity of the grapes and the land utilization. However, it is February, and the vines are mostly green with green buds. Although they are not as visually impactful as the dark greens in June and July, the tender greens give people a healing visual enjoyment. At this time, standing in Gar Faulkner began to introduce Xia Yu to the whole vineyard. "Boss, the area of ??our manor is 1.805 hectares. From 1580 to the present 400 years, there has been no increase or decrease of even one centimeter of land." "Although most of the vines died due to severe hail in the spring of 1945, we introduced older vines from Latahi Winery in Yeqiu. The original vines of Latahi Winery had root nodules. The vines were introduced from our estate after the pest infestation, so the vines in our vineyard are still pure Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the trees are nearly 50 years old, and the quality is very stable..." Gal Faulkner pointed to the busy workers in the distance, and continued to introduce Xia Yu: "Now our manor does not have any mechanized equipment. The grape planting and care are completely manual, no chemical fertilizers are used, and other chemical methods are used as little as possible. After the grapes have matured, only skilled workers are allowed to pick them. After harvesting, strict screening is required to screen out the good grapes before they are used for brewing..." Xia Yu smiled and nodded in satisfaction. In the era of ever-changing winemaking technology, more scientific winemaking techniques are widely used in winemaking, but Romani Conti chose to be out of touch with the times. However, it is precisely because the cultivation, management, picking, and brewing of the Romani Conti vineyards are not particularly different from those when winemaking began in the 11th century. This inheritance and persistence of traditions keeps the Romanni Conti wines as always. Super high quality is an important reason for being sought after by the world. Xia Yu bowed his head and took a closer look at the nearly fifty-year-old vine. After checking the growth of the vine, he returned to the brewing area. In the winery area, Andr¨¦ Noble is responsible for the explanation. Stable and controllable temperature is an important factor for perfect fermentation of wine. Therefore, most of the wine cellars of wine estates are underground, and the winery of Romani Conti is no exception. After Andre Noble opened the door, a strong aroma of wine came out. After entering, Xia Yu found that the entire wine cellar was filled with a strong aroma, which made people intoxicated. "Boss, our wines are made in fine oak barrels, using local wild yeast, unlike some wineries that use commercial yeast and constant temperature stainless steel fermentation tanks." "Although we will make the process more cumbersome and costly in this way, only in this way can we guarantee the quality of our wines." "This is because we grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and oak barrels can make the ingredients in the wine blend tightly. This is especially important for wines such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with complex taste and suitable for aging. ." "And oak barrels can add aromas of vanilla, cloves, leaves, nuts, roasting and caramel to wine. Oak barrels are also places for secondary fermentation, which is unmatched by stainless steel fermentation tanks with constant temperature..." Andre Noble pointed to the oak barrels piled on the surrounding wooden shelves, and introduced Xia Yu. Xia Yu walked over and touched an oak barrel, looking at the time written on the bottom of the barrel, it was September 21, 1981. Xia Yu looked at the wine barrels all around, and asked softly: "Old Noble, are all the brews here last year?" Andr¨¦ Noble shook his head and pointed to the two rows of oak barrels in front of him and said: "No, only these two rows are wines made last year. Our vineyard produces about 2,500 liters per year. It¡¯s not like those large wineries with a production volume of seven to eighty thousand liters." then pointed to the oak barrel not far away and said, "The two columns were harvested and brewed on September 28, 1980." "The two farthest columns are the wines harvested on September 25, 1979." "There will be no more time, because oak barrels will be scrapped after three years of use at most, so the wine that was harvested on September 25, 1979, we will start bottling in March..." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and said to Andre Noble again: "Where is the wine that has been bottled before? Take me over and see." "Okay, please follow me!" After that, Andre Noble took Xia Yu and turned left and right along a road, and came to a large wooden door. After opening, he turned on the light of the storage room. Suddenly, the view of the storage room came into view. This is a straight arched passage with a corner at the end, like a brick kiln. On both sides of the passage, there are wooden wine racks with slanting support. Every position on the wine rack is filled with a wine, densely packed. It is like a honeycomb, giving people a strong visual impact. "Old Noble, how many bottles of wine are still in the storage? Is there a list of each vintage?" I took out a bottle of wine at close range and found that it was marked as 1964, which is 18 years ago. Xia Yu put the wine back in. I felt that there were so many wines that I couldn¡¯t come across in a short time, so I directly asked Andre. Noble asked. "Yes, registration will be done every time you leave the warehouse and enter the warehouse. There is a special statistics room here, please follow me!" After that, Andre Noble took Xia Yu for a while, came to an office, and took out a huge leather-clad notebook. He put the book on the table, opened it, and introduced to Xia Yu: "Boss, here is the number of remaining wines for each age. At present, the oldest wine in the storehouse was produced in 1754, and only left Eleven bottles!" Xia Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and saw the top row of the table. There is still 1754 wine, which has reached two hundred and twenty-eight years! is older than the 1787 Lafite brought out by the Rohill family before! But there are only eleven bottles, which is really rare! Then Xia Yu followed the form and looked down. There are five bottles of wine in 1755. There are three bottles of wine in 1756. None from 1757 to 1761. So 1756 is directly below 1762, and there are thirteen bottles in storage. there are many years of faults behind. According to Andr¨¦ Noble¡¯s explanation, it is because the weather in those vintages is not good and the tannins produced by the grapes produced are not full enough, so there is no way to have a long enough life. Many of them are stored for decades or even hundreds of years. It is all emptied, and long-term storage of wines with insufficient tannins will only make the taste worse and worse. ¡­¡­ Until 1800, I made a statistics, and there were a total of 129 bottles of wine before. Then the number of wines between 1801 and 1900 was a bit more, reaching 525 bottles. This is definitely a huge treasure house! Romani Conti Winery is so valuableThese stored aged wines are a very important factor! Looking at the years after 1900, as time gets closer to the present, the amount of storage also increases. Of course, there is an exception. For example, in 1945, there are still four hundred and twenty bottles in storage. But in the six years from 1946 to 1951, no bottle of wine was stored. Seeing Xia Yu¡¯s sight staying there, Andre Noble immediately explained: ¡°Boss, because the climate changes every year, the annual grape production will change, and the grapes produced in high-yield years can even make 9,000. There are many wines, so the proportion of new wines used for long-term storage after ten years is different. However, in 1945, due to hail attacks, most of the vines died. Only six hundred bottles of wine were produced that year because of the small number. , So the total storage ratio is very high." "In the six years from 1946 to 1951, newly transplanted vines were cultivated. Because of the unstable quality, no bottle of wine was made." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said softly: "The total output in 1945 was only 600 bottles, and there were still four hundred and twenty bottles left. I was a little surprised." PS: The second one is here, I wish everyone a happy weekend! Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1107: The value of lvmh group exceeded RMB 0 billion Although in his previous life, Xia Yu knew that the Romani Conti winery produced only 600 bottles of wine in 1945, but he didn''t know how many really left behind before he bought it. Unexpectedly, there would be four hundred and twenty bottles. ! The wine of this vintage is not only of very high quality, but also very rare in quantity. In addition, the subsequent six consecutive years of suspension of production have increased its rarity and legend. Even if the quality of the 1945 Romani Conti wine is not the best, other factors alone are worthy of speculation by collectors! Thinking of later generations in 2018, a bottle of 1945 Romani Conti sold a price of 3.86 million yuan, and now these 420 bottles are well-hyped in later generations, and they can be worth two to three billion US dollars. Seeing the end, the list is as of 1978, the storage quantity is 6,589 bottles, and the harvest and brewing time is October 22. Xia Yu remembered that the quality of the Romani Conti wines of this year was extremely high, and the world''s evaluation of this year''s wines was also extremely high. Xia Yu asked Andr¨¦ Noble, "Old Noble, was the wine from the 1970s the best quality in 1978?" Andr¨¦ Noble nodded and said, "Boss, the weather in the 1970s was generally bad. 1978 was the best year in that decade. The cold weather in spring and early summer that year caused the vines to bloom late. The weather did not improve until August. Fortunately, the weather was relatively good throughout the autumn, allowing the grapes to fully mature, but the picking time was also delayed a lot, from October 16 to October 22." "Although it takes more than ten years for wine to ferment to make the taste stable, but based on my many years of experience, the quality of the wine in 1978 is indeed excellent. Although it is not the best vintage in the history of the winery, it is also the peak. Batch." "Well, I got it!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then closed the register, and said to Andr¨¦ Noble: "Take me to see the wines that have been stored for one or two hundred years, and the batch from 1945." "Ok!" After speaking, Andre Noble took Xia Yu and left the registration room. After watching the lunch, Xia Yu also opened the oldest wine from 1754 that he brought out. Everyone present shared some of them, which surprised Curtis Dubois. Where did he drink this kind of wine? Two hundred years of wine? He couldn''t help secretly saying that this time it was worth coming with the boss. Everyone tastes this wine carefully, because the most taboo of old wine is to constantly shake the glass, which will greatly affect the taste of the wine. Especially the winemaker Andre Noble, tasted this bottle of wine with a pilgrimage mentality, as if this bottle of wine was his belief, which made Xia Yu moved. This should be a belief passed down by a top winemaker''s family! However, I have to say that the wines that are qualified to store 228 years are definitely the best batch of quality, otherwise they would not be able to stay now. After more than two hundred years of precipitation, it is difficult to say whether the taste of the wine has passed the peak period, but the entrance is soft, the taste is quite full, and the aftertaste is long and the depth is quite outstanding. Xia Yu feels much better than the 1787 Lafite taste. Up! After lunch, Xia Yu left Andre Noble and gave him an order that all the wines before 1900 were kept tightly sealed, and no one could take a bottle without his order. Then the 1945 batch will no longer be sold. He will arrange for someone to be responsible for the specific operation. When leaving, Xia Yu took out a list of the wines he was going to take away, and asked Andr¨¦ Noble to pack the wines. After a while, he would send someone over to use a civilian helicopter. take away. The 1,000 bottles of wine on this list will be divided into four batches and shipped to London, Paris, San Francisco, and Hong Kong, of which 600 bottles will be shipped to Hong Kong. Because aged wine is most afraid of shaking, Xia Yu intends to transport it by air, even the distance from Burgundy to Paris is transported by civilian helicopter. For this batch of wine, what a little shipping is worth! Within two days after returning home, George Berkeley reported to him the results, and Chateau Latour was wholly bought for 120 million pounds. For Chateau Latour, Xia Yu¡¯s attitude is even more different, because compared to the average annual output of Chateau Latour 6,000, the annual output of Chateau Latour is as high as 200,000, which is suitable for Romani ¡¤ Kandi''s lower high-end market. Therefore, Chateau Latour will be the main force in selling high-end red wine. Therefore, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to transfer all the equity of Chateau Latour to the French Bright Fund, and then immediately notified Alain Chevalier that Chateau Latour was incorporated into the lvmh group. As a wine giant, lvmh Group not only needs to occupy a major position in the mid-range market, but also needs to have high-quality wines to enhance brand value. Chateau Latour, as the second of the five famous chateaus on the left bank of Bordeaux, is fully qualified! I still remember that in the previous life in 1998, under the leadership of Bernard Arnold, the lvmh Group took a high price in the White Horse Chateau. Although the White Horse Chateau is also one of the top ten famous chateaus in France, it is still slightly inferior to the Chateau Latour. What''s more, the difference between simply investing in shares and wholly owning a top-tier famous dealer! Although it is a merger, Chateau Latour is still produced independently, but will be incorporated into the company in terms of sales and operations. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very simple matter to only merge from the equity in advance. Although the Vuitton family can no longer interfere with the decision-making of the lvmh group, Alain Chevalier also respected them and convened an interim board of directors. Although pure stock mergers and acquisitions will once again reduce their own shareholding ratio, considering that they have lost management rights, the Vuitton family also expressed support for the incorporation of top quality assets such as Chateau Latour into the group. After the Bright Fund came up with the purchase contract, the value of Chateau Latour was calculated based on the purchase price. One hundred and twenty million pounds, after conversion based on real-time exchange rates, is 1.292 billion francs. Lvmh Group acquired Latour Chateau by way of purely additional shares. The original value of Lvmh Group was 8.8 billion francs, with a total share capital of 100 million shares and a single share value of 88 francs. Therefore, the company issued 14.7 million new shares to Bright Fund. All the shares of UU Reading Latour Chateau were transferred from Bright Fund to lvmh Group, and the value of lvmh Group soared to 100 92 million francs, finally breaking through the tens of billions mark! After the completion of the private placement of mergers and acquisitions, the total share capital of the lvmh group is 114,700,000 shares, and the Bright Fund holds 105.23 million shares of the lvmh group, accounting for 91% of the total share capital The ratio of 74 to 74 has increased by 1.21%. The Vuitton family¡¯s shareholding ratio dropped from 8.9% to 7.76%. The hidden Henry Rigamer¡¯s shareholding ratio dropped from 0.568% to 0.495%. After the acquisition of Chateau Latour, Xia Yu still felt that the lvmh group needed to continue to strengthen. It just so happens that Bright Fund''s acquisition plan for the Bussac Group is progressing very smoothly. Wait until Wednesday, February 24, when the strike of the Busac Group intensifies. The market value of the Bussac Group fell to around 310 million francs. Bright Fund, a major shareholder with a 5% shareholding ratio, suddenly began to aggressively absorb stocks in the stock market without any concealment. After the news spread, Bright Fund had already taken in a large amount of equity and increased its shareholding ratio to 7.5%. The Bosac Group¡¯s stock price also began to rise. By the end of the afternoon, the stock price had risen by 26.4% from the opening price in the morning, a significant increase, and the market value was fixed at 392 million francs. But just as many stockholders and certain institutions were analyzing the purpose of the Bright Fund¡¯s actions, those who were still staying at the Paris Stock Exchange were shocked by the sudden news. PS: Ask for a ticket v3 Chapter 1108: Nicknamed "Shadow Assassin" Bright Fund suddenly disclosed that it had acquired a total of 45.3% of the shares of the Busac Group from outside the market, plus the original 5% of the shares, and the 2% acquired today. Point five equity. The Guangming Fund¡¯s shareholding in the Bussac Group has increased to 52.8%, and the equity is more than half! This news is simply shocking! There were people who were analyzing the purpose of the Guangming Fund, but now they are still analyzing the ass. The purpose of the Guangming Fund is the lice on the monk''s head-clearly. Bright Fund is ready to acquire Bussac Group! Many institutions are gearing up to mobilize funds in advance, ready to intervene in stock raising after the stock market opens tomorrow, and get a little money from the Bright Fund. Of course, there are also many institutions that are unmoved. These institutions are former shareholders who have previously sold their equity to Bright Fund. Naturally, they know that Bright Fund has absolute certainty before they will be exposed. It''s too late to enter now! really. In the next morning, the Paris Stock Exchange had not yet opened. Bright Fund again disclosed its equity. A total of three private acquisitions were completed from yesterday afternoon to this morning. The number of shares acquired in the three acquisitions was 4.9%, 4.8% and 4.5% respectively! In fact, these three equity shares were previously hidden in other unaffiliated shell companies, and the proportions of all of them were less than 5% without disclosure. Now they are giving ammunition to the Bright Fund at one time. Overnight, the shareholding ratio of Bright Fund increased from 52.8% to 67%! The familiar scene appeared again. Bright Fund, as the absolute controlling shareholder of the Bussac Group, applied to the Paris Stock Exchange for suspension of trading, which was approved by the exchange. Investors who were prepared to speculate on the stocks of the Bussac Group after the opening today were suddenly dumbfounded. Sure enough, the wool of the Bright Fund is as difficult as ever! An investor complained about the Bright Fund, just like a "shadow assassin", lurking deep in the dark every time, and then suddenly violent at the right time, killing its prey with one blow. This complaint aroused the approval of many people, and soon the nickname "Shadow Assassin" spread throughout the stock exchange. ... Bright Fund Office. "Shadow Assassin?" Xia Yu muttered the word, couldn''t help but shook his head with a chuckle, and didn''t know who was obsessed with medieval fantasy and legend. Sitting across from Xia Yu, Leo Martin saw his boss shaking his head, thinking that Xia Yu didn¡¯t like the name. He reluctantly said: "Boss, we obviously bring light to investors, but now we say we are villains, we want Respond to this?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "The response is definitely necessary. This nickname is also an honor." "honor?" Leo Martin was stunned, frowning to figure out what Xia Yu meant. Xia Yu kept smiling and continued: "The shadow assassin killed the target with a single blow, doesn''t it symbolize the level of our investment banking business?" "As for the assassin is a villain hiding in the dark?" "There is another deeper explanation on our Bright Fund." "We are walking in the dark, but we are always oriented towards the light!" "We are committed to bringing light to investors, partners and society!" Leo Martin''s eyes lit up, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that the boss explained it very appropriately from this perspective. "Boss, I asked the newspapers of the Mirror Group to promote this aspect. It will definitely bring our company a huge reputation!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded in agreement. There are thousands of financial companies in Paris, but none of them has this kind of fantasy title. If the Bright Fund wears the well-known nickname "Shadow Assassin", it will definitely attract the attention of many people. With attention, it will naturally Benefits are generated continuously. As for the negative impact? There is always a way to solve it, and under the larger positive impact, a little negative impact is nothing. "Alright, Leo, complete the acquisition and split of the Busac Group as soon as possible." "At the same time, don''t forget, complete the task I previously arranged for you, and give me the complete materials as soon as possible!" Xia Yu narrowed his smile and told Leo Martin. "Ok!" The latter nodded solemnly, then said to Xia Yu before leaving the office. ... Bright Fund completed the absolute holding of the Bussac Group, and the receiving company naturally has no resistance. The employee union that is making troubles will respond to the employees'' demands after the Bright Fund announces that it needs to complete the company''s acceptance. Now the continued strike will only delay the process, and the employee union will temporarily cease to exist. Everyone is an adult, and the basics are clear. If you change your boss, you have to give the new boss some time. Moreover, Bright Fund is a famous financial giant. Some time ago, billions and billions of funds were thrown out to acquire companies. It is definitely not bad for money. Just wait and see! After joining the Bussac Group, Bright Fund, as the absolute controlling shareholder, is sufficient to unblock all instructions. The first thing, of course, is to apply for privatization and then issue a comprehensive tender offer to all shareholders. In terms of price, Bright Fund''s offer is not too dark. After all, the Bussac Group¡¯s market value was only 620 million Hong Kong dollars when the market value was at its highest. Now two-thirds of the shares are in their hands, and there are still 33% of the shares left out. Under the concern, withholding and claiming to save tens of millions of francs will not only hurt the character, but most importantly, waste time. The entire privatization process took only five days, and the remaining stocks were all repurchased. In the face of the Guangming Fund, which has absolute control, no shareholder would be whimsical and he could get the Guangming Fund. It is better to take it and get it back. Use the funds to invest in other stocks, or directly buy investment funds under the Bright Fund Company. After the completion of the privatization, statistics show that the acquisition of the entire Bussac Group cost a total of 463.53 million francs. The short gain was 46.59 million francs. So the actual expenditure cost is only 416.94 million francs. After fully holding the Bussac Group, the Bright Fund has no constraints in its actions. During the five days of privatization, the Bright Fund¡¯s team also carried out a full accounting of the Bousac Group¡¯s funds and formulated a preliminary plan. The first step is to split the perfume department directly. The whole department has a complete perfume factory from R&D to production, with a total of 1,319 workers, and also owns perfume brands such as Dior, Labs and Roc. The total assets of the perfume department are 279.5 million francs, the net assets are 96.5 million francs, and the liabilities are 183 million francs. Liabilities are directly repaid by Bright Fund in advance. After being debt-free and light, all the assets of the perfume department are net assets. Moreover, the perfume department is originally a high-quality asset within the Bussac Group. Of course, the value cannot be calculated based on the net assets alone. Then under the leadership of the Bright Fund, the lvmh group made a pure stock acquisition of the perfume department of the Busac Group. After the news came out, it caused a great impact within the Bussac Group, but the impact was positive. At least 1,319 employees in the perfume department are very excited ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The Bussac Group is a broken ship about to sink, but the lvmh Group is stronger and has a bright future After a powerful company merged into the lvmh group, they don''t need to worry about their jobs. Therefore, more than 1,000 employees in the perfume department have become the envy of other employees of the Busac Group. And because of this beginning, the Bussac Group no longer resisted the Bright Fund¡¯s asset statistics and segmentation work. Some people even looked forward to whether the change of company could have better treatment and more stable salary. On the side of the lvmh group, the perfume sales business of the Busac Group was acquired before the merger, and Alain Chevalier¡¯s attitude is also the most positive. The merger is equally unhindered. After the Bussac Group¡¯s perfume division was merged into the lvmh Group, the company¡¯s total share capital increased to 122.65 million shares, and the Bright Fund¡¯s holdings of 113.18 million shares changed from 91.74% increased to 92.28%. The Vuitton family¡¯s shareholding ratio fell again by 0.5 point to 7.26%. As for the integration work after the subsequent merger, this was Alain Chevalier''s business, and Xia Yu did not pay attention. He put his energy in another area! It is now at the end of February, and his stay in France will not be long. On the French side, it has only laid a preliminary foundation in the wine and luxury industries, and the progress is a bit slow... It''s not that he doesn''t believe in Leo Martin''s abilities, but that there are some things that he needs to be able to see the future to do in order to get the most benefit. PS: Second, ask for votes v3 Chapter 1109: Acquisition progress Before I knew it, it was March. When opening the calendar shelf on the desktop at home, Xia Yu felt like time flies. It seems that in a blink of an eye, I have been in France for more than three months... While eating breakfast while reading the newspaper leisurely, suddenly Li Wuming came over with a sealed envelope and whispered a few words in Xia Yu''s ear. Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, then opened the envelope, took out the information inside and browsed. The intelligence is sent by the snare. Generally, if there is a major event or something he has ordered to pay attention to, the snare will continuously send the information to him. This kind of secret information, combined with the news on the surface sent by Jiuding News Agency, can allow Xia Yu to have a clear context on major events around the world, so as to better formulate strategies or issue instructions. Today¡¯s intelligence is very important. The intelligence comes from New York, USA. Argentine President Galtieri led a team to visit the United States and was received by Ronald Reagan. In combination with the information received on February 16, the Argentine Foreign Minister and the British Foreign Minister negotiated in New York, and the negotiations broke down. Undoubtedly, when the negotiations broke down last time, Galtieri could not sit still and wanted to conflict with the United Kingdom, but he lacked confidence in his heart, so he hoped to get the support of the current one of the two poles of the United States, so he personally led the visit. United States. The reason for the visit is very formal. As the newly appointed president, he has not yet formally paid his respects to the United States. And Ronald Reagan also accepted Galtieri''s interview application. The specific content of the negotiation is definitely not monitored, but Xia Yu can guess it. "Galtieri seems to have forgotten that Ronald Reagan used to be an actor!" "The engineer president who has his brain full of muscles but has not been on the battlefield..." "Ha ha¡­¡­" Xia Yu chuckled lightly, then threw the information into the stove aside, watching the white paper full of information burn to ashes. "The time I can stay in France is getting less and less..." After this thought flashed in his mind, Xia Yu speeded up the breakfast a bit, and drove to the Guangming Fund after eating. ¡­¡­ After Xia Yu came to the office, Leo Martin carried the folder to report to Xia Yu. "Boss, this is the statistical list of acquisition results we have completed this month, please review it!" "Hmm! Let me see!" Xia Yu responded with a smile, and looked at it after receiving the folder. In late January, he made a list of acquisitions to Leo Martin, asking him to contact Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, apply for financial support, and use bank funds to acquire some targets. Almost forty days have passed, and the M&A department of Bright Fund has also completed many tasks. is mainly concentrated in the wine market. The French Wine Company, a large French company that produces and sells mid-to-low-end wines, acquired 21% of the shares of this private company at a cost of 142 million francs. The chief giant of the European wine retail chain industry and the world''s largest wine chain-Edfang Nicholas Co., Ltd., which is also a non-listed company. The Bright Fund acquired 29% of the equity and became its second largest shareholder , Cost 130 million francs. Aidefang Nicholas Co., Ltd. now has 285 stores, which is enough to greatly strengthen the sales of the lvmh group. Bright Fund also secretly acquired 15.4% of the Pernod Ricard Group¡¯s equity in the Pernod Ricard Group. If announced, it would be enough to make Bright Fund the largest shareholder of this listed company. The Pernod Ricard Group was established immediately after the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. The two listed companies, the Pernod Group established in 1805 and the Ricard Group established in 1932, merged in 1975. After the merger, they became The overlord of the ouzo market has a market value of more than 4.78 billion francs, which is only 1.1 billion francs lower than the Moet Hennessy Wine Group that was acquired. However, the company¡¯s equity is more dispersed than that of the Moet Hennessy Wine Group. The largest shareholder is the Lijia family, which holds 13.1% of the shares and 20% of the voting rights. The second largest shareholder is the Pernod family, which holds only 9.2% of the shares and 15% of the voting rights. Although the two major families hold a small proportion of shares, the total voting rights have a proportion of 35%, and the two families are founders, which are enough to give investors and shareholders confidence, so the company¡¯s equity is scattered. Under the circumstances, it is enough to jointly control the company. This company is chaired by the Pernod family and the Ricard family. The current chairman is Patrick Ricard of the Ricard family. Xia Yu remembers very clearly that the Pernod Ricard Group went through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and finally developed into one of the world¡¯s three largest spirits and wine groups. In 2011, the turnover exceeded 23 billion US dollars. Ranked second in the world wine industry. This company is also the focus of Xia Yu''s acquisition of Leo Martin. When the action target was determined before, the Pernod Ricard Group was once Xia Yu¡¯s primary consideration. Later, considering whether to take into account the wine industry and the luxury goods sector, or to start the lvmh group first, so temporarily the Pernod Ricard Group Put aside. However, after the establishment of the lvmh group, the plan to acquire the Pernod Ricard Group must of course be followed up immediately. As long as lvmh Group can acquire Pernod Ricard Group, then Bright Fund can occupy a leading position in the French wine market. This is a strategic goal! Of course, in addition to the three mission goals of the wine market, in the retail sector, Xia Yu also specified a mission goal, which is Carrefour. Carrefour is a household name in the world''s second largest retail company in later generations, second only to the existence of Wal-Mart. But at present, although Carrefour is the pioneer of hypermarkets, it can''t even squeeze into the top ten in the French retail market. Carrefour, which went public in 1970 after 11 years of establishment, has only exceeded 4 billion francs in market value. There is no way. The retail industry is one of the mainstream industries in society, whether in ancient or modern times. There are still many established retail giants in France that have existed for hundreds of years, and they are basically controlled by large families. The founders of Carrefour, Marcel Fournier and Louis De Frey, are both ordinary people. This is why the cumulative shareholding ratio of the two can be kept at 30% so far. People take away the company. Like the Auchan Group established by the Muriel family, it has been 100% controlled for 20 years, and it is still in the hands of the Murier family even in later generations. anyway. Now that the market value of Carrefour is low, it just reduces Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition cost. Latent for more than a month, the Bright Fund spent a total of 823 million francs and secretly acquired 19.5% of the equity of Carrefour, although most of them were ordinary shares without voting rights. But Xia Yu doesn''t care, what he likes is Carrefour''s excellent business model and future potential. Besides, the founders Marcel Fournier and Louis de Frey are not from large families. As long as the Bright Fund is allowed in, there are ways to increase their shareholdings until they finally occupy the nest. ¡­¡­ After putting down the documents, Xia Yu told Leo Martin: "Leo, the progress of the acquisition of these tasks is pretty good, but you have to let them continue to speed up the progress." "Especially the French Wine Company, Adelfang Nicolas Co., Ltd. and Pernod Ricard Group. The shares of these three companies are relatively scattered. The acquisition will not be too difficult. It must be completed by the end of March! You still have a full month. time!" "There is also Carrefour, continue to increase acquisitions!" "Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland fully support you, don''t tell me that it can''t be done!" Before Leo Martin could be happy, he heard the stern words behind Xia Yu. He shook his heart, straightened his chest and responded with a serious face: "Boss I will try my best to speed up the progress!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, just about to send him away, and suddenly remembered a piece of news that he had just read in the newspaper the other day, about a Decathlon sports store. This retailer that specializes in sporting goods has become the world''s top retailer, with annual sales exceeding 10 billion euros. But now it''s just a small company that has just been established for six years, and there are not many stores. It was just at a time of weakness. The founder Michelle Lehrek was also an ordinary person. At this time, the best time to start! He once again told Leo Martin: "Leo, there is a company called Decathlon in France, which is a retailer focusing on sports goods. The founder is Michel Lelec. Go and put this company After the acquisition, on the premise of retaining its founder, the equity can be acquired as high as possible." Leo Martin nodded obediently and said, "Okay!" "Do you have anything else?" Xia Yu glanced at Leo Martin and asked softly. "No more!" Leo Martin said decisively, shaking his head. "Boss, then I''ll go ahead!" "Go!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he picked up a newspaper next to him and read it... PS: Ask for votes on Monday Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1110: Reinforcing Rolls Royce About ten thirty in the morning, Xia Yu put on his coat and greeted Li Wuming to go out together. The purpose is Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the largest airport in France in terms of throughput. The reason why I went there was because Elena was coming to France, and she had said this when she was talking to Xia Yu yesterday. Is it really for work, or simply came to France to find him under the guise of work? Xia Yu thinks...emmmm He prefers and believes in the latter... Airport is 25 kilometers away from the center of Paris. When Xia Yu arrived, it was already eleven in the morning. He waited at the airport for about twenty minutes, watching an Airbus plane take off and land. at last! He saw Elena who was surrounded by a group of bodyguards and subordinates, and Xia Yu waved towards her. "Elena, I miss you so much!" Xia Yu embraced Elena very naturally and spoke softly. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s words, Elena¡¯s thoughts that had accumulated in her heart for several months suddenly burst out. Her eyes were sore, she whispered "I miss you so much", and she lay in Xia Yu¡¯s arms, tightly. Holding Xia Yu tightly. The bodyguards and the subordinates who followed them turned aside their eyes and ignored the boss''s personal affairs. a long time. The two people are separated. Xia Yu gently opened Elena''s hair covering her face, and looked at the beautiful face in front of her, subconsciously showing a petting smile. "Elena, let''s go home first, the airport is colder." "Ok!" After finishing speaking, Xia Yu directly took Elena''s hand into the car. On the way home, Elena was obviously much happier than during the daily call. She happily chatted with Xia Yu about what happened in London. For example, Mr. Henry, a young Chelsea fan, invited a group of students to watch football matches every weekend and declared The wisest thing I did was to take Xia Yu to watch a football match, which triggered the great changes in Chelsea... Elena''s description is very graphic, and Xia Yu''s ostentatious expression appeared in Xia Yu''s mind, and he couldn''t help smiling. But for Chelsea''s changes, Xia Yu is still very satisfied. At the beginning of December last year, Alex Ferguson came to Chelsea Football Club and built a coaching team. The original head coach was easy to get together and left with compensation. After taking office, Bright Fund followed Xia Yu¡¯s instructions and gave Xia Yu all the rights promised to Alex Ferguson. Therefore, the old Sir Alex waved his banknotes in the winter transfer market and set off a "sweeping frenzy". Shocked the entire British football scene. This behavior has made Chelsea Football Club a hated object of many clubs that have been poached, and it has also become a hateful upstart in the eyes of fans of those teams. But it doesn''t matter, as long as the fans of the Blues enthusiastically support it. In just one month, Alex Ferguson bought all the players he wanted, and at the same time reinforced the youth training team of Chelsea Football Club. even found and bought the two extremely talented young players, John Barnes and Ian Wright, whom Xia Yu had told him. Xia Yu was very satisfied after learning the news. After all, these two are the top shooters of England in later generations. As long as they are well-trained, they will be enough to display the vigorous offensive football with greater power and compete for more honors for Chelsea. The price of cabbage will buy back these two young players. Too cost-effective. Although the Blues are just a new team that hasn''t fully adapted, under the leadership of Alex Ferguson, Chelsea began to turn around, becoming more victories than losses, and out of the relegation zone in just two games. has now risen to eighth in the league score and entered the middle and upper reaches. Although it is still a little bit behind the previous teams, the offensive football that is full of highlights and the good results have reignited the passion of the fans, and the Stanford Stadium is no longer empty. Therefore, Xia Yu, the chairman of the Chinese club who saw the dragon and missed the end, also received the support of most people. ¡­¡­ After returning to Paris, the team was divided into two groups. Xia Yu took Elena back to his residence, and the employees of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group brought by Elena were sold by Rolls-Royce Motor Group France. The president of the branch is responsible for reception. After enjoying a delicious lunch, Xia Yu and Elena rested on the sofa in the living room. Elena was embraced by Xia Yu, Zhen Shou leaned on Xia Yu''s shoulder, and chatted with Xia Yu about the task of coming to France this time. "Xia Yu, now the sales of various brands and models of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group are growing rapidly. Among them, Jaguar and Morris in the mid-market basically use Michelin tires. So after the meeting and discussion, in order to reduce production Costs, we are going to re-negotiate with the French Michelin Group, and at the same time place another order with the Biol Group." Xia Yu suddenly understood. For the Michelin Group, Xia Yu is very clear that one of France''s large industrial companies today has risen rapidly in the past two decades, and it is also one of the world''s top 500 for future generations. The Michelin Group could not make it into the top ten of the global tire industry 20 years ago, but it now ranks second in the world, second only to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in the United States. I even remember that from the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, the Michelin Group has been ranked first in the world tire field, and it was not surpassed by the island country Bridgestone Tire until 2005. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly and said, "Is the negotiation sure enough?" Elena smiled and nodded and said: ¡°It¡¯s quite certain to talk about lower prices. Now our Rolls-Royce Motor Group is the largest car manufacturer in the UK, and the cars we have produced are popular in the world in the past two years, so we are The Michelin Group¡¯s super-large customers rely on huge purchases to suppress prices." "However, the Michelin Group now has an increasing market share and a higher profile. It will be more difficult to reduce prices." A look of thought flashed across Xia Yu''s face. He didn''t ask about the Michelin Group anymore, instead he asked about the situation of the Biot Group. For the Michelin Group, Xia Yu is very clear, but for the Biol Group, he is not very familiar with it. He only remembers that this company was a solution provider for the world''s top automotive shopping malls in later generations. What is the detailed situation now? do not know much. "Elena, what about Biol Group?" Elena said softly: ¡°The Biol Group is a supplier of automotive body modules, automotive fuel systems and waste container solutions, providing products and services to automotive manufacturers and government agencies. Although this company has only been established for more than 30 years, Their technology and service are very distinctive." "The last time Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Biol Group cooperated, their solutions were highly recognized by the company''s engineering team, so this time I plan to deepen our cooperation with them." Xia Yu knew these two companies in his heart, and then said to Elena: "Elena, let me put aside the cooperation. I will let someone investigate it before deciding how to cooperate. " "These days, I will show you around in Paris!" Elena was taken aback, and then smiled brightly. She knew Xia Yu very well that the man in front of her became interested in these two companies. Anyway, the company is his own, just let him arrange it. Elena smiled slightly, she felt expectation in her heart, and nodded obediently and responded softly: "Yeah!" Elena''s obedient and obedient appearance made Xia Yu''s heart hot. He couldn''t help but think of the more and more open topics he talked with Elena on the phone during this period. Now that the beauty is in her arms, no one disturbs... "Elena..." "Ok?" "Well¡­¡­" ¡­¡­ Early the next morning Xia Yu got the detailed information about Michelin Group and Biot Group submitted by Leo Martin. After reading it, Xia Yu decisively called George Berkeley in London and asked him to arrange for the bank to make arrangements with the French Bright Fund and Rolls-Royce Motor Group to immediately acquire the shares of these two companies and assist Rolls. Les Motor Group has become one of the major shareholders of these two companies, facilitating subsequent negotiations and cooperation. After giving the order, the team of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars group who followed Elena was idle, and had business exchanges in the Paris branch, and readjusted the cooperation plan by the way. And the next time, Xia Yu indeed took Elena to go shopping in Paris as said. All the attractions in Paris left Elena¡¯s laughter, and Xia Yu¡¯s intimate photo with Elena. Xia Yu even took Elena to Burgundy and Bordeaux to see her two wine estates and enjoy Have a romantic candlelight dinner. until March 15th. only in Elena''s regretful mood, ended a short romantic trip for half a month. PS: Second, ask for more votes Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1111: Foundation in France Early this morning, Xia Yu brought Elena to the company. Leo Martin had already been waiting there. After seeing Xia Yu and Elena, Leo Martin greeted him immediately. Although I felt that Elena was amazing again, Leo Martin did not dare to offend at all. He looked at Xia Yu without squinting, and asked him. Report to work. "Boss, this is the progress list of all the tasks you assign." Xia Yu nodded slightly, glanced at Elena, and said to Leo Martin: "Leo, you read them all." "Ok!" Leo Martin was taken aback, and immediately returned to his mind to respectfully respond, and then he reported clearly. "Boss, in the past half month, we were the first to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of Adelfang Nicholas Co., Ltd., plus the previous costs, which cost a total of 532 million francs." "The shareholding ratio in the French wine company has increased to 56.7%. Now a comprehensive tender offer has been issued to all shareholders, and the progress is fairly smooth..." "For Pernod Ricard Group, our acquisition plan has been exposed, but we have also made breakthrough progress. We bought all the shares held by the Pernod family, the second largest shareholder, and now our shareholding ratio has reached 100%. 59.9/9, and issued a comprehensive tender offer." "Currently, we are acquiring stocks in the hands of other institutions. At the same time, we are trying our best to persuade them to agree to the company''s merger with the lvmh group. Now that the Liga Group is no longer in conflict, we are continuing to negotiate. As long as the Liga family can agree, then we You can control the delisting of Pernod Ricard Group." "However, the exposure of the news caused the Pernod Ricard Group''s share price to skyrocket. At the close of the market yesterday, the market value had reached more than 6.38 billion francs, which also greatly increased our acquisition costs." "As of yesterday, we have spent 3.354.4 million francs in the acquisition of Pernod Ricard Group." "As for Carrefour, we bought the shares held by three shareholders, and also acquired some shares in the stock market. Now we hold a total of 43.7% of the shares in Carrefour because we have not The shareholdings are concentrated together, so the full-scale takeover offer line has not been touched. So far, the total cost has been 2.316 billion francs." "The Decathlon company that you asked me to buy, we purchased with an investment of 5 million francs, and an additional capital of 16 million francs, for a total of 21 million francs, and we obtained 70% of Decathlon¡¯s equity. Michelle Lehreck continues to serve as the company''s president." "We assisted Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in acquiring a 15.1% stake in the Michelin Group at a cost of 1.215 billion francs." "Assisted Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group in acquiring 20% ??of the equity of Biol Group at a cost of 385 million francs." "Boss, this is all the situation." After speaking, Leo Martin put down the materials and looked at Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu touched his chin and thought for a moment, and said to Elena: "Elena, the equity of Michelin Group and Biol Group is enough to support the role of strategic cooperation. In the afternoon, people from the company can talk about cooperation." "Ok!" "The Rolls-Royce Motor Group becomes the major shareholder of these two companies, and it will definitely be able to get the best price." Elena said with a happy smile. Xia Yu smiled back, then put his gaze on Leo Martin, and told him: ¡°Leo, Carrefour¡¯s equity is enough to stop it, but Pernod Ricard and French Wine Company, you The acquisition must be completed within the next half month." "Don''t delay any longer, it doesn''t matter if you increase the purchase price, continue to delay, the purchase cost will be higher!" "Understand! Guarantee to complete the task!" Leo Martin responded decisively. "Go ahead, come on!" After Leo Martin left, Xia Yu and Elena went to the French branch of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars together, listened to their cooperation plan, and made some instructions. The negotiations were led by Elena personally. Xia Yu wanted Elena not to go, but Elena refused. Xia Yu could only tell her not to be so stressed. ¡­¡­ In the next few days, news about the Bright Fund flew all over the sky, and the popularity of the Bright Fund skyrocketed again. When many people mention Bright Fund, their first impression is that this company is strong, and their second impression is that it is too rich! A dazzling series of mergers and acquisitions not only blinded the people who eat melons, but also shocked the peers. The amount of funds in the Bright Fund is too strong. According to statistics from people who are interested, the Bright Fund has spent at least 15 billion francs since January! The total assets of many financial companies in Paris are not so much, but the Bright Fund has just spent so much in a short period of time. Waiting until March 19, Xia Yu once again received secret information from the net. Intelligence showed that a group of scrap metal merchants hired by the Argentine authorities forcibly landed on South Georgia Island, 1,390 kilometers east of Falkland Islands. They set up a camp on South Georgia Island and raised the Argentine flag. Seeing this piece of information, Xia Yu suddenly felt relieved. The muscular engineer president of the Argentine military government did not disappoint him! After obtaining this information, Xia Yu also put a plan to return to London on the agenda. Knowing that the boss is about to leave France, Leo Martin''s pressure has increased sharply, and his work enthusiasm has exploded again. He hopes that before the boss leaves France, the tasks assigned by the boss can be put to a satisfactory end to prove his ability. Sure enough, until March 21, the French wine company was acquired by the Bright Fund, and the acquisition was completely unimpeded. Until March 35, the four companies, lvmh Group, French Wine Company, Pernod Ricard Group and Adventist Nicolas Co., Ltd., completed the paper merger in the eyes of the public, and the news was held by the lvmh group. The press conference announced that continued mergers on the actual level, such as integration between similar departments, will take a long time to complete. This is the business of Alain Chevalier and Leo Martin. After the merger, the total assets of the lvmh group exceeded 20 billion francs in one fell swoop, and the company''s valuation reached 190 billion francs. After the merger, the total share capital of the lvmh group soared to 216.37 million shares, and the Bright Fund held 196.93 million shares, accounting for 91.0% of the total share capital. One, it is one point lower than before the merger, but more than 90% of the equity is still enough to make Bright Fund the supreme master of the lvmh group. The second largest shareholder of the lvmh group has become the Lijia family, holding 4.61%. The original second largest shareholder, the Vuitton family¡¯s shareholding ratio was 4.1%, not much less than that of the Liga family. Before leaving France, Xia Yu decided to visit Fran?ois Mitterrand again and bid farewell to him. ¡­¡­ "Xia Yu, can I wear this dress?" At Xia Yu''s house, Elena wore a luxurious and beautiful dress, turned around in front of Xia Yu, looking expectantly at Xia Yu. Xia Yu exclaimed: "Of course, this dress fits perfectly with your figure. It really is my princess, always so charming!" A blush appeared on Elena''s face, and she happily said, "Then I will wear this suit." "Ok!" "It''s getting late, let''s go!" "Ok!" After speaking, Xia Yu took Elena''s hand and got in the back of the Rolls-Royce after going out. There were guard cars at the front and back to protect the car Xia Yu was sitting in. The motorcade slowly drove away from Xia Yu''s luxurious villa in the afterglow of the setting sun. About twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at Fran?ois Mitterrand''s home. Fran?ois Mitterrand, who had been notified in advance, walked out of the room to greet Xia Yu. When Xia Yu got off the car, and gentlemanly took out a beautiful girl from the car, Fran?ois Mitterrand said in surprise: "Mr. Xia, don''t introduce me to this beautiful lady. ?" "Mr. Mitterrand, this is my girlfriend Elena!" Xia Yu gave Elena a gentle look, and said generously. Elena did not expect Xia Yu to introduce herself as his girlfriend in front of the French President. She was unprepared and was stunned by this huge surprise. Endless sweetness rose in her heart. However, he is a lady of everyone, etiquette and education have penetrated into her soul. With a happy smile on her face, she said hello to Fran?ois Mitterrand politely: "Mr. Mitterrand, hello, I am Ai Linna Howard, from Norfolk, England, it¡¯s an honor to meet you!" Fran?ois Mitterrand responded with a smile: "Hello, beautiful Ms. Elena." "Mr. Xia, I am a little jealous of you for being able to have such a noble and beautiful partner!" He joked to Xia Yu again. Xia Yu smiled, and said jokingly: "Mr. Mitterrand, I am also jealous of you ~ www.novelhall.com~ spent with your wife in the flames of war, and have been loving until now." "Haha..." Fran?ois Mitterrand couldn''t help showing a knowing smile. He glanced at the boxes that Xia Yu''s bodyguard had brought out from the trunk of the car, and asked, "Mr. Xia, did you also bring gifts?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Bringing some small gifts, I just bought the Romanie Conti and Latour wineries some time ago, and found that there are many good wines with vintages in them. I thought that good things need to be with good friends. Some share, so I will bring you some." Fran?ois Mitterrand''s eyes lit up and he said to Xia Yu: "I haven''t drunk top wines yet, so I think I can enjoy it tonight." "Mr. Xia, thank you for your kindness!" "Let''s enter the house!" Then, Xia Yu and others walked into the house. And boxes of wine were moved into the house by Fran?ois Mitterrand''s guards and Xia Yu''s bodyguards. That night, the atmosphere in the house was very harmonious, with laughter and laughter coming out from time to time... Early the next morning, Xia Yu and Elena boarded the plane returning to London. PS: First, ask for a vote Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1112: Because I love you! (It is recommended to calm down and read this chapter carefully) After returning to London, Xia Yu clearly felt that Elena had changed. It seems that it was because he said outside for the first time that he was his girlfriend, especially in front of a person like the French president, which gave Elena an invisible transformation. She became more confident, more charming, smiles on her face increased, and she did not deliberately hide it in the company. This change is undoubtedly good for Elena. But when Xia Yu was happy, there was a trace of worry in his heart. On the third day of returning to London, Xia Yu was reading a newspaper and saw an article that disturbed his mood. He was a little upset and couldn''t help but walk on the roof of the Guangming Fund headquarters, hoping to calm himself down. . Holding the newspaper in his hand, he stood with his hand held and looked at the tall buildings in the distance. The breeze from the heights gradually flew out of the sky with his thoughts, and he began to think about how to deal with his feelings in the future. Compared to those dudes, Xia Yu prides himself on being very restrained. It is not the kind of animal that is dominated by the lower body with white pulp in his head, and he has not become a human-shaped self-propelled gun. But he still has more than one girlfriend. But whether it''s Li Qian, He Chaoqiong or Elena, the three girls dealt with him sincerely. In Xia Yu''s view, all beings are equal in terms of emotion, and it has nothing to do with being poor or rich. Therefore, Xia Yu can be said to be sincere about the feelings of these three girls. Being together with Li Qian originated from an accident. The kidneys were taken first and then the heart was taken. Zhang Ailing¡¯s words also fully confirmed Li Qian¡¯s love for Xia Yu. This weak girl with a miserable life background made Xia Yu unwilling to take care of her, and she was reluctant to hurt her, and she was willing to sacrifice for him, and Xia Yu cherished it even more. As for He Chaoqiong, this is a girl who dares to love and hate. Her feelings for Xia Yu are as sincere as jade, and she even rebelled against her parents. Xia Yu is not hard-hearted, how can she not be moved? Maybe he had the idea of ??using the power of the He family to rise at first, but it only appeared for a while, and then slowly faded away. On the contrary, the attitude of the snobbish gambling king that has been blocking has reversed and actively pushed his daughter towards him. In his arms. Since He Chaoqiong''s parents are not opposed, He Chaoqiong himself is willing to accept the present and future life, and Xia Yu really likes her, how can he push her away? And Elena? I also knew it because of fate. Xia Yu didn''t take the initiative to pursue her, but it did incorporate other factors. Elena knew this well, and Xia Yu knew Elena as well. It¡¯s just that no matter how they met in the first place, in the end the hearts of the two keep getting closer because of their sincere feelings. Having a heterogeneous Duke father makes Elena very independent since she was a child, and her concept is different from the children of the common British aristocracy. She has her own opinions on feelings. So although she didn¡¯t know it at the beginning, she knew that Li Qian and Xia Yu had a relationship. Relationship, after thinking about it for a period of time, Elena still kept in touch with Xia Yu, and slowly grew in love with each other, and when the love grew stronger, the two hearts naturally met. Therefore, in Xia Yu''s long-standing concept, these three girls are right. One is to blame fate for allowing them to meet him, and the other is to blame himself. Blame his heart is big enough, his heart is not a bungalow, but a luxurious castle, there are a lot of rooms in the castle, enough to accommodate more people... The wind on the rooftop was a bit strong, blowing Xia Yu''s hair into a mess, and also blowing his eyes a little dry, making him take back his thoughts of flying to the sky. "It seems that I am already twenty years old this year..." "The youngest Chao Qiong is also twenty years old, Elena is twenty-four years old, and Cici is twenty-five years old..." A thought suddenly flashed in Xia Yu''s mind, and a touch of sadness appeared between his brows. "They must be looking forward to the love and wedding I give them..." "Marriage?" "Love?" The thoughts that had just been taken back were brought to the infinite sky by these two words. "Marriage is a system, an economic relationship, and a guarantee for raising children." "And love is a kind of faith, a kind of primitive power, and a heroic dream in a tired life." "Huh..." For a long time, he sighed slightly, and a touch of firmness flashed in his eyes. "I am destined to be unable to give them a perfect marriage." "But I can give them unlimited love!" "Nothing can restrain me...including the law!" After thinking about it, Xia Yu looked at the newspaper in his hand and quickly scanned the article again. He smiled and threw the newspaper on the ground. He exuded an indescribable temperament. It is more appropriate to use a term that is not "free and easy". "Hahaha..." Xia Yu laughed a few times and walked towards the top of the stairs with his head high. After Xia Yu left, there was a sudden gust of wind on the rooftop, and the local newspaper was rolled up by the wind, flipping and swaying constantly in the air, and finally one fell on the roadside bench. And on the bench there happened to be an old couple who was tired and sat there to rest. The old man picked up the newspaper on the bench, looked up and looked around, and said to his wife: "I don''t know who throws the object at high altitude. This is too dangerous. Fortunately, it''s just a newspaper!" "Maybe the wind blows up?" The old woman with a kind smile on her face softly defended the stranger. "Perhaps!" The old man shrugged and looked at the old woman with tender eyes. He picked up the newspaper and folded it a few times, ready to put it in the bag and throw it away when he encountered the trash can. Suddenly, he who likes philosophy saw a familiar name on it, and he couldn''t help but look at it closely. After reading it, he subconsciously looked at the lover beside him, with a happy smile on his face again. "What''s wrong? Is there any big news on it?" The old woman who had been waiting quietly for her husband to finish reading the newspaper asked softly. "It''s an interesting story. You can read it clearly without glasses. I''ll read it to you!" The old man said softly. "Hmm!" The old woman nodded slightly and moved closer to her husband. The old man read the story softly to his wife while reading the newspaper. One day, Plato asked his teacher, what is love? How can I find it? Teacher ¡¡¡¡ replied: "There is a big wheat field ahead. You walk forward and cannot turn back, and you can only pick one. If you find the golden wheat ears, you will find love." Plato walked forward, and after a short walk, he turned his head back, empty-handed, and could not pick anything. Teacher ¡¡¡¡ asked him: "Why can''t you pick it?" Plato said: "Because I can only pick it once, and I can''t turn my head back. I found the golden wheat ears, but I didn''t know if there was a better one, so I didn''t pick it. Going further, all the wheat ears I saw were It¡¯s not as good as the previous one, and it turned out to be nothing." Teacher ¡¡¡¡ said: "This is love." Another day, Plato asked his teacher, what is marriage? How can I find it? Teacher ¡¡¡¡ replied: "There is a very lush forest in front of you. You can move forward and cannot turn back. You can only chop down a barley. If you find the tallest and largest tree, you will know what marriage is." Plato walked forward, and after a while, he cut a tree and returned. This tree is not lush, nor is it tall, but an ordinary tree. "Why do you only find such an ordinary tree?" the teacher asked him. Plato replied: "With the last experience, I walked halfway into the forest, still empty-handed. At this time, I saw this tree and thought it was not too bad, so I cut it down and brought it back so I didn''t miss it." Teacher ¡¡¡¡ replied: "This is marriage." ¡­¡­ After the old man finished reading, the old woman looked up at him and suddenly asked something she had known all along but had never asked in her life: "Did you first stay with me because of marriage or love?" The old man was silent. For a long time, he stroked his wife''s silver hair The muddy eyes of the past became brighter and sincere than ever before at this moment. He looked into his wife¡¯s eyes and apologized softly: ¡°My dear, I¡¯m sorry, I pursued you because of my parents¡¯ orders, because being with you can make my brothers and sisters live better, I lied to you forever.¡± Then he took his wife''s hand to his heart, and said sincerely: "But after being with you, I found that I found true love. You are the angel of my life! I am willing to take care of my life. You! I love you!" The old woman suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, I knew it from the beginning." The old man subconsciously asked: "Then why are you willing to..." Speaking of this, the old man suddenly woke up and didn''t continue to speak. But the old woman showed a knowing smile, tightly holding her husband''s old but warm hand, and said the answer her husband already knew: "Because, I love you." The old man¡¯s eyes were a little moist, he did not speak, and gently hugged his wife into his arms. The passers-by looked at the two old people who were envious, but at the same time they subconsciously relaxed their steps, not willing to disturb them at this moment...

(Unity, victory is our goal. ¡­¡­ As the ball rushed into the net bag of the Birmingham team, the Stamford Bridge stadium suddenly burst into cheers and shouts! Then, all Chelsea fans got up and sang the team song. The whole stadium became a sea of ??joy. The Birmingham fans hold their heads with a frustrated face, and cannot accept this fact. Some fans can¡¯t stand it and leave the stadium... Today¡¯s Birmingham team¡¯s away game against Chelsea, the Blues, under the command of Alex Ferguson, had an aggressive offensive, which gave the fans a hearty match. There are only five minutes left before the end of the game. Although the Birmingham team tried to save their face with a low score, they still couldn''t stop it. At the last minute, the Blues scored the goal again. In the end, the score was fixed at 5-1! With the end of this game, the Blues can be ranked seventh in the league! The reason why the Blues are so crazy in this game is because this game is the first time the big boss has come to watch the game in person since the team was reinvented. Therefore, whether it is Alex Ferguson or the players, they are all working hard to prove themselves. On the special viewing stage, Xia Yu and Elena stood together, beside Henry and his classmates. Xia Yu said to Alex Ferguson in front of him: "Coach Ferguson, I like your gift very much!" "Leave the team to you, I didn''t see the wrong person!" Alex Ferguson was full of smiles on his face, and said modestly: "Boss, it''s all because of your huge amount of money that you can bring so many talented players to the team. This is your credit!" Xia Yu smiled and said affirmatively: "Without you, I have money and can''t spend it!" Alex Ferguson smiled even more. "Boss, the game is over, are you going to meet the players?" "Of course, most of them don''t know me. It''s okay to meet me!" "Xia Yu, I want to go too, I want them to sign!" Henry, who was sitting by the side, couldn''t sit still, got up and said, looking at Xia Yu expectantly. Xia Yu looked at Henry and his classmates and found that they were all looking forward to it, but he was embarrassed to speak out like Henry. Xia Yu laughed, nodded and said: "Henry, come with your classmates!" "Wow!" Suddenly, Henry''s classmates cheered, and the happy mood of these loyal little fans also infected Xia Yu, Elena and others. The players all respect Xia Yu, the mysterious and rich boss, and Xia Yu didn''t put on any airs, shook hands with them one by one and encouraged them. Then he left Henry and others to interact with the players, while he took Elena and went to the balcony with Alex Ferguson. "Coach Ferguson, it is now April, and there is still more than a month before the end of the league. Do you estimate that by the end of the league, how many places will Chelsea reach in the league standings?" Xia Yu looked at the fans in the distance, and asked casually as if chatting between friends. Alex Ferguson was lost in thought, and based on the schedule of more than a month later and the strength of each team, he made a conservative estimate. "Boss, if our team is in good condition and there are no accidents such as injuries, after the end of the season, it should be ranked between fifth and sixth." "There is no way for the top three, because our team is still in the running-in period, and some problems have been discovered in the past few months. We need to wait for the summer transfer window to open for reinforcement and adjustment." "In the first half of the season, our results were too bad. We were scored by the top teams. Even if we have not yet won the game, we will not be in the top three." "But I have the confidence to chase the league championship in the next season!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "The pits dug in the last half of the season have nothing to do with you. The team''s results have been good since you took office." "The next season is when we Chelsea will truly show off." "When you transfer in the summer, you will find a way to reinforce the team. I still have that attitude. As long as you think you need players, you can buy them. You don''t need to consider the funds!" Alex Ferguson smiled and nodded, thanking him: "Thank you boss, I will not let you down!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, after thinking about it, he said to Alex Ferguson: "Coach Ferguson, there is a player. I hope you can bring his talent to Chelsea. With him, your tactics will be maximized. Execution!" Alex Ferguson was startled, and a deep curiosity arose in his heart. Who on earth can get such high praise from the boss? He doesn¡¯t doubt the boss¡¯s vision, because John Barnes and Ian Wright, the two bosses in the youth training team, have specifically asked him to dig up the strikers. They have shown strong talents. Football is highly creative and a talented striker. Especially the older John Barnes, he has already planned to take him to the home team to play in League One next season. Now that the boss has given a player a higher evaluation than John Barnes and Ian Wright, there is a sudden excitement in his heart. "Boss, which player is it?" Xia Yu''s eyes were a little surprised, and he smiled and said, "Argentine player, Diego Maradona." Yes, what Xia Yu said is Maradona, the famous ball king of later generations! Alex Ferguson was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "I know him. This is the most talented player in Argentina. He led the Argentina team to the Youth Football Championship five years ago and became Argentina four years ago. The youngest top scorer in the history of the First Division!" "Now the player is only 22 years old, and there are already many teams that want to bring his talent to Europe, including the Milan duo, Barcelona and Real Madrid." "Boss, shall we also participate in the competition?" Speaking, Alex Ferguson suddenly felt very nervous. Because he knows how amazing the talent of this Argentina player is And the South American player will not be inconsistent in Europe and will definitely be able to make a difference. But Diego Maradona''s challenge will be super difficult. Compared with those traditional giants, Chelsea does not have an advantage in reputation. And the transfer price will be extremely high! But if the boss wants... Xia Yu smiled and said, "It seems that you also recognize his talent!" "Then he must be brought to Chelsea, no matter who the competitors are!" "I am ready to create a transfer record in European football!" The boss has said everything, Alex Ferguson said in surprise: "Boss, please rest assured, I will bring him to Chelsea!" Xia Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, everything is silent. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu and Elena left the club with Henry and others in an excited mood. ¡­¡­ On April 2nd, a piece of news ignited the emotions of the British people, and the whole British community was angry. Argentina announces to the world that it has recovered the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands and has captured the British governor who is based alive! Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1114: Roll in all directions! In fact, due to Xia Yu¡¯s early warning, the British government is fully prepared in this life compared with the incredible after being attacked in the previous life. For example, the British military has stored a large amount of war equipment at the base of Ascension Island, which is 5,600 kilometers away from Falkland Islands, and the military base on South Georgia Island, which is 1,300 kilometers away from Falkland Islands. It can even be said that the British military has done countless deductions a long time ago, waiting for Argentina to take action, ready to seize this opportunity to show off British muscles. Trying to give a sigh of relief to the United Kingdom, which is declining in global influence! So after Argentina issued an announcement to the world, the British government responded extremely quickly. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher held a grand press conference for the first time, personally announcing the severance of diplomatic relations with Argentina, at the same time forming a wartime cabinet, and issued a series of orders without any cover! In the afternoon, the Royal Navy, which had no large aircraft carriers, formed two small aircraft carriers Invincible and Competitive God to form a task force. They set sail from Portsmouth, carrying the anger and determination of the British people. To the Atlantic. Four nuclear submarines at the base of Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean also sailed towards Falklands at full speed. In addition, many British warships participating in NATO exercises in Gibraltar also sailed to the theater. This formation will rendezvous with the aircraft carrier formation in the Atlantic Ocean. After the convergence, there are 21 combat ships, 20 Sea Harrier fighters, and 58 Helicopters of various types, 3,500 Marines. On April 3, before the British troops arrived on the Falklands, the British government made a strong announcement to the world, declaring the two hundred nautical miles around Falklands to be a "maritime restricted zone." All Afghan warships and auxiliary ships entering the area All ships will be attacked. The British army¡¯s approach of warning Argentina in advance before arriving in the war zone is undoubtedly extremely arrogant and domineering, and completely ignores Argentina. This greatly stimulated the inspection on the Falklands and was praised as a ¡°national hero¡±. "The Argentine President Galtieri. Galtieri is also a violent temper. He directly claimed that Argentina is capable of defending the national territorial integrity and sovereignty, and any invaders will be defeated by heroic Argentine fighters! In less than two days, the contradiction between Britain and Afghanistan broke out without even fighting, and embarked on the road of war. The whole world was shocked and cast their sights on the small island in the South Atlantic. And Xia Yu, who was watching TV at his home in London, couldn''t help smiling expectantly after seeing the news. I don¡¯t know how many days will it take for Britain, which is fully prepared, to defeat Argentina in this life? ¡­¡­ Then the entire British public opinion was dominated by the news of the Falklands War. The news from the major newspapers under Xia Yu, which are well prepared, is the most timely and detailed. The readers didn''t notice it at first, but the news was very timely for several days and the quality was higher than that of other newspapers. This caused British people to subscribe to relevant newspapers, which caused the sales of newspapers controlled by the Bright Fund to increase sharply. Not only the United Kingdom, but in other European countries, newspapers controlled by the Bright Fund also use the high-quality news channels of Jiuding News Agency to compete for the market. On April 5, the British nuclear submarine formation began to implement a blockade after arriving in the theater. On April 6, the British fan-hunting patrol aircraft arrived in the theater and began patrolling. On April 9, the vanguard of the British fleet, which had been fully supplied, arrived in the theater. On April 15, the British Task Force entered the waters of the Falkland Islands and deployed. Because the Ascension Island base and the South Georgia Island base have always had sufficient combat preparation materials, a lot of material transfer and base construction time have been saved. Sufficient aerial tankers and sufficient fuel deployed at the South Georgia base also enable British combat aircraft to navigate the Falklands airspace for a long time. only thirteen days! The British army completed the deployment of a sea and air blockade on the Falkland Islands, which is half the earth and thousands of miles away. This speed shocked the eyes of all countries, and many countries reassessed the strength of Britain. After the Second World War, John Bull, whose military strength has been declining, still has such a strong ultra-long-distance projectile combat capability after decades, and the displayed war mobilization and deployment capabilities are so superb! Compared with countries such as the United States, France, West Germany, and island countries, which are simply shocked, Argentina¡¯s shock is different. It can be said to be shocked! The Argentine military government is facing tremendous pressure, but in the face of the turbulent national conditions, Galtieri has not flinched and remains strong in front of the media. It''s a pity that the British army didn''t give Galte an inside. On April 16, the war finally started. The nine British strategic bombers flew over the island at 4:30 in the morning and dropped 150 bombs weighing a thousand pounds, and carried out a comprehensive attack on the two airports constructed by Argentina on the island as well as mine explosions and buildings. During the bombing, all the buildings were blown up. When the morning sun hit the island, the satellite photographed only ruins. The military buildings on the island were all destroyed, and the troops deployed on the island were also cut off. Galtieri, the commander of engineers and the president who had never been on the battlefield, woke up. But the Argentine military, which has lost its air superiority, did not give up the struggle. The main combat aircraft took off from the land airport 740 kilometers away from the Falklands. But these fighters in Argentina do not have strong endurance. They have less than 20 minutes of air control in the airspace of Falklands, and the actual combat effect is greatly reduced. But fortunately, the Argentine Air Force is all elite, and its pilots have superb combat skills, and the Argentine Air Force¡¯s standard equipment is also made in France, not weaker than the British equipment, so it even fought with the British Air Force during the First Sky War. And the Argentine Navy also deployed on a large scale, rushing to the Falkland Islands with supplies, and competing with the British Navy in the sea. And Galtieri did not forget to ask for help. He called the United States frantically, hoping to get support from the United States, but there was no response from all the calls. What Galtieri didn''t know was that Margaret Thatcher had already telephoned Ronald Reagan, and the American Atlantic geostationary satellite sent intelligence about Argentina and Falklands to the British fleet every day. Margaret Thatcher received the intelligence sent back from the battlefield and learned that Argentina relied on legal equipment to fight the British army. She immediately energized the leaders of European countries who sold arms to Argentina. On the early morning of April 17, France "cut off cooking" with Argentina, announcing that the arms export project for which the agreement had been signed had been suspended. Then West Germany, the Netherlands and other countries also issued statements to stop all strategic equipment and material transactions with Argentina. Argentina¡¯s military equipment and ammunition reserves are facing unprecedented challenges. Galtieri had to make a national speech, accusing developed countries of the joint sanctions against Argentina, and then ordered all factories across the country to be temporarily converted into military factories to produce all military Materials and equipment require workers to perform their duties and contribute to the country. The Argentine national who was excited about taking back the sovereignty of Falkland Islands half a month ago finally realized how bad the situation was this time. It is a pity that the British intelligence system has already begun to be manipulated in Argentina, causing many riots in Argentina. For a time, Argentina''s internal and external troubles were extremely serious! The scales of victory are tilting toward the British side at an extremely fast speed! Xia Yu, who has been learning about the latest situation in London, is very happy The more efficient the British military is, the faster the war ends, the more beneficial it will be to him! ¡­¡­ During this half a month in the UK, Xia Yu has not been idle either. He sorted out his assets in the UK and made many adjustments to strengthen his control and influence on companies in various fields. In his free time, he also went to see the Warwick Castle bought from the Cavendish family, and arranged renovation and repair work according to his own opinions. Afterwards, he made a special trip to the Cavendish family and visited Porter Philip Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire. He also brought some Romani Conti and Latour wines as gifts, taking this opportunity Deepen the relationship with each other. Of course, gifts will be given to Duke Porter Philip Cavendish. It is unreasonable that Duke Carter Howard, Prince Philip and Duke Ian Campbell will fall. In the face of friendship, a few precious wines are nothing. Besides, if it is reported that these big people like Romani Conti and Latour wines, it can definitely greatly enhance the reputation of Romani Conti and Latour wines in the UK. Xia Yu will also make a lot of money! PS: It¡¯s really hard to break after one chapter. Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1115: 1 series of key deployments On April 20, a news from the battlefield excited the British people. The main battleship "General Belgrano" of the Argentine Task Force was sunk by the British "Conqueror" attack nuclear submarine at a distance of 187 nautical miles from the Falkland Islands. Six other ships were also sunk, and the remaining ships fled back to Port Stanley in a panic. This result not only excited the British people, but also shocked other countries. Because this time, the British army created the first battle of a nuclear submarine sinking a surface warship after World War II. Moreover, the "General Belgrano" has a full load of 13750 tons and is the largest surface ship sunk after World War II. Its sinking caused the Argentine naval forces to withdraw from the war and sit back and watch the British army gain Domination of the sea off the Falkland Islands. When the air supremacy was suppressed, the Argentine military lost sea supremacy, leaving only the Argentine Air Force fighting alone. The Argentine garrison on Mala Island has become a turtle in the urn, waiting for the British army to strangle. It''s just that the British have not been happy for a day, but there is a bad news on the battlefield. The modern and advanced main battleship "Sheffield", which was launched by the British Navy in 1971 and costed 150 million U.S. dollars, was sunk by the Argentine Air Force, and it was actually worth only 200,000 U.S. dollars. French "Flying Fish" missile! When this news spread to France, I don¡¯t know how many French people were shocked. After the shock, they became proud. The French military also paid more attention to this air-launched main missile that had just entered service in 1979, because they knew that this missile will be used in the future. Will get a large number of orders, it is simply a pie in the sky! The French were happy, but the British were angry. The 200,000-dollar missile was exchanged for their 150 million-dollar battleship. This huge gap was simply a blow to their faces. And the missiles were made by the French, who the British hated. How to prevent the British from becoming embarrassed? Xia Yu was speechless after receiving the news, and afterwards he could only sigh the wonder of fate. After all, the British navy could not escape the disaster. The British army could have achieved a perfect victory. Now the main battleship "Sheffield" is sunk. It is destined that even if it wins, there will still be regrets! The British military, who became angry from shame, went mad, and decided to launch a general offensive against the Argentine military, trying to end the war as soon as possible and save face for the British military. In the middle of the night of April 23, the British Special Air Service Regiment took a helicopter to land at Fanning¡¯s Point on Falkland Islands. After a night of reconnaissance, vertical landing and beach landing, more than a thousand British troops "dropped from the sky" successfully occupied San Carlos. Port, forty Argentine defenders stationed in the port were wiped out. In the early morning of April 24, the British landing operation was in full swing. After the British landed, they immediately constructed defensive positions and formed an air defense firepower network with naval guns, various air defense missiles and anti-aircraft machine guns. Then the troops landed continuously through the port of San Carlos, and the troops were divided into two groups to clamp down on the port of Stanley where the Argentine army gathered, and the ground war began in the mainland of Argentina. The scale of victory is tilted towards the UK again! And just now. Xia Yu, who was returning to London from Norfolk for a break, got a message from the United States. Peter Lynch, president of Polaris Capital, wants to ask him about one thing. ¡­¡­ In the office of Xia Yu, the headquarters of Guangming Fund, City of London. Xia Yu looked at a report in his hand with a satisfied smile on his face. "Peter Lynch did not disappoint me!" Xia Yu said with a chuckle. Although he hasn''t been to the United States for over a year. But Peter Lynch perfectly executed every order he issued by remote control, and Polaris Capital also grew rapidly under his management. In the last year, Polaris Capital Co., Ltd. cooperated with the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and completed several extremely important tasks. The first is to spend 1.9 billion US dollars to buy 14.6% of the shares of General Electric, becoming one of the major shareholders of General Electric. If it''s just like this, the key is that General Electric started to walk out of the bottom after Jack Welch took over as CEO in April last year. Now the market value has risen from the trough of 13 billion U.S. dollars to 25.4 billion. Dollar. This also means that the floating profit of this equity held by Polaris Capital has reached 1.8 billion US dollars! The second result is the Coca-Cola Company. Thanks to Peter Lynch¡¯s efforts, he finally bought 25.4% of Coca-Cola¡¯s shares from the Chicago Consortium and 21.7% of the shares from the Morgan Consortium. The total cost is 930 million US dollars. But the Coca-Cola Company was freed from the struggle of the three consortia. Together with the 38.2% equity held by the British Bright Fund, Xia Yu actually owns 85.3% of The Coca-Cola Company, and the remaining equity is scattered outside. But for Xia Yu, who already has actual absolute control, the total 14.7% of the shares scattered outside of Coca-Cola are already very small without preparing to privatize Coca-Cola. Besides. Polaris Capital''s Taiwan branch has also grown rapidly. It has invested in dozens of potential companies in Taiwan, including Hon Hai, which was named by Xia Yu, and acquired 45 percent of the equity. ¡­¡­ This time, Peter Lynch¡¯s report to Xia Yu on the company¡¯s development is not the main thing. The core purpose is about an acquisition. The management of Coca-Cola Company, after many discussions, formulated a new long-term strategic development plan, and the most important thing was an acquisition. The Coca-Cola Company hopes to acquire Columbia Film Industries, one of the Hollywood giants that are currently at a trough, to open up the channel between Coca-Cola and the entertainment industry, use movies to drive Coca-Cola¡¯s sales growth, increase Coca-Cola¡¯s market exposure and improve its product image. The current CEO of Coca-Cola Company Donald Robert also gave an example, that is, all the celebrities drink Coca-Cola, and Pepsi only appears in the hands of the villain... The current market value of Columbia Pictures is only more than 370 million U.S. dollars, but if a wholly-owned acquisition is to be privatized, it is conservatively estimated that it will require 600 million U.S. dollars or more. The Coca-Cola Company itself can''t get it out, so it must be the need to issue additional stocks for mergers and acquisitions, and it also requires a large amount of capital. Because Xia Yu attaches great importance to Coca-Cola, and Polaris Capital already has a MGM film company in Hollywood, Peter Lynch is not able to make a decision, so he reports the situation to Xia Yu, hoping that he will make the decision. . "ßË...ßË...ßË......" Looking at the information in his hand, Xia Yu smiled slightly, tapping the table with his fingers rhythmically, and the information about Coca-Cola in his previous life emerged in his mind. In the past, the Coca-Cola Company also acquired Columbia Film Industries. The latter was in the hands of Coca-Cola Company, and many classic films appeared, and the company also went out of the trough. It''s just that the Coca-Cola Company''s strategic plan to use movies to substantially drive Coke sales has failed. But the Coca-Cola Company did not lose, because the Coca-Cola Company later sold the Columbia Film Industry Company to the island nation Sony Corporation for $5 billion. So now Coca-Cola is willing to buy Columbia Pictures. More importantly, Xia Yu is really not satisfied with owning only one MGM Pictures company. He hopes to occupy half of Hollywood and become the supreme king of Hollywood! Let Polaris Capital buy a Hollywood giant again, too direct, too conspicuous, and easy to cause backlash. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good way to buy Columbia Film Industries in the name of Coca-Cola, and the success rate will even be higher than that of Polaris Capital, which already owns a Hollywood giant. Even if the Coca-Cola Company does not need it in the future, it can be left-handed and right-handed. There are so many benefits, so what is there to hesitate? Of course it is approved! But at this time, Xia Yu saw Coca-Cola''s plan from the information again, and he subconsciously frowned. After calculating the time difference, it was found that San Francisco should be around nine o''clock in the morning. Xia Yu picked up the phone and called Peter Lynch''s office. After a while, the call was connected. Xia Yu said very simply: "Peter, this is Xia Yu... The company is managed very well, I am very satisfied, thanks for your hard work..." "Fully support the Coca-Cola Company to buy Columbia Pictures Industries, and strengthen the cooperation between MGM Pictures and it..." "There is another point. The decision of Coca-Cola to change the formula is wrong. I disagree. The formula of Coca-Cola is the company''s brand spirit, leading the loyalty of consumers. Changing the formula is to change the habits of all consumers and challenge their consumer beliefs. , The consequences are extremely serious, let the company use other methods to increase sales..." "Pattern!" After talking for more than ten minutes, Xia Yu hung up. In later generations, the Coca-Cola Company changed its formula in the 1980s and was even called by the New York Times as one of the most significant mistakes made by the American business community in a century. After only changing the formula for three months, angry consumers were reluctant to change back to the original formula. However, the damage caused by this process to Coca-Cola was extremely far-reaching, causing Coca-Cola¡¯s sales to drop a lot and the market for nothing. Hand over to Pepsi-Cola Company. Since Coca-Cola is now his own, how could he ignore it knowing that the management is making wrong decisions now? Even if the management doesn''t understand and is dissatisfied, Xia Yu doesn''t care, and will change if the big deal comes. He is the real controller, and his orders must be implemented! ¡­¡­ In the next few days, Xia Yu, accompanied by George Berkeley, inspected the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank. The personnel in these two banks were cleaned up again, and all the personnel belonging to the Rohill family or related personnel, whether they were senior executives or middle-level personnel, were dismissed. Before the Rothschild family was still a shareholder, Xia Yu couldn''t do it if he wanted to. Now that he has finally managed to fully control the two banks, he will naturally not hesitate. The purpose of this is to keep it secret. What''s more, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered have been dragging on for long enough. If one thing is not done quickly, it is likely to suffer heavy losses. That is, the sovereign debts to Latin American countries must be cleaned up as soon as possible! When Xia Yu previously controlled the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered, he asked George Berkeley to make statistics on the sovereign debt of these two banks against Latin American countries. Among them, the Royal Bank of Scotland holds more than US$2.23 billion in sovereign debts of Latin American countries. Standard Chartered Bank holds more than US$1.98 billion in sovereign debt to Latin American countries. It is worth mentioning that Standard Chartered Bank also holds 39% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, the largest bank in South Africa. Standard Chartered Bank of South Africa also holds more than US$670 million in sovereign debt to Latin American countries. Before Xia Yu asked Duke Carter Howard to pit the Rothschild family, plotting to sell Lloyds Bank¡¯s sovereign debt one after another, and most of them were deliberately transferred to Barclays at low prices. But Barclays Bank has always been a shareholder of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, so Xia Yu can''t do anything at all. Now that the Rohill family has been cleaned out, and the employees have also cleaned it out, then the time bomb of up to 4.2 billion US dollars held by the two banks must be thrown out as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out and the Latin American countries refused to repay their debts, Xia Yu would have to lose more than 4.2 billion US dollars! Therefore, after Xia Yu inspected the two banks and went back, he immediately called George Berkeley and the presidents of the two banks for a short meeting to clarify the work requirements. Before June, all the sovereign debts of the Latin American countries held by the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered should be cleared out and should be transferred to Barclays Bank as much as possible. Quality banks to be acquired. During the meeting, the president of Standard Chartered Bank also asked whether or not Standard Chartered Bank of South Africa should also transfer its sovereign debt. After all, Standard Chartered Bank is the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa. If the latter loses more than 670 million U.S. dollars, it is equivalent to a loss of more than 260 million U.S. dollars to the Standard Chartered Bank according to the proportion of equity. This is a big number! However, Xia Yu directly rejected the proposal of the President of Standard Chartered Bank. First, letting South Africa''s Standard Chartered Bank transfer sovereign debt will cause unnecessary risks. Secondly, Xia Yu has a plan to make the South African Standard Chartered Bank, the largest commercial bank in South Africa and Africa, suffer heavy losses. It is not a great opportunity! So after he clarified his ideas, the president of Standard Chartered Bank was pleasantly surprised and praised Xia Yu''s brilliance. After finishing the tasks of the two banks, Xia Yu was idle again. He is still in the UK, there is only one thing left! ¡­¡­ PS: Two chapters are combined into one chapter. There is no update today, I hope you will know! Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1116: Consortium comparable to a country (large On April 27th, the British army officially launched a large-scale attack on Port Stanley, and the encirclement moved toward the front near Stanley Port. And the hungry and cold Argentine army on the Malvinas Islands is also facing British attack. Although there are more than 15,000 Argentine garrisons on the Malvinas Islands, they are not all professional soldiers. Among them, at least 12,000 are temporarily convened from the country before the Argentine military. The strong labor force, that is, the temporary soldier, who told Galtieri that the British would really start an ocean war without having done it at that time? So the quality and combat effectiveness of these people can be imagined. Under the combined suppression of the British sea, land and air, the Malvinas Islands were all captured in just one day. Except for 372 people killed in the battle, the defenders were all captured. The islands were imprisoned. The original British garrison was released The news of the capture of the island was spread to the Port Stanley garrison by the British army on a big broadcast, and a psychological war of public opinion began. The effect far exceeded the homesickness songs played by the Argentine army on the British army. In addition, the Argentine army in Port Stanley was also suppressed by the three British armies, and the navy shrank and did not dare to leave the port, so the Argentine army was retreating steadily, and the high ground was attacked by the British army. On May 4, the British Navy once again assisted the Marines in launching a large-scale attack on Port Stanley. That night, British naval guns fired more than 1,300 shells. The top of Taberdang Mountain was razed to the ground. Mount William and Mount Siber, the last commanding height on the outskirts of Port Stanley, were all taken down. On May 5th, British soldiers approached the city, and the army surrounded Port Stanley, preparing to launch the final general offensive. When the bomber group took off to prepare for a strategic bombing, the troops stationed in Argentina raised the white flag at the port. The Argentine defenders surrendered! Major General Jamiri Moore, Commander of the British Ground Forces, and Major General Menende of Argentina met for negotiations. At 6 o''clock in the afternoon, the British Army surrendered to the Argentine Army and the British Army officially took over Port Stanley. Although the Port of Stanley is on the South American continent, it is actually the capital of Falkland Islands, more than 700 kilometers away from the coastline. With the capture of Port Stanley by the British, it marked the official end of the Falklands War. The British government subsequently declared victory in the "Falcony Island Guard" to the world. This news shocked the whole world. Galtieri made a desperate move to launch a war, which overwhelmed national confidence and national luck, but was defeated by Britain in only 33 days after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The damage to the Argentine nationals can be imagined. The nationalism was originally high. The domestic economic and social contradictions that were temporarily suppressed broke out again, and even more intense than before! Therefore, under the secret influence of the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, a massive anti-junta and ¡°Galtieri oustation¡± demonstration broke out in Argentina. The demonstrations began to evolve into violent actions such as beating, smashing, looting and burning. The country was in chaos. , Argentina¡¯s domestic political parties began to compete for power, and Galtieri¡¯s resignation was only a matter of time. However, Xia Yu doesn''t pay attention to these for the time being. The time he was waiting finally arrived! ¡­¡­ May 9th. After several days of busy dealing with post-war matters, Margaret Thatcher was finally able to relax a little bit. is also on this day. She hosted Xia Yu again in her office. This time, without Prince Philip to accompany, only Xia Yu and Margaret Thatcher were in the office. "Ms. Margaret, congratulations to Britain for winning the war in just 33 days! Britain has gained great prestige in the world! I don''t think any country dares to despise Britain!" Xia Yu smiled and congratulated Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher politely thanked: "Thank you!" "Thanks also to Mr. Xia for your reminder!" Hearing these words, Xia Yu was sure. Although he was very sure that Margaret Thatcher would not turn his face away from denying people, after all, there was still a trace of doubt. Now she would admit it, so that means there is talk. As for the outcome of the negotiation, it depends on how he talks with Margaret Thatcher next. Xia Yu said modestly: "Ms. Margaret, the information I provided was only helpful to the United Kingdom in terms of the time and damages at the end of the war, but the bravery and skillfulness of British soldiers was also an extremely critical factor in the victory of the war!" Margaret Thatcher smiled and said proudly in an official tone: "Our soldiers have always been the best!" "Yes!" Xia Yu answered with a smile. Then he laid an extremely important foreshadowing for the following discussions and asked: "Ms. Margaret, I heard that at the beginning of last month, the special envoy of the Sultan of Brunei came to London again to discuss the independence of the country with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Regarding the transfer of diplomatic and national defense rights, I heard that Brunei will become a completely independent country on January 1, 1984." Britain has allowed many countries in Southeast Asia, such as India, Pakistan Railway, Malaysia, Star City, Bangladesh, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and democratic Yemen to become independent. Now he supports Brunei¡¯s merger and independence and agrees to complete the transfer of all rights. It is unreasonable and stuck with the even more untenable Xiangjiang. Margaret Thatcher is such a shrewd woman, how can she not understand the implicit meaning in Xia Yu''s words? She has been thinking about this issue since October last year, and she had initially agreed to it at that time, and now it has been half a year later, she has already thought clearly. Although Britain has won the Falklands War and is now in full force, Margaret Thatcher has no intention of using the remaining power to cause trouble. There are many factors involved. First, the mainland is not Argentina, and Hong Kong is not the Falkland Islands. Britain can win the Falklands War, but it will never win the war at the door of the mainland. The mainland has proven many times before that the United States has all returned in defeat! Second, the entire West has now reached an agreement to weaken the Red Soviet Union as much as possible during the curtain of the Cold War. The West is now in the honeymoon period with the mainland. As long as the Cold War is still on, this relationship should continue. If you turn your face with the mainland, the United States will not support it. Third, the residents of Falkland Islands are actually of British descent, but Xiangjiang is mainly Chinese. The fourth is also the most fundamental. Since the Second World War, Britain has always given up on all the colonies and has always been willing to leave. Otherwise, if India¡¯s independence is unpleasant, it cannot be suppressed, but the independence of Star City can be suppressed when the UK is completely independent. Star City is stuck in the Strait of Malacca. Isn¡¯t it more critical than Xiangjiang? While Star City is still a British colony, Xiangjiang is only a leased land for a limited period of time! Therefore, there is a clear understanding of Xiangjiang, whether it is the British upper class or Margaret Thatcher itself. Xiangjiang will definitely not be able to keep, the key is to see what benefits can be obtained! In the past life, the mainland itself was poor, and the mainland was also hard-headed, and it was impossible to promise real benefits to Britain, so Britain was naturally angry. So even though the draft was signed early, there has been a lot of trouble afterwards. But this time is different. Xia Yu put his interests on the table early and used his own bargaining chips to talk about the economic and social stability of Xiangjiang. In the eyes of the governments of the capitalist world, a consortium and a country¡¯s government are comparable in terms of their own interests. Give a very simple example. Canada¡¯s GDP last year was just over 300 billion U.S. dollars, and the assets of an American Rockefeller consortium exceeded Canada¡¯s one-year GDP. Without considering the struggle of the consortium, if the Rockefeller consortium is willing to invest in the UK, it is equivalent to a Canadian national team investing in the UK, or even worse, because the Canadian government¡¯s responsibility is to govern the country. What kind of money to invest in the UK, but the Rockefeller consortium can come up with so much money, and the Rockefeller consortium can also influence the NATO boss, the United States! In the same way, if Xia Yu invested 5 billion pounds in the UK, it would be enough to use his own efforts to become the top foreign investment in the UK. After all, the UK¡¯s GDP last year was only 493.3 billion US dollars. , Xia Yu''s 5 billion pounds investment can be comparable to the proportion of 2% of the British GDP! Last year, the African Republic of the Sudan, the 58th largest GDP in the world, had a GDP of just over US$9.15 billion. Therefore, Xia Yu''s investment of 5 billion pounds in the UK can exceed the annual GDP of the 58th largest country in the world! Even if Xia Yu¡¯s investment of 5 billion pounds takes three years to complete, even an average annual investment of more than 1.66 billion pounds can exceed the annual GDP of Britain¡¯s old neighbor, Iceland, because The latter¡¯s GDP last year was less than US$3.2 billion, which is less than US$1.65 billion in British pounds! So even though Xia Yu is only a British national from Hong Kong, Margaret Thatcher did not neglect him. In her eyes, Xia Yu¡¯s status is comparable to that of a country leader in Luxembourg, Portugal, Peru, and Chile. Almost, even higher. In Xia Yu''s position, excluding the mainland factor, Xia Yu is fully qualified and tenable to talk to her about economic and social stability. ¡­¡­ Margaret Thatcher nodded and said frankly: "Yes, the special envoy of the Sultan of Brunei did come last month. The agreement has been signed. By 1984, Brunei will support the complete independence of Brunei." Xia Yu praised with a smile: "After World War II, Britain played an extremely important role in the advancement of global democracy. This is obvious to all." After wearing the top hat, Xia Yu immediately brought up the matter of Xiangjiang, and he did not speak from a political perspective, but asked questions on behalf of the local residents. "Ms. Margaret, regarding the economic and social stability of Xiangjiang, when do you plan to support our local people?" Margaret Thatcher did not answer Xia Yu¡¯s question head-on, but instead asked: "Mr. Xia, you made a large-scale investment in France in the past few months. The news has spread throughout Europe. It cost billions of dollars." "I wonder if you can still put out enough funds to invest in the UK?" Xia Yu''s face was indifferent, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Ms. Margaret, you don''t have to worry about this. Outside the UK, I can still get one or two billion dollars. Now the global economy is very depressed. As far as I am concerned, there are many investment opportunities. In Europe, I currently invest the most in the UK!" "And France just made a large-scale investment some time ago!" "Of course, I am also a British national. If there are suitable investment opportunities in the UK, of course I am willing to invest." Margaret Thatcher''s eyes flashed and a smile appeared on her face and said: "Of course the UK welcomes your investment..." ¡­¡­ Next, Margaret Thatcher no longer doubted Xia Yu''s strength, and discussed with Xia Yu. For Margaret Thatcher, she wished that Xia Yu would realize all the investment this year, so as to stimulate the British economy as soon as possible, improve the unemployment problem, and play a greater role. But Xia Yu didn''t want to invest all of it right away. At least he didn''t want to invest all of it before the UK and the mainland negotiated. So the two are discussing mainly around this point. After nearly fifteen minutes of negotiation, the result finally came out. Xia Yu must complete an investment of 2.5 billion pounds in the UK before this year, 1.5 billion pounds next year, and one billion pounds the next year. The British governor Peter Monroe in Hong Kong, after taking office, will provide Xia Yu with all-round assistance to the government to help Xiangjiang restore economic and social order and make Xiangjiang more and more prosperous. Of course, this is the official word, it is not so explicit. actually means very obvious that is, after the new Governor of Hong Kong, Peter Monroe took office, he listened to Xia Yu on the premise of not harming Britain. After ¡¡¡¡ negotiated, Xia Yu left contentedly. In order not to leave any handle, this negotiation will not stay on paper. It depends on the credibility of Margaret Thatcher and Xia Yu. As long as Britain signs an agreement with the mainland, then everything will be settled. And as long as he gets stronger and stronger, Britain will not risk huge economic losses to turn its face. Xia Yu is confident that with the passage of time, Xiangjiang¡¯s interests to the UK will be far less than his interests to the United Kingdom. At that time, if anyone takes the initiative to provoke the Xiangjiang issue and tries to force Xia Yu to completely separate from the United Kingdom, without Xia Yu¡¯s hands, the United Kingdom Instead, it may become a maintainer. After all, whether it is between countries or between people, interests are always paramount! After staying in the UK for two more days, Xia Yu arranged things properly. Waiting until the morning of May 13, under Elena''s reluctant gaze, Xia Yu boarded the Cathay Pacific plane returning to Xiangjiang. spent more than half a year in Europe, even the Spring Festival is celebrated in Europe this year, he should return to Xiangjiang... Https:// Only one second to remember the address of this site:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1117: Another large bank After all, Cathay Pacific is Xia Yu''s company, so naturally he dare not disclose the itinerary of the big boss. And Xia Yu is not the kind of person with publicity, except for Li Qian and He Chaoqiong who knew that he had returned, no one else came to pick him up. However, as a banner of Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was naturally the object of attention of countless people. He was less than twenty-four hours after his appearance in Xiangjiang, and the news of his return to Xiangjiang spread throughout the upper class of Xiangjiang. And the people who got the news first were undoubtedly the people from the mainland. They were eager to know what results Xia Yu had achieved. After Xia Yu was resting at home with his family for two days, he received an invitation letter from Xinhua News Agency, and he also saw an unexpected name on the invitation letter. Knowing that the mainland was anxious, Xia Yu did not delay and went secretly to Xinhua News Agency. After entering, Xia Yu saw Liu Zhihe surrounded by Wang Ping and Li Hua. "Mr. Xia, thank you for driving!" Seeing the three people who were welcoming to each other solemnly, Xia Yu smiled, shaking hands with them one by one, and said with a faint smile: "Director Liu, President Wang, President Li, please let the three of you meet each other, I am flattered!" "What Mr. Xia said, you are our most important guest and friend, and that should be!" "Please come in!" "Go together! Please!" After a short greeting, Xia Yu was surrounded by them and entered the living room. The staff who had been waiting inside immediately made tea for everyone, and the table was also full of fresh fruits and pastries. After chatting for a while, Wang Ping and Li Hua found a lame excuse to leave at Liu Zhihe''s gesture, leaving Liu Zhihe and Xia Yu in the living room. Liu Zhihe showed urgency, looked at Xia Yu with anxiety and expectation, and asked inquiringly: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know what Britain''s current attitude towards Xiangjiang is?" But Liu Zhihe is not nervous, after all, he knows the mainland''s concern about this matter. In particular, Britain just won the Falklands War. It was at a time when the momentum was in full swing. Some people in mainland China were pessimistic about Xia Yu¡¯s actions and were eager to know whether Xia Yu could succeed and make strategic adjustments in time. That''s why Liu Zhihe was sent directly to Xiangjiang to wait for Xia Yu. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Director Liu, after my many efforts, Margaret Thatcher has given me a clear answer to Xiangjiang." "The specific situation is like this..." Next, Xia Yu explained his "efforts" and "the price paid", including how to establish a large family relationship, how much effort was spent, especially the promise to Margaret Thatcher The investment of 5 billion pounds within three years was highlighted. As for the use of Argentine intelligence as a bargaining chip, Xia Yu did not say. But the process Xia Yu described shocked Liu Zhihe, and two of them shocked him the most. The first point is that Xia Yu will invest 5 billion pounds in the UK within three years, which is equivalent to nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than the mainland''s foreign exchange reserves last year. We must know that the mainland''s foreign exchange reserves last year were less than 7 billion U.S. dollars. In 1978, there was only more than 800 million U.S. dollars, and Xia Yu had such a powerful strength! And if all this money is invested in the mainland, then the mainland will be able to have nearly tens of billions of dollars in precious foreign exchange, which can be used to purchase all kinds of goods urgently needed by the mainland, which can definitely generate huge value to the country! However, for the stability and harmony of Xiangjiang, Xia Yu had to give so much money to the United Kingdom. When Liu Zhihe was moved by Xia Yu''s patriotic heart, he couldn''t help but feel aggrieved. If the country is strong, why... The second point that shocked Liu Zhihe was undoubtedly the result of the negotiations between Xia Yu and Margaret Thatcher. "Mr. Xia, can you be sure that the British Prime Minister knows what to say?" Because the result was too shocking for him, Liu Zhihe was not at ease in his heart, and asked urgently. Xia Yu gradually reduced her smile, and after thinking about it for a while in Liu Zhihe''s mood, he said: "Director Liu, based on my understanding of Margaret Thatcher, she is a person who keeps her promise, but we are It is privately agreed that there shall be no stage or legal effect." "So I personally suggest that after you bring the news back, the mainland will immediately send someone to talk to the British government and write down the stability of Xiangjiang on paper. Then it will be impossible for the UK to regret it!" "One more thing, because of the victory of the Falklands War, the morale of the British people is very high. When the mainland negotiates with the United Kingdom, it is difficult to guarantee that the British government will promote the generosity of the British government in order to reduce the resistance of the people. Just get inside." Liu Zhihe looked solemn, nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your reminder. I will definitely convey your opinion to the above after I return." ... After Xia Yu left, Liu Zhihe immediately returned to the mainland with the guards. After returning to the capital, he described the process and results of Xia Yu''s account, and also repeated Xia Yu''s suggestions, which shocked a lot of people. People, many people have re-recognized Xia Yu''s strength and have a deeper understanding of Xia Yu''s position. However, Xia Yu is not clear about these things. After all, the radiation range of the snare excludes the mainland. In the next few days, Xia Yu was not idle. In the evening, he visited his master Li Chunqiu and his friends such as Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang. During the day, he devoted himself to work and had a very fulfilling life. On May 19, Xia Yu received Qiu Deba, the head of the Qiu family from Star City, at the headquarters of Jiuding Bank, accompanied by Liu Tianci, the head of Jiuding Bank. "Mr. Qiu, I promised you last year that I would use a bank as a hub for our cooperation. Now the bank is here, please see!" Xia Yu finished with a smile and handed Qiu Deba the information about the new Guangli Wing Hang Bank Group that Liu Tianci had just given him. After waiting for ten months, I finally met the long-awaited bank. Qiu Deba couldn''t wait to receive the information and browsed it carefully. Xia Yu drank tea leisurely, waiting for Qiu Deba to finish it. The new Wing Hang Bank Group is actually a merger of the three wholly-owned banks Wing Hang Bank, Chong Hing Bank and Malaysia Guangli Bank acquired last year. At the time of the stock market crash, these three banks were all subjected to a run that caused their value to plummet. Xia Yu also spent HK$1.375 billion on the wholly-owned acquisition of these three banks. After that, Liu Tianci used Xia Yu''s instructions and endorsed by Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank to restore the credibility of these three banks. With the endorsements of the two giants of Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, the three banks quickly got out of the run, and Liu Tianci also used vigorous expansion to prove the strength of these three banks to depositors. Therefore, the strength of these three banks has improved rapidly. Before the run, none of the three banks was worth less than one billion Hong Kong dollars. After the merger of the three banks, the name Guangli Wing Hang Bank is unified. The new Guangli Wing Hang Bank has branches all over Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong and Macau have 68 branches and representative offices, and 47 branches and representative offices in Southeast Asian countries, with a total of 115 branches and Representative office. After the merger, Guangli Wing Hang Bank¡¯s total assets reached 25.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, the bank¡¯s core Tier 1 capital was 1.813 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio reached 7%. In terms of proportion, they are considered high-quality banks in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. And the total assets of 25.9 billion Hong Kong dollars make Guangli Wing Hang Bank a large bank across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia! The information in Qiu Deba''s hands also stated the appraised value of Guangli Wing Hang Bank. 3.7 billion Hong Kong dollars! Although this number is not as good as the combined value of the three banks before the stock market crash, it is not far off. After the stock market crash, the three banks merged to achieve the effect of 1+1+1>3, so the valuation of 3.7 billion Hong Kong dollars is real! When Qiu Deba saw this value, he also recognized it, but after his surprise, he was depressed. Because last year he only asked Xia Yu to take out the equity of a bank worth more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, covering Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. He expected to obtain more than 33.3% of the equity or even more than 50% of the equity. . But never thought that what Xia Yu is now throwing out is a bank worth up to 3.7 billion Hong Kong dollars! When the equity of Swire Holdings was transferred last year, the equity was only priced at 630 million Hong Kong dollars. Even with the ten-month interest, it was only 708.75 million Hong Kong dollars! He can only replace no more than 20% of the equity! If the plan fails, how can you keep Qiu Deba from depressed? But he can''t blame Xia Yu After all, the equity of a large bank with total assets of up to 25.9 billion Hong Kong dollars is very rare, after all, the number of large banks is very small! "Mr. Qiu, my sincerity is already here, are you satisfied with this bank?" After seeing Qiu Deba put down the information, Xia Yu asked with a smile. Qiu Deba felt a bit bitter in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he nodded and said, "I think no one would say dissatisfied with a high-quality large bank!" Xia Yu said with a smile: "If this is the case, then I will not pay a premium, and I will replace the corresponding equity for you according to the valuation price evaluation." Qiu Deba looked down and solemnly thanked: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your generosity!" Xia Yu laughed, waved his hand and said casually: "Mr. Qiu, I sincerely hope to cooperate with you for a long time, so I naturally want to show my sincerity!" Xia Yu said so, Qiu Deba sighed inwardly, he could only obliterate the idea of ??wanting to spend more money to buy some equity, he still wanted to make a face! Qiu Deba laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured that the sincerity of our Qiu family will continue to show in the future." "I wish us a happy cooperation!" "Happy cooperation!" After shaking hands, Liu Tianci called a lawyer to transfer the equity of Guangli Wing Hang Bank. After the transfer, Jiuding Bank holds 80.85% of Guangli Wing Hang Bank''s equity, while Qiu Family holds 19.15% of the equity. At this point, the Qiu family in Star City was also pulled aboard by Xia Yu. PS: I came back in the evening on the 30th, but I have to go to work on Sunday night after I come back, so I will finish writing soon after I am busy. Please forgive me! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: ~: Wrong leave form PS: Don''t order this chapter. You accidentally changed the leave request form to this, which caused the release time to be confused and embarrassed. I have already reported myself to myself. This chapter should be closed in a few days. There are many Hong Kong piers, but most of them are large piers. There is only one public pier for small boats to berth and unload passengers ashore. It is located at Edinburgh Square in Central on Hong Kong Island, adjacent to the Hong Kong City Hall and facing the Queen¡¯s Wharf in Victoria Harbour. May 20th. Xia Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floors of the Jiuding Bank Building, looking at the grand handover ceremony being held at Queen''s Wharf. This day is very special. Because the newcomer Peter Monroe, Governor of Hong Kong, arrived at Queen''s Wharf and transferred power with MacLehose on the dock, he officially assumed the post of Governor of Hong Kong. Looking at the grand celebration ceremony, Liu Tianci, who was standing next to Xia Yu, smiled and said, "Chairman, it seems that there are many bigwigs on the scene to greet Peter Monroe. When shall we visit him? Wait until he has a banquet?" An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth, and he shook his head slightly and said, "There is no need to visit him, he will come over." Liu Tianci was taken aback, then looked at Xia Yu puzzledly: "Will he come over?" Xia Yu nodded slightly, did not hide from Liu Tianci, and said softly: "I have reached an agreement with the British Prime Minister. I will have the final say in Xiangjiang in the future!" "Peter Monroe should have been ordered." Liu Tianci shook his whole body and looked at Xia Yu who looked indifferent with a shocked face. Then, his heart was filled with great joy. If what the chairman said is true, then from this moment on, the sky of Xiangjiang will change, and the chairman will cover the sky with one hand. From the big businessmen to the people of the Li people, they will be shrouded in the shadow of the Jiuding Consortium! Liu Tianci could not imagine what this meant, but he knew that Jiuding Bank stepped on the head of HSBC, and the time had come to dominate Xiangjiang! "Wang Qi should be coming soon. Tell me about the situation of the Stock Exchange!" After all, Xia Yu turned around and left. Liu Tianci once again took a deep look at the lively Queen¡¯s Wharf in the distance, with a smile on his face, and strutting away. He wants to meet Wang Qi first, and then he can report to the chairman of the stock exchange¡¯s progress. . ... It didn''t take long before Wang Qi came to the Jiuding Bank Building. After a brief communication with Liu Tianci, the two came to Xia Yu''s office. "Chairman, I''m sorry I am late!" Faced with Wang Qi''s apology, Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "Kowloon is a little away from Central. If you are not late, please sit down and tell me about the specific situation of the Stock Exchange." Liu Tianci and Wang Qi looked at each other, and then Wang Qi took the lead and said: "Chairman, from September to March last year, we completed a large number of equity acquisitions on the four major exchanges, and then on the 18th of last month , Completed the asset integration work of the four exchanges, and converted all the equity of the four major exchanges into equity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange." "After the conversion, the total share capital of the Stock Exchange is 1 billion shares. We hold a total of 495 million shares, accounting for 49.5%. However, these shares are dispersed to Jiuding Bank and Jiuding. Among the securities companies, Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Insurance Co., Ltd., Chiba Bank and Hang Lung Bank and other companies, Jiuding Bank holds up to 15% of the shares and is also the largest shareholder of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange." "Besides us, the second largest shareholder is the Hong Kong Government, which holds 10.5% of the shares and has two director seats. The Bank of East Asia and Li Fuzhao together hold 9.2%, making them the third largest shareholder... " Following Wang Qi''s talk, Xia Yu had an intuitive and concrete impression of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Under his intervention in this life, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is fundamentally different from the previous life. According to the historical trajectory, if the Hong Kong Stock Exchange wants to proceed to this point, it will have to wait until 1985 at least, but it has reached this level three years in advance. In addition, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the previous life was a membership-based stock exchange, while in this life it was a company-based stock exchange. This is a fundamental systemic difference. These two systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they have different meanings for people with different positions. The membership stock exchange is a non-profit organization established in the form of a membership association, mainly composed of securities firms. Only members and licensed brokers are eligible to trade on the exchange. And membership-based stock exchanges implement membership autonomy, self-discipline, and self-management. The highest authority of the membership-based stock exchange is the general assembly, the board of directors is the executive body, and the board of directors hires managers to take charge of daily affairs. For example, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange in the mainland of the past are both membership-based stock exchanges. On the other hand, the corporate stock exchange is profit-making. It is a company established by various investors to invest in shares. The corporate stock exchange is responsible for guaranteeing securities transactions within the stock exchange and must have a compensation fund. The current Geneva Stock Exchange in Switzerland, the New York Stock Exchange in the United States and the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom are all typical representatives of corporate stock exchanges. As for the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems of exchanges, briefly summarize. The advantages of membership-based stock exchanges: Relatively speaking, it is not taking economic benefits as the first goal of the enterprise, but how to make the exchange platform bigger and stronger. Disadvantages of membership-based stock exchanges: there are more rules, lower efficiency, and slower expansion of the exchange''s scale. The advantages of a corporate stock exchange: because it does not directly participate in securities trading and is in a neutral position in the securities trading process, it helps to ensure the fairness of transactions; at the same time, because its main responsibility is to provide all necessary securities transactions Such material conditions and services, and relatively simple business activities, are conducive to providing securities firms with as complete trading facilities and services as possible. Disadvantages of corporate stock exchanges: Compared with the membership system, maximizing shareholder profits is the primary goal of the enterprise, and sometimes it will harm the interests of other traders for the interests of shareholders. For Xia Yu, a capitalist and the king of Xiangjiang Finance, it is of course that the corporate stock exchange is more beneficial to him and can further stabilize his position in Xiangjiang. And in order for Xiangjiang to rise as quickly as possible, the low-efficiency and slow expansion model of the membership-based stock exchange is indeed inappropriate. UU reading ... After Wang Qi finished speaking, Xia Yu asked, "Are there many noises inside the United Stock Exchange? Are Li Fuzhao and others honest?" This time, it was Liu Tianci, the chairman of the board, to introduce. He shook his head and said: "Li Fuzhao is definitely not reconciled, but he is a smart man, so after he has obtained the position of vice chairman of an exchange, he is also more cooperative with the company''s decree." "However, he can be regarded as the second largest power in the exchange. Under his connection, Hu Hanhui, Chen Pufen, Wang Qiming, Hu Baixi and others are united by him. Together, they also hold more than 22% of the shares. , Has four director seats." "And our side has ten director seats. In addition to the nine seats corresponding to its own equity, HeungKong Bank of China has also given us 0.5% of the voting rights corresponding to the equity, which has increased our director seats. One, now we control ten of the nineteen director seats." "We are also the major shareholders of Hang Seng Bank and HSBC, and the directors of these two banks on the exchange have been on our side." "Moreover, the two directors sent by the Hong Kong government are also very supportive of us, so the merger of the exchange is progressing very smoothly." "Now that the new governor Peter Monroe takes office, the positions of the two directors of the Hong Kong government will definitely stand on our side more firmly," Xia Yu smiled and said affirmatively: "Good job." "Thank you for the compliment, chairman!" Liu Tianci and Wang Qi immediately replied modestly. Xia Yu smiled and continued to ask: "So what procedures still need to be followed by the United Stock Exchange and when will it be officially launched?" v3 Chapter 1118: The proper financial king There are many Hong Kong piers, but most of them are large piers. There is only one public pier for small boats to berth and unload passengers ashore. It is located at Edinburgh Square in Central on Hong Kong Island, adjacent to the Hong Kong City Hall and facing the Queen¡¯s Wharf in Victoria Harbour. May 20th. Xia Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floors of the Jiuding Bank Building, looking at the grand handover ceremony being held at Queen''s Wharf. This day is very special. Because the newcomer Peter Monroe, Governor of Hong Kong, arrived at Queen''s Wharf and transferred power with MacLehose on the dock, he officially assumed the post of Governor of Hong Kong. Looking at the grand celebration ceremony, Liu Tianci, who was standing next to Xia Yu, smiled and said, "Chairman, it seems that there are many bigwigs on the scene to greet Peter Monroe. When shall we visit him? Wait until he has a banquet?" An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth, and he shook his head slightly and said, "There is no need to visit him, he will come over." Liu Tianci was taken aback, then looked at Xia Yu puzzledly: "Will he come over?"

Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1119: Hands on the futures market Chapter 1119 When it comes to the question of activation, Liu Tianci dare not answer indiscriminately. He fell into thinking. According to the company¡¯s internal plan, the combination is the actual situation. After thinking for a long time, he said: ¡°Chairman, you have your previous strategic guidance, and then refer to other large stock exchanges in the world, the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange. The construction of the system is very fast. The complete system draft has been completed last month, and is currently being checked for deficiencies. The complete system can be released within four months at most." "In terms of hardware, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will completely abandon the remaining manual transactions and fully adopt a computer-assisted trading system for securities trading. The machines are all in place, and the commissioning of all machines can be completed in two months at most, until it waits for activation... " "I personally expect that it should be possible to complete all the work in October at the earliest, close the four major exchanges, and open the United Stock Exchange." "Even the most conservative situation can be activated before December this year!" According to Liu Tianci, it would take another five to seven months! This time is not long! Once the United Stock Exchange is launched, Xia Yu can let go of his hands and say that Xiangjiang will become the financial center of Asia and the world! He smiled and nodded and said to Liu Tianci, "God gift, it''s enough to be activated this year." "After I meet Peter Monroe, your work should be better." "Which areas still lack resources, you can tell me directly, I will arrange for people to deploy, and we must ensure that the United Stock Exchange can be activated quickly and steadily." "Ok!" ... Later, Xia Yu explained something to Liu Tianci. After he went out, Xia Yu called Wang Qi and went to a place with him. At first, Wang Qi was still confused, but when the car stopped and he got out of the car and saw a sign not far away, a shocking guess appeared in his mind. "Wang Qi, let''s go!" Glancing at Wang Qi''s shocked appearance, Xia Yu smiled faintly, greeted him, and walked straight to Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange Co., Ltd. Wang Qi suddenly came back to his senses, catching up with Xia Yu''s pace in three and two steps, and followed Xia Yu towards the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange. After walking in, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange was very deserted. Although many people could be seen trading, it could not be compared with any of the four major stock exchanges in Hong Kong. Although the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange is currently the only futures exchange in Hong Kong, its operations are indeed not optimistic. The Hong Kong Commodity Exchange was established in February 1977, and it has been five years now. However, in five years, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange has developed six futures varieties, namely the raw sugar and cotton trading at the beginning, the soybean trading launched in 1979, the gold futures trading launched in 1980, and the silver trading launched last year. Futures and corn trading! Last year, the total trading volume of the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange was only 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to an average monthly trading volume of more than 210 million Hong Kong dollars. Not worthy! Consider the trading scale of the Hong Kong Stock Market of more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars a year. The trading volume of the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange is only less than one-fifth of the stock market. The gap is like a gap! As one of the three major markets, the potential of the futures market is far more than that, and it does not conform to Xiangjiang''s plan to build a financial center. Without a huge and mature futures market, the prosperous stock market alone cannot support Xiangjiang as the world''s financial center! In Xia Yu''s view, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange is a typical failure! In February of this year, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange also conducted its first internal review in five years. The internal review also concluded that its own operations were not successful, and facing the current sluggish and chaotic financial market of Xiangjiang, shareholders and management are both Sorrowful white head. That is to say, under this situation, Xia Yu was remotely controlled when he was in Paris, and quietly, let the Galaxy Fund complete the wholly-owned acquisition of the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange. So now, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange is Xia Yu''s industry. Now that he brings Wang Qi here, the meaning is very obvious, he is going to start with the Xiangjiang Futures Market! After entering the company, Zhao Zhiyuan, the acting president who was notified by the employees, hurriedly came to Xia Yu. Because the company was acquired by Yinhe Fund, Zhao Zhiyuan had never met Xia Yu before. He only had a few phone calls with Xia Yu. In the face of Xia Yu''s unannounced inspection, Zhao Zhiyuan felt a little worried, for fear that he would not be able to correct himself if he did not do well. "Boss, you are welcome!" "Zhiyuan, this is Wang Qi, the president of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., do you know me!" "He is Zhao Zhiyuan, temporarily acting as president of the company." As a middleman, Xia Yu simply said a few words and asked them to get acquainted with each other. After the two exchanged greetings, Xia Yu told Zhao Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, take me to the office." "Okay, please follow me, boss!" After that, Zhao Zhiyuan took Xia Yu and Wang Qi to the boss''s office that had been prepared for Xia Yu but had never been used. After entering the office, he was satisfied with the interior decoration. He was not polite, and directly sat on the leather back seat in front of the desk, and then told Zhao Zhiyuan who wanted to make tea: "Zhiyuan, you let others make it. Tea will do. Go and get all the company information." "Ok!" Zhao Zhiyuan immediately put down the tea set, and after a respectful response, he walked out of the office quickly. He asked his secretary to go to the boss''s office to make tea for Xia Yu, while he searched for the information. Before long, he returned to Xia Yu¡¯s office with the compiled company development report and other materials. Under Xia Yu¡¯s sign, he first divided half of them to Wang QiWang Qi, take a look To understand the situation of the exchange clearly, you will need to cooperate with Zhiyuan to build the exchange. " "Ok!" After Wang Qi responded, he picked up the information and read it carefully. Before I knew it, nearly an hour passed. Xia Yu and Wang Qi exchanged information halfway through, and both have a clear understanding of the situation in the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange. "Wang Qi, after reading the information, you can express your opinion and talk about why the operation of the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange is not successful." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Zhao Zhiyuan focused his attention on Wang Qi. After Wang Qi pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "Chairman, I personally think that the exchange failed because of two factors." "First, there are problems with the exchange''s trading rules and management regulations. This requires major changes and improvements in all aspects." "Secondly, there are too few trading categories. Only raw sugar, cotton, soybeans, gold, silver and corn have been launched in five years. Except for gold and silver, the trading volume of the other four commodities is not large, and Xiangjiang also It''s not a production area, it''s just a transit station. Naturally, there is no advantage in trading. And the exchanges are still out of luck. In the past few years, neither gold nor silver futures have been good." "Secondly, there are too few trading categories. Only raw sugar, cotton, soybeans, gold, silver and corn have been launched in five years.

Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1120: 4 pillars in the futures field After Wang Qi finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at Zhao Zhiyuan, and when he saw his approval, Xia Yu nodded secretly. He looked at Wang Qi again and said: "Wang Qi, the trading system and management rules must be changed. Let me talk about your views on trading commodities. If you were the chairman of the futures exchange, what would you do?" "Don''t have psychological pressure, just talk freely." Xia Yu¡¯s question is crucial. Suddenly letting Wang Qi express his opinions did put him under tremendous psychological pressure. Fortunately, Xia Yu''s attitude was kind and casual, which reduced Wang Qi''s psychological burden. Wang Qi also knew what Xia Yu was. Now that the chairman said so, he settled down and pondered quietly. Xia Yu smiled and then whispered to Zhao Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, you also think about it, from which direction our exchange can rebuild the market and let the exchange rise again." "Good boss." Zhao Zhiyuan responded in a low voice and fell into thinking. While the two were thinking, Xia Yu took a notebook and a pen from the desktop, combined with his own experience and memory, and began to write intermittently. For a long time, Wang Qi''s voice sounded, interrupting Xia Yu''s thinking. "Boss, I have some ideas." Xia Yu put down the pen, nodded slightly to Wang Qi, smiled lightly and said, "Tell me." Wang Qi took a deep breath and said: "Chairman, there are actually two types of futures on the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange, namely agricultural futures and metal futures." "There are only four types of agricultural product futures: raw sugar, cotton, soybeans, and corn. The turnover is low. The market in Xiangjiang is small and cannot accommodate large-scale capital entry. This kind of futures is suitable for later use as icing on the cake and is not suitable as a pillar. " "The market capacity of gold futures in metal futures is sufficient, but the key is that it is not suitable for Xiangjiang''s current situation. Hong Kong is itself a gold and silver trading market. There are many banks and gold dealers, and there is great pressure from competition. In the competition in the local London gold market, many HeungKong companies sell London gold futures on commission." "HeungKong''s own gold and silver exchanges and the local London gold market both allow delayed delivery and already have the characteristics and functions of the gold futures market. Therefore, our gold futures cannot be irreplaceable and difficult to compete." "Silver futures will not say much, the market has been sluggish." "After analysis, the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange does not have a pillar-type futures contract, which is the most deadly." "In my opinion, pillar-type futures contracts need to have two characteristics, one is to have a large capital capacity, and the second is to have temporary irreplaceability, that is, uniqueness." "Then let''s look at the classification of futures, which can be divided into commodity futures and financial futures." "Commodity futures can be divided into metal futures, agricultural product futures, and energy futures." "Financial futures can be divided into stock index futures, interest rate futures, foreign exchange futures, etc." "Our company is called the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange. It is positioned as commodity futures, but it is not easy to do it for the time being whether it is metal futures or agricultural product futures. Crude oil futures in energy futures can be done, but because our local oil consumption is low, it is just The transfer station does not have ultra-large-scale crude oil storage facilities, so it is temporarily not qualified to create highly competitive crude oil futures." "But we have one thing here, and that is the Hang Seng Index, and there is no Hang Seng Index futures in the world. If our exchange can no longer be limited to commodity futures trading and open up the financial futures market, the difficulty, cost and risk of management will be higher. However, the market will expand dozens of times or even hundreds of times. We have unique advantages and the possibility of success is very high." "My personal view is to restructure the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange into a full-category futures exchange, starting with financial futures, making the Hang Seng Index futures a pillar, and then further launching foreign exchange futures and interest rate futures. In international trade transit cities, there are hundreds of bankers alone. We have branches in the world''s largest banks. We have a lot to do with the introduction of foreign exchange futures and interest rate futures." "When the financial futures market is successful and the market has a huge amount of funds, it will not be too late to find the right time to launch agricultural product futures, energy futures and metal futures. Relying on the huge amount of funds is enough to drive every small category of commodity futures trading markets." "Chairman, the above is my humble opinion, please give me some advice!" "Papa..." After Wang Qi finished speaking, Xia Yu smiled and applauded, saying, "It is very well said, very intuitive and easy to operate." After Wang Qi received Xia Yu''s praise, his heart fell completely, with a smile on his face, again and again humble. "Thank you for the compliment, chairman!" Xia Yu ignored Wang Qi''s self-effacement and turned to look at Zhao Zhiyuan with a deeply inspired look. He smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, Wang Qi has expressed his opinion, what about you? What are your thoughts?" Zhao Zhiyuan was busy recovering from the huge thought shock. He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm the inner shock, and said: "Boss, I very much agree with Mr. Wang''s opinion. With your influence in the financial field, the financial futures market is the most suitable direction for the development of our exchange. I have nothing else. Thoughts." It¡¯s not that Zhao Zhiyuan didn¡¯t want to be dazzling, but after listening to Wang Qi¡¯s insights, he was also willing to bow down. Compared with Wang Qi¡¯s proposal, he couldn¡¯t get his idea at all. In that case, I just don¡¯t say anything, honestly. Just obey orders. Xia Yu smiled and didn''t care. His main purpose is to let Wang Qi express, to convince Zhao Zhiyuan, to let Wang Qi press on Zhao Zhiyuan''s head, and to let Zhao Zhiyuan willingly cooperate with Wang Qi''s work. And Wang Qi did not disappoint him, he deserves to be his left arm in the financial field. He instructed Wang Qi and Zhao Zhiyuan: "Wang Qi, Zhiyuan, I will clarify the division of labor for you. Wang Qi will be the chairman of the exchange, and Zhiyuan you will be the vice chairman and executive president of the company." "The first thing is to re-register the exchange, change it to the Hong Kong Futures Exchange, and expand the commodity business area to all categories. You are responsible for following this matter by Zhiyuan. If there are any obstacles in the Hong Kong government, please tell me That¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll let someone handle it." "The second thing is to rebuild the exchange¡¯s trading rules and management regulations. Wang Qi, you take the lead in this matter. After the creation of the United Stock Exchange, you also have a lot of experience. I will give you some of mine later. Suggestion, you just combine it in." "The third thing is to rectify the staff of the exchange in an all-round way, create a brand-new personnel system, and retire those with insufficient capabilities Be sure to build an elite team, this matter is led by Zhiyuan, I Let Korn Ferry International assist you." "The fourth thing, in terms of hardware construction, the current exchange site is not suitable. The exchange must be placed in the Central Plaza. It must be built against the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange. The trading method is positioned as a full computer operation, and all face-to-face transactions are discarded. You have experience in site selection and construction and machine procurement, Wang Qi, and you are responsible." "The fifth thing is about trading commodities. The Hang Seng Index futures are promising, but this pillar alone is not enough. At present, the Hong Kong stock market is still sluggish, and the Hang Seng Index futures market is not large enough. The FTSE 100 stock index futures and natural rubber futures, the four major commodities listed together, will definitely be able to make a big splash on the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange." "Wang Qi will be responsible for this matter. Nikkei 225 stock index futures. You can ask island companies to assist you. For the UK FTSE 100 stock index futures, I will ask FTSE Index to send someone to assist you. Natural rubber Don¡¯t worry about futures. I have reached an agreement with Kuala Lumpur¡¯s''Rubber King¡¯ Li Laisheng last year. I will communicate with him later. He will help contact large Southeast Asian rubber companies to support our exchange." "For the time being, I hope that before the end of the year, our futures exchange can keep up with the pace of the Stock Exchange. Can it be done?" Wang Qi and Zhao Zhiyuan immediately raised their heads and said in unison: "Yes!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked again: "Ask me now if I don''t understand." "boss¡­¡­" ...

This operation is very embarrassing. Once it is realized, it will definitely shock the financial world. After all, there is no such precedent in the world! But operating Sao Gui Sao does not mean that you can''t do it! And even if Xia Yu doesn''t do it now, some people will start this first in a few years. In fact, Xia Yu is preparing to cut off the future of the Star City International Financial Exchange that has not yet appeared in one fell swoop, seize the luck of the Star City International Financial Exchange, and build Xiangjiang into a futures trading center in Asia, and even one of the world''s futures trading centers. One. In the previous life, Star City has built a very good place in the field of futures. The Star City International Financial Exchange, established in 1984, launched the Nikkei 225 stock index futures before it surpassed the island countries in 1986. Once launched, it shocked the entire Asian financial industry. The industry, which in turn influenced the world, attracted a large number of international financial institutions to enter Star City, making the Star City International Financial Exchange the main place for international financial institutions to trade Nikkei 225 stock index futures. To what extent has the Star City International Financial Exchange achieved Nikkei 225 stock index futures? Achieved the highest height in the world! Even if the island country urgently launched the Nikkei 225 stock index futures in 1988, it took more than 30 years to catch up, but it still only achieved half the volume of the Nikkei 225 stock index futures of the Star City International Financial Exchange! It can be said that this is the shame of the island country¡¯s financial community. While many people in the island country¡¯s financial community were indignant, they shouted in their hearts to go to the Star City International Financial Exchange to trade Nikkei 225 stock index futures. In fact, the Nikkei 225 stock index futures were first developed by Star City, and the island countries themselves have great responsibilities. After all, in this era, if financial indexes are launched in developed countries around the world, there will be stock index futures derivatives. This is the case in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. After Xia Yu¡¯s FTSE Index Company launched the FTSE index, it will not and soon Has the corresponding FTSE index futures been launched by the futures exchange? But among these, only island countries are special. This is because the island country¡¯s own laws and regulations restrict it. The island country¡¯s securities trading law now stipulates that securities investors are prohibited from engaging in futures trading. Therefore, the current island country securities market does not have the legal conditions to launch stock index futures trading. However, the island country¡¯s economy is now very prosperous, surpassing the Red Soviet Union in 1978, and its gross national product ranks second in the world. The powerful economic scale has helped the island country¡¯s stock market continue to expand. In this case, the island country¡¯s Nikkei 225 Index did not. The futures contract is obviously a big cake left unattended. No wonder the Star City of Chicken Thief is coveted! With the help of the influence brought by the Nikkei 225 stock index futures, the Star City International Financial Exchange has grown rapidly, and then successively launched crude oil futures. After becoming the first financial futures exchange in Asia, it has become the first energy futures trading market in Asia. In 2000, it was named the world''s best derivatives exchange of the year! Now Xia Yu has asked the Hong Kong Futures Exchange to do this in advance, and also launched the British FTSE 100 stock index futures and Hang Seng Index futures along the way, which will not only bring the Hong Kong Futures Exchange the honor of being the first financial futures exchange in Asia. , Can also cut off the future of the Star City futures market in one fell swoop. Without a strong futures market, how will Star City compete with Hong Kong for its position as an Asian financial center in the future? Xia Yu is confident that once the Nikkei 225 stock index futures are launched, they will definitely become one of the pillars supporting the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. In addition to the Nikkei 225 stock index futures, the Hang Seng Index futures, FTSE 100 stock index futures and natural rubber futures designated by Xia Yu can all become pillar futures commodities. Needless to say, the Hang Seng Index futures, after the launch of the previous Hong Kong Futures Exchange, the trading volume of the Hang Seng Index futures accounted for more than 90% of the entire futures exchange at its peak. As for the FTSE 100 stock index futures, although the London Futures Exchange has now launched, but with the connection between the Hong Kong financial community and the British financial community, taking into account the time difference between Hong Kong and London, and the cluster of international financial institutions in Hong Kong, It can definitely grab a portion of the market. As for natural rubber futures, the market is even bigger. After all, rubber is the world''s transportation industry, and many fields of industry need rubber. Later generations of natural rubber were traded on the Tokyo Industrial Exchange, the Moto Futures Exchange, the Star City Exchange and the Thai Agricultural Exchange. Natural rubber futures were sufficient to support these four major futures markets. But at this time, only the Tokyo Industrial Exchange has the world''s only natural rubber futures. Although Xiangjiang does not have the huge rubber consumption market of an island country, Xiangjiang is close to Southeast Asia, the rubber production area, and Xia Yu can obtain the support of Southeast Asian rubber giants, which is enough to support the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange to build natural rubber futures. Regarding the natural rubber futures, he had already set up the layout as early as last year. Although the Hong Kong Futures Exchange lags behind the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, it can definitely compete with it! In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yu gave Wang Qi his previously written suggestions and plans for the creation of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. After seeing it, Wang Qi hurriedly devoted himself to the matters of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. ... According to the past situation, after the new Governor of Hong Kong takes office, there will be a celebration ball jointly held by the leaders of Hong Kong''s political and business circles, and it is generally on the third day after taking office. But after Peter Monroe took office, the ball was delayed by him. Because on the evening of May 22, Peter Monroe took his entourage and took the initiative to come to Kowloon to visit Xia Yu! At any rate Peter Monroe is the Governor of Xiangjiang. Although he is only a puppet, Xia Yu still gave him a lot of face and welcomed him at the door personally. This dissipated a lot of depression in Peter Monroe, who took office with a depressed mood. . "Governor Peter Monroe, welcome to you!" "Mr. Xia, thank you for welcoming in person, I am deeply honored!" "Also, you can call me by my Chinese name, Su Xingjian!" "Haha, okay, Governor Su, please come in the house!" While talking and laughing, Xia Yu invited Su Xingjian into the house. Xia Yu¡¯s parents and family extended a warm welcome to Su Xingjian¡¯s arrival, especially Xia Yu¡¯s parents. They were not aware of the deal between Xia Yu and the British Prime Minister, so I was flattered for the Governor of Xiangjiang to visit in person. However, Su Xingjian had already set his mind and looked very easy-going, and gave Xia Yu''s younger brothers and sisters carefully prepared small gifts. Next, Xia Yu invited Su Xingjian to enjoy a warm and hearty dinner. After dinner, Xia Yu invited Su Xingjian to chat in the pavilion in the garden. Perhaps it was Su Xingjian''s straightforward temper. After sitting down in the garden, he made no secrets and said directly to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, before coming to Xiangjiang, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister have looked for me together and explained some things to me clearly. In the days to come, on the premise of not violating the principle, if you have anything to tell me, I will give my full assistance." Xia Yu poured a cup of tea for Su Xingjian and said with a smile: "Governor Su, thank you!" "This is our first contact today. You may not know me well. I am a person who likes to make friends most, and will take the initiative to consider others. I can''t do things that make friends difficult." "Since you have come to Xiangjiang to take office, then I will definitely support your governance of Xiangjiang and make some outstanding achievements." "Moreover, I am very good friends with Prince Philip and Duke Howard. The Bright Fund is also the property of some of my friends. I think I also have certain contacts in the British business and political circles." "Whether you or your family have any difficulties in Hong Kong or in the UK, just tell me directly, for my friends, I am happy to give my full help." Su Xingjian''s eyes lightened slightly, and he understood Xia Yu''s meaning, and his mind suddenly became active. He himself has two children. The Monroe family is also a small family in England. He is the patriarch of the Monroe family. He suddenly realized that although he was going to be a puppet in Xiangjiang this time, if he could have a good relationship with Xia Yu, it might not be an opportunity to grow his family quickly. This might be a huge opportunity! He also inquired that Xia Yu has good connections at the top level in the UK and is the head of a consortium. As long as Xia Yu is willing to help him sincerely, then the next generation of Monroe family members will have a bright future whether they are in business or politics. His Monroe family might become a big family in Britain... With this idea, Su Xingjian''s mentality changed significantly, his tone became softer unconsciously, and his posture was lowered. "Mr. Xia, thank you, you are the first friend I have made since I came to Xiangjiang, and you will be the most sincere friend..." Next, the two chatted very comfortably. They talked until more than nine o''clock in the evening, when Su Xingjian realized that it was too early to say goodbye. Xia Yu personally sent him out and waved his hand to watch his car disappear into the night. PS: The second one will be sent, ask for a recommended monthly pass! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1122: Power in politics Two days after the departure of Xia Yu''s house, the welcome party for Su Xingjian was held by the Hong Kong political and business circles at the Peninsula Hotel. As the owner of The Peninsula Hotel, Xia Yu will of course not be absent. At the party, the close relationship between Su Xingjian and Xia Yu made everyone envious, and most people''s mentality changed as a result. After the welcoming ceremony, Su Xingjian finally devoted himself to organizing his team. The first big reshuffle in politics has officially begun! The incumbent officials began to show their magical powers, some just wanted to keep their positions, some wanted to change positions, and more wanted to go further. Except for some of the top leaders of various departments that need to be directly appointed by the British government, other deputy positions or even lower positions can be directly appointed by the governor. Su Xingjian is a party prince. Before indirect elections have been held, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils of the Hong Kong Municipal Councils are directly appointed by the Governor. Many big families or business tycoons want to place their own people into the two rounds, or into other key departments of the Hong Kong government, so that if the Hong Kong government has troubles, they can know the first time. The speed of obtaining political information greatly affects the obtaining of interests. And the political arena has its own people, who can always make oneself safer. The political situation in the previous MacLehose period was stable, and it was difficult for many unwilling people to do it. But as the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtier, now that Su Xingjian takes office, then the opportunity is here! For this reason, all kinds of invitations flew into Su Xingjian''s office like snowflakes, all wanting to show his favor or carry out secret activities. For a time, the undercurrent of the Hong Kong political arena surging, which in turn affected the shock of the business community. Under this situation, Xia Yu received a call from Liang Dingbang and learned that his faction¡¯s members were being run on, and the situation was in a crisis, and the team members were also at a loss. Considering that he has already settled the British government and the Governor of Hong Kong, and that his constraints in the political arena of Hong Kong have completely disappeared, Xia Yu thinks it is time for a big move. He, the master behind the scenes, should also gather everyone underneath to meet together to stabilize the military! Also avoid the occurrence of flooding the Dragon King Temple. Of course, Xia Yu also didn''t want to expose his power in the political circle, causing the Xiangjiang River to stir. Therefore, on the evening of May 28th, Xia Yu specially held a party in one of his secret large sea view villas. The party stipulated that only the invited person could come, and other outsiders, including female companions, were forbidden! In the evening, a politician in formal clothes entered the villa with an invitation letter. Liang Dingbang and Wang Qi came forward to greet him. The former was Xia Yu¡¯s first agent in politics, and the latter was his left and right arm. Wang Qi is also managing the Evergreen Fund, which is sufficient to represent his will and serves politicians, and he knows most people. As for Xia Yu himself, he had already arrived, but he didn''t show up early, but chatted with people on the second floor of the villa. It is not someone else who chats with him, it is Li Junxia and Xia Jun. Today, in the face of Xia Yu, who has a lofty status and has given her son a great help, Li Junxia has not met Xia Yu on an equal footing, but has wisely placed himself in the position of Xia Yu''s subordinates. Therefore, when chatting, Li Junxia called Xia Yu "Mr. Xia", and Xia Yu directly called his name. "Jun Xia, I heard that there have been major changes in the police department, right?" Xia Yu leaned back on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely, and asked casually. Li Junxia nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, my first brother Han Yili won''t move, but Liu Yusi of the management office has heard that he is active and plans to be transferred back to the UK next year. Yan Liguo of the operation office is very stable." "For this reason, the two senior assistant directors of the Personnel and Training Department, the Supervision Department, and the senior assistant director of the Operations Department all have ideas about the position of the deputy director." "The turmoil at the top has caused a series of effects as follows. Many people hope to go further." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "I remember that there is also a Senior Assistant Director of the Criminal and Security Department. Does he have no idea?" Li Junxia shook his head and said: "He didn''t, because he knows himself, he is the oldest of the four senior assistant directors, and his background is not deep enough. The current position is the highest position he can go to, so he only wants to be in this position now. Until retirement." "Is that so..." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. Suddenly, he said again: "Jun Xia, how many years have you been in this position now?" Li Junxia replied without hesitation: "I have been in the position of assisting the director for almost three years. Last year, I was only transferred to the current department at the same level." "It''s almost three years." "Well, the next year is the time of the general change. At that time, it is an opportunity. You should move." Xia Yu said with a light smile, as if the transfer was just a finger movement. Li Junxia was taken aback, then she was overjoyed, and asked with excitement, "Mr. Xia, what do you mean?" Xia Yu didn''t hide it, and said with a smile: "In the police department, there are 14 assistant police chiefs, four senior assistant chiefs, and there are only two deputy police chiefs." "In fact, the power of the Assistant Commissioner of Police is not small, but not big." "Your right now is still not worthy of your abilities. Since Liu Yusih has returned to the UK, then give him a push. No matter who they are, they will vacate a senior assistant director position. I will be here. I will push you back and push you to that position. After two years of hard work, until the general change of office in 1985, I will find a way to push you to become the Deputy Chief of Police." Hearing Xia Yu''s plan for himself, Li Junxia was overjoyed. It was not generally difficult to complete short-term jumps at such a high position. But he has confidence in Xia Yu. Since Xia Yu said so, he can definitely do it. Thinking of the position of the Deputy Chief of the Police Department beckoning to him a few years later, he became the third in command of the Police Department and enjoyed the boundless scenery, Li Junxia was once again glad that he followed the right person. We must know that he is only forty-five years old this year. It is the year of the fight. With Xia Yu''s energy, it is possible for him to become the first Chinese police chief in Hong Kong! Thinking of this, he stood up solemnly and bowed to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your importance to me, I will not let you down." Xia Yu laughed, beckoned to Li Junxia to sit down, and said jokingly: "I haven''t written the eight characters yet, don''t thank me so fast, what if I can''t do it?" Li Junxia smiled, and said with certainty: "If you can''t do it, who else can do it at Xiangjiang?" "Haha..." Xia Yu laughed. Seeing Xia Yu''s few words to determine Li Junxia''s political line, Xia Jun, who was silent on the side, was deeply moved. Unconsciously, Xia Yu''s energy was so terrifying. I want to help Xia Yu, but I don¡¯t know how long it will be... At this time, Xia Yu turned his head to find that Xia Jun¡¯s complexion was complicated. He smiled, patted Xia Jun¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Brother Jun, Jun Xia¡¯s position is more difficult to operate, but yours is better. You are in the position of trainee inspector. It¡¯s been a year since I was on my shoulders, and I have to put a bar on my shoulders." After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Li Junxia and asked: "Junxia, ??can you handle it? I can''t find someone else." Li Junxia said without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, I can handle it, up to a month!" Anyway, he is now the Chief Superintendent, five ranks higher than the Xia Jun. Not to mention that an inspector is promoted to a senior inspector ~ www.novelhall.com~ or a higher-level chief inspector to a superintendent can operate. In fact, he was already planning for Xia Jun''s promotion. Even if Xia Yu didn''t say anything, he would create a suitable opportunity for Xia Jun in two months at most. It''s just that now that Xia Yu has said, then he will also advance the plan. It is nothing more than that he has to work harder to plan and find a suitable opportunity for Xia Jun to minimize the discussion behind it. After all, Xia Jun is only this year. Twenty-two years old, he is already the highest position in the police department of his age, and he is already very dazzling. This is destined to attract a lot of attention every time he is promoted, and it is better to be less criticized. Xia Jun is a relative of Xia Yu, and he relies on Xia Yu, he naturally has to protect Xia Jun well. "A Yu, Sir Lee, thank you!" Xia Jun cleared up his mood and thanked him sincerely. "Brother Jun, we are brothers. If you help you, you are helping me. What are you talking about..." After chatting for a while, Xia Yu heard the footsteps coming from the stairs, and then saw Wang Qi walking up. "Chairman, everyone is here, do you want to go on now?" "Are you all there?" "It seems to be on time!" Looking at the time on his watch, Xia Yu said with a smile. Then he got up and took a few people to the top of the stairs. "Let''s go down..." PS: Tonight during the Mid-Year Festival, I went home to kill chickens and ducks to cook and wait for a long time. After dinner, it was past nine o''clock. I checked the government agencies and information before Xiangjiang 97, so there is only one update today. Please also forgive me. In addition, the starting point book review area of ??the book is holding a wall-breaking plan. Friends of the book shortage can check it out. They are all good books, and there are 200,000 starting points waiting for you! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1123: Behind the scenes When Xia Yu appeared from the top of the stairs, the originally lively hall was instantly quiet, and a pair of eyes looked at Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, good evening!" "Mr. Xia, good evening!" As one person said hello abruptly, the others hurriedly said hello. Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response to everyone, and then walked onto the temporary half-meter high stage, which made it easier for everyone to see him. "Hello everyone, I am Xia Yu, and welcome everyone to this special party tonight." "Papa..." After just saying a word, the warm applause came to mind. Xia Yu smiled and looked at it for ten seconds before raising his hand to signal everyone to stop. Then, Xia Yu smiled and said in a soothing tone: "I think there should be many of you who know each other, and of course some of you don''t." "But those who can come here tonight are my most sincere friends." "So I suggest that everyone come here to make a simple self-introduction, so that everyone present will know you." "Who would volunteer to be the first to come up?" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, someone shouted "I", and then quickly walked towards Xia Yu as everyone was watching. Volunteering is not someone else, it is Xia Yu''s first agent in the political circle-Liang Dingbang! Looking at Liang Dingbang with a confident and determined face, Xia Yu smiled at him, then temporarily walked off the stage and gave up his position to Liang Dingbang. "Hello everyone, I am Liang Dingbang. I am currently an unofficial member of the Legislative Council and the Deputy Registrar of the High Court of Hong Kong..." There are nine senior officials in the Hong Kong High Court. The chief justice is of course the highest position, followed by the registrar in second place, followed by the two deputy registrars in third and fourth, and the latter All are judges of the Court of Appeal. Liang Dingbang was only promoted to the position of deputy registrar by Xia Yu last year. Because of his short resume, his status and rights rank below another deputy registrar. However, because of his wide connections and hard background, even the Chief Justice gave Liang Dingbang a lot of face. Needless to say, the other deputy registrar did not dare to conflict with Liang Dingbang. This made Liang Dingbang a duck in the Xiangjiang High Court. . Because there are a lot of people, in order to save time, Liang Dingbang''s self-introduction took about fifty seconds. He only introduced his name and position, etc. The head he opened made Xia Yu very satisfied. When he got down, someone immediately went up, a man in Tang suit and glasses about fifty years old. "Hello everyone, I''m Yang Caineng, the current non-official member of the Legislative Council..." "Hello everyone, I am Lin Wenli, the current non-official member of the Executive Council..." "Hello everyone, I am Ren Haichuan, and my current position is the Deputy Director of the Industrial and Commercial Section of the Chief Secretary..." "Hello everyone, I am Pan upstream, and my current position is the Deputy Director of the Civil Service Section of the Chief Secretary..." ... Everyone knows that those who can come here tonight are those who have received Xia Yu''s funding and support. In terms of positions, everyone is the closest friend. This network of contacts is absolutely reliable. Because of this consciousness, everyone is very positive about introducing themselves on stage. When others introduced themselves, the people in the audience listened attentively and tried their best to remember the faces, names and positions of the corresponding people, so as not to make jokes later and to facilitate close contacts in the future. When they introduced themselves, Xia Yu, who was sitting in the audience, didn¡¯t need to listen so much, because he had a roster with head portraits provided by Wang Qi, which recorded his influence in the political arena of Xiangjiang. The page has a profile of a person. This roster is destined to be top-secret information, and leakage will definitely cause stormy waves, so it is destined that this roster will not be distributed to anyone present. After all, some things can be done, but the deadly handle cannot be left! Through this roster, Xia Yu finally has a clearer understanding of his political power, and he is no longer limited to knowing how many members of the Legislative Council belong to him. The first is the two councils, the Legislative Council and the Executive Council. The Legislative Council now has 21 official members and 20 non-official members, of which all official members are British, two of the non-official members are British, and the remaining 18 non-official members In the middle, there was one more person holding his thigh, now there are seven. They are Liang Dingbang, Yang Caineng, Guo Quming, Chen Bodu, Xue Hong, Dong Lin, and Huang Yude. The seven are secretly headed by Liang Dingbang. They are a powerful force in the Legislative Council, second only to the British. Compared with the Legislative Council, the Executive Council is much smaller. After all, the Executive Council has fewer people and is more critical. The Executive Council now has only fifteen members. In addition to the Governor serving as the Chairman of the Executive Council, the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, the Attorney General, and the garrison commander are ex officio members, equivalent to the Standing Committee. Among the remaining ten members, two are official members and eight are non-official members. The non-official member who turned to Xia Yu is Lin Wenli. Finally, Xia Yu opened a hole in the Executive Bureau. After two rounds, there were three. The Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, and the Department of Justice, the bosses of the three departments are called "the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, and the Department of Justice" respectively. The bosses of these three departments are all British, so Xia Yu must not be able to win them, and he is even more worried. However, there are many real power departments under these three departments. The largest and most powerful is the Chief Secretary''s Office, which has the Office of the Chief Secretary, Civil Service Branch, Administration Branch, Constitutional Affairs Branch, Transport Branch, Security Branch, Business Branch, Education Branch, Environment Branch, Labour and Welfare Branch Wait for more than a dozen departments, each of which has more than three subsidiary units. In accordance with Xia Yu''s order, Wang Qi recruited a Chinese with high status or great potential in each department. The most prominent representatives were Ren Haichuan, deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Division, and Pan upstream, deputy director of the Civil Service Division. (At that time, the leader of each department was not called the section chief like the mainland, but was called the division chief. After 1997, all major changes were made to conform to the mainland system.) Then there are Zhou Shanwen, the deputy director of the Financial Management Division, and Zhang Tianfeng, the director of the Economics Division, under the Financial Secretary... Yan Sen, Director of the International Law Division under the Department of Justice, and Ma Hong, Deputy Director of the Criminal Prosecution Division... Yang Yi, Chief Investigation Officer of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Then there are people from Xia Yu in the People''s Immigration Department, the Administrative Office, the General Administration of Home Affairs, and the Audit Department (the Audit Office of later generations). No way, his Jiuding consortium has great energy. Jiuding Securities has used the fund to build a huge network of contacts. In addition, there is a net to assist in investigating the details of everyone. There are many ways to win over a person. Don''t be too simple. In ancient times, the dialogue between Kangxi and Ji Xiaolan made this society very transparent-people who are bustling on the river are nothing more than fame and profit! In European and American capitalist societies, it is a very common operation for politicians to become capitalists'' agents. Otherwise, how can they make a fortune quickly? How can the legal investment channels provided by capitalists come from the comfort of embezzlement? In a capitalist society, the rights of politicians are not eternal. There is a good saying that rights need not expire. Therefore, politicians in a capitalist society will actively find partners or backers, and capitalists will carefully select agents. This kind of cooperation is two-way. Moreover, it is very difficult for the Chinese to rise in the political arena of Hong Kong, and it is difficult for people with weak backgrounds to rise. The investment support targets selected by the Jiuding Consortium are all carefully selected. Faced with the olive branch thrown by the Jiuding Consortium, no one will refuse, whether it is for money or for the future. Because of this, Xia Yu''s secret influence in the political circles of Xiangjiang expanded rapidly. After all, this world is the world of the strong... After half an hour, everyone introduced themselves. Xia Yu walked to the center of the stage again and said with a smile: "After listening to everyone''s self-introduction, a word came into my mind-Talented!" "Everyone sitting here is a top-to-one talent, but limited by the current environment, they can only succumb to their current positions and cannot make more contributions to the development of Xiangjiang." The people present were all human beings. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, they felt a little eager to move. Various thoughts appeared in their minds. Everyone looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, looking forward to his next words. Xia Yu smiled and continued: "The new governor takes office, and the situation in the political circles of Xiangjiang is now treacherous. I heard people say that everyone is a little worried, and some people have no confidence in their hearts." "It is for this reason that I invite everyone over tonight, with only one purpose, and that is to cheer everyone up." "Look at the people next to you. They are all your like-minded friends. With so many friends in the political arena, what can you worry about?" When Xia Yu said this, he paused for a while, glanced around, and found that many people nodded in agreement, and he couldn''t help feeling satisfied. Indeed, anyone who knows that he is not alone, there is a huge group behind him, and he will have more confidence. But this is not the ultimate goal of his party tonight. He continued to say aloud: "You may not know that I and the new governor are close friends. Now the Hong Kong political shuffle is a crisis for others, but I am here. You can rest assured that you will only be greeted by opportunity." "If you each feel that you have a chance, then write down your situation and expectations clearly and hand it over to Wang Qi, and then you can work with peace of mind. It is best if you can go further. If it doesn''t work this time, just wait for the next opportunity." "Of course, your positions are relatively high, and it is very difficult to go further. If there are outstanding young people under you, you can also recommend them together. You also need reliable subordinates." "That''s all for me. Next is the relaxation time. There are drinks and snacks next to you. Feel free to everyone." "If you want to talk to me, let''s sit down and talk slowly." "Papa..." In the warm applause, Xia Yu came down from the stage. Then he was surrounded by a group of people, and everyone seized the opportunity to have a few words with Xia Yu. And Xia Yu did not put on airs, which further promoted the atmosphere of the party to become more enthusiastic. That night''s party lasted until more than ten o''clock in the evening before it ended under Xia Yu''s interference. If he hadn''t stood up, he guessed that these people would have wanted to talk to him all night long. After the party, the cohesion of the group with him as the core behind the scenes rose to several levels. Everyone handed over their own situation and possible opportunities, as well as the list of subordinates to Wang QiWang Qina Later, it will be handed over to Xia Yu, and then Xia Yu will be handed over to the Jiuding Think Tank Institute of Politics, and let them formulate a targeted route, and then the consortium will implement it. Although all the members of Xia Yu''s political team have met, these people bear in mind that they are low-key and confidential. No one dared to disclose the team''s situation, let alone stab Xia Yu out. The more you realize the horror of Xia Yu, the more you dare not do things like hitting a rock with a pebbles. What''s more, is it necessary to fail with your own future? Isn''t he fragrant holding the first golden thigh of Xiangjiang? With the passage of time, the storm in Hong Kong¡¯s political arena is getting bigger and bigger, with departmental personnel turnover every day, and various behind-the-scenes transactions and confrontations behind the scenes. Among these, the biggest winner is destined to be Xia Yu! This time is an excellent opportunity. Although Su Xingjian is willing to cooperate closely with Xia Yu, as the Governor of Xiangjiang, Su Xingjian still has a lot of autonomy and freedom, and there is a certain risk, and Xia Yu does not need to find him every time. Costly. There are too many deals with him, and it is easy for him and the British government to figure out the details. As long as they build their own political power, many things can be done directly by them. Many things can be done without Su Xingjian not clear. How can Su Xingjian know everything about the entire governor''s palace in detail? Amidst all the disturbances, the time has come to June... PS: This chapter is powerful enough. In order to sort out these departments and forces, the head is big. There is still a chapter in the evening, and the exact time is uncertain. In addition, I ask for a monthly pass for recommendation tickets, especially subscriptions. It is estimated that I will finally have a recommendation. Help me seize the opportunity, thank you! (These words are free, don¡¯t worry) https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1124: Tiangong Automobile is about to put into production "Tuk tuk!" This morning, after Xia Yu came to the company to handle some work, Huo Jianning appeared at the door, tapping his fingers on the office door. "Jianning, is the time up?" After Xia Yu looked at the incoming person, a sudden look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at his watch as he spoke. "Yes, chairman, are you past now?" Huo Jianning said softly after coming in. "Let''s go, let''s see what the construction looks like after so long." While talking, Xia Yu came out of his position, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the door. More than half an hour later. Accompanied by Li Qian and Huo Jianning, Xia Yu''s motorcade came to Yuen Long, New Territories. As the team passed by the new town of Tin Shuiwei, which was under development, the sharp-eyed Huo Jianning reminded Xia Yu that he saw the Governor''s car on the side of the road, and the nearby construction site happened to be hung with the big sign of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. Xia Yu simply let the convoy drop its head, parked directly near the governor''s convoy, and got out of the car. Soon, the bodyguard told Xia Yu what he had observed. After learning the position of Governor Su Xingjian, Xia Yu strode towards that side. Su Xingjian, who was watching the construction site, was reminded by his subordinates and found Xia Yu and his party walking towards him. "Mr. Xia, hello!" "Governor Su, good morning!" "Mr. Xia, I came to Tin Shui Wai today. I heard from the people below that Tin Shui Wai is basically developed by your company, and the engineering safety quality is the best, so I stopped by to have a look. I didn''t expect to meet you." "Governor Su, I also happened to see your car. I planned to go to Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park to see the construction of some of my factories. What a coincidence! Haha..." "Oh? According to the itinerary, I plan to visit the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park later, it seems we are on the way..." "Will you be together later?" "Okay!" ... After a few simple smiles. Xia Yu looked at the real estate under construction, and asked Su Xingjian: "Governor Su, do I have any problems with the construction site? I am a fan of the authorities. If you have any, please point it out and let them make corrections." Hearing this, after Xia Yu arrived, the person in charge of the construction site, who just asked hello and kept silent, trembled in his heart and looked at Su Xingjian nervously. Su Xingjian smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, I walked down the road and saw a lot of construction sites. Generally speaking, your Jiuding Infrastructure Company''s construction site management is very strict, and the construction standards are very high. What are the problems? ." "I heard them say that this is the public housing you built for hundreds of thousands of people in Tin Shui Wai last year in cooperation with the Hong Kong government. I am amazed by your generous amount and the progress of the project!" Xia Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Governor Su, this is what we should do. It is not worthy of your praise." Having said that, Xia Yu also glanced at the borderless construction site. Near and in the distance are residential buildings rising from the ground, each of which has more than 20 floors and is already laying bricks. It will be fully completed this year. This progress made him very satisfied. Next, Xia Yu simply accompanied Su Xingjian to continue to look at other projects, such as road administration projects, power system construction projects, etc. Jiuding Infrastructure Company and China Light & Power Co., Ltd. were responsible for the construction. The inspections are all very good, it can be called a conscience project, and it did not violate his principles. Later, Xia Yu''s motorcade merged with the motorcade of the Government House and headed to the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. The Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is close to the new town of Tin Shui Wai, just a few minutes'' drive away. When Xia Yu got off the car, he found that earth-shaking changes had taken place here. The originally endless farmland, fish ponds and wilderness all disappeared. Instead, there are low-rise modern industrial plants, or busy construction sites that are still under construction. Between the factories, there is a flat and wide asphalt road. There are no visible and many vehicles on the road. Obviously, the industrial park is already in full play. "Governor Su, do you want to go to the factory of Tiangong Automobile together?" Xia Yu smiled and extended an invitation to Su Xingjian. Su Xingjian''s heart moved, and he nodded happily: "Of course, I heard that the largest plants in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park are the factories of Tiangong Motors and Rolls-Royce Motor Group. Many companies are supporting enterprises of these two companies. " "It can be said that the future of Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park depends on the pillar of automobiles!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Governor Su, there is still a few hundred meters away from the factory building of Tiangong Automobile. Let''s take a car!" "Ok." After speaking, the group of people got into the car again, and the team followed Huo Jianning''s guidance and soon came to the door of Tiangong Automobile''s factory. As soon as Xia Yu got off the car, he saw Chen Caijun, the president of Tiangong Automobile Group who had been waiting for a long time, a talent promoted from the original Jardine Auto Group. "Chairman, welcome to you!" "This is Governor Su Xingjian!" "Governor Su, this is Chen Caijun, the president of Tiangong Automobile Group." "Mr. Governor, hello, and welcome your guidance." "Hello there!" ... After a brief greeting, Xia Yu ordered Chen Caijun to take everyone to see the factory. Because it has not yet started to produce cars, nor is it in a dust-free workshop, there is no need to wear dustproof clothing. After walking into Factory No. 1, Xia Yu found that the interior of the factory was very large, spacious and bright. On the ground, many workers are busy, and there are many machinery and equipment piled on the ground. Chen Caijun immediately introduced: "Chairman, Mr. Governor, Plant No. 1 is the first plant to be built, so it is already assembling and debugging the automobile production line." "The annual output of this production line is 50,000 vehicles, which is a medium-sized production line." "According to the plan, complete vehicle production will be officially launched in January next year." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said softly: "Come and take a look!" With that, the group walked forward and came to the car production line that was being assembled, watching the white engineer leading a few Chinese workers to install and debug the machine in front of them. At the sign of Chen Caijun, the white engineer stopped his work, greeted Xia Yu and Su Xingjian, and began to explain. After listening to the explanation, Su Xingjian asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, has Tiangong Automobile''s production matured so quickly?" He also has an understanding of the automobile industry. It is not that simple for an automobile company to complete the construction from scratch. Xia Yu explained with a smile: "Governor Su, Tiangong Automobile Group has a full set of production technology for automobile manufacturing, which comes from Rolls Royce Motor Group." Su Xingjian was suddenly stunned. Of course, he has heard of the name of the first Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the UK, and he also knows that the Rolls-Royce Motor Group has completed mergers and acquisitions of a bunch of automobile companies in the past, and there are not too many automobile production technologies and patents. Moreover, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group belongs to the Guangming Fund. With the relationship between Xia Yu and the Guangming Fund, it makes sense to get all the technologies for automobile production. He stopped worrying about this, and asked Chen Caijun again: "President Chen, according to your company''s production plan ~ www.novelhall.com ~ how much annual output can you reach next year?" After taking a look at Xia Yu, Chen Caijun answered truthfully: "Mr. Governor, according to the first phase plan, the annual output of cars can reach 100,000. If the sales market next year is good, then the second phase production line will be assembled immediately." "Now the second phase of the plant is under construction, and it will definitely be completed this year. If you want to increase production at that time, you only need to assemble the production line, and the efficiency will be very fast!" The people around who were listening suddenly understood. Next, Xia Yu and others visited the Tiangong Automobile Group for a while, and then went to the factory area of ??Rolls-Royce Motor Group. The progress of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group''s plant area is faster than that of the Tiangong Motor Group. The production capacity is also 100,000 vehicles, mainly for the production of existing brands of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. No new brands will be opened. . This is how the morning passed. After arranging a light meal nearby at noon, Su Xingjian and his party left. But Xia Yu stayed. His subsidiaries in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park are not limited to the Tiangong Automobile Group and the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. According to Huo Jianning''s statistics, there are dozens of companies. Among them, there is his main goal this time, which is also the company directly managed by Huo Jianning-Tiangong Electronics Group. Today, Tiangong Electronics Group is incredible, and it is already one of the electronics giants in Asia! And has invested heavily in technology research and development. With a sense of anticipation, Xia Yu went to the Tiangong Electronics Group Park under the leadership of Huo Jianning. PS: The second one is late, and it¡¯s half past ten to return to the room after working overtime. I am depressed. Please forgive me! Ask for a ticket! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1125: $400 million in sales Unlike the plant of Tiangong Automobile Group, the production plant of Tiangong Electric has been put into use. The production is nothing but the Tiangong brand walkman and game console. Of course, Tiangong Electronics, as an Asian electronics giant, certainly has more than these two types of products, but these two categories are the two pillars that support Tiangong Electronics to become an Asian electronics giant. Xia Yu first went to the factory where Tiangong Electronics produced the Walkman. In order to ensure the high-quality product rate, the factory production area is dust-free management, Xia Yu and others deliberately changed the dust-proof clothing to enter the workshop, after entering the busy scene can be seen. Huo Jianning called the production supervisor to give a guide introduction for everyone. "Chairman, President, this line is now the production line of SP-S1 Walkman, the daily assembly capacity can reach 1,000 units, and the pass rate is over 99%." "There is a specific production process here." After listening, Xia Yu motioned to the production supervisor to lead the way and watch them all. It took Xia Yu more than ten minutes to walk around and listen to the explanation. This Tiangong SP-S1 Walkman is the first Walkman of Tiangong Electronics, and it is also a classic one. Under the guidance of Xia Yu last year, Tiangong Technology Laboratory made extensive improvements to the original semi-finished products, and all performances completely gave Sony''s flagship model to the PK. The specific parameters of Tiangong SP-S1 are: the body measurements are 80x115x29mm, the weight is 270g, the power supply is two dry batteries, the battery life is 8 hours, the maximum output power is 20mw+20mw, and the frequency response range is 40-12000Hz. , With a touch button system, FM recording function and playback function, using the most advanced Dolby sound effects, with a major 20g headset, there are three colors of bright silver, sky blue, pink. As for the price, it is positioned at about five dollars lower than Sony''s flagship model, and the price at Jiuding Electric Supermarket in Xiangjiang is even lower. On September 1st last year, Tiangong Electronics held grand press conferences in New York, the island nation of Tokyo, London, and Hong Kong, and the consortium¡¯s media had large-scale publicity. The press conference alone astounded many reporters and Walkman fans, and then set off a sales frenzy. Brands such as Sony and Philips were caught off guard and completely compared their products! Because the touch button system, FM recording function and playback function are the unique patents of Tiangong Walkman, the weight is also the lightest, but the price is lower than Sony''s flagship model. In particular, compared to Sony and Philips¡¯ models with only one color, Tiangong Walkman has three colors to choose from: bright silver, sky blue, and pink. This is based on Xia Yu¡¯s experience with later generations of mobile phones. The use of these technologies is extremely attractive to consumers. In the month of release alone, 300,000 units were sold worldwide! In December, the Christmas season in Europe and America, global sales reached 400,000 units. According to statistics, 160,000 families took Tiangong SP-S1 as gifts for their children on Christmas Day. As of last month, the total sales volume of Tiangong SP-S1 has reached 1.78 million units, and global sales have exceeded US$400 million! Gross profit reached 200 million US dollars! However, it has been nine months since the release of Tiangong SP-S1. Companies such as Sony and Philips have also launched flagship products that are not inferior to Tiangong SP-S1 this year. Of course, the price is that after some patent exchanges, they have Tiangong Electronics paid a patent fee. Like the Walkman made by Sony, there is generally a fee of six US dollars for the licensing of patented technology. In order to reduce costs, Sony has to continue to invest in research and development, hoping to develop new technologies to regain the commanding heights. And Tiangong Electronics has not been immersed in the book of credit, and has also invested a large amount of money in technology research and development. So after simply viewing the production line, Xia Yu went to the Tiangong Technology Laboratory under the leadership of Huo Jianning. The Tiangong Technology Laboratory has moved here from the Jiulong Industrial Park. There is a separate building. The building has a very strong security force. Security personnel are patrolling around the clock. This is what Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to do before. Although some people seem to be suspicious of making a fuss, Xia Yu knows the importance of technology, which is the lifeblood of a technology company. Now Tiangong Electronics may not have a strong technical background, but it will definitely become stronger in the future. If the rules are not established now, it will be too late if something happens later. After verifying their identities, Xia Yu and others entered the building of Tiangong Technology Laboratory, turned left and right and walked a long distance, and finally found Dr. Chao Lu, who was doing experiments in a laboratory. "Chairman, President, good afternoon!" After seeing the person, Lu Chao put down his work, pushed his glasses, and greeted Xia Yu and Huo Jianning. "Dr. Lu, let me take a look. I heard Jianning talk about your contribution to the company. Thanks for your hard work!" Xia Yu shook his hand and said affirmatively. Lu Chao smiled, with a very calm mind, and said modestly: "Chairman, this is what I should do. I have to thank you for providing me with such a complete and free experimental environment." Huo Jianning suddenly interrupted and explained to Xia Yu: "Chairman, Dr. Lu is a workaholic who often wastes sleep and food to do experiments. I can''t persuade him, because he is afraid that his body can''t bear it." "But it is precisely because of his work attitude and ability that under his leadership, the scientific research atmosphere of the entire experimental department is soaringThe efficiency of technology research and development is very high!" Hearing Huo Jianning''s words, Lu Chao smiled slightly and said: "President, you have a good reputation, I am not tired at all, I am still having fun." Hearing this, Huo Jianning gave Xia Yu a helpless smile. "Haha..." Xia Yu suddenly laughed with emotion and said with concern to Lu Chao: "Dr. Lu, the body is the capital of the revolution. Experiments are to be carried out. You should rest when you need to rest. In addition to work, you and your family, they will also worry!" "Thank you for your concern, Chairman!" Lu Chao said moved. Xia Yu looked at Huo Jianning again and asked, "Jianning, is there a special gym in the experimental building?" Huo Jianning was taken aback, shook his head and said: "Chairman, this is my mistake. There is a special activity room, but there is no gym. I will arrange one immediately. There are still many vacant offices in the experimental building." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it''s done as soon as possible. Occasionally, exercise may inspire inspiration." After that, Xia Yu asked Lu Chao: "Dr. Lu, are there many products and technical issues developed here now?" Lu Chao thought for a while and said, "There are fourteen, including Walkman laboratory, communication laboratory, communication laboratory, power laboratory..." "Which one do you want to go first?" Hearing this series of laboratory names, Xia Yu became interested. But he had to come one by one. After thinking about it, he said: "Let''s go to the Walkman laboratory first and see the development of new products." "Okay, please follow me!" After all, Lu Chao took Xia Yu and others out of the laboratory and went to the Walkman laboratory... PS: First, ask for more votes! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1126: An epoch-making technology has been developed! "Chairman, here it is!" When he came to a door, Lu Chao said as he opened the door. Xia Yu looked at the sign on the door, and it did say "Walkman Laboratory". After opening the door, the layout inside came into view. In fact, this door is the outermost door. The space inside is very wide. In addition to the middle hall, you can also see many separate compartments. In the hall, there are also many counters on a circle. There are five or six people working on the instrument. "Chairman, they are now experimenting according to their respective division of labor." "The second-generation Walkman is in it, please follow me!" Then everyone entered a laboratory again. After entering, Xia Yu ignored the experimenters inside and locked his eyes directly in a glass cabinet. When I approached, I saw a five-color Walkman lying quietly in the glass cabinet. Lu Chao opened the glass cabinet, took out all of it, and then began to introduce it. "Chairman, this Walkman is the second-generation Walkman we developed. The model is SP-S2. These five types are just different in color. We have done more than 20 color evaluations before and finally evaluated these five colors. The score is higher." "In terms of parameters, please read the manual!" "In order to be more intuitive, you can also read this manual. This is the parameters of the SP-S1 Walkman." With that said, Lu Chao handed the two product manuals to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu took it, he carefully looked at the dense small prints on it. After comparison, Xia Yu found that the parameters of the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman were optimized. Such as body size and weight. The measurements of the SP-S1 model are 80x115x29mm, and the body weight is 270g. The SP-S2 has a measurement of 75x110x26mm and a body weight of 220g. All have a certain degree of improvement. The weight reduction is mainly due to the use of lighter materials. Because of the volume problem of the tape, it is difficult to reduce the measurements of the Walkman. If you want to reduce it, you can also increase the thickness. Make a fuss. In terms of functions, the SP-S2 model retains the excellent features of the SP-S1 model, such as a touch button system, FM recording function and playback function. On this basis, automatic rewinding, repeat playback technology and better noise reduction technology are added. The Dolby sound effect used is also the latest generation, and the sound quality is better. The weight of the headset has also changed from 20g in the previous generation to 18g. The colors are black, star blue, bright yellow, bright silver, and pink. After reading this parameter, Xia Yu has only one feeling, that is, most of the functions of the previous mature Walkman are already equipped! After putting down the product manual, Xia Yu picked up a star-blue walkman and asked, "Is there a tape here?" "some!" As Lu Chao spoke, he took out a tape from the box on the side and handed it to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu put the tape in, put on the headphones, and then pressed the play button. After a familiar prelude, Ye Liyi''s bold singing sounded. "...The waves are rushing~the waves~the waves of thousands of miles, the waves of the river never stop~" "It''s exhausted~ world affairs~ mixed up and trending~" "It''s hi~ it''s sad~" "..." Listening to it, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth suddenly evoked. He suddenly thought that when "Shanghai Shanghai" had caused a craze before, Universal Music had sold Ye Liyi''s album with "Shanghai Shanghai" as the main song for ten. The sales volume of platinum is 300,000 copies! Classic songs are really classic songs, no matter when you listen to them, they all feel good. Of course, in terms of sound quality, Xia Yu still heard some rustling sounds. He pointed out this question: "Dr. Lu, when I listen to the tape, I seem to hear some sandy sound. There is room for improvement in the sound quality. This is not a problem with vinyl tape, right?" Seeing Lu Bo''s expression of shame, Huo Jianning stood up and explained: "Chairman, Dr. Lu and I have also discovered this problem. This is the sound of tape reading. This is a common problem with all walkers on the market now. For products on the market, our model has achieved very good sound quality." "But you are right, there is indeed room for improvement, and it is already under development." Xia Yu thoughtfully: "Since it is a common situation and is still at a leading level, it doesn''t matter for the time being, it can be released." "When is this product going to be launched?" "What are the costs and pricing?" When it comes to product production and sales, it doesn''t matter to Lu Chao. Huo Jianning took the initiative to stand up and said: "Chairman, the Tiangong SP-S1 product was launched on September 1st last year, and this second product is also going to be launched on September 1, which is exactly the first anniversary." "Because the Tiangong SP-S1 model has now sold 1.78 million units, and it will be sold for three months. It is expected that sales will exceed 2 million units." "Our Tiangong SP-S2 model has the best features on the market and has the reputation of the previous model. Therefore, we estimate that the annual sales volume of the Tiangong SP-S2 model will be 2 million units. " "According to this quantity, the cost is calculated. The cost of each unit is 44 US dollars, the ex-factory price is 178 US dollars, and the guide retail price is 235 US dollars." "The ex-factory price and the guide retail price are both raised by seven dollars compared to the previous generation model. This price, combined with our functions, also has a strong competitive advantage." Xia Yu nodded slightly: "Just have a plan." He believed that Huo Jianning was a reasonable person and would not do anything unsure. Since he said he was competitive, Xia Yu believed in competitiveness. Whether it was true or not, it was clear at the end of the year that the financial report was. As for the hardware cost, there are only two levels that guide the retail price. This is normal, because it does not include technology research and development costs and subsequent marketing costs. These two costs are destined to be lower than Sony. After all, the former is done by Xia Yu. Strategy guides research and development related functions, the latter is the entire consortium owns media and offline resources. If Tiangong Electronics can achieve such a high gross profit, Sony certainly cannot! Just like when the later generations of Apple looked down on the world, relying on the advantages of various barriers, wouldn''t they sell phones that cost more than 1,000 yuan? There is no need to deliberately probe into trade secrets for this, as you can see from the future generations of Apple¡¯s annual financial reports. Xia Yu should make this money now! You can¡¯t make more money than Sony with so many hangings, so it¡¯s a fart! Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the bright silver Walkman in front of him, and a touch of inspiration emerged in his mind, and he said: "When it is released, some special collector''s version of the Walkman can be made, which is convenient for marketing." Huo Jianning''s brows narrowed slightly and asked puzzledly: "Please direct!" Xia Yudan said with a smile: "For example, United Eternal Jewelry Company has launched a walkman with one or two hundred shells made of gold and silver with a pure gold body and a sterling silver body. Another example is a diamond-studded walkman. There must be no shortage of maverick local tyrants, especially those in the Middle East who are risking money." "You can also create a unique Walkman in the world, and the rich can fight for it. These are all gimmicks, which greatly enhance the reputation." Huo Jianning''s eyes lit up and he nodded happily and said: "Chairman, I understand, I will do what you say." "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, then looked at the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman in front of him. He asked casually: "By the way, will this model be launched this year?" Unexpectedly, the random inquiry was unexpectedly answered. Lu Chao shook his head and said with a little excitement: "No, Chairman, we have also developed a Walkman, which is fundamentally different from Tiangong SP-S2. It uses CD discs. Tape record!" Xia Yu''s eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "The laser disk I told you last time was developed so quickly?" Xia Yu is not concerned about the second Walkman, he cares about CDs! This is an epoch-making technology! He talked a lot to Lu Chao last time, but he didn''t expect that he actually did it, and the efficiency was so high! This surprise came too suddenly! PS: The most boring and boring thing is to check technical information. I study chemistry, not physics! W(£þ_£þ)W Please also ask for monthly and recommended tickets, thank you! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1127: There are 2 more questions! Lu Chao said modestly: "Chairman, it is mainly your contribution." After speaking, he explained: "The most difficult part of a technology is the experimental period of finding a path. It requires hundreds or even thousands of tests, and constantly explores to find the correct method and path. This starts from nothing. The exploration is the most labor-intensive and resource-intensive." "But you have already told me about the principle of photoelectric conversion technology and pulse technology last time. According to the direction you said, we quickly found the correct R&D path, and the company is also constantly digging for scientific research talents to join, regardless of cost. Resources, so we can produce results so quickly." Xia Yu suddenly understood. It seems that the hanger he opened was used by Lu Chao. But this also reflects Lu Chao''s powerful ability. Knowing the principle is one thing, and being able to develop it from scratch is another. "Dr. Lu, you don''t have to be humble, to be able to develop it so quickly, you and your team have a huge contribution!" He faced Huo Jianning as Lu Chao and said: "Jianning, remember these things. At the end of the year, you have to reward Dr. Lu and his team if you are rewarded. Don''t be stingy." "Okay, Chairman!" Huo Jianning obediently responded. A knowing smile appeared on Lu Chao''s face. Although he doesn''t love money, he also knows that other members of the team need money to live. The chairman can pay attention to this, which makes him feel very comfortable. If you are in a good mood, you will naturally be motivated to work. He said to Xia Yu with great interest: "Chairman, please follow me, the CD player is in another laboratory." ... Soon, everyone came to the CD Walkman laboratory. This time without Xia Yu, Lu Chao directly took out a sample of the CD player, and also took out a CD disc in a box. The CD Walkman is different from ordinary portables. The most intuitive aspect is the shape. It is a box with a smaller thickness and similar length and width. There is also a circular lid on the surface that almost touches both sides. Xia Yu knows where it is. It¡¯s a CD. Sure enough, Lu Chao gave a presentation while giving an introduction. He pressed a button, and the round cover on the CD player popped up. He introduced: "Chairman, the playing principle of this CD player is the same. Just put the CD in, change the cover and press Press the play button to play music." "This CD has been burned into the song, I personally think the sound quality of the song is better than the vinyl record." After speaking, Lu Chao put the CD record in, then pressed the play button, picked up the headset and handed it to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu took it, he put it in his ear and closed his eyes to listen. A minute later, he took off the headphones and said with a little satisfaction: "Yes, the sound quality is clearer than that of a vinyl record." At this time, Lu Chao poured cold water and said: "Chairman, you and I think that the sound quality of CD records is better, but we have tested it before. Vinyl records and CD records burn the same songs, but after playing A few people think that the sound of CD records is distorted, not as real as vinyl records." A comparison test has already been done! This argument has emerged as soon as it was developed! He remembered that in the past, the music industry and the audience had quarreled about the sound reproduction and distortion of CD records and vinyl records. It can be said that the public is justified, and there has never been a conclusive argument. I don¡¯t know what Lu Chao¡¯s view of the researcher in the blink of an eye is? He asked curiously: "Dr. Lu, do you think CD records are more distorted than vinyl records?" Lu Chao shook his head without hesitation and said, "Of course not, I think CD records are more fidelity!" Without waiting for Xia Yu''s question, he directly stated the basis of his opinion. "Chairman, I am making a dialectical comparison from a scientific point of view." "In fact, as long as you understand the difference between the recording methods of CD records and vinyl records, you can make a clear and positive judgment." "Vinyl is produced through the pattern of sound, electrical signal and mechanical signal. This process seems to have no loss, but in fact, the mechanical loss is particularly large in this step. Any mechanical transmission will be affected by the environment, temperature, gravity, etc. , The same problem exists when replaying vinyl records." "The vinyl master tape must have the least loss. If you want to copy and burn again, the loss may only increase. Consumers can only get the copy and burn disc instead of the master tape." "The CD is generated by digital sampling and recording of digital signals. There is indeed a loss in the sampling process, because the sampling rate determines the audio range, but the CD sampling rate is high enough to exceed the hearing range of the human ear, so from this point on It doesn''t make sense to see the so-called \''lossy\''. What is lost is the part that is inaudible to human ears. This loss can be described as "clearly priced", and the entire CD system has no other losses except for this loss. " "Of course there is also the loss of line equipment, but vinyl also has the same problem, so these points offset each other." "Once the analog signal is digitized, it is lossless regardless of propagation, copying and recording. The data on the CD has sufficient redundancy and error correction functions to ensure that the copied disc and the master tape are exactly the same." "So with the same equipment level, the sound quality of CD records is definitely better than that of vinyl records!" After listening to Lu Chao''s concise and clear analysis, Xia Yu suddenly understood. In this analysis, it is true that the sound quality of CD records is better. Of course, everyone''s auditory system is different, and there are always people who have different, not to mention the existence of auditory illusions. This is destined to be controversial after being introduced to the market. But a small number of people can just give up and assimilate slowly later! After that, he read the product manual of this CD Walkman again, and learned that the model is Tiangong CD-P1, the body measurements are 130x140x17mm, the body weight is 290g, the headset weight is 18g, the power supply is two dry batteries, and the battery life For 8 hours, the maximum output power is 20mw+20mw, and the frequency response range is 40-22050Hz. The upper limit of the frequency response range of the CD player is almost twice that of the vinyl player! Generally speaking, in the range that the human ear can perceive, the larger the upper limit of the frequency response range, the more three-dimensional the sound heard. This is a big selling point. Xia Yu put down the Walkman and took out the CD alone. After looking at it, he asked, "Dr. Lu, are there any loopholes in the patent for CDs? To what extent have Sony and Philips researched it?" After recalling it for a while, Lu Chao replied in detail: "Chairman, President Huo is very much due to this in terms of patents. Thanks to him, we can have a certain advantage in technology patents." Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Huo Jianning in surprise, but saw Huo Jianning smile modestly. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Jianning, tell me how you did it?" Huo Jianning said what he had done before: "In fact, I heard from Dr. Lu before that in the field of CD laser discs, many companies in the world are conducting research and development, but the pioneers are Sony and Philips in the Netherlands. The two companies established the Red Book standard in 1980, which is nothing but a CD-DA disc standard." "The CD-DA disc standard contains many basic technologies for CD discs. Not all of these patented technologies are occupied by Philips and Sony, but the two companies have exchanged patents and exchanged with other companies in the world. Part of the patents, and then preemptively formulate the Red Book standard, ready to become the industry''s standard setters, occupying the highest position." "When the Red Book standard was just released, Sony and Philips took the lead, and other large companies were catching up. Therefore, they also need more companies to recognize the Red Book standard and fill the track as much as possible. Avoid other peer groups to establish another standard." "At that time, we had not released the Tiangong SP-S1 Walkman, and the relationship with Philips and Sony was not bad. I applied to join the Red Book standard in advance, obtained the right to use the basic patented technology, and paid for some patents. " "That''s it." As soon as Huo Jianning''s voice fell, Lu Chao immediately said: "Combined with the technology of the Red Book standard, I have developed a CD-ROM format disc based on your guidance from the chairman." "According to the news I heard, Sony and Philips are also doing related research and development, but I can be sure that they have not developed a finished product yet, and we are catching up." "Because the patent is going to be registered, the news that we are studying the technology has inevitably leaked, causing hostility between Sony and Philips, but it doesn''t matter now." "I know." Xia Yu said softly has understood the whole situation. He smiled and praised Huo Jianning: "Jianning, you have done a good job of taking precautions!" Huo Jianning said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, the chairman. I learned this from you. I take three steps to do things. Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. Huo Jianning succeeded in stealing chickens, which avoided great trouble for Tiangong Electronics and solved the basic patent problem. Fortunately, when Tiangong Electronics showed that humans and animals were harmless, it joined the Red Book standard and purchased patents. If this is the case, Tiangong Electronics will absolutely not be able to buy patents. Philips and Sony will absolutely block the technology and let the sky Industrial electronics has second-generation technology and cannot be commercialized. "Of course, Dr. Lu, thanks to your research and development of the technology so quickly, you have worked hard!" Xia Yu looked at Dr. Chao Lu again and said affirmatively. Lu Chao replied humbly: "Chairman, researching technology is my duty, otherwise I would be ashamed to receive such a high salary from you." Xia Yu smiled, no longer entangled in this, but asked the last key question. "After listening to what you said, I probably understand it. In other words, this is a finished product. Can it be marketed?" Hearing this question, Lu Chao looked helpless and looked at Huo Jianning. Huo Jianning looked embarrassed and said, "Chairman, there are two more problems with this CD player. I can''t make up my mind. I still need your instructions." Xia Yu''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slightly: "Let''s talk about these two questions." PS: I left the door, and I arrived home at more than 10:20 at night, so today I can only write 3,000 words in this chapter, and I will update it tomorrow. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1128: Record Empire-PolyGram Huo Jianning looked a little dignified, and slowly said: "The first problem is cost. The production process requirements for CD discs and CD walkmans are very high, and production costs cannot be lowered temporarily." "The production department has done a detailed calculation. If the annual output is set at 100,000 units, the cost of each CD player will be 162 US dollars. This cost is very close to the Tiangong SP-S1 walkman. Wholesale price!" "Considering a series of uncertain costs such as the company''s operations, follow-up technology R&D investment, and marketing, the ex-factory price should be controlled at 575 dollars, and the unified official retail price would have to be around 760 dollars. ." "The price is too high, more than three times that of Tiangong SP-S1 Walkman." "Such a high price will seriously hinder the development of the CD walkman market, and sales prospects are uncertain." "So now the company can''t make a final conclusion about whether to launch it now, or to research and develop for a period of time to address the cost issue, and wait for the cost to drop before commercial production." After speaking, Huo Jianning looked straight at Xia Yu, waiting for his opinion. The inability to reach a consensus within the company actually means that he is still hesitating. If he is the president of the company, how can the people below dare to object? It is not that simple to introduce a product to the market, especially if this product is used to open up the market for the first time. If it succeeds, it is good to say, if it fails, the impact will be very large. Even if it succeeds, it is not easy to sit back and relax, because the high price will limit the number of customer groups, even if it has an early advantage, as long as similar products can be sold at low prices, they can quickly seize the market. What Huo Jianning considers is whether to continue to reduce costs, and then seize the market as much as possible at one time and occupy an absolute leadership position, so that even in the face of later competitors, he can calmly respond to the competition. Xia Yu thought for a while, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I know your worry, but since the product has been developed, don''t waste time." "It doesn¡¯t matter if the price is high. Low prices have low-price marketing models, and high prices have high-priced marketing methods. The key is how to market. There is no shortage of rich people in the world. Some of them are enthusiasts of Walkman. Target this group of people to make a fuss." "As long as our products take these people down, they will naturally help us publicize, and our market position can be taken first." "The window period before other competitors launch the same product is the time for us to work hard to reduce costs. This requires you to work harder, Dr. Lu." "After our peers launch similar products, we will launch a second offensive to bring cost-reduced products to the market and continue to seize the low-end market." Upon hearing this, Lu Chao resolutely said: "Chairman, I will definitely go all out!" Xia Yu looked at Huo Jianning thoughtfully, and suggested: "Jianning, I have an idea in terms of marketing. You ask distributors all over the world to investigate all the fans of the Walkman. When the product is released In addition to responding to media resources, we also need to invite these influential fans to the scene, who are the spread and fermenters of our word of mouth." Huo Jianning nodded and said: "Chairman, I understand, I will do what you say." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and asked casually, "What is the second question?" Huo Jianning converged on the smile he had just shown, and took a deep breath and said: "Chairman, this second question is about CD records. CD records are a brand new market, unlike the vinyl record market that already exists, so we develop At the same time as the CD player, the CD record market must also be developed." "There is not enough supply of CD records, and consumers can''t use CD Walkmans." Hearing this, Xia Yu already understood what Huo Jianning meant, and his brows wrinkled. This is indeed a big problem. He thought for a while and asked: "Since you have considered this issue, you should have thought about how to promote CD records?" "Chairman, we have analyzed it." "This has to be linked to the current global music market. There are now two modes of record production. The first is asset-light management. Music companies do not have their own record production plants, but entrust albums to professional record production plants. Recording; the second is asset-oriented management. Music companies operate across the entire industry chain. Music companies have their own record recording factories, and they produce albums by themselves. Your Universal Music Company is the second mode." "Because of the technical problems of CD records, the cost of a recording device is five times that of mature vinyl record recording equipment, and the cost of CD discs is also higher than that of vinyl tapes." "So when the market is uncertain, other music companies and record production companies don¡¯t necessarily invest heavily in buying CD recording equipment from us, or even deliberately fight against them. After all, CD records are competitors of vinyl records and we have violated The interests of the original interests." "Your Universal Music Company will definitely support it, but Universal Music Company''s music copyright is very limited. UU Reading can not listen to our Mandarin and Cantonese songs in Europe and the United States." "In fact, this is the most critical issue, which is difficult to solve at the company level." "The most obvious thing is that Polygram International Co., Ltd., the world''s largest music giant, is now suppressed by Universal Music in Hong Kong, but its music library is much stronger than Universal Music." "I deliberately investigated that the predecessor of Polygram International Co., Ltd., DGG/PPI Group, was formed in 1962 by the merger of Philips Records under Philips and the world''s most famous classical music record company under Siemens. In the same year, it acquired the famous British classical music company Deca Records. Originally, Philips Music acquired Macquarie Records in the United States. Therefore, PolyGram International Limited¡¯s influence and music library spread all over the world." "Now Polygram International Co., Ltd. has only two main shareholders, one is Philips in the Netherlands and the other is Siemens from West Germany. Philips is our main competitor, so we dare not go to Polygram International Co., Ltd. As long as you find it, you will be known by Philips. Philips will definitely not let Polygram International Co., Ltd. cooperate with us. If the news is learned by them, we will be extremely passive." After Huo Jianning finished speaking, he suddenly felt relieved. This problem has been in his heart for a long time, but the chairman Xia Yu has never come back, and the CD player has not been developed before, so he waited until now to talk to Xia Yu. In his opinion, at this level, only the chairman of the board can solve the problem, and he is helpless. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1129: Big capital increases laboratory Indeed, facing Huo Jianning''s problem, Xia Yu also felt a little headache. Xia Yu thought for a while and asked again: "Is Polygram International Co., Ltd. listed?" Faced with Xia Yu¡¯s inquiry, Huo Jianning shook his head regretfully and said: ¡°This company is not a listed company. The main equity is concentrated in the hands of Siemens and Philips. The combined equity of the two companies has reached about 70%. The remaining equity is scattered among some shareholders." After listening, Xia Yu frowned again. It would be difficult to break the situation without being listed, and the combined shareholding of the two companies exceeded 70%, which was able to control the absolute will of PolyGram International Limited. Difficult! ... In fact, from the beginning, it was destined that Tiangong Electronics would face this problem sooner or later. Because Tiangong Electronics is a latecomer, to challenge the original strong, it must face the huge accumulation of the previous strong. Generally speaking, the upstream and downstream of an industrial chain do not have an absolute active position. The key lies in the comprehensive influence and strength. As the upstream of the industrial chain, Tiangong Electronics has technical advantages, but the downstream of the industrial chain is a shortcoming. Philips was originally a strong player across the entire industrial chain. Although it is now technologically backward, PolyGram International Co., Ltd., a huge downstream of the industrial chain, acts as the moat, which is the most direct reaction to Tiangong Electronics. system. In this case, the technological advantage of Tiangong Electronics has been hedged. Over time, if Tiangong Electronics is unable to launch products for the market, Philips and other competitors cannot launch products because of technical patent issues. Either change the direction of research and development to avoid Tiangong''s technology, or Both parties compromised. There are different situations for compromise, and it depends on which party takes the initiative. Judging from what Huo Jianning said at present, Tiangong Electronics lacks a strong record company to support the distribution of CD Walkman, and Polykin International Co., Ltd. is an unavoidable hurdle. Even if other record companies in the world will support it, without the record empire of Polygram International Co., Ltd., it will not be able to fully develop the CD Walkman market. PolyGram International Co., Ltd. will win a lot of time for Philips. Once Philips develops different technologies, it will draw on the allies of the original Red Book standard to re-conclude a Yellow Book standard as in the previous life, and then rely on them and the world¡¯s major records. The relationship between the company and the advantages of Polykin International Co., Ltd. are likely to directly overthrow the Tiangong Electronics Company. At that time, the market developed by Tiangong Electronics will become their wedding dress. With two fists hard to beat with four hands, failure is the only result. Xia Yu took a deep breath, and gradually cleared the thoughts in his mind. First, an idea emerged in his mind¡ªpurchasing Polygram International Co., Ltd.! But he erased it shortly thereafter. Philips and Siemens will not be ignorant of the strategic role of Polygram International Co., Ltd. for them. Why Philips is now occupying a major position in the market of vinyl records, broadcasters, and phonographs? It is not because of the ownership of Polygram International Limited. the company? Why was Polygram International Co., Ltd. acquired by Universal Music? The most critical reason is that because the record market and the walkman market have gone to dusk, Philips and Siemens have given up on these two fields, so the importance of Polygram International Co., Ltd. has been greatly reduced. In addition, at that time, the world record market became more and more competitive, so I simply sold Polygram International Co., Ltd. and collected funds to continue developing new products. Therefore, it is almost impossible to fully acquire Polygram International Co., Ltd. now. The only opportunity is to first acquire Philips of the Netherlands and Siemens of West Germany. After acquiring these two companies, Polygram International Co., Ltd. will naturally get it. But to acquire these two companies? It is not impossible when there is a chance later, but now... it is not realistic! If you can''t buy Polygram International Co., Ltd., you can only compromise. But there are ways to compromise. How to compromise to maximize the benefits? No matter how compromised, the ultimate goal of Tiangong Electronics is to gain the leading position in the industry. The leadership position is divided into two levels. One is the technical level and the other is the market level. At the technical level, Tiangong Electronics, as a technological leader, must become one of the makers of the CD-ROM disc standard, and must become a chess player. First-rate companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, and third-rate companies make products! Tiangong Electronics has not yet reached the first level in the field of walkman and CD discs, and is still in the situation of combining the second level and the third level. The previous Red Book standard was formulated by Philips and Sony. These two companies are industry standard setters and have obtained the most benefits. Tiangong Electronics is the participant. Therefore, the next standard, which is the Yellow Book standard of later generations, relies on technological advantages. Tiangong Electronics must become the standard setter and gain as much voice as possible. Then is the second market level, relying on various means to occupy as much market share as possible and obtain the greatest market benefits! As long as the technical level and the market level are both ranked first, then the Tiangong Electronics Company in this industry will naturally be the leader! "Jianning, I will go back and think carefully about this matter, and I will talk to you tomorrow." Because it involves a wide range of areas, it is easy to get mixed up if you don''t want to do paper-based analysis, so Xia Yu said directly to Huo Jianning. "Ok!" Huo Jianning nodded obediently. "Let''s go, look at other laboratories and products again!" "Chairman, please follow me!" Then, the group left the laboratory, and Huo Jianning and Lu Chao led Xia Yu to inspect all the laboratories one by one. After some inspection, Xia Yu was surprised by the result. The entire Tiangong Technology Laboratory has more than 300 scientific researchers, of which about half are Chinese, and the rest are big cows dug from other places. Although the photoelectric laboratory, communication laboratory and other experimental departments have not developed iconic products for the time being, they have also developed some technologies, which will help some companies of the current consortium and obtain some for the Tiangong Technology Laboratory. funds. Of course, the main funding to support the development of Tiangong Technology Lab is still from the company''s game console department. Now Tiangong Electronics¡¯ game consoles and arcades sell well all over the world is the industry¡¯s leading overlord. The original industry overlord, Atari, USA has become the second child and is still struggling to fight back. For the strong performance in the game console field, Xia Yu gave Huo Jianning a very positive praise. Of course, the most important thing is to give high affirmation and praise to Tiangong Technology Laboratory. However, considering that it is only relying on the Tiangong Electronics Company to maintain the Tiangong Technology Laboratory, the technology developed will be helpful to the Tiangong Machinery Group, the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Company and even the Tiangong Automobile Group. The company''s unfairness also restricts the development speed of Tiangong Technology Laboratory. Therefore, he directly decided to bring the Tiangong Technology Laboratory out of the Tiangong Electronics Company and place it under the Tiangong Group, and it is in a core position. The funds are provided by all the companies under the entire group. If there is still a shortage of funds, he will directly allocate funds from the consortium level to support the Tiangong Technology Laboratory, and must not let the funds become a shortcoming. Then Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratories will make every effort to expand. In addition to attracting talents from all over the world to come to Xiangjiang, Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratories will also be established in other countries to **** outstanding scientific research talents from various countries and let them contribute to the Tiangong Group and the entire Jiuding Consortium. create wealth. The future is the era of technology. The essence of business struggle will become a large capital to increase the laboratory. The combination of the two is infinitely powerful! In Xia Yu''s positioning, Tiangong Technology Laboratory is like Bell Labs in the United States. In the future, it will develop high-end technologies one after another. It is an inexhaustible source of power that supports Tiangong Group''s rampage in the world! PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! Technology is the primary productive force. This is the reason why the United States is afraid of Huawei. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1130: The annual fee alone is 1 billion! That night, Xia Yu sorted out all his thoughts, and wrote his own thoughts on paper and performed comprehensive deductions. Just after going to work the next morning, he called Huo Jianning to his office. "Chairman, good morning!" Facing Huo Jianning¡¯s greetings, Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response, motioning him to sit down: "Well, sit down and say!" "Okay, thank you Chairman!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Jianning, after thinking about it last night, I made a plan for the situation of the CD player. I will tell you, if you have any comments, please mention it later." "Okay!" Huo Jianning''s expression suddenly became serious, and he nodded and said, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu slowly said: "Our technological advantage is not great, and Philips and Sony have strong R&D capabilities, and both have the influence of the entire industry chain. Allowing them to have a great risk outside, so at this stage Tiangong Electronics can only compromise with them and invite them to establish a new CD disc standard." "My initial plan is for the new CD disc standard. Only three of us, Tiangong Electronics, Sony, and Philips, are the standard setters. Compared with the Red Book standard, we have squeezed into the top level, and we have some progress." "As for the matter of Polygram International Co., Ltd. that you are worried about, I will ask people to buy the company¡¯s equity in Europe. Philips¡¯ equity should not be sold. However, Siemens has a better position in the field of portable music and CD discs. Philips is a long way off, and equity is relatively easy to acquire. At that time, only the acquisition of a total of 30% of the equity held by scattered shareholders, plus the acquisition of part from Siemens, will be enough to hedge Philips¡¯ downstream advantages." "In addition, I will also ask Universal Music to acquire or invest in other music companies in Europe, the United States and other countries as soon as possible in these two months, so as to increase music copyright resources as much as possible and avoid dependence on Polygram International Limited." "I will ask them to do their best to complete these two operations before the end of August. There are still more than 80 days left, which is barely enough." "In this period of time, what you have to do is to let Dr. Chao Lu lead the team to continue to research technology, reduce costs as much as possible, and at the same time develop a comprehensive marketing plan." "After these are completed, you can go to Philips and Sony to negotiate, make full use of all advantages, and pull them together in the fastest time to formulate a new CD disc standard, and you must maximize the benefits of technology." "After the standards are established, before they have time, we will launch our CD Walkman and CD records as quickly as possible to seize the market in advance and establish our brand and market position." "do you understand?" "Understand!" Huo Jianning replied loudly with a look of excitement. The chairman is indeed the chairman. Yesterday he just raised the problem that has been troubled for a long time, and today the chairman came up with a full set of solutions and plans. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Jianning, do you have any comments to add?" Huo Jianning narrowed his smile, calmed down and thought carefully for a long time, he still shook his head and said: "Chairman, you are very comprehensive, I have nothing to add." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and exhorted: "Well, you have to do this with your heart. The potential of CDs is very large. It is not just as simple as making CDs, but also involves the data storage and computer markets. Lance, you let Dr. Chao Lu pay more attention and continue to lead the team to conduct more in-depth research and accumulate as much technical knowledge as possible." "There is also the expansion of the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory. You should not interfere too much. You can do a good job in the allocation and supply of funds. The specific personnel excavation will be done by people in their professional scientific research system. They must know the world Who are the real talents." "In terms of laboratory management, in addition to assigning R&D tasks, don''t interfere too much, and give them a good environment to engage in scientific research." Huo Jianning nodded solemnly and said, "Chairman, I must follow your instructions." "Well, if you have nothing to do, go ahead and do it!" "Okay, the chairman, I''m leaving now!" After Xia Yu waved his hand, Huo Jianning slowly withdrew from the office. After Huo Jianning left, Xia Yu called Yan Wenhan and ordered him to immediately sort out the information about the recording field around the world and give him a copy. In the entire consortium, only Jiuding Newspaper Company had the most information about this information. Clear. It took some time for Yan Wenhan to sort out the information. Xia Yu called again to Universal Television and asked Huang Xizhao and Universal Music¡¯s president Wang Zhang to come to his office immediately. About half an hour later, Huang Xizhao and Wang Zhang came together. "Chairman, good morning!" After entering, the two greeted Xia Yu in unison. Sitting on the sofa, Xia Yu nodded slightly and motioned them to sit down: "Sit down and say!" Xia Yu''s gaze swept across the faces of Huang Xizhao and Wang Zhang, and he secretly nodded as he looked at the two men in full spirit. Wang Zhang is a professional manager hired by Korn Ferry International, but he is of high quality. He has been in charge of Universal Music Company in recent years, and he has managed the company in an orderly manner and is very capable. Before talking about the key things, Xia Yu first asked about the situation of Universal Television. He smiled and asked, "Xizhao, how is the situation on the TV station?" Huang Xizhao immediately replied: "Chairman, the TV station has been operating well now. Now our TV station is a well-known TV station in Asia. The number of users in Asia has reached 5.27 million, and there are 320,000 outside Asia. , Covering a population of more than 20 million people! According to the annual fee of two hundred Hong Kong dollars for each household¡¯s satellite TV signal per household, this year¡¯s annual fee income will reach one billion Hong Kong dollars!" "In addition to us, TVB has also completed the star, but TVB is not our competitor at all, because our Global Satellite TV programs have been covered in all aspects, TVB programs are not as complete as our category, and now TVB''s star users There are only less than 400,000 households, less than one-tenth of ours, and most of them are local users of Xiangjiang." "In terms of the audience share of Xiangjiang, our global TV station has a stable share of more than eight floors. Once a popular program is produced, the audience rating can reach nine floors..." After listening to Huang Xizhao''s narration, Xia Yu is fully aware of TVB''s situation. It can be said that as long as Universal Television does not take the initiative to make mistakes, as time goes by, the chance of TVB turning over will become increasingly slim. Not to mention, the annual signal fee received by Global Satellite TV alone exceeds one billion Hong Kong dollars a year, which can crush TVB. Not to mention the profit from selling programs and advertising on Global Satellite TV itself, covering more than 20 million people, and the price of each advertisement is not cheap! It can be said that large companies are Global Satellite TV''s customers, that is, companies with small capabilities that cannot afford Global Satellite TV''s advertising will choose TVB. Therefore, when no rivals can be found in Asia, the key lies in the management and operation of Global Television Station. Xia Yu''s face was slightly serious, and he reminded: "Xizhao, the TV station is doing very well now, but don¡¯t be proud of it. Leaving aside the mainland, there are 30 million Chinese in Asia. There is still room for development. Counting the people of English and other languages, there are more than one billion people, these are potentially huge markets." "Outside of Asia, Global Satellite TV now has only 320,000 accounts, and there is still a long way to go. You must pay attention to the mentality of the company''s employees, and you must not be arrogant." Huang Xizhao''s heart shuddered, and she straightened her back and nodded her head and replied: "Chairman, rest assured, I will pay attention!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Zhang, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Wang Zhang, tell me about Universal Music." PS: Set the bowl for votes! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1131: Prey of Universal Music Group Wang Zhang answered truthfully: "Chairman, with the help of the resources of the entire group, Universal Music has now developed into a large-scale music group covering the entire industry chain. It already has 15 branches and has considerable influence in many Asian countries. force." "Last year, the company''s total revenue reached 393 million Hong Kong dollars and net profit reached more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars." "In the past five months of this year, the company has achieved revenue of 236 million Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year growth of more than 35%, and still maintains a relatively high growth rate..." "In Hong Kong, our company''s record market share has reached 47%, which is 11 points higher than the second-ranked Polygram, and ranks first..." Wang Zhang explained the situation of Universal Music Group in great detail. He can tell every item of the company''s data like several treasures. It can be seen that he really knows the situation of the company. This makes Xia Yu very satisfied. Of course, from the market share data, Xia Yu also knows the current situation of the HeungKong Records industry. It can only be said that PolyGram is worthy of the previous overlord. Facing him, the Universal Music Company, which has developed with the help of consortium resources, although in the Mandarin Record market It has been surpassed, but it can still have the strength to confront. In fact, if according to the current revenue of Universal Music Group, it will be listed when the stock market is better, at least the market value can reach 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if Hong Kong cannot squeeze into the top 100, it can still be in the top 100. Fifty. Such a leading company in the recording field is now only a subsidiary of Universal Television. It didn¡¯t matter if it was weak before. Now, for the better development of Universal Music Group, it should be put forward separately. At least it must be on the same level as Universal Television and Galaxy Film. First of all, he made a summary: "I also understand the situation. The company you are managing is doing well, and I am very satisfied." "But Universal Music Group has been restricted, so starting from today, Universal Music Group has become independent from the TV station and has become a first-level subsidiary of Jiuding Culture Media Group, which is at the same level as Universal TV." "Xizhao, are you okay?" Although Huang Xizhao was upset, he dared not show it at all. He shook his head and said: "Chairman, I have no opinion. I didn''t intervene in the management of Universal Music Group before. With the size of Universal Music Group, continue to put It¡¯s really not convenient to develop under Universal Television." "Well, you can drive it if you want." Xia Yu said with a smile. This is also the purpose of calling Huang Xizhao over today, and telling him face to face, at least it will not hurt his motivation too much, and it will not make him think about it. Then, Xia Yu looked at Wang Zhang, who tried his best to suppress his emotions, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhang, you are raised one level up, and you enter Jiuding Culture Media Group as a director, your burden will be a lot heavier." Wang Zhang immediately got up, bowed heavily to Xia Yu, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the promotion, I will continue to work hard to manage the company well." Xia Yu raised his hand and said softly, "Well, okay, sit down and talk. I have something to tell you." Wang Zhang sat down again, sitting straight, respectfully waiting for Xia Yu''s next instructions. Xia Yu looked directly into Wang Zhang''s eyes, and said in a slightly serious tone: "In the next two months, the company will make a big move in the record market. At that time, it will purchase some large European and American record companies." "After these record companies are acquired, they will be merged into Universal Music Group, which will definitely have a certain impact on the company." "At that time, whether the record companies that will be acquired belong to Universal Music Group in name, or whether they can integrate resources in all aspects, it depends on your ability." "So in these two months, you have to prepare in advance so that you don''t get caught off guard and affect the strategic plans of other companies, understand?" Wang Zhang couldn''t care about the shock, he looked solemnly, nodded and said: "Chairman, I will definitely go all out!" "Well, I am waiting for your performance." Xia Yu said softly. "That''s it. Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Huang Xi and Wang Zhang looked at each other and shook their heads. "That''s it, you can go back first." "Wang Zhang, especially you, if you find any difficulties, talk to Huo Jianning as soon as possible." "Okay, Chairman!" "Well, go!" Later, Huang Xizhao and Wang Zhang left, and Xia Yu also vaguely heard Huang Xizhao''s congratulations to Wang Zhang. ... The next afternoon. Yan Wenhan brought over the compiled information on the global record market. After Xia Yu briefly chatted with him for ten minutes, he asked him to put down the information and go ahead. That afternoon, Xia Yu didn''t go anywhere, staying in the office to check and sort out the global record market. Until the end of get off work, Xia Yu finally understood the situation. Polygram International Co., Ltd. is indeed the leader of the world''s recording industry, but this does not mean that it has no competitors. For example, Warner Music Company, the second largest in the global record market, is weaker than Polygram International Co., Ltd. Of course, in addition, there are also many record giants, but they are not as spanning the world as Polygram International Co., Ltd., and are more rampant in various countries or continents. For example, in the United Kingdom, there is a giant EMI Records, and it can also fight Polygram International Limited in the United Kingdom. EMI Records was established in 1897. Its predecessor was the British Gramophone Company and British Columbia Film Company. In 1931, the two record companies merged into EMI Records. After that, EMI Records made a series of mergers and acquisitions and expanded its business to other countries. For example, in 1955, it acquired Capitol Records, one of the ten largest record companies in the United States, and later acquired Apple, arlophone, Liberty, Many record brands such as BlueNote. I still remember the previous life, EMI continued to acquire and became one of the world¡¯s top five record companies, but the copyright department was eaten by Sony Music Group, which helped Sony Music Group¡¯s copyright library to break through 2 million songs, ranking No. 1 in the world. One; the record department was sold to Universal Music by the French Vivendi Group. In the United States, there are more large record companies, and the media with good news also ranked the top ten US record companies, such as Warner Bros. Records, Columbia Records, Capitol Records, RCA Records (American Broadcasting Corporation Records), Atlantic Records Company, Epic Records, Roadrunner Records, Records, A& Records, Mercury Records, etc. It''s just that among the ten largest record companies in the United States, one and only one is an independent record company, that is A&Records. Among the remaining nine record companies, Warner Bros. Records, Atlantic Records, Roadrunner Records, Records, and these four are a group, all of which belong to Warner Records'' brands. RCA Records belongs to the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), one of the three major television networks. Columbia Records belongs to CBS (CBS), one of the three major television networks. Mercury Records belongs to Polygram International Limited. The last Capitol Records belongs to EMI Records. ... In Xia Yu''s recording empire building plan, two pivots were set, one pivot is the United States, which will radiate South and North America. The other fulcrum is Britain, which radiates Europe, Africa and Oceania. Finally, he determined the acquisition target. In the UK, acquired EMI Records, Virgin Records and Kojima Records. Although Viking Records was established in 1973, the Rolling Stones and Phil Collins of the Great Fire are now owned by Viking Records. I still remember that in the early 90s, EMI Records spent a billion dollars to acquire Viking Records. As for Kojima Records, it was founded in Jamaica. Although its business is mainly in the UK, it also has a considerable influence in Africa. The current representative is the U2 rock band. In the United Kingdom, as long as the acquisition of these three companies is enough to temporarily confront Polygram International Limited in Europe, there is also Capitol Records, one of the top ten record companies in the United States, not to mention Xia Yu will find a way. Invested in PolyGram International Co., Ltd. Then there is the United States. Among the top ten record companies in the United States, Xia Yu is going to ask Peter Lynch to buy three of A&, Epic Records and RCA Records. A& Company is an independent record company. Later, it was acquired by Universal Music, and now it happens to be acquired by Xia Yu''s Universal Music Group. Epic Records is backed by a major Wall Street bank, and later this company is also one of the three fronts of Sony Music Group Now this record company has a treasure, that is, Michael Jackson, and Michael Jackson It just happened to be working on the sixth album "Thriller", which will be released at the end of this year. That''s right, "Thriller" is the album that set the Guinness World Record and sold 65 million copies worldwide. Therefore, the epic record company is about to reach its peak. If it can be acquired, it is definitely a huge gold mine. As for RCA Records, although it belongs to ABC, the success of the acquisition is very high, because the parent company of ABC happens to be General Electric. And Xia Yu¡¯s Polaris Capital Company now holds 14.6% of the shares in General Electric Company and is one of the majority shareholders of General Electric Company. With this relationship, it will be very difficult to acquire a subsidiary of a subsidiary of General Electric Company. As long as this plan can be realized, Xia Yu¡¯s Universal Music Group will own four of the top ten U.S. record companies, which will be on par with Warner Records and become one of the bipolar records in the U.S. recording industry. Polygram International Co., Ltd. is in the United States. Nor is it an opponent of Universal Music Group. As for Columbia Records, in which Sony holds half of its shares, it cannot be compared with Universal Music Group. At that time, the global record market will be transformed from the battle for hegemony between Polygram International Co., Ltd. and Warner Records into a three-legged trend. And the strength and influence of Universal Music Group will be the strongest of the three! PS: The relationship between the recording industry is very complicated. It took more than two hours to check the information, and it would be 12 o''clock if I didn''t pay attention. It made everyone wait a long time. Routine to ask for a recommendation ticket https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1132: Many meanings After deciding on the target, Xia Yu took into account the problem of jet lag and first called Peter Lynch in the United States, instructing him to fully acquire the American A& Company, American Epic Records and RCA Records within two months. Then in the evening, Xia Yu called George Berkeley in London and asked him to take over British EMI, Kojima Records and Viking Records within two months, and at the same time fully acquire Polygram International. More than one-third of the equity in the limited company. He just agreed that Margaret Thatcher would invest 2.5 billion pounds in the UK this year. Apart from the previous investment in the telecommunications market, there is also a large amount of money I don¡¯t know where to spend. Some tasks are completed in this area. After setting up the task, there is no need for Xia Yu to worry about it. As long as all his acquisition tasks are completed before the end of August, then his Universal Music Group can truly live up to its name. Although it seems that these record companies are only concentrated in Europe and North America, they are not as simple as they seem. Xia Yu could not forget the island market where the Walkman first appeared. Anyway, the island country is also the second largest market in the Walkman field after the United States. The reason why Xia Yu did not target the acquisition of record companies in the island country was actually unnecessary. This is related to the unique record market in the island country. The strongest Aihui Records in the island country in the past does not exist at all. Now the record market in the island country is very chaotic. According to data, there are many factions in the island country''s record market, which are divided into European and American, Hollywood, electrical manufacturing, broadcasting bureau, office, publishing, toys, game clubs, and pure record. The European and American department and the Hollywood department are actually branches established by European and American film and record companies in island countries. The motor manufacturing department is a record company established by companies such as Panasonic Group, JVC Electronics, Kenwood, and other electronics and electrical companies. Broadcasting Bureau refers to the record company backed by the TV station. The law firm actually refers to the artist management companies, which have established their own record companies. The publishing house refers to the record company established by publishing houses such as Kadokawa Group, Otowa Group, Kodansha, and Island Communication Education Alliance. As for the toy and game club department and the record department, it goes without saying. Therefore, EMI Records, Polygram International Co., Ltd., Columbia Records and Epic Records, etc. are all state-owned branches in the island, and Xia Yu''s Universal Music Group itself has branches in the island country. As long as the acquisitions he planned can be completed, just the branches of these companies in the island country can add up to make Universal Music Group the number one record market in the island country. Therefore, there is no need to specifically acquire record companies in island countries. ... In the next few days, Xia Yu did both work and leisure, and by the way, he took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong who were on vacation to relax. On June 6th, Liu Shihao reported to him a news that made him a little happy. Because it was not convenient to come to Jiuding Building, Xia Yu went directly to Jiuding Real Estate Group. After arriving at Jiuding Real Estate Group, I saw Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping waiting in the lobby. "Hello, Chairman!" "Well, hello!" After nodding to Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping, Xia Yu asked directly: "Is Mr. Pei IM coming today?" "Chairman, Mr. Bei has already arrived. In the company''s design room, we did not notify him to come down together." Liu Shihao replied. Xia Yu didn''t take it off, on the contrary, he showed admiration and said, "Mr. Bei is also getting older, so it''s right to not let him down." "Let''s go, take me to see the results of the design." "Okay, please follow me! The design room is on the eighth floor." After speaking, Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping took Xia Yu and others into the elevator. After a while, a group of people came to a huge design room, where many people were busy. And what attracted Xia Yu''s eyes most was an architectural model in the middle of the design room. Next to the model, there was old Mr. Pei, who was observing with a magnifying glass. Seeing Xia Yu and others walking straight, Pei stopped and walked towards Xia Yu. "Mr. Bei, you have worked hard!" "Mr. Xia, this is what I should do. It is also my honor to be able to do this design." Xia Yu shook hands with Pei IM after a moment of greeting. Xia Yu fixed his gaze on the architectural model in front of him, and asked with a smile. "Mr. Pei, I wonder if you can tell me about your design." "Of course, please come and take a look." When Xia Yu and others approached, Pei pointed to the tower-shaped building on the sand table and introduced Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, according to the design, this skyscraper covers an area of ??15,600 square meters, a total construction area of ??48,000 square meters, a total height of 520 meters, and the entire shape is nine sections. Tower shape." "The whole building is divided into four levels, the basement, the base commercial podium, the office tower and the spire." "There are three floors in the basement, six floors in the tower base commercial podium, 108 floors in the office tower, and a five-story spire." "Each twelfth floor of the office floor is a unit structure, and the entire office floor is divided into nine unit structures." "Between the 102nd and 108th floors, a wind damper weighing 700 tons will be hung to use the swing to slow the sway of the building and ensure the safety of the entire building." "You have also discovered that there are many special figures in the design. This is also the design concept of the entire building The tower base commercial podium has six floors, which means''six six great successes''. Heaven and earth mean one hundred and eight." "The office building is divided into nine units. This has three meanings. The first one is the first word of Jiuding Group, which is also the most obvious; the second one is "combining the number of nines. Nine, the number is poor. According to the ancient Chinese yin and yang theory, nine is a number representing''yang''. The "Book of Changes" calls the yang line of the hexagram as''nine''; the third one is combined with the five layers of the spire , Which is the number of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, implying the pinnacle of the world." "In terms of shape, the whole building is like a strong bamboo joint, which is more than flexible. The nine bamboo joints symbolize endless potential and contain the endless traditional Chinese architectural connotation." With Pei''s continuous narration, the smile on Xia Yu''s face became more and more prosperous, looking at this architectural model full of love. Last year, many subordinates suggested to him that Jiuding Group still lacks a headquarters building. Whether it is the dozens of floors of Jiuding Building or Jiuding Financial Building in Central, none of them are representative and cannot demonstrate the strength of the group. . He also considered that Xiangjiang¡¯s economic and social stability needed a pinnacle, and that Xiangjiang also needed to be famous all over the world. There was a symbolic feature. He also needed to cheer for Xiangjiang and even the Chinese in the world. Combining multiple considerations, he decided to build the world''s first skyscraper in Xiangjiang as his headquarters. So last year, he invited I.M. Pei, who had just completed the design of the Louvre, to design his headquarters building, and told him some ideas that he needed a tower-shaped building. So after nearly a year of design, there is this masterpiece in front of me. PS: There is one more later https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1133: Shocking data As far as Xia Yu knows, the world¡¯s tallest building is the Sears Tower in Chicago, the United States. It was built by the American retail giant Sears Group and completed in 1974, surpassing the World Trade Center in 1972 and topped the world. The tallest building seems to be less than 450 meters in height. If we follow the trajectory of the previous life, Sears Tower would have been able to hold the position of the world''s tallest building for more than 20 years before the wave of high-rise building appeared. It was not replaced until the Petroleum Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia appeared. "Mr. Bei, I am very satisfied with your design, these have good meanings!" Xia Yu leaned over and looked carefully for a long time, then said with a sigh. Hearing Xia Yu¡¯s praise, the designer Pei could not help but feel very happy. The results that he and the entire design team have spent nearly a year are undoubtedly very precious. In his eyes, he is like his child. Now this'' "The child'' has been recognized by Xia Yu''s employer. Why is he not happy? Xia Yu looked away from the model with a bit of reluctance, looked at Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping, and asked, "Have you planned for the construction of this building?" Liu Shihao subconsciously looked at Chen Jianping, because the latter was the general manager of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. Chen Jianping immediately replied respectfully to Xia Yu: "Chairman, we have already done the planning. The entire building is expected to be constructed in five years and the estimated cost is 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars." 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars? Xia Yu raised his brows slightly and asked, "Is it sure that 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars is enough?" Chen Jianping immediately said: "Chairman, this figure is enough. This is a relatively generous construction cost. If everything goes well, it is very likely that we will not use so much." Xia Yu suddenly relaxed. He thought for a while, and then asked, "Where is the construction land? Are you sure there are no hidden dangers?" Chen Jianping shook his head decisively and said: "Chairman, please rest assured that this building will be built on the Central Financial Street in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island, facing Victoria Harbour. There are still some buildings on the construction site that have not been demolished. We bought these buildings. There is no dispute." "If there is no problem, dismantle and start construction as soon as possible." "Ok!" Chen Jianping nodded and responded. At this time, Pei suddenly asked: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know about this building. What name do you plan to use?" After Xia Yu pondered for a moment, he slowly said, "Just a little more simple, it''s called Jiuding Building." "By the way, take another nickname-520 Building, which means I love you. With this nickname, it is convenient to spread fame on a global scale." "Chairman, this nickname is too new..." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Liu Shihao immediately praised him, and his expression seemed to come from the heart. It was just that Xia Yu smiled after looking at him, and said: "Since it has been confirmed, this construction plan can be announced. By the way, it will boost the confidence of the Xiangjiang people in life." "understand." "..." After continuing to observe the model of Jiuding Building, Xia Yucai, Pei and others went to the office to have tea and chat. During the chat, Xia Yu learned that Xiangjiang Bank of China intended to build a building, and planned to invite Pei to design it. It¡¯s just that I have been busy designing Jiuding Building before, so I put it on hold. Now that the design of Jiuding Building has been completed, Pei I.M. also plans to connect with Xiangjiang Bank of China, without the country¡¯s contribution. For this matter, Xia Yu didn''t say anything except congratulations. At noon, Xia Yu invited Pei IM to lunch to express his gratitude to him. Two days later, Jiuding Property Group held a grand press conference and announced that it would invest 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to build the world''s tallest building in Central on Hong Kong Island as the headquarters of Jiuding Group and the financial center of Hong Kong. After the news was announced, the whole Xiangjiang was boiling, and the people who ate melons rushed to report. Many citizens raised a sense of honor and shocked the Jiuding Group''s great efforts. At the same time, they also looked forward to the completion of Jiuding Building. The originally sluggish stock market suddenly burst into vigorous vitality, and the Hang Seng Index soared by more than 60 points in one day! Many big bosses in Xiangjiang called Xia Yu to verify, congratulating them, and at the same time inquiring about the meaning behind it. The news influence of Xiangjiang''s construction of the world''s tallest building is naturally not limited to Xiangjiang, but with Xiangjiang as the center, it quickly radiates to the surrounding area. There are many media reports on this matter in Europe and the United States. In particular, the Chicago newspapers in the United States have a lot of coverage for this news, and the local public opinion has the biggest reaction. Who makes the world''s tallest building located in Chicago? But for these, Xia Yu didn''t bother to pay attention. Jiuding Building will not be completed until 1987. It will take five years to wait. No matter how lively the media is now, it will cool down soon. It¡¯s not time for marketing... As for what should I do now? Of course it is to take the lover to the movie first! After more than a month of all-round public opinion bombing, Galaxy Films and Hollywood giant MGM Pictures jointly invested 50 million US dollars, which took 16 months to produce the annual science fiction blockbuster-"Alien E¡¤ "T", the news that it will be simultaneously screened globally on June 11 has already sounded people''s ears. Exquisite posters and excerpts of shocking promotional videos have planted the seeds of curiosity for the majority of films. Not to mention that the creative team of "Alien E¡¤T" also came to Xiangjiang Road to perform and be a guest in the live broadcast room of Global TV, which is even more exciting. Hong Kong time began at 10 o''clock in the evening on June 11th, Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas held a grand premiere at the Universal Cinemas in Harbour City. Except for the stars of Shaw Films, almost all the famous stars of Hong Kong came. Now, the scene can be described as dazzling stars, and the atmosphere of the scene is warm If the security personnel are not working hard to maintain it, a stampede may occur. The film premiere officially began at midnight on June 12. Xia Yu didn''t take Li Qian and He Chaoqiong to stay up late. Instead, at 9:30 am on June 12, I took Li Qian, He Chaoqiong, parents and others to the nearest Universal Cinema to watch. The theater directly took out a small hall and opened it to Xia Yu and others. After watching the movie, everyone was very satisfied, especially Xia Yu''s younger brothers and sisters. Even from Xia Yu¡¯s eyes, I feel that the current "Alien E¡¤T" is of a higher quality than the previous one. It can be seen that his money has indeed been spent, Steven Spielber Grid did not disappoint him. On this day, the entire Hong Kong Global Cinema was full, and the attendance rate reached 100%. Many adults and children watched it together. The popularity is evident. This scene not only happened in Xiangjiang, but also in Southeast Asia, island countries, and the United States. Saturday, June 12, passed quickly. However, on this day, the major entertainment newspapers in Hong Kong disrupted the schedule of work and rest, and they were reluctant to print the next day''s newspaper. Reporters from major newspapers are all squatting outside the headquarters of Global Cinemas. They are waiting for a data, a data that is destined to be the headline of tomorrow-the first day of "Alien E¡¤T" in Hong Kong box office. Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan also knew the promotional effect of the box office on the first day, so they both watched the whole process and urged the staff to make statistics as soon as possible. At midnight on June 12th, a shocking number was finally calculated! PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1134: Refresh the box office record of Xiangjiang "President, the box office statistics are out!" In an office of the Global Cinemas Company, at this time, the lights were brightly lit and many people were busy inside. Suddenly, an employee who was immersed in the calculator and said in a loud voice. This abrupt voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office. Jiang Zhiqiang, who had been waiting on the side, immediately asked, "How much?" The employee immediately read out a string of numbers: "President, the first day of the Hong Kong local box office was 25,997,465 Hong Kong dollars!" After the employee finished reading, the office was quiet, and then the office remembered warm cheers and applause. "Wow!" "Papa..." "Hahaha..." Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan couldn''t help laughing out loud. For an instant, the whole office was like a sea of ??joy, and the cheering voices were very obvious in a quiet early morning and night, and the reporters waiting downstairs of the Global Cinemas headquarters could not help but become restless. After cheering, everyone''s faces still wore happy smiles. Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly said to Wu Siyuan: "Mr. Wu, I remember that the first Japanese box office to exceed 2 million Hong Kong dollars will not exceed five movies. We released them? "Alien E¡¤T" box office once again Set the box office record on the first day of Hong Kong?" Wu Siyuan smiled and nodded and confirmed: "Yes, "Alien E¡¤T" is the fifth Hong Kong movie to exceed 2 million Hong Kong dollars in box office on the first day, and it is also the first movie to exceed 2.5 million in box office. , Once again broke the box office record!" Jiang Zhiqiang said happily, "Haha, I said, this movie is of very high quality, and the box office must be a big hit!" Wu Siyuan naturally said: "The "Alien E¡¤T" has invested 50 million US dollars in Hong Kong dollars. The quality is of course not bad. The reputation of the survey today is very good." "It''s okay for Hong Kong''s local box office to exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but I don''t know if it can exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars?" In the end, Wu Siyuan couldn''t help but look forward to it. Generally speaking, the box office in the first week can account for 35 to half of the total box office of a movie. Movies with good reputation and full potential have a lower proportion of the first week''s box office to the total box office, and vice versa. With the current box office of nearly 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day of "Alien E¡¤T", based on past experience estimates, the box office in the first week can reach about 13 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the ratio range of 35 to 50%. The total box office will be between 26 million Hong Kong dollars and 37 million Hong Kong dollars. However, with the reputation of "Alien E¡¤T", the first week''s box office should account for about 40%, so the total box office can exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars. It''s just that these are estimates, everything is changing, and experience is not absolute. Wu Siyuan dare not pack a ticket if it can exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars. It can only be said that there is a 60-70% chance if the word of mouth does not collapse and there is no accident! Total box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars! Jiang Zhiqiang couldn''t help feeling agitated. He narrowed his eyes and solemnly said: "Mr. Wu, things are man-made. If you have the opportunity, you have to create this record if you say anything. This is too much for us!" Wu Siyuan nodded and said with approval: "That''s right!" At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at the employees who were still in the office and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard. Later, we will have a supper together, fill up our stomachs and go home." "Wow, thank you President!" "President Wise!" The employees in the office cheered again, and it has been five or six hours since dinner, and everyone present is already hungry. "Let''s go, report the box office data to the reporters by the way, it is not easy for them to wait below." "Ok." ... When an employee reported the data to the reporters downstairs, the reporters were also surprised by the number. After a heated discussion, they rushed back to their respective newspapers with the results. They had to bring the data back as soon as possible so that the newspapers Print tomorrow''s newspaper as soon as possible. Early the next morning. Practitioners in the film and television industry first went to various newsstands to buy entertainment newspapers. Of course, the first choice was Jiuding Newspaper Company''s flagship newspaper in the entertainment industry-"Entertainment Daily". After seeing the first-day box office of nearly 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars, no one was shocked by this number. This data is like a depth bomb, and its impact is extremely far-reaching. As for the general public, they were also shocked by this number when they read the newspapers. Later, they became curious about the movie "Alien E¡¤T" written in many newspapers, thinking about choosing a suitable opportunity to go to Universal Cinemas. Take a look. Different from the sigh of the people who eat melons and the awe of film and television practitioners, the CEOs of many movie and theater companies that are positive competitors of Galaxy Films and Universal Theater are uncomfortable. Because in the next month, the movie "Alien E¡¤T" will shroud them and reap the box office wantonly. Some film companies that were still lucky enough to release films in late June and early July, after seeing the first day of horror at the box office of "Alien E¡¤T", the final fluke was also shattered. Choose to postpone the show time. The flexibility of small companies can be postponed, but Golden Harvest Films and Shaw Brothers Films, which have theaters, are sitting on the wax. ... On the morning of June 13, Jiahe Film Company. Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang and Liang Feng gathered in Wrinkle''s president''s office. The office was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was a little dull. All three were frightened by the first day of horror at the box office of "Alien E¡¤T". a long time¡­¡­ The wrinkle bosom broke the dullness, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "The gap between Jiahe and Yinhe Film Company is getting bigger and bigger. I can only look forward to it..." He Guanchang took a deep breath, then let out a long white mist, and said with emotion: "Old wrinkle, there is no way. Who makes Galaxy Film Company backed by the Jiuding Consortium? We lose on resources, from production, distribution, We are not as strong as others in all aspects of publicity, and it is normal to compare." Wrinkle smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Yes, the stock god''s industrial chain is too perfect. From the initial talent training in the film and television industry, it has monopolized, and until the final film awards, no link is not under control." Liang Feng, who has been smoking in silence, also said with emotion: "Their industrialized film manufacturing process is also a key." ... The more they talked, the trio felt desperate for surpassing Galaxy Films. Seeing this, Wrinkle Huai suddenly woke up and ended the topic directly: "Well, let''s not let others have aspirations to destroy our own prestige. At least we can produce many outstanding movies every year, and we can also win some awards. Compared with our Shao Laoliu is the most uncomfortable." Wrinkle Huai said that, He Guanchang and Liang Feng''s mood suddenly improved a lot. That¡¯s right, under the competition of Galaxy Film Company, although Jiahe has been operating very hard, it still has a lot of profit. It can be regarded as the second largest film company in Hong Kong. Shao Yifu is the most uncomfortable! Not only was it crushed by Global Satellite TV in the TV field, it was also defeated in the film field In order to compete with Galaxy Film Company, Shao Laoliu made a desperate investment last year with an investment of 150 million Hong Kong dollars. "Blade Runner", began to promote last month. " "I heard that Warner Bros. Pictures originally didn¡¯t plan to release it in Xiangjiang so soon, but Shao Laoliu saw that "Alien E¡¤T" was to be released globally, so he proposed to follow "Alien E¡¤T". "Fuck it, the Xiangjiang version is scheduled to be released on June 19th, trying to steal the chicken." "But looking at the current box office explosion of "Alien E¡¤T", Shao Laoliu is afraid that he is going to steal the chicken and lose the rice!" "Haha..." After listening to He Guanchang''s ridicule, the three seemed to see the extremely depressed look of the old rival Shao Laoliu and couldn''t help laughing. After laughing, Wrinkle''s mood improved a lot. But he did not forget the business. He sternly said: "Lao He, Lao Liang, "Alien E¡¤T" has become a trend. He cannot retreat from Shao Laoliu, but we don''t have this burden. We will endure the wind and waves for a while and take a step back!" "Postpone the release of "Heavenly Master Shen''s Palm" at the end of June until next month. This month, we will upload the films of other film companies. If they don''t want to, let''s screen the old films first." Both He Guanchang and Liang Feng had no objection, nor did they feel aggrieved or ashamed. Instead, they nodded as a matter of course: "No problem." At ten o''clock in the morning of the same day, Jiahe Film Company issued a statement to the public that the film "Tian Shi Shen''s Palm" will be postponed to July 17th. After Jiahe took the lead, many film companies followed suit. Shao Yifu, who was already irritable, scolded Wrinkled Coward angrily when he got the news. PS: Please ask for votes! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1135: No. 1 in the world! "Dad, Wrinkle is famous for being bullied and afraid of being soft, don''t be angry about this, your body matters!" "Yeah, I can''t help them shamelessly." In the office of the chairman of the TVB headquarters, Shao Weiming and Fang Yihua comforted Shao Yifu with concern. After all, Shao Yifu is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. After venting his emotions, he cleaned up his mood and waved his hand to indicate that he was okay. "Sit down, I know my body, it won''t fall." Shao Weiming returned to the sofa after listening, while Fang Yihua went to make tea. "Amin, how much money has been spent on publicity?" After Shao Weiming was silent for a moment, he said, "Dad, there are no detailed statistics, but it has probably already spent 6 million Hong Kong dollars." Although "Blade Runner" was invested by Shaw Brothers Pictures, the dominant power has always belonged to Warner Bros. Pictures. But the distribution business in Asia was contracted by Warner Bros. Pictures to Shaw Brothers Pictures. So in Asia, the Shaw Brothers Film Company is responsible for when and how "Blade Runner" will be released. As for the box office revenue in Asia, part of it goes to the theaters of the theaters, part of the distributor Shaw Brothers Films, and the rest belongs to the box office share of the producers, which is then invested by Warner Bros. Pictures, Shaw Brothers Films and other companies. Fang divided into. In Asia, the publicity cost of 6 million Hong Kong dollars is no small! Shao Yifu pondered slightly, and after calculating the cost of publicity and the required benefits, the pressure in his heart increased by one point. Shao Weiming knew what his father was thinking about. After a long silence, Shao Yifu asked softly: "Have you seen this movie?" Shao Weiming nodded: "I secretly went to the Universal Cinema last night to watch it." Shao Yifu continued to ask without expression, "What about the quality?" After Shao Weiming was silent for a few seconds, he glanced at the newspaper on the desktop, saw the bolded number on the front page, and said with difficulty: "Dad, although I don''t want to admit it, but "Alien E¡¤T" The quality of the movie is extremely high that I have seen, and its reputation is good, and it is suitable for families to watch together, so... it is certain that the box office will explode, at least it can last for more than half a month." "For now, avoiding the edge is the wisest choice, but... hey..." Before finishing speaking, Shao Weiming let out a long sigh, his face showing sadness. Shao Yifu believed his son''s words, so he was even more unhappy in his heart. He slowly shook his head and said, "Can''t retreat!" "We have no retreat!" Shao Weiming''s mouth squirmed, but after all he did not persuade him. Now he is the president of the Shaw Brothers Film Company. The movie "Blade Runner" is also highly recommended by his father for investment. To be honest, if you want to reschedule "Blade Runner", he is the most uncomfortable, because the rescheduling represents To admit defeat in advance. Since last year, I have been fighting a war of words with the Galaxy Film Company. Now if there is no battle, we will surrender in advance, which may save some profits. However, the Shaw Brothers Film Company will lose and lose, and the invisible loss will be very large. . "Well, it''s useless to think about it." "Warner Bros. Pictures is set for June 19th. It wants to suppress MGM Pictures. Even if we postpone it in Asia, we will not postpone it in the US." "After all, the Asian film market is relatively small. The key is to look at the North American and European markets." "Of course, the quality of the film is fundamental. If the quality of the film is good, the momentum of "Alien E¡¤T" can be interrupted next weekend. If the film is not popular, the box office will not work for another time." "I have faith in "Blade Runner"!" At the end, Shao Yifu looked inexplicable, and he didn''t know whether he was talking to his son or was cheering for himself. Seeing his father''s decision, Shao Weiming nodded and solemnly said: "Dad, our "Blade Runner" will definitely hit the box office!" Shao Yifu showed a smile and said: "There are still six days left, continue to increase publicity, not let the public opinion be taken away by the enemy, don''t feel sorry for the money!" Shao Weiming took a deep breath and responded loudly: "Yes!" "Hurry up!" Shao Yifu waved his hand, and after sending his son away, he slumped in a chair, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, Fang Yihua walked behind Shao Yifu, looked at him distressedly, and gently massaged his temples. "Kazu, we have spent so much effort and invested a huge cost. The box office of "Blade Runner" will definitely explode. Don''t worry too much." Shao Yifu smiled and said slowly: "Listen to you, don''t worry, things have reached this level, and they are already broken. If you still lose, then it is fate." "Besides." "Even if I lose, Xiangjiang movies are getting better and better. As a pioneer of Xiangjiang movies, I should be relieved to see this scene..." Fang Yihua heard the words silently and continued to massage Shao Yifu, but she sighed in her heart. As a pillow, he didn''t know that Shao Yifu was just pretending to be strong. When he said these words, it actually meant that he had a pessimistic mentality. ... Because of the time difference in various parts of the world, when Hong Kong had announced the first day''s box office, the United States did not even pass one day. However, by the afternoon of June 13, the global box office of "Alien E¡¤T" has been counted. Among them, North America is the largest ticket warehouse with 11,101 theaters and a box office of 6.92 million US dollars on the first day! The European box office totaled 2.53 million US dollars. The Asian region, as the stronghold of Asia''s first cinema circuit-Global Cinemas, will naturally have a box office with a total box office of 2.79 million US dollars. In addition, other areas add up to 360,000 US dollars. So the total box office of "Alien E¡¤T" on the world''s first day was $12.6 million! Top the world''s single-day box office champion! Data sensationalizes the global film and television industry! And other Hollywood giants also realized that after being taken over by Polaris Capital, the lion MGM once again roared to the world. The overlord of the past stood up again, and still declared his existence to the world in this overbearing manner! Warner Bros. Pictures, which is about to have a fierce confrontation with MGM, realized the seriousness of the matter and urgently convened a high-level meeting, which attracted the attention of many reporters and looked forward to the reaction of Warner Bros. Pictures. ... As a group of viewers finished watching the film, the reputation of "Alien E¡¤T" began to ferment. Tenderness, youthful innocence, and alternative friendship can be harmoniously unified in one film. The sincere and cute little alien with a turtle-like belly, a spring-like neck, and Einstein''s eyes-E¡¤T, captured the hearts of all fans Under the word of mouth, the audience''s enthusiasm for watching movies increased even more. The next day''s global box office climbed again, reaching 13.52 million US dollars. The global box office of "Alien E¡¤T" exceeded 20 million US dollars. The mark reached $261.2 million! And the first weekend box office in North America reached 14.11 million US dollars, topping the North American weekend box office champion! After the end of the week. Hong Kong¡¯s local box office reached 14.15 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a record for the first week of Hong Kong¡¯s local box office. As a supporting role in the film, Zhou Runfa became the envy of all the performers in Hong Kong! The total box office in the world''s first week reached $73.54 million! Among them, North America''s first week box office reached 38.24 million US dollars, which broke the first week box office record created by "Star Wars 4: A New Hope" in 1977, and topped North America''s single-week box office championship history. ! For a time, the American entertainment media caught up with this news and reported it like a chicken blood, which further spurred the popularity of "Alien E¡¤T". Even the popularity of MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films has soared. In particular, Galaxy Films has benefited the most, and its popularity in the United States has skyrocketed. However, the road to success is destined to encounter obstacles. Countless people with ghosts in their hearts would not dare MGM to be so arrogant, and they all cursed it for a big somersault. As the week ends. The first obstacle with many secret blessings appeared. On June 19th, Warner Bros. Pictures'' annual flagship sci-fi masterpiece-"" was released. PS: The second one will be sent, please recommend a monthly pass! Thank you! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1136: Shaw blood loss! Choose! MGM Pictures held its world premiere. As the currently stronger Warner Bros. Pictures company, it is naturally unwilling to be compared. It also held a very grand premiere. The stars are shining at the ceremony and the coming media That''s right. On the side of Xiangjiang, the Shaw Brothers Film Company also held a premiere ceremony, and then at midnight on June 19, it began to screen movies on the Shaw Theaters. Wu Siyuan strategically despised "Blade Runner", but it does not mean that he ignored it. Because I really hope that "Alien E¡¤T" will create a box office record of 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, he has to watch any film that may pose a threat to "Alien E¡¤T" before he can see it. Judge. Therefore, in the early morning of June 19, he wore sunglasses and a hat and came to a Shaw Brothers cinema in a low-key manner. When queuing to buy tickets, a young couple stood in front of him. It seems that the girl didn¡¯t want to watch "Blade Runner" before, but only listened to the young man pointing at the crowds nearby, and said with some complacency: "Azhen, it¡¯s right to watch "Blade Runner". Just listen to the name. Domineering, you must be right tonight, you can rest assured." The girl was still a little reluctant, holding the young man¡¯s hand, and whispered: "But I heard Caixia and they all said that "Alien E¡¤T" is so warm, it''s most suitable for watching it with a boyfriend or a family. Killing..." The girl observed her boyfriend''s face while talking, and when she found that her boyfriend''s face was not good-looking, she pursed her mouth, but did not continue. "A ticket for "Blade Runner", the back row will do." After the young couple entered, Wu Siyuan took out the money and said to the conductor. After receiving the ticket, he went straight to the ticket inspection area. More than two hours later... The first movie ended, and the audience left one after another. When Wu Siyuan came out, he saw Shaw Cinemas employees asking about the audience''s viewing experience from time to time. He deliberately slowed down to listen. Most of the audience cursed, making the Shaw Cinemas employees very embarrassed. And he also saw the couple in front of him when he bought the tickets. The girl kept complaining about not looking good, but the boy didn''t dare to talk back this time, but kept cursing the Shaw Brothers Film Company. Even some people were upset, and when they walked out, they constantly complained to the people who queued up to buy tickets to persuade them that there is no need to waste money. I met so many people and said that some people really gave up watching on the spot and left the Shaw Cinemas directly, either going home or going to the Universal Cinemas. After walking out of the Shaw Cinemas, Wu Siyuan turned to look at the lights of the cinema, smiled lightly, and then walked towards the parking lot with his head swaggered. "Blade Runner" is definitely not the opponent of "Alien E¡¤T", don''t want to stop "Alien E¡¤T" from reaching the top! After all, "Blade Runner" is a science fiction film, but science fiction is a broad concept, and the science fiction mentioned in "Blade Runner" is only reflected in the movie''s worldview setting, but its story core is completely different. What is the core of the movie "Blade Runner"? It is sci-fi in spirit-it explores the challenges of science that has developed to another stage to human cognition. This kind of extremely in-depth plot is not suitable for the general public to watch, especially in places like Xiangjiang where the level of education is generally low, it is only strange that most audiences can understand it! It is more suitable to be released in the 21st century! ... Early the next morning, Shao Weiming learned that the audience was struck by lightning after watching the movie, and then called his subordinates to analyze the reasons. The result was simple-the audience could not understand the plot. There is no solution to this problem! The situation in Europe and North America is better than Xiangjiang. After all, the education level in Europe and America is higher than that in Xiangjiang in this era, and the market for science fiction movies is also larger. But at the end of the day, the box office was not very satisfactory. "Blade Runner"''s North American lineup rate exceeded 20% on the first day, but its box office accounted for only 12.6%, and the first day''s box office was only 3.87 million US dollars. On the other hand, the movie "Alien E¡¤T", the North American box office that day was higher than that of last Saturday, breaking the $7 million line, reaching $7.26 million! Sit down! In the Hong Kong market, the box office of "Blade Runner" was only 980,000 Hong Kong dollars on the first day. If this result is put in the usual Hong Kong movies, it would be excellent. It is not impossible to get a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars by the end of the screening without the reputation of being broken. But as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Comparing the day¡¯s "Alien E¡¤T" with Xiangjiang¡¯s full-day box office of 2.26 million Hong Kong dollars, Shao Weiming and Shao Yifu only felt that the world was gloomy. After the bad reputation on the first day was fermented, the box office of the movie "Blade Runner" fell off a cliff on the second day. Many media have caught the opportunity with a rhythm. Regardless of the life and death of "Blade Runner", the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company use the film critics'' film reviews and audience survey feedback data as weapons, and vigorously step on "Silver "Wing Killer" comes to "Alien E¡¤T". The box office in North America was $1.97 million on the day, which was less than one-third of "Alien E¡¤T", and it was only ranked fourth at the box office that day. And the box office of Xiangjiang is only, "Blade Runner" does not even have 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, only 440,000 Hong Kong dollars. The global box office of "Blade Runner" on the second day was only US$3.31 million, which was nearly half down from the US$6.59 million on the first day. Theater attendance rates were generally low, and some decisively looked to the money. The theater directly chose to change the movie ruthlessly, and it was the movie "Alien E¡¤T". "Blade Runner", in order to fight the "Alien E¡¤T", has been laboriously selected for simultaneous global releases, which has become a laughing stock. ... Xiangjiang TVB headquarters building, chairman''s office. The atmosphere in the entire office is very dull, and it has been ten minutes since it has been quiet. Shao Yifu did not want to speak, Shao Weiming had no face to speak, Fang Yihua did not dare to speak. All there is in the office is a heavy gasp. a long time. Shao Weiming, with bloodshot eyes, said with a full face of self-reproach: "Say, I blame me, and I am eager to make a career. If I don''t recommend to you to invest in "Blade Runner", there will be no such situation. " "Sorry, I''m not making a movie..." At this time, Shao Weiming was under tremendous pressure. In order to invest in "Blade Runner", his father put out 150 million Hong Kong dollars to invest in the company''s difficult operation, plus the cost of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars announced later. A total of 160 million Hong Kong dollars was invested! You know, in the past year, under the competition between Galaxy Film Company and Golden Harvest Film Company, the Shaw Brothers Film Company had a difficult operation, and its annual net profit was less than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention the Shaw Theater line. When the source quality is generally poor, it can only barely protect the operating costs. Judging from the current situation of "Blade Runner", it is certain to hit the street, and it is hard to say whether the global box office can exceed 30 million US dollars. If the global box office is just 30 million U.S. dollars, after deducting the movie theaters and value-added tax, the share that belongs to the producers is about 30%. Warner Bros. Pictures and Shaw Brothers Pictures have their own distribution. Channel, therefore, can be converted into a part of the share, so even if 33%, it can only be allocated to 10 million US dollars. With the reputation of "Blade Runner", even if you sell the copyright of the video tape, you can''t sell it at a high price. It is good to be able to sell for two million US dollars. Then the total revenue of this "Blade Runner" can be estimated at 1,200 Ten thousand U.S. dollars. According to the agreed revenue sharing ratio, the Shaw Brothers can allocate about 6 million US dollars, which is less than 28 million Hong Kong dollars. The total cost of 160 million Hong Kong dollars, but only 28 million Hong Kong dollars can be recovered, and the manpower and energy invested by the company. Blood loss! He defeated the Shaw Brothers Film Company''s profits in the next four or five years at one time. Now that the company has suffered heavy losses and limited financial resources, it is even more difficult to cope with the competition between Galaxy Film Company and Jiahe Film Company. It is difficult to say whether there will be a net profit of 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars each year in the future... Seeing his son¡¯s self-blame and guilt, even falling into a state of self-denial, Shao Yifu sighed and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Okay, Amin, you are not to blame for this matter, it is me who made the decision. Investment, if I disagree, you say it''s useless to break the sky." Shao Weiming touched his heart, his eyes gradually moistened, his nose was a bit sore, and he choked up, "Dad, I''m sorry..." Shao Yifu didn''t see anyone crying. He didn''t go to see his son. He raised his head and blinked. He waved his hand and raised the volume, saying, "Well, don''t blame yourself. Victory or defeat is a common business for soldiers. How can there be no risk in doing business~www. novelhall.com~A successful businessman must remain calm when he succeeds, and he must maintain his mind when he fails." "Our Shaw Brothers movie has been famous for decades, and it''s time to make way for later generations." "You should calm down during this time, and think about the future, whether to continue to run the film company or come to TVB to pick up my class." "Fortunately, TVB is now on the star. Although it can''t compete with Global Satellite TV, the market has expanded. Anyway, it can still have a relatively stable profit. It is enough to be used for heirlooms." Shao Yifu planned to gradually withdraw from the movie market two years ago, but it was difficult for TVB to come out because of the rise of Global Satellite TV, which made him hesitate again, that is, after TV stations followed the trend and became stars, they opened a way to survive. Now this failure has once again confirmed his idea of ??withdrawing from the film market and focusing on the TV field. However, whether to withdraw depends on how his son Shao Weiming chooses. He is old, and the future is the next generation after all. If the son can still be motivated to fight in the film market, even if the risks are huge, he, the father, will still give strong support. Under Shao Yifu''s gaze, Shao Weiming cleared up his emotions and nodded his head: "Dad, I will consider it clearly." "Ok!" ... PS: It¡¯s not good to watch the protagonist¡¯s company. The movie is also profitable. If I write a total box office directly, the time will be too jumpy. "Alien E¡¤T" was released abnormally for nearly a year before it was released. The box office on the weekend in June of the following year still has more than one million dollars. I can''t just skip one year, right? But after writing this, I won¡¯t want to look at the details in the next chapter (again, these words do not reach the 200-character billing line, free of charge) https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1137: The Hong Kong Film Market has changed After the failed sniper of "Blade Runner", all major Hollywood studios knew that "Alien E¡¤T" was unstoppable and the lion''s power was unstoppable. Fortunately, the film companies can only postpone the release of the main film recently released. Their choice is extremely beneficial to MGM Pictures. In the absence of a good movie in the same period, the audience naturally rushed to watch the movie "Alien E¡¤T". In addition, MGM Pictures has once again cooperated with some positive theaters, and the number of theaters in North America alone has reached more than 1,250. This made "Alien E¡¤T" the weekend box office champion in production and refreshed the box office height, and the global box office reached a new high in the second week. Reached $84.69 million! The total box office in two weeks has reached 158.23 million US dollars. Because the publicity is done by itself, the cost is lower and the box office share is higher. Not to mention that Universal Cinemas is the largest screening party, and profits are left-handed to right-handed. So in fact, the cost of investment in filming and the cost of publicity has long been earned back, and a certain amount of profit has been obtained. The box office behind is pure profit! Historically, the total North American box office of the movie "Alien E¡¤T" was US$360 million, and the global total box office was more than US$792 million. However, the production cost of "Alien E¡¤T" in this life is more than 20 million US dollars, and the power of publicity is more powerful. Therefore, it is absolutely not a problem to go beyond the original trajectory, and it is easy to break through 800 million US dollars. This means that in the future, "Alien E¡¤T" will be able to earn more than 450 million US dollars in net profit for Xia Yu at the box office. Coupled with the value of various copyrights, creating a value of 600 million US dollars is absolutely not a problem! ... In the following days, "Alien E¡¤T" continued to be released hotly, but in Xiangjiang, the Shaw Brothers Film Company became a laughing stock, because after the box office of "Blade Runner" plummeted, it really couldn''t get up. As for Shaw Brothers¡¯ losses, many media have probably estimated them. Not mentioning the hidden reputation and future losses, the loss of cash alone exceeds HK$130 million. It is equivalent to losing the net profit of one of the top 100 listed companies of Hong Kong! Soon, there was another breaking news that the Shao family was ready to completely accept the plant and quit the film industry, intending to sell the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas. This news is really breaking news, and many people are unbelievable. The former overlord of the Hong Kong film industry, the Shaw Brothers Film Company, which has made outstanding contributions to the Hong Kong film industry, is going to disappear? Who will spend the huge assets of the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas? What will the structure of the Hong Kong film market become? For a time, discussions on these issues became very intense. In this case, Wu Siyuan and Jiang Xieqiang once again joined Xia Yu''s office. Xia Yu reads the newspaper every day, so of course he is also clear about the Shaw Brothers Film Company. Looking at Wu Siyuan and Jiang Zhiqiang sitting in front of them, Xia Yu smiled and asked: "What? Do you have any thoughts on the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas?" Wu Siyuan and Jiang Zhiqiang looked at each other, and both smiled awkwardly. Wu Siyuan gently patted Xia Yu''s flattery and said: "Chairman Yingming, we really can''t hide anything from you!" Xia Yu laughed dumbly, and said with a smile: "Don''t give me these empty heads, talk about things." "Can you be 100% sure that the Shao family is ready to quit?" Wu Siyuan looked at Jiang Zhiqiang, he did the inquiring about the news, and he knew better. Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said: "Chairman, the news is certain. It was Shao Yifu''s son Shao Weiming who personally released the news. I asked others to call and ask, Shao Weiming also admitted on the phone." "It''s impossible for Shao Weiming to joke about this kind of thing, and no one from the Shao family came forward to refute the rumors." "Moreover, the quality of the films produced by the Shaw Brothers Film Company in the past two years is indeed not high, and the probability of other film companies showing excellent films is not high. Therefore, the Shaw Cinemas are basically operating on a guaranteed basis. "This time the Shaw Brothers Film Company lost more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Shao family is still increasing its shareholding in TVB. There is not much money left to invest in the film company, and banks may not dare to lend them. " "I think the Shao family is going to retreat to TVB and prepare to concentrate resources to compete with President Huang in the TV field." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Jiang Zhiqiang''s analysis. In fact, under the competition between Jiahe Film Company and New Art City Film Company in the previous life, the Shaw Brothers Film Company was unable to handle it. Yifu Shaw later leased the Shaw Theater Line to Pan Disheng. Although the Shaw Brothers Film Company did not Production was discontinued, but after 1985, even one film a year could not be stable. After entering the 1990s, it was not making films for several years. Although under the influence of Xia Yu in this life, Lei Juekun did not set foot in the film industry, Huang Baiming and Mecca were in Universal Television and Galaxy Films respectively, so New Art City Films did not appear. And Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao were also compiled by Galaxy Film Company, so Debao Film Company did not appear. However, Xia Yu''s Galaxy Film Company is a giant, and the pressure on Shaw Brothers Film Company is greater than the pressure on the joint production of Sega He Film Company + Xinyicheng Film Company + Debao Film Company. And also let Shao Yifu not see the day of his early days. In addition, Xia Yu''s Global Satellite TV created strong pressure on TVB in the TV field, making Shao''s funds very tight. Therefore, Shao Yifu''s decisive choice to withdraw from the film market makes sense. "So do you want to acquire the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas separately? Or a partial acquisition?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Wu Siyuan first said: "Chairman, I want to buy the Shaw Brothers Film Company in its entirety." "Although we currently have Xiangjiang Culture and Media School to provide talents, it takes a long time to cultivate talents. The performance talents are better, but it is difficult to cultivate talents behind the scenes." "Although the Shaw Brothers Film Company has been poached by us and Jiahe Film Company, its background is still very deep. If we can take all of these people over, then our annual production of films will be doubled. The quality of the film There will also be a certain degree of improvement." "Now that the Xiangjiang film market is described as a super-two strong structure, we are the super overlord. The Shaw Brothers Film Company and Jiahe Film Company are first-class powerhouses, and then other second- and third-rate film companies." "I think if we don¡¯t take over, if the Shaw Brothers Film Company falls into Wrinkle¡¯s hands, it will narrow the gap with us. Then there will be greater competitive pressure. Our rear is unstable. If we want to fully break out of the Asian market, There will be some unstable constraints." "So let''s just eat it, and completely stabilize our dominance." "Yes, there is one more thing, that is, the Shaw Brothers Film Company has the largest film library in Hong Kong. I think this is a huge asset, and it may be used at any time." "These are my reasons." Xia Yu nodded slightly but he did not immediately express his position, but looked at Jiang Zhiqiang with a slight smile. "Xeon, what was your original intention to acquire the Shaw Cinemas? Will the Shaw Cinemas overlap with the Global Cinemas?" Jiang Zhiqiang replied truthfully: "Chairman, now the Shaw Cinemas has 16 self-operated cinemas in Hong Kong, and there are more than 130 self-operated cinemas in Southeast Asia. In addition, the distribution network is involved. More than two hundred movie theaters are the second largest movie theater after us." "There must be some overlaps in locations, but because the Shaw Theater line was laid out earlier, there are many theaters in very good locations. Even if we overlap with them, we are not afraid." "The Asian film market is growing rapidly every year. The number of cinemas is currently sufficient for the time being, but it will not be enough in the future. According to the plan of the global cinema chain, the future is to continue to build or acquire movie theaters to expand the scale, so we are now acquiring Shao ahead The theater line is not bad, and it can be done in one step." "As for another consideration, it is the same as Mr. Wu''s. As the second largest theater chain after us, the Shaw Cinemas, if taken away by Jiahe Film Company, their unexpected profits in Xiangjiang will increase sharply. It is also a big trouble for us." "Even if it is not acquired by Jiahe Films, but acquired by other Ren, it is also a very unstable factor." "It''s better to be acquired by us to completely stabilize the dominance of the Asian film market!" "Chairman, this is my reason." After speaking, both Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, waiting for his order. PS: The second one is more, today is nearly 6,000 words, I ask for a monthly pass, thank you! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1138: The Great Pit of Latin American Sovereign Debt Xia Yu''s eyes swept across the faces of Wu Siyuan and Jiang Xieqiang. He smiled and asked, "How much cash flow does your respective company have now?" Wu Siyuan first replied: "The box office split of "Alien E¡¤T" has not yet arrived. In addition to this, there are more than 230 million Hong Kong dollars in the company''s accounts." Jiang Zhiqiang then said: "Chairman, Global Cinemas has more cash flow. Also excluding the box office revenue of "Alien E¡¤T", there are more than 410 million Hong Kong dollars in cash." It can be seen from the cash flow of the two companies that it is too difficult for other competitors to compete. Xia Yu said with a smile: "It looks like you can all complete the acquisition." Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and replied: "Yes, although the net assets of the Shaw Cinemas have not been carefully calculated, it is probably more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The Global Cinemas can easily eat it." Wu Siyuan went on to say: "Shaw Brothers Film Studio, Shao Yifu will definitely not sell it. He still has to use it to make TV dramas. After the movie studio is excluded, the value of Shaw Brothers Film Company is lower, and the main value is concentrated in In terms of personnel and other intangible assets, after this loss, I estimate that around 50 million Hong Kong dollars will be able to win the entire Shaw Brothers Film Company." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and exhorted: "Since you all have a plan that will benefit the company so much, then do it." "Compared with Jiahe Films and other competitors, if you want to acquire, you will pay more. You should pay more attention to specific acquisitions." "We understand!" Wu Siyuan and Jiang Zhiqiang responded in unison. ... Just when the public opinion of Hong Kong was dominated by the change of ownership of the Shaw Brothers film empire. What the people of Xiangjiang don''t know is that Xia Yu has accomplished another great thing in the global film market. On June 25, with the financial support of Citibank and Wells Fargo, The Coca-Cola Company completed a privatized wholly-owned acquisition of one of the Hollywood giants, Columbia Film Industries, at a price of 750 million U.S. dollars. As soon as the news was announced, the turbulent American film industry set off another huge wave. Because of the equity disposal situation, it appears that Polaris Capital is only a 13% shareholder of Coca-Cola. Therefore, others do not know that Xia Yu¡¯s influence in Hollywood has now surpassed Warner Bros. Pictures, ranking No. One! After MGM Pictures merged with United American Films, the eight Hollywood giants have actually become seven giants. Currently, two of the seven giants are actually controlled by Xia Yu. With the support of MGM Pictures and Columbia Film Industries, the development environment for Universal Cinemas and Galaxy Films will get better and better! In the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Xia Yu quietly came to his Galaxy Fund Company. Since the last time he led the Galaxy Fund to fight a battle in the international crude oil market, it has been a long time since the Galaxy Fund had a large-scale war. Although the actions of Galaxy Fund in the future are still more dangerous and profitable than companies such as Bright Fund and Jiuding Securities. However, Liu Xiao and others can''t bring up the passion, and they can even achieve a state of absolute calmness without any fluctuations in the investment of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. It''s like seeing Mount Everest, and looking at other peaks can hardly be stimulated. "boss!" "boss!" In the greetings along the way, Xia Yu came to his own office, and then gathered a group of senior officials of the Galaxy Fund. Liu Xiao, Xue He, Song Yang, Li De, Tang Yong, Ma Kai, Wang Gang, Liu Wei and others. After everyone arrived, the atmosphere in the office gradually became eager. Xia Yu''s eyes swept across everyone''s faces, and Xia he couldn''t help being a little surprised. I still remember that when the Galaxy Fund was established in a low-key manner, in his opinion, these people still had a lot of room for improvement. Many of them seemed a little immature with many shortcomings. But now? Everyone is in a very good state of mind, full of energy, deep-sighted and firm, that kind of steady and shrewd temperament is completely exuded from the inside out. This means that everyone is very confident, which is an obvious manifestation of the absence of ability panic. Xia Yu came back to his senses with a smile, and exclaimed: "Seeing everyone in this state, I am relieved about the next action!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao and others couldn''t help but smile. "This time, I will lead everyone to act again and create new brilliance!" "As for the action goal, you must have guessed it based on the tasks I assigned to you before." "So I won''t say more about the unnecessary nonsense. Let''s just look at the information in hand and discuss together." "Liu Wei! Send all the finished materials." "Ok!" After Liu Weiying finished, he got up and handed out the two thick stacks of Xia Yu to everyone one by one. They didn''t read all of these materials except Xia Yu once, they only understood part of the situation. This time, they will understand all aspects. After receiving the information, Xia Yu didn''t speak, and directly took the lead to open the information and browse it. For a time, the entire office was only left with breathing and paper flipping. These materials were collected and sorted out by Xia Yu, who spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and were detailed materials on the debt markets of developing countries around the world. The amount of outstanding foreign debt of developing countries soared from US$125 billion in 1972 to US$62 billion in 1982. Among them, the outstanding debts of 19 Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, totaled 328.7 billion US dollars. It accounts for 52.5% of the outstanding foreign debt of developing countries. More than half! By the end of 1981, banks in Latin America and other countries alone accounted for 41% of bank loans in the United States, and these loans were highly concentrated in the hands of a few large banks, with 24 banks in the hands. More than four-fifths of them are loans. The proportion of loans from banks in Europe and other countries to Latin America and other countries is even higher, as high as 48%, up to 157.7 billion US dollars. In the European countries¡¯ bank loan market to Latin America, the United Kingdom accounts for the largest proportion, accounting for 24.8% of the European share, nearly a quarter, even in the entire Latin America. The country¡¯s outstanding debt also accounted for more than ten points, reaching 11.9%, or $39.2 billion. And these loans were concentrated in the hands of Barclays Bank and Westminster National Bank. The Barclays Bank alone accounted for 34.9% of the UK¡¯s share, and the total debt held was 131 $1.68 billion. The debt amount of Latin American countries is also hierarchical. The first echelon is Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela and Chile. Among them, Brazil¡¯s foreign debt balance is 91.3 billion U.S. dollars, Mexico ranks second at 87.6 billion U.S. dollars, Argentina is third at 43.6 billion U.S. dollars, and Venezuela is fourth at 35.6 billion U.S. dollars. U.S. dollars, Chile is at 17.16 billion U.S. dollars. The total external debt balance of the five countries totaled 274.7 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 83.58% of Latin America''s total external debt. By the beginning of 1983, the principal and interest payable will be due. Mexico is US$430.1 billion, Brazil is US$30.8 billion, Argentina is US$18.4 billion, Venezuela is US$19.9 billion, and Chile is US$8. 1.6 billion US dollars. The debt servicing ratios of the five countries (that is, the repayment of the principal and interest of foreign debts) accounted for 126%, 117%, 153%, and 1% of export revenue respectively. One hundred and one and one hundred and nine percent. All far exceed the internationally recognized warning line of debt service ratio of 20%. ...

Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1139: What if the Fed raises interest rates again? After half an hour. Xia Yu found that everyone had finished reading, almost all of them were thinking. He smiled, breaking the quiet atmosphere. "Well, everyone has finished watching." "What do you think?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he glanced back and forth on everyone''s faces. Seeing no one said anything, Xia Yu directly called. This time, instead of ordering the most outstanding Liu Xiao, he gave Song Yang the opportunity. "Song Yang, tell me first." Song Yang was stunned, then nodded, and then he muttered for a moment and said: "Boss, after reading these materials, two words came to my mind." "Huge pit, opportunity!" "Mexico, Brazil and other five countries, each country''s year-end debt service rate exceeded the international warning line five times, Argentina''s highest, nearly eight times!" "The foreign exchange of these countries is basically in a dry state, and the foreign exchange they will obtain from commercial exports in the next five or six years will be enough for the total debt to be repaid this year." "Especially in August, Mexico has a debt of more than ten billion dollars that needs to be repaid when it is due." "Except for banks in Europe and the United States who continue to lend large sums of money and allow Mexico to convert debt, otherwise I really can''t think of where Mexico can take money to repay debt." "A peek into the panoply, the sovereign debt of Latin America and other countries has huge hidden dangers of crisis." "These countries have an outstanding debt of more than US$300 billion, which is equivalent to the annual GDP of Canada, the seventh largest in the world. If there is a crisis, it will affect all major banks in Europe and the United States. The global financial market and capital market will Get shocked." "If we mobilize funds and hide in the stock market, foreign exchange market and other markets, we will definitely make a lot of money!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, but did not comment. Instead, he looked at other people and asked: "What about you? What do you think?" Everyone looked at each other. Tang Yong pushed his glasses and said, "Boss, let me talk about my personal opinion." "I have been studying the US economic situation and the Fed''s policy direction for the past six months." "In 1979, Paul Volcker took office as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the second oil crisis that broke out has exacerbated the problem of stagflation in the US economy. For the sake of American economic stability, Paul Volcker used tough measures to suppress the increase in inflation. In June of last year, Paul Volcker raised the federal funds rate from an average of 11.2% in 1979 to a record high of 19%, and the loan interest rate also increased to 2%. Eleven five." "Since this year, the US federal funds rate has also remained near the highest level in history." "The Fed''s tight monetary policy has been unprecedented since 1979, and this has caused a large amount of funds to flow out of Latin America." "Then it is the problems of Latin America and other countries." "On the one hand, the borrowing interest rate in Latin America and other countries is floating, and the soaring federal funds rate in the United States has made the economies of Latin America and other countries vulnerable, and debt has risen sharply. Take Mexico as an example. Part of it accounts for 30% of the annual export value." "After the outbreak of the oil crisis, the global real economy has been greatly affected. The demand for industrial raw materials has dropped sharply, and the international prices of industrial raw materials have continued to fall. This is for Latin America, which basically relies on the sale of domestic natural resources to earn foreign exchange. It¡¯s the deadliest for the country." "But I think that the debt crisis in Latin America and other countries still has great uncertainties. Now the Fed¡¯s monetary policy has been at the highest level in history for a year. Latin America and other countries are now adapting. As long as they are willing to sell their fixed assets, Or if these mines and oil fields continue to be mortgaged, they can still be converted into debt to tide over the difficulties." "Unless the Fed challenges people''s bottom line again and raises interest rates again to allow global capital to flow back to the United States." Compared with Song Yang''s analysis, Tang Yong''s vision is relatively broad and relatively conservative. However, Xia Yu did not comment, and nodded with a smile, then looked at the others. "what about you?" "Don''t have any scruples and speak freely!" "boss¡­¡­" ... Next, everyone expressed their opinions. From the attitude of the boss Xia Yu, it is conceivable that there are great benefits in this, so the main theme has been set long ago, otherwise they would not be so solemnly called to a meeting to discuss. But the main theme is the main theme, how to implement, the radical attitude or the conservative attitude, this is a difference. Everyone tries their best to improve or challenge others'' opinions, and analyze the problem as comprehensively as possible, so that the boss can make decisions more securely. It can be said that everyone¡¯s starting point is good. Therefore, after listening to everyone''s opinions, Xia Yu was in a pretty good mood. Everyone here is not his echo bug, but an elite who knows how to think independently and dare to make suggestions. Xia Yu couldn''t help sighing again that Liu Xiao and others have changed a lot compared to a few years ago! However, this is a great thing! Xia Yu sat up straight, drank his saliva and cleared his throat. He smiled and commented: "Your analysis is very good. Everyone''s opinions are well-founded and unique. I am very pleased!" Everyone smiled knowingly upon hearing the words. Xia Yu suddenly asked, "I ask you a question. Do you think that in the next few months, will Mexico choose to breach the contract?" As soon as this was said everyone''s expression changed. Full default? This is too absolute! You must know that Mexico¡¯s current debt is as high as 87 billion US dollars! Although they were discussing just now, based on data and data, they only think that Mexico¡¯s debt of more than 10 billion US dollars due in August and the remaining debt of more than 30 billion US dollars due at the end of the year may be problematic, but Nor is there no room for activity. This is fundamentally different from the total breach of contract called by the boss Xia Yu! "Boss, all loans in Mexico come from commercial banks in European and American countries. Even if there is a chance, these commercial banks will actively respond and will not sit back and watch Mexico''s total default?" "Short-term default, and part of the default, is enough to cause their stock prices to plummet, and it is enough to cause huge volatility in Mexico''s stock and foreign exchange markets." Xue He said suddenly, still a little unbelievable. Xia Yu said with an inexplicable smile: "What if the Fed raises interest rates again?" "This¡­¡­" Xue He was immediately stunned. Tang Yong blurted out: "If the Fed raises interest rates again, it will be an irreversible trend for international capital to flow back to the United States. If large European and American banks want to continue lending abroad, it will be difficult for them to pass internally!" "By then, this will likely be the last straw to bend Mexico!" "Of course, there is also an uncertain factor, that is, the information only mentions that Mexico is actively borrowing globally, but it does not mention how much money Mexico has borrowed now!" After Tang Yong finished speaking, everyone''s eyes focused on Xia Yu again. PS: It''s the weekend, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1140: $10 billion in ammunition Xia Yudan said with a smile: "I don''t know exactly how much money Mexico borrowed. Except for a few people, such as the President of Mexico and the Mexican Minister of Finance, no one outside would know." "But I definitely won''t have more, more than 10 billion dollars is absolutely nothing!" "In Mexico''s troubled situation, such a large number is not something that one or two banks dare to lend. At least ten banks have to." "As long as you borrow, there will definitely be news outflow, but now there is no, then there is only one possibility." "Mexico didn''t borrow enough money, and tried to hide the news and dare not leak it!" Hearing Xia Yu''s explanation, everyone suddenly felt that it was true. If Mexico has borrowed enough money and is confident enough, why conceal it? Why bother borrowing money crazily around the world now? "Boss, if Mexico can''t borrow enough money now and the Fed raises interest rates again, Mexico will definitely be unable to recover, and can only wait for the execution ground." Liu Xiao said with some excitement. He had already begun to imagine what the scene would be and how many opportunities there would be! Xia Yu said affirmatively: "According to the news I have received, Ronald Reagan''s economic reforms are not effective enough, and there is insufficient funds to stimulate the domestic economy. The Fed has once again been planning to raise interest rates, but it has not been disclosed for the time being. " "This news is very secret, and it is difficult for me to get the news." "The banks behind the Federal Reserve may think of problems in Latin America and other congresses, but it is absolutely impossible for countries such as Mexico to dare to default by default." "According to my analysis, once the Fed raises interest rates, the Mexican peso will depreciate again. With Mexico¡¯s current debt, the annual interest rate will be further expanded. The current maturity of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars will not be higher. There will be three more before the end of the year. More than tens of billions of dollars of debt are due, and there will be more than 40 billion of debts in the future." "Mexico''s economy and government finances have entered an infinite loop. In the absence of hope, Mexico will inevitably choose to default." "As long as Mexico dares to open the head of this rogue, then Latin America and other countries will definitely follow up." "At that time, banks in Europe, the United States and other countries will definitely be forced to choose to retreat, because if they do not retreat in order to settle as smoothly as possible, a large number of banks will fail as a result, which will further evolve into a global financial crisis!" As Xia Yu said, the credibility of a country is really important, but the pressure-bearing capacity of each country is like a bamboo. There is always a bending limit. When the bamboo is bent beyond its limit, the bamboo will naturally collapse. Break! Hearing this, everyone was excited. They hope that the bigger the crisis, the better, which means that they plan ahead and create greater benefits. As for the life and death of other banks or industries, they are not within their consideration. When a company collapses, other companies will eventually come up. Everyone in this earth will be the same. They just work hard to make money for the boss, and the others have nothing to do with them! "Boss, where are we going to start, and when will we act?" Liu Xiao asked with a look of expectation. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and didn''t answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Liu Xiao, the last time I saw the company there was still 3.1 billion U.S. dollars in funds, what about now?" Liu Xiao immediately replied: "Boss, we now have more than US$2.23 billion in liquidity, plus more than US$2.65 billion in stocks, contracts and other assets, which can be sold at any time. " In other words, the Galaxy Fund can collect more than US$4.88 billion in a short period of time! Xia Yu immediately ordered: "All the stocks and contracts of these investments are sold off and the funds are collected." "Yes!" Liu Xiao said with a solemn expression. Then Xia Yu thought for a while and said again: "In addition, I''ll take another 5.1 billion U.S. dollars here to collect 10 billion U.S. dollars for action!" Hearing this number, everyone felt refreshed. The boss is really big, as always, 10 billion U.S. dollars. If you spread it out and use some leverage, you can easily leverage tens of billions of dollars for operations. "As for these funds, they will be operated from the following aspects. Please remember your respective division of labor." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, everyone was sitting in jeopardy, picked up the pen, opened the notebook and prepared to record. Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then said: "This time, we will start with the stock market and the foreign exchange market." "Among them, Tang Yong is responsible for shorting US and Canadian banks." "Xue He is responsible for shorting the banks involved in lending in European countries." "Song Yang is responsible for short-selling banks outside Europe and North America, such as island countries, Australia and other countries that lend money." "Li De is responsible for the long USD exchange rate." "Liu Xiao is responsible for shorting the currencies of ten countries including Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru..." "Ma Kai is responsible for shorting the stock markets of ten countries including Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, etc. At that time, it should be difficult for funds to leave these countries, so your task is relatively heavy. You need to screen out the oil fields, mines, and minerals of these ten countries. The company¡¯s assets, which turn profits from short stocks into these assets, have to be hidden." "Wang Gang is responsible for shorting the currencies of nine countries including Brazil, Venezuela, Peru..." "As for Liu Wei, you are responsible for shorting the stock markets of Brazil, Venezuela, Peru... these nine countries, and profits are also converted into assets such as oil fields, mines, and mining companies in these nine countries, which are also closely hidden." "As for funds, I treat them equally. Everyone takes US$1.25 billion. As for how to find leverage, you can figure it out by yourself. I only look at the results." "You each have your own team, and how to allocate tasks is your own business." "This is how the plan is arranged, do any of you have any different opinions? Just mention it, and you can still adjust it on the spot." Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads one after another. "Boss, I obey the arrangement!" "Boss, I have no objection." "..." Everyone is 1.250 billion US dollars, everyone really has nothing to say, because strictly speaking, this is unfair to Liu Xiao, who is more capable. However, considering that each person''s field of responsibility is different, the operating difficulty and operating space are also different, and it is impossible to achieve complete fairness. Therefore, it depends on their respective abilities. How much capital can be leveraged to operate with the US$1.25 billion in principal, and risks and profits must be controlled. There is much work to be done here. Xia Yu made a decision and said: "Well, since there is no objection, then act according to this plan. You can collect the information you need by yourself. If you can''t collect it, give me a list. I will mobilize other forces to investigate." Immediately afterwards, he paused, his eyes sharp as a knife, and everyone''s hearts were shocked. Just listen to Xia Yu''s deep voice admonishment: "You must pay attention, you must not go aggressively, we cannot fight an unsure battle!" "The 10 billion U.S. dollars is the vast majority of the current funds I have taken out without affecting other companies, and there should be no problems." "I will also follow up on your progress at any time." "Remember?" "remember!" Everyone responded in unison, with serious faces. "Just remember it. Now the meeting is adjourned. Each of you will convene a team to study the plan. I will provide you with the data and information needed in all aspects." "Yes!" ... When everyone left, Xia Yu sat alone in the office and thought quietly. In fact, after he put 5.1 billion of funds on the Galaxy Fund, the secret funds in his personal small treasury only left more than 500 million U.S. dollars. If you think about it, he made $7.5 billion the first time he went long gold futures. Then when he fought gold and the US dollar exchange rate, he made another 15.6 billion US dollars. During the World Cup wool, stir up trouble in the futures market, short-selling a series of companies of the Swire Consortium, etc., they made another four to five billion US dollars. In oil futures, he made another $4.7 billion. All these big actions alone made him earn more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. Although he made a lot of money, he couldn''t help spending money fast! Think about his acquisition of companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other countries to build the foundation and invested a lot of money, and then continue to inject assets into the various companies under his control in the middle. Each of these items of uukahnshu.com requires large sums of money. Fortunately, he is not purely using funds. After all, there are banks under his control. There are many depositors in these banks, and many of them are called by companies under the Jiuding Consortium. In addition, many companies are also good at using funds from other banks to expand. If this is not the case, relying on Xia Yu''s support alone, and his situation spread so large, tens of billions of dollars will definitely not be enough. It is not easy to have more than ten billion dollars of funds left! This time, Xia Yu did not intend to radically use the funds of financial companies such as Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Co., and Bright Capital, nor did he want to transfer the working capital of industrial companies. At his current level, it is no longer suitable for such a risk. Ten billion U.S. dollars of funds are completely enough for action, and he doesn''t need to be too greedy. If the funds are too large, it will be difficult to hide at that time, but it will cause disaster. Even if an accident in this operation caused all the eight teams to fail and lose tens of billions of dollars in funds, his current consortium would not be able to cross it, and he still possesses sufficiently powerful hematopoietic capabilities. As long as two years, he will be able to regain his vitality and continue to wave! There are so many opportunities in the future! "But this time the opportunity is not limited to the use of the Galaxy Fund. It is still necessary to remind Peter Lynch, George Berkeley, Liu Tianci, and Wang Qi to let them avoid the pit in advance. With their abilities, they can also Seize the opportunity to make steady progress and make a fortune." After thinking about it, Xia Yu left the Galaxy Fund and was ready to go back one by one to them... PS: It will be updated today. After a busy day during the day, we will continue to update tomorrow. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1141: Earn a few hundred million dollars of zero spend "...Brother Situ, congratulations...No thanks...I don''t plan to go to the United States in the near future. I appreciate your kindness. When I go to the United States next time, I must inform you in advance." "Okay, then you''ll be busy first, and talk later when you have time!" "Patter!" In the office, Xia Yu finished chatting with Situ Boshan in a brisk tone, and then hung up the phone. Although the smile on his face was slightly reduced, it did not disappear. He hadn''t contacted Situ Boshan for a long time, and this time Situ Boshan took the initiative to call, mainly to tell him two things. The first thing is that Situ Nan, the son of Situ Boshan, successfully campaigned for the general election in San Francisco this month, becoming one of the San Francisco City Councillors and the first Chinese Congressman ever in San Francisco. It can be said that Situ Nan can be successfully selected and has an inseparable relationship with Xia Yu. Without the work that Xia Yu arranged long ago, Situ Nan would definitely not be able to go. There was a lot of resistance during this general election, but every critical period there was strength to resolve it, pushing Situ Nan up. After Situ Nan took this successful first step, it also meant that the Situ family officially entered the American political arena, and the plan that Xia Yu discussed with Situ Boshan to turn the Situ family into a banner family of Chinese American politics began. So Situ Boshan is here to thank Xia Yu. The second thing is to talk to Xia Yu about the two panda fast foods jointly operated. A year and a half ago, he invested US$10 million in Panda Fast Food, which accounted for 60% of the shares. Under the management of the Situ family, it grew rapidly. The correct business model and the appeal of Zhigongzongtang among the Chinese have enabled Panda Fast Food to expand rapidly, but it is still stable, and it has easily become the largest Chinese fast food chain brand in the United States. At present, Panda Fast Food has 69 directly-operated stores, the number of employees has exceeded 1,000, and the employee training system has been fully established. Since the establishment of the company, the total turnover has exceeded 40 million US dollars, and the development momentum is still It''s amazing. Now there are more than a dozen Chinese restaurant chain companies that follow the trend in the United States, but they are all behind the panda fast food. Although in Xia Yu''s view, the current Panda Fast Food is still just a small company, but its influence is not small. With more than 1,000 employees, more than 1,000 Chinese families are involved. When it continues to grow and develop and has tens of thousands of Chinese employees, the influence will be greater. In addition to these two things, there is actually one more thing related to Situ Boshan that is worth mentioning. Situ Boshan is worthy of being a hero. After his reminder, Zhou Tianlong who was stirring up the wind and rain in the Zhigong Hall was killed, and the power of the hall was strongly integrated, almost making Zhigong Hall a Situ A word at home, and then began the road to the shore. This news was not what Situ Boshan told him on his own initiative, but the information he learned from the net. ... For the next half month, Xia Yu will go to the Galaxy Fund every day to learn about the progress of each team, and deal with problems that arise at any time to ensure that the layout is implemented. And Xia Yu did not waste his free time. That is to play the World Cup again. In fact, from June 13th is the opening day of the World Cup in Spain. It''s just that Xia Yu can''t remember the results of the group stage. After all, there are too many matches between 24 teams. Who can remember the results of this kind of group stage. What he can remember is some of the results of the semi-finals and finals, especially this year¡¯s World Cup champion is Italy, which defeated the favorite West German national team with a score of 3-1. Before the start of the game, Italy¡¯s odds to win the championship are very high, at 11 to 1, Xia Yu asked Luo Wang''s staff to break his 200 million US dollars of funds into parts and distribute bets around the world. In fact, Xia Yu did not consider that his actions in European football last year and this year might cause changes in the World Cup. He also doesn''t know if his butterfly wings will wipe out the Italian championship trophy. But after thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to gamble, after all, the benefits far outweigh the risks. Even if all the two hundred million dollars were lost, it wouldn''t hurt his muscles. What''s more, he couldn''t make all the wrong shots if he was scattered over the rankings and scores. As the game schedule continues to advance, the time has finally arrived on July 11, when the world-famous final was held at the Santiago Bernab¨¦u Stadium in Madrid. As in the previous life, Italy played against West Germany. But this time, the fate of the West German national team seemed to be fluctuating, and it actually scored two goals! But fortunately, the West German national team did not defy the sky, and ultimately lost to Italy''s hands and missed the Hercules Cup with a score of 3-2. Although the score was wrong and lost tens of millions of dollars, it was back to Italy to win the championship. In addition, the scores and rankings of France and Poland were also suppressed before. Although some were wrong, more bets were right. The final result was that Xia Yu''s 200 million US dollars of principal was taken out, and he returned more than 1.364 billion US dollars, making a net profit of more than 1.164 billion US dollars. Ruthlessly snatched a big cake from the gambling giants and underground casinos, and ate it greasy. As a result, Xia Yu had siphoned away 5.1 billion U.S. dollars, leaving only more than 500 million U.S. dollars in the shabby small vault suddenly filled up again. UU reading looked close to 1.7 billion U.S. dollars. His purse was more bulging, Xia Yu was in a good mood, and he was more confident. In addition to being more courageous with his nightlife, his layout on the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America was also slightly more radical. After gambling, Xia Yu began his journey of waiting for the announcement of the Fed''s interest rate hike policy. It''s just that as time passed, the Fed''s interest rate hike policy has not yet come out. Instead, it is waiting for the news that the French Parliament passes the "Audiovisual Communications Act." The French media industry has once again opened a big window. Although the television industry is still under control, it has allowed the establishment of private radio stations. After George Berkeley reported the good news to him, he ordered George Berkeley to ask the Mirror Group to set up a special radio company and apply for a national radio license. In addition to opening a national radio station, he should also synchronize in France when the policy permits. Radio stations are opened in various cities. For this reason, Xia Yu also found out the exact time and used a satellite phone to call Fran?ois Mitterrand in person, and got a clear answer from the latter. For Fran?ois Mitterrand, is it better to give a radio license to who is not to whom, and to his close partners? Under the difficult circumstances of his economic reforms, his life was a bit sad, and the road to governance was cast over a shadow, making him have to plan ahead. And Xia Yu''s influence is so great that he will be able to give him stronger support than before in the next re-election election to ensure that he can be re-elected successfully! ... July 21. A sunny day. A news came from Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., and a hurricane formed in an instant. It first rolled into New York, and then quickly spread to the world. The Fed has raised interest rates again! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1142: Hurricane sweeping the world "In order to stimulate the US economy and further ease domestic inflation, Fed Chairman Paul Volcker announced at a press conference that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will change the federal funds rate from the current one on August 1. From 19% to 21%, the loan interest rate from the current 21.5% to 24%..." In the Galaxy Fund meeting room, Xia Yu, Liu Xiao and others gathered together. After Liu Xiao read the news from the United States, everyone''s faces were filled with excitement. "Great, the Fed has indeed raised interest rates, and Latin America and other countries are doomed!" "This interest rate hike came too suddenly. It was in an abnormal interest rate hike policy and only gave the capital market ten days to react. Hahaha..." "This also shows the degree of embarrassment in the U.S. economy. If it can still bear it, the Fed won''t be able to do so. I''m afraid it will use a threatening interest rate hike policy..." "Now the Fed shoots without saying anything. It''s decisive and powerful enough..." ... For a while, there was confusion in the conference room. Everyone expressed their opinions, and laughter kept coming and going. Xia Yu just smiled and watched everyone vent. For nearly a month, he has been here every day, and naturally he also knows the situation of everyone. Although Liu Xiao and others did not confide in him, Xia Yu could still see the pressure in everyone''s hearts. Now that the Fed''s policy of raising interest rates as he described has finally emerged, the general trend of international capital flows to the United States has once again appeared, and the situation of Latin America and other countries seems to be worsened. The Fed has taken a global look, and it is definitely Latin America and other countries that hurt the most. Now, they are waiting for the moment of the avalanche! "Flap!" "Okay, everyone, calm down!" After seeing everyone discussing for a while, Xia Yu clapped his hands, drawing everyone''s attention to him, and calming everyone down. In an instant, the entire conference room became quiet again. Looking at the scorching gazes that looked at him, Xia Yu glanced around with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Today is July 21. There are still ten days before the Fed actually raises interest rates." "After the policy is implemented, there may be problems in the Latin American congresses. It may be August 1, or August 5, or after August 15. All this is uncertain. ." "So the only safe time left for us is the ten days between today and August 1st!" "I have control of your progress, and some people have not completed their deployment. Although some people have completed the deployment, there is still room for optimization." "So in the next ten days, you will lead your respective teams to continue to improve the deployment according to the plan, and it must be fully completed before August 1st!" "And before August 1st, you will all arrive in your respective areas of responsibility, and you will be in charge of the town personally, and I will be in the headquarters for overall dispatch." "any questions?" With the last sound, Xia Yu suddenly raised the volume, his eyes sharp as a knife, and the breath of murder exuded all over his body. "No!" Everyone held their heads high and shouted in unison. "Okay, the meeting is over!" After all, Xia Yu stood up and took the lead to leave the meeting room without any muddle. After the others left, he hurried to their respective departments. They have to complete the deployment in the next few days, of course this is remote command. The reason for staying here is nothing more than connecting with Xia Yu in time, and their remote command can also promote work. When the Latin American sovereign debt crisis really broke out later, the fighters were changing rapidly, and they had to personally be there to direct and dispatch them so as not to delay the fighters. ... Following Paul Volcker¡¯s announcement of the Federal Reserve¡¯s interest rate hike, this news almost occupied the headlines of financial news in various countries in the next few days, and analyses on the purpose and impact of the Federal Reserve¡¯s interest rate hikes emerged endlessly. And the impact began to appear. Although the Fed''s interest rate hike policy will take effect on August 1, the dollar has once again accelerated its appreciation, and many capitals have begun to enter the United States first to seek protection. The price of gold futures also stopped the downward trend and began to rise. In fact, many of Xia Yu''s companies have already completed their capital deployment ahead of schedule. For example, Jiuding Bank, in order to preserve the value of its assets, has already converted most of its funds into U.S. dollars or gold futures contracts in advance, and at the same time it has also taken a lot of money to do more U.S. dollars and gold futures. Every single point increase in the offshore US dollar exchange rate and the price of gold futures contracts can create considerable floating profits for many of Xia Yu''s companies. Of course, for this opportunity, Xia Yu also informed his hard-core allies in advance and let them do their own deployment. How much money they can make depends on their personal ability, but at least assets will not shrink due to this unexpected situation. . ... July 26. When Liu Xiao and others completed their work deployment, they scattered to their respective areas. The attribution of the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas, which has stirred up Hong Kong and even the Asian film industry, finally has a clear result. The headquarters building of Golden Harvest Film Company. Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang and Liang Feng gathered together again. All the second-generation elders have a very ugly face, and even wrinkled faces still show confusion, and the whole body exudes a decadent and confused atmosphere. No wonder he, a person who dares to fight and fights, has become like this. This news really hit him too hard! For more than a month, in order to compete for the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas, Wrinkle Huai has tried his best and ran around. Even in order to be able to win these two companies to improve their strength and narrow the gap with Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas, he put down his figure and face, bowed his head to Shao Yifu, only to resolve his grievances, and let Shao Yifu put the two companies down. Sell ??it to him. But no matter what he did, he still lost in the end! Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas defeated all their competitors, and used money to destroy Shaw Brothers Films and Universal Cinemas. Among them, Galaxy Film Company bought Shaw Brothers Film Company at a price of 68 million Hong Kong dollars. Global Cinemas swallowed Shaw Cinemas at a price of 172 million Hong Kong dollars. The gap between Jiahe Films and Galaxy Films has been greatly widened, so large that Wrinkle has no hope of catching up. why? Because after annexing the Shaw Brothers Film Company, Galaxy Film Company has seven times as many talents in the film industry as Jiahe Film Company! The global cinema chain is even more so. The global cinema circuit itself is the largest cinema chain in Asia. There are 30 cinemas in Hong Kong, 188 self-operated cinemas and 102 franchised cinemas in Southeast Asia. UU¿´Êéwww. uukanshu.com is the largest theater in the island country. The Shaw Cinemas itself is the second largest cinema chain. There are 16 cinemas in Hong Kong, 132 self-operated cinemas and 82 franchised cinemas in Southeast Asia. The total number of cinemas covered by the cinema chain is 200. Thirty! After the Universal Cinemas annexed the Shaw Cinemas, there will be 46 self-operated cinemas in Hong Kong, more than half of the total number of Hong Kong cinemas! In Southeast Asia, it has reached a terrifying 320 self-operated movie theaters and 184 franchised movie theaters, covering a total of 504 movie theaters! Absolute Big Mac and Domination! What about Golden Harvest Cinemas? There are only 19 poor movie theaters in Xiangjiang, and there are only seven that really belong to Jiahe Film Company, and the remaining 12 are joined. In Southeast Asia, there are only 21 self-operated cinemas on the Jiahe Cinemas line, plus the 82 cinemas that have joined, and there are only 103, which is equivalent to about one-fifth of the global cinema line. This gap is like a chasm, which cannot be caught up by Jiahe Films. Moreover, it is completely conceivable that in the face of the glorious trend of Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas, those small and medium-sized film companies will flock to Universal Cinemas and Galaxy Films like moths to the fire. After all, these two companies hold other Talents and theaters needed by small and medium film companies. "Next, it''s the age of Galaxy Films..." "Hey¡­¡­" Wrinkle sighed, as if he was ten years old. He Guanchang and Liang Feng looked at their wrinkled arms without fighting spirit, they looked at each other, and there was a deep sense of worry in their eyes... PS: The second one is sent, asking for a new week''s recommended ticket! Thank you! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1143: The crisis broke out! He Guanchang frowned when he saw the wrinkle bosom seemingly stubborn and completely collapsed. He picked up his mood and shouted loudly: "Old wrinkle!" Wrinkle woke up, looked at He Guanchang, who was serious and solemn, and asked, "Old Ho, what''s wrong?" He Guanchang did not change his face and said loudly: "You have to cheer up, you are the backbone of the company. If you lose your spirit to fight, the company will be over!" "The Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinemas are very powerful. The gap between our Golden Harvest and them is very large, but this is not the reason for us to completely admit defeat!" "The film market in Xiangjiang and Asia is large enough, and Galaxy Films can''t eat all of it. We still have a chance, but we can''t make money as easily as before." "Think about it, now our Jiahe Film Company is still the second child, what about other smaller companies? Wouldn''t they just withdraw from the film market?" "We have been in the film industry for most of our lives. What can we do without this industry?" "And you think about it twelve years ago, when the Shaw Brothers Film Company was not the only one?" "You have the courage to pull me and Lao Liang to work together, rise step by step from scratch, and even put the Shaw Brothers film company underneath. We do not lack the spirit of fighting against adversity!" "Now the company is making money, and you and I have a good family background, but we must not forget our original intentions and lose our most precious wealth!" He Guanchang''s words shook the ears, making Wrinkles stunned on the spot. After a long time, Wrinkle''s complexion returned to his senses, looking at He Guanchang, whose eyes were like torches, and then at Liang Feng, whose eyes were sincere and full of encouragement. He took a deep breath, nodded his head and said, "Old Ho, you are right in your lesson. After too many comfortable days, I have gradually forgotten the fighting spirit of never giving up and fighting stubbornly." "I was wrong, sorry!" He Guanchang smiled, stretched out his hand to Wrinkle, and said: "Old Wrinkle, we are now taking it as a second venture, and the Galaxy Film Company is going strong, but the movie is not only based on publicity and capital. If you make a big hit movie with money, you can also make a classic in the future!" "Our goal is to surpass Galaxy Film Company!" "work together!" "Work hard together!" Wrinkle was surging, and his palm was tightly held with He Guanchang''s hand. "Of course I can''t be without me and work hard together!" Liang Feng''s hand was also shook, and the three hands were tightly held together, like a torch, burning a raging fighting spirit. "Hahaha..." After the laughter, the negative mental state of the three of them was wiped out, and they exuded hard work and energy. "Old He, let''s analyze it now and re-formulate the company''s development strategy, and everyone will brainstorm." "it is good." ... Two days later, Jiahe Film Company held a press conference and unobtrusively announced a series of strategic development plans. Wrinkles were chattering on the podium, showing the tycoon''s aura. When faced with the reporter''s venomous questions, Wrinkle had a degree of advancing and retreating. In his words, he expressed his affirmation and praise for the Galaxy Film Company and Global Cinemas, and also demonstrated his and Jiahe''s determination to never admit defeat and dare to catch up. After the news spread, it caused heated discussions, with both positive and negative comments. However, it is undeniable that the press conference held by Wrinkle Huai has played a role in stabilizing the military spirit of the film market. At least the panic in the industry has dissipated a lot. And Wu Siyuan is also happy to see the attitude of Jiahe Film Company, the attitude of wrinkles, at least it can alert the company''s employees and also facilitate him to manage the company. In the hustle and bustle, the time came to August 1. On this day, the Fed raised interest rates on time. The response of the capital market has always been the fastest. After the Fed''s interest rate hike policy was officially implemented, the US stock market began to rise. At the same time, the dollar continued to strengthen and appreciate. However, the Galaxy Fund continues to lose money. Except for the Li De team''s long US dollar exchange rate, which saw a floating profit of more than 60 million US dollars that day, the other seven teams have more or less floating losses. At the beginning, Tang Yong, the team that shorted the banks involved in the United States and Canada, had the most floating losses, and the floating losses reached more than 80 million US dollars. Overall, the floating loss that day reached more than 90 million US dollars, close to 100 million US dollars! Not only that, as the impact of the Fed''s interest rate hike continues to ferment and global funds continue to flow into the United States, the loss of the Galaxy Fund will be even greater. But this is not without benefits. That is, as the U.S. stock market rose sharply and the U.S. dollar appreciated, Tang Yong''s team made another leap in shorting the large banks in the United States and Canada. On August 2, the floating loss of the Galaxy Fund expanded to more than $230 million. On August 3, the Galaxy Fund''s floating loss expanded to more than 360 million US dollars. On August 4, the Galaxy Fund''s floating loss suddenly exceeded US$500 million, reaching more than US$520 million. On August 5, the Galaxy Fund''s floating loss reached more than 690 million US dollars, which is close to 700 million US dollars! The pressure on the major teams within Galaxy Fund is increasing. Fortunately, Liu Xiao, Wang Gang and others firmly believe that the boss¡¯s judgment cannot be wrong, and they believe in Xia Yu to constantly stabilize the military spirit of each team and implement the plan firmly as always. But Xia Yu was unmoved, and even looked forward to it more and more. Soon, coming soon! Wait until August 6th! At 10 o''clock in the morning, the Mexican government suddenly announced that due to a variety of reasons, it was short of fiscal funds and could not perform the debt service of the 87 billion US dollars of foreign debt burdened by the government as agreed! After the news broke, the entire Mexican financial market was instantly chaotic. The heads of branches of major banks in Mexico immediately reported the news to the country, and at the same time asked the Mexican government for explanations. Messed up! The entire northwestern Shanxi turned into a pot of porridge instantly! Eighty-seven billion U.S. dollars of debt actually defaulted, and Mexico, one of the leaders in Latin America, defaulted! The major lending banks in Europe and the United States were terrified and all convened personnel to discuss emergency plans. Major media around the world are also following the news. If there are news gathering sites in Mexico, they will immediately let them gather news, while those without news gathering sites will send a team of editing and editing to Mexico. At the same time, the capital market hastened to respond. The most volatile was the Mexican peso and the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Mexican peso plunged instantly. This in turn triggered a plunge in the Mexican stock market. Both the Liu Xiao team and the Ma Kai team were filled with excitement. As for banks involved in lending to Mexico, as long as they are listed, their share prices have plummeted, and institutions have fled. In particular, the leading Citibank, in just one hour, wiped out the market value that had risen in the past five days. The market value has evaporated by US$800 million, and it is still declining. The global financial industry is getting nervous. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1144: Ice and Fire 2 "Patter!" "Ring Ling Ling..." The headquarters of Heung Kong Galaxy Fund. Xia Yu just hung up the phone, and after a two-second pause, the phone rang quickly again. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu answered the phone directly: "Hey, how is the situation?" "..." "I see, pay attention to concealment, pay attention to the market situation at any time, must not be careless, report to me as soon as there are special circumstances!" "Patter!" Xia Yu said concisely, after speaking clearly, he hung up the phone decisively. After answering the eight calls, Xia Yu got up from the chair in front of the desk and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, considering that there should be no calls for the time being, looking at the tall buildings and the blue sky in the distance. He only felt very happy. ! With the Mexican government disregarding the country¡¯s credibility and voluntarily announcing a default of 87 billion US dollars in debt, the final risk of his plan has finally disappeared and it is fully on track. The loss-making team no longer loses money, and fills the floating loss extremely quickly, and then the floating profit rises all the way. As other international capital rushed into various markets, the floating profits of the Galaxy Fund, which had been deployed early, rose further. It''s like the Mexican peso and the Mexican stock market. The dumping of Mexican pesos and Mexican stocks by international capital accelerated their plunge. As a short seller, the Galaxy Fund naturally hopes that the Mexican peso and the Mexican stock market fall as low as possible. Other companies wanted to short the Mexican peso, but it was too late to enter. But international capital is not a fool. Since the Mexican government dares to default, the risk of default in other Latin American countries will increase indefinitely. Therefore, even if Brazil, Colombia, Peru and other countries have not defaulted, the stock markets and currencies of these countries have begun to fall. At best, the decline is not as large as Mexico''s. But as long as these countries follow the trend and default, then the plunge will only happen sooner or later. ... London, England. Lloyds Bank immediately called all directors to convene an interim board of directors after receiving news of Mexico¡¯s sovereign debt default. At the meeting, many directors breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Lloyds Bank did not hold Mexico¡¯s sovereign debt, and that it only held Brazil¡¯s sovereign debt of less than 50 million pounds. Fortunately, there is no sovereign debt of the Mexican government. Fortunately, the sovereign debt to Latin America and other countries is only less than 50 million pounds, even if it really loses, it will not lose much. After lingering fears, Duke Carter Howard, who strongly proposed to sell the sovereign debt of Latin America at the time, became the focus of the entire venue, and everyone was lamenting his foresight. "Sir Carter, thanks to you, before thinking about it, our Lloyds Bank is the bank with the largest number of loans in the UK to developing countries in Latin America!" "If there were no strong demands from you and convinced us one by one, then the $2.2 billion debt to Mexico at that time would be enough to cost Lloyds Bank a heavy loss!" Duke Carter Howard''s good friend, Duke Porter Philip Cavendish said with deep emotion. "Yes, no matter whether the remaining Brazilian government''s sovereign debt can be transferred, even if the Brazilian government defaults, we will only suffer a slight loss. This year the bank will also be profitable." Duke Somes Churchill nodded in agreement, with a relaxed smile on his face. Duke Carter Howard was not complacent, but said with a faint smile: "If it weren''t for everyone to support my view that seemed ridiculous at the time, I would not be able to do it this way." "So this is everyone''s common contribution!" "Hahaha..." Everyone smiled, and suddenly a director said abruptly: ¡°Most of our banks¡¯ sovereign debts to Latin America and other countries have been taken over by Barclays Bank, and Barclays Bank has taken over a large number of sovereign debts, and now it has become Latin American and other countries. The country¡¯s largest creditor, I think the Rohill family must be crazy now." After everyone was silent for a while, more heated discussions suddenly sounded in the conference room. "The Rohill family is rampant in the financial market. Before, they thought about using sovereign debt to Latin America and other countries to accelerate the family''s rejuvenation. Now... hehe..." "I have to talk to Evelyn Roshir later when I go back and ask him what he is feeling now, huh..." "Barclays Bank holds more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in sovereign debt. After the news spreads, Barclays Bank¡¯s shares may become junk stocks. It¡¯s a pity that with the strength of the Rothier family, it is not necessary to want Barclays Bank to go bankrupt. It''s possible, what a pity..." "What''s a pity, at least temporarily interrupting the momentum of the Roshir family''s revival, and can greatly consume the Roshir family''s funds, and then when the government privatizes state-owned enterprises, the threat of the Roshir family will be greatly reduced. , Our chances are even greater." "Yes..." In fact, the major shareholders and directors of Lloyds Bank are the staunch royalists of the United Kingdom, and they are the powerful faction in the old family. The competition with the Rohill family is far greater than the partnership. Even if there is a cooperative relationship, it is just ordinary cooperation in a certain field. Therefore, for them, the loss of the strength of the Roshir family is no better thing! In addition, the strength of Barclays Bank is still higher than that of Lloyds Bank. The competition between the two is very fierce. Now that the strength of Barclays Bank is greatly damaged, then a part of the market vacated by Barclays Bank must belong to Lloyd Bank~www .novelhall.com ~ The value that these markets can create is much greater than Brazil¡¯s sovereign debt of less than ¡ê50 million. Overall, in the face of crisis, Lloyds Bank will get better and better. There are two flowers and one branch each. Just as Duke Carter Howard and others thought. At this time, the Rohill family was being enveloped by a heavy atmosphere. After Evelyn Rohill asked the people to stabilize Barclays Bank, he rushed back to the family and discussed countermeasures with the tribe. "Evelyn, has the Barclays Bank''s sovereign debt to Mexico been calculated?" Jacob Rohill looked gloomy and asked in a deep voice. Evelyn Rohill sighed and said truthfully: "The sovereign debt of Mexico we hold in our hands has reached more than 4.230 billion U.S. dollars, of which more than 650 million principal and interest were on August 16. To expire." "In addition to Mexico, we have 9.45 billion US dollars in sovereign debt to Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and other countries." "We hold a total of more than 13.68 billion US dollars in sovereign debt of all countries in Latin America." "Of course, our bank also lends approximately US$4.4 billion to companies in Latin America and other countries, including approximately US$650 million in loans to companies in Mexico." "Now that the Mexican stock market has plummeted, and the Mexican peso has plummeted, the risk of this $650 million loan is also very high." "Hey¡­¡­" After speaking, Evelyn Jacobs let out a long sigh, his face full of sadness. PS: The meeting is open until ten o''clock, two hours, and two chapters can be written, which is not bad. Don¡¯t be too short. There is really no way to work too much. I saved two more. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1145: Profit skyrocketing At this time, Leopold Roshir said suddenly and solemnly: "Mexico is one of the economic leaders in Latin America. Now that Mexico is actively defaulting, then other countries are likely to follow." "After all, the debts of countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and Peru are also very alarming." "Once these countries also follow the initiative to default, then the sovereign debt of more than 13.68 billion held by our banks will be in crisis, and Latin America will also experience an economic crisis as a result, and may even spread to the world. "Our bank has also lent more than 10 billion U.S. dollars to many companies in Latin America." "If this adds up to more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in debt, there will be problems, then our bank will face a crisis of bankruptcy and reorganization!" "I am worried that after the news is exposed, it will cause a huge panic in the country. If there is another run, then..." Speaking of this, Leopold Roshir really couldn''t say anything. He couldn''t imagine how much pressure and trouble their family would face if that picture really appeared. Jacob Rohill looked gloomy. He was silent for a long time and slowly said: "I know what you said, Mexico has defaulted, so the probability of default in Latin America and other countries exceeds 90%." "Once they breach the contract, the initiative is entirely in their hands. Instead, it is our banks that should panic. When the time comes, they will make excessive conditions, and we have to consider carefully." "So now, we must prepare for the worst!" Evelyn Lowhill quickly said: "Jacob, you are right, we must plan for the worst, and we have to unite with other big banks, and even let the government come forward to suppress Latin American countries for us. " Jacob Rohill nodded slightly and added: "Now it is possible that the biggest crisis of the family after World War II will erupt this time. We must mobilize all the family funds to prevent risks." "Evelyn, you are in charge of the British side, and I will notify the others one by one." Evelyn Roshere solemnly nodded and replied: "Okay, don''t worry, I will try my best to gather funds." Jacob Rosier looked at Leopold Rosier again, and said: "Leobold, Evelyn¡¯s work is relatively cumbersome, and I can¡¯t get away for the time being, so you can contact the major European claims. bank." "As for America..." "I will call in person. I think that Rockefeller and Morgan did not expect Mexico to dare to do this for this crisis, and they must be thinking of ways now..." "Otherwise, once Mexico is passively allowed to default, Brazil and Argentina will also follow the default. If it is not handled properly, the entire financial system of the United States will be wiped out..." ... After the urgent discussion, the Roshir family began to take action. Although the Rohill family is rivals to the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family. But in the debt to Latin America and other countries, in fact, the large and small banks in Europe, America and other countries are all on the same boat, and they have long been inseparable. Take the most obvious example, such as Citibank. When lending to Latin American countries, at least US$20 billion of Citibank¡¯s more than US$50 billion in cross-border loans were lent to sovereign countries, and the remaining funds were lent to government or private borrowers engaged in commercial activities. . Large banks such as Citibank have always been known to be strict in lending reviews, so they play a role as a trend in the banking field. If the Mexican government needs a loan of 5 billion US dollars, it will usually find a big bank, such as Citibank, as long as Citibank promises to lend 1 billion or 2 billion US dollars. Then the remaining small and medium-sized banks will rush to divide up these loans. And there is no doubt that Citibank¡¯s ability to resist risks must be stronger than those of small and medium-sized banks. Once a crisis occurs, Citibank may be able to carry it through, but a large number of small and medium-sized banks will definitely go bankrupt. These small and medium-sized banks went bankrupt, and the impact was also extremely bad, severely damaging the foundation of the banking industry, and in turn triggered a crisis in the entire banking system. Citibank was absolutely unable to escape, and even caught fire due to the extremely large amount of loans. Almost all people in the financial industry are smart people. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, they took action. Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Donald Reagan, President of Citibank, President of Chase Manhattan Bank, President of Merrill Lynch... a large number of financial giants gathered together urgently to discuss countermeasures. After the end of August 6, no proper measures were negotiated. The bad influence of Mexico''s sovereign debt default has further fermented. Although the paper media cannot report in time, television stations in various countries have already reported the relevant situation. The general public in various countries began to worry. Although TV stations have stated that the government will definitely come forward to solve the problem properly, there are still many prudent people who rush to the bank with a bank card. They want to withdraw the money to be more secure. For a time, the pressure on the lending banks involved increased sharply. Under the general trend of rising US stocks and appreciation of the US dollar, the share prices of US listed banks have bucked the trend and plummeted. But this is exactly what Xia Yu wants to see. At the end of August 6, Xia Yu had received transcripts from eight teams. Tang Yong''s team made a floating profit of more than $220 million. Xue He''s team has a floating profit of more than 210 million US dollars. Song Yang''s team made a profit of more than 170 million US dollars. Li De''s team has a floating profit of more than 180 million US dollars. Liu Xiao''s team made a profit of more than 190 million US dollars. ... Liu Wei''s team has a floating profit of more than 80 million US dollars. The total floating profit of the eight teams has reached more than US$1.63 billion! If you add in the previous US$700 million in losses of the entire Galaxy Fund, it is equivalent to a gain of more than US$1.96 billion on this day. It''s really scary! On the phone, Xia Yu also felt the excitement of each team. However, he remained calm and encouraged the teams to keep calm after a while to maximize the results. In the next few days, the bad effects of Mexico¡¯s sovereign debt default became more and more serious. After media reports from all over the world, it became almost universally known. Of course, Xia Yu¡¯s media empire was indispensable behind this. However, under the current circumstances, it is normal for the media to scramble to report relevant news. Therefore, it did not arouse suspicion from others. On the contrary, because of various sophisticated news, the media controlled by the Jiuding Consortium has a tendency to stand out. , The sales of many newspapers have risen, and the ratings of television stations have also risen. On August 7, the total floating profit of Galaxy Fund reached more than 2.55 billion US dollars. On August 8, the total floating profit of the Galaxy Fund reached more than US$3.63 billion. It''s August 9th. While commercial banks and governments in Europe and the United States have not yet discussed a proper solution to the problem of Mexico¡¯s sovereign debt default, another country has declared its inability to repay the debt despite the obstruction of Europe and the United States. Eleven o''clock in the morning. The Minister of Finance of Argentina held a press conference and announced in front of everyone that Argentina was unable to repay the principal and interest of the US$43.6 billion in sovereign debt, in front of everyone, but Argentina will definitely try its best... No one paid attention to the high-sounding nonsense that the Minister of Finance of Argentina said later, and major European and American banks wailed, especially the pressure on banks that lend to Argentina. As for Argentina, after announcing its inability to repay its debts, Argentina¡¯s already volatile and declining stock and foreign exchange markets completely collapsed! PS: There is only one change today. The work is going crazy. I have to work overtime at noon and night. I have suffered from low back pain. I have a dog. I haven¡¯t taken a shower yet. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1146: Barclays crisis There are two if there are two, and three if there are two. I am afraid that someone will lead the way! Mexico is one of the leaders in Latin America. Although Argentina¡¯s domestic economy is sluggish, it cannot conceal the nature of Argentina as one of the major Latin American countries. After the two countries chose to default, although the domestic stock market and the national currency system collapsed, the pressure on them also disappeared or transferred most of the time. Ji Fei Gou jumped into Europe, America and other countries and major banks. After watching Brazil, Colombia, Peru and other countries, the governments of various countries are also ready to move. For a country, there is never a shortage of smart people. In fact, the governments of Latin America and other countries have already analyzed their respective national situations and interests very clearly. Burdened with huge debts, the national economy has actually fallen into an infinite loop. It can only be sucked step by step by countries such as Europe and the United States. In the end, the country''s financial market will also collapse. Since the financial market is about to collapse sooner or later, it is better to collapse now. At least a little bit of the initiative can be grasped, the impact can be lighter, and the debt should be put aside. In short, Latin America and other countries cannot stand the oppression and exploitation and choose to set the table upside down. Regardless of whether it is debt or debt, everything will be discussed again. As long as we unite, maybe debt can be wiped out directly... Anyway, there are only a pair of torn pants left, how bad can it go? On August 11, just as the Latin American sovereign debt crisis intensified, Brazil, the country with the strongest overall strength in Latin America, did not want to suffer anymore, and decisively jumped out to add fuel to the fire. In the morning, the Brazilian Finance Minister announced that Brazil was unable to fulfill its sovereign debt of approximately US$91.3 billion. As Brazil announced its breach of contract, European and American countries all know that things are completely irreversible! After all, the three countries of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, the total default debts have reached 222.5 billion US dollars! It accounts for 67.7% of the sovereign debt of 19 Latin American countries, which is more than two-thirds! The three countries took the lead, the general trend was irreversible, and the three countries withstood most of the pressure. Under this circumstance, the other 16 debtor countries realized that the opportunity was finally here, and one by one, regardless of the obstacles of European and American countries, rushed to declare that they could not perform. On August 12, six countries including Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Panama, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica successively announced within two hours that they were unable to perform their sovereign debts on time. On August 13, seven countries including Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Belize, Bahamas, and Guyana announced that they could not perform their sovereign debts on time. On August 14, the last three remaining countries, including Bolivia, Suriname, and Nicaragua, announced that they could not perform their national debts on time. Since Mexico took the lead in announcing default on August 6, in just nine days, all nineteen sovereign debtor countries in Latin America announced defaults, and the sovereign debt crisis broke out! The sovereign debt of 328.7 billion U.S. dollars is like an exploding ammunition depot, unscrupulously destroying the economic order in Latin America, and constantly impacting the financial order of these European and American countries. Under the investigation of the omnipotent media, the $328.7 billion debt list was published and put on the front page of newspapers in various countries. Even if the bank wanted to cover the lid, it could not cover it. On this list, the amount of loans issued by which bank and the countries to which the loans were issued are clearly written. They also arranged the order of these banks very intimately. The top spot is Citibank of the United States. Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom has the largest debt holdings in the UK, Europe, and third in the world! This list is not a glorious list, and major banks hate this list. This list clearly puts the size of the crisis facing each bank before depositors and investors. When the British people saw Barclays Bank¡¯s sovereign debt of more than $13.68 billion, panic broke out across the country. Depositors flocked to Barclays Bank, with only one purpose, to take out all the money they have in Barclays Bank, even if they only save a pound! They will never sell for the wrong investment of Barclays Bank! no way! As for the money withdrawn, the British people either put it back home in cash, or if the amount is relatively large, deposit it in other banks. So which banks should be deposited? The major British newspapers have clearly told them, and all the banks have issued statements. Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Chinese Commercial Bank, Bank of Barings and other banks do not hold even one dollar of Latin American sovereign debt. Lloyds Bank, one of the four major banks, only holds 48 million pounds of Brazilian sovereign debt, which is less than 100 million U.S. dollars! These banks can all be trusted! As for the other three of the four major banks, Barclays Bank, National Westminster Bank and HSBC, they can no longer deposit money. This is because in addition to Barclays Bank¡¯s holdings of more than $13.68 billion in sovereign debt and over 11.94 billion in Latin American corporate debt. The National Westminster Bank holds more than US$81,170 million in sovereign debt in Latin America and lends US$7.9 billion to companies in Latin America and other countries. HSBC Holdings holds more than US$6.94 billion in sovereign debt, and lends more than US$7.53 billion to companies in Latin America and other countries. How far do these three banks hide. ... On the afternoon of August 14, after the stock market closed. Evelyn Roshir dragged his exhausted body back to the family, and straightly found Jacob Roshir, Elro Roshir and others who were gathering. Seeing Evelyn Rohill back, everyone who was talking stopped immediately. "Evelyn, how is the bank?" Liszt Lowhill, who came from Vienna, Austria, immediately asked about the situation after Evelyn Lowhill sat down and took a drink. Facing everyone¡¯s gaze, Evelyn Lowhill sighed, UU Reading said bitterly: ¡°The situation is very bad. Our bank¡¯s debt situation has long been publicized. Depositors and investors Our bank has completely lost confidence and our stabilization measures have completely failed. Now every branch is crowded with people and all come to withdraw money." "How many deposits have been withdrawn?" Harry Rohill from Switzerland asked immediately. "I have all the statistics, more intuitive, let''s take a look." Just after speaking, Evelyn Lowhill suddenly realized that there are so many people here and it would be a waste of time to watch one by one. He decisively retracted the hand outstretched with the notebook, and said, "Forget it, I''ll read it all, let''s listen to it together." Everyone immediately concentrated and looked at him with scorching eyes. Evelyn Lowhill opened his notebook and read aloud: "Now the bank has total assets of 48 billion pounds, and depositors have total deposits of 42.120 billion pounds, starting from August 6. So far, ¡ê1.55 billion in savings has been lost, and the company¡¯s market value has fallen from ¡ê6.5 billion nine days ago to more than ¡ê5.52 billion." "The sovereign debt of Latin America we hold now accounts for 14.84% of the bank''s total assets." "If you add in the US$11.94 billion in debt to Latin American companies that are now listed as major risk assets, our bank''s risk assets have already accounted for 27.8%!" "Now our bank has been listed by many institutions as the most risky bank in the UK banking industry..." "As for the bank''s liquidity..." Speaking of this, Evelyn Rohill''s complexion became very ugly. This was a number that he didn''t want to face. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1147: Countermeasure "Two, three hundred and ten million pounds." As soon as this number came out, everyone couldn''t help but frown. According to the current data just mentioned by Evelyn Rohill, Barclays Bank now has total assets of 48 billion pounds. And the working capital is only 2.31 billion pounds, which is equivalent to less than 5% of the working capital. This figure is undoubtedly polar. Generally speaking, for large commercial banks in Europe and the United States, the ratio of liquidity to the total assets of the bank is best maintained between 10% and 15%. The specific amount varies with different banks. Generally speaking, the current capital holdings of commercial banks must comply with three principles. First, the principle of the appropriate amount of cash asset management. This means that the total amount of bank cash assets must be maintained at an appropriate scale. This appropriate scale refers to the amount of cash assets determined by the functions and characteristics of the bank''s cash assets under the premise of ensuring the liquidity of the bank''s business process, and the bank''s opportunity cost to maintain the cash assets is the lowest. The principle of appropriate total amount is also the most important principle of commercial bank cash asset management. Second, the principle of timely adjustment of cash assets. This means that the bank should adjust the shortfall of funds in a timely manner according to the cash flow changes in the business process to ensure the appropriate scale of cash assets. Third, the principle of safety assurance. The cash assets of commercial banks mainly consist of their deposits and cash on hand in the central bank and interbank banks. Among them, cash on hand is a necessary payment turnover fund in the business operation of commercial banks, which is distributed in various branches of the bank. In the management of cash assets, especially cash on hand, banks will inevitably improve the safety and security system and strictly enforce business operating procedures to ensure the safety of funds. To sum up the three principles, that is to make full use of bank funds while ensuring the safest possible bank operations! If the bank has too much liquidity, at the end of the year when the savings rate is extremely high, the cost of the bank will be very high, and safety is safe, but a poor operation can easily lead to bank losses. And families like the Lowhill family who have been in the banking industry for hundreds of years are undoubtedly very knowledgeable about operating banks, so they have always pursued high turnover and high profits. In addition, the Rothschild family has a big business, and it is easier to mobilize funds. Therefore, the proportion of Barclays Bank''s liquidity is less than 10%. If it is under normal circumstances, it doesn''t matter if it is less than 10%. With the prestige of the Rohill Family Consortium, it is easy to be able to revolve funds. But at this time, Barclays Bank is still facing the dilemma of continuous loss of funds, and other banks are also in a quagmire, and they will definitely not turn to Barclays Bank. Originally, the Rohill family had another financial pillar-the French Edmund Rohill Bank. But this year, it was also nationalized by the French government. Now the French Edmond Rothschild Bank is still very weak and cannot support Barclays Bank. There is only one way to go, and that is for them to find a way. The simplest and most effective is two ways. First, let Barclays sell its current assets, collect loans as much as possible, and withdraw funds from circulation. Second, the Lowhill family mobilized the liquidity of the entire family and consortium to inject it into Barclays Bank, preventing Barclays Bank from being withdrawn by depositors until the funds dries up. And Jacob Rohill summoned other branch leaders besides the American branch to come here for these two purposes. Work together to overcome difficulties together! Seeing everyone''s ugly expressions, Jacob Rohill, who was sitting on the top, finally spoke. "Everyone knows the situation. Now it has reached an extremely dangerous time. Barclays Bank is the core pillar of our family and we must do our best to keep it!" "In the past nine days, Barclays Bank has only lost 1.55 billion pounds of assets. Although a lot, we have to realize that this is already a very good situation. I know that Evelyn is trying to stabilize Those big customers have spent a lot of energy." "It can be said that 80% of the assets lost now come from ordinary depositors, otherwise it would not be so low!" "But unfortunately, what has happened in Latin America these days is something we don''t want to see. Latin America has a full-blown sovereign debt crisis." "This means that starting from today, the crisis will be upgraded a few more levels!" Hearing this, everyone nodded deeply. And Evelyn Lowhill couldn''t help saying: "Jacob is right. Since yesterday, our rate of capital loss has more than doubled from the previous month." "More than 155 million pounds in cash was lost on the 12th, and 320 million pounds in cash on the 13th. Today is not over, but more than 280 million pounds in cash has been lost." "Following this trend, I think I will go to the bank tomorrow and someone will report to me that today the bank lost 400 million pounds in cash!" "If we continue to let it go, then with the current bank''s liquidity, it will definitely not last a week and the funds will be broken!" Edward Rohill, the eldest, immediately objected: "Selling is not a solution. Now countless eyes are watching us. Once we sell assets urgently, then we are sure that there is a problem with the bank''s capital chain This will cause a huge panic. The rate at which we sell assets and withdraw funds cannot match the rate at which depositors withdraw funds." "The best way is to contain it at the source and calm the mood of depositors." Hearing this, Charles Rohill, who came from Xiangjiang, suddenly said: "I think I have a way to try." Everyone looked at him in unison. Charles Rohill took a deep breath and said: "Last year, Xiangjiang had a stock market crash and a large number of banks faced runs. Then, Jiuding Bank of Xiangjiang made an unprecedented move and visited the bank lobby with 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash." "Although this kind of action is simple, crude and vulgar, it is undeniable that the effect is particularly good. On the same day, Jiuding Bank eliminated the run crisis." "HSBC and Hang Seng Bank also imitated and eliminated the run crisis." "We can refer to it and try this method." Everyone''s eyes lit up and they began to figure out. Moments later, Evelyn Rohill, the president of Barclays Bank, shook his head and said: "This method is not suitable for us." "Xiangjiang is just a small place, not as big as London, but the population density is very high, so Jiuding Bank only needs to place funds in the headquarters, and it will soon be able to spread the news, and it is also convenient for depositors to verify." "But our banks are all over the UK. If we simply put cash in our London headquarters, even ¡ê2 billion will not eliminate the worries of depositors in other cities." "And news spreads very slowly." PS: No, I¡¯m overworked every day for the past few days. Now my whole body is trembling, my body is weak, my hands and feet are sore, my throat is hot, my fingers are trembling all the time. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1148: 4.5 billion pounds "I agree with Evelyn''s view." "Too many branches and too scattered depositors are the biggest constraints. We now only have more than two billion pounds in cash, which are actually distributed in the hands of the head office and various branches." "I think London may only have seven or eight billion pounds in cash, and other branches have an average of several million pounds, right?" Harry Lowhill spoke, looking at Evelyn Lowhill, the president of Barclays Bank. The latter nodded and said: "Yes, now the head office and branch in the city of London add up to 730 million pounds in cash. Other branches have tens of millions of pounds in cash, and the less One hundred thousand pounds in cash." At this time, Liszt Lowhill expressed his own opinion: "Everyone is right, but I think as long as the promotion is in place, it will definitely be able to achieve a certain effect. At this time, even if it can change the concept of some depositors, It¡¯s all worth doing.¡± "It''s just that we have to move fast. According to Evelyn, it is estimated that we will withdraw more than 400 million pounds a day today." "We are not only slow to mobilize funds from branches across the UK, but it can even be counterproductive if exposed." "So I suggest that if we really want to do this, we must execute it within two days, and the money cannot be taken from the bank, but we separately provide funds for Barclays Bank to borrow." "As for whether it is 500 million pounds, 1 billion pounds, or 2 billion pounds, I will wait for everyone to discuss it together." ... Seeing everyone arguing, Charles Rohill was silent. His status was the lowest and the company he controlled was also the weakest. Under normal circumstances, he was not qualified to participate in such a core family gathering. This is a rare occasion. Opportunity, he wanted to provide a plan for performance, but he didn''t expect everyone to be so controversial. That being the case, just leave it alone. He is the lowest in status and is not good at arguing with everyone. Anyway, he finally listened to Jacob Rohill. Sure enough, Jacob Rohill saw that everyone had no conclusion and time was wasted. He directly called to a halt and said: "Charles''s proposal is feasible to a certain extent. As for how effective it can be, the key depends on our propaganda. Strength, as long as it can reverse public opinion, it will definitely have an effect, and it will be a temporary delay." "The most important thing is funding. In this week, how much funds can you draw to the maximum?" Seeing that Jacob Rohill had decided, everyone died down. One after another, they raised their eyebrows to calculate how much money they could spend. Everyone knows the importance of unity, so no one intends to steal or hide their strength. They must do their best to help the family through the crisis. After a moment of silence on the scene, David Rohill said: "Jacob, now the French Edmond Rohill Bank has only been rebuilt for less than half a year, and the liquidity is indeed not long. If the bank has not been privatized, ten 100 million pounds can be taken out, but unfortunately now, I can support up to 150 million pounds." After David Rohill started, everyone else started talking. Elro Rohill said: "The situation in West Germany is much better. I can support 800 million pounds in a week. I''m not sure for the time being." Sidney Lowhill said: "Italy can provide 500 million pounds in cash within a week." Harry Rohill said: "Switzerland can provide 600 million pounds in cash." ... When everyone reported the count, Leopold Roshir kept recording, and finally came up with a huge number. ¡ê2.41 billion! This is the funds that can be mobilized with 100% certainty within a week! It is enough to show the strength of the Rohill family in Europe! Although the money may not all belong to the Rohill family, at this time, it is enough to spend money to alleviate the crisis. This is the manifestation of the ability. Others don''t need to be considered, let''s talk about getting through the difficulties. As for the way of supporting these funds, considering that Barclays Bank is a listed company and not 100% of the Rothschild family, it is definitely not a way of capital injection, but a simpler deposit or loan relationship. But these are small details and do not affect the overall situation. Evelyn Lohill''s tight face eased slightly and a smile appeared. "Excluding what will be taken away today, plus the funds that everyone can support, then the bank will be able to guarantee a minimum of 4.6 billion pounds this week." "And in the coming week, the bank will also sell some liquid assets and try to recover some loans, at least one billion pounds of funds can be recovered." "It is certain that we will be safe for the time being in the next half month!" Jacob Rohill nodded slightly: "It''s fine for the time being, and we have more time to deal with it properly." "The key behind this is to reach an agreement with other banks to work out a complete debt repayment plan as soon as possible, so that Latin America and other countries are willing to accept it while minimizing losses." "Evelyn and I will deal with this." Everyone nodded one after another, expressing no objection. Evelyn Rohill thought for a while and asked another question: "When it comes to losses, you have to mention the market value of Barclays Bank." "In nine days, the bank''s market value fell from 6.5 billion pounds before the crisis broke to 5.52 billion pounds at today''s closing, a drop of roughly one billion pounds in market value." "And it is completely predictable that after the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out, the market value of our banks will continue to shrink in the future." "We are burdened with US$13.68 billion in sovereign debt and US$11.94 billion in risky loans. The total amount of risky loans has reached US$25.62 billion. " "As long as these risky loans are not recovered in one day, then our bank''s stock price will continue to fall." "In addition, we dumped assets and recovered loans for depositors to withdraw money. This would greatly reduce our profitability. Some organizations have already thought that we will fall into a loss this year, and then downgraded our bank''s rating." "So should we control the bank stock price?" Jacob Rohill thought for a while and said: "Barclays Bank did not pledge equity, UU Reading , so the stock price does not fall, it is not harmful to us, but it will take a long time. Re-establish market confidence and brand value." "Repurchasing and increasing holdings are beneficial, but we are currently in short supply of funds, and we are not sure that we will deal with the risky loans of more than 20 billion US dollars in the future. The cost and risk of repurchasing are too high. It is unnecessary. Investors Let them sell if you want." Evelyn Rohill was silent for a moment, and nodded in a sad mood: "I see." ... After continuing discussions for twenty minutes, the countermeasures and plans have basically been discussed, including the Barclays Bank London Headquarters will use 1.5 billion pounds in cash to show its strength... Just when someone thought it was going to end. Jacob Rohill looked at Charles Rohill and asked with a serious face: "Charles, you are in Xiangjiang. You know the situation of Jiuding Consortium and Xia Yu most clearly now. After he returned to Xiangjiang from England, he did What happened?" Jiuding Consortium and Xia Yu, these are two very special vocabulary, everyone present has heard it, Harry Rosier and Liszt Rosier and others also know that Jacob Rosier and others have wanted Xia Yu and the Jiuding consortium were controlled, but the plan was finally shelved. As for the specific situation, they are not clear. On this occasion, Jacob Rohill suddenly mentioned Xia Yu and the Jiuding Consortium. Could it be related to the content of today''s rally? This speculation emerged in his mind, and everyone''s eyes were all focused on Charles Rohill, which made the latter feel a huge pressure. PS: It¡¯s just one update today. Please forgive me. I left the hospital after five in the morning and collapsed all day. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1149: Lohill family He condensed his eyebrows and recalled for a long time. After finishing the draft, he slowly said: "Xia Yu has a strong defense force, so I can''t grasp his specific whereabouts in detail. I just probably know that after he returned to Xiangjiang in May, I have not left, except for socializing, at home or in the company." "And he is very low-key, and he didn''t show up in public." "However, his company and subordinates have done a lot of things. I think it should be to implement his will." "For example, in June, Jiuding Real Estate Group publicly announced an investment of 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to build the world''s tallest building. This incident caused a great sensation." "For another example, in July, his Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinemas acquired the original HeungKong film and television hegemon, directly becoming the absolute monopoly giant in the HeungKong film market." "Of course, before he returned to Xiangjiang, the four stock exchanges of Xiangjiang completed the institutional merger. His two subordinates, Liu Tianci, president of Jiuding Bank and Wang Qi, president of Jiuding Securities, respectively, served as Xiangjiang United Securities Exchange. The chair and vice chair of the institute." "..." Charles Lowhill is telling as much detail as possible. But in fact, there is not much he can talk about, because Xia Yu is indeed very low-key. He always issues orders within the company and asks his subordinates to implement them. He rarely does it himself. Even if there are things that are done personally, they are in the company at the same time, which is very secretive. With three layers of protection including personal bodyguards, Aegis security, and a snare in the dark, excluding all suspicious persons and situations, it can be said that Xia Yu''s privacy has been protected most comprehensively. In Xiangjiang, even the KGB and MI6 don¡¯t even want to know the true situation of Xia Yu, let alone Charles Rohill who commanded the entire power of the Rohill family? However, Charles Rohill''s Xiangjiang Rohill & Sons Co., Ltd. is engaged in finance after all, so he can still know that there are relatively big movements in the financial industry. What''s more, Xia Yu''s Jiuding Financial Group is also the leader in the Xiangjiang financial market. What he was talking about was in July when he noticed that Jiuding Financial Group converted a large amount of Hong Kong dollars into US dollars. Because the U.S. dollar has been appreciating in the past two years, Jiuding Financial Group has always exchanged Hong Kong dollars for U.S. dollars, but since July, the exchange has become very aggressive. This piece of information is the only thing in Charles Rohill''s long-length paragraph that refreshed everyone. "If the information Charles said is correct, then Jiuding Financial Group must have determined that the U.S. dollar will appreciate sharply in the near future, so it will be so aggressive." "In other words, the Jiuding Consortium knew in advance that the Fed was going to raise interest rates?" "Or he knew that Latin America''s sovereign debt crisis would break out!" Harry Rohill squinted and said. Jacob Lowhill said indifferently: "Our family bank also participated in the formulation of the Fed''s interest rate hike policy. We knew in advance that it should be, but Xia Yu should not know this news." Regarding this judgment, Jacob Rosill is still very sure, because Xia Yu definitely did not enter the Fed¡¯s circle. When it comes to this kind of top conference in the global financial circle, Xia Yu is not qualified, and no one else will. tell him. "He must have judged the sovereign debt crisis of the Latin American Council!" Evelyn Rohill said with certainty. "Because Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank, and Bank of Barings do not hold even one dollar of Latin American sovereign debt." "These three banks are all related to him!" ¡°Originally, Barclays Bank also held shares in Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, but in January of this year, in order to preserve the family¡¯s license and brand of Edmond Rothschild Bank in France, we made a deal with him. The shares of these two banks were transferred to him." "Prior to this, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank held Latin American sovereign debt." "But after we withdrew, Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank transferred all the sovereign debts of Latin America, and some of them were taken over by our Barclays Bank..." After that, Evelyn Rohill was very unhappy. He knew about the sovereign debt of the United States, and he approved it. The reason was that the transfer price of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank was relatively low, which made him willing to take risks. But who knows that Latin America and other countries dare to default on their debts regardless of national credibility? He is not God, how could he anticipate such uncontrollable political factors outside of business? "How could he know that Latin America and other Congress defaulted?" "From his actions, it can be seen that his attitude is very determined, and he must be very sure!" "Or...Latin America and other countries breach of contract is he pushing behind?" Liszt Rohill looked inexplicably and said quietly. Just when other people started thinking wildly. Jacob Rohill, sitting at the top, finally said again. "You don''t have to guess at random. I have already asked people to investigate. Rockefeller and Morgan have also investigated. The default of Latin America and other countries is the subjective behavior of various countries. The Jiuding Consortium has not stretched its hands so long." Everyone frowned. Liszt Rohill said solemnly: "That means he or his team analyzed it?" Faced with the searching gazes cast by everyone, Jacob Rohill slowly nodded: "This is the only possibility." Everyone''s complexion changed. At this moment, the name Xia Yu left a deep impression in their hearts. Elro Rohill said suddenly: "Jacob, I suddenly understand why you wanted to control him before. This kind of person is terrible, and there is a great possibility that he will stand at the top of the world." "Unfortunately, he is a very cautious person with a lot of hidden power. We have set traps for him many times, but we have not caught him." Jacob Rosill said regretfully. "Now that his Jiuding consortium is stronger, and the core company has never been listed, we have no chance." "It''s hard to tell whether this time the Latin American sovereign debt crisis is a counterattack against us by taking the opportunity." Hearing this, Evelyn Rohill looked guilty and apologized: "I have to apologize to everyone. Although I doubted it, I decided to take over the sovereignty of these banks in Latin America and other countries. debt." "Otherwise, we hold up to 5 billion U.S. dollars of sovereign debt in Latin America, instead of as much as we do now, which would cause this dilemma. Yabug Lowhill comforted: "Evelyn, you don''t have to blame yourself. We have also analyzed that the sovereign debt risks of Latin America and other countries are very risky, but didn''t you think they would dare to default?" "If Latin America and other countries do not default, in fact we hold so many sovereign debts, we will definitely be able to make huge profits." Others can''t help but nod secretly, agreeing with Jacob Rohill''s words. Throughout the history of the rise of the Rohill family. Wasn''t the reason why the Rohill family was known as the "Sixth Empire" at its peak was because it relied on lending to various sovereign countries? Relying on the blood sucking on the finances of each country, the Rohill family was once able to stand on top of the world. However, because of the two world wars, he was surrounded by other boys and enemies before falling from the peak. Once Germany, Italy and other countries defaulted on Lohill Family Bank''s debt, it was also because of war. On the premise that there will be no war in Latin America and other countries, and they only occupy about 4% of the Latin American sovereign debt market, there is no way that Latin America and other countries dare to default on their own initiative. They could not think that the Rockefeller, Morgan and other families also did not expect it, so this is a black swan incident at all. "The reason why I tell you this is just to remind you that as the scale of the Jiuding Consortium gets larger and larger, the circle of activities will become smaller and smaller, and I will definitely run into you at that time." "I hope that when you contact the Jiuding Consortium and Xia Yu in the future, you must be vigilant and avoid recurring situations like the present one." "At the same time, you can also pay more attention to the Jiuding Consortium, and maybe you can get a lot of benefits from it." "Of course, if you can find the loopholes or handles of the Jiuding Consortium, you must tell me as soon as possible. For the Jiuding Consortium and Xia Yu, it is best that we can control and win, if we can¡¯t control and win , Then suppress or even destroy as much as possible." "The world''s cake is so big, one more person who participates in the cake sharing, we will definitely get even less..." "I see, Jacob, I will pay attention later." "I understand what you mean, don''t worry." ... Everyone nodded and replied. Finally, Jacob Rosier looked at Charles Rosier and exhorted: "Charles, we are far away from him after all, and we are also involved in other things. Only you are in Xiangjiang, so you have to assume the supervision. Responsibility, you are the front line guard of the family." "I know that Xia Yu''s security forces are very strong. It is difficult for you to keep an eye on his schedule, but the Jiuding Consortium always implements his orders." "You can expand more staff and set up a department specifically to keep an eye on any movement of the Jiuding Consortium. Once you find any abnormal behavior, report it as soon as possible. For example, as you just said, the large-scale exchange of dollars by Jiuding Financial Group It is actually a special piece of information that can be reported." "Do you understand it?" Charles Rohill was very heavy and nodded and said: "I understand, I will take this as the most important thing, and I will continue to do it for a long time." Jacob Rohill smiled and nodded, then looked at the others and asked: "Do you have any questions?" Seeing everyone shaking their heads, he said with a smile: "If not, we will have dinner together, and then everyone will return separately and act according to the plan just now." ... PS: It¡¯s still one shift today. Forgive me. If you don¡¯t relapse tomorrow, you will resume two shifts when you enter the hospital https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1150: Untie the political shackles Two days later, that is, August 16. In the City of London, 1.5 billion pounds of banknotes were placed in the lobby of the Barclays Bank headquarters and the BBC was invited to shoot. At noon, the news of Barclays Bank spread throughout the UK. The Rohill family mobilized all their power to carry out positive publicity, trying to increase the confidence of depositors as much as possible. Not to mention, it did play a role. Even Barclays Bank¡¯s stock price has slowed down, and the pressure on the run has also been reduced a lot. But Xia Yu has calculated for so long to pit the Roshir family, how could he sit back and watch the Roshir family get out of the crisis so easily? After receiving a phone report from George Berkeley, Xia Yu made four instructions. First, to manipulate behind the scenes and allow the dialectical analysis of other factions to continue to report, focusing on the promotion of Barclays Bank¡¯s Latin American ultra-high-risk loans as high as US$25.20 billion, accounting for 2% of the bank¡¯s total assets. At 17.8, a mere ¡ê1.5 billion in cash is equivalent to less than 12% of ultra-high-risk loans, and Barclays Bank cannot relieve the risk of bankruptcy. Second, this year¡¯s agreed quota of 2.5 billion pounds to invest in the UK, and there is still a certain gap that has not been implemented. He will inject another 1 billion US dollars into the Bright Fund. The purpose is to buy shares in Barclays Bank and try to get the least. Ten percent of the seats were sent to two directors to enter the Barclays Bank and penetrate into the enemy''s interior, allowing the Rohill family to experience the feeling of being restrained. Third, take the initiative to go short and buy the stock of HSBC Holdings. Fourth, make every effort to make positive publicity reports for Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Bank of Barings in this crisis, absorb deposits from depositors as much as possible, and seize opportunities to grow rapidly. After giving the order, Xia Yu handed over the matter to George Berkeley. He believed that George Berkeley could do these things without him worrying about it. As for Xiangjiang, Xia Yu is also maximizing his interests. One of the targets is HSBC. British HSBC Holdings is listed in the UK, while its subsidiary HSBC is listed in Hong Kong. In the previous stock market crash, Xia Yu ordered Wang Qi and Liu Tianci to cooperate with the bottom hunters to increase the shareholding of HSBC, raising the shareholding ratio to 18.6%, becoming the second only to the parent company HSBC within HSBC. The second largest shareholder of the holding. But Xia Yu is not satisfied with this. He hopes to further penetrate HSBC and even control it like Standard Chartered Bank. As the crossroads of East and West, Hong Kong is backed by the mainland. The future goal is to develop into an international financial center. Therefore, the potential market for the banking industry is huge. Although he now owns a number of banks such as Jiuding Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Lung Bank, and Sun Hung Kai Bank, he has also invested in many banks and has become the real leader of Heung Kong Banking. But this does not mean that he occupies the absolute leading market in the Hong Kong banking industry. After all, there are more than 150 licensed banks in Hong Kong alone, and many of them are branches of multinational banks. If HSBC can also be acquired under his command, then his Jiuding Consortium¡¯s market share in the Hong Kong banking industry can account for about 30 to 40%, and this market share is more suitable. After all, beginning in the 1990s, there will be a wave of bank mergers around the world, and one after another multinational banking giants will appear. Not to mention the five major lines of mainland China. Once Xiangjiang is really built into an international financial center by him, then the huge capital flow and financial market of Xiangjiang will be targeted by all banks in the world, and the competitiveness of Xiangjiang and the banking market in Southeast Asia will be very high. Therefore, Xia Yu had to take precautions and strengthen his strength in the banking sector as much as possible, so as not to lead the flourishing development of Xiangjiang, but most of the cakes he created were robbed by others. Wouldn''t it be aggrieved? ... Fortunately, this time the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America, Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was also affected. Now Hong Kong HSBC has become the vortex center of the Hong Kong banking industry. Depositors have come to withdraw money. In less than a year, HSBC once again broke out a run crisis. It''s just because Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation holds a total of US$1.83 billion in sovereign debt in Latin America and more than US$1.57 billion in loans to domestic companies in Latin America. Because Hongkong HSBC Bank is a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings, these loans are included in HSBC Holdings¡¯ debt statistics in the UK. After the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out, Wang Qi and Liu Tianci controlled the attack on HSBC behind the scenes in accordance with Xia Yu''s orders. In just ten days, the market value of HSBC has evaporated by a quarter, plummeting from HK$16.97 billion to HK$12.150 billion. The first half of the financial report released by HSBC Bank showed that HSBC''s net profit for the first half of the year was 883.2 million Hong Kong dollars. So in fact, HSBC''s P/E ratio has fallen below seven times. This price-to-earnings ratio is completely inconsistent with HSBC¡¯s current status as the second largest bank in the banking industry. Normally, HSBC¡¯s price-to-earnings ratio must be more than ten times. Although HSBC''s recurring run crisis has caused some damage to the Hong Kong financial industry, Xia Yu does not care and does not intend to stop there. Anyway, the HSBC family was caught in the run crisis this time. The major newspapers and the media had already clearly stated the reason. Except for HSBC, none of the other banks in Hong Kong were involved in the Latin American sovereign debt crisis. in. There was some chaos in the first one or two days, but it quickly subsided. Although the Hang Seng Index fell because of the sharp drop in the market value of HSBC, it was not serious, and at least it held the 1,000-point line. The Hang Seng Index plummeted to more than 600 points when the stock market crash broke out in August and September last year. After nearly a year, the Hang Seng Index has recovered very quickly. In the next few days, the stock price of HSBC continued to fall. At the close of trading on Friday, August 20, the market value was fixed at over 9.54 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the market value had shrunk by more than four stories. On August 22nd, a piece of news suddenly interrupted by "Global Satellite TV" caused a sensation in the entire Xiangjiang River, and the waves that caused it spread rapidly to the surrounding countries. Because on this day, the mainland government and the British government finally signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration! Hong Kong¡¯s sovereignty issue is settled! The British government is willing to return the Xiangjiang area to the mainland steadily on July 1, 1997. The "Statement" also clarified the mainland¡¯s basic policy guidelines for Xiangjiang. After the return of Xiangjiang, the system and lifestyle of Xiangjiang itself can be maintained for 50 years. change¡­¡­ After this news report, it can be said to have given all Xiangjiang people a reassurance. For a time, the whole world was celebrating, and the whole Xiangjiang was enveloped in a festive atmosphere. After unraveling the political shackles that entangled Xiangjiang, Xia Yu could finally dominate the rise of Xiangjiang. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:.

With the interpretation of the "Sino-British Joint Statement" by "Global Satellite TV" last night, the issue of Hong Kong''s sovereignty has become well known. And after watching the interpretation program of "Global TV", the citizens of Hong Kong have great confidence in the future of Hong Kong. Not to mention that early this morning, all major newspapers in Hong Kong, even entertainment newspapers, also reported the news of the Sino-British Joint Statement. When the stock market opened, the major capitals that had already been gearing up quickly poured into the stock market. Hong Kong stocks rose almost across the board. The Hang Seng Index soared by 88 points that day, rising from 1,043 to 1,131. This day has become a carnival day for investors, and there is endless laughter in the four major exchanges. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Take the HSBC stock. As the overall market is rising, the stock price of HSBC, which is still in a vortex, has fallen all the way, becoming a beautiful landscape. I don¡¯t know how many investors who hold HSBC¡¯s stocks screamed and listed the stocks at a lower price in the curse, hoping to get the money back to buy other selected stocks as soon as possible. After the interpretation of the financial experts hired on the "Global Satellite TV" program yesterday, investors all know that Xiangjiang will have a bright future after eliminating political risks. The current stock market does not conform to the current economic situation of Xiangjiang. So now, the sooner the car will make more money! With investors selling stocks at low prices on a large scale, HSBC''s stock price fell even more rapidly. At the close of trading on Monday afternoon, the market value of HSBC once again evaporated 1.23 billion Hong Kong dollars from the closing time of last Friday, falling to more than 8.31 billion Hong Kong dollars, which has shrunk by more than half compared to before the crisis broke out. ! I believe that it will not take long for Europe, the United States and other countries to make a solution to the Latin American sovereign debt crisis in order to buy HSBC stocks in advance. In the next few days, as public opinion continued to ferment, the Hang Seng Index rose every day. Although the rally is not as fierce as Monday, it can be regarded as extremely fast for the previous speed of snail climbing the wall. At around two o''clock in the afternoon on Wednesday, the Hang Seng Index officially broke through 1,200 points, and when the stock market closed, it closed at 1,209 points. The market value of HSBC has fallen below seven billion Hong Kong dollars, and it continues to fall. This is also normal in the eyes of investors. Although HSBC''s net profit in the first half of the year reached more than 880 million Hong Kong dollars, it does not mean that the net profit for the whole year after the second half of the year will be positive. After all, HSBC is burdened with junk sovereign debt of more than 1.83 billion U.S. dollars, plus more than 1.570 million U.S. dollars in loans to companies in Latin America and other countries, and the total has reached 3.4 billion U.S. dollars! The US$3.4 billion of risky debt is worth nearly 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is higher than HSBC¡¯s previous market value. How can the net profit of less than 900 million Hong Kong dollars in half a year compare? ... Just when Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities jointly planned for HSBC. Xia Yu''s previous acquisition targets for Universal Music Group to move towards globalization have finally been acquired. On August 26, the last acquisition target-PolyGram International Co., Ltd. equity was finally taken. The Bright Fund finally settled the West German Siemens Company, acquired a 5% stake, and increased its shareholding in PolyGram International Co., Ltd. to 35%, becoming the second second only to Philips in the Netherlands. The major shareholder, whose shareholding ratio is higher than that of West German Siemens, has the most critical veto power. Of course, during the entire process, Bright Fund also spent a total of 390 million US dollars in order to acquire 35% of the equity of Polygram International Co., Ltd. In addition, the Bright Fund¡¯s wholly-owned acquisition of British EMI Records, a giant, cost US$360 million. The wholly-owned acquisition of Viking Records cost 88 million US dollars. The wholly-owned acquisition of British Isle Records cost 35 million US dollars. The Bright Fund became the leader of the British record industry in one fell swoop, and a series of acquisitions caused a huge sensation in the UK. In the US, Polaris Capital is not bad. Peter Lynch won the RCA Group for a price of 180 million US dollars. The price of one hundred and seventy million US dollars wholly-owned acquisition of the American epic record company that owns Michael Jackson. In addition, a wholly-owned acquisition of American A& Company at a price of 110 million US dollars. The seven acquisition targets cost a total of US$1.333 billion! Although these seven companies are not integrated with Universal Music Group. But in a practical sense, Xia Yu''s musical empire has become the world''s first. When Universal Music Group can win the crown of the world''s No. 1 record group, the key depends on when Universal Music Group can fully and smoothly integrate these companies. From the current point of view, this matter is impossible to complete in a short time. However, whether these record companies can complete the integration does not affect the strategic planning of Tiangong Electronics Group. Huo Jianning can already use this list as a bargaining chip to show his name to Philips and Sony. However, before formal negotiations, we still have to show a muscle first, and then go to talk with Philips and Sony with overwhelming power. At this time, it is not a few days before September 1st, and the publicity on the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman has already been in full swing, and Walkman enthusiasts around the world have been looking forward to it. The Walkman manufacturing plant of Tiangong Electronics Group has already produced a steady stream of finished products, which are sent to all parts of the world according to the orders of distributors, and will be officially sold after the global press conference is held on September 1. September 1st. The island countries of Tokyo, New York, United States, London, United Kingdom, and Hong Kong have held grand product launches successively at 10 am local time. The new features and exquisite appearance of Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman have captured a large number of customers. Subsequently, the media empire of the Jiuding Consortium was fully launched again to make positive publicity for the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman. For a time, the sales of Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman all over the world went viral. Before September 1, after seeing the product performance, the major distributors of Tiangong Electronics Group placed orders in advance. The total order volume was as high as 457,000 units, and the total order amount was as high as 8,134 Ten thousand U.S. dollars. All of these 457,000 units were taken away before September 1. But within a week of the end of the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman''s global conference. Seeing the popularity of this Walkman, orders from distributors around the world floated like feathers. U U Reading In just one week, Tiangong Electronics Group has once again received orders for a total of 596,000 units. And the order payment of more than 100 million U.S. dollars has been fully paid, and the major distributors are afraid that the payment will slow down and the order will be placed behind. On September 8, Tiangong Electronics Group announced in a high-profile manner the order of Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman-1.053,000 units. Tiangong SP-S2 walkman has become the fastest portable player ever to reach a million orders. The total turnover is as high as $187.43 million! These data, Huo Jianning announced all brightly, shocked the entire Walkman market. This data has also caused a huge sensation in Xiangjiang. The citizens of Xiangjiang are proud of it. Xiangjiang''s electronics giant is on the top of the world. No one can be proud. Because of this sense of honor, under the guidance of the media, Jiuding Electric Mall welcomed a large number of customers who bought Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman. In addition to the published data, Huo Jianning also presented some secret data to Xia Yu for review. For example, the gross profit of the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman¡¯s millions of orders is as high as US$141 million. During Huo Jianning''s performance report, Xia Yu also learned about the total sales of Tiangong SP-S1 Walkman. Although the sales volume of this Walkman dropped sharply in August, as of July, it had reached a total sales volume of 2 million units, which is considered complete. With the splendid Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman taking over, Tiangong Electronics Group will still be invincible in the coming year. PS: The second one is here. Unknowingly, it''s twelve o''clock again. Helpless, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1152: Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission Since September, Xia Yu has become more and more busy. Although there are many shrewd and capable subordinates who share his worries for him, many things still need him to personally manage. For example, the reform of the Hong Kong financial system, the opening of the United Stock Exchange, the opening of the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange and the preparation of futures commodities, the hunting plan of the Galaxy Fund... Fortunately, the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, which has most affected his energy, has erupted for more than a month. In addition to the small problems of the eight teams of the Galaxy Fund at the beginning, after a period of running-in, all eight teams are in full swing. Especially after entering September, there were no problems that Xia Yu reported to Xia Yu to deal with, and the operation went smoothly. As a result, Xia Yu also put out more energy to follow up other things. This morning, Xia Yu summoned Liu Tianci and Wang Qi to his office, with Huo Jianning listening. Xia Yu took the initiative to inquire about the acquisition of Hong Kong HSBC Bank. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. operated by Wang Qi is the main executive, so Wang Qi stood up and reported to Xia Yu. "Chairman, under our successive offensives, HSBC''s stock price quickly passed a period of plunge. Now the stock price has entered the second stage of decline. It is in a steady decline stage, and the daily market value evaporated is only 10 million Hong Kong dollars Around, there is not much room to fall." "Before I came, the market value of HSBC was around 4.95 billion Hong Kong dollars." "When we had a market value of 5.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, we were already buying at the bottom." "Now we have secretly increased the shareholding of HSBC from 18.6% to 39.7%." "It is about to reach the top now, because in addition to the 54.7% of the shares held by the parent company HSBC Holdings, the remaining 5.6% of the shares are scattered." "Our maneuverable space is no longer large, and the amount of stocks we buy every day is relatively small." After listening to Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu nodded slightly and praised: "You have done a good job, and it''s a good idea to buy some loose stocks later." "As for HSBC Holdings, I will deal with it. There will be a result this year." Wang Qi and Liu Tianci both heard Xia Yu''s potential meaning. They looked at each other and did not dare to ask more. They nodded and responded in unison: "Okay." "The United Stock Exchange is almost finished, right?" Xia Yu asked again. Liu Tianci immediately replied: "Chairman, it''s almost there, the trading floor has been completely renovated, and all the machines and hardware facilities have been installed." "Management rules and transaction regulations have all been made." "Now, it is still in the internal simulation operation step. If all goes well, it is planned to officially open to the outside world on October 11 and permanently close the existing four stock exchanges." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, and he said, "It seems that it is less than a month away." "Yes." Liu Tianci nodded and replied. "The reason why it has been delayed until now is not entirely because of the need to simulate operations, mainly because the Hong Kong government has not yet completed the plan." "The new "Securities Exchange Law" is already in the process, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission is also being formed. The management regulations and trading rules of our exchange are consistent with the new "Securities Exchange Law." "Before the new "Securities Exchange Law" is formally implemented, our unified stock exchange cannot be activated, otherwise it will conflict with the current "Securities Exchange Law." After Liu Tianci explained, Xia Yu suddenly understood. However, he does not pay attention to the new "Securities Exchange Law". What he values ??is the upcoming establishment of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. After he proposed to the Governor of Hong Kong, Liu Tianci, Wang Qi and others are responsible for follow-up of this key organization. That''s right, Xiangjiang does not have a real SFC now! The Securities and Commodity Exchange Supervision Commission and the Securities and Commodity Exchange Administrative Commission of the Hong Kong Government have been performing similar functions, both of which are part-time government departments! These two committees have many problems, and the authority is not large enough. Although they can play a certain management role on the HeungKong Capital Market, there are many problems. The SFC established this time is a statutory organization independent of government departments, and its full name is the "Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission"! The chairman and staff of the China Securities Regulatory Commission are held by full-time professional supervisors, and the funds are mainly borne by the market. In addition, the newly established Securities Regulatory Commission will obtain many powers that originally belonged to the Monetary Authority. The most basic is the power to issue licenses. Licenses for securities trading, futures contract trading, leveraged foreign exchange trading, advice on securities, advice on institutional financing, investment banking services, securities assurance finance, asset management, credit rating services, etc. will all be issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission! These are the fundamental and lifeblood of financial institutions! "Has the personnel of the management agency of the China Securities Regulatory Commission been confirmed?" Xia Yu''s face was slightly solemn, and asked Liu Tianci. Before this incident, he also entrusted Liu Tianci to follow up when the Heung Kong United Stock Exchange was formed, and granted him the qualification to use consortium resources to make decisions at critical moments, so Liu Tianci must know the situation best~www.novelhall. com~ Liu Tianci thought for a while and said: "Chairman, the SFC has a great influence and a huge scale. So since the Hong Kong government ordered the establishment, countless people want to intervene, but you can rest assured that we Occupy a pioneering and leading position." "Now that most of the personnel have been identified, the top level has been determined, one chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and four vice-chairmen, plus an assistant to the chairman." "Among them, the Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Li Zhiheng, Vice Chairman Wang Jiangqiu and Gao Song, and Chairman Assistant Liu Yaxiong, these four people are our people, and the remaining two vice-chairmen who are not ours are Dennis Kevin and Ye Qingyun." "As for the seven institutions under its jurisdiction, the Academic Review Advisory Committee, the Investment Trust Fund Committee, the Public Shareholders¡¯ Equity Committee, the Exchange Listing Committee, the Share Registrar Disciplinary Committee, the Takeover and Merger Committee, and the Takeover Appeals Committee, each institution has The people who have us are all in key positions. As for the potential candidates for succession, we have also selected all of them..." As Liu Tianci spoke, Xia Yu''s face gradually showed a smile. "Yes, you did a good job." "After the establishment of the Securities Regulatory Commission, you will bring some people over for me to see." Liu Tianci nodded and said, "Okay." "..." After chatting with Liu Tianci and Wang Qi for a while, confirming that there was nothing wrong, Xia Yu asked them to go back. After the two left, Xia Yu looked at Huo Jianning and asked with a faint smile: "Jianning, how far is the new standard of CDs?" PS: I have been on duty for these two days. There are a lot of things and some kavin. I only finished writing a chapter when I got a little too much. I will start a chapter tonight. Please forgive me. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1153: Tiangong Electronics VS Atari "Chairman, I have sent two teams to Philips and Sony respectively, and brought our CD samples and invitation letters. The two companies should be doing performance testing now." "In the invitation letter, it is clear that the meeting time is September 15th and the venue is in Xiangjiang." "As long as we can see the performance of our discs, the two companies will definitely send the project leader over to negotiate in a few days." "Now we have done the preparations for the negotiation." Huo Jianning looked respectful and reported the situation truthfully. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, let me know the result of the negotiation in a few days." "By the way, don''t forget to send someone to familiarize yourself with the newly acquired record company, and the CD recording equipment should be produced in advance." "Regardless of whether Philips or Sony is low or low, our standards must be promoted. If the big deal is the case, we will fight a battle. You must have this confidence!" Huo Jianning''s eyes were slightly bright, and he raised his volume a little and said, "Yes!" "If there is nothing wrong, then go ahead and work." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked down at the file on the desktop. Huo Jianning hesitated for a moment, still felt that this matter should be discussed with Xia Yu. "Chairman, there is something I want to report to you. It has to do with MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, and he looked up at Huo Jianning again, and asked with interest: "Is it about the "Alien E¡¤T" movie?" Huo Jianning nodded, and after arranging his thoughts, he said: "Yes, more precisely the game copyright of "Alien E¡¤T"." Xia Yu smiled slightly and looked at Huo Jianning quietly, motioning him to continue talking. The latter said in detail: "Chairman, now the "Alien E¡¤T" movie is popular all over the world, and it has caused a huge sensation in the world, especially in developed countries in Europe and America. It can be said that everyone knows it." "Just the day before yesterday, Manager Wu Siyuan, out of good intentions, suddenly called me, saying that Atari in the United States had contacted MGM Pictures and had a strong desire to buy "Alien E¡¤T" Home game development copyright." "Manager Wu Siyuan considered that Atari is the biggest competitor of Tiangong Electronics, and is afraid that the sale of copyright will have a huge impact on Tiangong Electronics, so he told me about this and asked about my attitude." Speaking of this, Huo Jianning didn''t say anything any more, just express the meaning clearly. In fact, he can tell Xia Yu about this matter. After all, the purpose of cooperation between brother companies is to make more profits for the boss. But his character is more cautious and careful. When he learned that "Alien E¡¤T" was the chairman of Xia Yu in the United States, he personally talked to Steven Spielberg and served as MGM Pictures. After the success of the company''s rise and the pioneering work of Galaxy Film, he was afraid that the chairman had any strategic plans for this, so after thinking about it, he felt that he should inform the chairman and listen to his opinions. If the chairman does not plan, it is better to directly agree. Anyway, it''s just a matter of saying more, it''s safer to mention it. After listening to Huo Jianning''s narration, Xia Yu''s memory seemed to be stimulated. His knuckles hit the tabletop and fell into contemplation. Huo Jianning''s heart was tight, and then he was thankful that he had told the chairman of the matter and did not take the plunge and did it directly. He took a deep breath and kept watching Xia Yu patiently and quietly, waiting for the following. After a long time, Xia Yu recovered. Just when Huo Jianning thought Xia Yu would make a statement, Xia Yu asked a question: "Jianning, I remember the last time I visited the laboratory, you told me that the current home game console market, Atari, is the No. 1 company in the United States. Tiangong Electronics is second, right?" Huo Jianning nodded and said: "Yes, since we launched the first home game console TG-MasterSystem in December 1981, relying on our popular games around the world, we quickly rushed to the second place in the market. Bit." "You don''t know, as of this month, our global sales of this home game console has reached more than 8.6 million units, ranking second in the world, second only to the Atari 2600 console." Xia Yu showed a smile and praised: "Has it exceeded 8 million units? Not bad." Last time in the Tiangong Technology Laboratory, Huo Jianning led him to visit the most important pillar of Tiangong Electronics-the game department. At that time, in addition to being the world''s number one arcade department, the home console market that entered later also achieved the second place in the world, surpassing the island Nintendo, Fairchild Semiconductor, Mattel, Philips, and NEC. Waiting for many players, the global sales volume of TG-System game consoles at that time was less than 8 million units, and it rushed to the current sales in just a few months. At that time, Xia Yu also specifically asked Huo Jianning and learned that this TG-MasterSystem game console was developed by Tiangong Electronics and Shijiao Sega at that time. The research and development strength mainly came from Shijia Sega. But who made Tiangong Electronics the parent company, so the game console developed under the name of TG, and Sega also used TG-MasterSystem when making games. So in fact, the TG-MasterSystem game console is the largest platform in the home game console market in the island country. It surpasses Nintendo¡¯s CTVG6 and CTVG15. Many game makers make game cartridges based on the TG-MasterSystem game console. The younger brother of Electronics and Sega. Of course, the most important thing is that Tiangong Electronics itself has a lot of fun arcade games. After transplanting from arcade machines to home game consoles, it is still invincible in the market and quickly grabbed the blockbuster market. The key reason why Atari 2600 game console is popular all over the world is arcade games. In 1979, the annual sales of Atari 2600 game consoles were only more than three million units. But in January 1980, relying on "Space Invaders", a game transplanted from the arcade, the console sales exceeded 7 million units that year, and the game cassettes of "Space Invaders" also sold more than 2 million. Zhang. Then Atari will continue to transplant excellent arcade games to its own home consoles, so last year''s global sales will reach an astonishing 11 million units. Of course, after Tiangong Electronics transplanted several arcade games to Atari 2600 at the beginning, Huo Jianning decisively stopped the cooperation and developed his own home game console, and then relied on his own excellent games to catch up with Atari. It is precisely because of Tiangong Electronics'' world-leading strength in the arcade market that Atari also regards Tiangong Electronics as its biggest competitor. The key lies in the influential boutique games. Closer to home. When visiting the Tiangong Technology Laboratory at that time, Xia Yu also saw the second-generation TG-MasterSystem game console under development. In addition to understanding the situation at that time, he also made a few very good suggestions, which is based on the sweeping global Nintendo¡¯s NFC game console came to the suggestion. Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked again: "Jianning, has the second-generation Tiangong master system game console been developed?" Huo Jianning nodded: "It has been developed and is now being fully optimized. According to the plan, it will be introduced to the market before Christmas this year." "Is there a lack of matching new games?" Xia Yu continued to ask. Huo Jianning shook his head and said: "There is no shortage of new games. We have prepared five new games with different styles. In addition to this, our ace "Super Mario", "China Cube", "Tank Battle", etc. have also been redesigned. With the new levels, the game quality has also been optimized." Xia Yu immediately understood, and said with a faint smile: "That is to say, even if there is no "Alien E¡¤T" game of the same name, you still have the confidence to market it?" How could Huo Jianning not understand this time? He sighed in his heart, then answered honestly: "Yes, Chairman." Xia Yu smiled and asked another question that made Huo Jianning difficult to answer: "Jianning, Atari is still the number one in the global home game console market. How long do you think it will take for Tiangong Electronics to surpass it? " Huo Jianning contemplated for a long time and said: "Chairman, this is difficult to say. The key is not with us, but with Atari." "We have a rapid rise in the home game console market, and are now rapidly closing the gap with Atari, putting a lot of pressure on Atari." "But starting this year, in response to pressure from us and other competitors, Atari has released game cassettes very quickly. For example, in June, the Atari 2600 console platform had more than 100 games. , But now there are more than two hundred titles. UU Reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com is almost equivalent to publishing two games a day, which is very scary." "But we have been analyzing and found that the quality of Atari''s games can only be regarded as the average low-to-average level. It is mainly based on the volume to win, relying on the huge number of games to screen out excellent games. I''m deceiving consumers'' money." "So in fact, the chasers behind us are jointly oppressing Atari, hoping that it will make mistakes on its own and completely drain the patience of consumers." "If we are to give ourselves an estimate based on the current situation, we conservatively estimate that we can surpass Atari in three years and become the number one in the world." "Of course, if there is a game company in the middle of the world that produces a popular game, it may also surpass us just like we surpassed Taidong Company before. If Atari is lost and knows how to return, relying on its current market position, it will continue to be the dominant player. The status is hard to say." "However, we are not without measures. In order to defeat Atari as soon as possible, we are ready to rely on the second-generation TG-MasterSystem game console to launch a full-scale offensive this Christmas. Atari is also targeting the Christmas market. I heard that we are working hard to develop explosive games." "Now Atari is eyeing the game copyright of the global hot "Alien E¡¤T". I suspect that it intends to use the influence of this movie to develop it into an ace game to capture the market." Xia Yu said with a smile: "In this case, let''s transfer the game copyright of "Alien E¡¤T" to Atari Company." Huo Jianning was immediately stunned. PS: I was so busy last night that I couldn''t bear it and didn''t dare to stay up late, so I got up at six o''clock this morning. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1154: Destroy it with all your strength! "Chairman, I don''t understand, please give me some advice." Huo Jianning calmed down and said sincerely. Xia Yu smiled and said: "It means literally. Since "Alien E¡¤T" is not necessary for Tiangong Electronics, let it be given to Atari." "Do you think that if Tiangong Electronics is to develop the "Alien E¡¤T" game, the quality must be guaranteed. How long will it take from development to launch?" Huo Jianning is not a fool. When Xia Yu called here, he had probably guessed the chairman''s intention. He smiled and said: "If we come to research and develop, and do it casually, we can develop it in three or four weeks. If we want to ensure our consistent quality of boutique products, and there is follow-up development, then at least it must be polished. Three to four months." "After the game is developed, it will take a month or two for production to be shipped to the dealer." "So the entire process is usually about half a year." Xia Yu said with a smile: "It''s only three months before Christmas, less than a hundred days." "Do you think even if the game copyright of "Alien E¡¤T" is in the hands of Atari, can they develop a good game?" Huo Jianning shook his head and said with certainty: "Absolutely impossible!" "Although Atari now has a huge number of employees, it has developed more than one hundred game projects. Putting it on a single project is far worse than ours." "If Atari Company buys the copyright of "Alien E¡¤T", it will definitely want to take advantage of the current movie heat to quickly harvest the market. This game will definitely be the main game of Christmas. The company¡¯s temperament must at least produce millions of pieces. This will take a long time, and one and a half months will be considered stressful." "Excluding the time for negotiating to acquire the copyright, the time left for Atari''s development is just over a month." "With the overall impetuous atmosphere of Atari, it will definitely be able to be developed in more than a month, but the quality must be average or even poor." Xia Yu spread his hand and said with a smile: "That''s not it." "The higher the popularity of the "Alien E¡¤T" movie, the higher the audience''s expectations of the game. This is a double-edged sword. "The game development site is good, and it can earn both fame and fortune." "The game is not well developed, and the more consumers there are, the greater the rebound, and it will even stab yourself to death." "Since you said that consumers now have a lot of grievances about Atari''s misconduct, then take this opportunity to see if you can gamble and detonate consumers'' emotions." "Maybe it can kill Atari in one go. You don''t need to wait a few more years. At the end of this year or early next year, you will step on the body of Atari." The scene described by Xia Yu''s words made Huo Jianning a little emotional. Just thinking of the "Alien E¡¤T" movie, which is still popular all over the world, if Atari Company loses its reputation, he can''t help but feel sorry. He raised his concerns: "Chairman, if Atari really messes up the reputation of "Alien E¡¤T", will it cause trouble to MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films? Overdraft market potential and the like..." Xia Yu glanced at him and said, "So this requires you to earn as much value as possible." "You have to participate in raising the price. While delaying the time, Atari also pays a higher price to obtain the copyright of "Alien E¡¤T" and obtain more for MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films. Many benefits." "The most important thing is that Tiangong Electronics must strive to launch a strong offensive at Christmas, defeat Atari in one fell swoop, and grab the market that originally belonged to it." "With these two points, the game value of "Alien E¡¤T" has been damaged and it is worth it." Huo Jianning felt more pressure on his shoulders, but this pressure quickly turned into a strong motivation. If Atari¡¯s annual sales of tens of millions of consoles can occupy half of the market, the sales alone are enough to increase the sales of the game department of Tiangong Electronics by one billion US dollars a year. If it is coupled with the game cassettes driven Sales and sales can reach two billion U.S. dollars. This income can indeed far exceed the game value of "Alien E¡¤T". Since the chairman personally schedules this matter, how can he not let the chairman down! He took a deep breath and nodded heavily and promised: "Chairman, I understand, please rest assured, I will defeat Atari with all my strength!" "Ok!" "I''m waiting for your good news!" Xia Yu said encouragingly with a smile on his face. "Go, I will call Barry Diller and Wu Siyuan of MGM Pictures first, and you will directly contact them both." "Ok." "Chairman, then I will go out first." "Ok." Seeing Huo Jianning leave with a calm and steady pace, Xia Yu showed a smile, and then continued to bury his head and get busy. ... After returning, Huo Jianning quickly made a plan, and conspired with Barry Diller and Wu Siyuan to set up Atari company. Then at the beginning, there is no need to worry about Huo Jianning. MGM Pictures will leak the news. The game copyright of "Alien E¡¤T" really attracted a large number of game companies to flock to it, Atari While the company was angry, it had to lick its face to participate in the competition. Just when the game copyright of "Alien E¡¤T" stirred up the global game market. Huo Jianning received two teams in the conference room of Tiangong Electronics. They are the team led by Demps Jerry, the vice president and head of the CD project of Philips in the Netherlands, and the team led by Matsumoto Wang, vice president and head of the CD project of Sony. Little devil has always been thick-skinned and treacherous. After a few brief conversations, Nozomi Matsumoto put out a letter of intent for cooperation with a kind face. "President Huo, in the field of CD optical disc technology, Sony is a pioneer, and at the same time it has always fulfilled the responsibility of pioneering the industry. It has never hidden the technology. Tiangong Electronics has purchased a large number of technology patents from us before." "This time, your company has made some new developments on the basis of the original technology. We have also seen the samples sent by your company. We very much recognize your company¡¯s scientific research strength. In order to promote the prosperity of this industry as soon as possible, I I hope to be able to purchase related technologies from your company." Matsumoto Wang finished, Demps Jerry also said with a smile: "President Huo, our Philips company also has this cooperation intention." Huo Jianning calmed down. After reading the letter of intent for cooperation that Matsumoto Wang handed over, he sneered secretly, put the letter of intent under his hands, and said without hesitation: "Sorry, our technology is not transferred to the outside world. This is the bottom line of all cooperation. " Hearing this, the smile on Matsumoto Wang''s face, who was still smiling, disappeared instantly. But he was not angry either. He remained patient, and said to Huo Jianning solemnly: "President Huo You are not a technical researcher and you may not be clear. The technology currently held by Tiangong Electronics is not irreplaceable. Yes, we and Philips are fully capable of developing other technologies, and the audio track can also be changed." "But the laser disc market is an emerging market, and we believe that the current technology is only at the bottom of the pyramid." "Under this circumstance, the foundation of working together to create this market is the most important. This is also our company and Philips together to establish the yellow book standard. We warmly welcome the original intention of joining the alliance from all over the world. At the time, Tiangong Electronics joined the alliance and purchased technology. , We are also very welcome, you should not forget?" Nozomi Matsumoto sang red face, and Demps Jerry immediately sang white face. He went on to say: "Matsumoto was right to say that technology sharing is the essence of social progress and a necessary way to mature the market." "Although Tiangong Electronics has a small number of unique technologies, it still needs a huge industry to support it in order to smoothly market it." "Without the support of the industrial chain, Tiangong Electronics will not be able to create value even if it possesses the technology, and thus cannot continue to develop more advanced technologies." "I think President Huo should understand this truth." Hearing Demps Jerry''s implied threatening words, Huo Jianning still sat calmly. I saw him smile lightly and said: ¡°It¡¯s impossible to sell technology. If Philips and Sony want to use it, I can license your company¡¯s technology, or we can exchange technology. Two ways." As soon as Huo Jianning''s voice fell, Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Wang frowned, and both of them showed unhappy expressions. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1155: Are you threatening me? The so-called technology authorization is to collect protection fees from them, and it is collected continuously. In the walkman field before, Sony was charged royalties for some patents developed by Tiangong Electronics. As a result, Sony had to pay six US dollars to Tiangong Electronics Group for every time it produced and sold a walkman. At that time, it was regarded as a shame by Sony. During an internal meeting, it also voted to increase investment in technology research and development, in order to accumulate greater technological advantages, so as not to be sucked blood by rival Tiangong Electronics Group. And this time the CD laser disc technology is also an internal project of the company, which is to manufacture CD players and open up new markets. If you agree to this again, won''t you be sucked blood by the Tiangong Electronics Group like the last time? Work for Tiangong Electronics Group? So before coming, Sony had already analyzed the pros and cons. This time the unique technology of TG Tech was different from the previous one. TG Tech did not directly market its technology and did not take advantage of it. Market position, and technology is not irreversible. Therefore, Sony and Philips have reached an agreement. This time they must unite to force the Tiangong Electronics Group to surrender. It is impossible to pay the patent royalties. They do not believe that Tiangong Electronics, a company that has only been established for a few years, can Confront them and the old order. Of course, if you can''t fight the best, after all, direct confrontation requires a high cost, which will affect the CD-DA standard alliance that they jointly rule, and there is also a risk of uncertainty. In their plan, the best case is to directly purchase patents held by Tiangong Electronics Group. If not, it is a patent exchange. With the technical background of Philips and Sony, the number of patented technologies in various aspects will absolutely crush the Tiangong Electronics Group, and only a small part will be enough. Now Huo Jianning proposed that the patent can be exchanged, but Wang Matsumoto and Demps Jerry looked at each other and reached an agreement instantly. Continue to fight for the initiative in negotiations, and even if there is a need for technology exchange, try to switch to lower-grade technologies as much as possible. Demps Jerry continued to sing and said straightforwardly: "President Huo, it is impossible to pay for the use of technology. As I said earlier, some of the technologies owned by Tiangong Electronics Group are not irreplaceable. Our company It has also carried out related research and development as Sony, but Tiangong Electronics Group is a little lucky and has achieved results first." "Philips has a large enough scientific research system, as long as it invests enough funds, it can completely change its path." "President Huo, if you were me, would you choose to give money to other companies? Or invest money in research and development to obtain a batch of exclusive technologies?" Huo Jianning is not on the road, he smiled lightly and said: "If it were me, I would definitely choose to pay royalties, use the technology as soon as possible, and bring the product to the market to make a profit. Isn¡¯t it good to do research and development after making money? Next-generation technology." Demps Jerry choked suddenly, a little unable to get off the stage, and his face turned black. He looked at Huo Jianning very dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Mr. Huo, should you have an attitude towards partners with this attitude?" Huo Jianning glanced at Demps Jerry, and said inexplicably, "Tiangong Electronics has cooperation and competition with Philips. My attitude depends on the attitude of Philips, doesn''t it?" Demps Jerry''s eyebrows were upset suddenly. Obviously, his white face was smashed, but it contributed to Huo Jianning''s momentum. Seeing that something was wrong, Matsumoto hurriedly stepped forward to make a round. "President Jerry, calm down your emotions." After speaking, Matsumoto Wang looked at Huo Jianning again, and said dissatisfied: "President Huo, we came to the door with sincerity, and we have always been partners." "There is an old saying in Huaxia,''If you have friends from afar, you don''t have to say it!'', we come to discuss cooperation with you. As the host, even if you don''t warmly welcome you, you won''t be cold and mocking, right?" "This is inconsistent with your image and identity. If it is spread out, it may lose the face of Huaxia." Matsumoto hoped that this hand even dismissed, and also put a high hat on Huo Jianning. Huo Jianning couldn''t help but take a high look at him. Good guy, as expected, the people of the island nations have some research on Chinese culture, and this level of display has to make him pay attention. Originally, he wanted to cooperate too. Since Matsumoto hopes to make a round and give him face and steps, he also slightly reduces his edge. Instead of seeing Demps Jerry, he smiled and said to Matsumoto Wang: "President Matsumoto, your attitude is like talking about cooperation." "You speak for this reason, and I will give you face." "I''ll just say that in front of the CD-ROM format we are currently developing, the CD-DA standard of the Red Book for CD laser discs has fallen behind and has great limitations." "Tiangong Electronics intends to take the lead in establishing a new data disc standard. If Sony is willing to join, we are very welcome, and we are very willing to share the technology." "But we have invested a huge cost in developing these technologies. If Sony wants to use it, it can choose to pay for the technology or exchange the technology we need." The real purpose of Tiangong Electronics is actually to establish a new industry standard? This is to overturn the order established by Sony and Philips! Be yourself the leader of the martial arts! When Huo Jianning revealed the true purpose, Wang Matsumoto and Demps Jerry received a huge shock. At this moment, where are they still entangled in technology royalties or technology exchanges. Tiangong Electronics Group is going to create their own rebellion and subvert their dominance in the industry. How can this be done? To establish industry standards, it was also built by Sony and Philips. Where would the Tiangong Electronics Group be obtained? The Tiangong Electronics Group was originally very threatening. The biggest shortcoming is that it has just been established this year. The foundation is very thin. If the Tiangong Electronics Group is really established as a standard builder, the pressure on the future Sony and Philips will be even greater. Big. There is only one cake. Sony and Philips are enough to divide the cake. You can''t be robbed of the cake by Tiangong Electronics, nor can it cost the third person to cut the cake! Without communication, Nozomi Matsumoto and Demps Jerry had the same attitude. Demps Jerry said bluntly: "President Huo, the CD-DA standard has only been established two years ago, and it is still able to adapt to the current data disc field. At most, we can optimize on this basis. At present, we are already in the process of standard optimization. , I believe it will not take long for you to receive the invitation letter." Matsumoto nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it will definitely notify the Tiangong Electronics Group at that time." "Of course, this will take a certain amount of time, and we will notify you after internal discussions." "As for the technology currently owned by the Tiangong Electronics Group, um...I personally have a sincere suggestion that Tiangong Electronics can exchange patents with our Sony and Philips companies. Of course, in return, we will share part of the Tiangong Electronics Group Technology is included in the scope of standard optimization and expansion. If existing standard members want to use related technologies, they need to pay technology usage fees." "Of course we will do our best to promote it. For the long-term development of the Standards Alliance, the Alliance Management Committee will draw a certain reasonable share." "But in general, Tiangong Electronics Group can use these technologies to obtain sufficient profits." Hearing Matsumoto Wang''s righteous words, Huo Jianning almost laughed. According to Matsumoto''s suggestion, that is, the standard is still dominated by Sony and Philips. This standard alliance is equivalent to a platform. Tiangong Electronics Group can put technology on the platform because of its technological advantages. Philips and Sony Free trial after technology exchange, other members pay technology usage fees, but after the technology usage fees are paid, part of it will be given to Sony and Philips as "platform usage fees and promotion fees." After all, although Tiangong Electronics has a higher status than other members and can indeed make a lot of money using technology, it is still working for Philips and Sony. Just like Taobao platform and Taobao shopkeepers, Sony and Philips are the owners of Taobao platform, and Tiangong Electronics Group is the owner of Taobao. The difference is that Tiangong Electronics Group''s stores have been upgraded several stars directly backstage. That''s right, it looks like Matsumoto Wang really took a step back. but! Tiangong Electronics Group still has not become a shareholder or even an operator of the platform! This is not what Tiangong Electronics wants! In order to become the creator of the second-generation data CD standard, Chairman Xia Yu has invested such a large amount of capital to pave the way for Tiangong Electronics. How could he disappoint the chairman? Therefore, Huo Jianning was too lazy to talk nonsense with Matsumoto Wang and Demps Jerry, and said directly: "Two, new standards, our Tiangong Electronics Group will definitely establish, if Sony and Philips join in late Or if you don¡¯t join, UU reading will definitely lose you." "I can tell you directly, whether anyone joins or not, we will definitely put these technologies on the market." "We welcome all companies from all over the world to join, and we are equally confident to compete with all companies!" "Including Sony and Philips!" The words were loud, full of momentum, and the sense of decisiveness revealed by those deep eyes, which greatly changed the faces of Matsumoto and Demps Jerry. Matsumoto looked anxious. But his mind is still sober. He hurriedly said: "President Huo, the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group has not yet reached the point of being marketed. When it is introduced to the market, it will only make the CD disc market chaotic, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the industry." Demps Jerry added: "President Huo, it is difficult to get the support of relevant companies to promote immature technology to the market." "The industry chain of the vinyl market is very large. The current record companies are all vested interests in the vinyl industry. Technical CD disc technology has its own characteristics, but in the case of chaotic standards, record companies will never support it." "I can guarantee that PolyGram International Co., Ltd. will never venture to invest hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars to support the immature technology of Tiangong Electronics Group!" Nozomi Matsumoto also said: "Columbia Records will not support it either." Huo Jianning narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Wang who were determined and even with a hint of warning. A smile suddenly appeared on his face. It was this unexpected smile that made the hearts of Matsumoto and Demps Jerry burst. "Are you threatening me?" https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1156: I got it! King fried! (4000 words big Huo Jianning''s anti-provocation attitude undoubtedly annoyed Matsumoto and Demps Jerry. After the two were silent for a moment, Demps Jerry said coldly: "President Huo, if you think so, then we have no objection!" Matsumoto didn''t say a word, but his attitude showed no doubt. For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed very depressing. Huo Jianning glanced at both of them coldly, then suddenly laughed, and the words made Wang Matsumoto and Demps Jerry frowned. "threaten me?" "I have to say, you are the typical ignorant and fearless!" This mocking tone made Demps Jerry irritated. He stood up directly, with a condescending posture as if it could boost his power, and said loudly: "President Huo, you should be the ignorant now." "I can guarantee that PolyGram International Co., Ltd. will never support the technology of the Tiangong Electronics Group, and other record companies in Europe will also not support it!" Demps Jerry''s gesture annoyed Huo Jianning. "boom!" With a cold face, he slapped Demps Jerry with a slap on the table. "You can''t guarantee it!" "Before telling the big story, weigh your own weight!" "After reading these materials, I hope you can repeat what you just said again!" After speaking, Huo Jianning winked at an assistant on the left, who immediately threw the stack of documents he had been holding into Demps Jie. Then Huo Jianning, who was awkwardly not knowing whether to sit down or continue to stand, Demps Jerry said to the assistant on the right: "Show the file to President Matsumoto!" The assistant on the right handed the file to Matsumoto''s assistant immediately. Huo Jianning said blankly to Matsumoto Wang: "President Matsumoto, these materials are photocopies. You can take them with you later. Look at them. I''m not in a hurry!" An extremely bad premonition rose in Matsumoto Wang''s heart. Without a word, he took the file in his assistant''s hand and scanned it carefully. Less than five seconds later, his face changed drastically. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Huo Jianning, who had a calm look on his face, then suppressed the inner vibration and tried his best to stay calm and look down. Demps Jerry on the side realized that it was not good, and sat down again and looked at the files in front of him. Similarly, after only watching for a while, his face changed drastically and his thoughts were in confusion. Looking at the panicked two people, Huo Jianning''s mouth evoked a sneer. If friendly negotiations can''t go on, then he will simply show his card. King fried! The two of them looked at the information related to the series of record companies they had acquired. They are the cooperation agreement on CD-ROM format records of seven companies including EMI Records, Virgin Records, Kojima Records, American Epic Records, RCA Group, A& Company, and Universal Music Group. And a copy of the share certificate of Polygram International Co., Ltd. Before the cooperation agreement of the seven companies was written, the refusal of Polygram International Co., Ltd. and Columbia Records was not threatening! The seven record companies have joined together to support the Tiangong Electronics Group, which is sufficient to cover the main market for CDs and support the Tiangong Electronics Group to promote products. If you think about it more carefully, these seven record companies support the Tiangong Electronics Group, so they will never support Philips and Sony. This is enough to cause a major blow to the two companies. What''s more, there is also a copy of the 35% share certificate of Polygram International Limited. Just this one copy directly hit Demps Jerry in the face. Yes, Philips is the largest shareholder of PolyGram International Co., Ltd., but its shareholding ratio is only a little higher. Even if it unites Siemens to suppress the new shareholder Universal Music Group, it cannot be absolutely suppressed. A veto power alone can prevent most resolutions from being passed. Philips can make Polygram International Co., Ltd. not agree to support the Tiangong Electronics Group, and then the Universal Music Group behind this equity certificate can also prevent Philips from getting support. It can be said that the trump card of Philips to promote CD disc technology has been directly abolished! Seeing Demps Jerry''s blue and red face, Huo Jianning was in a great mood. Time passed slowly. It was observed that Demps Jerry and Nozomi Matsumoto had read the file. Huo Jianning Noyu''s voice sounded again: "President Matsumoto, President Jerry, do you think our technology can be promoted smoothly?" These words were like chili water, directly sprinkling salt on the wounds of Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Wang, making them extremely uncomfortable. But after Huo Jianning made the card, the two of them were completely at a disadvantage, and the preparation plans before coming were all disrupted. The current situation is beyond their control and decision-making scope. Only when they go back and report to the company, the respective chairman of the board can decide. Matsumoto hoped to squeeze out a reluctant smile, and said awkwardly: "Unexpectedly, Tiangong Electronics Group has reached cooperation with so many companies in silence. Your company''s confidentiality work is really good. Huo Jianning smiled and said jokingly: "No way, if I don''t prepare, now I have a headache..." Matsumoto Wang smiled awkwardly, and didn''t dare to answer the conversation. He was upset and just wanted to leave. "President Huo, it seems that our first discussion can only end here today. I will bring your company''s attitude back and look forward to our real cooperation." Huo Jianning nodded slightly, took a deep look at Matsumoto, then glanced at Demps Jerry, and said faintly: "President Matsumoto, I only give you five days. The choice is yours. I welcome All partners are also not afraid of any competition!" "We have reached cooperation with these record companies. No matter what the result is, I will definitely bring the product to the market." "My attitude, I hope you can tell Mr. Tai Shen and Mr. Akio Morita exactly." Then he looked at Demps Jerry and said lightly: "President Jerry, I also hope you will inform Mr. Philips as soon as possible." "These materials, you can take them away!" After speaking, Huo Jianning made a please gesture. Matsumoto Wang and Demps Jerry wanted to leave a long time ago, they got up one after another, and after a casual comment, they hurried away with someone. Of course, in Huo Jianning''s view, the two groups fled here completely in despair. Seeing them disappearing into sight, Huo Jianning''s eyes became deep and he sighed quietly for a long time. In fact, emotionally, he does not want to cooperate with Philips and Sony, nor does he want to pull the two companies together to become the makers of the new data CD standard. However, from a rational point of view, cooperation with Philips and Sony is more advantageous than disadvantages for the Tiangong Electronics Group. The reason is that the foundation of the Tiangong Electronics Group is shallow, and the internal and external foundations are both shallow! Sony has decades of technical background and market relationships, not to mention Philips, now the world¡¯s top 500, a giant in the electronics field, has accumulated more than 90 years of technical background and various relationships. In terms of technical standards, Philips is not only the maker of the CD-DA disc standard, but also the leader of many other technical alliances. Philips shares other interests in common with other companies. If Philips really wants to take another path with Sony, it can definitely attract a large group of allies to follow, and the scientific research strength of the two companies should not be underestimated. It is absolutely possible to develop another set of standards. At that time, two camps will be formed, and Tiangong Electronics Group will probably have very few allies in this camp. Huo Jianning was not absolutely sure of winning, and he did not want to cause trouble to the chairman because of this matter, or even let the chairman waste resources again. Therefore, although Tiangong Electronics Group has solved the constraints of pushing it to the market, given that the current comprehensive strength of the group is still unable to overwhelm the crowd, he can only focus on stability. He has now played the trump card. As long as the operators of Philips and Sony are not stupid, they will definitely choose to bow their heads and consider peace. As for the extent of the "harmony" and how the benefits are distributed, it depends on five days later. As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still under his control, and Tiangong Electronics Group has a great initiative! ... Let¡¯s talk about Matsumoto Wang. After leaving the Tiangong Electronics Group, he almost rushed back to the island nation of Tokyo¡¯s Minato District to meet with Chairman Akio Morita. After learning of the grim situation, Akio Morita immediately called another founder and chief technical adviser, Shenda I. Sony Corporation was founded by Akio Morita and Dae Shen. Akio Morita is good at business management, and Jing Shen Da is a great technology man. He liked to invent when he was in college and won the Outstanding Invention Award at the Paris Universal Exposition at the time by relying on the "dynamic neon light". Under the combination of the two swords, Sony has flourished and has become an island-based electronics giant in decades. When I was here, Akio Morita immediately asked Matsumoto to repeat what was about to happen. After Wang Matsumoto finished speaking, Akio Morita immediately asked: "Jing Shen, you know more about the technical aspects. You have analyzed the samples taken by Tiangong Electronics Group before. We are now avoiding the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group. Barriers, can we develop a second-generation data disc." Jing Shenda nodded without hesitation and said: "The data disc industry is still in its infancy. As long as enough manpower and capital are invested, it can definitely go another way. However, as Tiangong Electronics Group occupies some technical fields, I want to Avoiding it requires more research and development costs." "And this also needs to ensure that before we develop the finished product, Tiangong Electronics Group will not be ahead of us in certain technical fields. The more technology is occupied by them, the greater the difficulty and cost of our research and development, and the more we can go. The narrower the road." "Ideally, how long will it take to develop products of the same level as the Tiangong Electronics Group?" Akio Morita continued to ask. After thinking about it for a long time, Da Jing Shen said cautiously: "In the case of our alliance with Philips, it is conservatively estimated that it will take more than six months! If the development does not go well, it will take even longer!" Akio Morita immediately shook his head and sighed: "It''s too late, it''s too long." Jing Shenda is also a high IQ person. Although he doesn''t care about business, he still understands most of the things. After listening to Matsumoto Nozomi''s account just now, he knew how Morita Akio would choose. The reason why he asked him was nothing more than a little hope. But unfortunately, he couldn''t give Morita Akio this expectation. He always sought truth from facts. "Mr. Shengtian, this time our technology is behind, and we can only hope that the subsequent technology research and development can produce faster results." "With the support of so many record companies, now there are no restrictions on the introduction of Tiangong Electronics Group''s products and technologies to the market. Neither Columbia Records nor Polygram International Co., Ltd. in which we hold shares can give Tiangong Electronics The Industrial Electronics Group is a fatal threat." "Even Philips is more powerless than us." "The CD disc market is still in its infancy, and there is still a lot of room for us to explore. For the time being, it is not enough to spend huge costs in direct confrontation. "My suggestion is to temporarily compromise with Tiangong Electronics Group and join forces to make this cake bigger." After speaking, Jing Shenda stopped talking and looked at Akio Morita. Morita Akio is the chairman. He has already made suggestions. No matter what Morita Akio chooses, he will support him. After thinking about it for a long time, Akio Morita said decisively: "There is no confrontation for the time being, but we must become one of the new standard setters. This is the bottom line of cooperation, otherwise we will fight a battle!" "Jing Shen, I will propose to the board of directors to increase investment in the research and development of CD disc technology, and you will need to worry about it later." Jing Shen smiled and said, "No problem." The following day, Akio Morita convened an interim board of directors. At the meeting, Nozomi Matsumoto once again explained the details to all directors, and then Akio Morita put forward his attitude. In the final result, there is no doubt that Akio Morita''s opinion was passed unanimously. The meeting also decided to continue the negotiation with the team led by Matsumoto Wang. The bottom line is that Sony must become one of the new standard-setters, technology interchangeable. As for the dominance of the new standard alliance, Akio Morita does not have extravagant hopes. With the Tiangong Electronics Group having an advantage, it is almost impossible for Sony to steal the dominance of the alliance. Unless Huo Jianning is a fool, obviously Huo Jianning is not... And the other supporting role-Philips of the Netherlands, although the strength is stronger than Sony, but after Polygram International Co., Ltd., the market trump card was abolished, Philips has fewer options. After Demps Jerry went back, he reported the situation clearly, and then Philips immediately held a board of directors The final result was that Philips did not want to fight such a battle that had no absolute chance of winning, and planned to continue negotiations, as long as it kept The identity of the setter of the new standards alliance will do. Soon, the five days Huo Jianning gave him passed in a flash. Demps Jerry and Nozomi Matsumoto once again led the team to Xiangjiang. The difference is that the negotiating team is larger. But on the other hand, it also shows that the two companies attach importance to this negotiation. Negotiations that day took almost a day to finally reach an agreement, and the three companies signed a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation. Philips and Sony fully supported the CD-ROM format standard proposed by the Tiangong Electronics Group. The new CD-ROM standard is dominated by Tiangong Electronics Group, which serves as the chairman of the Technical Standards Alliance, and Philips and Sony respectively serve as vice-chairmen. As for the more detailed division of interests, it involves many aspects. The list is full of more than ten pages of A4 paper, which is extremely beneficial to the Tiangong Electronics Group in general. In terms of technology exchange, Huo Jianning had long asked Dr. Chao Lu to list the technologies in the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory that were extremely valuable and urgently needed for the Tiangong Electronics Group based on actual conditions. In the case of taking the initiative, Tiangong Electronics Group relied on a batch of CDROM format patents in exchange for a batch of equivalent technologies, which gave Tiangong Electronics Group a lot of deep technical background. After everything was in order, Huo Jianning immediately joined the process of marketization of the CDROM standard. Philips and Sony are not fools, so he must race against time to grab market share as quickly as possible! PS: Today is the two chapters in one, this week is really too busy, the update is unstable, please forgive me! v3 Chapter 1157: More than 20 billion floating profit Just when Huo Jianning was personally responsible for CD-ROM standards, he had already sent a vice president to lead a team to the United States to participate in the competition for the copyright of the "Alien E¡¤T" game. The competition for the copyright of the "Alien E¡¤T" game is fierce. No way, the global box office of the "Alien E¡¤T" movie has exceeded 600 million US dollars, and the total box office in North America has exceeded 300 million US dollars. Even though it has been released for more than three months, it is still in hot screenings. After the premiere, "Alien E¡¤T" won the North American weekend box office championship position. From September 17 to 19 last weekend, the number of "Alien E¡¤T" North American screening theaters still exceeded 1,200, and the North American weekend box office still exceeded 4 million US dollars. This movie has been creating various records and is called "historical record creation machine" by major entertainment media. As of the latest situation, "Alien E¡¤T" has won an astonishing 15 consecutive championships and is continuing to create brilliance! Seeing the influence of "Alien E¡¤T", powerful game companies around the world are very eager for its game copyright style, and there are more than 20 game companies eligible to compete. This situation angered Atari. But human nature is like this, the harder it is to get, the more I want it. Atari company internally determined that this warm family sci-fi movie adaptation of the game is definitely the most suitable for Christmas sales, and its appeal to young people far exceeds all the games currently being developed or sold within the company. But time is getting tighter now! Therefore, Atari''s determination to win the game copyright is extremely firm. Some game companies are lacking in strength and are losing ground one after another, but Tiangong Electronics Group has bitten Atari company hard, and the Atari team bit their teeth with hatred. It¡¯s just that Tiangong Electronics Group was originally Atari¡¯s biggest competitor. After seeing the madness of Tiangong Electronics Group, Atari¡¯s acquisition team had to report to the company again and again and approve more funds to participate in the competition. . In the end, Atari "has the last laugh." On September 24, in the unwilling gaze of the acquisition team of Tiangong Electronics Group, Atari''s acquisition team triumphantly won the game copyright of "Alien E¡¤T" at a price of 42 million US dollars. In the original history, due to lack of competitors, Atari only spent 25 million US dollars to obtain the copyright. But this time, Atari¡¯s situation is even more difficult, and because of the vicious competition of the Tiangong Electronics Group, Atari had to pay an additional 17 million US dollars to obtain the "Alien E¡¤ "T" game copyright. After taking the copyright, the research and development, production and distribution time left for Atari has been only three months! The two tasks arranged by Xia Yu were completed, and Huo Jianning immediately reported the situation to the chairman Xia Yu and obtained Xia Yu''s encouragement. However, Xia Yu also did not forget to remind Huo Jianning that the Christmas offensive is the most critical step. Whether Tiangong Electronics Group can soar into the sky, after the arcade game field, once again won the leading position in the home game console market, it depends on that Up. After that, Huo Jianning continued to devote himself to the work of Tiangong Electronics Group with high morale. ... In a blink of an eye, September flashed by. More than 50 days have passed since the outbreak of the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America. However, the sovereign debt crisis has spread too widely and the situation is too complicated, and the demands of countries such as Mexico are too unreasonable in the eyes of commercial banks in Europe and the United States. So far since the crisis broke out, not to mention an exact result, even the preliminary plan has not been fully negotiated. The longer it drags on, the more pessimistic people are about this crisis. Unfortunately, the first to bear the brunt is the banks involved in various countries. Many small and medium-sized banks around the world have been forced to file for bankruptcy because of the vortex of sovereign debt that triggered a run. The global banking industry has been shrouded in a dark cloud of systemic risks. For this reason, Fed Chairman Paul Volcker and International Monetary Fund President Jacques Delarosier are under increasing pressure. As a last resort, the two of them tried their best to put pressure on Latin American countries, and at the same time put pressure on major commercial banks, trying to get the two sides to compromise with each other as soon as possible. At the same time, major commercial banks also turned to their governments for help, making European and American governments continue to put pressure on Latin America and other countries, forcing Mexico and Brazil to make concessions as much as possible. The pressure of various governments has only played a significant role in Mexico. The Mexican government announced the implementation of specific plans for clean government, preparing to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. However, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries are tough, and their attitudes are still tough. There is a strong voice in each country, calling on the government to completely rely on these debts. On October 2nd, at a meeting held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the President of the International Monetary Fund Jacques Delarosier brought another bad news to the bankers. Before the International Monetary Fund contributes funds, many commercial banks must jointly provide 5 billion U.S. dollars in new funds, and this funds must be in place before December 15, otherwise the IMF will not contribute money to participate in the crisis. After the news was exposed, the stock prices of many banks accelerated again. The floating profit obtained by the Galaxy Fund skyrocketed again. After Xia Yu''s special statistics, he learned that the eight teams of the Galaxy Fund had accumulated floating profits of 28.6 billion US dollars! And Fuying is still climbing rapidly every day. According to the current situation, it will take at least a month for European and American countries to come up with a proper solution to the Latin American sovereign debt crisis. This means that there is at least one month left to tell the profit period! Even if European and American countries come up with a plan, it does not mean that the crisis will be resolved immediately. In the past life, until 1989 ~ www.novelhall.com ~ the United States was still proposing a Brady plan to resolve the Latin American sovereign debt crisis. It is conceivable that the bad effects of the Latin American sovereign debt crisis will still exist for many years to come. Therefore, Xia Yu is not worried that it will rebound after the high-speed profit period. Unless it is due to the Galaxy Fund''s own operation errors, there will be no floating profits to be spit out, but the profit rate will drop by a large margin. However, more than 50 days after the crisis broke out, the stock prices of many banks have almost fallen. Bright Fund has begun secretly buying the shares of Barclays Bank and HSBC Holdings. Standard Chartered Bank is also hunting down the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa in an attempt to complete the absolute control of the largest commercial bank in Africa. October 6. Two major events occurred in Hong Kong that affected everyone. The first is the new "Hong Kong Securities Exchange Law" and "Securities and Futures Commission Regulations" ("SFC Regulations") announced their formal implementation. Second, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission was officially established! On this day, the entire capital market practitioners and investors cheered. Global Satellite TV and major newspapers have done an extremely detailed analysis of these two things, and summed it up in one sentence-the Hong Kong financial market already has a very complete institutional foundation, and the future of Hong Kong''s financial market will be bright! The system problem has been solved, and investors and practitioners have not forgotten the other most important thing. That is the formal merger of the four major exchanges and the opening of the Unified Exchange. And the time is just next week! PS: Sorry, the weekends have nothing to do with me. The city made a surprise inspection. I worked overtime a bit faster last night. I was still doing work this morning. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:.

The morning sun is bright and transparent, and everything is rejoicing, the mist dissipates, and the sun shoots out strands of golden light, pouring on all things in the world. On this day, the sun is just right, just like the red flower meets the colorful sun. When the major newsstand owners in Central on Hong Kong Island were all out, they found that a huge stage had been set up in front of a building, and a big red carpet went straight from the roadside into the building. Although there were no guests for the time being, a group of Aegis security personnel in neat uniforms dispersed vigorously, their vigilant eyes blazing around, paying attention to everything around them. As time slowly passed, there were more and more pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and the quiet night of Central was once again shrouded in hustle and bustle. I don''t know when, cars are constantly stopping on the side of the road, and successful people in suits and shoes arrive. More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and the reporter group had already squeezed to the position closest to the cordon, carrying long guns and short cannons to shoot continuously. Going to the back, the crowd of onlookers found that everyone present was a big person with a name and a surname. It was usually rare to see one of them, but now they all appear together. Wang Qi, President of Jiuding Securities! Zheng Yutong, Chairman of New World Development Corporation! Ma Jincan, Chairman of Dasheng Bank and Dasheng Real Estate Group! ... "Hey, the stock **** is here too. It''s rare to see him once a year, so hurry up and take pictures!" When I saw Xia Yu walking Li Qian onto the red carpet, the reporters and melon-eating people on the side became agitated. The flashes on the scene kept lighting up, and the sound of "kaka" taking pictures was endless. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu walked into the lobby of the United Stock Exchange with Li Qian in a hurry. Inside, there are guests from all walks of life, but they are more concentrated in the financial industry. Those who can come here are people with a lot of energy, at least a medium-sized or above The chairman or principal of a financial company. Of course, almost all the chairman of the board of the listed companies in the four major stock exchanges have come. After all, starting from today, the four major stock exchanges will become history, and all the listed companies in them will be concentrated here. Strictly speaking, This time is equivalent to their company''s second listing. Prior to this, because the four major stock exchanges were located in four places, companies listed on different stock exchanges could not be compared horizontally. The more active Kowloon Stock Exchange had a larger amount of funds, and the oldest Hong Kong stock exchange All established companies have the most, while the other two stock exchanges lag behind. As a result, the quality of many listed companies is uneven, because of various factors, some have high price-earnings ratios, and some are underestimated. But starting today, all listed companies are gathered in one place, and the comparison and competition between listed companies in the same industry has become very direct. Whether the stock price soars or plummets depends on the degree of favor of the respective companies in the capital market. If the stock price plummets, they must prepare early! Before Xia Yu came, they almost all revolved around the top executives of the United Stock Exchange. But when he saw Xia Yu''s arrival, he instantly grabbed all the light and became the focus of the audience. Almost everyone sitting in the court stood up, and those who claimed to be qualified to stand in front of Xia Yu surrounded Xia Yu with warm smiles. For a time, warm greetings sounded one after another. "Mr. Xia, good morning!" "Mr. Xia, I am honored to be able to attend the same ceremony with you." "Mr. Xia..." "Mr. Liu, hello!" "..." Xia Yu didn''t show up, smiling, shaking hands with them one by one. At this time, Liu Tianci, with a beautiful corsage on his chest, came to Xia Yu''s side, and the other people who had wanted to get together stopped subconsciously. "Chairman, here you are!" "How is it, there is nothing wrong, right?" Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci with a smile on his face, and asked with a faint smile. Liu Tianci shook his head and said: "There is no problem. The Aegis security is in good order. Most of the people who have invited invitations from the business community have arrived. The Hong Kong government has not come yet. I contacted Governor Su Xingjian. He will bring people from the Hong Kong government." "At present, it can be opened on time." Xia Yu nodded slightly: "That''s okay. If you have any questions, you can tell me directly, you can go to your business, I can just chat with people." "Okay, then I''m leaving now!" After speaking, Liu Tianci left slowly. After he left, other people who had stopped temporarily came round again. I don''t know when, the people next to Xia Yu were replaced by Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Zhuang Siping, Ma Jianmin and others. A group of people chatted and laughed. "Mr. Xia, the HeungKong capital market can be divided into three stages. The first stage is from 1866 to 1914. HeungKong''s capital market is in its infancy. The second stage is from 1914 to the present. This stage is HeungKong. The growth stage of the capital market has its ups and downs." "And the third stage is definitely the era when HeungKong''s capital market takes off, and this era, strictly speaking, starts today!" "If it weren''t for you, I don''t know how many years will be passed on this day!" "Boundless merit!" Ma Jianmin, head of the Hong Kong Bank of China, exclaimed. In addition to operating the banking industry, HeungKong Bank of China also has tremendous energy in the capital market, so he is very aware of the inside story of the HeungKong United Stock Exchange this time. In his opinion, before the intervention of the Jiuding Consortium, the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange had lagging behind in various work. That is, after the intervention of the spokespersons of the Jiuding Consortium, Liu Tianci and Wang Qi, the progress has changed from the past, and the work has advanced rapidly. The Hong Kong Government has also given the green light on policy. Although the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange can be said to be controlled by the Jiuding Consortium, he has also received high-level advice and knows Xia Yu¡¯s firm position. Therefore, in his opinion, it is the best situation now, better than falling into It is better among the major families to fight for power. With Xia Yu''s responsibility and strength, the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange, under the leadership of the Jiuding Consortium, can develop faster and better! Xia Yu smiled modestly: "President Ma, your reputation is too high. The key lies in the efforts of the internal staff of the United Stock Exchange and the support of the government." "Haha, Mr. Xia, you are too modest..." Ma Jianmin said with a smile. ... "A Yu, how large do you think the turnover of the entire exchange can reach today?" After chatting for a while, Bao Yugang suddenly asked Xia Yu. Several other people also immediately raised their ears and looked at Xia Yu quietly. Xia Yu thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I heard that in the past two months, the cumulative daily trading volume of the four major stock exchanges averaged around 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and at the peak of last week it was 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars." "I think on the first day of today, it should be a lot higher, with a guaranteed minimum transaction volume of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, even if it is a good start." He said that, but when Xia Yu spoke, his eyes were very deep. In fact, in order to make a good start, he specifically confessed that Wang Qi and others must increase the trading volume today and start a good start to mobilize the passion of investors and let the United Stock Exchange go smoothly behind. development of. But these are not convenient to say now. UU reading "Billion Hong Kong dollars?" "I think there is at least two billion Hong Kong dollars!" On the contrary, Bao Yugang was very confident in the capital market or Xia Yu and laughed loudly. "I also don''t think it will be less than two billion Hong Kong dollars!" Huo Ying Dongfu shouted. The oldest Mr. Zhuang Siping suddenly interjected to express his opinion: "I think that 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars is no problem, and I can even look forward to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in turnover." "Nanyang Commercial Bank, I will let people invest at least 30 million Hong Kong dollars into the market today." "As far as I know, everyone now generally believes that after the political risks are resolved and the policies are standardized, the Hong Kong stocks are now free from constraints and are eligible to return to the peak of 2,000 points last year." "Now that the Hang Seng Index has just broken through 1,300 points, there is still a lot of room for growth!" "So many peers are ready to compete for the first opportunity today, rushing to occupy the pit, so as not to be dragged behind, resulting in higher entry costs and lower profit margins." "Mr. Zhuang makes sense!" Ma Jianmin agreed with the road with deep approval. "HeungKong Bank of China has also prepared 50 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, ready to enter the market to buy the bottom, haha..." Xia Yu smiled and said, "How many are there? I will know after the market is closed this afternoon." "Of course I hope the higher the turnover, the better..." At this moment, there was some restlessness not far away. Xia Yu looked at his watch and found that it was time to sit down. The opening ceremony is about to begin. "It''s getting late, let''s go out!" "Let''s go..." After all, a group of people walked outside together. PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1159: Hong Kong stocks rise As a person who has always positioned himself as the big boss behind the scenes, Xia Yu does not like to show his face in public places, nor is he keen on going to the news. His attitude makes the Jiuding Consortium¡¯s media empire have a hidden rule, that is, to avoid reporting news related to Xia Yu as much as possible. Only this time, the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange was launched. In order to lay a more solid foundation and a higher starting point for Xiangjiang, he had to do more. According to the plan, the entire opening ceremony has five processes. In the first process, Liu Tianci, as the chairman of the United Stock Exchange, introduced various situations of the exchange and delivered a speech. The second process is Governor Su Xingjian''s speech on behalf of the Hong Kong Government. The third process is Xia Yu''s speech as a business representative. The fourth process, cutting the ribbon. The fifth process, the unveiling, announced the official opening. From the position arrangement of this speech, a discerning person can see that Xia Yu''s position is higher than that of Hong Kong Governor Su Xingjian. Regarding this, Hong Kong Governor Su Xingjian, who has turned to Xia Yu, has no opinion. After Su Xingjian delivered a five-minute outlook and blessings, Wang Qi stepped onto the front desk again as the host, and after a few words of thanks to Governor Su Xingjian, he said in a high-pitched and enthusiastic voice: "Next, Let us give a warm applause and invite Mr. Xia Yu to give a speech on behalf of the Xiangjiang business community!" "Papa..." As soon as Wang Qi''s voice fell, the audience burst into applause. Whether it was the crowd eating melons or the big bosses present, no one did not applaud. Amidst the enthusiastic applause and the attention of the public, Xia Yu got up from the VIP seat in the middle of the first row and stepped onto the center of the stage calmly and steadily. When he picked up the microphone, he didn''t say a word, the applause quickly disappeared, and the scene became very quiet. Everyone looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, waiting for his speech. Seeing this scene, many bigwigs in the audience were secretly speechless, lamenting Xia Yu''s great prestige and influence. Xia Yu smiled and said loudly: "Dear guests and friends at the scene, I am Xia Yu, good morning everyone!" "It''s an honor to be able to speak on stage as a representative of the Hong Kong business community at this historic moment." "As everyone knows, Hong Kong''s financial market now ranks second in Asia, second only to island countries. This is something to be proud of!" "But looking at the world, Hong Kong''s financial market is not at the forefront. There is still a huge gap between the financial market in Asia''s largest island country. This means that Hong Kong''s financial market still has a long way to go. " "But it''s not terrible to be behind, what''s terrible is that there is no heart to strive for progress!" "Fortunately, Xiangjiang has a large number of people of insight. With the full support of the political and business circles, after two years of ups and downs, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has overcome many difficulties and finally came to this step. This process has Time, location, people and the three are jointly blessed..." "For more than two years, the Hong Kong Financial Market has constantly repaired its shortcomings. Today, finally ushered in a harvest day!" "..." "The opening of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is a successful end to the past work, and it is also a new beginning for Xiangjiang to become a global financial center in the future!" "I firmly believe that the Hong Kong Financial Market, which has a complete financial system, will one day shine in the world with the support of all of us." "The future of Xiangjiang will be infinitely brilliant!" "Thank you!" "it is good!" "Good point!" "Papa..." After Xia Yu bowed and thanked him, the audience once again heard warm applause and applause one after another. What they value is the stock god''s attitude towards Xiangjiang and the Xiangjiang financial market. The stock **** Xia Yu can be said to be the banner of Xiangjiang''s financial and business circles. His great confidence in Xiangjiang will naturally affect countless people''s firm beliefs. I don''t know how many people secretly believe that the Hong Kong stock market is about to explode, and now is the time to bring capital into the market again. Next, Xia Yu personally participated in the ribbon cutting and unveiling. After the unveiling, the gongs and drums were loud and the firecrackers rang. When the market opened at ten o''clock, the lobby of the United Stock Exchange was crowded with people. The crowds of investors looked up at the huge electronic screens hanging around. And all the financial investment institutions of HeungKong are all ready. Xia Yu and others went to the second floor, waiting to witness the opening of the United Stock Exchange. As ten o''clock arrives, the stock market officially opens! Countless huge amounts of funds quickly rushed into the market, rushing into the stock transactions of hundreds of listed companies on the trading board, and boosted the Hang Seng Index to jump 3.27% at the opening, from 1,000% last weekend. Three hundred and eight points rose to 1,350 points! And the Hang Seng Index continues to rise. Seeing this increase with their own eyes, all investors on the exchange were excited. But after all, there are hundreds of listed companies, and their popularity and potential are naturally uneven, and each investor''s opinion is different. Therefore, it is almost full-scale as soon as possible, but there are still large-scale sell orders, and the stock market trading volume has been soaring. When the listing was closed, the Hang Seng Index was fixed at 1,386 points, and the total trading volume on that day reached more than 1.94 billion Hong Kong dollars! It shows how crazy investors are! The trading volume in a single morning almost reached the full-day trading volume estimated by Bao Yugang and others. They are all top bosses with aloof mentality, and they can''t help but lament that they have missed their eyes. By the end of the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index was frozen at 1426. At the peak of the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index rushed to 1,437, but it fell back when the market closed later. But even so, on this day the Hang Seng Index rose by 9.02% compared with the closing of the four sessions last weekend! The total amount of transactions on that day reached a staggering 4.37 billion Hong Kong dollars! Although it is not as good as the peak daily trading volume of over tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars before the stock market crash last year, it is already extremely alarming under the current circumstances. After all, in the last two months, the average daily trading volume of the stock market was only about 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and today it is eight times the volume. This data is definitely a good start! The Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange became a hit! In the evening, Global Satellite TV reported on the situation of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Through Global Satellite TV''s coverage throughout Southeast Asia, the news of the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange spread to all parts of the world at an extremely fast speed. Tuesday, October 12th. On this day, the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange was pushed to a higher wave by the rekindled investors. Although the Hang Seng Index did not rise too high that day, it only rose to 1,453 points, but the daily trading volume exceeded the first day, reaching 4.69 billion Hong Kong dollars. On Wednesday, the daily trading volume of the stock market dropped slightly, which could hold the 4 billion Hong Kong dollar line. But on Thursday and Friday, as the stock prices of major companies have less room to rise, the daily trading volume of the stock market has been falling. By Friday, the daily trading volume had fallen by 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to only about 2.86 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although the Hang Seng Index once broke through the 1,500-point line, In the end, it was closed at 1492, which is a pity. Wait until the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange operates for three weeks. The daily trading volume of the stock market has stabilized at around 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars. On October 29, the Hang Seng Index also rose to 1,569 points. Xia Yu could see that with the past three weeks, institutions and investors have recovered their calm. The Hang Seng Index has also fluctuated around 1,500, but it has more ups and downs, and the general trend is always going up. . This result, compared to more than two months ago, before the establishment of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the implementation of the new HeungKong Securities Exchange Law, and the formal operation of the HeungKong United Stock Exchange, is already considered excellent. After all, the scale of daily trading volume It is equivalent to more than three times. But Xia Yu was not satisfied. In his view, there is still a lot of potential in the Hong Kong stock market that has not been stimulated. Before the stock market crash broke out last year, he did not intervene in planning, and the Hang Seng Index could rise to more than 1,800 points. Now the political situation in Hong Kong has stabilized and the financial market order is more perfect. Although the daily trading volume of Hong Kong stock market can rank second in Asia, it has been pulled by a gap of six or seven times by the island country. In the final analysis, the problem is that the number of companies listed on the Hong Kong River is not only small, but the average quality is not as good as that of island countries. The gap with island countries is so big, let alone the gap with exchanges in countries such as Britain and the United States. This is the fundamental problem! It seems that we must find a way to stimulate the Hong Kong stock market... PS: It¡¯s updated today. Part-time writing is like this. Whenever I encounter overtime, I will seriously plan to update. Forgive me https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1160: 5 billion small profit "Chairman!" "Chairman, I have kept you waiting!" Looking at Liu Tianci and Wang Qi who came in, Xia Yu showed a smile: "Very good spirits." "Hey, I can''t help but be happy when I watch the stock market come back up now and the financial market is full of vitality." "The company has made a lot of money in this stock market boom, and this drive has also increased." Liu Tianci and Wang Qi answered with a smile one after another. Xia Yu is interested. "Sit down first and tell me how much you made this time." After Liu Tianci and Wang Qi sat down on the sofa, Wang Qi pondered for a moment and reported to Xia Yuhui: "Chairman, a few months ago, the Hang Seng Index was less than 1,000 points, so I mobilized a large amount of funds to enter the stock market. Going long, a total of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars has been invested in capital, and 5 billion of funds have been used to buy stocks of the highest quality companies." "Now the Hang Seng Index has risen by nearly 600 points compared to before we entered the market, and we buy high-quality companies, which are the main force driving the Hang Seng Index. The stock prices of these companies have nearly doubled on average." "Now we just bought stocks with a special investment of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the previous period, which has a book value of 10.4 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Fuying reached 5.4 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Oh, and also, as for the stocks we bought bottoms after the stock market crash last year, their value has now doubled at least twice." "Not bad!" Xia Yu expressed appreciation and said with satisfaction. The floating profit of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars will only continue to strengthen in the current situation of the Hong Kong stock market. Without concentrated mass sales, it will definitely be enough to turn the floating profit of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars into real profits. The floating profit of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars can be regarded as the hard work of building an exchange. As for the long-term earnings of the stocks that had bottomed out last year, Xia Yu did not pay attention. Even if Wang Qi didn''t say anything, based on the liquidity scale of the entire Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. which raised more than 26 billion Hong Kong dollars last year, and the investment in the market, the profit would be guessed. Now Jiuding Securities has become an Asian securities giant with assets of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. Those who are eligible to fight with Jiuding Securities have none in Hong Kong, and only those multinational securities companies and investment banks. "Well, I won''t talk about the details of the company''s operations, you just need to grasp it well." Xia Yu said with a faint smile, not intending to talk long on this topic. "I called you over today, mainly to talk about the stock market." "Although the daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market has tripled compared to before, there is still a large part of my market''s potential that has not been stimulated." Hearing this, Liu Tianci''s smile on his face, who was still a little happy, disappeared in an instant, and he threw himself up, waiting for Xia Yu''s next words. As for rebuttal? He didn''t even think about it. "How many companies are listed on the stock exchange now? How many types of bonds are listed?" Xia Yu asked suddenly. Liu Tianci recalled a little, and replied: "There are 269 company stocks and 136 kinds of bonds." Xia Yu did not comment, but continued to ask: "What about the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange?" "You studied the patterns of these stock exchanges before, do you remember the data?" "Chairman, let me think about it." Liu Tianci suddenly condensed his eyebrows, recalling with all his might. Liu Tianci must have read the data of these two stock exchanges before, but it was a long time since his memory was blurred. After a long time, he said uncertainly: "I remember the data from the beginning of this year. The New York Stock Exchange has more than 2,400 listed company stocks. There are more than 3,300 US companies, foreign companies, US government, and international companies. Bank bonds." "As for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, I don''t remember well." Xia Yu did not blame him, nodded to him with a smile, then looked at Wang Qi, and said: "Wang Qi, Godsend is not in the securities industry after all. Jiuding Securities is also developing well in Tokyo. You should always know the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Data?" "Chairman, I know." "Last month''s data showed that there were 923 listed companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and 1,997 listed bonds." Wang Qi replied very simply. Xia Yu nodded slightly: "This is still the data of each stock exchange in the United States and the island country, but there is more than one domestic exchange in the two countries." "If it is expanded to these two countries, it is no longer limited to a certain stock exchange. What are the differences?" This is difficult. After all, Jiuding Securities has been in the United States and island countries for two years. Although these data are not particularly important, Wang Qi has also seen it in many internal analysis reports of the company, so he also remembered it. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "At the time of the statistics in the first half of this year, the major stock exchanges in the United States had a total of 5,559 listed companies, and there were 7,628 types of bonds. first." "All stock exchanges in the island country have a total of 1,429 listed companies and 1,938 types of bonds. It ranks third in the world, after the United States and the United Kingdom." "well!" Xia Yu praised. Then he looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there a big gap?" "Great!" Liu Tianci and Wang Qi looked sad, nodded and said. "The gap is huge." "But we have to think based on reality. After all, Xiangjiang is just a small city, and it certainly cannot be compared with the United States and the island countries." "To think about it from another angle, if you talk about the number of listed companies per capita, Xiangjiang can actually rank first in the world." At the end, Xia Yu showed a smile, but this smile was a little strange. Liu Tianci and Wang Qi couldn''t help but twitched at the corners of their lips, but they didn''t dare to laugh. Xia Yu pretended not to see the two people feeling uncomfortable, and he continued to say: "Although there are many listed companies per capita, it is undeniable that there are many junk stocks among them." "This is a problem left over from history. When the four major exchanges went hand in hand, especially before the stock market crash in 1973, in order to compete for the market, the four major exchanges set the company¡¯s listing threshold to a very low level. Collect money." "Although in the past few years, many junk stocks have been acquired and listed on the backdoor, which has improved the quality of listed companies on the stock market, the average quality is still far lower than that of the island countries and the United States." "Leave aside, the market capitalization of the three top companies in the U.S. stock market adds up to the total size of the Hong Kong stock market! This is the gap!" Liu Tianci and Wang Qi were silent, neither of them had any feelings in their hearts. The original pride of the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange for achieving good results has disappeared. Thinking about it carefully, they are now like frogs at the bottom of a well, sitting in the well and watching the sky. "So the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange has a long way to go." "But you have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step. Rome was not built in a day. As long as we settle down and develop, there is always a way." "The number of Hong Kong listed companies must increase as soon as possible. The more the number, the bigger the cake and the more capital it attracts." Hearing this, Liu Tianci said: ¡°Chairman, now the exchange¡¯s listing threshold has been raised a lot, only the net assets are above 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and they have five years of good operating performance. It can be listed after being reviewed by an exchange." "Currently, there are not many companies in Xiangjiang that fully meet this requirement. After the opening of the exchange, there are currently only 27 companies that have submitted information and are queuing for listing review." "Of course, there are still some company assets that meet the specifications, but because they have been established for less than five years or have unstable business performance, they do not meet the listing requirements." "For example, the companies in our group are definitely HeungKong''s top quality companies, but many of them have been established for less than five years." "This threshold..." Xia Yu knew what Liu Tianci wanted to express. Before he could finish speaking, he shook his head and rejected: "The threshold cannot be lowered. Although our threshold is higher than before, it is still higher than the United States and island countries. There is a certain gap." "If it drops again, it will only destroy the market and ruin the foundation of the exchange, and the gain will outweigh the loss." When Xia Yu said this, Liu Tianci naturally stopped, and decided in his heart that he would never mention this matter again. In fact, he is not willing to lower the threshold and put some garbage companies in to entrap investors. Xia Yu said with a smile: "There are so many companies in Xiangjiang and Omen. Since it is hard to find, look at the entire Southeast Asia." "There is no stock exchange in Southeast Asia that can compare to our and no country''s financial market can compare to Xiangjiang." "Also throughout Southeast Asia, most of the wealth is in the hands of major Chinese families." "You can go to them and persuade them to put the company in Xiangjiang to go public." "Although the entire Southeast Asia does not have a prosperous island country, the population of Southeast Asia is five times that of an island country, and various resources are also quite abundant. The potential lies there." "Although there are stock exchanges in Southeast Asian countries, they are either in poor operating conditions or small in scale. They are simply not comparable to Hong Kong." "If the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can be turned into a holy place for listing in the minds of companies in Southeast Asia, backed by the entire Southeast Asia, it is absolutely qualified to build the Hong Kong Stock Exchange into a world-class exchange." "After the rise of the mainland, if it is operated properly, it is very likely that the Heung Kong United Stock Exchange will become the world''s number one. You can even look forward to the position of the New York Stock Exchange in the world." Of course, that¡¯s the case, but Xia Yu doesn¡¯t have any hope of surpassing the New York Stock Exchange. Think about the total market value of nearly $20 trillion in future generations, which is three times that of the second-place Nasdaq Stock Exchange. More than four times that of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and six times that of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange! Even if he gave the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange a big gold finger in this life, it is almost impossible to catch up with the New York Stock Exchange. But looking forward, you have to set a lofty goal. I am determined to become the second in the world, and how it sounds unpleasant, it is too compelling. PS: Do you think, which non-core companies of the protagonist are suitable for listing? In addition, ask for a recommended monthly pass, thank you! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1161: 8 leading companies preparing to go public "Chairman, I remember. After I go back, I will call a meeting with everyone to re-determine the development strategy." Liu Tianci humbly accepted Xia Yu''s suggestion and replied respectfully. After speaking, he added: "Chairman, in a short period of time, there may not be much results, but I will strengthen management and find ways to stimulate the stock market." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said after thinking about it: "Well, now the stock market has regained its vitality, and the listing of high-quality companies will no longer be undervalued by the capital market." "I will take out some companies to go public to stimulate the stock market." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Wang Qi and Liu Tianci were both very surprised and suddenly looked at Chairman Xia Yu. After confirming that Xia Yu didn''t just say it casually, Liu Tianci asked expectantly: "Chairman, which companies are you planning to go public?" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "I am also a temporary conscious, not yet determined." "However, the bottom line is that the most core companies cannot be listed. Sub-core companies and non-core companies that can achieve higher P/E ratios will be listed." "Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities will certainly not be listed." "I will select which ones to choose in the next few days, and I will tell you then." "Ok." Liu Tianci nodded obediently, and didn''t ask more. After inquiring about some other things later, Liu Tianci left first, and Xia Yu left Wang Qi behind and asked about the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. The Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange has been in operation for more than 20 days. For the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange, the time is ripe. The key depends on whether the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange itself is ready. "Wang Qi, are the preparations of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange ready?" "Chairman, I just want to report this to you. The new "Management Regulations" and "Trading Rules" have been made, such as HSI futures, Nikkei 225 stock index futures, FTSE 100 stock index futures and natural rubber futures. All four commodities are also ready, and the futures exchange is now conducting internal simulation tests." "It''s just that our futures exchange is not a fresh start like the United Stock Exchange. It is still operating every working day, so we can only use the internal simulation test after the market is closed every day, so the progress is relatively slow." "The initial plan discussed by the company is to also hold a press conference on Monday, November 15 to announce the implementation of the new policy and launch four major futures commodities." "But before that, we have to carry out large-scale publicity first to avoid a deserted transaction." Wang Qi reported in detail. "Have you figured it all out?" "Now take me over and see." After Xia Yu pondered slightly, he told Wang Qi that he could only make a decision after seeing it with his own eyes. "Ok." ... In the following morning, Xia Yu and Wang Qi came to the Heung Kong Futures Exchange in Central on Hong Kong Island. He first learned about the current situation of the futures exchange, and then checked various systems and four futures commodities from the data. When the market was closed at noon, the door of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange was closed, and the internal simulation operation test began. Xia Yu personally experienced it and did various limit tests, but did not find any problems, so he was relieved. Then he made an on-the-spot decision on the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange and held a press conference on November 15 to activate the new regulations and launch the four major futures commodities. The publicity work will officially begin after he leaves this afternoon. Xia Yu even authorized Wang Qi to use the media resources of the entire consortium to promote the new regulations of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange and the upcoming four major futures commodities to the point where everyone knows. Must attract more investors and capital to enter. Sure enough, related news appeared on Global Satellite TV''s "News 30 Minutes" and the Financial Channel that night. After the news was released, all interested people became active. The next day, the newspapers also carried out all-round publicity reports on these matters. The Xiangjiang Futures Exchange was full that day. Although many people came to inquire about the real situation, there were also some institutions directly stationed in them, ready to find out the situation in advance. The news about the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange is not only promoted in Asia, but also in the United States and Europe. The purpose is to attract as many financial institutions as possible. The focus of publicity is, of course, the geographical advantage of Xiangjiang, which can connect with London and New York. FTSE 100 index futures are already traded in the United Kingdom and the United States. Once Hong Kong is also launched, financial institutions will have more time to operate and earn more profits. This is equivalent to adding to the original cake. Adding a layer, this is something that all financial institutions are willing to see. As for the Nikkei 225 index futures, as the world''s first futures, it is backed by the now prosperous economy and stock market of the island country. It is definitely an excellent investment futures, and it must be a big cake when it appears. Therefore, after learning the news, many financial institutions in Europe and the United States were excited. But the news reached the island country, but it was a different situation. But Xia Yu didn''t care about the clamor and irritation of the island people. This was expected and not worthy of his attention. ... At the time when the entire Xiangjiang public opinion focused on the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange, Xia Yu simply sorted out his own assets in Xiangjiang and took two days to screen out eight companies for listing. These eight companies only come from the four group companies of Jiuding Cultural Media Group, Jiuding Industrial Group, Jiuding Real Estate Group and Jiuding Energy Group. Among them, Jiuding Culture Media Group has nine companies including Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Jiuding Printing Factory, Universal Television, Universal Music Group, Universal Theater Company, and Galaxy Film Company in Xiangjiang. Registered first-level subsidiary. Xia Yu only intends to go public with the Galaxy Film Company, which is the leader in the film industry. One is that the market leader status halo will add to the stock price, and the second is because of "Alien E¡¤T", the Galaxy Film Company This year''s profits will be extremely high, which can greatly stimulate the stock price of Galaxy Films. As for other companies, either companies like Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding News Agency and Universal Television cannot be listed, or the strategic layouts of Universal Music Group and Universal Cinemas have not yet been completed and are not suitable for listing for the time being. However, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. still has huge potential to be tapped, and its profitability is superb. It is much more important than Galaxy Film Company and should not be listed. Under the Jiuding Energy Group, the two largest first-tier subsidiaries are the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company and China Gas Company. The former is the leader in electric power, which is stronger than the China Power Company under Jiuding Industrial Group. It does not matter if it becomes a listed company again. After all, in Xia Yu''s future planning, the listing of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company will not have any impact. The same is true for China Gas. Although it is the only supplier in the Heung Kong Gas market, China Gas is only at the end of the gas industry. Although it is important, it is not particularly important, as long as it has an absolute controlling stake. There are many subsidiaries under Jiuding Real Estate Group. Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has the most assets. It is the king of Xiangjiang Real Estate. It has the most land reserves and the most real estate under development. If it is listed on the market, it will definitely shock the market. . But this is different from Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate, which is a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Group. Once Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is listed, the Hong Kong real estate industry that he has managed to suppress will be stimulated to rejuvenate. This is his own face. . In Xia Yu''s mind, the biggest role of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. in Xiangjiang is to develop large quantities of low-cost real estate, and to suppress the housing real estate market. There is no conflict between suppressing housing prices and making profits. As long as the housing prices are suppressed, the land price will naturally not rise to the sky. In fact, the profit margin is equally large, and money can also be made. The common people do not have such great pressure to buy houses, and the society has funds. It can flow and create greater value. Among the Jiuding Real Estate Group, the one to be listed is Jiuding Hotel Management Group, which owns Marco Polo Hotel, Cultural Hotel, Peninsula Hotel and other hotel brands. The profit rate of the hotel industry is not much higher, and it is also not the core area. However, it requires huge funds for expansion. It is just right to go public. At the same time, the status of a listed company can also enable many shareholders to become shareholders. For Jiuding Hotel Management Group The popularity and the market have a huge boost, and the benefits of listing are great. Under the Jiuding Industrial Group, the most companies that are going to be listed are Milk Company, Jiuding Transportation Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group and Cathay Pacific Airways. After the assets of the dairy company were divested, only ice-making, refrigeration, and dairy fields remain. In the dairy field, there is a wholly-owned subsidiary Bright Dairy Company, which also operates ranches in Australia and New Zealand. The dairy company is in these three fields. Leader of a group. Jiuding Transportation Group owns two non-listed companies, Xiangjiang Tram and Star Ferry, as well as a 45% equity and operating right of a listed Kowloon Bus Co., Ltd., and the other 3% of Kowloon Bus Co., Ltd. More than a dozen shares are held in the hands of companies such as Jiuding Securities. Jiuding Transportation Group, also the leader in the Xiangjiang transportation market, monopolizes Hong Kong''s buses and trams, and at the same time occupies a large share of the ferry market. The Hutchison Whampoa Group has only two secondary subsidiaries, namely the Hutchison Whampoa Port Company, which monopolizes 21 of the 24 Hong Kong terminals, and the Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Company. Hutchison Whampoa Group wants to become a global port operation group in the future. It needs to acquire or build new ports and terminals in countries all over the world. This requires too much capital. Xia Yu did not want to spend too much money here, so he decided to pay Give investors support. The last Cathay Pacific Airways can be regarded as a secondary subsidiary of Jiuding Industrial Group and the largest subsidiary of Cathay Pacific Airways Group. As for the Cathay Pacific Group''s Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company and Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, Xia Yu does not intend to list them. The main reason for choosing Cathay Pacific Airways is that this company is in need of funds most in the future. In the future, it wants to become an international aviation giant. Whether it is mergers and acquisitions or purchasing new aircraft, it consumes too much money, and it simply throws it out for listing. , It¡¯s okay to let investors come to raise up together, and divide some profits. Moreover, the status of Cathay Pacific Airways as a listed company also helps it increase its visibility outside of Hong Kong and expand and consolidate the market. Each of the eight companies is at least the leader in one field, or even the only monopolist. When they are listed on the market, they can all enjoy the halo bonus of the market leader. These eight companies are able to hold large amounts of funds to go public, which is definitely enough to stimulate the vitality of the Hong Kong stock market. However, Xia Yu did not want to be a wealthy boy and was treated as a fool. Even if it is listed, most of the profits from the underwriting listing will be eaten by himself. His Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is the largest listed underwriter. Jiuding Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Sun Hung Kai Securities are also the main market underwriters. Of course, the profits from the underwriting listing have to be earned by themselves, and there is no need for others to make it. Furthermore, even if it goes public, he will at most take out 25% of the equity to go public, and the remaining 75% of the equity will still be in his hands. This is to prevent infiltration. As long as he holds this shareholding ratio, whoever dares to think badly or attack him, he can easily shoot the enemy to death. The way these eight companies went public, except for Galaxy Film Company, Jiuding Transportation Group and Jiuding Group Management Group, because their registration period was less than , they could not go through the normal listing process and could only go public by backdoor. The other five companies They are all old listed companies, so they are all prepared to go through the normal listing process. It just so happens that Xiangjiang stock market still has a lot of "historical stocks". Take advantage of this opportunity to clear out the three junk stocks and replace them with Galaxy Film Company, Jiuding Transportation Group and Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Because the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission actually controlled him behind the scenes, the time-consuming process of listing his five companies could be greatly shortened. Previously, Foxconn was able to give the green light all the way when it was listed on the mainland. It only took 36 days to complete the A-share listing process, which he could complete within one month. After all, the five companies, including Hutchison Whampoa Group and Cathay Pacific Airways, were originally listed companies. Various mechanisms and materials have been retained. They are experienced veterans and do not need to make detours. And Xia Yu also intends to let his largest standard law firm and standard accounting firm in Hong Kong provide full assistance. It will be completely OK within one month! After the decision, Xia Yu immediately summoned Liu Tianci and Wang Qi and assigned them tasks. The next day, the news was announced. Suddenly, the entire HeungKong capital market was boiling, and they were looking forward to these eight companies. The impact continues to spread to the surrounding countries. The capital of Southeast Asian countries, island countries, South Korea, Australia and other countries rushed to the Xiangjiang River like a shark smelling blood. This November is destined to be an extraordinary month... PS: Based on the opinions of everyone yesterday, these eight companies were selected for listing. Thank you for your comments. Today the two chapters are in one, and it''s the end of the month, ask for a recommended monthly pass! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1162: The top 3 banks are mine (I wish you all the Mid-Autumn Festival... When Xia Yu was building a financial market in Hong Kong, the British banking market was undergoing tremendous changes. The three people who have been caught in the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America have been saving themselves, and the British government is also doing its best to help resolve the crisis. But the situation of the three banks, Barclays Bank, National Westminster Bank and HSBC Holdings, is very different. The best situation is the National Westminster Bank, which is not much different from the largest bank Barclays, but its debt is about three-fifths of Barclays. The veteran family behind the National Westminster Bank is certainly not an opponent of the Rohill family, but together, in the United Kingdom, it is not weaker than the Rohill family. There are the most ways to save themselves, and the British government¡¯s The relationship is also the deepest. The second best situation is not HSBC Holdings, but Barclays Bank, which has the most debt in crisis. Barclays Bank has the largest amount of debt and the greatest risk, but the Rohill family is too powerful and has been continuously raising funds, changing tricks to deal with the run. Although the Bright Fund has been controlling public opinion behind the scenes, as time passed, Barclays Bank continued to use cash to allow depositors to withdraw funds. Over time, the panic of depositors gradually dissipated. Therefore, after the market value of Barclays Bank fell below 4 billion pounds, although the market value is still shrinking, the rate of decline has slowed down significantly. It''s just that Barclays Bank has been selling assets and allowing depositors to withdraw funds, which has reduced the bank''s total assets by more than tens of billions of dollars. HSBC Holdings is in the worst situation. The reason is actually very simple. First, Latin America has less debt but not a low proportion of bank assets. Second, the shareholders behind the scenes are not as strong as Barclays Bank and National Westminster Bank. HSBC Holdings holds US$6.94 billion in sovereign debt and lent more than US$7.53 billion to companies in Latin America and other countries, reaching a total of US$14.47 billion, less than Barclays The sixth floor of the bank is about $1.6 billion less than the National Westminster Bank. But before the outbreak of the crisis, HSBC Holdings had total bank assets of just over US$57.133 billion and total deposits of around US$53.4 billion. The total bank assets are equivalent to about 65% of the National Westminster Bank, and the total deposits are equivalent to about 66% of the National Westminster Bank. However, the proportion of risky debt to the bank''s total assets reached 25.3%, which was 1.5% less than the 26.8% of Barclays Bank. This is not more serious. British HSBC Holdings is the parent company of Hongkong HSBC Bank, and Hongkong HSBC Bank is the core subsidiary of HSBC Holdings, occupying more than four floors of HSBC Holdings'' total assets. However, the sovereign debt and risky loans held by Hong Kong HSBC only occupy less than two tiers of HSBC Holdings. If the debt and assets of Hong Kong HSBC Bank are divested to calculate. The risk debt ratio of HSBC Holdings in the UK has reached a staggering 40%! National Westminster Bank, which far exceeds Barclays Bank! This kind of insider data is what HSBC Holdings is trying to hide. But who made the Bright Fund one of the shareholders of HSBC Holdings in the UK? George Berkeley also calculated secretly. Naturally, people have already figured out the situation and secretly ordered people to send these secret data to non-Bright newspapers. There. Therefore, after the secret data was exposed, HSBC Holdings fell into dire straits and became the closest large bank to bankruptcy. The British government has spent the greatest effort to support HSBC Holdings, and the major shareholders behind the bank have also been forced to rescue. But even so, it still cannot prevent the rapid loss of HSBC Holdings'' assets. The total assets of HSBC Holdings have fallen below US$50 billion, which makes HSBC Holdings¡¯ risk-to-liability ratio more than 55% excluding the calculation of HSBC. Even if there is no bankruptcy, HSBC Holdings has become a junk stock, and its market value has shrunk extremely seriously. From the original market value of more than 4.3 billion pounds before the outbreak of the crisis, it directly fell below one billion pounds. But the stock is still no one cares about. The risk of bankruptcy is too great. At this time, more than 3,000 banks around the world were involved in the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America, and few major European and American banks escaped. Like the four major banks in the UK, only Lloyds Bank was lucky to escape. The assets of other banks are less than one. It is too late to hide from HSBC. Where can I dare to take over? Lloyd''s Bank, which had survived the disaster, also did not dare to jump into the pit. To receive the order, it is to wait for HSBC Holdings to go bankrupt and grab some high-quality assets. But what makes many people dumbfounded is that there are people who dare to take over HSBC Holdings. That is the Bright Fund, one of the UK''s large financial institutions! In the beginning, the Bright Fund was just buying the stocks of HSBC Holdings that nobody bought on the stock market, and no one noticed it. Moreover, the Bright Fund itself is a shareholder and director of HSBC Holdings, and there is no need to disclose the increase in shares. It was not until the Bright Fund had absorbed more than 30% of the stock in the stock market within two days and increased its shareholding to more than 35% before it was found out by the agency and aroused heated discussion. But HSBC Holdings'' stock price also failed to rise. Because when George Berkeley did not mobilize media resources to create positive public opinion, public opinion was generally not optimistic about the actions of the Bright Fund. This is exactly what George Berkeley wanted. He approached Margaret Thatcher directly, and after some discussions, he won strong support from the British government. Then, with the help of the British government, he found those shareholders of HSBC Holdings who had not sold their shares. It''s not that these shareholders don''t want to sell their stocks. They are also worried that they will be implicated in tens of billions of dollars in debt after the bank goes bankrupt, and they will also advance other family assets. But these major shareholders are all being watched by the British government, prohibiting them from selling stocks, which makes the situation worse, and also allowing them to raise funds to maintain HSBC Holdings'' capital chain. This makes these shareholders envy those scattered stocks and a small number of holding institutions, but also miserable. Now the British government has lifted the ban on them and allowed them to privately transfer their stocks to the Bright Fund to take over. They all agreed to them and proposed that they must be transferred at a real-time stock price. As for the premium? No one dared to mention, after all, if they were to sell their stocks off the stock market, it would definitely be enough to crash the stock price again, and they would not be able to sell all of their equity. Now that it can be transferred at a fair price, it can be regarded as a very high requirement. It''s just that George Berkeley is not stupid. He seized the opportunity to press down the price. These shareholders also had to pinch their noses to agree. In the end, all the shares were bought at an average of 92% off the current price. Subsequently, with the assistance of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Bright Fund quickly completed the privatization. The entire operation cost a total of 784.26 million pounds, and HSBC Holdings, which had a market value of more than 4.66 billion pounds before the outbreak of the crisis, was bought. The whole process took only eighteen days! Highly efficient and shocking people''s attention. But as HSBC Holdings is wholly-owned by Bright Fund, this also means that more than 10 billion US dollars of risky debt is also shrouded in Bright Fund. Once HSBC Holdings goes bankrupt, then the parent company Bright Fund will have to fill it with assets. This has also caused investors in some private or public funds opened by Bright Fund to be worried, and some even plan to redeem their funds to avoid being dragged down by Bright Fund. But George Berkeley was not alarmed. He had considered this a long time ago, so he had applied for help with Xia Yu, and he had obtained Xia Yu''s instructions before daring to go to Margaret Thatcher to make a major promise. On the second day of the wholly-owned holding of HSBC Holdings by Bright Fund, Bright Fund jointly held a press conference with HSBC Holdings and the Governor of the Bank of England. The whole conference was broadcast live by the BBC. At the press conference, George Berkeley announced that without moving the company¡¯s funds, the company¡¯s shareholders collectively raised 10 billion US dollars and deposited all of them in HSBC Holdings¡¯ accounts, expressing their support and trust in HSBC Holdings. At the press conference, the deposit receipt was also displayed. The Governor of the Bank of England testified on the spot that the Bright Fund had indeed deposited US$10 billion into the bank account of HSBC Holdings. It was precisely because George Berkeley proposed this feasible plan when he approached Margaret Thatcher that he won the full support of the British government. After the press conference was held, the entire United Kingdom was shocked by Bright Fund¡¯s generous efforts, and the crisis of HSBC Holdings was directly suppressed to a minimum. Subsequently, the influence quickly spread to the world, and the name of the Bright Fund resonated throughout the world. In fact, this tens of billions of dollars of funds was temporarily lent to Guangming after being pooled together by banks such as Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank, Island Chiba Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank. For funds, Bright Fund will deposit it into HSBC Holdings. The reason why these banks are not allowed to face the support of HSBC Holdings is that they do not want to reveal their strength, and the identity of the banks is too sensitive. It involves the deep-seated HSBC Holdings. If public opinion does not control it well, it is easy to drag these banks into the water. . Therefore, Xia Yu chose to let the Bright Fund top the top, and at the same time used this opportunity to let the Bright Fund advertise in the world. Facts have proved that this tens of billions of dollars of advertising is extremely effective. At least, Margaret Thatcher has a deeper understanding of Xia Yu''s strength. After all, there are very few people who can mobilize 10 billion US dollars of liquidity in a short period of time. Bright Fund acquired HSBC Holdings, and naturally owns 54.7% of its subsidiary Hong Kong HSBC. In addition, Jiuding Securities now holds 39.7% of the shares of Hongkong and HSBC Bank. The Hong Kong HSBC Bank has been controlled by Xia Yu with 94.4% of the shares, and the remaining small part is scattered in the Hong Kong stock market. While the leaders of the political and business circles were still lamenting the change of ownership of HSBC Holdings and the strength of the Bright Fund, they did not know that Xia Yu had firmly established himself as the hegemon of the banking industry. Hong Kong¡¯s largest Jiuding Bank, the second largest Hong Kong HSBC Bank, and the third largest Standard Chartered Bank, all belong to Xia Yu! PS: It''s the beginning of the month, ask for a recommended monthly pass, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Happy reunion! I also wish the motherland a prosperous and peaceful country! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1163: The financial landscape once again covers 1 continent While the Bright Fund was buying HSBC Holdings in a big way in the UK, it was secretly buying the shares of Barclays Bank. Having been in the quagmire for so long, the market value of Barclays Bank has already broken 4 billion pounds. The Bright Fund first went dark and then revealed. A total of 14.5% of the equity was acquired from the stock market for a total of 497 million pounds. George Berkeley wanted to buy more shares, but when he acquired more than 11% of the shares, he was discovered by the Rohill family. Afterwards, the Rothschild family immediately invested funds to raise funds, so that the Bright Fund did not increase its shareholding ratio to more than 15%. Unfortunately, it missed the third board seat. However, the initial planned 10% equity and two director seats are completed. After the Bright Fund entered the Barclays Bank, the Rothschild family was furious, but they had no choice but to temporarily let it go, waiting for future opportunities to clear the Bright Fund out. Xia Yu, who was far away in Xiangjiang, couldn''t help laughing in the office after learning the details. As for Standard Chartered Bank, the plan is also very smooth. Although Standard Chartered Bank of South Africa is the largest commercial bank in South Africa, it is also the largest commercial bank in Africa. However, due to Africa''s economic backwardness, the total assets of South Africa''s Standard Chartered Bank is actually only 5.4 billion U.S. dollars. The original market value before the outbreak of the crisis was only more than 320 million U.S. dollars. After falling into the vortex of the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, South Africa''s Standard Chartered Bank''s stock price was cut in half. Standard Chartered Bank already holds 39% of South Africa''s Standard Chartered Bank, so it is not difficult to acquire other shareholders'' shares. When the market value of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa fell below US$150 million, Standard Chartered Bank, for efficiency, made acquisitions at a premium. Finally, at a cost of 98.6 million US dollars, the South African Standard Chartered Bank was privatized and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank. In this way, Xia Yu also reached out to South Africa, the most developed country in Africa. There are representative banks in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa. Although there are no representative banks in Oceania and South America, whether it is HSBC, Royal Scottish Bank or Standard Chartered Bank, all have branches in these two continents, and they have considerable influence together. ... Let''s talk about the Xiangjiang side. After half a month of bombing propaganda, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange is about to reform and the news of the launch of the four major commodity futures not only spread throughout Southeast Asia and the island countries, but also European and American countries. There are hundreds of financial institutions in Xiangjiang, among which at least half of the branches of international financial institutions, none of them are willing to miss the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. In the past half month, apart from carefully studying the rules of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange and the information on the four major futures, these financial institutions have done one thing most. That''s currency exchange! Convert all currencies such as U.S. dollars, pound sterling, and yen into Hong Kong dollars. Because the only trading currency of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange is the Hong Kong dollar. According to statistics from the Monetary Authority, in less than half a month, HeungKong''s various foreign exchanges have increased by more than 3.2 billion US dollars! This means that in less than half a month, more than 3.2 billion US dollars of foreign capital has flowed into Xiangjiang. Some of these funds are temporarily left in the account, ready to enter the futures market. And some, after analyzing the long-term upward trend of the Hong Kong stock market, they directly invested in the stock market, directly stimulating the daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market to exceed 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. In a blink of an eye, it was November 15th. This day is also Monday. Not far from the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange held a grand ceremony. The specifications of the ceremony were not inferior to the establishment of the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange, and Xia Yu once again appeared as the platform of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. Subsequently, in the eyes of the public, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange opened and launched natural rubber futures-hk101 futures contracts, Hang Seng Index futures, Nikkei 225 stock index futures and London FTSE 100 stock index futures. Among them, the natural rubber hk101 contract is supported by a number of Southeast Asian rubber giants such as the Kepong Group. The futures exchange stipulates that one lot is 10 tons, the minimum change unit is 5 Hong Kong dollars per ton, and the minimum trading margin is 10%. On November 15, the spot price of natural rubber was 10,92 Hong Kong dollars per ton. Because natural rubber futures transactions have costs such as delivery fees, warehouse inspection fees, storage fees, transfer fees, transaction fees, capital borrowing costs, and value-added tax, the futures contract price is much lower than the spot price. The price of the first purchase order listed by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was 9,645 Hong Kong dollars per ton, and the first contract was 100 lots, which was worth close to 10 million Hong Kong dollars. If the future price of natural rubber futures is higher than this price, Jiuding Securities will naturally make a profit. If it is lower than this price, then it will naturally be a loss. For Hang Seng Index futures, the total price of one contract is the latest contract point of the Hang Seng Index futures multiplied by fifty times the Hong Kong dollar, with a minimum change of one point. The trading rules of Hang Seng Index futures. The Hang Seng Index futures contracts are four months in this month, next month and the next two months. The trading hours are the same as those of the rubber stock market. The entrusted margin rate for Hang Seng Index futures is 9% , The transaction margin rate is 6%, and the handling fee is 5%. The trading rules of Nikkei 225 stock index futures and FTSE 100 stock index futures are consistent with those of the Hang Seng Index futures contract. Just because the Nikkei 225 stock index has more than 8,200 points, which is the highest of the three indexes, this also means that the cost of each Nikkei 225 stock index futures contract is also the highest, worth more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. After the four major futures commodities were launched, funds that had been waiting for a long time poured in quickly. Compared with the natural rubber hk101 contract, the trading of the other three major financial stock index futures is more active. Of course, among the three major futures, the trading volume of the Hang Seng Index futures is the least, because the number of long orders far exceeds that of short orders, which makes it difficult to increase the trading volume. This also reflects that capital is generally bullish on the Hong Kong stock market. The largest trading volume is the first appearance of Nikkei 225 stock index futures. One hour after the market opened, the trading volume of Nikkei 225 stock index futures reached 130 lots, with a turnover exceeding 50 million Hong Kong dollars. The trading volume of the FTSE 100 stock index futures contract reached more than 37 million Hong Kong dollars. The Hang Seng Index futures trading volume is more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars. In one hour, the total contract turnover of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars! The one-hour trading volume has reached one-fifth of the annual trading volume of the Xiangjiang Futures Market last year! Create the history of the Hong Kong Futures Market! Moreover, the price of Nikkei 225 stock index futures on the island country''s stock market changed rapidly on the same day, www.novelhall.com, and the Nikkei 225 stock index futures on the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange further stimulated trading volume. As soon as the Nikkei 225 stock index rose, financial institutions on the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange immediately placed a buy order at a higher price. Although the futures contract specifies a time, it is only a time limit, and any institution can close positions at any trading time. Therefore, some institutions that hold multiple orders see that they are profitable and immediately sell the contract in a short-term operation to collect the profit. When the market was closed in the afternoon, the staff of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange immediately collected various data and then reported it to Wang Qi, who again reported it to Xia Yu. On that day, the total turnover of the natural rubber hk101 contract reached more than 149 million Hong Kong dollars. The total turnover of Hang Seng Index futures is more than 132 million Hong Kong dollars. The FTSE 100 stock index futures totaled more than 314 million Hong Kong dollars. The total turnover of the Nikkei 225 stock index futures was more than 646 million Hong Kong dollars. Plus the trading volume of several futures commodities that still existed. On that day, the total turnover of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange was more than 1.263 billion Hong Kong dollars! One day''s trading volume is equivalent to about half of the total annual trading volume of the Xiangjiang Futures Market last year! The Hong Kong Futures Exchange charges more than 623,000 Hong Kong dollars in transaction fees. That night, the transcript, which appeared to be very simple and ordinary in Europe and the United States, but was very eye-catching in Hong Kong, was released and interpreted by "Global TV", which caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Before 9:30 in the evening, Xia Yu''s congratulatory call never stopped... PS: Ask for recommended tickets at the beginning of the month!

Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1164: Monopoly business is incense Different from the situation at the beginning of the operation of the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange, the trading volume of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange is getting higher day by day. After the total daily transaction volume reached more than 1,263 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, it broke through 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars on the second day. When the market was closed on Friday, the total daily transaction volume on that day had reached more than 1.87 billion Hong Kong dollars. According to the handling fee of five ten thousandths, the handling fee on the day alone is close to one million Hong Kong dollars. The prosperity of the Hong Kong futures market is about to catch up with the Hong Kong stock market, and the gap is only more than 540 million Hong Kong dollars. Yes, under the stimulus of the Hong Kong Futures Market, the daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market is getting higher day by day. On Friday, it once again reached the scale of 2.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. The Hang Seng Index reached a height of 1,621. The fact that the Hong Kong stock market can reach this level is inseparable from the launch of the Hang Seng Index. After the emergence of the Hang Seng Index futures trading, due to the participation of a large number of arbitrageurs and hedgers, the size and liquidity of the stock market will be greatly improved. Because the stock market and futures market trading volume is a two-way driving trend, it is a typical complementary market. After the launch of stock index futures, not only will it not divert cash in the spot market, but will result in thin stock spot trading and sluggish market conditions. On the contrary, it will increase the size of the stock spot market and increase market liquidity, which is an effective means for better prosperity and promotion of the stock spot market. In the medium and long term, stock index futures will have an attractive effect on over-the-counter funds, resulting in a significant increase in trading volume in both the stock market and futures market. Just like in the previous life in 1986, after the launch of the Hang Seng Index futures, the trading volume of Heung Kong''s stock increased by 60% that year. Although there were other factors, the launch of the Hang Seng Index played a vital role. In this world, not only did Hong Kong have the Hang Seng Index futures four years in advance, but also the Nikkei 225 stock index futures and the FTSE 100 stock index futures, which are more widely known, more influential, and larger in trading volume. The bonus effect will be more powerful. However, Xia Yu estimates that by the end of this year, the Hong Kong futures market will surpass the Hong Kong stock market, and then gradually leave the Hong Kong stock market behind. Even if he puts eight major companies on the market, he will not be able to change this trend. There is no way, this is determined by the market size and trading mechanism, and it is the same on a global scale. The trading scale of the futures market is greater than that of the stock market. Who makes the futures market equivalent to a natural leverage? Unlike the stock market, many institutions and retail investors are all trading stocks with principal. Of course, if the total trading volume is simply calculated based on the margin of the futures market, it may not exceed the size of the stock market. But no matter what, as long as it can stimulate Xiangjiang''s financial industry, and thereby drive Xiangjiang''s economy to become active in all directions, Xia Yu''s goal has been achieved. November 21, Sunday. The stock and futures markets have temporarily cooled down, but after more than two months, Tiangong Electronics has made a big move again. This time, global press conferences are also held in New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo. At each conference, the heads of major record companies and their respective singer stations were invited. The stars were dazzling, just like a mega concert. The sound quality of the songs played on the Tiangong CD record is not inferior to the level of the singer''s live performance, making fans who come to the Tiangong CD-P1 Walkman conference crazy. Although the retail price of each CD-P1 Walkman is as high as 760 US dollars, which is more than three times that of the world''s best-selling Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman, it still can''t stop fans from crazily following and buying. Tiangong CD-P1 Walkman is after all the first CD Walkman to appear in the world, and the price is very high. Therefore, despite the high brand awareness of Tiangong Electronics, and the SP-S2 Walkman, which has only been launched for more than two months, is still selling well all over the world, in the face of an unknown market, the global distributors of Tiangong Electronics are also afraid to be big. Scale purchase. Therefore, although Huo Jianning first summoned distributors from all over the world to come to Hong Kong to participate in the trade fair, let them see the products with their own eyes, but before the global launch on November 21, the order for Tiangong CD-P1 Walkman was only 110,000 taels. Thousands. is less than a quarter of Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman! But after the global press conference of Tiangong Electronics was held, the major distributors around the world realized that the market for CD Walkman not only existed but also was very broad after seeing the market''s popularity, so they placed urgent orders to Tiangong Electronics. . This time, unlike the vinyl record player, there is one and only one CD player in the world, and Tiangong Electronics temporarily monopolizes the market. Furthermore, it is now the end of November, and there is only one month away from Christmas. During the Christmas holiday, it is also the largest consumer holiday in Europe and the United States in a year. The major distributors have considered that after placing the order, to production and then to transportation and distribution, the one month is already very tight. Even if Tiangong Electronics is slow to arrange orders, it may not be finished after Christmas. goods. Therefore, the major distributors are eager to place new orders before they regret it. After placing more orders, they all place more orders, for fear of out of stock later. One week after ¡¡¡¡ was released, Tiangong Electronics received another order for 495,000 units. plus the 112,000 orders placed before the press conference. The total order of Tiangong CD-P1 Walkman reached 67,000 units. exceeded half of the sales of Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman in the same period. But because the wholesale price of the Tiangong CD-P1 Walkman is US$575, the total order amount reached US$349 million. Coupled with the fact that it took a few months to reduce costs since June, the manufacturing cost of the Tiangong CD-P1 Walkman has been reduced from US$162 to US$141, making these The gross profit of the order is as high as 250 million U.S. dollars, and the gross profit rate is as high as 75.5%. As for the previous Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman, because of the low price of a single product, although the number of orders for the same period was as high as 1.053 million units, the total order amount was only more than 187 million US dollars, and the gross profit It''s 1441.1 million U.S. dollars. Although the gross profit margins are similar, the exclusive market makes more money. However, the exclusive business can only be achieved by the end of this year. It is estimated that starting next year, members who have joined the CD-ROM Technical Standards Alliance will be able to release their own CD Walkman. By then, Tiangong Electronics will have to rack its brains to maintain its market dominance. So in the next one or two months, Tiangong Electronics will use all resources to increase its popularity, to stabilize its market position, and to eat as much cake as possible. ¡­¡­ Time gradually approaches the end of November. Governments, debtor countries such as Latin America, the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund, and commercial banks in various countries have already had a relatively consistent solution to the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America and other countries. . More than 3,000 commercial banks in the world that have been trapped in the quagmire have suffered from the crisis for several months, and their original tough attitude has gradually weakened. Latin America and other countries initially wanted to completely surrender their debts. Typically, barefooted people broke their jars and pulled the whole world into the water together. And commercial banks all over the world do not want to suffer. They not only intend to get back the principal, but also get the interest back. Latin America and other countries cannot pay back their debts in a short period of time, so they can postpone them, but the interest will have to continue to increase. However, after negotiations between the parties, even the Rockefeller, Citi, Morgan, Roshir and other large consortia also realized the difficulties, and then compromised step by step. More and more banks agreed to cut interest and discount debt. To put it bluntly, even if the original interest is no longer required, I don''t pray for the entire principal to be returned. If you can get a part of it, it will burn you up. Although the loss will be great, it is better than not getting back a penny. Of course, with the current situation in Latin America and other countries, even if the major banks want to get back part of their principal, they have not even thought about it in recent years. Because the fundamental economic problems of Latin America and other countries have not been properly resolved, this economic bomb has always existed. Once it explodes again, the impact will be more serious, and the global economy will be dragged down again. Therefore, not only have they not been able to get back part of the principal in recent years, the major commercial banks that have been **** have to jointly contribute money to continue to lend to Latin America and other countries to restore economic order. As for the amount of money, from the 66 billion U.S. dollars raised by the International Monetary Fund in October to 100 billion U.S. dollars in November! Equivalent to about one-third of the sovereign debt of Latin America and other countries in default! This is another huge pressure for many commercial banks! Fortunately, the plan has come out, and the attitudes of Latin America and other countries are relatively positive. As a result, the income growth rate of the eight major teams of bank funds began to decline. The high-speed floating profit period has begun to pass. Xia Yu gave an order, and the eight major teams began to harvest funds. PS: I have to go to work during the day, and I can only write at night. This is the first update, and there is still at night. Ask for a monthly recommendation ticket! Thank you! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1165: Galaxy Film Company goes public! The eight teams of the Galaxy Fund want to withdraw funds secretly, it takes a certain amount of time. Although the technical content of these things is not low, there are no risks. Xia Yu can be safely handed over to Liu Xiao, Tang Yong and others to execute. On the side of Xiangjiang, what attracted Xia Yu most at the end of this year was the listing of eight companies including Galaxy Film Company and China Gas. With the green light of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and special affairs, the listing process of five original established companies including China Gas and Xiangjiang Electric Co., Ltd. went very fast. Xia Yu originally thought it would be one of these five companies going public first. I never thought that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. would be even better. In the name of a shell company, it took only 16 days to buy 97% of the shares of a garbage listed company with a market value of only more than 23 million Hong Kong dollars from inside and outside the market. hand. Of course, because of the pursuit of time efficiency, the price of the acquisition is relatively higher. This company, which has a market value of more than 23 million Hong Kong dollars, bought 97% of the shares, but it cost more than 36 million Hong Kong dollars. But it doesn¡¯t matter. In fact, the assets of this company can be stripped and sold later, which is actually equivalent to buying a shell of a listed company for more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. spend more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, save a year or two, absolutely cost-effective! After the acquisition, in order to facilitate post-listing operations, Jiuding Securities did not transfer all of its equity to Galaxy Films, but transferred most of it, and then Jiuding Securities retained a portion and gave it to Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. After that, the Galaxy Film Company injected assets into the newly purchased shell company, and the supervision also gave the green light. After the rapid injection of assets, the name of the listed company was immediately changed to Galaxy Film Company. In this way, Galaxy Film Company has transformed into a public company. It''s just that the trading is still suspended. The new Galaxy Film Company has a total share capital of 120 million shares after the equity change. Among them, Jiuding Culture Media Group is the largest shareholder, holding 70 million shares, accounting for 58.8%. Jiuding Bank is the second largest shareholder, holding 16 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 13.33%. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is the third largest shareholder, holding 15 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 12.5%. Standard Chartered Bank is the fourth largest shareholder, holding 14.46 million shares, which is 12.05%. Wu Siyuan is the fifth largest shareholder, holding 1.9 million shares, accounting for 1.58% of the shares. He originally held 2.5% of the shares, but because of the early stage of Yinhe The expansion of the film company, Xia Yu injected several funds, making Wu Siyuan''s shareholding ratio has been declining. Yuan Heping is the sixth largest shareholder, holding 1.3 million shares, accounting for 1.08% of the shares. He is diluted more because he has fewer personal assets compared to Wu Siyuan. In several capital expansions, he gave up twice. The remaining 2.67 million shares are still scattered outside, held by retail investors, which together account for only 2.2%. Galaxy Film Company quickly went through all the procedures, and then on November 27, applied to the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission for the resumption of trading, which was approved by the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. Monday, November 29. Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange is full of voices, a lively image, and laughter can be heard from time to time. Lu Jiawei is forty-six years old this year and is an old stock investor. Since he was 23, he has been trading in stocks for 23 years. He felt that his abilities were not bad. When the stock market was booming, his assets exceeded three million Hong Kong dollars, making him a well-known leader among retail investors. It¡¯s just that he has experienced a lot of stock market crashes, and he has lost money several times. The value of several million Hong Kong dollars has long since disappeared. Now the stocks in his hand are only worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. The friends who have been around him before have basically gone. According to what Lu Jiawei has always said, he is so lucky. And today, he should transfer! Because he holds 15,000 shares of Hefeng Commercial Company! Of course, Hefeng Commercial Company has disappeared from this world a few days ago, and replaced by Galaxy Film Company! The junk stocks of Hefeng Commercial Company that he held in his hands have become the hot stock of Galaxy Film Company! Last year, he invested more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy these 5,000 shares of Hefeng Commercial Company, but unexpectedly, after the stock market crash last year, Hefeng Commercial Company exploded and became a junk stock among junk stocks. Before the suspension of trading this month, these 5,000 shares were worth less than 5,000 Hong Kong dollars! Because the set has been longer, and it has shrunk by four-fifths compared with the time of investment, it also made Lu Jiawei a Buddha. Even if he encountered a secret acquisition by Jiuding Securities, he still did not sell, and he was lucky. It is because of this fluke that he has today''s surprise and expectation. "Lao Lu, fifteen thousand shares, this time you are going to make a big deal, at least worth one million Hong Kong dollars!" "I know, you have good eyesight, you will definitely make a big shot again..." While Lu Jiawei looked at the blank trading board with excitement and anxiety, the old friend Fatty Peng Kang beside him was chattering in his ear with envy. "Hey, unlike a fool like me, he couldn''t hold back and sold 20,000 shares of Hefeng Commercial Company, otherwise I can make a fortune with you now, hey..." "Lao Lu, you post this time, don''t forget my old friend, you have to ask me to have a meal." Lu Jiawei was blushing with praise, and he was able to measure Peng Kang''s mood. He patted Peng Fat on the shoulder and said without hesitation: "Lao Peng, as long as the stock price can rise a hundred times today, you can choose the place. !" "This is what you said!" "According to the financial report released by Galaxy Film Company, as of November 15th, the total revenue reached 2,148 million Hong Kong dollars and net profit reached 1.515 billion Hong Kong dollars as of November 15. If the stock price rises less than a hundred times, my head will be turned off!" "I don''t care, I''m jealous, you must treat me today, I''m going to Lan Kwai Fong for three days!" "Fine, as long as you can carry it, go to Lan Kwai Fong if it rises a hundred times!" Lu Jiawei said hurriedly, then stopped Peng Kang and continued. "The market will open soon!" Sure enough, after Lu Jiawei''s voice fell for less than five seconds, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially opened. Almost everyone is looking for the Galaxy Film Company. "Where is the Galaxy Film Company?" "The Galaxy Film Company has appeared!" "My God, so fast, take off!" ¡­¡­ "I lost, Lao Lu, this is a hundred times the opening jump, I''m going crazy! You sent it! You sent it! Do you know? You sent it..." When I saw the original offer of Yinhe Film Company was 31.25 Hong Kong dollars, Peng Kang, who was standing next to Lu Jiawei, squinted his eyes to the greatest extent since his birth, and shook Lu Jiawei''s hand frantically. Then, shouted loudly. Lu Jiawei laughed stupidly, and tears flowed out unknowingly. "Hahaha, I transferred, hahaha..." At the same time, there were bursts of wanton laughter from other places throughout the exchange. Of course, more of them are yelling and wailing, and even more directly screaming at them. These people are the people who sold the shares of Hefeng Commercial Company. These past days, they were immersed in regret and self-blame every day, and these situations reached their peak on this day, and their mood was completely broken. Before the suspension of trading of Hefeng Commercial Company, the stock price was only 0.31 Hong Kong dollars per share. But now, the opening price is directly at the purchase price of HK$31.25 per share. and in a short period of time, has been rushing straight up. 38.46 Hong Kong dollars per share! ¡­¡­ 47.85 Hong Kong dollars per share! ¡­¡­ 82.66 Hong Kong dollars per share! It only took about ten minutes, and the stock price of Galaxy Films has increased by 266 times the stock price before the suspension! 83.75 Hong Kong dollars per share! When the latest buy order was placed, the entire exchange erupted with shocking exclamations. According to the share capital of 120 million shares of Galaxy Film Company and the latest quotation, the market value of Galaxy Film Company officially exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars! Another company with a market value of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars has appeared! When an exclamation sounded in the exchange. In a box on the second floor. Xia Yu, Wang Qi, Wu Siyuan, Yuan Heping are all inside, watching the crazy scene below through the window. "It seems that Xiangjiang has two more billionaires!" Xia Yu said to Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping with a smile. The smiles on their faces couldn''t be concealed at all. After the stock market opened, the smiles on their faces have not disappeared, and their faces are almost stiff. "Chairman, I have lost your cultivation. Without you, there would be no me who I am now!" "Chairman, the wisest decision I have made in my life, UU Reading is just eating with you!" Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping said with emotion. Although both of them are worth over 100 million now, and they are also top big figures in Xiangjiang, their attitude towards Xia Yu is even lower than before. Galaxy Film Company can be today, although they have credit, they are not irreplaceable. It is the resources of the consortium and the wise decision of the chairman that make Galaxy Film Company a leading film company in Hong Kong and even in Asia in just a few years. And this year is not over yet, Galaxy Films will be able to have a revenue of 2,148 million Hong Kong dollars and a net profit of more than 1,515 million Hong Kong dollars. The most important thing is to rely on "Alien People E¡¤T" this movie. is just a game copyright that was bought by Atari some time ago. Galaxy Films was allocated 130 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention the bigger movie box office share! And they also know that Galaxy Film Company is only a company under the chairman Xia Yu, not the most important company. is such a film company, the market value has exceeded the market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. I wonder how terrifying is the kind chairman in front of me! PS: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, everyone has a vote, thank you! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1166: All 8 companies are listed PS: Due to a mistake, the content of the previous chapter has a loophole. It has been extensively revised this afternoon. You can click on the display, long press the chapter to reload and read it again. Please forgive me! Galaxy Film Company is still creating miracles. In order to boost the post-listing stock price, Galaxy Film Company temporarily announced its financial report the day before yesterday, but the deadline for the published financial report was only November 15th. According to the normal annual financial report, it is from January 1st of the year to December 31st at the end of the year. This means that Galaxy Films¡¯ annual financial report actually still lacks a month and a half of revenue and profits. Therefore, the total revenue of more than 2,148 million Hong Kong dollars and the net profit of 1,515 million in the current financial report are not the limit. Now the "Alien E¡¤T" film co-produced by Galaxy Films and MGM Pictures is still being screened globally, and the films produced by Galaxy Films will continue to be shown. Some institutions estimate that after the next one and a half months, the total annual revenue of Galaxy Films will exceed 2.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit will be between 1.68 billion and 1.75 billion Hong Kong dollars. So actually the price-earnings ratio of Galaxy Film Company should be calculated according to the net profit estimated later. And Galaxy Films is the absolute film hegemon of Hong Kong Olympics and Southeast Asia. It is also the largest film company in Asia. There is no competitor that can pose a threat to it. Now it has entered Hollywood and has successfully established a foothold. In addition, Galaxy Film Company also has the full support of the global cinema chain, the global cinema chain hegemon, and the resource assistance of Jiuding Culture Media Group. The most important thing is that Galaxy Films can be regarded as the first listed company under the stock **** except for acquisitions that have not been privatized. The first listed company naturally wears the stock **** halo bonus. All of this has made investors have great expectations for Galaxy Films, and has helped Galaxy Films¡¯ stock price to climb to a higher peak step by step. When the market closed that morning, the stock price of Galaxy Films rushed to 8.43 Hong Kong dollars per share, pushing the market value of Galaxy Films to 25.35 billion Hong Kong dollars! When the market was closed in the afternoon, the stock price of Galaxy Film Company was fixed at 9.52 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the market value was fixed at more than 28.56 billion Hong Kong dollars. If according to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd.''s forecast of Galaxy Film Company''s annual net profit of 1.73 billion Hong Kong dollars, the price-earnings ratio would be 16.5 times! At about three in the afternoon, the stock price of Galaxy Film Company once rushed to 10 Hong Kong dollars, pushing the company''s market value to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. But to everyone''s regret, it has not stabilized at the market value of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it has fallen again. However, the market value of more than 28.56 billion Hong Kong dollars also allows Galaxy Films to sit firmly on the throne of Hong Kong''s most valuable listed company. After the stock market closed, the influence of the Galaxy Film Company¡¯s listing continued to spread. With a market value of more than 28.56 billion, it ranks first, overlooking the heroes! Galaxy Film Company has become an existence that no one can ignore! Jiahe Film Company, in the wrinkled office. "Horror, terrible!" After He Guanchang learned the market value of Galaxy Film Company, he sighed again and again, even his voice was trembling. Wrinkle has a very complicated mood, and he said with a bitter face: "Yes, the market value once rushed to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it was the first in Hong Kong. This is a glory that has never been seen in the Hong Kong film industry." "Unfortunately, it is our competitor who created this brilliance. This is the most desperate thing..." Thinking of the situation of his own Jiahe company, Wrinkle''s face became more bitter, and she felt very uncomfortable. At this moment, he has no hope of surpassing Galaxy Film Company. The ambitious ambition that I mentioned only a few months ago has been hit again! The total revenue of Jiahe Films this year was only more than 120 million Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit margin was also far behind by Galaxy Films. The current net profit is only more than 24 million Hong Kong dollars. If Jiahe Film Company is now listed on the stock market and can obtain a price-to-earnings ratio of eight times, it is already very good, but the market value is less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. The gap with Galaxy Film Company is more than a hundred times! The net profit of Galaxy Film Company in one year is more than seventy times that of Golden Harvest Film Company. Compete for a yarn! Seeing Wrinkle¡¯s waning feelings, He Guanchang understood his pressure. He patted Wrinkle¡¯s shoulders and comforted him: ¡°Old wrinkles, don¡¯t be so pressured. Didn¡¯t we have already said that we will not compete with Galaxy Film Company. It''s enough to surpass yourself!" "What''s more, now that Galaxy Films has become the largest company in Hong Kong, its annual net profit has reached HK$1.56 billion. I believe there will definitely be many tycoons who want to enter." "The pressure on Galaxy Films will be greater, and it will face competitive pressure several times greater than it is now. It is difficult to say whether it can continue to flourish." He Guanchang''s comforting words made wrinkles feel more uncomfortable. He said quietly: "Old Ho, you are wrong. If other tycoons enter the game, we will be the most stressed!" "Galaxy Film Company is supported by Universal Cinemas and Jiuding Newspaper Company. They sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and are not afraid of competition at all. The life of us and the smaller companies further behind will be difficult..." He Guanchang reacted, his face pulled down, speechless for a long time. ¡­¡­ That evening, Wu Siyuan took the opportunity to send an invitation to Xia Yu. Taking into account certain circumstances, Xia Yu agreed, and of course he brought Li Qian to the scene. Before Xia Yu came, Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping were the two centers surrounded by everyone, but when Xia Yu arrived, they became the focus in an instant. Almost everyone was very cautious and wanted to come over to say hello but didn¡¯t dare. The appearance of Xia Yu is interesting. Especially those actresses, they all looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, wishing to recommend herself to the pillow, but seeing Li Qian, who had been holding Xia Yu, felt ashamed. That night, Xia Yu didn¡¯t stay long. Before leaving, he told Wu Siyuan that the company¡¯s listing was just the beginning. If the company does not do well in the future, the higher it climbs now, the horrible fall in the future. Warning, shattering the bad mentality in Wu Siyuan''s heart, and seeing that the words were effective, Xia Yu left. Early the next morning, news about the Galaxy Film Company appeared overwhelmingly, and the citizens could hear it. However, Galaxy Studios has not always dominated public opinion. In the next two weeks, the remaining seven companies were all put on the market as if they were hurrying. China Gas has a market value of over 4.67 billion Hong Kong dollars. Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has a market value of more than 5.74 billion Hong Kong dollars. Jiuding Hotel Management Group has a market value of over HK$4.35 billion. The market value of ¡¡¡¡ Milk Company is more than 1.47 billion Hong Kong dollars. Jiuding Transportation Group has a market value of more than 1.690 billion Hong Kong dollars. Hutchison Whampoa Group has a market value of more than 6.24 billion Hong Kong dollars. Cathay Pacific Airways has a market value of more than 5.37 billion Hong Kong dollars No company has a P/E ratio of less than ten times, which shows the market''s pursuit of Xia Yu, the eight listed companies. The total market value of the eight companies reached 58 billion Hong Kong dollars, which directly increased the total market value of the Hong Kong stock market by 12%! The listing of eight companies also achieved Xia Yu''s goal. Every company listed has made a group of investors a lot of money, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of investors, and helped the total daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market surpassed the scale of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if it will fall back later, it will definitely not fall below the 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollar line. Eight companies went public. Although Xia Yu rationed most of the stocks that should have been allocated to other financial companies of his own, in order to stimulate the market, he still released some stocks to activate trading. As a result, he also had an additional HK$5.2 billion in circulating funds in his hands, which he temporarily handed over to Jiuding Securities for handling. As for his apparent personal worth, there is no change, just because he does not hold even a tiny bit of equity in the eight listed companies. Believe it or not, it¡¯s none of his business. Jiuding Culture Media Group guides public opinion, so he doesn¡¯t need to worry about it... PS: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1167: Christmas War (2 The situation in the Xiangjiang stock market and futures market is very good, various companies are also developing in an orderly manner, and the withdrawal of funds from the Galaxy Fund is also very smooth, which makes Xia Yu feel very good for a period of time. It''s just that someone has affected his good mood at this time! The morning of December 15th. Xia Yu had just returned from an inspection of the Tiangong Automobile Group factory in Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, but Wang Qi ran over to report to him. In order to create a stable investment environment as much as possible and optimize the inflation problem in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Government¡¯s Financial Secretary is preparing to reform the exchange rate system in Hong Kong. There is a relatively loud voice inside, suggesting that the floating exchange rate system implemented in 1974 should be changed. Change to a fixed exchange rate system again, linked to the British pound! "It is mainly British who agree with this opinion?" Xia Yu asked Wang Qi with a cold face. Wang Qi nodded and said, "Yes!" "These people are too selfish. Now Britain has fallen behind. The exchange rate of the pound fluctuates greatly. If the Hong Kong dollar is linked to the pound, the great situation we have just emerged will be completely destroyed." "Even if it is pegged, it is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Where does one get the pound!" "These people should get out of here!" "You make a list, and I will ask people to take out their black materials, clear them all out, and replace them with ¡®better¡¯ Chinese." Xia Yu said with a cold snort. Wang Qi second understood, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, Chairman, I will let Zhou Shanwen make a list tomorrow at the latest." "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, his expression slowly. At this time, Wang Qi pondered for a moment and said: ¡°Chairman, in fact, Xiangjiang¡¯s floating exchange rate system does have a big problem. Although the banking, stock and futures markets are all prospering, the current exchange rate system is very Big hidden danger." "Two years ago, the U.S. dollar against the Hong Kong dollar was still around 4.6 Hong Kong dollars per dollar." "However, the Hong Kong dollar has been depreciating in the past two years, and this year it has depreciated to a dollar to 7.2 dollars." "Fortunately, the release of the "Sino-British Joint Statement" has given Xiangjiang''s economy a boost. Coupled with the vigorous development of the stock and futures markets in the past few months, it has boosted the revaluation of the Hong Kong dollar." "But now the exchange rate is fluctuating around one U.S. dollar to 6.2 Hong Kong dollars. Compared to a few years ago, the depreciation is relatively large. "However, the large-scale inflow of foreign capital into Hong Kong during this period has also led to the continuous appreciation of the Hong Kong dollar. This will have a great impact on Hong Kong¡¯s export economy, real economy and employment. It is also not conducive to foreign investment in Hong Kong. This has a serious impact. The economic foundation of Xiangjiang." Xia Yu showed appreciation, nodded and said: "You are right, Xiangjiang''s exchange rate system does have a big problem, and it is time to plug this loophole!" Wang Qi''s eyes lit up and he looked at Xia Yu expectantly, and said: "Chairman, Zhou Shanwen told me that there are three main views within the Financial Secretary. The biggest voice is to change to a fixed linked exchange rate system, which is linked to the pound sterling ." "The second voice is to maintain a floating exchange rate and maintain monetary policy independence, but to increase foreign exchange reserves, expand the Monetary Authority, and improve the Hong Kong government''s ability to control exchange rates." "The third voice was also changed to a fixed linked exchange rate, but it was pegged to the US dollar. Zhou Shanwen held this view." "Chairman, which exchange rate system do you think is more suitable for the current Xiangjiang?" Xia Yu''s eyes were a little surprised, and the exchange rate system of the previous life of Xiangjiang appeared in his mind, and all the advantages and disadvantages flashed in his mind. In this world, there are two exchange rate systems, one is a floating exchange rate system, and the other is a fixed exchange rate system. Now the mainland has a fixed exchange rate system, and it was not changed to a floating exchange rate system until 2005. Different exchange rate systems behave differently and have different advantages and disadvantages when faced with the impact of international capital flows on the domestic economy. Generally speaking, when choosing a floating exchange rate, market forces mainly control the cross-border flow of capital. There are many benefits to implementing a floating exchange rate system. For example, a floating exchange rate system can ensure the independence of monetary policy; a floating exchange rate can help alleviate external shocks; government interventions are reduced, and the exchange rate will be determined by the market and more transparent; the government does not need Maintain huge foreign exchange reserves. But the shortcomings are also obvious. Under the floating exchange rate system, the exchange rate often fluctuates significantly, which may not be conducive to trade and investment; and because the exchange rate is freely floating, people may engage in speculation activities, leading to currency exchange rate instability; the most important However, the floating exchange rate system puts forward higher requirements on a country¡¯s macroeconomic management capabilities and financial market development. In the past life, the mainland, with its vast land and abundant resources, has experienced many setbacks in its ability to manage the RMB exchange rate to mature, but it also faces challenges from time to time. How can the Xiangjiang area, which has a small population and few people, compare with the big countries? In the past seven or eight years of implementing the floating exchange rate system, it can be seen how capable the Hong Kong government is in this regard, and the tuition fees paid have already been quite high. While choosing a fixed exchange rate requires the government to control the cross-border flow of capital, which is conducive to stable economic development. Because under the fixed exchange rate system, the exchange rate is relatively stable, and the fluctuation range of the exchange rate is either spontaneously maintained or artificially maintained, which enables the price determination of import and export products, the calculation and control of international trade costs, and the settlement of international claims and debts. It is carried out relatively stably, which reduces the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. And a fixed exchange rate is conducive to the cost and profit accounting of economic entities in international trade, international credit and international investment, avoids the risk of exchange rate fluctuations, and plays a certain role in promoting the development of the world economy. But fixed exchange rates also have great disadvantages. For example, the most obvious is the loss of monetary policy independence and the loss of the country¡¯s ¡°leverage¡± role in adjusting the economy. It is easy to transmit inflation internationally and cause economic problems. The advantages and disadvantages of the two exchange rate systems are obvious, and they have long been explored by the elites of the world. The "Triple Paradox" theory put forward by American economist Paul Krugman believes that the three goals of monetary policy independence, exchange rate stability, and free capital flow cannot be achieved at the same time, only two can be achieved at the same time. In fact, countries can only choose two goals that are beneficial to them. Combining the path taken by Xiangjiang in the previous life and the current situation in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu believes that in the next 20 years, the linked exchange rate system is most suitable for Xiangjiang, and it is pegged to the US dollar. This linked exchange rate system is essentially a fixed exchange rate system. However, once the linked exchange rate system is activated, Hong Kong must have a huge foreign exchange reserve of US dollars. Because when more people want to exchange Hong Kong dollars for US dollars, if there is no sufficient US dollar foreign exchange reserves to supply, then foreign exchange will appear to be in short supply, the Hong Kong dollar will depreciate, and the linked exchange rate system will collapse. Of course, as long as foreign exchange reserves are sufficient, we are not afraid of attacks by international speculators. During the 1997 financial crisis, Xiangjiang''s own huge foreign exchange reserves, coupled with the full support of the mainland, made Soros and other international speculators, who were invincible in Southeast Asia, lost to Xiangjiang. The fact that Xiangjiang is completely different from other countries in Southeast Asia also fully reflects the important role of the linked exchange rate system to Xiangjiang. As for how to go after Xiangjiang''s return, whether to change the exchange rate system, he doesn''t need to worry about it. Because of the mainland''s talent system and financial system support at that time, Heung Kong was fully qualified to resist all kinds of storms and implement the linked exchange rate system. He only needed to sit back and enjoy his achievements. Now he is obviously a businessman, but he has to worry about the present and future of the entire Xiangjiang from a political perspective. Hard work! But he paid so much, and he deserves the benefits as hard expenses... Xia Yu shook his head slightly, looked at Wang Qi again, and ordered: "The most suitable for Hong Kong is the linked exchange rate system, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar. The current exchange rate is one U.S. dollar to 6.2 Hong Kong dollars, so it can be set at this benchmark. "As for the details, I also have some ideas." "But you have enough things, these things don''t need you to follow up." "Zhou Shanwen is the Deputy Director of the Monetary Management Bureau of the Financial Secretary. You can ask him to come to me as soon as possible. I will have a good chat with him." "Okay!" Wang Qi obediently responded. ¡­¡­ Regarding the call of the big boss behind the scenes, Zhou Shanwen did not dare to neglect, so he asked for leave to report to Xia Yu the next morning. That morning, Xia Yu inquired in detail about the internal situation of the Financial Secretary and the Monetary Authority, and then talked to him a lot about the linked exchange rate system, which made Zhou Shanwen''s thinking very clear. At the end, Xia Yu also urged Zhou Shanwen to prepare him to be the head of the Financial Administration Bureau for this period of time. This made Zhou Shanwen very happy and thanked Xia Yu for his cultivation. After Zhou Shanwen left, Xia Yu ordered Luo Wang to act. He put his main energy on sorting out his assets and making development plans for next year. ¡­¡­ The Christmas holiday in European and American countries is equivalent to a winter holiday. The holiday time is generally from December 22 to January 5, and there are two weeks. As time approaches the Christmas in the West. Companies from all walks of life have also started large-scale advertising and marketing activities, trying to get enough income during the biggest holiday of the year. In the video game industry, the marketing war is already in full swing. However, the most invested capital, the most marketing efforts, and the most well-known are the Tiangong Electronics Group and Atari Company. Just in the United States, Huo Jianning invested millions of dollars in advertising and marketing. In addition, Huo Jianning had contacted Peter Lynch in advance. Therefore, the tens of millions of dollars was completely spent on the effect of 20 million dollars. This puts Atari and its parent company, Warner Bros. Entertainment, under tremendous pressure and had to invest more money in marketing. No way, for this Christmas war, Atari company has newly produced 10 million Atari 2600 game consoles and 5 million copies of "ET Alien" game cassettes. Of course, there are still in the warehouse. There are seven million copies of "Pac-Man" game cassettes that have not yet been sold. Together with other game cassettes, Atari plans to market up to 15 million game cassettes. This Christmas, Atari and Warner Bros. Entertainment are preparing to make big money. "E¡¤T Alien", this explosive game is not only to make money, but also to promote the sales of Atari 2600 game console. After all, the explosive game "ET Alien" can only be run on Atari 2600 game console! For the market prospects, Atari also has enough confidence, because the distributor has already taken four million copies of the "ET Alien" game cassettes and more than two million Atari 2600 game consoles in advance. . Now at Atari¡¯s warehouse, there are only one million copies of "E¡¤T Alien" game cassettes, and the cassette production plant is also on standby at any time. As long as the sales frenzy erupts, they can continue to produce them as soon as possible. Game cassettes ensure adequate market supply. Therefore, when everything is ready, it must not be taken over by the biggest competitor Tiangong Electronics Group in the most critical period. On December 22, the American Christmas holiday officially began. It is also on this day that Atari and Tiangong Electronics Group held a press conference in New York at the same time, and the location of the press conference was not far from each other, which was completely in the rhythm of a frontal ring. Atari company is still launching the Atari 2600 game console, as well as the trump card "ET Alien" game cassette and the newly designed level "Space Invaders" game cassette. The Tiangong Electronics Group is launching the second-generation home game console TG-MasterSystem2, and five games headed by the game "Red Dead Redemption" adapted from Clint Eastwood''s "Fistful of Dollars" New game cassettes, and of course, "Super Mario", "Huaxia Cube", "Tank Battle" and other game cassettes that have been sold worldwide, with redesigned game levels. As far as the lineup is concerned, although Atari has a large number of cassettes, it has a lot of shoddy products. The card "Pac-Man" has been beaten, and only "ET Alien" and "Space Invaders." After the ¡¡¡¡ press conference, dealers across the United States who have already been gearing up for it officially started selling. On this day, I don¡¯t know how many children smashed the piggy bank and rushed to the nearest game retail store to buy game consoles and game cassettes with the hard-earned money. ¡­¡­ Fourteen-year-old Jack is a game fan. His enlightenment game is "Space Invaders". He has long known through TV commercials and promotional posters that today is the day when many game companies release new games. Although Atari launched many garbage games this year, he was disappointed, but his whole family likes E¡¤T, the cute big-headed alien. The product of the combination of the two-the "ET Alien" game, has long been waiting for him. After he came to the game retail store with a wealthy family, he bought the "ET Alien" game cassette without hesitation. As for the Atari 2600 console, he already had it and didn''t buy it again. However, he was also captured by the fine games of the Tiangong Electronics Group. He also bought the TG-MasterSystem2 game console, as well as ten game cassettes such as "Red Dead Redemption" and "Super Mario". After ¡¡¡¡, he hurried home and asked his brother to play games together. The first one to play, of course, is the most anticipated "ET Alien" game. Just less than five minutes... "Damn it, Atari has developed another **** game. This **** giant pit can''t get up after falling. It''s meaningless..." "I''m like a clown, being laughed at by Atari..." "Lovely and kind-hearted E¡¤T, UU reading turned out to be developed into this kind of garbage game, this is deceiving our feelings, I want to return!" An angry Jack directly threw the Atari 2600 game console aside, and then, under the comfort of his younger brother, took apart the TG-MasterSystem2 game console and the latest game "Red Dead Redemption". Five minutes later... This vertical scrolling shooting game with Bounty Hunter Billy Bob as the protagonist in the American West in 1849 completely captured the Jack brothers. The two games are up against each other! Jack was completely disappointed with Atari. In the afternoon of the next day, he played all the games of the Tiangong Electronics Group. While lamenting the classics of the game, he saw the Atari 2600 game console and "ET Alien" that he left aside. The game cassette was suddenly out of breath, but he was so angry that he reinstalled the game cassette back into the packaging box and rushed to the game retail store to request a return. There, he found that many people like him had come to return the goods. The same is true for the items that require return, which is surprisingly the "E¡¤T Alien" game cassette... PS: The two chapters have been merged into one, and they have not been divided into two chapters. I just went to the hospital this afternoon and spent more than 900 years. It was painful both physically and mentally. Would you like to vote for comfort? (*^¨Œ^*) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1168: The biggest crisis In the office of Willie Rex, vice president of marketing and marketing at Atari headquarters. Willie Rex is listening to the report of Marketing Manager Porter Kirton. From his solemn face, it can be seen that he is not in a good mood at this time. In fact, no matter who they are, they will not be in a good mood when they learn that the sales feedback of their company''s products is not good, and even many consumers are requesting return. What''s more, he is still in charge of the marketing department and the marketing department? Take the greatest responsibility! Now that there is a problem with sales, he is the first to face the greatest pressure! "..." "President Rex, I only received a small number of calls yesterday, but today, the calls in my office have not stopped. They are all calls from dealers, reporting to me that the sales are bad and requesting a return!" "I can only drag and dare not answer the phone anymore, because the calls are from more powerful dealers. The calls of ordinary dealers are answered by other people. I have already understood that it is also bad. " "Yesterday, I received 267,000 orders for "ET Alien" game cassettes, but as of today, before I came, I only received more than 33,000 orders for game cassettes. There is no one, and it has completely fallen off a cliff. The market has a huge problem..." After Porter Curton finished his report, Willy Rex said with a sullen face: "Now you accompany me to the nearest game retail stores." "Ok." After that, Willie Rex and Porter Curton went to several nearby game retail stores within an hour. The sales they saw with their own eyes made their faces very ugly. Today is Christmas. The sales of game retail stores are very hot, but there is a huge gap in traffic between Atari¡¯s game sales area and Tiangong Electronics¡¯ game sales area... After returning to the company, Willie Rex left Potter Curton and went straight to the office of the company''s president Ray Casal. "President, we are in big trouble!" After entering the office, Willie Rex went straight to the subject, and the first words he spoke made Ray Casal''s smile froze. Ray Casal held his breath, asked Willie Rex to sit down and asked, "Willie, what''s the big problem?" "Aren''t the sales of "E¡¤T Alien" very good?" Willie Rex shook his head and said, "President, that was only the day before yesterday. The orders for these two days have fallen off a cliff. Yesterday, only 267,000 copies of the "ET Alien" game cassette were received. Today, only more than 33,000 orders for game cassettes have been received, and no order for game consoles has been received!" Ray Casal frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead were so deep that they could trap mosquitoes. But Willie Rex, in order to make Ray Casal have a deeper impression of the current market situation, he continued on his own: "The marketing department has received many return calls from dealers in the past few days. , Especially today, many large distributors have complained to our company, requesting returns, or threatening us to suspend cooperation." "In order to get the most realistic situation, I have just gone to four game retail stores around with the manager of the marketing department, Porter Curton, and each of them has consumers requesting a return from the dealer. For our "E¡¤T "Aliens" game cassettes have a lot of grievances, and many people are criticizing the poor quality of the game." "And these distributors have now put our game cassettes and game consoles in the back position, and put Tiangong Electronics'' game consoles and cassettes on the best showcase." "In order to solve the trouble, some dealers guide consumers who return goods to exchange for game cassettes from Tiangong Electronics." "We are really in big trouble. We have already lost this Christmas sales battle..." Ray Casal took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his inner anxiety and panic. He frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Listen, Willie, today is Christmas. You must first stabilize all the dealers. They are our most important resource." "You let them sell first temporarily, and if a consumer requests a return, you let them guide the consumer to exchange for our other game cassettes." "For the "ET Alien" game cassette, you tell them that our company is urgently discussing measures and will reply to them as soon as possible." "Be sure to postpone the time. We should believe that although there are consumers requesting to return the goods, there are definitely consumers who will like our games and can sell more copies. Even if we agree to them to return the goods later, we can minimize the loss. Understand?" It can be seen from his words that Ray Casal does not take consumers seriously, and still thinks about exploiting innocent consumers. Willie Rex opened his mouth to admonish, but thinking of the glory that the company has achieved in the hands of Ray Casal in the past few years, as well as his prestige in the company and the trust of his parent company, he can only swallow it again. Back in the stomach. Anyway, he has reported clearly to Ray Casal. The problem lies in the quality of the game. The responsibility is no longer with him. Let Ray Casal deal with it. He can only do his best to let the people below stabilize the dealer. "I understand, I will do my best." "I''m going to work first." After speaking, Willie Rex got up and left Ray Casal''s office. ... For this Christmas War, Huo Jianning personally came to the United States. In the US branch of Tiangong Electronics Group, Huo Jianning listened to the news sent by employees from all over the United States ~ www.novelhall.com ~ He was full of surprises. As expected by the chairman, Tiangong Electronics Group has an opportunity to step on Atari! He can also imagine that Atari Company must be in a battered situation at this time. The longer the delay, the better for Atari. Therefore, Huo Jianning immediately convened a high-level meeting and assigned a series of secret tasks. Early the next morning, that is, the morning after Christmas, thousands of consumers gathered at the Atari headquarters in Los Angeles. They held various protest signs and held a massive protest against Atari. The American police rushed to maintain order. "Damn Atari, you are liars!" "Resist junk game producers and give us a wonderful game environment!" "Refund! Refund!" "Trash Atari, you ruined our fantasy of E¡¤T, and your adaptation is completely blasphemous!" "Liar, give us the money for the game console and cassette!" ... It just so happens that Atari company is surrounded by large American media headquarters, and the massive demonstrations and protests naturally attracted these media. Reporters carrying long guns and short cannons rushed over happily, continuously filming protest images, and interviewing protesters from time to time. Thousands of protesters saw this scene intensified their protests, trying to use the power of the media to wake up game lovers across the United States to boycott Atari. At this time, in the Atari company building. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ray Casal and other high-levels gathered all the pictures downstairs. Everyone is aware that Atari has ushered in the biggest crisis since its establishment! PS: Ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! v3 Chapter 1169: Fooling consumers will eventually be overthrown Soon, Ray Casal called a meeting of all directors and executives. There were dozens of people sitting in the conference room, but no one spoke, and the entire conference room was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere. Ray Casal cleaned up his emotions, cheered up, and said loudly, "Now for a meeting!" "Everyone has seen that thousands of consumers are protesting downstairs, and the surrounding media are already on the scene, and it is certain that there is a steady stream of media coming from other places." "Just now the marketing department has feedback that not only Los Angeles, but also other parts of the United States have also broken out protests, but the scale is relatively small." "The quality of "ET Alien" has detonated consumers'' dissatisfaction. As the president of the company, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. I will report to the parent company later." "But the most important thing now is to quell the bad effects as much as possible. Please suggest any good solutions as soon as possible..." "President, I am in charge of the R&D department, and I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. I apologize to everyone. Because of the R&D department, the company has fallen into a crisis. I am sorry!" "For this crisis, I think the only way is to allow consumers and distributors to return the "ET Alien" game cassette, but other game cassettes and game consoles cannot be returned." The vice president in charge of the R&D department got up first, apologized to everyone with a sincere expression, and then immediately expressed his attitude. Willy Rex came out for the second time and said: "Almost all major distributors are complaining to us now. We have no choice but to return the goods or suspend the cooperation and invest in the arms of Tiangong Electronics Group." "Without these distributors, we will lose the future. I also suggest agreeing to return the "ET Alien" game cassette." "But game consoles cannot be returned. There are still more than 8 million game consoles in our warehouse. The pressure is already great." "I suggest that the company immediately apply for assistance from the parent company. The parent company controls huge media resources. We cannot let the reputation continue to deteriorate..." "I also agree with distributors and consumers to return products, but we must also minimize losses as much as possible, mobilize distributors as much as possible, and guide consumers to change the return of products to exchanges, and exchange for our other cassettes or consoles..." ... Individual executives and directors expressed their attitudes. Forty minutes later, the meeting came to an end, and the decision of the meeting came out. First, agree with consumers and distributors to return the goods and quell the protests in the United States. Second, the R&D department mobilizes all R&D forces to fully develop a high-quality game that will be introduced to the market as soon as possible to save consumers and distributors. Third, public relations as soon as possible, apply for media assistance from the parent company, and minimize the influence of public opinion as much as possible. When the meeting was about to adjourn, in order to boost the confidence of the company¡¯s executives, Ray Casal said with a calm face, ¡°The failure of a game is only temporary. It can be taken from the game of Pac-Man. It can be seen that consumers are very forgetful. We are a leader in the game industry. There are thousands of games on the Atari 2600 platform. Players cannot do without our game platform and will continue to buy our games. We Have confidence!" After the meeting, Atari held a press conference at the door of the company. The attitude was very sincere. One was to apologize, the other was willing to let consumers return or exchange the goods, and the third was to stand. Until noon, the protests were finally quelled, and thousands of protesters returned to their homes. All the senior executives of Atari were relieved. However, Huo Jianning, the instigator of the arrangement behind the scenes, will not let Atari wish, and he will not let this excellent opportunity pass before his eyes. He immediately used the authority granted by the chairman to contact Peter Lynch of Polaris Capital Company and Yan Wenhan of Jiuding Newspaper Company to apply to mobilize all media resources to attack Atari. Therefore, that evening, major evening papers, major local TV stations, and CNN News Network carried out negative reports on the demonstrations against Atari companies that broke out across the United States. The next morning, hundreds of national or local daily newspapers controlled by the Jiuding Consortium also reported, without exception, all of them were negative reports on Atari on the basis of facts. "Due to the over-examination of the quality of the game adapted from the film "Alien E¡¤T", thousands of consumers gathered at the Atari headquarters in Los Angeles to hold demonstrations."-"USA Today" "The reputation of Atari company broke, and a series of games developed by Tiangong Electronics Group triggered a sales boom."-"USA Today" "The contrast between the shocking posters and the most primitive things pushed Atari to a cliff."-"San Francisco Chronicle" "Unscrupulously deceive and squeeze consumers, no matter how great the empire will collapse."-"New York Daily News" "Rough manufacturing wins with quantity vs. excellence. Respect consumers. Atari and Tiangong Electronics Group have completely different attitudes. As consumers, who should we support?"-"Washington Star" ... Newspapers secretly controlled by the Jiuding Consortium, while attacking Atari, will also draw on the Tiangong Electronics Group as a positive contrast. After reading the sharp contrast, readers will not only cast aside Atari, but also greatly increase Tiangong Electronics. The popularity of the group, many readers even directly buy game consoles and game cassettes produced by Tiangong Electronics Group. This purchase has directly become a loyal fan of Tiangong Electronics Group. In addition to the newspapers owned by the Jiuding Consortium, they stand on the opposite side of Warner Bros. Entertainment''s media forces and all media reports negatively. It''s just that these media will not all draw Tiangong Electronics Group as a positive model. But no matter what, at this time, these media are natural allies. Suddenly, these forces converged into a torrent of waves, and the positive publicity of Warner Bros. Entertainment was crushed. The entire United States was all negative news from Atari. What are the consequences of this? A total of nearly two million copies of Atari¡¯s "ET Alien" game cassettes were bought by consumers. Not to mention the seven million consumers who were deceived by Atari''s garbage "Pac-Man" game before. These consumers learned from the news that protests and demonstrations against Atari had broken out across the United States, and their anger and resentment suddenly broke out, and they joined the team. Countless consumers flocked to game retail stores where they bought game consoles and cassettes. UU Reading demanded a return. The returned goods are not only the "ET Alien" game cassettes, but also game consoles such as Atari 2600 and Atari 5200, as well as crude junk game cassettes such as "Pac-Man". You know, Atari¡¯s game console is only used as a platform. In addition to hundreds of junk games developed by Atari itself, there are also many junk games developed by third-party game companies based on Atari game consoles. The consumer does not matter whether it was developed by Atari or not. Since Atari can return the garbage game "ET" Alien, there is no reason why other games cannot be returned. There are many people who hold this idea and put it into practice. For a time, game dealers across the United States have grown in heads, and facing aggressive consumers, many dealers can only be softened. And some dealers who did not have service soft, the store was in chaos, and some even forced other game cassettes on the shelves after the dealer refused to return the goods. In addition to calling the police, the dealers who have suffered huge losses and endured such great pressure can only put their efforts on Atari. If it weren''t for Atari''s large-scale and shoddy launch of junk games this year, or for Atari''s excessive false propaganda, which caused consumer grievances to erupt, why would they suffer such pain? Compared with Atari, distributors suddenly felt that Tiangong Electronics Group was a model among gaming companies. I don¡¯t know how many distributors, they have made up their mind to stop the cooperation with Atari after returning the goods from Atari this time, and try their best to embrace the thigh of Tiangong Electronics Group! PS: The second one will be sent, please refer to the monthly ticket, thank you! v3 Chapter 1170: Self-produced Fengshen 1 generation sports car The return frenzy and the turbulent public opinion from all over the United States have defeated Atari. The invincible Ray Casal was finally woken up. But it''s too late! Atari''s reputation is completely broken! The Christmas consumption period at the end of the year only started four days, but Atari has already announced its exit in advance, and there are 10 million Atari 2600 game consoles and more than 10 million game cassettes, as well as the previous costs. , Will bring a direct economic loss of 5.6 billion U.S. dollars to Atari. The future losses and loss of goodwill are even more immeasurable. Many media pointed out that the crisis that was detonated this time destroyed the foundation of Atari''s empire and broke the future of Atari. Not only that, but also caused great harm to the American home game industry. Fortunately, there is also Tiangong Electronics Group, which can be called a "business model", supporting the shaky game market. When other video game companies were preparing to grab the market conceded by Atari, game players had already invested in the arms of Tiangong Electronics Group. You must know that in the United States, where personal consumption accounts for 70% of the economy, the overall retail sales during the year-end shopping season during Christmas can account for one-fifth of the annual social retail sales in the United States. This Christmas shopping season, Tiangong Electronics Group''s products are really selling out in the United States. Tiangong Electronics¡¯ CD and vinyl walkman, as well as home game consoles, led the US consumer electronics field. According to statistics, in a Christmas shopping season at the end of the year, the total sales of all products of the Tiangong Electronics Group exceeded one billion US dollars, which is simply shocking! The headline of the newspaper "USA Today" commented on this phenomenon, and gave the Tiangong Electronics Group a high praise-"Tiangong-the rapidly rising consumer electronics empire!" The daily sales volume of the "USA Today" newspaper has reached more than two million copies. Most of its readers are middle-class and above, and its influence in the United States is very large. As the "USA Today" newspaper highly praised the Tiangong Electronics Group, the popularity of the "Tiangong" brand in the United States has greatly increased, and it has exceeded the original market scope. This is an excellent thing. This transcript was presented to Xia Yu by Huo Jianning, and he was highly praised by Xia Yu. He fully affirmed his work ability, which made Huo Jianning''s work enthusiasm further increased. ¡­¡­ The time has entered the Gregorian calendar in 1983, only more than a month away from the traditional Chinese New Year. Various companies are intensively collecting statistics and summarizing the situation of the past year, and Xia Yu is also getting busy. But no matter how busy he was, he did not forget one thing, that is, Tiangong Automobile Group officially started production. Xiangjiang Automobile Industry finally took the most solid step. For Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu has put a lot of effort into it, and now it is finally the harvest season. This afternoon, he went directly to the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park from home. When he got there, Chen Caijun, the president of Tiangong Automobile Group, was already waiting. The car was finally put into production, and Chen Caijun was happily happily all day, smiling everywhere when he saw him. "Chairman, good afternoon!" "Well, Caijun, take me to see the finished car!" "Okay, please follow me!" After finishing speaking, Chen Caijun led Xia Yu towards the factory. When Xia Yu came to Tiangong Automobile¡¯s plant in June last year, the first phase of the plant with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles had been built, and the assembly line was still a bit messy. But after going in this time, everything inside seemed extraordinarily pleasing to the eye. Looking around, it is a sea of ??machinery. The uniformly dressed employees are busy on the assembly line, one by one auto parts are being assembled, this scene makes Xia Yu smile with satisfaction. Of course, what attracted him the most was the finished car. The first car Chen Caijun showed him was a red convertible with the appearance of a British trot. At first glance, anyone will be surprised by the appearance of this car and subconsciously think that this is a top sports car. But actually... "Chairman, this is our Aeolus generation lightweight and cheap sports car. The technology is mainly derived from the company''s Lotus and Lamborghini sports cars." "In terms of parameters, the body size is 3960¡Á1650¡Á1230 (mm), the wheelbase is 2275mm, and the curb weight is 950 kg. The power part is equipped with a Rolls-Royce 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 115 horsepower. The peak torque is 135 N/m, with a 5-speed manual transmission, the front-rear drive layout is 0-100km/h and the acceleration is completed in 8.7 seconds, and the top speed is 202km/h... "The front and rear chassis adopts double wishbone independent suspension equipped with anti-roll bars, and the small size and low body can give the driver a perfect control experience..." "The market price of this car is 168 million U.S. dollars. Because the output has not increased, the current manufacturing cost is 7,860 U.S. dollars per unit, and the technology transfer cost is 1,650. Ten U.S. dollars, and our entire vehicle profit retained ten percent..." Following Chen Caijun''s recount, Xia Yu has a clear concept of this car. Although the initial direction was proposed by him... That''s right, the price of this sports car named Fengshen generation is only 168 million US dollars! According to the current exchange rate, the equivalent of Hong Kong dollars is only a fraction of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. And think about the Rolls-Royce Silver Charm that was released in 1980. The price is 160,000 pounds, which is equivalent to 300,000 US dollars at the exchange rate at the time! It would cost 1.42 million Hong Kong dollars to change into Hong Kong dollars. Even the cheaper Bentley Continental bare car is priced at 60,000 pounds, equivalent to US$11,500, and Hong Kong is priced at 530,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now the price of this Fengshen generation sports car is less than 15% of the Bentley Continental! From this price point, it can be seen that the Fengshen generation is a model that sells dog meat. This can be seen from the various parameters of the Fengshen generation. But regardless of whether the car is advanced or not, the most important thing is whether it can be welcomed by the market. In the past, Mazda launched a lightweight and cheap sports car in the late 1980s. The first generation could sell 400,000 cars, and it was rated as a classic model in the 1980s. It shows that there is indeed a market for cheap sports cars~www. novelhall.com~No company has launched a cheap sports car, and the market for cheap sports cars has not been developed. Then, if a newbie in the auto industry, Tiangong Motors, is able to stand out and launch a cheap sports car, it can stand out and successfully enter the global auto market. Regardless of the cheap price, if the Fengshen generation can sell 400,000 units like Mazda, the sales can reach nearly 7 billion U.S. dollars, and the profit can also be 6.7 billion U.S. dollars. This sales and profit can already hit most of the world''s auto companies, allowing Tiangong Automobile Group to squeeze into the camp of Asian first-tier auto companies, and it can also squeeze into the second-tier camp in the world. As for real sports cars, it is very difficult for Tiangong Automobile Group to recreate a brand. It is not yet time. After all, the research and development cost of developing a sports car is very high. Tiangong Automobile Group does not have the capital to rebuild a sports car brand. Anyway, the Tiangong Automobile Group now has two sports car brands, Lamborghini and Lotus, which was acquired by the Guangming Fund and transferred the ownership to the Tiangong Automobile Group. It is precisely because of the presence of these two supercar companies that the technology of Tiangong Automobile Group is supported. Then there was technical support and supplements from the partner Rolls-Royce Motor Group, which made it possible for Tiangong Automobile Group to move from R&D to production so quickly. Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1171: 6 cars and 0 million production capacity "What about other models?" The first Fengshen generation has satisfied Xia Yu, and this is not the trump card used by Tiangong Motors to attack the global auto market. Xia Yu could not help but look forward to the following models. I don''t know to what extent Tiangong Automobile implemented his opinions. "Chairman, please follow me!" Xia Yu''s satisfaction made Chen Caijun''s heart settled, and the whole person broke out with a stronger passion for work, and took Xia Yu to another production workshop. This second model is not a sports car, but a car. It¡¯s just that the appearance of the model is obviously different from that of the current car models. The body no longer has box-like edges and corners. Instead, it is biased towards the curved shape of a high-end sports car, which is very elegant and atmospheric. Putting this car into the current models of many car companies, it is definitely an outstanding existence, and it can quickly attract people''s attention. Xia Yu doesn''t know much about specific automobile technology, but he is very clear about the changes in trendy models in the next few decades. At the technical level, with the technical background of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group, the largest car company in Europe, Tiangong Motors is no worse than Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and other automobile companies. However, Tiangong Motor suffers a disadvantage because it is a new brand. I would like to ask, with the same level of technology, why should consumers buy your car that is not well-known and has not been tested by the market? Therefore, in order to make Tiangong Auto''s cars stand out, it is the best way to catch consumers'' attention, and make consumers fall in love with this model at the first glance. In later generations, the economic effects of eyeballs have long been known to everyone, and Xia Yu is well aware of its explosive effects. "Chairman, this car is our model in the luxury car field. It is called the Shenyu Generation. It is equipped with a navigator, automatic height adjustment, four-wheel independent suspension, power steering, cruise control... world-class configuration." "In terms of car interiors, we have also spent a lot of thought..." "In order to be able to open up the market as soon as possible to gain a firm foothold, the price of our Shenyu generation is lower than that of the same class. The price of the naked car is US$22,900." "As for the car next to it, it''s our mid-level sedan, all configurations are one grade lower, named Honor Generation, and the naked car is priced at $15,800." When Chen Caijun was talking about it, Xia Yu''s eyes wandered back and forth in two cars, one black and one white. The black car is the honour generation, and the white car is the glory generation. Of course, the color of the body can be changed. When it is officially launched, there will definitely be more colors for consumers to choose, but there is no need to put so many here. Both cars have a streamlined appearance. They are similar in appearance, except that the Shenyu generation car is longer and larger, and the interior space is definitely more comfortable, but the manufacturing difficulty and cost are also greater. Glory Generation will attack the mid-range car market, while Shenyu Generation will attack the high-end luxury car market. Combining the two will cover the mid- and high-end car market. This is temporarily enough for a novice in the car industry like Tiangong Motors. After all, you have to eat one bite at a time. It is obviously unrealistic to want to be fat with one bite. There is a popular saying in the automobile circle, "the middle and high-end car wins the world." With the profit far surpassing small cars and the sales of luxury cars, the middle and high-end car market has always been a must for car companies. As long as the Shenyu Generation and the Glory Generation can gain popularity in the mid-to-high-end car market, Tiangong Automobile will be able to gain a firm foothold, even surpassing most car companies. Of course, this is not to say that Xia Yu has given up on the economy car market. only refers to the temporary absence of economy cars in the sedan sector. does not mean that Tiangong Automobile Company has abandoned this market. Tiangong Automobile also prepared a trump card. No, it is exactly a king bomb! After fully understanding the Shenyu Generation and the Glory Generation, Xia Yu immediately told Chen Caijun: "Caijun, take me to see the urban SUV developed." "Ok." That¡¯s right, Tiangong¡¯s Wang Bo is an urban multi-purpose vehicle that has not yet appeared in the global market, or urban SUV for short! is this kind of car. In the later generations, it has achieved global annual sales of 30 million vehicles, occupying 35% of the global automobile market! Now, the concept of SUV has been put forward by Jeep Motor Company in 1976, and the Cherokee was manufactured. Now Cherokee is also a world leader in the field of SUVs. It is a classic among classics and its annual sales volume is not low. However, today''s Jeep Cherokee is only an SUV, not an urban SUV, and it only occupies a small share of the auto market. Today''s Cherokee''s development is focused on the direction, and it is still the field where Jeep Motors depends-off-road. Tiangong Automobile wants to be a jeep in the SUV field and make the cake bigger, so it can only be unique. The urban SUV that is further developed on the basis of SUV is the direction of Tiangong Automobile, which is enough to make Tiangong Automobile leave a deep mark in automobile history. According to the original historical trajectory, the first urban SUV will be developed by Toyota Motor Corporation in 1989, named RAV4, and mass production did not begin until 1994. Now, let alone research and development, Toyota has not even thought of the concept of urban SUV... Soon, the group came to another factory again and saw three SUVs quietly placed in a corner. The three colors of red, black and blue are distinct. There is no need for Xia Yu to mention, Chen Caijun consciously introduces Xia Yu. He pointed to the one closest to Xia Yu and began to introduce: "Chairman, this is our urban SUV series, which is shaped as the Tiangong X series, which are X1, X2, and X3 models, corresponding to three grades." "The X1 is an economical SUV, and the price of a naked car is 11,800 US dollars..." "X2 is a mid-to-high-end SUV, and the price of a bare car is $18,800..." "X3 is a luxury SUV, the price of a bare car is 25,800 US dollars..." "The above is the specific situation of these three cars." "As for the ultra-luxury SUVs in the higher market and the limited-edition top SUVs, there are currently no projects, but the R&D department is already accumulating technology. If our X-series sales are substantial, we will launch the two fields at the right opportunity. R&D and production..." For cars, Xia Yu has sufficient discrimination ability. Especially when Chen Caijun introduces, he will introduce various parameters and compare with cars of the same grade, which gives Xia Yu a clear impression of these three cars. In general, these three cars have enough performance and are not bad. After all, they have the technical support of Rolls-Royce Motor Group and its Land Rover. After Chen Caijun¡¯s introduction, Xia Yuxing went wherever he came, got in the car to experience it, and drove three cars separately to compare the driving feeling. You get what you pay for, and Tiangong X3 has the best experience, so there is no need to say more. After ¡¡¡¡ played for a while, Xia Yu returned to business again. Looking at the whole process, Tiangong Automobile has prepared six cars to attack the global automobile market. cheap sports car Fengshen generation. The luxury cars in the sedan market are the first generation of luxury cars and the glory generation of mid-size cars. City SUV X series X1-X3. There are six cars, each of which has enough features and hot spots. This result far exceeded his expectations, and Chen Caijun did not let him down. But in this way, the original production capacity set by Tiangong Automobile Company is not enough. "Talent, has the company set a strategy for sales?" Sitting on the soft chair, Xia Yu looked at Chen Caijun and asked. Chen Caijun replied respectfully: ¡°Chairman, the company¡¯s management has passed a meeting and passed the sales plan. Prior to the sales, it will participate in the International Auto Show in Geneva, Switzerland on January 22 this year. The response of the company will determine the mass production quantity and sales direction." happened to coincide with the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland! As far as he knows, the time of the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland is not fixed, sometimes in January and February, sometimes in June and July, and sometimes in September or October. I didn''t expect this year to be in January. It is January 4th, and it is only half a month before the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland. Xia Yu has more confidence in these six cars than Chen Caijun and others. He believes that once these six cars are exhibited, Tiangong Automobile will definitely become a new star in the International Auto Show and cause a huge sensation. By then, the global media resources in his hands will be piled up again, the effect will be... Under this model, the first-phase production capacity of 100,000 vehicles per year is far from enough! "Talent, what''s the current situation of the company''s production capacity?" Xia Yu looked at the busy assembly line in the distance and asked faintly. Chen Caijun replied without hesitation: "Chairman, the first phase of the plant has been put into use, the production line has also been fully opened, and the annual production capacity can reach 100,000 vehicles." "The second phase of the plant has also been completed. According to your opinion last year, the size of the second phase of the plant was twice as large as it is now, enough to increase the company''s production capacity by 200,000 vehicles. The production line has been pulled back, but there is no assembly line yet. It will be decided based on market conditions." "The third phase of the plant is already under construction, and the scale is the same as the second phase. If it is completed and the production line is assembled, it can increase the company''s production capacity by 200,000 vehicles, but the production line has not been ordered for the time being, and the construction speed has slowed down a bit." "No way!" Xia Yu directly vetoed it, causing Chen Caijun''s face to change, and a heart was raised in his throat. Xia Yu glanced at him and comforted a little: "I''m not blaming you, don''t be nervous." "Chairman, I''m not nervous." Chen Caijun hurriedly shook his head and said. Xia Yu did not struggle with this either. "You take me to see the second and third phase plants." He told Chen Caijun to take him to the second phase of the factory building and the third phase of the factory under construction. At this look, half an hour passed. In the end, Xia Yu and others stood in the open space of the third phase of the plant under construction. The land has already been leveled, and Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. is undertaking construction. Looking around, it can be seen that many large machinery and workers are busy. Xia Yu told Chen Caijun: "Caijun, I have a hunch that at this Geneva International Auto Show, we will detonate the market. The current production capacity is far from enough. The second phase of the plant will be opened soon, and the assembly and debugging production line will be mass-produced. " "Plus the second phase of the plant is put into use, the production capacity is only 300,000 vehicles per year. My expectation is to reach a production capacity of one million vehicles." "Therefore, the construction of the third phase of the plant must be accelerated, and the fourth phase of the plant will be built directly on a scale capable of accommodating 500,000 vehicles. I will let Jiuding Infrastructure build it 24 hours. An annual production capacity of one million vehicles stunned Chen Caijun. This is the capacity that the world''s largest car companies can have. Now the industry has defaulted to a line. Automobile companies with sales of less than one million vehicles cannot enter the world''s first-line camp. Only sales of more than one million vehicles can be called! Chairman''s handwriting...It is as big as ever. He came back to his senses immediately and did not question the opinion of the chairman. He just hurriedly said his own question: "Chairman, because of the assembly experience of the first stage assembly line, the second stage assembly line can be completed in April. Debug and use." "But if the production capacity is to be increased to one million vehicles per year, the funds on the company''s account are seriously insufficient." Xia Yu asked directly: "How much money is left on the company''s books, and how much money do you need?" Chen Caijun replied immediately: "Chairman, you injected 500 million Hong Kong dollars into the company at the beginning. You have spent more than 418 million Hong Kong dollars, leaving only 80 million Hong Kong dollars." "However, the company originally had a joint production plant for cars and motorcycles in Indonesia with Honda, and together with its subsidiary Renfu Automobile Trading Co., Ltd., it has also earned more than 230 million Hong Kong dollars in the past two years." "So in addition to the temporary backlog of unsettled payments, there are only more than 310 million Hong Kong dollars left on the company''s books." "The investment in the production line and plant with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles that we built before was about 150 million Hong Kong dollars." "If the production capacity is to be mentioned as one million vehicles per year, there is still a shortfall of about 770 million Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu quickly calculated it in his heart and found that the figures reported by Chen Caijun were very conservative. Together with the current funds and the previous use, it happened to be 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to build a one million annual production capacity factory. He estimated that as for the company''s operations, it must be a certain amount of time needed to build a new plant and order and assemble the production line. During this time, Tiangong Automobile can still generate income from its original business and can maintain the company''s operations. This is tightening the belt of the trousers, ready to plan carefully. This is the one who will be in charge! Only at this time, Chen Caijun does not need to do this. Xia Yu now happens to have money and no place to spend. Not to mention that the eight major teams of Galaxy Fund are still reaping the benefits of liquidation. Just not long ago, eight companies went public, and they collected 5.2 billion Hong Kong dollars for him. Local flowers. Putting the money earned in the capital market into industry, the benefits to Xiangjiang are unlimited. Xia Yu did not blink his brows, waved his big hand, and said proudly: "I will inject another 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars into the company. You can achieve the annual production capacity of one million vehicles at the fastest speed." "As for how the production capacity is allocated, you adjust it according to the orders received at the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland. At best, it will only take more than half a month." "In the past half a month, first make a clear plan for the plant." "Besides, you have to build Tiangong Motor''s 4S system right away, which requires a lot of investment. Specific experienceyou go to learn from Rolls-Royce Motor Group." "Before the 4S system is built, you can borrow the Rolls-Royce Motor Group for the time being, and I will greet you there." "At the same time, the company must also make plans. If the auto show is very good and our million-capacity production capacity is not enough, then we must choose locations in Europe and the United States to build factories, and make full use of resources and save production costs as much as possible. " Although Chen Caijun doesn''t think that Tiangong Automobile will be able to sell one million cars a year immediately, the chairman''s words still ignited his blood. The chairman of the board again injected 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in capital, far exceeding the number he reported. It is both motivation and pressure. He will definitely work hard and not let the chairman down! "Chairman, I assure you that I will do my best to complete the task!" Chen Caijun held up his chest and said firmly. Xia Yu smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "I am waiting for you to return from Geneva with victory!" "Yes!" "I''m leaving now, so keep busy." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu refused to send Chen Caijun off and left Tiangong Automobile Company by car. Next, let¡¯s look at the results of more than half a month... PS: Two more in one 4k5, ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation, thank you! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1172: The Horror Gains of Galaxy Fund Chapter 1172 The Horror Income of the Galaxy Fund January 16, the weather, sunny. The conference room of the Galaxy Fund which had been idle for nearly half a year was opened again, and there was a lot of laughter in the conference room. When Xia Yu stepped into the meeting room, the chatting and laughter stopped. Xia Yu smiled slightly, glanced over the faces of Liu Xiao, Tang Yong and others, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is in a good mood, not bad!" "Hi boss!" Everyone got up and greeted Xia Yu in unison. Xia Yu walked to the top vacancy, waved to the crowd to sit down: "Sit down, I haven''t seen you for half a year, has he become so restrained?" "Hey..." Everyone couldn''t help but laugh, and they all sat down again. After Xia Yu took his seat, he didn''t immediately enter the topic, but carefully observed everyone''s appearance. Liu Xiao and others could not help but sit tightly and show their best spirit. For a long time, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said: "Yes, I haven''t seen you in half a year, everyone is not thin, and the spirits are better than each." "For more than half a year, everyone has worked hard!" "Boss, we don''t work hard, this is what we should do!" "Thank you boss for caring!" "¡­¡­" Everyone said in a rush, even though Xia Yu was only a concern, but it also made everyone feel warm. Because he made a lot of money, Xia Yu was in a good mood. He also understood the mood that everyone hadn''t seen for half a year, so after a while, he clapped his hands to calm everyone down and officially stepped into today''s topic. "Okay, everyone, please be quiet, now we have a formal meeting." "The Chinese New Year will be coming soon. It is a good thing that everyone can come back all years ago." "Today''s meeting is very simple, just two processes." "In the first process, each team will report the results." "The second process, rewards on merit!" Everyone lifted their spirits and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu did not procrastinate, and directly directed to Liu Xiao on the left hand side: "Start with Liu Xiao, report the results one by one clockwise." "Liu Xiao, tell me." Liu Xiao cleared his throat, took the compiled data, and said loudly: "My team is responsible for shorting the offshore currency exchange rates of Mexico, Argentina, Chile...10 countries, of which shorting the Mexican peso has a profit of 1.23 billion. US$2.67 million, short Argentine peso profit is 1.147.66 million US dollars, short Chilean peso profit is US$1,13.75 million...... The total profit is 67 US$443.8 million, with a yield of 539.5%." "Papa Papa..." After reading, Xia Yu took the lead in applauding and congratulating. There was a burst of warm applause in the conference room. Many people looked a little sad, and it was obvious that Liu Xiao''s group had a higher income than theirs. After coming back and before the meeting, everyone abide by the confidentiality regulations and did not tell others about their own group. Therefore, everyone did not know that Liu Xiao''s group had such a high income! The yield of 539.5% is terrifying! Of course, this rate of return is relative to the US$1.25 billion in principal used at the beginning. As for how to leverage leverage and how much funds are mobilized, it is irrelevant. After all, this profit is deducted from the leverage fee. . After Liu Xiao sat down, there was no need for Xia Yu to name him. Ma Kai, who was sitting next to Liu Xiao, immediately reported: "My group is responsible for shorting the stock markets of Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia... ten countries, because these ten countries now have US dollars and foreign exchange. The reserve is almost zero, so the principal of US$1.25 billion and the profit earned cannot be converted into US dollars to escape. At present, all the funds have been replaced by shares of various oil and mineral companies. The specific list of assets is very large. It has been handed over to the boss, so there will be no report here." "As for the specific amount of income, after converting it into U.S. dollars according to the latest exchange rates of various countries, the short-selling Mexican stock market has a gain of 1,179.44 million U.S. dollars, and the short-selling Argentine stock market has a gain of... US$19.7 million. The yield is 49.8%." "Papa Papa..." Although Ma Kai''s income is lower, it is also very scary and received warm applause. Xia Yu, who has read the asset list of Ma Kai''s group, also smiled and applauded, obviously very satisfied with the results of Ma Kai''s group. Think about it, plus the principal amount of US$1.55 billion, which is equivalent to ten countries including Mexico and Argentina. He already owns more than US$7.4 billion in assets such as equity in oilfields, mining and related companies. . Many of them are the shares of listed companies. The shares of these companies have been taken down after they have shrunk severely. They had to rise by a large amount a year ago. Of course, I can think about it, but now it is not possible to calculate it according to this logic, otherwise it would be unfair to others. After Ma Kai, Wang Gang was responsible for shorting the offshore exchange rates of nine countries including Brazil, Venezuela and Peru. The total profit of his group was 6.27 billion U.S. dollars, and the yield was 5%. At 1002.4, it surpassed Ma Kai''s group and temporarily ranked second. Liu Wei¡¯s group is shorting the stock markets of nine countries including Brazil, Venezuela, and Peru. Like Ma Kai¡¯s group, the profits cannot be brought out. All the bottoms are exchanged for equity in oil fields, mines or companies in the corresponding fields in these nine countries. The total profit is 68.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the yield is 48.5%. The next four groups are Tang Yong, Xue He, Song Yang and Li De. Tang Yong¡¯s team was responsible for shorting the banks in the United States and Canada. The total profit was $6.381.2 million and the yield was 57.9%. Xue He¡¯s team is responsible for short-selling European banks, with a total profit of 6.32.4 million U.S. dollars and a yield of 482.6%. Song Yang¡¯s team is responsible for shorting banks outside of North America and Europe. Perhaps because banks outside of Europe and the United States are not deeply involved in the sovereign debt of countries such as Latin America, his team has the lowest income, only 5.384 billion. Ten thousand US dollars, the rate of return is 4.37%. The last one is Li De¡¯s team, responsible for the long USD exchange rate, with a total income of 6.274.5 million US dollars and a yield of 501.96. The total revenue of the eight teams is 493.33 billion US dollars! plus the ten billion dollars of principal used by the Galaxy Fund. Nowadays, the Galaxy Fund¡¯s accounts have a total of 59.33 billion U.S. dollars in assets! The reason why we don''t talk about funds is because the profit and principal of Ma Kai''s team and Liu Wei''s team have been replaced by assets of 19 Latin American countries. The total revenue of the two teams combined is $12,240.9 million. plus the initial principal of the two teams of US$1.25 billion each. So now Xia Yu owns as much as 14.74 billion U.S. dollars of equity in oilfields, mines and companies in the corresponding fields in 19 Latin American countries. In addition, there is still a total of 44.56 billion US dollars in circulating funds! For this plan, he laid out more than a year before and after. Although it took a long time, the benefits were extremely amazing. Not to mention that he used this Latin American sovereign debt crisis to successfully pit the Rothier family miserably. He also successfully won the equity of several banks and made a lot of money. He has made a lot of money, so naturally he won''t treat people who have worked for him. In a good mood, Xia Yu said with a kind smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Next, proceed to the second process, and reward the merits." "First of all, each of your teams can get a 1% commission of the team¡¯s profit as a bonus." "thank you boss!" everyone shouted happily. One percent is already a lot. They thought it would be good to get five thousandths. They didn''t expect the boss to be so generous this time. According to a one percent commission, even the Song Yang team with the least income can get $53.48 million! When the eight teams add up, the boss has to give out more than 493 million US dollars as a bonus. This is the biggest bonus they have won with Xia Yu. And the surprise is not over yet. "and also!" Xia Yu continued with a smile: "This time according to the rate of return, the top three will have prizes." "The Liu Xiao team, the first place, has a profit rate of 539.5% and an award of 30 million US dollars." "The second-placed Tang Yong team has a return of 507.9% and an award of 20 million US dollars." "The third place Wang Gang team has a return rate of 502.4% and a reward of 10 million US dollars." "Papa Papa..." "thank you boss!" Everyone applauded in admiration, Liu Xiao and the other three stood up to thank them. After the applause stopped, Xia Yu looked at Li De and said encouragingly: "Li De, your group is very sorry, the income is less than five million less than Wang Gang''s group, and the rate of return is only 0.44. Percentage points, but don¡¯t be discouraged and keep working hard next time there is a big action." Li De took a deep breath and solemnly said: "Boss, I will not let you down. I will definitely win a prize next time." "No, I want to fight first!" Xia Yu reminded with a smile. "Yes, fight for the first place!" "This time the honor of first place will be worn by Liu Xiao temporarily." Li De held up his chest, replied loudly, looking at Liu Xiao with fighting spirit. Liu Xiao also solemnly looked at Li De, UU reading said in a deep voice: "Then compare again next time!" "Anyway, the next first time, it must be mine!" Seeing the conversation between the two, Song Yang, who had the lowest profit, clenched his fists, the excitement that the team had received more than 50 million dollars in commission had disappeared. Next time, he has to fight for a sigh of relief. He is also number one, only the last one. The last one is too shameful! Not only Song Yang, but the bottom-ranked Xue He and Liu Wei also secretly held their breath, planning to sum up this action immediately, and then strengthen their own tempering, strive to improve their ability, and the next time they act, they will also be successful. All of this was seen by Xia Yu, and the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but bend a curve. "Well, the income of your respective teams must be distributed as soon as possible. As the team leader, you will get three tiers of bonuses. The remaining 70% must be reasonably distributed to the team members. It must be reasonable and must be convinced." "At that time, the teams will show me the distribution list, and try to put the money into your account in these two days." "If you finish it earlier, you can have your vacation earlier. You and your family have not been in contact for more than half a year, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so you can relax yourself." "Yes!" ¡­¡­ Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1173: Oil and mining company Xia Yu is very satisfied with the results of the Galaxy Fund in this operation. With this battle, his small vault, which was about to bottom out, was filled again. Holding more than US$44 billion in circulating funds, and being able to withdraw at least US$10 billion of funds from the consortium at any time, this huge wealth cannot allow Xia Yu to do whatever he wants in the world, but it can also be done. A lot of things. As for equity in oil fields, mines, and companies in the corresponding fields that are now worth $14.7 billion in 19 countries including Latin America, Xia Yu has learned in detail. Among them, various mines and mining companies have more equity, and the Galaxy Fund spent nearly 7.8 billion US dollars to buy at the bottom. The shares of oil fields and oil companies were purchased at a bargain-hunting cost of US$6.943 billion. Of course, these two categories are bought at low prices. If they are placed before the outbreak of the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America and other countries, their value will at least double, which means that the combined value of these assets is more than 30 billion US dollars. It¡¯s just that there is no market for prices. The poor conditions in Latin America and other countries have also led to the poor operating conditions of companies in these countries. Now that the international crude oil price has experienced the previous price of thirty-nine dollars a barrel, it has been declining. Now the life of oil companies is getting worse. And according to the current global economic situation and historical trends, the international crude oil prices will continue to fall for the next three to four years, and even afterwards will plunge directly to a trough of about ten dollars a barrel before they begin to rebound. But at that price, a lot of oil companies will be killed, and many oil companies around the world will be on the verge of bankruptcy or bankruptcy, leading to a series of mergers and acquisitions in the oil field around the world. The mining sector is also terrible. In the context of the global economic slump, the industry is of course unable to stand up. Iron ore is needed for steel, the biggest pillar of the industry. Xia Yu is very clear that from the oil crisis in 1973 to the present, and even the next ten or two decades, the global steel industry will be difficult to engage in. The US steel industry lacks international competitiveness. In 1979, U.S. Steel, a subsidiary of the Cleveland Consortium, lost more than $800 million, and its 13 steel plants closed down. There have been steel companies going bankrupt over the years, and there will be a lot of steel companies going bankrupt and reorganizing in the future. It was not until 2008, when China bought and bought the world, the iron ore industry took off, and the price of most other metal ore soared. So for now, it is not the best time to enter the oil and mining fields. Whether it was in 1985 or 1987, there were great opportunities, and now forcibly entering, it is laborious and expensive. This is not what the wise call it. After all, he is not rich and has no place to spend, not to the point. Therefore, Xia Yu only intends to get started temporarily. So he set up two offshore holding companies, Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company, and put the two types of assets under the names of these two companies, and these two companies are responsible for supervision. The shares of these two holdings have been hidden in a very complicated way. Unless all three offshore paradise in the world disclose their secrets, no one can point out that these two companies have a relationship with Xia Yu. In addition to Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu also learned about companies such as Bright Fund, Polaris Capital, Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities. These companies all received Xia Yu''s reminder, so they all acted before the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out, and this time they also made a lot of money. The combined benefit of the four companies reached US$9.7 billion. It''s just that Xia Yu didn''t transfer the money. As the assets of these four companies, Peter Lynch and George Berkeley used them to grow their respective companies. After all, whether it is Bright Fund or Polaris Capital, in Xia Yu''s mind, it is equivalent to a consortium entering Europe and the United States, and the demand for funds is not too much. Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities, as the two giants in the financial industry, want to break hands with the world''s giants, the demand for funds is also extremely amazing. In the following time, Xia Yu plunged into the annual reports of various companies. He was in meetings and read documents almost every day. When he had time, he visited some companies on site to understand the most real situation. Of course, except for some minor problems, he has not found any major corporate corruption problems. This is also related to the approval mechanism and management mechanism that he determined for the use of funds. Large amounts of funds must be reported to him, and the chairman¡¯s office is responsible for reviewing them before giving it to him. There are double restrictions. The most important thing is the management mechanism. This has to mention the Standard Accounting Firm in his hands, the largest accounting firm in Asia. The financial department of each company is set up by a standard accounting firm, and in order to prevent the firm¡¯s accountants from messing around with the company¡¯s personnel, the financial assignment period is also half a year and then randomly assigned. In detail, the financial department of each company is not tied to the performance of each company. Salaries and bonuses are paid by a standard accounting firm. They have no interest in themselves and can be ignored. The accountants will break up and regroup every six months, and randomly select the companies they want to go to. This avoids the risk of collusion and corruption caused by an accountant staying in a certain company for a long time. In addition, the group level will also specially appoint special personnel to form an audit investigation team. The audit investigation team will audit the financial affairs of each company throughout the year. If a company¡¯s financial problems are not found by the assigned financial staff, once the problems are discovered by the audit investigation team, they will be dealt with according to the situation. If it occurs during the period of assignment of the financial department, then the financial department will be processed, and the report will be reported to the top, and then the top will report back to the company for disposal. If it is a problem during the term of the predecessor¡¯s or former predecessor¡¯s assignment to the financial department, it was not discovered until the subsequent audit, then the assigned financial department of the period when the problem occurred was the main responsibility, and the subsequent financial department was responsible for each period ~ www. novelhall.com~ As for the salary and bonus of the audit investigation team, they are linked to the problems they find. The more and more serious problems they find, the more generous the bonus. Therefore, every time the audit investigation team can''t wait to turn the bottom up and find out all the problems. These rewards and punishment measures and management regulations are like high-tension wires, woven into a network, which has greatly suppressed the problem of corruption before it buds out and guaranteed Xia Yu''s interests to the greatest extent. This set of mechanisms was formulated by Xia Yu in combination with the political mechanism of the previous life of China. I have to say, very effective. Except for the detection of many problems when this mechanism first started, as time passed, fewer and fewer problems were detected. It is not that the regulatory mechanism is invalid, but that fewer and fewer people dare to take risks. When Xia Yu combed his assets. Chen Caijun has taken the Tiangong Automobile Group team and the exhibited cars to Geneva, Switzerland. At this time, other large and small car companies around the world also came here with masterpieces that will be mass-produced this year or the next few years. came here with media from all over the world. The Geneva International Motor Show, Switzerland, will open soon! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1174: Rolls-Royce Motor Group The Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland originated from the "National Cars and Bicycles" exhibition in Switzerland in 1905. At that time, all important internal combustion engines and steam-powered cars in the history of the automobile industry were exhibited. But in addition to the successful holding of the first two years, the third edition was complained about pollution, and the Swiss national auto show had to go to Zurich. Then from 1908 to 1922, including the period of World War I, was the confusion period of the entire national auto show in Switzerland. Naturally, the Geneva International Auto Show could not develop and its influence gradually declined. Until 1923, Geneva once again held the International Auto Show, and it was a great success, so that more people compared it with the international auto shows held in the four major cities of Paris, London, Berlin, and New York. Since then, it has been on the right track. Until the 1950s, the European internal tariff barriers were gradually eliminated, making the European car market unprecedentedly prosperous, and the auto show also showed a long-lost bustle. The Geneva International Auto Show has become a "new sacred place" for major car companies. They all like to bring new cars that have not yet been mass-produced to the exhibition, in order to determine the production quantity based on market feedback, and also to preheat in advance to facilitate subsequent sales. After more than 20 years of development, there were some problems because the venue could not keep up with the times. It was not until 1981, that is, two years ago, that the International Exhibition Center in Paleisberg, Switzerland was officially put into use. The super large exhibition center of square meters has initially solved its long-standing lack of space, and Switzerland is continuing to expand the exhibition hall. Today, the influence of the Geneva International Auto Show in Switzerland has surpassed the international auto shows in the three European cities of Paris, London and Berlin, and it is also the only international auto show held annually in Europe. This year¡¯s Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland will be held from January 22 to January 27. In addition to vehicle manufacturers, large auto parts suppliers such as West Germany Bosch and Xia Yu¡¯s Canadian Magna International also exhibited with the most advanced technologies. On January 21, Chen Caijun and his team were preparing to check the layout of his staff in the exhibition center. Just after walking in the door, he saw a familiar figure. He fixed his eyes, and it was Rudolf Brooke, the president of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. He went to the headquarters of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in the UK and talked about cooperation with Rudolf Brook, and because of the reasons explained above, the two had a good relationship, and Rudolf Brook did not despise Chen Caijun. . "President Brooke!" Rudolf Brook, who was looking at the subordinate commander setting up the exhibition area of ??the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group, suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked back, and when he saw Chen Caijun, he suddenly smiled kindly to Chen Caijun and others walking towards him. Welcomed. "President Chen, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw you, it¡¯s nice to see you!" "Me too, I didn''t expect to meet you here today." Chen Caijun said with a smile, and the two shook hands and separated. Chen Caijun glanced behind Rudolph Brooke and said enviously: "President Brooke, Rolls-Royce''s booth location is great. Is this booth No. 5 in booth A?" Rudolf Brooke smiled and nodded: "Yes." Chen Caijun flattered with envy: "It''s an enviable position, but only the most central position is in line with the strength of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group." Rudolf Brooke said humorously: "It is also possible that I and the person in charge of the Geneva Motor Show are friends, so he gave me this position." Chen Caijun laughed dumbly and didn''t mention it again. Just listen to this cold joke. Maybe there is a reason, but this kind of personal connection is definitely not the main reason. He will take it seriously if he is stupid. He knows that the auto brands under the Rolls-Royce Motor Group have fully covered all grades of the automotive field. Last year¡¯s total auto production exceeded two million. It is now one of the top ten auto companies in the world and only in Europe. The Volkswagen Group, which is second to West Germany, surpasses French icons Citroen, Renault, Italian Fiat and West German BMW, ranking second in Europe and first in the UK. In addition, the top luxury car brands under the Rolls-Royce Motor Group, led by Rolls-Royce and Bentley, have gained momentum in the world in the past two years, with amazing sales, occupying the largest share of the world''s top luxury car market. Because the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is not a listed company and has not announced its financial reports, Chen Caijun does not know its specific revenue and profit. But he has read the earnings report of General Motors in the United States. Last year, the production and sales of cars reached 6.2 million, the film industry revenue was 58.6 billion U.S. dollars, and the net loss was 500 million U.S. dollars. The Rolls-Royce Motor Group announced that the number of cars produced and sold was 2.13 million, which is more than one-third of the world''s largest car company, General Motors. Considering that the proportion of luxury cars sold in the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is higher than that of General Motors, it can be guessed that the annual revenue of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group must exceed 20 billion US dollars. As for the net profit, Chen Caijun can''t guess this kind of confidentiality. But in the face of these published data that can be guessed, the current Tiangong Motor Group is not worthy to give the Rolls-Royce Motor Group shoes. This time, as a new car company, Tiangong Automobile Group can have a booth here, which is already the result of the great help of Rolls-Royce Motor Group. Although the location is very remote, only in the farthest H exhibition area, it has also won the largest position in the H exhibition area for the Tiangong Automobile Group, with as many as six parking spaces. Chen Caijun has also learned about the Balesburg International Exhibition Center. There will be more than 180 car companies participating in this exhibition, but there are only more than 700 parking spaces. On average, each car company has less than four parking spaces. The location of the exhibition area. Considering that the world''s top ten auto companies, such as General Motors and Rolls-Royce Motor Group, have at least more than a dozen parking spaces, we can know the actual situation of those car companies. Without the strong support of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group, even if the Tiangong Automobile Group can enter, it will not get the exhibition space for six parking spaces, even in the most remote H zone! "President Brooke, how many cars did you bring to the exhibition at this auto show?" During the interrogation, Chen Caijun looked at the cars behind Rudolf Brooke that were covered by red cloth. Rudolf Brooke said with a smile, "A total of fourteen cars." "Are they all new models?" Chen Caijun asked with shock in his eyes. Rudolf Brooke shook his head and said, "Only ten are new models, and the other four are only improved versions. Although there are adjustments, they are not considered major changes." "There are also a lot of ten new models, and the strength of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is strong." "I look forward to tomorrow, when Rolls-Royce will shock everyone again." Rudolf Brooke smiled modestly: "Hope, after all, the world''s top ten car companies are here, and there are still many stronger than Rolls-Royce. We only rushed to it in the past two years." "Are your six cars new models?" Chen Caijun nodded immediately: "Yes!" Rudolf Brook knew that Tiangong Automobile Group was a car company created by the big boss behind the scenes. He thought of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Continental, which were designed under the guidance of the big boss. These two cars let The Rolls-Royce Motor Group regained its glory, and then it was the guidance and inspiration of the big BOSS, which made the Rolls-Royce Motor Group''s car-making concept have a leap-like improvement, and it was able to make a big step every year. Les Motor Group has entered the ranks of the world''s top ten auto companies. Today, the Industry and Automobile Group suddenly produced six new models, more than the original Rolls-Royce Motor Group. Although Tiangong Automobile Group is not well-known in the automotive field, his instinct tells him This time, Tiangong Automobile Group will definitely be the biggest dark horse in this international auto show! He has a keen interest in the six cars of Tiangong Automobile Group. "President Chen, I am also looking forward to tomorrow." "I can''t wait to see your new car." "I look forward to your shining in Paleisberg!" Thinking of the six cars he had brought, Chen Caijun had infinite confidence and expectation in his heart. He looked firmly and said: "We came with this purpose!" Rudolf Brooke''s eyes lit up, and he became more and more looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "Then I am more looking forward to it!" ¡­¡­ After chatting for a few more words, Chen Caijun took the team to the exhibition area where Tiangong Automobile Group was located, and he had to make sure that nothing went wrong. Tomorrow will be the day when Tiangong Automobile makes its debut. There must be no mistakes! Checked back and forth three times, until the sun was about to set, Chen Caijun reluctantly left the exhibition center and returned to the Solder Hotel where he was staying. There was nothing to say all night, as the fiery red sun rises from the east, the much-anticipated opening ceremony of the Geneva International Motor Show is about to begin! PS: The second one will be sent, and I ask for a monthly pass, thank you! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1175: Tiangong car is on fire! After extensive publicity, car dealers or enthusiasts from all over the world came to participate in the Geneva International Motor Show. As for tourists from other European countries, there are more tourists. After all, in Europe with interconnected railways, only a few tourists from other countries come to Switzerland. Hours are enough. Early in the morning, a large number of visitors waiting to enter the exhibition center gathered at the entrance of the Palestine International Exhibition Center. Maybe I know that everyone will be impatient after waiting for a long time. The protagonist is a car in the exhibition hall. Therefore, the opening ceremony of the Geneva International Motor Show did not take a long time, only half an hour before and after. This time, the Geneva International Auto Show is very grand. The world''s top ten auto companies, General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Chrysler, Rolls Royce, Toyota, etc. are all here. According to statistics, in this international auto show, there are 186 auto companies from 37 countries around the world, bringing 716 cars to the exhibition, and the data is more than the previous year. After the opening ceremony, visitors lined up to enter the exhibition center through the security check. The visitors who entered were immediately attracted by the new cars of the top ten car companies such as Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen, and General Motors. The booths of each car company were crowded with people, admiring the beauty of the cars as well. Car model. At this time, in the H exhibition area, which is the farthest from the gate. Chen Caijun and a group of fifteen people, all dressed in decent formal attire, await the arrival of visitors with the best mental appearance. The six cars brought by Tiangong Automobile Group are destined to attract attention. Although the visitors have not yet arrived, the colleagues in the surrounding exhibition area have been attracted by the cars of Tiangong Automobile Group. Feeling the probing gaze projected from the colleagues around him, the corner of Chen Caijun''s mouth was curved. He looked at the six brand new cars quietly placed around him, and secretly said to himself: "Success is absolutely ours! Tiangong Motors shines in Geneva after all!" "Hmm!" He coughed slightly, and after attracting the attention of all the employees, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone cheer up, wait for the visitors to come, don''t panic, and follow the division of labor yesterday." "Yes!" The employees subconsciously raised their heads and raised their chests and responded in unison. The first highlight moment is destined to belong to the most central area of ??those large car companies that have a huge reputation on a global scale. After waiting for a long time, scattered visitors went to other exhibition areas, and other exhibition areas began to gain popularity. ¡­¡­ Paul Carr is an American, and he was an apprentice in a car repair shop early from a poor family. And he is not lacking in the spirit of hard work, he just started as a car mechanic, accumulating capital step by step, and successfully opened an automobile trading company five years ago, completing the gorgeous turn from worker to boss. After five years of hard work, his Paul Carr Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. has also gained a certain reputation in Illinois. It can sell more than 400 cars a year and has an annual turnover of more than 5 million US dollars! He used to act as an agent for the sales of American auto brands such as General Motors and Ford. But in the past two years, because of the second oil crisis, gasoline prices have risen, and the US economy has not improved, and the lives of the American people have become more and more difficult. But American cars are notoriously high fuel consumption, and the American people cannot afford to refuel. At this time, the island country¡¯s Toyota, Nissan and other car companies formed a group to attack the North American market. The island country¡¯s car is not as heavy as the American car, and the safety factor is not necessarily as high as that of the American car of the same level, but it has the biggest advantage, that is, fuel economy! Therefore, the market share of island cars in the US market has been increasing. The rise of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the UK has also changed its appearance. Many brands and models have become fuel-efficient, and they are also conquering the US market. Foreign cars are constantly squeezing the market of domestic auto companies in the United States, grabbing cakes, and making life difficult for auto trade companies such as Paul Carr who sell local cars as an agent. But Paul Carr is not a rigid person, and he has no national sentiments. In his eyes, the dollar is the largest. Therefore, with a strong sense of crisis, he intends to adjust his direction to see if he can find a car with the potential to replace GM and Ford. And once a year, the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland, known as the "New Sacred Land", has become the best platform for him to find his goals. Walking around, he saw many new cars from auto companies, but none of them surprised him. It was just when he walked to the H exhibition area and was about to turn around and return, a red roadster and three strangely shaped cars not far away aroused his interest. There is a sports car in H area? This red convertible sports car is the first sports car he saw in the H exhibition area! Which small car is ready to enter the super money-burning sports car field? "Tiangong Automobile?" After Paul Carr approached, he looked at the car company''s name on the booth, and he said it out. Very strange! Paul Carr can be sure that this is a car company that he has never heard of. Looking at the yellow skin of these employees, you can see that this is a car company from Asia, and it must be a small brand. He couldn''t help but feel disappointed. "This gentleman, welcome to visit our Tiangong Automobile. I am the president of Tiangong Automobile. This is our company''s business card." The temperament of a successful person in Paul Carr caught Chen Caijun''s attention, and he walked over and smiled and handed out his business card. turned out to be the president of a company! Paul Carr was taken aback, smiled and took the business card. Regardless of whether it is a new car company, it is eligible to come here to participate in the exhibition. This Tiangong Automobile Group must be far ahead of his Paul Carl Automobile Trading Company, and Chen Caijun, as the president, is definitely above him. He looked at the business card, then stuffed it into his pocket, and asked with a smile: "President Chen, my name is Paul Carl, from an automobile trade company in the United States, can you introduce your new car to me?" "Of course, this is my pleasure!" Knowing that Paul Carr is a member of an automobile trade company, Chen Caijun''s eyes are brighter and his smile is more than three-pointers, and he directly leads him to the red sports car. "Mr. Paul Carr, this car is named Fengshen I. It is the first sports car designed and produced by our company. The body size is 3960¡Á1650¡Á1230 (mm), the wheelbase is 2275mm, and the curb weight is 950 kg. Power part It is equipped with a Rolls-Royce 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 115 horsepower and a peak torque of 135 N/m. With a 5-speed manual transmission, the front-rear drive layout is accelerated from 0-100km/h in 8.7 seconds. The top speed is 202km/h......" As Chen Caijun continued to introduce the parameters of the Fengshen generation, the smile on Paul Carr, who was very familiar with cars, disappeared, he was greatly disappointed, and his impression of Tiangong Automobile was also lost by three points. Although this Aeolus generation is very eye-catching, it is absolutely cool when it is driven out, but with these performances, this sports car is destined to be garbage in the sports car industry. is really a small car company that does not know the heights of the sky! The change in Paul Carr¡¯s expression was seen by Chen Caijun, but as long as Paul Carr did not leave, he would not be anxious. For this Fengshen generation, the company specifically discussed the marketing strategy, which can be summed up in one sentence-first suppress and then raise, and give customers the deepest impression with huge contrast. As long as you have an impression, you have taken the most critical step for success! "President Chen, this sports car of your company may not be welcomed by the market." Paul Carr was a little uncomfortable, but he didn''t want to offend anyone, saying in a joking tone. "This is not necessarily true!" Chen Caijun shook his head confidently and said. "Because of our Fengshen generation sports car, the prescribed market retail price is 16,800 US dollars!" After Paul Carr heard this price, he thought he had heard it wrong. He blinked, looked at Chen Caijun, and asked again: "How much is it?" Chen Caijun smiled and said, "Sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars!" This time, Paul Carr heard clearly, his eyes widened for an instant, and he said in surprise, "A sports car for $16,800?" "The price is too cheap!" "This is the cheapest sports car I have ever known!" "Yes, you heard that right, our Fengshen generation is positioned as a cheap sports car, and it is also the world''s first cheap sports car!" "Oh my God!" I got the affirmative answer from Chen Caijun. Paul Carr was a little unbelievable. He just walked around by himself and found the world''s first cheap sports car. "Mr. Paul Carr, although the performance of our sports car is far inferior to those top sports cars, it is also higher than the cars of the same level, and most importantly, it is a cool sports car!" "Do you think that the Fengshen generation, who has a cool sports car appearance but only the price of an ordinary car, can attract young people who are just out of the society and who are struggling but like to show off?" "If you were young, would you buy it?" Paul Carl thought about it, nodded with certainty and said, "I will buy it!" Paul Carr was also young. He is too aware of the mentality of young Americans. If a young American who likes to attend parties drives a sports car to the party, he will definitely be able to show off and win the hearts of girls! This is an undeveloped market! has a lot to do! Thinking of this, Paul Carr became excited. He seemed to see a gold mine beckoning to him. "President Chen, can you please give me a detailed introduction to this Fengshen generation?" "Of course, no problem!" Chen Caijun smiled, and then patiently introduced him to Paul Carr. If the Fengshen generation only surprises Paul Carr. Then the next generation of Shenyu and Glory gave him an intuitive understanding of the R&D strength of Tiangong Automobile Group. When I learned about Tiangong Automobile''s urban SUV series later, Paul Carr was hit by multiple crits, and the whole person was going crazy! What kind of fairy car company is Tiangong Automobile! Creativity is simply exploding! With his more than 20 years of experience and intuition in the automotive industry, he can say with certainty that Tiangong Automobile¡¯s urban SUV is definitely a pioneering work in the automotive field, and it can definitely attract middle-class men who have already married but like big guys. Jeep''s Cherokee series will usher in the biggest opponent! Tiangong X-series urban SUV is simply too attractive for a family! After reading it all, Paul Carr made a decision on the spot. General Motors and Ford Motors all stepped aside, he wanted the agent of Tiangong Automobile Group, he wanted to make money! But he still has some key information to confirm. "President Chen, have all your six cars been mass-produced?" Paul Carr asked impatiently. Chen Caijun smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, mass production has already begun. By April, the production capacity can be increased to 300,000 vehicles per year, and the production capacity can be increased to 1 million vehicles per year by October!¡± This efficiency and handwriting surprised Paul Carr again. But after being shocked, Paul Carr was overjoyed. He hurriedly said: "President Chen, to re-introduce, I am the owner of an automobile trade company in the United States. This is my business card. I hope to become your company''s automobile agent in North America. Business!" "OK, let''s go and talk!" Chen Caijun took Paul Carl directly to the rest area of ??Tiangong Automobile Group and started talking with him. When Paul Carr came here, he brought all the materials to prove his strength. He originally wanted to give it a try, and the lion opened his mouth and wanted to become the sole agent of Tiangong Automobile Group in the United States, but Chen Caijun firmly refused. Not only that, even the only agent in the eastern United States refused to give it to him, on the grounds that the strength of Paul Carr Automobile Trading Company is too weak. In the end, it was the fact that Paul Carr was the first agent to come to the door, and Chen Caijun decided to give him the sole agency of Illinois in the United States for two years. And Paul Carr is also a ruthless man. He decided to make an all-out effort on Tiangong Automobile Group and invited Tiangong Automobile Group to buy a stake in his Paul Carr Automobile Trading Company in order to avoid agency fees and obtain the greatest support from Tiangong Automobile Group. How could Chen Caijun refuse this kind of unexpected joy, he agreed without hesitation. Of course, specific details are not suitable for discussion here. The two agreed to find a suitable place to discuss in detail after the museum is closed tonight. After ¡¡¡¡, more and more people were attracted by the exhibition area of ??Tiangong Automobile Group. Paul Carr did not waste Chen Caijun''s precious time, but he has been watching around. UU reading www.uukANAnshu.com When seeing more and more dealers and auto media all over the world interested in the new cars of Tiangong Automobile Group, Paul Carr was determined in his heart, but also a sense of urgency and crisis arose. In the morning, the influence of Tiangong Automobile Group was limited to the H exhibition area. But in the afternoon, the entire Balesburg International Exhibition Center was surprised by the heat of the Tiangong Automobile Group in the most remote H exhibition area. The first cheap sports car in history! The first urban SUV in history! Each of these is breaking news! Many media who came to visit kept taking pictures of Tiangong Automobile Group''s cars. And the Mirror Group and Jiuding Newspaper Company also moved. Both companies have reached out to Switzerland through acquisitions. On the morning of the second day of the Geneva International Auto Show, the news of Tiangong Automobile Group was spread through newspapers. On this day, the popularity around the Tiangong Automobile Group''s exhibition area exploded, and it was not much better than the most central A exhibition area. Tiangong Automobile Group is on fire!

I will sort out the outline tonight and read the chapters in the past few days. It can be concluded that the quality has dropped significantly, and the plot must be pulled back. There will be no change tonight. Please forgive me. Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1176: 2 billion dollars! No one thought that on the first day of the Geneva International Motor Show this year, the little-known Tiangong Automobile Group was like a dark horse that attracted everyone''s attention. The explosion of several new cars of Tiangong Automobile Group naturally attracted the attention of all automobile companies exhibiting in Geneva. Each company sent people to observe closely, and sent various parameters back to their respective companies, and the company was responsible for research, judgment and analysis. . They are not sure whether Tiangong¡¯s Shenyu Generation and Glory Generation will sell well, but from the popularity of the Fengshen Generation and Tiangong X-series urban SUVs by visitors and dealers all over the world, it can be seen that these four cars are definitely required The best sellers. And this can also be reflected in the achievements of Tiangong Automobile Group in the entire Geneva International Motor Show. After the auto show closed on January 27th, Chen Caijun took a few large boxes, cooperation agreements, and the show car and boarded the plane back to Xiangjiang. The first time he returned to Xiangjiang, Chen Caijun came to Xia Yu''s office non-stop and reported to Xia Yu. "¡­¡­" "it is good!" "Good job, you didn''t let me down!" After hearing Chen Caijun''s description, Xia Yu was very happy and exclaimed. was praised by Xia Yu, Chen Caijun was overjoyed, but he still tried his best to modestly said: "It is the chairman of the board of directors, and these six cars are made under your guidance." "Haha..." Xia Yu couldn''t help but chuckled, and shook his head slightly and said: "Don''t be humble, I know your performance well." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chen Caijun, Xia Yu lowered his head again and looked at the concise and clear report that Chen Caijun had compiled urgently. This report is only two thin sheets of paper, but it is valuable, symbolizing the ferocious rise of Tiangong Automobile Group. In just six days of the Geneva International Motor Show, Chen Caijun was busy screening partners and humble cooperation agreements. The most indispensable in this world are the powerful and courageous businessmen. For example, Paul Carr at the beginning is a typical representative. When they saw the potential of Tiangong Automobile Group''s cars to be popular all over the world, dealers all over the world rushed to become the agent dealers of Tiangong Automobile Group. Chen Caijun was not dizzy, he still rigorously screened partners and planned the agency area strictly. Rao, in just five days, I have found partners in most countries in the world where there is a car sales market. Of course, in order to promote and sell their own cars as much as possible, no one except Paul Carr at the beginning can get the exclusive agency rights in a large area. However, in order to make these dealers dare to invest capital in publicity, Chen Caijun also stipulated that some areas have at most three agents. A total of 169 agency sales cooperation agreements were signed in five days. And these dealers also know that Tiangong Automobile Group''s production capacity was tight for a period of time, so in order to earn profits as soon as possible, they placed orders in advance. The total number of orders brought back by Chen Caijun is as high as 113,630 vehicles, and the total order value is as high as 2,45 million US dollars! In this way, more than 100,000 vehicles are produced and delivered, and a net profit of more than 200 million US dollars will be earned! This net profit alone is worthy of the 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars that Xia Yuyue injected into Tiangong Automobile Group at the beginning of the year! Although all the dealers have not paid part of the deposit into the Tiangong Automobile Group''s account because they have just signed the agreement, Chen Caijun can be sure that there will be at least US$800 million in deposit within a month. With this money, Tiangong Automobile Group can completely release its hands and feet to manufacture cars, and open branches and build after-sales systems all over the world. "Talents, returning to Xiangjiang is just the beginning. This year you will be under a lot of pressure. You must not lose the chain. You must check production. Product quality is the foundation of everything, especially for automobiles." "Although the order has now reached 110,000 vehicles, the market potential has not yet been stimulated." "As long as our first batch of cars are put on the market, after consumers see the real thing, the influence of our cars will expand rapidly, and orders will continue to flow in at that time." "The world''s major car companies must now have established R&D departments to specialize in our urban SUVs. With the strength of those giants, the research and development speed will be very fast, leaving us not much time to seize the market." "So under the premise of ensuring product quality, production speed is the most important thing, marketing must also be done well, you must lead a good team! Don''t go wrong!" "And you must be vigilant. Once there is any problem, you must first judge it. If you are not sure, you can directly report it to me." "Understand?" After Xia Yu put down the report materials, he admonished Chen Caijun with a serious look. Tiangong Automobile Group already has the momentum of Longteng Nine Heavens. This is undoubtedly a very happy thing, but this is just momentum. Besides, the orders for more than 110,000 vehicles seem to be a lot, but compared with the top ten auto companies in the world, the gap is still very large. Before the Tiangong Automobile Group can truly stand firm and grow up, it still has ubiquitous risks. Once those auto companies have captured a lot of interest from Tiangong Automobile Group, they will definitely not look at them. It is difficult to guarantee what methods they use. Tiangong Automobile Group is not only one of the pillars of his consortium, but also one of the pillars of driving the economic development of Xiangjiang, so Xia Yu should not be cautious. Xia Yu¡¯s heartfelt exhortation was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the joy and pride in Chen Caijun''s heart. He returned to his calmness again, and realized the severity of the future situation. He nodded heavily and said, "Chairman, please rest assured. After I go back, I will immediately call all the executives to convey your instructions, and make various production plans and risk prevention and control plans. I will definitely try my best to keep the company stable and fast. development of." Xia Yu smiled and said encouragingly: "Well, I see your performance, you need the resources of the group. You can apply, as long as it is useful, I will approve it." The power represented behind this promise has become greater, and Chen Caijun will naturally understand it. His heart was full of excitement, his face flushed because of this, and he responded loudly: "Chairman, I will not let you down!" "Ok!" "If there is nothing else, you can go back to the company as soon as possible." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Chairman, I have nothing else to do, then I won''t bother you." Chen Caijun stood up suddenly, bowed slightly to Xia Yu after speaking, and then quit the office, strutting away. After Chen Caijun left, Xia Yu looked at the phone at hand, remembering the many calls he received today, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Tiangong Automobile Group, as the largest local car company in Hong Kong, shines at the Geneva International Auto Show. Of course, it has caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. The people of Xiangjiang are very proud of this and are very keen to understand and discuss things about Tiangong Automobile Group. . In the local area of ??Xiangjiang, the call for Tiangong Automobile Group to sell its products as soon as possible is also very loud. This kind of public opinion situation, it is difficult for UU to read to keep a low profile. Of course, consumers and people who eat melons are waiting for the bus to be listed. But a group of big businessmen, they saw, but the small gold mines behind the big gold mine of Tiangong Automobile Group. Therefore, in the past few days, Xia Yu has received many congratulatory calls. In addition to the first congratulations, all of these calls are inquiring about Xia Yu''s attitude. It''s just that Xia Yu didn''t make a statement, and temporarily turned down the invitations on the grounds that there were many things at the end of the year. But now that Chen Caijun is back, some things are destined to be resolved. Since the Hong Kong Government issued the "Strategic Plan for Building the New Town of Tin Shuiwei and the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park" in May 1981 and the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of Strategic Leading Industries of "One Core and Six Pillars"", it has been up to now. It has been more than a year and a half. The core of the financial service industry is already a model. is the six pillars, but it''s still far away! Now that the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, covering an area of ??30 square kilometers, has mostly been constructed, it is time... PS: Sorry, Kavenka was so ecstatic, it just happened that the city was so eager to urge the census work, and it was so embarrassing that I broke my promise yesterday, so I came back from working overtime tonight and wrote that I had to drive out a chapter until two in the morning. Come, I hope everyone Haihan! Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1177: Improve the automotive industry system (large "A Yu, here comes, come in." In front of the Bao family mansion, after Xia Yu''s car entered, Bao Yugang, who was notified, came out with Huo Yingdong to greet Xia Yu. "It seems that I am the last to arrive again. I have kept you waiting." Xia Yu said with a smile. "What''s the matter? It''s the end of the year. I need to see various financial reports and various meetings. I feel dizzy every day." "Your company is much more than the two of us, understand." Bao Yugang laughed loudly, and took the initiative to explain Xia Yu. Huo Yingdong smiled and nodded and shouted: "Old Bao is right." "Let''s go, let''s go in and say." ¡­¡­ There were talks and laughs. The three of them entered the living room and sat down, drinking tea and chatting before dinner. Of course, I said it was small talk, but in fact the topic mainly revolved around Xia Yu. "Ayu, your Tiangong Automobile has soared to the Chinese people. We at Xiangjiang are finally going to launch a world-class automobile company!" "Yes, at the Geneva International Auto Show, two billion U.S. dollars worth of orders were received. This year is just the beginning. For the whole year this year, Tiangong Automobile''s sales have exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars!" "According to this development trend, Tiangong Automobile Group will become the largest company in Xiangjiang next year." "¡­¡­" You and me, congratulate Xia Yu on the achievements of Tiangong Automobile Group, and be happy for Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled helplessly: "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, you are so flattering, I''m going to float to the sky." "Tiangong Automobile Group still has a long way to go. Xiangjiang''s automobile industry system is too thin. It is difficult for Tiangong Automobile Group to thrive in Xiangjiang!" "You may not have paid attention to the fact that the island country produced more than 11.5 million automobiles last year, accounting for more than 30% of the world''s total automobile production, ranking first in the world." "My Tiangong Automobile Group cannot even enter the top ten in an island country, let alone Xiangjiang''s automobile industry chain." Speaking of this, Xia Yu is very helpless, because this is the status quo of Xiangjiang. It can be said that the existing automobile industry system of Heung Kong is basically built by him. Since the establishment of the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park in May of the previous year, in addition to the establishment of Tiangong Automobile Group, Rolls-Royce Motor Group also invested and set up factories here. In addition, many auto parts companies under the Rolls-Royce Motor Group such as Magna International Co., Ltd. of Canada and TI Automotive Systems have also come to Xiangjiang to open factories to support the production of the two auto companies. However, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group cannot achieve the world''s leading position in every field of auto parts, so it needs to purchase parts from other companies and ship them to Xiangjiang for car assembly production. This invisibly increases transportation costs. Of course, fortunately, there are no tariffs on Xiangjiang. Therefore, the cost of import taxes on auto parts and the cost of tariffs on vehicle exports can be omitted to enable Tiangong Automobile Group to maintain a sufficiently high profit margin. But anyway, it is too much trouble to import parts and components from other countries and then transport them. But now that Tiangong Automobile Group is well-known, auto parts manufacturers from other countries will definitely come to Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park to open branches, but to achieve a sufficiently strong cluster effect, sufficient manpower and material resources are needed. Xia Yu didn''t want to waste time waiting. Seeing Xia Yu''s helpless expression, after Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other, Bao Yugang looked solemn and solemnly said: "A Yu, I invite you over tonight, just to tell you about this. " Xia Yu was taken aback, looked at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, also sat up straight, and said straightly: "Old Bao, Lao Huo, you might as well speak straight." Because Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong really only congratulated him a few days ago and didn''t ask anything else, he did not guess the purpose of the party tonight. Now that I heard it suddenly, Xia Yu suddenly became interested. Bao Yugang did not hide, and said: "A Yu, since we have been working together to suppress the real estate market, I have been thinking about the future development direction." "Then the year before last, you put forward the strategic leading industry development direction of ¡®one big core, six pillars¡¯, then I had a clearer idea." "Especially last year, I also got involved in the financial industry, machinery manufacturing industry, trading industry and biopharmaceutical industry, and invested a lot of money." "It''s just the machinery manufacturing industry, not the automotive industry." "The automobile industry has a huge system. As far as vehicle manufacturing is concerned, I can''t play well, and I don''t have this skill. It is enough for Xiangjiang to have Tiangong Automobile Group." "But I have specifically learned that auto parts include thousands of different parts ranging from chassis to screws, and the entire automotive manufacturing industry chain is very long." "The main assemblies such as the engine, transmission, axles, and body are manufactured by the automobile manufacturers themselves, but there are also specialized companies that produce tires, glass, electrical appliances, body interior parts, and other small parts." "I just want to ask, Lao Huo and I are suitable for entering the field of auto parts production? Do you have any plans in this regard?" Bao Yugang just finished speaking, Xia Yu said without hesitation: "Of course it fits." "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, you don''t have to have any scruples. It doesn''t matter if you want to enter the vehicle production field. How big the Xiangjiang Automobile market can be. The main competition is external. I am not so stingy." Huo Yingdong smiled and said at this time: "A Yu, we are self-knowledge. The automobile manufacturing industry can''t be played by money. We don''t have your skills and your contacts." Bao Yugang nodded and said: "Yes, we don''t have the ability to talk about it. Besides, I also think that instead of wasting capital to compete internally, it is better to maximize the benefits of limited capital, so I think about building a parts manufacturing company. ." Seeing that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong didn''t seem to be joking, Xia Yu didn''t mention that. But for Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong want to enter the field of auto parts production, Xia Yu is 10,000 support. He would not naively think that he alone can cover the entire automobile industry system of Xiangjiang in the future. This is not something that can be played alone! He smiled and said, "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, you want to enter the field of auto parts production. It is definitely a help for me. Whose product should I buy? I am more at ease if I buy you!" "It is very difficult for Xiangjiang to build a complete automotive industry system, but as long as it can produce most of its own, it is enough." "If you want to enter, I think the best way is to directly purchase some small and medium-sized auto parts manufacturers abroad, or buy certain technologies and production lines, and then invest and build factories in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, which will be much faster. " "As long as it is produced, it can directly meet our company''s procurement standards, and there is no need to waste time in research and development from scratch." "I tell you that I have received a lot of calls these days, all wanting to enter the field of auto parts production." "But with your strength and our relationship, you can come in and you can definitely eat most of the meat, so the fat and water will not flow into the outsiders'' fields!" Xia Yu''s remarks were sincere and sincere, and his welcome to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong was undoubtedly revealed, and he even gave them instructional tips. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were very happy. They promised one after another. "A Yu, then we will eat under your hands, but I also promise you that I will never send substandard and substandard products to your factory, even if the company goes bankrupt at that time, I will not Will hold you back!" "Yes, that''s what I meant. I will definitely not hinder the Tiangong Automobile Group!" "I can still doubt your character, you have a stable supply of products, I am too happy to be too late, so what do you say that is slowing down?" Xia Yu said with a light smile. "Hahaha..." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong couldn''t help laughing. After a short while, the dinner was ready, and everyone was seated together. After the meal, Xia Yu and others drank tea and rested again, returning to the topic before the meal. It¡¯s just that I talked more in detail, and Xia Yu offered many opinions to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong discussed that they separated their business operations at the beginning, and their respective companies grew until they reached the boundary before considering whether to merge. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong also tried their best to invite Xia Yu to invest in the company. Xia Yu refused repeatedly. In the end, despite their strong invitation, they agreed to each other''s 30% shareholding as a tie of cooperation, without interfering with their absolute control over the company. Franchise. Now the real estate market in Xiangjiang has been suppressed and sluggish. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have paid a lot. They are Xia Yu''s iron rods, and Xia Yu will also leave enough market space for them to develop. Furthermore, the global auto market is too big, a trillion-dollar market. Tiangong Automobile Group''s future goal is to become the world''s number one vehicle manufacturer. If Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong¡¯s auto parts company is tied to Tiangong Automobile Group, it will indeed rise faster in the early stage, but it will also lead to a decline in the development ceiling due to the relationship with Tiangong Automobile Group. A big chunk. He already has strong auto parts manufacturers such as Magna International in Canada. There is no need to force Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong to restrict their future. Therefore, Xia Yu does not intend to let Tiangong Automobile Group come forward for the shareholding of the two-person company, and intends to invest in the name of other companies, leaving aside the obvious relationship. Of course, workers are trained relatively quickly, but R&D talents in the automotive field are very rare. The strength in this aspect determines the future of the Xiangjiang automotive industry. Therefore, Bao Yugang proposed to expand the scale of talent training as soon as possible. Although the Hong Kong government has issued a policy to vigorously support the Hong Kong education industry, it is preparing to build the new Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Hong Kong City University of Science and Technology, and reform the old Hong Kong Institute of Technology and change its name to the Hong Kong University of Technology. The Hong Kong government has taken a lot of action. UU read , but due to financial problems, it will take a long time to be effective. Therefore, Bao Yugang suggested that Xia Yu''s Jiuding University continue to expand, focusing on the cultivation of talents in the fields of automobile and machinery manufacturing. Xia Yu happened to have this plan. He immediately decided to let Jiuding University open a branch campus in the New Territories. It was set near the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park to create an integrated mode of production, education and research. After Xia Yu stated his plan, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong immediately stated that they would each support 100 million Hong Kong dollars for school construction. Xia Yu did not refuse. The powerful bosses like them have always been amazingly efficient. After the negotiation that evening, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong took action early the next morning. The two planned to come up with a complete plan before the Chinese New Year, and then immediately after the Lunar New Year to give Tiangong Motor as soon as possible. Group formation helps. Xia Yu found Wang Gengwu, the president of Jiuding University, and told him about the establishment of a branch campus in the New Territories. Wang Gengwu happily accepted the task and hurriedly hurried back to the school to discuss the matter. He planned to produce one as soon as possible. Practical and feasible school plans, strive for the New Territories branch school to be completed and recruit students this year. Three days later... As the asset combing work comes to an end, Xia Yu finally has a clear concept of his current strength. Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication: Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1178: Comparable to the Cleveland Consortium Xia Yu¡¯s assets are hidden through a combination of cross-shareholding and offshore registration, but his name appears directly on the shareholder list very rarely. But he has absolute control and leadership over these assets. These assets can be divided into five major blocks. are the Jiuding System of Xiangjiang, the Bright System of Europe, the Polar System of North America, the flexible Galaxy Fund hidden behind the scenes, and some other scattered assets of Xia Yu. Of these five major assets, the most are undoubtedly the Xiangjiang Jiuding System, followed by the Galaxy Fund, the European Bright System, the North American Polar System, and other assets. The Xiangjiang Jiuding Department refers to the Xiangjiang Jiuding Consortium. Although its headquarters is in Xiangjiang, the influence of the consortium is not limited to Xiangjiang and even Asia. There are thousands of companies under the Jiuding Consortium, including Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and so on. If they are all listed on A4 paper, they must be written thickly. However, the main assets of the Jiuding Consortium are actually concentrated under the eight major groups. According to the value, they are ranked Jiuding Financial Group, Jiuding Cultural Media Group, Jiuding Real Estate Group, Tiangong Group, Jiuding Industrial Group, Jiuding Retail Group, Jiuding Energy Group and Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group. Although most companies are not listed, it does not prevent these companies from having valuations. The eight major groups together, the actual market value or valuation totals up to 51.5 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars! Jiuding Financial Group, which owns Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Bank¡¯s Jiuding, is valued at 19.45 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 37.7% of the value of the entire consortium. This is just to say that the company¡¯s valuation does not refer to the assets of these companies. After all, the financial industry is too special. Otherwise, the total assets of a Jiuding Bank alone would exceed 19.45 billion US dollars. . Get back to the subject. The second largest Jiuding Cultural Media Group, with a valuation of 14.48 billion US dollars, accounts for 28.1% of the value of the entire consortium. These two groups together account for almost two-thirds of the value of the entire consortium. It can be seen that cultural media and finance are the two most powerful pillars of Xia Yu from beginning to end! However, among the other six groups, the Tiangong Group, which has the brightest future at present, is in an outbreak period. As long as many of its companies develop smoothly, it is estimated that after two or three years, it will be able to become a Jiuding consortium, comparable to Jiuding Culture Media Group and Jiuding. The third pole of the financial group. Xia Yu¡¯s second largest asset is undoubtedly the hidden Galaxy Fund. The assets are also very simple, that is, up to 44 billion US dollars of circulating funds. Xia Yu¡¯s third largest asset is the Bright Fund, or it is more appropriate to call it the Bright Consortium. After all, the Bright Fund already has all the characteristics that the consortium needs. Of course, although the Bright Consortium is now very influential in Europe, it is still far from the established large consortiums in Europe, because its current development is very partial. According to statistics, the assets of the Bright Consortium are now mainly concentrated in the banking and automobile sectors. The banking sector is the largest. The three large banks, HSBC Holdings, Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, are worth as much as US$16.7 billion. In addition to the banking sector, they also hold equity in banks such as China Commercial Bank, Baring Bank, and Barclays Bank, which are worth up to 1.5 billion US dollars. Next is the rapid growth. The Rolls-Royce Motor Group, which has now entered the ranks of the world''s top ten auto companies, has an 80% equity stake held by the Bright Fund, which is worth 11.2 billion US dollars. Behind these two, the only thing that can be considered large is the equity of the French LVMH Group, which is worth 3.8 billion US dollars. Then, adding other scattered assets and self-owned funds, the entire Bright Consortium has assets of up to 411.33 billion U.S. dollars. The influence of the Bright Consortium is mostly in the UK and a small part in France. As for other European countries, the influence is still very weak, which also means that there is still a lot of room for future development. North America¡¯s Polar Galaxy ranks fourth, and the current assets are far behind the Bright Consortium. After the assets are counted, it is only 23.79 billion US dollars. Not only that, Polaris Capital is large but not specialized, and its control and influence on the industry is not strong enough. There are many companies that are wholly or absolutely controlled by Polaris Capital. After all, when Xia Yu personally built Polaris Capital in the United States, he was always hunting for potential companies in the future. But most of these companies are small companies that have not yet fully emerged. Even though they have grown a lot in one or two years of development, they are still far from the peak of their previous lives. Now, in addition to the investment fields on which Polaris Capital is based, it also relies on the wholly-owned Wells Fargo Bank and Abbott to support the scene. Polaris Capital¡¯s assets are mostly invested and held. The combined value of the equity of IBM, General Electric, Coca-Cola, Intel and other companies is as high as US$6.7 billion. But Xia Yu is not in a hurry for the time being, because as long as you stay patient, when the company that Polaris Capital is now carefully nurturing grows, its assets will inflate like a balloon. After all, Polaris Capital now owns more than ten future Fortune 500 companies! What''s more, there are still more opportunities in the future. When he vacates his hands to re-layout in North America, Polaris Capital''s assets will definitely be able to roll upwards. Now that Peter Lynch has managed Polaris Capital very well, he does not need to worry about it for the time being. As for his last asset, it is actually quite a lot, more than 19 billion U.S. dollars! The two members of the first camp are Bluestar Mining Company and Pacific Petroleum Company, and the two members of the second camp are the Tiger Fund, Bridgewater Fund of the United States and the Kyushu Industrial Group of the mainland. Then there are a series of assets such as the equity of Eternal Jewelry Company, Kyushu Fruit Company, and Australian Entertainment Company. As for the tens of thousands of antique cultural relics, Xia Yu only calculated the actual value now. Otherwise, how could his other assets be only 19 billion US dollars? In the end, when these five pieces of assets were added up, Xia Yu suddenly discovered that his assets could reach 180 billion US dollars! In terms of assets, Xia Yu has been able to surpass the Cleveland consortium, the last of the ten largest consortia in the United States. But Xia Yu is also very clear that the strength gap among the ten largest consortia in the United States is also very large. In 1974, someone made statistics on the properties of the Rockefeller Consortium, which was as high as $330.5 billion, ranking first in the United States! Nowadays, the total assets of the Rockefeller Consortium and Morgan Consortium, the first camp in the United States, will definitely not be less than 500 billion US dollars! California Consortium, First Citibank Consortium, Mellon Consortium, etc., all of which are above him. And now the six major consortia of the island country, each of them is stronger than him. As for Old Europe, not to mention, there are many consortia that are stronger than him. What''s more, Xia Yu is also very clear that his assets seem to be large, but the actual influence is far less than that of a consortium of equal assets. The most obvious is that there are many shortcomings in the "monopoly" which is one of the characteristics of consortia. If we exclude the unseen Galaxy Fund with 44 billion U.S. dollars, his assets will only be about 136 billion U.S. dollars. Excluding other assets of 18.9 billion U.S. dollars, the total of Jiuding Consortium, Bright Consortium, and Polaris Capital Company totaled only 117 billion U.S. dollars, which is even the top ten in the United States. And these assets are also divided into three pieces, typically broad but not precise. Unlike the top ten consortiums in the United States and the six consortiums in island countries, the assets are mainly concentrated in the United States and island countries. He can truly achieve the kind of influence of the ten largest consortiums in the United States and the six largest consortia in the island countries. In fact, there is only the Jiuding consortium with assets of more than 50 billion US dollars. But how can Xiangjiang compare with the island countries and the United States? The degree of monopoly of Jiuding Consortium in many industries of Xiangjiang is higher than that of consortiums in the United States and island countries Xia Yu has a very clear understanding of what this means. The Jiuding Consortium must rush out of Xiangjiang on a larger scale! The entire Southeast Asia has been targeted by him. Now many groups and companies under the Jiuding Consortium are implementing this long-term strategy, constantly opening branches in Southeast Asian countries, harvesting talents, seizing markets, and launching mergers and acquisitions in other industries and fields. Although there are many countries in Southeast Asia, the Chinese ethnic group is undoubtedly the largest group in Southeast Asia in this era. Therefore, it is not difficult for the Jiuding Consortium to expand in various countries, and it can be carried out without Xia Yu''s worry. I don''t know when, Xia Yu got up and turned his head to look at the world map hanging on the wall behind him. After staring at Southeast Asia for a long time, he moved to the "seahorse" of the island country. "A few years ago, I started secretly planning the island country. Now it is 1983, and it is time to formally plan..." "If my business map lacks an island country, it can''t match Rockefeller and Morgan..." PS: After sorting out for more than four hours, Xia Yu¡¯s assets finally have a more accurate amount. Because there are too many, so I only posted a detailed map of the assets of the Guangming Consortium. Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1179: The great opportunity brought by President Wang "Rebirth of the most powerful hero novel cool notes ( to find the latest chapter! To talk about the opportunities in the island country in this era, anyone in the financial industry can say one or two things. The most well-known is undoubtedly the "1985 Plaza Accord" and the "lost twenty years" that the island nation has spread so widely and even has been labeled as an island nation. The argument of "lost twenty years" is worthy of scrutiny, and there are different interpretations from different angles. However, Xia Yu knew that the island nation had not lost its essence in the past two decades. It was only the twenty years of the island nation¡¯s pursuit of change after seeing America¡¯s vicious face under the dog''s chain of the United States. The GDP of an island country cannot represent the comprehensive national strength of an island country. After all, everyone at the top of the world knows that there are "two" island countries in the world, one in the island country and one overseas. It''s just that the "lost twenty years" of the island nation only started in 1991. It was too long for Xia Yu, and it was not profitable, so he didn''t bother to pay attention. On the contrary, the "1985 Plaza Accord" that will inevitably happen in the future and the opportunities hidden behind it are enough to make Xia Yu''s eyes enthusiastic. At that time, there were only more than two years. And now the island country¡¯s economy has entered the prelude to the outbreak period. If the time layout is not stepped up, the cost will gradually increase and the profit margin will gradually decrease over time. If it wasn''t for the expansion of Latin America''s sovereign debt crisis to explode capital, he had fully deployed the island countries last year. Why hasn''t he waited until now to make no major moves? "It didn''t take long for Liu Xiao and others to come back. Let them have a relaxing year. They have been waiting for such a long time. Not bad for half a month..." "Besides, I really can''t leave at the end of the year." "However, the preparatory work must be completed, and the think tank must be urged..." Xia Yu retracted his eyes from the map, looked at the calendar next to him, and thought to himself. Later, he made a call to the Business Research Institute of Jiuding Think Tank. After understanding the situation, he satisfactorily hung up the phone and continued to devote himself to other work. ... It seems that the closer the New Year is, the slower the day will pass. Or maybe it''s an illusion of thinking caused by too many things. All in all, Xia Yu had a very fulfilling life these days. When the public''s attention was attracted by the year-end promotions of all walks of life, the political scene in Hong Kong changed one after another. The top leaders of many high-level departments have not changed much, but the second and third leaders of the departments, or the top leaders of the subordinate departments, have changed a lot. Behind this, most of the Jiuding Consortium is secretly planning. What can arouse Xia Yu''s attention is the job change of the two people. The Director of the Monetary Authority, Anthony Quinnier, was investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and has been dismissed. Zhou Shanwen, one of the deputy directors, was promoted to the Director of the Monetary Authority. He took charge of the reform of the exchange rate system in Hong Kong once he took office. Liu Siran, the deputy director of the Police Management Office, was transferred, and the position was replaced by a senior assistant director of the operations department. A position of senior assistant director was vacated. Li Junxia took over, and the rank was upgraded from assistant director to senior assistant director. He also serves as the director of the operations division (operations division, criminal and security divisions under the operations division). The Hong Kong Police Force has two major categories and four major departments, namely the Operational Division and the Criminal and Security Division, as well as the Management Personnel and Training Division and the Supervision Division, of which the Operation Division is the most powerful. There are only top leaders of the other three departments at the same level as Li Junxia, ??and Li Junxia is the chief of the operations department. Due to power issues, he is actually the fourth person in the police department, second only to the chief of the police department. And the two deputy directors are extremely powerful. If it weren''t for Li Junxia''s astonishing background, he would not be able to upgrade, and at the same time, he would take over the most powerful operation in the same level in one step. But other people can''t help it. Those who can get to this point know that if you want to go all the way in the political world, the most important thing is... Of course, after Li Junxia went up, Xia Jun also followed up to a level, from inspector to senior inspector, becoming the upper level of the inspector class and serving as the captain of an elite team. ... As the top figure in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu is approaching the end of the year, and there are countless people who want to visit him, but only a handful of people are qualified. But this is the case, the people who came to visit him never stopped. On the afternoon of February 6, Wang Ping, the president of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency, and Ma Jianmin, the president of Bank of China Xiangjiang, came to visit. Xia Yu personally received him at home. "President Wang, President Ma, the two are here, let the humble house be bright!" "Mr. Xia is polite, if you are a humble house, then we can''t live in a thatched house!" "Hahaha..." "Two, please inside!" ... After a brief greeting, Xia Yu, Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin entered the house together and took a seat in the living room. As for their driver, they were received by a dedicated person and had tea in other places. "President Wang, as the end of the year is approaching, the work pressure should be less, right?" As the owner of the house, Xia Yu provoked the topic on the initiative and politely asked about Wang Ping''s situation. Wang Ping smiled and said: "It is indeed a bit smaller than before, but the work that should be done still has to be done." "Compared with me, President Ma is not so lucky." Yunnan When Wang Ping shifted the topic to himself, Ma Jianmin couldn''t help but smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly and said: "Banking, when the business is busiest at the end of the year, I can only say pain and happiness." Xia Yu chuckled a few times and joked: "President Ma, if you can choose, I think you would like to be like this time throughout the year. Although you are a little tired, you are developing fast!" Ma Jianmin smiled and said: "Mr. Xia said this to the heart of my heart. If I do this every day, I would be willing to faint even if I was tired." "But if the Bank of China wants to have such a grand occasion, it still needs Mr. Xia''s care to achieve it." Xia Yu did not agree to Ma Jianmin¡¯s very natural flattery and entrained request. Instead, he jokingly said: "BOC is the God of Wealth in Xiangjiang''s business community, and President Ma is joking." Although Ma Jianmin was a little disappointed, he also knew that enough was enough. Today is not the time to talk about these things, so he smiled and turned the topic away and talked about the Tiangong Automobile Company, which is making a big splash in Xiangjiang. "Mr. Xia, your Tiangong Automobile Company has greatly boosted the Chinese people''s morale, and Xiangjiang''s automobile industry has started!" "A lot of people came to our bank during this time to make loans to enter the auto-related industry. It can be seen that Tiangong Automobile''s contribution to Xiangjiang is immeasurable!" Wang Ping said happily, "Yes, Tiangong Automobile is a blockbuster, and it has received 2 billion US dollars in orders in just five days. This achievement is amazing!" "Mr. Xia, I heard that Tiangong Automobile Company is expanding its production line on a large scale. To what extent do you plan to increase it?" Faced with the gaze of the two of them, Xia Yu did not hide it, and said with a light smile: "Strive to increase the production capacity of cars to one million vehicles a year!" "One million!" The numbers Xia Yu uttered lightly in his mouth were like thunder, which scared Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin. Wang Ping said in shock: "Mr. Xia, your handwriting is too big!" "However, based on Tiangong''s previous performance, even if it actually produces one million cars, it will definitely be able to sell!" "I look forward to seeing Tiangong Automobile shine in the world in the near future!" Ma Jianmin nodded with approval and said, "I also look forward to this day!" Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "I don''t know how long it will take. Although it is planned to increase the production capacity to one million vehicles this year, it is definitely not possible to produce so many cars because of the construction and production. Ten thousand cars will burn incense." On the contrary, Wang Ping was more confident than Xia Yu. He hurriedly said: "It will not be possible to produce this year, and it will definitely be achieved next year!" "Compared with Xiangjiang, if the mainland wants to reach this level, I don''t know how long it will be." "Last year, the total number of cars produced in the country was less than 200,000. Most of the trucks and cars were less than 5,000. The Tiangong Automobile family was able to surpass the entire mainland''s automobile production. Hey..." Speaking of the back, Wang Ping couldn''t help showing a sad face and sighed. But fortunately, he immediately realized that this was in Xia Yu''s house, and the New Year was approaching, his attitude was indeed a bit embarrassing. He hurriedly picked up his mood and said apologetically, "Mr. Xia, I''m sorry, I''m a little gaffe." Xia Yu didn''t take it seriously, but admired: "President Wang has such a heart of worrying about the country and the people, what''s wrong with him?" "Don''t worry, we can raise Tiangong Automobile Group in a small place like Xiangjiang. The mainland has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are many elites. Now the car production is not much, but the mainland has not invested a lot of energy to do it. With the mainland¡¯s system, the future must be bright, and an annual output of tens of millions of vehicles is not a problem!" Wang Ping couldn''t help but said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, you have made a big joke. With an annual output of 10 million vehicles, I can''t even think about it. Even the United States doesn''t have this capability, and the mainland is far behind." "In 1978, Shanghai Shanghai wanted to vigorously develop the Shanghai Shanghai Automobile Company, introducing advanced foreign technology, and talking about it. The major automobile companies in the United States and the island countries refused to agree, and only Volkswagen in West Germany had this intention. But after talking about it for more than four years, we couldn''t agree on a car factory with an annual output of 30,000 vehicles." "If you want to produce tens of millions of vehicles per year, it''s not easy..." He does not mean that. Xia Yu woke up abruptly, he had been focusing on overseas, and almost ignored this matter! Fortunately, Wang Ping mentioned it accidentally this time, otherwise he would have to wait until Volkswagen entered the mainland market and he wanted to save it, but it would be too late! Thinking of the previous life, Volkswagen looked down on the mainland and took the Santana, which was built in the "American Heart", to fool the mainland. He was still making a lot of money in the mainland, and Xia Yu felt that he had to do it. Something. What''s more, he knows very well how big the mainland auto market is, and how much Volkswagen has gained for Volkswagen by relying on this garbage Santana. The Volkswagen of China, Toyota of the world! This sentence in the previous life fully explains the gap between Volkswagen and Toyota, which produces tens of millions of vehicles per year! A Huaxia market contributes as much as 40% of its global sales to the public, and UU Kanshu has contributed more than one trillion yuan in revenue! The reason why Volkswagen was able to achieve this result is that it took the lead. It entered the mainland at the beginning of China''s reform and relied on Santana, a failed backward product to gain its advantage in the early stage, and established its China Automobile The foundation of the overlord. In this life, Volkswagen Group is still a competitor of his Rolls-Royce Motor Group, and will also be a competitor of Tiangong Automobile Group in the future, so he will not watch Volkswagen enter the mainland market anyway. If Tiangong Auto can replace Volkswagen, then... Thinking of this, Xia Yu made a decision instantly. PS: In fact, the assets of Bright Fund and Polaris Capital include debt. In all assets of Xia Yu, non-free financial assets must be excluded. I will not explain the specific reasons. , You can analyze it yourself.

() v3 Chapter 1180: Step on Volkswagen 1 foot "Rebirth of the most powerful hero novel cool notes ( find the latest chapter! Xia Yu asked actively: "President Wang, Volkswagen is following the talks with Shanghai, is it going to take the Santana brand for a joint venture?" Wang Ping nodded and said, "Yes, although I don''t know the specifics, but I have heard other people say that it is Santana." As soon as Wang Ping¡¯s voice fell, Xia Yu suddenly snorted: ¡°Santana is a failed product of Volkswagen. Not to mention the backward technology, there are various defects. Europeans don¡¯t like it, and Americans look down on it. Volkswagen is actually using this car to cooperate with the mainland. This shows that Jae Kaizi!" "Fortunately, the mainland has not yet reached a complete cooperation with Volkswagen, otherwise it will be too late to regret!" What Xia Yu said is very important, and the most important thing is that he has a heavy weight in the eyes of Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin. The two of them only know about the auto industry, but Xia Yu owns an auto company and has already demonstrated its skills worldwide, so Xia Yu should not be talking nonsense. But it was because they thought Xia Yu could not talk nonsense that Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin were shocked. Wang Ping hurriedly reconfirmed: "Mr. Xia, the mainland has imported a lot of Santana over the years, so the domestic popularity is not small. Is this car really that bad?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Santana''s overall technology is indeed lagging behind, and there are many technical flaws, it is really poor." "Do you know why the public is focusing on selling Santana to the mainland?" Wang Ping asked hurriedly: "Why?" "Because this car can''t be sold in other places, the production line is assembled, and there is a lot of inventory, so it must be sold?" "The mainland is not rich, and Volkswagen''s more expensive cars do not have to be sold to the mainland. So the Santana stock cars are just used to sell to the mainland, and the inventory is cleared. The backward production lines can also be used as waste and used to cooperate with the mainland. It¡¯s their true purpose." Xia Yu sneered and told these inside stories. Then he said again: "The level of car manufacturing in mainland China is still very backward. It should still be at the level of artificial car manufacturing. The horizon limits perceptions. It is not clear about the situation abroad. Volkswagen must be a mess in order to promote cars. It¡¯s normal for many people to be unable to distinguish between good and bad, and it is easy to be fooled by the public¡¯s name." "One more thing, even if the technology is backward for the public, for the mainland, it is a complete industrialized car-making technology, which is relatively advanced, so the mainland will not think of doubt. This is a question of perception of the world. " "To be honest, Santana''s technical content is far worse than the cars made by Tiangong Automobile." "You may not know. Although Tiangong Motors is a new company and brand, most of its technology comes from the British Rolls-Royce Motor Group, and it is still the latest and top technology. Otherwise, it will not be possible to shine at the Geneva International Motor Show. And consumers are not fools." "The Rolls-Royce Motor Group is one of the top ten car companies in the world. It is also the biggest competitor of Volkswagen in Europe, and its upward momentum is stronger than that of Volkswagen. You definitely don''t need to worry about the level of technology." After Xia Yu''s words were stopped, Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin were confused, and they wished to report this matter to the mainland immediately. They must not just watch the country suffer losses! "Mr. Xia, thank you for your vigilance, I will report the matter to it immediately!" "Yes, Mr. Xia, thank you very much for your reminder!" Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin expressed their gratitude to Xia Yu. Xia Yu said with a light smile: "I am also a descendant of Yan and Huang, if I don''t know it, I can''t just sit back and watch if I know." After speaking, he condensed his eyebrows and pondered. This appearance immediately attracted the attention of Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin. After a while, Xia Yu looked directly at Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin, and said loudly and loudly: "President Wang, since the mainland is going to improve the level of the auto industry, I can''t stand by and you can report to it." "Tiangong Automobile Group now has six cars in these three series, all of which can be selected by mainland China. Tiangong Automobile Group and Mainland China have established a joint venture company to fully improve the level of the mainland''s automobile industry. I will have no reservations!" "I can handle the technology of the British Rolls-Royce Motor Group. No one can stop it." "Don''t say that the mainland only wants to assemble a car production line with an annual output of 30,000, even if it is a production line of 100,000 or 200,000 cars, I can handle it!" Wang Ping stood up suddenly, trembling with excitement all over, even his words trembled: "Mr. Xia, what are you saying is true?" Xia Yu''s face was solemn and affirmed: "As far as the national interest is concerned, I have the say!" After receiving Xia Yu''s definite reply, Wang Ping excitedly held Xia Yu''s hand in tears, and kept thanking him: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your support to the country, thank you!" "I will definitely convey your patriotism to the above!" "Your motherland is the blessing of the motherland!" Ma Jianmin is not necessarily better than Wang Ping. He also said excitedly: "Mr. Xia, Guo Shi Wushuang said it is you, please allow me to pay high respect to you!" After speaking, Ma Jianmin bowed deeply to Xia Yu. Xia Yu couldn''t stop him, so he could only accept the gift. "President Ma, I am embarrassed by you!" "President Wang, sit down!" Xia Yu smiled helplessly. When Wang Ping calmed down a bit, where could he sit still? He couldn''t wait to fly back and report the good news to him. He said hurriedly: "Mr. Xia, don''t sit down. I want to go back and report to it immediately, and convey your patriotism." "I''m also afraid that if it takes a long time, Shanghai Shanghai will negotiate a cooperation with Volkswagen and it will be troublesome." Ma Jianmin also sipped and said: "Yes, Mr. Xia, we will go back first, and we will visit you when we have time next time!" Seeing that the two of them were indeed not here, Xia Yu did not force to stay. He smiled and said, "Well, you are welcome to come again next time!" "I''ll give it to you!" "Mr. Xia, this will not be annoying, we can go out by ourselves." "must!" After sending Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin out of the door, Xia Yu''s gaze was a little surprised as the two got in the car and left, and the corners of his mouth curled up. public? Ha ha! ... Because the matter involved was too important, Ma Jianmin did not part with Wang Ping, but went to Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency together to testify for Wang Ping. After the car arrived at Xinhua News Agency, Wang Ping and Ma Jianmin almost trot all the way into the house, and then came to the room equipped with a secret dedicated telephone line. Wang Ping called Director Liu Zhihe of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office in the capital. The news also shocked Liu Zhihe. After confirming that it was correct, Liu Zhihe immediately reported to him. There was a requirement above that major events involving Xia Yu must be reported all the way as soon as possible. So the news of the day reached the top. The inside story of Santana provided by Volkswagen has had a great impact on the upper level, and many older generations are aggrieved by it. However, the biggest pressure was on the Minister Sun of the Mechanics Department and Zhang Hongchuan, the leader of the Shanghai Car Project Preparation Team, which were established last year. The Ministry of Machinery Engineering was formed in 1982 by the merger of the Ministry of Machinery Industry with the Ministry of Agricultural Machinery, the State Administration of Instrumentation Industry, and the State Administration of Complete Plant Equipment. Minister Sun was the first minister of the new department and he just took office last year. Although it was the Volkswagen that the original Minister of the First Machinery Department inspected, but now he is the new person in charge, of course the pressure is on him. As the older generation from the war-torn era, patriotism is unquestionable. Minister Sun did not shirk his responsibilities. After making a promise, he immediately ordered Zhang Hongchuan, who is far away in Shanghai, to temporarily stop talking to Volkswagen. Negotiations, while fully investigating the real situation of Volkswagen Santana. At the same time, Liu Zhihe led people to the south, preparing to visit Xia Yu.

If you like "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", please recommend this book to your friends (QQ, blog, WeChat, etc.), thank you for your support! ! () v3 Chapter 1181: Mainland decision On February 8, the sky was clear. A convoy of six black Rolls Royce drove into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park and entered the factory of Tiangong Automobile Group. After receiving the news, Chen Caijun and his assistant waited respectfully there to welcome the visit of Xia Yu and others. "Chairman, good morning!" "Yeah! Good morning!" After Xia Yu nodded towards Chen Caijun, he introduced Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping to the people beside him: "Everyone, this is my capable man, Chen Caijun, President of Tiangong Automobile Group." "Talents, these are Liu Zhihe, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office from the mainland, Guo Hong from the China Automotive Industry Corporation, Kong Yuming from the Mechanical Engineering Department, and Wang Ping from the Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency." "President Chen, nice to meet you!" "Director Liu, hello." "President Wang, hello! Welcome!" "..." Xia Yu smiled after watching Chen Caijun shook hands with a few people, and then ordered Chen Caijun: "Caijun, take everyone to the factory!" "Okay, Chairman!" "Everyone, please follow me!" ... This time when he came to the factory, Xia Yu clearly felt a significant change from the last time, that is, there were a lot more people in the No. 1 factory than last time, and many people were watching without hindering production. There is no need for Xia Yu¡¯s inquiry, and Chen Caijun actively explained: ¡°Chairman, other factories are now under construction overnight. There is no need to worry about the construction of hardware facilities. Instead, there is a big gap in the staff. It was put into production as soon as possible, so the company researched and decided to speed up employee training by combining old and new, on-site observation and theory." "On the premise of not affecting production, each old employee should bring 4 new employees. Because production is in three shifts, employee training is also a combination of practice and theory. "The company has made estimates so that the talents can withstand it temporarily." Xia Yu said with satisfaction: "This method is good, but there are too many people in the factory, and you must pay attention to production safety to avoid production accidents." "Understood!" Chen Caijun answered solemnly. "Go on, look at the initial link, and introduce the complete production process to a few VIPs." "Yes!" "Then let''s start from here." ... Next, everything about Tiangong Automobile Group opened eyes to Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and others. Mechanized car-making technology is much better than the current level of car-making technology in mainland China. Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping may be seen in the clouds, but Guo Hong and Kong Yuming can see the essence. This is why the two of them are sent here with Liu Zhihe, just to really understand The car-making process of Tiangong Automobile Group. Chen Caijun had also been reminded by Xia Yu before, so in the process of observation, in addition to his own introduction, he also invited experts to introduce him, unreservedly showing his car-making skills. Not only that, Chen Caijun also did his homework in advance, and at the same time he introduced the Volkswagen Santana for a horizontal comparison. In this comparison, Santana was defeated! All these contents were recorded in notebooks by Guo Hong and Kong Yuming. They are also one of the members of the Shanghai Auto Project preparation team, so they have a certain understanding of Volkswagen Santana''s technology, so they can tell that what Chen Caijun said is not an exaggeration. After the most terminal vehicle was rolled off the assembly line, Chen Caijun pointed to the two cars of the Shenyu Generation and the Glory Generation, and proudly introduced: "This Shenyu Generation and this Glory Generation are the main models of our Tiangong Automobile! " "At present, Shenyu Generation has received an order for 14,225 units." "The Honor Generation has received an order for 33,640 units." "The total order for the two cars exceeds 750 million U.S. dollars!" Upon hearing this series of data, Kong Yuming, Guo Hong and others couldn''t help swallowing their saliva, their eyes full of envy. At this time, Liu Zhihe was shocked, and asked curiously: "President Chen, I heard that your company has six cars, and the order received before has reached 2 billion US dollars, right?" Chen Caijun looked at Xia Yu, and then said with a smile: "That''s the previous data. This week after I came back, many dealers took the initiative to come to the door. Now our total order for six cars has reached 140,000. Four thousand three hundred and sixty vehicles are now available, and the total order amount has just reached 2.6 billion US dollars!" "Another $600 million in orders were added in a week!!" "So many, it''s shocking!" Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and others were shocked to numbness. The current level of Tiangong Automobile Group has completely crushed the entire continent! With a smile on his face, Chen Caijun said confidently: "This is just the beginning. It has been less than half a month since I participated in the Geneva International Motor Show." "Although our Tiangong Automobile is a new brand, the market has a high degree of recognition and acceptance of our Tiangong Automobile." "The level of technology is on the one hand, and on the other hand, our models are very novel and are highly sought after by dealers and consumers." "Look at our models, and then compare the car models of other car companies in your own impression. Do you feel that our models are more atmospheric and more beautiful?" The eyes of everyone converged on the car in front of them again. Wang Ping said with emotion: "I just wanted to say when I saw the car assembling. Your car is indeed very beautiful and fashionable. There is a word that can describe it..." "Curvaceous!" Seeing Wang Ping frowning and thinking, Xia Yu reminded with a light smile. "Yes, curvy!" Wang Ping''s eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. "Mr. Xia, you are better, I, a layman, show my ugliness. Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, and said modestly: "I don''t quite understand either, that is, I heard other people introduce it before." "Everyone, do you want to get in the car to experience it yourself?" Everyone''s eyes lit up and everyone was ready to move. "Mr. Xia, is this convenient?" Although Guo Hong looked forward to it, he asked with some embarrassment. "Why is it inconvenient, let''s go, let''s go to the test track outside, which is more spacious, whether it''s a test drive or a ride experience." After that, Xia Yu directly asked Chen Caijun to lead the way to the test track and asked him to call the accompanying driver. Soon, the group came to the test track. Under Chen Caijun''s arrangement, Guo Hong and Wang Pingping went to experience it for themselves. Those who can drive can test drive, and those who can''t drive can ride. Xia Yu and Chen Caijun sat in the lounge chatting, occasionally watching them having fun at the test track through the window. After a long time, seeing Guo Hong and others finish the test drive, Xia Yu and Chen Caijun came out and rejoined Guo Hong and others. "Everyone, how is the experience?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Guo Hong said with emotion, "Although the direction of the cab is different, it does not affect the driving experience, great!" "Moreover, what touches me most is the technical content!" "Just now, your employees bothered me to show me that the first-generation car equipped with a navigator, automatic height adjustment, power steering, cruise control and other functions, it opened my eyes!" "Santana has no way to compare with it!" Kong Yuming sighed with emotion and couldn''t help showing a wry smile: "We have been sitting on the well and watching the sky. The mainland builds cars by ourselves. Seeing the Volkswagen Santana''s technology, I think it is top-notch." "Until now I have seen the technology of your Tiangong Automobile with my own eyes, and then I know the level of the most advanced car manufacturing technology!" "The continent has been separated from the world for too long..." "Hey¡­¡­" At the end, Kong Yuming couldn''t help sighing. When Guo Hong and Wang Ping heard this, they were silent for a moment, and their faces were bitter. In particular, Wang Ping, who was sent to Xiangjiang for a few years, has the deepest feelings about Kong Yuming''s words. He has more knowledge and naturally knows the gap between the mainland and the outside world. But he couldn''t help it, and there was no need to mention the past. Anyway, since 1978, the mainland has changed its strategy and everything is developing in a good direction. That is enough. Kong Yuming and the others have a heavy heart, and they have already understood what they need to understand. How to decide the specific matter is the above matter, and they have no right. Therefore, after staying in Tiangong Automobile Group for a while, they said goodbye. Xia Yu also knew that they were anxious to go back, so he only invited them to lunch at noon and parted with them. That afternoon, Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and others hurried back to the mainland without stopping, and then took a plane from the nearest airport to the capital. ... In a conference room of the mechanics department. Minister Sun Xin and his deputy, Wang Zijing, President of China Automotive Industry Corporation, and Zhang Hongchuan, leader of the Shanghai car project preparation team, all gathered together, all attentively listening to Guo Hong''s introduction of what he saw and heard in Tiangong Automobile Group. Later, Kong Yuming also added from his perspective. After listening to the two people''s narration, the entire conference room was dull. In fact, the information about Tiangong Automobile Group in Guo Hong''s mouth shocked them. Whether it is the modern factory of the Tiangong Automobile Group, the technical content of their current six cars, or the order volume of the Tiangong Automobile Group, each of them has a huge impact on them. For a long time, Minister Sun looked at Zhang Hongchuan and other people, and said in a deep voice: "The state has conducted investigations on Volkswagen Santana through various channels. It can be determined that what Mr. Xia from Xiangjiang said is very objective. Santana is indeed a Volkswagen company. A failed product launched." "Although it is a failure for Volkswagen, it is undeniable that it is still very advanced for our country''s car-making technology." "If it was before, the auto companies in the United States, island countries and other countries refused to us, and we didn''t have a choice, that would be fine." "The most important thing now is that Tiangong Automobile Group, which is more technologically advanced, is willing to open up all technologies to us, let us choose, and build factories with much capacity at will!" "There is one more important thing!" ¡°Tiangong Automobile Group belongs to Mr. Xia, a patriotic compatriot. Mr. Xia¡¯s patriotism is unanimously approved by the above, and we don¡¯t have to have any doubts.¡± How could Wang Zijing, president of China Automobile Corporation, fail to understand Minister Sun''s attitude. Regardless of reason or reason, it is indeed more appropriate to choose the sudden emergence of Tiangong Automobile Group. He himself prefers this choice. He immediately added: "Minister Sun, I fully agree with your point of view. Cooperation with Tiangong Automobile Group is a better choice." "Although we have talked with Volkswagen for many years, there are still many differences." "On the contrary, Mr. Xia is very grand. If we cooperate with him, the progress will definitely be fast." Zhang Hongchuan took a deep breath, nodded and said: "From the overall situation, I agree with the cooperation with Tiangong Automobile Group." "It''s just that I have another worry." "After all, we have been talking with Volkswagen for so long. Volkswagen is rarely willing to talk to us. Someone abroad is definitely watching. If we suddenly give up negotiating with Volkswagen, will there be anything wrong with the image of the country? positive effect?" As soon as the words came out, the others were silent. This is indeed something to worry about. Minister Sun can''t make up his mind either. After all, this is a matter of national image. Fortunately, Minister Sun was also a person from the war-torn era. He had experienced strong winds and waves with rich experience, and soon thought of a way. He said to Zhang Hongchuan: "In this way, Team Leader Zhang, you can tell Volkswagen that we still welcome cooperation with Volkswagen, but they need to show sincerity and come up with car-making technology comparable to Tiangong Automobile Group." "Kicking the ball to them is a normal competition. If they are unwilling, it is their own choice. We can stand up." "If they do not agree to provide the latest technology, then we will give them another choice. They can also cooperate on the Santana car. However, Shanghai Hutuo Automobile Corporation can no longer cooperate with it. Volkswagen has to build a new car from scratch. A factory This is a good way, we can stand!" "Yes, the public is playing tricks with us. We still care about face by doing this. I support it!" ... Several other deputy ministers expressed their opinions. Of course Zhang Hongchuan has no opinion. "Minister, then I will follow your instructions!" "No hurry, you go back to Shanghai first, then call me when you arrive, if there are other new situations, I will tell you." "Understand!" Zhang Hongchuan understood in seconds, nodding in response. After that, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed. Minister Sun took Guo Hong and Kong Yuming to visit their superiors, report related work, and finally received support. After returning to Shanghai, Zhang Hongchuan received a clear order again. He was determined to keep up with the Shanghai side and find Dr. Werner P. Schmidt, the general representative of Volkswagen in Shanghai. "Zhang, are you sure you are not joking?" After listening to Zhang Hongchuan''s words, Dr. Werner P. Schmidt stood up suddenly and said angrily. Zhang Hongchuan was already prepared when he came, so he said without changing his face: "Dr. Schmidt, we are also old friends, but from the perspective of national interests, I can only say the sincerity of Tiangong Automobile Group. Bigger and more attractive!" Dr. Werner P. Schmidt criticized very angrily: ¡°Tiangong Motors is just a new company and cannot be compared with our great Volkswagen Company. Their technology is definitely not as good as ours. You must have been cheated by him! " PS: I''m sorry, the census was done overtime, and it was a little too much after I came back, and I haven''t taken a shower yet, o(¨i©n¨i)o https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: ~: Still working overtime, adding more at home on weekends Still working overtime, adding more at home on weekends v3 Chapter 1182: Good company Dr. Werner P. Schmidt¡¯s reaction was fully predicted before Zhang Hongchuan came. In the face of Dr. Werner P. Schmidt¡¯s criticism, Zhang Hongchuan decisively stood on the side of Tiangong Automobile Group: ¡°Dr. Schmidt, we also passed a rigorous investigation. As far as I know, although Tiangong Automobile Group is new The company, however, is a strategic partner of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. The six cars released this year caused a huge sensation at the Geneva International Motor Show." "The eyes of car dealers and consumers all over the world must be sharp." "At least, in the world, Tiangong Automobile is more popular than Santana, isn''t it?" "As far as I know, Santana''s past history doesn''t seem very good." In the last sentence, Zhang Hongchuan''s tone was somewhat meaningful, and he looked directly at Dr. Werner P. Schmidt. Dr. Werner P. Schmidt''s confidence was instantly insufficient. My family knows their own situation. Before, they bullied the mainland and didn¡¯t understand the outside world. Volkswagen also didn¡¯t care much about the mainland market. Therefore, he took out the backward and failed Santana model, and has always been arrogant, hoping to get more The benefits have been negotiated. Unexpectedly, this drag caused an accident. Seeing that the mainland was about to agree, it suddenly launched a Tiangong Automobile Group. Dr. Werner P. Schmidt was full of anger and embarrassment at this time. He stiffened his neck and said: "Tiangong Automobile is just a little attractive in shape, but its technical level is far behind our Volkswagen Company." "Now our Volkswagen company has been developing similar models in a targeted manner. With our strength, we will be able to develop them soon. Tiangong Automobile Group can''t compare to us!" "Leader Zhang, the automobile industry is a very important field after all. I suggest you think about it carefully." "Your attitude, I will report it to the above." "I have something to do, so I will leave first!" After finishing speaking, Dr. Werner P. Schmidt walked away, but in Zhang Hongchuan''s eyes, Dr. Werner P. Schmidt was in a hurry and seemed to flee in a panic. "Think clearly, haha!" "How can a national strategy be a trifling matter!" "I still contact Tiangong Automobile Group as soon as possible. This year, I can''t live easily..." After thinking about it, Zhang Hongchuan turned and left. He wanted to form an inspection and negotiation team as soon as possible, make a negotiation plan, and promote cooperation with Tiangong Automobile Group as soon as possible. It has been several years since the above proposal to build civilian cars, and enough time has been wasted, and it can¡¯t be dragged on any longer... ... After Dr. Werner P. Schmidt reported the situation to the head office, it naturally caused quite a stir. Volkswagen started a heated discussion on the matter. There is no doubt that Volkswagen is dissatisfied with the two proposals proposed by the mainland. The first option is to build a complete car factory from scratch, and there is no way to annex Shanghai Tuoqi Automobile Corporation. Then the cost of construction will skyrocket several times, and it will increase the difficulty in all aspects. The second option was almost collectively opposed by the top executives of Volkswagen. Originally, Santana was used to prepare waste, and the technology is not the most advanced, but it is absolutely impossible to use a full set of car-making technology that is equivalent to the six new models released by Tiangong Automobile Group! These technologies are the technologies that Volkswagen has invested in tens of billions of dollars in the past so many years. They are also the foundation of Volkswagen. How can it be easily given to the mainland? In Volkswagen¡¯s view, the mainland market is too small, with an annual output of only 4,000 cars. Even if a cooperative construction of a production line with an annual output of 30,000 cars can be reached, 30,000 cars a year can be sold. Hard to say. Even if it can be sold, how much money can you make? Many high-level officials who originally opposed cooperation with the mainland took this opportunity to propose to completely abandon cooperation with the mainland. For a while, the cooperation between Volkswagen and the mainland was clouded. But this is exactly what Xia Yu hopes for. The public should get far away! ... Xiangjiang Kowloon, Jiuding Building, Chairman''s Office, Xia Yu was stepping up to issue documents, when there was a knock on the door. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, the open office door was pushed open, revealing Wang Qi''s figure. Xia Yu put down the pen and said with a smile: "Wang Qi, why is it so late? I thought Jiuding Securities doesn''t need a year-end bonus." Wang Qi smiled awkwardly, licked his face and said, "Chairman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, and said, "How is the year-end award and party arranged for this year?" "Chairman, this is the annual plan and checklist prepared by Jiuding Securities, please have a look!" Wang Qi walked quickly to Xia Yu, took out the plan made in Jiuding Securities Company from his bag, and presented it to Xia Yu. "Sit down first!" After signalling Wang Qi to sit down, Xia Yu browsed Wang Qi''s year-end awards and party plans. Jiuding Securities Company is preparing to hold a year-end party. In addition to eating and drinking, the most important part of the party is awards and collective lottery. Among them, the awarding session is based on the contributions made this year to award awards to the employees who have made great contributions to the company, and the awards are even third-class. One of the first prizes is a sea view villa developed by Jiuding Real Estate Group, valued at HK$4 million. The three second prizes are the three best-fitting Rolls-Royce cars. According to the current exchange rate, each one is worth more than two million Hong Kong dollars, and the three cars add up to more than six million Hong Kong dollars. The ten third prize winners are the ten best-equipped Bentley Continentals, each worth more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and ten worth more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars. In the awarding session alone, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. put out nearly 19 million Hong Kong dollars. In the lottery session, every employee has a chance. Even the cleaning aunt at the bottom of the company can draw a lottery, which is absolutely fair. In the lottery, six grades of prizes are divided. The first prize is a luxury house worth millions of Hong Kong dollars. The second prize was five Tiangongshen''s first-generation cars, each worth nearly HK$150,000. The third prize was ten sets of brand new Tiangong appliances, each of which included refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, air conditioners and range hoods, with a value of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. The fourth prize is a red envelope of 8888 yuan, there are fifty. The fifth prize is 1888 yuan red envelope, there are two hundred. The sixth prize is a red envelope of 888 yuan, which is the lowest-grade prize and the number is unlimited. According to the last statistics, the whole party, including the venue and dinner expenses, will cost 28 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, this is only the expense of the year-end party. In addition, the employee''s commission for the company''s profit is still paid, and the year-end bonus is also issued in accordance with the evaluation rules. The previous employee performance commissions and year-end bonuses, Wang Qi has already taken, the total amount is as high as 180 million Hong Kong dollars, which is still a very low ratio, Xia Yu approved. If the expenses of this year-end party are added, Jiuding Securities will have to pay more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars at the end of the year. But for the profits that Jiuding Securities made for him last year, this is only a small amount of money! The employees worked hard to make money for him, and he was not a stingy person. He was willing to pay for this little money! Nothing to say, approved! With a swipe of a pen, Xia Yu directly signed the materials submitted by Wang Qi. After signing, Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi and asked: "Wang Qi, what about the year-end bonus plan of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange?" "Have you done it?" Wang Qi immediately replied: "Chairman, I have done it, here it is." As Wang Qi said, he hurriedly took out another material from his bag and presented it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu asked, "How is the situation of the futures exchange now? What level has it reached?" Wang Qili Mahui reported: "Chairman, the highest daily trading volume of the futures exchange this week exceeded HK$4.1 billion, which has greatly increased the trading volume of the stock market." "Now the Hong Kong stock market has become more and more active because more than 20 companies have been listed in the past two months, but the daily trading volume is only about 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars." This comparison highlights the popularity of the Xiangjiang futures market. But who makes the futures market a leveraged market, the capital is enlarged, and there are three commodities that foreign capital can easily accept: FTSE 100 stock index futures, Nikkei 225 stock index futures and rubber futures? According to the five-tenths of a ten thousandth commission of the futures exchange, according to the current daily trading volume, the daily commission can reach two million Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then signed another word on the document. "This plan is well done. This year is a year of rebirth for the futures exchange. Let the employees live a better life. Next year, we will work together to continue to grow the exchange." "I understand that next year I am going to let the futures exchange launch crude oil futures and other financial futures commodities." Wang Qi said with a smile. "Yes, you have a plan." "If it''s okay, bring the good news back early to make the employees happy." "Okay, Chairman, then I will go back first." "Well, go!" Seeing Wang Qi leaving, Xia Yu smiled. After thinking for a while, he muttered to himself: "There are still a few companies that haven''t come. They should all come today." "This year-end award is sent outEveryone will have to jump to me next year, ha ha..." ... Near the last few days of the Chinese New Year, the hot spots were almost covered by the major companies under the Jiuding Consortium. The media frantically reported the year-end awards issued by these companies. In particular, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. spent more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars on year-end awards and year-end parties, sea view villas, luxury cars, big red envelopes, etc., which really made all readers who saw the news bleed with jealousy. Not to mention the peers in the financial industry, each envy and hate. Jiuding Securities Co. has become a "good company for others"! For a time, the sky above Xiangjiang was filled with a scent of lemon sour. I don¡¯t know how many people claim that they are not inferior to the people in the companies under the Jiuding Consortium, but they have shabby year-end bonuses, and they don¡¯t even have any points. In addition, the employees of various companies have been informed by the company''s senior management that the company will expand its recruitment in the spring of the beginning of the year, so that they can mobilize excellent people to interview. The news spread in Xiangjiang, and I don''t know how many people have become more active, and are preparing to find opportunities to jump to these companies in the next year. Amidst all these disturbances, Xia Yu spent a warm New Year''s Eve at home, from the first to the third day of the new year. Although he did not go to work, the exchange of favors was always unavoidable, and the iron gate of Xia House would be trampled on. On the first four days of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Hongchuan, the leader of the Shanghai Shanghai car project preparation team, personally led the team to Xiangjiang Tiangong Automobile Group. However, Xia Yu did not show up again, but left it to Chen Caijun to handle it. Anyway, what should be explained has been clearly explained. , No need for him to worry too much. He has more important things to do! At the beginning of the new year, it''s time to do something to the island country! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1183: Hunting 3 and the consortium "The Most Powerful Hero of Rebirth ( "Happy new year, boss! Congratulations on getting rich!" "Congratulations on getting rich!" "Boss, congratulations on getting rich, everything goes well!" ... Inside the Galaxy Fund, there was a beaming scene. The employees paid greetings to Xia Yu one after another, and Xia Yu smiled and took out the "starting profit" from the assistant''s box and sent it to everyone. In Xiangjiang, there is a tradition of "starting profit" when returning to work after the Spring Festival. "Lishi" is also called "lishi" and "lishi", which means "business profitable city, profitable business", which means it is beneficial to do anything Generally speaking, on the morning when work starts after the new year, employees and subordinates return to the "boss" to pay a New Year greeting, and the "boss" will definitely send "starting profit" to everyone to symbolize the unit''s successful start and a smooth start. Of course, this "boss" is not only the owner of the company, but also company executives such as the general manager and deputy general managers, as well as the supervisors of various departments and teams. When they send "profits", the boss and subordinates will say "Congratulations." Good words such as "get rich" and "everything is going well" are used to make good luck. Everyone is happy because of this, and starts the work on the first day of the new year lively. It¡¯s worth mentioning that the ¡°starting profit is¡± does not pursue the amount of money. More importantly, it is a goodwill head and a heart. It is usually filled with eight yuan, eighteen yuan and other banknotes symbolizing auspicious wealth to make everyone Joy and joy, lively and lively, symbolizes a good start, harmony and prosperity. In the morning, the company was full of laughter and laughter. The atmosphere was very relaxed and cozy. Xia Yu did not arrange work, just chat with everyone. Then at noon, go to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner together. In the afternoon, everyone adjusted their mentality and started work. Needless to say, Xia Yu gathered eight of his own capable officers and gathered together again. "I gave everyone a long vacation years ago. It''s time to relax and relax. The new year should start again. Depending on your mental state, you are all well prepared, not bad!" "Don''t talk nonsense, now we have a formal meeting." "The purpose of this meeting is to set a plan that will run through this year and many years to come. Before that, you should quietly read the information in your hands." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Liu Xiao and the others didn''t talk too much nonsense, and directly opened the materials in front of them, and browsed them attentively. And Xia Yu had nothing to do, and once again read the information in front of him that he had read many times. Every time you read the same information, you can inspire new inspiration. Only when you try to figure out and analyze it again and again, the plan can become more and more perfect. This information is actually a general summary of island countries. It introduces island countries from different directions. Of course, it focuses on the economic field of island countries. After all, the purpose of Galaxy Fund is to make money! 1982 marked the tenth anniversary of the island country surpassing West Germany to become the world''s second largest economy. This year, the island country¡¯s gross national product reached over US$113 billion, accounting for 9.85% of the global total last year! But in fact, the island country¡¯s economy showed a decline last year, because in 1981, the island country¡¯s gross national product reached more than $12,220 billion, accounting for nearly 10.5% of the global total! So in fact, the island country¡¯s economy was in recession for the entire year last year. However, if you split it into twelve months, in fact, in the second half of last year, especially in the fourth quarter, the island country¡¯s economy has clearly shown an improvement. Get out of the global economic quagmire caused by the oil crisis. Regarding the exchange rate, the yen fluctuated greatly last year. At its lowest, it fell to 249 yen per dollar. However, it rebounded to a certain extent towards the end of the year. In recent months, as the island economies have recovered, the exchange rate Both maintained fluctuations on and off the line of one U.S. dollar to two hundred and thirty-seven yen, and the fluctuation range was not large. As for the stock market, the island countries also rose steadily. Although the Nikkei 225 stock index fluctuates, it has already exceeded 8,000 points. From the perspective of momentum, it is steadily rising toward 9,000 points. No matter how you look at the entire information, after reading it, it gives people an impression that the future economic development of the island country tends to be stable, and the future becomes brighter. Therefore, after Liu Xiao, Xue He and others all read the information, each frowned, thinking hard about where to start. Since the boss lets them take action on the island country, they will definitely not aimlessly. But where is the opportunity? Seeing the puzzled expressions of Liu Xiao and others, Xia Yu smiled slightly, but he also felt normal. If Liu Xiao and others can see from this information that there are problems with the island country¡¯s economy, then where is the chance to get the Galaxy Fund? At this time, no matter whether it is domestic economic research scholars or foreign economic analysis masters in the island country, they would not expect how much the island country will change in the next eight or nine years. Had it not been for the memory of later generations, he would not dare to make large-scale plans for the island nation. But who would let him know the general trend of history! Before everyone noticed, he started to make arrangements. As long as the fruit is ripe, he will be able to eat the largest portion! "Flap!" "Okay, everyone is finished!" "finish watching!" Everyone answered one after another. "Any thoughts?" After all, Xia Yu glanced around with a smile. When everyone heard the words, everyone was guilty of not looking at Xia Yu''s eyes, watching other people from time to time. They all received huge bonuses last year, and they all waited eagerly for the start of the new year to follow the boss. They never thought of this first meeting, but they encountered a nail, and they were really hit. For a long time, Liu Xiao bit his scalp and stood up and said: "Boss, UU Reading , at the end of the year, I specially learned about the status quo of the island country. Coupled with the information just read, I guess that you are planning to do multi-island stock market and Exchange rate?" "Even from the beginning of the oil crisis, the island countries have also fallen into the economic quagmire, and the island country¡¯s stock market has maintained growth. Now that the island countries are out of the economic quagmire, the stock market should have greater potential and the exchange rate will rise again.¡± Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Sit down!" "What about the rest?" Xue He continued: "Boss, I agree with Liu Xiao''s opinion!" Xia Yu looked at the others again and found that they nodded too. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "Liu Xiao is right. In the long run, the island country''s stock market and the yen exchange rate will definitely rise all the way, but the gains this year and next will not be too great!" Liu Xiao''s heart sank suddenly, and the others stared at each other. According to the boss, the stock market and the exchange rate are not ready to move. Is it the futures market? But it''s not right, the momentum of the futures market is smaller than that of the stock market! When everyone was puzzled, Xia Yu said with a smile: "I said at the beginning, this meeting is to make plans for this year and for many years to come, so this time, you must be prepared for a protracted battle. Because this time, all aspects are involved, and it is bigger than any previous action!" "My goals are many, divided into one and many small ones." "Small goals such as long island country stocks, long exchange rates, large-scale long real estate and so on." "And there is only one big goal, and that is-hunting the Sanhe Consortium!" "hiss¡­¡­" After the last sentence came out, Liu Xiao and others were shocked, and each stared at Xia Yu. Sanhe consortium, one of the six consortia of hunting island nations? This is too exciting! PS: First more v3 Chapter 1184: The miscellaneous army in the 6 major consortia "The Most Powerful Hero of Rebirth ( "Boss, I also have a certain understanding of the six major consortia in island countries. The island country can be said to be the country with the most serious consortium monopoly in the world, even worse than the United States and Europe, and the six major consortia in the top island country monopolize more than percent of the island country. Sixty assets." "Now every consortium has assets of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, and there are still close links between consortia like a spider web." "Only you have the courage to attack the Sanhe Consortium. Just after hearing you talk about it, my whole body was boiled with enthusiasm!" After Tang Yong recovered, he said excitedly. "Yes, boss, the Hunting Sanhe Foundation, I will never forget this plan in my life!" "..." After Tang Yong finished speaking, other people also babbled to express their inner shock and excitement. Xia Yu listened to their flattery with a smile, allowing them to vent, so that he could continue the meeting with a calm mind later. After nearly a minute or so, Xia Yu continued, "Tang Yong was right a bit earlier, but he only understood some superficial things." "The six major consortiums of the island countries are indeed very large, but they also have a priority. The order is different at different times. However, at this time, the strengths from top to bottom are the Mitsubishi Consortium, Mitsui Consortium, Sumitomo Consortium, Fuji Consortium, Quangin Consortium and San And the consortium." "In fact, the Sanhe consortium, the fifth-worst establishment, is the weakest, although the assets involved in the weakest consortium have reached more than 150 billion US dollars!" "However, don''t look at the many assets involved in the Sanhe Consortium. In fact, it is just a sick tiger to me, and it''s quite miserable. You can see the specific situation." After that, Xia Yu winked at Li Wuming, who was sitting behind him. Li Wuming immediately took out a bunch of materials, and each handed out a copy. There is not much information because it is just a list. "What you have sent to you is a list of companies that make up the Sanhe Consortium with Sanhe Bank as its core. Among them, there are forty-one core companies of Sanshuihui, as well as peripheral companies that hold more than 10% of the shares. Thirty-six!" Speaking of this, Liu Xiao and others can''t wait to open up and browse the information. For these contents, Xia Yu has read it many times, and he is already familiar with it. According to time, the Sanhe Consortium was the fifth consortium established in the island nation after the war. It was established in 1967, second only to the Fuji Consortium established in 1966. But to be honest, the establishment of the Sanhe consortium was hurried and reluctant. It was quite a panic to set up a consortium to enhance its competitiveness in order to fight against the four major consortiums established earlier. The reason for saying this is to mention the four oldest chaebols in the island country-the Mitsubishi Foundation, the Mitsui Foundation, the Sumitomo Foundation and the Yasuda Foundation. Each of these four chaebols has a core family to control, corresponding to the four major families of the Iwasaki family, the Mitsui family, the Sumitomo family, and the Yasuda family. These four old chaebols were also the chaebols who supported the island nation during World War II. Because of their strong combat power and high monopoly, they were dismembered by the United States after the island nation was defeated. It was just that after the war, as the United States was fighting against the socialist camp, the dog''s chain was loosened again, and the four major families once again gathered equity, with family members as the link, integrated and formed a new consortium. Among them, because the Sumitomo Consortium, which is the shallowest military industry involved, lost less after the war, it was the first to re-establish the Sumitomo Consortium in 1951, and the Sumitomo family controlled the consortium¡¯s equity to a high degree, not less than 50%! The Mitsubishi consortium, which was originally the strongest, was reorganized and established in 1954. Then in 1961, the Mitsui family also regrouped and completed the reorganization, and the Mitsui Consortium appeared again. Four years later, the Yasuda family was finally integrated and the Fuji Consortium was established. At this point, the old four consortiums were reborn again. And because the four old chaebols were dismembered after the war, the business environment of the island nation has been optimized a lot, and many new families have grown or appeared. However, after the re-emergence of the four major consortia, these families were unwilling to suffer unfair competition again. Therefore, the Sanhe Consortium was established with Sanhe Bank, which used to provide loans to small and medium-sized enterprises as the center. The last persuasive bank consortium appeared to be a late bloomer. It was dragged on until 1978, when enough members were recruited, and its establishment surpassed the Sanhe Consortium, which was established 11 years ago. Because the Sanhe Consortium and the Quanyin Consortium were established later and belong to a joint consortium, their execution and combat capabilities are weaker than the previous four consortia. Especially the Sanhe Consortium, it is simply a miscellaneous army among the six major consortia of the island nation! It is not an exaggeration to give him the title of "unknown consortium"! Sanhe Bank, the core bank of the Sanhe Consortium, grew up by lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly involving light industry and textile industries. Therefore, after the establishment of the Sanhe Consortium, the heavy industry sector was weak. The reason why many core enterprises of the "Sanshuihui" of the Sanhe Consortium have been pulled is because they have gained momentum. For example, Nissho Iwai Corporation, one of the ten largest trading companies in the island country, is clearly the first Quanye Bank as the largest shareholder, and Sanhe Bank is only the second largest shareholder, but Sanhe Bank dug a wall to join Sanshui. meeting. Then the Sanhe Consortium has always wanted to promote its merger with the Nikkei Trading Company, which is the top ten trading company in another island country under the Sanhe Consortium, but it has never been successful. After the Quangin Consortium was established in 1978, Nissho Iwai Corporation also became a member of the Quangin Consortium. In addition, Kobe Steel, one of the steel leaders of the Sanhe Consortium, is also one of the outer members of the Persuasion Consortium. The island country life insurance company, the largest island country insurance company, is a core member of the Sanhe Consortium Sanshui Association, but because it is too powerful and maintains a high degree of independence, Sanhe Bank has little influence on it. Many core companies such as Ube Industries and Teijin Kasei also maintain a high degree of independence. As a result, the Sanhe consortium has a lot of internal noise, power struggles, and unity is the lowest. For example, the Fukuhara family of Ube Industries Corporation is one of the typical representatives. Its family member Fukuhara Kazuo also serves as the deputy manager of Sanwa Bank, but has been planning the leadership of the Sanhe Consortium. The strength is poor, and it''s not united, and the Sanhe consortium is also lucky. Maruzen Oil Company, the third largest in the island country, is the core company of the Sanwa Consortium. It has a relationship with Sanwa Bank for decades. However, six years after the establishment of the Sanwa Consortium, the world¡¯s first oil crisis broke out. It was affected, and then affected the deeply connected Sanwa Bank, which caused asset fluctuations After some years of work, it was a second oil crisis. In 1980, Maruzen Oil¡¯s The deficit was as high as 100 billion yen, and Maruzen Oil had difficulty operating. If it were not for the strong support of the Sanhe Foundation, it would have gone bankrupt. As of last year in 1982, Maruzen Petroleum''s total revenue reached 6.3 billion US dollars, but its net profit was only more than 9.6 million US dollars, which is horribly low, but at any rate, the net profit is out of negative. This shows how difficult it has been for the Sanhe consortium in recent years. Only relying on one of the top five Sanhe Banks in an island country and a medium-sized Toyo Trust should drive so many companies? Like Xia Yu himself, after excluding the assets of the Galaxy Fund, the total assets are less than 140 billion US dollars, which is less than the Sanhe Consortium, but he owns HSBC Holdings, Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank, A series of large banks such as Wells Fargo Bank. With the full support of these banks, why is the Sanhe consortium at the end of the crane? But thinking from the other side, the Sanhe consortium is so loose and the financial sector is weak, it is also the easiest to hunt, and it is the easiest to complement his Jiuding consortium. As time passed slowly, Liu Xiao and others finally read the information about the Sanhe Foundation. It''s just that after they finished reading, their expressions were a bit strange. Xue He couldn''t help but vomit: "Boss, this Sanhe Consortium is really a sick tiger as you said. It looks glamorous, but it''s actually a bit miserable!" "Yeah, it is indeed a bit miserable. No wonder you said that the Sanhe Consortium is the bottom of the six island consortia. It is strange that it is not." ... Others followed suit. PS: The second update will be sent. There is another update today, but it will be very late. Let''s see it tomorrow. v3 Chapter 1185: The nature of the island consortium "Okay, stop complaining. Anyway, the Sanhe Consortium is one of the six major consortiums in the island country. It is placed within East Asia. There is no opponent except me." "We return to the topic and continue the meeting!" Hearing what Xia Yu said, everyone calmed down and looked at Xia Yu attentively again. Xia Yu drank his mouth water to moisturize his throat, and continued: "My biggest goal is to control the Sanhe Consortium. Although the Sanhe Consortium has huge assets, up to more than 150 billion US dollars, it involves more than 170. They are directly affiliated to Tier 1 companies, but in fact they only need to target the 41 core enterprises of the Sanshui Club." "The other 136 peripheral companies that hold more than 10% of the shares do not have to deal with them. They control 41 core companies, especially the core Sanhe Bank, and these 136 peripheral companies It was indirectly controlled." "But don''t think that it is easy to operate with only forty core companies. In fact, because of the problem of the island country consortium, the difficulty is not generally large!" Speaking of this, Xia Yu''s expression was rare and solemn, and even the tone of his words increased a lot, which made Liu Xiao and others'' hearts startled. The reason why Xia Yu attaches so much importance to it is to mention the island country¡¯s consortium model. The current island country consortium model, Xia Yu can be called the consortium 2.0 model, this model has been studied by economists around the world in later generations. Before World War II, the 1.0 model of the four major chaebols in the island countries was a pyramid holding model, but when they were regrouped after the war, in order to adapt to the "Anti-Monopoly Law" promulgated by the United States, the island country consortium changed from a direct holding company to multiple companies. Joint holdings, and then evolved into a mesh sphere holding model. This mesh sphere holding model, like the neural network of the human brain, makes the information transmission and communication between consortiums faster and more suitable for the market environment. In addition, having a manager as the core of the brain allows the consortium to brainstorm, even if the strategy is adjusted. . This net-shaped sphere shareholding model will make Xia Yu''s acquisition very difficult, much more difficult than when it targeted the Swire Consortium and Hutchison Whampoa. Because of the intensive cross-holding between companies, shareholders are basically corporate shareholders, and individual shareholders are almost invisible. Such shareholders add up to a small amount of equity. Like in Xiangjiang, the top ten shareholders of a company generally have more than two-thirds of their equity. But in island countries, the total shareholding ratio of the top ten shareholders of major companies: 37.4% for Nissan Motor Company, 27.3% for Hitachi, and 3% for Sumitomo Metal 11.7, the island country steel pipe company is 27.2%, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is 25.8%, Toyota Motor Corporation is 36.5%, and Panasonic is 2%. Nineteen. And this level of proportion is still more concentrated in the past ten or twenty years, and even more scattered before! This system of legal person shareholders makes almost all of the company¡¯s operating rights handed over to professional managers, and it is the managers of various consortiums that decide whether to keep professional managers. These managers have the intelligence similar to that of the organization department and randomize talents. Deployment. When Maruzen Petroleum Company was in crisis before, it was the internal discussion and decision of the Sanshui Association of the Sanwa Foundation that the former deputy manager of Kansai Electric Power Company Moriju Goro was sent to Maruzen Oil as the manager of the financial sector. He Bank¡¯s deputy general manager, Miyamori, continued to succeed, and Maruzen Petroleum was once again out of the crisis and on track. Of course, in the face of this consortium model, it doesn''t mean that there is no chance to speak up. After all, as long as a company''s equity is dispersed and listed, then the egg will be cracked and opportunities will always be found. Few large companies like these consortia are not listed. As long as it is listed, then 25% of the equity must be thrown out at the beginning. After 10 to 20 years or even decades of listing, shareholders will sell or buy stocks, so there will be changes . In order to find out the situation of the island country¡¯s commercial market, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Think Tank Business Research Institute studied the island country¡¯s stock market. The workload was not as big as the earth, but Xia Yu did not disappoint. The data came out. Last year, the proportion of all stock-listed companies in the island countries was as follows: domestic financial institutions held 40.7%, corporate legal persons held 24.3%, and individual shares held 100%. Of 22.9, foreign investors hold 12.1% of the shares! From these data, it can be seen that as long as the financial institutions, individual shareholders, and foreign investors in the island country can be simultaneously engaged in, it is possible to increase the shareholding ratio to more than 34%. 50% and 66.7% or more, the difficulty will be greater. For example, for the Sanhe consortium, forty-one core companies need to be mobilized at the same time, and it is almost difficult to maintain confidentiality. In Xia Yu''s view, the best way, and almost the only way, is to cut off the capital chain of the Sanhe Consortium, and then use huge funds to forcefully launch acquisitions and seize control of all companies! This requires the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, otherwise it is almost impossible to succeed! But it is precisely because of this difficulty that the ten largest consortiums in the United States have not been able to eat the six consortiums of the island nation when the island nation is chained by the United States. Even companies under the six major consortia of island nations are still competing fiercely with American consortia internationally. Many companies are also aggressively attacking the United States, forcing the United States to use policy weapons to force intervention. For example, in 1981, in order to protect local auto companies, the U.S. government forcibly signed an agreement with the island country government to limit the number of cars exported from the island country to the United States to 1.68 million each year. The number limit is dead, and the main struggle has become a struggle between the island country¡¯s internal car companies. The United States dared to persecute the island countries in this way, but did not dare to do so against its European allies. It can be seen that the island country has the world''s second economic strength, but it does not have a world position that matches it. It is a dog of the United States. Xia Yu scanned the crowd and continued: "These forty-one core companies can be divided into three parts, namely financial institutions, general trading companies, and manufacturing industries." "Financial institutions include banks, trusts, insurance, funds, etc., and the Sanhe Consortium actually involves four companies, namely Sanwa Bank, Toyo Trust Bank, Island Life Insurance Company and Nomura Securities." "There are two general trading companies, Nissho Iwai Corporation and Nisshin Trading Corporation. These two are one of the ten largest trading companies in the island country and sell almost everything." "Then the manufacturing industry is the remaining 35 industrial and mining companies, transportation companies and other companies." "These three parts correspond to the three parts of industry, business, and finance. The operation of the consortium in island countries also follows the mode of combining industry, business and finance. This is a bit similar to a three-dimensional combat form. The financial platform is the air force and the comprehensive trading company is the navy. The industry is the army, and the air force and navy are to **** the army (industry)." "The most important of these is the general trading company. It can be as small as an egg screw, as large as an automobile and warship. As long as it is produced, it can be sold. In addition to the trading function, the general trading company also has financial service functions, industrial investment banking functions, warehousing and logistics functions, Intelligence function, investment advisory function and industrial organization function It is the "General Staff" of the island country''s economy, and it is also the strategy maker of the island country''s economy." "The reason why I have told you so much is to let you have such a concept, and don''t underestimate those general trading companies that only sell things on the surface." "In the action, we must focus on the Nissho Iwai Corporation and the Nisshin Corporation of the Sanwa Foundation." "Once the action is taken, the financial platform and general trading company will be destroyed as soon as possible. The air force (financial platform) and navy (comprehensive trading company) of the Sanhe consortium will be destroyed, and it will leave behind a huge army (manufacturing industry). The earth, due to the situation, can only be slaughtered by us, understand?" "understood!" Liu Xiao and others were taken aback for a moment, then raised their chests and raised their heads and responded loudly. Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm!" "It seems that you all have a clear understanding. The next part is the final part, which is to assign specific action tasks. The second half of the meeting will be longer, and you will take a ten-minute break. If you want to empty yourself, go first. , Don¡¯t endure the discomfort for a while." "Ha ha ha..." "Smile, don''t hurry up!" There was a burst of laughter from everyone, and then amid Xia Yu''s laughter and curse, everyone got up and left the conference room. PS: The third one is sent, ask for a ticket, thank you! It is recommended that the big guys must read these two chapters carefully. I have tried my best not to be boring. If I understand it, it is worthwhile to ask my classmates to borrow the CNKI account to download the materials and analyze them. They are all commercial in the 1980s and 1990s. The scanned copy of the magazine, Baidu wanted to check it but couldn''t find it. The background of these two island country plots can be understood, and the rest will not be seen in the mist. Hmm... I just want to write a book that I need to read with my head https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1186: Layout of the island country banking sector The ten minutes of intermission were fleeting. After a while, everyone was seated again in their original positions, and the door of the meeting room closed again. Xia Yu didn''t talk too much nonsense and went straight to the subject. "This time, the action took a long time, so for safety, the power in the island country must be strong enough." "In addition to the main goals of the Sanhe Consortium, there are three other small goals, including the stock market, the yen exchange rate, and the island country''s real estate market." "So I decided that the eight of you will once again lead a team. For each team, I will give you 2 billion US dollars in operating funds. After receiving the funds, the first thing you must do is to acquire a securities company. There are more than two hundred securities companies in the island country. It is not difficult for you to acquire them. You must spend money directly. You must complete the acquisition within half a month, and then start to expand the staff, so as to make a large-scale long-term stock market and yen exchange rate ready." "You have to submit the list of personnel for key positions in each company. I will arrange for someone to conduct a comprehensive investigation on them. After the investigation, those who are found to be inappropriate will be replaced immediately." "You eight teams, the total funds involved 16 billion U.S. dollars, I will exchange 500 million U.S. dollars in Japanese yen for you, and let you operate directly. The remaining 12 billion U.S. dollars, you will discuss it internally. , Under the premise of not being noticed by the island country¡¯s officials, enter in batches within three months..." "The Sanhe Consortium has a total of 41 core companies, all of which are listed companies. Except for Nomura Securities, there are forty companies left. You can assign follow-up targets by yourself. The first stage is the hidden stage and there is only one task. It is to purchase the stocks of the target of follow-up without being noticed, and at the same time make a plan for the onslaught acquisition during the transition period from dark to light." "This task looks simple, but it actually requires a lot of thought. You have to pay more attention." "Then it is to do the task of the real estate industry in multiple island countries. Each of your eight teams needs to acquire two or more small real estate development companies, support the puppets, and then use financial leverage to acquire land in the major cities of the island country without any worries. In the future, the increase in land prices and housing prices in island countries will definitely far exceed bank interest. If you want to develop, you can take out a part and ask Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. to build it." "But you must be low-key. The real estate companies you control are definitely not allowed to enter the top 20 in the real estate field of the island country. If you can¡¯t hide, you can open new real estate companies. As long as you don¡¯t enter the top 20, the real estate companies you control account for It doesn¡¯t matter if you reach the 21st to the 50th place, as long as the equity information is processed properly." "As for the division of real estate areas, you also decide through internal consultations. Anyway, don''t tell me unfairness when the time comes." ... Next, Xia Yu shaped all the skeletons of his actions and talked for nearly two hours. Of course, Liu Xiao and others are still puzzled by Xia Yu''s orders because of their vision. The most typical one is to do more island country real estate market orders. Last year, the land price in Tokyo¡¯s central business district, the most expensive island country, was 3.5 million yen per square meter, but Xia Yu knew that it would reach its peak in 1990, and the price was 32 million yen per square meter. Meter! It has risen by more than nine times! What bank''s interest rate can outperform this increase? In other big cities other than Tokyo, although the land increase is not as terrible as Tokyo, there is no problem with increasing it several times. Think about it a few years later that the island country¡¯s central bank has cut interest rates for five consecutive years, from 5% to 2.5%. If such a low interest rate can still lose money, it would be better to kill with a piece of tofu! Therefore, before the real estate market in the island country officially broke out, it was an excellent time to hoard land. When everyone realized that real estate was about to take off again, how could one get the fattest meat? After setting up the tasks for the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu temporarily ignored Liu Xiao and others. The next day, he specifically called Liu Shihao, the president of Jiuding Real Estate Group, and talked with him for more than an hour. When he left, Liu Shihao was in a state of excitement. Afterwards, he summoned Liu Tianci and Wang Qi to his office. Banks and securities are the two most important hands for the actions of the island country. He has to understand his current financial strength in the island country. "What is the size of the banks on the island country? Has it been sorted out?" Just after Liu Tianci and Wang Qi came in and sat down, Xia Yu went straight to the subject and asked Liu Tianci. Liu Tianci took out the sorting report from his bag and presented it to Xia Yu: "Chairman, this is what I sorted out according to your request a year ago." "Chairman, this is the case of securities on my side." After Liu Tianci handed it in, Wang Qi also hurriedly took out the report and submitted it to Xia Yu. "Yeah! Let me see first!" After all, Xia Yu first opened Liu Tianci''s report. In the report, the content is divided into three parts, which actually involves the holdings of two banks and other investments. The first is the situation of Jiuding Bank itself. Jiuding Bank has long entered the island country market, and currently has 36 branches in the island country, with a total of 844 employees and total assets of over US$3.23 billion. Although this amount of assets can''t even enter the top 100 of the island country''s banking industry, it is already an excellent result for Jiuding Bank, which has only developed for a few years. This is also thanks to the support of Jiuding Bank by the branches of many companies under the Jiuding Consortium in the island country, otherwise it would not have grown to this point. After all, the total assets of more than 3.23 billion US dollars, equivalent to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, are also a large bank in Hong Kong alone. Of course, it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized bank in the island country. After all, the market size is different. If the entire Xiangjiang Jiuding Bank is placed in the island country, it will also be around twenty. Next is the second part. Chiba Bank, a wholly-owned bank controlled by Jiuding Bank behind the scenes, is a regional city bank headquartered in Chiba Prefecture in the Kanto region of the island nation. Chiba Prefecture is one of the most important industrial clusters in the island country, and with convenient transportation, the economy is very developed. As the largest local bank in Chiba Prefecture, Chiba Bank accounts for 27.4% of Chiba Prefecture¡¯s Loan market share and 21.7% of the deposit market share. UU reading At present, Chiba Bank has 118 branches, 100 of which are located in Chiba Prefecture, with 2,506 employees, and the bank¡¯s total assets after deducting offset accounts is 120 375 million US dollars, total deposits of 9.924 billion US dollars, bank tier 1 capital of 346 million US dollars, and pre-tax profit of 41 million US dollars last year. According to the latest ranking compiled by the "The Banker" Miscellaneous Island Branch, Chiba Bank ranked fourth among nearly two hundred local banks in the island country with total assets of $12,375 million. Twelve! Finally, the third part, that is, the holdings of Jiuding Bank or Chiba Bank in other banks in the island country, involving six local city banks. They are Nagano Bank in Nagano Prefecture, and Chiba Bank holds 13.72% of the shares. Shizuoka Bank in Shizuoka Prefecture, Jiuding Bank holds 9.83% of the shares. Bank of Hokkaido in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Jiuding Bank holds 11.35% of the equity. The Hokkaido Takushoku Bank of Sapporo, Hokkaido, which is deeply engaged in agriculture and fisheries, holds 12.59% of the equity in Jiuding Bank. Fukushima Bank in Fukushima Prefecture in the northeastern part of the island nation, Jiuding Bank holds 8.89% of the shares. Northland Bank in Ishikawa Prefecture in the northeastern part of the island country, Jiuding Bank holds 16.25% of the shares. The six holding banks are all located in the eastern and northern regions of the island nation. PS: During the day, I was arranging data crazily. The first one is so late, sorry, the second one will be even later, let''s get up tomorrow. good night https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1187: The first hunting target These six holding banks can be divided into two levels. The first level is Hokkaido Takushoku Bank and Shizuoka Bank, two medium-sized banks. Hokkaido Takushoku Bank is the largest bank in the Hokkaido region, with total assets of more than $12,142 million. It ranked 43rd among all banks in the island country last year, just behind Chiba Bank. The Shizuoka Bank is the largest bank in Shizuoka Prefecture, with total assets of more than US$9.34 billion. It ranked 58th in the banking industry of island countries last year. The second level, from the largest to the smallest, is the Bank of Northland, the Bank of Hokkaido, the Bank of Fukushima, and the Bank of Nagano. They are all small banks in island countries, and they are all out of the 100. The most powerful Northland Bank, with total assets of just over US$4.331 billion, was ranked 104th last year. The weakest Nagano Bank, with total assets of more than 2.512 billion U.S. dollars, ranked 131st last year. These six banks, even if they are all acquired and integrated together, in terms of scale, they can reach the scale of the 20th Concord Bank. If we add Chiba Bank, the asset size is about the same as the eleventh long-term credit bank of the island country, but it still has an asset size of seven or eight billion US dollars from the tenth largest East China Sea Bank. In addition to the gap in asset size, the most important thing is that the companies that these banks serve are small and medium-sized enterprises from all over the world. Even if they are integrated, they are still far behind the large island banks in terms of influence. If you focus on these banks, you can only pull up a bunch of small trash fish, and you can easily be crushed by the six major consortia of the island country. Even the banks facing the local consortia after the six major consortia will be hanged. So it seems that the current bank layout is definitely not good, and we must make plans on this basis! Thinking about it, he didn''t plan to let Liu Tianci do it again, he would act after he went to the island country. After reading the banking industry, Xia Yu once again picked up the situation report submitted by Wang Qi. Compared with Liu Tianci''s report, Wang Qi''s report is simpler because there are only two parts. The first part is undoubtedly the situation of Jiuding Securities Island Branch. Although the island branch of Jiuding Securities has been in existence for a short time, its transactions are very active, and Wang Qi has also continued to inject funds. Therefore, in terms of scale, it can be regarded as one of the large securities companies in the island country. Although it is only a threshold for entering a large securities company in the island country. At present, the scale of stock and bond assets held by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has reached more than 12,270 billion yen, which is equivalent to more than 5.37 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, this asset has been amplified by financial leverage. If it were just self-owned assets, there would not be so much. The second part is the only joint venture company-Jiuding Yonghe Securities Company. This company was established as a joint venture between Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and Fukuhara Kazuya''s Yonghe Fund four years ago. Both parties hold 50% equity. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. leads the operation. Fukuhara Kazuya also provides resources from the Sanhe Consortium. With Fukuhara and the Sanhe consortium, Jiuding Yonghe Securities Co., Ltd. has also developed very fast. Although it is not as good as Jiuding Securities, it has a good reputation in the island country¡¯s capital market. It is a medium-sized securities company. Jiuding Yonghe Securities Co., Ltd. holds 557.7 billion yen in ticket and bond assets, which is more than 2.48 billion U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. In addition to these circumstances, the detailed assets of the two securities companies were not listed because he did not use them temporarily. "The situation is well summarized, it''s all I need." After putting down Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu smiled and commented that Liu Tianci and Wang Qi couldn''t help showing relaxed smiles. Xia Yu looked at the two and said, "This year, my work will focus on island countries. There will also be many opportunities in island countries in the future. The current operating conditions of Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities in the island countries are still far greater. Not my needs." "Let''s talk about the bank first." "Tianci, Chiba Bank and the other six companies have all their shares separated, and their shares must be handled properly. Do not contact Jiuding Bank anymore." "The focus of your work is to continue to grow the island country Jiuding Bank. The 36 branches are still too few. You must have one branch in each county. As for the top ten cities, each city must have more than three branches. Great efforts to absorb reserves and lend." "But you have to pay attention. If you want to cooperate more with large companies that are not the core enterprises of the five major consortia in island countries, it doesn''t matter if interest rates are low, understand?" Hearing this, Liu Tianci immediately asked: "Chairman, don''t the island countries have six consortia? Which consortium is the rest we want to cooperate with." Xia Yu said immediately: "This is what I want to tell you. Jiuding Bank must deeply establish cooperative relationships with the core companies of the Sanhe Consortium. Whether it is going to go or not is secondary. The most important thing is to lend to these companies. Establish a debt relationship." "The core of the Sanhe Consortium, Sanhe Bank, has total assets of less than US$75 billion, and the other Toyo Trust Bank is even less worth mentioning. These two banks alone will definitely not be able to support the Sanhe Consortium. Company, this is our opportunity." "On the premise of doing this well, if the funds are sufficient, then we will focus on cooperating with influential families in the Sanhe Consortium, providing loans to other businesses of these families, and establishing friendly cooperative relations." "Understand?" Liu Tianci has faintly guessed the purpose of the chairman. He tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and solemnly said: "Chairman, don''t worry, I know what to do. After returning, except to do what you said. , I will mobilize another three billion U.S. dollars to enter the island country to accelerate expansion. Xia Yu showed appreciation and said softly: "Yes, you can take care of the others, as long as you can meet my requirements." Later, Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi, who was sitting in danger, and said: "Wang Qi, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. of the island country will also continue to grow. I can tell you bluntly that in the next 1989, the island country¡¯s stock market will skyrocket at least four times. With the current strength of Jiuding Securities, there is not much meat to eat." "Although the stock market on the Xiangjiang side has become formal, the plate is still too small, and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is almost close to the ceiling. No matter how high it is, it will not be too high. Funds should focus more on the island country." "In addition, I am going to acquire Nomura Securities in the island country." "Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is one of the core companies of the Sanhe Consortium, but it is very independent. Sanhe Bank only holds 5.1% of the equity. With the strength of Sanhe Bank, it wants to help Nomura too much. Securities are not possible either." "However, Nomura Securities is one of the ten largest securities companies in the island country at any rate, and there is the largest unofficial Nomura Research Institute in the island country. It is not easy to defeat because of the gathering of elites." "Nomura Securities also has a branch in Hong Kong. You must have fought with it before. You should know the strength of Nomura Securities ~ www.novelhall.com~ Although it is a tough root, as long as it can defeat Nomura Securities, it will be enough for Jiuding The reputation of the securities company is even higher. Wearing this halo, then you can seize the opportunity to raise funds openly." "This time, you will come to the island country with me. You will operate it. I will take the opportunity to exercise. You will also take advantage of this opportunity to exercise. The Xiangjiang Capital Market is currently just a small pond. You are still young and staying here is not conducive. Your growth." Wang Qi replied, "Chairman, thank you for your cultivation!" Xia Yu showed a smile: "You are my arm. If you don''t train you, who should I train?" Wang Qi looked at Xia Yu gratefully, feeling moved in his heart. "You have left temporarily, and you want to arrange for someone to temporarily take charge of the company. Does Yuan Tianfan have this ability now?" Faced with Xia Yu¡¯s question, Wang Qi said without hesitation: ¡°Chairman, I¡¯ve been on the market in the past few years to bring Tianfan with him. His talent is the strongest among all the employees I¡¯ve seen. There are few that can match him, and now he is very clear about all aspects of the company." "I think he can do it with his ability!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "If you have it, it''s him, just take advantage of this opportunity to temper him." "After you go back, talk to him, the group will also immediately next appointment documents." "I''ll give you two days to get things over, and go to the island country with me on the seventh day." "Yes!" Wang Qi replied decisively. "Do you two have any questions?" "If not, go back..." PS: After two o''clock, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and the second one will be sent, and I will ask for a monthly ticket for recommendation https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1188: Devil in the world (four K big On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Yu took dozens of people and boarded a Cathay Pacific plane to the island nation of Tokyo. Taking into account the crowds of people at the airport, Xia Yu strictly forbids companies from the island countries to come to the airport to welcome him. After coming out of the airport, Xia Yu''s convoy went straight to his home in Tokyo. There was basically nothing else that day, and it was the next day in a blink of an eye. After eating breakfast early in the morning, Xia Yu, led by Wang Qi, came to the island headquarters of Jiuding Securities in Tokyo¡¯s financial district. As soon as he got out of the car, Xia Yu saw three people in suits standing at the gate with a serious face. After seeing Xia Yu and others, he quickly greeted him. Without Wang Qi''s introduction, the three immediately bowed to Xia Yu, Wang Qi and others nearly ninety degrees, and greeted Xia Yu and others in English. "Boss, President, welcome you!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Get up!" "Chairman, let''s go to the meeting room first, and I will introduce you to you later." At this time, Wang Qi suggested that he felt that it was really bad to stand like this at the door. "You can arrange it." Xia Yu said casually without comment. Then, Wang Qi said a few words to the three who could not afford to bow, and the group entered the company and came to the company''s conference room. "Matsumoto Yu, introduce yourself from you." After everyone was seated, Wang Qi commanded the middle-aged man with gold glasses sitting opposite. "Ok." "Boss, I am Matsumoto Yu. I joined the company in May 1981. I am currently serving as the company''s president. My introduction is over." After introducing himself, Matsumoto Yu saw Xia Yu nodding to him, and he took his seat again. Afterwards, Matsumoto Yu stood up and introduced himself briefly. The one on the left with a mole on his left face is Chibe Chi, who currently serves as the vice president of the company and the head of the bond financing department. The one on the right combed a mid-distribution type that seemed to be the oldest, named Naoki Yamashita, who was also the company''s vice president and was also responsible for the fixed financial management department. After the three of them introduced themselves, Wang Qicai introduced them to Xia Yu''s identity: "You should have known before, this is my boss. Starting from today, I will temporarily take over the company and I will be here. You must do your best to cooperate and assist." The three of Matsumoto Yu stood up immediately, as if they had gone through a simulation, their behavior was unusually consistent, and they all bowed and replied respectfully: "Yes!" "Boss, we will definitely cooperate!" "Well, sit down!" Xia Yu smiled back at them, and then asked them to sit down again. "Starting with Yu Matsumoto, tell me briefly about the company and the department you are responsible for." "boss¡­¡­" ... After listening to them for half an hour, Xia Yu let Chibian Shi and Yamashita Naoki go out, leaving Matsumoto Yu alone, Li Wuming stood behind Xia Yu, and the other two bodyguards closed the door and guarded it. Only Xia Yu, Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu sat at the table. This kind of specification made Matsumoto Yu''s spirits up, sitting in a tight-knit manner, looking at Xia Yu without squinting. On the surface, he looked very calm, but in fact he was disturbed. Xia Yu looked up and down Matsumoto Yu with interest. Just when Matsumoto Yu was a little sweaty, Xia Yu suddenly said, "Matsumoto Yu, Wang Qi told me your situation emphatically. You are a top-level elite. A great contribution." Matsumoto Yu hurriedly said humbly: "Thank you for the compliment, boss. Under the wise leadership of you and Mr. Wang, I just did my best to do what I should do." Xia Yu smiled and said, "I have read your resume. You served as the president of Shin Kong Securities from 1974 to 1980. During your seven years as the president, Shin Kong Securities developed from a small securities company to With a medium-sized securities company, the company¡¯s assets have grown from 10 billion yen to more than 510 billion yen, a fifty-fold increase!" "But it''s a pity that in May 1980, you were fired by Shin Kong Securities Company because of a strategic error that caused Shin Kong Securities to suffer serious losses." "Then you applied to Ogawa Securities Co., and you were dismissed again two months later. The reason was that you did not agree with the company''s philosophy. After that, you stayed at home until May 1981, when you joined Jiuding Securities as the CEO." "Your resume is correct, right?" Matsumoto''s expression was serious, and he nodded and replied: "Boss, what you said is right." Xia Yu smiled, leaned on the chair, folded his hands on his chest, and said lightly: "You are lying!" Yu Matsumoto shook his face, his eyes were a little erratic, and he dared not look into Xia Yu''s eyes. He bit the bullet and said, "Boss, I didn''t lie. I did cause Shinkong Securities to lose more than 100 billion yen because of a mistake, which triggered investors. I was dissatisfied with the board of directors, so the board discussed and decided to fire me." "I entered Ogawa Securities Company because I felt that I couldn''t adapt. Personally, I was more assertive and had big differences with other directors, so I was fired. "In the ten months I was waiting for a job at home, I have not given up on studying, and I have been summing up and reflecting on myself, and then I came to the company to apply for the position of CEO, which happened to be competent." When Matsumoto Yu spoke, the smile on Xia Yu''s face had disappeared. Sitting aside, Wang Qi said in a serious tone: "Matsumoto Yu, you can deceive me, but the boss can''t be wrong, I hope you can confess to the boss!" Facing several pairs of calm eyes, Matsumoto Yu''s expression was very reluctant. He tried his best to keep himself calm, trying to insist that he did not lie, but facing Xia Yu''s eyes, his mouth squirmed, but he couldn''t say it. Because his instinct tells him that he can no longer lie. But let him tell the truth, he is absolutely unwilling. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and a decision was made in his heart. Then he got up and bowed ninety degrees to Xia Yu and Wang Qi again, and said, "Boss, Mr. Wang, thank the company for recognizing me. I can also swear by my life. In my job position, I have always Do your best to be worthy of the company''s reward." "But I have my problems, I..." Before Matsumoto Yu finished speaking, Xia Yu frowned slightly, interrupted him directly, and ordered: "Okay, sit down!" "boss¡­¡­" Matsumoto Yu called out hesitantly. Xia Yu looked like a knife and said in a deep voice, "Sit down!" Matsumoto Yu didn''t dare to speak any more, sat down honestly, and glanced at the three bodyguards including Li Wuming in the house subconsciously. He was extremely nervous, and his hands tightly grasped the trousers on his thighs, his palms were full of sweat. Matsumoto originally thought that Xia Yu''s thunder and anger would come. I didn''t think about it, but saw Xia Yu''s eyes showing appreciation and said: "Matsumoto Yu, in terms of ability and attitude, you are a top elite in the financial industry, and you are indeed responsible for your work. I am very optimistic about your future!" Matsumoto Yu quickly thanked, "Thank you for your approval." "However, as the owner of the company, it is impossible for me to see a time bomb buried in the company and ignore it!" "This is my company, not your tool for revenge!" As soon as Xia Yu said this, Matsumoto Yu finally realized that he might be exposed, and his face was full of panic. He tried to make the final struggle and tried to argue: "Boss, I really don''t. If you don''t recognize me, I can resign." Xia Yu snorted coldly, "Do you think you can be fine if you resign?" "Do local companies in the financial sector of the island country have a place for you?" "Or do you want to go to Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs or Merrill Lynch?" "Or, are you planning to give up revenge on Ayukawa Masato?" When Xia Yu finally said the name of Ayukawa Masato, Yu Matsumoto showed despair and pain on his face, closed his eyes and shook his head. At this moment, he was surrounded by despair. He didn''t expect that he endured the humiliation and made a plan of revenge. It had only been more than a year before he declared a failure. Xia Yu was able to name the name of Ayukawa Masato, so he must have known the true inside story. At this time, he was full of regret, why should he apply for the job at Jiuding Securities Company! At the beginning, he carefully understood the non-local securities companies in the island country, and knew that Jiuding Securities had a close relationship with Sanhe Consortium. In addition, he also knew the Jiuding Consortium behind Jiuding Securities. In his opinion, Jiuding Securities is absolutely suitable for him as a platform for struggle. It happens that Jiuding Securities is preparing to change the president. This is an excellent opportunity and a position that Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and other companies cannot provide temporarily. So he applied for the job with all his strength, and as he wished, he successfully got the position. And after entering Jiuding Securities Company, Masato Ayukawa''s hands were not so long, and he did not continue to be suppressed and persecuted. However, he did not expect that he still underestimated the Jiuding Consortium behind Jiuding Securities, and underestimated the boss of Xia Yu, and even checked his details... Watching Matsumoto Yu shed painful tears in despair and helplessness, Wang Qi, who had read the intelligence yesterday, blamed Matsumoto Yu, and at the same time expressed deep sympathy for his experience. Wang Qi asked himself, if he had such an accident as Matsumoto Yu, he would not be able to bear the humiliation and bear the burden of pain and hatred to survive. Even without mentioning his financial ability, he is definitely a top talent in terms of "endurance" alone! "Matsumoto Yu, for Hideko, you are a good father!" "No, I don''t deserve to be a father, I''m sorry for her, I don''t have the ability to protect her, let her pass away at a young age... ooh... ah..." At this time, Xia Yu suddenly uttered a sentence that touched Matsumoto Yu''s heartstrings again. This sentence seemed to have magical power and made Matsumoto Yu howl. A forty-seven-year-old middle-aged man, holding his head in his hands, holding his hair tightly in his palms, and crying in pain, the scene was so sad and sad. Seeing this scene, all memories of Matsumoto Yu appeared in Xia Yu''s mind, and he was deeply moved. In fact, when he learned that the president of Jiuding Securities Island Branch was Matsumoto Yu, Xia Yu didn''t react at first. Later, remembering some information, he asked Luo Wang to investigate with all his strength. The intelligence of the final investigation showed that Matsumoto Yu is a past life. Matsumoto Yu, who caused a huge wave in the island country''s financial world. In the previous life, there was no Jiuding Securities Company. Matsumoto joined the Morgan Stanley Island Branch, starting from the top, and then climbed to the position of CEO of the Morgan Stanley Island Branch. He is indeed the top elite in the island country''s financial industry, and he is also a top talent in the world. Under his leadership, the Morgan Stanley Island Branch has developed very fast. To give the simplest example, in 1990, the scale of securities traded by Morgan Stanley accounted for 100% of the annual transaction volume of the island country¡¯s securities market. 10.38/! More than one-tenth! At that time, there were more than 200 local securities companies in the island country. Counting the branches of foreign multinational companies, the total number of island country securities companies was nearly 400, but the Morgan Stanley family achieved one-tenth of the island country¡¯s securities. The share of the trading market. Although Morgan Stanley is backed by the Morgan consortium, in a place like the island country, in addition to the island country¡¯s six major consortia and local top securities companies, there are also other foreign consortia¡¯s tentacles in the island country. This step can also be achieved. I want to know how strong Matsumoto Yu is. Despite such high ability, Matsumoto Yu has been very low-key and rarely accepts interviews, so the media exposure is very low, and he does not publish books. Naturally, he cannot be like "Matsushita Shinnosuke", "Morita Akio", "Inamori Kazuo" "The others are praised by various titles. The reason why Matsumoto Yu is so low-key is because he has been planning one thing, that is, destroying Fuji Securities, destroying the Fuji Consortium, and taking revenge on Ayukawa Masato and the Ayukawa family behind him! After he used Morgan Stanley to launch an offensive, Fuji Securities suffered heavy losses, causing Fuji Bank to suffer serious losses. Even the Fuji Consortium also broke out in crisis. The six major island consortia thought that the Morgan Consortium was preparing to attack the Fuji Consortium. The upper class of the island country panicked. At the same time, Matsumoto Yu used the wealth he accumulated over the years to hire killers to carry out a full-scale assassination of the Ayukawa family. The biggest target was Ayukawa Masato who killed his daughter Eiko Matsumoto more than ten years ago. . Unfortunately, at that time, Masato Ayukawa was the designated heir of the Ayukawa family and the core of the Fuji Consortium. The security forces were very strong. The killer failed to kill Masato Ayukawa. As a result, the Ayukawa family found the cause and retaliated wildly. Matsumoto Yu His family members who were hiding in the United States were assassinated. After the Morgan Consortium learned of the situation, it was firstly because Morgan Stanley did benefit from it, followed by Matsumoto''s hired assassination first, the Ayukawa family retaliation later, and the six major consortiums of the island nation were also in unison. I can only give up. Moreover, the relationship between the Ayukawa family and the political circles of the island country is very complicated. The scandal involving the future head of the Ayukawa family must not be exposed, so the incident was finally put down by the joint. Ordinary people don''t know the situation, but the financial world knows about it, and the truth is widely spread. While the elites admired and regretted Matsumoto Yu, they did not condemn the initiator Ayukawa Masato too much. After all, in the financial world of Europe and the United States, more horrible and heinous things exist, and there are so many beasts in human skin on Wall Street. Count, there is no worst, only worse! Everyone is used to it! It''s a pity that Matsumoto''s revenge failed, and the devil still stayed in the world and wreaked havoc! There is only one legend left by Matsumoto Yu, and as time passed, it was slowly forgotten... PS: As soon as I came back to work, I raided the census. I''m very sorry that I didn''t update it yesterday. Today is four thousand chapters. To dig a hole in the Fuji Consortium, just a Sanhe would be too boring. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1189: Willing to betray the country and the nation Let Matsumoto Yu vent for a while, and see that he has changed from howling into silent tears, Xia Yu suddenly said: "Matsumoto Yu, do you want to avenge your daughter?" These words instantly stimulated Matsumoto''s nerves. He suddenly recovered, looking at Xia Yu with red and swollen eyes, with a somewhat hoarse voice and resolutely said: "I think, I want to dream!" "I want Masato Ayukawa to bury my daughter, and I want the Ayukawa family to pay the price of blood!" After finishing speaking, Matsumoto Yu looked at Xia Yu in panic with anticipation. His IQ is extremely high, and he has guessed that the boss may still leave him after discovering his purpose... Sure enough, Xia Yu''s next sentence made him extremely excited. "I can help you!" "Boss, are you true?" "Are you really willing to clash with the Fuji Consortium?" Matsumoto Yu cared too much, so after Xia Yu expressed his opinion, he was afraid that all this was false, he asked again with anxiety and expectation. Xia Yu looked at Matsumoto Yu with an indifferent expression, and said indifferently: "The Fuji Foundation is very powerful, much stronger than me, and the Ayukawa family is one of the two core families of the Fuji Foundation. Even through more than ten years of development, Overtaking the Yasuda family, is about to obtain the absolute leadership of the Fuji Consortium." "The Ayukawa family has power throughout the political, business, and black realms. There are only two prime ministers who have relatives with the Ayukawa family. The Fuji Consortium has won the support and trust of the military." "And Masato Ayukawa is the eldest grandson of Yaichi Ayukawa, the current head of the Ayukawa family, and a well-known financial genius in the island country. He is in charge of Fuji Securities, and is already the first heir to the next generation of the Ayukawa family." "And I don''t have any conflict or hatred with the Fuji Consortium. Give me a reason to avenge you!" Matsumoto was silent, with a bitter expression on his face. He was born from grassroots, and the only valuable person is him! Soon, Matsumoto Yu woke up. He looked at Xia Yu with a resolute expression and promised: "Boss, the only thing I have is my loyalty and ability. No matter what you ask me to do, I am willing, including betrayal. My country and nation!" Seeing the firmness in Matsumoto Yu''s eyes and listening to his solemn words, Wang Qi shuddered suddenly, and the look in Matsumoto Yu''s eyes changed. This is a ruthless person, but also a ruthless person with a high IQ who has gone to extremes. It would be fine if hatred blinded his eyes, but he had enough tolerance and a calm mind. cobra! The appearance of a cobra suddenly appeared in Wang Qi''s mind. Have a clear goal, unlimited motivation, plenty of patience, and strong ability! But he gave up the bottom line again! Such people¡­¡­ But this kind of person is what Xia Yu wants! If you want to stir up the wind and the rain in the island country, it is not too wonderful to have such a top-level island traitor (that word will block)! As for this pair of the Kamaegawa family and even the Fuji Foundation? Ha ha! so what? In Xia Yu''s original plan, even without Matsumoto Yu''s existence, extreme right-wing consortia such as the Fuji Consortium would be his key targets for combating and reforming. Otherwise, even if he finally controls the Sanhe consortium, he will certainly be no match for the other five consortiums and other forces in the island country to jointly target and suppress them. He has to make arrangements in advance to divide, suppress and even eliminate potential enemies. Moreover, whether it is from personal emotions, national justice, or self-interest, the family created by Ayukawa Yoshisuke, a Class A war criminal, has been weakened, if it can be destroyed, it would be even better! Without the support of the Fuji Consortium, the influence of the extreme right-wing forces in the island country would definitely decline. So from this perspective, Matsumoto''s top talent is a surprise. Xia Yu took a deep look at Matsumoto Yu and said, "Matsumoto Yu, I always value talents, and I hope you will remember what you said today!" Matsumoto Yu was instantly ecstatic, stood up and bowed deeply to Xia Yu and said, "Boss, thank you! From today, I will be your minion, and I will do everything you can to accomplish anything you assign!" After speaking, Matsumoto Yu did not get up, and continued to bow deeply to show his absolute obedience and respect to Xia Yu. Xia Yu showed a smile and said softly: "Well, come on, come on!" "thank you boss!" Matsumoto said respectfully, and sat down honestly. Xia Yu said indifferently: "Matsumoto, you must be mentally prepared, and I will avenge you, but this is not the most important thing. Masato Ayukawa has to pay the price, but more importantly, he must defeat the Ayukawa family. Otherwise, let alone you, I will be in trouble." Matsumoto Yu understood what Xia Yu meant, and said obediently: "Boss, I understand, I am very grateful if you are willing to avenge me, I can wait, if five years don¡¯t work, ten years, ten years don¡¯t work, twenty years. You cannot affect your entire plan because of me." Xia Yu showed appreciation in his eyes and nodded slightly: "It''s fine if you can think so." "I hope you can turn grief into strength, work hard to improve your abilities, and create more value. The sooner the company accumulates enough strength, the sooner the gap with the Fuji Consortium will narrow, the sooner the final action will take. ." "Prior to this, you should no longer have conflicts with Ayukawa Masato, and you should also hide your hatred for him and the Ayukawa family, and lower his guard." "At present, he is only acting with a guilty conscience and has conflicts with you again. He is afraid that you can control enough power to cause unknown risks, so he uses other means to suppress you." "Regarding the cause of your daughter Yingzi''s death, there will be a public resolution after a while, and the charges will be placed on others. This is the end of this matter, I mean you understand?" "Boss, I understand what you mean, and I will bear it!" Matsumoto Yuu clenched his fists and responded respectfully and obediently. He can understand that the boss''s handling of this is indeed the most conducive to long-term planning. It is not that he has never thought of doing this before, but that he does not have such a great ability to do so. But now that his boss has this ability, he will definitely not refuse. Although this will temporarily cause his deceased daughter to be wronged, it doesn''t matter whether he is wronged or not. As long as Masato Ayukawa pays the price of his life in the end, it will be enough to comfort his dead daughter! "You can understand it!" "One more thing, I will send someone to protect you and your family in secret, so you don''t need to worry about this later, you can live as you please." "Thank you boss!" Matsumoto said gratefully, and he was relieved. This is the best situation. As for other things, he doesn''t want to think about it, nor dare to think about it. The only thing he can do is to devote himself to work, show his abilities, and create enough value! He understands very well that in this world, valuable talents are qualified to live and valuable talents are qualified to be used by others, and then what they say has weight... "Do you have anything else to say?" Facing Xia Yu''s question, Matsumoto shook his head: "Boss, I don''t have it." "Well, then you go out first, and tidy up. You can''t work in the company in this state." "Yes!" "Boss, I''ll go out first." "Go ahead." After Matsumoto bowed deeply again, he respectfully left The two bodyguards who guarded the gate also went out. Only Xia Yu, Li Wuming and Wang Qi were left in the room. Wang Qi said with deep emotion: "Chairman, Matsumoto Yu has subverted my impression of him. If this kind of person has enough resources, it is absolutely terrifying." "In order to get revenge, he can betray the country and the nation without hesitation, tusk..." Li Wuming couldn''t help but said: "People without rules are the most terrible. If the island people know his face, although they will admire and pity him, they will certainly eliminate him without hesitation." Xia Yu smiled: "This kind of talent is just what I need." "Matsumoto must have known the dark side of this society before, but if he was not involved, he could turn a blind eye, but when his daughter was also persecuted, his position changed." "Actually, it is understandable that the reason why Masato Ayukawa can do whatever he wants is that he relies on the power of the Ayukawa family and the Fuji Foundation. The Ayukawa family has a deep connection with the island nation¡¯s political circles. The government represents the country. At the same time, he also hates the country''s inaction and injustice. It has been almost two years since the report was reported to the police, and there has been no result. No matter which father it is, he will not be reconciled." "The more he hates the country, the more at ease I can use it..." Li Wuming and Wang Qi nodded in agreement. "Forty-five years ago, devils developed traitors on the mainland. We are now developing island traitors. Heaven is a reincarnation." Li Wuming said with a smile. After chatting in the conference room for a while, Xia Yu got up and said: "Let''s go, let''s go out, it''s time to officially work..." PS: I am really busy at work, but there will still be a monthly guarantee of 100,000 words, so don¡¯t worry. https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1190: 3 goals For the next week, Xia Yu was thoroughly understanding the current situation of the island country¡¯s financial markets. At the same time, he also made certain personnel adjustments to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and temporarily formed several executive teams. During this period, Xia Yu was very low-key, and Wang Qi was tight-lipped, so even his partner Kazuya Fukuhara did not know that Xia Yu was already in the island country. Wait until February 27, Sunday this day. Xia Yu finally waited for what he needed¡ªthe commercial secrets of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. that Luowang had stolen by secret means. These trade secrets involve the investment details of Nomura Securities and the internal secret analysis report of Nomura Research Institute and Nomura Computer System Center. Of course, in addition to letting Luo Wang obtain these confidential business intelligence, Xia Yu has already let his other companies and institutions figure out all the information revealed on Nomura Securities. Once you have everything you need, it''s time to act! Xia Yu immediately called Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu to his luxurious villa in Tokyo. "Our first target is Nomura Securities Company. This is all the information, please take a look first!" After giving Wang Qi and Matsumotoyou a piece of information, Xia Yu ignored them, leaning on the soft and comfortable sofa, and deduced his plan again in his mind. While Xia Yu was thinking, Wang Qi looked at the document in his hand with a normal expression, but Matsumoto Yu''s face was full of shock. He has seen the boss''s terrorist ability once again, and he even investigated the Nomura Securities Company, one of the ten largest securities companies in the island country, and even found out various internal investment data. This intelligence force is amazing! He was once again glad that he followed the right person! ... Nomura Securities Company can be traced back to Nomura Store established by Tokusachi Nomura in 1872, and then passed to Tokusachi Onomura, who established Osaka Nomura Bank in 1918. Then on December 25, 1925, the securities department of Osaka Nomura Bank was spun off and became Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. In 1927, Nomura Securities opened an office in New York, USA. After World War II, the Nomura family suffered heavy losses due to the loss of the island nation after the war. They lost Osaka Nomura Bank. Osaka Nomura Bank was reorganized into Daiwa Bank in 1948. It is also one of the top 20 largest banks in the island nation. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the Nomura family. . However, starting in 1961, Nomura Securities was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Osaka Stock Exchange, and the Nagoya Stock Exchange. Then in 1981, it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. It became a famous international company. securities company. As of the latest data, Nomura Securities currently has total assets of 2028.7 billion yen, which is equivalent to more than 8.56 billion US dollars at the latest exchange rate, and has net assets of 3,653. Billion yen, equivalent to more than US$1.747 billion, and the net asset ratio reached 20.4%. The assets of these two trillion yen are distributed in many places around the world. Among them, the island countries have the most domestic possessions, accounting for 59%, with 116.9 billion yen, equivalent to US$5.5 billion. The US branch has the second largest assets, with more than US$ 941 million. The UK branch has the third largest asset size, with more than US$1.45 billion. Then there are other branches including Hong Kong, France, Australia and other places, with assets totaling more than 524 million US dollars. In addition to assets, the most important thing is the market value and equity distribution. Because Nomura Securities is listed in four places, the stock price and market value of each place are different. The Tokyo Stock Exchange, Osaka Stock Exchange, and Nagoya Stock Exchange in the island country are better. The market capitalization gap between the three exchanges is not large. The highest is the Tokyo Stock Exchange, with a total market value of 770.9 billion days. yuan. Then, in the Nagoya Stock Exchange, Nomura Securities has a total market value of 767.6 billion yen. Finally, in the Osaka Stock Exchange, the total market value is more than 764.3 billion yen. In terms of equity, also because of the successive listings in four places, a large amount of equity was released, especially when it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1981, in order to increase influence and to absorb funds as much as possible to accelerate the growth of the US branch. Therefore, Nomura Securities directly issued 249 million additional shares, all of which were used for financing. The number of additional shares accounted for 20% of the total equity after the additional issuance! After dilution time and time again, Nomura Securities'' equity has been very dispersed. Of course, the repeated issuance of additional financing and stock splits has also brought Nomura Securities'' total equity to 1.245 billion shares, which is very large, which also facilitates the circulation of Nomura Securities'' stocks. Among them, the largest shareholder is the Nomura family, which holds 18.7% of the equity, but the members of the Nomura family''s generation are not top-notch enough to run Nomura Securities, so they can only become vice presidents. The second largest shareholder is Junpei Hyuga, the current president of Nomura Securities, who has led the rapid growth of Nomura Securities in the past two decades, and his shareholding ratio is 12.6%. Then the third largest shareholder is Sanhe Bank, which holds 5.1% of the shares. The fourth largest shareholder is Daiwa Bank, with a shareholding ratio of 4.23%. Island Life Insurance Company, the fifth largest shareholder, holds 3.27% of the shares. After that, the total shareholding of other financial institutions in the island countries and foreign countries was 25.8%. The unidentified financial institutions and retail investors collectively hold 27.9% of the shares. It is worth mentioning that. Among them, Sanhe Bank and Island Life Insurance Company are both Sanhe Consortium and core enterprises. The total equity of these two companies is 8.37%. It is basically impossible to buy it. Xia Yu does not plan to buy it. When the Nomura Securities Company is really snatched in the future, he also needs to use this as a link to maintain the relationship with the Sanhe Foundation, so as to further penetrate the Sanhe Foundation. This information seems to be a lot, but in fact it is less than two pages. On the contrary, it is more investment information of Nomura Securities. Every word of these contents should not be missed. Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu read them very carefully. UU reading occasionally stopped to think while reading, so they were very slow. Before I knew it, more than an hour passed... Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu finally read all the information in their hands. After waiting for so long, Xia Yu, who planned to perform the sword himself, did not ask them what they thought, but went directly to the subject. "You have read the information, so I''ll just say it." "The ultimate goal of this plan is to seize control of Nomura Securities." "But now Nomura Securities has a very healthy development. Last year, its revenue reached 600 million U.S. dollars and its net profit reached more than 171 million U.S. dollars. The current market value after conversion is as high as 3,253 million U.S. dollars. USD, the price-earnings ratio has reached 19 times!" "The price and ratio are too high!" "And Nomura Securities has a very good development trend. Investors will not easily transfer stocks. The cost of forced acquisition is too high and the possibility of failure is high." "So I will make Nomura Securities a substantial loss through a series of actions, and then launch an acquisition at the right time, and successfully acquire the ownership at one time." "The goal of the action, you open the information in your hand and find the No. 2, No. 7 and No. 11 projects marked in the investment list of Nomura Securities." Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu just read the information carefully, so they quickly found the target Xia Yu mentioned. They are: No. 2: Nomura Securities Company shorted the Ocean Fishery Company project. No. 7: Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is engaged in the project of Long Island Country Kosi Industry Company. No. 11: Nomura Securities'' U.S. Branch is doing long international crude oil futures projects! PS: I worked too much overtime in the census, and I came back too late. I didn¡¯t finish writing until soon, sorry https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1191: Mingxiu plank road-short! In the second project, it shorted Ocean Fishery Company. Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. acted fiercely. It gambled against more than a dozen institutions and sold up to 77.3 million shares of Ocean Fishery Company at an average price of 313.5 yen per share, with 24.234 billion in return. JPY. Based on the latest stock price of Ocean Fishery, the short-selling floating profit reached 3.175 billion yen. The No. 7 project is long the island country small silk industry company, with a cumulative investment of 30 billion yen, and Shigekura holds 23.538 million shares of the island country small silk industry company, accounting for 6.72% of the total share capital. The current floating profit is 2.213 billion. JPY. On the 11th project, short-term long-term international crude oil futures. The margin ratio of light crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange is 5%. Nomura Securities has invested a full US$100 million, which is enlarged to US$2 billion to go long. The opening price is $30.18/barrel. Each of these three goals is not small, especially the international crude oil futures, which have a large number of players and are not easily able to fluctuate prices. Therefore, knowing that Nomura Securities is doing long, it is difficult to start. Glancing at the two men with solemn faces, Xia Yu smiled, then picked up the thin material beside him, and threw a share to them each. "International crude oil futures are being longed by Nomura Securities'' U.S. branch. The island country futures exchange has not yet listed crude oil futures. So this goal, I will let the US do it. You can ignore it, and just follow the process. ." "Daiyang Fishery Company and the island country Kosi Industry Company are the ones you want to participate in together." "This is the situation of the two companies. After reading it, you will better understand the original intention of Nomura Securities." Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu took it over and scanned them carefully. This material is very thin, not much content, it is the detailed information of the two companies. The first is Dayang Fisheries Company. Dayang Fisheries Company, a company with a century-old history in the island country, was founded in 1880 and is the first of the six major fishery companies in the island country. In terms of annual revenue alone, it can be among the top 30 in the island country! Last year, Ocean Fishery''s annual turnover was as high as 1,126.461 billion yen, but unfortunately, the annual financial report released some time ago disclosed that Ocean Fishery''s annual net loss was 711 million yen. Compared with 1981 and 1980, the revenue in 1982 increased, but the net profit fell three times in a row. In 1980, the annual net profit was about 880 million yen. In 1981, Net profit is 232 million yen. The reason why the revenue is as high as trillion yen, but still falling into a loss, is because of the outbreak of the second oil crisis. Since the 1960s, the fishery output of island countries has increased sharply, especially the rapid growth of offshore fishery output, and the offshore fishery has also increased. However, with the implementation of the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone system and the oil crisis that broke out in 1973, The offshore fishing industry was hit hard, but it was still able to survive. After all, when the first oil crisis broke out, the international crude oil price only broke through the price of ten dollars a barrel for the first time. After five or six years, it finally got better again. The strategic decision of Dayang Fishery Corporation believed that the shipbuilding industry was in a downturn, so it took over a group of ocean fishing boats and prepared to show its strengths. Unexpectedly, the second oil crisis broke out. The international crude oil price soared to the highest level in history, reaching a maximum of 39 US dollars a barrel. Naturally, the prices of gasoline and diesel rose. Ocean fishing, which consumes a lot of fuel, has been hit hard again, so Dayang Fisheries has achieved three consecutive losses. Whether Nomura Securities Co. obtains inside information ahead of time or analyzes it, it is understandable to short the Ocean Fishery Co., Ltd. The island country Kosei Industrial Company is a large-scale industrial equipment and product manufacturing company established in 1915. The company currently has more than 2,600 employees. The company has a wide range of products, including railway vehicle equipment, aircraft passenger seats, lighting equipment, information equipment, transportation system equipment, environmental control system equipment, sanitary equipment, etc., and customers are all over the island countries. Railways, automobiles, highways in island countries, transportation departments and airlines of various countries, etc. At present, the total assets of the island country Kosi Industrial Company are as high as 769.776 billion yen, and the net assets are also as high as 174.669 billion yen. When the market was closed this Friday, the total market value of the island country Kosi Industry Company was 478.877 billion yen, the total share capital was 350 million shares, and the closing stock price was 1,368.50 yen per share. Prior to the release of the island country¡¯s Kosi Industry Company¡¯s annual financial report, Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. held 23,538,600 shares of the company at an average price of 1274.5 yen per share, accounting for 6.72% of the company¡¯s total share capital. 30 billion yen has been invested, and the current floating profit is 2.213 billion yen. For Ocean Fisheries, Nomura Securities is short. For the island country Kosi Industry Company, Nomura Securities is long. From the data point of view, these two projects of Nomura Securities Company are very wise and the risks are relatively low, so Nomura Securities Company dares to invest such a huge amount of capital to operate. However, it is very stable for Nomura Securities, and it is more difficult for companies like Jiuding Securities that want to attack. After both Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu read the information, their brows were tightly frowned, wondering where they could start. "Okay, you have read the information and the background of the action is clear, then I will tell you about the overall plan..." As Xia Yu talked about the huge plan, Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu became more and more shocked, because the plan was not limited to the island country, but involved many areas. After the two listened, there was a feeling of a sudden broadening of vision. But this time, Xia Yu was going to do it himself and take them with them, so Wang Qi and Matsumotoyou could only participate as toolmen, waiting for Xia Yu''s scheduling. What''s more, there are some resources that only Xia Yu knows and can mobilize. It is not enough to be Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu. ... After the plan was set up, the next Monday, as soon as the financial market became active, formal action was taken. The investment department of Wells Fargo Bank Island Branch came forward and divided them into multiple groups to attack separately. The first group directly approached Tokai Bank because Tokai Bank was the sixth largest shareholder of Nomura Securities. ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Holds 2.4% of its equity. Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. has a good momentum of development. Under the leadership of its president Junpei Hyuga, it can be described as thriving. Therefore, Tokai Bank is very optimistic about the future of Nomura Securities Company. Tokai Bank also intends to hold equity in Nomura Securities Company for a long time as a business link. Therefore, in the face of Wells Fargo¡¯s short gambling business, the president of Tokai Bank immediately talked with the president of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. on the phone, and only asked about the true situation of Nomura Securities Co., and then agreed on the same day Following Wells Fargo¡¯s gambling application, the 29.88 million shares held by Wells Fargo, totalling 2.4% of the shares, were handed over to Wells Fargo Bank. At the time of gambling, each share is equal to the real-time stock price in the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and an agreement is signed at a price of 619.34 yen per share. The amount of gambling is as high as 18.506 billion yen! The 2.4% equity held by a Donghai Bank in an island country simply cannot meet the needs of Wells Fargo. At the same time, the island branch of Wells Fargo Bank continued to find Daiwa Bank among the top five shareholders, as well as other financial institutions. On the New York side of the United States, Wells Fargo also found a financial institution that holds equity in Nomura Securities. As a big bank that has only risen in the past two years, Wells Fargo¡¯s act of shorting Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. has attracted considerable attention in the financial market. As Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is the target, can it not get news? Specific information about Wells Fargo''s short-selling was continuously presented to the desk of Junpei Hyuga, President of Nomura Securities Company! PS: There may be some typos, I will change it late at night, and the first one will be sent! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1192: Obtain a large amount of equity at low cost "President, the latest situation has been investigated!" The head of the investment department of Nomura Securities Co. and Junhei Hyuga''s confidant Yamakita entered the office, walked quickly to the front of Junhei Hyuga, and bowed respectfully to report. "Sit down and say!" "Yes, thank you President!" Shanbeixiong sat upright, looked straight at Junhei Hyuga, and then reported: "As for the shareholders and shareholding institutions we know, I have asked them to call one by one to verify that the Nomura family, Sanhe Bank, Island Life Insurance Company and other major shareholders have not been asked for a door-to-door bet by Wells Fargo." "But Daiwa Bank, Donghai Bank and other shareholder institutions have basically agreed to the gambling, and the equity has been transferred." "According to statistics, it has been determined that Wells Fargo has acquired 181 million shares in our country, accounting for 14.45% of the total equity." "As for the New York side of the United States, there is no result yet, but Wells Fargo has a domestic advantage in the United States. We estimate that Wells Fargo can obtain more than 5% of the equity." "It is conservatively estimated that Wells Fargo currently holds more than 20% of our company''s equity." "Once all these stocks are sold out, it will definitely cause a heavy blow to our stock price!" Upon hearing this, Chunping Hyuga looked a little gloomy, and snorted coldly, "Baga! Wells Fargo thought that this would defeat us, it was naive!" On the face of disdain, he still asked about the company''s situation. "During this period, our investment has not gone wrong, right?" Shan Beixiong shook his head and said: "I have conducted a comprehensive self-examination. Every domestic investment has been rigorously analyzed and judged. These investment projects are on the pre-judged track and no problems have been found." "If we find a problem, we can respond in time." "As for the situation at the New York branch of the United States, everything is normal there." Junping Hyuga pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What about shorting the ocean fishery project?" Dayang Fishery''s short-selling plan, but he personally ordered it, mainly because he obtained the inside information in advance through the secret chain of interests, and learned about the situation of the Dayang Fishery Company, so he took a big shorthand in advance. Had it not been for super high certainty, he would not have been so radical! More than 20 billion yen was involved, so he didn''t care. "The stock price of Dayang Fisheries has been falling, and the daily trading volume and turnover rate are also normal." Shan Beixiong had guessed that the president would ask before he came, so he paid special attention to the short-selling project of Ocean Fishery Co., and he easily explained the situation. "Nothing is fine!" Junpei Hyuga immediately relieved and said with satisfaction. "President, Wells Fargo holds 181 million shares of our company in our country. Once it is sold, if there are not enough institutions to take over, our company''s stock price will plummet. Should we prepare funds to support the stock price?" Shanbei Xiong just finished asking. Junping Hyuga suddenly yelled, "Stupid!" Shanbeixiong stood up abruptly, bowed and admitted: "Yes! Subordinates are stupid!" Junping Hyuga said: "The selling of 181 million shares will definitely cause market panic, and even the stockholders will follow suit. If we take all the orders, we need to prepare at least 120 billion yen, which will make the company¡¯s capital chain empty. Some short-term investments have to be ended early!" "With so many funds to support the stock price, it is better to take the money and stare at the projects we operate. As long as these projects do not cause problems, we can wait until the first quarter earnings report is released in April, and our company''s stock price can rise again if it falls. , Wells Fargo Bank will be uncomfortable then!" "But once Wells Fargo sells stocks on a large scale, or even publishes remarks that are not conducive to our company, you have to stabilize our customers, tell the people below, let them explain clearly to the customers, and do not redeem funds by customers!" "As for the capital business with other banks, I will handle it myself." "Your main task now is to carefully manage all investment projects, and try to make the first quarter''s financial report more eye-catching. As for the release in advance or later, it depends on the actual situation!" Junping Hyuga''s meaning is very clear, and Shan Beixiong has no objection, and respectfully said: "President Yingming, I will do my best to follow your instructions!" "Hmm! Go!" Junping Hyuga slightly nodded and waved to Shan Beixiong to let him go out. Underpin stock price? Ha ha! It''s rare that Wells Fargo is willing to cooperate in suppressing the stock price. Wouldn''t it be better for him to seize the opportunity to buy back and buy at the bottom? After the repurchase, there are fewer stocks on the market, and then disclosed to the public, the stock price will naturally go up, perfect! ... From then on until the market was closed on Friday, Nomura Securities'' stock price did not fluctuate sharply, and there was no large-scale sell-off at all. The island branch of Wells Fargo Bank just disclosed its shareholding to the exchange in accordance with the normal procedures, and became the largest shareholder of Nomura Securities Co., which caused an uproar in the market. Then there was no more. Wells Fargo Bank was just like a okay person. There is no requirement to convene an extraordinary board of directors or an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. This is completely different from what Junpei Hyuga and Shanbexiong expected. They sent people to keep a close eye on the island branch of Wells Fargo Bank, only to find that after Wells Fargo Bank had completed the betting with various institutions, there was really no more information, and the equity they received was no different. This kind of abnormal behavior made Junping Hyuga and Shanbexiong confused and vigilant in their hearts. What Junping Hyuga and Shan Beixiong didn''t know was that after the disclosure of Wells Fargo Bank''s equity, all the remaining equity was transferred in the first time, except for retaining 5%. The transfer price is not a premium, it is a fair transfer. Wells Fargo Bank acquired a total of 22.63% of Nomura Securities'' equity in the gambling, which includes 8.09% of the equity gambling on Wall Street. Having obtained so much, in addition to the 5% of the shares reserved by itself, which is used to cover the direction of other shares, the remaining 17.63% of the shares are dispersed to a batch of In the hands of shore-registered shell companies, none of them hold more than 5% of the shares, and there is no need for equity disclosure. After all, the funds were transferred to the accounts of Wells Fargo Bank through the accounts of these shell companies. Wells Fargo then owed a group of institutions a total of 22.63% of Nomura Securities'' equity. So in essence, no matter how these shares are transferred, these shares do not belong to Xia Yu until the gambling agreement is completed, but he holds them temporarily. But in Xia Yu''s view, these shares belong to him! Since it is in his pocket, there is definitely no reason to return it! For gambling contracts, just spend money to solve it! After all, if you want to obtain the equity held by these institutions through acquisitions, it is impossible to complete them in two or three days. It is absolutely impossible to transfer at a fair price! One hundred percent will be sucked blood by these financial institutions! Letting Wells Fargo bet against these institutions is just a way for him to obtain large quantities of equity at low cost! For subsequent acquisitions, Nomura Securities'' stock price is to be suppressed, but it is not a rude and low-level method such as direct smashing! At this time, Xia Yu had already got his other companies into action. The three main forces are Jiuding Securities, American Bridgewater Fund and American Tiger Fund! Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is in charge of Dayang Fishery Company and Island Small Silk Industry Company. The Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund have entered the New York Mercantile Exchange and are responsible for crude oil futures! PS: The second one is here, ask for votes at the end of the month! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1193: Big hit Although since the outbreak of the second oil crisis, the international crude oil price peaked at 39 US dollars a barrel, and it began to fall all the way. But the road to price decline has not been smooth. For example, around the fourth quarter of 1982, the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America caused problems in the supply of crude oil in this important oil-producing region in Latin America, which in turn caused international crude oil prices to fluctuate at high levels, with prices rising and falling. Although the short-term fluctuations are not too great, and the operation difficulty is also very high, this environment is also the most suitable for fighting between capitals, and there is no need to worry about sudden drops or skyrocketing leading to liquidation. After all, the international crude oil futures of the New York Mercantile Exchange have a margin ratio of 5%. Unless the fluctuation exceeds 5%, the position cannot be sold out! At this time, the contract price of international crude oil futures fluctuated around 30 US dollars a barrel. It would be difficult to fall one US dollar. If it fell by 5%, it would have to fall 1.5 US dollars a barrel. How easy is it? Because of this, the New York branch of Nomura Securities has the courage to finalize US$2 billion into the oil futures battlefield. There are many players entering the market, and there are many institutions that take over short and long orders. Although short-term profits are not large, the advantage is that short-term operations are high in frequency. As long as they benefit from time and time again, small profits can be piled up. This is the charm of the financial market! Different from Nomura Securities Company, Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund are shorting international international crude oil and crude oil futures. At present, the two well-known Wall Street hedge funds have invested 200 million US dollars in margin, and short positions are established at 30.15 US dollars per barrel. The eight-billion-dollar short list immediately interrupted the rising trend of crude oil futures, cleared all the long lists on the market, and directly pulled the futures price from 30.22 US dollars per barrel. Many players in the field have inquired about the news, and many more audacious organizations decided that this was an excellent opportunity to directly allocate funds to enter the market and take orders to build long positions at the price of 30.15 US dollars a barrel. In just a few minutes, the Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund''s combined $8 billion short list was completely eaten up. The power of long and short once again reached a dynamic equilibrium point. However, the $8 billion short order that was thrown out early in the morning still affected the crude oil futures trading that day. Institutions that were originally confident and prepared to go long chose to be more cautious. Seeing this situation, the major shorts will miss the opportunity, and they will cover their short positions again, and they are tacitly lowering the opening price step by step in an attempt to bring down the price of crude oil futures. By the time the market was closed that morning, the international crude oil futures price had fallen below US$30 a barrel and fixed at US$29.94 a barrel. Many long positions were losing money. For example, Nomura Securities Company opened a long position at 30.18 US dollars a barrel, and now the international crude oil futures price has fallen to 29.94 US dollars a barrel, directly causing them to lose 1.59 million US dollars. Many longs, including Nomura Securities, are not vegetarians. Where they are willing to lose money, they quickly rested at noon. After the New York Mercantile Exchange opened in the afternoon, they immediately launched a counterattack. After clearing all the empty orders, they immediately made up their positions and increased the price. . For a time, the New York Mercantile Exchange''s civil war was raging, and the major institutions were fighting happily! However, Xia Yu has not paid much attention to the battlefield on the American side. Regarding the two future kings of Wall Street, Rey Dario and Julian Robertson, he is still very relieved that the cooperation between the two funds will not be able to deal with it. A Nomura Securities Company? What''s more, he still occupies the time of the future! ... On the island country side, Jiuding Securities has also made some progress in its actions against Dayang Fisheries. "Boss, the current downward trend of Dayang Fisheries Co., Ltd. is still obvious, so there is no institution willing to bet. Therefore, we purchased 17.28 million shares from the stock market, accounting for 3.2% of the total share capital, and the average purchase price was 287.15 yen. Per share, it costs 4.962 billion yen in total." In Jiuding Securities Company, Matsumoto Yu respectfully reported the specific situation to Xia Yu. "There are so many, it''s okay!" "After the market opens in the afternoon, you don''t need to hide it, just hit the market and hit the stock price!" "Nomura Securities is still shipping, disrupting their shipping plan!" After Xia Yu listened, he immediately ordered Matsumoto Yu. "understand!" Matsumoto nodded and responded loudly. Xia Yu thought for a while, and once again told Matsumoto Yu: "After the sale in the afternoon, I will find Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. tomorrow. The goal is that they hold the 23,538,600 shares of Kosi Industrial Co., Ltd. in the island country. They must follow suit within two days. They signed a gambling agreement to take these shares." "Since they dare to go long, they should not refuse to make more money." "understand!" "Go down if there is no problem, get ready for action!" "Yes!" After speaking, Matsumoto bowed deeply to Xia Yu again, and then slowly exited the office. After a short break at noon, the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened again. Because there are too many shares outstanding and the performance is indeed poor, Dayang Fishery''s stock opened again in the afternoon and fell to 286.75 yen per share. Many stockholders who hold shares of Dayang Fishery Corporation looked sad after seeing this price. And they didn''t realize it, making them even more sad in the back! One minute after the opening of the market, Jiuding Securities immediately smashed Dayang Fishery. A total of 5 million shares, which accounted for 0.9% of the company¡¯s total share capital, were suddenly sold as a whole. The price of the pending order was very low, set at 280.00 yen per share, which was more than the opening price in the afternoon. It fell by 6.75 yen per share. A full 5 million shares, that is 33.75 million yen less! Such a huge selling order was thrown out, and there was an uproar in the exchange, and countless eyes were attracted by the stock of Ocean Fishery Company. Everyone guessed that there was a problem with Dayang Fishery! The staff responsible for monitoring the stocks of Dayang Fishery Company immediately reported sudden changes to their superiors. And Nomura Securities Co., which was shipping as planned, was completely disrupted. Investment department of Nomura Securities. After receiving the report from his subordinates, Shanbeixiong rushed to the scene and saw that all the purchase orders on the trading board were cleared, his brows frowned. "Minister, I have received news that this sale of 5 million shares was issued by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and it has now been bought by other institutions, leaving less than 3 million shares." His subordinates immediately reported the situation to Shan Beixiong Shan Beixiong frowned, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched constantly buying and sharing the huge selling orders. Fortunately, Jiuding Securities¡¯ such brain-destructive smashing behavior did not completely dampen the enthusiasm of other institutions, at least some institutions will buy. "How many stocks do we have yet to sell?" Shanbei Xiong thought for a moment, then asked his subordinates. The subordinate immediately replied respectfully: "Minister, we still have 14.32 million shares left to sell!" "There are so many more?" Shan Beixiong''s brows were upside down, and he said angrily. The company took a total of 77.3 million shares and started shipping from 323.46 yen per share. In order to avoid the stock price plummeting due to excessive shipments, it has been issued until now. There is still so much left. If the stocks are not sold out quickly, the profit of these 14.32 million shares will be very low. A few days ago, the president ordered him to maximize his profit in the first quarter. Moreover, the project of Dayang Fisheries Company was also set by the president. If the actual profit is much less than the expected profit, how can he explain to the leader? Thinking of this, he immediately told his subordinates: "We place orders in batches at a price of 279.95 yen per share." "If there is still a large selling order, I will immediately sell it at a price of 0.05 yen lower, understand?" Subordinates responded loudly: "Yes!" After speaking, the subordinates immediately communicated instructions to all employees of the department. PS: There are minor adjustments in the first two chapters. The code word was picked up last night, and the plot setting is a bit unreasonable. Please forgive me. Please click on the catalog to load it again. The first one is sent, ask for a ticket https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1194: "Pig teammates" in the eyes of Junping Hyuga In the afternoon of the same day, Jiuding Securities sold the market and Nomura Securities also rushed to ship the goods, which had a huge negative impact on the stock price of Dayang Fisheries. Perhaps some investors and institutions did not respond at the beginning, but the selling order has not stopped until I see it. Especially after the selling order for 5 million shares of Jiuding Securities Company was emptied, it again sold 5 million shares at an ultra-low price. And also from time to time withdraw the monotony and lower the price to re-list, making it clear that they will rush to escape with Nomura Securities. This behavior caused a huge panic in the market, causing the stock price of Dayang Fisheries to plummet. At the close that afternoon, Dayang Fishery''s stock price fell to 258.25 yen per share. The stock price fell to such a low level, but because of market panic, no institutions dared to take over in the second half of the afternoon. Both Nomura Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. held large stocks in their hands and failed to sell, and they fell into an embarrassing vicious circle. . This afternoon and evening, Shan Beixiong was in a bad mood! As the market opened the next morning, Dayang Fishery''s stock became a battlefield for two securities companies. Whether it is Dayang Fisheries Company, stockholders, or institutions that have taken over, they all wailed. The gods fight, and the pond fish is affected! Forget it, depending on the situation, Dayang Fishery Company is going to be unlucky. Throw the stop loss in time! With this mentality, many investors and institutions have blindly followed suit and joined the rhythm of fleeing. "This won''t work. The price is lowered and the stocks cannot be sold. For the time being, let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. take the first shot. I don''t believe that he holds a lot of stocks!" Around ten thirty, Shan Beixiong, who was a little irritable, ordered decisively to stop rushing to escape temporarily. As a result, Jiuding Securities has lost its biggest rival, and even if there are still some retail investors selling shares, it will no longer be able to cause the stock price of Dayang Fisheries to fall rapidly. At this moment, an employee ran in front of Shan Beixiong and reported some situation respectfully. Shan Beixiong''s face was instantly solemn and he asked the employees to lead the way and left the operation room. When he came to the reception room, the solemn color on Shan Beixiong''s face had disappeared, replaced by a friendly smile. "Mr. Yamashita, you are welcome!" As Shan Beixiong said, he bowed slightly and shook hands with Naoki Yamashita to greet him as a welcome sign. Naoki Yamashita also greeted Yamakita with the same etiquette: "Shanbei Jun, thank you!" "Sorry for taking your time!" Shanbei Xiong laughed, and said meaningfully: "Why? Originally planned to liquidate some stocks to withdraw funds, but since yesterday afternoon, your Jiuding Securities Company has been rushing to clear the positions with us. I just gave an order to notify my subordinates to temporarily stop liquidation. , Let you clear the position first, so it happens to be free." Naoki Yamashita moved his brows slightly, pretending to have an unexpected look, and said, "Shanbei-san, is there such a thing? I don''t know if you don''t say it!" "This is not the project I am responsible for, so I really don''t know." "If I am responsible, if I know that your company is also clearing the stock, I will definitely contact you in advance to determine the order of the clearing, so that both of our companies will not suffer a loss!" So much has been said, but it is all nice scenes. Shan Beixiong didn''t expect anything from Naoki under the mountain, he just vented his dissatisfaction. Naoki Yamashita said he was not in charge, and it was useless for Shan Beixiong to tell her. "Mr. Yamashita, I don''t know what will happen to you this time?" Shan Beixiong skipped that topic and asked directly. Naoki Yamashita sat up straight, and solemnly said: "Shanbei-kun, this visit was ordered by our president to discuss a win-win cooperation with Nomura Securities." "Please speak!" Shan Beixiong said sternly. Naoki Yamashita stated his purpose: "Your company holds 6.72% of Kosi Industrial Co., Ltd., and we hope that your company can temporarily lend it to us. Our company is willing to pay corresponding handling fees and usage fees. " Shanbeixiong''s pupils tightened, staring at Naoki Yamashita with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yamashita, your Jiuding Securities Company wants to short Kosi Industrial Company?" Naoki Yamashita didn''t change his face, and calmly said: "I don''t know about this, I just follow the orders of our President Matsumoto." "But Shanbei-jun, do you still need to ask so clearly about this kind of business?" "I remember that Nomura Securities also asked our company to borrow stocks before, and we agreed without asking more." "Anyway, since your company is optimistic about Kosi Industrial Co., Ltd. for a long time, we will return the stocks in full at that time, and your company will not suffer a loss, right? Shanbeixiong smiled, quite as if he was not smiling. "Mr. Yamashita, the equity value of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. exceeds 30 billion yen. The amount involved is too large and is beyond my scope of authority. It must be approved by our president, so there is no way to reply to you for the time being! " Naoki Yamashita nodded in understanding and said, "I understand, then trouble Yamashita-kun to report to your President Junpei." "Shall we come back this afternoon or tomorrow?" In the last sentence, despite the questioning, Yamashita Naoki deliberately limited the time, so that Shan Beixiong could not delay the time. Shanbei Xiong took a deep look at Naoki Yamashita, did not jump into the hole, and said with a faint smile: "I am not sure about this. I definitely hope to cooperate with your company, but the key lies in our president. attitude." "That''s OK, then I''ll wait for good news!" Naoki Yamashita had some regrets in his heart, but he didn''t show it. He still smiled and stood up after speaking. "Mr. Shanbei, then don''t bother, let''s go first!" "Ok!" "I will send you!" After Naoki Yamashita left, Shanbeixiong immediately made a call to the small silk industry company of the island country. He did not say that Jiuding Securities Company was going to be short, but only to understand the company''s business situation. After getting the definite answer, he went outside the office of President Junhei Hyuga and knocked on the door gently. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" Hearing the sound coming from the house, Shan Beixiong opened the door gently and walked in quickly. "President, I have important things to report to you!" Junping Hyuga, who was looking at the material and thinking, put down his pen, slowly raised his head to look at Shan Beixiong, and asked in a deep voice, "It''s Dayang Fishery Company?" Yesterday afternoon, in order to reduce the responsibility, Shan Beixiong has reported the relevant situation to Junping Day in time. Shanbei Xiong said respectfully: "President, this is the first thing, besides this one, there is another equally important thing." "Let¡¯s talk about Dayang Fisheries first." Junping day frowned slightly, and continued to calm down and ordered. "Yes!" "The stock price of Dayang Fisheries has fallen to 246.52 yen per share. In fact, when the stock price fell below 250 yen per share, I ordered my subordinates to suspend the sale of shares to avoid embarrassing competition with Jiuding Securities." "At present, we still hold 10.21 million shares in our hands. Yesterday and this morning only sold 4.11 million shares." "Especially this morning, the sale order we placed was difficult to complete, so I decided to stop the sale without authorization After saying that, Shan Beixiong lowered his head, but his gaze was still quietly peeking at Junping Hyuga. Reaction. Junping Hyuga can understand Shan Beixiong''s decision, and he will do the same instead. So he gave Shan Beixiong an affirmative answer: "You did it right!" "We cleared the stock, and Jiuding Securities also cleared the stock. In fact, our two companies'' views are the same. We are both bearish on Dayang Fishery. They hit the market. Overall, it is still good for us." "The only surprise is that they joined the market before our stocks were sold out. They did the last thing we did in advance." Speaking of this, Rao Junping Hyuga couldn''t help but feel depressed. If it is one week later, or if he knows that Jiuding Securities is going to hit the market in advance, then he can completely change the plan and abandon his own end-to-end bidding action, and the expected return will be even higher. However, people are not as good as the sky, and he did not expect that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is also shorting Dayang Fishery Co. It also affected their plans. Jiuding Securities Company is simply a pig teammate who popped up suddenly! Seeing that Shan Beixiong did not dare to answer, Junping Hyuga was bored. He faintly said: "Today, let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. clear the stock. There are so many outstanding shares of Dayang Fishery Co., and we sold most of it. It is not Jiuding Securities that took over. They should not have many stocks, and they should be able to clear their positions in a few days." "If there are special circumstances, you can deal with it in time and report to me." Shan Beixiong replied loudly: "Yes!" Junpei Hyuga continued to ask, "What''s the second thing?" PS: The second one is sent, it will be wasted if you don''t vote! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1195: Nomura Securities bites the hook! Shan Beixiong took a deep breath and solemnly said: "The second thing is also related to Jiuding Securities." "Just now, Naoki Yamashita, the vice president of Jiuding Securities, brought people here, wanting to borrow all the stocks of Kosi Industrial Company held by our company." Chunping Hyuga rallied, looked at Shan Beixiong with scorching eyes, and said solemnly: "Are they sure they want all the equity?" Shan Beixiong nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" After getting an affirmative answer, Junpingji tapped his finger on the tabletop, fell into thinking, and muttered: "Xiaosi Industry Company..." Shan Beixiong held his breath for fear of affecting his boss'' thinking. For a long time, Junping Hyuga asked, "Do you know the situation of Kosi Industry?" Shan Beixiong replied: "I have just inquired about it. Xiaosi Industrial Company is doing very well. As for whether they are telling the truth, it is not certain." Junpei Hyuga thought for a moment, and said, "I happen to be going to Yokohama in the afternoon. Then I will go to Kosi Industry Co. to find out the situation in person. You will wait for my reply!" "Ok!" Shan Beixiong dared not object, bowed his head respectfully and responded. "You can go down if it''s okay." "Yes!" ... Yokohama is very close to Tokyo, it only takes 20 minutes by car, let alone driving? In the afternoon, Junping Hyuga went to Yokohama to personally see the situation of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd., and to gain insight into the company''s business development. Nomura Securities Co. holds 6.72% of its equity. It is properly a major shareholder. Junping Hyuga is one of the directors, so it is naturally qualified to know the situation. It was Kojiro Kojiro, the president of the Kosei Kosei Industrial Company of the island country, who personally greeted him. "Junping-san, what brought you here?" "Jingyuan, long time no see!" "I haven''t been here for a long time. I don''t think that if I don''t come, I am afraid that everyone will ignore me as a director." Junpei Hyuga joked. Jingyuan Kojiro said with a serious expression: "How could it be? You, the director, is the company''s sacred needle in the financial market. If you forget, no one can forget you!" This is what Kojiro Kyomoto said. After all, with Nomura Securities'' position in the capital market, its holding of a large share of Kosi Industry Co. is the best signal to investors that it has the strategic influence of stabilizing the stock price. Of course, once Nomura Securities sells its holdings on a large scale, it will also have a huge negative impact on Kosi Industry. Having such a shareholder has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, in the mind of Kyogen Kojiro, Junpei Hyuga has a very heavy weight. This is a great **** and cannot easily be offended! While talking and laughing, a group of people entered the company and came to Kyogen Kojiro''s office. Sit down and drank tea leisurely for a while, Junping Hyuga asked to learn about the company''s real business situation. As for the reason, Junping Hyuga did not say for the time being. But Kojiro Kyomoto was able to guess something, so he agreed without hesitation, and then he let Junping Hyuga choose and take him to see whichever he wants to see, which is completely a gentleman''s magnanimous appearance. The meaning of this expression is obvious. I didn''t prepare in advance. What you see is the real situation. Sure enough, he went to several departments including the sales department and the finance department, and Junping Daily had an in-depth understanding of the real situation of Kosi Industry. Everything that I have seen reveals that Xiaosi Industrial Company is doing well. After returning to the office again, Kyogen Kojiro asked with some pride: "Junpei-kun, how is the company doing well? Didn''t you disappoint?" Junping Day exclaimed, "How can it be disappointment? It is totally a surprise. Jing Yuan-kun inherited your father''s talents and surpassed your father. Under your wise leadership, the future of Kosi Industry will be brilliant." Jingyuan Kojiro laughed heartily: "Junping Jun has a good reputation. I am not so good. It is my biggest goal in this life to be able to pass down the company smoothly and run a century-old store!" Junping Hyuga praised: "It''s definitely possible. I believe in your ability. Your son is as outstanding as you. You have someone to succeed!" "Hahaha..." ... The two touted each other, and for a while, a cheerful atmosphere filled the office. However, both of them are fox-like characters. After joking, Kojiro finally asked, "Junpei-san, is there any change in the capital market?" Both of them are shared interests in the united front. Junping Hyuga didn''t intend to conceal it, and nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, this morning, Jiuding Securities came to the door and wanted to borrow the equity held by our Nomura Securities. There is a 90% chance that you are going to short the company¡¯s stock price." Although it was 90%, since Junping Hyuga said so, Kojiro Kojiro believed that Jiuding Securities was planning to short their company''s stock. Jingyuan Kojiro was very annoyed and snorted coldly: "Jiuding Securities wants to short our stock? They are not afraid of knocking their teeth!" Junping Hyuga smiled inexplicably, "Who knows, maybe they think Kosi Industry will have a crisis in the future!" While talking, Junhei Hyuga glanced at Kyogen Kojiro. Up to now, he is still not at ease. After all, in many cases, seeing is not necessarily true. He is worried about what Kojiro still hides. Otherwise, if there is no handle, Jiuding Securities will not dare to ask them to borrow more than 30 billion yen worth of stocks to go short. How can Kojiro fail to see Junhei Hyuga''s meaning, but being questioned makes him annoyed. He immediately said: "Junping Jun, I have enough confidence in the company, the company''s debt ratio is only 68%, and the debt is not due for the time being, and it is relatively scattered, so I am not worried about any institution shorting." "I do not interfere with your company''s decision. If you think it is profitable, you can lend them the stock." "I have enough confidence in my company!" Junpei Hyuga''s pupils shrink slightly, this Kojiro Kojiro''s self-confidence is enough! At this moment, Kojiro Kojiro''s eyes rolled and a thought came into his mind. He suddenly said to Junpei Hyuga again: "Junpei-san, if Jiuding Securities really succeeds in suppressing our company''s stock price, then I have to thank him. I can entrust Nomura Securities to help me purchase a batch of stocks." As soon as Kyogen Kojiro said this, Junping Hikka no longer had any doubt in his heart. A smile appeared on his face, and he said without hesitation: "Jing Yuan Jun, I am happy to help you!" "Shall we discuss it now?" "Of course there is no problem. I can use 10 billion yen for the repurchase. If the opportunity is right, I can increase the amount." Kojiro said with a smile. ... Next, the two negotiated and reached a verbal agreement, Junpingji left here contentedly and returned to Tokyo. After returning, he immediately instructed Shan Beixiong to contact Jiuding Securities Company, willing to lend them all of 23,538,600 shares, and informed the specific handling fees and terms. Anyway, when it is determined that there is no problem, Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is ready to hold this equity for a long time. It is loaned to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and it will have to be exchanged back. How could he refuse to charge a huge fee and interest? Junping Hyuga also knows very well that Nomura Securities only holds 6.72% of the equity. Even if they do not borrow, Jiuding Securities can find other institutions. It is nothing more than to find a few more institutions to get this. More stocks. His refusal can''t stop the actions of Jiuding Securities Company, so it is better to take the opportunity to make a fortune. So the next morning, Yamashita called Naoki Yamashita, and then Naoki Yamashita led the negotiation team to negotiate with Yamashita. In the morning, Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. spent 30 billion yen in real money to purchase the shares of the island country Kosi Industrial Co., Ltd., which was taken by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. What Jiuding Securities Company paid was an agreement and some fees paid in advance. Before the agreement expires, unless the two parties reach an agreement again, even if a crisis erupts after Kosi Industry, Nomura Securities will be unable to sell its shares to stop losses, because the shares are no longer in their hands. Either watch the stock price plummet until the position is liquidated, or ask Jiuding Securities to end the agreement early. Just paid some fees and interest, and successfully locked Nomura Securities! With the results, Yamashita Naoki hurried back to the company immediately to report good news to Xia Yu. "Boss, this is the equity held by Nomura Securities Co., and I have taken it back. This is a signed agreement. All the shares held have been transferred to our account." "Thank you!" In Xia Yu''s office, after receiving the things brought back by Naoki under the mountain, Xia Yu encouraged him and then quickly browsed. "it is good!" "Nomura Securities has finally taken the bait!" After a quick review, Xia Yu was in a good mood. Only when Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is stuck, can its interests be maximized! Throwing the materials in front of Matsumoto Yu, Xia Yu ordered: "Matsumoto Yu, you put these materials in the safe." "Then sell the stocks in the account as soon as possible while controlling fluctuations as much as possible." "The other teams will reach an agreement with other institutions as soon as possible to take back more stocks and liquidate them." "Yes!" Yu Matsumoto responded with emphasis. "Ocean Fishery Company stock, how many shares do we have left to sell?" "How much has the stock price fallen?" Xia Yu asked about another action target boss, and now we still have 7.8 million shares left in our hands. " "The stock price has fallen to around 232 yen per share." "The main reason for the slow decline is that Nomura Securities has temporarily stopped shipping, so we can only rely on us to suppress the stock price, and we have not let go." Matsumoto Yu answered in detail. Xia Yu immediately ordered: "The price of 232 yen per share is still too high." "Before I considered the need to bet against Nomura Securities, now that I have taken over the equity, it can be a shame." "Their equity is not sold, just to let them rot in their hands to prevent them from withdrawing too much money." "After the market opens in the afternoon, we will try our best to suppress the stock price. Don''t worry about losing money. We must create a panic atmosphere so that other retail investors and institutions will sell the best." "Are you sure?" "Guaranteed to complete the task!" This kind of task is not difficult, Matsumoto Yuu answered confidently with his head high. After that, the entire island branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. became operational at high speed. The layout of the entire plan has been completed, and it is time to launch a real attack on Nomura Securities! PS: The third one is here. I ask for a monthly ticket for the recommendation language at the end of the month and the beginning of the month. Thank you! In addition, starting reading and QQ bookstore can see the author of the book said that the annual gratitude feedback activity is warmed up, at least 500 kilograms of authentic Gannan navel oranges will be given away for free, and there are at least 50 red envelopes waiting for you, only for genuine Friends, I can¡¯t see the pirated end. The author said, genuine friends are welcome to participate (the word count is not charged) https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Reading URL of Zero Point Reading Mobile Version: v3 Chapter 1196: Whale hunters, bright sword! After the stock market opened in the afternoon, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was fully fired. The more than seven million shares still held in his hands were directly sold at a price of 200 yen per share. Such a huge amount of stock was thrown at such a low price, making all investors and institutions dumbfounded. At the same time, there was a circumstance in the exchange that Dayang Fishery''s financial report last year was not true. The actual loss was far more than 700 million yen. Some institutions have already learned of the situation, so they will sell the stock. There is more than one piece of this kind of news, and I don''t know where it came from, but they were all so well informed that people subconsciously want to believe it. If there is no such thing as an institution smashing and rushing to escape today, it will be fine. However, Jiuding Securities, Nomura Securities, one of the ten largest securities companies in the island country, and other institutions are rushing to sell stocks. All this seems to support the authenticity of these news. The panic took shape rapidly, followed by the rapid spread of fission. As long as one person believes, there will be a second and third person to believe. As long as one person takes action, others will blindly follow suit... For a time, investors rushed to flee. Although the holdings of these stockholders are not large, the victory lies in the large number. Everyone swarms to sell, and the price is lower than one. The trading situation of the stock of Ocean Fishery Company is chaotic. The telephones of many investment institutions rang. But Matsumoto Yu and others didn''t think it was messy enough, and after seizing the opportunity to withdraw the order, they immediately hung up again, and the price dropped another notch. This huge stock of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is like a ballast stone. As long as it is not wiped out, it has been holding down the stock price of Dayang Fishery Co., Ltd. If other stockholders and institutions want to escape smoothly, they can only match the buying order at the first time, and they can only list it at a lower selling price. 192.25 yen per share! 190.18 yen per share! ... 186.45 yen per share! ... The stock price of Dayang Fisheries Co., Ltd. has continued to decline, and the speed is quite fast. Many telephones in the island branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. never stopped ringing, but because there were orders, no one answered them. You don''t need to answer the call at this time to know the purpose. Not picking up is the best choice. Regardless, just cover your head and hit the plate! This afternoon, I don¡¯t know how many heads of agencies are screaming, especially Junping Hyuga and Yamakita from Nomura Securities. The two people are in a bad mood. They still have tens of millions of shares that have not been sold, but the stock price has fallen to this level. "President, are we waiting?" In the operating room of Nomura Securities Company, Yamakita asked Junpei Hyuga with ambition. Junping Hyuga coldly snorted, and decisively ordered: "Don''t wait, it''s impossible to make much money with this stock, just throw it all out and hit the market, and lower the stock price as much as possible!" Now you can sell as much as you can, even if the share is only a few yen more than when it fell to the lowest point, that''s okay, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat! It is better than not earning a yen in your hand. What''s more, the most important thing now is not to count on how much money these tens of millions of shares can make, but to maximize the profits of the 60 million shares that have been sold. The lower the stock price of Dayang Fisheries Co., Ltd., the lower the cost of bargaining, and the greater the profit! Therefore, it is the wisest choice to follow the smash at this time! "Yes!" Shan Beixiong immediately responded, and then vigorously went to give orders. Soon, the tens of millions of shares of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. were also unreserved, all of which were sold out at the price of 180 yen per share. These tens of millions of shares were sold at a single low price, and it was a shaking effect, and it was more powerful than Jiuding Securities. The stock price of Dayang Fishery Co., Ltd. was like the opening of a reservoir. The stock price of Dayang Fisheries has completely collapsed, and it can''t be stopped! In an emergency, no agency dared to take over. The Dayang Fisheries Company immediately rejected the rumors, and then held an internal board of directors and senior management meetings, hoping to mobilize funds to buy back stocks to stabilize the stock price. However, the Dayang Fisheries Company has had low profits or even losses for three consecutive years, and the company has not much liquidity. The existing funds are basically useful, and it is impossible to mobilize much funds to buy back in a short period of time. Therefore, I can only watch the company''s stock price plummet for the time being. Until that afternoon when the market was closed, Dayang Fishery''s stock price was fixed at 152.41 yen per share, a drop of more than 38 points that day, ranking first in the entire exchange! This kind of man-made smashing disaster, although simple and rude, is extremely effective when it successfully creates a panic of public opinion! In the evening, Matsumoto received a call from Junhei Hyuga, and the two temporarily abandoned the gap, and the partnership negotiated and decided to continue to work together the next day. After the market opened early the next morning, even though some institutions determined that the price could be bought after a whole night of analysis, they began to buy bottoms after the market opened. But when the two large selling orders of Nomura Securities and Jiuding Securities were sold out again, the sporadic buying orders were swept away, and yesterday''s panic struck again. The large and small sales orders are dazzling, and it only takes a blink of an eye to squeeze away the sales orders you just looked at. If someone counts, you will find that more than 60 million shares have been sold on the market, accounting for more than 10% of the total share capital of Ocean Fishery Company! Under this circumstance, if the stock price of Dayang Fisheries Company does not collapse, which other company''s stock price can collapse? When the market closed in the morning, the stock price fell to 122.45 yen per share. Compared with the stock price of 323.46 yen when Nomura Securities first shorted some time ago, in less than a month, the market value has evaporated by more than six stories, which is really scary. ! After the opening in the afternoon, the stock price continued to fall. When it fell below 110 yen per share, Jiuding Securities began to act. First of all, millions of shares of my own stock are still listed on the market, but the price of the pending sell order is not the highest. At the same time, many anonymous accounts began to place orders to buy stocks, also avoiding the huge sell order of Nomura Securities. At this time, Dayang Fishery''s stock price is still falling. The vast majority of stockholders and institutions believe that under this kind of market panic, the stock price will fall below 100 yen per share at the close of the afternoon. Therefore, the selling orders on the market are messy, and I don''t know when they were absorbed. Almost everyone''s attention was attracted by the sell orders placed by Nomura Securities and Jiuding Securities. How could one notice that many stocks have been bought in the chaos. By the end of the afternoon, except for the remaining 5.23 million shares held by Jiuding Securities, secretly all anonymous accounts bought 36.24 million shares, accounting for 6% of the total share capital of Dayang Fishery. Point seven! And the market closed does not mean the end, for Jiuding Securities, this is just the beginning! Groups attacked separately and went low-key to the various shareholders of Dayang Fisheries Company for the large amount of equity they still hold! The closing price of Dayang Fisheries this afternoon was 104.25 yen per share. The purchase price of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. reached an average of 120 yen per share ~ www.novelhall.com ~ not only did not reduce the price, but also purchased at a premium. Some shareholders and institutions readily agreed, and some more calm shareholders did not agree at the beginning, but after increasing the price, many shareholders still chose to accept it and get out of this quagmire. When I went to work the next morning, statistics found that, including the 5.23 million shares I originally held, he held 202.5 million shares of Ocean Fishery Company, accounting for 37.5% of the total equity of Ocean Fishery Company. ! In the evening, the news is not well delivered, and there is little time before the market opens in the morning. Therefore, when the market opened in the morning, Nomura Securities sold again and tried to continue to suppress the stock price. Other investors also followed suit. Dayang Fisheries Co., Ltd. has already mobilized part of the funds. After internal discussions, it was decided to buy back some shares after the market opened this morning. However, after the opening of the stock market, after seeing a large sell order, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. completely let go of its hands and handles and cleaned up the sell order. A buy order for up to 80 million shares at a price of 105 yen per share has continuously wiped out the sell orders on the market. The first one was Nomura Securities''s largest sell order. When everyone reacted, the selling orders on the market had been swept away, leaving only the buying orders of more than 50 million shares listed by Jiuding Securities Company hanging there alone! One second! Two seconds! Three seconds... Everyone seemed to be stunned, watching the huge buy order hanging there, and occasionally a sell order appeared, and it disappeared in an instant. Only the huge buy order slightly moved the number to prove that there had been a sell order. Over... PS: November has arrived. At the beginning of the month, I ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket. It''s too bad! Those who hear it are sad, those who see it weep! ~: ! November Genuine Book Friends Reward Event Notice Let¡¯s make a summary of last month, in four words-update sluggish! It''s really embarrassing. There are many reasons. Many book friends know what''s going on, so I don''t need to explain too much, but at any rate one hundred thousand words a month is stable. After changing the map, the follow-up order plummeted to less than 500, and I was heartbroken. I once again appeal to those friends who read pirated editions. For the sustainable development of this book, the genuine subscription is sunshine and fertilizer. After writing for so long, I still racked my brains to write the plot in a different way, without trying to fool everyone, all kinds of data and The information is also very rigorous, and everyone can gain knowledge and active thinking. I can say that there is absolutely no money for everyone, and it is more worthy of subscription than most of the authors'' books. I won¡¯t talk about QQ Bookstore. It¡¯s just the starting point for reading. Collect 108850 books. If you order, you can take an integer 500. The order ratio is only 217.7:1. Hey, vomiting blood. No wonder I have not recommended it. I changed to another author. The **** has already opened a new book. This is really the status quo of online literature. Many of my friends have collected about 10,000, and ordered three or four hundred. The order is more than tens to one, and they directly cut and opened new books. Just like me, more than two. The one-by-one has been insisting, just don''t want to pit friends who are still in genuine support, even if they are not many people, but I have to be worthy of them! I hope you can subscribe to support it a lot! The genuine end can watch easter eggs, communicate with the author and other book friends, is it not good? ... Then let''s talk about the event. Some old friends should have participated in an event last year. This year the author will also hold it. Lao Huang is a native of Gannan, Jiangxi, and his family also grows Gannan navel oranges, so this year he will also give back to genuine book friends. This year guarantees 50 boxes of authentic Gannan navel oranges, a box of 10 catties, a total of 500 catties, worth several thousand yuan, free Give it to everyone, and free shipping to your home. Whether you can get it depends on your luck. However, there are also thresholds for participating. Only the genuine subscription to the fan-level deacon (to verify the fan value screenshot) can participate. Why? The grade deacon means supporting the book for more than 50 yuan. If it is the starting point, after tax deduction, the manuscript fee for Lao Huang is 22.2 yuan. If it is QQ reading, after tax deduction, Lao Huang''s score is 11.1 yuan. And a box of authentic Gannan navel oranges (not referring to those counterfeit goods. Gannan navel oranges are the best quality navel oranges in the world. The brand value is the world''s first agricultural product, with a value of more than 67 billion. The output of navel oranges in Hubei, Guangxi and Yunnan add up far Surpassing Jiangxi Jiangxi, but people who are careful will find out that all the navel oranges sold on the market are called Gannan navel oranges? So, where are the other navel oranges? I''m scared to think about it?) If you buy it, it costs 60 or 70 yuan. , This means that 3 starting deacons, or 6 book city deacons, the value of the manuscript fee is about equal to a box of navel oranges. I also want to send a box of navel oranges to each person, but unfortunately I can¡¯t afford it. So I set a threshold to draw the lottery. All by luck. As for the pirated side? Forget it, don''t disturb! In addition, it is stated that the event will only be held in the Vixin v skirt, other skirts will not be held this year, including the QQ skirt, so if you want to participate, you can only come to the Vixin v skirt. There are two ways to add: The first one is to open the introduction page of the book. There is the QQ skirt number of the book. After searching and joining, there will be a newcomer announcement. There is Lao Huang''s Weixin on it. Add Lao Huang, and I will pull you in. The second is to add Lao Huang directly, and then send a screenshot of the fan rating for verification, the number hls¢Þ¢Ý¢ß¢ß¢Þ0¢Û¢Ù¢Ú (the first three are the lowercase initials of Huang Lao wet, followed by 9 numbers) The event should be divided into two. The first phase will start around November 15 and the second phase will be held in December when the navel oranges are more mature. We will inform you in advance to avoid missed by friends who raise books. Welcome everyone to participate! At the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass and a recommended ticket, Zhu Jun, please! Thank you for your support to Huang! Thanks! I wish everyone a happy life! Everything goes well! v3 Chapter 1197: Nomura Securities loses 1 game first "stupid!" "The purpose of Jiuding Securities is not to go short, but to buy bottom and go long!" At Nomura Securities Company, when Junping Hyuga rushed to the operation room, he looked at the purchase order hanging alone on the operation screen and listened to Shan Beixiong''s report, making him furious. With a flushed face, it was difficult to tell whether he was because of anger or shame. Perhaps, it should be the latter. Shan Beixiong lowered his head and didn''t dare to say anything. He didn''t even mention that the president had said that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and them had shared interests. "We don''t have a stock in our account now?" After trying to calm down, Junpei Hyuga asked Shan Beixiong. Shan Beixiong still lowered his head and reported in a low voice: "Yes, after all the stocks were listed just now, they were acquired in an instant." Junping Hyuga''s breathing became rapid again, his chest rising and falling rapidly like a mountain. He commanded in a tone that was still angry: "Immediately, participate in the rush to raise funds, and be sure to acquire 77.3 million shares!" "Yes!" Shan Beixiong subconsciously raised his head and responded, and then quickly ordered his subordinates to execute. Nomura Securities Co. borrowed 77.3 million shares of major institutions for short selling. This is to be repurchased and returned. Now Dayang Fisheries''s stock price has clearly begun to bottom out. Now if you don¡¯t rush to buy a sufficient number of stocks, when the stock price goes up, it is not only difficult to grab, but also expensive. The higher the stock price of Dayang Fisheries Co., Ltd. rises, it means that the expected profit margin will become smaller and smaller, and there may even be a large loss! Soon, Nomura Securities Co. placed multiple batches of buy orders at 106 yen per share. But just hang out for a while. The original purchase order for the huge amount of 105 yen issued by Jiuding Securities was withdrawn, and then a purchase order for 50 million shares was issued immediately at a price of 120 yen per share. The strong, overbearing, and provocative meaning of this behavior made the pure and ordinary Hyuga who watched all this look pale. This is hitting him in the face! Are you sure this is an acquisition? Rather than driving up prices maliciously? What exactly does Jiuding Securities want to do? ! "Fare increase, continue to increase!" Junping Hyuga gave the order angrily, and his subordinates immediately executed it. At the same time, Junping Hyuga immediately convened elites to analyze the next possible actions of Jiuding Securities. Soon, the stockholders and institutions in the Tokyo Stock Exchange were all dumbfounded, watching the stock price of Dayang Fisheries Company go up all the way. By the end of the afternoon, Dayang Fishery''s stock price had been fired to 162.44 yen per share. In one day, Dayang Fishery''s stock price is like riding a roller coaster. It''s a pity that today is already Friday, and the market will be closed for two days after the market closes in the afternoon. Jiuding Securities Company. At this time, the atmosphere in Xia Yu''s office was very warm. "Matsumoto, how much equity do we hold and how much capital do we invest?" Xia Yu asked Matsumoto Yu with a smile. Matsumoto replied respectfully: "Boss, all of our accounts hold a total of 227.96 million shares, accounting for 42.21% of the total share capital of Ocean Fishery." "Because they are all bargain hunters, the acquisition cost is very low, plus the loss of 324 million yen after the previous high price purchase, the total cost is 29.078 billion yen, and the cost of the single share acquisition is 127.56 yen. " "Papa..." Xia Yu took the lead in applauding, and the others followed. After the applause fell, Xia Yu told Matsumoto Yu: "Matsumoto Yu, Saturday and Sunday, let everyone move, and all the remaining shareholders will buy." "The stock price closed at 162.44 yen per share this afternoon. I give you the authority to double the highest premium. This price has exceeded the initial normal stock price of Ocean Fishery!" "My requirement is just one, to acquire as much equity as possible." "My bottom line is to increase our shareholding ratio to more than 50%. There will be no capping, understand?" "On the Monday three days later, shares must be disclosed to the exchange." Matsumoto Yu responded with a firm tone: "Understand, promise to complete the task!" "On the other hand, the shares of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. will continue to be borrowed. We will count as much as we can borrow in the past two days. After the stock market opens next Monday, we will continue to ship in an orderly manner." "Ok." ... Everything that happened to Dayang Fisheries was paid attention to by the financial media. At this time, fools knew that huge changes had taken place in it. When the spotlight shines on Dayang Fisheries, many things can''t be hidden. Not to mention, since Jiuding Securities has acquired so many shares, many actions are not hidden at all. Therefore, it soon came to light that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is acquiring stocks in Dayang Fisheries Co., Ltd. on a large scale. The news stimulated Junping Hyuga''s nerves. He did not hesitate to order people to join the ranks of acquisitions. Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. borrowed a total of 77.3 million shares of other institutions, accounting for 14.31% of the total share capital. Without Jiuding Securities'' bottom-hunting, they could have bought so many stocks in the stock market. But now that most of the outstanding shares have been emptied by Jiuding Securities, it is no longer possible to acquire so many shares from the stock market. Direct acquisition from shareholders is the best way. If the action is late and you can''t get enough stocks, you will be in trouble! With the initiative in the hands of other institutions, if Nomura Securities cannot repay the stocks, it will have to hemorrhage to terminate the agreement, which is equivalent to buying stocks at a high price. The intervention of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. caused a lot of obstacles to Jiuding Securities'' stock acquisition. However, Xia Yu had already considered this point, so he authorized Matsumoto Yu to buy at a premium of double the price based on Friday''s closing price. This price is a bit higher than the price of Nomura Securities Co.''s stock after gambling. If you follow this maximum price, Nomura Securities will lose 30 yen if it buys one share. The more you buy, the more you lose. Do you do or not do business that is at a loss? Therefore, in the process of scramble, Nomura Securities Co. was completely disadvantaged. A penny of equity was acquired by Jiuding Securities. By Sunday, Junping became aggressive, regardless of the cost of the acquisition, but by then Jiuding Securities had already completed Xia Yu''s minimum target. In this case, since the acquisition cannot be made, it will make trouble and maliciously raise the price, so that Nomura Securities will not be able to buy it, and shareholders who want to be fishermen cannot sell it temporarily. The weekend is fleeting. In a blink of an eye is a new week! "Boss, this weekend, we acquired another 104.49 million shares, which accounted for 19.35% of the total share capital. Among them, after learning about our shareholding, the shareholding was 9.42%. The largest shareholder directly withdrew and sold the equity to us." "Our average purchase price for this batch of shares is 276.45 yen per share, which cost a total of 28.886 billion yen." "At present, we hold 61.56% of the shares of Ocean Fisheries Corporation." After Xia Yu arrived, Matsumoto Yu reported the latest results vigorously. "it is good!" "Good job!" "While the stock market has not yet opened, UU Reading will immediately go to the exchange to disclose its shareholding!" After Xia Yu praised Matsumoto Yu, he decisively gave orders. "Yes!" Soon, when the Tokyo Stock Exchange was full of people waiting for the stock market to open, A news is like a depth bomb, shocking everyone. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced that it holds 61.56% of the equity of Dayang Fishery Co., Ltd., and has officially become the largest shareholder of Dayang Fishery Co., Ltd.! As soon as the news spread, there was an uproar. After receiving a report from his subordinates, Junping Hyuga, who was in an emergency meeting to arrange work, shouted angrily and threw all his teacups! PS: Second, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation at the beginning of the month. Brothers who have not joined the group, hurry up, once a year, don''t miss it! v3 Chapter 1198: Hold its head and force it to eat! Seeing Junping Hyuga''s anger, everyone in the entire conference room was silent, and the atmosphere didn''t dare to breathe, for fear that it would catch fire. But some people are destined to hide it! Take Shan Beixiong who is directly responsible for this matter. When he noticed that the president''s gaze shifted to him, Shanbei''s ambitions tightened. Then I heard Junhei Hyuga''s question. "Where is Dayang Fishery''s stock acquisition progress, and how far is it?" This meeting was about to talk about this. Shan Beixiong was already prepared, but because the results were not available, he had to take vaccinations in advance, and lowered his head to explain: "President, our acquisition is better than Jiuding Securities Take a step slower, so on Saturday there is basically no result. On Sunday, Jiuding Securities has been maliciously raising the price, which has caused a great obstacle to our acquisition. Therefore..." "Don''t talk nonsense, I want results!" Junping, who is in a bad mood, is in the mood to listen to these empty-headed words. He didn''t show any face to his powerful confidant, and shouted with a cold face. "Yes!" Shan Beixiong was taken aback and said directly: "At present, we have acquired a total of 24.05 million shares, accounting for 4.58% of the company''s total share capital. The total acquisition cost is 7.893 billion yen, and the average purchase price of a single share is 328.2. JPY." "It is 53.25 million shares short of the set acquisition target." The results of this acquisition were very poor. From Junping Hyuga''s face getting colder, I can see that Shan Beixiong didn''t dare to look at Junping Hyuga at all. Although he also has difficulties, but as the leader''s confidant, he failed to do a good job and disappointed the leader. It was his fault. Junpei Hyuga''s breathing was a little short, but he managed to endure it anyway. He didn''t say anything else, and directly ordered Shan Beixiong: "You don''t need to have a meeting. Before the stock market opens, go to schedule work immediately. After the market opens, grab stocks from the stock market, go!" "Yes!" Shanbeixiong got up immediately, responded respectfully, and hurriedly left the meeting room. After him, Junping Hyuga continued to have meetings, but he was in a bad mood and had no thoughts for the meeting, and the week-long regular meeting ended hastily. ... It took only four or five days for Jiuding Securities to acquire 61.56% of the equity from the beginning of the bottom hunt, and it has not yet reached the time limit for equity disclosure stipulated by the Island Securities Regulatory Commission. There is only one purpose of disclosing equity holdings before the market opens, and that is to raise the stock price. Although he did not obtain an absolute controlling stake, this shareholding ratio is temporarily sufficient for Xia Yu, and it will not be too late to complete this goal later. At present, the most important thing is to consume the liquidity of Nomura Securities Company and make losses to Nomura Securities Company. In the past, Nomura Securities Co. gambled to short the Ocean Fishery Company. Excluding part of it was sold at low prices, more than 60 million shares were sold at relatively high prices. Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. received nearly 20 billion yen. Funds, Xia Yu''s goal is this money. He even asked Nomura Securities to post it upside down. After the shareholding was disclosed, the news spread immediately, and the remaining investors and institutions with firm positions were overjoyed and fortunately bet on the right. Sure enough, after the opening of the stock market, Dayang Fishery''s stock jumped immediately after the opening. It was 162.44 yen per share when the market closed last Friday. It opened higher on Monday and jumped to 186 yen per share. A series of buying orders followed, pushing the stock price of Ocean Fishery continuously upward. Retail investors who hold stocks have been yelling "rising, rising" with excitement! The atmosphere in the stock market is very warm! At this time, no retail investors and institutions are willing to sell. As long as you are not stupid, you know that the price has not reached its peak. You must know that when the stock price of Dayang Fishery Company was normal before, it was as high as more than 300 yen per share. Now Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will definitely regain its lost ground after its strong acquisition. Therefore, in the thinking of many stockholders and institutions, the stock price has not reached 300 yen per share, and it will never be sold. They do not believe that the stock price will plummet again! The key is how long it will take for the stock price of Dayang Fisheries to return to its peak! Is it two days? one day? Or is it shorter? This kind of unknown mystery and sense of expectation has made many people excited! Reality is always full of surprises! What everyone did not expect was that just two minutes after the opening of the market, a purchase order for 50 million shares was listed at a price of 330 yen per share, directly increasing the purchase price by more than 100 yen per share! And it is Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. who placed the buy order! The paying order was put out, and the audience who had been paying attention to the stock price of Ocean Fishery were all suppressed. But some people still reflected. This price has exceeded the previous peak of the stock price of Ocean Fisheries. Hurry up! Some investors and institutions were not greedy, and started to take action and sold the stocks they held. The number of buy orders for 50 million shares began to decline. A sum of money flowed from the account of Jiuding Securities Company. Of course, there are still many people who have not been stunned by this unexpected surprise, but have stimulated a higher desire to try to see if the stock price can reach higher. After all, the stock market has just opened, and Jiuding Securities has placed orders for up to 50 million shares. Such aggressive buying orders, which have been rare in the past year, will not be eliminated in a short while. I wonder if Nomura Securities Co. has the guts to raise prices again? As for the operation room of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd., the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Faced with this outrageous buy order from Jiuding Securities, the traders didn''t know what to do, and they focused on Shan Beixiong and Junping Hyuga. "President, shall we continue to increase the price to buy?" Shan Beixiong looked at Junhei Hyuga with a look of embarrassment, and did not dare to make any decisions. At that time, when he was shorting the gambling, the average price of the 77.3 million shares borrowed was 323.46 yen per share. Now Jiuding Securities has placed a buy order at a higher price than when they borrowed the shares. Considering that the stock price is lower at the time of sale, this means that the more you buy the land, the more you lose. The room for loss is the average buying price minus the average selling price. The current price is higher than the stock price when they rushed to buy on Sunday! It''s stuck! Chunping Hyuga''s mouthful of blood was about to squirt out, and only felt that the sale order was unusually dazzling. Just thinking about the shortfall of 53.25 million shares, he had to swallow no matter how unwilling he was. For a long time, he struggled to pop a few words from his teeth: "Buy at a higher price!" Shan Beixiong immediately responded, "Yes!" Then, Shanbeixiong immediately issued an order to make a single purchase order at a stock price of 330.5 yen per share, with a total of tens of millions of shares. After the listing, Shan Beixiong and Junping Hyuga looked nervously at the electronic disk, more specifically at the huge buy order from Jiuding Securities. For a while, the operating room was quiet, and the sound of the clock hand beating on the wall seemed very loud, as if it matched the heartbeat of a person. Boom! Boom! Boom! Five seconds passed. Ten seconds passed. Seeing that the purchase order from Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. remained untouched, and the purchase order placed by oneself began to continue to be completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously watched the two leaders Junping Hyuga and Yamakita. "At this price, make up for the purchase in time!" Shan Beixiong shouted orders to everyone. ... On the exchange , seeing that Jiuding Securities does not plan to bid any more, many investors and institutions who still hold extravagant hopes could not help being disappointed. However, they also recognized the reality. This price is the previous normal price, which is in line with the value of Dayang Fishery, and it is also the price that Jiuding Securities hopes. No need to wait! Accept it when you see it! Sell ??it! In this state of mind, more and more sell orders were placed, and the price was exactly 330.5 yen per share. Smaller mosquito legs are meat, wouldn¡¯t it be better to have more than 0.5 yen per share? On the other side, in Jiuding Securities Company. Xia Yu watched this scene with a smile on his face. This time I stabbed Nomura Securities and released a lot of blood, but it was not enough. It''s time to make a second stabbing as soon as possible... PS: First, ask for a monthly pass! v3 Chapter 1199: OPEC zooms in! "How is the situation with Kosi Industry?" After calling Matsumoto Yu and others back to the office, Xia Yu asked about another target. "Boss, we borrowed 52,556,800 shares of Kosi Industrial Co., Ltd., and sold 26.25 million shares last Monday." "Because of the relatively large number of sales, the stock price has some slight fluctuations, the average selling price is 1356.25 yen, and the funds returned are 35.601 billion yen." Matsumoto Yu reported the situation to Xia Yu respectfully. "What is the average daily turnover in the stock market?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked. Matsumoto immediately replied: "Boss, the stock turnover rate of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. is relatively high. Last week''s turnover rate fluctuated about 17%." "We sold about 21% of the turnover." Xia Yu suddenly understood. This ratio is also good. After Xia Yu pondered for a while, he instructed Matsumoto Yu: "In this case, don''t borrow any more. The remaining 20 million shares must be emptied this week!" "Yes!" Matsumoto Yu answered with his head down. ... The stock price of Dayang Fisheries is so high that stockholders and institutions are naturally very motivated to sell shares. Nomura Securities¡¯ shortfall of 53.25 million shares was emptied that afternoon. After buying enough stocks, Nomura Securities Co. stopped buying. After all, with such a high stock price, they don''t have much money to spend. They have to spend it here. It is worth mentioning that after Nomura Securities Company stopped the acquisition, Jiuding Securities Company withdrew the huge purchase order. Suddenly, Dayang Fishery''s stock price fell from 330 yen per share to about 310 yen per share. Shan Beixiong and others are about to vomit blood. They can only look out of sight and out of mind. In order to acquire the 53.25 million shares, Nomura Securities Company spent 17.6 billion yen. Add 7.893 billion yen to buy stocks on weekends. In order to buy back and intervene in the same amount of 77.3 million shares during gambling, Nomura Securities spent a total of 25.493 billion yen. The previously borrowed stocks, because the shipment plan was disrupted, and the tens of millions of shares were pitted at ultra-low prices, resulting in the withdrawal of funds much less than expected, and only 20.752 billion yen was returned. With such a reduction, Nomura Securities lost 4.741 billion yen in shorting Ocean Fisheries! This is equivalent to 11.7% of last year''s net profit! Not to mention the human and financial resources expended for this and other delayed investments. Not only that, originally Nomura Securities did not intend to repay the stocks so quickly to end the gambling, so more than 10 billion yen of the funds shipped before have been used elsewhere. Suddenly repurchasing the stocks of Ocean Fishery Co. cost a lot of money. , Resulting in a lot less company''s liquidity. It can be said that Nomura Securities Company suffered heavy losses! This is definitely a shame for Junping Hyuga, who led the rise of Nomura Securities to create glory! Moreover, Wells Fargo is still short-selling their company on a large scale. Although I don''t know where the stock is going, there is definitely a conspiracy. I originally planned to make the first quarter''s financial report more eye-catching, but this loss alone will wipe out a large part of the income. It is now mid-March, and the first quarter is about to end. It is difficult to find excellent investment opportunities again. So the company''s share price decline is inevitable. Thinking of this, Junping Dayxiang felt depressed. Jiuding Securities was naturally listed by him as the first hostile target. Thinking that Jiuding Securities had borrowed 23,538,600 shares of the island''s xiaosi industrial company from their company last week, he felt uneasy, and there must be a conspiracy in it! "No, you have to investigate the situation immediately and mobilize funds. Since Jiuding Securities dares to short sell so aggressively, there must be a problem!" After thinking about it, he immediately called his subordinates to discuss countermeasures. ... When the undercurrent was surging on the island country, another major event that affected the global economy occurred internationally. On March 17, OPEC lowered its oil price for the first time in its history, lowering its oil export price to $29 a barrel, and increasing its daily output by 800,000 barrels! Once the news was announced, it spread all over the world in an instant, and the capital market was shaken. This news is definitely bad! You know, since the establishment of OPEC in 1960, the export price of crude oil has risen from a few dollars a barrel to 39 dollars a barrel at its peak, so there is no need to lower oil prices. Excessive oil prices have also led to a significant increase in the costs of many industries, hindering the development of the world economy in the eyes, and making it difficult for countries such as Europe and the United States to climb out of the economic quagmire. Now OPEC has lowered oil prices for the first time in its history. Unknown people around the world cheered for it, and the capital market suddenly became active. Of course, OPEC lowered the price of oil exports, and the reason and purpose of increasing oil production were quickly analyzed. The key lies in Latin America''s sovereign debt. In 1960, OPEC was established by five countries including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Venezuela. Among the five countries, except Venezuela in Latin America, the other four countries are in the Middle East. Then over the past two decades, five countries including Libya, the UAE, Algeria, Nigeria and Gabon have joined, increasing the number of OPEC members to ten. But looking at these ten member states, five are in the Middle East, four in Africa, and one in Latin America. The right to speak is actually in the Middle East. The sovereign debt crisis in Latin America has led to economic chaos in Latin America and other oil-producing countries, and the unrest within the country has continued to cause oil production to be greatly affected. It is for this reason that oil prices, which had been declining since the second oil crisis, began to fluctuate at a high level at the end of last year. The market demand is there. The local tyrants in the Middle East want to expand their market share and increase the Middle East¡¯s control over the global oil sector, and strengthen their influence on countries around the world through the petro-dollar system. Only then did OPEC make a decision to lower oil prices. , And increase oil production. It can be said that OPEC is stabbing a knife in Latin America and other countries that are trying to recover their economies. Venezuela, the only member of Latin America, cannot stop it. What''s more, Venezuela has also shared some of the benefits, and it can get out of the crisis as soon as possible. What does it matter to other people in Latin America? In Latin America and other countries and European and American oil companies gritted their teeth. Countless funds poured into major financial markets. However, the stock markets of various countries have risen sharply, but the international crude oil futures market has fallen sharply. Large sums of money poured into short oil futures. The original shorts also realized that the opportunity had come and seized the opportunity to make large-scale replenishment to suppress prices. In this case, there is no institution to join the bulls, but the longs and shorts are completely out of balance. The price of light crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange plummeted. Just less than two minutes after the opening, the price of crude oil futures plummeted from the price of US$29.99 per barrel to the price of US$29.17 per barrel. The bulls suffered heavy losses! PS: The second one will be sent, ask for a recommended monthly pass, and thanks to the time V Xiaoer, the book has added a new leader, Sahhua Sahhua v3 Chapter 1200: The net profit is more than 500 million US dollars! Soon, New York light crude oil futures quickly broke through the price of 29 US dollars per barrel and continued to fall. In theory, the price of futures is higher than the price of spot. Because futures price = spot price + related expenses. These related expenses include storage fees, management fees, interest on capital occupation and so on. Therefore, the futures price should be higher than the spot price, and the price of crude oil futures should not fall below $29 a barrel. But there is no absoluteness, the theory is only the theory after all. What''s more, oil futures are very different from other commodities. It is normal that futures prices and OPEC prices are sometimes separated. After all, although OPEC occupies an absolute leading position in the international oil market, and even rides on the heads of European and American countries, this does not mean that OPEC''s prices are 100% guiding. In later generations, the separation of oil futures prices and oil spot prices is a frequent matter. At this time, OPEC lowered oil prices and announced an increase in production, which violated the interests of oil-producing countries such as Latin America. But I don¡¯t want to think about it. Now Latin America and other oil-producing countries are barefoot and heavily in debt. They can only rely on exporting oil and minerals to increase their income. In order to survive, it¡¯s better to be cheaper than not to sell, right? Therefore, most institutions have judged that OPEC''s reduction of oil prices will only force non-OPEC oil-producing countries in Latin America except Venezuela to lower their prices! Although Latin America and other countries have not yet reacted to it, this general trend is certain! In order to eliminate debts, European and American countries will also give priority to buying oil from debtor countries such as Latin America. Therefore, the price of a futures contract of $29 a barrel is not the bottom line at all! The major shorts seized the opportunity, suppressed the price on a large scale, and tried to blow up the long positions! According to a margin rate of 5%, many long positions are opened at a price of more than 30 US dollars a barrel. As long as the price is lower than 28.5 US dollars a barrel, most long positions will have to liquidate their positions, even to make up the margin. Time is too late! ... "Quickly, quickly close the position!" The New York branch of Nomura Securities Co., the atmosphere is extremely tense at this time, especially the department responsible for direct operation of oil futures, all of them are on fire. Even Shuren Ishikawa, president of Nomura Securities'' New York branch, personally took command. After all, at the beginning, Nomura Securities only invested US$100 million in margin to do long oil futures. However, the short-sales power greatly increased afterwards. Nomura Securities invested another US$50 million to cover long positions at US$29.96. Therefore, Nomura Securities has invested 150 million U.S. dollars in capital, which has been scaled up to 3 billion U.S. dollars to operate. After OPEC announced a reduction in oil prices, losses were doomed, and Ishikawa Shuren''s goal was to hope that the losses could be smaller. But who knew that the short offensive was so fierce that the price fell below $29 in just over two minutes after the opening. Moreover, there are still a steady stream of low-price sell orders in the market, and the prices are lower than one, but there is no institution to buy! Obviously, the price has not fallen to the psychological level of the institution that wants to buy bottoms, and there is no time to enter the market. But Nomura Securities can''t wait! Seeing that the price quickly dropped to 28.75 US dollars a barrel, Ishikawa Shuren''s muscles were tight, and his whole body became tense! Because the first batch of US$2 billion worth of contracts bought before was opened at the position of a barrel of US$30.18. If you have been unable to lighten your position and wait until the price drops to 28.68 US dollars a barrel, then the 100 million US dollars margin will be equal to the floating loss! Once it falls to 28.67 US dollars a barrel, the floating loss will be greater than the margin amount, and the position will be liquidated! And for the second time to open a position at 29.96 US dollars a barrel to buy a billion-dollar contract, the liquidation line is 28.47 US dollars a barrel, once it drops another 0.01 US dollars a barrel, the position will also be liquidated! But now, there is no single-handed sale of oil futures contracts totaling US$3 billion! It''s all still in hand! "President, the funds have been mobilized, do you want to make up the deposit immediately?" At this moment, Kaede Kojima, manager of the oil futures operations department, hurriedly came to Ishikawa Shuren and quickly reported. Shuren Ishikawa''s eyes were round and bloodshot, and his eyes were fixed on the curve. $28.73! $28.71! The downward momentum is still rapid! Ishikawa Shuren shook his head abruptly and made a difficult but wise decision. He said in a hoarse voice: "If you don''t make up, let it blow up!" Kojima Feng clenched his fist tightly, then let it go, replying with a heavy heart: "Yes!" In fact, at this point, it will be useless to make up the margin or not. The position has never been closed. Even if the position is liquidated and the position is forcibly closed by the exchange, it may still not be closed, so why bother to make up the margin? Let the exchanges force them to liquidate their positions. At least they may escape first and sell them at a higher price. In this way, after losing the margin, they will have to make up less funds. It is better to keep the funds in your hands first, at least you can have more initiative, the two billion US dollars of contract can not be saved, no need to struggle. A few seconds later, the price fell to 28.67 US dollars a barrel, and the floating loss was greater than 100 million US dollars of the margin, which instantly triggered the exchange''s mechanism and the exchange forced the liquidation! And this is not the end! The price of New York light crude oil futures continues to drop, making Ishikawa Shuren''s nerves tighten. But at this time, he felt very weak. In the face of this general trend, he can''t do much at all. What he can do the most, maybe just pray. Pray that the price will not exceed 28.47 US dollars a barrel, otherwise the other billion US dollars of contracts will also be liquidated. But sometimes, the more you don''t want something to happen, the more it will happen. During the high volatility period some time ago, although there were many changes, no matter whether it was long or short, the profit margin would not be too large. Even because of the large fluctuation range, the profit earned in the front had to be vomited out later. So no matter whether it is short or long, the profit is not big. It''s rare that this time fits the sky, with OPEC assists, and the bears don''t try their best to grab the benefits? Therefore Sixteen minutes after the opening of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the price of New York light crude oil futures fell below 28.46 US dollars a barrel, and Nomura Securities once again sold out! And futures prices continue to fall! Ishikawa Shuren was desperate, but after all he fell below! When someone is worried, others are happy. The Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund are naturally happy parties. When the price of New York light crude oil futures fell to $28.14 a barrel, the two funds opened positions to buy futures contracts to hedge their previous short positions. The two funds together hold more than US$8 billion in futures contracts, both of which opened short positions at a barrel of US$30.15. Now I opened a position to buy at a price of $28.14 a barrel, and soon bought a large number of sell orders. After buying the same amount of futures contracts, the two funds made a total profit of 533,33 million US dollars! As for Nomura Securities, although the first batch of contracts bought at a cost of US$2 billion broke out at a price of US$28.67 a barrel, the second batch of contracts bought at a price of US$28.46 a barrel broke out at a price of US$1 billion. But he just kept lowering the price and was only sold when Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund bought. Therefore, in addition to losing the margin, Nomura Securities has to increase the compensation, otherwise it will cancel the futures seat and there will be other troubles. Adding to the back-paid losses, Nomura Securities has a cumulative loss of US$195.94 million! It can be more than one-tenth of the total assets of Nomura Securities'' U.S. branch! Ishikawa Shuren immediately covered the lid, for fear that this news would be exposed and cause huge trouble to the company! PS: There is a social gathering today, and I drank it in a silly way and started a chapter of the spirit. After checking it several times, the logic should be correct. Everyone should rest early! v3 Chapter 1201: The third thunder also exploded! Ishikawa Shuren covers the lid, just deceiving himself and others. The company account is used to buy and sell, and it can be found on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The exchange itself knows these things best. Although the exchange itself will not disclose these things to the outside world, it also has a confidentiality agreement, but as long as someone who is interested in it, it can definitely be found. Even as long as there is sufficient relationship, it is a matter of the chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange, that accurate information can be obtained. Not long after the New York branch of Nomura Securities closed the position, the news was obtained by secret people, and then spread to the island nation of Tokyo as soon as possible. By the morning Tokyo time, Xia Yu got the news after getting up. "The loss was 195.94 million U.S. dollars, more than expected." "The loss of Nomura Securities in the Ocean Fishery Company project is 20 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about one-tenth of this project, ha ha!" Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn''t help shaking his head. "However, how can a company''s stock market compare to that of oil futures? It is very precious to be able to make it lose 20 million US dollars!" "It''s been a month, it''s time to give Nomura Securities another cut..." After eating breakfast, Xia Yu made a call to the U.S. side through a satellite encrypted phone and asked the other side to do it on Saturday. The reason for choosing Saturday is to clear out the shares of Kosi Industry Co. It was Friday afternoon in a blink of an eye. Xia Yu was discussing with Wang Qi in the office, or he was giving guidance to Wang Qi. Wang Qi listened very carefully. At this moment, Matsumoto Yu knocked on the door and came in, and the two temporarily suspended teaching. "Boss, all the shares of Xiaosi Industrial Company have been cleared. This is the statistics of this week and last week!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Good job, sit down first!" After all, Xia Yu picked up the statistics presented to him and looked at it. Last week, a total of 26.25 million shares were sold, with an average selling price of 1356.25 yen per share, and 35.601 billion yen of funds returned from circulation. And this week, due to large-scale sales, the stock price of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. has fallen a bit. For the remaining 26,306,800 shares, the average selling price was 1,348.37 yen per share, and the return of funds was 35,471.3 million yen. The two times together, a total of 71 billion 72.3 million yen was returned. It is equivalent to institutions including Nomura Securities Co., which borrowed more than 70 billion yen for Jiuding Securities. "Very good, it can relax the people below for a few days." After putting down the statistics, Xia Yu said with a smile. Matsumoto sighed in relief and smiled, nodding in response: "Yes!" ... Island time is 14 hours ahead of US time. At three o''clock in the afternoon on Friday, US time, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a notice to the public that during the quality inspection of aircrafts operated by American Airlines, it was found that the safety and quality of some aircraft seats of many airlines did not meet the standards. Among them, the number of problem seats produced by the island country Kosi Industrial Company is the largest. Twelve kinds of seats have insufficient fire resistance coefficient, and 21 kinds of seats have insufficient strength, which poses huge safety risks. The FAA has provided feedback on the situation to the US Department of Commerce. The US Department of Commerce announced for the first time that it would intervene in the investigation of the island nation''s Kosi Industries Corporation''s trade with the United States, and announced the temporary seizure of the island nation''s Kosi Industries Corporation''s US branch and some of its warehouses. The news spread back to the island country at an extremely fast speed. The island country was still dark at this time, and Kojiro Kyomoto was still asleep, and was awakened by the rapid ringing of the phone. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he instantly became sober and hurried to get dressed and rushed to the company. Less than seven in the morning. At the headquarters of Kosi Industrial Company in Yokohama, the island country, Kojiro Kojiro and a group of executives all focused, and everyone was full of anxiety in the conference room. Of course, there are also special existences, such as Yasuo Tanaka who is in charge of production and research and development with his head down and dare not say anything. There is a problem with the safety and quality of the aircraft seat. As the head of the department, he bears an unshirkable responsibility. Because of his department, the company fell into a huge crisis. The U.S. Department of Commerce intervened in the investigation, and the company had to peel off even if it died, not to mention the negative impact of this crisis. All orders received now will be returned, and customers will be sued for compensation. Thinking of all this, Tanaka felt like suffocating. He wants to be an ostrich, but in this conference room, almost no one can escape from his high sense of existence. Sure enough, he immediately ushered in the monstrous anger of the president Kojiro Kyomoto: "Tanaka Yasuno, because of your malfeasance, now the company has encountered the biggest crisis in history, and the company will be famous all over the world..." The entire conference room was quiet for a moment, and everyone did not dare to gasp, and all bowed their heads, but the rest of the room was watching Yasuo Tanaka, who kept bowing tremblingly and confessing his mistakes. After venting his anger, Kojiro Kojiro calmed down a bit, and he snorted coldly, "Tanaka Yasuno, your punishment will be temporarily postponed, and then we will fully cooperate with the company to deal with it!" "Yes!" Tanaka Yasuo once again responded with a solemn promise. "The FAA investigation must have spent a lot of time, but we have never received any news. This is worthy of our reflection. From now on, we must pay attention to the relationship with the civil aviation departments of various countries." "Now that the U.S. Department of Commerce has intervened in the investigation, we must fully cooperate, and at the same time, find ways to reduce the impact and reduce the punishment. The public relations in this are extremely difficult. I will apply for help from the government, and our company must also actively respond..." After the meeting, Jingyuan Kojiro immediately went to the island government to apply for help from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In front of the U.S. government, the island country Xiaosi Industry Company is an ant in front of an elephant, which can easily be trampled to death. Although Kosi Industries will also find ways to save itself, the most important thing is to see whether the island government is willing to communicate with the US Department of Commerce. The source of the storm, Kosi Industry Co., was too far. Junping Hyuga was still eating breakfast, and received an emergency report from his subordinates. The whole person was dumbfounded, and then he yelled at him, and Kyogen Kojiro was the one who scolded the most. The **** also assured him that the company is okay I didn''t expect such a big crisis to break out soon. Although the stock market of the island country is not open because it is Saturday, Junping Hyuga has already seen the avalanche of Kosi Industry''s stock price. Thinking that his company had invested 30 billion yen to buy stocks and lent them all to Jiuding Securities Co., they had been locked up, Junping Hyuga felt a pain in his chest with anger. Jiuding Securities must have known the news early, so it hurriedly shorted their company! I''ve been recruited again! Matsumoto Yu''s conscience is greatly broken! Where is Junping Himu in the mood for breakfast, he drank the milk in a hurry, then picked up his coat and hurried to the company... PS: First, please ask for votes, thank you! Please remember the domain name of the book¡¯s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1202: U.S. Department of Commerce fires The latest website: The news from the United States across the ocean has caused a large number of people in the island country to be enveloped in anxiety and anxiety this weekend. Whether stock holding institutions or retail investors, they are extremely pessimistic about this. Especially on Saturday night and Sunday morning, a large number of newspapers reported on the matter in detail, and the whole island country was raging. After all, this is a very rare typical event in recent years. The US Department of Commerce filed an investigation into a large island company. It is impossible for islanders with complex mentalities in this era to pay attention to this matter. Many newspapers have also analyzed what the US Department of Commerce will do this time, what will be the result, and what will be the result of Kosi Industries? These unknowns have aggravated the anxiety of investors and institutions. After all, the unknown is the most frightening! However, unlike the island countries, the United States is notoriously heavy in penalties for commodities! In the past, the fines issued to both domestic and foreign companies in the United States are proof that there is no maximum, only higher! By Monday, the Tokyo Stock Exchange was crowded and crowded more than ever. After many newspaper reporters entered with their cameras on their shoulders, it was obvious that many investors were full of worries. As long as they went for interviews, they were all investors who held shares of the island''s Kosi Industrial Company. Soon, the stock market opened. The stockholders and institutions that were already ready immediately sold the shares of the island country Kosi Industry Co. at a low price. Kosi Industry''s stock price dropped sharply at the opening, directly at 1,268.45 yen per share. Compared with the closing price of 1,341.39 yen per share last Friday, the opening fell by 5.4 points! And this is just the beginning. How could the panic of public opinion over the weekend be resolved by a drop of five or four points? 1254.89 yen per share! 1,238.14 yen per share! 1229.33 yen per share! ... There is no ups and downs in the stock price of Kosi Industries, because there are only ups and downs... Under this circumstance, despite the flood of selling orders in the market, there are still no institutions and retail investors who dare to buy. Before this matter has a result, the risk will be immeasurably high! ... "Boss, many institutions that bet against us have actively begged us, hoping to end the betting agreement early. They don''t want stocks, and the stocks are discounted to us!" In Xia Yu''s office, Yu Matsumoto told Xia Yu about the situation with joy. From yesterday to this morning, his personal landline or office landline has been ringing, and it was the presidents of those organizations who called him personally and begged him kindly. But how could Yu Matsumoto agree, let alone whether he is so stupid, the most important thing is that he has no power at all, and the boss has the greatest will. Xia Yu raised Erlang''s legs and asked with interest: "How much are they willing to discount?" Matsumoto thought for a moment and replied: "The first offer is different, the highest is 1,300 yen per share, and the lowest is around 1,100 yen per share." Wang Qi, who listened quietly, couldn''t help but spit out: "The lowest price is not sincere. Even if it can be discussed, it is estimated that it will be about 1,000 yen." "They still don''t recognize the situation." Xia Yu laughed and said: "Wang Qi, they can recognize this situation, isn''t it just slapped me in the face!" Wang Qi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Now the fire is not booming enough, they still have a fluke, and they have to let their American father let them recognize reality and dispel their fantasy!" Xia Yu smiled, and Feng Qingyun said lightly. Matsumoto Yu, a native of the island country, heard Xia Yu''s words, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if he was not a native of the island country. "Keep watching the show!" "Coming out soon!" Finally, Xia Yu summarized in two simple sentences. ... At the close that afternoon, Kosi Industry''s stock price had fallen to 1,134.58 yen per share. The drop reached 15.4% that day! The market value has evaporated 72.3 billion 3.5 million yen! At 10:00 am on Monday, New York time, the U.S. Department of Commerce held a temporary press conference on this issue that aroused public concern, and disclosed the situation of the island country''s small silk industry company''s investigation. On Saturday and Sunday, the Department of Commerce invited professionals to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the problematic products listed by the FAA and confirmed that all these products were unqualified. The products sampled in the warehouse of the island country Xiaosi Industrial Company are also not up to standard. The Ministry of Commerce has temporarily sealed these products and imposed travel restrictions on related personnel. Faced with sharp questions from reporters from the "USA Today" newspaper, the US Department of Commerce responded positively. It will assess the adverse effects and hazards caused by these products, and will impose severe penalties on the island country Kosi Industry Co., and will cautiously issue Ticket! As for the amount of fines, faced with excited questions from reporters, the spokesperson of the US Department of Commerce did not give a specific data, claiming that it would be determined after rigorous evaluation. However, he released a sentence, making all the reporters present at that time as if they had taken stimulants. "The lives of the American people are supreme. Any company that causes harm to society will be punished or even fined to go bankrupt! This kind of unaccountable company should not exist! It is better to send it to the garbage dump!" This sentence is not too important! It''s so amazing! However, the reporters from the island country and the people from the island country Xiaosi Industry Company were pale, especially the people from the island country Xiaosi Industry Company, as if the sky had fallen. On that day, as long as the media reported the news, they put the words of the spokesperson of the US Department of Commerce in the most conspicuous position. The news soon reached the island country. After Kojiro got the news, he only felt that his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted, and his entire manpower seemed to have been emptied. When the U.S. Department of Commerce released this statement, it was doomed to face a fine for the island nation''s Xiaosi Industry Corporation. The initiative has been entirely on the US Department of Commerce, and it is entirely up to them to decide how big the ticket is. As for the so-called rigorous assessment of adverse effects and hazards, who knows how to assess it? What is the evaluation result? It is nothing more than a piece of data. The American father said yes. Does the island government dare to question it? The only chance of life now is to do a good job of public relations before the US Department of Commerce issues a fine to see if the fine can be reduced, so that it will not lead to bankruptcy! But judging from the positive and hard-line attitude of the US Department of Commerce this time, the difficulty of public relations is as difficult as it can be! Kojiro received the words from the island government, the government will go all out, but let him prepare mentally in advance! On Tuesday morning, island time , major TV stations and radio stations, and urgently revised newspapers all reported this news, especially the media controlled by Jiuding Newspaper Company behind the scenes, especially large books and special books, for fear of influence not enough! After the opening of the stock market, the stock price of Kosi Industries has once again avalanche! The opening price gapped directly, and the first sell order opened at 1,000 yen per share. Compared with the closing price yesterday afternoon, it fell by 134.58 yen per share, a drop of nearly 12%! Subsequently, the stock price of Kosi Industries continued to plummet. At the close of the morning, the stock price dropped directly to 724.88 yen per share! In the morning, the market value evaporated again 140.25 billion yen! The Tokyo Stock Exchange is full of grief... PS: The second one will be sent, set a bowl for a monthly pass! n. v3 Chapter 1203: Launch the general attack! The latest website: The spokesperson of the US Department of Commerce said that the power is unparalleled, and the stock price of 724.88 yen per share will definitely not be the end of the island country Kosi Industries. In fact, the core business of the island country Kosi Industry Company is not aircraft safety seats, but automotive lighting equipment, railway car equipment and lighting/electrical equipment that it started with. Aircraft safety seats are just a business developed later. . So not to mention just the possible impact that the United States has found out that the safety seats produced by Xiaosi Industry Company have problems, even if this department is directly cut off, it will not cause Xiaosi Industry Company''s muscles and bones, and the stock price will evaporate. Both floors are topped! However, the key now is not how this business will be affected, but that the United States will play multiple hands to punish! The U.S. Department of Commerce spokesperson''s words are so resolute and tough, and naturally people can''t see hope. Because the United States is the master of the island nation, with the Yankee style, this kind of thing is definitely done, not just to scare people! No one dares to gamble on the risks involved! In case the island country Xiaosi Industry Company is really fined to go bankrupt, the stock held by it will have a ghost effect. All the assets will be paid off to the bank and creditors first, and the shareholder Mao will not get one. At that time, stocks are waste and worthless! Even if the U.S. Department of Commerce is not fined for bankruptcy, if the US Department of Commerce is ruthless, it will drain the blood of Kosi Industries, triggering a business crisis for the company. It will be sluggish for many years in the future, and the stock price will fall to the bottom and be completely locked up. In the unlikely event that the business of Xiaosi Industry Company cannot develop, the final result will still be unable to escape bankruptcy. Therefore, after analysis, Xiaosi Industrial Company has a high risk of bankruptcy, and the risk of stocks being locked up at low prices is also high. As for the possibility of getting through the crisis easily? too low! Almost everyone reported a pessimistic view. Therefore, the stock can be sold, and it doesn''t matter how low the price is. One yen can be recovered as one yen! When the investors chatted, this attitude was recognized by almost everyone. So after the opening in the afternoon, Kosi Industry''s stock price continued to plummet. By the end of the afternoon, it had fallen to 468.44 yen per share, and the market value had evaporated by 91.466 billion yen. At this time, the market value of the island country Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. has fallen from 478.877 billion yen, the highest in the previous period, to 163.954 billion yen. The market value has evaporated by 314.923 billion yen, which is nearly two-thirds less! It''s not amazing! Before that, Kojiro Kyomoto was going to spend 10 billion yen to buy stocks after going short in Jiuding Securities. But this time the crisis completely exceeded his imagination. Therefore, when Junhei Hyuga''s inquiry was met, Kojiro Kojiro categorically refused, and he did not dare to spend 10 billion yen to buy the bottom privately. Even the private funds of 10 billion yen that he originally owned were dealt with urgently by him, and he planned to hide it first. Before the crisis is resolved, no matter how low the stock price drops, he will not dare to buy the bottom, lest he sink deeper! He has prepared for the worst, ready to set aside funds to save his life or prepare for a comeback in the future. On Wednesday morning, various unfavorable public opinion news still occupied the hot spot, further creating panic among investors. By the time the market closed on Wednesday morning, Kosi Industry''s stock price had fallen to 325.68 yen per share. At this time, because the stock price has shrunk very seriously, there is not much room to fall. Therefore, although the decline continues, the rate of decline has slowed down. After the market opened in the afternoon, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and many financial institutions of Xia Yu started buying in a relatively gentle and secret way. Almost no one cares about the selling orders that fill the market, leaving Xia Yu''s financial institutions to choose and buy. By the end of the afternoon, the many accounts of Jiuding Securities had bought 11.5454 million shares. In addition, other financial institutions such as Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Insurance Company, Polaris Capital Island Branch, Wells Fargo Bank Island Branch and many other financial institutions have bought bottoms. In one afternoon, the bargain-hunting reached 65.181 million shares, accounting for 18.62% of the total share capital. The average bargain-hunting price was 302.14 yen per share, costing 19.694 billion yen in total. The final closing price was fixed at 289.55 yen per share. At this price, Nomura Securities'' floating loss reached 23.184 billion yen! According to the current USD/JPY exchange rate, the floating loss can reach 100 million USD! Although it is only a floating loss, in the face of the current situation of Kosi Industry, it can actually be regarded as the actual future loss. Before leaving get off work that afternoon, Xia Yu decided to formally take action on Nomura Securities! And the initial attack undoubtedly started with public opinion. Early on Thursday morning, many financial newspapers reported a piece of news-Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. did not end the first quarter, and its losses have far exceeded the net profit of last year! And listed three detailed investment loss lists. After the insider was exposed, many investment institutions have downgraded their ratings on Nomura Securities! When Junping Hyuga saw the news in the newspaper at home, he was so frightened that he didn''t eat breakfast, and hurried to the company headquarters. When he came outside the company, he found that the outside was surrounded by reporters carrying long guns and short cannons. After entering the company with difficulty, he obviously felt that some people in the company were worried, and the employees'' eyes and faces were full of anxiety. The color. He did not care to appease the emotions of ordinary employees, and immediately notified all senior executives to hold a meeting. Soon, the meeting room of Nomura Securities Co. was full of people. As long as there were no business trips, the senior executives of the parent company of the island country were all there. It''s just that the atmosphere in the conference room is extremely depressing, everyone is worried, and the atmosphere does not dare to take a breath. The first reaction of these executives when they saw the news was that the company had an insider! Otherwise, such detailed information cannot be leaked out, and it also includes the secrets of the New York branch. You know, many of them are not qualified to know the situation of overseas subsidiariesWhy can outsiders know? They thought they would welcome the thunder anger of the president at the beginning, but they didn''t expect that Junping would not mention it after the formal meeting, but went directly to the topic. "Now that the company is in a crisis, the status of the employees has been affected. All departments must do their best to reassure them, stimulate their morale, and tide over the difficulties together." "There are now a large number of reporters gathered outside the company. In the future, our company will also be the focus of the media. Everyone must not talk nonsense. If it affects the company, the company will severely punish!" "Finally, all departments should dispose of the investments that have made little or loss as soon as possible, and try their best to gather funds to defend against unknown risks!" "Action now, the meeting is over!" In this meeting, Junpian Hyuga just said a few words, and it took less than a minute to add up. Before the chair was warm, he stood up and took the lead to leave the meeting room, leaving a group of people standing up and staring at each other. PS: First, ask for more votes v3 Chapter 1204: Nothing to fight back Latest URL: After leaving the meeting room, Junping Hyuga went back to his office alone, staring at the newspaper on the desktop. He brought the newspaper from home. From the irregular creases on it, one can guess that the newspaper had been abused. In the newspaper, the most prominent is the list of losses on three projects of Nomura Securities. Shorted the Ocean Fishery Company and lost 4.7 billion yen! Doing long island country Kosi Industry Co., a loss of 23 billion yen! The New York branch was long oil futures and lost 196 million US dollars! At home at that time, after seeing this list, Junpian Hyuga was filled with panic and anger. His first thought was that there was an insider in the company. However, on the way here, he tried his best to stay calm and sorted out what had happened during this period. Then he made a judgment that there may be traitors in the company, but the most important thing is that someone is eyeing his company. And his first object of suspicion was Wells Fargo Bank, which had been shorting Nomura Securities Company before! The second object of suspicion is undoubtedly Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which opposed him on the stocks of Dayang Fishery Company and Kosi Industrial Company. The third object of suspicion is the financial giants on Wall Street in the United States, and they must be short in oil futures. Finally, after careful consideration, Junping Hyuga decided that in addition to the enemies on the face, there are enemies in the dark. The enemies have compiled a layer of nets and are now preparing to close Nomura Securities'' net! This made him shudder! Because he had just reacted, he didn''t even know what the enemy was. So after he came to the company, he never mentioned anything that would destroy the military''s morale, and directly issued an order to empty most of his assets and withdraw funds. He is scared! Now these three exploded lists show that Nomura Securities has lost more than 300 million U.S. dollars. The news has already been published, and it is too late to recover. Investors must have seen it. After the opening of the stock market, the stock price plummeted is doomed. Junpian Hyuga didn''t plan to go to the bottom so fast, lest the funds were trapped and fooled again. At the same time, he is also worried that investors are asking for redemption of funds. Fortunately, closed funds have a certain closed period. For those semi-closed funds and open funds, investors have the right to redeem funds. If there is not enough capital reserves, if the capital chain dries up, then the company''s crisis will expand more than ten times, and then it will be fatal! In the financial industry, when the crisis comes, liquidity is the only confidence! "call!" Junping Hyuga shook his head abruptly to make the fund clearer, then he picked up the phone on the desktop and quickly dialed a number. That was called Shuren Ishikawa, the person in charge of the New York branch. He wanted to remind Shuren Ishikawa to withdraw funds as soon as possible and be vigilant. Ishikawa Shuren has caused huge losses to the company in the oil futures speculation. Now the company is facing a crisis, and the New York branch has two-thirds of the responsibility! He has serious doubts about Ishikawa Shuren¡¯s abilities, but now is an emergency. Not only is it too late to become a handsome man in the battle, it will also mess up the military¡¯s mind and expose greater loopholes, so he can only remind Ishikawa Shuren what to do. . Next, Junping Dayxiang took the trouble to call the heads of overseas branches to give orders. Just when he was busy on the phone. The Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Osaka Stock Exchange, and the Nagoya Stock Exchange were opened at the same time. After the market opened, a large number of sell orders were thrown out, and Nomura Securities'' stock price began to decline. Nomura Securities¡¯ news is certainly not as popular as Kosi Industry¡¯s, but because of its larger market value and a high reputation in the financial industry, it still attracts a large number of attention. However, this does not affect the continued decline in Kosi Industry''s share price after the opening. For Xia Yu, detonating the thunder of Nomura Securities Co., on the contrary, can better protect his company''s stock of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. Here is a bargain hunter on Kosi Industry''s stock. On the other side, it smashed Nomura Securities Co., which amplified the panic in the market and stimulated Nomura Securities'' stock price to fall. An hour after the opening in the morning, several rumors came out-Nomura Securities Company''s capital chain is about to dry up. In order to deal with the sudden outbreak of the crisis, the investment assets are being emptied at low prices, and the company''s actual losses will further expand! After these rumors come out, stockholders are limited by their ability and resources and it is difficult to detect, but financial institutions are different. Financial institutions directly focused on Nomura Securities'' previous investment destinations, and at the same time collected stock market intelligence, and soon discovered that this was true! Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. handles asset withdrawals on a large scale. After the confirmation, the heads of many institutions were moved and realized that this was an excellent opportunity to get into trouble. Not only could they pit Nomura Securities Co., but they could also get Nomura Securities'' processing at a lower price as long as the operations were done properly. Assets, they like to do this kind of self-interested things! When these institutions took action, the various departments of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. encountered great resistance, and Junping Hyuga was so angry that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. In this dilemma, he can only weigh the powers and choose whichever is less, and continue to gritted his teeth and order the company to speed up the return of funds. This behavior also accelerated the decline in Nomura Securities'' stock price. After the stock market closed that afternoon. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange with the highest market value, Nomura Securities'' stock price has fallen to 501.64 yen per share, and the market value has evaporated by 146.362 billion yen! When night came, the island country was closed, but as the US side opened at dawn, the stock price of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. began to plummet on the New York Stock Exchange. In one day, the market value of Nomura Securities Co. dropped directly below US$2 billion. By the time the market closed on Friday afternoon, the stock price of Nomura Securities'' Tokyo Stock Exchange had fallen to 446.92 yen per share. As for Kosi Industries, the crisis is still there, and the stock price has fallen to 245.69 yen per share. After two days on Thursday and Friday, major institutions have gained tremendous results by buying bottoms, costing 22.69 billion yen and buying 92.354 million shares of stocks. Adding the results on Wednesday Xia Yu secretly held a total of 157.53 million shares. With so many stocks, there are more stocks in circulation than before the listing of Kosi Industries, which shows that many shareholders have thrown out their stocks. But with so many stocks, Xia Yu is still not satisfied. Kosi Industrial Company is a large industrial company he is looking at. The acquisition is enough to become one of his core companies in the island industry. How can these stocks be enough? Following Xia Yu''s order, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., Jiuding Bank and other institutions have started to take action, preparing to use this weekend to purchase the shares of the island country Kosi Industry Co. and Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. At the same time, Wells Fargo Bank is also preparing to use these two days to resolve the gambling agreement with those institutions in advance. Only in this way, the 52,556,800 shares originally borrowed for gambling will truly belong to Xia Yu. PS: After finishing the second update in a hurry, I was shocked when I opened the backstage. Thank you, the boss, who is the leader of Ning Ge, thank you! v3 Chapter 1205: Clear the only obstacle Latest website: Wells Fargo asked these institutions to end the gambling early. The action was very smooth. No institution refused to agree. The only difference is the price. But now Nomura Securities has indeed had a big problem. It is no longer a short-term high-profit investment target. Even if Nomura Securities'' stock price may recover in the future, it will take a long time. If it takes a year for Nomura Securities to recover its stock price to its previous level, it will definitely be a big loss for these institutions that require high capital utilization. And this is just a hypothesis. According to the current situation, Nomura Securities has suffered such a serious loss and its reputation has been severely damaged. It is very difficult to recover in a year. Therefore, instead of placing hopes on Nomura Securities, it is better to reclaim the funds as early as possible, and then use these funds to make more money, maybe you can invest in projects with great potential. And Wells Fargo does not make short-selling profits as its primary purpose, so for efficiency, it is also more relaxed when negotiating, which makes work efficiency very amazing. ... On the Jiuding Securities Company''s side, Yu Matsumoto personally went to Yokohama and found Kojiro Kyogen. When I saw Matsumoto Yu, Kojiro''s attitude was very cold. No way, who made Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. be one of the main forces shorting Xiaosi Industrial Co., Ltd.! Now that the company will become like this, Jiuding Securities may not have such great energy, but if it can sell short in advance, it is likely to be a participant in the conspiracy. In the office of the president of Kosi Industry. Seeing Kojiro Kojiro remained silent after sitting down, Matsumoto smiled and said: "Kyogen-kun, I just entered your company and I found that your employees are in poor working conditions. This is not good." Kyogen Kojiro said blankly, "Matsumoto must be dazzling." Matsumoto shrugged and directly exposed Kyogen Kojiro¡¯s scars: ¡°Why should Kyogen-kun explain that under the sanctions of the U.S. Department of Commerce, your company is at great risk, and employees are afraid that their jobs will be lost and they will be worried. Also normal." "At present, your company has more than 2,600 employees. This involves more than 2,600 families, mainly locals in Shizuoka and Yokohama. If something goes wrong, the adverse effects will be great. " Kyogen Kojiro''s face turned black, and he was a little angry in his words: "Send me, you are here to mock me?" Matsumoto took a sip of tea and said without rush: "If it''s a mockery, I can wait for you to go bankrupt before mocking." "Of course, if it''s that time, I don''t have so much time wasting to mock you, I might as well do something meaningful." Kojiro Kyogen''s face burst with blue veins, and he looked at Matsumoto Yu with a bad look, but he still held back. Now that the company has a big problem, he really has no capital to challenge the president of a large securities company like Matsumoto. "Matsumoto-kun, let''s just say it. What are you trying to achieve today? Do you want my equity?" After Kojiro finished speaking, he looked at Yu Matsumoto with scorching eyes. Matsumoto sat up straight at this time, but still maintained a calm tone, and asked: "Kyomoto-kun, before answering your question, I want to ask you a question first." "Xiaosi Industrial Company was founded by your grandfather. This year is the 68th year of your family''s business. You definitely hope that this company can continue to operate in the long run and become a century-old company, right?" Kojiro was silent for a long time. Although he knew there were pitfalls in this question, he would fall into a disadvantage in his words, but when it came to his grandfather and his father, he still chose to follow his heart. He nodded and replied: "Yes." Matsumoto smiled and continued, "But now, Kosi Industry has encountered the biggest crisis in its history." "With your ability, you can''t solve it, and no one in China can solve it." "So even if Kosi Industry Co. has survived the crisis this time, it will eventually become weak and eventually die. This is still on the premise that it can survive the crisis." Kyogen Kojiro immediately retorted: "Matsumoto-kun, why do you say so absolutely, you can''t guess the future!" Matsumoto looked inexplicable, and said confidently: "No, I have seen the future." "The future of Kosi Industry depends on your choice!" Kojiro Kojiro''s pupils shrank suddenly, his anger surged again, staring at Matsumoto Yu, and angrily said, "You did it?" Matsumoto Yumian didn''t change his color, and said lightly, "No, no, you are the one who harmed Kosi Industry, because your aircraft seats are indeed defective." "Every year the FAA conducts inspections on major airlines. Huaxia people have a good saying, ¡®If you don¡¯t know it, you can¡¯t do it yourself¡¯!" "Since you did this, you must pay for it." "That''s why you are the culprit behind the situation where Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. is now!" "We just knew about it in advance from the US." In the last words, Kyogen Kojiro seriously doubted the authenticity. Kyogen Kojiro glared at Matsumoto Yu. After a long time, he suddenly became discouraged. He couldn''t even sit upright. He reproached himself and said to himself: "Hehe, that''s right, I did not manage the company well. Serious quality problems..." Seeing Kojiro Kojiro''s appearance, Matsumoto Yuu couldn''t help feeling, but in his heart he became more and more in awe of the boss Xia Yu, because he knew that all of this was controlled by the boss behind the scenes, and even the island country''s awe-inspiring US government could affect it. No one in the entire island country can match it! "Jing Yuan-kun, I am here this time to bring hope to Xiaosi Industry Co., Ltd. We can let Xiaosi Industry Co., Ltd. tide over difficulties and let it have a bright future." "But the premise is that you have to completely let go of Kosi Industries!" Matsumoto Yu finally said what he really wanted. Kyogen Kojiro was shocked and looked at Matsumoto Yu suddenly. After a long silence, he slowly said, "How can you prove that what you are saying is true?" Matsumoto didn''t answer directly, and asked: "Kyomoto-kun, if I don''t come, the future of Kosi Industry in your hands is doomed, and you will also suffer a huge loss." "You transferred the equity to me, and you have gained strong capital for a comeback. After we took over, there was a problem with the Kosi Industry Company, and we were responsible for the loss." "The same result, the risks and losses are passed on to us, no matter which side you analyze, you are the one who benefits." "If we really have a way, Xiaosi Industrial Co., Ltd. can continue to operate, didn''t it also disappoint you?" What Matsumoto said, Kojiro Kojiro guessed it just now. The reason why he would ask such a question is just unwilling. And Matsumoto Yu''s words gave him an enlightenment, let him recognize the reality, there is no need to dig into the horns. Seeing Kyogen Kojiro''s face constantly changing, Matsumoto Yu kept quiet, staring at him tightly. At this moment, Kojiro Kojiro had a battle between heaven and man in his mind, fighting fiercely in his heart. After a long time, his complexion recovered, he sighed, looked at Matsumoto Yu, and said, "Matsumoto-kun, you have won, and the equity can be transferred to you." "But I have a request, the company''s name cannot be changed!" Matsumoto nodded and replied, "No problem!" "Then let''s talk about the price." ... Although he decided to transfer the equity , Kojiro Kojiro was still a bit unwilling, so during the negotiation, the price was bitter and even threatened not to sell. Although he knew that Kojiro was intimidating, Matsumoto Yu did not press too much. He gave Kojiro some face and gave up a little bit in price. Finally, Kojiro¡¯s 64.4 million shares were transferred at a price of 400 yen per share for a total value of 25.76 billion yen. Although the stock price of 1368.5 yen per share at the peak is far worse, it is a 62% premium to the closing price on Friday. For the stock price that continues to fall, it is already very good. After taking down the equity in Kojiro Kojiro, Matsumoto was completely relieved. The only obstacle to controlling Kosi Industries has disappeared, and he can go back to work perfectly! PS: First, ask for more votes v3 Chapter 1206: Nomura family The latest website: After taking the equity of Jingyuan Kojiro, Xia Yu has controlled a total of 157.53 million shares of Kosi Industry. In addition to the 64.4 million shares held by Jingyuan Kojiro, Xia Yu''s shareholding ratio directly reached 63.4%. As for the other minority shareholders, they are just a mob. A mere 3.3% equity can be obtained easily! Kosi Industry is so easy to do, but Nomura Securities is difficult to do. This is because four of the top five shareholders, the Nomura family, Junpei Hyuga, Sanwa Bank, and Island Life Insurance Co., have a combined shareholding ratio of 39.67%. In addition, Nomura Securities is listed on the stock exchanges in New York, the island nation of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, and the tradable stocks on each stock exchange cannot be purchased cleanly. Therefore, there are very few paths to gain absolute controlling rights. Therefore, without giving up Nomura Securities'' status as a listed company on the four exchanges, and without touching the holdings of the two shareholders of Sanwa Bank and Island Life Insurance Company, Xia Yu wanted to obtain an obedient Nomura Securities. The only way is to take the equity of the Nomura family! As long as he can win the equity of the Nomura family, even if Junping Hyuga has more ideas, he has to obey orders honestly! The only formal way to win the equity of the Nomura family is to spend money! Smash until the Nomura family disarms and surrenders! According to intelligence analysis, it is possible for the Nomura family to transfer equity. The key lies in the gap between the Nomura family and Junpei Hyuga. The Nomura family is no longer content with the status quo. On Saturday night, a row of black Rolls-Royce cars arrived at the mansion where the Nomura family is located. Although it was night, the Nomura family still welcomed the guests with grand etiquette. When Xia Yu got out of the car, he immediately saw a 40-year-old middle-aged man from the Nomura family and a white-haired old man he was supporting. Xia Yu read the information and instantly recognized the person. The frail old man is Nomura Kohei, the current head of the Nomura family, and the middle-aged man is his son Nomura Nobita. "Mr. Xia, you are welcome to come to our house!" "Mr. Nomura Kohei, Mr. Nomura Nobita, how are you, I am really sorry for letting you come to meet you so late!" As Xia Yu spoke, he shook hands with Nomura Hanghei and his son. Then, under Nomura''s warm greeting, Xia Yu took Wang Qi into the house, while a group of bodyguards scattered on alert. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, please sit down!" "Thank you!" ... After sitting down, the four of them chatted in the quiet living room. Of course, it was basically Xia Yu and Nomura Hangping, the two principals who were talking, while Wang Qi and Nomura only interjected occasionally. Although Nomura Hanghei is several times older than Xia Yu, he has always maintained a respectful attitude towards Xia Yu. No one, because Nomura Hanghei learned about Xia Yu''s identity through his own channels, and learned that Xia Yu is the king of Xiangjiang, dominating a local consortium, and his strength is far above their Nomura family. One more thing, Xia Yu is still so young! The future is limitless! Being young and strong, such a terrifying person suddenly handed over a greeting to their home. For the Nomura family, there were both crisis and opportunity. Nomura Hangping is an old man, and naturally he will not offend Xia Yu because of his attitude. "Mr. Nomura, I''m really sorry to interrupt you to rest so late." "Originally, there are some things that do not require me to come, but out of respect for the Nomura family, I think it is better for me to take the initiative. I really hope to be able to make friends with the Nomura family!" Xia Yu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup gently, and looked at Nomura Kohei with a smile and said. Nomura Kopei smiled even more and said, "Thank you Mr. Xia for your recognition. On behalf of the Nomura family, I sincerely hope to make friends with Mr. Xia!" "Haha, if that''s the case, then I have to speak straight!" Xia Yu smiled and said in a quick tone. Nomura Kohei made a please gesture: "Please!" Xia Yu said immediately: "Mr. Nomura, I am here this time hoping to buy all the equity in Nomura Securities Company held by your family!" When Xia Yu spoke, he paid special attention to Nomura Hanghei''s micro expression, but found that he was still smiling and his expression had not changed at all. Obviously he had guessed Xia Yu''s intention. Instead, Nomura beside him showed a shocked look, and then he looked at his father hesitantly. After more than ten seconds of silence in the living room. Nomura Hanghei looked at Xia Yu and slowly said, "Mr. Xia, you should have known about Nomura Securities Company. This was founded by my grandfather and then carried forward by my father. This is the pride of our family!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and agreed: "It is true that Mr. Tokuchi Nomura is no longer there, but his legendary experience has been circulating in the business world. He is a respectable financier!" Nomura Kopei smiled and thanked: "Thank you!" Then he said: "Since you know, you also understand the significance of Nomura Securities to our family." Hearing Nomura Hanghei''s words, not only was Xia Yu not angry, but he was sure in his heart. Because Nomura Kohei didn''t say not to sell, but just pointed out the meaning, which is the most important thing. The analysis before he came was not wrong! Nomura Hanghei''s attitude is so good, Xia Yu will naturally not be excessive. But for negotiations, the bargaining price must be bargained. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Nomura, I know what you said." "But as a young man, my concept is different from yours." "I started from scratch and laid down my current foundation. For me, the company that can execute my orders really belongs to me. Only by deciding the business direction of a company can I have an unlimited future." "Investing is totally different from dominating a company." Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused. He looked at Nomura and Nomura Kohei, and continued: "Although the Nomura family is now the largest shareholder of Nomura Securities, the actual controller of the company, It''s pure normal Hyuga." "Although Mr. Nomura is serving as the vice president of the company, as far as I know, Junhei Hyuga, the second largest shareholder, has won the support of the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders, and Junhei Hyuga has also been overhead Mr. Nomura. Did not give him a platform to fully display his talents and growthMr. Nomura is in his prime of life. I think he must be very unhappy in his current position, right?" Both Nomura Kopei and Nomura Nobita fell silent and did not answer. They didn''t deny it either, because it was a fact, and it was useless to deny it forcefully in front of Xia Yu, but would make Xia Yu look down. Xia Yu smiled and took advantage of the victory to pursue him: "Although the equity of Nomura Securities is valuable, in my opinion, it is not the most important to the Nomura family." "I think whether a family can continue to be passed on and thrive from generation to generation depends on whether the descendants are outstanding. As long as there are outstanding descendants, they will be able to surpass the blue and bring the family to a higher level." "Mr. Nomura, you have experienced a lot, do you think I am right?" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Nomura Hanghei with a smile. PS: Second, ask for votes v3 Chapter 1207: The greatest sincerity Latest website: Nomura Nomura is not old-fashioned, but is bright and wise. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, your eloquence and thinking are admirable!" Xia Yu chuckled and said, "Don''t dare to be it, I''m just saying some of my thoughts." Nomura Kohei said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, you have seen the true meaning of a family inheritance at such a young age, but many people wait until the gray-haired man can understand it." "This is the gap." Xia Yu smiled, no more modesty, no more self-effacement is a bit too much, he is not a lower status than Nomura Hangping, there is no need to be too hypocritical. Nomura Hanghei turned his head and looked at his son Nomura, who was sitting beside him, with a very complicated look in his eyes. For this son, he has carefully cultivated him, but unfortunately the problem lies with him as a father. Before World War II, Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was controlled by his father Tokuchi Nomura and developed extremely rapidly. However, because of his lack of ability, it also coincided with the social turmoil after the war and the complicated political and business situation. In the end, after his father passed away, he did not succeed in taking over his father¡¯s shift. Instead, Junping Hyuka became such an outsider. The president, led Nomura Securities to create one brilliance after another. The Nomura family¡¯s shareholding is not enough to support him to regain the leadership of the company, and the most important thing is that his own ability is indeed not as good as the pure day Hyuga, unable to convince the public, so he can only accept the plant. However, he sent his son Nomura Nobita to the company for training, and placed his hopes on his son. When he is still in good health, with his identity and contacts in the company, he can still protect Nomura, so that Nomura has enough resources to exercise and a broad platform to grow rapidly. However, as he retired after falling ill, and the older generations left one after another, the young and middle-aged members of Nomura Securities Co. are mostly pure day-to-day parties, so Nomura''s life is sad. And Nomura Nobita has also reached the height of the company''s vice president, but he has already reached the ceiling. Unless Junpei Hyuga is kicked off, he can''t grow up. Junping Hyuga is also guarding against Nomura, so Nomura is now in an awkward position in Nomura Securities Company. He is in a high position but does not have enough rights. It can be said that these years have been wasting time! The Nomura family tried to connect other shareholders, but the other shareholders were not stupid. They were profit-only, thinking that Junping Hyuga could bring them stable profits. The Sanhe Consortium also supported Junping Hyuga. After the failure of the series, Nomura Kohei thought about finding another way for Nomura Nobita, but he has not found a suitable opportunity, and he has not made up his mind. After receiving Xia Yu''s greeting, Nomura realized that the opportunity he had been looking for seemed to have come, and Xia Yu''s words tonight confirmed his previous conjecture. But whether the Nomura family really takes this step depends on whether Xia Yu has enough chips to make him make this determination! "Mr. Nomura, I came tonight with great sincerity, and I believe you can see it." "At present, I don''t have many friends in the island country, and I very much hope to establish friendship with your family." "If you have known me, you may know that although my work is sometimes shocking and unacceptable, I am also famous for my attitude towards friends. I have never let my friends suffer. " "So you might as well listen to my offer, how about?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Nomura Hanghei with a smile. Nomura Nomura beside Nomura Hanghei with sweaty palms, his palms gripped his trouser legs, and looked at his father nervously. After listening to Xia Yu''s words, he felt very complicated at this time, both looking forward to and worried, because this determined the future of him and the next generation of the Nomura family. And the decision-making power of all this lies in his father''s hands. Nomura Hanghei slightly nodded and smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, it''s okay. There is an old saying in China that "business is not righteous". You might as well make a price." Xia Yu smiled more heavily. After a moment of indulgence, he looked at Nomura and said solemnly: "Mr. Nomura, I am a more straightforward person and don''t like to make twists and turns, so I will quote once. " "This Friday, Nomura Securities'' stock price fell to 446.92 yen per share, and it is expected that it will continue to fall next week." "But I sincerely want to make friends with the Nomura family, so I am willing to pay a high price!" "900 yen per share!" As soon as Xia Yu''s price came out, Nomura was prepared, and he was still moved by it. And Nomura Nobita beside him was even more shocked. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to offer such a high price. His sincerity is indeed not just talking about it, but it is completely presented in real money. After Nomura Hanghei and Xia Yu looked at each other for more than ten seconds, he sighed and said with admiration: "Mr. Xia, your sincerity really surprised me." Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Nomura, my sincerity is more than that." "If cooperation can be reached, your family will be my closest friends in the island country in the future. In the future, we can cooperate in many aspects." "Your family has such a huge amount of capital, and it is entirely possible to start a large securities company from scratch. After I became the head of Nomura Securities, I can also cooperate with the company I returned home. My bank and Jiuding Securities can also cooperate. ." "My strength in the banking sector of the island country will not be inferior to any of the six major consortia, do you believe it?" The last sentence shocked Nomura Kopei. Although he couldn''t believe it subconsciously, he calmly thought about it. Xia Yu didn''t need to lie to him, because it was true or false when he cooperated. Thinking about it this way, he was even more shocked. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to be able to have such a strong strength without speaking, and to hide so deeply. This is the embodiment of strength! "Mr. Xia, I believe you have this strength!" Nomura Kopei nodded solemnly and said. "So, what''s your decision?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Nomura Hanghei with a smile on his face. Nomura Hanghei laughed: "Mr. Xia, our family is willing to be your closest friend!" After speaking, Nomura patted his son and asked him to help him up. Xia Yu and Wang Qi also stood up. "Happy cooperation!" When the two hands were held together, the four people in the room showed bright smiles, and the atmosphere reached the peak of tonight. After the four people were seated again, the atmosphere of the chat was much warmer than before. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Nomura, thank you very much for your help." "But because things are more urgent I will take someone here tomorrow morning to complete the transaction, and the money can be paid in one lump sum. What do you think?" Of course Nomura Kopei has no objection, and he said thoughtfully: "Of course, Mr. Xia, please rest assured that I must keep this information confidential. If we need any cooperation, I am obliged to do so!" "Thank you!" "Mr. Nomura, I am very happy to be with you tonight, but the time is relatively late, so I won''t bother too much, and I will visit again tomorrow." "Okay, I have to trouble Mr. Xia for an extra trip. I will also prepare everything tomorrow, waiting for your visit!" ... Nomura Hangping and his son sent Xia Yu and Wang Qi out the door, and shook hands with Xia Yu again before boarding the car, and then waved to watch Xia Yu''s motorcade go away. PS: Two days of overtime work this weekend, so the update is late, forgive me v3 Chapter 1208: The first industrial giant got it Latest website: The next morning, Xia Yu brought people over again. The price has been negotiated, and only a simple agreement is left. Basically, it is just a formality. The Nomura family holds 229.08 million shares of Nomura Securities, accounting for 18.4% of the company''s total share capital. According to the price of 900 yen per share, Xia Yu needs to invest 206.171 billion yen. Converted into U.S. dollars, more than 870 million U.S. dollars. Although the money was huge, Xia Yu paid the full amount without blinking his eyes, and Nomura went to Jiuding Bank in person to open an account and transfer, and then returned in less than half an hour. Xia Yu can also take away all the equity held by the Nomura family. "Mr. Xia, if you don''t have a meal at noon, I know a restaurant is very distinctive." Seeing Wang Qi putting things in his bag, Xia Yu and others seemed to be leaving, and Nomura asked with a smile. Xia Yu looked at the time, smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Nomura, thank you for your invitation, but this time is really tight. Next time, I will stay in the island country for a longer period of time." Nomura Airplane expressed regret, but he nodded in understanding: "That''s really a pity, but it''s still important. Then wait for the next time, Mr. Xia will definitely be rewarded." "of course!" ... After that, Nomura Hanghei and his son went out to send Xia Yu away. After Xia Yu''s car disappeared from sight, Nomura and his son returned to the living room. Nomura took out a bank card from Jiuding Bank (credit cards appeared in the United States in 1915, and Bank of America issued bank cards in 1959). When Xia Yu was there, he was inconvenient to elaborate. He just nodded to his father to indicate that the money had arrived. Now that Xia Yu left, he finally couldn''t hide his excitement, and said, "Father, I saw it with my own eyes. It was 206.171 billion yen." Nomura Nobita has never seen so much liquidity, even in Nomura Securities. After all, the total assets of Nomura Securities are only two trillion yen. Among them, there are less than 120 billion yen in island countries. 200 billion yen is equivalent to one-sixth of Nomura Securities'' domestic assets. One. Nomura Securities has never left so much liquidity! But now, this money belongs entirely to their family and can be freely controlled by their family! Nomura Kopei took the bank card and touched his complexion. This is what he exchanged for his grandfather and father''s foundation. From today onwards, Nomura Securities has no direct relationship with their family except for one name! a long time. Nomura Kopei recovered and said to Nomura Nobita, "Help me to your grandfather and your great-grandfather." Nomura Nobita hurriedly helped his father up, and then slowly came to the innermost room, where the spiritual positions of the old Nomura Tokuchi and Onomura Tokuchi were placed. The whole room was decorated in solemn and solemn black. When Nomura Hanghei and Nomura Nobita entered, they both took the attitude of a godly castle. With the spiritual position and black-and-white photos placed in the middle, Nomura''s eyes were a little wet. He approached, gently brushing the non-existent dust on the spiritual position, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, grandpa, the offspring is shameless, and sold the foundation you created." "But I think you should also support me..." "I am old and will see you soon, so today, under your witness, I will pass on the glory of the family." Speaking of this, Nomura Kopei suddenly raised the volume and ordered: "Nobita, kneel down!" Nomura Kneeled on the ground without hesitation, his face was serious and solemn. Hang Nomura slowly turned around and said to Nomura Nobita, "Nobita, today, with your grandfather and your great-grandfather as witnesses, I will completely hand over the family to your hands. You will be the fourth-generation head of the Nomura family." "The family''s assets are here. From today, you will decide how to control him!" As he said, Nomura Takehei took out the bank card, Nomura opened his hands together with a solemn expression, and caught the bank card. This bank card is so thin, but the moment Nomura received it, Nomura seemed to have the weight of a mountain on his body. "Nobita, I only hope that you will be calm and prudent in everything you do in the future, and do your best to bring the Nomura family to another glory!" Nomura Nomura nodded heavily and promised: "Father, please rest assured that I will do my best. With the current connections and resources, I will definitely work hard to open up a broader future for the family." With this net asset, if he sets up a securities company, he will be a large securities company together, which is enough for him to display his talents. Nomura nodded, and didn''t say much else. He just patted Nomura on the shoulder and said in an expectant tone: "Let go and do it, I believe you!" Nomura''s eyes were a little moist, and he blinked to make his eyes dry. "Father, I won''t let you down!" "Ok!" ... This weekend is destined to be a harvest period for Jiuding Securities. In the evening, the results of various companies were put together in his hands. The first is the island country Kosei Industrial Company. In addition to Jingyuan Kojiro, Jiuding Securities also purchased 43.4 million shares at a cost of 10.83 billion yen. As a result, Xia Yu held 265.33 million shares, which accounted for 75.8% of the company''s total share capital, which was a large part of the absolute holding line. Of course, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. also gambling with Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. has not returned the 23,538,600 shares that it borrowed. The reason for not returning it is to trap Nomura Securities'' funds. Although this equity will definitely be its own in the future, it will be hedged at this time. It still controls more than two-thirds of the equity, which is enough to completely take over the Kosi Industrial Company and pass any resolutions. As for Nomura Securities, the results are also very gratifying. The agreements between Wells Fargo Bank and those institutions were all cancelled, and the only payment of US$502 million made the 22.63% of the equity belong to Xia Yu. When thinking about the previous gambling, these shares were worth US$681 million, which is equivalent to a profit of US$169 million. But when you think about gambling, you can borrow at a fair price. If UU read were to acquire at that time, the premium would never be low, so the saved money actually exceeded US$169 million, which was enough to make up for the Nomura family. The premium hole is gone. In addition, Xia Yu''s many institutions also used weekends to acquire a total of 14.5% of Nomura Securities'' equity in the island country and abroad, at a cost of US$329 million. In this way, the equity of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. held by Xia Yu''s side will total 55.53%! There is not much equity in the hands of institutions, and most of them are in the hands of retail investors. Next Monday, the stock will be officially scanned from the stock market! However, Xia Yu does not hope that the stock price will rebound due to the unexpected acquisition by bargain hunters, thereby increasing his acquisition cost. So one thing tomorrow must be done before the stock market opens. Hope Junping Hyuga is acquainted... v3 Chapter 1209: Junping Hyugas choice Latest website: On Monday morning, Junping Hyuga had just finished breakfast at home, and just about to go out, he found that there was a black luxury car at his door. It''s a Rolls Royce! Junping Ji frowned suddenly, and his instinct told him that there was a problem with this car. At this moment, the right rear window suddenly rolled down, revealing an unexpected figure. Turns out to be the president of Jiuding Securities Company-Matsumoto Yu! "Junping-jun, won''t you invite me in and sit down?" "I have something I want to talk to you about!" Matsumoto said with a smile, with a very kind attitude. Youdao is to reach out and don''t hit the smiley person, and pure ordinary Hyuga is not that kind of low-quality person. What''s more, it was not being taken to a strange place, but in my own home, and only a car came. There seemed to be no other people in the car except the driver, so he had nothing to fear. He could only hold back his eagerness to go to the company, smiled and said, "Matsumoto-kun, welcome, come in!" Matsumoto opened the car door and came down with a black briefcase. It''s just that this briefcase is swollen, obviously full of things, which makes Junping Hyuga frequently eye-catching. The smile on Matsumoto Yu''s face was even greater, and he glanced at Junpei Hyuga with deep meaning, and said that later you would wish you didn''t see these things. Soon, Junhei Hyuga and Matsumoto Yu entered the living room, they sat down face to face, Junhei Hyuga made tea for Matsumoto Yu himself. Matsumoto is not in a hurry, but Junping Hyuga is anxious to go to work and arrange work urgently before starting. Therefore, seeing Matsumoto Yu''s appearance, he thought maliciously whether Matsumoto Yu came to him on purpose to delay his time. Therefore, after Matsumoto Yu drank two sips of tea, Junpei Hyuga actively asked: "Matsumoto-kun, there is still something to do with our company. If you have anything, just tell me." Matsumoto smiled and said, "Junhei-san, don''t worry, maybe after reading what I brought, you may not be so anxious to go to the company." Junping Hyuga''s expression changed slightly, his eyes became more cautious, and he looked at the bulging black briefcase next to Matsumoto Yu. Matsumoto Yu lifted the bag and took out a very full kraft paper archive bag. He handed the portfolio to Junpei Hyuga, and smiled lightly, "Junpei-san, please look!" After Junpei Hyuga took it, Matsumoto Yu took up a tea cup and savored it, looking at Junpei Hyuga with some expectation. I saw Junping Hyuga swiftly opening the portfolio and taking out a thick stack of documents. When he opened the first copy, his expression changed. He raised his head and glanced at Yu Matsumoto, then pressed the waves in his heart and looked quickly. As one document after another was kept aside after being scanned, Junping Hyuga''s expression became more ugly. Even because of the inexplicable horror in my heart, even my hands trembled a little, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on my forehead. After reading all the documents, Junping Hyuga quickly turned over again, and silently made a calculation in his mind. After the calculation results came out, Junpian Hyuga only felt his scalp numb, and his strength seemed to be drained. He leaned on the sofa and looked at Matsumoto in a daze. For a long time, Junping Day asked in a hoarse voice: "Matsumoto-kun, besides Wells Fargo Bank, what other institutions are you conspiring with?" Although the copy of the equity certificate and the transfer agreement have the name of the purchaser on it, many of them are unheard of companies, and Jundai Hyuga knows that these are just methods commonly used by financial institutions. Just thinking that 55.55% of the equity of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is now concentrated here, Junping Hyuga feels suffocated. The Nomura family was able to completely give up the equity, which made him incredulous. In his impression, the Nomura family regarded this equity as the root of their lives and they have always coveted the control of Nomura Securities. But now the Nomura family has completely transferred the equity without saying a word! How can this not panic Junping Hyuga? What kind of power is it that can easily take down the Nomura family without even knowing it? In Matsumoto''s impression, Junpei Hyuga has always been wise, calm, and wolfish. He is definitely a strong figure in the financial world of the island country. But now such a strong figure is directly penetrated by the materials he brought to his psychological defense line, Matsumoto Yu has to sigh, fortunately, he is the right person, there is a difference between backing and no backing! Feeling for a moment, Matsumoto Yu did not let Junkai Hinata wait much. He smiled and said, "Junping Jun, you still don''t know who it is, the key depends on how you choose!" Junping Hyuga took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Choose? What choice?" Matsumoto looked directly at Junpei Hyuga, and asked, "Junpei-san, do you think you can still be the president in front of these equity interests?" Junpei Hyuga was silent. He wanted to forcefully say yes, but it was just thinking about it. He didn''t want to make Matsumoto ridiculed. Although this 55.53% of the equity does not reach the absolute holding line of two-thirds, as long as these equity are combined, he, the president, is a waste, absolutely replace him! The room for him to struggle is very, very small. And once struggling, then it means tearing the face, then... Matsumoto Yu said abruptly: "Junhei-kun, in fact, the big boss appreciates you very much. He recognizes your talents and thinks you are important to Nomura Securities." Hearing this, although he was not sure whether it was true or not, Junping Hyuga secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the thoughts of resistance that had arisen after hard work were also wiped out in front of these words. It''s just that suddenly there is a mysterious boss on his head who is in charge of his life and death, which makes Junping Hyuga, who has always been used to dominating the fate of others, is very unaccustomed. However, you are a master who knows the current affairs. He chose the safest path between benefits and drawbacks, risks and consequences. Junpei Hyuga squeezed a smile, and was kind to Matsumoto Yu. He tentatively asked, "Matsumoto-kun, I don''t know what else you have except let me see these things?" Matsumoto looked at his watch, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Junpei Hyuga, "Boss hopes that you will not do anything in these two days." This command was strange, but Junping Hinata immediately understood it when he rolled his eyes. He subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall, fell silent, and struggled fiercely inside. Now if you resist, there is still a little bit of self-preservation, but the risk of failure is greater and the consequences will be serious. If he really agreed to Matsumoto''s request, it is estimated that in two days, he will lose even the last bit of leeway. Even if it is still the company''s second largest shareholder, the fate of the company will be controlled by others. Matsumoto said it nicely, the boss admires him, but who knows if this is true? He knew that in the next two days, the mysterious boss must be buying stocks on the stock market to increase their holdings. Once the shareholding ratio of 55.53% is raised to over 66.7%, then he must be completely obedient. Otherwise, the boss can dilute his equity at any time, causing heavy losses to his interests. "Matsumoto-kun, you may not know that the boss has a very good relationship with the Sanhe Foundation." "And I think Sanhe Bank can''t refuse the friendship from Wall Street." Seeing Junpei Hyuga was too late to make a decision, Matsumoto Yu had no choice but to add fire and push Junpei Hyuga. Sure enough, Junping Hinata''s face changed again. He took a deep look at Yu Matsumoto, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes for a long time and uttered a word: "Okay!" Matsumoto smiled brightly, got up and stretched out his hand to Junhei Hyuga and said enthusiastically, "Junhei-san, you made a wise decision." Junping Hyuga smiled reluctantly, and said, "I hope so too!" Seeing Junhei Hyuga''s bad mood, Matsumoto Yu could understand, but he couldn''t comfort him. So he can only say: "In a few days, I think we will meet again." "Then, I''m leaving now!" "Okay, I''ll give it to you!" ... After waving his hand to watch Matsumoto Yu''s car go away, Junpei Hyuga stared at the sky blankly, but he couldn''t calm down for a long time. "I hope this is the right decision..." PS: The first edition of the genuine book friend lucky draw reward event is scheduled to be held in the group at 8 pm on Saturday, November 14th. Welcome everyone to participate on time! Don''t miss the time! v3 Chapter 1210: Nomura Securities is here! The latest website: Junping Hyuga chooses to surrender, which makes Xia Yu very pleased. He has a good impression of him who has never met before. As soon as the stock market opened, many of Xia Yu''s institutions began to suppress stock prices, which was to reduce costs for subsequent acquisitions. The abnormal stock price of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was naturally discovered by the monitored employees and reported immediately. But in the end it was nothing, and the senior management turned a blind eye to this matter. Although the people below are extremely anxious, they can only do it in a hurry. Without the right to transfer funds, I can only watch the stock price of Nomura Securities Company fall. This kind of weird situation made other institutions undecided. They watched Nomura Securities'' stock price fall, but were afraid to buy. Some institutions even failed to analyze the current situation and chose to sell their stocks. At the same time, many institutions are also buying the bottom of the stock market, the stock of Kosi Industry Co., Ltd. whose stock price continues to fall. In one morning, 22.87 million shares were bought, which increased Xia Yu¡¯s total shareholding ratio to 82.33%! In the afternoon of the same day, the island nation''s Kosi Industrial Company carried out a large-scale equity change. Even the president Jingyuan Kojiro announced his withdrawal from the ranks of shareholders and was preparing to leave. After the news broke, the stock price, which had been in shock because of bottom hunting, fell again. The eyes of the media are focused on Kosi Industry. Fortunately, Xia Yu did not concentrate all of the shares of Xiaosi Industrial Company in the hands of Jiuding Securities, but only part of it, most of which were held by other shell companies. Then, on Tuesday morning, Kosi Industry held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to re-elect the board of directors. The chairman of Kojiro Kojiro and a large number of directors were replaced, leaving only a few non-independent directors who did not hold equity. For the new board of directors, the chairman is an executive promoted by Kosi Industry, named Shigeru Nakamura, who is extremely capable and not a right-wing thinking person. After the general meeting of shareholders, the first meeting of the new board of directors was immediately held. After the meeting voted to appoint Shigeru Nakamura as the company''s executive president and some personnel, the most important thing was the proposal to apply for delisting and privatization. After the meeting, Kosi Industry immediately submitted an application for delisting and privatization to the Securities Regulatory Commission and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The price of the privatization of the stock was the latest stock price-213.49 yen per share! When Kosi Industry was in the quagmire, parity privatization was already very kind. In order to privatize the remaining 63.83 million shares, 13.627 billion yen was required! The entrusting party of the privatization is Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and all the funds are in place. Kosi Industries itself has fallen into a crisis vortex. The island government has long been worried that it will affect a large number of shareholders. Now Kosi Industries has chosen to privatize. It can be said that the crisis is concentrated on itself and investors can lose as much as possible. Lower. Therefore, after receiving Kosi Industry¡¯s application for delisting, the Tokyo Stock Exchange had an urgent meeting to discuss and made a decision before the market opened in the afternoon, agreeing to Kosi Industry¡¯s application. So when the market opened on Tuesday afternoon, Xiaosi Industry Company had suspended trading and officially began the process of delisting and privatization. Retail investors and institutions holding stocks have gone to Jiuding Securities to handle related businesses. The popularity of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. soared! ... When the market was closed on Wednesday morning, the bottom-hunting work of Nomura Securities Co. was officially announced. The stock price of Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. fell a bit because of the behavior of suppressing the stock price before the bottom hunting. Buying 158.25 million shares of stock by bargain hunting cost only 62.457 billion yen. In addition to the 55.53% of the equity held before, the total shareholding of all institutions in Xia Yu has increased to 68.2%! Completed the substantial absolute holding of Nomura Securities. It''s just that Xia Yu doesn''t seem to be exposed, so these shares are hidden. To reach this level, Xia Yu''s total cost equivalent to US dollars is 1.96453 million US dollars. If the stock price of Nomura Securities Company is normal, it will cost nearly 2.2 billion US dollars to buy at a fair price, not to mention that the dog''s brain must be punched out under normal circumstances, and the stock price will not necessarily be able to complete the plan. As for Kosi Industrial Company, if the funds for the complete privatization are included, Xia Yu spent a total of 97.801 billion yen. When Kosi Industry''s market value was normal, it was 478.97 billion yen. It is equivalent to buying such a large industrial company at a price of one-fifth of the market value. Under the circumstances that he can resolve the crisis of Xiaosi Industry Company in a big and small way, he has made a lot of money! Think about the ultra-low price acquisition of Ocean Fishery Company, shorting Xiaosi Industrial Company and shorting the profits of oil futures. It can be said that this time Xia Yu personally made a lot of money! Definitely a hearty victory! ... "Junping-san, be prepared, the boss is inside!" On Wednesday night, a car went through the security check and entered the garden of Xia Yu¡¯s mansion. When the car parked in the outdoor garage, Matsumoto Yu and Junhei Hyuga came to the front door of the mansion. The doorbell rang while watching. After a while, the door of the room opened, revealing Li Wuming''s figure. He saw Matsumoto Yu''s face ease, and he glanced at Junhei Hyuga and said, "Come in, the boss is waiting for you in the living room!" "Ok!" After that, the two walked in. When he saw Xia Yu who was leaning on the sofa, Junhei Hiuga flashed a shocking color in his eyes, and he looked at Matsumoto Yu abruptly, trying to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and he got Matsumoto Yu''s affirming gaze. Junping day was shocked. He didn''t expect the mysterious boss to be so young. No wonder Matsumoto said when he came to prepare him psychologically. The boss was absolutely beyond his imagination, so he didn''t even ask him any questions. If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, how could he not believe it! It¡¯s just that this boss seems familiar... Wait, the person next to the boss is Wang Qi, the president of Xiangjiang Jiuding Securities! Then... He didn''t have time to think about it, Matsumoto Yu''s greeting to Xia Yu made him instantly refreshed. "Boss, good evening, I have brought people!" "Hi boss!" After Matsumoto''s greetings, Junpei Hyuga bowed respectfully to Xia Yu, but the bow was not as large as Matsumoto''s, but it was enough to show respect. "sit down!" "Let me introduce myself. I am a Chinese from Xiangjiang. My name is Xia Yu." Junping Hyuga was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of something, his eyes widened subconsciously. Upon seeing this, Xia Yu said with a smile: "It looks like you know who I am." Junpei Hyuga took a deep breath, and solemnly said, "Yes, boss, I''m sorry that I just recognized you." Xia Yu shook his head slightly, and said casually: "It''s okay. I rarely show up in public. Very few people can recognize me unless it is deliberately paying attention to me." "Come on, have tea!" "Thank you boss, I can do it myself!" After Junping Hyuga carefully took over the teacup, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Junping Hyuga, you have worked so hard these days to achieve your goal smoothly." "It''s not hard, I actually didn''t do anything!" Junpei Hyuga shook his head and said modestly. "Ha ha¡­¡­" After smiling, Xia Yu continued: "You are welcome to join me. You can rest assured that you hold equity. I will not infringe on your own interests. You still control Nomura Securities." "thank you boss!" "The boss what should I do next, please tell me!" Junping Hyuga was completely relieved, and a smile appeared on his face not freely, but he immediately put it away and asked respectfully. "Don''t do anything for the time being, just as usual." "After the Nomura family withdraws, you can fully control the company. In terms of operation, you can cooperate with Jiuding Securities in many aspects and grow together." "In terms of funds, there will also be many banks to support you. As for which banks, you will know at that time." "But there is one thing we must pay attention to. You can''t let the Sanhe Consortium discover the situation. You also want to tell me the internal situation of the Sanshui Association as soon as possible, understand?" Junpai shrank his pupils sharply, and then lowered his head subconsciously, his attitude became more respectful, and obediently said: "Boss, I understand, from now on I will review all the situation of the Sanshui Association and the Sanhe Foundation. Collect it and report it to you." After listening, Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile... ~: Cavan again, take a day off tonight Latest URL: "The Most Powerful Hero of Rebirth" is now coming to Cavan again, and I¡¯m taking a leave of absence tonight. Please wait a moment. After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1211: Consumer credit Latest website: After coming to the island country for a month and a half, Xia Yu successively won Nomura Securities Company, Kosi Industry Company and Dayang Fishery Company. Among them, Nomura Securities Company is one of the top ten securities companies. In terms of strength and influence alone, it is stronger than the securities companies of the six major consortia. Companies such as Mitsui Securities and Fuji Securities are currently inferior to Nomura Securities. In addition, Xia Yu''s own Jiuding Securities Company and securities companies opened by other financial companies in the island country. In fact, in the securities industry, he is already very strong, and he can completely avoid the six major consortia of the island countries. It''s just that the six major consortiums of the island countries have not noticed it. Although Kosi Industry is not as strong as Hitachi of the Fuji Foundation, Matsushita Electric of the Sumitomo Foundation, and Toshiba of the Mitsui Foundation, it is also a large industrial company with a large market share in many fields. Core Industries Corporation. Not to mention the Ocean Fishery Company, the largest fishery company in the island country. Without mentioning the market value and profit, in terms of revenue alone, it can enter the top 30 of the island country, and it is a large industrial company. Considering the proportion of island nation¡¯s fisheries in the island nation¡¯s economy and the demand for fisheries of the island nation¡¯s people, although Dayang Fisheries will have difficulties in recent years, its influence alone is sufficient to meet Xia Yu¡¯s needs. As long as the past few years have passed and international oil prices have fallen, Dayang Fishery''s life will naturally be better. Xia Yu is familiar with the future direction of oil prices and is not panicking at all. With this financial company and two industrial companies, it is considered to have a firm foothold in the island country. However, it is far from enough to compete with the six major consortia of island nations. After planning the Sanhe consortium, it is necessary to combine the right time, place and people, but now it is just making arrangements. Although consciously grasping a great deal, for the sake of safety, Xia Yu did not want to put the eggs in a basket. Moreover, his future enemy is certainly not just a consortium of the island country, but may be multiple consortia, so in time, he finally succeeded in annexing the weakest Sanhe consortium, and it may not be able to withstand the suppression of the other five consortia and the island country¡¯s political circles. Suppress. In particular, they support the right-wing Fuji Consortium and Mitsubishi Consortium, both of which are extremely powerful. The Mitsubishi Consortium is the strongest consortium in the island country, and the island country¡¯s military is behind it. Therefore, it is imperative and achievable to establish a business empire under his control in advance. Nowadays, the six major consortia of the island nations control 60% of the company¡¯s assets, 55% of the total capital, 60% of the consumption channels and 20% of employees. On average, each of the six major consortia controls 10% of the island country¡¯s self-produced companies and less than 9% of the total capital. If companies and families other than the six major consortia of the island nation can now unite, it will certainly be enough to form two or three more consortia comparable to the six major consortia, and there will always be room for operation. The only difference is that the six major consortia of the island nation will not be willing to see new consortia appear again. Even if other families and companies unite, they cannot unite and cannot resist the suppression. However, Xia Yu can do what they can¡¯t do. His own will is the will of the consortium. If a consortium can be established in the island country, it will definitely be the most united consortium, even the Sumitomo consortium, which is known as the most united. Far inferior to Xia Yu. The goal is good, but the key is to have a powerful company that can resist the attacks of other consortia. Moreover, he has to absorb the capital of the island country as soon as possible to have enough funds to initiate an offensive initiative. The most fundamental source of funds comes from the people of the entire island country. Therefore, banks are the most critical. They absorb deposits from depositors and operate fully to create sufficient income. It is a formal channel for banks to absorb deposits. However, because banks have low interest rates for deposits, it is more difficult to absorb deposits and competition pressure is high. Xia Yu did not intend to miss another evil way allowed by the island government. After all, the island country is not Xiangjiang, and Xia Yu can act without scruples. Anyway, the people of the island country are not his compatriots, and the island people are so ruthless by themselves, of course he would not care. The evil way he fancy is precisely the consumer credit industry! The consumer credit industry in island countries began to rise in the 1960s. The reason for the rise is that banks only lend to large and medium-sized enterprises, and generally do not pay enough attention to micro-enterprises and personal consumer credit services. Even if there are related services, the requirements are relatively high and the procedures are cumbersome. At the same time, although the island country promulgated the Capital Contribution Act and the Interest Rate Limitation Act in 1954, the two laws were ineffective due to ineffective enforcement. The regulatory vacuum, coupled with the lack of formal consumer credit channels, has provided opportunities for the booming development of inter-national lending on the island. Various small consumer credit companies and their business locations are scattered all over the streets. The initial prototype was the "monthly installment service carried out by department stores". The main promoters were retail companies and department stores, so these later consumer credit companies also expanded in this way. The reason why the consumer credit industry in island countries is developing rapidly and attracting people from all walks of life is because island residents pay attention to credit and because lenders want to pay back no matter how poor they are. ... April 2nd. Xia Yu did not go to the company, but stayed at home to check the situation of the consumer credit industry in the island country. Hundreds of pages of information have been sorted out, which is only condensed, which shows the complexity of the consumer credit industry in island countries. As he continued to understand, the status quo of the consumer credit industry in island countries was also unveiled by him. To sum up, it is the pattern of a group of heroes, and there is no giant with absolute dominance for the time being. There are thousands of large and small consumer credit companies located in various regions of the island country. These consumer credit companies are essentially loan sharks. The strong ones span multiple regions, and the weak ones only survive in the most basic townships. All the six major consortiums in the island country have entered. In addition to these consortiums, they have also formed a family of consumer credit companies to participate in the competition. It is no wonder that so many people are rushing to this market, mainly because the profits are too high. The interest rate for fund raising can be as low as a few percent, but the interest rate for lending can be as high as 20% to 30%! This is not a loan shark, what is it? But there is no way. Although the loan interest rate of the island country bank is around 7% at this time, it is difficult for small, medium and micro enterprises and individuals to get loans. They have no choice but to borrow from consumer credit companies! Having said that, among these consumer credit companies, Aiful (overfilled credit), Promise (integrity credit), (Acorn Credit), etc., backed by the six major consortiums of the island countries, are already top companies in the industry. Of course, in addition to consumer credit companies backed by the six major consortia of the island countries, there are also consumer credit companies backed by small and medium-sized families and societies, and there are also many companies founded by self-made people. Among these, the more prominent one is the Takei Credit Co., Ltd. established in 1966 and renamed in 1974 by Yasuo Takei, nicknamed "Yen Shop", which means a shop where you can buy and sell yen. Yasuo Takei? The richest man in an island nation in later generations? PS: The second one will be later n. v3 Chapter 1212: Sunshine Credit Company Latest URL: "Unexpectedly, Takei Yasuo and Takefuji Credit have grown to this point at this time!" "Pity." After reading the information related to Take Fuji Credit, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head slightly, muttering to himself with some regret. For Takei Yasuo and Takefuji Credit Company, Xia Yu had a deeper understanding in his previous life. His Takefuji Credit Company became one of the four giants in the island country¡¯s consumer credit industry in the 1990s. The three giants, Yiman Credit, Honest Credit and Acorn Credit, are all backed by large consortia. Only Take Fuji Credit Co., Ltd. was under his control and built from scratch. So Yasuo Takei is also known as the credit king of the island nation! In his previous life, Takei Yasuo succeeded in becoming the richest man in the island nation. Because Take Fuji went public in December 1998, he ranked first in the island country on the Forbes list with assets of 7.8 billion U.S. dollars in 1999, and ranked 30th in the world, and he himself is also there. Individuals who paid the most taxes in an island country each year. The limelight is instant! It''s a pity that just after he was on the throne of the richest man in the island country for the first time, he also got into trouble. That scandal shocked the island country, and it was because Takei''s fame spread abroad. In June 2000, a reporter in Tokyo interviewed the shady scenes of Takefuji''s consumer loan operations and decided to expose it. After that, Takefuji immediately dispatched the beauties from the public relations department, hoping to silence reporters with a huge amount of "hush money" and beauty. However, this reporter not only did not touch the beautiful money delivered to the door, but even threatened to call the police. Yasuo Takei then discussed countermeasures with his subordinates, and finally found a private detective agency and organized an "eavesdropping group" to intercept the reporter''s home, mobile, and car phones. Then the eavesdropping scandal was exposed, and the media reported that the island nation was shocked. Takei Yasuo was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison in December of that year with a four-year probation. Take Fuji was sentenced to a fine of 1 million yen. The fined money is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the island nation''s richest man, Yasuo Takei. The designers behind all this are not for this million yen, they want equity in Takefuji! According to island laws, if a shareholder of a loan company with more than 25% equity is sentenced to prison, the company¡¯s license may be revoked. Therefore, after Takei Yasuo was sentenced, in order to keep the company''s license and allow the company to continue to exist, Takei had to face the dilemma of selling shares. Faced with the fattening Takei Yasuo is about to throw, the US Goldman Sachs Group and Newbridge Investment Corporation rushed over, but it is a pity that it is the island consortium that is eyeing him. Finally, after a series of difficult negotiations, Takei Yasuo sold the equity to an unknown offshore fund company. As for who is behind the fund company, no one knows. Then after Takei Yasuo died of liver cancer in 2006, no one went to investigate this secret. But everyone at a certain height knows that Take Fuji was annexed by several consortia. ... Of course, at this time, Wu Fuji Company has not grown to that point, but Xia Yu basically has no chance to enter. Even if he could enter, he would not be able to obtain enough equity, and Takei could not obey him absolutely. Takei Yasuo himself is a man who promotes dictatorship and iron-fisted management. He is typically a tiger and a tiger that has become a climate. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, not to mention that Wu Fuji Company was founded by Takei Yasuo himself. How could he be willing to sell it to Xia Yu when he was not short of money? This is why Xia Yu feels pity. However, the island country''s consumer credit market is so big, the market structure is still very chaotic, and there are many opportunities. It is not too late for him to enter the market! Before purchasing an existing company and re-creating a company, Xia Yu considered the latter and chose the latter! The establishment of a new consumer credit company is more confidential and can be fully controlled. As for the license, it is not difficult in this era! So the most critical question before Xia Yu is to find a suitable white glove! In order to speed up efficiency, Xia Yu mobilized resources such as the island nation''s Korn Ferry International, the island nation''s Luo Net branch, and Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. to find suitable candidates. It only took two days to select ten candidates who met Xia Yu''s requirements. Then, after reading the detailed information, he chose a 42-year-old man named Fujiwara Jiro. And this person, at Xia Yu''s house on April 5th, stood humbly in front of him. "Fujiwara Jiro, sit down!" "thank you boss!" After Xia Yu said it, Fujiwara Jiro thanked him respectfully, and then sat down with his hands on his knees, without squinting, as if he was listening to the teachings. Xia Yu nodded secretly, this first impression made him more satisfied, exactly the same as the information showed. Xia Yu leaned on the sofa in a comfortable sitting position, looked at Fujiwara Jiro, and said lightly: "Fujiwara Jiro, what should be said, others have also told you, so I won''t repeat it too much." "I called you over today to see what kind of person you are and whether you are suitable for this job." Xia Yu observed that after he finished speaking, Fujiwara Jiro became obviously nervous, and the hands on his knees subconsciously pulled up the trousers. "Your job is not irreplaceable. You also know that besides you, there are more people who are better than you in the entire island country. What do you think is your biggest advantage for this job?" After Xia Yu said, Fujiwara Jiro said without hesitation: "Loyal!" "I will be like the Akita Inu, and I will pay the utmost loyalty to you!" Hearing this analogy, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved. Among all the dogs in the island country, the most loyal is the Akita. This analogy of Fujiwara Jiro is very vivid. Of course, what satisfies Xia Yu most is another meaning expressed by Fujiwara Jiro. He is willing to be a dog of Xia Yu and unconditionally complete any instruction of Xia Yu. This is indeed a smart man! Xia Yu looked at him more pleasingly. "I''m very satisfied with your answer, this job is yours!" Xia Yu said with a smile. Fujiwara Jiro looked happy, got up and bowed deeply to Xia Yu: "Thank you, boss!" "Sit down!" Fujiwara Jiro sat down again and concentrated on waiting for Xia Yu''s order. Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The new company has not been registered yet, and the materials are ready. The company''s name is Sunshine Credit Co., Ltd., when you register in your name as the legal person of the company, I will give you an additional zero percent on the basis of the salary Point five equity." "After the Sunshine Credit Company is registered, dozens of companies will jointly inject 50 billion yen in. This money is the company''s start-up capital." "The recruitment of senior executives has been entrusted to Korn Ferry International in advance to screen. At that time, you go to the interview and go through the cutscene, and you can directly recruit middle and low-level personnel." "After the personnel are set up, the business personnel will collectively conduct capacity training. You just need to do the shop construction work in advance and open two hundred stores at once." "There will be someone in the community contact you when the time comes, and you can ask them directly for collection issues." "do you understand?" "understand!" Fujiwara Jiro straightened his waist and responded loudly. "Any question?" "temporarily unavailable!" After thinking about it, Fujiwara Jiro shook his head and said. "Okay, someone will contact you at that time. If you have something to do with him in the future, don''t take the initiative to contact me." "Yes!" "Well, you go back first, make good preparations, and officially work tomorrow." "Yes, boss, I''m leaving now."

Therefore, there will always be overdue situations. At this time, it is inevitable that special means are needed to collect payments. Therefore, in island countries, if the consumer credit industry wants to develop smoothly, it must have a certain connection with the community. All of the six major consortia in the island country have dogs. This is a very common situation. As for the community, Xia Yu is not lacking in strength, and the island nation does not mention the support behind the Luowang and Aegis security, Xia Lei alone has a lot of strength. Now Xia Lei is about to become the godfather of the island country''s literary and sports movies, and Tokyo has been heated by him. ... Regarding his layout in the island country, Xia Yu has many considerations. Consortiums are fundamental, there is no doubt about it, like societies are just a supplement to the edge. But there is another aspect that needs strong support, and that is the power of the political circle. Each of the six major consortia in the island country has a spokesperson and a supporting faction in the political arena. When it comes to island politics, that''s a complicated one. The National Assembly of the island nation is the highest authority and the sole legislature of the island nation. It is set up in accordance with the "Island Country Constitution" and consists of the Japanese House of Representatives and the Japanese Senate. Among them, there are 465 members of the House of Representatives. Each term is 4 years. The Prime Minister has the right to dissolve the House of Representatives and hold general elections. There are a total of 242 members of the Senate. Each term is six years, and half of them are re-elected every three years. They cannot be disbanded midway. In terms of power, the House of Representatives is superior to the Senate. The usual congress is held from January to June each year, and the session lasts for 150 days. At other times, interim and special congresses can be convened as needed. Members of the island nation¡¯s parliament can concurrently serve as cabinet members, and the prime minister (prime minister) is also elected by the parliament. The method is nominated by political parties and elected by members of the Senate and House of Representatives. Therefore, which majority party controls more than half of the seats, the president of the party can Served as prime minister. There are now more parties in the island country. The most famous ones are the Liberal Democratic Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Japanese Communist Party, the Civic Party and the Democratic Socialist Party, etc., and then there are a bunch of small parties. And most of these parties have split from the Liberal Democrats one after another in the past so many years. At this time, the Liberal Democratic Party dominates. Since the merger of the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party in 1955, the prime ministers of the island countries all came from the Liberal Democratic Party. The current island country Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone came from the Liberal Democratic Party. The Liberal Democratic Party represents the interests of the island country¡¯s monopoly bourgeoisie, advocates liberalism, opposes radicalism and socialism, and maintains and develops the current capitalist political, economic and social system. After the Liberal Democratic Party was established in 1955, it controlled the majority of seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives until the 1960s. However, in the latter half of the 1970s, there was a confrontation between conservative and reform, and the Liberal Democratic Party in the Senate and House of Representatives declined. . Especially now, in November last year, after the previous Prime Minister Yoshikuki Suzuki announced his resignation due to the global economic downturn and the setbacks in the reconstruction of the fiscal policy, Nakasone Yasuhiro took over. Currently, he is unable to stabilize the island nation¡¯s political circles. The influence of the Liberal Democratic Party and its reputation among the people have dropped a lot. By December of this year, the island nation¡¯s House of Representatives will hold a general general election. With the current status of the Liberal Democratic Party, it is very dangerous. In the previous life, this time the House of Representatives election, the Liberal Democratic Party also suffered defeat, did not take half of the seats, and was forced to jointly govern with the New Liberal Club. This was the first time the one-party ruling situation was broken since the establishment of the Liberal Democratic Party. Only in the next term, because the New Liberal Club only won six seats, it was declared disbanded and reintegrated into the Liberal Democratic Party. The island Liberal Democratic Party is in a very poor situation now, and it is Xia Yu''s best mobile meeting. Of course, it is not that Xia Yu intends to support other parties to seize power. This idea is not realistic, and he does not have this idea. Let¡¯s not say that the Liberal Democratic Party is the largest party in the island country and has the largest number of people. The key is that other parties are not in the interests of Xia Yu, a capitalist. The Liberal Democratic Party is a conservative party that injects capital into the economy freely, maintains and develops the current capitalist political, economic and social system, and represents the interests of capitalists and large consortia. On the other hand, the Island Socialist Party and the Japanese Communist Party are reforming parties and are opposed to the Liberal Democratic Party. They advocate breaking the status quo and reforming the political, economic and social systems. However, there are ideological differences between the Socialist Party and the Japanese Communist Party, and policy propositions are very different. The social foundation of the reform party is mainly trade union groups, intellectuals, employees and some small and medium-sized enterprises. Then there is the neutral party, also called the middle party political party. The parties that advocate the establishment of middle party politics mainly include the Komeito Party and the Democratic Socialist Party. Their formulations of middle way politics are quite different, but the common goal is to break the "five-five-year system" centered on the Liberal Democratic Party and the Socialist Party and end the Liberal Democratic Party''s one-party rule. It can be said that the enemy of the Liberal Democratic Party is all the political parties in the island country. If so, they can always dominate the hegemony, which shows their strength. The Liberal Democratic Party has many external enemies, as well as numerous factions and contradictions within it. Because of its interests and political opinions, the struggle has never stopped. After a few years, some people led the factions to form a separate small party. Xia Yu''s main purpose is to support one or more factions within the Liberal Democratic Party in order to gain a foothold in the island nation. In fact, the factions within the Liberal Democratic Party can also be divided into three major factions in the general direction, namely left-wing, right-wing and neutral faction. Among them, the neutrals are the least powerful, and the left and the right are not the same, but because Prime Minister Suzuki, who invested in the left, was forced to step down last year. At this time, Yasuhiro Nakasone who came to power was a right winger, so the morale of the right wing of the Liberal Democratic Party is growing, and the left wing is relatively maintained. Be low-key. Among the neutral factions, the most typical is the Miki faction with the smallest faction. It is headed by the former Prime Minister Takeo Miki and has 20 seats. When Miki took office, he had an ambiguous attitude towards China. The forces behind the Miki faction were mainly the Sanhe Foundation. The Nakasone faction was originally the Kono faction. Later, after the death of Kono Ichiro, most of the forces were split under the leadership of Nakasone Yasuhiro. Now it is gaining momentum and is a typical right-wing faction backed by the Mitsubishi consortium. The big right-wing factions also include the Kishi Nobusuke faction and the Fukuda Yasuo faction, supported by the Fuji Foundation. Among the leftists, the power is not small. The Tanaka faction is the most powerful. It''s a pity that Kakuei Tanaka resigned as prime minister because of a struggle within the party. Then in 1976, he was arrested in a Lockheed corruption and bribery case. He then withdrew from the Liberal Democratic Party and was elected as a member of the House of Representatives after bail. Although he did not have the identity of the Liberal Democratic Party, most of his original subordinates were united by him. It''s just that he is down after all, and he is not a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, so his influence has dropped a lot. What Xia Yu liked was not the Tanaka faction. The Tanaka faction was so powerful that even if he posted it, he wouldn''t be able to achieve anything. However, the interior of the Tanaka faction is also very complicated. What Xia Yu values ??is precisely the mainstay of the Tanaka faction today, the current Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance)-Takejototo, who is currently the mainstay of the Tanaka faction. Although Takekami is a Tanaka faction and belongs to the left wing, he is also a member of the Liberal Democratic Party. He has outstanding ability and unique insights into financial work. Therefore, in order to stabilize his position, Nakasone Yasuhiro gave the position of Daizo to Takekami. According to the historical trajectory, after Nakasone Yasuhiro stepped down in 1987, Takejototo successfully ascended the throne of prime minister. Yasuhiro Nakasone gave the position to Takejo, not because of his conscience to discover or train successors, but because he had to do it for the Liberal Democratic Party not to split. The reason for this is because Takesami wanted to be prime minister and reached the pinnacle of politics, but he was restricted by Tanaka Kakuei. Now Takejoe has the heart to run for the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, but Tanaka has been restricting Takejoe. Tanaka Kakuei disagreed, and the power of his faction would naturally not vote for Takekami in the party. As a result, Takejoyuki was forced to set up the Founding Council in early 1985, with more than forty members, and took advantage of Tanaka Kakuei''s illness in February of the same year to step up its expansion. Then, in July 1987, he formally established the Takeshita Sect Jingshihui, recruited all the people from the Tanaka Sect, and wooed others to form the largest faction in the party in one fell swoop. The strongest, he chose to separate from the Liberal Democratic Party without being elected. Nakasone Yasuhiro could only designate him as the 12th president of the Liberal Democratic Party. He finally won the support of the Liberal Democratic Party and succeeded in taking office. So at this time, Takekami Nobori''s ambition was there, but it was still a lot short of fire. There is still Kakuei Tanaka on his head, and he does not have enough resources to cultivate his direct lineage and win allies. Without the support of large consortiums and capital, even if Takekami is now the prime minister of Tibet, accumulating resources is still time-consuming and laborious, and there is a huge political risk. Corruption has a bigger risk in the future. So at this time, Xia Yu''s think tank judged that Takejogashi was also waiting for someone to give him strong support, but it had been struggling to wait. If Xia Yu jumped out to give him support, it would be difficult for Takejoe to refuse! Unless he has no ambition! But how can a person without ambition become the prime minister of an island country? ... However, although Xia Yu made up his mind to support Zhu Shangden, he did not plan to show up at the beginning, which would easily make Zhu Shangden vigilant and even afraid to bite. Furthermore, his island country consortium has not yet taken shape, and he cannot give Takejotsu a sufficient deterrent, and the effect of obtaining the initiative is relatively poor. Therefore, at this time, other people can only come forward. The most suitable one is undoubtedly Matsumoto Yu, the president of Nomura Securities! ... According to the plan, for the sake of concealment, Yu Matsumoto did not contact Takekami Nobori, who is the chief minister, but the current Keizo Obuchi. Obuchi Keizo and Takejoto''s direct disciple, Takejoto has a relationship with him as a master and father. Obuchi Keizo¡¯s father, Mitsuhei Obuchi, and Takejototo were friends who were born on the same month and the same day in the same year. Even Obuchi Keizo¡¯s house was built next to Takejototo¡¯s house on the bank of Lake Kawaguchi. My family has been a neighbor for decades! Before Takekami''s son grew up, Takekami spent a lot of resources on Obuchi Keizo, and he was very attentive to him. Obuchi Keizo was also Takekami''s iron confidant. That night, in the quiet box of a Japanese food store in Tokyo, Matsumoto Yu and Obuchi Megumi sat face to face, enjoying an exquisite dinner amidst the dancing music of singer and dancer. After listening to the music and enjoying the dance for half an hour, Matsumoto Yu waved his hand to signal these people to go down, the Mi Meng in Obuchi Kesan''s eyes cleared, and a secret voice came in his heart, and the spirit of twelve minutes was up. "Obuchi-san, please come out if I wasted your time tonight. I have a good thing to tell you." "To be more precise, I want to tell you that you will tell the Tibetan Minister." Matsumoto Yu put his hands on his legs and said solemnly. Obuchi Megumi''s pupils shrank slightly, surprised. As a very young member of the Liberal Democratic Party, he has a lot of people looking for him. He thought that Matsumoto was looking for him, but he didn''t expect that he was looking for his master Takejoden. He flashed in his mind the detailed information of Nomura Securities that he had seen in the afternoon, and then contacted the position of Master Takezhang, he was very cautious. Nomura Securities Co. was caught in the turmoil before. Although it has subsided more than half of it now, it must have internal problems. Is it because it wants to take advantage of Takegami¡¯s position to do something? Keizo Obuchi asked cautiously: "Matsumoto-kun, although I am familiar with Dazang, I have no right to interfere in any of his decisions, nor do I have the qualifications. I can only pass on it for him." Matsumoto Yudan smiled and said, "Obuchi-kun has been worrying a lot. It is indeed a very good thing for Takekami-kun." Obuchi Keizan''s heartstrings were still tight, and she said concisely, "Please speak!" Matsumoto said slowly: "Nomura Securities has no problem. What the outside world sees is just the appearance. In fact, our company is very healthy." "Kun Takekami entered the interior for the first time in 1964 and served as Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary, and has served in the cabinets of many prime ministers for 16 years!" "Although I am currently serving as the Minister of Tibet, I have been in this position for more than three years, and the space for going further is very narrow." Keizo Obuchi was already aware of the problem at this time, and Matsumoto was actually talking about the political path of Takegami Too, could it be... At this moment, his breathing could not help but was slightly rapid, and his energy was highly concentrated, for fear of missing something. Observing the change in Obuchi Keizo''s expression, Matsumoto was certain in his heart, and his speaking speed slowed down again. "I also know that Takekami has been severely fettered within the Liberal Democratic Party. He is a very capable person, but he is bound by chains." "To break free of this chain requires tremendous support." "After breaking free of the chains, if there is no greater strength to support, it will have a huge impact on the present and the future." "Our Nomura Securities Company and some companies happen to have a lot of resources nowhere to be used, and we are now hesitating." Speaking of this, Matsumoto Yu said nothing, deliberately whipping Obuchi Keizo''s appetite. Keizo Obuchi knew Matsumoto Yu¡¯s intentions but when it came to Takejoto¡¯s future, it was also related to his future. So after he pondered for a moment, he actively asked: "Matsumoto-kun, I don¡¯t know except for expensive Outside the company, what other companies are there?" Matsumoto Yu showed a mysterious smile, shook his head and said, "I can''t talk about this." "I can only say that the resources we jointly possess are beyond your imagination." "The election for the House of Representatives will be held every four years at the end of the year. If this opportunity is missed, we can only wait for 1987..." "Four years, how many four years in life..." At this time, Keizo Obuchi''s thoughts were in confusion. PS: The island country¡¯s political arena is messy, and the various relationships are intricate, and the heads of the data investigation will explode. In addition, at 8pm on Saturday, November 14th, the first batch of Gannan navel oranges will be drawn. The opportunity is not to be missed. Please hurry up and get into the skirt! v3 Chapter 1214: Independent? Latest website: Yes, four years, it''s really not short. How many four years are there in life? Today, Takejototo is 59 years old, and this year is definitely too late. If you don''t accumulate your strength now, you will be 63 years old after four years. If it hasn''t gone up by then, it will have to wait another four years. Or pray that the prime minister from the Liberal Democratic Party will also step down and seek succession. But to succeed, you also need enough supporters. Without enough power, why should you succeed? Now Takekami is still being held down by Kakuei Tanaka, and he can''t control his autonomy, let alone the leader of a faction. How can he compete with other factions? If Takekami cannot go up, then as a disciple of Takekami, it is difficult for other people to support him to go up. This again involves his political career. Now he is 46 years old. Among the members of the parliament with him, he is walking slowly, and when his master Takejoyoshi is the same age as him, he has already entered the cabinet. So he must also prepare in advance! If you have the support of a large-scale company like Nomura Securities, you don¡¯t need dozens of companies, even if only a few companies are willing to fully support Takeshangden, it will be enough to improve the strength and foundation of Takeshangden. Have great confidence to develop allies and train the backbone of the party. a long time¡­¡­ Keizo Obuchi''s thinking gradually became clear, and his mood gradually calmed down. He straightened his glasses, and said solemnly to Junpei Hyuga, "Junpei-kun, I will pass on you and your friends to Takekami-kun as they were." Junping Hyuga smiled and nodded: "Obuchi-san, then I will trouble you." After all, he took out two business cards from his pocket, handed them to Obuchi Keizo, and said, "Obuchi-kun, this is my personal business card, with my satellite encrypted landline number on it." "You or Obuchi-kun can contact me through this number!" Keizo Obuchi solemnly accepted the two business cards and said, "Okay, thank you!" "this is my name card!" After putting the business card in the inner pocket of the suit, Keizo Obuchi took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Junhei Hyuga with both hands: "Junhei-san? Is this my business card? Please accept it." ... After the banquet, Chunping Hitou returned home and reported to Xia Yu through an encrypted phone. And Keizo Obuchi was thinking about it all night at home? The next day he went to work during the day to think about this? He finally cleared his mind. Then in the evening, he brought fruits and small gifts to visit Zhukhangden at home. "Teacher? I''m here!" "What other gifts are you bringing, come and sit down!" Seeing Obuchi Keizo''s arrival? A happy smile appeared on Takegami''s doll''s face? He greeted his lover over. (Takegami is indeed a baby face, you can Baidu Takeshita yourself) "Is there much work pressure during this time?" "I haven''t encountered any major problems?" After Obuchi Keizo sat down, Takejotsu asked with concern. Keizo Obuchi shook his head and said, "Teacher, work pressure is not too high? I have also grown up in my work? Although I have encountered some problems, I can solve them by myself." Hearing Obuchi Keizo''s words, Takejotsu showed a gratified smile and smiled cheerfully: "That''s good, you have a lot of potential? As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be able to surpass me in the future!" Megumi Obuchi said humbly: "The teacher will always be my guiding light? I just want to follow you and receive your teaching." Although Takehime was happy in his heart, he pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "You can''t think so? You surpassed me, it will only prove that my teaching to you is useful." ... After chatting for a while? Takesami Teng took the initiative to ask: "Meizo? You said there is something very important to tell me? What is it?" Keizo Obuchi''s smile quickly faded, and after taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "Teacher, last night, Junhei Hito, the president of Nomura Securities, asked me out for dinner. We talked for a long time." Nomura Securities Company! Takesami''s brows frowned slightly, his expression became serious, and he pondered for a while and asked, "Is it about Junpei Hyuga or the Sanhe Foundation?" As for the six major consortiums and major families in the island country, Takejoto has a certain understanding, especially for the six major consortia, he will pay attention to the latest situation from time to time. He knew very well that after World War II, the emperor was sanctioned by Europe and the United States. The royal family''s rights in island countries have been reduced. The politics of island countries have become consortium politics, and politicians without capital support cannot become prime ministers. He has also been trying to get the full support of a certain consortium, but has been unsuccessful. The consortium¡¯s support has all gone to Kakuei Tanaka, the faction leader. And the Sanhe Foundation is now fully supporting the Miki Sect, and suddenly found Keizo Obuchi, could it be... Just as Takekami''s heart fluctuated, he was immediately poured cold water by Obuchi Keizo. Keizo Obuchi shook his head and said, "Last night, he didn''t mention the Sanhe consortium, only Nomura Securities." Hearing this, Takejoe Nobori couldn''t help expressing regret. The gap between a Nomura Securities Company and the entire Sanhe Consortium is too big... "What is the main purpose of Junpei Hyuga?" Due to disappointment, Takejoto''s questioning tone became somewhat casual. However, Obuchi Keizo''s next answer refreshed him. "Teacher, Junping Hyuga wants me to tell you that they, Nomura Securities and other companies, have a lot of resources and are considering them." "As for the resources, he didn''t say, he just told me very positively that their resources were beyond our imagination." "beyond imagination¡­¡­" Takekami squinted, chewing the word in his mouth. Although his eyes were squinted, it seemed that the light in his eyes was getting brighter. Nomura Securities Co. and those unknown companies are preparing to invest heavily in politics, and they are obviously looking at themselves as a person without the support of the consortium. After thinking about it for a long time, Takejotto suppressed some surging emotions in his heart, and asked again: "In addition to these, what else did Junkai Hyuga say? You tell me all!" "Yes!" "Junping Hyuga said that he knows that your current position is a bit embarrassing. Among the Tanaka faction, it is difficult for you to get ahead. You need sufficient support to break the chains." "And he also mentioned the House of Representatives election at the end of the year, saying that if you don''t seize the opportunity this time, you will have to wait another four years." "Finally, he gave me two personal business cards with his satellite-encrypted landline number, saying that if you or I have something to do, you can make this call." After speaking, Obuchi Keizo took out his business card from his pocket, handed it over, Takekami Tengten immediately received it. After seeing this business card with only one name and one number for a few seconds, Takejotto put it aside. From his actions, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this business card. After thinking about it for a long time, Takegami looked at Keizo Obuchi who was waiting quietly, and asked, "Keizo, tell me your opinion." Obuchi Keizo has long been accustomed to the teacher¡¯s teaching method. He told the results of his thoughts last night and today during the day: "Teacher, I think Junping Hyuga and the forces behind him want to support you. Build an intimate relationship with you." "It''s just that they haven''t made up their minds completely, obviously they want to take the initiative and let you take the initiative to find them." "Moreover, from his attitude, he hopes that you will be independent from the Tanaka faction and form your own faction separately to prepare for the future election for prime minister." "I think they care about the last point most." "Teacher, I understand this." Takekami Takashi showed admiration, and said, "You are analytically right, and their purpose should be these." "only¡­¡­" Speaking of this, Takejoyado did not go on. He got up, walked over to the bed, opened the curtains, and looked at the stars through the glass. He couldn''t calm down. He understands the concerns of Junping Hyuga and others. If it is him, he will not choose to invest in a politician without dominance and complete freedom, because this represents a risk for capitalists. So now he is also facing a choice. Is the time to stand on his own? Just being a Nomura Securities Company can''t make him determined, and his influence is not enough! I just don¡¯t know, which companies are behind Nomura Securities? How many resources can be put out! The latter is the most important! This involves the prime minister''s election system. The prime minister is the president of the majority party with more than half of the votes in Congress, and the key to the party''s president is the number of seats occupied by the faction in Congress. Factions with a large number of seats are naturally able to suppress other factions and stand out as the president of the party. So the most important thing is the seats in Congress. According to the "Island Constitution", the Congress is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, which is clearly different from other European and American countries. The Senate has 242 seats, and the term of office is as long as six years. It is re-elected half every three years, making elections more difficult. The House of Representatives is different, with 465 members of the House of Representatives, each serving for four years without the Prime Minister dissolving the House of Representatives. Among these 465 members of the House of Representatives, the rights are equal, and the election method is to adopt a parallel election system of small constituencies and proportional representation. The first category is 295 members, elected by small constituencies, corresponding to the island nation divided into 295 constituencies based on the population of prefectures, and each district elects one member with the most votes and one-sixth of the total votes. More than one candidate is elected. The second category is 180 parliamentarians. According to the election of proportional representation, the island nation is divided into 11 proportional constituencies. Each proportional constituency has 6 to 29 seats according to the population. These seats are allocated according to the proportion of votes obtained by political parties. In the election, voters over the age of 20 cast two ballots, one for candidates in small electoral districts and the other for supporting parties. The voting results in the small constituency directly led to the election of the candidate with the most votes. In the proportional representation constituency, the political parties will put forward a list of multiple candidates in advance, and they will be confirmed in turn according to the ratio of votes. Since candidates can repeatedly run for elections in small electoral districts and proportionally representative electoral districts, all political parties list important party candidates on the proportional representative list to ensure that they are elected. It can also be seen from this electoral system that the 180 seats of parliamentary elected in proportional elections not only have to compete with other parties, but also compete with the same party in the party to obtain nomination within the party and be included in the list of proportional representatives. The candidate who enters the list depends on the strength of the major factions, that is, the inner part of the cake. The Liberal Democratic Party has the greatest pressure due to its extremely large membership. So for these 180 seats, Takejoyoshi is able to ensure that he is on the list of representatives, but it is too difficult for him to support his direct line. So for him, the best way is to let his direct line to participate in the election of the 295 parliamentarians. In this way, sufficient resources are needed. For example, enough financial resources to hold various activities to show the support of voters. For example, there is enough media exposure to let voters know about themselves and their political opinions. Another example is that there are enough companies and organizations in local constituencies to canvass for them. Wait a minute, anyway, all sides need support. After all, these 295 members of parliament must not only compete with their colleagues in the party, but more importantly, compete with other political parties and organizations. Don''t burn too much resources! However, compared with the 180 seats that need to be nominated by the party, the 295 members elected by the seat of parliament are elected by hands-on combat and do not need to owe favors from other factions in the party. As long as their own people run successfully, It is an absolute faction lineage! Takekami wants to build his own faction. The 295 seats in the House of Representatives in December this year are his best opportunity! It is now April, and there are only 8 months of preparation time left before the general election in December, and the time is not long. These 8 months are extremely important for people with low visibility and exposure. It is a pity to waste every day! And if he really wants to stand on his own, the time left for him is even shorter. Because he needs to persuade people to stand on his own with him and determine his own organization system. He also needs to find enough candidates to participate in the election, each of which requires a lot of time and energy. Thinking of this, there was a wave of waves in Takekami''s heart just as he recovered slightly. "call¡­¡­" The thoughtful Zhu Shangdeng touched his pocket to smoke, but found that the cigarette was not on his body, but on the coffee table. Obuchi Keizo, who came to his side at some unknown time, immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to Takekamito, and slightly bent down to respectfully lit it for him. The worried Takerami did not say any polite words, took a hard breath, and then exhaled it for a long time, covering his face with white smoke. Keizo Obuchi could feel the pressure and suffering of Master. He, the person who is not the most direct benefit to others, couldn''t sleep all night last night, and he was even more unintentional to work during the day. What''s more? After a moment of silence, Obuchi Keizo said, "Teacher, no matter what you choose, I will always follow your steps." Takekami turned his head, UU reading looked at Keizo Obuchi with a firm look, and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "Keizan, your teacher always knows." After that, he patted Obuchi Keizante on the shoulder, and said, "Whether it is for me or you, the teacher will carefully consider this matter." "You go back tonight, I''ll think about it." "At that time there will be results, I will tell you the first time." "Ok!" "Then teacher, I''ll go back first. You should rest earlier and pay more attention to your body." After Keizo Obuchi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Takekami Tonichi, then walked to the sofa, picked up his coat, and left Takekami''s home. This night, for Takejo Nobori, is destined to be a sleepless night... PS: On November 14th, at 8 o''clock on Saturday night, the WeChat group will hold a lucky draw and give back activity. Don¡¯t forget to participate. v3 Chapter 1215: Huge media territory in the island country "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Junping Hyuga is here on the Raiders Take, and Xia Yu is not relaxed. After all, Junping Hyuga told Obuchi Keizo that the resources were beyond their imagination. To be honest, if you can''t take it out, it''s just a small thing to be ashamed. The key is that you can''t let Takekami Teng completely rely on him. As for the three types of resources that Zhushanghang needs, the funds are the most worthwhile. Xia Yu is too lazy to think about it. No matter how much Zhushanghang needs, as long as he dares to speak, Xia Yu dares to send it in a reasonable way. There, or use it for him. As for the number of votes that large enterprises and social groups can influence, the former has shortcomings, but there is no other way to achieve the same effect; the latter can directly fund various local groups to gain influence. Both types can be resolved, so the most urgent one is media resources. Speaking of this, we have to mention the situation of the island country''s media industry. The media field includes newspapers, magazines, television stations and radio stations. In terms of newspapers and magazines, the island country is a country with a highly developed media industry, and the per capita consumption of newspapers ranks first in the world! Today, there are tens of thousands of newspapers in the island. The newspapers of major political parties and social organizations are not mentioned. Business newspapers are divided into three categories. They are comprehensive newspapers, professional newspapers and leisure consumer newspapers. Comprehensive newspapers are divided into national and local in terms of scale and scope of distribution. There are five national newspapers, namely the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun and the Sankei Shimbun. The total circulation of these five newspaper giants accounted for 50% of the total circulation of major newspapers across the country last year! Very monopolistic! These five newspapers are now in the top ten of the world''s daily circulation of newspapers. A glimpse of the fact that the newspaper industry in the island country is developed. Local newspapers are generally divided into regional newspapers, county newspapers and town tabloids. Regional newspapers mainly include "Nishinihon Shimbun", "Chongji Shimbun", "Hokkaido Shimbun", "Osaka Shimbun" and so on. Professional newspapers involve all walks of life and specialize in reporting professional knowledge. Their sales are generally small, and they are mainly subscribed by social elites. Consumer leisure newspapers are mainly sports and entertainment newspapers, such as "Tokyo Sports Daily", "Sports Daily" and "Island Entertainment News", etc. This consumer leisure newspaper accounts for 12% of the total circulation of newspapers in the country. . In addition to newspapers, paper media also includes magazines. The island country currently has more than 20,000 magazines with an annual circulation of more than 5 billion copies! Of course, more than 20,000 magazines are also classified, but the majority of sales are more than 3,000 magazines issued to the society. Some of this type of magazines are published by media groups with large newspapers as the core, and some are published by media groups. Published by the company or a separate magazine, mainly entertainment and popular magazines. As for the two areas of TV station and radio station, the latter can be even less concerned, and more attention should be paid to the field of TV stations. In this field, it is divided into wireless TV stations and cable TV stations. Before World War II, the island government positioned broadcasting media as a national undertaking, under the unified jurisdiction of the government, but after World War II, the United Nations Supreme Command of the Occupation Forces promulgated the "Three Laws of Radio Waves" on island nation broadcasting-the "Radio Wave Law" and the "Broadcast Law" ¡±And the ¡°Radio Wave Supervision Committee Establishment Law¡±, and at the same time abolished the original ¡°Wireless Telecommunications Law¡± of the island country. The promulgation of the "Three Laws on Radio Waves" restricts the island government''s supervision of the media, guarantees the freedom of speech of radio stations, and recognizes commercial broadcasting. As a result, the television broadcasting industry in island countries has developed rapidly. At present, there are many large and small private TV stations, divided into cable TV stations and wireless TV stations. Some of these local cable TV stations only rebroadcast programs, and some also broadcast self-run programs. The number of cable TV subscribers is as high as tens of millions, but they account for less than a quarter of the total subscribers. Compared with cable TV stations with a lower threshold, the number of private wireless TV stations with a higher threshold is even smaller, with only 129. At present, the island country TV stations are basically formed into TV networks to develop, not to mention local networks, there are six national TV news networks! They are under the direct management of the island nation¡¯s government and are the island nation¡¯s only public radio and television station, also known as the island nation¡¯s broadcast news network. It is the island nation¡¯s largest radio and television organization. Except for this, the other five television networks in the island nation are all privately operated. They are JNN TV News Network which owns TBS TV station (daily broadcasting). TXN TV News Network, which owns TX (TV Tokyo). FNN TV News Network with CX (Fuji Television). ANN TV News Network, which owns NET (TV Asahi). NNN Television News Network which owns NTV (Island National Television). The five TV news networks correspond exactly to the five newspaper giants! Among them, the owner of TBS TV station is the "Daily News" group, behind which is the Mitsubishi consortium. TX TV station is owned by the "Island Economic News" group, backed by the Mitsui Consortium. CX TV station also owns the "Sankei Shimbun" Fuji Sankei Group, backed by the Fuji Consortium. Owning the NET TV station is the Asahi Shimbun Group, backed by the Sumitomo Foundation. The NTV TV station is owned by the "Yomiuri Shimbun" Group, which is jointly owned by the Sanhe Foundation and the Daiichi Kanye Foundation. So speaking of it, the media industry is also dominated by the six major consortia of island nations! However, the six major consortiums of the island countries finally failed to clean up all the markets. If you don¡¯t touch the market share of the six major consortiums in the island countries, there is still enough room to grow at least two or more giants of the same level. Once they can grow up, they may be able to get better by competing with these five major media giants. s future. ... In order to properly lay out the media industry in the island country, Xia Yu asked Yan Wenhan to rush from Xiangjiang to the island country Tokyo. That afternoon, Yan Wenhan came to Xia Yu''s mansion in Tokyo in a hurry. "Chairman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." "It''s not a problem, Wenhan, you came here with hard work!" "No hard work, this is what I should do." Xia Yu smiled and greeted Yan Wenhan to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea. Yan Wenhan hurriedly took it flattered, and the exhaustion in his heart was gone. Xia Yu was not in a hurry, and let Yan Wenhan take a break with tea. But Yan Wenhan wouldn''t forget the business, just after drinking a cup of tea, he took out a stack of materials carefully prepared in Xiangjiang from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu. "Chairman, according to your request, I have compiled statistics on the news and media companies that we directly control or secretly control. There are detailed information in this." "Well, you drink tea and some fruit first, I will tell you after reading this." Xia Yu took it with a smile, leaned on the sofa, and looked at it leisurely. Jiuding Culture Media Group and Jiuding Newspaper Company are already on the right track. Without Xia Yu''s concern, Yan Wenhan and others can lead the company to develop on the right track. Since more than two years ago, Yan Wenhan has already penetrated the media industry in the island country. The distribution of newspapers such as "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily" to island countries is only the most superficial action. In the dark, Yan Wenhan and others have already formulated a comprehensive penetration plan and achieved great results. The first is the field of paper media, including newspapers, magazines and books. Needless to say the books, Gavin Peter runs Jiuding Book Publishing Company and has acquired many publishing companies. At the same time, he has gradually increased his holdings in the island country Kinokuniya Bookstore and Junjiudo Bookstore, using the injected funds to make the two The bookstore is expanding. The expansion of these two bookstores in the past two years is the craziest. The number of bookstores alone has firmly stood among the top ten bookstores in the island country. Among them, Kinokuniya Bookstore has leapt to the second place in the island country in terms of the number of stores. Bit! In the field of magazines, the four magazines of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd.''s "Military Friend" and "Meng Huan Rui Ran" and many subordinate comic magazines are not counted. Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Book Publishing House together have a total of 439 magazines. As for newspapers, the results are even more obvious. The island nation¡¯s five major newspapers are well-known in the world, but under these five major newspapers, there are many strong local newspaper groups. Yan Wenhan''s goal is these local newspaper groups. The most representative one is the Chunichi Shimbun. Although it is a local newspaper, the circulation of its flagship newspaper, Chunichi Shimbun, is higher than that of Sankei Shimbun. Its circulation ranks fifth in the island nation, and it is in the middle of the island nation. Especially has a great subscription rate. It is said to be "Chu-Japan Shimbun", which sounds ambiguous. In fact, it was formed by the merger of "New Aichi" and "Nagoya Shimbun" of the island country. The full name is "Chubu Island Shimbun" and then abbreviated as "China Daily News. In addition to the "Chuji Shimbun", the Chunichi Shimbun also owns the "Hokuriku Chuichi Shimbun", "Tokyo Shimbun", "Chuji Shimbun", "Nikkan Fukui Prefecture", "Chuji Sports", "Tokyo Daily newspapers such as "China-Japan Sports", and also have a cross-border island professional baseball team-China-Japan Dragon baseball team. Yan Wenhan allowed Jiuding Newspaper Group to overtly or secretly hold as much as 43.5% of the equity of the China-Japan News Agency after continuous cannibalization in the past two years. In addition, over the past two years, it has explicitly or implicitly controlled 36.7% of Jingxin SBS Group''s equity. Jingxin SBS Group not only owns the Shizuoka Shimbun, one of the top newspapers in the island nation and the largest newspaper in Shizuoka Prefecture, but also owns SBS Television, which is a TV and radio station with Shizuoka Prefecture as its broadcasting area. In addition, it holds 33.9% of the shares of Hokkaido Shimbun, 100% of the shares of Tokyo Sports News, and 37.1% of the shares of Nishishima Kuni News. In addition to these big local newspapers, there are also other small local newspapers totaling 286 copies! Using the Jiuding News Agency, which has been installed all over the island country, these newspapers are well developed. Of course, in order to better distribute newspapers, Yan Wenhan also established a newspaper distribution network called "All-day Newspaper Store" in the island country. It has 5,369 distribution stores for distributing his own newspapers and magazine. Newspapers that are not yours, such as "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun", are absolutely impossible to appear in all-day newspaper shops. The 5,369 distribution outlets of all-day newspaper stores rank fourth in the island nation in terms of number, more than Sankei Shimbun and Keizai Shimbun, but more than the Yomiuri Shimbun The amount of "Mainichi Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun" are much less. The "Yomiuri Shimbun" group with the largest sales volume currently has more than 8,500 distribution stores in the entire island country. The distribution network is dense. It is this huge distribution network that supports the "Yomiuri Shimbun" now the largest in the island country. , Is also the world''s largest daily circulation! This has to mention the island country¡¯s newspaper distribution system, the most distinctive of which is the newspaper home delivery system! Each major newspaper in the island country has its own independent distribution network, and has set up specialty stores across the country, adopting the method of household delivery, door-to-door subscription and newspaper delivery. The delivery clerk delivers the report to the household on time twice a day in the morning and evening. At the end of the newspaper¡¯s distribution, there are both direct sales stores and exclusive sales stores. In some remote places, there are also sales stores of various newspapers. In the unique cultural transmission of the Orientals with interpersonal relationships as the bond, the newspaper home delivery system of the island countries plays a very important role in stabilizing their respective readers. In the entire island country¡¯s newspaper sales, the proportion of home delivery through specialty stores has been over 93%, while the proportion of retail at newsstands has been between 5% and 6%. The proportion of sending is only 0.5%. Therefore, Yan Wenhan built a huge all-day newspaper store when he did not have a national daily newspaper, and he was accumulating the foundation. "Jiu Ding Daily", "Feng Yun Daily" and other newspapers from Hong Kong, can also take root in the island country ~ www.novelhall.com ~ all-day newspaper stores have contributed. However, in order to build an all-day newspaper store, a lot of money was spent, but it was definitely worth the money. In addition to paper media, it is the field of television broadcasting. A long time ago, Xia Yu spent 8.8 billion yen to buy a 10% stake in the island TV station NTV held by Sanhe Bank. This equity was placed under the umbrella of Global Satellite TV as a link for Global Satellite TV and Island TV station cooperation. Then in the process of Jiuding Newspaper Group¡¯s acquisition of newspapers in the island country, local newspapers generally cross-share shares with local TV or radio stations due to the characteristics of the island country. Therefore, Jiuding Newspaper Group also holds 13 local wireless TV stations. The equity of 36 local cable TV stations, and the equity of 47 local commercial radio stations. However, from the data, Xia Yu found that few of these shares accounted for more than one-third. And some of the TV stations are also affiliated to the five major TV news networks. ... After reading all the information, Xia Yu showed a satisfied look on his face. "Wenhan, you are doing very well. Before you know it, you have already deployed such a large net in the island country, and it is well hidden, very good!" Yan Wenhan said humbly: "It''s mainly because of the good guidance of the chairman, and you allow me to incur such a large cost." Xia Yu smiled and got used to Yan Wenhan''s modesty. He drank a sip of tea, his smile gradually reduced, and said with a serious face: "Wenhan, this time calling you over, you need to direct behind the scenes and do two important things." PS: The draw at 8 o¡¯clock tonight has been successfully concluded. The second phase will be held in December. There will also be 25 boxes of 250 kilograms of navel orange. Thank you! v3 Chapter 1216: Core TV station The latest website: "Okay, Chairman, please give me an order!" Yan Wenhan leaned forward slightly in a listening posture, focusing on Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately ordered: "The first thing is to create the sixth largest newspaper giant in the island country, and its name is Quanri Broadcasting Corporation." "The largest local news agency is the China-Japan News Agency, which controls 43.5% of the equity, but this is far from enough." "I need you to acquire all the nearly 300 local newspapers that you have invested or acquired so far. Even if you can''t hold 100%, you must at least obtain absolute controlling rights." "In addition, continue to purchase some local newspapers, and then integrate the assets of these newspapers to form them. Each local newspaper will allocate 65% of the parent company¡¯s equity according to the size of the assets, and the remaining 35% of the equity. And the equity of local newspapers must be handled properly." "All-day newspaper stores are also incorporated into all-day broadcasts, and continue to expand the number of stores, build a good home delivery distribution network, and strive to cover every town in the island country!" "The most important thing is to build the sixth national newspaper in the island country. If it''s named, it''s "All Day News"!" "In order to break the monopoly of the five major national newspapers such as "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun", you can let All-day Broadcast integrate all resources to build it. While ensuring the quality of the newspaper, you don''t need to care about the company''s losses and arrange an all-day newspaper. All newspaper couriers in the store will deliver the "All Day News" free of charge to all residents covered by the store for one year!" "Remember, the promotion of "All Day News" does not require much fanfare, and sales do not need to be announced. I don''t care about losses. What I need is to increase influence as quickly as possible, understand?" Yan Wenhan looked stern and felt Xia Yu''s determination deeply. He nodded and replied loudly: "Chairman, I know what to do, please rest assured!" He is aware of the sales volume of "Yomiuri Shimbun", which currently ranks first in the island country. The daily circulation of the morning paper is about 9.2 million copies and the evening paper is about 4.5 million copies. The Zaobao and Evening News have a combined daily circulation of more than 13 million copies, ranking first in the world! If the "Janji Shimbun" requested by the chairman is delivered in a free amount of 15 million copies per day, at the current selling price of 30 yen per newspaper? That day would have to be distributed worth 450 million yen. Newspaper. A newspaper worth more than 160 billion yen has to be sent out in one year! Of course? Because the entire industry chain, such as printing and distribution, is doing it by itself, if the entire industry chain is not profitable, only the cost is calculated. Then the loss can be reduced to about half? More than 80 billion yen can be done, and converted into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rate? More than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars! This money is more than the value of "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun", and it is more than enough to buy a single national newspaper. But the problem is that money can''t be bought! The six major consortiums of the island nations do not lack this money at all? How could they sell their flagship newspapers, the core of their mouthpieces? Without the core flagship newspaper? The media giants have to be halved. Precisely because it is impossible to achieve, proactively issuing a takeover offer would be a surprise, so Xia Yu simply spent money to create a "All Day News" that he could completely control. One year of free delivery of newspapers to users, one year is enough for users to develop dependence and reading habits. One year later? Assuming that the daily circulation of 15 million can be converted into half? Then it will be enough to make "Jianji Shimbun" completely gain a foothold, and the ranking can still be at the bottom of the crane in "Sankei Shimbun" and "Island Economic News" Above. By then, with the support of the following large-scale local newspapers, full-day broadcasting can definitely become the sixth largest newspaper giant in the island nation! Seeing Yan Wenhan listened, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction? Continue to talk about the second thing. "The second thing is to create the sixth private television news network in the island nation!" As soon as this remark came out? Yan Wenhan frowned, feeling the pressure on his face. Did he know the situation of the island private television news network? That''s why he knew the difficulties. At the very least, a private TV news network? Needs a core TV station? And the core TV stations of the current five TV news networks? Want to get it through, he does not have enough confidence. He knows that he owns 10% of the shares of NTV TV, which belongs to the Yomiuri News Corporation, but he also knows about the ownership structure of NTV TV. In addition to the 10% equity held by its own Global Satellite TV, the management of NTV TV station holds 11.3% of the equity, the island country Industrial Bank holds 6.3% of the equity, and the island country Sun Kobe Bank Holds 5% of the equity. The remaining 66.9% of the equity is in the hands of the parent company Yomiuri News Corporation! This shareholding ratio has already exceeded the absolute holding line, so even if his side acquires all the shares the day before yesterday, there is no room for struggle. Xia Yu saw Yan Wenhan''s embarrassment. He smiled faintly and said, "Wenhan, do you find it difficult?" Yan Wenhan smiled bitterly and said honestly: "Yes, Chairman, it is too difficult." "We can establish a TV network and join the local TV stations. After all, we already hold the equity of 13 local wireless TV stations. If we find a way to increase our holdings and invest in a few more TV stations, we can satisfy the need to create TV news. Requirements of the Internet." "Even based on these 13 local wireless TV stations, the TV news network built is stronger than TXN TV news network, and will not be the bottom." "But the most important thing is to have a core TV station, which is the core of content production. At present, the powerful TV stations in Tokyo are in the hands of the five major media giants. It is too difficult to acquire." "If we re-create one, it will be very difficult, and I really don''t know much about the TV field, and I need more professional people to be responsible." It is rare to see that Yan Wenhan has so many reasons, Xia Yu knows that he is really not sure, otherwise it would not be so. Fortunately, Xia Yu Zhizhu was in his hands and had already considered this point. He smiled casually and said: "Wenhan, you don''t need to worry about the core TV station. I plan to buy NTV TV station of Yomiuri News Corporation." "The TV station business of the Yomiuri News Group and the NNN TV News Network it controls are driven by dual cores. In addition to NTV TV station, it also has Yomiuri TV station on which it started. So for the Yomiuri News Group, NTV TV station does not Not for sale!" "The acquisition is difficult, but I will deal with it." "Your task is mainly to acquire and control local TV stations." "By the way, we still need to select a creative and self-produced TV station in major cities such as Osaka or Nagoya among these local TV stations as the key support target. At that time, our news network will also be based on dual cores. drive." Hearing what Xia Yu said, most of the pressure on Yan Wenhan disappeared. Although other tasks were equally difficult, he thought it could be done anyway. "Chairman, I will follow your instructions." Yan Wenhan said respectfully. "Ok!" "Two requirements, one is hiding, and the other is efficiency." "You don''t want to come forward directly, just arrange for the right people from the island country to come forward. You control it behind the scenes, and the equity needs to be handled properly to ensure that it is a company in the island country no matter from which point of view it is viewed." "In addition, the end of this year is the general election for the House of Representatives of the island nation. I need the power of the media. You can understand the importance and speed up efficiency." "Okay, please rest assured! Guarantee to complete the task!" Yan Wenhan nodded his head and made a guarantee. ... In fact, Xia Yu does have certain confidence in acquiring NTV TV. NTV TV¡¯s parent company, Yomiuri Shimbun Group, is backed by the Sanhe Consortium and the Daiichi Kanyin Consortium. Previously, Sanhe Bank also held a 10% stake in NTV TV alone. Fukuhara Kazuya, the deputy manager of Sanhe Bank, was also You can sell it to Xia Yu. As for the NNN TV News Network, when it was established in April 1966, it had 18 TV stations to join. After more than ten years of development, there are currently 27 TV stations, ranking first in terms of scale. Among these 27 TV stations, except NTV TV and Yomiuri TV, which are directly controlled by Yomiuri News Corporation, only a small number of other TV stations have a stake of more than one-third of the shares, and most only hold a small amount of equity as a link. NNN TV News Network is only an organization. Without controlling all TV stations, Yomiuri News Group only has leadership over NNN TV News Network, but it does not mean that all affiliated stations of NNN TV News Network need it. Follow its advice. Because many franchise stations are not just the alliance of NNN TV News Network. For example, Fukui Broadcasting Station in Fukui Prefecture not only joined NNN TV News Network, but also ANN TV News Network. In addition, in order to enrich the programs, many TV stations will also purchase programs from the core TV stations of other TV news networks. The difference is that the price of non-allies will be more expensive. So to put it bluntly, the so-called five major television news networks are five coalitions centered on interests. As long as the interests are in place, dissolution can happen. To give the most direct example, as long as Xia Yu can acquire all the other 25 TV stations of NNN TV News Network except NTV TV and Yomiuri TV, it is completely possible for these 25 TV stations to withdraw. NNN TV News Net can announce its dissolution. The main reason why the Yomiuri Shimbun Group did not acquire the controlling shares of these TV stations was that it cost too much money, and the consortium behind it was unlikely to have so much money spent here. After all, controlling shares did not control the Yomiuri Shimbun Group. Necessary, there is no need to waste money. However, for Xia Yu, who is not bad for money, has a deeper strategy, and has always focused on stability, he does not need a loose alliance. What he wants is a TV news network that can implement his orders at critical moments! However, in order to increase the success rate of acquiring NTV TV station and hide himself, Xia Yu did not intend to let Jiuding Securities Company come forward. To come forward, there is still Nomura Securities Company! Of course there is another company-the island country Chiba Bank! As one of the largest banks in the island country, Chiba Bank, currently ranked 42nd in the island country¡¯s banking industry, is fully qualified to acquire NTV TV station, which will not lead to doubt. According to the division of labor, Chiba Bank acquired 6.3% of the shares held by the Island National Industrial Bank and 5.5% of the shares held by Sun Kobe Bank. And Nomura Securities Co., the core company of the Sanwa Consortium, came forward to acquire 66.9% of the shares held by Yomiuri News Corporation. As Nomura Securities, there is absolutely no resistance from the Sanhe Consortium. With the current close relationship between the Sanhe Consortium and the First Persuasion Consortium, as long as they are willing to pay a sufficient price, the First Persuasion Consortium may also let go. ! The Sanhe Consortium and the First Persuasion Bank Consortium would never have thought that Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was already in Cao Ying''s heart, and was digging a wall with a hoe! Things are similar to what Xia Yu predicted. Before the acquisition, Junping Hyuga first communicated with the president of the Sanshui Club and received the support of the Sanhe Foundation. After all, the Yomiuri Shimbun Group is only under the joint control of the Sanhe Consortium and the First Persuasion Bank Consortium, and it is not so handy in many cases. And if Nomura Securities can acquire NTV TV station, it means that in addition to the Yomiuri News Corporation¡¯s surprise, the Sanhe Consortium can have one more mouthpiece that is easier to use. Even if the influence is not as good as the Yomiuri News Corporation, it¡¯s better than nothing, no. ? After receiving the support of the Sanwa Foundation, Nomura Securities asked the chairman of the Sanshui Society to match up, and hosted a banquet for the chairman of the Sankin Society and the president of the Yomiuri Shimbun Group in the island country''s hot spring village and the sanctuary of Kanagawa. Four of them played golf at Hakoneen Golf Course during the day and enjoyed the extravagant service in the hot springs at night. In the end, faced with the extremely high purchase price of 100 billion yen from Junping Hyuga, the president of Yomiuri Shimbun Group and the chairman of Sanjinkai agreed. On the second day, Nomura Securities officially signed an agreement with Yomiuri Shimbun Group, and 100 billion yen of funds were fully realized on the same day. In order to reduce the impact, Nomura Securities Co. and Yomiuri Shimbun Group did not deliberately hold a press conference. Nomura Securities is progressing well, and Chiba Bank also encountered no resistance. Island National Industrial Bank and Sun Kobe Bank hold equity in NTV TV station. They have no intention of strategic investment. The purpose is only to preserve the value of funds. Therefore, in the face of the high premium offered by Chiba Bank, UU Read Shikoku Industrial Bank and Sun Kobe Bank all readily agreed. Chiba Bank spent a total of 16.2 billion yen to buy 11.3% of the shares of the two banks. The purchase premium is much lower than that of Nomura Securities. However, considering the huge amount of equity acquired by Nomura Securities Co., there is still a bonus for absolute controlling rights, which is normal. After the completion of the acquisition, Xia Yu actually controlled 88.7% of the shares of NTV TV station, and the remaining 11.3% of the shares were all in the hands of NTV TV station¡¯s management. This equity, Xia Yu let him go. Anyway, it will not affect his control. The management holds a small portion of the equity, and it has a more sense of belonging and a more active work. If there are disobedient senior management, they have absolute controlling rights. It can be sanctioned easily. PS: Like the previous two days, it is a big chapter. There are two events in the book review area, one monthly ticket event and one plot event, all with starting coins. Welcome everyone to participate! Thank you! v3 Chapter 1217: Perfect political puzzle When it comes to his own political path, Takejoden is very cautious. After thinking about it for a week, he made up his mind and dialed Junhei Hyuga''s private number. On the evening of April 14. Junpei Hyuga came to a quiet restaurant in Tokyo, and saw Takejoe Nogo and Obuchi Keizo in the top box. "Takegami-kun, Obuchi-kun, sorry to keep you waiting!" "We just arrived, Junping-jun, please sit down!" "Thank you!" Takekami and Obuchi Keizo got up and exchanged greetings with Junpei Hyuga, and then invited him to sit down. After ordering, the three drank tea and Obuchi Keizo showed off his Kungfu tea art. From his movements, we can see that he has a lot of research on Kung Fu tea. "Junhei-kun, Obuchi-kun has already told me all the circumstances, I wonder if you can tell me the specific situation?" "You also know that this matter has too much impact, so I have to be more cautious!" Takejotsu said solemnly to Junpei Hinata with a scorching gaze. Junpei Hyuga smiled and nodded: "Of course, we sincerely want to make a firm ally who can make friends." "Takegami-kun, I wonder if you have heard some wind in the past two days?" Takekami was taken aback, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "No, I don''t know what Junpei-kun is talking about?" Junping Hyuga said with a smile: "The island country TV station NTV has changed hands, just two days ago!" Both Takekami and Obuchi Keizo were surprised by the news. Takejoto asked: "Junhei-kun, I remember that Shikoku TV is the core TV station of the Yomiuri News Corporation, right? Yomiuri News Corporation sold this TV station alone?" Junpei Hyuga nodded affirmatively, "Although this is hard to believe, this is the truth." "You might as well take a look at this, this can''t deceive anyone." With that said, Junpia Hyuga took out a copy of the transaction contract with the Yomiuri Shimbun Group and handed it to Takejoyoshi. "How can I not believe Junpei-kun, I just think it''s too unbelievable!" Takekami said so, but he quickly took the copy from Junhei Hyuga. The transaction contract was clear at a glance, and Takejotsu soon saw the 66.9% equity and 100 billion yen in words, as well as the official seals of Yomiuri News Corporation and Nomura Securities and the signatures of relevant personnel. "Junping-jun, congratulations!" With a warm smile on his face, Takekami returned the document to Junhei Hyuga in congratulations. Junpei Hyuga took it and put it aside casually, then smiled lightly and introduced part of his own strength, which is also the most attractive media resource for Takejoto and others. "Kun Takekami, the island country TV station is only the most critical core TV station we have acquired, and it will be one of the cores for us to build the island country''s sixth largest private TV news network." "In addition to the Island TV Sky, we have also invested in and acquired hundreds of local TV stations and commercial radio stations." "And we also have hundreds of local newspapers, including "Chongji Shimbun", "Tokyo Shimbun", "Nishijima Shimbun", "Hokkaido Shimbun", "Shizuoka Shimbun" and other top local newspapers. Hundreds of newspapers have completely covered all areas of the island country, and every electoral district has a local newspaper." "Compared with the current Big Five, our media strength is only a national newspaper. If integrated, it is no worse than the Big Five." "If we had a national newspaper, it would be enough to compete with the Yomiuri News Corporation!" "It''s just that there is no need to integrate for the time being. It attracts too many eyes and it is not conducive to the election propaganda at the end of this year, right?" Speaking of this, Junpei Hyuga paused for a moment, looked at Takejoto Nobori and Obuchi Keizo who were shocked, and said with a chuckle: "And to be honest, although the five major national newspapers, including the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun, have great influence, they are scattered in the 295 electoral districts, and in fact they are not as influential as the local newspapers." "After all, these big newspapers have so much space, and most of them have to report non-local news, leaving little space for local propaganda. On the contrary, the propaganda space of local newspapers is larger and the canvassing effect will be better! " "Did you say so?" Takegami Nobori and Obuchi Keizo nodded deeply. Takejoe Den even smiled and said: "Junping Jun is justified. The local newspapers really have a larger audience, and the residents pay more attention to local news." "I didn''t expect you to have such a strong strength!" Regarding what Junpei Hyuga said, Takehime Nobo hasn''t calmed down yet. If Junping Hyuga is true, the hundreds of newspapers alone can give him unparalleled assistance. Together with those TV stations and radio stations, it is preparing to build the sixth largest civilian TV news network. The integration of newspapers and television networks is definitely the sixth pole of the island nation¡¯s media industry! As for the current five major media groups, they all support one or two factions, and their strengths are scattered. If he can have the support of a media giant at the same level, it is definitely enough for him to build a first-class faction, and it is very possible to surpass the Tanaka faction! He did not doubt whether what Junping Hyuga said was true. Just being able to buy the absolute controlling rights and operating rights of the island TV station from the Yomiuri News Corporation for 100 billion yen can reflect a lot of things. . It is precisely because of his understanding that Takeshang Nobori is excited, and the surprise has exceeded his expectations in the past week! As a result, the belly drafts he prepared for tonight are basically useless, and can only play on the spot! Junping Hyuga looked indifferent and smiled at Keizo Obuchi and said, "Takegami-kun, I told Obuchi-kun before that our strength and resources are absolutely beyond your imagination, and our determination is also extremely firm. " "Did you know that before this, we have screened the entire island nation''s political circles, spent nearly two years to observe, and finally selected a few people to make the final choice." This statement is false, but the effect is very good. It can be seen from the awe-inspiring expressions of Takekami Nobori and Obuchi Keizo. In an instant, the dominance came to Junpei Hyuga quietly, and because of the strength that Junpei Hyuga had shown earlier, Takejoe Noto and Obuchi Keizo were unable to take the dominance back. Obtaining Takejoto''s gaze, Obuchi Keizo suddenly asked curiously: "Junhei-san, do I know, besides my teacher, who else has received your approval?" Junpei Hyuga smiled and said, "This can''t be said, just like if others ask me, do you want me to tell you?" This rhetorical question left Keizo Obuchi speechless, and could only respond with a wry smile. Junpei Hyuga moved his gaze to Takekami Nobori again and asked, "Takegami-kun, I don¡¯t know. What do you think of our sincere cooperation?" Faced with the olive branch that Junpei Hyuga nakedly threw out, Takekami Nogo knew that he could no longer avoid it. He took a deep breath and said sternly: "Junping Jun, first of all, thank you for your recognition and expectation of my ability. This is what I am most honored as a politician!" Junpei Hyuga smiled slightly, and continued to wait quietly for Takegami to follow. "What I talked about tonight not only involves my personal future, but also my friends and people who trust me. I am responsible to all of them." "Moreover, I have to have the confidence to convince them, let them believe in me, follow me, and stand by my side!" "So I hope that the two of us can be open and honest, Junpingjun, how much support can you give me?" After speaking, Zhushan looked at Junping Hyuga with scorching eyes, and his attention reached the peak. The same goes for Obuchi Keizo next to him, his waist straightened, and it seems that he even clenched his fists because of tension. Junpei Hyuga also sat up straight, looking at Takejoto to show his sincerity. He said in a deep voice, "Takegami-kun, the resources in the media field have already told you about it. Let me talk about some details." "Although we do not have a national newspaper, as long as you become our partner, the top newspapers such as Chunichi Shimbun, Shizuoka Shimbun, Hokkaido Shimbun, Nishishima Kuni Shimbun, etc. can give you their full support." "The daily circulation of news under these newspapers, such as the Chunichi Shimbun, is as high as 3.88 million copies, the Tokyo Shimbun has a daily circulation of 820,000 copies, and the Hokkaido Shimbun has 2.03 million copies. "Shizuoka Shimbun" 1.55 million copies, "Nishijima Shimbun" 1.21 million copies." "It can be said that it doesn''t count if sports newspapers are excluded. For the top five local comprehensive newspapers, we directly occupy four of them, and we dominate the top three!" "In addition, our current media strength is not the end, and we will continue to strengthen our strength in the media field. We are currently spending huge sums of money to acquire newspapers and TV stations, just to keep a low profile and to facilitate the raid at the end of the general election, so now It didn¡¯t make everyone aware of it." Takekami nodded in agreement, and the balance in his heart tilted again. Chunping Hyuga took a sip of tea and continued: "Then we have a plan for political donations and campaign funds. The money will not be donated directly to you, but you can spend it at your disposal." "For example, who you want to support or train, how much money and resources are needed for the planned activities, you will report to us directly after you tell them, and we will arrange it so that it will be distributed to everyone, and the amount will be very small. It won¡¯t attract other people¡¯s attention. Relatively speaking, you are safer and you don¡¯t have to worry about being held by political opponents." To this, Takejo Nobori was really satisfied, and even smiled on his face. In the past few decades, many people fell because of political donations suspected of bribery and violations. Now Junping Hyuga can take this factor into consideration and deal with it emphatically, which is indeed the best for him. If you really want to cooperate with Junhei Hyuga and others, you can be sure that every cooperation is a handle, so he dare not rebel on the day of his death unless he wants to step down or go to jail. Give the handle to Junhei Hyuga and others, he is completely acceptable, after all, this is the price of support, as long as he does not choose to break, then these handles will be useless. But if it is taken by a political opponent, it is dangerous! Junpei Hyuga continued his story. "In addition to political resources, we will also focus on improving the lives of your faction members so that you don''t have to worry about the quality of life at all." "You don''t need to accept corporate bribes. In our opinion, this kind of exchange of money with your own political career prospects is the lowest level!" "Our financial industry is very strong. My Nomura Securities is not the only financial company. You can use legal channels to get more money." "Let family members participate in the high-quality companies we provide, or invest in our domestic or foreign investment funds, we can create an investment fund specifically for you, and the return on investment is guaranteed to be 100% return!" "However, this kind of fund is one-year-long. It will be dissolved and rebuilt after the expiration date. Otherwise, if the fund becomes too large, we will not be able to guarantee such a high compound rate of return for a few years!" At this time, Takekami was already full of smiles, and he said with deep conviction: "Junhei-kun, even if it is only a one-year yield, if it is announced, it will shock the island country. This is already an excellent condition ." Seeing Takejotsu Nori say so, Junping Hikka completely settled in his heart, and the secret message became. He laughed, and said, "Kun Takekami is the prime minister and knows everything about the financial industry, so I don''t boast too much." "Our sincerity is already here. If our conditions are announced, it will definitely attract a large number of people." "So, what is your choice?" As soon as Junpei Hyuga''s voice fell, Obuchi Keizo turned his head to look at Takejoden next to him with bated breath, her expectation and anxiety intertwined. He screamed "Quickly agree" in his heart. If it was him, he absolutely agreed. After all, Junping Hyuga''s cooperation conditions are too generous, it is a comprehensive and considerate service, and even the quality of life is considered, and they do not need to spend money to improve the quality of life and flatter others. Money and resources can be provided enough to create a closed-loop faction. All people in the whole faction only need to do things with peace of mind to display their political ambitions and to climb up with one mind. This kind of political route is simply unnecessary. Too flat! In Keizo Obuchi''s view, with this kind of resources, even an ordinary person can be promoted to the position of a member. However, even though he wished to agree right away, Junpei Hyuga asked Takegami Too, and he could only do it in a hurry. Fortunately, his teacher did not disappoint him. I saw Takejo Nobori solemnly and said in a sonorous voice: "Junpei-san, thank you for your approval, I don''t think I have any reason to refuse, I believe we will be the most firm ally!" Junpei Hyuga smiled, and stretched out his hand to Takejot. Takejotoshi immediately stretched out his hand and clasped both hands tightly. "Happy cooperation!" "Papa..." Obuchi Keizo couldn''t help clapping and congratulating. After re-separation, the atmosphere in the room is much more harmonious, after all, everyone in the room is my own. There is no need to ask Junping Days, Takesami Takes the initiative to say: "Junhei-san, in fact, I have already started planning for self-reliance. I have already prepared a lot of things, have many like-minded allies, and have been paying attention to young and potential officials. ." "After I go back, I will act immediately, and I will set up my own faction in the near future. I will list the first batch of resources that I need at that time." "No problem, I look forward to your good news!" Junpei Hyuga nodded and smiled without hesitation. ... PS: The puzzle is complete, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket, there is a monthly ticket activity in the starting book review area v3 Chapter 1218: Buy a big toy for the beautiful woman Latest URL: "...Boss, this is all the situation that night." In Xia Yu''s villa, Junping Hyuga, who was glamorous in front of Zhu Shangden, told Xia Yu all the situation with low eyebrows. After listening to Xia Yu, after thinking about it for a moment, he gave Chunping Hyuga a positive compliment: "Very good job." "You will be responsible for contacting Takeshangden directly. You must report all his requirements and all the circumstances to me as soon as possible, understand?" Junping Hyuga replied obediently: "Understood!" ... After Junpei Hyuga left, Xia Yu let the netizens continue to watch Junpei Hyuga and Takejoden. Junpei Hyuga, after all, is different from Matsumoto Yu, because it is forced to join him, and Junpei Hyuga is also the second largest shareholder of Nomura Securities. Therefore, Xia Yu still needs to go through a period of secret investigation for Junpei Hyuga. From the time when he set up Nomura Securities Company, Xia Yu kept the people in the net staring at Junping Hyuga, and he has not slackened until now, and Junping Hyuga has never noticed it. Perhaps after a year or a half, when it is completely certain that Junping Hyuga has no rebellious mentality, Xia Yu will release his surveillance. After that, Xia Yu continued to devote himself to work. With the current industry, it is simply unrealistic to build a consortium in an island country. Although Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu are now working together on hunting plans for large companies outside the scope of the six consortiums in the island country, Xia Yu is not idle. His huge memory is the greatest wealth, and must be fully utilized to dig out the gold that is still in the dust! These golds, as long as they are cultivated, will be the core pillar of his island country consortium in the future! ... Just when Xia Yu focused on the island country, another major event happened in Xiangjiang. On behalf of the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority adjusted the exchange rate policy of the Hong Kong dollar. Starting from April 15th, the Hong Kong dollar will be pegged to the U.S. dollar and the linked exchange rate system will be implemented. The Hong Kong dollar will be pegged to the U.S. dollar at an exchange rate of 6.10 Hong Kong dollars, and implemented through a rigorous and robust currency issuance system. At the same time, the Hong Kong government announced that it would increase its reserves of US dollars to ensure the stability of the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars. As soon as this policy was announced, the whole Xiangjiang was cheered. The capital market reacted most strongly, and the stock market and futures market soared. This policy has unlocked the chain of the Xiangjiang capital market and added a thick protective cover. It has given the Xiangjiang capital market a good growth and development environment. Many capitals in the world have made adjustments? The use of Xiangjiang as a capital pool has made the US dollar foreign exchange holdings of the Foreign Exchange Management Fund of the Monetary Authority continue to rise. After Xia Yu learned of this situation, through Huo Jianning''s mouth, expressed his affirmation and praise to Zhou Shanwen, the director of the Monetary Authority, which inspired the latter. Because of the implementation of this policy? Xia Yu wanted to go back to Xiangjiang. But Elena, who hadn¡¯t seen her for a long time, said she would come to Tokyo, so of course Xia Yu stayed in Tokyo? So as not to disappoint her beloved Elena. Because of the jet lag? When Elena arrived in Tokyo, it was about 5:40 in the morning. In this season, the sky at this point in time is still gray. However, Xia Yu was already waiting for Elena at the airport. "Xia Yu!" Elena, wearing a pale gold princess dress, came out of the plane with two capable female bodyguards, and looked around for a while? She saw Xia Yu who was surrounded by people wearing sunglasses. She has a look of joy? Carrying the skirt, she ran towards Xia Yu happily. Xia Yu hurriedly speeded up the pace and trot to Elena, holding her tightly in his arms, and for a moment, Wenxiang Nephrite was full of arms. "Xia Yu? I miss you so much!" "Elena, I''m sorry I haven''t visited you in London for so long." Xia Yu held Elena tightly? Said apologetically in her ear. Elena was immersed in Xia Yu''s embrace and breath, her tone still revealed joy: "It doesn''t matter? I know you are very busy, you don''t have time to come to London? Then I will come by your side? The result is not all the same? " Xia Yu was touched in his heart? He hugged Elena''s hand again and put Elena into his arms tightly. Feeling the change in Xia Yu''s mood, the smile on Elena''s face became sweeter. For a long time, Elena reluctantly left Xia Yu''s embrace. But the hands of the two are still tightly held together. Only then did Xia Yu have time to quietly observe Elena. At this sight, Xia Yu couldn''t help frowning. Elena suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly, "Xia Yu, do I have any questions?" Xia Yu caressed Elena¡¯s pretty face, and said distressedly: ¡°You¡¯ve been on the plane for more than ten hours before and after. It¡¯s too hard. Even the first-class cabin is also very tormented. You can see that your face reveals it. Tired." It turns out that I feel sorry for myself! Elena smiled like a flower, shook her head softly, and said nonchalantly: "I just haven''t woken up yet, and I haven''t lost the jet lag. I have a good rest tonight, and I can adjust it." "It''s not the problem!" Xia Yu shook his head and said, after a short pause, he said decisively. "I have decided, I want to give you a gift!" Elena''s eyes lit up, she looked at Xia Yu expectantly, and asked curiously: "Xia Yu, what gift is it?" Xia Yu scratched her Qiong nose and said mysteriously: "You will know in a few days, it must be a big surprise!" When Xia Yu said this, Elena looked forward to it more and more. Although she couldn''t wait to know right away, she resisted curiosity, blinked her big beautiful eyes, and whispered, "Then I look forward to it, hehe!" "Haha..." "Let''s go, let''s go back first. I have a house in Tokyo. You have to eat some breakfast first and then have a good rest." Xia Yu was amused by Elena''s playful and cute appearance. After he laughed, he took Elena''s hand and walked outside. When they arrived at the airport waiting area, a row of black Rolls-Royce was neatly arranged there. After the bodyguard opened the door, Xia Yu and Elena got in the same car. Subsequently, the convoy drove away from Tokyo Haneda International Airport. On this day, Xia Yu didn''t go anywhere, so he stayed with Elena at home. Elena, whose biological clock has not yet been adjusted, is not suitable for going out and is easily physically and mentally exhausted. And when Xia Yu accompanied Elena to recuperate at home, after receiving the news, Boeing of the United States immediately formed the best team to reach the fastest flight to the island nation of Tokyo, and the leader was Boeing. Executive Vice President-Rudolph Martin. Not only that, they also used the time in the air to conduct research, judgment and discussion, which can be said to be a race against time! It can be seen that Boeing attaches great importance to Xia Yu. After arriving in Tokyo, Rudolf Martin and his party took a rest for one night, and then formally visited Xia Yu''s house the next morning. When Rudolf Martin and others arrived, Xia Yu and Elena were watering flowers in the garden leisurely. After seeing the bodyguards bringing Rudolph Martin and the others, he put down the watering can and smiled at the smiling Rudolph Martin and others who came quickly. Rudolf Martin had seen the photos of Xia Yu provided by the company before he came. He also put the image of Xia Yu in his mind on the road, so he recognized Xia Yu at first sight. "Hello, Mr. Xia, I am Rudolf Martin, Vice President of Boeing Company. This time the company sent me to say hello to you. This is my business card. I am glad to meet you!" As he said, Rudolph immediately held a business card in both hands and handed it to Xia Yu, with a very warm smile on his face. After Xia Yu took the business card, he shook his right hand with Rudolph Martin, and said with a smile: "President Martin, welcome you!" Afterwards, Rudolf Martin introduced the members he had brought to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu greeted them with a smile. However, it is clear that the people brought by Rudolf Martin are very low-profile, showing a high degree of respect for Xia Yu. "This is my love, Elena!" After getting to know each other, Xia Yu introduced Rudolph Martin and others to Elena, who was standing quietly beside him. When Xia Yu introduced Elena, Elena was very surprised, and her heart was filled with sweetness. It''s just that Rudolph Martin and others are here, so she can only helplessly maintain her image so as not to shame Xia Yu. "Dear Ms. Elena, you are the princess in the fairy tale, and only Mr. Xia can be worthy of such a noble you!" Rudolf Martin''s compliments very smoothly made Xia Yu and Elena''s impression of him much better. "Thank you!" Elena smiled and nodded in thanks, exuding a noble and elegant temperament from the inside out, which made Rudolph Martin mutter secretly, this temperament, will not really be a princess of any country... "President Martin, let''s go into the house and talk!" After that, Xia Yu took Elena and led Rudolf Martin and others into the house. After sitting down, the maid was responsible for making tea and coffee. After a lot of busyness, the official talked about business. Rudolf Martin took out a beautiful atlas from his assistant, handed it to Xia Yu, and introduced: "Mr. Xia, our company has given the highest attention to the news from your subordinates. I intend to let the president come in person, but because he is still on a business trip in Europe to discuss important cooperation, so I will lead the team to serve you." "This is the current catalogue of all models of our Boeing Company. You can take a look, and then we will answer any questions for you based on your comments." "Ok." Xia Yu said with a smile. After receiving the album, he put it on his knees and opened it. What you see is a catalog with all Boeing models, from Boeing 707 series to Boeing 767 series. Xia Yu knows a lot about Boeing airplanes. He owns airlines himself and has ordered many Boeing airplanes before. Therefore, I have a certain understanding of Boeing''s various series. He directly skipped the 707 series, 717 series, 727 series and 737 series and turned to the corresponding page of the Boeing 747 series. Boeing 747 also has several models, namely the oldest Boeing 747-B, then Boeing 747-100, Boeing 747-200, and Boeing 747-300. Among them, the Boeing 747-200 is a model that Xia Yu''s company bought a lot of. The Boeing 747-300, according to the introduction in the atlas, is the latest model. It is an improved version of the Boeing 747-200. It was designed and manufactured on June 12, 1980, and waited until October 1982 for its first flight test. There are a lot of specific tables. On the basis of the 747-200, the upper cabin is lengthened by 7.11 meters for the 747-300, and a door is added. The number of passengers in the upper cabin has increased from 32 to 69, and the upper cabin porthole has been added. , The straight staircase replaced the original spiral staircase. The maximum cruising speed is increased from M0.84 to M0.85. And just last month, that is, March 7, obtained the FAA type certificate. Then, Xia Yu turned down again and looked at the Boeing 757 series. To be precise, the Boeing 757 cannot be called a series now, because there is currently only one. The Boeing 757 aircraft is a dual-engine narrow-body medium and long-range transport aircraft produced by the Boeing Company. It began to be developed in March 1979. The first Boeing 757 aircraft flew for the first time in February 1982. In December of the same year, it obtained the airworthiness certificate and was put into service. Finally, there is the Boeing 767 model, which also has only one model, which is also a dual-engine, but a half-width mid- and long-range transport aircraft. After turning over the album to the end, Xia Yu turned back to the position of the Boeing 747 series, turning to the Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-300 respectively, and asked Elena affectionately: "Elena, this Two airplanes, which one do you prefer?" Elena was stunned by Xia Yu''s sudden question. She blinked and looked at Xia Yu, who looked at her with her big eyes, and an unbelievable thought came up in her heart. She couldn''t believe it, and subconsciously asked: "Xia Yu, why are you asking me?" Xia Yu smiled and said softly: "This is the gift I said to you two days ago. Of course you have to like it." "I don''t want to see you fly so hard again." Elena''s heart was filled with emotion in an instant, she covered her mouth, her eyes moistened instantly. "Xia Yu, it''s actually unnecessary. An airplane is too expensive..." Before Elena finished speaking, Xia Yu interrupted her directly and domineeringly. He looked at Elena firmly and said softly: "If I make money and can''t make my loved one improve their lives, then I What can you do if you make more money?" Elena couldn¡¯t hold back her emotions anymore, and her moving tears flowed down. She threw herself into Xia Yu¡¯s arms and murmured, ¡°Xia Yu, thank you. This is the biggest surprise in my life. I will never forget." Xia Yu stroked Elena''s hair with a smile on her face. And Rudolf Martin and others who watched this scene felt uncomfortable after being fed by this dog food, but they didn''t rush to show it. Even Rudolph Martin had to show admiration and blessing. No way, in front of Xia Yu''s ability to get money, he had to hold back everything. For a long time, Elena resisted the excitement of wanting to kiss Xia Yu, calmed her emotions, and somewhat embarrassedly took a tissue from Xia Yu''s hand to wipe away her tears. "Sorry, I''m a little gaffe." Elena apologized to Rudolf Martin and others. Rudolf Martin immediately shook his head and said, "How could it be, Ms. Elena, in my opinion, your smile at this time is the most beautiful!" "Thank you!" "Elena, look at these two airplanes, which one do you like?" Xia Yu smiled and said to Elena again. v3 Chapter 1219: Give me two! Elena did not refuse this time, and looked back and forth on the Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-300 models with joy. In terms of introduction, the Boeing 747-300 is obviously improved, but it has not been tested by the market, so there is uncertainty. Unlike the Boeing 747-200, it has many years of market considerations and its performance is very stable and excellent. Seeing that Elena was too late to make a decision, Xia Yu said to Rudolf Martin: "President Martin, please tell us the difference between these two models." "Ok!" Rudolph Martin responded immediately. Then he narrated the familiar information without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, let me introduce you the parameters of the Boeing 747-200." "The four engines of the aircraft are all Rolls-Royce 211 models. The fuselage length is 68.6 meters, the wing length is 6.5 meters, the height is 7.82 meters, the cabin length is 57 meters, the cabin width is 6.1 meters, and the cabin height is 2.54 meters. , The luggage compartment is 175 cubic meters, the aircraft horsepower is 236KN, the take-off distance is 3875 meters, the landing distance is 2093 meters, the practical ceiling is 13746 meters, the maximum take-off load is 377.8 tons, the maximum landing weight is 285.7 tons, and the weight of the fuselage at empty weight 17.06 tons." "In terms of speed, the maximum cruising speed is 982 kilometers per hour, the normal cruising speed is 875 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 12,700 kilometers." "The price of this aircraft is 35 million U.S. dollars for bare metal!" "On the 747-300 model, some parameters have been adjusted to some extent, but the parameters of the fuselage have not changed." "The performance of the Rolls-Royce 211 turbo engine has been optimized, so in terms of power, it has been increased from 236KN to 240KN." "The takeoff distance of the aircraft has dropped by more than two hundred meters, from 3875 meters to 3650 meters, while the landing distance and practical ceiling remain unchanged." "In terms of weight, the maximum take-off weight remains the same, but the maximum landing weight has dropped from 285.7 tons to 260.32 tons, and the empty weight has increased from 170.06 tons to 174.82 tons." "Although the weight has increased, the fuel utilization rate has been higher. The cruising speed and normal cruising speed of the rental store are the same, but the range is only reduced by 300 kilometers." "Mr. Xia, although we only obtained the FAA Type Certificate in March, we don''t have to worry about other problems with this aircraft." "The Boeing 747-300 is only optimized on the basis of the Boeing 747-200, so it has higher technological content and better performance." "As for the price, it is slightly higher than the Boeing 747-200 model, which is 37 million US dollars." "At present, we are about to complete a Boeing 747-300 model, and there are more aircraft under construction..." Rudolf Martin obviously wanted to promote the Boeing 747-300 model. Xia Yu just looked at it with a smile and did not express his opinions easily. He also understands Rudolph Martin and the Boeing company''s intentions behind it. It is nothing more than to successfully promote the Boeing 747-300 model to him. Once he builds this aircraft into a top-level private jet, it will be for Boeing. It is the best marketing advertisement, the benefits are self-evident! Xia Yu also knows that because of the negative impact of the oil crisis in the past two years, airlines all over the world have struggled to operate, and most of them have suffered losses, so it is difficult to purchase new aircraft for expansion. As a result, Boeing¡¯s aircraft could not be sold and revenues were very low, so Boeing was eager to open up the situation and refused to let go of any opportunity. correct! Thinking of this, Xia Yu moved in his heart and wrote down his inspiration. After Rudolph Martin finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at Elena and asked gently: "Elena, which model do you think is better?" Elena pursed her mouth and thought for a moment, and said softly to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, I choose Boeing 747-300. I have also heard that Rolls-Royce¡¯s 211 engine has certain optimizations and performance. Still great." Of course Xia Yu had no objection. He smiled back at Elena, and then said to Rudolph Martin: "President Martin, choose a Boeing 747-300. I need two planes!" When Rudolf Martin heard it, his eyes lit up and his mouth opened wide. When the president of Cathay Pacific Airways contacted them before, he only said that the boss Xia Yu wanted to buy a private jet. They always thought it was just one. They didn''t expect Xia Yu to place two orders so quickly! This is definitely a surprise! You must know that because of the oil crisis, Boeing''s total order for a year was only 20 Boeing 747 aircraft! And it still includes the sales of several models of the Boeing series! Now Xia Yu has just two planes, which is so pleasant and surprising! "Mr. Xia, this is really amazing. You are the most angry man I have ever met!" "You are also the top VIP of our company, please allow me to offer my sincerest respect!" Rudolf Martin did not hesitate to praise and flatter, and his attitude was very low, to show his respect for Xia Yu. Even if he did, Rudolf Martin still felt that it was not enough, so he stood up suddenly and bowed to Xia Yu. The team following him also stood up, all smiles, bowed to Xia Yu and offered compliments. "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of our Boeing Company!" Although they knew they were doing it for their own money, Rudolf Martin and others were willing to do this kind of face-saving work, which really made Xia Yu happy! He smiled and said: "President Martin, what are your modification plans? What are their characteristics?" Rudolf Martin immediately received a stack of documents from his assistant and replied with a smile: "Mr. Xia, regarding the transformation and decoration of the Boeing 747-300 model, we have designed a total of five plan templates, namely SSS and SS. , S, A, and B five kinds of plans, of which the SSS-level plan is the top plan." As soon as Rudolf Martin finished speaking, Xia Yu said directly: "Just talk about SSS and the plan." Xia Yu''s arrogance made Rudolph''s smile brighter. He took out the top plan from the document, handed it to Xia Yu with both hands, and then said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, next will be my assistant Chandler Jason, the chief engineer of our aircraft modification department. Introduce the retrofit design of the SSS program in detail for you and your lover." Just after he finished speaking, a white man with thick glasses and whitish hair sitting beside him nodded to Xia Yu and Elena, and then began to introduce Xia Yu to the transformation plan of the SSS program. "Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, the SSS plan you are holding is a unique plan template carefully designed by us. After my introduction, if you are not satisfied or have any ideas of your own, you can follow me Say, your needs are our pursuit." "Please look at the first page. The interior of the fuselage has been remodeled and divided into five major areas, namely, luxurious bedrooms, exquisite kitchens, and offices..." "There is also a special wine storage area in the kitchen, where red wine can be placed. Each position is fixed with the top oak. The oak is wrapped with the top merino wool from Australia, which can ensure that the aircraft takes off and landed. The impact won''t make the wine shake and fall..." "..." As Chandler Jason continued to tell, Xia Yu and Elena nodded from time to time, which inspired Rudolph Martin, who had been observing Xia Yu and Elena, especially Elena¡¯s nod. It is to greatly increase its self-confidence. After all, Boeing initially thought that Xia Yu wanted to buy a private jet. He didn''t expect Xia Yu to buy two planes. One was obviously his own and the other was given to Elena. So this unexpected accident disrupted their plans. It''s just that he didn''t get chaotic when he was in danger, he kept his composure and didn''t show it. To be honest, Boeing has made many templates for the transformation of private jets, and this one is the most top-notch. Before visiting Xia Yu, Rudolf Martin and others combined with Xia Yu''s identity as a Chinese, made some adjustments to the top-level renovation plan, and only made a top-notch plan. There are remodeling plans suitable for women, but they are not of the same level as this one, so Rudolf Martin dare not take it out at all! Fortunately, Elena is also very interested in this remodeling plan, which is obviously partly Chinese! If you want to use words to describe this transformation plan. "High-end atmosphere and high-grade, low-key luxury and connotation" these fourteen are the most suitable. But think about it, this top-level renovation plan, all the layout and interior inside, all use the world''s top materials, even if it is just a kitchen rag, it is also the top-quality. This is completely inlaid with money! However, although this reform plan is very expensive, it does not have the tackiness of the nouveau riche in the Middle East. For Xia Yu, he is very satisfied in most places. "...Mr. Xia, this is the situation with this renovation plan, what do you think?" About fifteen minutes or so, Chandler Jason introduced all the renovation plans. After the end, he looked expectantly at Xia Yu and Elena. Rudolf Martin immediately added carefully: "Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, if you are unsatisfied with anything, please be sure to tell us. We will do our best to serve you until we make a plan you like. until!" Xia Yu smiled back at Rudolph Martin, then turned to look at Elena, and said softly: "Elena, what do you think? Even if you bring it up, this aircraft belongs to you. It must be in every detail. You like it." Elena''s eyes were smiling, and she tapped Zhenshou and said softly: "Hmm! Then she looked at Chandler Jason again, speaking in a voice like a ding-dong of spring water, very pleasant: "Mr. Jason, I am quite satisfied with the plan you introduced, and I can see that you have used it. A lot of energy." "But because of my personal living habits and howling, there are some places that I hope can be transformed into what I like." "Of course there is no problem, please order!" Chandler Jason nodded without hesitation. The few people next to him all took out papers and pens, waiting for Elena to make a request for the record. "Mr. Jason, for example, this bedroom, I hope I can change the color of a style, the room in my house is..." Considering the difficulty of recording by Chandler Jason and others, Elena spoke very slowly, stopping to think or discussing intimately with Xia Yu from time to time. Not dare to ask for one, Chandler Jason and others patiently and meticulously recorded it, and used the fragmented time to make a rough price calculation. They are all elites specially selected by Boeing. They are very proficient in aircraft modification, and they also know the world''s top price levels of various materials. They were selected to form a team to complete Xia Yu''s requirements quickly and well, and to avoid upsetting Xia Yu and others as much as possible. It can be said that for Xia Yu''s order, Boeing has used its best! Xia Yu can also see their attitude, so his impression of Rudolph Martin and others is getting better and better. However, an aircraft modification plan involves a lot of areas, so the content to be discussed is naturally very complicated, and it consumes a lot of time. In order to save time, Xia Yu invited them to dine at his home. He specially ordered the chef to make a hearty Chinese meal, which was well received by Rudolf Martin and others. After lunch, the group continued to discuss. It wasn''t until about five o''clock in the afternoon that the transformation style and style of the two private jets were determined again, but the final price has not yet come out. However, it is not necessary for Xia Yu to do the matter of negotiation. "President Martin, our requirements have been clearly stated to you, and we will follow the plan we said to transform. As for the specific price, after you have calculated it, Cathay Pacific will send someone to talk with you." Xia Yu smiled and said to Rudolph Martin. "OK, I see!" "Mr. Xia, after we go back, we will immediately remake a complete renovation plan based on the requirements of you and your lover. After that, we will send someone to you as soon as possible. After you confirm that it is correct, we will immediately carry out the renovation. " Rudolph Martin said quickly. "can." "Right, there is one more question." "After determining the plan, how long will it take for the two aircraft to be delivered?" Xia Yu nodded slightly, and asked another question after thinking for a while. Rudolf Martin said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, don''t worry about it. Our company is located in the Renton factory outside of Seattle, USA. It is the world''s top and most productive aircraft manufacturer. It has a complete aircraft production line and Sufficient engineers." "When our factory made the Boeing 737 model, it set a world record. From scratch, it only took nine days to complete the manufacturing and test flight!" "We don''t have only one aircraft production line, so we can produce two aircraft at the same time and place your order first!" "So as long as you confirm, plus the modification time, we only need to spend one month!" At the end, Rudolf Martin proudly raised an index finger to indicate a month. Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "This is very efficient." However, he immediately became serious and said in a serious tone: "But I don''t want you to deliberately pursue efficiency. The quality of the aircraft is the most importantI only care about safety!" Rudolf Martin hurriedly promised: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured that our company has always put product quality first, and the safety of passengers'' lives has been our pursuit." Xia Yu''s face loosened, and he said with a smile: "Your company has a lot of pursuits." Rudolph Martin didn''t feel embarrassed at all, and laughed. "Mr. Xia, it''s a bit late. I''m really sorry to disturb you and your lover for so long." "We''ll leave first, and we will disturb you after the plan is made!" "Ok!" ... After sending Rudolf Martin and others away, Xia Yu closed the door. No one else is in the house. Elena couldn''t help it anymore, and plunged directly into Xia Yu''s arms, expressing her love for Xia Yu by action. Where could Xia Yu bear it, he hugged Elena and went upstairs to the bedroom. For a time, the sky thunder shook the ground... PS: The official announcement, Xia Yu¡¯s 10,000 mu of Gannan navel orange planted on the mainland is finally on the market. Xia Yu guarantees his own reputation. The Gannan navel orange in his hometown is absolutely authentic. Because it only took a day, the shop is decorated If you want to eat authentic Gannan navel oranges, you can search for [shops]: Gannan navel oranges from Xia Yu¡¯s hometown can be seen. Only ordinary express ones are on the shelves. SF Express will talk about it tomorrow. Welcome everyone to pay attention. Yeah! You get what you pay for, the Gannan navel orange from Xia Yu''s hometown is not the cheapest, but it can be 100% guaranteed to be authentic. Remember to search the store, not the product! v3 Chapter 1220: Encounter in Osaka Latest website: Early the next morning, after Xia Yu and Elena had breakfast at home, Xia Yu changed into casual clothes. He was going to take Elena to the island country for a good stroll. As for business matters, others have already followed his orders. Especially for some plans, the preliminary preparation also takes a certain amount of time. In the empty window period before the action, he would actually be more leisurely. "Xia Yu, where are we going now?" "This is my first time to an island country!" Wearing a white dress and a European-style flower hat, she exudes a detached and secular temperament, very noble and beautiful. But it was just such a princess-like girl in a fairy tale. At this time, she held Xia Yu''s hand with a smile and love, and blinked at Xia Yu with big beautiful eyes. For this trip, Xia Yu has made plans in advance, but he is not prepared to tell Elena now. He deliberately created an atmosphere and smiled mysteriously: "Elena, let''s get in the car first, and I will take you to a place." "That place is not in Tokyo, but you will love it." Elena smiled more charmingly, tapped her head, and said expectantly: "I am already looking forward to it!" "Haha... let''s go!" After all, Xia Yu took Elena out and boarded the car, and then the convoy drove towards Tokyo International Airport. He is going to take Elena to Osaka. It''s just that Osaka is about 550 kilometers away from Tokyo. If you drive, it will take too much time, and it will be annoying to ride. So he can only use the fastest means of transportation-airplanes, short-haul planes flying from Tokyo to Osaka, and be able to reach Osaka before noon. At about eleven o''clock in the morning, Xia Yu took Elena out of the airport. His subordinates had arranged a car to wait. After getting in the car, he went to the presidential suite of Marco Polo Osaka Hotel to stay. Jiuding Hotel Group has expanded to Osaka. Marco Polo Osaka Hotel is a five-star hotel, which was officially put into operation in December last year. As soon as it opened, it became one of the top hotels in Osaka, with a very high passenger flow. But Xia Yu didn''t come here specifically to stay at the hotel. After a short break at noon, at 2:30 in the afternoon, Xia Yu took Elena to Osaka Castle, one of the three famous island cities! Osaka Castle was built in Ikutamaso Osaka in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and was rebuilt in the Edo period. The Japanese castle covers an area of ??approximately 710,000 square meters. It is also called Jincheng and Kinjo. Osaka Castle was the residence of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and the center of the Toyotomi regime during the Japanese unified Momoyama era. Later, Ieyasu Tokugawa destroyed the Toyotomi family in two Osaka battles and eliminated the Toyotomi family''s traces, and then rebuilt it. The current Osaka Castle is actually the equivalent of a brand new Osaka Castle built by Hidetada Tokugawa between 1620 and 1629. The citizens of Osaka call it Tokugawa Osaka Castle. Nowadays, Osaka Castle has preserved many historical relics, and this ancient city is also one of the best places to learn about island culture. However, Xia Yu''s main purpose is not to introduce Elena to the island culture. His goal is more than 8,000 cherry blossoms in Osaka Castle Park! The island country is called the country of cherry blossoms, and foreign tourists generally come to the island country to enjoy the cherry blossoms. It''s just that cherry blossoms mostly bloom in early spring. It was mid-to-late April, and the cherry blossoms in most parts of the island country were basically withered. Although there are still many cherry blossoms in full bloom within Tokyo, they are not spectacular enough. Fortunately, the cherry blossoms in Osaka died later, so Xia Yu brought Elena to Osaka to catch the last train. "Xia Yu, it''s so beautiful here!" After entering Osaka Castle Park, Elena said happily, looking at a sea of ??pink flowers, with a smile on her face. "Xia Yu, how should we go?" Elena''s eyelashes quivered and asked softly. Xia Yu stretched out her hand and smiled helplessly: "Elena, this is the first time I''m here." "The route is not important, what is important is that you accompany me to play together." Elena was moved by Xia Yu''s sudden sensational words, and the corners of her mouth raised again, holding Xia Yu''s hand to the right. "Then let''s go this way!" ... There are a lot of people watching the cherry blossoms. There are many pedestrians on the park road to watch the pink cherry blossoms along the road. The dense trunks of cherry blossom trees along the road are intertwined, turning the road into a dreamlike "cherry blossom tunnel". Walking in the meantime, it is like entering a fairy tale world. Elena, who wore a white long dress, relieved all the burdens, like a fairy entering the mortal world, without concealing her emotions, leaving her silver bells of laughter along the way. In order not to disturb the interest of Xia Yu and Elena, the bodyguards did not follow closely, but scattered around, observing all the people around them at any time to ensure the safety of Xia Yu and Elena. While Xia Yu was playing comfortably with Elena, suddenly he heard someone calling his name in an uncertain voice. Not only Xia Yu heard it, but Elena also heard it. The two followed their fame and saw two young and beautiful girls. One of them was a white girl with blond hair and blue eyes, but she was wearing a pink cherry blossom kimono. The other is a yellow girl wearing a white kimono. She is very sweet. She has two dimples on her ruddy and shiny face. Her large amber-like eyes have long eyelashes. There is one under the corner of her left eye. Mole tears. "Sandy?" Although the white girl with blond hair and blue eyes was wearing a kimono at this time, Xia Yu only paused for a second before he recognized who she was, and he shouted unexpectedly. Seeing Xia Yu recognizing herself, Cindy Mellon smiled and greeted Xia Yu with a little joy: "Xia Yu, it''s been a long time since I saw you. I didn''t expect to meet you here. It''s amazing!" "Sandy, I''m very lucky to see you again. How come you come to the island nation of Osaka?" Xia Yu said with a smile. He looked at Sandy Mellon up and down, and his impression of her more than two years ago quickly became vivid and clear. I haven''t seen it for more than two years, and Cindy Mellon still has that kind of grace and agility, still giving Xia Yu the feeling of a human spirit. It seems that more than two years have never taken anything from her, nor have they added anything to her. Sandy Mellon explained with a smile: "I have completed my university studies ahead of schedule and I am exercising myself through global fulfillment. I only came to the island country before yesterday." "Kumiko knew that I was coming, so she specially invited me to her house as a guest, so I came to Osaka." "In my plan, the island country is my penultimate stop. After the trip to the island country, I plan to go to Hong Kong. Before, you invited me to see your hometown, but I did not expect to meet you in Osaka. " "By the way, let me introduce you to this beautiful girl next to me." "Sumitomo Kumiko, my college classmate." "Xia Yujun, hello, I am Sandi¡¯s classmate Sumitomo Kumiko. I am glad to meet you!" Sumitomo Kumiko put his hands on his abdomen gently, smiled sweetly, and greeted Xia Yu with the traditional bow of an island woman. Her voice was very ethereal, as if it could wash the soul of a person, Xia Yu couldn''t help but look sideways. v3 Chapter 1221: Sumitomo family Latest website: "Hello, Miss Kumiko, I am Xia Yu, I am glad to meet you!" For such a pure, cute and polite girl, Xia Yu was very gentle and said with a smile. As for Sumitomo Kumiko''s surname, Xia Yu was only a little surprised and recovered. Osaka was originally the home of the Sumitomo family. Even the headquarters of Sumitomo Bank, the core of the Sumitomo Foundation and the Sumitomo Trust Bank, the sub-financial core, are in Osaka rather than Tokyo. Therefore, Osaka is the place where the probability of meeting Sumitomo family members is highest. Besides, Sandy Mellon is the daughter of the current Patriarch of the Mellon family, and most people can¡¯t become good friends with her, even in college! He has seen information about the six major consortia and top families in the island country before. Although it has been a while, he still has a lot of impressions. If I remember correctly, Sumitomo Kumiko is the granddaughter of the current Sumitomo Family Patriarch. She comes from the long-term house of the Sumitomo family. Her father is Sumitomo Yasuke, the first heir of the Sumitomo family. She currently serves as the chairman of Sumitomo Bank and also serves as the Sumitomo Foundation Manager. The position of Deputy General Manager of the White Water Club. She is definitely the top daughter of the island country, with a very distinguished status. However, Xia Yu did not see a trace of arrogance and nobility in her. Instead, she looked like a pure and lovely leader girl, which made him feel emotional. Sumitomo Yasuke didn''t know how to develop his daughter to such a degree. Although the two beauties are in front, Xia Yu is not Brother Pig, and he has not forgotten that his lover Elena is beside him. "Let me introduce to you, this is my love, Elena, from England." He gave Elena a gentle look, and then introduced Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko. "Miss Sandi, Miss Kumiko, hello, I am Xia Yu''s lover, I am glad to meet you!" "You are so beautiful!" Xia Yu''s frank introduction dissipated the only little tension in Elena''s heart, and she greeted them generously. "Miss Elena, thank you!" "You are truly beautiful, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Sandy Mellon''s mouth is also very sweet, and she replied with a smile. As for Sumitomo Kumiko, it was even more so, bowed to Elena to thank, and then praised. "Miss Elena, when did you and Xia Yu get married?" At this time, Sandy Mellon asked Elena a question curiously. This unintentional question caused Elena''s heart to fluctuate, but she did not show it, she was still so calm and generous, and said with a smile: "We are not married yet." "Oh, I thought you were married, but I also wish you well in advance." This answer was a little unexpected. Sandy Mellon blinked and blessed with a sweet smile. She herself didn''t realize it, hearing Elena''s answer, she felt so lightly relaxed and happy. Perhaps this was just an instinctive reaction. After all, more than two years ago, Xia Yu left a very deep impression on her, and it was the first time in her life that she was such a curious boy. The words spoken in a calm tone-"I just want to see the scenery at the highest point in the world", appeared in her mind from time to time in the past. Otherwise, she would not have been in contact with Xia Yu for more than two years and still remember that she smiled and said she wanted to visit Xia Yu¡¯s hometown, and then after graduating from university in advance, she would also visit Xia Yu¡¯s hometown when traveling around the world. Xiangjiang is the last stop. "Miss Elena, would you like us to play together? Kumiko is familiar with this place. She knows where the most beautiful scenery is." "Okay." Facing the invitation sent by Sandy Mellon, Elena smiled softly and nodded in agreement. Xia Yu has nothing to do with it. So next, Xia Yu''s team became the most eye-catching presence in Osaka Castle Park. A handsome and sunny youth was accompanied by three fairy-like girls, two of whom were foreigners, which naturally attracted visitors from the road. Gaze. Sandy Mellon is lively like an elf, Sumitomo Kumiko is a pure, pleasant and quiet girl next door, and Elena is a noble and elegant princess. The three girls have their own characteristics and are so outstanding, but now they have gathered together. It''s not that no one wants to come over to have a chat, but when he was still far away, he was stopped by the joint bodyguard team brought by Xia Yu, Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko. I don''t know what magic the lively Sandy did on Elena, and Elena soon fell in love with this elf-like girl. The title between the two has also changed from the politely alienated "Miss" to "Sister" and "Sister". Xia Yu also took a lot of group photos of the two with a camera. Of course, there are photos of three girls, four of them, and photos of Xia Yu alone with each girl. The photo with Sandy was requested by Sandy. The photo with Sumitomo Kumiko was not mentioned by her, but also by Sandi, saying it was a symbol of friendship. Regarding Xia Yu taking photos with Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko, Elena did not show anything, she always smiled, and even took the initiative to act as a photographer. We laughed and laughed along the way. In the evening, we enjoyed dinner in Osaka Castle Park, just to see the "night cherry blossoms" in Osaka Castle Park. The scenery at night is indeed a very different sensory enjoyment from the daytime. The small river in Osaka Castle Park is full of cherry blossom trees. Many lanterns hang on the trees. The pink cherry blossoms look even more dreamy under the light. The cherry blossoms on both sides of the bank are approaching the water surface, forming pale pink arches, which contrast with the reflections on the river surface. Xia Yu and others also took a night cruise, and the cherry blossoms and the reflections on the river were layered endlessly, as if dreaming, mirage and beauty. The beautiful scenery can not be bored, nor can it be finished. Xia Yu and others waited until almost nine o''clock before they left Osaka Castle Park in pairs. But everyone has made an appointment to come back to Osaka Castle the next day to see the castle tower, which has no time to go in the afternoon. ... Sandy Mellon did not live in Sumitomo Kumiko''s home, so the two temporarily separated after they arrived in the city. Sumitomo Kumiko returned home and wanted to rest, but in the living room saw her grandfather chatting with his father in the living room. "Grandpa, Dad, I''m back." Sumitomo Kumiko said softly. Sumitomo Shinichi nodded slightly and asked in an old voice: "Kumiko, Miss Sandi had fun today?" Sumitomo Kumiko nodded and replied: "Yes, Sandi is very happy. Today we mainly played in Osaka Castle Park and watched the night cherry blossoms at night, so I came back late." "It doesn''t matter if it''s late, she just has a good time. She is your classmate. It is rare to come to the island country. We must entertain her well." "No accident happened today, right?" Sumitomo Shinichi smiled and said. Sumitomo Kumiko just wanted to shake his head, and then remembered Xia Yu and Elena, whom Xia Yu had met by chance. He also knew that Xia Yu and Elena had many bodyguards, and they were able to meet Sandy. They were definitely not simple. But Sandi didn''t say and she didn''t deliberately ask about the specific identities of Xia Yu and others. Now when Grandpa asked, she just said as usual: "There is no accident. If you want to count it, I met two people in the afternoon. One of them is a friend Sandy knew." Sumitomo Shinichi frowned and asked, "Do you know who it is?" Sumitomo Kumiko answered truthfully: "One is a young man named Xia Yu, and the other is his girlfriend Elena, from England." "Xia Yu?" "Xia Yu!" Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Yasuke didn''t react at first, but Sumitomo Yasuke quickly reacted. "Kumiko, are you sure his name is Xia Yu? Is he from Xiangjiang?" PS: The photo of Sandy is attached, the easter eggs in the starting point app chapter are visible ~: 1 night off tonight Latest URL: "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero" is in the middle of a day off tonight, please wait a moment, After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1222: Really came Latest website: The reaction of grandpa Sumitomo Shinichi and his father Sumitomo Yasuke made Sumitomo Kumiko wonder. Is there any connection between Xia Yu and his family? Don''t look at her like a pure and lovely girl next door, but she was born in this kind of family, had been educated by elites since she was young, and her IQ and EQ would not be low. She knows Sandy Mellon¡¯s identity and the character of her classmates, so it¡¯s not easy to know Xia Yu¡¯s identity in the afternoon. Otherwise, it¡¯s impossible for Sandy to use Xiangjiang as the last stop of the global travel, and she just said she wanted to. Go to Xia Yu''s hometown to see. It''s just that she didn''t want her friendship with Sandy to be disturbed too much, so although she was curious about Xia Yu, Sumitomo Kumiko did not show it and did not deliberately inquire. It just looks like now, I have to get to the bottom... She answered truthfully: "Yes, we talked during the afternoon chat. Xia Yu is from Xiangjiang." Sumitomo Yasuke knew it, and said confidently: "That''s right, it''s him." "In Xiangjiang, he is the only one who is qualified to have intersection with the Mellon family, who is also called Xia Yu!" Sumitomo Kumiko became more curious when she heard her father''s words. "Kumiko, sit down." Sumitomo Shinichi asked her granddaughter to sit down, obviously intending to ask her carefully, and also wanted her daughter to have a certain understanding of Xia Yu. "Don''t look at Xia Yu now very young. In fact, he is the most powerful person in Xiangjiang''s business community. He has built the largest consortium in Xiangjiang." "Although his strength is not as good as our Sumitomo Foundation, his upside potential is amazing." "The most amazing thing is that he started from nothing on his own, and created the current business map in just a few years. He is definitely a genius among geniuses!" "I have lived for more than seventy years, and I haven''t seen anyone with a higher accomplishment than him at his age!" Sumitomo Kumiko blinked his eyes when he heard his grandfather''s admiration. The image of Xia Yu that he constructed in his mind today collapsed and replaced it with a strange and mysterious image. "By the way, Kumiko, you said that Xia Yu came with a woman in the afternoon. Do you know what that woman is like?" Sumitomo Yasuke asked suddenly. Sumitomo Kumiko thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said: "Dad? I only know her name is Elena? Is Xia Yu''s girlfriend, who just came to our country from London, England a few days ago? As for her identity? I don''t To understanding." Didn''t get the answer he wanted, Sumitomo Yasuke frowned slightly? After groaning for a few seconds, he asked, "Then what is her full name?" full name? Sumitomo Kumiko''s eyebrows were slightly clumped, and it took a long time to remember? In the afternoon chatting, I seemed to hear Elena and Sandy talk about it. "It seems to be called Elena Howard." Sumitomo Kumiko said softly. Although Sumitomo Yasuke is the chairman of Sumitomo Bank? But in terms of knowledge, he is not as good as the sophisticated Sumitomo Shinichi. Sumitomo Shinichi said in an old voice: "In the UK, there are many Howard families, but most of them are very weak and only one is the top family in the UK." "The Howard family who inherited the title of Duke of Norfolk!" "As for is it? Tomorrow someone will find out who the Howard family members are." Sumitomo Kumiko''s mouth moved slightly? In the end, she pursed her mouth, without questioning Grandpa''s decision. "Ok!" Sumitomo Yasuke responded softly. "Kumiko, Xia Yu and others are still in Osaka, are you planning to go tomorrow?" "They are still in Osaka, and they have arranged to visit the castle tower together tomorrow." Sumitomo Kumiko didn''t hide it? Answered softly. Sumitomo Yasuke looked at his father, Sumitomo Shinichi, but after seeing him ponder for a moment, he slowly said, "There are not many places to play in the castle tower? It''s too long for one morning, but tomorrow is still too urgent." "Kumiko? Tomorrow morning you will bring a few invitations before you go out. At that time, depending on the situation, which one will be given to Xia Yu? Try not to disturb Xia Yu and Yaxing where your classmates are playing." "When you come back and tell me? Family should prepare in advance." "Ok." Sumitomo Kumiko replied respectfully. "It''s late? Go back to your room and rest early, get your spirits up, and go out tomorrow in your best condition." "Okay, grandpa, dad, I''ll go back to the room first." After speaking, Sumitomo Kumiko stood up and walked lightly and left the living room. After he left, Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Kosuke talked about the topic of Xia Yu until around 11 o''clock in the evening, until the older Sumitomo Shinichi was really sleepy, and the two stopped chatting... ... The next morning, Sumitomo Kumiko still acted as a guide, taking Cindy Mellon, Xia Yu, and Elena around the castle tower with all his heart, and went to a well-known restaurant for food at noon. The most worthwhile features of Osaka have been tasted. Seeing that the three people intend to leave Osaka for a different place to play, Sumitomo Kumiko realized that it could not be delayed. During the chat, Sumitomo Kumiko stood up suddenly and bowed to Xia Yu, with a very sincere attitude, softly begging: "Xia Yu-jun, I wonder if I can ask you to stay in Osaka for one day." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, looking at the clear gaze of the pure and lovely girl in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he glanced at Elena, who was surprised. After seeing Sumitomo Kumiko yesterday, Xia Yu realized that his deliberate concealment has no effect. As long as the Sumitomo family''s current core layer is not stupid, he will definitely ask Sumitomo Kumiko''s itinerary. As long as he asks, he can''t hide. Before going to bed last night, when Xia Yu talked to Elena about the Sumitomo family, he mentioned whether the Sumitomo family would invite him and when will the invitation be? Regarding whether to invite, Elena agrees with Xia Yu, sure that the Sumitomo family will not remain indifferent. But in terms of time, Xia Yu guessed the day after tomorrow, and Elena guessed the next afternoon. It now appears that Xia Yu has clearly won, which is why Elena is surprised. Xia Yu opened her mouth slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Kumiko, is there anything wrong with you?" Seeing Xia Yu did not refuse, Sumitomo Kumiko smiled sweetly, and took out a beautifully crafted invitation letter from her bag, handed it to Xia Yu, and softly explained: "Xia Yujun, this is my grandfather who asked me to bring it here. For you, he said he wants to invite you and Sister Elena to come to our house tomorrow." Xia Yu accepted the invitation letter with a smile, and when he opened it, he found that it was a paragraph written in vigorous and powerful handwriting. The words between the lines revealed importance and sincerity. The person who signed the letter was Shinichi Sumitomo. Patriarch of the Sumitomo family, founder of the Sumitomo Foundation that re-emerged after the war! This is one of the characters standing on the top of the island nation! After closing the invitation letter, Xia Yu smiled sideways at Elena, then smiled and said to Sumitomo Kumiko: "Kumiko, thank you for your invitation. Please rest assured, we will be there on time tomorrow." Sumitomo Kumiko showed a happy smile, bowed deeply to Xia Yu again, and said with joy, "Xia Yujun, thank you!" "You don''t need to be so polite. I should thank you. I don''t know how many people want to visit Mr. Shinichi Sumitomo. Now that the old man actively invites me, I am deeply honored." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said. At this time, Sandy Mellon suddenly said to Sumitomo Kumiko jokingly: "Kumiko, what about me?" Sumitomo Kumiko smiled sweetly, took Sandi Mellon''s hand, and whispered: "Sandy, my grandpa said before, you are one of our most precious guests. I can accompany you wherever you want to go. go with." Sandy Mellon shook her head and said with a chuckle: "I''m kidding, your grandpa is chatting with Xia Yu, I won''t go." "I am going to rest in the residence for a period of time to accumulate more energy for the next few days." Xia Yu couldn''t help looking at Cindy Mellon, but unexpectedly she happened to look over. For a few seconds, Cindy Mellon''s eyes drifted to other places, but from the brighter smile on her face and the faint pink halo, it can be seen that her inner activities at this time are not as calm as they appear. A weird thought arose in Xia Yu''s mind, and then he shook his head slightly to wave it away. Realizing that the atmosphere is cooling off, Xia Yu took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Tomorrow''s things are too late to prepare tonight Now we are still together, having fun is the most important thing." "Should we continue to rest for a while, or leave here and go out and walk around." "Well, shall we go out?" The three girls looked at each other, and they reached an agreement by merely communicating with each other. Elena said to Xia Yu in a slightly questioning tone. Of course Xia Yu had no objection, and smiled and nodded in agreement. Then everyone left the restaurant, found a beautiful park, and started a leisurely walk after dinner. Happy hours are always short. A day''s time flows quickly. In the morning of the next day, Xia Yu dressed formally, accompanied by Elena, went to the Sumitomo family... PS: Sorry, people are going crazy these days, the update is not very effective, sorry sorry v3 Chapter 1223: Sudden proposal Latest website: The Sumitomo family did not hold a welcome ceremony to Xia Yu with much fanfare, but it does not mean that they did not pay attention to it. "Xia Jun, Ms. Elena, I am Sumitomo Shinichi, and I welcome you on behalf of the Sumitomo family!" When Xia Yu and Elena arrived at the Sumitomo family, they saw three generations of Sumitomo Shinichi, Sumitomo Yasuke and Sumitomo Kumiko standing at the door, showing their importance to him. This kind of specification is actually extremely high. After all, Shinichi Sumitomo personally greeted Xia Yu as a figure of the same level. This is a very high courtesy and recognition. Of course Xia Yu could feel it. Therefore, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he shook hands with Sumitomo Shinichi to thank him: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, I am really sorry to ask you to meet him in person." "Yes, Mr. Xia is the most honored guest of our family, and I should be the one to receive him." Sumitomo Shinichi said with a kind smile. "Hurry up inside, let''s sit and say!" "After you!" ... After a few polite excuses, Xia Yu walked in together at the warm invitation of Sumitomo Shinichi, while Elena talked to Sumitomo Kumiko in a low voice. The Sumitomo family is worthy of being the top big family in the island country. It has a long heritage and can be felt from the various layouts of the living room, which has great cultural connotations. But he only looked back a little while watching. Sumitomo Shinichi introduced Xia Yu to his son next to him: "Xia Jun, let me introduce to you. This is my eldest son, Yasuke. He is now the chairman of Sumitomo Bank. You may not know him, but your Subordinates should have had a lot of exchanges with Kang Jie." "Mr. Sumitomo Yasuke, hello!" "Xia Jun, hello!" "As for my granddaughter Kumiko, you have known each other before, so I won''t introduce it." "Haha..." After a brief acquaintance, a group of people started chatting. Of course, if it is a group of people chatting, in fact it is basically Xia Yu and Sumitomo Shinichi chatting, Sumitomo Yasuke occasionally makes a few words, Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko are listening quietly while smiling. "Xia Jun, I don''t know when you came to the island country?" "Although we have never seen each other before, but Xia Jun, your name is like a thunderbolt, and I have been looking forward to getting to know you." Sumitomo Shinichi asked Xia Yu with a smile, and even flattered Xia Yu. People in the sedan chair carry people, verbal flattery does not cost any, Xia Yu will naturally not be stingy. "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, I have just arrived in the island country not long." "Before I came to the island country, I did some homework. You created the current Sumitomo Consortium and brought the Sumitomo family back to prosperity. I have always hoped to ask you for advice, but I have never had the opportunity." "Fortunately, I was lucky. I met Miss Kumiko, and I was fortunate enough to come to your family today and have a good chat with you." "Xia Jun is too modest to ask for advice. We should discuss with each other." "Yesterday, I was still telling Kang Jie that he has lived so old, and he is totally incomparable to you. He still doesn''t believe it. It just happened to take advantage of today''s opportunity to let him recognize his abilities." While talking, Shinichi Sumitomo also glanced at Sumitomo Yasuke, who happened to show an awkward smile. This technique of belittling one''s own person and flattering others can bring the other person''s nerves closer and relax. However, Xia Yu is actually an old fox with a young appearance but a gully chest. He can easily detect it, but he also came with the mentality of getting closer to the Sumitomo family, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, Sumitomo Yasuke Your husband¡¯s ability is much better than mine. The most obvious is that he can manage Sumitomo Bank, but I have been idle. This is the most obvious gap." "You said that, don''t you want to hide it, right? I came with a learning mentality today, can''t you let me go home empty-handed?" "Hahaha..." Shinichi Sumitomo couldn''t help but shook his head and laughed. "Xia Junzhen can make a joke. You are the most honored friend of our family. How could I do such a thing?" "Just ask, I know everything I can answer." ... When Sumitomo Shinichi said this, Xia Yu didn''t care about it. He had a hunch that this visit would definitely have some gains, otherwise Sumitomo Shinichi would just make himself face. Sure enough, the content of the next chat became very complicated because of Xia Yu''s problem. It can be said that it was a judgment on the international situation from the economic characteristics and industrial development of various regions of the island country. Although Xia Yu believes that the overall view is the strongest in the world, he is after all a human being and not a god, and he cannot understand the other side. There are always some shortcomings or ignorances. And this time chatting inspired him a lot. At the same time, he also learned from the words and attitudes of Sumitomo Shinichi that some of the more secret things of the major families and consortia of the island country, there are some old things accumulated grievances that the intelligence department of Luonet cannot investigate. Overall, this visit can be said to be quite rewarding. At noon, due to the hospitality, Xia Yu and Elena stayed in the Sumitomo family and enjoyed an island-style lunch. Then, they left the Sumitomo family with the warm welcome of Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Yasuke. In the next week, Xia Yu and Elena teamed up with Sandy Mellon to travel around the island nation of Tokyo, Nagano, Hokkaido and other places to appreciate the unique scenery of the island nation. Originally in Elena''s imagination, it was a sweet journey between her and Xia Yu, but Sandy Mellon unexpectedly appeared, which made her unexpected. But Sandy Mellon is a very agile and likable girl, with a very moving smile and a very sweet mouth. Elena couldn''t get angry with her, and she was depressed for a while before she accepted the reality. In addition to the three of them, Sandi Mellon''s university classmate Sumitomo Kumiko was also in the team for good reasons. She is an island nation. She must be a host and entertain Xia Yu and others. Of course, everyone will not refuse. In addition to the bodyguards, the group left cheers and laughs around the island country, and at the same time left memorable photos with their cameras. On the last day, the group had dinner at a top restaurant called "JuwaritsukeSobaMuramasa" in Minato-ku, Tokyo. "Have a great time for more than a week, let us toast the happy hour of the past!" "Hey!" "Kumiko, thank you for your hard work. During this period of time, let you run around with us." After a group of people celebrated, Xia Yu toasted Sumitomo Kumiko alone. Sumitomo Kumiko smiled sweetly and said softly: "Xia Yujun, this is what I should do. In fact, I have never been to most places. I am very happy to be able to go with you, thank you!" After speaking, she picked up the cup with rice wine in both hands, touched Xia Yu lightly, and then took a sip. After the wine was in her belly, her pretty face was irritatingly flushed. "Sandy, the island tour is over, where are you going? Are you going back to America?" After taking a sip of wine, Xia Yu looked at Sandy Mellon and asked with a smile. Sandy Mellon blinked and looked at Xia Yu expectantly: "Xia Yu, I am going to go to your hometown of Xiangjiang according to the original plan. I heard that Xiangjiang is the most prosperous in Asia besides the island. There is also a beautiful nickname called Oriental Gems. I want to see it." "I found the information. It was said that Xiangjiang belonged to Huaxia before, and I also planned to go to the mysterious Huaxia, but my family warned me not to go, so I gave up." "By the way, Xia Yu, do you know what China is like?" "The vast majority of reports on China in the media are negative, but there are also many positive ones. I don''t know which ones are true." "Does China really have a history of five thousand years?" Obviously, Sandy Mellon was very curious about Huaxia. From Xiangjiang to Huaxia, he was like a curious baby, blinking with big eyes, full of curiosity to explore the unknown. Hearing Sandy Mellon¡¯s question, Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko, who had never been to China, looked at Xia Yu together. The three pairs of beautiful eyes focused on him, and Xia Yu''s mood was instinctively happy. He smiled lightly and said: "Huaxia is one of the four ancient countries, and the only one of the four ancient countries that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and passed on to the present. "China¡¯s history and civilization must be more than five thousand years old. In 1979, an archaeological team discovered an ancient city and altar that was more than 6,000 years old at the Chengtou Mountain site in Huaxia¡¯s Xiang province." "It''s just that because many of China''s historical relics have not been successfully applied for, the United Nations has not recognized it, and foreign countries do not recognize it and do not understand it." "..." Seeing that the three women were attracted by what he said, Xia Yu was full of interest and explained in detail what he knew about the civilization and characteristics of China. At the same time, Elena and others raised questions from time to time, and Xia Yu used his knowledge reserves to give detailed and serious answers. The Chinese civilization is full of charm, and it can''t be described in just a few words. Xia Yu''s words aroused the curiosity of the three women. Sandy Mellon couldn''t help but murmured longingly: "The United States has only been in existence for more than two centuries. I really want to see what China is like with a culture of five thousand years." "I once heard my father say that in the past two thousand years, China has been ranked first in the world most of the time." "He has been to Huaxia several times in the past few years, but he didn''t tell me anything about it I don¡¯t know when I will have the opportunity to visit Huaxia..." Sumitomo Kumiko''s ethereal and pure voice sounded immediately. At this time, Elena looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Xia Yu, I remember you said that your hometown is in China, and it was your great-grandfather who came to live in Xiangjiang, right?" "Yes!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said. After speaking, Xia Yu glanced around, and finally fixed on Elena. He could see that Elena was actually very curious about China, but because of her personality, she did not resemble Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko. That''s so obvious. Xia Yu pondered slightly, and suddenly said: "It seems that you all want to visit China, maybe I can take you there." PS: First more n. v3 Chapter 1224: Shura Field? Latest URL: "Really?" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, the three women''s eyes lit up, and Sandy Mellon murmured softly. Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course it is true." "Don''t worry about your personal safety!" "Okay, I finally have a chance to visit Huaxia." Sandy Mellon said happily, her beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons. "Xia Yu, I want to visit your hometown then." Elena next to Xia Yu said expectantly in her eyes. "Xia Yujun, can I go too?" The innocent and lovely Sumitomo Kumiko hesitated for a moment, and said softly, the ethereal and sweet voice made people happy. Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course, I sincerely invite you to go with me." "Thank you!" Sumitomo Kumiko grinned at the corner of her mouth and bowed slightly to thank. "You can think about where you want to visit in Huaxia, we have to develop a time-saving route." "We still have a few days to go. After going to Xiangjiang tomorrow, I will take everyone to visit Xiangjiang before going to the mainland." After Xia Yu finished speaking, the girls discussed enthusiastically, not even in the mood to enjoy the food. But after talking for so long, the food has been cold, Xia Yu simply called the waiter, replaced all the dinner worth several million yen, and served a hot one again. Early the next morning, a group of people gathered again and boarded the plane to Xiangjiang... This time, Xia Yu did not notify Li Qian and He Chaoqiong in advance. First, it was unnecessary, and second, it was indeed not good. After all, he brought three beautiful and exotic girls over, and it was too sad that Li Qian and He Chaoqiong came to pick up the plane. After arriving at Xiangjiang, Xia Yu arranged the three of them in a sea-view villa and arranged for servants to serve before returning home. "Mom, did you see where Cici went?" After returning home, Xia Yu did not see Li Qian at home, and called Li Qian in the villa where Li Qian lived. The servant also said that Li Qian had gone out, and Xia Yu, who was a little confused, found his mother. Chen Mei was stunned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Chao Qiong came today, and Yossi went out together, and said to go to the charity fund, and to do charity activities today." Xia Yu smiled: "Oh, I see." After all, Xia Yu walked to the hanger. Seeing Xia Yu''s actions, Chen Mei put aside her work and asked: "A Yu, you just came back from the island country, will you not eat at home tonight?" "No, Mom, I brought a few friends over here in the island country to receive them, and I will take Cici." Xia Yu said while changing shoes. Chen Mei looked a little darker, and then squeezed out a smile, and exhorted understandingly: "Well, I won''t cook so many meals at home at night, so as not to waste it, you just need to take care of yourself and Cici outside." "I see, don''t worry!" While talking, Xia Yu had already changed his shoes, then picked up his coat and walked out of the house. After a while, there was a roar of car engines outside the house, and then the sound became farther and farther away, and gradually could not be heard. Twenty minutes later, Xia Yu came to the resident of Jiuding Charity Fund. In line with the principle of low-key, plus charity funds do not require external donations, so Jiuding Charity Fund does not have a sign, except for people in the same building, no one else knows that Jiuding Charity Fund is here. Xia Yu has been here many times, and the employees all know that Xia Yu is the real big boss, and Li Qian is just the boss¡¯s wife, so after seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, the employees were shocked to greet Xia Yu respectfully. "Hi boss!" "Hi boss!" "Well, is Wang Ling in the company?" Xia Yu caught an employee who seemed more clever and asked. "Boss, Mr. Wang has been out with Dong Li. It has been almost two hours. When will I be back? There is a schedule at the office. Do I need to bring it for you?" The employee was busy bending over and said respectfully. Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "No, I''ll go by myself and do it!" After that, Xia Yu took the bodyguards towards the office, leaving behind the highly motivated employees. After inquiring about the office, Xia Yu learned that Li Qian and others would be back within half an hour according to the itinerary, and Xia Yu simply inspected the Jiuding Charity Fund to understand the status of the foundation. Speaking of it, since the establishment of this Jiuding Charity Fund, he really hasn''t taken care of it, and it is left to Li Qian and Wang Ling to take care of it. In his mind, this Jiuding Charity Fund is actually Li Qian¡¯s business. , So that she can have a place to struggle, so as not to be depressed after often not seeing him. People are prone to cranky thinking when they are free, and depressed when they are thinking about it. Therefore, being busy can enrich the soul and live happily. It was said that it was about half an hour, but in fact it was less than 20 minutes before Li Qian and others returned. When they opened the office door and saw Xia Yu sitting on the sofa looking at them with a smile, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong were stunned for a while, they ran towards Xia Yu in surprise. "A Yu, when did you come back?" "So happy~" "I miss you so much!" Xia Yu hugged Li Qian, feeling fragrant and full of jade. Listening to her words from the heart and feeling her trembling, Xia Yu was very happy while feeling her heart. "Cici, I miss you too, didn''t I come back today?" Xia Yu stroked Li Qian''s back, smiled and looked at He Chaoqiong, who was standing quietly with his rosy eyes, pursed his mouth, and opened his other hand. "Chao Qiong, long time no see..." "You have been away for more than two months..." "Don''t I call you often?" "The call was made, but I can''t see you..." ... When Xia Yu was with Li Qian, Wang Ling, who came back with Li Qian, had already quietly closed the office door. There were bodyguards waiting outside, so no one could disturb Xia Yu. After mutual complaints, the two people''s mood gradually calmed down. "A Yu, how long will you stay here this time?" He Chaoqiong looked up at Xia Yu, his eyes full of expectation. She knew that before Xia Yu said that she would stay in the island country for a long time. She was mentally prepared and planned to go to the island country to find Xia Yu. But he never thought that Xia Yu would suddenly come back to Xiangjiang without a sound and appear in front of them. This was a sudden surprise. This kind of surprise made He Chaoqiong feel a little dreamy. Although Li Qian did not ask questions, Xia Yu saw the same feelings in her eyes. Xia Yu pondered for a moment and then smiled and said, "I am going to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days, and then take you to the mainland together. Do you want to go?" "Go to the mainland?" "Of course I want to go!" "As long as I can be by your side, you can go anywhere." The two said happily. "Then be prepared these days." "It''s not in a hurry tonight. Let''s go out for dinner with me. I have friends in Xiangjiang. Of course, in addition to friends, there is a sister you know." Saying this, Xia Yu tried to use euphemism as much as possible. Li Qian and He Chaoqiong looked at each other, and after a while, Li Qian said in a questioning tone: "Is it sister Elena?" Xia Yu scratched her Qiong nose and chuckled softly: "That''s right, she said that she missed you very much. If she didn''t want to accompany the other two friends, she planned to come to you with me." Li Qian and He Chaoqiong are both very smart. How can I not realize that the two friends Ilena is with now are definitely girls. So Xia Yu came back to Xiangjiang with the three girls. Thinking of this, He Chaoqiong''s mouth pursed subconsciously, feeling a little sour in his heart. But when she saw that Li Qian was still wearing a sweet smile and looked indifferent, she remembered the content of Li Qian''s private chat with her before, hiding her unhappiness, and a smile appeared on her face again. The change in He Chaoqiong''s expression was captured by Xia Yu, and he sighed in his heart, holding her hand slightly harder. Feeling Xia Yu''s actions, the smile on He Chaoqiong''s face became more natural. "Well, you two, do you want to sort it out, we''re about to leave?" "Wait a moment, I want to put on some makeup first." "My hair is messed up too, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com has to comb it again..." Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief as the two entered the room in the back room to rearrange their makeup. Fortunately, the two of them didn''t react much. But he thought of the other side again, and the smile that had just emerged faded again. It was said that there were three women in one drama. At this time, five women gathered together, and the five women were at the level of beauty and disaster. Although two of them had nothing to do with him, some things were inevitable. It seems that for some time in the future, he will be in pain and happy, and he will have a headache... PS: I solemnly remind that there are pirated copies on Taobao. I want to swear.

The fake is the shop of ¡°Fall in Love with Food Factory¡±. . v3 Chapter 1225: Master of Eternal Jewelry Company Latest website: Women are consistent in their love of beauty, and dressing is no exception. What''s more, both Li Qian and He Chaoqiong know that they will see three girls later, they don''t want to be compared, so they can only dress themselves carefully. Xia Yu also guessed this, he could only helplessly leaning on the sofa, waiting patiently. It took nearly half an hour before Li Qian and He Chaoqiong walked out of the room. They were indeed more refined and beautiful than before. Xia Yu immediately praised: "Is this a fairy who just came down from the sky?" After speaking, Xia Yu was still surprised, a look of surprise and infatuation. Although they knew that Xia Yu was making them happy, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong were delighted from the bottom of their hearts. "How can you say so beautiful, it will make people happy." Unlike Li Qian, who has a pretty face and a smile, He Chaoqiong is more lively. "I''m telling the truth, who dares to say that Chaoqiong is not a little fairy?" Xia Yu said solemnly. He Chaoqiong''s face was full of joy, his eyes twitched, and he suddenly asked, "Then are you planning to gather the Seven Fairies?" Xia Yu''s face became stiff, and he shook his head and smiled: "Why? Chao Qiong, what is thinking in your little head?" With that said, Xia Yu gave He Chaoqiong a brain collapse. He Chaoqiong gave a soft cry, covered his forehead, and made a pitiful look. Li Qian snorted, covered her mouth and laughed, and even her body with Feng Yun trembled, which attracted Xia Yu''s attention and made He Chaoqiong envy. "Well, it''s getting late, let''s go!" After teasing for a while, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong''s mood became relaxed and happy, Xia Yu raised his hand to check the time, and then left the office with them. After getting in the car, Xia Yu squeezed in the back seat with Li Qian and He Chaoqiong. His car was specially made, and the rear space was larger than that of a normal car, so three people would not be particularly crowded. What''s more, the three of them are not obese! Xia Yu sat in the middle, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong sat on the two sides, both of them were close to Xia Yu. The street flashing out of the car window did not attract the attention of the three people. He Chaoqiong asked softly: "A Yu, who are the other two people besides Elina?" After He Chaoqiong asked, Li Qian looked at Xia Yu tightly. She also wanted to know who the other two friends of Elena were. Xia Yu smiled slightly and introduced: "One of them is Sandy Mellon. I met him more than two years ago. He met at the reception where President Ronald Reagan took office. He was the current Mellon family. The owner¡¯s daughter." "Sandy Mellon completed her university studies ahead of schedule and was traveling around the world. She happened to come to the island country. I met her while visiting the park in the island country of Osaka with Elena." "The other one I just met some time ago is Sandy''s university classmate, a native of the island country, named Sumitomo Kumiko, from the island country''s Sumitomo family. Her grandfather is now the head of the Sumitomo Foundation, one of the island''s six major consortia." "At that time, Sumitomo Kumiko and Sandi were walking in the park together. They happened to meet each other, so they met." Xia Yu had no reservations about He Chaoqiong and Li Qian, and explained all the details of their understanding. However, after hearing Xia Yu''s introduction, He Chaoqiong and Li Qian fell into silence. Li Qian is okay. Before she met Xia Yu, she was an ordinary person at the bottom. Even though she has been with Xia Yu for many years, she has been well protected. Although her vision has broadened a lot, she does not know much about things outside of Xiangjiang. Many, so apart from hearing about the Sumitomo Foundation, I don¡¯t know the Mellon family in the United States. Therefore, her reaction was not great. The impression of Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko, who had never met before, was the princess of a big family. But He Chaoqiong was different. Her reaction was a little bigger. She bit her lip, and she felt uncomfortable at this time. Therefore, she comes from a big family, and she knows the horror of Mellon family and Sumitomo family. Her father and family, who have great influence in Xiangjiang and Omen, are very weak in front of these two families. Just now, she was a little bit apprehensive about Xia Yu and brought two female friends back, but now she felt an inferiority complex in her heart. Although I am Xia Yu''s girlfriend, I really didn''t help Xia Yu at all, and he was better than Li Qian in his family. She knew Elena. She had known Elena¡¯s family, and knew that Xia Yu was with Elena and was of great help to Xia Yu, so she had no objection for Xia Yu. Now there are two girls who are not worse than Elena, and may even be stronger. Although I don''t know whether there is a substantial relationship with Xia Yu, she is smart but knows she can''t do anything at all. She looked at Li Qian subconsciously, and saw Li Qian''s still sweet and pure smile. He Chaoqiong trembled in his heart and lowered his head slightly. Thinking about it carefully, apart from being better than Li Qian, she is also inferior to her in helping and caring for Xia Yu. "What''s wrong? Chao Qiong, what are you thinking about?" Feeling He Chaoqiong suddenly felt a little depressed, Xia Yu stroked her hair and said softly. He Chaoqiong smiled, blinked and looked at Xia Yu: "It''s nothing, I was thinking just now. It seems that I have heard of these two families." Xia Yu smiled faintly, and said casually: "There is no need to deliberately understand, maybe our Xia family can be like them by then." He Chaoqiong tapped his head lightly, her pretty face was full of determination, and solemnly said: "Well, A Yu, you are so powerful, you can definitely do it!" "Haha..." "The road is still long. After all, these big families in the world have a history of one to two hundred or even hundreds of thousands of years. Such a long-term gap is not so easy to catch up." "let it go!" Xia Yu laughed, shook his head and said. Although Xia Yu spoke casually, He Chaoqiong secretly made up his mind. She raised her head and looked at Xia Yu with a fixed gaze, and said: "A Yu, I have almost completed my university credits, only the last subject is left. As long as I reach A, I will be able to graduate from university. I want to do things for you like Sister Qian!" Xia Yu was stunned. He looked at He Chaoqiong, and saw the unwavering will in He Chaoqiong''s eyes. He couldn''t help but suddenly, what he just said at random had greatly affected his beloved girl. Yes, even though He Chaoqiong is very clingy and very weak in love, she is still a proud little princess. Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a little guilty, and he really ignored He Chaoqiong. He smiled happily and said: "Okay, my family Chaoqiong has finally graduated, do you have any ideas?" "Or what are you good at?" Seeing Xia Yu''s promise, He Chaoqiong was overjoyed. She immediately said, "A Yu, I studied management. In addition to this major, I also studied design, and I also designed many works!" "Is that so?" "Ok¡­¡­" A little thought flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes. After a long time, his eyes lit up and he said to He Chaoqiong: "Chao Qiong, I also have an eternal jewelry company. I am now vying with Zheng Yutong''s Chow Tai Fook for the leading position. I have not been able to decide the winner or loser. It¡¯s the lack of someone who can throw everything away." "Chao Qiong, are you interested in being the queen of fashion?" He Chaoqiong did not expect that Xia Yu actually planned to let her enter a large company such as Eternal Jewelry Company. A heavy pressure is coming. But Xia Yu''s "Queen of Fashion" aroused her infinite fighting spirit. She nodded and said the most determined words in a crisp voice: "A Yu, thank you, I will not mess around I will definitely become your fashion queen!" "Of course I believe that my family Chaoqiong is so good." Xia Yu smiled and said encouragingly. "Nothing, just a little bit better than the average person." The mood was restored, and even better, He Chaoqiong regained a lively personality. He grinned at the corner of his mouth and said embarrassedly. "Haha..." Xia Yu laughed happily. Even with the other side, Li Qian showed a knowing smile, gently holding Xia Yu''s arm, and leaning her head on Xia Yu''s shoulder. In between talking and laughing, the car finally came to the sea view villa where Elena and others were staying... PS: Take advantage of the opportunity to deal with He Chaoqiong''s line, otherwise she will become a transparent person, and the emotional line will be broken v3 Chapter 1226: This is a special season Latest website: When Xia Yu''s car drove in, he happened to see Elena and the three women walking in the garden. His motorcade came in, which naturally attracted the attention of the three. Only when Xia Yu took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong out of the car, except that Elena was only slightly surprised. Both Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko couldn''t help being surprised, and looked back and forth at Xia Yu, Elena and Li Qian with strange eyes. This scene went beyond their expectations, and it also made them, especially Sandy Mellon, find that their knowledge of Xia Yu is too shallow. Xia Yu seems to have the characteristics of a playboy? For a time, the atmosphere in the garden was quite different. Xia Yu felt it out, but pretended not to notice, and walked over with Li Qian and He Chaoqiong. He Chaoqiong seemed to have changed some concepts in the car. After seeing Elena, he smiled sweetly on his face and greeted happily: "Sister Elena, long time no see, I miss you so much!" "Elena, I finally saw you again, welcome to Xiangjiang again!" Li Qian also said hello in a soft voice. "Chao Qiong, Cici, I miss you too!" Elena also showed a beautiful smile, saying hello to Li Qian and He Chaoqiong. This harmonious scene made Sandi Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko a little bit stunned. Especially Sandy Mellon, who kept blinking and blinking, finally fixed his gaze on the smiling Xia Yu, with a look of exploration in his eyes. Xia Yu introduced with a smile: "Xiandi, Kumiko, let me introduce to you." "This is Li Qian, this is He Chaoqiong." "Cici, Chao Qiong, this is Sandy from the United States, and this is Kumiko from an island country." "Santi, Kumiko, hello, welcome to Xiangjiang." "..." After some special greetings, the atmosphere finally became normal. Although Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko did not inquire, it can be seen that the relationship between He Chaoqiong and Li Qian and Xia Yu seems to be...the same as Elena. Sandy was okay. After all, she didn''t check Elena''s background, nor did she deliberately inquire, but Sumitomo Kumiko already knew Elena''s identity, the daughter of British Duke Carter Howard, and an absolute noble princess. It is precisely because she knows that her heart is not at peace at this time. Elena, such a noble lady with top background, is now able to accept this relationship in a harmonious and calm manner? This completely exceeded her expectations and broke her long-standing perception of the ancient European aristocracy. Before she knew it, she had a stronger curiosity about Xia Yu. The smile and sunshine in front of her was like Xia Yu, the big boy next door. What kind of magical powers did she have to make Elena and the people behind her? The family accepts all this. Even made her classmate Xiandi impressed by Xia Yu? None of this can be directly asked, she needs to slowly observe... After a brief acquaintance, Xia Yu asked everyone for their opinions and decided where to go for dinner tonight. Or go to the Peninsula Hotel on the edge of Victoria Harbour, enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour, and bring Sandy and Elena to appreciate the culture of Cantonese cuisine. Xia Yu, the ultimate boss, has arrived, and the best top-floor terrace restaurant naturally belongs to him. As night fell, the prosperous areas on both sides of Victoria Harbor "burned" coincidentally. Countless high-rise buildings are magnificent, the neon lights on the roadside are also lit up, there are crowds of people on the overpass, and the lights of cars under the overpass flicker. What a beautiful night scene! "Xia Yu, Xiangjiang is already very prosperous. Although it is not as good as Manhattan, it is already very prominent in the east." The breeze on the roof made everyone feel a refreshing feeling. Sandy looked at the night scenes on both sides of Victoria Harbour and said softly. Her words were approved by Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko. Elena said softly: "Xiangjiang is the pearl of the East. Although there are some shortcomings, it is really prosperous. The whole city has a blooming vigor." Li Qian and He Chaoqiong smiled, with a hint of pride flashing in their hearts, but they kept quiet, enjoying the night scene quietly. "The potential of Xiangjiang exists, and the key depends on how to stimulate it. The future is definitely bright." Xia Yu said with a light smile, a trace of blur in his eyes. He has seen the prosperous Xiangjiang in the 21st century, and the current Xiangjiang is far from that time. However, in the past two years, Hong Kong has indeed changed rapidly. Especially after his active intervention, the Hong Kong government is now in line with the strategic goals of HeungKong Capital. Under this circumstance, the development of HeungKong is even faster, and all the shortcomings in all aspects are constantly being made up for, and the advantages are Continue to develop. It can be said that the current Xiangjiang is definitely the most prosperous than the entire Southeast Asia, much higher than Star City. However, he took a closer look and found that there was something missing. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized. Without the Symphony of Lights! Without the unique laser light music show! A Symphony of Lights is a famous laser light and music show in Hong Kong. It is jointly held by a total of 44 skyscrapers and landmarks on both sides of Hong Kong''s Victoria Harbour. Through interactive lighting and music effects, it showcases the dynamic and colorful Victoria Harbour one side. I still remember that the previous life was a tourism project invested by the Xiangjiang Tourism Bureau around 2004, and it was officially included in the "Guinness World Records" in the second year, becoming the world''s largest light and music show. And because of its various night scenes, the night scenes on both sides of Hong Kong''s Victoria Harbour are one of the world''s famous sightseeing spots. The night scenes of Hong Kong are among the world''s top three night scenes with the island of Hakodate and Naples, Italy! There are not so many skyscrapers on Hong Kong Island opposite Victoria Harbour, but there are quite a few, and among them, at least a dozen buildings belong to his property, almost all of which are obtained by bargaining. Think about the "Guinness World Records" magazine also belongs to him. He is fully qualified to create the well-known "Symphony of Lights" in advance, and become a dazzling tourism business card of Xiangjiang, boosting the development of Xiangjiang''s tourism industry and assisting Xiangjiang''s development strategy of "one core and six pillars". "Next time you come, maybe you will find that the night scene here will change significantly." After the decision, Xia Yu looked at the five girls who were enjoying the night view, and said with a light smile. Everyone looked at Xia Yu in surprise, but did not get Xia Yu''s explanation. The smart and wise Elena guessed that Xia Yu was going to act. She smiled at her mouth, looked at Xia Yu expectantly, and said softly: "Xia Yu, I look forward to seeing a different Victoria Harbour next time." Sandi heard it too. She blinked her eyes, looking at Xia Yu with agility, smile and expectation, and whispered: "I look forward to it too! Hee hee~" ... After talking and laughing, the waiter finally started serving dishes. A beautiful starry sky round table with red candles lit in the middle, red roses decorating the dining table, stacks of exquisite workmanship, dishes that look appetizing are placed on the dining table, the least eat Chinese food Sandy''s eyes were full of curiosity. After everyone was seated, Xia Yu refused the service of the attendant, personally opened a bottle of red wine, poured it into the container gracefully, and then gently shook the container to allow the red wine to fully contact the air and "breath" freely. Then it was gently poured into a goblet. "Dear beautiful ladies, this is the red wine I brought back from Chateau Romanni Conti in France. It was produced in 1783 and it has been two hundred years old. How about a taste?" After the introduction with a smile, Xia Yu handed the wine glasses to the sitting girl one by one starting from the nearest Elena. "This is the first time I taste two hundred years of red wine!" "What a rich fragrance..." "Come on, let''s toast!" "Cheers!" "Hey..." ... The five girls did not drink too much. Although Xia Yu drank most of a bottle of red wine, they also had blushing cheeks, each with a different beauty. In a slightly drunken state, a person''s nerves are slightly sluggish, and the problem of thinking is less complicated. For example, Sandi asked Xia Yu a question when everyone was enjoying the night view and chatting: "Xia Yu, are they all your girlfriends?" As soon as this question was said, everyone calmed down and focused on Xia Yu. Xia Yu looked at the three of Elena, showing love in his eyes, smiled lightly and nodded and said, "Yes, I love them!" "You are such a playboy, I haven''t seen it before." "But you do have a unique charm, which is very attractive to women, hehe~ bless you!" Sandi said seriously and then smiled and congratulated. "Thank you!" Xia Yu thanked him with a knowing smile. The relationship between the three Elena involved was pointed out. Although they felt a little ashamed, they all smiled after Xia Yu answered. The smiles from the heart made Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko envy. Sandi supported Xia Yu with both hands on the railing, staring blankly at the colorful lights in the distance, and whispered softly, "Is this love...I don''t know where my Prince Charming is..." Sumitomo Kumiko, who was so touched by his heart, also pressed her lips lightly, and his thoughts flew towards the gorgeous and deep starry sky... Xia Yu and the others looked at each other and showed a silent smile. April, this is a special season... v3 Chapter 1227: 9 State Industrial Group Status Latest website: Chapter 1227 Current Situation of Jiuzhou Industrial Group Although Xia Yu''s ancestral land is in the mainland, he is a native of Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang is his hometown. Now that Sandi, Elena and others have come to Xiangjiang, Xia Yu naturally wants to lead them to appreciate the charm of Xiangjiang. The night view of Victoria Harbour has already been tasted. The United States, the United Kingdom and the island countries have more ambitious attractions such as Ocean Paradise, and naturally they are not worth visiting. However, places like Wong Tai Sin Temple, Repulse Bay, and Kowloon Museum have left the footprints of everyone. Three days later, the trip to Xiangjiang ended, and the group was full of expectations and boarded the ship to the mainland. A few days ago, Xia Yu had already had someone contact Liu Zhihe and told him that he would take someone to the mainland. In fact, as Xia Yu, going to the mainland can be unimpeded, and there is no need to report. The mainland is eager for him to come. But this time is different. Except for He Chaoqiong and Li Qian, Elena is the daughter of Duke Howard, Sumitomo Kumiko is from the Sumitomo family, and Sandi is from the Mellon family. The identity of either one is not simple. It¡¯s better when nothing happens. If something happens, then there will be some trouble for the mainland. Moreover, foreign countries are still looking at the mainland with tinted glasses. Although the mainland has reformed and opened up, most of the investment in the mainland comes from overseas Chinese, and very few come from European and American countries. The mainland has always hoped to reverse the views of European and American countries. , Then the attitude of the big families and consortia in these capitalist countries is crucial. Even if Sandi, Elena and others just come to play, they will definitely bring back the impression of the mainland to other countries. Because of all these considerations, Xia Yu still informed the mainland of the news in advance so that the mainland could be prepared. It doesn''t affect everyone''s interest, even if he can help the mainland a little, at least his kindness to the mainland can be obtained. When Xia Yu''s ship was about to reach the port of Pengcheng, he found that Pengcheng had undergone tremendous changes. From a distance, although there are few high-rise buildings like Xiangjiang, and most of the buildings are low-rise houses of three or five stories, at least the atmosphere of a small fishing village is almost invisible, and the breath of youthfulness and modernization is blowing. "Mr. Xia, beautiful ladies, welcome you!" After getting off the ship, Xia Yu and the others were greeted with a grand welcome. The first two were Li Bin and Director Liu Zhihe, who were also the first and second leaders of Pengcheng. Both Xia Yu have met before. Li Bin has been in his current position since 1981. He is an old revolutionary and is 64 years old this year. "Secretary Li, Director Liu, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw you, I¡¯m really flattered if you are waiting here!" "Mr. Xia''s words are wrong. You are our best friend. I came in and hoped that you could come and sit. It''s just that you have a busy schedule. Now that you are here, how can I not come?" "Secretary Li, I will come to the mainland more when I have time." "Mr. Xia, Secretary Liu has also received the news, but it''s just because I''m going north for a meeting and can''t come temporarily, so I entrusted me to say hello to you." The Secretary Liu mentioned by Li Bin is naturally the top leader of Guangdong Province Liu Zhongfei. He took office in 1980 and is also an old friend with Xia Yu. This big man is a steadfast reformer. "Thank you Secretary Liu for me. He is too old and has to work hard and pay more attention to his body." "Haha, Mr. Xia, I think you should tell him in person. Now Secretary Liu is not free. When you return to Xiangjiang and pass by Guangdong Province, Secretary Liu should be there. He must have a good chat with you..." Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a helpless smile, and said wittily: "It seems I have to change my route..." ... While talking and laughing, Xia Yu shook hands with Li Bin and Liu Zhihe. "Mr. Xia, let me introduce to you, these are..." Then, Li Bin introduced to Xia Yu the big men of Pengcheng he had brought, and Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with them one by one. After Li Bin finished the introduction, Xia Yu introduced the people he brought one by one, of course only the names. Others don¡¯t need to be introduced too much. Although Xia Yu just told people to Liu Zhihe briefly before, with the mainland¡¯s intelligence capabilities, the identity of the five beautiful girls next to Xia Yu has long been investigated. Li Bin and others will definitely look at it. Go through the information of Sandi and Elena. Now he introduces, it is nothing more than a cutscene. "Mr. Xia, you are struggling, should you go to stay first or sit with me?" After Li Bin inquired, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Secretary Lao Li is bothering, but I don¡¯t have to. I have made the Marco Polo Hotel ready, so I¡¯m going to stay in Guangdong Province for a day. I will go north tomorrow and go shopping. Great rivers and mountains." Li Bin showed regret and then said with an enthusiastic smile: "The beautiful mainland is countless. Mr. Xia has to take a good stroll. Now that you have a travel plan, I shouldn''t interfere too much." "But you have to show some face. I have arranged it at noon today, and let the ladies from afar taste Cantonese cuisine among our eight major cuisines." "Since Secretary Li has arranged it, I will definitely have to join in, otherwise it will be troublesome if I don''t let me come in for tea next time." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. Knowing that Xia Yu was joking, Li Bin was also happy to get along with Xia Yu. He suddenly held his face, pretending to be serious, and said, "I really might shirk off excuses." "Haha..." The group could not help laughing. Afterwards, the group of people got on the bus one after another, and the imposing convoy drove to the reception place arranged by Li Bin... Not to mention Li Bin¡¯s hospitality for the time being. After lunch, Xia Yu and others did not stop and took a large team of bodyguards to drive north by themselves. There will be many famous scenic spots in Guangdong in the future, but most of them are man-made scenic spots, which have not yet appeared at this time. Natural scenic spots such as Baiyun Mountain, Luofu Mountain and Xiqiao Mountain have not been developed at this time. Not worth visiting. In the southeastern part of the mainland, Ruolunshan, which province has many famous mountains and ancient mountains in Gan Province? Huashan, Sanqingshan, Longhushan, Jinggangshan, Lushan and so on, no matter which one is very well-known, either has a reputation from ancient times, has a profound cultural heritage, or wears a natural aura like Jinggangshan. In addition to the mountains, there are also scenic spots with unique humanities such as the Tengwang Pavilion and the Porcelain Capital. Since 1979, Guangdong Province has made great strides in construction for four years. In 1978, the economy of Guangdong Province ranked 28th in the country, but now, the economic scale of Guangdong Province has rushed to the third place in the country, the economy is strong, and various infrastructure constructions are also underway on a large scale. The level of infrastructure such as roads and bridges in Guangdong Province also has a lot to do with Xia Yu. The mainland''s funds are limited, and it is impossible to give them all to Guangdong Province. Other provinces and cities will certainly not be willing, but they need a large amount of funds for construction. Most of the money comes from overseas compatriots. Xia Yu''s Jiuzhou Industrial Group is the largest investor and has made the greatest contribution to the construction of Guangdong Province. The predecessor of Kyushu Industrial Group was Kyushu Industrial Co., Ltd. After being upgraded to a holding group, most of the original assets were given to the newly established first subsidiary-Kyushu Road and Bridge Group, and then to Kyushu Infrastructure Co., Ltd. The Jiuzhou Road and Bridge Group has successively invested more than RMB 5 billion in various constructions in the past few years. The initial investment of RMB 400 million in the construction of Pengcheng to Yangcheng, a toll expressway with 50-year property rights has been completed and put into use. However, because of the low per capita car ownership, this highway is temporarily operating at a loss. It can be said that before the increase in cars, all high-speed companies will lose money, at least more than a decade. However, Xia Yu did not focus on the initial petty profits, nor did he care about these losses. Anyway, the money he earned on the mainland was difficult to convert into US dollars, and the black market could not bear his huge exchange volume. Instead of letting these amounts If the huge renminbi is left to depreciate, it is better to make full use of it. The infrastructure that consumes the most funds becomes the destination of these funds. Of course, Jiuzhou Road and Bridge Group has also become a guest of all cities in Guangdong Province. They hope to introduce Jiuzhou Road and Bridge Group into it, which can drive employment and greatly improve the level of infrastructure in their respective jurisdictions. However, Luo Yunfei, the president of Kyushu Industrial Group, is not a fool. He knows that this is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money can be spent, so he invests selectively. In this case, although the level of traffic in Guangdong Province is not as good as that of later generations, cars can still move smoothly without such bumps. But when the team left Guangdong and entered the boundaries of Jiangxi province, the road conditions dropped by several grades. The bodyguards are all high-street jeeps, driving very bumpy, but Xia Yu and others took into account comfort and driving performance, riding in a bulletproof version of the SUV specially built by Tiangong Automobile Group, even so, still feel bumpy. Fortunately, all the way was unimpeded. When night was about to come, Xia Yu and others stopped in the small county town on the border of Qiancheng and Guangdong Province, stayed at the local official hospitality, and then continued on the road the next day, and finally at around 11 in the morning. The team came to Xia Yu''s hometown. He is back... v3 Chapter 1228: Benefit hometown Latest website: Xia Yu is the most well-known and most influential overseas Chinese in Qianzhou City. He returned to his hometown again, and of course he was warmly welcomed by the government. However, when his team entered Longfeng County, he was greeted not by the previous Mayor Zhao, but by Sun Yucai, who took office in August 1981. He is only fifty years old now, and he is considered very young in this era. In order, it was airborne from the imperial capital ministries. After all, this was Xia Yu''s first meeting with Xu Yucai. However, Qianzhou City is his hometown after all. So when Sun Yucai went to Qianzhou City more than a year ago, Xia Yu already knew his background and he was regarded as the second-generation heir of the Sun family. He is the highest-ranking person in the contemporary Sun family. In terms of rank, he is the highest in Qianzhou City, but if he is placed in the capital where big men gather, he is still a lot worse. To be able to come to Qianzhou City, he is still desperate, and almost consumes most of the contacts accumulated by his parents. Coming, he can only do the rest by himself. If Qianzhou''s development is bright, then he naturally has more opportunities to display his ambitions. Therefore, for more than a year, Sun Yucai worked diligently and cared for the people, and worked hard for the development of Qianzhou City. Reluctantly, Qianzhou is a mountainous city, with weak foundations and difficult construction. Coupled with the lack of available resources, he is anxious. Therefore, after learning that Xia Yu, the golden thigh most likely to hold in Qianzhou City, came back, Sun Yucai almost put aside all the more important tasks at hand to welcome Xia Yu''s arrival. Back in his hometown, Xia Yu declined Sun Yucai''s celebration lunch, and the motorcade went directly to Xia Village, Nanshi Town. In the past few years, the first and second leaders in Longfeng County and Nanshi Town have also changed new people. Xia Yu just met briefly and didn¡¯t care. The weight of the two in Xia Yu¡¯s heart is far less than that of Xia Anshan, the village secretary of Xia Village. . Knowing that Xia Yu, the tribe who made everyone live a good life, was about to return, the entire Xia Village was a sensation. All men, women and children all crowded into the village to welcome Xia Yu''s arrival. When Xia Yu''s motorcade had not yet arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw the crowds in the village. "A Yu, are they all from your clan? It looks like they are here to welcome you, your popularity is too high!" He Chaoqiong looked at countless smiling faces in the distance through the car window. She blinked and asked curiously. "Chaoqiong, the villagers in Xia Village are very simple, and I didn''t help them. They want to express their gratitude to me in this way." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. ... After a brief chat, the convoy finally stopped at the entrance of the village, and Xia Yu and others got out of the car. When five beauties with different styles and Xia Yu stood with Xia Yu, the scene suddenly became quiet, and a few seconds later the crowd began to whisper. For the people in Xia Village, they had never seen a foreigner in their entire lives, but now they saw a few at once, which really opened their eyes. Regarding their performance, Xia Yu smiled, his eyes fixed on the front few people. "Uncle, uncle, I''m back again!" "Okay you are back, this will always be your home, you are welcome to come back!" Xia Anshan''s face was very ruddy because of excitement, and his voice was a little trembling. Xia Yu clearly discovered that Xia Anshan, who was already 70 years old, was not as tough as before, and his voice was much smaller, his body was slightly rickety, and his face had a lot more wrinkles. Although Xia Xinhua next to him is now one of Xia Cun''s leaders in getting rich, his honest nature has not changed. After Xia Yu said hello to him, he just kept grinning and said "just come back." As for the sons of Xia Anshan, including the youngest Xia Yongquan who had the closest relationship with Xia Yu, they didn''t dare to get in. They only dared to wink or wave to Xia Yu behind Xia Anshan to indicate that they were here. "Uncle, this is Secretary Sun Yucai of Qianzhou City." "Secretary Sun, this is my uncle, the old party secretary of Xia Village." Xia Yu introduced each other with a smile. Sun Yucai didn''t have any pretensions, bent slightly to shake hands with Xia Anshan, and said very kindly: "Old secretary, I have to learn from you. At such an old age, I still work hard to make the people happy." "Secretary Sun, you praise me too much. I don''t have much culture. If you don''t dislike me, I will do little things for you." Xia Anshan was full of red light and said cheerfully. ... Later, Xia Yu briefly introduced He Chaoqiong, Elena and others. Considering that there are still many children here, Xia Yu didn''t want to bring bad children, but simply said that he was his friend and brought them to the mainland. By the way, take a look at my hometown. No one dared to ask whether it was true or not, and could only choose to believe Xia Yu''s words. This luncheon was still held in the ancestral hall, and it was set up on the big flat outside the ancestral hall. There were more than 60 tables. Every household sent representatives to come over. It can be said that the village was celebrating. He Chaoqiong and Li Qian have seen similar scenes in Xiangjiang, but Elena, Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko have never seen them. While feeling very novel, they are also infected by this lively and festive atmosphere. , Each showed a beautiful smile. After lunch, Xia Yu, after chatting with Xia Anshan and others for a while, took Elena and others to his home in Xia Village. It was a newly built, very beautiful and spacious yard, ranked first in the entire Xia Village in terms of size and luxury. Apart from Sun Yucai, the only ones who accompanied Xia Yu to his house were Xia Anshan and Xia Xinhua. Xia Yu originally thought that he hadn''t come back to live in a year or two, and the house would look messy. After entering the yard, he found that the whole yard was kept in order and the scene of overgrown weeds did not appear. It did not seem to be a surprise. To clean up, everything seemed very natural. At this time, Xia Anshan smiled and explained: "A Yu, your house has been taken care of for you in the village, especially the Xinhua family. His wife will come to clean your house and clean up the courtyard every day, hoping that you will come back suddenly. When you can live in directly." Xia Yu couldn''t help looking at Xia Xinhua, but saw him scratching his head, looking embarrassed. Xia Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, you are interested, thank you!" Xia Xinhua said hurriedly: "Thank you, your kindness to my family is so great, I just asked my mother-in-law to do something ordinary." Sun Yucai on the side suddenly smiled and said: "A small thing that is common, day after day, that is also a big thing. The most commendable thing is the original intention behind this reduction." "Mr. Xia, the feelings of the people of Xia Village towards you are truly enviable!" Xia Yu showed a knowing smile, nodded and said: "Yes!" "A Yu, we are all a family!" Xia Anshan said cheerfully. "Yes, it''s a family!" Xia Yu smiled and shouted. While talking and laughing, Xia Yu led everyone to check out his house. This house is a Hakka antique-style house built by Kyushu Infrastructure Co., Ltd. The courtyard faces south and is enclosed on three sides. The two-story house has 18 rooms in total. Except for some storage rooms, the master bedroom is added. There are twelve rooms. It is definitely enough to live with five girls, Xia Yu, and many bodyguards! The facilities in each room are very complete. Although it is certainly not comparable to the mansions where Elena, Sandy and others live, it is definitely not a problem to live. This kind of living environment is actually in the whole mainland. They are all considered the best. Moreover, the decoration and layout of the rooms have their own characteristics, such as all kinds of exquisite window sill carvings, winding dragon pillars and the like, which are unseen in foreign countries and have a lot of appeal to women. Three women in a play, five women get together, of course there are many topics, Xia Yu also tossed with them in the house, he was in the small pavilion in the courtyard, with Sun Yucai, Xia Anshan, Xia Xinhua and others Drink tea. "A Yu, how long are you going to stay here this time?" While drinking tea, Xia Anshan looked at Xia Yu very much and asked. Sun Yucai also put down his teacup and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu smiled indifferently and said: "Uncle, I came to the mainland this time mainly to take my friends to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. I also stopped by to appreciate it, so I stayed here for two days. Just go." When Xia Anshan and Sun Yucai listened, their expressions were a little sad. Xia Anshan immediately smiled again, and said cheerfully: "It''s okay to visit all over the country." Sun Yucai was a little unwilling. He explored: "Mr. Xia, there are also many places worth visiting in Qianzhou. I wonder if your travel plan is involved? Do I need to recommend some fun places to you?" Xia Yu chuckled and said, "Secretary Sun, I am going to visit Jinggangshan at the first stop, and then to Qianzhou University, before I leave Qianzhou." "I know there are still many interesting places in Qianzhou City, but there are too many humanities and historical sites in China, and there are too many famous rivers and rivers. Our planning time is limited, so we have to make some trade-offs." Hearing Xia Yu''s refusal, Sun Yucai sighed in his heart, but he could only agree with a smile and said, "It is true. Compared with the motherland, Qianzhou City is indeed much inferior." Xia Yu knew about Sun Yucai''s thoughts and he did not let Sun Yucai down. After all, Qianzhou was his hometown in his past and present life. He has this ability and naturally will not remain indifferent. Just like donating money to school and building roads and bridges before, it can benefit the people of Qianzhou City. Of course he is willing to do it. Compared with a few years ago, his current strength has skyrocketed, and he has a lot more resources to adjust. Just picking out some can benefit Qianzhou City. What''s more, he also knows that Qianzhou City does have treasures. Instead of letting it go on a detour like the previous life, it is better for him to introduce the right track at the very beginning, benefit the country and the people as well as others. Why not do it? Thinking of this, he drank a sip of tea, smiled and said to Sun Yucai: "Secretary Sun, Qianzhou City is my hometown after all. You are my hometown parent official. You must have a lot of ideas about the development direction of Qianzhou City. I have contributed, and if I can, I will definitely support it!" As soon as he said this, Sun Yucai was overjoyed, with a bright smile on his face... PS: A courtyard map is attached v3 Chapter 1229: Hold the pricing power of rare earths! The latest website: "Mr. Xia, on behalf of the six million old folks in Qianzhou City, I would like to thank you!" Xia Yu faintly smiled and waved his hand and said, "Secretary Sun, he is all his own, so don''t tell me so." "What Mr. Xia said is that they are all his own. My hometown is also in Qianzhou City. I grew up in Jinggangshan when I was a child." Sun Yucai laughed, feeling very good. Although it was the first time I saw him, Xia Yu''s easy-going attitude made him feel confident. "Secretary Sun, as the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. No matter how much money you can spend, I even hope that Qianzhou City can have its own blood-making machine, and continue to be piety. The development of the city provides endogenous power." Xia Yu took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and said solemnly. Sun Yucai nodded with approval and said, "Mr. Xia, you are in my heart." "First of all, I want to declare that I don''t want to blow the autumn wind against you. This kind of thing won''t last for a long time, and your money is not brought by the wind. I understand this very well." "I have been in Qianzhou City for more than a year. When I first came, I spent half a year traveling all the districts, counties and townships in Qianzhou City. What I saw and heard made me very heartbroken and guilty. The people in the old district are new The establishment of Huaxia has made a huge contribution, but... hey..." At the end, Sun Yucai let out a long sigh, few people understand the complex emotions in it. He grew up in Qianzhou City except when he was a child, and because he was too young, he did not follow his father to join the Red Army. After liberation, his father returned home and took the whole family to the capital. The life in the capital is of course different from that of the grassroots in Qianzhou. There is a fundamental difference. Although he is not a good food, his living standard is much better than ordinary people. As an official, how can he not be anxious when seeing the low living standard of the people in Qianzhou? He dreamed that he wanted the people in the old district to live a good life, even if the counties in other districts of Qianzhou City could reach the level of Longfeng County, it would be very good. Xia Yu and Xia Anshan were moved by Sun Yucai''s true feelings. Xia Yu was very accurate in seeing people. Before communicating with Sun Yucai, Xia Yu could also see that this fifty-year-old airborne leader is not bad in nature and is a bit bookish. This is a believer who wants to do something. The big thing. For such a person, Xia Yu is of course willing to support him, and he is more assured to help him. "Secretary Sun, I don''t know what industries are more prominent in Qianzhou City? Or more suitable for development?" Xia Yu looked at Sun Yucai and asked the key question. He has money, and the key depends on where the money goes. Where is it worth spending. Sun Yucai had already sorted it out clearly, his face straightened, and he slowly said: "Qianzhou City is a hilly area, with many mountains and many development limitations. For now, there are very few characteristic industries in the entire Qianzhou City. ." "The biggest pillar is mining, the most is non-ferrous metals, and the second is rare earths. Except for domestic consumption, most of them are used for export exchange." "As for industry, agriculture, forestry and fishery, although there are, they are not strong. They are all for the entire Qianzhou City." "The only thing you want to say about agriculture that is strong and distinctive is the navel orange industry led by your Kyushu Fruit Company, Mr. Xia. I have also visited many times." In just a few words, Sun Yucai summarized the situation in Qianzhou clearly, and one can imagine how thin the family background in Qianzhou is. Of course, Xia Yu from later generations also knows that this is indeed the case in Qianzhou City. Even in the 21st century, development is very slow. In addition to historical and cultural accidents, Qianzhou¡¯s greatest wealth is actually these rich minerals. You know, Qianzhou City will be one of the key non-ferrous metal bases in the country in the future, with the reputation of "World Tungsten Capital" and "Rare Earth Kingdom"! According to statistics from later generations, Qianzhou City has two-thirds of the minerals discovered in the entire Jiangxi Province, and the minerals are very rich. "Secretary Sun, in which direction do you want to develop Qianzhou City?" Sun Yucai pondered for a long time and said again: "I have thought about this many times, and I plan to develop based on the current foundation of Qianzhou City." "There are minerals in all districts and counties of Qianzhou City. Obviously, they are abundant but not strong. The situation is rather chaotic. However, they are rich in minerals and have the foundation for industrial development. I plan to develop heavy industry and manufacturing. "In terms of agriculture, I also want to further promote the navel orange industry, with Longfeng County as the center, and spread to other regions and counties..." After Xia Yu listened quietly to Sun Yucai''s narration, he looked up and saw the look of expectation in Sun Yucai''s eyes. Obviously, I hope that Xia Yu can support him in these aspects. Xia Yu pondered for a long time, prepared a draft in his heart, and suddenly smiled: "Secretary Sun, I agree with your direction." "In terms of the navel orange industry, this year the navel oranges in Longfeng County will be able to test fruit. By next year, the output will increase sharply. Sales here are not a problem. Even if the output is enlarged several times, I will be able to help sell them." "The key is to see the policy support of the government and banks to farmers and encourage farmers to make up their minds to plant." "On my side, we can also support the navel orange industry in southern Jiangxi in another way. For example, Jiuzhou Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. provides fruit seedlings and technical guidance. At the same time, it signs a five-year or ten-year minimum purchase agreement with farmers. Farmers will not lose money, and they can plant with confidence and boldness." "In agriculture, there is a navel orange industry, which should be able to be used as a pillar. Once it becomes a navel orange production base in the country and the world, the agricultural industry in Qianzhou City will not be a problem." With Xia Yu¡¯s promise, Sun Yucai smiled happily and hurriedly thanked him: ¡°Mr. Xia, farmers are not afraid of large-scale planting and breeding. What is most afraid is that agricultural products cannot be sold. You also know the current domestic supply and marketing system. It is really difficult to digest, but with your commitment, the navel orange industry in Qianzhou City definitely has a bright future. Thank you!" "Should!" Xia Yu chuckled and waved his hand, and then continued: "As for the industry and mining industry, Secretary Sun, you are right to say that Qianzhou City is rich in mineral resources, and there are large deposits of non-ferrous metal and rare earth minerals." "However, as far as I know, the market is very chaotic now. The ownership of mines in various districts and counties underground in Qianzhou City is very chaotic. Local governments, local state-owned enterprises and central enterprises are intertwined. Everyone is facing the task of earning foreign exchange. Fighting, kept the price very low, and made it cheap to outsiders." "Especially rare earths have a very large effect. They are used in various high-tech science and technology, such as planes, rockets, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, semiconductors and other top technology products. Now the mainland exports rare earths for a little foreign exchange. The prices are all cabbage, and those foreign companies laugh at the mainland as a fool." "Of course, there are also other factors. For example, there is no rare earth separation and purification technology in Qianzhou City. They are only rough processing, so the price can not be sold. For example, the island countries and the United States bought the same rare earth ore. After purification, It can be sold at a hundred times higher price. This is the value of technology." "In my opinion, the heavy industry in Qianzhou City can develop around non-ferrous metals and rare earths to create an entire industrial chain." "But before that, there is one more problem that must be solved first!" "what is the problem?" Sun Yucai blurted out and asked looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Just now, Xia Yu''s word Zhuji has been mentioned in his heart, especially the rare earth after purification, which can be sold at a hundred times higher price, which has caused an unparalleled impact on his soul. He deeply realized that Qianzhou City was sitting on the Golden Mountain and selling gold as a stone! He urgently wanted to know what Xia Yu could do to build the heavy industry in Qianzhou City! Xia Yu squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Sun Yucai, and said every word: "Rectify the rare earth market in Qianzhou City, solve the chaos of internal competition, and hold the rare earth export rights and pricing power in your hands!" PS: The protagonist''s industry in the mainland is indeed too small. New China has also made many detours and suffered a lot of grievances. The protagonist has to do something. Another: The navel orange in Xia Yu''s hometown is ripe. Search for a package: "The Gannan navel orange in Xia Yu''s hometown". Welcome to pay attention to the shop. v3 Chapter 1230: Layout of rare earth and furniture important town Latest website: Sun Yucai''s face changed, his brows furrowed, his face solemn and silent. Seeing him like this, Xia Yu smiled faintly and drank tea. As for Xia Anshan, he didn''t quite understand the content of Xia Yu''s chat with Sun Yucai, but he knew that the content was actually classified as confidential, so he left after drinking the tea. Xia Yu and Sun Yucai were left in the pavilion. For a long time, Sun Yucai''s eyes flashed a touch of determination, he looked up at Xia Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xia, I can understand your considerations. This is indeed the wisest approach, but the operation here is very difficult. , I can only say to do my best!" Saying that, Sun Yucai had no bottom in his heart. There are mines and companies owned by various districts and counties in Qianzhou City. As the leader of Qianzhou City, it is still possible for him to force integration. But in addition to the localities, central enterprises have also established a foothold here. These central enterprises belong to the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. He used to work in the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. Although he was not in the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, he also knew the situation of the major ministries. He now There was no one above, and the weight of words was light, so he had no bottom in his heart. This is only the first problem. The second problem is the pricing power of rare earths. Even if all the rare earth mining is really integrated, how can we ensure that rare earths can be sold at high prices? Before finding a way out of Qianzhou City, he had also learned about it. He knew the hegemony of Western countries and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry tried to sell prices higher. However, Western countries used other conditions to bind them on the surface, which was actually a threatening way to force The mainland bowed its head. In this era, although Europe and the United States have opened up most of the export areas of technology products to the mainland in order to win over the mainland, the consciousness brought about by the technological blockade in the past few decades cannot be eliminated in a moment. Xia Yu saw the lack of confidence behind Sun Yucai''s determined attitude. He chuckled and said, "Secretary Sun, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, maybe I can help." Sun Yucai''s eyes lit up, thinking of Xia Yu''s ability to reach the sky and formidable strength, he expressed his concerns: "Mr. Xia, in fact, I do..." Xia Yu kept smiling the whole time, listening to Sun Yucai''s story. Facing Sun Yucai¡¯s expectant gaze, Xia Yu did not let him down, saying: ¡°Secretary Sun, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry is indeed a hurdle that cannot be avoided, but if you don¡¯t touch the non-ferrous metals in Qianzhou City, it¡¯s simply to integrate these few. There is still room for operation of rare earth mines that only started exporting in 2010." "As for controlling pricing power, it is indeed a problem for the mainland. After all, the mainland has too many places to rely on Europe and the United States, and it has too many weaknesses and it is difficult to be tough." "One more thing, the export price of rare earth mines that are simply excavated and purified simply is too low. Even if the price is raised, it will not be improved. The mainland will also develop heavy industry and military industry that involve the lifeline of the country. Rare earths that have been refined by European and American countries have appreciated dozens of hundreds of times, which is not worth it." "The mainland''s strengths are obvious, that is, it has rich rare earth deposits, but its shortcomings are also obvious. It does not have the supporting technology and pricing power for the rare earth industry, nor does it have sufficient funds to develop and build the entire rare earth industry chain. "Why not, I can make a suggestion from the above. The entire rare earth mines in Qianzhou City will be integrated and a joint venture company will be established. The mainland will produce resources. I will be responsible for sales and obtaining pricing power. At the same time, I will invest funds to build the industrial chain and strive for What do you think of building a complete industrial chain of rare earths for Qianzhou City and the mainland?" Sun Yucai frowned and looked at Xia Yu scorchingly. Xia Yu smiled slightly and looked at Sun Yucai calmly. "Mr. Xia, it''s more difficult..." A few seconds later, Sun Yucai said with a wry smile. "The difficulty is definitely there, but for the mainland, if it can be realized, the benefits are actually far more than it is now, isn''t it?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Sun Yucai was silent. He is not a fool, and of course he can distinguish the benefits. Apart from other things, even if you want to give Xia Yu a 49% stake, as long as you double the price and sell it, you will not lose money to the mainland. Moreover, Xia Yu''s ambition is far more than doubling the selling price. at this point. Not to mention the country, but for Qianzhou, if an industrial chain around the rare earth industry is really built, it will benefit the entire people of Qianzhou. At the very least, it can solve the employment problem of part of the population! Sun Yucai felt a headache when he thought of the huge idle crowd in the society and the chaotic social security problems that it brought. And not only that, if a complete rare earth industry chain can be created, even if it is just a few foundations and a prototype, it will be able to create huge achievements for him! No matter what you think, Xia Yu''s proposal is very beneficial to him! But the point is that he, a proponent of reform, knows that this is not something he can decide. He sighed inwardly, and then said sincerely to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, your proposal is beyond my authority. I have to report to the top and let the top decide." Xia Yu was not surprised, he knew this matter must be discussed at the top and nodded before he proposed it. He happily replied: "This is right. You can report to Secretary Sun, and we will talk about it when the time comes." "In fact, apart from the rare earth and navel orange industries, I also have two immature ideas. I wonder if you are not interested?" With a sense of expectation in Sun Yucai''s heart, he smiled and nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Xia, please speak!" Xia Yu said slowly: "I think Qianzhou City has the foundation to develop two other industries, one is the furniture industry and the other is the pharmaceutical industry." As soon as he finished speaking his name, Sun Yucai''s face showed a smile, and the expectation in his heart grew stronger. Of these two industries, the former is a labor-intensive industry, which has a great impact on employment, while the pharmaceutical industry is a high-tech industry that has a great impact on taxation and is an industry that benefits the country and the people. Qianzhou City actually has the potential to develop these two industries? Xia Yu continued to say: "First of all, the furniture industry, in fact, Qianzhou City itself has a good foundation." "To make furniture, the most important thing is enough carpenters and craftsmen. Although the personnel can be trained, skilled carpenters cannot be trained in a short while, and Qianzhou City does not need to train, it has the number itself. Huge woodworking." "Mr. Xia refers to Nankang County?" Sun Yucai asked suddenly. Xia Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, it is Nankang County, which has a profound and unique carpenter culture and has been the''Hometown of Carpenters'' since ancient times." "Secretary Sun seems to know better." Sun Yucai smiled and said: "I have done research in various districts and counties before. Nankang County is not far from the city. I have visited a lot and have a certain understanding." "Nankang has a history of more than 1,700 years since its appearance." "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xia, you also know Nankang County, which is admirable!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "I heard it a little bit." This is just a modest statement. In fact, as a native of Qianzhou City in his previous life, Xia Yu, how can he not know Nankang''s reputation? This is an important town for solid wood furniture production with an annual output value of more than 180 billion! During the Three Kingdoms period, Nankang''s earliest name was Nan''an County, and it was named Nankang County in the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty (280 AD). Of course, if we trace the roots of Nankang''s woodworking culture, it can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty. According to legend, the one hundred thousand mountains in southern Jiangxi are mostly virgin forests, some of which are good wood. Hundreds of thousands of people came to southern Jiangxi to chop wood. Many of these primitive "catal people" stayed, lived and multiplied in southern Jiangxi, and became the ancestors of the Nankang people. In the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Jiangxi scholar Deng Deming''s "The Story of Nankang" described the dense mountains and dense forests of Nankang County, with numerous trees, and many references to the "wood guest" in southern Jiangxi. The mountain culture and carpenter culture have obvious characteristics. . In the Song Dynasty, a generation of writer Su Dongpo was demoted to Lingnan, along the north-south official road, passing through southern Jiangxi, he heard the story of "Mu Ke", and wrote the good line of "Who makes the moon to the empty mountain, the wood guest in the mountain interprets poems". In the Yuan Dynasty, Gannan was the shipbuilding center of the country, and most of the carpenters in the shipyard were from Nankang. Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of carpenters in Nankang also participated in the construction of the Ming Palace, as well as the construction of Chongyi County under the commission of Wang Yangming. The craftsmanship inherited over thousands of years has now blossomed everywhere. Nankang carpenters are everywhere, and most of them are old carpenters with exquisite craftsmanship, and there is a complete inheritance system, so Nankang County has the foundation to develop the furniture industry. It can be said that only a few companies need to integrate these resources to solve the problem of furniture sales, and a furniture production industrial chain can be created! "Secretary Sun, Qianzhou City can fully plan Nankang County and focus on supporting the furniture production industry. If you don¡¯t know how to go, I can let people invest in Nankang County to create a leading enterprise and solve it first. Part of the employment issue, then the government will look at how to make the cake bigger." "In the beginning, you can follow the template of my company, and then you can show your own abilities and see their own abilities." "Mr. Xia, your idea is great!" "Thank you also for your willingness to benefit the people of Nankang County!" Sun Yucai seemed to be too excited, so he stood up and bowed to Xia Yu. Xia Yu had to get up and asked Sun Yucai to sit down again. "Secretary Sun, I will explain the investment matters to my staff. Then the Qianzhou City Government will be able to connect with that side, provided that you have to make a good plan first." "Of course, I personally suggest that the two sides can communicate well to avoid detours and wrong paths." Xia Yu said with a smile. "It should be. By then, your company will be the leader in the furniture industry in Nankang County. You must respect your opinions." Sun Yucai nodded. "Mr. Xia, what about the other pharmaceutical industry you mentioned?" An idea in the furniture industry, no, it cannot be said to be an idea. In Sun Yucai''s view, this is a completely straightforward path, and a bright future can already be foreseen. So what would the other idea Xia Yu said? Sun Yucai, who had a lot of white hair in order to find the road in Qianzhou City, was in agitated mood at this time, looking at Xia Yu with a look of expectation. v3 Chapter 1231: Pharmaceutical! ! Latest website: "Secretary Sun, what do you think is included in the pharmaceutical industry?" Faced with the question of Xia Yu, Sun Yucai narrowed his eyebrows and pondered for a long time, and then replied with some uncertainty: "Mr. Xia, do you mean my country''s unique Chinese patent medicine, and the previous chemical medicine that artificially synthesized bovine insulin? " Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, these two are included. In my opinion, there is another one, that is, biopharmaceuticals that have not yet emerged in the mainland." "There is no need to say much about Chinese patent medicines. Since ancient times, many prescriptions have been handed down. They are all excellent Chinese patent medicine formulas. This is a treasure left to us by our ancestors." "Prescriptions are in the hands of ordinary people and have little effect, but if companies can standardize R&D and production on a large scale, it will benefit everyone, and the development of pharmaceutical Chinese medicines on a large scale will stimulate the demand for Chinese medicinal materials. The development of the industrial chain of Chinese medicine planting and sales in Qianzhou City." "Qianzhou City has sufficient light and heat, abundant rainfall, long growing seasons, distinct four seasons, lush vegetation, and a good ecological environment. There are many wild Chinese medicinal materials and widely distributed. In addition, the large forest area and high forest coverage are suitable for forest development. Given the resource endowment of Chinese medicinal materials, Qianzhou City has a good foundation to build a''natural medicine library''." "If the government introduces a policy to create a large-scale Chinese medicinal material trading market that will radiate the entire southeast of the mainland, then there will be a large variety and large number of Chinese medicinal materials in Qianzhou City, which can also promote the development of the Chinese patent medicine manufacturing industry and form a benign cycle¡­¡­" It can be said that Xia Yu completely combined the development experience of later generations and put an effective development path before Sun Yucai. In this era, apart from the SAR, the development concepts of local governments have not yet changed, and few places have their own characteristic industries. Even if Xia Yu¡¯s support is not needed, Sun Yucai listened carefully to the clear path he pointed out now and unswervingly went down. He ran many years ahead of other cities, even though the successor behind Qianzhou City was poor. The development of Qianzhou City is not far behind! "Mr. Xia, you are a golden idea. Tell me rationally, this is quite promising! Thank you so much, thank you!" Sun Yucai looked excited and thanked Xia Yu again and again. With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said calmly: "Secretary Sun, don''t worry, the pharmaceutical industry is more than that, I just talked about the pharmaceutical aspect of Chinese medicine." "In terms of chemical pharmacy, you can rely on the power of Qianzhou University and several other schools in the city. Of course, the most important is Qianzhou University. Qianzhou University now has ten top universities in China for point support. In terms of talents There is definitely room for operation. How to do it depends on how the city government and the school cooperate." "In terms of biopharmaceuticals, it seems that only a few large cities in the mainland have just started, so there are still many opportunities, and the future market is also the largest. Secretary Sun, you have never been to the United States, the top pharmaceutical giants in Europe and America, many The strongest company in the biopharmaceutical field has a market value of tens of billions of dollars!" Tens of billions of dollars! Hearing this number, Sun Yucai was shocked. The value of a company alone far exceeds the amount of USD and foreign exchange held in mainland China! This is too scary! However, he didn''t feel much shocked, and his attention was immediately attracted by what Xia Yu said. "I will ask people to set up a pharmaceutical company here, and invest money to engage in technology research and development and production in the fields of Chinese herbal medicine cultivation, Chinese medicine pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and chemical pharmaceuticals." "I can start the head, but to what extent it can be developed and how big the cake can be, this requires you to think carefully, and the strength and resources of the entire city can be developed at a high speed..." "Mr. Xia, your willingness to do so much is already a huge surprise to me, thank you so much!" This time, Sun Yu was completely unable to sit still, and his excitement was beyond words, stood up and held Xia Yu''s hand tightly to thank him. "Secretary Sun, Qianzhou is my hometown, and I also hope that Qianzhou can develop and lead the people in the old district to live a good life!" Xia Yu said sincerely with a smile on his face. "Thank you! Mr. Xia, thank you..." Sun Yucai was moved, and could only express his true feelings at the moment by thanking him one after another. Although Xia Yu was only a verbal promise, he had learned about Xia Yu''s situation and knew that Xia Yu had always done what he said. He would definitely do it if he said so, and most of the problems that had troubled him for a long time were solved at once. At this moment, he only felt that the road ahead was bright! It can be said that Xia Yu''s kindness to him is great, great... ... Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and when they saw Li Qian, Elena and others coming out of the house, Sun Yucai also knew that he had been disturbing him for long enough, so he said goodbye, left Xia Yu''s house, and worked by himself in Xia Village. Wandered around. He also intends to be prepared at this time to think about how the Qianzhou City Government should cooperate with Xia Yu''s instructions to him. "Cici, Sandy, have your rooms been selected?" After coming out of the pavilion, Xia Yu walked to the girls wandering in the courtyard corridor and asked with a smile. "I have already picked it!" "Xia Yu, the rooms here are very distinctive. I have never seen it in the United States. Are patterns like this all artificially carved? Is it wood?" Cindy Mellon looked excited, pointed to the exquisite woodcarving pattern carved on the window, blinked his smart sapphire eyes, and asked Xia Yu. "Yes, this kind of carving craftsmanship has been handed down for thousands of years on the mainland." "Like this window, you can see that the patterns on it are completely connected, and the top and bottom, left and right are symmetrical. A skilled carpenter wants to carve this exquisite window from the beginning to the It takes at least five days to end!" Xia Yu touched the pattern on the wooden window lightly, showing satisfaction, and introduced to Sandi and others. After Cindy, Elena and others observed closely, they were amazed by the exquisite details and each expressed their own praise. Seeing that everyone was interested, Xia Yu took them around in the yard, using his rich knowledge to introduce them to his yard. He hadn''t noticed it himself, and his eloquent and quotational commentary made Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko frequently look at them. Presumably after today, he will have another vivid image in the hearts of Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko. For dinner, Xia Yu declined the warm invitation of the villagers in Xia Village and prepared to do it himself. Naturally, there is no shortage of raw materials. Every family took the initiative to take the vegetables grown in their own fields, and the chickens and ducks that they raised, to Xia Yu. Xia Yu couldn¡¯t refuse in every possible way. A lot of movement caused Elena, Sandy and others to cover their mouths and laugh. But this kind of scene, the simple faces of the villagers, and the sincere emotions of Xia Yu and the villagers also touched them. After having the raw materials, Xia Yu puts on the apron and cooks himself. Li Qian and Sumitomo Kumiko can cook, so they help Xia Yu. Elena and Sandy couldn''t help cooking, but they didn''t look at them either. Instead, they went to wash vegetables and dishes. The clumsy but serious appearance made Xia Yu laugh. Fortunately, Xia Yu is an old driver, and with him, a simple dinner is finally made. Perhaps it was because everyone participated, or because the ingredients were authentic and Xia Yu''s craftsmanship was good. This unpretentious dinner for everyone seemed very delicious and received unanimous praise from the women. After dinner, everyone came to the courtyard to enjoy the cool. Listening to the insects at night and looking at the deep starry sky, Xia Yu only felt an unprecedented tranquility in his heart, and all the ambitions and worries in his heart disappeared. Everyone did not speak, they were feeling the tranquility of the night quietly, as if their souls had been washed. For a long time, Xia Yu, who was sitting in the middle, looked around and whispered, "In fact, this is the night life scene of most people in mainland China." "They don''t have a TV, and even many places are not connected to electricity. If they don''t go out at night, they will relax in the yard at home and relieve the fatigue of a busy day." "Do you feel disappointed?" He Chaoqiong shook his head slightly and said, "No, it just feels very special." "Yes, it''s a very special feeling. I feel the breath of nature, leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, my soul has reached unprecedented tranquility." Sandi''s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she murmured while looking at the deep starry sky. "..." Several other women also expressed their opinions separately. In general, except for the girl who grew up in the orphanage, Li Qian, they all found this kind of life very novel. Xia Yu''s thoughts also unknowingly returned to his previous life, where he grew up in this environment when he was a child. He also missed this kind of life, but he would never miss it. This kind of life is not what all mainland people want, but they have no choice. Everyone is tired of this kind of life, and the village is pretty good. Because of Xia Yu, the road has been repaired and the electricity is connected. Unlike many rural villages in mainland China, the electricity is still not available at this time. You have to go out. Over the mountains and ridges, the life is still very difficult If you can live a better life, who would be willing to live such a life? Thinking of the future of the mainland and comparing it to the current status of the mainland, Xia Yu had many thoughts. He couldn''t help but reflect on everything he did to the mainland. Under his influence, the mainland has made a lot of progress compared to the previous life, and the detours have taken less, but when you zoom in, it just made the big ship slightly adjust its direction. The speed of the big ship has not increased very much, and it is still far away from the destination... "For the thousands of ordinary people in the mainland, I have to do more." "After all, my previous life is also one of them..." PS: This Saturday at 8 o''clock in the evening, which is 8 o''clock in the evening on the 12th, the group started the second phase of this year''s lucky draw and reward activity. Everyone is welcome to participate. The sweetness of navel oranges is very high, and you should not be disappointed. v3 Chapter 1232: Shanghais car base "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! That night, Xia Yu slept in a room alone. He lay in bed for a long time and couldn''t sleep. His mind was filled with the feelings of past and present and thinking about the future. However, he didn''t tell other people about these thoughts, but secretly kept them in his heart, and will gradually put them into action in the future. In the morning of the next day, Xia Yu took Elena and others to enjoy the special delicacy of Hakka people in Longfeng County-hot skin. Use a densely covered dustpan with a thin layer of rice syrup, put it in a wood fire stove and steam it in water, take it out and wrap some pickled sauerkraut for breakfast. Although it is very simple, it cannot be compared with the delicacy of the mountain and the sea. This unique taste made Elena, Sandy and others appetite. After breakfast, Xia Yu took Li Qian, Elena and others to stroll around Xia Village. Xia Village is quite different from the international metropolis, but it is precisely because this is the ancestral land of Xia Yu, this layer of aura is enough for the girls to calm down to understand and explore, to feel the beauty and peace of Xia Village. Of course, the day is still a bit long. In order to increase the fun and to experience the fun of past lives, Xia Yu took the girls to fish for crabs and crayfish during the day. This kind of childlike game, they are the first in their lives. After an experience, everyone had a great time playing, and there were bursts of laughter and laughter in the fields of Xia Village. After staying in Xia Village for a day, in the eyes of the villagers in Xia Village, the convoy set off again. First, they went to the downtown area of ??Qianzhou City and took the girls to visit the Qianzhou University that he donated. After leaving a check of 50 million yuan for the construction of the university, he left Qianzhou in the grateful eyes of the president of Qianzhou University and Sun Yucai. Longhushan, a Taoist sacred place where "dancheng becomes a dragon and a tiger appears". Sanqing Mountain has the reputation of "the first fairy peak in the world and the unparalleled blessed land in the world". Tengwang Pavilion, one of the "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River", became famous for the poems of the poet Wang Bo in the early Tang Dynasty. Su Shi left the famous saying of "Looking at the side as a ridge and a peak, with different distances and lows" Lushan. Standing on the top of the Snake Mountain, it is close to the Yangtze River for thousands of miles. Since ancient times, the Yellow Crane Tower has been known as "the first floor of the world" and "the world''s superb view. Another sacred place of Taoism is Wudang Mountain, which was jointly developed and repaired by Xia Yu and the local area. ... Each of the distinctive scenic spots completely opened the eyes of the five women who had never been to the mainland. Waves of visual and spiritual double impact gave them the most intuitive feeling of the long-standing cultural heritage of the mainland. Especially after they came to the capital, the Great Wall lying on the lofty mountains and the Forbidden City, which condensed the essence of ancient times, made them yearn for the ancient Chinese culture. Although along the way, the cities and villages on the mainland are very shabby and crude, far less than the developed countries abroad, but China has a fascinating cultural charm. This is something unique to an ancient country with thousands of years of culture. It is unmatched by Britain and the island countries. As for the United States, which has only been around for more than two hundred years? Ha ha¡­¡­ There are not many Indians left. What kind of culture can the exiled and emigrated poor people create in the past two hundred years? It is precisely because the United States lacks the most ancient culture that Sandy has become the most fascinated by the mainland among the five. Whenever she goes to a place, Sandi likes to haunt Xia Yu, let him tell the history and cultural connotation of the landscape, and become a little fan. And unconsciously, Xia Yu''s erudite and talented image was also established in the hearts of the women... Because of the inconvenience, even if Xia Yu arrived in the capital and received many invitations, he did not agree to all of them. He only attended a meeting. After he understood the situation, the invitations were naturally less. After leaving the capital, Xia Yu and others went to the Hulunbuir prairie. In this season, when the pastures grow wildly and the flowers bloom, it is also the time when the grassland scenery is the best. After experiencing the life of nomads herding horses and sheep, Xia Yu and others finally returned. And this time on the return trip, there was no plan to visit the mountains and rivers, so naturally there was no need to take a slow car. Xia Yu took the train directly from the capital to Shanghai, and his motorcade was also transported to Shanghai by train. Shanghai is different from China. Although it is not the forefront of reform and opening up, Shanghai has the strongest commercial atmosphere for historical reasons. In 1843, Shanghai was opened as a port. Since then, the center of Chinese and foreign trade has gradually moved from Yangcheng to Shanghai. It has changed from a small Jiangnan town to a Shiliyangchang. Over the next hundred years of development, Shanghai has been transformed from the bones. In the past few decades, Shanghai has been suppressed, but time has not obliterated the "open" tradition in its bones. After the reform and opening up, Shanghai was revitalized, and visitors from all over the world gathered in the "Magic Capital." Even if it doesn''t get the aura of the special zone, the reputation of Shanghai alone is enough to attract foreign businessmen. In 1981, Shanghai Shanghai owned the first Shanghai-Hong Kong joint venture-Shanghai United Wool Textile Co., Ltd. Then, in October 1982, Shanghai Squibb Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the country''s first Sino-American joint venture pharmaceutical company, was established. And this year, not to mention, the establishment of Shanghai Tiangong Automobile Co., Ltd., which has attracted the attention of the whole country and has been specially written by CCTV, has also driven a large number of Hong Kong capital to Shanghai, which is a subsidiary of Shanghai. Added great vitality. As the controller of Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu has been welcomed by many senior executives in Shanghai. After receiving the dust and seeing that there was still time in the afternoon, Xia Yu planned to see how the auto joint venture was going. Not long after Xia Yu went to the island country, the cooperation between Tiangong Automobile Group and the mainland Shanghai Tuo Automobile Corporation was reached. Chen Caijun reported to Xia Yu on the phone. The joint venture company is called Shanghai Tiangong Automobile Co., Ltd. The Shanghai government holds 51% of the shares, Tiangong Automobile Group holds 49%, and the Shanghai Tow Automobile Corporation is incorporated into the new company. . After Chen Caijun''s strong request, Shanghai Tiangong Automobile Co., Ltd. adopts a rotation system for its management and operation rights. Under normal circumstances, the chairman of the company is changed every three years, and the first three years are appointed by Tiangong Automobile Group. Regarding this point, except for a few people who are dissatisfied, most people can still understand and know the benefits of appointing the chairman of Tiangong Automobile Group for the first three years. The chairman of the joint venture company is Chen Xing, one of the current vice presidents of Tiangong Automobile Group, a very capable person. The first production base of Shanghai Tiangong Automobile Co., Ltd. is located at No. 63 Luopu Road, Anting Town, Jiading County, Shanghai City. Under the leadership of Chen Xing and Zhang Hongchuan, leader of the Shanghai Shanghai car project preparation team, Xia Yu and his party arrived at their destination. This production base was built on a wasteland re-delineated by Jiading County. The land has already been leveled. When Xia Yu and others arrived, the eye was a huge construction site, crowded with people, and many construction machinery. "Chairman, in order to speed up efficiency, this construction site was contracted by Kyushu Infrastructure Construction Company. These construction machinery were transported to Shanghai by large freighters." "The current construction progress is very fast, and it is possible to complete the construction plan ahead of schedule." Chen Xing pointed to the construction site and introduced to Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, this automobile production base is so large, is it to build an automobile base with a production capacity of one million?" Elena observed for a while, and asked Xia Yu curiously. Xia Yudan smiled and shook his head: "Elena No, the production capacity is 200,000 vehicles, and four small production lines with a production capacity of 50,000, respectively produce Tiangong Automobile Group¡¯s Shenyu Generation and Glory Generation. These two sedans, as well as the X2 and X3 urban SUVs." Elena suddenly said softly: "It turned out to be 200,000 cars, I thought it was a million cars." Zhang Hongchuan, who was on the side, was still in high spirits, but when he heard Elena''s indifferent tone, his smile couldn''t help but felt very uncomfortable. Xia Yu noticed the change in his expression and explained to him with a smile in Chinese: "Leader Zhang, don¡¯t take it to heart. Elena doesn¡¯t understand the situation in the mainland. She came from the UK and has always been involved in the management of labor on behalf of the family. Silly Motors Group." "In the case of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group, as you know, the annual sales volume has exceeded two million cars, so the capacity of 200,000 cars is indeed relatively normal for her." Zhang Hongchuan was shocked, only to realize that the beautiful foreign woman Xia Yu had brought with him was so big. Rolls-Royce Motor Group is now one of the ten largest automobile groups in the world. Compared with the German Volkswagen Group, it does not give too much. He heard Chen Xing say that many of the technologies in this base are derived from the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. if¡­¡­ After an idea emerged from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Hongchuan couldn''t help but his heart beat wildly. Although the current cooperation with Tiangong Automobile Group is beyond imagination, if one more is added, it will only benefit the country and no harm! Even if it can no longer achieve such a big cooperation as Tiangong Automobile Group, it will be able to attract some investment in the automobile industry chain... PS: I''m sorry, I''m really too busy, £þ¡õ£þ£ü£ü. On Saturday (tomorrow night) at 8 o¡¯clock in the WeChat group V, there will be an official draw, 25 boxes of navel oranges + 5 boxes of blood oranges, the probability is very high, don¡¯t miss the time! v3 Chapter 1233: Return to Guangdong "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Although Zhang Hongchuan had an idea, he was not stupid enough to directly put it forward in front of Xia Yu. But Xia Yu could guess what he thought. In response, Xia Yu just smiled. Anyway, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is also his. If the mainland wants to introduce the Rolls-Royce Motor Group as a partner, he will certainly be eager, and it will only benefit him without harm. Although Shanghai was cooperating with his Tiangong Automobile Group at this time, it does not mean that China will only cooperate with Tiangong Automobile Group in the automotive field. Before that, the country had established a joint venture with Jeep. Now the whole continent, the trend of making cars has begun. The major local governments cater to the ideas of the upper class, and they really hope to make some achievements in the automotive field. As far as he knows, many local governments are already communicating with foreign automobile companies. GAC, BAIC, FAW, etc. have all found targets, but the progress is different, and some are just beginning. That is to say, the West German public is even more unlucky. After many years of talking, the duck that he got was robbed by Xia Yu. However, the general trend is doomed. There will be more joint ventures in mainland China. Although he has confidence in his Tiangong Automobile Group, the old saying goes well. If Rolls-Royce Motor Group can also participate directly, Tiangong Motor Group has an offensive and defensive alliance, and the combined market will definitely be higher than the market occupied by a single one. Looking to the future, the benefits for the Rolls-Royce Motor Group are also great! "Leader Zhang, Chen Xing, is there a design drawing for the production base here?" "Yes, Mr. Xia, and ladies, please here!" After that, Zhang Hongchuan led everyone in one direction and visited the planning and design drawings of the production base... In the afternoon, in addition to visiting the automobile production base, Xia Yu also went to the Shanghai Exhibition Hall. What impressed him most were the two slogans on the walls on both sides of the Shanghai Exhibition Hall. From his perspective, the white letters on the left on a red background read "independence and self-reliance", and the words on the right read "hard work, hard work, and building a nation." This kind of slogan made him sigh with emotion at the time, and he unconsciously emerged as the international metropolis of Shanghai in the future. Compared with the future, it is really a huge difference. Although Shanghai was once the most prosperous and open place in China, in the past few years, Pengcheng, which was once a small fishing village, has undergone earth-shaking changes and has gradually narrowed the distance from Shanghai. Now in Shanghai, Lujiazui has no iconic building, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and no global financial center. Trolleybuses and bicycles run on the road, and cars are relatively rare. However, Xia Yu''s overall situation in Shanghai is still the best when he walks down the mainland. It can only be said that the mainland as a whole is too backward at this stage... The next day, Zhang Hongchuan became a little entangled in Elena, with a very enthusiastic attitude, and there was a lot of flattery and flattery in his words, and often provoked topics around the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. The night before, Xia Yu had already chatted with Elena alone, so when answering Zhang Hongchuan¡¯s question, Elena¡¯s tone was relatively loose, which made Zhang Hongchuan very excited. However, Elena said that Shanghai Tiangong Automobile Group has already settled in Shanghai. Rolls-Royce Motor Group will not compete with close partners for resources, so it can cooperate with the mainland, but it has to change its partner. This attitude of Elena was unexpected by Zhang Hongchuan. As the leader of the Shanghai car preparation team, he naturally felt very sorry. But he belonged to the person sent from above, so after feeling a pity for going to Shanghai, he cheered up again. After returning home at noon, he made a report directly to the ministry by telephone, which made the leaders of the ministry very happy, and then the ministry held an economic meeting to study the matter. But these are things that Xia Yu didn''t know. He also stayed in Shanghai for two days before and after, and then took the women to Suzhou and Hangzhou to lead the ancient customs of Gusu Water Town. The first stop is Hangzhou West Lake. Su Dongpo said: "If you want to make West Lake better than Xizi, light makeup is always suitable." The wind lotus in the Quyuan, the willow waves smelling the orioles, the broken bridge and the lonely mountain, this is the shape of the West Lake. In the thin summer, the sand gulls in the West Lake and the sparkling waves reflect each other, the lotus flowers and the drizzle are affectionate, maybe it is Sunday, and people come and go on the broken bridge. After walking on the broken bridge, Xiandi looked at Xia Yu in confusion and asked: "Xia Yu, you said just now that this is a broken bridge, why is it that this bridge is complete now when I walk up?" This question also smelled in the hearts of He Chaoqiong, Elena and the others, and the five women all focused their attention on Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and said: "There are three monsters in Hangzhou, they are''broken bridges are continuous, long bridges are not long, and lonely mountains are not lonely''. The first one is the broken bridge." "In fact, there are many allusions about this broken bridge. The most famous one is derived from an idiom-Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge. It is said that in winter, the surface of the West Lake is frozen, and the broken bridge and the lake are full. After Baixue, from a distance, part of the broken bridge merges with the West Lake. It looks like the bridge is broken." "But in the folk, there is another story." Elena and the others were like students, listening quietly, which made Xia Yu excited, cleared his throat and continued to say: "According to legend, a long time ago, there was a couple with the surname Duan who lived by the West Lake. They were kind-hearted and depended on selling wine for a living. One day they rescued a white-haired old man, but they didn¡¯t think that the old man was a god. In order to express his gratitude, the old man gave them the elixir that they used to make sacred wine. When leaving, they accidentally stepped on the small wooden bridge on the West Lake. In order to repay the elderly and the villagers, the couple invested in the construction of the bridge. Everyone called the bridge Duanjiaqiao, and later took the word''Duan''. The homonym of "Duan", call it Broken Bridge..." "Xia Yu, what is shenxian?" After listening to Xia Yu''s account, He Chaoqiong and Li Qian understood, but Sandy, who didn''t understand Chinese culture, had another problem. Xia Yu couldn''t help but laughed and replied: "Shenxian is the so-called **** in the West, and it all means the same thing." Sandi blinked and said, "Oh, the xiandan you just mentioned is an artifact for the old man, isn''t it?" Xia Yu''s expression was a little weird, and he smiled and said, "It can also be understood that the elixir is indeed an artifact for the elderly." "There are legends of gods here. No wonder so many people come here to play." Sandi just made this determination in a whisper, and Xia Yu''s answer immediately overturned her impression of Broken Bridge. "Xindy, this is not the reason. The most famous reason for Broken Bridge is not because of the gods, but because of a romantic and poignant love story." "A romantic and poignant love story?" Women are all emotional creatures and are naturally interested in this topic. "Yes, it''s a love story between a snake and a person." Xia Yu said with a smile and nodded. "Snakes and people can love each other? Is this love across races? It''s incredible." "In fact, snakes turned into human beings..." As Xia Yu described the love story of Xu Xian and White Lady with emotion, Xiandi, Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko were moved and their eyes moistened. Even He Chaoqiong and Li Qian, who had learned about the love story between Xu Xian and the white lady from the TV series "The Legend of the White Snake" from Xiangjiang, were also deeply involved. "The monk named Fahai is too damnable!" "It''s so cruel, breaking up the happy love of others." Sandy pouted her mouth and clenched her small fist, struggling with the white lady. Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling with the cute appearance of this little girl. "But in the end, Lady Bai and Xu Xian lived happily together, so the final outcome is still beautiful, isn''t it?" Xia Yu said wittily. "Xia Yu, is that the Leifeng Pagoda?" Elena pointed to the tower in the distance and asked Xia Yu. "Yes, that is Leifeng Tower." Xia Yu replied affirmatively. Elena asked suspiciously, "Didn''t you just say that Leifeng Pagoda has fallen down?" "Is Lady White still locked down below?" Xia Yu laughed and said teasingly: "Maybe the fallen Leifeng Pagoda was rebuilt by the white lady''s force?" "Shall we go there and have a look?" "Okay, let''s go..." ... There are too many places to enjoy in Jiangnan Water Town. After playing for a week, the different scenery every day made Sandy, Elena and the others linger. On the camera film, there were pictures of laughter and joy. A week later, Xia Yu and others left Jiangnan Water Village and boarded the train to Guangdong Province. For fun, before leaving the mainland, he had to go to Guangdong Province to meet the big guy and have a good chat. There are many layouts in his mind about the mainland, and only Guangdong Province is the most suitable place to settle! After walking down the land of the motherland, Xia Yu already knew the true situation of the mainland in this era. He already had a general idea in his mind about what to do and how to do it, and he had no time to implement it. PS: It¡¯s really Kavin. It took three hours to write a chapter. At any rate, I connected the plot. In that era, which aspect should Xia Yu start with? v3 Chapter 1234: Great turning point for 9 State Industrial Group "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! More than four years have passed since the two words reform and opening up were proposed in 1978. Although the big bow seems to be still swaying and not fully oriented, in fact, a billowing undercurrent has gathered at the bottom of the boat, and there are always two invisible hands controlling the direction. The "Household Contract Responsibility System" is already in operation, and the dual price system is also proposed and implemented by the Ministry of Materials. There are now more than two million individual industrial and commercial households nationwide, and the number of employees has reached more than three million. The dominance of the public economy has opened many openings, and the power of the private economy is increasing sharply every day. Of course, the most critical thing depends on the above policy changes. What makes Xia Yu gratified is that because of the advancement of the previous work, the rural reform experiment already has a large amount of data and information. The "Notice on Rural Work" that should have appeared next year is now about to be released. , This is exactly half a year ahead of schedule! Of course, although the word "bao" is about to enter the city is very critical, but the most critical setting has not yet appeared, and the spring breeze has not completely blown, so I can''t be anxious. However, for a top boss like Xia Yu who is already registered, he is actually less bound to him than ordinary people. Even if he does something extraordinary, at best, he will use dragging words. What about him. So even if the spring breeze has not blown across the land of China, Xia Yu has already begun to plan. In his view, the current mainland is not bad for smart people. For economic development, apart from policy constraints, the biggest constraint is on the means of production! The dual-track price system proposed by the Ministry of Materials and Materials is an attempt to control the prices of raw materials and terminal commodities to hold back the "bull nose" of reform. However, there are too many smart people in the mainland. Will cause market chaos. In this era of planned economy, there are only so many means of production, private enterprises need them, and state-owned enterprises also need them. With the rigid system and thinking of state-owned enterprises at this time, there will definitely be a deep crisis due to the shortage of resources. Most private enterprises that can obtain resources are also in the background. Profound enterprises, countless small and micro enterprises and self-employed individuals can hardly obtain resources. It is undoubtedly very regrettable that the wisdom of countless working people has been limited due to the actual shortage of resources. To accelerate the development of the mainland, Xia Yu alone is useless, only countless Huaxia people work together. So after thinking about it, Xia Yu finally decided to start with the most basic means of production and increase the mainland''s heritage in multiple directions. Of course, in this process, his company will also be integrated into the economic development of the entire society and gradually become a giant in all walks of life. The market for production materials is actually the largest... So from this perspective, if Xia Yu really starts from this direction, whether it is for the mainland or for him, it will be a winner. Having said that, the means of production can be divided into two categories: industrial means of production and agricultural means of production according to different purchasers. As far as the current mainland is concerned, both industrial and agricultural production materials are lacking. Agriculture is related to people''s livelihood. The most direct thing is to eat well. Industry is related to the overall strength and future of the mainland, and both are equally important. ... Xia Yu came to Guangdong again, and the senior officials in Guangdong have already got the news. However, Xia Yu did not go to meet Liu Zhongfei the first time, but first came to his home base in the mainland-Jiuzhou Industrial Group. "Hi boss!" When Xia Yu got out of the car, Luo Yunfei and others who had been waiting for him greeted Xia Yu respectfully. This time, Xia Yu did not bring He Chaoqiong and others over because of business affairs, only his assistants and security personnel. He Chaoqiong and others rested in the Marco Polo Hotel. "Yeah! Hello!" "Go to the meeting room and talk." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he walked straight into the company. Luo Yunfei and others immediately followed Xia Yu''s pace and walked inside silently. "Close the door." Xia Yu''s resolute and vigorous posture attracted the attention of all the senior executives who came in, and Luo Yunfei was even more awe-inspiring. Xia Yu didn''t talk to them either, and directly presided over the meeting. "This time I have traveled all over the country, I have seen a lot of things, and have many ideas. Now, I will tell you my ideas. You are responsible for implementing them. For the group, it is a huge change. Point, you must listen carefully." "The group now has many subsidiaries, and each of them is developing very healthy. This is good, but it is far from enough." "In many ways, we have not yet set foot in it, and we must get started as soon as possible." "The first is agriculture." "The group needs to deploy in pesticides and pesticide equipment, chemical fertilizers, small farm tools, semi-mechanized farm tools, mechanized farm tools, feed, seedling cultivation, etc., and make every effort to advance in each field..." "As for the specific number of companies to be established, what is the name of the company, and what is the development direction and field, we will make a plan for me in these two days." "In the industrial field, a steel company, a coal company, a chemical company and a cement company were established respectively..." Following Xia Yu''s talk, everyone present was stunned by the boss''s boldness. If you really do what the boss says, then Kyushu Industrial Group will usher in a huge turning point in development. Many of these are areas that Kyushu Industrial Group has not been involved in before. According to the boss, this is directly using money to open the way and using money to smash out companies. Rao was Luo Yunfei, the president of the Kyushu Industrial Group, and was shocked by the boss''s order to rain. But after the fright, it was ecstasy. He concentrated his attention to the peak, for fear of missing the content of the boss Xia Yu. Xia Yu spoke for twenty minutes before finishing his thoughts. "Do you understand?" "If you have any questions, please mention it. I will solve it on the spot. I don''t want to learn later that you have made a low-level mistake, which will affect the group''s strategy." After speaking, Xia Yu swept across everyone''s faces with a stern look. The conference room was silent for a few seconds, and then Luo Yunfei mustered up his courage and took the lead and said: "Boss, many of these newly established companies are those we haven''t set foot in before. We don''t have enough experience. I wonder if we can make some from Xiangjiang. Management talents here?" "For example, transfer some from the Tiangong Machinery Group..." "Yes, I will determine which talent gaps are at that time You submit a list and submit it for you." Xia Yu said without hesitation. "thank you boss!" Luo Yunfei smiled and said happily. Then he asked another question: "Boss, I have another question. Are these newly established companies to be built in Guangdong Province, or should they be built in accordance with local conditions?" Xia Yu immediately replied: ¡°The headquarters are all located in Guangdong Province. As for the actual factories, Guangdong Province is the first choice. The next level is Fujian Province, followed by other provinces. If possible, Guangdong Province should be placed in Guangdong Province as much as possible. Yes, we will find a place where we can develop." "Don''t forget to make good use of branches. Newly established companies can also have branches. Be flexible." ... After Luo Yunfei took the lead, other executives also seized the opportunity to ask questions. Xia Yu all responded, and the strategic blueprint of Jiuzhou Industrial Group became clearer. At the end of the meeting, Xia Yu also learned about the communication between Kyushu Industrial Group and Qianzhou City. It is learned that Jiuzhou Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. has adjusted its direction again and is ready to fully promote the development of the navel orange industry in Qianzhou City. And Jiuzhou Industrial Group also established a furniture manufacturing company called "Natural Home Furnishing Co., Ltd.", headquartered in Nankang County, Qianzhou City, to implement the plan set by Xia Yu to build a furniture industry for Qianzhou City. As for the strategy of rare earth mines and pharmaceuticals, the former has not yet come to fruition, while the latter will be implemented by the subsidiaries of Xiangjiang Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group, such as Taiji Pharmaceutical, Yangshengtang, Aomei Pharmaceuticals, and Renyuantang. After the meeting, Xia Yu urged Luo Yunfei to implement the content of the meeting as soon as possible, and at the same time, be prepared to accompany him to meet Liu Zhongfei... PS: There are too many poverty alleviation work. I have worked overtime and late. Sorry to finish writing after a little £þ¡õ£þ£ü£ü v3 Chapter 1235: Invest in Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Chapter 1235 Investment in Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant "Secretary Liu, long time no see!" "Mr. Xia, we haven''t seen each other for a long time!" "How about it, are you happy this trip?" "Of course I am happy. In Xiangjiang, I can''t appreciate so many magnificent scenic spots. This trip is a kind of cleansing for my whole soul!" "Haha...Mr. Xia is just happy. There are countless scenic spots left by Huaxia Land for thousands of years. Next time you have the opportunity to visit more, there are many treasures in Guangdong Province. If you are interested, I will accompany you to go shopping. visit¡­¡­" "..." After chatting with Liu Zhongfei for a while, Xia Yu exchanged a few words with Li Bin on the side, and then the group walked towards the compound and came to Liu Zhongfei''s living room. After the secretary made tea, Liu Zhongfei was kicked out. In the living room, Liu Zhongfei, Li Bin, Xia Yu and Luo Yunfei were left. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Luo, please have tea!" "Okay thank you!" "Mr. Xia, how do you feel when you come to Guangdong Province and Pengcheng this time?" Liu Zhongfei asked with a kind smile on his face expectantly. Guangdong Province, especially Pengcheng, has undergone tremendous changes every day. It has been two and a half years since 1980, and he has witnessed the changes inside. However, he also wanted to hear Xia Yu''s views. After all, in addition to policies, the biggest contribution to changes in Pengcheng and Guangdong Province came from Hong Kong businessmen. As the biggest leader among Hong Kong businessmen, Xia Yu deserves Liu Zhongfei''s attention to any of his opinions and makes improvements to make Pengcheng and Guangdong Province better, so that the effects of reform can be accelerated. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth! Only by making achievements can we stop the opposition and provide the strongest support for them! Xia Yu looked around Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin for a moment, put down the tea cup lightly, and muttered for a moment, and said: "Secretary Liu, Guangdong Province has undergone great changes, especially in terms of infrastructure construction. I didn¡¯t understand other aspects and regions. But if I have made a lot of comments, I will talk about Pengcheng." "The development of Pengcheng is very fast, and construction is in full swing, but behind this, there are huge hidden worries. In fact, there are signs of it now, and it will be fully revealed in the next two years!" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin''s face changed. In particular, Li Bin, the leader of Pengcheng, looked very solemn, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Xia, I don''t know what the hidden worries you are talking about?" "There are more, and it involves a wider range of aspects." Xia Yu said softly, but it blew into Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin''s ears like thunder. "Mr. Xia, please give me some pointers!" Liu Zhongfei said to Xia Yu solemnly. "If you don''t dare to give me advice, I''ll just say it briefly." Xia Yu cleared his throat, and uttered the thoughts he had sorted out in his heart. "The first point is the most obvious and the most urgent need to be resolved, and that is the issue of public security." "I heard that the unemployed people in society now account for more than 10% of the population. These people are unstable factors that have led to a surge in crime rates everywhere. From a business perspective, a peaceful and stable public security environment is a business The environment is a very important part. If this problem is not resolved, the impact on economic development will only be secondary. The most important thing is that it will affect the deterrence of the ruling system, which is the foundation of destruction." Liu Zhongfei nodded his head appreciatively. He stood at a very high position and was the leader of Guangdong Province. Naturally, he could understand that what Xia Yu said was the real situation, even what Xia Yu didn''t say. "Mr. Xia, please rest assured, the above issues are already under consideration, and there will be actions in the near future. You will definitely see our determination to govern the country at that time." "A country built by the people of the whole country through artillery fire will absolutely not tolerate destruction by a gang of evil forces!" A trace of murderous aura flashed in Liu Zhongfei''s eyes, and the breath of a golden horse and iron horse came from his old body during the war years. At this moment, he did not look like a kind old man at all. With memories of previous lives, Xia Yu certainly knew what Liu Zhongfei was referring to. He smiled and nodded and said, "I''m looking forward to it!" Then he continued: "The second point is the construction of infrastructure. Guangdong Province still has a huge shortcoming, which cannot be broken out for the time being, but if you don''t plan early, then it will have a huge impact on reforms." "Roads and bridges are under construction, and transportation has been greatly improved, so there is no problem. The key issue is the construction of the power supply network. If Guangdong Province wants to develop industry, it must have a strong and stable power supply! " Li Bin nodded his head appreciatively, and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, you are also hitting the key point. Industry consumes a lot of electricity, so I really have to plan early." "We have this plan here, but it has not been implemented yet, and there are still some links and problems that have not been resolved." After speaking, Li Bin looked at Liu Zhongfei. Liu Zhongfei said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you may have heard that at the end of last year, it has been officially determined that the construction of a commercial nuclear power plant in Guangdong Province has also been named. It will be called Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. The site is Dapeng New District. Peninsula, the above has been approved." "But in terms of construction investment and technology, there are still problems that have not been resolved." Xia Yu said with a smile: "I know about the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant Project. You really have a lot of problems. I have a suggestion. You might as well listen to Secretary Liu." "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Liu Zhongfei made a please gesture, leaning forward slightly in a listening state. "The construction of the Daya Bay nuclear power plant requires an investment of up to four or five billion U.S. dollars, and many places require foreign exchange in U.S. dollars. The technology also requires Europe and America to have mature technology. There will be many problems in negotiations." "And I also know that the power supply of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant has been considered for Xiangjiang. Although Xiangjiang currently has Xiangjiang Electric Light Company and China Light and Power Co., Ltd. to build large-scale power plants to increase power generation, if there is cheaper nuclear power on the mainland , Xiangjiang can make adjustments." "Why not? I ask China Light & Power Co., Ltd. or Xiangjiang Electric Lamp Co., Ltd. to cooperate with Guangdong Province to jointly invest in the construction of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. The funds are allocated in proportion. As for technology, I will be responsible for contacting. Speed ??up the construction and commissioning of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Zhongfei with a smile. Liu Zhongfei lowered his eyebrows in thought. The investment of four to five billion US dollars is indeed a huge burden for the mainland. At least two-thirds of it needs to import foreign equipment and technology. This is destined to use precious US dollars for foreign exchange, and now the mainland is just right. In short supply, foreign exchange is used everywhere. In order to compete for foreign exchange quotas, all provinces, cities, major departments, and state-owned enterprises have to fight every time. It is very difficult for them to engage in USD foreign exchange here But if Xia Yu is brought in, there is no need to worry about foreign exchange matters at all. Xia Yu can easily solve it here. This is alleviating for Guangdong Province and the mainland. A huge burden. In addition to funding issues, technology is another key point. Commercial nuclear power plants are available in many countries, including the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Which country has good technology and which country has high cost performance, all need to be compared one by one. More importantly, this is not what the mainland chooses according to its own wishes. It also depends on whether they agree to help the mainland build, and whether they will kill the mainland. , Will it be hidden evil intentions after agreeing? These issues must be considered. But if Xia Yu can be brought in, then these issues can also be handed over to Xia Yu. Xia Yu will definitely take care of it if he invests in shares. In terms of business, Liu Zhongfei knew that the mainland did not understand Xia Yu. Moreover, he also knew that Xia Yu''s huge influence in Britain, France, the United States and other countries was a guest of heads of state. If Xia Yu were to come forward, many problems would not be a problem! No matter what you think, Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station is an excellent choice for cooperation with Xia Yu. Moreover, both China Light and Power Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Electric Light Company are controlled by Xia Yu behind the scenes. He also has the strength and qualifications to cooperate with the mainland. Thinking of this, Liu Zhongfei did not hesitate too much, and made a decision in his heart, and solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I personally agree with your suggestion, but I have to report to it first and see how it goes. Research and reply to you at that time." Xia Yudan smiled and nodded and said: "I understand, this program is definitely necessary, just look at the meaning above." PS: 2020 is about to pass, and the effectiveness of poverty alleviation will be accepted. It is like fighting every day. Check one by one. There are too many things, embarrassing. v3 Chapter 1236: 10-year plan-235 plan "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "Then Mr. Xia, don''t know what your other opinions are?" Xia Yu raised two opinions one after another, both of them pointed to the key points, making Liu Zhongfei look forward to Xia Yu''s opinions. "The latter few are not so much opinions, as it is more appropriate to describe the intention to solve the problem." "The third one is that Guangdong''s steel production capacity is low and cannot support the long-term development of the industry." "Although most of the investment and construction of Guangdong Province are light industrial factories, such as textiles, toys, electronics, etc., there are still some industries that have a great demand for steel raw materials." "As far as I know, there is no large and medium-sized steel company in Guangdong Province, right?" Although it was an inquiry, Xia Yu''s tone was very determined. Even in later generations, the consumption of steel in Guangdong Province has exceeded the top 10% of the country''s, but the output is less than 5% of the country. The shortfall is that it needs to be shipped from the north or imported, and the cost is high. The only large and medium-sized steel companies in Guangdong Province in later generations are Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant, Yangcheng Iron and Steel Plant, Zhujiang Iron and Steel Plant, and a large privately-owned steel company. Now, these four companies have not yet appeared! The scattered ones are all small characters! Liu Zhongfei''s expression was a little sad, but he faced the problem and said: "It''s not true. Guangdong''s crude steel output is less than 500,000 tons." According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, the national crude steel output was 37.16 million tons last year. Although the three eastern provinces alone accounted for 60% of the national crude steel output, Guangdong''s crude steel output is indeed too far behind. . Even more, the economy of Guangdong Province has rushed from more than twenty years ago to the top three in the country now, but the output of crude steel is... This makes his face dull! However, Liu Zhongfei is also a practical person, and he takes the face seriously. The key is that, as Xia Yu said, the hidden worries behind this very small crude steel output really have to be resolved in advance. He knows that the above is to bring Rolls-Royce Motor Group to the mainland, and he also wants to bring it to Guangdong Province, where he is in charge, to create a pillar industry for Guangdong Province. Now Miss Elena of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is still staying in Guangdong Province, and Xia Yu, an important middleman, is also here. This is the best opportunity. He doesn''t want to miss it! However, as a heavy industry, the automobile industry consumes a lot of steel, and steel production is insufficient. Even if the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is brought in, there will still be many problems. "Mr. Xia, do you want to invest in the construction of a steel plant?" Liu Zhongfei said, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, steel is one of the four major raw materials of modern industry. If Guangdong Province does not have enough steel production, it will lack important guarantees for reform." "I have also learned about the distribution of steel in the mainland. There is more in the east and less in the west, and the north is heavy and the south is light. "The central part is concentrated in Sichuan and Hubei provinces." "Now that the eastern part has begun to deploy, the mainland has also introduced the technology of the island country Nippon Steel and established Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to support the industrial development of the Yangtze River Delta." "In the southern part of the mainland, there is no one, it is completely top-heavy." "It was proposed in 1978 to build ten major steel bases before 1985, none of Guangdong Province, or none of them in the southeast!" ¡°Many Hong Kong businessmen have talked to me about this topic. The lack of steel supply capacity in Guangdong Province and the lack of steel varieties make them invest in investment. This problem needs to be solved urgently.¡± "However, I also understand the situation in the mainland. Building a Baosteel has already taken away most of the resources. Guangdong Province lacks the conditions to comply with it. Instead of waiting, I should come!" "I don''t know Secretary Liu, what do you mean?" Liu Zhongfei said without hesitation: "I fully support and welcome Mr. Xia''s investment in Guangdong Province. In terms of policies, the above has been opened. On behalf of Guangdong Province, I will do my best to provide you with convenience!" "Mr. Xia, I take the liberty to ask, I don''t know what plan you have for this steel company?" Xia Yudan said with a smile: "My personal intention is to divide it into three phases, which I call the "235 Plan". Within the first two years, a steel plant will be built from scratch and officially put into operation. The crude steel production capacity will reach 100 The second stage is three years to increase the crude steel production capacity to 3 million tons per year; the third stage is to take another five years to explode the production capacity and increase the crude steel production capacity to 10 million tons of crude steel per year! " Ten million tons! A total of ten years, that is, before 1993, a company''s crude steel output was increased to 10 million tons! Both Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin were stunned by Xia Yu''s generous work! They have all experienced the large-scale steel smelting movement, and naturally know the difficulty of steel smelting. The mainland has made a concerted effort to increase the crude steel output to more than 37 million tons after decades! And most of them are low-quality steels, which can only be used in light industries with low technical content and low requirements. There are very few high-grade steels that can be used in heavy industries! According to the mainland''s steel industry development plan and inferring the development trend, in 1993, it would be good if the mainland''s crude steel output could reach 80 million tons. If Guangdong Province can have a crude steel output of 10 million tons, no, there is a steel company with an annual output of 10 million tons of crude steel, Guangdong Province will be soaring! And Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin also believe that by then, Xia Yu''s steel company will become the leader of the national steel company! This honor will also belong to Guangdong Province! "Mr. Xia, are you kidding me?" Liu Zhongfei looked excited, looked at Xia Yu tightly, and asked with a trembling voice. Xia Yu nodded resolutely: "I''m serious. Before I came, I had already held a meeting with Kyushu Industrial Group." "Yes, Secretary Liu, the boss has already mentioned it at the meeting." Seeing Liu Zhongfei''s and Li Bin''s gazes, Luo Yunfei, who had remained silent, immediately explained. The smiles on Liu Zhongfei''s and Li Bin''s faces bloomed completely, and they all said they were as brilliant as chrysanthemums. "Mr. Xia, please rest assured that Guangdong Province will do its best to support you and remove all obstacles for you!" Liu Zhongfei solemnly promised. "Then I will first thank Secretary Liu." Xia Yu said with a smile. In fact, this 10 million production capacity plan was decided after his consideration. The crude steel output in Guangdong Province is now less than 500,000 tons, which is sufficient for the time being. Two years later, in 1985, if his steel company was put into operation, coupled with the expansion of other steel companies in Guangdong Province, the crude steel production capacity in Guangdong could exceed 1.5 million tons. After next year, the spring breeze will surely blow all over the land of China. At that time, the reform and opening up of Guangdong Province will officially enter the climax stage. Enterprises that have sprung up like mushrooms will have a huge increase in demand for steel. At that time there will be 1.5 million tons The production capacity can also be supplied. By 1988, when the production capacity was increased to three million tons, Guangdong Province might not be able to digest it, and it could spread to Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. By 1993, the production capacity was increased to 10 million tons, and Guangdong Province could not consume it. At that time, it was enough to cover the Southeastern provinces and even enter the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to compete for the market. This kind of step-by-step expansion is very safe, and it won''t be too big. Ten million tons of production capacity is also sufficient. In Xia Yu¡¯s plan, the Guangdong steel company¡¯s radiation area is in the southeast of the mainland. If it continues to the north, it will not be a matter of the Guangdong steel plant. Transportation costs Not to mention Gao, because there are too many steel companies in the north, and there are local protection policies, competition is very difficult. Until then, it will not expand production in Guangdong Province, but have to go to other provinces to conduct mergers and acquisitions or to open branches in other provinces, and pay taxes to the local provinces, so that competition will not be lost. "Mr. Xia is thankful. It is me who wants to say thank you. If you set up a steel company in Guangdong Province, this is a good thing for the country and the people!" "Yes, Mr. Xia, Pengcheng absolutely welcomes you to invest and set up a factory. You can build it wherever you want..." ... "Secretary Liu, let me talk about the fourth and fifth!" "Please speak!" Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin instantly reduced their smiles and looked at Xia Yu expectantly. "These fourth and fifth ones are still closely related to the industrial development of Guangdong Province." "We all know that the four major industrial raw materials are rubber, steel, coal and petroleum. We have steel." "In terms of rubber, Guangdong Province is very close to Southeast Asia. The most important thing is that natural rubber futures have been listed on the Hong Kong Futures Exchange. The New Territories is also building a rubber spot warehouse. There is also a rubber production company in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. If we develop ourselves, the cost will be high, but the results will be slow." "The rest is coal and oil." "So I plan to set up a coal mining and processing company and a petrochemical company." "Completely solve the problem of raw material supply for industrial development in Guangdong Province, and boost the industrial and economic development of Guangdong Province!" After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Liu Zhongfei with a smile. But the latter''s expression became tangled this time. The mainland is relatively more open to the steel industry, and he is sure to get Xia Yu down. But in the fields of coal and petrochemicals, the difficulty is greater! The interests and disputes between the places and factions involved are not small. He is not too sure! For a while, the needle fell silently in the living room... v3 Chapter 1237: Guangdongs Automobile Industry "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Luo Yunfei looked at the boss subconsciously, and when he saw Xia Yu sipping tea unhurriedly, his irritable mentality instantly calmed down. For a long time, Liu Zhongfei looked at Xia Yu solemnly, and said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, I know that your proposal is based on the reform of Guangdong Province and the mainland. I personally definitely support it, but it is also difficult. It''s really big." "Personally, I fully support you, but the final result will still be set by the above." It seems that it is inappropriate to say these empty words, it seems insincere, I am sorry friends. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhongfei added again: "Mr. Xia, the resources of coal are mainly concentrated in the northern part of the mainland, especially in Jin Province, where I am beyond my reach." "As far as Guangdong Province is concerned, the extra-large coal mines have not been discovered, and there are smaller ones, but I believe there are still coal resources that have not yet been explored." "I can report a series of qualifications for coal mine exploration and production in Guangdong Province, and I should be able to get it for you." "For the petrochemical business license, I will give you full support from Guangdong Province and help you approve it." "I think the above should also give special care to Guangdong Province." "But whether these two companies can go out of Guangdong Province, I can only assist you. The key lies in you." Considering where Liu Zhongfei is standing now, these words of his have been very explicit and his sincerity has also been shown. Of course Xia Yu was not dissatisfied. As long as Guangdong Province is willing to open a hole, it will be a matter of time before he rushes out of Guangdong Province. Moreover. The coal company and petrochemical company he established in the first few years certainly needed to lay the foundation. Even if he was given a nationwide license and operating permit, he would not be able to use it temporarily. It¡¯s not too late to rush to the whole country when you have a solid base in Guangdong Province! Anyway, in the next few years, even if the reform breeze is blowing everywhere, but the focus is still on Guangdong Province, the market here is enough to support the growth of these two companies! After thinking about it, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, thank you!" "I believe that the above will make wise decisions. After all, what I have done is the basis for the development of industry. There are only good things and no harm, and logically they will not stop them." "Guangdong Province can be established first, and I will deal with the later things, but you still need to pay more attention." Liu Zhongfei smiled cheerfully and said: "Yes, the speed and effectiveness of the reforms require the support of patriotic Hong Kong businessmen like you, Mr. Xia. Now that Guangdong Province has undergone such a big change, you are indispensable, everyone can see it. of." "If some comrades have opinions, they will not figure it out for a while. I believe that as time goes by, the road to reform will become smoother and wider." "Mr. Xia still needs a lot of support in the future!" "Sure, a strong motherland is the dependence of our overseas travelers. If the motherland needs it, I will do my best." Xia Yu said solemnly. "Haha..." "Come on, Mr. Xia, have tea, I still have something to ask you..." "I don''t dare to ask for advice, I just happen to have some ideas to talk to the two secretaries..." ... Next, Luo Yunfei finally stopped being silent and joined the chat. Among them, Xia Yu and Luo Yunfei mentioned that Kyushu Industrial Group will continue to expand investment and deepen the industrial field. This has been highly recognized and welcomed by Liu Yunfei and Li Bin, and said that they will discuss deployment at the meeting and do a good job in supporting services such as policy implementation, so that Kyushu Industrial Group can develop with peace of mind. And in the end, when Xia Yu was about to leave, Liu Zhongfei suddenly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I have a merciless request, and I hope you can help me." Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, he took his seat again, smiling at Liu Zhongfei and said, "Secretary Liu, please tell me, I will help if I can help!" Liu Zhongfei smiled and said: "Ms. Elena, who is coming with you, is from the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. I would like to ask you to be an intermediary to see if you can invite Rolls-Royce Motor Group to settle in Guangdong Province and build cars for Guangdong Province. The pillar of the industry helps reform and opening up." Xia Yu lowered his eyebrows, avoided Liu Zhongfei''s hot gaze, did not rush to answer, and recalled the memories of the previous life in his mind. It seems that the previous generation of Guangdong Province was the Yangcheng Automobile Factory, which established a joint venture with the French PSA Group-Yangcheng Peugeot Automobile Company. Even in 1987, at the famous Beidaihe Conference, the mainland established the "three small and three small" pattern of China Automotive Development. FAW, Second Automobile and Shanghai have been established as the three large-scale bases for the development of Huaxia Cars. Guodu, Jinmen, and Yangcheng have become three small car bases. The development of China Automotive will revolve around them. But later, the Yangcheng Peugeot Automobile Company failed to live up to its strength. In 1997, it lost nearly 3 billion yuan and had to go bankrupt. Yangcheng Peugeot became the first failed company in the history of China''s passenger car joint venture! This has also completely changed the layout of China''s three small companies, affecting the layout of the mainland''s automobile industry. Continental has the same layout in the automotive industry as in the steel sector, and this one is top-heavy again! The bankruptcy of Yangcheng Peugeot Automobile Company was the result of a combination of many factors. But in the final analysis, the French PSA Peugeot Citroen Automobile Group is too rubbish. Before Xia Yu was in France, he already knew that the PSA Group had already suffered a serious loss. He started to lose money in 1980. This year he also learned that the PSA Group has suffered more losses. In fact, Peugeot Citroen Automobile Group is on the verge of bankruptcy. In Xia Yu''s view, the joint venture between Peugeot Citroen Automobile Group and Yangcheng Automobile Factory is nothing more than finding a place to transfer pressure, so it does not have a positive attitude in helping car localization. . Failure is naturally inevitable. In Xia Yu''s view, it is because of the selfishness and perfunctory of the French PSA Group that caused Guangdong Province to waste a lot of years and excellent policy support, and finally made a loneliness. This is undoubtedly quite a pity. With the foundation of Guangdong Province and the support from the above, a large-scale automobile group has been developed in Guangdong Province. The probability of success is extremely highThe return on investment is also great. He is secretly in control of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. So he has no reason to refuse! But people are like this, don''t cherish the things that you take the initiative to deliver. Therefore, Xia Yu said conservatively after holding the air for a while, "Secretary Liu, I will definitely help with this job, but I want to know what you think and what plans do you have for introducing the Rolls-Royce Motor Group?" "I can also discuss with you in advance to help you avoid some pitfalls. When the time comes, Guangdong Province will talk to Rolls-Royce Motor Group more smoothly, so as not to waste time and energy. As far as I know, many places are now All intend to lead the Rolls-Royce Motor Group over." Liu Zhongfei said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you!" "The Yangcheng Automobile Factory that can be best available in Guangdong Province is the model. My idea is to use the Yangcheng Automobile Factory as a base to establish a joint venture with Rolls-Royce Motor Group." "Secretary Liu, there is definitely no problem in this direction, but the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is quite different from the Tiangong Automobile Group." "I ask you the most critical question, which models of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group do you plan to introduce as products of the joint venture car company?" Xia Yu asked with a solemn expression. Liu Zhongfei was taken aback, and immediately said: "Of course it is the two brands of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The technical content of these two brands is the best, right?" Xia Yu said affirmatively: ¡°The models of these two brands are of course the most technically commercialized models, but the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is definitely not willing. I don¡¯t need to talk about this. I know!¡± Liu Zhongfei frowned and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Xia, why is this?" v3 Chapter 1238: Find the rare earth office "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "Could it be that the British government will stop it? Or is the Rolls Royce Motor Group unwilling?" "Both of them!" After Xia Yu answered briefly, he fell into deep thought. After finishing the draft, he said again: "Secretary Liu, let me explain this to you." "Rolls-Royce Motors was spun off from Rolls-Royce in the UK today. Rolls-Royce, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve heard of it. It¡¯s a British company that produces aero-engines. One of the British defense contractors." "Even though the Rolls-Royce Motor Group has been separated, it is still a bit sensitive, and this group is currently the dominant British car. For the sake of employment in the UK, the British government may not be happy to see the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. The top technology outflows." "This may come from resistance from the British government." "Of course, and more importantly, it is not only unprofitable for the Rolls-Royce Motor Group, it will also have a huge impact on their brand positioning and shake the foundation of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group." "Destroy the foundation?" "This shouldn''t be the case. After all, the cars produced are also sold in our mainland, which is an extra revenue for them!" Liu Zhongfei said with condensed eyebrows. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Secretary Liu, it is correct to say that, but this little money can''t move the Rolls-Royce Motor Group." "As you know, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group has more than a dozen car brands, including Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Rover, Morris, Wolseley, Riley, Jaguar, MINI, Land Rover, etc. ." "Among them, Rolls Royce and Bentley are positioned first and second respectively, and the price is also the highest, belonging to the top luxury car class." "Among them, the most expensive model of Rolls-Royce, the price is ten times that of my Tiangong Motors luxury car, according to the current exchange rate, it will sell for 1.9 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong." "The technical content is definitely not mentioned, but do you think this kind of car can be sold in the mainland?" Liu Zhongfei couldn''t help but shook his head helplessly and said: "Can''t sell..." In Hong Kong, they would have to sell a unit of 1.9 million Hong Kong dollars. The price was far beyond his expectation. He was certain that only the government could afford this kind of car! And will the government buy this kind of car? Xia Yu continued: "Secretary Liu, the joint venture car produced is destined to not sell. Why does the Rolls-Royce Motor Group waste financial and manpower to build a joint venture factory in mainland China and have to use the core technology?" "In fact, at such a high price, brand and technology premiums account for a large part, so it is profitable for the Rolls-Royce Motor Group to reduce the prices of these models." "But the drawbacks of price cuts are great, and they will destroy the Rolls-Royce Motor Group''s brand value system. This is the root of high profits. It is too late for the Rolls-Royce Motor Group to work hard to maintain it, so how can it kill itself." Liu Zhongfei was silent and couldn''t help sighing. "That said, it seems I don''t know enough about the Rolls-Royce Motor Group." "Secretary Liu, don''t be disappointed. In fact, think about it from another angle. Even if the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is willing to come up with these two cars for a joint venture, it may not be a good thing for Guangdong Province. Xia Yu smiled and comforted. Liu Zhongfei looked at Xia Yu in surprise: "What''s the explanation for Mr. Xia?" "The foundation of Guangdong Province is too thin!" Xia Yu said lightly. Liu Zhongfei was taken aback, and then he woke up, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although I don''t want to admit it, this is indeed a fact." "We still have a big gap to catch up with foreign developed countries." Xia Yu also said with emotion: "Yes, the automobile industry is called the crown of industry. The average car is assembled with more than 10,000 independent parts that cannot be disassembled. More top-level cars have more parts. The most can be as many as 20,000." "Behind these parts, a sufficiently strong industrial material system is needed to support them." "The more top-level parts, the higher the requirements for various indicators of materials." "Except for some of the parts of Rolls-Royce Motors manufactured by ourselves, the others are also purchased. Therefore, even if you build a joint venture in the mainland, the parts still have to be imported. And the mainland''s tariff ratio and foreign exchange reserves, you also Understand, so large-scale import of domestic assembly is simply unrealistic and unnecessary." "Mainland''s current industrial system is relatively backward as a whole. The ability to use joint venture car manufacturing to increase the localization rate and improve the level of the car manufacturing industry is a big profit." "I personally suggest that you can target the Jaguar brand with the largest production under the Rolls-Royce Motor Group as a joint venture. The technology is strong, and the self-production rate of parts is high, which is more useful for the mainland." "And the price positioning is also very appropriate." "Jaguar?" Liu Zhongfei''s eyes were a little surprised, and he nodded slowly after thinking for a moment. "Mr. Xia, thank you for your advice, then listen to your opinions and we will choose the Jaguar brand to discuss." "I have to trouble you a lot later!" "No problem, it''s my pleasure!" Xia Yu answered without hesitation. "Many thanks!" "Secretary Liu is polite, and I will do whatever I can!" Xia Yu smiled lightly. ... Not long after returning to the hotel where he was staying, Xia Yu called Elena into his room. After a while intimately, the two sat on the sofa. Elena lay in Xia Yu¡¯s arms, showing a relaxed and comfortable expression. Sweet smile. "Elena, this afternoon I talked with Secretary Liu from Guangdong Province about something, involving the Rolls-Royce Motor Group." Elena smiled and looked at Xia Yu''s charming face, and asked softly: "Did you say before, let the Rolls-Royce Motor Group establish a joint venture in the mainland?" "Yes." "..." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and then told Elena in detail. "Tomorrow you will come with me, you will discuss the direction of the big cooperation, just follow the bottom line as I said. As for the details, when you return to the UK, let a vice president of the company lead the team to negotiate. That''s it." "Okay, I listen to you." After Elena finished speaking, she once again leaned Zhen Shou on Xia Yu''s shoulder. Xia Yu tilted her head slightly, sniffing Irene''s hair, suddenly turned around and overwhelmed Irene on the sofa... ... The next morning, Xia Yu took Elena to meet with Liu Zhongfei, Li Bin and others. Elena showed her wise and capable side, advanced and retreated in the negotiation, and demonstrated excellent ability and accomplishment, which made Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin finally express their sincere praise. After a brief discussion in the morning, the initial cooperation direction was determined, and the cooperation between Rolls-Royce Motor Group and Yangcheng Automobile Factory officially opened the door. This is a good start, completely under Xia Yu''s control. Originally, Xia Yu was going to return to Hong Kong in the afternoon, but the two people who came from the north in the dust caused Xia Yu to adjust his plan again. The visitor is no one else, but Sun Yucai, who left his jurisdiction, and Chen Liyan, director of the Rare Earth Office of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry from the capital! A man who is only 41 years old and is on the same level as Sun Yucai! From this difference in age, it can be seen that the power behind Chen Liyan and Sun Yucai is not at the same level. However, the head of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry in charge of the rare earth field went directly south to find the door, which also gave Xia Yu a sense of anticipation for his previous ideas. It is very possible that this time the direction of the rare earth industry in southern Jiangxi can be directly determined, and the situation of the rare earth industry in the mainland and the world will also be changed! v3 Chapter 1239: Qianzhou Rare Earth Group "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "Mr. Xia, let me introduce to you, this is Director Chen Liyan of the Rare Earth Office of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry." "Director Chen, this is Mr. Xia." "Mr. Xia, I have admired your name for a long time, and now I finally have the honor to meet you." "Director Chen, hello, it''s an honor to meet you!" ... Sun Yucai acted as an intermediary, and after introducing both parties, Xia Yu shook hands with Chen Liyan. In terms of posture, Chen Liyan obviously put it lower, giving Xia Yu enough respect. After the two parties were seated, Sun Yucai opened the door and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, regarding your previous proposal, I have already sent a report to the provincial government, and the provincial government will report it to you. The specific situation is up to Director Chen to tell you. Talked." Chen Liyan immediately took the conversation: "Yes, Mr. Xia, this matter is not only decided by the Rare Earth Office and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. It has also been discussed at the top. The above means that the general agreement is agreed, but The details need to be discussed clearly." "That''s for sure. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and everything has to be explained clearly at the very beginning, so as not to bury hidden dangers later." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said. Chen Liyan smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, then I will speak out!" "All the contents, all remember clearly." After a reminder to the subordinates he brought, he narrowed his smile, sat up straight, and said in a humble manner, "Mr. Xia, there are currently 19 rare earth mines that have been discovered and mined in Qianzhou, of which the reserves of heavy rare earths are 4.9. The reserve of light rare earth is 680,000 tons." "We have thirteen rare earth mining licenses, belonging to 13 rare earth companies. Eight of these companies are under the jurisdiction of our Ministry of Metallurgy, and five are controlled by the local government." "These companies can be integrated into one company, and the government will no longer issue rare earth mining licenses to the second company, and at the same time make every effort to crack down on private mining and smuggling." "The value of these mines has been evaluated urgently above. This is the detailed and summary of the value of the evaluation. You can take a look." After speaking, Chen Liyan took out a document and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded slightly and looked quickly after taking it. The content of the document is relatively large, and he has skipped a lot of it, focusing on the names of various mines, companies, reserves and values, and all other introductions are swept away. He was a native of Qianzhou in his previous life. Of course, he knows how many rare earth reserves there are in Qianzhou. Now the proven reserves of heavy rare earths are only 49,000 tons, and the reserves of light rare earths are 680,000 tons. Where is this? Not to mention the lower value of light rare earths, which are mainly used for civilian use, the strategic heavy rare earths alone have proven reserves of about 470,000 tons, and the prospective reserves are as high as 9.4 million tons! Only 49 thousand tons have been discovered now! A few minutes later, Xia Yu''s eyes were fixed on the final estimated total price. 428.54 million yuan! According to the current official exchange rate of 1.9573 yuan per US dollar to renminbi, it is only worth US$219 million! Perhaps this is a great wealth for Qianzhou City. But for Xia Yu, it is simply the price of cabbage! However, considering the status quo in the mainland and the purchasing power of money, this assessment value is fairly fair. Think about it, the mainland assesses itself, and it is impossible to depress its own value. "This evaluation form is fair, I have no opinion." Xia Yu closed the materials and said with a smile. Chen Liyan showed a smile, and then continued: "Mr. Xia, this is the value evaluation of the mine. This is the current value." "But for technical reasons, the proven reserves are definitely not the peak. We have reason to believe that there are rich rare earth deposits buried under the ground in Qianzhou City." "In addition, if these mines and companies are integrated, it will involve franchise, potential mineral value and value enhancement behind it." "So according to the above meaning, our cooperation in this area is definitely not calculated according to the current value of the mine and the company, and other factors need to be fully integrated." Xia Yu nodded in understanding and said, "This is for sure, I can accept it. Director Chen, you can say that, what is the price of the integrated company above, and how can we cooperate?" With Xia Yu¡¯s support, Chen Liyan was sure in his heart. After a moment of indulgence, he said slowly: "Mr. Xia, the above said, you are our hardest friend and you have paid a lot for the country, so the above research and decision, the integrated company, The value is set at 800 million yuan." After speaking, Chen Liyan looked at Xia Yu tightly. "Eight billion?" Xia Yu was amazed, the price was 800 million yuan! "Yes, that''s what the above said." Chen Liyan nodded and confirmed. Sun Yucai on the side also stared at Xia Yu, his hands clenched into fists unknowingly. He and Chen Liyan had discussed the above decision before coming, and he was not sure whether Xia Yu would have any opinion on the price. He is obviously caring but chaotic. He wants to find a good way out for Qianzhou City... opinion? Xia Yu must have no opinion! The price is not high, but low! too low! There is no need to consider the reserves that will be explored in the future. Just by integrating all the current mines and companies and obtaining the franchise, he can double the export price of rare earth mines with a simple operation. In this way, the value of the mine, which is now estimated at more than 400 million yuan, has soon doubled to more than 800 million yuan? More importantly, it is the future! The purchasing power of currency is not constant, and the number of mineral deposits will gradually be proven. If the separation technology is developed and reaches the international advanced level, ordinary rare earth ingots of 99.8% purity mixed metal extracted from rare earth ore worth more than 400 US dollars per ton will sell for as high as 160,000 US dollars per ton. The highest rare earth powder thulium powder, the price is as high as 7.5 million US dollars a ton! So in the final analysis, technology is the primary productive force. The price of rare earth cabbage is still the price of gold. The key lies in technical strength. As long as the mainland and Xia Yu can cooperate and gradually achieve results, it will be a win-win situation for both parties. "Director Chen, I have no opinion. I can totally accept this price." Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said softly. When Sun Yucai heard the words, the nervousness disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. Chen Liyan is also very happy, this is a good start. He went on to say: "Mr. Xia, the price is okay, so let''s talk about other details of cooperation." ... After that, the atmosphere of Xia Yu and Chen Liyan''s negotiations was very good. Chen Liyan has been confessed to the bottom line by the above, and has also been told, his autonomy is not large. So the negotiation with Xia Yu is not so much negotiation as communication. In terms of the most important equity, the above means that the established Qianzhou Rare Earth Group can transfer 40% of the equity to Xia Yu, and the remaining 60% of the equity will be owned by the Qianzhou Municipal Government and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. The Office jointly holds 41% of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry and 19% of the Qianzhou Municipal Government. As for taxes, the Qianzhou City Government can withhold 60% and pay the remaining 40%. Of course, in the discussion, considering the particularity of state-owned enterprises and in order not to be disturbed, Xia Yu put forward a requirement that the personnel appointment rights of the parent company of Qianzhou Rare Earth Group are officially owned. However, Qianzhou Rare Earth Group must realize the separation of rare earth mining and smelting "dual links and full coverage". Rare earth mining resources are all concentrated in Qianzhou Rare Earth Mining Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the exploration and mining of rare earth resources. The industrial chain of smelting, processing, trade, R&D and application is in charge of Qianzhou Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd. Although the two companies belong to the Qianzhou Rare Earth Group, they are divided. The employees of Qianzhou Rare Earth Mining Co., Ltd. are all employees of the original major mines. The appointment and management of the company''s personnel are completely responsible for the official. Xia Yu can send people to supervise and prevent corruption. For Qianzhou Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd., Xia Yu is responsible for the appointment and management of personnel, and officials can send personnel to supervise them. Although the two companies are divided, especially Qianzhou Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd. is still operated by Xia Yu, which has a strong capital atmosphere, but one must be followed. That is, the national strategic interests are the first priority. If there are special circumstances, Qianzhou Rare Earth Group must implement the state''s instructions. Xia Yu had no objection to this last request. Because Xia Yu can hold 40% of the shares, according to the original valuation of 800 million yuan, he needs to inject 5.3334 million yuan of funds, of which 400 million needs to be converted into equivalent US dollars. After everything is negotiated, you have to report to it. After Chen Liyan made the report, he signed the agreement with Xia Yu after he made the decision the next day. "Papa......" In a meeting room of the Guangdong Provincial Government, under the witness of Liu Zhongfei, Sun Yucai and others, Xia Yu signed an agreement with Chen Liyan, and then there was warm applause in the meeting roomMr. Xia, happy cooperation, the country¡¯s The development of the rare earth industry requires you to bother! " "Director Chen, this is what I should do. Don''t worry, you should be able to see some results before the end of this year." "Well, I believe you!" After shaking hands with Chen Liyan, Xia Yu shook hands with smiling Sun Yucai and said with a smile: "Secretary Sun, I hope that the government can quickly crack down on illegal excavation and exploitation in Qianzhou City as soon as possible, so as to avoid internal chaos and affect the group strategy." Sun Yucai promised without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, this is my duty. You can rest assured that for the healthy development of the rare earth industry in Qianzhou, the government will severely crack down on such illegal mining and smuggling." "Two months!" "I assure you that within two months, it will be completely eliminated, and any interested party will attack without mercy, and if it is caught, it will be fined!" When he said this, Sun Yucai''s eyes were very sharp, showing his resolute attitude. Although the government of Qianzhou City holds only 19% of the shares, it can be said that 60% of the tax payment can be withheld by Qianzhou City. This is the greatest boon! Holding shares is just dividends, which can be compared to taxes! Like this kind of central enterprise, under normal circumstances, it will not give 60% of the tax to the local government. Qianzhou Rare Earth Group is a special case! He knew that this was the care of the old district in southern Jiangxi. Of course, before that, he also sought out many elderly people who went out in the old area of ??southern Jiangxi. If not many people spoke up, Qianzhou City would not be able to get special care. After the celebration banquet, Xia Yu took Elena and others on the return journey back to Xiangjiang. PS: Sorry, it was too late last night, there will be updates tonight v3 Chapter 1240: Ideal foreign investment pattern "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Regarding investment in the mainland, the strategic direction has been pointed out, and Liu Zhongfei has also been negotiated in advance. The rest of the matter does not need Xia Yu to worry about, it is for Luo Yunfei and others to play their role. According to the plan, Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko will take the flight back to Tokyo after returning to Hong Kong for a full day, and then Sandi will take the flight home from Tokyo to New York. And Sumitomo Kumiko will also return to his home in Osaka. As for Elena, she will fly directly to London in Hong Kong. So this evening when he returned to Xiangjiang, Xia Yu held a barbecue party to let everyone relax. The barbecue party was in the seaside villa where Sandi, Elena and others stayed. Excluding the bodyguards guarding all over the villa, apart from Xia Yu and the five girls, there is only one cook and one servant in the garden. Candles are lit everywhere in the garden, and occasionally the breeze blows, and the candlelight flickers. Five women, including Xia Yu and Elena, sit around a round table. At the center of the table is a vase filled with rose bouquets and a delicate candle holder. Plates of steaming grilled fish and seafood are placed on the table. . Xia Yu took the lead in raising the red wine glass, and said with a smile: "Happy times are always short. Let us toast the pleasant journey of the past month or so." "Cheers!" Sandy, Li Qian and other women got up one after another, and the six goblets lightly touched each other, and then there were bursts of laughter. "Although Huaxia is still relatively backward in all aspects, it has countless charming cultures. I would like to visit Huaxia again next time I have a chance." When she said this, Sandy''s beautiful eyes flashed with an expectant smile on her face. "Sandy, if you will go next time, remember to call me together. I want to go." Sumitomo Kumiko blinked at Sandi and said softly. ... This evening, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Everyone was enjoying wine and food in the garden and chatting about the happy hours of the past. Until the singing insects in the woods and flowers fell asleep, the crowd ended the chatting unsuccessfully and returned to the house together. The next morning, after enjoying a hearty breakfast, everyone packed their bags and headed to the airport. The flight Elena took to London took off at 9 o''clock in the morning, while the flight to Tokyo bought by Sandi and others was at 10:30. "Elena, I will miss you!" Before going through the security check, Xia Yu embraced Elena in her arms and said softly in her ear. "Well, I will always miss you!" Feeling Xia Yu''s affection, Elena showed a sweet smile, leaned her head on Xia Yu''s shoulder, and whispered softly. "Passengers taking flight CX018 to London, England, the plane is about to take off, please board the plane quickly..." At this moment, the airport broadcast suddenly sounded, and Elena had to reluctantly get up from Xia Yu''s arms. "Xia Yu, I am leaving." Elena said with a look of disappointment. "Well, Elena, pay attention to safety, call me when I arrive, the Tokyo number." Xia Yu lifted her hair for Elena, smoothed the slight wrinkles on her clothes, and said with a smile. "Well, I will." "Sandy, Kumiko, Cici, and Chao Qiong, remember to find me next time you come to London." "Okay, Elena." "Hmm..." Li Qian, Sandi and others responded one after another. After saying goodbye to Li Qian and others, Elena''s gaze was fixed on Xia Yu again, and she suddenly kissed Xia Yu, then waved her hand, and walked back to the boarding gate a few steps while escorted by the bodyguard. Xia Yu didn''t look back until Elena disappeared from her sight. "A Yu, when you are free, you will take us to London together." At this time, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong walked to Xia Yu''s side, and He Chaoqiong said vividly. Although Li Qian didn''t speak, she smiled and nodded, and Yushou quietly held Xia Yu''s. Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko looked at each other, and both showed inexplicable smiles, and even both seemed to have a trace of envy. In the past month or so, both of them have learned about the relationship between Xia Yu and Elena and other three women. They were undoubtedly surprised at first, but as they got acquainted with each other and chatted with each other, Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko gradually understood and accepted their coexistence relationship. Later, Sandi learned more and more about the ancient Chinese culture, especially the various systems and customs before the founding of New China, and she became more accustomed to the relationship between Xia Yu and others. After all, many countries in the Middle East and Africa are now polygamous, so just get used to it. Although both island countries and Europe and the United States are monogamous, Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko have also heard of or even seen the secret situation. The world of the strong has always been like this, just the difference between light and dark... After more than an hour, the flight to Tokyo was about to take off, and Xia Yu and others went to board the plane together. This time, Li Qian and He Chaoqiong will accompany Xia Yu to the island country and will return after a few days. With a burst of sound, the plane rose from the ground and cut through the clouds. After the plane flew smoothly, in the first-class cabin of the plane, Xia Yu unfastened his seat belt and changed a comfortable sitting position. "Sandy, Kumiko, after you go back this time, you can talk to your family and suggest that they invest in the mainland." "Although the mainland is now very backward and has various drawbacks, after all, it has been closed to the outside world for ten years. These are all normal. The most important thing is that the mainland is now actively opening up and embracing the world." "Although the per capita GDP of mainland China is very low and the purchasing power of residents is also very low, the mainland has too much population. This is the potential." "Island countries are now the economic center of Asia, but in 20 to 30 years, the mainland will replace the status of island countries. It is a better choice to invest in the mainland ahead of time." After Xia Yu took a sip of coffee, he spoke earnestly to Sandi and Sumitomo Kumiko who were sitting opposite. The two were lost in thought. After a while, Sandy looked at Xia Yu, nodded and said: "Well, Xia Yu, I believe what you said, I also witnessed it with my own eyes. Guangdong Province on the mainland was just a small village before, but now it has a huge Change, I believe it will be California on the mainland." "After I go back, I will try my best to convince my father. If he doesn''t believe it, I will recommend him to visit the mainland in person." "thanks for your reminder!" After speaking, Sandy showed a sweet smile to Xia Yu, with a smile on her sapphire eyes. "Xia Yu, I will also explain the situation to my grandfather and father." Sumitomo Kumiko followed. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, did not say too much about this dry content, changed a relaxed and happy topic to chat with them... Although the mainland has been open to the outside world for more than four years, countries such as Europe and the United States are still full of prejudice against the mainland. In the past two years, after Xia Yu''s media empire took shape, there were a lot less negative reports about the mainland, and a lot more fair and positive reports, which reversed some people''s perception of the mainland. However, the vast majority of people are still full of doubts and prejudice towards the mainland. Xia Yu understands this situation, but there is no way for it for the time being. After all, after hundreds of years of malicious reports by the Western media, Western people''s views on the mainland have long been entrenched, and they cannot be reversed in a moment. This is not only the case of the people, but also many elites who have never been to the mainland. Therefore, after the reform and opening up of the mainland, not many countries such as Europe and the United States have come to invest. Even if they have intentions, they are still discouraged from the various restrictions set by the mainland. Xia Yu always hoped that the mainland could rise as soon as possible. But now it is too slow to rely solely on the investment of Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese. Even if he supports it all by himself, it is still not enough. In such an era of fierce fire and turbulent circumstances, if the mainland wants to make drastic changes, it cannot do without foreign investment. This is destined. Even the powerful and prosperous United States has always tried every means to attract foreign capital inflows to stimulate its own economic development. Not to mention the thirsty continent now. Although the entry of foreign capital will have many disadvantages, there is no alternative. Even if he does not invite the Mellon Consortium and Sumitomo Consortium this time, after seeing the situation clearly later, other large foreign consortia and big capital will also enter. In Xia Yu''s view, instead of allowing consortia such as the Mitsubishi and Mitsui consortiums, the Rockefeller consortium of the United States and the First Citibank consortium to seize resources, it would be more appropriate to let the Mellon consortium and the Sumitomo consortium come in. At least the Sumitomo Consortium is not a right-wing consortium such as the Mitsubishi Consortium and the Mitsui Consortium, and is weaker than the two, and has a basis for cooperation. And the Mellon consortium is also, now its strength has declined, only five or six of the ten largest consortia in the United States. If these two consortia can make their strength stronger by entering the mainland ahead of time, it will play a significant role in the changes in the island country and the domestic structure of the United States. Compared with the pattern of competition for hegemony and evenly matched strength, compared with the pattern of obvious difference between the strong and the weak, the former is definitely more beneficial to Xia Yu and the mainland. ... It was noon when the plane arrived in Tokyo. Xia Yu had already booked a restaurant, and the group went to eat after leaving the airport. After lunch, Sandy would fly to New York. This time, the person who was sent off became Sandy. Sandy in a long skirt is still so lively. It was said that there were three women in one scene, and now the four women got together and talked for ten minutes. Finally, the broadcast reminded twice before the girls had to stop talking. "Xia Yu, before we leave, can we give a hug?" "of course!" Seeing Sandi plucking up the courage to look at herself, Xia Yu smiled and finished speaking, spreading her hands and embracing Sandy. Feeling the softness of his chest and the slightly rapid heartbeat, Xia Yu couldn''t help but speed up his heartbeat. He turned his head to look at Sandy and found that her ears were a little red. Five or six seconds later, Sandy came out of Xia Yu¡¯s arms, blinked at him with beautiful eyes, and smiled sweetly: "Xia Yu, thank you for taking me around. I have had a great time for more than a month. I believe it is an indelible memory in my mind." "I''m leaving. Next time you come to the United States, I will also take you around. There are many beautiful and fun places in the United States. You have never been to a few." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Xiandi, next time I go to the United States, I will definitely contact you!" "You must be my tour guide then." "Hmm!" Cindy tapped her head lightly, showing a happy smile. "I really want to go!" "Be careful and call me when you get home." "Ok." Just after Sandi finished speaking, she suddenly glanced at Li Qian and He Chaoqiong, her pretty face flushed, she mustered up the courage to take a step forward in front of Xia Yu, lightly touched Xia Yu''s face, dropped a goodbye, and said The skirt stepped on small steps and ran towards the gate, and the casual bodyguard immediately followed After a moment, Xia Yu subconsciously touched the place where Sandy was kissed, if I remember correctly If so, this is Sandy''s first kiss. Just kiss him. The key is this occasion... Xia Yu turned his head to look at Li Qian, He Chaoqiong and Sumitomo Kumiko. Sumitomo Kumiko was okay, but just covered her mouth and chuckled. As for Li Qian and He Chaoqiong, both of them looked at him in an annoyed manner, as if they were a little bit disgusted. "Xia Yu, Qian Qian, and Chao Qiong, I will leave first. Welcome to Osaka next time and come to my house as a guest." After that, Sumitomo Kumiko waved his hand and left with a few bodyguards. "Okay, bye!" After bidding farewell to Sumitomo Kumiko. Xia Yu retracted his gaze, shrugged nonchalantly, and said to Li Qian and He Chaoqiong: "Xianqian, Chaoqiong, let''s go home." After speaking, he took the lead and went out. Li Qian smiled at each other with He Chaoqiong, and then walked to Xia Yu''s side. "A Yu, is it very happy to have a beautiful woman kissing you?" "Have it?" "No? We all saw you smiling just now..." "Hehe, you must be mistaken." "Humph, I don''t believe it, I remember you were like that when I kissed you for the first time." "Uh... let''s go, let''s go back and talk about it, I also prepared a surprise for you, don''t you expect it?" "I want to change the subject again... But if it is a big surprise, I will forgive you and allow you to chase one more." "Isn''t it? Encourage me to chase one more?" "Then do you want two or three?" "Uh...well, I think I haven''t cleaned up you in this period of time. It''s been turned upside down. I dared to molest my husband. Let''s see how I go home to clean up you. "Don''t... giggle..." v3 Chapter 1241: The attitude of the Sumitomo family "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Not long after Xia Yu left the island country in April, Nobori Takesami swiftly acted and declared his departure from the Tanaka faction and the founding of the Founding Council. Before the founding of the Founding Council, Takejotsu did a good job of maintaining confidentiality. Therefore, as soon as the news was announced, the island nation¡¯s political arena was shaken. In particular, the Tanaka faction has directly become the laughing stock of other factions, and even more hostile factions have claimed on multiple occasions that Takejotsu has led people to rise because the Tanaka faction has no future. We advise the remaining members of the Tanaka faction to plan for their political agenda as soon as possible. . This caused Tanaka sent people to panic. Of course, even though Takejoyoshi took off and became his own faction, his strength was very weak and he had a small number of councillors, so he was not regarded as a major enemy by the major factions. On the contrary, many factions have made good relations with Takejodeng. The purpose is self-evident, which is to use Takejodeng''s Founding Council as a help, so that they can support their faction during the general election. In this way, the founding council of Takejodeng turned into sweet pastry. Takejodeng''s long-sleeved dances became popular for a while and became famous. And secretly, Zhu Shangden is also constantly looking for politicians who are unable to support the backers but are capable, and secretly absorb them into his own founding council. At the same time, with the help of Xia Yu''s media group, he has improved his reputation in a quiet way. . Generally speaking, Xia Yu is not in the island country, but his plan for the island country¡¯s political circles is advancing in the direction he expected. ... "Kumiko, are you back, having fun?" Sumitomo Kumiko returned to his home in Osaka. After finishing her room, she found her grandfather and father drinking tea in the living room. She walked up to her and asked her grandfather Shinichi Sumitomo with a kind smile. "Grandpa, Dad, I have a great time this month." Sumitomo Kumiko smiled like a flower and replied softly. "Sit down, talk to Grandpa about where you went to play, and what are the unforgettable places during your trip." Sumitomo Shinichi smiled cheerfully. Sumitomo Kumiko pursed his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Grandpa, we first stayed in Xiangjiang..." Although Sumitomo Kumiko is a long story short, condensing more than a month of Nenrong into half an hour, she still describes the wonderful journey. Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Yasuke listened to her story very patiently. "Apart from playing, what do you think of the mainland?" Facing the problem suddenly raised by his father. Sumitomo Kumiko frowned. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at his grandfather and father and said, ¡°The mainland cannot compare with our country now. Most places are backward, and it may be because of system problems, people¡¯s lifestyles and living standards. The gap is huge." "In terms of social security, it may be because there are many unemployed people in the society. Social security is relatively poor. Fortunately, there are many bodyguards following us. Several times we encountered danger and were resolved." "But there are also bright spots in the mainland, which is the mainland''s reform and opening up. Guangdong Province in the south of the mainland is developing rapidly. I feel the vitality." Sumitomo Shinichi nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask, "What else?" Sumitomo Kumiko lifted her red lips, raised her head slightly, and looked upwards in a daze. After thinking for a few seconds, he looked into the eyes of his grandfather Sumitomo Shinichi, and said very seriously: "Grandpa, I don''t know enough, but Xia Yu didn''t deliberately avoid us, so I know Xia Yu has a lot of industries in the mainland. Automobiles, infrastructure, electronics, banking, etc. are all involved, and they are all large in scale, and the mainland authorities have given him a lot of support." "On the plane today, Xia Yu told me something earnestly." "He said that although the mainland is very backward now, it has a huge population base..." Next, Sumitomo Kumiko retelled what Xia Yu said to her on the plane to my grandfather and her father. Both Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Yasuke listened attentively. After speaking, Sumitomo Kumiko put her slender hand on her knee and looked at her grandfather and father quietly. She has said everything that should be said, and she is not able to decide the rest. For a while, the living room seemed very quiet, with only gentle breathing. For a long time, Shinichi Sumitomo took the lead in regaining consciousness. He didn''t say anything, but asked his granddaughter again: "Kumiko, did he say this to you alone?" Sumitomo Kumiko shook his head and said, "No, Xia Yu also told my classmate Sandi. Sandi said that he would tell his father when he was going to go home. It was up to his father to decide." "Did you tell your classmate Sandy Mellon also?" Sumitomo Shinichi narrowed his eyes and said softly. "What is Xia Yu''s relationship with Sandy Mellon? Lovers'' relationship? Or something else?" Sumitomo Kumiko thought for a while and said: "Xia Yu has three girlfriends, one is Li Qian, one is the daughter of Omen Gambling King, and the other is Elena from England." "Xiandi is not related to Xia Yu''s lover, but...I know Xia Yu, she has feelings for Xia Yu." "I think, with Sandy''s family, she and Xia Yu shouldn''t be possible..." Sumitomo Kumiko''s tone is not so sure, after all, she is only in her early twenties. Although she understands a lot of things, she can''t understand it. "If you are a descendant of another family, the Mellon family will definitely not be willing, but if it is Xia Yu, such an excellent person, how Richard King Mellon makes the decision is uncertain." Sumitomo Shinichi smiled and said. Sumitomo Kumiko screamed, and she looked thoughtful. At this time, Sumitomo Shinichi smiled and said to Sumitomo Kumiko: "Kumiko, what do you think of Xia Yu? What is your impression of him?" Sumitomo Kumiko thought for a moment, and recalled all the aspects of her relationship with Xia Yu over the past month or so, and concluded: "He is a very knowledgeable, temperamental person. In terms of career, he is the best I have ever seen. Outstanding peers." "that''s all?" "Do you like him?" When Sumitomo Shinichi asked this, he stared at his granddaughter, and his tone was teasing. Sumitomo Kumiko''s quiet white face showed a blush, and he denied it unnaturally, "No." "is it?" Shinichi Sumitomo was a person who came here, but an old fox who was also an elite. He has reached the point of mastering the human heart. He couldn''t see the true thoughts of his granddaughter, so he laughed and said. Sumitomo Kumiko subconsciously avoided the eyes of his grandfather and father, and shyly denied: "Really." "And he has so many girlfriends, it''s too bothersome..." "Haha, a capable man, who can not bother?" "Dominating the destiny of so many people, sitting on countless resources, such an emperor-like man cares nothing, that must be his problem!" Shinichi Sumitomo stroked his beard and laughed loudly. Seeing his granddaughter¡¯s face full of blush, Shin Sumitomo smiled and said, ¡°Xia Yu has also come to the island country. You can visit him when you have time and ask him how to run the company. You can also invite him to sit at home. Go out and play." "You are all young people. You must have the same topic." "Grandpa~" Sumitomo Kumiko''s face was flushed, she stomped gently, and yelled to grandpa in protest. Shinichi Sumitomo laughed and didn''t tease his granddaughter anymore. "Well, Kumiko, you can do your own business first, and I will talk to your father about something." "Ok!" "Grandpa, Dad, I''m leaving now." After that, Sumitomo Kumiko got up and left the living room with a slight hurried pace. "Dad, don''t you really want to?" Seeing her daughter disappearing at the corner of the stairs, Sumitomo Yasuke asked in a low voice. Sumitomo Shinichi looked at his son and asked, "If it can be done, isn''t it good?" Sumitomo Yasuke opened his mouth, and then fell silent. With Xia Yu''s identity and strength, if the two parties can marry, can it be bad? There are not a few large families and consortia in the island countries who marry each other. Although many of them are superficial couples, secretly what the man should do or do, but this is not important. As long as there is this level of marriage, it is enough for them. This is the status quo of the upper class in island countries! The business and politics are no exception. For children of large families, freedom of marriage does not exist, especially for women, they have no right to choose. Everything is decided by the father or the family and cannot be resisted. Although Sumitomo Kumiko is the father of Sumitomo Kumiko, as long as the head of the family is his father, Sumitomo Shinichi, then his daughter''s decision on marriage cannot fall to him. Once the father decides, he cannot object at all. Seeing what it looks like now, how can Sumitomo Yasuke not understand? It is not without resistance that he wants to be in the family position, and there are also those who can pose a threat to him. If you can cooperate with Xia Yu, the leader of the local consortium, and have a special relationship, then it will undoubtedly be a huge help and bonus for him. For his daughter, Xia Yu is indeed a good home. Regardless of Xia Yu''s identity, status, appearance, etc., from the perspective of her daughter''s attitude, this is extremely rare. It''s time to think about it... Sumitomo Yasuke thought to himself. There are two flowers and one branch each. Let¡¯s say Xia Yu brought He Chaoqiong and Li Qian to their home in Tokyo. The two women who came here for the first time simply walked around the villa, and the three sat on the sofa together. Xia Yu magically took out the customized plan of Boeing''s private jet, handed it to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Come and see the surprise I gave you." "It''s too inconvenient to travel now. I''ll buy a private jet for each of you. See if you like that style." "There is a place you don''t like. You can adjust it according to your own requirements. Except for the hardware parameters of the aircraft, everything else can be changed." "private plane!" He Chaoqiong and Li Qian were stunned. UU read and looked at Xia Yu together. Xia Yu couldn''t help but enjoy the dull and cute appearance of the two women. This is the effect. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Yes, it''s a private jet." "A Yu, it''s too expensive, it''s unnecessary. I rarely leave Xiangjiang. Even if I want to leave, I will leave with you." "Yeah, A Yu, I bought the plane and gave it to me. It''s too expensive. There is no need to waste money." He Chaoqiong and Li Qian were very considerate, and after the surprise, they persuaded Xia Yu. Xia Yu scratched their Qiong noses and smiled, but he said domineeringly: "You can''t make money before. If you make money, you have to spend it, otherwise you will become a miser. My money will not be spent on you. Who do you plan to spend on me?" "I will also buy a private jet for Elena. You each have one. I treat them equally." "Although it''s rarely needed now, think about it, I''m often not in Xiangjiang for a long time. If you miss me, you can come to me directly by plane. How convenient?" Under Xia Yu''s persuasion, He Chaoqiong and Li Qian responded very moved. After that, the excitement of the two was expressed in a special way, which made Xia Yushuang crooked. In the next week, Xia Yu took He Chaoqiong and Li Qian on a tour of the island country. Then Li Qian and He Chaoqiong offered to go back to Xiangjiang, but Xia Yu repeatedly kept them to no avail, so he personally sent them to the plane. Without the ties and energy involved in other things, Xia Yu finally had the time and energy to devote himself to his career. During his absence from the island country. The two top elites, Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu, are not idle at all. Xia Yu was very satisfied with the results of the integration... ~: The update will be officially resumed tomorrow "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Tonight from 7 o¡¯clock until 1:30 in the morning, more than 6 hours will be used to sort out the detailed outlines of the past dozens of chapters, review the content, and at the same time collect and organize data and structure the data. The outline has been linked together. After the protagonist returns to the island country, the big story will be opened immediately. I believe that it will not disappoint everyone. Today is too late. We will have a meeting tomorrow morning. It is easy to get sluggish in the morning until three or four. ,the above. Goodnight everybody v3 Chapter 1242: The three giants of the future Latest website: Actually, Xia Yu allowed Matsumoto Yu and Wang Qi to operate freely for less than two months. This time, long words are not long, but short words are not short, and some things can still be done. In the island country Jiuding Securities Company. Xia Yu leaned on the sofa, listening to Matsumoto''s report, but looking at a document in his hand. Unknowingly, Matsumoto Yu finished his report, Xia Yu just slightly nodded, still flipping through the documents. Matsumoto You and Wang Qi glanced at each other, and then they remained silent to avoid disturbing Xia Yu''s thoughts. Suddenly, Xia Yu''s eyes condensed, and a few seconds later, his brows stretched. On the list of investment and acquisition targets compiled by Matsumoto Yu and Wang Qi, he saw a name familiar to him. Leading motor company, founder Takizaki Takeguang ([l¨®ngq¨ªw¨³gu¨¡ng). The name of the company in front is very unfamiliar, but Xia Yu is very familiar with the name of the person behind. Takizaki Takemitsu, one of the ten richest people in the future island country, has a net worth of more than tens of billions of dollars! Take a closer look at the business areas and products of leading electrical companies. In the field of industrial automation, the main products are industrial sensors and measuring instruments. Xia Yu was sure in an instant that this leading motor company would definitely be the predecessor of Keyence, which has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Keyence Corporation. This is the overlord of the world sensor field for later generations! And the main products also include measuring instruments, vision systems, PLCs, microscopes, laser marking machine research, distribution analysis instruments and so on. KEYENCE has a unique corporate culture and a very innovative spirit. According to statistics in later generations, more than 70% of KEYENCE¡¯s products are "world first" or "industry first". Many products have Substitutability. This kind of technical strength also makes Keyence''s net profit rate as high as 40% to 50% every year, and forms a virtuous circle. However, from the information point of view, the leading electric company was founded in May 1974, and it is only nine years old. The products are far less abundant than later generations, and it is still in the stage of accumulating heritage. Now the leading electric company has not yet been listed, but has announced its annual report normally. Last year¡¯s annual turnover was 6.17 billion yen, but the net profit was only 45 million yen. The reason for this is that the R&D investment for the whole year was 2.28 billion yen. In Japanese yen, scientific research investment accounts for 37% of the company''s total revenue, which is amazing! And in terms of debt, it is also very eye-catching, a big duck! It can be seen from this that Takizaki Takemitsu adheres to a prudent business strategy. Although there is no loan for development, the growth rate will be much slower, but the risk is also very small. This is a person who can stand loneliness! However, the leading electric company has not been invested by Jiuding Securities for the time being, but has only been included in the investment target list. Matsumoto Wang and Wang Qi found such a company and made the decision to invest, which made Xia Yu very satisfied. In this report, just having such a company is actually invaluable. However, Xia Yu continued to look down and was surprised again. Or two surprises! They are Shikoku Densan Co., Ltd. and Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd.! The former is a company founded in 1973 by Shigeobu Nagamo, a farmer, whose current business mainly focuses on hard disk drive motors and precision small motors, and both types of products are excellent. Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established much earlier. It was founded by Ogawa Ryohei in 1938. Originally called Ogawa Manufacturing Co., Ltd., it was renamed in 1964. Its business mainly focuses on auto parts and electrical accessories, the most outstanding products. It is a cam indexer. It has been working **** cam indexers in the spirit of craftsmanship. Last year, the world''s smallest cam indexer was developed and won the market''s popularity. Unlike Shimano Densan and leading electric companies, Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is already a listed company with a market value of 84.85 billion yen. The company¡¯s total share capital is 180 million shares, and its stock price fluctuates around 471.4 yen. There are only two shareholders holding more than 10% of the shares. Toyota Motor, the largest shareholder, holds 12.1%, and the founder family, the Ogawa family, holds 11.4%. Except for these three companies, Xia Yu did not find any well-known companies in later generations. But having these three potential stocks based in the industrial manufacturing sector is already very good. Matsumoto Wang and Wang Qi did live up to his instructions. Although these companies are still weak at present, they have huge potential. If they can earn income and grow up vigorously, they will have the confidence to face head-on with the six major consortia of the island countries in the future. Of course, the first two unlisted companies were only listed as investment targets, while the listed Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. have secretly absorbed stocks. At present, they have invested a total of 7.455 billion yen and acquired 16.12 million shares. Occupies 8.96% of the total share capital. On the face of it, it has been disclosed that the shareholding ratio is 5.1%, and the remaining shares are all hidden. In addition to the hunting target of Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., there is also a company that has been selected and started hunting by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. in the past more than a month-Suntory Company! This is a beer and beverage company founded in 1921. The predecessor was Torii Store founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899. It was officially renamed Suntory in 1967. The company has always used whiskey, beer and other alcoholic beverages as The main business, until 1980, began to get involved in the refreshing beverage industry. Especially in 1981, it launched the specialty "Oolong Tea" in Fujian Province on the island country, creating a new sugar-free field in the refreshing beverage market, and was the pioneer of the island industry. Of course, at this moment, refreshing drinks are just a new business of Suntory, showing the future. Now Suntory¡¯s first and second largest businesses are beer and whiskey. Suntory is one of the five largest beer companies in the island country, ranking third, occupying 16% of the island country¡¯s beer market. In the island country¡¯s beer market, the leader is Asahi Beer, with a market share of 36.4%. It is the core company of the Sumitomo Consortium. The second place is Kirin Beer, occupying 33.8% of the market share, and is the core company of the Mitsubishi Consortium. The fourth place is Sapporo Beer, occupying 11.4% of the market share, and is the core company of the Fuji Consortium. The fifth place is Orion, which has a market share of only 0.9%. The poor market share left is occupied by a small number of local small beer brands. Although Orion is ranked fifth, it doesn''t even have a 1% market share. At best, it is just a round up. Of the four major beer companies in the front, three are the core companies of the major consortia, but Suntory has not yet entered the consortium. Xia Yu wants to intervene in the huge market of 5 billion liters of beer each year in the island country. The least risky and least difficult one is Suntory. Therefore, Wang Matsumoto and Wang Qi have secretly acquired Suntory at a total cost of 30.78 billion yen and secretly purchased 32.93 million shares, accounting for 7.84% of the company''s total share capital. However, because the size of Suntory and Sankyo Manufacturing is different, and the beer field and the industrial field are not comparable, so avoid being too conspicuous. Wang Qi and Wang Qi and others researched and discussed the acquisition method of Suntory. The difference is that it did not disclose the 5.1% of the equity like the acquisition of Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but completely hide it. For their choice, Xia Yu expressed his approval. I have to look at Xia Yu is really satisfied with the work of Wang Qi and Wang Qi over the past month. "Good job, did not disappoint me." "The acquisition of Suntory and Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can be carried out according to your plan. I will not interfere." "As for the investment and acquisition list you listed, I have drawn two in my circle, namely Leading Motor Company and Dao Guodian Company. These two companies will buy with all their strength. Two or three times the premium is fine. I just need as much as possible. The company¡¯s equity must remain stable." Xia Yu put the report in front of Matsumoto Wang and told him with a faint smile. Matsumoto hoped to replied respectfully: "Understood, I will arrange it right away." ... Xia Yu thought everything was going well, but he didn''t expect that Matsumoto Wang urgently reported a special situation to him within three days of returning. Things went wrong with the acquisition of Suntory! v3 Chapter 1243: Tiangong Automobile Group was besieged The latest website: "Mitsui Securities Intervenes in the Acquisition?" "Did you find the motive?" In the office, Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, stared at Matsumoto Yu, and asked in a deep voice. It¡¯s really disheartening that this kind of accident happened without even launching an attack on secretly buying Suntory¡¯s stock. What''s more, Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd., which is standing in the way, is very powerful. This is one of the three financial cores of the Mitsui Consortium and the only pillar in the securities field. Matsumoto shook his head and answered Xia Yu''s question: "Boss, I haven''t found out what the motive is." "We also discovered the abnormality the afternoon before yesterday. It took more than a day to finally find out that the source of funds was Mitsui Securities. As for their motives, they are still investigating for the time being. I am afraid it will be very difficult." "Because of the intervention of Mitsui Securities, our acquisitions have been greatly affected, and the efficiency of stock acquisitions has been greatly reduced. Now Suntory''s stock price fluctuates more than before." "If it continues, Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. will soon detect that it is wrong. Maybe it has been detected now, and it may be under investigation." Matsumoto Yu let out his thoughts and worries in one breath. Xia Yu thought for a long time and did not give instructions. Instead, he asked softly: "What about the plan you discussed?" "What do you plan to do next?" Faced with the boss¡¯s test, Matsumoto took a deep breath and slowly stated what he had thought before coming: ¡°Boss, my idea is to temporarily reduce the intensity of acquisitions in the stock market and hide myself as much as possible to delay time.¡± "If Mitsui Securities Company deliberately investigates, we will expose it sooner or later." "One more thing, there is competition from Mitsui Securities. It is very difficult for us to acquire stocks, and we have already acquired more than 30 million loose shares in the stock market. The rest are more difficult to acquire. I think it does not matter if you lose part of it. ." "We started the second phase ahead of schedule, devoting all our energy to shareholders and large institutions, quickly acquiring their shares, and striving to increase the shareholding ratio as much as possible when Mitsui Securities Co. responds." "The action plan will be adjusted later according to the situation." "Thinking about it in another way, if I were the head of Mitsui Securities'' operations, and if the acquisition plan was frustrated, if I did not abandon the acquisition, then I would try my best to attack shareholders, and at the same time, I would initiate an acquisition from the Torii family and gain support from the Torii family. ." "If the acquisition cost is too high and the acquisition plan is abandoned, then I will increase the acquisition offensive and force the Torii family or the enemy to take over the stock at a high price and leave with profits." "Regardless of the analysis, Mitsui Securities will not give up. Rather than let them make strategic adjustments after discovering us, it is better for us to preemptively fight the time difference of Mitsui Securities." "All of your analysis here is based on the fact that Mitsui Securities is going to acquire Suntory. What if Mitsui Securities is not planning to acquire, but just ordinary investment, or purchasing?" Xia Yu looked serious and pointed out a loophole in Matsumoto''s words. After pondering for a moment, Matsumoto shook his head and said, "Boss, I have asked me to urgently investigate the actions of the Mitsui Consortium in the beer field in the past. I found that after Mitsui & Co., Ltd. invested 2 billion yen in 1981 to enter the beer industry and failed, March 18 this year. Japan also made adjustments in personnel matters and hired a senior vice president from Asahi Brewery. However, in the past two months, we have not seen any major moves by Mitsui & Co. in the beer field." "This is very abnormal, so I think Mitsui & Co. is planning a big move. Now Mitsui Securities Co. is acquiring Suntory''s stock. The probability of investment is very small. It is very likely that it wants to win Suntory. Compete with several other consortia." "Flap!" With a smile on his face, Xia Yu gently clapped his hands, and said with appreciation: "The analysis is very good, and the efficiency is very high." "Thank you boss for the compliment!" Matsumoto Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and said modestly. "Just act according to your plan. I believe your ability will not let me down." "Thank you for your trust, I won''t let you down." "Boss, I won''t bother you." "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, looking at Yu Matsumoto who left and closed the door, with a curved corner of her mouth. Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. came. Although it is one of the island country''s securities giants, Xia Yu is not afraid of it. It is a big deal. Anyway, Suntory is going to make a decision, and I can''t stop the king when he comes. Whoever blocks the way will do it. It''s just the beginning, so Matsumoto Yu will deal with it, and he will sharpen Matsumoto Yu''s knife by the way to accelerate his growth. By the way, I also took this opportunity to take a look at the limits of his abilities, and it will be convenient for him to use Matsumoto Yu later. In addition, he really doesn''t want to put it on it now. He got a report from Chen Caijun early this morning that Tiangong Automobile Group has encountered a huge problem! Tiangong Automobile Group got stuck! There are huge risks in the supply of steel materials such as crude steel and fine steel required for automobile manufacturing. If a stable and reliable steel supply chain with guaranteed quality is not found, the automobile production capacity of Tiangong Automobile Group will be greatly affected. Because of steel quality and price issues, Tiangong Automobile Group''s steel products are imported from island countries. Chen Caijun is very sophisticated, so in terms of steel, he did not only cooperate with one company, but also cooperated with the island country''s Nippon Steel and the island country steel pipe company. But the problem now is that the two island nations'' steel industry leaders and second children have problems with the steel supply to the Tiangong Cycling Group and cannot deliver them temporarily. Chen Caijun had to arrange for someone to find other large steel companies in the island country. As a result, the large orders placed by Tiangong Automobile Group, whether it was Kawasaki Steel or Kobe Steel, all refused! Even if I find a small steel company in the island country, I only buy crude steel but not sell it. Finally, I spent money to find out that it was an order issued by the Island Iron and Steel Export Association to prohibit the export of steel to Tiangong Automobile Group. The Island Iron and Steel Export Association is not the ultimate behind-the-scenes hand. The command behind it turned out to be the Island Automobile Industry Association. As for the government''s involvement, I didn''t inquire. But the reason is already obvious. The island countries do not want the rise of Tiangong Automobile Group, and they do not want another large auto company in Asia to participate in the competition. What''s more, Xia Yu also knows that in the past few months, Tiangong Automobile Group has spent a lot of money to lay out sales and after-sales channels and open directly-operated 4S stores around the world. The island country is the largest automobile consumer market in Asia. Naturally, it has become the key laying object of Tiangong Automobile Group. In the past few months, Tiangong Automobile Group has opened 13 car 4S stores in the island country. These are only open and under renovation, and there are also 21 stores. That''s all. UU Reading The key is that Tiangong Automobile Group has also attracted many consumers in the island country because of the newly launched SUV models that are temporarily unique to the world. The business is good, and Tiangong Automobile Group has opened up the situation in the island country. The car companies in the island countries are notoriously quick to respond, so they noticed this situation and reached an agreement as soon as possible, hoping to interrupt its growth momentum at the beginning of the rise of Tiangong Automobile Group! In addition to just now, in terms of some auto parts, companies affiliated to many consortia in the island country have also taken blockade measures. This is an all-round strangulation of the Tiangong Automobile Group! The situation is critical! Therefore, after Chen Caijun learned of the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to neglect and reported the situation to Xia Yu. At the same time, he actively sought a way out. On the one hand, it sent people to South Korea to solve the steel supply problem. On the other hand, it sent people to the Rolls-Royce Motor Group to help solve the supply problem of auto parts. At the same time, it sent people to the United States to solve the problem of auto parts. Supply issues. v3 Chapter 1244: 3 Well Securities found The latest website: "Behind it is the Island Automobile Association, but there must be a lead." "The ban imposed by the Island Iron and Steel Association is too ridiculous. If the island government has a strong enough voice in the iron and steel industry, it will not cause successive control failures to turn the island iron and steel industry into a depressed industry..." In the office, Xia Yu tilted Erlang''s legs, narrowed his eyes, and kept analyzing in his mind. In the end, his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he thought of the way to break the game. The island country has now surpassed the United States and has become the world''s largest steel production country after Hongsu. It is true that quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. In the case of such a huge steel production, the steel smelting technology of the island countries has also been advancing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, in this era, in Asia, the quality of steel in island countries is indeed the best, and the cost-effectiveness is also the highest. South Korea is not yet comparable. For the quality of the cars produced by the Tiangong Automobile Group and the control of production costs, when it is still unable to produce qualified and sufficient steel products, steel products from island countries are still the first choice. Korean steel, Taiwanese steel, etc., are the next best choices. Those behind the scenes should also know this, so they started with steel to curb the development of Tiangong Automobile Group. From this point of view, Xia Yu¡¯s direction for establishing a steel company in Guangdong province is right, but it will take some time for the company named "China Southern Steel Company" to grow up and play a role. Xia Yu has not been involved in the steel industry before. If you want to accelerate the growth of China Southern Steel, the best way is to get one-on-one support from a company with mature technology and mechanism, just like the island nation¡¯s Nippon Steel assisted the construction of Baosteel in mainland China. guide. So Xia Yu immediately decided to purchase more than one steel company directly in the island country, breaking the blockade of the island country iron and steel association from the inside. Moreover, steel is the cornerstone of industry. In the future, if you want to compete with the six major consortiums of the island countries in the industrial field, without a strong steel company, you will still be stuck as you are now. It is enough to be caught in the steel field with one encounter. He doesn''t want to fall twice in the same place! ... Chen Caijun''s abilities and resources are limited, and he is not sure about the details, but Xia Yu is different. It took him less than a day after he started the energy. At ten o''clock the next morning, as he looked at the information on the island country''s steel industry, detailed investigations were sent to him. It took twenty minutes to read all the information, and Xia Yu showed cold light in his eyes. The investigation of the problem is clear, and the instigator is the island''s largest automobile company-Toyota Motor Group! In addition, Nissan Motor Group and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are also firm supporters. Under the call of these three, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Toyo Motor Industry, Isuzu Motor Group, Mazda, etc. responded one after another, and then the power generation forced the steel industry to make a decision. Toyota Motor Group is the core industry of the Mitsui Consortium. The second Nissan Motor Group, whose strength is not much different from Toyota Motor Group, is the core pillar of the Fuji Consortium. The old three Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the old four Honda Technical Research are the core enterprises of the Mitsubishi consortium. Toyo Motor Industry Group is a core company belonging to the Sumitomo Foundation. Isuzu Motor Group is the No. 1 Quanye Consortium. Mazda belongs to the Sumitomo Foundation. With this calculation, the six major consortia are all in place. Automobile companies are the industrial pillars of major consortia, and they have a lot of say in their respective managerial meetings. It is normal to be able to promote the steel industry to make decisions. After all, after a series of mergers and acquisitions and integrations over the past few decades, the large steel companies in the island country are all six consortiums, and there are only a few small and medium steel companies that survive independently or jointly. The reason for suppressing the Tiangong Automobile Group is very clear. The major car companies in the island countries have seen the market''s enthusiasm for urban SUVs, so they have all launched research and development of this type of car, but it will take some time before mass production. They hope to jointly suppress Tiangong Automobile. Group, delay its production to avoid Tiangong Automobile Group from grabbing market share. ... Osaka, the Sumitomo family. The elderly Sumitomo Shinichi took a plate of fish feed and graciously fed the koi in the fish pond. Beside him, Sumitomo Yasuke asked in a low voice: "Father, according to time calculations, Xia Yu should know the troubles Tiangong Automobile Group has encountered, but I don''t know what he is thinking. There is no movement yet." Shinichi Sumitomo gave a meal of feeding the feed, then continued to spread the feed, and said softly: "Yeah!" His father''s answer made Sumitomo Yasuke confused. He contemplated for a while, but still didn''t understand whether his father understood what he meant. After thinking for a while, he asked his doubts: "Father, do you think Xia Yu will come to us for help?" "After all, in the island country, we can only help him if he can solve his problems." Sumitomo Shinichi glanced at Sumitomo Yasuke this time, shook his head slowly and said, "I don''t know either." "You don¡¯t have to worry too much. Of course, it¡¯s the best thing for this to happen. Even if it doesn¡¯t happen, then our relationship with Xia Yu will not become bad. After all, before this, Sumitomo Metal Industries and Tiangong Automobile Group did No business relationship." "Although Mazda joined our Sumitomo Consortium, in 1979, Ford bought 25% of the equity. Now the company''s operator is still the Matsuda family, which has no direct relationship with us." "Xia Yu wants to hate, and that is also hatred of the Mitsui Consortium, Fuji Consortium and Mitsubishi Consortium." Sumitomo Yasuke frowned slightly, and nodded slowly after thinking for a moment: "You are right." "I just think that we can''t miss such a good opportunity. If Xia Yu is willing to ask us for help, we can not only reap his favor, but also attract a major customer for Sumitomo Metal Industries, and deepen our cooperation. relationship." Sumitomo Shinichi looked slightly serious, glanced at his son, and said lightly: "Kansuke, your mentality is wrong, don''t take this matter so seriously, we have no other way except waiting for him to come to the door." "If we take the initiative to find him, the nature will change, and the spread will not affect us ~ www.novelhall.com~ Anyway, the rise of his Tiangong Automobile Group will definitely have a certain impact on our country''s automobile industry. We have just met him not long ago, and we haven''t reached the level of confronting other consortia for him." "Look at it slowly, he is not a person who will suffer. I am a little expecting his reaction." "If you can compete with those companies, haha..." Speaking of this, Sumitomo Yasuke seemed to think that he was too whimsical. He smiled and stopped talking. He grabbed a handful of fodder and sprinkled it on the water, attracting a large number of koi like flower clusters vying for food . ... And Mitsui Securities Company''s side. A subordinate hurriedly came to the door of Yohei Haneda, the vice president in charge of investment and mergers, and knocked on the door of his office... PS: In the new year, I wish you all peace and prosperity! v3 Chapter 1245: Nearly 0 billion yen funding shortfall Latest website: "President Haneda, what you asked me to investigate has progressed." The first sentence of the subordinate after entering the door disturbed Haneda''s mind. He put down his pen and asked in a deep voice, "How far have you found it?" The subordinate immediately replied: "The enemy uses an anonymous account in the stock market, so it is very difficult to find out. The reason why I found out so quickly is due to the offline acquisition team. They are watching the movements of major shareholders according to your instructions. , Discovered that someone was secretly contacting Suntory¡¯s small and medium shareholders, and then tracked down and discovered that these people finally went to Jiuding Securities." "Unexpectedly Jiuding Securities Company!" "I have already contacted shareholders..." Hyouhei Haneda frowned, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart. In the past few months, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has been in the limelight and its strength is obvious to all. Companies in the financial industry have realized that it is a fierce financial giant. Unexpectedly, the Suntory company that Mitsui & Co. entrusted them to acquire was also targeted by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and the other party was still in the advanced stage. It is not at all clear to what extent Jiuding Securities has reached. On their side, together with the equity of Suntory they held during their previous investment, they now hold 4.72% of the equity of Suntory. In this kind of competition, the difficulty for Mitsui Securities to complete the acquisition target will exponentially increase. The current largest shareholder is the Torii family, and the disclosed cumulative shareholding ratio is 21.7%. According to the original plan, Mitsui Securities will acquire more than 22% of the equity, surpassing the Torii family, and then transfer all the equity to Mitsui & Co., using the power of the consortium to overwhelm the Torii family. Put Suntory in control. "Now that the plan has been disrupted, I''m not sure how much equity Jiuding Securities has acquired. There are fewer and fewer options..." Haneda Hyohei sat in the position to meditate for ten minutes, then suddenly got up and took his subordinates to the operation room where the operation team responsible for the acquisition was located. "President Haneda." "Well, what happened to the acquisition?" Yohei Haneda asked Ichiro Kameda, the person in charge of the operation, but looked at the electronic disk. Kameda Ichiro said with ashamed expression: ¡°President Haneda, the results of the acquisition are not satisfactory. At present, the daily trading volume of Suntory¡¯s stock is declining day by day. In addition, there are opponents rushing to raise money with us, so it is more troublesome.¡± "The market opened today and it has only bought 264,000 shares." It was Haneda Yohei who was mentally prepared, but when he heard this data, he was still disappointed, and his heart sank. At any rate, Suntory is a large listed company with a market value of nearly 400 billion yen. The company''s total share capital is as high as 420 million shares. Now that the trading volume is so low, it is very likely that a large number of loose shares have been bought by Jiuding Securities. It is no longer possible to count on rushing to raise money in the stock market to turn around, and the cost will be extremely high, and there is no upper limit. "Is the momentum of the opponent''s bidding fierce?" Haneda Yohei asked again. Kameda Ichiro shook his head: "It''s not very ferocious, it''s just normal intensity." Haneda Hyouhei narrowed his eyes and figured out the intention of Jiuding Securities. It seems that Jiuding Securities does not want the stock price to be too high, which will affect the acquisition outside the stock market. He decisively ordered Kameda Ichiro: "We also reduce the intensity of acquisitions. If our opponents do not increase their efforts, then we will also cooperate and control Suntory''s share price as much as possible. It is best if it can fall." "The day after tomorrow is Friday, so hold on for two more days!" "Yes!" Kameda Ichiro didn''t know why, but he still took the order faithfully. Haneda Hyouhei turned and left the operation room, immediately summoned the competent cadres of the investment and merger department, took a short meeting in 20 minutes, issued an order to tackle the shareholders, and divided the task into various groups, and set a time limit. . After the meeting, a group of employees left Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. aggressively. ... After all, Mitsui Securities is one step behind Jiuding Securities. Before they started to act, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. used money and smashed six shareholders at a cost of 52.74 billion yen and bought 35.4 million shares at an average premium of 58%. As a result, Jiuding Securities'' shareholding ratio in Suntory has soared to 16.43%. But after Mitsui Securities Co. intervened, other acquisitions that were under negotiation instantly entered a state of anxiety. Once the two parties compete, the news cannot be hidden. In order to obtain higher benefits, one of the shareholders took the initiative to spread the news. Mitsui Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. are competing for shares in Suntory! The three companies are all giant-level companies, and the news is so explosive and explosive that it immediately attracted countless eyes. Many fast-reacting institutions and stockholders immediately poured into the stock market to speculate on Suntory''s stock price. As the sole victim of Suntory, the president Keizo Torii was shocked at this time, and immediately called all shareholders to inquire about the situation and convened the tribe to discuss countermeasures. 2:12 in the afternoon. "Father, I''m back." The last important person, Torii Keizo''s son, Torii Nobuya, rushed to the family chamber, and after reporting to the upper father, he achieved the only vacant position on the right hand of Torii Keizo. Opposite Torii Nobuya, his cousin who is nine years older than him, Shinichiro Torii, who is the vice president of Suntory. "Okay, everyone has arrived. Now we have a meeting. I will tell you the situation first." Torii Keizan looked very heavy, and said in a deep voice, "Today, our family has encountered the biggest crisis in history. Two large securities companies, Mitsui Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. have opened their mouths to us and want to The company that our family has run for 84 years is taken away!" "The extent of the current crisis is still unknown. We don''t know how many shares Mitsui Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co. have bought from the stock market and shareholders, and we are not sure how high their true shareholding ratio is." "After so many years of mergers and acquisitions and listings, our family currently only holds 21.7% of the company''s equity. This ratio is already relatively high in the overall environment." "but!" "Both Mitsui Securities and Jiuding Securities have a consortium. The former is our domestic Mitsui consortium, and the latter is a large consortium from abroad. No matter which one it is, its strength is far beyond our family!" Hearing this, everyone felt heavy and felt a sense of oppression and suffocation. They don¡¯t know the foreign consortium behind Jiuding Securities, but how can they be unclear about the power of the Mitsui Consortium? As a competitor, they are very clear about Mitsui''s ambitions in the alcohol market. Now that Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. has launched such a naked acquisition, they can easily think that Mitsui & Co. has changed its strategy for the alcohol market. This also means that they have no retreat, and the price of bowing is to give up some or all of the equity, and the company is no longer the final decision of their family. "At this time of crisis, we must be united. At present, Suntory''s equity is still scattered in everyone''s hands. I propose to establish a family fund, and everyone''s equity will be replaced with equity in the family fund in proportion to the value. After speaking, Torii Keizan glanced at everyone. His son Nobuya Torii did not hesitate to support him, raising his hand and saying, "I agree." Others looked at Torii Shinichiro subconsciously, because he was actually the eldest grandson of the Torii family. Torii Shinichiro did not disappoint Torii Keizo. He raised his hand and replied loudly, "I agree too." "agree!" "agree!" ... The others agreed, and Keizo Torii showed a smile before disappearing. At this critical moment, the shares of Suntory held by the tribesmen can be integrated together, eliminating many risks. Although he doesn''t believe that any tribe will betray the family... "I will send someone to register the family fund later. As for the specific rules and regulations, I will improve it later. I will temporarily control the family fund." "But even with the establishment of a family fund, our crisis has not been resolved." "We only own 21.7% of the equity, which means that we still own 78.3% of the equity outside. No matter which side of Mitsui Securities Co. or Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. gets 3%. At 13.4, our control over the company will be out of control." "By then, our current company management system and board structure will be easily changed." "The best way is to increase our family''s shareholding ratio in the company to more than 33.4%. With a veto, we can gain a firm foothold." As soon as Torii Keizo finished speaking, Shinichiro Torii, who was sitting on his left, couldn''t help but utter a voice. "Uncle, the family should not be able to raise so much money." ¡°Now the company¡¯s stock price has broken through one thousand yen and continues to soar. The competition between Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has just been exposed, which means it has just begun. According to previous cases, the stock price It is very possible to increase several times." "Conservative assumptions. We increase our shareholding ratio to the target line at a price of 2,000 yen per share. We also need to buy 49 million shares, which would cost 98 billion yen. The amount of money is too huge!" "And this is just a conservative assumption!" "The most valuable of our family is the equity of Suntory. At other times, when we need funds, we can use equity to go to the bank for mortgage loans, but now we absolutely dare not and cannot do so. Apart from equity, where else can we raise funds? " Shinichiro Torii looked at his uncle Keizo Torii seriously, and pointed out the biggest problem. Others nodded, agreeing with Torii Shinichiro''s point of view. For a while, the atmosphere in the chamber was stagnant again... v3 Chapter 1246: Take risks Latest URL: This is a very heavy problem. But I have to face it! For the Torii family, who see Suntory as their goal, investing in other things is not as good as investing in their own company. Therefore, most of the assets of the Torii family are concentrated in the equity of Suntory. If it weren¡¯t for this kind of behavior, as a Suntory company that had a history of more than 80 years and acquired a large number of companies during the period, it was able to stand out. The Torii family would not be able to hold the current 21%. Seven shares have long since fallen to more than ten percent, or even a few percent. In the post-war island countries, it is normal for most companies to have dispersed equity. In most listed companies, the total equity of the top ten shareholders is only 20 to 30%, which is considered high if it can reach 30%! With such a low ratio, most companies are still stable because of the diversified ownership, cross-holding of the company, and separation of the company¡¯s equity and management. However, Suntory is not a consortium company, so the cross-shareholding situation is not obvious. The company''s equity and management rights are directly connected. Most of Suntory''s executives are members of the Torii family. For example, the president of Suntory is Keizo Torii, and the vice-president is Shin-Iran Torii. Keizo Torii¡¯s 30-year-old son, Shintadori Torii, is already the president of the Osaka branch with the most resources... Destroying Suntory''s equity structure system can easily impact Suntory''s management system. Torii said with a heavy expression on his face: "Of course I know the situation of the family, and that is what I assume is the best situation for our family." "Although the probability of realization is very small, even if there is a little hope, we should make unremitting efforts to achieve it!" "Each of you has assets and contacts. I hope that you can give full play to your energy, whether it is selling assets or borrowing money, to raise funds as much as possible and let the family buy back stocks." "In order to acquire as many stocks as possible and spend ten times or even tens of times the effect of one yen, I suggest directly entrusting banks to use financial leverage to help us acquire them." "LBO?" As soon as Torii Keisan''s words fell, there was a commotion in the chamber. Everyone looked at each other as if they wanted to express their opinions, but after looking at each other, no one said anything. They are all very clear about the common financial means of leveraged buyouts. They are nothing more than finding a reliable bank or a third-party company such as a fund, and relying on third-party funds to purchase stocks. After all, it''s just playing the side ball, the empty glove white wolf! The bank also chooses to cooperate for high interest rates. The case of the "Wanjia Culture" acquisition that made a lot of noise in the mainland in the past life is a typical example. The Zhao and his wife have registered for only one month and have not yet carried out actual business activities. The total assets, net assets, operating income, and net profit of the Longwei Media shell are zero. They invested 60 million yuan, and then passed a 10% annual The interest rate borrowed 1.5 billion yuan from a third party, and then nearly 1.5 billion yuan was financed by stock pledge, with total assets as high as 3.06 billion yuan. It intends to buy 29% of the equity of Wanjia Culture, a listed company with a market value of 10 billion. ! Financial leverage is as high as fifty times! If the Torii family can also find a third-party organization that is willing to accompany them to play this way, then the Torii family can raise 2 billion yen and use 100 billion yen to increase their shareholding. What''s more, only the acquired equity is mortgaged. The 21.7 percent of the equity that their family currently holds does not need to be mortgaged, so they can''t worry about being eaten by the black hands of financial institutions. Even if the leverage is less than 50 times, 20 to 30 times, the funds that the Torii family needs to prepare are only six or seven billion yen, far less than 100 billion yen. This is still the Torii family¡¯s Within the scope of ability. "Uncle, are you planning to find our domestic banks and capital companies, or foreign ones?" Shinichiro Torii looked at Keizo Torii with scorching eyes and asked. Torii Keizo immediately replied: "Of course, the first choice is foreign companies. The strong domestic banks and financial companies are mostly related to the six major consortia. When looking for them, let¡¯s not say whether they are willing or not. The risk is too great." "I believe that as long as we are willing to give sufficient interest commitments, European and American financial institutions will not refuse this temptation." "After all, our family still has the ability to repay. The existing assets can support our family''s creditworthiness. As long as we can survive this crisis, there is still a year for us to deal with hidden dangers and pay interest. I think this risk is worth taking. " "Even if the acquisition fails, if we can sell the acquired stocks at a high level, we can also make a difference, which is also a comfort." The chamber fell into silence again, and everyone bowed their heads and frowned in thought. In fact, the pros and cons are very easy to distinguish. Otherwise, in the Torii family''s case, it is absolutely impossible to raise hundreds of billions of yen on their own. If you don¡¯t have the money to buy stocks, you can only watch Mitsui Securities and Jiuding Securities fight unscrupulously. In the end, one party decides the winner. The control of Suntory is taken away by one of them. The Torii family needs to breathe back. Complete loss of autonomy, let others knead. If this is done, if it succeeds, the Torii family needs to pay very little money, and the money is paid by a third party. As long as the Torii family does not go bankrupt, the third party does not have to worry about losses, and just lay down and collect high interest. The Torii family needs to pay interest and repay the loan on time. If Suntory''s stock price falls, the Torii family will bear the loss. After all, the amount of the contract signed by the Torii family with a third party remains unchanged. With the current Torii family¡¯s shareholding ratio in Suntory, unless Suntory¡¯s share price shrinks to less than one-third of its current value, the Torii family may go bankrupt. This probability is very low. Even if the acquisition fails and not enough stocks are acquired, there is still a way out. Compared with the previous ones, it is still possible to make some money to enrich the family. Risks and opportunities coexist! Gamble or not? There is no doubt that all the people sitting in the Torii family decided to gamble after thinking about it! Fight! "Uncle, I agree with your approach!" "I agree!" "Seconded!" ... With one person agreeing, Keizo Torii breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. He stood up abruptly and shouted: "Since everyone has no objections, from now on, we must unite and work together for the family." "The thing about looking for a third-party organization I and Shinichiro are in charge of raising funds. Both of us will contribute to raising funds, but you are all going to raise funds." "Besides, don''t forget to keep the company stable. The company must not mess around at critical moments." "Please, Lords!" After saying that, Keizo Torii bowed deeply in a full gesture. "Eh~hh~hh~" "Please rest assured, Patriarch!" "The family will be able to tide over the difficulties!" Everyone present got up one after another, all expressions solemnly promised. Subsequently, everyone left with their own missions to fight for the fate of the family. The storm in the dark has swept the ground more and more fierce... v3 Chapter 1247: Price beyond expectations Latest website: The Torii family is at the center of the storm, attracting eyes from all directions. Under this kind of gaze, the news that Torii Keizo and Torii Shinichiro have visited the island branches of multinational banks and financial institutions cannot be hidden. The situation of the Torii family is well known. In particular, many media have reported in depth. At this critical juncture, to find multinational banks and financial institutions, the Torii family has no second possibility other than borrowing money. Many companies in which Xia Yu holds shares or absolute holdings, such as the Bank of Barings, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Bright Fund, Wells Fargo, and Polaris Capital, have branches in island countries. The wealthy Wells Fargo Bank was visited by the Torii family, and the news quickly passed a few hands, and finally reached Xia Yu''s ears. "The Torii family used this calculation. They didn''t want to take risks with their own equity, but also wanted to participate in the stock purchase, ha ha..." "But the risk is uncontrollable, but they are not in charge!" Xia Yu thought about everything in his mind, and thought of a few operative methods, and the arrow aimed at the shares currently held by the Torii family. After thinking about it, he picked up the encrypted phone and called the headquarters of Wells Fargo Bank. After talking on the phone for a few minutes, Xia Yu got up and left the office, called Matsumoto Yu and Wang Qi next door to the operation room together. Although the Torii family hasn''t really participated in it yet, it has been reported that they will never wait to die. The contention between Mitsui Securities and Jiuding Securities for shareholder equity has quickly entered a fierce stage, so Suntory''s stock price is no longer the two parties can suppress. After Xia Yu entered the operating room, he saw that Suntory''s stock price had soared to 1387.6 yen per share. Compared with the beginning, the total increase was close to 50%! And the rally is still not weak! "How much equity do we already have?" Xia Yu glanced at Matsumoto Yu and asked quietly. "Boss, so far, a total of 20.23%." The changed data was always in Matsumoto''s mind, and he reported it easily. "Is it possible to estimate how many there are at Mitsui Securities?" This question is very difficult. Matsumoto was silent for a long time before answering uncertainly: "The specific number cannot be determined. However, we have not taken the shares of three shareholders who have competed with each other. It should be because of Mitsui. The securities are bought, and the total equity ratio of these three shareholders is 3.48%." "Adding to the equity that Mitsui Securities previously held publicly, it is conservatively estimated that the shareholding ratio of Mitsui Securities is over 8%." Xia Yu quickly calculated that the total shareholdings of his own party, Mitsui Securities Co., and the Torii family accounted for about half of Suntory''s total share capital. This means that there are still about 50% of the equity in the hands of other people. It is still far from separating the victory and defeat, and all three have a chance. Although it seems that among the three parties, one''s own side has the best chance of winning, but until the end, nothing is known. Let''s start with the strongest, expand the advantage further! After thinking about it, Xia Yu told Matsumoto Yu: "Matsumoto Yu, make a plan for a full-scale attack. The single share is less than 2500 yen, and the stock market will give up temporarily." Matsumoto Yu sternly said: "Yes!" ... After Matsumoto summoned all the acquisition teams and re-issued instructions, Jiuding Securities'' acquisition offensive became very fierce. With sufficient bidding authority, it was a cruel one when negotiating an increase. In contrast, the various acquisition teams of Mitsui Securities were smashed because of authority issues. The Torii family was also anxious, and there was no time to slowly lower the cost of borrowing, and finally reached a cooperation with Wells Fargo Bank, which has relatively loose conditions. The Torii family raised 3 billion yen in an emergency. At the cost of a 12% lending rate, they borrowed 60 billion yen from Wells Fargo Bank, and then used 12% of Suntory¡¯s equity and 50.4 million shares as collateral, and another 60 billion loan Japanese yen, with a total capital of 123 billion yen. These 50.4 million shares refer to stocks acquired in the future, not the existing stocks of the Torii family. The agreement also clearly stipulates that the 12% interest rate is a maximum of one year. When the bank assesses the Torii family''s assets and credit is good, the payment cannot be collected in advance. But if the Torii family repays the loan early, the short-term loan interest rate is equal to the annual interest rate of 12%. This means that more than 100 billion yen has been paid to the Torii family''s account, and even if the Torii family pays it back within a day, they have to pay interest at a 12% interest rate. In addition, the agreement also stipulates that if the Torii family¡¯s acquisition fails and the pledged stock is less than 50.4 million shares, or the stock price plummets and the value of 50.4 million shares is lower than the loan amount, the Torii family needs to make up the collateral within 15 days, or To repay the shortfall of funds, otherwise it will be deemed that the Torii family voluntarily defaults. Wells Fargo has the right to take any measures to ensure its own interests, and the interest rate remains unchanged at 12% until the agreement is completely concluded. This means that if the Torii family¡¯s acquisition fails, there will be 15 days for the Torii family to deal with it urgently. Either the principal of 120 billion yen plus the interest of 14.4 billion yen will be paid in full, or the equivalent The pledge of principal. It seems that these conditions are beneficial to Wells Fargo, but in fact, Wells Fargo also took a lot of risks. After all, according to the current stock price of Suntory, 50.4 million shares are pledged, which has doubled the excess loan. According to the normal stock mortgage loan, there is no at least a half discount, or even broken bones. Furthermore, the assets of the Torii family are mainly concentrated in Suntory''s stocks. If Suntory goes bankrupt or the stock price plummets and its assets become insolvent, Wells Fargo can only bear the losses. These risks add up to a big deal. Compared to the banking industry that operates steadily in the general environment, Wells Fargo''s conditions are definitely very loose. At least the Torii family still has a lot of autonomy and choice. ... With 123.0 billion yen in funds, if you only need to acquire 50.4 million shares, the purchase price can average to 2440 yen per share. Compared with the current Suntory¡¯s stock price of only about 1,400 yen, it seems that there is still a lot of money. Large space is left for the Torii family to operate. Of course, in actual private acquisitions, the stock price can only be used as a reference, and the specific price still depends on the seller¡¯s psychological expectations and the buyer¡¯s negotiation skills. No matter what, when he got more than 100 billion yen in funds, Torii Keizo''s confidence was instantly enough, and he rushed into the battlefield aggressively and intervened in the battle for equity. After all, relying on years of cooperation and human relations, Torii Keizo still occupies a lot of advantages. At least if the price is the same, shareholders will give priority to selling shares to Torii, and they are willing to sell even lower ones, which is relatively simple. However, in terms of the purchase price , since Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. contact all shareholders at the same time, there are two competitors, and the purchase price is not much lower. Suntory¡¯s shareholding battle instantly entered a heated state. Among the three parties, Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. bears the most pressure. After urgently communicating with Mitsui & Co., Tian Yangping, who was responsible for the acquisition of Yu, gritted his teeth and directly slammed, and relaxed the authority of each acquisition team to 2,900 yen per share! Matsumoto realized that the situation was not right. After asking Xia Yu for instructions, he also decisively increased the authority of each group from 2500 yen per share to 3000 yen per share. As a result, the intensity of competition has risen by another level. Torii Keizo discovered with horror that the purchase price had exceeded his psychological expectations. 123 billion yen seems to be insufficient... v3 Chapter 1248: Provoking the Big Mac Regardless of whether the funds of 123 billion yen are sufficient, since the agreement has been signed to borrow the money, Torii can only bite the bullet and rush forward. And he has to spend the money as soon as possible, otherwise the more competition is behind, the price is likely to get higher and higher. With this mentality, the members of the Torii family are competing for each shareholder''s equity, and the quotations are rising, while Keizo Torii controls the overall situation while trying to continue to raise funds. The fierce competition between the three parties outside the stock market has attracted much attention. Although the specific transaction price of each acquisition has not been exposed due to confidentiality agreements and common interests, this fierce situation alone is enough to provide a steady stream of Suntory''s stock price. Power. When Xia Yu paid attention again, Suntory¡¯s stock price reached 1725.4 yen per share! The actual purchase price in private, Jiuding Securities, the highest one has reached 2,980 yen per share! That''s more than 1,200 yen! The magnitude of this excess alone is higher than the stock price of Suntory before the price increase, which is very surprising. After several equity acquisitions, Jiuding Securities¡¯ actual equity has reached 28.05%. As for the two parties, Mitsui Securities and the Torii family, the specific shareholdings can only be approximated, and there are no precise figures. At this critical moment, all parties are hiding and daring not to expose it. It can be seen that they are still far from the critical line. ... Mitsui Securities Company. Hearing reports from his subordinates that his total shareholding ratio was only 15.4%, Hyohei Haneda looked gloomy. According to calculations, the actual shareholdings of the Torii family and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. are both above 25%, and they are the most backward party! It is roughly estimated that the equity in the hands of scattered shareholders and minority shareholders is less than 35%, and there are many scattered stocks that are in the stock market! If Mitsui Securities wants to enter Suntory and gain the right to speak, at least 18% of the equity must be acquired. This has exceeded half of the remaining equity that has not been acquired by the three parties, and the probability of success has become very small. Haneda Yopei turned his head to look at Yosuke Yamaguchi next to him, and said apologetically, "Yamaguchi-kun, I''m really sorry, we might disappoint you." Yosuke Yamaguchi is the vice president in charge of the food and alcoholic beverage business within the Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and the acquisition of Suntory was proposed by him, and he obtained the company''s permission to entrust Mitsui Securities to be responsible for the acquisition. He did not expect that such a strategic decision would be so difficult to execute. So today, I had to visit Mitsui Securities Company in person to understand the truest situation. Never thought it was such bad news. This makes Yamaguchi Yosuke''s mood terrible. "Haneda-san, how much funds have been consumed?" Haneda Hyouhei turned over the record and said: "At present, 130.97 billion yen has been consumed." Yamaguchi Yosuke''s brow furrowed deeper. The initial funding approved by Mitsui & Co. was 200 billion yen. Later, when he saw that the situation was grim, through his efforts, he added another 50 billion yen in funding, which adds up to 250 billion yen. But now Mitsui Securities has spent 130.97 billion yen, which means that there is still a quota of 119.03 billion yen. If you want to exceed it, the company must approve it. According to the latest acquisition price of Mitsui Securities Company, it is 119.03 billion yen, which is a good percentage of 9.5%. Adding 9.5%, their shareholding ratio is also a bit worse than 25%. The more he thought about it, Yamaguchi Yosuke became more annoyed, and his anger gradually filled his chest, making him irritable. When Haneda saw this, his face was not good, he sent his subordinates out, and sat quietly with Yosuke Yamaguchi. a long time¡­¡­ Yosuke Yamaguchi tried to calm down, but he couldn''t squeeze a smile on his face. With a calm face, he begged Hyohei Haneda: "Kun Haneda, don¡¯t put too much pressure on it. I know this matter has nothing to do with you. Jiuding Securities¡¯ participation in the competition is an uncontrollable accident. To." "Although the probability of success is very small now, I still have to ask you to bother and help me acquire as many shares of Suntory as possible." "As for how to deal with it later, I will go back to the company to think about it, and then ask the company''s board of directors for instructions. I will ask you about the latest requirements when that time comes." Hyohei Haneda said hurriedly, "Okay, Yamaguchi-kun, please rest assured, I will continue to arrange the following actions with all my strength." "Haneda-san, thank you!" "Yamaguchi-kun is too polite, this is what I should do..." ... Although everyone has the same status, Yamaguchi Yosuke came here in person after all, and Haneda Yohei had to press down again in order not to be looked down upon. This allowed Mitsui Securities to gain success in the next two days, raising its shareholding ratio to 19.32%. However, Mitsui Securities also consumed 52.15 billion yen again. And Mitsui & Co. finally made a decision on this matter, that is, Suntory¡¯s acquisition was too expensive and temporarily abandoned the original acquisition plan. However, in order not to work in vain, Mitsui & Co. decided to maliciously raise the stock price to make some profits and then leave. All these profits are handed over to Yosuke Yamaguchi for investment and operation in the beverage market. Without the burden of the acquisition task, Hyohei Haneda was completely relieved, and with a big wave of his hand, he asked his subordinates to let go of the stock price of Suntory. In just one day, Suntory''s stock price rushed from the opening price of 1914.7 yen to the closing price of 2261.8 yen, an increase of more than 18% that day! Suntory¡¯s stock price has skyrocketed, which has changed the mindset of the remaining shareholders, thereby increasing the difficulty of equity acquisitions. But at this time, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has already completed the task first. The equity held by Jiuding Securities has reached 33.56%! The moment the goal was completed, Matsumoto Yu rushed to Xia Yu''s office and reported to him the results. "Boss, our actual shareholding ratio has reached 33.56%! We have completed our plan!" "Okay, good job!" Xia Yu smiled and praised him. "Today, Suntory''s stock price has risen a lot, and there is a main force entering to increase its stock price. Therefore, if it is to be acquired later, the difficulty and cost will increase a lot." Matsumoto Yu was not proud, but remained calm and reported the abnormal situation to Xia Yu. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that one of the parties has given up This is just trying to reap the benefits." Mitsui Securities and Torii''s family continued to appear in Xia Yu''s mind. After analysis, it was found that both parties were suspected, but Mitsui Securities'' suspicion was even greater. Fortunately, I just happened to have acquired enough equity, otherwise I would really get more blood. "If you want me to bleed heavily, then have fun with you and see who is the worst in the end, hehe..." A thought flashed in Xia Yu''s mind, and he immediately told Matsumoto Yu: "Matsumoto Yu, there will definitely be one party who will go all out to speculate the stock price. You wait for the shareholding to be disclosed, and it is enough to disclose about 28%, and then take a high profile. Show the determination to acquire and cooperate with the enemy''s performance." "Let the people below do enough to do the show, don''t show your stuff!" Matsumoto was stunned, and after a few seconds, he understood the boss''s true intentions, and he couldn''t help smiling expectantly. "Boss, please rest assured, I will now let people execute your orders." "Wait a minute, there''s more." Xia Yu immediately said, shouting Matsumoto Yu who wanted to leave. "Immediately send someone to buy Nippon Steel''s stock. Because of Mitsui Securities, we have to spend so much money to acquire Suntory''s stock, and we must earn it back from here!" "Show me after you plan." "Yes!" Matsumoto Yu replied decisively, feeling the blood flow all over his body speeding up. Nippon Steel, this is the well-deserved leader of the island country''s steel industry, a giant with a turnover of more than three trillion yen last year! The market value also exceeds 1,500 billion yen. This kind of giant backed by a super consortium, in the entire capital market, few institutions dared to operate maliciously. Now that the boss intends to chew on this hard bone, Matsumoto has a feeling of impatientness. v3 Chapter 1249: Mingxiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang Latest website: Nippon Steel is one of the core pillars of the Mitsui Consortium, and because of the special properties of steel, this company can be said to be extremely important. The size of a company is actually the embodiment of its overall strength, which includes the technical level. The current pattern of the steel industry in the island countries is a pattern of one superpower and multiple powers. One Super is Nippon Steel, which is proud of the crowd. Duoqiang is a number of large steel companies such as Island Steel, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Kawasaki Steel, Kobe Steel, etc. These companies are all at the same level, and their turnover is between 1 trillion yen and 15,000 yen. Between 100 million yen. However, compared with Nippon Steel, which has a turnover of more than three trillion yen, it is not as much as half of it. This time it was the Mitsui Consortium that caused trouble to Xia Yu''s acquisition plan. If Mitsui Securities did not appear, with the Torii family¡¯s shareholding ratio, according to the original plan of Jiuding Securities, it would be easy to win it, and the cost would not be high. The funds spent now are enough to buy more than double the shares now! On the Tiangong Motor Group, a company headed by the Toyota Motor Group, which is also a subsidiary of the Mitsui Consortium, took the lead in the blockade, and Nippon Steel took the lead. Therefore, this time the contradiction is directly aimed at Nippon Steel, which is definitely not wronged! The Mitsui Consortium is only, although the overall strength is stronger than Xia Yu. But Xia Yu did not dare to fight it! ... However, sniping on Nippon Steel, in addition to serving the purpose of disguising the Mingxiu plank road, one of the real purposes is to extortion and make money. If you really want to acquire it absolutely, it is very difficult for now! Therefore, for the sake of his own steel field layout, Xia Yu prepared to keep secrets, and what really screened out were three other goals. Tokyo Steel Corporation, Sanyo Special Steel Corporation and Nisshin Steel Corporation! Tokyo Steel Corporation, which is a company founded in 1924 and headquartered in Tokyo. As of last year, Tokyo Steel has 4,722 employees and 2.02% of total crude steel output in the island country. The company has sales of 189.33 billion yen and net profit of 2.63 billion yen. This is a relatively independent steel company that has not joined any of the six major consortia. Because of multiple mergers and mergers in history, the Tokyo Steel Corporation has many shareholder factions. In addition, the government has failed in the past two decades. As a result, the island countries have serious overcapacity of steel production, so the competition is fierce. Any of the six consortiums has overcapacity and high sales pressure, so Tokyo Steel, which proudly wanted to remain independent before, even if it wanted to be merged into the six consortiums, none of the consortiums could be appreciated. . Without the background of the six major consortia and no powerful general trading company to help with sales, Tokyo Steel has a difficult business operation. This can be seen from the net profit margin of only 1.39%. At present, the total assets of Tokyo Steel Corporation are 240.91 billion yen, the liabilities are 179.4 billion yen, the net assets are 61.51 billion yen, and the debt ratio is 74.47%. The company has been listed, but the market value is less than 60 billion yen. 52.36 billion yen, 19.9 times earnings. This price-to-earnings ratio is very high in the capital market where the price-to-earnings ratio of island countries is generally only a dozen times. It stands to reason that the steel industry is now a sluggish industry, and it is very abnormal to have such a high P/E ratio. However, a closer observation reveals that the reason why it has such a high price-earnings ratio is due to the net assets of Tokyo Steel Corporation, which is now higher than its market value. However, net assets are very important and not important. The key depends on the mentality of the investor. For large consortia, if you have money, you don¡¯t need to buy a company with such a low profit margin. You can¡¯t win even if you run bank interest. In fact, you will lose money if you buy it. Even if you don¡¯t lose the assets of Tokyo Steel, you will lose yourself Assets, so it is just a tasteless or burden. For ordinary investors, such a low profit margin is still such a depressed industry, with few dividends and low upside potential, and there is no need to buy it. So it is only natural that Tokyo Steel''s market value is so low. The second, Sanyo Special Steel Co., Ltd., was established in 1935. This is a specialized company producing special steel. Headquartered in Himeji City, southwest of Hyogo Prefecture, it was founded in November 1933. Sanyo Steel Co., Ltd. was established in 1935 and began to produce bearing steel. It was renamed Sanyo Special Steel Co., Ltd. in 1959. The steel plant mainly produces special steel bars, wires, pipes and semi-finished products. The detailed division involves steel used in bearing steel, tool steel, auto parts steel, transportation machinery, engineering construction machinery, petrochemical equipment, thermal power generation, electrical machinery and other fields. In addition, it also produces corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant superalloys, metal powders, metal powder metallurgy products, composite materials and magnetic materials. Because it belongs to a more technical field in the steel industry, although Sanyo Special Steel''s revenue is not as good as Tokyo Steel Corporation''s revenue, only 67.39 billion yen, less than half of it, but its net profit is 2.75 billion yen. , The profit rate reached 4.1%, which is already considered high in the island country¡¯s entire steel industry. In terms of company assets, total assets are 99.49 billion yen, liabilities 62.29 billion yen, net assets are 37.2 billion yen, debt ratio is 62.6%, and debt ratio is much better than Tokyo Steel Corporation. The market value is 40.74 billion yen, and the price-earnings ratio is 14.8 times. This P/E ratio is the P/E ratio of an excellent steel industry company, which is in line with the characteristics of a depressed industry. The last one is Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd., which was formed in 1959 by the merger of the island nation¡¯s iron plate and Nichia Steel, headquartered in the New International Building, No. 4-1, Marunouchi 3-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. As of 1982, the company had 5,212 employees, and its crude steel output was 2.45 million tons, accounting for 2.42% of the island country¡¯s 101 million tons of crude steel output (the second in the world). The company¡¯s sales were 226.82 billion yen and the net profit was 56.7. Billion yen, with a profit margin of 2.5%. In terms of assets, Nisshin Steel is the largest of the three, with total assets of 293.88 billion yen, liabilities of 20.99 billion yen, net assets of 92.89 billion yen, and a debt ratio of 68.4%. Nisshin Steel was listed in 1972, and its current market capitalization is 86.22 billion yen, with a price-earnings ratio of about 15.2 times. The reason why Nisshin Steel has a lower profit margin than Sanyo Special Steel, and a higher price-earnings ratio, is that it is a subsidiary of Nippon Steel, Nippon Steel holds 13.5% of its shares, and Nisshin Steel produces The steel can be sold abroad through Mitsui & Co., so the investment risk is lower for investors. Of the three companies Xia Yu is staring at, the first two are relatively independent steel companies, and they are not backed by large consortia, and the only Nisshin Steel Company backed by Nippon Steel has a low shareholding ratio. If the raid is done properly, it is very possible to seize it from Nippon Steel. Among the three, Nisshin Steel Corporation and Tokyo Steel Corporation are the most downstream companies producing crude steel. Together, their total output can reach 4.5 million tons, accounting for 4.42% of the island country''s total output! If it can be taken down, although it is still not as good as the crude steel output of the steel giants controlled by the six consortiums, it can become the strongest outside the six consortia. As for the Sanyang Special Steel Company, what Xia Yu values ??is its technical strength and rich products. Most of the products can be served by his consortium and can be digested internally. The most important thing is that it can greatly Solve the problems encountered by Tiangong Automobile Group. Bearing steel, tooling steel, auto parts steel, etc. are all what Tiangong Automobile Group needs now! ... Just when Xia Yu deployed and planned these three steel companies. Jiuding Securities¡¯ disclosure of its shareholding ratio in Suntory on the exchange has attracted great attention and heated discussions. Immediately afterwards, the outside world was speculating about Jiuding Securities'' intention to disclose its equity. As the president of Jiuding Securities Company, Matsumoto Yu clearly announced his determination and attitude towards Suntory in an interview with reporters, and declared that he would invest another 100 billion yen in equity acquisitions! Then domineeringly let out Any competitor with malicious intent will end in failure. It is recommended that they stop the loss as soon as possible, so as not to regret it! As soon as the news came out, Suntory''s stock price started to soar. When Hyohei Haneda ridiculed Matsumoto at Mitsui Securities, Keizo Torii was frightened by the Torii family. But he was unwilling to give up now, and ordered again and again to let the acquisition team increase the bargaining chip and try to get as much equity as possible. At this moment. Wells Fargo Bank, which had a friendly cooperation once, was very understanding and took the initiative to come to the door. "Kun Torii, our bank is strong. I heard that you need a lot of funds recently, and we are willing to help you!" In the meeting room of the Torii family, Toshi Maruyama, president of Wells Fargo Bank, smiled while looking at Keizo Torii and said. Torii Keizo''s hand holding the teacup violently violently, struggling violently in his heart... v3 Chapter 1250: The last craziness Latest website: According to the previous cooperation plan, Wells Fargo Bank raised 120 billion yen to the Torii family, and the pledge is 50.4 million shares to be acquired in the future. But now after fierce competition, the Torii family has bought 38.64 million shares, accounting for 9.2% of the company''s total equity, which is 11.76 million shares short of the set target. However, the preparation of the acquisition funds, the total amount of 123 billion yen in self-financing, has now been spent 113 billion yen, and there is exactly 10 billion yen left. With the current situation, it is impossible to buy 11.76 million shares for 10 billion yen. According to the predetermined action plan, the action can now be said to have failed. It stands to reason that Keizo Torii should get out in time and sell the 38.64 million shares he entered, which is likely to make a profit of 15 billion yen or more. In addition to the 10 billion yen left in our hands, we have 25 billion yen in funds. End the contract in time and pay off the 12% interest agreed with Wells Fargo, which also leaves 10.6 billion yen. These are all profits! This profit is not small! If the company¡¯s shareholder dividends were distributed in accordance with previous years, it would be less than that for a 10-year distribution. But Keizo Torii was not reconciled anymore, he didn''t want to give up. This is how people are. The most painful thing is not that there is no hope, but that after seeing hope, but having to give up painfully. Now Keizo Torii is facing this choice. The Torii family previously held a 21.7% stake in Suntory, but now they have acquired a 9.2% stake, which adds up to 30.9%. From the 33.4% shareholding line, there is a 2.5% stake. This gap is already very small. What''s more, Jiuding Securities currently holds only 28% of the shares, and Mitsui Securities should have fewer shares. The advantage is already on its side. As long as you work harder, you will be able to achieve your goal without worrying about taking away the company that your family has run for more than half a century. According to the current market conditions, although the acquisition cost has further increased, if a share price of 3,800 yen per share is offered in private negotiations, it will definitely be a winning streak. According to this stock price, you need 44.7 billion yen. After deducting the 10 billion yen that you still own, you only need to borrow 34.7 billion yen, which is 35 billion yen. I borrowed more than 100 billion yen before, and now I borrow more than 30 billion yen... Seeing Torii Keizo being silent for a long time, the corners of Maruyama''s mouth rose slightly. It seems that the analysis before coming is correct. Torii Keizo attaches great importance to Suntory and will not give up easily if he is not a last resort. It''s time to add fire. Toshi Maruyama said very understandingly: "Kun Torii, the stock price of your family company has exceeded 2,000 yen per share. When I came here, I took a look at it. The stock price is 2,147 yen per share. Compared to the beginning, it has more than doubled." "Moreover, depending on the situation, it will continue to rise in the future. Our bank believes that the value of your family''s company stock is very worthy of recognition and can give a higher mortgage ratio. Toshi Maruyama opened his mouth to shut up "Your family''s company", and while Keizo Torii felt sweet, his feelings of reluctance became more intense. This is their own family company. Is it really necessary to give it away? If he watched the company be taken away by the enemy, how could he be worthy of his dead grandfather and father! At this moment, Keizo Torii seemed to have in his mind the indoctrination of his father and grandpa, as well as the pride and pride when he mentioned the family company... A look of decisiveness flashed in his eyes, he looked directly at Maruyama Jun, and solemnly asked, "Maruyama-kun, if I want to use our current stocks as a mortgage, what percentage is Wells Fargo willing to give?" "Eighth floor!" Maruyama said without hesitation. The stock mortgage gives an eight-tier ratio, which is already extremely high. But Keizo Torii was not satisfied. He shook his head and said, "Maruyama-kun, this ratio is too low." "You also said that Suntory''s stock price has a surprisingly high growth potential, which is too low based on the current eight-tier stock price." "You were quite sincere before. When you gave us a loan, the number of 50.4 million shares is equivalent to more than 2,400 yen per share." "Now that Suntory''s stock price has risen a lot, I think it is more appropriate to mortgage 2500 yen per share." Toshi Maruyama smiled bitterly, and said embarrassedly: "Torii-kun, the last time I gave such a broad condition, I have been criticized after it was passed to the headquarters. This time I really cannot give such a high percentage. ''S competitors are already attacking me, asking whether I accepted your bribes and that is why I gave loans illegally." "That is, there is someone above me who is under pressure for me, so I haven''t been investigated." "I have been placed in the sun now, and there are not a few people staring at me. You can''t just watch me lose my job and even have to bear legal responsibility?" Speaking of this, Keizo Torii did not doubt, after all, Toshi Maruyama did give him too much help last time, and he was very grateful. But grateful, grateful, he still has to think about his family as much as possible. "Maruyama-kun..." ... After some difficult discussions, the two finally reached an agreement. The Torii family can take out another 17 million shares of Suntory¡¯s stock as collateral to obtain a loan of 35 billion yen from Wells Fargo Bank. The loan interest rate is 10%, which is two points lower than the previous one because the risk is lower than the previous one. some. This time, the 17 million shares of shares have to be taken out and paid in one hand and the other hand. Wells Fargo has no right to dispose of these 17 million shares if the risk resolution clause is not triggered. Of course, after the negotiation, it does not mean that this is the final result, because this is just the attitude of Torii Keizo. He has to convene family members and go through the process of democratic consultation. Although there is a high probability, family members will not object... Sure enough, after Toshi Maruyama left, Keizo Torii immediately sent someone to notify all members who were eligible to attend the family meeting, and another meeting was held that night. The final result was a unanimous vote, the user Keizo Torii''s decision. The island people have the genes for madness and unwillingness to give up. They dared to bet on the national fortune crazily before, but now this decision of the Torii family is too risky, how can they not dare to gamble? In order to reduce the cost of the acquisition, Torii Keizo directly informed Maruyama''s decision by phone that evening, and then the next morning, he went directly to Wells Fargo Bank with the equity certificate, signed the agreement on the spot, and withdrew the money on the spot. When 35 billion yen was acquired, plus the remaining 10 billion yen, a total of 45 billion yen, Torii Keizan all invested in the acquisition. Only need to buy another 2.5% of the equity ~ www.novelhall.com ~ last night at the family meeting, we have negotiated and selected three small shareholders with sufficient equity and great confidence. Before he came to Wells Fargo, other key members of the family had already led teams to negotiate acquisitions. ... But not long after Torii Keizo left, the news that he had mortgaged another 35 billion yen was transferred a few hands and passed to Xia Yu. This time, Xia Yu smiled. The Torii family is already in the final fight. "Hehe, the last madness is coming, and it''s almost time to close the net!" In Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu stood with his hands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at Mount Fuji in the distance, feeling very comfortable, and said with a light smile. Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu who were standing beside him also laughed... v3 Chapter 1251: 3 Jing Securities panicked The latest website: Acting a full set! In addition to its aggressive performance in private acquisitions, Jiuding Securities has also no longer converged in the stock market. It has joined the rush to raise funds with fanfare, and the buy orders have become more fierce than ever. Mitsui Securities Co. wished Jiuding Securities Co. to do so. Even because Jiuding Securities actively disclosed its shareholding ratio and is not far from the 33.4% line, there is no doubt about Jiuding Securities'' motives. Therefore, the competitive situation in the stock market is completely fierce. 2215.5 yen per share. ... 2349.8 yen per share. ... 2484.2 yen per share. ... Without the limit of the daily limit, Suntory¡¯s stocks run wild like a runaway horse. Investors who hold Suntory''s stocks or buy related funds are completely immersed in this carnival. But no one was aware of the crisis that was already poised to take place behind this blooming blossom. Even if Xia Yu has ordered people to use a number of offshore registered investment companies as a shell, bet against others to short Suntory''s stock. Because this is a short-term upward trend, in order to make the gamblers more willing to bet against, these companies set a period of one month for the betting. This time seems to be very risky for the gamblers. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the contention between the three parties cannot end in one month. Therefore, some investment institutions with high gambling nature have agreed to gambling and borrowed their stocks. The price of the borrowed stock is generally between 2,300-2,500 yen per share. In just one day, 19.74 million shares were borrowed, accounting for 4.7% of the company''s total equity. All of the borrowed equity was held in the hands and not sold. ... The Torii family''s gold dollar offensive was very effective. It did not cost the estimated 44.7 billion yen, but only 43.8 billion yen, which means that all the shares held by the three minority shareholders were bought. The total shareholding ratio of the Torii family has reached 33.4%! Among the Torii family. Everyone gathered together, and the chamber was full of laughter. Sitting at the top, Keizo Torii had a gloomy old face like a blooming chrysanthemum. With a shareholding ratio of 33.4%, the Torii family has an invincible position in terms of shareholding. And now their family is the largest shareholder. In his view, as long as Jiuding Securities and Mitsui Securities are wise, they must either give up their actions and withdraw, or choose to make peace with their Torii family. After all, all important positions of Suntory are controlled by the Torii family. Even if they acquire 33.4% of the equity, they cannot control the company''s personnel. Even if they compete, they will only plunge the company into turmoil. I believe that only profit-oriented financial companies Not so unwise! "Uncle, since we already have enough equity, I suggest that we disclose it to the public as soon as possible so that Jiuding Securities and Mitsui Securities will give up." "Otherwise, if it drags on for a long time, one of them, especially Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will increase its shareholding ratio to 33.4%. Their mentality will definitely change. It will be disadvantageous for us and there will be unknown risks. ." After Shinichiro Torii was happy, he proposed to Keizo Torii. As soon as this remark came out, the chamber became quiet for a moment. After thinking about it, everyone here agreed with Torii Shinichiro''s point of view. "Shinichiro''s worries are right. Patriarch, I think we should disclose the shareholding ratio as soon as possible." "I also support." Torii Keizo also wanted to know what everyone could think of. He nodded in agreement: "According to everyone''s opinion, the shareholding will be disclosed tomorrow." "But as soon as we disclose, then we must use the acquired 50.4 million shares as pledge and hand them over in accordance with the agreement with Wells Fargo." The last sentence, although everyone does not like to listen to it, but there is no objection. After all, it is done according to the contract. With so much money from Wells Fargo Bank, you have to act according to the contract. Anyway, the equity is only temporarily frozen for trading, and the ownership is still in their hands. ... Early the next morning, the Torii Family Fund disclosed its shareholding ratio to the exchange, and then Keizo Torii held a press conference at which he announced the Torii family¡¯s control of Suntory. Calling by name, thank you for your recognition of Suntory, and welcome all capable friends to work together to make Suntory bigger and stronger. Torii Keizo''s posture is confident and calm. And because the Torii family was the first to increase its shareholding ratio to 33.4%, Suntory''s stock price was also affected. The stock price continued to fluctuate for about ten minutes before continuing to rise, but the rate of increase has slowed down. The big market maker behind has also changed from two parties to one party. Jiuding Securities Co. has all withdrawn, and only Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. is still trying its best to speculate the stock price. Mitsui Securities Company. After listening to the report of his subordinates, Haneda Hyouhei immediately made a decision and took the initiative to sell shares to Jiuding Securities. He could guess that the purpose of the Torii family''s voluntary disclosure of equity was to scare away his side and Jiuding Securities. He also cannot guarantee whether Jiuding Securities will be deterred. So at this time, it is his last chance to leave. It is a pity that Suntory''s stock price only rose to 2,762 yen per share. They acquired a total of 82.68 million shares before and after, at a cumulative cost of 136.07 billion yen, and the average purchase price per share was about 1,646 yen. Even if they were sold at a fair price at this price, the profit would be just over 1,000 yen. According to their initial vision, they intend to speculate on Suntory¡¯s stock price above 3,000 yen. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for profit from the plan. A stock price difference of 200 yen, so many of their stocks can also have a profit margin of 16.5 billion yen, which is already huge. However, the specific profitability depends on how we will discuss with Jiuding Securities Company. Maybe we can talk more highly. After all, there must be a premium for acquisitions, especially for their equity that still plays a decisive role. It''s just that Haneda Hyouhei thought is very good, but the cruel reality gave him a slap. Faced with Mitsui Securities Co., the president of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was very sincere and personally participated in the negotiation, but the prices offered made the people of Mitsui Securities Co. feel insulted. 1,000 yen per share! Jiuding Securities is only willing to offer this price to purchase all the shares of Mitsui Securities. And Matsumoto Yu''s attitude is very firm, at this price, Mitsui Securities will sell it or not! The plan prepared by the negotiating team of Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. was quoted at 3,500 yen per share for the first time, but this price was never quoted, and it was blocked by Matsumoto. The difference between 1,000 yen and 3,500 yen is too large. After multiplying by 86.28 million stocks, the gap is 206.7 billion yen, which is more than 900 million U.S. dollars at the exchange rate. How can such a big gap be discussed? The negotiating team of Mitsui Securities Co. left and brought the news to Yohei Haneda. "Snapped!" "idiot!" "How dare Matsumoto Yu do this!" After slamming a cup in anger, Hyohei Haneda stood up, his mustaches were open, and his eyes were full of anger. It''s just that under this monstrous anger, there is panic and anxiety. Matsumoto Yu is too abnormal. Could it be that Jiuding Securities Company gave up, or is it... If it is the former, he is not worried. But when the second possibility came to mind, Yohei Haneda couldn''t help sweating... PS: second more v3 Chapter 1252: Virtual reality Latest website: "Unfortunately, this acquisition can only come to an end, but our operation was at least partially successful. Investors don''t need to worry about losses..." "Are you planning for the next step?" "Well... we have a large number of investment plans with great potential, so in the next step, we will reintegrate funds and make new investments. I believe that we will not disappoint investors who trust us... Thank you!" In front of Jiuding Securities Company, facing a large number of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons, Yu Matsumoto looked calm and calm, always smiling. Just this tolerance can make people subconsciously believe and relax. ... After answering a few more questions and getting most of the reporters gains, Matsumoto stopped interviewing and left the company by car, not knowing where he was going. Such a big battle naturally attracted countless eyes. Around Jiuding Securities, there are still many eye-catching people and various financial companies. Therefore, Matsumoto Yu¡¯s attitude was informed to the leader in the fastest way. In less than five minutes, all institutions involved in long Suntory¡¯s shares learned the specific news. Although there are still institutions in doubt, but many institutions are very decisive, taking advantage of such a big market maker as Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has not yet dumped the stock, ready to quickly clear the stock and withdraw. Suntory¡¯s stocks are now extremely risky, and it¡¯s too late if you don¡¯t run away. Greedy is a must. Only in this way, the seller''s market, which was originally in short supply, became a buyer''s market with oversupply. Suntory''s stock rally was directly interrupted, and an inflection point went straight down. In the beginning, there were many slow news agencies and buyers who bought a lot, but as the news spread further, there were fewer and fewer buyers, and the stock price fell rapidly. All of this was seen by Mitsui Securities Co., and it was naturally impossible for Haneda Hyohei to not know. At this moment, in the operating room, looking at the falling prices on the electronic screen, his face changed and he showed a smile more ugly than crying. The second one he worries about may not appear. Jiuding Securities has not acquired a 33.4% stake. It''s just that he didn''t expect Matsumoto Yu to be so rigid, with such a high proportion of shares, that he would just throw it. If it was him, he would choose to keep it. When the storm passed, he would quietly buy some stocks and increase his shareholding ratio to 33.4%. Then he would slowly go with the Torii family to grind and always find opportunity¡­¡­ and many more! "Matsumoto Yu throws it away, and even said it openly. Doesn''t this affect their clearance?" "Their holdings are much more than mine. A decline in stock prices will only cost them serious losses. He has no reason to do so!" "Is it true that Matsumoto''s liquidation is a fake, and it is the real intention to suppress the stock price and absorb stocks?" Yuhei Haneda narrowed his eyes and continued to analyze this possibility in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. If this is the case, what should I do? Did you expose Matsumoto''s lie and keep Suntory''s stock rising? Or restart the acquisition plan, and now pretend not to find it, but lie in ambush, rush to buy the bottom before Jiuding Securities? After thinking about it for a long time, Hyohei Haneda couldn''t make up his mind. After all, the acquisition of Suntory''s stock was commissioned by Mitsui & Co., and now that the commission is over, he has also failed. Whether to continue the acquisition or not, the key is to see Yosuke Yamaguchi of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. If the other party is willing to fight again, then he can still regain the lost face and create a lot of profits for Mitsui Securities. After thinking about it, Hannah Hirohei lost his face with his bewildered subordinates and went straight back to the office. He was going to communicate with Yosuke Yamaguchi on the phone. ... The decline in Suntory¡¯s share price not only affected Hinata Hinata¡¯s heart, but the Torii family was even more affected. Torii Keizo wore a hat and a mask in panic and went straight to the exchange. He watched the stock price falling all the way, and his heart sank, his face under the mask was gloomy. Suntory¡¯s share price today reached its highest point ever-2745.8 yen per share. But it has been plummeting since reaching the peak. Now the stock price has fallen to 2419.5 yen per share within an hour. This is equivalent to the loss of more than 130 billion yen in the market value of Suntory. at this time. "Wow~" "idiot¡­¡­" "Jiuding Securities has hit the market!" There was a local commotion in the exchange, followed by many people whispering, and then there was an uproar, surrounded by curses and roars. Keizo Torii''s pupils shrank suddenly because he saw the stock price fall even more rapidly. Something important must have happened. He immediately sent someone to inquire about the news, and soon learned that it was because a stock of up to 10 million shares had been listed, with a unit price of 2390 yen per share, and the total value of this equity was as high as 23.9 billion yen! And the seller who placed this order is Jiuding Securities! What Matsumoto said in the interview has become a fact, they are really selling stocks. The enemy retreated, but Keizo Torii couldn''t get happy anyhow. Instead, he was in a terrible mood, just like I was dead. He was prepared for the stock price drop, but he never expected it to fall so sharply. Jiuding Securities Co. is not a thing. Is Matsumoto Yurakuko? He actually hit the plate directly, this is going to kill him! Thinking of the pledge terms signed with Wells Fargo Bank twice, Torii Keizo felt frightened, his **** was on fire, leaving an assistant staring at the stock price, and he hurriedly left the exchange. He must quickly go back to discuss the plan, and at the same time have a relationship with Maruyama Shun La! ... Everyone will rotate the same when the earth is missing. Without the stock market, Keizo Torii witnessed that Suntory¡¯s stock price fell as it should. Although there are still many heads of organizations that have thought of going with Haneda Yohei, there are still few organizations that have the courage and the ability to take risks. If the tens of millions of shares sold by Jiuding Securities are not eliminated, don''t want Suntory''s stock price to stop. Many investment institutions just stretched out their tentacles and then retracted again, choosing to continue to wait and see. Therefore, when the market was closed in the afternoon, Suntory''s stock price was fixed at 1989.3 yen per share. The biggest drop of the day was as high as 27.6%! The stock price of Suntory Co., Ltd. which has risen over many days will evaporate in less than a day! And anyone with a discerning eye can see that the stock price of Suntory will continue to fall tomorrow! ... "Okay, Mr. Torii, please rest assured, I am still very optimistic about your company. The stock price decline is only a temporary plunge." "I personally think that it is very likely that Jiuding Securities Company deliberately influenced it. The purpose is to cause market panic and facilitate low-price bargain hunting to buy stocks. Although most of them are smart people, it is now obvious that many people are fools. It has been affected to sell stocks." "I think they will definitely buy at the bottom when the stock price drops to a trough and increase their shareholding. By then, the stock price will definitely rise back. We are very relieved." "On the contrary, I suggest you be more prepared. If Jiuding Securities Company really bought so many stocks and entered the company strongly, you have to figure out a way to deal with it..." "Patter!" After hanging up the phone Maruyama Jun showed a touch of mockery, and then his eyes were full of admiration and emotion. Although he followed the orders of the parent company, he did not know what kind of cooperation was behind this. But he could see it. The people who made all these plans behind the scenes are really too clever, one after another, and true and false, and now they have played their opponents in their hands. Mitsui Securities Company didn''t know what the outcome would be, but he could already predict the fate of the Torii family. As a big guy, Keizo Torii must have never slept peacefully in recent times. It''s really pitiful, ha ha! "I just don''t know how much Keizo Torii will hate me in the end..." Toshi Maruyama said to himself, then smiled and shook his head, unexpectedly a feeling of expectation rose in his heart... v3 Chapter 1253: Please hold your hands up Latest URL: Chapter 1253, please raise your hand "Maruyama''s words can''t be trusted. Who knows if he is lying to us? To be honest, he also has competitors. If his competitors are going to use this opportunity to cause trouble for him, the mother of Wells Fargo will finally Will the company intervene?" "Now that the stock price has fallen to this level, it will continue to fall in the future. The value of our pledges has shrunk seriously, and the initiative has been held by Wells Fargo. Will it be unwise for us to pin our hopes on Wells Fargo?" "..." "Do we have other better options?" In the Torii Family Chamber, everyone discussed and expressed different opinions. They were very proficient in raising questions, but when Torii Keizo quietly said these words, the chamber was quiet for a moment. Everyone looked at each other, and each made a lonely sigh. Yeah, is there a better choice now? It''s useless to say anything if you don''t have enough money in your hand! "I agree!" "I have no opinion." "I have no objection..." ... When one person took the lead in expressing his position, others followed him. They were not at all the energy they had when arguing just now. They were all like eggplants beaten by frost. "Don''t relax, the news that should be spread must be spread, and we cannot allow the stock price to fall wanton." "It can''t be cheaper for Jiuding Securities." "In addition, we have to make a response plan. If Jiuding Securities finally enters the company, how should we treat it? Let''s discuss it together..." ... The Torii family is still thinking about causing some minor problems for Jiuding Securities. However, after Haneda Yosuke discussed with Yamaguchi Yosuke, Yamaguchi Yosuke was still ready to fight again, applied for funds from the company, and prepared to "attack Pearl Harbor" when that time comes. In order to reduce the cost of bargaining, Mitsui Securities decided to allow the stock price to plummet, but secretly tightened the string. All traders are watching the trend of the stock price, with all funds in place, ready to rush into the stock market at any time. 1958.7 yen per share. ... 1829.4 yen per share. ... 1688.6 yen per share. ... 1437.2 yen per share. In the next two days, Suntory¡¯s stock price continued to fall. Even if the Torii family deliberately spread the news, it only caused some waves in the downward trend, but it could not stop the general trend. The Torii family breathed a sigh of relief after taking two days off on the weekend. But just after the market opened on Monday, Keizo Torii, who was already in a bad mood, received a call from Toshi Maruyama. "Torii-kun, I''m really sorry. The parent company has interfered and asked me to carry out risk management and control immediately. I''m really sorry. Please fill in the collateral as soon as possible. You have half a month to prepare..." "Maruyama-kun, didn''t you mean..." "Dudududu..." When Keizo Torii was panicked and tried to restore it with words, there were busy sounds in the receiver. Jun Maruyama has already hung up the phone, this is to give him a notice, making it clear that he will not be given any chance! "Snapped!" "idiot!" Keizo Torii was frightened and threw the microphone to the ground while letting out a roar. "Tuk Tuk!" "President, are you okay?" At this time, the employees outside were startled by the voice in the president''s office and hurriedly knocked on the door and asked with concern. "It''s okay, don''t come in!" Keizo Torii yelled angrily, scared the employee at the door hurriedly withdrew his hands, and quickly left this place of right and wrong. After Keizo Torii was interrupted inside the house, he didn''t have the intention to get angry anymore. He was so scared that his face was pale, and he was sitting on a chair, his lips shaking constantly. "It''s over, this time is really over, Wells Fargo Bank was not at ease from the beginning..." "How to do how to do¡­¡­" Thinking of the current stock price, Keizo Torii felt helpless. The collateral for the two loans totaled 67.4 million shares. According to the stock price after the opening today, it has fallen below 1,400 yen per share. Even if calculated at 1,400 yen, these 67.4 million shares are worth 94.36 billion yen. But twice before and after, he had a total mortgage loan of 155 billion yen. The second mortgage is still a more stringent eight-tier mortgage rate than the first. Taking this into account, the value gap of the mortgage is even greater, reaching 65 billion yen. And Suntory''s stock price is still falling further! Where can he get so much money now? He only has 1.2 billion yen left over from the last purchase of the equity. If the contract is ended early and the money is paid directly, then there will be two more times that add up to 17.9 billion yen in interest and they will also get... In addition, the family has 72.88 million unsecured shares left. According to the current stock price, it is only worth about 100 billion yen, and it will shrink further in the future. If these stocks are now used to supplement the collateral, then it is very likely that in the end, they will fall into insolvency and bankruptcy. When the time comes, life and death will be uncontrollable, all within the thought of Wells Fargo... At this moment, Keizo Torii felt unspeakable regret. If time goes back to the beginning and let him make a choice, he will never take the risk, but will choose to give up resistance directly and let Suntory be taken over by others. Unfortunately, it''s too late to regret! Being forced by Wells Fargo Bank to make debts, Torii not only dared not expose it, but also tried to cover the news for fear that it would leak out. After all, if this kind of news is exposed, it will be extremely bad for Suntory''s stock price. The worse the stock price falls, the greater the pressure on them. Once the stock price falls too hard, the situation will be worse when Wells Fargo assesses that their families are all bankrupt. Now I can hold on for one more day and count as one day, and see what the final result is. When all the senior members of the Torii family fell into this torment, fifteen days passed in a flash... This day is Tuesday. Keizo Torii took the initiative to go to Wells Fargo Bank and came to Maruyama''s office. Seeing Torii Keizo, whose hair is all white, with a withered face, and a humble smile, Toshi Maruyama is full of emotion. The scene of the meeting with Keizo Torii more than half a month ago could not help appearing in his mind. At that time Keizo Torii combed his head, the whole person''s mental head was pretty good, and there was no shortage of the magnanimity that a boss should have. Compared with now, that is a world of difference! But with emotion, he still has to do it. Toshi Maruyama said blankly, "Kun Torii, the time has come for fifteen days. Now Suntory''s share price has fallen to 955.2 yen per share. Your collateral is seriously insufficient, and you have actively defaulted. Up." "You have two choices." "The first is to immediately return the total principal of 155 billion yen before and after the two loans, and 17.9 billion yen in interest, for a total amount of 172.9 billion yen." "The second is to take out shares or other collateral worth 93.87 billion yen." "Otherwise, we have the right to take any measures to protect the interests of our company." Torii Keizo smiled silently. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Our family still has 72.88 million shares in hand. At the current stock price, it is worth less than 70 billion yen." "Maruyama-kun, what else can we take out?" "Ha ha¡­¡­" "Maruyama-kun, UU reading will not mention things in the past. It is useless for me to regret it. I just hope that you and the people behind you can raise your hands!" After speaking with a sad smile, Keizo Torii stood up and bowed deeply to Toshi Maruyama. Toshi Maruyama looked at Torii Keizo expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Torui-kun, I don''t want to say anything about raising your hand. We don''t want to worry about it. I just need to recover the money we should collect." "Since you have breached the contract, in order to avoid risks, we can only transfer the creditor''s rights. You should talk to the real creditor." "Who is the new creditor?" Keizo Torii hurriedly asked, feeling uneasy. "it''s me!" At this moment, a voice sounded abruptly. v3 Chapter 1254: Teach them another lesson Latest website: Torii Keizo turned his head abruptly, followed the prestige, and watched a person walk out of the back compartment. His pupils shrank, and then he laughed miserably again, muttering to himself: "I didn''t lose injustice, I should have thought about it..." "Hehe, you really didn''t lose injustice. The strength gap between us is too great." "If you don''t struggle and obey directly, it is the best result, but unfortunately..." Matsumoto Yu said steadily. Hearing this, Torii Keizo shook his whole body, his face becoming more bitter and ugly. This is also the reason why he has been haggard and suffering in the past half month. He spends every day in anxiety and self-blame, otherwise he will age so quickly. If you didn''t resist at the beginning, you would lose control of the company at best, but the equity is still there, it is like now, life and death are all in the hands of others. He put his posture very low, and pleaded with Matsumoto Yu: "Matsumoto-kun, against you is the biggest mistake I have made in my life. I beg you to raise your hand!" After that, Keizan Torii bowed to the end. Matsumoto Yu was unmoved. He sat down on the sofa and said faintly: "Tori-kun, you still got up. You will only make me feel like you are forcing me." "No, don''t get me wrong!" Upon hearing this, Keizo Torii hurriedly got up, and then sat down at the sign of Matsumoto Yu. "Matsumoto-kun, Torii-kun, talk about it, I have to deal with it beforehand." At this time, Jun Maruyama found an excuse to go out and temporarily left his office to Matsumoto Yu and Torii Keizo. After Toshi Maruyama left, Yu Matsumoto leaned on the sofa and calmly looked at the restless Torii Keizo, and said quietly: "Tori-san, we have signed a bond transfer agreement with Wells Fargo earlier this morning. As long as we will The 172.9 billion yen of funds are transferred to the account designated by Wells Fargo Bank, then the agreement can take effect." "But this is a matter between our company and Wells Fargo. You have breached the contract. There is no room for choice or interference, and you are not qualified to intervene." "Now we are the creditors of your family. The two choices Maruyama-kun just mentioned are the two choices we gave you. Choose one!" Keizo Torii lowered his head and pleaded: "Matsumoto, I am sorry, these two options are beyond our ability. I am willing to hand over the equity of our family and help you take control of the company and lead all the people to leave Suntory. Please let us go." The corner of Matsumoto''s mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Keizo Torii playfully, and said, "Plus the 67.4 million shares pledged, how many stocks do you hold in total?" Keizo Torii dared not hide it, and answered truthfully: "There are a total of 14.28 million shares, which account for 33.4% of the company''s total share capital." "14.28 million shares are worth only 134 billion yen at current stock prices." "The debt relationship between us is 172.9 billion yen." "There is still a gap of nearly 40 billion yen..." "You don''t have enough chips!" Matsumoto looked at Keizo Torii and said. Keizo Torii did not dare to argue how much money he spent. After all, this is the fact now. As long as Matsumoto allows the court to intervene, the consequences will be even more serious. The assets of the entire Torii family, including fixed assets, will be frozen. If you don''t go in and squat, you will end up with the whole family on the streets. Knowing this, Keizo Torii would be so obedient today. "Matsumoto-kun, we still have 1.2 billion yen in cash in our hands, and we will also compensate your company." "We really have nothing else." After speaking, Torii Keizo looked at Yu Matsumoto closely, his eyes full of pleading and expectation. Watching Keizo Torii for a long time, Yucai Matsumoto nodded slowly: "Yes." ... After the negotiation, Matsumoto asked Jun Maruyama for help and directly drafted the contract in Wells Fargo Bank. On the other hand, Keizo Torii used the phone to call Shinichiro Torii, who had been waiting at home for a long time, and asked him to bring the family foundation stamp and relevant equity certificates to Wells Fargo. An hour later, under the witness of the lawyer and Toshi Maruyama, the two parties exchanged contracts and signed. So far, the Torii family has no one-yen interest relationship with Suntory. The 33.4% equity and 1.2 billion yen in cash were acquired by Jiuding Securities, and the debt relationship between the two parties was also released. Seeing the desperate Torii Keizo and others, Matsumoto Yu did not show any mercy. He said indifferently, "Torii-kun, don''t forget to do the rest." "We will cooperate well." Tori Kei''s mouth squirmed and said weakly. "Maruyama-kun, we will transfer the money to your company account this afternoon." Matsumoto Yu looked at Maruyama Jun again and said with a smile. "Yes, Matsumoto-kun, you just need to arrange it." Maruyama said with a smile. "Well, I have something else to do, let''s leave first!" After all, Matsumoto Yu left Wells Fargo Bank accompanied by Toshi Maruyama. Five minutes later, Matsumoto Yu returned to Jiuding Securities Company, came to Xia Yu''s office, and knocked gently on the door. "Come in!" "Boss, the task has been completed. This is all the equity held by the Torii family and the equity transfer agreement." After getting Xia Yu''s approval, Matsumoto Yu entered the office, walked quickly to Xia Yu, and put all the materials on Xia Yu''s desk. "Sit down first!" After letting Matsumoto Yu sit down, Xia Yu picked up the material and looked through it, gradually showing a smile on his face. "Not bad!" "Plus the equity we hold now, it has exceeded 66.7%, right?" Xia Yu sighed, put down things, looked at Matsumoto Yu, and said with a smile. "Yes, we owned 33.56% of the equity before, and then we borrowed 4.7% of the equity in a matchmaking gambling, but we sold 1.56 million shares, plus the 33.4% equity we have acquired now, our current holdings The ratio is 71.29%." "But we still have a large number of shares on sale, and I''ll wait for someone to withdraw it." Matsumoto Yu answered like a few treasures. After speaking, he took the initiative to ask. "Boss, are you going to negotiate with the betting company to buy the equity?" Xia Yu nodded slightly after thinking for a while and said: "Yes, try it tomorrow. If you don''t agree, don''t worry, we have the initiative." "However, we should also pay attention to the fact that 1.56 million shares of the stock we listed were bought. There should be large institutions preparing to enter the market. It is still in the trial stage." "After Mitsui Securities visited us more than half a month ago, there was no movement. There must be demons in the abnormal situation, and it is probably not giving up." "We have no baggage. If we can''t talk about gambling for the time being, we will go to the stock market to test it and see if it is them. If so, teach them a lesson." "Yes!" ... When the market was closing in the morning, Matsumoto asked him to withdraw his huge selling order. This situation was immediately discovered by the employees of Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. who were watching the stocks closely, and they immediately reported to the top. Haneda Hyouhei was shocked and immediately summoned his subordinates to make arrangements, and at the same time made a call with Yamaguchi Yosuke. After the opening in the afternoon, Mitsui Securities'' big move hit. Suntory¡¯s share price fell by 2 yen per share at the opening of the afternoon, and Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. immediately consumed the sell order and placed the buy order in batches. Some institutions saw someone take over and immediately placed an order to sell, and they were all taken in by Mitsui Securities. This situation quickly spread to Matsumoto¡¯s ears He left what was on hand and went directly to the operation room. After seeing the transaction, he gave a cold snort, knowing that Mitsui Securities Co. was really thief. Immortal. He waved his hand and immediately ordered: "Bring up the price to me, don''t let the other party pick it up!" "Yes!" A group of subordinates responded in unison, and then a series of buying orders were hung out at a tiered price. On the other side, Hinata Hinata of Mitsui Securities Co. was very annoyed, but he could only order to follow up and grab the money. The war reignited, and Suntory¡¯s stock price began to rise again... The error-free chapters of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will continue to be updated in the hand-made bar. There are no advertisements in the site. Please also collect and recommend the hand-made! Like the most powerful hero of rebirth, please collect it: () The most powerful hero of rebirth, play it and update the fastest. v3 Chapter 1255: Sniper start The latest website: With absolute controlling rights, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has taken a firm seat in Diaoyutai. After pushing Mitsui Securities Co. out, Matsumoto''s only idea was to teach Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. to spend a greater price to acquire stocks. Anyway, according to Suntory¡¯s strategy, Suntory will not be privatized. Before the action, Suntory¡¯s stock price was the normal stock price. Even if the stock price is raised again now, the company¡¯s stock price will remain at the press conference in a few days. Will plunge back. Unless Mitsui Securities Co. is willing to keep the funds trapped, it will have to admit it and leave the market. Simply raising the price, the operation couldn''t be easier, Matsumoto Yu directly handed over to his subordinates to control, and he devoted his energy to other aspects. For example, the task arranged by the previous boss Xia Yu, the acquisition of six companies including Leading Electric Company, Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Nisshin Steel Co., Sanyo Special Steel Co., and Tokyo Steel Co., as well as the attack on Nippon Steel task! The acquisition of Nisshin Steel Corporation, Sanyo Special Steel Corporation and Tokyo Steel Corporation, which was proposed later, is still a more urgent task. To this end, Matsumoto used to track and schedule these tasks almost daily and urge employees to speed up the acquisition process. After nearly a month of action, the entire mission has achieved great results. The first is the three major industrial manufacturing companies, of which the unlisted leading motor company and the island country electric production company have been income under the command. The leading electric company, Takizaki Takehikari, has a very stable operation. Not only does it have no loans, it also has relatively few financing on the road to growth, so the equity is relatively concentrated. However, after a series of hard work, he eventually held a 49.5% stake in the leading electric company and became the largest shareholder surpassing Takemitsu Takizaki. Of the 60.5% equity, 45.5% of the equity was acquired from other shareholders, and the other 15% equity was obtained after financing the leading electric company. The two major steps before and after cost a total of 7.34 billion yen. Compared with the leading electric company, the acquisition of the island country power company is more smooth. Yongshou Shigeobu is a grass-roots background, so in the past ten years, the island power company can only cater to capital in order to quickly grow the company. Since its establishment, the island state power company has accepted investment, and then has experienced three financing expansions, and for development, the company also borrowed from a number of banks, the island country power company''s liabilities are 2.58 billion yen. Because of the constraints of shareholders and the pressure of debts, the operation of the island company is much more difficult than that of the leading electric company. Therefore, the mentality of Yongshou Shigeobu is also different from that of Takemitsu Takizaki. For example, in the control of the company, Yongshou Shigexin''s shareholding has long been less than 50%. Therefore, the acquisition of the island country electric production company went quite smoothly. The purpose of investors is to make money, so Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. keeps increasing prices and takes over all the equity of other shareholders. Yongshou Shigenobu did not contravene the attached large consortium, so he also agreed to financing. In the end, there are two shareholders left in the island state power production company, namely, Yongshou Shigexin holding 26.2% and Jiuding Securities holding 73.8%. For this reason, Jiuding Securities has spent a total of 7.88 billion yen. In addition to these two unlisted companies, the listed company of Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. still only holds 5.1% of the shares, but the actual shareholding ratio has reached 35.76%, far exceeding the original 12.1% of Toyota Motor¡¯s largest shareholder and 11.4% of the Ogawa family, the second largest shareholder. Then there are four companies in the steel sector. Acquisition of a 46.5% stake in Sanyo Special Steel Co., Ltd. at a cost of 22.75 billion yen. Acquired a 52.4% stake in Tokyo Steel Corporation at a cost of 32.93 billion yen. Only the acquisition of Nisshin Steel, which is part of the Nippon Steel Group and the largest in size, cost 30.76 billion yen and only acquired a 29.7% stake. It is not that the staff is not working hard enough, but that Nippon Steel is no better than the other two steel companies. It has a backing! Backed by Nippon Steel, which is the core pillar of the Mitsui Consortium, and its product sales are also channeled by Mitsui & Co., one of the top ten trading companies, the company¡¯s prospects and business risks are different, and the mentality of shareholders is naturally different, making acquisitions more difficult. . Without arousing Nippon Steel''s vigilance, it is not easy to acquire so many shares. Finally, Nippon Steel, the giant with a market capitalization of 1,636.8 billion yen, entered the market with a ten-fold leveraged capital allocation of Jiuding Securities. It cost 139.5 billion yen and bought 204.48 million shares, accounting for the company¡¯s total share capital. 8.52%. Although this ratio is still a little low, if it is announced, it will be enough to become Nippon Steel''s largest shareholder. If you launch an attack, you already have a certain amount of power. All these results were presented to Xia Yu by Matsumoto Yu. "The results of the leading electric company and the island country electric production company are very good. It is enough to do a good job of financial supervision, and you can let Takizaki Takemitsu and Nagamo Shigeobu operate." "The future of Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has great potential. It can continue to acquire shares. Even if it is exposed, it does not matter. At that time, it will take advantage of the trend to gain a greater voice." "Sanyo Special Steel Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Steel Co., Ltd. are further acquired. Our ultimate goal is to delist these two companies and privatize them." "The official offensive against Nippon Steel is a bit louder, attracting all the attention, and seizing the opportunity to secretly acquire the equity of Nisshin Steel Corporation, and also facilitate the acquisition of Sanyo Special Steel Corporation and Tokyo Steel Corporation. The money saved is still It has to be saved." "As for Suntory, you just need to handle it well, so that Mitsui Securities will remember." After seeing the results, Xia Yu decisively issued a series of orders. Matsumoto recorded quickly, and kept nodding subconsciously. "Boss, I understand, I promise to complete the task!" Matsumoto straightened his waist solemnly and responded loudly. "Well, go!" Xia Yu nodded slightly, dismissed Matsumoto Yu, and continued to conceive. ... Jiuding Securities Company''s execution power is very strong. Let¡¯s talk about Matsumoto Yu, taking Xia Yu¡¯s order, and after going back to think it through, he immediately convened personnel to conduct detailed discussions and negotiated a detailed and comprehensive plan of action. Early the next morning, as soon as the stock market opened, a large amount of money poured into the stock market and began to buy Nippon Steel stocks. Because of the national leading steel stocks Nippon Steel''s P/E ratio is very high. However, after all, the entire steel industry in the island country is a sluggish industry, so in the assessment of major institutions, Nippon Steel''s stock appreciation potential is not high. Funds invested in this stock can barely maintain its value, but it is impossible to hope for large profits. Therefore, when Jiuding Securities continued to buy stocks to urge Nippon Steel''s stock price to rise, some institutions and stockholders decisively sold their holdings. A few days are down until the market is closed on Friday afternoon. Jiuding Securities once again consumed 55.72 billion yen and bought 80.64 million shares. Nippon Steel¡¯s share price also rose from 682.2 yen per share to 702.6 yen per share within a few days. Although the increase was not large, the market value of Nippon Steel increased by nearly 49 billion yen due to its large volume. The trading volume and turnover rate remained high for several days, which finally aroused the vigilance of the Nippon Steel Securities Department... v3 Chapter 1256: Close the net Latest URL: "I see, you can go down first." Yoshio Ishida sent his subordinates away with a calm face, looked down at the company''s stock price monitoring report submitted by his subordinates, and slowly frowned. He is the secretary of the board of directors and the head of Nippon Steel Securities. His main job is to monitor the company¡¯s stock information, communicate with securities regulatory authorities and exchanges, information disclosure, maintenance of investor relations, arrangements for the board of directors and shareholder meetings, meeting minutes, etc. Wait. The monitoring report in his hand, the transaction volume, transaction value, and turnover rate data on it, he could see at a glance that it was abnormal. The recent data increase is too obvious, especially in recent days, it is called a rapid! If it is only one or two days occasionally, it is inevitable that large institutions will buy or sell. But if this happens for a few days in a row, then you have to pay attention. More importantly, the main source of purchase was the fierce Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. some time ago, so he had to take a long time. "You have to report this to the president as soon as possible. Although the company''s market value is very high, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be targeted maliciously..." Thinking of this, Ishida Yoshio couldn''t sit still, and went straight to the president Ichiro Fujiwara''s office with the report. ... During the two days of the weekend, although the market was closed, the capital market was undercurrent. Many institutions have learned that Jiuding Securities is planning to buy shares of Nippon Steel Corporation on a large scale, but the intention is unknown. As for where the news came from, no one knows yet. But this does not prevent the management of these institutions from raising strange thoughts. Two days passed, and it was Monday in a blink of an eye. After the stock market opened, Nippon Steel''s stock price continued to strengthen, and the number of large and small buy orders was more than doubled last week. The water is getting muddy! But this was exactly what Matsumoto wanted, and muddy water was more beneficial to his actions. Just as he continued to arrange for his subordinates to invest money in buying Nippon Steel''s stock. In the clash on Monday morning, Suntory¡¯s share price rose to 1,688.4 yen per share due to the ¡°fierce¡± competition, but the rise was relatively slow. After understanding, Matsumoto made a judgment. First, Mitsui Securities Co. had consumed more than half of its funds. Second, there were very few circulating shares in the stock market, which put Mitsui Securities Co. in a dilemma. Compassionate, he intends to relieve Haneda''s worries and help him make choices as soon as possible. The fish has come in, it''s time to close the net! He made a phone call to Suntory Company, Keizo Torii''s office... After a short break at noon, the stock market opened again in the afternoon. Haneda Yohei came to the operation room, with a full work enthusiasm and smile, inspected the work, but the moment he left the operation room, his face was pulled down. After returning to his office, Haneda Yohei held a pen and paper by himself, and after doing some calculations, his brow frowned. The situation is not ideal! From the beginning of the bargaining day that day, a total of 38.5 billion yen has been spent to acquire 25.7 million shares, raising the shareholding ratio to 25.81%. But now the stock price has hit 1,700 yen per share. Not only was the consumption of funds beyond his control, but even the stock trading volume exceeded his expectations. At the current rate of stock purchases, he really cannot calculate how long it will take to acquire the equity to the 33.4% line. Thinking of this, his face turned ugly blue. This time, it seemed that he was unable to complete the acquisition task, but Yosuke Yamaguchi had already given up. It was he who took the initiative to find the door, confidently saying that there is hope of success. The result is now again. He completely moved a rock and hit himself in the foot, embarrassing himself! "What to do, I have to find a way to break the game, otherwise I won''t be able to look up..." "Bump! Bump!" Just when Haneda was feeling irritable, he suddenly remembered the rapid knock on the door, which made Haneda, who was already feeling irritable, aroused in his heart. "Come in, what''s the matter?" He yelled at the door. The people outside seemed to be frightened and stopped knocking on the door, but after a few seconds, the door opened, and the subordinate walked in with a panic expression, and opened his mouth and said, "President Haneda, something has happened, something has happened!" Hyouhei Haneda snorted in his heart, and he didn''t care about the shipment. He said in a hurry, frowning and asking, "What''s wrong? What''s wrong?" "President Haneda, Suntory has held a press conference." The subordinate hurriedly replied. "Press conference?" "What was announced?" Haneda''s bad premonition grew stronger. "At the press conference, Matsumoto Yu of Jiuding Securities was also present, and Keizo Torii announced on the spot that the Torii family had transferred all equity to Jiuding Securities and fully withdrew from Suntory." "And Yu Matsumoto also announced that it has become the absolute controlling shareholder of Suntory, and will complete the transfer of all rights to Suntory within the next half month with the cooperation of the Torii family." After the subordinate finished speaking, he lowered his head nervously, not daring to look at Haneda Yohei. "what?" "The absolute controlling shareholder?" "Is Keizo Torii a pig? How could he transfer the equity?" Hyohei Haneda was stunned. He couldn''t believe what his subordinates said. He raised several questions on his face. And he got off his seat, walked in front of his subordinates, grabbed his collar and stared at him, as if to confirm that what he said was not true. "President Haneda, I don''t know why, but these are the contents of the press conference. Torii Keizo personally admitted." When the subordinates said this, their voices trembled. He rarely saw Haneda Hyoupei getting angry, and suddenly facing him alone, he had to be nervous and afraid. "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the rapid ringing of the phone rescued him. Haneda Hyouhei took a deep breath and connected to the phone. When he heard the voice on the other end of the phone, his face first became ugly, then more and more shocked, until his eyes became dull. "Haneda-kun! Haneda-kun..." At this time, the increasing volume in the earpiece pulled Haneda''s thoughts back, and he kept nodding his head to show that he understood. After hanging up the phone, he directly changed to investigate the situation, while he himself sat in a chair without moving, his brain was like a paste. Jiuding Securities may know that Mitsui Securities will investigate the situation. In order to facilitate their investigation, Matsumoto Yu ordered someone to go to the exchange to disclose the shareholding after attending the news conference of Suntory. The 71.29% shareholding ratio shocked the entire capital market and shocked the staff of Mitsui Securities. After this data was brought back to the company and reported to Haneda Yohei, Haneda Yohei sent all his subordinates away, went to the operation room and then returned to the office again. He collapsed in a chair with bitterness and regret on his face. "Lost..." "Lost completely..." It cost him more than 200 billion yen and it cost him a lot of hard work, but he got back such a painful result. He had just watched it, and Suntory''s stock price was plummeting. Before he left the operating room, the stock price had fallen to 1,425 yen per share, and the decline was still rapid. Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. now holds more than 100 million shares, and now it is completely possible to announce that it is temporarily locked up. It is not only difficult, but also large losses, to completely liquidate and escape. According to the current situation, the loss is at least 100 billion yen! This will be a huge blow to him, whether in terms of his own confidence or prestige! "Ring Ling Ling..." At this moment, the annoying phone ring rang like a reminder. Looking at the caller number on it (the landline had a caller ID function in 1956), Hyohei Haneda felt that the microphone in his hand was so heavy that he could not lift it up. v3 Chapter 1257: Bring a big victory to start the war again The latest website: It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided! After all, we still have to face what we should face, we can¡¯t hide ourselves... Hyohei Haneda took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He picked up the receiver, forced a smile and greeted, "Yamaguchi-kun..." "I understand, I will immediately contact Matsumoto Yu and try my best to stop the loss..." After hanging up the phone, Haneda Yupei''s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and when he thought of what to do next, he felt great resistance. Yamaguchi Yosuke''s meaning is very clear. Mitsui & Co. completely abandoned the acquisition and asked him to go to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. to sell the shares. The reason is also very simple. Under the current circumstances, if more than 100 million shares are sold from the stock market, it will not only take a long time, but as more and more shares are outstanding, the stock price will also become lower and lower, unless Jiuding Securities and Good news from Suntory. But the latter situation is difficult to happen, and it is impossible in a short time. With the comprehensive adjustment of Suntory''s management, the company''s turmoil is inevitable. They don''t have time to wait and don''t want to pin their hopes on Jiuding Securities. The company delayed the development of its own industry. Therefore, Mitsui & Co. only wants to recover the funds as soon as possible and fully enter the alcohol market, taking advantage of the turmoil of Suntory to see if it can grab a part of the market. Jiuding Securities and Suntory are direct enemies. One more thing, if these shares are really transferred to Jiuding Securities, they can consume a large amount of their funds, so that Suntory will receive less financial support. From the overall perspective, it is more beneficial to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Although he does not want to visit Matsumoto Yu as a loser, Mitsui & Co. has suffered heavy losses after two consecutive failures. His reputation will definitely not be good. If he does not save one or two, it will have a huge impact on his career. , So Hyohei Haneda can only try his best to be positive and go to Jiuding Securities... The reception room of Jiuding Securities Company. Haneda Hyouhei felt that Matsumoto''s smile was very dazzling, but he could only endure it and said with a smile: "Matsumoto-kun, good morning!" "Hello Haneda!" "I wonder if you are here this time, what''s the matter?" Matsumoto responded with a smile, and then asked with a puzzled look. Haneda Masahiro shook his face and continued to smile: "The first one is to congratulate your company on another excellent investment." "Thank you!" Matsumoto smiled and thanked, and continued to watch Haneda Yohei perform. "The future of Suntory is very bright. Our company has always been very optimistic, but we are still not as good as you. Therefore, after careful consideration, we believe that instead of holding the equity and not letting go, it is better to make friends with you and transfer the equity to your company. Help you complete the overall control of Suntory." When Haneda finished speaking, the smile on his face remained, but his eyes were fixed on Matsumoto Yu, but a heart was raised in his throat. Matsumoto''s smile became inexplicable, and after a long time of pretending to meditate, he said to Haneda Yohei: "Kun Haneda, we have no plans to privatize. After all, we already have absolute controlling rights. Suntory can fully implement our will and Strategy, privatization or not is dispensable." Hyohei Haneda''s smile became stiff, and he chuckled, "Is that so? It seems that my message is wrong. I thought that your company was going to privatize Suntory!" Matsumoto smiled: "There are too many rumors in the capital market, I understand." Haneda Hyouhei was choking uncomfortably, holding a fire in his heart but couldn''t vent it. You understand what is meant by it. Isn''t it mocking them that they can''t even tell the truth? The grudging smile on Haneda''s face disappeared. At this moment, Matsumoto Yu suddenly said: "But your proposal also inspired me. Although the equity your company holds is dispensable for us, as long as the price is right, it is not impossible to consider." Haneda suppressed the urge to leave, squeezed out a smile again, and asked, "Matsumoto-kun, you might as well ask for a price. If we can reach a cooperation, of course it is the best. If the price is not suitable, then there is no way." Matsumoto thought for a while and offered a price: "800 yen per share, I can take over all of it." As soon as this price came out, Hinata Haneda''s face changed suddenly. The assistant he brought with him said directly: "Matsumoto-kun, your price is too insincere." "It can even be said to be an insulting price!" "Although Suntory''s stock price is falling, it is still around 1,400 yen. At the beginning, Suntory''s stock price was 940 yen per share." "Your company must be optimistic about the potential of Suntory, so it will spend such a large price to acquire it. No matter how much Suntory''s share price drops, it will not fall below 940 yen per share. We will slowly clear the position ourselves. Sell ??for 800 yen per share." "If our stocks of more than 100 million shares are circulated to the market on a large scale, we will certainly lose some, but your company will be the most affected?" Yohei Haneda let his subordinates say so directly, keeping his eyes fixed on Matsumoto Yu''s face, seeming to want to see through his psychological changes. But Matsumoto didn¡¯t take this set of threats at all, and directly ignored Haneda¡¯s subordinates, and stared at Haneda with a blank face: ¡°Kun Haneda, we don¡¯t care if Suntory¡¯s stock price rises or falls. Anyway, we have enough. Capital, as for the future of Suntory, we are not sure. It is possible that the stock will rise immediately, or it may be in a trough for a year or two." "Now that the competition in the alcohol market is so fierce, I personally think that Suntory may lose money in the future. In order to strengthen its competitiveness, it is difficult to say whether the profit will be reinvested in the next few years instead of stock dividends. Hard to say." "We don''t worry about whether the external comments are good or bad. After all, we are an absolute controlling shareholder. As long as we don''t violate the law, no one can interfere, can we?" At the end, Matsumoto gave Yohei Haneda a deep look. Feeling the meaning contained in the eyes, Haneda couldn''t help clenching his fists. This is a naked threat! He wanted to get angry, but he could only endure not turning his face. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is the absolute controlling shareholder of Suntory and has absolute rights. Matsumoto can do what he says, and if he wants to kill him, he can kill him. Hyohei Haneda can think of many legal tricks himself. Although he guessed that Matsumoto Yu was mostly frightening him, he didn''t dare to really verify in person whether Matsumoto Yu really dared to do so. He can''t afford it! Can''t afford to bet! Mitsui & Co. will certainly not be willing to abandon its wine market strategy and use the capital market as the main support force to assist Suntory. He has no choice... However, it is absolutely impossible for him to sell for 800 yen per share. He cannot afford to lose this person, and Mitsui & Co. will never agree! He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Matsumoto-kun, we are willing to admit defeat." "But the price of 800 yen per share is absolutely impossible." "Our company holds 108.4 million shares. We bought this stock at an average price of 2,091 yen per share." "If you really want it, then we are willing to transfer all 1,200 yen." Matsumoto Yu didn''t ridicule and humiliate him anymore, and immediately asked: "The price is not negotiable." "When we needed equity before, I only offered 1,000 yen per share. Now it can only be lower, not higher. There is no need to talk about 1,200 yen." "Before, Suntory''s stock price was around 940 yen per share. If more than 100 million shares are released to the market at one time, the stock price will definitely fall below 850 yen." "The price of 850 yen is just right, and it saves your time and energy, and of course, there is also the cost of capital." "850 yen is too low..." Haneda Yohei argued for it. ... Two people, one intends to buy, and the other is not to sell. Although negotiations are fierce, they have been going on. In the end, Matsumoto killed the price of 920 yen per share, no matter what Haneda Yohei said. Yohei Haneda could only use an excuse to report back and suspend the negotiations. After returning, he reported the situation to Yosuke Yamaguchi of Mitsui & Co., and finally Mitsui & Co. agreed. The next day, Haneda Hyohei came to Jiuding Securities Company again, and signed the equity transfer agreement with humiliation. The 18.4 million shares held by Mitsui Securities Co., which accounted for 25.81% of the company''s total share capital, were transferred to Jiuding Securities for a total price of 99.73 billion yen. In order to acquire so many shares, Mitsui Securities invested 226.72 billion yen around. Without calculating the cost of manpower, capital use, and hidden losses, the direct loss alone is as high as 126.99 billion yen. This loss is enough to nail Haneda Hinata on the shame of Mitsui Securities! Although Haneda Hyouhei tried to hide the shameful news, after Suntory announced the privatization and delisting the next day, the news of Mitsui Securities'' complete failure spread. Matsumoto Yu intends to help the friends who invested a large amount of money to short Mitsui Securities and Mitsui & Co. ~ www.novelhall.com ~ took the initiative to order key details, and Mitsui Securities and Mitsui & Co.''s combined losses of more than 100 billion yen. This caused a violent shock in the capital market. The stock prices of Mitsui Securities Co. and Mitsui & Co. fell in response, and many investors rushed to sell these two stocks. While Mitsui Securities¡¯ reputation suffered a huge blow, Jiuding Securities gained a huge halo by stepping on Mitsui Securities, and its reputation rose sharply. Yu Matsumoto announced in a high-profile manner that a number of private equity funds will be opened in a week, and investors are welcome to subscribe. For a time, public opinion was boiling, many investors were ready to move, and many of them directly took action to consult the fund situation at the headquarters of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. Island Branch. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was so crowded that financial institutions in the same region were jealous. Just when many people thought that Jiuding Securities Company would be busy raising funds. However, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., with the momentum of a big victory, once again beat the drums of war and blew the horn of war to the giant Nippon Steel... v3 Chapter 1258: A seemingly safe situation The latest website: "His style is too tough..." The Sumitomo family, Sumitomo Yasuke expressed sincere emotion. To be honest, he was shocked by Jiuding Securities Company and Xia Yu who was behind the scenes. Tiangong Automobile Group was jointly blocked by the island country¡¯s steel industry. They analyzed what choices Xia Yu would make, but they did not expect that Xia Yu would dare to directly acquire the strongest Nippon Steel. The confidence and financial resources behind this behavior convinced him. And Xia Yu''s determination and courage also made him admire. This was just a time when Mitsui Securities was beaten strongly to win a large company like Suntory, and it also caused Mitsui Securities and Mitsui & Co. to lose 100 billion yen. They continued to clashed with the Mitsui Consortium non-stop. Sumitomo Yasuke asked himself that he could not do such a thing. This is to provoke the Mitsui consortium again and again, and greet the Mitsui consortium fiercely. "His behavior really exceeded our expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense." "After all, no matter how much he has achieved, he is a young man in his twenties after all. He is radical and it makes sense to choose this way of breaking the game." Shinichi Sumitomo put down his teacup and muttered to himself. "But as his opponent, you have to be careful. He is aggressive, but he has always been successful. This is the most terrifying!" Sumitomo Yasuke said quietly: "Father, we are also his competitors. In the alcohol market, Asahi Beer, which belongs to our consortium, is the largest market occupant. After Suntory is controlled by him, I don''t know how he will manage it." Sumitomo Shinichi smiled and said: "Competition is inevitable. Asahi Beer¡¯s market share is more than double that of Suntory, and Kirin Beer¡¯s market share has more than doubled that of Suntory. Competitiveness is enough. Suntory is facing the greatest pressure. We don¡¯t need to be nervous.¡± "The structure of the liquor market is not so easy to change!" "Without the Torii family with extensive experience, Suntory can maintain a normal level even if his acquisition is successful." "What''s more, Xia Yu''s strength is strong, but he has repeatedly targeted the Mitsui Consortium. The Mitsui Consortium is not that easy to bully. Most of his energy will definitely be taken away." "Next, we will take a good look at their struggle and take this opportunity to intuitively understand the strength of the two sides." Sumitomo Yasuke nodded, showing a relaxed smile: "The other companies should be watching." "It must be, haha..." Sumitomo Shinichi smiled and said. At this moment, Sumitomo Kumiko just came down from the stairs and heard the laughter of father and grandpa. She asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, Dad, are you talking about something happy?" "Kumiko, come here, you should be interested." Shinichi Sumitomo smiled kindly and greeted his granddaughter over. Sumitomo Kumiko came over obediently, and sat beside him at the sign of his grandfather. "Kumiko, I just talked to your friend Xia Yu with your father, and he has done another big thing..." Sumitomo Kumiko''s eyelashes trembled lightly, and her thoughts were immersed in what the grandfather was telling, and her heart unconsciously fluctuated with the ups and downs of the plot. ... "Ishida-kun, non-consortium shareholders, what is their attitude?" At the headquarters of Nippon Steel Corporation, President Ichiro Fujiwara called to the secretary-general of the board of directors and head of the securities department Yoshio Ishida to ask about the situation of shareholders. As the overlord of industrial raw materials within the Mitsui Consortium, Nippon Steel has cross-shareholdings with Toyota Motor, Toshiba, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries and other companies within the consortium. These shareholders do not have to worry at all and can fully implement the "Futaki Association". will. What really worries Fujiwara Ichiro is those non-Mitsui consortium shareholders. Although Nippon Steel is the core of the Mitsui Consortium, because of its complicated history, Nippon Steel is not only part of the Mitsui Consortium. The reason why I joined the Mitsui Consortium camp alone is only because the Mitsui Consortium has the most energy. The predecessor of Nippon Steel was the government-run Yawata Steel Works built in 1897. In February 1934, the government-run Yawata Steel Works and private Lunsai Steel, Kamaishi Mine, Fuji Steel, Toyo Steel, and Mitsubishi Six companies merged with Steel and Kyushu Steel. In 1950, under the intervention of the United States, it was split again into two steel companies, Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel, and Nippon Steel Shipping Company and Harima Refractory Company. Until March 1970, Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel merged again, giving birth to Niijima Steel, or Nippon Steel for short, which is the current company. For now, based on Nippon Steel¡¯s shareholder list, the shareholders of the Mitsui Consortium¡¯s total shareholding is 34.9%, far exceeding the 9.5% of the second Mitsubishi consortium. Next is the Fuji Consortium 7.4%. The Sumitomo Foundation, represented by Sumitomo Metal Industries as its main shareholder, is 5.3%. 4.7% of the first advises the bank consortium. There is also 4.1% of the Sanhe Consortium. The remaining 34.1% of the equity is very scattered. There are financial investment institutions, retail investors, and original shareholders of steel companies that have merged in the past. Anyway, these equity seems to be a lot, but these shareholders are completely scattered and cannot be gathered at all. There is no threat to the Mitsui Consortium¡¯s rule of Nippon Steel. As for the other five consortia, they will not unite against the Mitsui consortium at all, because Nippon Steel¡¯s equity structure is actually a microcosm of the six consortia. The six major consortia have long infiltrated each other, so in a single company or several companies, multiple consortia will not unite at all, unless it is said that the five major consortia strangulate a consortium, it will be possible. But this kind of assumption is impossible, because it is impossible to be concentric, and the news is absolutely invisible and not enforceable. However, the fact that the five major consortia cannot unite does not mean that shareholders of their faction will not choose to transfer their shares. For example, among the ten largest shareholders of Nippon Steel, insurance companies alone account for three, such as Island Life Insurance, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance, Tokyo Marine and Fire Insurance, etc., they have money themselves, and they hold Nippon Steel shares even more. Most of them are to share investment risks and keep funds in value. Therefore, as long as the money is enough, the transfer of equity is a simple matter for non-Mitsui Consortium shareholders. It is these shareholders that Fujiwara is worried about. The spread of equity cannot threaten the control of the Mitsui Consortium. However, once there is a risk of large-scale concentration of equity, it is necessary to take immediate measures to avoid strong infiltration of UU Reading . Ishida Yoshio kept reporting the situation: "President, I have already visited the representatives of the other five executive committees. The Iwasaki family and the Ayukawa family have a clear attitude. They recognize our business methods and will not let The following company transfers equity." "Sumitomo, Quanyin and Sanhe have a rather perfunctory attitude." "As for some other partners, I have called one by one, and they all expressed their support for us. As for the authenticity or not, it needs further verification." "I have counted them." "As long as the shareholders of the Mitsubishi Consortium and Fuji Consortium are willing to support us, then our three-party shareholding ratio will exceed 50%. It is safe. The acquisition of Jiuding Securities will definitely fail!" "Boom boom boom..." After listening to Ishida Yoshio''s narration, Fujiwara Ichiro''s brows wrinkled in thought instead, his fingers tapped on the tabletop unconsciously, making a bang, making Ishida''s heartbeat unconsciously slow for a half beat. v3 Chapter 1259: Crazy sitting The latest website: "You can''t put hope on them. The purpose of these consortia''s shareholders is not simple, and their position is definitely not firm." "Except for the Mitsubishi consortium''s weakness in the steel sector, the other four consortia have strong steel companies." "If there is a chance, they would be eager to see us in chaos." "Even the Mitsubishi consortium has a lot of thoughts. Haven''t we been guarding it before?" After thinking for a long time, Fujiwara Ichiro shook his head solemnly and said in a deep voice. "President, your consideration is more thorough, but if this is the case, we will be under a lot of pressure and there are not many defensive options available." Ishida Yoshio gave Fujiwara Ichiro lightly, and then expressed his worries. Fujiwara Ichiro nodded slightly: "I know." "I have reported the situation to the manager''s committee. If it is to be foolproof, the funds and resources required are too large, and the decision can only be made at the consortium level." "Our main responsibility now is to push up the stock price and increase the acquisition cost of Jiuding Securities, so that they can retreat." "Jiuding Securities will raise funds soon. As far as the current situation is concerned, the results of their fundraising will not be too bad, but the more funds they raise, the greater the threat to us." "Before they raise funds, we must gain the upper hand in public opinion, attack the prestige of Jiuding Securities, and let investors choose carefully." Speaking of this, Fujiwara Ichiro paused, looked at Ishida Yoshio solemnly, and said, "I will let someone do this." "On your side, continue to do the work that should be done, monitor the stock trading situation, and grasp the situation of the shareholders. If there is a situation, you must immediately feedback..." Ishida Yoshio emphasized his head and replied: "Understood!" ... Intense competition is an excellent way to make stock prices soar. Nippon Steel, the center of the storm, gathered media reporters at the company''s door. When Nippon Steel''s spokesperson was interviewed by the media, the tough statement quickly spread throughout the Tokyo Stock Exchange. "Nippon Steel is an important part of the Mitsui Consortium. Anyone with sinister intentions will end in failure. We plan to repurchase or increase our shareholding in the near future. This is our most intuitive attitude towards invaders!" After the news came out, institutions that were still a little hesitant entered the market decisively, trying to grab some money before Nippon Steel''s stock price skyrocketed, and when it reached a high level, they would take action to make a difference. As a result, Nippon Steel''s stock price soared. By the time the market was closed on Wednesday afternoon, Nippon Steel''s stock price had risen to 766.4 yen per share, and the market value of Nippon Steel had soared to 1839.36 billion yen, and it was launching a charge towards the two trillion yen mark. "..." "Unfortunately, I almost bought the equity held by First Quanye Bank." After Matsumoto Yu reported the situation to Xia Yu, he couldn''t help sighing. First Quanye Bank holds 1.42% of Nippon Steel''s equity. After several rounds of negotiations, the acquisition team of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has been close to the door. I never thought that the negotiations would be interrupted just before the conclusion of the negotiations. It was Nippon Steel''s statement that made the psychological bottom line of the First Quanye Bank soar. Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "No need to be a pity, uncontrollable factors always exist, even if it passes, adjust your mentality in time." "First Quanye Bank did not take the equity, but somehow it still took down a few minority shareholders." "Now we hold 14.33% of the equity, and the first stage is enough." Matsumoto nodded respectfully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The boss didn''t criticize him, so his mentality would naturally be fine. "Our acquisition is different from short selling. Nippon Steel wants to defuse the crisis, it needs to consume huge costs, and now it should be thunderous." "Do it, don''t let Nippon Steel perform a one-man show." "Funds will be raised next week, and now there must be a large number of investors waiting and watching to come up with some results." Xia Yu smiled and set the tone for this event. "Yes!" After Matsumoto Yuying finished, seeing Xia Yu lower his head to continue reading, he quietly exited the office with interest. Early the next morning, the headlines of the economic sector on the "All Day News" under the control of All Day Broadcasting under Xia Yu''s control were about Jiuding Securities. Matsumoto''s serious look and the enlarged and bold headline "We have never lost!" are very eye-catching. Just a simple news interview with Matsumoto Yu made the followers feel the huge storm brewing secretly. The tip of the needle is to the Maimang! In the Tokyo Stock Exchange, although it has not yet opened, Nippon Steel has become the focus of discussion. As time came, the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened on time. Nippon Steel''s share price jumped directly. 778.2 yen per share! Then in the blink of an eye, the stock price rushed to 784.8 yen per share. Shareholders only saw Nippon Steel''s stock price rise like a rocket, and for a while, one after another exclamation sounded from the exchange. The main force is undoubtedly Jiuding Securities. Because early this morning, Matsumoto Yu personally went to the operation room to supervise the battle, letting the traders let go of their hands and feet. The order is very simple and clear-buy at no cost, and place an order without an upper limit! It is precisely because it has removed all the burdens, Jiuding Securities Co. has swept the stock market like a tiger descending a mountain. No matter who is selling stocks, or whether they are selling thousands of lots or one lot, as long as stocks are dumped, the sell order will never stay on the market for more than a second! As long as someone dares to offer a higher price, Jiuding Securities will not hesitate to increase the price. The murderous domineering approach not only did not scare other hot money, but made them even more excited, and strengthened the idea of ??joining the rush. Many investors who want to sell stocks have also become cautious and doubt their decisions. The imbalance in the power of buyers and sellers has made Nippon Steel''s stock price like a wild horse running wild on the court. 792.4 yen per share! ... 800.0 yen per share! ... 811.8 yen per share! ... 825.1 yen per share! In less than five minutes, the market value of Nippon Steel has approached the two trillion yen mark. Many investors have noticed this, and they are about to witness a historic moment for Nippon Steel. Another minute later. As the stock price rushed to 833.4 yen per share. The market value of Nippon Steel has surpassed two trillion yen, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange is full of noise, laughter and exclamation. Nippon Steel''s market value broke through the two trillion mark, as if opening a Pandora''s Box, and more funds rushed into the battlefield, including Nippon Steel, the biggest beneficiary. Securities Minister Yoshio Ishida took orders and commissioned Mitsui Securities to help speculate the stock price. Thursday and Friday, it became a feast for investors in Nippon Steel''s stock market. By the time the market was closed on Friday, Nippon Steel''s stock price had been pushed to 954.8 yen per share However, Jiuding Securities'' shareholding ratio did not rise but fell. In fact, it was not as much as 14.33%. Only 10.88% left! Because on Friday, when Yu Matsumoto let his subordinates rush to raise funds frantically, he also ordered another group of people to manipulate an anonymous account to release stocks irregularly, selling 82.8 million shares in one day, and withdrawing funds of 79.695 billion days. Yuan, the average selling price was 926.5 yen per share. That is to say, the market is turbulent, otherwise the sale of such a huge equity will definitely smash the stock price of Nippon Steel. However, although the stock price has not fallen, the upward trend has already converged a lot. In order to continue to stimulate the market, after recovering a large amount of funds, on Saturday and Sunday, the two days when the market was closed, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. made a large-scale deployment and contacted a dozen shareholders at the same time. The inadvertent leaked news, coupled with the effect of others, created an atmosphere of resolute acquisition, constantly stirring Fujiwara Ichiro''s nerves... v3 Chapter 1260: End of the 3 Wells Consortium Latest URL: Let alone. The actions of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. had the momentum to destroy the city, and it really convinced Ichiro Fujiwara. Nippon Steel''s stock price is indeed going in the direction of his plan, but I did not expect Jiuding Securities to be so tenacious. Faced with such a high stock price, it is still attacking frantically, and it does not shrink at all. Now, Fujiwara Ichiro really couldn''t sit still. Just shouting slogans, adding wood and fire is no longer enough, there must be actual action. Otherwise, according to the current situation, if Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is allowed to take these shareholders, Jiuding Securities Co.''s shareholding is likely to exceed 25%, posing a huge threat to the Mitsui Consortium''s rule of Nippon Steel. After all, at that level, as long as one or two consortiums are drawn over, there will be another force within Nippon Steel that can rival them, and the trouble will be big by then! In a rush, he drove directly to a quaint manor near Tokyo, where the Mitsui family resided. And what he was looking for was his immediate boss, the current head of the Mitsui family, the president of the Mitsui Holding Group, and the general manager (chairman) of the "Fujikai" consortium manager-Genta Mitsui. ... "President, I''m sorry to disturb you Yaxing." Under the leadership of the butler, Fujiwara Ichiro found in the garden Genta Mitsui, who was wearing a samurai uniform and was practicing swordsmanship. When Mitsui Genta stood up with the sword, he walked quickly and bowed. "Fujiwara-kun, you have been waiting for a long time." Genta Mitsui said with a faint smile on his face, with a calm tone but with a certain power. Fujiwara Ichiro hurriedly smiled and flattered: "No, no, it''s my honor to see you so exquisite swordsmanship." "Haha..." "Let''s go, come in and talk." Wiping sweat, Genta Mitsui laughed loudly and handed the samurai sword to the butler beside him. After that, Genta Mitsui walked straight to the direction of the house, and Ichiro Fujiwara respectfully followed suit. Soon, the two came to the living room and sat down face to face. A maid made tea cautiously. At this moment, a servant put a plate of watermelon on the table while still braving. Genta Mitsui picked up a piece and said to Fujiwara Ichiro with a smile: "Don¡¯t be restrained, have a taste. This is the latest watermelon cultivated by the Agriculture and Forestry Company. Variety, sweetness and taste have reached their peak in history." "Hmm~" After that, Mitsui Gentoo took a bite of iced watermelon and showed an expression of enjoyment. Fujiwara Ichiro thanked him, picked up the watermelon and tasted it, only to taste it, and he showed a surprised expression: "This watermelon is indeed delicious. For your blessing, I have a good taste today." Genta Mitsui smiled and shook his head and said, "You will take a few back later." "Thank you, President." Fujiwara Ichiro said flatteredly. ... After eating a few pieces of watermelon to dissipate the heat, Genta Mitsui leaned on the sofa in a comfortable position and looked at Fujiwara Ichiro and asked: "Fujiwara-kun, you are here today to tell me that Jiuding Securities acquired Nippon Steel. Something?" "Yes." Fujiwara Ichiro replied respectfully. "What''s the situation now? Isn''t the stock price rising all the time?" Genta Mitsui continued to ask. After all, the Mitsui Consortium is too big. As the leader of the Mitsui Consortium, he manages everything and does not follow Nippon Steel''s real-time situation. Of course, when he watched economic news these days, he also inevitably knew the general situation. In his opinion, as long as the stock price of Nippon Steel has been rising, the problem will not be too big. Fujiwara Ichiro said solemnly, "President, the company''s share price has been rising this week. At the close of the market on Friday, it has risen to 954.8 yen per share. Compared to the beginning, the total increase has reached 40%. It''s going in the direction of our plan." "But what I didn''t expect was that Jiuding Securities did not back down in the face of the skyrocketing stock price. It is still making a strong acquisition, so the previous response strategy is no longer fully effective." Mitsui Gentoo frowned slightly, his eyes sharp as a knife, and Fujiwara Ichiro looked down. "Talk about your next plan." Gentoo Mitsui ordered in a deep voice. When Fujiwara Ichiro was about to come, he said, "President, now I have two ideas." "The first one is to upgrade the current strategy, focusing on raising prices, supplemented by acquisitions, continuing to increase the stock price, and joining the competition, so that Jiuding Securities will retreat." "The second is to fully acquire equity and increase the group''s total control of Nippon Steel to more than 50%." After briefly speaking, Fujiwara Ichiro did not explain the pros and cons of the two ideas, because he knew that the president could understand. Genta Mitsui really understood the essence and advantages and disadvantages of these two ideas. The first method is to kill one thousand enemies and harm 800 people. It still has a deterrent element. The advantage is that it consumes less resources at the consortium level, but there are still hidden worries. It is impossible to ensure that Jiuding Securities is the same as a snake. Launch an attack. The second type has obvious advantages and can eliminate future troubles, but its shortcomings are also very prominent, which consumes huge resources of the consortium. With the current share price of Nippon Steel, it is necessary for the consortium to hold 50% of the total shareholding of Nippon Steel, which will consume at least four to five hundred billion yen in resources, or even more. If this were converted into US dollars, it would be more than two billion US dollars! This is also a big burden for the consortium. After all, four to five hundred billion yen is not a small amount. Other companies will definitely have opinions. After all, resources are still mobilized from other companies. For Fujiwara Ichiro, he definitely hopes that Genta Mitsui will adopt his second method. For him, there is only good and no harm, and the pressure of the consortium has nothing to do with him. However, he didn''t dare to ask for it directly, so he only asked Genta Mitsui to decide. Source Mitsui frowned too much and did not express his position for a long time. He also has his considerations. Although Nippon Steel is the leader of the island nation¡¯s steel industry and one of the core industries of the Mitsui Consortium, the island nation¡¯s steel industry has been a sluggish industry for so many years. reduce. Prior to the consortium meeting, strategic plans have been made, focusing on the development of automotive manufacturing, electronic semiconductors, precision manufacturing, biochemical medicine, heavy machinery, real estate and other fields, while companies in the shipbuilding, steel, and transportation fields are ranked second. This strategy was discussed and approved at the manager¡¯s meeting because it is a general trend in business development. Although the Mitsui Consortium is rich in wealth, it is also a big business, and no amount of money is enough to spend. For the overall benefit of the consortium, of course, the limited funds must be used for the effect and invest as much as possible in high-growth areas and companies. If four to five hundred billion yen of funds or resources are mobilized from various companies to assist Nippon Steel, it will have a significant impact on the original strategy. But if it is not saved, if something happens to Nippon Steel, it will damage the foundation of the Mitsui Consortium and will affect a large number of core companies. Just as Nippon Steel can cut off the supply of Tiangong Automobile Group, once Nippon Steel is taken by the enemy or falls into turmoil, it will also affect the steel supply chain of the consortium. Fujiwara Ichiro threw a cactus ball for him, which was not generally tricky. For a long time, Mitsui Gentoo was too heartbroken, and decided to get it all done once and for all, and increase the control of Nippon Steel to more than 50%. In order to influence the strategies of various companies as much as possible, companies such as Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust Bank, Tokyo Maritime and Nippon Fire Insurance, and Meiji Life Insurance must be the main players to increase their shareholding. Although the Mitsui Consortium does not have complete control over these financial giants, and even the control power of Tokyo Maritime Fire Insurance and Meiji Life Insurance is not particularly high, as long as these companies join the consortium. These companies can follow the orders of the consortium and hold shares of Nippon Steel. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. wants to threaten Nippon Steel. If it has the ability, it will first acquire these financial giants. None of these four financial giants is worse than Jiuding Securities. If you want to acquire and control these four financial giants, it is difficult for the other five consortia in the island country or even the large consortia in Europe and the United States to do so, let alone Jiuding Securities. "Fujiwara-kun, I will notify you later. I will come to the meeting in the afternoon. Then I will call the presidents of Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust Bank, Tokyo Maritime Fire Insurance, and Meiji Life Insurance. Preparation, what do they need to do..." "Understood, thank you President, I will perfect the plan immediately when I go back!" After listening to Ichiro Fujiwara, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com was overjoyed, and the tone of his words revealed excitement. ... In the afternoon, a group of financial leaders gathered at the residence of the Mitsui family, and Genta Mitsui hosted a special meeting. After the meeting, each company immediately started to set up an acquisition team to act according to the assigned goals. The news cannot be hidden. What''s more, many of Nippon Steel''s shareholders are companies composed of major consortia. The big moves of the Mitsui Consortium were immediately learned by the major consortia and families. With the mentality of watching a good show, everyone focused their attention on Jiuding Securities. They want to see how the weak Jiuding Securities will choose when the behemoth Mitsui Consortium turns around... v3 Chapter 1261: Grab 90 billion! Latest website: Chapter 1261 grabs 90 billion! What else? Of course, I chose to continue! Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. did not give in, and still maintained a radical attitude. After just two days of the weekend, the stock market opened again on Monday. Jiuding Securities once again raised its placard to buy Nippon Steel shares with a big fanfare. The Mitsui Consortium''s violent end has given a second boost to the enthusiasm of many investment institutions. In two days, Nippon Steel''s share price soared to 1345.7 yen per share under fierce competition. By nearly eleven o''clock in the morning on Wednesday, a group of Nippon Steel shareholders agreed and disclosed their equity within an hour. The ranking of Nippon Steel''s top ten shareholders has almost changed. Mitsubishi Group Holdings is still the largest shareholder with a 10% shareholding ratio, but the four companies Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust Bank, Tokyo Maritime Fire Insurance, and Meiji Life Insurance have also entered the ranks of the top five shareholders. Among the top ten shareholders, there are eight shareholders belonging to the Mitsui Consortium! After the shareholding information was disclosed, Nippon Steel¡¯s president Ichiro Fujiwara publicly accepted an interview with reporters. It was a arrogant one, and once again emphasized that Nippon Steel is an inseparable part of the Mitsui Consortium and any invader with sinister intentions. , Will all end in failure. In the end, he also shouted to the outside world to remind all investors to keep their eyes open and not to hand over valuable funds to securities companies with weak strength and no overall view to avoid unnecessary losses. Although Fujiwara Ichiro didn''t call his name, everyone knew it was against Jiuding Securities. The pressure of public opinion shifted to Jiuding Securities Company. Many people are waiting for Matsumoto Yu with a joke mentality. But Matsumoto Yu refused to accept the interview, disappointing those who were waiting to see the joke. But early on Wednesday. The exclusive interview with Yu Matsumoto published in the "All-day News", the content on it was very exciting, which surprised the crowd eating melons, and made Fujiwara Ichiro, who had just arrived at the company, vomited blood. "Investment profit of 90.01 billion yen, have we really lost? ¡· "...When Nippon Steel''s share price was more than 600 yen per share, there was investment and acquisition value, but we believe that Nippon Steel''s stock price is now inflated, so we chose to give up buying Nippon Steel. I know many people. They are all watching the jokes of our company, but I want to ask them, although we have given up on the acquisition of Nippon Steel, in this project, we invested a profit of 90.01 billion yen. Did we really lose?" "Nippon Steel is not an irreplaceable company. As long as it can ultimately achieve profitability, any company is our investment goal, and no one is irreplaceable." "As a securities investment company, Jiuding Securities, our only goal is to use the most rational and shrewd judgments to create wealth for our loyal partners..." This piece of news is relatively long. Most of it is Matsumoto''s words, or it is advertising for Jiuding Securities. And the rhetorical question from Matsumoto Yu in the interview was used as the headline, coupled with a photo of his inexplicable smile, which doubled the hurt and insult. "idiot!" "what¡­¡­" Fujiwara Ichiro tore the "All Day News" newspaper in his hand to pieces. After throwing it on the ground, he was still uncomfortable. This is a typical anger into anger, incompetent anger! At this moment, Fujiwara Ichiro''s face was hot, as if he had been slapped a dozen or so in the air by Yu Matsumoto. Fujiwara Ichiro''s mind unconsciously showed many images that he did not want to face. Matsumoto Yuzheng looked at him mockingly. Many colleagues were looking at him with mocking and pitying eyes, and pointed at him. The president, Genta Mitsui, who values ??him very much, scolded him as a pig with a look of anger and disappointment, and then held a knife to cut him... The various images in my mind put Ichiro Fujiwara on the brink of collapse. ... "Unexpectedly, everyone was cheated by him and earned 90 billion yen. Then Jiuding Securities Company holds more than 13% of the equity, and such a large stock can''t be sold out in two days. , It has been secretly liquidated since last week." "The Mitsui Consortium has been following the route they designed." "It''s too deceptive!" "Matsumotoyou should not dare to do this. The only one who can dominate all this is Xia Yu who hides behind him." Among the Sumitomo family, Sumitomo Yasuke was deeply moved after reading the contents of the newspaper. In addition to shock, his eyes also showed envy and jealousy. The profit of 90 billion yen was obtained in such a short time. Think about the Mitsui Bank that he is in charge. Although it is a financial giant in the island country, its bank assets are as high as 12 trillion yen, but its net profit before tax created last year was less than 40 billion yen. A year of exhaustion, even less than half of Jiuding Securities'' short-term operations. "Xia Sang''s Jiuding Securities Company is really amazing. He deserves to be a man called a stock god." Sumitomo Kumiko, who was making tea for his father, thought to himself that there were many colors in his eyes. Shinichi Sumitomo stroked his beard lightly, his eyes filled with solemnity. "Even we have been deceived, and it is reasonable for the Mitsui Consortium, a vital beneficiary, to stumble in this." "But I can''t blame Mitsui Gentoo for his misjudgment. After all, Jiuding Securities does have the motive to acquire Nippon Steel." Nippon Steel was originally the leader of the blockade of Tiangong Automobile Group. In the previous battle for Suntory, although Jiuding Securities won the final victory, Mitsui Securities and Mitsui & Co. paid a painful price, but Jiuding Securities also Because of the involvement of Mitsui Securities, a greater acquisition price was paid. Therefore, Jiuding Securities Co. and the Mitsui Consortium have new and old hatreds. From the perspective of outsiders like them or Genta Mitsui, it is reasonable for Jiuding Securities to initiate an acquisition of Nippon Steel. And judging from the actions of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., it also revealed its true acquisition intentions everywhere. No wonder everyone subconsciously believes that Jiuding Securities is really going to acquire Nippon Steel. But I didn''t expect that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. would fool everyone! "Grandpa, Dad, you said, if the Mitsui Consortium really didn''t find out, or let Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. go to buy it, will Xia Sang really buy Nippon Steel?" At this moment, Sumitomo Kumiko, who quietly poured tea for his grandfather and father, suddenly asked a question. Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Yasuke were taken aback, they looked at each other, and then fell into thinking. After a while, Sumitomo really nodded and said: "I think it is very possible. With the strength of the Jiuding Consortium, it is enough to acquire Nippon Steel, and the pressure on Xia Yu will not be too great." "So the initiative has always been in the hands of Jiuding Securities. They should have made two plans. So after Nippon Steel discovered and resisted, they immediately adjusted their direction, right?" Sumitomo Kumiko asked. "It should be like this." "Kumiko, you have grown a lot." Sumitomo Shinichi said to his granddaughter with great relief, but secretly regretted that Kumiko is a granddaughter, not a grandson, and cannot be cultivated as a family heir. ... "Although the acquisition of Nippon Steel has come to an end, our entire plan is not over yet, and we will continue to accelerate the acquisition of shares in Aichi Steel and Nisshin Steel..." At Jiuding Securities Company, Matsumoto Yu returned to his office after giving instructions to the department manager and other subordinates in the operation room, and after sorting out the materials a bit, he came to Xia Yu''s office. "Boss, I have kept you waiting!" "This is the recent work situation, please have a look!" With that, Matsumoto Yu presented the folder in his hand to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu took it, he smiled and nodded for him to sit down: "It''s okay, sit down!" Then, Xia Yu briefly flipped through it. The company''s secret holding of Nisshin Steel''s equity has reached 38.9%, costing a total of 40.25 billion yen, and the cost of the acquisition is not high. In addition, the company secretly acquired a 16.8% stake in a company called Aichi Steel at a cost of 10.25 billion yen. This Aichi Steel Company is also a steel company that is not much different from Nisshin Steel. It is also a company in the Nippon Steel camp. In addition to producing crude steel, Aichi Steel also produces special steel for automobiles and Engine forgings are an important part of Toyota Group''s supply chain. Although the scale of the company is only about three-quarters of Nisshin Steel, it is more important to the Mitsui Consortium than Nisshin Steel. This company will be an important auxiliary target for the successful acquisition of Nisshin Steel. After reading these contents, Xia Yu saw the contents of the fundraising reception tomorrow afternoon. Jiuding Securities will open four new funds, two closed-end funds and two open-end funds, each with a capital quota of 100 billion yen. The size of each fund is comparable to that of a large and medium-sized securities company. If the fundraising goes well, Jiuding Securities will raise 400 billion yen of funds! And among them, 200 billion yen is a more strict closed-end fund, as long as it does not expire, investors cannot redeem it. Compared with open-end funds, this kind of fund is more important to Jiuding Securities Company, because closed-end fund funds are more suitable for the company to make long-term investment and layout, reducing a lot of trouble and instability. Closed-end funds are the more important foundation of an investment company. However, with the development, semi-open-end funds and open-end funds are relatively more popular, and it is more difficult for closed-end funds with more restrictions to raise funds. What''s more, Jiuding Securities also opened two closed-end funds with a scale of 100 billion yen at one time, making it difficult to raise funds. Fortunately, in the first half of this year, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has been in a state of high exposure, and because of a series of sturdy records , its popularity has risen sharply. Now stepping on the Nippon Steel, pitted the Mitsui Consortium, and bite 90 billion yen in profits from a group of hot money, it can be described as a battle. With this halo, Matsumoto Yu dared to make this decision. "Although the goal is ambitious, it is operational." "Yes, just four hundred billion funds." After putting down the file, Xia Yu said with a smile. Matsumoto smiled and asked, "Boss, will you attend the fundraising reception tomorrow?" "I won''t go anymore, you just have to do well, and come back and give me a result." Xia Yu shook his head and said. "Ok." ... v3 Chapter 1262: Tiangong Automobile Group Reinforces Latest website: Jiuding Securities¡¯ fundraising reception was held at the five-star Marco Polo Hotel in Tokyo. In the afternoon, reporters gathered outside the Marco Polo Hotel, but they were all stopped by security personnel. It can be said that those who are eligible to participate in this fundraising reception are rich people with assets of less than 100 million yen, and none of them even enter the door. The fundraising reception lasted for five hours and lasted from 3 pm to 8 pm, including a dinner party. The final result is very gratifying. Investors were enthusiastic, and all four funds of 100 billion yen level were all confirmed and raised. And there are still slow investors who did not get on the car and can only regretfully wait for the next opportunity. In the morning of the next day, in addition to "All Day News", there were also many newspapers reporting relevant news. Jiuding Securities raised 400 billion yen in one fell swoop, which shocked the entire financial market. The entire Tokyo sky was filled with the smell of lemon, which is called envy, jealousy and hatred of various financial companies! At the same time, all institutions have raised the threat of Jiuding Securities to the highest level. Not to mention anything else, just thinking about the terrifying cash flow of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. would have to retreat. Sniping on Nippon Steel earned 90 billion yen, and this time successfully raised 400 billion yen, plus the cash flow that the company must have before. Numerous institutions conservatively estimate that Jiuding Securities has a cash flow of more than 600 billion yen. Moreover, this huge amount of funds has not been leveraged and exploded. Not only can it be used freely, but it also appears to be more secret due to the lack of supervision. Anyone who knows that there is such a peace bomb level hunter hiding in the dark must be vigilant. After all, this amount of funds can push the vast majority of financial investment institutions in island countries. Without any skill, they can be crushed to death! Holding such a large sum of money, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. must make a big move in order not to disappoint investors and spend the money. Well. After Nippon Steel, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which side will its blade face? Suddenly, undercurrents in the financial market surged, and many institutions mobilized behind their backs in an attempt to find clues. Compared with the previous layout, the plan to acquire the Aichi Steel Company, which was added later, was naturally discovered because of the shorter layout time and special tasks. On Sunday, news broke. Jiuding Securities is acquiring Aichi Steel in the Nippon Steel Group! The acquisition of the parent company Nippon Steel failed, and Jiuding Securities did not give up, this time it turned out to be this one! Ichiro Fujiwara, who received the news urgently, was shocked. "idiot!" "Asshole, he is looking at us again, deceiving too much!" "idiot¡­¡­" Because it was fooled by Jiuding Securities, the capital market no longer sought after Nippon Steel''s stock, resulting in Nippon Steel''s stock price from its peak at 859.4 yen per share at the close of Friday. For this reason, according to the stock prices at the close of trading on Friday, Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust Bank and other companies have a combined loss of more than 230 billion yen. Although these companies are companies of the Mitsui Consortium, they are not 100% controlled by the Mitsui family after all. The interests of the shareholders of these companies have been damaged, and their grievances have naturally risen. Shareholders did not dare to vent their anger to the head of the consortium Mitsui Genta, and Ichiro Fujiwara, the initiator, became the object of everyone''s venting. Although they weren''t too outrageous, Fujiwara Ichiro had been very tormented these days. If the company hadn''t left it alone, he would have wanted to find a place where no one could hide for a while. Unexpectedly, when he just wanted to be an ostrich, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. actually aimed his gun at him. This time, he was really helpless. Nippon Steel will definitely not be able to spend any money to save it again. In the face of Jiuding Securities Co., which holds 560 billion yen, it wants to defend Aichi Steel Co., which is now worth more than 60 billion yen The company is extremely difficult. at this time. "Ring Ling Ling..." The phone on his desk rang quickly, and Ichiro Fujiwara was taken aback. He looked at the number, his face changed a little hesitantly, took a deep breath and picked up the receiver. "President...hey...hey..." Like a grandson, Fujiwara Ichiro kept nodding respectfully in response, until the end of the phone was hung up, and he slumped into a chair as if he had taken his strength. After a long time, he wiped a handful of secret sweat that appeared on his forehead, lifted up his strength and left the company. About half an hour later. Fujiwara Ichiro came to the residence of the Mitsui family again. When he got off the car, he happened to see Toyoda Shoichiro who was arriving at the same time. His expression kept changing. Finally, he thought of a key point and suddenly felt relieved. "Fujiwara-kun, you are here too." Toyoda also saw Fujiwara Ichiro, he took the initiative to stop and wait for Fujiwara Ichiro, smiling and greeting. The higher-ranking Toyoda Shoichiro took the initiative to greet him, and Fujiwara Ichiro hurriedly squeezed out a smile in response: "Kun Toyota, hello, I also came here as soon as I received the call from the president." "Well, let''s go, Mitsui-kun should have been waiting for a while." With that, Toyoda Shoichiro took Fujiwara Ichiro with him, and the latter took the initiative to fall behind by half. Although Fujiwara Ichiro is the president of Nippon Steel, he is a professional manager after all. Toyoda Shoichiro is different. He not only took over the responsibility of his father Kiichiro Toyota and became the president of the Toyota Group last year, but also took over the position of the head of the Toyota family. This is a real capital boss, second only to Mitsui in the Mitsui Consortium. Genta''s second person! Soon, the two came to the living room. Genta Mitsui, who had been seated, stood up voluntarily and welcomed the arrival of Toyoda Shoichiro. "Toyota-san, you are here, please sit down!" "Fujiwara-kun, please sit down!" Mitsui Genta''s attitude towards the two was different, and he was obviously more cold towards Fujiwara Ichiro, and even his smile was much reduced. Ichiro Fujiwara didn''t dare to get angry, and sat down honestly, with his hands on his knees subconsciously, as if he was sitting downright. ... Everyone is their own, and after a few simple greetings, they go straight to the topic. The topic was impressively Jiuding Securities and Aichi Steel. "Fujiwara-kun, talk about the situation of Aichi Steel." After being questioned by Genta Mitsui, Ichiro Fujiwara immediately replied: "President, Aichi Steel''s market value was relatively stable before the market was closed last Friday, fluctuating around 62 billion yen." "At present, our company holds 11.2% of the shares and Toyota Motor Corporation holds 6.4%. In addition, Mitsui Bank holds 2.1% and Mitsui & Co. holds 1.4%. Our total shareholding ratio here is 21.1%." In fact, this shareholding ratio has been continuously low, which can only be regarded as a general level. After all, Aichi Steel was incorporated into Nippon Steel''s camp later, and the process of acquisition was also very smooth. The reason is that the original shareholders of Aichi Steel wanted to board the ship of the Mitsui Consortium and bound Toyota Group and Mitsui & Co. , Solve product sales problems. It is precisely because there is no need to worry about sales issues, so Aichi Steel is more able to settle down in a specific direction to specialize in research. From a crude steel smelting company that was originally the most basic, gradually upgrade the grade and be able to develop and produce high-quality Automobile steel and engine forgings have become important suppliers of Toyota Motor Corporation. Because Aichi Steel''s shareholders are very submissive, Nippon Steel has a very low shareholding ratio, but it can still dominate the operations of Aichi Steel. In this case, Nippon Steel will naturally not spend too much money to increase its stake in Aichi Steel. With this money, Nippon Steel has long used it to improve its own heritage. After listening, Mitsui Genta nodded slightly and looked at Toyoda Shoichiro, and said, "Toyota-kun, what is your attitude here?" Toyoda said without hesitation: "Aichi Steel is already an extremely important supplier, and the quality of its products has always been very stable. Although it is not irreplaceable, if the supply is cut off, it will be very important for us. Influence, so my attitude is to spare the Aichi Steel Company." "For us, Aichi Steel is as important as Nippon Steel." Mitsui Gentoo understood what Toyoda Shoichiro meant. He looked down and asked again: "Toyota-san, I don¡¯t know how you are doing in car research and development on your side?" "It''s still relatively smooth. Our own R&D strength is very strong. The manufacturing of urban SUVs is not too difficult. According to the current R&D progress, it will take up to ten months before the finished car can be introduced to the market." "This speed is actually very fast. There is no way. The most time we spend is on design. We need to avoid Tiangong Automobile Group''s patents as much as possible." "How effective is the containment of Tiangong Automobile Group?" Genta Mitsui asked again. As soon as this problem came up, Toyoda Shoichiro''s face trembled. Obviously this problem was not so pleasant He shook his head slightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s not very smooth. It is very powerful, and the lack of steel and auto parts have temporarily found substitutes." "Several consortia in South Korea are vying to provide steel for the Tiangong Automobile Group." "As for auto parts, Tiangong Automobile Group spent 100 million U.S. dollars last month to acquire Federal-Mogul in Detroit, Michigan, USA, which greatly made up for its shortcomings." "FH is a veteran auto parts supplier founded in the last century. Although it was on the verge of bankruptcy because of the decline of Detroit, its products are not only complete in categories, but also of good quality. Our company still purchases Federal-Mogul¡¯s brake pads, spark plugs and wiper blades." Speaking of this, Toyoda Shoichiro couldn''t help shaking his head, obviously in a bad mood. Tiangong Automobile Group has been regarded as a threatening competitor by him. For this reason, he has also spent a lot of effort to blockade. But the blockade process is so unsatisfactory. It is undoubtedly quite frustrating to sit and watch the opponents continue to strengthen. v3 Chapter 1263: Decisive action Latest URL: But he was discouraged, and he didn''t always worry about it. Before doing it, he was mentally prepared. After all, the island country''s steel and auto parts are not irreplaceable. As long as Tiangong Automobile Group is not stupid enough to wait and die, it will definitely try to save itself. The initial goal of Toyota Motor Group and other auto giants in the island country is not to take this opportunity to eliminate the Tiangong Automobile Group in one fell swoop, but to delay the speed of the Tiangong Automobile Group''s occupation of the market as much as possible. In addition, Tiangong Automobile Group rushed into the island country aggressively, relying on financial resources to expand 4S stores unscrupulously, how could they turn a blind eye? How can people sleep soundly on the couch? ? ? It is a pity that the effect of the delay was not good, and it also provoked a counterattack from the Jiuding Consortium. "Mitsui-kun, my attitude is to keep Aichi Steel Co., Ltd., and I will invest and increase the shareholding, but my side alone is under more pressure." "In the first half of this year, our net profit was 370 million U.S. dollars. Most of this profit has been set for use, and up to 50 million U.S. dollars can be used for equity increase." After expressing his position, Toyoda looked at Genta Mitsui, waiting for his reply. Mitsui Gen was too silent, thinking secretly in his heart. The current market value of Aichi Steel is just over 60 billion yen, but once it is caught in a battle, the stock price will soar. Toyota Motor has spent 50 million U.S. dollars, and conservatively estimated that it can buy 10% of the equity. In addition, the total equity of the Mitsui Consortium in Aichi Steel is less than 33.4%. Moreover, looking at the attitude of Toyoda Shoichiro, he wants Aichi Steel to stabilize. The 33.4% control ratio and voting rights are definitely not enough, and he cannot completely control the company''s personnel. This means that in addition to Toyota, he has to mobilize another 100 million to 150 million US dollars in funds. This amount of money is not a lot to him, the head of the consortium. But the bad thing is that there are lessons learned. The aid of Nippon Steel has already caused many companies to lose 1 billion U.S. dollars, and as the stock price drops, the losses are still expanding. This time I want other companies to rescue and increase their holdings. Other companies may not be willing. It is very likely that he will be forced to execute... Thinking of this, Genta Mitsui felt a faint pain in his temples, and he rubbed his temples subconsciously. Weighed for a long time... Genta Mitsui expressed his worries: "Kun Toyota, do you think this time, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. really acquired or simply attacked?" Toyoda was silent. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think we will rule out the possibility of malicious sniping, but the possibility of really wanting to acquire is greater. After all, Aichi Steel is not Nippon Steel, the product type is obvious, and Crude steel output is within the digestive capacity of the Jiuding Consortium." Mitsui Gentoo nodded slightly, and after a long time of indulgence, he slowly said: "Toyota-san, do you think that this time I will let Shimago Denso, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, and Toshiba invest in some equity purchases." "Then you will contact Nissan Motor Group and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. to acquire equity together. Is this feasible?" Toyoda''s complexion changed slightly, and he understood the meaning of Mitsui Genta''s words. However, although his position is different from that of Genta Mitsui, he can be regarded as a person in the Mitsui Consortium who is less than 10,000 people under Genta Mitsui, so he can understand Genta Mitsui''s concerns. The financial giants in the consortium have helped Nippon Steel a lot. Now the complaints of other shareholders in the consortium are really big, and they can''t be too much. As for the island country Denso, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, and Toshiba, they all have deep business cooperation with Aichi Steel. It is still justified for these companies to increase their shareholding. As for asking him to find other companies, it is nothing more than pulling these companies into the water. After all, the benefits of blocking the Tiangong Automobile Group are shared by everyone, but the pressure is now being carried by the Mitsui Consortium alone. Toyoda Shoichiro had to contribute to the consortium to fix those companies. Even if these companies make a symbolic gesture! "feasible!" "I will negotiate with them." Toyoda Shoichiro didn''t refute, and answered with a calm nod. "Toyota-san, please!" Genta Mitsui finished speaking and looked at Ichiro Fujiwara again. "Fujiwara-kun, please go back and conduct a comprehensive investigation of the entire group to see if there are still risks. I hope we can take the initiative once." Although the tone of this sentence was not heavy, Fujiwara Ichiro couldn''t help but trembled. He responded hurriedly: "Yes, I have already sent someone to check. After I go back, I will definitely increase the investigation." "Ok!" ... This time, the Mitsui Consortium is still committed to defending the Aichi Steel Company, and its actions are naturally not small. Genta Mitsui called the heads of the island country Denso, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, and Toshiba. After communicating, they were assigned different acquisition tasks according to the situation. And Akira Toyoda also successfully persuaded Nissan Motor Group, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to buy together. But this time, time is too urgent. The goal was not achieved before the market opened next Monday. As a result, after the opening of the stock market, Aichi Steel''s share price soared. Just one hour after the market opened in the morning, the stock price rose by 37%, and the market value of Aichi Steel also soared by more than 20 billion yen, reaching a height of 86.01 billion yen. Such an increase has made it difficult for many parties to acquire over-the-counter equity. This time, the people who eat melon generally believe that Jiuding Securities'' winning rate is not small. But just two hours after the stock market opened. Fujiwara Ichiro, who was working at the Nippon Steel Corporation, saw his subordinates rush in in a panic. He just wanted to get angry, but he reacted instantly, got up suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "What''s wrong? What happened?" "President, we have just investigated and learned that several shareholders of Nisshin Steel have had problems and their shares have been sold. We suspect that Nisshin Steel is also being acquired by others." Subordinates ignored their breathing, panting and reporting. "what?" "Follow me to Nissin Steel Co., Ltd. immediately!" After speaking, Fujiwara Ichiro left the office hurriedly. ... And when Nippon Steel found out that Nisshin Steel was abnormal, Jiuding Securities also got the news here. Nippon Steel used the method of contacting shareholders one by one to investigate the situation. Although this method is fast, it is too simple and rude. Many shareholders of Nisshin Steel have already transferred their shares. One of them is Sanhe Bank. Sanhe Bank¡¯s shares were bought directly by Wang Qi to call Fukuhara Kazuya. Nippon Steel called the shareholder representative sent by Sanwa Bank to check the situation. After hanging up the phone, it was reported to Fukuhara Kazuya, and Jiuding Securities learned about it. Aware that has been discovered. Knowing that he could no longer keep a low profile, Matsumoto decided to start the final stage of the plan. Following his order, Jiuding Securities Company began to buy heavily in the stock market. At this time, Fujiwara Ichiro had just arrived at the New International Building, No. 4-1, Marunouchi 3chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, where Nisshin Steel is located He just wanted to ask the company president about the situation, and met Nisshin Steel. The personnel responsible for information monitoring in the securities department of your company report the emergency. Hearing that Nisshin Steel''s stock price was abnormal, and large institutions were buying stocks frantically in the stock market, Ichiro Fujiwara felt his scalp numb. The enemy started so quickly, this is always staring at them! At this moment, he seemed to feel that there were hidden eyes all around, staring at his every move, leaving him no secret at all! He didn''t have time to stay at Nisshin Steel, and after an urgent warning, he left hurriedly. After Nisshin Steel''s stock was scanned by Jiuding Securities for half an hour, a keen agency finally found out that it was Jiuding Securities that bought the stock! Jiuding Securities is not only acquiring Aichi Steel, but also at the same time taking action against Nisshin Steel in the Nippon Steel camp! The news spread quickly, and the exchange was in an uproar... v3 Chapter 1264: For the time being Latest website: Which company does Jiuding Securities want to acquire? Or do both of them really want to acquire? Or is it just for malicious sniping to earn profits? This series of questions surfaced in many people''s minds. It''s just that Matsumoto Yu will definitely not come out to answer their questions. The truth will only be known to the people who eat melons until the end. ... "It''s endless!" "Now we are in a completely passive situation!" "It''s absolutely impossible to continue like this!" In the Mitsui family, Genta Mitsui finally couldn''t help getting angry after learning about the situation, and Ichiro Fujiwara was quiet. Toyoda Shoichiro, who was called again, leaned on the sofa, his face looked very ugly. Here, Aichi Steel has just started its efforts, and the results have not been much, but on the other side a fire broke out. Although the Nisshin Steel Corporation involved in the accident has no business connection with the Toyota Group, this company belongs to the Nippon Steel Group after all and one of the peripheral companies under the Mitsui Consortium. Going back to the source, it can still be connected to the Toyota Group. He has to say that it is absolutely impossible without any responsibility. It''s just that if he was asked to save it again, it would be impossible. The defense operation of Aichi Steel has not yet been completed! So he didn''t say anything at all to see what Mitsui Genta meant. After Mitsui Genta burst into flames, he couldn''t help frowning when he saw that they didn''t say a word. But after calming down, he also felt the trouble of this matter. If you really want to keep it, it will be endless. Facing Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which holds a huge amount of funds, it has been in a defensive posture, and it is definitely a great loss. However, a vigorous battle with Jiuding Securities is too unworthy. The risks are high, and there is no benefit. It will only allow several other consortia in the island country to reap the benefits. This put him in a dilemma. For a while, all three in the living room fell silent, and the atmosphere gradually became dull. At this moment, Fujiwara Ichiro, who had been bowing his head, plucked up his courage, raised his head and looked at Mitsui Genta, and said, "President, I think we should abandon Nisshin Steel. We have been fighting against obstacles like this, as long as Jiuding Securities is one day. They will not stop if they do not achieve their goals." "In this case, we simply stepped back and gave Nisshin Steel to them. Anyway, this company is not particularly important to us, and our shareholding is not very high." "After Nisshin Steel is acquired, I am willing to take the blame and resign!" After speaking, Fujiwara Ichiro looked at Mitsui Genta with a firm face, but in fact his heart was tightly gripped, and his heartbeat continued to accelerate. He was betting that he guessed the president''s mind. There are some things that the president is not suitable for proactively speaking, but as the president of Nippon Steel, he is the most suitable to say among the three. Toyoda Shoichiro narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at Fujiwara Ichiro, then suggested to Mitsui Gen: "Mitsui-kun, I agree with Fujiwara-kun''s suggestion." "Our containment of the Tiangong Automobile Group can be declared broken. Since Jiuding Securities is determined to buy a steel company, then we can bear it. For now, it is only harmful to us to die." "Behind Jiuding Securities is the Jiuding Consortium, which is strong, but the current assets in the island country are small and there are few loopholes. It is difficult for us to cause serious damage to him." "One more thing, Jiuding Securities Company''s money belongs to investors. It doesn''t hurt to spend it, but our funds are of great use. It is not worthwhile to continue to fight with him." "Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. just raised such a huge amount of capital. It was just at the time when it was showing its strength. In the words of the Chinese, we are still avoiding the edge." "With the current style of Jiuding Securities, such a large sum of money must be spent. If it provokes public anger, it will not be too late for us to make a move." After pretending to be meditative, Mitsui Genta said with confidence: "Yoshi, Toyota-san, your analysis is in place." "In this case, let us withdraw from the Nisshin Steel Company." "but!" "Aichi Steel must keep, otherwise it will have a great negative impact on us!" He has mobilized the resources of the consortium to defend the Aichi Steel Corporation, and Toyoda Shoichiro has also mobilized, and the news must have spread. If this fails, then he and the Mitsui Consortium will lose face. Nisshin Steel can give up strategically, but Aichi Steel is absolutely not! If Jiuding Securities Company refuses to let go on this, he will definitely smash to the end. "Well, don''t worry, I will also increase my efforts here, there will be no problems." Toyoda said, nodding his head. Mitsui Gentoo nodded slightly, and then moved his gaze to Fujiwara Ichiro again, a touch of satisfaction flashed across his eyes, which changed Fujiwara Ichiro''s senses to a certain extent. A person who has the ability to observe words and colors, as well as a responsibility, is also a very useful person. "Fujiwara-kun, the matter is with Nippon Steel, it is up to you to handle it. Jiuding Securities still holds the equity of Aichi Steel, and think of a way to get it back." "understand!" "I will do my best to complete the task and will not let you down!" Seeing that Genta Mitsui didn''t mention the punishment for him, Fujiwara Ichiro was pleasantly surprised, secretly betting right, and hurriedly responded loudly. He secretly decided that what must be done this time is the only way to successfully reverse the bad impression left in the eyes of the president. "Go ahead and see what you do." "President, if it''s okay, I''ll go back first." "Go!" "Mitsui-kun, then I will leave first." "Well, if you have anything, please call again." Genta Mitsui got up and sent the two out, and the vehicle that had been watching the two drove out of his sight. He narrowed his eyes, the cold light in his eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself: "The Jiuding Consortium...Xia Yu...have to increase monitoring..." After staying for a while, Genta Mitsui turned around, picked up the samurai sword from the wall, and headed to the back garden... ... Just when the stock market was tumultuous. In a secluded teahouse in Tokyo. Matsumoto Yu looked at Fujiwara Ichiro who was kneeling and sitting opposite him with a smile. When he received the invitation letter from Fujiwara Ichiro, Matsumoto was surprised, but after reporting to Xia Yu, he followed his opinions and accepted the invitation, so he came to the appointment. He probably guessed Fujiwara Ichiro''s purpose before coming. As for whether the actual situation is the same as he guessed, the answer will be revealed soon. "Fujiwara-kun, if people outside know that we are sitting together, they will definitely be scared, what do you think?" Matsumoto Yu said teasingly with a smile on his face. Fujiwara Ichiro smiled and nodded, "I think so." The tone of the two people chatting was like old friends. "So, what do you plan to do when you ask me to come?" Matsumoto Yu looked at Fujiwara Ichiro with a smile, and said slowly. Fujiwara Ichiro smiled, took a deep breath and spit out, as if he was self-reporting, he said: "What Nippon Steel did, Matsumoto should know the deeper reasons. The past events have passed, and our company has suffered tremendously. loss." "For us, the more customers, the better, so we have already planned to send someone to the Tiangong Automobile Group to discuss the cooperation matters again." Although subdued by soft words, speaking in this way, the momentum is not much lower. But Yu Matsumoto doesn''t care about this. Fujiwara Ichiro took the initiative to come to the door, no matter how he had to kill the momentum, in order to facilitate the next consultation. So Matsumoto pretended to be confused, pretending to be confused, and said: "Fujiwara-kun, I don¡¯t quite understand what you mean. We are only optimistic about the steel industry. In terms of wanting to acquire several steel companies, it is just our company¡¯s personal behavior. , You worry too much." Hearing this, Fujiwara Ichiro frowned, and a flame burst in his heart, but he was soon suppressed. He said in a deep voice, "Matsumoto-kun, if Akito does not talk secretly, it will not be good for your company to keep fighting like this." "Although your company is capable, what do you think it will be if our entire consortium becomes serious?" "Of course, the reason why we can sit here and enjoy tea now is because we have not reached such a serious stage." "Our consortium will definitely not be afraid of your company, but for the time being we don''t want to make other consortiums cheaper, so we stop making peace, what do you think?" "Ha ha." "Fujiwara-kun, since you said that, of course I have no objection." "Nippon Steel has a big business and a large number of companies, and it is not bad for the two companies, Aichi Steel and Nisshin Steel. If we transfer the shares of these two companies to us, we guarantee that we will no longer focus on Nippon Steel. " Matsumoto Yu said with a smile after thinking for a moment. Fujiwara Ichiro said without hesitation: "Impossible, if you must ask for it, then I can only go." "At most, you can transfer the equity of Nisshin Steel, and all the equity of Aichi Steel you hold must be transferred to us." "This is the bottom line!" After speaking, Fujiwara Ichiro looked at Yu Matsumoto resolutely, his eyes were firm, and his attitude was clear. The two looked at each other for a long time. Matsumoto realized that this was really the bottom line of Fujiwara Ichiro, or the bottom line of Nippon Steel and the Mitsui Consortium behind it. Fortunately, this is the same as he expected before he came. He was originally just for the purchase of Nisshin Steel. The reason why he started the acquisition of Aichi Steel''s company was also for Nisshin Steel. If there is no Aichi Steel Company in front, and if you want to acquire Nisshin Steel''s equity from Nippon Steel, the difficulty will have to be increased by several levels. Fujiwara Ichiro can express his position, he is not muddled, he has to show his attitude and get something. "Yes, we are willing to give up the shares of Aichi Steel, but the price cannot be low. With such a large sum of funds, we must be worthy of investors. I cannot affect our reputation." "When we act, we always have to report, otherwise we can only find the next goal." Fujiwara Ichiro''s pupils shrunk slightly, and he avoided talking about this sensitive topic: "Acquisition negotiations are not my strong point. The following people will be responsible, Matsumoto-kun, please arrange for someone to discuss with our people after you go back." "no problem!" "The location of the negotiation is at our company The time is up to you." Matsumoto Yu said directly. Ichiro Fujiwara pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth secretly, nodded and said, "Yes, there are other accidents that are not good for both of us. I suggest that the time be tonight." "no problem." "Fujiwara-kun, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." After speaking, Matsumoto Yu took up the teacup and drank all the tea in the cup, then got up and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes. "Okay, don''t give it away!" Seeing Matsumoto Yu decisively leave, Fujiwara Ichiro squeezed his fist and then released it. "call¡­¡­" "Fortunately, the situation is not too bad. Let other people handle the negotiation. I can''t bear the pressure alone..." v3 Chapter 1265: Pick others peaches Latest website: In the evening, fierce negotiations were held in the conference room of Jiuding Securities. Although it was difficult to negotiate for nearly two hours, the two sides finally reached an agreement. In general, the initiative is still on the side of Jiuding Securities Company. Nippon Steel has made a certain compromise in order to make Jiuding Securities Company raise its hands high and no longer point the finger at them. Nippon Steel will hold 13.5% of the equity in Nisshin Steel for 13.66 billion yen, plus 6.27 billion yen in cash, in exchange for the 20.2% equity of Aichi Steel from Jiuding Securities . After the contract was signed, the two parties shook hands and made peace. Of course, in the end, the principals of both parties also agreed that this matter will be kept secret for the time being. The purpose of this is self-evident. Everything is for profit! The stock prices of Aichi Steel and Nisshin Steel have been exorbitantly high. Once the strike is announced, the stock prices will definitely plummet. Since it will fall sooner or later, we must not give up such a good opportunity. Institutions and retail investors who follow the trend have to pay something. However, Jiuding Securities Company cannot do this kind of thing. In the next few days, the Mitsui Consortium and Jiuding Securities Co. were still vying with each other, and they fought happily on and off the court. The stock prices of Aichi Steel and Nisshin Steel have been rising. However, at this time, Xia Yu had arranged for other companies that were not affiliated with Jiuding Securities to make a short bet against Nisshin Steel. It was not until the second week that the two parties announced a settlement successively, and the institutions that agreed to bet and the long retail investors were all dumbfounded. Both the Mitsui Consortium and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. have completed a 50% shareholding in a company, and everything has settled, with each winning and losing. Immediately afterwards, the stock prices of Aichi Steel and Nisshin Steel began to fall, and institutions and retail investors flee. The whole August was spent in a hustle and bustle. During this period, Jiuding Securities Company made frequent moves. It has announced the completion of comprehensive acquisitions of Tokyo Steel Corporation, Sanyo Special Steel Corporation and Nisshin Steel Corporation. And on September 1st, it was announced that these three companies would merge into one steel group-All Day Steel Group. The establishment of this steel group caused a huge sensation in the island country. Because this is a large steel group with more than 10,000 employees and an annual crude steel output of more than 5 million tons. It accounts for 5% of the island¡¯s annual crude steel production capacity. The company¡¯s total assets are as high as 600 billion yen and its annual sales are also A group that can reach 500 billion yen. Whether in terms of company size or production capacity, it can rank sixth in the island country''s steel industry! Although there is still more than half of the gap to the fifth-ranked Kobe Steel, at least the All-Nippon Steel Group has the qualifications to fight the giants. In addition to having a crude steel production capacity of more than 5 million, All Nippon Steel Group also has an annual production capacity of 820,000 tons of medium and high-grade steel products. It also has a certain degree of competitiveness in terms of product types. At the very least, the other five major steel giants dare not ignore or allow All-Nippon Steel Group. In addition, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. also completed the relative holding of Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., holding 50.2% of the shares, and became the largest shareholder of Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., killing the original largest shareholder Toyota Motor Group and the original second. The major shareholder Ogawa family was caught off guard. But this is the end, Toyoda can only pinch his nose to recognize it. In the field of capital markets, Xia Yu¡¯s companies other than Jiuding Securities, shorting Mitsui Securities, Mitsui & Co., and Nisshin Steel, also gained a lot, with a total of 43.6 billion yen. ... This afternoon, Xia Yu was combing through his foundation in the island country in his office, and he realized that he had already laid a solid foundation in the island country this year. Not counting the branches established by his own Jiuding Consortium and Polaris Consortium in the island country. There are already a lot of companies in island countries. Many belong to many, generally speaking, they are mainly distributed in finance, media, manufacturing, wine and fishery. The first is the financial sector, which are banks, securities companies and credit companies. Bank acquisitions were all carried out in secret, without revealing their identity. With the exception of Chiba Bank, which was originally a wholly-owned bank, the other six banks with established targets have increased their secretive shareholding to more than 50% in the past seven months. Shizuoka Bank, a key acquisition target, has a shareholding ratio of 73.5%. These are all local city banks. Under the circumstance that their sights are mostly attracted by those national banks, their shareholder changes have not caused much disturbance. After all, although Xia Yu controlled such a high shareholding ratio behind the scenes, it was actually scattered among many puppet shareholders. Under this kind of holding situation, these seven banks can be said to be able to achieve smooth government orders. Once the time is right, the merger of the seven banks can become the tenth largest national commercial bank in the island country. Needless to say about securities companies, Nomura Securities, one of the ten largest securities companies in the island country, is still a member of the Sanhe Consortium, but it is actually owned by Xia Yu. Since the brightest spot in the field is the Sunshine Credit Company, this consumer credit company with a registered principal of 50 billion yen, driven by the joint efforts of multiple resources, has grown from nothing in just five months, crazy Sixty-five stores have been expanded. Moreover, most of these outlets are not far from the big banks. They give priority to those small, medium and micro enterprises. They have loaned 52.6 billion yen at a 30% interest rate, which exceeded the registered principal. Fortunately, the Sunshine Credit Company took in deposits at an interest rate that was twice that of the bank, and it just took in 24.1 billion yen in deposits within five months. This allowed Sunshine Credit Corporation to lend normally. However, the reputation of Sunshine Credit Co., Ltd. has been opened up among small, medium and micro enterprises and the bottom residents. The growth rate of loans in these two months has increased by more than 40%. For this reason, in order to solve the funding problem, Sunshine Credit Corporation is not only continuing to absorb savings from ordinary residents, but also contacting banks. With a 10% interest rate, I believe many banks will definitely be tempted. It can be said that Sunshine Credit Company is running wildly toward the position of the island country''s consumer credit king, a lively dark horse in the industry! The media field is Xia Yu''s focus on building. In the past five months, the number of all-day newspaper stores has increased from 5,369 to 5,857. It is expanding at a rate of almost 100 new stores every month. Although it is amazing, there is nothing in the newspaper store. For a store with technical content, the most important thing is just the location and the delivery personnel. Both of these two can be solved with money. Then there are media groups such as China-Japan News Agency, Jingxin SBS Group, Hokkaido News Agency, etc., all of which have obtained absolute controlling rights, and some are even wholly-owned. Coupled with the continuous increase in the shareholding of various TV stations and radio stations in the past, the initial alliance has been formed with NTV TV station as the core, and the embryonic form of the sixth largest private news network has been created. It is worth mentioning that the sixth nationally oriented newspaper of the island nation, which is fully built by All Day Broadcast, is supported by the sixth largest private news network and Jiuding News Agency, and has rich management and marketing experience. With the support of the team and the support of the all-day newspaper store, which is the fourth largest newspaper and magazine distribution store in the island country, "All Day News" has grown one by one every day since its establishment in April. In just five months, the daily circulation reached a height of 3.28 million copies from scratch. Just for the sake of keeping a low profile, the specific sales volume of "All Day News" has always been a mystery, and only a few people know about it, let alone outsiders. Because of competition, "All Day Shimbun" cannot log in the sales channels of newspapers such as "Yomiuri Shimbun", "Mainichi Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun". It relies on its own all-day newspaper store to distribute it. Outsiders can know it. Weird. Because of the huge sales network of the all-day newspaper store, the circulation of a large number of newspapers such as the acquired "Hokkaido Shimbun", "Nishijima Shimbun", and "Tokyo Sports News" have increased to a certain extent. In the manufacturing sector, the total volume of these five companies, Kosi Kogyo Co., Ltd., Leading Electric Co., Ltd., Shimano Densan Co., Ltd., Sankyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and All-Nippon Steel Group, is more than 1,500 billion yen. The wine industry is Suntory currently the third largest in the island country''s wine market. Fishery is the island nation''s Ocean Fishery Company, the island nation''s leading fishery company with annual revenue exceeding one trillion yen. As far as Xia Yu''s personal evaluation is concerned, his influence in these five areas is not small. Although the stalls are a bit big, his anti-risk ability is extremely strong because of the particularities of the financial and media industries. The foundation has been laid, and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. in the island country has been in the turmoil of the island country. With a huge amount of funds in hand, it has the ability to make waves. As long as Matsumoto and Junpei Hyuga cooperate closely, he does not need to worry about it. In other words, at this time, he doesn''t need to sit in the island country all the time, he can completely leave. But before leaving, he still wants to solve one thing and clear the obstacles for his Jiuding Retail Group to successfully enter the island country. By the way, pick the peaches that others have cultivated for ten years. I just don''t know, will the Ito family obediently submit? v3 Chapter 1266: Monthly revenue has exceeded 600 million Hong Kong dollars Latest website: Xia Yu''s home in Tokyo. "Hello, Chairman!" "sit!" Looking at Fu Kai, who was full of energy but respectful, Xia Yu nodded secretly and motioned for him to sit down. "Thank you, Chairman!" After Fu Kai bowed slightly, he sat down, sitting upright, so as to present the best mental outlook before Xia Yu. He is the president of Xiangjiang 7-11 Convenience Store Chain Company. The parent company of 7-11 Convenience Store Chain Company is Jiuding Retail Group. Although he is now a well-known figure in Xiangjiang, he rarely reports directly to Xia Yu. . No way, Xia Yu''s height is too high. He knew very well that even the president of the parent company Jiuding Retail Group would not see Xia Yu several times a year. This time he was suddenly summoned by the chairman, but it made him both excited and anxious. Even when he was on the plane, he took a short time to sort out the company¡¯s situation several times, fearing that the chairman would smell it. I was stuck in my head and couldn''t answer, leaving a bad impression in the chairman''s mind. "I heard Zhou Cheng say that you are doing a very good job. Tell me about the current situation of the company." Xia Yu leaned on the sofa, smiling while looking at Fu Kai and said. Hearing the extremely contagious voice of the chairman, at this moment, Fu Kai''s originally nervous mood surprisingly calmed down. He fluently described the draft prepared in the future: "Chairman, now our company is a well-deserved leader in convenience store chains in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. As of August this year, the company has a total of 1,355 stores, of which 285 are on Hong Kong Island , There are 241 in Kowloon, 184 in the New Territories, 165 in Old Town, and 480 in Southeast Asia." "In terms of employees, last month the company officially exceeded 7,000 employees, reaching 7075. In August, the company''s total revenue officially exceeded 600 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching 69.52 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average daily revenue of 14,994 per store. Hong Kong dollars..." As Fu Kai continued to tell, Xia Yu nodded slightly to express satisfaction. According to Fu Kai''s report, 7-11 convenience stores have an average gross profit of 31% due to factors such as perfect management system and volume control. In addition to revenue of 69.52 million Hong Kong dollars in August, the company''s monthly gross profit reached 189 million Hong Kong dollars. If other costs are deducted, net profit can be guaranteed to be more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, the 7-11 convenience store chain company alone is a retail giant with an annual net profit of up to 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. If it is listed separately, its market value can easily exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, it is not without its shortcomings. For example, the average daily revenue of a single store still has a lot of room for growth. After Fu Kai finished speaking, Xia Yu made a comment: "Very good. The overall situation of the company is indeed very good. The monthly revenue has exceeded 600 million Hong Kong dollars. This is a milestone. You did not disappoint me." "This is thanks to the trust of the chairman!" Fu Kai was very happy, but he tried his best not to smile, and said humbly. At this moment, Xia Yu turned around and beat him cleanly. "But there is still a certain gap from my expectations." Fu Kai''s excitement stopped abruptly. He first admitted his mistake, and then asked nervously: "The subordinates are ignorant, please also the chairman to raise something." "Don''t be nervous, I don''t eat people." "Hehe." Fu Kai smiled awkwardly, staring at Xia Yu closely, waiting for his next words, and at the same time, he tried his best to reflect on what made the chairman dissatisfied. "The daily revenue of a single store is close to 15,000 Hong Kong dollars. I believe that this revenue is a very good result for Xiangjiang, but we can only make progress if we look at the best." "Do you know the average daily revenue of 7-11 convenience stores in the island country?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. Of course Fu Kai knew this data, otherwise he would be negligent. The Xiangjiang 7-11 convenience store also learned from the 7-11 convenience store in the island country at the beginning, and it has grown so quickly to the present point. He said with shame: "It''s about 750,000 yen." 750,000 yen, the exchange rate is equivalent to 21,000 Hong Kong dollars. Xiangjiang''s 7-11 convenience store has not yet reached an average daily revenue of 15,000 yuan per store, and the gap is indeed quite large. However, Xia Yu also believes that the average daily revenue of a single store of Xiangjiang 7-11 convenience store must be two to three times the average of Xiangjiang, which is definitely not bad. However, the goal of Xiangjiang 7-11 convenience store is to become an international retail giant, so this single store''s revenue does have a relatively large room for growth. However, if it is used to compete with 7-11 convenience stores in the island country, it is actually enough. Xia Yu can see clearly that the 7-11 convenience store in Hong Kong is so much worse than the 7-11 convenience store in the island country. Although there are reasons for the management level, there are also objective factors for the market economy. The economic level of Hong Kong Island can be compared with the developed cities of the island countries. But what about Hong Kong New Territories? What about Southeast Asia? These areas are definitely dragging their feet, lowering the average index. If the Xiangjiang 7-11 convenience store enters the island country, if the location is not bad, it will not be much worse than the island country 7-11 convenience store. However, Fu Kai may also know these things, but Xia Yu doesn''t need to tell Fu Kai that his purpose is to beat and beat Fu Kai to keep Fu Kai motivated so that he can complete the next task he assigned. After all, Masatoshi Ito and Toshifumi Suzuki are not good crops, and Ito Yokado Group is likely to not compromise. Now the president of 7-11 convenience store in the island country is the father of the island country¡¯s convenience store retail. He has built a retail empire. His ability is extremely strong. If he really fights, even if he takes the initiative, Fu Kai must have Deal with it carefully, otherwise it will easily roll over. The power behind the Ito Yokado Group is not bad. "Chairman, please rest assured, I will continue to work hard to improve the management level and increase the daily revenue of a single store." Fu Kai immediately made the pledge, his face was firm, his tone was very firm, to show his determination. "Ok!" Xia Yu nodded slightly and did not dwell on this issue too much. He asked again about other situations: "How about the company''s employee training and management system. If you are asked to establish a branch in an island country and open a thousand stores within a year, can you do it?" Open a thousand stores a year? And it''s still within the island country! It''s stressful! Fu Kai frowned, his heart quickly deduced. The current 7-11 convenience store has 1355 stores, but it took a few years to build, and only he knows the hardships best. Although everything is difficult at the beginning, the foundation is laid, and after it is on the right track, it will be easier to expand, but there are still too many 1,000 businesses a year. In terms of personnel, nearly 5,500 talents must be recruited in island countries! We have to conduct business training for these people and so on. The key is that these people recruited are all islanders, and the Hong Kong 7-11 convenience store chain company has very few Japanese-savvy talents. For a long time Fu Kai gritted his teeth and solemnly said: "Chairman, I will do my best. In the next year, I will let a vice president take the lead in the expansion strategy in Southeast Asia. Just focus your work on the island country, and you will not be disappointed!" Xia Yu was satisfied with Fu Kai''s condition. He chuckled and said, "Yes, I believe you will not let me down." "You only need to have this preparation. As to whether you really want to do this, it is not yet finalized." "Look at Ito Yokado first." "These days, don¡¯t go back, go around the island country and take a closer look at the operating status of the island¡¯s 7-11 convenience store. It¡¯s best to let your subordinates check the distribution of the island¡¯s 7-11 convenience store. ." Fu Kai nodded hurriedly and promised. At this time, an idea emerged from the bottom of his heart. Is the chairman going to let him do that? For a moment, he only felt the blood in his body gradually boil... v3 Chapter 1267: Picture poor see Latest website: Tokyo, Island Country 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd. headquarters. Vice President Kimura Sawano, who had just returned from the United States, rushed back to the company with a solemn expression, and walked straight into the office of President Toshifumi Suzuki. Suzuki Toshifumi can be said to be the biggest contributor to the success of the 7-11 convenience store in the island country. At the beginning, he persuaded Masatoshi Ito to sign a regional franchise agreement with the American Southern Company to obtain the development of the "7-11" convenience store model in the island country. Quan, this is also the first convenience store in the island country to copy the American model. This path is on the right track, so Toshifumi Suzuki won the unanimous approval of the senior executives of the Ito Yokado Group. Since February 1978, he has served as the president of 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd., leading the company to a high-speed development. road. It''s just that this broad road has gradually been fogged up this year, so that the future cannot be seen at a glance, and the future has become erratic. Seeing Kimura Sawino''s face coming in, Suzuki''s expression instantly became serious, and the pen in his hand was lowered subconsciously. "Kimura-kun, you are back, how is the situation?" Kimura Sawano sighed and said with a guilty expression: "President, I''m sorry to disappoint you." "Roy Gordon no longer dealt with us vaguely, but the conditions put forward made us unacceptable." "What conditions?" Suzuki Toshifumi hurriedly asked. "The American Southern Company proposed that the franchise fee does not need to increase, which is still $3 million per year, but they want to increase their shareholding from 21% to 51% and require us to transfer another 30% of the shareholding to them. Kimura Sawano said heavily. Suzuki''s face was gloomy for an instant, and he cursed angrily: "Damn American ghost, he''s robbing!" "They are the bright future for 7-11 convenience stores in the island country!" "Yes, they are robbing, Roy Gordon is taking us down, even he threatened that this is our only choice." Thinking of the scene when negotiating with Roy Gordon, Kimura Sawano''s anger rose again, and the enemy said angrily. As the vice president of 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd. in the island country, because the company is a large retail company with annual revenue of more than 200 billion yen in the island country, his social status is very high, but he is sent to the United States by the company After that, I was frustrated for several months. However, the 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd. of the island country was grasped by the American Southern Company. In the face of various difficulties and runs, he could only bear not daring to attack, for fear that it would destroy the cooperation between the two parties and let Roy Gordon find trouble. The reason for this caused trouble for the company. Actually speaking, the source of what made Suzuki Toshifumi and Kimura Sawano so angry was the contract signed in November 1973. In November 1973, Masatoshi Ito and Tofumi Suzuki went to the headquarters of American Southern Corporation in Texas, USA, and negotiated the franchise rights of 7-11 convenience stores in the island country. The final result of the negotiation is that the American Southern Company acquires 21% of the 7-11 convenience store in the island country. At the same time, the island country Ito Yokado Group also needs to pay an annual franchise fee of three million US dollars. The franchise period is limited to ten years. After ten years, it can be renewed first, and the specific franchise fees can be renegotiated. And because the Ito Yokado Group was in a weak position at that time, the Southern Company became a shareholder of the new company, and the Ito Yokado Group did not expect the 7-11 convenience store to develop in the island assembly to the present level, so in terms of breach of contract , The agreement is relatively loose, but it is agreed that during the agreement period, if both parties unilaterally breach the contract, they need to pay the other party a one-time compensation of 30 million US dollars. This clause more restricts the American Southern Company. The agreement was signed in November 1973, and it is now September 1983, two months away from the ten-year deadline. In fact, Suzuki Toshifumi deployed the contract renewal work at the beginning of this year, but he was a little careless at the beginning, thinking that it was just the franchise price that could not be negotiated. When he realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. The only blame is that the shareholder representatives and directors of the American Southern Company are so foolish, and the cooperation between the two parties has been close for so many years. The development dividend of the 7-11 convenience store in the island country has been enjoyed by the American Southern Company. At the beginning, it obtained 21% of the company''s equity with only brand investment. It can be said that the Ito Yokado Group is worthy of the American Southern Company. I just didn''t expect that the American Southern Company would become so greedy and want to eat the 7-11 convenience store in the island country! "President, what should I do now?" "Roy Gordon has been releasing smoke bombs before, entangled with our annual franchise fees, and only now has his fangs exposed." "It has been less than two months since the ten-year period. As long as the deadline is reached, they can automatically terminate the contract, and the 30 million U.S. dollar liquidated damage clause will become invalid." "We only have less than two months to make a decision. Time is too tight." Kimura Sawano said solemnly. "Yeah, time is too tight, Roy Gordon has deliberately delayed until now, we are in big trouble!" Suzuki Toshibumi felt heavy, and sighed after a long time. "President, there should be a new store opening plan in the past few months, what are you going to do?" Facing the problem of Nakamura Sawano, Suzuki Toshifumi shook his head and sighed: "According to the original plan, 120 new stores will need to be opened in the fourth quarter. Most of the site selection has been completed, and now we can only suspend it. "We have spent nearly ten years operating the brand. Consumers have already recognized the brand of our 7-11 convenience store. We must solve the brand first!" "On this matter, only President Ito can decide. I will ask him for instructions first." After Suzuki finished speaking, he remained silent on the stool for another half a minute, then picked up the phone and called Ito Masatoshi. After a few brief words, he confirmed that Ito Masatoshi was in the Ito Yokado Group and he was free. hang up the phone. "Kimura-kun, come with me to see President Ito." "Ok!" After speaking, Kimura Sawano followed Suzuki Toshifumi and left the office. The headquarters of Ito Yokado Group is located in Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo, not far from 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd. About ten minutes later, Suzuki Toshifumi led Kimura Sawano and hurried to Ito Masatoshi''s office. "Suzuki, Kimura, sit down!" "Thank you, President!" "You are looking for me together, is it about the American Southern Company?" "How''s it going?" Masatoshi Ito is a gentleman, and the smile on his face is his mark. Now he asks the situation in a gentle tone, but he makes Suzuki Toshifumi and Kimura Sawamura feel guilty. After all, they let the president down. As the president of 7-11 convenience store, Tofumi Suzuki is not lacking in responsibility. He lowered his head slightly and narrated the general situation: "President, I am sorry to report the bad situation to you..." As Suzuki Toshifumi continued to tell, the smile on Masatoshi Ito''s face gradually disappeared, and his expression became more solemn. "Kimura, do you have anything to add?" However, Masatoshi Ito was still calm. After Suzuki Toshibumi finished speaking, he asked Kimura Sawano again. Kimura Sawano combined with Suzuki Toshifumi, adding: "President, I still have some details to add..." Then, Kimura Sawano mainly recounted the content of his conversations during each contact with Roy Gordon, as well as his personal analysis. After Kimura Sawano finished speaking, Ito Masatoshi solemnly said: "It seems that after nearly ten years of development, we have encountered the biggest crisis since the company was founded!" "It''s my fault that I didn''t pay enough attention to leaving such a big loophole." Seeing that Masatoshi Ito blamed himself, Suzuki Toshifumi was even more embarrassed and said hurriedly: "President, in fact, the main responsibility lies with me. At that time, I strongly recommended joining 7-11 convenience stores. I was optimistic about the development of chain convenience stores. I still underestimated the future of this market, so there is no..." "Well, let''s not fight for the right and wrong of the past." Masatoshi Ito interrupted Toshifumi Suzuki and said, "Now we have to solve the brand problem immediately." "The request of the American Southern Company is too unreasonable. Once agreed, the ownership of the company will be controlled by the American Southern Company. Even if we develop well, the future is full of risks. The American Southern Company can easily determine our future." "At present, there are only two options before us. The first is to continue to negotiate with the American Southern Company to lower their terms. The equity can be transferred again, but the maximum transfer is 12%. Holding more than one-third of the company¡¯s equity." "If they are unwilling, then we can only give up, reorganize stores across the country, and completely change brands." "Although doing so will cause us to suffer severe damage, but I believe we will succeed in passing it." Speaking of this, Masatoshi Ito paused, and changed his heavy tone, his tone became passionate and very sensational. "The company''s greatest wealth is not money, but trust. The trust of customers, suppliers and employees. I believe that even if we change the brand, as long as we do a good job of management and service as always, I believe that customers will definitely continue choose us." "Of course, we must also understand that if we really have to make the second choice, then convenience stores such as Lawson and Quanriday will certainly not let go of the opportunity. They will compete fiercely with us and we will be under great pressure. Great, especially the two of you." "President, please rest assured, no matter how great the difficulties are, we will overcome them. Along the way, we have proven that we are not afraid of challenges!" "Yes, President, please rest assured!" Suzuki Toshifumi and Kimura Sawano said loudly. Masatoshi Ito nodded with satisfaction and encouraged: "I believe in your abilities!" Then, his smile narrowed, the gaze under his eyes became extremely deep, and he solemnly ordered: "Kimura It is up to you to continue the negotiation with American Southern Company, I will give you ten days!" "The bottom line, I have already told you, up to 12% of the equity can be transferred, and the price cannot be low." "Yes!" Kimura Sawano responded loudly. Masatoshi Ito looked at Toshifumi Suzuki again and said, "Suzuki, based on the second situation I said, make a plan ahead of time. Once Kimura fails to progress, it will be implemented immediately, and the contract should be started when the contract expires. All stores will be reorganized and renovated, and the brand change will be completed as quickly as possible." "understand!" Suzuki Toshibumi raised his chest and looked very firm. "Ok!" "Go ahead, come on!" ... v3 Chapter 1268: 0 sale market gunsmoke 4 Latest website: In the past life, the originator of the convenience store chain of American Southern Company, the initial business was retailing ice milk, eggs, etc., and then enriching the products step by step. It was not until 1964 that the ¡°innovation¡± of the then convenient service was launched and the business hours were extended from 7 am to 11 pm. Since then, the legendary name of ¡°7-11¡± was born. It¡¯s just that in the previous life, in 1991, the American Southern Company had a business problem and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The long-coveted island country Ito Yokado seized the opportunity and bought 72.7% of the American Southern Company in one fell swoop, turning such an American company. Became an island company and officially changed its name to 7-11 in 1999. In this life, the American Southern Company was wholly-owned by Polaris Capital Corporation of the United States, and combined with Xia Yu¡¯s vision, the American Southern Company has been doing well. In addition to operating daily necessities, 7-11 convenience stores in the United States also assist residents in nearby communities in collecting electricity, gas, insurance, water, cable radio and television viewing fees, and even courier fees and international communication fees. The residents actually played a convenient role. On this day, the company¡¯s president Roy Gordon had just returned to the company after an investigation, and learned that Kimura Sawano of 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd. had brought someone here again. Thinking of the order given to him by the president of the parent company Peter Lynch, he couldn''t help but shook his head slightly. In fact, from his point of view, the cooperation between American Southern Corporation and the island country Ito Yokado Group is still very good. It''s just that Peter Lynch is his boss, so although he doesn''t understand Peter Lynch''s true intentions, he can only execute it with all his strength. It¡¯s just a pity that the island country Ito Yokado Group, no matter which route you choose, the result is a loss... After shook his head slightly and cleaned up the distracting thoughts, Roy Gordon took the secretary to the reception room and saw Kimura Sawano and his group who were about to lose their temper. "Mr. Kimura, we meet again. Have you made a decision this time?" As soon as they met, Roy Gordon smiled and went straight to the subject. Kimura Sawano said with a serious face, "Yes, Mr. Roy, I think we have to talk." "Then let''s change place, please come with me!" "Ok." ... After a while, a group of people came to the small meeting room and sat down clearly. Kimura Sawano didn''t want to go around the circle, and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Roy, last time your company''s opinion, I have reflected to the company, our President Ito gave me the final instructions." "Our company is willing to deepen the cooperative relationship with your company, but we also have an insurmountable bottom line." Kimura Sawano deliberately emphasized the bottom line. Roy Gordon narrowed his eyes, and said concisely, "Please continue." Kimura Sawano resolutely said: "Our company is willing to transfer another 12% of the equity to your company, but your company must pay a suitable price and sign a permanent regional franchise..." As soon as Kimura Sawano spoke, and before he asked, Roy Gordon resolutely said: "Permanent regional franchise rights can be granted, but you must transfer another 30% of the equity. The price will not make you lose money." "It''s impossible, Mr. Roy, it''s you. Would you like to hand over the custody of your son to someone else?" Kimura Sawaye''s expression changed, and he asked loudly, his tone became aggressive, and his momentum instantly stood up. "Humph!" Roy Gordon is not muddy, he snorted coldly, his face instantly became cold, his hands on the table, and said in a very oppressive manner: "Mr. Kimura, without our brand, it would be impossible. With you now, you have to recognize the situation." "Or do you think you can survive without our 7-11 convenience store brand?" Not to be outdone, Kimura Sawano stared at Roy Gordon and retorted: "Mr. Roy, it is undeniable that our company has been able to go now because of the brand. But before we acted as an agent, 7-11 convenience stores The island country has almost no influence." "The most important reason why 7-11 convenience stores are so famous in island countries is that our business model and service level are very high. Now it is not the brand of 7-11 convenience stores that has made us, but we have built this brand. ." "The operating model of 7-11 convenience stores in the island country is very different from that of the 7-11 convenience stores in the United States. You have to look directly at this fact." "Yes, abandoning the 7-11 convenience store brand will have a great impact on us, but it will also be a heavy blow to the Southern Company, and you will not be able to win." Speaking of this, Kimura Sawano''s tone eased a little and continued: "Of course, we have had cooperation for so many years after all, and win-win cooperation is our common goal." "Your company thinks that you may be at a loss, and is more optimistic about the future of 7-11 convenience stores in the island country. Based on the friendly cooperation in the past, we are willing to share the results with your company, but we also hope that your company can understand us." After speaking, Kimura Sawano looked at Roy Gordon with scorching eyes, and his breathing was lightened subconsciously. He didn''t want to fall out with the American Southern Company, and President Ito didn''t want to, so after expressing his firm stand in indignation just now, he lowered his posture. From Kimura Sawano''s point of view, he has done his best, his attitude has been shown, and he has given him a step down, depending on Roy Gordon''s attitude. The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely dull, and everyone focused on Roy Gordon. It''s just that Roy Gordon has no expression on his face, not even an angry expression, making it impossible to see his true thoughts. For a long time, Roy Gordon said tepidly: "Mr. Kimura, I already know the attitude of your company. I have to call a meeting of the directors to determine the specific situation. Before that, you need to wait. Up." "Personally, I currently hope to continue to cooperate with your company, but I have to respect the opinions of others." After speaking, Roy Gordon took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand to Kimura Sawano. Kimurazawa''s ambition sank, took a deep breath, and shook hands with Roy Gordon: "Okay, Mr. Roy, I hope to give me an answer as soon as possible." "Will do." After all, Kimura Sawano wittily left the American Southern Company with someone. After Kimura Sawano left, Roy Gordon returned to the office alone, picked up the phone and dialed the number of Peter Lynch, President of Polaris Capital, "President Lynch, this is Roy Gordon, I I want to report something to you... OK, I will continue to delay time..." "Patter." After the call was over, Roy Gordon sat in his seat and muttered to himself: "Island 7-11 franchise will be handed over to Xiangjiang 7-11 Convenience Store Chain Company permanently. Can¡¯t do it successfully..." "Hey¡­¡­" "Forget it, this involves a higher level of struggle, I''ll just leave it alone, just try my best to run the company well." Roy Gordon shook his head, picked up a document and reviewed it. ... Let¡¯s talk about Peter Lynch¡¯s side, after ending the call with Roy Gordon, and getting the day time of the island country Tokyo, he called Xia Yu and informed Xia Yu of the situation. Although it was a pity that I didn''t get the controlling stake in the 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd., Xia Yu was not too disappointed. He was also mentally prepared, and neither Masatoshi Ito nor Toshifumi Suzuki were easy to surrender. Being able to control the island country 7-11 Convenience Store Co., Ltd. is naturally the best result. But since that goal cannot be achieved, it can only be played with a real sword! Let''s talk about taking over the 7-11 convenience store brand in the island country first. After that, he immediately issued an order to Fu Kai. Soon, all the resources of the Jiuding group will be gathered from the 7-11 convenience store chain company. Jiuding Real Estate Group assists in shop acquisition or leasing, as well as shop renovations, while Dao Guo Guanghui International Branch is responsible for large-scale talent hunting... In order to maximize the brand value of the island country¡¯s 7-11 convenience store, Fu Kai plans to target the island country¡¯s 7-11 convenience store to choose a location. The 7-11 convenience store in the island country now has 985 stores, so in the next year, he will expand for these stores. At that time, as long as the contract period expires, the brand of the 7-11 convenience store in the island country will be transferred to its own company, and Suzuki Toshifumi can only change the brand. In this way, a large number of loyal consumers will definitely be transferred to them, as long as the service can keep up, then customers can be retained. Although doing so would lead to fierce competition, Fu Kai decided to fight. Anyway, the current 7-11 convenience store in the island country is the leading convenience store chain in the island country. Sooner or later, it will compete head-on. Rather than wait until later, it is better to kill Suzuki Toshibumi by surprise at the beginning, and do his best to hit the enemy and fight the war. The initiative is in your hands! With the continuous investment of resources, a 100-150 square-meter store near many existing 7-11 convenience stores in island countries has been transferred and undergoes closed renovation. It''s just that the transfer and decoration of the store is extremely normal, so the island 7-11 convenience store found no abnormalities at all. As ten days passed, and the Southern Company had not yet responded, Masatoshi Ito and Toshifumi Suzuki gave up their hearts and decisively recalled Kimura Sawano. After discussion the new brand decided to name it "Ito Yokado Convenience Store". This name is recognized by most people. The reason for this name is that the Ito Yokado Group itself is a retail giant. The large supermarkets, supermarkets, department stores, specialty stores and discount stores of the Ito Yokado Group are named after Ito Yokado. of. The brand of Ito Yokado itself is very famous in the island country, and it happens to be in the retail industry. Changing the convenience store to this brand can at least have a certain mass base and increase the popularity of passersby. Time flies like a white horse, and it¡¯s November in a flash. November 11. The agreement between the American Southern Company and the island country Ito Yokado Group officially expired. On this day, the island country¡¯s retail industry was full of smoke and wars... v3 Chapter 1269: Seven-Eleven reopened Latest website: Ginza Metro Station in the island nation of Tokyo. It is a very busy subway station in Tokyo with a particularly large flow of people. Of course, there are a variety of small and medium-sized shops or restaurants with neat environment and beautiful decoration around Ginza Station, with complete facilities, which can be said to integrate eating, drinking and playing, which can make the office workers who have been working for a day feel a sense of relaxation when they pass by. The 7-11 convenience store is deeply cultivated in the Tokyo area. Naturally, such a place will not be missed. Since December 1974, there has been a 7-11 convenience store outside of Ginza Station. But on November 11th. When many office workers in a hurry want to buy some milk and bread, they unexpectedly find that the location of the 7-11 convenience store has changed. The exterior of the store that I had been patronizing has completely changed, and the name of the store has been changed to "Ito Yokado Convenience Store." And just ten meters away, a familiar "7-11 Convenience Store" appeared. The two convenience stores are about the same distance from the subway station. Many people hesitated for a while and chose to walk into the 7-11 convenience store. For many people, the habits accumulated over the years and the recognition of the 7-11 convenience store brand cannot be easily changed. Of course, the brand is only an important factor in allowing customers to enter the store, and whether customers can be retained again depends on the quality of service and product quality. On the opening day, Xia Yu walked into the convenience store with Fu Kai and a bodyguard in casual clothes. "Welcome to 7-11!" As soon as he walked in, Xia Yu found dozens of people in the store choosing goods. He walked around the store casually, choosing goods by the way. When passing by a beautiful waiter in a uniform with the 7-11 logo, the waiter stopped his movements, stood aside, and said in a sweet voice: "Welcome to 7-11." Xia Yu smiled back and continued to walk forward, stopping at the corner. He looked back and found that the beautiful waiter was still working, but whenever a customer passed by, she would step aside and greet with a smile. And every customer, even if they don''t respond with a smile, will smile more after passing by. "This service is good!" Xia Yu commented softly. Fu Kai, who was following Xia Yu, couldn''t help smiling. After that, Xia Yu continued to observe in the store, and when he finally left, he bought some things to settle at the cashier, and observed the cashier''s work closely. In the sweet "welcome again" voice of the beautiful waiter, Xia Yu walked out of the 7-11 convenience store, stopped near the entrance of the store, and simply asked some questions to the customers who came out of the store. After asking more than 20 people, Xia Yu took Fu Kai to the "Ito Yokado Convenience Store" ten meters away, and walked out more than ten minutes later. During the whole process, Fu Kai followed Xia Yu. He just didn''t speak, and he didn''t dare to say anything. Although he had a certain degree of self-confidence, as long as the chairman did not comment, his heart would not be completely grounded. "Not bad. In terms of hardware facilities and services, it is not worse than Ito Yokado Convenience Store, and customer reviews are not bad." On the way back by car, Xia Yu smiled and commented. Fu Kai''s slightly hanging heart finally landed steadily, and he said modestly: "Thank you for your approval, I will continue to work hard." "Well, I will continue to work hard. Today is just the beginning. Ito Yokado convenience store will certainly not remain indifferent." Xia Yu nodded slightly. Fu Kai''s face became solemn, and he nodded heavily. In fact, the Ito Yokado Group took action a few days ago to publicize the brand change through the media, and emphasized that the quality and service will not change. They hope to retain consumers as much as possible in this way. Facts have proved that this measure of Ito Yokado Group has a certain effect. This can be proved by the traffic of Ito Yokado convenience store and the conversations between customers and shop assistants. However, Xia Yu didn''t expect that this way of grabbing the brand would defeat the Ito Yokado convenience store. If it is so easy, the original 7-11 convenience store in the island country will not always occupy the leading position of the island country''s convenience store chain. It will still stand tall in the face of various competitions and is still developing rapidly. Xia Yu''s goal was to make his own convenience store gain a foothold in the island country from beginning to end, and to capture the fruits of Ito Yokado Group''s ten years of careful cultivation. After nearly two months of hard work, Fu Kai finally achieved today¡¯s pioneering move to open one hundred 7-11 convenience stores at the same time. In order to concentrate their efforts, all these one hundred convenience stores radiate around Tokyo as the center. It is convenient to speed up distribution efficiency and control costs when the number of stores is small. In just two months, Xia Yu was surprised to do this from scratch. However, after visiting the site today, he had to be satisfied with what he witnessed. Fu Kai did not disappoint his expectations. Unknowingly, the car stopped in front of the headquarters of Xia Yu''s 7-11 convenience store chain company Island Branch. After Fu Kai got off the car, Xia Yu made the final instructions. "The opening event will last for three days. With the support of the event, the turnover of these three days should not be bad, but the most important thing is that on the fourth day after the event, you have to make people do statistics on all aspects. Show me then." "At the same time, we have to pay close attention to the development of Ito Yokado convenience store. At first, they must be watching the situation. If there is a situation, we must respond to it as soon as possible. If you need other resources, let me tell you." "Thank you, Chairman!" Fu Kai nodded solemnly and thanked him. "Well, I''m leaving now." "You go slowly, I wish you a smooth journey." Under Fu Kai''s attention, the car started again and disappeared in the traffic. ... The 7-11 convenience store is a 24-hour convenience store. In order to accurately count the sales data, Fu Kai has been in the company until 12:30 in the morning of the next day. The sales data of one hundred convenience stores are finally released under close calculation. For one hundred stores, the turnover reached 85.42 million yen on the 11th, with an average daily turnover of 854,200 yen for a single store. The store with the highest turnover reached 1.241 million yen. Once this data was calculated, all the employees of the 7-11 convenience store chain company who were working overtime could not help cheering. Although it was due to the bonus of opening activities, the achievement of this result on the first day still surpassed the revenue of Ito Yokado Group during its operation period. It is already the first shot. The following day, the total revenue of 100 stores reached a new high that day, reaching 90.17 million yen, and the store with the highest turnover reached 1.384 million yen. But on the third day, the revenue data declined. The total revenue of 100 stores fell below 90 million yen on that day, but it was also higher than the first day, reaching 86.23 million yen. The store with the highest turnover reached 1.318 million yen. During the three-day event period, the revenue data is very good. But the most important thing is the first day after the event ~ www.novelhall.com~ is the fourth day of opening. In the absence of activity bonus, the turnover can best reflect the market''s true situation of 7-11 convenience stores. At around 12 o''clock in the morning on November 15, Tokyo''s Ito Yokado Convenience Store Co., Ltd. and 7-11 Convenience Store Shimanoku Branch were all brightly lit. Fu Kai couldn''t sit still in the office, and went directly to the sales accounting department to watch the subordinates calculate the data. As time passed bit by bit, while waiting anxiously, the results were finally calculated. "President, the statistics are out." "Give it to me!" Fu Kai couldn''t help but directly took the data statistics list from his subordinates. When he put his gaze on the bottom row of numbers, a relieved smile appeared on his face. v3 Chapter 1270: Ito Yokado Jedi Strikes Back The latest website: On the fourth day of opening, the 24-hour sales of 100 stores reached 66.5 million yen, the average daily turnover of a single store was 66.5 yen, and the highest store sales were 984,000 yen. Although compared with the previous three days, the data has fallen by more than 20%, and even the average daily turnover of a single store is about 90,000 yen lower than that of the Ito Yokado Group. But this result has far exceeded Fu Kai''s psychological expectations. After all, the most recent competition is the Ito Yokado Convenience Store, and there are other convenience stores nearby. Under the pressure of such a high level of competition, the average daily average of 757,000 yen for a single store during the period of Ito Yokado is absolutely absolute. impossible. In the company''s original analysis and judgment, the pre-judgment made was that the average daily turnover of a single store was around 400,000-500,000 yen. Now on the fourth day, there is no promotional activity blessing, but it is beyond imagination to be able to achieve this result. Even if it will fall later, the super probability can still be maintained to more than 500,000 yen per store per day. It seems that customers'' brand recognition of 7-11 convenience stores is still extremely high! With this achievement, Fu Kai has the urge to immediately report to the chairman, but considering that it is early morning, he can only celebrate with the company employees. ... Compared with the celebration scene of Fu Kai and others, the atmosphere of Ito Yokado Convenience Store Co., Ltd. in Tokyo is very dull. The average daily turnover of convenience stores across the island is 573,000 yen. The maximum turnover of a single store is 872,000 yen. The average daily turnover of this single store is nearly 180,000 yen lower than that of the 7-11 brand period. That''s all, the most shocking thing is the statistics of those 100 stores in Tokyo and surrounding areas. The average daily turnover of a single store is 398,000 yen! The maximum turnover is 592,000 yen! Compared to before the brand change, the average daily turnover of a single store was cut in half! This turnover data is lower than that of Lawson convenience stores, FamilyMart convenience stores and other brands! Seeing this series of data, executives such as Toshifumi Suzuki and Sawano Kimura in the conference room were all creepy, and their expressions were extremely ugly. Suzuki Toshibumi, who was sitting at the top, looked cold, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen the revenue data. We have encountered the biggest crisis. Customers'' recognition of the 7-11 brand is even higher than we expected!" "Our customer visits to the store are also reduced by more than half!" "According to the observation of some employees of the company, the passenger flow of 7-11 convenience store is a lot higher than ours. Consumers just look at the brand and stand in line..." As Suzuki Toshifumi continued to talk, everyone in the conference room was not feeling happy. Many people clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, which was called aggrieved and dissatisfied. Most of them here are veterans who entered the company just a few years after its establishment. You must know that the 7-11 convenience store brand was created with great effort. How many activities did the company plan to shape the 7-11 convenience store brand? How much manpower, financial and material resources were spent? How many difficulties and crises have been dealt with? Many of them have always wanted to know consumers'' true recognition of the 7-11 convenience store brand, but there is no effective statistical method to determine it. And now they can finally realize it. If the 7-11 convenience store brand is still theirs, then they will definitely not sleep with excitement and pride. But now this "child" raised by oneself and others has been taken away by others and has become the most powerful weapon against oneself and others. How cruel and cruel it is! How proud and proud before, how heartache and suffocated now! So shameless! "Damn U.S. ghosts!" Finally, an executive couldn''t help cursing angrily. "Baga, bandit..." "..." One person started, and everyone else seemed to have found an outlet to vent their emotions, and shouted. Suzuki Toshiji sitting at the top is the most important place for order, but this time, he rarely left the restless meeting scene alone, letting it be messy. Had it not been for sitting in this position, he would have been just as ghoulish as everyone else. Five minutes later. The noisy voice gradually weakened. "Boom!" Feeling that everyone''s mood has improved, Suzuki Toshifumi tapped his finger **** the table to remind everyone. Everyone subconsciously sat up straight, the expression on their faces returned to normal again, and looked at Suzuki Toshifumi without squinting. "Everyone¡¯s emotions have vented a bit, but our company¡¯s crisis has not been resolved. If this crisis is not resolved as soon as possible, and 7-11 convenience stores have a firm foothold and continue to receive brand wealth, then our crisis will continue to increase. Big." "Now we have to figure out a solution right away!" As soon as Tofumi Suzuki finished speaking, Kimura Sawano, who was sitting next to him, got up and said: "President Suzuki, Zhukun, from the comparison between Tokyo area and other areas, we can intuitively see the difference." "In other places where there is no 7-11 convenience store, although we changed the brand, the data fell by about 25%, and this data is actually the most loyal customers to the 7-11 brand, because there is no 7-11 brands, they will not enter the store anymore!" "For these customers, no matter how well we do internally, they don¡¯t even enter the store and they can¡¯t see it. For this group, we must do a good job of publicity to let them know that we are the original 7-11. Convenience stores, as long as you come to our Ito Yokado convenience store, you can enjoy the same services and buy the same products as before." "Of course, we can''t be optimistic about the 75% of the customers left. Why can we keep 75% of the customers? We have to understand. One of the important reasons is that the 7-11 convenience store did not open. Near our stores, consumers enter our store without a choice." "These consumers have realized that our Ito Yokado convenience store is the original 7-11 convenience store, so there is a high probability that they will be retained." "Look at the 100 stores in Tokyo and nearby areas. There are 7-11 convenience stores nearby. Our customers have lost more than half." "The remaining less than half of our customers must also have random customers, as well as customers robbed from Lawson convenience stores, FamilyMart convenience stores and other stores." "If we don''t have the opening bargaining activities in the past three days, then we know that we will have fewer customers in the past, and our revenue data will definitely be less than now!" "What we need most now is time. We need enough time to transform our original loyal customers into customers loyal to the Ito Yokado brand!" "We have to let our original customers know that even if we are no longer 7-11, we have become Ito Yokado, but we are still the smell of their mothers after get off work or school, and they breathe on the side of the road when they return home late at night. Harbor, we are still the backbone of their emotions!" "What gives them memories and goodness is not the 7-11 brand on the surface, but our meticulous service and consistent enthusiasm!" At the end, Kimura Sawano exploded emotionally, raising his fist and shouting hysterically. "Papa......" There was a silence in the meeting room, and then after Suzuki Toshibumi took the lead, there was warm applause. Kimura Sawano''s eyes were red, and he blinked, then sat down again and said nothing. Fearing that some colleagues did not understand, Suzuki Toshifumi summarized Kimura Sawano''s words: "Kimura-kun¡¯s point of view is very correct. 7-11 convenience stores are very threatening to us, but they have a fatal weakness, that is, the stores are still relatively Little, they have not yet gained a firm foothold. It will take a long time for them to receive the brand value that we have spent ten years building." "And we also lack enough time to regroup the original customers under the Ito Yokado brand." As soon as Suzuki Toshibumi¡¯s voice fell, an executive stood up and expressed his opinion: "President, Zhujun, I have been to more than a dozen 7-11 convenience stores to observe on the spot. Although they are doing their best to provide services, they The quality of service is still not stable enough, which is the reason for the weak talent system and training system." "Fu Kai, the president of 7-11 convenience store in the island country, is a very capable person. I can open 100 convenience stores from scratch in just two months. I admire them very much, but their talent pool system Weakness is an indisputable fact. I have investigated that the current training center of the 7-11 convenience store is still operating at a high intensity. The time has been stepped up for recruitment and emergency training in order to expand as soon as possible." "I suggest starting from this aspect, delaying the expansion of 7-11 convenience stores and disrupting their deployment." "For example, digging in 7-11 convenience stores and digging up employees from their existing stores." ¡°We happen to have a store expansion plan. Although the quality of these people may not be able to meet our standards, even if two hundred people are recruited, the existing 7-11 convenience store will have major problems. Two hundred people are scattered among the old stores, and one or two old staff are replaced to the newly opened stores, so that our service quality will not have much impact." "Eguchi-kun is a good way, I agree." Some executives echoed the statement. Immediately afterwards, another executive stood up and expressed his opinion: "In addition to the weak talent reserve system, the commodity supply system of 7-11 convenience stores is also unstable. If we can interrupt their commodity supply system, Even if it is only a part of the interruption, consumers cannot buy their favorite products once or twice, so they will definitely be disappointed in the 7-11 convenience store and may switch to our store." "Convenience stores have two or three thousand types of goods. 7-11 convenience stores are the same as our store¡¯s suppliers. It is definitely not realistic for us to cut off their merchandise supply channels. But if we choose a part, based on our company''s size, It can still be done." "We can even let the parent company take the initiative. After all, in addition to our convenience stores, there are hypermarkets, supermarkets, discount stores, etc. under the parent company. Together, they will have a great influence on suppliers and oppress some of the supply. The merchant¡¯s out-of-stock of 7-11 convenience store is definitely possible." "Also, products such as fresh rice **** are urgently needed by consumers. Three meals a day are in demand by students and working staff. If some fresh food is cut off, it can hit 7-11 convenience stores to the greatest extent. " ... Faced with the coming crisis, everyone racked their brains to come up with solutions, but many of them were not operational. After a final discussion, they agreed to target 7-11 convenience stores from the two weaknesses of the talent supply system and the commodity supply system. At the same time, the brand marketing of Ito Yokado convenience store must be intensified. The most urgent thing is to increase media bombardment so that more consumers will know that the current 7-11 convenience store and the previous 7-11 convenience store The original 7-11 convenience store was renamed to Ito Yokado convenience store. The meeting lasted until 2:30 in the evening, when Toshifumi Suzuki announced the end. From this moment on, the crisis began to converge, and it hit the 7-11 convenience store quickly! v3 Chapter 1271: Qin loses its deer, the world is chasing it Latest website: The competition between Ito Yokado convenience store and 7-11 convenience store has attracted the attention of the entire convenience store industry in the island country. The former is actually the leading convenience store chain with the most stores. Except for the brand change, the operating system and management system are the same, and the combat effectiveness is still strong. Although the latter currently has only one hundred convenience stores, it can''t even enter the top ten in the island country''s convenience store industry, and the management system and management system are still in a running-in period, but it has the most famous brand in the island country. For first-class chain convenience store companies such as Lawson convenience stores, FamilyMart convenience stores, ministop convenience stores, daily convenience stores, Xinyiyi convenience stores, popular convenience stores, and convenience stores, these two have a huge threat. Especially in Tokyo and surrounding areas, the fierce competition between the two has made other convenience store companies intuitively feel the pressure. Lawson Convenience Store Co., Ltd., Tokyo. President Aoki Hao, who was originally the vice president of Daiei Group, the largest retail group in the island country, was appointed by the group in April 1975 to serve as the president of the newly formed subsidiary Lawson Convenience Store Co., Ltd. He has been the president for eight years. Time is up. With his efforts, Lawson convenience store is not as strong as the original 7-11 convenience store, but it has successfully squeezed into the top three in the island country convenience store field, ranking behind 7-11 convenience store and FamilyMart. Lawson convenience stores are actually based in the Kansai region of the island country, that is, in the past three years, after considering that the base is stable, it expanded to the Kanto region. As Tokyo is the core city in the Kanto region, Hao Aoki takes Tokyo as a must for the company''s expansion strategy. To this end, after obtaining approval from the parent company Daiei Group, Hao Aoki moved the corporate headquarters of Lawson Convenience Store Co., Ltd. to Tokyo. Over the past few years, there are a total of 75 Lawson convenience stores in Tokyo and surrounding areas. In terms of the number, they are no different from FamilyMart convenience stores, and the original 7-11 convenience stores (all later changed to Ito Yokado convenience stores) The gap has also narrowed. It''s just that the Lawson convenience store has just entered in recent years, but it has successfully established a foothold, and there is still a certain gap from the previous two in terms of passenger flow and revenue. To this end, Hao Aoki has repeatedly convened executives and think tanks to discuss, and used many methods to try to improve various data. It''s just that the Ito Yokado convenience store competes with 7-11 convenience stores in the past few days, and there are 100 more convenience stores in Tokyo, which has raised the overall market competition intensity by another level. The population within Tokyo fluctuates in that range, and consumer demand is almost constant. There are one hundred more convenience stores, and the two companies are also engaged in marketing. For companies such as Lawson convenience stores that do not do marketing, it is negative. The impact is self-evident. "In the three days from September 11th to 13th, the average daily sales of our 75 stores in the Tokyo area dropped by more than 20%. On the 14th, our sales rebounded, but compared with normal times , There is still a 11.3% drop..." "We must act!" "First, resolve the crisis we are currently facing." "Second, from this crisis, we have found opportunities to lead the company to a new level." At the high-level meeting, Hao Aoki gave a detailed introduction to the operating data of the recent days with a stern look and emphasized the theme of the meeting. "President, our sales of stores in the Tokyo area have fallen, but in other areas, our various operating data have generally increased. This part of customers must have been transferred from Ito Yokado convenience store." "I believe that the lost customers of Ito Yokado convenience store not only come to us, but other convenience store brands are also beneficiaries." "It is conceivable that the loss of Ito Yokado convenience store will never be small." "For so many years, Suzuki Toshifumi and others have been pressing on our heads. I think we must not give up the opportunity. We must focus on the Ito Yokado convenience store and take this opportunity to reach the top in one fell swoop." The only female executive in the venue stood up and proposed. But just as she sat down, another executive stood up and expressed a different view: "Ito Yokado convenience store is going to suppress, but I think we have to suppress 7-11 convenience stores first. This is the best opportunity. We absolutely must make great efforts to suppress it. It is best to let the 7-11 convenience store brand disappear in China." "I went to the field to investigate the operation of the 7-11 convenience store. This convenience store from Hong Kong, relying only on the 7-11 convenience store brand, can reach the single-store passenger flow that we have only had in the past six or seven years. This is undoubtedly very scary, showing that consumers have a high degree of recognition of the 7-11 convenience store brand." "Now that the 7-11 convenience store has not gained a foothold, Suzuki Toshifumi will definitely target the 7-11 convenience store. If we also suppress it, then the 7-11 convenience store is very likely to fall, even if it does not fall, It¡¯s impossible for them to expand quickly. The outflow of customers is the cake we can compete for." As soon as the voice was over, the manager in charge of the operation department put forward another opinion: "I have a different view. I don¡¯t think it is necessary to deliberately suppress 7-11 convenience stores, because even if we don¡¯t do it, Ito Yokado convenience store will do it. , And it will kill you. We don¡¯t need to focus on this, and also draw the hatred of 7-11 convenience stores." "Ito Yokado convenience store and 7-11 convenience store both have strong capital support behind them. It is extremely difficult and time-consuming to make both of them fall." "I always believe that what we should do best is to do ourselves well, as long as we do ourselves well, whether it is customers of Ito Yokado convenience store, 7-11 convenience store, or customers of other convenience stores, Our goal." "Whether it is Ito Yokado convenience store or 7-11 convenience store, there are huge shortcomings. As long as we develop a long-term effective marketing strategy, we will be able to attract new customers continuously." "Besides, I think now is the best time to expand. We should increase the pace of expansion..." ... At this time of crisis and opportunity coexisting, everyone was very excited and expressed their attitude in full swing. But in the end, the president Aoki Hao had more decision-making power, and after adding his personal thoughts, this meeting formed several action goals. The first one is to conduct a one-month marketing campaign to grab new customers and expand brand awareness. The second is to take the opportunity to expand. The main choice is to expand the location of the Lawson convenience store that has not yet been involved, but has the Ito Yokado convenience store to **** the lost customers of the Ito Yokado convenience store. The third is to take the opportunity to suppress Ito Yokado Convenience Store and carry out digging operations on it. After digging up the talents, they will be fully integrated with internal talents and assigned to ensure the stability of the operating system. The fourth, which is the pending action plan, is to crack down on 7-11 convenience stores. The reason why the focus on suppressing 7-11 convenience stores is listed as pending is to save resources and focus as much resources and energy on their own growth as possible. Anyway, after analysis, everyone thinks that Ito Yokado convenience store will definitely suppress 7-11 convenience stores. Even if Ito Yokado convenience store suffers, it will give priority to eliminating 7-11 convenience stores. Of course, if the analysis and judgment made a mistake, and the Ito Yokado convenience store did not suppress the 7-11 convenience store, then goodbye. At the end of the meeting, Hao Aoki also mentioned an extremely important thing, that is, the franchise period of Lawson convenience store. With the lessons learned from the 7-11 convenience store, it is impossible for them not to worry. So some time ago they sent someone to the United States to negotiate, but because the American Consolidati Food Company also knew what happened in the island and knew Hao Aoki. The eagerness of the others, so I want to take this opportunity to knock on the Lawson convenience store. This caused anxiety and suspicion among Aokihao and others. Lawson convenience stores, like 7-11 convenience stores, are imported from the United States. The parent company of the Island Lawson Convenience Store is the Daiei Group. This is a company that began to rise from a mom-and-pop store in 1957 and grew rapidly. In 1972, it surpassed Mitsukoshi Department Store and became the top retailer of the island country. Daei Group saw that the 7-11 convenience store introduced by Ito Yokado Group from the United States has a promising future, so it introduced Lawson convenience store from the United States a year and a half after 7-11 convenience store entered the island country. Lawson Convenience Store in the United States was formerly Lawson Milk Company. Like Southern Company, it all started with milk distribution, but the two distribution areas are different. The American Southern Company grew up in the southern state of Texas, and Rosen Milk Company''s base was Ohio in the central and eastern United States. This time the U.S. Southern Company¡¯s abrupt termination of the contract renewal caused heavy damage to the Ito Yokado Group. The brand that had been nurtured for ten years became someone else¡¯s wedding gown. The island country Daiei Group was very nervous after receiving the news, so it sent someone there immediately. United States. There is only one purpose, get permanent regional franchise right! Even Darong Group has made a backup plan Once the progress is not smooth, it will acquire Lawson Convenience Store as soon as possible, and even under special circumstances, it can purchase Consolidadi Foods, the parent company of Lawson Convenience Store. The company makes an acquisition. Anyway, this time the hidden dangers must be resolved! ... Lawson Convenience Store, the third largest in the industry, has taken actions. As the second largest Family Convenience store in the industry, the management did not miss this opportunity. Also after a meeting and discussion, a similar action plan was made. As for the convenience stores of other brands, there are more or less plans. For a while, the island country''s convenience store industry is under turbulent waves. As long as the ambitious companies are working hard, there is a "Qin loses its deer, and the world is chasing it". As the first "No. 1 Anti-King" 7-11 convenience store, it just got a firm foothold and ushered in the thunderous revenge of Ito Yokado Group. After receiving good news, Fu Kai, who had not been happy for two days, was overwhelmed by the bad news flying in like pieces of paper. v3 Chapter 1272: Come on, desperately! Latest website: "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" In the office, Fu Kai walked back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands on his back. A sudden knock on the door made him stop, turning his head and saying something to the door. When he saw Luo Zhiming coming in by pushing the door, Fu Kai frowned subconsciously. Luo Zhiming is a Japanese Chinese. He originally worked in Seibu Department Store. Later, he was hired by the Bright Fund. After an interview with Fu Kai, he entered the island country 7-11 convenience store chain company as the manager of the personnel department. Luo Zhiming''s ability is indeed very strong. Since his tenure, Fu Kai has not been disappointed. The talent management system of 7-11 convenience store can be set up in less than two months. Luo Zhiming has contributed. But just such a capable man has become the last person Fu Kai wants to see in these two days. Without him, just because he came is basically to bring bad news. really. As soon as Luo Zhiming came in, he reported the situation to Fu Kai solemnly: "President, now 36 employees have submitted resignation reports, of which 5 are store managers, all of whom are determined." "This is the list of employees who submitted resignation reports." After speaking, Luo Zhiming handed a document to Fu Kai. Fu Kai took it with a sullen face. After turning it over, he browsed it and said with a heavy heart: "Counting the last batch of reports that you reported, 84 employees have now submitted resignation reports, and 13 of them are store managers. !" "All employees responsible for sales..." "Yes." Luo Zhiming looked sad, nodded and said. Now there are only 100 7-Eleven convenience stores. According to the configuration of 5 employees in 24-hour convenience stores, there are 500 employees in 100 stores. But now only two days ago, one-sixth of the resignation reports are submitted, and 13 of them are store managers! Ordinary employees resign. It happened that even the store managers who had certain rights and high salaries applied to resign, which made Luo Zhiming very heartbroken. Every store manager is carefully selected and was definitely the backbone of the company when it first started. Random replacement can easily affect the management of the store, as well as the product sales and replenishment of the entire store behind. "Is it sure that Ito Yokado convenience store did it?" Fu Kai closed the document, looked at Luo Zhiming, and asked in a deep voice. Luo Zhiming nodded his head: "Ito Yokado Convenience Store did it. They didn''t deliberately hide it, so it quickly became clear." "Ito Yokado Convenience Store is like a mad dog. The entire personnel department is fully deployed to dig people. Just before I came, I received a call from a headhunting company and wanted to dig me away." "Now 84 employees have submitted resignation reports. I am worried that some employees will submit resignation reports later." "Press first, and not approve them at all. Even if they really want to leave, it will have to be delayed for a full month. Whoever dares to leave directly will be handled by the Legal Department." "In addition, these people are all blacklisted and will never be hired from now on!" Fu Kai''s eyes were sharp as a knife, and he said cruelly. According to the labor laws of island countries, regular employees can choose to resign, but they have to submit a resignation application report one month in advance. If the company¡¯s personnel department does not approve it within one month, they can resign directly. Otherwise, the company can apply for labor arbitration. If the company did not make a mistake, it will only be the employees. Luo Zhiming replied decisively: "I understand." After finishing speaking, Luo Zhiming said with a worried expression: "President, even if these employees do not resign temporarily, work efficiency will be severely reduced during this month, and it is easy to spoil the atmosphere of the entire company if you get along." "One more thing, if another employee applies for resignation in the future, then our current talent training system may not be able to carry it. Even if it is just added, it will seriously affect our original expansion plan." "This is not a way. I think that we can still treat others in the same way as others, and also dig people from their company." After speaking, Luo Zhiming couldn''t help showing a cruel expression. This was the method he thought of before coming, and he also thought of a feasible plan for digging people. Fu Kai nodded slightly and greeted Luo Zhiming to come to the sofa and sit down: "Zhiming, let''s sit down and tell me what you think." "Ok." After sitting down, Luo Zhiming clearly stated his thoughts under Fu Kai''s gaze: "President, in terms of the salary system, our salary level is slightly lower than that of 7-11 convenience store. This is also because we are a new company and Ito Yokado Convenience Store is an old company, so the salary level of employees is higher. high." "Our employees will be poached. In addition to other factors, attractive salary and benefits are the most important factors." "So I suggest that we raise the salary level higher than that of the Ito Yokado convenience store, so that employees have less desire to quit. If the enemy wants to dig people, they have to pay a greater price, and they will The salary system is causing shocks." "After taking self-protection measures, we dig out people from the Ito Yokado convenience store. They have nearly 5,000 employees in their sales system alone, and most of them are industry veterans. They can use it immediately if they dig in. , We have higher wages, and we should be able to dig and move." "However, for a store, the most important thing is the store manager. The store manager has the ability, and I am not afraid that the ability of ordinary store staff temporarily can''t keep up." "But if you want to dig a store manager, it is more difficult. For efficiency and success rate, I suggest specifically targeting the deputy positions of the Ito Yokado Convenience Store. Those people are not bad in ability. It''s just because of the Ito Yokado Convenience Store. It''s harder to get promoted when the full-time positions are full, and we can just provide them with a platform for their ability." "The most important thing is that even if Ito Yokado Convenience Store wants to retain those deputy positions, they are still powerless, because they do not have enough positions to make promises to these deputy positions, and they dare not raise the salary of the deputy positions." "Come here to get a promotion and raise salary, and stay there with nothing. I don''t think as long as we are not stupid, we will not refuse the olive branch we give. After listening to Luo Zhiming''s words, Fu Kai couldn''t help showing a smile, looked at Luo Zhiming appreciatively, and praised: "That''s right, the idea is very clear." Luo Zhiming smiled modestly. Fu Kai narrowed his smile, and after thinking for a moment, he told Luo Zhiming: "I will arrange the salary issue. I will let the finance department come up with a reasonable plan tomorrow at the latest." "But your side must now prepare for action and launch a full-scale digging operation on the Ito Yokado convenience store. Now that they have started, then we are taking advantage of this opportunity to accelerate the pace of expansion." "The store manager of Ito Yokado can dig if he can dig, and he can dig if he can''t dig, the deputy store manager." "For the employees of the administrative system, don¡¯t touch all the principals in those departments, and focus on digging for the most capable and experienced departmental deputy positions. People who are hired can be used by us at 1-2 levels. Our company is fully expanded, and some are given positions. they." "You have to make a preliminary plan, communicate with the marketing department, and discuss it at the meeting tomorrow." "Okay, please rest assured, I will definitely come up with the complete plan at the meeting tomorrow." Luo Zhiming replied solemnly. "it is good." "If it''s okay, go ahead." "Yes." Fu Kai breathed a sigh of relief and watched Luo Zhiming go out, but when Luo Zhiming just opened the door, he saw the marketing manager Hideji Yoshino and the purchasing manager Yoshida Tomohiro he was looking for. They just came to the door, watching them look hurried. Appearance, obviously something bad happened. Fu Kai also saw the two people who appeared. He just breathed a sigh of relief and raised his heart again. "Zhiming, don''t leave, come with Hideshi Yoshino and others." Under Fu Kai''s order, the three came to sit on the sofa. Fu Kai went straight to the subject and asked: "You two came together. Did something happen?" Yoshida and Hideshi looked at each other, and finally Yoshida said: "President, there is a problem with the company¡¯s product procurement. Many suppliers refuse to ship them temporarily. If we want to order, we need to wait a long time, the shortest It''s all three months!" "You asked the Purchasing Department to stock up all kinds of goods before, and the temporary inventory can last for a while, but some hot-selling goods will be sold out in half a month at most if the current situation remains unchanged." "These are only commodities with a certain shelf life, such as fresh food, some suppliers have stopped supplying them." After Tomo Yoshida finished speaking, Hideshi Yoshino added: "President, Yoshida-kun is right. Now some rice balls, sushi and other fresh food have been stopped. Tonight, the counter in the fresh food section of our store Many places will be vacated, which will have a great impact on us." Fresh food is a characteristic of the convenience store industry in the island country, and the variety is very rich, which can completely cover consumers'' three meals a day. For example, 5¡æ refrigerated products include sandwiches, salads, eggs, milk and so on. 20¡æ warm products include bento, rice balls, fresh bread and so on. There are also room temperature products, soft drinks, instant noodles, fried chicken burgers and so on. In order to ensure the freshness and taste as much as possible, refrigerated products and warm products are delivered three days a day. Yoshino said that some fresh food will be out of stock tonight, which is completely normal. A convenience store fresh food accounts for a high proportion of its turnover. Office workers, students and even housewives will buy fresh food such as rice **** and bento in the convenience store. If the supply of these commodities is cut off, the impact will be great. Think about a group of hungry consumers who come to a 7-11 convenience store and want to buy bento or rice **** for lunch, but find that they have not sold what they like, and there are not many other choices. Can consumers not be disappointed? The consequence of disappointment is to switch to another store! Once the 7-11 convenience store leaves a bad impression in the minds of consumers, it is over! Brands accumulated over the past ten years will collapse if you say they collapse! This problem is more serious than the problem of employees being dug reported by Luo Zhiming. When an employee applies for resignation, it can last a month. There is a shortage of goods, which is completely equivalent to a knife on the neck! v3 Chapter 1273: You do 1 at the beginning, I do 15! Latest URL: "How many types have been cut off?" Fu Kai hurriedly asked. Yingshi Yoshino handed the statistics table to Fu Kai, who immediately took it and looked at it carefully. Milk pudding, fresh milk, natto rolls, tuna rolls, salmon onion mayonnaise rolls, mackerel sushi, cod roe rice balls, assorted rice balls, Shuroku sushi, brown sugar sushi... A total of 38 fresh food products are out of supply! Among them, there are 32 types of rice balls, hand rolls, and sushi that can be used as staples! A total of 7 suppliers were involved in 38 fresh food commodities. There are only 14 kinds of staple foods such as rice balls, sushi and hand rolls left, which are so few! If consumers enter the store, there are not many choices. Moreover, for the remaining 14 fresh foods, it is difficult to say that there will be a few remaining, and it is difficult to guarantee that other suppliers will also cut off the supply. Because of this, Fu Kai''s expression was gloomy and dripping. "President, the reasons for the interruption of supply at various supply points have not been found out yet..." Hideshi Yoshino hasn''t finished. Fu Kai said in a deep voice, "No need to check, Ito Yokado convenience store did it." Hideshi Yoshino and Tomo Yoshida were taken aback. They didn''t expect the president to be so sure, but since the president knew who the enemy was, they saved them from investigating. Time is running out, and Fu Kai has no time to talk to Hideshi Yoshino and Tomoko Yoshida. He immediately ordered: "These 7 suppliers have already cut off the supply, so there is no need to waste time to recover, and immediately look for alternatives." "At the same time, all the remaining fresh food products will be discounted by 20%. The main promotion of the remaining fresh food is to display more of the same products, fill the shelves, and stabilize the remaining suppliers. Take the lead." "Tomo Yoshida, you do a good job of inventory statistics company for all products, and at the same time send someone to contact all suppliers, you must find out how many suppliers have interrupted cooperation with us." "Eishi Yoshino, there is one more important thing. You can connect with Manager Luo, and he will tell you the specifics." "Now I need to mobilize resources to solve the crisis." "Do you have any other questions?" The three shook their heads. "Now the company is in crisis, but it is absolutely impossible to break us down. You must manage the employees below to avoid unnecessary trouble..." After talking to Yoshida Zhi and others, after Fu Kai confirmed Xia Yu''s location by phone, he picked up the clothes and hurriedly left the Tokyo headquarters of the 7-11 convenience store chain. ... "Chairman, I''m sorry to disturb you again." When he saw Xia Yu, Fu Kai said ashamed. Xia Yu shook his head indifferently and motioned him to sit down on the opposite sofa: "It''s okay, sit down and say." "Having been looking for me in such a hurry, what happened?" Fu Kai took a deep breath and said, "Chairman, I''m here to ask you for help. The company has encountered a huge crisis. Ito Yokado convenience store counterattacked us." Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, his expression still calm, "Tell me carefully about the situation." "Chairman, just before coming..." Next, Fu Kai spent nearly ten minutes telling the situation, and at the same time gave Xia Yu the materials that Luo Zhiming, Yingshi Yoshino and others brought to him to report to him. After speaking, he waited nervously for Xia Yu''s reply. If it is said that Ito Yokado Group is digging people, he can still deal with it, and he will not report to the chairman Xia Yu. Then the crisis reported by Hideshi Yoshino, Tomoko Yoshida and others, wanted to solve it in a short time, he was powerless. So the first time, he thought of asking the chairman for help, asking the chairman to mobilize the resources of the consortium to help, otherwise it would not be impossible to solve it by his own words, but it would be very time consuming. But now 7-11 convenience store has just started, it is the most critical moment, time is the most precious! "I remember you told me last time that you are building an autonomous fresh and cooked food factory? How is the progress?" Xia Yu asked after putting down the materials. As far as he knows, in order to cope with different market demands from Hong Kong Island and to stabilize the fresh and cooked food supply system, Fu Kai creatively proposed to build a comprehensive fresh and cooked food factory by himself. With its own fresh and cooked food factory, there are many benefits. The most obvious is that the quality and taste of fresh and cooked food can be stabilized, followed by the ability to produce enough fresh and cooked food in time, and the cost is reduced... All in all, there are a lot of benefits. At that time, Xia Yu also liked Fu Kai''s creative ideas, so he was deeply impressed. Fu Kai lowered his head and said, "Chairman, the fresh and cooked food factory is under construction, but the plant has not been fully built and the staff has not been fully recruited." "I was negligent and didn''t pay enough attention to it." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and nodded slightly: "Okay, you can wake up yourself. There is no need to say more now, and don''t make similar mistakes in the future." "However, Ito Yokado convenience store''s methods are indeed very powerful, and all tricks are fatal, haha..." Hearing Xia Yu''s chuckle, Fu Kai''s nervousness was inexplicably loosened. Depending on the situation, the crisis faced by 7-11 convenience stores is not serious in the opinion of the chairman. "Your method of reverse digging is correct. I will let Korn Ferry Cooperate with you and dig for me fiercely. The pace of opening a store has also increased. Without the constraints of talents, it opened a thousand stores in the previous year. The speed is still too slow." "As long as the problem of commodity supply is solved, there is no problem." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he leaned on the back of the sofa and said with a faint smile: "Fu Kai, Ito Yokado Convenience Store uses its industry-leading advantage to cut off your supply. What do you plan to do and what assistance do you need?" Fu Kai lifted his spirits and said hurriedly: "Chairman, I have already figured out some solutions before coming." "The supply of regular products is cut off, and we will replace them with other brands of the same kind. Although it will have an impact, it is better than nothing." "If there are no suitable substitute products for some big brand products, then I am going to ask the brother company Wellcome Supermarket to help purchase them, and then secretly transfer the products to us. As long as the difficulties are overcome, the blockade should be lifted." "The brother company Wellcome is planning to enter the island market, and now the first store is about to open." "As for the fresh milk and dairy products in fresh and cooked food, I plan to ask the brother company Bright Dairy to help, and let Bright Dairy take this opportunity to enter the island market." "For other fresh and cooked foods, I have sent people to find suppliers who can replace them, but it will be more difficult, because the current fresh and cooked food suppliers, we are looking for the original ones who have cooperated with 7-11 convenience store brands for many years. Yes, some fresh foods are specially developed and produced according to the tastes of consumers. They are less sold in the market and the production is more difficult." "It will be difficult for us to find products of the same level and type for a while, unless we change other fresh and cooked food suppliers, change the taste and category, but such a big change will disappoint those loyal consumers..." Xia Yu quietly listened to Fu Kai''s narration. After he finished speaking, Xia Yu pondered for a long time and told Fu Kai: "The problem of fresh and cooked food is solved in this way. The fresh and cooked food that is still being supplied will be promoted according to the 20% discount you said, and consumers will be guided to buy those. For fresh and cooked food, it¡¯s convenient to flush the sales volume and stabilize the suppliers who have not left." "For other types, you can take some samples to Marco Polo Hotel in Tokyo and Mandarin Hotel Tokyo. The chefs of the two five-star hotels are competent enough, and there are a large number of chefs. I will temporarily help with emergency preparations. I will let someone arrange it. ." "Then you give me all the information of the original suppliers, and I will arrange to buy all these suppliers. Ito Yokado convenience store will do the first year of junior high school, and we will do the 15th!" "Trying to injure the enemy by one thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred, and you have to kill them!" "You have to make arrangements, expand as soon as possible, and don''t waste this opportunity." "In addition, the fresh and cooked food factory must be constructed 24 hours a day. After completion, all the fresh and cooked food suppliers acquired will be integrated into the fresh and cooked food factory for unified and standardized production, and this sign will stand up!" "Thank you, chairman, I will implement it immediately." Fu Kai was very pleasantly surprised and said very gratefully. At this moment, with the strong support of the chairman, he only felt full of power, and he wished to start working with Ito Yokado Group immediately. "Go, just call me and tell me anything, there''s no need to come here." "Ok." ... After Fu Kai left, Xia Yu sat on the sofa for a long time. Then he picked up the phone and called Yu Matsumoto of Jiuding Securities Co., asking him to adjust his plan to short Ito Yokado Group''s stock and further increase his short-selling efforts. At the same time, Matsumoto Yu mobilized manpower to prepare for offline acquisitions. Once you get the list provided by 7-11 convenience store, immediately launch the acquisition. The acquisition task must be completed within two days, at any cost! Losses are deducted from short-selling profits. After finishing the phone call with Matsumoto Yu, Xia Yu made another secret phone call and asked the people in Luowang to collect the business intelligence of the entire fresh and cooked food supply system of Ito Yokado Convenience Store. He couldn''t relax for a moment before he announced the end. Xia Yu was also annoyed by Ito Yokado convenience store''s use of Xia San''s competitive methods. Since Ito Yokado Convenience Store has opened its doors, Xia Yu certainly wants them to see what is not the darkest, only darker! He hasn''t been afraid of anyone by playing methods other than business rules! "Huh~" The error-free chapters of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will continue to be updated in the new book sea pavilion, there are no advertisements in the site, please also collect and recommend the new book sea pavilion! The most powerful hero who likes rebirth, please collect it: () The most powerful hero of rebirth has the fastest update speed. v3 Chapter 1274: General election situation Latest website: Convenience store¡¯s fresh and cooked food is delivered three times a day, which can be said to be delivered every eight hours. After all, this time is too tight. Even if Marco Polo Hotel and Mandarin Hotel are five-star hotels, each hotel has nearly a hundred chefs, and their cooking skills are not bad. However, it takes a certain amount of time to produce fresh food with the same taste. Although 7-11 convenience stores urgently adopted special discounts, many consumers are still disappointed by the sudden scarcity of categories. Suzuki Toshifumi is also a master at the overall situation, and he smashed the 7-11 convenience store''s out-of-stock situation to the media in order to attack the 7-11 convenience store brand. How much he cherished and maintained the brand of 7-11 convenience store before, now he has much hatred, and he can''t wait to immediately destroy this brand built by himself in the island country. As the island country¡¯s convenience store market was full of smoke, Xia Yu focused his attention on the island country¡¯s political arena. With the end of Nakasone Yasuhiro''s term getting closer, the island nation¡¯s political circles are becoming more and more turbulent, and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the opposition parties are already fighting bayonet. The incumbent is the Liberal Democratic Party in power. It was Kakuei Tanaka who led the charge. It''s just that Kakuei Tanaka has a veteran plan. This time he resigned as a member of the Diet and related positions in October. This incited conflicts between the ruling party and the opposition party, which caused serious divisions within the Congress, and the attitude was impossible. Unite. How serious is it? Congress is almost paralyzed, and it has been more than a month unable to pass the bill! This is extremely unfavorable for Nakasone Yasuhiro, who only took over from Suzuki Zenko and took over on November 27, 1982. He has just been in power for less than a year, and his effectiveness has not yet been demonstrated, and the reputation of the Liberal Democratic Party is also declining in recent years. For the next elections, he and the Liberal Democratic Party think tank behind have designed 19 administrative reforms. Bill. These bills are very important, and whether the bills can be passed is related to the foundation of their regime. But now the island nation¡¯s parliament is split up to the point of confrontation for the sake of confrontation. The opposition parties are uniting to overthrow the Liberal Democratic Party. Therefore, Congress simply cannot pass the bill. If we continue to delay, it will only be even more detrimental to the Liberal Democratic Party! So there is only one way before the Liberal Democrats, and that is compromise! The goal of compromise, Xia Yu has already learned, is to force the Liberal Democrats to dissolve the parliament and to vote as early as possible. According to the island nation¡¯s election regulations, after the dissolution of the House of Representatives, the Senate will be closed at the same time, and the congressional session will be terminated. The general election of the House of Representatives must be held within 40 days of the dissolution. The surprise attack by the opposition party has achieved great results, so the opposition party hopes to dissolve the Congress as soon as possible for the House of Representatives election, so that the Liberal Democrats will have less time to respond. Either the Congress continued to confront and drag, preventing the Liberal Democrats from passing 19 bills such as administrative reform, and finally held a general election in a hurry. Either the Liberal Democrats agreed to the demands of the opposition parties to open the general election as soon as possible. Anyway, no matter how you choose, the Liberal Democratic Party is the one that suffers. The key depends on how Nakasone and others think that the loss will be smaller! In order to get a clear understanding of the general election situation of Takesame and others, Xia Yu called Junping Hyuga, who was in charge of the single-line contact, to his home. ... "...Boss, this is the current situation of Nomura Securities." After Chunping Dayxiang clearly reported the company''s situation, he quietly waited for Xia Yu''s comments and instructions. "The overall situation of the company is not bad, continue to work hard." "Please rest assured, I will continue to work hard." Junpei Hyuga said modestly. "Ok!" "Tell me, how is the current campaign situation of Takejoden''s Founding Council?" "Boss, Takesami Nobuyuki just communicated with me the day before yesterday and applied for a batch of resources. Now he is doing the penultimate campaign to build momentum." "There was no announcement on the surface, but Takejoyoshi told me that the Founding Council has already had 12 current MPs, and 69 candidates for MPs have been gathered and cultivated." "Media resources and financial resources have been spent on 81 members in total, and the overall situation is pretty good..." As Junping Hyuga continued to tell, Xia Yu had a clear pattern in his mind. Takeshangden¡¯s ambitions are really great, and he did not hesitate to use resources. He pushed 81 people to participate in the election at one time. Compared with the first-class opposition party, he did not give too much! If it is done properly, as long as these 81 candidates can enter 20 people, it will be enough to greatly increase the influence of the Founding Council. If the number of parliamentarians is greater, then more can be expected. Although this caused serious resource consumption, I have to say that this fits Xia Yu''s appetite. If Takekami had no ambitions, Xia Yu would not choose to support him in the island country''s political arena. "Right now, the competition between the ruling party and the opposition party is particularly fierce. You must always understand the movements of Takejoyden, how much resources he wants, and provide him with all his strength. As long as he dares to mention, we will give it all!" "If nothing else, this term of the Liberal Democratic Party is likely to lose the election. The Liberal Democratic Party can only be forced to form a cabinet. You have to remind Takeuetook to prepare in advance. Once the Liberal Democratic Party fails in the election, you should contact Yasuhiro Nakasone immediately Making peace will eat all the benefits released by the Liberal Democrats." Based on the current situation, combined with the memories of previous lives, Xia Yu gave instructions to Junping Hyuga. I still remember the past life when the Liberal Democratic Party failed in the general election. Less than half of the seats in the House of Representatives did not have the right to form an independent cabinet. Yasuhiro Nakasone was forced to choose to cooperate with other parties to form a cabinet. The object of the previous joint cabinet formation was the weak New Freedom Club. After the two sides joined forces, the House of Representatives barely exceeded half of the seats, and Nakasone Yasuhiro was elected as the new prime minister. However, in the previous life, although the Liberal Democratic Party had less than half of the seats, it was close to half, and the New Liberal Club had very few seats. Yohei Kono could not get too much right to speak, and eventually only a small part of the rights in the new cabinet. . In this life, in order to see the results as soon as possible and expand the influence on the island nation¡¯s political arena, in Xia Yu¡¯s plan, Takegamito¡¯s Founding Council must replace the New Freedom Club. And to get as much power as possible in the new cabinet. To realize all of these visions, the Liberal Democrats must suffer even more losses, gain fewer seats in the House of Representatives, and create more seats! Now the opposition parties have joined forces to form the Liberal Democrats. Their purpose is only to grab more seats in the House of Representatives. They never imagined that the Liberal Democrats would fail in the general election. You know, the current Liberal Democratic Party was formed in 1955 by the merger of the two major conservative forces, the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party. When it comes to the number of party members, all other opposition parties combined are not as many as the Liberal Democratic Party! For 28 years, the Liberal Democrats have always dominated the world, and have never failed to form a joint cabinet in a general election. Once the Liberal Democratic Party fails in the general election and cannot form an independent cabinet, the founding council with the preliminary preparations will definitely get the first step. This is a time difference between money and money! "The election failed?" Junpei Hyuga heard this kind of remark for the first time, and it was from the boss of Yingmei Jinwu, which caused a huge shock to his mind. "Yes, there is a high probability that the election will fail!" "The Liberal Democrats must also fail!" Xia Yu said slowly, but his tone was very firm. His snare is not for dry food, and he is not bad at collecting intelligence on island political circles. UU Reading has grasped the deadly vitals of many Liberal Democratic Party members. In order to hit the Liberal Democratic Party as hard as possible, Xia Yu intends to inflict a fatal attack on some members of the Liberal Democratic Party at a critical moment and make them lose their election. However, there is no need to talk to Junpei Hyuga about these things, as long as he knows that the Liberal Democratic Party will definitely fail. Junping Hyuga''s gaze flickered, suppressing the shock in his heart, lowered his head and replied, "Boss, I will contact Takekamito to get him ready." "Ok." "The last month or so is very important. You must always pay attention to the situation of Zhu Shanghang. If there is an unexpected situation, report to me as soon as possible." "Yes!" ... PS: Today is New Year¡¯s Eve, and tomorrow will enter the bullish Year of the Ox. I wish all brothers and sisters great luck in the Year of the Ox, so bullish, all the best, and the family happy and healthy! v3 Chapter 1275: Average daily loss of 187 million Latest website: The business capabilities of the acquisition team of Jiuding Securities are beyond doubt. Xia Yu decided to complete the acquisition of eleven fresh and cooked food suppliers within two days, and complete the acquisition within two days. Among these eleven suppliers, in addition to the seven that discontinued the 7-11 convenience store, the other four suppliers did not participate in the discontinuation, but they were also strongly bought. It''s just that this kind of acquisition that relies purely on money has efficiency, but it costs more. Eleven fresh and cooked food suppliers, including Kuroki Cooking Company, Matsuno Sushi Company, Blue House Food Company, Kappa Cooking Company, and Tokubei Food Company, were all acquired at a cost of 16.74 billion yen. After completing the acquisition of these eleven fresh and cooked food suppliers, Jiuding Securities immediately transferred the ownership to the 7-11 convenience store. The crisis of food shortage in 7-11 convenience stores was lifted instantly, and there was no future trouble. But in this case, it is Ito Yokado convenience store that is uncomfortable. On the morning of November 18th, All Daily News and some newspapers all reported relevant news. "...Eleven fresh food suppliers such as Kuroki Restaurant, Matsuno Sushi, Aoya, Kappa Restaurant, Tokubei, etc., will terminate their cooperation with Ito Yokado convenience store and sign with 7-11 convenience store from today. Long-term supply agreement, if consumers buy goods of the above brands, please go to the 7-11 convenience store." "¤¹¤²¤¨!" Early in the morning, Hao Aoki, the president of Lawson Convenience Store, had just arrived at the company. When he flipped through the news on the "All Day News", he couldn''t help but exclaim. "It was completely unexpected. I thought that the 7-11 convenience store was able to mobilize food from a five-star hotel urgently. I didn''t expect their counterattack to come so quickly and so violently." "It''s really a strong opponent, it''s really different if it''s backed by a big consortium." After sighing, Aoki Hao''s face was full of solemnity. From this point alone, he can feel the horror of the 7-11 convenience store. He thinks in another way. If Lawson Convenience Store encounters this kind of crisis, it will be difficult for him to resolve the crisis within two days, and he will smoothly transition halfway. Of course, given the size of the Daiei Group behind the Lawson Convenience Store, no supplier would dare to do this unless they are willing to be the enemy of the island''s largest retail group. "Now it is Toshibumi Suzuki who is anxious, haha..." Aoki couldn''t help smiling, as if thinking of his old rival Suzuki Min''s desperate mood. "Although the 7-11 convenience store is a strong opponent, but now the Ito Yokado convenience store has suffered another heavy blow. Let''s implement it according to the original plan. We should do it too." After murmured, Hao Aoki immediately asked the secretary to notify all the executives of the meeting. ... The situation was exactly what Aoki had imagined. When Suzuki Toshifumi learned that his confession had been cut off, his whole person was furious, and he yelled at 7-11 convenience store in the office. Nearly a thousand Ito Yokado convenience stores have all fresh food cut off, and the impact is disastrous, much greater than the crisis encountered by 7-11 convenience stores! And there is no room for maneuver, it has been made public. Although the circulation of the "Janji Shimbun" is not as influential as the newspapers such as "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun", it is also a newspaper with a daily circulation of more than three million copies. Coupled with reports from other newspapers, I don''t know how many consumers knew about Ito Yokado at this moment. Some consumers even entered the store to verify the authenticity of the news. It is impossible for Suzuki Toshibumi to resolve this crisis immediately. The number of Ito Yokado Convenience Stores proud of increases the difficulty. On that day, the average daily turnover of Ito Yokado convenience store plummeted to 225,000 yen. In the next two days. The average daily sales of a single store were 204,000 yen and 197,000 yen respectively. It was not until the fourth day of the crisis that Toshifumi Suzuki solved the problem of fresh food supply in all stores. The solution is not a long-term solution, because he divides all the stores into areas, and then looks for local restaurants and suppliers of a certain size, so that they can provide fresh food. Just because it is not a unified supplier, the quality of fresh food is uneven, and the variety is not as rich as before. But it is better than no fresh food supply. As a result, the average daily turnover of Ito Yokado convenience store has finally rebounded, but it has not returned to the 300,000 yen mark, only 269,000 yen, and the gross profit margin of the single store¡¯s comprehensive merchandise has fallen. A bit. No way, in convenience stores, the turnover and gross profit of fresh and cooked food is terrible. In the 7-11 convenience store period, fresh food products accounted for more than 50% of the total gross profit! Because of the fresh food products, the sales of other products have been driven. The fresh food products of Ito Yokado Convenience Store are now fully rebranded, and almost all the customers who are keen to buy fresh food have been driven away. Suzuki Toshifumi did not breathe a sigh of relief, and new crises broke out one after another. First, Lawson Convenience Store announced the launch of a one-month promotion, and then FamilyMart and 7-11 convenience stores also announced a one-month promotion. The passenger flow and turnover of Ito Yokado Convenience Store just stabilized plummeted again, falling below 200,000 yen per day for a single store. But Suzuki Toshifumi and Ito Masatoshi hesitated to follow up. After thinking about it for two days, they saw that the situation was not good, so they could only grit their teeth to follow up and fight the price war. Toshifumi Suzuki, who has always claimed to retain customers with quality and absolutely no price war, slapped himself in the face. Even so, the revenue of Ito Yokado convenience store has only stabilized at around 200,000 yen, with relatively large fluctuations. As soon as the activity started, the company''s daily loss rose from 133 million yen to 187 million yen. The crisis does not stop there. 7-11 convenience store and Lawson convenience store also wielded hoes to dig people. In a short period of time, nearly 1,000 people from Ito Yokado convenience store applied for resignation. Among the nearly 1,000 people, 847 were dug by 7-11 convenience stores. Given the number of employees in the personnel department of the 7-11 convenience store, if you want to mobilize these 847 talents, you can''t sleep without rest. But with the full cooperation of a headhunting company such as Korn Ferry International Island Branch, it is not going too smoothly. The digging operation has not stopped. The resignation report still flew to the personnel department of Ito Yokado convenience store. Toshifumi Suzuki was struggling with this, but there was no good solution. He couldn''t provide higher positions and better salaries. With the current revenue of the Ito Yokado convenience store, it is already operating at a loss. Once the salary is increased, the entire company''s salary system will be affected. A person''s monthly salary plus 5,000 yen (equivalent to HK$140), the entire company More than 5,000 employees have to increase management costs by more than 27 million yen every month, which is more than 300 million a year! For people who want to quit and change jobs, a monthly salary plus 5,000 yen is a shit! If you move to a 7-11 convenience store, you can at least be promoted to one level. The salary of the same level of the 7-11 convenience store is higher than that of the Ito Yokado convenience store, not to mention the salary corresponding to the position with the least higher level. ? One-fifth of the employees applied for resignation, making the entire Ito Yokado Convenience Store more popular. The top people such as Toshifumi Suzuki wanted to suppress the discussion of the people below, but after working hard, they found that the effect was not great. Many department managers in the middle and lower levels have issued resignation reports, and they are upset. How can the team lead them? Unless these people who have applied for resignation are cleared out of the company as soon as possible, the consequence of the cleanup is that the strength of the 7-11 convenience store will rapidly increase, the expansion speed will be further accelerated, and the company will have major problems because the business is not completely handed over. No way, Suzuki Toshifumi can only press the resignation report from the human resources department, and then open recruitment on a large scale. One month passed in a flash of disturbance. It is worth mentioning that on November 28, UU Reading passed all the bills of the current Congress at the 100th (provisional) Congress of the island nation, but then, the opposition parties proposed to Congress. After the cabinet distrust bill, Yasuhiro Nakasone immediately announced the dissolution of the House of Representatives and discussed the general election agenda. On December 3, the cabinet of Yasuhiro Nakasone issued a complete election announcement. The election day for the House of Representatives election was set for December 18. Voting will start at 8 o''clock in the morning, and vote counting will start at 8 o''clock in the evening, and it will be in December. On the morning of the 19th, the results of the general election were announced in various places. So as soon as December entered, the intensity of competition in the general election skyrocketed by several levels, and all candidates from all sides used the largest resources to hold election activities. Major television stations, radio stations, newspapers, and other media are constantly bombing day and night. In the face of the general election, the fierce struggle in the island country''s convenience store industry was almost overwhelmed. Finally, it''s December 18th. With the dawn breaking through the darkness, the island nation''s House of Representatives election vote that has affected countless people''s minds finally began. v3 Chapter 1276: Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai! Latest website: On this day, all major TV stations are broadcasting news related to the House of Representatives election. On the other hand, Xia Yu used the NTV TV station he controlled to live broadcast to understand the general election situation. "According to statistics, the current House of Representatives elects a total of 1,342 people in 295 small constituencies across the country, plus the proportional representatives of 11 proportional constituencies across the country that will compete for 180 seats. A total of 1,554 candidates have signed up for the election. The total number of candidates for this election And the number of candidates in the small constituency set a record for the largest number of candidates, including 218 female candidates..." "In this House of Representatives election, there are 48,395 polling places nationwide to vote. Now we are voting at the polling office of Konan Elementary School, Minato Ward, Tokyo. As you can see, there has been a long queue... After eating breakfast, Xia Yu stayed at home and watched live TV leisurely. Although he has a thorough understanding of the island nation¡¯s House of Representatives election rules, it is interesting to take a look at the island nation¡¯s general election. From the beginning of voting in the morning, until 11 o''clock in the morning, the citizens of the whole island country who have voted can reach more than 10 million people. This turnout rate is much lower than the previous session. According to a survey conducted by a TV reporter, the reason turned out to be that many voters intend to wait and see for a while. In the afternoon, voters seemed to understand who to vote, and get together to vote. As of 8 o''clock in the evening, all polling places nationwide were closed for voting, and the exciting vote counting began. This evening, it was doomed that the leaders and candidates of all the political parties in the island nation could not sleep. Of course, media reporters across the country also work all night long. There are 295 electoral districts. Each electoral district''s vote count will be announced immediately. At least the seats in the small electoral district will determine the winners for the next four years. The party''s votes will be reported to Tokyo for statistics, and after the nationwide proportional representation votes are counted, 180 seats will be divided up based on the rate of votes. This night is destined to be a night of suffering, especially for the Liberal Democratic Party. Until the next morning, with the count of votes for the last small constituency in Tokyo, the entire House of Representatives election finally came to an end. After the results were announced, the entire island nation¡¯s political arena was shaken, and even the people talked about it. In the current House of Representatives election, a total of 64245685 voters voted, of which the Liberal Democratic Party received 28,484678 votes, and the total vote rate was only 44.34%. A total of 161 small constituencies were won, and the seat rate was 54.58%. The proportional representative got 18,432,087 votes, 28.69% of the votes, 53 seats, 29.44%. The Liberal Democratic Party won a total of 214 seats in the House of Representatives. The Liberal Democratic Party election has failed! Because based on 475 seats in the House of Representatives, more than half must reach 238 seats in order to be able to form an independent cabinet. The Liberal Democratic Party has only won 214 seats, which is 24 short of more than half of the seats in the independent cabinet! This gap is not small. When the major parties learned of this result, they were all pleasantly surprised, because the opportunity came! After the Liberal Democratic Party, the political parties that have won the number of seats in the House of Representatives are the Socialist Party 61, the Democratic Socialist Party 52, the Democratic Party 38, the Komei Party 35, the Founding Council 33, the total number of Japan 14, the Gerakan 8, the Friendship New Party 5, The Democratic Reform Federation has 3 seats and 12 seats for non-partisans. This year''s newly established Founding Council, led by Nobori Takeshang, won 33 seats in one fell swoop, ranking sixth in the entire election, and only two seats short of the fifth Komeito party! As a matter of course, Takekami, the current chief of the Tibetan minister and the head of the founding political council, has become a hot figure. The Liberal Democratic Party has only 214 seats in the House of Representatives. The independent cabinet formation has failed. If you want to form a cabinet, you must win over any one of the five major parties: the Socialist Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, the Komeito Party, and the Founding Council to form a cabinet. Of course, if 12 non-partisans, the Gerakan, the Friendship New Party, the Japanese Communist Party, and the Democratic Reform Federation are drawn into one part, and 24 seats are collected, a cabinet can be formed, but it will be extremely difficult. Among these multi-party forces, the Socialist Party, the Japanese Communist Party, and the Democratic Reform Federation are all reforming parties. They are ideologically opposed to the Liberal Democratic Party and advocate breaking the status quo and carrying out political, economic and social reforms. The Democratic Socialist Party, the Komeito Party, the Founding Council, and the Gerakan are regarded as middle parties. Among them, the Founding Council''s philosophy is biased towards maintaining and developing the current capitalist political and social system, but there are differences, and it is hoped to make some innovations. Then there are the Democratic Party and the New Friendly Party. These two parties are conservative parties and have the same stance as the Liberal Democratic Party. However, the Democratic Party and the New Friendly Party are formed by opposition parties that have split from the Liberal Democratic Party, and they have irreconcilable contradictions. Twelve people without party affiliation, most of them headed by Kakuei Tanaka, who withdrew from the Liberal Democratic Party, had some irreconcilable contradictions with Yasuhiro Nakasone. Moreover, this time the Liberal Democratic Party failed in the general election, and it has a deep relationship with Kakuei Tanaka. There are new and old hatreds between the two parties, which can be said to be irresolvable. All in all, the relationship among the various political parties in the island country is complex. But after the results of this election came out, the island nation¡¯s political arena suddenly surging. Different from the nervous Nakasone Yasuhiro, the Socialist Party, Democratic Socialist Party, Komeito Party and many other parties were all excited, as if they were seeing spring. In particular, the party leaders of the Socialist Party and the Democratic Socialist Party immediately convened the top leaders of their respective parties to conduct secret discussions. The purpose was very clear. They were ready to form a cabinet with other opposition parties to seize power and turn the Liberal Democratic Party into an opposition party! On this evening, Takejoyoshi also called all the members of the founding council to gather together. All 81 candidates for this general election were present. Of course, it cannot be said to be a candidate now, it should be said that it is 33 members of the House of Representatives and 48 former candidates. Although 48 members failed, 33 members succeeded. Among them, 12 original members were re-elected, and the other 21 members were newly promoted. This can be said to be a great success! Therefore, the whole venue was full of laughter and congratulations. "Well, let''s be quiet, let''s talk about the celebration later, let''s have a meeting now." The little Takegami Nobori stood at the top just after finishing talking, Obuchi Keizo, Hashimoto Ryotaro, Ozawa Ichiro, Haneda, Shiroku, Watanabe, Keiwa Okuda and others all calmed down and looked for Sit down in a position. "The meeting will begin now." "The general election in the House of Representatives is over. We have 33 seats in the House of Representatives. We have won a huge victory, but we can''t relax, because victory is only a phased one!" "Our ultimate goal is to gain enough power!" Takekamito''s words were very contagious, and while speaking with eloquence, he clenched his right hand and raised it, as if he was holding power in his hands. He continued: "In the next week, the competition will be extremely fierce. Here, I make two demands of everyone." "First, unity!" "Second, low-key!" "If you have any opinions and thoughts, you can mention them to me in private or at the meeting. No matter what the final result is, whoever gets the corresponding power and who doesn''t get it, the mentality must be stable and everyone must always believe One point, the ultimate goal of my decision and everyone¡¯s decision is to make our group stronger!" "Our sudden emergence has won so many seats in the House of Representatives, which is already very dazzling. At this sensitive time, everyone should be as low-key as possible and not talk nonsense to avoid causing trouble to our entire group." "We have already gained a huge initiative, and we just have to wait. The Liberal Democratic Party, the Socialist Party and other parties will definitely want to win over us." "Without our Founding Council, the opposition parties cannot successfully form a cabinet even if they all coalesce!" "As for the Liberal Democratic Party, we are the most suitable party to win, and Nakasone Yasuhiro will never turn a blind eye." "Everyone must have confidence in me. If I can lead you to victory in the first stage, you will be able to achieve greater victory in the second stage!" "Papa......" As soon as Takekamito finished speaking, Obuchi Keizo excitedly applauded, and immediately the whole scene burst into enthusiastic applause, prolonged... At the time of a secret meeting on Takejoto, after intense discussions on the Liberal Democratic Party, Yasuhiro Nakasone finally decided to try to win over his original good partner Takejoto. The Liberal Democratic Party''s choice was exactly the same as Takesamden expected. To be more precise, it is consistent with the situation of Xia Yu, who is strategizing behind the scenes! Next, whether the Founding Council can reach into the new cabinet of the island country, and how much power it can gain, depends on how Sone and Takeueto talked... v3 Chapter 1277: The lion has a big mouth Latest website: Xia Yu has been paying attention to the consultation between Takejototo and Yasuhiro Nakasone. Or to be more precise, it was Takejototo consider Xia Yu''s opinion very carefully. Of course, this opinion was informed to Takejototo through Junhei Hinata. Takejoto himself did not know that the person behind the scenes was Xia Yu. It''s not that Takejo Nobori doesn''t want to know who the whole group is behind Junpira Hyuga. He tried to inquire and investigate, but failed to learn the truth. But on the whole, the two parties and cooperation have been very happy, and Xia Yu has spared no effort in supporting him, so Takehime Den also let go of his concerns. After the end of the House of Representatives election, Junpian Day congratulated Takeueno as soon as possible. After the congratulations, he put forward some suggestions for taking the cabinet post. I hope that the latter will give full consideration, and the latter naturally agrees without hesitation. As far as Takekami and his founding council are concerned, no matter which party they are in charge of, they must obtain some cabinet minister positions. The founding council also has this strength to share the cake. At present, there are 19 cabinet ministers in the island cabinet. Although there are differences in power, the 18 posts other than the prime minister (prime minister) are not very different for the founding council. Each has real power. Since the allies behind them have specific needs, Takekami is naturally willing to listen to opinions and meet the expectations of allies. In order to maximize the benefits, on the evening of December 20, Takekami went home. In the face of Nakasone Yasuhiro who came with a gift, Takejoto, who has always been friendly to others, opened his mouth for the first time. He asked Nakasone for the Ministry of Finance (Finance), Ministry of Defense (National Defense), and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Agriculture). ), the Ministry of Transport (communication), the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the Ministry of Education (education). In addition, a requirement for the position of a deputy prime minister is attached. When he heard Takegami¡¯s offer, Yasuhiro Nakasone''s complexion turned black, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Takegami-kun, you don¡¯t seem to be willing to cooperate at all. Don¡¯t say I disagree, you The Liberal Democratic Party will never agree to the conditions." "Your Founding Council has 33 seats in the House of Representatives. If we cooperate, you will not even be able to get positions in three departments according to the proportion of seats in the House of Representatives." "But we are also old friends, and the cooperation in the past year has been very enjoyable, so as a show of sincerity, I can persuade other people in our party to give you three positions." Takekami Nori smiled, and slowly shook his head and said, "Nakasone-kun, let me ask you a question first. As the minister, how do I perform to the entire cabinet and to you?" For Nakasone Yasuhiro, there is only one answer to this question, and it must be affirmative, otherwise there is no way to talk about it next. Knowing that he answered, he would fall into a disadvantage, but Yasuhiro Nakasone could only bite the bullet and praised: "As we all know, Takekami-kun led the Ministry of Finance and made an indelible contribution to the development of the country. He also supports me very much. Thank you for your past efforts." "Thank you!" "Nakasone-kun, based on your understanding, can you find someone more suitable to be the chief minister than me in China?" Takejoyoshi accepted Nakasone''s flattery with a smile, and then raised another question. Yasuhiro Nakasone felt uncomfortable, but still shook his head affirmatively and said, "I haven''t found anyone more suitable than you for the time being." "Thank you." "So in fact, no matter which party will be in power in the next cabinet, aside from my other identity, I think I am a strong competitor for the Tibetan minister." Takekamito said confidently. Nakasone Yasuhiro nodded. "Nakasone-kun, the current situation is chaotic, but it is also very clear. I and others in the Founding Council have no ambitions for the position of Prime Minister, but others do." "The Socialist Party and the Democratic Socialist Party are all about the position of prime minister. They have already contacted me. With the strength of our founding council, as long as you join the opposition party, you can at least get positions in three departments." "And once the opposition parties really succeed in joint governance, the internal balance of multiple parties will be more beneficial to our founding of governance." "But the opposition party really succeeded in seizing power, so for the Liberal Democratic Party, there will be more and more troubles in the future." "Under such a situation, you think there are all three positions. Why should we stand on your side?" Takekami asked back, looking at Yasuhiro Nakasone with scorching eyes. The latter was silent for a long time, and then retorted: "Takegami-kun, with your offer, I believe that as long as I am willing to give it, other parties will agree to cooperate with us." Takejoto said with a smile: "Nakasone-kun, I also believe that other parties will be moved, but in terms of political stance and future threats, we are the most suitable party for cooperation." "Isn''t it?" "Working with us, I believe we will be very happy in the future, but if you are another party, you will have to keep guarding against it in the next few years..." Both of them are smart people, and Yasuhiro Nakasone and the Liberal Democratic Party behind them also took these factors into account, so they listed the Founding Council as the most suitable party for joint governance. The Liberal Democratic Party will definitely compromise, but Yasuhiro Nakasone will never agree to the conditions set by Takeueto. The price must be reduced! "Takegami-kun, as a sign of sincerity, I can promise that you will continue to serve as Minister of Tibet, and you will be the deputy prime minister. In addition, you will be given up to three positions, but you cannot accept the appointment." "In that case, I will take a step back and give me positions in the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in addition to the Minister of Tibet and Deputy Prime Minister." "No, the Ministry of Defense is absolutely impossible!" The Ministry of Defense is involved in the military. The interests and military influence in the military industry field involved are too great. The Mitsubishi Foundation and the Fuji Foundation behind the Liberal Democratic Party will never let go. Nakasone Yasuhiro knows that this position is useless even if he agrees. , The Liberal Democratic Party will never agree. "..." In the next hour, the two sides had a heated conversation. Of course, the talk was not completed in the end, but there was a rough shape. After Nakasone Yasuhiro left, he immediately convened the high-level Liberal Democratic Party to gather and inform the specific situation. In the following days, various forces continued to meet. The heads of the Socialist Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, and the Komeito Party have all sought secret consultations with Takekamito. One word to describe the island nation¡¯s political arena at this time is-chaos! There are two flowers and one branch each. Compared with the chaos in the island country¡¯s political circles, the situation in the island country¡¯s convenience store industry has gradually become clearer. In the past month, excluding the second-tier, third-rate and scattered convenience stores, the first-line convenience store brands, except for Ito Yokado convenience store, have gained a lot. In the past month or so, the number of Ito Yokado Convenience Stores has not been increased, and there are still 985 stores. But in the past month, the Ito Yokado convenience store has a net loss of 6.2 billion yen, a brain drain of 1,618 people, and a major change in the entire company. The average daily turnover of a single store finally stabilized at 208,000 yen, and the fresh and cooked food supply system was barely suitable after running in, which can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the situation. Although this situation is still bad for Suzuki Toshifumi, the daily loss is still as high as 100 million yen. Lawson convenience store opened 42 new convenience stores, FamilyMart opened 35 new convenience stores Daily convenience store opened 21 new convenience stores, and a new day convenience store opened 18 new convenience stores ... The business territory has expanded. But the most noticeable is the 7-11 convenience store. From a hundred stores, 220 stores were crazy expanded, raising the total number of stores to 320. The number of stores jumped to the fourth place in the industry, behind Ito Yokado convenience store, FamilyMart convenience store and Lawson convenience store. Most importantly, after successively cracking down on the containment measures of Ito Yokado convenience store, even if a large number of new stores were opened, the average daily revenue of a single store of 7-11 convenience store remained at about 584,000 yen. In addition, the fresh and cooked food factory of the 7-11 convenience store was also under rush to work day and night. It was fully completed on December 6, and the integration and production work was completed on December 21. With everything in place, with Xia Yu''s order, the long-planned snare delivered a fatal blow to the Ito Yokado convenience store. v3 Chapter 1278: Big comeback! Kill Ito Yokado! The latest website: early in the morning of December 24. "Tokyo Shimbun" reported a piece of news, the location of the news is not conspicuous, there are hundreds of words in the third page. On December 23, 2 people were hospitalized for food poisoning in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo. After vomiting and food analysis and testing, it was found that the patient had eaten food heavily contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus... This news didn''t attract many people''s attention at the beginning, and many people left it behind after reading it. But wait until December 25th, it''s different. There was a follow-up report on the "Tokyo Shimbun". This time, unlike yesterday, the news was placed prominently on the cover. Most importantly, the news has a hot spot. After interviews, two food-poisoned patients said that they both bought Matsuno Sushi at a newly opened 7-11 convenience store in Edogawa Ward early that morning, and one of them only drank milk. , One is only drinking water. The food contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus is sushi! With the daily circulation of nearly one million copies of the "Tokyo Shimbun", once this news was reported, it immediately aroused huge public attention. Major TV stations, radio stations, and newspapers have sent staff to the hospital where the patient is located for interviews. The 7-11 convenience store in the center of the storm and Matsuno Sushi jointly held a press conference, claiming that there will be no problems in the production, transportation and sales of sushi, and pointed out a doubt, why only two people have food poisoning, so The specific truth remains to be further investigated. After 7-11 convenience store and Matsuno Sushi''s remarks were reported on TV and radio, public opinion was full of noise, and consumers had opinions. The turnover and passenger flow of 7-11 convenience stores plummeted. After Suzuki Toshifumi learned the news, he laughed for several minutes. After suffering for more than a month, he broke out. Using the resources behind him, he accepted an interview with "TV TOKYO" and slammed 7-11 convenience stores. -11 There are problems with the management of the convenience store, and the attitude is also arrogant. If there is a problem, there is no responsibility and responsibility that the enterprise should have. He also emphasized that the cooperation between Ito Yokado Convenience Store and Matsuno Sushi for more than eight years has been no problem, but more than a month after 7-11 Convenience Store acquired Matsuno Sushi, there was a food safety issue, so... Suzuki Toshifumi¡¯s remarks had a huge negative impact on the 7-11 convenience store, but the sales of Ito Yokado convenience store rebounded sharply. This situation made Suzuki Toshifumi happy, and he slept well that night. But the next day. Just when many newspapers fell into trouble at the 7-11 convenience store, the cover news of the "All Day News" caused public outcry again. "Reverse! The 7-11 convenience store turned out to be the victim! ¡· First of all, this title is very popular. And the following detailed news content is even more exciting. According to the content, the two food poisoning patients were actually caught by public relations. They did not buy Matsuno sushi at the 7-11 convenience store on the morning of December 23, but Yamano at the Ito Yokado convenience store. Sushi. The reason why they will falsely accuse 7-11 convenience store in front of the media is because they accepted the sealing fee and false accusation fee from an employee of Ito Yokado Convenience Store, spilled dirty water on the 7-11 convenience store, and exposed it to the media . At the end of the news, it was written that "All Day News" has obtained real and reliable evidence, with recordings as evidence. The recordings have been handed over to the 7-11 convenience store and the police. At the same time, they will report to NTV TV station at 12:30 noon. Announced across the island. After seeing this news, Toshifumi Suzuki, who was still excited yesterday, panicked today. The news did not name which Ito Yokado convenience store, nor did it say which employee it was. So although Minfumi Suzuki was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he wanted to know the real situation immediately, but he could only investigate it urgently. Just before he had investigated the specific person, he got a bad news. The manager of the purchasing department of Edogawa Ward, Taketo Tsuruta, was tortured by the police from his home early this morning. The manager of the Ito Yokado convenience store next to Nishikasai Station in Edogawa Ward was also taken away by the police. This bad news directly smashed Suzuki Toshibumi almost fainted. The police tortured the person directly, undoubtedly confirming the authenticity of the report of "All Day News" from the side. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately sent someone to the police station, and then called Masatoshi Ito to report to him. But at this time, any of his actions were futile, and Xia Yu could not give him a chance to save. At 12:30 noon, the ratings of NTV TV station ranked first in the same period in Tokyo and second in the entire island. In the live broadcast of the TV station, a recording was played directly. The conversation objects in the recording were Taketo Tsuruta, the purchasing department manager of the Edogawa district of Ito Yokado convenience store, and Tetsuya Hasegawa, one of the patients. If there is no picture in the recording alone, it might be questioned. Immediately after the recording was played, there was a video interviewing Taketo Tsuruta and Tetsuya Hasegawa. In the video, both of them were in a bad state of mind. Taketo Tsuruta was interviewed at the police station. He confessed to the fact that he induced Hasegawa Tetsuya to slander the 7-11 convenience store. He also directly admitted that there was a problem with the food management of his convenience store, and it was not properly preserved. The destroyed overnight sushi is sold to consumers. The recording was recorded by Taketo Tsuruta. He personally admitted it to his face and explained it. The recording is for the convenience of asking the leaders for credit and for the company to pay the money. It¡¯s just that his recording pen was lost on the way home. I don¡¯t know who picked it up. Finally, he ran into the hands of "All Day News". He also said that he panicked when he noticed that the recording pen was lost yesterday afternoon. , I didn''t expect that today''s worries were fulfilled. At the end of his interview, he also looked guilty and regretful, expressing regret for his wrong behavior, and wanted to apologize to the 7-11 convenience store. And Hasegawa Tetsu was also interviewed in a hospital bed, but there were police guards beside him, and he himself admitted all the contents of the recording. After the NTV TV station reported, all the consumers who criticized the 7-11 convenience store were ashamed and angry, and felt that their IQ had been insulted. While feeling sorry for the 7-11 convenience store, they sent greater anger to Ito Yokado. Convenience store vents. In the afternoon, some consumers demonstrated under the headquarters building of Ito Yokado Convenience Store. Toshifumi Suzuki did not dare to show up. December 27th. In the news of NTV TV station, there is a 10-minute content that is eye-catching. The focus of the news is 7-11 convenience store''s large fresh food factory in Tokyo. This is a fresh and cooked food factory that can be visited and supervised by consumers up close. The entire factory is dust-free management. All employees need to be disinfected before entering. The interior of the factory is divided into areas to make different fresh and cooked foods. , To ensure a stable taste while also ensuring hygiene. The biggest highlight is that the entire factory is equipped with cameras without blind spots. In the hall of the factory, all cameras are connected to the huge display above. Everyone can view the whole process of food production through the cameras. In addition to cameras, there are also many factories specially equipped with glass. Consumers can watch the process of making fresh and cooked food through the glass in the corridors. Fu Kai, the president of 7-11 convenience store, said in an interview that 7-11 convenience store has invested heavily in building the island¡¯s first large-scale comprehensive fresh and cooked food factory in order to produce the best quality and most hygienic food. Provided to consumers who trust the 7-11 convenience store brand... Finally, he also mentioned the crisis that erupted before, saying that when the crisis broke out, although no evidence was obtained, he believed in the company''s employees and the company''s management system. Facts proved that the company''s employees did not live up to his trust. 7-11 convenience store will always be at the forefront of the convenience store field in the island country, adhering to the business philosophy of "innovation and diligence", creating a warm home for consumers, he also welcomes all consumers to supervise 7-11 convenience stores And suggestions... After the news was broadcast, the 7-11 convenience store brand was completely established. In particular, the pioneering work of a fully transparent fresh and cooked food factory has won the support of all consumers. The previous haze was wiped out, and the 7-11 convenience store has gained a large number of customers. The passenger flow and turnover of the store have retaliatedly increased, and the average daily turnover of a single store directly rushed to the height of 812,000 yen! Compared with the prosperous scene of the 7-11 convenience store, the Ito Yokado Convenience Store has become an object of competition for consumers to spurn. The passenger flow and turnover have plummeted. The Ito Yokado brand has a huge stain. Toshifumi Suzuki and Masatoshi Ito vomit blood with anger. Although they speculated that this was a self-directed and acted conspiracy of 7-11 convenience store, but the most important character was killed by Kento Tsuruta, and it was impossible for them to come back. If you want to use the same or similar methods to pit the 7-11 convenience store, it has the aura of a victim, and the owner is a transparent fresh food factory that accepts the supervision of the whole society. If the fresh and cooked food of the 7-11 convenience store is returned When something goes wrong, consumers will not believe it at first, and even actively suspect that they are taking revenge. In this competition that once affected the entire convenience store industry, 7-11 convenience stores are the biggest winner! The Ito Yokado Group, behind the Ito Yokado Convenience Store, had its share price plummeted as a result. Xia Yu¡¯s side shorted ahead of time and made a profit of 27.48 billion yen. Not only did it earn back the investment in the acquisition of 11 fresh food factories, but also An additional 10.74 billion yen was earned. Just when the 7-11 convenience store gained victory. The political chaos in the island country finally has a result The Liberal Democratic Party finally chose to form a cabinet with the Founding Council. The two parties have a total of 247 seats in the House of Representatives, more than half. The Liberal Democratic Party won the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. The position of the speaker is divided by the founding council. In the island cabinet, Yasuhiro Nakasone is still the Prime Minister (Prime Minister), and Takeuetoshi is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance). In addition, he has also obtained ministerial positions corresponding to the four provinces of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the Ministry of Education. The smoke bombs of the Minister of Defense, which were additionally proposed during the negotiation, provided a huge help for the Founding Council to obtain five ministerial positions. Although Nakasone Yasuhiro is a right-wing winger, Takejoe and his founding council are left-wing stances. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture (education) that Xia Yu values ??are controlled. This also provides great convenience and concrete results for the future book publishing field. , It takes time to test. On the eve of New Year''s Day in 1984, Xia Yu boarded his private jet, the Fengshen, and set off on his way home... v3 Chapter 1279: Towards 2 trillion Latest website: Returning to Xiangjiang, it is natural to be reunited with family members, to be with Li Qian and He Chaoqiong, and to visit and be visited. This afternoon, Xia Yu asked the servants to clean up the house again. Just half an hour after the house was cleaned up, he heard the sounds of cars outside the door. "It should be them." With a chuckle, Xia Yu took the initiative to walk out of the room, just in time to see Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong walking towards him with two gifts each. "A Yu, long time no see, I miss it!" "Lao Bao, Lao Huo, we haven''t seen each other for so long, and we are so different again." Xia Yu talked and laughed, personally accepted Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s gifts, and then passed them on to others. "Hey, it''s not like seeing outsiders, there''s no reason to have no hand in hand." "Haha, please inside!" "..." After talking and laughing for a while, a group of people entered the living room and took a seat. The servant immediately made tea and started making tea. "A Yu, your popularity in the island country has greatly increased our Hong Kong''s popularity. That''s a call to the wind and rain. We must learn from you." "Lao Bao is right. You may not know that you have been in the island country for the past six months. The fact that you slapped the giants of the island country has attracted everyone''s attention, and many people are studying and wanting to review it." "A Yu, you have to talk to us, and I will show off when I go back." As if Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong sang and talked about cross talk, Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. But Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are not outsiders after all, and some details can still be discussed. So Xia Yu slowly told about his experience in the island country. Before I knew it, an hour passed... "Wonderful and wonderful, A Yu deserves to be my outstanding person in Xiangjiang, and he can be a master of the world wherever he goes." After listening to Xia Yu''s account, Bao Yugang sighed and exclaimed. "Old Bao, I also have luck. If the Mitsui Consortium really comes to an end, I will have to peel off if I die. The reason why the Mitsui Consortium has repeatedly tolerated it is because the island country is too complicated and other consortiums are holding it back. ." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said. "You must have enough courage and insight to get a chestnut from the fire. Once twice is luck, and succeeding again is inevitable." Huo Yingdong didn''t dare to agree with Xia Yu''s statement and would not let him continue to be humble. "I found out that you guys are going to tout me so much that I can''t find North, right?" "Haha..." After everyone laughed, they no longer stuck to the content just now. After Xia Yu added some tea to him, Bao Yugang looked at Xia Yu and said, "A Yu, you have been away from Xiangjiang for so long. Xiangjiang''s economy and various aspects are booming. You should know that?" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he slightly nodded and said, "I know, I have done a general understanding after returning, and I also read the 1983 development report published by the Tiangang Government." In the past year, Hong Kong¡¯s politics and society are stable and harmonious, and both the economy and people¡¯s livelihood have been greatly improved. The Hong Kong government, which has no other minds, has greater financial freedom and has devoted resources and energy to development. There have been great changes in education, medical care, housing, transportation, public security, employment, etc., and social conflicts have been greatly eased. Of course, the most intuitive thing is that Xiangjiang''s economy has developed by leaps and bounds. In 1982, Hong Kong''s gross national product was 33.158 billion US dollars. But last year, the total gross national product soared to 45.874 billion US dollars, a growth rate of 38.35%! The growth rate was the highest in the past 9 years, which was more than two points lower than the growth rate in 1973. It''s just that although the GDP growth rate in 1973 was as high as 40.63%, it was because of the small base, which rose from 5.71 billion US dollars to 8.03 billion US dollars, only an increase of 2.32 billion US dollars. But last year, the gross national product increased by US$12.716 billion, which clearly shows the strong driving force for the economic development of Hong Kong. In fact, after Xiangjiang solved the political problems, the entire Southeast Asia and other international capitals could see the potential of Xiangjiang. The foundations of Xiangjiang were being strengthened, so that the siphon effect appeared, and it was completely out of the ordinary in the surrounding areas. In terms of the most representative financial sector. The annual trading volume of the two Hong Kong stock exchanges directly exceeded the trillion Hong Kong dollars scale, moving towards the two trillion Hong Kong dollars scale, and the futures market was even more terrifying than the stock market. Among them, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has attracted a large number of high-quality Southeast Asian companies to go public in Hong Kong in the past year. Together with the listing of local companies, the total number of listed companies in the entire stock market has reached 384. By the end of 1983, the stock market The total capital value is as high as 724.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, 250 trading days in the year, and the average daily transaction volume is as high as 3.13 billion Hong Kong dollars. When the market is closed on New Year''s Day at the end of the year, the latest Hang Seng Index is at 1856.4. The height of the Hang Seng Index alone has almost recovered to the height of the previous peak, and it is healthy and has great potential. After all, the Hong Kong stock market has changed from a creek to a river, which is quite different. The Xiangjiang Futures Exchange has successively launched international crude oil futures and other financial derivatives in the past year, all with great success. Last year, the annual trading volume of the futures exchange was as high as 1,145 billion Hong Kong dollars, with an average daily trading volume of 4.58 billion Hong Kong dollars. In more than a year, it has grown directly from an exchange that is about to fail to become the second place in Asia. Also because of the trillion-dollar futures trading volume, the HeungKong Commodity Exchange levied as much as 570 million Hong Kong dollars in handling fees throughout the year. It is also a tens of billions of giants. Of course, there are statistics showing that the prosperity of Hong Kong''s financial market is still dependent on the influx of foreign capital. According to statistics, in the past year, the inflow of foreign investment by HeungKong has reached US$24.43 billion, which is the peak figure in HeungKong''s history. Among them, the flow to the financial sector was as high as 19.84 billion US dollars, and the flow to other fields such as industry was 4.59 billion US dollars. Of this US$4.59 billion investment, more than US$3 billion has flowed into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. Various companies have sprung up there, many of which are companies related to the automobile industry. , There are branches of Tiangong Automobile Group and the giant Rolls-Royce Motor Group with an annual output of one million vehicles, like two golden mountains, attractive leveraging. ... "A Yu, you know it, then I won''t talk so much nonsense." "In fact, when we came here today, there is one very important thing to discuss with you, mainly to see your opinion." Bao Yugang said seriously. Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Old Bao, what is so formal?" Bao Yugang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You have contributed to Xiangjiang''s existence today. The Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park, the financial market, and other aspects are all driven by you. I don''t know how much effort has been spent. In the final analysis, although we and others have been A certain contribution, but not as good as the benefits." "In the past year you have been away from Xiangjiang most of the time. A lot of things have happened secretly in Xiangjiang, and these things have far-reaching impact." "Although Xiangjiang is becoming more and more prosperous now, with the influx of capital from outside, the forces have become more and more complex. The more people there are, the more chaotic the hearts of the people." Xia Yu frowned, he probably knew what Bao Yugang wanted to say. Although he has not been in Xiangjiang for a lot of time in the past year, his Jiuding Consortium has enveloped the entire Xiangjiang, and there is still an all-pervasive snare, so in fact he has always been well aware of the situation in Xiangjiang. The reason why he didn''t move much was that people lacked skills in the island country, and second, because everything was still under control, no matter what they did, he couldn''t make waves and he was confident that he could suppress it. But now that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong rushed over so eagerly, he also realized that there were some things standing in his own position without panic, but his allies would be worried. Thinking of this, Xia Yu said softly: "Old Bao, you mean they formed a clique and wanted to rebel?" v3 Chapter 1280: Consortium across Southeast Asia "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Bao Yugang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that even though Xia Yu was not in Xiangjiang, he could still grasp the situation, and their worries were unnecessary. It''s just that the word "rebellion" is used... aptly! It was Xia Yu who promoted Xiangjiang to build such a prosperous place, and his career is also the largest, which has penetrated all aspects of Xiangjiang. Xia Yu is the undisputed king of Xiangjiang. But it is precisely because Xia Yu''s power is too large, it is beyond the reach of the dust, and the pressure of competition between pursuers and opponents is huge. So with the influx of foreign capital, various groups have appeared. Outside of Hong Kong, there are British powers headed by the Rohill family, American capital, island powers, Australian consortia, and Southeast Asian powers. In the local area of ??Hong Kong, the original old-brand families, newly-emerging giants, etc. are held together. Of course there are also more complicated ones, such as the cooperation between the new and old local families and European and American capital, but more often use the local concepts to cooperate with Southeast Asian families. They held a group in order to shake the foundation of Xia Yu''s career empire, which is really no different from rebellion. "A Yu, it''s just the beginning. Most of them are still in the trial period and running-in period. Once they have a firm foothold, it will be dangerous if they unite again." "As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands!" "The tiger is also afraid of wolves!" Bao Yugang said earnestly. Huo Yingdong also shouted and said: "Yes, this time, the form of grouping is different from the past. Before, it was just a random partner. Now the competition is more intense. Their cooperation can be said to be an alliance and a consortium. " "I discussed with Lao Bao. The entire Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia are your strongest. If you are willing to raise your arms and shout, you will definitely gather to respond." After speaking, both of them looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, waiting for his attitude. To be honest, there is a common view among the elite class of Xiangjiang, that is, the stock **** Xia Yu is the first in strength, and then Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are second and third. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are also the kind of people with connections all over the world, both face and strength, a single person can bring a group of people to the entire consortium. Last year, many people tried their attitudes and wooed them, but neither of them expressed their views and maintained their original relationship and situation. The reason for this is to wait for Xia Yu to come back. If Xia Yu has an idea, they will definitely stand on Xia Yu''s side without hesitation. Xia Yu did not disappoint Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong''s two passionate allies. He nodded and said, "It''s indeed time that the peaches we have cultivated so hard have been robbed by others for no reason!" Hearing this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other and both smiled with relief. "A Yu, we are waiting for your words!" "I make you bother. I had thoughts before, but I didn''t do it before the time was right. It''s not too late." "It seems we are worrying for nothing, haha..." "By the way, A Yu, what are you going to do?" Faced with the two concerned eyes, Xia Yu showed a smile and slowly said: "Xiangjiang is our lair, we must be stable, but a Xiangjiang is too small, plus Omen is only a few million people. Water dragons cannot be raised in shallow water." "My plan, the first step is to occupy an absolute dominant position in Xiangjiang." "The second step is to use Xiangjiang''s core position to radiate the entire Southeast Asia. While other forces are staring at Xiangjiang, we will weave the entire Southeast Asia into a web!" "Southeast Asia?" Huo Yingdong was taken aback, frowning slightly, quite puzzled. "Yes, it''s Southeast Asia!" Xia Yu said affirmatively. "I understand a bit, you are planning to penetrate from top to bottom." After a while, a sudden color flashed in Huo Yingdong''s eyes. Just as Bao Yu heard Huo Yingdong''s words, his heart moved and he understood. "Well, Xiangjiang is still too small in the final analysis. It can only be used as a pyramid tip, just like New York is in the United States. We have to control the entire pyramid from top to bottom. Only in this way can it be stable for a long time." "I know many people say that I am very independent in business and like to eat alone, so I don''t have many friends, but they don''t take a mirror to look at themselves, are they eligible to be on the table?" "Now, it''s time to choose friends." "The entire Southeast Asia plus India has a population of more than one billion, of which tens of millions of Chinese talents. Although most of us Chinese live in the middle and upper classes of society, the indigenous base of other countries is still too large. We unite and win over local elites. In order to maintain control for a long time." "Only when we control the entire Southeast Asia, we have the qualifications and confidence to stand on top of the world and not be slaughtered by anyone!" Xia Yu said with a smile. "Then how are you going to start?" It was the first time for Bao Yugang to hear Xia Yu''s account of such a long-term plan. After being shocked, he hurriedly asked. Xia Yu thought about it for a while and said, "That''s what I think. I plan to divide it into three directions to create two organizations and one consortium." "Two organizations? One consortium?" "What about it?" "The consortium is very simple. It gathers qualified and like-minded friends from Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asian countries, and everyone makes progress together. I won''t say much about the specific content. You must all understand the consortium model." "The two organizations, said to be two, are actually one for the vast majority of people, but two for the very few within us." "A more secret organization, I mean the Yanhuang Association, with the goal of reviving my Yanhuang race and allowing my Chinese descendants to stand on top of the world again Members can only be descendants of our Yanhuang, and the admission criteria must be absolute strict!" "The other organization is tentatively named the Blue Star Club. The ultimate goal of this organization is to achieve "stability" in the world. However, the first stage is for the entire Southeast Asia. The target of membership is to have a great influence on society and can follow People in our unified camp, whether they are Chinese or indigenous, as long as they are willing to fall to us, they are allies." "Of course, in order to strengthen the rigor of the overall structure, the highest level of the Yanhuang Association is the highest level of the Blue Star Association, but the highest level of the Blue Star Association cannot be the highest level of the Yanhuang Association..." As Xia Yu slowly talked about his ideas, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong became more and more shocked by Xia Yu''s grand blueprint. However, thinking about the feasibility of this and the impact of success, the two of them couldn''t help but feel hot. "A Yu, are you planning to be like those organizations of the Freemasonry?" Suddenly, Bao Yugang''s heart moved and asked. Xia Yu nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes!" "Old Bao, you are right. Two fists are hard to beat four hands. Only when you stand in the same class can you win the competition." "At present, Southeast Asia is still a remote country, and the sight of Europe and the United States is mostly concentrated in developed countries. That is to say, our Xiangjiang is too dazzling to attract more attention." "Although Southeast Asia is underdeveloped now, it has this population base and does not lack a variety of resources. The potential is huge. It will be absolutely tempting to develop in the future. At that time, various organizations and consortia would be greedy." "We must now bring the most elite class together in advance. If we don''t do it, sooner or later, we will be drawn away by other organizations and forces. At that time, just a consortium across Southeast Asia will not be able to hold it." PS: Second more. ~: Solicit opinions "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! I checked the information all night and I was really irritable. Baidu Google Zhihu MBA Knowledge Network used it, but there was too little information about Southeast Asian countries. I am a good guy. In 1984, the political and capital patterns of Southeast Asian countries were too messy, and I even picked people. I can''t pick it out, I can''t write. Everyone is very knowledgeable, any ideas? In the Southeast Asian countries of Hong Kong Macau, who are eligible to be on the table? Who is suitable to be an ally with the protagonist? Please give me some pointers, I am anxious, I have not collected all the information, the map is changed, and I am stuck in despair (__) v3 Chapter 1281: Cooperative partner "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "Okay, A Yu, you have a gap in your chest. I fully support your ideas." "I am willing to be a pawn, what do you say I need to do?" Xia Yu smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don''t mention the pawn, you are all the core founders of organizations and consortia." "Haha..." "Then I will accept your love again." Bao Yugang couldn''t help laughing. "A Yu, I owe you enough, so I won''t mention the word of thanks. What do you want us to do?" Huo Yingdong sighed. Xia Yu also no longer polite, directly arranged the division of labor. "The charter of the consortium and organization, I will come up with a preliminary plan. These should not take long. The key is to screen out who is suitable." "I analyzed it. According to the degree of difficulty, it is actually best to establish a Southeast Asian consortium. As long as the Southeast Asian consortium is established, then the prototype of the Yanhuang Association will come out." "As for the Blue Star Club, it is not only the business sector, but also elites from all walks of life. The workload is huge. Fortunately, I have collected and researched information on Southeast Asian countries. My plan is to create one. When the backbone system comes out, this can be pushed a step further." "So the most urgent thing is to make up the Southeast Asian consortium." Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong nodded in agreement. "What are the filter criteria?" Huo Yingdong asked actively. "Except for countries in Southeast Asia that are still under severe control such as Myanmar and Cambodia, each country must select one or several families. The number depends on the country''s population and economic level, and needs to be considered comprehensively." "It''s not that it''s just a Chinese family, but a family that can benefit the Chinese, rather than colluding with the indigenous people and forgetting their ancestors." "In addition, we have to consider the industrial structure so that our consortium can cover all walks of life after its establishment, and our internal competitive pressure should be as small as possible. Two families that are too opposed, even if they are similar in strength, only take One." "For the time being, do you have any other comments to add?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. The two didn''t answer immediately, and fell into deep thought one after another. After a long time, they shook their heads and said no. "No other comments, support." "I also support." "Then it''s for the time being. We made a list for the two days, and then we met and screened it again." Xia Yu immediately decided. "Great!" ... After the agreement, the creation of the consortium became the most important thing for the three. Xia Yu is better, after all, he has preliminary preparations. one more. His Jiuding think tank has conducted more and more in-depth research on world politics and business in the past two years, especially the countries surrounding Xiangjiang are the key research observation objects. He just pointed to a country, and the think tank can quickly come up with the necessary information. The history of the rise of a family is the most basic thing. Information on social status, political and business contacts, and enemies are all sorted out. Not to mention getting to the bottom of the sky, but you can also confidently say that the control of a certain family''s information can be ranked first. Compared with Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are more difficult to screen. Fortunately, they all have the advantage of age, and they are well-informed. Many families have already understood the situation. Two busy days passed in a flash. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong took advantage of the night to come to Xia Yu''s home again. After a brief greeting, the three of them all took out their own list and exchanged a look. When He Hongshen''s name appeared on the list of Huo Yingdong''s list, then the Ma family of the three major families of Omen also appeared, but the Cui family, whom his niece married, appeared. Xia Yu was slightly stunned and couldn''t help but raise his head and glance at Huo Yingdong. Seeing that the latter didn''t notice, Xia Yu lowered his head and looked at it again. After reading the list recommended by the two, Xia Yu had a good idea. Generally speaking, the objects recommended by Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong overlap with most of his, but there are some differences. "Everyone has read it, and if they recommend it together, just skip it and discuss the differences one by one." Seeing that Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang had finished watching, Xia Yu said with a light smile. "No problem, that starts with Omen." "Row." "Except for He Hongshen, Lao Bao and I recommended the He family, and Lao Huo recommended the Ma family, starting with these two families." "Old Huo, you first talk about your reasons." Under the gaze of Xia Yu and Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong explained his reasons: "I thought about it this way before. The three major families of Omen are all integrated with politics and business. Although the Cui family is the oldest, The biggest pillar is the construction industry. The value of alliances is not great. Although the He family has the strongest strength, it is not as strong as the Ma family in politics. Therefore, comprehensive consideration is given to recommending the Ma family." The He family of the three major families of Omen was not He Hongshen, but the He family from the mainland during the war. He Hongshen came from the He family of Xiangjiang. Although He Hongshen is very strong in business, it is not enough to give another He''s shoes politically, but who makes He Chaoqiong have something to do with Xia Yu? So Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong didn''t even think about it, they wrote He Hongshen, even if Huo Yingdong had a bad relationship with He Hongshen. The Omen¡¯s family, even if they started from scratch, grew up on the Dafeng Silver account established by the Ma¡¯s family. In the end, they controlled the Dafeng Silver account and set foot in hotels, real estate companies, bus companies, water companies, Petroleum companies, etc., surpassed Majia in strength. Although the He family has a strong relationship with the mainland, it is still inferior to the Ma family. The two sons of the Ma family¡¯s head are both in universities in the mainland, and the second child even married the Rong family¡¯s daughter. In the minds of the mainland, the Ma family is to Omen what Huo Yingdong is to Xiangjiang, and this is the status. "Old Bao, how about you?" After Huo Yingdong finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang smiled and said: "I didn''t think about it as complicated as Lao Huo, because the He family has the strongest commercial strength. We are forming a consortium, and strength is the most important." Huo Yingdong''s eyes flickered, thinking of the key point, could not help shaking his head and smiling. Before Xia Yu could explain his reasons, he said directly: "I think too much, so I change my attitude, so I can do it." Xia Yu said with a smile: "Lao Huo, the Ma family has low commercial potential, otherwise the He family will not overtake him." "The Majiajin Consortium is not suitable, but it would be very suitable to join Yanhuang." "I know." "Then Omen are two Hos, no problem, where is the next one?" Huo Yingdong said freely. "Let''s Xiangjiang, the difference here is the biggest." "I''ll come first this time!" ... Regarding the selection of Xiangjiang''s objects, the difference is indeed the biggest. Who makes Xiangjiang the most densely populated Chinese family? After discussion, the controversial Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Wang Dehui, Lin Baixin, and Zhuang Siping were all excluded. It is not that Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, and Wang Dehui are not strong, but because these three major industries are real estate, even if Xia Yu and the three have jointly suppressed real estate in recent years, they have not let them stop. The reason why Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang recommended them is because of their strong strength and strong capital flow, they want to bring them back, find their way, and reduce the pressure of jointly suppressing land prices. But both of them were convinced by Xia Yu. The reason is simple. Li Zhaoji also engages in real estate, but after seeing them collectively suppress real estate in the past two years, he actively seeks changes. Although the real estate industry is still engaged in, it is mainly engaged in commercial real estate. The real estate business has been reduced. Other industries Investment is increasing. Compared with Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Wang Dehui and others, the gap is obvious. Therefore, Li Zhaoji passed all three votes and was listed as an alliance object. In the end, in addition to the three of them, Xiangjiang also wooed Hu Yingxiang, Li Zhaoji and Dong, only six. Other veteran families, as well as Zhang Yuliang''s family, Li Jiacheng, Cao''s family, etc., did not even have a vote because of the reasons that they had already held each other together or for other reasons. These people, some people will definitely enter the Yanhuang Association in the future, such as Zhuang Siping. If there are people who have not even entered the Yanhuang Association, then there will be no face and relationship in the future competition and confrontation. All by means! In addition to Xiangjiang and Omen. Thailand has elected Xie Guomin family, Zheng Xinping family, Huang Ziming family and Chen family. Malaysia elected two families, namely the Kuok Henian family and the Li Laisheng family. The reason why Malaysia''s Chinese population is second only to Thailand ranks second in Southeast Asia, but the country with a high proportion of Chinese in Thailand only selected two families. That''s because the Star City surrounded by Malaysia selected the Chiu Deba family, the Li Guangqian family, and the Guo Fangfeng family. Although these three families are gathered in Star City, their companies have penetrated Malaysia and their influence is not low. In general terms, Malaysia has elected five families, one more than Thailand. Indonesia has elected the three families of the Huang Huizhong brothers, the Xie Jianlong family, and the Huang Yicong family. The Philippines selected the only Chinese consortium among the three established consortia, the Xu family, and also selected Chen Yongzai, who is currently second only to the Xu family. Although there are some contradictions between the two, it is just right in the long run. . Other countries, such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, at this time, the social form is not suitable for capital survival, so there is not a large Chinese family that has emerged. It is ok to raise one by one, but it is not strong enough to become the first Southeast Asian consortium. creator. The remaining Brunei, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, was completely independent on January 1 this year, and could not dive out of the dragon, not to mention the fact that the local Chinese in the resource sector did not have the turn to get involved, and it was given by Brunei Sudan, Britain and the United States. Occupies most of it. In fact, in Southeast Asia, there is another family that is extremely powerful, and it can even be said that the first Chinese in Southeast Asia is the Lin Shaoliang family in Indonesia, known as the "Rockefeller of Asia". Bao Yugang was recommended, but Xia Yu gave it to PASS. The reason is just a matter of position. Xia Yu didn''t want to be friends with him! PS: Thank you for your opinions. Some have been adopted, but some have been passed after checking the information. Do you think the current object is reasonable? v3 Chapter 1282: Trouble with Timeless Jewels "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! In the end, Xiangjiang has six families including Xia Yu, two families in Omen, two families in Malaysia, four families in Thailand, three families in Star City, three families in Indonesia, and two families in the Philippines. There are 22 families in total! According to the analysis of the three, no family should be stupid enough to refuse to join this group. Then the three divided the division of responsibilities. Xia Yu is responsible for connecting with He Hongshen, Qiu Deba, Li Laisheng, Li Zhaoji, Xie Guomin Family and Xie Jianlong Family. Bao Yugang is responsible for connecting Hu Yingxiang, Dong family, Chen family, Zheng Xinping family, Huang Ziming family and Guo Fangfeng family. Huo Yingdong has one more task, responsible for docking the Omen He family, the Li Guangqian family, the Huang Huizhong family, the Huang Yicong family, the Guo Henian family, the Xu family and the Chen Yongzai family. For Xia Yu, Qiu Deba and Li Laisheng are both partners, and they can easily pull them over. Not to mention He Hongshen. Li Zhaoji''s words require a little work. The Xie Jianlong family in Indonesia is the largest sales of automobiles and spare parts in Indonesia and an important partner of Xia Yu Tiangong Automobile Group. The shallowest relationship is undoubtedly the Xie Guomin family in Thailand, and the intersection is not large. However, Xia Yu was confident that Xie Guomin would definitely accept his invitation. Of course, the first person Xia Yu chose to win over was Li Zhaoji, who was also in Xiangjiang. ... The meeting place was placed on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel. Li Zhaoji was surprised when he received Xia Yu''s invitation abruptly. He sat in the office for a long time to think about Xia Yu''s true purpose. In the past two years, he has had very little interaction with Xia Yu, and the relationship has been farther, so when he received Xia Yu''s invitation, his first thought was whether he had something that Xia Yu needed. As a result, after thinking about it for a long time, I sorted out all of his assets, and didn''t think about what assets Xia Yu would be interested in. After night fell, Li Zhaoji went to the appointment with full of doubts. When he came to the top floor, he found Xia Yu was watching the night of Victoria Harbour. The colorful and colorful light show adds a dreamy color to the Victoria Harbour at night. "Mr. Xia, good evening, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." "It''s not too late, it''s not yet the agreed time, and I just arrived." While talking, Xia Yu and Li Zhaoji shook hands and greeted each other, and the distance between the two narrowed. "Mr. Xia, I have to say that this "Symphony of Lights" created by your company has just appeared as a bright business card for Xiangjiang. The passenger flow on both sides of Victoria Harbour has risen a lot every night, and I have benefited. Many, thank you so much." Li Zhaoji walked to the side with Xia Yu, looking at the shining "Symphony of Lights", couldn''t help but exclaimed. This "Symphony of Lights" is the last time Xia Yu accompanied Elena, Sandy and others to dinner here, and immediately informed Huo Jianning of the idea and let him implement it. It took a lot of resources and a long time, and it was not officially completed until the end of November 1983. Although Xia Yu didn''t return to Xiangjiang at that time, because he talked with Li Qian and He Chaoqiong on the phone every day, he naturally learned of the trend and positive influence brought by Xiangjiang after the appearance of "Symphony of Lights". What Li Zhaoji said is true. The merchants on both sides of the Victoria Harbour must really thank Xia Yu. "Mr. Li has a good reputation. The tourism industry is a major strategic development direction for Xiangjiang. This is the consensus of everyone. The''Symphony of Lights'' can be built quickly, and it is inseparable from the support of the Hong Kong government and everyone. I am alone. , Still not enough." "In this turbulent era, it is not a long time to fight alone. Only cooperation and win-win is the long-term way." "Did you say so?" Xia Yu said, turning his head, smiling at Li Zhaoji. Li Zhaoji''s expression moved slightly, and he secretly chewed the meaning of Xia Yu''s words. "Mr. Xia is right, cooperation is the long-term solution." He smiled and shouted. Xia Yu smiled and invited Li Zhaoji to the table: "Mr. Li, let''s sit down and talk about the present and the future. It involves Xiangjiang and also us." "After you!" Li Zhaoji made a gesture of please and said that he must ask Xia Yu to sit down before he sat opposite Xia Yu. "Mr. Li, I just came back from the island country. Do you know what I think when I come back?" Li Zhaoji''s eyes condensed, and his face shook his head solemnly and said, "I wish to hear the details!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and said softly: "First, Xiangjiang''s development is getting better and better." "Secondly, the competition in Xiangjiang is getting fiercer." Li Zhaoji pondered for a moment, then nodded his head appreciatively, and agreed with Xia Yu''s opinion: "Mr. Xia is absolutely right. Now Xiangjiang''s business is better and harder to do." "Yes it is." "So we have to plan ahead and establish a stable order at this time so that Xiangjiang will become more and more prosperous under our plan. What do you think?" Xia Yu finished with a faint smile, looking at Li Zhaoji calmly with a star-like starry gaze. Li Zhaoji finally moved his face at this time. A shocking thought emerged in his heart, and he asked anxiously: "Mr. Xia, are you planning to restore order in Xiangjiang?" Under Li Zhaoji''s gaze, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "It''s Xiangjiang, not just Xiangjiang. My eyes are on the entire Southeast Asia." "Mr. Li, are you interested?" Li Zhaoji nodded without hesitation and said, "You must be interested!" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly, and he said with a chuckle: "Mr. Li really didn''t disappoint me, then I won''t go around." "Now the undercurrent of the Xiangjiang River is surging, and the big families and forces are in a group, I can''t ignore it." "You probably know about my character, or don''t do it, do it for your best." "I intend to unite friends with strength and standpoint to build a large regional consortium spanning Hong Kong, Macau and the entire Southeast Asia. We will work together for mutual benefit and win-win results, and create brilliance together!" After the true purpose was fully revealed, Rao Li Zhaoji was prepared, but he was still restrained by Xia Yu''s ambition. But after the shock, the first thought in his mind was to join. Therefore, he said without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, I am willing to join!" Xia Yu was surprised by Li Zhaoji''s decisiveness, and then he laughed: "Your decisiveness made me unexpected. Thank you for your trust in me." After speaking, Xia Yu took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand to Li Zhaoji. The latter immediately got up and shook hands with Xia Yu, and also naturally praised Xia Yu. UU reading www. uukanshu.com "Mr. Xia, you don''t know anything about it. If you talk about the most anticipated partner of Xiangjiang, it is you. It is my honor to be able to cooperate with you in depth! "Haha, Mr. Li has a good reputation, let''s sit down and talk, there is no need to be so polite." "Ok." "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, do you have any details about the Southeast Asian consortium? Who else will join?" "Including me, there will be 22 founding families in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. You will know the details later." "You are the first person I find after Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong." "In addition to us, Xiangjiang has two other people who are eligible to join." When Li Zhaoji was happy, he couldn''t help but feel awe-inspiring. He didn''t expect that so few people from Xiangjiang could join. But the presence of the three giants Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong is enough to rampage in Xiangjiang, and his ability to join in is definitely a huge opportunity. With this idea, Li Zhaoji''s heart became more enthusiastic. Next, the two enjoyed a hearty dinner while chatting together. One night, Li Zhaoji, the strongest of the other three, was dealt with, which made Xia Yu feel gratified. The next day, he sent out invitations to Qiu Deba, Li Laisheng, Xie Guomin and Xie Jianlong, and invited them to meet at Xiangjiang. The time was staggered. With Xia Yu''s current status, there is no need for him to come to persuade others in person, just wait at home. But when Xia Yu planned to build the consortium as soon as possible, he learned that He Chaoqiong was in trouble. To be precise, the Eternal Jewelry Company, which she ran, was in trouble. Eternal Jewelry''s jade and diamond procurement except for the problem! And it''s artificial... v3 Chapter 1283: Chow Tai Fook stabbed 2 times "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Eternal Jewellery Company is now the jewellery company in Hong Kong second only to Chow Tai Fook. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, the predecessor of Eternal Jewelry Company, is still far from Chow Tai Fook. However, after being acquired by Xia Yu and reorganized into Eternal Jewelry Company, Eternal Jewelry Company has developed by leaps and bounds with its huge consortium resources. Today, in terms of sales, the gap between Eternal Jewellery and Chow Tai Fook has been within 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Especially after May 1983, after He Chaoqiong became the president of Eternal Jewelry. Under Xia Yu''s signal, the resources of the Jiuding Consortium were slightly tilted towards Eternal Jewelry. The employees of the company, under the leadership of the former president Zhou Hexuan, fully cooperated with He Chaoqiong and accelerated the pace of expansion. In terms of the number of stores, Eternal Jewelry achieved overtake at the end of 1983. Although there is still a gap between the turnover of a single store and Chow Tai Fook, according to the development speed demonstrated by Eternal Jewelry Company, the position of Chow Tai Fook''s leading jewelry company is in jeopardy. Many gossip media gave He Chaoqiong the reputation of "Queen of Jewelry". With the titles of "Queen of Jewelry" and "Gambling King''s Daughter", He Chaoqiong is well-known in Hong Kong and Macau. But now, the noble and glamorous "jewelry queen" in the mind of outsiders, at this time, is like a docile sheep, leaning on Xia Yu, completely unable to see the temperament that a glamorous female president should have. Seeing Xia Yu reading the Eternal Jewelry Company''s annual report intently, He Chaoqiong showed a knowing smile on his face, his eyes gradually lost in thought. She hasn''t been alone with Xia Yu for a long time... At this time, Xia Yu also learned the details of the company through the annual development report of Eternal Jewelry Company, and through the comparison of various data in the report, he also knew the details of the Xiangjiang jewelry industry. There are thousands of large and small gold houses in Hong Kong, among which there are four in the first echelon, which are called "the four major gold houses in Xiangjiang" by the media. The boss is Chow Tai Fook, who is owned by Sha Dantong, the head of New World Development. The annual turnover last year was HK$2.45 billion. The second child is Eternal Jewelry, with a turnover of HK$2.43 billion last year. The third child is Chow Sang Sang Group, with a turnover of 2.04 billion Hong Kong dollars last year. The fourth child is King Fook Jewellery & Gold Co., Ltd., and there is a big gap from the first three. Last year, the turnover was 660 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to these four major gold houses, there is a very bright company in the Hong Kong jewelry industry, that is Xie Ruilin Jewelry. Its development momentum is amazing. It is very willing to spend money on advertising. It is the largest in the jewelry industry in addition to Eternal Jewelry. client. In terms of net profit, Eternal Jewelry Company last year was 238 million Hong Kong dollars. ... With a turnover of 2.43 billion Hong Kong dollars and a net profit of 238 million Hong Kong dollars, Eternal Jewelry Company is not listed. If it is listed, it is absolutely eligible to be included in the Hang Seng Index. Of course, this result is only last year. At the beginning of this year, the eternal jewelry company''s road to hegemony cast a shadow. The revenue of Eternal Jewelry Company is divided into three parts, namely gemstones led by diamonds, jade led by emeralds, and precious metals led by gold. Among them, the sales of diamond jewelry accounted for the largest proportion, followed by gold jewelry, and then the emerald jewelry that was focused on sales. Jade Jewelry can be said that He Chaoqiong''s key project after entering Eternal Jewelry has been heavily advertised and revenue growth has been extremely fast. However, the supply of raw materials for diamonds and jadeite has gone wrong. Both of them do not have problems at the same time, but the time interval between problems is relatively short. Let me talk about jade and the jade industry of Hong Kong. The world''s jadeite producing areas are Myanmar, island countries, Guatemala, the United States, Colombia, Mexico, Kazakhstan and other places. However, only Burmese jade has reached the gem level, and the rest can only be made as handicrafts, which cannot meet the processing requirements. However, European and American countries have not received the baptism of Chinese culture, and cannot appreciate jadeite. But in Southeast Asia, where the Chinese are densely populated, the market for jade has always existed. Especially after entering 1980, the economic development of Southeast Asia accelerated, and the demand for jade increased a lot. Especially the rapid economic development of Taiwan Province caused many people in Taiwan to buy and collect jade in large quantities. On the mainland side, after 49 years, the jewelry consumer market has gradually disappeared. In 56 years of public-private partnership, a large number of factories and jewelry shops were merged, and many masters returned to their hometowns. At that time, the domestic market for jadeite in mainland China was basically zero. However, it has been more than five years since the reform and opening up. Some bold people in the mainland have become rich. The love of jade in the bones of Chinese people has made many wealthy people start playing with jade again. The shape of the jade market in the mainland can be seen from the sales of Eternal Jewelry in Pengcheng. anyway. At the beginning, there was a problem with the raw material supply of jadeite, and He Chaoqiong was not alert, just treating it as normal. The reason for this is that the jade raw materials of Eternal Jewelry Company are all purchased from Yangon, Myanmar. The upstream supplier is the Kachin Independence Army in northern Myanmar, because the Pagan controlled by the Kachin Independence Army is the most important in Myanmar. In the concentrated mining area, 95% of the jade in Myanmar comes from here. But the Kachin Independence Army has been suppressed by the Burmese government. If the Kachin Independence Army wants to turn jade into money to buy arms, it has to pass through the Burmese government''s control area and secretly transport it to Yangon or Chiang Mai, Thailand for sale. In this process, life and death conflicts broke out frequently. In 1970, a huge jade was dug out in the area controlled by the Kachin Independence Army. The Burmese government army dispatched a large number of armored vehicles and tanks to **** the jade. The unwilling Kachin Independence Army used a rocket launcher to break the jade on the way back to Yangon. Soldiers and people nearby swarmed to pick it up, and many people became rich as a result. It is precisely because of the huge uncertainty in the mining and transportation of emeralds that the sales dates of Yangon merchants cooperating with the Kachin Independence Army also fluctuate frequently. For this reason, Eternal Jewelry Company will prepare as many rough jade stones as possible to ensure that it will not be out of stock. But over time, as the jade in the warehouse was continuously being consumed, and there was no progress on the Myanmar side, an investigation revealed that the Myanmar government had carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Kachin Independence Army, and strictly blocked the channels. The Kachin Independence Army was severed. In this way, this jade procurement channel of Zhi Yongheng Jewelry Company is hopeless in a short time. It is difficult to say how long it will take to reopen and whether there is any possibility of recovery! Therefore, He Chaoqiong hurriedly asked the company to find other jade and jade dealers to purchase, but these dealers were almost supported by the Myanmar government. The previous customers were also very stable, and there was no excessive share of jade for Eternal Jewellery. Of course, there are also human factors, that is, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry does not purchase jade and jade from merchants supported by the Kachin Independence Army, but seeks stability, and has been cooperating with merchants supported by the Myanmar government many years ago. This time, I learned that Eternal Jewelry Company¡¯s jade channel had a problem, and took advantage of the situation to suppress it and spent more funds to support the consumption of excess jade, and none of it was passed to Eternal Jewelry Company. That''s all. Among the purchasers of diamond raw materials, UU Reading Chow Tai Fook Jewelry also took advantage of the situation to suppress Eternal Jewelry Company. Today, more than 80% of the world diamond market is monopolized by the international diamond trading company DTC. Before DTC was reorganized, it was the central sales agency of the De Beers Group. In 1973, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery became one of DTC''s 125 international authoritative diamond dealers and the only diamond buyer on the list. But later, Zhou Shengsheng and Yongheng Jewelry also entered the list successively and obtained purchasing qualifications. DTC''s diamond placement model is to hold a dealer purchase meeting every six weeks. In the latest one, Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang were both qualified, but Eternal Jewelry Company did not receive an invitation. Eternal Jewelry Company asked DTC about the reasons, and the feedback was that Eternal Jewelry¡¯s sales disrupted the diamond market price and violated relevant regulations, so the cooperation qualification was temporarily cancelled. However, after the bidding meeting was over, I found out in detail that Chow Tai Fook¡¯s procurement scale almost doubled this time, which is equivalent to eating up the original quota for Eternal Jewelry Company! According to the reasoning logic of "who makes the most profit, who is the instigator", this time must be the ghost of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. As for how Chow Tai Fook Jewellery persuaded DTC, it is unclear. The important thing is that Eternal Jewelry Company has very little jade and diamond raw materials left. If it is not added as soon as possible, it will face a huge crisis. Forever Jewelry Company now sells better and less time is given to the company to deal with it, and the sooner the crisis will break out. He Chaoqiong wanted to solve it by himself, but under the persuasion of the more experienced Zhou Hexuan, He Chaoqiong chose to ask Xia Yu for help. So today, Xia Yu came to Eternal Jewelry Company... v3 Chapter 1284: Heishui International goes out! "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "Chao Qiong, you did a great job, and it didn''t disappoint me. Under your leadership, the company embarked on a road of rapid development." After putting down the report, Xia Yu said with a smile in his eyes. He Chaoqiong''s heart was overjoyed by Xia Yu''s praise, but her face just showed a smile, and she collapsed again. "A Yu, don''t praise me deliberately." "Under my management, the company still has such a big problem, and it can only be solved by you." "A Yu, am I very useless?" Just because he cared, he gave back trouble to Xia Yu, who was always wise, and He Chaoqiong was very frustrated. "how could be?" "you are already awesome." "This problem is no longer normal commercial competition. It is the enemy''s use of off-the-shelf tactics, plus uncontrollable accidents have occurred, which can''t be solved by other people." "Only I can solve the whole Xiangjiang." After Xia Yu comforted He Chaoqiong, he said solemnly. "Puff chuff~" He Chaoqiong was amused by Xia Yu''s appearance, but immediately felt that he was not smiling enough to be a lady. He immediately pursed his mouth, leaned against Xia Yu, and said softly: "Yes, my A Yu is the best." Xia Yu smiled and said warmly, "Chao Qiong, don''t worry about this. I will take care of the supply of goods. You can continue to operate as usual." "Chow Tai Fook has stocked so many diamonds and jade materials, and they have to sell them for money. The backlog of funds makes them uncomfortable." "When I have solved the supply, I will give you some ideas and promise to beat Chow Tai Fook in one fell swoop!" "Hmm!" He Chaoqiong nodded obediently, with boundless expectations rising in his heart. At this moment, all the worries and worries that had enveloped her were wiped out, and she was completely relieved. "By the way, Chao Qiong, I am going to visit your house in the past few days. Will you go back early or stay with me?" "Huh? Go to my house?" He Chaoqiong was caught off guard by Xia Yu''s sudden words. After reacting, she was filled with joy and hurriedly said: "I''ll go back with you." "Okay, let''s go together." ... Visiting He Hongshen before the Spring Festival is out of courtesy. After all, He Chaoqiong has been following Xia Yu so namelessly. Xia Yu has to show something, even his attitude. Perhaps because Xia Yu handed over the Eternal Jewelry Company to He Chaoqiong, He Hongshen and Lan Qiongying had a better attitude towards Xia Yu than before. Secondly, Xia Yu also sent out an invitation to He Hongshen, learning that Xia Yu was preparing to form a Southeast Asian consortium, He Hongshen agreed without hesitation and thanked Xia Yu repeatedly. After staying in He''s house for a day, Xia Yu returned to Xiangjiang with He Chaoqiong. Two days later. A thick pile of intelligence was presented to Xia Yu. This pile of intelligence consists of two parts, one part is called by the net, and the other part is handed over by Blackwater International. The contents of the investigation are all about the Kachin Independence Army and jade resources, as well as De Beers and diamond resources. The Kachin Independence Army, first established on February 5, 1961, is an armed force of the Kachin Liberation Organization based on the Panglong Agreement to achieve the separation of Kachin State from the Union of Myanmar. The Kachin Independence Army is one of the largest ethnic autonomous armed forces in the Union of Myanmar and one of the strongest ethnic autonomous armed forces in northern Myanmar. The favorable terrain of the dense mountains and dense forests in northern Myanmar and the tradition of the Kachin people¡¯s heroic warfare are the capital of its survival and development. . In the 1960s, the Kachin Independence Army put forward the slogan of independence and nation-building, which can be said to be one of the most troublesome ethnic armed forces of the Union of Myanmar government. The largest producing area of ??Burmese jadeite, Pakant, is indeed controlled by the Kachin Independence Army, but it is faced with the fact that the mines cannot be sold, and it is difficult to buy weapons if they can be sold, and it is difficult to transport them back to Kachin. Bang¡¯s dilemma. Intelligence shows that the Kachin Independence Army is extremely short of weapons and ammunition, and the weapons that are often ordered to buy have accidents on the way and cannot be safely delivered to Kachin State. In the field of diamonds, De Beers now dominates. Most of the world¡¯s diamonds are produced in Africa, especially South Africa and Botswana. South Africa is where De Beers started. Botswana¡¯s now known large mines are all in the hands of De Swana Diamond Co., Ltd., a company established in 1969 and jointly controlled by the Botswana government and De Beers Group. Of course, the African continent is rich in resources, and South Africa and Botswana are now the main diamond producing areas. Yes, it does not mean that other countries have no diamonds. It''s just that the diamond mines in other countries and regions are relatively small, and the diamonds produced are basically purchased by De Beers branches in various countries. Xia Yu discovered that in his previous life and those of the more famous diamond producers, they have not yet appeared. Many world-famous diamond mines have not yet been discovered and mined. This is definitely a huge opportunity. However, these diamond mines know that they want to mine. It is a long-term thing to mine. Far can''t quench the near thirst. The top priority is to get a sufficient share of diamond embryos. Buy from companies other than De Beers, yes, but the key is that the average quality is not as good as De Beers. If this is the case, then you can only find a way by yourself. It just so happens that his Blackwater International has been active in Africa for several years, and it is time to play a role! Armed force, weapons, and US dollars are all available in Blackwater International. Unbelief cannot change the pattern of the diamond field in Africa! After receiving Xia Yu''s instructions, Kevin Okasi, the president of Blackwater International, immediately deployed them, and then proceeded separately. ... Like the Burmese government, the Kachin Army often undergoes mutiny due to power disputes. In 1975, there was a disagreement between the three brothers of Zao Dan, all three were killed, and then Bronson was elected to the top. Bronson has a relatively high level of leadership skills. Since he took office, the contradictions within the Kachin Independence Army have been reduced a lot, and the overall situation is relatively stable. As a result, he has accumulated a lot of prestige and his position has become more stable. . Only last year was encircled by the Burmese government, which caused the Kachin Independence Army to suffer relatively large losses. In addition, in December last year, the Kachin Independence Army paid US$2 million for the purchase of weapons. However, the incident caused the failure to receive the goods, which caused financial losses. huge. This series of events caused Bronson to suffer a great blow, and his will was somewhat depressed. On this day, a message from the people below made Bronson refreshed. Later, he came to the reception room and saw a big white man with a burly stature. According to his subordinates, he was informed in advance that the white man was named Tyron Black and came from the United States. Bronson''s heart was shocked when he saw Tylen Black''s first glance. This is the breath of a soldier! When he shook hands with Tyron Black, he felt the thick calluses on his palms, and thoughts came to his mind. "Mr. Black, welcome to Kachin State!" "Nice to meet you, Mr. Bronson!" "Please sit down!" "Thank you!" After sitting down with each other, Bronson asked: "Mr. Black, you are the first American to come to our place in the past few years. You take the liberty to ask, what is your purpose?" Tyronn Black smiled and said, "I''m here to do business with you." Bronson subconsciously said: "Is it arms?" Tyronn Black shook his head slightly: "No, it''s a jade business!" Bronson was a little disappointed, and then he noticed something was wrong, frowned and asked, "Mr. Black, we have jade, but I really don¡¯t remember the United States and Europe. Are you interested in jade?" "Ha ha!" "Do you still have to manage what customers buy jade for?" Tyron Black chuckled, UU reading asked rhetorically. "When I came, I learned that your army was ambushed by the Burmese government army, and even the sales channels for jadeite were cut off. Am I right?" Bronson frowned and said calmly: "This kind of thing has happened frequently in the past two decades. We have become accustomed to it. We will open up channels after a while." Seeing Bronson''s stiff mouth, Tyron Black shrugged: "Well, it seems that your army doesn''t need me as a big customer. I am here by mistake. I should go to Chiang Mai instead of coming here with the bite of a poisonous insect. ." After that, Tyronn Black got up suddenly and planned to go out. Tyronn Black''s unreasonable playing style of cards made Bronson unexpected. He knew that Tyronn Black wanted to take the initiative in the negotiation. But no way, his family knew what happened to him, he didn''t bluff Tyron Bronson. It would be a pity to let him go. "Mr. Black, please stay!" "I think we can sit down again and have a good talk." Tyronn Black paused, then looked back at Bronson for a few seconds before showing a smile and returning to his seat. "Mr. Black, how many emeralds do you want?" "I want all the emeralds your army has!" "Now and in the future, I want it!" Tyron Black opened his mouth and said proudly, which directly scared Bronson. "All?" Bronson took a deep breath and confirmed again. "Yes!" "It''s all!" "The agreement must be signed, and those who violate the contract will receive severe punishment!" After Tyronn Black finished speaking, he looked at Bronson without flinching. v3 Chapter 1285: Sales of more than $10 billion "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "I can''t promise you, and no one else will agree!" Looking at Tyron Black for a long time, Bronson said slowly. He didn''t understand Tyron Black, the American who suddenly appeared. Although it is speculated that he has a US military background, this is not enough for him to surrender his economic lifeline. In fact, in addition to those illegal commodities, the trade of jadeite ore is the biggest source of income for the Kachin Independence Army. They also need to sell jade to get money and then buy weapons to support the great cause of the nation. How can it be easily given to others. But Tyronn Black also anticipated Bronson''s reaction. His chips hadn''t been thrown out yet. He didn''t believe Bronson could resist the temptation. "Mr. Bronson, don''t refuse so fast, it''s never too late to refuse after hearing my terms." "Speaking!" Bronson lifted his spirits and looked at Tyron Black with scorching eyes. "You have huge risks and unstable factors in selling jadeite. After you have sold it, you have to obtain funds, but you have to find ways to buy suitable weapons and then transport them back. Every link of this is risky." "And as long as we cooperate with us, we can directly convert it into weapons for you and help you transport them." Tyronn Black said with a slight smile. "what?" "What you said is true?" Bronson stood up suddenly and looked at Tyron Black with a faint smile on his face in shock. "I don''t have to lie to you, do I?" Tyronn Black said with a smile. "Sorry, I''m the one who lost my mind." Bronson took a deep breath, tried to suppress the shock and surprise in his heart, and said apologetically. He believed that Tyron Black¡¯s words were true. After all, the emerald mine was in the hands of their Kachin Independence Army and needed to be continuously mined. It was useless for Tyron Black to lie to him once. "Mr. Black, who are you here on behalf of?" Bronson''s attitude became quite eager, and after adding some tea to Tyron Black himself, he asked tentatively. "Mr. Bronson, you don''t need to know which party I represent. You just need to know that I am from the United States and I can get weapons from all countries in the world. Do you understand?" Tyronn Blank said in an unquestionable tone. Weapons of all countries in the world! What a big tone! Bronson was stunned again, and the first thought that came to his mind was that Tyronn Black was from a top arms dealer in the world! However, Bronson was not wrong. In order to increase the income of Blackwater International, Kevin Okasi did set up a Black Star International Trading Company to engage in international arms trade. Although Black Star International Trading Company has been established for a relatively short time, relying on its close relationship with the US military, it has a strong military force. There is no need to seek additional protection from mercenaries. Black Star International Trading Company has a rapid rise in the international market. There is no small reputation on it. "Mr. Bronson, you don''t need to question our strength." "But if you are not at ease, we can work together once. The way of cooperation is bartering." "I hope that after working together once, you can follow my previous conditions, otherwise...you know." Faced with the final threat from Tyronn Black, Bronson was not angry. He smiled and said: "Mr. Black, please rest assured, we have always abide by the rules, and I also hope to cooperate with you for a long time." "Mr. Black, would you please stay one day? I need to call a high-level meeting." "Yes, I will stay for one day. You arrange for someone to take me to visit your emerald mine and the rough stones mined." "No problem at all." ... In the afternoon, Bronson convened a high-level meeting and finally agreed to cooperate with Tyron Black first. After seeing the effect of the cooperation, he decided whether to agree to long-term cooperation with him. Just when Tyron Black was acting in Myanmar. As far away as the Blackwater International Training Base in the Republic of Congo, Africa, with the command of Chief Instructor Corey Eugene, more than two hundred heavily armed personnel proceeded to Botswana, next door to the Republic of Congo. I believe that it does not take long for them to obtain a batch of diamond embryos, and even support forces to occupy several small and medium-sized diamond mines. As long as they do not rush to seize the large diamond mines owned by the Botswana government, I believe that others will have to shun Blackwater International. It is with a clear judgment of his own strength and the situation in Africa that Xia Yu is confident that he can solve the problem of diamond embryo supply for eternal jewelry. It takes a certain amount of time to obtain jade and diamond raw materials. Xia Yu did not wait. His time is precious. It took two days to get all the Qiu Deba, Li Laisheng and others he wanted to win. He once again went to the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park to inspect the Tiangong Group, which has been awarded the "biggest industrial giant" by Hong Kong. In addition to Pioneer Electronics in the island country, there are five major subsidiaries under the Tiangong Automobile Group at the Hong Kong headquarters. They are the core Tiangong Technology Laboratory, as well as Tiangong Automobile Group, Tiangong Electronics Group, Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group and Tiangong. Machine Group. The first to go is of course the largest Tiangong Automobile Group, which has achieved an annual output of one million cars. In a year''s time, with the continuous financial support, the factory of Tiangong Automobile Group has undergone tremendous changes. Looking around, the factories are densely packed. When it came in January last year, Tiangong Automobile Group had only one base with a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles. Although the base with a capacity of 200,000 vehicles in the second phase was built, it did not have an assembly line. The third phase can accommodate The base with a capacity of 200,000 vehicles is just under construction. In the past year, Tiangong Automobile Group has four bases in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. According to the order of completion, the production capacity is 100,000, 200,000, 200,000, and 500,000. The largest automobile production plant with a capacity of 500,000 vehicles began to rush around the clock in early January last year, and it took a full five months to officially put the first automobile off the assembly line on June 12. Together with Rolls-Royce Motor Group''s 300,000-car production base in Xiangjiang, Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park already has an industrial cluster with an annual output of 1.3 million cars. As far as Asia is concerned, Hong Kong can be said to be the most eye-catching area for the foreign auto industry besides the island. However, the production capacity of 1.3 million vehicles is almost the limit of Xiangjiang. Therefore, facing a steady stream of orders, Tiangong Automobile Group can only choose to go out. Based on the concept of time is money, I went directly to Detroit, the United States, and acquired two automobile production plants that originally belonged to Ford and Chrysler, and then assembled the production lines to produce Tiangong automobiles. The two plants in Detroit have an annual production capacity of 600,000 cars. Calculated in this way, in the middle of last year, Tiangong Automobile Group directly increased from the initial production capacity of 100,000 to 1.6 million. Of course, this is only production capacity! It refers to the uninterrupted production throughout the year and the ability to roll off 1.6 million cars. You know that building these factories last year took a lot of time. In fact, in the whole year, Tiangong Automobile Group produced 864,359 cars off the assembly line, which is a gap of more than 130,000 vehicles from one million. However, the more than 800,000 cars that have rolled off the assembly line are all produced in accordance with order requirements, and all have been sold. The Tiangong Automobile Group has completely zero inventory. Not only that, as of the end of 1983, Tiangong Automobile Group still held an order for a total of 182,641 vehicles that had not been delivered! These orders have been received plus this number, the total sales volume of Tiangong Automobile Group last year was 1,047,000! More than one million vehicles! Total sales are as high as 15.489 billion US dollars! This still excludes the production capacity of mainland joint ventures. This data is not enough to enter the top ten in the world, but it is more than enough to enter the top twenty in the world. Only because of the large-scale construction of factories last year, the purchase of factories from the United States, and the bombing of carpet advertisements in almost the entire European and American regions, the expenses of the Tiangong Automobile Group are also extremely alarming. Just last year¡¯s brand marketing investment was as high as $484 million, which is extremely scary. And this investment is still invested with the preferential support of many allies. If all of them cooperate with unfamiliar media, it is estimated that an additional 100 million US dollars will be required! However, as the world''s major car companies for the Tiangong Automobile Group''s research and development models are about to go on the market, it also means that the Tiangong Automobile Group''s novice protection period is about to end. Soon, Tiangong Automobile Group will usher in a tough battle. In 1984, it was an arduous task whether to stabilize the sales volume of one million vehicles! For this reason, Chen Caijun has convened several senior executives of the company to conduct research around New Year''s Day in an attempt to expand sales. After inspecting the factory, Xia Yu just asked this question when he came to Chen Caijun''s office to rest. "Talent, the situation this year is more severe, are you ready?" After that, Xia Yu picked up the tea cup and drank slowly. PS: The last chapter is blocked again. Brothers who haven''t read it can join the group. The chapter has been uploaded to the group file. Both QQ groups and WeChat groups can be viewed. The way to join the group is in the introduction. Thank you. v3 Chapter 1286: Set foot on mobile phones and communications "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Facing Xia Yu''s problem, Chen Caijun straightened his face and spoke openly: "Chairman, we have considered this issue. After many studies and discussions, we have formulated a preliminary implementation plan, divided into two directions." "If nothing happens, there will be car companies launching urban SUVs and cheap sports cars by June this year at the latest. Our channels and brand awareness are far less than those of established car companies." "Moreover, our opponent is not one family, but almost all car companies. Everyone will compete for this new track. As the current market occupants, it will be difficult for us to face the situation of attacking in groups." "In the European and American markets, it is not a good way to fight a price war, so the company intends to increase its marketing efforts and play the "creator" card. The purpose is to stabilize the already occupied market and stabilize sales in the European and American regions." "The new growth direction, the company intends to locate in the local and Southeast Asia, statistics found that the local and Southeast Asian car ownership is very low." "For example, Xiangjiang has a total population of more than 5.4 million people, but the number of private cars in Hong Kong is less than 300,000, which is even lower in Southeast Asia." "As far as Southeast Asia is concerned, a considerable number of people in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines have become rich. They have money and have the need to buy cars. The reason is that Southeast Asian countries have many islands, territories, and public transportation is very bad. Not forming." "One more thing, Southeast Asian countries are all oil-producing countries. The price of oil is cheap, and consumers have a small burden after buying a car." "We are also close to Southeast Asia, the Tiangong brand is also well-known, transportation costs and marketing costs are relatively lower, Southeast Asia is very suitable for us to occupy the rear." "Based on the economic level of Southeast Asian countries, the company intends to rely on bundled discounts to capture the market." "First, as long as users of banks such as Jiuding Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Seng Bank, Sun Hung Kai Bank, Guangli Wing Hang Bank and other banks purchase Tiangong Auto, they can enjoy larger car loans and lower loan interest rates. , Jiuding Insurance Company has also developed more affordable auto insurance for Tiangong Automobile." "Secondly, the company established a driving school and established training venues in Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries. As long as customers who register for a driver¡¯s license at our driving school, the registration fee can be fully deducted when buying our car. The company has designed a Coach car." "Papa......" "very nice!" After Chen Caijun finished speaking, Xia Yu couldn''t help but applaud. Chen Caijun humbly said that it was everyone''s common contribution. The latter two methods for the Southeast Asian market are both practical and effective. The first method, the benefits to banks and insurance companies need not be mentioned. Banks and insurance companies need to expand the market at a cost. After cooperating with Tiangong Auto, the discounts issued by banks and insurance companies are integrated with those of Tiangong Auto Group. Become bigger together, which is extremely attractive to consumers who intend to buy a car. In particular, larger loan lines and lower insurance costs will make the pockets ashamed, and consumers who are still in the wait-and-see stage are determined to buy a car. The second method is to take the initiative to make the cake bigger, and at the same time as the cake is being made, new consumers are drawn into their own bowls. The training uses Tiangong Automobile, which left a deep impression, and there are driving habits. Driving schools and coaches will always promote brainwashing, and consumers will choose Tiangong Automobile when buying a car. Another one is the most attractive. The driving school registration fee is fully deducted. It can be deducted when buying Tiangong cars, but not when buying other cars. According to the analysis of human nature, most people will choose to take advantage. The driving school is self-operated, the coach cars are produced by themselves, and the profits of the trainees are returned to the parent company, so the losses have been minimized, and the cost is almost the same as the corporate marketing expenses, but it has long-term benefits. The two methods have covered all car buyers and blocked the door to new consumers. Xia Yu has already seen the explosion of Tiangong Automobile''s sales in Southeast Asia in the future. "The method is okay, just follow this, and the most basic 4S system should be used well." Xia Yu finally exhorted. "understand!" Chen Caijun nodded in response. "Ok!" "It''s getting late. Go ahead. I have to go to other companies." After all, Xia Yu drank the tea and got up to go out. "Chairman, I will send you." ... After leaving the Tiangong Automobile Group, the car went around in the industrial park for a while and then came to the Tiangong Electronics Group area. Before defeating Atari Company, Tiangong Electronics Group had already grabbed the throne of the electronic game hegemony. Last year was the year when Atari Company collapsed. It has been on the verge of bankruptcy. No electronic game company in the world can follow. The Tiangong Electronics Group is facing the wrist. In the field of Walkman, Tiangong Electronics Group has also surpassed the island country Sony Corporation and won the leading position. These two areas alone contributed 9.458 billion US dollars in sales to Tiangong Electronics last year. But this time, when Xia Yu came to Tiangong Electronics, the focus was not on these two areas that have been completely on track. He wants to see the newly opened field of Tiangong Electronics, a field with infinitely bright future-mobile phones! And this field is not directly placed in a certain department of Tiangong Electronics Group, but a subsidiary company-Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd. has been established. Yes, in the absence of technology, in order to enter the field of mobile phone manufacturing, Tiangong Electronics Group is cooperating with Motorola of the United States. In April last year, when the ten-year patent for the first cellular phone developed by Motorola just expired, Motorola announced in a high profile that after ten years, it finally developed the world''s first commercial mobile phone-Motorola dynatac-8000x, and obtained Federal Communications The committee''s approval allowed Motorola to produce and market the phone. At that time, although Xia Yu was in an island country, he also paid attention to this news. With the help of Motorola¡¯s major shareholder Polaris Capital, Tiangong Electronics Group successfully negotiated a cooperation with Motorola. Tiangong Electronics Group, Motorola Company and Xiangjiang Telephone Company, the three companies cooperated to establish Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd., with an equity ratio of 4:3:3. The new company has a total investment of 150 million US dollars and is established in Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park Production plant, funds are used for plant construction, production line assembly and debugging, staff training, analog signal base construction, etc. In addition, the HeungKong Telephone Company, which owns HeungKong''s local communications monopoly, also needs to establish Motorola''s AMPS system signal base stations throughout Hong Kong to achieve full signal coverage. Motorola is willing to cooperate, apart from Polaris Capital''s shareholder matchmaking reasons, the most important thing is to seize the market. After all, at this time, Motorola is not the only one, and there are still many chasers behind, it''s just that Motorola has developed a commercial mobile phone first. The most important thing is the mobile communication system. Motorola wants the TACS system to take a greater advantage. The TACS system is a modified version of the AMPS system and belongs to Motorola. The AMPS system was developed by Bell Laboratories in the United States in 1978, but Motorola is the main equipment supplier for this system. Nowadays, the global communication standards can be described as diverse. In 1979, following the successful development of the AMPS system by Bell Labs in the United States, NTT developed and launched a commercial cellular network TZ-801. In September 1981, the NMT450 system jointly developed by Ericsson and Nokia served Nordic countries such as Switzerland and the Netherlands. Then there is the C-Netz system operating in the 450MHz frequency band and used in Portugal and Austria. The C-450 system opened in West Germany. The RC2000 system opened in France runs in the 450 and 900 MHz frequency bands. The RTMS system opened in Italy runs in the 450MHz frequency band. ... In the 1G era of communications worldwide, there is no unified standard at all, and it is still in an era of chaos. For this market, Xia Yu certainly will not miss it. It¡¯s just that Tiangong Electronics Group has a weak foundation. Even if it has a Tiangong Technology Laboratory, it is not so easy to catch up. Instead of burying itself in research and development and taking many detours, it is better to tie the future 1G era king Motorola to learn from it. Accumulate technical knowledge and wait until the 2G era to make efforts again. Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd. has two purposes: one is to establish a brand to seize the market and make money, and the other is to make money to invest in research and development. The two purposes form a closed loop, which will be discussed first. Soon, under the leadership of Huo Jianning, Xia Yu came to the factory of Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd... PS: Check the information and find out that I have to vomit, I am not studying electronics and communication v3 Chapter 1287: The beginning of the Southeast Asian consortium "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd. has strict requirements for entering the factory building, and all dust-proof clothing must be changed first. After the group had finished changing their clothes, they walked into the interior of the factory. What you can see is the already decent production workshop and assembly line. Of course, the assembly line did not start, and there were scattered people who were busy with the production line. They looked like white people. As he walked there, Huo Jianning explained: ¡°Chairman, they are still assembling and debugging equipment. Those are engineers sent by Motorola. The person in charge is Aubrey Jerome, the tallest white man over there. Engineer, currently serving as vice president in the new company." "In terms of products, we did not produce the Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone, but made some changes to produce the "Tangong Motorola" brand mobile phone. The model has been confirmed, named K101, and the prototype has been made. I will wait a moment. Show it to you..." Although the mobile phone brand is not Tiangong, but ¡®Tiangong Motorola¡¯, Xia Yu is not surprised, and even quite satisfied. Have at least part of the initiative! For the Tiangong Electronics Group, although the ¡®Tiangong Motorola¡¯ brand is lengthy and not as good as the standalone ¡®Tiangong¡¯ brand, it is worse than using ¡®Motorola¡¯ directly. The product is different from Motorola¡¯s DynaTAC8000X, which is right, showing its own difference. Although Motorola¡¯s influence cannot be used too much, there is no commercially available mobile phone in the world today. Everyone is on the same starting line. Not afraid. The Motorola brand is well-known, but as far as electronic products are concerned, the game consoles and walkmans of the ¡®Tangong¡¯ brand are also popular all over the world. In the minds of young people, they may be even bigger. If it weren''t for the reputation and strength of Tiangong Electronics, Motorola would not necessarily be willing to license the technology, and also let Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd. produce mobile phones with some independent characteristics. In the past, Ericsson and Sony were able to cooperate in the production of Sony Ericsson mobile phones. In the end, Ericsson withdrew and Sony took all the shares. The production of "Sony Ericsson" brand mobile phones ceased and only Sony mobile phones were produced. For Tiangong Motorola mobile phones, one day there will only be the word "Tiangong". The key to how long it takes to remove the tail depends on when the farming can be planted in place... While talking, a group of people came to the front of the assembly line. Seeing Huo Jianning''s arrival, an old white man stopped and walked towards Xia Yu and the others. "Jerome, let me introduce to you, this is my boss, Mr. Xia Yu." "Chairman, this is Aubrey Jerome, a senior engineer from Motorola, and the current vice president of the company." After the old white man approached, Huo Jianning immediately introduced it to both sides. "Boss, hello, this is Aubrey Jerome." "Hello, Mr. Jerome, thank you for your contribution to the company, for your hard work." "This is my job responsibility." ... In a few simple words, Xia Yu was able to determine that Aubrey Jerome in front of him was a veteran engineering man. His thinking determined his character and style of conduct. He spoke straightforwardly and lacked the ability to observe words and colors. However, this kind of person is sent to Tiangong Motorola Electronics Company, which is a good thing for Tiangong Electronics Group. Xia Yu also prefers to deal with this kind of technical talent. "Jerome, it looks like the production line is about to take shape. How long will it take to start production?" When he walked to the production line, Xia Yu took a close look at the shiny metallic machine, and then asked Aubrey Jerome. "There are a total of five production lines, and now only three have been assembled. The assembly of the other two production lines can be completed in at most half a month, but the overall commissioning will take at least one month." "In addition to personnel training, the final production evaluation and debugging, it will take another month or so." "So it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least the end of March to the beginning of April to officially mass produce." Aubrey Jerome introduced with a serious face. It''s even more than two months! Xia Yu was slightly disappointed. However, after thinking about it, Motorola''s mobile phones have not yet been listed, and it seems that they will be on sale around April. The progress on my side is not much different from Motorola. If it is produced in early April, the five production lines will be at full capacity, and the goods will be fully distributed in May. Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a little better. Aubrey Jerome didn''t see it, but Huo Jianning, who had been with Xia Yu for a long time, noticed the chairman''s thoughts. He immediately said: "Chairman, although mass production is still some time away, two hundred prototypes have been produced, and most of them are qualified products." "Heung Kong Telephone Company has completed the construction of signal base stations in the area of ??Xiangjiang and Longmen. We have tested it. There is no problem in the communication between Xiangjiang and Longmen." "Do you want to take a batch and put it into use first?" Xia Yu was a little surprised, and asked: "The base station of Xiangjiang Telephone Company is a hardware facility. Have you done well in terms of communication services?" Huo Jianning immediately replied: "I just went to Xiangjiang Telephone Company the day before yesterday to find out the situation. The mobile communication department of Xiangjiang Telephone Company has been staffed and has undergone the first phase of induction training." "Just take a batch of mobile phones and put them into use first, which can also allow them to practice in actual combat, speed up the integration of skills, and improve service capabilities." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it. The presidents of each first- and second-tier companies will have a mobile phone first. In addition, I will get a hundred more. I will take it to someone and let other big guys help with advertising. ." "If it is not enough, produce another batch of prototypes." There is no difficulty in reproducing a batch of prototypes. The top tycoons of Xiangjiang are the weather vane. If they have a ¡®Tiangong Motorola¡¯ mobile phone, it¡¯s definitely the best live advertisement, and the mobile phone will definitely catch fire before it starts. Not surprisingly, he can receive an order before going public, which saves him going to do marketing before going public. The chairman is really different! Huo Jianning hurriedly smiled and said, "Chairman, please rest assured and promise to complete the task." After leaving Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd. with satisfaction, Xia Yu went to Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group, Tiangong Machinery Group and Tiangong Technology Laboratory. Relying on the number one offline chain sales network in Asia, Tiangong brand electrical appliances have been sold well in Southeast Asia, and branch offices have been established in mainland China to produce and sell them. On the other hand, Tiangong Machinery Group will continue to develop new products on the basis of its original products, and continue to study in the field of heavy machinery. In the future, it will be the pillar of the consortium in the field of machinery and heavy industry. As for the Tiangong Technology Laboratory, through digging people around the world, the number of scientific researchers has reached more than 1,300, and there are as many as 31 separate internal laboratories. There are 89 projects under development. Has 769 patented technologies. Although the value of patents varies greatly and the number is far from the world''s well-known laboratories, they are on the right track anyway. And as far as Asia is concerned, the size and strength of the Tiangong Technology Laboratory are already among the best, but it is all made by money. In the past year, the Tiangong Technology Laboratory burned 2.287 billion Hong Kong dollars, an average of 6.26 million Hong Kong dollars per day, which is more than one million dollars converted into US dollars! With such ample financial support and no KPI assessment, the reputation of Tiangong Technology Laboratory is widely circulated in the academic research circle, and it has become one of the holy places in the minds of many scientists. Especially for scientists in mainland China, this is simply a dream place. There is no academic bureaucratic suppression, and no need to ask grandpa to apply for funding. It is unimaginable that they can devote themselves to research and development. Therefore, after some scientists from mainland China entered the Tiangong Technology Laboratory for a while, they wrote letters and invited friends they knew to join. The Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory can skyrocket from only 300 to more than 1,300 in a year and a half. These scientists from the mainland have contributed a lot. Today, in the laboratory, scientists from the mainland alone surpassed them. half. In order to facilitate internal academic exchanges and external exchanges, Tiangong Technology Laboratory also cooperated with Jiuding Newspaper Company. In December 1982, Tiangong Science Publishing House was established. At present, the publishing house only has one magazine-Tiangong Science. This is a comprehensive journal. At the beginning, it only included papers from the Tiangong Technology Laboratory, but after its reputation spread, many people contributed. Through the recommendation of mainland scientists in the laboratory, "Heaven Engineering Science" has now become the first channel for mainland scientists to submit articles to the outside world. In terms of circulation, the highest issue of Tiangong Science has reached 48,000 copies. Although it is far less than the entertainment magazine of Jiuding Newspaper, it is absolutely influential in terms of influence Not low, after all, this is an academic journal. After learning of this situation, Xia Yu thought of the academic hegemony of later generations in Europe and America, and even the Nobel Prize was of a political nature. And if you do it now, you still have a chance to break the blockade. So when he was in the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory, he waved his hand and announced on the spot that a World Science Foundation would be established, with an initial investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars for the selection of scientists with outstanding contributions in various fields each year. This is the first selection since this year. The prize money of each prize winner is five million Hong Kong dollars! After Xia Yu announced at that time, the atmosphere in the entire Tiangong Technology Laboratory was enthusiastic. Everyone cheered Xia Yu, and Xia Yu''s prestige rose to its peak. Although this award has to compete with global science awards, they have one more chance, right? And this award is still the fairest for them. Unlike European and American awards, they are not allowed to enter. As long as they can get it once, it will not only have honors and bonuses, but also protect their lives in the future. Especially scientists from the mainland are full of emotions. Think about living in China with a monthly salary of several tens of yuan. If they can get a bonus of five million Hong Kong dollars, it will be enough for them to completely settle their families and still have money. Do scientific research for your family and cultivate your own offspring so that they can have a higher starting point. After leaving the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, Xia Yu took the time to devote his time to the organization and physical construction of the consortium. January 19, 1984. This is destined to be a day that will be remembered by history. That morning, 22 business leaders, including Xia Yu, gathered in a luxurious villa newly opened by Xia Yu. PS: Ask for a monthly pass. There is also a monthly pass exchange for the starting currency in the starting comment area. Don¡¯t miss it, please vote for it. v3 Chapter 1288: The consortium is established! "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! To be honest, nine of the other twenty-one people had never dealt with Xia Yu before. This can be said to be the first meeting. However, he has known these people before, so there is no embarrassment of not knowing people. Rao is so. When meeting Xia Yu, Chen Yongzai, Xu Huange, Xie Jianlong, Huang Huizhong and others all took the initiative to lower their posture and greet Xia Yu. Before deciding to join the Southeast Asia consortium, everyone had a clear understanding that the head of this consortium could only be Xia Yu. No matter how prestigious they are in the local area, when they come to Xia Yu, the first time they come to worship the dock, they must have an attitude of worshipping the dock. "Plus me, there are 22 people. It seems that everyone is here, so we won''t waste time and have a meeting." When everyone arrived, Xia Yu said with a smile. After that, everyone sat around the oval long table, Xia Yu sat at the top, Bao Yugang sat on his left hand, and Huo Yingdong on his right. As for the others, they were all seated according to the seat signs placed on the table. "I won''t say much about the gossip. From the moment you walk in, we are friends. I believe the atmosphere of this meeting will certainly not be bad, and the results will be gratifying." After setting the tone, Xia Yu continued: "Everyone has an agenda for this meeting, a charter of the consortium that I personally drafted, and a charter of the company." "The first agenda is to discuss and study the charter of the consortium. Let''s take a look at it first, discuss it later, and express their opinions." After Xia Yu finished speaking, the others didn''t say anything, and they read them one after another. For a while, only the rustle of paper and the sound of breathing were left in the room. Although Xia Yu was the youngest. But if you talk about the experience of building a consortium, Xia Yu can be said to be the most abundant among all the people present. In addition, he has the largest think tank, and he has studied the consortium model of various countries around the world. Therefore, the "Articles of the Southeast Asian Consortium" drafted by him can be said to be quite complete, taking into account most aspects. Sure enough, after other people read it, only a few people put forward their opinions. After discussion, one was discussed and passed, and the others were all refuted by others. The first agenda didn''t waste much time wrangling, and it ended smoothly in only half an hour. Without procrastination, Xia Yu immediately entered the second agenda of substantial significance-the establishment of the top administrative organization of the consortium. Establish a Southeast Asian international holding company, this company has a board of directors and a general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders are 22 people sitting here. Twenty-two individuals are both shareholders and members of the company¡¯s board of directors. The board of directors is divided into three levels, namely the chairman, vice chairman and director. The first chairman is undoubtedly Xia Yu, and there are three vice-chairmen. After selection, they are Bao Yugang, Guo Henian and Huang Yicong. Huo Yingdong served as the chairman of the board of supervisors, and the other 17 persons served as directors. In the board of directors, the chairman holds two votes, so there are a total of 23 votes in the board of directors. Then passed the articles of association of Southeast Asia International Holding Company, which clearly stated that the board of directors is held every three years. The chairman of the board has a veto on which matters and which matters require the board of directors to vote. It is worth mentioning that there is a clear stipulation on the equity of Southeast Asia International Holding Company that the company will never be listed. The total share capital of the company is 25,000 shares. Xia Yu occupies the most 3,000 shares. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong Each holds 1,500 shares, and the other 19 people each have 1,000 shares. Equivalent to Xia Yu occupying 12% of the shares of Southeast Asia International Holdings. However, the company''s articles of association stipulate that the Southeast Asian International Company is not listed, and the equity transfer and expansion must be approved by two-thirds of the board of directors. Private transfer can be deemed invalid, so this equity is of great symbolic significance. Under Southeast Asia International Corporation, only one wholly-owned company will be established, and it will be a bank! So the third agenda is to determine the financial platform of the consortium. Since this bank is wholly-owned by Southeast Asia International Holdings, as long as there is no problem at the top of the consortium, there is no need to worry about losing control. This is also the safest way. "The most important thing for the formation of a Southeast Asian consortium is to have a core financial platform. Many people here, including me, own a bank. Let us discuss how this bank should be established?" "I personally have three suggestions." "First, someone takes out an existing bank to expand capital and accepts everyone to buy shares." "Secondly, we all put out a number of banks to integrate and set up a new bank, and invest in accordance with the amount of equity." "Third, start anew and set up a brand-new bank, and everyone will invest in proportion to equity." "Let¡¯s discuss, which is more appropriate, or there is a better way, can also be discussed." After speaking, Xia Yu''s eyes swept across everyone''s faces. Others are also observing other people''s expressions. Xia Yu found that Chen Youhan, Huang Yicong, Chen Yongzai, Huang Ziming, Li Guangqian, Huang Huizhong, Qiu Deba and others attracted more attention. Chen Youhan''s family has Bangkok Bank, Huang Yicong has Indonesia International Bank, Chen Yongzai has Philippine Union Bank, Huang Ziming has Thai Capital Bank, Li Guangqian family has invested in Star City Overseas Chinese Bank, Huang Huizhong family has invested in Bank of Central Asia, Qiu Deba not to mention Having said that, cooperated with Xia Yu, Guangli Wing Hang Bank. Of course, Xia Yu is the strongest in the banking industry, followed by Chen Youhan, followed by Huang Ziming¡¯s Jinghua Bank. Both Huang Yicong and Chen Yongzai¡¯s banks are relatively weak at present, and everyone else is just holding shares in a certain bank. Equity is only, there is no dominant power. Everyone fell into thinking. After a long time. Guo Fangfeng stood up and said: "This bank must have served our consortium at first, and will only lend to the outside world after its strength has been accumulated. So I personally think that it is better to start a new bank, and the equity distribution will be more reasonable, so that it will not be psychologically imbalanced." Zheng Xinping immediately pointed out the shortcomings: "But new banks have to face capital problems and difficulties in absorbing deposits. Except for the support of those of us, it is difficult to have external funds." "As the core financial platform of our consortium, it must grow up quickly, otherwise it will be detrimental to all of us." "Indeed, Lao Zheng got the point." "However, even if it expands on the basis of the original bank, the general small and medium-sized banks are not very useful. If they are like HSBC and Standard Chartered, they can have a high starting point." Xu Huange said with a sigh. Others nodded subconsciously in agreement. Of course, they didn''t know that Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC were controlled by Xia Yu, and they just used them for comparison. Xu Huange is also more sophisticated. He didn''t mention Xia Yu''s Jiuding Bank, which was not inferior to the two, because he knew very well that this bank was absolutely impossible to take out, so he couldn''t say it to make Xia Yu dissatisfied. In his opinion, Chen Youhan¡¯s Bangkok Bank is the most suitable one, but Chen Youhan does not express his position, and he will not take the initiative to mention it. After all, Chen Youhan is not as scattered in his family business as the others here. The Chen family in Thailand focuses on the banking industry. The biggest pillar of the family is Bangkok Bank. If he asks him to take out Bangkok Bank and retain only less than 10% of the equity, Chen Youhan will definitely refuse. At this moment, Chen Youhan suddenly said: "I have a suggestion, his family might as well listen to it." When the others heard it, they all looked at him. Chen Youhan continued: "I agree with the chairman''s third proposal to establish a new bank." "As for the funding for the development of the new bank, I am willing to transfer 30% of Bangkok Bank¡¯s equity to the new bank. Bangkok Bank will become a peripheral bank of the new bank and supply the new bank through inter-bank lending. funds." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, and he glanced at Chen Youhan in surprise, and instantly understood his intention of starting. There is no doubt that the future of the 22 consortium banks supported by the forces is definitely bright, and they have the potential to develop into the world¡¯s top large banks. Such a bank¡¯s presence in Southeast Asia will definitely have a huge impact on banks in the same field. Valley Bank is no exception. But as the bank of the Southeast Asian consortium, Bangkok Bank cannot stop its rise. Since he couldn''t fight, Chen Youhan wanted to get involved and let Bangkok Bank absorb the nutrients of the consortium bank. Although the funds were loaned to the consortium bank, the interest collected would still be collected, even if it was a little more than the deposits of the depositors, the amount of funds would be a big profit It is also very impressive. After all, for banks, if they have absorbed enough deposits, how to invest and benefit is a very deep question. The more money is not the better, it is good to be able to borrow out with low risk and successfully recover the loan, otherwise you will lose money if you can¡¯t release the funds. All of you present here are the best customers in the banking industry, so the banking risk of the consortium is relatively smaller than the operating risk of Pangu Bank. It is a good deal to hand over the money to the consortium bank for investment and take a small profit from Pangu Bank. Long-term trading. In contrast, it is absolutely cost-effective to take out 30% of the equity to ensure safety and buy the future. Others figured this out. Huang Yicong and Chen Yongzai expressed their views successively. "I am also willing to take out a 30% stake in Indonesia International Bank." "I am willing to transfer 30% of the shares of Union Bank of the Philippines." With the consortium bank, the Indonesian International Bank and the Philippine Union Bank, two small local banks, they are definitely enough to rise faster, but the other banks in the two countries are the more stressed. When Xia Yu saw this, he also smiled and said, "Then let me join together. I will take out 15% of the shares of Heung Kong Sun Hung Kai Bank and Malaysia Guangli Wing Hang Bank. These two banks have also become peripheral banks of the consortium bank. " "Haha!" "Flap!" "In this way, the consortium bank has not yet registered, it already has five peripheral banks for blood supply, and the five banks together have covered the entire Southeast Asia." Bao Yugang laughed loudly and applauded. The others also smiled. "Then next is the question of the name of the bank and the registered capital. How do you think the name should be taken and how should the funds be paid?" Seeing that everyone was okay, Xia Yu asked two more critical questions. "Chairman, why don''t you take a name?" After Hu Yingxiang finished speaking, others responded. "Yes, you still have to choose the bank''s name more suitable." "..." The hospitality of the people was hard to come by, and Xia Yu could only help it. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Why don''t you name it as the Southeast Asia Development Bank?" "This name is good, it fits with the consortium and supports it." "stand by!" "Why don''t everyone vote." As soon as Qiu Deba spoke, everyone except Xia Yu raised their hands to agree, which gave Xia Yu a lot of face. Xia Yu smiled even more, and thanked him: "I''m showing my ugliness, thank you for your approval." "Then there is still a question, how much should be funded?" "We have to consider that in addition to the initial use of this fund, it also needs to be used to acquire equity in five banks, not too little." Everyone was thinking about it, but Huo Yingdong first proposed: "Or, one thousand shares count as one, corresponding to an injection of 100 million US dollars, how about?" "The pressure on everyone shouldn''t be too much." "Furthermore, with 2.5 billion US dollars of capital injection, after buying the equity of the five banks, there is still more than half left, which is enough to cope with the initial development." "Okay, I have no objection." "I have no objection." ... After everyone reached an agreement, it was determined that Xia Yu needs to pay 300 million US dollars in registered capital to Southeast Asia International Holdings, and 22 people total 2.5 billion US dollars. All of this 2.5 billion US dollars will be handed over to the Southeast Asian Development Bank. After the third agenda is over, the next two agendas are easier. Wait until about 11:30, when all the agendas are over. With congratulations from everyone, the Southeast Asia Consortium was officially established! "Lunch is served on time at twelve o''clock, now there is more than half an hour." "I have a good thing for everyone." Xia Yu''s words aroused the curiosity of others. UU reading "Oh? There are gifts, unexpected!" "..." When everyone was talking and laughing, Xia Yu personally opened a box on the side table, took out a packaged mobile phone from it, let everyone pass it, and everyone sent one. . "The mobile phone produced by my company is convenient for contact." "Look at it first, everyone." "Does this work like a phone?" It was Chen Yongzai who was talking, holding a huge mobile phone, looking at the number buttons on it, and asking aloud. "It''s the phone, it''s just mobile." "Everyone took it out, so let me introduce it to you." To answer briefly, Xia Yu glanced around and saw that everyone had taken out their mobile phones, he cleared his throat and said. "This mobile phone was produced by my Tiangong Electronics in cooperation with Motorola in the United States. The model is Tiangong Motorola K101. It has not yet been sold to the outside world. Now everyone is holding an internal prototype made in advance." "The use of mobile phones requires signal base stations to transmit and receive mobile signals. Xiangjiang and Longmen are built by Xiangjiang Telephone Company to build mobile base stations and provide mobile communication services. That is to say, at present, this mobile phone is only available in Longmen and Xiangjiang. Normal use, temporarily no signal in Southeast Asia." "Each mobile phone already has a mobile phone card, the number is carefully selected, has been activated in the network, and can be used now, but the identity has not yet been bound, you have time to bind it later." "The numbers are all pasted on the mobile phone box, and everyone''s numbers are recorded on A4 paper, which is the top piece of paper after the box is opened. Please try it." PS: 4K chapters, ask for monthly tickets, there are activities in the comment area v3 Chapter 1289: The role of the consortium appears "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Li Zhaoji said with excitement: "Then I will try!" "Old Hu, I''ll hit you" After speaking, Li Zhaoji found Hu Yingxiang''s number on the paper and pressed it against the number. These numbers are easy to remember, because they are special numbers. Xia Yu specially asked Xiangjiang Telephone Company to take them out. It can be regarded as a small gift to his allies. The special numbers can also be regarded as a status symbol. After the call, Hu Yingxiang''s cell phone made a beep shortly after the call. After pressing to connect, Hu Yingxiang put the phone to his ear and gave a feed. This voice was immediately uploaded from the earpiece to Li Zhaoji''s ear. After a few brief conversations, Li Zhaoji gave a pertinent evaluation. "I can hear it, the voice is still very clear!" When other people saw this, they started to practice, and sighed again and again after using it. "Ayu, this mobile phone is so convenient that it can be carried with you. If you want to find someone, you only need a phone number. I plan to equip all the executives below. When will it be listed? It must be given priority to me!" Bao Yugang just finished speaking. "I want too. I will make statistics later and order first!" "I''ll order 500 units first!" Li Zhaoji, He Hongshen and others also opened up reservations. On the contrary, members from Southeast Asian countries expressed regret. According to Xia Yu''s introduction, they can only use this phone in Xiangjiang and Longmen, most of the time they are not here, and most of the company is in the local area. "It''s a pity that Southeast Asia hasn''t been able to use it yet." Qiu Deba said regretfully. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Don''t worry, everyone, Xiangjiang Telephone Company is already negotiating with various countries, and several countries have made good progress." "I believe this year will definitely be able to see results." He did understand the situation. The telecommunications industry in Southeast Asian countries is a mixed operation of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and is not monopolized by state-owned enterprises. Xiangjiang Telephone Company can indeed enter. What''s more, the current mobile signal is different from the wired signal network, and it is less difficult to enter. "Then I''ll wait for the good news from the chairman, haha..." While talking and laughing, when it was twelve o''clock, the servant came up to ask that lunch was ready, and Xia Yu took everyone down for dinner. After enjoying a delicious lunch, the crowd did not immediately disperse, but gathered in twos and threes to chat and talk about cooperation by the way. From now on, everyone is in the same trench, and their positions are the same. Moreover, all of you present here are top-notch bosses, if a strong alliance is good for everyone, it can also accelerate the growth of the strength of the entire group. Xia Yu first negotiated a cooperation with Guo Henian. Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Hotel Management Group will merge with Guo Henian¡¯s Shangri-La Hotel Group to form Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group. The equity ratio is divided according to the assets of the two companies. As far as the current situation is concerned, the assets of Jiuding Hotel Management Group are much higher than those of Shangri-La Hotel Group, which was established in 1971. After the merger, Xia Yu''s side was also dominant. For Guo Henian, although the shareholding has been reduced after the merger, there are many benefits in terms of the company''s long-term development. The most obvious one is to reduce unnecessary competition. After the merger, the relationship between The Peninsula Hotel, Marco Polo Hotel, Mandarin Hotel and Shangri-La Hotel will change from competition to cooperation. After the group, the strength will dominate the entire Southeast Asia, can accelerate the expansion and squeeze the survival market of other brands. Then Xia Yu invited Huang Yicong from Indonesia to collaborate on a project, which was the establishment of an Asia Paper Co., Ltd. The company has an initial investment of US$100 million. Xia Yu owns 60% of the shares and Huang Yicong owns 40% of the shares. The company is managed by Huang Yicong, who has contracted to plant fast-growing forests in Southeast Asia, and produce and process pulp and paper. The Asian paper magnate, who will dominate one of the world''s top ten paper companies in the future, has not set foot in the paper industry at this time, and his strength is far worse than Xia Yu. Faced with Xia Yu''s invitation, Huang Yicong agreed without hesitation. Huang Yicong is a veteran plantation family and a big landlord in Indonesia. Xia Yu is also a big rich man. The paper consumption of his consortium is huge, enough to support Asia Paper Co., Ltd. to start from a very high starting point. The future of Asia Paper Co., Ltd. is promising! ... Finally, Xia Yu called out Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai from the Philippines and came to the garden. The soft sea breeze blew across, bringing a different sense of refreshment to the three of them. It''s just that Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai were a little absent-minded, thinking about the purpose of Xia Yu calling them out. Of the 22 people, only two of them are from the Philippines, and the relationship is not particularly harmonious. The Xu Huange family is the largest Chinese family in the Philippines. Chen Yongzai represents the second strongest Chinese family. They didn''t know that the other party had received the invitation before they came. But when I got here today, I knew that the other party was also here, which was a bit embarrassing. Xu Huange¡¯s family is one of the three old-fashioned families in the Philippines, and it is also the only Chinese family among the three big families. However, due to political loss in recent years, the Xu family has been under tremendous pressure and development can be described as difficult. . Xu Huange himself has a cousin who is the wife of the leader of the Liberal Party of the Philippines. The leader of the Liberal Party is the main opponent of the current dictatorship of the Philippines, Ferdinand. But when he returned to the Philippines from the United States in August last year, at the Manila International Airport, under the guard of 5,000 aviation security soldiers, he was killed by soldiers in broad daylight. This incident shocked the whole world. The newspapers of Jiuding News reported many times, and huge protests and marches broke out in the Philippines. Although no evidence has been found so far, there is no doubt that it can only be the present. The dictator Ferdinand did it. Up to now, Xu Huange and his cousin''s family are still rebelling, but they are relatively low-key, but Xia Yu knows that they are actually secretly planning to prepare for the next general election in an attempt to bring down Ferdinand. As for Chen Yongzai, he is well-known in later generations. It is his way of doing business by sailing in the wind and resurrecting the soul with the corpse. He really started from scratch. At the age of 11, he went to the Philippines due to a famine and his uncle, worked as an apprentice in a tobacco factory, and worked step by step to where he is today. As a self-made person, in the terrifying and extremely dark Philippines, he can grow up to the point where he is now. It doesn''t matter if you say that it doesn''t matter, ghosts don''t believe it. He can grow up to this day, largely dependent on Ferdinand, there are countless gold rights transactions in it. In terms of business, although he is in many industries, he has strong competition with the Xu Huange family, which is the beer industry. The Xu Huange family is San Miguel beer, which occupies the largest market in the Philippines. And Chen Yongzai''s Asian beer is the second largest beer company in the Philippines. Therefore, Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai are opposed to both political and business positions. Joining the Southeast Asian consortium is a huge opportunity for both of them. I just don¡¯t know what Xia Yu, the head of the consortium, has for the two of them... PS: First, ask for more tickets, there will be more in the evening v3 Chapter 1290: Layout the Philippines "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! "I suddenly thought of an interesting thing." "You said, if the news of you two becoming an alliance goes back to the Philippines, how much impact will it have?" Xia Yu smiled and said to the two of them. The expressions of Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai changed slightly, and they were silent. Finally, Xu Huange first said: "This influence is enough to spread to the political and business circles, and even change the existing pattern." Chen Yongzai nodded solemnly, but said nothing. Compared with Xu Huange, Chen Yongzai''s psychological pressure is greater. After all, he does not have a political family behind him like Xu Huange, and the current President Ferdinand can cause direct harm to him. Ferdinand absolutely does not want to see the influence of the family behind Xu Huange rise again, so he is regarded as a betrayer and will be the first target of attack. "Hehe, just kidding." "Don''t worry, it was also said at the morning meeting that the consortium only exists in a practical sense and will not be fantasizing. It pays more attention to secret connections, avoids alerting other forces, and uses warm water to boil frogs against other forces." "When they are slowly discovered later, they will be too late to wake up." Xia Yu smiled, and the atmosphere improved slightly. "Chairman, I don''t know if we are here, do you have anything to mention?" Chen Yongzai''s complexion returned to calm and asked actively. "The main thing is to talk to you about the current and future situation in the Philippines, as well as the direction of development, and what should be done to be good to you and to the consortium." Xia Yu said slowly. "You two know the situation in the Philippines best now, so I won''t say more." "I''ll just ask you a question. Do you think, in this situation, how long can Ferdinand stay in this position?" Facing this problem, both of them contemplated. After a long time, Chen Yongzai said uncertainly: "It should be possible to stay for another three years. The next tenure will be difficult to say. Apart from the situation, the health of another Ferdinand is not very good." In 1981, due to domestic and foreign pressure, Ferdinand abolished the Philippine military officers. However, in order to maintain his rule, he changed the political system to a French presidential system. He still had absolute power in extraordinary times, and his term of office was changed to six years without being re-elected. limit. So normally speaking, Ferdinand will last until 1987. It is only 1984, and Chen Yongzai is right to say that there are still three years left. Under the current circumstances, there is no way in the Philippines that can bring down Ferdinand without an election. Unless Ferdinand dies himself, after all, he is now sixty-seven years old. Being older, there are many natural problems, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable laws in nature. "Okay, then I''ll ask another question." "If Ferdinand falls and the next up, who has the best chance? Who gets on stage is good for both of you?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and continued to ask the next question. This question is more in-depth and more difficult than the previous question. If you don''t understand the political situation in the Philippines, you will definitely not be able to answer it. "I can''t see it. After all, the opposition party only accounts for less than 10% of the power in the National Assembly." "For me, it''s definitely better for me to be on stage." Xu Huange shook his head and smiled bitterly. Chen Yongzai thought for a long time and then said: "For me, the Socialist Party will continue to be in office, and it will be more stable for me, otherwise I have to bet again." There are obvious differences on this issue. The two parties do not agree on current interests and future risks. "What about the Chinese?" Xia Yu raised another question. And this question is not so difficult. Both of them said: "It is better to go back and forth with the opposition party." "Look, there is a common position, but the biggest position." Xia Yu said with a smile. Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai looked at each other and both smiled kindly. Xia Yu walked to the fence, put his hands on the railing, looked at the blue sea in the distance, and said with emotion: "In Southeast Asia, the developed areas are actually the three places in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand." "Why are you wealthy? It''s because there are so many Chinese who are hardworking and rich, and so are the density." "The Philippines is different. The number of Chinese in the Philippines accounts for more than 2% of the entire Philippines, which is a dozen points behind Thailand, which has the lowest proportion of Chinese in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand." "Because there are few Chinese, in the Philippines, the Chinese are not as powerful as the Aboriginals and Europeans. The living standard of the Chinese is relatively better than that of the Aborigines, but it is not as good as that of the Chinese in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand." "Just like a big cake, the Chinese only occupy a small piece." "As the leaders of the Chinese in the Philippines, what you should do most in this situation is to reduce internal competition, unanimously aim at the outside world, grab more cakes, and turn them into cakes of the Chinese influence." Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai were both upset. They all understand the truth, but because of practical reasons, or face issues, or because of their position, they couldn''t help themselves, so that they did not compromise with each other. But now it is obvious that Xia Yu, the leader, acts as an intermediary, and wants them to let go of their prejudices and shake hands to make peace. Both of them are smart people, and now they have become allies because of the Southeast Asian consortium, and Xia Yu personally intervenes. Xu Huange didn''t talk nonsense, and proactively stretched out his hand to Chen Yongzai and looked at him with a smile: "Brother Chen, meet again. From now on, we will be brothers in the same trench." Chen Yongzai also smiled openly, shook his hand with Xu Huange, and solemnly said: "Brother Xu, the younger brother used to be offended so much, and he still looks at Haihan." "I also have something wrong." Xu Huange said sincerely. "The past is over, people, the most important thing is to look forward, don''t you think?" Seeing the two shook hands to make peace and eliminate prejudice, Xia Yu was very pleased and said happily. "The chairman is right!" "Let¡¯s join hands, ride the wind and waves, and move towards a new peak!" "Hahaha..." ... After laughing, the distance between the three of them got closer, and the atmosphere of the chat became more harmonious. Xia Yu finally decided to talk about business. "You have stayed in the Philippines for a long time, and you know a lot about the internal affairs of the Philippines, but it may not be clear internationally. The direction of the Philippines may not necessarily be influenced internally." "Ferdinand has seriously disappointed the United States!" "We have to make arrangements early." Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai were taken aback. "Has it reached this level?" "I really haven''t noticed that UU Reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com hasn''t reached that level yet." When he said this, Xu Huange couldn''t help but glanced at Xia Yu, shocked that Xia Yu could know the internal situation of the United States. After all, it involves the political affairs between countries, and only a handful of people at the top know about it. But after being shocked, he immediately realized that maybe the opportunity really came. He is well aware of the influence of the United States on the Philippines, and the relationship between the two is also very special. In the Philippines, there are not only the Subic Naval Base and Clark Air Force Base of the U.S. Army, but the U.S. has always wanted to build the Philippines into its "democratic showcase" to influence the entire Asia. Behind this is the competition between two ideologies in the current world. Xia Yu said with a smile: "In recent years, Ferdinand has often used the issue of military bases to bargain with the United States, and the construction of "democratic politics" has been messed up. Anti-government demonstrations can be seen everywhere, and the city is in a shabby state." "Moreover, the assassination that broke out last year has plunged the Philippines into a serious political and economic crisis." "The U.S.''s face is swollen." "Now with regard to the Philippines, the international situation is very delicate." "Ferdinand''s rule seems indestructible, but in fact it is riddled with defects. If the United States is willing to take the initiative, Ferdinand will not be able to last long. Another day will be in the near future." "How to determine when the United States will do it?" Chen Yongzai hurriedly asked. Xu Huange also looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Xia Yu smiled slightly and said confidently: "When we are ready, the United States will be able to do it anytime." Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai were shocked and looked at Xia Yu in amazement. The leader of the consortium in front of him has so much energy... ps: Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket v3 Chapter 1291: The governor came to ask "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! According to the original trajectory, the United States would all act on the Philippines. As long as the United States and the Soviet Union are still struggling for hegemony, then Ferdinand is one of the obstacles to the promotion of American democracy in the world and must be kicked off. As for when to do it, it depends on when the United States makes up its mind. With the energy of Xia Yu and Polaris Capital in the United States, it is very maneuverable to want this to happen artificially. Therefore, he has the confidence to say such domineering words in front of Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai. It''s just that there is no need to explain to the two of the inside story behind this. Of course, he has to make full use of such a good opportunity to establish a stalwart figure in their hearts. Next, Xia Yu chatted with the two for about twenty minutes and made some suggestions to them. For example, the two beer companies cannot cooperate on the surface for the time being, but they can reduce competition and turn their guns at other beer manufacturers. If things are done properly in the future, it may not be impossible to cooperate. Another example is politics, how should the two of them do... ... After the establishment of the Southeast Asia Consortium, Xia Yu shifted his focus to the establishment of the Yanhuang Association and the Blue Star Association. However, as the Spring Festival approached, he was destined to be busy with his work, and he had to multi-task, which naturally affected his progress. That night, as soon as Xia Yu had finished eating, he asked the servant to clean up the second-floor meeting room and prepare snacks and fruits. About half an hour later, the doorbell rang, and the Hong Kong Governor Su Xingjian and his wife entered Xia Yu''s house with gifts. After a warm reception, the Governor¡¯s wife stayed downstairs and chatted with Li Qian, Xia Mu and others. Xia Yu and Su Xingjian went upstairs to the living room. "Governor Su, please sit down!" "Thank you!" "Governor Su, I left Xiangjiang for nearly a year, and when I came back, I found that Xiangjiang has changed a lot. You have contributed a lot. Thank you for your dedication to Xiangjiang." "I will use tea instead of wine, to toast you." "Mr. Xia is polite. I should respect you. I just did what I was supposed to do. For Xiangjiang to make such a big change, the key lies in the foundation you laid down, Mr. Xia." "I have been in politics for so many years, I have never had such a relaxed experience in the past two years, and I have such a great political achievement." Facing Xia Yu''s toast, Su Xingjian lowered his posture. "Haha, then a toast to our happy cooperation." "Cheers!" After the courtesy, the distance between the two has narrowed again. Su Xingjian sent a sincere gratitude to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, on behalf of the Monroe family, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. You will always be our Monroe family. best friend." Xia Yu smiled openly and said kindly: "I have always treated my friends like this. I wish the friendship between us last forever." "Most definitely!" Su Xingjian said solemnly. He has tasted the sweetness of cooperating with Xia Yu. As the head of the Monroe family, he is reluctant to let go of Xia Yu''s thigh. His Monroe family was actually a civilian class before him, so in the past few decades, he has also been engaged in diplomatic work and transferred in various countries. Most people from large families of his age have higher positions than him. He himself is the upper limit of the Monroe family! When he came to Xiangjiang, he himself was ready for retirement, but he didn''t expect this to be the second starting point for the Monroe family. He himself can''t leave, he has no promotion, and his potential is just like that. But his two sons are still young! Under his careful nurturing, both sons have good abilities, but they have poor opportunities and backgrounds compared to others. After coming to Xiangjiang, the political journey of his two sons went from rough to smooth and full of light. Since May 1982, it has only been more than a year now, and both sons have entered the political arena and are among the more important positions. The eldest son entered the finance department, and the younger son entered the diplomatic department. Although they are not in high positions, they are already middle-level. The next steps of the two sons are trying to become parliamentarians, which requires great exposure. Peter Monroe knows that if you talk about the power of the media, this is definitely an uncrowned king, and the future of his son is tied to Xia Yu. In terms of family assets, he calculated that in the past year or so, relying on investment, the Monroe family''s assets have increased by 5.36 million pounds, which directly increased the Monroe family''s assets by four times! Moreover, there are still traces of this 5.36 million pounds, and no one can grasp his legal and compliant income! Life is nothing more than power and wealth, but at a deeper level, it is social status. And these, he knew very well, Xia Yu gave him! So although he is the Governor of Hong Kong appointed by the British government, he also knows how to do many things. "Mr. Xia, Hong Kong''s GDP growth rate reached 38.35% last year. The strategic blueprint effect of the''one core, six pillars'' established by the Hong Kong government has emerged. This year has just begun. What direction do you think Hong Kong should focus on this year? " Su Xingjian took the initiative to consult Xia Yu, as if he was a subordinate. Xia Yu smiled slightly and was not polite. After thinking about it, he said, "I will simply provide a few immature opinions for your reference." "Okay, please speak!" Su Xingjian cheered up and looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu began to elaborate on his point of view: "First of all, in terms of people¡¯s livelihood and well-being, I suggest focusing on education and housing. The strategic blueprint of Xiangjiang is destined to require a large number of high-quality talents. Higher-level education is obviously insufficient, and the number of universities is small. I suggest building a few more universities to cover all fields." "In terms of housing, increase the construction of public rental housing, alleviate social conflicts, enhance people''s happiness, reduce people''s living burden, release residents'' consumption ability, and allow money to flow, so that funds cannot be suppressed by real estate." Su Xingjian nodded and said: "The government has plans to increase its efforts in housing policy, and plans to increase cooperation with Jiuding Real Estate Group. This year, we must achieve the goal of putting another 100,000 public rental housing into the society." "As for high-quality education, there are indeed big shortcomings. After I go back, I will let the Education Department make plans." "Mr. Xia, what about other aspects?" Xia Yu didn''t answer right away, squinted his eyes and started thinking after drinking a sip of tea. Su Xingjian did not bother and waited patiently and quietly. The starting point of Xia Yu''s thinking is still to focus on the development of Xiangjiang, especially the long-term strategic development goal of "one core and six pillars". One big core financial service industry doesn''t say anything about it. He has already made up for shortcomings in various aspects such as systems, institutions, platforms, and exchange rates. There is not much he can do. It all depends on management and endogenous development. And six pillars: trade and logistics industry, electronics and high-tech industry, heavy machinery manufacturing industry, petrochemical industry, health industry, tourism and entertainment industry. Every pillar is developing, and the New Territories has become a super large construction site. What can promote these six pillars is...transportation! By the way, at the current pace of development, although Kai Tak International Airport can still operate normally, it seems that it can''t keep up with the speed... v3 Chapter 1292: Monopolize the traffic of Hong Kong "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked Su Xingjian: "Governor Su, what was the passenger volume of Kai Tak International Airport last year?" "I remember it was written in the government''s annual work report last year. I didn''t pay much attention when I read it before. Is it seven million or eight million?" This data makes Su Xingjian also big head. But at any rate, he was in charge of Xiangjiang, and he read the report more often, so he kept his eyebrows thinking for a long time, but still remembered. "I remember that the annual passenger traffic reached 8.57 million, the cargo throughput reached 439,000 tons, and the number of aircraft flying exceeded 52,000." "What about the maximum passenger capacity of Kai Tak International Airport?" Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked another key question. Su Xingjian knew Xia Yu''s purpose. He immediately said: "In 1982, the fourth phase of the expansion project of the airport passenger terminal was completed. I remember that it was built by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. At that time, I also participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony." "According to the data after the fourth phase of the expansion, the annual standard passenger volume is 10 million, and it can reach 12 million under high load." Xia Yu said, "Ten million person-times." "It reached 8.57 million passengers last year. The tourism and entertainment industry is one of the six pillars of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang itself is an island. Air passenger transportation is the biggest support for the tourism and entertainment industry." "Such a small passenger flow is not enough." "I estimate that by 1986, the passenger flow will exceed 10 million." "If Xiangjiang develops well, it might be possible to achieve it in early 1985, but then it will be too late." Xia Yu is very clear about the future of Xiangjiang. He remembered that in the year before the return of Hong Kong, Hong Kong had reached 30 million passengers in international passenger transport throughout the year, ranking third in the world''s airports, which was terrifying. By the time he was reborn in later generations, he had reached a passenger throughput of more than 70 million passengers and a cargo throughput of more than 5 million tons! It¡¯s only a peak of 12 million visits, so where does it go? Su Xingjian looked a little heavy and said, "Mr. Xia said that the Kai Tak International Airport expansion project must be carried out immediately." Xia Yu nodded and said, "It is necessary to start the expansion immediately, but I have one more suggestion." The fitness child Su Xing leaned forward slightly: "Mr. Xia, please also give instructions." Xia Yu drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and then said: "The Kai Tak International Airport is located in the Kowloon City District. The area of ??the Kowloon City District is too small. The entire district is only 100,000 square kilometers, and the permanent population is large. The expansion cost of the airport is very high. The difficulty is also great, and the potential is insufficient." "In fact, at this time, Kai Tak International Airport is no longer in line with Hong Kong''s positioning, and it is destined to fail to keep up in the future." "For Hong Kong to become an international city, it must have an international airport that meets the requirements. The best way is to build a new international airport, and Kai Tak International Airport will be used as a transitional airport, and one more phase of expansion will do." "Given the geographical conditions of the Hong Kong River, it is best to put it in the outlying island area. Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, is good." Xia Yu made suggestions directly based on the situation in the previous life. In the previous life, the Hong Kong International Airport was built at Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, in the western outlying islands of the New Territories. The Outlying Islands District is also famous for being a sparsely populated area in Hong Kong. It covers the largest area in Hong Kong. The whole district is composed of more than 20 large and small islands, with a total area of ??168 square kilometers, but only a small population. A mere 40,000 people. To build an international airport in this place, apart from anything else, the cost of land acquisition and demolition alone is the lowest. The land is basically owned by the Hong Kong government, and construction can be started after the demarcated land is leveled. Su Xingjian was shocked by Xia Yu''s proposal to open a new airport directly, but he did not refute it at all. He directly agreed with it, and entered the level of how to implement it. He raised a few questions. "Mr. Xia, I fully agree with the construction of a new airport, but if it is to be built on Lantau Island, in addition to the airport, the most basic land transportation facilities need to be built. There is no subway and the roads are ordinary roads. " "Especially like the blueprint you have drawn up, ordinary buses are not enough. It is best to have a subway directly connected to the airport. The Xiangjiang Underground Railway Company is still losing money, and the subways in the city are still being built." "If these aspects are combined to invest, it will take a long time, and the financial pressure will be great." Speaking of this, Su Xingjian''s eyebrows were filled with sorrow. Although Hong Kong¡¯s fiscal revenue skyrocketed last year, no matter how much money is spent, it must be fully coordinated. Housing and education policies are already two big players. If money is invested in these two big holes, I am afraid that there will be great resistance from the people of Hong Kong and even the Hong Kong government. After all, the new airport is the future, not the most anxious. As far as the subway is concerned, the Hong Kong Island Line in the urban areas, such as the Admiralty to Chai Wan section, the Sheung Wan to Central section, the Kwun Tong line and other densely populated urban areas have not yet opened to traffic. In this case, if the subway is first built in a deserted place, the resistance is imaginable! Even if he, as the Governor of Hong Kong, fully supports Xia Yu, it will cause a huge disturbance in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu can understand Su Xingjian''s concerns. But he already has a solution. Isn''t it the pressure to build a new international airport? How much does the subway company lose? Don''t be afraid! Since these two are two big burdens to finances, let him do it! Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and said: "In this case, the new international airport is privately constructed and operated by me, and Xiangjiang Metro will sell it to me too!" Su Xingjian widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Mr. Xia, are you sure?" "Since its establishment in 1975, the Xiangjiang Metro Company has been losing money every year. Even though there have been lines open to traffic since 1979, the cost of building a new subway has become higher and higher each year, and the expenditures have also increased." "I have learned that the loss of the subway company is a common situation in all countries and regions in the world, so there is no private involvement. It is all operated by the government and operated by government subsidies." "If you want, I can solve all problems for you, but I''m afraid it will affect you." Xia Yu nodded calmly: "I''m not kidding, Xiangjiang Metro will sell it to me, I''ll run it." "But the Hong Kong government has to make a separate policy to avoid my loss." Su Xingjian said without hesitation: "No problem." Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Well, these days, first sell the Xiangjiang Metro Company to me. As for the specific policy requirements, I will let someone make a plan later, and you will deal with it at that time." Now that the Hong Kong MTR Corporation is losing money, it is because the Hong Kong government has not found a correct development path. You know, the former Xiangjiang Metro Company was one of the few profitable metro companies in the world, with annual revenue of more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, net profits of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and a market value of more than 280 billion! Xiangjiang Metro is also a learning target for major mainland metro companies! The reason why Xiangjiang Metro Company is so successful is because of its special development model-"Metro + Property". "Metro + property" is coordinated by the subway company to closely integrate railway planning, construction, and operation with the planning, construction, and market operation of properties along the line. During construction or after operation, combine the development of characteristic superstructures to obtain benefits . The key to this is that the subway company is solely responsible for the overall planning, design, construction, operation, and market planning of the railway and the property, so that the subway and the property can achieve the greatest synergy. The development model of "Metro + Property" has enabled Xiangjiang Metro to build various characteristic and significant property projects on nearly half of the stations which not only brings huge profits, but also solves the needs of engineering construction. Part of the funding source, while leaving a large number of high-quality property assets, has brought long-term stable income to Xiangjiang Metro. The fact that so many high-quality land can be obtained is because of the policies given by the Hong Kong Government. It is possible to adjust the land properties within the radius of 400-800 meters (5-10 minutes walk) around the Xiangjiang Metro Rail Station. Agricultural land and industrial land can be turned into commercial land. This authority is not small, and the land is still available at an ultra-low price! Isn''t the Pengcheng Metro Company, a profitable mainland China, a well-known big landlord in Guangdong Province? As long as it has this policy authority, it will be easy for the Xiangjiang MTR Corporation to turn its losses into profit. With his contribution and influence to Xiangjiang, let Xiangjiang Metro Company enjoy this policy. Isn''t it a matter of sprinkling water? However, it is better to take over the Xiangjiang Metro Company at a low price, and then apply this policy to it. After that, Xia Yu chatted with Su Xingjian for a long time, and gave a lot of strategic opinions on the development of Xiangjiang, and Su Xingjian said that all of them would seriously consider implementation. Until about nine o''clock in the evening, Su Xingjian and his wife left. Xia Yu remembered the affairs of tonight and planned to handle it tomorrow. Now he already has buses, ferries, passenger and cargo airlines. If he grasps the subway and airport, the entire transportation market in Hong Kong will belong to him. By the way, maybe you can open another taxi company, then it''s complete... PS: I''m sorry, it''s a little late, I finally rushed out of Chapter 2 before 12 o''clock. After reading it, remember to vote for a monthly recommendation vote. After reading it, please wash and sleep, good night v3 Chapter 1293: Killer "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Early the next morning, Xia Yu called Cathay Pacific¡¯s President Wei Li and ordered him to form the Hong Kong International Airport Management Company and to make preparations for the construction of the airport. Later, Xia Yu ordered Jiuding Securities to arrange a team to connect with the Hong Kong government and acquire the Xiangjiang Metro Company as soon as possible. After arranging these two emergency tasks, he slowed down, and then asked the think tank to sort out the situation of the Xiangjiang taxi industry and hand it over to him. Last night, I was inspired to think of the taxi industry in Hong Kong. When I was sleeping, my mind diverged, and I thought of more benefits besides enhancing the linkage effect in the transportation field. For example, one of the biggest benefits is to help Tiangong Automobile Group. As long as you have a taxi company, you absolutely need to purchase a batch of cars as taxis, or even a few hundred, which is a few million dollars in sales. If you purchase thousands of vehicles, it is an order of tens of millions of dollars. And with the taxi company, with his patience, wanting to get a license is simply a breeze. However, it is very difficult for ordinary people to obtain a taxi license. In this case, the taxi company can choose to lease the license. At that time, a binding condition can be added. You must drive a Tiangong car. Tiangong Automobile has brought in a batch of orders. The most important thing is that taxis travel across Hong Kong. They are entirely live advertisements and have a great publicity effect on the Tiangong Automobile brand. Plus there are body ads. No matter what you think, opening a taxi company is an excellent business. So Xia Yu took heart! ... Based on the observation and analysis of the Xiangjiang Society by Jiuding Think Tank and the annual report provided by the Transport Department, Xia Yu quickly came up with what he needed. After going to work in the afternoon, the investigation report was in Xia Yu''s hands. "Survey Report on the Hong Kong Taxi Industry" (not called a taxi, once the taxi is connected with "the", it is very awkward) Xia Yu drank tea leisurely and flipped through the investigation report. The Hong Kong taxi industry existed in 1920, and it developed into 1983 last year. The whole Hong Kong has registered and issued 14,857 taxi license plates. Among the 14,857 taxi license plates, 12,491 were in the urban area and 2,366 were in the New Territories. The New Territories license plate is actually a suburban license plate. Taxis with this license plate charge lower fees than taxis in the city. In the taxi market, there are also some taxi companies whose names are basically "XX Cars". Excluding the taxis that are managed by affiliated companies, only taxis with licenses are counted. Taihe Motors has the largest number of taxis in Hong Kong, with 518 urban taxis, which are recognized as the industry leader and belong to Xiangjiang Wujia. Then the bottom nine are more slacking, and the second-place loyal car dealer holds 154 taxis. When it comes to the tenth place, he has 102 taxis, which is worth more than one hundred. Seeing this so-called top ten in the industry, Xia Yu''s mouth raised slightly. The taxi industry in Hong Kong is too watery. He can beat the so-called top ten in the industry with the flick of his fingers. Among other things, the strongest Taihe Motor Company has only 518 cars. As far as vehicle assets are concerned, 50 million Hong Kong dollars is worthless. This has to be considered in the case of brand-new cars! The valuable is the license plate! Thinking of license plates, it seems that after the Hong Kong government tightened the license plates, the value of a taxi license plate is as high as 7 million Hong Kong dollars! A proper card equals a suite! At present, the Hong Kong government has not yet restricted the number of licenses, and it is not worth much at all. "No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat. Anyway, it is more about the significance of strategic development and the linkage effect." "It doesn''t matter if you stock up on license plates, you can get thousands of them, and it will be worth tens of billions in the future, which is more cost-effective than stocking antiques..." Shaking his head with a chuckle, Xia Yu threw the report aside, called Liu Sanquan, the president of Jiuding Transportation Group, instructed him to set up a taxi company, and informed him of the specific requirements, and then hung up the phone. This kind of trivial matter, just let it be done by the people below. As the Chinese New Year approaches, he will have to review the financial reports, annual meetings and benefits of major companies. In addition to other things, his time is precious. But no matter how precious, when important people are found, he will have plenty of time. On the morning of January 23, when Xia Yu was working at the headquarters of Jiuding Building, He Chaoqiong came to Xia Yu''s office happily. "A Yu, you are so amazing!" As soon as he entered the door, He Chaoqiong said happily. Xia Yu got up and got off his seat, Feng Qingyun smiled and said, "Is everything received?" "Hmm!" "Too many, whether it is emeralds or diamond embryos, it is twice as much as the company used for the whole year last year, and the quality is very good." "You are really amazing, where did you buy so many?" He Chaoqiong nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of exploration and admiration towards Xia Yu. Xia Yu will definitely not tell He Chaoqiong how he came here, and there is no need to let him touch those things. So Xia Yu pretended to say mysteriously: "Don''t guess how it came. Anyway, as long as you know that from now on, the best jade will be in our hands, and the diamond will not be caught by anyone." "You, expand and run the company with peace of mind." "Hmm!" "I will try my best to compete with Chow Tai Fook! The leading position must belong to us!" He Chaoqiong smiled like a flower, tapped his head, and did not ask any more questions. Anyway, Xia Yu said don''t worry, then don''t worry. "By the way, it''s the peak season for jewelry sales. I''ll give you some more suggestions." "It just happened in these two days." "Sit down and eat some fruit first, I''ll bring it to you." After speaking, Xia Yu returned to his desk and took out a piece of paper from the drawer. The above is his marketing magic weapon for Eternal Jewelry! "Here, Chao Qiong, take a look first." When he came to the sofa, Xia Yu gave the paper to He Chaoqiong, then sat down and looked at her with a smile. He Chaoqiong fixed his eyes on the paper, and was immediately attracted by the quoted sentence. She subconsciously read out: "Diamonds are forever, and one will be passed down forever-eternal jewelry!" "This ad slogan fits our brand too much and is too meaningful." "And once the promotion goes out, consumers think of our eternal jewelry, they will think of diamonds, and vice versa, our diamond jewelry will certainly explode in sales." Seeing He Chaoqiong''s surprise look, Xia Yu couldn''t help smiling. This copywriting was the most classic copywriting for diamonds in the previous life Because of this sentence, I don''t know how many women are obsessed with diamonds, or how many men gnash their teeth. In the previous life, De Beers collected the Chinese translation of "Adiamondisforever" through Xiangjiang Ogilvy and Mather. In the end, a university teacher wrote this sentence. And this copywriting, after entering the mainland, it took only ten years for mainland consumers to widely accept the diamond culture. De Beers has benefited immensely from this. But now this sentence is tied to Eternal Jewelry. The two sentences carry the characters "Yong" and "Heng" respectively. De Beers can only eat ashes behind. "Chao Qiong, the specific effect will be visible this year." "You have read the following first, and there are two more ideas for gold jewelry." After Xia Yu finished speaking, He Chaoqiong calmed down his excitement and immediately looked down. 1. "Buy it Now". The "Buy it Now" price based on cost plus reasonable profit has become synonymous with genuine goods at a reasonable price. 2. Determine the gold fineness standard. Let the Legislative Council, in the legislation of gold products, set Eternal Jewelry 999.9 pure gold jewellery (10,000 pure gold) as the fineness standard of Hong Kong Gold, and establish the image of Eternal Jewelry Gold = Gold Quality. He Chaoqiong understood the benefits of these two ideas in an instant, and they were permanent benefits. As long as this image is established in the minds of consumers, the gold of eternal jewelry will become the first choice. As for whether the Legislative Council will do this, He Chaoqiong has confidence in Xia Yu. Since he wrote this, it is certainly possible. "A Yu, you are such a genius!" "With your help, I am confident that I can surpass Chow Tai Fook in two months at most." "Then I will wait and see..." v3 Chapter 1294: Chow Tai Fooks Black Hand "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! At this time, although the precious metals industry was developed in Hong Kong, there was no gold product law. Last year, in order to regulate the gold market in Hong Kong, the Legislative Council had set out to formulate a complete set of laws on gold products and entrusted the assistance of the largest standard law firm in Hong Kong to speed up the process. By now, this gold production method has come to an end. However, with Xia Yu''s control over the Legislative Council. He wants to make the 999.9 standard of Eternal Gold become the legal gold standard of Hong Kong, and that is just a sentence. In this regard, Zheng Yutong is not as good as Xia Yu. The gold product law cannot be implemented during the peak season of the Spring Festival. However, the copywriting and promotion of "Diamonds are forever, and one is forever" and the replacement of jewelry signs in all stores are simple. Just when the Eternal Jewelry Company is accumulating power and preparing to explode. The headquarters of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company. Chairman and President Zheng Yutong is in the office dealing with official duties. Although to him, the volume of New World Development Group is larger than that of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, but he has not stepped down as chairman and president of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company, and he still does it himself. In addition to the decline in the prospects of the real estate industry being suppressed by Xia Yu and others, the reason for the slowdown in the development growth of New World Development Group lies in the reason. There is a more important reason, that is, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company is the foundation on which he started his family, and it was also passed on to him by his father-in-law. Without Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company, there would be no him now. Therefore, it is his long-cherished wish to develop Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company into the world''s top jewellery company. For a long time, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company has dominated the entire market. Even if the second child Chow Sang Sang always jumped up and down, he still could not shake the position of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company. But the situation has changed in the past two years! Eternal Jewelry Company turned out! And since its emergence, it has developed at an extremely fast speed, chasing his Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company madly. Eternal Jewelry Company is different from Chow Sang Sang Jewelry Company. It has a stronger capital background than him, so he can only fight with all his strength. However, after two years of fighting, he discovered that Eternal Jewelry Company was expanding too fast, and in the second half of last year, relying on the resources of the Jiuding Consortium, it developed in large strides, surpassing Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. That''s right, it''s already surpassed! Although the turnover announced by Eternal Jewelry Company last year was 20 million Hong Kong dollars lower than that of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company, it was the annual turnover. In March and December 1983, the monthly turnover gap between Eternal Jewellery Company and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company was completely different in these two months. The gap in March was much larger. In December, the financial report released by Eternal Jewelry Company showed a turnover of 238 million Hong Kong dollars. And Chow Tai Fook Jewellery did not announce the monthly turnover, the actual hidden data is 227 million Hong Kong dollars. The Eternal Jewelry Company''s is also higher by 11 million Hong Kong dollars. This means that in 1984, if the growth rate of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company could not exceed that of Eternal Jewelry Company, then this year would lose the throne of the industry leader that has been sitting for decades. The mall is like a battlefield! In the face of this situation, Zheng Yu was fierce and seized the opportunity to make a serious blow to Eternal Jewelry Company. He did not control the political situation in Myanmar, but he seized the opportunity to block the way for Eternal Jewelry Company to buy jade. He took the initiative to fight for De Beers'' share of diamond embryos. What surprised him was that De Beers easily agreed. With the gold alone, he was helpless. After all, gold was too flooded and he could buy it as long as he had money. However, in his opinion, the interruption of the supply of diamonds and emeralds is enough to hurt Eternal Jewelry Company''s vitality. Therefore, in this Spring Festival jewelry peak season, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company launched a full range of marketing actions in an attempt to further seize the market. Eternal Jewelry Company followed, then there is a risk of out of stock. If you don''t follow, you can only be robbed of the market. With the current situation, Eternal Jewelry Company also increased its marketing efforts during the Spring Festival. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" Zheng Yu said in a deep voice, stretched his head and looked out the door. Incoming were the company''s vice presidents Wu Yuxiang and Sun Xingwei, his two powerful talents. Wu Yuxiang is in charge of sales, and Sun Xingwei is in charge of logistics procurement. "Chairman!" The two went to Zheng Yutong and greeted them in unison. "sit." "Thank you Chairman." "Xingwei, how is the situation?" After letting the two sit down, Zheng Yu looked at Sun Xingwei and asked. Over the past month, he asked Sun Xingwei to pay close attention to the changes in the raw material market, focusing on the procurement of Eternal Jewelry Company. "Chairman, until now, the purchasing department of Eternal Jewelry Company hasn''t moved much. They are all the same as those who have nothing to do. They have not left Xiangjiang to purchase diamonds and emeralds." Sun Xingwei looked a little ugly to report. Zheng Yu frowned and muttered to himself: "I haven''t purchased yet, there must be demons if the teacher is abnormal!" "Do they have other stocks?" Sun Xingwei took the initiative to say: "Chairman, I have investigated the purchase situation of Eternal Jewelry Company in the past two years, and their inventory is definitely not much." "But our people really didn''t find out where they went to buy." "This is also the most puzzling thing." There is no discussion about this issue, and Zheng Yutong thought for a long time, but chose to leave it aside for the time being. He looked at Wu Yuxiang and asked about the sales: "Yuxiang, how is the effect of the activity from January to now?" As soon as this problem came up, Wu Yuxiang''s face did not smile. He whispered a report: "Chairman, since the event, the sales of all our stores are 198 million Hong Kong dollars, which is about to exceed 200 million Hong Kong dollars." "The highest single-day revenue is 8.42 million Hong Kong dollars." Hearing this result, Zheng Yu''s brow furrowed even deeper. This data is higher than during the same period last year in marketing, but the high is also limited. During the Spring Festival marketing period in January last year, the highest single-day revenue was 8.36 million Hong Kong dollars. There have been 24 days of activities this year, and a month has passed before it was so much higher. If you take into account the changes in prices and residents'' consumption capacity, it can be said that there has been no increase this year. "What''s the situation with Eternal Jewelry Company''s store?" After a long silence, Zheng Yutong asked with some dissatisfaction. Wu Yuxiang lowered his head and replied: "I will let people go to see it. UU Reading eternal jewellery company''s store has the same level of traffic as ours, and the specific turnover is unclear." almost! Zheng Yu sank with one heart, and the feeling of being on his back became stronger. He is very clear that the number of stores of Eternal Jewelry Company is more than that of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, and the turnover of a single store is less than that of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. Now Wu Yuxiang actually said that the passenger flow of Eternal Jewelry Company''s store is almost the same as that of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, that''s not bad! For a long time, a decisive color flashed in Zheng Yutong''s eyes and decisively ordered: "Yuxiang, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. We will take out the top batch of diamond jewelry in our inventory, increase publicity, and make sure to let consumers know that the best diamond jewelry in Xiangjiang is our Chow Tai Fook Jewelry." "In addition..." "Re-buy the non-Jiuding newspaper industry media, release the news that Eternal Jewelry Company has lost the qualification of De Beers purchaser, and discuss the shortcomings of Eternal Jewelry Company''s diamond quality." "Even if Jiuding Newspaper Company is the king of the media, in the face of the fact that it exists, I don''t believe that black can turn white!" Wu Yuxiang stunned, subconsciously straightened his waist, and responded loudly: "Yes!" "There is another, to speed up the expansion of new stores, and our pace of development is still conservative." Zheng Yutong thought for a while and added again. "Understood, I''ll have someone re-plan now." "Xingwei, if you do the original work, you have to cooperate with Yuxiang." "Okay, Chairman!" ... After the two left, Zheng Yu sat in the same position, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a white mist. There is still a touch of worry on the face covered by the white mist... PS: The second one is delivered, ask for a monthly pass v3 Chapter 1295: Brazenly counterattack "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Chow Tai Fook is a giant in the industry anyway, with a gathering of elites and extremely efficient missions. Early the next morning, an advertisement for Chow Tai Fook Jewellery appeared in dozens of newspapers, and TVB also launched an advertisement for Chow Tai Fook Jewellery. After hundreds of top diamond jewelry were announced, they immediately aroused heated discussions among the people who eat melons. In sharp contrast with Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, it is Eternal Jewelry Company. Many newspapers have reported the bad news of the interruption of the raw material supply channel of Eternal Jewelry Company. Early in the morning, Xia Yu saw the news from other newspapers, and knew that Chow Tai Fook Jewelry must be behind the scenes when he moved his toes. But Xia Yu just smiled, but didn''t do anything, as if he didn''t know it. He wanted to see if He Chaoqiong could solve the trouble of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. This is an excellent opportunity for exercise. Even if He Chaoqiong let him down, he can easily clean up the mess. And just look at... Just when Xia Yu was looking forward to it. In Eternal Jewelry Company, He Chaoqiong has called a high-level meeting. Different from the weak image in front of Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong at this time is wearing a lady''s suit, showing a capable temperament all over. "Boom!" After everyone had read the newspaper in their hands, He Chaoqiong knocked on the table and said calmly: "Everyone understands the situation. Chow Tai Fook Jewelry launched a fierce attack on us, trying to hit us hard in one fell swoop." "Why do you do this?" "That''s because our sales performance during this period of time is very outstanding, so they have to do this. We should be happy, because it means that they are already poor. As long as we solve this wave of attacks, then we will be infinitely greeted. the future of." "Vice President Zhou, tell everyone about the company''s latest operations!" Finally, He Chaoqiong looked at Zhou Hexuan who was sitting on the left hand side and instructed him. "Okay, President." Zhou Hexuan first nodded towards He Chaoqiong in response, then looked at other people, and said loudly: "Twenty-five days have passed in January. In these twenty-five days, our turnover has reached 217 million Hong Kong dollars. The maximum daily turnover is 8.88 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a very lucky number." "According to current trends, it is expected that in January, our turnover is expected to hit 270 million Hong Kong dollars, which will be a new record." "Papa......" After Zhou Hexuan finished speaking, everyone in the room smiled. When someone applauded, others followed. For a while, warm applause came to mind in the conference room. After ten seconds, He Chaoqiong raised his hand, and the applause disappeared immediately. Her cold voice sounded again: "Vice President Zhou introduced the situation to everyone just now. The company''s current development momentum is still unabated, so Chow Tai Fook is afraid." "According to the plan laid out yesterday, our original plan was to step on Chow Tai Fook''s jewellery under our feet by steadily hitting and boiling the frogs in warm water." "But since Chow Tai Fook Jewellery chose to do it first, then we have to adjust the plan." "Fight a tough battle with them, crush them in all directions!" "Now I set the task." Hearing these words, everyone sitting straightened up subconsciously and picked up a pen to record. "First, urge advertising companies to speed up the production of all price tags, and at the same time register the''Buy it Now'' trademarks and patents as quickly as possible. This aspect needs to be implemented by Vice President Zhou." "Secondly, the product development department will give priority to the production of the top batch of diamond embryos and emeralds in accordance with the top-level designs made before the release, and speed up the production on the premise of ensuring quality and quantity. "Isn''t Chow Tai Fook that our diamonds are all defective and inferior to them?" "Then we will compete with them with larger and purer diamonds." "And we have better emeralds than them!" "Third, the marketing department has increased its advertising efforts. I want it to bombard the copywriting of''Diamonds forever, a forever spread'', so that consumers can form ideas as quickly as possible." "fourth¡­¡­" "Everyone will perform their duties, and the meeting will be adjourned!" After arranging the work of book friends, He Chaoqiong announced the end of the meeting, got up and walked out of the conference room first. Others followed and walked hurriedly towards their own department, all with high spirits. This is a war to lay the throne of the industry, we must go all out to win clean and beautiful! ... The first thing to do is the marketing department. In the afternoon, a batch of evening papers advertised the classic copy of "Diamonds are forever, and an eternal jewel-eternal jewelry". Then in the evening, every channel of Global Satellite TV showed Eternal Jewelry Company advertisements, especially the advertising spaces around 30 Minutes in News, which were replaced with Eternal Jewelry Company''s. These two excellent advertising spaces were previously owned by Jiuding Real Estate Group and Tiangong Electronics Group. Now Everlasting Jewelry Company has proposed to pay for a period of time, and both groups have agreed. That night, Zheng Yutong turned on the TV before eating and was ready to watch the "News 30 Minutes" program on Global Satellite TV. Today, "News 30 Minutes" has established absolute news authority in the hearts of all audiences. Report local hot news in the first fifteen minutes, and report hot current events outside of Hong Kong in the next fifteen minutes. Although TVB launched similar programs, it was completely beaten by Global Satellite TV, and there was not much viewership at all. No way, TVB simply doesn''t have the powerful news gathering and editing system behind Global Satellite TV. It blindly imitates Global Satellite TV and can only be ashamed behind it. TVB once struggled, but later recognized the cruel reality. The reason why it didn''t cut it off was just a "must have" mentality. For Zheng Yutong, "News 30 Minutes" is a must-watch program every night. This program has an excellent function of filtering information. As long as you watch this news program, the global context and general direction are basically You can live with confidence. Just when he had just peeled a grape and was about to throw it into his mouth. An advertisement on TV ended, followed by an ad slogan, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com made him stunned on the spot. "Diamonds are forever, and one will be passed down forever-eternal jewelry!" "Eternal Jewelry is celebrating the Spring Festival, and the unparalleled quality is given to her beloved..." Although this advertisement is relatively long and will continue to be played later, Zheng Yutong''s mind repeatedly echoed the first sentence. When he came back to his senses, his expression became extremely solemn, and his breathing became heavier. "Eternal Jewelry''s counterattack is coming...Who thought of the copywriting..." Zheng Yu murmured to himself, feeling tremendous pressure. Just such a slogan binds timeless jewelry to diamonds, as if timeless jewelry is synonymous with diamonds. This is extremely detrimental to Chow Tai Fook Jewellery. Then, Zheng Yutong thought of something deeper. He just let people spread the news that Eternal Jewelry Company does not have high-quality diamonds, Eternal Jewelry fought back. Such an advertisement is definitely not made today, so it means that Eternal Jewelry Company had been preparing before. Eternal Jewelry Company dares to use this advertisement for marketing, it must have enough high-quality diamond jewelry to support it. So here comes the question. Where did Eternal Jewelry Company get its diamonds? This problem has troubled him all night, and that night, Zheng Yutong suffered from insomnia. By the early morning of the next day, Jiuding Newspaper Company exerted its strength, and the advertisements of Eternal Jewelry Company appeared overwhelmingly. The ad slogan "Diamonds last forever, a forever circulated-eternal jewelry" has a very high exposure rate. Even on the Kowloon Bus, the Hong Kong Ferry and other transportation vehicles, this slogan is used. When Zheng Yutong rushed to the company, the atmosphere of the company had become very depressing, and no one could see a smile on his face. v3 Chapter 1296: Record results "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Chow Tai Fook Jewelry''s attack, under the counterattack of Eternal Jewelry, seemed very weak. After all, Xia Yu started as a media player, even if he didn''t do it himself, but the strength of the media empire of the Jiuding Consortium was placed there. Once Eternal Jewelry Company used it, the effect was bursting. Dozens of newspapers bought by Chow Tai Fook Jewellery were completely crushed and rumors were directly overwhelmed. In particular, Eternal Jewelry Company also brought out top diamonds and emeralds, and their fineness and grade are higher than those of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. In fact, this is reasonable. Although Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Co. takes its goods from DTC, it is only one of DTC''s 125 global partners, and its strength is only ranked in the middle reaches. More and more top-notch goods are snatched by large jewelers in developed countries in Europe and America. Now, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry can¡¯t be said to be soup, but it¡¯s just bone-in meat. The Eternal Jewelry Company is different! Blackwater International went directly to Africa to conquer the diamond veins, and even went to the no-cost trading of grabbing the goods. Of course, it can get better diamonds than Chow Tai Fook bought, and the amount is still large! In front of the many top diamond jewelry and jade jewelry of Eternal Jewelry Company, the jewelry of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry has been eclipsed. The gap between the two jewellery companies quickly spread among the wealthy children. As for the very innovative "Buy it Now" that followed, it gave other jewelry companies in the industry a heavy blow in the sales system. A few days passed in a flash, and it was February 1 in a blink of an eye. This day is the 30th of the Lunar New Year. However, the jewellery industry is different from many industries. Holidays are the peak period of sales. Therefore, the jewellery industry is operating as usual, but the employees are paid more. A few days later, Zheng Yutong has accepted the cruel reality. Eternal Jewelry Company does not know where to find a more powerful procurement channel than before, so the shortcomings have been filled. Chow Tai Fook Jewelry wants to compete and can only compare hard power. Only in terms of hard power, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry is behind. The throne of the leader who has been sitting for decades is destined to abdicate to the virtuous. He didn''t go to the company at all that day, but he had some thoughts, so he asked his subordinates to report to him the development situation in January. In January, the sales of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company was 244.49 million Hong Kong dollars, and the maximum single-day turnover was still 8.42 million Hong Kong dollars before. It is worth noting that in the five days at the end of the month, the sales were 7.91 million, 7.72 million, 7.57 million, 7.42 million and 7.31 million Hong Kong dollars. Declining every day! Although from a trend point of view, the decline in the next two days is relatively slow, but according to this trend, it is not impossible for the daily turnover to fall below 7 million Hong Kong dollars! Perhaps after the onslaught of Eternal Jewelry Company, the turnover will gradually rebound, but as time elapses and Eternal Jewelry Company becomes more and more popular, then the possibility of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry¡¯s counterattack will be lower and lower. If it was Xia Yu who defeated him, it was He Hongshen''s daughter. This was what made Zheng Yutong feel the most frustrated. All his life in Zongheng Shopping Mall, he lost to a junior, still a woman! His fame for the first time may not be kept. There is a problem in the heart. This year, Zheng Yutong is destined to be unable to live well... Zheng Yutong is uncomfortable, but the interior of Eternal Jewelry Company is a festive and lively image. Although it is the 30th year of the new year, all local executives are in the company. In the company''s large conference room, all the middle and senior management gathered together. He Chaoqiong sat on the top podium and announced the company''s achievements to all the employees present. "In the past month, with the joint efforts of all employees, the company has achieved brilliant results." "In the last five days of the month, our company''s sales data were 9.37 million, 9.53 million, 9.71 million, 9.95 million, 10.22 million!" "Yes, on the last day of the month, we successfully achieved a daily sales of 10 million yuan, which not only broke our company''s record, but also broke the record of the Hong Kong jewelry industry!" "Papa......" There was a warm applause from the audience, and everyone was excited about the company''s impressive results. Smiling and watching all the employees applaud, until half a minute later, He Chaoqiong made a stop gesture and continued after the applause went out: "Thanks to the results of the last five days, the company''s total sales reached 200 million that month. 74.12 million Hong Kong dollars!" "This is another brand new record!" "You are the creators of records!" After making a loud announcement, this time He Chaoqiong took the lead in applauding. In the huge conference room, thunderous applause rang out for a long time. Everyone''s complexion flushed with excitement, and their spirits were bursting at this moment. This is an honor that belongs to the company and an honor to all employees. They are the creators of this record! At this moment, a sense of collective honor quickly grew in everyone''s minds. "In order to celebrate this historic moment, the company decided to give out another 10 million Hong Kong dollars as a bonus on the original basis to reward all employees of the company." "I''m also here to wish you all a happy Chinese New Year in advance!" "Papa......" "Wow!" "Thank you Chairman!" "Thank you, Chairman, Happy New Year, Chairman!" ... After the company''s celebration, He Chaoqiong couldn''t wait to find Xia Yu, and she wanted to share the joy of success with Xia Yu. "Uncle and Auntie, happy Chinese New Year." "Xiaomei, Amin, happy Chinese New Year! This is a gift for you." "Chao Qiong is here, what are you doing with presents, sit down." "Thank you sister!" He Chaoqiong brought a bunch of gifts to Xia Yu¡¯s home, and was warmly received by Xia Yu¡¯s parents. She sat for a while and still didn¡¯t see Xia Yu. Just when she was trying to find Xia Yu¡¯s trace, she happened to see Xia Yu from the stairs. appear. She immediately stood up and walked towards Xia Yu, with a bright smile on her face. "Chao Qiong, you are here, you are so happy to meet something, please share it with me." Xia Yu said with a smile. "A Yu, the company''s performance statistics in January have come out, and we have set two records." He Chaoqiong said cheerfully, looking at Xia Yu expectantly, hoping that he would take the initiative to ask. Xia Yu smiled secretly, did not disappoint He Chaoqiong, and asked curiously: "It''s so powerful, just tell me." "The company''s highest single-day revenue last month reached 10.22 million Hong Kong dollars, and its monthly revenue reached 274.12 million Hong Kong dollars. Both set the company''s highest record and also the highest record in the history of the jewelry industry in Hong Kong!" He Chaoqiong immediately said as if offering a treasure, after finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Yu like a child waiting for his parents to praise him. "Haha..." Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing out loud. Said admiringly: "It surprised me too much, Chao Qiong, you, the Queen of Xiangjiang Jewelry, are worthy of the name, and you really didn''t disappoint me." At this time, Xia''s mother Chen Mei in the living room also exclaimed: "Chao Qiong, why are you so good? The company made more than two billion in a month. Isn''t it possible to make three billion in that year?" "Yes, Sister Chao Qiong, you are too powerful, and I will be as powerful as you in the future and become a strong woman!" Xia Xiaomei looked at He Chaoqiong with admiration and regarded He Chaoqiong as her goalXia Yu¡¯s praise made He Chaoqiong excited, and the exclamation of Xia¡¯s mother and Xia Xiaomei made her happy. At the same time, she was more Shy. She embarrassedly said: "It''s not so great, it''s all the credit of A Yu, he solved all the problems, and replaced by someone else can achieve such a high performance." Xia Yu immediately said in an unquestionable tone: "Chao Qiong, don''t underestimate yourself. If you change to someone else, you won''t be able to do so well. Excessive humility is just pride." "Yes, Chaoqiong, A Yu is right. It must be your credit. Tell me, how did you do it?" Xia Mu Chen Mei took He Chaoqiong''s hand and asked with a smile. The environment will change a person! The pampering life in the past few years has brought about tremendous changes to Xia Mu Chenmei, who was once a fisherwoman. The most obvious thing is that her personality has become cheerful and her nagging ability has also improved by several levels. For Xia Yu, the change of his mother is what he wants to see. Seeing his mother''s behavior, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head, showing a helpless smile. At noon, He Chaoqiong stayed at Xia Yu''s house for lunch, and Li Qian was also at home. But after lunch, He Chaoqiong left, and she had to rush back to Omen''s home for the New Year. This Spring Festival, Xia Yu had a very happy time. He planned to rest until the seventh day of the month. But on the fifth day of the fifth day, an emergency encrypted intelligence from the United States forced him to end this leisurely holiday early. No way, this time, the scope of the matter is too large. There are three of the ten largest consortia in the United States, including Rockefeller and Morgan. In addition, the enemy of the Rohir family is also the protagonist! PS: Listen to everyone¡¯s suggestions, this story is still abbreviated, enter the next big story v3 Chapter 1297: Enter Canada Latest website: This time things are very complicated. If Xia Yu had not let intelligence personnel pay close attention to information in various fields in advance, and had also done information integration analysis, there would definitely be no way to accurately grasp the situation. This time the conflict involves between American capital and Canadian capital. Canada, like Australia, is the two strongest member states of the Commonwealth. At this time, Canada''s strength is not to be exaggerated. In terms of gross national product, it ranks seventh in the world, reaching more than 340 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 2.9% of the world''s total. In terms of financial markets, it is also extremely developed, with the number of listed companies ranking fifth in the world, only behind the United States, the United Kingdom and the island countries. But Canada is not the back garden of the United States. After all, this is a country that Britain has ruled for hundreds of years, and British power is deeply rooted. Once, Canada can be said to be the back garden of the Rohill family, completely shrouded by the power of the Rohill family. However, during World War II, the Rohill family suffered heavy losses. American capital led by the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium took the opportunity to attack Canada and successfully entered Canada. In the 1960s, as the influence of American capital in Canada gradually increased, Britain''s international prestige declined, and the Canadian flag changed from the Union Jack to the Maple Leaf Flag. It''s just that Canada is Canada after all, a member of the Commonwealth, and British capital and Canadian capital are constantly resisting American capital. The Rohill family is undoubtedly the most suitable existence to become the leader. Canadian local capital is also united by the Rohill family to continuously regain lost ground. After more than two decades of development, the Rohill family''s influence in Canada has become more and more astonishing, and even the prestige of the Canadian Progressive Conservative Party behind it has become higher and higher, and it is preparing to overthrow the rule of the pro-American Canadian Liberal Party. The national power behind the Canadian Liberal Party is mainly the Rockefeller and Morgan families. Although the two have always been fighting, conflicts within the Canadian Liberal Party are often due to interest issues at this time. But in suppressing the Rohill family, the two big families have always been consistent. After all, they were supported by the Roshir family. Although they are now stronger than the Roshir family, they are aware of the horror of the Roshir family, so they have never let down their vigilance. This time, aware that the strength of the Rohill family in Canada has reached a peak again, and Canada¡¯s own economic pie is large enough, the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium decided to harvest Canada and absorb Canadian nutrients to feed back the United States. At the same time expand the power and influence of the consortium in Canada. The general direction is decided, but how to implement it, there are articles in it. There are many consortia in the United States, and among the top ten consortia, the two that were originally the most arrogant are the Morgan Consortium and the Chicago Consortium. Between 1935 and 1970, Morgan Stanley, one of the two pillars of the Morgan Consortium, played a dominant role. At that time, the only advertising slogan was "If God wants to raise funds, he also needs Morgan Stanley." It''s just that everything has a peak, and the law of prosperity and decline is the same. The Morgan consortium was too arrogant. Despite its extremely powerful strength, it was still besieged by most consortiums. Even with the help of the Citibank consortium, it was also greatly affected. Therefore, the style of the Morgan Consortium has changed. On the contrary, the Chicago consortium is still extremely arrogant and has become an early bird. The financial sector continues to expand and competes with the Morgan consortium. In the petroleum sector, it relies on the ever-expanding financial tentacles, and holds a large number of shares in Indiana Standard Oil and Texaco, which belong to the Rockefeller consortium. The pace of expansion is getting bigger and bigger. While the strength of the Chicago consortium has skyrocketed, it has also caused more and more loopholes in the Chicago consortium. This has also attracted the coveting of the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium. Under the siege of the two giants, the McCormick family, the Wood family, the Amo family, and the Krone family of the Chicago Consortium had just awakened and hurriedly challenged. However, the two major consortia have infiltrated. Due to the large number of families in the Chicago consortium, they cannot be as united as the two giants, so the four major families can only defend themselves. Nowadays, the Chicago Consortium has been unable to thoroughly implement the will of the four major families and has moved forward passively. This time, in order to attack Canada, the Chicago Consortium was promoted to the vanguard position by the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, attacking in its name and taking the greatest risk. As a result, the Chicago consortium will stand up to it. Even if the incident is exposed and the Canadian people are filled with grievances, it will be directed at the Chicago consortium. In addition to this reason, the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium also have other considerations. Compared with other consortia, the Chicago Consortium is a tiger with chaotic brains. Let the Chicago Consortium fight the Bayonet with the Rohill family, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family are picking up people in the back, it is not insidious! Like this kind of layout, if it is confined to the top of the two consortiums, then it is almost impossible for Xia Yu to get information. But who made his gaze penetrate time and space? Under his deliberate arrangement, intelligence personnel kept a close eye on the major financial institutions of the Chicago Consortium and the Canadian financial market, and they were naturally able to collect enough intelligence. This time, Canada will become a battlefield. In addition to the Morgan Consortium, Rockefeller Consortium, Chicago Consortium and the Lowhill Family, which were originally the protagonists, there are Canadian local capital, other consortia in the United States and international hot money. The battlefield will encompass Canada''s entire financial market and political situation. Chaos is bound to be chaotic, but Xia Yu intends to use this opportunity to completely gain a foothold in Canada. No way. Today, his influence in Canada is still too weak. The industrial field is Canada Magna International Co., Ltd., which is an auto parts manufacturer, which is the top ten strength in the industry. In the financial sector, the Canadian branch of Bright Fund can be known. In addition, there are no outstanding results in other areas. Take the banking industry. Xia Yu¡¯s strongest bank in the UK is his own Jiuding Bank, followed by HSBC. The HSBC Bank entered Canada in 1981 and registered the HSBC Bank of Canada. HSBC Bank was not short of money, and with Xia Yu''s capital strength, it should have entered Canada through a series of mergers and acquisitions to rapidly expand the market to gain a foothold. But over the past few years, even though HSBC Bank of Canada has devoted all its efforts to development, Xia Yu is still not satisfied. The total number of branches of HSBC Bank Canada is only 108, with total assets of US$2.6 billion. It has not yet entered the top 50 in Canada, and only ranks 81st. It''s not that HSBC has never thought about rapid expansion through mergers and acquisitions, but without Xia Yu''s direct intervention, it tried three consecutive times without success. The process of acquisition failure is more complicated, but the reason is simple. It was resisted by local banks headed by the Lowhill family and US-owned banks. Even the bank hasn''t got a firm foothold. How can Xia Yu''s consortium enter the market to eat meat? So this time, no matter what, he must go in completely and eat meat on the table! PS: I¡¯ve been working on the data during the day. Everyone can see that there are too many forces involved, and it has to be practical. It is difficult to conceive a logical plot and connect, and there will be updates at night, Ollie gave v3 Chapter 1298: More than 40 billion U.S. dollars Latest website: This time, the forces involved are all of a terrorist level, so Xia Yu didn''t plan to be on the front line, but decided to sit in Xiangjiang and command by remote control. Plan tactics and win a thousand miles away! In order to be foolproof, it is also necessary not to bring risks to one''s original business empire. Then, before participating in this war, in addition to formulating a sound plan of action, we must fully and reasonably prepare ammunition! For this reason, Xia Yu immediately sorted out the funds available to him. Xia Yu does not plan to transfer funds from companies other than financial companies. At his current level, there are too many forces staring at him, the most obvious being the Rohill family. Xiangjiang is his base camp. Although the Roshir family monitors him, although they think it is extremely secretive, they are still discovered by the all-pervasive snare. However, Xia Yu didn''t eliminate it either. After all, after the elimination, a group of people will continue to come over. As long as the Roshir family does not fall, the surveillance will not disappear, and the power will only be stronger and more secretive. Rather than making it so troublesome, it''s better to just let it go. Anyway, as long as the snare is properly monitored, Rohill''s monitoring is only a disease of scabies, and the harm is controllable. In addition to avoiding risks, not using the funds of the apparent entity company, but also taking into account that the Rothier family will not be aware of his financial movements. This time he not only had to calculate the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, but also had to plan the Rohill family, and it would be bad if they noticed it. Companies in the financial sector, even if they want to use them, have different roles in this big operation. Banks need to give full play to the role of financial assistance and acquisitions, and they cannot use their full strength. The ones that really want to play a major role are the British Bright Fund, Heungjiang Jiuding Securities, American Polaris Capital, Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Fund and the secret Galaxy Fund. On the surface, there are only two companies that have a relationship with him, namely Jiuding Securities, which he started, and Guangming Fund, which is a stakeholder behind him. All the other four companies have nothing to do with him. Among the six companies, the most well-funded is the secret Galaxy Fund. Although he invested a lot of money in the island country, he has not been idle in the past year. He is still investing continuously, with more profits than losses. Except for assets that cannot be resold, Xia Yu intends to liquidate some of the investment assets to mobilize US$35 billion. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., without affecting the situation, Xia Yu intends to mobilize 2 billion US dollars to enter the market. As for the Bright Fund, at this time it seems to have developed into a British version of the "Morgan Consortium" with assets exceeding 50 billion U.S. dollars. However, the UK and Europe have a relatively large layout and require a large amount of funds, so this time it should only be adjusted. 3 billion US dollars for admission. And Polaris Capital, because it has been investing funds in the layout of the United States, so idle funds are not particularly large, and can allocate 2 billion US dollars to enter the market. The two pure hedge funds, Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund, are different. After repeated wise investments, the Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund have been sought after by many investors and have become large hedge funds. Julian Robertson and Rey Dario have become the twin kings of Wall Street, but apart from the two of them, no one on Wall Street knows that they are serving the same person. According to the situation reported by the two secretly last month. The Tiger Fund¡¯s assets under management have reached 8.2 billion U.S. dollars, of which its own assets are 1.67 billion U.S. dollars. The assets under management of Bridgewater Fund reached 8.5 billion U.S. dollars, of which its own assets were 1.74 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, there are many banks that the two funds cooperate with. As long as you want, you can use bank leverage to amplify the funds. As for how much money to spend at that time, Xia Yu intends to let Julian Robertson and Rey Dario decide for themselves. For the abilities of these two previous Wall Street kings, Xia Yu was very relieved. The same is true for Bright Fund and Polaris Capital. He informs the plan of action and lets George Berkeley and Peter Lynch take the responsibility. What he really needs to execute is the obvious Jiuding Securities Company and the secret Galaxy Fund. The order of entry of the two companies is also different. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., which has attracted much attention from the Rohill family, has to be put in the back, and it will not be its turn until the secret Galaxy Fund has finished its operations. The six companies can add up to a total of at least 46 billion US dollars to enter. If Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund are more aggressive, 50 billion US dollars to enter the market is not impossible! In any case, the funds are enough to eat the biggest piece of cake. However, Xia Yu is not satisfied with making a good profit. He also wants to use this opportunity to gain more benefits, including Canada and the United States. And this requires him to plan well. However, funds can flow into Canada first. Just when Xia Yu arranged the funds to enter Canada in an orderly manner. HeungKong has exposed a number of blockbuster news one after another, making HeungKong''s capital market surging at the beginning of the new year. On February 9, the Hong Kong government issued a report stating that it would launch 100,000 public rental housing units and plan to build three universities in 1984. As soon as the news came out, the low-level residents in Hong Kong cheered, but real estate stocks fell almost across the board. The group that fell the most was the real estate companies that specialize in the development of housing estates. The larger the proportion of commercial real estate, the smaller the decline in share prices. On February 10, Jiuding Hotel Management Group, which has a market value of up to 8.59 billion Hong Kong dollars, held a press conference. The company announced that it would acquire Shangri-La Hotel Group in the form of new shares. After the merger, the company was renamed Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group, which will further consolidate Asia. The status of the largest hotel group. On February 14, the Hong Kong government and Jiuding Securities jointly held a press conference and announced two news. First, Xiangjiang Metro Company will transfer to Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. at a price of 700 million Hong Kong dollars. The total debt of Xiangjiang Metro Company is 2.84 billion Hong Kong dollars. Second, the Hong Kong Kowloon-Canton Railway Company was transferred to Jiuding Securities Company at a price of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total debt of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Company was 470 million Hong Kong dollars. Immediately afterwards, the representative of Jiuding Securities announced that the two subway companies would be integrated, and the new company will remain the Xiangjiang Metro Company. After the press conference, the entire upper level of HeungKong Capital shook. However, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. sold the company to Jiuding Industrial Group. On February 20, the Hong Kong government once again held a press conference with Cathay Pacific Group and Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. Announced that the Kai Tak International Airport owned by the Hong Kong Government will undergo a new phase of expansion. The contractor is Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. In addition, the Hong Kong government granted the Cathay Pacific Group an airport concession certificate and agreed to the Cathay Pacific Group¡¯s proposal to build an international airport to plan a piece of land in Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, the outlying islands and give it to the Cathay Pacific Group. After the news spread, the sky over Hong Kong Island was filled with a scent of citric acid. The big guys in Xiangjiang are called envious, jealous and hateful. The airport is different from the Xiangjiang Metro Company. The Xiangjiang Metro Company operates at a loss and has huge risks. Even if it is eaten by the Jiuding Consortium, the airport definitely makes a profit. This is all eaten by the Jiuding Consortium. But no matter how jealous they are, the current Hong Kong government is no longer the one in the MacLehose era. They have already seen clearly that the Governor Su Xingjian is wearing a pair of pants with the Jiuding Foundation. In desperation, they could only watch the Jiuding Consortium expand more and more. As it gradually enters the end of February. Not only in Canada, but also in many places around the world... ps: The second one is a bit late, please forgive me v3 Chapter 1299: Lowhill Latest website: Canada, in the outskirts of Toronto, a luxurious manor adjacent to the beautiful and tranquil Lake Siris. This manor belongs to the Rohill family. The current owner is Harris Rohill, a figure standing at the top of Canada and even North America. Harris Rohill not only represents the family to guard Canada, but also looks at the United States, so that his branch is the most powerful other than the British main line. Harris Rohill is extremely capable, has a very unique acting style, and is also extremely controllable and aggressive. But he still upholds the family motto that has been passed down for more than two hundred years: unity and coordination, ethics and balance, diligence and innovation. Furthermore, the times are different now, and the Rohill family is in a more difficult situation, so Harris Rohill also obeys the leadership of the Patriarch Jacob Rohill. Different from other branches, his autonomy and right to speak are also the greatest. On the evening of February 27, two black cars drove into the manor. "Mr. Harris, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." Martin Bryan, led by the waiter, came to the living room, saw Harris Rohill sitting on the sofa, and said apologetically. "Brian, you are not late, no need to apologize, please sit down." Harris Rohill smiled and said to him, and asked him to sit across from him. "Sir, what do you want?" "A cup of black coffee will do." "OK, just a second." The waiter asked softly, and after Martin Bryan had finished answering, he immediately turned to grind the coffee. Harris Lowhill talked directly about the business: "Brian, now the Progressive Conservative Party has been twisted into a rope, right?" Martin Bryan smiled and said with ease: "There are no other noises in the party at the moment, and they are basically united by my side. Everyone has high enthusiasm." "Everyone has realized that this election is an excellent opportunity to turn around. We must unite." Martin Bryan is only forty-five years old this year, but last year he was successfully elected as the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada with his extremely charisma, extensive network and background. Born in an Irish family in Quebec, Canada, he not only worked as a lawyer, but also served as the director and general manager of the Quebec North Coast and Labrador Railway Company, the director of the United Provincial Insurance Company, and worked at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and the Hanna Coal Company. Served in 12 companies including Standard Broadcasting Corporation. The biggest supporter behind him is the Harris Rohill in front of him. "That''s good." Upon hearing Martin Bryan''s answer, Harris smiled satisfied. "Mr. Harris, the latest poll shows that Pierre''s voter approval rating has fallen to 12%, which is a drop of 4% from the previous poll." "The support rate for the Canadian Liberal Party is 23%." "The approval rate for me is 33%, and the approval rate for the Progressive Conservative Party is 41%." "In both aspects, we are currently in an absolute lead." Martin Bryan took the initiative to share the good news with Harris Rosier. Harris Rohill was not surprised. He had known the news early through his own information channels. He smiled and said, "This is indeed extremely favorable news." "But you can''t relax your vigilance. It''s only in February, and the real general election will not come until next year. There is still more than a year left, and there is still uncertainty in it." "It can be seen from the poll support rate that more than half of the voters are temporarily on the sidelines." "With Pierre''s wisdom, he will definitely behave unexpectedly." The smile on Martin Bryan''s face narrowed and he nodded and said: "I have never despised him. His political wisdom has become elusive. After all, he has served as prime minister for four terms!" "It''s good that you can think so." Harris Rohill said with a smile. At this moment, the waiter brought up the brewed coffee, put them in front of the two respectively, bowed and left. "After talking for so long, have some coffee." "Ok." The two drank coffee comfortably. After relaxing for a while, Martin Bryan solemnly said to Harris Lowhill with a full face: "Mr. Harris, I intend to continue to expand my advantage. I need more support from your side." "No problem, you make a comprehensive plan for me." Harris Rohill did not refuse. He paused for a while and continued: "There is not much market for Pierre''s policies at present. According to the analysis of the think tank, the root is in him. It is extremely difficult to reverse the public perception. Therefore, it is possible for the Liberal Party to re-elect a new leader to run. ." "As for who it is, no one has emerged for the time being before Pierre said he would not participate in the election." "The longer the Liberal Party drags on, the more beneficial it will be for you. Your campaign slogan and ruling policy must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as soon as possible to squeeze the Liberal Party''s space for activities. "I see." Martin Bryan nodded his head solemnly. ... That night, Harris Roshir talked with Martin Bryan until more than ten o''clock, and Martin Blaine chose to leave until he saw Harris Roshir being sleepy. Harris Rohill and Martin Bryan¡¯s vision is good. But just when they were just getting ready to do it. What they didn''t want to see happened prematurely. Pierre is indeed a mature man, and he has enough overall view to fully realize the plight of the Canadian Liberal Party. So on the afternoon of February 29th. While walking in the snow on the south bank of the Ottawa River, Pierre suddenly announced to his accompanying subordinates that he planned to voluntarily resign from the post of Prime Minister and to resign as the leader of the Liberal Party. Prior to this, Pierre had never revealed anything about it. His sudden announcement caught all his subordinates by surprise. The news spread quickly within the Canadian Liberal Party, and all the members with political ambitions could not sit still This is a huge opportunity! That night, the news spread to the outside world, which shocked the entire Canadian political arena. Then it spread to the entire capital realm, and then spread abroad. Rockefeller and Morgan were equally surprised, but this did not affect their plans for Canadian capital and the Rohill family. A steady stream of funds began to gather, and the building of the investment department of the Bank of Illinois in Mainland China was lit up every night. The news was also learned by Xia Yu for the first time, but he had predicted that Pierre would have such a romantic drama, and he was not surprised. He has acted, and funds are slowly sneaking into Canada. But in the early morning of March 1, when he was eating breakfast and checking the news directly provided by Jiuding News Agency, a news from the United States attracted his attention. ps: There is one more at night, it may be late v3 Chapter 1300: Spin-off see spin-off Latest website: TWA has split up and spun off a subsidiary-TWA. TWA only inherits the aviation business of the group, while the hotel and catering businesses with higher profits will remain within the group. After the split, Global Airlines is still a listed company. This news is just a little bit of content. However, because TWA is one of the five largest airlines in the United States, it once entered the top three in the US aviation market for a long time. According to Xia Yu''s requirements for business news, when it comes to a company with a dominant market position, it needs to be collected and provided to him, so this news entered his line of sight. When he saw this news, Xia Yu had a name in his mind-Carl Serean Icahn. Later generations were known as the "wolves of Wall Street" and "radical investors", the top tycoons, with a net worth of as high as 20 billion US dollars. When Carl Serean Icahn was doing his best on Wall Street, there were many biographies about him, and his way to rise was also clear. TWA is an important stepping stone on his way to rise. In that hostile takeover, he made a profit of more than 150 million U.S. dollars, quickly accumulated capital, and thoroughly established his reputation, which was sought after by a large number of investors, so he rose rapidly. Carl Serean Icahn is just a financier. He only has money in his eyes. After his previous hostile takeover of Global Airlines in his previous life, he had no intention of operating and sold his assets as much as possible. Carl Serean Icahn is not interested in TWA, does not mean that Xia Yu is not interested. In other words, it is also one of the top five airlines in the United States. Although life may be difficult due to problems with the international situation and business strategy, he has a way. His aviation empire needs such a territory! What''s more, he has always had a strong desire to collect for the "Universal" series of companies. Act upon decision. After eating breakfast, Xia Yu immediately picked up the encrypted phone on the desk and called Peter Lynch in the United States, asking him to collect the situation of the United States Global Airlines Group''s separation and make a timely action plan. Two days later. The specific information was passed to Xia Yu via international fax. At the same time, Peter Lynch called Xia Yu and reported to him another work situation, which is also in the fax. After printing it all out, Xia Yu browsed in his office. The root cause of TWA''s spin-off is that the United States abolished the Air Traffic Control Act in 1979, relaxed aviation controls, and intensified market competition, which had a greater impact on TWA. Of course, the decline in revenue from the aviation business of the Global Airlines Group also has its own operating problems. TWA obtained permission from the US authorities in 1969 to enter the trans-Pacific shipping market for the first time, but later TWA sold the rights to Asian routes to American Airlines and ignored the trans-Pacific cargo service market. The contempt for the Asian market and the constant erosion of the original European market have worsened the financial situation of Global Aviation Group. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, because international crude oil prices have been at a high level for a long time, making aviation fuel expensive, causing Global Aviation Group to fall into a loss. It is precisely because of so many reasons that the share price of Global Aviation Group is depressed, and the risk of being acquired has increased sharply. The executives of the Global Airlines Group judged that the group¡¯s stock price actually did not match the group¡¯s true market value, but was dragged down by the airline business. The hotel and catering business, which still has high internal profits, is still the group¡¯s gold business. These two businesses are likely to be watched by the outside world to initiate acquisitions and split assets. Therefore, the Global Airlines Group internally discussed and decided to split the group, increase its shareholding in the more profitable hotel and catering business, and avoid being acquired. The poorly-operated aviation business is relatively safe. This kind of judgment has caused TWA Group to concentrate its assets on the hotel and catering business, and its shareholding ratio for TWA is only 1.1%! Seeing this shareholding ratio, Xia Yu was shocked. He wanted to pry open the brains of the executives of the Global Airlines Group to see what kind of biological dung was in their minds. What kind of self-confidence is it that they dare to transfer their assets so hard that they retain 1.1% of the shares in the Global Aviation Group. If this is not acquired, Xia Yu feels that he will be struck by lightning. After all, it is a subsidiary of Global Aviation Group. Although it is a listed company, it is of a different nature. You do not need to buy 66.7% of the equity at all. You only need to get 51% to obtain control and hold the executives of Global Aviation Group on the ground. friction. No, you must buy it quickly! The price is not expensive anyway! It doesn''t matter if the Pacific route is not available, it just happens that his Cathay Pacific Group can make up. The two companies are completely complementary, as long as they are integrated together, the financial situation can be turned around immediately. After making the decision, Xia Yu threw this piece of information aside and picked up another piece of information. Compared with TWA, whose market value is sluggish, the company in this information is a Big Mac. The overlord of the US telecommunications market-AT&T! It is now the fifth largest company in the United States with a market value of US$18.68 billion. It''s just that AT&T is already weak at this time. In 1982, it followed ibm closely, and its market value was as high as 53 billion U.S. dollars, more than twice that of Exxon Petroleum, which ranked third! The reason for the downfall to where it is now is that AT&T was caught in the third antitrust lawsuit in history. And it was in 1982 that AT&T''s antitrust case had a clear turning point. AT&T is willing to accept the request of the US government to separate from its 24 local subsidiaries and West Electric. Therefore, since 1982, AT&T¡¯s market value has plummeted, and the market has looked down upon its prospects after it was dismembered. But anyway, AT&T has always been a giant, and every piece of its fortune is a tempting cake. Before, I wanted to eat and couldn''t eat and I didn''t have such a good mouth. But this time it was divided into many small cakes and it was easy to enjoy. So Peter Lynch is leading Polaris Capital to grab food in this dismemberment feast. Now that the dismemberment plan is about to come out, AT&T and its 24 local subsidiaries that operate local fixed-line telephones and Western Electric will be split into a new AT&T company (specializing in long-distance telephone services) and seven Local telephone company. The seven local telephone companies are Bell West, Bell Southwest, Bell West, Bell Pacific, Bell South, Asia Medco and New New Zealand. Peter Lynch asked Xia Yu for instructions. At present, the various consortia are eyeing each other. With the strength of Polaris Capital, they can only win one of the subsidiaries at most, and it is still relatively unsettled, so he asked Xia Yu which company he would like to do! ps: The Bell Seven Brothers, which one is most suitable for the protagonist? If you have any ideas, please comment on the potential of the company and the suitability of the protagonist. Thank you! v3 Chapter 1301: Invitation to Mellon Latest website: After reading the information, Xia Yu fell into deep thought, and the trend of the US communications market emerged in his mind. After the split of AT&T, its parent company, as well as Western Electric Company, are definitely the most core assets, but it is impossible for him to want to eat. It is considered very good to be able to acquire part of the equity from the stock market. Peter Lynch is also very pragmatic, so he didn''t mention it, but directly asked which one of the Bell''s seven brothers was competing for. According to the historical trajectory, among the seven Bell Brothers, the most promising one is Southwest Bell. In 1996, the United States promulgated the new "Telecom Act", and after releasing restrictions on the telecommunications industry, it first acquired Pacific Bell, and then merged with it. The company then swallowed the original parent company, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and finally annexed Bell Southern Company, and became the largest telecommunications company in the later generations. However, when Southwest Bell was first decomposed, there were only five Southwestern state businesses. The bottom of the ranking, but it can swallow three of the Bell¡¯s seven brothers and the original parent company, which is not awesome. The Atlantic Bell Company and New York Telephone Company, which inherited a strong family background, merged in 1997 and eventually evolved into Verizon Telecom, the second largest telecommunications company in the United States. The last of the Bell¡¯s seven brothers merged with broadband company Quest Telecom in 2000. On the surface, Atlantic Bell currently inherits the most assets, followed by New York Telephone Company, followed by Asiamedic, Pacific Bell, Southern Bell, Southwest Bell, and Western Bell. Atlantic Bell is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Needless to say, New York Telephone Company. Amedac''s headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. Pacific Bell is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Bell South is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Southwest Bell is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The headquarters of the last Western Bell Company is in Denver, Colorado. On the surface, these seven companies are arranged according to their assets, but from Xia Yu''s perspective, naturally, he will not be limited to the superficial things. He can still see the future. Take Southwest Bell, for example, the second-to-last assets inherited, but Texas can''t bear it, and the surrounding states are not bad. Another example is Pacific Bell, which owns the local call business in California. The future potential of these two states is huge. What''s more, the splitting and zoning of the territory this time is just a new starting point. Is there a rule not to go to other states while consolidating its territory? Xia Yu is very clear that this time the US government dismembered AT&T will give countless people hope. At least thousands of telecommunications companies will emerge to compete for the market in the next period of time. In the previous life, Southwest Bell, which was backed by the Texas consortium, broke out of the siege. In this life, it might not have been his company that came out. The key is to look at how to operate, how to survive and grow in the cruel market competition. After thinking about it, Xia Yu still discovered that in fact, the most suitable company was Pacific Bell, which he liked. Pacific Bell¡¯s local dialing sites include California, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington, as well as two more tasteless states, Alaska and Hawaii. With the current population and economic volume of Alaska and Hawaii, they add up to less than a Utah state. So although it seems to have inherited the business of six states, it can actually be regarded as five states. Fortunately, California is still supported, so the assets can be ranked in the middle reaches of the Bell Seven Brothers, which is much better than Southwest Bell, which has a Texas site. However, with the territory of California and the territory of Washington State, Pacific Bell is attractive enough for him. Moreover, the headquarters of Pacific Bell is still in San Francisco where Polaris Capital is located, not in Los Angeles where the California consortium is based. After making a decision, Xia Yu found a suitable time to call Peter Lynch. This phone call lasted more than forty minutes. In addition to instructing him to initiate an acquisition of Global Airlines as soon as possible to compete for Pacific Bell, he also instructed him about the Canadian and Chicago consortium. After that, Xia Yu made another call to Jiuding Securities in New York, and asked Toby Morton, the president of the branch, to write an invitation letter on his behalf, and the target was the current owner of the Mellon family¡ªRichard. De King Mellon. On the afternoon of March 3, this invitation letter was delivered to Richard King Mellon. The Mellon family is based in Pennsylvania, where their family has risen. After receiving Xia Yu¡¯s invitation, Richard King Mellon was very surprised. He never thought that he was just the magical Oriental kid who met at the celebration banquet of President Reagan¡¯s inauguration and contacted him for the second time. , Will invite him directly to Xiangjiang! This behavior is very abrupt, but the content makes him eager to move. Not only that, but the content of the invitation letter is also very sincere. According to the president of New York Jiuding Securities, who personally sent the invitation letter, the content of the invitation letter was Xia Yu''s original words, and he was just acting as a writing machine. However, he still has to think about it carefully. After all, his health is already relatively poor. The doctor has repeatedly advised him to travel as little as possible for long distances so as not to increase the burden on his body. That night, after having dinner with his family, he stopped the three children who wanted to leave. The third son Leonard, the fourth son Woodlow and the youngest daughter Sandy. As for his eldest son Skef and second son Timothy are not at home, these two sons who are not interested in family business, Richard King Mellon has no energy to train them. As far as the family is concerned, these two titles have already been practiced and abandoned, and the focus is on the third and fourth sons. "Father, do you have any plans to teach us?" Leonard, who won the favor of Richard King Mellon, took the initiative to ask after sitting down. "Today, I received an invitation letter that was completely unexpected to me. You all have a look." Richard King Mellon finished speaking and handed the invitation letter to Leonard. When Leonard finished reading , his brows were frowned and not loosened, he handed the invitation letter to his brother Woodlow, and finally reached Sandy''s hands. When she saw the name of the person who signed, Sandy was stunned, blinked and found that she had not made a mistake. She looked at the content of the invitation letter curiously. "Dear Mr. Mellon, hello, I am sorry that I did not visit you in person. I can only send you an invitation in this way. I sincerely invite you to my hometown of Xiangjiang. The East contains great wealth and opportunities. Of course , I most want to discuss some topics with you, such as the capital structure of the United States, and Canada...Xia Yu." After reading this puzzling vague content, Sandi raised a small question mark on her head. But she didn''t have time to think about it. After seeing the three children finished reading, Richard King Mellon sounded kindly: "Children, what do you think after reading this invitation letter?" ps: Sorry, it¡¯s just a change today. I¡¯m working overtime late, and then I have to expand the design plot. The plot of the network structure is shaped with the plot of the linear structure. The difficulty is really big, and the writing is painful. v3 Chapter 1302: Mysterious Xia Yu The latest website: "Father, I don''t recommend that you be invited. If he wants to talk, he can come to the United States. Even if he doesn''t come to Philadelphia, he can still be in New York or other cities." "Why does he have to invite you to Xiangjiang?" Woodlow frowned and raised the question first. Richard King Mellon still smiled and looked at his third son Leonard. Leonard is five years older, and his thinking is relatively more mature and stable. He thought about it and said, "Father, I have a doubt. Since Xia Yu dares to invite you, it is in his judgment that you are likely to accept it. Invited." "Why does he have this confidence?" "He has the strength and qualifications? Or is there any deep meaning behind the US capital structure and Canada mentioned in his invitation letter?" Woodlow looked a little sad when he heard this, he did not consider this. The admiration in Richard King Mellon''s eyes flashed away. He still did not answer. Instead, he looked at his daughter Sandy and said with a smile: "Sandy, you have been in contact with Xia Yu for a while. Tell your two brothers about his situation." Sandy smiled and nodded slightly: "Okay." Then, she pressed her lips slightly, remembering. The father and son waited quietly. After a long time, Sandy recovered, looking at the two serious-faced brothers with bright eyes, a soft and sweet voice sounded: "I have been in contact with Xia Yu for a while, and he impressed me very deeply. I don¡¯t know how many secrets he hides. Although I don¡¯t have the deepest understanding of him, I know his strength is very strong." "For example, his hometown of Xiangjiang, as if he can feel the existence of his business empire at any time, as if that is his city." "His career is not limited to Hong Kong. He has a strong influence in the UK, in the United States, in the island countries, and on the mainland." "Although he didn''t tell me what kind of strength he has, I deeply remember that when we were chatting, we talked about the world class problem. He told us about the structure of the world consortium. After that time, I have a different understanding of the world, and this understanding has a lot to do with what I learned from my family since I was young, but the knowledge I arrived at since I was a little bit scattered." "And through his narration, I feel that in his mind, there is a clear map of the world." "I still remember that when he mentioned the Rohill family, the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, and we have other families, his tone was so calm and calm." Speaking of this, that scene came to Sandy''s mind again. Xia Yu and their five girls were on the observation deck of the Peninsula Hotel. Xia Yu told them about the world in a relaxed and indifferent tone. At that time, Xia Yu smiled so calmly and his eyes were as deep as a starry sky. It seems to be shrouded in a mysterious temperament. At that time, she was stunned. The scene of that night was deeply imprinted in her heart, and her thoughts were as clear as yesterday. Both Leonard and Woodlow couldn''t help frowning because of the sister''s narration. And Richard King Mellon''s expression became a lot more serious. He said to his daughter Sandy: "Sandy, you didn''t say this to Dad." Sandy blinked, and asked in a crisp response: "Dad, you didn''t ask me, and with the family''s intelligence gathering ability, I thought you knew it." Richard King Mellon was taken aback, smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly and sighed. That''s right, after seeing Xia Yu at the cocktail party for the first time, he told his children about Xia Yu''s details. No wonder his daughter thought so. Only now after listening to his daughter''s description, Richard King Mellon realized that his understanding of Xia Yu''s power was not thorough enough. Xia Yu was able to rise to the extent he knew in just a few years. He was definitely an elite with a lot of wisdom and means. With his energy, he could also know the terrifying power of the major consortia. He never doubted that Xia Yu would be ignorant and self-conscious. Big. If this is the case, then Xia Yu can still treat these top consortiums with an equal attitude, then he must have enough confidence. With this judgment, Richard Kimmelon thought of other information, and made a secret decision in his heart. "Sandy, Dad shouldn''t blame you, I apologize to you." Richard King Mellon said kindly. Sandy smiled and shook her head and said, "Dad, I didn''t tell you in time." "I have decided, accept his invitation and go to Xiangjiang." As soon as Richard King Mellon said these words, the expressions of all three children changed. Leonard said worriedly: "Father, is this a bit risky?" "Yes, father, after all, there is a place where the family power is weak, and I heard that the eastern country is very dangerous." Woodlow also followed to persuade. Richard King Mellon smiled indifferently, and said nonchalantly: "Don''t worry, the family has enough security forces, and he has no reason to endanger me, he will only do his best to protect my safety." Hearing what his father said, Leonard and Woodlow nodded helplessly. "Dad, I want to go with you. I have a good relationship with Xia Yu. Maybe I can help." Sandy took the initiative to hold his father''s hand at this time, looked at his father expectantly with big eyes, and pleaded. Richard King Mellon looked at his daughter kindly, stroked her blond hair, and laughed: "Okay, you go with me." "And Leonard, Woodlow, you also go with me, meet the world, last time you just met Xia Yu, this time you may have a different understanding." After speaking, a light flashed in Richard King Mellon''s eyes. The Mellon consortium is the top five consortium in the United States at any rate, and like Rockefeller and Morgan, the family is a consortium, and the energy is naturally beyond doubt. He has noticed the gradually different situation in Canada, the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium have taken action again, and the United States has followed suit. Since Xia Yu mentioned two key points in the invitation letter, he was also curious as to what Xia Yu''s scheme was. Taking this opportunity, let his two sons have a good understanding of Xia Yu''s pattern in order to accelerate their growth. After all... he didn''t know how many years he could last... Thinking of this, Richard King Mellon was full of anxiety. "Father, we won''t let you down." "Dad, do I need to contact Xia Yu? I have his private phone number." Sandy said actively. Richard King Mellon said cheerfully: "Then you can make a call first, and then I will talk to him for a while." "Okay, I''ll call him now." With that, Sandy got up and walked to the phone by the closet. ... PS: There will be a change at around one point, let''s see tomorrow, take a break early v3 Chapter 1303: Campaign team Latest website: In the office of the current Canadian Prime Minister Pierre. Pierre stopped writing and asked Secretary Colin Robinson: "Colin, what is going on in the party now?" Colin Robinson replied respectfully: "Leader, after the news of your announcement that you will resign early, many people in the party are ready to move. Many people are already active and are ready to run for party leader after you resign." Pierre was not surprised, he knew this was a matter of common sense. In fact, he also encourages intra-party competition to see if good people can be elected. He can decide who to support. After all, he is the leader of the Liberal Party, and he must take his responsibility and choose good heirs. However, because of the busy government affairs, he was unable to concentrate on party affairs, so he asked Colin Robinson, the secretary of the Liberal Party, to help him keep an eye on the situation in the party. "Which ones stand out now?" Pierre asked with interest. It has only been six days since he announced the news abruptly, and the time is extremely short. Those who can make a head start in such a short period of time will not have bad abilities and connections. Colin Robinson thought for a while and answered truthfully: "Leaders, there are currently two prominent high-level executives, namely John Pinel Turner and Iona Campanuro, vice-chairman." "Oh?" "It turned out to be the two of them." Pierre was a little surprised. The appearance of the first person surprised him. John Pinell Turner is a veteran and a veteran politician. He was a lawyer and served as the attorney general of Leicester Pearson and his finance minister. However, in September 1975, he decided to implement wage and price controls. There were differences in political views between the two, and John Pinell Turner consciously couldn''t replace him as the leader of the Liberal Party in a short period of time, so the latter Resigned from the post of Minister of Finance. And it seemed that his confidence was undermined. After John Pinell Turner resigned as Minister of Finance, he resigned as a member of Congress in February 1976 and publicly announced his withdrawal from politics, joining a law firm as a corporate lawyer. After the defeat of the Liberal Party in the 1979 federal election, Pierre resigned as party leader, and John Pinell Turner also publicly stated that he had no intention of competing for the position of party leader. Fortunately, the minority government of the Progressive Conservative Party fell in less than a year, and Pierre once again raised the flag as the leader of the Liberal Party, regaining power. Pierre did not expect that when he had to ignore John Pinell Turner after eight years, the latter would come out again and react so quickly. It seems that although John Pinell Turner has retired from politics, he has never given up his mind. If it had been before, Pierre would have watched John Pinel Turner, but now he knows that his path has come to an end, and he really wants to retreat, so John Pierce The appearance of Neil Turner made him look forward to it. John Pinell Turner is fifty-five years old this year, ten years younger than him, and he has enough energy. And the other Iona Campanuro is not simple, she is currently the vice chairman of the Liberal Party and the highest-ranking woman in the party. In addition, Iona Campanula also partnered with him before, and was his last Minister of Labor. "Both of them are paying attention, but don''t ignore the others. If there is a head start, tell me at the first time that it has only been six days, and as time goes by, there must be rising stars." Pierre smiled and ordered Colin Robinson. "Yes!" Colin Robinson responded respectfully. ... Joseph Jacques Jean Chretien was born in a family of paper technicians in Scheveningen, Quebec. His parents gave birth to 19 children in total. He ranked 18th, but their 19 siblings only Nine survived. He suffered from Bell''s paralysis when he was young, which left his left cheek paralyzed for a long time. But he has perseverance and fighting spirit, determined to become an excellent politician. In 1963, as the only English-speaking Liberal Party candidate for St. Maurice, he won the election of a member of the Federal Parliament and was successfully elected as a member of the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament. That year, he was only 29 years old. Then in 1965, he was elected as the first secretary of parliament to serve Prime Minister Lester Pearson and Minister of Finance Mitchell Sharp. After that, he was recognized by Pearson and was soon nominated as Minister of Finance to succeed him. Mitchell Sharp became the youngest Minister of Finance in Canada''s history and the first French-speaking Minister of Finance from Quebec. In 1968, he served as the Commissioner of National Taxation. In June of that year, he joined the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, became Minister of Foreign Trade in 1974, entered the Ministry of Industry and Trade in 1976, and became Minister of Finance again in 1977. In 1980, he served as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and concurrently held the post of the Ministry of National Social Development. In 1982, he became Minister of Energy. Canadian Liberal Party, the current Minister of Energy. After seventeen years of work, he has an almost perfect resume and has worked in almost all important departments in different cabinets. If there is the only regret, it is that he has not been the prime minister of Canada. But this time, he saw an opportunity! It''s just that Prime Minister Pierre was too hidden before, leaving him unprepared, so he was caught off guard after he suddenly announced that he would step down in advance. Seeing that two people in the party have emerged, but he has not even worked out a complete campaign plan, the gap is gradually widening, and his heart becomes more anxious. But that night, he was uncharacteristically, not writing a plan, but let the children go upstairs after dinner, and he was waiting for someone in the living room alone. At about 8 o''clock in the evening, he heard the sound of car engines coming from far and near outside the house. There are at least two cars to hear the sound. Suddenly he got up, tidied his clothes, and strode out the door. Not long after he opened the door, he saw five people coming down from two cars not far away. When the five people came over, under the light, he finally saw the appearance of the five people. They were all male middle-aged. One of them was very familiar to him, and two of the other four were familiar, but he couldn''t remember exactly. first name. "Barlow, and gentlemen, welcome you, please come in." After Joseph Chretien shook hands with everyone, he smiled and invited everyone in. After everyone took their seats, Joseph Chretien introduced his wife to everyone: "Let me introduce to everyone, this is my wife Irene Charney." "You can call me Irene and welcome your visit." Irene Charney said very enthusiastically. "Hello, Irene!" "..." "Joseph, we are old friends, let me introduce my companion to you." As Barlow Pierce said, he introduced his companions one by one. "This is Giles Victor, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Toronto, Canada." "Nice to meet you, Professor Victor." "Hello, Mr. Chretien." After Gals Victor, the oldest of the five, exchanged handshake with Joseph Chretien again. Barlow Pierce continued the introduction. "This is Weber Bacchus, an outstanding financial elite who has worked in banks, securities, funds and insurance companies." ... "This is Ron Robert, the former head of the Research Department of the Canadian Studies Society." ... "This is Marvin Zakley, former CBC News Manager." ... After shaking hands with the four, the smile on Joseph Chretien''s face became brighter, but his heart was very solemn. He didn''t expect that the four people brought by Barlow Pierce would have such identities. Barlow Pierce is the senior vice president of Korn Ferry International, Canada. He has strong communication and comprehensive business skills. Giles Victor is a professor at the School of Media. UU Reading Weber Bacchus is a financial elite. Ron Robert specializes in statistics and research. Marvin Zakley is in the news. Good guy, the identities and functions of the five people are all different. The average person can''t see anything, but after listening to everyone''s introduction, he instantly understood. This is the backbone of a campaign team. General manager, press spokesperson, financial consultant, opinion survey expert, media consultant. This preparation is too full, it seems that tonight, he will face a choice. I just don¡¯t know how much bargaining chip the forces behind the five will throw, what kind of strength they have... PS: I got a little more, ask for a recommended monthly pass! v3 Chapter 1304: Xia Yu Luoqi Latest website: Everyone is smart, so Barlow Pierce didn''t plan to waste time around the corners. After getting to know each other, he went straight to the subject: "Chretien, you know what we are here, so let''s start now." "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Liberal Party, otherwise Prime Minister Pierre will not be one year away from the change of term, and he will resolutely announce his resignation. "The high unemployment rate, the highest among all developed countries, the high fiscal deficit and national debt, and the ethnic contradictions in Quebec. The power of any of these is amazing, but now all of them have appeared." "Canada now is like a volcano about to erupt. Pierre can''t hold it down. The consequence of his strong confrontation is that the people will become more disgusted and disgusted with the Liberal Party, and what will destroy the Liberal Party''s future will be." "So he chose to take the responsibility and take the responsibility on himself, leaving more opportunities for the Liberal Party." Joseph Chretien nodded appreciatively. As a member of Pierre''s cabinet and minister of energy, he is very clear that what Barlow Pierce said is the truth, so he maintains sufficient respect for Pierre. No matter how the outside world evaluates Pierre, as the leader of the Liberal Party, Pierre is very good and competent. Not everyone has the determination and mind of Pierre. After all, according to normal procedures, the general election will not be officially changed until next year. The position of Prime Minister of the Canadian Cabinet is held by the leader of the majority party in Congress. Pierre resigned as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and he would naturally resign as prime minister. So this time, whoever can become the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada will be able to take over Pierre and become Prime Minister of the Cabinet until the next election. Although the time is shorter than the normal term, he is also prime minister anyway, isn''t it? "Barlow, Prime Minister Pierre is a charismatic leader. I have always regarded him as the object of my political life." Joseph Chretien commented so. "Yes it is." Barlow Pierce smiled, and then continued: "But Chretien, if you want to become Prime Minister, you are not strong enough." "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Liberal Party. Before the rumors are reversed, the Progressive Conservative Party is more likely to win the next general election." "But at this time, we will postpone the matter for the next step." "The most important thing at the moment is that if you succeed in being the leader of the Liberal Party, then you can directly become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, occupying a certain amount of initiative, and you can bring back the tilted balance. "The situation in the Liberal Party is still chaotic. Twelve people have expressed their ideas on the bright side, and there will be more to come. John Napier Turner and Ms. Iona Campanuro have already taken the lead. , More than ten years of political career has accumulated a certain amount of contacts for you, but it is a bit worse than John Napier Turner. You also have shortcomings in resources, so you need enough helpers and resources." Joseph Chretien did not deny, but admitted frankly: "Barlow, you are right, I don''t have the advantage now." "Then why did you choose to work with me?" Barlow Pierce said with a smile: "Chretien, don''t mind, you are actually only one of the objects of our cooperative investigation." "John Pinell Turner and Iona Campanuro have sufficient advantages, but they do not need our help urgently." "And our preparations are very adequate. We already have the framework of the campaign team and have made a rigorous campaign plan. The most important thing is that we have the confidence to compete with any party in terms of resources, including the consortium behind Mulroney. ." Joseph Chretien''s pupils shrank, and he stared at Barlow Pierce for a long time, and solemnly reminded: "Barlow, behind Mulroney, are the Rohill family and other banking consortia." "Of course I know!" Barlow Pierstein smiled graciously. Joseph Chretien''s thoughts were confused, and his attention to Barlow Pierce and others was raised to the highest level. He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and tentatively asked: "I was suddenly curious about what kind of monsters I am working with. As far as I know, the consortium that can wrestle hands with the Rohill family not much." "Rockefeller? Morgan?" Barlow Pierce smiled and shook his head and said: "In this world, Rockefeller and Morgan are not the only ones who can clean up the Rohill family. You have to know, more than a year ago, the Rohill family had already lost once in old Europe. Still licking the wound now." "Although the Lowhill family is a dominant presence in Canada, Canada belongs to the Commonwealth. In the Commonwealth, they cannot do whatever they want." "Just like Canada now, the media power controlled by the Rohill family is not ranked first." Joseph Chretien''s heart was shaken, and the smile on his face became bright: "Yes." Barlow Pierce¡¯s last sentence actually revealed the existence of the forces behind it. As far as he knows, Canada occupies the largest paper media market is the Mirror Group. The Mirror Group is a subsidiary of the British Mirror Group. The parent company of the British Mirror Group is the prestigious Bright Fund. This is a newly emerging consortium with top-notch strength. He doesn''t know whether the Bright Fund has the ability to confront the Rothschild, Morgan and Rockefeller families, but this is definitely the strongest consortium that he has been in politics for so many years and is willing to support him. At the very least, in this election, he turned to the Bright Fund. He will have no shortcomings in the media and funds. He is stronger than John Napier Turner and Iona Campanillo, and even has Gen Mulroney''s confidence. Moreover, he also thought of a very crucial point. Barlow Pierce only told him implicitly that the Bright Fund exists, but he didn''t say whether it was the only supporter, if it was... Thinking of this, Joseph Chretien''s heart jumped, and he even vaguely felt that his paralyzed left cheek twitched a few times. But soon he calmed down, and his brain ran wildly. Barlow Pierce just said that he was only considering one of the candidates for cooperation. He was not sure if the other party was lying to him, but he would rather believe it was not. After all, he does not currently have the advantage. With the power behind Barlow Pierce and others, he can choose a candidate who is the same as him or even better than him. Barlow Pierce and others have a choice, but currently he has no choice. This is the best opportunity. At this moment, Joseph Chretien felt his hand being held. He turned his head to see that his wife was looking at him with encouragement and trust. Joseph Cretti was assured, caressed his wife''s hand, and then solemnly looked at Barlow Pierce, and said: "Barlow, thank you for choosing me. I believe we can cooperate happily in the future." Barlow Pierce laughed: "Of course, this is necessary." Then the two got up and held their hands together. "Papa......" Gals Victor, who has always been a transparent person, applauded. UU reading www.uukanshu. com "I think I need some champagne now." Irene Charney, Joseph Chretien''s wife, stood up and said. "Yes, my dear, can I trouble you to get it." Joseph Chretien said softly to his wife. ... After a brief celebration, Irene Charney cleaned up the table, then gave the space to her husband and partners, and she went upstairs. "Let''s take a good look at how to make you successfully elected as the party leader. This is our preliminary plan. You can take a look first..." PS: It will be updated tonight. I will sort out important cooperation trends. I need to check a lot of information. v3 Chapter 1305: Old Mellon arrives in Hong Kong Latest website: March 9th, a clear sky. At about eleven o''clock in the morning, outside the Kai Tak Airport, a row of luxury Rolls-Royce motorcades with explosion-proof modification stopped quietly in an area. In the vicinity of the convoy, a large number of Aegis security bodyguards dressed in capable training suits were scattered on guard. Such a big battle is undoubtedly extremely eye-catching. However, passengers entering and leaving the airport only dared to watch and discuss from a distance, and did not dare to approach. Only the Hong Kong government and Xia Yu can make such a big battle in Hong Kong. At this moment, the back door of the middle car opened, and Xia Yu and Li Qian came down one by one. "A Yu, is that the plane?" Li Qian held Xia Yu''s hand, pointed to the plane that was descending rapidly in the air in the distance, and asked softly. "It''s this one. Look at the painting and huge signs on the outside. This is the private jet of the Mellon family." Xia Yu replied with a sharp eye, seeing the characteristics of the plane, smiling. Waited for a while. In the VIP aisle at the airport, a group of people walked out of the airport, all with bodyguards in suits and leather shoes. "coming." "Cici, let''s go over." Xia Yu finished speaking softly, and was held by Li Qian, walking along the path formed by the bodyguard standing guard all the way. When Xia Yu and Li Qian walked halfway, he also saw the guests he had invited. I saw Sandy in a long dress supporting the old Richard King Mellon, while Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon, who had been seen once, were on the other side, following along with every step. "Mr. Richard, welcome to Xiangjiang!" "Mr. Xia, thank you for coming to the airport to take this opportunity for me. I am deeply honored!" Although it was only the second time they met, the two of them shook hands and greeted them like friends for many years. "Sandy, Mr. Leonard, Mr. Woodlow, welcome to Xiangjiang!" Xia Yu looked at the three again and said with a smile. "Xia Yu, and Li Qian, long time no see!" Sandy responded with a sweet smile, and at the same time greeted Li Qian on her own initiative. "Mr. Xia, just call me Leonard." "Mr. Xia, you can call me Woodlow." Perhaps it was Richard King Mellon who taught the two sons before he came. Although they still maintained the temperament of a large family member, they took the initiative to lower their attitude a little to show respect for Xia Yu. "Ok." Xia Yu responded with a smile. Then he pointed to the dignified and generous Li Qian beside him and introduced to everyone: "Let me introduce to everyone, this is my lover Li Qian." ... After another round of greetings, Xia Yu invited everyone to get on the bus. The number of the team arranged was huge enough to accommodate the bodyguards brought by Richard King Mellon. Xia Yu arranged it at the Peninsula Hotel to pick up the dust. Just when Xia Yu, Richard King Mellon and others had lunch. In a secluded villa on Hong Kong Island, Charles Lowhill sat on the sofa in the living room, frowning. "Old Mellon came to Xiangjiang, really hell, this is his first time here." Charles Rohill murmured, his vigilance was raised to the highest level. In the past few years, the family has increased the monitoring of Xia Yu, and for this reason, he has specially deployed a team for him. This is a standard treatment that only the Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont families have, and it can be seen from the Rohill family. Pay attention to Xia Yu. This team is controlled by Charles Rohill, the leader of the Xiangjiang branch. Although Xia Yu could not be monitored closely due to the actual situation, this time Xia Yu was picked up at the airport, and it was difficult for him to know whether he wanted to know or not. As for why he knew it was the Mellon family, according to the plane and the portrait, Recognizable. "Father, they are definitely not simply cooperating, otherwise it would be impossible for Old Mellon to come in person." "Unfortunately, our intelligence force is still too weak." His son Sean Rohill has the same solemn face, and his tone of voice is full of regret and helplessness. "We have limited knowledge. This matter can only be reported to the family and the family will analyze it." "What we can do is to do our best to monitor." "This thing is too abnormal..." When Charles Rohill said this, he didn''t know why, and a wave of anxiety rose in his heart, inexplicably restless. After all, as far as he knew, Xia Yu did not have a deep connection with the Mellon family, but this time, the old Mellon, who was in poor health, put down his figure and took the initiative to come to Xiangjiang to meet Xia Yu. There must be some secret in this. The family has never mastered it. Moreover, whether it is Xia Yu or the Mellon family, they are all forces that the Roshir family needs to treat with caution. If the two families come together, it will definitely have an impact on the structure of the world. Judging from the current situation, if Xia Yu had in-depth cooperation with the Mellon family, it would definitely do more harm than good to the Rothschild family. Thinking of this, he couldn''t sit still, and immediately picked up the secret phone, ready to report the news to the family. ... Xia Yu certainly didn''t know how Charles Rohill responded. After all, the power of the net did not successfully penetrate into the Rohill family. He had successfully put down the monitor before, but was found out and removed. But it didn''t matter, Xia Yu was already prepared to be known by the Roshir family, and he also had a countermeasure. After lunch, after Xia Yu asked Old Mellon''s opinion, he led them to a villa near his home. As the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong, he has a lot of things like villas, and he is always ready to arrange for friends to move in. Because he took a long-distance flight and needed jet lag, Xia Yu didn''t talk to Old Mellon on the same day, and let them rest for a day. In a blink of an eye it was the next morning. In the magnificent living room, Xia Yu and Old Mellon sat face to face. Li Qian and Sandy sat on the row of sofas to Xia Yu''s left like good sisters, while Xia Yu sat Leonard and Woodlow on his right Two brothers. At this time, the door was closed, the bodyguards were all guarding the outside, and the inside of the house was fully inspected, and there was no risk of eavesdropping. "Mr. Richard, first of all thank you for your trust in me. Only when you can come to Xiangjiang in person, we can have our meeting now." Xia Yu sincerely thanked him. Richard King Mellon laughed and responded humorously to Xia Yu: "I am bored at home anyway. I can receive your invitationHow can I miss it?" "Haha..." Xia Yu laughed happily. After smiling, he narrowed his smile and said softly: "Then I''m going to talk about business." "Mr. Richard, the Rockefeller, Morgan and Chicago consortium are preparing to join forces against Canada. Do you know that?" Richard King Mellon''s expression became serious, and he nodded slightly: "I have to thank you for your reminder. I asked someone to follow the clues to check and find out some things." "Mr. Xia, I am very surprised by your strength." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said modestly: "I was just lucky and just got the clues, and then followed the vine and learned a lot of news." "Mr. Richard, I invite you this time mainly because I want to have in-depth cooperation with you. After all, Canada is the seventh economy in the world. Such a big piece of cake is too tempting." v3 Chapter 1306: Rameron goes to Pengcheng You can search for "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Heng Jiutao Novel ( in Baidu to find the latest chapter! Richard King Mellon narrowed his eyes and agreed with Xia Yu''s opinion: "Yes, this piece of cake is indeed very attractive." "But neither I nor the Mellon family have eaten much, have they?" Just after Richard King Mellon finished speaking, Xia Yu immediately asked with a smile. Richard King Mellon nodded slightly: "Then Mr. Xia, tell me about your plan." Xia Yu drank a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Let me talk about what I know first." "At present, the Canadian forces are mixed and divided into four camps on a large scale, namely the European faction, the American faction, the local faction and other factions." "The other factions are not to be feared, and their strength is also the weakest. They cannot affect the overall situation." "European faction, American faction and local faction have different internal positions." "I won''t say much about the local faction. They are the weakest and can only be prey." "The European faction, the family consortiums of Britain, France, Germany and other countries have taken root in Canada, but the strongest is the Rohill family." "The American faction includes all major American families and consortia. I will not give specific examples. Mr. Richard, you should know better than me. The strongest ones are Rockefeller and Morgan. The two big families regard Canada as suppressing. The first line of the Rohill family..." What Xia Yu is telling is not clear to Leonard, Woodlow, Sandy, and Li Qian, and all four of them listened with gusto. Richard King Mellon nodded from time to time, because what Xia Yu said was consistent with what he knew. The Mellon consortium has of course also penetrated into Canada. For example, Mellon National Bank has a branch in Canada, Alcoa has mines and companies in Canada, and Gulf Oil has refineries and oil fields in Canada. It¡¯s just that there is a return. In terms of strength and influence, it is far inferior to the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium. After all, the Mellon Consortium has a different position from the two giants. The two giants are bent on suppressing the Rohill family, so their resources are tilted towards Canada. The focus of the Mellon Consortium has always been in the United States. The United States¡¯ economy is ten times that of Canada, and the cake is huge. Having not found a suitable opportunity to enter Canada, the old Mellon certainly would not choose to enter Canada with half the effort, but to dig deeper into the United States. Of course, this does not mean that he gave up on the Canadian cake. No, this time he realized that there is a good opportunity. He is still willing to come to Xiangjiang to try his luck. "This time, there are many internal crises in Canada, and there are turbulent waves under the prosperity. The strength of the Rohill family in Canada has reached a new height after the war, and the wool of the local sheep has also grown." "As far as I know, Rockefeller and Morgan pushed the Chicago Consortium as the vanguard behind their backs, with the intention of starting from the financial sector, disrupting Canada''s financial order, attacking the Rohill family, and reaping huge wealth..." "Mr. Richard, the cakes in Canada are so big that I can''t eat so much by myself. Rather than bargaining for others, I''d better give it to a friend, so I thought of you." "If our two join forces, I think we will not only be able to obtain sufficient funds, but also be able to gain a foothold in Canada, even if Rockefeller and Morgan react, there is nothing we can do." Richard King Mellon faced Xia Yu''s rhetoric, saying that it was impossible not to be moved, but he still remained calm and wise enough. After he made his statement, he asked the most critical question. "Mr. Xia, if the two of us work together, if we can enter Canada, we will definitely not be afraid of other consortia." "But how can you guarantee that we can all enter Canada smoothly?" "I want to know your specific plan so that we can decide how we should cooperate." Faced with Richard King Mellon¡¯s scorching eyes, Xia Yu smiled slightly, and finally revealed his detailed plan: "Mr. Richard, my plan is huge. It is divided into three steps." "The first step is to attack Canada from the financial market to obtain sufficient profits." "The second step is to gain enough influence in the political field and defeat the power of the Rohill family." "The third step is to jointly suppress Canadian local factions and other factions from both economic and political levels, and harvest high-quality assets." "First is the first step, I plan to..." As Xia Yu said, Richard King Mellon''s expression became more and more serious, and his eyes flashed with surprise from time to time. He was obviously surprised by Xia Yu''s detailed and ingenious plan. Richard King Mellon, this old fox is like this, let alone Leonard, Woodlow and others. Although they were involved in the family''s business before, they were still in the process of training their capabilities. They were all limited to the company''s management and market competition, and the structure was too small. This is the first time that they have participated in such a high-level plan. In terms of vision and thinking, they have been raised several levels at once, so for them, it was a series of crit attacks, and their thinking was greatly impacted. Is this the struggle at the top... Comparing the two men, the two girls Li Qian and Xiandi¡¯s focus is on Xia Yu. Li Qian¡¯s face is full of worship, and although Xiandi is a little worse, her eyes are also I don''t know when it changed. a long time. "Mr. Richard, this is my plan, what do you think?" With Xia Yu''s last sentence finished. "Papa......" Richard King Mellon came back to his senses, clapped his hands lightly, and praised with emotion: "Mr. Xia, your plan is great. If you let me come, even if it''s like you , Also need enough think tank and time." "I''m very curious, how long did you take this plan?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and said half-truth: "It took about two months, with the assistance of a think tank." Richard King Mellon admired: "Two months is also very short. It is difficult for me to do it." "Then Mr. Richard, what do you think?" Xia Yu asked with a smile, looking directly at Richard King Mellon. "Such a great plan, of course I will not miss it." "And this is our first cooperation, and I will do my best!" Richard King Mellon said very solemnly. "Then we have a good discussion about how the specific cooperation should be carried out." "of course¡­¡­" ... On that day, both Xia Yu and Richard King Mellon were perfecting the cooperation plan. From the resources he exposed in Canada, it can be seen that he really cooperated with Xia Yu sincerely. For example, Richard King Mellon offered to invest 50 million US dollars in political funds to generate momentum and contacts to win supporters for Joseph Chretien, and at the same time in the formal election At that time, the Mellon Consortium¡¯s Canadian companies and media were used to canvass votes for the Liberal Party. After enjoying a sumptuous Chinese dinner together in the evening, while resting and drinking tea. "Mr. Richard, there is one more thing. I would like to invite you to take a trip to the mainland with me, which is Pengcheng across the Xiangjiang River." Richard King Mellon was taken aback, and asked in a puzzled way: "Can I know why?" Xia Yu explained with a smile: "Mr. Richard, you may not know that I have collided with the Rohill family several times, and now the Rohill family has invested a lot of power in Xiangjiang, trying to monitor my every move. ." "Your arrival will definitely make the Rohill family vigilant, but he will definitely not know the content of our conversation. The unknown will make them explore wildly, which will create risks for our cooperation." "So we need something to guide them to go astray and let them relax their vigilance." Richard King Mellon knew that Xia Yu had collided with the Rohill family several times, and his attention to Xia Yu had increased a bit. He smiled and nodded: "It is indeed necessary to divert their attention." "It just so happened that Sandy told me before that you want to invite our family to invest in the mainland, and I am also very curious about the current development of the mainland." "When shall we go?" "How about tomorrow?" Xia Yu asked with a smile. "Of course no problem." Richard King Mellon nodded in agreement. PS: Chapter 2 is late. I¡¯m sorry. I have seen everyone¡¯s opinions. Don¡¯t worry, what is the point of simply fighting Canada? This battle has to expand the protagonist¡¯s power in North America. The layout is compared. Big, so there will be more foreshadowing. What a real man in three seconds? We have to last v3 Chapter 1307: The best peers in the world Latest URL: After returning to the villa. Richard King Mellon leaned on the leather sofa in a comfortable position, looked at the three children, and asked softly: "What do you think and feel at the end of the day?" The youngest son Woodrow Mellon said in a very admiring tone: "I know for the first time that people of my age can be so outstanding that I am too far apart from him." Leonard Mellon had a complicated mind all day. Facing the problem raised by his father at this time, he said with a heavy face: "Father, he is the best person I have ever met. Apart from you, I have never I think that a person of the same age can be comparable to you." "Before I came, I was still a little unconvinced, but today I know that I am still too arrogant and arrogant, and I still need a lot of exercise." Because of the special reasons of the Mellon family''s generation, the burden of inheriting the family passed over his two brothers and directly fell on him. As a result, he was the first to participate in family affairs among the younger generation in the United States, and he was the one with the deepest involvement. As the first heir to the Mellon family, he has endured countless flattery. Even though he kept reminding himself to keep calm, he still felt a little drifting before he knew it. But today, after listening to his father''s discussion with Xia Yu, Leonard Mellon was thrown into a basin of ice water and completely awake. He recalled all his past, and his heart was full of shame. Xia Yu, who is younger than him, can even walk in the top level of the world, chatting with his extremely admired father, even Xia Yu is the protagonist and his father is the supporting role. However, he is still growing up under the glory of the family and under the protection of his father. He does not know how long it will take to support the family and take over the important tasks of the family. This gap is so big that he almost bursts into his mentality. The answers and reactions of the two sons made Richard King Mellon nod secretly, and his goal of bringing the two sons here was achieved. "Dad, I always thought I had a deep understanding of Xia Yu, but today I discovered that my understanding of him is only superficial." "He is really a man with a treasure chest. When you think you know him enough, he will show you the ability to surprise you." Cindy Mellon''s eyes flickered and said softly. "Sister, you don''t like him anymore, do you?" Seeing her sister''s appearance, Woodlow couldn''t help joking. Unexpectedly, Sandy''s pretty face blushed, as if she had been exposed to a secret. She glared at her younger brother Woodlow and warned, "What are you saying? Believe it or not, I will shake all your bad things." come out?" Woodlow was shocked immediately. He didn''t know if his sister was cheating him, but he still glanced at his father with a guilty conscience, and apologized with an awkward smile: "Sister, I''m just kidding." "Hmph, take control of your own mouth!" Glancing at Woodlow again, Sandy looked at her father, and suddenly found that his father was looking at her with a meaningful look. She felt uncomfortable and left a word and got up and walked towards the room. "Dad, it''s getting late, I''ll go back to the room first." When Sandy disappeared from view. The father and son looked at each other. Leonard Mellon said to his father: "Father, judging from the appearance of my sister, it seems that I really like him." Woodrow Mellon also nodded deeply: "I also think so, such a good man is full of charm, and the attraction to women is too great. If I were so good, I would definitely have... er... " When it came to the back, Woodrow Mellon suddenly felt a little quiet in the air. He glanced at him and found that his father and brother were looking at him inexplicably. He decisively shut up and stopped talking, wishing to slap his mouth twice. "Well, you guys should take a rest early, and sum it up in the evening, and remember to keep your spirits up. If you go to the mainland tomorrow, you might have something to gain." Richard King Mellon didn''t criticize his son, he just said a little, and got up and left. "Okay, father." "I will summarize it well." After Leonard and Woodlow finished answering, they looked at each other and stood up to meet in the room. This night, all four people are destined to have some insomnia. ... The next morning, Xia Yu, the Mellon family and others formed a huge motorcade and headed north to Pengcheng. Yesterday after the mainland received Xia Yu''s report, the top level was alarmed. After all, besides Xia Yu, there was also the head of the Mellon Consortium, one of the ten largest consortia in the United States. In the current reform and opening up of the mainland, investment is mainly from overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and capital from Europe, the United States and other countries has rarely come to the mainland. The arrival of Old Mellon is too significant. If he can successfully invest in Pengcheng, it will play a role as a benchmark, and it will change the view of European and American capital on the mainland. This will play a role in the reform and opening up of the mainland. To a huge boost. Therefore, the above entrusted person to say that Xia Yu must help persuade Richard King Mellon to invest in Pengcheng, and the mainland will go all out to provide assistance and cooperation. It is precisely because of the high attention. When Xia Yu and others first arrived at the dock, they saw all the teams in Guangdong Province and Pengcheng waiting at the dock to welcome the arrival of Xia Yu and others. "Mr. Richard, let me introduce to you, this is Secretary Liu from Guangdong Province, the current post..." "This is Secretary Li from Pengcheng City..." "Everyone, this is Mr. Richard King Mellon. These three are her children, the third son Leonard Mellon, the fourth son Woodrow Mellon, and the daughter Sandy Mellon. " ... After a very formal and warm greeting, all the talents set off to settle at the five-star Marco Polo Hotel designated as a hospitality hotel, where a brief meeting was held by the way. After the meeting, I enjoyed another sumptuous lunch. Then other talents gradually left, leaving Liu Zhongfei, Li Bin and others. In the afternoon¡¯s itinerary, one theme was to take Lao Meilong and others to visit the status quo of Pengcheng. During the visit, click on the side to see if Lao Meilong can invest in the mainland. In this process, UU reading Xia Yu received the entrustment of Liu Zhongfei and Li Bin, which will play an absolutely crucial role. As far as Pengcheng is concerned, Xia Yu is the biggest investor, and Xia Yu owns all the super large factories. For example, China Southern Iron and Steel Company, Huanong Group, Kyushu Chemical Company, Kyushu Petrochemical Group, Tiangong Machinery Group and so on. While visiting, Xia Yu and Li Bin also told them about the changes in Guangdong Province and Pengcheng in recent years. So after the whole process, Richard King Mellon saw the real situation of the mainland''s reform and opening up through the changes in Pengcheng. He decided to invest in the mainland! But for the specific investment direction, he plans to have a good chat with Xia Yu. So in the evening, when Liu Zhongfei and others were not present, Richard King Mellon and Xia Yu discussed separately. PS: The second one will come out before 10 o''clock at the latest. v3 Chapter 1308: Bargaining the Gulf Oil Companys business The latest website: "Mr. Xia, after a visit in the afternoon, I saw the driving force for the flourishing development of the mainland. I decided to invest in the mainland, but I would like to hear your opinion." "Mr. Richard, maybe you can also invest in aluminum, steel, petrochemical, chemical and other industries." Xia Yu made a very pertinent suggestion based on what he knew about the Mellon consortium. Richard King Mellon glanced at Xia Yu in surprise, and said with a smile: "I remember that you have invested in companies in the steel, petrochemical and chemical fields here. Are you afraid that I will compete with you?" Xia Yu smiled slightly and said frankly: "Why should I worry? This is a country with one billion people. I can''t eat all the markets alone. Even if you don''t come, there will be others in the future. Competition will always exist. Yes, and only competition can force my company to become even better, out of the mainland, and into the world." Richard King Mellon laughed: "You are right, it seems that I think too much." "However, the petrochemical, chemical and steel sectors are not suitable for investment in the mainland, but the aluminum industry can choose." Xia Yu raised his brows slightly and asked, "Why? I''m a little curious." Richard King Mellon explained: "Under the current international environment, the basic industries are in a trend of decline. The US steel industry is very difficult to operate. It is even harder to do business in foreign markets, not to mention that you already have your steel company here. , Enough to fill the market in the southern part of the mainland." "In the field of chemistry, the development conditions and market in mainland China are not mature enough for the time being." "As for the petrochemical field, Gulf Oil''s strategy is to abandon its foreign business and fully shrink its business back to the United States. Although I am a major shareholder of Gulf Oil, it is difficult for me to change the company''s strategic plan." Xia Yu''s heart moved, and the interface said: "I seem to have seen relevant news in the past. Gulf Oil has gradually cleaned up assets outside the United States in the past few years." Richard King Mellon did not hide, but admitted frankly: "Yes." "Last year, I have sold gas stations in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden and Norway to Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation twice." "In the near future, we plan to sell more than 1,500 gas stations in Western Europe and the four-million-tonne/year refinery in Bertorio, Italy." "In the future, the company''s oil refining, sales and chemical businesses in Western and Northern Europe will all be cleaned up." This is the open business strategy of Gulf Oil Company, so Richard King Mellon has not concealed anything, and even hopes that the news will spread even more, attract more buyers and return more funds. After all, the situation of Gulf Oil Company is not so good. The Gulf Oil Company, the pillar of the Mellon Consortium¡¯s oil field, is currently the fifth largest oil company in the United States and the seventh largest in the world as one of the seven oil sisters. Its annual turnover last year was US$29.8 billion, but its profit was only US$700 million. The profit margin is only 2.35%. This is the fourth year that Gulf Oil has fallen in profits. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Richard, hearing what you said, I suddenly became interested. How about Gulf Oil selling all Western Europe and Northern Europe and its business to me at once?" Xia Yu''s sudden proposal surprised Richard King Mellon. He watched Xia Yu for a few seconds and found that Xia Yu was serious. He smiled and said, "Of course, as long as the price is reasonable." Xia Yu smiled slightly and said softly: "Of course, I won''t let my friends lose out. I will send someone to contact Gulf Oil Company later, so please inform the management in advance." "No problem." Richard King Mellon smiled and nodded. Although Xia Yu was very interested in Gulf Oil''s business, he avoided Richard King Mellon''s clues. He skipped this topic and went back to the beginning. "Mr. Richard, let''s go back to the original topic. Are you planning to invest in aluminum companies in the mainland?" "Yes, it seems that this market is the most suitable at the moment." "It''s just that I still have some concerns about the development environment in the mainland." "It can only be a joint venture and cannot obtain a relative controlling stake. This will pose a huge risk to the company''s operations." Richard King Mellon nodded and raised his concerns. It is normal for him to have such worries. Xia Yu also expressed his understanding. Although the mainland seems to have made great strides in reform and opening up, the various restrictions still make European and American capital accustomed to capital freedom feel uncomfortable. Many European and American companies did not come to the mainland for these reasons at the beginning of reform and opening up. After 1993, the mainland entered the second stage of reform and opening up, when European and American capital poured into the mainland on a large scale. The previous Alcoa Company also took the first step in 1993 and tentatively opened a representative office in the capital. "Mr. Richard, there is really no way to do this. I have to abide by many rules, but for now, my company has not encountered any problems." Xia Yu shrugged and said. Richard King Mellon took a sip of coffee, and when he put down the cup, he suddenly suggested: "Mr. Xia, how about this, I invite you to work together, how about?" Xia Yu was a little surprised, and asked, "What is a cooperative method?" Richard King Mellon spoke out the idea he had just come up with: "I let Alcoa invest in the mainland, but in terms of equity, I can take a step back. It only accounts for 40% and the remaining 60%. You and the mainland government share equally." "Do you think this can be achieved?" Under Richard King Mellon''s scorching eyes, Xia Yu thought about it. Obviously, Richard King Mellon does not believe in the mainland, so he does not intend to allow the mainland to obtain a relative controlling stake. But Richard King Mellon himself knew that he couldn''t get a relative controlling stake, so he came up with this compromise and hit the side ball. According to his cooperation law, Alcoa will be the largest shareholder, and the mainland government can only be the second largest shareholder on par with Xia Yu, and the influence of the mainland government will be weakened to a minimum. Finally, he also reached a cooperation with Xia Yu on this project, which deepened the cooperative relationship and reduced the company''s risks. For Richard King Mellon, there is no difference between 49% and 40% equity. After thinking through Richard King Mellon''s calculations, Xia Yu was rather happy. He had no reason to refuse such a cooperation. He can completely let the mainland-registered Kyushu Industrial Group buy shares, and the problem will be solved. This is a privilege he has obtained, and it can be regarded as the return of the mainland''s strong support for him. Kyushu Industrial Group does not belong to foreign capital and can be regarded as mainland local capital. Therefore, Richard King Mellon was looking for him to cooperate with is the right one. Apart from him, there is really no second suitable person in the mainland. "Mr. Richard, I think I have no reason to refuse." Xia Yu responded with a smile to his proposal. "Then it''s settled for the time being and I''ll hand it to you tomorrow." "no problem." ... In fact, after Xia Yu returned that evening, he called Liu Zhongfei and informed him of Richard King Mellon¡¯s intention to cooperate, and pointed out that Kyushu Industrial Group was involved because of the special nature of Kyushu Industrial Group. , Liu Zhongfei naturally agreed. The next day, the three parties sat down and reached a preliminary cooperation intention. As for the actual implementation stage, Alcoa must send someone to negotiate. Then the group returned to Xiangjiang. In the evening, Richard King Mellon and others boarded a private jet and returned to the United States. After Xia Yu rested for a night, he ordered Pacific Oil Company, which had been set up and operated for more than a year, to send a team to the United States to negotiate the acquisition of Gulf Oil Company''s refineries, sales and chemical businesses in Western and Northern Europe. He who is familiar with historical trends knows very well Gulf Oil Company has made a very wrong strategic decision, shrinking international business, and completely shifting its focus back to the United States, which will bring Gulf Oil Company into the abyss and eventually its demise . The value of these international assets of Gulf Oil Company will rise after a few years. Of course, what Xia Yu values ??most is the talents and management system contained in Gulf Oil¡¯s businesses in Northern and Western Europe. This is accumulated over decades. If he is allowed to build the same amount of business from the beginning, the least It takes ten years. Now his Pacific Petroleum Company, but last year bought nearly 7 billion U.S. dollars worth of equity in oil fields and oil extraction companies, and he plans to stock up oil fields in the future. What is urgently needed is the ability to process and sell oil. Can it be solved with money, or is it a bargain hunter, isn''t it good? Moreover, the cooperation with the Mellon consortium on the mainland and the cooperation with the Gulf Oil Company are sufficient to explain the reason Richard King Mellon came to Xiangjiang. It is enough to divert the attention of the Lowhill family! ps: Second, ask for a monthly pass! v3 Chapter 1309: Canadian Financial Explosive Barrel The latest website: Canada Toronto 300 Index, which was compiled in January 1977. The index is composed of 300 stocks with the largest trading volume. As of the latest statistics, these 300 stocks include 27 financial services companies, 52 metals, mining and gold companies, 60 oil and gas companies, 15 utility companies, 39 industrial products companies, and consumer goods manufacturers. There are 21 companies, 13 transportation companies and pipeline transportation companies, 13 hybrid joint companies, 26 commodity trading companies, and 34 other types of companies. Since the compilation of the Toronto 300 Index in 1977, the Canadian stock market has gone through a long bull market, starting from the first 1,000 points. Although it fell for a while due to the impact of the oil crisis in 1980, it was in March 1984. Has rushed to 2300 points. In seven years, it has more than doubled! And since 1980, it has almost risen in a straight line. The high unemployment rate has not had an impact on the Canadian stock market. More people believe that the Canadian stock market will become more prosperous. Funds have been invested in the Canadian stock market to promote the prosperity of the stock market. In addition, since 1982, the Canadian government suspended its money supply control indicators and allowed domestic interest rates to fluctuate simultaneously with or higher than the U.S. interest rates, which accelerated the inflow of foreign funds into Canada and further stimulated the prosperity of the Canadian stock market. Regarding the exchange rate, the Canadian dollar has been weak from 1980 to 1982, but since the second half of 1982, with the adjustment of Canadian policy interest rates, it attracted large-scale foreign capital inflows into Canada and continuously pushed up the Canadian dollar''s exchange rate. In 1984, benefiting from Canada''s strong stock market and artificial operations, the Canadian dollar exchange rate rose again. As of March, the highest reached 0.8285 points. The Canadian dollar exchange rate rises, naturally, the strength of the bulls rises, and the willingness of capital to do more. As for the Canadian bond market, due to the "seesaw effect", the stock market has risen for a long time, while the bond market has shown a long-term downward trend. Under this circumstance, Xia Yu''s multi-party funds have poured into Canada, especially the Canadian bond market and bond futures, and they have been continuously buying. Of course, more funds are still vacant, wandering in front of Canada. This is not to say that Xia Yu did not act in the stock and foreign exchange markets. For the stock and foreign exchange markets, Xia Yu is the short seller. However, Xia Yu is not just for short-selling profits, he also plans to buy bottoms in the later period, so some of his funds will naturally enter Canada, which further pushes up the Canadian dollar exchange rate. Compared with letting large-scale funds enter Canada and pushing up the exchange rate later, Xia Yu certainly chose to enter the early stage. Although there will be losses after the Canadian dollar exchange rate is exploded later, he is completely sure to hedge the losses. Simply blasting the Canadian dollar exchange rate to make a cash, or harvesting the company''s assets in Canada, which is the lighter and the heavier, of course Xia Yu can handle it. However, as time entered April, the atmosphere in the Canadian financial market gradually became weird. The capital power for short selling in the Canadian foreign exchange and stock markets is gradually increasing, and the cakes on these two casinos are getting bigger and bigger. Although the risk has also increased sharply, the least feared by capital is risk. Longs and shorts are still raising bets, and either party firmly believes that they will win! The major banks and brokerages in Canada are the main bulls. The main bearers are the Continental Bank of Illinois, CNA Financial Corporation, Chicago First National Bank, Northern Trust Company, Harris Trust & Savings Bank, etc., mostly financial companies of the Chicago Consortium. It can be said that the financial company of the Chicago Consortium is the biggest banner among the bears. The big betting market with storms attracted hot money from all over the world, including Europe, island countries, the Middle East and Australia, and then stood in teams. When this explosive barrel will ignite, no one knows, everyone is waiting with expectation and anxiety, filling... At this moment, Xia Yu was not in a hurry, he still had the mind to do other things. He first completed the establishment of the Yanhuang Association and the Blue Star Association, and then studied the financial markets of European countries. And when George Berkeley reported to him that the United Kingdom had introduced a telecommunications bill to privatize the British Telecom company and sell 50.2% of its shares to the public and company employees, George Berkeley was asked to join the equity competition, and then he was against the situation. He gave instructions for actions on the West German and Austrian stock markets. The Bright Fund entered West Germany a long time ago, and in 1981 the West German stock index went up and down around 500 points. Sure enough, between 1982 and the first half of 1983, the West German stock market ushered in a surge, rushing to a height of 800 points, and then stabilized for more than half a year. And this time, Xia Yu judged that the West German stock market would soar again. The West German stock index is expected to double and is expected to reach 1,600 points, so let the Bright Fund make a heavy bet before the bull market hits. In West Germany, there is a branch in charge, while in Austria, it can only be executed by George Berkeley. ... Although the Austrian stock exchange market is now a deadly silent market, only open for a few hours a week, the entire market has less than 30 stocks and less than 20 members, but it has an extremely glorious history. Before the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had not disintegrated. As the stock exchange market of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austrian Stock Exchange was the largest exchange in Central Europe with the largest market share at that time, and its position was like that of New York and Tokyo. It is a pity that flowers do not have a hundred days of red. With the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria is now only a small country in Central Europe, with a land area of ??only more than 80,000 square kilometers and a population of 7.56 million. In terms of gross national product, it was 72.121 billion US dollars in 1983, 1.57 times that of Hong Kong. Of course With Austria''s population and gross national product, the financial market should develop into this way, it really shouldn''t. Especially in February 1984, the Austrian stock market, which had fewer than 30 stocks, was even more troublesome. The stock market fell to half of its 1961 level. Very few investors who are still interested in stocks are cold. The Austrian government is in a hurry, but can''t do anything about it. It was in this situation that George Berkeley, the European financial giant, came to Austria and held a normal social networking party. The members invited were only the wealthy locals in Austria. With the end of the reception, the news of George Berkeley''s arrival naturally spread throughout the upper class of Austria. Troy Walpole, the current chairman of the Austrian Stock Exchange, had a heartbeat and went straight to visit his boss, Ulysses Myron, the Deputy Minister of Finance and Director of the Financial Market Authority of Austria. PS: The information is too difficult to check, vomiting blood v3 Chapter 1310: FISHING Austria Latest website: "Minister Myron, I have important news that I want to report to you. It may be of great help to us." As soon as he entered Ulysses Myron''s office, Troy Walpole hurriedly said. "Oh?" "What''s the news?" Ulysses Myron moved for a while, put down the pen, looked at Troy Walpole with scorching eyes, and asked. "The President of the British Bright Fund, George Berkeley, is currently staying in Vienna. If he can be persuaded to fully support our financial market reforms, it will be of great help to us." Troy Walpole said hurriedly. In February, the stocks on the Austrian Stock Exchange had plummeted, which left investors'' hearts cool, but also completely awakened the Austrian government. The Austrian government has realized that if Austria wants to develop better, it needs an active capital market to help. Therefore, after discussions at the top of the Austrian government, the decision has been made that changes must be made, and the responsibility naturally falls on the Financial Market Administration of the Ministry of Finance. To this end, after many internal discussions within the Financial Markets Authority, several plans have also been discussed. One of them is to change the relevant policies and introduce powerful brokers to push up the Austrian stock market. After that, it will become famous, attract more capital influx, and then promote a number of high-quality companies to go public, forming a virtuous circle. However, there is a huge problem with this plan, that is, based on the situation of the Austrian stock market, why should foreign financial giants come to Vienna, Austria? The current Austrian Vienna Stock Exchange is unattractive to financial giants. Less than 30 stocks can easily be blown up. With less than a few hours of trading time a week, there is no basis for operating stocks at all. Troy Walpole visited financial giants in West Germany and France, but none of the companies were interested. This time, George Berkeley, the president of the Bright Fund, took the initiative to come to Austria, which was definitely a pleasant surprise. Although, for the time being, I don¡¯t know what his purpose is for coming to Austria... "Regardless of his purpose in coming to Austria, be sure to talk to him!" Ulysses Myron said decisively. Act upon decision. After Ulysses Myron contacted George Berkeley through others, he arrived at the InterContinental Vienna Hotel where George Berkeley was staying that afternoon. After some greetings, everyone was seated separately. George Berkeley looked at Ulysses Myron with a smile, and asked pretendingly: "Mr. Myron, what are you looking for for me?" Ulysses Myron responded with a smile without covering up, and went straight to the subject and said: "President Berkeley, are you here to establish a branch in Austria?" George Berkeley laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "I had this plan at the beginning, but after seeing the real situation in Austria, I cancelled the plan." "Austria is a desert of capital!" This evaluation immediately made Ulysses Myron anxious. He hurriedly said: "President Berkeley, that was just before. We have realized that Austria needs a prosperous capital market. Now we are actively making changes. If you set up a branch in Austria, I think you will definitely not be disappointed. " "That''s right, President Berkeley, we have already made a new system, and it''s almost time to submit it for review. If you don''t believe it, you can take a look." Troy Walpole, chairman of the Vienna Stock Exchange, also said with a drink, and at the same time took out a prepared plan from his bag, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of George Berkeley. The documents are all pushed to the front. George Berkeley will not lose face. He picked it up and looked through it roughly. It is indeed the operation and management mechanism of the Vienna Stock Exchange. Compared with the status quo, it has drastically changed, but compared with the actual situation in the United Kingdom. small differences. He couldn''t help but secretly said that the boss''s strategic vision was too precise. Immediately afterwards, he put down the plan and smiled and commented: "The plan is very good, but a successful stock exchange is not just about having a system. I believe that any country in the world can make a similar plan. " "But there are not many countries that can have successful stock exchanges. I think the two gentlemen are also very clear about why this is the case." "For now, I don''t see the future of the Austrian financial market." "Establishing a branch in Austria has a high probability of losing money, and the probability of success is too small." He already knows that the Austrian government is urgent now, and the more so, the less urgent he is. You must get more benefits! George Berkeley''s brain was running fast, thinking about how to squeeze the wool of the Austrian government. Although Ulysses Myron was a little frustrated, he did not give up. As long as George Berkeley did not say anything, there would still be a chance. He continued to persuade: "President Berkeley, we are also clear about the situation you are considering, but I think that with the reputation of Bright Fund in Europe, as long as it can come to the Vienna Stock Exchange, I believe it will definitely attract the influx of other capital. If you enter the market early, you will definitely get the richest return." "Of course, we will do our best to assist you and will certainly not make your company lose money." George Berkeley looked at Ulysses Myron with a smile, and said, "Mr. Myron, what you said has a certain appeal, but it''s not enough to make me determined." "You plan to use the influence of our Bright Fund, but we have to bear the risks. Your bargaining chips are not enough." George Berkeley''s tone is looser again! Ulysses Myron and Troy Walpole were pleasantly surprised. Ulysses Myron said immediately: "President Berkeley, what measures do you think we need to make before you are willing to cooperate with us?" "Please rest assured, we have unparalleled sincerity!" George Berkeley looked surprised and looked at Ulysses Myron, then his expression became more solemn. "Mr. Myron, I feel your sincerity." "I suddenly became interested." "If you can come up with something that is attractive enough to me, maybe I can take huge risks and try my best to help you build a successful capital market." Ulysses Myron was surprised and hurriedly asked: "Really?" "President Berkeley, what do you need?" George Berkeley smiled and shook his head, and said, "Mr. Myron, don''t worry, I also suddenly became interested. I haven''t thought about it yet." After he pondered for a moment, he continued: "Why not, let me think about the elimination today, and I also want to ask my subordinates to study how to operate in order to succeed, including what elements you need to provide me with success." "President Berkeley, how long does it take?" Ulysses Myron asked hurriedly. George Berkeley contemplated his eyebrows, and seemed to be planning a specific time. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Myron, since you are in such a hurry, why don''t we meet here tomorrow afternoon?" "Okay, then I''ll wait for your good news." Ulysses Myron nodded hurriedly. Then, after the two talked for a while, Ulysses Myron said goodbye, as if he was afraid that he would delay George Berkeley''s time to think. ... In a blink of an eye, the next afternoon was still in the same place. After a brief conversation. When George Berkeley made a series of demands, Ulysses Myron was instantly dumbfounded. 1. Ask the Austrian government to assist Bright Fund in acquiring an Austrian bank. 2. The Austrian government must issue a series of policies... 3. In order to reform the stock market system for the proceeds from the Vienna Stock Exchange, Bright Fund needs to acquire a portion of the equity. 4.... ... PS: Second, ask for a monthly pass, thank you for your rewards v3 Chapter 1311: 5 largest banks in Austria Latest website: 1.

The Austrian government must introduce a series of policies, including: ¢ÙReduction and exemption of tax treatment for investors investing in the stock market...¢ÚIntroduction of the government requiring government social security and welfare funds and insurance companies to enter the stock market... 3. In order to reform the stock market system for the proceeds from the Vienna Stock Exchange, Bright Fund needs to acquire a portion of the equity. 4. Promote the listing of 20 large Austrian companies within half a year. There are only four major conditions, but these four conditions embarrassed Ulysses Myron. "President Berkeley, you have too many conditions, and it is very difficult for us to operate." Lisis Mellen said with a wry smile. George Berkeley shook his head with a faint smile, and said: "It seems very difficult, but it is actually possible for the Austrian government. The key depends on whether you are willing to do it." "It has been 60 or 70 years since the end of the First World War, and Austria has not had a successful capital market. This already reflects the difficulty of building a capital market. If you can do it, there is no need to ask me for help." "Now that we have done research, we have put forward the prerequisites. If the Austrian government cannot provide me with these, our company will not dare to take this risk." "Mr. Myron, the choice is yours, I don''t have to do it." Ulysses Myron was silent, frowning tightly, and struggling violently in his heart. In fact, he was not angry. George Berkeley¡¯s statement is also valid. Now it is their Austrian government who is asking for help. George Berkeley has also taken pains to put forward conditions to prove his sincerity. Now the ball has been kicked back. Here, the right to choose is indeed in his hands. It''s just that this ball is too hot! After thinking for a long time, Ulysses Myron gritted his teeth and made a decision in his mind. He looked at George Berkeley with scorching eyes and said sincerely: "President Berkeley, I have felt your sincerity, and I am very willing to cooperate with you, and I have no opinion on your terms." "But I think you also understand that this matter is beyond my scope of authority, and I need to report it to the above for discussion and research." "So, for the four conditions you put forward, can you interpret it for me? I need these contents to convince my boss." George Berkeley smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is what I should do." "Then I start with the first condition." With that said, he sat up straight and assumed a formal negotiation posture. Ulysses Myron told the chairman of the Vienna Stock Exchange, Troy Walpole, "Troy, you are responsible for keeping records." "Yes!" The chairman of a stock exchange can only perform the duties of a secretary at this time, honestly holding a pen and a notebook to prepare records. Seeing that they were ready, George Berkeley began to express his views. "The first point is that I need the Austrian government to assist us in acquiring a bank. The starting point is very simple. Our company needs huge funds to activate the capital market and at the same time play a major role in the mid to late stage." "Although our company is strong, the main funds will only be invested in the United Kingdom, West Germany, France, and the United States. The funds that can be invested in Austria will be relatively small. Under the premise of insufficient funds, bank funds will be needed. To enlarge it, otherwise it will not be able to form a scale effect." "Secondly, only when we have acquired a bank and guided by our will, can we fully cooperate with the Austrian government, provide financial support for investors, and quickly expand the Austrian capital market." "To have this effect, we must acquire a large Austrian bank." After speaking, George Berkeley stopped first and waited for Troy Walpole to record. After a while, Troy Walpole nodded slightly to Ulysses Myron, who threw out the question he had just thought: "President Berkeley, your reason is logical. For the acquired bank, you have Didn''t filter out suitable objects?" George Berkeley nodded and said, "Of course, I did a preliminary screening. There are five acquisition targets." "They are the Austrian Central Cooperative Bank, the Austrian Credit Union Bank, the Austrian Transfer Credit Bank, the Austrian Central Savings Commercial Bank and the Austrian First Savings Bank." These five banks are among the top five banks in Austria. Among them, the Central Cooperative Bank of Austria is the largest private bank in Austria. It was established in 1927 and provides commercial and investment banking products and services to individuals, multinational companies and financial service providers. Essentially it is the nature of investment banking. The biggest head behind it is the Roshir family. The current chairman is Liszt Roshir, the head of the Austrian branch of the Roshir family. The second Austrian Credit Union Bank, the third Austrian Credit Transfer Bank and the fourth Austrian Central Savings Commercial Bank are all banks held by the Austrian government, and their shareholding ratios are all over 50%. The fifth largest Austrian First Savings Bank, which is also a privately held bank, was established in 1819 and is very old. However, due to business strategy problems, the number of customers is relatively small, only about 600,000, even the population of Austria. Less than one-tenth. Ulysses Myron nodded and said, "Okay, I see, I will report to it." After speaking, he took another look at Troy Walpole, and when he saw that the latter was already recording, he was relieved. He thought about it and found that the first condition of George Berkeley seemed difficult, but in fact it also had a lot of room to operate. It seemed that it would not hurt to sell one of the three state-controlled banks. I just don¡¯t know if the above determination is as firm as the one said President of Berkeley, please continue. " George Berkeley continued: "The second condition, in fact, cannot be said to be a condition. It can be seen as a supplement to the plan you made." ¡°The first of these is to provide investors with tax deductions and exemptions, which can be subdivided into late-term deductions and early-term credits. As long as investors invest corporate operating profits and personal acquisitions in the stock market, they will enjoy tax exemption treatment, so that investors will Take the initiative to think of ways to make money mobilize instead of depositing it in banks. Although the government has less tax revenue, the benefits of capital investment can definitely make up for it, and the positive impact will be greater." "Article two, the Austrian government¡¯s social security and welfare funds, as well as insurance companies, have huge cash flows. If they can be invested in the stock market, they will act as a ballast stone and give investors unparalleled confidence in the capital market. The cake will definitely expand rapidly, and investment will appreciate. In fact, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages." "For specific results, you can refer to the practices of the United States and the United Kingdom, and significant results have been achieved." v3 Chapter 1312: Reinforce Rolls-Royce Latest URL: Troy Walpole recorded the content of the second most important condition with passion, which he had not thought of before. But with his courage, even if he thought of it, he didn''t necessarily dare to write it into the plan. But this does not mean that he does not have enough vision, but he can easily judge that if the Austrian government really agrees to the second largest condition, then the Vienna Stock Exchange will have a huge foundation for taking off. Of course, this is just the basis, and whether it can take off depends on other factors. After seeing Troy Walpole¡¯s record, Ulysses Myron did not speak, and George Berkeley went on to say: ¡°The third condition is that the Vienna Stock Exchange is reforming the shareholding system from a state-owned nature. Part of the equity, this part of the equity needs to be at least 34%." "Of course, we will not compete for the right to operate, but the right to supervise and suggest." "After the shareholding system reform, except for the government holding part of the equity, the remaining equity can be sold to foreign financial giants. When everyone becomes a shareholder, they naturally become comrades-in-arms in the same trench." "However, shareholders only have the right to supervise and make recommendations, and they will not interfere with the operation of the Vienna Stock Exchange. While ensuring the fairness of the exchange, they will also work together to build the exchange for their own interests." The reason was valid and impeccable, and Ulysses Myron skipped it with satisfaction. George Berkeley went on to explain the fourth condition: "At present, the Vienna Stock Exchange does not even have 30 stocks. Although there are many large companies, some of them are still weak and the number of shares in circulation is not enough." "Promote 20 large companies to go public within half a year, and release enough stocks to turn a small pond into a vast ocean, not to mention accommodating sharks or feeding a group of whales." "Twenty companies have only conservative requirements. If they can promote more companies to go public, of course it would be even better!" The explanation of this condition worries Ulysses Myron. He pointed directly to the core: "President Berkeley, if the Vienna Stock Exchange can have a good start and develop a good momentum, it will be no problem to promote the listing of 20 large companies within six months. It can also **** the approval and save the approval time." "But there is a very critical issue. Before the popularity of the Vienna Stock Exchange, there was not enough funds to undertake it. The release of large quantities of stocks would easily break, and then a vicious circle would form, which would make ordinary investors more confident. broken." George Berkeley said with a light smile: "Mr. Myron, I can understand your concerns, and I can give you a definite answer." "First, as long as the Austrian government can agree to my terms and fully cooperate with my actions, then I have the confidence to attract large quantities of capital into the Austrian capital market." "Second, for any company to go public, our Bright Fund will be the largest underwriter, and will bring in at least three large financial companies as underwriters to ensure that the stock will not break." "I have two promises that can be written into the memorandum of cooperation." "So, are you still worried?" A bright smile appeared on Ulysses Myron¡¯s face, and he shook his head and said, ¡°Thank you, President Berkeley, I¡¯m not worried anymore.¡± As long as the Bright Fund acts as the largest stock underwriter, there is no doubt that the Bright Fund will go all out to push up the stock price. Although this will make Bright Fund a giant in the Austrian stock market, he doesn''t care. As long as Austria succeeds in having a prosperous capital market, how can Bright Fund gain huge benefits? That is the benefit they deserve! "Ok." "Mr. Myron, all my conditions have been made clear, do you have any other questions?" George Berkeley looked at Ulysses Myron and Troy Walpole with a smile. The two looked at each other. Finally, Ulysses Myron asked another question: "President Berkeley, how long will you stay in Austria?" George Berkeley thought for a moment and gave a rough deadline: "About a week." This time is relatively short! A sense of urgency arose in Ulysses Myron¡¯s heart. He said solemnly, ¡°I know. You contact." "Ok, I will live here during this time." "Okay, President Berkeley, let''s not disturb you for now, and wish you a happy life!" "I will send you." ... After Ulysses Myron submitted the plan, it naturally caused a huge sensation at the top of the Austrian government, but there was no absolute opposition. The point of contention lies in the conditions of George Berkeley. After understanding the actual situation in Austria, in George Berkeley''s view, the Austrian government will definitely compromise. After all, this is a business after all. Compared with the future gains of the Austrian government, although the conditions he mentioned seem to be painful at the moment, it is definitely super cost-effective. It depends on whether the Austrian government has this courage! George Berkeley did not waste time waiting. Bright Fund controls HSBC Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, and also holds equity in some other banks. With so much bank support, it is naturally rich in wealth. Bright Fund is also taking full advantage of the "financial consortium", using bank funds to acquire potential companies. According to the company''s previous research, there are many companies in Austria that are worthy of investment and mergers and acquisitions, and two of them are currently very suitable. They are the Austrian Steel United Group and the Austrian avl company. These two companies are complementary to the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. The former is the largest steel company in Austria. Although in Austria, this company has a deep relationship with Germany. In 1938, the Austrian Steel Union Group, as part of the German securities war business, was a steel plant built by the German government in Linz, Austria, and then after the fall of the German government, the assets of this steel plant were taken over by the Austrian government. , And merged with Albina Mining and Metallurgical Company in the 1960s. Currently, there are only three major businesses: Iron and Steel Smelting Branch, Rail System Branch and Automotive Steel Branch. In terms of equity, it is no longer a pure state-owned enterprise, but a mixed system. And because of the global steel industry recession, European countries are revitalizing their own industries. Although the Austrian Steel United Group, which relies on foreign orders, has not suffered a loss, it has only struggled to operate. The think tank of the Bright Fund analyzed that the Austrian Steel United Group has a great possibility of being acquired, especially when the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is present together, the possibility of success is even greater. The reason why Rolls-Royce Motor Group wants to acquire steel companies in Austria is based on comprehensive considerations. One is to expand the market in Central Europe. Austria has a good foundation for automobile manufacturing and the acquisition of Austrian Steel United Group has a great advantage; the other is because The contradiction between the union and the government in the United Kingdom has expanded. In particular, the chairman of the British Miners¡¯ Association, Arthur Scargill, announced last month that the strikes in various mining areas will become a national strike, and called on the National Miners¡¯ Association to work in all mining areas. Of members went on strike. In the short term, the wave of strikes in the UK will not subside, and the Rolls-Royce Motor Group cannot be held back by the unstable steel supply chain in the UK. The second company, Austrian avl, is a company established in 1948. This company is a high-tech company with a high reputation and good reputation in the world''s automobile and engine industries Currently avl is engaged in internal combustion engine design and development, powertrain research and analysis, and related test systems and equipment development and manufacturing , In Austria can be ranked in the top three, has a certain reputation in the world. Rolls-Royce Motor Group is a customer of avl. After working together for some years and seeing the results, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group intends to deepen the cooperation with the purpose of acquiring a part of the equity of avl. In fact, what George Berkeley didn¡¯t know was that the current avl company is just a well-known company, but it has developed into later generations and has become one of the world¡¯s three major internal combustion engine R&D institutions. All engine manufacturers in the world are its customers. The design ability is beyond doubt. Just when George Berkeley personally led the acquisition, the Austrian government finally made a decision on the sixth day... ps: The second one is delivered, ask for a monthly pass v3 Chapter 1313: 1 large bank got it Latest website: When we met again, the atmosphere of the meeting was obviously much more relaxed and happy than the last two. Of course, this meeting was different from the last one. Both parties brought a team. The meeting place was also changed from the Vienna International Hotel, Austria to the meeting room of the Vienna Stock Exchange. After greeting each other and sitting down, Ulysses Myron smiled and told George Berkeley the good news: "President Berkeley, after the above discussion, the government agrees to the four conditions you put forward." "But there are still some details that need to be further refined." George Berkeley smiled and nodded: "No problem." "Then let''s start." Ulysses Myron opened the document and read: "Regarding the first condition, the government is willing to sell the shares of the Austrian Central Savings Commercial Bank. The current government''s direct shareholding ratio is 82.9%." This is the fourth largest bank in Austria and the third largest bank controlled by the Austrian government. The bank currently only conducts business in Austria and a few neighboring countries, with a total of 185 branches, of which there are 117 in Austria, with a total of 4284 employees, total assets of the bank reached 14.82 billion U.S. dollars, and total deposits of 12.38 billion U.S. dollars. Last year¡¯s revenue was 503 million U.S. dollars and net profit of 42 million U.S. dollars. In terms of deposit rate, revenue and profit margin, the Austrian Central Savings and Commercial Bank is definitely a high-quality bank. The reason for taking out this bank is not only because it has the smallest strength, but also because it is the one with the highest shareholding ratio of the Austrian government among the three banks designated by George Berkeley. In the second largest Austrian Credit Union Bank, the Austrian government holds 69.45% of the shares. In the third largest Austrian credit bank, the Austrian government only holds 56%. According to the conditions, the Austrian government needs to assist the Bright Fund to purchase a bank. The central savings and commercial bank, which is the weakest, happens to have the most shares held by the government and the most trouble-free, so it naturally chose it. "I agree with this bank, but the specific value needs to be further evaluated, and the government needs to cooperate with the purchase of the remaining equity." George Berkeley nodded. "no problem." Ulysses Myron smiled and said that the acquisition is not that difficult, because in addition to the 82.9% of the shares directly held by the government, some of the shares are in the hands of state-owned companies, and the government''s will can easily dominate. "Regarding the second condition, the government has made a preliminary draft. In addition to the content you mentioned, there are some supplements, but these supplements are useful. President Berkeley, you can see it by looking at it." As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant beside him took out five or six materials and sent them to George Berkeley and others. After reading it, George Berkeley and others had no objection, because it was indeed a more detailed policy, and he had no reason to refuse. ... Because of the rich content, friendly and harmonious talks lasted for nearly three hours, and then they reached an agreement. The framework of cooperation has been set, and neither side will go back, and the asset appraisal of the Austrian Central Savings and Commercial Bank will also be carried out immediately. So George Berkeley also let go. In order to show his sincerity, he had the first time to let people register a branch in Austria. The Austrian government''s business department passed the green light throughout the process, which is definitely a fast registration. After registration, George Berkeley transferred a branch vice president from the West German branch, named Thomas Morsi, who will serve as the first president of the Austria branch. After the company is registered, the recruitment is started immediately. With the reputation of Bright Fund, it has a strong attraction to Austrian financial elites, not to mention the cooperation of Korn Ferry International. In just one week, the company will look good. After an urgent assessment, the Austrian Central Savings Commercial Bank also officially completed the acquisition. The 82.9% of the shares held by the Austrian government was transferred at a price of US$350 million, and there was also a 5.8% stake held by the Austrian government at a price of US$24.5 million. The funds for the acquisition are directly transferred through the HSBC branch in Austria, which is actually the money borrowed by the Bright Fund from HSBC. After the payment of 374.5 million US dollars, 88.7% of the shares of the Austrian Central Savings Commercial Bank were acquired and directly vested in the Austrian Bright Fund. The remaining 11.3% of the equity will also need the assistance of the Austrian government in the acquisition. After the bank is in hand, the funds of the Austrian Bright Fund will not be a problem. Soon it will be ten times leveraged capital allocation. All stocks listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange will be sold at the bottom. The difficulty of bottom hunting is almost zero. As long as the sellers offer the price, they will sell it, which shows the disappointment of investors. But this is just a bargain for the Bright Fund. The stock hunting was completed in just three days. The Vienna Stock Exchange also quickly completed the reform of the shareholding system and the reform of the operating system. The Bright Fund invested US$500,000 to acquire 34% of the equity, and the price of cabbage was properly obtained. After everything was ready, George Berkeley began to act. A newspaper under the Mirror Group published an article signed by George Berkeley, which directly pointed out that Austria is now a depression of value and listed ten reasons for investing in Austria. As a financial giant in Europe, George Berkeley¡¯s investment vision has always been known for his precision. After he published his article, financial companies in various European countries collected news for the first time. After learning that the Bright Fund had established a branch in Austria, he did not hesitate. Yes, they have sent people to Austria to open branches. Especially the capital of West Germany, the speed is even faster. Austria is adjacent to West Germany, in fact it is the back garden of West Germany. The national subjects of the two countries are Germanic. The two countries have common ancestors, languages ??and cultures. In history, they belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, that is, the commonwealth. Prussia, which won in the Austrian War, pushed Austria out of Germany. During World War II, Austria was annexed by Germany and became a province of the Third Reich. At that time, the German army was welcomed by most Austrian citizens along the way. After the merger of Germany and Austria, the Austrians joined the army actively under the slogan of "one nation, one empire, one head of state". So in fact, in the eyes of Germans, Austria is part of Germany, and some Austrians think so. The German capital market is actually not active, far worse than France. German financial companies are typically rich and have nowhere to spend. At this time, seeing the Austrian capital market in the back garden is about to take off, West German capital is pouring in wildly. Even less than 30 stocks were directly fired up, which made the Austrian government excited, and the previous voices against cooperation with the Bright Fund disappeared instantly. This time, without George Berkeley''s urging, the Austrian government itself was anxious and issued a decree requiring major domestic companies to actively apply for listing and at the same time allow the Vienna Stock Exchange to rapidly expand its staff. The Austrian capital market is full of vitality. Only after this sheep grows up, the Bright Fund can be harvested. George Berkeley has set a goal to increase 500% in three years! After asking Thomas Morsi to assist the parent company''s acquisition team in acquiring voestalpine and Austrian avl, George Berkeley boarded the return flight with the favor of the Austrian government. According to the news of the London company, the Canadian financial market has been turbulent and will soon burst. He has to go back to the company and take command! ps: First delivery v3 Chapter 1314: The Chicago Consortium not willing to be hunted Latest website: Chicago, USA, in a group of villas adjacent to the lake. James McCormick, Kirston Wood, Simmons Amo, and Walker Crown gathered together. The four of them are representatives of the four core families of the Chicago Consortium. At the same time, the four people are also in charge of one of the four major financial core platforms of the Chicago Consortium, serving as chairman of the board. James McCormick is now the seventh largest bank in the United States and the largest bank in the Chicago consortium, the Continental Bank of Illinois. This is a giant with assets of up to 42 billion U.S. dollars. Coston Wood is in charge of the Chicago First National Bank, the second largest in the consortium. Although this bank ranks second, its total assets are as high as 38 billion U.S. dollars, not far behind the mainland Illinois Bank. Simmons Amo is in charge of the Harris Trust & Savings Bank, the third largest in the consortium. And Walker Krone is in charge of the Northern Trust Bank Corporation, the fourth largest in the consortium. Of course, the four people only serve as the chairman of the four major banks, which does not mean that their family has absolute controlling rights in the four banks. The Chicago Consortium is just a combination of their four major families. In addition to them, there are still other small families gathered around them. This is also normal. After all, these four banks were not all created by them, and some were acquired later. They also went through the process of mergers and acquisitions during the development process, so it is inevitable that there will be other shareholders. It''s just that these shareholders alone have no influence and cannot influence the rule of their four major families. However, with the continuous development and expansion of the Chicago consortium, the scattered equity of various companies is scattered outside, which is usually nothing. But when giants like Rockefeller and Morgan think badly, these sporadic stocks are more deadly. Because the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium have the ability and strength to aggregate these equity acquisitions. Over the years, with the continuous penetration of the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums, many companies in the Chicago consortium have been unable to thoroughly implement the will of their four major families, and many times they have to compromise with each other. Most of the time, it is their four families that compromise. After all, for them, the Chicago consortium is their foundation, but not for the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium. The latter two are completely without a psychological burden to destroy them, but they cannot. Just like this time when they attacked the Canadian financial market, they knew that the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium had the will, but they could not stop it. Although they are the chairman of their respective banks, they have not been able to control the board of directors and the management in these years. Under the urgency of the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium, they have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. Of course, this time they knew they were being used as guns by the two consortiums, but they also meant to cooperate on a subjective level. They are unwilling to be eaten away by the two consortiums, so this crisis is also an opportunity, it is their chance to fight! If it succeeds, it may not be able to quickly return to the blood, and then acquire some shares of the company, once again gain a foothold, and win a respite for them! "Now the situation in Canada is almost out of control. The war is about to start. How are you preparing?" The most prestigious James McCormick said, looking at the other three. "Not bad, I have raised another $2 billion in funding from other companies." Keston Wood said with a light smile. The two billion US dollars of funds were not the funds of Chicago''s First National Bank, but he raised them from other companies or temporarily borrowed them. The money earned by the Chicago First National Bank belongs to the bank. He is only a major shareholder. Even if it wants to pay dividends, it will have to wait for a while. And once his two billion dollars were invested in attacking Canada, the profits he earned would belong exclusively to his Wood family, which was essentially different. "I also raised two billion dollars." "My Crown family raised 1.8 billion U.S. dollars." Simmons Amo and Walker Krone said one after another. "James, where is your McCormick family?" Keston Wood asked curiously. Because everyone is a grasshopper on the same line, James McCormick also truthfully said: "I temporarily raised 2.5 billion US dollars in funds." Among the assets of the McCormick family, outside of the financial sector, the largest are Deere Company and International Harvester Company. International Harvester Company is a company started by the McCormick family. Starting from the harvester, it gradually penetrates into the field of agricultural machinery. It is currently the second largest agricultural machinery giant in the United States. Of course, the largest agricultural machinery giant is Deere Company, this company founded by John Deere, after hundreds of years of development, successfully surpassed the International Harvester Company in 1958, and became the world''s number one in 1963. , So far is still the case. Of course, Deere was also acquired by the McCormick family and holds a large number of shares. With these two machinery manufacturing giants, coupled with partial holdings in companies such as United Department Store and Sears Department Store, the strength of the McCormick family is naturally the strongest of the four major families. The capital flow of the two major machinery giants is huge, and it is only natural that James McCormick can raise 2.5 billion US dollars. Of course, the right to use the money belongs to them only temporarily, allowing them to make money. The ownership is not entirely theirs, after all, the company is not wholly owned by them. As long as there is a shareholder, even if it holds a share, the company¡¯s capital equity belongs to that shareholder. But it is also very good to be able to use it. If it is a loan from a bank outside the consortium, it is not that simple. "If you can raise 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, then the four of us will raise another 8.3 billion U.S. dollars." "This money is definitely enough for us to harvest the fruits of victory!" Walker Krone said with a smile, the pressure in his heart dissipated a little, and it seemed that the net weaving jointly by the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium seemed to be loosened a lot. According to the original plan. Now that the four major banks in the consortium have been promoted by the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium to become pioneers, they will use the most funds to do the hardest work. Then when they completely defeat their opponents they can also seize the opportunity to fight the wind fight as soon as possible. With 8.3 billion dollars of funds rushing into Canada, the Jedi was able to bite a piece of meat on the bulls. At the same time, it can also rush into Canada and harvest high-quality assets. These high-quality assets, whether they are cashed out later or retained, can enhance the strength of their four major families and use them against the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums. "Since everything is ready, let''s act tomorrow." "We should contact other financial companies and work together to reduce our pressure as much as possible. We can''t just do what we do." "It would be great if it can be effective in the first wave of offensive..." ps: Second, what about the IQ of the four major families? Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket ~: My head hurts, take time off tonight Latest website: I¡¯m not feeling well these days. I just gritted my teeth and wrote two chapters last night. Today I feel dizzy, tired, and my brain can¡¯t turn. Have a good rest, sorry everyone Everyone rest early, staying up late is really hurting "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" has a headache, and I''m taking a leave of absence tonight, please wait a moment, After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1315: Win the first round of the general election Latest website: The next day, the Chicago Consortium launched the first wave of fierce offensive. A sell order of up to two billion Canadian dollars was thrown out! In the past two months, the Canadian dollar exchange rate fluctuated sharply, fluctuating around 0.8279 points. But now that the selling order was thrown out, the Canadian dollar exchange rate plummeted and quickly fell to 0.8250 points, and it is still falling rapidly. The bulls and bears in the other courts all realized that the war had finally broken out. The shorts have been working hard, and large sums of Canadian dollar foreign exchange have been sold. The Canadian dollar exchange rate keeps falling. 0.8239. 0.8222. ... 0.8178 In just one minute, the Canadian dollar exchange rate was dropped by 0.01 points. At this time, the bulls also reacted, and one after another opened positions to buy, and a large amount of prepared dollars was spent like a lot of money, all used to receive the dumped Canadian dollars. The bulls will not let the bears rise, they must firmly defend the front line, resist this wave of attacks, and counterattack! In one morning, the US dollar: Canadian dollar foreign exchange trading volume exceeded 20 billion US dollars! This data directly broke the Canadian dollar daily transaction record! Speaking of this, we have to talk about the global foreign exchange market in this era. In the 1930s and 1960s, the global foreign exchange market developed very slowly. However, with the development of computer technology and the gradual electronicization of financial markets, the global foreign exchange market has shown explosive growth after entering the 1980s. Today, the average daily trading volume of the global foreign exchange market has exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars! Of course, at the time of Xia Yu''s rebirth, the average daily trading volume of the global foreign exchange market reached more than $66 trillion, and the overall trading volume exceeded $24 trillion! Of course, today''s foreign exchange market has an average daily trading volume of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, and the Canadian dollar trading volume last year was around 3 to 5 billion U.S. dollars. But this time, it is a special situation after all. It is a huge crisis facing the Canadian financial market. Global funds are rushing to Canada, so the situation is naturally different. Under the short-term operation of a lot of hot money like a chestnut, the transaction volume is soaring just like the data. In the afternoon, the Chicago Consortium launched a second wave of onslaught, and within a short period of time, another 2 billion Canadian dollar sell order was thrown out. Other institutions followed suit. The pressure on the bulls soared, and the exchange rate of 0.8170, which was finally maintained, was broken again. 0.8152. 0.8143. 0.8131. ... And just when the Canadian foreign exchange market was playing dimly. The Canadian stock market has also been negatively affected. The stock market¡¯s upward momentum for two consecutive months was interrupted. The Toronto 300 Index fluctuated sharply at around 2450, and then fell to around 2440 and continued to stabilize. The trading volume of the stock market has dropped a lot. The reason for this is that major institutions have gradually transferred their assets into the foreign exchange market. Today''s Canadian financial market, the foreign exchange market is the largest battlefield and the outermost battlefield. For the time being, the bears have not yet launched an offensive on the Canadian stock market. And just when the bulls and the bears are fighting fiercely. The Canadian evidence has reached its first critical moment. The second round of leader election of the Liberal Party of Canada has arrived. In the election of the leader of the Liberal Party, the right to vote belongs to the Liberal Party members who are members of the House of Commons. In the first round of voting, more than 20 candidates were screened out, and only six people entered the second round of elections. The second round of elections will determine who is the new leader of the Liberal Party. The location of the election was in the large conference room of the Liberal Party. There were more than 300 people in the Liberal Party¡¯s deputies and others. As elected persons, John Napier Turner, Joseph Chretien, Iona Campanillo, Andre Marbury, Harlan Rogier, Markus William, etc. The people gathered in a specific area after the final speeches to canvass for votes. After entering the voting session, starting from the first row, more than two hundred representatives will sequentially put their votes into the sealed ballot box. "Turner, Chretien, I think the winner will appear between you two." As the only female candidate, Iona Campanulo is indeed more convenient to pick up some topics. She smiled and said to John Napier Turner and Joseph Chretien. The other three candidates smiled bitterly at each other. They worked hard, but they also knew their own situation. This time they had no chance. They just came to accompany the election. "Before the results come out, everything is unknown, after all, the voting rights are not in my own hands." Joseph Chretien said with a smile. Compared with him, John Napier Turner''s mood is much heavier. After the first round, it is much more difficult for him to canvass votes. He has already felt that the situation is not right. He has promised all the resources or positions that should be promised, and he has done his best! "The voting is over, and the votes are counted." John Napier Turner watched the staff on the podium preparing to open the box, his fists clenched subconsciously, and he said in a deep voice. The eyes of the six people all focused on the podium. After checking that the number of votes received is correct, the work of tapping the number of votes officially begins. Joseph Chretien, John Napier Turner, and Iona Companuro took the lead as soon as they came up, and the other three only got one vote every other time. When the vote count was about half, Iona Campanula smiled helplessly: "Sure enough, I''m obviously behind you two." But in the face of Iona Campanula, Joseph Chretien and John Napier Turner both smiled back, and then continued to focus on the statistics board. When the last ticket is counted. The voting result is out. Joseph Chretien received 94 votes. John Napier Turner received 78 votes. Iona Campanula received 43 votes. Andre Marbury got 6 votes. Harlan Rogier received 4 votes. Markus William won 3 votes. There is no doubt that Joseph Chretien will become the new leader of the Liberal Party. "Now I declare that the new party leader is Joseph Chretien!" "Joseph Chretien, please come to power." On the stage, the current party leader Pierre took the microphone and announced the result loudly. "Papa......" There was a fierce applause from the audience. "Joseph, congratulations!" "Joseph, congratulations on becoming party leader." "I still lost, congratulations!" John Napier Turner''s face was gloomy, and he squeezed out a grudging smile to congratulate Joseph Chretien, and at the same time shook hands. "thank you all!" "I''ll go up first." After that, Joseph Chretien took a heavy and steady step onto the podium again. "First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone and elect me as the new party leader..." The acceptance speech has been prepared a long time ago, and it has been thoroughly familiar. Seeing Joseph Chretien standing on the podium with high spirits, Pierre, who was sitting in the first row of the stage, couldn''t help smiling. Compared with John Napier Turner, it was Joseph Chretien that satisfied him more. In this election within the party, he was actually on Joseph Chretien¡¯s side, except that he recognized Joseph Chretien¡¯s ability to work. The most important reason is that most of John Napier Turner''s resources come from the United States, and Joseph Chretien found a British consortium. Although he previously relied on the resources of the US consortium to be elected prime minister of Canada, it does not mean that his position has not changed. Today is different from the past. The influence of American capital in Canada is getting bigger and bigger. Now it is attacking the Canadian financial market He will naturally not remain indifferent. Especially after Reagan came to power, he had a lot of contradictions with Reagan, which is why he must support British capital. Canada is also a member of the Commonwealth, and it is still the mainstay. just¡­¡­ Thinking of the situation of the Progressive Conservative Party and the situation of the Liberal Party''s polls, Pierre''s smile disappeared in a moment. Looking at Joseph Chretien on the stage, he said worriedly to himself: "I hope Joseph can lead the Liberal Party to hold the position..." After the election, Joseph Chretien received an invitation from Pierre, and the two held separate talks.

"Joseph, first of all I congratulate you." Pierre said solemnly. "Thank you, I might not have won without your support." Joseph Chretien returned with a humble smile. "Perhaps." Pierre smiled and said, not confined to this topic, and asked: "Joseph, you are elected leader of the party, and the next step is to succeed me as prime minister." "But it has been less than a year since the official election. With the current situation, what do you plan to do?" Having become the leader of the party, Joseph Chretien no longer has to keep Pierre a secret about his plans. "I intend to apply to the Governor to dissolve the Congress and hold a general election in the near future." Pierre was taken aback. He looked at Joseph Chretien with scorching eyes, and asked, "Why are you so anxious?" Just after asking, Pierre seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "Do you think that if we continue to procrastinate, it will be worse for us?" "Yes, my think tank analyzes that with the current situation, even if I take over the position of your prime minister, it will be difficult for me to make political achievements in the short term and reverse the views of the people. On the contrary, there is a higher risk. It is better to change the term ahead of schedule. Disrupt the plan of the Progressive Conservative Party." Joseph Chretien nodded and replied. Pierre frowned and said nothing. The reason why he retired early is because the people are extremely disgusted with him. His continued sitting in this position will only make the people feel worse for the Liberal Party, and it will be even more detrimental to the Liberal Party in the next general election. But this does not mean that he intends to open the general election ahead of schedule. In his original idea, he was to elect a capable person from the Liberal Party to take his place as prime minister. After he got down, the grievances of some people would naturally dissipate, and he would have a certain degree of patience and patience for the new prime minister. look forward to. As long as the new prime minister has made political achievements, the Liberal Party will be able to stop the decline, reverse the views of the people, and raise the support rate before holding a general election. I just didn''t expect Joseph Chretien to be so decisive! Joseph Chretien just took over the position of party leader. As long as he has not given up the position of prime minister to Joseph Chretien, he can still delay for a period of time to delay the election as much as possible. So he still has the ability to interfere. Is he just going to interfere or choose to cooperate with Joseph Chretien? This is a very critical question... The more he thinks, Pierre only feels the more confused his thoughts. He took a deep breath, looked directly at Joseph Chretien, and said, "Joseph, tell me all your reasons." "I hope you can convince me." Joseph Chretien leaned on the table with his hands crossed, looked at Pierre solemnly, was silent for a long time, reorganized his thoughts, and slowly said: "Joseph, now our Liberal Party is in power. All responsibilities are We assume that in addition to the original problems, there is now the biggest problem, that is, the Canadian financial market has reached the most dangerous moment." "And most of the Canadian banking consortium has now chosen to support the Progressive Liberal Party. For a series of previous reasons, the government has used almost the same in financial policy." "The government''s fiscal deficit is as high as 32.35 billion Canadian dollars, accounting for 7.6% of last year''s GDP, far exceeding the 3.7% average of capitalist countries. It can be said that, except for the United States, Canada has the highest fiscal deficit rate." "In the past few years, in order to stimulate the economy to get out of the quagmire, the government has issued large-scale bonds. The current national debt is as high as 196 billion Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to 46.6% of last year''s GDP. It has reached a very high level. We can no longer Debt is issued." "The government''s ability to intervene and control the financial market is extremely low." "Now that foreign capital is attacking Canada''s financial market, we can only watch from the sidelines. This is a manifestation of our incompetence." "If it succeeds and has a real record, the Progressive Conservative Party will take the credit in its hands. This will be a huge blow to our prestige." "If our financial market is looted, then the previously suppressed contradictions will erupt in an all-round way, and the people will only point the contradictions towards our current ruling party." "So our analysis, whether it is victory or defeat, is extremely unfavorable to us, especially the consequences of failure are more serious." "In my opinion, there is a high probability that we can''t support it!" After speaking in one breath, Joseph Chretien sighed and looked at Pierre, who was ugly. After listening to Joseph Chretien''s narration, after thinking about it, Pierre agreed with him in his heart. As the head of a country, standing high enough, he certainly knows what is happening in the financial market and the reasons behind it. He is very clear about the gap between the United States and Canada. Although Canada has the Lowhill family resisting with a group of local consortia, the strength is still much worse than that of the United States and international capital. The probability of failure is indeed relatively high, unless the Rohill family has a back hand. The Canadian government can actually do very little, unless it dares to temporarily shut down the financial system, directly set the table, causing heavy losses to international capital, but he dare not do this kind of thing, and no one in Canada dares to do it. That''s why the embarrassing situation now appears. As a government, it is now acting as a bystander. Put yourself in this position and think that if the Liberal Party is an opposition party, he is eager for international capital to win, so that he can hit the ruling party, and maybe it can complete the power seizure directly. As for the loss of Canada, it will only be considered after becoming the ruling party. But now, the ruling party is their Liberal Party, which is terrible. In fact, thinking of this, Pierre was basically convinced by Joseph Chretien. However, he was still worried and thought about it and asked a crucial question: "Joseph, now our Liberal Party¡¯s polls are far behind the Progressive Conservative Party. Even if you dissolve the Congress early for elections, how can you ensure that you can quickly reverse the people¡¯s situation? Views, get their support?" "If there are not enough options, it will be meaningless to start the elections in advance." "I have a way!" "But you need your cooperation, and you need to make sacrifices for the Liberal Party." Joseph Chretien said decisively. Pierre condensed his eyes and asked after a moment of silence, "What is the solution?" Joseph Chretien said in a cold voice: "We will announce to the whole society what has happened in the financial market, and at the same time we proactively announced that due to bank capital, the government''s ability to intervene and control the financial market is seriously insufficient, and then you Go back." "After I took over, one of the campaign slogans was to focus on the reform of the Canadian financial system, strengthen the government''s ability to control and intervene in the financial market, and consider the nationalization of some banks. "At that time, even if our financial market suffers heavy losses, then our responsibility will be reduced indefinitely, and the people will point the finger at private financial capital and at the Progressive Conservative Party." "We will come back!" Pierre stared at Joseph Chretien with sharp eyes like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "But Canada will suffer heavy losses, and my efforts over the past years will be destroyed." Joseph Chretien immediately retorted: "Pierre, but if we don¡¯t do this, the things you worry about will also happen with a high probability. Even if they don¡¯t happen, it has nothing to do with our Liberal Party. Your political property All will be taken over by the Progressive Conservative Party!" "Pierre, I hope you can support me and support the Liberal Party." "By doing this, although Canada will suffer heavy losses, we can severely damage the financial capital behind the Progressive Conservative Party and strengthen the strength of our Liberal Party." "At the same time, a series of bombs were detonated, giving us time and space to re-plan and develop." "In the next five, ten, or even twenty years, Canada will belong to our Liberal Party!" "The future is enough for us to regain prosperity in Canada!" Pierre was shocked looked at Joseph Chretien with a dumbfounded look. For the first time, he felt that his partner suddenly became strange. But this kind of strangeness, for the Liberal Party... "Great!" "I''m with you!" "For the Liberal Party!" "For a brand new Canada!" "Thank you, Pierre!" The two hands were tightly clasped together. ps: The second one is delivered, ask for a monthly pass v3 Chapter 1317: Win 2 companies Latest website: Pierre knew that his political career was almost gone, and while he was still in that position, he wanted to create greater value for the Liberal Party and helped Joseph Chretien. Not only did he agree to be the pot, but he was also willing to use his power to adjust some key positions in the government and Congress. The specific candidates were nominated by Joseph Chretien. This matter is destined to cause a lot of controversy and accusations, Joseph Chretien absolutely can not do it, so he came to carry this pot. After the secret conversation, Joseph Chretien returned to convene a think tank for discussion. ... As time passed, the bulls gradually showed signs of decline, and the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate fell to 0.8057. Many inadequate long hot funds broke their positions and suffered heavy losses. The bears continue to increase their offensive efforts, taking advantage of the victory to pursue. In this case, the battle for the Bell Seven in the United States finally came to an end. Polaris Capital Corporation has defeated many opponents, including the California consortium, and successfully acquired Pacific Bell. But it also paid 1.9 billion U.S. dollars. Compared with Pacific Bell¡¯s $1.3 billion valuation. The price is not high. Pacific Bell¡¯s inherited assets ranked fourth among the Bell¡¯s seven brothers, but its transaction price ranked third. But it doesn''t hurt to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more, the key is to get the company. The California consortium also operates telecommunications companies, so Pacific Bell is far less important to it than to Polaris Capital. This is why the California consortium¡¯s bid is not as high as Polaris Capital. Of course, in this way, in the western United States, Pacific Bell¡¯s biggest rival will also be a telecommunications company under the California consortium. In addition to winning the Pacific Bell Company. After a great battle, Polaris Capital also defeated TWA Group and won its subsidiary TWA. TWA once fought back fiercely, but Polaris Capital directly attacked TWA and was so scared that they could only survive by docking their tails and chose to abandon TWA in order to preserve the parent company TWA. Global Airlines still maintains its status as a listed company, with Polaris Capital holding a 76.8% stake. Fortunately, Polaris Capital¡¯s offensive was extremely fast, and TWA¡¯s business had problems leading to a downturn in its stock price, so the acquisition of this equity cost a total of US$143 million. It is worth mentioning that Polaris Capital has some outstanding achievements in the first half of the year. For example, the strategic acquisition of EDS, a US electronic data system company, was founded in 1962 and had a revenue of over US$800 million in 1983. Polaris Capital Corporation spent $1.375 billion to acquire a 53.7% stake in American Electronic Data Systems. Of course, most of the funds also come from banks and fund investors. ... "Boom!" "Come in!" Xia Yu, who was working in the office, said a word without looking up after hearing the knock on the door. When he felt that his steps were very close, he raised his head and asked his subordinates: "What''s the matter?" "Chairman, there is a lady named Sandy Mellon outside. She also brought a pair of bodyguards. She said it was your friend and wanted to visit you." Subordinates immediately reported respectfully. Xia Yu was in an accident. When did Xiandi come to Xiangjiang again, what did she do? He even found his company directly. "Hurry up and invite her in." Xia Yu told his subordinates. "Ok." The subordinate immediately responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xia Yu again. "and many more!" "I''ll go there by myself." With that, Xia Yu got up, straightened his clothes, and walked straight to the door, with his subordinates following behind, showing a lingering fear. really. When Xia Yu approached the reception room, he suddenly saw Sandy who was sitting on the sofa and visiting the door from time to time. Sandi also happened to see Xia Yu, and a moving smile appeared on her face for a moment, and she got up and walked towards Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, are you surprised to see me?" Sandy blinked her eyes and asked happily. "Of course, this is my biggest surprise during this time!" "Xiandi, you came to Xiangjiang, why didn''t you contact me in advance, I didn''t pick you up." Xia Yu said with a smile. Approached to hug Sandi lightly, and then separated. "If I told you in advance, would you still be surprised?" Sandy asked with a smile. "Of course, if you told me yesterday, I will not only be pleasantly surprised, but I will always look forward to it. I have no thoughts about work." Xia Yu said seriously. "Puff chuff~" Xiandi was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes were crescent, and her white face was blushing. The exhaustion of flying on the plane for a long time was wiped out, and she only felt warm all over her body. "I''m so happy." She said happily. "Ha ha¡­¡­" Xia Yu also laughed. "Would you like to go to my office?" After laughing, Xia Yu asked Xiandi. "Of course, I''ve been to your house, but I haven''t been to where you work. I''m a little curious about what your office looks like." Sandi tapped her head lightly, her tone of voice was clever and cheerful. "Come on, come with me." "Hmm!" Soon, Xia Yu took Sandi to his office, and Sandi''s two bodyguards took a short break in the waiting room next door. As soon as she came in, Sandy looked around, seeing Sandy''s curious appearance, Xia Yu smiled knowingly, and then made tea. Sandy would like to drink tea, this is what she learned from Xia Yu. Just a while ago, Kyushu Industrial Group bought some top-quality tea and sent him. At the same time, Director Liu also visited him once and brought him the rare Mingqian Longjing, and part of it was produced in eighteen imperial tea trees. . For ordinary people, Xia Yu would not take out the tea leaves of the tea tree, so Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were lucky enough to drink it. However, Xia Yu must be willing to say Sandy. Xia Yu¡¯s office is very spacious, with top calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, various porcelains from the Song and Yuan dynasties are also used for decoration. The tea table is made of yellow rosewood, and the tea set is a complete set of tea cups from the Song Dynasty. And a purple clay pot carefully crafted by Gu Jingzhou. For Xia Yu, the antique cultural relics in this office, if they are placed in later generations, are worth at least one billion yuan. Every time a guest comes in, he shouts Xia Yu''s extravagance. However, Xia Yu saw it very openly. He didn''t lack these things. If the museum wants to exhibit, he still has to use it. He has no shortage of money. These things can add a bit of fun to his life and are more valuable. "Sandy, come over and drink tea." After making the tea, Xia Yu saw that Xiandi was admiring Xu Beihong''s "Six Horses", he chuckled and called. "Six Horses" is the largest picture of a horse drawn by Xu Beihong. The "Eight Horses" that was hotly speculated on the Internet in the previous life does not actually exist, and the "Six Horses" is also missing, but this life has been affected by Xia Yu got it, and this painting is also deeply loved by him, otherwise it would not hang in the middle of the office. "Ok." Sandy replied softly, walking to the sofa and sitting down. "Sandy, is there anything you are coming to Xiangjiang this time?" After Sandi took a sip of tea, Xia Yu asked with a light smile. "Hmm." "Guess how long I will stay in Xiangjiang?" After Sandi nodded lightly, she looked at Xia Yu with a smile and asked. If you ask this, it will definitely not be short. Xia Yu smiled even more, and he guessed cooperatively: "Are you going to stay in Xiangjiang for a month?" Cindy pursed her mouth and shook her head Xia Yu guessed again: "Could it be three months?" Sandy still shook her head with a smile. Xia Yu raised his brows and said with a smile: "It won''t be half a year, right?" "Hehe, you haven''t guessed it right yet." Sandy couldn''t help laughing, very happy. "Well, let me tell you, I can stay as long as I want to stay in Xiangjiang." After Sandi finished speaking, she looked at Xia Yu with flickering eyes, especially when she saw the surprise that Xia Yu subconsciously revealed, her heart of joy became more and more intense. PS: There are important guests coming to my house tonight. If I did not update the second chapter before 11 o''clock, then this one will be updated today. If there is a second update, it will be updated before 11 o''clock, thank you! v3 Chapter 1318: Harris Rohill Latest URL: At this moment, Xia Yu''s mind flashed, and he asked: "Are you going to be responsible for the aluminum company?" Xiandi was stunned, she didn''t expect Xia Yu to guess it. She smiled and lightly touched Zhenshou and said: "Yes, I took the initiative to propose to my dad that I want to come here to exercise. Now I am the vice president of the aluminum company." "Get to know again, I''m Sandy, your partner." Looking at Sandy''s outstretched jade hand, Xia Yu smiled freely, holding Sandy''s hand, and a voice full of magnetism sounded: "Sandy, please give me more advice in the future!" "Hee hee~" Sandy laughed happily. ... Alcoa''s branch in mainland China still has its registered name as Alcoa. Before Sandy came, it had been negotiated and was under construction. The Gulf Oil Company that Xia Yu talked to Richard King Mellon has actually been completed. Pacific Petroleum¡¯s transaction with Gulf Oil Company is as high as US$820 million, and it also has to bear US$1.19 billion in debt. And Pacific Petroleum acquired the entire business of Gulf Petroleum in repairing and northern Europe. The business is relatively large, mainly divided into three major segments, namely, three oil refineries, two lubricating oil blending plants, and terminal gas stations. The three major refineries are Italy''s Bertorio refinery, with a processing capacity of 4 million tons per year. The Eulaubert Refinery in the Netherlands, with a processing capacity of 3.75 million tons per year. The Danish seapeng oil refinery has a processing capacity of 4.25 million tons per year. The three refineries together can refine 12 million tons per year. As far as this capacity is concerned, Pacific Oil Company can definitely be regarded as the top oil company in Europe. The two lubricant blending plants are located in Belgium and Sweden. There are 1,500 gas stations, all located in Western Europe. The 1,525 gas stations in Northern Europe were sold to Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation twice last year by Gulf Oil Company, which is also a pity. Acquiring these businesses of Gulf Oil Company, the number of employees of Pacific Oil Company surged by 32,400 people next time. Of course, the most important thing is to obtain a complete system and refining technology. In addition to the oil fields previously hoarded by Pacific Petroleum, it can be said that all the industrial chains of the oil industry have been opened up. This is the most commendable. At present, Pacific Petroleum''s energy is still focused on digestion and integration. As long as the company stabilizes, it will begin to expand. The arrival of Sandy has added a lot of color to Xia Yu''s life, but because of work, Sandy spends at least half of the week in the mainland. Two flowers bloom, one on each table. After the Liberal Party changed its leader, the situation in Canada has undergone tremendous changes. The first is the political situation. Pierre used two weeks to change government and parliament positions without regard to influence. This put tremendous pressure on the Progressive Conservative Party. The Progressive Conservative Party controlled newspapers such as the Ottawa Gazette and the Canadian Gazette. Criticizing Pierre and the Liberal Party has caused the Liberal Party¡¯s polls to drop a lot. But Pierre didn''t care at all, and still went his own way. At the end of the two weeks, Pierre surrendered the position of prime minister to Joseph Chretien. On May 19, Joseph Chretien was sworn in. Only two days after taking office, Joseph Chretien immediately asked Governor Jeanne Sauve to dissolve the parliament, and a general election was scheduled for June 30, 1984. Prior to this, Joseph Chretien and others kept the news strictly confidential. At this time, the news was announced abruptly, like a thunder on the ground, shocking the entire Canadian political arena. Rao, Martin Bryan of the Progressive Liberal Party had already prepared for the general election very early, and was completely disrupted by this unexpected news. Governor Jeanne Sauvet would definitely agree to Joseph Chretien''s request. This is just a formality. So this means that there are only 41 days left for election campaigns for all parties! Martin Bryan urgently summoned the senior leaders of the Progressive Conservative Party to discuss, and then went to visit Harris Lowhill in the evening, hoping that the Rohill family would give their full support. At this time, under the fierce attack of the bears, the bulls headed by the Rohill family were losing ground. The Canadian dollar against the US dollar exchange rate fell all the way, directly hitting the 0.8 point mark, and the lowest fell to 0.7931. Many bulls have been liquidated, further weakening the strength of the bulls. The exchange rate fell successively, causing capital to start to flee, and the Canadian stock market was forced to start a plunge mode. The Toronto 300 Index has fallen from 2440 to around 2,300. The influence of the Canadian financial market has finally spread to the Canadian people. Canada''s high unemployment rate and other problems have always existed, but there is still a rising stock market to suppress. But as the last protective cover began to break, the grievances of the Canadian people finally began to erupt. The Progressive Liberal Party started very quickly. The "Ottawa Bulletin" immediately bombarded the Liberal Party cabinet, slammed the Liberal Party, and criticized the Liberal Party''s unfavorable governance, which led to the imbalance of Canadian financial market development and was attacked by foreign capital. It also reported Martin Bryan¡¯s words that if he succeeds in being elected prime minister, he will reform the Canadian financial system as soon as possible. The speed of this bite bite was not unpleasant, and Xia Yu who was far away in Xiangjiang was amazed. It''s no wonder that Martin Bryan was able to defeat the Liberal Party in his previous life, and it lasted for two ten years. It can be seen that Martin Bryan''s political sense and ability are extremely strong. But no matter how strong he is, in this life for their own interests and to severely damage the Rohill family, Martin Bryan and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada must fail! quickly. Only one day later. Joseph Chretien held a large press conference at the Canadian government venue. He first listed the series of efforts made by the Liberal government in the past few years to stimulate the Canadian economy to get out of the quagmire, and took all the credit, and then strongly accused Martin Bryan of irresponsible dumping. The Liberal government We have tried our best to make a series of efforts for international capital to attack the Canadian exchange rate market. However, it is precisely because the government''s control of banks is not strong, and the domestic and foreign banks in Canada are guilty of violations, that has led to the current financial systemic crisis. Finally, he announced that in order to deal with this crisis and to defeat international capital, he had come up with a practical plan with the think tank. That is to prepare for the nationalization reform of some large private Canadian banks in order to strengthen the government''s ability to control and intervene in the financial sector. After the press conference, this hot news spread throughout Canada''s financial sector in just half an hour, as well as abroad. The most upset is none other than the major banks in Canada! Harris Rohill bears the brunt!

Under the call of Harris Rohill, the back-scenes controllers of the major banks of the same camp gathered in his home. The Canadian banking industry is not like Xiangjiang. In a small place in Xiangjiang, there are hundreds of banks. But Canada is different, all the banks in Canada combined are not as many as Xiangjiang. Among all banks in Canada, the six largest banks account for more than 90% of the market share of domestic banks. From strong to weak are: First, Royal Bank of Canada, with bank assets of US$73.188 billion, ranked 17th in the world. Second, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, with bank assets of US$62.48 billion, ranks 30th in the world. Third, the Bank of Montreal, with bank assets of 57.73 billion U.S. dollars, ranked 34th in the world. Fourth, Scotiabank of Canada, with bank assets of 48.745 billion US dollars, ranked 52nd in the world. Fifth, Toronto-Dominion Bank, with bank assets of US$42.45 billion, ranks 76th in the world. Sixth, the National Bank of Canada, with bank assets of US$32.72 billion, ranked 112th in the world. The six major banks are all private banks, and none of them are state-controlled. This shows the influence of the Canadian capital consortium. In fact, there are only four bank consortia supported by the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, namely Royal Bank of Canada, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Montreal and Toronto-Dominion Bank. The other Scotiabank and the National Bank of Canada are not as close to the Progressive Conservative Party as the other four, but they have the same relationship with the Liberal Party, which can be regarded as a neutral position. Only this time, the Liberal Party did not inform them at all, and directly announced that it would nationalize some large state-owned banks, which scared the heads of Scotiabank and National Bank of Canada. There is no doubt that the only major banks in Canada that can achieve the goals of the Liberal Party are these six. Before this crisis, these two banks took the initiative to unite with the other four banks. Other banks also know that they must unite all forces to resist, so the representatives behind these six banks come together to see Harris Roshir. "Harris, now we are facing the biggest crisis in history. The Liberal Party is crazy. The Liberal Party must step down, and we must completely suppress them, otherwise we will have trouble." The speaker was the second largest shareholder of Royal Bank of Canada-Anderson Sfield, a sixty-five-year-old man, the patriarch of the Sfield family. He is the one with the greatest pressure. After all, Royal Bank of Canada is the leader of the banking industry and is the easiest target for nationalization. "Yes, Joseph Chretien is a lunatic. If he comes to power, it will be our nightmare!" "What happened in France must not appear in Canada." Joyce Gracie, the second-largest shareholder of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, said with a sigh. He said something out of the ordinary and made Harris Rohill''s face slightly changed. He was reminding Harris Rohill that France had nationalized the Rohill family bank. That is to say, he dare to say that, besides he is the patriarch of the Gracie family, among those present, he has the deepest friendship with Harris Lowhill, because the biggest behind-the-scenes shareholder of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is surprisingly Harris. ¡¤ Rohill. ... Others also spoke, and the living room suddenly seemed a little noisy. "Don''t worry, everyone, we actually still have time." At this time, Aubrey Demarais, the patriarch of the Demarais family, said in a hurry that everyone calmed down. The Demarais family is the strongest family in Canada, and it hasn''t done too much with the Rohill family, and it is also one of the main bulls today. The Bauer Company under the Demarais family is a financial consortium with the title of "Canadian Morgan". There are hundreds of companies under the consortium. In addition to holding the most equity in Royal Bank of Canada, there is also one of Canada¡¯s three largest insurance companies. Great Northwest Life Insurance Company. In Canada, Aubrey Demarais has a very special relationship with Harris Lowhill. The two are the biggest competitors and the closest collaborators at critical moments. In normal times, the two fight fiercely, but like now they are facing the invasion of American capital, they are standing on the united front and jointly resisting foreign capital. "Harris, you have been silent, what do you think?" Aubrey Demarais looked at Harris Lowhill and said. The eyes of the others were all on Harris Rohill. "My attitude is very clear. The Liberal Party must be reduced to an opposition party. Joseph Chretien is looking for death!" Harris Rosier said with a cold snort, his eyes extremely cold. "You mean, find someone to kill the unruly lunatic Joseph Chretien?" Aubrey Demarais raised his brows slightly and said lightly. The others were energetic, all around the corner, and no one wanted to object. "Do not rule out this possibility!" "Canada will never allow this precedent to be opened!" Harris Lowhill nodded slightly. but¡­¡­" As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his mind and continued: "For the time being, it can be listed as a backup plan. After all, once this is done, there will be uncontrollable risks, especially in this critical period." Aubrey Demarais and others nodded in agreement. Now they are still fighting against foreign capital, and they are still at a disadvantage. They killed Joseph Chretien, maybe ordinary people don''t know it, but the Rockefeller, Morgan, Chicago and other consortia and families are absolutely clear that if they are deliberately guided, it is easy to get burnt. It''s normal, and there is time to calm and transfer it, but if the fire comes over at this time, it will be troublesome. It is easy to be attacked by foreign capital into Canada and be looted wantonly. Of course, if it is really extremely dangerous, then you can only take the risk. After all, if you don''t resist, the bank will be nationalized. Even if the Canadian government has compensation, what is the use of holding junk bonds? By that time, would end up worse than being ransacked by foreign capital. "Then you mean to prevent the passage of this type of bill and to oust the Liberal Party during the general election?" Aubrey DeMarre thought for a while, then said slowly. Harris Lowhill nodded slightly: "Yes, there are less than forty days before the general election. The time is very tight for a bill to be drafted and passed." "Although the Liberal Party now controls Congress, we can be temporarily safe as long as we make trouble and delay it." "The Liberal Party''s polls and support rate are far behind that of the Progressive Conservative Party. As long as the status quo is maintained, the Progressive Conservative Party will succeed in coming to power, and the crisis will automatically be lifted at that time." Aubrey Demarais was silent for a moment, but said quietly: "But now after Joseph Chretien announces the news, the polls are hard to say..." PS: Ask for a monthly ticket v3 Chapter 1320: Roshirs plan to draw a salary from the bottom Latest website: Everyone is an elite boss. When Aubrey Demarais said this, everyone was silent. Martin Bryan of the Progressive Conservative Party pours dirty water on the Liberal Party and criticizes the Liberal Party''s government for its unfavorable financial policy. But now after Joseph Chretien''s press conference is over, the dirty water can''t get on him. Because he had already expressed his determination, Martin Bryan''s lie was directly torn apart. As a result, the approval ratings of the Liberal Party and Joseph Chretien are likely to rise sharply. This is something they don''t want to see. The Liberal Party must step down, and must fail in the next month''s general election and become an opposition party. Harris Roshir said in a deep voice: "In the next month or so, we all need to work together to support the Progressive Conservative Party and fight the Liberal Party." "Martin Bryan''s ability is very strong, we have given him enough support, it should be enough for him to continue to maintain the advantage." "As for ourselves, there are more important things to do." Aubrey Harris thought for a moment, and slightly nodded in agreement with Harris Lowhill''s opinion. "We assist with political matters, and leave the rest to the Progressive Liberal Party." "But we must solve the biggest crisis ourselves. The offensive of foreign capital is getting stronger and stronger. Our strength is constantly weakening. The situation must change, otherwise we will all be finished!" "Not to mention the actual loss of interests, the invasion of Canada by foreign capital will definitely cause social unrest and will have a chain reaction. It is very likely that the approval rate of the Liberal Party will soar or even overtake. "If the Liberal Party wins the election and continues to govern, we will be hit twice, lose the bank, and we will be drained of blood." "Oh, no, I still have the support of Northwest Life Insurance Company, and I can hold it for the time being, and you..." Speaking of this, Aubrey Demarais did not continue. But from the darkened faces of everyone, it can be seen that their mentality has changed. "I believe that everyone still has resources to mobilize. The reason why they are not used is because they have not found a strong counterattack and an opportunity to reverse the situation in one fell swoop." "If we can''t reverse the situation, even if resources are invested, we will lose our final resistance later. This risk is too great." Andre Sfield''s old voice sounded, expressing everyone''s concerns. "Andre is right. Now the advantage of short positions is getting bigger and bigger. Everyone is accumulating strength and letting the exchange rate drop even lower without touching the liquidation line. This can increase the cost of short positions. Reduce our cost of receiving orders." "Everyone wants to fight back, but now we are short of a chance." "Time is so tight, hey..." ... Everyone was suffocating in their hearts, and they began to drink. Although the ground is messy, but the core of the semantics is that the counterattack fighter has not yet appeared. All resources are invested in, and it may not be able to make a comeback. If the comeback fails, the ability to resist will be completely lost. This risk is too great! "What if I can weaken the power of the bears?" At this moment, Harris Roshir said with awe-inspiring eyes. In an instant, everyone calmed down and looked at him with gazes. "Harris, what can you do?" "How strong can it be weakened?" After a few seconds of silence, Joyce Gracie hurriedly asked. "I also just found an opportunity. If done properly, I can withdraw all the funds of the Chicago Consortium!" As soon as Harris Rohill said this, everyone was refreshed. "really?" "What is the opportunity?" Even Aubrey Demarais was shocked, he didn''t want to put on the air, and asked directly. Don''t blame him for being so nervous. It is only because if Harris Rohill can really get the funds of the Chicago Consortium back, it will be enough to reverse the offensive and defensive trend! Although the composition of short positions is now extremely complicated, the biggest main force is still the four major banks of the Chicago Consortium and many financial companies. The biggest main force of the Chicago Consortium has withdrawn. In a short period of time, it is difficult for the bears to organize their forces. This is the best chance to comeback! However, when faced with Aubrey DeMarre¡¯s question, Harris Lowhill did not immediately answer, but said more enticing words: ¡°The impact is more than that. If it is done well, it can also make the United States. The capital also shrank part of its power." "Harris, just say it quickly, everyone can''t help it." Joyce Gracie urged impatiently. The corner of Harris Lowhill''s mouth raised slightly, and he slowly said, "That is to completely detonate the crisis of the Continental Bank of Illinois, and let the Continental Bank of Illinois suffer a run!" Aubrey Demarais stared, and after thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and nodded and said, "Harris, your method is extremely maneuverable, you can definitely try it!" The reason for saying this is that Aubrey Demarais thought of the peculiarities of the Continental Bank of Illinois. It can be said that among the four major banks of the Chicago Consortium, that is, the Continental Bank of Illinois, there is a possibility of being planned. This method poses little threat to the other three major banks. It is not that the other three major banks have no hidden crises, but that they want these three major banks to break out of crisis, and it will be fatal in a short time, which is almost impossible to achieve. But just switch to the Continental Bank of Illinois. The key lies in two points. One is the business model of the Continental Bank of Illinois, which involves the laws of Illinois. Illinois is a state that implements the "single bank system", that is, banks are not allowed to set up branches in the state. Even after the Bank of Illinois on the mainland builds a new bank building, it must build a cross-street bridge in downtown Chicago to connect the two buildings of the head office. , In order to be regarded as the same building legally, this is a typical act of taking off the pants and farting. But it is precisely because the law of Illinois does not allow the establishment of branches, the mainland bank of Illinois is the bank with the most funded associations in the United States. Most of the funds of the Continental Bank of Illinois were borrowed from other banks, or commercial papers were issued through a holding company, and then transferred to the Continental Bank of Illinois. The other three banks of the Chicago Consortium are also the top three banks with the closest and largest capital business to the mainland Illinois Bank. Of the more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in deposits in mainland Illinois Bank, more than 90% are deposits by foreigners without deposit insurance, and deposits far exceeding the protection limit of 100,000 U.S. dollars. In the United States, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation does not provide insurance for deposits exceeding $100,000. So if the Continental Bank of Illinois is exposed to the risk of bankruptcy, it will definitely suffer the most serious run, because the 10% of depositors¡¯ funds are not insured, and the bank of Continental Illinois will lose money if it goes bankrupt! The reason why the Mainland Bank of Illinois can operate in this business model is that its interest rate is higher. Of course, the bank''s management capabilities are also extremely strong, and the capital utilization rate and turnover rate are also extremely high. It is precisely because of this situation that the Continental Bank of Illinois, which ranks as the seventh largest bank in the United States, is the largest commercial lending bank in the United States. The second reason is the crisis encountered by the Bank of Illinois in Mainland China the year before. In 1982, the Bank of Bourne Plaza, which lends the most, went bankrupt, and the Mainland Bank of Illinois held US$1.3 billion in loan bonds, which led to its involvement. Of course The more serious problem is that it is caught in the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, which has been affected again, making the credit portfolio of the Mainland Bank of Illinois a higher-risk business, which indirectly increases its financing cost and credit It has dropped a lot. That is, the Chicago consortium secured Moody''s, one of the world''s three largest rating agencies, and continued to give the mainland bank of Illinois holding company AAA long-term debt evaluation, which fooled most people. The loopholes have always existed, but no one in the United States is going to deal with it. After all, the collapse of the Mainland Bank of Illinois will cause financial systemic risks. According to US law, other banks cannot stand by. Those in the United States who have the ability to engage in mainland Illinois banks will not do it, and ordinary people who are incapable will not be able to find out or do it. But if it is replaced by Harris Rohill who is desperate, there is still no problem... This is a draw from the bottom of the thirty-six plan! PS: I still worked overtime today, and the meeting was held for a day, so the update was late, some typos, please catch the bugs, I will change it back later, now I will write the second update quickly v3 Chapter 1321: Panic Continental Bank Latest website: This plan is only difficult to act, but Harris Rohill can arrange it alone. That night, he took the initiative to say that he would do his best to do this, while others would integrate their reserve funds as soon as possible and prepare to seize the opportunity to counterattack! Time is running out. After everyone left, Harris Rohill immediately called the family headquarters in London to apply for the use of global financial media resources. On the early morning of May 23, a large number of experts from financial newspapers commented on the hidden financial problems and risks of the Bank of Illinois in the United States outside the United States, especially in Europe, island countries, and Australia. The reason why he did not report in the United States is because Harris Rohill wanted to hit the key to the mainland Illinois Bank, and did not want to leak the news in the United States in advance, so that the Chicago consortium would be prepared. Because most of the funds of the Mainland Bank of Illinois come from short-term high-interest deposits from foreign financial institutions, as well as overseas private deposits. The Continental Bank of Illinois in the United States has only one headquarters and two buildings. It is not the kind of community bank that blooms everywhere. So even if the crisis breaks out, there will be no such situation where angry customers line up outside waiting for withdrawals. These international financial institutions do not need to withdraw funds, and can process them electronically at the first time, and refuse to automatically roll their short-term deposits in the mainland Illinois Bank. This refusal is actually equivalent to freezing the funds first, and then it is not too late to raise them. Of course, to freeze in disguise, it is also necessary for mainland Illinois Bank to have money inside. If you can''t figure it out within a few days, it''s over! So this still has to compete for speed, first can ensure the safety of funds! After the exposure of the financial media outside the United States, it immediately caused a shock in the international financial market. In particular, the international banks that have deposit business in the Illinois Bank of the Mainland have convened emergency meetings one after another to discuss whether to actively default, give up deposit profits and pay a small amount of liquidated damages to withdraw deposits. Of course, there are some who do not need to negotiate and withdraw funds to the Mainland Bank of Illinois as soon as possible. For example, Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom applied for a withdrawal of a short-term deposit of US$190 million in the Bank of Illinois on the mainland. The Austrian Central Cooperative Bank¡¯s short-term deposit of US$140 million in the Mainland Bank of Illinois also applied for withdrawal. Several other banks controlled by the Rohill family also applied to withdraw their deposits as soon as possible. Add up to a total of 490 million US dollars! News from abroad quickly spread back to the United States. When Chairman and President James McCormick was frightened and was about to convene a meeting with senior executives, many European banks refused to roll over funds, and the amount of up to 490 million US dollars followed closely. Happened later. James McCormick only felt his scalp numb, and he almost ran into the conference room. The information processing departments and offices of the Continental Bank of Illinois are busy. On the morning of May 23, Chicago, Headquarters of the Continental Bank of Illinois. The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely depressing. Everyone sitting in there was solemn. No one took the initiative to speak. They all lowered their heads and looked at the materials handed out. When the last person came in. "Bump!" James McCormick ignored his image and patted the table, drawing everyone''s attention to himself. He stood up, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, his face was very dignified, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has read the information. Our bank has encountered a huge crisis. This is an enemy''s conspiracy, and the enemy is very powerful!" "Barclays Bank, Central Savings Bank of Austria, etc., the first batch of banks that applied to stop the automatic rolling of funds, and actively defaulted on the agreement to apply for withdrawal, all have a common controller behind the scenes-the Rohill family!" "Now, the Canadian branch of the Lowhill family is currently fighting fiercely with us in the Canadian financial market." "The reason is clear, because the bulls in the Canadian foreign exchange market are almost unsupported." "Their purpose is also very clear, trying to use this method to break our capital chain, forcing us to take the initiative to withdraw funds!" "Although the crisis has just occurred, the enemy''s attacks are very fierce. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 67 media outlets around the world are known to spread rumors against our bank!" "Call everyone to a meeting urgently, and the theme of the meeting is one to solve this crisis!" "What can you do?" James McCormick finished speaking in one breath, sat down again, took a sip from the cup, panted, and looked expectantly at everyone present. "Chairman, we must immediately arrange for someone to take the initiative to call those customers with deposits of more than 10 million U.S. dollars, explain the reasons clearly to them, and reassure them as much as possible, and we must not let this panic expand rapidly." "The Lowhill family¡¯s business in our bank is only 490 million US dollars. Their behavior is to set fire. As long as we sustain the first wave of the Rohill family¡¯s offensive, then with the amount of funds in our bank, we can do nothing. Withdraw funds from the Canadian foreign exchange market." A vice president named Patton Armstrong immediately expressed his opinion. "I agree with the opinion of Vice President Armstrong. The crisis has just arrived. We can''t panic. It is not enough to withdraw funds from the Canadian foreign exchange market. At present, the Canadian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar has fallen to about 0.7868 points. The downside is huge profits." "If we take the initiative to withdraw funds, then the purpose of the Rohill family will be achieved, and our amount of funds is too large, and if it is delivered urgently, the delivery price will be at a loss." "And our withdrawal of funds will be infinitely magnified, and international institutions will think that there is a real problem with our capital chain, so they will make this unwise behavior. Another vice president, Jones Clark, said clearly. "Withdrawing funds is the last step. I also think that the most important thing now is to immediately contact major customers, appease them, and ask them for support." "If necessary can temporarily promise to increase interest rates." An executive said immediately. But another executive immediately retorted: "The act of increasing interest rates is not desirable. This will only make big customers think that our funds are really problematic, so they will take this special behavior." Another executive made a key suggestion: "I suggest to immediately apply for help from the supervisory authority, and request a public statement from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to let the government endorse our bank!" "If our bank really went bankrupt and went bankrupt, it would definitely be enough to cause an outbreak of financial risks across the United States, and the government will never allow this to happen!" "I agree!" "I also agree. I suggest using personal connections to let the three major rating agencies, Standard & Poor''s, Moody''s and Fitch, come forward to guarantee us and crush all rumors!" v3 Chapter 1322: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Backstab Latest website: The crisis facing the Illinois Bank of the Mainland is not only unwilling to see the US government, but even the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums are unwilling to see it. So after the James McCormick event, other bigwigs also helped behind. At noon that day, the main U.S. regulatory agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, held a press conference. The person in charge, Todd Conoville, publicly stated that it had no reason to question the repayment ability of the Continental Bank of Illinois. In the afternoon of the same day, Moody''s, one of the world''s three major rating agencies, once again issued a rating for the Mainland Bank of Illinois, which was still AAA. The two rounds of bombings really allowed foreign financial institutions to stabilize some of their confidence. But by the end of the day, there are still as many as 16 banks applying for withdrawal of deposits, with a total of 1.06 billion US dollars in funds. Harris Rohill, of course, would not be reconciled when he saw this. He continued to manipulate the media behind the scenes to report the news of the mainland Bank of Illinois, and was no longer limited to the financial media, but expanded to other news media. In these news, it was also pointed out that some banks have deposits in the Illinois Bank of the Mainland, and there is a risk of loss. He wanted to use this method to force other banks to withdraw funds, so as to save himself from possible troubles. In addition, he also used other methods. As a result, after he went to work on May 24, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange raised 50 million U.S. dollars from his account in the Mainland Bank of Illinois! The Chicago Mercantile Exchange itself is an established large-scale futures exchange, where domestic and foreign financial companies gather together, and it has the influence of a weather vane. In addition, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is a loyal and old customer of the Continental Bank of Illinois, and the relationship between the two is very close, and the former should be the most clear about the latter. When it chose to propose 50 million U.S. dollars, the news could not be hidden at all, and it spread all over the commodity exchange in an instant. The heads of all financial institutions have scalp numb and realize that the problem has become more serious. The biggest response was James McCormick! When he heard the news, he jumped up from his seat, as if there was a fire under his buttocks. In the face of facts, the assurances of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Moody''s proofs also appear vague and weak. On the same day, mainland Illinois Bank''s overseas customers made a large number of withdrawals, and the amount of applications in one day was as high as 1.57 billion US dollars! Adding yesterday¡¯s, a total of $2.63 billion in funds stopped rolling or was withdrawn in two days. Mainland Illinois Bank''s liquidity is about to be emptied, and only less than 50 million U.S. dollars are left, and this still weighs on the 780 million U.S. dollar withdrawal request that has not been approved. James McCormick didn''t dare to approve it at all, because it was approved and he couldn''t afford to pay. At this time, holding down the application is the best way. He immediately called Fed Chairman Volcker, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Ishak, and Director of the Financial Institutions Inspectorate Connova. The three were all nervous after receiving the news and immediately called their subordinates to discuss countermeasures. And James McCormick did not give up on self-help. That night, the patriarchs of the four major families of the Chicago Consortium gathered again. "James, what is going on?" As soon as he sat down, Kirsten Wood hurriedly asked. James McCormick did not conceal the situation and informed the three of them. After speaking, he immediately said anxiously: "We must make a decision right away!" "The situation will be worse tomorrow. It is very likely that the amount of withdrawal applications will exceed 2 billion US dollars, or even more!" Walker Krone nodded solemnly: "Yes, we must give up." "The Continental Bank of Illinois cannot fall. Our four banks have close business ties. If the Continental Bank of Illinois falls, our other three banks will also be at the core of the storm, and there will also be a risk of bankruptcy." "The bank must not have any problems. If there is a problem, all of our companies will be unlucky!" Simmons Amo said with a sad expression on his face. The four major banks are the financial core of the Chicago consortium, linking all the companies of the consortium. Each company is a customer of the Big Four banks. Not only does the cash flow go through the Big Four banks, but there is also a large amount of loan business in the Big Four banks. The collateral is the company''s equity. If the four major banks went bankrupt or were taken over, it would be equivalent to the entire Chicago consortium being taken over. Unless the company''s loan relationship with the bank is interrupted in advance. However, you have to have money too! Now the four of them have taken money from other companies, and the total amount has reached 8.3 billion U.S. dollars. Now the capital chain of each company is tight. Even if all of the 8.3 billion U.S. dollars were paid back, it would not be enough for the major companies to repay the loans. It would be nice to keep a portion of it. "Let''s not hesitate. Although James has applied for help from the Federal Reserve, the Federal Insurance and the government, the efficiency will be slower." "Even if they choose to help, the funds are not free, and the amount is still unknown." "Let''s give up attacking the Canadian foreign exchange market. We have completely withdrawn. Not only the four major banks and other financial companies, but also our own private investment funds are also withdrawn." "At the current Canadian dollar exchange rate, we have actually made a lot of money, which can be used to ease the crisis." "Of course, we''d better surrender to the Rohill family and ask them to stop their attack on the mainland bank of Illinois." Keston Wood sighed and proposed decisively. "But they will seize the opportunity to pressure our prices, and we will make at least $200 million less!" Simmons Amo smacked his lips and shook his head. This is foreseeable. Clearance delivery, if it is delivered with several major Canadian banks and related financial institutions, it will definitely be the most deadly under pressure. And if you trade with other newly entered hot money, then it may be better, but there will be big problems in time and efficiency. After all, there are too few powerful big hot money. Just the four major banks and related financial institutions plus the funds invested by them privately, up to more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, this batch of contracts is too large, and there is not much strength to eat. . "We have no choice. If we surrender to the Roshir family, evacuate in all directions, and even help short-term, the Roshir family should be willing to give up and continue to attack us." "After all, we have withdrawn, and there is no direct conflict of interest with them." As soon as Kirston Wood finished speaking, Simmons Amo said: ¡°No, if the crisis of the Continental Bank of Illinois expands, it can definitely contain the funds and power of other major domestic banks. This is an indirect weakening of the short-term reserve force , It is extremely beneficial to these bulls, they may not let us go." "Forget it, give it a try, if they don''t want to, then forget it." At this time, James McCormick finally expressed his attitude. The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Let¡¯s start tonight, let¡¯s negotiate first." v3 Chapter 1323: Received the Air Force banner Latest URL: On May 25, the blue sky was like washing, the sun was especially bright, and the temperature in Xiangjiang was as high as 34 degrees Celsius. In the afternoon, Xia Yu simply relaxes in his own separate villa. There is a swimming pool of hundreds of square meters in the backyard of the villa. Xia Yu is wearing sunglasses and only a pair of beach pants, lying on a beach chair by the pool, basking in the sun. In the swimming pool, two mermaids were playing, Xia Yu smiled and watched with gusto. Both Sandy and Li Qian wore very refreshing and attractive bikinis. Li Qian was so proud that she couldn''t hide it, while Sandy wore even more tempting. At this moment, seemingly tired of playing, Sandy took the lead out of the water, walked towards Xia Yu, and sat on the beach chair next to Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, can you paint me some olive oil?" Xiandi turned her head slightly to look at Xia Yu, blinked and asked. Xia Yu smiled and said with a light smile: "Of course, beautiful lady." After speaking, Xia Yu got up, squeezed out a large ball of olive oil, and began to smear Sandy. After Xia Yu finished smearing Xiandi with almost no dead ends, Li Qian just came up, and Xia Yu treated Li Qian equally and smeared Li Qian as well. Because I was so careful, it took more than ten minutes to perform the operation. The three of them lay on the beach chairs with the sun, and Sandi and Li Qian lay on either side of Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, mainland Illinois Bank is in big trouble, will it affect the situation in Canada?" When Xia Yu smeared Li Qian with olive oil, Sandy picked up the information on the table next to him boringly and looked at it. It was a special news from Jiuding News Agency, which rewritten the news of the Mainland Bank of Illinois. Sandy knew that Xia Yu was conspiring with her father in Canada, and they were shorting the Canadian dollar exchange rate. After seeing the news, she would inevitably be a little worried. Xia Yu glanced at the information in Sandy''s hand, and said with a faint smile: "There will definitely be an impact. This matter is controlled by the Rohill family behind the scenes. The purpose is to make the Chicago Consortium completely defeated." "I believe that two days from next tomorrow, the Chicago Consortium will withdraw all the funds, and then it will be time for them to counterattack." "Isn''t this bad for you?" Sandy suddenly became nervous. She didn''t want to see Xia Yu and her father fail. "Don''t worry, the Rothschild family can''t turn it over, everything is under my control!" "If the Chicago Consortium other than them is the biggest main force, it would be a big mistake..." Xia Yu took Xiandi''s smooth jade hand, stroked it lightly, and said calmly. Xia Yu smiled at the corner of her mouth, with a confident appearance and full of charm, and Xiandi couldn''t help being a little surprised. ... The Illinois Bank of the mainland is about to fall. Naturally, Xia Yu is eager to happen. Of course, he also knows that it is difficult. The US government will not want it, and neither will the Morgan Consortium. Xia Yu knew that the Mainland Bank of Illinois was the main target for the Morgan Consortium to infiltrate. If this bank falls, the McCormick family will suffer heavy losses, and the Morgan Consortium will suffer heavy losses. However, the Chicago consortium is in crisis, and Xia Yu does not intend to give up such a good opportunity. He wants to be a pusher behind his back. As for the situation in the Canadian financial market, it is still the same sentence, everything is under control, and the Rohill family can''t turn it over! The final victory can only be his! Soon, Polaris Capital Corporation began to take action. A sum of money began to flood into the stock market, shorting the major listed companies of the Chicago Consortium. At the same time, the Dun & Bradstreet Group has become a key short-selling target because it is the parent company of Moody''s, one of the world''s three major rating agencies. In public opinion, the newspapers controlled by Polaris Capital Corporation began to follow the news of the Continental Bank of Illinois, and also analyzed the dependence of many American banks on the Continental Bank of Illinois, and hypothetically analyzed the impact of the Continental Bank of Illinois. The position of the news is very neutral, in the tone of worrying about the country and the people, reminding the regulatory authorities to strengthen supervision to ensure that there will be no systemic risks. No one else can perceive the sinister intentions behind this. But in terms of impact, it is huge. On May 25, the amount of funds applied for withdrawal was as high as 1.78 billion U.S. dollars. On May 26, the amount of funds applied for withdrawal was as high as 2.14 billion U.S. dollars. In four days, up to 6.55 billion US dollars! The other three banks also showed signs of running out of funds, with the loss of funds reaching 1.01 billion U.S. dollars. Fortunately, on the afternoon of May 26, the Chicago Consortium finally withdrew all the funds from the Canadian foreign exchange market, alleviating some of the pressure. More than 20 billion U.S. dollars was used after the principal and leveraged capital allocation. After removing the leverage of other banks, 20.29 billion U.S. dollars was taken back. Among them, the total profit is 780 million U.S. dollars. There is no way. As the main force of smashing, the initial cost is higher and the profit is relatively lower. In order to hurriedly exit, it was also slaughtered. Originally, according to the original expected plan, the profit was at least 3 billion U.S. dollars. What a pity... Among the 19.51 billion U.S. dollars, the funds of the four major families are 8.3 billion U.S. dollars, and the other 11.21 billion U.S. dollars are from the four major banks and other financial institutions. Among them, the Mainland Bank of Illinois has the largest amount of funds at US$2.85 billion. Then the Continental Bank of Illinois quickly entered into transactions with several other banks, first obtaining US$2.62 billion in funds. The Continental Bank of Illinois received US$5.47 billion in funding all at once. But after the funds came back, 4.7 billion US dollars were stopped rolling and frozen in disguise. The funds available to the Continental Bank of Illinois are only US$770 million. According to the four-day run of the crisis, funds will still run out on the 27th. At this moment, official assistance finally arrived. Federal Reserve Chairman Volcker, Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Ishak, Director of the Financial Institutions Inspectorate Connova, and executives of six of the seven major U.S. banks jointly studied and passed the decision. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, one of the 12 largest regional Federal Reserve Banks of the Federal Reserve, came forward to lend US$3.6 billion in emergency funds to the Bank of Illinois in the Mainland! In addition, 16 banks were forced to provide a total of up to US$4.5 billion in 30-day credit lines to the Mainland Bank of Illinois. The US$3.6 billion was credited to the mainland Illinois bank account on the morning of the 27th, while the 30-day credit line of US$4.5 billion would need time to be raised by major banks. At this time, the withdrawal of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars from the Chicago Consortium not only weakened the power of the shorts by more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, but also increased the power of the bulls by more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The offensive and defensive momentum is instantly reversed! The bulls blew the counter-attack clarion call. The bulls, led by the six largest Canadian banks, all took out their spare funds and entered the currency market, and the bears retreated steadily. The Canadian dollar/US dollar exchange rate quickly rushed back above 0.8, and the bullish momentum quickly took shape. The Canadian stock market also began to rebound, and the Toronto 300 Index once again rushed to 2,400 points. The position of bears is precarious. Richard King Mellon couldn''t sit still anymore, and an ocean phone called Xiangjiang to discuss countermeasures with Xia Yu. Xia Yu directly gave Richard King Mellon a reassurance, telling him that he had found other allies, and he would immediately set up the banner of the air force and fight back!

Please recommend this book to your friends (QQ, blog, WeChat, etc.), thank you for your support! ! v3 Chapter 1324: Gambling speech Latest website: This time, Xia Yu wants to fully play the prestigious name of Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund, so that these two companies will resound all over the world. As long as the First World War Conferred, when the two major funds raise funds from abroad, their assets can easily break through tens of billions of dollars, and it is not impossible for them to soar to 20 billion in a few years! Knowing Xia Yu''s high expectations, Julian Robertson and Rey Dario finally stopped paddling. The two major fund companies seemed to have agreed, and when the Canadian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar rebounded to 0.8035 points, they hit the market again! With one hand, four big orders were thrown, totaling 10 billion Canadian dollars! Directly sweep away the long-paying bills! Instantly shocked the entire Canadian foreign exchange market. The shorts who had already been beaten up because of the withdrawal of the Chicago Consortium, some even wanted to cut their flesh and quit. But after seeing the bridge water fund and the tiger fund carry the banner of bearishness, like two strategic bombers, they are all excited after they come out. Smash! Keep smashing! With the huge number of empty orders of the two major funds as ballast stones, the psychological burden of the shorts has been exhausted, and they have been smashed to continue to suppress the Canadian dollar exchange rate. In just five minutes, the Canadian dollar exchange rate fell below 0.8 again. At the same time, Xia Yu''s other funds also began to explode, trying to defeat the bulls in one fell swoop and blow them up. 0.7964! 0.8008! ... 0.7973! 0.7985! ... The bulls were disrupted at first, but immediately integrated funds to build positions and fight again. In one morning, the longs and shorts were inextricably fought, the Canadian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar fluctuated violently, and the hills were changing for the owner. But overall, the bears still have the advantage! Some of the new bulls who had seen the Chicago consortium fail and felt profitable, because the reserve funds were not yet ready, they were directly swept through by the violent fluctuations and were eaten up by the bulls. The changes in the short-term, even David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan did not expect. They thought that after the Chicago Consortium withdrew, the attack on Canada might end in failure. I didn''t expect to be able to shoot such a fierce short, and it was the Wall Street Gemini who shot together, fighting the bulls very hard. They immediately adjusted their deployment. In addition to the same plan for the Chicago consortium, it will also add funds to attack the Canadian foreign exchange market and prepare for a looting. ... "Harris, do you have any other options? We can''t stand it anymore!" When Harris Lowhill received a call from Aubrey DeMarre, the latter almost shouted at him in a very tense voice. "Aubrey, we must resist. The combined strength of the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund in the United States is not as good as the Chicago Consortium. We still have a chance." "If we give up, then everything is over!" "So much money has been invested in, don''t care a little more!" "I will invest another billion Canadian dollars immediately, and you have to keep up." Harris Rohill didn''t care about the gentleman''s demeanor. He pulled off his tie and yelled into the microphone. Because of his emotions, his complexion was flushed and his temples were violent, making him look very hideous. After hanging up the phone, Harris Rohill immediately mobilized funds to enter the foreign exchange market. At this point, it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender! The Chicago consortium was scammed back. He didn''t believe that the bridge water fund and tiger fund that popped up suddenly would have more funds! It''s just that he didn''t expect that the amount of funds in the Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund is not so huge, but Xia Yu has it. It''s just that Xia Yu''s funds are scattered, mainly low-key, unlike the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund trying to gain fame. In addition to the Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund and other frontal attacks, Xia Yu has another trick. Harris Rosier was able to draw a salary from the bottom of the tank and force the Chicago consortium to retreat. Xia Yu also has a back hand, causing the backyard of Canadian bulls to catch fire! And we must kill two birds with one stone and completely establish the advantage of the general election! ... On May 28th, Joseph Chretien led the campaign team to Montreal, the economic center and major port city of Quebec. This city is also the home of Canadian banking giants. Many banks, including Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, and National Bank of Canada, have their headquarters in Montreal. And Joseph Chretien, who is in the eyes of the Bank of Canada, just came here. Today, he will hold a campaign speech at his favorite alma mater, the University of Montreal. At that time, the state-owned Canadian Radio and Television Station will broadcast the whole process! The University of Montreal is a public university that mainly uses French as the main language of instruction. It was formerly the Montreal campus of Laval University, Canada''s first university, and was renamed the University of Montreal in 1920. The arrival of Joseph Chretien received a warm welcome from the teachers and students of the University of Montreal. Almost all students wanted to shake hands with this outstanding senior. Because the students are too enthusiastic, the venue for the election speeches is the sports field. Only the sports field is spacious enough to accommodate all teachers and students. The sun was scorching, everyone was sweating, but everyone was still enthusiastic. Joseph Chretien''s campaign slogan is a very contagious sentence-let Canada continue to be great! Under this campaign slogan, there are many campaign content, including reshaping Canadian financial order; promoting national reconciliation and solving Quebec¡¯s ethnic problems; reducing government spending, debt and fiscal deficits; alleviating employment problems, and so on. Each item is a key point, which can hit people''s hearts directly. In particular, the promotion of national reconciliation and the settlement of Quebec¡¯s ethnic issues in Article 2 are the most important on this occasion, because Quebec is very special. Quebec is the province with the largest ethnic contradiction in Canada, because it has the second most populous province in the country. 80% of the population is of French descent. It is the French cultural center in North America and its official language is French. Quebec has always been the vote of the Liberal Party. This province currently has 75 seats in the House of Commons, second only to Ontario with 100 seats and 46 more seats than the third largest province, British Columbia. And this time, the reason why the Liberal Party''s poll is so low is because Quebec has changed color. The source of the problem was when the constitution was amended at the end of 1981, Prime Minister Pierre Pierre bypassed Quebec and failed to accept the "unique social" status of Quebec proposed by Quebec officials and should also be recognized by the Constitution. Pierre disregarded the interests of French descendants in Quebec and damaged the rights of French descent. Naturally, he was disgusted and resisted by the people of Quebec. Even Pierre was proud of his political achievements¡ªmaking Canada a constitutional independent. The "Canada Act", which is a national symbol, has not been confirmed by the Quebec Conference for two years. In order to restore the hearts of the people of Quebec and resolve ethnic conflicts, Joseph Chretien, who is also of French origin, will use this speech to call back the support of the people of Quebec! No way, even though he has put forward the slogan for a week, polls show that the Liberal Party and his approval rate are far behind. Perhaps according to the trend, before the general election, it is still possible to reverse, but the risk is too great. So in order to be able to make an absolute comeback. In this competition speech, he bet his life is hard enough! v3 Chapter 1325: Under 1 gun, defeated Latest website: Joseph Chretien stood on the podium and missed the life of the student in a humorous tone. After getting closer with all the teachers and students, he began his competitive speech. "...Quebec is an inalienable part of Canada. Whether it is French, British or Hispanic, it now has a unified identity-Canadians, Quebec people should have equal rights and obligations, and I will work to promote solutions Ethnic conflicts..." "The goal of economic recovery is to encourage private investment, improve government efficiency and increase intervention and control in the financial industry, make full use of financial policy means, and control national debt to promote economic growth and increase employment. At the same time, disband some state-owned companies that are not doing well. Or turn it into a private enterprise, actively encourage the inflow of foreign capital, and cut government spending..." "The financial system is the lifeblood of the national economy. Banks are responsible for the economic vessels. Only state-owned banks controlled by the government can shoulder the burden of financial management and intervention..." "I know I will face many difficulties. The banker will do everything to stop me, but there are thousands of people behind me. No one can stop the people from embarking on a happier path." "I firmly believe that Canada will continue to be great!" "All of us will be Canadian heroes..." "boom!" "Bang! Bang! Bang!" "what!" "Help!" "There is a killer, the prime minister was shot." ... Just as Joseph Chretien raised his right hand and shouted slogans, there was a sudden gunshot, followed by several more gunshots. The audience was silent for a moment, and then there was a complete commotion, with screams one after another. Joseph Chretien on the podium was shot and fell to the ground. The bodyguards around immediately protected him. The medical team that had been equipped for teachers and students immediately rescued Joseph Chretien. Five minutes later, the ambulance at the school hospital felt the stadium. After picking up Joseph Chretien in the car, he hurried to the hospital. At this time, in just one minute, the whole of Canada was shaken, and the impact was spreading abroad at a rapid rate. Because all of this is broadcast live nationwide through the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This live broadcast was watched by audiences across Canada. But they saw such a scene, and everyone was angry. This thing is too bad! In the event of a live broadcast accident, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation originally wanted to suspend the live broadcast, but when angry people gathered under the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation building and demanded the truth, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation continued to open the live broadcast. So after twenty minutes or so, the audience who was still waiting in front of the TV saw Joseph Chretien again. What gave everyone a little peace of mind was that Joseph Chretien was still alive, but he was lying pale on the mobile hospital bed and was about to move into the operating room. Obviously, he was really shot! Before entering the operating room, Joseph Chretien was facing the camera. Although his face was pale due to blood loss, his eyes still radiated light, which was the light of faith. He still said firm words in a weak voice: "No one can stop me from leading Canada to continue to be great." Subsequently, the doctor pushed Joseph Chretien into the operating room. Seeing this scene, the eye sockets of almost all the audience in front of the TV were moistened. This picture is destined to become a classic! Canadian public opinion is boiling! Countless people all over the country walked out of their homes and gathered on squares, roads, and outside government departments, shouting "heroes" slogans and holding billboards that read "Down with the black hand". Many people also pointed their finger at the large private banks. They suspected that the bankers were manipulating everything behind their backs in order to prevent Joseph Chretien from nationalizing their banks. The head offices of the six major banks were crowded with protesters, and the vigilant policemen did not dare to take arms in the face of overwhelming public opinion and could only reassure them as much as possible. No way, even the police were resentful and suspected the banker. All the bankers in Canada were panicked. Those who were in the company hid in the company and did not dare to come out, and those who were not in the company hid far away and did not dare to return home. At this time, Harris Rohill happened to be at the headquarters of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the dense crowd of ants seeking the truth downstairs. His face was slumped and fell into silence. That''s it! Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door of the office, awakening Harris Lowhill. "Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a subordinate walked in in a panic and reported to Harris Rothschild: "Chairman, something has happened. The foreign exchange market has completely collapsed, and other institutions have begun to flee." "I know¡­¡­" Although he had guessed all of this a long time ago, Harris Rosier was still in a panic, and it took him a long time to slowly utter these words. ... Naturally, it was not only Harris Rohill who guessed this scene. Aubrey DeMarre, Anderson Sfield, Joyce Gracie and others all watched the live broadcast of Joseph Chretien¡¯s campaign. From the moment he was shot, everyone¡¯s mind It also seemed to have been shot. Whether the killer can kill Joseph Chretien is hard to say, but the lives of their banks are definitely over! Whether or not any of them arranged to assassinate Joseph Chretien, they have the biggest suspicion. When public opinion is boiling, right and wrong are no longer important. Therefore, financial institutions, including the six major banks, all withdrew funds from the foreign exchange market. They must get the funds back as soon as possible and then find a way to transfer assets. In this case, the collapse of the Canadian foreign exchange market is natural. That day. The Canadian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar plummeted to 0.7621. And the trend of plummeting is still obvious and the stock market has also plummeted. The Toronto 300 Index plummeted to around 2,200 points. All the big shorts were as if they were beaten up with blood, and the hot money rushed like a great white shark that smelled of blood. Not only did he kill in the foreign exchange market, he also rushed to the stock market, preparing to ransack him. The four major families of the Chicago Consortium were dumbfounded, but after they were upset, they had to return to the most important issue to resolve the bankruptcy crisis of the mainland Illinois Bank and the run crisis that also occurred in the other three major banks. Canadian profits have nothing to do with them. Thank goodness for keeping the banks and companies of the Chicago Consortium... Richard King Mellon, who was far away in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had Xia Yu''s face with a slight smile in his mind at this time... PS: Shoot, vote not to kill (*^¨Œ^*) v3 Chapter 1326: Hunting Chicago Consortium (2 Latest website: Richard Kimmelon didn¡¯t guess wrong. This incident was planned and executed by Xia Yu from the beginning to the end. And Joseph Chretien himself knew and agreed. Regardless of how Joseph Chretien wanted to participate in the general election, in fact, he himself knew very well that the probability of success was too low. The reason for wanting to participate was nothing more than the idea of ??fighting it in his heart. Anyway, as long as you participate in the election, even if you are unsuccessful, then at least you will have exposure and richer experience. These things are the foundation of the next general election. After Barlow Pierce, the general manager of the campaign, told him about this proposal in private, Joseph Chretien yelled at Barlow Pierce as a lunatic. But after he calmed down, he thought of Ronald Reagan in the United States, who had also been shot. Although he was shot after the election, the result was that after he was discharged from the hospital, the American people''s support for him soared. This is a precedent set here. So, desperate for the position of Canadian Prime Minister, he agreed to fight hard, and with bitterness, as long as he didn''t die, he would be able to fly into the sky. Of course, it can also eliminate the risk that bank capital may counterattack ahead of time. He was "arranged" for a shot in advance by his own people, so no one would dare to assassinate him again, because the result would be overwhelmed by the crazy Canadian people. It''s worth a shot to change your political future! Joseph Chretien''s operation was very successful. It was just a shot, and it was not a vital part. The bullet was only a 0.22 caliber bullet, but he still needs to be recuperated in the hospital. Although Joseph Chretien could not go all over the country to give a speech on competition, but the topic of public opinion about him is increasing day by day, and his reputation is getting better and better and louder. Not only the media controlled by Xia Yu behind the scenes continue to report positively, but also other media continue to report for hot spots. At the same time, the media continues to fan the flames of bank capitalists and the Progressive Conservative Party. The reputation of the Progressive Conservative Party and Martin Bryan continued to decline, and the results of the polls reversed rapidly. Of course, even in the hospital, Joseph Chretien did not forget to show, and the effect of the show was great. The consequence of the soaring fame of Joseph Chretien and the Liberal Party is that Canada¡¯s financial order collapses faster and faster, which in turn has hammered the consequences of the government¡¯s loss of its ability to manage and intervene in the financial order. The voice is getting louder and louder. This in turn forced the shareholders of major banks to desperately transfer assets in order to reduce the loss of banks being nationalized. The vicious circle has taken shape. Banks and financial companies other than the Big Six Banks have also become victims. They don''t have to worry about the company being nationalized, but if international capital invades Canada, they become lambs to be slaughtered. The foreign exchange market collapsed, and the stock market also began to collapse. As a last resort, Canadian domestic capital can only transfer funds to the last safe haven-the bond market. According to the seesaw effect, the stock market plummets, the bond market will become prosperous, and the bond market will continue to soar. Canada is doomed to be harvested, but this requires a process, and the market needs to squeeze out all the benefits. At this critical time. The problems of the Chicago consortium have worsened. All core listed companies of the Chicago Consortium have been maliciously shorted. Among them are the hands of Xia Yu, as well as the shadows of other consortia and financial institutions. The bank of Illinois on the mainland, at the center of the storm, just got the $3.6 billion loaned by the Reserve Bank of Chicago on May 27, but on May 30, plus the $770 million that the original bank still had, it was all on May 31. It was all taken out on this day. Only eight days have passed since the crisis broke out! And the mainland bank of Illinois lost 10.15 billion US dollars of funds! Occupies more than a quarter of the bank''s total assets! And the rate of capital loss has not declined. The Continental Bank of Illinois can only hope for a 30-day loan of US$4.5 billion from 16 banks. However, according to the current situation, thirty days will certainly not be able to solve the problem. Once the thirty-day period has passed, the 4.5 billion US dollars of borrowing will become a bad debt and become another burden. Therefore, many of the 16 designated banks have raised this concern. The Federal Reserve, the Federal Insurance Company, and the U.S. Financial Institutions Inspectorate have all quarreled fiercely about this, but they are still unable to reach an agreement. It can only be implemented in accordance with the previously agreed decision, forcing the 16 designated banks to borrow money and complete the assigned tasks as soon as possible. This includes Wells Fargo Bank, which needs to mobilize US$300 million to lend to the Continental Bank of Illinois. The president of Wells Fargo Bank, Alman Simmons, approved the money, but did not send the money immediately. Instead, he called James McCormick, the chairman and president of the Continental Bank of Illinois, and asked him to come out and meet him. surface. On the morning of May 31. James McCormick hurriedly came to an excellent western restaurant in downtown Chicago and met Alman Simmons. His eyebrows were already burning, James McCormick had no time to waste. He just sat down and asked straightforwardly: "President Simmons, you said you have a way to help us, what is the way?" Alman Simmons was not in a hurry, he smiled unhurriedly and said: "President McCormick, don''t worry, let''s order coffee first, don''t let the waiter wait in a hurry." James McCormick''s face changed slightly, he took a deep breath, and said directly to the waiter next to him: "Thank you for a latte." Alman Simmons also ordered a cup of coffee, and then the waiter left the box. "Go ahead, President Simmons, what is your purpose for looking for me?" James McCormick asked again. Alman Simmons smiled and said: "Actually, I really intend to help you. At the moment, the premise is whether you are willing to accept my help." "Mainland Illinois Bank''s capital flow is basically exhausted, and the rest are assets that cannot be processed in a short period of time, or assets that have turned into non-performing assets after the crisis broke out." "We at Wells Fargo Bank have funds, but how much can be taken from us depends on how much you can put out the chips I need." James McCormick''s heart sank, knowing that Alman Simmons was ready to take advantage of the fire. But he could only hold back his anger and asked: "President Simmons, you just say, what assets of our bank do you have a fancy?" Alman Simmons smiled slightly and said: "It''s not that we are interested in your assets, we just accepted the client''s entrustment." James McCormick gave an unconfirmed cry, he didn''t believe what Alman Simmons said. Of course, he doesn''t have the mind to explore now. He just wants to make money, crazy money, to save the life of the Continental Illinois Bank, and to extend the life of his McCormick family. "What is the asset?" Yalman Simmons said with a smile: "I remember that your company has a certain business relationship with Motorola, and also owns a part of the equity." "We are willing to invest in this part of the equity to provide you with valuable funds." To James McCormick''s words, it was very harsh, as if he were a homeless man who was given alms. However, his desire for funds suppressed his dissatisfaction: "Yes, our bank has a part of Motorola''s equity, which totals 4.65%." "I was personally responsible for this equity." "If you want, we can sell it to you, but in terms of price, how much do you plan to sell?" "300 million dollars!" Alman Simmons uttered a few words lightly. But James McCormick''s eyes widened, staring at Alman Simmons angrily and said: "are you joking?" "Of course not, I''m making a sincere price." Aalman Simmons said solemnly. James McCormick said angrily: "Impossible. This is seriously inconsistent with the value of this equity. Motorola has just launched a mobile phone. Even if I did not pay special attention to it, I know its market feedback is very good. Motorola The future of the company is infinitely bright. Even if you don¡¯t want it, there will definitely be others who want it.¡± Yalman Simmons responded with a calm attitude: "No one knows the future of Motorola. In history, great companies have disappeared, and there is no shortage of Motorola." "If you don''t sell it to me now, you won''t be able to sell it for $300 million until later." "Even if the mainland Illinois Bank fails, the assets will be liquidated." "Even if it does not go bankrupt, is taken over by the Federal Insurance Company or the Federal Reserve, or acquired by J.P. Morgan Bank, let alone Motorola''s equity, even if it is the equity of other companies, it has nothing to do with you." James McCormick was so furious by Alman Simmons, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his eyes fixed on Alman Simmons, but the latter was calm and unmoved at all. Slowly, James McCormick''s anger gradually dissipated, because Alman Simmons talked about things that were very likely to happen, and he himself had deduced many times and the results were almost the same. The best thing for him is to keep the Mainland Bank of Illinois. Even if it can''t be saved, he should spend more money to delay the time, so that he has more time to save more assets for the McCormick family. It''s just that Motorola''s market value has risen to $7.8 billion some time ago. The 4.65% equity, based on market value, is valued at more than US$360 million. Arman Simmons offered 300 million US dollars, not what is robbery? "300 million dollars is impossible, at least 500 million dollars." James McCormick said firmly. "Tuk Tuk!" "Sir, your coffee is ready." At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and the voice of the waiter came from outside the door. The almost quarrelsome negotiation was suddenly interrupted. "Come in!" Alman Simmons said to the door, and then the waiter pushed in the car and brought the two cups of coffee in front of them: "Please take your time." "Thanks." Alman Simmons smiled and said, then gave a fifty-dollar tip to the waiter, who exited the box with a surprise smile. "President McCormick, you might as well take a sip of coffee and calm down." "I have always been calm!" James McCormick said coldly, but he still showed some face, picked up his coffee, and simply took a sip. His favorite coffee in the past is now tasteless. After putting down the cup, he still maintained his original attitude: "I still have that attitude, at least 500 million US dollars." "President McConnick, I think it is difficult for us to be friends." "By the way, we will abide by the decisions made by the Federal Reserve, the Federal Insurance Corporation and the Prosecutor''s Office of Financial Institutions, as well as the assigned tasks, but we still need a certain amount of time to raise the 300 million US dollars of credit funds." After speaking, Alman Sears got up, ready to go out. James McCormick''s face turned dark for an instant, until Alman Simmons was about to walk to the door, he finally lowered his head and shouted Alman Simmons: "Wait!" "We can still talk." The corner of Alman Simmons''s mouth facing the box door curled up, then converged, turned slowly, and returned to his original position. "I can sell the equity to you at market value parity, but your $300 million loan must be credited to our bank account today." Alman Simmons said without delay: "It''s okay to calculate the value based on market value, but I have another requirement. Of course, this requirement is also good for you." James McCormick''s face went dark, and it''s good for you to fuck, this sentence will only be believed unless he gets a brainstorm. But in order to ask others, he also had to go down in a low voice: "Please say." "I want to buy a 13.8% stake in Northern Trust Bank." Alman Simmons threw another hunting target. Northern Trust Bank, one of the four major banks of the Chicago Consortium, is currently in the hands of the Kron family. Although the bank is only the last of the four major banks , it is a real large bank. The Mainland Bank of Illinois actually holds a 13.8% stake in Northern Trust Bank. Of course, Northern Trust Bank is also currently in crisis. This bank has also fallen into the deep pit of South American sovereign debt. This time it was implicated by the Mainland Bank of Illinois and a run broke out. The funding chain was very tight and there were bankruptcies. risks of. Last year, Northern Trust Bank¡¯s net profit was only 21 million U.S. dollars. Compared with its bank assets of more than 28 billion U.S. dollars, it looks terrible. But it is undeniable that this is a large bank with more than 28 billion U.S. dollars in assets. Although the crisis has now broken out, some of its assets have become non-performing assets. just¡­¡­ If this 13.8% stake in Northern Trust Bank is sold, the problem will be serious... PS: I was too busy today. It was past nine o¡¯clock after I finished my work. I went to see a sickness before I hurried back to the codewords. Tonight is the two-in-one chapter. Good night v3 Chapter 1327: The McCormick family must be in crisis Latest website: James McCormick hesitated, struggling fiercely in his heart. Seeing this, Alman Simmons smiled instead, with greater confidence in his chest. After learning that the Chicago Consortium was planned before, the four major banks of the Chicago Consortium, the boss Peter Lynch, and him all agreed that Northern Trust Bank was the most suitable target for mergers and acquisitions. Although the mainland Illinois Bank is the strongest, it has a different model and has been infiltrated by the Morgan Consortium. The First National Bank of Chicago is also very good, but it has been infiltrated by the Rockefeller consortium. The difference between Harris Trust & Savings Bank and Northern Trust Bank is small. The two banks have something in common, but they are also quite different. Harris Trust & Savings Bank''s trust business is very strong, but the personal savings business is also very good, occupying a large proportion. The Northern Trust Bank¡¯s business includes asset services, fund management, asset management, trust and banking solutions, and so on. However, the most critical consideration for choosing Northern Trust Bank is that Northern Trust Bank has large businesses in Canada and the United Kingdom, and it also has an influence in Europe. And this influence is complementary to Wells Fargo. Of course, Alman Simmons did not think about annexing Harris Trust & Savings Bank and Northern Trust Bank at the same time, but he gave up after the deduction and his strength did not allow him. Even the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium are focusing on one bank. After the Chicago Consortium broke out in the crisis, other consortiums will definitely be tempted, so it is already very good to be able to eat the next one. After all, ten birds are in the forest, it is better to have one bird in your hand! "President McCormick, at this time, I personally think that you should consider yourself and the McCormick family the most. Other people, why should you consider so much?" The words of Alman Simmons awakened James McCormick like a divine enlightenment. The selfish side of human nature quickly gained the upper hand. James McCormick did not say anything hypocritical, but directly asked: "Then what price do you plan to offer?" "I believe that others will also be interested!" Due to time constraints, James McCormick also directly neglected to let the professional team negotiate, and he came to talk directly. "But I was the first to find you, didn''t I?" "Maybe others will really be tempted, but they all want to wait until the end. It is best if the Continental Bank of Illinois is on the verge of bankruptcy and can take over the bank''s assets for one dollar." Aalman Simmons said with a sneer, rebutting extremely forcefully. James McCormick''s face was a little ugly, but he didn''t refute shamelessly. Instead, he asked again: "It''s between us now. I just want to know what price you are willing to pay?" "One hundred million dollars!" Arman Simmons decisively quoted a price. According to the corresponding 13.8% equity, Northern Trust Bank, which is equivalent to more than 28 billion U.S. dollars in assets, is worth 720 million U.S. dollars in his mind! This is almost the same as the core capital of Northern Trust Bank. Although the bank¡¯s assets belong to customers, the value of customers can¡¯t be counted at all, right? So James McCormick immediately retorted: "Impossible, the price is too low." "At least 400 million U.S. dollars!" Alman Simmons said with a sneer: "Last year, Northern Trust Bank''s net profit was only 21 million U.S. dollars. With this profit, you dare to say that Northern Trust Bank can be worth nearly 3 billion U.S. dollars?" "Even if it''s listed, it can exceed a one-hundred-fold P/E ratio, President McCormick, you really dare to think about it." "What''s more, this year, Northern Trust Bank will definitely be hit hard, and 100% will lose money." "At the current rate of capital loss at Northern Trust Bank, it would be nice to be able to retain more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in assets of over 28 billion U.S. dollars." "One hundred million dollars is already a very high premium!" "No more!" James McCormick shook his face and argued: "But it is undeniable that Northern Trust Bank has enough potential. It is only a special situation. As long as this year, the situation will definitely get better." "But I can save you face and save 50 million dollars." "Too high¡­¡­" Arman Simmons continued to bargain. ... The two big bankers in the United States, like two hawkers at this time, quarreled with saliva. But no one left, trying to figure out the other side''s bottom line within the determined framework. After nearly half an hour of fighting, finally reached an agreement. The 13.8% stake in Northern Trust Bank was eventually traded at US$220 million. Converted, it is equivalent to nearly 1.6 billion U.S. dollars worth of Northern Trust Bank. The price is definitely low. But there is no way. Now the Chicago Consortium is in crisis, the Continental Bank of Illinois is in crisis, and their McCormick family is also in crisis. The actual situation of Northern Trust Bank is indeed not good. So Alman Simmons succeeded in taking advantage of the fire. But James McCormick is still satisfied. Selling 4.65% of Motorola''s equity can get back $360 million in funds. Together with the current funding of 220 million U.S. dollars, it has reached 580 million U.S. dollars. This amount of funds, even if it is put in the usual way, is considered to be very large, let alone this critical moment? "President Simmons, I have an urgent matter. I will go back first. After you go back, please send someone to our company to sign the contract." "Of course, the most important thing is to prepare funds." When they were about to leave, the two held their hands, and smiles appeared on their faces. "Of course it''s okay, I''ll let someone pass it later." "Ok." ... Wells Fargo also has a branch in Chicago. Alman Simmons had already prepared the manpower. After he returned to the branch, he immediately sent a team to the mainland bank of Illinois. On the same day, the contract was signed, 580 million yuan was spent, and the equity of the two companies were all obtained. Motorola¡¯s equity was only bought incidentally to help the parent company Polaris Capital. What Wells Fargo really needs is the equity of Northern Trust Bank. Except for the major shareholder, the Krone family, , the most difficult-to-buy equity held by the mainland bank of Illinois has already been obtained. Next, Arman Simmons will let the team quickly initiate acquisitions to other shareholders. He will not wait until the last moment. Although the acquisition price is higher now, the competition is also minimal. Furthermore, as long as the Northern Trust Bank can be acquired as soon as possible, and the relationship with the Chicago Consortium can be separated, the crisis will naturally be lifted, and Northern Trust Bank¡¯s losses will be minimized. If that''s the case, the acquisition now won''t even count the high price. The news of the acquisition of these two shares soon reached Xia Yu''s ears. Xia Yu immediately gave the order to increase the all-round offensive force. The funds of the Continental Illinois Bank must be consumed as quickly as possible, and the McCormick family must also be in crisis before he can get what he really wants. v3 Chapter 1328: Forex and stock market double kills Latest website: Thanks to Xia Yu''s unremitting efforts, the crisis of the Bank of Illinois on the mainland continued to spread and reached despair at a faster rate. Even if I got a loan of 4.5 billion U.S. dollars from 16 banks, I got 580 million U.S. dollars from Wells Fargo because of the sale of assets. But on June 4, the capital chain of the Mainland Bank of Illinois was on the verge of interruption. The Financial Institution Management Agency, in conjunction with a third-party accounting company, rectified the finances and assets of the Mainland Bank of Illinois and found that the Bank of Illinois in Mainland China had up to 4.5 billion U.S. dollars in non-performing loans. This is an appalling amount! Even John Chris Morgan, who had been planning the Continental Bank of Illinois, was dumbfounded, and he was immediately caught in a dilemma. In the end, he chose to temporarily stop the acquisition of the Mainland Bank of Illinois, and first shed this burden on the Federal Reserve and the US government, and wait until the situation improves later. No other consortium dared to take over the Continental Bank of Illinois at present, so after urgent consultation, it was decided to appoint the government-owned Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to come forward. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation bought the US$4.5 billion in non-performing loans from the Bank of Illinois in Mainland China. The discounted price of this large loan was US$3.6 billion, in exchange for the previous US$3.6 billion in debt. . In addition, the Continental Bank of Illinois issued another one billion US dollars of preferred stock, which was designated to be sold to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In this way, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will become the absolute majority controlling shareholder of the Continental Bank of Illinois. In this way, the Continental Bank of Illinois was basically nationalized except for its name. With the credibility of the U.S. government and the endorsement of the Federal Reserve that can print money towards the back, the Continental Bank of Illinois will definitely not go bankrupt. Customers will definitely feel at ease, and the run-up will naturally be resolved. Regarding this matter, James McCormick finally chose to agree when he was desperate. He also had to agree! Only in this way, the crisis of the McCormick family was exposed to the outermost layer and was about to break out. The other three major families and the three major banks are equally unlucky. Whether it is a domestic consortium or a foreign consortium, they have all launched an offensive against the Chicago consortium. The competition is on the surface and they all want to swallow more assets. First National Bank of Chicago, Harris Trust & Savings Bank, Northern Trust Bank, Sina Financial Company, State Insurance Company, Sears Department Store, United Department Store, Tiffany Jewelry Company, Marshall Field Company, Esmark Company , United Foods Company, International Harvester Company, Deere Company, Caterpillar Tractor Company, Indiana Standard Oil Company, Texaco Oil Company, etc. These companies 51 are not well-known large companies in various fields in the United States. For example, the most conspicuous Sears department store, with sales of nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars in 1983, is not only the leading department store in the United States, but also ranked first in the world! There are also shares of Indiana Standard Oil Company and Texaco Oil Company. These two are the second of the seven oil sisters with sales of tens of billions of dollars, but they were finally snatched by the Chicago consortium. The Rockefeller consortium absolutely wants to grab it. After all, these two oil companies are the core of the Rockefeller consortium. Now they finally have the opportunity to recover their equity, and David Rockefeller will not miss it. Caterpillar Tractor Company is also one of the industrial core companies of the Rockefeller Consortium, and the company''s equity must also be recovered as much as possible. Of course, John Chris Morgan, the rival of David Rockefeller, definitely wants to take these shares and further penetrate the Rockefeller consortium. Fighting is inevitable! And Xia Yu''s goal is also very clear. There are hundreds of core companies and large companies under the Chicago Consortium. He doesn''t want too much. He only needs three companies: Northern Trust Bank, International Harvester Company and Deere Company. His Polaris Capital Company needs a strong industrial company as its core! Of course, as long as you take the Northern Trust Bank, one of the four major financial cores of the Chicago Consortium, you will naturally own shares in many companies. This is also one of Xia Yu''s first intentions to target Northern Trust Bank. At the same time, Polaris Capital''s equity acquisition of Dun & Bradstreet Group is also in progress. The outbreak of the mainland Illinois Bank crisis has caused a huge blow to the reputation of Moody''s. It has benefited 140 million U.S. dollars from shorting its parent company Dun & Bradstreet Group, which can be used as ammunition for the acquisition of Dun & Bradstreet Group. . As long as he holds Moody''s, Xia Yu can''t do whatever he wants in the U.S. financial sector, but at least Polaris Capital''s deterrent power will be greatly increased, and the self-protection and counterattack capabilities of its subsidiaries will also be greatly improved. As for the credibility of Moody''s? Now it has an impact. After a few years, I still do whatever I want. Since its establishment, has Moody''s done little insider trading? The other two major rating agencies have done no less than Moody''s, and they have also exposed scandals, but are they all doing well now? Time will wash away everything, and people are forgetful... ... When many consortia surrounded the Chicago consortium. As time passed, the situation in Canada became more and more chaotic. The Canadian foreign exchange market has been blown up. As of June 20, the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate had fallen to around 0.7100 under the bombardment of short positions. Compared to the peak point before shorting, the decline has exceeded 0.1. This means that when you open a short position at a high position and enter the market for 100 million US dollars, the profit after delivery will be 10 million US dollars! It''s just that the Canadian dollar/US dollar exchange rate has fallen to this level, and it has almost reached the end, and the rate of decline has been minimized. There are multiple reasons for this, but the most important reason is that the big shorts have already reaped the Canadian foreign exchange market, and the funds have been transferred to the Canadian stock market and bond market. . The largest foreign exchange market has been looted ~ www.novelhall.com~ The second largest stock market has become the second target, and the Canadian bond market is the final target. In the stock market, faced with all-round shorts from shorts, the Toronto 300 Index has plummeted to more than 1,600 points and continues to fall. This is driving capital to flock to the bond market to preserve value. But Xia Yu has long been in the Canadian bond market and bought more than $8 billion in bonds at low prices. After the bond market was pushed to a peak due to the influx of capital, he continued to sell bonds at high levels that were originally low prices. The financial situation has soured, which has caused a huge impact on all walks of life in Canada. The Canadian people are full of grievances. Under deliberate guidance, the grievances all point to the bankers. The voices of nationalizing the big banks have been louder than ever. In this situation, the time for the general election is getting closer and closer. After more than 20 days of hospitalization, Joseph Chretien finally couldn''t lie down... v3 Chapter 1329: One of the new top 10 consortiums in the United States "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! More than twenty days is not enough to completely heal Joseph Chretien''s gunshot wound. But the ability to act is there. The effect will be even better if you take a wounded body to give a speech. In the senior ward, Joseph Chretien''s entire campaign team came, ready to welcome him from the hospital. Polls expert Ron Robert directly reported to him the good news as a celebration of his discharge from the hospital. "Joseph, the latest secret poll shows that the approval rate of the Liberal Party has risen to 68%, and your approval rate has risen to 64%." "Especially in Quebec, your approval rate reached 71%, which is a terrible approval rate." "Your competitor, Martin Bryan''s approval rating has dropped to 19% nationwide!" "Now the people are looking forward to your recovery and discharge. In the next ten days, as long as your exposure rate rises, the approval rate will usher in a new round of explosion!" Joseph Chretien showed a bright smile and said to everyone: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone. This is the result of everyone''s hard work." "At this time we should do it." "Joseph, let''s go, now the hospital is full of your supporters, go and accept their enthusiastic cheers!" General Manager Barlow Pierce said with a smile. "Let''s go, it''s not worth staying here!" After that, Joseph Chretien took the lead and walked out of the ward. ... The news of Joseph Chretien''s recovery and discharge from the hospital was reported by major media for the first time, and his supporters all over Canada celebrated it. In the following days, Joseph Chretien took his sick body and held competition speeches everywhere. Every speech is crowded with people chanting the slogan "The Hero of the Canadian People" to express their support for Joseph Chretien. After each speech, the approval ratings of the Liberal Party and Joseph Chretien will rise. The Progressive Conservative Party and party leader Martin Bryan is increasingly desperate. As for the other small parties, they have given up their hearts a long time ago. It is a pity for the Progressive Conservative Party to watch Joseph Chretien''s performance quietly. Time flies by. Finally it''s the day set. On June 30, 1984, the Canadian House of Commons election was held as scheduled. When the final voting result came out, it shocked the entire political arena. Even though many people had prepared that the Liberal Party would get a lot of seats, they never expected that they would get so many seats. Of the 100 seats in Ontario, the Liberal Party won 92 seats. Quebec has 75 seats, and the Liberal Party won 73 seats. British Columbia had 29 seats, and the Liberal Party won 25 seats. ... The final result is that with 285 seats in the House of Commons, Joseph Chretien won a total of 257 seats! The ratio is as high as 90%! The Progressive Conservative Party only won 17 seats. Compared with the 38 seats in the previous session, it lost 21 seats. The Liberal Party has gained absolute dominance! In the next five years, as long as Joseph Chretien and the Liberal Party do not make serious mistakes, their position will be as stable as a mountain. After the results came out, Joseph Chretien was going to be busy entrusting his officials. The capitalists who support the Progressive Conservative Party are all flustered. In particular, the shareholders of the six major banks are all worried. After the results of the general election, the stock prices of the six major banks, which had already fallen to the bottom, plummeted again. Under this circumstance, the Bright Fund, HSBC and other companies that received Xia Yu''s order began to act. It''s time to harvest the fruits of victory! Bargain hunting! Crazy bargaining! The stocks of major listed companies are bought at the bottom of cabbage prices. The most important is the stocks of Scotiabank and Toronto-Dominion Bank, which are constantly buying. Scotiabank, Canada''s fourth-largest bank, has bank assets of more than $48 billion, but its market value has fallen to $2.55 billion at this time. Toronto-Dominion Bank, the fifth largest in Canada, has bank assets of more than 42 billion U.S. dollars. At this time, its market value has fallen to 2.19 billion Canadian dollars. Compared with their peak market value, this market value has shrunk by more than eight floors! The Toronto 300 Index fell by less than five tiers. It is conceivable that the tragic situation of banking stocks is definitely a prominent contributor to the lower Toronto 300 Index. For the other four of the top six banks, the situation is similar. In other words, the largest Royal Bank of Canada, the share price decline is the most serious, because as the leader, investors generally believe that the probability of being nationalized is the highest. So the stock is lost and nobody wants it. And Xia Yu didn''t want it either. Joseph Chretien wants to nationalize the bank. This bank is indeed the most suitable for the first operation. If he robs this bank, it will make Joseph Chretien¡¯s first fire not prosperous enough and easy. It is controversial. The second-largest Canadian Imperial Bank and the third-largest Bank of Montreal, the Rohill family are shareholders, and it is best to nationalize them all, which can maximize the loss of the Rohill family. As for the sixth-largest bank, which is distributed according to benefits, it has been targeted by the Mellon Consortium. The shareholders of those banks don''t know which banks will be nationalized, or all of them will be nationalized, so they are simply meat on the chopping board and are left to be slaughtered. Even if individual shareholders are clever when they are acquired, thinking that the bank will not be acquired, they will be threatened immediately. If they do not sell, they will change to another bank, and those shareholders will naturally hand over their equity. In the absence of any room for resistance, they have no choice! Of course, in order to prevent accidents, the acquisitions of these banks are naturally relatively secret and quick. It only took five days. Scotiabank and Toronto-Dominion Bank have changed hands. Scotiabank was taken by the Bright Fund and acquired a total of 94.8% of the equity at a cost of 2.47 billion Canadian dollars. The equity is very dispersed, held by Bright Fund, HSBC Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland and some offshore shell companies. Some of the remaining shares are still in the hands of retail investors and have not been purchased again. If it is not particularly sensitive now, HSBC Bank Canada will definitely choose to delist. Toronto-Dominion Bank was taken by Polaris Capital and acquired a total of 95.2% of the equity at a cost of 2.13 billion Canadian dollars. Just to take care of the emotions of the Canadian people and to save some face for Joseph Chretien, Polaris Capital and Wells Fargo did not appear in the list of apparent shareholders. They all used offshore shell companies to cross-hold shares. Way to hold these shares. When the time is right later, we will transfer a part of the equity to Wells Fargo Bank and let Wells Fargo Bank stand in the foreground. These two banks are just a small part of the harvest, just appetizers! This time, it''s not just the banks that suffered heavy losses in the Canadian financial industry. The Canadian insurance industry, which has a huge amount of capital, is also a long loser. After screening, Canada''s second-largest Manulife Life Company and the fourth-largest Canadian Life Company became Xia Yu''s prey. These two companies are the insurance companies that have suffered the most losses, and their major shareholders have also suffered heavy losses. Buy bottoms in the stock market and contact shareholders for acquisition. On July 11, Bright Fund acquired a 71.5% stake in Manulife Life at a cost of 3.7 billion Canadian dollars. On July 13, Bright Fund acquired a 69.4% stake in Canadian Life Insurance Company for a consideration of CAD 2.9 billion. On July 17, the Bright Fund acquired a 34% stake in Roblauer, Canada''s largest retail company, at a cost of C$1.74 billion. On July 18, the Bright Fund acquired a 61.8% stake in George Weston, Canada¡¯s largest baking company, at a cost of 1.87 billion Canadian dollars. On July 22, the Bright Fund took advantage of the crisis of the shortage of the capital chain of the Bombardier family, starting from various aspects, and finally forcibly acquired 68.4% of the equity of Bombardier. This company, which has made great achievements in tracked vehicles, urban rail transit, railways and high-speed locomotives, has not yet set foot in the field of aircraft manufacturing. But just the various transportation patents within Bombardier and the large number of skilled workers are worthy of Xia Yu''s enthusiasm. After completing the acquisition of Bombardier. At the same time, the Bright Fund, with the cooperation of the Canadian government, acquired the severely loss-making Aviation Industry Corporation of Canada, a state-owned aircraft manufacturer, for a purchase price of 1.1 billion Canadian dollars. After the acquisition, the Bright Fund immediately led the merger of Bombardier and Aviation Industry Corporation of Canada, and the Bombardier family could not stop it. After the merger of assets, the equity of the Bombardier family was diluted again, and the Bright Fund held 84.5% of the equity of the new Bombardier Group. Waited until July 21st. The time to come is finally here. The Canadian Parliament finally passed the nationalization bill for major banks. The nationalized banks are the top three banks, the Royal Bank of Canada, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and the Bank of Montreal. All the latter three banks have been spared. The Rohill family suffered heavy losses. And Xia Yu continued to enjoy the feast. After these three major banks were nationalized, the Canadian government''s will completely dominate the banks. With Xia Yu''s energy, isn''t it possible to buy what you want? It''s all about which assets you are interested in, and which assets are sold by the three major banks! Although the price is not super low, in terms of the current market situation, it is definitely the price of cabbage. The reasons for the three major banks to sell their assets are also very appropriate. They need to deal with non-performing assets and withdraw funds to ensure the safety of the banks'' funds. The first is the energy sector. With the help of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Pacific Oil Company acquired a 52% stake in the medium-sized Canadian Husky Oil Company at a price of 290 million Canadian dollars. Then it acquired Canterlot Energy of Canada at a price of 272 million Canadian dollars. Then, with the assistance of Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal, Pacific Petroleum acquired a 51% stake in the large Suncor Energy Company at a cost of 3.4 billion Canadian dollars. The acquisition of a 35% stake in Enbridge Natural Gas in Canada at a cost of 2.1 billion Canadian dollars. Then comes the mining sector. Bluestar Mining Corporation acquired a 56% stake in Canadian Barrick Gold Corporation at a cost of 1.7 billion Canadian dollars. This is the largest gold mining company in Canada and is now controlled by the price of cabbage. Then Canada''s second largest gold mining company, Canadian Gold Corporation, acquired a 43.8% stake at a cost of 820 million Canadian dollars. Bluestar Mining Corporation acquired a 63.8% stake in Canadian Tektronix Resources at a cost of 3.46 billion Canadian dollars. Tektronix Resources is the largest diversified mining company in Canada. Tektronix Resources mainly operates mining and smelting assets in Canada, the United States and South America, as well as global exploration activities, including mine exploration, development, smelting, refining, recycling and research, etc. . Tektronix Resources Canada¡¯s main business projects include copper, coking coal, zinc, and energy. It also produces special metals such as germanium and indium. It has 13 mines and a smelter in Canada, the United States, Chile, and Peru. The largest coking coal producer in North America, the world¡¯s second largest seaborne coking coal exporter, and the world¡¯s third largest producer of zinc concentrate. After eating so many energy and mining companies at once, Pacific Petroleum and Bluestar Mining have instantly become giants in the Canadian energy and mining fields. Add to that the two major banks already controlled, insurance companies, and acquired industrial companies and retail companies. Xia Yu has become a top tycoon in the Canadian capital field. Combined with the relationship with the Liberal Party, it can be said that he is a level calling for wind and rain. It''s a pity that in June, the major shareholders of the banks headed by Harris Rothschild raised funds urgently and bought the most important shares of the companies held by the major banks at a low price. Otherwise, Xia Yu can run out of funds. It''s like now, it''s just six pillars laid in Canada. But even so, it made Xia Yu very satisfied His current strength in Canada has surpassed Harris Rohill''s strength in its heyday. Not to mention now. Harris Roshir was severely injured, which greatly injured the Roshir family''s vitality. However, the contradiction between Xia Yu and the Rohir family has reached a new height. This time, in order to harvest Canadian assets, Xia Yu has exposed a lot. It''s just that Xia Yu didn''t care anymore. The exposure was exposed. He swallowed a large amount of Canadian assets and participated in the dismemberment of the Chicago consortium. In terms of overall strength, even if he started an all-round battle with the Rothier family, Xia Yu was nothing short of false! There are two flowers and one branch each. When the time comes in August. The battle for the Chicago consortium finally came to an end. The catastrophe was approaching, and the four major families of the Chicago Consortium all flew separately, just preserving their own strength. The First National Bank of Chicago was acquired by Chase Manhattan Bank and was swallowed by the Rockefeller Consortium. Harris Trust & Savings Bank is jointly controlled by the Citibank Consortium and the California Consortium. The Northern Trust Bank was wholly-owned by Wells Fargo Bank. As for the International Harvester Company and Deere Company that Xia Yu wanted, 69.2% and 73.4% of the shares were acquired by Polaris Capital, respectively. The D&B Group, which is idle, acquired 38.4% of the shares and became a major shareholder, which is enough. In this battle, the Chicago Consortium came to an end, really stunned everyone''s eyes. The Polaris Capital Company, on the other hand, has been named among all forces. What''s more, privately, Polaris Capital has replaced the Chicago Consortium and has become one of the new top ten consortia. Although it is only at the bottom, the top ten is Top ten! v3 Chapter 1330: Sort out the results of the war "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Although Sandy holds the position of vice president of Alcoa''s mainland branch, she is more of a suspended position. At the beginning she was still working hard and went to the mainland more frequently, but soon she found that she was not interested in this at all. Her mind was attracted by other things. She was fascinated by the celestial and fluttering Hanfu. She wears the kimono of the island country, but compared to the Hanfu with richer cultural connotation and more elegant style, she thinks the island country kimono is still a lot worse. To this end, she simply set up a company that produces and sells Hanfu in Xiangjiang, named Huamei Hanfu Co., Ltd., preparing to promote Hanfu culture in Europe and the United States, and is even thinking about building a Hanfu T-Taiwan show. As a result, she stayed in Xiangjiang more time. Does she have any other friends in Xiangjiang, only Xia Yu and others, and she has no thoughts and time to make other friends. On this day, she wore a new set of Hanfu designed by the company, got off work ahead of schedule, and came to Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, do you think I look good in this suit?" As soon as she walked in, Xiandi turned around in front of Xia Yu, and the light blue skirt embroidered with moir¨¦ flew elegantly, making Xia Yu''s eyes bright. At this time, Sandi is wearing a full-chested skirt, made of gauze. The upper body is more white. As she goes down, the light blue becomes more visible, and the two sleeves are white. The jade arms inside the sleeves Looming. Sandi¡¯s hair was tied up, and the bun behind her back was covered by a white gauze band. A hosta passed through the bun to fix the flowing gauze band. On the top of her head, she wore a relatively light golden phoenix crown, and Sandi held a ball fan in her hand, slenderly pinching the handle of the fan. She exudes a kind of immortal temperament, like a nine-day fairy descending to the earth. "It''s so beautiful, and the person looks good. With this dress, the temperament is perfectly displayed." Xia Yu stroked his palm and exclaimed, his eyes circling on Xiandi. Xiandi seems to be obsessed with Hanfu. Almost every day, Xiandi wears a new style of Hanfu. Her favorite is also for Xia Yu to appreciate and comment. Of course Xia Yu would not refuse, even before he knew it, a sense of anticipation had arisen. Every day when Sandi came to him in different Han clothes, it was one of the happiest times of the day. "Hee hee, I also think it looks good. I just liked this suit at first sight." Xiandi was overjoyed, her eyes bent into crescent moons, and she turned lightly in front of Xia Yu. Sandi is wearing a Han costume, although she is immortal, but because she is white, she is still blonde, so people who are used to watching costume TV dramas will feel a little awkward. Xia Yu is also like this, but after a while, Instead, I think this is a different kind of beauty. Seeing Xia Yu with a faint smile on her face and looking at her appreciatively, Sandy was very happy, beating more agile. At this moment, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Xiandi, I think if you have time, you can learn Chinese classical dance again, and your temperament will be further improved." "Chinese classical dance?" "Okay, I will definitely try my best to learn it, and I will show it to you when the time comes." Sandy blinked, tapped Zhenshou and said, with a sweet smile on her face. As the relationship gets closer, Sandy does not hide his affection for Xia Yu, and European and American girls are indeed more open and straightforward towards feelings, and are relatively proactive. The layer of paper between the two is as thin as a cicada''s wing, and it may break when it heats up one day... "Sandy, sit down and rest." Xia Yu greeted her, Xiandi sat on the sofa, still maintaining a dignified posture, showing her proud figure to the fullest. "By the way, Xia Yu, my father said let me say thank you." Xia Yu was stunned, and then said with a faint smile: "Your father is too polite, and he also put out a lot of effort, that is what he deserves." He said so, but Xia Yu felt more comfortable in his heart. After all, this time cooperation, although the Mellon consortium has contributed a lot, it is definitely worth it compared to the harvest. The Mellon consortium not only swallowed the National Bank of Canada, but also acquired a large number of companies in Canada, involving mining, industry, commerce, finance and other fields. In the Chicago consortium, the Mellon consortium also took a bite of meat. Not to mention the cake in the Canadian financial market. I ate a larger piece. It can be said that apart from Xia Yu, the Mellon Consortium has benefited the most. Even the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium are still a little bit behind. It can be said that despite the action this time, the Mellon Consortium is still ranked fifth among the top ten consortia in the United States, but the gap with the Texas consortium, which is sixth, has widened a lot, compared with California which is fourth. The consortium has gotten closer. Nowadays, the strength of the ten largest consortia in the United States, Xia Yu believes it should be this pattern: The first place, the Rockefeller Consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The second place, the Morgan Consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The third place, the first Citibank consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The fourth place, the California Consortium, is based in the western United States. The fifth place, the Mellon Consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The sixth place, the Texas consortium, is based in the southern United States. The seventh place, the Boston Consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The eighth place, the DuPont consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The ninth place, the Cleveland Consortium, is based in the eastern United States. The tenth place, the Polaris Consortium, is based in the western United States. It can be seen from the regional distribution of the top ten consortia that the eastern part of the United States is still a more developed region, and the seven consortia in the east are all established consortia. The original Chicago consortium was in the Midwest, but it was dismembered. In the west, the California consortium and the Polaris consortium take the lead, and in the south, only the Texas consortium. Even if the Texas consortium is placed in the eastern region, its strength is 37%, of course, it is only 37% on the surface. It can be seen from this that under the rule of the original established consortium, it is difficult for the emerging consortium to emerge. The Polaris Consortium is the only emerging consortium that has entered the ranks of the top ten consortia since the 1960s. Of course, the division of regions is not absolutely correct. After all, in this era, consortia have long been intricate and mutually infiltrated, and geographical restrictions have already failed. Just like now, the major consortia dismembered the Chicago consortium and swallowed the assets of the Chicago consortium, and their tentacles must have reached the Midwest of the United States. In the past so many years, it has long been unknown how many such things have happened, but the Chicago consortium has not been infiltrated and annexed as powerful as the Chicago consortium. "Sandy, it''s almost noon, do you want to eat with my house?" "It just so happens to have a chat with Cici." Looking at the time, Xia Yu found that it was already more than 11:40, and he smiled and said to Sandy. "Okay!" Xiandi happily accepted Xia Yu''s invitation. ... In the afternoon, Xia Yu did not go to the company, and calculated the gains in his own home. Each company successively reported the results to him in a secret way, and he had to sort it out before he knew how much money he had made and how much assets he had increased. In this operation, Xia Yu actually used more than 46 billion US dollars in the three major Canadian foreign exchange, stock and bond markets, but reached 56.4 billion US dollars. The reason why there are so many is because the Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund exploded in the back, and they found a bunch of banks on Wall Street to enter the market with leverage. With such a huge capital, the profits are of course even higher. A total of 24.83 billion U.S. dollars was earned. Then they shorted the major companies of the Chicago Consortium, shorted the Dun & Bradstreet Group, and so on. The scattered pieces also made a total of 4.39 billion US dollars. Of course, this profit is basically made by Polaris Capital and some of its financial companies. If these profits are added, in fact, the total profit of this entire big operation is 29.22 billion U.S. dollars. It''s just that the profits are so much and the expenses are also big. Almost all profits are spent. Bright Funds acquired Scotiabank of Canada, Manulife Canada, Canada Life, Roblauer, George Weston, and Bombardier Group at a total cost of 16.13 billion Canadian dollars. Polaris Capital acquired shares in Toronto-Dominion Bank, Northern Trust Bank, Deere Company, International Harvester Company and Dun & Bradstreet Group at a total cost of 2.13 billion Canadian dollars + 9.06 billion US dollars. Pacific Petroleum acquired the shares of Husky Petroleum Company, Canterlot Energy Company, Sunco Energy Group and Enbridge Gas Company at a total cost of 6.062 billion Canadian dollars. Bluestar Mining Company acquired the shares of Barrick Gold Company of Canada, Canadian Gold Company and Tektronix Resources Company of Canada at a total cost of 5.98 billion Canadian dollars. The sum of these funds is more than the total profit of 29.22 billion US dollars! However, in terms of acquisitions, not all of them use their own funds, and consortium banks are also fully used to assist in the acquisition. So the actual consumption of funds is not so large. In terms of profit, six companies including Bright Fund, Jiuding Securities, Polaris Capital, Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Fund and Galaxy Fund are also different due to their capital contributions. And the actual consumption of funds is only Bright Fund, Polaris Capital and Galaxy Fund. The other three did not participate in the acquisition. The acquisition funds of Pacific Petroleum Company and Bluestar Mining Company are all drawn from the Galaxy Fund. But for Polaris Capital and Bright Fund, Galaxy Fund also gave financial assistance, Xia Yu allocated a large amount of funds each to inject the two companies through their offshore company accounts. Xia Yu did not move the profits of the three companies of Jiuding Securities, Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund, and let the three companies take care of them. As a result, the assets of Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund have exceeded the tens of billions of dollars. The two companies also used their achievements this time to open two investment funds again, raising US$2 billion and US$2.5 billion each, both of which completed the fundraising within two days. At present, the assets under management of Bridgewater Fund have reached 12.58 billion U.S. dollars, including the company''s own assets of 3.58 billion U.S. dollars. The Tiger Fund¡¯s assets under management achieved a surpass, reaching 12.82 billion U.S. dollars, including the company¡¯s own assets of 3.47 billion U.S. dollars, more than 100 million less than the Bridgewater Fund. Finally, Xia Yu¡¯s funds in the Galaxy Fund¡¯s account were originally invested in 35 billion U.S. dollars, but after successively allocating funds to other companies, it is now only 32.4 billion U.S. dollars, a decrease of 2.6 billion U.S. dollars. However, the private liquidity of 32.4 billion US dollars is enough to give Xia Yu''s business empire sufficient security. Today is different. With the rapid expansion of his business territory this time, especially the addition of three top 100 banks in the world and two large insurance companies, his fund-raising ability has risen to a new level. Scotiabank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank of Canada, and Northern Trust Bank of the United States, the combined assets of these three banks have exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, among the banks he originally owned, the Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC Holdings, Heung Kong''s Jiuding Bank, and the United States'' Wells Fargo Bank are among the top 100 banks in the world. He controls seven of the top 100 banks in the world! In addition, he also owns a bunch of banks such as the Austrian Central Savings Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and the island country Chiba Bank. In terms of financial hard power and fund-raising ability, he is really not afraid of anyone, even if it is the financial hegemony Morgan Consortium, in the bank alone, he has enough confidence to be tough with the Morgan Consortium. Even if J.P. Morgan Bank controls more than 30 foreign banks, and the Morgan Consortium also has large banks such as the New York Trust Bank and Northwest Bank. Of course, the only thing that worries Xia Yu is that the Morgan Consortium holds shares in the Fed. If the Fed starts the money printing machine crazy printing money, no amount of money will be more than the Fed''s paper! Fortunately, the Fed is not the Morgan consortium. The Fed''s crazy money printing is also an indiscriminate attack... After sorting out, UU read Xia Yu pondered for a long time, and when he came back to his senses again, his leisurely temperament became stronger again. The phase is born from the heart, and the heart moves at will! With more confidence, Xia Yu''s mentality has naturally undergone some transformation. "However, in the second half of this year, I have to keep a low profile." After drinking a sip of tea, Xia Yu sighed and muttered to himself, looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if he could see through time and space and saw a bunch of enemy gazes. This time, the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium pushed the Chicago Consortium to attack Canada, and pointed the finger at the Rohill family. They spent a lot of thought. But the end result was that the Chicago Consortium was dismembered and the Rohill family was hit hard, but the big cake was eaten by the Bright Fund, Polaris Capital and the Mellon Consortium. As long as you search carefully, you can always find the inexhaustible traces of Xia Yu. Xia Yu can be sure that in the next six months, the major families in the world, especially the many consortia in the United States, will definitely collect information about him, Polaris Capital and Bright Fund. At this kind of time, if he continues to make big moves, he will be exposed faster, and it will be easier for secret enemies to find loopholes. So Xia Yu has made up his mind to get through the limelight in the second half of the year. In Europe and the United States, it will be low-key. It just so happens that this time I ate my mouth full of oil, and I have to digest it well, clean up the remaining tentacles of other family consortia as much as possible, and thoroughly control the acquired company. Of course, like the British privatization cake, it is still necessary to grab the cake. Although the movement will be big, it is definitely not as big as the attack on Canada this time. PS: Today is still a big chapter, it will not be divided into two chapters, I will make a close to this big story, and ask for subscription! Thanks for supporting the genuine brothers! Like you v3 Chapter 1331: Family office "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Before he knew it, Xia Yu''s powerful soldiers were no longer counted, and when he was free, he found that he could completely be the shopkeeper. Although certainly not as fast as when he himself took charge. But at the very least, healthy development and beating the market average is enough. The enthusiastic Xia Yu simply came to visit the site and went deep into each company to check the company''s situation. Of course, it is only limited to Xiangjiang''s companies. But even Xiangjiang has a lot of companies under his control. If you want to finish it all, you don''t have to think about it in a month. This is still the case of his non-stop visits to calculate the time. So Xia Yu can only go selectively. The first one I visited was Jiuding Culture Media Group. Previously, Jiuding Culture Media Group was located several floors below Jiuding Building in Kowloon, but as the group continues to develop and expand, the original venue has long been unable to accommodate it. After consulting Xia Yu, the wealthy Jiuding Cultural Group moved out and owned an entire office building. The arrival of Chairman Xia Yu, who hadn''t been here for a long time, immediately alarmed Yan Wenhan, who immediately dropped what was in his hands and hurried to Xia Yu''s front. "Chairman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." "Would you like to go to the office to sit down?" Yan Wenhan said apologetically. "No, walk with me, tell me about the current situation of the company." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and rejected Yan Wenhan''s proposal, and then ordered. "Ok." ... Jiuding Culture Media Group is now a super media giant with assets of more than 140 billion Hong Kong dollars. The biggest pillar is still Jiuding Newspaper Company, but the second most valuable is the listed Galaxy Film Company. Then in the second echelon are Jiuding Book Company, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Universal Television Station and Focus Media Co., Ltd. This Focus Media company was established in less than a year, and its internal valuation reached more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. The name was given by Xia Yu. From the very beginning, he also obtained the right to obtain resources, but it was beyond Xia Yu''s expectation to be able to develop so fast. The president of Focus Media Advertising Co., Ltd. is Chen Tianhua, a 38-year-old middle-aged man who studied at the London School of Communication in the United Kingdom. He was an outstanding Chinese recruited from the United Kingdom through Korn Ferry International. Xia Yu had heard his name, but this was the first time I saw him. After seeing Xia Yu, Chen Tianhua respectfully greeted Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan. The accompanying Yan Wenhan told Chen Tianhua: "Mr. Chen, take the chairman to walk around the company and introduce the company''s operations." "Ok." "The company has been established for less than a year, but thanks to the support of the parent company, it has acquired five advertising companies at one time at the beginning of its establishment. It has been enriched in terms of personnel and has a very high starting point. There are 1064 people..." "Thanks to the group''s resource tilt, the company''s current customers include Jiuding Real Estate Group, Bright Dairy, Master Kong Foods, Cathay Pacific, Tiangong Electronics, Tiangong Electric..." While walking, Chen Tianhua introduced the company''s situation to Xia Yu and others like a few treasures. Unknowingly, he came to the company''s financial room. Without Xia Yu''s mention, Chen Tianhua immediately asked Finance to show the company''s internal financial report for the first half of 1984. "Chairman, this is the company''s financial report for the first half of the year. Please have a look." Chen Tianhua respectfully held the financial report in both hands and handed it to Xia Yu. "Let me see how your grades are." Xia Yu directly found a stool to sit down, and read it with a smile. At this look, the corners of his mouth turned into an arc, letting Chen Tianhua, who was watching Xia Yu''s expression on his side, relax his heart, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the first half of 1984, Focus Media''s advertising company''s revenue reached 2.59 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its net profit reached 1.25 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a net profit margin of 48.3%! This is pretty scary revenue data! According to this data, even if it does not increase in the second half of the year, it will be maintained. Then Focus Media''s advertising company''s revenue will exceed 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its net profit will reach 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. If it were listed on the market, it would be worth 25 billion Hong Kong dollars based on the average price-earnings ratio of ten times! However, relying on the resources of the entire Jiuding consortium, undertaking the entire consortium¡¯s advertising business, and also relying on reputation and relationships to cooperate with other companies, this is doomed to a bright future for the Focus Media advertising company. This is the resource advantage of the consortium. Entering any industry, it can quickly snowball and grow. Once the Focus Media Advertising Company was established, the most difficult funding and business operations were all solved, and it was difficult to think about growth! "Very good results!" After putting down the financial report, Xia Yu said with appreciation. "Thank you for the compliment from the chairman. The current results are due to the resources of other companies." Although Chen Tianhua was very happy, he still said modestly. At this time, Yan Wenhan added: ¡°Chairman, Focus Media has created a lot of records in the advertising industry in Xiangjiang. For example, it became the largest advertising media company in Xiangjiang after two months of establishment.¡± Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and faintly raised Chen Tianhua: "Xiangjiang is only the starting point, and Focus Media can get a good deal in Xiangjiang, but this is just a very high starting point. I hope to see Focus Media go out of Xiangjiang and out of Asia. That day when the world shines." Chen Tianhua''s heart shuddered, and his face solemnly lowered his head and said: "Chairman, I will continue to work hard." "Ok!" "Do it hard!" Xia Yu looked at Chen Tianhua with expectation, patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly. "Wenhan, let''s go and check out other companies." ... After several days of visits, the overall situation of all companies was good, but Xia Yu also found many problems. Some were related to the corresponding company''s problems, so he pointed out the request for rectification in person. But there are some problems at the consortium level, which can only be solved by him. Others have not reached that height and have no power to solve them. On this day, Xia Yu came to Tiangong Electronics Group and met Huo Jianning again. Tiangong Electronics Group will never disappoint Xia Yu at any time. In the first half of 1984, the revenue of the entire group set a new historical record, reaching 6.778 billion US dollars. Video games and walkmans are still the biggest pillars, but the development of its subsidiary Tiangong Motorola Electronics Co., Ltd. is also very bright. This subsidiary listed the Tianmo K101 mobile phone on April 15, and then fully sold it in May. As of June, two and a half months after listing, a total of 28,243 units were sold, mostly large families and companies. The price of each is 25,000 Hong Kong dollars. So in selling mobile phones, sales reached 706 million Hong Kong dollars. Then the network access fee is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per phone, which adds 282.43 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue to HeungKong Telephone Company. Based on the current population of Xiangjiang, the per capita holding rate of mobile phones is 0.5%. Of course, this is not the case, because many consumers who buy and purchase are from Southeast Asia. At present, signal base stations have not been built throughout Southeast Asia, and some countries have not obtained licenses. However, after many wealthy people come to Xiangjiang, mobile phones can temporarily Worked. For the rich, it is only tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and they can afford it. The development of Tiangong Electronics Group made Xia Yu very satisfied, so much so that Xia Yu was considering whether to transfer Huo Jianning. After considering it for a while, Xia Yu still planned to ask Huo Jianning his own thoughts, after all, this is a matter that determines the fate of Huo Jianning''s life. So after visiting the company, Xia Yu went to Huo Jianning''s office and talked with him privately. "Jianning, you are taking care of Tiangong Electronics in an orderly manner. Your ability is beyond doubt. I intend to give you additional burdens." "But I also respect your ideas." After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu crossed his palms, looked at Huo Jianning solemnly, and said slowly. Huo Jianning subconsciously sat up straight, and said respectfully: "Chairman, please tell me, I will do my best." "Eh~" "Don''t pack your tickets. Listen to me. This matter will affect your entire life. If you agree, it will be a lifetime matter." Xia Yu waved his hand and said. Hearing what Xia Yu said, Huo Jianning''s heart was raised, and he was a lot more cautious: "Chairman, what is it?" Xia Yu slowly said, "You came from my secretary. It can be said that you are the person who knows me the most. You should know that my career is very large." Huo Jianning nodded in cooperation. He could guess that the chairman has a business outside of Xiangjiang, but he didn''t know what it was, and he didn''t want to explore it, because when he was Xia Yu''s secretary, he was just the territory of the Xiangjiang Jiuding Consortium. , Makes him very busy. It was also Xia Yu''s secretary that he knew how strong the Jiuding Consortium was. "Xiangjiang''s career is only a part of my entire career, probably accounting for about a quarter, or even less than that." Hearing this, Huo Jianning was shocked, his eyes rounded. The Jiuding Consortium actually only occupies such a proportion? My goodness! How much does the chairman hide, and how strong is his strength? At this moment, the curiosity in Huo Jianning''s heart burst instantly, and he couldn''t imagine what a concept it was! Xia Yu ignored the changes in Huo Jianning''s expression. He continued: "Before for special reasons, I didn''t want people to know, but now, the time has gradually matured." "Of course, there is also a more important reason." "At present, I can still control the whole situation for the time being, but the shortcomings are also obvious. The business is too large. I have limited energy alone. Sometimes the information is not processed in time, and the coordination and utilization of resources are not optimal." "It can be said that to a large extent the development of my career has been restricted." "So after thinking about it, I plan to establish a management organization at the top of all businesses and set up a family office that belongs to me alone to help me run all businesses well." "The members of the family office of my Xia family have two requirements, one is loyalty, and the second is ability. Once they come in, they have to serve me for life." "You are a person of good character, you are very loyal to me, and your ability is very outstanding. Whether it is understanding of the capital market, or doing secretarial work, or operating and managing a large group, your ability is excellent and comprehensive. " "So I intend to let you be the person in charge of my family office, that is, the housekeeper of my Xia family, but you will go from the front to the back of the scene." "Of course, this matter is about your love and my wishes. You are only 32 years old this year, and your life is still very long. I will not force you to make your own choice." "Don''t have a burden in your heart. Even if you don''t want to come, I will still give you enough platform to display your talents." After the heartfelt words were finished, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and leaned on the sofa, quietly watching Huo Jianning''s expression constantly change. These words of Xia Yu caused a huge psychological impact on Huo Jianning. At the same time, he was also full of gratitude to Xia Yu. The person in charge of the family office, the chief steward of the Xia family, will undoubtedly be Xia Yu''s most important confidant. He can completely imagine that in the huge business empire of Chairman Xia Yu, Xia Yu is the supreme emperor, and his status is completely the prime minister of one person and ten thousand people. Just as Xia Yu said, he had enough recognition for his loyalty and ability, and only then would he want him to hold such a position. What made his heart warmer was that Xia Yu did not force him, but gave him enough respect in a way of heart-to-heart talk, allowing him to make his own choice. If he chooses to agree, then he will get a lot, such as the lofty position in Xia Yu''s consortium, and the ability to see the deepest scenery in the world. But he will also lose a lot of things. For example, like now, the sense of accomplishment of running the Tiangong Electronics Group, the pleasure of being in the market, and the most important thing is that he and his descendants will be completely tied to Xia Yu... There are losses and gains, the key depends on how he chooses and how he wants to go in life. He has reached the most important fork in his life! "Chairman, thank you for your importance to me!" "Please wait a moment, I want to think about it now." Huo Jianning stood up, bowed respectfully to Xia Yu and said A trace of satisfaction flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and raised his hand to signal him to sit down: "Well, I should think about it, I Not urgent." "Thank you Chairman!" After thanking Xia Yu again, Huo Jianning sat down and lowered his head to think. About ten minutes later... Huo Jianning raised his head abruptly, his gaze has become very firm, he said firmly to Xia Yu: "Chairman, I have already thought about it, my life will be handed over to you!" "It was you who cultivated me and gave me today''s achievements. You have the kindness of knowing and recreating me. I can''t repay your kindness. I am willing to do my best to serve your family!" After speaking, Huo Jianning stood up again, bowed to Xia Yu ninety degrees, and kept the bowing posture unchanged. A gratified smile appeared on Xia Yu''s face. "Good, good, good!" "I read you right." "Jianning, get up." Xia Yu happily said three good times and stretched out his hands to help him up. "Thank you Chairman!" "Jianning, you can find a candidate as soon as possible to take over your position as the president of Tiangong Electronics Group. You need to take the lead in establishing the family office as soon as possible." "Chairman, please give me three days. I will finally test the various aspects of the company''s senior executives to see who is more suitable. If there is no suitable person, I need to ask you to transfer someone here. "Huo Jianning said steadily. "Okay, do what you want." Xia Yu said with a smile, let go and let Huo Jianning do it. "It''s getting late, I''ll go back first, and call me if I have something to do." "Okay, Chairman, I''ll see you off." ... PS: Please subscribe. Today is a two-in-one chapter again, regardless of chapters. Please rest early after reading, good night v3 Chapter 1332: Full moon feast "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! The family office is a private organization. Like a housekeeper, it is composed of experts in different fields and industries. It supervises and manages the financial, health, risk management, educational development and other conditions of the entire family, with the goal of helping the family succeed and develop smoothly. At the same time, the family office has fair opinions and objectivity. They integrate and coordinate the services provided by other consultants in the family to provide highly personalized services for several generations of the same family. The world''s first family office was established by John D. Rockefeller in 1882, code-named "Room 5600", known as the operating center of the Rockefeller family, and provided tremendous help to the development of the Rockefeller family. After a hundred years of development, the family office model has become the main way for rich families around the world to pass on family wealth. There are also many families in Xiangjiang who have followed suit. After all, this model is more secretive than bank investment, trust and other models. There are two basic types of family offices, which are divided into single family offices and joint family offices. The former serves only one family and is tied to a family to help the family better achieve wealth management goals, realize family management and inheritance, and protect the family''s ideas and dreams in a safe environment without conflicts of interest. The joint family office serves multiple families and has evolved into an extended model of wealth management. Compared with a single family office, the joint family office mainly focuses on profit and wealth appreciation. However, for the time being, Xia Yu believes that his strategic vision is a unique existence in the world. As the "founder of the nation" of the wise and sacred business empire, the family office only assists him. It can save him unnecessary time, check for deficiencies, and provide assistance in details. This is a bigger role. Of course, maybe after a hundred years of him, if the offspring are not as strong as him, then the main role of the family office is to help the Xia family develop on the basis of keeping it. The selection of Huo Jianning as the head of the family office is just the beginning. The family office of the Xia family also needs to set up a special family office committee, and then have special personnel serving as committee members in education, life, taxation, law, accounting, investment planning, trust, securities, insurance, funds, banking and other fields. Connect and mobilize Xia Yu''s resources in various fields. It is a tedious task to screen out qualified personnel in all aspects as retainers. However, this kind of centuries-old plan must be carried out patiently no matter how troublesome it is. It must be checked at various levels to avoid being infiltrated by hostile forces, and to avoid using the wrong people to bury huge hidden dangers. Two days later, Huo Jianning sorted out the information of the various senior executives of the Tiangong Electronics Group, and at the same time clearly marked their advantages and disadvantages, and then presented it to Xia Yu. Huo Jianning recommended Han Delin, vice president of Tiangong Electronics Group, a 43-year-old middle-aged man. Evaluation is the outstanding management ability, sufficient understanding of technology, overall view and pioneering spirit. This Handlin, Xia Yu had also contacted before, knowing that he entered the Tiangong Electronics Group through Korn Ferry International Hunting and Employment. Xia Yu did not object, and directly approved Huo Jianning''s proposal, and appointed Han Delin to replace Huo Jianning as the president of Tiangong Electronics Group. After Huo Jianning took office, Xia Yu asked him to be responsible for making a complete organizational structure and rules of the family office. This is for reference only and should be an exercise for Huo Jianning. August 6, the tenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, is an auspicious day for marriage, sacrifice, prayer, fasting, and healing... On this day, Xia Yu took Li Qian and his parents to attend the full moon feast of Xia Jun''s son. When Xia Yu and others arrived, they happened to see Xia Jun and his wife and his parents standing at the door of the hotel, smilingly welcoming the guests. After seeing Xia Yu''s family, Xia Jun hurriedly greeted everyone. "Uncle and Auntie, A Yu, Miss Li, you are here!" "Junzi, congratulations, you are now a father." "Brother Jun, congratulations!" "thanks, thanks¡­¡­" After some greetings, Xia Yu''s parents and others greeted Xia Jun''s parents again. At this time, Xia Jun''s wife Li Hanyue greeted Xia Yu with the baby in her arms. After Xia Yu responded, she asked, "What is the child''s name?" Xia Jun smiled and said, "Guangyao, the glory of Guangzong Yaozu. I asked Master Li to take it. It just happened that the child''s character lacked fire. This name made up for the fire." "Good name, Guangzong Yaozu is good!" "Haha, look, he is still looking at me, his eyes are so smart." "Xiao Guangyao, your father is now a superintendent. You have grown up and worked hard to surpass your father." "Uncle gave you a jade pendant, I wish you healthy growth." Xia Yu smiled and looked at Xiao Guangyao closely, and found that he was looking at him with innocent eyes. The child''s eyes were the most healing. After Xia Yu finished speaking, Li Qian on the side opened the box and took out the prepared emperor green Guanyin jade pendant and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu stuffed it into Xiao Guangyao''s arms. "A Yu, thank you!" "Thank you, uncle." Xia Jun and his wife were busy thanking Xia Yu. "It''s all from your own family, don''t see it like this." "Okay, let''s go in first. You will receive other people first and talk later." Xia Yu smiled and finished speaking, and took Li Qian and her parents into the hotel. The full moon banquet that Xia Jun hosted for his son was not particularly large, except for the relatives of both sides, but also some good colleagues in the police station. Xia Yu saw Li Junxia. Only after Xia Yu just nodded to him, he walked to another place, because Xia Lei was there, they hadn''t talked for a long time. ... It was about 1:30 before Xia''s father and Xia''s mother ended the chatter with Xia Jun''s parents, and the group sat on the extended Rolls Royce and set off for home. Only while in the car, Xia''s mother Chen Mei sighed to her husband Xia Dahai intentionally: "Junzi was promoted to superintendent in MayIn June, he added a son." "Sister-in-law and the couple have nothing to worry about in their lives. They can take their grandson with peace of mind. I won''t be able to chat with her in the future." Xia Dahai glanced at his son and Li Qian in the front row, and then said: "What''s so bad about Junzi today, in addition to being motivated by himself, it is also thanks to A Yu''s support." "Xia Hui and Yu Hong have a clear heart. Whenever you visit, they won''t entertain you warmly." Xia''s mother Chen Mei retorted: "That''s what I said, but I feel uncomfortable. Just now Hongsao asked me when to hold my grandson. I can only say wait. After all, the marriage is still unfinished. , I want to hug my grandson, I can''t decide when, hey..." ... Xia Yu, who was sitting in the front row, couldn''t hear the double reeds sung by his parents. This was irritated. Xia Yu couldn''t help but smile. He looked at Li Qian beside him, but found that her mouth was pursed, her face was a little sad, and her eyes were a little red. Xia Yudun felt distressed, thinking that Li Qian''s time in contact with her parents was longer than her, and she would definitely be affected, but she didn''t tell her. And just now, Li Qian spent most of the time with Xia Jun''s wife Li Hanyue, and she was holding Xiao Guangyao, which shows that she really likes children. Xia Yu hugged Li Qian into her arms, patted her hand gently, and whispered in her ear: "Cici, it''s coming soon." Li Qian trembled a few times, and then Xia Yu felt a flow of heat in her chest. Xia Yu sighed inwardly and made a decision in his heart. "Dad, Mom, I''m a little sleepy, and I squinted in the car for a while." "Okay, then you take a break." The car fell silent for an instant, and Xia''s father and Xia''s mother sitting in the back row looked at each other, one after another was speechless. v3 Chapter 1333: Bicycles, cars and airplanes "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! The Maldives, formerly known as the Maldives Islands, is a former British colony and the smallest country in Asia. Its land area is only 298 square kilometers, which is less than a quarter of Hong Kong. The history of the Maldives is also very chaotic, but it became completely independent in 1965 and joined the United Nations in the same year. The country implements a federal system, and the elected president is the head of state. In 1967, the British garrison left the Maldives completely, but it was still a member of the Commonwealth. In 1968, the Republic of Maldives was announced through a referendum, the Sultanate was abolished, and the religion of Confucius was established as the state religion. In previous lives, the Maldives was a world-renowned tourist destination because of its unique geographical advantages and tourism resources. The Maldives archipelago in the Indian Ocean is more than 600 kilometers away from southern India. In a sea area of ??90,000 square kilometers, there are 26 groups of natural atolls and 1192 coral islands, of which only about 200 are inhabited, but the total The population is less than 180,000. In such a small pond, there is no big dragon out of it, and it is also difficult for a flood dragon to settle down. But at any rate, the Maldives can be considered far-sighted. It used national resources to build an airport, which was renamed Male International Airport on November 11, 1981. Cathay Pacific naturally has flights to the Maldives. On this day, Xia Yu¡¯s private plane, Fengshen, landed at Male International Airport. He was greeted by the current President of the Maldives, Mumon Gayoom. There is no need for Xia Yu to notify Mumon Gayoom when he is traveling, but because he has a purpose and the private jet entering the Maldives will definitely be reported, so he simply told the Maldives clearly that he Xia Yu is coming. . As a consortium with unparalleled influence in Southeast Asia, Xia Yu stomps his feet to make a small country like the Maldives set off a huge wave, and a little bit of fingertips is enough to support the Maldives. You know, the gross national product of the Maldives last year was just over 50 million U.S. dollars, and the per capita GDP was only more than 200 U.S. dollars! It''s so pitiful! Therefore, after learning that Xia Yu was coming, Mumeng Gayoom called high-level meetings for five times and exhorted the airport to do a good job of service work. At the same time, he also halved the only 1,000 troops in the Maldives. Come to maintain stability and ensure Xia Yu''s safety. It can be said that Xia Yu is the most distinguished guest to be welcomed by the Maldives! Soon, the plane landed. After the hatch opened, Xia Yu walked out with Li Qian and Xiandi, condescendingly saw Mumon Gayoom and others lined up to welcome him. Xia Yu chuckled and said in the ears of Li Qian and Sandy: "The next one is Mumon Gayoom, let''s go down." After speaking, Xia Yu took the lead and walked down the stairs. "Mr. Xia, I am Mumon Gayoom. I only represent the Maldives. Welcome you!" Mumon Gayoom gave Xia Yu a very important greeting. Of course Xia Yu lost the index and responded with a smile: "Mr. President, thank you for your welcome. I am very honored!" "I feel the enthusiasm of the Maldives, and I believe that my journey will be very enjoyable." Mumon Gayoom¡¯s smile became more enthusiastic: ¡°It will definitely be, and the people of Maldives will welcome you with the highest respect.¡± Then, he greeted the two girls, Li Qian and Xiandi, who walked down: "Two beautiful ladies, welcome you." ... Lunch is at the level of a state banquet. For Mumon Gayoom, Xia Yu¡¯s identity and influence are tantamount to being at the level of a country¡¯s leader, no matter how important it is. The Maldives is an island country with rich marine resources. The main ingredients of the state banquet are all kinds of seafood, plus some local special agricultural products. Although it is far less luxurious than the Manchu Banquet that Xia Yu tasted when he was received on the mainland, it was considered full of sincerity. Enjoying a lunch with the characteristics of Maldivian food culture and admiring the local folk dance of Maldives, this lunch can be described as a delight for the guests. After lunch, Xia Yu and others were still full of spirits. Instead of going for a nap, they planned to stroll around Male Island, the capital of the Maldives. Mumon Gayoom turned off all work, accompanied Xia Yu throughout the process, and acted as a guide in person. But of course Xia Yu didn''t come to the Maldives to play. After getting a rough idea of ??the current situation in the Maldives, he knew it in his heart. At this time, the tourism industry in the Maldives has not yet risen, and the dense coral islands have not yet been developed. Thinking about the current situation in Southeast Asia, it is also normal. After all, compared with developed countries in Europe and America, Southeast Asia is undoubtedly the countryside, even if there are a few bright cities, they are only a few. Regardless of whether it is for European and American countries or for Southeast Asian countries, the Maldives is very small, and the only marine tourism resources that can be obtained are not comparable to Hawaii and other places. The rich will naturally not travel to the Maldives. In the future, the tourism industry in the Maldives can be said to have supported half of the country. Anyone who has been to the Maldives knows that the streets and alleys are visible, and there are Chinese advertisements everywhere. The Maldives has been occupied by mainland advertisers! But now, the tourism industry has just started, and even the most basic facilities, roads, hotels, transportation, living materials, etc., still have many shortcomings, which are simply not enough to support the leap-forward development of the Maldives. Seeing this situation Xia Yu was happy instead. "Mr. President, now the largest pillar industry in the Maldives is still fishing, right?" When he walked to the beach, stepped on the golden sand, and looked at the fishing boats on the blue sea, Xia Yu tilted his head slightly and asked softly. Mumon Gayoom said truthfully: "Yes, the fishing industry still accounts for the largest proportion." He then added: "However, the growth rate of the tourism industry has jumped to the first place, and I believe it will surpass the contribution of fisheries in the near future." When he said this, Mumeng Gayoom also looked at Xia Yu deliberately, and he deliberately told Xia Yu what he said. Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled lightly and pointed out the key points: "It is possible, but I still can''t tell how many years it is. After all, the various foundations of Maldives are too weak." "There are many islands in Southeast Asia. As long as any country such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines is willing to invest resources to start tourism, the Maldives will not be competitive." Mumon Gayoom smiled reluctantly. After a moment of silence, he said: "But these countries have not paid attention to it. In Southeast Asia, only we, the Maldives, have a clear goal of developing tourism." Xia Yu walked along the beach unhurriedly, still calmly and calmly: "This is the only advantage of your Maldives." "But sometimes, the one who starts first may not be the first to reach the end." "Because you only have one pair of sneakers, and others ride bicycles, motorcycles, and cars." "Even... by plane!" Hearing this, Li Qian and Xiandi, who accompanied Xia Yu, couldn''t help but couldn''t help but because Mumon Gayoom was by the side, they both resisted. PS: Starting on the 29th, the monthly pass will be doubled. Everyone has a vote for the monthly pass. Thank you. v3 Chapter 1334: Maldives Vision "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Xia Yu''s words were so lethal that Mumon Gayoom couldn''t refute it. The reality is so cruel. Compared with the big countries in Southeast Asia, the Maldives has a huge gap in terms of land area, population, economic level, natural resources, and so on. Xia Yu is right. It is not something to be proud of that Maldives develop tourism first, because this is the path that Maldives has no choice. For countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, they now have many industries that are more suitable for revitalizing their own economy than the tourism industry, such as the simplest ones, selling oil and minerals. Selling a few million barrels of oil at random will exceed the overall gross national product of the Maldives. As long as these countries are willing to smash resources now, the little advantage that Maldives has now can be wiped out in an instant and thrown to the sky. Mumon Gayoom, whose sense of crisis and frustration was rising, understood Xia Yu''s intentions, and he lowered his posture a lot. "Mr. Xia, the Maldives has a weak foundation, but we have the most determined heart. If you can invest in the Maldives, we will do our best to serve you and protect your interests." Hearing Mumon Gayoom¡¯s words and looking at his expectant gaze, Xia Yu smiled indifferently: "Mr. President, I can feel your sincerity, but it¡¯s not anxious whether to invest in specifics and how much to invest. Wait for me to walk around again." Without an affirmative answer, Mumen Gayoom looked a little sad, but he quickly cheered up again and cheered up to be Xia Yu¡¯s guide: "Yes, investment must be prudent, and I will show you more about it. Maldives." ... In the afternoon, Xia Yu and others basically strolled around in the Maldives¡¯ capital Male¡¯ and the surrounding residential islands. At present, nearly 180,000 residents of the Maldives are distributed on more than 100 residential islands. Among them, the capital Male¡¯ alone has a population of 100,000. Many residential islands have only a few households and all are fishermen. There are nearly a thousand islands that are uninhabited. The larger residential islands are also very backward in development. Even the capital Male, you can see littering on the ground, cluttered streets, and so on. To develop tourism well, it is necessary for the Maldives to formulate detailed measures at the national level to rectify and reform from various aspects such as transportation, environment, and health. Only in this way, at least with the arrival of low- and middle-end tourists, the homestay industry in Maldives can develop, thereby driving catering services, merchandise sales and other industries for the benefit of local people. Of course, Xia Yu doesn''t bother to compete with them for this low-end market. He also wants to do the high-end market. It''s just that Xia Yu really invests here, so these basic conditions in the Maldives must be improved, and Mumon Gayoom must cooperate well. On the second or third day, Xia Yu was completely playing, and he drove out the light bulb of Mumon Gayoom. Yacht fishing, beach barbecue, coral reef snorkeling and other activities have completely relaxed the body and mind of Xia Yu, Xiandi, and Li Qian. This carefree and comfortable life makes people intoxicated. These coral reef islands in the Maldives have not yet been extensively developed, and the following five-star, six-star, and seven-star island ratings do not even exist. The island that has not been artificially transformed, although not as luxurious as later generations, but the most primitive scenery is crafted by nature, and has a unique charm. In the afternoon of the third day. Xia Yu, Li Qian, and Sandi wore cool beach pants and bikinis and sat on the white and soft beach named Tranquility Island in later generations. The afterglow of the setting sun poured on the blue-green sea, the sea water gently surging, and the slightly cool sea breeze with a salty smell was blowing on the faces of the three of them. Suddenly, in the sky not far away, a seagull rushed into the sea like a missile. A string of white bubbles floated. When the seagull came out again not far away, there was already a red fish in its mouth, and the fish was weak. Sadly flicking his tail, trying to break free, but all this was in vain. The strong eating of the weak is an everlasting natural law in this world. Xia Yu looked at Xiandi and Li Qian on the left and right, and said with a faint smile, "Do you like this place?" "I like it very much, no one is bothered, and being able to get close to nature without scruples, I feel that my soul has been sublimated." "I also like it very much. If you come here when you are in a bad mood, you will definitely be healed. This place can give you complete peace of mind." Sandy and Li Qian sighed sincerely. "Then buy it." Xia Yu said with a light smile, looking at the two with soft eyes. Sandy and Li Qian both showed happy smiles. ... The fourth day in the Maldives. As soon as Xia Yu and others finished their breakfast, they learned that the bodyguards reported that President Mumon Gayoom had come again. Xia Yu immediately asked him to come in. "Mr. Xia, good morning!" "Mr. President, welcome, please sit down!" After Mumon Gayoom sat down, Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. President, I have visited the Maldives in the past few days. Would you like to hear my truest evaluation?" Mumeng Gayoom, who had just leaned on the sofa, immediately sat up straight, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, and said, "Of course, it is my honor." Xia Yu slowly said: "The advantages and disadvantages of the Maldives are obvious. The advantage is that it has abundant tourism resources, but the disadvantage is that the foundation is weak." "If I want to invest here, the resources invested will be huge, otherwise the scale effect will not be formed." Mumon Gayoom nodded in agreement Continue to look at Xia Yu, waiting for his next words. Xia Yu continued: "You should know something about me. The total population of the Maldives is less than 180,000, and the total number of employees in my company far exceeds the population of your country." "When I do business, I either don''t do it, or just make it bigger. It''s not my style to make a small mess." Mumon Gayoom''s eyes were shining, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "It''s good to be big. With Mr. Xia''s pattern, it is destined to do big things." "Then Mr. Xia, how do you plan to invest?" The flattery of a president of a country did not make Xia Yu''s mood fluctuate in the slightest. Xia Yu still said unhurriedly: "Mr. President, the key is not how I invest, but whether you want to accept my investment." "You first listen to my ideas and conditions." Mumon Gayoom''s heart shuddered, and the palms of his palms suddenly sweated. He scratched his clothes and solemnly said, "Please speak." Xia Yu launched his own vision: "First, I will plan the Maldives'' capital, Male, to create a commercial area integrating residence, shopping and entertainment, and to improve the overall tourist reception capacity of the Maldives." "Secondly, the Maldives aviation market accepts my transformation and is divided into two parts. Male International Airport accepts capital injection and expansion, and Maldives Airlines accepts capital injection." "Third, I will establish an island development and operation company, and the Maldives government will hand over the development and operation rights of all islands to the company." "Fourth, permanently transfer some islands to me, and I will build a private resort here." "These are all my ideas and conditions, Mr. President, what do you think?" PS: Double the time of the monthly pass, remember to vote if you have a vote v3 Chapter 1335: Bind 1 small country "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! Mumon Gayoom was embarrassed, his face changed constantly, and his heart struggled fiercely. Of Xia Yu''s four conditions, the first one is pros and cons. Xia Yu paid for the construction of a city in the Maldives, but Mumon Gayoom was stupid and refused to agree. But the second and third conditions have caused tremendous pressure on him. The Male International Airport was built by the entire Maldives in the past and is a state-owned asset. If it accepts Xia Yu¡¯s capital injection, although it can be upgraded quickly, there will definitely be opposition in the country. As for Maldives Airlines, if it also accepts capital injection and if its operating rights are taken away, then it can be said that the most important lifeline of Maldives to the outside world will be held by Xia Yu. The third condition is more difficult than the second. This is the monopoly that requires the development of islands in the Maldives. If this is taken away, the power of the Maldives Tourism Board will shrink by more than half. The most important thing is that the national policy of the Maldives for the development of tourism is completely bound by Xia Yu. There is no room for maneuver in the future, and Xia Yu has to follow Xia Yu to the end. Compared with the second and third conditions, the fourth condition is trivial. The islands of the Maldives can be bought and sold in the first place. In the strategy of developing tourism in the Maldives, there are clear terms for buying and selling islands. There are thousands of uninhabited islands in the Maldives, which cannot be developed or eaten. If they can be sold to the rich, they will be able to get the contacts of the rich. This is a way to gain fame. Although Xia Yu only talked about some islands, did not specify the number, and did not choose the target object, but in Mumon Gayoom''s opinion, there is no problem, a good thing! Of course, in the 21st century, tourism in the Maldives has developed, and the sale of laying hens such as the permanent sale of islands to foreign countries will no longer be done. It has become only renting but not selling. After Mumon Gayoom struggled for a long time, he still couldn''t make a decision. After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, can you please tell me more about the development of Maldives. What?" "of course!" Xia Yu responded easily and said: "First of all, it is the urban complex. My Jiuding Real Estate Group is the largest real estate development company in Southeast Asia and has world-class infrastructure capabilities. It will be responsible for the construction and transformation of Mal¨¦." "As for electricity, transportation, etc., Xiangjiang is also operating independently. My company can give the Maldives the best plan." "Retail, hotel, medical, education, banking, etc., my corresponding company is the best in Xiangjiang, so all the supporting facilities and shops of the urban complex are available, and I can solve them all." "The largest Cathay Pacific group in Southeast Asia is mine. It has the most comprehensive experience in airport operations and aviation operations, and at the same time the best resources. Once docked with the Maldives, it can maximize the flow of traffic to the Maldives." "For tourism development, my Xiangjiang Tourism Investment Group is the largest tourism investment and development company designated by the Hong Kong government. It has built many famous scenic spots in Hong Kong and their operations have been very successful." "So after setting up an island development and operation company in the Maldives, there is no need to worry about operating experience." "For some high-quality islands, they will definitely be used to build five-star or even six-star hotels. My Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group is the largest hotel group in Southeast Asia, so you can rest assured." "Starting from all aspects, the investment in the first phase will reach at least US$500 million, which is ten times the current gross national product of your Maldives!" "Exactly enough for the Maldives to take off." ... Listening to Xia Yu''s account, Mumen Gayoom''s doubts and worries gradually disappeared, and he was gradually persuaded by Xia Yu''s reasons. But he still has to go back and persuade others to get their support. "Mr. Xia, thank you for your notification. In the general direction, I am consistent with you, but I still need to go back and convince others." When saying this, Mumon Gayoom was very sincere. Xia Yu nodded in understanding: "I can understand, but I have to return to Xiangjiang tomorrow. If you can give me a rough answer, then I will arrange for someone to come over and talk to you in detail." Mumon Gayoom looked serious and worried. He nodded and said: "Mr. Xia, I will call them for a meeting now when I go back, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." "Then Mr. Xia, I won''t bother you for now." After speaking, Mumon Gayoom stood up and prepared to leave. Xia Yu didn''t want to stay, but also got up to see him off. When they walked to the door, the two shook hands again. Xia Yudan said with a smile: "Mr. President, if cooperation can be reached, besides the Maldivian government, the local area needs a strong partner. If the funds are not enough, my bank can also provide it. Credit." Mumon Gayoom''s face changed slightly, and his smile became brighter: "Mr. Xia, I will try my best to promote our cooperation." "Mr. President, I believe in your abilities!" Xia Yu smiled. Later, after seeing Mumon Gayoom getting in the car, Xia Yu decisively turned back inside the house. "Xia Yu, how is it?" "Did he agree?" After coming in, Sandy just came over and asked curiously, blinking. "This kind of win-win-win thing, he will not refuse." "Whether it''s for his family or the Maldives, he has no reason to refuse, haha." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. "Come on, Cici, come together, which islands do you like, come and choose." ... The fact is as Xia Yu thought. After returning, Mumon Gayoom was very active in persuading others. They do not know where the Maldives tourism will develop in the future, nor do they know that tourism will account for 60 to 70% of the Maldives¡¯ gross national product contribution rate, and taxation will account for 90%. They will never know that in more than 30 years, the Maldives'' gross national product will be one hundred times what it is now! Precisely because of ignorance, their interests now seem insignificant in the face of Xia Yu''s first half-million dollar investment. In the end, the majority agreed to let Maldives cooperate with Xia Yu. That night, Mumon Gayoom informed Xia Yu, and at the same time tentatively asked how much Xia Yu was willing to give to the local collaborators in Maldives. Early the next morning, Xia Yu''s Fengshen took off and flew to Xiangjiang. At the same time, a negotiating team from Xiangjiang immediately set off for the Maldives. They had to negotiate and cooperate thoroughly with the Maldives government within ten days. In fact, it took only seven days for the two parties to sign a comprehensive agreement. First, a series of companies including Jiuding Property Group have jointly invested US$250 million in Male¡¯. Second, Male International Airport received a US$25 million capital injection from Cathay Pacific Airways Group, and Cathay Pacific Airways Group holds 51% of the shares. Third, Maldives Airlines accepted a US$40 million capital injection from Cathay Pacific Airways Group, and Cathay Pacific Airways Group holds 60% of the shares. Fourth, the establishment of the Maldives Islands Development and Operation Company. The government handed over the development and operation rights of 992 islands to the Maldives Islands Development and Operation Company. The Maldives government owns 40% of the shares; Xiangjiang Tourism Investment Group invested 200 million US dollars, accounting for%. Fifty-seven shares; Solar Investment Company invested 10 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 3% of the shares. Fifth, sixteen islands including Tranquility Island, Abdu Island, Kandolu Island, Soneva Jani Island, Nautilus Island, and Narada Island will be permanently transferred to Xia Yu at a price of US$10 million. Finally, there is a subsidiary condition, that is, Jiuding Bank will set up a branch in Maldives, and all funds will be transferred through Jiuding Bank. After everything was negotiated, Xia Yu, who was far away in Xiangjiang, immediately asked six of the sixteen private islands to be transformed and designed, and his resort must be established as soon as possible. PS: Ask for subscription and monthly pass v3 Chapter 1336: The achievements and difficulties of Hong Kongs economy (2 in 1 big "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter! After Xia Yu returned to Xiangjiang, Huo Jianning handed over the organizational structure and other plans of the family office he made to Xia Yu for review. After Xia Yu made changes, he began to implement the plan. As for the candidates for the family office, Xia Yu has a preliminary candidate for a long time, and has an internal intelligence system. He can know the detailed information of any person, including family members, hobbies, personality characteristics, loyalty level, and so on. So it only took more than ten days to return to Xiangjiang. After interviewing a lot of people, Xia Yu finally built the skeleton of the family office. After the family office was able to operate simply, Xia Yu''s first small task to Huo Jianning was to collect the information of global luxury yacht manufacturing companies and make an analysis of each company. Only the initial invocation of consortium resources has demonstrated high efficiency. It only took less than two days to complete the task. On this day, Xia Yu was drinking afternoon tea at home, and Huo Jianning brought the results. "Chairman, good afternoon, this is the information you asked me to collect, please have a look!" Before sitting down on the sofa, Huo Jianning took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it and said with a smile: "Well, Jianning, sit down." "Ok." After Huo Jianning had to sit down, the servant immediately poured tea for him. Xia Yu looked at the information Huo Jianning had brought. Italy''s RIVA Yacht Company, Italy''s Wally Yacht Company, France''s Bernardo Group, American Bytime Company, British Princess Yacht Company, Netherlands Pedistar Yacht Company, Italy Azimut Yacht Company, Italy Ferretti Group, Italy Pershing Yacht Company , Sunseeker Yacht Company,... At first glance, Xia Yu was a little surprised. He did not expect that the luxury yacht industry, the top ten in the world, turned out to be Italy occupies half of the country. Then Britain, France, the United States and the Netherlands have a certain degree of influence. The most well-known of China in the previous life was the British Sunseeker Yacht Company, which was taken over by Wanda for 300 million pounds. However, after Xia Yu read the information, PASS dropped. The British Sunseeker Yacht Company started in 1968 and has only developed for more than ten years. Although it has squeezed into the top ten in the world, there is still a certain gap between the technology of yacht building and the established enterprises of hundreds of years. The most important thing is that in the construction of super luxury yachts, the gap is definitely greater. After browsing for the last time, Xia Yu focused on the Italian RIVA Yacht Company. This yacht manufacturing company originated from the beautiful Lake Como in Italy. It was founded in 1842 and has a glorious history of 142 years. Riva is also one of the oldest, most legendary, and most expensive brands in the world''s yachting industry, and it is globally recognized as the "Rolls Royce" of yachts. It just so happened that more than twenty years ago, Carlo Riva, the third-generation heir of RIVA Yachts, sold the company to Whitacre in the United States, so the most uncertain sentiment level no longer exists and is very suitable for harvesting. In recent years, due to environmental factors, not only the large-scale ships are not easy to sell, and the large-scale shipbuilding companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. Even the yacht-building companies have had a hard time, and the operation of RIVA Yacht Company is not good. The analysis team analyzed that the acquisition difficulty and cost of RIVA Yacht Company will not be too high. Xia Yu immediately ordered the Bright Fund to let the Rolls-Royce Motor Group acquire RIVA Yacht Company. I still remember that in 1990, the Rolls-Royce Group wholly acquired RIVA Yachts... Under the Jin Yuan offensive, the acquisition was completed in just 13 days. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group invested 42 million US dollars to fully acquire the equity of RIVA Yacht Company. The first thing after the completion of the acquisition is to execute the order issued by Xia Yu and immediately set out to design and build a super luxury yacht, and at the same time build a batch of small and medium-sized yachts. He will use it next year. Although this time is in a hurry, it can still be completed with the shipbuilding capabilities of RIVA Yacht Company. ... On this day, Xia Yu took the initiative to ask Xia Yu to visit the film and television city of Galaxy Film Company. Of course Xia Yu would not refuse. Only when Xia Yu brought Li Qian and He, and after meeting with Sandy, he unexpectedly found one more person. The slim girl beside Sandi was Sumitomo Kumiko who hadn''t seen her for a long time. And interestingly, Sumitomo Kumiko did not wear a kimono, but just like Sandi, she wore a light green tunic skirt. Sandi wore a light orange full-chested skirt. The two girls stood there with their eye-catching eyes and attracted many people around them to stop. "Xia Yujun, long time no see!" "Sister Li Qian, Sister Chao Qiong, long time no see!" "Kumiko, when did you come to Xiangjiang, why didn''t you tell me in advance?" "What a surprise." The three of Xia Yu chatted with Sumitomo Kumiko enthusiastically. Sumitomo Kumiko seemed to be infected, and his faces were full of happy smiles. During this chat, Xia Yu knew that Sumitomo Kumiko had arrived yesterday, and at Sandy¡¯s kind invitation, Sumitomo Kumiko will live in the same villa with Sandy in the future, and there will be some lively companions. Xia Yu also learned that Sandi had contacted Sumitomo Kumiko after returning to Xiangjiang from the Maldives. And the reason why Sumitomo Kumiko came to meet Sandi now is because the Sumitomo family spent more than half a month to make a decision. The Sumitomo family understands Xiangjiang''s development strategy and plans to establish a Sumitomo Chemical branch in Xiangjiang, so that Sumitomo Kumiko will be employed in the company. When Sumitomo Kumiko said this, Xia Yu obviously felt that Li Qian and He''s eyes flickered a few times. However, Xia Yu observed carefully and found that Sumitomo Kumiko''s eyes were a little different. This couldn''t help making him a little big head. He has obviously become a sweet pastry, and old Mellon''s mind is clear. Even the Sumitomo family has let go of their worries, this is to continue to use his beauty strategy. But he and Sumitomo Kumiko are indeed friends, and they can talk, so they can only go one step at a time. After a brief chat, the group got in the car and headed to the film and television city of Galaxy Film Company. Compared with Shaw''s film and television city and Song City built by Qiu Degen, the film and television city built by Yinhe Film Company has lost its capital. The antique buildings are beautifully built on the site, which deeply restores the ancient architectural characteristics. Everything in the film and television city made the women feel very novel, and there were laughter and laughter from the women everywhere. These images were permanently recorded on film by the photographer who followed, and they will be washed out as a souvenir. The arrival of Sumitomo Kumiko made Xia Yu''s life a little bit different, but soon everyone became accustomed to it. The life after work has been enriched, and the work has not fallen behind. ... On this day, when Xia Yu was discussing the improvement of the home office with Huo Jianning, Governor Su Xingjian came to visit Xia Yu again. He also bought some fruits to show his etiquette. After becoming the head of Xia Yu''s family office, Xia Yu''s huge business empire gradually revealed its mystery to Huo Jianning. What he first understood was the Xiangjiang Jiuding Consortium. It was just after understanding him that he knew that the reason why Hong Kong Governor Su Xingjian united with Xia Yu was that he was helped by Xia Yu. Regardless of the official identity, Su Xingjian''s identity is actually the same as him, in fact, he can be regarded as Xia Yu''s subordinate. It''s just that because of the official status granted by the British government on Suhang Fitness, face work is still to be done. After a few words of greeting, seeing that Xia Yu didn''t let Huo Jianning leave, and that Huo Jianning''s identity was reduced as the person in charge of his family office, Su Xingjian would naturally understand. Therefore, he did not evade, and took the initiative to inform him: "Mr. Xia, I am visiting you this time mainly because I want to tell you about the development status of Xiangjiang and the difficulties encountered." This is official. Xia Yu was slightly surprised, with a faint smile on his mouth, and said, "Please tell me." Only then did Su Xingjian continue: "Let¡¯s talk about several livelihood projects proposed in January this year." "The construction of several public universities is very fast. At present, the main teaching buildings have been built, and most of the frameworks have been set up. Next year, it will definitely start enrolling students." "In terms of public rental housing, most of the plan to launch 100,000 units has been completed. At present, 67,000 public rental housing units have been launched. In the next three months, the launch of 100,000 units is not a problem." "Medical and health aspects..." Following Su Xingjian''s detailed description, the current livelihood development of Xiangjiang has a clear impression in Xia Yu''s mind. Overall, the development is very good. Especially after the subway company was taken over by Xia Yu, the Hong Kong government''s financial pressure on transportation construction has been much smaller, and the recovered funds have also been inclined to the people''s livelihood field. This is the important reason why Xiangjiang''s people''s livelihood and well-being construction has been significantly more effective this year than in previous years. After talking about people''s livelihood and welfare, Su Xingjian turned the topic to economic development, which is the cornerstone of Xiangjiang''s various developments. The core content is Heung Kong''s long-term development strategy-one core and six pillars. Although this long-term development strategy was developed during the MacLehose period, Su Xingjian knew very well that Xia Yu was behind the scenes. Therefore, this long-term development strategy is Xia Yu''s development framework for Xiangjiang. Now that he embraced Xia Yu''s thighs, Su Xingjian naturally didn''t do anything new. He took over MacLehose''s political legacy and fully promoted the development of this strategy. "Mr. Xia, this is the internal data of Xiangjiang''s economic development, mainly for the analysis of seven industries, one core and six pillars." With that said, Su Xingjian took out an economic development report from his bag and handed it to Xia Yu. "Ok, I''ll take a look first." Xia Yu responded, took the report and spread it on the desktop, said something to Huo Jianning, read it together, and then browsed it. In the first half of the year, Hong Kong¡¯s gross national product was 198.494 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 32.54 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 42.1% compared with the first half of last year. Among the seven industries of financial services, trade and logistics, electronics and high-tech industries, heavy machinery manufacturing, petrochemical industries, health industries, and tourism and entertainment, the contributions to the Hong Kong economy are as follows: The biggest contributor is still the trade and logistics industry, which contributes as much as 27.9%, and the industry''s added value is 55.38 billion Hong Kong dollars. Ranked second is the heavy machinery manufacturing industry, with a contribution of up to 22.3%, and the industry''s added value of 44.264 billion Hong Kong dollars. The third-ranked electronics and high-tech industries accounted for 19.5% of the contribution, and the industry added value was 38.706 billion Hong Kong dollars. Ranked fourth is the financial services industry, with a contribution of up to 17.7%, and the industry''s added value of 35.133 billion Hong Kong dollars. These four pillar industries add up to a contribution of 87.4%, which is more than four-fifths. It is the first tier of industry. And the other three pillars of the six pillars, although the growth rate is more obvious than before, but the development is relatively slow. The fifth place is the tourism and entertainment industry, with a contribution of 2.4%, and the industry''s added value of 4.763 billion Hong Kong dollars. The sixth largest is the health industry, with a contribution of 1.7%, and the industry''s added value of 3.374 billion Hong Kong dollars. Ranked seventh is the petrochemical industry, with a contribution of 0.9%, and the industry''s added value of 1.786 billion Hong Kong dollars. Together, these seven industries have contributed 92.4% of the entire Xiangjiang¡¯s economic development, which is no small amount. It can be seen that the strategy of "one core and six pillars" put forward by Xia Yu a few years ago has achieved remarkable results. Although the tourism and entertainment industry, the health industry, and the petrochemical industry seem to be dragging their feet, the financial services industry, electronics and high-tech industries, and heavy machinery manufacturing industries are developing by leaps and bounds! You know, a few years ago, Hong Kong''s trade and logistics industry contributed as much as 50 to 60%. now what? In just a few years, it was shot down by half, only 27.9%. This shows that the development of Xiangjiang has evolved from being extremely dependent on trade and logistics to having multiple pillar industries. This means that Xiangjiang''s economic development is more balanced and stable, which is conducive to social development. The reason for this achievement can also be seen to be the credit of Xia Yu. For example, the two industries of electronics and high-tech industries and heavy machinery manufacturing industries rely on the Tiangong Group. UU reading The main contributions came from the Tiangong Electronics Group and the Tiangong Automobile Group respectively, and then the industrial chain surrounding them. It can be said that it is a Tiangong Group, which has supported almost half of the Xiangjiang economy! This is how a super large manufacturing company can help a region''s economy! If Xiangjiang does not have the Tiangong Group and the industrial chain driven by it, then the contribution of Xiangjiang''s trade and logistics industry will reach more than 50%! This is the normal level of Xiangjiang''s economy before! As for the financial services industry, the growth rate has been relatively large in recent years. Although the contribution does not seem to account for as much as the other three industries, it is because the Xiangjiang economy has a large plate, so the proportion is small. If you want to see the real development of the financial services industry, you should not look at this, but by analyzing the industry separately, you can see from the line graph that the development is progressing by leaps and bounds. Xia Yu is both satisfied and dissatisfied with the current economic development. In his opinion, the contribution of the best industries is the seven major industries, all of which are more than ten percent! To achieve this goal, the only way is to make up for the shortcomings! Petrochemical industry, big health industry and tourism and entertainment industry! What Xia Yu didn''t expect was that the difficulty Su Xingjian said was that he didn''t know how to develop these three industries, so he came to Xia Yu for help! This made Xia Yu deeply gratified. Su Xingjian is a good governor! PS: Kavenka was so ecstatic that he almost wanted to take time off tonight. Suddenly an ideal boss came from outside and hit a leader, leaving me no way out.

It¡¯s miserable. v3 Chapter 1337: Xiangjiang Oil Market Chapter 1336 Xiangjiang Oil Market (first more seeking subscription) "Mr. Xia, in terms of policies, the Hong Kong government has given a lot of support to these three industries, but in the final analysis, market players still need to play a supporting role." "The Hong Kong government has been actively inviting investment, but in these major industries, foreign giants are not interested, and local capital investment is relatively small, so it is difficult to see results." "Especially the petrochemical industry, since Hong Kong determined its development strategy, it has been severely constrained. They are all from Star City. In the face of Star City''s competition, it is difficult for Xiangjiang to attract investment from giants." Su Xingjian finished talking about the difficulties, and looked at Xia Yu helplessly. The market economy is like this. The government can only play a guiding and auxiliary role. In the final analysis, it depends on whether capital is willing to invest. If capital is unwilling, then it will be on the wax. Among these three industries, the petrochemical industry has the greatest potential. However, the economic added value in the first half of the year is only HK$1.786 billion, and it will be more than HK$3 billion in the whole year, except for a series of small-scale investment companies with local capital. , Which is the contribution of the gas station market. It is not that the Hong Kong government is not working hard, it is that Star City is too insidious. It uses its market position and advantages to continue to sabotage Xiangjiang and make international oil giants give up investment in Xiangjiang. This is to stifle the petrochemical market of Hong Kong at the very beginning stage and avoid future competition. "Mr. Xia, today I specially brought over the development report of Star City''s petrochemical industry, which I specially asked for investigation." Speaking, Su Xingjian took out another document and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn''t say much, and read the report after receiving the report. The current status of the petrochemical industry in Star City was gradually learned by Xia Yu. Star City, which is smaller than Xiangjiang, has almost no mineral and petroleum resources. At this time, it is already a famous refining country in Asia, ranking first in Asia and third in the world, second only to Houston in the United States and Rotterdam in the Netherlands. . Star City¡¯s oil refining industry has become one of the main pillars of Star City¡¯s economic achievements. It currently accounts for 37% of Star City¡¯s entire industrial output value, and petroleum product exports account for one third of Star City¡¯s total exports! All of this has to be talked about more than 20 years ago. In 1960, Star City had almost just obtained autonomy, thinking about finding a suitable development path for Star City based on its own situation. At that time, the Star City government adopted the industrialization plan designed by the Dutch economist Albert Winsmin¡¯s team, and developed the petrochemical industry as a pillar industry. Under the guidance of this industrial plan, Star City introduced the first batch of large multinational oil giants to land, such as Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company which entered in 1961, British Petroleum Company which entered in 1964, and Exxon Oil Company which entered in 1966. . Then in 1973, there was a very crucial step, that is, Star City Development Bank, BP and Caltex, a subsidiary of Chevron, jointly invested in the establishment of Star City Refining Company that year. Currently, Star City Refinery has five refineries, which belong to Star City Shell Petroleum Company and Star City Exxon Petroleum Company. Star City Mobile Petroleum Company, Star City Refining Company and BP. Among the five major oil refineries, the highest production capacity is Star City Shell Petroleum Company, with a daily refining capacity of 440,000 barrels, followed by Star City Exxon Oil Company¡¯s 225,000 barrels per day, and Star City Mobile Petroleum Company¡¯s 200,000 barrels per day. Star City Refining Company¡¯s 155,000 barrels per day and BP¡¯s 25,000 barrels per day. Total 1.045 million barrels/day! For the whole year, it is 380 million barrels/year, which is equivalent to 53 million tons/year of oil refining capacity! Of course, this capacity is the capacity under the condition of full capacity operation. In fact, the operating rate of the five major refineries in Star City is about 80%, which is higher than the 50% to 70% of developed countries in Europe and America. Currently, the daily oil refining capacity is about 844,000 barrels per day, of which 174,000 barrels are for domestic consumption, 340,000 barrels are for export, and 330,000 barrels are processed for Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh and other oil companies. Among the 340,000 barrels exported, the largest market is island countries, which absorbed 22% of the export value. Followed by Xiangjiang, which absorbed 18% of the export value, about 62,000 barrels per day! Even according to the current situation, Hong Kong has to import more than three million tons of oil from Star City in one year. And Xiangjiang¡¯s current oil consumption is an average of 138,000 barrels per day. It is estimated that it will reach 7 million tons throughout the year, basically relying on imports! So the oil exported by Star City to Heung Kong accounted for nearly half of Heung Kong''s oil imports! ¡­¡­ "So, last year, the value of Heung Kong''s oil imports was about 2 billion U.S. dollars?" After reading the information, Xia Yu came up with international crude oil prices and Xiangjiang¡¯s local gasoline prices in his mind. Combined with the local oil consumption of Xiangjiang last year, he calculated an answer. "Yes, in that range!" Su Xingjian nodded and said. 2 billion US dollars is not a small amount, it is 12.3 billion in Hong Kong dollars. If there is a local oil refining company in Xiangjiang that can eat this market, it will be based on a gross profit margin of 30% to 40%. means that gross profit will reach 3.69 billion-4.92 billion Hong Kong dollars! So the net profit has at least more than two billion Hong Kong dollars! Hong Kong¡¯s local oil market is enough to support an oil refining company with a market value of more than 20 billion yuan. This is only the oil refining sector, excluding the oil retail market. With the geographical advantage of Xiangjiang, at the junction of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the geographical advantage is actually equivalent to that of Star City. The most important thing is that Xiangjiang is closer to the Southeast Peninsula, closer to island countries and Taiwan Province, and backed by the mainland with endless potential in the future. The development potential of Xiangjiang¡¯s petrochemical industry is higher than that of Star City! The future generations of Star City have been firmly seated on the throne of the world''s three major oil refining centers, and Xiangjiang is also eligible to compete. As far as Xia Yu knows, the world''s top ten top oil refineries will be occupied by Asia, except for the Middle East, and South Korea will have only three. India and Star City are the only remaining ones, and South Korea¡¯s three are more than Star City¡¯s. Big. This proves that the refining market in Asia is still in an incremental market and there is still a lot of room for market competition. Although Xiangjiang has a weak foundation, there is still time and space to catch up. Only now because of Star City, it is difficult to attract international oil giants to invest in Xiangjiang. There are many big players in Hong Kong who have the strength to invest in refineries, but they all suffer from lack of technology and experience, and there are huge competition risks. The advantages in their hands are not enough to hedge the risks, so that the current situation appears. Sure enough, at the critical moment, he still has to rely on him! It happened that his Pacific Petroleum Company annexed Gulf Oil Company¡¯s refining operations in Northern Europe and Western Europe, which has stabilized after nearly half a year of integration . After ??, Xia Yu and Su Xingjian talked about the big health industry and the tourism and entertainment industry. He had a general idea in his mind, but he needed to further understand and judge. ¡­¡­ "Governor Su, I know, I will solve the development difficulties encountered by these three industries." "It''s just that the Hong Kong government''s policy support is needed at that time. I''m asking someone to contact you directly." Xia Yu took a sip of tea, said with a faint smile, and took everything over. Su Xingjian immediately relieved his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "No problem, as long as I am still in Hong Kong for a day, the Governor of Hong Kong will be able to provide full assistance." "Mr. Xia, then I won''t bother you for now, it''s fine for me to go back." "Ok." "Jianning, send Governor Su for me." "Okay, Chairman." ¡­¡­ PS: First more (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1338: Pacific Oils big hand Chapter 1337 Pacific Oil''s big hand "Jianning, I remember that the think tank conducted investigations and studies on the Xiangjiang oil market, and you arranged for someone to bring the report." "Reports on the big health industry and the tourism and entertainment industry are also here." "Official development reports are more about data, and data will also be provided to think tanks. The quality of reports is not as good as ours." After Huo Jianning sent Su Xingjian back, Xia Yu immediately gave Huo Jianning an order. "Okay, Chairman!" ¡­¡­ After working overtime, three reports arrived at Xia Yu the next day. What Xia Yu is most concerned about is the situation in the petrochemical industry. As of August, Hong Kong has imported 4.79 million tons of aviation fuel, kerosene, motor gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil in eight months... Now the petrochemical industry in Hong Kong is starting, but investment is relatively scattered, some in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, and some in other industrial parks. They are not large-scale, and they are all small refineries, and not many are put into production. The research report stated that the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is suitable for the manufacturing industry to settle in, not suitable for the development of the petroleum industry, and it has not built a well-equipped deep port for petroleum transportation. The report also pointed out that if the Xiangjiang petrochemical industry wants to form an industrial cluster and scale effect, it must first choose a good location. The current established industrial parks do not have this background. The area of ??the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park is large enough. As long as the petrochemical industry is built in the part of the park near the sea, it is feasible, but a good port needs to be built. The other direction is to separate from the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park and separate the petrochemical industry into a single park in Star City. Because the Xiangjiang River is mountainous and the issue of ship suspension has to be considered, there are not many places suitable for the development of the petrochemical industry, but it has also been selected. some places. is the source area of ??Tuen Mun District next to Yuen Long District in the New Territories, Hei Ling Chau, Cheung Chau Island and Lamma Island in outlying islands. Among the four places, the best condition is Lamma Island, which is the third largest island in Hong Kong. Although it is mountainous, it also has flat land. The sand and gravel on the mountain can also be used for land reclamation. The sea area around Lamma Island is wide enough. Does not affect the navigation of large ships. The area of ??Cheung Chau Island and Hei Ling Chau is relatively small. Although the terrain is relatively flat, for the long-term plan of the petrochemical industry, it is necessary to reclaim the sea to make land. The waters of these two places are not as wide as Lamma Island. The worst is the source area of ??Tuen Mun District. Although the place is large enough, the location belongs to the northernmost area. The fleet must pass through Omen and enter the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary. ¡­¡­ The report also includes investigations into the Heung Kong Oil retail market. The most important thing is the gas station. In a mess, there is no unified market leader. The gas station is really in line with the characteristics of the international city of Xiangjiang. Currently, there are 64 gas stations in Xiangjiang, but there are seven gas station brands. According to the number of gas stations, they are 11 Exxon, 11 Royal Dutch Shell, 11 BP, 10 Mobil, 9 Chevron, and 7 One, 5 US Mobile Petroleum. U.S. oil is the dominant one, with five of the seven companies occupying five, but internal competition is also high. ¡­¡­ Next, Xia Yu read the investigation report of Xiangjiang Tourism and Entertainment Industry. The entertainment industry is mainly contributed by his company. It has been developing according to the plan, and there is no need to adjust. Moreover, the entertainment industry plays a supporting role in the tourism industry, so Xia Yu just glanced at it and skipped it. He paid attention to the number of arrivals in Hong Kong. From January to August, Hong Kong tourist arrivals reached 859,000, of which 242,000 were from the mainland, accounting for 28.12%. The tourism industry drives comprehensive consumption such as "food, housing, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment", which has a very strong linking effect on various industries. The most important thing in the tourism industry is the number of arrivals. According to this trend, the number of tourist arrivals in Hong Kong this year is expected to hit 1.3 million. But compared with the 50 or 60 million annual visits in later generations, the gap is huge! The mainland market and foreign markets have great potential to be tapped. The research report shows that if you want to revitalize Hong Kong¡¯s tourism industry, the most important thing is to enhance Hong Kong¡¯s reputation in the international tourism market. Work **** tourism, shopping, and entertainment. The focus can be on shopping, which has the strongest driving force for the economy. . Finally, it is the survey report of the big health industry. Big health industry, including medical products, health products, nutritious food, medical equipment, health equipment, leisure and fitness, health management, health consulting, and many other production and service fields closely related to human health. In these areas, Xiangjiang currently stands out, namely, medical products, health care products and nutritious foods. Other areas are lagging behind. In these three areas, medical products are mainly medical drugs, including traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. The corresponding market giants are Taiji Pharmaceutical and Aomei Pharmaceutical, both of which are first-level subsidiaries of Xiayu Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group. Although the two are the leaders in their respective fields, their scale is not comparable to that of the world''s pharmaceutical giants, and the leading role of Xiangjiang''s health industry is not obvious. The reason is very simple. It takes a long time to develop and market drugs, and those that can be marketed within a short period of time are the most basic western medicine products such as glucose injection and sodium chloride injection. As for other companies, there is a long distance from Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group. Although many investors have seen the development strategy of the Hong Kong government and bet in the pharmaceutical field in recent years, they are still limited by time and are still in the stage of burning money. , The effect has not yet appeared. Whether there will be a pharmaceutical company in the future, whether it will be able to make a huge contribution to Xiangjiang''s economy, no one can predict. Drug R&D, hardware and human resources are not enough. Luck is also extremely important. Many drugs that have made a huge contribution to the world are discovered accidentally. ¡­¡­ After reading the three reports, Xia Yu has a clear understanding of the current situation, shortcomings and directions of the three major markets. I saw him shook his head and smiled helplessly: "It seems that I really have to take action. It is too slow to count on others." At the critical moment, he still has to use a long-term strategic vision as a guide and invest huge resources to accelerate the development of these industries. Of course, the future benefits will be obvious. These industries will be under his control, speeding up his control of the Xiangjiang economy. In the future, when the core and six pillars of Xiangjiang are under his control, the sky will collapse when he waved his hand, and the ground will crack when he stomps his feet. "Jianning, come and make a note." After throwing away the three reports Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to pick up paper and pen, and then stated: "First, make a report and apply to the Hong Kong government to designate Lamma Island as the oil of Hong Kong. The chemical industry base has received support policies." "Secondly, Pacific Petroleum Corporation established a project team. The task is to make an investment and construction plan. In the first phase, the company will build an oil refinery with an annual oil refining capacity of 10 million tons on Lamma Island. The oil market is used for accounting." "Thirdly, let Pacific Oil Company come forward and obtain a gas station operating permit from the Hong Kong government, and then through the Bright Fund, acquire 11 gas stations of BP in Hong Kong, and use this as a foundation to expand and first occupy the oil retail market. Share." "Fourth, let Hutchison Whampoa Port Company build an oil port on Lamma Island. Before the construction of the port, sufficient research must be done. The position of Lamma Island is to replace Star City and become one of the world''s three major oil refining centers. The port must be built large enough, and there must be room for development." "Fifth, let Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. and Pacific Oil Company and Hutchison Whampoa Port Company do a good job of linking up. After the drawings are made, the petrochemical base and oil port will be built as soon as possible." "Sixth..." PS: The second one is here, ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month! (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1339: Who stopped me and crushed to death! (2 Chapter 1338 Who stopped me and crushed anyone! (Two chapters in one) The petrochemical industry has a bright future. As long as the refinery of Pacific Oil Company is completed and put into operation, it will develop by leaps and bounds. The three backward industries are the big health industry and the tourism and entertainment industry. The two industries still need him to play a pillar role. So on this day, Xia Yu personally went to Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group. He was greeted at the door by Zhang Gufeng, the president of Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group and the president of its subsidiary Taiji Pharmaceutical. "Chairman, welcome to you!" "Well, Gu Feng, long time no see, good spirits!" Xia Yu looked at Zhang Gufeng, who was ruddy, and said jokingly. Zhang Gufeng smiled and replied: ¡°Chairman, thanks to Dean Li, who taught me how to keep in good health, and also prescribed convalescent Chinese medicine.¡± As the president of Xiangjiang¡¯s largest Chinese medicine industry chain company, he is the company¡¯s big sign. If his body is not well maintained, then the sign of Taiji Pharmaceuticals will have to be a question mark. "Good health, the body is the biggest capital. Only with a strong body can I have enough energy to do work." "Let''s go, take me into the company and walk around." Xia Yu finished speaking with emotion and strode towards the company. Zhang Gufeng immediately followed step by step. "How is the company?" "Tell me about traditional Chinese medicine, not to mention western medicine." While walking, Xia Yu asked about the company. Zhang Gufeng has done a solid job in this area, and he blurted out the answer: "Chairman, Chinese medicine is currently in the situation of one large and two small ones. The first-level subsidiary Taiji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and the two second-level subsidiaries Yangshengtang He Renyuantang." "Taiji Pharmaceutical''s main business is threefold, namely, Chinese medicine formula granule business, over-the-counter medicine business, and Chinese medicine decoction pieces business. In the first half of this year, the company''s total revenue was 1.248 billion Hong Kong dollars and net profit was 239 million Hong Kong dollars. " "Among them, the revenue of the Chinese medicine formula granule business was 822 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 65.9% of the total revenue." "The revenue of the patent medicine business was 306 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 24.5% of the total revenue." "Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces business revenue was 120 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 9.6% of total revenue." "The scale of the two second-level subsidiaries of Yangshengtang is more than double that of Renyuantang, ranking first and second in this field by Xiangjiang." ¡°At present, Yangshengtang has 72 stores in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The revenue in the first half of the year was 554 million Hong Kong dollars and the net profit was 94.76 million Hong Kong dollars.¡± "Ren Yuan Tang has a smaller number of stores at 28, with revenue of 229 million Hong Kong dollars in the first half of the year and net profit of 39.38 million Hong Kong dollars." ¡­¡­ According to Zhang Gufeng¡¯s introduction, Xia Yu had a bottom in his heart. Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group, the leader in the cultivation, development and sales of traditional Chinese medicine alone, has achieved a revenue of 2.031 billion Hong Kong dollars in the first half of this year and a net profit of around 373 million Hong Kong dollars. It is worthy of being the leader of Xiangjiang''s traditional Chinese medicine industry. "Where is the processed Chinese medicine, take me to see." "Okay, Chairman, please follow me." After a while, Zhang Gufeng took Xia Yu to a huge factory building. This is a warehouse dedicated to storing Chinese herbal medicines. From a warehouse layout map in the lobby, it can be clearly seen that the huge warehouse is divided into The densely packed small areas are also marked with numbers and names. Such as 001 soil jingpi, 009 mussel, 105 Taizi ginseng, 208 Tiandong...521 Fatty Sea and so on. It can be seen that these small areas are all separate small warehouses, which store Chinese herbal medicines in a targeted manner to avoid changes in the medicinal properties caused by the mixed storage of medicinal materials. Zhang Gufeng called the person in charge of the warehouse and led everyone to see the current status of medicinal materials storage. What Xia Yu cares most about is the quality of medicinal materials! When he walked to the Fen Pueraria lobata warehouse No. 088, Xia Yu saw the Fen Pueraria lobata roots in storage. They were all yellowish pink Pueraria lobata roots, not pure white. It¡¯s not that good to look down upon. Seeing Xia Yu picking up a piece of pink kudzu root and looking at it carefully, under the sign of Zhang Gufeng, the person in charge of the warehouse who followed explained: "Chairman, this kind of pink kudzu root is made of real materials and processed through cumbersome ancient procedures. The quality is excellent, and the selling price is also the most expensive in Hong Kong. There are some good-looking ones on the market, which are basically smoked with sulfur. The nature and taste of the medicine have changed, and it will also cause adverse health to the users. influences." Xia Yu glanced at him and said with a serious expression: "Medicinal materials are the foundation of Chinese medicine. If the medicinal materials are broken, the industry will also be broken. We must abide by the principles." "Chairman, at the beginning of the establishment of the company, the company set the tenet of "Although the processing is complicated, you must not dare to save labor, and the taste is expensive, but you must not reduce material resources." Every link from Chinese herbal medicine planting to processing and storage is to strive for excellence. ." "It is precisely for this reason that the medicinal materials of our Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Industry can become the leading company of Xiangjiang in a short time, and the subordinates of Yangshengtang and Renyuantang can expand steadily." "We are here in Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Industry, and Yang Sheng Tang and Ren Yuan Tang are in the consumer, it can be said to be well-known." Zhang Gufeng said hurriedly. "Ok!" "That¡¯s good, we must continue to maintain it. It¡¯s easy to keep up the situation. We must be determined to become a century-old store. Quality is the lifeblood." Xia Yu smiled satisfied and exhorted again. "Yes!" Zhang Gufeng hurriedly bowed his head in response. "Let''s go, continue to see other medicinal materials." ¡­¡­ I saw seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials in the medicinal material warehouse, and Xia Yu was very satisfied with the quality. Although he does not understand Chinese medicine, he can probably judge the quality of the medicinal materials from the aspects of fragrance, appearance and color. After ??, Xia Yu went to see the company''s scientific research department, the pharmaceutical factory of Chinese medicine formula granules, and the production factory of finished medicine and some Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Everything is thriving, and the management is in place, which makes Xia Yu very satisfied. Finally, Xia Yu returned to Zhang Gufeng¡¯s office in Tai Chi Pharmaceutical. He wants to know how many known risks are still hidden under the prosperity of Tai Chi pharmaceutical industry. "Gu Feng, talk about the company''s current risks or difficulties." After drinking a sip of tea, Xia Yu leaned on the sofa and asked softly. Zhang Gufeng sat upright, and after a long period of thought, he said: ¡°Chairman, the company¡¯s various businesses have been carried out normally. Generally speaking, we have developed better than our peers, and we also have a huge advantage.¡± "If you want to say something difficult, there should be only one point, which was also pointed out by Dean Li." Xia Yu raised his brow slightly, and it was his master Li Chunqiu who pointed it out, which attracted his attention. Li Chunqiu is definitely a major Chinese medicine expert. The problems he has to point out are definitely not small. "what is the problem?" Xia Yu asked softly. Zhang Gufeng said: ¡°It¡¯s the use of Chinese medicinal materials. There is no unified standard and boundary. There are some superficial Chinese medicine practitioners or some fake Chinese medicine doctors who are using medicine indiscriminately, harming the reputation of Chinese medicine and restricting the development of the entire industry.¡± "The market growth rate of the Chinese medicine industry is much lower than that of western medicine, and the market competition is weak." "The most obvious thing is that after entering the mainland, the Yangshengtang cannot be used at all. Many prescriptions that can be used normally in Xiangjiang must be reduced in the mainland, resulting in a serious decline in the efficacy of the medicine. This is very unfavorable for the expansion of the Yangshengtang. It¡¯s not obvious, and it¡¯s hard to build a reputation among consumers." "And there is a huge hidden concern here, that is, the upper limit of the capacity of the Southeast Asian market is far lower than that of the mainland. The market of Chinese medicine is based on people who understand Chinese culture. Therefore, the company has long established a clear strategy. The mainland market will be the largest in the future. Market." "Because of mainland restrictions, the use of medicinal materials is now very low, which limits the Chinese herbal medicine market and also restricts other markets for Chinese medicine." "Fortunately, Dean Li has taken the lead in establishing the Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and is compiling the "Chinese Medicine Classic" with other masters of Hong Kong traditional Chinese medicine. I don''t know the specific extent of the compilation, but I heard that Li Yuan Long encountered some difficulties." After listening to Xia Yu, his expression was slightly solemn, and he nodded slightly and said, "I see." He has decided to find his master Li Chunqiu to see what the situation is and whether he needs his help. "Gufeng, the problem of the entire market is relatively troublesome to solve." "If you manage the company well, first take the existing market and expand the market share as much as possible. The mainland market is the future, while the Southeast Asian market represents the present." "Chairman, I understand that I will manage the company well." "Well, I will look for you again in two days." "Ok." ¡­¡­ In the afternoon, Xia Yu went to see his master Li Chunqiu specially. He was not in Chunqiu Hospital, but at Xiangjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When Xia Yu found him, he was in a conference hall at the school. There were many gray-haired old people in the conference hall, and there were also many young people assisting. It turns out that these elders are all well-known Chinese medicine practitioners in Xiangjiang. The reason why they are gathered here is for the compilation of the "Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Code". The venue was a bit noisy and not suitable for discussion. Fortunately, after seeing Xia Yu, Li Chunqiu temporarily put aside his work and walked out of the venue. "A Yu, why are you here?" "Master, I went to Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Industry this morning and learned some information. I just heard that you are leading the compilation of "Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine", so I want to talk to you about some things." "See if there is anything I can help." Xia Yu said with a smile. "There are really!" "Go, let''s find a place to talk." Li Chunqiu''s eyes lit up, and he took Xia Yu into an office not far away. As soon as he sat down, Li Chunqiu went straight to the subject, and said solemnly, "Ayu, let¡¯s tell you, the current situation of Chinese medicine is not optimistic. I went to the mainland many times before, but I didn¡¯t notice it until some Chinese medicine practitioners from the mainland joined. It was at Chunqiu Hospital that I told me about the problems of the mainland Chinese medicine industry, so I stepped up to take the lead in establishing the Xiangjiang Chinese Medicine Association, uniting everyone, and keeping the fire for the traditional Chinese medicine passed down by the ancestors for thousands of years. " "We don''t have the ability to change in the mainland, but I know you have enough influence in Xiangjiang. As long as you make a move, it should be no problem." "I originally planned to ask you for help after the "Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary" was completely compiled." These words are not heavy! Xia Yu¡¯s expression is serious, and he packs a ticket and said: "Master, your business is mine, and my company is also the largest Chinese medicine company in Hong Kong. I must help." "Tell me in detail." "Great!" Li Chunqiu showed a relieved smile, stroked the gray beard, and revealed the hidden feelings. "Many Chinese medicine practitioners from the mainland have joined our hospital and Xiangjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they have reported to me that the Mainland¡¯s Pharmacopoeia has restricted Chinese medicine to death, and it also puts Chinese medicine at a huge risk of sinking again.¡± "I bought this "Pharmacopoeia" specially. After reading the dosage limits for Chinese medicinal materials, I know that this dosage limit is definitely not set by Chinese medicine!" "Then I asked Chinese medicine practitioners from the mainland and confirmed my judgment. The Pharmacopoeia compiled in 1980 uses Western medicine standards to determine the toxicity of a single medicinal material and determine the prescribed dosage. This is the guidance of the layman. ." "Which Chinese medicine doctor does not know, the toxicity of medicinal materials cannot only be determined by the medicinal materials themselves, but ultimately depends on the effect of decocting them. Some medicinal materials can be detoxified with specific decoction methods, and some medicinal materials can neutralize the toxicity." "As soon as the Pharmacopoeia restricts the dosage, it is difficult for the mainland Chinese medicine to cure the disease according to that standard. Various prescriptions passed down from the ancestors have been restricted. The current Chinese medicine in the mainland has their hands and feet tied up, and the effect is not obvious. Sooner or later, it will become a vassal of Western medicine. If there is no one to rejuvenate, it is impossible to guarantee that it will not die." "It¡¯s like aconite, there are no restrictions in Xiangjiang. Let me prescribe it. I have prescribed a lot of them. The mainland¡¯s "Pharmacopoeia" directly sets the dosage at 3-15g. How to treat illness and save people when it is critical!" "The experience that the ancestors have learned and summed up for thousands of years is definitely not a problem. It is no problem like those Western medicines. After experimenting on rats and then using them in human experiments, the medicine can be put on the market in a few years. Traditional Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years. Can the formula summed up on the human body be worse than the formula made on the mouse?" "It must have been done by the traitors of Shu Dian Wangzong. The intention is too sinister. This is killing my Chinese medicine!" Speaking of this, even with Li Chunqiu''s qi cultivation skills, he can''t help but blow his beard and stare, which shows how angry he is! After listening to Li Chunqiu''s words, Xia Yu has a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine and finally understands why it is difficult to revitalize Chinese medicine in later generations. Traditional Chinese medicine is a problem, but the most important thing is that there is a problem with the Pharmacopoeia. Western medicine is sent to determine the amount of medicinal materials for Chinese medicine. This is obviously a cat making a cage for a mouse! Directly kill Chinese medicine from the foundation! The medicinal materials can not be used at will, and there is a fart curative effect. The prescription reduces the amount of medicinal materials more than ten times. How can Chinese medicine not carry the name "ineffective" and "slow curative effect"? This is definitely a struggle between interests and forms, just like the current US-Soviet struggle for hegemony. Hongsu¡¯s foundation has been destroyed by the United States, so it¡¯s no wonder it doesn¡¯t collapse! At this moment, Xia Yu made up his mind in an instant. It must be very difficult for the mainland to change the Pharmacopoeia. But in Xiangjiang, he can still do it. The enemy of Chinese medicine is western medicine, and the largest western medicine company in Xiangjiang is his Ogilvy Pharmaceutical Factory. The strengths of other western medicine capitals are integrated, and with his strength, they can be slapped to death with one slap! The mainland is controlled by a huge Western medical force, and it is difficult for Chinese medicine to regain the power that it should have. Then Xiangjiang can be used as a test area, so that the mainland can take a good look at the power of Chinese medicine with complete inheritance without being bound by hands and feet! The prestige of Chinese medicine overseas has given the factions of mainland Chinese medicine an indestructible foothold, forcing the mainland to reform this area and opening the ceiling of the Chinese medicine industry. "Master, you can compile the "Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary" as soon as possible." "The Hong Kong government will definitely approve and set it as an official standard." "Who stopped me and crushed anyone!" Xia Yu looked at Li Chunqiu firmly, and said loudly. Li Chunqiu smiled comfortingly: "Okay, A Yu, I''m relieved with you." "The compilation of the "Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary" has reached the late stage, and it will be completely completed in about two months. I will tell you when the time comes." "Great!" Xia Yu replied decisively. ¡­¡­ PS: There is no chapter, so the update is late, please forgive me! You have to vote if you have a monthly pass! (End of this chapter) ~: There is an emergency at work, ask for a leave tonight There is an emergency at work, ask for a leave tonight During the Qingming period, there are many unexpected things.

The Ching Ming holiday is here, please be civilized and worship your ancestors, and use flowers instead of firecrackers to avoid causing loss and trouble to yourself and the public. Everyone rest early, pay attention to your body, good night! (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1340: Will surely step into the road to take off (2 in 1 big Chapter 1339 is bound to take off (two in one chapter) As far as the global market is concerned, the share of Chinese medicine is after all only small. The existence of Tai Chi Pharmaceutical is more of a mission to strengthen Chinese medicine. To make Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group a top pharmaceutical company in the world, it still has to be supported by western medicines. At present, only western medicines can sell well all over the world. After Tai Chi Pharmaceuticals finished understanding the situation, Xia Yu personally went to the Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory. Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory is currently the largest western medicine pharmaceutical company in Xiangjiang. After being acquired by Xia Yu, it was even more successful. It dumped Xiangjiang pharmaceutical companies such as Wanhui Pharmaceutical, Jin''s Pharmaceutical, Li Wanshan Pharmaceutical, and Yonghong Pharmaceutical. Behind. In 1983, Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory completely built the first modern GMP pharmaceutical factory in Xiangjiang, and all the equipment is now the most advanced. The ??factory is located in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, so Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory also moved its headquarters into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. The current president of Aomei Pharmaceuticals is Chen Zeyang, a Chinese from the United States and a PhD in Biochemistry. He is an elite executive recruited by Korn Ferry from Merck & Co., Ltd. "Chairman, welcome your visit!" Chen Zeyang wears a pair of glasses and a panax notoginseng type. The most important thing is that he exudes a scholarly temperament. "Well, first show me the company''s financial report for the first half of the year, and then go to the factory." Xia Yu nodded slightly, succinctly and clarified his intentions. "Okay, Chairman, please follow me." After all, Chen Zeyang led Xia Yu to his office, handed over the first half of the financial report to Xia Yu, and then began to make tea. Xia Yu didn¡¯t talk nonsense, so he browsed directly. The financial report of Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory is very detailed, and even the sales volume and sales of specific products are made into tables. The company''s products are very rich, including solid preparations such as tablets and capsules; liquid preparations such as solutions, dry suspensions, injections, and semi-solid preparations such as creams, ointments, ointments, and soft capsules. These drugs are also divided into patented drugs (original research drugs) and generic drugs. Patented drugs include Aotellin, Aotolin, Aoneng, Aoluo, Aofuqing, Aoting, Aoqing, etc., generic drugs include penicillin, cephalosporin and other drugs. In the first half of the year, the company¡¯s total revenue was 825 million Hong Kong dollars, R&D investment was 255 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 30.9% of turnover, net profit was 176 million Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit margin was 21.3%. Among them, the revenue of patented drugs was 537 million Hong Kong dollars, the R&D investment was 147 million Hong Kong dollars, the R&D investment accounted for 27.4%, the net profit was 137 million Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit margin was 25.5%. For generic drugs, revenue was HK$288 million, R&D investment was HK$108 million, R&D investment accounted for 37.5% of revenue, net profit was HK$39 million, and net profit margin was 13.5%. These data clearly present the current situation of Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory to Xia Yu. The R&D investment is 255 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 30.9% of the company''s turnover. In fact, after deducting the net profit and taxes, the turnover accounts for 52.68% of the company''s total operating costs! This ratio is not low! Aomei Pharmaceuticals'' ability to leave other pharmaceutical companies behind is inseparable from its large investment in research and development. Fortunately, it has developed results and has a huge sales channel terminal under the consortium, so it has a net profit of 176 million Hong Kong dollars. However, the net profit of 21.3% is not too high in the current global pharmaceutical field, but at the upper-middle level. Xia Yu knows that some pharmaceutical companies under his Polaris Capital have achieved net profits as high as 40% or 50% after they have produced results! After reading the financial report, Xia Yu already knew the advantages and disadvantages of Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory. But he didn''t point it out right away. After putting down the financial report and taking a sip of tea, he asked Chen Zeyang to take him to the factory and scientific research department. Especially the most important scientific research department, Xia Yu listened patiently to the voices of scientific researchers. Fortunately, since Xia Yu took over the Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory, he, the largest real estate tycoon in Hong Kong, has not treated the talents of his company in terms of housing, and there is no shortage of staff dormitories. Employees who have made outstanding contributions can get the best. First-class dormitories even directly reward housing. There is no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and researchers can devote themselves to research and development. However, after visiting the scientific research department, Xia Yu discovered another serious problem in his opinion. That is the lack of talents and the lack of scientific research projects! Think about the R&D investment in the first half of the year, which is only more than 41 million U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars. On this scale of investment, in fact, it means that Xiangjiang can be proud of the crowd, but on a global scale, it is really not enough to watch, just a small role! Those giants have an annual R&D cost of six to seven billion U.S. dollars, and first-class pharmaceutical companies have two to three billion U.S. dollars in R&D investment. Aomei Pharmaceuticals, according to the current trend, if Xia Yu does not interfere, there will be no US$100 million in a year. Without R&D investment, there will be no output. R&D cannot keep up. In the absence of explosive drugs, they will only be pushed farther and farther away by the giants. This is the status quo in the pharmaceutical field, the threshold is too high! Not all pharmaceutical companies, like Genentech, a subsidiary of Polaris Capital, are able to develop small blue pills that sell well all over the world. After a visit, Xia Yu asked Chen Zeyang to elaborate on the development constraints of Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory and his thoughts. Chen Zeyang does have a gap in his chest. "Chairman, you can see that the company¡¯s R&D investment costs account for more than half of the company¡¯s total operating costs in drug R&D. In fact, the R&D investment of patented drugs is much lower than the R&D investment of generic drugs. This is because I believe that increasing the revenue share of generic drugs can increase the company¡¯s risk resistance." "Although 108 million Hong Kong dollars were invested in the first half of the year, these are inputs that have not yet been output. After a few years, the revenue of the generic drug business will really explode, and it is still in the early stage of investment." "The reason why the relative investment in patented drug research and development is not as high as that of generic drugs is that it is restricted by talents." "Although Xiangjiang has a certain amount of pharmaceutical R&D talents, the proportion of talents is much lower than that of European and American countries. Although the training of relevant professional talents in various universities has increased, the talents have not been cultivated." "The lack of high-end talents has resulted in higher risks in the development of more difficult patented drugs than European and American pharmaceutical companies. This is also the key reason why I have increased R&D efforts in the less difficult generic drug business." Xia Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with his approach. In the future, the market share of generic drugs will become larger and larger, the proportion of patented drugs will be relatively small, and the situation of patented drugs will become worse with the passage of time. The market share of generic drugs in the later generations in the United States will be 50 or 60%. In the later generations in the mainland, the market share of generic drugs will be as high as 80% or 90%, and the highest market share will be as high as 95%! The proportion of generic drugs in later island countries also accounted for more than 80%! And now in the first half of 1984, the revenue of generic drugs from Aomei Pharmaceuticals accounted for 34.9% of the company''s total revenue! This ratio is low. It can only be said that before the acquisition of Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory by Xia Yu, the operators were too gambled, and the motivation for scientific research was also more sufficient, always stumbling on patented drugs. However, it is precisely because of this reason that the profitability of Aomei Pharmaceuticals before the acquisition was relatively low, which made Xia Yu''s acquisition cost lower, and it also accumulated more pharmaceutical technology, so that it could have it so soon after taking over. output. Otherwise, according to the research and development of a new drug, it is generally about ten years, and only a few years are only a few cases with good luck. "Generic drugs need to increase investment. In this area, do you think there is any way to give Xiangjiang''s generic drugs industry a more competitive advantage, and don''t just limit it to our company." Xia Yu asked softly that he wanted to hear the opinions of professionals. As for the reform direction of the entire Xiangjiang pharmaceutical industry, he already has an idea, but the generic drug needs to be supplemented in particular. The more developed the generic drug industry, the lower the cost of medicines, and the cheaper the medicines in the hands of patients. This is a matter for the benefit of mankind. And taking into account the situation of future generations in the mainland, it does need a more developed generic drug industry to support it. Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory will start first. In the future, the generic drug market in mainland China with a level of 100 billion US dollars will also be able to eat a larger piece of cake. Chen Zeyang talked freely: "Chairman, I personally don''t have a good idea in this regard, but at the end of last year, a landmark event occurred in the US pharmaceutical industry. It was not until the US proposed the "Hatch-Waxman Act" in the first half of this year. It was called the "Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Compensation Law," which touched me a lot." "Oh?" "Tell me in detail." Xia Yu looked at Chen Zeyang with interest. Chen Zeyang was silent for a moment, and after finishing the draft, he said: "This bill has three core points. One is to extend the patent period of patented drugs to 20 years, protect the interests of the original research drug companies, and stabilize the original research drug companies. Passion for new drug research." "The second point is to allow generic drug companies to conduct generic drug research before the end of the drug patent period, and at the same time give the first company to launch a generic drug a 180-day market exclusivity period. This allows generic drug companies to monopolize the market. During the period, five to ten times the revenue was obtained, allowing generic drug companies to recover their costs." "The third point is to simplify the pre-marketing procedures of the drug. You do not need to go through the same approval process as the original research drug. Instead, you only need to provide FDA data to prove that the generic drug is equivalent to the reference drug in terms of learning, and provide data to prove that the generic drug is the same as the reference drug. Bioequivalence between drugs is sufficient." "This bill balances the balance between patented drugs and generic drug companies. It has an incentive effect for pharmaceutical companies in both fields and increases market competitiveness. It also balances the interests of patients and pharmaceutical companies. In the long run, it can be Let patients enjoy low-cost generic drugs in advance and save money." "It''s just that this bill has just been implemented in the United States, and other countries are still waiting to see its results. The United Kingdom is still indifferent for the time being." "If HeungKong can introduce a similar bill as soon as possible, the environment of HeungKong''s pharmaceutical industry will be greatly improved. It will benefit our company a lot. It can extend the patent period of our company''s patented drugs and save the time to market for generic drugs." "Okay, I see." "It is not important whether it is implemented in the UK, and Hong Kong also has the power to make independent legislation." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. Chen Zeyang understood Xia Yu''s subtext, he couldn''t help his eyes light up, and a feeling of expectation rose in his heart. "Okay, Zeyang, I will give you an order now." "From today until I order the suspension, the company only needs to maintain normal operations without loss. The company does not need excess profits. All the money is invested in R&D and mergers and acquisitions." Xia Yu¡¯s flirtatious sentence puts the profit of 176 million Hong Kong dollars in the first half of this year and almost the same profit in the second half of this year, totaling more than 350 million Hong Kong dollars, and all of them are invested in drug research and development and mergers and acquisitions. Chen Zeyang''s spirits lifted, his voice trembling a little, and he responded loudly, "Understood!" Xia Yu talked about some precautions: "Also, there will be some changes in the Xiangjiang pharmaceutical industry in the future. You need to provide some assistance here. Someone will tell you about specific things." "In the area of ??drug research and development, I will also give you a list at that time. The list will make it clear which drugs should not be involved in research and development. I have pharmaceutical companies in other places. Don''t create unnecessary competition." This refers to his Genentech, Amgen, Abbott and Geneva Bojian company invested by Bright Fund in the United States. The global pharmaceutical market is so big and there are many giants, there is no need for internal friction, but a clear division of labor, united to compete with other pharmaceutical companies. "Chairman, I will listen to your arrangements!" ¡­¡­ After leaving from Aomei Pharmaceutical Factory, Xia Yu is ready to work on the Xiangjiang pharmaceutical industry and the big health industry. First of all, internal adjustments. His first move is very big, that is, he intends to change the name of Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group, the new name is Jiuding Big Health Group, which is in line with Xiangjiang''s development strategy. Followed by a big move, the spin-off of Jiuding Fitness Company, one of the pillars of Jiuding Retail Group, to become a first-level subsidiary of Jiuding Big Health Group. Jiuding Fitness Company has two brands, Watsons and Wanning Pharmacy, which rank first and second in the Xiangjiang and Southeast Asian markets. The total number of stores is 525 and 481 respectively. Jiuding Bodybuilding Company has more than 1,000 stores, and it is precisely because of its huge overseas retail terminals that the sales of Aomei Pharmaceutical and Taiji Pharmaceuticals are so high. Now that Jiuding Bodybuilding Company is placed under Jiuding Great Health Group, these companies will become brothers of the Yidai compatriots, and the cooperative relationship will naturally be further deepened, which is beneficial to all companies. Then, Xia Yu ordered Jiuding Big Health Company to set up an excellent medical device company to manufacture medical devices and healthcare devices. Established Nanshan Health Technology Co., Ltd. to manufacture leisure and fitness sports equipment, including exercise bikes, treadmills, etc. Established Aixin Health Management Consulting Company, as a third-party service agency and medical insurance agency or directly facing individual needs, providing systematic and professional health management services and providing health consulting services. Established a health care company, engaged in the production and operation of health care products and nutritious food. Finally, Lover Products Company was established to produce and sell adult products. After this set of actions, Jiuding Health Group will cover all segments of the entire health industry. Next, Jiuding Health Group will become the leader and lead the vigorous development of Xiangjiang Health Industry. In order to let Xiangjiang''s big health industry have a good growth soil. Xia Yu issued an order to Huo Jianning to let the think tank sort out a plan, which included two aspects. One aspect is the "Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Compensation Act" mentioned by Chen Zeyang, which made the same or similar bills. On the other hand, there is no country in the world that currently implements the drug R&D tax deduction policy. The R&D investment cost of pharmaceutical companies can be deducted from the company¡¯s business tax, thereby motivating pharmaceutical companies¡¯ R&D enthusiasm. Hong Kong cannot be the same as India. India does not recognize drug patent rights, so that it does not matter if it is blocked by the WTO. It does not intend to have an international market at the beginning. But if Xiangjiang wants to become an international city, it must not do so. As long as HeungKong passes these two medical industry bills, the cost of HeungKong''s pharmaceutical companies will be greatly reduced, operating profits will be improved, and global industry competitiveness will be greatly enhanced. This environment will also attract major pharmaceutical companies around the world to invest and set up factories in HeungKong, and even move their headquarters here. For industry leaders who are just starting out and preparing to establish pharmaceutical companies, Xiangjiang will be their key consideration location, which is very attractive to pharmaceutical talents. But no matter what the future is, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Health Group will enjoy the most at least the initial policy dividend. As long as the bill is passed and implemented, Xiangjiang''s health industry will surely take off. PS: Two chapters in one. To be honest, after seeing the draft bill today, I was hit hard. I have been working hard to resume the update since last month. Unfortunately, a regulation on the website directly destroyed all my expectations. Even if I am full of words, the support, subsidies and incentive policies are all I have nothing to do with me. I thought I could get one or two thousand subsidies last month, but I didn¡¯t have a dime, and I won¡¯t have it in the future. I¡¯m so disappointed. I only have to subscribe and reward. Up, hey There is no hope here on the website. I can only call on everyone to support the original version. Support me until I finish writing this book. Thanks! (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1341: 0 year plan Chapter 1340 Hundred Years Plan (first more) is just Jiuding Health Group, covering the entire health industry. The promotion of Hong Kong legislation is only to provide a good development environment for the big health industry. In terms of consortia, Jiuding Health Group is sufficient. But for Xia Yu¡¯s family, there is still a shortcoming. That is the hospital! Jiuding Health Group has one hospital, which is Xiangjiang Chunqiu Hospital. Although in terms of equity, this hospital belongs to Xiangjiang Jiuding Health Group. But in Xia Yu''s heart, this hospital belonged to his master Li Chunqiu, only because his master refused to accept it. Since the establishment of this hospital, Xia Yu has also been investing, but he has never asked for output, nor is it to make money, but to revitalize Chinese medicine. This hospital will never be sold. For this reason, he also specially invested and established a Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to ensure the orderly inheritance of Chinese medicine. For Xia Yu and his future family, a Spring and Autumn Hospital is far from enough. He also needs a top western medical hospital! And this hospital must be able to provide Xia¡¯s family with the best medical protection at any time and at the fastest speed, and at the same time, it must be as safe as possible! This prompted Xia Yu to follow the same path as other family consortia. For example, the Rockefeller family, Morgan family, Mellon family, DuPont family, etc., all have hospitals invested exclusively by their families. And the way to invest in hospitals is also quite special, which is a charitable investment! Xia Yu agrees with this approach very much. He can make money in the pharmaceutical industry, because pharmaceuticals require extremely high costs. A profit in one year does not mean that there is profit every year. It is possible that the money earned in a few years is not as good as the R&D loss in the following year. So the pharmaceutical industry needs long-term profits to balance past and future revenue. One more thing, the more profit the pharmaceutical industry makes, the more money it will have to develop new drugs and treat more diseases in the future. So in Xia Yu''s concept, making money in the pharmaceutical industry is the right thing to do, as long as your heart is not too dark! The hospital industry should not be profitable. It only belongs to the public and people''s livelihood industry! The hospital industry is different from the pharmaceutical industry. Its costs are mainly hardware investment and management costs. As long as the medical level is continuously improved, the hospital¡¯s reputation will increase, and the revenue will follow the trend. In terms of business risk, it is not worthy to give shoes to the pharmaceutical industry! The hospital industry can make money, but all the money earned should not go to private pockets. Private hospital operators can get part of the remuneration, but more profits should be cyclically invested in the hospital, upgrading the hospital¡¯s software and hardware, buying more advanced medical equipment, cultivating and introducing more medical talents, and improving treatment The level of life-saving. And Xia Yu is even more extreme. He doesn''t want to make any money in the hospital industry. He just wants to use this method to leave enough protection for his family and at the same time accumulate more yin for his family. So Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to arrange someone to set up a charity fund different from Jiuding Charity Fund-the Xia Family Charity Fund. Furthermore, the Xia Family Charity Fund directly invested one billion Hong Kong dollars to build an international hospital in Xiangjiang. The name is Fuford Hospital, which means that this is a hospital that accumulates wealth and virtue for oneself. In the future, Xiangjiang will only have such a Fude Hospital. Only in the mainland, Xia Yu had different plans. He wants to set a benchmark for the mainland hospital industry in advance, keep the bottom line of private hospitals, and prevent unscrupulous private hospitals from becoming too rampant. The way is to establish the Kyushu Medical Charity Fund by Kyushu Industrial Group. Kyushu Industrial Group donates a certain amount to the Kyushu Medical Charity Fund every year, and then uses this money to operate the hospital industry. The purpose is to create a chain hospital brand, the name is also named Fude Hospital, but a prefix is ??added to distinguish it from Xiangjiang Fude Hospital, the full name is Kyushu Fude Hospital. The operating purpose of Kyushu Ford Hospital is also not for private profit, and it is also a rule that the profit of the hospital is not used for expansion. The operating profit of a single hospital is only used for the management and improvement of the hospital. The expansion of Kyushu Ford Hospital can only come from charitable funds donated by Kyushu Industrial Group. This model can continue to grow on the premise of ensuring that the hospital does not close down, and at the same time, the cost of seeing a doctor is also reduced to a minimum, which can benefit patients. In the future, as long as the number of Kyushu Fude hospitals increases, the bottom line of the conscience of the private hospital industry will be stronger, and the living space left for the black heart hospital will be smaller. This thing is done well, and he can add another amulet for his Kyushu Group in the mainland. As long as the management model remains the same, then even if he is a hundred years later, his Xia family''s status in the mainland will almost go nowhere. Of course, by then, the number of Kyushu Ford Hospital will be large, and the purchase of drugs and medical equipment will be huge. Just selling expected drugs and equipment at the same price is enough to give Jiuding Health Group a stable rear. , Supporting its competition with international medical giants. As long as the Kyushu Ford Hospital does not fail, even if the Jiuding Health Group is weak, there will always be a bottom line, and there will always be a chance for a comeback! Xia Yu told the family office to handle these two things. And he focused on boosting the last shortcoming of the six pillars-the tourism and entertainment industry. The focus is on the tourism industry! The tourism industry drives comprehensive consumption such as "food, housing, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment", which has a very strong linking effect on various industries. Conversely, it is precisely because one of the aspects of ¡°food, housing, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment¡± is sufficiently attractive to consumers that it encourages consumers to travel. So to build tourism, the key is to build something that can attract consumers. Among them, "living" and "travel are the most basic supporting industries, and it is difficult to become the fundamental factor of consumers'' desire to travel. Xiangjiang does not have this characteristic. Therefore, it is more focused on the four aspects of "food, travel, shopping, and entertainment" to create improvements, and add weight to the reasons for consumers to come to Xiangjiang. In terms of "eating", Xia Yu thought he didn''t need to push him too much. Xiangjiang is a place where all the major races gather. Every race and each nation has its own food culture characteristics. As long as someone comes to Xiangjiang, they will naturally bring their own food culture. Therefore, Xiangjiang¡¯s current food culture is very distinctive. It only needs to do a good job in publicity, and it is enough to start Xiangjiang¡¯s ¡°food paradise¡± on a global scale. In terms of "entertainment", although Xiangjiang does not have the kind of impressive betting industry in Omen, Xiangjiang does have a jockey club. If it can promote Xiangjiang''s horse racing to become the world''s top presence, attract more horse races to be held in Xiangjiang. , Combined with the legal horse racing gambling industry, the attractiveness will never be bad! The only real need for great effort is "you" and "buy"! PS: There is another chapter tonight, it will be later, let¡¯s see it tomorrow (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1342: Disney and DFS Chapter 1341 Disney and DFS (second more) In the ¡°tour¡± area, Xia Yu asked the think tank to make a survey report, and made a detailed statistics of the scenic spots in Xiangjiang that are attractive to local and overseas tourists. Statistics show that the three most well-known scenic spots in Hong Kong today are Victoria Peak, Hong Kong Ocean Park and Victoria Harbour. The top of Victoria Peak is an old attraction. Victoria Peak Cable Car has been in operation since 1888, and there has been no accident in the past 100 years. The top of the Victoria Peak is also the highest place in the Xiangjiang River. Standing on the top of the Victoria Peak, condescending and blowing the sea breeze, you can have a panoramic view of the Xiangjiang River. And Xiangjiang Ocean Park, it has been more than seven years since it opened in 1977. At present, it is not only the most popular theme park in Hong Kong, but also the most popular theme park in Southeast Asia. It has many honors such as "the largest entertainment and leisure park in Southeast Asia" and "one of the largest aquariums in the world". Not a small name. And Victoria Harbour, not to mention, named after the Queen of England, Victoria Harbour is also the largest seaport in Asia and the third largest in the world. The night view of Victoria Harbour is gorgeous and colorful. Especially since the Hong Kong Tourism Investment Group created the "Symphony of Lights", it has added a touch of color to Victoria Harbour. These three places have actually been able to attract a large number of tourists to Xiangjiang. But these three major attractions are not enough. In the second level, there are currently Wong Tai Sin Temple which is attractive to Southeast Asian tourists and mainland tourists, as well as Causeway Bay and Lan Kwai Fong, which are now gradually famous in Southeast Asia because of movies and TV dramas. Besides, there seems to be no obvious attraction, such as Victoria Park. It is just a bit famous in the local area of ??Xiangjiang, and there is not much characteristic. After reading the investigation report, Xia Yu couldn''t help shaking his head. These scenic spots were not attractive in a compound manner. It was too difficult to stand up the card of Xiangjiang "you"! So he still needs him to accelerate Xiangjiang and build a foundation. Recalling a series of well-known attractions in Xiangjiang in his previous life, Xia Yu selected two, namely Avenue of Stars and Hong Kong Disneyland. The Avenue of Stars is a scenic spot in Victoria Harbor, imitating the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the ground is inlaid with plaques of movie celebrities, there are handprints of celebrities, and there are also bronze statues of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee. It¡¯s just that the former Xiangjiang Avenue of Fame was not perfect. The grade is far from that of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not only is there a relatively small number of celebrities, but the pattern is not big enough, and most of them are movie celebrities. And Hollywood¡¯s Walk of Fame is enlarged to the entire entertainment industry. More than 2500 ¡°stars¡± represent the eternal commemoration of those who have made outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry, recording actors, musicians, directors, producers, music bands, and dramas. Names of groups, avatars, and other people. Of course, after analysis, Xia Yu also came to the reason why the popularity of the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars was not large enough. The key is that the Hong Kong entertainment industry gradually declined after the 1980s and lost the name of Oriental Hollywood. But this life is different. With his Jiuding Cultural Media Group, Xiangjiang¡¯s housing prices have been suppressed, coupled with his and his group¡¯s influence on Southeast Asia in many respects, Xiangjiang¡¯s entertainment industry will only become more and more prosperous. Live up to the reputation of Oriental Hollywood. So make a good plan, Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars can definitely be built successfully, at least ten times the popularity of the previous life is not a problem. Xia Yu has this confidence! Then there is Hong Kong Disneyland, at this time there is no hair. The Disneyland in the island nation only opened last year. Now there are only three Disney parks in the world, namely California Disneyland, Orlando Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. According to the trajectory, if it is normal, Hong Kong Disneyland will only open in 2005, which is the fifth in the world! This is definitely not good! The most important thing about the Disneyland brand is that it is very attractive to Europeans and Americans. If the mainland does not understand Disney culture, if there is a Disneyland in Hong Kong, it is definitely a great tool to attract European and American tourists to enter! With the support of his huge media empire, he will have the highest probability of success and the lowest probability of losing money to make Hong Kong Disneyland! It¡¯s just that Disney is not willing to build another Disneyland in Hong Kong. After all, Tokyo Disneyland in East Asia has just opened. Building a Disneyland in Hong Kong will definitely be detrimental to Tokyo Disneyland. The management of American Disney Company is certainly not stupid. Then you can only use extraordinary means. Bright Fund originally held a portion of the shares of Disney in the United States. In addition, it seems that Disney is currently in a low period, just in time for Polaris Capital to acquire it, and the problem of building Hong Kong Disneyland will be solved. At the same time, it will also strengthen Polaris Capital''s dominance over Hollywood! After setting these two goals, the strength of Xiangjiang''s "tour" can be improved. The last "purchase" is left. Later Xiangjiang is a world-famous "shopping paradise", but its current popularity is far less than that of future generations. The sign of "Shopping Paradise" has not been completely erected. In fact, when Xiangjiang is building a tourism industry, the "buy" is the best way to build it. After all, Xiangjiang is a free port, and there is zero tariff for goods entering Xiangjiang! For other countries, a small number of commodities are also tax-free when they enter the customs. Therefore, shopping in Xiangjiang is enough to enjoy the two-way tax exemption. If the tax is exempted, the price will drop by a big margin! Especially for high-tariff products such as beauty and perfume, watches and jewelry, fashion and accessories, alcohol and tobacco, the two-way tax exemption can even achieve several times the amount of goods for the previous day''s money! This is the biggest advantage of Xiangjiang as a free port! It¡¯s just that Xiangjiang wakes up late, and because of political reasons, the development of Xiangjiang has been seriously delayed, so that when it wants to catch up, it is already too late. In the future generations of the tax-free market with a scale of 100 billion U.S. dollars, Asia occupies more than half, reaching up to 50 billion U.S. dollars. South Korea alone accounts for more than 40% of the 50 billion US dollars! Even in the global market, it is as high as more than 20%, ranking first in the world, higher than the United Kingdom! As for South Korea¡¯s duty-free market, nearly 80% of the annual contribution is contributed by foreign consumers. Among these 80%, more than half are contributed by Chinese people... Ming Ming Xiangjiang occupies the land and people after 1997, but because it did not occupy the time before 1997, it lags behind step by step. Fatty water has flowed into outsiders'' fields. But now, while South Korea has not yet deployed, Star City, Kuala Lumpur and the island countries have not paid attention to it. HeungKong has set up the banner in advance to gather capital and global well-known brands. Then other countries have no way to catch up. To do this, Xia Yu must have a duty-free shop brand in his hands! License is not a problem, how many he wants is a matter of one sentence. The product is not a problem either. He has the French LVHM Group, so there are perfumes, cosmetics, high-end leather goods, red wine and white wine. He also has the Eternal Jewelry Company, so there are also goods such as jewelry. He also has Jiuding Electric Group and Tiangong Electronics Group, as well as products such as electrical appliances and electronic products. As for watches, cigarettes, pastries, gifts, food, etc., he does not have them, but other partners of the Southeast Asian consortium do. Combined with these things, opening a store is a success. After thinking and thinking, the key is to have a mature team and management system. Acquisition is the fastest way and can be effective in the first time. After some investigation, the largest duty-free shop in Hong Kong is currently DFS, which was founded by American Charles Fini and Robert Miller in 1961. As for other companies, they are far from DFS. Of course, because DFS has been established for a short time, although they have a mature management system and team , their strength is not strong, and their ability to integrate products is not enough. At the same time, they are also affected by the current development of Xiangjiang. Restrictions, so that DFS has not yet broken out. is just right for him to acquire. Not much to say, Xia Yu directly decided to let Jiuding Retail Group acquire DFS, and then the family office came forward to integrate the resources of the entire consortium, allowing DFS to take off and carry the banner of Xiangjiang¡¯s duty-free retail industry. In this way, the shortcomings of Xiangjiang''s tourism and entertainment industry have also been filled. After sorting out these ideas, Xia Yu gave them all to the family office for processing. He was finally able to relax again. As the family office continued to issue orders, and one proposal after another was passed to Su Xingjian, the work pressure on various departments of the Hong Kong government, especially the Legislative Council, increased sharply. However, Liang Dingbang knew that this was what the big boss meant. He gritted his teeth and gathered the legislative council''s hands to push forward the legislative work of various bills...

(End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1343: Huge treasure Chapter 1342 Huge Treasure Although Xia Yu is far away in Xiangjiang, most of his thoughts are on building Xiangjiang and sorting out his own assets. But it does not mean that he has relaxed his control over other companies outside of Hong Kong. Even after the establishment of his Xia family office, he has enough talents to sort out and analyze information, but he has raised his control over those companies to a new height. In the United States, before you know it, Ronald Reagan¡¯s term is about to complete. The general election is now underway, and the election time is less than two months away. It¡¯s just that Ronald Reagan has made great achievements in the past few years, leading the United States gradually out of the quagmire, and not losing ground in the contest with Hongsu, the material and spiritual level of the American people have been improved. . So in this election, Ronald Reagan was extremely powerful, and Congress was firmly controlled by the Republican Party. So in this general election, although there are still people from the Democratic Party running for the election, under the influence of Ronald Reagan, the voice is relatively small. Although Ronald Reagan is highly likely to be re-elected, Xia Yu still gave full support to his close friends. His media empire in the United States has launched a campaign for Ronald Reagan. At the same time, he also provided legal political contributions to Ronald Reagan through various channels. In the island country, various companies have also developed very well, and the companies of the Sanhe Consortium have also become very close to his various banks. The major families in the Sanhe Consortium did not notice anything wrong, but thought that these companies were moving closer to the Sanhe Consortium. They were happy to see this scene. After all, this represented the strength and influence of the Sanhe Consortium continued to grow. It¡¯s no wonder they couldn¡¯t find out, because even the other five consortiums thought that these companies were forced to survive the pressure and turned to the Sanhe consortium. On the European side, Britain and France have the strongest fulcrums. The Bright Fund uses huge funds to continuously expand its influence on the European continent. Especially in the United Kingdom, the privatization process in the United Kingdom has gradually seen results, and the people have made money from stock trading, making the public''s obstacles weaker and weaker. Margaret¡¯s privatization policy has been implemented more and more smoothly. has now entered the second stage of the privatization process. British Great Eastern Telecom, which had previously privatized 51% of its shares, this time, the British government took out the remaining 49% of its shares for privatization. At this time, the strength of the Bright Fund has risen a step compared to a few years ago, and it is naturally eligible to eat a larger portion of fat. 49% equity, Bright Fund took 15%, then Royal Bank of Scotland 10%, Bank of Barings 10%, and other families and companies took 14%. After two privatizations, Great Eastern Telecom Company became a completely private company. The first largest shareholder is Bank of Bahrain with 30%, the second largest shareholder is Bright Fund with 22%, the third largest shareholder is Standard Chartered Bank with 12%, and the fourth largest shareholder is Royal Bank of Scotland with 10%. Another 26% of the shares are held by other companies and families. But the 26% stake is irrelevant. Bright Fund, Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are all three companies controlled by Xia Yu behind the scenes. The total shareholding has reached 44%, far surpassing the largest shareholder of the Bank of Barings. And the Bank of Bahrain? Although the largest shareholder is the Locke Fund of the Howard family, holding 35% of the shares. But Jiuding Bank is the second largest shareholder holding 25%. Prince Philip¡¯s Black Rose Fund and Bright Fund each hold 20% of the equity. So in fact, the largest controller of Bahrain Bank is also Xia Yu, with a controlling stake of 45%. The Howard family¡¯s position is also consistent with Xia Yu, so Barings Bank is naturally his company, which is equivalent to a peripheral company of the Bright Consortium. In this way, together with the 30% equity of Great Eastern Telecom held by the Bank of Bahrain, Xia Yu''s influence on Great Eastern Telecom has reached 74%, and he controls it behind the scenes. Of course, in the previous privatization of companies such as Amsham International, Britol Petroleum, British International Aviation Radio, United Ports, etc., the Bright Fund also gained a lot of money. The privatized chemical giant Amsham International, Bright Fund took 21% of the shares, and HSBC Holdings took 8% of the shares. Privatized 51% of Britol Petroleum Company, and Bright Fund took 8% of the shares. British International Aviation Radio Corporation, which was all privatized, had a 7% stake in the Bright Fund, but the Rolls-Royce Motor Group took out a 12% stake. There is also a 51% privatized United Port Corporation, formerly known as the British Wharf Bureau, and the Bright Fund is also the fiercest contender. For Xia Yu¡¯s global port strategy, the Bright Fund forced a 25% stake, and also allowed the Bank of Barings to take a 9% stake, directly owning a veto. With the current advantages, until the next time the British government privatizes the remaining 49% of the equity, United Ports Corporation will also be included in the Bright Fund. In addition to these companies that have temporarily ended their competition, the most important thing now is the two companies. The largest British telecommunications company in the field of telecommunications has reached the most critical period of contention. This company with an overall value of at least ¡ê6 billion will be privatized by the British government at least half of its equity. The benefits involved are amazing. According to the current situation, the dust is expected to settle in early November. In addition, there is also a giant in the British natural gas industry-British Gas. This is a company that is more valuable than British Telecom, reaching nearly tens of billions of pounds. It¡¯s just that the specific privatization process of the British Gas Company has not yet started. It is just that there has been a rumor that there will be no results within a year, but now is the best time to enter the market. If you step in at this time, you will naturally be eligible to eat a larger piece of cake when it is finally privatized. George Berkeley is already a veteran in the fight for the privatization cake. Xia Yu only needs to clarify the general direction and bottom line. George Berkeley can make full use of resources and conditions to implement it, without Xia Yu worrying about it. ¡­¡­ When Xia Yu was talking to Li Qian at home about the charity plan of Jiuding Charity Fund in 1985, someone came to report, and Ma Qianjun came. "A Yu, why is my brother here?" "It''s been a long time since I saw him." Li Qian also heard the report, a look of joy flashed across her face, and she stood up. Xia Yu smiled, caressed Li Qian''s hand and said: "He received an important task from me before and asked him to take the team to the tour personally. Now there should be a result." While speaking, Ma Qianjun with a cold face walked in. After seeing Li Qian also, his face finally showed a smile. "Brother!" "Cici, you are there too." "Well, brother, sit down." "¡­¡­" Xia Yu smiled and watched his brother and sister chat for a few words. He also knew that Ma Qianjun rarely met with his sister Li Qian in order to carry out his orders. He is not a cold-blooded person Naturally, he will not interfere too much in this regard. Moreover, Ma Qianjun is also a very sensible person. Although he loves his sister, he also pays attention to proportion, especially in Xia Yu¡¯s personal relationship. He had never asked Xia Yu because of his sister. The only request was that he wanted Xia Yu to treat Li Qian well. "Uncle, is the investigation clear?" After the brothers and sisters finished chatting, Xia Yu asked with a smile. Ma Qianjun glanced at Xia Yu in a strange way, and then said inexplicably: "It has been found that there is indeed a temple called Padmanabhaswamy Temple built in the 16th century in Kerala, southern India. ." "There are indeed six secret rooms there. The temple management knows only four. I found the other two secret rooms. I was the only one who secretly entered through the secret passage." "There are too many gold and jewelry inside..." PS: Kavin, I¡¯ll update it today. In addition, collect information on treasures, such as shipwrecks, temples, treasures, gold mines, etc., welcome to speak freely, and adopt them as appropriate If you have plot comments, you can also mention it. Crowdfunding is inspired to write a book, and I will write it for you. Wait for you (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1344: Multi-billion dollar treasure Chapter 1343 The Treasure of Tens of Billions (First) "What are there probably, do you have to write it down?" Xia Yu understood Ma Qianjun¡¯s feelings, but he didn¡¯t want to explain why he knew this, and let Ma Qianjun guess it himself. Even Li Qian looked at her elder brother closely. She did not expect that there would be such a remote and magical thing as a treasure, and her curiosity rose to the highest point. Ma Qianjun whispered: "I have been in the two secret rooms of the temple, and both of them have hidden a lot of treasures." "In the first secret room, there are nearly a thousand gold necklaces weighing about 2.5 kilograms, 3 gold crowns, and a baby elephant made of gold. I can''t move them at all. I guess at least one ton. Then there are large quantities of gold jewelry, gold coins, jewels and diamonds, at least one ton or more. I am not a professional and cannot estimate the specific value." "The second secret room has more treasures than the first one. There are at least five tons of gold ornaments, utensils, gold coins and jewels, as well as 5 golden crowns, 1 golden scepter, a golden throne and a golden Buddha. I can¡¯t move the golden Buddha at all. I guess the weight of the golden Buddha will not be lighter than the golden elephant in the first secret room.¡± Li Qian was already stunned following Ma Qianjun''s narration. She covered her mouth with her hand, for fear that she would exclaim that she couldn''t imagine the picture of this treasure in her mind. And Xia Yu was also surprised. He did not expect that there would be so many treasures in Padmanaba Swami Temple! It seems that there was a problem with the excavation of the treasure in Padmanabaswami Temple in the previous life. In his previous life, when he watched the news, he only exposed the secret room No. A of Padmanabaswami Temple. Because no one knew whether there would be any treasures at the time, he could not hide the news when he was discovered. The media swarmed in, so the news was announced. The first secret room mentioned by Ma Qianjun was the secret room No. A exposed by previous news. Xia Yu remembered it clearly. At that time, he discovered the iconic thing, a golden elephant. The second secret room, which is the unannounced secret room B in the previous life, has more treasures than the first secret room, but no news has been leaked. Xia Yu guessed that it should be the high-level officials or large families of the three kingdoms who were divided up in the secret room A after the emergency and secret handling, and this is the only possibility! The explosion of secret room A in the previous life was worth 11.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the number of treasures in secret room B would only be more. If these things are discovered by the government, then the way back can only be a place like a museum, and the treasure belongs to the country. And the people. But before the official excavation was secretly divided up, this wealth is their own. With the government of the Three Kingdoms and the monstrous power of the high caste family, it is easy to do this kind of thing! After feeling emotional, Xia Yu left the speculation behind. No matter what the truth was, he couldn''t change it. He had discovered this treasure in advance. As long as you find a way to quietly transport the treasures of these two secret rooms from the three kingdoms, it will become his. Together, the value of the treasure is not easy to estimate right now, but according to the value analogy of later generations, it is worth at least 30 billion U.S. dollars! And as long as the three kingdoms become richer, the value of this treasure will be higher. "Uncle, you make a plan and arrange for someone you can trust to transport all these treasures out." Xia Yu immediately ordered Ma Qianjun. "Great!" Ma Qianjun nodded decisively. After ??, Ma Qianjun chatted with Li Qian a few more words and left. After the elder brother left, Li Qian flung himself on Xia Yu and blinked at Xia Yu. Her eyes were filled with joy and exploration: "A Yu, you found the treasure. It''s amazing. How did you find it?" Xia Yu said with a chuckle: "Rumours about the treasures of Padmanaba Swami Temple have always been there. After the independence of the three countries in 1947, the kingdom of Travanco and the kingdom of Cochin merged to form what is now Ka In Lalabang, people have always said that the underground palace of this temple preserves a large amount of wealth left by the kingdom in those days, but the temple administrators always thought it was just 4 secret rooms that had been opened." "I''m not sure there will be, but I accidentally learned that Padmanaba Swami Temple has six secret rooms. My instinct told me that there are still two secret rooms that have not been discovered, so I asked your brother to look for it. Find." "You know, my intuition is the most amazing." Li Qian nodded in agreement: "Hmm, Ayu, you are the Son of Destiny." Xia Yu laughed dumbly and stroked Li Qian''s back. At this time, Li Qian asked suddenly: "A Yu, I heard that the three kingdoms of Azerbaijan are composed of hundreds of countries. Since the two countries have so many treasures after the merger, you said that the three nations of Azerbaijan will not have any further follow-ups. This temple is like a temple with a lot of treasure hidden?" Xia Yu thought for a while and said affirmatively: ¡°There must be some. Due to religious beliefs and conceptual issues, the people of the Three Kingdoms do not like to save money. They only like to save gold, and they also like to donate gold ornaments to the temples. There is more gold than a local bank." I still remember the past lives. The three countries of Azerbaijan are known as the world¡¯s largest gold holders, and the private holdings of gold rank first in the world. The central banks of the three countries have only five or six hundred tons of gold, but each year they have to import seven or eight hundred tons of gold. The private gold holdings are estimated to be 24,000 to 25,000 tons, worth more than one trillion U.S. dollars, which are equivalent to the total national product of the three countries. Forty or fifty percent of the value! This wealth is not huge! The only temple that allows people to donate gold willingly, of course, also has the most gold. I still remember that there was a temple in Mumbai. The fixed deposits exposed alone reached $12.5 billion. I have to be sighed. "Ayu, do you want to look for other temples with folklore?" Li Qian suggested with some excitement. Xia Yu also came interested. He himself did not have a good impression of the Three Kingdoms. If there are such treasures, it would be a waste to hide them. If they were discovered, they belonged to the Three Kingdoms government or a large family of high castes. Some of uukanshu.com will definitely be used to benefit the Chinese in the future. "Cici, your suggestion is good. After the treasure of this temple is safely transported back, I will ask your brother to arrange a group of people to search for the treasure in the three kingdoms." Xia Yu agreed with Li Qian''s proposal with a smile. The greatest desire of people is the desire for exploration and curiosity, and Xia Yu is no exception. What''s more, this kind of treasure exploration is even more addictive. In history, many explorers have been exploring treasures throughout their lives. Not only can they satisfy the desire to explore, once they find a treasure, getting rich overnight is not a dream, enough for a family to inherit for hundreds of years! "By the way, the temples of the Three Kingdoms and other ancient countries have many treasures, but the place with the most treasures must be the ocean. The sunken ships of pirates and national trade are not rare." "I remember there are still many sunken ships that have not yet been discovered," "Anyway, I don''t need to do it myself, and there is a lot of money, and I am idle when I am idle. It is better to let this happiness come a few times..." Thinking of this, a look of expectation appeared on Xia Yu''s face. (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1345: You cant lose if you have a backer Chapter 1344 If you have a backer, you can¡¯t lose money (the second is more complete) came into interest. In the next few days, Xia Yu immersed himself in combing at home. The news of the major sunken ships and treasures of later generations is not hidden at all. Every time they are found, news is flying all over the sky. Especially in the Internet age, past news is constantly being turned up. Although he can''t remember all the information, he still knows some well-known shipwrecks and treasures. Westerners have many gold shipwrecks. For example, the Spanish Acato was salvaged in 1987. There were 40 tons of treasure on the ship, including nearly 8 tons of gold and 500 kilograms of gems. The value of all the treasures is about 4 One hundred million U.S. dollars. British Sussex, this ship was searched in 1998 and found in a sea area east of the Strait of Gibraltar for four years. It has a wreck worth 2.4 billion pounds of gold coins. There are also the Spanish gold fleet, the "Zhongmei" gold panning ship, etc., which have not been salvaged in the previous life, but have been raging. The Spanish gold fleet claimed to have five thousand carriages of jewels and was buried in Vigo Bay in the Atlantic Ocean. The ¡°Zhongmei¡± gold panning ship, which was obtained by gold prospectors in the western United States for eight years, sank in the Panamanian waters. Of course, there is also the ancient Chinese shipwreck that made Xia Yu choke. For example, the "Nanhai No. 1" shipwreck, a wooden ship that transported porcelain along the Maritime Silk Road in the early Southern Song Dynasty, sank in the Yangjiang waters of Guangdong Province. In the past, the Yangcheng Salvage Bureau and the British Salvage Company wanted to salvage the sunken ship of the East India Company. Rheinburg, and the accidentally discovered shipwreck "Nanhai No. 1". This shipwreck with a history of more than 800 years was discovered in August 1987, but because the mainland lacked sufficient salvage technology and strength, the information had to be kept hidden until it was salvaged in 2003. There are more than 4,000 pieces in total. Rare cultural relics, valued at more than 100 billion yuan in future generations. It¡¯s a good thing that this treasure ship was taken back by the mainland. But there is also the Huaxia Taixing shipwreck, with a million pieces of porcelain on it. It struck a rock in the South China Sea in 1822 and sank. It was accidentally discovered when a British marine company salvaged the 16th-century Huaxia shipwreck. The salvage expert Mike Ha did not respect it at all. In order to create a gimmick and facilitate the hype of Huaxia''s history, it is estimated that the 650,000 pieces of porcelain that were salvaged were broken, and the remaining 350,000 pieces of porcelain were sold for auction in Germany. At that time, only 72 pieces were auctioned back by Huaxia Dehua County. This is definitely an insult to Chinese culture! There are even more unrecovered shipwrecks similar to Taixing and Nanhai No.1. To sum up, the well-known direction of shipwreck salvage is along the ancient fixed trade routes and the seas of war. The East is mainly concentrated in the Indian Ocean, and the West is mainly concentrated in the Atlantic Ocean. The Maritime Silk Road in the East, as well as the transportation routes of the East India Company and other companies in the Indian Ocean, this piece of treasures such as gold and porcelain is simply not too much. The Atlantic Ocean was mainly the route that European countries used to transport gold cargo when they colonized the Americas. When Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other countries competed for maritime supremacy, not too many ships were sunk, and the sunk gold was countless. In addition to these two pieces, there are also pirate shipwrecks, shipwrecks in World War I and World War II, etc., especially the shipwreck in World War I and World War II. The news is the closest to the present. The key is to look at the ocean salvage technology and the secret luck. Xia Yu thinks that her luck will never be bad, and coupled with her own guidance, the probability of finding a shipwreck is the greatest. So what he needs most is to have a top marine salvage company, and it must be strong enough to have enough ships to operate separately at the same time. Although the more the salvage fleet, the greater the expenditure, but the greater the probability of success. He is not bad for money, and pulling out his legs is enough to raise a large marine salvage company. So the most important thing at the moment is to have a boat and a number of crew members. Although he has successively acquired Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Consortium and Swire Consortium before, there are also shipping companies involved. However, Xia Yu did not take the shipping company as an acquisition target because he knew the trend of the world shipping market. In the overall acquisition process, although this huge consortium¡¯s cross-shareholding company acquired equity in companies such as Swire Shipping. But the rest has been cleaned up. So that there is no shipping company in Xia Yu¡¯s business empire. But this also avoids the loss caused by the shrinking shipping market. Think about a newly built Panamanian ship worth 28 million US dollars in 1980, and the price of a second-hand ship will not exceed 10 million US dollars. According to the trend, the market will continue to shrink, and it should fall to the lowest point around September 1986, and then it will begin to bottom out. So there are still nearly two years left. But since it is going to be used now, and not intending to become the world''s ship king immediately, Xia Yu naturally will not continue to wait. Anyway, his consortium has huge shipping demand. For example, Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company are the two largest customers, while Rolls-Royce Motor Group and Tiangong Automobile Group are also major customers. Whether it is an oil tanker or a bulk carrier, there is a huge demand. Even if we acquire a shipping company now, as long as we don¡¯t want to add new ships and have a consortium¡¯s shipping business, we can¡¯t lose money! The shipping company backed by his consortium has advantages that other shipping companies do not have! "I just heard that Wheelock will not be able to hold it anymore. Check what the situation is. If it is appropriate, buy it, so as not to be bought by others later, I can use it in a hurry..." After thinking a little bit, Xia Yu made a decision in his heart, wrote down the matter on the paper, and immediately handed it over to Huo Jianning to arrange it. And Xia Yu put his mind on the two companies. Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company. He intends to break hands with the Rockefeller Consortium and the local tyrants in the Middle East in the oil field, and become the supreme master of the Blue Star in the mining field! Salvaging the sunken ship, apart from saving China¡¯s cultural relics, earning pocket money, and drawing fun, there is no way to make a fortune, and it will not play a pillar role in his career. But if you can become one of the giant crocodiles that can dominate the world''s energy and resources, then the influence is not necessarily. Especially in the two fields of gold and diamonds, the Rohill family has always had a huge influence. It¡¯s nothing more than the diamond industry. Compared with the gold industry, shoes are not worth it. But as long as the Roshir family still has the strongest influence and pricing power in the gold field, even if he has given the Roshir family two knives, the Roshir family can still recover from blood sucking everywhere. . But in the final analysis, although the gold futures have the greatest influence in the field of gold, the most important source is gold mines. If it is sitting on the world''s most gold mines, it will occupy the largest market share in global gold mining every year. The Rohill family wants to control the price of gold futures, so they have to look at his face! "You have to think about it, which big mines and oil fields are still undiscovered." "The names and part of the information of the well-known big oil fields and big mines in later generations can be remembered, but the specific information is a bit vague. It is a joke. It seems that the global oil and mining industry pattern and discovered resources must be investigated first." "This is a big project!" "Fortunately, I have been collecting global industry information before. Although I did not try my best to collect it due to manpower reasons, there should be certain results." "Now we have to tilt resources and do our best to do this..." PS: Everyone¡¯s comments are arranged, welcome to leave a message under the book chapter of the app (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1346: Wheelock Consortium! "The most powerful hero of rebirth (! Soon, Wheelock''s information was collected. Although the Wheelock Consortium is the only survivor of the four established British consortiums, in fact its prestige has long since ceased. Xiangjiang now is not the small pool of the year. After Xia Yu''s meticulous creation, Xiangjiang is changing with each passing day, the economy is very prosperous, and the financial market is full of vitality. In addition, there are no unstable political problems in Hong Kong. The successive listings of major companies in Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia, especially the leading companies in various industries under Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium, have long concealed the beauty of Wheelock''s consortium. And because of Xia Yu''s butterfly effect, the Wheelock Consortium is also very different from the previous life. The most obvious point is that in the past few years, the Madden family and the Zhang family have not lost information about Xiangjiang. Under the leadership of the Madden family, Wheelock Shipping has successively taken over the ships of many companies, especially Bao Yugang. Wheelock Shipping took over a large number of ships of the original Global Shipping Group. Nowadays, the total deadweight of ships owned by Wheelock Shipping has reached 3.37 million tons. There are also many ships that have not been delivered, and the booking amount is as high as 890 million Hong Kong dollars. In the final analysis, the economic prosperity of Xiangjiang only slightly concealed the crisis of world shipping, while the value of ships is still shrinking. The fixed assets of Wheelock Shipping¡¯s fleet are now about HK$4.15 billion. If the current number of ships is put in nearly five years ago, it would be worth 10 billion Hong Kong dollars! From 1978 to 1983, John Madden continued to add new ships. It was not until the end of last year that he discovered that the shipping market had not yet come to a point of change. The sense of crisis finally appeared and he stopped adding new ships. A series of mergers and acquisitions in the past also made Wheelock Shipping''s liabilities as high as 3.59 billion Hong Kong dollars! With the passage of time, the price of ships is still declining, and the fixed assets of Wheelock Shipping''s fleet are getting closer and closer to the company''s liabilities. At present, the market value of Wheelock Shipping Company is 10.38 billion Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as a super large company of the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. But the company''s total assets are 7.09 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the net assets are 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. It''s just that this net asset is mostly the value of the equity held by other companies. Wheelock Shipping is the core of the Wheelock Consortium, and the Wheelock Consortium does not have a special holding company like the Jardine Consortium. The Wheelock Consortium, in addition to itself, also owns five listed companies, namely United Dockyard Company, Real Estate Trust Company, Lane Crawford Retail Company, Federal Real Estate Company and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. Of course, many of these listed companies have cross-shareholdings. For example, United Dock Company holds a 7.2% stake in Wheelock Shipping Company, and Real Estate Trust Company holds a 6.4% stake in Wheelock Shipping Company. Wheelock Shipping Company holds 27.8% of United Dockyard Company, 38.2% of Real Estate Trust Company, 42.7% of Lane Crawford Retail Company, 44.5% of Commonwealth Real Estate Company, and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. 27.9% equity. The United Dockyard was formed by the merger of Taikoo Dockyard and Whampoa Dockyard, but the Swire Consortium and Hutchison Whampoa both cleared up their equity in the 1970s and withdrew. Now in addition to the dockyard, the assets are also ships, which can be said to be Wheelock. Shipping supporting company and industry younger brother. The Real Estate Trust Company is the financial core of the Wheelock Consortium, and John Madden has borrowed funds from this company many times. Lane Crawford retail company is rooted in the retail field. In addition to Lane Crawford hypermarkets, the company also has retail brands such as Le Chi and Super City. Federal Real Estate Corporation is the largest real estate pillar company of the Wheelock Consortium. The Hong Kong Undersea Tunnel Company can be said to be a slippery fish in the transportation industry. The company owns the franchise of the undersea tunnel. The most profitable tunnel is the Hung Hom Tunnel, the busiest and most used tunnel. Among the six listed companies in total, they also hold many shares of unlisted companies or subsidiaries. These companies together form the Wheelock Consortium. Of course, the survey report shows that although the market value of Wheelock Shipping is still as high as tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, in fact, the market value of Wheelock Shipping has been falling, which is contrary to the broader market. Wheelock Shipping''s tens of billions of market value is not supported by the company''s shipping business, but is supported by dividends from other companies. In fact, in the shipping business, the financial report of Wheelock Shipping Company in the first half of this year showed that its shipping business lost 73.59 million Hong Kong dollars. And this is just a business loss. The more critical fixed value of the fleet has shrunk. Wheelock Shipping Company deliberately concealed this aspect. The purpose of this is very obvious, it is to maintain Wheelock Shipping''s stock price. From the perspective of the company''s profits, Wheelock Shipping Company should be regarded as a financial company, because profits are basically the dividends of other companies. The hidden dangers of Wheelock Shipping have been seen in the capital market. At present, Wheelock Shipping Company still has an unpaid order of 890 million Hong Kong dollars for new ships. Based on the company''s situation, this order cannot be discarded. At that time, it can only borrow from the bank or borrow from other financial companies. Adding 30% of the advance payment, the total value of these undelivered ships was 1.271 billion Hong Kong dollars when the contract was signed. By now, the value of these new ships has shrunk to 940 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss has reached 330 million Hong Kong dollars. Once delivered, it means that Wheelock Shipping will add 890 million Hong Kong dollars in debt, raising the company''s debt to 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. And Wheelock Shipping''s net assets will further decline. If the value of ships continues to shrink, there will be situations where the fixed assets of the fleet are lower than the company''s liabilities. By then, the banks will take coercive measures. Unless Wheelock Shipping Company takes cash or other assets, increases the collateral, and avoids the bank from compulsory disposal of assets. So now the situation is very obvious, the Wheelock consortium is about to be dragged down by Wheelock Shipping. Once in order to save Wheelock Shipping Company, the transfer of equity in other companies to return funds. Wheelock Shipping can continue to survive, but the Wheelock consortium will begin to fall apart. "The net assets are only 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the market value is about three times the net assets, which is still a bit high." "You have to suppress the stock price first, otherwise, once the acquisition is initiated, the stock price will definitely skyrocket, and there is no need to spend more money." "Well... let the Bright Fund do it, it''s relatively unobtrusive." After the decision, Xia Yu gave instructions and asked Huo Jianning to make arrangements. quickly. There is more pessimistic analysis on the world shipping market in public opinion, and in order not to arouse suspicion, the first news originated in British newspapers, and the newspapers here in Hong Kong were reprinted. Then the media of Hong Kong analyzed the major shipping companies of Hong Kong ~ www.novelhall.com~ As some institutions shorted Wheelock Shipping, the market value of Wheelock Shipping began to decline rapidly. In just half a month, the market value has shrunk from 10.38 billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly two tiers, to 8.45 billion Hong Kong dollars. Just when the Guangming Fund Xiangjiang Branch was ready to buy. Suddenly, a Cheng Yaojin came out! PS: I need to check the information. Wheelock is completely unable to compare with the other three. The difficulty of searching the information is at least ten times higher, which is too little. It¡¯s going to be updated tonight, I¡¯m going to sort out the plot, Cavin v3 Chapter 1347: Australias 3 largest consortia "The most powerful hero of rebirth (! "Chairman, this is the specific investigation and the situation of the relevant company." After the unexpected situation occurred, less than a day later, the situation was cleared up below, and Huo Jianning reported the result to Xia Yu. "Okay, I''ll take a look first. Go ahead and call you if I have something to do." After dismissing Huo Jianning, Xia Yu picked up the investigation and browsed it. Halfway through, it was an Australian company called Toll. With an investment of HK$1.95 billion, it will take over all the equity of Wheelock Shipping Company held by the Madden family, accounting for 21.1% of the total share capital. Toll is an old Australian logistics company founded in 1888. It started from a small carriage and has been working for nearly a hundred years. Currently, it is Australia''s largest integrated logistics provider, and its business includes land fleet, warehousing, shipping, air logistics, port operations and railway rolling stock operations. Of course, Toll is not the strongest in Australia in terms of international shipping business. But it is the largest private company in this field, second only to the state-owned Australian National Shipping Company. In this acquisition of Wheelock Shipping Company, Toll did not act alone. Except for the local Hong Kong Luohill parent company as the acquisition consultant, there are several major banks behind it for financial support, and all of them are foreign banks. They are Australia''s Westpac Bank, British Barclays Bank and British National Westminster Bank, of which Westpac Bank is the biggest supporter. And this also involves the background of Toll, which involves a higher level of consortium than a single company. Toll is the core company of the Sydney consortium, one of the three major consortia in Australia, and it is the backbone of the logistics and transportation field! ... After reading the investigation, Xia Yu couldn''t help but sneer. The Australian consortium is nothing more than expanding abroad, but it has robbed him of his prey, and his appetite is not small, so he directly dealt with Wheelock Shipping. The acquisition of Wheelock Shipping Company is the acquisition of the entire Wheelock Consortium. Xia Yu felt something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he recruited Huo Jianning again. "Jianning, I read the investigation report and asked Bright Fund to suspend access to major shareholders. First, it will attract a portion of the stock market and raise the stock price. "In addition, immediately find out the situation of the Sydney consortium in Australia, especially those related to them in the Xiangjiang area, and check it out for me, and give it to me as soon as possible." "Yes, I''ll make arrangements right away!" Huo Jianning responded respectfully. "Go ahead, as soon as possible." After Xia Yu said, he waved his hand to let Huo Jianning go down. After Toll''s intervention, the plan to acquire Wheelock Shipping has been disrupted. Toll has won the second largest shareholder and the equity of the Madden family in charge. Under unclear circumstances, it is the most stupid way to compete rashly. Now let''s muddy the water first, creating trouble for Toll and hindering their acquisition. After he thinks clearly, with his strength and resources, there is always a way to deal with it. ... If you don¡¯t check it, you don¡¯t know, the problem will be found after a check. Three days later, the details of the Sydney consortium were investigated. The Sydney Consortium is one of the three largest consortia in Australia. There are four core families, namely the Fairfax family, the Knox family, the Jonathan family and the Johnston family. The financial core of the Sydney Consortium is Westpac and Insurance Australia, which are currently Australia''s second largest bank and third largest insurance company. There are many companies under the Sydney Consortium, with large companies in mining, machinery, construction materials, paper, chemical, food, sugar, retail and other industries. For example, the Queensland Sugar Company, which monopolizes 75% of Australia''s market share and is also the largest export share holder, and the New Zealand Sugar Company. Australia''s top three Australian Northern Mining Corporation. In the mining sector, there are also Australia Joan Leishart Company, Australian Tobemark Company, Buchanan Bolle Hall Coal Company, Mont Gunson Mining Company, Gove Bauxite Company, Pibara Iron Ore Company, etc. . There are also Clyde Industries, Goodwin Materials, and Commonwealth Machinery in the industrial and mechanical manufacturing fields. Carter Holt, one of the Big Four in the paper and packaging industry. Fairfax Group, one of the four major newspaper groups. Large real estate and retail company-Westfield Group. Lion King Beer Company ranked second among the three major brewing companies. In addition, there are Australian Quarry Company, Australian Chemical Company and so on. Many of these companies in the Sydney Consortium have already entered Hong Kong. For example, Fairfax Group has successively acquired two small newspapers in Xiangjiang and renamed them "Xiangjiang News" and "East Asia News". They have been published for more than a year, and they have also adopted the early-stage free strategy to grow rapidly. At present, the daily circulation of the two newspapers is 25,000 and 37,000 respectively, which can be considered a successful foothold. Fairfax Group has also invested in Xiangjiang TVB, currently holding 15.8% of the shares, and is the second largest shareholder after Shao Laoliu. Fairfax Group competes with Jiuding Newspaper Company and Global Satellite TV, although it is currently at an absolute disadvantage. Queensland Sugar Company acquired Xiangjiang Yinghua Trading Company, which is one of the main traders in Xiangjiang Sugar Trading. Queensland Sugar is also a competitor of Taikoo Sugar, a subsidiary of Taikoo Agricultural Group, a subsidiary of Xia Yu''s Jiuding Industrial Group. The Australian insurance company also entered the Hong Kong market in February 1983 and set up a branch to carry out insurance business in Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries, and compete with Jiuding Insurance Group. There is also the Westfield Group, which entered Hong Kong in April 1983 and is currently developing a shopping center. Needless to say, Westpac Bank of Australia has long established a branch in Hong Kong. Before starting to acquire Wheelock Shipping, the Sydney consortium had entered Hong Kong in six areas, basically competing with Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding consortium. Although they are absolutely disadvantaged and cannot shake the position of Jiuding Consortium in various industries, competition means competition! The rapid development of Hong Kong has had a siphonic effect on the Southeast Asian economy, and therefore has a huge influence on foreign capital consortia such as the Sydney Consortium. On this point, Xia Yu had already prepared. The big consortiums in Europe and the United States and the big consortiums in island countries have entered more and earlier fields than the Sydney consortium. For example, in the insurance industry, Jiuding Insurance Company occupies a leading position in the market. The remaining nine of the top ten in the market are AIA, Prudential Insurance, Metropolitan Life, Manulife Life, Dutch National Life, AXA Life, Yasuda Life, Allianz Insurance and Fatong Insurance. There are two British insurance companies, two American insurance companies, one French insurance company, one German insurance company, one Dutch insurance company, one Canadian insurance company, and one island country insurance company. Of course, because Canada''s Manulife Life Insurance Company was acquired by Bright Fund, this insurance company is actually a UK-scoped insurance company, and it is also Xia Yu''s. Consider the predecessor of Jiuding Insurance Company, Jardine Insurance Company. At that time, none of the top ten insurance companies in Hong Kong was local. Having said that, it is impossible without competition in various markets. To be the leader in various markets, you have to accept competition from latecomers. There is nothing to say. Xia Yu couldn''t deliberately clean up every force, and there was no need for it. The economic take-off of Xiangjiang also needs a steady stream of foreign investment to help it. It is impossible to close the country. However, the Sydney consortium should not be absolutely unaware of it. It is just looking for something to eat in front of Xia Yu! What''s more, according to the investigation, the Sydney consortium is also closely related to the Rohill family. The Sydney consortium was able to quickly gain a foothold in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang Luohill''s parent company contributed a lot. This time, the Madden family surrendered all the equity so quickly, and it was also assisted by Xiangjiang Luohill''s parent company. In Australia, the Sydney consortium is also an ally of the Rohill family. "It seems that the Roshir family and I are really old friends I have thought about taking a good rest in Xiangjiang, and this is sent to me again. If I don¡¯t cut a knife, wouldn¡¯t it be too shameless? Oh, ha ha..." After Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, he took out the pen and paper and fell into thinking. Just making a fuss on Wheelock Shipping Company seems to be too small. Others have rushed into his hard-working lair. It is not his style to defend but not attack... PS: I¡¯m going to update today, and I¡¯m still collecting data. It¡¯s harder to collect data on this **** in Australia than in Canada. Apart from being a dog for Britain and the United States, the sense of presence in other aspects is too low. v3 Chapter 1348: Still take the initiative "The most powerful hero of rebirth (! The Sydney Consortium is one of Australia''s three major economic hegemons. Although its strength is far worse than him, it has the home field advantage. Therefore, to defeat the Sydney consortium in Australia, it takes a long time to deploy and the amount of funds required is not small. Fortunately, Australia is a member of the Commonwealth. Many companies under the Bright Fund have branches in Australia, such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bright Fund, Royal Bank of Scotland, Mirror Group and so on. With the existence of these financial companies, it is convenient for funds to enter Australia in a low-key manner. In response to the attack by the Sydney consortium, Xia Yu handed it over to the think tank below to make a plan, which was regarded as a kind of exercise. On the side of Xiangjiang, Defeng Shipping Company will acquire this piece, and Xia Yu is ready to play with the Sydney consortium casually. Just as a pastime. Xia Yu immediately adjusted the plan, proceeding in both light and dark. Obviously, Dingfeng Securities, a joint venture between Jiuding Securities and HSBC Securities, has come forward to participate in the competition for the equity of Wheelock Shipping. Secretly, it acquired the equity of five other listed companies of the Wheelock Consortium, United Dockyard Company, Real Estate Trust Company, Lane Crawford Retail Officer, Federal Real Estate Company and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. You don¡¯t need too many targets for the acquisition. All you need to do is to secretly hold 33.4% of the shares. The purpose is not to grab control of the company, but in other aspects, so the requirements are not high, and the action is not difficult. At present, the largest number of Xiangjiang companies is Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Consortium, which is decentralized. Each company acquires less than 5% of the corresponding equity, and it will be fine if it does not reach the placard line. Soon, various companies took action. Dingfeng Securities bought large-scale stocks in the stock market and contacted Zhang Yuliang''s family, the majority shareholder. Toll has hired Xiangjiang Luohill''s parent company as its acquisition consultant. Their company''s actions were also facilitated by the Luohill family, and they have long been staring at the stock market, shareholders and Xia Yu. The actions of Dingfeng Securities Co., Ltd. were immediately informed. Justin Kyle, the president of Toll''s Asian branch and the vice president of the head office, immediately got together with Charles Rohill, the chairman of the Xiangjiang Rohill parent company, to discuss countermeasures. "Mr. Charles, depending on the situation, our acquisition has encountered a big problem for me. How do we need to adjust our plan?" Justin Kyle sat on the sofa, frowning, and said uneasyly. The acquisition of Wheelock Shipping is the most important part of the parent company''s international expansion and the most important task in his career. He does not want to fail. Toll has been thinking about Wheelock Shipping last year, but it has not found a suitable opportunity. This time the Rohill family is willing to help, it is definitely the most likely to succeed, otherwise the consortium will not go down. Determined to do it. If this situation can still fail, the blow to his ability and reputation will be fatal. Charles Rohill said to Justin Kyle: "Mr. Justin, don''t worry, let me introduce the situation to you first." Justin Kyle took a deep breath and said sternly: "Please speak." Charles Lowhill said slowly: "You should not be clear about the background of Dingfeng Securities. There are two shareholders behind it, HSBC Securities and Jiuding Securities. The most terminal of these two companies is the British Bright Fund and Xiangjiang. Jiuding Consortium." Hearing this, Justin Kyle''s face instantly became gloomy, and he felt that a mountain suddenly appeared on his back. He may not know Dingfeng Securities Company, but he is no stranger to the two giants of Bright Fund and Jiuding Consortium. Now that a company that the two Big Macs cooperated with has been killed out, it is difficult for Toll to withstand it. The acquisition of Wheelock Shipping Company has suddenly cast a shadow. As if seeing Justin Kyle¡¯s nervousness, Charles Rohill smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Justin, don¡¯t worry, although Dingfeng Securities has emerged, we still have the initiative. ." "We have taken the equity of the Madden family, and the Madden family''s position in Wheelock Shipping." "With a 21.1% equity advantage, it is not easy for Dingfeng Securities to catch up." Justin Kyle felt relieved and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Rohill, then we only need to acquire the shares of Zhangjia, the largest shareholder, according to the previous plan?" Charles Rohill nodded and combed his thoughts: "Yes, as long as you take the equity of Zhangjia, Toll will own 55.7% of the equity." "The third largest shareholder and the fourth largest shareholder are United Dockyard Company and Real Estate Trust Company, holding 7.2% and 6.4%, respectively." "Both companies are controlled by Wheelock Shipping, which holds 27.8% of United Dockyard Company and 38.2% of Real Estate Trust Company." "As long as the control rights of United Dockyard Company and Real Estate Trust Company are not taken away, Toll will control 69.3% of Wheelock Shipping Company. No one can take it away!" "Look, it''s the same as I just said, don''t be nervous." "This is also the reason why I must help you win the equity of the Madden family in the first place. Although they are the second largest shareholder, they are responsible for the operation of the company. The prestige is not comparable to the Zhang Yuliang family." "At present we have a lot of initiative!" Justin Kyle accepted Charles Rohill¡¯s explanation. He focused his eyebrows for a moment and said: "That is to say, now we only need to stabilize the advantage and act separately from three aspects." "We must grab the equity of Zhang Yuliang''s family, and then increase our holdings of United Dockyard Company and Real Estate Trust Company, and maintain control of these two companies." "Can you even give up on the stock market?" Charles Rohill smiled and nodded: "Yes!" "As long as it can grab the equity held by Zhang Yuliang''s family, Dingfeng Securities will naturally withdraw." "If it fails and is not snatched, then if you control the United Dockyard Company and the Real Estate Trust Company, Toll''s control of equity can reach 34.7%, and at least a veto is preserved." "According to Wheelock Shipping¡¯s "Articles of Association", more than two-thirds of the shareholders must vote for approval. Now John Madden has not retired from the position of chairman, so he can suspend his actions. He is ours. On this side, Toll has entrusted him to hold the voting rights on his behalf, and his prestige is also higher than that of Zhang Yuliang¡¯s family." "We are stuck here, and Dingfeng Securities will not be able to achieve the goal. In the end they have to sit down and negotiate. "But my suggestion is that there is no need to go to this point and directly **** the equity held by the Zhang Yuliang family to avoid hidden dangers!" "But based on the current situation, the cost of the acquisition needs to be more." "The most important thing now is how determined your company is!" "You can ask the above to see how it decides." "I can give you an affirmative answer. No matter how much funds are needed, Barclays Bank will help. At the same time, we will persuade National Westminster Bank to continue to provide financial support." Barclays Bank is a bank controlled by the Rohill family. Although the National Westminster Bank is not controlled, the Rohill family has a large proportion of shares and has a lot of influence, and it can also influence the management to make decisions. After receiving this affirmative answer, Justin Kyle settled down. The next step is to look at the ideas of the parent company and the consortium, and he is not responsible. "Mr. Charles, I see." "I will immediately ask the above now I have to trouble you to step in first." Justin Kyle solemnly pleaded. Charles Rohill smiled and replied: "No problem. Give me an answer as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the higher the acquisition cost will be." "Ok." "Mr. Charles, I''ll go now, excuse me." "You''re welcome!" PS: Ask for subscription v3 Chapter 1349: You have to spit it out "The most powerful hero of rebirth (! The fate of the last British-funded consortium affected the entire upper class of HeungKong Capital. In particular, Dingfeng Securities Co., Ltd., which has the color of the Jiuding Consortium, is one of the parties, and it makes all the bigwigs look at it. The media did not dislike the hype, and the people who ate melons watched the excitement. And some caring people called one after another, asking Xia Yu about the situation, asking if he needed to be a leader. The most positive among them is the old Tie Bao Yu Gang. Bao Yugang considered that he hadn''t met Xia Yu for a while, so he went to visit directly. "A Yu, long time no see!" "It''s true that I haven''t seen each other for a while, let''s find a time to go out and gather together." "Old Bao, come in quickly." After a few greetings at the door, Xia Yu greeted Bao Yugang in, and the servant made tea for the first time. They are all his own, and Bao Yugang didn''t evade anything. He smiled and asked: "A Yu, I heard that you are planning to cut off the last banner of the British consortium?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I have this idea." Then he shook his head and said helplessly: "It''s just an accident. Now everyone is watching the show." Bao Yugang heard Xia Yu''s illocutionary meaning, smiled, and asked inquisitively: "Oh? You mean the Australian consortium cut your Hu?" Xia Yu nodded and said, "That''s right, otherwise you think, well, how could the market value of Wheelock Shipping plummet by two billion Hong Kong dollars in just half a month." Thinking of Wheelock Shipping''s previous stock price changes, Bao Yugang''s expression became more serious than before. This is an inside story that he and others don''t know. Before Wheelock Shipping''s market value fell, he also suspected that someone was sitting in the village, but he didn''t think about Xia Yu. Because the news came from the UK, and it was aimed at the entire shipping market. Not only the stock price of Wheelock Shipping Company plummeted, but the stocks of some other shipping companies in Hong Kong stocks were also falling. Heung Kong''s capital was limited by his vision. Naturally, he did not see that Xia Yu was acting behind the scenes, but he thought it was an accident. That is, the Lowhill family, who had been staring at Xia Yu and the Bright Fund, discovered the anomaly from the media, and then strayed from it. "A Yu, it seems that I came to the right day. The Australian consortium picks the peaches you ordered. How can they not let them easily succeed." "I have been friends with Zhang Yuliang for decades, and he also owes me some favors. I will help you to talk about it and see if he can transfer the equity to you." "At that time, Zhang Yuliang tried his best to infiltrate Wheelock and become the largest shareholder. Although he did not get the right to operate and manage, he can be regarded as a boost to the Chinese people." "If he really intends to transfer equity, he can''t make it cheaper to outsiders." Bao Yugang patted his thigh and asked Ying to help Xia Yu. Unexpectedly, Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Old Bao, this is not necessary." "Come on, drink tea." Bao Yugang was a little confused by Xia Yu''s reaction. He took a sip from his teacup and put it down again, staring at Xia Yu, and asked, "A Yu, do you have a deeper plan?" "Still already done Zhang Yuliang?" Xia Yu smiled and said, "I have other plans." "I want to win Wheelock Shipping, but this is definitely not the case." "The timing is wrong. The price of the acquisition is certainly not low. Instead of consuming your favor, it is better to make Zhang Yuliang owe personal favor." Bao Yugang smiled bitterly and said, "A Yu, the more I listen, the more confused I become. You want Wheelock Shipping and Zhang Yuliang owes favors. This is very contradictory!" "Haha..." Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. "Old Bao, thanks to you for coming, I just thought of it." "I can''t sell this favor if you don''t come. There is a little risk in the implementation of the previous plan. You can help me when you come." Bao Yugang said with emotion: "Hey, I am getting old, so I won''t follow you anymore. Tell me what you want me to do." Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "In this way, there are mainly two things that will trouble you." "The first thing is that you go to Zhang Yuliang in private and ask about his attitude. If he really intends to transfer the equity, you can tell him directly, let him sell it to Australian Tolling, and Dingfeng Securities will cooperate with him. price." "The second thing involves five listed companies under Wheelock Shipping''s United Dockyard Company, Real Estate Trust Company, Lane Crawford Retail Company, Commonwealth Real Estate Company and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company." "You should have a better relationship with many of the shareholders of these five companies. Please help me buy the equity. I need to get more than one-third of the equity in each company. Just do it in private. Don''t make a big fuss." Bao Yugang understood a bit, but there was still something he couldn''t figure out, but he didn''t bother to struggle, anyway, he knew that no one could make Xia Yu suffer. "Okay, it seems that you have a way to get them to vomit Wheelock Shipping, then I won''t worry about it." "I helped you with these two things." "In recent years, Xiangjiang has developed so fast, Zhang Yuliang has long been uncomfortable with Wheelock. Although he is the largest shareholder, John Madden is overbearing, and the two families have long been close together." "One more thing, the cold winter of the shipping market still hasn''t passed. Zhang Yuliang has long opposed the expansion of the fleet. It is John Madden who will go his own way. Now he has the opportunity to withdraw completely and can sell the equity at a high price. He is unsure of this great favor!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "Old Bao, I would trouble you to bother." "Hey, what are you doing so politely, what a errand for you, haha..." Bao Yugang laughed loudly, as if full of air. "Hey, Old Bao, it seems that your health is much better?" Xia Yu noticed something strange, looked at Bao Yugang and said. Bao Yugang smiled very happily, and patted his chest: "The body is indeed very healthy. Thanks to Master Li''s excellent medical skills, he has cured my disease. It is really a genius doctor!" "Master Li said that I may not live a long life, but Ninety-Nine can look forward to it." Xia Yu also smiled, happy for Bao Yugang. "That''s great. Ninety-nine can reach 2017, and I can talk to you for decades, haha..." After chatting for a while, the two agreed to gather together for a while, and then Bao Yugang said goodbye. He personally sent Bao Yugang out and watched his vehicle leave before Xia Yu returned to the house. Having nothing to do, I turned on the TV and changed channels to search for programs I wanted to watch. At this moment, Xia Yu clicked on the Global Sports Channel, and the content of the broadcast caught his eye. "The current chairman of the AFC, Tan Sri Hansha Absama, said that in view of the professionalization of football in Asian countries and the increasingly fertile soil of football competition, the AFC is discussing the possibility of restarting the Asian Club Championship in 1985. Sex..." "According to reliable sources, officials within the AFC have proposed to change the name of the Asian Club Championship..." "Once this all-Asian football match is really restarted, it will after all play a huge role in promoting the current Asian football. Whether it can have a positive impact on the chaos and malaise of the Hong Kong football is not known for the time being, Bulova Football Team The dissolution of Hong Kong has caused heavy losses to the Hong Kong football..." I don''t know when, this report has been released. However, Xia Yu fell into contemplation Regarding the creation of Xiangjiang, he has always focused on the two areas of economy and people''s livelihood. In the spiritual civilization, besides entertainment, sports are indeed neglected. Sports reflect the spirit of a nation. If the spirit of the people of Xiangjiang is insufficient, empty wealth is only a nouveau riche. "It''s also time to pay attention to the development of Hong Kong''s sports..." Xia Yu muttered to himself with his gaze. v3 Chapter 1350: Upset the entire market (large "The most powerful hero of rebirth (! The situation in Hong Kong football was quickly investigated. The Hong Kong football game can be traced back to 1886, when the employees of the British firm formed the Hong Kong Football Club. It was not until 1908 that the Hong Kong Football League was established. In the early stage, only foreign players participated, and the championship has always been monopolized by the British and foreigners. It was not until 1923-24 that the South China team became the first Chinese team to win the League Championship. It was suspended for a while during World War II, and then began to recover after the war. Over the past few decades, Hong Kong football has been very prosperous. Fans have been waiting all night to wait for tickets. At its peak, Xiangjiang, a small place with millions of people, had as many as fourteen teams in Group A. But after entering eighty years, Xiangjiang football began to become chaotic and gradually declined. Starting from the twelve Group A teams in 1980, until the start of the season in June this year, the Bulova Football Team announced its disbandment, leaving only nine Group A teams! At this time, the nine Group A teams are Seiko, Nanhua, Haifeng, Yuyuan, Chevalier, Dongsheng, Dongfang, Wandering, and Tsuen Wan. Xiangjiang Football can be described as capital for success and capital for failure. In the past, the capital bosses of Xiangjiang all invested in football, so every team has the ability to introduce foreign aid to ensure the quality of the league and the excitement of the game. However, most of the capital is short-sighted. They only take into account the benefits of advertising. Players can change if they can''t. They don''t pay attention to local youth training. They know the introduction of foreign aid, so that some teams can even have seven foreign aids! The disadvantages of introducing foreign players have gradually emerged. The influx of a large number of foreign players has not only squeezed the development space of local players, but also caused many teams to operate at a loss. The Xiangjiang Football Association has vigorously reformed, but the approach is more radical. It has successively issued "foreign restrictions" and "foreign ban", and even launched all-China classes and "youth classes" with young players, so that the level of competition is serious. Decline, the audience is not a fool, the ball market is no longer prosperous, and the once empty streets of tens of thousands of people have turned into a lonely bird. Under this circumstance, some lagging teams could not withstand the pressure and could not see the hope of the future. Capital successively withdrew their capital and disbanded the team. The Bulova team was disbanded for this reason. Xia Yu still remembers that it seems that the Seiko Football Team will also announce its dissolution in the next two years. The information here shows that the Jinggong football team was founded by Huang Chuangshan, the Bulova football team was founded by Huang Chuanghua, and the two are brothers. And the father of the two brothers happened to be a core member of the Southeast Asian consortium, Huang Ziming, a wealthy businessman in Thailand. The Seiko football team is currently the second largest team in Hong Kong football and has won nine league championships. The No. 1 giant is undoubtedly the oldest South China football team, which has won 19 league championships. It''s just that from 1977-78 to the present, no league championship has been won. In the past six years, the Seiko football team has won six consecutive championships! After reading the information, Xia Yu thought for a long time, and then asked Huang Chuangshan, the chairman of the Jinggong football team, to visit his home. ... Huang Chuangshan is a 34-year-old middle-aged man. As the third son of Thailand¡¯s top wealthy businessman Huang Ziming, he has built a prestigious Seiko football team. Huang Chuangshan has a high status in society. But when he came to Xia Yu''s house, he put his posture very low. Although he was older than Xia Yu, he seemed to regard himself as a junior. No way, after receiving Xia Yu''s invitation, Huang Chuangshan was shocked and hurriedly asked his father Huang Ziming for advice. After being told by his father, he came to Xia Yu''s house with anxiety. "Mr. Xia, hello, I am Huang Chuangshan, and my father asked me to greet you!" When he walked in, Huang Chuangshan also personally carried a bag of fine fruits with both hands. This was what his father taught him. Xia Yu doesn¡¯t need anything. He might not be able to use it if he took a gift. Just bring the fruit. Xia Yu will not be late for his family You can also eat, and it''s considered courtesy. "Mr. Huang, please come in. I have received your father''s greetings. Next time I will thank him in person." Xia Yu didn''t put on airs, smiled and invited Huang Chuangshan into the house. "Mr. Huang, just sit down and don''t be restrained. Would you like tea or coffee?" "Tea is fine, thank you!" "Well, tea has to wait a while, and some fruits and snacks." After a few gentle greetings with a smile on his face, Xia Yu saw that Huang Chuangshan was still a little unwilling to let go. He couldn''t help but step into the subject directly. "Mr. Huang, please come over this time, mainly to talk to you about Xiangjiang Football." Hearing the football he was proud of, Huang Chuangshan''s heart was certain, his sense of restraint disappeared instantly, and he straightened up and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, please speak, I must know everything and answer everything." Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "Okay, I heard that Xiangjiang football has a lot of drawbacks at present, and internal contradictions are relatively large." "I want to hear your opinion." Huang Chuangshan''s spirits lifted up, thinking of something deeper, and a little excited in his heart. He realized that this is an opportunity to make a huge change in Xiangjiang football! He has already made a lot of suggestions on the issue of Xiangjiang football, but due to various reasons, he has little right to speak, and he can''t do certain things if he wants to promote. But if the big guy in front of you is willing to do something, then the Xiangjiang Football Association will have to be submissive. He took a deep breath, sorted out the mixed thoughts, and then respectfully said: "Mr. Xia, I do have some opinions of my own. If I say something wrong, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge." "Let''s talk, today is just for communication, just talk freely." Xia Yu said with a smile, once again reducing Huang Chuangshan''s psychological pressure. Huang Chuangshan talked eloquently: "Mr. Xia, now Xiangjiang football is indeed at a critical moment of survival!" "I admit that the foreign restrictions and bans imposed by the Hong Kong Football Association have had a great impact on our teams, so that my second brother disbanded the Bulova football team." "The starting point of the FA is good, even if it affects the interests of the Seiko football team, but the FA is too radical." "At present, Xiangjiang Football is unable to finally achieve the All-China Class without ensuring the level of competition. Because the Hong Kong Football is not connected, the most important thing the FA should do is to build a youth training system and reform it step by step." "Building a youth training requires a lot of investment, but I am ready, but other conservative teams are reluctant to do so. They just want to drive us to death, restrict the entry of foreign aid, and reduce the salary level of local players to a low level. For ordinary people, this is absolutely impossible. The salary of players cannot guarantee the support of their families. It will definitely provide a living space for fake gambling black, and players have to live!" "I am more inclined to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Only in this way can the cake of Xiangjiang Ball Market be made bigger and bigger, and Xiangjiang Football will become more and more prosperous." "The FA wants to maintain the football soil of Xiangjiang. I also support it, but it cannot give up the level of competition. This is the worst. Without a wonderful game, it will not attract enough fans. In the end, Xiangjiang Football will only Heading for decline." "For this, I have some ideas. I think it is possible to introduce policies to limit the upper limit of foreign aid for each team to ensure the level of competition while also providing space for the local players of Hong Kong to grow and continuously improve their level." "As for the conservative team, I think it is very expensive. I think all teams can be like our Seiko football team. The football team can either use a commercial sponsor as the team name, or add the name of the sponsor, backed by big capital. Naturally there is money to build the entire team system." "It''s just that the current situation of the Xiangjiang Football League A is difficult to change, and there are big drawbacks. The most obvious is the safety of the stadium and the successive large-scale football hooligans disrupting public order." "Most of the teams do not have their own stadiums. For games, the Hong Kong Stadium and Mong Kok Stadium are rented. Since the Mong Kok Stadium started in 1980, the police will no longer rent it out." "Except for the Hong Kong Stadium, some of the remaining are small stadiums, which can accommodate between eight and nine hundred people to one or two thousand people. The situation of fans climbing hills and walls to watch the game is highlighted, and there are many hidden dangers to public security." "But the major teams do not have enough capital to own their own stadiums, and the current operating system is also difficult to attract enough large capital to enter, so I think it is best to build another league in the Xiangjiang League. Establish a foundation to rebuild a bigger league." "Mr. Xia, I''m sorry to say so much all at once." After speaking, Huang Chuangshan expressed apologies, but still had some meanings. Xia Yu smiled and said, "It is very good, and it is very comprehensive. It gave me a lot of information I need, thank you!" Huang Chuangshan said hurriedly and modestly: "Mr. Xia is polite, it is my honor to be able to use me!" Xia Yu drank a sip of tea and said to Huang Chuangshan: "Xiangjiang''s football must have a competitive level and be able to train local players. Your idea is correct. The Jinggong football team operates very well." "A prosperous football market can raise a high-level team. Maybe it won''t be long before we have to compete on the same stage. Then we have to learn from the Seiko football team." Huang Chuangshan was both surprised and delighted, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Xia, you are able to enter football, it is the blessing of Xiangjiang football. I have only achieved meager results now, which is really not worth mentioning." "Haha..." "For the time being, don''t disclose it to the outside world. I still have some things I haven''t thought about." Xia Yu smiled and told Huang Chuangshan. "Please rest assured, I must be tight-lipped." Huang Chuangshan hurriedly responded. ... Two days passed. A yacht was anchored on the blue sea. Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong each took a sea pole and fished comfortably on the yacht¡¯s deck. "A Yu, there is still a lot of trouble outside because of the Wheelock incident, but you are fishing here with us. If it spreads out, it will definitely surprise many people." Simply fishing is too boring, everyone chatted on the boat, Huo Yingdong said to Xia Yu jokingly. "It''s just Wheelock. You can''t get over the big waves. Why waste too much energy? It''s better to do something meaningful." Xia Yu chuckled and said casually. Huo Yingdong suddenly felt full of emotion, and said to Bao Yugang beside him: "Old Bao, listen to this tone, the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars consortium can only be regarded as the only word in the mouth of A Yu. When can we be so proud. It''s all right once horizontally." "Yes, the two of us are incomparable with A Yu. As soon as his name as the terminator of the British consortium came out, it was too late for Wheelock to hide." Bao Yugang sang a peace with Huo Yingdong and joked about Xia Yu. Xia Yu shook his head helplessly. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong liked to tease him more and more. But this is also a manifestation of the good relationship between the three of them. "Hey, bite!" "It doesn''t look small." At this moment, Xia Yu found that the float was sinking rapidly. After he finished speaking, he hurriedly began to raise the line. Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong stopped joking, watched Xia Yu pull the fish, and guessed. "Looking at this curvature, it must be at least 20 catties, but I don''t know if it is a grouper." "I can''t stop at twenty catties, at least thirty catties!" ... After fighting for a long time, the fish finally came out of the water. It turned out to be a big fish. Finally, with the assistance of bodyguards, the fish was picked up, which was a 34-jin gentian grouper. The fish caught was immediately used by the chef to cook, and Xia Yu and the three continued to fish. At this time, another topic was changed, and Xia Yu took the initiative to bring it up. "Lao Huo, you are now an executive member of FIFA, right? How about your influence in the Xiangjiang Football Association?" The sudden talk of football made Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang both puzzled. But Huo Yingdong said truthfully: "Is still serving as the executive committee of FIFA. In the FA, there is just a vacant position of honorary president. I usually don''t interfere with the work of the FA. In terms of influence, we are not humble. In fact, if I really want to do anything, I have to save face and have a lot of right to speak." "A Yu, why do you talk about this, are you interested in football?" "I am interested, but I mainly consider the spiritual civilization of the people of Xiangjiang." Xia Yu nodded and admitted. "I learned through the news a few days ago that the AFC intends to restart the Asian Club Championship next year. Football is the world''s largest sport. This is a good stage. Xiangjiang''s economic hard power has risen, and its cultural soft power has also risen." "I don''t want to hear others ridicule the Chinese for not playing football and without a good team. How can we say that we are also the ancestors of inventing football." "The day before yesterday, I specifically found Huang Chuangshan, the third son of Huang Ziming, who runs the Jinggong football team. I learned some things from him. I have been thinking about it these past two days and have to do something." "Forget it if I don''t know, I can''t watch the FA ruin Xiangjiang Football!" The last sentence directly expresses his point of view. The FA will be wrong. Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang looked at each other. Bao Yugang didn''t know much about football, so he didn''t express his opinions. The key is to look at Huo Yingdong, because he has liked playing football since he was a child. Xiangjiang''s football has developed so fast in the past. He has contributed a lot, otherwise he would not serve as the honorary president of the Hong Kong Football Association. Huo Yingdong has been committed to promoting sports in Hong Kong and enhancing cultural soft power. Now it is obvious that Xia Yu wants to interfere in Xiangjiang football, which deserves his caution. He knows very well that Xia Yu can leave without asking him, and the entire Xiangjiang football will be overthrown. He fell into deep thought and recalled the major events that happened in Hong Kong football in these years. After a long time, he said: "A Yu, you mean that the FA''s foreign ban and restrictions, and the promotion of all-China classes and other measures are wrong. " Xia Yu slowly said: "It''s not that it''s completely wrong, but it''s too radical. The sport of football is a team competition. It has to communicate with the outside world and keep pace with the times..." Xia Yu narrated his own views, and only a small part of them were Huang Chuangshan''s views, and most of them were summed up by him in light of the situation of later generations. For example, the prosperity of the ball market must be driven by strong capital. For example, in order to vigorously crack down on football security incidents, in addition to improving punishment and guiding education standards, the most important thing is to do a good job in the construction of stadium facilities. For example, to create a complete youth training system, but at the same time the most basic ideological education cannot be omitted, so as to give players a good three outlook from an early age. Another example is to make a new start to build the Xiangjiang Football Super League and make the cake of Xiangjiang Football bigger. Wait a minute. Following Xia Yu''s narration, both Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang fell into contemplation. "A Yu, I always thought you didn''t understand football, but you taught me a lesson today!" "I agree with all of your views. Xiangjiang Football really has to change. Let them mess up and cause endless harm. It will be too late to regret by then!" "If you can''t say, I have to form a team and personally promote the reform of Hong Kong football." Huo Yingdong was full of emotion, but his eyes were extremely sharp. Xia Yu immediately said: "Old Huo, let me first say yes. I want the South China Football Team. I will also buy the entire South China Sports Association. I have decided on the new football team''s name. It will be called the South China Tiangong Football Team." Huo Yingdong shook his head and smiled: "A Yu, you are better. The dead camel is bigger than Marathon. Although the South China football team has not won the championship in six years, it is crowded the most, and the background is still there." "I won''t compete with you either. I will acquire a team and compete with you on the same stage." Bao Yugang finally said at this time: "This interesting thing, how can I be missing, I also bought a team, the name is called Lufeng Football Team." "Haha..." "Next year, the Hong Kong Football Super League must be built. When the time comes, the three of us will end. The Hong Kong football world will have to change if it doesn''t change." "By the way, the construction of Xiangjiang''s football field is too poor. The largest Xiangjiang Stadium is not only used for football games, but also for other sports. Let''s not occupy other public resources." "I was thinking about rebuilding a football field with a minimum capacity of 50,000 people in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. It happened to be the pasture of the Dairy Company near Zigang Bridge, which was my land." After Xia Yu finished speaking, Bao Yugang went on to say: "A Yu, if the stadium divides me, my team will also go in." "no problem." Xia Yu agreed without hesitation, and then looked at Huo Yingdong. Huo Yingdong thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I don''t know, one stadium can accommodate two teams. It is not convenient to have one more team. I will buy the Mong Kok Stadium from the Hong Kong government and remodel it." Mong Kok Stadium is the second only to Hong Kong Stadium, formerly the Army Stadium. "That''s OK, let''s talk about it." "I''ll do it when I get back." ... After going back, Xia Yu, who was the most prepared, was the first to do it. Directly spent 340 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the Xiangjiang Nanhua Sports Association, the most powerful and influential sports organization in the Xiangjiang area. The reason why it is so expensive is that Nanhua Sports will have a lot of fixed assets, including major sports venues and halls. . The South China Athletic Association has 25 sports departments, including basketball, billiards, golf, swimming, etc. The football department is just one of them. Tiangong Group acquired the South China Sports Association and changed the name of the South China Football Team to the South China Tiangong Football Team. It directly announced that it would build a new football stadium in the southern district of Hong Kong Island with a capacity of 50,000 people, with an investment of over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The entire Xiangjiang sports arena was shaken. Huang Chuangshan of the Jinggong football team lamented that the big guy is the big guy, and he really made an extraordinary move. Immediately afterwards, the Hong Kong Huo Group acquired Yuyuan Football Club and changed its name to Gangrong Football Team. Then just one day later, UU Reading Lufeng International Company acquired Zhijie Football Club and changed its name to Lufeng Football Club. A series of intensive news came out, and the media''s attention was focused on the Xiangjiang Football Association. The pressure on the Xiangjiang Football Association was the greatest, and he hurried to explore Huo Yingdong. The big capital bosses are also searching for news everywhere, but one thing is certain, the Xiangjiang ball market is about to explode! The curtain of Hong Kong football''s reform has been quickly opened. At this time, the competition for Wheelock Shipping finally came out.

The tasks you ordered have all been completed." "Also, the survey report on the global oil and mining industry has already been made below." When Huo Jianning walked into Xia Yu''s office with a pile of materials, he was enjoying Li Qian''s head massage. Huo Jianning has become accustomed to this scene, so he can only look at Xia Yu without squinting his eyes. At the beginning when Huo Jianning was reporting to work, Li Qian would go away subconsciously, but then Xia Yu told her that Huo Jianning was an absolute confidant and that she would have frequent contacts, just let her ignore it, and Li Qian would naturally get used to it. "Okay, let''s put it down first, and call you later." "Ok." "Chairman, I will go down first." After putting the materials on the table, Huo Jianning left the room again. From entering the house to going out, it took less than a minute before and after, without any muddle. "Cici, I have worked hard for you. After pressing for so long, you should sit down and rest." Xia Yu turned her head and grabbed Li Qian''s soft hand, and said gently. Li Qian gave a sweet smile: "I''m not tired, the tea is cold, I''ll add some hot tea to you." After that, Li Qian walked lightly to the tea table. Xia Yu stared at her graceful back for a long time, then retracted his gaze. After smiling, he cast his gaze on the materials submitted by Huo Jianning. First of all, it is about the actions of Wheelock Shipping Company, and some interesting content is also included. The report stated that under the upsell of Dingfeng Securities, Toll finally spent HK$6.76 billion to buy the 34.6% equity held by the Zhang Yuliang family. Compared with Zhang Yuliang¡¯s family, the Madden family¡¯s 21.1% equity is equivalent to about two-thirds of the Zhang Yuliang¡¯s family, but they only sold 1.95 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to only about a quarter of the Zhang Yuliang¡¯s family gains. In such a comparison, the Madden family lost to the grandmother''s house. But there is no way. Who asked the Madden family to sell the equity when the market value of Wheelock Shipping Company fell to a trough of more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars! When the Zhang Yuliang family transferred its shares, the stock price of Wheelock Shipping Co., Ltd. soared because Dingfeng Securities Co., Ltd. was making a lot of money in the stock market. When the Zhang Yuliang family transferred the equity, the market value of Wheelock Shipping Company had soared to 16.27 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was almost double the previous one! And Zhang Yuliang''s family also transferred equity on this basis at a premium. Zhang Yuliang definitely owes Xia Yu and Bao Yugang a great favor. try{mad1(\''gad2\'');}catch(ex){}¡¡¡¡ As for John Madden, you don¡¯t need to think about being uncomfortable. Although it was his own choice, he would definitely think he was at a disadvantage. It''s human nature. It¡¯s just that for Toll, you definitely don¡¯t care anymore. If you unload the grind and kill the donkey, you will unload the grind and kill the donkey. The equity held by Toll is enough to control Wheelock Shipping. Only after two acquisitions, Toll took a total of 55.7% of the shares of Wheelock Shipping Company, which cost a total of 8.71 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 1.43 billion U.S. dollars, and the price was not big! On the other hand, Dingfeng Securities Co., Ltd. sold low-priced stocks at a high level, and made a total profit of 527 million Hong Kong dollars. But this is not important. The important thing is. The secret purchase of equity in five listed companies arranged by Xia Yu was successfully completed. United Dockyard Company, Real Estate Trust Company, Lane Crawford Retail Company, Federal Real Estate and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company each have a 33.4% stake in their hands, but they are not integrated together. Toll has no idea that the crisis is lurking. . It''s just that the acquisition of equity in these companies cost a total of 3.38 billion Hong Kong dollars. Hedging the profit from Wheelock Shipping Company, in fact, Xia Yu only invested 2.853 billion Hong Kong dollars. After getting the equity, Xia Yu was relieved. When the time is right, I will do it naturally. Next, Xia Yu looked to more important materials, mobilized the resources of the entire consortium, and still took more than a month to compile the report-"Global Oilfield and Mineral Resources Distribution Report". This report has been done with great care, because it can be seen from the thickness alone. It¡¯s a full centimeter thick, it¡¯s a book, and Xia Yu briefly flipped it through and found that it was still extremely condensed. Basically, it wrote basic data and information about which country, which mine or oil field, the time of discovery, current output, and ownership. Relationship and so on. is so thick because this report does not only cover oil and steel, but covers almost all types of mineral resources and oil and gas resources. If you want to finish reading this report, even if Xia Yu devoted himself to it, he couldn''t finish it in five days, not to mention that he still had to think about it based on the status quo. The workload is very large. So in the next half month, apart from spending some time relaxing with many big beauties, Xia Yu spent all of his research on this "report". so much so that the outside world talks about the news that the Jiuding Consortium has not won the Wheelock Consortium and they don¡¯t bother to pay attention to it and let others gossip. Of course, this does not mean that Xia Yu didn''t care. try{mad1(\''gad2\'');}catch(ex){}¡¡¡¡ Actually, the hunting plan of the Sydney consortium in Australia is already being laid out. is just the executive body, not the Jiuding consortium. When Xia Yuwo was studying and planning the actions of the king of global resources at home, things related to Xia Yu were constantly happening outside. On November 2, Polaris Capital officially completed its acquisition of Disney, at a cost of US$1.69 billion and acquired a 73.5% stake, including the 13.4% stake it took over from the British Bright Fund. On November 5th, the "Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary" was officially completed, and the Hong Kong Traditional Chinese Medicine Association reported it to the Hong Kong government. Su Xingjian gave a reply for the Legislative Council to conduct research and discuss the feasibility. On November 6, the first round of the U.S. general election ended. Ronald Reagan won with a vote of 524:11, breaking the historical record of the United States and winning the electoral votes of 49 states. As long as the next month takes a form Can be re-elected as President of the United States. On November 11th The first phase of privatization of British Telecom finally came out. The 50.2% of the equity it took out was taken by Bright Fund, HSBC Holdings and Royal Bank of Scotland each by 5% Equity, each won a seat on the board of directors, and the price was 1.17 billion pounds. November 15th, this day is nothing special. But this evening, Julian Robertson and Rey Dario of the Wall Street Gemini met privately. The meeting place was in Rey Dario''s house, in the huge living room, only the two of them. "Julian, this is our preliminary plan. Where is yours?" Rey Dario took out a preliminary plan of action, handed it to Julian Robertson, and asked at the same time. Julian Robertson smiled slightly, and took out a document wrapped in kraft paper from his bag, and exchanged it with Rey Dario: "Here, let¡¯s take a look at our respective plans first, and discuss how to do it later. Cooperation." Then, the two opened each other''s action plan. On the cover of the action plan, there is a word-Australia! PS: It¡¯s going to be updated tonight. I¡¯ve worked overtime until 9 o¡¯clock. Later I have to improve the plot of the action against Australia and collect and sort out oil and mineral materials. I have downloaded 50 or 60 papers and publications from CNKI. I have to read it and integrate it, I can¡¯t figure it out in two hours. #ËÍ888ʱÉкì°ü#Follow the vx public account [] to see the popular 888 cash red envelopes!

Regarding the action against Australia, Xia Yu handed it over to the three major funds, namely the Bridgewater Fund, the Tiger Fund and the Bright Fund. The first two are responsible for rushing and stirring up troubles in the financial field, while the Bright Fund is responsible for the later physical asset harvesting. Australia is a member of the Commonwealth. It is more suitable for Bright Fund to harvest assets than Xia Yu¡¯s other companies. For local Australian capital, this is an offensive from the sovereign''s domestic consortium. The vigilance and resistance of local capital will definitely be there, but it is definitely lower than that of other companies. Although it is responsible for the later asset harvesting, the difficulty of action is the most difficult. Therefore, the Bright Fund has long been deployed through the huge financial system. The first phase of the action is very simple. It is to conduct short-selling gambling against the listed companies of the Sydney Consortium, while other consortium companies will not touch it. Of course, the cross-shareholding companies should not be messed up. This is also to increase the success rate and avoid full-scale hatred. It¡¯s okay for Bright Fund to single out the Sydney consortium, but if it is besieged by the three major Australian consortia, coupled with the Rohill family who may assist at any time, the opponent will have a local combat advantage, even with the help of Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund. , The risk is also extremely high. The direction of the Tiger Fund and the Bridgewater Fund is to start with the exchange rate, and then expand to the stock market and futures market. can be said to be similar to the action against Canada. The difference is that the attack on Canada is because Canada itself has a big problem. The outside is led by the American consortium, and the boss Xia Yu is inside. The Tiger Fund and the Bridgewater Fund can only be regarded as the protagonists in the later period. But in the attack on Australia, he is completely the main force, fighting from start to finish, this fight is hard power! Moreover, when Australia''s own crisis is far less than that of Canada, it is not generally difficult to forcibly break Australia''s exchange rate. Fortunately, after the First World War in Canada, the Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund became popular among investors, and the amount of funds exceeded US$10 billion. This gave Julian Robertson and Rey Dario the confidence to join forces to attack a country. Moreover, this country is still the eleventh place in the world, with a gross national product of more than 190 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than half of the seventh-ranked Canada. Of course, the reason why it was able to start with the exchange rate is also thanks to Australia''s own opening. It has not been less than a year. On December 12, 1983, Australia abolished the effectively managed floating exchange rate of the Australian dollar pegged to a basket of trade-weighted currencies, and implemented free floating, and Australia also cancelled all controls. Only in the past year, no company has the guts to attack a developed country like Australia. ¡­¡­ "You plan to invest 3 billion U.S. dollars in the first stage. My side is 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. Then it adds up to 6.5 billion U.S. dollars. They are all direct principal investment. Starting from the foreign exchange market, the Australian government still has A certain resistance." After a long time, both of them have read each other''s plan of action, Julian Robertson said to Rey Dario. As for why the principal was used in the first stage, without leverage, both of them had the same attitude, so skip it directly. Rey Dario thought for a while and said: "Then I will add another 500 million U.S. dollars, and we will make up 7 billion U.S. dollars. We alone will be enough to break the Australian dollar exchange rate." "Currently, the Reserve Bank of Australia has only US$6.89 billion in foreign exchange reserves. We have more funds than them. We are trying our best to hit the market, but the Australian government can''t handle it." "Unless other banks in Australia and banks in other countries support, or the Australian government borrows from abroad." "With our influence, as long as the international hot money is followed up, the Australian dollar exchange rate will definitely not be able to hold it!" Julian Robertson also took this into consideration, but compared with Rey Dario, his investment philosophy is relatively more stable. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the situation. He thought for a while, and continued to ask: "The assets under management of the Tiger Fund have reached 13.54 billion U.S. dollars, what about the Bridgewater Fund?" are all their own, this confidential data can also be said, Rey Dario said bluntly: "Mine is less than yours, only 13.38 billion US dollars." The two funds together have nearly 27 billion U.S. dollars in assets under management! This asset is not far from that of Australia¡¯s fourth largest Commonwealth Bank of Australia. try{mad1(\''gad2\'');}catch(ex){}¡¡¡¡ More importantly, the assets of hedge funds are easily converted into funds, and the liquidity rate is extremely high, far from what banks can match. "OK, I have already made an asset cleanup plan here, and I am speeding up the return of funds." "We are fine in the general direction, but in terms of details, further study is needed. For example, the lowest exchange rate cut line is currently around 0.90. I suggest that the exchange rate can be suppressed to around 0.65 before harvesting." "0.65 is too high, you can hit around 0.60, and then switch the battlefield." ¡­¡­ That night, the two reached an agreement on the general direction, and then the plan was perfected in the next two days, and then a steady stream of funds began to enter the Australian foreign exchange market. And Xia Yu finally combined with the "Report on the Distribution of Global Oilfields and Mineral Resources" to fully activate his own golden finger and list a large number of mines and petroleum resources. A small resource point, he can''t remember at all, and his popularity is not high. What can be remembered are large-scale mines and oil fields, such as oil fields. Only those with reserves of more than 500 million barrels are called large-scale oil fields. If the reserves are less than 500 million barrels, he can''t remember, and it doesn''t matter. In terms of gold mines, very few super-large gold mines have been discovered in later generations, but many of them have not yet been fully discovered. For example, the Glasberg Gold Mine in Indonesia is actually the Glasberg Gold and Copper Mine. Gold has not been discovered. It is located near Mount Chaya, Mimika County, Papua Province, Indonesia. It has been used as copper since 1936. The mine is mined and belongs to the Freeport McMorland Group of the United States, which holds 90.64% of the mine¡¯s shares, while the Indonesian government only holds 9.36%. In fact, this Grasberg gold-copper mine will not be discovered until 1988, and it will be the world''s largest gold mine in later generations. The first three valuable minerals are 3451 tons of gold reserves and 39.317 million copper reserves. Tons, 18,762 tons of silver reserves. At present, less than half of the reserves of the Glasberg gold and copper mine and even the copper mine have been detected. Xia Yu directly marked that he bought the American Freeport McMorlan Group. Compared with the value of the gold mine, buy this company The price is definitely the price of cabbage. Then there is the Olympic Dam Mine in Australia, the world¡¯s second largest gold mine and the world¡¯s fourth largest copper mine. Located in Adelaide, southern Australia, it is a huge copper-gold-uranium-silver deposit. It was discovered. Since its discovery in 1975, the detected mineral reserves are 1,200 tons of gold and 30 million tons of copper. But in fact, the Olympicba Mine has 1 million tons of uranium, 78.77 million tons of copper, 13,483 tons of silver, and 3,048 tons of gold. The current proven reserves have not even reached half, and the acquisition value is extremely high. Then there is the Bogo Gold Mine in Alaska, USA, the world¡¯s third largest gold mine in later generations. At this time, no gold mine has been discovered. It will not be discovered by Sumitomo Metal Mining until the 21st century. It has 2792 tons of gold reserves and 32.39 million copper. Tons, 1.995 million tons of molybdenum mine. In the field of gold mining, Xia Yu also listed some super-large gold mines. If all these gold mines can be obtained, they will definitely have reserves of more than 20,000 tons, worth more than one trillion U.S. dollars in future generations. Bluestar Mining Company will Become the world''s golden hegemon. In the field of diamond mines, Canada, the three major producing areas in the future, no diamond mines worth mining were found at this time. Xia Yu circled all the four major diamond mines in Canada in one breath. are the Davik Diamond Mine in Canada, the Ikati Diamond Mine in Canada, the Kachugu Diamond Mine in Canada, and the Snap Lake Diamond Mine in Canada. The four major mines are enough to fight De Beers as long as they get their hands. In order to surpass De Beers, Xia Yu also found major mines such as the Katoka Mine Diamond Mine in Angola and the Venice Diamond Mine in South Africa. In terms of iron ore, it has found Australia¡¯s fourth largest mine in the future, Mount Roy Iron Mine. It is located about 115 kilometers north of Newman in the Pilbara mining area in Western Australia, about 115 kilometers southeast of Port Hedland, Western Australia. It is 340 kilometers and has a total reserves of up to 4.5 billion tons, and the ore powder has a phosphorus content as low as 0.04%. It is an extremely high-quality iron ore in Australia. Then there are other iron ore mines. These iron ore mines add up to a total reserves of 10 billion tons, which is enough to rank first in the world. The most important thing is the oil field. found a lot of undiscovered or far underestimated oil fields. For example, the Azad glycerin field on the border between Iran and Iraq has 42 billion barrels of crude oil reserves. Brazil¡¯s Ribeira oil field, the world¡¯s largest offshore oil field, is light oil with excellent oil quality, with oil reserves ranging from 26 billion barrels to 420 barrels. Venezuela¡¯s Orinoco heavy oil belt only detected 4.3 billion barrels of oil reserves the year before, but the actual reserves reached over 35.7 billion barrels, and later generations accounted for 75% of Venezuela¡¯s oil reserves. try{mad1(\''gad2\'');}catch(ex){}¡¡¡¡Argentina¡¯s Bacamuelta oil field, located in the Neuquen Basin in southern Argentina, has proven reserves of 16 to 22 billion barrels of oil. Iraq¡¯s West Qurna oil field, with proven reserves of 10-15 billion barrels in later generations. Mexico''s Chicontepec oil field, located in the state of Veracruz in eastern Mexico, has reserves of 139 billion barrels. However, it is a pity that it is heavy oil, which is more difficult to extract, and the cost is relatively high, but it can be used as a later reserve. Kazakhstan Kashagan oil field, located in the northern part of the Caspian Sea about 50 miles southeast of Atyrau, Kazakhstan, has a total oil reserve of more than 35 billion barrels. ¡­¡­ Brazil¡¯s Barakuda oil field, located in the south-central Campos Basin, has oil reserves of 2.25 billion barrels. The Cusiana-Cupiagua compound oil field in Colombia has oil reserves of 2 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of more than 85 billion cubic meters. The Bolcan-Florina-Pouto Sur oil and gas field in Colombia has oil reserves of 1 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of more than 283.1 billion cubic meters. Algeria¡¯s Orjos Oil Field is the second largest oil field in Algeria, with a total reserves of 1 billion barrels. Tizumba Oilfield in Angola, this large deep-water oilfield has oil reserves of 2 billion barrels. Masira oil field in the Republic of Yemen, with oil reserves of more than 1 billion barrels. The Alif oil field in the Republic of Yemen, in the Marib-Jawoff Basin, has oil reserves of more than 500 million barrels. The reserves of these oil fields add up to 500 billion barrels of reserves. Even if a part of the cake is to be distributed to local oil companies later, it can occupy at least 350 billion barrels of reserves. The oil reserves are enough to beat Saudi Aramco and rank first in the world. OPEC also has to look at its face. In terms of energy, there are also gas and natural gas, but natural gas basically co-exists with oil fields. As long as these oil fields are taken, the natural gas reserves can also become the world''s first. On gas, it is focusing on the San Juan Basin in the western United States. In 1998, the proven gas reserves of this basin were 350 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 7.4% of the country¡¯s dry gas reserves. ¡­¡­ Except for a small part of these minerals and resources that have been initially discovered and far underestimated, the vast majority of the remaining are still undiscovered. Instead, the bulk of the expenditure is the prospecting rights usage fee, geological survey, physical and chemical exploration expenditures and unsuccessful exploration wells and other exploration expenditures incurred in the process of geological exploration. The second is the cost of exploration rights. The specific price varies by country and region. For example, in the United States, if it is a super-hot oil producing area that is most competitive, the local government will adopt an auction method to auction the regional exploration rights. The cost of exploration rights in the more popular oil-producing areas is about tens of dollars per square kilometer a year. And some unpopular areas, many places almost no one cares ~ www.novelhall.com~ Then the cost of exploration rights is extremely low, which can reach a few dollars per square kilometer a year. For various countries, they do not make money by selling oil exploration rights. The majority of their interests are the interests after the discovery of oil fields, such as special equity funds, investment-driven interests, taxes and so on. They do not have the strength to explore aimlessly. The transfer of resource exploration rights is the safest way. Although there is no way to make the country rich overnight, it can guarantee steady development. This is a win-win situation. This is the biggest way to attract investment, and as long as the resources are not exhausted in a day, it can continuously generate income and collect money lying down. After ¡¡¡¡ sorted out, Xia Yu split this infinitely valuable book and handed it over to Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company. And for the sake of safety, these resources are not to be explored for the first time. The first thing to do is to get the land and take down all the exploration rights in the area where these resources are located. At least 30 years must be signed. This time is absolutely sufficient. Although the cost of exploration will be several tens of times higher, the cost of exploration rights in a small area is not worth mentioning. Then the second insurance is that only the presidents of Pacific Petroleum and Bluestar Mining have access to this book. All their own family members will be taken over, and their bodyguards will be arranged by the consortium to prevent them from making mistakes. After getting the small books, Bluestar Mining Company and Pacific Oil Company acted quickly and started the road of dominance.

Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1353: Wheelocks period of weakness Attacks on Australia¡¯s financial markets did not happen overnight. In the early stages of the operation, what needs to be done is to keep the Australian dollar exchange rate as stable as possible so that it can have more room for profit. Then, on this basis, invest as much capital as possible. Therefore, it is destined to be as low-key as possible in the early stage of the operation, which requires time-consuming grinding. One month passed quietly. It was mid-December in a flash, and 1984 was about to come to an end. All walks of life in the society are eagerly starting to sit down with annual summaries. The same is true for the capital sector, especially for listed companies, which need to be published in annual reports. As for non-listed companies, whether they want to do it or not depends on the operators themselves. As long as they pay taxes honestly, the others will take care of you. The companies in Xia Yu''s business empire are all busy for this, and the family office is also busy. Fortunately, the staff of the various departments of the family office are already abundant, and after the initial run-in, it can already run smoothly. Two flowers bloom, one on each table! On Toll''s side, Justin Kyle spent more than a month and finally became the owner of the Wheelock Consortium. It is worth mentioning that because of the high price of Zhang Yuliang¡¯s equity, John Madden was still psychologically unbalanced. He approached Charles Rohill and Justin Kyle one after another to compensate, but the final result was Broke up unhappily. John Madden was so angry that he no longer helped Justin Kyle take over the major companies smoothly and returned to the UK with his money and people. This matter has also been published in major media. Because at this time, the market value of Wheelock Shipping has fallen from its peak all the way, and Justin Kyle used all his energy to stabilize the market value at around HK$12 billion. Fortunately, when Toll acquired Wheelock Shipping, it looked for Westpac Bank, where the consortium is located, Barclays Bank controlled by the Rohill family, and the influential National Westminster Bank. The three major banks withstood the pressure for Toll. However, the Sydney consortium also knows that the most important thing is to allow Wheelock Shipping to develop. With the prosperity of the Hong Kong financial market, even if Wheelock Shipping has a profit of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars, it is enough to increase its market value. Billions of Hong Kong dollars. By then, Toll''s pressure will naturally be eliminated. For this reason, when Justin Kyle joined Wheelock Shipping Company, he immediately summoned the staff to clarify the company¡¯s business details, and then combined the resources of Toll and the Sydney consortium behind to provide Wheelock Shipping. Service company to expand business and increase revenue and profit. It just takes a relatively long process. After all, shipping takes a long time. It takes one or two months to run at sea, and it is quite normal to go back and forth for four to five months. Wheelock Shipping Company has opened up new business and has to finish running to settle the bill. Therefore, in Justin Kyle''s plan, 1985 will be a turning point for Wheelock Shipping, and there are two turning points, namely the middle and the end of 1985. There is still about half a year to mid-1985. With the full use of the resources of the Sydney consortium and the resources of the Lowhill family, Wheelock¡¯s revenue will rise to a higher level. Although 1984 has not ended, Wheelock Shipping''s revenue data on shipping business can already be estimated. In addition to the business volume in the next half month, the annual revenue in 1984 should be around 9.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is still a bit short of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. As for the actual loss on the shipping sector, it will be more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. The exact amount needs to be estimated based on the value of the ship. This involves the devaluation of the ship. In Justin Kyle¡¯s plan, Wheelock¡¯s revenue would reach six billion Hong Kong dollars by mid-1985, and by the end of the year, the revenue would have surpassed 13 billion Hong Kong dollars. And if after the middle of next year, according to market conditions, if appropriate, it is necessary to continue to increase ships. As for profit, Justin Kyle intends to achieve a balance of payments in the first half of next year, solve the loss problem, and then create a profit of at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars in the second half of the year. If the plan is implemented smoothly, Wheelock Shipping''s market value is expected to reach 15 billion Hong Kong dollars after the release of its financial report in the middle of next year. After the end of next year, the market value will rise to 18 billion Hong Kong dollars, an impact of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars! With the resources and connections of the Sydney consortium, coupled with the support of the Rohill family, this plan has great operational possibilities. The future is bright! But the top priority is to survive the half-year period of weakness. Especially at the end of this year! The market value of Wheelock Shipping Company is stable at around HK$12 billion, indicating that the capital market has certain expectations for the newly acquired Tolling Company. The touchstone is the year-end financial report. Is the stock price rising, or remains the same, or is it going back to its original shape or getting worse. Look at it! Wheelock Shipping Company, Chairman''s Office. Myron Marjorie, the vice president in charge of finance, knocked on the door and walked in. Justin Kyle, who was concentrating his eyebrows, put down the pen, showed a smile, and greeted: "Myron, you are here, sit down, I have something to tell you." "Chairman, what is it?" After sitting down, Myron Marjorie asked immediately. Justin Kyle sighed: "I read the financial report you gave me for the past eleven months The situation is not ideal. We need a copy that will not disappoint investors or even let them down. Relatively satisfactory financial report." Myron Marjorie looked serious. He thought for a while and said: "Chairman, do you mean that you need to make some adjustments on the financial side?" Justin Kyle immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, this thing can''t be done, you should know that we must be stared at, once we do this, it will bring us a huge crisis!" He has been reminded by Charles Rohill many times, and he has been deeply aware of the influence and control of the previous competitor Jiuding Consortium in Xiangjiang. Especially in the fields of media and finance, the Jiuding Consortium is at the dominant level. If it is caught by the opponent, Wheelock Shipping Company will have to peel off even if it is not dead. Now Wheelock Shipping Company cannot withstand such a toss. He didn¡¯t have time to go around the corners, with a direct expression and attitude: ¡°I mean, your side should mobilize people as soon as possible to supervise the five companies: United Dockyard Company, Real Estate Trust Company, Lane Crawford Retail Company, Commonwealth Real Estate Company, and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. Subsidiaries make annual reports, and other unlisted holding companies should also be urged." "However, the most important thing is that when these five listed companies make their annual reports as soon as possible, they must announce the dividend plan in the annual report, and implement it as soon as possible to adjust the dividend intensity to the upper limit." "These companies can slow down their expansion next year, and we need the most dividends to stabilize investors!" "Stabilize the company''s stock price!"

"Chairman, I understand what you mean." "The work pressure in this area will be great, and the time will be relatively short. As far as I know, several companies in the past only released their financial reports in February and March." "We are now going to advance the release of the financial report to the beginning of January. I only rely on the financial staff of each company. I am not absolutely sure." "I suggest hiring a third-party accounting firm to assist and speed up work efficiency." Myron Marjorie replied solemnly. Justin Kyle immediately approved, and once again urged: "You watch and deal with it yourself, I leave it to you to take charge of it, I only need the result." "The company''s financial report should be published as soon as possible after all the dividends have been paid. It is not good for us to delay it for too long!" Myron Marjorie nodded and replied: "I understand that I will urge all companies to make financial reports as soon as possible." "On this matter, if you have nothing else, just go and work." "Then chairman, I''ll go first." After that, Myron Marjorie got up and left the office. But Justin Kyle continues to get busy. He has to sort out and see if he can find suitable assets. He intends to increase the company''s revenue by selling some of the assets and make the financial report look better. Of course, this requires finding the right assets and finding the right taker, which is difficult to operate. ... Half a month''s time passed quietly. With the assistance of a third-party accounting firm, the annual financial reports of many companies under the Wheelock Consortium have been completed. After entering January 1985, United Dockyard Company, Real Estate Trust Company, Lane Crawford Retail Company, Federal Real Estate Company, Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company and other companies released their 1984 financial reports. All of these five companies have achieved profitability. Even the United Dockyard, which is the worst profitable company, remains profitable. At the same time as the financial report was released, each listed company simultaneously issued a dividend announcement plan and indicated that it would follow the process in the near future. In order to distribute dividends, in addition to the announcement of dividends, the board of directors must first review and form a resolution, and then submit it to the general meeting of shareholders for approval before it can be formally implemented. After the news came out, there was no heated discussion. Because it is normal for Hong Kong-listed companies to pay dividends every year, the exchange has very strict requirements for dividends. Unlike the big A in the past, it is a tear to talk about it. However, it did not cause heated discussion, but it attracted Xia Yu''s attention. It should be said that Xia Yu has long been staring at these companies, and he is waiting for this time. The financial reports of these five companies were collected by the people below and handed over to him. While drinking tea, Xia Yu looked at the annual financial reports of these companies with interest. United Dock Company, 1984 annual turnover of 1.372 billion Hong Kong dollars, net profit of 121 million Hong Kong dollars, net profit margin of 8.82%. The Real Estate Trust Company had a turnover of 1.457 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1984, a net profit of 269 million Hong Kong dollars, and a net profit margin of 18.46%. Lane Crawford retail company, in 1984 annual turnover of 981 million Hong Kong dollars, net profit of 148 million Hong Kong dollars, and a net profit margin of 15.09%. The Federal Real Estate Corporation had a turnover of 1.689 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1984, a net profit of 257 million Hong Kong dollars, and a net profit margin of 15.22%. Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company had a turnover of 854 million Hong Kong dollars in 1984, a net profit of 177 million Hong Kong dollars, and a net profit margin of 20.73%. Xia Yu calculated a little in his mind and concluded that the total turnover of these five companies reached 6.353 billion Hong Kong dollars, the total profit was 972 million Hong Kong dollars, and the average net profit margin was 15.3%. This net profit margin is considered to be a medium level among all Xiangjiang companies, and at least it outperforms the current bank interest rate. These five companies are definitely incomparable to Xia Yu''s companies with a market value of several billions and tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. However, companies such as Galaxy Film Company, Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group, and Nakato Gas Company are all leaders in various industries, and they are only a few of them. On the contrary, five companies, such as United Dockyard Company and Real Estate Trust Company, are the backbone of the stock market. The Hong Kong Stock Market is a pyramid. Wheelock Shipping is located on the top one or two floors. These five companies are in the middle and upper reaches of the pyramid. The bottom ones are basically companies with a market value of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. "What is the percentage of shares held by Wheelock Shipping in these companies?" As he spoke, Xia Yu searched in the drawer and found the previous materials. He wrote on the paper the percentage of shares held by Wheelock Shipping in these companies. Holds a 27.8% stake in United Dockyard Company. Holds a 38.2% stake in the Real Estate Trust Company. Holds 42.7% equity in Lane Crawford Retail Company. Holds 44.5% of the shares of Federal Real Estate Corporation. Holds 27.9% of the shares of Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. Then Xia Yu took the calculator by the table, pressed the buttons repeatedly, calculated the results and recorded them on the paper. According to Wheelock Shipping¡¯s shareholding ratio in these five companies, multiplied by the annual net profit of these companies, it can be concluded that when all the profits of the five companies are paid dividends, Wheelock¡¯s The amount of dividends earned by the shipping company. After some calculations, five results were obtained. Received 33.64 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends from United Dockyard Company. Received HK$12.76 million in dividends from the real estate trust company. Received 63.2 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends from Lane Crawford Retail Company. Received 114.37 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends from the Federal Real Estate Corporation. Received 49.38 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends from the Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. A total of 363.34 million Hong Kong dollars! This is the amount of dividends Wheelock Shipping Company can get under the most ideal situation! "Wheelock consortium involved nearly two hundred companies. Although more than one hundred of them hold only a small share of shares, and some companies are small companies, if these companies also pay dividends, even if they don¡¯t take out all the profits, Dividends, but it can also allow Wheelock Shipping to get a lot of money." "It is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars!" "So it seems that Wheelock Shipping Company may receive more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, which is very likely to offset the losses of its flagship shipping business." "But if the dividends of these five listed companies are reduced, then Wheelock Shipping''s losses will not be avoided." "Everything is in plan." Thinking of this, the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth was curved. The next thing to do is to break the dream of Wheelock Shipping Company at a critical moment . He secretly holds a 33.4% stake in each of the five listed companies. With this shareholding ratio, it can surpass Wheelock Shipping Company and become the largest shareholder in the United Dockyard Company and the Hong Kong Undersea Tunnel Company, and it can take the limelight at the moment of announcement. In the other three companies, it is still worse, but it will also be extremely threatening. However, company dividends are not an extremely important matter. Therefore, whether it is at the board of directors or the general meeting of shareholders, most of them are ordinary resolutions without special requirements of the Company Law. Therefore, more than one-third of the veto power does not work here. As long as the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders pass 50% of the votes, it can be approved by a vote. Because it is very troublesome to re-elect the board of directors, Wheelock Shipping also dominates the boards of these companies. Therefore, regarding the board of directors, Xia Yu did not intend to stop him, anyway, he would have to pass the general meeting of shareholders in the end. As long as the general meeting of shareholders does not pass the vote, it is useless even if the board of directors approves unanimously. Of course, unanimous votes are absolutely impossible. Now the original director who holds voting rights for Xia Yu always has to vote against it, otherwise it will be abnormal. . "Next, you need to do a lot of work in private." "The immediate interests or the long-term interests?" "Follow the Jiuding Consortium or follow the Wheelock Consortium?" "I think as long as you are not stupid, you should know how to choose, hehe..."

Listed companies stipulate that the dividend plan must be implemented within two months after the shareholders'' meeting has passed it. The speed of this speed depends mainly on the initiative and enthusiasm of the operators. In the attitude of Justin Kyle, it is natural to wait for it to be as fast as possible. It''s just that there are too many shareholders involved in listed companies, and it will take some time to implement it after all. Therefore, in order to save the time of the entire process and get Wheelock Shipping to receive dividends as soon as possible, the only way to speed up the pace is in the two links of the board of directors and the shareholders meeting. At the board of directors level, all five companies voted on the dividend plan with absolute superiority, and everything seemed to go smoothly. Justin Kyle breathed a sigh of relief when he got the news, and waited for the shareholders meeting to be convened to vote on the dividend plan. In his view, unless shareholders are stupid, there is no reason to refuse such a powerful dividend. Looking at the entire Hong Kong stock market, there are very few such extreme dividends. In order to save time, Justin Kyle simply set the meeting of shareholders of the five listed companies on the same day, after a 15-day notice period. On January 23, 1985, the general meeting of shareholders of five companies including United Dockyard Company and Real Estate Trust Company was held in the morning. Justin Kyle was on a whim and couldn''t stay at Wheelock Shipping Company. He chose to represent Wheelock Shipping Company to attend the shareholders meeting of Real Estate Trust Company. The reason why I came to this company is that the real estate trust company had the highest net profit last year, reaching 269 million Hong Kong dollars. Once the dividend plan is passed, it will be able to receive more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends. As the protagonist, there should be a posture that the protagonist should have, so Justin Kyle was the last one to arrive. When he came to the gate of the meeting place, he deliberately stopped and asked the beautiful employee in charge of registration: "What is the attendance rate of this shareholder meeting?" The beautiful employee immediately reported respectfully: "The chairman, together with the equity held by the parent company, the current shareholder attendance rate has reached 84.51%, which is the highest attendance rate of any general meeting of shareholders in the past two decades." At this time, Merck Heatley, the president of the Real Estate Trust Company who accompanied Justin Kyle, slapped up the flattery: "Chairman, this time the dividend plan must have surprised the shareholders, so this time it is very To take the initiative to participate in the general meeting of shareholders is to witness this historic moment." The general direction of the dividend plan was set by Justin Kell, and Merck Heatley''s flattery was in place. Justin Kyle laughed: "Maybe it is really possible." "Haha..." "Let''s go in." After all, Justin Kyle walked into the venue with full face. What he didn''t notice was that when he came in, some of the major shareholder representatives seated safely in the venue looked at each other, and they all showed inexplicable smiles. At the beginning of this general meeting of shareholders, the announced financial report was introduced again, and then the proposal was discussed directly. After the shareholder representatives participating in the counting and scrutiny of the votes are determined, the registered voting will be officially started. Soon it entered the final vote-counting link. With a smile on his face, Justin Kyle sat leisurely in his seat, watching the counting representative start counting the votes. Just less than a minute from the beginning, Justin Kyle¡¯s smile disappeared completely, his brows were frowned, his breathing was a bit disordered, and he yelled at Merck Heatley beside him and asked: ¡°What¡¯s going on, why is it all? Vote against?" I saw that on the counting board, the proportion of negative votes had reached 7.24%, but the affirmative votes were still 0%. Of course, this must be because the votes of Wheelock Shipping, the largest shareholder, have not yet been counted. But the point is not here. The point is that in Justin Kyle''s expectation, the pass rate of the dividend proposal at this shareholders meeting will be at least 90%, or even unanimously passed! But when this came out, three shareholders even voted against it, which is absolutely abnormal! "Chairman, I don''t know what''s going on, I''ll go ask the situation." After that, Merck Hitley got up nervously and walked to the shareholders who had just counted the votes. Justin Kyle clenched his fists. When he saw another 4.47% stake voted against, and the number of negative votes suddenly jumped to 11.71%, his heart was stunned and his eyes looked subconsciously. In the direction of Merck Hitley. He saw Merck Hitley say a few words to a shareholder, then his face changed, and the shareholder still sneered. Then Merck Hitley sought out other shareholders. Although the attitudes of other shareholders were good and bad, every time they asked, Merck Hitley''s face became ugly. Soon, Merck Hitley hurried back. As soon as he sat down, Justin Kyle hurriedly asked, "Why did they vote against it?" Merck Hitley lowered his head to explain the situation: "Chairman, their attitude is very clear, and the reason is very perfunctory. They think that taking all profits out for dividends will have great harm to the company''s long-term development, so they disagree. Dividends should continue to invest profits in the development of the company." "Are they idiots!" Hearing this reason, Justin Kyle scolded angrily, and attracted a few shareholders who were closer to look over. It''s just that Justin Kyle didn''t care about so much, because he saw that although the consent vote had broken through the duck egg, it only reached 1.24%. But the negative vote has reached 22.79%! This number is extremely dazzling! Merck Hitley hurriedly said: "Chairman, I think someone must be leading this, but I don''t know who it is for the time being." Justin Kyle is not stupid, of course he guessed it. What''s the use of just guessing? Now everyone has voted, and the votes are already being counted. Besides, nothing will help. The only thing that can be done is to pray that the votes will account for more than half of the total votes. It''s just...Justin Kyle didn''t have any confidence himself. Next, Wheelock Shipping Company''s votes were finally counted, and the affirmative votes jumped to 39.44%, achieving a go-ahead. It''s just that this overtake did not last long. The yes votes remained 39.44% until the end. The negative vote reached 45.07%! Divided by the total voter turnout rate, the approval rate was 46.67% and the disapproval rate was 53.33%. Less than half of the votes in favor, the motion was not approved! At the moment when he saw the result, Justin Kyle left the venue with a black face. But not long after he rushed back to the company, he learned a series of bad news. The four dividend proposals of United Dockyard Company, Lane Crawford Retail Company, Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company and Federal Real Estate Company also failed! Even the federal real estate company with the highest shareholding ratio, Wheelock Shipping Co., Ltd. holds a share of 44.5%. But the attendance rate of this general meeting of shareholders is extremely rare to reach 90.21%. Except for the majority shareholder Hui Defeng Shipping Company, which voted for it, all other shareholders voted against it, so that the approval rate was only 49.30%. Unfortunately, the vote failed. Justin Kyle was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. This is definitely an insult! The first enemy that came to his mind was Dingfeng Securities, and then the Jiuding Consortium behind him. What followed was regret, extremely regretful. He regretted that he should not be too self-confident, and concentrated all the shareholders'' meetings of the five companies in one day, so that he completely lost the ability to save. Unfortunately, it is useless to regret, the general meeting of shareholders is over. What he can do is to immediately convene manpower to discuss countermeasures. The enemy has tried his best to start from these five companies. The ultimate goal is definitely Wheelock Shipping. With the conclusion of the shareholders'' meeting of the five companies, the news naturally spread. It''s so amazing! There was an uproar in the Heung Kong capital market, and then Wheelock¡¯s share price began to plummet. From the extremely rare general meeting of shareholders among these five companies, many people know that Wheelock¡¯s troubles have just begun! PS: It¡¯s just one update today.

The planned dividends were not received. With the loss of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, Wheelock Shipping¡¯s annual financial report is doomed to look bad. At this time, Justin Kyle''s mentality has undergone a 180-degree change. He can''t wait to release the financial report later, or even not announce the financial report. After the financial report is announced, it will cause a greater blow to Wheelock Shipping''s stock price. Unfortunately, because of its status as a listed company, Wheelock Shipping has to announce its financial report, and because of the influence of public opinion, the delay is longer, but it is also a bad thing. It may be that under the rumors, the stock price may fall more severely. It can be said that after Xia Yu''s move, Wheelock Shipping Company has reached a dilemma and is in a dilemma. However, Xia Yu was not ready to take action on Wheelock Shipping Company immediately. He planned to let the bullets fly for a while, just let the media company continue to cause trouble for it. Because of Australia, Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund finally started to do it. The first phase of the operations of the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund is actually making arrangements in three areas. One is to spend 3 billion US dollars to buy Australian dollars, reducing the amount of spot Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market, and driving the Australian dollar to US dollar exchange rate from 0.9025 to 0.9175 points. With a transaction volume of 3 billion U.S. dollars, naturally there is no such obvious effect. The key is that the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund made this start, drove other funds to enter the market, and boosted the Australian dollar exchange rate. In fact, the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund are Mingxiu plank roads, and they are secretive. Obviously, the exchange rate of the Australian dollar is being looked at. But secretly, taking advantage of the market''s bullish Australian dollar exchange rate, secretly through offshore shell companies, a large amount of forward foreign exchange transactions of buying US dollars and selling Australian dollars, the contract period is not one year, but three months! The exchange rate of forward foreign exchange contracts is generally locked at 0.9047-0.9095. The total amount of forward foreign exchange contracts, as high as 18 billion US dollars, is based on the mode of depositing deposits. Among them, the Bank of Australia provided the most forward foreign exchange contracts, reaching 6 billion US dollars, followed by Westpac Bank, reaching 5.5 billion US dollars, and then other financial companies cumulatively reaching 6.5 billion US dollars. To buy US dollars and sell Australian dollars forward foreign exchange contracts is actually a long-term short Australian dollar. When the Australian dollar exchange rate continues to rise, the effect of forward foreign exchange contracts is more difficult to show, and it is easier to be fooled. And because the spot Australian dollar exchange rate continues to rise, interests will blind people''s eyes and relax their vigilance. The third area is short-selling the spot Australian dollar. The Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund borrowed Australian dollars everywhere, and a total of up to 15 billion Australian dollars were borrowed, with borrowing points ranging from 0.9037 to 0.9149. Among them, it borrowed AU$5.2 billion from Westpac Bank, then AU$3.4 billion from the Australian Insurance Company, and then borrowed AU$ from other companies, including Australia¡¯s fifth largest bank, St. George¡¯s Bank, which borrowed AU$2.1 billion. . As a result, Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund held a total of 18.27 billion Australian dollars in foreign exchange and forward foreign exchange contracts worth 18 billion US dollars. The reason why the foreign exchange is as high as 18.27 billion US dollars is because of the 3.27 billion Australian dollars bought at a cost of 3 billion US dollars. The preparations for the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund are almost done, and the Bright Fund has not stagnated. The main direction of the Bright Fund is to harvest the assets of the Sydney consortium. But before harvesting, the Bright Fund has to raise ammunition. The Bright Fund raises ammunition by shorting the Australian stock market, borrowing and selling shares of listed companies in the name of many of its companies, mainly for the major listed companies of the Sydney consortium. In this way, Bright Fund directly received 14.64 billion Australian dollars of funds. After everything is ready, the offense begins! February 1, 1985, the sky was clear, and it seemed like a good day. The Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund started to sell large amounts of Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market, selling up to 3 billion Australian dollars in a series! The AUD/USD exchange rate has already reached 0.9182 points, and it continues to climb. But as much as 3 billion Australian dollars was thrown out, the rise of the Australian dollar exchange rate was immediately interrupted. There were more Australian dollars on the market, and the Australian dollar exchange rate fell immediately. The market panicked immediately, and major financial companies inquired about what had happened. Then, the news came out, Wall Street Gemini''s Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund successively released news, bearish on the Australian dollar exchange rate. This is blatantly wanting to be a big short, shorting the Australian dollar! Last year, the Wall Street Gemini were two big shorts, doing whatever they wanted in the Canadian market, blasting the Canadian dollar currency market. Unexpectedly, after only a year, I am eyeing Australia again, still shorting! The first two funds must have a problem with the long Australian dollar exchange rate, which is a bait! With this in mind, some institutions sensed the crisis and opportunities, and the controllers decisively decided to change positions to sell Australian dollars and buy U.S. dollars. For a time, the Australian dollar on the market continued to increase. Although there are still institutions that are optimistic about the Australian dollar, the buying speed is much slower than the selling speed. The AUD/USD exchange rate fell from 0.9182 to 0.9164 in less than five minutes, and it is still falling. The Bank of Australia smelled the crisis, and the people below immediately reported it, and the news reached the ears of the Governor of the Bank of Australia Jack Staff. "What? Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund are shorting the Australian dollar?" When he heard the news, it was Jack Staf who had been accustomed to the ups and downs, and he was still distracted by it. The Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund are different from other institutions. UU Reading these two institutions are famous villains. They stepped on the Canadian dollar body to reach the top, naturally wearing a halo, and their appeal is extraordinary. . Now these two villains are shorting the Australian dollar. When he learned the news, there must have been a large number of institutions around the world that had also received the news. At this time, there must be a lot of international hot money already mobilizing funds and preparing to wander outside the Australian foreign exchange market. "Steven, immediately call the top management for a meeting in ten minutes!" After giving the order to Secretary Steven Ori, Jack Staf immediately ordered Eric Arch, the head of the exchange rate department of the central bank who came to report the news, and said: "Eric, take me to see." Soon, the three of them left the office and divided into two groups. When Jack Staff and Eric Arch came to the exchange rate department, the Australian dollar exchange rate had fallen to 0.9148 points. The entire exchange rate department is prepared, obviously knowing the seriousness of the matter and the power of the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund. It''s just whether or not to buy Australian dollars under the guise, the people below them can''t be the masters, only Eric Archie, the director of the exchange rate department, and Jack Staff, the president, can call the shots. Before Jack Staf could speak, Eric Archie first suggested: "President, I suggest entering the market immediately and intervening. We must resolutely respond to short positions. Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund are very powerful. Once the market panics and panic The formation of investors¡¯ pessimistic expectations can easily lead to a ¡°herding effect¡±. By then, our pressure will be dozens of times what it is now!" The error-free chapters of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will continue to be updated on the novel website.

"Then release an announcement to boost market confidence." Jack Stuff was able to serve as the governor of the Bank of Australia, and his ability was only stronger than Eric Archie, and he immediately issued the order. Eric Archie lifted his spirits and was immediately executed. With the rapid entry of the Reserve Bank of Australia''s US$3 billion in foreign exchange reserves, the Australian dollar exchange rate stopped falling, and even tended to rise after the shock. Seeing this, the bulls immediately supported the Bank of Australia. "President, the situation is not very optimistic, our foreign exchange reserves are insufficient, and we should find a solution as soon as possible." Eric Archie said worriedly. The latest U.S. dollar foreign exchange reserves of the Bank of Australia have decreased compared to before, at $6.71 billion. Now that three billion U.S. dollars are put into the market at once, only 3.71 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves are left. Judging by the intensity of the war that broke out in the Canadian foreign exchange market last year, such a small amount of US dollar foreign exchange is far less than that of Canada at the time, and it is difficult to stop short-term attacks. What''s more, the shorts this time are the ones whose strength has been strengthened after the Canadian foreign exchange war! "I know that when we have a meeting, we will discuss countermeasures. For now, we can hold on to it for now." Jack Staf said with a sullen face, his eyes very solemn. Soon, the two hurriedly left the exchange rate department and came to the conference room. When they arrived, all the top executives at the headquarters were in place, and those who asked for leave for business trips were fine. After taking a seat at the main seat, Jack Staf immediately said with a serious look: "Just now, the short positions led by Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund of the United States were selling Australian dollars on a large scale in an attempt to repeat the disaster in the Canadian financial market last year. " "This is the biggest crisis we have encountered since the Australian dollar exchange rate was able to float freely in December 1983. This test is related to the security of our country''s financial market." "I just came back from the Exchange Rate Department. Just now I have directly approved 3 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves to enter the market to stabilize the Australian dollar exchange rate." "The purpose of calling you here is to brainstorm and discuss countermeasures together to defeat those financial robbers!" As soon as the voice fell, the high-level people sitting there suddenly began to discuss. Someone suggested: "President, with our current US dollar foreign exchange reserves, it will definitely be difficult to stay behind. I suggest immediately dumping the British pound, Japanese yen and other foreign currencies and converting them into US dollars!" "I agree that if all these foreign exchanges are exchanged, they should be able to raise more than four billion U.S. dollars!" "I agree." Jack Staff did not express his position, but he quickly recorded it with a pen. Obviously he agreed with this opinion. An executive commented: "I do not recommend that funds enter the market immediately. The exchange rate should be lowered to around 0.90, and then a large amount of funds should be entered into the market to save our capital costs and also have more room for maneuver." The only response to this executive was Jack Staf¡¯s cold eyes. He just ordered to invest 3 billion US dollars into the market to buy Australian dollars. Does this executive have no ears or no brains! "I object. The bears must be tentatively attacking at first. They are investigating our attitude. Even if we show some weakness, we will be infinitely amplified. Then, we will have greater troubles." "I think we must resolutely fight back to stabilize market sentiment and investor mentality." ¡­ Others have also expressed their opinions one after another. On this issue, the majority believe that the firm will fight back. Jack Staff didn¡¯t want to waste time here. He slapped the table and said: ¡°Well, this question is skipped and we must resolutely fight back. Our weakness will bring a huge risk. This risk should not be taken!¡± "Next suggestion!" After Jack Staff made the decision, the executives who had made such comments kept silent, thinking about other ways. At this time, the Director of the Exchange Rate Department Eric Archie suggested: "President, I suggest raising short-term interest rates, increasing institutional borrowing costs, using policy means to show our attitude, scaring the shorts, and cutting off some of their funding sources. ." "The current loan interest rate is 14.745%. I suggest raising it to more than 20%." Compared to raising US dollar and foreign exchange defense, this interest rate adjustment policy is somewhat similar to the strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom, although it can only have an effect on some institutions. But at this time, it can weaken the future strength of the bears and make some bears stay away, even if they succeed. Another more aggressive executive expressed his supportive attitude: "I suggest that you mention more than 30%, and be more aggressive, to make our attitude clearer." But someone immediately stood up and objected: "I object, such a high interest rate will have a huge negative impact on the domestic economy, and the problem of bad debts of banks and enterprises will be exposed. This side effect is too great." "Once we do not resolve this crisis in a short period of time, then our domestic financial market will have a crisis, and both internal and external crises will erupt together. The problem is too big!" "At that time, we will have to lower the loan interest rate. Once it is lowered, it will be a surrender to short positions, and international hot money will lose the last awe." "I support raising the short-term loan interest rate, but it cannot be too high. It is enough to raise it to between 20% and 23%. It is not a last resort and cannot exceed 23%!" ¡­ Around this countermeasure, everyone at UU Reading is constantly arguing, trying to persuade each other, but also constantly being persuaded. Finally reached an agreement that interest rate leverage can be used, but short-term borrowing rates increased by one-third, from 14.745% to 22.117%. At the same time, keep the attitude of continuing to raise interest rates later, whether you want to use it or not, it depends on the situation. After discussing two suitable measures, everyone immediately discussed the next measure. The previous two measures were to raise US dollars and foreign exchange to strengthen itself, and the other was to raise short-term loan interest rates to weaken the enemy. But if you want to survive this crisis, the key is to have enough confidence. Those who can give confidence are naturally enough pockets! "I suggest immediately borrowing from other countries and the World Bank, especially the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The United Kingdom is our sovereign country. The breach of our financial market will have a huge impact on the pound system. A large amount of British capital investment in our Australia will depreciate. ." "New Zealand has a high rate of integration with our financial markets. Once we are unlucky, New Zealand will definitely be affected. For this reason, we let the government persuade New Zealand to intervene in the Australian dollar spot market and stabilize the Australian dollar exchange rate." "I also agree that we must borrow at least 15 billion U.S. dollars in funds, otherwise it will be difficult to resist short-term attacks, and the speed must be absolutely fast, publicity must be in place, and the short-term players will retreat when they are difficult.

One is to clear currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar. Foreign trade transactions are temporarily settled in U.S. dollars. At the same time, the national debts of the United Kingdom and the United States are sold, and U.S. dollars are returned to increase U.S. foreign exchange reserves. The second is to increase short-term loan interest rates and increase institutional short-selling costs. The third is to persuade New Zealand, the United Kingdom and other countries to help and fight back the shortfall. The fourth is to ask other countries, international financial institutions and organizations such as the World Bank to borrow money to increase US dollar foreign exchange reserves. After discussing the results, Jack Staf immediately went to the Australian Ministry of Finance to report to the Minister of Finance Paul John. Most of these measures need to be approved and implemented at the national level. Undoubtedly, Paul John agreed to implement these measures after consulting Prime Minister Bob Lake. Soon, the Bank of Australia announced a new short-term lending rate, which was raised from 14.745% to 22.117%. Seeing such a fierce response from the Australian government, some hot money was immediately discouraged. The Bank of Australia also mobilized funds to buy Australian dollars, and the exchange rate of Australian dollars against the US dollar immediately stopped the decline. As many short positions are sold, the Bank of Australia and the many domestic institutions that have been mobilized in Australia will take as much, and the price is that the US dollar and foreign exchange are constantly being consumed. But the Australian dollar against the dollar exchange rate finally stabilized at 0.9135 points. Although it has fallen from its peak, the Bank of Australia is also satisfied. At this time, on Wall Street in the United States, something that could determine the destiny of Australia was happening. Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund jointly acted as the host and invited Wall Street financial leaders who are very keen on the Australian currency market to meet and hold a forum. Of course, the main purpose of the participants was to listen to the true attitudes of Rey Dario and Julian Robertson, so as to decide whether they should bet or how big they should be. "Rey, the RBA''s response was very intense, and it seemed to be frightened by the Canadian results." Warrenson Pieve, vice president of Merrill Lynch, said jokingly, his eyes locked on Rey Dario''s face. Rey Dario kept smiling and said without haste: "Their response has strengthened my confidence. We just tried it out and the Bank of Australia threw such a big bargaining chip." "Compared with future benefits, what is the interest cost at this point? The prohibitive hot money is destined to always eat **** behind." Douglas Dwight, Bear Stearns''s vice president, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Benefits and risks coexist. Without the determination to win, you are indeed not eligible to enjoy the delicious big cake." At this time, James Simmons, the president of Renaissance Technologies, pushed his glasses, looked at Julian Robertson, who had not spoken next to Rey Dario, and asked: "Julian, we are here today. , I just want to help you and make some hard work by the way. For friends, should you give us a bottom line?" Others also focused their attention on Julian Robertson, another protagonist. Julian Robertson smiled: "Actually, I can''t predict how much we can do when we are all sitting together." "But I know one thing, that is, Australia can never stop our union." "When I deduced with Rey before, we both had a success rate of more than 60% for the cooperation between our two funds." "Now here, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Lehman, GNA, Renaissance, Goldman Sachs...I can''t think of a reason for failure." "Even if it is an attack on the pound or franc, we are likely to succeed." "How low the Australian dollar will be beaten depends entirely on you. You want to make less profit, don''t you?" "Papa..." "Julian, you are right. As long as we all work together, we can drive more than half of Wall Street''s capital to follow. Canada could not stop it before, and now Australia can''t stop it." ¡­ In this meeting, no details were discussed, because although everyone is a partner, they are also competitors. Australia¡¯s cake is placed there, and how much you can eat depends on their respective strengths. Now everyone is not sure how much money will be used to enter the market later, and they do not want to elaborate. Anyway, the big framework has been set, and everyone has enough confidence. This is enough. After everyone left, Rey Dario and Julian Robertson smiled at each other and decided to start the second stage of the offense. The first stage of the tentative attack has probably known the bottom of the RBA. Through this meeting, enough helpers have been attracted. Now we must take advantage of the RBA still has money and the exchange rate has not plummeted, so we must first cash out at a high level. , Let''s talk about the return of dollars. It''s time to take the burden of smashing the pan out. If it is too late, wait until other capitals enter the market and knock down the Australian dollar exchange rate. Every point that falls is a loss! Three billion Australian dollars were thrown in the first stage, and at this time the two funds have a total of 15.27 billion Australian dollars. Not much to say, just one word-throw! The two major funds began to sell Australian dollars continuously. This second stage is not as large-scale as the first stage. It focuses on high-level shipments and consumes Australian dollar and foreign exchange. UU reading naturally controls the intensity. Several millions of Australian dollars and tens of millions of Australian dollars were sold on a scale of tens of millions of Australian dollars, and they were continuously recovered in exchange for dollars. Once they find that the bulls want to launch a fierce attack to regain their lost ground, the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund will fight back without saying a word. They will definitely not let the bulls get started and be sheared honestly. After a week, although the Australian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar did not crash, it was also killed below 0.91, and the bulls gradually showed fatigue. In the past week, the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund alone have sold up to 9.2 billion Australian dollars and returned 8.22 billion US dollars. This dollar far exceeds the previous foreign exchange reserves of the Bank of Australia. Although most of the Australian dollars thrown by the two major funds have been eaten by long-term institutions in Australia and abroad, the foreign exchange reserves of the Bank of Australia have also consumed a lot. . Fortunately, the New Zealand government and the British government borrowed six billion US dollars and then sold other foreign exchange to raise 4.2 billion US dollars, so that the Bank of Australia has a surplus. But the US dollar foreign exchange reserves are only 5.38 billion US dollars. From the 1st to the 8th, the Bank of Australia''s US dollar foreign exchange reserves consumed a total of US$11.69 billion! The Australian government is nervous. Australian Finance Minister Paul John urgently summoned the central bank governor Jack Staff, and at the same time called a think tank to discuss, and decided to launch a fierce attack, must reverse the decline and attract international hot money to help increase the Australian dollar exchange rate. Just rely on yourself to top, sooner or later you will be rubbed to death! The error-free chapters of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will continue to be updated on the novel website.

"As for the current situation of the foreign exchange market, everyone has detailed information in hand and has already seen it. We are already at a disadvantage. The offensive firepower of Wall Street and international hot money is very strong, and we are already at a disadvantage." "We must reverse the situation immediately, otherwise we will be breached by these financial robbers in Australia''s financial system, and the entire capital market will be bloodbathed and face the same fate as Canada." "If we lose, then I can only take the blame and resign, and many of you can''t escape!" The top Australian Treasury Minister Paul John said with his hands on the table, looking at everyone sitting with a serious face. Everyone shuddered, and subconsciously sat up straight, but their eyes did not dare to collide with Paul John. In particular, the central bank president Jack Stuff lowered his head in shame. But he can''t hide, Paul John directly named: "Jack, tell me what the central bank can do." Jack Staf raised his head and took a deep breath to calm his mood and said: "Minister Paul, currently the central bank¡¯s US dollar foreign exchange reserves are only 5.38 billion U.S. dollars, which is temporarily not enough to support the situation to reverse the situation. The top priority is to find Strong allies, as well as borrowing more US dollars and foreign exchange, are now competing for hard power, to see who has the fierce firepower and who can survive to the end." "The central bank has studied two methods here. One is to further increase short-term lending rates, and the other is the government''s order to prohibit domestic banks from lending Australian dollars to international speculators." These two methods are both feasible, and one is more ruthless than the other, especially the second method, which is equivalent to cutting off more than half of the ammunition purchase channels for international speculators. If there is not enough Australian dollars to hit the market, as long as the Australian government can support it, and international speculators have no Australian dollars to sell, the Australian dollar exchange rate is the Bank of Australia. However, this can only restrict domestic banks, and cannot restrict the branches of foreign banks in Australia, nor can it restrict financial or entity companies other than banks. Therefore, there are still loopholes, but this loophole cannot be blocked, nor can it be blocked. Of course, although the effects of these two methods will be very good, the harm will also be great. If they drag on for a long time, the domestic capital market in Australia will not be able to sustain it first, and it will easily become chaotic or even collapse. Policy is only a means, the most important thing is to compete with hard power! Paul John''s face was a little slow, and he was fairly satisfied with Jack Staff''s work. But the most important thing is the US dollar foreign exchange issue! He asked again: "Everyone thinks that if these two measures are implemented, how much US dollar foreign exchange do we need now to win this exchange rate defense war?" "I think it needs at least 10 billion U.S. dollars. This is the amount needed under the premise that the hot money on our side does not withdraw." "There is still a risk in ten billion dollars. I think at least 15 billion dollars are needed." ... "The high short-term lending rate has already had a negative impact on the domestic economy in just over a week. If the lending rate is raised again, the adverse effects will be further highlighted." "So if we raise short-term lending rates again, we must win this financial war as soon as possible, and we can''t afford it!" ... "If you borrow money, Wall Street will have a stronger influence on the World Bank Organization and the International Monetary Fund. It is difficult for us to borrow money from the World Bank Organization and the International Monetary Fund. This is why we have not borrowed money until now. the reason." "I think it is better to borrow money from the United Kingdom, and the British government will find a way. Maybe it can coordinate the lending among the members of the Commonwealth. Canada is looted by capital, which has severely reduced the influence and overall strength of the Commonwealth. We have also been ransacked in Australia, and New Zealand cannot escape." "At that time, the entire British Commonwealth will only be able to support the United Kingdom and India, and it will be difficult for the other more than forty countries to play a role. How can it compete with Hongsu and the United States?" ... After the discussion, the opinions gradually unified, especially when it came to asking Britain for help, it has evolved into coercing Britain to help Australia. According to their analysis, when the United Kingdom becomes the leader of the alliance, it has the responsibility to protect the younger brother, and the United Kingdom dare not protect it. Otherwise, the members of the Commonwealth will have to separate themselves from the United Kingdom. Of course, it is not necessary for Australia to go this far. Facts have proved that Australia''s policy has worked. After the meeting, Treasury Secretary Paul John reported the situation to Prime Minister Bob Lake, and Bob Lake directly called Margaret Thatcher for help. Although the UK is deeply mired in a wave of strikes, the Conservative government''s struggle with the unions has reached the most critical moment. But in the end, the British government decided to help the Australian government. First, the Bank of England and its domestic banks loaned six billion US dollars of foreign exchange to the Australian government; second, the British came forward to match Australia and allow the Commonwealth members to reach out to Australia. Help, it is estimated that the guarantee will be 4 billion U.S. dollars. The 10 billion U.S. dollars is fully assisted by the United Kingdom. As for private capital, how much the Australian government can invite depends on their own ability. Regarding this kind of huge risk, the British government does not want its own capital to fall into it. After all, the behavior of capital is profitable and lossy. Unlike the government borrowing money, it must be repaid, and it is not afraid of loss. If domestic capital suffers a serious loss, the long-term loss will only be local. The behavior between governments depends entirely on the will of the upper echelons. This time, it only took less than two days. With the help of the United Kingdom, the Australian government borrowed US$10.8 billion in foreign exchange . In these two days, the Bank of Australia chose to temporarily stop and let the Australian dollar. The exchange rate against the U.S. dollar fell below 0.9, and the bears were quite in the limelight. However, after the 10.8 billion US dollars of foreign exchange arrived, the Bank of Australia has 16.18 billion US dollars. With such a large amount of funds in hand, the Bank of Australia''s waist was immediately hardened, and it was gearing up to fight back, regaining the top of the mountain, and hitting the shorts! On February 11, the Bank of Australia held a press conference. Australian Treasury Minister Paul John and Central Bank Governor Jack Staff attended the meeting at the same time. At the press conference, Paul John strongly accused Wall Street Capital and international hot money, led by Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund, of malicious attacks on Australian foreign exchange, and strongly declared that Australia is not Canada and the economic development is in good condition. He shorted the Australian dollar exchange rate. Will kill itself. After that, Jack Staf announced in the eyes of the public that in order to severely punish short positions, short-term lending rates will be raised again, from 22.117% to 35.249%. At the same time, the central bank also issued another decree prohibiting domestic banks from lending Australian dollars to international speculators. The moment the decree said it, the central bank''s exchange rate department, who was ready for a long time, immediately started to throw out a steady stream of US dollars to clear the short list. The shorts seemed to be overwhelmed by the offensive of the Bank of Australia. The Australian dollar exchange rate quickly surpassed the 0.9 mark from 0.8921 and then broke the 0.91 mark. The momentum of the bulls'' counterattack quickly took shape! The error-free chapters of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will continue to be updated on the novel website.

This time there are many short traders who have attacked the Australian financial market, now and in the future, who have the title of "King of Wall Street". Although the Bank of Australia¡¯s counterattack worked, it did not scare these big bears, but aroused their ferocity. Many big bosses ventilated each other, and they all had a common opinion. Australia is already hysterical! If this wave is repulsed, then you can start preparing for meat cutting! The Bank of Australia issued a ban to prevent domestic banks from lending Australian dollars to international speculators, although it blocked an important channel. But the bears have a way! Some speculators exchange from foreign trade companies at high interest rates, and there are always people who are not confident in the Australian dollar willing to exchange Australian dollars for US dollars. Some speculators exchange Australian dollars through multinational banks at branches in Australia. The U.S. dollar goes to the accounts of the multinational banks, and the Australian dollar is given to international speculators. There are speculators who directly approached central banks of various countries and used US dollars to apply for the exchange of Australian dollars held by central banks. No matter which party is willing to work with Australia, they just want to protect their own interests. The international speculators exchanged for these Australian dollars, and they all smashed them out, consuming the US dollars in the hands of the Bank of Australia and other bulls. Through this model, although international speculators have some losses, as long as they can blow the Bank of Australia, all losses will be borne by Australia and many bulls! At the same time, international speculators also opened positions to buy forward foreign exchange contracts and shorted the forward Australian dollar, demonstrating a strong determination to short sell and damaging the confidence of the bulls. Starting at the same time as the spot and the forward, the RBA was horrified to discover that the depletion rate of US dollar foreign exchange reserves was being consumed at a faster rate than before. During the three days from February 12th to 14th, the Australian foreign exchange market fought extremely fiercely. Bulls and bears repeatedly compete for the top of the hill. Half an hour ago, a wave of bullish attacks pushed the Australian dollar exchange rate to a peak of 0.9054. Half an hour later, the Australian dollar exchange rate was knocked down to a trough of 0.8914. The bulls then counterattacked collectively, pushing the exchange rate up to 0.9089. ... It was repeated like this, and the fight was inexorable, and no one was willing to give in until the last minute. The result of the concession is liquidation, and no one can afford this loss! The Air Force, headed by the two big shorts, the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund, have gradually reduced their inventory of spot Australian dollars and forward Australian dollars, but they have more and more US dollars in their hands. Using these U.S. dollars, the bears went crazy all over the world looking for Australian dollars, and at the same time penetrated into Australia in an all-pervasive way, trying to obtain more Australian dollars. The bears are able to spend the U.S. dollar again and buy new Australian dollar "ammunition." But the bulls headed by the Bank of Australia are uncomfortable. Holding a large amount of Australian dollars, they dare not let them go. The "dollar" ammunition is getting less and less, and the difficulty of obtaining "ammunition" is many times higher than that of the bears. No way, who makes the U.S. dollar the universal currency, while the Australian dollar is not? ... February 15th, Wall Street, USA. "Julian, it seems that the Bank of Australia can''t hold it anymore!" Rey Dario and Julian Robertson met again and watched the Australian dollar exchange rate hit 0.8854 points at one time. Then, in the past hour, they counterattacked several times, but the highest one was 0.8925. Rey Da Leo showed the winner''s smile and said to Julian Robertson. "It''s time to give the Bank of Australia one last shot!" Julian Robertson said with a laugh. "It''s indeed time to log in." "Think about it carefully. The Bank of Australia has worked very hard, but unfortunately there is a big gap between the strength of the bulls and ours." "But thanks to the support of the Bright Fund''s A$17.5 billion, otherwise we want to reach the current level, at least it will take four to five days!" As Rey Dario said, he couldn''t help feeling deeply. Think about these days, the remaining A$6.07 billion held by Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund have all been thrown away. Then the Bright Fund took the 14.64 billion Australian dollars of funds that were previously shorted in Australian equity, plus the funds raised by other companies, to make up 17.5 billion Australian dollars, all of which were converted into US dollars with the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund. The 17.5 billion Australian dollars of ammunition also cost 10.4 billion Australian dollars, and now only 7.1 billion Australian dollars are left on hand. However, in the eyes of Julian Robertson and Rey Dario, the 7.1 billion Australian dollars combined by both sides is enough to completely defeat the Bank of Australia! After discussion, the two ventilated with other friendly forces, and then issued instructions. Sydney time, 3:30 pm on February 15th. The Bridgewater Fund made a list of up to 3.5 billion Australian dollars. Tiger Fund followed closely behind, and also followed up with 3.5 billion Australian dollars. The "two hydrogen bombs" thrown by two strategic air bombers directly detonated the Australian foreign exchange market. At this time, Jack Stuff happened to be dispatching urgently at the Central Bank''s Exchange Rate Department. The Reserve Bank of Australia¡¯s US dollar foreign exchange reserves are only 1.97 billion US dollars left, and it is almost out of stock. After learning that the two orders totaling seven billion Australian dollars had been thrown out, the head of the Exchange Rate Department Eric Archie''s bloodshot eyes widened and he shouted in horror: "It''s over!" "Do not¡­¡­" The president of the central bank, Jack Staf, who had barely closed his eyes for a few days, reacted even more violently His eyes went dark and he fainted. He was quickly supported by the secretary behind and called a doctor. The Bank of Australia can''t help it! The Australian dollar bulls have also run out of ammunition. The Australian dollar exchange rate has completely collapsed! By 4 pm Sydney time, the Australian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar had fallen to 0.8349 points. Except for the fluctuations in the first fifteen minutes, and the following fifteen minutes, there was a complete decline without any fluctuations. The bulls are directly blown up, blood loss! The Australian foreign exchange market has become an empty carnival place, trampled on wantonly. In the evening of the same day, as soon as the news about the President of the Bank of Australia Jack Stuff fainted and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, the Australian people were very sad and indignant, but they could not hide their panic. Even if it was Australian Prime Minister Bob Lake''s call on television to all people to resist financial robbers, it would not help. Capitals at home and abroad are well aware that the Australian foreign exchange market has been punctured by shorts led by Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund, and it will completely collapse in the next few days. The armor of Australia''s financial markets is dead. The stock and bond markets have been exposed. If you don¡¯t follow up, let alone the meat, you may not even be able to drink the soup. Global capital quickly slaughtered to Australia, holding high the butcher knife, to carry out a full range of bloodbaths on Australia. While chanting "Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund are awesome", they chanted offensive slogans-don''t let any piece of Australian turf be spared!

Justin Kyle dragged his heels and refused to let Wheelock Shipping Company announce its earnings. Especially because when international speculators attacked Australia, the Sydney consortium was one of the representatives of the bulls. This time, the loss was heavy and the capital chain was tight. Justin Kyle even wanted to hide. After all, Westpac Bank was the biggest financial supporter when it acquired Wheelock Shipping. If Wheelock Shipping Company bursts into thunder and causes Westpac Bank¡¯s large loan loss, it will definitely make Westpac Bank worse. It''s just that all of this is under Xia Yu''s control, and Justin Kyle is no more. He thought that he could avoid it without releasing the earnings report, which was too whimsical. And the one who did it was the well-known Jiuding Securities Research Institute of Xiangjiang. On February 17, Jiuding Securities Research Institute released the latest securities research report, rating 16 listed companies. Seven of them have a buy rating, five companies have an overweight rating, three companies have a wait-and-see rating, and one company has a worst avoidance rating. It was Wheelock Shipping that received the avoidance rating. In the report, an in-depth analysis of Wheelock Shipping''s operating status and the situation and trend of the entire shipping market will be carried out, and it will be completely overwhelming. Especially for the analysis of Wheelock Shipping¡¯s fixed fleet value, the total value has shrunk further to around 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Wheelock Shipping¡¯s losses last year plus liabilities will also be around 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. In terms of main business, Wheelock Shipping''s operating status further deteriorated. After the rating report was issued, the market was in an uproar. Some people suspect that Jiuding Securities Research Institute has deeper intentions, but more people dare not take a fluke and directly dump the stock. So after the opening of the stock market. Wheelock''s share price plunged directly. In just ten minutes, the company''s stock price fell from 8.34 Hong Kong dollars per share to 7.37 Hong Kong dollars per share, and its market value fell to 10.625 billion Hong Kong dollars. Within ten minutes, the market value had evaporated by 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. And this is not the end. At 14 minutes, the market value of Wheelock Shipping Company officially fell below the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars and continued to rush downward. Half an hour later, the market value of Wheelock Shipping has fallen to 8.06 billion Hong Kong dollars. In half an hour, the market value has shrunk by one-third, evaporating four billion Hong Kong dollars! And the stock price continues to fall, but it has slowed down, and the market panic has relatively disappeared. Some gambling organizations frantically inquired about the movements of the Jiuding Consortium, while keeping an eye on the movements of Wheelock Shipping, and at the same time began to buy stocks in the market. Of course, these institutions are also bought in small quantities. The main force of the real underpinning is the Tolling company that entrusts the institutions to do it. It''s just that Justin Kyle was agitated at this time, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Toll previously acquired a 55.7% stake in Wheelock Shipping Company at a cost of 8.71 billion Hong Kong dollars. This fund is already higher than the current market value of the entire Wheelock Shipping Company. According to the current market value, Toll has already lost more than HK$4.2 billion in this investor. That is to say, the financial support provided by the consortium¡¯s Westpac, as well as the Barclays Bank of the Lowhill family¡¯s ally, and the National Westminster Bank are all related. As long as it does not cause bad effects, it should be able to top Stay stressed. It was another bank, and the phone calls were definitely coming. It''s just that the relationship belongs to the relationship. After all, paper can''t contain the fire. After a long time, there will be trouble. In particular, the National Bank of Westminster Bank, which is the farthest, the Rothschild family is just a major shareholder, unable to speak out. This is an uncontrollable factor. Therefore, what needs to be done most now is to quickly boost the stock price of Defeng Shipping Company. This is the only way for Tolling to survive! Justin Kyle and Myron Marjorie negotiated secretly to discuss countermeasures. "Myron, how many people have read the company''s financial report?" Justin Kyle clutched an earnings report and said to Myron Kyle with a serious look. Myron Marjorie thought carefully for nearly ten minutes before he said affirmatively: ¡°President, the complete financial report has been read by only five people, including you and me, and three people in the finance department.¡± "We haven''t audited it with a professional accounting firm yet." Justin Kyle breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, his expression disillusioned. This unannounced financial report can never be announced now. Wheelock Shipping''s business situation last year was worse than expected. It did not get the dividends of the five listed companies under its umbrella, and the failure to clean up other assets, so Wheelock Shipping Company''s loss last year was as high as 458 million Hong Kong dollars! Moreover, this still does not take into account the shrinkage in the value of the fixed assets of the fleet, and the selectivity is ignored. If it is evaluated according to the research report issued by Jiuding Securities Research Institute, Wheelock Shipping Company''s loss can be written as 600 million Hong Kong dollars. "Myron, after the report of Jiuding Securities Research Institute comes out, we will continue to delay the release of the financial report, which will be very harmful. Investors need a satisfactory financial report." For a long time, Justin Kyle said quietly. Myron Marjorie was taken aback, then his face changed, and he blurted out: "President, do you mean financial fraud?" Although the term is harsh, Myron Marjorie is his own, and Justin Kyle did not deny: "This is the only way!" "Wheelock Shipping Company is valuable. If we follow our original plan, Wheelock Shipping Company will be able to get out of the quagmire, but unfortunately, our enemies will not let us have that development. Time is up." "Our development strategy has failed!" "So now we have to get out, UU reading will throw away the time bomb of Defeng Shipping." "Otherwise, this loss will bring Tolling into the abyss!" "The current situation of the consortium is not good. Australia was invaded by foreign capital. It is impossible for the consortium to give us any more financial support, but we cannot hold back the consortium!" Myron Marjorie was silent, uneasy. He never thought that in just a few months, he would reach this desperate point. "President, I understand what you mean, this is indeed the best way." "It''s just that we still need to find a suitable accounting firm." "Jiuding Securities Research Institute has issued a rating report for our company. Now the outside world has paid great attention to our company''s situation, so few accounting firms dare to cooperate with us." Myron Marjorie forcibly calmed his mind and said in a deep voice. Seeing his confidant¡¯s willingness to cooperate, Justin Kyle breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately said: ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the third-party accounting firm. Financial report." "The other three people who have read the financial report, you think of a way to get them to tie up with us." "Understood!" Myron Marjorie replied decisively. After that, after talking in detail for a while, Myron Marjorie hurried away, leaving Justin Kyle sitting there, silent for a long time...

Such things must be kept as secret as possible. Therefore, the best choice for this matter is to ask an accounting firm controlled by the Sydney consortium behind the scenes to complete it. Dynst Accounting Firm, which is one of the top ten accounting firms in Australia, was cultivated by the Sydney consortium. As a third-party financial audit, Dernst CPA has sufficient credibility to bluff investors in Xiangjiang. In the emergency re-production of the financial report, in order to curb the stock price decline, Justin Kyle held a press conference, which lasted for half an hour. At the press conference, Justin Kyle¡¯s attitude was extremely tough. He criticized the report of Jiuding Securities Research Institute as being extremely wrong and full of malice. The company is already producing last year''s financial report, and it will be announced to the public in the near future. Investors are kindly requested to stay sensible. It has to be said that the effect of this press conference is very good. After the media reports, the market sentiment has been greatly appeased, and more investors have chosen to wait and see temporarily. Just the words of Justin Kyle, Xia Yu absolutely didn''t believe it. His Jiuding Business Research Institute has a very clear grasp of the situation of the various companies in Xiangjiang, and it can be said that it has the most information besides the operators. Before Toll Corporation suddenly came out to acquire Wheelock Shipping Company, Xia Yu had already investigated very clearly, and he knew exactly what the foundation of Wheelock Shipping Company was. It is absolutely impossible for Toll to fill in the holes in the first three quarters immediately after taking over, and it will be greatly improved. Justin Kyle vowed to claim that Wheelock Shipping¡¯s financial report would prove everything, and Xia Yu didn¡¯t have to think about knowing what he thought might be possible. But guess what, the key is to get strong evidence. It can only be said that Justin Kyle underestimated Xia Yu''s intelligence gathering ability. Following Xia Yu''s order, Luo Wang immediately carried out secret monitoring of relevant financial figures of Wheelock Shipping Company. At the same time, intelligence personnel sneaked into the financial room at night to install bugs. Soon, there will be results. Jiuding Building, in Xia Yu''s office. Xia Yu leaned on the chair in a comfortable posture, holding a copy of the financial report copied by the intelligence personnel. This financial report was the most authentic one. "Sure enough, Wheelock Shipping''s losses are very serious, even higher than the analysis of Jiuding Securities Research Institute." After reading the financial report, Xia Yu said with a sneer, then threw the financial report on the desktop and turned on the special VCR. "...Sarah, the data here needs to be adjusted to complete the production as soon as possible,...Dernst Accounting Firm..." This wiretap recording was selected by Luo Net intelligence personnel among many recordings, and it is also the most useful. At the same time, Luo Wang also investigated the information of Dernst Accounting Firm based on the eavesdropping content, and before Xia Yu ordered it, it had arranged personnel from the Australian branch to start the operation. At the Dynst Accounting Firm, there is no gain for the time being, but there is still time. Later, Xia Yu gave instructions to let Luo Wang fully monitor the relevant personnel of Dernst Accounting Firm, and must catch clues. More than a week passed by. The market value of Wheelock Shipping Company fell to about 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars and stabilized. Although the fluctuations were violent, it did not continue to fall anyhow. On the morning of February 24, Wheelock Shipping Company officially announced its financial report for the previous year. The financial report shows that in 1984, Wheelock Shipping¡¯s total turnover was 9.723.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, net profit was 362 million Hong Kong dollars, and net profit margin was 3.72%. Although the net profit margin is very low, in a sluggish shipping market, Wheelock Shipping has maintained its profitability and turned losses into profits compared to 1983. In the same field, Hong Kong''s shipping companies, such as IMC, Orient Overseas, and Huaguang Shipping, are all at a loss. Sit down! And this time, Wheelock Shipping Company has not yet received profit dividends from the five subsidiaries. Considering the special influence of Wheelock Shipping and the entire Wheelock Consortium, the market value of Wheelock Shipping will naturally not be restricted by the P/E ratio. After the financial report was released, Wheelock Shipping''s stock price started a skyrocketing pattern. When the market was closed that day, the market value of Wheelock Shipping had returned to a scale of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, reaching 10.742 billion Hong Kong dollars. The single-day increase is as high as 65 percent! The increase jumped to the first place in Hong Kong stocks! Of course, Wheelock Shipping will inevitably become the biggest public opinion hotspot in the capital market. Over the past many years, the credibility of Jiuding Securities Research Institute has been established, but this time it has planted a big somersault on Wheelock Shipping Company. It is not that no one questioned it. It''s just that Wheelock Shipping''s financial report is indeed very reasonable, and its net profit margin is only 3.72%, which is not outrageous. Therefore, although some people questioned it privately, they could not produce evidence and could not find out the loopholes in Wheelock Shipping''s financial report. Some relatively cautious investors took advantage of the rise in Wheelock Shipping''s stock price and secretly sold out the stock. On February 25, under the control of Toll, the share price of Wheelock Shipping Co., Ltd. continued to rise amidst the controversy, and once again hit the 12 billion Hong Kong dollar mark. Just as Justin Kyle let out a long sigh of relief, the stock price of Wheelock Shipping Company fluctuated violently for a few minutes. uukanshu.com then saw a large number of sell orders on the market, and the stock price began to fall. When he was in a daze, his subordinates suddenly rushed into the operation room to report the emergency to him. "President, it''s not good. Jiuding Securities Research Institute publicly reported our company''s financial fraud to the Securities Regulatory Commission and the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange in real names." "How can it be!" "How dare they do this?" Justin Kyle''s face changed drastically, and he roared in disbelief, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This is Chi Guoguo''s act of lifting the table, why does Jiuding Securities Research Institute have the guts to report it? Jiuding Securities Research Institute is directly betting on the company''s credibility. This is definitely a lunatic behavior! This completely exceeded Justin Kyle''s expectation and caught him off guard. "Could it be... they have enough evidence?" "The company''s true situation has been leaked? Is there a rape?" Several thoughts popped up in Justin Kyle''s mind, making his palms sweat so fast, and his body trembling a little nervously. "You must check the situation!" Thinking of this, Justin Kyle hurriedly left the operation room and called Myron Marjorie, asking him to call all the relevant personnel preparing the financial report into his office. In addition to the urgent investigation of the insider, he has to repeatedly confirm the accounting situation to ensure that it is difficult to find out. The China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange have received real-name reports and will definitely come to Wheelock Shipping to check the accounts! This is a fatal crisis! PS: It¡¯s going to be more tonight. This week is really hard. There is no time for water during the day.

Justin Kyle wanted to find out, absolutely wishful thinking. And Xia Yu didn''t plan to give him time to struggle. International capital has poured into Australia to stir the storm, and he is also rushing to reap the assets of the Sydney consortium in Australia. He needs the assistance of Wheelock Shipping''s bomb. Can it save a little? For the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, his will is the greatest will. Naturally, action will not be procrastinated. In the morning, I received a real-name report from Jiuding Securities Research Institute. At noon of the same day, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued a notice of investigation against Wheelock Shipping Company. At about 3 in the afternoon, the investigation team entered Wheelock Shipping Company in a high-profile manner. When the market was closed that afternoon, the market value of Wheelock Shipping Company fell even lower than before, to 6.27 billion Hong Kong dollars. As long as the investigation fails, Wheelock¡¯s share price will never rise. Although investment is risky, the risk is too great for investors to take the risk at all. With this time and capital, investing in other stocks may make more money. You know, the law does not clearly stipulate how long the CSRC will need to produce a result after the investigation is filed. The length of time is affected by many factors. One is whether the SFC is active or not, and the other is the complexity of the case. These two are the most critical. According to the situation abroad, it can last for a few months as long as one or two years. But Xia Yu would not waste so much time. The China Securities Regulatory Commission has the real financial report of Wheelock Shipping Company in its hands. It takes this thing to conduct a reverse investigation. The purposeless investigation has become a straightforward verification. It is not too simple. There are also recordings in hand. Although Jiuding Securities Research Institute said it was secretly provided by a stranger and it is not convenient to find the informant, these evidences are presented, and they are accurate. The investigation team started the investigation directly from the financial report compiler. Faced with the evidence presented, all the persons involved in the case collapsed and explained the situation honestly. The relevant financial personnel explained clearly the situation of the financial report fraud, and all the original materials have been found out, and the financial fraud can be 100% confirmed. However, the investigation did not end, because the financial staff did not know what happened after the preparation of the false financial report, only Justin Kyle and Myron Marjorie knew. After analyzing and judging one night, the investigation team directly approached Myron Marjorie, thinking that he was more likely to make a breakthrough here. In the closed interview room, there were only four people, the investigating team leader, recorder, and security officer in charge of the conversation, as well as Myron Marjorie. Myron Marjorie didn''t know the extent of the investigation team''s investigation, so although he was nervous in his heart, his face was pretending to be calm. The leader of the investigation team directly adopted the previous conversation routine without saying anything, and directly took out the original financial report provided by the financial staff and threw it to Myron Marjorie. After seeing this familiar financial report, Myron Marjorie''s face changed drastically. He suddenly raised his head to look at the investigation team leader, only to see the latter smiling, but his eyes sharp as a knife, as if he could see through people''s hearts. Dense, fine sweat came out of his forehead, and he panicked! "Myron Marjorie, who do you think this financial report will be, or who will hand it over?" The leader of the investigation team asked with a smile. Myron Marjorie was upset and wanted to argue but didn''t know what to say. The most common word in my mind is "finished"! The leader of the investigation team crossed his palms, elbows on the table, and leaned forward slightly. He said to Marjorie in an oppressive manner: "Marjorie, don¡¯t take a fluke. See this. A financial report, you should know that Wheelock Shipping¡¯s financial fraud has been exposed, and what you should think about now is yourself, not others." "You are the vice president in charge of finance. The preparation of false financial reports is done by people below you. You have the most basic review responsibility, followed by other responsibilities." "According to relevant laws, if the falsification of financial statements was done under the circumstances of being forced and forced to livelihood, and oneself did not gain any benefits in the process of falsifying financial statements, then if you can actively cooperate with the investigation, then you may be punished lightly. ." "At this time, if I were you, I would take the initiative to confess and only assume the responsibilities that I should bear." "It''s exactly 9:05 in the morning. "I will give you five minutes to think clearly. After five minutes, start recording. You have to take legal responsibility for your words and deeds." After speaking, the investigation team leader leaned on the chair and looked at him quietly. The other two members of the investigation team did not speak, and also looked at Myron Marjorie. In an instant, the atmosphere in the investigation room became more and more depressing, and Myron Marjorie only felt his heartbeat become clearer and clearer, swallowing continuously. With each time the investigation team leader raised his hand to look at his watch, Myron Marjorie became more restless, and the beads of sweat on his forehead grew bigger and bigger, and finally ran down the tip of his nose. Myron Marjorie felt that five minutes was as long as a century, and as short as an instant. With the minute hand on the watch pointing to the 10 position, the team leader of the investigation team immediately sat upright and said loudly, "Okay, five minutes are up, and now we will start taking notes." Myron Marjorie seemed to have taken all of his energy away, and said with a haggard face: "I take the initiative to explain everything." "It was President Justin Kyle who asked me to arrange artificial false financial reports. I am his subordinate and I can only execute it." "It happened..." As Myron Marjorie continued to tell, the recorder kept recording. This question lasted until 1.22 noon. With Myron Marjorie signing and fingerprinting on the transcript, the questioning finally came to an end. "Mr. Myron Marjorie, thank you for your cooperation. I will emphatically consider your performance and report it truthfully." "Thank you!" ... As Justin Kyle¡¯s confidant, Myron Marjorie knew the whole process clearly, and he knew even what happened when Justin Kyle was looking for Dernst. With these materials, Justin Kyle couldn''t argue. After lunch at noon, the investigation team directly asked Justin Kyle at 2:40 that afternoon. When the investigation team directly provided copies of all the materials to Justin Kyle, the psychological defense line created by the latter in the past two days collapsed. In the face of hard evidence, Justin Kyle can only honestly explain everything and try to mitigate the crime. Wheelock Shipping¡¯s financial fraud is an act that severely undermines the integrity of the market and must be handed over to the police As the company''s president, he will never escape. Until 7:21 in the evening, when the inquiry was over, Justin Kyle explained everything clearly. The investigation can be declared over. The investigation team needs to go back and sort out a complete investigation report as soon as possible. On March 2, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced the investigation of the real-name report on Wheelock Shipping¡¯s financial report fraud. Wheelock Shipping¡¯s financial fraud was true, the CSRC transferred the case to the police in accordance with the law, and relevant personnel will face legal sanctions. Regarding this matter, at the company level, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued an "Administrative Penalty Notice" to Wheelock Shipping Company, stating that Wheelock Shipping Company will be fined HK$11.5 million! It only took less than 6 days from accepting the report to finding out the truth. The efficiency of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is shocking. What is even more shocking is that Wheelock Shipping Company actually falsified its financial affairs, and Jiuding Securities Research Institute has actually discovered it and knows the situation of Wheelock Shipping Company well. Wheelock''s share price plummeted again. The credibility of the Jiuding Securities Research Institute has skyrocketed. Institutions that did not subscribe to the research report business have come to the door. With this incident, I believe that a research report of the Jiuding Securities Research Institute in the future will definitely be enough to disturb the capital market. The influence of the sub-pointer. With Wheelock Shipping¡¯s stock price sluggish, Xia Yu gave an order, and the Australian Jiuding Newspaper Branch immediately took action, with the blade directed at Australian integrated transportation giant Tolling Corporation and Westpac Bank!

However, the acquired Wheelock Shipping Company was suspected of financial fraud, and the actual loss was as high as 75 million U.S. dollars! And the shipping business has reached the critical point of assets and liabilities. In the long run, Wheelock Shipping''s share price is bound to collapse. Toll''s international investment was extremely wrong, with a loss of up to 968 million US dollars, and the company''s reputation was also seriously affected. After the news was exposed, Toll''s stock price plummeted. The reputation of Dernst Accounting Firm, one of the top ten accounting firms involved, was severely damaged. Just when the outside world was shocked by Toll''s news. Three cars came downstairs from Westpac Headquarters, and then a team of people walked out and was personally greeted by Westpac Chairman Milo Knox and entered the interior of the building. When the group came upstairs, they were divided into two parts. Among them, Stanney Kelsen, vice president of the Bright Fund and president of the Australian branch, and Milo Knox entered an office separately. During this period of time, Milo Knox was tossed and haggard, and one or two could be glimpsed from his somewhat haggard face at this time. "President Kelsen, why did you come to our company?" Milo Knox fixed his eyes on Stanney Kelsen, and asked nervously. After receiving the greeting message from the Bright Fund, Milo Knox was also shocked. It is true that Westpac has reached its limit and cannot withstand the toss of any large institution, so he can¡¯t wait to avoid it during this time. These large foreign institutions. He couldn''t hide it only when the invitation was delivered to the door, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet to greet him. Stanney Kelsen said with a smile: "President Knox, this time I am here to save the Knox family and Westpac Bank." As soon as these words came out, Milo Knox only felt the blood surge. It was really ugly. In an instant, his heart kept sinking and he began to prepare for the worst. "President Kelsen, we at Westpac Bank are doing well now, and our Knox family is also doing well, you are afraid you are joking." Milo Knoxpi smiled and replied. Stanney Kelsen shook his head and said loudly: "No, no, no, I never like to make jokes, I''m a very pragmatic person." "The Westpac crisis can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from us people." "Westpac has reached the brink of bankruptcy, which is not only visible to me." "I am indeed here to rescue the Knox family. You sell me the equity in Westpac Bank. Then any crisis that occurs after Westpac Bank will have nothing to do with you." Milo Knox said with a ferocious face: "Impossible, the equity held by our family will not be sold, and Westpac Bank will not go bankrupt, President Kelsen, please go back!" With that said, Milo Knox also made a gesture of seeing off the guests. But Stanney Kelsen still did not get up, but the smile on his face disappeared. Shameless, then Stanley Kelsen would not be polite. He stared at Milo Knox with a sharp gaze, and said with a sneer: "President Knox, as far as I know, Westpac sold a total of US$5.5 billion in forward foreign exchange contracts to the Bridgewater Fund. And the Tiger Fund, and then lent 6.3 billion Australian dollars to other institutions, of which the Tiger Fund and the Bridgewater Fund alone amounted to 5.2 billion Australian dollars." "Now the Australian dollar exchange rate has fallen by a third. In these two businesses, your bank has lost more than 3.7 billion Australian dollars!" "Now that the Australian stock market and bond market have plummeted, the mortgage equity assets of the major companies held by your bank have all shrunk, which is definitely a bad debt." "In addition, as far as I know, Westpac is the largest financial supporter of Toll''s acquisition of Wheelock Shipping." "Because of Toll¡¯s special relationship with you, Toll used a leveraged buyout for this acquisition. The leverage ratio was as high as 20 times. It only used US$42.5 million for itself, and US$87.5 million of funds were used. It was provided by Westpac Bank." "Now Wheelock Shipping Company has exploded, and the shares of Wheelock Shipping Company mortgaged in your bank have been seriously depreciated." "You said, if all these news are made public, how would investors and depositors choose?" "Will Westpac Bank''s capital chain be broken by a run, and will the bank go bankrupt?" This series of words was like a sharp knife thrusting into Milo Knox''s heart, turning his face pale, and looking at Stanney Kelsen with horror. This is the secret of Westpac, he even knows it! The Bright Fund is a group with them! "You...you..." Milo Knox pointed at Stanney Kelsen, wanted to say something but couldn''t say it, so he could only gasp quickly. "President Knox, fortunately these news have not been exposed for the time being. The equity held by your family is still valuable. Do you think I will take over the equity held by your family and take risks for you. Are you helping you? " Stanney Kelsen said softly. But these fluttering words came into Milo Knox''s ears like hell''s evil words. This is a naked threat! However, he dared not speak, but his only reason told him that he could not turn his face. In a moment, the room became quiet, and only violent breathing was heard. Stanney Kelsen looked at Milo Knox in silence. Nearly ten minutes passed. Milo Knox gradually calmed his mood and accepted this cruel and merciless reality. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Our family holds 19.4% of Westpac Bank. How much are you going to pay?" Stanney Kelsen smiled and said lightly: "A hundred million Australian dollars." Milo Knox said with a blue veins, "It''s impossible, it''s too low. This is an insulting price. I would rather the bank fail than sell it!" Now the Australian dollar exchange rate has been broken, and 100 million Australian dollars converted into US dollars is only about 60 million US dollars. Based on the 19.4% equity held by the Knox family, Westpac is only worth 515 million Australian dollars, equivalent to 300 million US dollars! Although Westpac has suffered serious losses, the price is still too low! Stanney Kelsen took a step back and increased the price by 10 million Australian dollars: "I can only add 10 million Australian dollars. Westpac is on the verge of bankruptcy. President Knox, you have to recognize the reality." "No, at least 500 million Australian dollars!" ¡­ What is involved is the equity trading of the Knox family, without the participation of senior executives of Westpac, the owner of the family, Milo Knox, is completely in charge. After intense negotiations, Milo Knox, who had already lost the initiative, was finally defeated and accepted the cruel reality. The 19.4% stake in Westpac Bank held by the Knox family was transferred to the Bright Fund at a price of AUD 210 million, and the bank¡¯s inside information must not be disclosed to the outside world. The reason why Bright Fund is willing to spend this money to acquire equity is that it is not easy to fight for when it is really bankrupt and liquidated. UU Reading www. The most important reason for uukanshu.com is that we don¡¯t want Westpac Bank to be run on by depositors and a credit crisis will break out. Westpac''s losses are at a loss, and Bright Fund will naturally have a way to hedge it after taking over. However, once it is run on, it will cause a huge blow to the bank''s reputation, and the bank''s assets will quickly lose, and what you get is a broken bank. Milo Knox also knew this. He also seized this point to negotiate. Otherwise, don''t even talk about 210 million Australian dollars. On the same day, Bright Fund signed an equity transfer agreement with the Knox family. In the next two days, Bright Fund used the same tactics to deal with other shareholders, all of them raised their hands and surrendered, choosing to stop losses in time. Plus the stocks that are buying bottom from the stock market. Bright Fund holds a total of 82.7% of Westpac Bank, costing a total of 944 million Australian dollars. Australia''s second largest bank and the largest financial core of the Sydney Consortium announced a change of ownership. After the news came out, whether it was Australia''s domestic capital and political circles, or international institutions, they were shocked. The Sydney consortium is over! The Bright Fund from the United Kingdom seized the lead, and international agencies immediately adjusted their strategies and aimed their guns at consortia other than the Sydney consortium to avoid falling into unnecessary competition. The Fairfax family, the Knox family, the Jonathan family, and the Johnston family all raised their hands to surrender, reluctantly cut their flesh to stop the damage, and shrink their strength to prepare for a comeback. With the help of Westpac Bank, the Bright Fund¡¯s harvesting operations against the Sydney consortium have speeded up again.

The most powerful hero who likes rebirth, please collect it: () The most powerful hero of rebirth has the fastest update speed. v3 Chapter 1365: Crazy earning hundreds of millions! Chapter 1365 Crazy earning tens of billions! The whole month of March is the harvest season. Harvesting and bargain hunting are the themes throughout this month! International capital arbitrarily bites the unresistible Australian capital market. The biggest piece of cake naturally belongs to Xia Yu, who controls everything behind the scenes. It belongs to the Tiger Fund, the Bridge Water Fund and the Bright Fund! At the same time, international capital is tacitly manipulating public opinion together, pointing the finger at the Australian authorities, letting ignorant people hold large-scale demonstrations, and demanding the resignation of incompetent central bank governors and finance ministers. On March 10, Australia¡¯s ultra-high short-term borrowing interest rate made the domestic economy more chaotic. Under pressure, the governor of the Bank of Australia Jack Staff resigned. On March 11, the Australian Ministry of Finance urgently appointed a new central bank governor, and immediately announced the restoration of interest rates, from 35.249% to the initial 14.745%. On March 14, Australian Finance Minister Paul John resigned. The two tycoons were forced to resign one after another. The people chanted victory in the struggle, and the international capital, which was hiding behind and manipulating everything, laughed wildly. Australia is slaughtered! The harvest operation lasted until April 6th and finally ended. Detailed results were also summarized and reported to Xia Yu¡¯s family office by each company, and Huo Jianning was responsible for further summarization. And on this day, Xia Yu is accompanying Elena to rest at home. Elena came to Xiangjiang on April 2. Xia Yu plans to finish her marriage this year. In terms of her feelings, Xia Yu has never deliberately hidden from Elena, and Elena has long accepted the status quo. "Elena, I plan to become a Maldivian citizen this month. Let''s all join me." Hugging Elena, Xia Yu looked at her tenderly and said softly. The Maldives is now controlled by Xia Yu. As long as Xia Yu wants to hold a flourishing wedding without covering up, this country that recognizes multiple nationalities and allows polygamy by law is Xia Yu''s best choice. Elena nodded obediently: "Well, I''ll listen to your arrangements, but I think you have to see my father." "I''ve told him before, he was a little angry at the time, although he seemed to want to drive later." Xia Yu couldn¡¯t help showing a helpless smile when he heard the words. He had no choice but to go through this stage. Who told him to want someone¡¯s baby girl? And when the time comes, he will have to invite Duke Carter Howard to come in person, so he must go there first. "Now you know that you are under pressure?" Elena saw Xia Yu¡¯s pressure and suddenly teased him playfully. Xia Yu scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "As long as I can marry you, I can bear no matter how much pressure I am." ¡­¡­ After a while with Elena, he received a report from someone that Huo Jianning had something to report, and Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to come in. "Chairman, this is the result reported by Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Fund and Bright Fund. I have already integrated it here. Please have a look." "Okay, give it to me, you go to work." "Okay, Chairman, then I will withdraw first." After watching Huo Jianning go, Xia Yu picked up the materials he reported, opened it in front of Elena, and said to her: "Elena, let¡¯s take a look. Although I have been in Xiangjiang for the past few months, There are a lot of things." Elena looked curiously with Xia Yu. He knew Xia Yu''s Bright Fund very well, but she did not know that the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund belonged to Xia Yu. First of all, in terms of Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund. These two funds do not involve physical companies. They only have money in their eyes, and the profits they make are all cash. Bridge Water Fund, made a total of 8.94 billion U.S. dollars, of which 7.56 billion U.S. dollars in the Australian foreign exchange market, 940 million U.S. dollars in the stock market, and 410 million U.S. dollars in the bond market. Tiger funds earned a total of 9.17 billion U.S. dollars, including 7.62 billion U.S. dollars in the Australian foreign exchange market, 680 million U.S. dollars in the stock market, and 870 million U.S. dollars in the bond market. The two major funds together made a net profit of 18.11 billion US dollars! On the side of Bright Fund, it is not only making money, but also hunting down entities. All the money made by ?? is also invested in bargaining. In shorting the Australian stock market, Bright Fund made a profit of 8.63 billion Australian dollars. In shorting the Australian foreign exchange market, Bright Fund exchanged the Australian dollars in the Australian branches of its various companies into US dollars, and then exchanged them back to Australian dollars after the Australian dollar exchange rate plummeted. In addition to the money lent to the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund, the funds raised were up to 12.41 billion Australian dollars. After some tossing, it became 18.68 billion Australian dollars and a net profit of 4.47 billion Australian dollars. So in the Australian financial market, Bright Fund made 13.1 billion Australian dollars. It¡¯s just that the Bright Fund is very low-key. No one noticed that the Bright Fund has made profits that are not inferior to those of the Tiger Fund and the Bridgewater Fund! This profit of 13.1 billion Australian dollars was all invested in bargain hunting, and even this is far from enough. For this reason, the Bright Fund continuously invested US dollars to convert into Australian dollars to bargain hunting. Although the Sydney consortium has not all been annexed, most of the core companies have been eaten, and some of the remaining companies have also infiltrated. The original four major families of the Sydney consortium can only survive. The Australian Insurance Group, another financial core of the Sydney Consortium, was acquired 75.4% of the equity at a cost of 728 million Australian dollars. A sugar company that occupies 75% of the Australian market, Queensland Sugar Company was acquired 85.7% of the equity at a cost of 614 million Australian dollars. The New Zealand Sugar Company, the second largest sugar company in the sugar market, was wholly acquired at a cost of A$148 million. The two sugar companies together account for 90% of the sugar market in Australia and New Zealand. Australia¡¯s largest comprehensive logistics group, Tolling, delisted due to extremely serious losses and was wholly acquired. It only cost 418 million Australian dollars, but it still had to bear all the company¡¯s debts. Because of the acquisition of Toll, the 55.7% equity of Wheelock Shipping in Toll¡¯s hands was naturally acquired. The media core of the Sydney Consortium, Fairfax Group, was also acquired by the Bright Fund with a 72.9% stake at a cost of 756 million Australian dollars. The four major media giants in Australia, founded in 1902, currently control more than 23% of Australia¡¯s newspapers, including the Evening Sun, The Australian, The Daily Mirror (Australia), and The Daily Telegraph, the Adelaide News, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Canberra Times, the Financial Review and The Times, etc., and also operate television and radio stations. This media giant also operates newspapers in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and New Zealand. Carter Holt, one of the four giants in the Australian paper and packaging industry, was acquired 69.9% of the equity at a cost of 598 million Australian dollars. Lion King Group, Australia¡¯s second largest beer and tobacco market, was acquired 80.9% of the shares at a cost of A$1.48 billion. Large retail and real estate company, Westfield Group, was acquired 67.8% of the equity at a cost of A$1.17 billion. The companies that have also been acquired under the Sydney Consortium include: 100% of the Australian Chemical Company, 68.4% of the Clyde Industry Company, 100% of the Australian Joan Leshater Company, 88.2% of the Australian Tobemark Company, and Buchanan A 91.5% stake in Bolle Hall Coal Mine Company, 100% stake in Monte Gunson Mining Company, 86.1% stake in Gove Bauxite Company, 75% stake in Pibara Iron Ore Company, and 89.4% stake in Australia Northern Mining Company. 8.99 billion Australian dollars. Companies other than the Sydney consortium have also been bought by the Bright Fund. For example, St. George¡¯s Bank, the fifth largest bank in the banking sector, acquired 62.4% of the equity at a cost of A$1.87 billion. The Australian Origin Energy Company, which is mainly engaged in natural gas exploration and production, power generation and energy retailing, was acquired by bargain hunting for a 68.2% stake at a cost of A$1.47 billion. The world''s four major blood product giants , formerly CSL Co., Ltd., a Commonwealth Serum Room established in 1916, was wholly acquired at a cost of A$1.85 billion. Xinong Group, a large western Australia group, just went public last year. Its business involves retail, home improvement, coal mining, insurance and other broad fields. It has acquired a 54.2% stake at a cost of 2.54 billion Australian dollars. Fox Metal Group, Australia¡¯s third largest mining company, was acquired by a 50.3% stake at a cost of A$1.44 billion. There is also Australia¡¯s largest and also the world¡¯s largest agro-pastoral company Kidman, which was wholly acquired due to a financial break, at a cost of only 370 million Australian dollars. Kidman owns 1.3% of Australia¡¯s land and 2.5% of the ranching area, which is equivalent to the Zhejiang Province of the mainland. The company has 11 ranches across Australia¡¯s Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory. . All operations together cost a total of 24.442 billion Australian dollars. According to the plan of the Bright Fund, after taking over these companies, it will further expand according to the situation and expand through mergers and acquisitions. After all, in at least one year, Australia''s financial market will not be able to slow down, and it will happen to be a dip . (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1366: Hongsu Great Change Chapter 1366 Hong Su''s Great Change "Shocked, this Tuesday morning, Wheelock Shipping Company submitted a voluntary delisting application to the HeungKong Stock Exchange and the HeungKong Securities and Exchange Commission..." "Following the payment of the 11.5 million Hong Kong dollar fine on March 27, Wheelock Shipping has once again undergone tremendous changes..." ¡­¡­ Wednesday, April 10th. Xia Yu drank tea leisurely while reading the newspaper. There is still an inexplicable smile on his mouth. Yes, the privatization of Wheelock Shipping Company is his handwriting, but there is no report in the media, and no Chinese in Hong Kong know about it. After all, the subject of delisting and privatization is Tolling Australia. The reason why Toll was asked to come forward, Xia Yu also had many considerations. The most direct one is to save delisting costs. The harm caused by financial fraud of Wheelock Shipping Company is extremely far-reaching. If Xia Yu does not interfere more, the stock price of Wheelock Shipping Company will not come out in a few years. In the past March, Wheelock¡¯s share price was very depressed. At its lowest, its market value fell to HK$4.22 billion, which was less than 1.5 times the company¡¯s net assets. Because of Toll''s extremely high shareholding ratio in Wheelock Shipping, no institution is willing to speculate on this stock, and the trading volume is naturally stagnant. However, if companies with the aura of Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Consortium dared to come forward and receive shares, the stocks in the backwater pool will definitely break out again. This is the appeal and influence of the Jiuding Consortium. Xia Yu didn''t want to show that it was too ugly, so the price of showing up was an extra one or two billion Hong Kong dollars. Although his money was a lot, it was not caused by a strong wind, so it should not be wasted. It would be better to let Toll privatize, with the lowest cost, and it won¡¯t attract people''s imagination. Secondly, Toll needs Wheelock Shipping to complement its international business territory. Toll is already its own company anyway, and it is the best choice for it to completely annex Wheelock Shipping. Furthermore, it involves deeper considerations. His prestige in Xiangjiang is already in the sky. I don''t know how many people call him the King of Xiangjiang. Some things are too late. Even if you can''t hide it from everyone in the future, you have to do superficial work. He killed three of the four major British consortia that originally ruled Xiangjiang, and he also cleaned up the Kadoorie family. Now if Wheelock was completely swallowed by him, it would be too much. There are many benefits for Toll to annex. This company is Australian, and the Bright Fund behind Toll is a British capital magnate. If Xia Yu lets the Jiuding Consortium and Wheelock Shipping Company work together, it seems to the outside world It is a strong alliance, and Wheelock Shipping will return better and safer than living directly under the Jiuding Consortium. Anyway, the money is in his hands, and there is no difference in essence. The big deal is to buy some shares to do superficial work in the future. In the next half month, Wheelock Shipping Company repurchased all shares at a price of HK$3 per share. This price is higher than the lowest stock price in March, and it is not black on the surface. For investors, the stocks they hold can be solved. In the entire delisting and privatization process, Toll spent a total of 1,915,98 million Hong Kong dollars. With the arrival of Wheelock Shipping, the other five listed companies on the Hong Kong stock market have also all acquired. Although the five companies have not been privatized, they have completed the holding. Wheelock Shipping Company holds 27.8% of United Dockyard Company, 38.2% of Real Estate Trust Company, 42.7% of Lane Crawford Retail Company, 44.5% of Commonwealth Real Estate Company, and 27.9% of Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company. The Jiuding Consortium holds 33.4% of these five companies in private. So in fact, for these five companies, the shareholding ratios are United Dock Company 61.2%, Real Estate Trust Company 71.6%, Lane Crawford Retail Company 76.1%, Federal Real Estate Company 77.9%, and Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company 61.3%. Three of the companies have achieved absolute holdings, and the other two are still slightly behind. Considering that the United Dockyard Company and the Xiangjiang Undersea Tunnel Company both have a strong strategic complement to his business map. Xia Yu simply gave instructions to increase his shareholding in these two companies by 6% each, crossing the absolute control line. At this level, his Jiuding consortium has been deeply **** with Xiangjiang. Under special circumstances, he will not easily privatize the company again, and will even continue to take out some non-core companies to go public in the future. Promote the development of Hong Kong''s financial industry. ¡­¡­ At the beginning of 1985, it was a watershed for major changes in the world. In the past March, the sight of capital was attracted by Australia in the southern hemisphere, but almost all the attention of the political arena was focused on the northern hemisphere, the largest league in the world. On March 10, Konstantin Chernenko of Hongsu died of illness, and it was only 13 months before he took over. On the second day, with the support of Andre and others, the famous Gorbachev was elected as the new leader of the Red Soviet Union at the Hongsu Extraordinary Plenary Meeting. Hongsu started a phased reshuffle inside. European and American countries are doing their best to find out the inside story of Hongsu, and Xia Yu is naturally paying attention, but he did not let Luo Wang take drastic measures. He is not stupid enough to go to Hongsu''s site to provoke KGB in this sensitive period. He just learns the situation through the media. More than a month has passed. Finally, on April 23, an extremely important event happened again in Hongsu. On this day, in Moscow of the Red Soviet Union, Gorbachev, who took office for more than a month, completed the transfer of power and finally presided over the first Central Plenary Session. At the meeting, Gorbachev made a report on "Convening the Twenty-seventh Congress of the Soviet Union* and the Tasks of Preparing and Holding the Congress" focused on the problems existing in the Red Soviet Union , And pointed out the overall stagnation trend of Hongsu from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, analyzed the "obstacle mechanism" affecting the development of Hongsu, and put forward the "strategic conception of accelerating the country''s social and economic development" and the task of comprehensive reform . Hongsu¡¯s democratization and market-oriented reforms have finally announced to the world the beginning! This meeting was highly praised by the media of European and American countries, and European and American countries gradually breathed a sigh of relief. Su Hong chose to reform, which means that Hongsu chose to ease relations with the West and other countries, and its foreign policy will also change. The competitiveness of Hongsu and the United States eases, and the global tension will naturally ease. For Xia Yu, he has finally reached the right time to make arrangements for Hongsu. So he said nothing, summoned his uncle, Ma Qianjun, with a big wave of his hand, once again allocated 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to Luo Wang as the funds for Luo Wang''s aggressive march into Hongsu. After ??, Xia Yu provided US$200 million in funding to Blackwater International in the United States and issued instructions to Su Hong¡¯s layout. After completing the layout, Xia Yu took Elena¡¯s private jet Tulip to London... (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1367: Sir Carters Blessing Chapter 1367 Sir Carter¡¯s Blessing "Woo..." With bursts of breaking air, the huge Tulip cut through the sky and landed at London Heathrow International Airport. It took another hour to tow and queue at the airport before the plane took off again. About half an hour later, the plane landed at Coventry Airport. Not long after, Xia Yu and Elena were surrounded by a group of dozens of bodyguards out of the airport. There were a dozen bullet-proof black Rolls Royce waiting outside the airport. After getting on the bus, the spectacular convoy drove away from Coventry Airport and the destination was Warwick Castle. This old castle, which is comparable to Windsor Castle, bought in 1982, has been almost three years now, and Xia Yu doesn¡¯t know what it looks like. The management and repairs of the castle are all taken care of by special personnel, and Elena will take care of it. Xia Yu doesn¡¯t have to bother. He just heard Elena say that Warwick Castle in Warwickshire and Block Castle in Glasgow, Scotland, together, require investment of more than one million pounds each year in repairs and salaries. In the original castle there were dozens of security guards, plus this time Xia Yu brought them, there were as many as 70 people, each with a gun license and legally carrying weapons. In the basement of Warwick Castle, there is a small ammunition depot, which stores various firearms. It is not 97 years later. The British Parliament has not passed a law prohibiting private guns. Coupled with Xia Yu¡¯s influence in the UK, the complicated procedures for holding a gun could not be simpler here, so he is legal here. Holding a gun. The top big families in the UK almost all have the ability to protect themselves. The atmosphere of life in the castle is indeed different, with unique tranquility and peace. Tonight, Xia Yu and Elena hugged and fell asleep after tossing around ten o''clock. The next day, Xia Yu brought gifts and drove to Castle Howard in Norfolk. At more than eleven in the morning, he finally entered Castle Howard, where he saw Duke Carter Howard and Henry and his son. "My dear daughter, welcome home!" "Mr. Xia, long time no see." "Sister, welcome back." "Sir Carter, Henry, long time no see." After some warm and enthusiastic greetings, the four of them walked to the castle and sat down in the living room. The table in the living room is filled with fresh fruits of all kinds, as well as all kinds of snacks. "You are welcome, these fruits and snacks taste very good." "Ok." "Mr. Xia, take a closer look, you have not been to the UK for more than two years." Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu who was sitting next to Elena, his eyes a little complicated, and said with emotion. Xia Yu was also a little emotional. He scanned the decorations in the castle. The last time he lived in Castle Howard was nearly three years ago. He never thought that the past three years would have passed in a flash. Thinking about it at first glance now, it feels like yesterday. "Yeah, it''s been a long time indeed." "But I should come more frequently in the future." After sighing with emotion, Xia Yu said with a smile. "It¡¯s better to come a few times more. Don¡¯t you know, your reputation is widely circulated in the upper echelons of the UK. Many people have entrusted me to find a chance to get closer to you." "Your business in the UK is getting bigger and bigger. You should need more friends, which will be more beneficial to the future." Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu with a smile on his face. ¡­¡­ Relaxed small talk lasted for more than half an hour, until it was interrupted by a good lunch. After lunch, Xia Yu went to a room under the leadership of Elena to rest. After three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Duke Carter Howard invited Xia Yu to have afternoon tea. He immediately took out something from the room and went to the garden with Elena. In the garden with fresh air, drinking Ceylon tea and tasting exquisite British desserts, not to mention more relaxing. "Father, I have joined another nationality." At this moment, Elena suddenly said to her father. Xia Yu gently put down the teacup, he had to talk about business. Duke Carter Howard was slightly taken aback, and asked softly: "Which country is it?" "Maldives, an archipelago country in the Indian Ocean." Elena finished, a flash of memory flashed in the eyes of Duke Carter Howard, and then he nodded slightly: "I know this country was a British colony before. During World War II, the Maldives was still a supply depot for the aircraft carrier formation." "I remember, this country is still a country that supports polygamy." After speaking, Duke Carter Howard looked at his daughter Elena, and finally fixed his gaze on Xia Yu. Xia Yu''s eyes were calm, and Duke Carter Howard looked at each other, and actively said: "Sir Carter, you are right, the Maldives is such a country." "I have made all-round investments in the Maldives last year, and now the will of this country has changed." Duke Carter Howard smiled and shook his head, his eyes returned to his daughter Elena, his expression became very serious, and he said straightforwardly: "So Elena, my favorite daughter, did you really make the decision? " "Yes, I have spent six years thinking about this problem, I have completely figured it out." "This is the love I want." "Just like Dad you used to be, I don''t care about other things, I hope to get your blessing." Elena answered Dad''s question very firmly. "Sir Carter, please trust me, in this life, I will take care of Elena." "I hope you can agree to Elena to marry me." Xia Yu also said suddenly, looking firmly at Duke Carter Howard. One minute¡­¡­ Two minutes... three minutes¡­¡­ Duke Carter Howard¡¯s eyes kept walking around Elena and Xia Yu, but he did not speak. Naturally, Xia Yu and Elena did not speak, and still maintained a firm and sincere attitude. Duke Carter Howard suddenly looked into the distance and said to himself, ¡°Actually, I often think back whether I missed the initial period of intervention. I am still not sure about this question.¡± "And what is most beyond my control is your growth rate, Mr. Xia." "too fast!" "It¡¯s almost time that I suspected that you are a child of God. You have spent a few years standing on the top of the United Kingdom and at the same time standing on the top of the world." "So that I can no longer interfere with you, so I choose to let Elena choose by herself. I believe in my daughter." Speaking of this, Duke Carter Howard paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xia Yu and Elena again. "Elena, my dear daughter, your life belongs to you. I will not interfere with your life. Since you have made a choice, the only thing Dad can do is wish you happiness." When Carter Howard said this, his eyes were a little moist, and he looked at his daughter dozingly. He knew that from the moment he promised, his precious daughter would not be able to stay with him much time. "Dad, thank you." "I love you!" Elena fell into her father¡¯s arms with tears, and Duke Carter Howard looked at his daughter with complex expressions, and gently stroked her hair. "Sir Carter, thank you for your blessing!" After Xia Yu quietly waited for Elena to get up again, he bowed deeply to Duke Carter Howard and sincerely thanked him. "Tell Elena well, if you let me know that you make her sad, I won¡¯t be polite." Duke Carter Howard pretended to be ferocious and said to Xia Yu. This is the first time that Xia Yu has seen such a stern expression on Duke Carter Howard¡¯s face over the years. "Please rest assured, I won''t be willing to make Elena sad." Xia Yu''s expression sincerely promised. "Okay, I believe you." "Let¡¯s sit down and try these small snacks. They taste great." Speak Duke Carter Howard takes the lead and sits down. At this time, Xia Yu took out a beautiful gift box and handed it to Duke Carter Howard with both hands: "Sir Carter, according to our custom, this is my betrothal gift to you to represent my sincerity." "Dad, there is this ceremony. Although it is simplified, it represents the importance of the man." Elena said to her father with a sweet smile. She knew that Xia Yu would give her father a betrothal gift, but she didn''t know what it was. She asked once, but Xia Yu didn''t say it, so she didn''t ask again. "Is that so?" "Then I will accept it." Duke Carter Howard smiled and accepted the gift, but did not open it immediately. After drinking the afternoon tea, Xia Yu, accompanied by Elena, took a leisurely stroll in the garden, enjoying the beauty of nature. While Duke Carter Howard returned to the castle, he curiously opened the betrothal gift under Xia Yu. It¡¯s just that when he saw what was inside, his expression instantly became serious. (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1368: 100 billion U.S. dollars of open interest guaranteed "The most powerful hero of rebirth (! "Unexpectedly, he would actually give this. Is this the way the Easterners make a betrothal gift?" Duke Carter Howard could hardly think. Xia Yu''s betrothal gift is really too heavy! It is an equity transfer agreement and a certificate of equity. 2.5% of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group! The Howard family holds 20% of the equity in the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. This asset has become one of the family''s core assets! The current Rolls-Royce Motor Group is the overlord of the British automotive industry and has long been firmly established as one of the world''s top ten auto companies. In Europe, only the Volkswagen Group in West Germany can compete head-on with the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. French and Italian cars must stand aside. Although the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is not listed now. But in terms of valuation, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is worth at least 20 billion U.S. dollars! Therefore, his current 2.5% equity is worth at least US$500 million! The transfer price in the contract is one pound. This price is just a situation. This attitude of Xia Yu made Duke Carter Howard very pleased. What he fancy is not the value of this equity, but the moral behind Xia Yu''s offer. At least it can be proved from the side that Xia Yu has a deep affection for Elena, his precious daughter will not marry the wrong person, and he did not look away. "But I am not short of this equity..." With a smile, Duke Carter Howard put it away, put it back in the gift box, and put it in his safe. "It seems that I have to get a good understanding of the customs of oriental marriages in order to make a better decision." "I can''t be underestimated..." ¡­ That night, Xia Yu obviously felt that Duke Carter Howard''s attitude towards him was much closer than in the afternoon, and he had the intention of treating him as a family member, and his words and deeds were more casual. He didn''t know if it was because Duke Carter Howard figured it out in the afternoon, or there was a betrothal gift to express his heart, or both. But he didn''t bother to think about it. For him, Elena''s more frequent and happy smile is the result he needs most. After staying in Castle Howard for another day, Xia Yu spent another two days in the UK and sent invitations to some extremely important friends. For example, Prince Philip, or Wu Hongyi. Anyway, fewer people can receive his invitation. As for how many people Duke Carter Howard wants to call, that is a matter of his own discretion. After that, Elena stayed in the UK, Xia Yu took Elena¡¯s private jet Tulip back to Xiangjiang, and the plane flew back to London. During this time, Xia Yu is destined to be busy for marriage. Li Qian is okay. Only one elder brother is a relative. There is no such trouble. The bride price prepared by Xia Yu is an 18% stake in Jiuding Book Group, which is worth 500 million US dollars. But for Ho, Sumitomo Kumiko and Sandi, Xia Yu had to go there in person to show his sincerity. The offer to He Jia is the shares of two companies that Xia Yu had previously acquired, namely the shares of Harrah¡¯s Entertainment in the United States and William Hill in the United Kingdom. They are 10% and 7% respectively. These two companies are world gambling giants. The former was established in 1937 and the latter was established in 1934. The acquisition of these two shares cost a total of US$500 million. The dowry gift to the Sumitomo family is a copper mine worth US$500 million. There are too many minerals. A copper mine worth US$500 million cannot be simpler. The gift to the Mellon family is an equity integrated in the various investment companies of Polaris Capital. Gulf Oil has a 4.85% equity and is valued at 500 million U.S. dollars. In this regard, Xia Yu is a bowl of water and smooth. Although in the process of his rise, the Howard family has played the most help, without the help of the Howard family, he would not have been able to lay such a large foundation in the UK so smoothly. Compared with the Howard family, the He family, the Sumitomo family and the Mellon family are far behind. But in this life, including the past, present and future, he is still young and the future is full of uncertainty. These families belong to the family, and the individual belongs to the individual. Xia Yu has a steelyard in his heart. How much help these families can give him in the future is the future. At least after Sumitomo Kumiko, Sandi and others marry him, the first identity is his family, and the second identity is the clan members of their respective families. In this way, he expressed his non-discriminatory attitude. After successfully hiring one by one and sending invitations to my friends, I returned to Xiangjiang again, which was already May 15th. There will be more than one month left before his wedding. Preparing for the wedding is very cumbersome, but fortunately, at Xia Yu''s current class, there is no shortage of resources and manpower, and he does not feel too tired, but enjoys it. Even, he still has time to deal with important matters. For example, urge the Bright Fund to compete strongly for the privatization of shares of British Aerospace Corporation and British Gas. For example, the North Star Capital Company was instructed to compete with General Motors, to compete for the Hughes Aircraft Company, and to set foot in the US defense and military industries. Of course, there is one more important thing. That is oil! ¡­ "Chairman, this is the collected details of the international oil market." This afternoon, when Xia Yu was resting at home, Huo Jianning came to report to his work. "Jianning, sit down and say." "Okay, thank you Chairman." "What is the latest international oil price?" "Chairman, the highest international crude oil price today is US$27.85 a barrel." "In the past month, international crude oil prices have fluctuated in the range of US$27-28 a barrel, which is relatively stable." After Xia Yu asked, Huo Jianning immediately replied. "What about the entire market analysis?" Xia Yu smiled slightly, then asked again, and after speaking, he stripped an inspiration and threw it into his mouth. "The average global oil consumption last month was 57.82 million barrels per day, and the oil economy is still relatively weak." "Of this consumption, oil consumption in developed countries and regions accounted for 75.25%, reaching 43.51 million barrels per day, while developing countries accounted for 24.75%." "Research and analysis shows that high oil prices have led to a decline in oil consumption in developed countries and regions, and the market is still sluggish..." "It''s just that high oil prices have weakened OPEC''s oil market pricing power. Countries such as Europe and the United States are already expanding the output of domestic and Latin American oil fields. There are great opinions within OPEC, especially in Saudi Arabia..." As Huo Jianning talked, the smile on Xia Yu''s face increased. It seems that although his influence is great, it still has no influence on the general situation of the global economy. This is just right! "By the way, Jianning, how many gas stations does Pacific Petroleum have now?" Huo Jianning continued to report: "Chairman, in the past six months, according to your will, Pacific Petroleum has been continuously acquiring gas stations. Now the total number of gas stations of directly affiliated companies has reached 3420, of which Europe is the most densely populated. There are 2,270, 1026 in North America and 124 in Asia." "In Asia, Hong Kong has 36 companies. We acquired the gas stations of Chevron, Texaco and Mobile Petroleum, and then built 4 new gas stations. At present, Hong Kong has 4 gas stations, including Pacific Petroleum. Brand, Pacific Oil occupies half of the retail market." "We have 12 gas stations in Omen, and we have only one brand." "The remaining 76 gas stations are distributed in various countries in Southeast Asia." "Not bad!" Xia Yu said with satisfaction. "Jianning, you can write it down." "In the next year, strive to expand the number of gas stations to 10,000. This is the goal of the retail market." "Secondly, all investment companies are ordered to close their long oil futures positions, and UU reading will short international crude oil futures in all directions." "With leverage, the position must be at least 100 billion U.S. dollars. The specific guarantee share will be allocated by you according to the strength of each company. Each investment company can play freely on its own basis. It must be before July. Fully completed." "Just these requirements, do you have anything to ask?" After Huo Jianning finished memorizing it, he read what he had recorded, shook his head and said, "No, I have memorized it clearly." "That''s it, you go to make arrangements right away, and give me a detailed result after completion." "Yes!" v3 Chapter 1369: Powerful Chapter 1369 Powerful (Second, ask for monthly pass) In the past few years, in order to allow the rapid economic development of Hong Kong, the public security issues in Hong Kong have become particularly conspicuous. However, in this respect, it belongs to the scope of government functions. Xia Yu has more to advise the Hong Kong government to do it. And Su Xingjian did not disappoint Xia Yu. In the past few years, the Hong Kong government has become more and more strict with the public security issues in Hong Kong, and the financial support for the police force has also been tumbling upwards. At the same time, Xia Yu will also ask some companies to donate to the police department. This has made the Xiangjiang Police Department a qualitative leap in terms of its personnel and equipment. Along with this, the living and development environment of Xiangjiang has been greatly optimized. You control how many people there are in the underground society, but they can''t get rid of their identity as thieves. In the face of the police, the underground forces are naturally at a disadvantage, unless they dare to rebel! But it is clear that the underground forces dare not rebel at all. That can only be continuously attacked by the police department, and the strength is constantly reduced. After entering June, Hong Kong¡¯s security measures have gone up to another level. Especially the Xiangjiang Police Department, formulated a one-and-a-half month-long crackdown plan and strengthened patrols in all directions, which caused panic among the underground people in Xiangjiang. This is a gift from Su Xingjian to Xia Yu. Although Xia Yu¡¯s wedding was not held in Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang is the most important transit point, and Su Xingjian must ensure that Xiangjiang is as safe as possible. In fact, all the heads of the underground forces in Xiangjiang have all received warnings, restricting their subordinates not to make trouble in the near future, all major events have been cancelled, and even major transactions have changed places. There is no way. For the leaders of the underground forces in Xiangjiang, the police department has to act in accordance with the law anyway. Some veterans are not afraid of the police department. They can always get people to commit crimes and have the money to go on bail. But I really wanted to provoke Xia Yu, the uncrowned king, and touched his brow. I don''t know how he died. Therefore, after entering June, Hong Kong citizens found that the quality of life seems to have been improved again. Compared with Xiangjiang, Maldives has stricter control. Maldives has directly suspended the development of the tourism industry, and has the most stringent measures for the entry of foreigners in history. The Maldives International Airport is patrolled 24 hours a day. At the same time, Xia Yu¡¯s Aegis security has also mobilized more than 1,000 people to station in the Maldives to cooperate with the Maldivian army to maintain social order. In the dark, the snare has carried out all-round monitoring of the Maldives early, and at the same time, it has cleared away dangerous elements hidden in the dark. Starting from June 15th, private jets have gradually arrived in Xiangjiang, and the occupancy rates of major luxury hotels in Xiangjiang have begun to rise. ... June 23, 1985. This day is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, the year of Yichou, the month of Renwu, and the day of Guisi. It is suitable to get married, obtain a certificate, settle in bed, seek an heir, marry, consecrate... On this day, early in the morning, guests from the Marco Polo six-star hotel on Paradise Island in the Maldives began to come out. This six-star hotel was built by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. starting in August last year. More than this hotel, many islands in the Maldives, especially Xia Yu¡¯s private island, have been fully developed. Just for the wedding held today! Sixty or seventy RIVA small and medium luxury yachts were parked on the piers around Paradise Island and other islands where guests lived, which were also produced at full capacity in the past eight months. The most dazzling is undoubtedly the ultra-large luxury yacht Serenity parked in the waters outside Serenity Island. This super-large luxury yacht is 155 meters long and is the largest yacht in the world with extremely high configuration. It has a large dynamic space including floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor swimming pool, two aprons and spiral staircases, and a double-layer beach. Bathing area, independent bar, two small cinemas, a gym and a garage on the top floor! In addition, the Serenity yacht has 24 passenger rooms, which can accommodate 48 guests. The yacht is also equipped with 35 crew members, and 70 crew members when fully booked. The world¡¯s largest luxury yacht, with a cost of 38 million U.S. dollars, has exceeded the bare-board cost of Xia Yu¡¯s Fengshen Boeing 747-300 aircraft! After attending the wedding, the guests can choose to dive in the sea alone, or take a small and medium yacht to hang out on the sea, and they can also have a party on this super luxury yacht. Time gradually passed, and the guests gradually gathered on the tranquil island. Before the wedding, the guests gathered in twos and threes to chat together, and the topics were all about Xia Yu¡¯s wedding. No way. Before coming, many people didn''t know which daughter Xia Yu married. When they really got here, they were shocked by the truth they learned. is more of one aspect, and more importantly, the identity of these women! ... The official representatives sent by the mainland are two people, namely Liu Zhihe from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and Wang Ping from the Xinhua News Agency. After presenting the gifts and conveying the blessings from the above to Xia Yu, the two did not delay Xia Yu''s time and gathered together to observe the guests. "President Wang, Mr. Xia has always acted eclectically, which is also shocking!" "The Howard family in the UK, the Sumitomo family in the island country, and the Mellon family in the United States, which are the top giants in the world, are powerful." "The Duke¡¯s daughter, the granddaughter of the Sumitomo family patriarch, and the daughter of the Mellon family patriarch, any of these can be married to the sky, and now they are all willing to marry Xia Yu together." "Compared with these three wealthy ladies, the other two have much worse backgrounds." Liu Zhihe said with emotion. Wang Ping nodded in agreement: ¡°From this, it can be seen that Mr. Xia is indeed not simple. It is the most powerful banner of my Chinese in the world. The strength is definitely not worse than these old-fashioned families.¡± "There is a big boss like Mr. Xia, it is my blessing to China!" "I just don''t know what Mr. Xia thinks about the next generation." Speaking of this, Wang Ping''s heart can''t help but worry. Looking at it, there are people with pure Chinese blood, and there is only Li Qian alone, and this one is also the one with the least identity background... "President Wang, let''s not talk about this. With Mr. Xia''s ability, he must have a good idea." "Today, let''s take a look and just give a blessing." Liu Zhihe quickly whispered. Wang Ping also realized that he had made a mistake, and he hurriedly shut up. ... "Mr. Xia, President Reagan asked me to offer you the most sincere blessings and wish you and your lover happiness forever!" ... "Mr. Xia, President Mitterrand asked me to apologize to you for his inability to come to your wedding in person. Let me give you my sincere blessings on his behalf and wish you and your lover happiness forever!" ... "Mr. Xia, Prime Minister Margaret entrusted me..." ... This time, Xia Yu did not invite politicians from various countries, just to avoid trouble. After all, no matter who goes out, he is always invigorating, at least two or three hundred people. Moreover, the identities of politicians are sensitive and can easily be over-interpreted. Xia Yu did not want to promote her wedding in the public domain. This can be seen from the prohibition of any media from participating in the wedding and the prohibition of taking pictures nearby. Of course, these people can¡¯t get in touch with each other, but UU reading might as well think of ways to express their feelings. Not only prepared a generous gift, but also let the closest person to represent it. Such as Reagan¡¯s son, Mitterrand¡¯s son, Bush¡¯s son Bush Jr. and so on. The guests who arrived learned that the leaders of three of the five gangsters sent their confidantes to offer their blessings, and they almost posted "shock +999" on their foreheads. It was also at this moment that those friends of Xia Yu, as well as some allies of the Southeast Asian Financial Group and the Yanhuang Association, deeply realized Xia Yu¡¯s monstrous power and awe for Xia Yu, and at the same time increased his determination to hold his thighs tight. . True¡¤Boss max! PS: Happy May Day everyone! By the way, ask for a monthly pass! Thank you for lonely Yanyun 10000, Lin bald head 7000, fake 2 tael 1500, Yi Shura 1500, Angang 500, I am a stone 500, small match 500 for selling girls, 100 for 17yoo, 100 for Qingyun Pingduan, 100 for Yun Changqin, 100 for eating melon Thank you! (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1370: Floating profit of 0 billion U.S. dollars Chapter 1370 Floating surplus of tens of billions of dollars (first ask for monthly pass) There is usually one marriage witness. In a few cases, there are two persons who are invited by both the man and the woman to do the marriage certificate. However, Xia Yu¡¯s wedding was very special, so he made the decision to invite the witnesses, and he did not seek the opinions of others. is his master Li Chunqiu, and the old iron Bao Yugang. When the time reaches eleven o''clock, the wedding officially begins. This wedding is destined to be shocking. The elders of each party came to the scene to offer blessings to the new couple. The camera fixed the wedding eternally at a certain moment, enough to make Xia Yu and his lover reminiscence for a lifetime. After the wedding, the guests left one after another without taking up Xia Yu''s time too much during this period. Even the parents of Elena, Sandy and others also left. With their departure, the details of Xia Yu¡¯s marriage quickly spread wildly in the upper realm of the world. Rockefeller, Morgan, Rohill, Wittgenstein, Hohenzollern, Habsburg and other families, regardless of whether Xia Yu was prioritized or not. But after Xia Yu got married this time, all of them listed Xia Yu as the world''s first category of influence. Everyone knows that a huge family has risen strongly in the East! The influence of this family extends throughout the Western world! Even in the East, there is no weak influence, which is unmatched by many families. Of course, this news is circulated in the world, but the general public does not know at all. His own media empire did not publicize Xia Yu¡¯s wedding in this flourishing age. People who are qualified to know the news dare not report it. The media who are not qualified to know naturally I don''t know. And what about Xia Yu? After getting married, he took his wife and started a one-month honeymoon trip. The endless pastures in Western Australia, the magical and magnificent Yellowstone National Park in the United States, the picturesque Alps in Europe, the magnificent and majestic Great Wall in China and other places have left the footprints and laughter of Xia Yu and his lovers. This honeymoon, Xia Yu was really immersed in the play, and even the situation of the family office did not take the initiative to intervene. Of course, Huo Jianning did not take the initiative to report, which means that no major incident happened, which is a good thing. Until the end of July, the honeymoon trip ended, Xia Yu returned to Xiangjiang. As for his wife, they all live in Xia Mansion. Xia Yuguang covers an area as high as 88,000 feet. Even though most of it is non-residential areas such as garden lawns, swimming pools, rockery fountains, and large garages, residential areas alone are enough to accommodate everyone. It¡¯s just that the room has been adjusted before. Xia Yu and his lovers all live on the second floor, while parents and younger siblings all moved to the first floor. It was less than a week after Xia Yu returned to Xiangjiang. A big event happened in Xia Yu''s home. Li Qian''s period has not come for eight days. After examination, Li Qian is pregnant! After the news was confirmed, Xia¡¯s father and Xia¡¯s mother were too happy to find North. Naturally, Xia Yu was also very happy. The medical department at the family office immediately formulated the most scientific plan for fetal care. And Li Qian has naturally become the envy of others, and what follows is that Xia Yu''s legs will tremble for a while. If he hadn''t practiced Tai Chi to a certain level, he would have a good health regimen, and he would really not be able to stand the toss. However, after he returned to Xiangjiang, his master Li Chunqiu gave him a lot of health care prescriptions. After all, he did not lose his vitality and did not lose the energy to deal with business affairs. ¡­¡­ On this day, Xia Yu came to the family office resident and met Huo Jianning, who was already able to handle affairs in an orderly manner. "Jianning, I haven''t dealt with anything for more than a month. Thank you for your hard work!" Xia Yu patted Huo Jianning on the shoulder and said with satisfaction. " Chairman Xie praised this. This is what I should do. In fact, all the details have been done by the following companies and departments. My work is not too tiring." Huo Jianning said modestly. "Haha..." "Let''s go, go to my office, and show me the important things for more than a month." After speaking, Xia Yu took the lead and walked to his office. I haven¡¯t come for more than a month, his office is still spotless, and all the documents and objects are neatly arranged. While Huo Jianning went to get the materials, Xia Yu filled the watering can with some interest, and personally watered the bonsai in his office. I have to say that getting married will transform a man. After getting married, the string in Xia Yu''s heart no longer collapsed so tightly, he cared more about life, and loved life a little bit more. In a short while. Huo Jianning knocked on the door and walked in, still holding a pile of materials in his hand. "Chairman, this is a summary of important matters over the past month. They are all here. Please have a look!" "Okay, let me put it on my desk, I''ll see it later, you go ahead, I''m looking for you if I have something to do." "Okay, then Chairman, I will withdraw first." Not long after coming in, Huo Jianning exited again, leaving Xia Yu alone in the room. After pouring the last pot of orchids, Xia Yu put down the watering can and went to wash his hands again. Then he came to his desk and sat down unhurriedly and read the report for more than a month. The most important thing is undoubtedly the things he took time to ask Huo Jianning to arrange things before getting married. For the layout of the international crude oil market! Before July, all long oil futures within the consortium were cleared, and even the stocks of oil companies bought by financial investment were also cleared. And his plan to short international crude oil futures has also been strongly implemented. Not only did he exceed the 100 billion U.S. dollars (not principal) requirement, the amount also doubled. Bright Fund, Salomon Brothers, Polaris Capital, Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Fund, the investment departments of major banks and insurance companies, etc., used different levers and invested 15.6 billion US dollars in principal. US$223.5 billion entered the market to short international crude oil futures. After all, according to statistics, the consortium occupies nearly one-fifth of the total short positions, which can be said to be the largest short position! Although the short selling is relatively scattered and deliberately hidden, without holding high the flag to short, it still has a certain impact on the international crude oil price. The average cost price of entering the market is 27.62 US dollars a barrel. After entering July, the fluctuation of international crude oil prices has become sharp, and many major financial giants in the world have already learned some news. It was July 15th. Saudi King Fahd announced the expansion of oil production capacity, selling oil at low prices, encouraging consumers to consume oil again, and stimulating global industrial and economic growth. The words are very nice, but other oil-producing countries except OPEC all shouted that the wolf is coming, and they were very nervous. OPEC is the heart of Sima Zhao-everyone knows it! OPEC intends to dump at a low price to abandon the policy of limiting production and quotation, in order to compete for a reasonable market share at a low price. The cost of oil extraction in the Middle East is the lowest. OPEC has made it clear that it wants to suppress oil prices, small profits but quick turnover, forcing other high-cost oil-producing countries to reduce production. As soon as the policy came out, the global international crude oil prices fell accordingly. As of yesterday, international crude oil prices have fallen to US$25.58 a barrel. So just before the various companies were shorting oil futures, the floating profit of the consortium reached 16.51 billion U.S. dollars! And the prospects for interests are still very bright. This is more profitable than shorting the Canadian financial market and the Australian financial market! PS: The second one is later. It is estimated that it will be two o''clock. Let¡¯s rest early and watch it tomorrow morning. In addition, ask for a monthly ticket! Thank you Lin Baltou 16000, pngray 10000, All Terrain Commando 1000, Angang 500, Old Friends and Hai 100 for the rewards, thank you! (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1371: Military! aviation! Chapter 1371 Military Industry! aviation! (Second, ask for monthly pass) In addition to the perfect implementation of the short oil futures layout, there are also results in other aspects. The British side. The Bright Fund competed for an 8% stake in British Gas, the largest natural gas energy company, at a cost of 448 million pounds. There is also a 12.5% ??stake in British Aerospace, costing 825 million pounds. British Aerospace Corporation is the largest aerospace company and the largest missile manufacturing company in the UK. It is mainly engaged in the development and production of military aircraft, civil aircraft, missiles, satellites, electronic equipment, instruments and test equipment, and related weapon systems. It has 19 domestic There are 4 aircraft factories and 4 missile and spacecraft factories. almost monopolized the development and production of British military aircraft, spacecraft and tactical missiles. In the civil field, it has also participated in the development and production of Airbus A300, A310, A320 and other models in cooperation with Western Europe. The last time, in 1981, the British government sold 51.57% of British Aerospace Corporation to private individuals, but that time, the Bright Fund did not get a share. Four years later, the strength of the Bright Fund has changed drastically, so in this privatization, it directly captured nearly a quarter of the equity sold this time! And the United States. Polaris Capital repelled General Motors strongly and used the gold dollar offensive to directly acquire Hughes Aircraft Company at a cost of US$5.2 billion! Hughes Aircraft Company was founded by Howard Hughes, the prototype of "Iron Man" in 1932. Under the control of Howard Hughes, the company was simply opened up. The world¡¯s first ruby ??laser was created by the Hughes Laboratory. The Hughes Aircraft Company produced the world¡¯s first synchronous communication satellite in 1963 and the world¡¯s first synchronous weather satellite in 1966. That year, the Hughes Aircraft Company produced and launched the "Surveyor" probe after the Red Soviet Union to achieve a controlled soft landing on the moon. In addition to being the top three satellite suppliers in the United States, Hughes Aircraft Company is also one of the main missile suppliers of the US Air Force. The fourth-generation air-to-air missiles of the US Air Force are also being developed by Hughes Aircraft Company. Unfortunately, the helicopter business of Hughes Aircraft Company was acquired by MacDonald Douglas for $500 million in 1984, and the Longbow Apache gunship was gone. But in reverse, if the Hughes Helicopter Division has not been sold, then there will only be more companies that want to snap up the Hughes Aircraft Company this time, and it is hard to say whether Polaris Capital can win it. The opportunity to have this opportunity is also thanks to Howard Hughes''s death in 1976, leaving all the company''s assets to his own Howard Hughes Medical Institute, because he has no children. This time, the Howard Hughes Institute of Medical Research is to establish a more flexible biomedical research foundation, so it plans to sell the Hughes Aircraft Company into capital to facilitate the operation of the foundation and devote all of its attention to medical research. Among them, I do not want to be involved in the operating company. So, this opportunity is indeed extremely rare. If it weren''t for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute wanted to sell it, no one else would take it away. On the Canadian side. Bombardier Group, with the support of the Canadian government, acquired the De Havilland Company (Canadian branch), which once belonged to Boeing, in Ontario, at a cost of US$450 million. De Havilland Canada was originally a branch established by British aircraft designer De Havilland in 1928, but it was later acquired by the Boeing Company of the United States, and finally sold by the Boeing Company. De Havilland¡¯s most well-known airliner is the Trident airliner, but it lost to the Boeing 727 that year, and only 117 were produced in the end, of which the mainland has also bought many Trident airliners. Although De Havilland¡¯s passenger aircraft manufacturing technology is inferior to Boeing, and it has been quite obsolete over the years, the foundation still remains. Bombardier Group acquired De Havilland of Canada, and combined with the technology of the original Aviation Industry Corporation of Canada, it will have the strength to manufacture commercial airliners. Whether it can compete head-on with Boeing depends on how to continue to strengthen it. Researched and developed. But anyhow, with the completion of the acquisition of De Havilland, it has embarked on the road to hegemony. The former Bombardier Group has developed very well, and Xia Yu also knows the rise of Bombardier Group¡¯s road to mergers and acquisitions. The most critical are two companies, Learjet in Arizona, USA, and Short Brothers Aircraft in Northern Ireland, UK. . Complete the merger of these two companies, then business jets, regional passenger jets, aircraft structures and engineering services will be fully covered. ... There are also some key news, blockbuster news that can affect the industry structure. For example, the global semiconductor industry is a sunrise industry. At the end of June, the American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Trade Representative, stating that ¡°the island country¡¯s semiconductor industry has made abnormal equipment investments under the closed domestic market structure of the island country, and exported them at too low a price, destroying American semiconductors. The order of the industry". The American Semiconductor Industry Association requires that the share of American products in the island¡¯s semiconductor market be increased, and measures should be taken to prevent low-price dumping. This news is very eye-catching on a global scale, and it has caused violent turmoil within the island country. Because at the end of June, island countries accounted for more than 70% of the global semiconductor memory market, and the United States was far behind. In 1975, the semiconductor memory market, island countries had just started, and the United States accounted for almost 100% of the global market share. In 1985, just ten years later, the island nation¡¯s share of the semiconductor memory market reached 70%, while the US only had about 25%. Even in the entire semiconductor market, island-state enterprises surpassed the United States for the first time and became the world''s number one! The US semiconductor industry is completely unable to compete in front of the competition. The island country is proud of this. Who knew that such a big crisis suddenly appeared. The reason why island countries are nervous is because the American Semiconductor Industry Association has concocted a very hot point this time-the weakening of the US semiconductor industry will bring major risks to national security. The logic is simple: because super weapon technology is inseparable from super electronic technology, and super electronic technology is inseparable from the latest semiconductor technology. If the US semiconductor technology lags behind, the US military will be forced to use foreign products, including island products, in key electronic components. Foreign sources of goods are unreliable. They will be out of stock in the United States during the war, and will also supply supplies to the US rival Hongsu during the non-war period. So, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com The United States allows the island nations to dominate the semiconductor chip field, which is tantamount to sacrificing national security... If an industry is striving for hegemony with the United States and the Soviet Union and has something to do with the national security of the United States, things are naturally big. ... At the end, Xia Yu noticed a news. This news came from the island country. The island country¡¯s deputy prime minister and Minister of Finance Takejoto has already conducted a secret study on the appreciation of the yen. The pressure on this matter comes from the United States. Xia Yu instantly understood. This is the prelude to the "Plaza Accord"! He kept this in mind, and he also had a clear plan in his mind. Unexpectedly, he didn''t need to give his deliberate instructions. The consortium had already noticed this matter in advance and reported it, which made him particularly gratified. PS: The second one is here, ask for monthly pass and recommended ticket! Thank you Lin Guangtou for the 4500 starting currency reward, thank you! (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1372: Profits from investing in countries Chapter 1372 Benefits of investing in countries According to the trend of the previous life, on September 22, 1985, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, the island countries, West Germany, France, and the United Kingdom held a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York, and decided that the governments of the five countries would jointly intervene in foreign exchange. The market caused the US dollar to fall in an orderly manner against the major currencies in order to resolve the huge US trade deficit. This time, Xia Yu can''t guarantee whether there will be any changes. But if he wants to interfere with the signing of the agreement, it is really easy. Apart from West Germany, there are four remaining countries. He can influence any country. It only takes a time, and that¡¯s nothing. Even if you don¡¯t interfere. It is now early August, and there are still more than forty days left for him to operate. Although this time is a bit tight, it is enough! The most important thing now is how to use this opportunity to maximize the benefits, not only the financial benefits, but also the benefits of the consortium, and the premise must be as safe as possible. This has to mention the specific circumstances of the "Plaza Accord". The reason for the emergence of the "Plaza Agreement" is, in the final analysis, that the U.S. trade problems continue to deteriorate, with a foreign trade deficit of up to 150 billion U.S. dollars. This is the first time since 1914 that the United States has changed from a creditor country to a net debtor country. Of course, the reason why the U.S. must devalue the U.S. dollar is because although the U.S. trade problems continue to deteriorate, the overall economic situation has improved. In the past four years, Reagan¡¯s first term has turned the tide of economic development in the United States and laid a solid foundation. The four years can also be said to be a transitional period, that is, from a period of low productivity growth to a period of high productivity growth. Transition from a period of high inflation and high interest rates to a period of much lower inflation and interest rates. Transition from a period when the economy "has many problems" to a period full of opportunities. Of course, the reason why Britain, France, West Germany and the island countries are willing to go to the United States to sign the "Plaza Agreement" and interfere in the exchange rate of the US dollar is also because they think it is profitable. In 1980-1984, when Greenspan was the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the United States was constantly raising interest rates. Short-term interest rates rose to 5% from the previous close to zero cost. High interest rates attracted a large amount of overseas capital into the United States, causing the U.S. dollar to soar. From the end of 1979 to the end of 1984, the U.S. dollar exchange rate rose by nearly 60%. The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to major industrial countries exceeded the level reached before the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. So letting the dollar depreciate this time is to decompress the dollar. The result of decompression is to hope that the production cost of American products will be relatively reduced, stimulate the export of American goods, and ease the trade deficit. As for the United Kingdom, France, West Germany and the island countries, a large amount of funds flowing out of the United States and entering their countries will also stimulate the domestic economy, such as investment, although the appreciation of the domestic currency relative to the US dollar will lead to the export of domestic goods. Affected, but as long as it is controlled within a certain range, it is still competitive. There are risks, but the benefits are also great. This is the fundamental reason why the other four countries are willing to sign the "Plaza Agreement." The depreciation of the U.S. dollar is affirmative, and the gross national product of countries calculated in U.S. dollars will soar this year and next year. Some countries may even increase as much as 40%. So for Xia Yu¡¯s business empire, his huge dollar funds must find a way to avoid the crisis of devaluation, and use this opportunity to make a leap in his wealth. Once the U.S. dollar depreciates, major currencies such as the Japanese Yen, West Mark, Franc, Italian Lira, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and Spanish Peseta will appreciate to varying degrees. As for the magnitude of appreciation, according to the situation in the previous life, from the signing of the "Plaza Agreement" in September 1985, it continued until 1987. Except for the Japanese yen, the largest increase was in the West German Mark, which was as high as 70.5%. Then the French franc has appreciated by 50.8%, the Italian lira has appreciated by 46.7%, the British pound has appreciated by 37.2%, and the Canadian dollar has appreciated by nearly 11%... The largest appreciation is undoubtedly the yen. After losing control, the exchange rate of the yen against the dollar rose by nearly 86.1%! So it is definitely a wise choice to do more foreign exchange in these countries, but it is still on the surface, with the least technical content, and no benefit maximization. The best way is to operate in conjunction with the stock markets of various countries. For example, in the United Kingdom, the British stock market continued to prosper after Margaret came to power. The FTSE index is now at more than 800 points. In the long run, it is expected that the FTSE index will rise to more than 1,400 points until 1987. Will dive, then the increase will reach 75%! So if you invest 100 million U.S. dollars to convert into British pounds, and then invest in the stock market, and wait until the British stock market crashes before exiting and converting to U.S. dollars, then 100 million U.S. dollars will become 240 million U.S. dollars. The actual asset increase is then 140%! And West Germany? Before March last year, before the West German stock market reached 800 points, the Bright Fund invested in the West German stock market on a large scale. Now the West German stock market has almost doubled. According to Xia Yu''s judgment, the highest point is around 1600 points. From now to most of 1987, it will remain stable, and the rise or fall will not be too large. Until the end of 1987, it will even plummet back to the level before the rise last year. So now, if 100 million U.S. dollars are exchanged for SDM, and then replaced with U.S. dollars before the stock market crashes at the end of 1987, it will only be 170 million U.S. dollars. The increase is only 70%! is only half of investing in the UK! Only from the exchange rate, in fact, the appreciation of the West German mark is almost twice that of the British pound! Of course, the most terrifying thing is the island country. The yen will appreciate by 86.1%, while the Nikkei 225 stock index will rise by as much as 38% in the same period. So investing in island countries, the actual increase in assets can reach a height of 156.7%, which is higher than that of the United Kingdom! The most important thing is that you don¡¯t have to worry about investing in island countries, like the United Kingdom, when the stock market plummeted in 1987, which led to a sharp decline in assets. Because in the crazy year of 1988, the Nikkei 225 stock index could even double that of 1987, reaching 33,000 points! So I really want to last until 1988, and now invest 100 million US dollars in it, it can become 480 million US dollars! This rate of return means that you can immediately set up multiple provincial stock markets, and you don¡¯t need to invest in island countries for so long. Compared with these, the profit of short international crude oil futures is the same. However, the reason why Xia Yu still wants to short international crude oil futures is to consider that no matter how profitable the investment in these countries is, the market has a capacity after all. It¡¯s too late! What''s more, he has to allocate capital to invest and use other people''s money to make more money, so the amount of funds he can use is huge, and one or two markets can''t accommodate it at all. There is a crash in the market and the market is changed. Uncontrollable risks are like investing in the Taiwanese stock market. Although entering the market now and exiting in the second half of 1987, the net investment income can reach 380%. But if he really needs to invest tens of billions of dollars to get in, he can''t even run, and the market can easily be collapsed. The super high rate of return is naturally the middle of the moon in the mirror. So his eyes are no longer limited to the interests of one place and one corner, but have to look at the overall situation and maximize the overall interests while controlling risks. This is the pattern that an excellent consortium controller should have! How to invest, you really have to formulate a detailed investment plan. Which countries should invest, when should they enter the market, when should they leave the market, what is the investment quota, how to use the profits obtained, how to make the second investment appreciation of the profits earned, and how to use this series of investments to make the consortium¡¯s original value Some companies have been effectively expanded, and it is time to avoid the risks and opportunities of manufacturing caused by the depreciation of the dollar... All of this requires a detailed action plan and response measures... PS: There is only one update today. Today, I went out and came to my father-in-law¡¯s house. There are still three months left. We must communicate the major events of life well. (End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1373: A dowry of several billion dollars Chapter 1373 A dowry of billions of dollars (first ask for a monthly pass) After the decision, Xia Yu called and called Huo Jianning over. "Jianning, sit down and say." "I have read the materials, I have some ideas, and I need you to call the corresponding personnel to discuss together." "Okay, Chairman!" As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Huo Jianning was ready to record. Seeing his appearance, Xia Yu smiled openly and slowly said: "The depreciation of the dollar is an established general trend, and it is estimated that it will officially begin at the end of next month, so from now on, we need to formulate a complete action plan. " "The goal of the action is to go long in the pound and yen in all aspects, and to go long in the UK and island stock markets at the same time..." "We have to consider the impact of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar on our entities outside the United States, such as the major manufacturing companies and fishing companies in island countries, how should they respond to the crisis..." "According to the aspects I said, you can mobilize people to form a special working group, and then I will personally preside over..." "Chairman, I remembered it, do you have any more?" Huo Jianning remembered it, looked up at Xia Yu, and asked aloud. "That''s all for this, but there is one more thing you need to arrange for someone to do." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. After finishing speaking, Xia Yu took out what he had brought and put it on the table. "These things are the dowry given by my father-in-law when I get married. They are all companies or company equity, and the total value is more than three billion US dollars." Huo Jianning did not speak, but looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for the following. "I need you to let someone set up a separate offshore fund. The name is the Xia Family Harmony Fund. The fund is divided into six parts. I hold 50% of the shares. The remaining 50% is divided equally between Li Qian and Elena. " "After the establishment of the Harmony Fund, 3 billion US dollars were allocated from the Galaxy Fund as the fund¡¯s original capital, and then the Harmony Fund would then lend the 3 billion US dollars to the Galaxy Fund. The fixed loan interest rate was 10%, and the annual interest All is used for dividends." "Do you understand what I mean?" After Xia Yu finished speaking, Huo Jianning immediately nodded to express his understanding. "I understand." Doesn¡¯t this mean that the future dividends of the Harmony Fund will be the pocket money of all the parents? According to this interest rate, it is equivalent to 30 million US dollars in pocket money per person per year. Chairman This is a bowl of water, and Huo Jianning''s admiration rose in his heart. But he still has one question. He looked at the bag on the desktop and asked Xia Yu: ¡°Chairman, how do you deal with the equity of these companies?¡± Xia Yu opened the bag, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to Huo Jianning: ¡°The equity situation and the handling method have been clearly written on this, and you can do it according to what I wrote.¡± Huo Jianning hurriedly took it with both hands, lowered his head and glanced at it and said respectfully: "Okay." "Go, finish these things as soon as possible, especially the previous things, the time is urgent, call for people as soon as possible." "Yes!" "Chairman, then I will go first." After finishing speaking, Huo Jianning picked up the things on the desktop and slowly exited Xia Yu''s office. Xia Yu got up and walked around in the office, interacting with each other, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked into the distance. Actually, Xia Yu also thought about how to deal with the dowry of the old men for several days before coming up with this solution. This is the fairest way. After all, they are all members of the same family. Naturally, they have to bear the risks and benefits together. The reason for not giving the dowry given by the father-in-law to each person and sharing it with Xia Yu, Xia Yu considered that although the value of these dowries are similar now, their future potential is different. Assets that appreciate quickly at that time will make a person''s name more wealth, while some people''s name will have less. Elena, Sandi and others are personally helpless. After all, they are very open to money, but everyone will become. Especially after having children, as mothers, they will consider their children. At this time, there are hidden dangers. That¡¯s why Xia Yu directly took over all these assets at the very beginning, replaced them with cash, and then started to receive interest every year. Then the five people received the same money from here, and how much they could save was their own business. Speaking of which, every dowry given by the old man has taken care of it, mostly taking into account the actual situation of Xia Yu. Just like Xia Yu gave something in consideration of the situation of each family when he gave the bride price. Sir Carter Howard gave a 9.4% stake in the Dutch National Life Insurance Company, which is worth up to 700 million US dollars! In addition to value, getting a seat on the board of this large European insurance company can also allow Xia Yu¡¯s influence to enter the Netherlands. It can be seen that Sir Carter Howard is really attentive. Because the gambling king is relatively weak, the things he gives are more complicated, but the value is as high as 600 million US dollars. Such as 100% equity in Longmen Water Supply Co., Ltd., 100% equity in Longmen Power Co., Ltd., and 73.4% equity in Malaysia Sime Darby Group. The first two companies are the sole monopolies of Longmen Water and Electricity respectively, while Malaysia Senso Group is one of the multinational companies with a long history in Malaysia. Sime Darby Group has four subsidiaries, namely Sime Darby Plantation Company, a large palm oil industry chain company, and Sime Darby Property Company, which has tens of thousands of acres of land in Malaysia, and belongs to Caterpillar''s third largest in the world. The agent''s Xinchang Machinery Company, and Sime Darby Automobile Sales Company, a leading automobile dealership group throughout Asia. As far as Xia Yu knows, except for a small part of the shares of these companies owned by the He family, the vast majority of them are acquired by the gambler''s own contacts. Although Xia Yu doesn''t know how the gambling king got these companies, the process will never be easy. He gave a bride price worth 500 million U.S. dollars, and the gambling king returned a dowry of 600 million U.S. dollars. Considering the actual situation of the He family, the gambling king was indeed generous once. The dowry from the Sumitomo family is also very impressive. gives a 12.8% stake in the island country¡¯s large oil retailer Idemitsu Kosan Group, valued at more than US$600 million. As far as Xia Yu knows, this company was founded in 1911 and has five major sub-groups, namely Idemitsu Petroleum Development, Idemitsu Transportation, Idemitsu Kosan Petroleum Retail, Idemitsu Petrochemical and Apollo Services, and Idemitsu Kosan Retail alone. There are nearly 6,000 gas stations in the island country, and the lubricants produced by Idemitsu Petrochemical have maintained the first place in the island country for more than ten years. Of course, Idemitsu Kosan Group does not belong to the Sumitomo Consortium. Almost all major consortia hold shares, but they do not stand on any side. They are relatively independent large companies. The Sumitomo family regards the company¡¯s equity as a dowry. It is estimated that Xia Yu is aggressively entering the oil field. The dowry given by the Mellon family is a 12.7% stake in Anheuser-Busch, which is worth more than six billion US dollars. Anheuser-Busch is not an unknown small company. Founded in 1852, it owns the world¡¯s largest beer brewing company and the second largest aluminum beer can manufacturer in the United States, Budweiser and Michelangelo. , Busch and other beer brands. Since 1957, beer production has been ranked first in the United States. At its peak, it once occupied 48% of the market share ~ www.novelhall.com ~ In later generations, this company has In 2008, it was acquired by Belgian InBev for US$52 billion. Of course, Xia Yu also knows that this company is not owned by the Mellon consortium, but the Mellon family bought it from other places as a dowry. But in any case, this dowry did satisfy him, so much so that he was moved by Anheuser-Busch. As for Li Qian¡¯s dowry, she is indeed in a special situation. Ma Qianjun has also been working for Xia Yu with all his heart, and has not been full of private pockets, so she cannot be like other families. The equity of Jiuding Book Publishing Group given by Xia Yu, Ma Qianjun returned all as a dowry. In addition, there are nearly two tons of gold he accidentally obtained in Indonesia in his early years, which is now worth tens of millions of dollars.

(End of this chapter) v3 Chapter 1374: The abacus for the appreciation of the yen Huo Jianning quickly convened a think tank here. After the list was reviewed by Xia Yu, a meeting was held as soon as possible. After three days of intense and meticulous research, the final action plan was released. In Europe, the main body is the Bright Fund, and the basic market is still in the UK. There is no need to move domestic assets in the UK, and as much as possible to mobilize funds to invest in the stock market, at the same time reverse short the US dollar, and then invest in the stock market after returning to the British pound. Companies in Canada and Australia, on the premise of ensuring stability, also allocate funds in this way. Countries outside of Europe and the United Kingdom, while ensuring the safety of the company, maximized their mortgage loans and obtained loans by repaying the U.S. dollars in US dollars. The loan funds were invested in the British, French, and Italian stock markets. In the second half of 1987, Xia Yu would put all the money out and enter the island country¡¯s financial market where the plate had doubled and doubled at that time. Of course, Xia Yu didn¡¯t say this for the time being, he just secretly remembered this. With. In the United States, the main body is Polaris Capital, and there are also companies that have no apparent relationship, such as Bridgewater Fund and Tiger Fund. Because there are many banks involved, it is necessary to ensure safe funds and not all-or-none. Therefore, the bank''s funds first invest in gold to maintain its value, and then other funds enter the island country, some of which are only long in Japanese yen, and some are long in the island country''s stock market. Those wholly-owned holding companies under Polaris Capital directly diverted most of the liquidity. For those non-wholly-owned companies, they will **** the blood of other shareholders and lend the liquidity to the financial companies under them at normal interest, and the financial companies will invest in the general direction. The loss of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar will be borne by them. Our side borrows chickens to lay eggs. On the side of the Jiuding Consortium, they acted more resolutely. Because the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed exchange rate of 6.1, most of the assets of the Jiuding Consortium are in Hong Kong dollars. The situation is the same as that of Polaris Capital''s US dollar. It is not as secure as the British pound assets of Bright Fund. Therefore, Xia Yu decided that in the next few years, the companies under the Jiuding Consortium will change the way of development and continue to expand, but will rely more on funds from banks outside the consortium. As for the funds of these companies, they are lent as much as possible to the major financial companies under the Jiuding Consortium, and these financial companies invest the funds into the island country¡¯s stock market. For companies in island countries, it¡¯s even simpler. If you can lend, you can borrow. After all, the interest rate is too low. If you can lend to US dollars, you can lend to US dollars. If you can¡¯t lend to US dollars, you can lend to yen. among. Major banks and Sunshine Credit Co., Ltd. aggressively increased deposit interest rates to absorb deposits, and invested funds in the stock market on the premise of ensuring the safety of the company. Those real estate companies have increased their land acquisition efforts, using leverage to acquire land and using funds from other banks for development. As for Xia Yu''s Galaxy Fund, it goes without saying that tens of billions of dollars are all preparing to enter the island country. ¡­ The action plan is very detailed and the content is very long. But in summary it is a kernel. Use your own money to invest in appreciation, and use other people''s money to invest and expand. After the action plan was formulated, the family office immediately cooperated with Xia Yu to dispatch various first-tier companies around the world. Except for the family office level, George Berkeley, Peter Lynch, Julian Robertson and others do not know the overall plan, but only know the action plan in their respective areas. As for the lower-level companies, the orders received are also fragmented tasks after segmentation. On the surface, they are completely normal management decisions, and the possibility of information leakage is reduced indefinitely. Soon, various companies began to move, and a huge flow of funds began to flow through the world''s largest banking system. And when Xia Yu acted. With the passage of time, the high-level political circles of the island countries have made a clear decision on the depreciation of the US dollar after repeated research and analysis. This afternoon. After the end of the departmental meeting, the island country¡¯s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Takejoe Takenobi took the results of the meeting to the Prime Minister¡¯s Office and reported to Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. "Takegami-kun, you are here, please sit down!" "Hi!" After bowing slightly, Takejoe Nobori sat down opposite Nakasone Yasuhiro. The secretary of the prime minister didn''t need to order, and immediately made tea on the sidelines. "Nakasone-kun, the Ministry of Finance just concluded the meeting. This time, everyone''s opinions are more unified." Takekami immediately reported with a deep voice to Nakasone Yasuhiro. The latter''s eyes condensed, and he straightened up: "Oh? Tell me about the specific situation." Tokutake Takesami immediately explained the research situation of the meeting: "The opinion of the Ministry of Finance is to actively cater to the depreciation policy of the U.S. dollar and allow the yen to appreciate." "First of all, the U.S. trade deficit has reached the highest point in history, and its trade with my country accounts for one-third. Whether we agree or not, the U.S. will devalue the U.S. dollar. If we actively cooperate, then we will automatically restrict exports. Concession to the United States, and if we do not cooperate, the United States is likely to impose trade sanctions." "Since this year, major U.S. companies and associations have submitted more than 300 sanctions plans to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives!" "And we must rely on the United States politically and militarily. If the United States collapses due to its high fiscal deficit and trade deficit, then our backing is gone. So it is politically correct to properly meet the requirements of the U.S. government." "Second, we are already an industrial power, but we lack various basic resources. Oil is settled in U.S. dollars. The appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar will help us purchase natural resources and strengthen our industrial manufacturing industry chain. It is conducive to our domestic enterprises to go abroad and expand through mergers and acquisitions worldwide." "Third, although the appreciation of the yen against the US dollar will damage export-oriented enterprises, according to the analysis of the think tank, as long as the appreciation of the yen is controlled between 10%-20%, it will not affect our large domestic export companies. Big." ¡°Especially for large-scale manufacturing companies that consume large amounts of natural resources, the appreciation of the yen will reduce the cost of industrial raw materials. Even if the yen appreciates by 20% against the US dollar, my country¡¯s products are still price-competitive.¡± "The reason why it is recommended that the appreciation of the yen be controlled at 10%-20% is to take into account those small manufacturing companies that rely less on imported industrial raw materials." "Fourth, our island country is already the second largest economic power in the world. A powerful island country needs a strong Japanese yen to support it. We can take advantage of this opportunity to push the yen¡¯s position in international transactions as much as possible. Challenge the dominance of the dollar, but it can impact the position of the pound sterling." "The above are all the opinions of the Ministry of Finance." After listening, Yasuhiro Nakasone nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very good, the Ministry of Finance and Economics'' opinions are similar to mine." "Our country''s economy has reached a bottleneck." "In 1978, my country''s gross national product exceeded one trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for 11.8% of the world''s gross national product." "But in the past six years, our gross national product has only reached 132 million U.S. dollars, and the proportion of the world''s gross national product has dropped to 10.83%." "This has our own factors, but the bigger factor is because the United States has continuously restricted us over the years. UU Reading " "Compared with the United States, in this time, the proportion has increased from 27.4% to 33.1%." "This time the appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar is an excellent opportunity. As long as our domestic enterprises go global, the GDP will not represent the true strength of our country!" "The U.S. can print U.S. dollars to harvest the world, and we can also use the influence of U.S. dollars to issue Japanese yen to buy foreign assets." Takekami Tobi smiled and echoed: "Nakasone-kun, what you said is too reasonable." "Haha..." Yasuhiro Nakasone couldn''t help laughing openly. "Takegami-kun, you still need to bother with this matter, communicate with the other four countries as soon as possible, and make sure you don''t make mistakes." "This is a great opportunity for the rise of my large island nation!" "Hi!" Takejoyoshi solemnly replied. PS: The big guys vote for monthly votes! v3 Chapter 1375: OOCL asks for help (2 The deployment of the "Plaza Agreement" is being implemented in an orderly manner, and the burden on Xia Yu''s shoulders is much lighter. In normal days, besides keeping in good health and creating villains, he has become more relaxed at work. But on August 28, Dong Chenghui, the current owner of the Dong family, came to visit him. Dong Chenghui is one of the founders of the Southeast Asia Consortium. Of course, he is only a director of the Southeast Asia International Holding Company due to strength problems. "Chairman, I''m here to harass!" "Welcome, welcome, you can come and chat with me, I am glad that the sea is too late!" "Why are you still bringing gifts, what are you doing so politely?" "It''s nothing, just some fruits that I grow in the backyard, and I can buy them for hundreds of dollars outside." "Haha, the most important thing is your mind. The fruits you grow by yourself are hard to buy outside!" "Come in!" Xia Yu exchanged warm greetings with Dong Chenghui, took the fruits he had brought, and led him into the living room. After being seated one after another, the servants immediately made tea while Xia Yu opened the fruits brought by Dong Chenghui, which contained some longan, late-ripening lychees and mangoes. He took off a longan, peeled it and threw it in his mouth. After chewing a few times, he nodded and sighed: "Yes, the juice is full, sweet and delicious, delicious." Although he knew that Xia Yu was touted, Dong Chenghui still had a bright smile on his face. He jokingly said: "It seems that I have to sell the rest. '', the price is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a catty, I don''t know how much it can sell." Xia Yu laughed dumbly and said jokingly: "Why don''t we work together and put it in the auction house to speculate, and the profit will be divided into fifty-five?" Dong Chenghui immediately clapped his hands and said, "Wouldn''t the price be so high that every tree has to be sold for a million!" "Hahaha..." The two laughed one after another. At this moment, the servant made the tea, and Xia Yu made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Dong, please have tea. This tea is my treasure, and you are here today, otherwise I wouldn''t be willing to take it out. " "Oh? Then I have to taste it!" Having said that, Dong Chenghui took a deep breath, then took another sip, and exclaimed, "The fragrance is like orchids and the taste is like sweet rain, good tea! Good tea!" Then, he couldn''t help taking a few more mouthfuls. Xia Yu smiled and drank leisurely as he picked up his teacup. Drinking tea alone is comfortable, and two people drink tea in a mood. No matter how Dong Chenghui conceals it, Xia Yu can also see the sadness between his brows. bother you for something. Although the two are allies and friends, if nothing happens, Dong Chenghui will not visit them specially. If you guessed it right, it should be OOCL. Xia Yu put down the tea cup and asked, "Mr. Dong, I think you look worried, what''s the matter, are you encountering difficulties?" Dong Chenghui also put down his teacup, and finally stopped pretending. He looked worried and sighed for a long time. He said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, you are right. My Dong family is indeed in crisis. I''m here to ask you for help." "Don''t worry, speak slowly, I will definitely help with this!" Xia Yu said solemnly. Dong Chenghui looked grateful, and his tight heartstrings relaxed slightly. He slowly said: "Chairman, since I took over the family, my pressure has never been relieved in the past few years. I have also been struggling to use the profits of other companies in the family to support the development of the shipping company. I have been looking forward to the world. The downturn in the shipping industry can pass." "But after three years, the overall environment has not improved, and it has continued to deteriorate. This time, I really can''t hold it anymore." "Orient Overseas Shipping Co.¡¯s total debt is as high as 2.85 billion U.S. dollars, and there are 740 million U.S. dollars in debt due within one month. In addition, by the end of this year, there are 890 million U.S. dollars in debt due and another 270 million. The new tail payment in US dollars will be paid by December, and the rest will be due next year." "But even with the business provided by the consortium, the freight rate is too low and the ship depreciates so quickly that it is in a state of loss every month." "I... hey..." At the end, Dong Chenghui lowered his head, his face full of powerlessness. Since he was forced to take over as the head of the family in 1982, he has realized that it is not easy to be the head of the family. He has been tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall. However, the world shipping market is going down all the way. He continued to go down again, so that he was sinking deeper and deeper. Before the turnover was still possible, there was no news from the outside world. After joining the Southeast Asian consortium, due to the blessing of resources within the consortium, the business situation has improved, but there is also a limit. As the large debt is about to expire, his life will be It''s not easy. As for Dong Chenghui, Xia Yu understands him. He can be said to be a man of tenacity, but he has been tortured into this way under pressure, which shows how much suffering Dong Chenghui is in his heart. "Mr. Dong, in terms of debt, which bank did you borrow from?" Xia Yu thought for a while, and asked the most critical question. Dong Chenghui immediately said: "If it is a bank in Xiangjiang or Southeast Asia, it is possible to turn around." "But my loans are mainly from banks in island countries, including Fuji Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Mitsui Bank, Sun Kobe Bank, etc., because before, I placed orders with shipbuilding companies in island countries, and borrowed loans from island countries¡¯ shipbuilding companies. Interest rates are also lower, less than a quarter of that of Heung Kong Banking." ¡°Last year, the world¡¯s largest and the largest shipping company in the island country, Sanguang Steamship, had a debt of more than 4 billion U.S. dollars and suffered losses for consecutive years. As a result, it went bankrupt. Therefore, the island country¡¯s banking industry has seen the status quo of the shipping industry clearly and tightened the burden on shipping companies and shipbuilding companies. loan." "Once my loan expires, the island country''s bank will never re-lending to me. On the Hong Kong side, I asked many local and foreign banks, and they were very vague about new loans." According to his situation, it is really difficult to handle. If it is the old debts of Hong Kong''s local banks, they can still use contacts to convert the debts if they are not paid out. The banks will not be too eager to avoid bankruptcy and bankruptcy of the company. However, it is difficult to say if it is replaced by an island country bank. Their trust in Dong Chenghui is not as high as that of Xiangjiang''s bank, and they will not necessarily give them face. The most likely reason is to stop losses in time, and even if they can recover some assets. "Mr. Dong, according to the current situation, if Orient Overseas Shipping Co. applies for bankruptcy, all debts can be wiped out. I can also help you make a comeback. This is the best way for you." Xia Yu thought for a while and put forward what he thought was the best opinion for Dong Chenghui. Dong Chenghui smiled bitterly and said: "Chairman, I have considered this method. It is indeed the best method, but I can''t get through this hurdle in my heart." "Orient Overseas Shipping Co. has thousands of employees, many of whom have worked together with my father at that time. There are thousands of families behind this." "My company has too many bank debts. Once it files for bankruptcy, it will give priority to repaying bank debts. In recent years, the value of ships has shrunk severely, and the company''s stock price has shrunk severely, and its assets are not enough to repay bank debts." "So at that time, other debts, employees'' wages and pensions, placement fees, etc. will not be mentioned." "There are still a large number of shareholders who will lose their money." "I can deal with the banks of the island country, but I can''t bear them for their innocent compatriots..." After listening to Dong Chenghui''s words, Xia Yu showed a smile on his face, feeling greatly in his heart. At this time, I still stick to the bottom line in my heart. This sense of responsibility is commendable. That being the case, he had to help Dong Chenghui even more. "Boom...boom...boom..." Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, contemplating his eyebrows. Dong Chenghui also raised a heart, clenching his fists subconsciously. a long time¡­ Xia Yu looked at Dong Chenghui and said, "Mr. Dong, I have an idea." "Chairman, please speak!" Dong Chenghui leaned forward and said hurriedly. Xia Yu said slowly: ¡°As for the debt of the island country bank and the balance of the ship due, it is as high as 1.9 billion US dollars. This debt is too much. On the debt side, I will help Orient Overseas Shipping Company. The debt of US$740 million in one month is definitely not a problem." "And the current global shipping market, to be honest, my think tank''s analysis here is still not in the end. At least the freight rate will fall for another year. According to the current freight rate, it will have to fall by more than four tiers. Prices will also shrink further." "So I propose to clean up a part of the fleet now and return the funds to repay the bank loan." "Then only a part of the fleet is left, and the remaining part of the fleet is transferred at a low price and then leased back, so as to greatly reduce the company''s debt." "Wait until the shipping market bottoms out next year, then buy the fleet according to the actual situation and set sail again." "In addition, I think you must have taken the equity of Orient Overseas Shipping Co., Ltd. to mortgage the loan. The stock price must be very low now. I suggest you apply for delisting to facilitate the company''s strategic adjustment." Dong Chenghui was both moved and shocked, moved by Xia Yu''s willingness to lend a helping hand, and shocked by Xia Yu''s judgment that the shipping market still has so much room for decline. If it falls like this again, if OOCL maintains its status and survives this crisis, it will be difficult for it to survive next year. After all, there will be more than one billion US dollars in debt due next year. Thinking of this, Dong Chenghui couldn''t help sweating. No, really follow Xia Yu''s suggestion, and focus on stability. Over the past few years, the expectations have been disappointed again and again. He is completely uncertain about the trend of the global shipping market, and he prefers to trust Xia Yu''s analysis. "Chairman, then I will listen to your opinion, and I will clean up the ship when I go back." "You still need to extend a helping hand later. If you feel that the shipping market will end next year, please give me some advice." After speaking, Dong Chenghui stood up, and before Xia Yu stopped him, he bowed deeply to Xia Yu, with a very sincere attitude. Xia Yu shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "That''s for sure, we are allies after all, how could I not help?" "Thank you Chairman!" "By the way, Chairman, now there are some shareholders in our company who want to withdraw. Are you interested in taking over some equity? The transfer price should be very low." After Dong Chenghui thanked him again, he suddenly thought of something and immediately said to Xia Yu. Now Orient Overseas Shipping Company has reached a low point, but it has already had the opportunity to reverse the trend. Inviting Xia Yu to come in can be regarded as a feedback to Xia Yu. In the same way, the relationship with Xia Yu can be deepened. Wouldn''t it be better to add a layer of partner relationship to the relationship between allies? Furthermore, there is another huge benefit of inviting Xia Yu to come in, that is, it can stabilize the hearts of the company''s employees and shareholders, and play a role as a needle in the sea. As for whether it would threaten Dong''s rule over the company, he didn''t think about it. After all, if Xia Yu didn''t lend a hand, it would be hard to say whether Orient Overseas Shipping could keep it. "Well, you can help me ask about this. I can take as many people as I want to transfer." Xia Yu said with a smile, accepting Dong Chenghui''s wishes. "Okay, then I will deal with it as soon as I go back." Dong Chenghui said hurriedly "Well, about the bank, there will be a clear result the day after tomorrow at the latest, so don''t worry." Xia Yu once again gave Dong Chenghui a reassurance. "Thank you Chairman!" When the mountain in his heart was removed, Dong Chenghui was completely relieved. After drinking a few more cups of tea, chatting with Xia Yu for a while, he said goodbye. ¡­ After returning, Dong Chenghui immediately convened a high-level meeting to set a strategy for clearing the fleet, and at the same time applied to the exchange for delisting. In the evening, many shareholders learned the news, knowing that Orient Overseas Shipping Company had really reached the most critical moment. Dong Chenghui did not deliberately exaggerate the situation. He just let others choose. If he wanted to withdraw, he would take over all the equity in one effort and bet the company would be able to rise again. Early the next morning, bad news that Orient Overseas Shipping Company was about to clean up its fleet spread throughout the exchange. After the opening of the stock market, the share price of Orient Overseas Shipping Co. plummeted. Half an hour later, Orient Overseas Shipping Co. applied to the exchange for delisting, and at the same time issued an announcement that the company was willing to reclaim shareholders¡¯ equity and announced the reclaimed price, but the price was relatively low. The Xiangjiang Stock Exchange approved it immediately. UU Reading The entire capital market shook, and the stock prices of companies such as Guanghua Shipping and IMC Shipping, which were also in the vortex, plummeted further. On the third day, Jiuding Bank and HSBC Bank provided OOCL with US$500 million in standby credit. Until September 5, Orient Overseas Shipping Company¡¯s US$740 million debt was transferred from the Island Bank to Jiuding Bank and HSBC. At the same time, Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Industrial Group acquired a 38.8% stake in Orient Overseas Shipping Company at a cost of only 1.07 billion Hong Kong dollars. Not only that, the Southeast Asian Development Bank, the financial core of the Southeast Asian consortium, injected US$100 million into Orient Overseas Shipping Company and obtained a 22.1% stake. In addition, a meeting was held within the Southeast Asian consortium, and each member decided to transfer the shipping business to the Orient Overseas Shipping Company as much as possible to support it to tide over the difficulties. The Orient Overseas Shipping Company has also begun the process of cleaning up its fleet and returning funds. PS: Today, the two chapters are unified, good night everyone v3 Chapter 1376: A loophole in the foundation of the empire "Husband, you are back." "I want to give you a present!" This morning, as soon as Xia Yu returned home from the company, she saw Sandi approaching him with a smile, her hands still behind her back, as if she was hiding something. Xia Yu hugged Xiandi in his arms and said with a smile: "What kind of gift is it, so mysterious?" "look." Sandi gently struggled out of Xia Yu''s arms, put her hand on her back to the front, still holding something in her hand, looking at Xia Yu expectantly. Pregnancy tests! (Note: It was invented in 1956) A surprise smile appeared on Xia Yu''s face. After taking the pregnancy test stick and looking at it for a while, he couldn''t help laughing. "Sandy, did you find it this morning?" Xia Yu helped Xiandi to sit down on the sofa and asked happily. Seeing the appearance of her lover, Xiandi couldn''t restrain her joy. She tapped Zhenshou and said, "Hmm!" "Husband, Sandy measured it at ten o''clock in the morning, and I''ve been waiting for you to come back!" At this time, Sumitomo Kumiko walked down the stairs and said to Xia Yu with a light smile. "I wanted to call you, but I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn''t have the first time to tell you." Sandi leaned Zhenshou on Xia Yu''s shoulder and said softly, touching her abdomen subconsciously. There seemed to be a kind of light in the eyes. Xia Yu gently placed her hand on Sandi''s hand, carefully pressed against her abdomen, and said softly: "Xiandi, thank you, this is the biggest surprise I have received this month." "Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life." Xia Yu approached Sumitomo Kumiko and embraced him, and said affectionately to the two. Happy smiles appeared on the faces of the two women. After a while, Elena also came to the living room on the first floor from upstairs or from the garden, and the living room suddenly became lively. Sandy was actually the third pregnant woman. The second pregnant woman after Li Qian was Elena, who was found pregnant on August 29. In this regard, Xia Yu is naturally a bowl of water. He also hopes that his children can grow up together at the same age, so that the relationship between brothers and sisters will be better. Less than half a month after Sandi became pregnant, Ho and Sumitomo Kumiko also found out that they were pregnant during regular check-ups. After this, Xia Yu''s home was full of excitement. Of course, in terms of family status, Xia Yu has also successfully fallen to the lowest position in history. No matter how he is outside, he is also personally taking care of his wife. Even if there is a servant in the family, even if the early pregnancy does not affect the woman''s Normal activities. It can only be said that this is human nature. These days, Xia Yu smiled every day, and made no secret of his emotions, so much so that his subordinates were quietly discussing what a happy event the boss had encountered. However, on September 25th, Xia Yu''s good mood was destroyed by a piece of news. This news comes from Jiuding News Agency. On September 23, a malignant incident occurred in eastern Australia. A Chinese house was set on fire by a neighbor at night. All three of the family died. The official investigation determined that the neighbor man was mentally ill and was forcibly sent to a mental hospital. However, according to the investigation of Jiuding News Agency, the man was actually a fanatical supporter of the typical "White Australia Policy", and in the final analysis, he was a racist. Australia¡¯s ¡°White Australia Policy¡± was the first law ¡°Immigration Control Act¡± introduced by the Australian government in 1901. However, after constant struggle, it was not until 1978 that the Fereiser government¡¯s suspension of the immigration law finally ended. The policy of selecting immigration based on the country of birth was completely abolished. The "White Australia Policy" is only legally abolished, but if you want to eradicate it from the hearts of the people, unless the generation of Australians who have been severely poisoned by the "White Australia Policy" gradually withdraw, the new generation of Australians will become the mainstream of society, but this requires the least Eradicated for decades. And it must be guaranteed that this kind of similar thinking will not continue to emerge in the next few decades. just¡­ Xia Yu couldn''t help but think of later generations of Australia, typically British and American running dogs, a **** anti-China country. Thinking of this, how could Xia Yu feel good? What''s more, he who likes to take precautions the most, thinks of more long-term things. Now his business empire has not been completely exposed, but as time goes by, one day, the top of the world will understand his strength clearly. His Bright Fund and Polaris Capital have already begun to tie up with the domestic forces in the United States. Even if the hostile forces behind him come to power and want to attack his consortium, they will be restrained and difficult to do. However, hostile forces can do things in countries other than Britain and the United States, especially countries like Australia and Canada, where it is best to do things. Even Southeast Asia, which Xia Yu regards as an established foundation, is the easiest to provoke because of the diverse countries and many races. Each of these will affect the foundation of his economic rule and severely erode his business empire. "It seems to have to think of a once and for all solution..." When he thought of it, Xia Yu immediately asked Huo Jianning to inform the three leaders of Jiuding Think Tank, Wang Liming of Jiuding Political Research Institute, Xu Wen of Jiuding Social Research Institute, and Lin Shanyuan of Jiuding Commercial Research Institute. After an afternoon of careful communication, the three of them returned with the task, and immediately gathered people to work together. ¡­ New York time, on the morning of September 28, at the Plaza Hotel in New York. U.S. Secretary of the Treasury James Baker, Minister of Finance of the island country Takesami Taken, West German Treasury Secretary Gerhard Stodenberg, French Treasury Secretary Pierre Bergber, and British Treasury Secretary Nigel Lawson, five people, And the governors of the central banks of the five countries, a total of ten people! A meeting was held at the Plaza Hotel in New York, and an agreement was signed for the five-nation policy to intervene in the foreign exchange market in an orderly manner to lower the U.S. dollar against major currencies. The "Plaza Agreement" was signed six days later than in history, but the core of the agreement remains unchanged. Before the signing of the "Plaza Agreement", Xia Yu''s preliminary deployment work had been put in place. All the funds of various countries and markets enter the market, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com just lay down and waited for revenue. Sure enough, after the signing of the "Plaza Agreement", West Germany was the first to take action and sold 1.2 billion US dollars of foreign exchange the next day. Then Britain, France, and island countries also dumped the US dollar. The United States bought US$225 million worth of SMS, US$317 million Japanese yen and US$270 million British pounds in the last two days of September. The West German Mark, British Pound, French Franc and Japanese Yen began to appreciate and the US dollar entered a downward pattern. By mid-October, the central banks of the island countries, West Germany, France, and the United Kingdom sold a total of 7.9 billion U.S. dollars, and other central banks in the G-10 countries also sold more than 3 billion U.S. dollars. The dollar fell 9.7% against the yen, the dollar fell 8.9% against the mark, the dollar fell 8.2% against the pound, and the dollar fell 7.9% against the franc. It is expected that the initial adjustment target of 10%-12% will be achieved by the end of October. On the Jiuding Think Tank side, after nearly 20 days of research, a plan was finally released. v3 Chapter 1377: Penetration policy "Chairman, this is the plan made by the think tank based on your previous tasks. Please have a look!" Huo Jianning took a plan with at least dozens of pages and handed it to Xia Yu. "Okay, hard work!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, accepting the plan with a little expectation. "You take this document down, I made some instructions, and implemented them in accordance with the instructions above." Then, Xia Yu pushed another folder in front of Huo Jianning and asked him to take it away. "Ok!" "Then chairman, I will go down first." "Go!" After watching Huo Jianning leave, Xia Yu took the plan, got up and went to the sofa, sat down in a comfortable posture, and browsed the plan. "Tick...Tick..." As time passed by, there were rustling pages turning in the office from time to time, and the content of this plan was constantly in Xia Yu''s mind. His eyes became deeper and deeper, and he stopped to think again from time to time. It''s just from the corners of his mouth that he occasionally raised, it can be seen that the content of this plan has a lot to his satisfaction. In fact, think tanks are really careful here. The plan formulated is based on various data and facts, and the execution has been deduced. It has a very complete analysis, strong logic and extremely high operability. . In this plan, there are a lot of data and information worthy of attention. For example, the population aspect. The registered population in Australia announced in the last year was 15.54 million. As for illegal immigrants and illegal households, they are not included. Among the 15.54 million people, children under 14 accounted for 23.97%, people over 65 accounted for 10.1%, men accounted for 49.91%, and women accounted for 50.09%. In terms of race, English and Irish descendants accounted for 71%, Asians accounted for 8.1%, Aboriginals accounted for 2.7%, and other ethnic groups accounted for 18.7%. Among Asians, the number of Chinese is the largest, accounting for 4.7%, reaching 730,000. In Canada, the registered population announced in the last year was 25.6 million. Children under the age of 14 accounted for 21.48%, the elderly over 65 accounted for 10.06%, men accounted for 49.67%, and women accounted for 50.33%. The ethnic distribution of Canada is even more complicated than that of Australia. Among the 25.6 million people, 42% are British residents, 26.7% are French, 13% are descendants of other Europeans, 3% are indigenous (Indians, Mithi and Inuit), and the rest are Asian, Latin American, African American, etc. Among them, the Chinese population accounts for 5.1% of Canada''s total population, which is 1.305 million people. It is the largest ethnic minority in Canada, that is, the largest ethnic group other than whites and aboriginals. ... The most important thing is the population data of the mainland. Since 1981 officially broke the one billion population mark, as of 1984, the population was 1.043 billion people. The specific age distribution has not been announced, but in terms of gender ratio, males accounted for 51.6%. , Women accounted for 48.4%, and men accounted for more than 33 million people. It is worth mentioning that because the population has exceeded the one billion mark, the mainland formally implemented the national policy of family planning in 1982, aiming to control the population within 1.2 billion by the end of this century. On the one hand, the mainland has a large population, which must be constantly restricted, on the other hand, the number of overseas Chinese is relatively small. Therefore, the plan of the think tank is to divert a part of the domestic population to Canada, Australia and other countries to increase the population and proportion of the Chinese ethnic group. There are many benefits, and analysis is also done in the plan. Needless to say, the benefits of Xia Yu''s side can enhance the strength and influence of overseas Chinese. There are also great benefits to the mainland. One is to ease the population pressure on the mainland, and the other is to enhance the mainland¡¯s international influence and environment in the long-term. Chinese of the same ancestry and ancestry are all over the world. The greater the influence of overseas Chinese, the better the living environment of the mainland in the international community. Of course, this has two premises, which will greatly affect the effect. One is that we must change the attitude of ethnic Chinese who do not like politics abroad, actively cater to politics, give full play to the power of ethnic groups, and then increase their influence in politics, capital, and society. The other is to always maintain the overseas heritage of Chinese culture, start with education from an early age, ensure that Chinese characters and Chinese are used smoothly internally, and cannot be assimilated into banana people, white-eyed wolves, and even further assimilate other people. . In person, if you want to export the population, the premise must be that it can be exported, and wishful thinking is useless at all. The reason why think tanks took so long to make this plan is that the most important thing is that they spent a lot of time studying the possibilities and methods. This can be seen from the proportion of space in the plan. The think tank has conducted detailed research and analysis on the immigration policies and population registration of Canada and Australia. Research shows that both Canada and Australia are now very relaxed in terms of immigration policies. For example, Australia. In the 1980s, Australia welcomed immigrants. This is something that the world knows, and there has also been a trend of migration. Especially after the Hawke government came to power in 1983, it was a major immigration policy for families. For promotion, a family is welcome to immigrate together. Immigration is very easy. You can study abroad, work, get married, do business, give money, etc. The immigration acceptance rate last year and the year before last accounted for more than 2% of the total population, reaching more than 200,000 people. It is equivalent to the fact that immigration alone will increase Australia¡¯s population by 2% every year. Of course, this is still a formal channel of immigration. There are also channels for illegal immigration, which have always existed. It¡¯s just that some small black intermediaries who operate these channels are weak, but even so, the success rate is extremely high. It can be seen that the Australian government is in control of the border. The weakness. But think about Australia''s long coastline and the scumbag navy and maritime forces, and you can understand it. Small intermediaries can have this power. If Australia''s huge local power is supported, coupled with strong external forces, the success rate is simply not too high. And it was discovered after entering Australia for a period of time, and there are many ways to completely whiten it and become a legal resident. The most difficult thing is, of course, that the top level in Australia will make a policy to apply ID cards to all black households in the territory within a time limit and solve the problem at one time. A simpler but more powerful and rude way is to get through the local civil affairs department in Australia and obtain an ID card. This is a loophole in the rule of man and exploits the weakness of human nature. The next level is to exploit legal loopholes. For example, the fastest fake marriage is to find people from the bottom of society who are in urgent need of money to register for the marriage, and then get an ID card and then divorce. A sheep can be drunk five or six times if done properly; another example is now in Australia. Very loose refugee policy, whitewashed status by applying for refugees. The reason why Australia is so lenient in accepting immigrants lies in the fact that Australia does not have an independent judicial power. This right is still in the hands of the United Kingdom, so that Australia is not a complete country at all. Australia has a large area with sparse population and rich natural resources. It is very suitable for developed countries to receive refugees and alleviate international problems. Of course, it also eases the contradictions in the United Kingdom. Although Britain no longer exiles criminals to Australia as it did in the 19th century, what if it is not a criminal but a "refugee"? (Note: In the 1980s, Britain really continued to send refugees to Australia. Eight or nine thousand people every year are trivial.) There are also real refugees from other countries applying for asylum in the UK. After all, the judicial power is in the hands of the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is the sovereign state of Australia. It is up to the United Kingdom to decide whether or not it is a "refugee". Such loopholes can be drilled as long as Xia Yu is willing to provide resources behind the scenes to lead. The plan also mentions that, in addition to immigrants, the best method for overseas Chinese is to secretly organize to change the thinking of the Chinese, let them know the importance of the number of ethnic groups to their living environment, encourage fertility, and at least outperform. The population growth rate of a country. According to analysis, as long as the ethnic Chinese reach more than 10% of a country¡¯s population, the living environment of the ethnic Chinese will rise to a higher level. If it reaches more than 20%, there will be a qualitative change. For Australia, the current population is only 15.54 million, and 20% is 3 million people. There are now 730,000 Chinese in Australia, which is equivalent to a quarter of the target number. With a population of two to three million, if you use an average score of five to ten years to complete it, the operability is extremely high! Only the formal immigration channels can send millions of people in, so the remaining half use other channels, which is not conspicuous at all. The same is true for Canada. Although Canada has a large population base, the proportion of Chinese is higher than that of Australia. The number is twice that of Australian Chinese, and the natural population growth rate of Canada is lower than that of Australia! Australia and Canada, two developed countries, can use these methods. But for developing countries such as Southeast Asian countries, immigration is not realistic. The only and best way is to encourage the Chinese to have children and then stabilize the cultural inheritance system. Especially like Malaysia and Star City, the former ethnic Chinese accounted for more than 30%, in the 1950s it was even closer to 40%, and the latter was even more. The ethnic Chinese accounted for more than half of the dominant ethnic group. Then there is Thailand, where the proportion of ethnic Chinese is also close to 20%. It''s just that because the economy of Southeast Asia is relatively underdeveloped, the fertility rate of the indigenous people is extremely high, so that the proportion of the Chinese population in these years has been declining. In the Southeast Asian consortium and the Yanhuang Association, Xia Yu has repeatedly emphasized such topicsThe major Chinese families in Southeast Asia have also made changes, uniting and accelerating their penetration into the political arena, this time in the population Just make a supplement. ... "This matter, the mainland will definitely not support it, but it is only necessary that the mainland does not stop it and pretend to be deaf. This should be very possible." "As for the issue of illegal immigration, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the most important resource is money. I just made so much money in Australia, and I have to give something back to the local area and let the people of the Australian local civil affairs department operate illegally. Some underground organizations in the U.S. and U.K. do it..." After the decision, Xia Yu immediately set out to implement it. Soon some labor service companies were established in Australia, and intelligence agencies began to screen suitable candidates for local civil affairs departments in Australia, as well as candidates for local Chinese leaders in various regions. Then, at the new meeting of the Yanhuang Association, Xia Yu gave a speech on "A Century Plan for Comprehensively Improving the Living Environment of Chinese in the World" and put forward a series of requirements. After the meeting, many social groups appeared unknowingly in Southeast Asian countries. It seemed like a net, which enveloped all the Chinese people and bound them together... v3 Chapter 1378: The bad news from the U.S. "Chairman, Xu Huange from the Philippines is here!" This afternoon, Xia Yu was dealing with official duties, and his subordinates came to report the news. "Invite him in!" "Call someone in to make tea." After Xia Yu put down the pen, he instructed his subordinates. "Ok!" The subordinate respectfully responded, and then withdrew from Xia Yu''s office. "It looks like they are ready." With a chuckle, Xia Yu closed and placed the documents on the desktop, then got up and walked to the French window and stretched out. After a while, the subordinates brought in Xu Huange. "Chairman, I''m bothering again!" As soon as he came in, Xu Huange greeted Xia Yu with a smile on his face. "What are you doing like this, Old Xu, please sit down!" "I haven''t seen you for a while, your complexion is a little bad, have you been overworked recently?" Xia Yu looked at Xu Huange and said with a little concern. Xu Huange took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "The chairman has good eyesight, you can see this." "No way, now the Philippines is becoming more turbulent, the situation is getting more tense, and I continue to provide resources, because I care, so I am nervous..." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a faint smile: "I can understand, but it''s okay to be careful, but you have to adjust your mentality in time and pay attention to your body." Xia Yu¡¯s snare has been intensively cultivated in Southeast Asia for many years. Especially last year, he had a tendency to work on the Philippines. Therefore, he has collected all kinds of information about the Philippines in detail. Beginning last year, the opposition in the Philippines has been united. In the re-election of the National Assembly last year, the opposition suddenly broke out and won more than one-third of all seats in one fell swoop. Ferdinand¡¯s Social Movement Party¡¯s dictatorship in the Philippines was torn apart, and the opposition parties united and took a firm foothold. In contrast to the Supreme Court of the Philippines being controlled by the Social Movement Party, the Supreme Prosecutor''s Office of the Philippines has become one of the opposition positions. Therefore, in January this year, the Philippine Prosecutor''s Office formally charged the court with 25 soldiers and 1 government official including Ferdinand¡¯s most powerful Eagle Dog, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Bell, on the grounds that they were involved in the 1983 murder. It''s just that some key witnesses suddenly disappeared before corroboration. Because there were no witnesses, the hearing was forced to be delayed, so that it has been ten months since the accusation and there is still no result. However, this has not prevented the opposition parties from seizing these doubts to incite the people to stage anti-government activities. Of course, some of the witnesses have really evaporated, but Xia Yu took precautions and let the nets take action in advance. The civet cat changed the prince to save the six witnesses, and they kept secretly protecting them, waiting for the critical moment to take effect. "Chairman, I am ready on our side, and have threatened to win over some high-ranking military officials. Now there is no right time to start." "Two plans, the simpler one is to induce Ferdinand to start the general election ahead of time and defeat him head-on in the election." "The second plan is more difficult. It is to instigate a military coup and force Ferdinand to step down. It''s just that this plan is difficult and risky." After taking a sip of tea, Xu Huange said to Xia Yu. Xia Yu nodded slightly and said: "If it can be implemented in accordance with the first plan, of course it will be better. If it is in position, it will be corrected, and the hidden dangers in the future will be lower." "The second plan is too uncertain. Even if it succeeds, it is not conducive to the cleanup and orderly control of the army." Xu Huange nodded, and said with a little worry: "You are right, we have also taken this into consideration. If a military coup is really carried out, then most military generals will still be the ministers of the dragon. If you move one or two, it is easy to let others People are chilling and vigilant." After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu said to Xu Huange: "In fact, it is difficult and difficult to induce Ferdinand to hold a general election in advance, but easy and easy to say." "Now there are less than two years before the next general election." "With the current offensive of the opposition party and the strength of the Filipino people''s opposition to him, Ferdinand''s approval rate will definitely drop further in the future." "As long as Ferdinand realizes that this continues and that there is a high probability that he will fail in the real general election, then he will definitely choose to fight to open the general election in advance." "Of course, the premise is to let him see the hope of victory in opening the general election in advance, and he may not dare to take risks if the risks are too great." Originally, the president of the Philippines was once every three years, but in order to strengthen the family''s rule over the Philippines, Ferdinand forcibly changed the law and changed it to a five-year term. Now he is less than two years away from the expiration of his term. If he wins, there will be a new five years, and the new five years will be more abundant and have more time to deal with the opposition party. Of course, it can also stabilize his organization. Inside people''s hearts. So for Ferdinand, the benefits of opening the election early are great, of course, if he sees hope. To persecute him excessively, there is no guarantee that he will take the risk again, relying on the army in his hand to break the political rules set by him before, and carry out a major purge. "Chairman, this control is more difficult. If you don''t know how to control it, it''s hard not to be alerted by Ferdinand." Xu Huange was very moved, but after calming down, he raised new worries. Xia Yu chuckled and said, "You don''t need to do this. Ferdinand monitors the opposition with great intensity. If you do, the possibility of exposure is very high." "For polls and media, I should arrange for someone to do it." Xu Huange smiled immediately and exhilarated, "Chairman, then I have to trouble you again." Xia Yu chuckled a few times and didn''t go to court. He said again: "By the way, Lao Xu, about the family of Ferdinand, I have almost checked it out here." "He and his family''s illegal embezzlement in the Philippines at least exceeded three billion U.S. dollars in funds, in addition to a large amount of assets." "Including more than 4,000 acres of real estate, more than 5,000 acres of commercial land, 23 farms, more than 200 companies, and 18 TV stations, 36 radio stations, and 20 airplanes. More than a dozen yachts." "The U.S. check is even clearer. There are four office buildings in Manhattan, New York. In the secret library of his Beverly Villa in Los Angeles and the Honolulu Villa in Hawaii, cash, gold and other things are worth more than 700 million U.S. dollars." "There are also billions of dollars in deposits in the United States, Austria, Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other places." "I have kept these survey data secretly, and I will give it to you when I need it." In fact, most of these data were obtained by the US intelligence agency. After all, because of the urine nature of the United States, Ferdinand was previously supported to try to get the Philippines against the Red Soviet Union. Naturally, he had to seize the handle of Ferdinand. It''s just that Ferdinand is an extremely rare greedy person, and the number of black spots and handles is not average, and the US intelligence agencies are shocked. Of course, Ferdinand must be unclear about these things. He knew that he would definitely be monitored by the United States, but he underestimated the US intelligence forces and didn''t know that he was touched so clearly. I can only blame him for using the Jin Yuan offensive to control the people''s minds. The Philippine armed forces have long gone bad. For the United States, it can be described as riddled with holes, but he doesn''t know it. "Chairman, really control the evidence?" Xu Huange was shocked by what Xia Yu said, and then he was excited and hurriedly asked. Xia Yu gave him the affirmative answer again: "Take control, when necessary, someone in the United States will publicly expose this." "But it''s not safe for you to take these things, don''t think about it so much." Xu Huange took a deep breath: "I understand that we must also have a **** planted by Ferdinand within us. I will only tell my cousin about this matter, and I will not tell anyone else." Xia Yu gave him admiring glances: "I want to do this." "..." ¡­ Later, Xia Yu and Xu Huange discussed some more things, such as asking Xu Huange and others to strengthen their own security forces to prevent Ferdinand from jumping over the wall. After Xu Huange left, Xia Yu issued some instructions to Luo Wang and announced the start of the plan. Xia Yu originally wanted to re-plan the layout of Southeast Asia these days. UU reading But before dinner in the evening, I received an overseas call from the eastern United States. The phone call was made by Sandy¡¯s third brother, Leonard Mellon, in order to get Sandy back home quickly. The reason is shocking. Sandy''s father, Richard King Mellon, is critically ill and is in the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor said that there is little hope! After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu immediately called Huo Jianning and asked him to immediately arrange for the travellers to gather at the airport, and let the airport clear one out, ready to take off at any time! Later, Xia Yu told Sandi of the bad news. Sandi unexpectedly broke down emotionally, which made Xia Yu and the medical team very nervous. Fortunately, Sandi did not faint, and then Xia Yu took her to the airport. After half an hour. Xia Yu¡¯s private jet Fengshen cut through the night sky and flew towards the United States... v3 Chapter 1379: Mellons crisis "Husband, you said why my father suddenly fell ill. I called him before. He knew that I was pregnant and he was very happy. He also said that he would hug his grandson, but now...uuu..." On the plane, Sandy fell in Xia Yu''s arms, weeping sadly. Sadness is contagious. Even if Xia Yu couldn''t feel the same, but the husband and wife were of the same heart, he could still clearly feel Sandy''s grief. "Sandy, my dad is 74 years old. When people get older, their physical functions will decline and they will inevitably get sick. All we can do now is pray for dad." "You are still pregnant, you must cheer up. If your father is still awake, he definitely doesn''t want you to be like this." "Cheer up, okay?" Xia Yu stroked Xiandi''s back, gently comforting. Sandy seemed to have listened, pursing her lips and raising her head, looking at Xia Yu with swollen eyes, nodded slightly: "Well, I will cheer up." Xia Yu smiled and comforted again: "It will be okay." "Supper is ready, let''s have something to eat first, and then take a good rest. Let''s face it with a fuller spirit, okay?" "Ok." ¡­ It takes 16 or 7 hours to fly from Xiangjiang to New York, and then it takes some time to get off the plane to the hospital. When Xia Yu brought Sandi and dozens of people from the bodyguard team to the hospital, he met many members of the Mellon family. Among the immediate family members, Richard King Mellon¡¯s wife and older peers have both passed away. It was his cousin Paul Mellon and Sandy''s cousin, a 71-year-old man who stabilized the army. Apart from this, they are Sandy''s other brothers and sisters. The eldest brother Richard Mellon Skeff, and the second brother Timothy Mellon, like art and computer, respectively, do not care about the family business, Xia Yu has only met a few times. The other is the more familiar brothers Leonard Mellon and Woodlow Mellon. At this time, in addition to sadness on the faces of the two brothers, their eyes were also dazed and at a loss. Xia Yu can understand this. In addition, Sandy''s sisters were also present. "Sandy, you are finally back." "How''s Dad?" As soon as she saw her family, Sandy hurriedly asked the people present, with expectations in her eyes, hoping to get the answer she wanted. "Fortunately, Dad came back from the rescue." "However, the doctor said that there is a high probability of becoming a vegetative, and father''s vital signs are weak, the probability of wanting to wake up is almost zero." The eldest brother Skeff said to his sister Sandy with a sad expression. Sandi was pleasantly surprised when she heard it, but when she heard the next sentence, tears burst into her eyes. She muttered to herself: "Dad..." "Where is Dad now, I want to see him." "Dad is in this ward, come in." After that, Skeff pushed open the concealed ward door, and walked in with Xia Yu and Sandy. This is a top ward with complete medical facilities. Old Mellon is lying on the only hospital bed with various pipelines and lines attached to him. There are also a doctor and two nurses around the bed to observe the situation in real time. "Dad, Sandy is back, you open your eyes and look at me, okay?" "Dad, can you answer me okay..." No matter how Sandy called to Old Mellon, he still didn''t react at all while lying on the hospital bed, but the heartbeat monitor beside him kept ringing regularly. Xia Yu was also uncomfortable. He looked at his elder brother Skeff and the other brothers and sisters who had also followed up, and saw that everyone was sad, and several sisters with lower tears were secretly wiping tears. Xia Yu has not spoken, just gently hugging Sandy, giving her a sense of security while also preventing her from falling. When Sandy¡¯s grief vented and her emotions were relatively stable, Xia Yu comforted her in a soft voice: "Sandy, it¡¯s a very good situation after the rescue. Although the doctor gave a pessimistic analysis, it is still It¡¯s not really judged to be a vegetative, and there are miracles in the world where vegetatives wake up again, right? "At least, we still have hope!" "Well, a miracle will surely come to Dad. He is the strongest person and he can definitely wake up." Sandi''s Zhenshou leaned on Xia Yu''s shoulder, still looking at his father on the hospital bed, muttering. Muttered to himself. "Doctor, why did my father fall ill?" "Dear lady, your father..." When Sandi asked the doctor about the situation, Xia Yu also listened together. He looked deeply at the lying old Mellon, but couldn''t help but shook his head secretly in his heart. Old Mellon suffered a heart attack and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Fortunately, he did not die on the spot because of the timely treatment, but he is now unconscious. The cause of the heart disease is the same as that known to Xia Yu in the previous life, except that the old Mellon was not saved in the previous life, and he was temporarily saved in this life, but he has a high probability of becoming a vegetative. If you can''t wake up, or even become a vegetable, it actually means the same thing as a dead person for the Mellon family. Moreover, people who have undergone craniotomy due to cerebral hemorrhage have huge sequelae, and even if they wake up, they cannot be the same as before. Therefore, even if the old Mellon woke up after a miracle, it was very likely that he was a useless person, and could not be the wise and wise third-generation head of the Mellon family. For the current Mellon family, there is an urgent need to reappear a new core of family leaders, otherwise the family and consortium will have a huge crisis! Just think about the current situation of the Mellon family, it is indeed a state of loose sand. Paul Mellon, who has the most seniority and owns the most property share, is not only old, but also incapable of taking over. After all, as the son of Andrew Mellon, the second-generation leader, he chose it when he was young. To do charity and collection, lack of sufficient training, is not good at business and struggle at all. Most of Paul Mellon''s and grandchildren were influenced by him. Although many of them are elites, they are elites in other fields, and they are also not interested in family business. There are a few people who care about it, but they have limited talent and embarrassingly use it. Richard King Mellon¡¯s four sons, the eldest and the second, are both in their 30s and 40s. They are in their prime of life, but they are also not good at business. It can be said that they have no achievements and absolutely cannot convince the public. The third son Leonard Mellon is 28 years old, and the fourth son Woodrow Mellon is 23 years old. Both of them have strong talents in the business field. These years, they have been taught by Old Mellon''s Dunton and have grown up. quickly. But the shortcomings are also obvious. I haven''t experienced big winds and waves. I have shown my talent, but I haven''t accumulated enough experience yet. Being a middle-to-high-level person is qualified, but if you want to become the head of the consortium, let alone it is difficult to convince the public, even the other shareholders in the Mellon consortium may not be convinced. In addition to the two lines of Paul Mellon and Richard King Mellon, the Mellon family has other tribesmen, but they inherit relatively few assets, but many of them hold important positions in some companies. Many of these people are elites, but there is still a big gap between becoming the head of the family and the master of the consortium. It''s just that most of them are the uncles and uncles of Leonard and Woodlow. Regardless of whether they are interested in the position of the head of the house, at least one thing is certain, they will never unconditionally support Leonard and Woodlow. After all, for them, they may prefer to trust professional managers or themselves, rather than fully trust the abilities of Leonard and Woodlow. When the family is big, stability is the first priority. The word "gambling" has been completely decoupled! Xia Yu, who has memories of later generations, is very clear that Paul Mellon is also getting older. He died in 1987 in his previous life, and it has been less than two years now. Paul Mellon is alive, at least relying on his seniority and possessions, he can give orders. If Leonard and Woodlow can get the support of their cousin Paul Mellon, then all is fine. But once Paul Mellon passed away, the Mellon family really fell apart, fighting on their own, gradually losing the management power over the companies under the consortium, and their influence continued to decline. As far as Xia Yu is concerned, the Mellon family absolutely cannot disperse. He needs a powerful Mellon family to be his ally in the eastern United States. He had considered this idea a long time ago. He has his own Polaris consortium in the west, and if he comes to the east as an ally of the Mellon consortium, he will be able to stand firm in the United States. And now in the Mellon consortium, the best support objects are his two brother-in-laws, Leonard and Woodlow. Only if two of them or one of them are in charge of the Mellon family is the most beneficial to Xia Yu. Now, the operation time left for him, or Leonard and Woodlow, is only more than a year. ¡­ At this time, it has been more than eighteen hours since the old Mellon fell ill into the hospital. The hospital was crowded with people, and members of the Mellon family also gathered in the hospital, and the news could not be blocked. Various family consortia received mixed reactions after learning the news. And the biggest response was the Cleveland Consortium! v3 Chapter 1380: The mind of the Cleveland Consortium The Cleveland consortium is also a combined consortium, unlike the Morgan consortium, the Rockefeller consortium, the DuPont consortium and the Mellon consortium, it has a super-strong internal structure. Its type is like the Chicago consortium that was dismembered before. In the beginning, the Cleveland Consortium relied on the abundant coal and iron resources in the Cleveland area to form a steel industry consortium, and then relied on resources to expand step by step into banking, rubber industry, and rail transportation. Even now, the steel industry is still the main interest of the Cleveland consortium. Four of the ten largest steel companies in the United States are under the control of the Cleveland Consortium, namely Republic Steel Company, Lex Youngston Company, Amco Steel Company and National Steel Company. Of course, because the US industry has been continuously competing for the market by foreign countries in the past decade or two, it has also been affected by comprehensive international economic factors, so that the US industry has been greatly affected. Therefore, the overall strength of the Cleveland Consortium is only to accompany the last seat, ranking the bottom. It''s just that the Chicago Consortium, which was previously stronger than it, was dismembered by multiple consortia, so the Cleveland Consortium, which was originally ranked tenth, was fortunate to rise one place to ninth, and tenth belongs to the North Star Consortium in the West. As a combined consortium, like the Chicago consortium, it has four core families, namely the Mather family, the Hanna family, the Humphrey family and the Eaton family. Even if the four are allies, but in the final analysis, they are not a family. Inevitably, there will be intrigues. Family interests cannot be fully linked to the interests of the consortium, so that the Cleveland consortium has been heavily infiltrated by other consortia. For example, in the financial field, although the Cleveland Consortium has repeatedly strengthened, it has five financial institutions, including Cleveland Trust Company, Cleveland National City Bank, and Kekai International Group, but these five financial institutions are all regional financial companies, and none of them is national. Large financial giants. As a result, in terms of finance, the Cleveland consortium relies on other consortia in the east, and most of it relies on the Morgan consortium and the First Citibank consortium in terms of raising funds. In the industrial field, it has been infiltrated by the Rockefeller and Mellon consortiums, especially the Mellon consortium. Amco Steel was infiltrated by the Mellon Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium. The National Steel Company was also infiltrated by the Mellon Consortium. Two of the four steel cores have been severely penetrated, The other rubber giant, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, has also been heavily penetrated by the Mellon Consortium. Another tire and rubber giant Firestone Tire & Rubber Company was infiltrated by the Rockefeller Consortium. In addition, there are some less important companies that have been penetrated by other consortia to varying degrees. Of course, in this age, mutual infiltration between consortia has become very common, and the difference is only in the severity of the infiltration. It''s just that the Cleveland consortium is relatively miserable and the infiltration is so serious that when the four major families such as Mather and Humphrey face these families, they are already inferior, and there are more constraints in all aspects, which seriously hinder the Cleveland consortium. Development and growth. And the third-generation head of the Mellon family who led them to a new peak was the fall of Richard King Mellon, who was awe-inspiring by them, but made them eager to move. At the foot of a heavily guarded mountain in the suburbs of Cleveland, the Mather family is located here, and it has been more than a hundred years. That night, the heads of the four major families gathered here. Douglas Mather is the director of the estate, Reginald Hanna, Kenneth Humphrey and Sam Eaton. The four are the top figures in Ohio, as well as the top bigwigs in the United States. The stomping of the four can affect the American industry. "The latest news I got, old Mellon has been abandoned, there is a high probability of becoming a vegetable, even if he can wake up, it is impossible to be the king of Pennsylvania." With a cheerful smile on his face, Mather Douglas told the good news to the people sitting there. "It is indeed good news, but there is still some regret. It would be great if he passed away directly." Sam Eaton said with regret. His hostility to the Mellon family is very strong. The reason for this is that the National Steel Company controlled by their family was heavily infiltrated by the Mellon Consortium. In daily operations, he was unable to fully use his hands and feet. Out of anger. "Everyone can''t wait for him to pass away, but this is not something we can control." "As far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is already very good. His sudden fall has greatly reduced the threat of the Mellon Consortium to us. Now the Mellon family has not yet cultivated a qualified new generation of heads. , This is our chance!" Reginald Hannah sneered. Kenneth Humphrey added: "There is a problem with the Mellon family''s education, and the management of the offspring is too loose, so that there are problems with the cultivation of heirs." "Old Mellon took his third son Leonard Mellon and fourth son Woodrow Mellon wherever he went before. I have also met these two young men. They are indeed very talented, but they are still too young. ." "The elder Leonard Mellon is only twenty-eight years old this year. He can''t stand up to the task, haha..." Douglas Mather poured cold water on everyone with a serious face: "Let''s not be too happy too early. At least Paul Mellon is still alive. Although his ability is far inferior to Richard King Mellon, he is still possible. Calm the turmoil in the Mellon family." Sam Eaton sneered and said, "Huh, now that Old Mellon is down, there are many people who are staring at the Mellon Consortium. I don''t believe Paul Mellon can resist it completely." Reginald Hannah then said: "Sam is right. We are certainly not the only ones who have ideas about the Mellon Consortium. I don''t believe that David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan, two greedy people, will give up. This opportunity." "We are sitting here now, isn''t it just for this?" "We still quickly determine the action plan, UU reading must act as soon as possible." Kenneth Humphrey immediately put forward his opinion: "I think the bottom line of our action is actually very clear. The three companies, Amco Steel, National Steel, and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, are controlled by the Mellon Consortium. Take it back and strengthen our foundation." "Then if the funds are sufficient, the equity held by the Mellon consortium in other companies will also be taken back." Reginald Hanna made a different opinion. "I fully agree with Kenneth''s previous point of view, but I think the latter point of view is still too conservative." "I think we can be more radical. With the exception of these three companies, the shares of other companies can not be acquired, but instead use resources to attack the Mellon consortium." "Our financial strength is relatively weak and we rely heavily on other banks in the east. Can we use this opportunity to swallow a certain financial platform of the Mellon Consortium and enhance our own financial autonomy." "In addition, the Mellon consortium owns four large steel companies. Can we take the opportunity to acquire them? Complete absolute control of the US steel industry?" v3 Chapter 1381: Rockefeller duo "Reginoord''s suggestion is good." "Although the steel industry has now evolved into a basic industry, even the steel companies of our consortium have difficulties operating, but if we can annex the steel companies of the Mellon consortium, then we can integrate internal resources and reduce the homogeneity of the production and R&D competition just now. Loss, the operating conditions will be optimized instead." "But I''m thinking, since we can target the four steel companies, why don''t we expand the scope further to see if Pittsburgh National Bank can be taken?" Sam Eaton''s heart is bigger. After listening to Reginald Hannah''s point of view, he thought for a moment and said with deep eyes. As soon as the words came out, everyone looked and fell into thinking. For a long time, Reginald Hanna said: "This is indeed a good direction." "Although Pittsburgh National Bank is one of the core financial platforms of the Mellon Consortium, in terms of importance, it ranks only fourth after the Bank of New York, Mellon Financial Corporation and General Reinsurance Company." "The most important thing is that it is the financial core of the Mellon Consortium in the Pittsburgh area. It has close ties with the major industrial companies in Pittsburgh. If the acquisition of it can be completed, then the influence of the Cleveland Consortium in Pittsburgh will soar." "Not only can we use the Pittsburgh National Bank to control other companies, but it also adds a core financial platform to us, enhances the strength of the financial field, and can further get rid of financial dependence on the Morgan Consortium and the First Citibank Consortium." "Yes, the benefits are really great, and it''s worth fighting for." "I agree too!" "..." With the continuous elaboration of their opinions, the four people''s thinking continued to diverge, and a plan to take advantage of the Mellon family to take advantage of the fire gradually took shape. ¡­ Naturally, the Cleveland consortium is not the only one who wants to take advantage of the fire. Among them is the Rockefeller family, which has a more in-depth cooperation with the Meilong family. Between the Mellon Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, there are two iconic partnership-controlled companies, namely Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric Company. The former is the top U.S. arms supplier, providing radar, aircraft and missiles to the U.S. military. This company is another arms company in the Mellon consortium besides Rockwell International. Lockheed Corporation merged into the prestigious Lockheed Martin Corporation. Westinghouse Electric Company was founded by the great American inventor George Westinghouse in 1886. It is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This company was later acquired by the Mellon family and is widely active in energy and transportation. , Communications, military, aerospace, and environmental health management. In addition to this arms giant and the electrical industry giant, some companies such as Amco Steel have also been infiltrated by the Rockefeller consortium. Compared with the Cleveland Consortium, which requires the four major families to jointly negotiate, the Rockefeller Consortium has many other families as partners, but the core of the Rockefeller Consortium is the Rockefeller family from beginning to end. So there are only two people discussing matters secretly. The head of the family David Rockefeller, and the second core figure of the family, the fourth brother of David Rockefeller-Lawrence Rockefeller. The two are the two core pillars of the Rockefeller family. The influence of the former is unparalleled. When they go abroad, they are received by other countries at the presidential level. The latter is a financial wizard more outstanding than David Rockefeller, who opened the world''s venture capital, has the title of "father of venture capital", and also dominates the New York Stock Exchange bought by his grandfather. It is precisely because of his existence that the Rockefeller family has repeatedly contended with the "King of Wall Street" and the late fourth-generation head of the Morgan family Henry Morgan in the financial field, and broke Morgan Stanley (Moscow) for more than 30 years. The trend of dominating the world under accumulation. Nowadays, the Morgan family can compare with him, and only the most outstanding son of Henry Morgan who founded Morgan Stanley, and the fifth-generation head of the Morgan family, John Chris Morgan, who has the reputation of "financial genius". . "David, what are you going to do with the Mellon Consortium this time?" Lawrence Rockefeller leaned on the sofa with his left hand, with Erlang''s legs tilted, and after a few mouthfuls with a Cuban cigar in his mouth, he asked David Rockefeller. "At the very least, the Gulf Oil Company must take it over. Last year there was a chance, but the turmoil was calmed by Old Mellon by cleaning up overseas assets and returning funds." "But this time, Gulf Oil needs to rebrand our family''s logo!" David Rockefeller said calmly. David Rockefeller, as the head of the Rockefeller family to a new peak, is naturally unparalleled. In his hands, the Rockefeller Consortium has been firmly seated as the number one consortium in the United States and even the world for more than 20 years, and the Rockefeller family has continued to widen the gap with the Morgan family. Although wealth is what he has pursued all his life, he also wants to restore the glory of the family. Regardless of the size of the Rockefeller consortium, the symbol of the Rockefeller family will never be changed: Standard Oil Company! More than 70 years ago, the Rockefeller family could not cover the sky with one hand. With the union of Roosevelt and other families, Standard Oil was directly turned into 34 oil companies. In the past seventy years, Rockefeller Jr. and David Rockefeller re-established the flagship company Exxon Petroleum. Through smart management and continuous mergers and acquisitions, Exxon Petroleum has continued to grow and once again ranks first in the world. Although it cannot dominate the oil industry as it did during the Standard Oil Company, it is also very good. When it first entered 1980, it became the world''s first oil company with sales exceeding 100 billion U.S. dollars, and its net profit reached more than 5 billion U.S. dollars! Now the seven largest oil companies in the world are Exxon Oil Company, Dutch Shell Oil Company, Mobil Oil Company, Texaco Oil Company, British Petroleum Company, Chevron Oil Company, and Gulf Oil Company in descending order. Among them, Exxon Oil Company is dominated by the Rockefeller family, and the three companies, Shell Oil Company of the Netherlands, Mobil Oil Company and Chevron Oil Company, are all controlled by the Rockefeller family with the largest share of equity. Only three companies, Texaco Oil Company, British Petroleum Company and Gulf Oil Company, have not been penetrated yet. Behind the Texaco Oil Company is the Texas consortium, BP is even less likely to be taken back, and the overseas oil company is controlled by the Mellon consortium. U U Reading Therefore, David Rockefeller has long been eyeing Texaco Oil Company and Gulf Oil Company. This time the fall of Old Mellon is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him! Lawrence Rockefeller expertly breathed out a smoke ring, and said lightly: "Gulf Oil Company will definitely get it back, but this time is a rare opportunity. It would be a waste of opportunity just to win such a company." "When the old Mellon was here, he not only resisted our penetration, but also successfully resisted Morgan''s penetration. Although the strength was much worse than our two families, it was able to make the Mellon consortium independent of the mountain and strengthen with us in many fields. competition." "This time, he finally fell down, so he had to knock the Mellon family off the table. No one in the Mellon family has the right to eat at the same table with us!" "It''s better not to have it in the future!" PS: I''m sorry, it''s slower these days. So many consortiums enter the venue at once, the information is difficult to find, and the relationship is difficult to smooth, let alone the plot based on the above construction, it is really big, please also Forgive me! Suggestions are welcome! v3 Chapter 1382: Shareholder rebellion Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads! Consortium is a monopoly group formed by the integration of huge banks and huge enterprises controlled by a few financial oligarchs. The rich may not necessarily be a consortium, but a consortium will never be without money. The size of the consortium depends on the size of the consortium. The reason why the person who dominates the consortium has a very high status is because he can dominate the huge social resources. The more social resources one has, the higher the social status of the consortium¡¯s controller. Therefore, the goal of every consortium is the same, dominating more social resources, rather than making more money unilaterally. Money is just a golden egg, and when it is used up, it will be used up, but if it hatches into a hen, the hen will continue to lay golden eggs, which forms a virtuous circle. In modern capitalist society, most of the social resources have been reflected in the company''s situation, and political resources have become the aid of capital. This system makes every consortium want to control more companies in order to enhance its social influence and social status. For major consortia, the goal is not to wholly own a company, but to complete the control of a company. There is an essential difference between a company''s equity and business control. Operators or controllers can slaughter other shareholders, and other shareholders cannot resist unless they unite to oppose or seize power. This facilitates the ultimate controller to use the company to create greater benefits. What is ugly is that there are deliberately dismal operations to acquire equity at a low price, and there are also methods such as capital injection and dilution to make the equity in one''s hands appreciate in disguise. More obscure, it is to use the company''s resources to seek benefits for oneself. For example, the simplest thing is that the Rockefeller consortium does not need to acquire Gulf Oil. It only needs to control the company¡¯s board of directors and shareholders meeting, and control the operating rights. Then a company with tens of thousands of employees can buy Rockefeller when the company buys insurance collectively. Instead of buying insurance from the Mellon Consortium¡¯s insurance company. If a person is worth a thousand dollars, tens of thousands of people will be worth several hundred million in premiums, and as long as they don''t lose control of the company, the income will be there every year, and there will be tens of billions of dollars in decades. This is the linkage effect of resources. The biggest beneficiary will only be in the hands of the company''s ultimate controller, not the shareholders. So the Rockefeller family''s purpose is this, and other consortia in the world also follow this model, including Xia Yu''s consortium. It''s just that Xia Yu''s consortium is an alternative, and its rise is too fast. Compared with other consortia, it can be regarded as the early stage of entrepreneurship in terms of time. Therefore, the equity of many companies is highly concentrated in him. Now, Xia Yu¡¯s core foundation has long been established. While continuing to expand the foundation, he has also begun to move to the second stage, adopting non-full holding or absolute holding to expand its strength, creating a more outer moat and more surface nutrition. Floor. After careful discussion, the brothers David Rockefeller and Lawrence Rockefeller determined the hunting target and also made a plan. The two old foxes knew that someone would do it first, and knew that the strength and capital of the Mellon consortium had not been damaged, so they planned to let other consortiums that couldn''t help being the vanguard. When other consortia consume or contain the funds of the Mellon Consortium, they will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be more conducive to forcing the Mellon Consortium to compromise. When the Rockefeller, Cleveland and other consortia secretly planned the Mellon consortium. Xia Yu continued to accompany Sandi and stayed in the United States. The news that Old Mellon fell ill and unconscious is no longer limited to a handful of people knowing, but has spread throughout the US political and business circles, and even many family consortia outside the US know it. For a time, undercurrents surged, and a strange atmosphere gradually rose in the American business community. Just when many people are expecting to guess which consortium will not help but test the Mellon consortium first. I didn''t want to be a notorious financial robber who shot first. Boone Pickens, the founder of Mesa Petroleum Company, ranked only 98 in the "Top 400" of the US oil industry, is a financial robber who runs an oil company but is always involved in extortion and making trouble in the financial market. He unexpectedly obtained financial support from DeSarrell Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and acquired 10.2% of Gulf Oil Company in one fell swoop, and publicly announced that he requested to enter the Gulf Oil Company¡¯s board of directors. As we all know, De Sarre does not belong to the Mellon consortium system, but is a competitor with Mellon Financial Corporation and the Bank of New York. So after the news was announced, a large number of eyes gathered on this battlefield. And Boone Pickens knows the essence of being a tiger. While the Gulf Oil Company¡¯s management was still in urgent consultations. In the afternoon of the same day, Mesa Oil Company put forward a very attractive plan for shareholders. Once Mesa Oil Company takes over the Gulf Oil Company, it will split the Gulf Oil Company into half of its oil and natural gas reserves, and form a separate "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company". The original shareholders can obtain this trust company in equal amounts. Securities. The most important thing is that this "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" is a trust company rather than an oil company. The annual income from this part of the assets will be decoupled from the other assets of the Gulf Oil Company, and the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" will directly and completely The land is allocated to stock holders instead of going through Gulf Oil. For Gulf Oil Company stock holders, because they hold the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" securities in their hands, they get all the benefits generated by this part of the assets. In contrast, in the past, what they got from Gulf Oil Company was that Gulf Company deducted part of the income from expanded reproduction from all profits. The difference was too big. At the same time, this part of the income of the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" is no longer included in the total income of the Gulf Oil Company to pay taxes payable, but is directly distributed to the stock holders, allowing the stock holders to pay personal income tax themselves. After such an operation, stock holders can get several times the dividends of stocks in the past! It just hurts the long-term interests of Gulf Oil Company and is not conducive to long-term development. But for shareholders who do not have the right to manage and operate, they would rather choose to be short-sighted. After all, no one can say for sure in the future, but as long as the money goes into the pocket, even if the Gulf Oil Company¡¯s share price falls in the future, the "Gulf Oil & Gas Trust Company" will be able to offset the loss of stock investment, or even exceed it. For shareholders, this kind of solution with less risk and significantly greater returns cannot be tempted They must support Mesa Petroleum to enter the board of directors and make wise decisions! Soon, the Gulf Oil Company was discussing the matter internally, and many middle-level employees who held stocks expressed their views and expressed their attitudes to the senior management. The high-level managers with management rights are not so short-sighted. They understand Mesa''s sinister intentions and naturally and flatly refuse. The Gulf Oil Company started to lose its position, and contradictions between the upper and the middle and lower strata emerged. Boone Pickens did not stop, and continued to bribe the media, allowing many newspapers to report the news. Soon, news spread quickly, more and more investors expressed support, and the management of Gulf Oil Company panicked. Shareholders are going to rebel! Unable to suppress it, many directors called the Mellon family... v3 Chapter 1383: Wolves eating tigers Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads! In the living room of the Mellon family. Some members of the Mellon family gathered here, fifteen people in total. There are Paul Mellon, Leonard, Timothy and other four brothers, as well as James Mellon and other tribesmen. Among them, James Mellon is Paul Mellon¡¯s cousin, James Mellon¡¯s grandfather and Paul Mellon¡¯s father are brothers. James Mellon is now the chairman of the Gulf Oil Company and runs this family business that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years on behalf of the family. Of course, his equity is not much, not even one percent. This is also the current situation in which the Mellon family holds equity in various companies. Family members hold very few equity in various companies, and most of the equity is in the family''s charity fund or management fund. The equity of the fund belongs to everyone, but the head of the family has the highest authority. "James, what''s the situation with Gulf Oil now?" "Is it really at a critical juncture in such a short time?" A family member asked James Mellon. James Mellon nodded solemnly and said to everyone: "The situation is really bad. The key is that Mesa''s announcement is too inflammatory." "Gulf Oil is our family''s industry. Under normal circumstances, other shareholders will maintain a front line with us, because we can make money with us." "But over the years, the company''s business conditions have gone from bad to worse, which has repeatedly disappointed shareholders. Dissatisfaction has existed for many years." "In 1980, the company''s turnover reached 26.483 billion U.S. dollars, and its net profit was 1.915 billion U.S. dollars, with a net profit margin of 7.23%." "Last year, the company''s turnover reached 31.537 billion U.S. dollars, but its net profit was only 728 million U.S. dollars, and the net profit margin was only 2.3%." "Not only that, although we cleaned up overseas assets, most of the funds returned were used to repurchase stocks to stabilize the stock price. It was indeed effective at the beginning, but now with the decline in international oil prices, the company''s stock price has fallen again, and the market value Since the beginning of this year, it has shrunk more than two billion dollars!" "Although I am very reluctant to face it, in fact, I did make a series of wrong strategic decisions on behalf of the family, so that most of the equity held that their interests were seriously damaged. Not only did the annual dividends decline year by year, but even The value of stocks is also shrinking." "So now the shareholders have lost confidence in us and are unwilling to believe in long-term benefits. They would rather choose to believe in Mesa Petroleum." After listening to the audience, everyone looked solemn, knowing the seriousness of the problem, and able to understand the mentality of other shareholders. Leonard Mellon took the initiative to ask: "James, the equity that our family can control now is 38.6%, which is 11.41% short of more than half of the equity. Do you think it is possible that shareholders who are on our side have voting rights? Is there so much?" A few years ago, the Mellon family¡¯s control of Gulf Oil¡¯s equity was only 26.5%, but thanks to Richard King Mellon¡¯s acquisition of equity, Gulf Oil¡¯s repurchase of equity, and Xia Yu¡¯s acquisition in May this year. With 4.85% of the equity as a dowry gift, the Mellon family¡¯s equity has returned to the level of the 1960s. James Mellon shook his head regretfully and said: "We have to prepare for the worst. Now that Uncle Richard is ill, all the people who were frightened by Uncle Richard are all eager to move. Shareholders may not be willing to continue to follow suit. As we go, the only thing we can rely on is ourselves." "Mesa Oil Company proactively announced that it owns a 10.2% stake, and no one knows how much it secretly controls." "Now we can still refuse him to enter the board of directors, but once they ask for an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and they win over half of the shareholders, then according to the "Articles of Association", it is really possible to realize their claims." "Now that things have just happened, we must make a decision as soon as possible, how to act on earth, and the uncertainty will increase sharply." As soon as he finished talking, other people looked at each other and one of the people said: "The best way is naturally to increase the shareholding. As long as we control the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders, Mesa Oil Company can only withdraw. People can''t help it." "Just according to the current situation, once we increase our shareholding, the stock price will definitely rise. It is conservatively estimated that we need to come up with US$1.2-1.5 billion in funds." "This amount of funds is not too much, and less is not too much. At present, the family should be able to get it easily, but I am afraid that something will happen in other places in the future, and a large amount of funds is urgently needed." "After all, it is as important as the Gulf Oil Company, and there are many even more important companies." Everyone continued to be silent, but James Mellon shrugged and leaned on the sofa. He returned to the family for this purpose. As far as he is concerned, as the chairman of Gulf Oil Company, he definitely hopes that the company will be stable and operate in his hands. But he has no money and can only make the decision by his family. When the patriarch Richard King Mellon was still in a coma, no one could do anything arbitrarily for the time being, so the clansmen of all lines would discuss and vote together. The attitude of most people represents the attitude of the family, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he does not have to bear it. "Let¡¯s think about it tonight, and talk to other tribesmen. Call the people who haven¡¯t come tomorrow morning and have another meeting to make the final decision." Seeing that no one expressed his opinion, Paul Mellon also expressed his understanding. He was the most senior and powerful, so he made the decision directly. Then, he continued to exhort everyone: "Now because of Richard''s illness, the family has turned on the highest state of alert. According to my guess, Gulf Oil''s sniping will not be an exception. There must be many more later. Vicious events are waiting for us." "Everyone has the responsibility to raise funds, and a sufficient flow of funds is our ammunition for defense and counterattack." "You should also be vigilant and pay attention to the trends of your company at all times, and report the situation to your family as soon as you discover the situation to avoid being caught off guard." "James, you have to continue working hard tonight, responsible for contacting those shareholders, figuring out their attitude, and stabilizing them first." James Mellon nodded: "Okay, Uncle Paul." ... The next morning, dozens of members of the Mellon family gathered. After discussions, no one was willing to let their family¡¯s flagship oil company weaken or be taken away, and all supported the increase in equity. Even if the international crude oil price has fallen from its peak in July to a price below US$20, the company''s revenue, net profit and assets are destined to plummet in the next two years! It was just when the Mellon family made a decision and began to increase their holdings. Faced with this situation, how could David Rockefeller, who wanted to annex Gulf Oil, remain indifferent? He had already received the secret news and immediately let people release the news that the Cleveland consortium was secretly acquiring the equity of the steel company under the Mellon consortium. As soon as the news was released, it spread rapidly. Douglas Mather, Reginald Hanna and others couldn''t help but yell when they learned about it. Originally, I was happy that the Mellon Consortium had consumed part of the funds to relieve the pressure on our side. Now we can secretly purchase stocks and catch the Mellon Consortium by surprise. But now being driven by ducks on the shelves, the sight of the Mellon consortium is definitely attracted. Douglas Mather and others are also very decisive ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Since it can''t be hidden, it will directly show the card and immediately initiate a takeover war against the four major steel companies of the Mellon Consortium. Quite a preemptive situation. Suddenly, all the predators staring at the Mellon Consortium were refreshed, and the secret opportunity came. There is no need to communicate privately. These people seem to have a tacit understanding, and they have moved towards the companies under the Mellon Consortium, but most of them are low-key acquisitions. But when everyone is acting together, no matter how low-key, the news can''t be kept away. What''s more, shareholders who hold equity in a certain company want to sell their equity at a higher price. How can they hide the news for the acquirer? As a result, the American business community suddenly became chaotic. The monstrous waves quickly took shape and pressed against the Mellon family! ~: Still working overtime, take a leave tonight To see the fastest updated error-free novels, please remember https://!

Now the major companies under the consortium have been besieged by many powerful enemies. Every member of the Mellon family has a heavy heart, and no one can still have a smile on their face. What they do the most is to constantly call to check the situation of each company, and then launch their full effort to raise funds. What the think tank of the family office has to do is to sort out the current treacherous situation clearly and make a reasonable response plan. Although Sandy is a member of the family, she has been married outside and she is also a woman, so she can only stay out of the game and can''t intervene at all. She certainly doesn''t know the specific situation, but how could she not be able to detect it when she is smart? So she can''t avoid worrying about the family. After visiting her unconscious father again, Sandy, accompanied by Xia Yu, went to the balcony of the corridor and looked out at the garden in the distance. There was a trace of sorrow on her beautiful face. "Sandy, you are pregnant. A negative attitude is not good for your health, and it will also affect our baby''s development." "Things have happened, all we can do is to think in an optimistic direction, everything will be fine." Xia Yu gently embraced Xiandi and comforted gently. Sandi leaned against Xia Yu¡¯s arms and said quietly: "Husband, Dad has devoted all his efforts to the family. I heard other uncles and uncles say that Dad is the best person in the entire United States. With him, the family can be stable. ." "But now my father is suddenly ill, and the family is in big trouble again." "You said that if Dad wakes up, he will be disappointed, right?" Xia Yu was silent. This is destined! The trouble the Mellon family is encountering must have been deduced by Richard King Mellon long ago, and he must be trying his best to avoid it from happening. Who can be blamed for this happening now? Does the blame family have not cultivated a qualified successor? Or is it to blame him for suddenly falling ill and not staying for a few more years? In Xia Yu''s view, the root cause still lies in the cultivation of heirs, and he has not cultivated an heir who can do his own work. But there is no alternative. Although in order to maintain the rule and try to avoid the new ruling class, the United States implements happy education, but all major consortia and families implement elite education. It''s just that a person''s achievement and upper limit are determined by many factors, such as personality, diligence, interest, innate IQ, etc. The acquired education level can only be said to increase the probability of being an elite, and increase part of the upper limit. As for whether the top elites can be cultivated, no one can guarantee. Therefore, the heirs of the major families are arranged in order, and the best person is constantly selected. But unfortunately, the heirs of this generation of Mellon''s family are not good enough. So old Mellon thought of other ways, such as cultivating younger and more potential Leonard and Woodlow, or marrying his daughter Sandy to Xia Yu... The latter point was already clear to Xia Yu. So he came to the United States with Sandy personally and stayed there. And he also let the family office conduct research like that, and also used various resources and funds, which are still lurking now. The reason why he was sitting on the sidelines, what he lacked was an opportunity to intervene in a legitimate way. Now, it depends on whether his ill old husband has left behind. He didn''t want to take the initiative. After all, these are two different properties. ¡­ Throughout the day, the bad news kept coming, and almost all members of the Mellon family were out of breath. The plan to increase the shareholding of Gulf Oil Corporation, which had already started, has also ceased. In the evening, Leonard Mellon dragged his tired body back from Mellon Financial Corporation. Beauty Finance Company is the family''s core financial platform and a company established by the founders of the Mellon family. Leonard Mellon served as the manager of the investment department in it, and he was considered a high-level manager. Mellon Financial Corporation did not experience a crisis. After all, the Mellon family has maintained a cautious approach to this company from beginning to end, leaving no loopholes in the equity. The only way to destroy this company is to mismanage itself, run on and other vicious events, which leads to the break of the capital chain and bankruptcy. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, although Mellon Financial Corporation has raised a large amount of funds urgently, it has not acted rashly. Instead, it continues to sort out risks and non-performing assets, and intends to clear some of it and withdraw funds for stability! When he returned, he also happened to meet his younger brother Woodlow who had just returned from the Bank of New York. "Woodlow, what''s the situation with the Bank of New York?" Seeing his brother''s face looked ugly, Leonard Mellon''s heart sank. Thinking of the equity situation of the Bank of New York, he took the initiative to ask his brother. Although the Bank of New York is the second largest financial core platform of the Mellon Consortium, it is fundamentally different from Mellon Financial Corporation, because this company was acquired, and the Mellon family¡¯s shareholding ratio is far less than that of Mellon Financial Corporation. Shareholding situation. The Bank of New York was founded in 1784 and is one of the oldest banks in the United States. It was personally founded by Hamilton. The stressor Hamilton is a representative of the United States Constituent Assembly and one of the drafters and signatories of the United States Constitution, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, and the founder of the United States political party system. He is the left-hand man of George Washington. During the development process, the Bank of New York successively acquired a series of companies such as New York Life Insurance Trust Company, Fifth Avenue Bank, and Empire Trust Company. It is also in the process of continuous mergers and acquisitions that Richard King Mellon and his father continue to plan to turn the Bank of New York into one of the core financial platforms of the Mellon Consortium. The difference is that the Mellon family¡¯s equity in the Bank of New York is 28.2%, and the other controlled companies of the Mellon consortium collectively hold 27.5%. This adds up to 55.7% of the equity, which the Mellon family can control. . This shareholding ratio is very safe in normal times, but the nature of the 27.5% shareholding is different from the 28.2% shareholding. Once the company holding the Bank of New York equity is out of the control of the Mellon family, it is difficult to say. Because of age issues, even if Woodrow Mellon started relatively high, he was only a middle-level player at the Bank of New York and was still in the tempering stage. "President Archer listened to my opinion. The bank is already clearing some of the funds in order to withdraw the funds, but in the stock market, someone is already buying the company''s stock." "Moreover, some major customers have applied for large withdrawals from the bank." "This has caused some tension within the company." Woodlow Mellon said slowly. "Leonard, where''s your side?" Leonard Mellon said slowly: "It''s okay on my side. Mellon Financial Company is not a commercial savings bank. The family has very strong control over the company. There has been no large-scale withdrawal for the time being." "There is already a problem on your side. I heard that the Pittsburgh National Bank has a bigger problem." "The enemy is launching a siege on us in all directions." Woodrow Mellon nodded solemnly: "Yes, according to the current situation, we really may not be able to resist it." "We have to plan to lose part of the company." Leonard Mellon felt uneasy. He poured a glass of water directly into his mouth when he was upset. A lot of water also flowed down his chin and neck to his chest, wet his clothes. At this moment, Leonard Mellon suddenly remembered something from six months ago. He said to his younger brother Woodlow: "Woodlow, I remember a few months ago, after attending Sandy¡¯s wedding, my dad called us to his study to teach us. At the time, he said, if there is a crisis in the family , And he can¡¯t handle it, he can open the No. 3 safe in his study, which contains the things he left for us.¡± Woodrow Mellon frowned slightly, and he thought about it for a moment. "Go, let''s go to Dad''s study and open it to see what''s in it." The two brothers immediately walked upstairs. Soon he came to Old Mellon''s study and found safe No. 3. They both knew the password of the safe, and Old Mellon had told them before. Soon, safe No. 3 was opened, and there was only one envelope inside. The envelope read "To my dear sons: Leonard, Woodlow." Seeing this line of words, the two brothers were a little delighted, then opened the envelope and took out the letter written in it. "Dear Leonard, Woodlow: Actually, I would rather this letter never be opened by you, because when you see this letter, it proves that I have had an accident and that the family is also in a huge crisis..." "Both of your brothers are very talented. UU reading I have great expectations of you. What you lack is enough time and training..." "If no one in the family can stand up and support the family, then you can go to Xia Yu for help, he will definitely help, he is more reliable than any of our family¡¯s allies now, because only the fully integrated Mellon consortium can give him Help to give him a complete foothold in the United States. Our family loses power. It is only bad for him and no good..." "The most important thing is that he has enough ability and strength. As long as he is willing to help, Morgan and Rockefeller will not be able to crush our family. As long as they do not lose control of the company, I believe that when you grow up, you will be able to revitalize the family again... " "You must have this mentality. If you have to give up some companies, selling to Xia Yu is the best choice for our family." "If you and your family are not sure to make a decision, you can listen to his opinion. He is the only person in the world who amazes me. If God comes to the world, then I believe that he is the incarnation of God." "Father will always love you." "Richard King Mellon, July 5, 1985." v3 Chapter 1385: Brothers together [Íø]Rebirth of the most powerful Heng recommended to all book friends to read: Rebirth of the most powerful Heng stock god, the foundation of the world Chapter 1385 brothers together After reading the handwritten letter left by his father, the two brothers Leonard and Woodlow couldn''t calm down for a long time. It turned out that my father had already anticipated this day. Since when did father attach so much importance to Xia Yu? For the time being, both brothers don''t understand this question. a long time¡­ As the mood gradually calmed down, Leonard carefully put the letter away and locked it back into safe #3. At this time, the voice of the younger brother Woodlow sounded: "Leonard, are we going to show this father''s letter to Uncle Paul, ask him for his opinion, and win his support for us?" Leonard''s heart beat for a moment, but after thinking for a few seconds, he looked directly at his brother Woodlow, shook his head and said, "Woodlow, we can''t tell Uncle Paul until the last moment." why? " Woodlow blurted out and asked, puzzled. Leonarda took his brother to the sofa and sat down, and said earnestly: "Woodlow, you should know that although the head of the Rockefeller family is David Rockefeller, it is actually a dual core, and the other core is Lawrence. Rockefeller." "Father''s letter also said that he has great expectations of us. Why hasn''t the real heir been determined for so long? The problem is that no one is competent and our brothers and uncles are not entirely suitable." "Over the years, my father has been trying our best to train us, and we have also tried not to let him down, but we still lack enough achievements to establish prestige and gain the support of the entire family, so my father did not forcefully determine the heir." "In his letter, from the beginning to the end, we only asked us to ask our brother-in-law Xia Yu for help, but he didn''t mention Uncle Paul in a word. I believe my father would never have this omission. He just doesn''t want us to find this way. Uncle Paul." "The crisis that broke out this time is also an opportunity for both of us. If we can really persuade other tribesmen to gain the support of Uncle Paul and lead the family out of the crisis, then we are qualified to be the core of the family." "We are still young and there is a lot of room for improvement. Whether you are the patriarch or I am the patriarch, it is actually not the most important thing. Following the Rockefeller family, it is our life''s mission to grow the family." Woodlow nodded solemnly, "Leonard, you are right. We should establish our prestige on the premise of helping the family get out of the crisis." "Your experience is richer than mine. This matter is dominated by you. Starting today, Lawrence Rockefeller is my growth goal." Leonard was so touched that he hugged his brother Woodlow on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Woodlow!" Woodlawn smiled carelessly: "This is what I should do, the family is the most important, isn''t it?" "Ok!" "Tomorrow, we will go to Xia Yu." "Take a good rest tonight, and you will have a clear mind tomorrow." Leonard smiled and nodded, and told his brother. "Ok." ¡­ Xia Yu and Sandy also live in the Mellon family, and they live in Sandy''s previous room. The next morning, when Xia Yu and Sandy finished their breakfast and were about to go for a walk in the garden, Leonard and Woodlow walked directly towards them and said straightforwardly: "Xia Yu, we have something to ask you. Please tell me about the crisis the family is facing now." Xia Yu secretly said, "East wind is coming," a faint smile appeared on his face: "No problem." "Where shall we talk?" "Go upstairs." After Leonard finished speaking, the four of them walked towards the second floor and came to a room for discussion. In order to avoid accidents, in the face of Xia Yu and his sister Sandy was there, Leonard chose to tell the truth, stating that it was his father''s meaning: "Xia Yu, now our family is in crisis, you should also know that my father I left a letter before so that we can ask you for advice, and we need your help now." Sure enough, hearing what Old Mellon meant, Xia Yu obviously felt that Sandy held his hand more strongly, but fortunately Sandy did not agree. Xia Yu nodded slightly: "I know a lot of the situation, but I don''t know the most detailed information. I need more reliable information to be able to make appropriate opinions." "For example, what assets does the Mellon family have, what assets does the consortium have, the amount of funds raised and the upper limit, etc." Leonard nodded: "It should be, let me tell you." "The problem that has been discovered now..." Following Leonard''s talk, Xia Yu listened quietly, and compared the information he said with the information he had, and found that the overlap reached 70%. The remaining 30%, of course, is the confidential information of the Mellon family, such as the actual number of shares held by the Mellon family in a certain company and so on. This information can''t be found even by snares, and the US intelligence agencies will certainly not be able to thoroughly figure it out. This kind of confidentiality is what a family relies on for survival, and it is also the most critical back hand, and it can be reversed in many cases. Of course, Xia Yu also knew that what Leonard said was definitely incomplete. Maybe he still didn''t know it, or he deliberately chose to keep some things he didn''t think necessary. But no matter what, this information alone is already very precious. After Leonard finished speaking, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head and said with emotion: "It seems that after other family consortiums have determined that his father-in-law is ill, no one in the Mellon family can support the overall situation and can be slaughtered." According to Leonard''s account, in addition to the companies controlled by the Mellon family, all other companies have changed. The difference is just not obvious. This is true for the Mellon family, not to mention the entire Mellon consortium that unites other families and shareholders with the Mellon family as the core. The Mellon family is the backbone of the towering tree of the Mellon Consortium. Now the trunk is on fire everywhere, and the other members are panicking. It is not impossible to take the initiative or be forced to change the door. The current situation of Gulf Oil Company is the most typical example. In terms of funding, the Mellon family¡¯s emergency fundraising has reached 8.3 billion U.S. dollars, half of which are funds mobilized by banks. According to Leonard''s account, the Mellon family is still raising funds urgently, and US$8.3 billion will certainly not be the upper limit. "Xia Yu, UU Reading is like this. What do you think is best for us now?" Facing the eyes of the three people, Xia Yu said without hesitation: "Now there is a war of flames everywhere. Your funds can''t hold all the companies at all. You must give up part of it and concentrate your efforts to stabilize the foundation." "Otherwise, the consequence will be to lose control of most companies, and the Mellon family will have to rely on dividends to survive in the future and lose the highest level of influence." This view is also the main point of view within the Mellon family. But here comes the problem. Which companies should we give up and which companies should we keep? "Xia Yu, we know the truth, but what assets should we give up?" ps: It¡¯s really Cavan. I opened this plot line and found that it¡¯s difficult to move, company relations are mixed, and each family consortium has its own mind, and it¡¯s too difficult to write about it. ..

Web mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1386: Prepare for large-scale takeover [Íø] The most powerful hero of rebirth "Leonard, in fact, which companies should be abandoned, which companies should be retained, it seems very complicated, after all, the Mellon consortium owns too many companies and equity." "But in fact, it''s very simple. Divide the assets into several levels and you know how to deal with them." After Xia Yu smiled and finished speaking, the brothers Leonard and Woodlow refreshed and looked at him with scorching eyes. "Is it divided according to core assets, backbone assets and investment assets?" The younger Woodlow couldn''t help asking. Xia Yu shook his head and said, "It is not just this conventional method of distinction. In this special period, stability is required, and it must be considered for the next few years." "So we have to combine health assets, risk assets, and serious non-performing assets to classify." "Of course, there is another prerequisite, that is, the value and financial investment assets must be taken out separately and not included in these three levels." This is more meaningful, and Xia Yu is not in a hurry, just waiting quietly for Leonard and Woodlow to sort out their ideas. a long time. The older Leonard gradually figured it out. He frowned and asked Xia Yu: "You mean, if a core asset is a non-performing asset or a risk asset, it should be given up?" Xia Yu grinned and gave Leonard an admiring look: "Yes, that''s what it means." After getting the affirmative answer, Leonard''s brows wrinkled deeper. Xia Yu knew why he was entangled, so he whispered: "Leonard, you have to know that the times are changing. Any industry has a cycle. It cannot always be a sunrise industry. If you do not seek change, it will only Being dragged down brings risks to the entire consortium." "Of course, some industries do not belong to the sunset industry, but the types of companies under the Mellon Consortium have poor operating conditions. If you can''t see good results in the short term, you can choose to give up. This is not a pity. Self-preservation is more important." "For you now, you don''t have so much time to get those risky assets or bad assets back to health!" Upon hearing Xia Yu''s words, one company after another came up in the minds of Leonard and Woodlow. These companies are in line with Xia Yu''s opinion. Such as Gulf Oil Company, Chester''s Pennsylvania Shipyard, Philadelphia''s Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Amco Steel Company, National Steel Company, Huiling-Pittsburgh Steel Company, Allegheny-Ledrum Industries, etc. Etc., these core companies belong to the ranks of risky assets or non-performing assets, but they are all core companies of the consortium. The original net profit margin of Gulf Oil Company was extremely low, only a few percent. Now the international crude oil price plummeted in the second half of the year, which will bring a series of bad effects to Gulf Oil Company. It is basically certain that it will lose money this year and next year. Up. Pennsylvania Shipyard and Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, although ranked tenth and fifteenth in the U.S. shipbuilding field, respectively. Both military and civilian use are involved, but the civilian shipbuilding field has been losing money, and military ship orders are not so easy to grab. . Once the Mellon consortium weakens, it will be difficult for these two shipyards to win orders from the Navy. The huge employee compensation will cause the two major shipyards to lose money or even go bankrupt in a short time, so these two shipyards must be included in risk assets. And bad assets. The four major steel companies are even more so. Although they are the core companies of the consortium, the U.S. manufacturing industry is sluggish, and the nation¡¯s steel production capacity is overcapacity. These years have been on the verge of loss. ¡­ "If you really want to move these core companies, the family''s opinions will be very big." Leonard said bitterly. Xia Yu smiled: "It depends on how you persuade the family members and test their ability to distinguish right from wrong." Leonard and Woodlow looked at each other and said helplessly, "It can only be done like this." "It''s just that there is another critical issue." "If you really want to deal with it this way, the sum of the risky assets and non-performing assets, as well as the value and financial investment assets, is very large, and it is difficult to find a buyer in a short time." "And now in this special period, even if there are buyers, they will desperately lower prices, and our losses will be great." Xia Yu didn''t hide it, and said straightforwardly: "If you really list all these assets, you can show me first. I can buy the next part according to the situation, or I can buy it with other friends to help the Mellon family." "The price will definitely not be deliberately lowered, and will be based on the actual price. I can guarantee that." As soon as Xia Yu¡¯s voice fell, Sandy, who had been quiet, said to his older brother Leonard and younger brother Woodlow: ¡°If these asset families give up and deal with it this way, it should be the best choice for the family. After all, we are all one family." Sandy¡¯s statement is the same as that written in his father Richard King Mellon¡¯s letter. Leonard and Woodlow certainly support it. It¡¯s better to be bought by the enemy if the fertilizer doesn¡¯t flow into the field. These assets are in the hands of Xia Yu or his friends. When the Mellon Consortium companies want to cooperate, the difficulty will be very low. "We definitely don''t have any objections, and if the family discusses it, I will bring it up." Leonard nodded his head and asked another question. "By the way, Xia Yu, I have another question. If these assets are cleared, how can I use the funds to achieve the greatest effect?" "For example, our family funds and consortium-level funds, how should we best use them?" This question is related to the core handling strategy of this crisis. After Xia Yu pondered for a long time, he said to the two of them: "In fact, if there is enough time, a cross-shareholding structure like the six major consortiums of the island nation is very suitable, but now the enemy will not give us so much time." "So I recommend making full use of the financial platform." "The Mellon family¡¯s own funds withdrawn from circulation have made every effort to increase their holdings in Mellon Financial Corporation, Bank of New York, National Bank of Pittsburgh and General Reinsurance Company. They are also willing to purchase at a premium or inject capital into the company through private placement. " "As long as the four major financial platforms are firmly controlled, the amount of funds that can be called will be huge." "The assets held by these four major financial platforms can be dealt with according to the previously mentioned strategy, and after the funds are withdrawn, they can increase their holdings of the company''s equity that they want to retain." "As long as there are no problems with these four financial companies, then this crisis can be passed smoothly, and there will be time later to slowly reorganize the structure." "Of course, from then on, the voice of the Mellon family and the entire consortium will also gather in the hands of the heads of these four major financial companies." Leonard and Woodlow looked at each other subconsciously, and a series of thoughts popped up in their minds. "Xia Yu, thank you!" "I know what to do, please wait for our news then." Leonard solemnly thanked Xia Yu. "No thanks, we are a family." Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a faint smile. After that, Leonard and Woodlow hurriedly left. "Husband, thank you." Sandi said gratefully, leaning against Xia Yu''s arms. "Sandy, this is what I should do. Don''t worry, this crisis will pass. Your mentality will be more sunny, you know?" "For you, and for our children." Xia Yu said softly. "Yeah, I will." Sandy tapped her head obediently. ¡­ After taking a walk with Sandy in the garden, the two went to the hospital to visit Old Mellon. Afterwards, Xia Yu took some time and gave instructions to Huo Jianning who was staying in Xiangjiang through a secret channel. Order various regional consortia and companies to mobilize funds, especially Polaris Capital, to make every effort to be ready to attack the Cleveland consortium at any time.

Leonard finished speaking, subconsciously slowing down his breathing, waiting for Paul Mellon''s attitude. After consulting Xia Yu, the Leonard and Woodlow brothers got together and rearranged a rough plan. After confirming that there were no omissions, they found uncle Paul Mellon for the first time and explained their ideas to him. "Is this what you thought of?" Paul Mellon looked at Leonard and Woodlow in amazement, and asked in a serious tone. "Not exactly, but most of it was thought of by the two of us. The think tank also added some opinions, and I joined them if I thought it was appropriate." Leonard didn''t change his face when he talked about the lie, and his mentality was called a steady state. Woodlow also remained calm, and calmly faced Paul Mellon''s scrutiny gaze and nodded. Paul Mellon can only choose to believe that it was the idea of ??two nephews, who have such a broad view of the overall situation and powerful logical thinking. He lowered his head to look at the plan in his hand again, turned it over for another ten minutes, and then asked another question: "Are you sure you can persuade Xia Yu to help?" "Does he have such a strong strength?" Leonard nodded affirmatively: "Yes, before attacking the Canadian financial market, my father worked with Xia Yu. I don''t know if my father told you that, anyway, we witnessed the whole process." "At that time, the Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, Chicago Consortium, and other Wall Street capital and international capital all participated, but our family and Xia Yu were the biggest beneficiaries, and the strength of the Rohill family in Canada was severely damaged. ." "Father also baptized our hearts and minds through the resumption of the war, and we have also grown a lot." Paul Mellon knew about this matter, the general process and results, but he didn''t know the details. When Leonard said this, Paul Mellon''s interest came. He took the initiative to say: "Leonard, Woodlow, you two tell me about the more specific process at that time." "Okay, let me talk about it first, and Woodlow will add something later." "It was like this..." Leonard talked about the incident, and Paul Mellon listened very carefully. Of course, he also used the narration of Leonard and Woodlow to understand their thinking ability. After all, even if some things are known, if they want to come back up again, they still need extremely strong ability. Incompetent people can''t grasp the key points, and the organization of the story is not clear. After Leonard and Woodlow finished speaking, Paul Mellon was silent. He thought for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, and said to Leonard and Woodlow who looked forward to his eyes: "Leonard, Woodlow, I support your plan, and call the tribe to have another meeting in the evening." "I will propose that you two take the lead." "Uncle Paul, thank you!" After getting this answer, Leonard and Woodlow smiled happily and thanked Paul Mellon in unison. "Don''t thank me, everything we do is for the family." Paul Mellon said with a serious face. "We understand that the prosperity of the family is the foundation of our survival." Leonard said solemnly. ¡­ In the evening, Paul Mellon once again convened a meeting with all the responsible persons to discuss this plan. Leonard and Woodlow were in the limelight, and everyone looked at them with admiration. With the support of Paul Mellon, except for a small number of people with reservations, most people expressed their full support. Even James Mellon, the chairman of Gulf Oil Company, had no choice but to compromise and agreed to abandon Gulf Oil Company. Leonard and Woodlow took the lead in gaining an advantage in the inheritance of the Mellon family''s power. As for whether the family can gain power, it depends on whether this crisis can be handled properly! Early the next morning, Leonard ventilated with Xia Yu and asked Xia Yu to mobilize funds as soon as possible, and called friends to trade some of the Mellon Consortium¡¯s assets. In order to raise funds as soon as possible, in the process of asset transfer. The Mellon family will fully cooperate, and will not make a fuss about assets and data, everything is fast. The effect of this is obvious. Only two days. Just when the Gulf Oil Company was in panic, a piece of news came out, causing an uproar in the market. Pacific Oil Company publicly announced that it holds 38.6% of the shares of Gulf Oil Company, and the voting rights will continue to be held by Chairman James Mellon. All the equity held by the Mellon family has been transferred, and the specific price has not been announced. If the Mellon family¡¯s equity transfer is a blockbuster, then what happened immediately afterwards made more people dumbfounded, including Boone Pickens of Mesa Oil Company who wanted to blackmail. James Mellon convened the board of directors and proposed that he was willing to comply with public opinion and divide Gulf Oil into two. Half of the oil and gas reserves were included in the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company", and the remaining half of the oil and gas reserves, plus the entire The refineries, transportation and sales departments of the industry chain still belong to Gulf Oil Company. And in order to better give back to investors, Pacific Oil Company, the largest shareholder, is willing to give up most of the shares of Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company and replace it with more shares of Gulf Oil Company! For this proposal, the board of directors voted to pass it. After the news was announced, investors who were brainwashed by Mesa Oil Company''s views cheered, and their favor with the newly emerging Pacific Oil Company greatly increased. But very few people know that Mesa Oil Company is playing off! Once Pacific Petroleum Corporation concentrates all its equity in the replacement of the new Gulf Oil Corporation, the shareholding ratio will increase to more than 60%. Excluding the stocks of scattered investors, then in the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors, Pacific Petroleum can easily exceed two-thirds of the vote. At that time, the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company will be directly seized by the Gulf Oil Company. Even if there is oil and gas, the expulsion has to be transported, refining, processing, and selling. The Gulf Oil Company itself has half of its oil and gas assets. If the situation is not good enough to reduce production, it must be the priority to reduce the oil and gas fields of the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company. The management right is held by the Gulf Oil Company. Unless the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company becomes a young man, someone holds the vast majority of the shares and breaks away from the Gulf Oil Company. But at that time, there were only assets in oil and gas fields, and you had to find a backer. Acquisition might be the best way. Pacific Petroleum does not care about these oil and gas field assets. There are not many other oil and gas fields. What it lacks is only other links in the entire oil industry chain. With the annexation of the Gulf Oil Company, part of the huge oil and gas reserves can be injected into it, step by step, and fully controlled, and then the oil and gas field resources can be used. The position of the world''s seven largest oil companies is still well deserved! ¡­ Among the Rockefeller family. After understanding the entire process, Rao was the mentality of David Rockefeller, and couldn''t help being annoyed. "BOSS, shall we continue to acquire shares in Gulf Oil?" "If we buy, the equity will also be replaced with equity in Gulf Oil & Gas Trust." Rohr Lawrence, chairman of Exxon Petroleum Company, asked entangledly. "If we continue to acquire, we can only take a step back. We must acquire Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company. Gulf Oil Company has half of its oil and gas reserves. If these assets are lost, Gulf Oil Company will definitely fall out of the top ten camp in the industry." David Rockefeller said with a sullen face. "Go to Mesa Petroleum, teach Boone Pickens a lesson, buy their equity, and you must keep the price down!" When he said this, David Rockefeller couldn''t help but snorted. UU reading In his opinion, if it were not for the Mesa Oil Company to suddenly jump out and fool around, with the strength of the Rockefeller consortium, it would definitely be able to seize control of the Gulf Oil Company in one fell swoop and force the Mellon consortium to give up and finally achieve a complete annexation. Now that the clown of Mesa Oil Company has done so, the opportunity is completely lost! Some lessons must be given to Boone Pickens! "I understand, I will execute it now." Roll Lawrence replied obediently. "Go ahead." After sending Rol Lawrence away, David Rockefeller spent a long time on the sofa, and then called an assistant to ask him to use resources to investigate the changes in the Mellon family and the amount of equity transactions in Gulf Oil. Now that there was such an accident, David Rockefeller realized that the situation was out of control. The Gulf Oil Company flies, so other goals must be won, otherwise I am sorry for such a good opportunity! v3 Chapter 1388: Asset sale The 38.6% equity of Gulf Oil Company was bought by Pacific Oil Company for a total of 4 billion U.S. dollars. Originally it was less than four billion U.S. dollars, but Xia Yu was not short of the millions of U.S. dollars, so he rounded up directly. This funding, of course, all comes from the Galaxy Fund. After all, Pacific Oil Company is not owned by any consortium, and naturally does not move the funds of those banks. Moreover, this time to take over the assets of the Mellon Consortium, the funds that need to be used are very large, and those who need to use the bank''s financial assistance. Although the major banks have mobilized a lot of funds to support financial companies to do more pounds, yen and stock markets in various countries. However, after the old Mellon fell ill, Xia Yu ordered various financial companies to change and find other external banks to allocate part of their capital so that their major banks could raise funds. In this way, you only need to pay a portion of the margin and pay interest, and you can use the funds of other banks without the need for substantial collateral, which is the most convenient and quickest. To talk about the cost, it is nothing more than exposing some of the long actions and accepting the supervision of other banks. However, considering the general trend of the global financial environment, it doesn''t matter if you do more anyway, it doesn''t matter if you expose a part, it can''t pull hatred, and there is no risk. With these four billion U.S. dollars, the Mellon family has more than ten billion U.S. dollars. At this moment, the Mellon family has a lot of confidence. In contrast to the previous stance of concession, they frequently attacked the capital market. The purpose is the equity of New York City, Pittsburgh National Bank and General Reinsurance Company. Moreover, the Mellon family is totally unreasonable and arrogant. If the premium is three-tier, it will be five-tier. If someone comes to grab it, it will double. Anyway, it is inevitable! Many original shareholders have fallen under the Mellon family''s dollar offensive. No way, it is too much! At the same time, the Mellon family is constantly supplying ammunition and selling off assets. Xia Yu didn''t reveal his relationship with the Polaris Consortium, only that he was his ally. As for how the Mellon family would guess, that was their business. Since Polaris Capital acquired Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo has never stopped its mergers and acquisitions. And the target of mergers and acquisitions is not for those banks that are very difficult to acquire, but to take the bottom line and target those community retail banks in each state. The influence of these banks is still limited in each state. Deposits are mainly from residents. Because of their strength problems, they lack high-yield investment channels. Therefore, they have empty assets, but their annual operating profits are not good. And Wells Fargo is backed by Polaris Capital, and Xia Yu is behind it. There is no such thing as having no place to use funds. Therefore, Wells Fargo bought a community bank, which is called a fierce. In just a few years, Wells Fargo has become a well-deserved nationwide bank through continuous mergers and acquisitions. How fierce is it? Fifty-seven local community banks were acquired in five years! Bank assets are the third in the United States to exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars! More than Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Guarantee Trust Company. In terms of assets, it is second only to First Citibank and Bank of America! The total deposits of depositors also exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars, more than First Citibank and several billion U.S. dollars less than Bank of America. Next to Wells Fargo, there are Toronto-Dominion Bank of Canada, Northern Trust Bank of the United States, and East West Bank. Together, these three banks and Wells Fargo have bank assets of up to 200 billion U.S. dollars. Therefore, although the liquidity of the Polaris Consortium is not comparable to the Rockefeller Consortium, which has hundreds of financial companies, it is also comparable to the First Citibank Consortium. With so much capital in hand, it is not too easy to acquire the assets of the Mellon Consortium. US$210 million to take over the well-known chain pharmacy chain in the United States, and the second largest chain pharmacy chain in the United States. US$570 million to take over 19.3% of the equity of Bergen Bruceweig, a large American pharmaceutical retail and health insurance service company. This company is the core enterprise of the California consortium and was previously infiltrated by the Mellon consortium. 140 million US dollars, took over 22.8% of the shares of Mylan, a large generic drug company listed in 1973. This company is the second largest generic drug company in the world, and it is only now emerging. US$220 million to take over an 18.7% stake in Comcast, Pennsylvania¡¯s largest cable, broadband network and IP phone service provider. 1.07 billion U.S. dollars, took over 15.7% of the US Sun Oil Company. This 99-year-old company is a comprehensive group. In addition to being the second largest base oil service company and the third largest motor oil producer in the United States, it is also involved in chemical, coal, real estate and other industries. The U.S. dollar acquired Texas Pacific Petroleum Corporation, and in 1984 it even entered China, forming a joint venture with Sinopec to establish China Sun Petroleum Corporation. Buying a 14.2% stake in Hershey, the largest chocolate and confectionery company in North America, for US$390 million. US$320 million bought 16.1% of the well-known Heinz company in the United States. This company is a century-old company in the nutritional food field. Later generations were acquired by Buffett and 3G Capital for US$28 billion. There are also 13.7% of American Air Products Co., Ltd., 16.3% of PPG Industries, and 24.2% of American Crown Holdings in the industrial field. The three companies are large companies in the fields of industrial gases and coatings, coatings and specialty materials and glass fibers, industrial packaging and equipment. In addition, there are 12.2% of PPL Corporation (Pennsylvania Power Company) and 11.7% of Lincoln National Group in the financial sector. These six companies together cost 1.19 billion US dollars. None of these companies are the core companies of the Mellon Consortium, but are value investment assets. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Mellon consortium has the intention to annex these companies in the future. Unfortunately, with the advent of this crisis, the Mellon family had to abandon these unimplemented plans. They chose to sell the shares of these companies and exchange them for $4.11 billion to recover their blood. In addition to the sale of equity assets for value investment, the Mellon family also sold a 70.4% stake in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, the 15th largest in the United States, to Wells Fargo at a price of 1.03 billion U.S. dollars. In another Pennsylvania shipyard, the tenth largest in the United States, the Mellon family left a 33.4% stake and sold a 31.7% stake to Wells Fargo for a sale price of $600 million. Leaving this equity proves that the Mellon family has not given up, but Xia Yu is also happy to do so. In this way, the Pennsylvania Shipyard is backed by the Polaris Consortium and the Mellon Consortium. Combining the power of the two consortiums, it is much easier to compete for orders for U.S. Navy warships and submarines. UU Reading . com may be in a few years, and Pennsylvania Shipyard''s ranking may be in the top five. As for the steel sector, the Mellon consortium sold all its assets. The wholly-owned Huiling-Pittsburgh Steel Company sold for $3.1 billion. Allegheny-Ledrum Industries, a well-known company in the field of special steel, sold 90.4% of its shares for US$2.84 billion. The 33.5% stake in Amco Steel was sold for US$1.61 billion. The 34.7% stake of National Steel Company was sold for US$1.25 billion. The four companies sold a total of 8.8 billion U.S. dollars. Together with other assets sold, the Mellon Consortium has taken a total of US$14.54 billion from the Polaris Consortium. After a intensive transaction, the Mellon Consortium''s liquidity exceeded 30 billion U.S. dollars at once, and the confidence was all at once. Just because of the acquisition of these four steel companies, the Polaris Consortium has just joined the Cleveland Consortium! v3 Chapter 1389: Polaris consortium being targeted "Damn Wells Fargo!" "Damn the Polaris Consortium!" Douglas Mather and Reginald Hannah gathered together again, and Reginald Hannah, who was relatively grumpy, scolded angrily. Although the other people did not speak, it can be seen from their ugly faces that their mood was also very bad at this time. The expected scene of Mellon Consortium resistance or strong counterattack did not appear. Instead, the Mellon consortium sold their coveted company very casually. However, it is the North Star Consortium in the west that is the only one who is in the market! They tried their best and even took the risk of being specially targeted by the Mellon consortium to initiate an acquisition, but gave the Polaris consortium a wedding dress. How can Douglas Mather and others not be annoyed? The Polaris consortium slapped each of them directly. "We have become clowns. Before we came, I received a phone call specifically to laugh at me." Sam Eaton said with a black face. The target he is responsible for is the National Steel Company, a company run by the Eaton family. 166 Under his efforts, although the Mellon consortium has not yet been settled, he has bought 7.4% of the shares from other shareholders, increasing his shareholding in the National Steel Company to 38.2%. But now the Mellon Consortium has sold 34.7% of its shares to Wells Fargo Bank. With the size of Wells Fargo Bank, the third largest bank in the United States, one bank can suspend the size of the financial company of the entire Cleveland consortium. Want to get back equity from Wells Fargo? It''s difficult! It''s as difficult as climbing! Anyway, Sam Eaton has no confidence. The aggressive Wells Fargo would be fine if it doesn''t point its gun at them. "My situation is even worse!" Kenneth Humphrey sighed, his face full of helplessness. Amco Steel is the largest steel company. The Cleveland Consortium only holds 34.1% of the shares. Except for the Mellon Consortium, which holds 33.5%, the other pole is the Rockefeller Consortium. The shareholders of the Rockefeller Consortium have a combined shareholding of 27.3%. None of the shareholders on the Rockefeller Consortium side let go. They made it clear that they had received instructions from the top and wanted to be nailed to Amco Steel. The 33.5% equity held by the Mellon Consortium has also flown away, and their acquisition plan here can be directly declared a failure. "Now everyone discuss what to do." "All targets in the steel sector have been robbed. We don''t know how much liquidity the Mellon consortium actually has." "I can''t grab the equity of Pittsburgh National Bank at all. The Mellon family is fighting for it at any cost." "The Mellon family originally had an absolute advantage, and now they have sufficient funds, we have no chance of success." Douglas Mather looked sad. At his level, he has rarely experienced failure. I have to say that it feels like failure...it''s uncomfortable. "Forget it, we have failed." Sam Eaton sighed and tore open the scar directly, trying to make everyone accept the reality calmly. "The Mellon Consortium, which holds ample funds, is now very aggressive. Their battle lines have shrunk and their strength has gathered a lot. We can''t resist it." "There are also the powerful Polaris consortium in the financial field to assist them. If we really want to continue, the danger is us." "It''s just that I am puzzled, what is going on inside the Mellon family?" "I thought that Richard King Mellon had fallen, and the Mellon family had no successor, but now it seems that there are still elites with sophisticated skills in the Mellon family, and every move is not lost to Richard King. Mellon!" Kenneth Humphrey touched his beard subconsciously and guessed: "Could it be Paul Mellon?" "In the Mellon family, he has the most assets. After Richard King Mellon fell ill, he was also the oldest, and his right to speak must be the greatest." Douglas Mather shook his head: "It doesn¡¯t have to be him. Although Paul Mellon is capable, he is not a person with such a strong courage. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Richard King Mellon to become the No. The head of three generations." "Now the Mellon family is very decisive. Many assets say you don''t want it. It''s not like Paul Mellon''s style at all." "Obviously, the Mellon family wants to firmly control the four major financial cores, and even Gulf Oil has taken the initiative to sell it. Even if Richard King Mellon is here, they may not necessarily make this decision." "Well, everyone, don''t discuss the Mellon family." "The goals we wanted, except for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, have all been in the hands of the Polaris Consortium." "Let''s face these issues first." "My opinion is that you can''t give up easily!" As soon as these words came out, the other three looked solemn. After a while, Kenneth Humphrey questioned: "Douglas, you mean to fight the Polaris Consortium?" Douglas Mather said without hesitation: "Yes!" "The Polaris consortium took our prey so easily, we can''t just leave it alone." "Think about it, everyone. From the moment they took over, the Polaris Consortium has become our most direct competitor." "They have complete control of Allegheny-Ledrum Industries and Huiling-Pittsburgh Steel Company, and we can also completely control the two steel companies." "In Amco Steel and National Steel, there is not much difference between our strengths." 78ÖÐÎÄÍø "But there is still the question of who is leading the market. If we don''t have an attitude, then the Polaris consortium will definitely get an inch and squeeze our voice and the market." "It''s better to take advantage of their unsteady footing and fight with them first, and let the Polaris consortium know how good we are." "Even if these companies cannot be bought in the end, that will prevent the Polaris consortium from arbitrarily acting in the future." Reginald Hannah said without hesitation: "I agree with Douglas, we really can''t just let it go, we must show our attitude." "Otherwise, our Cleveland consortium will always be the laughing stock of others." "The newly emerging Polaris consortium is still under us. If we do not act, they will step on our heads!" Kenneth Humphrey and Sam Eaton looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Then what should we do?" Sam Eaton asked Douglas Mather on his own initiative. "We can try to get Wells Fargo to spit out the swallowed company!" Douglas Mather narrowed his eyes and sneered. The three of them suddenly became energetic and looked at him with scorching eyes. Just listen to Douglas Mather slowly saying: "Although we don''t know how much money Wells Fargo actually spent, we can estimate the approximate amount!" "Huiling-Pittsburgh Steel and Allegheny-Ledrum Industries, two companies, according to our original assessment, are both worth more than US$3 billion." "National Steel Company is worth more than 3.5 billion U.S. dollars." "Amco Steel Company is worth nearly 5 billion U.S. dollars. UU Reading " "Even if the Mellon Consortium does not sell at a premium, if you want to fully take over the equity held by the Mellon Consortium, Wells Fargo needs at least 8 billion U.S. dollars!" "At the same time, Wells Fargo has also taken over a large amount of assets from the Mellon Consortium. We conservatively estimate that these assets are worth three billion US dollars." "So we can estimate that Wells Fargo has spent at least 11 billion U.S. dollars in funds!" "This money occupies one-tenth of Wells Fargo Bank''s bank assets!" "Ten percent of the amount of liquidity, this ratio is extremely high, anyway, under normal circumstances, the banks of our consortium will not maintain such a high liquidity ratio." "So can we guess that Wells Fargo''s capital chain is already tight?" At the end, Douglas Mather showed a sullen expression on his face. The other three were all awakened. If you think about it carefully, it''s really possible! "Yes, Douglas'' analysis is likely to be the truth." "If we make trouble for Wells Fargo, maybe Wells Fargo will have to spit out the assets we eat in our mouths." "Even... we might reach into Wells Fargo Bank!" Kenneth Humphrey touched his beard, the more he analyzed, the more he smiled. "Once Wells Fargo has problems, the Polaris consortium will definitely be nervous." "We don''t know how the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium will react, but the California consortium will never miss the opportunity to attack the Polaris consortium." "After all, the Polaris consortium has risen in California, and it has seized too much interest from the California consortium..." If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1390: Wells Fargo was hacked Chapter 1390 In fact, Wells Fargo does not always have more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in liquidity. In the past, when you were long the yen, the British pound and other currencies, and short the US dollar, the funds entering the market were basically the capital used. The main purpose is just to preserve the value of funds. But this time, I was going to take over the assets of the Mellon Consortium, withdraw the funds in a short period of time, and found other financial companies to cooperate with them through leveraged capital allocation. It''s just that these businesses are relatively secretive, and the partners will not yell everywhere, so as not to discredit their own reputation, no company will dare to cooperate in the future. Douglas Mather and others are of course not clear. And over the years, Wells Fargo has acquired so many banks. The assets originally held by the acquired banks have been transferred to the bank¡¯s asset management department. Xia Yu once discussed Wells Fargo''s plan with Peter Lynch, and the latter has always followed and implemented it. Therefore, over the years, non-performing loans have been dealt with at low prices and stopped losses in a timely manner, and some non-strategic lending cooperation has been recovered after the loan has expired and will not be renewed. Wells Fargo¡¯s funds mainly provide consumer loans and small loans for individuals, and then provide financial support for companies under the Polaris consortium. . However, most of the companies in the Polaris Consortium are companies with great potential that Xia Yu has tapped. Under the premise of not conducting mergers and acquisitions, they generally only provide the initial expansion funds, and these companies can form an internal virtuous circle. Therefore, Wells Fargo Bank put a lot of funds into the asset management department in order to keep the funds from being idle for asset investment gains. Futures, stocks, bonds, etc. are all involved. This time, to take over the assets of the Mellon Consortium, Wells Fargo will sell a lot of funds in advance and return a lot of funds. Regarding these operations, there is of course no need to make public announcements. Therefore, this made Douglas Mather misjudged that Wells Fargo''s capital chain was really tight! Douglas Mather¡¯s methods are simple, crude and clumsy, but very effective. That is to let the media question Wells Fargo¡¯s capital chain problem and directly make the matter bigger. It caused panic among depositors and pushed Wells Fargo to the forefront! After all, since the bankruptcy of Bowen Square Bank in 1982, there have been bank failures one after another, and the failure of the mainland Illinois Bank, a large bank, pushed the wave of bankruptcy to a peak and triggered a series of bad effects. Especially in May of this year, the failure of the Maryland State Savings and Credit Agency ultimately resulted in the loss of US$185 million to the Maryland State Deposit Insurance Fund and taxpayers. Within a month, many banks in Ohio went bankrupt, which directly led to the bankruptcy of the Ohio Deposit Insurance Fund! The banking situation in other states is also relatively sluggish. So that in August, the US Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation''s original insurance fund of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, only 4.6 billion U.S. dollars remained. So much so that Gray, the chairman of the National Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Company, tried to win support for the company''s capital injection in Congress! Therefore, the nerves of many depositors have long been tense. Early in the morning of November 15th. The Cleveland News, the largest in the Cleveland region, issued a piece of news questioning Wells Fargo''s huge operating risks. The report is not a rhetoric, but it seems to be justified. The report also listed a series of recent acquisitions by Wells Fargo, which consumed up to tens of billions of dollars in capital and was very disorderly in asset investment. Moreover, Wells Fargo, as the third largest bank in the United States, is still unlisted. The author questioned the operating status of Wells Fargo... The whole article is written in a worried, for the country and the people''s tone, which is extremely provocative and contagious. That morning, after many readers in Cleveland read the newspaper, many people were deceived. Some relatively cautious depositors or companies began to apply for funding. A reporter from the newspaper specially took a picture of the crowds at a Wells Fargo branch in Cleveland. That night, the "Cleveland Evening News" put this photo on the front page and wrote a great book about this phenomenon. At the same time, some newspapers outside of Ohio also reported the news artificially. And in order to avoid responsibility as much as possible, these evening papers directly reproduced the "Cleveland News" report very systematically. This set of little moves is done. Things got big quickly! In fact, when the "Cleveland News" reported negative news about Wells Fargo, the heads of branches in the Cleveland area reported the news. Alman Simmons, president of Wells Fargo Bank, got the news at around 9 a.m. on the 15th. To this end, Yalman Simmons also specially called his subordinates to discuss the matter. The result of the discussion at the time was to temporarily allow other branches within Ohio to allocate funds to branches in Cleveland, while controlling matters in the Cleveland area. Wells Fargo headquarters will not specifically refute rumors and avoid proactively expanding the matter. Don''t have such a big problem, but you have taken the initiative to attract the attention of the media from all over the country. Alman Simmons knows the pissiness of the media, and sales are the number one. He can''t wait for anything to make a big deal. Anyway, the consequences have nothing to do with their media. Of course, he didn''t do nothing. On the one hand, he kept people watching the development of the situation, and on the other hand, he went to the asset management department, letting the staff of the department intensify the asset sale on the same day, and returned more than 500 million US dollars in funds. This is the safest way, in the final analysis, working capital is the greatest confidence! Wait until the banks in the Cleveland area are compulsory to close in the afternoon. A statistic found that the entire city of Cleveland, including the big town below, had a total of 17 branches, and a total of more than 24 million US dollars in deposits were withdrawn that day! After seeing this statistic, Alman Simmons looked very serious. In the evening, after the evening papers in other regions also reprinted the news, Alman Simmons knew that things were out of control! Arman Simmons asked the think tank to discuss countermeasures. On the other side, I went directly to the home of Peter Lynch, the chairman of Polaris Capital. Now the trouble is made clear that it is for the entire consortium, and how to deal with it can only be made at the consortium level! ¡­ After seven o''clock in the evening, at Peter Lynch''s house. "... Chairman, this is the specific situation." "Now that it is in the following newspaper, there are already thirty-five states with newspapers covering our negative news." "Although it is off work now, according to the report from the staff below, there are still many people queuing up to withdraw money at the ATMs of our branches. I estimate that tonight our ATMs will most likely be emptied!" "This matter, there is a high probability that the Cleveland Consortium did it!" Alman Simmons reported to Peter Lynch with a solemn expression, and said his guess. Peter Lynch nodded slightly. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Yalman, how much liquidity does the bank have now?" "Although we have consumed a lot of time during this period, every day I ask the asset management department to sell the bonds and stocks previously invested, and a lot of funds are returned." "As of 6 o''clock tonight, our bank still has US$4.7 billion in liquid funds!" Alman Simmons reported the situation truthfully. Peter Lynch frowned slightly, did not speak, picked up the phone on the desk, UU read www. uukanshu.com made two calls in succession. Those who answered the phone were the presidents of Northern Trust Bank and Toronto-Dominion Bank. After finishing the call, Peter Lynch said: "For the time being, you can rest assured that the Northern Trust Bank and Toronto-Dominion Bank together can borrow six billion US dollars at any time." Alman Simmonston breathed a sigh of relief. There are tens of billions of dollars in working capital, so it''s really not persuasive. It can last a long time, and during this time, he can continue to let the asset management department sell funds. With this calculation, Wells Fargo¡¯s cash flow should be stable. "Yalman, you go to stabilize the emotions of the employees of the company. It is too late to deal with tonight. I will think about it tonight and make arrangements tomorrow!" Peter Lynch instructed Alman Simmons. "Okay, Chairman, then I won''t bother you." "I''m going back." After that, Alman Simmons got up and left. And Peter Lynch is planning to figure out a rough response plan before reporting the situation to Xia Yu. The encrypted phone in his home rang. As soon as he answered the phone, it was indeed the boss Xia Yu who called and asked about the specific situation. Peter Lynch truthfully reported the situation to Xia Yu, and then added his own proposal, but Xia Yu directly rejected it. And Xia Yu put forward a response plan that made Peter Lynch full of enthusiasm. Or, it should be said that it is a counterattack plan! Since the Cleveland consortium is behind the scenes, it questioned the tightness of Wells Fargo''s capital chain and wanted to make Wells Fargo into a whirlpool. It is useless to refute rumors and cannot convince everyone, and bank deposits will still be lost. Then just throw your fist and let everyone see if Wells Fargo really has a tight capital chain! v3 Chapter 1391: Domineering counterattack Early in the morning on November 16. Almost all over the United States, there are newspapers covering negative news about Wells Fargo. This time, there is no need to spread rumors. The news content of the major media newspapers is directly "The Wells Fargo Bank has encountered a run-off crisis in many branches", "The depositors lined up in front of the Wells Fargo ATM machine overnight to withdraw money", "The standby deposit of the Wells Fargo Bank ATM machine was emptied, and the angry depositors smashed their profits ATM machine" and so on. 166 These news content has actually happened, and photos have also been taken by many media. No need to mention the previous content. These contents alone are enough to make unidentified readers go to Wells Fargo Bank to make deposits. Therefore, before it was time for work, there were long lines at the gates of Wells Fargo Bank branches across the United States. As work hours arrived, the branches of Wells Fargo Bank were crowded with people, and nearby American police had to go to the scene to maintain order. If this kind of sudden crisis cannot be handled properly, then Wells Fargo¡¯s capital chain will really be all right. After getting reports from various places. Alman Simmons, president of Wells Fargo Bank, was anxious. If this continues to drag on, even if the crisis is finally resolved, deposits will still be lost! Therefore, at 8:30 in the morning, Wells Fargo Headquarters held a grand press conference. At the press conference, there were hundreds of media, including newspapers, radio and television stations. Of course, the media that the consortium participates in, or the media of its allies, are all put in a better position in front. "Da da da¡­" When Alman Simmons walked out from behind with a sullen face, the original noisy press conference was silent at first, and then there was a louder discussion. "Quiet~" "Please keep quiet, follow order, and the press conference will begin soon~" Arman Simmons''s secretary called out loudly on the stage, and the security and staff off the court tried their best to maintain order. "Keep quiet, everyone. I am Alman Simmons, President of Wells Fargo Bank. Thank you all media friends for coming!" "In order not to delay everyone''s precious time, please follow the order." After seated, Alman Simmons directly turned on the microphone, increased the volume to speak, and suppressed the noisy voice. Sure enough, what he said, the effect was immediate. Alman Simmons nodded slightly and continued: "The press conference officially begins, I will..." ¡­ This press conference was broadcast live on several major national television news networks. Xia Yu, who was as far away as Pennsylvania, accompanied Sandy, in front of the TV, watching the press conference through CNN''s news network. Sandy also knew that Wells Fargo was an ally invited by her husband Xia Yu for the Mellon family. The reason for this crisis was that it had spent tens of billions of dollars to help the family. Therefore, when the Mellon family was discussing this matter, Sandy was also worried about Wells Fargo and asked Xia Yu about the situation. Although Xia Yu told her that it was okay, the husband and wife joined the heart. Yesterday she still felt a raging fire in her husband Xia Yu''s heart. "Damn the Cleveland Consortium!" "The plot against our family is wrong, and now we are retaliating against the Polaris consortium." Xiandi, who was holding Xia Yu''s arm, muttered angrily. Xia Yu, who was watching TV, tilted her head slightly, kissed Sandy''s forehead, and said softly: "Cleveland is indeed a **** group, but don''t worry, keep watching. Wells Fargo will get through the crisis." "Yeah!" Sandy tapped Zhenshou lightly, and continued to look at the TV. I saw on the TV screen, Wells Fargo President Alman Simmons looked murderous, his right elbow propped on the table, his right hand held by four fingers, his index finger pointed diagonally to the sky, and angrily explained the situation. "On the morning of November 15th, the Cleveland News maliciously spread the rumors that there was a problem with our company¡¯s capital chain without evidence. This is a manifestation of irresponsibility to the country and all citizens. This is a wanton violation of the law. dignity!" "As the third largest bank in the U.S., Wells Fargo is responsible for the stability of the U.S. financial system and has been serving the whole society wholeheartedly. However, there are conspirators who hope to use despicable means to bring us into crisis at Wells Fargo!" "Our company has sued the Cleveland News and other 23 newspapers in the court. I believe that the law will always stand on the side of justice!" "Papa..." After Yalman Simmons expressed his tough attitude, he saw frantic applause from the audience, and the reporters were all invigorated. Wells Fargo is taking the initiative to make matters worse. At least in the next half a month, their news topics are not lacking! "Now start the middle questioning session!" Arman Simmons had just finished speaking, and all the reporters in the audience raised their hands. The first opportunity, of course, Alman Simmons gave to CNN of the consortium department. "Hello, President Alman Simmons. The Cleveland News reported that Wells Fargo has consumed tens of billions of dollars in funds in the last half month. Is this true?" After the reporter asked questions, Alman Simmons immediately replied: "We did spend tens of billions of dollars to invest in some companies, but this is normal business practice. We provide depositors with the highest deposit interest rate in the United States for the health of the bank. Development and maintaining high capital turnover are our business methods." 78ÖÐÎÄÍø "Wells Fargo''s asset management department is responsible for creating revenue for the company and maintaining the value of funds." "The Cleveland News, just because Wells Fargo has invested tens of billions of dollars abroad, it questioned the huge risks in our capital chain." "But they didn''t know that before this series of investments, our company''s asset management department had already cleaned up some of the low-yield assets and withdrew tens of billions of dollars in advance." "So this large-scale acquisition is just a very normal asset structure adjustment!" ¡°Here, I call on all depositors of Wells Fargo Bank. Please trust us as always and don¡¯t be misled by malicious media. Withdrawing your deposits in advance will make you lose the interest income you deserve.¡± "Thank you for your answer, I am very satisfied." The CNN reporter bowed slightly and sat down after speaking. Alman Simmons immediately clicked on the next reporter. He was from USA Today, which has the largest newspaper circulation in the United States. "President Arman Simmons, how do you prove that Wells Fargo has no problems with the funding chain?" Alman Simmons said confidently: "This is a good question." "First of all, we have sufficient liquidity. We have invited officials from the Financial Services Authority to supervise and inspect our capital chain. This one next to me is Mr. Jerry Feist from the Financial Services Authority. He Can testify for us." "In a moment, everyone can consult with Mr. Jerry Pfister." When Alman Simmons spoke, his palm pointed at the Jerry Pfister next to him, who also got up and bowed to everyone. When there were some riots off the court, Alman Simmons continued: "In addition, Wells Fargo and Northern Trust Bank, Mellon Financial Corporation, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Scotiabank are strategic partners." "Northern Trust Bank has a US$3 billion credit line for us, Mellon Financial has a US$4 billion credit line for us, and Toronto-Dominion Bank and Scotiabank each have a US$5 billion credit line for us. ." "These four major banks have a combined credit line of 17 billion U.S. dollars for us, and we can get financial support from these four major banks at any time." "The representatives of these four banks are all sitting on the podium today. They can prove our cooperative relationship." "Plus our original stable funds, who can tell me, under what circumstances will we have problems with the capital chain?" At the end, Alman Simmons spread his hands and mocked his face, as if he was mocking the ignorance of the Cleveland News! The reporters in the audience were all shocked. They did not expect Wells Fargo to have such a strong strength and cooperative relationship. Almost all the reporters present believed what Alman Simmons said. ¡­ Next, the questioning continued. Officials of the Monetary Authority and representatives of several major banks were interviewed. UU read www.uukanshu. Com confirmed what Alman Simmons said, and strongly criticized the sinister conspirators, and also called on depositors to stay sensible and calm. The content of the conference was broadcast live by major news networks throughout. And Wells Fargo Bank branches all over the United States have televisions installed, and all of them are broadcasting this press conference. The depositors gathered at the branches of Wells Fargo Bank looked at them and recovered their sanity. Almost all of them let go of the idea of ??withdrawal, and many people even swear. The questioning session lasted more than half an hour before it ended. Just when everyone thought the press conference was over. Alman Simmons announced one more thing. Wells Fargo has been on the path of orderly expansion. The reason why many depositors believed the rumors this time was largely because of the frequent thunderstorms in the US banking industry in the past two years. But Wells Fargo is different from those banks. It has a healthy cash flow and an excellent business model, making it the best bank in the United States. In order to prove his own strength, he will announce some development plans that he has already prepared in advance. That is, Wells Fargo will initiate acquisitions of some banks such as Cleveland Trust Company and Cleveland National City Bank! When Alman Simmons finished speaking, there was a moment of silence at the press conference, and then all the reporters became excited again and wanted to ask questions again. But Yarman Simmons did not give them another chance and took everyone away from the rostrum. In front of the TV, many people were shocked by Alman Simmons'' final domineering announcement. Of course, there are also people who have a numb scalp. For example-Douglas Mather and others. If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1392: Who cares, whoever loses! There are five financial companies within the sphere of influence of the Cleveland Consortium. They are Cleveland Trust Company, Cleveland (U.S.) National City Bank, Kekai International Group, American Financial Insurance Company and Fifth Third Bank. Two commercial banks, a trust bank, an investment banking financial company, and an insurance company. However, among the five financial companies, only Cleveland Trust Company and Cleveland National City Bank were owned long ago, both of which started in Cleveland. Now branches have spread across Ohio and some of the surrounding states, which are considered as regionally large. Bank out. The three companies, Kekai International Group, American Financial Insurance Company and Fifth Third Bank, were all drawn in by the Cleveland consortium in order to strengthen their strength. The three financial companies are headquartered in Ohio, not in Cleveland but in the capital Cincinnati. At the entire consortium level, although the holdings of these three financial companies are complicated, they have not reached the level of relative holdings. The four major families, the Mather family, the Hanna family, the Humphrey family, and the Eaton family, collectively hold a lower proportion of shares in these three financial companies. It''s not that the four big families don''t want to develop these companies into the core companies of the consortium, but want to take a step-by-step approach to achieve their goals. Avoiding fierce resistance from other shareholders is one reason, and wanting to save costs is another reason. ¡­ "Douglas, I suggest to shrink across the board immediately to resist the attacks of Wells Fargo!" "I also agree. I didn''t expect Wells Fargo to solve the crisis so easily and retaliate against us decisively!" "..." Less than twenty minutes after the Wells Fargo press conference ended, Douglas Mather and Reginald Hannah got together again. This time, their faces were worse than before, and their moods were terrible. Before anyhow, I just wanted to attack the Mellon consortium, and all the targets were robbed. At least there was no loss on my side. But now, the war is directly on him, and Wells Fargo is still directly targeting the Cleveland consortium''s pockets. The money bags were caught or infiltrated, and the four major families'' right to speak to the consortium absolutely plummeted. When the shareholders of other companies see the wind, it¡¯s over! "It can only be this way!" "I just thought about it carefully. All the funds of our four companies are used to increase the shareholdings of several major financial companies. It is only expected that even if the shares can be acquired, the purchase price will be very high." "In addition to our private contributions, I suggest that companies such as Cleveland Trust Company and Cleveland National City Bank use funds to acquire each other''s equity. As long as we maintain our current control of these companies, then all companies can be stabilized at the same time." Douglas Mather said his thoughts gravely. The other people looked at each other, not in the first time, calmed down and thought. After a while, Kenneth Humphrey suddenly put forward a speculation that made everyone feel tricky: "At the press conference, Alman Simmons said that he was going to initiate acquisitions of companies such as Cleveland Trust Company and Cleveland National City Bank. So besides these two companies, which companies does he plan to initiate acquisitions?" "Did you initiate acquisitions of all the five financial companies we control?" "Or is it a combination of reality and reality, and only intends to initiate an acquisition of one or a few of them?" "Or, is it that the company does not intend to acquire, but only wants to profit from it by malicious sniping?" This series of questions made the other three irritable. Just the answers to these questions, if you really want to know, you can only ask Aalman Simmons. "We have no choice, unless we don''t care!" "Or I think, in fact, Wells Fargo has already made a number of plans. Maybe we relax on which company they want to buy. If all five of our companies are insured, then they will make a profit and leave..." Sam Eaton shrugged helplessly and sighed. "If I were Alman Simmons, I would do the same." "Regardless of the result, we actually lost..." 166 Douglas Mather accepted Sam Eaton''s analysis. He laughed self-deprecatingly, a trace of regret suddenly rose in his heart, and the negative emotions were rapidly expanding. The Wells Fargo Bank of the North Star Consortium is really a lion. I would have known it for a long time and I wouldn''t mess with it. I would have been led by the nose before getting angry. "Forget it, protect all five of our companies." "Who cares will lose, so we lost at the beginning." "If our control of these banks and financial companies can achieve the control of Polaris Capital over Wells Fargo, we can also not worry about the enemy launching an attack on us in this regard, ha ha~" Kenneth Humphrey looked at Douglas Mather and said these words to make him look better. After all, it was Douglas Mather who proposed to pit Wells Fargo. "That''s it, let''s discuss how to act as quickly as possible..." ¡­ The Polaris Consortium is able to thoroughly implement Xia Yu''s will, and the execution ability is naturally extremely high. In fact, after Xia Yu called Peter Lynch last night. Peter Lynch summoned the manpower overnight to study and deploy the operation. When Alman Simmons held a press conference in the morning, the Polaris consortium had already started. Not only the five financial companies controlled by the Cleveland Consortium, but also other companies have also become the targets of the Polaris Consortium. This time, Xia Yu''s purpose is simple. The Cleveland consortium must be beaten. The strength of the Polaris Consortium ranks tenth in the United States, and the position is a bit behind! It is temporarily impossible to dismember the Cleveland consortium like the Chicago consortium. But as long as the Cleveland consortium''s decline is fully demonstrated, then other consortiums will never miss the opportunity to go downhill. The strength of the Cleveland consortium is weaker than the Mellon consortium. The Mellon consortium with a family at its core can be besieged. What about the Cleveland consortium with a worse core cohesion? At noon that day. There was news that Wells Fargo¡¯s acquisition team was already in contact with shareholders of the American Financial and Insurance Group. 78 Chinese Network Not to mention on the stock market, the stock prices of all five companies are rising, and trading volumes continue to rise. UU reading www.uukanshu.c¨®m Just when the eyes of the big bosses from all walks of life were attracted by these five companies. The Polaris Consortium has launched an offensive against some other companies under the Cleveland Consortium that have insufficient control. The goal of the insurance company is surprisingly a national mutual insurance company. This financial company, established in Columbus, Ohio in 1925, was not originally part of the Cleveland Consortium, and now it is only the hunting target of the Cleveland Consortium. With the support of the Polaris Consortium, the insurance company has become the fifth largest auto insurance group in the United States. The National Mutual Insurance Company is currently the eighth largest auto insurance service provider in the United States, and it is also the ninth largest home insurance service provider in the United States. The National Mutual Insurance Company has a foothold in Ohio, and when expanding its business nationwide, it also leveraged the resources of the Cleveland Consortium. Therefore, as an exchange of benefits, the Cleveland Consortium successfully penetrated the company. At present, some companies in the Cleveland consortium hold a total of 20.4% of the equity of the National Mutual Insurance Company. Relying on this shareholding ratio, although the Cleveland consortium has great influence in this company, it still loses to the power of other shareholders. This gives the insurance company a chance to get started! at the same time. Xia Yu''s New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., also in the New York Stock Exchange, began to acquire shares of Cleveland Natural Resources. When Xia Yu was in trouble with the Cleveland consortium, the Mellon family''s defensive actions encountered serious obstacles. It is not the small role that makes Leonard Mellon stressful, but the Rockefeller consortium. So Leonard Mellon had to ask Xia Yu for help. If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1393: Then pull Morgan into the water Leonard Mellon found Xia Yu in the hospital. Xia Yu was accompanying Sandi to the hospital to visit the old Mellon who was still unconscious. "Leonard, what''s the matter?" "What difficulties have you encountered again?" Seeing the irritable expression on Leonard Mellon''s face, Xia Yu took the initiative to come to the chair in the aisle with Leonard Mellon and asked why. Leonard Mellon told the truth: "After executing that strategy, the situation has improved a lot." "Especially after the Cleveland consortium retreats, it has driven many forces to retreat." "But there is still one biggest obstacle, and that is the Rockefeller Foundation." "David Rockefeller has never given up infiltrating us, causing us a lot of trouble and pressure." Xia Yu''s expression has also become a lot more serious, after all, David Rockefeller can be said to be at the top of the United States. "What the **** is the situation, don''t worry, there will always be a way." Xia Yu said slowly, and his calm tone also affected Leonard Mellon. Leonard Mellon took a deep breath and continued: "In fact, the main thing is that the four companies have gone wrong." "They are the Bank of New York, Pittsburgh National Bank, Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric Company." Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn''t help shaking his brows. Good guy, David Rockefeller is cruel enough to start, these four companies are the key points of the Mellon Consortium! "At present, Chase Manhattan Bank is trying its best to buy shares of New York Ying, and New York Morgan Trust Company is trying its best to buy shares of Pittsburgh National Bank." "Lockheed has issued a takeover offer to Martin Marietta and wants to acquire Martin Marietta by cash + equity." "On the Westinghouse Electric Company side, the Rockefeller family wants to take the opportunity to increase their shareholding and try to completely control the board of directors." "Martin Marietta has been controlled by our family before, with a cumulative shareholding ratio of 42.3%, while Lockheed is a company controlled by the Rockefeller consortium. Now the other party sends out news of mergers and acquisitions, which is attractive to other shareholders. It must be huge." "The Rockefeller consortium itself has a cumulative shareholding of 33.8% in Martin Marietta." "Once we merge with cash and stocks, then we will be marginalized. The combined company will thoroughly implement the will of the Rockefeller Consortium, and our shareholding will be meaningless." "..." Following Leonard Mellon''s account, Xia Yu also realized the severity of the situation. Let me talk about Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Trust Company, both of which are commercial banks. In terms of total assets and deposits, Chase Manhattan Bank ranked fourth in the United States, and New York Morgan Trust Company ranked fifth! New York Morgan Trust Company, although there is the word Morgan, in fact, this bank has been under the control of the Rockefeller family since the 1960s, and David Rockefeller has also served as the chairman of the board for many years! The top five major banks in the United States, with the exception of Bank of America, First Citibank and Wells Fargo, the Rockefeller Consortium controls two, which shows the power of the Rockefeller Consortium in the financial field. Now these two banks are each targeting a bank of the Mellon Consortium, and it is normal for the Mellon family to cause huge troubles. The current situation of Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric is actually the same. In the final analysis, other shareholders saw that the Mellon family had lost power, and when they were in their heyday, they were much worse than the Rockefeller family, and now it is normal to be on the fence. just this way, it caused a huge trouble to the Mellon family. Once the Rockefeller consortium is nailed into the Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh, the Mellon family will be greatly restrained. The contraction strategy that has been set before will not be completely completed. The defensive barriers are not completely built, so the future development of the Mellon family and the Mellon consortium will be greatly restricted. For Leonard Mellon, he will not be able to fully establish his prestige this time, which will have a huge negative impact on his plan to become the head of the Mellon family. So he can''t help but not nervous. "Xia Yu, what do you think I should do?" Facing Leonard Mellon''s scorching gaze, Xia Yu lowered his head to think, his brain was running fast. Suddenly, he asked Leonard Mellon: "Leonard, among the Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh, besides you and the Rockefeller consortium, which party has the most influence?" Leonard Mellon blurted out: "Of course it is the Morgan Consortium!" "I can''t buy the equity held by the Morgan Consortium, and neither can the Rockefeller Consortium." "If I can get a series of equity in the Morgan Consortium, then the Rockefeller Consortium can directly declare failure." Xia Yu knew it, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He asked the second question again: "So for the acquisition of Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric Company, the Rockefeller Consortium also used the funds of Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Trust Company?" Leonard Mellon nodded and replied: "Yes, I have already investigated, and that is the truth." "The third question!" "Do you have any equity in Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Trust Company?" This question is the most critical. Xia Yu guessed that there should be it. After all, it is normal for the consortium to infiltrate each other. With Richard King Mellon''s wisdom, it would not be unexpected. As expected! Leonard Mellon thought for a long time, nodded again and said, "Yes." "A total of 4.12% of Chase Manhattan Bank and 8.72% of New York Morgan Trust Company." "I remember my father told me that in 1959, jp Morgan was promoted to merge with the New York Guarantee Trust Company. At that time, my father took the opportunity to obtain a part of the equity, and then gradually obtained scattered equity." "It''s just that I have a 3.5% stake in the company, and I got a seat on the board of directors. The remaining shares are scattered and hidden." "Then there is no problem, there is a way!" Xia Yu said with a light smile. Leonard Mellon was very surprised: "Is there really a way?" But he is not stupid. When Xia Yu was so little allocated, he was surprised: "Xia Yu, do you mean to use these shares to exchange shares with the Morgan family?" Xia Yu shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "It''s not just a share swap, but the Rockefeller family has to make trouble!" "At present, only the Morgan family can check and balance the Rockefeller family." "Let John Chris Morgan fight David Rockefeller, the Rockefeller Foundation will naturally not put most of its energy on you." "Other walls are not good, and they won''t immediately fall to Rockefeller''s side." "Of course, and more importantly, you can ask the Morgan family for help to counterbalance the Rockefeller family. I think John Chris Morgan will definitely be happy to do this." "He would never want to see the Rockefeller Consortium control your Mellon Consortium!" "Even if it''s only possible, he wouldn''t want to see it!" "By the way, I have a 3.12% stake in Morgan Trust Company in New York, which can be transferred to you together." "Plus your 8.72% equity, the total is 11.84%." "The original intention of Morgan Stanley was that when the "Glass-Steagall Act" was revoked, Morgan Stanley could return to the embrace of JP Morgan and restore the glory of Morgan Bank." "Although the "Glass-Steagall Act" has not been revoked, when the old Morgan was alive, he always wanted to regain the New York Morgan Trust Company. As long as John Chris Morgan could get our equity, he would Can surpass the Rockefeller family in holdings." "Even if they can''t immediately regain control of Morgan Trust in New York, it is the best time they hope!" "This is the key to John Chris Morgan!" Xia Yu''s words made Leonard Mellon completely clear the cloud. The sadness on his face disappeared, and he even showed a relaxed smile. "So, am I going to see John Chris Morgan?" Xia Yu nodded slightly: "That''s right!" "Holding these chips, you can definitely convince him, but if you want to maximize your benefits, you need to look at your performance!" "If you want to become the head of the Mellon family, you must talk about it this time at UU Reading www.uukavanshu.com, and there must be enough results. The more results, the more help you will be!" Leonard Mellon was embarrassed when he heard this, very tangled. John Chris Morgan is twice his age, and he is a famous financial genius, the head of the Morgan family, and the master of the Morgan consortium! Before his father Mellon had met with John Chris Morgan many times, he was accompanied by him, and he had personally experienced the power of John Chris Morgan. Let him go talk to John Chris Morgan... To be honest, he wants results and positive influence. But... he has no confidence! The more I think about it, the more irritable Leonard Mellon is, and he can¡¯t help sighing. Just when he was in distress, he saw Xia Yu, who was calm and calm, and his inspiration flashed. Yes, even though the brother-in-law in front of him is younger than him, he is a figure his father admits is not inferior to him. So it can be inferred that Xia Yu should not be much worse than John Chris Morgan. So... "Xia Yu, would you like to take...er... with me?" v3 Chapter 1394: Tigers eat meat! (4000 big Chapter 1394 Tigers eat meat! On Wall Street, if you don¡¯t know John Chris Morgan, then you are definitely not a practitioner in the financial industry! On Wall Street, John Chris Morgan, who was known as a "financial genius" when he was young, is now known as the "King of Wall Street", is an existence that no one can get around. At the age of fifty-two this year, he officially became the head of the Morgan family in 1982, which is three years ago. Because that year, Henry Morgan, the fourth-generation head of the Morgan family who created Morgan Stanley, left the world. Of course, because Henry Morgan was in poor health before his death, he could not fully handle the affairs of the family and the consortium. Therefore, John Chris Morgan had earlier grasped the core power of the Morgan family and the Morgan Consortium, that is, after Henry Morgan''s death, he only had an official name. Xia Yu and Leonard Mellon went to visit John Chris Morgan blatantly, without hiding their whereabouts. The meeting place was at Morgan Stanley''s headquarters building, located on 42nd Street in Manhattan, New York. The name of the building was "Morgan Stanley Building". The entire skyscraper belongs to Morgan Stanley! John Chris Morgan''s office is on the top floor of the building. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, you can overlook the entire Manhattan. When he saw John Chris Morgan, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows enjoying the scenery, with a Cuban cigar in his mouth. "Mr. Xia Yu, Mr. Leonard Mellon." "Very happy to meet all of you!" "Would you like a cigar?" John Chris Morgan¡¯s welcoming style is a bit different, not particularly enthusiastic, but it does not give people a sense of alienation, as if everything is natural. He picked up the cigar box from the table, opened it and handed it to the two of them. "Mr. Morgan, thank you!" Leonard Mellon subconsciously took a cigar and shook hands with John Chris Morgan. The latter smiled and nodded, his eyes were placed on Xia Yu. Regarding Leonard Mellon''s performance, Xia Yu couldn''t help but shook his head secretly. As expected, he was still not experienced enough, and he was immediately seen as a part of the truth. Xia Yudan smiled and shook hands with John Chris Morgan, and said naturally: "Mr. Morgan, when we meet for the first time, I still need to formally introduce myself. My name is Xia Yu, from Xiangjiang in the East." "Your reputation has long been familiar to me. You are the only person in the East who can influence the world. I have long wanted to talk to you." "Would you like a cigar, Bolivar''s cigar, can take you back to the past." John Chris Morgan handed the cigar box to Xia Yu. Xia Yu knows about this cigar. This is a cigar named after the South American independent leader Simon Bolivar. Although it is not the top brand, it has a strong flavor and strong taste that are the characteristics of Bolivar cigars. . If you are used to smoking this cigar, you may even feel dull when you smoke other brands of cigars. But no matter what the taste was, Xia Yu didn''t like it. Because he doesn''t smoke cigars. He smiled and refused: "Thank you, my past is not as legendary as Mr. Morgan, there is nothing worth remembering." "Compared to the past, I prefer a future full of infinite possibilities." "Of course, if I am honored, I would like to taste the coffee here." "After all, everyone on Wall Street knows that the top floor of the Morgan Stanley Building has the best coffee in the world!" John Chris Morgan has two public hobbies, cigars and coffee. Although Xia Yu rejected his cigar, he held his coffee, and what he said sounded very pleasing. John Chris Morgan couldn''t help laughing: "I didn''t expect Mr. Xia to know these gossips." "Sit down, please. The coffee will take a while." With that, John Chris Morgan re-covered the cigar box and placed it on the table, inviting Xia Yu and Leonard Mellon to sit down on the soft and comfortable sofa. His secretary immediately began to grind coffee. It was said that Leonard Mellon, although smoking a cigar, but a strong-tasting cigar, he felt dull and tasteless when he smoked it. Compared with Xia Yu''s performance, he has returned to the future, and while secretly laughing and blushing, he can''t help but feel a little lucky to ask Xia Yu to accompany him. "Mr. Leonard Mellon, is your father still in a stable condition?" John Chris Morgan leaned on the sofa and asked Leonard Mellon with his legs up. Leonard Mellon nodded and said calmly: "It''s relatively stable. The doctor said it''s better than just after the operation, and the chances of waking up are greater." John Chris Morgan smiled undeniably: "That''s good. Your father and I are old friends. He is a person I admire." "I hope he can wake up soon, if possible, I want to play golf with him again." "Thank you!" Leonard Mellon solemnly thanked him. John Chris Morgan looked at Xia Yu again, and talked about Xia Yu''s marriage with a faint smile: "Mr. Xia, your marriage is actually my concern." "You were not in the United States at the time, and at many cocktail parties on Wall Street during that time, the topics about you were the focus." "In that respect, including me, it''s not as good as you." "You can marry so many outstanding girls at the same time, and you are the only one in the world." "My son is also one of Sandy Mellon''s suitors. She married you, but it saddens a large number of young people, including my son." Unexpectedly, John Chris Morgan was so talkative, Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. "Mr. Morgan, this is also the proudest and luckiest thing in my life, not only now, but also in the future." "It is precisely because they are behind me to support me, so I should work hard for the future." "..." After some small talk, the coffee is ready. The topic revolved around coffee and another small chat, and the topic finally got on the right track. It was Xia Yu who provoked the topic. "Mr. Morgan, in fact, this time, our only purpose is to make friends with you." John Chris Morgan was surprised, and then smiled: "Aren''t we friends now?" If Leonard Mellon was to pick up these words, he really didn''t know how to answer. But Xia Yu said very naturally: "Of course it is a friend, but on our side, there are many kinds of friends, such as wine and meat friends, ordinary friends, sincere friends and close friends." "The first time we met, it was basically a nodding acquaintance, but I think we can become even better friends." "After all, we have a common opponent!" John Chris Morgan''s eyes narrowed slightly, his smile narrowed slightly, and he wondered how Xia Yu and Leonard Mellon would make friends with him. For Xia Yu and the others, he could actually guess that it was because of David Rockefeller. "So, Mr. Xia, Mr. Leonard Mellon, how do you want to make friends?" This time, Xia Yu did not answer, but looked at Leonard Mellon with a smile. Xia Yu''s smile gave Leonard Mellon a lot of confidence, and he narrated according to the content discussed before coming. "Mr. Morgan, the achievements of the Morgan family are well known." "In our opinion, if it weren''t for a lot of people to join forces, the Morgan family would definitely be the strongest hegemon in the United States." "Although the Morgan Consortium already has a huge lineup of banks such as Hanover Company, New York Bankers Trust Company, Northwest Bank, etc., this Golden Mountain still lacks one of the most magnificent diamonds to embellish it." "I believe that the Morgan Consortium, which owns J¡¤P Morgan, will be the strongest overlord!" "I think JP Morgan, a great name that has disappeared for more than two decades, should reappear in this world." John Chris Morgan was silent. He took the last cigar, and his face was blurred after the smoke ring was spit out. I have to say that when Leonard Mellon threw this thing, his peace of mind was destroyed. The disappearance of J¡¤P Morgan is the only shame for their Morgan family! This shame has been there since 1959! It has existed for twenty-six years now! Although others are afraid of the power of the Morgan family, this has always been a taunting point for those rats to secretly use for self-comfort. In order to take back the J.P. Morgan company, his father and him, as well as the entire Morgan family made great efforts, but they were unsuccessful. There are many reasons for failure. The main reason is David Rockefeller, but everyone else is too. Take Richard King Mellon. When Henry Morgan was alive, he repeatedly wanted to buy the equity of Morgan Trust Company in New York held by the Mellon family, but Richard King Mellon refused to sell it. Because in the camp, the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family belong to the same faction, and they support the Republican Party. The Morgan family is the biggest supporter of the Democratic Party. Therefore, Richard King Mellon is unwilling to see the strength of the Morgan Consortium rise, which will affect the influence of the entire camp and have a greater impact on potential interests. But this time, David Rockefeller bullied Richard King Mellon and fell. The Mellon family has no leader and brazenly attacked the Mellon family. In front of the immediate interests, what camp interests and future interests all stand aside, under Xia Yu''s suggestion, Leonard Mellon chose to set the table! The opportunity is so miraculously presented before him, it is impossible for John Chris Morgan to refuse. He solemnly asked: "Mr. Leonard Mellon, how many chips do you have?" Leonard Mellon was sure, smiling at John Chris Morgan and said: "We own 11.84% of the equity!" "you guys?" "11.84%!" A short sentence shocked John Chris Morgan''s mind, his palms were subconsciously propped on the sofa, and Erlang''s legs were all put down. He realized that he had lost his temper, but he did not hide it. After all, Xia Yu and Leonard Mellon came to the door to come up with this bargaining chip, which showed that they knew the importance of this bargaining chip to the Morgan family. That being the case, then everything is spread out, there is no need to circumscribe. "Mr. Mellon, Mr. Xia Yu, I want to know, if you take out this thing to make friends with me, what can I do for you?" John Chris Morgan said solemnly. The change of title made Leonard Mellon smile more. He looked at Xia Yu and got Xia Yu''s affirmative opinion. He stated his purpose: "Mr. Morgan, the Morgan consortium has certain equity in the Bank of New York, Pittsburgh National Bank, Martin Marietta, Westinghouse Electric and some companies. I hope you can sell it to me. ." John Chris Morgan knew it. He thought for a while and nodded slowly: "No problem." "I am also disgusted by David Rockefeller''s actions, and I am willing to help you." "Thank you!" "Then we successfully cooperated?" "of course!" While speaking, John Chris Morgan took the initiative to stand up, and Leonard Mellon and Xia Yu also stood up and shook hands with him. ... After chatting for a while, Leonard Mellon said goodbye under Xia Yu''s sign. John Chris Morgan took the initiative to send the two to the door of the building and watched them leave. This scene was seen by many people. After many caring people recognized Leonard Mellon and Xia Yu, the news spread rapidly on Wall Street. The first reaction of all those who received the news is that the situation of the Mellon Consortium is about to change! 166 After John Chris Morgan returned to the office, he was lost in thought. Thinking back to what happened just now, he couldn''t help but sigh. Although Leonard Mellon talked to him about the final matter, he saw it very clearly that Xia Yu was always the leader! This time as long as he is on the Mellon family''s side, then the Mellon family''s crisis will surely be passed through David Rockefeller will surely wipe out the basket. The relationship between the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family will definitely be stiff, which is a good thing for him. But if nothing else, Leonard Mellon with Xia Yu''s guidance will become the core of the Mellon family. Leonard Mellon is still very immature. He takes over the Mellon family and the Mellon consortium and poses little threat to the Morgan consortium. With the help of this crisis, after purifying the consortium, the strength of the Mellon consortium has declined a lot, but its self-protection ability has risen to a notch. Just how aggressive it is, this is still a question! Because it depends on how much influence Xia Yu, a Chinese young man, can have on the Mellon family! It may be more dangerous than Richard King Mellon was alive, or it may be much worse. 78 Chinese Network But anyway. John Chris Morgan can be sure of one thing. That is, relying on the Mellon family and the Mellon consortium, Xia Yu from the East can completely gain a foothold in the United States. He understands part of Xia Yu''s family history, and he also knows that Xia Yu fought against the Rohill family. This is a young man who is not inferior to him at all! In the long run, Xia Yu''s expansion in the United States will definitely affect the interests of him and many people. After all, he knew very well that Xia Yu was a tiger from the East, and tigers eat meat! "Forget it, I''ll talk about it later." "My biggest enemy right now is David Rockefeller." "Some things I can''t get, but David Rockefeller must not get it!" "Compared to the interests of the Mellon Consortium, as long as the New York Morgan Trust Company can be retaken, it is the greatest victory..." If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1395: Feng Shui turns around! Fight back! "Leonard, did you meet John Chris Morgan?" News about John Chris Morgan always spread quickly. When Leonard Mellon and Xia Yu returned to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from New York, Paul Mellon immediately found his nephew Leonard Mellon to find out the specific situation. "Yes, Uncle Paul, I went to talk to him about a cooperation!" Leonard Mellon said very calmly. Paul Mellon frowned slightly, a little annoyed that Leonard Mellon could make opinions without consulting him. But he remained patient and asked for details: "What kind of cooperation are you talking about with him?" Leonard Mellon smiled and said the results: "In fact, it is to let John Chris Morgan transfer part of the equity to us. These equity interests include New York City, Pittsburgh National Bank, Martin Marietta, Westinghouse Electric the company¡­" As Leonard Mellon continued to tell, Paul Mellon was very surprised, and the slight irritation just now disappeared. He hurriedly asked: "John Chris Morgan agreed?" "He agreed on the spot, and I took the opportunity to make a friend with him." "As for the specific details of the acquisition, I am preparing to come back and tell you so that I can arrange for someone to match it." "Good job!" Paul Mellon applauded subconsciously. This is absolutely excellent news for the Mellon family. These days, the pressure from Rockefeller is felt by the entire Mellon family, and Paul Mellon can¡¯t sleep well at night. But if the shares of these companies held by the Morgan Consortium are taken at one time, then Rockefeller will not turn the sky! After being happy, Paul Mellon calmed down. He asked with a serious face, "Leonard, why would John Chris Morgan agree? What bargaining chip did you give him?" "I said that I would sell him 11.84% of the equity in Morgan Trust Company in New York held by the family!" Leonard Mellon reported truthfully. "No, where does our family have so much equity? I remember only 8.72%!" Paul Mellon asked, frowning for a moment. "Yes, but I asked my brother-in-law Xia Yu to help buy 3.12%, so it adds up to 11.84%." Leonard Mellon told the truth very calmly. At this moment, Paul Mellon was silent. For a long time, Paul Mellon said: "Thank him then." "It''s fine if the equity of Morgan Trust Company in New York is gone. Anyway, your father hid these equity in order to one day play a huge role, and now it can be regarded as effective." "Only the company that can be controlled is truly one''s own." "Leonard, you did a good job and you have grown a lot. I''m very pleased." After speaking, Paul Mellon patted Leonard Mellon on the shoulder, his eyes filled with gratification and admiration. Leonard Mellon was overjoyed. He held back his smile and remained humble: "Uncle Paul, I still have a lot of room for growth. Today I officially talked with John Chris Morgan about things, and I realized that I was very close to him. Not a small gap." "But I will continue to work hard, and strive to be able to talk and laugh with John Chris Morgan as early as possible." Paul Mellon¡¯s color of relief became more intense, and he was full of emotion: "You have this kind of mentality. Very few people in the family dare to negotiate directly with John Chris Morgan. You have done it. Things most people can''t do." "Keep working hard. If you have anything to discuss with me, I will support you." 166 "Okay, thank you Uncle Paul!" Leonard Mellon said hurriedly. "Make a deal with John Chris Morgan as soon as possible. The family and the consortium have been messed up for long enough and can''t be delayed." Paul Mellon patted Leonard Mellon on the shoulder again, and after a word of exhortation, he walked away with ease. "I''ll do it right away!" Seeing Paul Mellon''s back, Leonard Mellon responded loudly. Thinking of the conversation just now, the smile on his face finally couldn''t hide. He succeeded! After that, Leonard Mellon devoted himself to work with high spirits. ¡­ Both Mellon and Morgan wanted to help each other as soon as possible, so as to pit the Rockefeller consortium. In the face of strategic interests at the consortium level, some marginal interests are not worth mentioning. Instead, time is the most precious. therefore. The transaction between the two parties was completed quickly, and it took less than a day! With the assistance of the Morgan Consortium, the Mellon family completed the holdings of the Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh. The control of Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric Company has also stabilized. Seeing the intervention of the Morgan Consortium, the original turmoil instantly stopped, and the temptation of Lockheed''s merger plan was greatly reduced. The Mellon family took the opportunity to deepen their control of the four companies. This kind of thing that annoyed David Rockefeller, he didn''t have the mind to deal with it. Because John Chris Morgan has already called on him. Get 11.84% of the equity in the Mellon family transaction, plus the original equity. In the New York Morgan Trust Company, the Morgan Consortium can add three more director seats! Originally the Rockefeller consortium completely controlled two more director seats than the Morgan consortium. But now the situation is reversed, and the Morgan Consortium has overtaken seats, with one more seat! With just one more seat on the board of directors, John Chris Morgan was not completely successful. John Chris Morgan wants to take back the New York Morgan Trust Company and rename it J.P Morgan. He also needs him to completely control the board of directors, or to arrange for someone to sit on the board chairman. This requires a lot of work to acquire other shareholders¡¯ equity or persuade other directors to do the reverse. After receiving the news, David Rockefeller was furious and immediately formulated a defensive strategy. Although New York Morgan Trust Company is a bank, as the fifth largest bank in the United States, there are too many companies and assets linked to it. If John Chris Morgan is allowed to take control, his ability can cause major harm to the Rockefeller consortium, but the strength of the Morgan consortium can increase by a bit! The importance of this matter has already ranked first! Soon, the two major forces started fighting over the New York Morgan Trust Company. Other shareholders are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching the fight between the great gods, and waiting to fall to the party that promises the most benefits! It can be said that if Xia Yu used this trick, the brains of the two giants in the future will have to be played out! And as the Rockefeller consortium lost its offensive, other forces also realized that the Mellon consortium had completed the contraction of the front. If you continue to attack, you won''t get any benefits. Instead, it will easily lead to revenge from the Mellon consortium, and you will be killed. Therefore, how fast these enemies came before, and how fast they are now retreating, all died down. The Mellon family has a good development environment for integrating forces. But this time. After consulting Xia Yu, the brothers Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon personally called Peter Lynch, the president of Polaris Capital. Then Leonard Mellon approached Paul Mellon and expressed his thoughts. "What, do you want to attack the Cleveland Consortium with the Polaris Consortium?" "What''s the reason?" Paul Mellon looked at his excellent nephew with stern eyes. Leonard Mellon spoke eloquently: "Uncle Paul, our family has completed the front-line contraction plan, the strategic goal has been completed, and the rest is the detail work, the resistance has disappeared, as long as it takes time." "And we dealt with it fully at the beginning, prepared more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of funds, now only a part of it, we still have a large amount of liquidity on hand." "The Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh are also firmly controlled, so in fact, the amount of funds we can freely use is more." "During this time, our family''s internal popularity has fluctuated, and in the outside world, our family''s power has also declined a lot." "So I hope to re-establish our power through a war, so that everyone knows that even if my father doesn''t wake up temporarily, the Mellon family can''t offend!" "It doesn''t have much meaning or benefit to fight against ordinary enemies, but the Cleveland Consortium is different." "Now the Cleveland consortium is a little caught off guard facing the offensive of the Polaris consortium." "Other forces are also eyeing the Cleveland Consortium, so we can be absolutely sure that the Cleveland Consortium will definitely suffer." "We have little risk of joining the offense, but with our strength, the effect will definitely be significant." "There is another important point. The Polaris Consortium is our ally. Because it helped us, we were retaliated by the Cleveland Consortium. Fortunately, the Polaris Consortium responded quickly and eliminated a major crisis, but it also suffered losses. This was the way to counter Cleveland. Consortium." 78 Chinese Network "So whether it is to thank our allies or for ourselves, we should work with the Polaris consortium at this time to retaliate against the Cleveland consortium!" "..." After listening to Leonard Mellon''s reason. U U Reading Paul Mellon took a deep look at his nephew, then nodded and said, "You see it thoroughly." "I totally support you." "It''s up to you to summon the family members. A high-level family meeting will be held tonight, and then you will tell them your plan." "I''m leaving first, and I will help you do the rest of the work of the stable family." "Thank you Uncle Paul!" Leonard Mellon said happily. Looking at Paul Mellon''s back, Leonard Mellon clenched his fists and punched hard. It is the power of the patriarch of the family to convene a meeting with family members. After Richard King Mellon fell ill, Paul Mellon was responsible for convening and presided over the meetings during this period. But now, this power is in his hands for the first time! The position of the head of the family is already beckoning him. Carefully prepared all afternoon. In the evening, Leonard Mellon once again explained his views and plans. This time, Paul Mellon did not give him the first time support, and Leonard Mellon persuaded the high-level family who had been suffocating in his heart for a long time. This in turn made Paul Mellon even more gratified, the family''s hearts have been united again. In the end, the Mellon family high-level meeting unanimously approved and supported Leonard Mellon''s proposals and decisions. Attack the Cleveland Consortium! Early the next morning, the Mellon consortium directly blew the horn of attack and launched an attack with a big fanfare. For a time, I don''t know how many people were dumbfounded. I don¡¯t know how many people feel that Feng Shui turns around... If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1396: The wind is blowing in the Philippines The Mellon consortium aggressively attacked the Cleveland consortium, directly eliminating its label of "weakness." But those in power in the Cleveland consortium were shocked. The aggressive Polaris consortium makes them exhausted, and other consortiums are also taking advantage of the fire. Now the stronger Mellon consortium takes revenge with raging anger, and it is definitely not easy to be good. Only this time. Douglas Mather, Reginald Hanna and others were already vomiting blood. For the Cleveland Trust Company and Cleveland National City Bank, although the consortium controls more than 50% of the equity, it does not have absolute control, and there is still the risk of being constrained. This is especially true of Kekai International Group, American Financial Insurance Group, and Fifty Three Banking Corporation. The highest was originally only 40.3%, which is far from the relative holding line of 50%. So this time, facing the takeover attack launched by the Polaris consortium. The Cleveland consortium can only respond comprehensively. The consequence of this action is that the stock prices of these five companies have soared. The stock price of the lowest one has doubled! But they have to grab the chips, and they have to grab their noses too! however. After the Polaris consortium waited until the stock prices of the five companies went up, they began to sell stocks at high prices. The Cleveland consortium is not unconscious. After only testing, the North Star consortium can only let the North Star consortium sell stocks at a high price. Because they have tried many times before, if they don''t buy stocks at high positions, the stocks will be bought by other buyers. These buyers may be other companies in the Polaris consortium that are responsible for the underwriting, or they may really be other people with ulterior motives. The stock prices of these companies can''t fall anyway. Unless the Cleveland consortium is willing to smash the market and suppress the stock price. But this is absolutely impossible. Therefore, no matter how the stock price rises, before completing the established acquisition target. They can only endure nausea and anger to buy stocks. Even fortunately, the enemy did not speculate the stock price at sky-high prices! And it is during this time period. A series of actions of Xia Yu''s Polaris consortium are being executed quickly. Hughes Aircraft Corporation acquired the equity of Parker Hannifin Corporation 5 and disclosed information to the New York Stock Exchange. Established in 1918, Parker Hannifin Company is a motion control manufacturing company with three major sectors, namely the industrial sector, the aerospace sector, and the temperature and industrial control sector, with a market value of more than ten billion U.S. dollars. For this company, the Cleveland consortium can ascertain the shareholding ratio of about 364. The insurance company also quietly acquired the equity of the National Mutual Insurance Company 5, and then did not disclose it again, but secretly acquired the equity on a large scale. American consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble, as well as paint and coating manufacturer Sherwin Williams, were secretly acquired shares. Xia Yu really wanted these companies, so the acquisition was mainly low-key. But some companies have launched attacks with fanfare. For example, the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. announced that it had acquired the shares of Cleveland Natural Resources Corp. 127 and issued a comprehensive takeover offer to it. Cleveland Natural Resources Corporation is the largest iron ore producer in North America, as well as a major producer and supplier of coal for metallurgical use in North America. It can be said that this company is the foundation of the Cleveland consortium''s steel industry. If you lose control of this company, then steel companies such as Republic Steel and Lex Youngston will have to look at the faces of others. Production capacity will be affected by iron ore and coal suppliers, and costs will also face huge challenges. The competitiveness of steel companies'' products will have to be a big question mark! There are also two retail giants in the sphere of influence of the Cleveland Consortium, Macy''s and Kroger, have also received a takeover offer from Polaris Capital! These breaking news caused Douglas Mather and others'' scalps to burst. But they can''t ignore it. After all, these companies are all recruited in the process of the consortium''s growth. The shareholding ratio is not very high, but it is very important to the consortium. Therefore, even if funds are now invested in the acquisition of five financial companies, we still have to find ways to get money to keep these companies. These pressures are simply not too great! With these things involved in energy and financial resources, Xia Yu''s actions for those companies that really want to acquire have proceeded very smoothly. And at a time when the American business community was turbulent. A secret conversation is taking place in the office of President Ferdinand in the Philippines in Southeast Asia. In the huge office, there are only two people, President Ferdinand and his absolute confidant, Enrique Brod, director of the National Bureau of Investigation of the Philippines. At this time, Ferdinand looked very ugly after reading the reported results. He looked at Enrique Brod with gloomy eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Enrique, is the data above confirmed to be true?" Enrique Broder nodded solemnly, and replied affirmatively: "President Ferdinand, I have verified it." "These survey statistics are actually the secret poll data of Manila''s Standard Today, which has been in the hands of the opposition party for a long time." "The members of our intelligence department knew that the opposition party was doing this before, but they have never found an opportunity and have not obtained poll data." "This time I took the opportunity to copy it after a period of incubation inside." "It is indeed true information." After getting a positive answer. Ferdinand''s face looked ugly again. He lowered his head and looked at the copy on the desktop again, and couldn''t help but snorted coldly. The Manila Standard Today is the propaganda position of the opposition party. The reason why it has not been strongly blocked by him is because this newspaper has both American and British capital, which has pulled the British and Americans. But now their internal poll data is very unfavorable for Ferdinand. In September. The approval rating of Ferdinand¡¯s Socialist Party was 602, while the opposition totaled 398. In October, the situation became a lot worse. The support rate of the Socialist Party¡¯s poll dropped by a few points, to 569, and the opposition¡¯s total support rate was 431. By November, the situation was even worse. The Socialist Party¡¯s poll support rate dropped again, to 531, and the opposition totaled 469. The gap between the two sides is getting closer, and the advantages of the Socialist Party are running out. Wait until the latest one, the secret poll in December. The support rate of the Socialist Party fell to 518, which has dropped again Just over three months. The advantages of the Socialist Party are exhausted. How can this not panic the leader of the Socialist Party, Ferdinand? Now he is also aware of the domestic situation, the opposition is becoming more and more powerful, and the United States'' attitude towards him is much worse. So now, his power is indeed on the verge of danger. There is still one or two years to go before the next change of term, and ample is ample. However, based on the current situation and the secret poll data found, it is really delayed until the next general election, so he is very likely to be ousted. At that time, no matter who comes up, he and his family will be liquidated! "Enrique, do you think I will wait until the time is up to open the general election, or open the general election in advance?" After a long time, Ferdinand looked at Enrique Brod and asked quietly. This question caused Enrique Broder to be very excited. He raised his head and glanced at the president, his mouth squirming, but he did not dare to speak. Able to be in charge of the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation, of course, know that you can''t talk nonsense. "Enrique, don''t think too much." "There must be someone doing things without hiding from me, but you are my eyes, you can know the most clearly. UU Reading " "When it is critical, you have to show your value, and I need to listen to the truth." Ferdinand stared, and ordered. Enrique Broder took a deep breath and bit his scalp and said: "President Ferdinand, what the National Bureau of Investigation has found is not very good. It has been reported to you before. The opposition has united and increased its propaganda. , Bewitching the people to hate us." "Those newspapers and media have foreign capital behind them, and they can''t move, which has a great impact on the foundation of our Socialist Party." "If it is really delayed for a year or two, then our chances of winning are really not big" After speaking, Enrique Brod held his breath, lowered his head not to look at Ferdinand. "I know." "Go down first, continue to pay attention to the movement of the opposition, and report to me as soon as you find it." "Yes!" "Then I will go down first." Come on, Enrique Brod left Ferdinand''s office quickly. Wait until he is gone. Ferdinand stepped down from his position, paced back and forth in the office, and kept thinking about the situation in the second half of the year in his mind. His face also kept changing. For a long time, he let out a long breath, his eyes full of sternness. "The opposition has gained momentum this year, and I seem to have been led by them all the time." "Their deployment must be disrupted." "The general election must be opened in advance, otherwise the advantages will be easily worn out a little bit!" After making up his mind, he immediately called his confidants to discuss the matter. Philippines, the wind is getting stronger : I''m really sorry. These days, the spine hurts. The position of 1520 cm from the waist up makes it painful to sit and walk, and the code is not good. I can get up after sitting for a few minutes. v3 Chapter 1397: Overwhelming In the next half month, undercurrents surging in the Philippine political arena. Ferdinand convened all his confidants to discuss the opening of the general election ahead of schedule, and the supporting opinions accounted for the majority, which also strengthened Ferdinand''s confidence. Most importantly, Ferdinand made a special trip to the United States and met Ronald Reagan. Although Ronald Reagan did not give him a good face and questioned his series of actions that undermined the image of "democracy" in the Philippines, after all, he did not fall apart. It doesn''t matter if you are angry, Ferdinand is afraid that Ronald Reagan will completely give up support for him. Therefore, Ferdinand has repeatedly assured Ronald Reagan what will happen to him after his re-election. After that, Ferdinand was determined to return to the Philippines. The day after he returned, he announced the dissolution of the Philippine Congress and the opening of the general election ahead of schedule. The official election time is set for January 12, 1986! After the news was announced, he thought he had caught the opposition by surprise. But I don''t know that there is a group of people in the Philippines who are very excited, and at the same time, this group of people are more and more awed by Xia Yu. What Ferdinand didn¡¯t even know was that after he sent an application to the United States, Xia Yu had been to Washington and played two hours of golf with Ronald Reagan as soon as he got the news. In this half month. The pattern of the American business community has changed a lot. And the impact will be very far-reaching. First of all, the Gulf Oil Company has completely come to an end. The Gulf Oil Company completed the split, and the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company received half of its oil and gas reserves. In the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company, the parent company Gulf Oil Company only symbolically holds 1 share, which is almost infinitely close to zero. For this company, Exxon Petroleum holds as much as 774 shares, completing the actual dominance. Whether or not to annex the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company is entirely up to Exxon Oil Company. The Pacific Oil Company concentrated all its rights and interests in Gulf Oil Company. The shareholding is as high as 682. Considering that Gulf Oil still maintains its status as a listed company, its equity is relatively dispersed. Therefore, with the shareholding ratio of 682, no one party can shake the dominant position of Pacific Oil Company. International crude oil prices have not yet reached the bottom, and Gulf Oil''s share price is still relatively high. Therefore, Xia Yu does not intend to privatize the Gulf Oil Company for the time being, and will continue to wait. The battle at Morgan Trust in New York has greatly reduced the prestige of the Rockefeller family. In the articles of association of Morgan Trust Company in New York, it is stipulated that the chairman and vice-chairmen shall be elected by the board of directors by a majority of all directors. I don''t know how much benefit John Chris Morgan promised. Anyway, after the election of the board of directors, the positions of former chairman David Rockefeller and vice chairman John Chris Morgan were reversed. And after John Chris Morgan became the chairman, he showed no mercy to David Rockefeller. The first proposal submitted to the board of directors is to temporarily suspend the company''s trading and rename the company. The changed company name is Morgan Bank, and the corresponding stock market code should also be changed. This proposal was passed by more than half of the vote on the board of directors. About this board meeting of Morgan Trust Company in New York, the outside world was fascinating. Some said that David Rockefeller was furious on the spot, some said that David Rockefeller slammed the door and left, and some said that John Chris Morgan laughed wildly at the venue. Anyway, no matter how it spreads outside. The Rockefeller Consortium lost control of the fifth largest bank in the United States. This will have a major impact on the power system of the entire Rockefeller consortium. The renamed Morgan Bank has board seats in many giant companies. These directors, who were all David Rockefeller before, belonged to the employees of the Rockefeller consortium. Once John Chris Morgan replaces these people with his confidants, the subsequent struggle between the two consortiums will no longer be confined to Morgan Bank, and wars will spread everywhere. At that time, it will be head-on head-to-head in multiple areas, and the dog''s brain will be played out. Therefore, the leaders of many forces are convening think tanks to study the matter, to see how to avoid being caught, and whether there is a chance to benefit from it like the directors of Morgan Bank. All in all, the storm in the United States has intensified. However, these have little to do with Xia Yu for the time being. Because of its short establishment time, the Polaris Consortium has not been able to penetrate the United States into the established consortium very strongly, and it is still in the stage of accumulating its heritage and strength. With this in mind, it would be better to chop the Cleveland consortium a few more times. However, at this time, the North Star Consortium¡¯s equity acquisition of various targets has become difficult. The equity that can be taken is basically grabbed, and the rest are basically hard bones. At this time, you need to adjust the offensive direction. Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. It''s time for a showdown with the Cleveland Consortium! Therefore, after reporting to Xia Yu and receiving affirmative instructions. Peter Lynch, president of Polaris Capital, took Alman Simmons and other right-hand men to Cleveland, Ohio. After arriving in Cleveland, Peter Lynch met with the Mellon family team. The team of the Mellon family is led by James Mellon, who has stepped down as chairman of the Gulf Oil Company. "Mr. Lynch, it''s an honor to meet you, I''m James Mellon." "Mr. Mellon, it''s also my honor to meet you." "Hello, Mr. Simmons." "" Both sides are allies, and this time they came together to put pressure on the Cleveland consortium. After meeting, they were all smiles naturally. "Mr. Mellon, let''s go, it seems that those people are waiting in a hurry." Glancing at Douglas Mather and others who had come out of the door, Peter Lynch said with a smile to James Mellon. "Alright, let''s be together." After all, a group of people walked in the direction of Douglas Mather and others. Meeting with several big families of the Cleveland Consortium, the atmosphere is not good, it can even be said to be very cold. After shaking hands bluntly and asking for a few words, he entered the conference room for negotiation. The Polaris Capital Consortium and the Mellon Consortium sit on one side, and the Cleveland Consortium sits on the opposite side. Both sides are enemies, and sitting together is only a matter of interest. So after sitting down, I didn''t bother to overdo it, and went straight to the topic. "Mr. Mather, Mr. Hanna, Mr. Humphrey, and Mr. Eaton." "Before coming today, we and the Mellon family have reached an agreement." "Whether it is a war or a peace, we don''t care, it depends on how you choose." "You provoked the war. If you continue to fight it, we won''t have any losses." "Today, the three of us can sit down and talk. The biggest beneficiary is your Cleveland consortium. We hope that you can show your sincerity, otherwise we don''t know what it will look like if we continue." After Peter Lynch finished speaking, James Mellon echoed: "Mr. Lynch''s attitude is also ours." "Actually, within our Mellon family, the opinion that we agreed to negotiate with you is only just over half of the time. Holding tens of billions of dollars in funds, we are fully confident." This sentence is full of threats. Douglas Mather and Reginald Hannah heard the muscles beating, but they did not dare to attack. The situation of the Mellon family and the Mellon consortium is actually clear to the top of the United States. As the strength of the Mellon Consortium has shrunk and the control of the financial core is completed, the flow of funds of the Mellon Consortium has definitely skyrocketed. Tens of billions of dollars may be exaggerated, but Douglas Mather and others have no doubt that the cash flow of the Mellon consortium will be less than 15 billion U.S. dollars. This amount alone is enough to toss the Cleveland consortium. However, in negotiations, the momentum is completely downwind, which is very harmful. So Douglas Mather said without changing his face: "Mr. Lynch, Mr. Mellon, you don''t have to deliberately frighten us." "The Mellon Consortium can survive by docking, and we can do the same." "We haven''t reached this point yet, doesn''t mean we don''t have the courage to do it!" "Of course we also hope to sit down and settle our grievances through negotiations, but if we exceed our bottom line, then we would rather fall to Rockefeller completely, even if we completely become vassals!" Peter Lynch sneered: "If you choose this way, UU read , then we don''t really matter. We can also sell everything in our hands to the Morgan Consortium in exchange for other benefits." "I think John Chris Morgan would definitely be willing to take over." "Just by then, I don''t know if the Cleveland Consortium will be the same as the previous Chicago Consortium." Reginald Hannah, whose temper was a bit violent, was stimulated to flush on the ground. But Peter Lynch didn''t give him a chance to have a seizure. Say directly: "Well, don''t say so many meaningless words." "These things are what we need." "And these are what you want." "Satisfy our requirements, we will no longer trouble the Cleveland Consortium, you can completely clean up other people." "This is the list of our Mellon consortium." James Mellon also threw the list out. The lists of the two parties arrived in front of Douglas Mather and the others. After a glance, the expressions of each became very ugly. They didn''t expect the enemy to get so many shares in core companies. In particular, the Polaris consortium, which acted first, has too many chips in hand. For example, the shares of Cleveland Trust Company 121, the shares of Cleveland National City Bank 112, the shares of American Financial Group Co., Ltd. 223, the shares of Cokai International Group 194, the shares of Fifth Third Bank Corporation 176, and so on. Five core financial companies have been acquired so many shares by the other party. I don¡¯t know how much it took the Polaris Consortium to win so much equity ahead of them! If these shares are held in the hands of the Polaris Consortium, they are completely in your throat, and you must be prepared at any time! v3 Chapter 1398: Polaris consortium eats support In addition to these five core financial companies. On the list of bargaining chips given by Peter Lynch, there are many other core companies'' equity, and the proportions vary, and there are many heavyweight company equity. In fact, there is no need to look at other equity, just the equity of the top five financial core companies. Douglas Mather and others knew that they had to compromise. Otherwise, there will be trouble in the future! The list given by James Mellon has fewer chips than the Polaris consortium. However, the Mellon Consortium is a veteran Eastern Consortium after all, and has been dealing with the Cleveland Consortium since the last century. The historical foundation lies in the fact that there are many bargaining chips that can be exchanged with other forces, and the personal connections are stronger than the newly emerging Polaris consortium. Therefore, although the counterattack is slower than the Polaris consortium, it still has a lot of important chips in a short period of time. In the face of these bombs, Douglas Mather and others had to submit. It¡¯s just that the interest negotiations that will begin soon will put them under great pressure... to this end. Douglas Mather, Reginald Hanna and others left midway, obviously to unify their opinions. Peter Lynch and James Mellon took the initiative. They sat in a stable position and let them go out to discuss. On the contrary, James Mellon and Peter Lynch took the opportunity to chat and laugh. Time passed by every minute. After a long time... Douglas Mather and other talents finally returned to their positions. "Everyone, how is the negotiation?" "It''s getting late. Let''s negotiate the price as soon as possible. Mr. James Mellon and I have just made an appointment. There will be other activities in the evening." Peter Lynch smiled and said to Douglas Mather and others. "OK!" ¡­ Next, it is naturally time for the members to show their abilities brought by the three parties. Peter Lynch, James Mellon and others are responsible for making decisions at critical moments. There are too many transactions involved, and each of them has significant benefits. Of course, it is impossible to negotiate all of them today. Therefore, the night activities of Peter Lynch and James Mellon can''t be put into action. 78 Chinese Network However, fortunately, Douglas Mather and others were very anxious, so they chose to suffer a disadvantage in the present and a long-term loss. This allowed the transaction to be completed after just over a day. Peter Lynch, James Mellon and others all returned with a rewarding experience. Douglas Mather and others have suffered, and the anger and depression in their hearts can only be spread to other forces that have fallen into trouble. After Peter Lynch returned to San Francisco, he immediately called Xia Yu and reported the specific situation. The results are naturally extremely gratifying. The equity of the five major financial companies under the Cleveland Consortium, Macy¡¯s, Kegrow Company, and Cleveland Natural Resources, and other heavyweights, although the acquisition cost is high, the sale price is higher. In these chips, a total of 2.37 billion US dollars in profits. But for Xia Yu, money is of secondary importance. What he values ??more is the company assets snatched from the Cleveland consortium. So the profits made are also invested in the acquisition. 20.4% of the equity of the National Mutual Insurance Company was taken by the insurance company. In addition to the shares originally acquired from other sources, this nation¡¯s eighth-largest auto insurance service provider and ninth-largest home insurance service provider has already been held 52.2% by the insurance company. Wait until later to find a suitable time. Once the two insurance companies merge, another giant in the US insurance industry will appear, and the Polaris Consortium''s insurance industry will be completely established. Dana''s 25.7% equity was eaten up. This company specializes in auto parts. Founded in 1904, Dana Corporation is a leading supplier of transmission systems, seals and thermal management products worldwide. Dana Corporation is a global leader in the design, technology and manufacturing of high-value-added products and systems for automobile manufacturers, commercial vehicle manufacturers, and off-highway vehicle manufacturers. Cooperative customers include Rolls-Royce, BMW, GM, Ford, Nissan, and other world-renowned automobile companies. There are dozens of factories around the world, and the strength is very strong. Coupled with the equity knocked down from the Cleveland Consortium, the Polaris Consortium controls 47.6% of Dana''s equity, which can be regarded as a relatively stable control. Xia Yu''s entire automobile empire has further strengthened its industrial chain. In the industrial sector, Parker Hannifin has a 30.3% stake, Sherwin-Williams has a 28.1% stake, and Procter & Gamble has a 21.5% stake. In particular, Procter & Gamble, which was established in 1837, is a century-old company, and it is also an American consumer giant in daily necessities. In August of this year, Procter & Gamble also acquired Richardson Vickers, a manufacturer of Pantene, Olay (Olay) and Vickers cardiopulmonary health care products, and is committed to expanding the medical and health products market. The current market value of Procter & Gamble is as high as $4.9 billion! With the three equity looted from the Cleveland Consortium, these three companies naturally entered the camp of the Polaris Consortium. In addition to the equity acquired by other parties, the Polaris Consortium holds 55.8% of Parker Hannifin, 59.2% of Sherwin-Williams, and 48.1% of Procter & Gamble. In addition to the equity of these companies, there is another big gain, that is, the Cleveland Consortium¡¯s only food company in the food field has been snatched over. ConAgra Foods, another century-old store established in 1861. This is a company that mainly produces and sells processed and packaged food. Its popular brands include Banquet, Men''s Kitchen, EggBeaters, Healthy Choice, Hebrew Hot Dogs, MarieCallender''s, Oliver Redenbach, etc., brands The variety is very rich. The reason why it is robbed is that the Cleveland consortium holds 42.9% of the company''s shares, and under normal circumstances there is no possibility of being acquired. It can only be said that this time the North Star Consortium held too many chips, Douglas Mather, Reginald Hanna and others had to cut their meat with tears, even if their hearts were dripping blood! Therefore, it is a pleasant surprise for this company to be taken down. As long as it acquires some equity in the future, it will be able to complete the relative holding easily and sit back and relax. In addition to these important companies, what is left are scattered holdings that are not important to the Cleveland consortium. Because of funding, Peter Lynch took all the equity he needed. For example, Lai Aide has 6.7% equity, Mylan 7.5% equity, Comcast 10.2% equity, Sun Oil 5.3% equity, American Heinz 6.6% equity, and so on. 166 The Polaris Consortium has previously taken part of the shares of these companies from the Mellon Consortium. Now get another part from the Cleveland consortium to reinforce it and prepare for the complete control of these companies in the future. No way, the time for the rise of the Polaris consortium is too short. Basically, all fields in the United States are occupied by many established companies. Although new companies rise every year, they are still very few. This is not the era of rapid rise of recklessness, and the class pyramid has basically solidified. Therefore, Xia Yu''s strategy for the Polaris consortium is to erode step by step, steadily and steadily, and target some large companies to earn income under the brand of the Polaris consortium. This process will inevitably impact the interests of other established forces. This is also the reason why the original ruling class does not want the rise of new interest groups. But the Polaris Consortium has Xia Yu behind the scenes, and they can''t stop it! After eating up a large sum of assets of the Mellon Consortium and the Cleveland Consortium, it cost the Polaris Consortium more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. In these short two months, the Polaris Consortium was full of greasy food, and it was too much for it. Therefore, Xia Yu asked Peter Lynch to keep a low profile as much as possible for the next six months, digest the food in his stomach as soon as possible, and transform it into powerful strength. As for the further reinforcement and control of these companies, they will be put on hold for the time being, and will be discussed after half a year, until the time comes to wait for his order. ¡­ With the retreat of the Polaris Consortium and the Mellon Consortium, the pressure on the Cleveland Consortium has dropped sharply. However, the Cleveland consortium, whose strength has been greatly damaged, can only kill some weak chickens if it wants to kill the chickens. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Cleveland Consortium to completely calm the waves. Even if it succeeds in stopping the fight, Douglas Mather and others will have to lick their wounds. Xia Yu didn''t intend to get in the fight between the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, which is now intensifying. These two powers are at their peak, no matter how they fight, there will be no big gap between victory and defeat, and the strength of the losing party is still not easy to provoke. Moreover, although his strength is not weak, but in this special period, there is no way to make a fortune. This time the emergency funds are only used to grab some companies, and I am afraid that the village will be gone. The time is not right, and he has no time to provoke the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums. Continue to farm and grow your strength quietly is the kingly way! Therefore, knowing that nothing happened in the United States, Xia Yu planned to return to Xiangjiang. Although his father-in-law Richard King Mellon was still unconscious and was judged to be a vegetative by the doctor, his condition was stabilized and he would not die easily. He and Sandy stayed in the United States and won''t make any difference. So after staying in Philadelphia for two days again, Xia Yu said goodbye. Philadelphia Airport. It was Leonard and Woodlow who saw Xia Yu and Sandy off. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Before boarding. Leonard hugged Xia Yu affectionately, and after letting go, he said sincerely: "Xia Yu, thank you for your help." "Leonard, no thanks, after all we are a family, I don''t want to see Sandy sad." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. Afterwards, he smiled, and after thinking about it, he urged earnestly: "Leonard, the head of the family and the head of the consortium are not easy to sit in. You must always pay attention in the future. I suggest that you should be steady. After all, Any one of your decisions will affect the overall situation." "Now the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums are still fighting. With their energy, the DuPont consortium, the Texas consortium, the First Citigroup, the Boston consortium and the California consortium are likely to be involved in the future." "For you, the crisis this time is actually a good thing. The consortium has been cleaned up and a part of the benefits from the Cleveland consortium has been taken away. In fact, the overall strength of the Mellon consortium has not changed much, but its control has improved a lot. " "Do not intervene easily in the fight between them, you are qualified to watch." "If you need help later, just contact me and I will try my best to help." Leonard Mei nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will keep your words in my heart." "Then, goodbye!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and after speaking, he boarded the plane with Sandi and others. Brothers Leonard and Woodlow stood there all the time, watching the plane rush to the sky. "Woodlow, we have to keep working hard!" "let''s work hard together!" The new chapter of the Mellon Consortium is gradually kicking off... PS: A man is a teenager until his death, I wish my little brothers a happy holiday! If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1399: The booming Hong Kong "After two months, I''m back..." After getting off the plane and looking at the familiar Kai Tak International Airport, Xia Yu smiled and sighed. Although the United States is also good, it is not as comfortable as Xiangjiang, and it is finally back. Xiandi didn''t speak, holding Xia Yu''s hand and pasting it on Xia Yu''s body. Since becoming pregnant, Sandy has become more and more dependent on her husband, as if only in this way can she feel the peace of mind from the heart. "Sandy, let''s go home!" "Well, it''s been a long time since I saw my sisters." Sandi let out a soft hum, a flash of longing in her eyes. Xia Yu smiled and helped her into the bulletproof car. Subsequently, the luxury convoy drove out of the airport and headed for home. ... Although Elena, Sumitomo Kumiko, Li Qian and Ho each have a career, they are all pregnant after all, so they put themselves and their children''s health first. Work can still be done, but it has become the spice of life. 78 Chinese Network After all, Xia Yu went to the United States. They stayed at home all day without illness, and they would also suffer from illness. But today, they know that Xia Yu will be back, and they are not allowed to pick up the plane at the airport, so they can only stay at home collectively, looking forward to it. "When will my husband be back~" Sumitomo Kumiko looked at the parenting book, but the content that was usually read was completely out of her mind at this time. She put down the book and looked out the door with her chin supported. "Calculate the time, if the plane is not delayed, it should have arrived..." Elena stroked her belly and replied from the side. At this moment, there seemed to be a roar of car engines in the distance. "It''s the team, is your husband back?" "Let''s go out and have a look." Li Qian said, expecting to often go outside, and the other women all followed. Sure enough, after they went out, they saw the leading black Rolls Royce driving into the huge courtyard, followed by many cars. After a while, a main vehicle in the middle drove into the aisle at the entrance of the villa, and then the door opened. Xia Yu and Sandi got out of the car one after another. "Husband, you are back!" "Husband, Sandy, welcome home!" "Cici, Elena, Kumiko, Chao Qiong, miss you so much~" For a while, the door of the villa was permeated with an atmosphere of joy and joy. The longing for the girls accumulated for two months broke out completely at this moment. Although it made Xia Yu a little messy, this feeling made him intoxicated. Later, Xia Yu asked people to take gifts from the car. After a group of people entered the house, Xia Yu surprised them one by one. One afternoon, there was laughter at home. They are all curious about what happened to Xia Yu and Sandy in the United States. Xia Yu was also very patient, and gave them vivid descriptions of what happened in the United States. The plot is full of treacherous, ups and downs, so that they have a clearer understanding of the complex and cruel struggles between consortia. Although both Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko were born in a large consortium, they are girls and young people after all, and it is impossible for them to come into contact with such deep-seated things without heir status. What''s more, this level of struggle does not easily break out. In the next two days, Xia Yu recuperated at home to recuperate from the jet lag and strengthened the relationship with his wives. After taking a break, Xia Yu began to walk out of the house. And his first trip was to Lamma Island to inspect the construction of the Lamma Island petrochemical base. After more than a year of full construction, Lamma Island has undergone earth-shaking changes. The original barren hills and wastelands were flattened and replaced by huge oil refineries and super-large oil storage tanks. When I actually came to the scene, the visual impact was even stronger. After arriving at the scene, Xia Yu found that Governor Su Xingjian was already there. "Mr. Xia, long time no see!" Seeing Xia Yu getting off the car, Su Xingjian walked up to say hello with a smile on his face. "Mr. Governor, long time no see!" Xia Yu responded with a smile and nodded, looking at the other person, who was his subordinate, Liang Rong, the person in charge of the Lamma Island Refinery Project of Pacific Oil Company. "Hello, Chairman, you are welcome to inspect!" "Well, let''s go, take me around." After Xia Yu said, Liang Rong immediately led Xia Yu to the built factory area, and at the gate, he also put on a helmet specially. "Chairman, the ten-million-ton petrochemical base project started in September last year and finally completed the construction of the first phase of the project until November this year. The production capacity of the first phase can reach 3 million tons of oil refining per year. " "Now the first phase of the refinery is already in operation, look over there." As he walked, Liang Rong introduced him and pointed towards a smoking tower. "The second and third phases of the plant area have completed land leveling and foundation construction. According to the plan, the second phase of the three million-ton oil refinery project will be officially completed and put into operation in May 1986." "The third phase of the plant has a production capacity of 4 million tons and is expected to be officially completed and put into production before December 1986..." After Liang Rong finished introducing the situation. Xia Yu suddenly stopped and asked, "I started oil refining last month. How is the business situation so far?" Liang Rong has long been so familiar with it, and he reported cherishedly: "To be precise, it started production on the 15th of last month. Because it was just opened, it did not reach full capacity." "Last month''s half-month refining volume was 92,700 tons." "So far this month, the refining capacity is 183,100 tons, and the load factor has reached 95.5%." "A total of 275,800 tons of fuel has been sold in two months. There is no inventory." "In terms of sales, it reached 312.47 million Hong Kong dollars and gross profit was 68.74 million Hong Kong dollars..." At this time, Su Xingjian on the side said with a smile: "After the petrochemical base on Lamma Island was put into operation, last month and this month, the fuel import volume of Heung Kong has dropped a lot, and the effect is obvious." "That''s good!" "If we can refine oil ourselves, it is not easy to be caught by others, and the industrial field and the people''s livelihood consumption field are more secure." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said. The oil refining industry makes considerable profits without worrying about sales. If the third-phase plant of the Pacific Oil Company with a total oil refining capacity of 10 million tons is put into operation, the annual output value will be at least 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit will be more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the premise is that it can be produced at full capacity and that fuel and additional products can be sold. As for this, Xia Yu is not worried at all. Anyway, the markets of Xiangjiang and Omen, with his energy, can eat seven or eight floors. If he really wants to kill them all, it''s not impossible to eat them all. As for oil exports, Star City really doesn''t necessarily have the ability to compete against him, even if the refineries in Star City are basically those of international oil giants. The future of Lamma Island''s petrochemical base is bright! Xiangjiang''s petrochemical industry has also risen! After inspecting the factory area that has already been put into production, Xia Yu also went to see the factory area under construction, which was being constructed in an orderly manner. Later, Xia Yu also went to the nearby oil port. The Lamma Island Petroleum Port has been completed and is operated by Hutchison Whampoa Port Company. The docked tankers are already unloading oil. It is worth mentioning that these oil tankers, except for Orient Overseas, are also owned by Wheelock Shipping. Fertilizer water is still circulating in our own fields. "Liang Rong, work hard, don''t let me down!" Before getting into the car, Xia Yu patted Liang Rong on the shoulder and said to him earnestly. "Please rest assured, the chairman, I will do my best!" Liang Rong promised in a loud voice with his head raised up and his chest upright. "Ok!" "Go ahead, report to the report if you have anything, or go to Governor Su if you have any difficulties." "Yes!" "Mr. Governor, do you want to go to Chek Lap Kok together?" Faced with Xia Yu''s question, Su Xingjian responded with a smile: "Of course, the new Xiangjiang International Airport has reached the late stage of construction, I must accompany you to see it." "Then go." ... There is a journey from Lamma Island to Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island in the Islands District. Compared with the petrochemical base on Lamma Island, the new Heung Kong International Airport was constructed earlier. The project was established at the end of January last year, and it has been 23 months, and it is only two years away from one month! Although Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island is deserted and uninhabited, in addition to the construction of the new Heung Kong International Airport, roads from the urban area to Chek Lap Kok have to be built, as well as part of the land reclamation. However, in the past two years, under the full construction of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., which has the honor of "King of Xiangjiang Infrastructure", the construction of Xiangjiang International Airport has also reached its later stage. According to the entire project, four-fifths of the project has been completed. After some inspections, Xia Yu was very satisfied with the results. The passenger terminal building has been completed as a whole, but further renovation is needed. As for the registration counters, shopping gallery, ground transportation center and other supporting facilities, the construction is almost complete. There are two airport runways with a length of 3.8 kilometers, and there are 63 parking spaces. As far as the current scale is concerned, there is absolutely no need for expansion within ten years! After understanding, this Xiangjiang International Airport is expected to be officially put into use before June 1986. By then, the old Kai Tak International Airport can be declared over. According to Su Xingjian, the annual passenger volume of Hong Kong in 1984 exceeded 10 million passengers, and the standard of tens of millions of passengers in the fourth phase of Kai Tak International Airport has been surpassed. Even after a small expansion, the standard is only an increase of two million passengers, this year it does not matter, it may not be able to sustain it until next year. 166 It happens that the new Hong Kong International Airport will be opened in the middle of next year. The seamless connection will not affect the image of Hong Kong and the development of the tourism and entertainment industry. Inspected the construction of the Lamma Island chemical base, and then went to see the situation at the Hong Kong International Airport On the way back, Su Xingjian asked to chat with Xia Yu, so he got in Xia Yu''s car. The content of the chat is nothing more than Xia Yu''s concern, and it is also the effectiveness of the people''s livelihood work done by the Hong Kong government. Housing, education, medical care, etc. have achieved remarkable results in the past two years. Three new hospitals were built, as well as three public universities and two private universities. In terms of public rental housing, this year is also the target of 100,000 units, and the work has been completed ahead of schedule. In addition to the 100,000 public rental housing units last year, the total is 200,000 units. In two years, the housing problem of at least 800,000 people has been solved. Coupled with the suppression of a group of conscientious real estate companies such as Jiuding Real Estate Group and Land Group, the average house price in Xiangjiang is now 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, which is equivalent to the level of 1978. In 1978, the monthly income of ordinary residents in Hong Kong was only about two thousand Hong Kong dollars. And now, the monthly income of ordinary residents in Hong Kong has risen to about 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. Income has more than doubled, but house prices have fallen back to the height of eight years ago, and the pressure on residents to buy a house has dropped sharply. The price of an 80-square-meter residence is only 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. It is equivalent to the salary and income level of the husband and wife for more than three years. The difficulty of buying a house is already very low! Therefore, Xia Yu gave Su Xingjian a suggestion that the Hong Kong government''s public rental housing policy can be slowed down, and a maximum of 10,000 units can be launched a year. The number of residents in Fuze is enough to exceed the natural population growth every year. After all, Xiangjiang''s real estate industry is related to too many jobs and links to a lot of industries. If you continue to suppress it, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. It is enough to maintain this level. Xia Yu¡¯s suggestion was fully remembered by Su Xingjian, ready to set the tone for the development policy of the Hong Kong government in the coming year.

Back home, Xia Yu was a little surprised. "Amin, Xiaomei, it''s not Friday today, why are you back?" "Don''t you need to go to class?" "Brother, I haven''t seen you for a few months and missed you, so I came back." Xia Xiaomei is already a nineteen-year-old girl, she is very slim, not only is she beautiful, her mouth is also very sweet, she smiled and looked at Xia Yu and said. On the contrary, Xia Ming became more mature and stable. Although he had stood up, after calling Xia Yu, he looked at him quietly. "What you said sounds very comfortable, but why do I not believe it a little bit?" Xia Yu teased his sister and sat down on the sofa. "Sister-in-law, you have to testify for me!" Xia Xiaomei pouted her mouth, her eyes rolled, she chose to blow the pillow wind, held the arm of her closest sister-in-law, Li Qian, looked at the other sister-in-laws, and said softly. This appearance made everyone laugh. Xia Yuchao smiled and shook his head: "Well, Xiaomei, brother is wrong." "Then I forgive you!" Xia Xiaomei said with a smile. "Amin, are you going to graduate next summer?" Xia Yu picked up an orange and said to Xia Ming on the opposite side while peeling it. The university his younger brother Xia Ming attended was Jiuding University, and he enrolled in the autumn of 1983. With Xia Yu as an example and no pressure in life, Xia Ming is very diligent in studying, majoring in political science, economics and philosophy. This is a new compound major created by Jiuding University to cultivate political talents in an all-round way. Xia Ming is the fourth batch of students in this major (Jiuding University is a three-year program). When Xia Ming enrolled, the first class of students just graduated. According to the school''s statistical survey, 95.7% of the students who graduated from this major have entered the political arena, and their abilities are all comprehensive, so that the reputation of the major of Jiuding University has come out. . In addition to majoring in this major, Xia Ming also actively minored in International Affairs and International Relations, which was required by Xia Yu. "Yes it is." "Brother, I have completed all the courses I should take now, and the grades in every subject are pretty good." Xia Ming sat up straight and replied softly. Xia Yu thoughtfully: "So, what do you want to tell me when you come back today?" Xia Ming took a deep breath and looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said: "Big brother, the school will open a graduate school this year, and my tutor has also specifically looked for me, hoping that I will be a graduate student." "But I rejected it. I think my theoretical foundation is sufficient for the time being, and I want to use practice to verify the knowledge I have learned." "Now I have completed the course ahead of schedule, and there will be no classes until I graduate next year." "So I want to go to the internship in advance, and also in the internship process, to complete my graduation thesis." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "It is up to you to decide whether to go to graduate school. If you want to achieve something, you must combine theory with practice." "Now that you have an idea, let it go." "What do you think about your own way?" With Xia Yu''s support, Xia Ming''s mental state is obviously fuller. He confided his thoughts: "Brother, I majored in political science, economics and philosophy, and minored in international affairs and international relations. I have to prepare a graduation thesis for both majors." "But time is limited, and Xiangjiang''s situation is special. The diplomatic power still belongs to the United Kingdom. Xiangjiang''s international affairs and international relations are very special. From the outside world, it can be seen in the cloud." "So I want to see if I can enter the Hong Kong government to exercise my international vision, broaden my own horizons, and shape a relatively grand three outlook, and then start from the lower level." "I also consulted the education office of the family office. The opinion there is that this path can be taken, but it is not the most suitable path for me." "It''s just that I hope to resolve social conflicts from the root cause, so I want to go this way." After listening to his brother''s words, Xia Yu was very pleased. "It''s good for you to have this kind of idea. The opinions of the family office can be used for your reference. If you don''t have a strong opinion, then you can follow that." "But if you have an idea, you can practice it according to your own ideas. Anyway, you are still young." After speaking, Xia Yu paused and thought for a while. Then he sat up straight, crossed his palms, and said in a questioning tone: "In this way, I will ask Su Xingjian to set up a special secretary assistant position for you. You will work out with the Governor for two years first." "Two years are enough for you to have a clear understanding of the work and functions of the Hong Kong government, and to shape the top-level vision." "After two years, you can start from the grassroots community." Xia Ming nodded and smiled: "Thank you, brother." Xia Ming smiled, but Xia Yu put away his smile and looked at him seriously. Xia Ming''s smile froze for an instant, and he straightened up again, sitting tightly looking at Xia Yu. Xia Yu said in a deep voice, "You will be 22 years old after the New Year. From now on, you have ten years." "Ten years later, you are ready to take over the position of Governor of Hong Kong!" Xia Ming was completely unprepared and looked at Xia Yu in shock. Xia''s mother, sister Xia Xiaomei, and Li Qian in the living room also looked at Xia Yu in surprise. "A Yu, ten years later, Amin is only thirty-two years old. Is this possible?" When Xia''s mother Chen Mei said this, she felt her heart trembling. Although Governor Su Xingjian has visited her son several times at home, she is also aware of the influence of her elder son Xia Yu. But the eldest son''s against the sky, she has become accustomed to, giving birth to such a son is completely smoke from the ancestral grave... No, it was the ancestral grave that caught fire. 78 Chinese Network The eldest son Xia Yu only said several times that he arranged for his second son Xia Ming to go to politics, but he didn''t say anything else. In her mind, although she has relatively high expectations for her second son, it is not so high either. Suddenly hearing Xia Yu''s words, Chen Mei couldn''t calm down at all. 166 Her second son, Xia Mingzhen, will be the governor at the age of thirty-two. He is definitely the youngest in the history of Xiangjiang! "Brother, is this too..." Xia Ming tried his best to calm herself down, swallowed and asked, but just said a few words and didn''t know how to express it. Xia Yu smiled and didn''t explain much, and exhorted: "Amin, you don''t have to think about promotion. What you have to do is to set this goal and try your best to temper yourself and improve your abilities." "''Uncoordinated'' is a person''s greatest sorrow and danger, do you understand?" "Age can never determine a person''s ability, believe in yourself, don''t let my parents and me down." Xia Ming gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and nodded firmly, "Big Brother, I understand, I won''t let you down!" "That''s right, come on." "Second brother, come on, I believe you can." "Amin, come on, mom will support you." "..." Everyone in the living room cheered for Xia Ming, making his eyes moist, and secretly telling himself that he must go all out, not let everyone down, and realize his ambitions. That night, the atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, and Xia''s father couldn''t help drinking two more glasses. The next day, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to convey his meaning to Su Xingjian. In the afternoon, Xia Ming appeared at the Governor''s House and began his two-year experience as an assistant secretary to the Governor. And just when Xia Yu was dealing with the accumulated affairs in Xiangjiang. UU reading www. uukanshu.com The situation in the Philippines has become more turbulent, and internal struggles have intensified. The struggle between the Socialist Party and the opposition has all been put on the table, and they are all killing each other. As the current president, Ferdinand also controls the military and most of the public opinion tools such as radio, television, and newspapers in the Philippines. But with these advantages, it still does not have an advantage in public opinion. It can be seen that the people have deep grievances against him. It''s not that Ferdinand doesn''t want to do other little tricks, but that he doesn''t dare to do it on the bright side. Because of the domestic situation in the Philippines, Xia Yu''s media empire has been exposed internationally. Hundreds of foreign journalists have been attracted to the Philippines, chasing the hot spots of the Philippine election. At this time, any small movements of Ferdinand, as long as they were discovered, would be magnified to the extent that he was restrained. It was in this situation that the United States suddenly intervened. On January 1, 1986, "Manila Standard Today" disclosed a blockbuster news. That¡¯s part of a previous U.S. military document The above clearly stated that Ferdinand was arrested by a captain of the US military for "soliciting money by fraudulent means" before the end of World War II. As soon as the news was reported, it immediately attracted huge attention. Ferdinand panicked and called the United States the first time he wanted to talk to Ronald Reagan. But no matter how many hits, they were rejected. Why did Ferdinand still not understand, he was fooled by Reagan! After awakening, he was completely panicked... PS: I''m sorry, there have been too many things in the past two days, embarrassing and embarrassing, I resume the update today If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1401: 1 series of killer moves This "New Year''s Day Surprise" not only shocked Ferdinand. It also scared many members of the Socialist Party, including those who have always supported Ferdinand. This is the attitude from the United States! The signal is far stronger than any previous accusation! After all, they don''t believe that with the capabilities of "Manila Standard Today", they can obtain documents from the U.S. military forty or fifty years ago! Even if the confidentiality of this file should not be high... Public opinion in the Philippines was also caused by a huge wave of news from the "Manila Standard Today" news. The reputation of Ferdinand and the Socialist Party collapsed once again. Of course, Ferdinand turned into anger. Directly through the TV station, he strongly accused this was a "naked and explicit interference" by "some imperialists" in the internal affairs of the Philippines. His hysterical struggle still had a certain effect, after all, not everyone has enough right and wrong views. But it doesn''t matter! Because this news is just an appetizer. The feast is coming soon! January 2. "Manila Standard Today" covered a piece of shocking news. This news is like a peace bomb, the power of the explosion shocked everyone! Except for some pictures, news is a list provided by an anonymous person. On this list, some large assets are listed, and it is pointed out that these assets are all the assets of the Ferdinand family, worth up to tens of billions of dollars! Assets include 4 office buildings in Manhattan, New York, Beverly Hills Villa in Los Angeles, Honolulu Villa in Hawaii, 29 airplanes, piles of billions of dollars in cash, dozens of tons of gold, and many companies and TV stations. Farms, land, real estate, etc. With the page of "Manila Standard Today", it is natural that it cannot contain all the asset lists. But the news stated that the information provider has a complete list, and it was provided by Ferdinand¡¯s confidant, which is absolutely true! The information provider has given the complete list to many people, including foreign media! ¡­ "Give me the "Manila Standard Today"!" "It must be sealed immediately!" In the president''s office, Ferdinand yelled angrily. He tried to use this to conceal his inner panic and anxiety. He was still holding the remains of "Manila Standard Today" tightly in his hands, and many of the remaining fragments were lying quietly on the ground. The incomplete list published in the newspaper, outsiders can''t distinguish between true and false, can''t he still distinguish it? Every asset listed above is accurate! 78 Chinese Network For this reason, the description "provided by Ferdinand''s confidant" mentioned in the newspaper stung his eyes. Someone definitely betrayed him! Who is that person? Is the traitor hiding inside still staring at his every move? Is there more black material in your hands? All these unknown fears are constantly eroding his heart. He glanced at Enrique Brod, the director of the Bureau of Investigation who brought him the newspaper, his bloodshot eyes gleaming with blood. Enrique Broder panicked, his face changed drastically and he defended himself: "President Ferdinand, please believe me, the traitor can never be me!" "I have no reason to betray you!" "Huh...huh..." Ferdinand stared at Enrique Brod with red eyes, panting but not saying a word, staring at him like a rain of sweat. For a long time, Ferdinand''s eyes flashed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Brod, I believe you will not betray me." "You go out first, continue to monitor everything, and give me feedback in time." "Yes!" "President Ferdinand, then I will withdraw first." Enrique Broder answered loudly, and then quickly left the president''s office. When he closed the office door, he wiped a sweat and leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief. At this time, the cold touch on his back made him realize that before he knew it, his back was completely wet. "Hey¡­" With a sigh, Enrique Brod left worriedly. Just after he left. The head of the Philippine National Police hurried into Ferdinand¡¯s office, stayed for a few minutes and then hurriedly left. And ten minutes later. The head office of "Manila Standard Today" and its branches across the country have all been sealed up, and all personnel have been arrested and censored. The reason is to slander the head of the country for no reason. In addition, a series of newspapers sold at newsstands and bookstores on the market were all investigated, and all unsold "Manila Standard Today" were confiscated. This kind of breaking the rules and directly lifting the table shocked everyone, and the foreign media who witnessed all of this with their own eyes were all smashed. Although Xu Huange, his cousin and others were prepared for the closure of the Manila Standard Today, they were still surprised when this happened. But apart from their anger, they were also delighted, Ferdinand was already hysterical, and he was no longer recruited! And only ten days before the real election day! ¡­ That night. The head of the National Bureau of Investigation, Enrique Brod, had just arrived home dragging his exhausted body, only to find a black car suddenly rushing in front of him. Just when his guards were under martial law for the first time. I saw a white man coming out of the black car. The white man raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger, but he calmly walked towards Enrique Brod¡¯s car and said: "Enrique Brod Director De, I want to find you something that concerns the lives of you and your family!" Hearing this, where the guard dared to act rashly, he could only report to Enrique Brod through the window of the car for the first time. Enrique Brod, who wanted to order the shot, hesitated. After a while, the white man''s car followed into Enrique Brod''s villa. After an all-round search to ensure that there was no danger, the white man entered the living room under the leadership of the guard. In the living room, Enrique Broder was already sitting on the sofa, and four guards were standing around the sofa. "Say, who are you?" "Did you make the list in the Manila Standard Today?" Enrique Broder stared at the white man sternly, and asked in an interrogating tone. The white man was not frightened, and said with a faint smile: "It doesn''t matter who I am, Director Enrique Broder, what you should care more about now is your own future." "Everyone knows that you are Ferdinand''s confidant." "You should be very clear that Ferdinand is doomed to extinction, are you planning to go to extinction with him?" "If you fall, what will happen to the henchmen below you?" Speaking of the last sentence, the white man looked at the guards standing around. Under his gaze, the face of each guard fluctuates, and it has obviously been affected. Enrique Broder was in a heavy heart, swept around the guards, and ordered: "You go down first, I''m not allowed to come in without speaking." The guards did not speak and all left the living room. Soon, Enrique Brod and the white man were left in the living room. "Where are you from?" "A US agent?" Enrique Brod looked at him with scorching eyes. UU reading www. uukanshu.com The white man smiled and said, "I said, my identity is not important." "Director Enrique Broder, in fact, you should understand that from the moment you choose to let me in, you have no retreat!" Enrique Brod clenched his fists and fixed his eyes on the white man. For a long time, Enrique Broder sighed and lowered his head sadly. Upon seeing this, the white man continued to attack his mind. "Director Enrique Broder, in fact, you should be lucky to let me in, so you can leave yourself a way out." 166 "It''s useless for Ferdinand to block the Manila Standard Today. He can''t block foreign media. The complete list of corruption will be published in the world in the next two days." "And you don''t really think that all the witnesses to the assassination in 1983 have disappeared?" "Do you think Ferdinand still has a chance in the face of this series of fatal scandals?" "By the way, I have to remind you that many people have chosen to betray Ferdinand." "I am looking for you now because you still have a certain value. If you delay, you can imagine your future." Enrique Brod lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, his fists tightened and loosened. a long time. "Hey¡­" With a sigh sounded. Enrique Brod raised his head, looked at the white man, and slowly said, "What do you want me to do?" The white man smiled even more and slowly said, "You are the director of the National Bureau of Investigation of the Philippines, and you provide me with all the black material of Ferdinand you have." "it is good¡­" If the chapter is wrong, click here to report. After the report is submitted, the maintenance staff will correct the chapter content within two minutes. Please wait patiently. v3 Chapter 1402: An old era is over! Enrique Brod can sit in this position, his temperament and his wrists are not bad. Since he decided to betray Ferdinand, then he refused to do it. As the head of the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation, Ouchi, Ferdinand¡¯s absolute confidant. Enrique Brod has the most black material in Ferdinand''s hands! All these black materials, he took them out as a name for voting! It''s just that Enrique Brod doesn''t know it. In fact, he is the first traitor. The white man is just cheating on him. Blame only that he didn''t know that the net could find these secret information, and preconceived that someone had betrayed Ferdinand. His betrayal directly tore apart the core system of Ferdinand''s rule. The net went around in the dark, making targeted breakthroughs on many of Ferdinand¡¯s **** henchmen. Defense Minister Aduro Enrile, Armed Forces Acting Chief of Staff Ramos, Council of State Chris Toval and other heavyweights realized the sudden change in the situation, and they all fell into trouble in exchange for their own glory and wealth. Under their indulgence, there have been more and more anti-social parties and anti-Ferdinand demonstrations across the Philippines. And every political rally of the opposition has received monstrous voices. After returning a complete list of corrupt assets related to the Ferdinand family overseas, public opinion in the Philippines exploded. Opposing Ferdinand''s re-election, and the remarks that let him step down have bloomed everywhere. is completely the view of the beacon fire! On January 5, the Philippine Public Prosecutor''s Office announced that it would open a hearing again on the next day, indicting 25 soldiers and a government official including Ferdinand¡¯s most powerful eagle dog, Chief of Staff Bell of the Armed Forces! Only one week before the general election, the trial was suddenly opened again. This signal is strong enough! Ferdinand wanted to question Enrique Brod, but was suddenly told in horror that Enrique Brod had left Manila and went to investigate! Enrique Broder betrayed him! This is self-protection, avoiding him! For an instant, a thought came to Ferdinand''s mind. Ferdinand was frightened, but helpless. The parliament has been disbanded, and it is only a week before the general election. It is too late for him to remove Enrique Brod from the position! Even Enrique Brod has betrayed him, and there must be more people who have chosen to betray him. For a time, Ferdinand felt that there were enemies everywhere, and the huge Philippines seemed to have no place to stand! At this time, his eagle dog Bell and others, he has no intention of saving. He rushed back home the first time and summoned all his family back. His wife Imelda, daughter Aimee and son Ferdinand Jr. "My dear, what happened again?" Imelda looked at her husband a little restless, and asked worriedly. "Imelda, you pack your things now and leave the Philippines with your son and daughter." "Leave today, hurry up!" Ferdinand hurriedly gave orders. Imelda panicked completely. She grabbed Ferdinand¡¯s hand and asked nervously: "My dear, what happened, you tell me, or we leave and we don¡¯t know what to do." "Yeah, father, what happened?" Little Ferdinand also asked nervously. He has been a senior official and provincial councillor of Ilocos Norte Province since he was in his twenties. He knows that the current general election situation is not good for his father, but he should not panic his father so much. is now arranging a retreat, let them escape first! "Enrique Brod has betrayed me. He knows everything about me. Now these evidences are likely to be in the hands of the enemy." "Even he betrayed, there must be someone else who I don''t know betrayed me." "I have a slim chance of winning this election. I have a special status and a direct army. Even if the election fails, it will take some time for them to deal with me." "Only if you leave first, it will be more convenient for me to move." "You guys go quickly, take your private jet to leave, go to Canada, don''t go to the United States!" Ferdinand kept talking darkly. "how so?" "The general election has not yet been formally elected, why did Enrique Brod, as the director of the National Bureau of Investigation, betray you?" Imelda paled in fright, and said in disbelief. "The reason is not important anymore, please be obedient, settle down in Canada, and wait for my news at any time." Under Ferdinand¡¯s orders again, Imelda recognized the reality, and she had to rush to pack her bags with her children. That night, taking advantage of the darkness, Imelda boarded the plane with his family and flew to Canada. And all this was recorded by someone who was hidden in the airport by the net in advance. January 6th. In the eyes of the public, the Philippine Public Prosecutor''s Office once again held a hearing, and some of the witnesses who had disappeared appeared again. There is not only a witness. Even the physical evidence is more complete than any previous one, which is completely iron proof. Part of the evidence was secretly provided by Ramos, acting chief of staff who succeeded Bell. The procuratorate announced the crimes of the 26 defendants on the spot and filed a prosecution to the court! The procuratorate''s trial was already being watched by countless interested people. After the trial was over, news was flying all over the sky. This result once again caused a heavy blow to Ferdinand¡¯s prestige. Some of the iron confidants who had been wobbly saw the bad news and made choices. After the procuratorate transfers the case to the court, the court should make a decision within one month. Major and complex cases can be postponed for half a month. Only at this time, the court decided not to judge, which is temporarily not important to the opposition. The results of the procuratorate have been made public, and Ferdinand is powerless! After Ferdinand stepped down, the court retrial. If Bell and others are interested and accuse Ferdinand, it will be more useful! January 7th. Another news appeared overwhelmingly. The news that Ferdinand¡¯s wife and son fled the Philippines overnight was exposed, including not only photos at the airport in the Philippines, but also photos after arriving in Canada. The opposition used this news to continuously attack Ferdinand. This news is fatal to Ferdinand¡¯s remaining supporters! Election Day hasn¡¯t really come yet, but Ferdinand¡¯s mansion has crumbled to pieces. The voice of opposition to him resounded throughout the Philippines! ... In a blink of an eye, it was January 12th. The Philippine election has officially started. On this day, the 69-member international observer mission representing 32 countries has also arrived in Manila. Among them, Lugar, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent by Ronald Reagan. Furthermore, the diplomats of the embassies of various countries in the Philippines were all dispatched under the instructions of their governments, and more than a thousand foreign journalists also gathered in Manila. After the final voting results are counted. Xu Huange''s cousin, Maria Corey, leader of the United Democracy Organization, won by an absolute advantage. The support rate is as high as 82.3%! And Ferdinand¡¯s approval rate, UU reading is only 11.4%, and most of the votes come from his hometown of Ilocos Norte! The remaining few votes are with other players. The general election failed, how could Ferdinand be willing to think about him desperately, only to find that he has lost control of the armed forces! Even General Tatiman, the commander of the Marine Corps who is absolutely loyal to him, can''t get in touch. He wanted to escape from the Philippines, but found that the decree could no longer get out of the Presidential Palace. All airports and ports in the Philippines have been under martial law! From this moment on, Ferdinand¡¯s wings are hard to fly! For the next ten days, Ferdinand lived like a year. But the Philippine political arena is undercurrent, and countless interests are being exchanged. After a thorough agreement. On January 25th, Maria Corey took office as the President of the Philippines. When Ferdinand resigned like a puppet and left the presidential palace, he was immediately taken away for review! For the Philippines. The fall of the dictator Ferdinand means the end of an old era! And the appearance of the first female president in history also brought a new era to officially begin! v3 Chapter 1403: Space Exploration Technology Corporation "Chairman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." Huo Jianning opened the concealed door and walked in, and said apologetically to Xia Yu who was reading the document. "It''s okay." "Sit down and say." Xia Yu raised his head, said with a faint smile, and motioned Huo Jianning to sit down. "Jianning, take a look at this first." After that, Xia Yu handed the document he was looking at to Huo Jianning, who immediately took it with both hands. After just a few seconds, Huo Jianning''s expression became very serious. The above is about the whole process of changes in the situation in the Philippines, as well as many secrets that are not known and cannot be disclosed. For example, what are the positions of those important people, at what time period, what assistance was provided, and what rewards did they get in the end? For example, after the arrest of the former Philippine President Ferdinand, which assets were urgently seized, and which accounts were frozen. These pieces of information are all on this file. Huo Jianning is the first time to see this kind of thing. As Xia Yu''s absolute confidant, Xia Yu usually doesn''t shy away from him when calling, but he is not always by Xia Yu''s side. Therefore, he only heard about the Philippines, but he didn''t know much about it. After all, Xia Yu had always directly let Luo Wang take charge of this matter, and the affairs of Ma Qianjun and Luo Wang were not under the jurisdiction of the family office. The truth of the sentence "Only implements and names, not fakes" should be understood by any qualified person in power, and Xia Yu is of course no exception. Xia Yu changed his sitting position, drank tea comfortably, and waited quietly for Huo Jianning to finish reading. for a long time. Huo Jianning put down the document and looked at Xia Yu and said, "Chairman, I have finished reading it, please give your instructions." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "You already know the situation in the Philippines." "Maria Corey was able to come on stage. We worked so hard. Now that she has gone up, it''s time to give us back." "When Ferdinand was in office, in order to maintain his rule, he controlled the Philippines in an all-round way, and the Ferdinand family infiltrated various profiteering industries." "As long as you want to grow bigger in the Philippines, you must hand over at least 10% of the equity to the Ferdinand family." "Even in some industries, such as television, radio and other media fields, as well as aviation and other fields, Ferdinand is run by his own family." "Now that Ferdinand is down, these assets will eventually be fully confiscated by the Philippine government. At that time, Maria Corey will release all these assets again." "There are also state-owned assets controlled by the Philippine government, which will gradually be sold." "In the future, the restrictions of all industries in the Philippines will all disappear, and capital will be completely liberalized." "You will take the lead and be responsible for completing a complete strategic plan of action to fully enter the Philippines. In the business sector, Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai are our allies, and we can act with them at that time." "But we must remember that our goal is to become the greatest power in the Philippines. Although Xu Huange and Chen Yongzai are allies, their strength is limited. There is no need to compete with them. They can''t rob us..." "Shushasha..." As Xia Yu continued to tell, Huo Jianning''s pen quickly slid, and quickly recorded the main points Xia Yu said in his notebook. "Chairman, I have already remembered it." Huo Jianning stopped writing to look at Xia Yu and report. "Do you have any questions?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and asked with a faint smile. "Not yet." Huo Jianning shook his head. "Okay, then you go ahead." "Okay, Chairman, then I will go down first." ... Approaching the end of the lunar calendar, various things are destined to be very many. Just under the entire huge consortium, the annual reports of the various companies are enough to make Xia Yu look at him. In order to achieve sufficient control of the following companies, combined with his long-term combat vision to make the right suggestions, this matter can only be done by himself. There is no way, he can only live at two o''clock every day, and socializing is basically just push when he can. Fortunately, by the end of the year, everyone has a lot of things, so that they don¡¯t lose face. On January 28, something shocked the world. The American Spacecraft Challenger took off from Cape Calaveral in Florida. This was the 10th space mission code-named sts-51-l, but 73 seconds after lift-off, it suddenly landed unexpectedly. The seven astronauts in the space shuttle Challenger all died in the explosion. The strength of the United States in the field of aerospace is the only country in the world that can compete with the Red Soviet Union, yet such a big accident happened under the full view of the public. This is a huge blow to NATO countries headed by the United States. Similarly, it was also a serious blow to the world''s aerospace industry. This incident also had a certain impact on the Mellon Consortium. Because the "Challenger" project contractor is Rockwell International, a subsidiary of the Mellon Consortium, besides Morton Siocol. Fortunately, the Mellon family has completed the purification and integration of the entire Mellon consortium. So the negative effects of this crisis are still under their control. It''s just that the loss must be part of it. After all, the cost of the "Challenger" space shuttle is as high as 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and there are two satellites worth 90 million U.S. dollars, plus 130 million U.S. dollars in launch costs, for a total value of 1.42 billion U.S. dollars. , All burned. But in this crisis, Xia Yu also saw an opportunity. Not surprisingly, the aerospace market will definitely be cold in the next few years. Regardless of whether it is for the rocket manufacturer or the satellite manufacturer, without the state''s orders and financial support, research and development will become lagging. Declining revenue will lead to small profits or even losses for the company, so it can only lay off employees and fall into a vicious circle. It¡¯s just that in this world, no one knows better than Xia Yu how big the prospects of the aerospace market and satellite industry will be in the future. This time is the perfect time for bargain hunting! For this reason, Xia Yu made a special call to Peter Lynch in San Francisco and asked him to investigate the situation of companies in the aerospace, rocket and satellite fields in the United States and outside the United States. And then registered a company in California, named "Space Exploration Technology Company", but also need to screen suitable company headquarters to build a resident. At the same time, Xia Yu also asked the family office to mobilize resources for global market analysis and make an appropriate research. is busy. More than ten days passed in a flash. In a blink of an eye it was February 8. This day is the New Year¡¯s Eve of the Chinese lunar calendar. Xiangjiang, which has frequent international exchanges, is still shrouded in a strong flavor of the year. Although Xiangjiang was still ruled by the British, at this time it was dominated by Xia Yu behind the scenes. Xia Yu was willing to do things that could stimulate national sentiments and enhance national confidence. For example, on the street lights of Xiangjiang Avenue and alleys, festive red lanterns are hung to complement the red spring festival couplets and decorations spontaneously posted by the residents. Compared with last year, this year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve dinner is extraordinarily warm. Because there are five more members in the family, if you add the unborn children in their stomachs, then there are actually as many as ten! After the warm New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, the whole family came to the garden, and Xia Yu personally lit the fuse of the first fireworks for the family. "Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "Slap...slap...slap..." Bunches of dazzling light fly into the sky, UU reading www. Suddenly, beams of light exploded, turning into thousands of small sparks splashing out, dragging a long, shining tail slowly falling down, like flying butterflies. "Wow, it''s so beautiful!" "I want to shoot it!" Xia Xiaomei cheered and watched the beautiful fireworks display, and kept pressing the shutter of the camera with her fingers. "My dear, I hope that next year our lives will be as colorful as fireworks." Li Qian lightly shook Xia Yu''s hand, her red lips were reddish, her eyes gleaming with happiness, and she made good wishes. Xia Yu looked at Li Qian, and at the women like Elena and Sandy beside him, watching them carefully holding their stomachs, he showed a knowing smile. "Yes, the little ones will be born next year, and our family will definitely be happier..." After that, Xia Yu gently hugged Li Qian and Xiandi, looking out into the distance with fascination. Standing at the position of the villa, it is enough to overlook the bustling city. At this time, the city full of buildings has been shrouded in colorful fireworks, and the whole city is celebrating at this time. In 1985, it is about to end. The new year is about to embark on a new journey... v3 Chapter 1404: The development of Hong Kong that satisfies Xia Yu Chapter 1404 Xiangjiang Development That Satisfies Xia Yu According to Huaxia¡¯s custom, I have to take my wife back home after the new year. is only Xia Yu''s special situation, so Xia Yu just went to Omen. As for the United Kingdom, the United States and the island countries, Xia Yu did not go. Despite this, he was busy after the year, either being visited or visiting other people. This situation continued until after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year before it got better. This afternoon, Xia Yu was sitting on a chair in the garden, drinking afternoon tea leisurely, and looking at the materials in his hands attentively. At this time, he heard the light footsteps coming from behind him. "Elena, why did you wake up?" "Don''t you sleep a little longer?" Xia Yu hurriedly put the tea cup and papers on the table, got up and carefully helped Elena, who had a big belly, and said softly. With Xia Yu''s support, the servant waiting next to him took a step back and waited quietly. "My dear, the little one is a bit naughty." Elena showed a gentle smile, looked down, her hand stroked her belly, her whole body exuding the brilliance of maternal love. She has been pregnant for five months, and there will indeed be fetal movements. "The little guy will toss his mother at this time." "Elena, sit down quickly and don''t stand for long." Xia Yu smiled and helped his wife to sit on a chair next to him, then squatted down, putting his ears on Elena''s belly. after awhile. "Hey, the little guy is indeed moving." Xia Yu looked at Elena with a smile and said. Next, Xia Yu stroked Elena''s belly again, and said softly: "Little guy, don''t be so naughty. Mom is very hard. Did you hear that?" Looking at her husband''s appearance, the happiness in Elena''s eyes seemed to overflow at any time. "The little guy is actually okay. He likes listening to music. When I talk about the piano, he will be very quiet." "It seems that the little guy has inherited the musical talents of the two of us, and he will definitely be a big musician in the future." "¡­¡­" Children are a common topic among parents. Before they knew it, the couple chatted for more than 20 minutes in the garden. After Elena was given a sip of water by Xia Yu, she looked at the documents on the desktop next to her, and exclaimed with concern: "My dear, you should be busy with work, but you should also take a break." "Well, I know, you don''t know my body, you are practicing martial arts every day, it''s awesome!" "It''s enough to sleep for half an hour at noon today." "It happened that the Hong Kong government sent someone over last year''s development report, so I will take the time to look at it." Xia Yu said with a chuckle. Elena blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked curiously: "How was the development of Xiangjiang last year?" "Although the social welfare of Xiangjiang is not as high as that of Europe, I feel that Xiangjiang is full of vitality and all walks of life are flourishing." Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and said with a little pride: "With our big companies here, Xiangjiang has hit many super engines, and of course it is developing very well." "Come on, let''s take a look." "I also just started watching." After that, Xia Yu picked up the file again, approached Elena, and the two looked at it together. In 1985, Xiangjiang¡¯s social and people¡¯s well-being construction was not as good as that of many Western countries, but it has made great progress compared to last year. All the data in this report can be reflected. Education, medical care, housing, transportation construction, etc., all have clear statistics and the increase compared to last year. What Xia Yu pays more attention to is the development of Xiangjiang''s economy. According to statistics, the gross national product of Hong Kong last year reached 542.282 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$88.899 billion. The GDP of the previous year in 1984 was 416.837 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was equivalent to 68.334 billion U.S. dollars. So last year, it increased by 30.09% year-on-year! The growth rate is 18.87% lower than last year''s 48.96%. However, considering the actual situation, it is normal. After all, many of Xia Yu''s companies in Xiangjiang developed explosively in 1984 and made a great contribution to Xiangjiang''s gross national product. One more thing, the reason why there was such a high growth rate before is largely because of the weak foundation, which makes the growth rate exaggerated. Now that the basic value is getting higher and higher, it is very unrealistic to expect to maintain a growth rate of 48.96%. Compared with other Asian countries, Xiangjiang¡¯s growth rate of more than 30% last year is definitely enough to be ranked second in Asia! is not the first. That is because the first one was robbed by the Maldives. Who makes the Maldives too thin? After Xia Yu''s large sum of resources was poured in, the economy developed completely in a flying way, and it was incomparable. To return to the subject, Hong Kong¡¯s gross national product has exceeded the 500 billion Hong Kong dollar mark, which is absolutely gratifying. What makes Xia Yu even more satisfied is actually the growth of the seven industries of "one core, six pillars". The scale of the seven industries in the previous year accounted for 92.54% of the Xiangjiang economy. Last year, this ratio increased to 94.25%, which is a lot higher. The scale ranking of the seven major industries is still the same as the year before, but the gap between the various industries has changed. The first echelon is still trade and logistics, heavy machinery manufacturing, electronics and high-tech industries, and financial services. The biggest contribution is still the trade and logistics industry, but the contribution ratio has dropped by 1.4% compared with the previous year, and it is now 26.34%. The industry added value is 142.837 billion Hong Kong dollars. The second place is the heavy machinery manufacturing industry, with a contribution of 21.84%, which is also down from the previous year by 0.46%, but the industry added value is 118.434 billion Hong Kong dollars. The reason for this is that Xia Yu considered that the outbreak period of Tiangong Automobile Group and Tiangong Machinery Group had passed and gradually encountered bottlenecks. The electronics and high-tech industries ranked third, with a contribution of 21.68%, an increase of more than two points compared with the previous year, with an industry value added of 117.567 billion Hong Kong dollars. It can be seen that the development potential of the electronics and high-tech industries can still be tapped vigorously, and this year will definitely surpass the heavy machinery manufacturing industry. The fourth place is the financial services industry, with a contribution of 18.27% and an increase of 0.57%. The industry added value is 99.075 billion Hong Kong dollars. These four pillar industries add up to a contribution of 88.13%, which is a bit higher than the previous year. The second tier is the tourism and entertainment industry, the health industry, and the petrochemical industry. The fifth place is the tourism and entertainment industry, with a contribution of 2.72%, an increase of 0.32%, and the industry¡¯s added value of 14.75 billion Hong Kong dollars. The sixth place is the big health industry, with a contribution of 2.21%, an increase of 0.5%, and the industry¡¯s added value of 11.984 billion Hong Kong dollars. Ranked seventh is the petrochemical industry, with a contribution of 1.19%, an increase of 0.29%, and the industry¡¯s added value of 6.453 billion Hong Kong dollars. These three industries do not seem to be very eye-catching, but if you look at the year-on-year growth rate, it is scary. The year-on-year growth rates of the three industries were 52.18%, 73.68%, and 72.41% respectively from the previous year! This year-on-year growth rate is higher than the four major industries in the first echelon! Considering the petrochemical industry again, the first phase of the Petrochemical Base on Lamma Island was completed in November last year. The second and third phases of this year will be completed by the middle and the end of the year, respectively. Other foreign oil companies and local capital are also investing, and they will continue to produce this year. So Xia Yu can be sure that this year will be the year of the explosion of the petrochemical industry! But as far as Xiangjiang is concerned, there are also drawbacks, that is, the industry previously completely relied on imported oil and will gradually be replaced by local oil production. In this way, it will have a certain impact on the trade and logistics industry of Hong Kong. After all, from imported fuel oil to imported crude oil, some petroleum derivatives can also reduce imports. Of course, in the long run, this impact will eventually be eliminated again. This day will not be too far ~ www.novelhall.com~ When Xiangjiang''s petrochemical industry breaks out and Xiangjiang changes from an oil import area to an export area, the impact will naturally be eliminated. ¡­¡­ After reading the document, Elena thoughtfully said to Xia Yu: "My dear, I did not expect that Xiangjiang''s GDP has reached 88.899 billion U.S. dollars. I think this scale may make Xiangjiang the top two in the world. ten!" Xia Yu smiled: "There is a possibility. According to the ranking of Economic Weekly, Xiangjiang''s GDP ranked 23rd in the world the year before, a little better than Austria." "I remember that the 20th place last year was Indonesia, and it was only over 80 billion U.S. dollars." "Although there are still many countries in the world that have not been counted, Indonesia''s statistics have been calculated, only 85.289 billion U.S. dollars, almost standing still, Xiangjiang has more than it!" "I think, at the latest next month, "Economic Weekly" should publish the ranking list, and I will know when that happens." "Well, I''ll look at it later." Elena lightly tapped her head and said with a smile. "Elena, the sun is coming, let''s go in." "Ok." "You go slower and be careful." Xia Yu wrapped her right hand around Elena''s waist, supported her with her left hand, and walked carefully into the house. ~: Headache, ask for a leave tonight @@?@@ My body is uncomfortable today, my scalp has been numb for a day, and my head is swollen and painful. It''s almost like a phone overheating and downtime. I can''t hold it anymore. My life is important. I have to sleep more than 9 o''clock tonight Please bear with me @@@@ It is in hand, please wait for a while, after the content is updated, you need to refresh the page to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1405: Giant Tiangong Group Xiangjiang''s economic development report last year has all come out. The annual development report of the company owned by Xia Yu can naturally be produced. It''s just helpless that he owns so many companies that he can''t come over at all. So he had to take time out regularly and watched them one by one. Then I picked out the annual report of one of the companies that deserved attention, and then took a time to visit and check on the spot. If there is a problem, point it out in time and ask for a solution. On this day, Xia Yu was looking at the report in the office. Huo Jianning finally walked in with the documents. "Chairman, the report on the strategic development of fully entering the Philippines has been made, please review it." "Okay, let it go, I''ll watch it later, you go ahead." Xia Yu raised his head and gestured, and continued to drink tea and watch the Tiangong Group''s financial report. Tiangong Group is worthy of being his most profitable core asset besides financial companies. In a nutshell. There are currently seven tier-one companies operating independently under the Tiangong Group, and the others are all financially invested. The seven companies are Tiangong Technology Laboratory, Tiangong Electronics Group, Tiangong Automobile Group, Tiangong Electric Group, Tiangong Machinery Group, Xiangjiang Nanhua Sports Association and Tiangong Materials Co., Ltd. among them. Tiangong Technology Laboratories currently has 1,647 employees and 34 laboratories have been opened. In 1985, a total of 914 registered patents were applied for. The total number of Tiangong Technology Laboratory patents was 2,248. Last year, the R&D investment was 3.758 billion. In Hong Kong dollars, the operating income from the realization of patents was 672 million Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit was 3.086 billion Hong Kong dollars. Tiangong Electronics Group is the biggest profit point of Tiangong Group. The group''s turnover last year was 118.224 billion Hong Kong dollars, the net profit was 30.242 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit was 4.958 billion US dollars! The net profit margin is as high as 25.58%! The net profit is the most contributed by Tiangong Electronics Group. However, the actual turnover is the biggest contribution from Tiangong Automobile Group. The total production and sales of Tiangong Automobile Group last year was 1.724 million vehicles, and the gap between two million vehicles is not far away! plus the revenues of subsidiaries including motorcycle production and sales, auto retail, auto parts companies, etc. The turnover of Tiangong Automobile Group last year was as high as 134.738 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 22.88 billion U.S. dollars! The net profit was 19.672 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 3.225 billion US dollars! Tiangong Automobile Group has a higher turnover than Tiangong Automobile Group, but its net profit is lower. But this is also normal. After all, the competitors in the automotive field are too strong. On the contrary, it is in the electronic field. Whether it is video games or walkmans, Tiangong Electronics Group ranks first in the world, and the mobile phone business is also the strongest in Asia. With the advantage in hand, the net profit is naturally high. Next is Tiangong Electric Group. Last year''s turnover was 15.424 billion Hong Kong dollars and net profit was 3.018 billion Hong Kong dollars. Next is the Tiangong Machinery Group, with a turnover of 10.833 billion Hong Kong dollars last year and a net profit of 1.517 billion Hong Kong dollars. Tiangong Materials Co., Ltd. is a newly established company in May 1985. It has not yet produced any output. Instead, it invested and built a factory, which caused a loss of 92 million Hong Kong dollars last year. And the Xiangjiang Anhua Sports Club, with the resources of the Jiuding Consortium, operates well, has no shortage of advertising resources, and is able to achieve results. Last year''s turnover was 274 million Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit was 75 million Hong Kong dollars. Finally, there are other income, which are all investment dividends, and the total net income is 524 million Hong Kong dollars. has to be calculated. Last year, Tiangong Group''s total turnover was 280.789 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$46.03 billion. Net profit was 51.869 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$8.503 billion! is really scary! In the entire Asia excluding island countries, Tiangong Group is definitely the number one manufacturing group. Of course, when Xia Yu was happy, he didn''t underestimate himself. The achievements of Tiangong Group are remarkable, but there are still some gaps from the world''s top large companies. Nothing else. As far as he knows, the General Motors Group in the United States last year alone produced and sold more than 9 million vehicles, and its group turnover exceeded 85 billion U.S. dollars! So with this calculation, the gap between Tiangong Group and General Motors Group of the United States is still relatively large. Not to mention some other manufacturing giants! But then again, many of the first-tier subsidiaries of Tiangong Group have not yet fully explored their potential, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the areas of the global market where each company is located. Next, as long as each company develops well, the turnover and net profit of the entire Tiangong Group will naturally be high! Suddenly, Xia Yu wanted to go to the Tiangong Group for an inspection, and by the way, point out a few more ways for the Tiangong Group. After all, there are indeed a few first-tier subsidiaries. But before going to inspect, he had to finish reviewing the plan submitted by Huo Jianning. The layout of the Philippines is more important than the inspection of Tiangong Group. Thinking about it, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and put the Tiangong Group''s annual financial report together. Then he picked up the "Strategic Development Report on Full Entry" and began to scan it carefully. The think tank of the Jiuding Consortium is not for dry food, it is full of top elites. The quality of this strategic development report is beyond doubt under the collective efforts. Xia Yu kept reviewing, and it took nearly an hour to read the entire report. To put it succinctly, there are two main directions of the report. One direction is to use the existing large companies of the consortium to fully enter the Philippines to open branches, and to merge some companies to achieve rapid entry. For example, Jiuding Cultural Media Group has branches in the Philippines. Group''s Jiuding Newspaper Company, Jiuding News Agency, Jiuding Book Publishing Company, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., Universal Music Group, Universal Theater Company, etc., have all opened branches in the Philippines. The television stations, radio stations and mainstream newspapers in the media field of the Philippines were originally controlled by the Ferdinand family. Now that the Ferdinand family is down, all these assets have been confiscated. As long as the Philippine government sells them, the branches of Jiuding Culture Media Group can receive the orders one by one. In this area where it is difficult for a new company to be effective, takeover acquisition is the most appropriate choice. It can become the leader of the media in the Philippines as quickly as possible, and control the power of public opinion in the Philippines. Even using the media, publishing and other fields to push back the education reform in the Philippines, and make decisions that are beneficial to the local Chinese. The other direction is to acquire or build local companies without revealing the background. The purpose of doing this is to plan ahead and artificially establish competitors for their company. There are many advantages to doing this. The most obvious thing is that by using healthy competition, you can keep your company improving, which is conducive to breaking out of the Philippines and developing international business. In addition to this, competing left-handed and right-handed can further strengthen the real monopoly in the field and kill other competitors. After all, the boss fights with the second child, but it is normal for the third and fourth to die. Of course, the most important thing is for long-term considerations. Xia Yu will certainly suppress the national awakening of the Philippines, which is conducive to capital rule. But after entering the 21st century in the future, the popularization of the Internet is unstoppable, and the wisdom of the people in the Philippines will one day be awakened. At that time, once someone was behind the scenes and used national sentiments to instigate foreign capital, it was very easy to be boycotted. UU-reading would be affected even if it did not go bankrupt, and it would be unfavorable after all. Therefore, we will start hidden operations now. In the future, the citizens of the Philippines will not know that the national brands they have used since childhood will be controlled by foreigners. Just as many people in later generations did not know, Supor is owned by France''s Cyber ??Group, Harbin Beer is owned by Anheuser-Busch, Dabao is owned by Johnson & Johnson, Shuanghui is owned by Goldman Sachs, and Zhonghua Toothpaste is owned by Unilever in the Netherlands. It''s from L''Oreal France... White and black, Nanfu battery, Huiyuan Juice, Arowana, Golden Monkey, Xu Fuji, Little Sheep, Robust, etc. are not to mention. is used, everyone is accustomed to it, where will you notice that you are making contributions to foreign countries every day? After reading the entire report, Xia Yu made some instructions in it, all of which were adjusted based on his forward-looking vision, or added some content. Finally, after confirming that it was correct, Xia Yu called Huo Jianning, and after clear instructions to him, let him execute according to the above content. And when he returned home, he brought the Tiangong Group''s financial report. He intends to continue to study in depth, and think about which areas Tiangong Group has to reinforce, and then combined with the on-site inspections, so as to make wise instructions. Ps: I''m sorry, the update is late, I have a lot of drinks for socializing tonight, I wrote this chapter dazedly v3 Chapter 1406: Launch vehicle and satellite While Xia Yu was still studying Tiangong Group further. The detailed investigation on the global aerospace market and satellite market has finally come out. Two reports, one from the North Star Consortium in the United States and the other from the Jiuding Consortium in Hong Kong. Both reports have their own merits. The one from the United States is very detailed in the North American region where the United States and Canada are located. This is incomparable to the report of the Jiuding Consortium. However, the report of the Jiuding Consortium''s investigation has a clearer picture of the situation in the European field. From the combination of the two reports, the global market situation is very clear. What Xia Yu needs to build is a global aerospace market giant! However, his giant also has a focus in the early stages of development. This has to be said about the pattern of the aerospace market. The global aerospace market is divided into four major industries. are four markets: launch vehicles, space shuttles, space stations, and satellites. The two industries, space shuttle and space station, are currently used for military purposes, and there is almost no civilian market. And in these two industries, Xia Yu has not set foot in them at all, and there is no company under his control in this field. But British Aerospace, in which the Bright Fund holds 12.5%, and General Electric, in which Polaris Capital holds 14.6%, are involved. It''s a pity that these two companies, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to control them. They can only hold a small amount of shares. Whether it is in the United Kingdom or the United States, these two industries are easy to enter for the time being, but it is difficult to grow. After all, these two markets need the absolute support of the military, difficult! So Xia Yu didn''t think too much about these two industries before, but instead put his ideas on the two markets of launch vehicles and satellites. These two industries have not only the military market but also the civilian market. In the carrier rocket industry, military ones are generally used in the field of spacecraft launching and missiles. In the civilian market, it is complementary to the satellite market. It is a pity that Xia Yu¡¯s consortium has not set foot in the military or useless market. The space technology exploration company established by Peter Lynch in California is aimed at the launch vehicle industry and becoming the world''s top commercial launch service provider. At present, because of the policy orientation of the United States, the world''s number one commercial launch service provider is not in the United States, but in Europe, it is called Ariane Aerospace. Ariane Space Company was proposed by France in July 1973 and established in conjunction with 11 countries in Western Europe. It is a rocket project implemented and developed by the European Space Agency. This is the world''s first commercial launch service provider! It¡¯s a pity that behind this company are 13 European countries, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland and other European powers. There are 36 aerospace and electronics companies from these 13 countries. Strong support from the company and 13 banks. The strong background determines that Ariane Aerospace is going sideways in Europe. No company can grab European orders from it! If Xia Yu wants to open up the market, he can only grow by grabbing orders from North America and Asia outside of Europe. Fortunately, Ariane Aerospace currently has only one commercial launch vehicle-the Ariane 1 launch vehicle. The Ariane 2 launch vehicle is still under development, and it is estimated that it will be launched in the middle of this year! It can be said that the space exploration technology company that Xia Yu just established will face great pressure! Of course, in the United States, the launch vehicle market is very suitable for development. Because from the 1970s to the present, in order to compete for space hegemony with the Red Soviet Union, the United States has concentrated all efforts to support the space shuttle project, requiring all payloads to be used for space shuttle launches and disabling other vehicles. So that the original launch vehicle giants, such as Martin Mariette, Douglas Airlines, General Dynamics and other giants, their launch vehicle production lines have gradually ceased production. It can be said that the reason why Europe was able to develop Ariane Aerospace is because the boss of the United States is under the pressure of Hongsu, and the younger brother of Europe is playing business on a mission! As for the satellite industry, the military field has always existed, while the civilian market is also booming. In this industry, there are more competitors. There are many in Europe, such as British Aerospace Corporation, French National Aerospace Corporation and so on. But if we talk about strength, the United States is stronger! In the United States, there is no need to say more about military satellite manufacturers. They are all established companies, such as Rockwell International, Boeing, Hughes Aircraft, and so on. In the field of commercial satellites, the threshold is lower than in the field of military satellites. Of course the market is bigger too! Therefore, there are many companies in this field, but most of them are small companies that have just emerged and are not very competitive. There are currently three giants! The strengths from strong to weak are Hughes Aircraft Company, Astro Aerospace Company and Ford Aerospace and Communications Company. Hughes Aircraft Company was acquired before, and it is currently a military industry leader under the Polaris Consortium. Astro Aerospace is a subsidiary of General Electric Company, which is the core company of the Morgan Consortium. As for Ford Aerospace and Communications, it was formed by the assets of Philco, which was taken over by Ford Motor Company in 1961. At present, it not only manufactures satellites, but also manufactures many missile and radar models, among which the aim9 Rattlesnake is the masterpiece. According to the survey report, in addition to these three, there are many companies, and one of them is growing at a very impressive rate. That is Laura Electronics! This company went public in 1959. At that time, its market value was just over 10 million U.S. dollars. Later, it acquired a large-scale acquisition of small companies to accumulate strength and became a comprehensive communications company. Manufacturers of telemetry, radar and satellite navigation equipment, the US military¡¯s Doppler navigation radar project, and the Air Force f-111 and rf-4c reconnaissance aircraft electronic equipment projects are all taken over by it. It was only because of the rapid expansion that it filed for bankruptcy in the early 1970s, and was later bought by Bernard Schwartz, who is now the chairman of the company. The development momentum has been very good in the ten years since he took over. ... Peter Lynch¡¯s idea is mergers and acquisitions. The satellite industry, let Hughes Aircraft Company come forward, go all out to acquire Laura Electronics, strive to acquire Ford Aerospace and Communications, and complete the absolute dominance in the field of satellite manufacturing. As for the launch vehicle industry, it will take over the assets of the original veteran launch vehicle giants such as Martin Mariette, Douglas Airlines, and General Dynamics, and take part of the production line, as well as technical materials and elite researchers, and then dig others. The company''s scientific research personnel. On this basis, let the space exploration technology company set up a project team to develop its own commercial launch vehicle. Use the Hughes Aircraft Company''s order to raise the space exploration technology company, making the latter the largest commercial launch service provider in the United States. "This development strategy is indeed extremely feasible, and there is a lot of room for imagination." After thinking about it, Xia Yu said to himself with a chuckle. "It''s hard to say about other companies, but Martin Marietta is controlled by the Mellon consortium. It should not be difficult to buy the launch vehicle project." "It''s just a bad operation of Douglas Airlines and General Dynamics." Thinking of this, Xia Yu frowned slightly, and took a sip of tea to soothe it. Douglas Airlines is the core company under the Rockefeller Consortium. And General Dynamics is the core company under the Morgan Consortium. These two consortiums are not bad money owners. It is difficult to say whether they will develop space exploration technology companies for the Polaris consortium for some money. The Morgan Consortium is better. But you don¡¯t have to guess that the Rockefeller Consortium is absolutely hostile to the Polaris Consortium. UU reading www.uukanshu.c¨®m "Forget it, Martin Marietta was originally one of the three giants in the launch vehicle industry. As long as it can take down its technology and assets, it is enough for the space exploration technology company to have a deep foundation and leapfrog development." "And Martin Marietta''s Hercules series launch vehicle is a heavy-duty launch vehicle with extremely high technological content and high potential for technological transformation.¡± "Anyway, it is not difficult for technical personnel in the US aerospace field to dig people. As long as they are willing to spend money on research and development, the results will definitely be able to come out." After the decision. Xia Yu called Peter Lynch directly, approved his plan, and told him for nearly half an hour. After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu made another call to Pennsylvania and directly called Leonard Mellon. After pulling up the daily routine, he talked about the launch vehicle. Knowing that Xia Yu is cooperating with the Polaris Consortium, he wanted to go deep into the carrier rocket industry. After thinking for a while, Leonard Mellon agreed directly on the phone. As for the specific details of the cooperation, it is to wait for the space exploration technology company to come forward and negotiate with Martin Marietta. At this point, Xia Yu finally relaxed. The first step of the aerospace market has a good foundation, and it depends on how it develops in the next few years. v3 Chapter 1407: Chip opportunity is here "Chairman, are you looking for me?" This morning, Huo Jianning came to Xia Yu''s office. "Well, let go of what you are doing first, and follow me to the Tiangong Group." Xia Yu said, got up and picked up the suit hanging behind him and put it on. Huo Jianning was a little surprised, but immediately responded, "Okay." "By the way, the "Fengyun Daily" newspaper is on the desktop. Take it with you and take a look on the road." "Ok." Just after Huo Jianning picked up the newspaper, Xia Yu finished putting it on, and walked towards the door. Huo Jianning can only stuff the newspaper into his bag, and follow along. After ¡¡¡¡ came downstairs, the convoy was ready, and Xia Yu took Huo Jianning into the explosion-proof car in the middle. Then, the convoy started and drove towards the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. At this time, Huo Jianning finally had time, opened the briefcase, and took out the "Fengyun Daily" he had brought. "Fengyun Daily" publishes global events outside of Hong Kong. After browsing for a while, his gaze was fixed on the second page. I saw the title there that read "U.S. Department of Commerce recognized that island country read-only memory dumped the United States." February 17, 1986, the U.S. Department of Commerce... After reading the entire report carefully, a series of thoughts surfaced in Huo Jianning''s mind. At this time, Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Jianning, what do you think?" Huo Jianning came back to his senses and replied after thinking for a moment: "Chairman, I don''t know much about the global chip market, but I think that now that the US Department of Commerce has made a determination, there will definitely be a series of sanctions." "The island country must still want to struggle, but there should be no way to succeed." "It''s just that if we want to enter this market, will the United States also impose sanctions on us in the future?" Xia Yu smiled: "This is hard to tell." "At least it should not be possible before the return of Xiangjiang, but maybe after the return." "However, the chip market is more complicated and very important. We have to do this." "But for long-term consideration, you have to study the doorways inside." "In any case, the sanctions of an island country tells us that technology and market are both important, but the overall strength of a country is more important." "You are right." Huo Jianning nodded deeply, and subconsciously glanced to the north, which was the direction of the mainland. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu didn''t speak any more, leaving Huo Jianning to think about the deep meaning of his words alone. ten minutes later. The ¡¡¡¡ motorcade finally drove into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. came to the Tiangong Group area. Tiangong Group occupies the largest place in the entire Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park. This can be seen at a glance in the bird''s-eye view of the industrial park. In the entire Tiangong Group, the largest area of ??land is undoubtedly Tiangong Auto Parts Group. In the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, Tiangong Automobile Group has not only a million-capacity automobile manufacturing base, and the core Tiangong Automobile R&D center, but also many subsidiaries. For example, Tiangong Motorcycle Manufacturing Company, Indonesia Automobile Manufacturing Company, Renfu Automobile Trading Co., Ltd., Lamborghini, Lotus Motors, McLaren, Aston Martin, Federal-Mogul, Tiangong Driving School, etc. It''s just that most of these companies are based in foreign countries. The general manager of Tiangong Group is still Chen Caijun. He has been in charge for the past few years, and he has lived up to Xia Yu''s expectations. Whether it is R&D or production and sales, the Group operates very well in all fields. After the on-site visit, Xia Yu had a clear grasp of the situation of the Tiangong Automobile Group. Chen Caijun upholds Xia Yu''s philosophy. In the past few years where the company developed, he did not launch many new models. Instead, he focused his efforts on optimizing the original models, upgrading and upgrading, and trying his best to establish a brand and build a reputation. Regardless of whether it is a Fengshen sports car, or a Shenyu model, a glory model, or a suv, the main cart models on the market are now the second generation. It¡¯s just that the first-generation models have not been completely discontinued, but the production capacity has been severely reduced. In terms of the price of cars, because of the development of the global economy in recent years, the currency has naturally depreciated, and the price of cars has also risen. For example, the second-generation luxury sedan, the price of the naked car has reached US$24,800, which is US$1,900 higher than the previous one. Of course, Chen Caijun is stable in business, but he is not lacking in enterprising spirit, and he has a long-term vision. Therefore, it also launched a new model, the Morningstar cx model, which is a sedan that makes up for the low-end market of Tiangong Automobile Group. The naked car is priced at 10,800 US dollars, which is five to six thousand US dollars cheaper than the medium-sized Honor generation. This car was officially launched on the market in August 1985. To date, global sales have reached 121,000. This sales volume is not amazing, but at least it can be regarded as a successful stand in the market. In the future, it can be promoted with proper marketing. Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Aston Martin and other luxury car brands that are not in Hong Kong, the four brands combined have global sales of less than 10,000 units last year. However, it can also be seen from the financial report that these luxury car brands are actually advancing steadily, but because of positioning problems, the growth rate is relatively slow. But in any case, these luxury car brands are backed by the Tiangong Automobile Group''s global sales network, and have long been out of the quagmire. There is no doubt that there is a difference between a backing and no backing. Finally, Xia Yu specially stayed in the Tiangong Automobile R&D Center for a long time. Before leaving the Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu stopped Chen Caijun and gave him a series of instructions. For example, the Tiangong Automobile production base in Xiangjiang has a fixed production capacity of one million vehicles. In the future, if it wants to expand, it will invest and build factories around the world. As for new models, we can be bolder in the next few years, enrich the company''s models, enhance comprehensive competitiveness, and balance development risks. After leaving Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu went to the nearest Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group. This group is a full-field home appliance manufacturing company with a wide range of home appliances. It is only different from the Tiangong Automobile Group in that the product research and development center of the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group is in the industrial park, and one third of the production capacity is here. The remaining two-thirds of the production capacity is in Pengcheng on the mainland. I am quite satisfied with the development status of the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group, but from the group¡¯s market, it can be seen that the main market is in Asia and its competitiveness outside Asia is not strong. Therefore, Xia Yu¡¯s instruction to Colin Heist is to increase the pace of international expansion on the premise of further developing the Asian market, especially the mainland market. Tiangong Electric Appliance Manufacturing Group''s turnover last year was 15.424 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$2.528 billion. This business data cannot enter the top five in Asia, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. after that. Xia Yu went to Tiangong Machinery Group and Tiangong Electronics Group again. In the end, he went to the Tiangong Technology Laboratory. "Good chairman, good Dong Huo." "Dr. Lu, I have worked hard all these years." "It didn''t work hard and didn''t make much contribution to the group. I really feel ashamed." Lu Chao''s expression was a little gloomy, and he lowered his head reproachfully. Xia Yu was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head. "Dr. Lu, you did not disappoint me. The laboratory has more than two thousand patents. This is an outstanding achievement." "Maybe It''s just that the loss last year was too big." Lu Chao was in a better mood, but he still looked awkward. In his view, the group provided TG Tech Lab with a total of 3.758 billion Hong Kong dollars in research and development funds last year, and the number of 914 patents developed is still relatively small. I''m so sorry for the group''s support and the chairman''s trust. "Dr. Lu, let''s go, go in and talk." Xia Yu didn''t say much, patted his arm, and walked inside. "Dr. Lu, I have read the laboratory''s development report last year. The above content can be skipped directly today. I don''t know much about the technical aspects. Today you will mainly talk to me about two aspects." "The first aspect is the overall situation of patent conversion." "The second aspect is the difficulties currently encountered by the laboratory." "Ok." "Chairman, because there are thirty-four laboratories in the entire laboratory, I don''t know the whole situation, or should I summon the person in charge of each laboratory and report to you in the form of a meeting?" Xia Yu paused, glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, then go directly to the meeting room." Ps: Regarding the chip, I, a layman, have to check the information. It¡¯s not easy to check the situation decades ago. v3 Chapter 1408: Semiconductor master and apprentice Just as Xia Yu sat down in the conference room for less than ten minutes, the heads of the various laboratories successively arrived. The heads of the thirty-four laboratories are all men. Among them, there are Chinese, islanders, Americans, and British. Anyway, Tiangong Technology Laboratory is adhering to the concept that all talents from all over the world can be used, and it is digging people around the world. And Lu Chao, in addition to being responsible for the entire Tiangong Technology Laboratory, is also responsible for the department''s largest Tiangong Electronics Laboratory. Tiangong Electronics Laboratory is also the laboratory where it started. "Chairman, everyone is here." "Okay, let''s just have a meeting." Xia Yu cleared his throat, glanced around, and said loudly: "I am here today for two purposes, one is to solve the difficulties for everyone, and the other is to use the existing patent resources." The people in charge who had come to the meeting in a daze, all smiled. "Let¡¯s start with the photoelectric laboratory, in counterclockwise order." Xia Yu looked at the person in charge closest to him. In front of him was a sign of "Photoelectric Lab-Duke Byron". As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, the white old man Duke Byron nodded to Xia Yu, and then made a report. "There are currently 64 researchers in the Optoelectronics Laboratory. The main research areas include optical information, optoelectronic components and equipment, optoelectronic materials, optical input, optical storage, optical fiber communications, lasers and other optoelectronic applications." "Since its establishment, the Optoelectronics Laboratory has developed a total of 112 patents, and last year 47 patents have been developed." "In terms of R&D investment and output, last year''s R&D investment was 212 million Hong Kong dollars, 28 patents were converted, the patent conversion income was 48 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss was 164 million Hong Kong dollars." "The current dilemma of the optoelectronic laboratory is the lack of R&D talents, and the patent conversion is relatively weak..." It took more than two minutes for Duke Byron to finish the introduction, and Xia Yu also used this brief time to record some key information. After finishing the memorization, he looked at the next one. Li Yingwei, the head of the communications laboratory, is a scientist dug from the mainland. Although he has been in Xiangjiang for several years, he still can see his simple style in his clothes, which makes Xia Yu very admired. "Chairman, the communications laboratory has 71 scientific researchers, the main research and development areas include communication principles, signal processing, information exchange, wireless communications, digital microwave, satellite communications." "53 patented technologies were developed last year, and our laboratory already has 131 patented technologies." "Last year¡¯s R&D investment was 191 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was insufficient in terms of technology transformation. At present, only 24 patents have undergone preliminary transformation. Patent conversion income was 34 million Hong Kong dollars, and last year¡¯s loss was 157 million Hong Kong dollars." Xia Yu nodded secretly, then looked at the next person, it was Dr. Chao Lu. "Chairman, the electronic laboratory has 122 scientific research personnel. Last year, we applied for 82 technical patents for research and development. The total number of technical patents is 217, of which 147 technologies have been applied. Last year, a total of 182 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue was generated. " "However, last year''s R&D investment reached 247 million Hong Kong dollars, and still suffered a loss of 65 million Hong Kong dollars." Tiangong Electronics Laboratory, as the strongest laboratory, still suffers serious losses. Then there is the power laboratory with the second largest number of people. It has made great contributions to the Tiangong Automobile Group, the Tiangong Machinery Group and the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group. The person in charge is Dago Kitamura. According to his report, the power laboratory currently has 107 scientific researchers. Last year, 61 patents were developed. The laboratory also has a total of 139 patents, and 85 technologies have generated value. In terms of R&D investment, last year it reached 222 million Hong Kong dollars, technology income was 161 million Hong Kong dollars, and still a loss of 61 million Hong Kong dollars. After that, there are Walkman Laboratory, Acoustics Laboratory, Optical Laboratory, Electromagnetic Engineering Laboratory, New Material Laboratory, Computer Laboratory, Semiconductor Laboratory, Mechanical Transmission Laboratory, Solar Energy Laboratory and so on. There are only a few dozen people in most laboratories, and even a few dozen people. And most of these laboratories have invested a lot of research and development, and have also produced a lot of patented technologies in the research and development process, but the number of successful conversions is zero. In this regard, Xia Yu''s mentality is very peaceful. Although he does not understand all the fields of technology, he understands the most basic R&D procedures and R&D logic. Patents are also divided into multiple categories such as invention type, practical type and design type. The heads of the various laboratories in the office introduced the number of patents in their respective laboratories, including these multiple types. Some patents are easy to transform, and some are difficult to transform, and they don¡¯t even see any conversion value for the time being. of. does not mean that various laboratories deliberately develop such patents that cannot be converted and even have low value. After all, scientific research itself is constantly trying and exploring. In many cases, a technology is discovered accidentally, but the technology that we want to develop has not yet been developed. After more than an hour, the heads of the thirty-four laboratories finally completed their reports. Considering that it was noon, Xia Yu simply announced a temporary adjournment and went to the dining hall with everyone. After one o''clock noon, everyone returned to the meeting room again. "I have already understood the situation of each laboratory. Regarding the transformation of technology patents, you should not be under pressure. This is not your responsibility." "The reason why the electronic laboratory, power laboratory, walkman laboratory and other laboratories have more technology patent conversions, it is because the company has a corresponding company to commercialize it." "The even bigger reason is that these technologies were commissioned by these companies to develop them on a purposeful basis, and they can be put into commercialization immediately after they are developed." "More laboratories are still in the stage of infinite scientific research and lack pertinence because there is no corresponding company under the group." "Obviously, the causality is reversed." Speaking of this, Xia Yu noticed that many of the laboratory leaders nodded, apparently speaking to their hearts. "But I don''t want to blame everyone. Any technology is valuable. If you don''t use it, it will only be too late." "But scientific research requires huge financial support. Last year, 3.758 billion Hong Kong dollars was invested in research and development, and maybe one day it will reach tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars!" "At that time, it was very unrealistic to rely solely on the investment of the Tiangong Group." "So from now on, we must change, embark on the road of integrating production and research, develop technologies that are more likely to generate value, and then let the technology generate huge value, feed back the laboratory, and form a virtuous circle." "Papa Papa..." After Xia Yu finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room. Ten seconds later, Xia Yu pressed his palm down in the air, and the applause soon disappeared. "Everyone is engaged in scientific research. You only need to devote yourself to research. Later, I will set up a series of companies to connect various laboratories, so that the pressure of technology transformation can be eliminated." "Apart from this difficulty, what difficulties do you have? Talk freely today, and I will try my best to solve them." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, a white man stood up. This was Zakley Norton, the head of the Optical Laboratory. "Chairman, the biggest problem we encounter now is the personnel problem. There are too few researchers with sufficient level." As soon as he finished speaking, another person stood up and agreed. ... In the following time, all the questions that everyone responded to Xia Yu were recorded. In fact, there are not many problems, that is, lack of people, lack of top-notch laboratory equipment, and so on. In this regard, Xia Yu promised on the spot that he would apply to the Hong Kong government to formulate a generous talent immigration policy, and at the same time encourage everyone to bring in the elites they know, so that he will try his best to create a good scientific research environment. On the top experimental equipment, Xia Yu also promised to let everyone make a list, and he would try his best to arrange for someone to get it back. The meeting finally ended at 3:30 in the afternoon. Just after announcing the end, Xia Yu suddenly stopped someone. is the head of the semiconductor laboratory Hu Zhengming! This scientist who was originally a professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley, is a famous big cow in later generations. is not only a foreign academician of the China Academy of Sciences, he invented the fin-type field effect transistor, but also the biggest behind-the-scenes hero of TSMC. Later TSMC¡¯s "chip madman" Liang Mengsong was also his disciple. When at TSMC, Liang Mengsong produced more than 500 semiconductor patents, and was able to beat ibm in the research and development of the 130-nanometer copper process. then led TSMC to complete 28nm, 14nm, 12nm and n+1 technology into mass production, and even completed the development of 7nm technology, making TSMC the world''s top chip manufacturer. It is worth mentioning that Liang Mengsong was forced to leave TSMC for a period of time due to his failure in the workplace and went to South Korea to teach, but it was Samsung Semiconductor¡¯s students who led Samsung Semiconductor to surpass TSMC in the 16nm and 14nm chip processes. , And therefore won the big orders of Apple and Qualcomm, and continue to take off. Of course, now his disciple Liang Mengsong also came to Xiangjiang with him and joined the Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory. With these two future technology masters, master and apprentice, Xia Yu is full of expectations in terms of research and development. Just because of the current international situation, Xia Yu hopes to boost their growth and also allow his own semiconductor field layout to take shape quickly. v3 Chapter 1409: 3 semiconductor companies "Dr. Hu, take me to the semiconductor office. I want to talk to you about something." "Okay, Chairman, please follow me!" Hu Zhengming is a typical researcher, very elegant and easy-going. After hearing what Xia Yu said, he smiled and took Xia Yu and Huo Jianning into the elevator and headed to the floor of Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory. "Dr. Hu, this time the group will open a series of new companies, among which the semiconductor field will be the top priority." "So immediately, the work pressure on your side will be much greater, and you need to lead a good team." Hu Zhengming was slightly taken aback, his smile became brighter, and he said without hesitation: "Chairman, for those of us who are engaged in scientific research, the most feared thing is to have R&D projects, but the most feared is that there is nowhere to do it. "You provide us with such a good scientific research environment and can devote yourself to scientific research. We will definitely go all out to complete the tasks arranged by the company." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. At this time, the elevator just reached the designated floor, and he smiled and said, "Go to the laboratory first and then talk to you." "Okay, please over here!" After that, Hu Zhengming led Xia Yu to one direction. Soon, the three of them arrived in the preparation room of the laboratory. After changing their clothes, they walked in. "Chairman, this laboratory is the largest one, and most of the researchers are doing research here." "If there are some experiments with special requirements, I will go to other smaller laboratories." After entering, what caught the eye was that researchers wearing white scientific research uniforms gathered in twos and threes, surrounded by machines or instruments, and Hu Zhengming immediately introduced them. "Let''s take a look." Xia Yu nodded slightly and walked towards a crowd with her legs. "Chairman!" "Teacher!" "Chairman... Director..." Seeing the arrival of Xia Yu and others, the researcher who was studying immediately greeted Xia Yu and others, and one of them called teacher Hu Zhengming. Xia Yu looked at him, and it was Liang Mengsong as expected. This elementary school student''s hair style is exactly the same as that of later generations. "Hello." "What kind of research are you mainly doing now?" "Chairman, we are currently fully developing a 3 micron chip manufacturing process..." Liang Mengsong was the main force of this research, and he reported directly to Xia Yu. Xia Yu listened quietly, although he could not understand all these profound techniques, he knew some common sense. After Liang Mengsong finished speaking, Xia Yu suddenly asked a key question: "Which level has the mainstream chip technology in the world reached?" Liang Mengsong was a little embarrassed, but still answered truthfully: "The chairman, the world''s top chip company, has already entered the mass production of 1 micron chips." "In October last year, the 80386 processor released by Intel in the United States used a 1 micron manufacturing process." "Our current research and development progress is indeed lagging behind, but we will make a breakthrough. The current 1 micron manufacturing process project has been started for some time, and 7 technology patents have been developed in this field." "Well, I see." "It is a good thing to have pressure, and it is necessary to transform the pressure into the motivation to make progress." Xia Yu smiled and encouraged. "You guys go on." "Dr. Hu, let''s go over there and have a look." ... Xia Yu stayed in Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory for nearly an hour. In this hour, he also got a general idea of ??the situation in the Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory. There are currently 37 researchers in Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory, but the staff structure and research direction are somewhat complicated. In terms of personnel, more than half of them are researchers dug from the mainland. They are generally older. The leading technology man is a 51-year-old professor named Su Mingsheng, from the Third Radio Component Factory in Seoul, Hubei Province. There is a strong strength in the field of machine research and development. The reason why this old professor was dug into Xiangjiang is very realistic but very helpless. Because the mainland needs foreign exchange in all aspects, and since the 1960s, the third radio component factory in Seoul, which has been engaged in independent research and development of lithography machines for more than 20 years, was also dismantled because of the lack of national funding support, which led to more than 20 years of technology. R&D stagnated, so Su Mingsheng had nothing to do with what he had learned, and he was dug into Xiangjiang by the Tiangong Technology Laboratory. From the communication with Su Mingsheng, Xia Yu learned about the independent research and development of the mainland lithography machine. In 1965, the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the 65-type contact lithography machine. By 1980, Shuimu University had successfully developed it. In the fourth generation, the lithography accuracy reaches 3 microns, which is close to the international mainstream level. Only now, a few years after dismounting, there has been a generation gap between the mainland and the world. Think about it carefully. Now Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory is still developing a 3-micron chip process technology. In 1980, China mainland was able to independently develop a lithography machine with an accuracy of 3 microns. And now, it''s 1986! For a moment, Xia Yu regrets, but also feels grateful. Fortunately, he plans to make arrangements. Although the huge number of scientific research talents accumulated in the mainland has been delayed in recent years, there is definitely some strength, and now he still has time to save them. Get back to the subject. At present, Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory is not comprehensive enough due to manpower problems. Half of the staff, led by Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong, are working on the chip manufacturing process. Some people headed by Su Mingsheng are developing photolithography machines. Knowing the real situation, Xia Yu had to slightly adjust the plan he had made before coming. After ¡¡¡¡, Xia Yu called Hu Zhengming, Liang Mengsong, and Su Mingsheng to the conference room, ready to talk to them and consult their opinions. "I also watched the situation in the laboratory. To be honest, it gave me the impression that there were more defects." "But the most critical reason is that the goal is not clear enough." "I have some thoughts, please listen to them first, and then express your own opinions." Xia Yu paused, took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and then spoke slowly. "In the semiconductor industry, lithography machines and fabs are very important. Without any of these, it is impossible to produce excellent chips." "But there is another link that is also very important, and that is the design of the chip." "It''s just the current global scale. Basically, chip design and wafer production are in the same company. This has advantages, but there are also disadvantages." "Just like our laboratory now, all aspects are being researched, but it involves energy and cannot produce results as soon as possible." "So next, I will set up three companies to correspond to the R&D and production of lithography machines, the R&D and construction of fabs, and the design of chip manufacturing processes." "The three companies are each responsible for one link of the entire industrial chain and will not get involved in each other." "The design of the chip manufacturing process is the responsibility of the newly established Tiangong Semiconductor. The Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory also corresponds to this company. Dr. Hu and Dr. Liang, you two are still staying in the Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory." "The newly established Tiangong Microelectronics is responsible for the R&D and production of the lithography machine. Another Tiangong Microelectronics Laboratory has been established. Professor Su, you and your team will all be transferred to the Tiangong Microelectronics Laboratory." "As for the R&D and construction of the final fab, Tiangong Group will not be involved. This piece will be the responsibility of the mainland Kyushu Industrial Group, and a separate Kyushu Semiconductor company will be established there." "At that time, Tiangong Semiconductor and Tiangong Microelectronics will provide technical guidance to Kyushu Semiconductor." "What do you think?" Hu Zhengming and the three looked at each other. Then Hu Zhengming expressed his opinion: "Chairman, I have no opinion on your deployment. With this division, the whole process is very clear." "As long as there are enough manpower, I have the confidence to catch up with the most advanced chip manufacturing process." Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, in terms of manpower, I''ll let go. You can dig whoever you want to dig. The group will give you full support. You can do research and development with peace of mind." "Thank you, Chairman!" Hu Zhengming thanked him with a smile on his face. Xia Yu looked at Professor Su Mingsheng again. "Professor Su, what do you think?" "You don''t have to worry about the funding at all. I will not give you any restrictions. I will give you as much as you want. There is no ceiling!" The thin-looking man supported his glasses and said gratefully: "Chairman, thank you for your support. Since I came here, I have never been restricted by R&D funding." "I have worked at the third radio factory in Seoul for half my life. Since the construction of the third radio factory in Seoul, I have been there." "Before there was little communication with the international community, and there was no complete information channel. Although we have developed a self-developed lithography machine, we are not particularly clear about the gap between it and the international community." "But after coming to Xiangjiang, I understand the international situation, and I feel a lot." "Foreign technology is very advanced. The United States and the island countries are better than ours, but this does not mean that our researchers are of poor quality." "It''s just being tied down for three reasons: low funding, lack of the most advanced research equipment, and blind command." "After coming here, these three constraints are gone. This is the research environment that we engaged in scientific research dream of." "But let me be responsible for making an advanced self-developed lithography machine, and I also face the problem of manpower." "The R&D field of lithography machine is smaller than the field of chip process technology, and it is more difficult to dig people." "My personal suggestion is to recruit those people from the mainland. They will definitely not be worse than the people in Britain, the United States, and the island countries." "Many people who are better than me either go to teach or go to other fields to continue research. This is a waste of talent." "Either dig them over, or open a branch in the mainland to bring them together and continue to shine." "My personal preference is to open another branch in the mainland, because I have always had correspondence with my old friends, and I have persuaded them, but only a small number of people have come, and most of them have a prejudice against Xiangjiang." After speaking, Su Mingsheng looked at Xia Yu expectantly. Xia Yu thought for a while, looked at Su Mingsheng and said, "Professor Su, the R&D and production of lithography machines must be based on Xiangjiang." Just when Su Mingsheng was a little disappointed, Xia Yu continued to explain: "You should know that there is a difference between Xiangjiang and the mainland. Don''t forget the Batumi Agreement." "Although Western developed countries have deregulated the mainland, there are still restrictions. This is a bomb." "On the contrary, Xiangjiang does not have this restriction. UU Reading " "Tiangong Microelectronics can only move lightly in Xiangjiang." Hearing this, Su Mingsheng was silent, his fists clenched unconsciously. "Many people have never been to Xiangjiang. I can understand that they have prejudice against Xiangjiang." "I will solve this problem, I will communicate with the mainland, and let the mainland send someone over by force." "Of course, I will neutralize your suggestions." "In this way, Tiangong Microelectronics will open another branch in Qianzhou City, whose function is to gather a group of scientists and undertake part of the research as a supplement to this side." "I will try my best to get the most advanced equipment from the Qianzhou branch." "What do you think?" "Thank you, Chairman, I have no other comments." Su Mingsheng said gratefully. "One more thing, Professor Su, Kyushu Semiconductor needs enough talent support. You have a better understanding of the situation in the mainland semiconductor field. You have to trouble you to recommend some mainland talents. It is best to make a list." "This is simple, I will make a list as soon as possible." Su Mingsheng replied hurriedly. "That''s it, let''s arrange it for the time being." ... v3 Chapter 1410: A giant with more than $70 billion in assets "Jianning, don''t leave, come with me to the office." After returning to Jiuding Building, Xia Yu stopped Huo Jianning, who wanted to arrange work immediately. "Come on, according to this list, add these companies to Tiangong Group." After returning to the office, Xia Yu took out a list, wrote a few more times on it, and handed it to Jianning Huo. Huo Jianning took it with both hands and looked down. Tiangong Microelectronics, Tiangong Semiconductor, Tiangong Optics, Tiangong Electric, Tiangong New Energy, Tiangong Computer, Tiangong Shipbuilding... After each company''s name, there are a few lines that set the company''s development direction. Tiangong Microelectronics and Tiangong Semiconductor needless to say. For example, Tiangong Optical Co., Ltd., whose development direction is to produce automotive glass, camera optical glass, ceramic accessories and so on. There is also Tiangong Electric Co., Ltd., which is involved in the manufacture of a series of electrical equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, and power cables. Tiangong New Energy Co., Ltd. prioritizes the development of the solar energy field, and then enters other new energy fields. Tiangong Computer Manufacturing Co., Ltd. launched the Tiangong brand of personal computers, and at the same time entered the field of supercomputers. Tiangong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. surprised Huo Jianning. Because of the 34 laboratories of the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory, there is currently no research involved in the field of shipbuilding. Even the power laboratory and the mechanical transmission laboratory are mainly engaged in the fields of automobiles, heavy machinery and small home appliances. Of course, the most important thing is that the global shipping market has been in a downturn for five or six years, and it is still falling. Hong Kong¡¯s shipbuilding and ship-repair industries have all been hit to a halt. "Chairman, is this shipbuilding company put in Hong Kong?" "Or put it on the mainland?" Huo Jianning expressed his doubts. Xia Yu smiled and answered his doubts: "The eggs have to be placed in two baskets." "I know what you are thinking." "Don''t worry, according to my calculation, in the second half of this year, the global shipping market will get out of the trough and start to rise." "Now I''m going to start bargaining." "There were more than 300 shipbuilding companies and ship repair companies here in Xiangjiang. Although most of them have closed down now, these talents are still there. This time a new company was established to bring them all together." "In addition, Tiangong Shipbuilding Company also needs to open branches in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai. These three places are the places with the most abundant shipbuilding resources in the southern part of the mainland." "Okay, I understand." Huo Jianning suddenly nodded in response. "By the way, let Wheelock Shipping and Orient Overseas Shipping Co., Ltd. prepare for bottom hunting and expansion. The bottom hunting will begin in June this year, and it will be completed by August at the latest!" "Understand!" "Well, it''s late, let''s go home from get off work and do things tomorrow." "Ok." After finishing the assignment, Xia Yu got up and left the office, ready to go home. ... The next half month. Xia Yu is reporting on the development of various companies, and from time to time he visits individual companies on-site. Generally speaking, his company has a strong momentum of development. Whether it is revenue growth or net profit margin, it is a good one. He has set a long-term development strategy for every company he has handled, led the establishment or acquisition of. Under the circumstance that the person at the helm does not lose the management level, there will be no accidents. just after sorting out his assets. Three impressions were formed in Xia Yu''s mind. One. Although the family office has been sorting out his assets, there is still a lot of room for resource optimization and integration. 2. Although there is a lot of money, it is still not enough in combination with future development. He needs more capital to increase his influence on the world. It is too slow to rely solely on his own capital and the capital development of existing outsiders. Up! 3. His financial empire is already very large, but there is still a lot of internal potential that has not been discovered. The puzzle is not complete. In addition to banking, securities and insurance, the influence in other fields is not enough! The expected date of delivery for the wives is June and July. Before the children were born, he certainly would not, nor could he leave Xiangjiang. There is still such a long time now, he must make good use of it! is only for these three aspects. Xia Yu thought about it and found that some are easier to do, such as resource integration to explore new markets and set foot in new fields. But there are many that are very difficult, and there must be a suitable person to steer the helm, otherwise it will not be good at all. After careful screening, Xia Yu discovered that he still had to let his most capable cadre¡ªWang Qi do it. Before, Xia Yu laid the foundation for Wang Qi, and then stocked him in the past two years, allowing him to grow up in Xiangjiang and the island country. Of course, the burden is no less. Wang Qi returned to the position of president of Jiuding Securities Company, not only responsible for the globalization strategy of Jiuding Securities Company, but also needed to manage the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. Under his management, both aspects have developed very well. After this period of time, Xia Yu also personally visited Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Futures Trading, and he knew the situation of these two companies well. As for Jiuding Securities, its total assets have reached 74.54 billion U.S. dollars, but nearly seven of them are assets under management. There are also big differences in asset distribution. Heungjiang Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has the most assets, with total assets of 26.14 billion U.S. dollars, followed by the island country Jiuding Securities Co., with total assets of 18.37 billion U.S. dollars, and the United States Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., with total assets of 13.18 billion U.S. dollars. Then the assets of Jiuding Securities in the United Kingdom are US$4.25 billion, and the assets of Jiuding Securities in Canada are US$3.66 billion. In addition to companies in these five regions, Jiuding Securities in other countries and regions around the world have a total of 8.94 billion US dollars in assets under management. In terms of revenue data, Jiuding Securities'' total turnover last year was 10.32 billion U.S. dollars, and its net profit was as high as 4.31 billion U.S. dollars. This is not considered undelivered investment floating profit, otherwise the income will explode even more! The reason for such a terrifying net profit is that the actual source is that more than 20 billion US dollars of assets are self-owned assets, and the profits made by this part of the funds are entirely their own. Otherwise, just by charging investors'' management fees and commissions, a net profit margin of more than a dozen points would be extremely high! It is precisely for this reason that Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has not yet been listed, even if it is only a branch of a certain country, it is not listed! It is not uncommon that the ratio of self-owned capital in the world is higher than that of Jiuding Securities. There are even 100% self-owned capital, but the kind of small securities companies that are still in the early stages of development. But there is no similar situation in the world that has reached or approached the asset scale of Jiuding Securities, and there is only Jiuding Securities. Let''s talk about the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. Futures trading commodities are much richer than when they were just rebuilt. In addition, the financial market in Hong Kong has been very prosperous, and it has the atmosphere of the world''s financial center. Of course, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange has become very prosperous, and overseas capital investment is very active. In 1985, the trading volume of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange successfully exceeded 4 trillion Hong Kong dollars. UU Reading forecasted 5 trillion Hong Kong dollars, reaching a scale of 48125 billion Hong Kong dollars. The average daily trading volume on a working day was 19.25 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was 1983. 4.2 times that of the whole year! (Futures leverage is extremely high, so in terms of trading data, it will far exceed the stock market) And the trading commission of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange also reached 2.406 billion Hong Kong dollars! From the perspective of the operating company, if the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange is listed on the stock exchange, the market value is only one or two tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and it is not worthy of giving shoes to Jiuding Securities. But when it comes to the positive impact on Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange is stronger than Jiuding Securities. Holding the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange, he controls the influence on Xiangjiang and the global capital market. This is something higher than money. And the control of the influence of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange was in the hands of Xia Yu from beginning to end. It¡¯s just that Xia Yu hides behind, and it is Wang Qi, the president of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. and the chairman of Xiangjiang Futures Exchange, who are pushed to the front desk. With Wang Qi''s influence and prestige in the financial market, there is one thing for him to do, it couldn''t be more appropriate! That is the asset management industry! An industry that is very mysterious to outsiders and has a feeling of seeing a dragon without seeing the end! v3 Chapter 1411: Benefits of asset management giants "Chairman, you have been waiting for a long time." "Well, sit down!" The next morning, Wang Qi came to Xia Yu''s office. Seeing Wang Qi''s mental outlook and natural temperament, Xia Yu was very satisfied. "Wang Qi, I am calling you over this time because there is an important task that I want to entrust you to do." "It is not suitable for others, and I am not at ease." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qi solemnly said: "Chairman, please make arrangements. I promise to do my best to implement it." Xia Yu smiled and said lightly: "To do this well, you have to invest most of your energy. You can''t manage Jiuding Securities. Let Yuan Tianfan continue to take over." "Any comments?" Wang Qi shook his head decisively and said: "I have no opinion, I will completely obey your arrangement." Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction, then took a piece of material from the left hand and placed it in front of Wang Qi. "Let''s take a look first, this is what I want you to do." With curiosity, Wang Qi picked up the materials and opened the cover. After seeing the words "asset management", he immediately understood. In the field of asset management, he is no stranger, because Jiuding Securities is doing it now. Of course, the asset management company is a subsidiary of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and the scale is not large. On the contrary, the asset management department of Jiuding Bank is even bigger. Jiuding Insurance Company also has an asset management department. However, the current asset management business of Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Insurance Company is different from that of Jiuding Securities. The first two companies managed their own assets and did not open external businesses. On the contrary, the asset management subsidiary of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is the entrusted asset management. This entrusted asset management is different from the nature of the business of Jiuding Trust Company. This time, since the chairman of the board asked him to discuss this matter alone, it must be that the status quo is not satisfactory enough. The truth will be clear after reading the materials. With a series of doubts, Wang Qi quickly read it. This material is actually a report on the global asset management industry surveyed. The asset management industry originated very early, as early as the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. For example, the parent company of Xiangjiang Baoyuan Investment Company, Schroder Group, was an asset management company established in 1804. The reason why the general public is not familiar with it is that the asset management industry, from the very beginning, has not faced the general public. Unlike banks, securities companies, etc., they have a lot of dealings with the general public. But in the asset management industry, the market is extremely broad and it is also a predator. The four major domestic amcs in the later generations, Huarong, Great Wall, Dongfang and Xinda, are all giants. But when compared with foreign asset management giants, it''s nothing short of a big picture. For example, BlackRock, the world''s largest asset management group in the future, has assets under management of up to 7.3 trillion US dollars. The second place is the Pioneer Group in the United States, with assets under management of up to 6.1 trillion US dollars. UBS Group, State Street Global Investment Management Group, Fidelity Investment Group have more than three trillion US dollars. Allianz Asset Management Group, **** Asset Management Group, Goldman Sachs Group, Bank of New York Mellon and Pacific Investment Management Group have more than two trillion US dollars. There are more asset management giants with more than one trillion US dollars. The influence of any asset management group is amazing. Because you can see these asset management giants among the top ten shareholders of any listed Fortune 500 company in the world. Because of this, the influence of these asset management giants is spread all over the world, and the resources that can be obtained are not bottom-less. Although the business of an asset management company is simply to manage wealth on behalf of customers, the money comes from customers, individual investors or institutional investors, including government or local government pensions, foundations, donations, official institutions, and financial institutions. And businesses, etc. But influence is not calculated in terms of ownership, but in terms of usage rights. Regardless of who gives power, the key depends on who holds it. Because those in power are in direct contact with all sectors of society. Of course, these are the great giants of later generations. According to the current investigation, BlackRock, the king of asset management, has not yet registered, and there is no shadow. The Bank of New York Mellon did not even appear, and now only the Bank of New York and Mellon Financial Corporation have not merged. Such as Pacific Investment Management Group, Fidelity Investment Group, Pioneer Group, etc., have only been established for ten or twenty years. Although they are now large companies, they have not yet entered the top ten fields in the world. In this era, the number of asset management companies is extremely large, and there are also many investment opportunities. This makes the phenomenon of big fish eat small fishes in the field of asset management are not many. Therefore, on a global scale, no asset management group has more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in assets. trillions or even six or seven trillion US dollars in assets, in this era when money is still very valuable, it is a fantasy, no one dares to imagine. ... Time is passing fast. is the effort of two cups of tea. Wang Qi read all the materials in his hands. After putting down the materials, he said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, are you planning to re-establish an asset management company and let me manage it?" Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "That''s right." "Is there any pressure?" Wang Qi smiled bitterly and said frankly: "There must be pressure, but I have absolute confidence to build it." "I just want to become a global asset management giant, I don''t have much confidence." In the material just now, he saw information about asset management giants in the United States and Europe. He has heard of these companies. In Asia, especially the Southeast Asian generation, even in island countries, he is confident that he will build an asset management company because the Jiuding Consortium has a huge influence in Asia. As soon as the asset management company is established, he will let go, and countless amounts of money will be asked to be delivered to the door to be managed. One more thing, as far as the asset management market is concerned, the intensity of competition in Asia is not as strong as in Europe and the United States. But if you want to enter the European and American markets, it is extremely difficult, because the opponent has a local advantage. Huge funds such as pension funds, school education funds, government sovereign funds, etc., will not be easily managed by foreign companies. What''s more, the financial markets in Europe and the United States are already super prosperous, and Wall Street in the United States is the core of the global financial industry. There are predators there. Even if Wang Qi is confident, he will not think that he can run wild on Wall Street! How is this competition? Wang Qi''s worries, Xia Yu heard it. He smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s good to have pressure, but don¡¯t underestimate yourself.¡± "In fact, in the financial industry, as far as investors are concerned, the relationships and factors do not make real profits." "As long as it can bring enough profits to investors, build up the reputation and brand, and don''t have to look for it, investors will lick their faces and send money to the door." If it weren''t for this reason, future generations of BlackRock, Pioneer Group and other giants would not grow so fast. Investors are asking for management in billions or even tens of billions of dollars. "Chairman, I understand that I will do my best." Wang Qi took a deep breath and solemnly promised. "Don''t worry, have a cup of tea first, and listen to my request." "It''s actually not as difficult as you think." Xia Yu smiled, and after Wang Qi had a cup of tea, he continued talking. "Although asset management companies are different from securities companies, they also overlap greatly." "It is not impossible to expand Jiuding Securities into an asset management company, but it is not necessary. Jiuding Securities aims to be a world-class investment bank." "A new asset management company whose business includes asset management, investment management, corporate management, and entrusted asset management. The income includes asset management fees for drought and flood protection, and investment income sharing." "Actually, for this company, my goal is not to make money. The company''s operating profit is not my pursuit, do you understand?" Wang Qi was taken aback, contemplating his eyebrows. After a while, he asked uncertainly: "What do you mean is to drastically reduce asset management costs and the share of investment income, so as to gather as much capital as possible into the company?" "Then use the money to invest in fancy assets in advance, and then take over when it is about to be acquired?" Xia Yu smiled and said with satisfaction: "It''s good that you can think of this far." Hearing this, Wang Qi also showed a humble smile, and his heart settled. He guessed right. This involves the general investment logic of the market. for example. Suppose Xia Yu is going to acquire Texas Instruments in three years. If he allows Polaris Capital to come forward, then the current image of billion Polaris Capital will be immediately regarded as a malicious merger, and the acquisition cost will be extremely high. Even a normal acquisition must have a high premium. A slight stock market movement is exposed, and the stock price of Texas Instruments Group will soar. But if the asset management group is allowed to come forward, the nature will be different. The image that the asset management group wants to build is the appreciation of global investment, which is a stable price investment. Even if it will do the same merger and acquisition business as the Goldman Sachs Group, it will not change the nature of its price investment. Therefore, it would be easy for the asset management group to go to the stock market to purchase the shares of Texas Instruments Group, but the original shareholders would welcome it because it introduced a super heavyweight shareholder as the ballast of the stock price. Even if it is the acquisition of the original shareholder¡¯s equity, it will not cause huge disturbances and the original controller¡¯s vigilance. In this case, the difficulty and cost of acquisition will be much lower. But price investment, in the final analysis, is for profit. If there is a certain profit, it is normal for the asset management group to sell the shares of Texas Instruments Group. After a year or a half of the storm has subsided, Xia Yu can completely transfer the equity of Texas Instruments Group held by the Asset Management Group to other companies of his own at one time. As for the price, that is As long as it doesn¡¯t lose money, investors can¡¯t question insider operations. Compared with direct acquisition, such an acquisition process has one more link and it takes longer. But the advantage is very obvious. can save huge acquisition costs, and can increase the success rate of mergers and acquisitions. The cost saved here is actually the hidden profit Xia Yu obtained. Compared with this profit, what asset management fees, what investment income share, that''s a shit! If you don¡¯t have this investor¡¯s money, and you go to the bank to borrow money to buy, the bank interest and handling fee alone will be higher than the asset management fee and investment income share, and it will also bring huge risks. In conclusion. The purpose of Xia Yu''s establishment of an asset management group is to use other people''s money to help himself invest, and while saving money for himself, investors have to be willing to pay for entrustment! And compared with small and medium investors, these high-quality individual investors and large institutions, because of the amount of assets entrusted to invest, the requirements for profit are not so high! After all, everyone who understands investment knows that one million U.S. dollars doubles in a year, and 10 billion U.S. dollars makes 5% of the profit a year. The difficulty is very different! v3 Chapter 1412: Global Payment System "Then chairman, what is the name of this company?" "Do you want to put it under Jiuding Financial Group?" After understanding the positioning of this asset management company, Wang Qi''s pressure was reduced by more than half, but there were still some things that were not clear, so he took the initiative to ask Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head: "Don''t put it under Jiuding Financial Group." "The new company is called Kirin Capital." "We are an asset management company that brings prosperity and wealth to investors." Wang Qi applauded him and flattered his flattery: "This name has a good meaning, and people will be able to leave a deep impression when they hear it." Xia Yu scolded with a smile: "Okay, don''t come to these imaginary things." "The asset management business of companies such as Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will not be allocated to Kirin Capital, so after the establishment of the new company, you have to find ways to raise funds immediately." "However, I give the right to transfer people. In the entire Jiuding Financial Group, you can find new companies, but the premise is not to have a big impact on the original company." Wang Qi nodded hurriedly and said: "Chairman, rest assured, I will take care of this degree." "Ok." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and after a moment of indulgence, he reminded: ¡°There is one more thing you have to remember. Kirin Capital needs to raise funds and it must be different from Jiuding Securities, so that investors should not misunderstand.¡± "Otherwise, Kirin Capital''s low management fee and low commission will easily make Jiuding Securities'' investors feel unbalanced. There are advantages here, so you have to add conditions in other areas, such as the length of the closed management period." "Investors of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. cannot be allowed to transfer funds to Kirin Capital. This will be boring." "Kylin Capital Company wants to grab the cake from its peers outside." Wang Qi solemnly nodded his head and promised: "Chairman, don''t worry, I will fully control this degree." "At the same time as the company is established, I will immediately formulate a company management plan, and I will ask you to check it at that time." Xia Yu smiled and said, "Okay." "Do you have any other questions?" "temporarily unavailable." "That''s it, you can go ahead and do it first." "Okay, Chairman, I''m leaving now." After watching Wang Qi leave, Xia Yu got up and walked back and forth in the office, flexing his muscles and bones. after ten minutes of relaxation. Xia Yu entered the working state again. I sorted out assets before, but found three types of problems. , a Kirin Capital company was established, but it did not solve any of these problems. just found a seemingly good solution for the second type of problem discovered. The faster Kirin Capital develops and the more assets, the smaller such problems will be. When will it be solved? Even Xia Yu can''t estimate it. After all, the future is full of infinite possibilities, he may always be short of money... He did the raising money. But spending money can¡¯t be left behind. Because there is a market, money is spent, and the future is infinitely bright. That is the credit card market! This is a market where total consumption exceeded the total global cash consumption before Xia Yu''s rebirth, and it is destined to be the first to land in the digital currency era in the future. Before Xia Yu was reborn, the scale of global credit card consumption exceeded US$26 trillion, and it was still expanding at an extremely high rate of growth every year. The market value of Visa Card, a credit card giant of later generations, exceeds US$500 billion, and MasterCard is also worth nearly US$400 billion, and there are some giants behind. Of course, a large market and high potential are one thing. The most important reason for setting foot in this market and becoming bigger and stronger is that this is a general trend that no bank can resist. Behind this is a global payment network system with infinite power hidden underneath! Unless Xia Yu does not want to build stronger barriers for his financial empire, this must be done! In later generations, there are six major credit card alliances in the world, occupying more than nine tiers of the global credit card market. are the American Visa, American Mastercard, American Express, American Diners Club, Island Country Gisme Card, and China UnionPay! The credit card alliance has many functions, and the most important one is to provide a payment card system for multi-currency clearing and settlement. This function can speed up settlement between financial institutions and greatly improve transaction efficiency. And Xia Yu''s banking empire spreads all over the world, involving a large number of currencies, such as the British pound, the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the Hong Kong dollar, and so on. It can be said that, except for some small countries, most countries in the world now have its bank branches. These bank branches belong to different banks, and the relationship has not been fully established. Although it is said that the banks of Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Consortium, Bright Consortium and Polaris Consortium have established cooperative relations, and the cooperation is particularly close. But the resources of the banking empire are only part of it. There is an urgent need for a transaction and payment network that can cover the world, link these banks, and realize the further exchange of funds and resources. Without this network, let alone the future, even the current banking competition will suffer. Of course, in fact, all major banks under Xia Yu have basically joined major credit card organizations. For example, HSBC has joined the European International Payments Organization, and it issues Euroland cards. Standard Chartered Bank, Wells Fargo Bank and Northern Trust Company are members of MasterCard International, and they issue MasterCard. Westpac Bank of Australia joined the US Visa International Organization and issued Visa. Chiba Bank, Shizuoka Bank and many other banks in the island country are affiliated to the island country¡¯s Jisme Card International Organization and issue Jisme Cards. Own banking resources are all contributing to these credit card organizations. Because these credit cards are issued, they have to follow the standards and rules of these credit card organizations. The most important thing is that these organizations can control the data of these credit card users. And these organizations, although they are still alliances, are not for profit purposes. However, Xia Yu, who is familiar with the future trend, is very clear that it is because it is still in the pioneering period. The major international credit card organizations are still competing for customers. Making money is not the goal. It is the most important thing to win the right to set standards and market leadership. . Once the structure is stable, these credit card international organizations will be transformed into a profitable company. At that time, the standard setters are in full control. Both banks and individual users can only abide by the later changed rules, such as card issuance fees, card replacement fees, handling fees, and so on. This kind of routine is the old routine of capital, and one trick is rarely eaten all over the world. Unless you encounter a socialist iron fist, it can almost be said to be effective forever! Fortunately, major international credit card organizations are still vying for the market. The later generations of Visa and MasterCard occupy 72% of the global credit card market. The pattern has not yet taken shape. China UnionPay has not even appeared yet. Morgan Stanley was dissatisfied that Diners Club International was controlled by Citibank, and started a new venture. Last year, it also established Discovery Card International, the sixth largest credit card company in the United States. It didn''t take long for it to start at this time. Vicasa International, the largest in the U.S. market, is backed by the Bank of America, a California consortium. The second largest international MasterCard organization is backed by the joint support of established consortia such as the Mellon Consortium, Texas Consortium, and Boston Consortium. Needless to say, the third-largest international organization of American Express cards, American Express, which is deeply influenced by the Rockefeller consortium, was launched, and Chase Manhattan Bank and other giants are fully supporting it. ... In Xia Yu''s long-term planning. Southeast Asia is his basic market, and the mainland market is also his back. Southeast Asia was basically eaten by Visa and Mastercard in the previous life. Even if the mainland has established China UnionPay, more than 600 million credit cards have been issued, and more than 90% of them are Visa and Mastercard. Although the accounts of these cards are managed by the issuing bank, the issuing rules, business specifications, technical standards, transactions, and clearing of the cards follow the unified regulations of Visa and MasterCard. The card data is centrally managed by them, and the main transactions and clearing are Completed through their network. Under this structure, the issuing banks have become the brand distributors of Visa and MasterCard, and regional or domestic bank card networks and organizations mainly conduct transaction transfers for them. In fact, they have become part of the global network. component. The essence of this pattern is that multinational companies such as Visa and MasterCard dominate the global personal payment system. This kind of power, he also desires to have it! Therefore, when Wang Qi tried his best to build Kylin Capital. Xia Yu asked people to take out two floors in a building in Central, and registered and established a credit card international organization called "Global". After ¡¡¡¡ was incorporated, Xia Yu did not immediately list. is to mobilize the resources of the consortium, UU reading global hunting and hiring. Moreover, Xia Yu also used money to bring in a credit card organization in the western United States and the United Kingdom. has the experience of these two credit card organizations, coupled with the resource support of the consortium. Global Credit Card International Organization takes shape at a rocket speed. But the time has come to the end of March. While the Global Credit Card International Organization was still being set up, Kirin Capital took the lead in making all preparations. Xia Yu was named chairman of the board, and Wang Qi was appointed as the president of Kirin Capital. Various financial elites gathered under his command, and many funds were also ready. Xia Yu gave an order. The financial media took the lead, and Kirin Capital Corporation appeared in front of the world with a very high attitude. When it was hotly discussed in Asia. A copy of the exquisite brochures introducing Kylin Capital Company was sent out. Those who are eligible to receive the brochure are high-quality customers with bank deposits of more than one million Hong Kong dollars. Jiuding Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and other banks have provided Kirin Capital with this customer information. The boss with assets of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars not only received the brochure, but also received an exquisite cocktail invitation! v3 Chapter 1413: Inaugurate the history of Asian financial circles April 1. This belongs to April Fool''s Day in Western culture. But Xia Yu doesn''t think about this. On this day, Xiangjiang''s rich boss would not think that the stock **** Xia Yu would be joking. Early in the morning, all the big guys went to the Peninsula Hotel with invitations. Outside the Peninsula Hotel, Aegis Security has already completed a comprehensive security inspection. Except for a large number of reporters with long guns and short cannons who entered the inner circle, everyone else was outside the cordon. In the beginning, the reporters did not necessarily recognize many of the people present, even if they were billionaires with wealth. After all, the rich people who have received the invitation letter, in addition to the Hong Kong and Omen, there are also rich people in Taiwan Province and Southeast Asian countries. As time goes by, the big guys on the scene get more and more heavyweight, the cheers on the scene are getting stronger and stronger, the reporters'' film is as if they don¡¯t need money, they keep pressing the shutter. "Wow, it''s the stock **** who is here. Snapshot and Snapshot. It''s rare to get him once a year. He really attended!" "click...click..." When Xia Yu''s motorcade arrived, after he got out of the car, the whole outfield instantly became restless, and the Aegis security staff were also on the alert, 200% vigilant, and their gazes shot around like a radar. "God of stock, take me to get rich!" "Boss, what''s the threshold of the fund, are you managing it?" ... The melon-eating people on the periphery were also excited by Xia Yu''s appearance, and many people even shouted to Xia Yu. Xia Yu, who was walking in the middle of the red carpet, suddenly stopped and waved to the side. Someone immediately came over with a microphone. This scene caused the adrenaline of everyone present to soar. "The purpose of Kirin Capital''s establishment is to serve all customers who don''t have the energy to invest and don''t understand investment but want to make money. For the specific situation, you can read the news of Global Satellite TV''s financial channel and the financial newspapers on the market these days. " "thanks for your support!" "Thank you guys!" "Okay, I must watch..." "Papa Papa..." In a burst of cheers and applause, Xia Yu waved his hand and walked in the red carpet, disappearing from everyone''s sight. Xia Yu is too late, and Wang Qi has been maintaining the atmosphere at the scene. However, when Xia Yu entered the field, he instantly became the focus of the audience, and almost everyone subconsciously stepped up and wanted to surround Xia Yu. But in the end, the distance from Xia Yu was determined by social status. The weaker rich men saw that those super big men had already taken the lead, and they could only dare to stay away. "Mr. Xia, congratulations on getting rich!" "Mr. Xia, long time no see." "A Yu, today we have to follow you to open our eyes again." Lin Wenjing, Wang Dehui, Bao Yugang, one of Indonesia''s forests, greeted Xia Yu one after another. "I would like to thank everyone for joining us. I was worried yesterday. Don''t send out the invitation letter. Half of the people will not be able to come today." Xia Yu joked. "How is this possible? If you don''t even come to the reception, what kind of business do you have?" "Don''t be humble, haha..." "Mr. Bao is right. Everyone is rushing to the reception you hosted, Mr. Xia." "As far as I know, someone offered two million Hong Kong dollars, but they still couldn''t buy it!" The others laughed and agreed, praising Xia Yu. After continuing to chat for a while, nearly a thousand people have gathered in the huge venue. Seeing that the time was almost the same, Xia Yu complained to the surrounding guests and walked towards Wang Qi''s location. docked with Wang Qi again and found that all the invitations sent out had been withdrawn, and none of them were absent from today''s reception. just right, the time is approaching nine o''clock in the morning. Without a word, Xia Yu took a steady step and stepped onto the middle stage. In a short time, the entire venue was quiet, everyone''s eyes were focused on Xia Yu, and the cameras on both sides were also pointed at Xia Yu. "Hello everyone, this is Xia Yu, thank all my old and new friends for coming to this reception today in their busy schedule." "I just took a look, and the 1018 invitations sent out have all been retracted!" "I think this should be the heaviest cocktail party in the history of the entire Asian business community." "This is my honour, thank you all for your support!" Xia Yu said loudly, smiling and bowing to everyone. With his current status, he also made such a move, and naturally won thunderous applause. "thank you all!" After the applause fell, Xia Yu smiled again to thank him, and continued to speak aloud. "I know that everyone here has their own unique experience in investment, and many of them have a stronger investment vision than me." "Haha..." As soon as this sentence came out, there was a burst of kind laughter off the court. Everyone only listened to the first half of this sentence, and the second half was just as a joke. There really needs to be someone who has a stronger investment vision than Xia Yu, and it will not be the young and powerful Xia Yu dominating the entire Southeast and East Asia. "But I think that many of my friends spend most of their energy on running a business, and they lack the time and energy for investment." "So the Kirin Capital Company came into being. It appeared to give everyone a choice to increase the value of their wealth." "This company, I will serve as the chairman of the board, responsible for the company''s strategic development direction." "The president of the company is Wang Qi. I believe everyone will be familiar with him." "Next, Wang Qi will introduce the details of our Kirin Capital Company." Xia Yu just finished speaking, amidst a burst of warm applause, Wang Qi walked up from the side, and Xia Yu took advantage of the momentum and came to the reserved position in the first row to sit down. After Wang Qi smiled and introduced himself calmly, he started talking. "Hello everyone, this is Wang Qi." "I won''t say any more polite words, let''s go directly to the topic now." "I believe everyone is very curious about the development direction of Kirin Capital, and whether it will be the second Jiuding Securities Company." "I can tell everyone clearly that Kirin Capital will not be the second Jiuding Securities Company, but after researching with Chairman Mr. Xia Yu, Kirin Capital''s goal is to become a financial company far beyond Jiuding Securities. ." "Its goal is to become the world''s largest asset management company, with steady and long-term earnings that will run through the present and future of Kirin Capital!" "You can safely hand over your money to us to help with investment management, and we will do our best to use all resources to increase the value of everyone''s wealth." "This time, we launched three products, namely Kirin Bond No. 1 Fund, Kirin Hang Seng Index Fund, and Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 1!" "..." Everyone listened attentively to the content below. After all, only after they understood can they decide which fund to invest in. But what Wang Qi said made many people dumbfounded. Kirin Bond No. 1 Fund is a passively managed fund that focuses on the bond market. The annual management fee of the fund is 1% of the fund''s net asset value, and the commission income is only 10%! Kylin Hang Seng Index Fund, also a passively managed fund, is the first index fund in Hong Kong. The annual fund management fee is 1.2%, and the income commission is a fixed 12%! Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 1 is the only actively managed fund among the three funds. The risk is higher than that of the Hang Seng Index Fund and the Kirin Bond No. 1 Fund, but it is not the highest within the scope of Xiangjiang. The risk of hybrid funds is between growth and value funds. As far as risk is concerned, it is not even ranked in the top ten among the funds under Jiuding Securities. Of course, because the risk is higher than the Hang Seng Index Fund and the Kirin Bond No. 1 Fund, the annual management fee is 2%, and the fixed increase in income is 20%. The annual management fees and commission income of these three funds are definitely low-end in the current Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia areas! What''s more, Kirin Capital is not without fame. Behind it are two big men, Xia Yu and Wang Qi. The fund managers of the three funds are all Wang Qi! This annual rate is proportional to the income commission, and it shouldn¡¯t be here at all. It¡¯s all about giving benefits! Kylin Capital can charge more fees! For example, the star fund of Jiuding Securities Company, the Huijin and Huizhong series of funds that started from the base, the guarantee is 20% of the income commission, and the stepped up can be 50%. This is still a lot of people who want to invest in breaking their heads. . Compared with the Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 1, although the risk is lower, the fixed income ratio is also low. This is the lowest line of the industry, but the investment imagination is extremely high! Of course, the temptation is great, and the restrictions are great. These three funds are all closed-end funds. The Kirin No. 1 Fund and the Kirin Hang Seng Index Fund have a five-year closed period. The Kylin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 1 has a three-year closed period. There is no investment limit for the three funds, and there is no cap on UU reading ! The issue of the number of years of closure, the impact is big and big, and small and small. The key lies in investors'' confidence in the fund. And speaking of confidence? just kidding! If you don¡¯t have confidence in Xia Yu and Wang Qi, how can Hong Kong and Macau, as a whole in Southeast Asia, still have confidence in that financial tycoon? So after Wang Qi finished speaking, many people decided in an instant, they must vote! As for investment shares and investment fund selection, they also thought about it for the first time. But Bao Yugang and others saw something deeper. He happened to be sitting next to Xia Yu. He immediately looked over his head and joked to Xia Yu quietly: "A Yu, once your three funds are released, the entire financial market will have to set off a **** storm, those middle and low-end ones. Funds cannot escape the fate of being harvested by you." "Congratulations in advance, Kirin Capital has the potential to surpass Jiuding Securities." "If you don''t move, you are always shaking the world!" "I was suddenly curious about how many funds these three funds can raise this year!" Xia Yu looked at Bao Yugang and said with a spring breeze: "Actually, I''m quite curious." After that, Xia Yu turned his head and glanced back, the expectation in his heart became more intense. v3 Chapter 1414: Fundraising in the prehistory of global finance 3 In fact, it is not only Bao Yugang who is curious. Those present were all wealthy individuals with a net worth of over 100 million, and all of them were elites. After listening to Wang Qi''s introduction, they all understood that these three funds are going to explode today. Because they couldn''t help but want to make a fortune, get on the boat of the gods, and lie down to make money. Therefore, after Wang Qi announced the start of the subscription, dozens of subscription points in the venue were all surrounded. The scene is quite hot! Some big bosses who are not in a hurry seize this rare platform to communicate and develop new relationships. Naturally, the subscription work cannot be completed in one morning. Xia Yu had already arranged the Peninsula Hotel to prepare a sumptuous luncheon, and also put out a lot of good wine in his own collection. After having lunch, even those who had already subscribed were not willing to leave, and they all stayed in the venue. Either to make new friends, or to witness this historic moment with your own eyes! at last! Time went to 3:45 in the afternoon. The subscription work was fully completed, and all 1,018 guests participated in the subscription. Of course, the funds are naturally more or less. Some people sincerely want to invest, so they write down a very high subscription amount, and some people are short of money, so it just means to invest one or two million Hong Kong dollars. Even less, no, because the threshold for these three private equity funds is one million Hong Kong dollars. Soon, the data of dozens of subscribed working groups were put together, and after reporting to Wang Qi, Wang Qi was handed over to Xia Yu. After reading it carefully, Xia Yu took the summary data and came to the center of the stage again. Thousands of people in the audience focused on him. The own media who invited to enter the scene also pointed the camera at him, hoping to record this historic moment. "Today''s subscription work has been fully completed. All the friends present have given us tremendous support. Here, I would like to say thank you again to everyone!" After saying these words in a passionate voice, Xia Yu bowed slightly. Suddenly greeted with warm applause. "Papa Papa" "Now, I announce to everyone our fundraising situation this time." "A friend has subscribed for as much as 5.7 billion Hong Kong dollars. As for who it is, because of the principle of confidentiality, it will not be announced." "Oh!" After the highest subscription amount came out, the audience exclaimed, and most people asked in a low voice, and most people''s eyes were on those super big guys. "The subscription status of the three funds is as follows." "Kirin Bond No. 1 Fund, the subscription amount reached 47.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "Kirin Hang Seng Index Fund No. 1 has a subscription amount of HKD 134.7 billion." "Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 1 has the largest subscription amount, at 141.8 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Today''s cocktail party raised a total of 324.3 billion Hong Kong dollars in investment funds!" "This is the largest single fundraising reception in the history of the entire Asian financial sector!" "324.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$531.6 billion, can also be ranked among the top three in the history of global finance." "This time the history was created by all the friends sitting here, thank you for your support and recognition!" "Papa Papa" The applause this time is the warmest one since today. At this time, the applause is an excellent way to release the inner shock. The thunderous applause lasted for nearly a minute before it gradually dissipated. But the camera completely recorded this historic moment of great commemorative value. Later, Xia Yu announced the end of the fundraising cocktail party and all the talents left in an orderly manner. Of course, this time is also the time for the long-awaited feast for media reporters to begin. The bigwigs who have participated in and witnessed history with their own eyes are happy to accept interviews. The situation of the entire fundraising reception was recorded by different media through their narration. When the figure of 324.3 billion Hong Kong dollars was exposed, it naturally caused waves of exclamations. The evening paper that evening reported the situation of the fundraising reception of Kirin Capital. In the evening, the news of Global Satellite TV, which covers the whole world, was 30 minutes, and the history created by Kirin Capital was once again made public. Of course, the news also aired an interview video with Wang Qi, the president of Kylin Capital. Wang Qi said a source that made many viewers eager to watch. That is, starting from April 2nd, the three public funds established by Kirin Capital will formally raise funds from outside, and the fundraising time will last for half a month. The three public offering funds are the Kirin Bond No. 2 Fund, the Kirin Hang Seng Index No. 2 Fund and the Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 2. For the three public offering funds, the investment threshold has been lowered to 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but compared to those of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars or 1 Hong Kong dollars, the threshold is very high. But what Kirin Capital wants is high-quality customers from this class. These three funds are also closed-end funds, and the closed period is the same as the previous three private equity funds. Customers who want to buy shares of public funds can not only come directly to Kirin Capital, but also through other channels. For example, securities firms such as Jiuding Securities, Dingfeng Securities, and Sun Hung Kai Securities. Another example is HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank, Hang Lung Bank, Guangli Wing Hang Bank and other banks. These banks and brokerages all have fund agency licenses. When Kirin Capital was in full swing in its fundraising in Asia. The blockbuster news that Kirin Capital raised US$531.6 billion in a private equity cocktail party was also spread all over the world through the media empire of the Xia Yu Consortium. Kirin Capital has just come out, and it has shown itself in front of the world with such a super high posture. Currently, Kirin Capital has not opened up business in Europe and the United States. But its reputation has spread to the ears of various bigwigs and spread throughout the global financial community. The seeds have been planted. Only after Kirin Capital has made amazing achievements, the time will be ripe, and it will be time for Kirin Capital to start its global strategy! Two flowers bloom, one on each table. At the time when Kirin Capital''s three public offering funds were selling well. Xia Yu''s aerospace strategy has finally completed its layout. In the satellite field. Hughes Aircraft Company has completed its strategy of dominating the satellite market. On March 22, it acquired Laura Electronics for a price of 4.7 billion U.S. dollars. Then, on April 9th, it took 53 days and successfully persuaded Ford to buy Ford Aerospace and Communications at a price of 14.2 billion U.S. dollars. In addition to completing the absolute **** of the satellite market, Hughes Aircraft Corporation has also acquired the assets of the two companies in the fields of missiles, radars, and reconnaissance aircraft, which greatly expanded its heritage. In the field of launch vehicles, the difficulty is smaller than in the field of satellites. After all, the launch vehicle has not been taken seriously in the past ten years, and has already agreed with Leonard Mellon in advance. Space Exploration Technology Corporation took over the assets of Martin Marietta''s Hercules series of launch vehicles at a price of $7.8 billion, including all technical data, as well as the project''s technical personnel, experiment and launch base. The headquarters of the Space Exploration Technology Company is also under construction. The address is located in Hawthorne, a small town with only more than two thousand people in southwestern California. Time passed gradually. It was April 17 in a flash. On April 2 and 16, the half-month fund public offering period finally ended. With the fundraising situation, Wang Qi knocked on Xia Yu''s office door with a smile on his face. "Come in!" "Chairman, I''m here to tell you good news." As soon as he entered the door, Wang Qi said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled slightly, put down the pen, stretched out, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, how much money has been raised?" "Chairman." "Kirin Bond No. 2 Fund has 32,172 people who subscribed to raise funds of 2.573.76 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 80,000 Hong Kong dollars per capita." "Kirin Hang Seng Index No. 2 Fund, 42862 people have subscribed to raise funds of 6,006,680,000 Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 140,000 Hong Kong dollars per capita." "Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 2 has the largest number of subscribers, reaching 63,229 people, raising funds of 10.74893 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 170,000 Hong Kong dollars per capita!" "The three funds have raised a total of 19.32337 million Hong Kong dollars." "With the addition of the three private equity funds we raised on the 1st, Kirin Capital''s assets under management have now reached 51.73 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "It has reached one-ninth of the scale of Jiuding Securities." When Wang Qi introduced this result, the smile on his face was very bright. Although Kirin Capital is still far from the Jiuding Securities Company he originally controlled, it can''t resist the high start of Kirin Capital! I think that Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. had only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars when it started, and even less than 1% of Kirin Capital''s now With so much capital in hand, he is confident to lead Kirin Capital to surpass. Jiuding Securities Company. "It seems that investors still trust us quite a bit." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Chairman, the main reason is that your reputation is big enough. You stopped being the chairman of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. a long time ago. Now you are the chairman of Kirin Capital Company. Of course, investors can''t wait to dig out their homes and rub your hands. Wealth." Wang Qi said naturally. Xia Yu couldn''t help shaking his head and chuckling. "Well, you don''t want to belittle yourself, your reputation has also played a big role." "But this time the results are very good, but have you found any problems?" Upon hearing this, Wang Qi smiled, nodded and said: "I found out that the two funds of Tianyi Mixed together amounted to 24,9289.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 47, nearly half of the company''s total capital." "You told me before that Kirin Capital''s main focus is passive investment, which is less difficult to manage and less risky passive funds occupy 80% or even more than 90% of the share." "Investors nowadays are more gambling and prefer active hybrid funds with higher risks." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "You can see it." "But it''s forgivable now." "When the market conditions are relatively good, investors really prefer risky active funds because of higher returns." "Passive funds want to stand out, the key is to look at the bear market. When the bear market comes, the big waves will rush into the sand, and real gold will naturally come out." "Operate well first, the capital market can''t keep going up, there is always a cycle, just wait." "I understand that I will do my best." Wang Qi nodded solemnly. v3 Chapter 1415: 10 million pieces of small goal When Wang Qi devoted himself to investment. Xia Yu came to the premises of the Global Credit Card International Organization in a low-key manner. This non-profit organization finally completed its work on April 19th. "Hello, Chairman!" "Well, go, take me to see the results." After arriving, Xu Chongguang, who was appointed by Xia Yu as the chairman of the Global Credit Card International Organization, went out to greet him in person. He was originally the vice president of Jiuding Bank. After Liu Tianci recommended and Xia Yu sent for inspection, he was transferred to take the heavy burden. "Okay, Chairman, please come with me!" Xu Chongguang respectfully responded, and then led Xia Yu and others to walk in one direction. Soon, the group came to a large studio with many employees busy. "Chairman, please take a look. This is the credit card style template we provide for each bank. There are three types, which can be selected by each organization member bank." "On every type of credit card, the logo of our Global Credit Card International Organization only occupies half of the page." "According to our investigation, at present, all credit card international organizations occupy at least 80 positions on the credit card page around the world, and there are very few places reserved for banks." "We dropped it directly to 50%, which is more friendly to various banks and will not just promote our organization." Xu Chongguang took three exquisitely crafted cards and handed them to Xia Yu, and then introduced them. Xia Yu listened to the report while observing the three cards in hand. As far as workmanship and materials are concerned, there is no doubt that it can be seen at a glance. In terms of design, it is indeed very beautiful and friendly to banks, which is conducive to the promotion after benchmarking with other credit card international organizations. In terms of business, Global Credit Card International is different from American Express. Instead, it favors the Visa and MasterCard operating models. The Global Credit Card International Organization itself does not issue credit cards and only cooperates with banks. Therefore, the main issuers of credit cards are all banks. It''s just that the member banks of each organization use the credit card standards of the Global Credit Card International Organization and the Global Clearing System for the transaction and clearing system. After using this system, there is an advantage, that is, any bank can no longer have to launch its own machine to do the merchant''s local promotion business. All of this, the Global Credit Card International Organization will do it all. To this end, it has also created a machine that supports the global clearing system, so that any bank''s global credit card can be used to directly swipe money. As for the more complicated work behind, such as the settlement of transactions between various banks, the settlement of funds between banks and merchants, etc., all are completed by the Global Credit Card International Organization. In this way, merchants do not need to place a few or even a dozen of banks¡¯ machines in the store, and small banks will not be restricted from developing credit card business because of the machines. "The card is okay, just follow this pattern." "The most important thing is the global clearing system. Can you guarantee that it will not go wrong?" Xia Yu looked at Xu Chongguang and asked carefully. Xu Chongguang''s complexion solemnly promised: "Chairman, please rest assured, the reason why we have not completed the preparation work until now is because we put the most energy on the global clearing system." "In terms of electronic technology, we are not bad. We have already passed the peak test. The inter-bank transaction test of international banks will not belong to the settlement system of Visa and Mastercard. This has been recognized by various banks." "As for multi-currency liquidation, this requires human participation, because it involves the exchange rate of various countries'' currencies, and the exchange rate changes in real time. The system is temporarily unable to simultaneously monitor the exchange rates of various countries." "As for this problem, no country in the world can solve it electronically, and it needs to be handled manually." As Xu Chongguang continued to talk about it, Xia Yu gradually understood the situation of the Global Credit Card International Organization. "The technical aspect is fine." "Have the development plan been done?" Xia Yu changed his focus again. "Yes, Chairman, would you like to go to my office for a cup of tea? I found a development plan for you. The content of the plan is relatively long." Xu Chongguang suggested tentatively. Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Okay, let''s go." After the group came to Xu Chongguang''s office, Xu Chongguang took over the development plan while the employees were making tea, and Xia Yu looked at it without saying a word. According to the development plan formulated by Xu Chongguang. Global Credit Card International is preparing two lines for simultaneous promotion. The first line is to make every effort to promote the Universal Machine, starting with the stores of various companies under the group, spreading it in a large area, and gaining a firm foothold in one step, and then taking the general trend to attract other merchants to join. The second line is to cooperate with the banks in the organization to launch a free card replacement service. Any credit card issued by the bank such as Visa, Mastercard, Gisme Card, etc., can be exempted from all card replacement fees and replaced free of charge. It is a universal card. The two lines go together, forming a virtuous circle. And this is just a development plan in the general direction. There are detailed plans for merchant promotion and bank membership promotion. For example, in the promotion of bank membership, the first batch is undoubtedly that all banks under Xia Yu will join, and then allied banks will join. Here, banks in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and other countries have actually been involved. But the most members are actually banks in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. In Asia, it is actually the shortcomings of international credit card organizations such as Visa and MasterCard. Therefore, the first development focus of Universal Card is to fully capture the Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asian markets so as to gain a firm foothold and also play a role in military training. At the same time, using the special relationship with the mainland, the Universal Card becomes the official credit card supported by the mainland. There are also international inter-bank clearing services. Although there is no focus, the influence will continue to spread. After the first step strategy is completed, the global expansion strategy will be launched. All in all, this development plan is still very detailed, and Xu Chongguang did not let him down. Of course, there are still many shortcomings, mainly because Xu Chongguang''s level is not high enough, and he does not know almost all the strengths of Xia Yu like Huo Jianning. If you don''t understand the resources of the consortium, you can''t maximize the use of resources. However, Xia Yu was not going to say this to Xu Chongguang. He had already made the plan anyway. After he returned, he would just have to ask the various companies to go to the Global Credit Card International Organization. This is the most efficient embodiment. Of course, Xia Yu also knows that the ultimate goal of Universal Credit Card is to fully integrate into the lives of users, so that users can become loyal customers of Universal Card. To achieve this, the best way is to completely bundle the Universal Card with the user''s areas such as "food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and entertainment". UU reading www.uuk£ánshu.com Any consumer scene such as shopping stores, restaurants, buses, subways, taxis, hotels, movie theaters, etc., can have a Universal Airport. As long as it is done well, even if it is not the era of mobile internet, users of Universal Card can enjoy a cashless life decades in advance. "Sogo, your development plan is okay, just follow this plan." "Set a goal for you first." "It''s late April now." "By the end of December in the Gregorian calendar this year, we will strive to achieve the circulation of 10 million Universal Cards!" Xia Yu put down the development plan and set this huge goal for Xu Chongguang with a smile. The goal of ten million sheets was like a big mountain, and his appearance out of thin air made him breathless. However, with Xia Yu''s gaze with expectations, Xu Chongguang gritted his teeth and tried secretly, nodding his head and replied loudly: "Chairman, I will do my best to complete the task!" "Ok!" "Come on!" "I''m waiting for your good news!" "I have something to do, so I''ll leave first." Xia Yu smiled satisfied, got up and patted him on the shoulder, then walked out. "Chairman, I''ll give it to you!" Xu Chongguang hurriedly followed Xia Yu out and sent it all the way downstairs. He only turned back with a heavy face as he watched Xia Yu''s convoy leave. Soon, the entire global credit card international organization will be operating at a high speed. The machine production line commissioned by Jiuding Electric Manufacturing Group to produce machines at full capacity, and various banks have successively received conference invitations. The Global Credit Card International Organization began to develop in great strides. : I¡¯m really sorry, I¡¯m not in good health, I just went to the hospital on Monday, and I have to go to the hospital again on Wednesday v3 Chapter 1416: The root server that suddenly remembered "Chairman, faxed a report from the island country. You may need to make a decision." That morning, when Xia Yu was looking at the newspaper, and when his thinking was divergent, he wanted to further improve the layout of the financial field, Huo Jianning walked in and reported to him. "What''s the matter?" Xia Yu raised his head slightly, looked at Huo Jianning, and asked softly. "It''s about the island country''s oil field, and a big change is about to happen. Matsumoto asked if you want a strong intervention?" Huo Jianning finished speaking quickly and handed the printed materials to Xia Yu. After quickly reviewing the material, Xia Yu knew it. The oil industry in the island countries is indeed undergoing major changes. Because the international crude oil prices plummeted, competition in the island country¡¯s oil industry has become more intense, and various oil companies have fallen into losses. The oil companies backed by the big consortiums are doing well and are more able to resist risks, but the oil companies outside the six big consortia have a harder life. Under such circumstances, Maruzen Oil Company, a subsidiary of the Sanwa Consortium, wants to expand against the trend, and has applied for financial support from Sanwa Bank and other banks, preparing to merge Daxie Petroleum and Asian Petroleum in one fell swoop. Among them, Daxie Petroleum Company ranked seventh among the local oil companies in the island country, backed by Daiwa Bank and Concord Bank. The Asian Petroleum Corporation is already ranked eleventh. As for Maruzen Petroleum Company, it currently ranks third in the island nation, and is in the same position as the East Asia Fuel Company under the Mitsui Consortium. If Maruzen Petroleum Company, Daxie Petroleum Company and Asian Petroleum Company merge, the new oil company will instantly become the largest oil company in the island country, surpassing Idemitsu Kosan Group in which Xia Yu holds 128 shares. Idemitsu Kosan Group¡¯s 128 equity is the dowry given to Sumitomo Kumiko¡¯s dowry last year by the Sumitomo family. "Boom boom" Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the tabletop disorderly, his eyes a little surprised. Huo Jianning knew that the chairman was thinking, so he kept quiet and waited. After a long time. Xia Yu blinked and glanced at the material again. After putting it down, he said to Huo Jianning: "Intervention is definitely necessary, but don''t hurt peace with the Sanhe Consortium." "Mobilize the companies on the island country and find a way to diversify the acquisition of the three oil companies. In the newly established oil companies, we hold as much equity as possible." "Okay, I''ll make arrangements later." Huo Jianning nodded and recorded the content. Xia Yu thought for a moment and continued: "In addition, although there is still room for international crude oil prices to fall, it will not be particularly large." "To mobilize resources to buy the shares of Idemitsu Kosan Group, buy as many as you can buy, but remember not to make things big." "There is still a chance in the future." "Understand!" Huo Jianning said, and continued to write down. "Well, there are only these two points for the time being. If there is nothing else, you can make arrangements first." "Okay, Chairman, then I will go down first." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and once again picked up the daily collected business intelligence he had read before, with a somewhat inexplicable expression. One piece of information involved the Xiangjiang Chen family. This Chen family is the first-class wealthy family in Hong Kong, the Chen family of the Hang Lung Group. Hang Lung Group is one of the former ¡°Five Tigers of Real Estate¡± of Chinese capital. It is as famous as Hujia¡¯s Hopewell Holdings, Li Jiacheng¡¯s Cheung Kong Holdings, Li Zhaoji¡¯s Sun Hung Kai Properties and Zheng Yutong¡¯s New World Development. The founder is Chen Zengxi. Although Xia Yu and Chen Zengxi are a few rounds of age difference, they also know each other, but the relationship is not harmonious. There is no way, the positions of the two sides are different. The Chen family relied on real estate to start their business, and naturally hoped that the Hong Kong real estate industry would prosper and derive more people''s wealth. However, the faction headed by Xia Yu is trying to suppress the real estate market. This position is completely contradictory, and it is only strange if the relationship is good, that is, Xia Yu is too strong, and the Chen family dare not show hostility at all. Of course, Xia Yu is not concerned about the real estate industry. Chen Zengxi also passed away just after the new year. The information above shows the big moves of the new generation of the Chen family. Chen Zengxi¡¯s two sons are both elites. Chen Qizong joined the Hang Lung Group as a director, and his uncle, Chen Zengxi¡¯s younger brother, Chen Zengtao, served as the chairman. Chen Qizong''s younger brother, Chen Yuzong, took the money his father transferred to the Chen Zengxi Foundation and went to the United States to establish Morningside Venture Capital, and he also established a Morningside Venture Capital branch in Xiangjiang. It was the Morningside Venture Capital company that triggered Xia Yu''s reverie. This later generation has invested in capital companies such as Sohu, Ctrip,, Xunlei and Xiaomi Technology! It''s not that Xia Yu wants to invest in Morningside Ventures, because he also knows it''s impossible. But he thought of the loopholes in his layout in this regard. He has an investment company in charge of this area, such as Polaris Capital, which has branches not only in the United States, but also in island countries, Europe, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. For example, in Taiwan Province, Polaris Capital Corporation established a branch at the end of 1980, and also seized the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park and invested in a series of technology companies. Later, the famous Hon Hai Company was awarded 45 by Polaris Capital. Of equity. In Taiwan, dozens of companies such as UMC and Formosa Plastics Corporation have been invested by Polaris Capital. In the face of capital giants from the United States, Taiwan¡¯s domestic capital cannot refuse it at all, and Taiwan¡¯s political arena is unable to stop it, and even welcomes the entry of Polaris Capital. It seems that this will deepen the bond with the United States. Of course, although Polaris Capital has also established a branch in Xiangjiang, because of the special environment of Xiangjiang, Polaris Capital did not conduct venture capital investment in Xiangjiang before, but instead conducted other capital investments and activities. After all, Polaris Capital has not been defined as a venture capital company from the beginning of its establishment, but a capital holding company, and venture capital is just one of the businesses. The reason why Xia Yu thought this time was because he considered the electronics and high-tech industries, one of the six pillars of Xiangjiang, and the various industries in the mainland in the future. He needs a company specializing in venture capital to build a venture capital platform to seize all the opportunities in the future as much as possible! The development of Xiangjiang has been completely changed by him. The development of the mainland has also become different from the previous life because of his existence. At least many processes have been accelerated, there have been fewer detours, and the internal and external environment of development has also improved a lot. . So Xia Yu can be sure that many companies that existed in the previous life will not necessarily exist this time. In this way, the value of his memory will be drastically reduced in the future. Now although he is constantly deploying and engaging in various industries , he can''t eat all the sunrise industries and potential companies, and there will always be fish out of the net. Therefore, he needs a specialized venture capital company to continuously cast the net to catch the fish that slipped through the net! one more. Xiangjiang''s status is the central city of Asia, not only to influence the entire Southeast Asia, but also to deeply influence the mainland. Now that Xiangjiang has determined that electronics and high-tech are one of the six pillar industries, and Xia Yu has continued to deploy in the basic field of the Internet, then the future Internet industry will develop as much as possible! The world financial center is the goal of Xiangjiang, so Xiangjiang is fully qualified to become a world-class venture capital center. The Hong Kong Pearl River Delta is also eligible to be built into the Silicon Valley of the East. The high-quality development of the Hong Kong education industry also requires a steady stream of emerging industries. "Under Jiuding Financial Group, one more first-level subsidiary must be added." "No, Jiuding Financial Group alone is not enough. Eggs cannot be put in one basket." "Jiuzhou Industrial Group also has to establish a separate venture capital company, and the mainland is the bigger future." Whispering a few words softly, Xia Yu picked up a pen to record his thoughts. Jiuding Venture Capital! Kyushu Venture Capital! After writing down the names of the two companies to be registered. Xia Yu stopped writing and thought for a while. The three words Internet were rewritten on paper. Then, he stared at the three words on the Internet, and contemplated again. Suddenly, his eyes condensed and he thought of something extremely important. Then I wrote the four root server without hesitation! "It seems that the environment for development is really lacking, and it''s better to remember." "I just don''t know what''s going on in this regard now, I must check it out immediately" v3 Chapter 1417: Crisis and opportunities in Ukraine The general public is less aware of root servers. Its full name is the root domain name server. This thing is very important to network security and stable operation. It is called the "central nervous system" of the Internet! The first generation of root servers is 4 root servers, there are only 13 in the world, one of which is the primary root server and the other 12 are all secondary root servers. And these thirteen root servers, there are thousands of sub-servers underneath. It''s just that these thirteen root servers are fundamental, equivalent to the parent company of the business group, and the sub-servers are subsidiaries established in various regions for better business development. The parent company of the group decides how to establish the subsidiary, so the key lies in the thirteen root servers. These thirteen root servers manage all domain names in the world. It can be said that as long as one of these root servers ceases to serve, it will cause the Internet in the corresponding area to be paralyzed, and then cause chaos in the global economic and financial order. In later generations, among the 13 root servers, the primary server and nine secondary servers are in the United States, and then there is one each in the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the island countries. As for the mainland? No one! This completely does not match the status of the Internet power in the subsequent generations of the mainland, so that the root server threat theory of the United States was once mentioned. Because the United States holds the power to pull the gate! Although the probability of a military war between China and the United States is almost zero, the lifeline is controlled by others, as if someone is holding a knife on the neck, completely in a passive situation. Fortunately, the United States did not anticipate how broad the Internet will be in the future, so it only set up 13 servers with 4 roots, which miscalculated the situation. So that in 2016, the 4 address exhaustion crisis is about to break out, so the world''s powers have jointly launched the "Snowman Project" to build the second generation of root servers 6, and there are 25 in total. At that time, because the mainland became more powerful, it grabbed a primary root server and three secondary root servers, breaking the predicament of not having a root server and solving the threat. But at that time, compared to now, it was already thirty years later! For now, considering the development of the Internet in Asia, a single root server in an island country is not enough! If you want the mainland to deploy a root server, the United States, as the country that invented the Internet, will most likely not agree. But Xiangjiang is different from the mainland. Most importantly, Xia Yu needs a root server to stabilize Xiangjiang''s position and influence in the Internet industry. Therefore, Xia Yu immediately ordered someone to investigate the situation of the root server. Three days later, the complete root server situation was delivered to him. The status quo, deviated from the memory of Xia Yu''s later generations, but it made him happy. The survey shows that there are only four root servers in the world, one primary root server and three secondary root servers. The first main root server was established in 1984 at the Institute of Information Science, University of Southern California, at 100052. The second auxiliary root server was also established in 1984, also at the Institute of Information Science, University of Southern California. Then in 1985, last year, two auxiliary root servers were established, located in the Stanford International Research Institute and the Ballistic Research Laboratory of the United States! In March of this year, the secondary root server of the Institute of Information Science at the University of Southern California was deactivated and replaced by another secondary root server with the domain name. For the root server, although it is used for military purposes, it is also used for academic research and civilian purposes. The two paths go together. The survey shows that although the United States invented the Internet, the importance of root servers has not been raised to the highest level, and the International Internet Standards Organization does not have a complete and unified plan. Still in the stage of groping across the river. The think tank responsible for the investigation and collection of the United States analyzed that although the United States has not authorized foreign countries to establish root servers, as long as the international Internet standards organization can be established, the reason is that the internationalization of Internet standards is still possible! Seeing this analysis, Xia Yu''s heart was quite settled. But no matter what, he has to try his best, and he can''t give up if there is a glimmer of hope! After the decision, he immediately called a think tank to further study and judge. Two days later. The Institute of Information Science of Jiuding University sent a team to board the plane and fly to the United States. This is just a team on the bright side. Secretly, Xia Yu also mobilized the resources of the consortium to clear the relationship. Just when the plane arrived in the United States, a global sensation happened! At 1:23 a.m. on April 26, the No. 4 reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded. The radiation dose released by this explosion was more than 400 times that of the peace bombs dropped on the island nation during World War II! Moreover, because the protective layer of the nuclear power plant is only made of one layer, the radiation dust produced by the explosion is directly dispersed into the atmosphere, and it has begun to spread to the western, eastern and northern regions of Hongsu, which can no longer be stopped! The explosion caused a huge blow to Hongsu''s prestige. Not only was Hongsu panicked, European countries also jumped anxiously. Although the United States and the mainland will not be affected, as the two countries with peace bombs, they have to pay close attention. When it comes to Hongsu, one of the two hegemons, any major event must be taken seriously. What''s more, this kind of thing involves a nuclear crisis? For a time, governments around the world were involved in the time of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion, and many relatively unimportant tasks were put aside for the first time. And Xia Yu also immediately ordered Ma Qianjun to let Luo Wang investigate the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion on the Red Soviet Union. On the same day, the major newspapers and TV stations under Xia Yu reported on the incident. The spread of Global Satellite TV has attracted a lot of attention in Southeast Asia. When Xia Yu returned home, she saw that Elena was looking sad, and the other women seemed to comfort her. Xia Yu hurriedly put down his clothes, walked over quickly, and asked with concern. "Elena, what''s the matter with you?" Sandy rushed to answer for Elena: "My dear, sister Elena read the news just now and was worried that the radioactive dust would spread to the UK, and no one answered the phone when she called home just now." Xia Yu knew it, looked at Elena, and Elena nodded as expected. Xia Yuchao smiled and shook his head, squeezed next to Elena, hugged her lightly, and comforted: "Elena, don''t worry, the news only said that it might affect the whole of Europe, but this is only possible." "In fact, I estimate that it will affect half of Europe at most." "Britain is so far away from Ukraine, it''s safe, don''t worry." "Even if there is a certain impact when the time comes, let your father and the others come to live in Xiangjiang for a period of time." "Yes, UU reading Elena, my husband must be right." Sumitomo Kumiko grabbed Elena''s hand and comforted softly. "Yes" Several other women were also comforted. Elena''s face improved, and she nodded slightly: "Well, thank you everyone." "Let''s go to the table, it''s dinner." Xia Yu said, carefully walking towards the dining table with his wives. Luo Wang has been in Hongsu for a year. With no shortage of funds, the net also opened up the situation. If you talk about the degree of understanding of Hongsu, it is definitely much higher than Xia Yu''s think tank. In the next month, the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion did not disappear, because Hongsu¡¯s investigation results have not yet come out, but radiation hazards have been continuously exposed, and deaths have been exposed in various places. . In this month, Luo Wang continuously fed back various situations in the Red Soviet Union. The most noteworthy point is that there is a huge change. With the outbreak of the Chernobyl incident, the contradictions within the Red-Soviet Alliance began to turn from secret to face-to-face. In particular, Belarus, which does not have any nuclear facilities, has been affected to the greatest extent due to wind direction problems. The tens of millions of people in Belarus have great grievances, but the Red-Soviet Alliance''s handling of the aftermath is not satisfactory. If Gorbachev came to power, it was the first foreshadowing of the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union. Then the Chernobyl incident was the second assist. Of course, no one except Xia Yu would have expected the disintegration of the Red Soviet Society. But Xia Yu wanted to use this opportunity to do something. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located in Ukraine. This time a super-large accident occurred, and Ukraine will inevitably shake the country. It''s a perfect time to enter at this time! v3 Chapter 1418: Ukraine full of infinite possibilities If the polar bear is Hongsu¡¯s largest franchise country. Then Ukraine is the second-largest franchise country deservedly. This is true whether it is in terms of territory or population! Of course, in fact, most of what Ukraine now has can be said to be given by polar bears. So much so that later generations of polar bears would say that Ukraine cannot be called a country, and everything is given by polar bears. Thousands of years ago, it was said that Ukraine, polar bears and Belarus all originated in the Duchy of Russia, and now the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, is the birthplace of the Duchy of Russia. The polar bear is the will and cultural successor of the Rus Principality for thousands of years, and it is the main line! For hundreds of years, Ukraine¡¯s traditional territory has been the eastern and central regions. As for the western region, it originally belonged to the country of Poland. It was only in 1939 that the Red Soviet''s Staszow wiped out Poland, separated the eastern part of Poland, and incorporated it into Ukraine. During the period of Khlukov, the Crimea Plain, which was originally the territory of the polar bear, was directly assigned to Ukraine through administrative means. This series of changes has led to the territory of Ukraine. In addition to its territory, the key to Ukraine being the second largest member of the Red Soviet Union lies in its strong military power, which benefits from the military layout of the Red Soviet Union. Ukraine is the Red Soviet Union in the west, a strategic fortress to defend Europe. Ukraine has a population of 50 million people, and the labor force between the ages of 14 and 65 is about 33 million. But now Ukraine has more than 3,600 military-industrial enterprises, of which more than 3 million employees are employed, accounting for one-eleventh of the labor force! This is a few extremely terrifying ratios! In terms of military strength, Ukraine¡¯s Dnepropetrovsk, the hometown of Brezhnev, the leader of the Red Soviet Union for 18 years, is the steel and military center of the Red Soviet Union. It has the southern design of the Red Soviet Union. Bureau. Hongsu¡¯s first guided missile, first launch vehicle, and first spacecraft were all developed by the Southern Design Bureau, and later produced more than half of the intercontinental ballistic missiles and several types of carriers for Hongsu. rocket. For example, Hongsu¡¯s 18 heavy intercontinental ballistic missile, the world¡¯s most powerful missile, can carry 10 550,000-ton split-guide nuclear warheads and more than 40 decoys, and is dubbed "Satan" by NATO. The similar China Dongfeng 41 intercontinental strategic missile did not make its appearance until 2019. However, Hongsu¡¯s 18 heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles began to equip troops for combat missions in 1979. In addition to owning one-third of Hongsu¡¯s aerospace industry, Ukraine has the world¡¯s largest aircraft. Ukraine also owns 30% of Hongsu¡¯s shipyard and undertakes 25% of Hongsu¡¯s warship production tasks. The only aircraft carrier assembly plant, Black Sea Shipyard, is also in Nikolaev, Ukraine. In terms of armored vehicles, the production capacity of tanks and armored vehicles in Ukraine also accounts for 30% of the entire Red Soviet Union. There are more than 1,300 nuclear warheads deployed in Ukraine alone! A series of domineering titles such as "Satan" Maker, Sky Giant, "Power Tsar", Aircraft Carrier Maker, and Strong "Fortress" all belong to Ukraine. This shows that the military strength of Ukraine is strong, It''s just a pity that Ukraine and the polar bear, two fraternal countries that are also Slavic origins, will eventually be the same in the future. The most important reason is that Ukraine was limped by the West and completely turned to the West, so that it has made a series of policies that seem to be absurd to outsiders. For example, what Ukrainian soldiers must be able to speak English, and also set standards, what military rank Ukrainian soldiers should reach, and what level of English correspondence should be. For example, Ukraine has hired a large number of US military advisers and handed over all military codes, textbooks, and courses to the US military advisers for compilation. This is properly the level of kneeling and licking, but the level of kneeling and licking king! Of course, it was precisely because of the series of actions taken by Ukraine after the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union that Xia Yu deeply realized that the possibility of infiltrating Ukraine is infinite. You know, after the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union, Ukraine is the third military power in the world, second only to the United States and the polar bear. If Ukraine is not allowed to abolish martial arts by itself and Xia Yu¡¯s power succeeds in gaining a foothold in Ukraine, then it is absolutely possible to rely on Ukraine¡¯s deterrent power to deter the entire Europe and Middle East. If you really want to achieve that step, then Xia Yu can feel confident and walk horizontally across the world! "Boss, I''m back." "Uncle, there is no outsider here, just call me by name." This afternoon, Xia Yu was drinking tea in a pavilion by the fish pond and feeding the koi in the pond by the way. His elder brother Ma Qianjun came from not far away. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Ma Qianjun did not fluctuate, and said blankly: "The rules cannot be overstepped." Sure enough, it was the same. Xia Yu shook his head and chuckled, then said slowly. "In more than a month, you will become an uncle. It is better to smile more, lest your nephew is afraid of you, uncle." "Also, you are not too young anymore. After so many years, it''s time to get married." "I know what you are thinking about, let someone hand over Sun Qing''s work. After Xiqian gave birth, she didn''t even bother to manage Jiuding Charity Fund Let Sun Qing be the deputy manager of the fund. Yes, I will help Cici in the future." Ma Qianjun finally couldn''t stretch it anymore. He looked at Xia Yu with a complex expression. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay." Xia Yu showed a knowing smile and told Ma Qianjun: "You can talk to Cici later." Ma Qianjun felt a little uncomfortable, but did not refuse and accepted Xia Yu''s kindness. Sun Qing mentioned by Xia Yu has always been in love with Ma Qianjun, and even followed him early. During the mercenary period, Sun Qing was code-named "Green Snake" and was the only female member of the team. After that, he followed Ma Qianjun and was incorporated by Xia Yu, and now also holds important positions in the net. It''s a pity that although Ma Qianjun is very decisive and calm in handling his work, he lacks a rib in his feelings and is not a man enough. So much so that Sun Qing waited from her twenties to her thirties. The reason why Xia Yu took the initiative to intervene today was actually because Sun Qing couldn''t help it. He secretly found Li Qian once, and then Li Qian told Xia Yu about it by the pillow, and this is what happened now. It''s just that there is no need to tell Ma Qianjun about these things. Sun Qing was transferred out of the net. I believe that in the near future, Ma Qianjun and Sun Qing will surely have lovers who will eventually become married, and everything will naturally be clear by then. As long as Ma Qianjun is willing to start a family, then the two can be more harmonious, and Xia Yu is more at ease about the net. After a few gossips. Xia Yu asked actively: "I arranged an investigation about Ukraine last time, how did it go?" "All in here?" When speaking, Xia Yu focused on the swollen confidential document bag in Ma Qianjun''s hand. ps: A monthly pass has been opened in the comment area. Brothers who have a monthly pass don¡¯t waste it. You can make a little money. v3 Chapter 1419: Caucasus Club "Yes it is." "The relevant information that can be investigated is here, and it has been refined." After Ma Qianjun finished speaking, he handed the document bag to Xia Yu. Opened the bag and looked at it, and found that there were a lot of files inside, which could not be read in a short while, Xia Yu dismissed the idea of ??looking at it now. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I''ll take a look in the past two days." "During this time, don''t leave Xiangjiang for now, just arrange to do it below if you have something to do." Ma Qianjun nodded, and replied ably, "Okay." Afterwards, Ma Qianjun simply drank a cup of tea and chose to leave. He had such a temper, sitting with Xia Yu, most of the time, apart from talking about work, he would not actively look for topics. Instead, he would be uncomfortable while sitting. Xia Yu did not force him to stay. After watching him leave, after drinking the tea in the cup, he poured the remaining fish food in the small basket into the pond, then took the paper bag and returned to the house. The situation in Ukraine is indeed very complicated. This is related to Ukraine¡¯s own history, culture, and political traditions, as well as the Red Soviet Union. Many factors are intertwined, and it is difficult to think about it without complexity. This also makes it very difficult to collect and integrate intelligence. However, with the ability to draw the net, it is still clearer to investigate the intricate situation. In terms of not being promoted to the Red Soviet Union, Ukrainian politics has always been two major factions, namely the eastern faction and the western faction. The reason is that the east and west of Ukraine are very different in terms of historical fortunes, cultural heritage, political traditions, and especially economic foundations. In eastern Ukraine, the military center Dnepropetrovsk is the center of political power. In western Ukraine, the political center is Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Although Kiev is the capital of Ukraine, it is quite normal that the eastern political forces cannot be ordered. The reason for this is related to the fact that the political group of Dnepropetrovsk in eastern Ukraine has become a towering tree for decades, and it is also related to the city''s positioning. The influence of Dnepropetrovsk political groups is not only in Ukraine, but can dominate the entire Red Soviet Union, which can be called one of the two poles of political power in the Red Soviet Union. The two poles are the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang" and the "St. Petersburg Gang". The "Dnepropetrovsk Gang" is a nickname of the people, and it is also called the "Brezhnev Gang". This political group was created by Brezhnev, the fourth leader of the Red Soviet Union, who reigned from 1964 to 1982, a total of 18 years. The term of office is second only to Star Shu. It''s not that he didn''t want to work longer, but because he died of a heart attack, otherwise eighteen years would definitely not be his limit. He is from Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. After taking office, he took good care of his hometown. The Central Secretariat, the Council of Ministers, and other important departments all have his fellow villagers hold important positions. Even now Ukraine¡¯s state leaders always make people think that they will become their successors, but it is a pity that Brezhnev died suddenly, so this opportunity can only be a dream. After Brezhnev¡¯s death, the St. Petersburg Gang, who had waited for eighteen years to seize power, carried forward the fine traditions of Stashu, Khrushev and Brezhnev, and made a major cleansing within the Red Soviet Union. St. Petersburg Gang. The power of the St. Petersburg gang continued until Xia Yu was reborn. Even though Hongsu had long ceased to exist at that time, the polar bears were still dominated by the St. Petersburg gang. Having said that, because of the sudden death of Brezhnev and the violent suppression of the St. Petersburg gang. The influence of the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang" with Brezhnev as its absolute core can only continue to decline. Although the embarrassing situation of a group of dragons without a leader will not appear, Ukraine''s top leader Vladimir Shelbytsky can''t suppress everyone. One reason is that Vladimir Shelbytsky is sixty-eight years old, and the other reason is that there is still a similar level to him. After the St. Petersburg Gang came to power, it also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the influence of the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang" as much as possible, except for working in the upper echelons of the Red Soviet Union. Also engage in small moves in Ukraine. For example, in Ukraine, we want to support the Kiev political groups in the west to divide the influence of the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang" in Ukraine. Among them, the current Ukrainian propaganda leader and state party leader Leonid Makarovic is a typical example, and he is currently ranked third in Ukraine. For this person, Xia Yu knew very well that it was the first president of Ukraine who had signed the Belovezh agreement that truly represented the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union. For Xia Yu, this guy is definitely worthy of investment, even if he does not belong to the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang." Although Leonid Makarovic is supported by the top of the Red Soviet Union, he has no experience in the ruling party, so that after becoming the first president of Ukraine, he did not give Ukraine a "buffer period" to force the market. In the economy, new currencies were issued, and foreign trade was the main push, so that serious inflation occurred. Moreover, in terms of selling national assets, although he does not sell it hard for the next term, he is also doing it. Xia Yu believed that as long as the chips were given, Leonid Makarovic would definitely dare to sell. And after all, he belongs to a political organization in Kiev. Even if he becomes the president of Ukraine, he may not be able to control the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang" in eastern Ukraine. Let¡¯s talk about the Ukrainian business community. After all, Ukraine still belongs to the Red Soviet Union. Even if the extravagance prevails in the Red Soviet Union, it is still not the turn of capital to emerge. The famous capital oligarchs of later generations have not yet appeared. In other words, in fact, all the capital oligarchs are either relatives of political tycoons or partners of political tycoons. Hongsu hasn''t disintegrated yet, and it''s not their turn to do whatever they want, and they all need restraint! The investigation of the rectification situation in Ukraine has become clear. In the document, there are also information about various important political figures. Especially the Southern Design Bureau and the "Dnepropetrovsk Gang"! All important figures in this political group have information in their bags. These people either hold important positions now, or are still young and strong, and the future is full of bright. But among these people, Xia Yu was eyeing one person. A character who is not particularly conspicuous for the time being! A Leonid Danilovich Kumach, born in 1938, is currently the deputy chief engineer of the Red Su South Design Bureau. Although in his capacity, he is more like a technical manager and scientist, but Xia Yu knows that this person will go smoothly in the future. He will not only be valued by Gorbachev, he will become the chief engineer of the Southern Design Bureau, and he will also be the chief engineer of the Southern Design Bureau. Will become the second president of Ukraine, and will continue to work until 2005. The ten years he was in power were exactly the ten years when the Ukrainian oligarchs collectively rose, and he also opened the curtain of privatization in Ukraine. Of course, even if he has not succeeded in coming to power, but with his current status as the deputy chief engineer of the Southern Design Bureau and the chief engineer of the Southern Design Bureau, the infinitely valuable Southern Design Bureau will be in charge of him. If Xia Yu wants missiles, spacecraft, airplanes, machine tools, etc., they must pass him. Only through him is the safest and most secure. Not much to say. Xia Yu directly pulled out his file and marked him with a number. As for the number mark, it goes without saying that it belongs to Leonid Makarovich, now the number three figure in Ukraine and the future first president. Later, Xia Yu combined the memories of his later generations to rank these characters one after another. If there are omissions, Xia Yu will write the name of the person on another piece of paper based on his memory, and let Luo Wang investigate and verify it later. Xia Yu spent a full two days to make the relevant strategic layout. Later, Xia Yu called Ma Qianjun again, let Luo Wang take the lead, and selected a few suitable agents to set up a club, the Caucasus Club, within Hongsu. The Caucasus Mountains have always been a battleground for military strategists, and for Hongsu, it is equally important. In its name, you can definitely hear it once and get deeply rooted in people''s hearts, and it gives people enough room for reverie. The goal of the Caucasus club is surprisingly the "like-minded" or possibly "like-minded" bigwigs within Hongsu. As long as the platform is built, the Caucasus club will be eligible to become a shadow meeting of the Red Soviet Union or various countries after the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union. For this platform, Xia Yu placed extremely high expectations. In the future, how much meat and power can be obtained from the Red Su, depends on how strong this Caucasian club is! : There is a monthly pass in the comment area, with a starting currency of 300 yuan. Don''t miss it. v3 Chapter 1420: Xias eldest son was born Entering May, the actions of the wives at home have become more difficult. Especially Li Qian, who became pregnant first, has been pregnant for nine months and is likely to give birth at any time. So Xia Yu spends most of his time in the family and rarely pays attention to career matters. For many things, they only understood and briefly told, and the rest was left to Huo Jianning to execute. Of course, this May, there are still many results. For example, at the Lamma Island Petrochemical Base, the second phase of the Pacific Oil Company¡¯s refinery was officially put into operation, which marked that the annual oil refining capacity of the Pacific Oil Company has increased to 6 million tons. Another example is Polaris Capital, which invested US$2 million and obtained equity in Qualcomm 35, which was just established last year. At the same time, Polaris Capital once again invested three million US dollars in Cisco, which had just developed its first product, for market promotion, raising its shareholding ratio in Cisco to a height of 427. There is also the layout of the island country¡¯s oil industry. Through the secret purchase of the shares of Dakyo Oil Company, Maruzen Oil Company and Asian Petroleum Company, after the merger of the three oil companies, a total of 147 shares of Cosmo Oil Company, the largest oil company in the island country, was held. As for the original island nation¡¯s largest oil company Idemitsu Kosan Group, it also took the opportunity to buy bottoms and cost 94 billion yen to increase its shareholding ratio from 128 to 239. The heartstrings of May passed so plainly. Just stepping into June, it gave Xia Yu an excitement. June 1st, International Children¡¯s Day. Li Qian, who was waiting for delivery in Fuford Hospital, suddenly broke her amniotic fluid and was sent to a special delivery room for the first time. Later, Xia Yu''s family, as well as his elder brother Ma Qianjun, all gathered outside the delivery room and waited. His wife Li Qian is about to give birth, and she will usher in her first child in the past and this life. Even if Xia Yu was able to calmly face the stormy sea in the mall, his mood was still broken at this moment. From his tight and loose fists, as well as his frequent glances at the delivery room, he can see his mood at this time. Elena, who was also pregnant with a big belly, was about to be pregnant for nine months, but when the sister gave birth, she did not stay in the special care unit, but came outside the delivery room together. Seeing Xia Yu''s nervousness, Elena touched her stomach, showing a knowing smile, and then gently shook Xia Yu''s hand, and gently comforted: "My dear, don''t worry, Cici My sister will be safe for mother and child. The doctor has made the most rigorous judgment before and there is no risk." "Husband, Sister Elena is right, don''t worry too much." "When you are nervous, everyone will be nervous." Sandy, who also had a big belly, said softly, holding Xia Yu''s arm on the other side. Xia Yu recovered, took a deep breath and let out a long breath, and looked at the wives and family around him. "Elena, Sandy, don''t stand up. You''re too tired. Come on, sit on the chairs." Xia Yu showed a petting smile, said to let his wives sit by, and then said to his parents who were walking back and forth. "Parents, sit down too, don''t stand." "If you keep walking around, everyone will be more nervous." After hearing this, Xia Dahai and Chen Mei looked at each other, nodded and sat down. It''s just that from the action of her mother Chen Mei''s fingers tightening the corners of her clothes, she is still very nervous. Fortunately. This Hong Kong Ford Hospital, built by Xia Yu at a cost of one billion Hong Kong dollars, is the best hospital in Hong Kong. Whether it is medical equipment or medical staff, it is the best. At the level of Xiangjiang Ford Hospital, even if it is placed in Asia, it can be regarded as a top-tier hospital, even if it has only been in operation for less than a year! After all, money is really omnipotent in this regard, there is no medical equipment that can''t be bought, and there is no top doctor who can''t dig! It takes a long time to give birth. After waiting for a long time outside, Xia Yu found that Elena and the others were already unwell, so he immediately sent them back to the intensive care unit with the medical staff. After that, he returned to the door of the delivery room and continued to wait. At this time, he only felt that every minute and every second was so long, it was completely like a year. Finally, two hours passed. The light in the delivery room rang with a "puff" and then turned green. Xia Yu, who had been sitting, suddenly got up and walked quickly to the door of the delivery room. Xia''s father, Xia''s mother, and his uncle Ma Qianjun all gathered around. Soon, a doctor walked out first and respectfully said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, Mrs. Gui gave birth successfully and gave birth to a son who weighed 7 catties and 2 taels, very healthy." "The lady is still observing inside, and she will have to wait two hours before she comes out." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two nurses behind him, one of whom was holding a baby in his arms. Everyone present showed an excited smile upon hearing this, even Ma Qianjun, who was paralyzed, also showed a knowing smile. He really is a son, okay! "Come, give me a hug!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, with a feeling of excitement, he carefully took his son from the nurse and looked at him dozingly. The skin of the newborn child was still wrinkled, but Xia Yu didn''t dislike it at all, on the contrary, he felt so cute. At this moment, the soul of his whole person was sublimated, as if he had an unprecedented fit with this era. "Little Treasure is so cute, A Yu, exactly the same as when you were a kid." Xia''s mother Chen Mei approached carefully, looking at the baby in Xia Yu''s arms with some moist eyes, and said with some choking. But from her completely disagreeable smile, we can see how happy Chen Mei is. "Come on, Little Treasure, let grandma hug you." Chen Mei said, carefully taking the child from Xia Yu. "Mr. Xia, this is the time when the baby was born has been noted down." "Doctor, thanks for your hard work, be careful, and hope to accept it." Xia Yu calmed down a bit, took the note from the doctor that recorded the birth time, and then took several red envelopes with bank cards from Huo Jianning''s hands and stuffed them into the hands of the doctor and nurse one by one. In each of these red envelopes, 666666 Hong Kong dollars was deposited in the bank card, and the password was written on the card. "Thank you Mr. Xia, I wish your son a healthy growth!" The doctors and nurses hurriedly congratulated with smiles. "What''s the specific situation of my wife?" At this time, Xia Yu asked the doctor about his wife Li Qian. Although the doctor said it was okay when he first came out, he still wanted to know the details. "Mr. Xia, everything is normal for your wife during the delivery process, but now people are more tired." "Please rest assured, wait for two hours of observation inside, after the risk is eliminated, it will be sent out as soon as possible." The doctor hurriedly talked to Xia Yu about the situation. "That''s good." Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, showing a knowing smile. "Mr. Xia, it''s been a long time, and the baby needs to be taken in to have a drink first, and it will be launched with your lady later." "it is good." After Xia Yu agreed, the mother Chen Mei reluctantly handed the baby back to the nurse, and then watched the nurse put the baby in again. "Mom, relax, the baby will come out again later." "Ok!" "A Yu, let me see when Xiaobao was born. You have to show your master as soon as possible how Xiaobao''s birthdate is." "it is good!" : Xia Yu finally has a son. What is the name? Everyone can come up with ideas. Also at the end of the month, brothers, don¡¯t let the monthly pass expire, thank you ~: Still writing the speech Tomorrow June 30, the day after tomorrow will be July 1 , Otherwise it is easy to be ashamed tomorrow. So don¡¯t wait tonight, rest early, good night everyone ~: Update tomorrow I was caught off guard by work, and the workload completely exceeded the load. I didn''t expect all kinds of work to emerge in an endless stream. The change of office just finished hitting July, and July was more than July 1, and then b exploded. In the past few days, working hours have been pushed directly to more than 7 o¡¯clock in the morning, and even in the early morning at night, I will also be exploited at noon. It¡¯s really a collective overtime. Let me add another shift tonight. I will sort out the work first and resume the update tomorrow. . Sorry, please forgive me v3 Chapter 1421: Childrens names The child was born smoothly, still a boy, and Li Qian was born without accident. All these are too good news. At this time, the mentality of the people outside the delivery room was completely different from before. That feeling of timelessness has disappeared without a trace. Two hours passed in a flash. After Li Qian''s observation was over, everything was normal, and then she was pushed out. "Cici, thank you very much!" At the moment Li Qian came out, Xia Yu quickly stepped forward, possessed and stroked her pale face, feeling distressed. But Li Qian showed a happy smile and looked at her son who was lying on the side. "A Yu, I don''t work hard, this is our child, do you like it?" "I like it, I like it very much!" Xia Yu nodded heavily, his eyes full of tenderness. The smile on Li Qian''s face grew brighter. "Siqian, thanks for your hard work, is there any physical discomfort?" At this time, Xia Mu Chen Mei also asked with concern. "Mom, I don''t work hard, the baby is born, everything is worth it." After Li Qian was pushed back to the intensive care unit. Elena, Sandy and others all came over with their big bellies, and with the nurses accompanying everyone, there were even more of them. Fortunately, the intensive care unit is large enough, otherwise it would really not be able to accommodate more than a dozen people. However, considering that Li Qianshun had consumed a huge amount of physical energy, she must be very exhausted at this time, so everyone stayed for ten minutes and left one after another, leaving Xia Yu and the necessary medical staff inside. After all, there are people coming and going in the hospital, even if Xia Yu has taken measures in advance, it can''t stop patients from coming to see the doctor. There are many people, and every time he travels, he has a big battlefield. Even if he rarely appears in the media, there are always people who can recognize him. The news of Li Qian''s production naturally leaked out. In this way, many media reporters gathered outside the Ford Hospital, wanting to get the latest situation and get big sales after reporting. But this annoyed Xia Yu. He directly ordered to register every media present, warn the boss behind him, and then drove all reporters away. Neither he nor his family need exposure, especially his children. The superior growth environment does not require any public media exposure. After he ordered the warning, Xiangjiang Ford Hospital turned into a news black hole, and no media dared to come. As for the original manuscripts written by these reporters, they have all been destroyed, and no media dared to report it. But they couldn''t say it publicly, but they couldn''t stop others from chatting. So soon, the big guys in Xiangjiang got the news, and they called to congratulate Xia Yu, and made an appointment in advance to attend the children''s full moon banquet. For these requests with blessings, Xia Yu could only respond with a smile. Although media exposure is not allowed, according to custom, the full moon banquet is still to be held, and it does not matter if you should take it in advance. In the next two days, in addition to accompanying his wives, Xia Yu also discussed with Master Li Chunqiu for a long time. There was only one core content of the discussion and research, and that was the child''s name. Combined with the birth date of the child, Xia Yu finally named his first son Qichen! The Qi character was a mandatory character set by Xia Yu for his sons, and it did not follow the order of characters on the mainland''s genealogy. According to the tradition of Xia Village on the mainland, the character generation is the first character of the name, so that the generation is clear at a glance. Although Xia Yu has renewed his genealogy, he did not change his name, including his father Xia Dahai. Therefore, the order of characters has actually been broken by father Xia Dahai. Recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors means recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, but in fact Xia Yu is already an independent team. Although there are few people, it is definitely the strongest Xia family in the world. When he returns to his ancestral land, he will recognize him by generation, but he doesn''t need to follow the character generation when he named his son. The word "qi" for his son contained Xia Yu''s strong expectations for his son. The meaning of the word "Æô" is very rich. Qi Huangong merged with the country for thirty and opened three thousand li. Han Feizi had a degree of enlightenment to art Su Shu. In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ji''s sincerity and Liu Wencheng''s official essays, Qi Zi means "to create". There are also the meanings of starting the soil, setting up, starting the industry, and so on. After all, Xia Yu hopes that his sons will not stand still, even if the Xia family is already powerful, they must have the will to forge ahead. "Blue is better than blue" is his expectation of his son. As for the first son to take another word "chen", Xia Yu had more expectations for the eldest son. Jia Kui said the room''s master. Later generations called the Emperor Ju Yue Chen. Emperor Zengyun lived in Beichen Palace, so Conglu Congchen. Chen is the residence of the North Star, which refers to the residence of the emperor. In ancient times, it was extended to the throne or emperor. The weight of this name is not heavy! In the cultural heritage of China, it is emphasized that the eldest son is born with more advantages. One more thing, Xia Yu also considered that among his many wives, only Li Qian was of pure Yanhuang blood, so he even hoped that Li Qian¡¯s son was his most outstanding one. Of course, the children of Elena, Sandy and others are also his, and he will not be partial. Regardless of whose son it is, the Huaxia culture is fundamental. After all, the Huaxia nation is not black hair and yellow skin at all, but Huaxia culture flowing in the blood. No matter what, the one who will be in charge of the family in the future will only be the one with the strongest ability. He is still young and has enough time to train his children. Coincidentally, last year, the interval between the five wives'' pregnancy was less than forty days. The first pregnant Li Qian gave birth to a child, and several other wives were about to give birth. On June 18, Elena gave birth to a son, and Xia Yu named him Xia Qizhe. Although Elena is British, she has black hair like Xia Yu. The son born to UU Reading is also black. The most important thing is that even her eyes are black, inheriting Xia Yu''s traits. On June 25, Sandi gave birth to a son with black hair and blue eyes. Xia Yu named him Xia Qirui. Three grandsons were ushered in within a month, so that Xia''s father and Xia''s mother couldn''t close their mouths with a smile, and they could wake up with a smile when they slept. In early July, Xia Yu added two more daughters. The boy takes the word "Qi" in order to hope his son can forge ahead and create a new foundation. For her daughters, Xia Yu took the word "thinking", hoping that they would be quick-witted, eloquent, and talented. On July 2, He Wei Xia Yu gave birth to a daughter, and Xia Yu named her Xia Siqiong. The word Qiong has a very good meaning, and He¡¯s name also carries the word Qiong, "Siqiong" literally means "Missing Chaoqiong". His daughter took such a name, so He liked it very much, and even the loss of giving birth to a daughter for Xia Yu disappeared a lot. On July 7, Sumitomo Kumiko gave birth to Xia Yu''s daughter, and Xia Yu named it Xia Siqi. Qi Chen, Qi Zhe, Qi Rui, Si Qiong, Si Qi. In more than a month, the Xia family has added five family members, and the changes are still great. Although there are many more children''s crying in the house, sometimes they even cry in polyphony. But in the same way, there are a lot more laughter at home. With a child, Xia Yu''s somewhat relaxed heart is once again full of inexhaustible motivation. Someone has a successor, he who is a dad must continue to work hard! : I would like to apologize to everyone. I was really too busy at work the other day. In fact, our entire county is in this situation these days. My classmates are worse than me. I can still sleep for five or six hours a day. My classmate is 48. I sleep more a day than hours. v3 Chapter 1422: Be the ship king behind the scenes "Hehe, Huaguang Shipping is suspended!" Early that morning, Xia Yu received the latest news from the following newspaper, but was not surprised. Huaguang Shipping Company is currently the third largest shipping company in Hong Kong, second only to Orient Overseas Shipping Company and Wheelock Shipping Company. The current chairman and president is Zhao Congyan, the head of the Zhao family. In the 1970s, Zhao Congyan, Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun, and Cao Wenjin were called the "Four Big Ship Kings" of Xiangjiang. But then Bao Yu just abandoned the ship and went ashore, leaving three of the four Chinese ship kings. In addition to the main business Huaguang Shipping Company, the Zhao family also has another secondary core Far East Real Estate Company, which is the predecessor of the later Shi Zhuoneng Real Estate Company. Only because Xia Yu strongly suppressed the housing price of Xiangjiang, the real estate market of Xiangjiang can only rely on commercial real estate to develop, so the development of Far East Real Estate can only be regarded as good, not excellent. After all, in Xiangjiang, Hong Kong, if you want to make more profits in commercial real estate, you must be able to build a mature and prosperous business district. If you don''t have this ability, you can only go to other people''s business districts, then the development cost of commercial real estate will inevitably be extremely high. However, if you want to build a mature and prosperous business district, it is extremely necessary to integrate all kinds of resources in the society, and to invite all kinds of businesses with high traffic to settle in. In Xiangjiang, Xia Yu has the most of these resources. "Liabilities exceed HK$100 million, assets are HK$9.7 billion, and the market value has dropped to HK$9.6 billion. Trading has now been suspended." "The debt ratio has reached 856. Although there is still a certain distance from bankruptcy, but the capital chain is broken, Zhao Congyan''s rescue is very difficult." "The performance debt that is due soon is 11.7 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now there is definitely no bank that dares to transfer loans to him." Thinking of this, Xia Yu picked up his mobile phone and gave Huo Jianning a call, asking him to arrange for Wheelock Shipping Company to increase the acquisition of Huaguang Shipping Company in the bargaining operation of the shipping market. Although Huaguang Shipping Company''s total assets are now only 9.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is now the lowest time for ship prices. When it comes out of this trough, the total assets of Huaguang Shipping Company will naturally not be as simple as 9.7 billion Hong Kong dollars. The current price of second-hand freighters is only one-fifth of the selling price of new freighters of the same size before the outbreak of the shipping crisis six or seven years ago! As long as the global shipping market goes out of the trough, it will be easy for Huaguang Shipping Company''s total assets to rise to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the debt ratio can drop below 50 all at once. With this debt ratio, Huaguang Shipping Co., Ltd. will be a high-quality shipping company by then. Of course, the premise is that after Wheelock Shipping Company acquires Huaguang Shipping Company, it will keep this company alone instead of merging. But in any case, bargain-hunting at this time, make sure to make a profit without losing it! In July, heavy news continued to spread in the global shipping market. The first is the island country. The world''s largest shipping company Sanko Steamship Group, which began bankruptcy and reorganization the year before last. Because of its relatively large scale, extremely high debt, and the shipping market has been sluggish, it is difficult to find investors to take over after Sanguang Steamship Group has begun bankruptcy and reorganization. Even if some investors are found, they are all relatively small and unable to support the completion of the reorganization of Sanguang Steamboat Group. As a result, Sanguang Steamboat Group can only slow down the pace of restructuring, while restructuring, while actively looking for investors. But this time, the Sanko Steamboat Group has won the support of a large number of companies, including Nomura Securities Co., the king of the island nation''s securities firm, Sunshine Credit Co., one of the four major credit companies, Chiba Bank, Shizuoka Bank, and so on. These companies are all companies of the full-day consortium that Xia Yu wants to build in the island country. After letting these companies come forward, it only cost 32 billion yen to get the entire Sanko Steamboat Group in the bag. Of course, 32 billion yen can be obtained by any company. The key reason why so many companies are required to sell together is to undertake the original high debt of the Sanguang Steamboat Group. This acquisition went smoothly. Even if the relationship was not used, the island government was very active in supporting it. After all, the Sanko Steamship Group completed its reorganization a day earlier, and only shipbuilding companies such as Sebo, Kawasaki, Hakodate, Usuki, Oshima, Keihin, and General Shipyard can follow the crisis and rescue the entire island country''s shipbuilding industry. In addition to the acquisition of Sanguang Steamship Group, Xia Yu''s all-day consortium also has a series of major moves in the island country. The first is the wholly-owned acquisition of the Imabari Shipbuilding Group, which has no background in the six major consortiums in the island country. This is a shipbuilding company established in 1901 and ranked ninth in the island country¡¯s shipbuilding industry. After acquiring the Imabari Shipbuilding Group, they were allowed to make successive moves and acquired some troubled shipyards in various parts of the island country. After the acquisition, although the integration has not been completed, in terms of scale, it has become the fourth largest shipbuilding group in the island country. It is second only to the Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries Group of the Mitsui Consortium, the Kawasaki Shipbuilding Group of the Daiichi Kanyin Consortium, and the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group of the Mitsubishi Consortium. Sumitomo Heavy Industries Marine Engineering and Hitachi Shipbuilding are all ranked under Imabari Shipbuilding Group. And on the European side. The Bright Fund has launched. First, at a price of 19.7 billion pounds, the wholly-owned Danish giant company Mueller Maersk was acquired. Founded in 1904, this company is mainly engaged in shipbuilding and marine transportation, oil and gas exploration and development, air transportation, commodity retail, etc. It has more than 30 subsidiaries and more than 20,000 employees worldwide. The key to the acquisition is that its two pillars, shipbuilding and maritime transportation, and oil and natural gas exploration and extraction, are all caught in a quagmire. International oil prices have fallen like dogs, and the global shipbuilding and shipping markets have been sluggish for so many years, making M¨¹ller Maersk suffer serious losses. After taking it, the Bright Fund immediately mobilized its financial companies to provide it with a loan of one billion pounds. After receiving this loan, Mueller Maersk became a strong company. First, it acquired the Swiss Mediterranean Shipping Company for ¡ê2.4 billion, which is a container shipping company focused on developing routes between Africa and the Mediterranean. Then, for ¡ê2.1 billion, it acquired the Hapag-Lloyd Shipping Company in West Germany, which was formed in 1970 by the merger of the two shipping companies Harpago in 1847 and Lloyd North Germany in 1856. The business covers southern Europe, northern Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia, and is also dedicated to container services. It also acquired the British Railway Container Transport Group for 1.7 billion pounds, and the Java Group of the Netherlands for 1.5 billion pounds. After completing the mergers and acquisitions of these four container giants. Muller Maersk has completely secured its position as the hegemon of the global container shipping company. It has 824 container ships, which can transport 4,528,430 TEUs at the same time. Based on the original market shares of these five container companies, they together account for 432 of the global container transportation market. On Wheelock Shipping''s side, the actions are not small. First, at a cost of 9.2 billion US dollars, it wholly acquired the Norwegian shipping boss Ben Gesen Group, which is the world''s largest liquefied gas and natural gas transporter with a total load capacity of 5.24 million tons. Then, at a cost of one billion Hong Kong dollars, he wholly took over and privatized the Guanghua Shipping Company of Hong Kong, which has a total load capacity of 2.85 million tons. Coupled with the second-hand freighters bought by Wheelock Shipping Company on wild dips. As a result, the total deadweight of Wheelock Shipping''s fleet soared to 15.25 million tons! Orient Overseas, another shipping giant in Hong Kong, is not far behind. UU Read www.uuk¨¡nshu. com has hunted down some cargo ships and increased the total carrying capacity of the fleet to 12.8 million tons! Just over a month. Three ten-million-ton-class shipping companies suddenly emerged in the global shipping market, and one of them had a capacity of over 20 million tons, which really shocked everyone''s attention. Moeller Maersk has a capacity of 22.3 million tons, ranking first in the world! Wheelock Shipping Company, with a capacity of 15.25 million tons, ranks second in the world! Orient Overseas Shipping Company, with a capacity of 12.8 million tons, ranks third in the world! As for the original shipping overlord Sanguang Steamboat Group, its capacity has dropped from 10 million tons, leaving only 8.02 million tons, but it is still enough to rank fifth in the world! Xia Yu has become the world''s ship king behind the scenes of absolute status! Such earth-shaking changes in the global shipping market have triggered research in related industries and the financial industry. The results of the research are generally the same, that is, the global shipping market has fallen to the bottom, and the market is about to recover! On August 3, after the international crude oil price fell to US$1,387 per barrel, it started to rebound the next day. And it went higher for a week in succession, returning to 14 dollars a barrel. The financial market judged that the international crude oil price has begun to bottom out and rebound, and it has quickly revived the global shipping market. However, Xia Yu did not pay attention to the changes in the shipping market. The four giant shipping giants also have suitable people to run them, so he doesn''t need to worry about them. What''s more, he didn''t have the thought to deal with it. Because before the international crude oil price bottomed out and rebounded, all the companies that short international crude oil prices around the world completed the harvest one after another, and the statistical results list has been compiled! He is rich again! v3 Chapter 1423: $0 billion in revenue! Recall last June. Xia Yu estimated that the international crude oil price is close to the highest level since the oil crisis in the early 1980s. So he let the Galaxy Fund, Bright Fund, Salomon Brothers, Polaris Capital, Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Fund, the investment departments of major banks and insurance companies, etc., use different levers and invest US$15.6 billion in capital. Gold, a total of 223.5 billion US dollars into the market to short international crude oil futures, the average opening price is 2762 US dollars barrels. The position of 223.5 billion U.S. dollars occupied 20 short positions at the time! Later, as OPEC started to expand production and sell oil at low prices, international crude oil prices began to fall. As a result, the price of international crude oil has begun to fluctuate violently, and no institution can determine what the bottom of the price will be. Therefore, the judgment price is different, and there are long and short entry or increase positions at all times. Of course, there are also unlucky people who have made mistakes and leave the game. And Xia Yu''s company, of course, would not have such a situation. After the international crude oil prices fell, Xia Yu did not need to order, and his large number of financial companies continued to increase their positions. Although he continued to increase his position, the proportion of short positions held by Xia Yu was declining because of the skyrocketing number of players at the table. But this is a good thing for Xia Yu. Of course, because different companies continue to raise or enter the market at different prices, time points, and purchases. Some companies are his wholly-owned companies, some are joint ventures, and some are companies in other situations. So when it came to the back, Xia Yu didn''t know for a while how much he occupies in this big cake that changes all the time! Earn less profit! In addition to shorting international crude oil. Last year, before the signing of the Plaza Agreement, Xia Yu made a large-scale layout in the financial markets of various countries. Britain, France, island countries, Canada, Italy, and other countries, whether it is exchange rates, stocks or bond markets, have all been invested in apportionment. Investment quotas and leverage ratios vary from country to country and from market to market. Fortunately, compared to international crude oil futures. The layout of the financial markets in these countries has a relatively long operating time, and this year is not yet the harvest time. Therefore, Xia Yu also has to worry if he is sure that he has maintained a floating profit and no loss has occurred. The reason why we must pay attention this time. It is because after the international crude oil futures are fully harvested, the huge profits he has grabbed need to find a sufficiently broad market to continue to invest in appreciation. Because of the signing of the Plaza Accord, the U.S. dollar has depreciated, and the markets where the currencies of various countries have appreciated are the most suitable markets for investment. Of course, before making a new step of investment planning. Xia Yu also needs to determine the specific circumstances of the income this time, and make appropriate fund deployment arrangements based on the amount of income. In Xia Yu''s office. Huo Jianning sat on the sofa, in a daze, staring at Xia Yu who was looking up the statistics report. He personally made the statistical report on the actions and success of international crude oil futures, so he is very clear about the contents. But it was clear that he could not be calm. His three views were once more destroyed! Even if he was the director of Xia Yu''s family office, the prime minister of Xia''s business empire, he had long understood the assets of Xia Yu''s huge empire. But those are mostly companies after all. And this time, all the gains in excess of 100 billion U.S. dollars are still liquid funds. How can it be the same? When Huo Jianning was in a trance, the smile on Xia Yu''s face became more and more brilliant, as if there was a heroic spirit in his chest that wanted to go straight into the sky. He couldn''t help shouting in greetings. "Okay!" "Eat once, haha" The overall short-selling plan for international crude oil futures is huge and complicated. If the statistics are separated into two parts, it will be clearer. First of all, the first major part is that Xia Yu asked major companies to do it in advance, and $15.6 billion drove $223.5 billion of funds into the market. In this part, the average opening price is 276.2 billion US dollars barrels. The average closing price is 1,411 US dollars a barrel. So in this part, the gross profit of the operation is 10,093.2 billion U.S. dollars. After deducting the cost of capital use and the trading team commission, the company''s profit is 10101.3 billion US dollars. The bulk of the cost is the cost of capital use. The interest on leveraged funding is relatively high, and the specific costs are more complicated. After all, different banks, different leverage ratios, different capital chains, and different countries are also different. And it is impossible for all of these 10101.3 billion US dollars to belong to Xia Yu. Because except for a few companies registered in offshore paradise such as Galaxy Fund, many banks are registered in various countries, which is doomed to pay taxes! Even if reasonable tax avoidance measures are taken, at least a dozen points of tax will not escape. Therefore, the estimated profit of 10101.3 billion US dollars is only about 87.5 billion US dollars in the end. The other major part of it is that after the international crude oil prices fell, various companies re-entered the market to operate. Most of this part is more complicated, involving many non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. Therefore, the statistics are based on the company level. After all, the profits earned by these non-wholly-owned companies may not necessarily receive dividends, and they cannot get the money spent at will. Of course, the nature is different. Most of this is because it entered the market after the crisis, it is difficult to open a position, and the price is not good enough. A total of 864.9 billion U.S. dollars has been invested, and the average short position opening price is 2018 U.S. dollars barrels. The average closing price is $1,407 barrels. So the gross profit of this majority of transactions is $2.618.7 billion. If a series of costs and taxes are deducted for the gross profit of the transaction of $2.618.7 billion, then dividends will be distributed according to the company''s equity ratio. What can belong to Xia Yu is about 16 billion U.S. dollars. Adding up these two parts, the net profit that belongs to Xia Yu in the final practical sense is still more than 100 billion U.S. dollars! His global business empire has more than hundreds of billions of dollars in circulating funds, and its security has instantly increased by several levels. UU reading www. uukanshu.com As for offensiveness, not to mention more. If Xia Yu were to attack a certain consortium, it would be enough to sweep the vast majority of consortia around the world one-on-one. Of course, Xia Yu wouldn''t go crazy either. It was easy to fight a certain consortium in an all-round way. This was not in line with his low-key development style. "Most of the income in this is owned by the companies, letting them arrange for themselves. After all, the various acquisitions before, definitely increased a lot of debt." Xia Yu remembered that the Polaris consortium had spent more than $2 billion to improve the satellite and rocket layout in April, so he made a decision in his mind. The same is true in Europe. Britain and France have been privatized one after another, but it is very costly. This time, the Bright Consortium on the European side will return a wave of blood to reduce risks and enhance overall security and stability. Anyway, the money is in the hands of various companies. When he has any strategic plans later, he still wants these companies to spend the money. Once there is not enough money, in the end, is it not asking him to make a small treasury to replenish it? The essence is the same! But it is gratifying that this time, the amount of funds in his small vault Galaxy Fund has rebounded to the 30 billion U.S. dollar mark. Last year, his Galaxy Fund''s liquidity was as high as 32.4 billion U.S. dollars. Later, in addition to taking a part to short the international crude oil futures, another 20 billion U.S. dollars was invested in the island countries, which caused the amount of liquidity to drop to about 10 billion U.S. dollars. This time, the Galaxy Fund shorted international crude oil futures. In addition to the cost of capital use, the profit after tax avoidance was as high as 184.7 billion U.S. dollars. With the addition of the original funds, the working capital of the Galaxy Fund has now risen to 316.8 billion U.S. dollars. The small vault is full again. : I''m sorry, it will be updated at two o''clock, and there is no way to work overtime on weekends v3 Chapter 1424: ABCD4 Major Grain Merchant "Jianning, the profits of these companies, except for the Galaxy Fund, don''t need to be transferred." "You go to convene a think tank, and according to the original financial market layout, let each company increase investment according to its own strength and depending on the situation." "But you still need to show me a top-level plan." After putting down the statistics report, Xia Yu summoned the tranced Huo Jianning and gave him instructions directly. "Well, I will step up to complete the task in these two days." Huo Jianning immediately replied loudly. "Well, go ahead." ... After Huo Jianning left, Xia Yu checked the time and found that it was not too early, so he returned home to see his wife and children. And using the time of these few days, Xia Yu also pondered over what to spend after making so much money. The financial layout is already very large. If you want to wait for the right harvest time, you need to wait a long time. And this interval of time, you can''t wait to waste time. Just after he checked the list of the world''s top 500 in Economic Weekly, Xia Yu inspired some inspiration. Subsequently, he immediately arranged for someone to investigate the market situation and collect relevant information. Within a few days, the business intelligence network all over the world collected all the information he needed. This time, he is focusing on the global commodity trading market! Bulk commodities refer to material commodities that can enter the circulation field, but are not retail links, have commodity attributes and are used for industrial and agricultural production and consumption. Commodity transactions are not ordinary consumers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach them. Even, many countries do not pay attention to this field, or do not know much about this field. Take the mainland, for example, after joining the WTO in the previous life, in 2004, it made a big deal in bulk commodity trading. ABCD''s four major international grain merchants used bulk trading methods to almost completely wipe out mainland soybean companies, and took advantage of the opportunity to purchase major mainland soybean companies at low prices, opening up the entire industrial chain. Of the 40 million bean farmers, half of them are laid off. They can only leave their homes and become one of the 200 million migrant workers, which has caused a huge negative impact on society. Closer to home. Soybean is a kind of commodity, and it also belongs to the category of agricultural products. In fact, there are a wide variety of bulk commodities, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum and other non-ferrous metal products, crude oil, natural rubber, propane, heating oil and other energy and chemical products, as well as corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cocoa, cotton and other agricultural products. By-products are all commodities. In order to facilitate classification, it is divided into three categories, namely energy commodities, basic raw materials and agricultural and sideline products. In terms of commodity trading, Xia Yu has actually been doing it a long time ago, and he is still the big one. After all, the status of the bulk commodity market is tied to the amount of resources. Speaking of resources, Xia Yu has too many, so relatively, he has a very high market influence position in many fields. Needless to say, natural rubber, because backed by Southeast Asia, the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange has become the world''s largest natural rubber futures trading place. The two rubber kings in Southeast Asia are allies of Xia Yu. The company is also owned by Xia Yu. The Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange is controlled by Xia Yu. Therefore, Xia Yu controls the highest pricing power for natural rubber. In terms of minerals, Bluestar Mining Company, a giant crocodile lurking in the bottom of the water, relied on the resources provided by Xia Yu to run wild on the road of mining hegemony. In terms of crude oil, Pacific Petroleum Corporation, following Xia Yu¡¯s instructions, is also a rich man after winning one of the big oil fields. As long as there are plans to develop some oil fields later, it will be enough to gain a pivotal market position. In these areas, there is no shortage of resources, but it is necessary to strengthen the power in links other than mining. After all, resources are one thing at hand, and whether they can sell at a high price to make more profits is another matter. But in any case, with huge resources, it is already invincible. In Xia Yu''s plan, Bluestar Mining Company will focus on metal products in the three major categories of commodities. The Pacific Petroleum Company, on the other hand, relies on the most basic crude oil to perfect energy and chemical products such as heating oil, unleaded regular gasoline, propane and petroleum extracts. Look at it this way. He also has an obvious shortcoming in bulk commodity trading, that is, agricultural and sideline products and the entire industrial chain. In this regard, he is not without a company, just not strong. For example, the first-tier subsidiary of Jiuding Industrial Group-Taikoo Agriculture Group, has companies such as Taikoo Cotton, Taikoo Sugar, Taikoo Tea, etc., and has many plantations and farms in Australia, India and other countries. On a global scale, it can be regarded as a strong one. In Australia and New Zealand, Queensland Sugar Company and New Zealand Sugar Company occupy the largest market share in New Zealand and Australia, with a market share of more than 75%, and are also the largest sugar exporters. In the mainland, there is the Huanong Group, which was established three years ago. This is an agricultural production material group with a full industrial chain in agriculture. It specializes in pesticides and pesticide equipment, chemical fertilizers, small farm tools, semi-mechanized farm tools, mechanized farm tools, There are subsidiaries in feed, seedling cultivation, etc. But in the final analysis, the positioning of Huanong Group is a supplier of agricultural production materials, rather than a seller of agricultural products. There is still a big difference. It''s not that Xia Yu doesn''t want to build a company comparable to COFCO on the mainland, but it is actually not very mature now. The household contract responsibility system in mainland China has been implemented for less than eight years, and land is very sensitive. Moreover, the mainland is still dominated by small-scale peasants. Kyushu Industrial Group wants to enter the field of agricultural and sideline product production. It is basically impossible to become a Big Mac now, and it will be more realistic after entering the 1990s. Therefore, if Xia Yu wants to become a major global agricultural and sideline product trading giant, currently he can only think of ways outside the mainland. Because there is enough capital, the easiest way is to build a house and buy an existing industry giant. There is no doubt that the four major grain merchants of ABCD in later generations have been targeted by Xia Yu. In the data collected this time, these four companies are impressively listed. American Cargill, C of the four major grain merchants, is the largest agricultural product trading hegemon in later generations. Founded in 1865, Cargill has been an old company for more than 120 years. So far, the unlisted Cargill has been jointly controlled by the Macmillan family and the Cargill family. The two families have been married for hundreds of years. Has long been indivisible. In addition, the two big families have very stable business styles and do not like loan operations, so the development speed is relatively slow. At this time, Cargill has entered the Asian market and even started trading with China after Nixon''s visit to China in 1972. Among the four major grain merchants, A is the American company ADM, which was established in 1902 and is now a top oilseed, corn and wheat processing company. This company is not the same as Cargill. It has already gone public. The company is currently run by the founder''s family, the Daniels family. Because AMD was founded by the two founders, Daniels and Archer, and later merged with Midland, so in terms of equity, there is no such concentration of Cargill. Among the four major grain merchants, B is Bunge, but it is not a US company because its headquarters has not been moved to the United States. Bunge is also an extremely old company, older than Cargill. It was founded in 1818 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and before Cargill was established, it was already a major food supplier in the world. At present, Bunge is not listed. For more than 160 years, it has been in the hands of the Bunge family, and the control is so deep that it cannot be shaken at all. The last D among the four major grain merchants is the French company Louis Dreyfus. This company was founded in 1851. Its development strategy is similar to that of Cargill. They are always moving forward in concealment, far away from public view. At present, the Louis Dreyfus family is not listed, and it is in the hands of the Louis Dreyfus family. The current family head and group chairman is Robert Louis Dreyfus, who holds 81% of the shares of the Louis Dreyfus Group, and the remaining 19 % Of the equity is also concentrated in the hands of other members of the Louis Dreyfus family. In addition to these four giants, there are also Icham, Dalivan, Paul Reinhardt, Olam, etc. in the global agricultural and sideline product trading market. It''s just that most of these companies are very low-key, making a fortune in silence, and do not go public, and their equity is relatively concentrated. After finding these things, Xia Yu also felt some headaches. v3 Chapter 1425: Forced until he sells! With his current net worth, he has the funds to buy any of the four major international grain merchants in the next generations, and it is not bad to pack them together. Even at the peak of these four major grain merchants, Xia Yu is not afraid of his current capital. It''s just that Xia Yu knows very well that money is of great use, but it is not a panacea. Put yourself in the situation, if someone wants to buy his Jiuding Bank and Jiuding Securities Company with money, how could he sell it? Even if the premium is five times the price, he will not sell it! This is no longer a question of money. These companies are the foundation of their lives and cannot be sold! For these food merchant families, the company is also not for sale. Otherwise, it will not develop steadily, and it will not be listed for hundreds of years. Just like Cargill, even in later generations, it has not gone public, and the entire family will guard this company to survive. So now Xia Yu wants to acquire these non-listed companies, it is extremely difficult! "Anyway, you still have to try your best, otherwise it will take a long time to catch up with the accumulation of these companies for hundreds of years." "Any one of ABCD should give it a try. The focus is on ADM. This one should have the greatest probability of success..." After making a decision. Xia Yu immediately asked the family office to give orders. Among them, the Bright Fund is responsible for acquiring the French company Louis Dreyfus and the Dutch Bunge company. Polaris Capital Corporation is responsible for the acquisition of Cargill and ADM. As for other companies such as Icham, Dalivan, Paul Reinhardt, Oran, etc., they are used as alternatives. Of course, if one of the four major grain merchants can be acquired, these companies can also be used as targets for mergers and acquisitions to enhance their own strength and improve the global industrial layout. After all, it can be seen from the survey data that the current four major grain merchants are not the next four major grain merchants, and none of them has achieved absolute dominance in the market, and they are still expanding. For example, ADM only established a branch in Hong Kong, the Oriental International Port, in 1983. It only formulated a European expansion strategy this year. It is now trying to expand through mergers and acquisitions in the Netherlands and West Germany. After ordering the following actions. The focus of Xia Yu''s work has not left the field of bulk agricultural products trading. The acquisition of these four major grain merchants does not affect the continued expansion of Swire Agricultural Group. Xiangjiang is adjacent to Southeast Asia, and Xia Yu wants to build Southeast Asia into a rear area. He has deepened his control in various fields and will naturally not ignore the biggest characteristics of Southeast Asia! Rice is the world''s food variety, and in Asia, rice production accounts for more than 92% of the world''s rice production. Among them, Southeast Asia and other countries account for 18% of the total rice output in Asia and one-sixth of the world''s rice output! Because of the unique climate in Southeast Asia, rice accounts for more than 80% of the arable land of food crops in Southeast Asian countries. Southeast Asian countries are also very dependent on rice exports. The rice exports of Southeast Asian countries account for two-thirds of the total Asian rice exports. Of course, from a lot of data, one can see the influence of Southeast Asia in the rice field. However, if we analyze some data more deeply, we can see that Southeast Asian countries still have a lot of room for improvement in the entire rice industry chain. For example, there are island countries with more people and less land in the horizontal comparison, and intensive cultivation of the land. The rice yield per hectare historically exceeded 60 quintals per hectare in 1977. One quintal is equal to 100 kg, so the yield per hectare is more than six tons. This is still the yield under the condition that Huaxia''s hybrid rice has no technological output. And Southeast Asia? At the same time, only Indonesia and Malaysia had more than 20 quintals per hectare. In countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines, none of them exceed 20 quintals per hectare, and the lowest in Thailand even yields less than 120 kilograms of rice per acre! In Indonesia and Malaysia, where the yield per mu is higher, rice cultivation is the second largest crop after rubber cultivation. In contrast, this is not the case in other countries. It can be seen from this that countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines do not make full use of the land at all, and they all use extensive planting management. Even if the rice production on these lands has more than tripled, it can be comparable to the island country¡¯s rice yield. However, with nearly 25 million hectares of rice planting in these four countries, if it catches up with the island country¡¯s planting level, it will increase production by nearly 100 million tons. Not to mention the output of hybrid rice technology in mainland China after it is extended to Southeast Asia. Therefore, it is an excellent time to penetrate into the rice industry of Southeast Asian countries. In the case that China, a large rice-growing country, does not export rice, in-depth control of the rice industry in Southeast Asian countries is enough to create a world-class food giant. In addition to Southeast Asia, India on the South Asian peninsula is also a large agricultural country. Because of its unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, India has a very high position in crops such as cotton, rice, wheat, corn and jute. Take cotton as an example. India is the world''s largest cotton producer, accounting for more than a quarter of the world''s cotton production. The Taikoo Cotton Company under Xia Yu''s Taikoo Agriculture Group is India''s domestic cotton giant and has been developing in India for nearly a hundred years. Only because the Swire Agricultural Group was not the highest in the entire Swire Consortium before, it was unable to obtain too much resource support from the Swire Consortium, so even if Swire Cotton had developed in India for nearly a hundred years, it did not occupy the supreme market dominance. After the Taikoo Agricultural Group was acquired by Xia Yu, Xia Yu did not interfere too much and placed it under the Jiuding Industrial Group, allowing it to develop on its own. Compared with being under the Swire Consortium, there are naturally more resources of all kinds, and the development is also faster, but it is not fast to the point of exaggeration. After all, compared with companies in the fields of heavy industry, finance and media, Xia Yu didn''t pay enough attention to it before. But now that Xia Yu''s sight is placed here, resources will definitely be tilted a lot. Soon, Xia Yu went directly over Wei Li of Jiuding Industrial Group and summoned the president of Taikoo Agricultural Group. After some detailed discussions, Xia Yu injected 600 million Hong Kong dollars into Swire Agriculture Group, allowing Swire Agriculture Group to develop in large strides in accordance with its long-term plan. At the time when Swire Agriculture Group was gearing up to set off an "agricultural whirlwind" in Southeast Asia and South Asia. News of the acquisition of ABCD''s four major grain merchants has come in one after another. As expected by Xia Yu, the news was not good. France''s Louis Dreyfus and Dutch Bunge, in the face of the Bright Fund¡¯s price increases, did not hesitate to refuse and declared that the company would not sell. In the United States, Cargill, faced with the bargaining chip thrown by Polaris Capital, the Macmillan and Cargill families also did not hesitate to reject and were also very vigilant. After rejecting Polaris Capital, the first I contacted some other small shareholders at a time, and wanted to acquire 12% of the shares outside the two big families, and realize the joint 100% control of the two big families. In the last ADM company, the owner of the company, Duane Andr¨¦s, also resisted fiercely and had a bad attitude. No one should try to steal ADM from him. Polaris Capital acquired 22.4% of the shares from other shareholders. Due to Duane Andres, the acquisition stalled. However, compared with the other three companies, ADM is still open, but it is very difficult to continue to go down. After knowing this situation. Xia Yu has the same attitude. It must be bought! If Duane Andres doesn''t sell it, he has to *** until he sells it! For this, any means can be used! v3 Chapter 1426: FBI shot As the only company established in the twentieth century among the four major grain merchants in the future, the reason why ADM was able to grow so fast is inseparable from Duane Andres. In the 67 years between 1902 and 1969, ADM developed rapidly, but it followed business logic, and it could only be considered good, not excellent. Until 1970, ADM''s total assets had just reached 450 million U.S. dollars. In 1970, it was a watershed. This year, Duane Andres adopted a series of measures to strongly take over the ADM company, and then ADM company entered the fast lane of development. Because Duane Andres is a "combination of government and business development company" principle, so in 1948, at the age of 30, he generously invested in Hubert Humphrey, who was in his pocket at the time. Support him to run for the Senate. With his strong support, Hubert Humphrey got higher and higher in politics, and even served as the 38th Vice President of the United States from 1965 to 1969. After Duane Andres entered the ADM company in 1970, he immediately sought help from Senator Hubert Humphrey after failing to run for president. Hubert Humphrey is also a good brother of Duane Andres. He used his power to urge the government to formulate relevant laws to support the development of the sugar industry in the Senate Agriculture Committee. And Duane Andres has already achieved great success in investing in high-sugar corn products. The combination of power and capital was once again successful. Duane Andres began to lead the development of ADM company in large strides, using his power to boost the company''s development time and time again. Fifteen years later. ADM''s total assets reached US$4.579 billion, ten times that of fifteen years ago! Of course, the achievements of ADM could have been higher, but it is a pity that Hubert Humphrey, a "political heartthrob", died unexpectedly in 1978, causing Duane Andres to lose his greatest Boost. Even if he kept saving and re-establishing the relationship later, it was not as good as when Hubert Humphrey was there. After all, in the final analysis, Hubert Humphrey was supported by him when he was in despair. What is the icing on the cake for the relationship shaped by the help of the snow? What''s more, not everyone can reach the height of Hubert Humphrey. If you want to invest in the right person, you need not only an extraordinary vision, but also a huge bonus of luck. So since the death of Hubert Humphrey in 1978, ADM''s growth rate has slowed down relatively. But the development momentum is still the most ferocious group of companies. This is related to his style of behavior that he has shaped for decades. He is a true capitalist, and he can trample the law again and again without compromise for his own benefit. In the capitalist United States, the government serves capital. As long as it has enough capital, it can trample the law on the ground again and again, and countless lawyers, under the lure of green U.S. dollars, will do their best to drill the law. Thousands of warehouses and hundreds of holes! In the United States, only stronger capitalists can hold down capitalists! ¡­ After getting Xia Yu''s order. Peter Lynch immediately summoned a think tank to formulate a lore plan. And after the lore plan is done, he intends to give Duane Andres one last chance to look back! ADM corporate headquarters. The acquisition team once again came to Duane Andres'' office. Stanford Rex, the head of the acquisition team, went straight to the point: "Mr. Andr¨¦s, you should understand our intentions, you should understand that, $1.36 billion, you will transfer all the 67.9% of the equity held by your family to us. !" After all, Stanford Rex put the prepared acquisition agreement in front of Duane Andres. But Duane Andr¨¦s''s face became cold and he didn''t even look at it. He pushed aside the acquisition agreement and resolutely said: "Manager Rex, I said, I will not sell ADM, we Nothing to talk about!" After speaking, Duane Andres kept rolling in his heart, he knew that Stanford Rex was threatening him. ADM¡¯s total assets are US$4.579 billion, of which total liabilities are US$2.574 billion and net assets are US$2.005 billion. Last year, ADM also had a turnover of 3.823 billion U.S. dollars and a net profit of 134 million U.S. dollars. The price set by Stanford Rex, the valuation of ADM, is exactly the amount of its net assets! While ADM is a non-listed company, the company''s financial report is also very confidential and has not been announced to the outside world, but Stanford Rex clearly knows it. Stanford Rex did not change his face, took a deep look at him, and said again: "Mr. Andres, we have a 20% premium, 1.63 billion U.S. dollars. This is our last offer. ." "I hope you think about it." "Don''t think about it, even if you double the premium, I won''t sell it!" Duane Andres snorted coldly and refused without hesitation. "Boom!" Stanford Rex tapped his fingers on the desktop and said in a more serious tone: "Mr. Andr¨¦s, you have been in business for more than forty years. You should understand that the assets you can hold are your assets. ." "Now we are looking for the door and want to make friends with you." "With this money, you can enter other industries, and we are willing to help you. This is a bright road for you." Speaking of this, Stanford Rex paused. After seeing Duane Andres¡¯ eyes drifting, he smiled and said, ¡°You should understand that there are things that you can¡¯t stop and will happen. It will happen." Duane Andres'' pupils shrank sharply, staring at Stanford Rex, who looked at him calmly. A wave of anger rose in Duane Andres'' chest, and his expression kept changing. Finally, he thought of the 67.9% equity held by the family, and he was not afraid of others taking it away, so his heart was cruel, and his face instantly cooled down. "President Rex, I will not sell ADM, and no one will take it away!" Stanford Rex chuckled, stood up without any haste, adjusted his suit, motioned to his subordinate to put down a business card, then fluttered a word and turned away. "Sixteen years ago, ADM belonged to the Dennis family, and they definitely said they would never sell it." After watching Stanford Rex with a cold face, Duane Andres finally couldn''t help it, and smashed the pen holder on the desk to the ground with an angry face. "boom!" "Damn it, threatening me!" "Your Polaris consortium is very powerful, but there is no better than you. It is pressing me, and I will sell the company to other consortia!" After a few swear words, the anger in Duane Andres''s heart subsided a little. But having said that, the pressure in his heart is not reduced by one point. After all, the prestige of the Polaris consortium is too great. It participated in the dismemberment of the Chicago consortium and joined the Mellon consortium to defeat the Cleveland consortium. Compared with the Polaris consortium, their Andres family is just a child. He must pay attention to the threat of Stanford Rex. After nearly an hour of contemplation in the office, UU reading Duane Andres immediately called and asked his son Darnell Andres to put down his work and come to his office as soon as possible. . His son Darnell Andres, who is 45 years old this year, is his right arm and the best member of the family, and his heir''s status has long been unshakable. In ADM, he has been working for 16 years and has been a vice president since he took over in 1970. The ADM company said that it grew in his hands, rather than the two of their father and son. Soon, Darnell Andres hurried back. It''s just that Duane Andres didn''t even count it. The Polaris consortium''s attack did not fall on ADM, but on his son Darnell Andres. It was only the second day that the FBI under the US Department of Justice entered the ADM company and arrested 32 employees headed by Darnell Andres! Reason for arrest-malicious manipulation of food prices! v3 Chapter 1427: Refused to bail, the Ministry of Agriculture shot Darnell Andres was arrested in front of Duane Andres, no matter how he explained and obstructed him, he could not prevent his son from being taken away. After the FBI''s car left, he immediately called a meeting with the company''s senior management and asked the Legal Department to study solutions. "boom!" "Damn it, they are robbers!" In the conference room, Duane Andres became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, and couldn''t help but slap heavily on the table and roar. All the executives present were frightened. But they were all confused, not knowing who "they" Duane Andres was referring to. Because yesterday, Duane Andres only discussed with his son, and did not expect Polaris Capital to move so quickly! "Chairman, what happened, and who is hurting us?" An executive couldn''t help asking. Duane Andres saw everyone looking at him suspiciously. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "It must have been done by Polaris Capital." "Before, they secretly acquired the equity of our company, but I interfered to stop it after I discovered it. Yesterday they came directly to the company and wanted to acquire the equity in my hands, but I refused." "Before they left, they threatened me. As a result, this kind of thing happened today. It can''t be a coincidence. They can only do it!" Duane Andres finished speaking in one breath, his chest rising and falling violently. After getting the answer, many executives looked at each other, unexpectedly the enemy turned out to be the capital giant Polaris Capital. An executive said solemnly: "With the energy of Polaris Capital, this can indeed be done." "Chairman, we must immediately release the vice president and other employees on bail." "Once the investigation reveals the truth, we will be in big trouble!" "Polaris Capital is different from its previous enemies!" Does ADM control food prices? The answer is clear-yes! ADM company can rise so fast, relying on market position to control food prices and make large profits is one of the magic weapons. Duane Andres decides the strategy, his son Darnell Andres manages, the direct employees below are responsible for the implementation, and other parts of the company are responsible for assistance. The division of labor in the entire process is very clear. This kind of strategy was discussed at the company''s senior meeting. Even if there is no record, the executives here are very clear. They are afraid because they have done it. ADM has done it many times before, and it is not unreported by competitors. ADM has always been plagued by scandals and troubles. However, relying on the size of the ADM company and the relationship between Duane Andres, I have learned it every time. Even if the fine is paid, it is not worth mentioning compared with the income. Because of this, Duane Andres dare to let the company step on the line again and again. "Yes, Chairman, Polaris Capital''s network of relationships is much stronger than ours." "We currently don''t know how much evidence the enemy and the FBI have." "We must release the vice presidents on bail immediately. The longer they are under investigation, the higher our risk will be." "I know, now that the Legal Department has acted." "The most important thing for calling everyone here is to make everyone more vigilant, do their best to self-check the situation in their respective areas of responsibility, eliminate some traces of invisible light, and stabilize the employees below." ... In the United States, a crime can be released on bail, even if it is intentional homicide! The bail system in the United States involves a basic principle of American justice. U.S. law follows the principle of "presumption of innocence". In other words, before the suspect is tried and found guilty, it must be assumed that the suspect is innocent. And the US law also stipulates that before the suspect appears in court for trial, he can go home as long as he pays a certain amount of bail and guarantees that he must go to the court on time for trial. If the suspect appears in court on time, the bail money will be returned to his hands. Now Darnell Andres and others have been arrested by the federal government. With ADM''s financial resources, they are completely released on bail. but! The Polaris Consortium took off and got Darnell Andres and the others in. If it was so simple and was released on bail, where would it be? At noon that day, ADM returned without success, bringing bad news to Duane Andres. "Chairman, we have exhausted all the methods, but the FBI refused to accept bail on the grounds that the vice president''s actions may cause major harm to society and do not meet the bail regulations." "Fak!" "Damn it, how could it cause major harm to society?" "what!" After receiving this bad news, Duane Andr¨¦s'' muscles raged and roared furiously, looking very scary. The person in the Legal Department turned pale with fright, and whispered: "Chairman, we have used all the chips as you said, and we have also met the head of the FBI in Illinois. He told us that this matter is Washington. He couldn''t change the above decision under the order directly issued by the General Administration." Duane Andres was panting heavily, his chest rising and falling violently, and his heart was abnormally suffocated. Sixty-eight years since his birth, he has never been so aggrieved. In the past, he used capital and power to do whatever he wanted. He didn''t expect the role to be reversed this time. This feeling of powerlessness is too uncomfortable! at this time. "Tuk tu tu..." There was a heavy knock on the door. Such a rapid voice made Duane Andres, who was already irritable, more irritable. "Come in!" He yelled at the door. The people outside were also taken aback. After waiting for a few seconds, they still mustered the courage to open the door, and under Duane Andres'' indifferent gaze, he stubbornly walked in. "Chairman, we may be in trouble again." "Just this morning, the Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Customs conducted a comprehensive random inspection of the 200,000 tons of Brazilian soybeans we are temporarily staying at the port. All soybeans that have not been unloaded are temporarily sealed, and we can only decide whether to enter the country after the test results come out. ." Hearing this news, Duane Andres clenched his fists, his old hands trembling unceasingly. He took a deep breath and didn''t open his eyes for a long time. At this time, he already felt exhausted physically and mentally. The enemy''s attack was too fierce! The two moves in succession are all towards the lifeblood of ADM. The entire industrial chain of soybeans is the backbone of ADM, second only to oil crops. U.S. soybeans mature from September to October. In order to ensure that soybean products are available throughout the year, ADM has been deploying the soybean industry in South America more than ten years ago. For this reason, it has also used means to destroy the soybean industry in Brazil and then bargain-hunting. The 200,000 tons of soybeans this time are worth more than 20 million U.S. dollars. In terms of value, ADM can afford it. However, the damage caused by the inspection and temporary seizure by the customs and the Ministry of Agriculture is far from comparable to US$20 million. Generally speaking, the results can be obtained within ten days of random inspections by the customs, and it can be done faster. Even before the ADM company has obtained the permit, it can enter directly ~ www.novelhall.com~ This saves a lot of time. If the comprehensive inspection by the customs is delayed for a month or even longer, then the agreement signed by ADM in the country will have to be breached, and their own oil mills and feed mills and other factories will also stop operating because they do not have soybean raw materials. The loss is huge! What worries Duane Andres even more is that Polaris Capital will not let him go so simply. After a comprehensive test of 200,000 tons of soybeans, he can''t guarantee whether the pesticide residues will exceed the standard and whether they carry harmful organisms? Once it is found out, there will be too many soybeans that have entered customs before, soybeans that are now entering customs, and soybeans that have not yet been shipped from the place of production. If the Polaris consortium makes another black hand and mixes the 200,000 tons of soybeans temporarily detained with something, it will be over! If there is also an exorbitant ticket... Thinking of this, Duane Andres felt suffocated. v3 Chapter 1428: Looking for Rockefeller? no way! The executives had just convened a meeting in the morning, and Duandr¨¦s had to convene a meeting again in the afternoon to discuss a response plan. However, this is of no use. This wave of offensive launched by the Polaris Consortium depends on the strength of the company itself, so don¡¯t even want to take over. unless! There are other big consortiums intervening! But Xia Yu and Peter Lynch had already guarded against this, because Duandr¨¦s didn''t know each other! This one-sided struggle has attracted a lot of attention in the American business community. But almost everyone looked down upon the Andres family. The previous record of the North Star Consortium is still vivid. This time, few people dared to intervene, and they were all watching with a lively mentality. In the next two days, Duandres searched all his past relationships, but failed to release his son on bail, and was unable to intervene in the detection of 200,000 tons of soybeans. But he has some energy after all. Under his activities, he was approved to meet his son who was under investigation. Of course, he is only allowed to go alone! Under the leadership of the staff, Du Andres came to the place where Darnell Andres was detained. Darnell Andres was not abused, but after all he was under tremendous mental pressure, so he was not in good condition. "Darnell, are you okay?" After seeing his son, Duandres asked with concern, his eyes still watching his son''s body carefully. "Father, I''m fine, I''m sorry to worry you." Darnell Andres squeezed a reluctant smile, lifted his spirits, and shook his head. "That''s good." "What have they asked you these days?" After confirming that his son was in good health, Duandr¨¦s breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked about the lifeline of the company. Hearing this question, Darnell Andres smiled bitterly on his face and couldn''t help sighing. This expression made Duane Andres'' heart sink suddenly. Sure enough, what Darnell Andres said proved his concern. "Father, we all underestimate the enemy and the FBI." "The information in the hands of the FBI is very detailed, most of which are our company''s secret data. Even our use of illegal funds has been found out." "I very much suspect that there are traitors in our company." "Even if I didn''t admit it, but they directly mentioned the key links, characters and funds, just let me answer whether it is." "I withstood the pressure, but unfortunately, some of the 31 employees who were arrested could not withstand the pressure and have actively cooperated with the investigation. They have already told me that they are reviewing me." "Father, this time, I''m afraid I won''t be able to escape from prison." "Hey¡­¡­" Darnell Andres was so pessimistic that Duand Andres'' heart was full of grief and anger, and his eyes couldn''t help but red. He apologized to his son full of remorse. "Darnell, I''m sorry, Dad didn''t release you on bail." "Father, we are much weaker than the enemy. In fact, when I was arrested, I felt like I couldn''t hide this time." Darnell Andres smiled instead, comforting his old father. "By the way, father, how is the company now?" In the face of his son''s probing gaze, Duandres remained silent for a long time and chose to tell the truth. He came in this time, hoping to solicit his son''s opinions, let him know the real situation and make it easier for the next conversation. "Darnell, on the day you were taken away, the 200,000 tons of soybeans we shipped from Brazil were seized at the customs. The General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly conducted a comprehensive inspection of our soybeans." "I have thought of many ways, but the situation is very bad." "I haven''t looked for Polaris Capital at the moment, and they haven''t looked for me again." "boom!" "Damn robber!" "The longer the delay, the more disadvantaged it is for us. They want to force us to surrender." Darnell Andr¨¦s yelled after listening, and slammed his fist against the wall with a muffled noise, which was enough to show the anger in his heart. "Yes." Duandres nodded, his face very ugly. "Father, we just rely on ourselves, I''m afraid we can''t resist, what are you going to do?" Darnell Andres asked after calming himself down. "Darnell, I want to know what you think. After all, I am already sixty-eight years old. It is difficult to say how many years I can live. The family business will eventually be handed over to you. As a whole family, only you are qualified for the important tasks. ." Duandres finished, looking straight at Darnell Andres. The latter was silent, and his brain started to work quickly. He heard it, and his father seemed to have the idea of ??surrendering. And the reason is because of him. Father didn''t want him to be in danger. While this moved him, his unwillingness and indignation became more intense. He came to the corner alone, thinking silently. Duane Andres didn''t bother, just sat in his place, lit a cigarette and started smoking. It''s just that the cigarette I liked in the past is full of bitterness today. a long time. Darnell Andres sat down opposite his father again, looked at his father, and said in a deep voice: "Father, I don''t think we can surrender." "If we surrender this time, we will also suffer heavy losses. A few days ago they offered a price of 1.36 billion U.S. dollars. After we surrender, it will definitely be lower. "They will definitely use the two crises as a bargaining chip to lower the price, and we don''t have any room for negotiation, because they can completely control the amount of the ticket." "Even if we do sell the company, we will have an enmity with them. Even if we both can become friends, they will be friends on the surface. The Polaris Consortium will never accept us sincerely, and they will not rest assured. "In this case, we might as well choose to go to a stronger consortium. Although the Polaris consortium is now very powerful, the Rockfield consortium and the Morgan consortium are stronger. They can also help us solve the problems we are encountering now." "Last year the Rockefeller Consortium also tried to acquire Cargill, but it failed." "Now the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium both have companies competing with us. If we are willing to sell the company to them, or sell a part of the equity to them, I think they will be willing to take over." "But what if you are really sentenced?" Duandr¨¦s was still not at ease after thinking about it for a long time. Darnell Andres smiled and said: "Father, even if I am actually sentenced, with the strength of our family, I believe you can get me out as soon as possible." "After all, the Polaris Consortium can stare at me for a year, and can it stare at me for five years or ten years?" In the later generations of the United States, more than half of the country¡¯s prisons were privately operated, and they were booming. The operators made huge profits. For example, the largest private prison giant in the United States, the United States Correctional Corporation, was rated as the US 400 in 2007. One of the most outstanding large companies, in 2011, revenue reached 1.8 billion U.S. dollars and net profit exceeded 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. Private prisons in the United States began to appear in the past few years. Once launched, they have gained popularity and are loved by criminals with amazing backgrounds or strong financial resources. With the strength of the Andres family, even if Darnell Andres is actually sentenced, he can be transferred to a private prison, where he can live a comfortable life, and participate in the company''s operations remotely. Wait until the limelight has passed, and then find a way to release it on parole. He has been sentenced, so he won¡¯t be charged for the crimes he committed with valuables. The Polaris consortium wants to engage in actions after his sentence, and it¡¯s much more difficult. Duane Andres looked at his son with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice: "Darnell, are you sure?" "Father, if I do this, I can save hundreds of millions of dollars for the family. I think it''s worth it." "Even if I do go to prison, as long as I can communicate with the outside world, then I can continue to play a role and contribute to the family." "And I also want to understand. It is too difficult to go to a higher position in the United States without falling to the big consortium." "This time there is no Polaris consortium against us, next time there will be other consortiums who want to eat us Instead of passively accepting, it is better to find the strongest backer from the beginning." Darnell Andres said with emotion. Duane Andres was speechless, but his eyes were filled with relief. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Darnell, you can be so cruel to yourself. I firmly believe that it is the most correct choice for the family to be handed over to you." "Don''t worry, Dad won''t give up until the last minute." "If you can convince Morgan or Rockefeller, I don''t think your situation would be so bad." "Wait for my news." "Okay, father!" Darnell Andres said with a smile. After a conversation, the pressure on the two fathers and sons was eliminated a lot. Then the father and son analyzed it carefully and decided to find the strongest Rockefeller consortium. After all, compared with the Morgan consortium, the Rockefeller consortium is not only stronger, but more importantly, they are more demanding for bulk trading companies. For the Andres family, there is more room for negotiation. It''s just that Duand Andres didn''t expect that even if their father and son had talked with their backs to the monitor, they also controlled the volume of the conversation, but there were not only two monitors on the bright side in the room. Before Darnell Andres was imprisoned, the FBI installed a number of very secret monitoring and recording devices in this room. The content of the conversation between the father and the son was all recorded. And these contents finally reached Peter Lynch''s hands and were also learned by Xia Yu who was far away in Xiangjiang. For Duane Andres wanted to resist and embrace the Rockefeller consortium''s behavior. Xia Yu just sneered and said that he was too naive! : There is a 300,000 starting currency event in the comment area. Don¡¯t miss it. Maybe you¡¯re lucky? v3 Chapter 1429: Lore! ADM company got it! "Is your chairman here?" "Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" The front desk of adm company, watching Stanford Rex and other people, the female employee at the front desk calmed down and asked. "If you call your chairman, you will say that we are members of Polaris Capital. Call it!" Stanford Rex smiled faintly, his tone of voice was flat but unquestionable. After hesitating for a moment, the front desk picked up the phone and dialed the landline of the chairman''s office. At this time, Duane Andres was thinking hard in the office, thinking about the way to negotiate with the Rockefeller consortium. The sudden ringing of the phone shocked him who was immersed in work. After the connection, a few words from the front desk made his expression gloomy instantly. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked the front desk to bring people over. Although he knew very well that Stanford Rex and others didn''t even make appointments, and they were definitely not good at coming, but he was absolutely weak here, and refusing to meet would definitely be detrimental to him. Impossible to do anything! After a while. Just as he had just cleaned up the table, there was a knock on the door outside, and after he said something to come in, the door opened. Stanford Rex started and walked in unceremoniously. "Mr. Andres, we meet again." Stanford Rex seemed to have seen an old friend, Lang said with a smile, and when he came to the sofa, he sat down directly, not at all polite. Duane Andres'' eyes were full of gloom, and he came out of his desk and said indifferently: "What are you doing here?" "You are so cruel to us, and you still want to buy my company?" "I tell you clearly, it''s impossible!" Stanford Rex smiled unchanged, and calmly said: "Mr. Andr¨¦s, if I were you, I would not say anything too much." "If you don''t sell the company to us, do you expect the Rockefeller Consortium to protect you?" Duane Andres, who had just sat down, stood up again as if his buttocks were on fire when he heard this. He and Stanford Rex looked at each other for a long time, after letting his confused thoughts clear out a little, he sat down slowly again. "I don''t know what you are talking about. With the size of our company, you cannot bring us down. I don''t need to rely on other forces." Duane Andres said slowly, not acknowledging Stanford Rex''s words in the least. Although one of his hearts had sunk to the bottom, he still had a glimmer of hope, guessing that Stanford Rex was deceiving him. But it''s a pity. He guessed wrong! Stanford Rex looked at Duane Andres and said teasingly, "Mr. Andres, that''s not what you and your son said." "You also installed other monitoring equipment there?" Duane Andres said angrily, staring at Stanford Rex. The latter did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Guess?" This made Duane Andres even more angry. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down as much as possible. "The equity is in my hands, I can sell it to whomever I want to sell." "In America, your Polaris consortium cannot cover the sky with one hand!" Stanford Reckstein said flatly: "Yes, we really can''t compare to the Rockefeller Consortium." "But your behavior makes our boss angry!" "The Andres family can really hold on without Darnell." "but!" "What if you go in too?" When he said the last sentence, Stanford Rex sneered and stared coldly at Duane Andres. The threat is undoubtedly revealed! This once again stimulated Duane Andres. He suppressed the panic in his heart and counterattacked pretendingly: "You can''t threaten me. You want to send me in, it''s impossible!" "impossible?" Stanford Rex had expected Duane Andres to be stiff, and he was prepared. Seeing his right hand spread, the assistant next to him immediately took out a piece of material from the briefcase. Stanford Rex took it, threw it directly onto the table, and slid in front of Duane Andres. Duane Andres glanced, his heartbeat quickened, but he didn''t have the courage to get it. "Mr. Andres, take a look, don''t be afraid, you know what you have done, and you have to face it." "At least this material, we have not yet handed over to the FBI, you still have a choice!" Stanford Rex smiled and finished, leaning on the sofa, looking at him with his arms folded. Duane Andres took a deep breath, picked up the material, opened it, and quickly scanned it. He just didn''t see it for ten seconds, his face turned pale, his teeth clenched subconsciously, and the veins on his forehead burst. Stanford Rex smiled when he saw him. At the bottom of his heart, he was amazed by the strength of the consortium, and he even found this. The content in this document is astonishing evidence that Duane Andres secretly sponsored Hongsu''s "Gorbachev Association". Hongsu and the United States are rivals. Duane Andres actually sponsored Hongsu, or sponsored organizations related to Hongsu''s top leader. This can definitely be convicted of treason! Although the purpose of his sponsorship of this organization is to enter Hongsu''s grain market, this is a reason for not being able to see the light, and it is also untenable. There are many people who do things like him. Many things are about people who don¡¯t appoint officials, and even if they are found out, money can be used to smooth the relationship in the United States. But who made him get in touch with the Polaris consortium this time, the relationship doesn''t work. The evidence is conclusive and the charges are serious. The Polaris Consortium is determined to provoke him. In the face of this charge, it is useless for the Rockefeller Consortium to intervene! This key point, Duane Andres also wanted to understand. So the more he looked down, the more desperate he became. "Mr. Andres, do you think these things are enough to send you to prison?" "Do you think your son will come out first, or will you come out first?" "What did your Andres family look like at that time?" "What will the adm company look like?" Every word of Stanford Rex pierced Duane Andres'' heart with a sharp knife. "So, let''s talk about how to sell the equity in your family''s hands." This time, although Duane Andres'' eyes were cracking and his body was shaking with anger, his mouth squirmed and he couldn''t say anything to refuse. In the face of this threat, he lost any room for resistance, and he could only be slaughtered by the Polaris consortium. "Da da da¡­" Except for breathing in the office, there is just the sound of clocks beating. The sound became louder and louder, as if thunder, concussed in Duane Andres'' mind. I don''t know how long it took. Duane Andres did not grasp the document in his hands, and fell to the ground, awakening him and breaking the silence. "1.36 billion U.S. dollars can be sold to you, but I have some requirements, and you must agree to them." Duane Andres said in a hoarse voice. "Put the price aside before you talk, you first state your request." Stanford Rex smiled and said, taking the absolute initiative, he wouldn''t let Duane Andres take advantage. Duane Andres did not fight on the price first, but stated the request. "First, my son Darnell must come out safely." "Second, eliminate all evidence about us." Stanford Rex thought for a while and replied: "Darnell has gone in. It is very difficult to fish out again. We must find someone else to take responsibility. This requires us to pay a great price." "As for your criminal clues, there are a lot of them, and it will cost a lot to completely erase them." Duane Andres sneered: "I know what''s inside. It''s not expensive and can''t deceive me." "I believe you can do these things easily." "If it can be done, all of my equity will be sold to you at a price of 1.36 billion U.S. dollars." Stanford Rex sneered and shook his head: "Your price is too high." "Adm''s manipulation of food prices will definitely be dealt with. At that time, the Ministry of Justice will issue a ticket for sky-high prices." "The Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Customs will issue high-priced fines for Brazilian soybean inspections if problems occur, not to mention that there will be a series of bad influences that will cause huge losses to adm." "The equity in your hand is no longer worth the price." "Five hundred million dollars, buy the equity in your hands." "impossible!" Duane Andres'' veins violently burst, his chest exploded. This price is definitely an insult. Does the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture issue sky-high fines? The adm company is really going to get into the hands of the Polaris consortium, and they have some ways to solve the problem in an anticipatory manner. Especially for the 200,000 tons of soybeans, whether there is any problem in the detection, the Polaris consortium is completely controllable, Duane Andres can''t believe it, there will be sky-high fines. As for the control of food prices, whether it is a fine of 100,000 US dollars or tens of millions of US dollars, this will not escape the control of the Polaris consortium. But having said that, Duane Andres has no room for resistance. By the time he agreed to continue the conversation, his attitude was already obvious. So next. Neither involved professional negotiators, and negotiated with Stanford Rex and Duane Andres. The price of Duane Andres has dropped to a billion dollars. On the same day, when the negotiations were suspended, Duane Andres went to the FBI again to discuss with his son Darnell. In the face of such a desperate situation, Darnell could only admit his death and persuade his father to compromise. The next day, the two parties negotiated again. In the end, Duane Andres completely compromised and was willing to sell all the 67.9% of the adm company''s equity in his hand at a price of 800 million US dollars. This price is definitely fake. But Duane Andres can only comfort himself. If he doesn''t compromise, he might really die in jail. At that time, the adm company still cannot escape the fate of being eaten. Now it can get 800 million US dollars, and the Andres family still has the capital to make a comeback. Soon, the two parties completed the transaction, and Polaris Capital became the owner of adm. When the news came out, many people lamented the efficiency of the Polaris consortium, and secretly lamented that they were ruthless. Of course, Xia Yu didn''t pay attention to all this. He only knows that if adm is in hand, then his global food industry layout has the most critical link! v3 Chapter 1430: Global seed industry leader After taking the stake in the Andres family, Polaris Capital has a 90.3% stake in ADM. In the face of this shareholding ratio, other small shareholders have no room for resistance. Faced with the acquisition issued by Polaris Capital, they all accepted it with interest. In just two days, all the remaining 9.7% equity was acquired, and Polaris Capital completed its 100% control of ADM. It cost a total of 1.584.25 million U.S. dollars. This is an international large-scale trading giant with total assets of US$4.579 billion and net assets of US$2.005 billion. After completing the acquisition, Xia Yu began to solve other hidden dangers and fulfilled the agreement by the way. The first is the FBI. The charge was placed on an employee. Darnell Andres was taken out. After the procedure was completed, he would be fined at most with a small fine. Of course, the benefits gained from manipulating food prices have entered ADM''s pockets after all, so in the end ADM will be fined, but the fines will definitely be kept to a minimum. More importantly, if I was punished this time, all the previous crimes will be settled. For ADM, it is a good thing to eliminate huge hidden dangers, lest it will be targeted by a consortium of the same size in the future. of. The Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Customs have also completed a comprehensive inspection of all imported 200,000 tons of Brazilian soybeans. No problems were found and they were approved for entry. ¡­ "Chairman, this is the latest work report from Swire Agriculture Group." In Hong Kong Kowloon, Huo Jianning entered Xia Yu''s office and took the report submitted below. After Xia Yu took it, he scanned it carefully, then picked up the pen and wrote on it for a few minutes. Then he pushed it to Huo Jianning again, and said with a faint smile: "Jianning, follow my instructions and let Swire Agriculture Group make some adjustments." "The U.S. has already acquired ADM, and we can reach a strategic cooperation with that. ADM can''t help much with rice, but for crops such as oil crops, corn and wheat, ADM is much stronger than Taikoo Agricultural Group. After the cooperation is reached, many detours can be avoided." "Now Taikoo Agriculture Group can take a step further, and be bolder." Huo Jianning picked up the materials, glanced at it, and nodded in response: "Understand, I will convey your meaning." Xia Yu nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "By the way, where did you collect the information on the global seed field that you collected here?" "Chairman, the various regions have already submitted the materials, and the secretariat is still refining and integrating these materials, and they will definitely be available tomorrow." Huo Jianning had already understood the situation before he came, so the answers were flowing at this time. "Okay, let''s talk about it tomorrow." ¡­ The next day, the weather was relatively poor and Xiangjiang was enveloped by heavy rain. Xia Yu didn''t go out at all, and let someone deliver the integrated information to his home. Using the space of funny baby, he read these materials. In fact, Swire Agricultural Group and ADM not only operate the cultivation and sales of agricultural and sideline products, but also have seed breeding departments. After all, these two companies have been in these fields for seven to eighty years or even hundreds of years. As long as the operators do not have a brain, they will improve the industrial chain layout. but! After all, Swire Agricultural Group and ADM are not professional seed companies. The two companies may be top-notch in a certain variety, but they cannot be top-notch in seed breeding and improvement of all crops. Therefore, we can only purchase seeds from the top seed companies in the world to ensure sufficient competitiveness. Currently. The world''s largest seed company is the American Pioneer Seed Company, which was founded in 1926 by Henry Wallett, the father of American corn hybrids. After 60 years of development, Pioneer Seed Company has developed into the world''s largest hybrid corn seed development and sales company. Its global corn seed planting area has reached nearly 300 million mu, accounting for 22% of the global corn planting area. In the global seed market, Pioneer Seed''s hybrid corn seed share reached 43%. In addition to corn seeds, Pioneer Seeds also sells large amounts of soybeans, sorghum, sunflower, and alfalfa seeds. Among them, soybean seeds account for one-quarter of the US market and sorghum seeds account for one-sixth. For this company, Xia Yu knew that before the millennium, later generations were acquired by the DuPont consortium for $7.7 billion and merged into DuPont, which caused a huge sensation at the time. The second place is Monsanto, the notorious company of later generations. This company attaches great importance to the research and development and cultivation of genetically modified seeds, and ranks first in the world in terms of seed genetically modified technology. Monsanto¡¯s seed business mainly consists of cotton, soybean and corn seeds, and is the main competitor of Pioneer Seed in the US market. In later generations, Monsanto was acquired by the German Bayer company. The transaction amount felt to be 63 billion US dollars, which is definitely a sky-high price! The third place in the world is the Limagrain Seed Company in France. This company was founded in 1942 and is mainly engaged in the field of vegetable seeds. It is currently the world''s number one vegetable seed company. The fourth largest in the world is Novartis, a pharmaceutical giant in Switzerland. They also have strong strength in the seed field, and their main business is also vegetable seeds. The world''s fifth largest seed company is St. Niss, Mexico''s largest seed company. The company''s main seed business is fruit and vegetable seeds, of which vegetable seeds account for one-fifth of the world market. In addition to these companies. Swedish Astra Company, British Zelican Company, Royal Dutch Van der Haaf Group, American Selling Kegen Company, Cargill Company, French Louis Dreyfus Company, Danish Seed Company, American Great Lakes Seed Company, Bunge Company, West Germany Internationally renowned seed companies, such as Bayer and Delta Seed, have all collected information. As for the later generations of seed giants such as Swiss Syngenta, Edvarta, Dow Chemical Company, and German BASF, they all evolved after the merger of these companies. Now the global seed market, like the bulk trade market, is still in a state of healthy competition and development, and has not entered the stage of malicious mergers and acquisitions. For this reason, there are still many players in the seed market around the world, and there is also a lot of room for acquisition options. but! In fact, if you want to create a global seed hegemon and completely reinforce the agricultural bulk trade industrial chain, the range of options is really small. Needless to say, Pioneer Seed Company, the world''s No. 1 seed company, although it has a great reputation, its seed sales last year was less than 700 million U.S. dollars! With Xia Yu''s strength, eating it is like sprinkling water. Secondly, Monsanto, the overlord of genetically modified technology, cannot be spared. The company''s turnover in the seed field last year was only 577 million U.S. dollars. Genetically modified agricultural technology is the mainstream trend of American agriculture in the future. It cannot be avoided. Holding it is holding the development artery of the industry. More importantly, instead of allowing Monsanto to harm the mainland in the hands of others, it is better to be caught in his hands to harm other countries so as not to harm the mainland. As long as Pioneer Seed Corporation and Monsanto Corporation win, both soybeans and corn will occupy more than half of the world market, and they will firmly occupy the dominant position. And it can also fully enter the industry''s first-class camp on the seeds of cotton, wheat, sorghum, sunflower, linseed and other crops. Then there is the Delta Seed Company of the United States, the world''s largest cotton seed company, and it will also take the three companies together, and the cotton seed market can also occupy more than half of the world. Xia Yu finally focused on Limagrain in France and Saint Nis Seed in Mexico. These two are the giants of vegetables and melon seeds, one in the world and the other in the world. As long as the two are taken and merged together, they will be firmly established in the field of vegetables and melon seeds. Hegemony, far surpassing Swiss Novartis. It is not that Xia Yu looks down on Novartis, but it is unlikely that this company will be acquired, even if it is only a seed business. After all, Swiss Novartis is a global pharmaceutical giant, and its seed business is just a small part of it. Swiss Novartis is also controlled by a European consortium and is one of the leading companies in the European pharmaceutical field. Where can it be acquired so easily? Therefore, Xia Yu can only retreat and choose Mexico''s Sannis Seed Company. But this is also good. The French company Limagrain and the Mexican company Saint Niss are located on two continents, and there is not much overlap in the business area. If they can be merged, the reinforcement effect will be better. As long as these five companies can be acquired, and the seed businesses of ADM and Swire Agricultural Group can be divested and merged, then it is absolutely possible to create a global seed hegemon with no shortcomings. Don''t hesitate, the very generous Xia Yu immediately gave instructions to let the Polaris Consortium and the Bright Consortium act separately. The Polaris Consortium is responsible for the acquisition of American Pioneer Seed Company, Monsanto Company and American Delta Seed Company. These three companies are all located in the United States. With the energy of the Polaris Consortium, the acquisition is easier and quicker. The Bright Consortium is responsible for the acquisition of Limagrain in France and Saint Nis Seed in Mexico. The acquisition is progressing smoothly as Xia Yu expected. In the absence of other competitors, the money cleared the way, and it was not used for a month, and all five seed companies were acquired. UU reading The cumulative cost is 3.27 billion US dollars. After the five companies were acquired, Swire Agricultural Group and ADM also divested their seed business and merged directly into a seed company. Xia Yu named it-Earth Agriculture Group. Once the news was announced, the global agricultural market was shaken, and the major seed companies were all scared to death. Almost every seed company¡¯s boss has the idea of ??merging in his mind, because with their current strength, they simply cannot compete head-on with the Earth Agriculture Group. It is foreseeable that in the next few years, the global seed field will usher in tremendous changes. But no matter what, Xia Yu took the lead. Even if these seed companies merge with each other, it is unlikely that they want to merge into a giant of the same size. It is very likely to form a pattern of one super and multiple powers. However, the next thing, his own shrewd subordinates will deal with it, he is only responsible for the top-level strategy... v3 Chapter 1431: Li Wei "The next player on the field is a gymnast from the mainland, Li Wei who has the title of''World Gymnastics Prince''!" "In this Asian Games, he has already won 2 individual gold medals and 1 team gold medal, and now he is making an impact on the fourth gold medal!" "..." In Xia Yu''s home, there was a slightly passionate commentary on TV. Xia Yu and his family, who was carrying the baby, couldn''t help but pay more attention. From September 20th to October 5th this year, the 10th Asian Games was held in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. According to statistics, a total of 4,797 officials and athletes from 27 countries and regions participated, and athletes competed for 269 gold medals in 25 events. From the end of September to the beginning of October, Xiangjiang did not have any large-scale entertainment activities. In addition, under the leadership of Xia Yu in the past few years, the atmosphere of Xiangjiang advocating sports has been on the rise. This time, Xiangjiang also sent the strongest lineup ever to participate in the Asian Games. Therefore, Global Satellite TV won the broadcasting rights of the Asian Games and created an atmosphere, which made the people of Hong Kong pay great attention to the Asian Games. Elena and others who are idle at home will naturally watch the Asian Games and eliminate some of the irritability of bringing a baby for a long time. Global Satellite TV is Xia Yu''s. In the case that Longmen did not exclude the delegation, Global Satellite TV''s attention is of course inclined to the Xiangjiang delegation and the mainland delegation. In the live broadcast, the commentator often mentions the historical performance of the athletes in the competition. So after watching the games for so many days, Elena and others will naturally know that Li Wei is one of the most outstanding athletes in the mainland. In the past three gymnastics competitions of men''s team, individual all-around and floor exercise, Li Wei has won gold medals and is currently ranked second in the individual gold medal list, second only to India''s sprint queen Usha. Of course, if Li Wei wins another gold medal in this ring game, he will be tied for the first place in the gold medal list with Usha. With such a background, coupled with Li Wei''s popularity, the ratings of this game are extremely high! "My dear, do you think Li Wei will be able to win this ring gold medal?" Sumitomo Kumiko hugged his daughter Siqi, and blinked and asked Xia Yu. "It''s definitely possible to take it off. The ring is his strong point. Now the International Sports Federation has several difficult moves named after him." "Didn''t the newspapers a few days ago even wrote a smashing headline, "As long as Li Wei comes out, even if God arrives at the gymnasium, he can only win, not lose." "Ha ha¡­¡­" Xia Yu said with a smile, his gaze returned to the TV screen again. really. Li Wei directly used his unique skills, scored a super high score, and pulled the second place far away. Ten minutes later... "Li Zhuo won. With an absolute advantage, after the 9th Asian Games in 1982, he once again won the gold medal in the ring project!" "In this Asian Games, Li Wei won 3 individual gold medals and 1 team gold medal. With 4 gold medals, he tied for first place with Indian sprint queen Usha!" An agitated voice came from the TV. Xia Yu and others all smiled. After that, it was naturally the awarding session. The five-star red flag was raised, the national anthem played, and the staff presented him with awards. Even if Xia Yu saw this picture, he was still very emotional. just. After seeing Li Wei wearing the gold medal, the mark on his chest made Xia Yu frowned subconsciously. "My dear, what''s the matter?" Li Qian, who happened to be watching Xia Yu, discovered Xia Yu''s abnormality and asked with concern. "I just saw the game uniforms of the mainland national team. The logo on it is from Nike, USA." Xia Yu stretched her brows and said slowly, but thought about it in her heart. In the field of sports, he really lacks a sports goods company. Although there is Nanshan Health Technology Company in the field of sports equipment, it mainly focuses on sports equipment, but has not set foot in sports goods such as clothing and footwear. The well-known marathon chain stores in Asia are only retailers of sports goods, not manufacturers. Recall that the costumes of Hong Kong¡¯s participating delegations were sponsored by Umbro, which is the most famous sportswear brand in the UK. Dignified China, with a vast market of one billion people, does not have a decent sportswear brand. This is indeed unreasonable. Xia Yu looked at the TV screen again, just in time to see the figure of Li Wei who was about to disappear after he left the court, and he couldn''t help narrowing his eyes. On October 5, the Seoul Asian Games officially concluded. And this time the Asian Games, the gold medal was almost taken by the mainland, South Korea and the island countries. Among them, the mainland won 94 gold medals, 82 silver medals, and 48 bronze medals, totaling 222. Both the number of gold medals and the number of medals ranked first. Next is the organizer South Korea, which won 92 gold medals, 55 silver medals, 74 bronze medals, a total of 221. The number of gold medals and the total number of medals are both second, and the deviation is not large. You don''t need to think that Koreans are very uncomfortable. The third island country won 58 gold medals, 76 silver medals, and 77 bronze medals, totaling 211. The number of gold medals and the total number of medals ranked third. It is worth mentioning that Xiangjiang won 4 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 5 bronze medals. Ranked sixth in the gold medal list and ninth in the total medal list respectively! This is a historic achievement. It has not lived up to the contributions made by Xia Yu, Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang to sports, and it has not failed the Hong Kong government''s inclination of resources in the field of sports over the years. Of course. After the Xiangjiang team returned to Xiangjiang, they enjoyed the supreme glory. In order to further stimulate the sports feelings of the people of Hong Kong, under Xia Yu''s instructions, the Hong Kong government came forward to present wreaths and bonuses to athletes who had returned. Gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal winners will be awarded 200,000, 100,000 and 50,000 bonuses respectively. The bonus is not unreasonable! This huge bonus not only stimulated the athletes, but also changed the public''s perception of athletes. It is foreseeable that more people will enter the sports field in the future. The 4 gold medals will not be the peak, but will be a new starting point. And just when Xiangjiang was celebrating. After returning to the mainland from Seoul, Li Wei, who received the award from the leaders of the sports department, was led by Wei Min, deputy director of the National Sports Commission and head of the participating delegation, and hurriedly boarded the plane south to Pengcheng, Guangdong Province. The two of them went to Xiangjiang non-stop before taking a break in Pengcheng. Of course, it was Liu Zhihe, the head of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, who led Wei Min and Li Zhu to Xiangjiang. When the ship was crossing the sea, Li Wei, who was only 23 years old, had his head buzzing. I don''t know how sacred Mr. Xia was mentioned in Weimin and Liu Zhihekou nearly a hundred times. For him, Wei Min and Liu Zhihe are both extremely high-level leaders, but now that Mr. Xia from Xiangjiang mentioned that he wanted to meet him, they asked the two leaders to take him to Xiangjiang. In fact, don''t talk about him, even Wei Min, as the deputy director of the International Sports Commission, is still a little confused at this time. He is male, even if he has entered the political arena now and reached the top of the sports department, he is still very closed in terms of news, and he does not know the energy of Xia Yu. But to be able to let the above speak, this trip is an important political task, he must be very careful and fully cooperate. Such a heavy tone gave him tremendous pressure. "Director Liu, tell me again, who is this Mr. Xia sacred?" "What the **** did he find for Li Zhao this time?" Wei Min asked Liu Zhihe for advice again. Liu Zhihe solemnly said to him, "Director Wei, Mr. Xia''s identity is very complicated, let me just say a few words." "In Xiangjiang, he speaks very well, and the Governor of Hong Kong has to listen to him." "He is also the most outstanding Chinese in the world, and the most reliable friend of our party. His influence overseas can rival the president of a country. He is also a guest of leaders from Britain, France and the United States." "He has made a huge historical contribution to our country." "Do you understand it?" Weimin''s eyes widened subconsciously swallowed, but he was a little scared, and said anxiously: "Director Liu, this Mr. Xia is so strong, will he have a temper?" Seeing that Weimin was frightened, Liu Zhihe''s expression loosened and a smile appeared, and he said: "You can rest assured that Mr. Xia has a good temper, and I am here, so you don''t need to have any pressure. After talking to Weimin, Liu Zhihe also kindly said to the bewildered Li Wei: "Li Wei, so are you, don¡¯t be pressured. Mr. Xia called to see you. This is a privilege. There are one billion people in the country. A few can make Mr. Xia pay attention, this is definitely an opportunity that can change your life for you." "Oh, okay." Li Wei nodded hurriedly. Liu Zhihe couldn''t help laughing when he saw him. He was also guessing in his heart, why Xia Yu wanted to see Li Wei by name. And at this moment. The ship was about to dock, and Liu Zhihe didn''t have time to think about it. He asked the staff to take things and prepare to go ashore. ~: Celebrate my wifes birthday tonight, ask for a leave I was really not free to go to work during the day. I suddenly received a notice to check in tomorrow. I originally planned to write a chapter without taking a break at noon, but at noon I could only work overtime. After get off work at six o''clock in the afternoon, I rushed out of the county to get cakes and buy things to celebrate my wife¡¯s birthday. Apart from the parents, the world is big and the wife is the biggest. We have to agree with our words and deeds. Not to mention that the wedding hasn''t been held, and then I don''t care about her anymore. That won''t work, it will take a lifetime. Please forgive me, everyone rest early "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero" celebrates my wife¡¯s birthday tonight, take a leave and is hitting, please wait a moment, After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1432: Donate 500 million sprinklers "Mr. Xia, it''s been a long time since I saw you, I''m here to bother again!" "Director Liu, you are too far-sighted." "These two are?" After shaking hands with Liu Zhihe to greet him kindly, Xia Yu looked at the two people who were one position behind him. One of them, Xia Yu, naturally knew that it was Li Lan, who had been seen on TV a few days ago. As for the other, Xia Yu was unfamiliar. Although he watched the game, he didn''t pay too much attention to the opening and closing ceremonies, and he had an eye for Weimin, the head of the delegation. "Mr. Xia, let me introduce to you." "This is Wei Min. He is currently the deputy director of the National Sports Commission and the head of the Seoul Asian Games delegation this time." "Mr. Xia, hello, I am Weimin, I am honored to be able to visit you!" Wei Min bent down, lowered his posture, and said hello to Xia Yu. Xia Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to him, who immediately wiped his hand and held it. "Director Wei, hello, welcome to you!" "thanks, thanks!" Weimin smiled and said two thank you, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. At this time, Liu Zhihe wanted to introduce Li Wei to Xia Yu again, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "This one doesn''t need to be introduced, I know." "Mr. Li Wei, right? I watched your game at the Seoul Asian Games. I praised my Chinese prowess. The game was very exciting." Li Wei was flattered and hurried over to say hello to Xia Yu respectfully: "Mr. Xia, if you look so high, I just try my best to play and do my job well, so as not to shame the country." "Being able to do your job well is already very valuable." A look of appreciation flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and Li Zhuo''s humility and emotional intelligence made him take a high look. People who have both ability and emotional intelligence have important conditions for success. As long as they wait for opportunities, they will naturally take advantage of the wind. "Thank you Mr. Xia for the compliment!" Li Zhu humbly thanked again. Xia Yu smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, come in and sit down." After all, Xia Yu led everyone to the villa. This villa is not the one where he lives with his family, but the one specially used for reception. It is not a very close and important friend. He will not take it home, not to mention the current family members. There is so much, there is no need to increase the burden on the family. As the biggest landlord in Xiangjiang, he is not bad for a villa! Soon, everyone came to the living room. The large coffee table in the living room had already placed various fruits on the table, and the servant who had been waiting immediately began to make tea. "Mr. Xia, before coming, the leader specifically explained to me and asked me to say hello to you." "Also entrust me to bring you a letter." "Also let me tell you that if you are free, you can visit the mainland more." Just after taking his seat, Liu Zhihe immediately took out a letter from his bag, held it in both hands, and solemnly handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu glanced at it, smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, I will take a closer look. Thank you for your concern." After receiving the letter, Xia Yu got up and went to the closet, put the letter on purpose, and then returned to the sofa. Xia Yu once again set his sights on Wei Min and talked about the Asian Games with a faint smile: "Director Wei, I have watched a lot of the Asian Games this time, and I have to say that the athletes in mainland China are more outstanding." "I remember the last time the mainland officially surpassed the island country in the gold medal list and became the No. 1 sports power in Asia. This Asian Games once again opened the gap with the island country." "Of course, although the gap between South Korea and the mainland is very small, this is a special case. As the host country, it must be another matter. If the mainland is used to host the Asian Games, I don''t think South Korea will be able to catch up with the mainland." As the host country, South Korea has a lot of power in the order of the competition and the competition. It must be how it has an advantage over South Korea. Good results are inevitable! Weimin said with a serious face: "Mr. Xia''s evaluation is very pertinent. Since the reform and opening up, the above has paid more and more attention to sports. We also believe that in the future, our position as a sports power in Asia will become more and more stable." "Especially the next Asian Games will be held in the National Capital. In April last year, the National Capital Asian Organizing Committee was established. The above is already preparing for the best results. It is more than our style and the spirit of China. ." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Sure." Before Liu Zhihe and others came, he did understand that the Asian Games will be held at the Guodu Workers Stadium four years later. This is also the first comprehensive international sports competition held by the mainland, and there is no relevant experience before. It can be said that the above attaches great importance to it. It is intended to use this Asian Games as a platform and window to show the world the results of mainland reform and opening up. , To re-establish the image of a big country in the international arena. Xia Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Weimin, and finally looked at Liu Zhihe, and said to him: "For the motherland to be able to host such a grand event, I also hope that I can make a little effort to make a little contribution to the spiritual civilization of the motherland." "I don''t have talent, but I can still come up with some money and some resources." "If there is any need, you can tell me that I will do my best to help, such as hardware facilities construction, athlete protection, etc., to provide a better training environment for athletes." "In addition, I happen to have a sports equipment company. I will make a list below and provide some training equipment at that time." "Here, I make a statement, the total value will not be less than 500 million Hong Kong dollars." This is definitely a surprise, the super big pie from the sky smashed on several people''s heads. After Liu Zhihe and Wei Min reacted, they were greatly excited and hurriedly thanked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your generosity. I will convey your meaning to the above as soon as possible." Faced with their gratitude, Xia Yu just smiled lightly. It''s only 500 million Hong Kong dollars, for him it''s just sprinkling water. He made this decision on a whim. The most important thing is to make him feel comfortable. It is hard to buy a daughter to be happy. Anyway, the money he makes in the mainland far exceeds this figure. It is taken from the people, and some of them are used for the people, which is very good. . Xia Yu didn''t stay too much on this matter, and finally set his eyes on Li Zhuo. He looked at his palm specially. Although there was no ointment applied there, the traces of the ointment could be clearly seen. "Li Wei, I remember that in 1982 and 1984, you achieved excellent results in the Olympics and World Gymnastics competitions. This time the Seoul Asian Games, you reported fewer events. Do you have any plans to retire?" Faced with this problem, Li Zhuo didn''t know whether he should follow his heart, and subconsciously looked at Weimin. Wei Min joked: "Li Wei, Mr. Xia cares about you, so you can report to Mr. Xia truthfully, don''t look at me." Li Zhuo was certain in his heart and said truthfully: "Mr. Xia, I have this plan. I will retire after this Asian Games." "I am 23 years old. In gymnastics, my age is quite large. My ability has passed the peak period. Coupled with these years of training and competition, I have suffered a lot of injuries, which has led to a decline in the level of competition." "For the next game, I don''t have the confidence to win, so I plan to make way for the young people behind." Hearing what Li Wei said, even though Weimin had already prepared, he still couldn''t help sighing secretly. He knows that within the Sports Commission, he hopes that Li Zhuo can continue to compete on behalf of the country. For the Asian Games in the national capital four years later, Li Wei was 27 years old at that time, which may not be realistic. However, in the Seoul Olympics two years later, the Sports Commission hopes that Li Wei will represent the men''s gymnastics team again. After all, men¡¯s gymnastics has indeed failed due to various reasons in recent years. Therefore, Li Wei¡¯s application for retirement has not yet been approved by the Sports Commission. But now Xia Yu took the initiative to ask, and Li Hao also stated his wishes. Then he must seriously consider Xia Yu''s attitude. This face must be given. Xia Yu also understands Li Yu¡¯s past life. In 1988, due to injuries, his competitive level dropped, he made serious mistakes in the game, and the national expectations were shattered. His title of ¡°Prince of Gymnastics¡± became ¡°Death of Gymnastics¡±. Son" has been attacked by negative public opinion. Since he intends to build a national sportswear brand, if he knows the drawbacks of this matter, if he does not interfere, it is too unreasonable. This is also the reason why he took the initiative to ask this question about Li Zhao. "You have a good understanding of this. National sports does not depend on one person, but on a system that continuously cultivates talents. The emphasis is on inheritance." "There is still time, and it is still achievable to rediscover and train successors." "After all, there are more than one billion people in the motherland, and there will definitely be many talents." Xia Yu said with a smile. When speaking, Xia Yu gave Wei Min a special look. The latter immediately understood, and hurriedly opened his eyes and said nonsense: "What Mr. Xia said is that our sports committee also has plans in this regard to further explore and cultivate talents." Xia Yu looked at Li Lan again and asked, "Li Lan, what are your plans after you retire?" Li Wei hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don''t have any plans yet, so I plan to think about it carefully." Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a faint smile: "Regardless of whether you retire or not, as a representative of the mainland sports world, you really have to continue to use your light and passion to contribute to the country''s sports cause." "Mr. Xia is right instructively." Li Wei said hurriedly. "By the way, Director Wei, Li Zhuo''s portrait rights and related powers are on the sports committee''s side, right?" Xia Yu finally raised this question lightly. Wei Min immediately said, "Yes, they are all there." This is determined by the system. The state has trained Li Zhu since he was a child. He has been trained since he was eight years old and enjoyed the training of the state. The power is indeed handled by the state. "In this way, when I was watching TV a few days ago, I found that the sports delegations in the mainland were wearing sportswear sponsored by Nike, and the mainland could not produce decent clothing." "It just happened to have sentiment that I intend to fill this shortcoming for the mainland and set up a special sportswear company, but the name has not yet been decided." "The name of the company should be called Li Lan. Li Lan''s portrait rights and other commercial rights are all left to me, can''t you?" "After Li Zhao retired, he simply came to work in our company." After Xia Yu finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Wei Min and Li Lan. The former was shocked, and the latter was a look of consternation. But soon, Wei Min reacted and said hurriedly, "Mr. Xia, there is no problem." "Mr. Xia, I don''t have any comments, thank you for considering me!" Li Zhao stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Xia Yu. The thought that sportswear with his own name would be sold nationwide, and that athletes might wear it in all national competitions in the future, Li Wei became more and more excited. For him, this is definitely a great honor that has never been imagined. "That''s OK, I will let the people below do other things, and I will strive to make this brand a banner of the country and even the world''s sportswear brand." "Foreign moons are not more round!" In the last sentence, several people were shocked. Especially Liu Zhihe, UU read subconsciously clenched his fists, and he would definitely convey what Xia Yu said. After all, he is very clear that there is a strange atmosphere in the heart in the country, and he advocates Europe and America. Many people think that the moon in Europe and America is rounder than the mainland. Some people above think so, even if many bigwigs want to change the trend, they can''t help it. But considering Xia Yu''s lofty status overseas, his words, a benchmark for overseas Chinese, will definitely affect many people if they are passed back to the mainland. Later, Xia Yu arranged a lunch to entertain everyone, and by the way also called the two heads of Xinhua News Agency''s Xiangjiang Branch and President Ma of Xiangjiang Bank of China. In the afternoon of the same day, Xia Yu went home to be with his family. The Kyushu Industry Group naturally took care of the establishment of the Li Lan Sports Company. Regarding the donation, Xia Yu also made arrangements, and he would naturally implement it when he stated his position. : I''m sorry, there are a lot of words, so it''s a bit late v3 Chapter 1433: Li Jiacheng being targeted October is a very turbulent month. This month, the mainland fell two big stars one after another, so that only two of the top ten champions were alive. It can be said that the fall of the two great generals has had a huge impact on the interior of the mainland, and Xia Yu also specially called for condolences. One reason for not going there in person is that the current internal situation in the mainland is very complicated. If he, a big capitalist, runs over, he will definitely be dazzling. Even if his relationship is already very strong, there are always people who look down on him. After all It''s only 1986! The other reason is also very important. Over there, his father-in-law, Duke Carter Howard, came to Xiangjiang to visit his daughter and nephew, and he planned to stay in Xiangjiang for a period of time. As a son-in-law, Xia Yu naturally wanted to entertain the old man. Therefore, he didn''t have any thoughts of going out, and he directly stopped any thoughts of leaving Xiangjiang in the near future. Just when Xia Yu lived a comfortable life in Xiangjiang. At Heathrow International Airport in the United Kingdom, Li Jiacheng, who has received less and less attention from Xia Yu, was picked up by a team of black luxury cars after getting off the plane. The destination was the location of the London branch of the Yangtze River Industrial Group. On the way to the London branch of the Cheung Kong Group, apart from Li Jiacheng and his eldest son Li Zekai, there was a driver and an Englishman in the middle car. This Englishman is one of Li Jiacheng''s left and right arms, Ma Shimin, who serves as a director of the Cheung Kong Group''s board of directors and also serves as the company''s general manager! After retiring from the military, Ma Shimin joined the Jardine Matheson and worked for more than ten years. Until the Jardine consortium was acquired by Xia Yugui, Ma Shimin resigned and left, was hired by Li Jiacheng, and hired him as the general manager of the Cheung Kong Industrial Group. A few months ago, he was entrusted by Li Jiacheng and came to London, England to establish a branch of Cheung Kong Holdings, and served as the president of the branch, undertaking the most important international expansion of the group. However, this time, he encountered a huge setback, so that Li Jiacheng had to personally rush over from Xiangjiang, check the situation on the spot, and find a solution. Therefore, in the car, Ma Shimin looked guilty and apologized to Li Jiacheng: "Chairman, I am sorry that I let you down." Without knowing the real situation, Li Jiacheng did not blame him, but directly asked about the situation. "Shimin, tell me, what problems have you encountered and how is the status of the company?" Ma Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained the situation. "Chairman, before I came, I just thought it would not be too difficult, but the acquisition procedure would be more cumbersome." "Later I discovered that the London real estate market is very large, with many commercial buildings and residential buildings. It is not as active as Hong Kong in real estate transactions, but as long as it is a project we want to acquire, there will definitely be competitors." "In the beginning, we thought it was a coincidence, so we spent more money on the acquisition of the previous property projects and lost several million pounds." "But later, we reacted. Behind it was a huge black hand in control of all this. The owner of this black hand had amazing energy, so that our company''s business development was difficult." "I have been trying my best to investigate the man behind the scenes, but I can''t find out so far." "Now, the atmosphere of the company is not very good. The turnover rate of employees is relatively high. At the same time, the remaining employees are also shrouded in pessimism. I am trying my best to maintain..." After listening to Ma Shimin''s narration, Li Jiacheng looked heavy. He helped hold the glasses that were a little slippery, and the power pattern of Xiangjiang that he had understood appeared in his mind. The names of families and consortia flashed in his mind, and his brows frowned unconsciously. Because he couldn''t think of who he had offended, after all, it was the first time his Cheung Kong Group entered the UK. Even if I competed with some people in Xiangjiang before, but those people were not strong enough, they couldn''t beat him in Xiangjiang, let alone in the UK! If Ma Shimin can''t investigate the situation, then the enemy must be the top class in Britain! This makes him helpless. With the increasing competition in Xiangjiang and the smaller and smaller development environment, going out of Xiangjiang is his strategy, and going to the UK is also an important strategy he has carefully considered. This step must be successful, otherwise the future of the Cheung Kong Industrial Group will become more bleak and the ceiling will be lower and lower. Who is this behind the scenes? What is the purpose of the behind-the-scenes criminals targeting the Cheung Kong Holdings Group? How to do? Who will be able to complete the break? This series of questions didn''t have any thoughts until he arrived at the company''s premises, making his mind messed up. Therefore, he can only take a break after eating and resting at noon. Under the leadership of Ma Shimin in the afternoon, he can walk around the property projects he has acquired to get a deeper understanding of the situation. In the next week, Li Jiacheng searched for people who could be found, and also personally conducted the acquisition of two property projects. But as Ma Shimin said, he was surrounded by invisible barriers, unable to break through. When he was upset, Ma Shimin rushed to his office. "Chairman, the black hand behind the scenes may have appeared!" Ma Shimin walked into Li Jiacheng''s office, holding something like an invitation in his hand, his face was very serious, and his tone of voice was heavy. Li Jiacheng stood up abruptly: "Shimin, who is it?" "Chairman, you can see it after reading it." Before Ma Shimin could breathe smoothly, he handed the invitation in his hand to Li Jiacheng. Li Jiacheng took it immediately and found that it was a very exquisite invitation, full of ancient and noble charm in workmanship and patterns. When he opened the invitation, the content was not a normal invitation, but a very special sentence in English. "Kensington-Chelsea, 25 Lauster Street, tomorrow night at 8 o''clock exactly, waiting for you to come." This sentence has no greetings and no title, but it can be seen that this is an invitation letter, and the basic elements such as meeting time and place are all there. Just using this description, it shows a state of arrogance and contempt. Even if Li Jiacheng is very good at raising qigong, he can''t help his breathing become thicker. Only when he saw the signed chapter he was stunned. Immediately after the negative emotions just now were all forgotten, his gaze was fixed on the inscribed word. Rothschild The Rohill family of European hegemony powers? After this idea emerged in his mind, Li Jiacheng suddenly felt tremendous pressure rushing to him from this simple word. Before he knew it, his expression became bitter and his brows furrowed tightly. "Chairman, I have confirmed that this is indeed the logo and seal of the Rohill family. In the UK, there is no other Rohill family except that one." Ma Shimin knew that Li Jiacheng understood, he couldn''t help but add. But it made Li Jiacheng''s heart more pressure. "What are they looking for me for?" v3 Chapter 1434: Li Jiacheng did it! For the purpose of being targeted by the Rothsier family, Li Jiacheng and his sons and Ma Shimin have analyzed and studied together for a long time, but they have not reached a sure conclusion. But no matter what, facing the invitation of the Rohill family, Li Jiacheng, who was in trouble, did not refuse, nor dared to refuse. So what he can do is to make full use of the more than one day until 8 o''clock tomorrow night, and do his best to prepare for the meeting. For example, make a good draft, or fully understand the situation of the Rohill family... In a blink of an eye it was the next night. Li Jiacheng, who had eaten dinner early, did not bring his son Li Zekai, and arrived at the meeting place ten minutes earlier. It was a European-style manor full of rich classical flavor. Because the invitation did not say that he could take people, he only took two bodyguards and a driver. After entering the manor and verifying the invitation, Li Jiacheng, led by a white man, entered the living room of the villa. Not long after he sat down, he heard footsteps coming from the top of the stairs. Soon, a tall white man about fifty years old appeared in his field of vision. Li Jiacheng got up and stood until the white man came to him. He took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Rohill, this is Li Jiacheng." "I know, an outstanding Chinese leader from Hong Kong." "I''m glad you can come here tonight, please sit down!" The white man said with a faint smile, and motioned for Li Jiacheng to sit down. "Thank you!" After Li Jiacheng sat down. The white man introduced himself now. "Introduce myself, my name is Evelyn Rohill." Li Jiacheng''s heart was shaken, and he hurriedly said hello again: "Mr. Evelyn Lowhill, I have heard your name. It is a great honor for me to know you." According to the information surveyed yesterday, the head of the Rohill family is Jacob Rohill. In the UK, second only to the Patriarch Jacob Lowhill is his cousin Evelyn Lowhill. This one in front of him is definitely a big figure in the decision-making level of the Rohill family. "Mr. Li Jiacheng, I asked you to come here today, mainly to chat with you." "The content of the chat may or may not be important, the key depends on your thoughts." Evelyn Lohill said with a slight smile. "Mr. Lowhill, please speak!" Li Jiacheng sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, and said solemnly. Evelyn Lohill leaned on the sofa and said softly: "You and your allies are getting worse and worse in Xiangjiang, right?" "Otherwise your company will not develop business in the UK." Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "In fact, the situation is not bad. The reason for establishing a branch in the UK is because the company has developed to a certain extent and has to develop outwards to maintain a high growth rate." After speaking, Li Jiacheng''s brain quickly turned to analyze Evelyn Roshir''s true intentions. Evelyn Rohill was not surprised to see Li Jiacheng''s hard-headed mouth. He didn''t want to go around with Li Jiacheng, and directly exploded the latter''s lies. "Mr. Li Jiacheng, you can''t lie to me, don''t forget, there is a Rothier & Sons Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong." Li Jiacheng laughed a few times, wanted to say something on the scene, but opened his mouth but didn''t know how to say it. Evelyn Lowhill continued: "In recent years, Hong Kong has become more and more prosperous, and even its gross national product has jumped to the 20th place in the world, the sixth largest economy in Asia, and one-sixth the size of the United Kingdom. More than one." "But in terms of per capita GDP, it surpasses the United Kingdom." "But it''s a pity that Xiangjiang''s prosperity has nothing to do with you. Xiangjiang belongs to the Jiuding Consortium." "Am I right?" Facing Evelyn Rohill''s sarcastic smile, Li Jiacheng did not refute it because it was a **** fact. But now, he also probably knows Evelyn Rosier''s purpose. The latter should be coveting the prosperity of Xiangjiang and the Jiuding Consortium, or he might have hatred with Xia Yu. Thinking of this, he was faintly excited. Over the years, he has been getting worse and worse, and the pace of company development has also been forced to slow down. Even at the beginning of Xia Yu''s rise, he and Xia Yu were friends, but as the Jiuding Consortium became larger and larger and controlled the endless expansion of the Hong Kong government, his relationship with Xia Yu became more and more rigid. No more. The source is that Xia Yu and others united with the Hong Kong government to strongly suppress the real estate market. Originally, the real estate market was huge and its development speed was amazing, but because of Xia Yu and the Hong Kong government, it almost directly shoveled the real estate market. Although the commercial real estate market has developed rapidly because of Xiangjiang''s growing prosperity, it has little to do with him. After all, in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu''s Jiuding consortium has the strongest strength and the strongest ability to integrate resources, and at the same time, the support of the Hong Kong government, which is also advancing and retreating, has made the most of commercial real estate into Xia Yu''s mouth. Then another group of people followed Xia Yu to eat meat and soup. For example, his Cheung Kong Industrial Group can only be ranked in the third camp. Even so, you have to face competition that is several times more difficult before, because there are more monks and less porridge! The serious weakening of residential real estate has not only hurt his Cheung Kong Group, but other real estate companies have also been hit, and their focus is shifting to commercial real estate. How can commercial real estate compare with residential real estate? Heung Kong''s commercial real estate business is long-term, relying on rent collection if it is not sold. The advantage is long-lasting, but the disadvantage is that the return of funds is slow. As a result, real estate companies are working for banks. In the real estate business, it is possible to sell uncompleted properties, and the funds can be recovered in advance, with a super high capital turnover rate, rapid expansion, and lower capital use costs. The real estate market is uncomfortable. Li Jiacheng, with his brain, wants to develop integrated business and expand in multiple fields, but this investigation found that the Jiuding Consortium has a presence in all walks of life, and almost all of them have developed to the first sequence. Even many industries are monopolized by the Jiuding Consortium! Such as electric power, telecommunications, terminals, transportation, aviation and other fields. These are all monopolized by the Jiuding Consortium, and with the situation where the Hong Kong government and the Jiuding Consortium are now wearing a pair of trousers, no one wants to break the monopoly of the Jiuding Consortium. Therefore, even if Li Jiacheng has established many companies in other fields, the development is very difficult, and there is no opportunity for development and growth in the short term. The more he understands the situation of the Jiuding Consortium, the more uncomfortable he is. Otherwise, when Xiangjiang is so prosperous, why would he escape from Xiangjiang? Don''t you expect to find another way? "Mr. Lowhill, I think with the energy of your family, the information I found should not be wrong." Li Jiacheng tried his best to calm down, nodded and said. "Then do you know that the British Bright Fund has a very close relationship with the Jiuding Consortium?" "More precisely, it has an inseparable relationship with that Xia Yu." Evelyn Lowhill threw another blockbuster. Li Jiacheng asked suspiciously: "Is it because of one of his wife?" He knew that Xia Yu had a British wife who had been serving as the vice president of the Bright Fund. But Evelyn Lohill shook his head and said, "No, no, you reversed the order." "The Bright Fund has nothing to do with Elena Howard. She was the vice president because of Xia Yu''s relationship, not the other way around. Do you understand?" "Elena Howard is the daughter of Duke Carter Howard." Li Jiacheng was stunned by these few news, and stormy waves were set off in his heart. Xia Yu has such a strong strength in Britain? He has investigated, and he knows that Bright Fund is a giant in the British financial industry, and its business scope is boundless. It is definitely the top consortium in the UK. Thinking of the inseparable relationship between the Bright Consortium and Xia Yu, Li Jiacheng couldn''t help shivering, and was about to be pressured to breathe. wrong! Is it because of this reason that the Rohill family wants to target Xia Yu? "Mr. Li Jiacheng, you said that without the friendship of our Rohill family, once the Bright Fund wants to suppress your company, who else do you think might save you?" "Who can keep your company growing?" "Once the Bright Fund wants to hunt down your company, to what extent does your company need to develop to be able to resist it?" After asking these questions in a row, Evelyn Rohill drank coffee leisurely and looked at Li Jiacheng with a slight smile on his face. He didn''t say one more word, but he believed that Li Jiacheng could understand it. After all, he only moved his hands gently, and Li Jiacheng was struggling in the UK. Tick! Tick! Time passed every second. Li Jiacheng was lost in thought, the expression on his face constantly changing. a long time. Li Jiacheng took a deep breath, looked at Evelyn Lowhill suddenly, and asked, "Mr. Lowhill, I want to know, what can I get?" Evelyn Lowhill smiled and slowly said: "You can get the friendship of our Lowhill family, and our family can guarantee the smooth expansion of your company in the UK." "Moreover, once Hong Kong undergoes great changes, you will be able to obtain a broader space for development, and you will also be able to reap a portion of the benefits." I have to say that Li Jiacheng was moved. To him, today''s Xiangjiang is more and more like a cage. It is Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium and his allies who weaves this cage. He is destined to be impossible! He and other people have long been huddled together to cope with the increasingly fierce competition, and they are not even qualified to be opponents to the Jiuding Consortium. If the Jiuding Consortium is allowed to grow like this, their situation will become more and more difficult. Unless he completely abandons the competition, UU reading www. uukanshu.com or take the initiative to surrender to Xia Yu, otherwise the suffering will persist. But unfortunately, he is not the kind of person who likes to bow his head. What''s more, he took a wrong step, and now he doesn''t feel that he has any value to Xia Yu. Even surrendering to Xia Yu is unlikely, and his allies will not easily let him go. Think about it and try, but you may have a better future. Love to fight to win! This is the spirit of Chaoshan people! A ruthless look flashed in Li Jiacheng''s eyes, and he said to Evelyn Lowhill, "Mr. Lowhill, what do you need me to do?" Evelyn Rohill smiled with satisfaction. "it''s actually really easy¡­" PS: There is an activity of 300,000 points in the comment area, don''t miss it v3 Chapter 1435: The shadow overwhelms the Chinese business consortium That night, Li Jiacheng didn''t leave Evelyn Rohill''s villa until nearly eleven o''clock in the evening. When he returned to his residence, he suddenly found that the living room of the residence was still brightly lit. Hearing the sound of the car engine, Li Zekai and Ma Shimin inside the house immediately walked out. After seeing Li Jiacheng coming out of the car and returning safely, the two men were completely relieved. "Dad, you are finally back." "Chairman, you just come back." Li Jiacheng didn''t smile as he used to, but he nodded his head thoughtfully, and walked straight into the house. Ma Shimin and Li Zekai looked at each other, both of them looked worried, and the hearts that had just been let down suddenly lifted up. "Dad, are you okay?" "I''m fine, let''s rest early tonight." "By the way, Shimin, you can order the following to carry out business as usual, and you will follow up tomorrow." After entering the house, Li Jiacheng threw his coat directly on the sofa, then leaned on the sofa, and after answering his son''s question, he ordered Ma Shimin. Ma Shimin was taken aback, and then nodded knowingly: "Okay, Chairman, I will follow up tomorrow with all my strength." "Then Chairman, it''s getting late. I''ll go back first. You have a hard day and rest earlier." After all, Ma Shimin left here quickly. Wait until the roar of the car fades away. Li Zekai poured a cup of tea for his father, and after he took a sip, he asked again carefully: "Dad, what happened tonight?" "I don''t think you have looked like this for so many years." Ma Shimin has already left, and he and his son are the only ones in the living room, so there is nothing left to say. He slowly said: "I will meet tonight with Evelyn Roshir of the Roshir family, the second person of the Roshir family in the UK." "I have promised him to join the Rosier family." Li Zekai was shocked. He blurted out and said, "Dad, how can they force us to join them?" "Are they eyeing Xiangjiang?" Li Jiacheng nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Not only is he looking at Xiangjiang, but also at the Jiuding Consortium and Xia Yu." Li Zekai ushered in a second critical attack, his eyes rounded. "This this¡­¡­" He was immediately shocked and didn''t know what to say. The Rothschild family with a glorious history focused on the Jiuding Consortium, which is a giant in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. This is a fight between two giants, and the impact can definitely cause drastic changes. And their Li family was forced to stand in line by the Rohill family. Thinking of this, Li Zekai hurriedly asked: "Dad, what do they want us to do?" "The **** who attacked the Jiuding Consortium?" "Or give the Jiuding Consortium a black hand?" "Our risk is too great, after all, with Xia Yu''s energy, we can easily maimed or even kill us!" "Furthermore, although the Roshir family used to be known as the Sixth Empire, they have fallen a lot. Can their current strength surpass the Jiuding Consortium?" The series of questions raised by Li Zekai made Li Jiacheng''s painful head more painful. But it is about the future of the Cheung Kong Group and the Li family. Li Zekai is his eldest son, and he should know these things. "No way, Evelyn Rohill asked me to come over tonight, it seems to let me choose, in fact we have no choice at all, unless we choose mediocrity!" Li Jiacheng shook his head and sighed. "Since they came to us and let us know the news, do you think we can leave the UK safely if I don''t agree?" Li Zekai was awakened, then burst into cold sweats, his complexion changed drastically, and finally he could only clenched his fists sternly. There was a thought in his mind, "Actually, I shouldn''t have come to England!". But this is the end of the matter, and there is no way to look back. I can only find a way to get rid of the fire. "Dad, what do they want us to do?" "They want us..." ... That night, the Li family''s father and son had completely insomnia. But Evelyn Lowhill slept beautifully, and after a leisurely breakfast the next day, he returned to the family castle. "Evelyn, you are back." "Seeing you look good, is it done?" After seeing Evelyn Roshir walk in, the Patriarch of the Roshir family, Jacob Rosill, asked with a smile. "Of course, Li Jiacheng cannot refuse the olive branch thrown by our family!" "He is a smart man." "Hehe~" Evelyn Roshir said with a faint smile, and came to the seat to sit down. "What about the specific details of talking to him?" Jacob Rohill asked again. Evelyn Roshir told the results of last night: "The results of the negotiations are better than the bottom line we set." "We privately took over 33% of the shares of the Yangtze River Industrial Group, of which he took out 20%, and we acquired the remaining 13% from outside." "And on the basis of confidentiality, Li Jiacheng will do a good job in tandem work to draw a group of people for us in Xiangjiang." "..." "Of course, he also made a request, hoping to get financial support, so that he can deepen his influence on his allies." After listening to it, Jacob Rohill nodded in satisfaction: "This result is really good. Give him everything he wants." "We don''t give support. It is very difficult to shake Xiangjiang''s economy by relying on his strength alone." "By the way, how are the preparations done in China?" Faced with the newly raised problems, Evelyn Lowhill smiled and said: "Don''t worry, the UK is no better than Hong Kong. This is our base camp." "Although the Bright Fund has grown stronger in the UK, we are not lagging behind. What''s more, we have begun to deploy many years ago, and now it is lethal." "The Chinese business consortium is also fat enough to eat it. Even if the Jiuding consortium is not defeated, we will not lose money." Jacob Rohill smiled satisfied: "That''s good." "This time using oil futures and London gold, we have harvested more than 10 billion pounds. With so many allies, we have no chance of failure!" "Even if the Jiuding Consortium has grown!" "In the past few years, we have endured many setbacks and endured endless jokes. This time, we have to regain the reputation of our family!" Speaking of the last sentence, Jacob Rosier narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and a strong evil spirit radiated from him. Evelyn Rohill nodded heavily, and shouted: "That''s right, this time, we will definitely succeed!" ... After talking about the matter, Evelyn Lowhill suddenly looked serious and said to Jacob Lowhill: "Jacob, during this time, we should clean up the surrounding dark lines." "I always feel stared at by someone, and my instinct should not be wrong." When it comes to this matter, Jacob Rohill is also very cautious. He nodded slowly: "I know, I have asked the following to do this, and there have been some recent results, but they are not significant and cannot be distinguished temporarily." "You also know that there are too many forces that are eyeing our family. The intelligence agencies of various European countries, Hongsu, the United States and other countries, as well as those family consortia in Europe and the United States, will stare at us as long as the power reaches a certain level. ." Evelyn Roshere was silent, couldn''t help sighing, and comforted Jacob Rosill: "Jacob I know your pressure, no way, our family has the best. We can only bear the glory of glory, the trouble that glory brings." As the former Sixth Empire, even if it has been severely weakened, its power still exists. With lessons learned, no power will relax its vigilance against the Roshir family. What''s more, many branch members of the Roshir family of this generation are very outstanding, and Jacob Roshir is the recognized master of the revival of the Roshir family. It''s strange that the major forces can let the Roshir family rejuvenate. The cake is so big. The cakes that the Roshir family gave up have been eaten into the stomach by other forces. I want them to spit it out. I want to be beautiful! "Well, there is no need to comfort me. I will act soon. I will let the following increase the cleaning effort." "You have a good grasp of the situation here, and after you are sure that the preparations are complete, we will hold a plenary meeting again and fully start!" "it is good." ... v3 Chapter 1436: Shorting 9 Ding Real Estate? "Boss, there are special circumstances!" This morning, Ma Qianjun came to Xia Yu''s office again. After seeing the information submitted, his brows frowned subconsciously. After concentrating on seeing all the inside, his brows were not stretched. Evelyn Roshir of the Roshir family unexpectedly met with Li Jiacheng tonight! The two have never dealt with each other before! If it hadn''t been for Luo Wang to keep an eye on the movements of important members of the Rohill family, he would really not pay attention to Li Jiacheng. After all, nowadays, Li Jiacheng has an insurmountable gap with him, even if they are a group of people, they still can''t pose a threat to him. In Xiangjiang, the net is to monitor them to a certain degree. But when Li Jiacheng left Xiangjiang for the UK, the level of surveillance naturally declined. In the final analysis, although the Nets are all over the world, their focus has always been Xia Yu''s nest and surrounding areas. In Xiangjiang, Li Jiacheng can be regarded as a big figure at the top, and it is worthwhile to draw some people out of the net to monitor him. But after leaving Xiangjiang to go to the UK, he was just a middle-class character. With the power of the net over the UK, it is not worth monitoring him specially. Anyway, as long as Li Jiacheng will return to Xiangjiang, he will always be exposed, there is not much difference. "Have there been any changes in the Lowhill family recently?" After thinking for a long time, Xia Yu looked at Ma Qianjun who was sitting opposite, and asked softly. Before Ma Qianjun came, he sorted out the situation. He shook his head and said: "There is no abnormality found for the time being. The situation that can be monitored daily is normal, and more secret information cannot be monitored temporarily, such as within the Rohir family. Meetings and so on, the security of their family castle is extremely strong." "There are many forces staring at the Rohill family. Over the years, we have also noticed a lot of intelligence agencies, but according to our people''s observations, other intelligence agencies are also unable to penetrate." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding. If the Rosil family really wanted to be infiltrated so easily, then they wouldn''t be able to hold on to it now. His net strength is very strong, but the development time is very short. He does not overestimate himself and underestimate his opponents. "Further increase the monitoring of the Rothschild family, and keep an eye on Li Jiacheng, and at the same time further upgrade the intelligence network, don''t be stingy with spending money." "Special attention must be paid to increase the internal scrutiny of the snare. I don''t want the snare to be infiltrated by others." Xia Yu gave orders to Ma Qianjun. Ma Qianjun nodded solemnly, "I understand." ¡­ After Ma Qianjun left, Xia Yu sat in his place and pondered for nearly half an hour, wondering where the Rohill family could deal with him. Although the purpose of the Rohill family''s search for Li Jiacheng was not investigated, Xia Yu guessed it all. The purpose of the Rohill family can only be Xiangjiang and his business empire. I just don''t know which part of their focus will be aimed at, and how they will calculate it! In any case, hard power is the fundamental to resist all attacks. Holding hundreds of billions of dollars in liquidity in his hand, he is not empty at all. The Roshir family dares to attack him, then he will teach the Roshir family to be a man with his tail sandwiched. ¡­ As the twentieth largest economy in the world today, Hong Kong''s GDP this year is sprinting toward a scale of 100 billion U.S. dollars. With such a prosperous economic foundation, Hong Kong''s financial market is of course booming. In 1983, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had 384 listed companies, the Hang Seng Index reached 1856.4 points, the total stock market capital value was as high as 724.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, 250 trading days in the year, and the average daily transaction volume reached 3.13 billion Hong Kong dollars. And more than two years, even three years are about to pass. With the support of funds from all over the world, Heung Kong''s stock market has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now the Hang Seng Index is constantly creating new history. At its highest point, it has reached 4358.7 points. Today, the Hong Kong Stock Market has 542 listed companies, and the total stock market capital value is as high as 1,927.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to as high as 315.983 billion U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars. The Hong Kong stock market is also very active and doubled, with an average daily trading volume of HK$6.57 billion. It is relatively common for daily transaction volume to break through the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The current Hong Kong Stock Exchange has firmly established itself as the second largest stock exchange in Asia, and Hong Kong is also the second largest financial center in Asia. However, it is a pity that despite the rapid development of Xiangjiang, the island country¡¯s stock market had a solid foundation. After the signing of the "Plaza Agreement", it began to explode. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Xiangjiang to compete with Tokyo for the throne of Asia''s largest financial center. The stock market in Hong Kong is big and trading is active. All kinds of ghosts and monsters confuse it. Of course, the difficulty of supervision is increasing day by day. In particular, the established financial companies in Europe and the United States have made heavy bets in the HeungKong financial market. Their companies are not comparable to those in HeungKong''s local financial companies. This has led to fierce competition in the HeungKong stock market. Fortunately, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is still the hegemon of the Hong Kong stock market, and it still ranks first in Hong Kong in terms of stock holdings. This afternoon. When Liu Tianci came to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank, he did not go to his office immediately. Instead, he walked around randomly in various departments to observe the details of the company. When he came to the bank''s self-operated securities investment department, he found that the employees were busy. Only the head of the department, Yang Ming, was sitting aside, holding a piece of material, and watching with his eyebrows, but he didn''t notice his arrival. "Ahem!" Liu Tianci coughed and awakened Yang Ming. The latter looked up and saw that it was Liu Tianci. He immediately stood up and greeted respectfully: "President, you are here, sorry, what I just saw was more fascinating." "It''s okay, it''s not wrong to work seriously." Liu Tianci said with a light smile. Then he asked with concern: "What''s wrong? Seeing that you frowned just now, are you in trouble?" Yang Ming shook his head and said, "President, I haven''t encountered any trouble, but I always feel something is wrong, but there is no evidence to verify my intuition." "So there is one thing that is difficult to make a decision, for fear of causing losses to the company." Liu Tianci raised his brows slightly, and he paid more attention to this matter. In stock market investment, many investors are wondering whether it is accurate experience or intuition accurate? But Liu Tianci has worked in the financial field for so many years and learned a lot from Xia Yu. He is very clear that intuition can actually be regarded as the sublimation of experience, and the essence is the same as the smell and inspiration of scientists in scientific research. Using information to analyze and find opportunities is the same as using intuition to reverse analysis. In fact, the purpose is the same. Yang Ming has been engaged in the financial industry for more than 20 years and has been the manager of the securities investment department in Jiuding Bank for several years. Liu Tianci knows that he is very capable and he has indeed avoided several major risks for the department. "Go, go to my office and talk to me." "Okay, President, I''ll go back to the office to get some materials." "Go, I''ll wait for you." After Liu Tianci returned to the office, as soon as he asked the secretary to make tea, Yang Ming hurriedly walked in with some materials in his hand. "President, you have been waiting for a long time." "I sorted out the development of the department in the past two months. The comparison between the two months is relatively obvious. This month is indeed different from most of the time this year." "Please see." Before Yang Ming sat down, he handed the materials to Liu Tianci, and then sat down. "Ok?" After watching for two minutes, Liu Tianci refreshed his spirits. He found the problem and couldn''t help but utter a sound. In the past month, there were 15 gambling operations, and the value of the stocks involved reached 8.82 billion Hong Kong dollars. Last month, there were only 7 gambling operations, and the value of the stocks involved was HK$3.17 billion. In the past month, not only has the gambling volume doubled, the value of the stocks involved is almost three times that of the previous month, because the value and quantity of the individual stocks involved have a relatively large gap. "President, this cooperation has been reached, and now I have a cooperation application for Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. UU Kanshu wants to borrow 4.72% of the equity we hold. , The value of this equity is as high as 2.44 billion Hong Kong dollars." "It is in this business that I have been unable to make a decision for a long time." Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is the strongest tier one subsidiary of Jiuding Real Estate Group, the largest real estate development company in Hong Kong, and the largest real estate development company in Asia except for island countries. Now the market value of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has reached 51.72 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is much higher than the second and third place combined. The 4.72% equity held by the securities investment department of Jiuding Bank, except for part of the equity obtained under the underwriting of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. when it went public, was purchased from the stock market. This investment is the most important investment asset in the securities investment department of Jiuding Bank. "Want to short Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.?" After listening to Yang Ming''s words, Liu Tianci narrowed his eyes, and he smelled conspiracy. ~: No change tonight Like the title, no change tonight, I choose to lie flat, I don¡¯t want to deal with anything, I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore, it doesn¡¯t matter, every day I work hard for everyone who cares, but I never care about myself, live, look forward to It''s nothing more than understanding two words, it''s so difficult for men. Oh, don''t want to say more Good night everyone Although we have never met, and we are all over the world, it is indeed the luck of my life to be able to come together with everyone in mind. Good night, everyone "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero" is being hit by hand tonight, please wait a moment, After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1437: The enemy surfaced As one of the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index, Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is still a stock with the highest market value. Is it so easy to short? And Liu Tianci also knows very well that the real estate market in Hong Kong now mainly relies on the commercial real estate market to contribute profits, and there is not much room for profit on the scale of residential real estate. Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is the leader in the commercial real estate market in Hong Kong. Its revenue has been growing steadily. With the bank of the consortium, there is no worries at all. Even if something goes wrong, it will not happen in the short term. On the premise that revenue and profit must be guaranteed, we still have to short it, only because the price-earnings ratio of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. drops. With the industry leader''s halo bonus, if the price-earnings ratio still falls, then the entire real estate industry of Hong Kong will not be able to escape, and all will have to fall. In this way, the entire Hong Kong stock market will be impacted! In Liu Tianci''s view, if the Hong Kong stock market does not plummet, it is possible that Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. stock price will fluctuate. But want to fall sharply? As the chairman of the board of directors of the United Stock Exchange, and as Xia Yu''s right-hand man, Liu Tianci can speak responsibly. impossible! Under normal business logic, this kind of thing can''t happen, so if there is a conspiracy, what else can be the reason? Liu Tianci immediately decided that he must report the matter to the chairman Xia Yu. With the height of the chairman, he would definitely be able to make the most correct judgment. But before reporting, he still needs to do some preparatory work. He immediately ordered the subordinate banks held by Jiuding Bank to compile the data and count all the stock lending business this year. At the same time, he ordered the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange to sort out some information and ask the staff to perform data analysis according to his requirements. In the afternoon, all the materials were sorted out. After reading it, he confirmed his guess and immediately went to Xia Yu''s office. "Chairman, I have something special to report to you." As soon as he entered the room, Liu Tianci, carrying a briefcase, made clear to Xia Yu. His serious expression made Xia Yu immediately pay attention. "God, sit down and speak slowly." "Thank you Chairman." After sitting down, Liu Tianci immediately opened the briefcase, took out the sorted information, and put it on the desktop. Then talk about it: "Chairman, this morning, I went to the bank''s securities investment department to inspect, and then I found something abnormal. Recently, the business of gambling with our bank has doubled." "There is also a business application from the British s¡¤g¡¤Huabao Company, which wants to borrow 4.72% of the equity of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. held by the bank. Because the value exceeds 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, the card did not agree. ." "Then I asked the subordinate banks to sort out the gambling business this year, and I also asked the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to sort out the transaction data in recent months." "The Xiangjiang Stock Exchange has been developing better and better in recent years. In recent months, various data have been rising. According to normal analysis, it is relatively normal, but combined with the bank''s situation, it is not right." "I suspect that there are forces planning to sell Hong Kong stocks on a large scale!" After listening to Liu Tianci''s narration, Xia Yu''s mind subconsciously came up with the name of the Rosil family. The Rohill family only met Li Jiacheng in front of him, not for the purpose of Xiangjiang or to deal with him. Now according to Liu Tianci''s discovery, there are capital plans to disadvantage him. The purpose of these two things coincide! Moreover, there is another important reason for him to subconsciously make this judgment. That is what Liu Tianci mentioned, s¡¤g¡¤Huabao, which is going to short the shares of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.! s¡¤g¡¤Huabao Company was acquired by UBS in later generations, and later generations became the world leader in the name of UBS Huabao. And now, s¡¤g¡¤Warburg is still in the hands of the Warburg family. The Warburg family, which originated in Hamburg, Germany, is one of the "Jewish royal families". The rise of the Warburg family is inseparable from the help of the Rohill family. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Rohill family had established a huge financial network all over Europe, while the Warburg family was only a small player in the Hamburg area of ??Germany. However, in 1865, the Warburg family finally got the Roshir family''s fixed general agent authority in Hamburg, Germany, and later became the Roshir family''s main partner in the issuance of international bonds in the Hamburg region. During the Franco-Prussian War, the Warburg family took advantage of the Lohill family¡¯s network to participate in loans to France and helped France pay war reparations against Germany in order to obtain huge benefits. Since then, the Warburg family has stepped into the fast lane of rise, using the war and German infrastructure to become a financial giant in Germany and even Europe. In the action against the United States, the Warburg family played a huge role. Paul Warburg of the Warburg family is not only a senior partner of the Kuhn Lebo consortium of the United States, but also the first director and second vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. He is known as the "chief designer of the Federal Reserve." At that time, the Lowhill family planned to implement a private central bank plan in the United States, but it has been unsuccessful, but Paul Warburg cooperated with the Rohill family to undertake the main task and completed the attack in one fell swoop! In continental Europe, both the Rohill family and the Warburg family belong to the European strategic alliance, and the Rohill family is the leader. It''s just that compared with the Rohill family, it is also a Jewish family, the Warburg family is more low-key and has a worse life. Who made the Warburg family active in Germany since the sixteenth century, and has always regarded Germany as the foundation, even if they joined the Rohill family to enter the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century, they still set Germany as the foundation, and they met Moustache, the main vein is almost always connected. Unlike the Roshir family, which are distributed all over the world, the main line is in the United Kingdom. Even if the mustache cleans the Roshir family vigorously, the Roshir family still retains a lot of strength. The Warburg family suffered heavy losses and eventually transferred their remaining power to the United Kingdom. With the help of the Rohill family, they regained their footing and continued to regain their strength. It can be said that the Rohill family and the Warburg family are brothers and sisters, supporting each other together, they are the irons of the iron. The Warburg family''s s¡¤g¡¤Huabao Company shorted the Hong Kong stocks on a large scale. It was said that there was no Rohill family behind the scenes, and Xia Yu did not believe it! Afterwards, Xia Yu drank tea and flipped through Liu Tianci''s collected materials, and he verified his guess. Just Jiuding Bank and the banks that hold shares below. Last month, there were 16 gambling businesses that lent stocks, and the total value of the stocks involved at that time was 5.124 billion Hong Kong dollars. Last month, there were 33 gambling businesses that lent stocks, and the total value of the stocks involved was 14.218 billion Hong Kong dollars. The stock lending objects include s¡¤g¡¤Huabao, Cerberos Capital Management, British Golden Forest Asset Management, etc. Most of them are from Europe! In the stock market trading. Last month, the average daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market was HK$7.325 billion. But last month, the average daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market reached 8.449 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 15.34%! And from last month''s transaction volume trend chart, it can be seen that the growth rate is very fast, and the transaction volume of five working days has exceeded the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars! This trend can be considered outstanding throughout the year, but it is a good thing for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. After all, every transaction has to pay tax, which is to generate revenue for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. UU reading www.uukanshu.c¨®m But combined with the short-selling situation, the reason for the sharp increase in transaction volume becomes clear. Shorts borrowed stocks and then cashed out, which made the stock market''s trading volume rise. Last month¡¯s transaction volume was more than 25 billion Hong Kong dollars more than last month, but the value of the stocks lent by Jiuding Bank and its holding banks last month was only 14.218 billion Hong Kong dollars. Billion Hong Kong dollars. Then the shorts must have borrowed more than tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks from other institutions and successfully sold them. Considering that the shorts still have unsold stocks, there are hundreds of Hong Kong financial institutions, and the shorts are not only targeting their financial institutions to borrow stocks. So what is the scale of short-selling? There is no way to count! One hundred billion Hong Kong dollars is definitely more than that! That is 200 billion Hong Kong dollars? Or more? v3 Chapter 1438: Wus Shuangjie In order to grasp the situation more clearly. After Xia Yu discussed with Liu Tianci, he immediately ordered all financial institutions to conduct a comprehensive self-examination and report the situation! As for other financial institutions that do not belong to him, this kind of business data is a core secret, and it is extremely difficult to check. Xia Yu could only give up the investigation. Anyway, his financial system in Xiangjiang has been deeply **** with the financial market of Xiangjiang. He has checked his own situation and learned about the situation. Naturally, he will be able to grasp the situation of the entire market. After two days of self-examination, the internal situation was fully understood. HSBC-based banks, Standard Chartered-based banks, insurance companies, securities companies and other institutions. The statistics are shocking! Rao was shocked because Xia Yu was mentally prepared. The total value of the stocks lent by financial institutions related to him last month was 59.272 billion Hong Kong dollars according to the stock price at the time the agreement was signed. It shouldn''t have been borrowed by the Roshir family and allies behind it. After all, under normal circumstances, institutions will also borrow stocks. In the Hong Kong Financial Market, short-selling and long-selling are going on all the time... However, the company name of the gambling party is sufficient to make a preliminary judgment. And looking at the data from last month, the total value of the shares lent was only 16.248 billion Hong Kong dollars. The two-month gap reached 43 billion Hong Kong dollars. These 43 billion worth of stocks should not be able to run away, but they were borrowed by the enemy. Moreover, according to the trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market in the past month, the enemy should have only shot part of it, and the rest will remain in his hands. "If the stock prices involved in this all fall, then the Hang Seng Index must fall." "Considering that the stocks invested and held by various financial institutions have not yet been lent, the HSI will fall sharply, so the loss will definitely not be small!" "This is trying to overthrow my lair, haha..." After reading all the information, Xia Yu in the office couldn''t help sneering, his eyes flickering. "Fortunately, Liu Tianci found out in advance. Otherwise, the enemy will not be afraid when they attack, but they will also be in a hurry. There is still time to counterattack." "But this time it also exposed a problem. The Guangming Consortium, Jiuding Consortium, Polaris Consortium, and All-Day Consortium were not timely in information connection. This problem..." After talking to himself a few times, Xia Yu also felt troublesome, because this matter was difficult to solve. If it is not a wholly-owned financial institution, it is impossible to share information. Other shareholders will definitely have opinions, and executives of companies will also have opinions. Xia Yu hasn''t forgotten that in his global scope, many financial companies only hold relative shares. Even if it is absolute holding, it is fundamentally different from wholly-owned holdings. The best way to achieve complete resource integration is to merge companies of the same type. But the disadvantages of company mergers are also great. One is that it is easy to cause company turbulence. The larger the company, the greater the turbulence and the longer the integration time. The second is that once integrated, all his strengths will surface, and the shock and malice that this will cause will definitely not be a little bit. The crocodile lurking underwater has deterrence and lethality. The crocodile going ashore is a target! This matter must be discussed in the long term... Now that the enemy''s offensive direction has been sensed, it is easy to handle. Xia Yu has never been a person who likes passive defense. In addition, he is wealthy and he is not afraid of fighting tough battles at all, so he thinks about it. The decision will be counted! The enemy wanted to borrow stocks, so he let go! For example, S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company wants to borrow 4.74% of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. held by Jiuding Bank, so it borrows it. Why don''t you earn a fee? How can you make the enemy even worse if you don''t let the enemy borrow more stocks? Even if every stock loaned out now will be used by the enemy to convert it into capital ammunition! The more you borrow, the greater the risk! Fighting is hard power! After Xia Yu''s decision, while secretly formulating a complete counterattack plan, while pretending that he did not find any anomalies, the financial companies under it kept lending stocks. However, his huge flow of funds began to flow through the global banking network, and continued to converge towards Xiangjiang. At the same time, the snare was also fully mobilized, trying to investigate what the enemy had left behind! After all, thinking in another way, if he was Jacob Rohill, launching an offensive against Xiangjiang, he would definitely take advantage of the situation and look for opportunities to get twice the result with half the effort, instead of simply being strong and choosing to do more with half the effort! Time passed slowly. After staying in the UK for about a week, Li Jiacheng returned to Xiangjiang, and then secretly gathered with members of the Chaoshan gang such as Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong, and Yang Shoucheng. These people dared to gamble and promised to fight for the future. After the secret meeting, these bigwigs began to sell the stocks in their hands, ready to cash out at a high position to recover some of the funds, then it will be convenient for low-price bargaining. However, Li Jiacheng didn''t know that he was stared to death by the net right after he came back. Anything he did was under the control of Xia Yu, like a clown jumping around in secret. ¡­ The greater the short appetite, the more stocks are borrowed and the more lending institutions. Even if the elites in the financial market are in different companies, gatherings are indispensable. The gatherings naturally have to chat. After going back and forth, more and more people are aware of something wrong and know that there are big shorts who are shorting the Hong Kong stock market. For a time, the Hong Kong financial market felt a sense of oppression as dark clouds overwhelmed the city. It was just when Xia Yu thought that the enemy was going to take action in Xiangjiang. Far away in London, England, an extremely important thing is happening. It is the Chinese business consortium supported by Xia Yu in the UK! The Chinese Business Consortium has long become a collection of Chinese capital in Europe. It can be regarded as a large force in the UK and even in Europe. It is definitely a banner of the Chinese in Europe. The consortium involves hundreds of companies and the consortium¡¯s assets are as high as several hundred Billion pounds! When Xia Yu was still weak, the Chinese business consortium was indeed very important to Xia Yu. It''s just that the layout belongs to the layout, and Xia Yu did not expect that he would rise so rapidly that he had a huge consortium of bright lights in Britain and Europe. For the Chinese Business Consortium, due to the initial situation, he only holds 22% of the shares of the Chinese Business Bank and cannot control the Chinese Business Consortium. The consortium is controlled by the supported Wu family. The Wu family holds 33% of the Chinese Commercial Bank. Although many large Chinese families in the Chinese Business Consortium have lived in the UK for a hundred years, it is difficult to integrate into the UK due to different skin colors. Very big. What about the Bright Consortium? Xia Yu was able to act like an arm. Although he has only developed for a few years, he has taken the top line from the beginning and has already penetrated into the United Kingdom and **** with the British economy and society. Therefore, with the existence of the Bright Consortium, the Chinese Business Consortium played less and less role for Xia Yu. And Wu Hongyi has never let Xia Yu down. Every time he has something, Wu Hongyi will do his best. After Wu Hongyi''s grandfather Wu Chengde passed away three years ago, Wu Hongyi became the head of the Wu family and took care of it in an orderly manner. Correspondingly, Xia Yu was also very relieved of the Chinese business consortium, and did not put too much energy and attention. This is the trust in Wu Hongyi! However, this time the problem lies in the Wu family that Xia Yu trusts most! It''s just that it is not Wu Hongyi who has the problem with UU reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com, but Wu Honglin, who was let down by Wu Hongyi! This one once wanted to kill Xia Yu for money, but was let Xia Yu let him go. When Wu Chengde was alive, he was always honest. But after Wu Chengde''s death three years ago, Wu Honglin gradually revealed his talents and became a business elite of the Wu family not inferior to Wu Hongyi, and made great contributions to the Wu family and the Chinese business consortium. With these achievements, Wu Honglin quickly became the number two figure in the Wu family, second only to Wu Hongyi. The two brothers worked together to strengthen the Wu family and the Chinese business consortium. They are known as the "Wu Family Shuangjie", which can be said to be well-known in the European Chinese circle. It is said that under the prestigious name, there are no vanities. But on Wu Honglin''s body, it is not necessarily true. "Under the prestigious name, it''s actually difficult." This sentence is more suitable for him... v3 Chapter 1439: Brotherhood London, England, where the Wu Family Manor is located. Over the years, Wu Honglin has grown up quickly and became the No. 2 figure in the Wu family. He is also as young and powerful as Wu Hongyi. Therefore, the area of ??the house belonging to him is not small in the family''s large manor. Except for his wife and young children, there are only Uncle Li, a caring butler, and a few servants managed by Uncle Li. In general, Wu Honglin will discuss with Uncle Li on many things. After all, the master and servant are grasshoppers on the same boat. But there are still some things that Wu Honglin didn''t dare to discuss with Uncle Li. Even his study room only allows him to enter alone, not even his wife. Without him, just because there are too many secrets! And the secret inside is the fundamental reason why he was able to turn from a dude who once tried to murder Xia Yu to become one of the "Wu''s Twins" in just five or six years. After a busy morning at the company, Wu Honglin returned home, and he did not see a smile on his face until lunch. His wife asked caringly, but he answered perfunctorily, and then went into the study alone, leaving only his wife looking at the empty staircase in a daze. Let''s talk about Wu Honglin. After unlocking and entering the study, he locked the door behind him, then observed in the study and confirmed that no one had come in. He first twisted behind the pile of books in the second row on the left of the bookcase, then fumbled behind the pile of books on the top row on the right of the bookcase, then got off the stool and pushed it a bit. The bookcase, the bookcase with the wall opened slowly. Inside, it was just a very narrow space, with only a very special small table, and a fax machine on the table. Wu Honglin pressed some buttons to the fax machine. Soon, the fax machine started up and a fax was sent out. Wu Honglin picked it up immediately. After just watching for two seconds, his complexion became very gloomy and his fists clenched subconsciously. "Damn it, it''s so tight!" He couldn''t help yelling. But he complained and complained. Facing this flamboyant fax, he had to rack his brains to figure out a solution. no way. He is able to have today''s status only by the support of the people behind him. Since he grew up, it is not that he has not thought about investigating who is behind him. But it is a pity. Over the years, the person who has been in contact with him cannot find out his specific background. When he wanted to investigate further, he was warned. With part of the influence of the Chinese business consortium he has, he can''t find clues. On the contrary, he was easily warned. This made him realize that the people who secretly supported him in the first place definitely have monstrous strength behind them, at least the best in Britain. power. The other party''s purpose for supporting him, he also knew very well, it was nothing more than to calculate the Chinese business consortium. But for his own benefit, he chose to accept support. The original plan was to grow himself first, and in the end he might have the opportunity to fight back. However, he still has two steps to take if he wants to control the Chinese business consortium, and there is one biggest stumbling block that he has not kicked away! To control the Chinese business consortium, the most basic thing is to first control the power of the Wu family and become the head of the Wu family. Only then will it be possible to unite with other shareholders of Huashang Bank and be elected as the chairman of Huashang Bank. Only then will it be possible to become the general manager of Huajinhui, the Huajin Association of Huashang Bank, and successfully run the Chinese Business Group! Become a top class leader in the UK! "Drip...squeaky..." Wu Honglin closed the dark room again and glanced at the fax one last time, then put it into a paper shredder and shredded it, and then took the debris to the toilet in the study to wash away all traces. "They have already given me an ultimatum, it seems that I can only take a stance." "Song Huaigu, Li Tianxiang, Liu Shiwei, Ye Huanrong and Wu Fuxiang are all old foxes. The scenes are beautiful, but there is no substantive action." "Humph!" Wu Honglin sorted out the internal structure of the Chinese business consortium in his mind. The Chinese business consortium and its manager¡¯s association, the Joaquin Club, are similar in structure to when they were first established. After all, those who can be selected into the Chinese business consortium at the beginning are the top Chinese in the UK. After relying on the Chinese business consortium, they will grow faster . In the Joaquin Club, Wu Hongyi is the general manager of the Joaquin Club, and the deputy manager is Xia Yu. The three executive directors are Song Huaigu, Li Tianxiang, and Liu Shiwei. Song Huaigu is the third largest shareholder, holding 4.1% of the shares. The reason why Wu Hongyi was able to hold the position of the general manager of Huajin Club was because he personally held 14% of Huashang Bank, Wujia Foundation held 19%, and Xia Yu held 22%. This combined voting power It reached 55%. Other directors naturally know how to choose. If he becomes the head of the Wu family, then think of a way to get a total of 33% of the equity in Wu family and Wu Hongyi''s corresponding representation, then there is still no veto power. Wu Honglin is self-aware, and he certainly cannot get Xia Yu''s support. Therefore, if he wants to become the chairman of Huashang Bank and the general manager of Huajinhui, he must obtain strong support from other shareholders. Wu Hongyi is alive, then there is absolutely no possibility for him! Then, you can only... Thinking of this, Wu Honglin''s eyes shone cruelly. ¡­ The next afternoon, when it was close to get off work. Wu Hongyi is drinking tea with Ye Huanrong in the office. Ye Huanrong was appreciated by Xia Yu before. Not only was he led to join the Huashang Bank, his Rongyehang also became one of the first core companies of the Chinese Business Consortium. With the help of the consortium¡¯s resources, his Rongyehang has become the largest in Europe. Chinese supermarket. Of course, this biggest is to eliminate Xia Yu''s supermarkets, but even so, Ye Huanrong has become a well-known British supermarket tycoon. Because of this relationship with Xia Yu, among so many members of the Joaquin Club, Ye Huanrong and Wu Hongyi have the best relationship. Ye Huanrong took a sip of tea and reminded Wu Hongyi with some worry: "Chairman, don''t blame me for being alarmist. I think you still have to be more vigilant. I have heard a lot of news. Your brother likes to build relationships with various directors." "Nowadays, under your leadership, banks and consortia are flourishing. The facts have proved that you are a good fit for your current position. I am afraid your brother thinks too much..." There was a flash of thought in Wu Hongyi''s eyes, and he nodded slightly and said: "I know what you said, don''t worry, I have always held a certain degree, there is no need to worry so much." "Come on, drink tea." With that, Wu Hongyi added tea to Ye Huanrong with a smile. Ye Huanrong opened his mouth, but still did not continue. He wanted to persuade him again, saying that although he felt that Wu Honglin was capable, but he was a person with wrong intentions, but this got to the throat, thinking that the relationship between the two is good, but after all, they are not from the Wu family, and involve the Wu family. He is indeed not qualified to intervene in internal matters. "Chairman, give a good look tonight and have a meal together. I found that a new Chinese restaurant tastes good. It was opened by a compatriot who just came from Xiangjiang." Ye Huanrong took a sip of tea and sent an invitation to Wu Hongyi. "You say it''s delicious, then I must try it." Wu Hongyi responded with a smile. "That''s it. I''ll go back first, then go ahead and call you later." "it is good." "I also happened to go back first and take my family with me by the way." ¡­ Although London has just entered the early winter, it is close to the Arctic Circle after all, and it gets extremely dark. At half past six in the afternoon, it was dark. Wu Hongyi took his wife and children into the car and set off from home to the agreed place. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t notice. uukanshu. com immediately after he left the house, his servants secretly reported the situation to the foreign exchange and spread the news. When Wu Hongyi''s car reached a bend, a large truck suddenly rushed out of the right side and crashed into Wu Hongyi''s car at high speed. When his wife''s screams sounded in his ears, Wu Hongyi reacted, only to see that the front of the truck was about to hit the right side of his car. When his pupils dilated, he heard only a "bang" when the big truck hit Wu Hongyi''s car, and pushed it all the way, sandwiching the car and hitting the wall on the opposite side of the road. Even if Wu Hongyi''s car is a bulletproof car, it is still severely deformed under the impact of a large truck and a wall. Soon, the nearby police came to maintain order, and then quickly called the 120 emergency center. And Wu Honglin, who was far away in Wu''s home, received a call from a Motorola cell phone using satellite signals, and then a winner''s smile appeared on his face. "You can''t blame me, but you can only blame you for blocking the way..." v3 Chapter 1440: 1 word, kill! Wu Hongyi''s family of three had a serious traffic accident. The first person to get news was Ye Huanrong, who sent the invitation tonight. When he rushed to the scene, he saw a very tragic scene. The scene has been alerted by the police, and samples were collected for evidence at the scene. In addition to the police, ambulances and emergency rescue teams also arrived. Inside the cordon, an extended bullet-proof car has been extremely distorted, and there are already four people on the roadside covered by white cloth. One is Wu Hongyi''s driver, one is his bodyguard, and the other is Wu Hongyi''s wife. The last person is the truck driver. As for Wu Hongyi, he has not been rescued yet. His body is sandwiched by the deformed car body. He is already in a coma, and the bright red blood on his head is flowing down his face. The one who is still alive is a two-year-old child who is being held by a nurse and crying. The child''s miserable cry, coupled with the tragic scene before him, made the crowd around onlookers feel distressed. Some women had turned their heads and dared not look anymore, and many others were praying with their eyes closed. "It''s over, something big happened!" "If I didn''t ask him tonight, then this tragedy wouldn''t happen." Ye Huanrong, who had just arrived, had this idea in his mind for an instant, and then countless self-blame and regret came to his mind. "Doctor, you must try your best to rescue you, don''t worry about money at any cost." Ye Huanrong rushed to the rescue doctor on the scene and shouted to him. "Okay, we will definitely try our best to treat, please rest assured!" "The premise is to remove him from the car as soon as possible. We can only stop the bleeding as much as possible for him now." As the doctor said, he took a new piece of gauze from his assistant and continued to bandage Wu Hongyi. Ye Huanrong could only retreat to the side and picked up his mobile phone to make calls continuously. He needed to inform the Wu family of the accident as soon as possible. This evening, the citizens of London rested as usual. But the upper class in Britain, especially the bigwigs within the Chinese business consortium, are all concerned about the news of Wu Hongyi''s car accident. Wu Hongyi did not die on the spot and was still being rescued. If something unexpected happens, it will definitely have a huge impact on the entire Chinese business consortium. It can be said that Wu Hongyi''s life and death are related to the vital interests of many people. There are many people who want him to live, but more people want him to die! They wish that the Chinese business consortium would be in chaos! ¡­ "Jacob, the Wu Honglin we supported did not disappoint us." "The only regret is that Wu Hongyi did not die on the spot and is still being rescued." "..." Among the Rohill family, Evelyn Rohill received the definite news to stop the nausea and immediately reported to Jacob Rohill, and also informed the latter of what he had learned. It is obvious from the on-site investigation that the truck driver himself died on the spot while drunk and driving a motor vehicle. On the surface, this is just an accident. "Still rescued now?" "Can you find an opportunity in the hospital?" After listening to Jacob Lowhill, he thought for a moment and suggested to Evelyn Rohill. Evelyn Roshir shook his head: "I have thought about it, but we have no way of starting." "The Wu family and the Chinese business consortium have mobilized medical resources and have exercised extremely strict vigilance." "The probability of our success is low, but it is easier to expose, so I gave up." Jacob Rohill smiled: "It seems that he can only rely on his own luck, and we also need all luck." "But anyway, even if Wu Hongyi is rescued, he will not be able to handle the affairs of the Chinese business consortium in a short time." "We don''t have enough time. Let Wu Honglin complete the seizure of power as soon as possible." "But pay attention to the way, don''t expose too obvious intentions, and avoid being caught." Evelyn Roshir nodded deeply, "I know." "As long as the Chinese business consortium encounters pressure, they will find a way to re-elect the right person." "But in order to prevent them from falling to Xia Yu, we have to do some supplementary measures." ¡­ Not long after Wu Hongyi''s accident, Luo Wang had actually received the news, and through encrypted satellite communications, the news was transmitted to Xiangjiang and soon to Xia Yu. Regarding Wu Hongyi''s accident, Xia Yu was shocked when he saw the news. He even had the urge to go to the UK immediately. After all, Wu Hongyi is not only the leader of the Chinese business consortium, but also one of his rare friends. Only after the shock passed, Xia Yu immediately calmed down. He can''t take the risk by himself! Seeing the darkness of society and knowing the cruelty of capital, when he encounters a thing, he always speculates about an event or a person with the worst malice. Although accidents happen all the time in the world, Xia Yu does not believe that such a coincidence will happen to Wu Hongyi! Moreover, the truck driver died on the spot, which is quite a charm to cover up the truth. No way, Xia Yu can only stay in Xiangjiang, and at the same time make Luo Wang fully investigate the situation, pay close attention to the situation in the UK, especially the changes in the Chinese business consortium. After only observing for two days, Xia Yu couldn''t help being angry after seeing the news. Wu Hongyi was rescued from the brink of death. He woke up for a few minutes and passed out in a coma. This is good news. But in the UK, there was an unnecessarily rumored gossip. The reason why Wu Hongyi, chairman of Huashang Bank, had an accident was that his existence hindered Xia Yu¡¯s plan to further expand its influence in the UK. Only if Wu Hongyi fell, Xia Yu would be able to take over the Chinese business consortium and take advantage of the Chinese business consortium¡¯s Resources to grow their company. Is there such a thing? Others don''t know, but Xia Yu himself can''t know? The purpose of such rumors was to ruin his reputation and prevent him from taking control of the Chinese business consortium after Wu Hongyi fell. Whether others believe it or not, this news is enough to make the members of the Joaquin Club subconsciously resist Xia Yu. According to the thinking of who benefits and who is the suspect, Xia Yu directly narrowed the scope of suspicion. When Wu Hongyi fell, Wu Honglin must have benefited the most from the Wu family. He must be very suspicious. With his past bad deeds, even if he has been outstanding in recent years, he cannot change his nature. Outside of the Chinese business consortium, there are definitely more enemies, and it is difficult to guarantee whether it is because of commercial competition that some people will take the dangerous killer. The managers of every company that was brought down by the Chinese business consortium are suspected. However, Lenovo''s recent calculations by the Rohill family on themselves and Xiangjiang make it hard not to let Xia Yu doubt that this matter was also done by the Rohill family. With the strength of the Roshir family, they can definitely accomplish this perfectly. The most important thing is that the Rohill family has great reasons to deal with the Chinese business consortium. Whether it is specific or not requires further investigation. As for the breakthrough, Xia Yu placed Wu Honglin on him! Luo Wang''s magnifying glass was pointed at Wu Honglin, and he revealed all his experience of rising. In this investigation, there were more and more things wrong. Combined with the investigations in recent days, Wu Honglin has taken advantage of Wu Hongyi''s coma and persuaded the family council of the Wu family to temporarily replace Wu Hongyi and become the acting head of the Wu family. Moreover, Wu Honglin frequently sought out directors of Huashang Bank, with the intention of re-electing the bank''s board of directors and electing himself as chairman. Xia Yu can make a judgment, Wu Hongyi has an accident, and 90% can''t get rid of Wu Honglin! Wu Honglin has been able to rise smoothly over the years, and there is a mysterious force behind it. The success of uukanshu.com seems normal again and again, but many of them are accidental and do not conform to rigorous business logic. Wu Honglin is not a rebirth, it is impossible to grasp the opportunity accurately every time, then behind his success, there must be a hand controlling. This time I saw the picture poorly, presumably the black hand behind the scenes felt that it was time to close the net. Xia Yu couldn''t remain indifferent to this kind of thing that was about to exceed his control. The Chinese Business Consortium was the one who trusted Wu Hongyi and let Wu Hongyi control it. Since Wu Hongyi can''t control it now, then take back the control, and just follow the rumors. In the face of absolute strength, all rumors will be self-defeating and dare not appear! Wu Honglin dared to stretch out his hand, so Xia Yu would naturally not be polite. Calculate the old and new accounts together. One word. kill! v3 Chapter 1441: Tear face Wu Honglin must be killed. Violation of the rules, and there is a high possibility of becoming a gangster, then you should get what you deserve. However, Xia Yu also had to consider the after-effects as much as possible. Wu Honglin must die, but the Chinese business consortium must not mess! If he goes to London, of course he is confident that he can quell all the ghosts and monsters, and play the role of a needle in the sea. But now that the enemy has brewed a storm in Xiangjiang, compared with the old nest Xiangjiang, London can only go back. And Xia Yu was also worried whether the enemy was ready to turn the tiger away from the mountain, and even planned to use methods other than the rules to snipe him in London. In this critical period, if you don''t take risks, you must follow the principle of "seeking progress while maintaining stability." Therefore, before ordering the snare operation, Xia Yu had to give it a try to see if Wu Hongyi could wake up, and adjust the plan if he couldn''t. Xia Yu left directly to Xiangjiang Chunqiu Hospital and found his master Li Chunqiu. When Xia Yu arrived, Li Chunqiu was seeing a few elderly people. Xia Yu didn''t bother him. After nodding to him, he walked around the Chunqiu Hospital and saw the No. 1 Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Asia built with his own support. . About twenty minutes later, Li Chunqiu finally helped the waiting patient finish the treatment. "A Yu, why are you free to come here today?" Li Chunqiu asked with a kind and kind smile. "Master, I want to ask you to help me with one thing." "A very good friend of mine. His name is Wu Hongyi. He is a British Chinese who was rescued from a car accident and was rescued. He woke up once halfway and is still in a coma." "Wu Hongyi is the chairman of Huashang Bank. His accident may have something to do with my enemy, but because of special circumstances, I cannot leave Xiangjiang now." "So I hope you can help me choose a few suitable doctors to go to London, England, and see if you can wake him up." "It''s best to be able to wake up. If I can''t wake up in a short time, I know it well." Xia Yu said to Li Chunqiu with a heavy face. Li Chunqiu felt his mood in Xia Yu''s few words. Li Chunqiu began to think about it, selecting suitable candidates in his mind. After a while, he looked at Xia Yu: "A Yu, let me go. That patient is so important to you. I can only tell you the most accurate situation by seeing the situation with my own eyes." "And for this kind of hemorrhage and coma symptoms, acupuncture is more suitable, just because I am good at this one." "In addition, I will bring an old Chinese doctor who is also proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion." Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then Master, I will trouble you." "Don''t see outsiders, when are you leaving?" Li Chunqiu asked after shaking his head slightly. "The sooner the better!" "Go directly on my private plane." Xia Yu immediately replied. "That''s it. I will prepare now. I can set off in at most two hours." Li Chunqiu said, and began to take off his white coat. "Okay, I will go back and make arrangements first. After you prepare, I will have a car to take you to the airport." After the negotiation, Xia Yu immediately returned to the original road and issued a few orders with his mobile phone on the road. Soon, all aspects of work were ready. More than an hour later, Xia Yu''s private plane took off from the new Xiangjiang International Airport. The Boeing 747 takes about fourteen hours to fly to London. London is seven hours behind Hong Kong. While the plane was still in the sky over Central Asia, the sun''s rays had shone on the land of London. Wait until nine o''clock in the morning London time. An emergency meeting of the board of directors is being held in the conference room at the headquarters of Huashang Bank. The emergency temporary meeting in such an emergency situation is not subject to the notice time limit in the company''s articles of association. There was a sudden accident in Wu Hongyi, and many companies under the Huashang Consortium were suddenly targeted by opponents. All directors were in a bad mood, so that the atmosphere in the conference room was very heavy while waiting. Wu Honglin was the last to be there. As soon as he came in, he ran straight to Wu Hongyi''s previous position, and then sat down. Seeing this scene, most of the directors present frowned subconsciously, but did not express any opinions. They all know about the situation of the Wu family. They know that after Wu Hongyi''s accident, Wu Honglin temporarily took over the Wu family''s affairs and became the Wu family''s chief. Even if Wu Honglin was not a director of the original Huashang Bank, but he represented Wu Jia on the board of directors, it is justified. "Everyone is an acquaintance, so I won''t be too nonsense and go straight to the topic." "My second brother''s family had an unexpected accident. This is something that all of us don''t want to see, but it has already happened. All we can do is to stabilize the situation first." "As far as I know, the people inside the Huashang Bank are panic, and the entire Chinese business consortium is also quite precarious. For everyone here, many companies have been suppressed and squeezed out. Countless enemies are trying to take advantage of this opportunity. Come and bite us hard." Speaking of this, Wu Honglin stopped deliberately, and his eyes stopped on the faces of Song Huaigu, Liu Shiwei, Li Tianxiang and others. The faces of these people were very ugly. "The more we get to this kind of time, the more we must be united in order to be able to resist external crises. Otherwise, if we are not united internally, then we will all be finished." "It is said that the country cannot have no owner for a day, and the dragon cannot have a head for a day. At present, neither the Huashang Bank nor the Huajin Club can take the lead. This is very dangerous." "So I hope that this time we can re-elect a new chairman, and under his leadership, unite everyone and tide over the difficulties together." After Wu Honglin finished speaking, the expressions of the people below were different, and no one said anything for a long time. Finally, Wu Fuxiang said: "I agree that we should stabilize internally. Now my company is under tremendous pressure. Competitors are taking price cuts to grab my customers, just to kill me." ¡°The companies of the other people sitting here are also in a similar situation. Every company needs financial support. Otherwise, the market we obtained from our previous expansion will have to be vomited. This will damage the interests of the bank and eventually form a vicious circle.¡± "I agree!" "Then choose!" ¡­ Others drank it. at this time. Ye Huanrong said suddenly: "Wait!" Everyone focused their eyes on him, and Wu Honglin''s eyes narrowed subconsciously. "Although every time we have a meeting, it is because Director Xia Yu delegates voting rights to Chairman Wu Hongyi." "Now Chairman Wu Hongyi is in an accident. Although Mr. Wu Honglin can represent the Wu family and temporarily take over the voting rights of Chairman Wu Hongyi, Mr. Xia did not say that the voting rights are entrusted to you." "Furthermore, our temporary board of directors is held in an urgent place. Director Xia Yu has not sent anyone over. I suggest waiting until he or his representative arrives before the election." "If he can be there or send a suitable candidate, we can choose him." "After all, when it comes to operating a bank, none of us here can compare to Mr. Xia Yu." "If you talk about the overall strength, it can''t compare to him!" "If Mr. Xia Yu can take charge of the overall situation, then our Chinese Business Consortium can temporarily rely on the huge Jiuding Consortium and have the confidence to resist the enemy''s attack." Ye Huanrong''s remarks also made many of the people who had just expressed their opinions changed their faces, and they were a little bit ready to move. Seeing this, Wu Honglin''s secret message was not good, his face changed, and he said coldly: "Huh, Director Ye, I don''t think it is backed by the Jiuding Consortium, but our Chinese business consortium is eaten by the Jiuding Consortium!" "The reason why my second brother had an accident was that a tragedy happened on the road at your appointment at night. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?" "Xia Yu''s strength is very strong, this is not wrong, but his contribution to our Chinese business consortium is not necessarily great, and the level of understanding of the Chinese Commercial Bank and the entire Chinese business consortium is not as good as those of you present. Now you let him Come and take over Huashang Bank, what is your intention?" "Or... Xia Yu asked you to say this?" Ye Huanrong was irritated with blood pouring up, and stood up excitedly and said, "What do you mean by yin and yang?" "Chairman Wu Hongyi''s accident, I am also very sad, but without any evidence, are you saying that I killed him?" "I didn''t say that, but if you think so, there is no way." Wu Honglin snorted coldly, retorting unwillingly. Ye Huanrong''s face trembled with anger. He was heartbroken, he tore his face directly, and said the doubts he had in his heart for the past two days: "I think you are the one who caused the damage, right?" "I invited Chairman Wu Hongyi, but he didn''t call me before leaving to tell me, how can I figure out when his car will arrive?" "The big truck hasn''t been waiting there all the time, the time is so accurate, I don''t have this skill!" "boom!" Wu Honglin was speechless for a while, feeling a little flustered, he slapped the table suddenly: "Don''t spit blood!" "you¡­" "You don''t have this ability, doesn''t it mean that Xia Yu doesn''t have this ability, maybe we are all being watched?" ¡­ Wu Honglin and Ye Huanrong quarreled directly in the conference room, completely torn their faces, and the other directors in the room remained silent. At this time, their minds were also messed up. After all, what the two said was too shocking, and no matter who said it was right, it was very bad for them. But this kind of uncertainty makes them not dare to gamble. In the end, the temporary board of directors came to a hasty conclusion, and Wu Honglin''s proposal was temporarily shelved. A dragon cannot go without a head for a day. But the directors were also afraid that the original dragon had been replaced by an evil dragon head and bitten directly inside. That would be bad! Wait till the afternoon. Li Chunqiu and others finally arrived in London. After getting off the plane, they boarded the long-awaited convoy and went straight to the hospital where Wu Hongyi was. The news of the arrival of the doctor team sent by Xia Yu from Xiangjiang was also known to everyone immediately. Wu Honglin and some members of the Wu family naturally strongly opposed Li Chunqiu''s entry, while other directors were hesitant. But this scene was expected by Xia Yu long ago, so he directly sent a strong team of bodyguards to force in directly, UU reading even if Wu Honglin called the police! only! Less than five minutes! Before the police arrived. Wu Hongyi really woke up! The doctor held by the bodyguard was directly stunned by Li Chunqiu''s operation. When everyone entered the ward together, Wu Hongyi took a breath and said a very determined sentence in a weak voice. "Xia Yu can''t harm me. When I recuperate, it is recommended that Xia Yu take over the bank and Huajin Club. I support the Wu family!" As soon as he said this, Wu Honglin''s expression on the side changed drastically... PS: These days are really busy. Sorry, as long as the epidemic does not break out, then there will be no accidents. We will get married next week. The final preparation time is now. My parents don¡¯t understand the wedding we want, so we can only The two of us are responsible for ourselves, sorry v3 Chapter 1442: Wu Honglin is dead! (The next few days have to be finished... "Second brother, Xia Yu is very suspicious. You are in a coma these days and don''t know the situation. Now there is news that Xia Yu is harming you." "There can be no waves without wind!" "You can rest at ease, I will stand it up on the family side for a while, don''t worry." Wu Honglin said with a look of concern, it was a sincere feeling. only. Wu Hongyi glanced at him flatly, then looked at some of the family members present, and said with all his strength, "I''m not dead yet, I''m still the head of the Wu family, I have the final say!" "Ahem..." "Don''t forget, Huashang Bank, I still have 14% equity, no one can represent me!" Hearing these words, Wu Honglin gritted his teeth and hated him, but he couldn''t show it, he could only squeeze out a reluctant smile. The other members of the Wu family looked at each other, but facing Wu Hongyi''s gaze, they still did not refute. Even if Wu Hongyi is younger than them! But over the years, Wu Hongyi''s ability has conquered them, and he has also established enough prestige, which cannot be eliminated in a moment. "At the critical moment, only Xia Yu can keep everyone, you...whoop...you don''t doubt it." After Wu Hongyi finished speaking to the members of the Wu family, he turned his head with difficulty, looked at Song Huaigu, Ye Huanrong and others, and said breathlessly. After speaking, he seemed to have used all his strength, but fortunately, his eyes were still open, so that everyone would not worry. "Mr. Wu Hongyi was forcibly stimulated by us with acupuncture and moxibustion. He is now weak and needs a good rest." "Later, I will prescribe some Chinese medicines for replenishing qi and blood, and you need to send someone to take me to a nearby Chinese pharmacy to get the medicine." At this time, Li Chunqiu stroked the white beard and said to everyone. "Okay, thank you genius doctor!" ¡­ "What did you say?" "Wu Hongyi was rescued by a Chinese doctor from Xiangjiang?" "Or Xia Yu sent it?" Among the Rohill family, Jacob Rohill frowned after hearing Evelyn Rohill''s description, and asked three times in a row, showing that he was in a very bad mood. "Yes, this is the situation reported by Wu Honglin." "After Wu Hongyi woke up, he emphasized his trust in Xia Yu, and Wu Honglin immediately lost control of the Wu family." "Our plan may fail depending on the circumstances!" Evelyn Rohill sighed and said disappointedly. "No, we still have a chance!" Jacob Rohill narrowed his eyes and said coldly. "Continue to think of a way to kill Wu Hongyi, and at the same time fully attack the Chinese business consortium!" "I don''t believe Xia Yu has enough power to keep Xiangjiang and the Chinese business consortium." "As for Wu Honglin... After this time, his role has dropped a lot, but it is still possible to play a key role. Continue to threaten him and let him pass on the latest intelligence." ¡­ The conversation between Jacob Lowhill and Evelyn Lowhill was not monitored by the snare. But Xia Yu guessed that the enemy would not let go, and he was already prepared to deal with it. And Wu Hongyi''s awakening also gave Xia Yu no worries. He immediately ordered Luo Wang to find an opportunity to kill Wu Honglin as soon as possible. At the same time, Xia Yu appointed Luo Xueyuan, President of Jiuding Bank''s European Region to go to Huashang Bank to temporarily represent him on the board of directors of Huashang Bank and run for the post of chairman. In addition, Luo Xueyuan also needs to act as Xia Yu''s representative and liaison, stationed in the Huajin Club, and is responsible for temporarily presiding over the work of the Huajin Club. In Huashang Bank, Luo Xueyuan is able to give full play to his abilities. After all, he has been the president of Jiuding Bank Europe for many years. His abilities are undoubted and he is also familiar with European conditions. What''s more, the European headquarters of Huashang Bank is also in the City of London. Jiuding Bank and Huashang Bank have a lot of dealings. Taking over the work of Huashang Bank will not easily trigger a crisis of trust. But in the Joaquin Club, Luo Xueyuan only acted as a tool man and microphone. The work in the European region of Jiuding Bank was soon taken over by a deputy, and Luo Xueyuan went directly to Huashang Bank. Chinese Commercial Bank is not a listed company. All shareholders are in the UK. A temporary board of directors was held that evening to re-elect its chairman. No surprise, Luo Xueyuan was directly elected as the new chairman of the board and concurrently the president of Huashang Bank. The election work is actually very simple, and it didn''t take much time. After Luo Xueyuan was successfully elected, he was instructed by Xia Yu, and he was confident enough to win people''s hearts. "Thank you to all the directors for your trust and support. In order to let everyone know that you did not choose the wrong person, I have another proposal and I am going to submit it to the meeting for discussion." What a surprise! Before that, Luo Xueyuan never revealed any proposals. "Luo... Chairman, what is the proposal?" Director Wu Fuxiang asked curiously. He wondered if Luo Xueyuan had not yet taken over the work, and it was impossible for him to be very clear about the situation of Huashang Bank and what proposals could be made for the bank. "Wu Dong, don''t worry, this proposal has an extremely important effect on our bank, and it can be regarded as a reassurance for everyone." "Preparation is relatively hurried, the proposal is relatively simple, everyone will take a look." After Luo Xueyuan finished speaking, he personally took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and distributed them on both sides. The person who got the proposal first looked at it and asked in shock: "Chairman, is it true?" "Sure it can be achieved?" Song Huaigu also hurriedly asked: "Yes, that''s all for Jiuding Bank. After all, it is Mr. Xia''s bank." "But HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of Barings, and Royal Bank of Scotland, these four banks are all large British banks. They are all stronger than the Chinese Commercial Bank. They are also the core financial platform of the Bright Consortium. They can really compete with these four banks at once. Has the bank reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation?" "..." Others also expressed their inner surprise and excitement. Although the Chinese business consortium can enter the first-class consortium class in the UK, because of skin color and ethnicity, it faces a lot of competitive pressure, and it is only worthy of entering the first-class camp. But the Bright Consortium is different. This is a giant consortium in the UK and even in Europe. It is a super-superior consortium properly! The Bright Consortium started by relying on the financial sector, with extremely strong strength in the financial sector, and then relying on its strong financial strength to continuously enter other fields and have a strong influence in all walks of life. If Huashang Bank can reach a comprehensive strategic cooperation with the major banks under the Bright Consortium, then the crisis facing the Huashang Consortium will definitely be resolved. In terms of the simplest and most direct effect. Huashang Bank has reached strategic partnerships with Jiuding Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of Bahrain and Royal Bank of Scotland to strive for more bank credit lines, which can greatly enhance the ability to resist risks and give the members of the Chinese business consortium the confidence to appease their own companies. Suppliers to avoid financial crises in various companies. With the support of a strong capital chain, even if the enemy wants to fight a price war, he must be prepared for long-term losses and a protracted war. "Without certainty, I won''t put this proposal here." "What everyone thinks is impossible is possible for my boss, Mr. Xia Yu." Luo Xueyuan smiled and said, did not attribute the credit to himself, but moved Xia Yu to the front of the stage. When Song Huaigu and the others heard this, they were silent for a while, and then they slapped Xia Yu''s flattery, even if Xia Yu was not here. "Indeed, Director Xia has always had great magical powers." "Yes, without Xia Dong, the Chinese business consortium could not grow to its current scale." "..." Luo Xueyuan smiled helplessly. "Well, dear directors, let''s get back to the topic, what do you think of this proposal?" "Of course I agree." "I agree!" "This kind of good thing must be supported!" "..." All the directors here expressed their support, and Luo Xueyuan''s first proposal after taking office was passed unanimously! "Okay, then I will go to work tomorrow, I believe there will be results soon." "Everyone hold on again and continue to stabilize the company. We must let the enemy know that our Chinese business consortium is not weak, but stronger than before!" ¡­ Just when Luo Xueyuan and Song Huaigu and other directors of Chinese Commercial Bank held an interim board of directors overnight. Luo Wang has found a suitable mobile phone meeting. That night, the frustrated Wu Honglin ran to a bar under his management to vent his emotions. And just after he went to the toilet, he was secretly killed by the people who stayed in the toilet in advance by the net. It wasn''t until the two bodyguards waiting outside the toilet that Wu Honglin waited for a long time without seeing Wu Honglin, they pushed open the compartment doors one by one and found Wu Honglin who had been killed! After the news came back to Wu''s house, UU read www.uukanshu. Com Wu''s house shook again. And Evelyn Roshere also learned of this amazing news not long after, and realizing that it was not good, he hurriedly went to Jacob Rosill to discuss countermeasures. In the hospital. Even after ten o''clock, Wu Hongyi was still lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the photo of his wife, mourning the tragic death of his dead wife. At this moment, Li Hongchang, the old housekeeper who had taken care of him since he was a child, suddenly hurried in. "Patriarch, something has happened." "What''s up?" "Second Lord Wu Honglin is dead!" "what?!" "Wu Honglin is dead?" ps: I have to finish these days, please forgive me. ~: Im not a eunuch, wait until we get married this week If you get married in a hasty way, you can actually do the wine casually without much effort. However, my wife and I have a different concept from many people. This once-in-a-lifetime thing requires excellence in every aspect, so it takes a lot of time and energy. Please forgive me when I get married this week to resume the update! You can also see that the new plot is almost ready. After you are finished, please light up this plot as soon as possible. Please bear with me in the next few days! thanks "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Hero" is not an eunuch. Waiting for this week to get married and is being hit by hands. Please wait a moment. After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1443: More than 40 billion returned "How did he die?" Wu Hongyi wanted to struggle to sit up, but when he saw the photo of his wife, he stopped thinking and asked in a mutter. The housekeeper Li Hongchang told the truth: "I didn''t go to see the specific scene, but according to the family feedback, the second master was killed in the toilet of the Fenglin Bar. The time of death was between 9.40 and 9.50. , The murderer hasn''t caught it yet." "in addition¡­" "What else?" "Uncle Chang, just talk about it, I can bear it." Seeing Li Hongchang hesitating to speak, Wu Hongyi glanced at him and asked softly. "Patriarch, in fact, in the bathroom where the second master was killed, a small paper box was found on the ground, and there was a dead mouse in the box." After Li Hongchang finished talking about the situation, he secretly paid attention to Wu Hongyi''s face. In Chinese culture, the mouse is not a symbol of good meaning, and it is still a dead mouse, which means more. really. After listening to the latter sentence, Wu Hongyi''s face changed. "Carton?" "dead mouse?" So, in the eyes of the murderer, Wu Honglin is a mouse? So **** it? Mouse...traitor? Wu Hongyi thought more and more. Originally, he had a mental breakdown because of his wife''s death, and because of the injury, he was also physically weak. At this time, he used his brain too much and suddenly felt dizzy. "Patriarch, don''t think about it, take a good rest." Li Hongchang was just afraid that Wu Hongyi would think more about it. Now that it was so, he hurriedly calmed down. Soon, Li Chunqiu was also invited. Under his massage, Wu Hongyi''s nerves eased a lot. Only this night, Wu Hongyi always had a shadow in his heart. He wanted to know the truth, but he didn''t dare to look for it... ¡­ The Rohir family also got the news. When Evelyn Rohill heard the news, he had just finished taking a bath and was about to discuss philosophy with the two ladies who were invited to his home. It was just this sudden news that completely lost his interest, so he hurriedly dressed and rushed to the family. Soon, Evelyn Rohill returned to the family residence. And Jacob Rohill just got up, checking specific information in the living room. "Jacob, just watch it. Do you think Xia Yu did this thing?" Seeing that Jacob Lowhill knew the specific situation, Evelyn Lowhill didn''t talk too much nonsense, and directly asked the most critical question. This question is also what he is thinking about along the way. "It is not certain that it is him, but his suspicion is the biggest." "According to this situation, our plan for the Chinese business consortium is likely to be leaked." Jacob Rohill looked a little ugly, shook his head and said. "I think so too. Wu Honglin was assassinated, and Wu Hongyi gave power to Xia Yu, so now no one in the Chinese business consortium can shake Xia Yu''s position." "We want to target the Chinese business consortium, the operation difficulty will be increased several times, hey..." Evelyn Rohill couldn''t help sighing, feeling frustrated. They also wanted to wait for an opportunity to kill Wu Hongyi, but they didn''t expect to find a chance yet, but Wu Honglin, who was under their control, was decisively assassinated by the enemy. "Tonight, Huashang Bank also held an interim board of directors. The specific content is not yet clear, but I have an unknown hunch that maybe the situation will be worse." "I also have this hunch, we have to speed up the action plan!" ¡­ The premonitions of Evelyn Rohill and Jacob Rohill are still very accurate. The next morning. Huashang Bank announced a piece of news, announcing that it has reached a comprehensive strategic partnership with Jiuding Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of Barings and Royal Bank of Scotland, and has obtained a total of eight billion pounds of credit lines from the five major banks! The other five banks also disclosed the news successively, proving that the strategic cooperation has indeed been reached. After the news spread, the middle and high-level managers of almost all companies of the Chinese Commercial Bank, including companies within the Chinese Consortium, were determined in their hearts. But after Jacob Roshere and Evelyn Roshere learned the news, their mood was as disgusting and uncomfortable as eating dung. As for those hostile companies that are battling with companies under the Chinese Business Consortium, they all feel troubled and have raised the intention to retreat. In the past, I wanted to bully the members of the Chinese Merchants Consortium for their poor background and energy consumption. But now, there are five major banks behind the China Merchants Bank, which is full of confidence. This move directly broke up the plans of the Rothschild family, and the pressure on the Chinese business consortium was drastically reduced! Seeing that it is impossible to eat the Huashang Bank, the Rohill family can only temporarily abandon this plan. However, the plan to attack the Xiangjiang and Jiuding consortium will not give up, and is still accelerating! They this action. Xia Yu, who had been monitoring the Hong Kong financial market for a long time, noticed the change in the first place. ¡­ "Hong Kong''s economy is booming, and the world''s 20th largest economy is just a new starting point! ¡· "The Pearl of the Orient shines more and more, and the potential of the new industrial structure is about to explode! ¡· "Asia''s second largest financial center? Backed by Southeast Asia, Hong Kong is expected to surpass Tokyo! ¡· "..." As the Rohill family and its allies continued to sell stocks in Xiangjiang, the major non-Jiuding media outlets seemed to have agreed and began to preach the future of Xiangjiang in unison. And these media also list various data, the description is well-founded, and people will be convinced when they read it. Under the propaganda of these media, Xiangjiang has emerged from the "Four Asian Dragons" and is already a giant dragon that is taking off. Now that the potential of Xiangjiang has not yet exploded, investing in Xiangjiang is the wisest choice. Especially in Southeast Asia, which has major entities and tertiary industries, and is backed by a huge population and market, Xiangjiang definitely has the potential to surpass island countries. The current status of the financial market is not in line with Xiangjiang''s status. Such remarks that greatly boost morale and national self-confidence not only make the local residents of Hong Kong self-confident, but also make investors in Southeast Asia ready to move. Hong Kong investors who are already good at stocks, waved their checks to the Hong Kong stock market, trying to get in the car when the stock market took off again. In the face of these remarks, although there are some newspapers calling for investors to be calm. However, the newspapers and media of the Jiuding family, which has the largest territory, rarely made relevant remarks! 4372.8 points! 4389.4 points! ¡­ 4435.7 points! 4485.1 points! Just one week. The Hang Seng Index rose by more than one hundred points! Behind such an increase is the daily turnover of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars! On Friday, the largest transaction volume even reached 18.24 billion Hong Kong dollars, more than twice the average daily transaction volume in the past. It can be seen that the increase in funds poured into the stock market this week at least exceeded 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. With the help of these funds, the total capital value of the Hong Kong stock market has finally reached a new peak of two trillion Hong Kong dollars! A series of zeros are seen in the newspapers. For investors, it is a blast and excitement. Even if the market is closed on the weekend, the talks about stock market investment are still lively. On Xia Yu''s side, he also received the specific situation of Huo Jianning''s collection and integration. UU reading www.uukanshu. com In the first week, all of its companies sold a total of 14.575 billion Hong Kong dollars in return from stocks. In the second week, all of its companies sold a total of 32.716 billion Hong Kong dollars in return from stocks. A total of 47.291 billion Hong Kong dollars was returned from circulation in the two weeks. In terms of selling stocks, Xia Yugan was more ruthless than S.G. Warburg, Cerberus Capital Management, British Golden Forest Asset Management and other companies. And because Xia Yu is best at doing this kind of things, Xiangjiang is his base camp. He has numerous shell companies in his hands. The stocks are being sold quickly and fiercely, and it is not easy to be spotted. And because of the mixed market transactions, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was tightly controlled by Liu Tianci, and the information was difficult to leak, so that the outsiders did not know the specific data of the transactions of various financial companies. only! When the Rohill family and a group of allies gathered for a weekend to gather data, the situation was still exposed... v3 Chapter 1444: Run away from disadvantaged bears This time, the person in charge of Xiangjiang''s operation is Jacob Rosill. The number of participants is small, but each is a powerful generation. The main force among them, of course, is capital from the United Kingdom. After all, Xiangjiang is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, and only by uniting enough local British forces can the Rothschild family be able to successfully implement the plan. In a secret manor near London, Jacob Rohill, Evelyn Rohill, Nelson Longo, Terrence Warburg, Steve Calvin, and Cesar Hober More than twenty people including Peter, York Randolph, Eric Schroeder, etc. gathered together. The meeting was chaired by Jacob Rohill. Without too much nonsense, after making sure that everyone was there, and everyone got the information, Jacob Rohill started the meeting. "Everyone, today we are summoning everyone to come and meet, mainly to sort out the status quo of the implementation of the plan and study the next move." "According to the information collected by me, the atmosphere in Xiangjiang is very weird. Our opponent must have found anomalies and must have taken countermeasures." "However, because of the particularity of the Hong Kong financial market, we have shortcomings in the control of financial information. Not to mention the relatively lagging news, the most important thing is the inability to grasp the most accurate data." "Everyone reads the information in hand before expressing their opinions." "If you feel that there is a difference between the information you have and the information collected here, please submit it for verification as soon as possible to eliminate the risk..." "Swish..." After Jacob Rohill finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded, then opened the materials and read them carefully. soon. Everyone read all the information in their hands, and many people frowned. Obviously, the content of the information made them feel bad. "Jacob, Xiangjiang''s daily transaction volume has exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars this week. The transactions are very complicated. There are many ambiguities in the information you collect here, which greatly affects analysis and judgment." Eric Schroeder, the president of the Schroder Group and the owner of the Schroder family, couldn''t help but complain. The Schroder Group was established in 1804 and has always been in the hands of the Schroder family. It is a top asset management group in the UK. It is worth mentioning that the Schroder Group has taken root in Xiangjiang for a long time. Especially in 1971, the Schroder Group also specially established a subsidiary in Xiangjiang-Baoyuan Investment Management Co., Ltd., which has always been an institution of Xiangjiang. , Pension funds, private clients and mutual fund investors to provide services. As far as the understanding of Xiangjiang is concerned, the Schroder Group can be said to be a leader among the more than 20 companies present here. "Eric is right, and the information here is not detailed enough. For example, our Golden Forest Asset Management Company''s operational objectives did not collect information, and it is impossible to compare the accuracy of the information." Cize Hobert, president of the British Golden Forest Asset Management Company, also raised questions. "Yes..." Soon, several people came forward to comment. Jacob Rohill was not angry. After waiting patiently for everyone to finish speaking, he calmly said: "I know all these questions. This is the root reason why I specially organized everyone to meet tonight." "The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is controlled by the Jiuding Consortium. They have the home court advantage. This is a fact that cannot be changed." "Now these materials can only be collected because they bought their internal traitors. Unfortunately, in terms of information management, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is very strict and it is difficult to obtain all the information." "Jacob is right, everyone understand." Terrence Warburg said with a smile, which eased the atmosphere a lot. After the death of Simmons Warburg, the ZTE leader of the Warburg family, Terrence Warburg took over the S.G. Warburg company a few years ago, but compared to his father, his ability It''s a lot worse. However, Terrence Warburg also followed the instructions left by his father during his lifetime to further deepen his relationship with the Roshir family, so he was the leader of the Roshir family on many occasions. I have to say that this is a kind of weakening for S.G. Warburg, but for the Warburg family, it is a relatively safe method. "Let me talk first." "On our side, the total amount of gambling agreements signed reached 51.34 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 22.73 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks have been sold, and the remaining stocks are still in hand." Jacob Rohill slapped a sample and told the secret data. But he still concealed some data, such as Fuying. In the past two months, the Hang Seng Index has risen, and most of the stocks have also risen. The Lohill family has successively gambling and borrowed stocks, and they have also been sold little by little in the past two months. The 22.73 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks he mentioned were only calculated based on the stock price when the gambling agreement was signed. If calculated based on the returned funds, it must be more than 22.73 billion Hong Kong dollars. Otherwise, the Rohill family hasn''t been in vain for these two months? Profits are their own business. The purpose of uniting together is only for action and victory, but it is not said that profits are first integrated and then distributed... "We at Cerberos Capital have signed a total of 22.19 billion Hong Kong dollars in gambling agreements. So far, we have sold 8.48 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, clearing 38.2%, and the speed is much slower." Steve Calvin said second. Someone immediately recorded these data. "Our Longao Asset Management Company is a bit late to enter the market. We hold a total of 15.87 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks. We have sold 5.11 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks, which is nearly 70%." Nelson Longo shook his head helplessly and said. The Longao Asset Management Company controlled by their Longao family has a very long history. It was founded in 1796 and is a top private investment bank located in Geneva, Switzerland. "Our Deep Sea Fund..." "..." After more than 20 people finished speaking, the latest statistics came out. The stocks and bonds they short borrowed are worth as much as 231.84 billion Hong Kong dollars. They have sold about 40.8% at a high level, leaving 137.25 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks in their hands. This batch of stocks, now you don¡¯t need to think about it, the value is definitely more than 140 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is very difficult to cash out all of them! After learning this data, Jacob Rohill felt a headache. He glanced around and said with a dignified expression: "Everyone, it seems that our plan has not been implemented smoothly." "There are still so many stocks in our hands. If our key plan is launched, even if it succeeds, we will make too little profit." They only sold more than 90 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks. Even if the Hong Kong stocks were cut, they smoothly bargained the bottom and returned the borrowed stocks, and the profit was only more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. There are more than 20 shorts here, with an average of only about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars each. What''s more, this is not an average. After all, the Rohill family alone occupies nearly a quarter of the share, so there are still short positions that are relatively small, and it is not bad to be able to obtain a profit of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. This profit is too disappointing for everyone who has high expectations and has gathered here. "Jacob, although the Hong Kong stock market is very active now, there are too many smart people. In addition to us, there are many institutions selling stocks, which makes our moves very unsuccessful." "Now the Hong Kong stocks must be stable, otherwise the Hong Kong stocks will collapse. Then we hold so many stocks, all the floating profits now have to be filled in, maybe we will lose money in the end!" York Randolph, president of the Dutch Deep Sea Fund, reminded solemnly. "Yes, our current plan has to be kept secret, so don''t detonate it for now." "We need enough time to sell most of the stock." "Of course, we also have to change our previous plan of steadily fleeing, otherwise other agencies will have no choice but to take the lead in vain." "It''s just that it''s very difficult. It needs to be agreed by everyone here to avoid cannibalism." "I agree!" "I agree too!" "agree!" "..." When it comes to vital interests all of them agree. It''s just that, all the pressure has been transferred to Jacob Rohill. He had planned to do it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams, so that Xia Yu had a longer time to prepare, lest the lightning raid became a head-on and protracted offensive and defensive battle. It''s just the status quo that makes him feel tricky. If you let him know that their fleeing was so unsuccessful, it was because Xia Yu ran away 47.291 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks, and he had to be outraged by internal injuries! For a moment, in the face of many scorching eyes, Jacob Rohill could only cross his hands, closed his eyes and meditated. The room was suddenly silent... v3 Chapter 1445: Up to 3 more weeks! The reason why so many people can unite to act in concert. After all, the pie drawn by Jacob Rohill is enticing enough. I''m already rushing to eat the cakes, but I haven''t filled my mouth or swallowed it in my stomach. There is still a risk of vomiting it all up. Everyone''s choice, Jacob Rohill can also understand. And to be honest, so far, it has taken more than two months to borrow 51.34 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, and now it has sold 44.3%, not even half. Jacob Rohill was also unwilling to launch an offensive like this. After all, if all the remaining borrowed stocks are sold smoothly, and the offense can finally be completed, it means tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in profits, which is not a small amount! therefore. Even if the pressure in my heart is great. Jacob Rohill still obeyed everyone''s choice. "Okay, I understand what everyone means." "We slow down the plan." "But we have to understand that the longer we delay, the more time we have to prepare for our prey, the greater the risk we will take, and the lower the probability of success will be." "So I hope everyone can have a unified opinion and set an exact time. At that time, whether we have successfully completed the stock cash out, the plan will start." "What do you think?" After Jacob Rohill finished speaking, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces. Everyone looked at each other, and after Terrence Warburg took the lead, they nodded in agreement. "I agree!" "I have no opinion!" "Jacob said well, second!" "..." Jacob Rohill smiled on his face, took a sip of coffee and said again: "Okay, then what we have to determine now is a specific time." "How long do you think you will wait?" "One month! After all, we still have more than 140 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks that have not yet been liquidated. Now the Hong Kong stocks are very hot, but the average daily trading volume is only more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. It''s only about 300 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Our volume accounts for about half of this transaction volume. At present, we have not yet reached this clearance ratio, so one month is still relatively tight for us." "But if the time exceeds one month, it will be too long. Everyone can work hard and find a way to ship off-site. One month should be fine." Saidze Hobart said. He had just finished speaking, and someone immediately retorted: "One month is too long. Now we have made it so obvious that we have manipulated the media to speculate on Hong Kong stocks. It is difficult for us to maintain this enthusiasm within a month." "Don''t forget, our prey has the name of the king of the media. In terms of controlling public opinion, he is no worse than we are here." "And with his acumen, it is impossible not to notice the abnormality, but the media under his banner did not have a very obvious attitude this week. This is the biggest anomaly!" "One month''s time will give him plenty of time to prepare, and we may be at great risk." "Based on the above analysis, I think half a month is the most appropriate." "I think everyone should try their best to make off-market shipments so that shipments are faster, relatively hidden, and it is not easy to fluctuate the stock price on the market." Someone objected again: "Half a month is too short, I think three weeks is the best..." "In fact, it should be less difficult for us to ship later. The total market value of Hong Kong stocks exceeds two trillion Hong Kong dollars. The specific circulating market value is temporarily unavailable. If we calculate according to the ratio of 33%, the circulating market value will only be more than 600 billion Hong Kong dollars. ." "Excluding those who have completed the transaction before, there are still some tradable stocks that insist on going long and not selling. In fact, we hold the most tradable stocks in our hands." "As long as the original major shareholders of major companies in Hong Kong stocks do not take the opportunity to cash out and increase the proportion of the market value in circulation, then it should not be too difficult for us to ship." ¡­ Each one expresses his own opinions and strives for reasons. Institutions that have already sold more stocks and institutions with a small short-selling volume have little pressure on shipments and have relatively strong confidence to complete shipments in a short time. Therefore, I hope to implement the plan as soon as possible to reduce risks. For institutions with relatively large short-selling such as Cerberus Capital Management and Long Ao Asset Management, it is more difficult to sell stocks, so I hope to have a longer time to sell stocks to withdraw funds. Different interests naturally lead to different positions, even if they are now allies in the same trench! Jacob Rohill and Evelyn Rohill both sounded big. But there is no other way but to appease the people and keep the patience to preside over the meeting. In the end, after nearly an hour of intense discussion, it was finally approved by a unanimous vote, and everyone was given three more weeks to clear their positions. After March and Monday, no matter whether the scheduled clearance plan is completed or not, no longer wait, and immediately start the smashing offensive! ¡­ Hong Kong stocks will restart next Monday. After two days of public opinion over the weekend, Hong Kong stocks rose more than 15 points at the opening of the market. Conspirators who used the weekend to prepare well have stepped up their efforts to sell stocks. As long as it is guaranteed not to smash the market''s gains, we will make efforts to ship products. On Xia Yu''s side, major institutions are also increasing their shipments. On Monday morning, Xia Yu personally came to Jiuding Securities Company. Yuan Tianfan, who succeeded Wang Qi in charge of Jiuding Securities, sits in the operation room. "Hello, Chairman!" Seeing Xia Yu''s arrival, Yuan Tianfan immediately greeted him respectfully. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, patted Yuan Tianfan on the shoulder, and asked kindly: "Tianfan, is the shipment going smoothly?" Yuan Tianfan immediately replied: "It''s relatively smooth. We are not only investing in the stocks we bought before we gradually sold out as planned, but we are also helping brother companies sell stocks. The process is also orderly." "That''s good!" Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said. Some listed companies in the consortium, such as Galaxy Film Company, Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group, etc., can reduce their holdings of some of the shares of cross-shared brother companies to withdraw funds. Buy back the stock. Of course, for the safety of his company, Xia Yu¡¯s family office has all set the indicators for each company in the consortium, and the line has been drawn. Anyway, he is not allowed to cross the red line! The so-called red line is to ensure that the consortium as a whole holds more than 66.7% of the equity in the core company to ensure that there is no risk of infiltration by the enemy. "Go ahead and leave me alone!" Xia Yu walked behind a trader and found that the trader was a little uncomfortable, so he couldn''t help but said softly. After all, Jiuding Securities Company is not in the period when he is in charge. As the head of the consortium, Xia Yu has rarely visited the front line to track operations. Now Jiuding Securities Company is becoming larger and larger, with many employees, but few people can contact him. , So Xia Yu can understand the strangeness of the trader. After looking at the back of several traders and listening to the dispatching instructions of the person in charge of the operation room, Xia Yu couldn''t help but nod slightly. This action made Yuan Tianfan next to him secretly relieved. Xia Yu observed that these traders are indeed elites, placing orders quickly and ruthlessly, and they are indeed very good in terms of leading the way. Of course, the problem is not without it. Xia Yu found a problem, that is, when the trader places orders, he still looks at the market. uukanshu. com wants to ship at the highest possible price. But in this way, there are very high requirements on the timing of shipment and the shipment volume of each order. Taking into account the shipping price will affect the efficiency of shipping. Xia Yu doesn''t really care about the difference of a few cents or one Hong Kong dollar per share, even if each cent has a huge stock of ready-to-wear. What he cares about is shipping efficiency! After reading it, Xia Yu called Yuan Tianfan to the office, and when he sat down to drink tea, he instructed Yuan Tianfan: "Tianfan, during the noon break, you have to gather people for a meeting to unify your thoughts." "Don''t worry about the market. It doesn''t matter if the market is upside down, or let the market fluctuate or fall. I only have one requirement to increase shipments. You must complete the shipment plan in the shortest time!" "We are shipping, and the enemy is also shipping. I don''t want the enemy to sell too many stocks at a high position." "Do you understand it?" v3 Chapter 1446: When one child falls, all the enemies panic! "Understand, I must follow your instructions to implement!" Yuan Tianfan held up his chest and responded loudly to Xia Yu''s instructions. "Um!" "Do it hard, and report it as soon as possible." A touch of appreciation flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and he patted Yuan Tianfan on the shoulder and exhorted. "Thank you for the chairman''s encouragement, I will continue to work hard!" ¡­ After drinking a cup of tea, Xia Yu left Jiuding Securities. Taking into account that other financial institutions under his command may not understand his true intentions, the same problems as Jiuding Securities Co. appear. So Xia Yu went to the Jiuding Financial Building, convened the heads of major institutions, and opened a dispatch meeting to unify his thoughts. As a result of this move, after the reopening of trading on Monday afternoon, the trading of Hong Kong stocks became extremely fierce. The market, which was still climbing steadily, is shaking violently. Such a wild sale offensive completely disrupted other short-term combat plans. This afternoon, the major institutions in Central were full of anger. Almost every organization held an emergency meeting after the market closed to study and analyze the current situation and readjust its combat plan. But Xia Yu didn''t bother to care about these. After the end of today, according to the data of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange reported by Liu Tianci, the day''s trading volume exceeded 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, reaching 20.753 billion Hong Kong dollars. And the dozens of institutions on Xia Yu''s side, combined, withdrew 8.422 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds, accounting for 40.6% of the entire day''s transaction volume! This is a pretty scary proportion! After all, today is different from the past. The total market value of Hong Kong stocks now exceeds two trillion Hong Kong dollars, not the stock market that was only a few hundred billion Hong Kong dollars back then! On Tuesday, Hong Kong stocks continued to fluctuate, and trading remained fierce. Once again, it maintained a breakthrough of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Xia Yu''s return of funds reached a new high again, reaching 9.218 billion Hong Kong dollars. But the consequence was that the Hang Seng Index closed 7 points lower than it closed on Monday. On Wednesday, 8.184 billion Hong Kong dollars were returned again, and the Hang Seng Index fell 10 points again. The funds returned in three days were 25.824 billion Hong Kong dollars. Together with the previously withdrawn funds, Xia Yu has already cashed out 73.115 billion Hong Kong dollars from the stock market. On the basis of 100 billion U.S. dollars, the current capital has increased by more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. And after three days passed. The direction of public opinion has changed significantly. Although Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding newspaper still has no obvious bad-mouthing or good-sounding stance, many financial writers in other financial media have urged investors to invest calmly and analyze the current chaotic situation, which is an abnormal market. On Thursday and Friday, the trading volume of Hong Kong stocks did not exceed 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and market sentiment began to calm down. When the market closed on Friday, the Hang Seng Index closed at 4388.4 points, and the total market value of Hong Kong stocks fell below two trillion Hong Kong dollars! In the past two days, Xia Yu''s clearance plan has also become more difficult, and only 12.429 billion Hong Kong dollars have been returned in the two days. A total of 85.544 billion Hong Kong dollars has been cashed out before and after, which has reached Xia Yu''s psychological expectations. Xia Yu didn''t want to wait any longer! Although the Hang Seng Index has fallen back to a certain level, 4388.4 points are still very high. He didn''t want to let the enemy continue to cash out in such a high position. Even if he has hundreds of billions of dollars in funds, he will have to make a big effort when the time comes. It is not easy to exceed the current height of 4388.4 points. Want to rise to a higher position, the difficulty is even greater. The greater the downside, the more profit the bears will reap. The smaller the upside, the smaller the risks and losses for shorts. How to choose, fools can tell clearly. So early Saturday morning. The Jiuding newspaper finally opened its fangs. "Stocks are risky, investment needs to be cautious!"-"Jiuding Daily" "Warning! Shareholders of major listed companies are scrambling to reduce their holdings!"-"Nanyang Commercial Daily" "Beware of the abyss under the flowers!"-"Sing Tao Daily" "Comprehensive analysis of the weird trend of Hong Kong stocks in the past month."-"South China Morning Post" "..." The sales of Jiuding newspapers are very strong, and with the help of the most complete channels, Jiuding newspapers can easily cover and reform Asia. The reason why Hong Kong stocks are so prosperous is that investors outside of Hong Kong have played a huge role. At this time, the major newspapers urged investors to calm down, and even poured cold water on them. Many investors have come to their senses. It''s a pity that the market is not open on weekends. Even if some investors want to sell some stocks to reduce risk, there is no way to implement it. With such a big change in public opinion, the branches of the major bears in Xiangjiang immediately reported the situation to them. ¡­ "Jacob, as you guessed it, Xia Yu doesn''t want us to cash out smoothly!" "This is the specific situation. Take a closer look." When Evelyn Lowhill got the news, it was late at night in London and he was ready to rest, but he got up in a hurry by the news, knocked on Jacob Lowhill¡¯s door and called him Wake up. Jacob Rohill is also in a bad mood. He took the fax from Evelyn Rohill, only to look at it for a while, and his face went dark. After reading it, he was upset and threw the fax directly onto the tea table. "Sure enough it really happened." Evelyn Rohill asked hurriedly: "Jacob, judging from the current situation, the plan we renegotiated last week has to be readjusted." Jacob Rohill drank some water and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. "Evelyn, how far has our cash out plan been implemented this week?" Evelyn Roshir already has this data. He directly said: "This week we cashed out 10.83 billion Hong Kong dollars." "In addition to the previous data, we hold 51.34 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks. At present, we still have 18.16 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, and 33.18 billion Hong Kong dollars left. Actually sold back 35.12 billion Hong Kong dollars, and temporarily made a profit of 19.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Billion Hong Kong dollars." "Of course, this floating profit does not take into account the true profit and loss of the other 18.16 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks." Jacob Rosier narrowed his eyes slightly, chewing on the amount of "18.16 billion Hong Kong dollars". After a few seconds, his face darkened again. With regard to the stocks of more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, if the plan agreed last week is executed smoothly, the liquidation will definitely be completed in the next two weeks. But now, the public opinion situation of Xiangjiang has changed suddenly, and the difficulty of selling smoothly will rise. "Jacob, we must convene everyone again." "But I personally suggest that the current Hang Seng Index is still very high, and we simply do not consider redundant factors and influences, and make every effort to liquidate stocks." "Even if the Hang Seng Index falls below 4,000 points, as long as our stocks can be sold, then we will definitely make a profit." After Evelyn Roshir sighed, he refreshed himself and gave Jacob Roshir a pertinent suggestion. "I know that the situation changes suddenly, and we must also change with it." ¡­ Many people here in the UK cannot sleep well. On the Xiangjiang side, it''s still Saturday in broad daylight, so it''s even more impossible to get a good night''s sleep. Li Jiacheng didn''t even go to the company at home, and was shocked by the content of the newspaper. His son Li Zekai''s reaction was even greater. "Dad, it seems that things are not going well, so many newspapers have published articles in large and multiple lengths. This is a bad example of Hong Kong stocks." "This must be Xia Yu''s conspiracy!" "Dad, did you say that Xia Yu discovered our actions?" With a ghost in his heart, Li Zekai''s nerves became very sensitive. "Impossible, don''t guess!" Li Jiacheng scolded immediately. It''s just that he didn''t know it, his tone was not as firm as usual under this severe humiliation. Li Zekai shut up immediately and lowered his head not knowing what to say. at this time. The phone on the desktop rang suddenly. "Ring Ling Ling..." Li Zekai, who was worried, was taken aback. After seeing that it was the phone, he glanced at his father Li Jiacheng, and then honestly answered the phone. "Hey...oh, good morning, Uncle Zheng!" "Yes, my dad is at home, do you want to come over, I will call him." Li Zekai covered the microphone and whispered to Li Jiacheng: "Dad, UU Reading is Zheng Yutong, so I should also ask about this." Then he handed the phone to his father Li Jiacheng. They hung up without saying a few words. But Zheng Yutong¡¯s phone call seemed to be a signal, and soon Luo Yingshi, Lin Baixin, Yang Shoucheng, Liu Luanxiong and others called and asked about the situation. Especially Liu Luanxiong, who is already well-known in the financial market, is even more like burning his ass. These Chaoshan Gang members are Li Jiacheng''s hard-core allies. Li Jiacheng let out a long sigh of relief as soon as he connected more than a dozen phones, but then his head swelled again. The situation has changed suddenly, and the allies who participated in the secret operation are uneasy. Isn''t he? It''s just that he, as the leader of the plan, must carry it and figure out the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, he is afraid of overturning! v3 Chapter 1447: Xia Yu definitely cant spend 500 billion Hong Kong dollars! Chapter 1447 Xia Yu definitely can''t spend 500 billion Hong Kong dollars! Soon, Li Jiacheng''s allies of the Chaoshan Gang came to his home one after another. Zheng Yutong of New World, Luo Yingshi of Yingjun Group, and Lin Baixin of Lai Sun Group are all on the same level as Li Jiacheng. Then there are Liao Liewen in banking, Liu Luanxiong in finance, and Yang Shoucheng in real estate and entertainment. Li Jiacheng, a Chaoshan Gang group, has a total of 25 people. Most of them are involved in the real estate industry more or less. Of course, I thought that the incident happened suddenly and some members of the group were not in Xiangjiang, so they did not rush to Li Jiacheng''s home to gather. "Dad, except for those who are not in Xiangjiang, everyone else has arrived." After Li Zekai verified the number, he immediately reported to his father who was chatting with Zheng Yu. This sentence was also heard by the people around him, and the noisy living room instantly quieted down. "Then there is no need to wait, time is urgent, let''s get down to business now." Li Jiacheng glanced at the list and said to Zheng Yutong, Luo Yingshi and Lin Baixin. The three nodded. "Let''s start!" Li Jiacheng took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, everyone knows the news. The Jiuding newspaper has a very clear stand. There is no doubt that this was instructed by that one, and his behavior was rather abnormal." "That''s why everyone is nervous, but the closer we get to the critical moment, the more we have to deal with it calmly." "If you have any worries and ideas, you can put them forward now, and we will brainstorm and resolve them together." As soon as Li Jiacheng''s voice fell, his little brother Liu Luanxiong said impatiently: "Everyone, then Xia Yu has always hoped that the Hong Kong financial market will strengthen. Now he looks down on Hong Kong stocks. What is the purpose?" "We are cashing out at a high position. Needless to say, the purpose of short-selling Hong Kong stocks is that Xia Yu is our enemy and prey. Now his actions are consistent with ours. Is it possible that he has seen the problem and is ready to abandon Xiangjiang Finance? Protect yourself from the market?" Liao Liewen shook his head and said, "This shouldn''t be it. After all, the financial institutions of the Jiuding Consortium have lent too many stocks. The decline in the stock market will only harm him and no good. No matter how the process changes, his purpose will never change! " "Before I came, I took the time to inquire about the news. I haven''t heard of which institution the Jiuding Consortium will bet against." "Since there is no short bet, it is impossible to hedge the losses caused by the decline in Hong Kong stocks!" Although Liu Luanxiong is now engaged in finance, the Liao Liewen family has been in the financial industry for decades after all. Liu Luanxiong is naturally inferior to Liao Liewen in terms of contacts and intelligence. Since Liao Liewen said so, his hypothesis was naturally overturned. Liu Luanxiong opened his mouth, but still did not continue to express his opinions. He looked at other people, wanting to hear their opinions. "Mr. Liao is right, so the current logic of reality is contradictory. We must figure out the real purpose of Xia Yu''s doing this!" Yang Shoucheng said solemnly. Just then. Lin Baixin helped the Phnom Penh round-frame glasses and said quietly: "I suspect Xia Yu is trying to seize the initiative." "He may be aware of the danger, so he dare not let the Hong Kong stocks develop frantically." "Mr. Liu is right in saying that Xia Yu has always hoped that the Hong Kong financial market will strengthen." "Strengthening the Hong Kong financial market is also the core industry of the Hong Kong government''s firmest long-term strategy." "So I guess, Xia Yu doesn''t want us to reap wantonly. It may be that he wants to preserve the vitality of investors and avoid a collapse in the future." "This is the initiative to cool down Hong Kong stocks and control the general direction of Hong Kong stocks." "Mr. Lin makes sense!" "Mr. Lin did say the key point. It is logical to analyze it according to this possibility, and it also fits Xia Yu''s motives." "..." Lin Baixin''s words made many people''s faces stunned, and they all praised them. "According to Mr. Lin''s analysis, Xia Yu is a periodical control, at most one or two months, before the gambling contract expires, will Hong Kong stocks be speculated for sure?" Yang Shoucheng was a little nervous. He took advantage of his high position to cash out the stocks of many companies, and at the same time borrowed some stocks to go short with this opportunity. He wants to see Hong Kong stocks fail to fall in one or two years. Luo Yingshi sneered and said, "That would have to make him stir up!" "Everyone, if Xia Yu is really in control, then we don''t need to worry so much. Instead, we can continue to take the opportunity to cash out." "I''m afraid, he doesn''t control the market, but allows Hong Kong stocks to plummet!" "Does he want to hit the plate first, and then hold up the entire market with his own strength?" Zheng Yu narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself. Although Zheng Yutong was whispering to himself, he was still heard by others. Within a short time, the house became quiet. For a long time... Liao Liewen said uncertainly: "This is impossible, is he capable of holding up the entire market?" "Now we and the shareholders of many listed companies are cashing out stocks, and the circulating market value of the stock market may reach 40%. According to the current total market value, this is as high as seven or eight hundred billion Hong Kong dollars!" "Even if the stock market is cut down, he will entrust the entire market with a total of three to four hundred billion Hong Kong dollars. This is still the amount of funds he can demand under the premise of perfect operation at the trough." "According to my estimation, to achieve the effect Xia Yu wants, no matter how much more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars have to be spent." "That Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium is very strong, yes, he also controls the Southeast Asian Consortium." "But he can use more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds?" Everyone looked at each other, and they didn''t believe Xia Yu and his ability could be obtained! "I don''t believe he can mobilize so much funds!" "If he really has so much money, can Xiangjiang still have a place for us?" "One of us here counts as one, and he has long been suppressed by him!" Li Jiacheng finally spoke up at this time, and he categorically stated his point of view. To say that Xia Yu''s Jiuding Consortium has assets of more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, that''s for sure. They have all investigated, and the general situation alone can determine that its assets exceed 500 billion Hong Kong dollars. After all, just under the Jiuding Financial Group, the assets of major banks, securities companies, and insurance companies are a huge amount. But assets belong to assets, and liquidity belongs to liquidity! This is totally different! "I don''t believe it either!" Liu Luanxiong also said firmly. "I follow Jiuding Securities every day. As far as I know, the assets of Jiuding Securities will not exceed 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. This company is the company with the largest cash flow in the Jiuding Consortium, and it has more cash flow than Jiuding Bank." "A lot of the funds of Jiuding Securities are trapped in various listed companies of the Jiuding Consortium. It is impossible for Xia Yu to let Jiuding Securities sell these shares, so the funds cannot be untied." "Five hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, don''t even think about it!" "Then Xia Yu can draw out 200 billion Hong Kong dollars of working capital, I will kneel down directly for him!" Liu Luanxiong is typically a frog at the bottom of the well. He has been spinning around in the Xiangjiang financial market. He did not know that Jiuding Securities is now a top global investment bank. Heungjiang Jiuding Securities only occupies about one-third of the assets of Jiuding Securities. ! "So, no matter how much Xia Yu struggles, he will definitely lose?" Luo Yingshi said with a smile. "Surely lose!" "Yes, even with his allies, it is impossible to have so much liquidity!" "..." "Don''t be too optimistic, everyone!" At this moment, Lin Baixin poured cold water. The atmosphere that was gradually warm and relaxed became awkward in an instant. Lin Baixin looked at Li Jiacheng and said: "Mr. Li, our current analysis is still based on the situation that Hong Kong stocks will plummet." "If Hong Kong stocks do not plummet or the impact is not far-reaching, then market sentiment may not be panic enough." "Investors do not follow the trend to sell stocks, then Xia Yu may not need 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, maybe one or two hundred billion Hong Kong dollars is enough to support the entire stock market and bring the Hang Seng Index back to its current high level!" "Mr. Lee, we believe in you, in the Rohill family, don''t let everyone down!" In the face of everyone''s scorching eyes, Li Jiacheng''s pressure increased sharply. But at this time, he could not show any guilty conscience. He glanced around the crowd, and said without rush: "Don''t worry, everyone can''t say specific measures, but soon everyone will be able to see the results." "No matter how strong Xia Yu is!" "Don''t forget, the Rohill family is the old consortium, and Hong Kong is also in charge of the British!" "Victory is definitely ours!" "Everyone should think of a way to cash out as soon as possible." "But don''t forget, you still have to keep some stocks. Don''t let everyone have any stocks to smash when the time comes!" With Li Jiacheng''s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their opinions. "I''m relieved with your words, then wait for a while." "Then I will follow the original plan!" "Don''t worry, some stocks will definitely be left behind." ¡­ After unifying the thoughts, everyone''s mentality was restored to peace, and Li Jiacheng also took this opportunity to leave everyone at home for lunch. After lunch, everyone left one after another. Li Jiacheng was stuck in time, and secretly contacted Charles Rohill of Xiangjiang and asked the latter to send a message back to London. Things have progressed to such an extent, he can only go one way to the dark! Can only succeed, not fail! What Li Jiacheng didn''t know was that Xia Yu had already learned about the gathering in his family. Xia Yu sneered at this mob. Thinking of the situation reported by Luo Wang, Liu Luanxiong was determined that he could not bring out the pallet of 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Xia Yu could not help but sneer. A group of frogs at the bottom of the well! He doesn''t deserve to be his opponent at all! Just let them jump around for a while, and they will be able to clean up when they are behind! Two days of the weekend passed in a blink of an eye. In the past two days, especially on Sundays, Jiuding newspapers and some other newspapers that have been bought have been a needle-point-to-maimang. But overall, Xiangjiang is still the domain of Xia Yu, the king of media. No matter how the enemy manipulates the media to promote Hong Kong stocks, the general trend of public opinion is still controlled by Xia Yu. So after the opening of the market on Monday. There is no doubt that the Hang Seng Index fell, and most of the stocks fell at the opening. This is the voting by small and medium investors! But the bears are not vegetarian. At the beginning of the week, the stock market went like this, which would be extremely detrimental to their cash-out plan later. UU reading Therefore, the real big shorts instead mobilized part of the funds to take over, so that the Hong Kong stock market just fell for a few minutes, and the market began to rise. Seeing this situation, Xia Yu was not worried but happy. He gave an order and his subordinate institutions continued to sell stocks. Batches of sell orders were thrown out, and they were quickly eaten up, turning into sums of money into the account. It only lasted for half an hour...an hour... The big shorts realize that something is wrong, why the big selling orders are endless! The shorts who had unified the front can no longer sit still, and don''t want to be taken advantage of anymore. When the first one stopped taking orders and got back to business, the market, which had been in a volatile situation for more than an hour, finally began to fall again. And the downward momentum is getting stronger and stronger! v3 Chapter 1448: 1 special bill in the British Parliament 4378.2! 4335.5! 4327.8! ¡­ 4322.6! With the stock prices of major blue-chip stocks declining, the Hang Seng Index has continued to fall. By the time the market closed at noon, the Hang Seng Index had fallen to 4,207.3. The decline has reached 3.9%. The stock market has evaporated by more than 70 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, when the market was closed at noon, major institutions and investors calmed down a bit. Many institutions analyze the scope of the adjustment of the market should be about the same. After all, there is currently nothing that can have a huge impact on Hong Kong stocks. The adjustment of the decline is understandable, and there is no basis for a sharp plunge! Therefore, after the market reopened in the afternoon, the market was in violent volatility for the first half hour. Although the Hang Seng Index fell, it fell by less than seven points. Only half an hour passed, watching the sell orders in the market still continuously popped up. Those institutions that are taking over are in self-doubt. Why are there so many selling orders? ¡­ Monday is just the beginning. The next week. The trend of the broader market really makes long-term institutions and investors doubt their lives time and time again. Every time I thought that I had entered the market to buy the bottom, and the result was even lower! It can be said that all the way down and all the way to buy, to buy a life of doubt. When the market closed on Friday afternoon, the Hang Seng Index closed at 3738.2. Compared to when the market opened on Monday, the drop was as high as 14.6%! More than 280 billion Hong Kong dollars has evaporated from the entire market, and the total market value of Hong Kong stocks has fallen to 1.65 trillion Hong Kong dollars. On Friday night, after Xia Yu had dinner at home, Liu Tianci took advantage of the night to come to his home. "Chairman, good evening!" "Good evening, mistresses!" "God, come and sit down, have you eaten dinner?" Xia Yu greeted him with a gentle face, and asked with a smile. "Chairman, I came here after dinner." After Liu Tianci finished speaking, he sat down in a precarious manner. Xia Yu smiled, and pointed to the fruit on the tea table and said: "You don''t need to be so polite when you get to the house. Eat some fruit after dinner." "Okay." Liu Tianci relaxed now, put the documents he had brought aside, took a slice of orange and ate it. Xia Yu casually picked up the documents Liu Tianci had brought, and leaned on the sofa to read it. This is the weekly work report of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The core is the data. Xia Yu glanced at the table in the middle, recording the transaction volume this week. On Monday, the transaction volume was HK$12.871 billion. On Tuesday, the transaction volume was 11.428 billion Hong Kong dollars. On Wednesday, the transaction volume was 9.989 billion Hong Kong dollars. On Thursday, the transaction volume was 8.406 billion Hong Kong dollars. On Friday, the transaction volume was 7.237 billion Hong Kong dollars. Friday¡¯s transaction volume is already equivalent to the annual average transaction volume, just a little bit higher. And this average transaction volume is due to the explosion in transaction volume this month, which has increased the year-to-date average transaction volume. Looking at the spotlight, investors'' enthusiasm for trading has cooled down significantly. In one week, the total transaction volume was 49.931 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even the 50 billion Hong Kong dollar line can''t be touched in the field. The total trading volume on the floor is so low, and Xia Yu also knows that this week he has returned 9.487 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for nearly 20% of the trading volume. It is conceivable that the shorts have never cashed out much. Of course, he also knows that shorts also have a lot of stocks on the sidelines. It''s just that he doesn''t know how many specific transactions have been made. After all, over-the-counter transactions are not supervised by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and there is no way to supervise them. No matter how strong his snare is, it also focuses on non-commercial intelligence! But no matter what, those who are qualified to engage in over-the-counter transactions are competent institutions, and most of those who take over are overseas institutions, and Xia Yu doesn''t bother to worry about it. Anyway, as long as the short sells the goods at a low price. He didn''t want the shorts to hold the stocks all the time and return them in full. Under this circumstance, the stocks that the shorts still hold only pay some handling fees and interest, and they can''t make the shorts hurt their muscles and bones. This is not what Xia Yu wants to see. Later, Xia Yu read the entire document while eating fruit. The file not only contains analysis reports of various industries, but even has accurate data on the stock exchange volume of 542 listed companies. Xia Yu focused on the stock transactions of his own companies. After putting down the report. Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci, who had been waiting for a long time: "God, are the other directors on the exchange honest?" Liu Tianci nodded: "Chairman, they are very honest. We have absolute control over the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. These directors are smart people, so there is no fuss." "And!" "In the past two years, we have controlled all important positions in the exchange, and those directors have almost been emptied by us." "The only two who can be influential are the directors sent by the Hong Kong government, and Li Fuzhao. The directors of the Hong Kong government don''t care about things, and Li Fuzhao never fights for power, but will ask to share some benefits in the listing of new companies." It is normal to share some benefits, and Xia Yu knows that it is impossible to eat alone, otherwise it will cause internal chaos. He smiled and said: "That''s good, the exchange will take care of you, I didn''t see the wrong person." Liu Tianci showed a humble smile and thanked him hurriedly: "I have to thank the chairman for your cultivation..." "Well, there is no need to be so humble." Xia Yu waved his hand and interrupted Liu Tianci. Asked again: "Tell me about the real investment sentiment of the institutions you know. You can have the most direct contact with various institutions. The situation should be clearer than me." "Chairman..." Liu Tianci said what he had seen and heard. Xia Yu listened quietly. After a long time. Liu Tianci had already explained all the situation, and Xia Yu remained thinking. A few more minutes passed. Xia Yu returned to his senses, looked at Liu Tianci, and solemnly told him: "God, now the daily trading volume has returned to the average level, but the stock market has shrunk a lot, and the negative impact is not small." "I guess the enemy may not be able to bear it." "The next two weeks will be critical." "Anyway, the market cannot rise anyway. I will definitely control the market. The pressure on your side will not be small. You must do a stable job, understand?" Liu Tianci sat up straight and nodded heavily in response: "Chairman, please rest assured that I will not only fight downwinds. I can also hold strong winds and waves, and I will definitely not hold you back." Only then did Xia Yu smile, and nodded slightly: "Well, I can rest assured of you." "Take a good rest tonight, take a break for two days on the weekend, and continue to work hard next week." "Thank you, chairman, for your concern." "It''s getting late, Chairman, then I''ll go back first, so I won''t bother you to rest." After all, Liu Tianci got up and said goodbye. Xia Yu didn''t force him, but got up and sent him out to show his love. Xia Yu didn''t return to the house until Liu Tianci''s car left. This weekend, public opinion is still calling for investors to invest calmly. And Xia Yu once again urged Ma Qianjun to mobilize manpower to investigate the enemy''s real plan as soon as possible. After all, Xia Yu is a financial giant. He knows very well that he must have heavyweight weapons if he wants to collapse the financial market of a country or region. This weapon may be a commercial bomb, a loophole in the financial order, a flood of capital, and so on. Of course, it may also be a black swan incident. Only this time the enemy attacked in an orderly manner, so it could not be a black swan incident, it could only be a man-made crisis. Therefore, Xia Yu had already launched an effort to investigate. Not only was the Luo net dispatched, the Bright Fund and Xia Yu''s allies in the UK were also helping with the investigation. It''s just that so far, no clues have been found! Xia Yu knew that the enemy had guards, but guarding to such an extent really surprised him. It also made him more vigilant. In a flash, the new week''s working day has passed. This week, the average daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks at UU Kanshu was around HK$6.84 billion. The Hang Seng Index also continued to fall, closing at 3528.4 points on Friday afternoon, a decrease of 209.8 points in a week. And it''s this Saturday. It is already five o''clock in the afternoon in Xiangjiang. It''s only ten o''clock in the morning in London, England. On this day, the British Parliament held a special meeting to discuss two reform proposals. Just after the meeting had voted on the original two motions, many members thought that the meeting was about to adjourn. Suddenly. A congressman submitted a bill. After the bill was read out, the entire venue was like a bomb dropped on a calm lake, and it surged in an instant. v3 Chapter 1449: The extremely insidious "Proposal" "Re-examining the proposal of the Sino-British Joint Declaration from the perspective of British interests and democratic stability." The name of this bill alone is very popular. And the content, not to mention more. The whole "Proposal" actually consists of two parts. The first part is to examine whether the previously signed "Sino-British Joint Declaration" is reasonable and whether it is necessary to fully return the entire Xiangjiang River. The second part is to discuss the issues of democracy, the rule of law, and the construction of public security in Xiangjiang based on the status quo of Xiangjiang. In the "Proposal", the first part is very clear, and the spearhead is directed at the sovereignty of Xiangjiang. Hong Kong consists of three parts: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. Among them, Hong Kong Island was permanently ceded in the "Nanjing Treaty" signed by the British government and the Qing government after the end of the first Opium War in 1842. Kowloon was permanently ceded in the "Beijing Treaty" signed by the British government and the Qing government after the end of the Second Opium War in 1860. In the New Territories, in 1898, China and Britain signed a treaty, and the Qing government leased it to Britain for a term of 99 years. The "Proposal" states that Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories are essentially different in sovereignty. In the "Sino-British Joint Declaration", the first content is "The Government of China People''s Republic declares that the recovery of the Hong Kong area (including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the "New Territories", hereinafter referred to as Hong Kong) is the common aspiration of all Chinese people. The Government of the Republic decided to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong on July 1, 1997." The "Sino-British Joint Declaration" stated that the entire Xiangjiang should be returned. At the beginning, neither Elizabeth nor Margaret agreed, but after a series of consultations, they agreed. The "Proposal" now aims to overturn the signed "Sino-British Joint Declaration." At the same time, the "Proposal" also points out the area of ??more than 50 square kilometers that the Hong Kong government has increased by reclamation and land reclamation over the past 100 years. These land areas are not in the originally signed "Treaty". Various powers should belong to the builders. Britain, and cannot be used to return China. The second part of the "Proposal" is also extremely sinister, and the content is subdivided into many small points. For example, Hong Kong has the "Ordinance on Associations". As long as the governor suspects that an organization is colluding with foreign forces, he can declare the organization illegal and crack down without any evidence. However, the "Proposal" pointed out that the "Society Ordinance" was not democratic enough. In order to strengthen the construction of social democracy, it proposed to abolish the "Society Ordinance" so that anyone can register, and no organization will be banned. Another example is to strengthen the construction of the Hong Kong human rights system. The "Proposal" pointed out that since the United Nations issued the "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights" in 1976, Xiangjiang has not accepted it, and there have been loopholes in citizens'' economic, social and cultural rights. The "Proposal" suggests that Hong Kong needs to accept the "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights" in its entirety, and achieve results in restricting the death penalty and relaxing national household registration. Then, in terms of public security, the "Proposal" proposed to strengthen the building of British military forces, to increase the number of British troops stationed in Hong Kong, and to change their outfits to strengthen the building of air defense and naval forces. ¡­ All in all, the "Proposal to Re-examine the Sino-British Joint Declaration from the Perspective of British Interests and Democratic Stability" can be said to increase the degree of British control of Hong Kong by several levels. If such a bill is thrown out, it is strange that the Parliament does not fry the pot! Even Margaret Thatcher didn''t know the news in advance and was caught off guard. The moment she saw the motion, Margaret Thatcher wanted to eat people. After all, regardless of her reluctance to return to Xiangjiang before, she still signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which is one of her political achievements. But now that the "Proposal" is thrown out, it can be said that it has fundamentally denied the "Sino-British Joint Declaration", which is also denying her ability to govern. What makes her even more angry. It was a Labour Party member who threw this motion. As the leader of the Labour Party, she was actually cheated by the people below. For the first time, she wondered if someone in the Labour Party wanted to fight for power with her. The Conservative Party also followed suit. Therefore, when the vote was proposed, almost all of the Conservatives voted in favor of Margaret Thatcher. Fortunately, in the face of partisan disputes, the Labor Party, which holds the majority of seats in Parliament, still obeyed the orders of the party leader, and the bill was not passed. This result did not surprise the envoy behind the scenes. If it really passed, it would be an accident! As far as the Rohill family is concerned, they have instructed the supporting MPs to throw out this "Proposal" and make such a big noise in Congress, and they have succeeded! Soon, as the meeting ended. The participating media, as well as the major congressmen, all moved, and news flew all over the sky in an instant. Xia Yu, who had just finished dinner, had just received a fax of the contents of the "Proposal", and before he had time to read it carefully, his home phone rang quickly. And it was another one immediately after hanging up. There are many people who call. Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Wang Ping, Liu Zhihe, Su Xingjian, etc. These people were all taken aback by the "Proposal" thrown out in the British Parliament. These friends have different identities, and Xia Yu can''t deal with them at the same time. In the evening, he could only meet Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxiang and others first. Around eight o''clock, several people all arrived at Xia Yu''s home. As soon as he sat down, Huo Yingdong hurriedly asked: "A Yu, you said that your specific "Proposal" content for this reason, where can I show you." Before everyone arrived, Xia Yu had ordered people to make multiple copies. Even if Huo Yingdong didn''t ask, Xia Yu would take the initiative to send them to everyone. "Look at everyone." After he sent a copy to everyone, just after he finished speaking, he found that everyone was already reading it. Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, and continued to read and analyze the "Proposal". He has ordered Jiuding Think Tank to study and analyze the "Proposal" overnight, but he must first have his own subjective view. For a while, apart from the rustle of pages turning in the living room, there was also the anger that sounded from time to time. This "Proposal" makes everyone angry. They are all elites among the elite. The sinister intentions hidden in this "Proposal" are obvious to them. After a long time. "boom!" "Damn British guys, they want to completely destroy the good situation in Xiangjiang!" "It took a few years to develop steadily, and now Xiangjiang is taking off. As soon as this "Proposal" comes out, Xiangjiang will be in turmoil again!" Bao Yugang was angry, slapped on the sofa, and said angrily. "Yes, the mainland definitely wants to take Xiangjiang back, and the British must also know that they just don''t want the mainland to receive a prosperous Xiangjiang. This is the development of Xiangjiang jealously!" "It is also proposed to increase the British troops stationed in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government should pay for the military expenses, deploy the navy, and also have anti-aircraft missiles. Isn''t the purpose just to prevent the mainland?" "There is also this abolition of the "Ordinance on Associations." Those associations must not jump happily. Then Xiangjiang will become like the island countries and Taiwan Province. The underworld is the same as the Yamaguchi Group, the Black Dragon Association, the Heavenly Alliance and other organizations, lawless. !" "It''s really going to happen, all the ghosts, ghosts, and gods of Xiangjiang have to fly to the sky!" "Yes!" "Like this "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights", the United Kingdom itself only chooses some clauses suitable for national conditions to recommend to accept it, but wants to let Xiangjiang accept it. Forces with sinister intentions can use this "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights" as a weapon. "..." Huo Yingdong, Hu Yingxiang, Li Zhaoji and others expressed their attitudes to vent their anger. Their roots are in Xiangjiang, and their personal, family and career have been tied to Xiangjiang. If Xiangjiang is in chaos, their lives will not be easier. What''s more, they all came from the dark period of Xiangjiang, and experienced the hardships of that kind of life firsthand. In recent years, thanks to the efforts of Xia Yu and everyone, Xiangjiang has found a bright road and a stable social environment, and all developments have embarked on the fast lane. Such comfortable days are intoxicating. After such a comfortable life, they are unwilling to see Xiangjiang driving back in history. At this moment, everyone can''t wait to give the congressman who threw the "Proposal" to Shen Hai! v3 Chapter 1450: Traitors should be swept into the garbage dump of history Emotional catharsis belongs to catharsis. How to solve the problem or reduce the impact is the top priority, and it is also the fundamental purpose for everyone to come to Xia Yu. Bao Yugang said solemnly. "A Yu, the crisis has just begun, and we must kill it in the bud." "What do you want to do?" "We all listen to your schedule!" Several other people also looked straight at Xia Yu, waiting for his words. Xia Yu glanced around, patted the fax in his hand, and asked a question: "To solve the problem, we must first trace the source and find the root of the problem." Huo Yingdong lifted his spirits and asked hurriedly, "A Yu, do you know the reason?" Xia Yu smiled inexplicably, and slowly said, "I don''t dare to say 100% sure, but it should be true." "Think about Hong Kong''s stock market recently." At this point, everyone was lost in thought. Li Zhaoji, who is relatively prominent in the financial field, took the lead to ask: "You mean that the development of Xiangjiang is too prosperous, making those British consortia jealous, and want to take the opportunity to harvest?" Xia Yu nodded slightly: "Yes!" "The short gambling list, you must have received it too. The gambling time limit is three months, do you think the time is about to come?" Hearing what Xia Yu said, Li Zhaoji''s face again appeared angry, his fists clenched subconsciously, and angrily said: "Damn, I said why I have not been able to analyze the reasons for the possible collapse of Hong Kong stocks. This time the decline is also driven by your control." "It turns out that these bandits want to smash the market artificially, or do they start from the most fundamental political stability and sovereignty issues." "On the issue of Hong Kong''s sovereignty, the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed a long time ago. No one would have thought that there would be problems here. The British are too sinister!" When Hu Yingxiang heard this, he couldn''t help but slammed: "It''s really too insidious." "The previous Hong Kong stock market plummeted and economic development was unstable. It was because the sovereignty issue of Hong Kong had not been resolved, which caused panic among the people." "After the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" was signed, everyone thought it was stabilized, and even overseas capital was rushing in to stimulate Xiangjiang''s prosperity." "Now the British guys are starting to behave again, and tomorrow will definitely be a lot of noise. When the stock market opens next Monday, it is completely foreseeable that the stock market will avalanche!" "I heard you say that the time limit for short-selling gambling is three months. This problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, and the impact cannot be eliminated. Then this loss is not settled?" At the end, Hu Yingxiang looked at Xia Yu and Li Zhaoji worriedly. Especially for Xia Yu, Hu Yingxiang is even more worried. After all, Xia Yu is the stock **** of Xiangjiang and the financial hegemon of Xiangjiang. Both the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange and the Xiangjiang Commodity Exchange are controlled by Xia Yu. Hu Yingxiang has also been paying attention to the turmoil in Hong Kong stocks during this period. Although he does not know how many shares Xia Yu has lent, according to his estimation, it will definitely not be less. However, Xia Yu is the leader of the group. Once Xia Yu suffers a heavy loss, then the strength of Xiangjiang''s local capital will be sharply reduced, and everyone''s life will not be better. Feeling everyone''s worry, Xia Yu responded with a smile. He smiled and shook his head, and said calmly: "It''s impossible to make me suffer!" "I never fight an unsure battle!" "Since I dare to bet against the bears, I am definitely not afraid. Don''t worry." "A Yu, have you guessed this a long time ago?" Bao Yugang couldn''t help asking. Xia Yu smirked and waved his hand to deny: "How could I have expected it, I just knew it too." "According to intelligence feedback, even Margaret Thatcher did not get the news in advance for this "Proposal" and was caught off guard in the parliament. It is conceivable how tightly the enemy is hiding." "The purpose is to achieve a killer effect." "That?" Huo Yingdong was a little confused. Not only he is stunned, but others are also stunned! Xia Yu answered the wrong question, and said with a faint smile: "The enemy is the Rohill family and its allies, and maybe there are some evil wolves who are jealous of Xiangjiang''s economy and want a piece of the pie." "When they shorted Xiangjiang, I had already received information, and there was a more interesting piece of information. Would you like to listen to it?" "What information?" Hu Yingxiang couldn''t help asking. Only then did Xia Yu tell the story of Li Jiacheng. "Li Jiacheng went to England before and met with Evelyn Lowhill, the second-in-chief of the Rohill family, in the evening. After returning, Li Jiacheng and his Chaoshan Gang behaved very differently." This news is too shocking. Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Hu Yingxiang, and Li Zhaoji looked at each other in disbelief and looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, but from Xia Yu''s smile, they chose to believe it. Even if the news is really unbelievable. "I really didn''t expect Li Jiacheng to do such a thing, he is confused!" Li Zhaoji sighed, very heartbroken. "Yeah, hey, I can''t think of it..." Hu Yingxiang also sighed, feeling very uncomfortable. The five real estate tigers in the past were Hu Yingxiang¡¯s Hehe Group, Li Jiacheng¡¯s Cheung Kong Holdings, Zheng Yutong¡¯s New World Development, Li Zhaoji¡¯s Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Chen¡¯s Hang Lung Property Group. Although Hu Yingxiang, Li Zhaoji and Li Jiacheng are competitors, they are also friends who are sympathetic to each other. Although the interests and positions are now different, everyone has parted ways, and Hu Yingxiang and Li Zhaoji have turned to Xia Yu, but the things they have experienced in the past have remained in their minds and have never been erased. Now suddenly discovered that Li Jiacheng actually led the wolf into the room with the intention of looting Xiangjiang. This kind of proper behavior of the white-eyed wolf and traitor made them both distressed and shameless. The taste is complicated and unspeakable, and only they know it best. Suddenly, Li Zhaoji reacted violently. "Zheng Yutong is also from the Chaoshan Gang, and he has worn a pair of trousers with Li Jiacheng in the past few years. Could it be that he is also involved this time?" Under everyone''s gaze, Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, he did it too." At this moment, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong couldn''t help sighing. For a while, the atmosphere in the living room was dull. Xia Yu smiled, and after adding some tea to the four of them, he said softly: "Zheng Yu and I can''t say too much, but Li Jiacheng, I have seen him through a long time ago. He is not the same with us." "We are all capitalists, but we have a nation in our hearts, we should be national capitalists, we have a bottom line, principles, and a certain conscience." "And he is different, he is more pure than us." "People like him, on a global scale may be more suitable for survival than us." "But this is Xiangjiang, which is different from other places." "He narrowed the road himself." "In fact, I think it is a good thing for him to choose himself. Xiangjiang originally has so many resources. If he does not make a mistake, we are not good to him." In the last sentence, Xia Yu still kept smiling, his tone was so plain. But everyone felt the murderous confession at this moment. "It looks like Li Jiacheng is over this time!" Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and others looked at each other, and they had a common idea in their hearts. But none of them felt sorry for Li Jiacheng. Betraying Xiangjiang, betraying the country and the nation, should indeed be swept into the garbage dump of history. v3 Chapter 1451: Look beyond the surface "By the way, A Yu, look at you, you are in your mind, and you are not afraid of the stock market being chaotic?" After talking about Li Jiacheng, everyone knew that everything was under Xia Yu''s control. Instead, they were not so anxious. Bao Yu just took a sip of tea, showing a smile, and asked curiously. "What''s to be afraid of?" "Although conspiracy methods are endless in the capital market, in the final analysis, it still depends on fists." "As long as the fist is hard enough, any conspiracy and tricks will fall under the iron fist!" The corner of Xia Yu''s mouth smiled, and Feng Qingyun said lightly. "Hahaha¡­" "That''s right, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are not worth mentioning!" Bao Yugang couldn''t help laughing loudly. The others also smiled and nodded. "A Yu, since you have a plan, I will not ask too much. I will try my best to raise funds during this period. When the time comes to enter the market, you will give a notification and I will try my best to help you and hold up the big market. " Bao Yu just took a sip of tea and said proudly. "Lao Bao is right, we are not as strong as you, but at any rate we can still collect some money, which happens to be some good assets." "This time, maybe it''s a good opportunity!" "Yes." "I also took the opportunity to repurchase my company''s stock." Huo Yingdong, Li Zhaoji and Hu Yingxiang responded. ¡­ After another little chat, Huo Yingdong suddenly said to Xia Yu: "By the way, A Yu, when this happens suddenly, we will be worried, and the mainland will definitely be even more worried." "If I were there, I would definitely find you to understand the situation first." "Do you need me to communicate first?" Xia Yu shook his head and rejected Huo Yingdong''s kindness: "It doesn''t need to be so troublesome." "I have received a call from there just now, Wang Ping and Liu Zhihe will come over later, and I will talk to them again." "If you don''t tell them about the situation tonight, they probably won''t sleep through the night tonight." Seeing a helpless smile at the corner of Xia Yu''s mouth, everyone couldn''t help but smile. "Well, it''s not too early tonight. Since you still have something tonight, we''ll leave first." After Bao Yugang finished speaking empathetically, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea, then got up to leave, and several other people also got up. "Well, then get together again in a few days, and be safe when you go back." Xia Yu didn''t force him to stay, but he sent them out with a smile and watched them leave. After returning to the house, Xia Yu picked up the phone and called Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency. After Wang Ping and Liu Zhihe, who had been waiting for a long time, received the call, they immediately set off for the Xia Mansion. About twenty minutes later, Xia Yu heard the roar of the car engine outside the door again. When he first came to the door, he happened to see Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping each carrying some small gifts. "Director Liu, President Wang, I didn''t expect you to be here so soon. What gifts would you bring tonight? It''s too polite. Please come in soon and the room will be warmer." "No matter how familiar you are, you can''t enter the door empty-handed, right?" "See you! Please come in!" "..." After a brief exchange of handshake, Xia Yu brought the two in and sat down on the sofa in the living room. The servant had already cleaned up the mess that was just now, and just made the tea. Without Xia Yu''s order, he quickly poured tea for several people. Liu Zhihe picked up the teacup and took a sip. He was scalded because of his anxiety, but he resisted and did not show it. However, this scene was noticed by Xia Yu, and he felt a little funny. But he also expressed his understanding that it must have been a lot of pressure on Liu Zhihe from the capital, which made him unable to drink tea peacefully. It was already so late, and it would affect the rest of the family too late, so Xia Yu went directly to the subject. "Director Liu, President Wang, I think the information should have been told to you above. My information is definitely not as detailed as Guoan''s, so I won''t repeat the details." "The capital is sending you over. If you have anything to say, you don''t have to worry about it." Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping looked at each other, and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Liu Zhihe first said, he sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, then I''ll just say it." "As for what happened in the British Parliament today, I was shocked after I learned about it. For this reason, an emergency summit was convened as soon as possible, and people were arranged to analyze and judge the situation." "Although there have been relatively frequent exchanges between the country and the outside world in recent years, the above thinks that you will have more unique views on the international situation, especially the situation in the UK." "So we are sent to consult you, how should this matter be treated and handled?" Xia Yu selected a part of what he had just said with Bao Yugang and others to listen to Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping. "Director Liu, the background of this incident is actually that foreign capital consortiums are eyeing the economy of Xiangjiang, thinking that the sheep are already fat, so they can be sheared. You can check it out. change¡­" Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping thought it was a political cause, but they did not expect to hear such remarks from Xia Yu, which really stunned them. After Xia Yu finished speaking. Wang Ping asked eagerly: "Mr. Xia, what do you mean is that this time the British parliament once again brought up the issue of the sovereignty of Xiangjiang. It is because the question of the sovereignty of Xiangjiang is not a big problem in the end. ?" Facing Wang Ping''s expectant gaze, Xia Yu shook his head and poured cold water on. "President Wang, you are too optimistic." "Although Margaret Thatcher was very surprised by the "Proposal" this time. This is also a denial of her political achievements, but she, the Prime Minister, cannot make a single word in the UK." "In essence, the "Proposal" is beneficial to the United Kingdom. After all, Xiangjiang has become the world''s 20th largest economy. If Hong Kong can be held in its hands, the United Kingdom will of course be happy." "So in this matter, if the mainland''s attitude is not firm enough, it will cause some British politicians to misjudge and believe that the mainland is weak and can be bullied, and the problem will become bigger and bigger." Hearing what Xia Yu said, Wang Ping put away the trace of illusion that had just emerged. Xia Yu didn''t give him too much time to think, and continued: "Although I said just now that this "Proposal" was created by the capital consortium coveting the Xiangjiang Economy, we must have a clear understanding." "They short Xiangjiang before, the purpose is to harvest funds, bargain-hunting assets." "These goals began to work from the moment the "Proposal" was thrown out, especially from tomorrow, the "Proposal" will be known to everyone, and the issue of Xiangjiang''s sovereignty will cause more panic, so right They are more advantageous." "As for the ultimate success of the "Proposal", it actually doesn''t matter to them. It is enough to delay them until they have completed the harvest." "If you pay more attention to the success of the Proposal, it will be a British politician." "Of course, if the "Proposal" is really likely to succeed, these capital consortia will certainly not mind amplifying the results." In one word, the whole thing was explained clearly, and it had an enlightening effect on Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping. When they came, they still felt that the matter was very difficult and complicated, giving them the feeling of being in the mist, but now looking at it, in fact, this matter is really simple and clear. Xia Yu drank tea leisurely, moisturizing his dry voice, waiting for Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping to absorb the content into their minds. a long time. Liu Zhihe was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes: "Mr. Xia, I will convey all your opinions to the above. Please rest assured that the issue of Hong Kong''s sovereignty is an insurmountable bottom line, and the country will definitely not compromise." "Of course, we also hope that you can extend a helping hand again, mobilize your energy in the UK, and help the mainland solve this matter as quickly as possible." "At the same time on the Xiangjiang side, you also need your Dinghai Shenzhen needle to help stabilize people''s hearts. I am afraid that this news will appear in the newspaper tomorrow, which will cause turbulence in Xiangjiang." "That''s okay, I''m also from Xiangjiang after all." Xia Yu nodded with a smile. After receiving Xia Yu''s reply, Liu Zhihe was sure, but immediately said with a sad look on his face: "Mr. Xia, it''s just about the crisis in Xiangjiang''s financial market. You may also need to call on your friends to help Xiangjiang tide over the difficulties." "But please rest assured that Xiangjiang''s prosperity today is the result of the efforts of all sectors of society. The country will certainly not sit back and watch foreign capital consortia looting Xiangjiang''s wealth." "The country must do everything in its power to help Xiangjiang!" "..." It was about ten o''clock and things were about to talk. Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping also felt that it was too late to disturb them, so they said goodbye and left with anxiety. They still need to report the situation to the capital, and the leaders above must have not rested yet, waiting for their news. This night. For many people, it is destined to be a sleepless night. But Xia Yu slept soundly. When the enemy hid the weapon, he might still have unknown worries, but now that the enemy has shown his card, Xia Yu is completely relieved. Early the next morning. Sure enough, as Xia Yu expected, the content of the "Proposal" was thoroughly published. The headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong were all about this news, even the "Jiuding Daily" reported it. Of course, unlike other bribed newspapers, although Jiuding newspapers also reported this news, they reported it from a critical angle, saying that the British had turned back on themselves. UU reading doesn¡¯t talk about credibility and wants to compete. The sovereignty of Hong Kong is completely whimsical. In addition, the various opinions of the second major part of the "Proposal" are analyzed one by one, pointing out the sinister intentions of the British MP who put forward this "Proposal". Almost all readers are indignant after seeing it. The newspapers controlled by the mainland have a tougher attitude towards this matter than the newspapers of the Jiuding family. But anyway, in this atmosphere, many Xiangjiang citizens are still worried. The capital, which is more important to Xiangjiang''s economic development, also greeted the issue of Xiangjiang, and has mixed attitudes in investment. Fighting for a day of drooling. Wait until Monday arrives. The stock market is no surprise. Broke! And it''s still an avalanche! ~: The new chapter on politics has been blocked As the title, I still don¡¯t know what went wrong The new chapter of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" is blocked Now you are playing, please wait a while, after the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! Full text update of "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero", keep in mind the URL: v3 Chapter 1452: Hong Kong stocks avalanche, no panic Inside the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange. Because of public opinion factors yesterday and this morning, investors filled the exchange early. Even if some of them did not buy stocks alone, but gave the funds to securities or fund companies to take care of them! As the stock market opened, the originally noisy exchange was silent for a few seconds. Then broke out greater agitation than before the opening. At the close of trading last Friday, the Hang Seng Index fell to 3738.2, and the total market value of the stock market fell to 1.65 trillion Hong Kong dollars. But as soon as the market opened today, as the overall market plummeted, the Hang Seng Index also plummeted by 87 points, a drop of 2.33%! And in just two minutes. The Hang Seng Index fell below the 3500 point mark, a drop of more than 6.4%! This kind of plunge is too scary. Among the investors on the market, many are new to the industry in recent years, but many of them have experienced the stock market crash in the late 1970s. The prosperity of the stock market in the past four or five years is about to make them forget the cruel past. But at this time, the scene they saw with their own eyes provoked the nightmare in their memory, leaving many people with a look of horror, subconsciously rushing to sell the stock, wanting to cash out as soon as possible. Especially those large retail investors who have used leverage to allocate funds are even more anxious. Because they know that this disaster is just the beginning, and no one can predict where it will end. For those of them who have used three or five times leverage to allocate funds, the risk of losing their money is almost 99%! This group of people sold stocks and became accomplices of the shorts who were hitting the market. And this time. Operation room of Jiuding Securities Company. Xia Yu looked at the electronic screen blankly. In the entire operating room, all the traders, rarely at work, just watched the market and the stock prices that they were staring straight down. For them, they have experienced this feeling for the first time after joining Jiuding Securities for so many years. They can still enjoy this kind of day in the next few days. After watching for a while. Xia Yu was ready to leave. However, before leaving, Xia Yu specially recruited Yuan Tianfan and told him not to relax his vigilance these days. Even if he does not operate, he must conduct simulation exercises to ensure that he can strike as accurately as a scalpel when he needs to do it. ... Today''s stock market is indeed a catastrophe. Until the close in the afternoon. The stock market has evaporated 278.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Hang Seng Index has fallen to 3107.5 points, a drop of nearly 17%! For the entire Hong Kong stock market, the total market value of more than 500 listed companies is only 1.37 trillion Hong Kong dollars. If you take into account the peak period some time ago, the total market value of Hong Kong stocks has exceeded two trillion Hong Kong dollars. Compared with that time, today''s stock market has shrunk by more than three tiers! At that time, investors who entered the market, as long as they had used more than three times the leverage, at this time were either on the verge of liquidation, or had been prompted to liquidate, and had to pay the principal. Otherwise, if the time is exceeded, all positions will be forcibly closed. certainly. According to the current situation, it is difficult to force a position to be liquidated. After all, this day, although there are many selling orders, the turnover has reached the lowest value of this year. Only 88 million Hong Kong dollars! Not even one-seventh of the average daily transaction volume this year! And most of the only HK$87 million were sold for special reasons. It can be seen that investors are terrified by the market today. foreseeable. If there are no other factors this week, Hong Kong stocks will continue to plummet in the next four days. Soon after the Hong Kong stock market closed, Xia Yu had just listened to the report. There was a report from the servant, and the Governor of Hong Kong Su Xingjian came to visit. Xia Yu immediately ordered people to take Su Xingjian to the living room. Soon, Su Xingjian with a haggard face came to Xia Yu. Yesterday and Sunday, Su Xingjian had already visited Xia Yu once. Although he was clearly worried at that time, he was not as haggard as he is today. "Mr. Governor, it looks like you have been busy all day and didn''t rest at noon?" "Come on, refresh yourself with a cup of tea." Xia Yu joked with a chuckle. "Thank you Mr. Xia." Su Xingjian smiled bitterly, and after thanking him, he picked up his teacup and took a few sips of hot tea. The hot tea brought a scorching sensation to the tip of his tongue, and the refreshing fragrance of tea also wiped out his fatigue. Su Xingjian boosted his spirit and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, according to what we talked about yesterday, today I have basically unified the thinking of the internal staff of the Hong Kong government. Although there are still some people whose attitudes are not clear due to background reasons, they should be affected. Not the whole." "Before I came, I also communicated with the London side, but the situation is not clear, and the attitudes of many departments above are very vague." While speaking, Su Xingjian had been observing Xia Yu¡¯s expression. When he saw Xia Yu¡¯s face hesitated, he immediately said: ¡°But Mr. Xia, please rest assured, I will stand firmly on your side. From the standpoint of Xiangjiang, he firmly opposes the "Proposal." "Xiangjiang has already walked on an unprecedented bright road. I can''t let anyone destroy it." As an Englishman and the Governor of Hong Kong sent by the British government, what he said was completely inconsistent with his identity. But Su Xingjian was not dizzy. He always knew what to do and what to do. Although he is the Governor of Hong Kong sent by the British, he knows that his political road has come to an end. Even if it is still possible to go up, it will not be the key department, but the senior care department. The future of his Monroe family is not in Britain, but in Xia Yu. He knew very well that even if Xiangjiang was really hit hard this time, Xia Yu still possessed monstrous strength. As long as he leaked a little bit, it would be enough for the Monroe family to rise to the next level. Even if he is exempted, as long as the Monroe family has strong capital, then his two sons'' political roads will not end, and they will even go better. After all, Britain is a capitalist country in the final analysis. Although politicians hold power, they still rely on capital in the final analysis. Just like the two major British parliamentarians, most of them are backed by someone behind them. Even if some members of parliament have no external capital support and belong to traditional political families and nobles, these political families and nobles, under this level of identity, possess powerful capital. Su Xingjian''s goal is to build his Monroe family into a family that can be passed down for a long time. Only having the status of a politician without capital can only prosper for a while, and fate rests in the hands of higher-ranking people. But as long as there is enough capital, then it can continue to prosper, and even if it falls in the political arena, there is absolutely the possibility of a comeback. As long as there is capital, whitewashing one person couldn''t be easier. Therefore, between the British government and Xia Yu, Su Xingjian certainly chose to stand on Xia Yu''s side without hesitation. This has always been his choice. "I know your attitude." "During this time, I have to trouble you with some pressure." "Although there are troubles in the UK, your governorship will not be able to move until the last irreversible moment. I am not a vegetarian either." "Even if the worst is possible, just do it with me. If nothing else, you are still sure of making you a billionaire." "By the way, the unit is not Hong Kong dollars, but British pounds." Su Xingjian showed his loyalty, and Xia Yu naturally wouldn''t turn a blind eye. He drank a sip of tea and said to the latter with a smile. really. Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Su Xingjian''s exhaustion was swept away, and a bright smile appeared on his face for an instant. He doesn''t doubt what Xia Yu said, because with Xia Yu''s strength, he believes Xia Yu can do it. And after so many years of contact, he also understands Xia Yu''s character! With hundreds of millions of pounds worth of guarantees, he dared to charge if he didn''t dare to have any risks. "Thank you Mr. Xia." "Listening to you, I suddenly felt an urge to remove me from my job." After thanking Su Xingjian, he said with emotion. "Ha ha¡­¡­" Xia Yu couldn''t help shaking his head and laughing. v3 Chapter 1453: 1 head of state? Still threatening and intimidating! (Big The joke is a joke. Su Xingjian''s position is still very necessary for Xia Yu. In the past few years, Xiangjiang has been able to develop according to his intentions, and it is indispensable for the full cooperation of Su Xingjian, the Hong Kong Governor. Since Su Xingjian came to show his loyalty again, Xia Yu would not remain indifferent. It just so happened that he was also going to contact Margaret today to clarify his attitude. Calculating the jet lag, it is now half past the morning in London, England. Just fight directly in front of Su Xingjian now. Do it when you think of it. Xia Yu took the phone on the desktop and directly dialed the private number in Margaret''s office. Xia Yu has been to Margaret''s office. She has several telephones. Although they are all encrypted, one of them is private. "Beep...beep..." After ringing for a while, the call was connected suddenly. "Hi, hello, who is it?" There were some familiar female voices on the phone, Xia Yu immediately recognized it, and it happened to be Marguerite. He smiled and greeted: "Ms. Margaret, good morning, I am Xia Yu." There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone, and then Marguerite''s slightly enthusiastic voice came again: "It turned out to be Mr. Xia. I haven''t seen you for a long time. I''m glad to receive your call." "I''m also very happy. You happened to be in the office and were able to receive this call." Xia Yu responded with a smile. A simple greeting, Xia Yu didn''t procrastinate, and didn''t want to give Margaret too much time to think, so he went straight to the point. "Ms. Margaret, next time I go to the UK, I will invite you to enjoy afternoon tea. As for now, you are busy with official duties, so I won¡¯t be too long-winded. In the British Parliament the day before yesterday, your Conservative Party MP proposed the " "Proposal", which caused turmoil in Xiangjiang society. I want to know, what is your attitude towards it?" Sure enough, such a sharp question was thrown directly, and Margaret remained silent for a long time, obviously considering how to answer it appropriately. And her answer after thinking about it was not beyond Xia Yu''s expectation. She wanted to push responsibility and delay. "Mr. Xia, I was also surprised by this "Proposal" because it was not my idea. In the past two days, the entire political arena has been rather chaotic around this matter. There may be no results in a short time. This matter has already It¡¯s beyond my control." Xia Yu sneered: "Haha~" "Ms. Margaret, you are called the Iron Lady, and the Conservative Party also controls the majority of seats in the House of Commons. There is nothing beyond your control in the UK. The key depends on whether you want to do it." "So in this matter, I hope you can suppress it as early as possible before the matter further ferments." "Xiangjiang is my hometown. You should be very clear about how much effort and effort I have put in to build Xiangjiang. It is impossible for me to watch my efforts being destroyed. This is my bottom line." The tone of Xia Yu''s words was a bit heavy, and most people would be uncomfortable to hear it. What''s more, for a person like Margaret in a high position? Su Xingjian, who was sitting by the side, did not know when his complexion became very serious, and he was sitting upright, but his ears were erect. Soon, Marguerite''s cold voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Xia, I understand your feelings, but you must know that this involves the interests of the United Kingdom. Although we are friends, I should represent the people. Benefits, listen to the voice of the people." Xia Yu sneered, Margaret cautiously did not dare to say that he wanted to put pressure on her. "Ms. Margaret, I, a businessman, shouldn''t interfere with Xiangjiang''s problem, but I have already paid a lot of benefits back then." "The development of Xiangjiang today has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. It was developed by us. Without the capital of more than five billion pounds that I got to invest in the United Kingdom, Xiangjiang''s current situation would only be better." "If there was no key information provided by me back then, Britain would not have won the battle of Falkland Islands. If the war failed, would Britain still have the current prestige?" "I have done everything that should be done and what can be done." "For the UK, I and my allies have always been very supportive." "But now, we are very disappointed. If Britain turns away from acknowledging people, we can only defend our interests in our own way." "Hong Kong is our foundation. We can abandon all investments outside Hong Kong, especially in the UK." "I just don''t know, can the British economy bear it?" "Even if those things are announced, how much credibility will the British government have in capital?" A series of words, like sharp arrows, pierced Marguerite''s heart. Even if it spanned nearly one-third of the earth, Xia Yu could still hear Marguerite''s heavy breathing through the earpiece. It was obvious that Marguerite was in a bad mood at this time. It''s just that she couldn''t vent her anger to Xia Yu, after all, it was indeed their fault. And Xia Yu is a top-level capitalist, and her influence on Britain cannot be underestimated. She can behave rascals to others, but she can''t do the same to Xia Yu. After a long time. Margaret finally gave Xia Yu an answer, but Xia Yu was still not satisfied. "Mr. Xia, I will always pay attention to this matter and take care of the emotions of the citizens of Xiangjiang. Please don''t worry, I will call you back in a few days." "..." "Patter!" The attitude of the statement was also expressed, and after a few more words that were not nutritious, the two sides ended the conversation, and Xia Yu put down the phone. He looked at Su Xingjian, who knew the inside story for the first time. The latter''s shocked appearance made Xia Yu smile. "Governor Su, you also heard it just now. I have taken the pressure on my own initiative. Please try your best to stabilize the situation." "Okay, please rest assured!" Su Xingjian returned to his senses and said hurriedly, with a more respectful attitude than before. His previous understanding of Xia Yu was still too one-sided... After that, Su Xingjian stayed for a while, and then took the initiative to leave with an excuse. After Xia Yu thought about it for a while, he picked up the encrypted phone and called George Berkeley of the Bright Fund. The result of this call. It was at three o''clock in the afternoon London time that George Berkeley''s car drove brightly into Downing Street. ¡­ Margaret, who stopped her official duties, looked at George Berkeley who came with a smile, but she felt bitter in her heart, but she had to show enough enthusiasm. "President Berkeley, welcome to Downing Street." "Ms. Margaret, excuse me!" "Don''t disturb, please sit down!" "thanks." "..." In the office, after the secretary served the two coffee separately, the others were sent away by Margaret, leaving only Margaret and George Berkeley. "President Berkeley, do you have anything to do with me?" Margaret leaned sideways on the sofa in a relatively comfortable position, smiling at George Berkeley. George Berkeley said with a serious face: "Ms. Margaret, the Hong Kong stock market plummeted today, and our investment in Hong Kong lost a lot, and we expect the loss to be even greater in the future." "This is just a loss in the financial sector." "In addition to financial investment, we also have other large-scale investments in Xiangjiang. The most typical one is the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. Xiangjiang is the most important production and assembly base of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in Asia. Now the society of Xiangjiang is turbulent. , Has affected the company''s normal production and operation." "I hope that the government can give us a stable business and investment environment, and don''t let some sinister people get benefits." Marguerite secretly said, and the smile on her face quickly faded. She sighed and said sincerely: "President Berkeley, I understand your feelings, but this matter is not led by me. It is difficult for me to help you solve it." "However, I suggest that the Bright Fund can stop losses in time and withdraw funds. There are still many investment opportunities in the UK, and the government will also provide preferential investment policies." George Berkeley shook his head decisively: "Ms. Margaret, going out of the UK and developing a globalization strategy is the fundamental strategy of our company, and this will not change." "This strategy is also deeply tied to the economic development of the United Kingdom. If it hadn''t been for our company to make enough profits abroad over the years and bring it back to China, we would not be able to make so much investment in China." "If we abandon our investments in Hong Kong and Asia now, we will need to spend several times the price to re-enter the market in the future." "Moreover, part of the assets that the royal family gave us to take care of has also been put in Xiangjiang. Now it is on the verge of loss. In any case, we will not let this part of the asset lose!" "Therefore, there is only one result we can accept, that is, Xiangjiang will regain and quickly restore stability, and give everyone a good investment environment." Marguerite looked tangled and embarrassed. "President Berkeley, after all, Xiangjiang is still under our jurisdiction. I also sincerely hope that Xiangjiang will be stable, but the situation surrounding this matter is still very complicated, and I cannot give you an answer for the time being." George Berkeley stared at her scorchingly, and said righteously: "Ms. Margaret, you should be very clear about the situation behind this incident." "This matter has been a struggle of capital from beginning to end, but some people want to use the British government as a gun." "Who are those people?" "And who are we to you?" "I hope you can always have a clear understanding and not be influenced by other people." George Berkeley was a little thirsty when he said that, he stopped to take a sip of coffee, and saw Margaret''s face change, he continued. "I don''t want to say too much, I just want to show our attitude." "HeungKong''s investment is part of our ultra-high growth, and we will never give up." "The enemy wants me to cut meat, it is absolutely impossible!" "If the situation is urgent, we will throw away those low-yield assets in the UK and mobilize funds to go to Hong Kong to protect our interests. Only after victory can the funds return." "Three billion pounds will not work, it will be five billion pounds, and if it will not work, it will be 10 billion pounds, and there will be no cap until it is won!" "As for other investments in the country, we are very relieved, and we hold the mentality of holding for a long time, and will not care about market fluctuations." Margaret couldn''t sit still now. I don¡¯t care about market fluctuations. To put it bluntly, it does not matter whether the UK¡¯s financial order and economy will be stable. The Bright Fund really wants to transfer tens of billions of pounds out of the UK, and the UK stock market will definitely fall sharply, and this is not the most terrifying. The scariest thing is the foreign exchange market! Britain¡¯s foreign exchange reserves will all be hollowed out, exposing the deadly key, and then the pound exchange rate, which has risen due to the "Plaza Accord", will most likely be attacked. If Xia Yu also withdraws a large sum of money, then the economic order in the UK has just been on the uphill... Thinking of this, Margaret shuddered. Seeing George Berkeley''s serious expression, Margaret was in a terrible mood, even more annoyed than being threatened by Xia Yu in the morning. And she also knew that when George Berkeley came to her, there must be Xia Yu behind him. Just have to say. Xia Yu is indeed moving towards her vitals. Margaret doesn''t care whether Xiangjiang is stable or not. But she absolutely cannot accept the destruction of the British economic order. At this moment, Margaret finally compromised. She squeezed a grudging smile: "President Berkeley, Hong Kong is the jewel of the Orient in the hands of the United Kingdom. As long as it is in the hands of the United Kingdom, we have the responsibility and obligation to ensure its prosperity and stability." George Berkeley also smiled: "I believe in Ms. Margaret''s ability, I will wait and see!" "I still have something to do, so I won''t bother, and I will visit again when I have a chance. UU Reading " "Okay, I''ll give it to you!" After personally sending George Berkeley out the door, Margaret turned and walked quickly to the office, a face stinking all the way. She must do something, and she can''t let this farce last too long, she can''t afford the risk! And not long after George Berkeley left, Evelyn Lowhill, who received the news, hurried back to discuss with Jacob Lowhill. Xia Yu and the others have already fought back, and they must be vigilant again and not let the great situation be destroyed. What Evelyn Rohill and others didn''t know was that Xia Yu''s series of actions were not only really to intimidate Margaret, but they were also shown to them. This reaction is normal. Otherwise, it will be indifferent, and it will make the Rohill family and other bears suspicious, and it will not be too beautiful if there is an accident... v3 Chapter 1454: The long and short battle begins! The trading volume on Monday was only HK$87 million. Not only did ordinary investors fail to escape, but even the shorts were unable to cash out and leave the market. However, except for some of the stocks still held by the shorts that have not been successfully cashed out before, the rest is intended to be used for smashing the market. At this time, they don''t need to hit the market, and the market has already been smashed by other investors, which is also a good thing for the shorts. Anyway, the higher position can''t escape now, and the bulls have not yet begun to make efforts to support the bottom. No matter how many other investors sell their stocks, they can¡¯t sell them. They are completely in vain. How can the bears have opinions? It is better to seize the time of the past few days to recharge and wait for the real offensive and defensive war to arrive. ... the following few days. The public opinion war has long ceased to be confined to Hong Kong and Asia. Xiangjiang¡¯s matter involves the second of the Five Commons, and Xiangjiang has become a key node in the world''s financial system. Its financial market has undergone drastic changes, and it is impossible to pay attention to it. Fortunately, the mainland is very strong and resolute in this matter, but there are endless debates on this matter within the United Kingdom. The supporters and the opposition have reached the level of rivalry. There are still huge disagreements on the Hong Kong issue within the United Kingdom. After the media exposed the situation, it undoubtedly calmed many people. Many capitals that were preparing to temporarily withdraw from Xiangjiang also stopped their actions and kept a wait-and-see attitude for the time being. Many financial institutions have made great strides and directly adjusted their strategies, believing that Hong Kong will survive the crisis and intend to tentatively buy the bottom. After all, after a few days of plunge. The Hang Seng Index has fallen to 2259.4 points, and the total market value of Hong Kong stocks has fallen to 996.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is below one trillion Hong Kong dollars! For shorts, if they enter the market and buy bottoms now, they only need to spend about half of the cash-out funds, and the remaining half of the funds are profits! but! ! Capital is always greedy. Seeing that the bulls have not yet received a large-scale support and still hold a large amount of money in their hands, how can the bears be willing to start harvesting now? The funds in the hands of the bulls must be put out as much as possible. If you can make a little more profit, you can make a little more! On Xia Yu''s side, he also happened to be eyeing the stocks that the bears still hold and have not yet cashed out! Following Xia Yu''s order. Many of his financial institutions started to buy bottoms! Countless sell orders that were placed like rotten cabbage began to match and buy orders one by one at the corresponding price. More and more investors were surprised to find that they finally cashed out and left the market. The surprise and cheers of escaped birth began to sound in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. After a few days of silence, the transaction volume began to climb, which immediately attracted the attention of institutions that watched the market. The bears communicated with each other as soon as possible. ... "Evelyn, did you get the news?" Early in the morning in London time, Terrence Warburg came to Evelyn Lowhill''s private villa, saw the latter who had just finished breakfast, and said happily. "Of course, just got a call." "Would you like a cup of coffee?" Evelyn Rohill smiled and nodded, then asked. "No, just give me a glass of water." Terrence Warburg finished, and the servant in the living room immediately poured water without Evelyn Lowhill''s order. "Evelyn, the bulls are starting to support the bottom, and our plan should enter the next stage." "It''s just a pity that the bulls can endure it until now before they begin to support the bottom." "We almost couldn''t help it!" Terrence Warburg said regretfully. The market has fallen to this level, and the total market value of Hong Kong stocks has evaporated by half. Correspondingly, the prices of those stocks in the stock market have plummeted. Now the bulls are starting to buy bottoms, and the cost is much lower. "It''s really a pity." "But there is nothing we can do. The market has been falling, which is already in our favor. It is impossible for us to take the initiative to pallet before the bulls have started." "But it''s not bad to wait." "Now the Hang Seng Index is still above 2,000 points, and there is still room for hitting the market." Evelyn Rohill smiled helplessly. "In fact, in terms of taking the market, the initiative is in the hands of the bulls. When the bulls take over the market at this time, the bottom line has been exposed." "But Evelyn, I thought about it before I came here, should we just let the bulls sweep the goods so easily?" As soon as Terrence Warburg finished speaking, Evelyn Rohill raised his brows, looked at the former with interest, and asked, "What do you think?" Terrence Warburg immediately expressed his thoughts: "In order to achieve the success rate of hitting the market later, we must now consume as much long-term funds as possible, and at the same time destroy the final fluke psychology of other investors. " "So I think we can use public opinion to appropriately boost investor confidence, allow Hong Kong stocks to rebound moderately, increase the purchase cost of long positions, and we can appropriately cash out more stocks at relatively high prices." "certainly!" "Once we noticed that the strength of the bulls'' taking orders has decreased, we immediately stopped taking action and let the bulls continue to take orders." "When the time is right, we will immediately hit the plate." "At that time, some investors who have just rebuilt their confidence will collapse again, and the final fluke will be defeated. These investors will definitely fight for fear when they sell their stocks." "Combined with this situation, we can defeat the bulls at once and knock the Hong Kong stocks to the lowest point!" Evelyn Lowhill raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Terrence, your thoughts are the same as mine." "In the previous plunge, the daily trading volume could not rise at all. Perhaps this will be our last opportunity to cash out at a relatively high price." "In a moment, let''s make it clear to other people together, I believe they will support it." "..." ... The bears reached an agreement. As a result, early on Friday morning, Hong Kong time, the opinions of many newspapers that had previously strongly undermined Hong Kong stocks became conservative and calmer. They began to discuss the possibility of Hong Kong stocks being over. The results of the discussions between China and Britain. The impact on Hong Kong stocks has already been brought into play in advance. The change in public opinion has brought changes to Hong Kong stocks. After the market opened on Friday, many stocks began to enter a period of volatility, and trading volume further rebounded. Some stocks have even rebounded slightly because of the large number of investors who bought them. Seeing this situation, Yuan Tianfan asked the traders to continue to implement the buying plan while reporting the abnormal situation to Xia Yu. For this situation, Xia Yu''s attitude is very clear, as long as the increase does not exceed five points, continue to buy. Once a stock has risen by more than five points, immediately give up buying and exchange for other target acquisitions. Xia Yu wants to buy as many stocks as possible from shorts and investors, yes, but he will never be taken advantage of! Six or seven hours passed in a flash. With the close of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, this week''s stock market officially ended. On this day, the stock market''s trading volume reached a record high, reaching 42.75 billion Hong Kong dollars, twice the peak trading volume of the day before the stock market crash! It is 491 times the daily transaction volume this Monday! Plus yesterday and Thursday''s transaction volume of 10.28 billion Hong Kong dollars. This Friday¡¯s average daily transaction volume reached 10.6 billion Hong Kong dollars! These figures, even if the Hong Kong Stock Exchange did not release them, were still guessed by many organizations. As a result, public opinion exploded again on Saturday and Sunday, and many investors dispelled the idea of ??clearing and leaving the market. This kind of limelight actually made the bears a little frightened and realized that they could not let it go. So wait until Monday of the new week. The declining public opinion offensive is even more fierce Some newspapers even called last Friday''s transaction "Hong Kong stocks are returning to light" and "the last struggle". It seems to be to confirm the statements of these newspapers. With the official opening of the stock market. Many shorts who had been ready for a long time worked together, and the overwhelming sell orders were thrown out, and the orders were larger than one by one. Such an offensive immediately scared the investors who were talking and laughing in the exchange! but! Such an offensive could not scare Xia Yu and his disciples, who had been prepared for a long time. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., Jiuding Insurance Company, HSBC Securities Investment Department, Sun Hung Kai Securities Co., Ltd., and many other institutions that have received unified instructions for a long time have operated large sums of funds to enter the market. Long-air battle, as soon as it broke out, it entered a full-scale decisive battle! v3 Chapter 1455: Reaping Dachang Commercial Bank has 5,000 lots, buy! Henderson Land Development has 10,000 lots, buy! 5,000 lots of Cheung Kong, buy! ... In the operation room of Jiuding Securities Company, each trader quickly scanned the market. Almost no one refuses to come! Other financial institutions under Xia Yu, as well as the institutions of Xia Yu''s allies, are all taking over the market together, carrying short-term pressure. The price is a huge flow of funds into the accounts of short sellers or other buyers. Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars! One billion Hong Kong dollars! ... Ten billion Hong Kong dollars! Only one hour after the opening, the trading volume on the market has exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, once again creating a history of the Hong Kong stock market! With such fierce fighting, the melon-eaters in the exchange were dumbfounded. Of course, many investors who still hold stocks are caught in a fierce inner struggle. Some want to take a gamble, holding the stock and not selling, betting that the longs can win, but they are afraid that the stock price will collapse when the shorts win, and the money will be trapped. Some are relatively cautious and want to sell the stock now, but seeing the sharply fluctuating stock price, they can''t help being greedy, so they hesitate. But no matter what. In the face of Xia Yu''s strong defense and even partial counterattack on the battlefield, the bears are facing increasing pressure. Only when the decisive battle started, neither side had any retreat. What the bears can do is to increase their short selling, consume the funds of the bulls as quickly as possible, and then completely penetrate the confidence of the market! ... "Boss, now the battle is at a stalemate. Although the short-selling effort is very fierce, other investors have begun to sell less." In Jiuding Securities Company, Yuan Tianfan reports to Xia Yu on real-time monitoring of market conditions. "What about the amount of our funds?" Xia Yu nodded slightly, but looked at the display screen. After observing it, he asked without looking back. "Chairman, please wait a moment! Let me take a look." As Yuan Tianfan said, he quickly took the real-time statistical results from several subordinates, and then reported the situation to Xia Yu: "Chairman, since the market opened today, we have invested a total of 3.728.19 million Hong Kong dollars, and we currently have 428 ammunition prepared. Billion Hong Kong dollars." Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. cashed out a lot of stocks at a high level in the early stage, with a large amount of funds returned, plus the existing liquidity, for this war, Jiuding Securities Co., as one of the main forces to expand, prepared 60 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. . It just spent more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars a day last Friday, making it the largest main force in the market. However, there are still more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity in hand, which is full of confidence. If all the funds are used up, Xia Yu will not panic, he still has a larger amount of funds as a backing. Just looking at the current situation, it is difficult for Jiuding Securities to use up the funds of more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. After thinking a little bit, Xia Yu issued an order to Yuan Tianfan: "Tianfan, first reduce the intensity of the acquisition, pretending to be an unstable capital, and other companies will cooperate to try to let the shorts gain the upper hand." "In this situation, other investors holding stocks are still hesitating and have to let them spit out the stocks." The Hang Seng Index fell to around 2,000 points, and the stock prices of various companies fell across the board. Of course, Xia Yu hopes that the more the better. Anyway, he is not short of money, so he took advantage of this opportunity to harvest short positions while also harvesting some investors who were not determined. Buying these stocks at low prices, is it not good to slowly cash out them when they reach high levels later? "Understood, I will arrange it right away." Yuan Tianfan instantly understood Xia Yu''s meaning, smiled on his face, and responded loudly. "Go!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, watching Yuan Tianfan give instructions. "Jianning, immediately notify the various action agencies and my allies so that they will temporarily lose out." After regaining his gaze, Xia Yu whispered to Huo Jianning who was accompanying him. "OK." When Huo Jianning finished responding, he typed the draft, then picked up the encrypted satellite signal mobile phone, and notified the relevant personnel according to the list and directory he carried with him. soon. With Huo Jianning''s continuous notification, the momentum of the bulls in the field gradually weakened. For many stocks that fluctuate violently, the interruption time of buying orders has gradually become longer, the number of selling orders has gradually increased, and the stock price has begun to fall. By the time the market was closed at noon, the prices of more than 500 stocks, of which 258 stocks had already dropped, accounted for almost half of the total number of listed companies. This situation has been discovered by many agencies, and they have inquired about news about the bulls. When the break was over and the market reopened in the afternoon, the development of the situation confirmed their judgment. Until the close in the afternoon. Of the 258 stocks whose stock prices fell in the morning, except for a dozen stocks that counterattacked, the prices of other stocks continued to fall. In addition to this, another batch of stocks was added in the afternoon, and the prices fell. In the last statistic, as of the close of trading, there are as many as 331 stocks whose stock prices have fallen today! The trading volume throughout the day on Monday did not hit a new high, but it also exceeded 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, the second highest in history, at 40.29 billion Hong Kong dollars! Sure enough, Monday''s market trend and the long-short battle situation made most investors restless and awake at night. After the shorts discussed in secret, they also unanimously decided to seize the opportunity the next day to give the longs a slam to beat the momentum! then. After the stock market opened the next day. The bulls still throw a lot of buying orders, but they are still overwhelmed by overwhelming sell orders. One minute after the opening, the Hang Seng Index plummeted by 32 points. The bulls seemed to be overwhelmed. Although they hurriedly took out a large number of pay orders, they did not break the situation back in five minutes. Instead, they were beaten steadily. 10:28 am. The Hang Seng Index fell below 2100 points. At 11:44 in the morning, the Hang Seng Index fell below the 2,000-point mark. When I saw that the Hang Seng Index fell to the beginning of 1, on the display of the exchange, there was a lot of sadness in the exchange. Many investors who were emotionally out of control tore the newspapers they clenched in their hands to the ground. Many of the Evening News yesterday evening and the financial newspapers this morning were analyzing yesterday''s bullish situation. Although the bulls are weak, the bulls are still strong and will definitely not allow the Hang Seng Index to fall below the 2,000 mark. Under the propaganda of the media, the 2,000-point line of the Hang Seng Index seems to be the last trench and line of defense, and it must not be lost. But for this line of defense, they watched as it was blown down by the empty head. How can this not let them down and irritated? In the quarter of an hour between 11:45 and 12:00, the bulls seemed extremely unwilling to fight back and fought fiercely with the bears. The Hang Seng Index returned to more than 2,000 points three times. But unfortunately, after three times, the bulls seem to be exhausted and can no longer regain positions. Until the market closed at 12:30 in the morning, the Hang Seng Index had fallen to 1948.7. Against the backdrop of this number, pessimism in the market is getting stronger and stronger. For most investors, the trace of luck in their hearts is completely shattered. For the two hours between 12:30 noon and 14:30 pm, they need to make a plan to sell after the opening of the afternoon, and strive to sell the stocks they hold at a higher price, and stop loss as much as possible. field! And this is exactly what Xia Yu wants. If investors are all mangy sugar, they don''t need leverage, and the dealers can''t cut it even if they want to cut it. There must be such people, but Xia Yu hopes that at this time, there will be as few such people as possible. So this afternoon, we still have to let the market fall, but the decline must be controlled to be able to acquire as many stocks as possible. Otherwise, if it falls too sharply, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no shrewd investment institutions or investors who choose to fight, which is not conducive to his plan. Just as Xia Yu carefully deployed the acquisition plan for the afternoon, he was a little empty, but at this time he was already looking forward to the celebration party soon... PS: These days I was so exhausted from work these days. I sleep for less than six hours every night and noon. My heart feels hot and fast. For fear of sudden death, I can only break the watch. Some colleagues have already fallen down for surgery and took a long vacation. There was no vacation last weekend. Let''s take a day off this week, and continue tomorrow. Sorry everyone, rest early and good night! v3 Chapter 1456: Li Jiacheng At noon, Li Jiacheng was invited by Liu Luanxiong to go to the latter¡¯s home to have a meal, and take a rest after the meal to continue to the company¡¯s front line. I have to say that Liu Luanxiong is indeed a financially talented person. Although he entered the business late, he is bold and careful and good at seizing opportunities. So even if Li Jiacheng had his own securities company for a long time, but this time he entrusted Liu Luanxiong''s securities company to help. On the way back, Li Jiacheng and Liu Luanxiong shared a car. The two chatted about the stock market in the morning, and smiles appeared on their faces. "Li Sheng, it looks like the bulls'' defense is about to collapse. As long as our short actions are effective, there is a high chance that the Hang Seng Index will drop below 1500 points, and it is very likely to happen this week." After hearing this, Li Jiacheng nodded after thinking for a moment: "Indeed, judging from the situation in the morning, the bulls really can''t hold them." Then he changed his voice. "However, we still have to be more stable, and the line to enter the market should be set higher. After all, the current situation in the UK is very delicate." Liu Luanxiong was taken aback, the smile on his face gradually reduced, and he hurriedly searched: "Li Sheng, you are talking about the issue of Xiangjiang. The situation in the UK is going to be clear and it is not good for us?" "Is this news accurate?" Li Jiacheng nodded and gave Liu Luanxiong an affirmative answer: "I have been watching. The attitude of the mainland is very tough. Now the Chinese and British sides have held many talks, and the time interval between the talks is getting shorter and shorter. However, in the United Kingdom, it is conservative. The voice within the party against the abolition of the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" is also getting louder." "Although it doesn''t matter what the result is as long as it is delayed for some time, the most important thing now is the grasp of time." "The Rohill family told us that it was okay, but we have to be steady." Liu Luanxiong sighed, "It seems that the news on my side has lagged a lot, and I will have to work hard to keep up with you in the future!" "You are right, foreigners are definitely unreliable. Although we are on the same line with them, we have to withdraw first to avoid being left as cannon fodder." Li Jiacheng added again: "And let''s not take it lightly. Xia Yu and others are extremely strong. Banks and financial companies under his command don''t know how much capital they have. Although they are losing ground, they definitely have plans to fight back in the next stage. The lower the fall, the better for them to fight back!" Liu Luanxiong nodded, thinking of Xia Yu''s influence in the Hong Kong financial market, he felt a sudden increase in pressure, and he shouted: "It is true. Xia Yu and others must have a lot of funds. This is an unknown huge risk." Li Jiacheng''s expression slowed down, and he told Liu Luanxiong: "It''s okay for the two of us to know about this. Don''t tell it to others. I will tell others when the time is right." Li Jiacheng also wanted to take care of himself first, but he entrusted Liu Luanxiong with some action plans, so he could not hide Liu Luanxiong. That being the case, he might as well say to Liu Luanxiong openly that he should also pull up this little brother. Anyway, one more Liu Luanxiong will have no effect on his plan to leave the battlefield early. However, this matter must be kept secret for the time being. After all, to withdraw from the battlefield in advance, this kind of behavior is beneficial to the bulls and not the bears, and it is a kind of betrayal to the bears. Now that Cheung Kong Holdings has one-third of the equity held by the Rohill family, it is difficult for Li Jiacheng to disembark, so what he can do is to withdraw early without the Rohill family knowing. Bargain hunting, so as to ensure that the profits from short gambling can be pocketed and secretly developed. Liu Luanxiong''s eyes flashed with an inexplicable smile, and he nodded and promised: "Li Sheng, don''t worry, you know, I''m a strict mouth!" "By the way, Li Sheng, since we are going to withdraw early, what do you think of bargaining when it is initially set to 1600?" "It is very possible for the market to fall to 1500 points. We started bargaining at 1600 points, and there is a buffer of 100 points, which is enough for us to complete the plan. Li Jiacheng would definitely refer to Liu Luanxiong¡¯s opinions, but he did not immediately nod his head: "Look first, this afternoon and tomorrow, and then gather people to analyze the trend of the future market. It depends on the situation at that time." "good." ... Li Jiacheng and others, including Evelyn Rohill and others, were misled by the wrong trend of the market. If Xia Yu wanted to reap them, he couldn''t extreme want to hunt down at the lowest point. After all, he has too many stocks to acquire, and he cannot pursue peak single-share profits, but instead has to stare at the plate of total profits. If the profit per share is low, it will be low. As long as it is measured, the future profit will be extremely considerable. Soon, two hours passed at noon. The stock market opened again at 2:30 in the afternoon. The broader market dived collectively, and the Hang Seng Index fell directly by 12 points. Then he rushed down again with the posture of no return. The bulls headed by Xia Yu are still continuously placing buy orders to match sell orders, buying a large number of stocks. It''s just that the buy order is always worse than the sell order, so that the price of each stock is still falling one by one, driving the entire market to fall. As of the market close on Tuesday afternoon, the Hang Seng Index fell to 1824.9, and the cumulative trading volume that day reached 41.82 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was higher than Monday and slightly lower than last Friday. However, because the prices of all stocks in the broader market today are lower than those of last Friday, in fact today''s trading volume is more than that of last Friday, but the trading volume appears to be lower due to the stock price issue. On Wednesday, the market panic was even higher, with the full-day trading volume reaching 45.94 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Hang Seng Index fell to 1739.5. It was only after Thursday that the battle became very anxious. The bulls once again organized a massive counter-offensive, and the Hang Seng Index once returned to more than 1750 points. Although the Hang Seng Index fell again when the market closed later, falling to 1703.8. But anyhow, today''s Hang Seng Index fell only 2.05%, lower than yesterday''s 4.68% drop. After the market was closed that day, Liu Tianci reported the transaction to Xia Yu. The transaction volume on that day was 45.29 billion Hong Kong dollars, slightly lower than Wednesday. Including last Friday''s transaction volume, the transaction volume in five days has reached 216.09 billion Hong Kong dollars. Most of the 200-odd billion Hong Kong dollar guarding funds came from Xia Yu and his allies, and the remaining part was mainland companies in Hong Kong or firm-looking institutions ~ www.novelhall.com ~ five working days trading The amount is more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. The specific data has not been released by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. External agencies can only rely on estimates, but the results of the estimates are also shocking. But this is not what worries the bears the most. What worries them is that they have been manipulated for so many days. Although the bulls have retreated steadily, they still persevere, and they still have room to counterattack! Finally, the panic torrent was finally blocked by the bulls. However, the "ammunition" of small and medium investors and scattered investors in the market is about to bottom out. The longs have been slow to liquidate their positions, and their shorts have no way to buy the stocks released by the longs. Li Jiacheng and Liu Luanxiong are even more anxious. They still want to wait for the bottom of the Hang Seng Index at 1600, but the bulls have been holding on, making them unable to advance or retreat. On the British side, Evelyn Lowhill and Terrence Warburg also realized something was wrong... v3 Chapter 1457: It seems to lose! Latest URL: "Something''s wrong, my instinct tells me there is a problem!" "The longs do not really have insufficient funds, but deliberately misled us and tempted us to sell equity at a low price!" When they met again, Eric Schroeder, the president of the Schroder Group, put his hands on the oval long table, his eyes swept across everyone''s faces, and his expression was extremely serious. "It is possible, but do we have other options now?" York Randolph of the Dutch Deep Sea Fund leaned back on the chair, opened his hands and said, his face was not pretty. The others were silent immediately. Evelyn Lohill saw that everyone''s mentality was a little wrong, and he suddenly reminded him loudly: "Mr., there is really no other choice. Fuying is already in our respective company''s accounts, and we are waiting to harvest after we win. " "We only have a portion of the stocks that have not yet been sold in our hands. What we have to do now is to do everything possible to win the victory that belongs to us." "Evelyn was right. Do you have any good solutions now?" Terrence Warburg took the conversation and said. "Now it''s hard work, what else can I do?" "We have used the political attack, and now we are still arguing internally. Instead, the opposition is becoming stronger and stronger. The potential of this method has been exhausted and it is currently useless." Steve Carr Wen shrugged and sighed, illuminating the frustrating situation. "Boom!" Cize Hobert of the British Golden Forest Asset Management Company knocked on the table at this time, showing a smile, and using a slightly high-pitched voice to boost morale. "Gentlemen sitting here, the results have not come out yet, I think we should not be too pessimistic." "We should think so. The bulls lead the stock price to go down and then buy. This is a manifestation of their insufficient funds." "Otherwise, they can definitely take over the market more strongly, instead of using small means here." "So what we have to do now, and what we can do, is to shoot all the shells and win or lose in a battle!" "Papa......" As soon as Cize Hobert''s voice fell, Evelyn Rohill applauded impatiently, and then the others came back to their senses and applauded. "President Hobart is right, let''s hit the plate in one go!" "However, I suggest that Xiangjiang time be a one-time hit on next Monday. On Friday, time is too tight." ... "Evelyn, you are finally back, what was the result of the negotiation?" Evelyn Lowhill returned to the family and saw Jacob Lowhill in the pavilion in the garden who was reading a research report. The latter took the initiative to put down the report and asked him about the situation. "Jacob, it has been decided, Friday will be deadlocked for another day, and then after the market opens next Monday, he will take out all his chips and hit the market at once." "Of course, we will also seize these two days to reach an acquisition agreement with the major shareholders of some listed companies in Heung Kong as soon as possible to increase our ammunition and ensure that the offensive next Monday is strong enough." Evelyn Lohill summed up the final result of the meeting in two sentences. Jacob Rohill was lost in thought, and a few seconds later nodded slightly: "This is indeed the best way at the moment." "At this time, retail investors and small and medium-sized holdings have not many stocks in their hands, and there are still a lot of stocks in their hands. Except for the long positions, which are the major shareholders of various companies, the front line is too long and it will not benefit us much." "It is best to win or lose in one fell swoop. If this does not defeat the bulls, then we will think of other ways." "Anyway, the long-term funds are locked up. Most of the funds are in our hands. We have money in our hands. In the small area of ??Xiangjiang, we still have the bargaining chip to counterattack." Evelyn Lohill smiled and nodded: "Yes, we already have a plan, but I hope it won''t be used." ... really. On Friday, when retail investors and small and medium-sized institutions were selling less heavily, the short sellers sold some stocks themselves, knocking the Hang Seng Index below the 1,700 point mark. At the close of the market on Friday, the Hang Seng Index fell to 1688.4, which was not a big drop. . The trading volume on the day was HK$40.58 billion. Overall, although the bulls are slightly stronger, the bulls and the bears maintain a stalemate. In the two days of the weekend, the bears did their best to sing the Hong Kong stock market. And Xia Yu believes that he has acquired enough stocks and wants to leave some vitality to the investors that Xiangjiang has persisted until now. Therefore, his media empire completely let go of his hands and feet this time, and frantically beat the readers. The clear-cut public opinion situation has also made many investors hesitate. This trend of public opinion continued into the new week. really. As the stock market restarted again on Monday, a more violent selling offensive emerged than ever before. The bears seem to want to use an overwhelming bombing to blast the bulls in Xiangjiang into dregs. "Don''t worry, stay calm and increase buying!" At Jiuding Securities Company, the traders who had just started to adjust their status were slightly disturbed by the short offensive. Xia Yu, who was also in the operation room, calmed the traders in front of him in a calm tone. Sure enough, after the trader completes one transaction, he immediately opens the second time, and he opens it up directly, not caring about the huge amount of funds flowing out of the unlimited operating account. "Chairman, it really is the same as your analysis, this is the last madness for a bear." Observing that the state of all the traders has stabilized and they are playing better and better, Yuan Tianfan relaxed and smiled and complimented Xia Yu beside him. The number of sell orders that are being thrown out in front of them are all huge sales orders. There are only short positions and major shareholders of listed companies with this amount of stocks. But now the action is still so orderly, then it can only be a short-term. "Hehe~" "No matter how crazy you are, dogs are still dogs. Give these dogs a stick today." "After knocking out these dogs, my main task this week is to fry me back in the stock market, and it''s time to harvest." Thinking of the possible profits from future harvests, Xia Yu couldn''t help but raised his mouth slightly and said with a faint smile. "Understand, promise to complete the task!" Yuan Tianfan replied loudly with a smile. ... Every minute and every second, the trading atmosphere of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is very tense. The old stockholders who eat melon inside the exchange hold their breath from time to time, watching this monstrous battle. Thinking of the fact that behind every big order is millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, they couldn''t help but rush in their blood. The gods fight, it''s so enjoyable to watch! Ten billion Hong Kong dollars! Twenty billion Hong Kong dollars! 30 billion Hong Kong dollars! In just one hour, the exchange''s turnover soared to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, setting a new trading record again. Fortunately, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has kept up with the times in the replacement of electronic equipment, and now it is able to withstand such a huge transaction frequency. Otherwise, if you use the equipment of the same level that you used in the first place, you will be over now! The consequences would be unimaginable, and the consequences would be extremely detrimental to Xia Yu. ... The people who eat melon can feel the pressure, and one can imagine how the two sides directly participating in the war will feel. For example, Terrence Warburg, who came to Xiangjiang to command in person. He listened to his subordinates reporting the amount of ammunition remaining in his ears, his eyes staring at the big plate, his expression becoming more and more solemn. When he saw that Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., which had taken out the remaining 42,000 lots, was eaten by the bulls within a few seconds after hanging out, Terrence Warburg couldn''t help screaming. Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is one of their main targets for short selling. The company¡¯s total share capital is one billion shares, and the company¡¯s own set of 500 shares at the time of listing, so now S¡¤G¡¤Huabao has listed 42,000 lots of stocks, the number of which is as high as 21 million shares. The listed selling price is 21.48 Hong Kong dollars per share, which means that the total value of this sale order is as high as 451.08 million Hong Kong dollars. The purpose of such an amazing selling order is to serve as the lowest ballast stone and knock down the stock price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Company in one fell swoop, but it was unexpectedly eaten by the bulls in just a few seconds! It''s nothing more than the calculation, the key is that the firepower shown by the bulls now frightens him. This kind of firepower has been maintained for more than an hour, and the bulls are still able to maintain it. It can be seen that the bulls'' fund pool is very full. But at this time, there is no room for turning back. The only thing that can be done is to thoroughly implement the resolution of last week and completely empty the ammunition held. Thinking of this, he gave an order: "All the remaining stocks will be sold out at once." As soon as his voice fell, all traders acted immediately. Then, stocks worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars were thrown out at low prices. It''s just that Terrence Warburg hasn''t been happy before he sees these big selling orders are declining one by one, and they disappear faster as they get later. One minute later... "Chairman, it''s all over." "I''ve thrown it all out here too!" "Me too." "..." Each trader reported the situation one after another and stopped at the same time, looking back at Terrence Warburg. The stocks in the account are all sold out, and there is no need to buy them, they have nothing to do. It''s just the situation in which they personally participated, but it made these traders feel distressed. "It''s over!" Listening to the subordinates stopping to report one by one, Terrence Warburg''s heart kept sinking. When he saw that the last large sales order was cleared, he subconsciously said something, his eyes closed and his fists were closed. Hold it tightly. With all the ammunition in his hands, he and S¡¤G¡¤Huabao have completely become spectators, and they can only pin their hopes on other allies. It''s just that the current situation is very detrimental to the bears. It seems to lose! v3 Chapter 1458: Hong Kong stocks are so exciting! Latest website: Chapter 1458 Hong Kong stocks are so exciting! After all, the final attack on Monday at Hong Kong Time is of great importance. Although Evelyn Rohill did not come to Xiangjiang to sit in person, he chose to stay up late to pay attention. At four o''clock in the morning, London time, Evelyn Rohill, who was already too sleepy, was awakened by the sudden ringing of the bell. Upon answering the phone, it was found that it was Terrence Warburg. "Evelyn, things are not so good!" Just the first words he heard made Evelyn Rohill''s face changed drastically. "What''s the situation, why do you say that?" Evelyn Lohill asked hurriedly into the microphone. "..." Constantly listening to Terrence Warburg''s explanation on the phone, Evelyn Roshir''s complexion became more and more serious, and the sleepiness just disappeared. After Terrence Warburg had finished speaking, Evelyn Roshere pacified him, and then hung up. s¡¤g¡¤Huabao¡¯s stocks to be sold are all sold out. Unless the acquisition team that is still in action acquires the stocks of some companies and sells them, they can only act as spectators and pin their hopes on other allies. Their short-term strength is already weakening! Even the main s¡¤g¡¤Huabao company''s ammunition has been used up, so other companies... Thinking of this, Evelyn Rohill shuddered. You Dao is afraid of what comes. In less than two minutes, the phone on the desk awakened Evelyn Lowhill, who had fallen into contemplation again. He hurriedly answered the phone: "Hey..." "Patter!" "Damn it!" After hanging up the phone, Evelyn Lowhill couldn''t help screaming and got up and paced back and forth in the living room. The ammunition of Cerberos Capital Management is also out! The strength of their shorts decayed once again! The sense of crisis in Evelyn Roshir''s heart became more and more serious, as if a sharp sword hung over his head was about to fall. And soon. "Ring Ling Ling..." The phone on the desktop rang like a urging curse again. ... "Chairman, the power of the bears is obviously weakened!" "We are going to win!" Among the Jiuding Securities Company, Yuan Tianfan said to Xia Yu with some excitement. There was also a smile on Xia Yu''s face, and he nodded with a smile: "The outcome is about to be determined." "But there will be more work to come. The Hang Seng Index is still below two thousand. It will take a lot of energy to recover to its peak." "I understand that I will implement it according to the plan at that time, please rest assured." Yuan Tianfan put away his smile and replied solemnly. One morning! It''s just a morning time! Not only the shorts in Europe and America, but also the traitors on the side of Xiangjiang, all the stocks they wanted to sell were polished. In their wailing and despair, all the stocks they sold were eaten! The transaction volume in one morning exceeded 72.49 billion Hong Kong dollars! This data is controlled internally by the Unified Exchange, but it is believed that there will be no chance to break it under normal circumstances in the next few years. (Don¡¯t dare to write about Li¡¯s situation, I haven¡¯t released it in the previous chapter) The huge changes in the market have left a group of financial institutions and people who are paying close attention to the plot bewildered. Unexpectedly, the menacing shorts were defeated! And next. It''s long performance time! At noon, they met for integration. At the opening of the afternoon, the bulls blew the horn of counterattack. The most iconic is the share price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a leading real estate stock. The company''s equity was originally highly concentrated in the hands of Xia Yu''s consortium. Even if a large part of it was lent to s¡¤g¡¤Huabao during the previous gambling, the company''s own holding company also cashed out part of it at a high level. However, the Jiuding Consortium''s shareholding ratio in Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has always been maintained at more than 66.7%. In the process of the market decline, most of the stocks that were left out were taken back at low prices. Except for a small part, it was held by investors who were extremely stubborn and did not let go. 97.18% of the shares are held in the hands of various companies of the Jiuding Consortium. It can be said that although Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is still a listed company, and according to the distribution of equity, it also meets the requirements of the United Exchange''s listed company status, but in essence, investors outside the consortium can no longer affect the company''s stock price. Under this circumstance, it is easy to raise the stock price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.! After the market opens in the afternoon. The share price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. started to take off from 21.52 Hong Kong dollars per share. 24.85 Hong Kong dollars per share! 26.18 HKD per share! ... 32.39 HKD per share! ... 38.85 Hong Kong dollars per share! No matter how the stock price rises, there is no investor placing a sell order to match it. In just ten minutes, the stock price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. rose from 21.52 Hong Kong dollars per share to 38.85 Hong Kong dollars per share, an increase of up to 80%! The most important thing is that Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is still the absolute hegemon in the field of Xiangjiang Real Estate. With the soaring stock price, the market value has risen from 21.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to 38.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, and continues to rush toward the peak market value! There is no daily limit, Hong Kong stocks are so exciting! ... "Old Zhang, it''s up again!" "I know I can''t sell it. The stock **** is the king of Xiangjiang. He will never lose. I won the bet!" "I told you a long time ago that you don''t want to sell it. You insisted on selling it for so long, but it happened this morning that you couldn''t help selling it. What a pity!" On the Stock Exchange, a middle-aged bald head watched the stock price trend of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and laughed wildly. He patted his friend Lao Zhang with his big hand and stunned his wrist. "Flap...pop!" Hearing the words of the middle-aged bald head, Lao Zhang''s face looked like a bitter gourd. Seeing the excitement of his friend Lao Wang at this time, he regretted it more and more, and suddenly couldn''t help but slap himself in the face. "I regret it!" "Why am I so stupid, if you give me another chance, I will definitely not sell!" Yu Guang glanced at it and saw that Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.''s stock price had surpassed 40 Hong Kong dollars per share in a short period of time, and the market value had returned to 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. Zhang slapped himself more. At this time, the bald man finally recovered from the shock of his friend¡¯s astonishing behavior. He hurriedly grabbed Lao Zhang¡¯s hand to prevent him from drawing his blushing face, and hurriedly comforted him: "Lao Zhang, don¡¯t After hitting, as long as you look for the company of the stock **** next time, you can definitely make money if you hold it tight." "It''s swollen, it''s hard to explain to you when you go home!" Lao Zhang sighed, and finally did not continue to fight again. He stared at the stock of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., as if to be branded in his heart, and said bitterly: "Next time, I must catch this. Stocks!" "Being fooled by others again, I''m going to be on the street!" "Pharaoh, you must supervise me, if I hesitate next time, you will just blow me up." The bald man Pharaoh nodded hurriedly and said, "It must be." ... This similar scene happened in many places in the exchange. The last regret is the investors who were affected by the short position this morning and dumped the stocks. These people are worse than those who sold the stocks last week. The psychological barrier is also the most sad. And the investors who persisted to the end, for the rest of their lives, are also venting wildly, yelling, laughing wildly, etc., wantonly venting their inner excitement. Of course, there are some more calm investors who are constantly observing the trend of the Hong Kong stock market at this time. It can be said that more than 500 stocks have risen across the board. But they found that companies related to Xia Yu, such as Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Galaxy Film Company, Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, China Gas Company, Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group, etc., have the most crazy stock price rises. And these companies, without exception, are all blue-chip stocks and are the main stocks in Hong Kong stocks! None of these companies has a scale of less than tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. As the stock prices of these companies soared, it strongly drove the Hang Seng Index soaring. Unfortunately, there are restrictions on the trading time in the afternoon. The skyrocketing stock market across the board was finally temporarily stopped by time. But nevertheless. By the end of the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index had regained 2632.8 points, a surge of more than 900 points in one afternoon, driving the total market value of Hong Kong stocks back to trillions of Hong Kong dollars. For those shorts. In one afternoon, the floating profit that originally belonged to them disappeared for nearly four floors! The most terrible thing is. They have lost the ability to intervene in the stock market. Although they hold a large sum of funds obtained from selling stocks in their hands, they are heartbroken when they think that a large part of the money has to be spit out. if¡­¡­ The bulls are more aggressive, and some of the stocks that focus on short gambling have exploded to a very high level. They not only have to return all the floating profits, but also have to lose their underpants! Based on their understanding of Xia Yu, Xia Yu is really possible and really capable of doing this. It''s them, and they will definitely do it! Because of this, they all burned their **** and went crazy in a hurry. This matter is endless, and follow-up plans must be initiated. If the stock market loses, it is not a complete loss. There is still a chance! Must act now! ~: Not more tonight I can¡¯t write halfway through tonight. I have something to do at home. Now I have to rush to the hospital with my family. I will see the situation in the next few days. I can¡¯t say anything now. I can only ask God for blessing. The most powerful hero who likes rebirth, please collect it: () The most powerful hero of rebirth has the fastest update speed. v3 Chapter 1459: 3 of the top 5 investment banks on Wall Street In London, England, in the Rothschild family''s manor, a kind of empty heads gathered together again. This time, they all looked gloomy, and they had no idea where they were once relaxed and comfortable, and all they had was just endless pressure. After scanning around and counting the number of people, Nelson Longo suggested to Evelyn Rohill. "Evelyn, let''s get started, except for a few people in Xiangjiang, everyone else has arrived." Evelyn Rohill nodded and started today''s meeting. "Gentlemen, we all hope that this is a meeting to share the fruits of victory, but unfortunately, the result is completely the opposite. We lost!" The atmosphere in the room became a bit heavier as soon as he said this. Unconsciously, Evelyn Rohill continued to say: "There are many reasons for failure, the most important are three aspects." "First, the enemy''s political energy is so strong that our attacks in the political arena did not produce satisfactory results." "Second, the enemy''s strategy is relatively large, and our plan was disrupted, so that we fell into the enemy''s trap and did not consume enough funds from the enemy." "The third and most important point is that the enemy''s hard power exceeds our estimates. Until the defeat, we have not measured the enemy''s true capital." "So we won''t be wronged!" Xiru 75zhongwen.com Xiru "Hey¡­" "We really did not lose unjustly." As soon as Evelyn Rohill''s voice fell, a sigh suddenly appeared in the room. "Flap!" At this moment, Evelyn Lowhill clapped his palms, and after attracting everyone¡¯s attention, he raised his volume and said, ¡°Well, gentlemen, I said so much, not to hit everyone, but If I want to alert everyone and myself, I must increase the importance of the enemy to the highest level!" "We lost this game, but we still have a backup plan, and we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!" "But this opportunity is only once!" "If we lose again, then we will suffer more serious losses." "And once we win, then at least we have the opportunity to offset the losses of shorting the stock market, and may even completely reverse the entire battle and regain the fruits of the stock market that belonged to us!" Eric Schroeder knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Evelyn, everyone knows these things. Let''s discuss the alternative plan directly." "A backup plan has been made before to attack the currency market in Xiangjiang, but the battle situation is slightly different from the plan. Let''s discuss it for the last time." Seeing what Eric Schroeder said, Evelyn Rosier didn''t bother anymore, and said: "Since everyone can''t wait, let''s discuss it for the last time." Afterwards, Evelyn Rohill ordered his assistant to send everyone a copy of the printed pile of backup plans, and saw that everyone had obtained it. He cleared his throat and continued to preside over the meeting: "Our backup plan is to defeat the foreign exchange market in Hong Kong, but whether it can be realized depends on how the Hong Kong government chooses." "HeungKong currently implements a linked exchange rate system, with a 6.1:1 exchange rate **** the U.S. dollar exchange rate system. Once we attack the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, the Hong Kong government has few options." "The Hong Kong government will either increase our short-selling costs by raising interest rates, or implement foreign exchange controls to interrupt our short-selling, or announce the abandonment of the linked exchange rate system and choose to surrender." "Of course, we estimate that the Hong Kong government and our enemies will choose to stick to the exchange rate and fight for funds with us." "This last point is something we don''t want to see, but it is very likely to happen." "..." Evelyn Lohill spoke a lot of words, and explained the context of the backup plan very thoroughly. Then, everyone began to analyze and judge further. According to their analysis, the last thing the Hong Kong government can do is to implement foreign exchange controls and restrict the exchange of foreign currencies. Today''s mainland is doing this. Although the official exchange rate is controlled, the black market exchange rate cannot be controlled, so that the black market of RMB against the US dollar and the official exchange rate have more than doubled! And Xiangjiang is completely different from the mainland, because Xiangjiang is a free trade port, not only a key node in the global financial system, but also a vital trade transit station. This daily transaction volume is very large. Once foreign exchange controls are implemented, The economic development system of Hong Kong will be hit hard. So this is the most unlikely measure the Hong Kong Government will take. In fact, what they are most willing to see is that the Hong Kong government directly abandons the linked exchange rate system and changes the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar to a floating exchange rate. This is equivalent to the Hong Kong government directly tearing down the defensive walls of the financial market. As for the measures that the Hong Kong government may take to increase the borrowing rate, the impact on them may be large or small. If they want to borrow a large amount of money, the impact will be large. Anyway, given the status quo of this group of people, they are holding large sums of money in their hands, enough to launch an attack on the Xiangjiang Forex market. Unless their offensive is defeated and the battle of fortifications becomes a protracted one again, then they and the international hot money who follow suit will have to borrow money, and the impact of such measures to raise interest rates will be great. To analyze and analyze, combined with Xia Yu''s personality and his influence on the Hong Kong government, UU read www.uukanshu. Com Hong Kong¡¯s fixed-income linked exchange rate system will smash with them to the end, it is most likely to happen! Before I knew it, more than an hour passed. The backup plan has also been changed and turned into an action plan to be implemented from tomorrow. "Well, since everyone has reached an agreement, then we will implement it according to the plan." "In addition to the Hong Kong dollars we originally held in the Hong Kong branch and the funds we cashed out recently, all of our institutions currently hold a total of 331.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. According to the current exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars, we can exchange for 54.4 billion U.S. dollars. ." "In the foreign exchange reserves of Xiangjiang, the US dollar foreign exchange is only 11.78 billion, which is only about one-fifth of what we need." "But this time we have to win!" "We only have two days of preparation time. The tasks assigned to each other must be fully completed!" ¡­ After the meeting, everyone immediately took action. Although the market is closed now at Hong Kong time, the preparation phase for their actions in these two days is not small. According to the plan this time, they must drag more institutions into the water, once again strengthen their strength, even if they need to divide the cake! The selected institutions are undoubtedly all giants. What Evelyn Rohill needs to win is Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. These three are all first-class investment banks on Wall Street, occupying three of the top five investment banks on Wall Street! The most important thing is that these three companies have one thing in common. The people behind the scenes are all Jews! Mi He Mi They and the Roshir family are natural allies!

Early on Tuesday morning, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened again. The exchange was crowded with people, and amidst wild laughter and screams, the market once again started a trend of all-round soaring. At the close of the morning, the share price of the representative Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. had been blasted to 53.18 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the company''s market value reached 53.18 billion Hong Kong dollars, basically returning to its previous normal level. The Hang Seng Index also rose due to the overall market trend, rising again by 438.5 points to 3071.3. But Xia Yu still did not stop, and continued to do it in the afternoon, until the close of the market, the Hang Seng Index was pulled to 3528.9. Throughout the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index has risen by 896 points. Although it is not as good as yesterday''s increase of more than 900 points, it is similar. Although the overall market gains are amazing, the trading volume throughout the day is extremely low, and almost no one sells shares. Now in this situation, fools know that they want to lie down and win, how can they choose to sell stocks? At the hardest time before, the Hang Seng Index fell to more than 1,600 points, and the market value of almost all companies has shrunk by more than half. Those investors gritted their teeth and did not sell the stocks, let alone now? For these investors, at this time they are no-brainer longs, and some even shouted the slogan of "rush to five thousand points". All in all, this situation satisfies Xia Yu and other bulls. Xia Yu has set a target for the people below. On Wednesday, he will pull the Hang Seng Index back to its peak before the plunge! Xia Yu and the others were happy, but the empty head was about to vomit blood. For example, Terrence Warburg, who was still in Xiangjiang and did not participate in the empty rally. "Chairman, this is the current situation of our overall investment income." BxW*x.coãá At the resident of the Xiangjiang branch of S¡¤G¡¤Warburg, the secretary carefully presented the summary results of the statistics to Terrence Warburg. Since yesterday afternoon, the bulls have fought a tailwind, and as the entire Hong Kong stock market soared, the floating profits belonging to S¡¤G¡¤Huabao have continued to shrink. Terrence Warburg''s face never showed a smile, it was always a dead face. Especially at the close of the morning, when the stock price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. rose to 53.18 Hong Kong dollars per share, Terrence Warburg was so angry that he smashed his ashtray. "boom!" Picking up the summary results, Terrence Warburg quickly scanned the data one by one, the more he looked at his face, the worse he looked, until he focused on the situation of the Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. stock, he couldn''t help it at all and slapped him. He slapped it heavily on the table, making the secretary who was frightened to the side to pale. I saw it read: the short-selling scale, 147.5 million shares, a total of 5.815585 million Hong Kong dollars recovered, an average selling price of 39.43 Hong Kong dollars per share, the latest closing price of the stock is 64.19 Hong Kong dollars per share, the total income is -365218 million Hong Kong dollars. The stock of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is the largest short-selling stock of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao, and the scale is equivalent to a quarter of the company in this operation. Terrence Warburg is counting on making a fortune on this stock. When the floating profit was the highest before, it once reached a high of 2.65 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, this floating profit disappeared in less than two days, and the floating profit became a floating loss, with a loss of up to 3.65 billion Hong Kong dollars! Between these two figures, the gap is as high as 6.3 billion Hong Kong dollars! In the entire investment, the previous floating profit reached 10.27 billion Hong Kong dollars at its highest, which is 1.68 billion US dollars! But now this income statement shows that the overall income situation has become-2.94 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although there are still some projects whose temporary profits are still floating, they are losing money as a whole. The stock of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is the main source of losses. This also means that although the huge amount of 21.64 billion Hong Kong dollars recovered from these stocks lies in the account of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao, it can be said that the money does not belong to S¡¤G¡¤Huabao, and even has to Inverted 2.94 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the premise is that you have to buy the corresponding amount of stock. As far as the current situation is concerned, Terrence Warburg knows that the floating loss is definitely more than 2.94 billion Hong Kong dollars. How high it can reach depends on the extent to which the bulls want to short the stocks of their company! Anyway, as far as the current stock market is concerned, Terrence Warburg has nothing to do. S.G. Warburg is the meat on the felt board and can only be slaughtered by the bulls. If you want to turn around, you must start with the foreign exchange market according to the plan, and destroy the foreign exchange system of Hong Kong, and then affect the Hong Kong stocks, and the Hong Kong stocks will collapse again! Thinking of this, Terrence Warburg''s eyes flashed a sullen look. ¡­ Wednesday. The entire Hong Kong stock market under the full use of the bulls, the Hang Seng Index was lifted to 4452.6, an increase of 26.17%. The total market value of the entire Hong Kong stock market has returned to the scale of HK$2 trillion! The pressure on all short positions has skyrocketed again. In order not to liquidate their positions, many short positions have to pay margin again. The Rothschild family, with the most shocking losses, has reached 13.48 billion Hong Kong dollars! Of course, this data is only known internally by Evelyn Roshir, and he dared not leak it out at all, for fear of causing panic among investors and triggering the capital crisis of Roshir Investment Bank. At this level, Evelyn Rohill''s belief in breaking the Hong Kong foreign exchange system became firmer. Only in this way can it be completely comeback! Fortunately, he has successfully persuaded Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs in the past two days. Other allies have also pulled some institutions into the chariot of destroying the Hong Kong foreign exchange system! ¡­ On Thursday morning, an institution headed by Jiuding Securities, UU Reading www. Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. uukanshu.com continued to gear up and blasted Hong Kong stocks. Sacrifice like yunxuange.org sacrifice like But at this moment, he received a call from Wang Qi. Some organizations tried to short the HSI futures on a large scale. The trading volume of the HSI futures was huge. This news surprised Xia Yu. Based on the current situation, everyone can see that the Hong Kong stock market has to rise, and the Hang Seng Index is bound to rise. Shorting the Hang Seng Index futures at this time, isn''t this the old birthday star hanging up? Which institution is so stupid? Xia Yu immediately let Wang Qi take the lead and mobilized all forces to investigate the situation. Soon, a series of shorts were drawn out. When this list came out, Wang Qi was also shocked. Because there are no exceptions on this list, they are all well-known financial institutions in the world. The five major Wall Street investment banks, except Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch are not on the list, but Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs are all present. The pressure brought by this group fight is unparalleled. Mi He Mi Wang Qi hurriedly left the affairs of Kirin Capital Company and handed this list to Xia Yu''s hands. After reading this list, Xia Yu frowned. After thinking for a long time, he seemed to think of something, his eyes flickering. At this time, Wang Qi, who was struggling to think about it, observed the change in Xia Yu''s expression and couldn''t help asking: "Chairman, do you know the reason why they dare to do this?" The most powerful hero who likes rebirth, please collect it: () The most powerful hero of rebirth has the fastest update speed. v3 Chapter 1461: Forex! Forex! ();¡¡¡¡ "The stock market has been unable to turn the sky, the enemy holds hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in funds, what do you think they can do?" Xia Yu said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Break the bank''s capital chain? This is completely impossible, because short-term funds go through a few special banking channels for the sake of confidentiality. Not to mention Hong Kong-funded banks, even British-funded banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered have not posted accounts. So it is completely nonsense to want to collapse Xia Yu''s bank capital chain. The only thing that can be done is the foreign exchange market! Wang Qi made it through at one point, his face suddenly became solemn, and he was surprised: "Chairman, the enemy wants to start with Xiangjiang''s linked exchange rate system? Want to destroy the Hong Kong dollar foreign exchange system?" Xia Yu nodded slightly: "This can only be possible." "The foreign exchange reserves of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority will update the data regularly. Although it will not be specifically disclosed to the public, this data cannot be concealed." "It''s normal for the enemy to have this mind." Wang Qi nodded and proposed: "Chairman, with such a huge amount of funds from the enemy, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority cannot last long. Do we have to go through the Banking Association as soon as possible to convene a meeting with the heads of various banks? Raising foreign exchange?" "Or let the Monetary Authority come forward?" "Ring Ling Ling..." Just when Xia Yu was about to speak, the phone on the desktop suddenly rang. He paused and picked up the receiver: "Hey..." "Pattern!" After talking briefly for half a minute, Xia Yu hung up the phone. He looked at Wang Qi and said with a faint smile: "Zhou Shanwen is calling, he will come later." "The enemy started his hand in the foreign exchange market." Wang Qi was taken aback, with emotion on his face, and the chairman was right again. The Zhou Shanwen mentioned in Xia Yu''s words is also very familiar to Wang Qi. He has had a lot of dealings and knows he is his own. Zhou Shanwen was originally the section chief of the Financial Management Section under the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Government. However, the Financial Management Section merged with the Banking Supervision Office and many other departments in 1983 and was reorganized into the Monetary Authority. Zhou Shanwen assumed the post of director. . The Monetary Authority can be said to be the most authoritative institution in the Hong Kong financial sector. It has all the authority of the central bank, except that it does not have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. includes maintaining currency stability within the framework of the linked exchange rate system, promoting the stability and integrity of the financial system, including the banking system, and helping to consolidate Hong Kong¡¯s status as an international financial center, including maintaining and developing Hong Kong¡¯s financial infrastructure and managing foreign exchange funds. Before long, Zhou Shanwen rushed to Xia Yu''s office. Seeing that Wang Qi was also there, Zhou Shanwen, who had just entered the door, was taken aback for a moment, and then respectfully greeted Xia Yu, and also accompanied Wang Qi. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, good morning!" "There is a traffic jam on the road, you have been waiting for a long time, sorry." "fine." "Shanwen, sit down." Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, Zhou Shanwen thanked him and sat down. After sitting down, Zhou Shanwen took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Mr. Xia, let me report to you. Early this morning, the Exchange Fund Management Office in the bureau reported an emergency to me. The major licensed brokers and banks in Hong Kong Our bureau applies to exchange US dollars..." "Because the amount is so staggering, the amount of US dollars applied for exchange is as high as 5.2 billion, so after asking people, I found that this was a premeditated operation." "Because the US dollar foreign exchange managed by our bureau is only 11.78 billion US dollars, so for the time being I will let the following exchange and drag..." After reporting in one breath, Zhou Shanwen was surprised to find that Xia Yu was not surprised at all, but had an inexplicable smile on his face. "this¡­" Seeing Zhou Shanwen¡¯s astonishment, Wang Qi explained with a smile: ¡°Director Zhou, the chairman had guessed it before you called, and the enemy¡¯s funds amounted to hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The exchange volume of US$5.2 billion is just the beginning." Zhou Shanwen''s eyes widened, shocked: "There are hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars?" "If all were exchanged for U.S. dollars, it would cost at least 50 or 60 billion. With the energy of the Monetary Authority, it would be impossible!" How did the foreign exchange of the Monetary Authority come from? was bought from the market! And buying requires a large amount of capital, where does this capital come from? Although the enemy has a large sum of Hong Kong dollars, these Hong Kong dollars must be completed before they can reach the Monetary Authority, and then the Foreign Exchange Administration Office of the Monetary Authority will use the money to buy U.S. dollars. This process takes a lot of time! The most important thing is that once a large amount of US dollars is bought in a short period of time, it will definitely promote the exchange rate of the offshore Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar. In this way, the more foreign currency bought in US dollars, the greater the loss of the Monetary Authority, because no matter how much it is to buy US dollars, the Monetary Authority must maintain a fixed exchange rate in Hong Kong, it must be 6.1 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar. The proportion of foreign exchange to licensed institutions. If the enemy¡¯s energy is large enough, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority can be killed from the source, and it will do everything possible to make the Hong Kong Monetary Authority rich but not able to buy US dollars. Then, as time goes by, the linked exchange rate system of Xiangjiang will naturally collapse. If the official price fails, the black market will naturally prevail. This cannot be stopped. "Mr. Xia, what can I do?" Zhou Shanwen hurriedly looked at Xia Yu. At this time, the only person Xiangjiang had the ability to solve this possible crisis was his boss. Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said without rush: "I''ll give you a reassurance. You can definitely buy U.S. dollars. As long as you hand over the Hong Kong dollar to Jiuding Bank, you can buy it for you with more U.S. dollars. " If someone else said this, Zhou Shanwen would have sneered at it, but he said it from Xia Yu, he believes it! Even if it involves at least fifty or sixty billion dollars! "Mr. Xia, I am completely relieved by your words." Zhou Shanwen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. But Xia Yu shook his head, causing the smile on Zhou Shanwen''s face to freeze instantly. He asked carefully: "Mr. Xia, is there any problem?" "Boom! Boom!" Xia Yu tapped his finger on the table and said lightly: "The problem is not with me, but with you!" "Your side should also go all out to buy US dollars while maintaining a stable exchange rate, so as to improve the ability to deal with crises by combat." "Not only that." "The enemy will definitely find ways to create negative public opinion, so you must stand up, show strong confidence and determination, and not let the enemy rise, do you understand?" "Otherwise it will cause panic and the people will want to exchange dollars to preserve the value of their funds. UU Reading will not be able to solve the problem of 50 or 60 billion US dollars of foreign exchange!" This picture appeared in Zhou Shanwen''s mind. He shuddered and said hurriedly and solemnly: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured, I will follow your instructions and stand up and fight these enemies to the end!" Xia Yu''s eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he nodded slightly and said clearly: "Crisis crisis, danger comes with opportunity!" "In my opinion, this crisis is an excellent opportunity. As long as the crisis is successfully resolved, the prestige of the Monetary Authority will be thoroughly established, and the self-confidence of Xiangjiang people will be more sufficient." "At the same time, it will also play a cornerstone role in Xiangjiang''s strategy to become an international financial center." Zhou Shanwen sat up straight, nodded his head heavily, and replied loudly: "I understand, I will not let you down!" Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said again: "I will teach you some more things..." once again told Zhou Shanwen, and after answering all his questions, Zhou Shanwen walked away briskly. After Wang Qi knew the deployment, his mind became more active, and he was ready to have fun with the shorts on the HSI futures, and then scrape a layer of oil from the enemy. Xia Yu did not expect it. The enemy deliberately spread news to create market panic. In the afternoon, the news that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority¡¯s foreign exchange reserves was in crisis was circulated in the financial circle. For a time, all major institutions hurriedly convened high-level meetings to study and judge the current situation. Xiangjiang¡¯s originally clear capital battle has been overshadowed again... v3 Chapter 1462: Thats it! Lift up! "Here is here, here is the Governor of Hong Kong, and also here is Director Zhou of the Monetary Authority." In the afternoon, the media reporters came to the news hall of the Hong Kong government with long guns and short cannons. When they saw Su Xingjian and his party walking out of the aisle, the reporters present immediately became energetic. "Please keep quiet, the press conference will begin immediately, everyone''s time is precious!" The host immediately shouted loudly to maintain order in the venue. The venue quieted down instantly, and many reporters watched Su Xingjian and others all seated. "Pop...boom..." Su Xingjian skillfully opened the microphone in front of him, and said directly: "The press conference begins, and you will go directly to the reporter''s questioning session." "First invite this reporter friend, what do you want to ask?" Looking at the reporter pointed to by Su Xingjian, the other reporters around were unable to complain, and there was no way to be jealous. Who made that reporter belong to the "Jiuding Daily"? Which Hong Kong government¡¯s press conference was not the first reporter from Jiuding Daily? "Mr. Governor, there is a lot of rumors from the outside world that a large number of financial institutions are attacking the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar. Is this news true?" Under the scorching eyes of everyone, Su Xingjian nodded without changing his face: "The news is true. There are indeed some financial institutions that are overwhelmingly trying to hit a rock with an egg." The reporter of "Jiuding Daily" immediately asked again: "Listening to what you mean, the Hong Kong government is confident enough to resist the attacks of these financial institutions?" When other reporters saw him continue to ask questions, their eyes were rounded with anger, but seeing that Su Xingjian was really ready to answer, they could only hurriedly regained their attention and gathered on Su Xing Fitness. I saw Su Xingjian clenched his right hand and raised a fist, and said in a firm tone: "For these financial robbers, the Hong Kong government has enough confidence to beat them away." "In the stock market, the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong are united and have beaten the enemy to the ground." "These financial robbers are unwilling to attack the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate and want to get back from the foreign exchange market. This is wishful thinking. They will surely reap even more tragic failures!" "Kab...Kab...Kab..." Such morale-boosting words murdered a lot of film, and even the reporters below couldn''t help but whispered in applause. "This reporter." Su Xingjian immediately ordered another reporter in the front row. "Mr. Governor, we have felt your determination, but as far as I know, Hong Kong''s US dollar foreign exchange reserves are only 11.78 billion US dollars. These funds seem to be difficult to maintain the fixed exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, right?" The reporter immediately asked a sharp question. Su Xingjian smiled and said, "For this question, I think Director Zhou Shanwen will give you a clear answer." With that, Su Xingjian pushed the microphone in front of Zhou Shanwen, who was sitting next to him. Zhou Shanwen nodded to Su Xingjian, then said with a confident and calm smile: "This question is a good question." "In fact, Xiangjiang''s current foreign exchange reserves of 11.78 billion U.S. dollars are extremely high in the world and can be ranked in the top 20 in the world. It is precisely because of this that the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar can be as stable as ever in the past few years." "Of course, it is a special situation now. Some financial institutions are holding large sums of Hong Kong dollars and want to consume Hong Kong''s US dollar foreign exchange reserves. This is a fact, but it is not enough to scare us!" "I can tell you with certainty that this morning, I have met with many business leaders and reached an agreement with many banks on how much USD and foreign exchange I want." "Xiangjiang is a world trade center, foreign currency transactions are very frequent, and there is no shortage of US dollars and foreign exchange!" "Why does the Monetary Authority only hold 11.78 billion U.S. dollars of foreign exchange reserves? It''s not that it doesn''t have the strength to hold more, but that this scale is enough. It is completely easy to buy and increase holdings in large quantities!" "Those financial robbers want to start from here, their wishful thinking is wrong! They are so wrong!" "Pap, papa..." The words of a clear-cut and extreme boost won the applause of almost everyone in the field. "Director Zhou, everyone wants to know, did you reach an agreement with those big guys this morning?" "There are Mr. Xia Yu, President Liu Tianci of Jiuding Bank, and President Shen Bi of HSBC..." ¡­ The press conference lasted only half an hour, but it can be said that the whole process is high-energy. After the press conference, all the reporters participating in the conference rushed back excitedly. They had to take the time to report to the company and organize the draft for publication as soon as possible. Of course, the gossip has always spread faster than the paper media. Those who have been following this press conference for a long time immediately analyzed and judged it. For the financial institutions that are attacking, whether the news is known or not has little meaning. After all, their arrows have been shot, they can only move forward, and can''t take them back! What they can do is to make a desperate move and try their best to attack. Anyway, the stock market has been completely defeated before. No matter how bad the situation is, it will not go bad. It is better to fight! All of a sudden, the exchange rate market of the Hong Kong dollar surged. Whether it''s the offshore foreign exchange market or the local currency exchange market in Hong Kong, they are already fighting in a real fight. Anyway, the major licensed brokers and banks are always willing to come, as long as the customer can get the foreign exchange contract or Hong Kong dollar cash, then don''t hesitate to change it! However, the handling fee that should be drawn is also not collected at all! On Xia Yu''s side, he also received a secret report from the net. The Chaoshan Gang also exchanged the huge amount of funds in their hands that hadn''t had time to buy stocks with those overseas financial institutions into U.S. dollars, which caused a rapid increase in the ammunition depots of those overseas institutions. Their purpose in doing this is nothing more than to hide themselves behind, and not to expose their own nature of two or five sons and gangsters. Xia Yu doesn''t need to guess that those big bears will agree, and it must be that the Rothschild family wants to keep them as their backs. Even if it fails this time, as long as these twenty-five boys are still in Xiangjiang, there will be opportunities later! But Xia Yu didn''t want to make the enemies pleased. Since these twenty-five boys have chosen to betray Xiangjiang and their compatriots, they must be punished as they deserve. If they want to be glamorous, don''t even think about it! Xia Yu immediately ordered Luo Wang to continue to follow up, collect more evidence, and wait until the right time to take action. Let''s talk about Hong Kong stocks. Although some investors have been affected, the upward trend of Hong Kong stocks has slowed slightly. But after the Hong Kong government held a press conference, UU reading sold out again. The bulls continue to frantically raise the stock prices of various companies. Anyway, there are continuous pending orders and withdrawals, and the trading rules of Hong Kong stocks are just so powerful. Don¡¯t have investors sell orders to match the transaction, so you don¡¯t need to consume real funds. This kind of job of driving up the stock price is an easy job! The market value of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has been fired up to more than 70 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it has gone further and further on the road of making history! ¡­ "Everyone works harder and continues to sell Hong Kong dollars. The Hong Kong government''s US dollar foreign exchange reserves have already been consumed by half, and they are about to fall below 5 billion US dollars." Terrence Warburg supervised the battle at the Xiangjiang branch of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company, constantly boosting the morale of the employees who have been fighting for several hours. at this time. "Chairman, something has happened." A subordinate hurriedly walked in, his complexion was obviously wrong, and he walked to Terrence Warburg and said in a low voice. Terrence Warburg looked down and asked, "What''s the matter?" "The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced the news and updated the amount of foreign exchange reserves." Subordinates said hastily. Terrence Warburg said sharply, and asked in a deep voice: "How much?" The subordinate glanced at Terrence Warburg secretly, then lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has exchanged 10 billion U.S. dollars from Jiuding Bank, and the current U.S. dollar foreign exchange reserves are 15.57 billion U.S. dollars." "I...fuck!" Terrence Warburg''s eyes were round, and he couldn''t help but yell. v3 Chapter 1463: 1 dollar for 25 boys "Damn it, Jiuding Bank took out 10 billion U.S. dollars in cash so easily?" "Why is their liquidity so high? Are you afraid of losing money and going bankrupt?" But Terrence Warburg is not panicking, after all, ten billion dollars is not a joke. According to the latest issue of "The Banker" magazine, there are only a few dozen banks in the world with assets of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, and Jiuding Bank is not included. In the battle for the Hong Kong stock market, Jiuding Bank also participated, not only doing it on its own, but also providing financial leverage for other securities companies, consuming a lot of funds. In this case, Jiuding Bank can quickly raise tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange to exchange with the Monetary Authority, which is indeed unreasonable! If all banks in the world hold such a high amount of liquidity as Jiuding Bank, then the result will definitely be a lot of bankruptcies! "Chairman, this should be the upper limit of Jiuding Bank. It should be difficult for them to come up with large sums of dollars." At this time, the reporting subordinate whispered to Terrence Warburg. Terrence Warburg glanced at him and said faintly, "I know." The subordinate lowered his head a little more when he was seen, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but twitch where Terrence Warburg couldn''t see. ... The Monetary Authority exchanged 10 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange from Jiuding Bank, which really shocked the bears. But this in turn stimulated the ferocity of the bears. They had more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars in their hands, and at this time they exchanged more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and there were nearly 300 billion Hong Kong dollars left! Xiangjiang wants to say it won, but it''s too early! For a time, the bears mobilized more manpower to consume Hong Kong''s US dollar foreign exchange reserves from multiple aspects. at the same time. The Lowhill family and other forces are also fully mobilizing business intelligence networks to try to detect the movements of major local financial institutions in Hong Kong. Jiuding Bank can provide 10 billion U.S. dollars to support the Monetary Authority. Maybe other banks or institutions also have this ability. It is necessary to guard against stubborn behavior and interfere as much as possible with the fund-raising and exchange channels of these institutions. ... On Financial Street, Central and Western District, Xia Yu entered a construction site that was about to be demolished after he came out of Jiuding Securities. Here, he met Chen Jianping, the president of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. Of course, Chen Jianping was not qualified to be interviewed by Xia Yu. The reason why Xia Yu came here was to see the future headquarters, the 520-meter-high building, which is about to be fully completed. This is the world''s first building that has been under construction since February 1982, and it has been more than four years since the project was established. Over the past four years, in the most prosperous place on Hong Kong Island''s Central, countless people have watched it start from laying the foundation, adding layers little by little, until it penetrates into the sky. Today, this skyscraper is almost built. If you look at it from the outside, the skyscraper seems to be ready for use. Of course, this is just what it looks like. In fact, a lot of engineering is needed internally. This one-hundred-story building is Xia Yu''s own headquarters, and only intends to let his own company settle in. With his current strength, there are countless companies under him, so there is no need to worry about any vacancies. So he hopes that the skyscraper can be used after delivery, and there is no need to waste time. "Jianping, according to the current progress, can it be completed on schedule?" Wearing a safety helmet, Xia Yu held a drawing in his hand, looked up at the skyscraper in front of him, and asked Chen Jianping softly. According to the original plan, Xia Yu planned to officially open the 520-meter-high building on May 20, 1987. This special day will be once a year. If you miss it, it would be a shame. Chen Jianping on the side hurriedly promised: "Chairman, please rest assured that the current project progress has been nearly two months faster than expected, and in order to speed up the progress, we have adopted the method of construction and acceptance within a controllable range. " "I''m here to assure you that I will be able to complete the delivery before May next year. If it fails, I will take the blame and resign!" This attitude is indeed very good, and military orders have been issued. Xia Yu looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he patted his shoulder and said, "It''s good to have this confidence. I''ll wait for your good news." "Chairman, you won''t be disappointed!" Chen Jianping said firmly with his head held high. "Boom..." "Chairman, your call." At this moment, Huo Jianning, who was next to Xia Yu, took out his mobile phone from his bag and handed it to Xia Yu. "Hey... well, call them back and ask them to go directly to my office. I will be there in about 20 minutes." After hanging up, Xia Yu handed the Tiangong Motorola mobile phone to Huo Jianning again, who immediately put it back in the bag. "Let''s go back to my office." "Chairman, go slowly!" With Chen Jianping waved and watched, Xia Yu''s motorcade drove away from the construction site. Twenty minutes later. Xia Yu''s motorcade returned to the downstairs of Jiuding Building in Kowloon. All the way up to the elevator, Xia Yu returned to his office and saw the two being entertained. It is impressively Ma Jianmin, the president of Xiangjiang Bank of China, and Liu Zhihe. "I''m sorry, Director Liu, President Ma, I have kept you waiting for a long time!" Xia Yu said apologetically, and stretched out his hand to the two who had already got up. "It''s us who should say sorry, Mr. Xia takes care of everything every day, and we are still here to disturb you. I''m really sorry." Liu Zhihe said with a smile. "Yes, Mr. Xia rushed back during his busy schedule. We are very honored!" Ma Jianmin also said with a smile. "Ha ha¡­¡­" "When I received the call, I was also inspecting the completion site and was just about to return." "You two, please sit down." Xia Yu smiled and greeted the two of them to sit down again. "You two come here, is there anything wrong?" Xia Yu took a sip of tea and asked straightforwardly. This also happened to match the two people''s minds. The two looked at each other, and they still answered on behalf of Liu Zhihe from above. "Mr. Xia, it is actually about the financial security of Hong Kong. The above knows that foreign shorts are attacking the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate system. They are very concerned about this, but it is not convenient to contact the Hong Kong government, so we are appointed to come over and check with you." After all, Governor Xiangjiang is still a British, so it is indeed inconvenient to contact him. Xia Yu smiled: "The people who attacked the Xiangjiang Forex market were the same group of people who attacked Hong Kong stocks and engaged in yaozi on the Hong Kong issue." "I don''t know exactly how strong they are, but based on the previous trading situation of Hong Kong stocks, it can be roughly estimated that the shorts have nearly 300 billion Hong Kong dollars in huge funds." "Three hundred billion!" The faces of Liu Zhihe and Ma Jianmin have changed, especially Ma Jianmin, who is engaged in finance himself, can better understand what the 300 billion Hong Kong dollar fund means! "Mr. Xia, the bears really have so much money?" Ma Jianmin asked hurriedly, staring closely at Xia Yu''s face. Xia Yu smiled indifferently, and nodded slightly: "There is at least 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if the short-term moves and attract more international hot money to attack together, then it is more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars." "hiss¡­¡­" Ma Jianmin''s face changed again, and he couldn''t help taking a breath. "Then Xiangjiang is really dangerous." Liu Zhihe''s face was gloomy and watery, and when he remembered the meaning revealed above, he suddenly felt bitter in his mouth. This situation completely surpassed the above estimation. The above sent him to Xia Yu to learn about the situation. It was indeed the right one. But in such a situation, I am afraid that the mainland is also powerless! Thinking that the mainland''s foreign exchange reserves are only more than two billion U.S. dollars, Liu Zhihe feels helpless. No matter how short the 300 billion Hong Kong dollars is, it needs 50 billion US dollars to deal with it. All the US dollar foreign exchange reserves of the mainland are used to help Xiangjiang, but it will not have any effect. What''s more, he knows that there is a shortage of foreign exchange everywhere in the mainland, and various departments and agencies are screaming, and the US dollar foreign exchange is so precious. It''s not going to pass. "Director Liu, President Ma, are there any thoughts on it?" Xia Yu asked with a smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes moving between the two of them. "this¡­¡­" The two looked at each other and didn''t know how to answer. Xia Yu immediately understood, and proactively asked, "Isn''t the mainland''s current foreign exchange reserves abundant?" Realizing that Xia Yu had seen it, Liu Zhihe felt a scorching heat on his face. He smiled reluctantly and said: "It''s really not very rich. Everywhere needs a lot of dollars. Although I have made a lot in the past, most of them are spent. , The country¡¯s foreign exchange reserves are now more than two billion U.S. dollars." After a pause, Liu Zhihe suddenly figured it out again and confessed the situation directly: "I was sent here to find out about the situation and see if I can help." "It''s just that the current situation is far beyond my expectation, so... But I will report the situation to the top, and then I will see the decision above." "Mr. Xia, I made you laugh." Xia Yu didn''t care, smiled and shook his head: "What''s so funny about this." "Director Liu, thank you above for me." "In fact, we already have a countermeasure to deal with this matter. The enemy is only 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if it is more, it does not matter. Xiangjiang has built a very complete financial system over the years, and the enemy can''t turn the sky!" "The above may as well pay more attention to some of the situation in the UK. Just wait for the good news from Xiangjiang. If Xiangjiang wins, there should be no problem with the UK." Xia Yu said these words so easily, and once again shocked Ma Jianmin and Liu Zhihe. It seems that Jiuding Bank''s $10 billion is not the upper limit, and Xia Yu''s strength is really terrifying. However, Xia Yu''s heart is good, and he doesn''t want to see Xiangjiang being crushed. "By the way, there is one thing. I thought I would have the opportunity to talk to the above. It happened that the two of you came today, so Director Liu will hand it over." After speaking, Xia Yu walked to his desk in the eyes of the two of them , then took out the key to open the drawer, took out a file bag from it, and returned to the sofa again. After handing the bag of documents to Liu Zhihe, Xia Yu told him: "This document can be read by both of you, but it is recommended that after you have read it, you should not publicize it and hand in the document." Liu Zhihe took it, opened it, took out the file, just glanced at it, his face changed drastically, suddenly raised his head to look at Xia Yu, after getting the exact look, Liu Zhihe took a deep breath, looking at Ma Jianmin¡¯s puzzled gaze After re-stuffing the file back, he placed it solemnly. "Mr. Xia, we will definitely keep it confidential. After all, we will submit this document to it." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, come, have tea." Almost ten minutes later, Liu Zhihe and Ma Jianmin left with excuses. Xia Yu personally sent the two out, and after seeing the two people''s car leave, the corners of his mouth curled up. I don¡¯t know what the above will do after knowing the situation of these two and five boys... v3 Chapter 1464: The decision to make the Hong Kong financial market take off "Director Liu, what''s the matter, what''s in it that makes you scared?" On the way back, Ma Jianmin still couldn''t restrain his curiosity and asked Liu Zhihe in a low voice. Anyway, Xia Yu said that he can read this information, as long as he doesn''t leak the secrets to the outside world. Liu Zhihe glanced at the driver and bodyguard in front of him, then opened the file bag again, and after taking out the file, he motioned to Ma Jianmin to look at it together. Here, it is surprisingly about the secret cooperation between Li Chaoren and others and the shorts. Not only the content of joint short-term trading in Hong Kong stocks, but also the intelligence of the huge amount of Hong Kong dollars they secretly traded with the shorts two days ago. Each of these contents all indicate the nature of their traitors. For these people, Liu Zhihe and Ma Jianmin have been in contact, and they have already had a fixed impression of them. But after reading this information, they found that the impression of these people in their minds had become fragmented. "Director Liu, this... incredible!" Ma Jianmin couldn''t help sighing, his face was full of horror. Liu Zhihe stared at him, and said with a serious expression: "It''s really unbelievable, but President Ma, do you think these people have higher credibility, or Mr. Xia''s credibility?" His meaning is obvious, is it necessary for Xia Yu to frame these people on purpose? Ma Jianmin said without hesitation: "Of course Mr. Xia has a high degree of credit. His contribution to the country is unparalleled and indelible." "And this time, Mr. Xia has been fighting short attacks, and his position is impeccable." After speaking, Ma Jianmin was silent for a few seconds, and then said with emotion: "The gap... Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart..." "Yes..." Liu Zhihe couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. Looking down at the document in his hand again, Liu Zhihe put it back again, shrugged and sighed: "Forget it, let''s hand this document to it, let''s see how it is decided." "The structure of Xiangjiang seems to have changed dramatically again!" Ma Jianmin nodded, already thinking about it in his heart. HeungKong Bank of China has business dealings with many people in the documents. If HeungKong''s structure changes again, then HeungKong Bank of China will definitely be hit by a huge impact. This is a crisis and also an opportunity. We will see how to grasp the time. ¡­ Xia Yu didn''t pay attention to the above attitude. Anyway, let Liu Zhihe hand in the documents, although the purpose is many, but the main purpose is to play a role in the long-term perspective. In the short term, the biggest effect is to allow the mainland to intervene in a vague way. This time, they were caught by himself after eating inside and out. Xia Yu had to deal with them vigorously, otherwise such things would happen one after another in the future. Only a thousand days are a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief? The only way to get rid of the thief is once and for all. In the next two days, it happened to be Thursday and Friday. As Xia Yu continued to forcefully drive up Hong Kong stocks, the bearers were under increasing pressure. In particular, the first batch of contracts that were short on gambling are about to expire. Hong Kong stocks have been carried so wildly that if the shorts want to return the stocks, they must buy the same amount of stocks they borrowed at a super high price. This is not the most terrible. The most terrible thing is that they are rich now but can''t buy enough stocks, not to mention their Hong Kong dollar has to be used to attack the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar. Because of this, the offensives of these two sky leaders are very fierce, and the news has reached the point where everyone knows. However, Jiuding Bank is doing its best, and within two days, it once again supported the Monetary Authority in foreign exchange worth 10 billion U.S. dollars. Plus the U.S. dollars raised by the Monetary Authority from other sources. After receiving the 1565 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of the enemy, the US dollar foreign exchange reserves of the Monetary Authority still remained as high as 14.27 billion US dollars. Evelyn Lohill and Terrence Warburg and others couldn''t help but yell at them more than once. For two days on the weekend, the foreign exchange market was closed, which once again gave the bears a blow. After all, the foreign exchange market is closed, and they can no longer make a strong offense, but the Monetary Authority can continue to raise dollars through other channels. Sure enough, the Monetary Authority raised foreign exchange reserves from 14.27 billion U.S. dollars to 17.83 billion U.S. dollars again over the weekend. Major banks were the main helpers. ¡­ "What''s the situation with Evelyn, Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs? It seems that they didn''t play a big role." On weekend mornings in London time, Jacob, the head of the Rohill family, was enjoying morning tea and couldn''t help asking his cousin Evelyn Rohill about the situation. Although Evelyn Roshir was responsible for the attack on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, Jacob Roshir, as the head of the family, was always concerned about the progress. "Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs Group did start, but they didn''t have enough time to make preliminary preparations. Initially they could only use their Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong branch and the funds raised from other institutions. So far, they have used them. Over 200 million Hong Kong dollars, the amount is not too small." "Regular trading channels, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and major local institutions are all taking over the Hong Kong dollar. In order to avoid the influence of the face, Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs can only raise Hong Kong dollars from other channels." "It''s just that, the efficiency is much lower. In addition, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is particularly tough, and the fighting intensity is much higher than our previous analysis, so that these companies can''t keep up with the progress in a short time, hey..." With the real situation in his mind, Evelyn Roshere couldn''t help sighing and explained it to Jacob Rosill. Don¡¯t blame your teammates for not being strong, just blame the time is too short and the enemy is too tough! The allies brought in spent more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, which consumed at least 3.2 billion U.S. dollars in reserves of the receiving party. In fact, their contribution is definitely not small. It''s just that Jacob Rohill listened, and although he understood, he was in a bad mood or not. "Jacob, has the family found out, where did Jiuding Bank''s two tens of billions of dollars of funds come from?" Yves who saw Jacob Roshir remain silent and in a bad mood. Lin Rohill couldn''t help asking. Jacob Rosier''s face worsened. He shook his head: "I didn''t investigate it. It seems to have emerged out of thin air, or it was originally in the account of Jiuding Bank." "This..." Evelyn Roshir clenched his fist for an instant, and released it after a few seconds, suddenly feeling helpless. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that from the beginning, my own side thought that he had figured out the details of Xiangjiang and Xia Yu, and overestimated him as much as possible, and never thought that unexpected situations would appear one after another. These two battles were...really depressed and powerless. "Evelyn, you must summon everyone to unify their attitudes today. It is best to throw out all the Hong Kong dollars in your hands after the market opens tomorrow, and don''t worry about the allies who are brought in from behind." "Although these allies have played a significant role, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are not as fast as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in raising funds." "According to your original plan, while intensively selling the Hong Kong dollar, while creating a panic of public opinion, it also brought in a group of powerful allies. A slight extension of the front line will do us more good than harm." "However, judging from the current situation, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. It is best to adjust the strategy immediately." After thinking about it for a long time, Jacob Lowhill made suggestions to Evelyn Lowhill. The latter pondered for a long time and nodded slowly. ¡­ In the new week, nine o''clock in the morning Hong Kong time. The foreign exchange market with no fixed trading venue opened again. The short-term offensive came like a tsunami, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority was busy turning around in an instant, but the funds were rapidly consuming. In less than half an hour, the US dollar foreign exchange reserves consumed more than seven billion U.S. dollars, so that the foreign exchange reserves fell below 10 billion U.S. dollars. In the crisis, Zhou Shanwen immediately called Xia Yu for assistance. Xia Yu immediately asked Zhou Shanwen to send a subordinate to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank for docking. At the same time, his small vault was opened again and directly instructed Liu Tianci to transfer 20 billion US dollars to the bank account of the Monetary Authority. As for the corresponding HK$122 billion. The funds will be deducted from the account of the Monetary Authority in batches. U U Reading Anyway, as long as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority converts U.S. dollars, there will be enough Hong Kong dollars to enter the account, so there is no risk. In addition, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to convey instructions to let all agencies let go of their hands and feet and initiate a decisive battle! Be sure to assist the Monetary Authority to clean up all the Hong Kong dollar sell orders listed on the foreign exchange market in the first place, and completely defeat the enemy! At the same time, Xia Yu''s inspiration flashed and once again gave a shocking instruction. He ordered Huang Xizhao of Global Satellite TV to issue the financial channel to suspend all the programs during the day and live the entire course of the financial war that can be recorded in the annals of history. Let the people of Hong Kong, the audience in Southeast Asia, and the world take a closer look at how strong Hong Kong''s financial system is! Xia Yu wants everyone to know that any enemy who dares to maliciously invade the Hong Kong financial market will be beaten. Xiangjiang also has enough strength and heritage to become one of the global financial centers! v3 Chapter 1465: Behind it is an abyss! Global Satellite TV is the most well-known TV station in Xiangjiang and even in Southeast Asia. none of them! Relying on wonderful programs such as film and television dramas, as well as various professional programs such as people''s livelihood, economics, and politics, Global Satellite TV can be said to be the best in terms of ratings. Regardless of whether it is Hong Kong¡¯s only rival, TVB, or national television stations in other Southeast Asian countries, they can only be left behind. With the influence and control of Xia Yu''s capital empire in Southeast Asia, Global Satellite TV will no longer encounter malicious political suppression, and no political system dares to do this. So if you want to defeat Global Satellite TV, you can only rely on hard power! And head-on competition, ha ha... Global Satellite TV is totally worth it! Working hours on Monday morning are when the ratings are relatively low. The ratings of Global Satellite TV''s financial channel are lower than those of entertainment channels. It is difficult to guarantee the ratings of temporary changes of programs to engage in live interviews. In order to achieve the effect requested by Xia Yu, Huang Xizhao also worked hard, mobilizing the resources of the entire TV station to create momentum for this live interview. Entertainment channels, news channels, people''s livelihood channels...all channels have temporarily changed advertisements, and notices have been interrupted multiple times. Although the content of the notification is simple, it is extremely eye-catching and can completely arouse the curiosity of the audience. "At 10:30 in the morning, let''s meet the Global Satellite TV Financial Channel "Financial Perspective". Famous economics professor Liu Jinhui and Deputy Director of the Monetary Authority Zhang Tianfeng will visit the live broadcast station to take you through the thrilling defense of the Hong Kong dollar!" Time is tight, task is heavy! When receiving the notice, Liu Jinhui was still in class at Jiuding University, but the special task was very important. He could only dismiss get out of class in advance, board a special car sent by the school to the headquarters of Universal Television Station, and use the time on the road to familiarize himself with the task. As for Universal Television Station, let alone, it was directly busy, but Huang Xizhao personally directed the preparations and proceeded in an orderly manner. Time passed by every minute. Near 10:30. "President, the ratings have reached 11.4%, and the ratings share has reached 92.7%!" Huang Xizhao, who was staring at the studio in the background, showed a serious smile after hearing the report from his subordinates. The audience rating is the number of TVs turned on divided by the total number of TVs. At this time in the morning, 11.4% of the audience rating is already extremely high. Under normal circumstances, there are two or three points that are very good. Half an hour ago, the audience rating of the financial channel was less than two points, which increased nearly five times in half an hour! Looking at the real-time audience share of more than nine levels, at least the publicity and mobilization have been done to an excellent degree. No matter what happens later, with this data as a base, he will be able to deal with Xia Yu. As the time came to 10:30, the Global Satellite TV Financial Channel advertisement ended and officially entered the "Financial Perspective" column. Audiences distributed in various places saw the studio scenes through TV sets. "Audience friends, good morning everyone, welcome to "Financial Perspective", I am your old friend Xiao Mingyuan!" The middle-aged host in a formal suit smiled and bowed slightly to say hello. Then he introduced the guests who were sitting on both sides. "For this live broadcast, we are honored to have invited two heavyweight guests, namely Professor Liu Jinhui, an employed professor at the School of Economics of Jiuding University, a well-known writer of "Economic Weekly", and Professor Liu Jinhui, the deputy director of the Institute of Business of Jiuding Think Tank." "And Mr. Zhang Tianfeng, Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority." "Hello, friends in front of the TV, I am Liu Jinhui!" "Hello, friends, I am Zhang Tianfeng!" ¡­ Charles Rohill, a parent company of Xiangjiang Rohill, sat with his son Sean and looked at the TV screen intently. In attacking the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, Xiangjiang Luohill¡¯s parent company had already consumed all energy consumption funds last Friday due to funding problems. Therefore, Charles Lowhill¡¯s main job is to act as the family¡¯s eyes in Xiangjiang. Collect useful information at all times and report to the family in time. And such a big move by Global TV, Charles Rohill will not miss it. "...Although Xiangjiang is an international trading city, foreign currency transactions are very frequent, but for ordinary people or ordinary investors, foreign exchange trading is a very unfamiliar field." "But these days, because of the ups and downs of the Hong Kong foreign exchange market, major media are rushing to report. I believe many audience friends also know about the Hong Kong foreign exchange market." "Now, from a professional and overall perspective, we will let everyone know why we are fighting the Hong Kong dollar defense war. If we win or lose, what will happen!" "Professor Liu, please give us an explanation first." On the TV screen, after Xiao Mingyuan finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Liu Jinhui. The latter is not stage fright, and after picking up the microphone, he talks freely. "Now the Hong Kong dollar defense war is still going on, but before explaining the Hong Kong dollar defense war, everyone needs to know the background of the Hong Kong dollar defense war!" "I wonder if you remember the sudden stock market crash that just ended?" "Friends who are concerned about the news should know that the stock market crash that broke out before was man-made. There are more than 20 companies including the British Rothschild Investment Company, the British Cirber Ross Capital Management Company, the S¡¤G¡¤Warburg Company, and the Dutch Deep Sea Fund. Financial institutions are jealous of the wealth that Xiangjiang has accumulated over the past years. They tried to rob through Hong Kong stocks, but were strongly defeated by our local financial predators." "Now, the Hang Seng Index has surpassed 5,000 points, and every time the Hang Seng Index rises a little bit, this group of trapped institutions will lose more." "Although these institutions have been caught in the gambling contract, they held a huge amount of Hong Kong dollars because of the previous series of cash-outs. These Hong Kong dollars are their confidence to attack the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar." "They tried to destroy the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate system, thereby destroying the confidence of the people and investors in the Hong Kong dollar, destroying the entire financial system of Hong Kong, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying Hong Kong stocks again and finally looting the wealth of Hong Kong." "Hearing this, everyone should understand that the ongoing battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar is not only to defend the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate system, but also to protect the entire financial system of Hong Kong, and to protect the wealth of all the people of Hong Kong and those who invest in Hong Kong! " "The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Jiuding Bank, Hang Seng Bank and other institutions are fighting for all citizens!" "And today is the fiercest day of the battle, and it is also the day of the decisive battle. The future of Xiangjiang is tied to this battle!" When he said the last sentence, Liu Jinhui couldn''t help standing up, waving his fists forcefully with firm eyes and stern expression. Almost all the audience in front of the TV couldn''t help but feel tight, and many even prayed secretly. But there are exceptions. Take Charles Rohill and his son. Sean Rohill couldn''t help but said, "Father, can you really tell the winner today?" Charles Rohill frowned, but his eyes were still staring at the TV, and he said in a heavy tone: "Yesterday''s plan was so set. The original plan was a plan. The specifics depend on the implementation." "But now, it won''t work until it''s finished!" "As soon as he said these words, no one can retreat until the ammunition is finished. Whoever retreats will lose!" "The dominance of public opinion has been completely captured by them. Even if the battle is not over today, we still lose if we fail!" Sean Rohill was taken aback and understood the truth in an instant. He stared at Liu Jinhui on the TV screen and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, they used this method." Charles Rohill couldn''t help sighing: "The location of this live commentary is too critical, and only Xia Yu behind it can do this." "Now Xiangjiang has attracted the attention of the whole world." "If they hold the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, then from now on, in the eyes of global capital, HeungKong will be a stable and safe financial transaction center and a haven for capital rest." "Even if we want to attack Xiangjiang again, the difficulty will increase exponentially. UU Read www.uukahnshu.com and other organizations will carefully consider whether to participate." "And if they lose today, they may also fight a battle of public opinion, temporarily reverse black and white, or call the whole people to confront us, we may not be able to win the final victory." "No way, this is their home court, they have the strongest media power..." Thinking of the status quo of Xiangjiang, Sean Rohill was silent. This is the truth, and there is no explanation for the time being. Who made Xia Yu''s media empire so huge? "Notify the family. The enemy has spread the effects of the battle. Once we lose, all of our companies will be discredited." "If the enemy conducts large-scale malicious propaganda in Europe, all companies participating in the war will have the biggest investor trust crisis in history!" "If you are not careful, maybe some company will break the capital chain and close down..." "The back is completely turned into an abyss..." v3 Chapter 1466: The Hong Kong business community must be cleaned once "I believe that after listening to Professor Zhang''s explanation, everyone knows the importance of today''s battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar." "Then what everyone is most concerned about right now is undoubtedly the specific situation of the Hong Kong dollar defense war." "In this regard, I think Director Zhang will be more clear." "Now I have Director Zhang to give us an explanation." Xiao Mingyuan brought the topic from Liu Jinhui to Zhang Tianfeng, and smiled and handed the microphone to Zhang Tianfeng. The latter smiled and took the microphone: "Next, I will introduce the details of the battle to you from time to time." "Although I am on the TV station now, everyone has seen the Tianmo mobile phone in front of me, right? I will use this mobile phone to consult my colleagues at the Monetary Authority for real-time information." After speaking, Zhang Tianfeng pressed a series of numbers and was connected within a few seconds. "...As of 10:38 in the morning, statistics show that today''s US dollar and Hong Kong dollar transaction volume has reached 19.58 billion US dollars, and the transaction volume has reached a historical peak." After Zhang Tianfeng finished the call, he explained the situation. This data shocked the audience in front of the TV. And the audience can clearly see that the host Xiao Mingyuan and the guest Professor Liu Jinhui in the studio are also surprised. Xiao Mingyuan also knew that the audience in front of the TV would inevitably feel worried after hearing this data, so he asked: "Director Zhang, the enemy''s offensive is so fierce, I wonder if the Monetary Authority can withstand it?" Zhang Tianfeng smiled calmly and calmly: ¡°Of course it¡¯s okay. Just now, Jiuding Bank once again exchanged 20 billion U.S. dollars with the Monetary Authority. Other banks also supported a batch of U.S. dollars, so even the shorts traded 19.58 billion U.S. dollars. At present, the Monetary Authority still has more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves!" "Furthermore, the major local banks in Hong Kong are still trying their best to raise US dollars, so we have the confidence to resist the enemy''s attack!" "Pap, papa..." "Director Zhang''s remarks are too encouraging. I believe the audience in front of the TV can relax their minds." Xiao Mingyuan and Liu Jinhui couldn''t help applauding, and Xiao Mingyuan did not forget to remind the audience. ¡­ After that, the three of Xiao Mingyuan continued to chat around the topic of the Hong Kong dollar defense war, and every ten minutes, Zhang Tianshang introduced the battle situation, trying to keep the live broadcast as hot as possible. Until 1:23 in the afternoon! There are still a huge number of viewers waiting in front of the TV. The ratings in the background show that the ratings have reached 54.8%, and the audience share is 96.9%! It can be seen that the influence of this live broadcast has been completely spread. at this time! Zhang Tianfeng''s Tianmo mobile phone rang suddenly, and he immediately answered the call. The camera focused on his face, and his expression instantly became serious. He did not hang up, and while holding the phone, he opened the microphone and said, "Dear audience, now the battle is at its peak, and the enemy is launching the final attack." "In the foreign exchange market, a spot sell order of 15 billion Hong Kong dollars was placed...In just three seconds, we took out 2.46 billion U.S. dollars to eat up this huge contract!" "The enemy once again placed a spot sell order of 12 billion Hong Kong dollars..." "..." Following Zhang Tianfeng''s stern tone, the audience in front of the TV subconsciously held their breath, and a picture of the battle appeared in their minds. Of course, because many viewers have never traded foreign exchange at all, they can only imagine the scene of foreign exchange trading in a vacuum, but this does not affect their attention and anxiety in the slightest. One minute later. Zhang Tianfeng, who had been talking about the battle situation, suddenly fell silent. And this silent state has lasted for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute... Just when many viewers couldn''t help but panic. Zhang Tianfeng suddenly smiled. The audience''s hearts fell halfway in an instant, and they heard Zhang Tianfeng''s wild laugh: "One minute!" "There have been no selling orders for more than a minute. Now the market is full of our buying orders, and we have won! The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate remains strong! Hahaha..." For a while, cheers were heard everywhere in Xiangjiang, and even excited people took out firecrackers and rushed out the door. Almost the entire Xiangjiang became a sea of ??joy. The victors cheered, and the losers were destined to be overwhelmed. In the subsidiary of Xiangjiang Rothschild. Charles Rohill and Sean Rohill were silent. In the Xiangjiang branch of S.G. Warburg, Terrence Warburg was slumped on a stool, staring blankly at the ceiling, and on the ground was a mobile phone that had fallen from his hand. Lohill Family Castle, London, England. Evelyn Rohill, who stayed up all night and stayed at more than 6 a.m. London time, eyes full of bloodshot eyes, incompetent and furious, he smashed his beloved vase, sharp fragments spilled all over the floor, and there was a crisp crash. Many members of the family were awakened. Xiangjiang, a group of members of the Chaoshan Gang, panicked and called each other, intending to meet urgently to discuss strategies to deal with the crisis. ¡­ "Chairman, under your wise command, we once again won a brilliant victory!" Among the Jiuding Securities Company, Yuan Tianfan congratulated Xia Yu with a smile on his face. Xia Yu patted Yuan Tianfan on the shoulder and exhorted: "Tianfan, the Hong Kong dollar defense war has been won, and it''s time to reap the fruits of victory." "The contracts for short-selling and betting on Hong Kong stocks will expire one after another, leaving us with little time to operate. Give me all my strength to speculate on Hong Kong stocks and take off all the enemy''s panties!" "Yes, make sure to take off the enemy''s panties!" Yuan Tianfan promised with his head up and his chest upright. "All employees, in accordance with the instructions of the chairman, give me a complete freedom to speculate on Hong Kong stocks!" Then, Yuan Tianfan turned his head and shouted commands to all the traders in the operating room. "Yes!" There was an earth-shaking response in the operating room, and everyone was thrown into work as if they were beaten up. After leaving Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. satisfied, Xia Yu gave instructions to Huo Jianning, who was accompanying him: "Jianning, immediately summarize all the statistics of the Hong Kong dollar defense war, and try to give it to me today." "Okay." Huo Jianning finished, and after getting in the car, he immediately connected via mobile phone. ¡­ Until the forex market was closed at four o''clock in the afternoon, no HKD sell orders reappeared, and the Hong Kong dollar and US dollar markets were quiet, as if the shaking battles in the morning and noon had not occurred. At 4:42, Huo Jianning handed the statistical results to Xia Yu''s hands. From last Thursday to today, there are only three working days, plus two days on weekends, and only five days. In three working days, the trading volume of HeungKong foreign exchange market reached 62.37 billion U.S. dollars, with an average daily trading volume of 20.79 billion U.S. dollars. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority¡¯s US dollar foreign exchange reserves were 11.78 billion US dollars before Thursday. After today¡¯s battle is over, the US dollar foreign exchange reserves are 11.21 billion US dollars. Compared with the beginning, although a little less, it is still more than 10 billion US dollars, which is enough to ensure the financial security of Xiangjiang. Not to mention, the funds in Xia Yu¡¯s small vault are still huge, and if there are enemies coming out again, they will not be able to escape the fate of defeat... During the entire battle, Jiuding Bank alone took out 40 billion U.S. dollars, making Jiuding Bank additional 244 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds, and these funds were in Xia Yu''s secret account. In addition, other banks and financial institutions have also allocated 21.8 billion US dollars to support the Hong Kong dollar defense war. "Chairman, after the details of this battle are announced, I believe that Jiuding Bank''s reputation will be established all over the world. Within five days, it will spend 40 billion US dollars in funds. This is something that no other bank in the world can do. !" Seeing Xia Yu finished reading, Huo Jianning said with a smile. Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and told Huo Jianning: "You should schedule the propaganda, and the media resources of the entire consortium can be used arbitrarily." "Understood." Huo Jianning immediately responded and recorded it. "By the way, chairman, do you need to expose the people of the Chaoshan Gang?" After the memorization, Huo Jianning raised a question. Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly: "It''s not time yet, just exposing them would be too cheap for them. This time is a rare opportunity, and the business community of Xiangjiang must be cleaned up again." "These moths are not qualified to occupy so many resources of Xiangjiang..." v3 Chapter 1467: Kill the dog In the Xiangjiang branch of S.G. Warburg, Terrence Warburg frowned, sighing from time to time as he buried his head in the office calculating something. "Chairman, people from Jiuding Bank are here and want to see you." At this moment, a subordinate knocked on the door and came in and reported to him cautiously. Terrence Warburg paused with the pen in his hand, clenching his fist subconsciously. The comer is not good! The contract pair gambling period is up, they came with a knife! Looking down at the data he was calculating on the desktop, he felt terribly distressed. After raising his head, he pretended not to change his face, and slowly said to his subordinates: "Please come in, and call Romon over by the way." Romon Bill, is the president of the Xiangjiang branch of S.G. Warburg, a white man from Scotland. "Okay, Chairman, please wait a moment!" After speaking, the subordinate quickly left the office. Terrence Warburg took advantage of the arrival of the enemy, tidying up a bit, putting all the secret files in the drawer. soon. Romon Bill walked in, and after a greeting, Terrence Warburg signaled to sit down aside. After more than ten seconds, a series of footsteps came from far and near, and then the subordinates brought in two Chinese. For the first one, Romon Bill recognized that he was the manager of the securities investment department of Jiuding Bank, and he signed the gambling agreement with Yang Ming. "Manager Yang, hello!" "President Bill, long time no see!" "This is our chairman, Mr. Terrence Warburg." After Romon Bill shook hands with Yang Ming and greeted Yang Ming, the former introduced Terrence Warburg to Yang Ming. "Mr. Terrence Warburg, hello, I have heard our chairman say that you have come to Xiangjiang, and I am honored to know you!" Yang Ming looked at Terrence Warburg with a smile on his face and said, it''s just that his smile, in the eyes of Terrence Warburg, is as much as it deserves. "Manager Yang, hello! I am honored to know you too!" Terrence Warburg said with a smile. After the subordinate who led the way down, there were only four people in the office, and the two sat down face to face. Yang Ming took the initiative to provoke the topic, and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Warburg, Mr. Bill, we are here today to discuss the gambling contract with you." "This is the gambling agreement that your company signed with our bank three months ago. It has now expired. Please return the shares we lent you to us." As soon as Yang Ming finished speaking, his assistant handed over the documents that he had just taken out of the briefcase. This is the gambling agreement signed by S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company and Jiuding Bank, and the list of borrowed stocks. Among them, the one at the top of the list is the most valuable stock, with 147.5 million shares of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.! Under Yang Ming¡¯s gaze, Terrence Warburg¡¯s smile disappeared long ago. He stared at the document held in the air, but he didn¡¯t take it. Romon Bill knew it and reached out reluctantly. Took it. "Manager Yang, we will return the stocks borrowed from your bank, but please give us more time." "After all, there are too many stocks involved, and we are already accelerating the acquisition." Romon Bill did not look at the documents after receiving the documents, pressed on the table, and said with a smile. The atmosphere of the scene changed instantly! Yang Ming sneered in his heart and shook his head decisively and said: "Mr. Bill, I am sorry, we have to abide by the spirit of the contract. Before you asked us to bet, we decisively handed over the stock to you. Now that the time is up, you have to return it on time. ." "S¡¤G¡¤Huabao, as a world-class investment bank, has strong strength. It won''t even be able to acquire these stocks, right?" This slightly mocking tone made Romon Bill''s blood flow up, and Terrence Warburg, who was on the side, was even more angry. When was just a department manager of a bank, dare to ridicule him as a financial giant so blatantly! This is directly rubbing his big feet on his face, full of humiliation! "Manager Yang, the strength of our company is obvious to all around the world, you don''t need to question it." Terrence Warburg said with a cold snort. "Since Mr. Warburg is so confident, then return the stock to us!" Yang Ming shrugged slightly, stretched out a hand and said, staring at Terrence Warburg with scorching eyes. Terrence Warburg stared at Yang Ming with gloomy eyes, Yang Ming was not timid at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Before I came, I had a special understanding of the stock prices of these companies. The most typical one is the stock of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." "The share price of this stock half an hour ago was 97.48 Hong Kong dollars per share. If your company can acquire 147.5 million shares at this price, it will need to consume 14.378.3 million Hong Kong dollars." "This figure is 2,357,01 million U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars!" "Of course, the premise is that you can acquire such a huge stock without drastically raising the price, and there must be sellers willing to sell it." "As far as I know, the market''s expectations for this stock are very high. We are waiting for the stock price to rise to 100 Hong Kong dollars, witnessing Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. becoming the first company with a market value of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in history. The real estate company!" This series of words extremely stimulated Terrence Warburg''s nerves. He clenched his fist tightly, and the veins of his temple appeared. He had known for a long time that the stock of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. had already been sourced and was highly concentrated in the hands of the Jiuding Consortium. It was absolutely impossible for them to acquire so many stocks. These words of Yang Ming made it clear that their S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company could not perform the contract and would be dealt with in accordance with the breach of contract. However, according to the content of the agreement signed at the time, if S¡¤G¡¤Huabao cannot return enough stock as scheduled, the missing part will be compensated at 1.2 times the price based on the real-time stock price. It is based on real-time stock prices, not based on the value of stocks borrowed during gambling! And the handling fee for gambling has already been paid! Now this is compensation for breach of contract! "Don''t worry, we will act according to the agreement." Terrence Warburg opened his mouth with difficulty, and these words popped out between his teeth. Yang Ming smiled: "Since Mr. Warburg said so, then we can rest assured." "According to the agreement, after the expiration, your company has three days to perform the contract." "We won''t bother you two more." "By the way, I heard a piece of news, which may be useful to both of you. Recently, the Tiangang government has received some information that a group of criminals have entered Xiangjiang. Therefore, the airport and port of Xiangjiang will strengthen martial law these days." After all, Yang Ming swaggered away in the sight of Terrence Warburg and Romon Bill trying to eat people. "boom!" After Yang Ming''s footsteps were completely gone, the anger accumulated in Terrence Warburg''s heart was released like a volcanic eruption, and he slapped it heavily on the table with a loud noise. Romon Bill, who was also very angry at first, was taken aback. Instead, his anger disappeared. He looked at Terrence Warburg''s hand with concern. He suddenly realized that the director''s palm was already red. Just look at it. Feel pain. "Chairman, calm down!" Romon Bill said comfortingly. "How can I calm down?" "The first time! This is the first time that such a small manager dare to threaten me like this!" Terrence Warburg was full of anger. Yang Ming''s last remark was a reminder, but in fact it was a threat. He threatened that the airport and port were under control, and he could not run away! This is more disgusting than substantial! It is impossible for him to run, even if they return to the UK, they will have to fulfill these agreements, even if it involves astronomical amounts of money! After all, Xiangjiang is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom and is protected by British law. Even if S¡¤G¡¤Huabao has filed for bankruptcy, Jiuding Bank can give priority to dividing up the assets of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao as compensation. And he didn''t dare to breach the contract. Once he breached the contract, he would not only be punished by the law, but the century-old goodwill of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao would be destroyed in one go, and it would be 100% bankruptcy. If there is no breach of contract, huge losses may greatly cause S¡¤G Huabao to close down, but once the contract is breached, it will close 100%! So now, Terrence Warburg can only furious incompetently. In fact, he had decided in his heart to pay the money back within three days! Do not! The contract will be terminated immediately today to compensate Jiuding Bank. The stock price of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has been so high by them. It is only Tuesday today, and within three days, who knows how far it will be? If you drag it later, you will have to cut more meat. If the stock price rises by one Hong Kong dollar, you will have to pay an additional HKD 177 million! "Romon, immediately call the master to go to Jiuding Bank to end the contract as quickly as possible. I will handle the funds, go!" Terrence Warburg woke up from shock and immediately ordered Romon Bill. "Yes!" Romon Bill also knew the seriousness of the matter, and UU read www.ukahnshu.com decisively responded, and then got up and ran outside the door. Today, similar scenes are happening in many places. Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities, Jiuding Insurance Group, Hang Seng Bank, Sun Hung Kai Securities, and a series of companies have all sent multiple teams to the short companies that were gambling before. Of course, the people of the Chaoshan Gang did not dare to start the gambling against the Jiuding Consortium when they were gambling. These organizations are also vying to find the companies of the Chaoshan Gang to demand performance. For a time, there was a wailing voice in the Chaoshan Gang. And it was the same day. In Xiangjiang and many non-Jiuding banks in Southeast Asia, the presidents of the major banks were receiving a group of special guests, and they all completed secret cooperation in a short period of time. Behind these actions is a page of paper in Xia Yu''s drawer, with four words on the book-Killing the Dog Action! v3 Chapter 1468: I was sold when I changed hands! HeungKong Asian Commercial Bank is a medium-sized Chinese-funded bank in HeungKong. It was founded by Thailand''s tycoon Chen Bichen, and was later operated by his eldest son Chen Youqing in 1965. For more than two decades, Chen Youqing has managed banking business in an orderly manner. Although a few years ago, because of the rise of Xia Yu, the structure of the banking sector in Heung Kong has undergone major changes. However, after careful consideration, Chen Youqing chose to cooperate with Jiuding Bank. In this way, the development momentum has not weakened, but has developed more rapidly. "Chairman, Mr. Li from the Cheung Kong Group is here." At around four o''clock in the afternoon on Tuesday, the subordinate walked into Chen Youqing''s office and reported to him. A glint flashed in his eyes as he was reviewing the document, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help raising slightly, and he secretly said good luck. In the morning, Jiuding Bank sent someone over to talk to him secretly. At that time, it was only that people from the Chaoshan Gang might come to the door. I didn¡¯t expect that in the afternoon it was Li Chaoren, one of the leaders of the Chaoshan Gang. ) I came here, and I came here directly without making an appointment. "Invite him to my office." Chen Youqing raised his head and said lightly. "OK." Subordinates should finish and leave quickly. After a while, the subordinates walked in with Li Chaoren, and Chen Youqing was surprised that Li Chaoren came by himself. "Mr. Li, welcome, please sit down!" "Mr. Chen, come here uninvited, excuse me!" "No interruption, Mr. Li is able to come to me, but it is an honor for Chen, haha..." After a brief greeting, the two of them took their seats one after another, and their subordinates immediately made tea. After making tea, they left the office after Chen Youqing waved. "Mr. Li, are you so interested in coming to me today?" After taking a sip of tea, Chen Youqing asked curiously. Li Chaoren shook his head with emotion, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are the God of Wealth, and I am a businessman, isn''t this asking you for some funding." "In fact, it is like this. My company has made a relatively large expansion in recent times. Not only has several properties in Xiangjiang started at the same time, but it is also carrying out a major strategy in the UK." "Although I still have a lot of real estate and properties in my hands, the commercial real estate in Hong Kong is still booming. Therefore, I chose to hold many properties that I originally planned to sell for long-term rent collection." "So much that I lack some development funds, so I want to come to you to borrow some money." Some words, it is called a sincere, contagious. If it hadn¡¯t been for the information of Li Chaoren¡¯s foreign powers and talents from the population of Jiuding Bank in the morning, he would have almost believed it! But well. Li Chaoren wanted to take a loan, which was exactly what he wanted. Anyway, the ultimate risk does not need to be borne by Xiangjiang Asian Commercial Bank. As long as Li Chaoren dares to speak, he dare to lend out more, provided that Li Chaoren takes out enough collateral! therefore. Chen Youqing proudly said: "Mr. Li, you are our bank''s favorite high-quality customer. Since you are willing to cooperate with me, it is worthy of my Chen, how much you need to borrow, just say!" "As long as it''s not beyond my ability, it''s okay!" Li Chaoren thanked him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, thank you so much." "I want to borrow 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, including 300 million Hong Kong dollars in the name of Cheung Kong Holdings, and 700 million Hong Kong dollars in the name of my family trust company." One billion Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount, it is worthy of careful consideration. So after Chen Youqing condensed his eyebrows for a while, he gritted his teeth and solemnly said to Li Chaoren, "Mr. Li, although the billion Hong Kong dollars is a huge amount, our bank can still get it." "It''s just that you need to provide enough mortgage assets." "Of course, it should be." "I just hope that Mr. Chen can give me a higher pledge rate. After all, you also know that my assets are all high-quality assets." Li Chaoren smiled and nodded back. "no problem!" "I don''t know what Mr. Li wants to pledge?" Chen Youqing personally added tea to Superman Li and asked with a smile. "The loan from the Cheung Kong Group will be mortgaged with the company''s property, while the loan from our family trust company will be mortgaged with the shares of the Cheung Kong Group." After Li Chaoren finished, he stared at Chen Youqing. After Chen Youqing pondered for a moment, he emphasized: "Mr. Li, Cheung Kong Group wants a 300 million loan. If you take the property mortgage, I can give you a 20% pledge rate." "But for the other 700 million loans, you also know that the stock pledge rate is between 30% and 50%. Although Cheung Kong Holdings is a high-quality company, the stock price of Cheung Kong Holdings has plummeted some time ago, and the market risk is relatively high." "But since Mr. Li has spoken, I naturally want to save face, so I can give you a 50% pledge rate!" 50% off! The pledge rate is indeed not low, but Li Chaoren is not satisfied and wants to be higher. There is no way, it is because his financial pressure is too great. Even if he invested in the Roshill family before, transferred 20% of the equity of the Yangtze River Industrial Group to the Roshill family, and cashed out a large sum of money. But in this short-selling Hong Kong stocks, he did not have time to buy the bottom, so that the Hong Kong stock market rushed to the historical peak time after time, making him still as high as 3.47 billion Hong Kong dollars after the end of the gambling contract in the morning! Within three days, after removing the principal he originally had, he must raise 3.47 billion Hong Kong dollars again. "Mr. Chen, a 50% discount is too low. As you know, Cheung Kong Group is a large-scale real estate conglomerate in Xiangjiang. I think it is more appropriate to give a 60% discount." Li Chaoren once again smiled and fought for it. "The risk of a six to five percent discount is too high, and I have to be responsible for the shareholders, but since Mr. Li has spoken, then I will add some more, a 50 percent discount." "..." After Li Chaoren spent a lot of talking, Chen Youqing finally "reluctantly" agreed to a 40% pledge rate. Subsequently, Chen Youqing asked someone to draw up the contract, and Li Chaoren also took advantage of this time to call his personal lawyer. After more than an hour, the two loan agreements were signed. Needless to say, Cheung Kong''s 300 million loan. The 700 million Hong Kong dollar loan of Li Chaoren¡¯s family trust company, according to Cheung Kong Group¡¯s current share price of 8.85 Hong Kong dollars per share and a market value of 12.83 billion Hong Kong dollars, is collateralized by 131.82 million shares, occupying the total share capital of Cheung Kong Group. 9.09% of it! After the signing of the loan agreement, Chen Youqing immediately credited 500 million Hong Kong dollars to the account designated by Li Chaoren, and promised that another 500 million Hong Kong dollars would be credited before the end of work the next afternoon. After confirming the receipt of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, Li Chaoren hurriedly left after thanking Chen Youqing. He will find a way to temporarily misappropriate the 300 million Hong Kong dollars of the Cheung Kong Holdings Group''s loan, so that 1 billion Hong Kong dollars has been resolved, and the funding gap is still 2.47 billion Hong Kong dollars! The funding gap is still large! What Li Chaoren didn''t know was. Just after he left Heung Kong Asian Commercial Bank. Chen Youqing immediately called Liu Tianci of Jiuding Bank. The result is that night. These two loan agreements, Hong Kong Asian Commercial Bank, have not yet covered their heat. Chen Youqing transferred his secret to Jiuding Bank, earning three points of commission and a profit of 30 million Hong Kong dollars! This money, what you earn is called a happy one! As a creditor, HeungKong Asian Commercial Bank, in accordance with HeungKong''s laws, can transfer the creditor''s rights of the loan without the consent of the debtor. And it''s legal on a global scale! v3 Chapter 1469: The Lohill familys huge loss The night of the night was frighteningly cold. Amidst the Victorian Mountain Villas, the Li Family Mansion, and Li Chaoren''s study, there is a cloud of smoke. Li Chaoren once said that smoking is helping others waste their lives and money, so he never smokes. But this time, his career has encountered the biggest crisis. If he can talk to outsiders, he can only hide in the study and smoke with his son to keep his brain calm. "Dad, how much money did you raise here?" Li Zekai looked tired and asked his father hopefully. Li Chaoren was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "Among them, 500 million was borrowed in the name of Cheung Kong Group, and the remaining 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars was mortgaged for the Cheung Kong Group''s stock loans in the name of a family fund." For a loan of 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, Li Chaoren got it from four banks. He didn''t want to find so many banks, but there was no way. He could only find a Chinese bank if he wanted to make a payment as soon as possible. It is impossible for a foreign bank. Loan him so quickly, the mortgage rate will not be very high. There are four large-scale Chinese banks in Hong Kong, namely Jiuding Bank, Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia, and Bank of China Xiangjiang. The others are medium-sized banks. The Heung Kong Asian Commercial Bank he first looked for was among the most advanced among medium-sized Chinese banks. Only with its strong strength could it come out with a lump sum of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity. Other medium-sized banks have almost no such strength! What''s more, he participated in the short-selling gambling this time and also found some banks. It is impossible for these banks to lend him, which also made him a lot less choices. Li Zekai asked again with concern: "Dad, how much equity do you take to mortgage?" "The collateralized 244.81 million shares, 16.88% of the equity." "Now the unsecured equity held by the family fund is only 17.91%." After Li Chaoren finished speaking, he couldn''t help sighing. Only 16.88% of the Cheung Kong Group''s equity was loaned to 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. So even if the remaining 17.91% of the equity is taken out as mortgage, according to the pledge rate of the highest 40%, it can only be loaned 1.38 billion Hong Kong dollars. Equivalent to the 34.79% equity of the Cheung Kong Group held by the Li family, the ceiling can only be mortgaged to 2.68 billion Hong Kong dollars. After all the funds he recovered from the short sale and the original liquid funds were compensated, there was a funding gap of 3.47 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is precisely because of this that he had to take the risk and use the Cheung Kong Group to mortgage loans in the name of the Cheung Kong Group to make the idea of ??collective funds for the Cheung Kong Group''s companies. "Dad, what is the attitude of the Rothschild family?" Li Zekai took a big puff of smoke and spit out the smoke ring, then slowly said. Hearing this family, Li Chaoren couldn''t help but violent veins, and said angrily: "Don''t tell me about the Rohill family, they won''t be saved at all!" "I called Evelyn Rohill, he evaded the current funding constraints and asked me to wait for a week." "I went to Barclays Bank in Hong Kong, but I couldn''t get the loan!" "Hey... I got on the thief ship, blame me for overestimating their strength." "This is the sixth empire, heh..." Li Zekai shook his head and analyzed: "It seems that their losses are heavier than ours. Ten times the amount is possible." "But I don''t believe that they will have no money in their hands. They must keep the funds to protect themselves. With Xia Yu''s past methods, he will not fail to chase after the victory." "At the beginning of his rise, he was good at using the advantage of public opinion to attack the enemy, and the Rohill family must also be very clear." Xia Yu''s past and his huge media empire appeared in his mind, and Superman Li was speechless. "I hope he didn''t realize that we were involved..." Li Chaoren said quietly, but his tone didn''t sound so powerful. "Definitely can''t find it!" Li Zekai said heavily, not knowing whether he really thought so, or just comforting himself. After the voice fell, the study fell into silence for two minutes. Later, after Li Chaoren extinguished a cigarette, he said, "You should stabilize the banks and institutions. The contracts have been signed. You will pay them in batches over the past two days. Don''t make them suspicious. " "I will think of a solution for the funding issue." Even if his securities company has suffered serious losses, but the funds are still there, some funds are temporarily cleaned up, some funds are recovered, and the holes are filled in later. "Good dad..." ... Let''s talk about the European Rohill family''s side, which is also full of sorrows. Evelyn Lowhill, Leopold Lowhill, David Lowhill, Liszt Lowhill, Elro Lowhill, Harry Lowhill, Sidney Roshir All the responsible persons from all walks of life in Europe, including Er, rushed to the family manor in Britain. The meeting was chaired by the family head Jacob Lowhill. "Dear brothers, first of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up the matter. This time the family has encountered a crisis, and I have to bear the most responsibility." Evelyn Rohill was very bachelor, and stood up to apologize to everyone. "Evelyn, you sit down first. I agree to this plan. You don''t need to take the responsibility on yourself." "To call everyone a meeting today is not to blame you, but to get through this crisis properly." As the head of the family, Jacob Lowhill directly emphasized the theme of this meeting and did not want to waste unnecessary time. Glancing at Jacob Roshir, Evelyn Roshir lowered his head slightly and sat back in position. "Evelyn, it''s up to you to explain the situation to everyone so that everyone can understand the situation." After he took his seat, Jacob Rohill immediately ordered. "Okay, let me tell you about the situation." "There are two stages to attack Hong Kong, namely, short-selling Hong Kong stocks and attacking Hong Kong dollar foreign exchange. The second stage occurred because we failed in the first stage and had to attack Hong Kong stocks again to try to reverse the market." "During the entire process of short-selling Hong Kong stocks, our family signed a total of 61.18 billion Hong Kong dollars in stock gambling agreements. These 61.18 billion Hong Kong dollars of stocks were sold at different stages and 58.65 billion Hong Kong dollars were recovered." "But after our failure, the Hong Kong stocks were manipulated by the bulls, so that we could not acquire the stocks at all, and could only compensate at 1.2 times the real-time stock price for breach of contract." "All compensations add up to 107.54 billion Hong Kong dollars." "In addition to the consumption during the entire plan implementation process, our total loss in the end is..." Speaking of this Evelyn Lowe Hilton took a moment, and when everyone was looking at him, he said sadly: "52,532,84 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 8,611,440,000 U.S. dollars... " Hearing this series of numbers, everyone remained silent for a long time. This loss is too high! This money is certainly not all in the pockets of the bulls, but most of them are definitely. As for how the bulls are divided internally, they are not interested. They only know that the loss of $8.611.94 million means that the family is really in crisis. With so much capital at once, even if the family made more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in short international crude oil futures before, it is still under great pressure. After all, although they had made more than 10 billion U.S. dollars before, they were not so stupid as to hold them in their hands. They had already put them out for investment. How could it be possible to get them back within a few days? The compensation of $8.611.94 million must be paid back in these two days. "This loss is too big..." David Rohill of France sighed. "It really exceeded our expectations. It has not been such a serious loss for a long time." Switzerland''s Harry Rohill couldn''t help complaining. Evelyn Rohill can only apologize one after another for this. Jacob Rosill knocked on the table and interrupted everyone''s emotional catharsis: "Well, there are so many losses. Now we have a meeting for two purposes." "The first one, raise funds together to plug this hole." "Second, take defensive measures, our enemy will definitely fight back, and it will never last long!" "There is not much time left for us..." https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1470: Harvest! Days of profit! "It''s okay to say that this fund has lost 8.6 billion U.S. dollars, but with the strength of our family, it can still be obtained." "I am now worried about the enemy''s counterattack. This time the attack on Xiangjiang was very serious. We ended in failure in both battles. This is a big blow to our family and company!" Liszt Rohill couldn''t help but say. He is the head of the Rohill family in Austria and the chairman of the Austrian Central Cooperative Bank, the largest bank in Austria. So for him, it is definitely impossible to spend $8.6 billion at a time, but it is definitely not a problem to share a quarter of the pressure for the family. "That''s it. After all, our enemy is the Jiuding Consortium. The Jiuding Consortium itself has a huge media force. In the UK, the Bright Fund and the Jiuding Consortium are allies. With the influence of the Bright Fund in the media field in the UK and Europe, we need to The risk is great!" Jacob Rohill nodded and said solemnly. When the others heard the words, their hearts became heavier. They all know that they hold the Bright Fund of the Mirror Group, the Financial Times Group and the Daily Telegraph Company, but they are properly the number one media hegemon in Europe, and they are all leaders in the world. If the Bright Fund is also in trouble, then... "It seems that we have to do everything we can to raise funds, otherwise if our capital chain goes wrong, our old opponents will not miss the opportunity!" Harry Rosier of Switzerland shook his head and said helplessly . "Harry is right. We have to dispose of some less important assets as soon as possible and gather enough funds. It is more difficult to rely on other people. After all, this time it is not only our family who has suffered heavy losses." David of France Roshir nodded deeply. "By the way, how about the losses of other institutions?" David Lowhill suddenly looked at Jacob Lowhill and asked curiously. Others also focused on Jacob Rohill. Regarding this matter, Jacob Roshir is certainly not as clear as Evelyn Roshir, the former can only look at the latter. Evelyn Lowhill thought for a long time and said: "Our own losses have only been calculated urgently, and the other institutions are still unclear for the time being." "But based on their previous operations, it can probably be estimated." "The combined losses of Cerberos Capital, Long Ao Asset Management, and G¡¤S¡¤Huabao are likely to exceed 40 billion U.S. dollars, or even close to 50 billion U.S. dollars!" "It is still necessary for these institutions, like us, to take the initiative to compensate for the breach of some gambling agreements that have not yet expired. Otherwise, with the current situation in which the Hong Kong stocks are completely controlled by the bulls, it will be even more terrifying to lose money afterwards!" Elro Roshir couldn''t help saying: "Adding to our losses, the total loss is more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, close to 60 billion U.S. dollars, tusk!" "On average, each institution loses two to three billion U.S. dollars. This is definitely a huge economic blow to the entire European capital community!" "As for the prestige and loss of goodwill of various institutions, it is even more inestimable!" Leopold Rosier spread his hands and said: "That''s why it is said that this time, it is not only our family that needs financial support. We should not send too many hopes for how much external financial support we can get. The key is to rely on ourselves." "Everyone is right, but I have a suggestion!" At this moment, David Rohill said suddenly. "David, you say." Under the gaze of everyone, David Lowhill slowly said: "This time, we are not the only ones with serious losses. Even if there is a crisis of public opinion, more than two dozen organizations will have a share." "But we don''t know whom the enemy will deliberately target!" "Whether it is to diversify the risk immediately or to restore the company''s goodwill in the future, we must strengthen the control of the power of the media!" "Although we paid much attention to this aspect before and created our own media mouthpiece, now we are too conservative when compared with others." "Although it takes a lot of money to acquire a media company, I think it is definitely worthwhile to help us." "I agree with David." "I agree!" "agree!" ... The Rothschild family and the more than 20 European institutions are all thinking about coping with the crisis brought about by huge losses. On Xia Yu''s side, the people below were eager to count the gains. And he is receiving Liu Zhihe, the place to visit. "Director Liu, the enemy has been repulsed, and the idea of ??hitting the "Statement" in the British political arena is no longer helpful. Without capital support, those few politicians will not be able to make waves. I suggest that we can increase our efforts to solve this problem thoroughly. , Plus supplementary clauses, try to avoid such things from happening again." Liu Zhihe smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I will pass on your suggestions. I believe the above will definitely be studied and referenced." "Mr. Xia, thanks to you this time, under your leadership, you have played the style of a Chinese entrepreneur." Xia Yu smiled indifferently: "The main reason is that everyone is united. We Chinese people are united without fear of anyone. It was like this hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was like this a few decades ago, and it is still like this now!" "As long as the vast majority of people can unite, we can do anything." Liu Zhihe''s eyes flickered, and he heard Xia Yu''s subtext. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xia is right. We have united most talents to make it to this day. For a very small number of counter-revolutionary scum, we will either immediately liquidate or remember that there will be no good results anyway." "Ha ha¡­¡­" Xia Yu laughed haha. at this time. "Chairman." Huo Jianning suddenly knocked and walked in. After seeing Liu Zhihe still there, he nodded with a smile, and left when he wanted to put down the file. But Liu Zhihe took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, it''s getting late, so I won''t bother too much. I have to go back and report to Xia Yu as soon as possible." Xia Yu got up and smiled: "Don''t you sit down for a while?" "No, I''ll bother you next time!" Liu Zhihe smiled and waved his hand. "Hey, it won''t be disturbing, you are welcome to come and sit often." Xia Yu said with a slight stern face. "sure!" "Mr. Xia, you don''t need to send it, I can go out by myself." It was Liu Zhihe who said so, Xia Yu still sent him out of the office door, and only then returned to the office after watching him into the elevator. "Jianning, did the result come out?" "The statistics have come out, Chairman, this time under your wise command, we have won another big victory, and the results have been remarkable!" "Do you see it in person or do I listen to you in the next year?" Huo Jianning said excitedly. "Read it." Xia Yu said, sitting on the sofa, closing his eyes and resting, but his ears were still sensitive. "OK." "This time doing long Hong Kong stocks, all the gambling agreements, regardless of whether they expire or not, the gambling party ended the gambling by default, and the enemy surrendered!" "At present, the compensation received by the participating companies under our entire consortium plus stock lending interest, etc., has a total profit of 166.532.19 million Hong Kong dollars." "In addition, because the Hang Seng Index has surpassed 7,000 points, the total market value of Hong Kong stocks has surpassed the scale of HK$3 trillion." "And we mainly concentrated on cashing out at a high level of around 4,000 points, and then buying bottoms between the Hang Seng Index from more than 1,600 points to 2,000 points. Because the amount of cash out is lower than the funds used for bottom hunting, we did not calculate the actual profit, but based on the floating profit statistics. " "As of today''s closing stock price, the floating profit is as high as 472.8 billion Hong Kong dollars." "Of course, this floating profit refers only to the floating profit of these stocks that we have been buying bottoms later." "As for the stocks of the various companies that we originally held, as well as the equity of the listed companies within our consortium, they have also risen in value due to the surge in the entire market." "For example, Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has a market value of over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. This alone has increased the wealth of the consortium by more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars." "If you count these..." "Okay, okay, there is no need for the companies of the consortium to say. The equity of these companies cannot be sold. No matter how much it is calculated, it is only a number. It can only listen to it, and it has no real meaning." Xia Yutan smiled and said. He waved his hand and interrupted Huo Jianning''s report. Huo Jianning didn''t feel embarrassed either, and ended the report with a smile: "That''s it The profit in hand, including the floating profit, is currently 639371.32 million Hong Kong dollars." 63,937,132 million Hong Kong dollars! According to the 6.1:1 Hong Kong dollar to US dollar exchange rate, the equivalent to US dollars is 104.814.97 million US dollars! This is undoubtedly a huge amount of profit! They are all comparable to Xia Yu''s long-term short international crude oil futures earnings. Good harvest! But Xia Yu was also very sober. He knows that short losses are definitely not so much. Floating profits should include the losses of investors who previously sold stocks. After all, the stock market is not a zero-sum game, and losses and profits cannot be equal. Now that the calculation is so high, it''s just that the data looks good. The floating profit of 472.839.13 million Hong Kong dollars will not really be able to get so much. After all, the Hang Seng Index of the entire market has been speculated by him at 7,000 points. The key to the speculation is that the entire Hong Kong stock market has very few outstanding shares, and most of them are concentrated in the hands of him and other long allies. As he and his allies gradually cash out the stock, the market will definitely fall, and his floating profit will also decline. In addition, many of the stocks themselves have been lent out or cashed out at high positions. It is impossible for the stocks of the core companies of these consortiums to be released all this time, only a part of them will be released for circulation. If the stocks are not sold, no matter how much floating profit is, it will be a floating cloud! Therefore, in Xia Yu''s estimate, this floating profit of 472.8 billion 39.13 million Hong Kong dollars can finally be converted into actual income, which is estimated to be between 250 billion Hong Kong dollars and 300 billion Hong Kong dollars! Rao is so, and it is definitely not low! https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1471: Break into their turf! "The results are good, and everyone has really worked hard during this period, especially you, Jianning, worthy of praise!" Xia Yu smiled satisfied and said to Huo Jianning. Huo Jianning shook his head humbly: "Chairman, I don''t work hard, you work hard. You have to keep the overall situation in check, and you have to go deep into the front line to supervise the battle." "Ha ha¡­" "Okay, let''s get back to the subject, to what extent have the plans for those people in the Chaoshan Gang progressed?" After Xia Yu laughed, he asked about another thing. Mentioning this incident, Huo Jianning''s face once again showed a bright smile. He smiled and reported on the progress: "Chairman, the Chaoshan Gang has suffered heavy losses this time in the air, so the progress of the matter is the same as the plan you made, and it went smoothly." "However, the specific results have not been compiled yet, and Liu Tianci should have a better understanding of the situation." Xia Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding that Jiuding Bank is indeed the chief executive behind this plan. He gave instructions to Huo Jianning: "Call Liu Tianci and ask him to come as soon as possible with the results." "I''ll go to the bathroom first." "Okay." Huo Jianning answered, got up and walked to the desk, ready to call Liu Tianci using the landline in Xia Yu''s office. After a while, Xia Yu came out of the bathroom. Huo Jianning just finished the call and reported to Xia Yu. "Chairman, Liu Tianci said that he will make statistics right away, and he will come over later, let you wait a while." "That''s OK." Xia Yu nodded slightly, thinking for a moment and then instructed him, "Just remember, I''ll tell you something." "Okay." Huo Jianning finished answering, and immediately took out a pen and small notebook from the inner pocket of his clothes. "First, for the profits of this operation, the executive company will leave two layers, and all the remaining eight layers of profits will be turned in and transferred to my designated account." Xia Yu said and gave the first instruction. After seeing Huo Jianning¡¯s memorization, he continued, ¡°Secondly, convene a meeting with the responsible persons of the companies involved tonight, and let them each make a high-level cash-out plan, and discuss it at the conference in the evening. The purpose is to develop a balanced plan. Benefits and benefits cash-out plan." "third¡­" ¡­ Xia Yu spent ten minutes communicating with Huo Jianning about the details of the instructions, and then in the office, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and others communicated on the phone, while Huo Jianning contacted the relevant person in charge and conveyed Xia Yu''s order. Nearly fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside. "Tuk Tuk!" "Come in!" As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, the door opened, revealing Liu Tianci''s figure. Xia Yu suddenly smiled and greeted him to come in: "God''s gift, you are here, come and sit." "Chairman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." Liu Tianci said apologetically, and smiled and nodded to Huo Jianning by the way. "It doesn''t take long, it doesn''t matter if you get things done later," Xia Yu said with a smile. "The statistics have been calculated, please take a look." Liu Tianci said, took out the results just sorted out from the bag, and handed them to Xia Yu. "There are tea and fruit on the table, do it yourself, I''ll take a look first." After Xia Yu said this, he ignored Liu Tianci and began to read it. The plan for the Chaoshan Gang is actually very simple. It is to allow Jiuding Bank to connect with other banks and institutions, reach an agreement with them, and take over the loan agreements between various banks and institutions and the member companies of the Chaoshan Gang. Twenty-five members of the Chaoshan Gang all participated in the plan to short Xiangjiang and became running dogs of European capital. So these twenty-five members were all on Xia Yu''s hunting list, and none of them were left. Cheung Kong Holdings, New World Development, Great Eagle Group, Lai Sun Group, Liao Chong Hing Bank, Emperor Group and other companies are all prey! The situation is just as Xia Yu expected. Faced with huge losses, these people are trying to cover their covers instead of applying for bankruptcy. So each put out assets to mortgage loans. These assets can be described as diverse, including yachts, luxury homes, real estate, etc., of course, the largest is the equity of various companies. These equity, no matter which bank it was mortgaged in, eventually went to Jiuding Bank. For example, the 34.79% equity of the Yangtze River Industrial Group taken out by the Li family was all in the hands of Jiuding Bank together with the loan contract. 36.18% equity of New World Development Corporation, 40.24% equity of Great Eagle Group, 37.38% equity of Lai Sun Group, 43.25% equity of Emperor Group... The only exception is the Liao Chongxing Bank of the Liao family, which did not take out equity to mortgage loans, because of the special nature of its company, Liao Liewen was destined to dare not take bank equity to mortgage loans. Once Liao Liewen took out the equity of Liao Chongxing Bank to mortgage, it was obvious that there was a problem with the capital chain of Liao Chongxing Bank, so that it had to go to this point. Then Liao Chong Hing Bank will be greeted by a bank credit crisis, and a run on depositors will definitely occur. Liao Liewen did not mortgage the equity of Liao Chongxing Bank because he used most of the bank''s own money in this short sale. So now Liao Chongxing Bank has a huge hole, and he is trying to hide it. "The results are good. It seems that the traitors of the Chaoshan Gang have tried their best to walk the tightrope with all their strength, haha!" After Xia Yu put down the statistics file, he smiled and said mockingly. "Yes!" Liu Tianci nodded deeply, and looked at Xia Yu with expectation. "Chairman, in fact, your plan has been 99% successful, and the remaining 1% depends on when you decide to do it." In the previous bargains, they conducted large-scale bargains on the equity of these companies. The stocks that these people had cashed out at high positions before, and the stocks sold by other investors, were basically secretly eaten by the Jiuding Consortium. For example, the securities investment department of Jiuding Bank, which he ran, bought no more than 5% of the equity of many companies. As far as he knows, the total equity held by the various mobile companies of the entire consortium is mostly around 20 to 30%, and even more than 40%. Now Jiuding Bank holds the pledged equity of these companies. Once Xia Yu made a decision, the stock prices of these companies fell into an avalanche. Then, with the pledged equity and loan contracts taken over by Jiuding Bank, UU Kanshu can justify the Chaoshan Gang and force them to replenish the pledge, otherwise they can force their positions to be liquidated or debt-to-equity swaps. Anyway, the result is the same, these equity can be eaten down. This is why Liu Tianci dare to say that the plan was 99% successful. However, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head in response to Liu Tianci''s question: "Don''t worry for now, the duck is already in your mouth. There are still some risks when you can eat it right now. After all, 99% success is not 100%! " "The Chaoshan Gang has no capital to resist. It doesn''t mean that the European guys have no capital and cannot let them have the courage to reach out for rescue." "One more thing, we still hold a large amount of equity, with a floating profit of more than 400 billion Hong Kong dollars, and now finally the Hang Seng Index has risen to 7,000 points, destroying the Cheung Kong Industrial Group and New World Development companies. Hong Kong stocks will definitely Severely affected, is it not me who has suffered the most?" Liu Tianci said hurriedly: "You are right, it''s because I didn''t think about it well." "By the way, Chairman, are you planning to retaliate against the bears who attacked before?" Xia Yu picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and said slowly, "Retaliation is certain, but not all." He glanced over Liu Tianci and Huo Jianning, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his gaze became deep, and he continued: "Retaliation is at best harming others, and the ultimate goal of doing business is to benefit yourself." "Now these capital giants in Europe have suffered heavy losses. This is an excellent opportunity." "The old saying goes well, it''s not impolite to come and go!" "Ha ha!" "They attacked my lair with all their strength before, now it''s our turn to break into their turf!" https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1472: Peculiar assault weapon "Chairman, what should we do?" Huo Jianning and Liu Tianci were motivated by Xia Yu''s words, and Huo Jianning asked actively. Xia Yu smiled indifferently: "Don''t worry about this. I already have an idea about the general direction of the overall plan. It will be perfected in these two days, and you will be busy at that time." "For now, just act according to the previous plan. Whether the completion effect is good or not will also affect the difficulty of the subsequent plan operation." Huo Jianning nodded his head: "I understand." Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci again and smiled and said, "God, your tasks are more specialized, continue to expand steadily, and keep the bank with sufficient cash flow at all times." "Understand!" Liu Tianci nodded in response. ¡­ In the next two days, Xia Yu worked with allies to formulate a prudent cash-out plan and proceeded to implement it. As for the offensive of these enemies, it has already been played out. As long as Xia Yu''s media empire can cover, there will be negative news from Rothschild Investment Bank, S.G. Warburg, and British Golden Forest Assets. Especially the old nest of these companies in Europe! Negative news is overwhelmingly instilled in readers. The purpose is very clear, is to give these companies the most powerful blow, shake the confidence of investors in these companies! These companies have competitors, and the owners behind these companies also have enemies. With the exception of Xia Yu''s media empire, these people all fell into trouble with a tacit understanding. The capital¡¯s cake is so big. If you can kill a group of big crocodiles at one time, or make a group of crocodiles flee, the meat spit out by these crocodiles will benefit everyone! As for how much to benefit, it''s up to their own abilities! therefore. Negative public opinion about these companies can be said to be endless. Not only are the investors of these companies dumbfounded, but Evelyn Rohill and others who were mentally prepared are also dumbfounded by the turbulent offensive. "Evelyn, I need your help!" Because S.G. Warburg has already paid back all the compensation, Terrence Warburg will naturally no longer be restricted from leaving the country. As soon as he paid off the money, he boarded the plane to London, and after returning home, he began to defend and protect himself without thinking. But in the face of the turbulent public opinion offensive, Terrence Warburg, who had a guilty conscience, couldn''t stand up to the chase and interception of reporters downstairs with long guns and short cannons. Facing the sharp questions from the reporters, any of his explanations seemed pale and weak, because S¡¤G¡¤Huabao was indeed extremely tight on funds! Evelyn Rohill felt pity for the same sickness when he looked at his friends with a messy beard. He said comfortingly: "Terrence, you sit down first, have a cup of coffee to calm your mood, let''s have a good chat." Terrence Warburg opened his mouth to refuse, but in the end it turned into a long sigh, nodded somewhat sullenly, and sat down on the sofa. Even if the sofa made of lion skin is still soft and comfortable, Terrence Warburg feels like sitting on pins and needles. "Guru~" "Huh..." After the piping hot coffee was brewed, Terrence Warburg was not in the mood to savor it, and took a small sip, but his tongue and mouth twitched so hot that he could only exhale with grinning teeth. Seeing this scene, Evelyn Rohill also knew that his friend was really not in the mood to chat with him. So he put down the cup he had just raised, put his hands on his knees, and asked with concern: "Terrence, I ask you, how much money has your company lost?" Evelyn Rohill is his most iron ally, so this Terrence Warburg is holding on to the data that he dared not let the outside world know, but he said it very easily. It''s just that when he said this data, his face was very bitter. "Losed $4.4665.53 million!" "Evelyn, this loss can be said to be the largest loss in the history of S.G. Warburg. Our company''s capital flow will soon be cut off!" "Nowadays, the negative public opinion is overwhelming. I have received many calls from major investors asking the truth about my affairs. I can only lie to them." "But you know, they are not stupid pigs. My lie will not last long." "The only thing that can deal with the crisis is enough money!" Evelyn Lowhill sympathizes with Terrence Warburg''s situation. But the life of the Rohill family is not easy! He could only helplessly spread his hands and explain: "Terrence, we use a lot more funds than you. Even your company has lost 4.4 billion US dollars. What do you think of us?" "And you should be able to see that we, Roshill Investment Bank and Barclays Bank, are the core targets of negative public opinion." "Our pressure is also very great, and the excess funds are really not available..." Terrence Warburg immediately limp on the sofa when he heard the words, shook his head bitterly, and continued: "Evelyn, the strength of your Lowhill family is far above our Warburg family, even if yours The loss is twice ours, and I think it¡¯s easier for you to raise funds than us." "In this situation, we really can only ask your family for help." "Otherwise... S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company is very likely to be lost in my hands. How can I be worthy of my father and my grandfather!" Evelyn Rohill''s face suddenly became serious when he heard the words. The Warburg family is the firmest ally of the Rohill family. Although the strength is a lot worse than the Rohill family, it is also a well-known flag in Europe. If the S¡¤G¡¤Warburg Company is really lost from the Warburg family, then it will undoubtedly be a blow to the Rothschild family. Only at this time, he didn''t dare to say to help S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company! After all, the enemy''s offensive is very clear. Their Rohir family is the key target of attack. It is still unknown what means the enemy will have behind it. At this time, spreading the defense booth is undoubtedly an act of seeking death! The Warburg family and the S.G. Warburg company are trying their best to protect them, but the premise is that they can''t let the Rohill family bear the consequences. He must be responsible for his family! "Terrence, dispose of the company''s investment assets as soon as possible and raise some funds. We will also find ways to use channels to help S¡¤G¡¤Huabao handle assets. It should be useful." "On your side, it is better to start the Warburg family''s contacts and try to raise funds." "It depends on the situation later. If we still have more energy, we will do our best to help you." Evelyn Lowhill looked directly at Terrence Warburg and said very sincerely. The attitude is sincere, but there is nothing substantial. Anyway, Terrence Warburg did not get the money he wanted, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com only got one possible promise. This disappointed him so much... But he can only nod his head to express understanding. "Hey... well, I''ll go back and find a way first, and I will contact you later if there is a situation." Terrence Warburg finished speaking, got up and left decisively. Evelyn Rohill sent him out the door, waved his hand to watch him leave, but he was very unhappy in his heart. "damn it!" The more I thought about it, the more annoyed Evelyn Rohill became, and he swore and punched the goal post. at this time. "President, emergency call!" The secretary took the vibrating cell phone and ran over quickly and said. Evelyn Lowhill directly connected: "Hello, what''s the matter?" "What? The Bright Fund has announced that it will hold its annual investor dividend meeting at the Marco Polo Hotel tomorrow afternoon?" "I see, pay close attention to this matter!" After hanging up the phone, Evelyn Rohill looked gloomy, and his heart was extremely heavy. He knew that the second wave of the enemy''s offensive was coming. However, this offensive was something he had never thought of before. One day, the dividend meeting of a financial company will turn out to be a weapon of attack! They Rothschild Investment Bank and Barclays Bank were caught in the "huge loss gate" because of their collapse in Xiangjiang, and they tried every means to cover their losses and dare not announce them. The Bright Fund held an investor dividend meeting with such a big fanfare. This is stimulating their investors and stimulating the people who eat melons! If the Bright Fund really produces an enviable income dividend, then investors will definitely be crazy. It¡¯s just the consequence of the investor¡¯s madness, but he would never want to see it... https:// Genius remembers this site address in one second:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1473: The European financial industry is about to reshuffle! In the eyes of everyone. The Investor Dividend Conference held by the Bright Fund at the Marco Polo Hotel in London was held as scheduled. George Berkeley also invited many media reporters to the venue to witness this grand occasion. The Marco Polo Hotel in London is a five-star hotel that just opened the year before. The largest conference room on the second floor is very spacious, with an area of ??1,230 square meters, and can accommodate up to 1,100 people. And this afternoon, such a spacious meeting room is still full of seats. When many famous British financial giants were caught in the whirlpool of public opinion and loss, the Bright Fund held an investor dividend meeting with such a big fanfare, of course they would be there in person as much as possible. After all, in order to reduce the risk, many investors here choose to bet long, invest in different institutions, and maintain a network of relationships by the way. When the investment in Rothschild Investment Bank, the British Golden Forest Capital Management Company and other institutions cast a shadow, they urgently need a booster! Of course, there are also investors who are not Bright Funds. It''s just that these invited potential investors all have strong strength, and they are exactly the goal of George Berkeley. George Berkeley will use this dividend meeting as a bait to fish them into the fish guard of the Bright Fund. "Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 1986 Investor Dividend Conference hosted by Bright Fund. I am your old friend, George Berkeley. I am honored to be here in person. Here, I would like to extend my sincere wishes to you all. Greetings and blessings!" As time passed from one to three o''clock in the afternoon, George Berkeley, dressed in a straight suit, walked firmly to the center of the stage and gave the opening remarks with a smile on his face. His response was thunderous applause. "Papa Papa..." "thanks!" George Berkeley bowed slightly in thanks. "Unknowingly, it just passed in 1986..." A lyrical remembrance of memories was spoken for about three minutes, and the people below were also listening quietly. Three minutes later, George Berkeley''s voice suddenly rose by one level, and his tone became exciting. "In the past year, thank you all for your trust and support for our Bright Fund. As the president, what I can give back to you is to do my best to lead the team and bring the most generous to all the friends who support and trust our company. Return, below, I will announce the operation and dividend distribution of a series of investment funds!" "As of now, Bright Fund has a total of 18 private equity funds and 23 public equity funds, 41 in total. The total fund management scale is 13.78 billion pounds (only the scale of management after external fundraising is announced, and the internal funds of the consortium are not announced). " "In the past year, these 41 funds have all achieved profitability. The highest return rate of the fund reached 114.57%. It is the Bright Index Vanguard Fund. The Bright Hybrid No. 2 Fund and Bright Industry have a return rate of more than 100%. The preferred funds are 108.12% and 102.39% respectively!" "According to the return rate from high to low, the return rates of the remaining 38 funds are..." "The lowest rate of return is the Bright Steady Price Investment Fund, with a return rate of 15.17%, far exceeding the industry average!" "Today, the total amount of dividends to be issued to everyone at the scene is!" Speaking of this, George Berkeley stopped deliberately and glanced down with a smile, and found that everyone was staring at him scorchingly. He lowered his head and glanced at it, and announced in excitement: "3.4939.91 million pounds!" "Wow~" "My God! It''s incredible!" "Pap, papa..." As soon as this number came out, the originally silent conference room suddenly became lively, and everyone was shocked by the dividend. All they can do is to give the warmest applause. The thunderous applause continued for nearly two minutes before it gradually fell. "From everyone''s applause, I feel everyone''s recognition of our Bright Fund. This is the supreme honor for me." "Of course, I think everyone will also wonder why a large number of well-known institutions in the United Kingdom and even Europe have suffered heavy losses, and our Bright Fund can make such a large return?" As soon as George Berkeley finished speaking, he saw a gentleman below raise his hand. "Okay, this gentleman has something to say, the staff handed the microphone to this gentleman." George Berkeley said with a smile immediately. Soon, the staff handed a microphone to the middle-aged white man. "Thank you, President Berkeley." "I am Wills Cameron and I am really curious about the income of the Bright Fund." "Because I invested 1 million pounds in the brightest index fund with the highest yield, which means that I can get a dividend of 1,145,700 pounds this year!" "This is the one I have made the most since I invested in a fund, and it is also the one with the highest rate of return." "This is undoubtedly one thing that makes me happy." "It''s just that I really want to know how the Bright Fund creates happiness for me." "This will determine how much money I have to put out to continue to be managed by the Bright Fund." The white man spoke very briskly and cheerfully, but other people in the meeting heard a lot of screams from his words, which made many people lemons. "Damn it, he just asked this question for nothing, he actually wanted to show off that he invested in the Bright Index Fund..." "I also invested in the Bright Index Fund, am I proud?" "..." Oh, this **** feeling is so intoxicating. Wells Cameron listened to the murmurs of people nearby, and the corners of his mouth rose sharply, and his mood was a joy. At this moment, he was very fortunate that he had agreed to George Berkeley''s request to be a "champion" at the venue, otherwise he would really not experience the full-blown envy and hatred of people. George Berkeley responded with a smile: "Okay, I think Wells Cameron''s question is also everyone''s question." "Then I can tell you very clearly that the reason why the return rate of the Bright Index Fund is so high is because the Bright Index Fund has invested in Hong Kong''s Hang Seng Index on a large scale." "The high rate of return of other funds is also because they have more or less participated in investing in the Hong Kong stock market. As one of the longs, our Bright Fund has obtained sufficient returns with its strong strength!" The doubts were solved instantly! "So, we can get so many dividends because of the money lost by Rothschild Investment Bank, Cerberos Capital, Golden Forest Asset Management, etc., part of the money that goes into the pockets of Bright Fund?" "The strength of the Bright Fund is stronger than them?" Wells Cameron stared, and said in shock. His words reached everyone''s ears through the microphone in his hand and the audio equipment covering the venue. "You can think so!" "The strength of our Bright Fund is beyond doubt, otherwise we will not be able to win!" George Berkeley gave him a positive answer. The venue fell into the hustle and bustle again. It''s just that compared with the neat sighs and applause before, it is now full of a lot of anger and regrets. "Kacha Kacha..." The more than one hundred reporters present were shocked, their faces flushed and pressed the camera shutter to record this scene. Today''s news is really strong enough, and you can definitely get a bonus when you take it back! "I once again feel lucky and proud to be able to choose Bright Fund!" "President Berkeley, can I continue to invest my dividends without drawing dividends?" Wells Cameron sighed and asked hurriedly. The originally noisy meeting place suddenly became quiet again. George Berkeley shook his head: "This time the dividend has been decided, then the dividend of 3.4939.91 million pounds will be distributed to all investors." "Hey¡­" Neat sighs suddenly sounded off the court. But George Berkeley suddenly raised his voice, changed the front of the conversation, and said loudly, "But!" "Our Bright Fund serves investors. Investors choose to trust us and we will never turn them away." "In order to serve more investors, we have built six public funds and six private funds internally, and all preparations have been completed!" "The corresponding fundraising work will start in a week." "A week later, at nine o''clock in the morning, UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com is in this conference room. Our Bright Fund will hold the first fundraising conference in 1987. We have prepared exquisite invitations for both present and non-present investors. You can get an invitation letter from the staff at the door after everyone leaves the venue for a while." "A week later, I look forward to seeing you again!" ¡­ The investor dividend meeting of the Bright Fund ended at 5 o''clock in the afternoon, and the subsequent dividends will be directly credited to their bank accounts. And with their departure, the blast news that Bright Fund took out nearly 3.5 billion pounds of income dividends swept across London like a hurricane, and then raged across Europe and the world with London as the center. That night, the major European TV stations reported this breaking news, and the name of the Bright Fund resounded throughout the European continent on this day! As everyone knows, there was also the first fundraising conference in 1987 held by Bright Fund a week later. Countless investors even dreamed about how to raise money this night, and invested in the newly opened funds of Bright Fund. And the quickest way is undoubtedly to redeem the investment in funds opened by other financial institutions! This night, I don¡¯t know how many heads and staff of the agency could not sleep all night. The pattern of the European financial world will face tremendous changes starting tonight!

After Xia Yu''s Sumitomo Yasuke received Xia Yu''s call, he hurriedly left the Sumitomo Bank headquarters and hurried home. When I got home, I found that his father, Sumitomo Shinichi, was sitting leisurely on a wooden chair in a pavilion by the lake, wearing a pair of reading glasses, holding a newspaper in his right hand and looking at him, and from time to time he pinched some bread crumbs in his left hand and threw it into the lake. The koi in the lake vie for food. The 76-year-old Sumitomo Shinichi''s body is no longer what it was a few years ago, and he has let go of more than half of the family affairs, basically being taken over by his son Sumitomo Yasuke. It''s just that Sumitomo Yasuke often seeks his father''s advice to avoid accidentally making a wrong decision and causing the family to suffer losses. "Kansuke, why are you coming back so early?" Hearing footsteps, Shinichi Sumitomo followed the prestige, with a faint smile on his face, and asked softly. "Father, I just received a call from your grandson-in-law Xia Yu. I want to ask your opinion about something." Sumitomo Yasuke sat down face to face with Shin Sumitomo, and said solemnly. Sumitomo Shin was taken aback, then smiled and handed the newspaper in his hand to Sumitomo Yasuke, and said, "Is it this?" Sumitomo Yasuke took a look and found that it was a newspaper of the Daily News. It was shockingly news about the Bright Fund¡¯s disbursement of more than 3 billion pounds in dividends. He also saw this news early this morning, but he was not reading the "All Day News" newspaper. But Xia Yu''s contact with him really has something to do with this, although it is indirect. He nodded and said: "It''s related. Guangming Fund is Xia Yu''s ally. Now the dividend operation of Guangming Fund is clearly aimed at those institutions that short Xiangjiang before." "According to the old Chinese saying, it''s called a draw from the bottom of the pot." "Xia Yu told me that this time he, Bright Fund, and other allies are ready to take advantage of the tight capital chain of the European consortium to launch an attack on the Rohill family, and he invited us to join this feast." Sumitomo Shinichi narrowed his eyes and nodded after thinking about it: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." "I didn''t contact us before because we were afraid that we didn''t want to take risks. Now the bright fund has a very subtle trick. Although the effect has not yet appeared, it is possible to guess the general effect." "There will definitely be a lot of people just around the corner." "Did he say, who is he going to work with?" Sumitomo Yasuke said truthfully: "He told me that in addition to the Bright Fund, some established local families in the UK will also participate, such as the Howard family." "Then the Southeast Asian consortium has the final say and will participate." "The island country invited us and the all-day consortium." "On the American side, he has invited the Polaris Consortium and the Mellon Consortium, and is inviting the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium to participate." Shin Sumitomo''s slightly squinted eyes widened in an instant, and the corners of his mouth raised sharply, admiring: "His handwriting is really big. It seems that he is determined to take revenge on the European shorts." "This kind of opportunity cannot be missed!" "To be able to attack the Rohill family, I think the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium will never miss this opportunity." "If all the allies mentioned by Xia Yu can be brought together, even if it is not a unified action, it will be enough to sink European capital!" "Reply to him, we will definitely participate!" Sumitomo Yasuke nodded his head: "Good father, I will call him back now." After all, Sumitomo Yasuke took out the satellite encrypted mobile phone in his bag and dialed Xia Yu''s number. ¡­ United States, Pennsylvania, among the Mellon family. Although the time point is different, a similar scene is also happening here. It''s just that unlike the Sumitomo family, the Mellon family directly convenes a meeting of the top of the family. Of course, the head of the family, Xia Yu''s third-in-law Leonard Mellon, presided over the meeting. "...This is the situation. My idea is to participate in this operation. After our family experienced the last crisis, the operation has always been conservative and focused on integrating resources. At present, the entire family and consortium have calmed down the storm, and it is time for us again. Expanded to the outside world." "This is a great opportunity. We are likely to use this opportunity to build a stronger foundation in Europe to facilitate future expansion in all aspects." "One more thing, last time my brother-in-law helped our family a lot, this time his invitation, although it also meant to help him, but I am more inclined to understand it as a win-win invitation for him to help us again. I can''t think of a reason to refuse." Leonard Mellon, who sits at the chief, said in a long and long way, expressing his own attitude very clearly, which is obviously different from his previous attitude when he had a family meeting, and everyone sitting can see it. Since Leonard Mellon has this attitude, what else can be said? All support! Anyway, this is indeed an opportunity for small risks and high returns! "I have no opinion." "I support!" "agree!" "..." ¡­ Morgan Stanley headquarters, in the chairman''s office. John Chris Morgan was holding a Cuban cigar, standing in front of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Manhattan Street, where he took a deep breath and then spit it out. "Jacob Rohill, haha~" "You really disappointed me. We have always regarded you as our opponent." "Unfortunately, you lost in Canada, you also lost in Australia, you also lost in Xiangjiang, you lost three times in a row, and now you have been beaten to your doorstep." "Since you can''t hold the huge wealth yourself, let the future take care of it for you." "I just hope that you still have the strength to defend against our offense." After speaking, John Chris Morgan came to the table, put out the cigar, picked up the phone and made a call. After more than ten seconds, the phone went through. He said quietly, "David, I think we should work together this time, what do you think?" "No problem~" David Rockefeller''s old voice came from the handset of the phone. The corners of John Chris Morgan''s mouth raised slightly, and a look of anticipation rose in his heart. ¡­ Xiangjiang. "Chairman, is there anything you want me to do?" Huo Jianning opened the door and came in, and when he came to Xia Yu, he asked respectfully. "Sit down and say." After Huo Jianning sat down, Xia Yu said with a smile: "This time the plan to attack Europe, the Sumitomo Consortium, Mellon Consortium, Morgan Consortium, and Rockefeller Consortium have all agreed. We still have less than a week. As long as the Bright Fund raises When the capital is completed, the action will begin." "We need to roughly divide the direction of action to avoid internal resource consumption and time delays. The think tank needs to come up with a plan." "But don''t get the general direction wrong. We are targeting the suppression of European capital and the Rohill family, but this is not the most important thing." "The most important thing is these places." With that, Xia Yu reversed the notebook with a few lines and pushed it to Huo Jianning. I saw the words "West Germany, Italy, Spain, Central Europe, South Africa" ??impressively written on it! Huo Jianning frowned and raised his head to look at Xia Yu with some doubts. Xia Yu chuckled: "These places were very tightly guarded before, and our foundation was too weak..." PS: From 8pm to 8:30pm on October 30th, remember to enter the group draw, don¡¯t forget to set a reminder (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1475: Xia Yus layout Huo Jianning suddenly realized. "Chairman, you intend to let other forces rush ahead to attract firepower. Let''s take advantage of their emptiness to enter these countries and regions." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Not bad." The aggregate economic output of Europe can rival that of the United States. What''s more, it is more than the United States! Although not much exceeded. But think about the total economy of the United States. In addition to accommodating ten super giant consortia, there are also large and small families and consortia below. A European economy is nearly fifty times that of today''s bustling Xiangjiang! In the past, Xia Yu entered Europe, but the most important thing was the Bright Consortium, which relied on the British background. The Jiuding Consortium of Hong Kong didn''t enter the land too deep because it was blocked by the ubiquitous barrier. Even if it is the Bright Consortium, although it is already a first-class consortium in Europe, its main bases are still in Britain and France. Although the Bright Fund has branches in various European countries, many companies under the Bright Consortium also have branches and businesses in various countries. However, if it fails to reach the top ten in the field, its influence is not enough, and it cannot serve as the foundation of the Bright Consortium in the local area. In Europe today, the strongest economies are not Britain and France, but West Germany. France is in second place, and the United Kingdom is in third place. Continue down the row. They are Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Finland and other countries. In terms of economic aggregates, the fourth oldest Italy is almost the same as the third British! The top five Spain and the top three in Central Europe, Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium, combined, are equal to Italy or the United Kingdom. But in any case, these countries where Xia Yu has not yet penetrated deeply, this excellent opportunity must be taken advantage of. As for South Africa. Although South Africa is now deeply mired in the divestment campaign initiated by Europe and the United States, which has caused social unrest, South Africa is still a country with a gross national product of over 100 billion U.S. dollars. It is still the only developed country in Africa. If in a few years, the Boer regime is brought down and Mandela comes to power, then South Africa''s economy will definitely go backwards. But whether the economy goes backwards or not, it is different from whether you can make money. As long as a sufficient foundation can be established in South Africa, there is a way to grab enough benefits. In addition, South Africa, the only developed country in Africa, holds a different position in the hearts of the people of various countries in Africa. This is a special platform. In the future, Xia Yu needs such a platform to realize more ideas in Africa. This is Xia Yu''s top-level design. As for the specific implementation plan, it needs to be built in accordance with the economic and social reality of each country, as well as Xia Yu''s own business empire. This requires the teamwork of think tanks to be able to accomplish it efficiently. After explaining Huo Jianning, Huo Jianning went down and implemented it with great spirits. Just when Xia Yu finished drinking a pot of tea in the office and just wanted to go out and relax. However, Wang Qi and Xu Chongguang came together. "Why are you here together? An appointment?" Seeing Wang Qi and Xu Chongguang coming in together, Xia Yu asked with a chuckle. Xu Chongguang smiled and replied: "Chairman, I happened to meet Mr. Wang in the elevator. I asked him and learned that he was here to report to you, so I came together without talking to Director Huo in advance. communication." "Sit down and talk." Xia Yu smiled, did not mind, and greeted the two of them to sit down. "Did you make the annual report? Show it to me." As Xia Yu said, his eyes swept over the two of them a few times, and finally he focused on Wang Qi. Wang Qi immediately took out the compiled annual report from his bag and presented it to Xia Yu with both hands. "Chairman, this is the business situation of Kirin Capital last year. As for the report of the Xiangjiang Commercial Exchange, the analysis level is not thorough enough. I will let the people below continue to do it, and I will have to wait two days." "Good." Xia Yu nodded, did not say much, read the report first. As the highest-starting asset management company in Hong Kong, Kirin Capital has attracted much attention since its establishment in March 1986, and Xia Yu has also placed high expectations. Kirin Capital has a very high start. The six funds raised a total of 51,753.37 million Hong Kong dollars as soon as they were established. Such a huge amount of funds is more difficult to operate. Considering that Kirin Capital has attracted much attention, in order to expand better in the future, it needs to make outstanding achievements in the first year. Therefore, except for the six funds established at the beginning, no one was established in 1986. A new fund. As for the various resources in the consortium, Xia Yu will also deliberately lean slightly towards Kirin Capital to boost its growth. The annual report of Kirin Capital Company submitted by Wang Qi also proved that Xia Yu did not misunderstand anyone. Wang Qi did not disappoint his expectations and managed the company very well. Three private equity funds and three public equity funds are well developed. The Kirin Bond No. 1 Fund is a private equity fund with an initial capital of 4.78 billion Hong Kong dollars. The current capital is 6.148.15 million Hong Kong dollars. The growth is 1.36815 million Hong Kong dollars, and the growth rate is 28.62%! The Kirin Hang Seng Index Fund No. 1 is a private equity fund with an initial capital of 13.47 billion Hong Kong dollars. The current capital is 22,712.59 million Hong Kong dollars. The increase is 9.242.59 million Hong Kong dollars, and the growth rate is 68.62%! Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 1 is a private equity fund with an initial capital of 14.18 billion Hong Kong dollars. The current capital is 25,621.88 million Hong Kong dollars, with an increase of 11.44188 million Hong Kong dollars, a growth rate of 80.69%! The Kirin Bond No. 2 Fund is a public fund with an initial capital of 2.5737.76 million Hong Kong dollars. The current capital is 3.318.63 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 744.87 million Hong Kong dollars, and a growth rate of 28.94%! The Kirin Hang Seng Index No. 2 Fund is a public fund with an initial capital of 60 billion 68 million Hong Kong dollars. The current capital is 10.41557 million Hong Kong dollars. The increase is 4.414 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the growth rate is 73.57%! Kirin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 2 is a public offering fund with an initial capital of 10.74893 million Hong Kong dollars. The current capital is 21,931.85 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 11.1829.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and a growth rate of 104.04%! Kylin Tianyi Mixed Fund No. 2 is the only fund with an annualized rate exceeding 100%. As for the entire company level, in the past less than a year, the amount of capital has increased from 51.75337 million Hong Kong dollars to 90,148.67 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 38.3953 million Hong Kong dollars, a growth rate of 74.19%. Of course, because Kirin Capital is different from Jiuding Securities, Kirin Capital does not have self-support funds, and it is the assets of investors under management from beginning to end. And because the investment types and risks of these six funds are different, the annual management fees and income commissions are also different. After some calculations, in the past year, based on this income, Kirin Capital¡¯s receivable management fees were HK$85.76 million, and the due income commission was HK$6.375.16 million. After deducting some of the income due to Kirin Capital, then the actual annualized rate of return for investors is much different from the growth rate. But this is the case, the lowest annualized rate of return is 24.76%, and the highest is 81.23%! Such a rate of return, in the entire Southeast Asia, is enough to sweep a large area, and it can definitely be taken. However, because these six funds are all closed-end funds, the Kirin Tianyi Mixed Funds 1 and 2 with the shortest closed period are all 3 years, and the other four funds are all 5 years, so this annualized rate of return can only be seen But I can''t touch it. "This result is very good. If you work for a full year, you may be expected to bring capital to the scale of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars." After putting down the annual report, Xia Yu gave Wang Qi a positive evaluation. Wang Qi said modestly: "Thank you for the praise, the chairman. The main reason for this achievement is that you commanded two big battles this time, and I took advantage of this to reap a lot of benefits." Xia Yu smiled and told Wang Qi: "Just publish this annual report with fanfare. I believe many investors are looking forward to it." "You know about the previous news of the Bright Fund. Although Kirin Capital''s funds cannot be redeemed for the time being, nor can it receive dividends, as long as it is announced, it can definitely create a sensational effect." "The next step is to start working on the European side. You can take this opportunity to set up more funds, raise more funds, and expand the scope of fundraising. Don''t catch Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia''s wool." Wang Qi couldn''t help but smile. He nodded obediently: "Okay, Chairman, I understand." Xia Yu smiled and nodded, looking at Xu Chongguang who had been waiting for a long time and said, "Sogo, what is your good news?" He had prepared him a long time ago and presented the report to Xia Yu as if offering a treasure: "Chairman, please have a look, I have successfully completed the task assigned by you." "Oh?" Xia Yu raised expectations in his heart. In April last year, he gave Xu Chongguang a difficult task to complete the issuance of 10 million global cards by the end of December last year. He opened it and saw that the most conspicuous was a table with the number of cards issued in the nine months from April to December. Nothing happened in April, but since May, no one month has issued less than one million cards. UU reading The peak data was in August last year, and the number of cards issued reached 2.284 million. The final total shows that the total number of cards issued last year was 11.48 million, which was an excess of 14.86% to complete the assigned task indicators. No wonder Xu Chongguang looks like a treasure offering. Although Xia Yu thought it was a bit funny, he still understood his mentality. After all, Xu Chongguang was promoted from the vice president of Jiuding Bank and served as the president and chairman of the vital global credit card international organization. He became one of the core figures of the financial platform of the consortium. Although it was highly valued and cultivated, it definitely gave him a great deal. pressure. Knowing his current state of mind, Xia Yu naturally praised him. "Sogo, you did a good job, overfulfilled the task, and didn''t let me down." Xu Chongguang was flattered, and humbly replied, "Thank you for the praise of the chairman. The key to the issuance of so many cards is the great support of the major banks. It is all your credit." Appreciation flashed in Xia Yu''s eyes, and he continued: "Keep an attitude of not being arrogant or impetuous, I am optimistic about you." "Now the foundation of the Global Credit Card International Organization is laid, but how to develop and grow in the future is the second key." "Especially Europe, which is densely populated with countries, as well as the Middle East and South America, needs further expansion." "This requires a real fight with other card issuing organizations." Xu Chongguang took a deep breath and focused his head: "I must follow your teachings and try my best to expand my business globally." PS: I''m sorry, the data involved is a bit difficult, and I have to check the past economic data of European countries, so I wrote a chapter for three hours, and the update is late. Sorry! (https://) Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1476: ï¿¡0 billion Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads! Time flies like a white horse. One week passed in a blink of an eye. This week, most of Xia Yu''s energy was hampered by two things. One is to work with the think tank to gradually improve the action plan for Europe. The second is to constantly communicate with other allies in this operation to clarify the scope and steps of the offensive. Both of these things are for the same goal. The reason why it didn''t start is just waiting! Waiting for the extremely eye-catching fundraising meeting of Bright Fund. Today, this fundraising conference is in the limelight and is held at the Marco Polo Hotel in London. The huge venue was already full of seats at this time, and everyone was talking with the people around. But after George Berkeley stepped onto the stage at a steady pace, the noisy venue suddenly quieted down. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to participate in the first fundraising conference held by our Bright Fund in 1987." "Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who is doing it!" "Papa......" After George Berkeley spoke briefly and bowed, there was a burst of thunderous applause. After the applause fell. George Berkeley continued with a smile: "A week ago, many people present shared the feast of wealth with us here." "3.4939.91 million pounds, the largest fund investment dividend in the history of the United Kingdom and even Europe!" "You are all one of the creators of historical records!" "Papa......" "Today, a week later, I saw many familiar faces again. Of course, what makes me most happy is that there are many new faces, these new friends. Thank you for choosing our Bright Fund. I don¡¯t think I will let you. Disappointed." "After saying so much, maybe everyone is annoyed by it, then let''s go directly to the topic that everyone cares about the most!" "This time, we will launch 10 funds at once on the basis of the past 41 funds..." ... "Come on, little guys, look at Dad, so good!" In the morning, Xia Yu had just finished breakfast, teasing the five lovely children who had woke up and sitting in the stroller. Several wives gathered around and watched the warm scene with a smile. At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the table suddenly rang. That was Xia Yu''s personal satellite phone. Those who could know this number were either the core senior members of the consortium or someone with a very high social status who could talk to Xia Yu on an equal footing. The girls all looked at Xia Yu, and the nearest Elena walked over and took the phone. "Hello...George?" "...Okay, good job." "What''s the current state of public opinion in Britain and Europe?" "...Okay, act according to the plan I told you before..." I communicated with George Berkeley for more than ten minutes, most of the time George Berkeley was talking, while Xia Yu listened with a smile. After Xia Yu hangs up. Elena had already picked up her son Xia Qizhe and was shaking slightly. "My dear, you look happy. Is there any good news from the Guangming Fund?" They are all by their own pillow. Of course, Xia Yu will not hide it, and said with a chuckle: "Yes, George Berkeley reported to me that this morning in London, Bright Fund opened ten new funds, and the amount of funds raised created financial The historical record of a single fundraising in the world has reached 12.32.25 million pounds!" "Not only did the 3.493.91 million pounds of dividends paid out last week have been recovered, but also a large amount of money has been obtained." "Now the entire European financial industry is noisy, and it has caused a huge impact on other institutions." "My God, why are there so many?!" "12.8 billion pounds, converted into Hong Kong dollars, how come there are hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, right?" The girls were shocked. Seeing the shock and curiosity of his wives, Xia Yu explained with a smile: "In fact, there can be so many, mainly because this time has attracted several super large households, it is national-level social security or radical sovereignty." "The biggest big dog among them is the Saudi sovereign fund. It alone has entrusted the Bright Fund with 2 billion pounds for investment management." Elena and the others suddenly realized. "No wonder, it turned out that a national-level sovereign fund has also come. It seems that the influence of the Bright Fund has spread all over the world." Sandy Mellon whispered, with a bright smile on her face, she said from the bottom of her heart. Xia Yu was proud. After all, this is her husband''s property. "This is just the beginning. With the addition of tens of billions of pounds of circulating funds, the influence of the Bright Fund will soon increase again." Xia Yu said with a smile. "Do you think it is, my little baby, come, and give my father a smile." Xia Yu asked Xia Siqi, who took the youngest daughter Xia Siqi from Sumitomo Kumiko''s arms. ... The situation is similar to what George Berkeley reported to Xia Yu. To be more serious. Many financial institutions face problems even worse than the situation described by George Berkeley. Even the ¡ê3.49391 million of dividends previously taken by investors have been reinvested in the new fund. There are also large sums of money invested by big dogs such as the Saudi sovereign fund. However, it is impossible for these investors to collect the capital of 12.32.25 million pounds. Among them, nearly four billion pounds was the money raised by these investors from other places, and a large part of it was redeemed by other institutions. This impact is not trivial! It has had an impact on the cash flow of many institutions. Not to mention those institutions that are already mired in the whirlpool of loss-making public opinion. With such an excellent opportunity, the many crocodiles who had been waiting for a long time opened their blood basins. And there is no doubt that the Rohill family is the biggest goal. Especially for the Morgan Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium, it is their unanimous goal to bring down the Rohill family. The Lohill family relies on the financial network to start, survive and maintain the entire family consortium, is their primary target of attack. Rothschild Investment Bank, Barclays Bank, Austrian Central Bank and even its equity participation in the National Bank of Westminster are all targets of attack. ... And at this moment, the Guangming Fund, which holds a huge cash flow in hand, is holding the last high-level meeting before the action. In the meeting room of Bright Fund Headquarters , the door was closed tightly, and the curtains on the windows were tightly drawn. The entire meeting room was carefully checked to ensure that there were no monitoring equipment. George Berkeley sat at the top, his face solemnly said to everyone: "Now, our allies have begun to act, and we should do it too." "The division of labor in the previous plan will be familiar to everyone, and the plan will be further improved in actual combat." "But with two teams, there is no time. They must act immediately." Speaking of this, George Berkeley paused and looked at the heads of the two groups. "The first goal in the field of investment banking, S¡¤G¡¤Huabao." "The first goal in the banking sector is the National Westminster Bank, one of the four major clearing banks." "In any case, it must be won!" "Yes!" v3 Chapter 1477: Hunting S·G·Warburg Company In the S¡¤G¡¤Warburg company, Terrence Warburg is presiding over the board of directors meeting to discuss and study the countermeasures to overcome the difficulties. After falling deep into the vortex of losses, S¡¤G¡¤Huabao was abandoned by many investors. In this week alone, the company''s outflow of funds reached 224.15 million pounds, and more investors are applying for withdrawal, so that the company''s already tight capital chain has become even tighter. When the company had been making money before, it didn''t matter how Terrence Warburg managed it. The directors of the company supported his decision. But when the loss is severe, that''s not the case. Even if S¡¤G¡¤Warburg is strictly an asset of the Warburg family, the management and control rights of the company are in the hands of the Warburg family! Although the shareholding of other directors may not be very high, their social influence or background will never be bad. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to enter the board of directors of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company. These directors have also brought abundant social resources to S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company because of their shareholding relationship and boosted the growth of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company. One more thing, many of the directors here were brought in by Terrence Warburg and his father at the time, and they are all veterans. Therefore, Terrence Warburg must take care of the emotions of these directors. "Terrence, now the company has reached a very dangerous situation. We have been severely targeted and suppressed in the stock exchange market, futures market and national debt market, but we do not have sufficient funds to fight against. Without capital, we will lose resistance. Ability, the consequence is the loss of our market position." A director from West Germany said grimly. S¡¤G¡¤Huabao is a top securities dealer in the United Kingdom, and is also the top three issuer of government bonds, and the top three stock secondary market placement underwriters in Europe. As for the futures market and other businesses, it also has a pivotal position. In the past, S¡¤G¡¤Huabao was able to continuously consolidate and fight for the market by relying on its accumulated market reputation, huge funds and powerful operating methods. But now, the reputation of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao has collapsed and the capital chain has tightened. It is no longer able to maintain the framework built in the past by only relying on business methods. "Yes, I also have a very bad news here." "We have been eliminated from the ranks of underwriters for BP. This feast has nothing to do with us. All the preparations we have done before are wasted." Another director told a bad news, making everyone sitting here look ugly. BP is a giant company. The British government has carried out shareholding reforms before, but the progress is not thorough. This year the British government decided to let British Petroleum enter the stock market. This will be a gluttonous feast in the eyes of all financial companies. S¡¤G¡¤Warburg has made a lot of preparations for this. Just now... "Is there no chance?" a director asked unwillingly. "There are opportunities, but the meaning over there is to let us not rush, the specific list of results and shares will change later, at least there are still two months." It was just this explanation that made everyone''s face even more ugly. Isn''t this just to make it clear that they are not optimistic about them, and let them focus on getting through the difficulties first. "Terrence, can the Rohill family provide financial support?" The director from West Germany couldn''t help it, and raised this very sharp question. Facing a pair of sharp gazes, Terrence Warburg sitting on the top can only pretend to be calm, calming everyone and saying: "Please rest assured, the funding problem will be resolved." "But the company''s interests are everyone''s. I hope that when the company is facing a crisis, everyone can mobilize their own resources to tide over the difficulties with the company." "Especially the company''s internal operating conditions and financial conditions, I hope everyone can keep it strictly confidential, otherwise we will all be finished together." For a time, everyone here has different minds. ¡­ After the meeting. Terrence Warburg hurried back to the office alone, and made several calls to Evelyn Rohill, but no one answered them. He was restless and could not sit still, and set off directly to the Rohill family. . What he didn''t know was. People from Bright Fund have already contacted other minority shareholders of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company. The first to be found was Peter Hofbauer from West Germany, a little German man who was over sixty years old. The Hofbauer family is a large family in Bavaria, West Germany, and the Hofbauer family is also one of the shareholders of West German Yubao Bank. As soon as Peter Hofbauer left the headquarters of S.G. Warburg and wanted to return to West Germany, he received an unfamiliar call from Curtis Dubois of the M&A department of the Bright Fund. A meeting place was also reported, which was a coffee shop in the City of London area. Peter Hofbauer only thought for two minutes, then ordered the driver to the meeting place. "Mr. Peter Hofbauer?" "Yes." "Hello, my name is Curtis Dubois, deputy manager of the M&A Department of Bright Fund. I''m so glad you can come to the appointment." "Hello!" After simply shaking hands and saying hello, the two went to a corner of the coffee shop and sat down. As for the subordinates they brought, they sat not far away. After each ordering coffee, it will take some time to come up. But Curtis Dubois said straightforwardly: "Mr. Hofbauer, you must understand the purpose of my appointment with you, so I will just say it." "I want to acquire 2.14% of the shares of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao that you hold." Peter Hofbauer stared at Curtis Dubois blankly for a long time before slowly saying: "To be honest, I don''t want to sell this equity." "S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company is our top partner of Yubao Bank. As a shareholder and director of the two companies, this equity is not just a paper value." Curtis Dubois smiled and directly pierced Peter Hofbauer''s lie. "Mr. Hofbauer, listen to what you mean, this time S.G. Huabao Company failed to attack Xiangjiang, and the bad consequences caused by serious losses also affected Yubao Bank?" Peter Hofbauer shook his face. The strongman was embarrassed and said decisively: "Of course not. I mean that S.G. Warburg has close cooperation with Yubao Bank in the West German market." "Moreover, I want to emphasize that the attack on the Heung Kong Capital Market is led by Rothschild Investment Bank. Although S.G. Huabao has participated, the degree of participation is not deep, and the actual impact is not as bad as the outside public opinion described. " "As for where the public opinion comes from, I think Mr. Dubois should know better than me." Curtis Dubois didn''t care about Peter Hofbauer''s rebellion. He continued with a smile and said: "Mr. Hoffbauer, we all know how much S.G. Warburg Company has lost. Although I am not a director of S.G. Warburg Company like you, but in financial In the world, a lot of data can be analyzed. There is no need for completely detailed data, just one is probably enough." "Isn''t it?" "Moreover, if S.G. Warburg''s situation is very good, I don''t think we can chat here now, what do you think?" Peter Hofbauer couldn''t hold his face completely, and stared at Curtis Dubois with some irritation, and said: "Mr. Dubois, I don''t think we need to continue talking. I decided to meet you. wround choose." After that, Peter Hofbauer thought of getting up and leaving. Regardless of whether he pretended to be a posture or not, Curtis Dubois had to verify it. Anyway, what he said must have worked, that''s enough. He hurriedly got up to apologize and dissuade him: "Mr. Hofbauer, I''m sorry, there are some problems with my language, please forgive me." Sure enough, Peter Hofbauer hesitated a few times and still did not leave. Upon seeing this, Curtis Dubois must have felt that he knew that this matter was basically settled, and the next question was the price. "Mr. Hofbauer, please make a price. We sincerely want to acquire the equity of S.G. Warburg." "As for the cooperation between S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company and Yubao Bank, I want you to rest assured that it will not affect it at all." "Although our Bright Fund has been in West Germany for many years, we need more partners because our business has been growing. If you are willing to connect, I think our Bright Fund will be happy to cooperate with Yubao Bank." The steps are wide and good, and Peter Hofbauer, who doesn''t want to be dragged down by S.G. Warburg, made a decision in his heart. However, he still holds a glimmer of hope to see if Bright Fund really knows the true situation of S¡¤G¡¤Huabao. So he refused the first offer, and asked: "How much do you plan to pay?" Curtis Dubois smiled slightly and quoted a price: "Twenty million pounds!" Peter Hofbauer turned dark and immediately retorted: "This is impossible. The price is too low and is seriously inconsistent with the market position and size of S.G. Warburg." Curtis Dubois shook his head and said: "S¡¤G¡¤Huabao has lost more than 4 billion U.S. dollars, and now it has been withdrawn by a large number of investors. Although S¡¤G¡¤Huabao is not listed, its valuation It will definitely not exceed 800 million pounds. Our bid of 20 million pounds is already a premium." Peter Hoffbauer continued to refute: "It can''t be a valuation of 800 million pounds, and S.G. Warburg did not have such a serious loss..." "..." Soon, the coffee came. The two have drunk the coffee all the time, and there is no consistent result yet. Finally, Curtis Dubois suddenly said: "Mr. Hofbauer, I can buy your equity for 25 million pounds, which is equivalent to a 50% premium." "And if you do us a favor, we are willing to pay you another million pounds." Peter Hofbauer''s heart moved, and he couldn''t help asking: "What''s busy?" Curtis Dubois raised his mouth slightly, and slowly said: "Accepted by the media, he announced that it was a loss, and admitted that S.G. Warburg does have a huge hidden risk." Peter Hofbauer''s eyes became extremely deep, and UU Read www.uuk¨¡nshu.com looked straight at Curtis Dubois, who kept smiling and stared at him. After a long time... Peter Hofbauer only spoke, and what he said made Curtis Dubois smile. "One million bank is not enough, I want three million pounds!" "Yes!" Curtis Dubois agreed. Peter Hofbauer''s mouth twitched: "I seem to have offered a lower price." Curtis Dubois smiled and said: "No, the bottom line the company gave me is three million pounds. Since you were so sincere in negotiating with me just now, then I will give you everything I can." "Oh ~ maybe." Peter Hofbauer laughed at himself and shrugged. He set the price, and since the other party agreed, then he can''t go back. Next, it is naturally a happy time to sign the agreement. But the cafe is not suitable. Peter Hofbauer went directly to the headquarters of the Bright Fund with Curtis Dubois and signed an equity transfer agreement. In the afternoon of the same day, 2.14% of S.G. Warburg''s equity was taken by Bright Fund, and 28 million pounds of funds were transferred to the account designated by Peter Hofbauer. During this period, Curtis Dubois learned from Peter Hofbauer about the most real situation in the S.G. Warburg company. The latter had abandoned Terrence Warburg and naturally knew everything. answer. And Peter Hofbauer also accepted an interview with the "Financial Times". This interview news, after being published in the newspaper early the next morning, immediately stirred up a stormy sea! S¡¤G¡¤Warburg was pushed to the forefront, and Terrence Warburg panicked completely. https:// Please remember the domain name of this book''s first publication:. Apex novel mobile version reading URL: v3 Chapter 1478: S·G·Huabao Company is desperate Latest URL: "Damn it!" "Peter Hofbauer, bastard!" "I@%@%#*" Terrence Warburg completely lost his gentlemanship, like a poppy, afraid of swearing in the office. On the ground is the "Financial Times" published today that has been torn apart. Terrence Warburg was so furious that he silenced the secretary in the office, even subconsciously breathing light, for fear of arousing the anger of the chairman. "You go out first!" Terrence Warburg regained his sense of anger a bit, drove his subordinates out, squatted down, and picked up the torn newspaper again. After putting it together on the desktop. Terrence Warburg held back his anger and carefully read the front page news about S.G. Warburg once again. Especially what Peter Hofbauer said made him unable to help his blood flow. [...S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company lost a total of US$4.46653 million in the investment in Heung Kong...] [In recent time, S¡¤G¡¤Huabao has suffered a deep loss vortex, resulting in a net loss of funds of 224.15 million pounds, and investors who have applied to withdraw their investment...] "These detailed data have been exposed. It is impossible to dispel rumors anymore, damn..." Terrence Warburg crumpled the pieced newspaper into a ball again, threw it directly into the wastebasket, and said bitterly. At this time, his face was extremely hideous. But behind the hideous, there is panic and helplessness. This time, he really felt desperate. Peter Hoffbauer''s knife directly pierced the heart of S.G. Warburg, as if he wanted to give the air defense the last drop of blood to S.G. Warburg, which was already bleeding. "Dudu..." at this time. Terrence Warburg''s cell phone rang suddenly. "Huh...huh..." He stared at the phone for nearly ten seconds, then took a few deep breaths, trying to get his emotions back to normal as much as possible, and then connected the phone. "Hello, who is it?" "Curtis Dubois?" "You belong to the Bright Fund?" "I''m not free, we have nothing to talk about." At first, Terrence Warburg hadn''t reacted yet, but he felt that the name was familiar. But after hearing that Curtis Dubois came from the Bright Fund, he suddenly became angry, rejected Curtis Dubois in an extremely bad tone, and directly hung up the call. "Financial Times" is the mouthpiece of the financial media in the hands of the Bright Fund, and the Bright Fund is also one of the behind-the-scenes against them. Now he takes the initiative to contact him, and you don''t have to think about what you are going to do. This is going to eat their S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company! "Damn, they found me." Walking anxiously back and forth in the office, Terrence Warburg became more anxious the more he thought about it, but the more he felt powerless when he thought about the status quo. "No, I must think of a way again." After whispering to himself. Terrence Warburg took the cell phone and started making calls one by one, wanting to struggle a bit more. "Hey, Mr. Hughes, I am your old friend Terrence Warburg...what? Actually, the situation in our company is not what the news says. Peter Hoffbauer must have collected the money. I have He is ready to prosecute him, he will definitely be sent to prison..." "Hey¡­" All the calls were made, without exception, they were all tactful rejections, unable to provide financial support for S¡¤G¡¤Huabao Company. Even Terrence Warburg strongly denies the authenticity of the news and throws all the pot on Peter Hofbauer. Being rejected again and again made Terrence Warburg''s heart colder and colder. finally. He got through Evelyn Rohill''s phone. "Hey, Evelyn, I need your help, if you don''t help me, then we are really done!" As soon as it was connected, Terrence Warburg went straight to the point, threw out the problem, and said it was extremely serious, and wanted to increase the bargaining chip. After five or six seconds of silence on the phone, Evelyn Rohill''s tired old voice came out. "Terrence, I also read today''s "Financial Times", and I regret to learn that Peter Hoffbauer, a German, betrayed you." "But I don''t know if you have heard that we are also in great trouble. David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan are already besieging our family. We are under no less pressure than you..." Terrence Warburg knew a lot about these complaints and the truth, but he didn''t want to listen to it. He directly raised the volume and interrupted Evelyn Lowhill¡¯s words: "Evelyn, I don¡¯t know your situation, and I don¡¯t have the energy to understand it. I only know that if you can¡¯t help, then we It will definitely be over." "At that time, we will not have enough strength to work together again!" Although the words were very pitiful, they had a strong sense of vigilance, and Evelyn Rohill certainly could hear them. Although the Warburg family''s strength is much worse than that of the Rothschild family, after all, the two have had friendship for hundreds of years. So in the face of Terrence Warburg''s words, Evelyn Rohill finally let go. "Terrence, our losses are more serious than you, and the offensive intensity we face is far greater than you. We are also very difficult now." "I can support you up to 200 million pounds. No amount of money is really available." "Five hundred million pounds!" Terrence Warburg suddenly said to Evelyn Lowhill on the other end of the phone. "Really no, only 200 million pounds, Terrence, I didn''t joking with you." Evelyn Lowhill replied with a serious and determined tone. Terrence Warburg laughed silently, and then returned a word: "Okay." After that, he ended the call directly, slumped on the chair, looked at the ceiling blankly, without making a sound for a long time. until¡­ The phone in his hand rang again. "Hey¡­" After a long sigh, Terrence Warburg answered the phone. "Hey... I have time, in my office, you can come over." After just saying a word, Terrence Warburg hung up the call, and after dropping the phone on the table, he grabbed his blond hair with both hands and scratched it frantically. About fifteen minutes later. "Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock on the door, and the subordinate''s voice came from outside. "Chairman, I brought the people from Guangming Fund." "Come in!" Terrence Warburg said, and saw the office door opened and his subordinates brought in a few people. The headed person is Curtis Dubois. "Mr. Warburg, hello, this is Curtis Dubois of the Bright Fund." "Hello, Mr. Dubois." After shaking hands with Curtis Dubois without expression, Terrence Warburg directly signaled his subordinates to go out. "Mr. Dubois, your Illumination Fund is really a good way to make Peter Hofbauer fall on you." Facing Terrence Warburg''s cynicism, Curtis Dubois smiled and said: "No one can refuse banknotes." "If he refuses, it must be not enough." "Hehe~" This joke was not funny at all, but it seemed extremely harsh. Terrence Warburg chuckled without a smile, seeming to laugh at himself, but also to vent. "Mr. Dubois, explain your intentions." Terrence Warburg asked bluntly. "Our goal is only one, to save S.G. Warburg. The disappearance of such a century-old company is definitely a great regret in the financial world." Curtis Dubois said with a smile. "save?" "This is definitely the funniest joke I have ever heard." "If it weren''t for you, our S¡¤G¡¤Huabao company would not be what it is now, and it would not be your turn to speak about rescue." Terrence Warburg said with a sneer. "NO! NO! NO!" "Mr. Warburg, S.G. Warburg will encounter the current crisis, which is caused by you, or you should resent the Rohill family. If they do not unite with you to attack Xiangjiang, you will not encounter it. Such a big failure will not be in the current situation." "Even if we don''t come today, other companies will find you. Although the process will be different, the result will be the same." "And most importantly, at this time, if anyone in the world is most suitable to rescue S¡¤G¡¤Huabao, there is only our Bright Fund." "We have this strength and this prestige, to calm investors down, and let S¡¤G¡¤Huabao preserve it." Curtis Dubois said with a smile, in a very calm tone. After that, Terrence Warburg was speechless. Because what Curtis Dubois said is indeed the truth. U U Reading Investors withdraw their capital wildly because they no longer trust him and the current management. And vice versa. Bright Fund has the highest investor expectation and support in the European financial world. This intangible thing is the most difficult to grasp and reverse, and it is also the easiest to grasp and reverse. It''s a pity that he couldn''t grasp it. "Mr. Warburg, make an offer. We want all the shares in S.G. Warburg that you hold." Curtis Dubois took advantage of the victory and said. Terrence Warburg clenched his fists, his face was struggling, and opened his mouth, still not saying the word not to sell. He closed his eyes and fell silent. v3 Chapter 1479: The top predator turned out The latest website: "I need to think carefully and give you an answer in a few days." Terrence Warburg said slowly after being silent for a long time. Curtis Dubois looked at him for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Warburg, I just hope that s¡¤g¡¤Warburg can last a few days." "As far as the current situation is concerned, if we don''t interfere, the situation of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao will get worse and worse." "The more serious the impact of goodwill, the lower the value." Speaking of this, when Terrence Warburg looked ugly and wanted to speak, Curtis Dubois suddenly got up, dropped a word, and took someone away from Terrence Warburg¡¯s office. "Mr. Warburg, I won''t interrupt your thinking. I''m waiting for your reply." Terrence Warburg clenched his fists, his knuckles were all pinched white, staring blankly at Curtis Dubois and others leaving. "Hey¡­" ¡­ Faced with the threats left by Curtis Dubois before he left, Terrence Warburg was furious, but he had no choice, and delay was only bad for him and no good. He hurried back to the family and discussed with the family members. That night, the Warburg family had a fierce quarrel, and finally returned to peace. The next morning, Terrence Warburg contacted Curtis Dubois. The meeting place was not at Guangming Fund or s¡¤g¡¤Huabao Company. Instead, a relatively hidden place was chosen, and both parties brought negotiators. After sitting down, Curtis Dubois went straight to the subject: "Mr. Warburg, let''s start, you make a price." Who knows, Terrence Warburg directly refused: "s.g. Warburg is the foundation of our Warburg family. We will not sell it. This is not only my idea, but also our entire family. Resolution." Curtis Warburg frowned suddenly, but still remained calm, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you ask us to do?" "At most, we will sell the company''s investment banking business to you. As for banking and other businesses, it''s impossible." "It''s only our company''s investment banking business that is affected. Although other businesses have impacts, we can handle them on our own, and they are not to the point of selling them." Terrence Warburg''s tone was very firm, in order to express his attitude, and tried to put off Curtis Dubois'' thoughts. Curtis Dubois''s complexion slowed down a bit, and the bottom line is really the same as President George Berkeley''s bottom line. The Warburg family really won''t sell the entire company. However, for Bright Fund, the most valued s¡¤g¡¤Huabao Company is their investment banking business. Although Bright Fund has a huge influence in the field of investment banking, it has not even been established for ten years after all. In a place where established financial companies like Europe gather together, it can only be regarded as a recruit in terms of age. Although Bright Fund also has headhunting companies for its impressive record and great reputation, it still has some shortcomings in terms of talent reserves and resources. s¡¤g¡¤Huabao¡¯s investment banking business is at the top level in the world, and it is among the top three in many European countries. s¡¤g¡¤Huabao''s investment banking department is known for its strong research capabilities and execution capabilities in the secondary trading market. If the Bright Fund can merge the investment banking business of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao and rely on the resources of the entire consortium, the Bright Fund will definitely become the hegemon in the world of investment banking. As for the banking and other businesses of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao, it is not necessary for Xia Yu, who has many world-class banks in his hands. Anyway, s¡¤g¡¤Huabao is not even able to enter the top ten of the UK in the banking field, and it will be of little use if it comes. In the previous life, the investment banking business of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao was annexed by the Swiss Bank Group. The combined UBS Huabao is one of the three pillar businesses of the Swiss Bank Group, creating the world¡¯s largest issuance of convertible bonds. , The world¡¯s largest stock secondary market placement, global corporate merger consultants in multiple fields, and many other global No. 1 records. Closer to home. Curtis Dubois pretended to think for a long time, and then reluctantly said: "If your higher-quality banking business is not sold, then the investment banking business with serious losses and huge risks will be of little value." "No, no, one failure does not deny our past success. This time it was caused by many accidents. Our company''s investment banking business is still the world''s top level..." Terrence Warburg argued for reasons. Next, personnel from both sides also participated in the negotiation. Because both sides know that selling is definitely going to be sold, no matter how fierce the negotiation is, no one has any extreme behavior. After nearly an hour of intense negotiations, a consensus was finally reached. s¡¤g¡¤Huabao¡¯s investment banking business was sold for 282 million pounds. Bright Fund merged the entire investment banking department of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao with a 2.14% stake in s¡¤g¡¤Huabao, plus ¡ê256 million in cash. "Mr. Warburg, I have already signed it. If you are sure that it is correct, please sign." After Curtis Dubois signed, he pushed the contract to Terrence Warburg. The contract has been seen by our lawyers, and it is naturally correct. So Terrence Warburg never looked again. It''s just that his face is heavy, and the pen in his hand seems to be very heavy, and he hasn''t started writing when he put it at the signature place. Curtis Dubois didn''t urge, and just looked at it with a smile. After a long time. So Terrence Warburg sighed, squeezed his pen to sign his name, and stamped the company seal. This simple action seemed to take away his strength. For Terrence Warburg, he didn''t care, he put away a contract and handed it to his assistant. He smiled and said: "Mr. Warburg, do you come by yourself or send someone over, we will complete the remaining transaction steps." "Duck, you go." Terrence Warburg said to an assistant beside him. This is his nephew, Duck Warburg. "Good uncle." "Then, let''s go." After all, Curtis Dubois got up and took the people out. It took another half an hour or so to complete the transaction. Next, it will take some time and thought for Bright Fund to take over the investment banking business of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao. This matter is not urgent and must be carried out steadily, otherwise it will not be worthwhile if it causes trouble. The transaction was completed in less than an hour. News of the sale of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao''s investment banking business spread quickly. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Bright Fund immediately held an interim press conference to announce the news in a high-profile manner and call on investors to remain calm. Suddenly, the entire City of London shook, and the impact spread to the world at an extremely fast speed. Bright Fund merged with the investment banking business of s¡¤g¡¤Huabao, and the two swords were combined, and a more terrifying predator in the investment banking field was born! David Rockefeller, John Chris Morgan and others lament the efficiency of the Bright Fund. certainly. The controllers of the two dozen organizations that participated in the attack on Xiangjiang were like eggplants hit by cream. Evelyn Roshir and Jacob Roshir were silent for a long time after receiving the news, but then they continued to devote their energy to the battle. Now that the enemy¡¯s offensive is too fierce, they don¡¯t think too much to pity other people... v3 Chapter 1480: Manipulate the global mining market The latest website: "Dad, Mom, welcome to Xiangjiang, I miss you so much." "My favorite Kumiko, mom misses you so much." At the new Xiangjiang International Airport, Xia Yu took his wife Sumitomo Kumiko to welcome the arrival of his father-in-law. Looking at the embracing mother-in-law Jiangpu Risa and his wife Sumitomo Kumiko, Xia Yu smiled slightly, and then turned his attention to his father-in-law Sumitomo Yasuke. Unlike a sensual woman, the greeting between two men is much more formal. Although it is a relationship between husband and wife, the distance is not particularly close. "Father-in-law, welcome to Xiangjiang." "Haha, long time no see." ... After all, the airport is not home. After a brief greeting, the group got into the convoy and drove to Xia Yu''s home. When I arrived at home, I saw my granddaughter Xia Siqi, Sumitomo Yasuke and Jiangpu Risa unavoidably teasing, laughter and laughter everywhere. At noon, after a large family enjoyed a sumptuous lunch, Xia Yu and Sumitomo Kangsuke Weng-in-law went to the study room on the second floor to chat and drink tea. The topic is naturally the capital war in Europe today. "Xia Yu, I want to discuss something with you. I hope we exchange a hunting target." Sumitomo Yasuke did not go around the corner, and directly stated the purpose. Xia Yu smiled unchanged, and asked with a smile, "Which goal is it?" "We want Rio Tinto to abandon the acquisition of BHP." Sumitomo Yasuke said, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes. Prior to this, Xia Yu and Sumitomo Yasuke discussed several times through satellite phones and decided to cooperate in the field of mineral resources. Among them, Xia Yu selected four targets, namely Anglo American, Rio Tinto, Billiton and De Beers. The targets of the Sumitomo Consortium are BHP and Antofagasta. Xia Yu frowned slightly and asked: "Father-in-law, why do you want to change the target?" Antofagasta¡¯s goal has not moved. Xia Yu doesn¡¯t need to guess that this company is a Chilean copper giant headquartered in London. With the influence of the Sumitomo Consortium in the copper field, he will never give up on this company. Coveted. As for BHP, its current strength is similar to that of Rio Tinto, except that BHP¡¯s main business is in the field of iron, aluminum, copper and other ore, while Rio Tinto, in addition to the field of mineral resources, also has a certain degree in ocean transportation and petroleum. Strength, more comprehensive business. Sumitomo Yasuke did not want to deceive Xia Yu, he said frankly: "I think the acquisition of Antofagasta is enough for our influence in the world copper field to soar and increase BHP''s influence in the copper field. Strength is not particularly necessary. It is better to give it to you, and our two families will dominate the world copper resource market together." "One more thing, we need more reinforcement in energy extraction and transportation, so I hope to be able to acquire Rio Tinto Group." After thinking about it for a moment, Xia Yu nodded and agreed to Sumitomo Yasuke''s request: "Yes, but I hope you can help me more later." Sumitomo Yasuke smiled and nodded: "Of course, even if you don''t say anything, I will go all out to acquire more equity for you." Xia Yu smiled and added some tea to Sumitomo Kangsuke: "Father-in-law, are you ready here? You will start tomorrow." "Of course I''m ready. This time, the world economy will be affected by us." Sumitomo Yasuke has a smile on his face, thinking of the action to be launched tomorrow, even if he has seen the big wind and waves, he can''t help but look forward to it. After all, their action has never appeared in history. ... The next day. An amazing news came out of the global mining market. Australia¡¯s fourth-largest iron mine, Roy Mountain Iron Mine, announced a plan to increase production by 50% and reduce the selling price of iron sand by 20%. Then it seemed like an appointment was made. Tektronix Resources Canada, Freeport McMorland Group, Sumitomo Metal Mining Company, Australia Joan Leishart Company, Australian Tobemark Company, Buchanan Bolle Hall Coal Company, Mont Gunson Mining Company, Gove A large number of well-known mining companies, such as Bauxite Company, Pibara Iron Ore Company, and Northern Mining Company of Australia, have issued announcements to increase production and reduce prices. So many companies have strong influence in multiple sub-fields of mineral resources. The result of a joint increase in production and a reduction in prices. It was copper futures, iron ore futures, coal futures, electrolytic aluminum futures and many other futures prices plummeted. I don''t know how many small and medium-sized countries cheered. Because industrial raw materials can be bought at low prices. However, the industries in small and medium-sized countries are not well developed, and the demand for industrial raw materials is not very large. On the contrary, those economically developed countries reacted more strongly to this news, with joys and worries. The joy is that a large amount of industrial raw materials can be imported at low prices, but the worry is that domestic mining companies will face tremendous competitive pressure. But for this kind of market behavior, governments of various countries have no choice. It is impossible to prevent domestic industrial companies from purchasing low-priced mineral resources, right? Of course, financial elites know what is at stake in such an easy way to figure out what is at stake. They immediately voted with their feet. Quickly downgrade the ratings of listed companies in the mining sector, increase the risk value of the market, and quickly arrange the withdrawal of funds to sell the stocks of many mining companies. Before the world economy is completely out of the quagmire, the consumption of global industrial raw materials will never skyrocket. Therefore, these mining companies that announced increases in production and price cuts are definitely hurting people at their own expense. Even if they gain access to the market, their profit margins will never be high, and they cannot support a high market value. Those mining companies that have not responded temporarily will fall into vicious competition if they follow up. Production costs have skyrocketed and profits have plummeted. The profit margins can be imagined. And if you don¡¯t follow up, then the original market share will be robbed by other competitors, revenue will fall, and the financial report will not look good. Therefore, this market that is destined to become a quagmire will have to wait to be buried if you don''t run quickly. Anglo American Headquarters, London, UK. Harry Oppenheimer¡¯s son-in-law, who took over as Harry Oppenheimer in 1982 and took over as chairman of Anglo American Resources, Garvin Raleigh, is presiding over an emergency high-level meeting. "Chairman, more than six old customers have called me and asked me whether the price of coal supply will drop in the future, and another customer almost signed an agreement and chose to wait and see for now." "Chairman, our iron ore business has encountered the same problem..." "Chairman, the copper mining business has also been greatly affected..." "Chairman, today''s stock market opened five minutes, our company¡¯s stock price fell by more than 5%. As of the latest data I know, the drop has reached 12.72%. There are particularly many investors who sell stocks, most of which are institutions. Do we need to repurchase the stock to stabilize the company''s stock price?" "Chairman, before the meeting, I received a call from the vice president of UniCredit. The loan review we are negotiating will take some time..." "..." Each executive quickly reported on the work in their respective fields, and none of them was good news. A swarm of bad news flooded into his mind, and Jarvin Reilly felt a swarm of bees buzzing in his mind, and he was extremely irritable and couldn''t keep calm. v3 Chapter 1481: Blackwater Internationals warning "Be quiet!" Jarvin Raleigh said sharply in a irritable and impatient tone. Soon, the noisy conference room was quiet. "Now that the enemy is uniting to reduce prices to expand production capacity, if we want to not lose market share, we can only follow the price reduction, otherwise customers will soon abandon us." "My idea is to follow the price cut and stabilize the turnover as much as possible. As for the profit margin, I will think of a solution later." After calming down, Jarvin Raleigh''s thoughts became clearer, and after thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice. The high-level people sitting there thought about it, many nodded slightly, agreeing with Jarvin Raleigh''s ideas. There was just an executive who was in charge of the company¡¯s stock price but had to bite the bullet and continue to say: ¡°Chairman, if this is the case, our next financial report will be ugly and it will cause a huge blow to the company¡¯s stock price. Even in the near future, the news is announced. After that, our company¡¯s stock price will continue to plummet." "Should we stabilize the stock price now, or wait until the trough to repurchase the stock?" Another executive immediately said: "Now that we are caught in vicious competition, funds will become very tight. We want to reduce prices while maintaining revenue. We can only increase production capacity. This requires a huge expenditure. Spending a sum of money to repurchase shares has little effect on the company." "Well, I won''t discuss the repurchase of stocks for the time being. I will discuss with those major shareholders separately." Seeing that the dispute was about to fall again, Gavin Raleigh decisively prevented it and made a decision. It''s just that after hearing this, the expressions of the executives in the room were very different, and Xiao Jiujiu started to strike in their hearts. The company uses funds to repurchase stocks, which is good for shareholders. But listening to Garvin Raleigh¡¯s attitude, he wants shareholders to pay to increase their shareholding in the company. This is to make shareholders share the difficulties with the company. This is difficult... It won''t be easy anyway! After all, the shareholders'' money is not brought by the wind. Investors who are already making money by ride-hailing do not have the right to manage and operate the company. Power and responsibility are equal. Without enjoying sufficient benefits and power, they are not necessarily willing to take on greater responsibilities and risks. Rich people are not fools... After the meeting was over, the thoughts of the senior executives were temporarily unified, and they continued to perform their duties well in charge of the work. Gavin Raleigh hurriedly called his old father-in-law Harry Oppenheimer after the meeting. In such a sudden crisis, he could only turn to his old father-in-law who developed Anglo American. . ¡­ "Ellie, is Dad in there?" Returning to the Oppenheimer family, Gavin Raleigh saw the beautiful sister-in-law Ari Oppenheimer in the garden, and he asked. "He is in the living room, but Dad is still angry now." Ellie Oppenheimer picked up the puppy and said helplessly with her mouth pursed. "Is it angry because of something?" Gavin Raleigh, who had just stepped his legs and wanted to walk in, stopped and asked the sister-in-law with scorching eyes. "I heard that there was a problem with De Beers'' mine in South Africa. I''m not sure about the specifics." Ari Oppenheimer said with some uncertainty. Gavin Raleigh''s mood became heavier, and his instinct told him that it was a series of things. "I see, then I will go in first." After all, Gavin Raleigh walked straight into the house. "Garvin, you are here." As soon as he heard the footsteps, Harry Oppenheimer, who was old but not deaf, turned his head and said with a gloomy face when he saw the son-in-law who came in. "Yes." "Dad, I heard that De Beers is in trouble?" After Gavin Raleigh sat down, he asked with concern. Harry Oppenheimer''s anger surged again. He suppressed his anger and said: "Yes, five diamond mines in South Africa and Congo were all attacked by unknown forces, and all the diamonds dug out were looted. Workers suffered heavy casualties and had to stop production." Gavin Reilly stood up in shock when he heard the words: "Dad, how can it be so serious?" "Don''t we have armed forces to defend every mine?" Harry Oppenheimer clenched his fists, and the veins swelled under his old skin. He said in a deep voice: "Listen to the following report. The enemy has used heavy weapons and dispatched armed helicopters. The equipment is very well equipped and the number of people is very large." "Is it an anti-government army or an international mercenary? Should I be able to find it?" Gavin Raleigh asked with a frown. On the African continent, although the power is mixed. But there are not many that can have this kind of strength. If they are willing to investigate, they should be able to find out. Especially in the underground world, news spreads very quickly. Large-scale operations may be kept secret at the time, but there are so many people along the way that they will definitely be known afterwards. "It has been found, there is the shadow of Blackwater International." Harry Oppenheimer said solemnly. "It turned out to be them, this..." Gavin Reilly suddenly changed his face. Although Blackwater International has just appeared for a few years and is an emerging power, it has a strong reputation on the African continent. This apparently is an international security company from the United States, with the support of the US Department of Defense behind it. Not only is the company''s employees all American veterans, but even the equipment is the equipment of the American active-duty forces. In recent years, Blackwater International has been very active in Africa and the Middle East, and it is also known to recognize money but not people. This week it may take orders from the government forces and the next week it may take orders from the opposition. Although Heishui International does not care about affection, its goodwill is very good, and it can get things done properly after receiving the money. It really makes people love and hate. Although many forces gritted their teeth on Blackwater International and want to eliminate it completely, they also know that this is unrealistic. The United States will not allow Blackwater International to be eliminated on the African continent. So even if they know that Heishui International did it this time, they are not good at what to do. Although the United Kingdom also has influence on the African continent, their Oppenheimer family still cannot be as influential as the Blackwater International in their own military. If you ask someone to fight back, it will be hard to please, and you can''t be stable without a lot of money. "Dad, what are you going to do?" Gavin Raleigh asked with concern. Harry Oppenheimer sighed, shook his head in distress and did not answer, but instead asked, "I probably know the news. Tell me about the current situation of Anglo American." Gavin Reilly expounded truthfully: "Dad, now the company..." After listening to Jarvin Raleigh¡¯s explanation, Harry Oppenheimer thought for a long time before asking again: "What about your response?" "I have reduced prices for various business parts and announced an increase in production. I will first stabilize the customers before speaking." "Now I can only hold on and fight hard with the opponent to see who can make it to the end." Gavin Raleigh said with a slight lowered head, quite embarrassed. After all, this kind of inferior strategy of hurting the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred is indeed not very good. "No need to be sorry, at this time, you are the best way to do this." "The enemy has turned the market into a big quagmire. We can only fight with our fists and feet in the quagmire." Harry Oppenheimer patted him on the shoulder and said affirmatively. "Then Dad, UU Reading is now in big trouble with De Beers and Anglo American. We have to think of a solution as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too bad for us, and our capital can''t follow suit. They are consumed." Jarvin Raleigh reminded. But Harry Oppenheimer leaned on the sofa and sighed: "What can be done." "These people are going for the Rohill family, we are just innocently involved." "If the Rohir family does not make a choice, or repel all enemies, our troubles will not be resolved." "Unless we stand up and help the Rohir family repel the enemy." "But the enemy''s warning has been issued, do you think we can stand up?" Hearing this, Jarvin Raleigh thought of the attacks encountered by the De Beers company''s multiple mines. His mouth squirmed a few times, and his belly full of words and aggrieved sighs finally turned into a long sigh. "Hey¡­" v3 Chapter 1482: Rohill: This high hat is not easy to wear! "Dad, if the enemy initiates an acquisition from us, do we really want to sell the equity?" Gavin Raleigh asked unwillingly. After a long silence, Harry Oppenheimer said slowly: "Anglo American and De Beers are the pillar companies that we have been operating for so many years. If we can keep them, we must do our best to keep them." "But it''s the same sentence, it depends on the attitude of the Rohill family." "Of course, we have to choose the first of the three situations where they sell equity, we sell equity, and we all have to sell equity." Gavin Raleigh was taken aback, frowning and thinking for a long time before he looked at Harry Oppenheimer in amazement and asked, "Dad, are you trying to force the Rohill family to make a choice?" Harry Oppenheimer said indifferently, "It''s not about persecution, but about their attitude." "Since the Roshir family has become the affair of our alliance, they have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility at the first time. If they ignore our life and death, do you think we have the obligation to act as a death squad for them?" After that, Harry Oppenheimer gave Jarvin Raleigh a meaningful look. Although it is said that the more critical the moment, the more allies have to stay together to keep warm, otherwise it is easy to be defeated by each. But if the process of holding a group for warmth requires them to burn themselves to warm the Rothier family, then this is not holding a group for warmth, but for self-sacrifice. Between the two choices of one''s own death and the death of others, of course one''s own life is more important! Gavin Raleigh''s face changed a few times, and then he nodded and shouted: "Dad, you are right." "We have to pay, and we have to see if it is worth it!" Harry Oppenheimer nodded silently. "Come with me to visit Jacob Lowhill tonight, and you are ready." "OK." ¡­ That night, Harry Oppenheimer took his son-in-law, Jarvin Raleigh, to the Rothschild family manor. Only when they were led by the servant to the living room, they found that there was already someone in the living room. Except for Jacob Lowhill and Evelyn Lowhill, Harry Oppenheimer''s eyes narrowed the moment he saw the other two people. It turned out to be the head of the Ceylon family and the Barrett family, Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett, two old friends he also knew. It''s just that the identities of these two old friends are also very special, and they are also heavyweights in the British business and European capital circles. Duke Ceylon is the chairman of Rio Tinto Group. Myron Barrett is even more impressive. He is the chairman of the National Bank of Westminster, the top bank in the UK! And most importantly. Rio Tinto Group, like the National Westminster Bank, is not part of the Lowhill family consortium, but it has a deep connection with the Rohill family. The Ceylon family and the Barrett family are both allies of the Rohill family. . With many competitors, Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett can hold the positions of chairman of the two companies respectively, and the support of the Rohill family is indispensable. This is especially true for Myron Barrett. After all, National Westminster Bank is bigger and more complicated than Rio Tinto Group. The National Westminster Bank was formed in 1970 by the merger of three very long-established banks: Westminster Bank, National Regional Bank and Regional Bank in the United Kingdom. The equity of established banks is inherently complicated. Repeated mergers will result in even more chaotic shareholder relations and extremely scattered equity. Even if the ambitious Myron Barrett spent more than ten years continuously increasing his shareholding and became the bank¡¯s largest shareholder, the Barrett family¡¯s shareholding ratio in National Westminster Abbey reached 12.19%. ! With the support of the Lowhill family and other allies, Myron Barrett has always managed the National Westminster Bank well, so the Barrett family has a relatively stable position in the operation of the National Westminster Bank. But now this time is a special period, no operating conditions and capabilities have any effect, the competition is hard power, it is the British pound... Harry Oppenheimer''s thoughts were only a moment. When Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett saw the arrival of Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Raleigh, their minds changed sharply, and then they got up at the same time. "Jacob, Evelyn, good evening!" "Duke, Myron, I didn''t expect you to be there too!" "long time no see!" "Yeah, long time no see, Harry!" "Sit down together and talk." "..." After a brief greeting, Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Raleigh sat on the empty sofa on the left. Although I don''t know to what extent they talked about it before. But Harry Oppenheimer wouldn''t want to listen to it for a while, this choice would only make him suffer. Therefore, before his **** was hot, he looked at Jacob Lowhill and said, "Jacob, we are in trouble. Many mines of De Beers and Anglo American have encountered blackmail. The attack by Water International has suffered heavy losses." "And because competitors are vying to cut prices, ore futures prices have also plummeted, and now we are facing tremendous pressure from market competition." "Moreover, our company is already being shorted by the enemy!" "These troubles, it is difficult for us to solve them by ourselves!" The Roshir family¡¯s intelligence power is not covered, and Jacob Roshir naturally knows the news. It is just such a thorny issue, and he cannot easily express his opinion. Therefore, after pondering for a few seconds, he slowly asked: "Harry, I am very sorry for the trouble you have encountered. It is just that with the strength of the Oppenheimer family, I shouldn''t be powerless to deal with it." Harry Oppenheimer shook his head immediately, and said the reason he thought about in the future: "Jacob, the current social situation in South Africa is not optimistic, and the ethnic movement is getting more and more intense. There has been a huge energy and resources of our family involved, you It should be known too." "What''s more, the strength of Blackwater International in Africa is obvious to all. Where are we their opponents?" Jacob Rohill''s complexion sank, unable to refute. Upon seeing this, Harry Oppenheimer continued: "Now, the enemy has been eyeing De Beers and Anglo American. If we do not have strong countermeasures, then... these two companies will not be guaranteed by the enemy. Take away." Harry Oppenheimer just finished speaking. Duke Ceylon said immediately: "Jacob, Rio Tinto''s crisis is the same as Anglo American''s, and we need sufficient financial support." Evelyn Roshir set his sights on Myron Barrett. But Myron Barrett spread his hands helplessly: "Although National Westminster Bank is one of the top five banks in the UK, it has also lost a large amount of liquidity before." "What''s more, the money you want is not a small amount. Although I am the chairman of the board, it must be discussed by the board of directors. The current situation is that it is very likely that the money you want has not been approved, and I have lost the right The control of the board of directors was even driven down." "So I suggest that everyone support each other for some time first, or strengthen my control over the National Westminster Bank. As long as the crisis of the National Westminster Bank is resolved, it is very simple to want funds at that time. !" "Otherwise, if National Westminster Bank is forcibly acquired by an opponent, then we will be in greater danger!" After speaking, Myron Barrett fixed his sight on Jacob Rohill. Hearing that, Duke Ceylon and Harry Oppenheimer on the side frowned, and they secretly scolded Myron Barrett, the old coin, for being unkind, and they came to this hand. Sure enough, Jacob Rohill seized the opportunity, looked at Duke Ceylon and Harry Oppenheimer, and asked slowly: "Do you think Mellen''s plan is feasible?" Of course not feasible! only. But I don¡¯t know how to refute... at this time. Gavin Raleigh, who hadn''t said a word, suddenly said, "We will think so, and the enemy will certainly think so." "Moreover, by comparison, National Westminster Bank''s equity is the most dispersed, and the difficulty of defending and integration is also the highest." "I''m afraid that the battle for the National Bank of Westminster Abbey will become a protracted battle, so the previous assumptions are really just assumptions." "I think since we are all in the same camp, we shouldn''t give up any ally." Harry Oppenheimer gave his son-in-law an admiring look, and then added: "My son-in-law is right." "Jacob, we must unite at this time." "You have always been leading, this time we still listen to your orders." The heads of Jacob Roshir and Evelyn Roshir suddenly became bigger. The high hat given by Harry Oppenheimer, the old fried dough stick, is not easy to wear! PS: I''m really sorry, I let everyone down, I''ve been off for so long, and now I try my best to recover. ~: 2 tomorrow, I ran in the hospital for 1 day today It¡¯s about personal health, so I went to the hospital today to take a leave of absence and did a whole body. I¡¯m exhausted, take a good rest tonight, and have two more updates tomorrow. Thank you everyone. "Rebirth: The Most Powerful Hero" will be updated twice tomorrow. Today, I ran in the hospital for a day and is hitting my hands. Please wait a moment. After the content is updated, please refresh the page again to get the latest update! v3 Chapter 1483: Good things come! "..." "I already know your difficulties." "In the past so many years, we have been supporting each other, the current crisis seems alarming, in fact, we can still get through." "In these few days, you have to deal with it yourself first. I need to understand the situation of other people and also need time to develop a more complete implementation plan." "There should be a result in three days." After another half an hour of communication, when Harry Oppenheimer and the others were unwilling to leave as if they had roots in their ass, Jacob Rosier could only give one answer and let them go away in peace. After hearing the noise of the engine going away one after another. Evelyn Lowhill looked at Jacob Lowhill and said with a sad expression: "Jacob, this time we have really encountered the biggest crisis since World War II. Now even our allies are Worried that we will not be able to survive the crisis." In the past few decades, this has never happened. How could Evelyn Rohill couldn''t tell that Harry Oppenheimer and others seemed to come to ask for help, but in fact they were trying to find the bottom, and even meant to force the palace. What they worry about is nothing more than that the Rohill family sold them! All allies have this mentality. One can imagine the urgency of the current situation! No outsiders were present, and Jacob Rohill did not hide his emotions. He couldn''t help but sighed, rubbed his temples, and said with some distress, "The enemy caught the opportunity too well..." Evelyn Rohill nodded: "Yes, just take advantage of our defeat in Xiangjiang..." "Okay, don''t talk about the past." Jacob Roshir immediately stopped Evelyn Roshir from mentioning this sad thing again. In the dead of night, Jacob Rohill thought more than once, and he found that every time their Rohill family ended in failure in their plans against Xia Yu. And the loss of the Rohill family is greater than ever! It seemed that the young Chinese was the nightmare of their Rohill family. He reflected on more than once. If at the very beginning, he knew that Xia Yu would have such achievements as he is now, would he have noticed Xia Yu at the very beginning and did not want to control Xia Yu by design, but directly give him Kill it! pity¡­ There is no regret medicine in this world. He could only completely position Xia Yu as an enemy at the same level as David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan, and awakened himself not to make similar mistakes in the future. "Then Jacob, what should we do now?" "The enemy''s targets are not limited to Anglo American, Rio Tinto, National Westminster Bank and other companies. Harry Oppenheimer and others are here. Others will come to us when they get news." "Now we are under great pressure, and many high-level officials have already responded to me, and our funds are also very tight." After Evelyn Rohill was silent for a moment, he asked with a heavy heart. Jacob Rohill closed his eyes and fell into thought. After a long time. He opened his eyes suddenly and said in a cold voice: "This time the enemy is too strong. It is difficult to match us and our allies before." "But the enemy''s strength is too strong, and we are not without opportunities." "The capital structure in Europe has been relatively stable after hundreds of years of evolution." "European countries, including other consortia and families, can accept our existence, but they will certainly not be willing to accept other consortia to rush in and reshuffle the capital." "What''s more, those who want to rush in this time include the two most powerful crocodiles in the world today." "If you really want to let Rockefeller and Morgan come in, we will lose a lot. Others may not have any losses now, but they will definitely be unlucky in the future." "From now on, Europe will always be a vassal of the United States, and European capital will be exploited by American capital!" "If they are willing to accept this result, what about our surrender?" At the end, Jacob Rohill narrowed his eyes. Evelyn Roshir was shocked, his thoughts opened up completely, and a smile appeared on his face. He clenched his fist and said in a straightforward voice: "Jacob, you are so analytically right!" "Enemies such as the Jiuding Consortium, the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium can unite and join forces with our European consortium to attack us." "Then we will win the support of other conservative forces and governments of various countries." "The Single European Act signed by the European Community last year will come into effect soon. The purpose is to achieve a unified large market for the free flow of goods, capital, labor, and personnel before the end of 1992. The next five years will be destined to have the largest market changes. when." "Various consortia and families are full of expectations and worries about the unknown future. If we let a group of giants from outside Europe rush in and kill at this time, our strength will not be able to resist, and not many people can hold it!" The more I said it, the smoother Evelyn Rohill''s thoughts became, and his eyes brightened, as if he had seen the victory of the defensive battle. He has had enough of these days of depression and frustration. Endless pressure has made him sleepless all night. The situation must be reversed as soon as possible! Evelyn Rohill looked at his watch and found that it was already 9:12 in the evening. Although it is a bit late, it is not impossible to hold meetings. So he proposed: "Jacob, do you want to call someone over for a meeting now." "Other family members who can''t make it to you will only answer the meeting by phone." After thinking about it for a while, Jacob Rohill nodded: "Okay, I will notify the family members, and you will also notify the core think tank to attend the meeting." "Yes!" Evelyn Roshir replied loudly. Then he got up and hurried out of the living room. Jacob Rohill also returned to the study, picked up the secret special line, and started the staff notification. There are two flowers and one branch each. Just when the Roshir family conspired urgently. Xia Yu, who was still in Xiangjiang, received Ma Jianmin, the president of Bank of China Xiangjiang and his party at home. This time, Ma Jianmin was just acting as a middleman. Those who came to visit Xia Yu were actually two special people. Qiao Rui, the leader of China Merchants Group, and Liu Fumin, a reformist who has made great achievements in the economic field! "Mr. Xia, hello, I have long wanted to visit you, but I haven''t found a chance, this time I finally got my wish!" Although Qiao Rui is a middle-aged person in her fifties, she speaks very openly and gives people a very comfortable feeling. "Mr. Joe, do you feel like I have one nose and two eyes?" Xia Yu joked. Qiao Rui was taken aback, then laughed, and the others also laughed. This joke of Xia Yu actually narrowed the distance between the two sides, which made Qiao Rui, Liu Fumin and the others sure. "Hurry up inside please!" "..." After arriving in the living room to take a seat, UU reading maid made tea for everyone. Xia Yu asked, "Mr. Qiao, I don''t know what can I do this time?" "I don''t dare to serve, we should be asking you!" Qiao Rui waved his hand and said. Then he put his hands on his knees and said sternly: "Mr. Xia, in fact, this time, he has such a background." "The mainland has been reforming and opening up for so many years, and the results are very gratifying, but there are still some shortcomings." "One of them is the distribution of banks in the mainland. Banks such as Postal Savings, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Agricultural Bank of China all have their own functions." "So the above wanted to start anew and build a new bank!" "Your strength in the banking field is obvious to all, so I was sent to consult with you." Xia Yu''s heart moved, and secretly, this long-awaited opportunity unexpectedly came to the door. v3 Chapter 1484: China Merchants Bank In later generations, China Merchants Bank is definitely the top bank. This bank, established in 1987, has a market value of more than one trillion yuan in later generations, and often ranks second or third in the country. It can be said that China Merchants Bank is recognized as one of the pearl achievements of reform and opening up! The purpose of establishing China Merchants Bank in mainland China, as Qiao Rui said, is to need a bank to serve the reform and opening up. At the same time, I am trying! No way, the big domestic banks are state-owned banks, and profit is not the main purpose. The first responsibility is to complete the tasks and policies of the country. For example, the Agricultural Bank of China is to cooperate with policies in the agricultural sector. ¡® Bank of Communications is for domestic transportation construction. However, China Merchants Bank is different. It is a joint-stock commercial bank whose first goal is to make a profit. The deeper consideration behind this is to use China Merchants Bank as a pilot project to explore the direction of further opening up the mainland banking industry. To experiment, it is natural to ensure success as much as possible, so that the experience summarized in this way is useful and can have a stronger impact. Xia Yu guessed that this was the reason why the above directly sent someone to look for him. Knowing that Gui knows, Xia Yu still has to learn about Qiao Rui and the others with makeup. "Mr. Joe, please tell me, I must know everything." Qiao Rui expressed joy on his face and continued: "Mr. Xia, this bank is designated to fund the establishment of China Merchants Group, and the next one, Liu Fumin Ren, is the proposed person in charge of the bank..." Qiao Rui talked in detail for more than ten minutes, and drank tea a few times in the middle, and finally told Xia Yu the whole situation. And Qiao Rui''s narration also verified Xia Yu''s ideas. The position of China Merchants Bank has been clearly defined. It is to become the first joint-stock commercial bank in mainland China that is wholly owned by a corporate legal person, and it is also the country''s first pilot bank to promote reforms from outside the system. And it also has a unique mission-to contribute to China as a real commercial bank! Of course, these are not the most important to Xia Yu. the most important is! Qiao Rui bluntly proposed to Xia Yu, hoping that Xia Yu could participate in the creation of China Merchants Bank. Xia Yu looked at Ma Jianmin of Xiangjiang Bank of China, and found that his face was as usual, so he looked at Qiao Rui again: "Mr. Qiao, to be honest, I am very surprised and very surprised that the mainland can invite me to participate in the process of establishing China Merchants Bank. Pleasure." "But in business." "You''re welcome, if I participate in China Merchants Bank, then my resources will definitely play a continuous and important role in China Merchants Bank." "Including business management, strategic development, network resources, financial support, etc., there is no problem." "But how much effect it can play depends on how much equity you give me." As soon as Xia Yu''s voice fell, Qiao Rui hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are very reasonable." "This is also taken into account above." "Moreover, it is also clear from the above that you are our best friend, so we can''t make unreasonable appeals to our friends. Everyone should communicate on an equal footing." "So in terms of China Merchants Bank''s equity structure, the above has also done research." "If you can give you 30% of the equity, everyone can invest in proportion to the equity." "The reason why we don''t give more is mainly considering that China Merchants Bank will need to continue external financing in the future. At the same time, there may be stock securitization in the future. This series of actions need to continuously take out equity." Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Mr. Qiao, I understand these, 30% equity is enough." Qiao Rui smiled even more: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your understanding." "I''ll take the liberty to say one more thing." "In fact, you are willing to acquire more equity until later, it is all right, and the above will definitely not deliberately hinder." "Haha, I definitely don''t have any concerns in this regard." Xia Yu smiled and waved his hand. joke. Although China Merchants Bank is a joint-stock commercial bank, even in later generations, state-owned assets together account for less than one-third of its shares, but it is still a state-owned enterprise. Different from a wholly state-owned enterprise, it is a state-controlled commercial bank. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Xia Yu has a clear attitude towards the investment in China Merchants Bank, which is to make money and use it to expand its influence in the mainland. As for controlling it? Xia Yu didn''t even think about it, too lazy to bother. The mainland system is destined to be impossible. With this energy, it is better to wait until the private banks in the future are released before doing so, or to build the Jiuding Bank that has already entered the mainland. "Mr. Qiao, do you think it''s okay?" Xia Yu said to Qiao Rui after taking a sip of tea. "Mr. Xia, please speak!" Qiao Rui sat up straight, looking at Xia Yu solemnly. Xia Yu said slowly: "I asked Jiuding Bank under my control to take a stake in China Merchants Bank. In terms of management experience, Jiuding Bank will not retain China Merchants Bank. If there is anything that Jiuding Bank cannot provide, you can give me feedback. I will do my best if I can call on other slow-down resources to help." "Of course it''s okay, thank you so much." Qiao Rui nodded and said without hesitation. Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "That''s OK." "I''ll let Liu Tianci come over. Everyone will drink tea and wait a while." After that, Xia Yu picked up the phone and called Liu Tianci, asking Liu Tianci to put aside his business and rush over as soon as possible. Ten minutes later, Liu Tianci rushed over in a hurry. Naturally, Liu Tianci was responsible for the subsequent docking, and Xia Yu didn''t need to worry about it. Although the future of China Merchants Bank is broad, as far as it is concerned, it is only a small role. It is only because the mainland has positioned it to give it a different color. In terms of registered capital, China Merchants Bank¡¯s proposed registered capital is RMB 1 billion, while Xia Yu¡¯s Jiuding Bank needs to subscribe 300 million RMB. It''s only 300 million yuan. For Xia Yu, it''s sprinkling water. After Qiao Rui and others left, Xia Yu temporarily left the China Merchants Bank issue behind. Only when he wanted to remotely dispatch plans for Europe. UU reading www.uukanshu. com Huo Jianning came to him with an emergency intelligence. "Chairman, this is an important news from the island country. It is about the railway transportation field of the island country. This is a market survey report compiled over there." "Okay, I''ll take a look first." After receiving the materials, Xia Yu threw out a sentence and flipped through this important piece of information. As soon as he saw the first paragraph, the corners of Xia Yu''s mouth rose slightly. Only after looking down for a long time, Xia Yu''s smile closed again, his expression becoming more and more inexplicable. "Haha~" "The island nation¡¯s Shinkansen has been in operation for more than 20 years, and finally this big piece of cake is about to be divided." "The right wing also wants to take this opportunity to destroy the trade union and the left wing. What they think is pretty beautiful, huh..." v3 Chapter 1485: Plan the island nation’s Shinkansen After drinking two cups of tea, Huo Jianning finally saw that Xia Yu had finished reading the information. He couldn''t help but said: "Chairman, the think tank on the island country has quite a big disagreement on the island country''s railway reform. After the information is obtained, I will directly submit it to you, and I will not give it to the think tank for research for the time being." He also read this information on the way. It is precisely because of watching that Huo Jianning can''t make a judgment. After all, the behemoth of the island national railway is too special, so special that it makes people both greedy and daunting. Just looking at the appearance of Chairman Xia Yu, it seemed that he had made up his mind to intervene in an instant. Xia Yu raised his head slightly, looked at Huo Jianning who was a little bit tangled, and said with a smile: "I feel that the island nation''s national railway has too much debt? Can''t see the dawn of profit?" Huo Jianning nodded suddenly: "Yes, the total debt of 37.1 trillion yen is indeed too much." What is the concept of 37.1 trillion yen in debt? Prior to the signing of the Plaza Agreement in 1985, the U.S. dollar against the yen fluctuated around 250 yen per U.S. dollar. According to this exchange rate, the exchange rate of debt to U.S. dollars was about 148.4 billion U.S. dollars. The Plaza Agreement has been signed for more than a year, and the yen has appreciated substantially. The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the yen has reached around 145 yen per U.S. dollar. According to this exchange rate, the exchange of debt into U.S. dollars is a staggering 255.8 billion U.S. dollars! If this debt is thrown into Latin America and becomes the national debt of Latin American countries, it will definitely blow up a bunch of countries. And this turned out to be just the debt of the national railway company of the island country! Therefore, it was Huo Jianning who knew that Xia Yu was wealthy, and he was very cautious when he saw this huge debt. "Furthermore, Chairman, the island national railway has been operating at a loss since the first Shinkansen line was built in 1964. It has been 20 years since it has risen fifteen times in the middle. The price of the Shinkansen has already faced civil aviation. There is no advantage anymore, so passenger traffic has been declining." "So even if the island national railway is privatized, it will be extremely difficult to operate, and the risk of cost recovery is very high." Huo Jianning couldn''t help but confessed his other worries. "Haha~" Xia Yu chuckled and said without rush: "Jianning, you are right to have this consideration. This debt is indeed amazing." "But you have to think about it. If this debt is still inherited by the divided railway company, then no one can dare to take over." "So the bulk of the 37.1 trillion yen in debt must be divided in multiple ways, and the bulk will eventually have to be passed on to the island government and spread to all islanders." "As for how to share it so as not to arouse resistance from the island people, this is another matter." "All in all, it won''t trouble those consortia, and it won''t trouble us." "What we have to do is to grab the best-quality railway company after the division and assume less debt." "The routes of the three major metropolitan areas in the prosperous area are definitely profitable. As for the Shinkansen in Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, the Shinkansen will definitely lose money, and it will be difficult to operate even if there is no debt..." The island nation¡¯s Shinkansen is the world¡¯s first commercial high-speed rail, with strong technical strength. It has been the world¡¯s number one throne for many years. In the future generations, it will still be the world¡¯s top three. Therefore, Xia Yu has a lot of knowledge about the island nation¡¯s Shinkansen. He knew that the island nation¡¯s national railway was divided into eleven companies in the previous life. They are the six passenger transport companies of the East Island, the East China Sea, the West Island, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, as well as the national freight company, the railway communication company, the railway information system company, the comprehensive railway technology research institute, and the Shinkansen passenger railway holdings responsible for handling debts Organize these 5 companies. Among the six passenger transport companies. The three freight companies of East Island, East China Sea and West Island are called Honshu Sanshes. The three passenger transport companies of Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu are called Mishima Clubs. The three companies in Honshu cover the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Osaka metropolitan area and the Nagoya metropolitan area. These three metropolitan areas radiate outward. Because of the large passenger flow and the valuable land occupied, privatization has turned losses into profits in a few years, and easily reached 100 billion. The profit of the yen. On the contrary, the Mishima Club is a history of blood and tears. Actually. Railroads can only make money in areas with high population density. In large areas with sparsely populated areas, construction and maintenance costs are high, but revenue is very low, making it difficult to make profits. Just like the later generations of China, whether high-speed rail or subway, most of the lines are loss-making, and they are supported by the state. Most of the lines are not for making money at all, but for national economic and political considerations. But for Xia Yu, the politics and people''s livelihood of an island country is a matter for him. He only needs a railway company to increase the strength and influence of his consortium. Huo Jianning understood, he thought for a while and said: "The chairman, are we going to directly participate in the design of the island national railway division?" Xia Yu nodded immediately: "Of course you need to. You can arrange this. With our influence in the island country, it is not difficult to eat the biggest piece of cake!" "Show me the results at regular intervals later." "clear!" Subsequently, Huo Jianning retreated with Xia Yu''s instructions. ¡­ On the European continent. The major consortia''s offensive against the Rohill Consortium and its allies was fierce. Of course, this fierceness only describes the scale of business and economic warfare, and there are many and complicated battles. But actually. The war can be said to be overwhelming. Even in the heyday of the Rohill Consortium in the past two years, either the Morgan Consortium or the Rockefeller Consortium can single it out. The Rohill Consortium has to rely on some local advantages to ensure that it does not lose. And among the consortiums that attacked this time, the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan consortium, the Mellon consortium, the Sumitomo consortium and the Jiuding consortium, whichever one of the strengths is considered to be the world''s top level. In addition, a bunch of international hot money moving after hearing the wind followed the autumn breeze. The strength of this offensive team is called a tough one. The defender, however, planted a big somersault on the capital market of Xiangjiang not long ago, causing serious damage to various strengths. Now it is the mud bodhisattva who cannot protect themselves by crossing the river. So that the offensive has new gains every moment. Because only extremely good companies will be looked at by hunters, and good companies are pillars in the stock markets of various countries. UU reading www.uuk£ánshu.com So soon, the stock markets of various countries became a mess and became irregular, and all major authoritative securities analysis institutions were unable to analyze the correct trend. The violent volatility of the stock market has also had a significant impact on the foreign exchange and futures markets. The three cities have interacted with each other, making the entire capital market completely confused. There are transactions happening all the time, and the existence of countless shell companies makes it impossible to grasp the equity information and position information. Just two days! Bright Fund has already acquired a bunch of shares of various companies. The most conspicuous among them are the 24.18% equity interest of National Westminster Bank and the 19.27% ??equity interest of Anglo American. And after two days of emergency communication and contact. It was finally made up by the Rohill family... ~: Happy New Year! Ladies and gentlemen, Lao Huang wishes you New Year''s greetings! I wish you all the best in the year of the tiger, and the whole family is safe and happy! Work went smoothly! Life is full of beauty! Business is booming! Happy Year of the Tiger! Safe and smooth! Happy New Year from Rebirth of the Most Powerful!

At the foot of the Alps, in a private estate by Lake Wolfgang in Austria. Liszt Rothier stood at the door of the villa and looked at his watch. In less than a minute, he saw two cars approaching from the gate in the distance, and he suddenly showed a smile. Soon, the car drove in front of him, and after the door opened, a man in his fifties with blond hair came out. "His Royal Highness, you are welcome." Liszt Rothier greeted him with a smile on his face. Victor Hohenzollern smiled back and said, "Mr. Liszt, call me Victor. I''m really sorry for keeping you waiting." "Okay, Mr. Victor, in fact, you came just right." Lister Rothier said with a smile without being obstinate. After the defeat in World War I, Wilhelm II of Germany abdicated. Although he retained the title of King of Prussia, he also passed on the throne to the Hohenzollern family, and was recognized by various European royal families and governments. However, the Kingdom of Brandenburg-Prussia is not a complete kingdom after all. Unlike countries such as Britain, the Netherlands and Spain, it is okay not to call the prince in informal or public occasions. "Is Mr. Jacob in there?" asked Victor Hohenzollern. "Yes." Lister Rothier nodded. "Who else is there?" Victor Hohenzollern asked with a smile and nod. "And Gani Agnelli, Peter Wallenberg, Karl Frick, and Salon Francisco." Lister Rosier immediately knew. Victor Hohenzollern frowned slightly and couldn''t help but glance at Liszt Rothier. It was normal for the first three to come here, but he didn''t expect that the Rothier family even invited Saron Francisco, which made him unable to help thinking. It seemed that the pressure on the Rothier family was greater than expected, otherwise they would not have invited Saron Francisco over. He knew that the Francisco family had a bad relationship with the Jews in the past. Unable to allow Victor Hohenzorendo to think about it, at the invitation of Liszt Rothier, the two walked inside together. Sure enough, after entering, I saw everyone chatting. Seeing Victor Hohenzollern coming in, Jacob Rothier and others also got up, and after a while, everyone took their seats. Except for the Rothier family, Jacob Rothier, and Liszt Rothier, the head of the Rothier family''s Austrian branch, everyone else is here alone, with bodyguards and assistants outside. The seven people sitting around actually represent the forces of the six parties. Each of them is a top European leader, a person who can shake a country''s economy by stomping his feet. Not to mention Victor Hohenzollern. The Hohenzollern family ruled Prussia to Germany for more than 500 years. Although they were transferred out of Germany to protect themselves after World War I, they returned to Germany after World War II. It was the German consortium. One of the core families. Karl Frick, the patriarch of the Frick family, whose father once built a steel giant that surpassed Thyssenkrupp, the Frick family is closely related to the two wars in Germany, although the Frick family It was damaged by the fall of the Third Reich, but the Frick family also relied on Austria, a neutral country to transfer most of its assets. After the war, it re-invested and re-emerged in West Germany, and its influence spread throughout West Germany, Austria, and Sweden. other countries. Peter Wallenberg, comparable to the Swedish royal family in Sweden, is the patriarch of an invisible family that adheres to the motto of "exist but not visible". Peter Wallenberg, who took over the behemoth Wallenberg family from his father in 1982, is a reformer. Gani Agnelli, the industrial godfather of Italy and the patriarch of the Agnelli family, took over the Agnelli family from his grandfather in 1966. Under his leadership, the family''s pearl Fiat group expanded wildly and became A super group whose business covers automobiles, aviation, telecommunications, insurance, finance, newspapers and magazines and other fields. The tentacles of the Agnelli family also spread in various fields, and are known as "the folk royal family of Italy"! As for the last Salon Francisco. Compared with the other families sitting, the Francisco family is the least profound, and it is a nouveau riche. But whether it is jealousy or disdain, it is undeniable that the Francisco family is indeed qualified to sit at a table with them now. Although the cousin of Salon Francisco died in 1975, the legendary figure helped Germany invade Hongsu, and after World War II took the regent and appointed the current king of Spain as the heir to the throne. In the post-European environment, dictatorship ruled Spain for decades. For decades, even a pig can be fed round and round, let alone a family. In terms of the amount of capital, the Francisco family can be said to be the first family in Spain! However, because of the death of Franco Francisco, the influence of the Francisco family in the Spanish army declined, and some people were tempted to launch a failed military coup six years ago. The influence of the Francisco family in the two military and political terms fell to the lowest point. The major families in Spain that have been suppressed for decades, as well as the newly rising ambitions, naturally covet the huge wealth of the Francisco family. The situation that this pack of wolves looked around put a lot of pressure on Salon Francisco, and he had to madly find a way to combine vertical and horizontal lines to deter the enemies, both in the dark and in the dark. So this time, in the face of the invitation from the Rothier family, even though he knew there was a certain risk, Salon Francisco resolutely came to Austria for the reward after his success. ¡­ "It''s time, it looks like there''s no one else left?" Gani Agnelli looked at the ancient wall clock on the wall. The time had passed the agreed three o''clock in the afternoon. He looked at Jacob Rosier and said slowly. Jacob Rothier said with a relaxed expression: "Maybe other people have something to delay." "But it doesn''t matter, the most powerful group of people in Europe are already sitting here, and that''s enough." Although I knew it was exaggerated flattery, the people sitting couldn''t help but smile. "Then let''s begin." "Jacob, let everyone hear your thoughts together." Peter Wallenberg moved his **** back, changed to a more comfortable position, and looked at Jacob Rothier with burning eyes. After Jacob Rothier looked around, he stopped wasting time, and said solemnly: "Everyone, it is undeniable that our family is indeed facing huge difficulties now, and there is an idea of ????relieving the pressure for us to invite everyone to come. " "But more importantly, I want to maintain the pattern that belongs to Europe." "Europe belongs to our Europe. After the war, Europe is a mess, and it is impossible to become a vassal of the United States. UU Reading " "But decades later, European countries have regained most of their power, and Europe has reached a critical moment of renaissance." "We''ve managed to keep Rockefeller and Morgan, as well as other American consortiums out, all these years before." "This time, if they are allowed to successfully enter, then Europe will not have to think about rejuvenation. The United States can plunder in Europe. In the face of those consortiums in the United States and those emerging powers in Asia, the economic and social order in Europe is still ours. Is it okay?" "We will lose the ability to resist!" "So today I call everyone to discuss, there is only one issue, how to defend our Europe!" PS: First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone. Because of family and work reasons, I have been interrupted for so long. I am really sorry for everyone. Now I am starting to get back the feel and resume the update. In the past, the update was often unstable, mainly because of work reasons, but in any case, this book must be completed smoothly, and it will not be unfinished! v3 Chapter 1487: we act as white knights Gani Agnelli had already lit a cigar as Jakob Rosier narrated. He took a sharp breath and exhaled a ring of smoke, and Jacob Rothier''s words were affirmative. "Jacob is right, Europe is our Europe!" Peter Wallenberg said slowly: "This is definitely true, but everyone is watching the current situation." "The Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, Mellon Consortium, North Star Consortium and other forces in the United States have launched a fierce attack, and other American consortiums have also stepped in." "These consortium capital in the United States alone is enough to compete with the whole of Europe before us." "The Sumitomo Consortium in the island country and the Jiuding Consortium in East Asia are not inferior to the top ten consortia in the United States." ¡°And now there are dozens of top-tier financial institutions that are seriously undermined.¡± "Fighting is still taking place within Europe. We want to prevent the enemy from entering, which is very difficult and risky!" In the end, Peter Wallenberg couldn''t help but glance at Jacob Rosier, the meaning couldn''t be more obvious. Although the capital markets of other countries in Europe are also in chaos, there is still a degree. The most serious is the United Kingdom. The forces headed by the Bright Foundation, the Howard family, and the Chinese business consortium are constantly fighting capital wars with the Rothier family, and other family consortia are actively or forced to participate. London is also one of the financial centers in Europe, and many European companies are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The British capital and financial markets were in chaos, and the war inevitably spread everywhere. The source is actually in the Rohir family! "Yeah, strong fortresses are often the first to be broken from the inside!" Karl Frick couldn''t help but sigh. Although everyone intentionally or unintentionally said that it was the responsibility of the Rothier family, Jacob Rothier was not angry or justified. Instead, he expressed his opinion quite agreeably: "Everyone is right, now there are external contradictions and internal contradictions coexisting." "With our strength weakened, we must first focus on finding a breakthrough point." "My idea is to resolve internal conflicts first, eliminate a few leading traitors, and other forces will not dare to wait and see. Only after we integrate the strength of Europe can we fight a protracted war with external enemies." "We have local advantages. Over time, governments of various countries will definitely be able to formulate protection policies, and the enemy will definitely retreat slowly." Everyone is not stupid, how can they not hear the meaning of Jacob Rothier''s words? Jiayou Agnelli''s tone was a little low, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "Jacob, if the Bright Consortium was destroyed so easily, your Jacob family would have wiped it out long ago." "Let''s not talk about other things now, the Bright Fund raised nearly 13 billion pounds half a month ago, plus the original liquidity, conservatively 15 billion pounds, and then annexed S¡¤G¡¤Warburg. The company''s investment banking business has further strong capital." "Not to mention first-class banks such as HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Chinese Commercial Bank, and Barings Bank under the Bright Consortium." "A consortium with tens of billions of pounds of liquidity in hand, what are we going to do to eliminate it? By saliva?" Victor Hohenzollern couldn''t help but snarled: "Yes, throughout history, I have never seen a company collapsed with extremely abundant capital. This is unrealistic." "I think, any of us here, in terms of cash flow, can''t compare to the Bright Consortium now!" "The foundation of the Guangming Consortium is already very deep. To fight them, we are going to fight a protracted war, and it is a protracted war in which neither side has a policy advantage." "Of course, I''m not completely opposed to Jacob''s opinion, and resolving internal conflicts should indeed be a priority." "It''s just that I think we should focus on alleviating conflicts and integrating forces as much as possible." "This time it''s us people discussing here, and I hope the number of people will grow by leaps and bounds next time." After listening to Victor Hohenzollern''s opinion, everyone started to think. After thinking for a moment, Saron Francisco couldn''t help but say, "Then let''s integrate some companies first?" Swish! Everyone looked at him. Facing the eyes of everyone, Saron Francisco felt uncomfortable, the corners of his mouth couldn''t help twitching, and he said embarrassingly, "Or think of another way?" "Do not!" Jacob Rosier narrowed his eyes and shook his head. When Saron Francisco was blinded, he only heard Jacob Rosier continue: "In fact, we should compete with the enemy to integrate power, such as mergers and acquisitions of some companies, to strengthen our power." Peter Wallenberg seemed a little hesitant, because he had just taken over the family for more than four years, and he already had a relatively clear direction for the family''s development strategy, which is currently being implemented. Of course, he is also envious of some companies, and he knows that this is a very rare opportunity, but he is worried that the step is too big, which will affect the original plan of the family and bring more unknown risks. On the contrary, Gani Agnelli showed a smile and was very supportive of Jacob Rosier''s attitude: "In the attack on Hong Kong alone, more than 20 financial institutions were seriously damaged, and now they are all in In a crisis, these institutions are first-class institutions nationally or European-wide.¡± "Bright Fund''s annexation of S.G. Huabao''s investment banking business has made Bright Fund''s strength soar." "If other institutions are also successfully acquired by the enemy, especially the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium, then relying on the foundation of these institutions in Europe, the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium will soon be able to stabilize the front line, which is absolutely a disaster for us!" "Now these institutions are still vigorously resisting, but they are already at an absolute disadvantage." "If we show up as white knights, I think these institutions will definitely welcome us." "and!" "We must act fast, otherwise more and more shareholders of those institutions will surrender, but if they are acquired by us, their confidence will be completely different!" After listening to the others, their expressions changed. You must know that companies such as Cerberus Capital Corporation, Schroders Group, Dutch Deep Sea Fund, etc., are many old-fashioned financial institutions with a history of more than 100 years. The equity held by these institutions is called a miscellaneous. Perhaps an institution holds too few shares to pose a threat to a company''s ownership, nor enough leverage. But if the equity in the hands of these institutions is integrated, UU Kanshu would be amazing! If these institutions are all taken over by the enemy like S.G. Warburg, as long as the enemies exchange and integrate equity with each other, many top European companies will be unlucky, dragged into the flames of war, and burned to their backyards inside. And if these institutions are taken down by their own side, then there are simply not too many. For example, the control of the Rothier family and the Agnelli family over many companies will greatly increase, and there will be new expansions, and the defensive front and firepower will also increase. only¡­ "Ghani, your reasoning is correct, but if we take out funds for mergers and acquisitions, even if we successfully acquire some institutions, our liquidity will not necessarily increase, and may even decrease." "Our comprehensive combat effectiveness will not necessarily improve, the defensive front will be further stretched, and we may even face more risks!" Peter Wallenberg raised his concerns. v3 Chapter 1488: Equity in Rothschild Investment Bank Remember [New] for a second,! "Peter, this risk is avoidable." "Our current funds have to be used prudently, so we can take the form of capital increase and share exchange to make mergers and acquisitions." Gani Agnelli blew out the smoke ring lightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth. This way of mergers and acquisitions can be seen from the literal meaning. The acquiring company adopts the method of issuing new shares to replace the stock of the target company, so as to achieve the purpose of acquisition. This way of mergers and acquisitions has obvious advantages. It does not need to pay a large amount of cash, so the company''s working capital will not be squeezed, and the financial pressure of the merger and acquisition company will be effectively relieved. Of course, there is no need for shareholders to inject capital. This method of mergers and acquisitions is very suitable for mergers and acquisitions between giants. But there are also disadvantages. The most direct is that the newly issued shares have changed the equity structure of the merged party''s crude oil, resulting in the "dilution" of shareholders'' rights and interests, which may make the original shareholders lose control over the company. So Peter Wallenberg questioned: "Even if the strength of these institutions has been damaged and the market value has fallen, they are top institutions after all. Mergers and acquisitions in this way will have a huge impact on our original companies." "Our original company is still fine, don''t let the enemy directly enter our interior, it will be troublesome!" At this time. Jacob Rothier retorted in a timely manner: "Peter, your consideration is indeed reasonable, but I don''t think you will make such an irrational choice." "The Wallenberg family has a lot of assets and should be able to choose a company that is suitable as the subject of mergers and acquisitions." "and." "We should all have the ability to make internal asset adjustments to avoid this risk." The others nodded slightly in agreement. Peter Wallenberg frowned, hesitating for a moment or giving up the argument. "Well, Jacob, you''re right." After persuading Peter Wallenberg, Jacob Rosier looked at the others again. Seeing that no one had any further comments, he smiled and said, "Then, let''s discuss a specific implementation plan." "After all, there are more than 20 institutions affected..." ¡­ In fact. The failure of the attack on Hong Kong has had an increasingly serious impact on many financial institutions in Europe over time. After the dividends and fundraising of the Bright Fund, and the exposure of the core executives of s.g Huabao, the investors of these institutions have been losing. While trying their best to reduce the loss of funds and stabilize investors, they also have to face hostile takeovers and attacks from the enemy. The management of these institutions is very busy every day. This afternoon, Steve Calvin had just finished a high-level meeting when he received a call from Jacob Rosier. After a while of conversation, he was exhausted and drove to Rosier, a suburb of London. Family Castle. Half an hour later, Steve Calvin met Jacob Rosier. "Mr. Jacob, what''s the solution you''re talking about?" Before he could sit down, Steve Calvin asked in a hurried tone, his eyes fixed on Jacob Rosier. For more than 20 days, he hadn''t slept well and often woke up in the middle of the night. The enormous pressure caused him to lose a single blond in his almost white hair, the wrinkles on his face doubled, and the facial muscles seemed to have lost their elasticity. This completely different appearance from more than a month ago made Evelyn Rothier on the side silent. "Mr. Steve, sit down and talk." After asking him to sit down, Jacob Rothier asked succinctly: "Mr Steve, now that Cerberus Capital is facing a hostile takeover from Morgan Stanley, did you know that they have now acquired How much equity do you have?" Steve Calvin was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "I''m already asking people to investigate, but it''s hard to find out the results." "But I just had a phone call with all the major shareholders this morning, and if they hadn''t lied to me, Morgan Stanley would have managed to acquire no more than 15 percent." Jacob Rosier nodded slightly, and said after a moment of indulgence: "But as far as I know, there are already many major shareholders who have not explicitly rejected Morgan Stanley." Steve Calvin''s face sank, his heart was both angry and powerless, and he said in a low tone: "Maybe." Cerberus Capital was established by his father and his partners, and later passed to him. Now their Calvin family only holds 21.47% of the company''s equity. This shareholding ratio is actually relatively high among financial companies. With the prestige of the Calvin family, it is also possible to obtain the support of other shareholders to achieve control of Cerberus Capital Corporation. But in the face of the overlord Morgan Stanley, it is another matter. What''s more, the company had just experienced a tragic failure under his leadership. "Mr. Jacob, please clarify your thoughts directly." Steve Calvin, who was in a bad mood, didn''t want to talk about these useless things, looked directly at Jacob Rosier, and said in a deep voice. Jacob Rothier said slowly: "We are willing to be white knights." Steve Calvin''s face changed greatly, his brows were wrinkled, and he stared at Jacob Rosier, and a burst of anger rose in his heart. "You want to annex Cerberus Capital, too!" When he received a call from Jacob Roshir, he had a lot of expectations in his heart. On the way, he kept guessing how the Roshir family might help him. Unexpectedly, this "help" turned out to be an acquisition! It''s so funny! Seeing Steve Calvin getting angry, Jacob Rosier''s face became solemn, and he said: "Mr. Steve, we are different from Morgan Stanley!" Steve Calvin sneered: "What''s the difference?" "Are the prices different?" "Or still let me run the company after the acquisition?" After he finished speaking, he leaned on the sofa and looked at Jacob Rosier like that, trying to see what reason he could say. Jacob Rothier looked at him sincerely: "Are you willing to leave the company you and your father paid for with a sum of money?" Steve Calvin did not speak, UU reading www.uukanshu. com, but his mood calmed down, he heard the strangeness in Jacob Rosier''s words, and he was willing to continue listening. "Morgan Stanley has acquired Cerberus Capital, and will definitely find a way to remove the traces of your Calvin family, otherwise John Chris Morgan will not be at ease." "So if they do successfully hostile takeovers, you have only two options, either take a sum of money and leave, or you will hold an equity stake and be drained a little bit." "And we''re different, I won''t take money to humiliate you." "As long as you accept our acquisition, your equity will become more valuable, and your influence will only be stronger." "because!" "You can choose to exchange shares, and the exchange is the equity of Rothschild Investment Bank!" As soon as Jacob Rosier finished speaking, Steven Calvin immediately sat up straight, with a look of disbelief on his face. v3 Chapter 1489: Kirin Capital Fundraising "Mr. Jacob, are you sure you are replacing the equity of Rothschild Investment Bank?" Steve Calvin looked very serious, his eyes fixed on Jacob Rosier. Jacob Rothier nodded calmly: "I''m pretty sure what I''m talking about." After listening to this, Steve Calvin felt very complicated, took a sip of coffee to calm down, and said inexplicably: "I didn''t expect that you would be willing to take out the equity of this company. If the news is exposed, I believe It will be unbelievable for a lot of people.¡± "Maybe, it will make many people have ideas that they shouldn''t have." Jacob Rothier heard the meaning of Steve Calvin''s words. He smiled and explained calmly: "Mr. Steve, if someone really thinks that our Rothier family has been seriously damaged, he will regret it." Steve Calvin didn''t speak any more, leaning back on the sofa and pondering fiercely. Their Calvin family holds a 21.47% stake in Cerberus Capital, and the Calvin family does not have much assets other than this asset, so they cannot support their increased stake. And in this case, I believe that no bank would dare to provide him with a large mortgage loan. Ask yourself, he can''t resist Morgan Stanley''s attack. He has no confidence to hold on! If Cerberus Capital is controlled by Morgan Stanley, he will end up as Jacob Rothschild says. And the roots of the Calvin family are in Europe after all... After thinking for a long time. Steve Calvin had already made a decision in his mind, he sat up straight again and looked at Jacob Rosier. The latter showed a smile when he saw this, and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Steve, how are you thinking?" "In principle, I do not agree, but the price must be appropriate." Steve Calvin said solemnly. Jacob Rothier nodded and promised without hesitation: "Of course, none of us can suffer." "You can even get more!" There is no free lunch in the world! Steve Calvin immediately asked: "Then what do I need to pay?" "Convince as many shareholders as possible to agree to our merger," said Jacob Rothier. "The lower the price, the higher the commission you get, and the commission can be exchanged for equity." "As for the value of your equity, it will be calculated separately." Of course, Steve Calvin will not refuse this kind of self-serving thing. What''s more, he couldn''t afford it. "Of course, no problem." "So, let''s talk about the valuation of the two companies first..." ¡­ "Good guy, John Chris Morgan is probably full of anger right now!" Xiangjiang, Xia Yu looked at the news from London and couldn''t help shaking his head and laughing. It''s just that Xia Yu admired the efficiency of the Rothschild family. From the public opinion, it can be seen that in the face of the sudden attack of Rothschild Investment Bank, Cerberus Capital Company seems to be very cooperative, and it has a very intentional appearance. And Cerberus Capital''s response was swift. The board of directors has initially passed the resolution to be acquired by Rothschild Investment Bank. As a result, Morgan Stanley was caught off guard. As far as this situation is concerned, Xia Yu is no longer optimistic about Morgan Stanley''s plan to acquire Cerberus Capital. In the case that both parties have reached an agreement at the top. Unless John Chris Morgan is willing to pay a very high price, rush to buy the equity of some shareholders of Cerberus Capital, and then forcefully interrupt the process of the merger of Rothier Investment Bank and Cerberus Capital, and then in chaos Under the situation, slowly figure it out. Only in this way, an acquisition war that should have been launched in a lightning manner turned into a quagmire war. In today''s European capital market situation, this is undoubtedly the last resort. How to choose depends on whether John Chris Morgan can swallow this breath for the time being. "Forget it, the grievances between Morgan and the Rothier family are over, let them go." "I''d better take care of myself first." "Intelligence shows that the local capital in Europe has already begun to resist, and the pace of action must be accelerated." Glancing over the intelligence, Xia Yu''s expression became slightly solemn when he saw the actions of the German consortium, the Agnelli family and other forces. According to his original strategy, if he wanted to expand his influence in Europe, he would have to deal with the original old-fashioned forces. But now many forces have obviously run to the same line with the Rohir family, which means that others have already made a choice for him. That being the case, it also saves him wasting time and energy. Just do it directly, and kill anyone who dares to stop it! Xia Yu picked up the phone and dialed George Berkeley. Soon, the phone was connected. "Hey, George... All acquisitions are speeding up, especially for the Schroders Group''s acquisition, it must not fail..." After telling George Berkeley, Xia Yu hung up the phone. He picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea when a knock on the door suddenly sounded. "Please come in!" After the door opened, Wang Qi''s figure was revealed. "Chairman, the results of fundraising have come out!" As soon as he came over, Wang Qi went straight to the topic. Xia Yu showed a smile and asked curiously, "How many tens of billions of funds have been raised?" Wang Qi said and handed the fundraising statistics to Xia Yu: "Chairman, the 7 newly established funds have all set their fundraising quotas, a total of 60 billion Hong Kong dollars!" "For our fundraising this time, the enthusiasm of investors is very high, and it has also attracted some national-level social security institutions and sovereign funds to come. If we hadn''t set a quota limit, this time I am confident that the fundraising will exceed 1,000. billion Hong Kong dollars!" Xia Yu scolded with a smile: "You need to eat one bite at a time. Although Kirin Capital Company had a good record last year, there is still a shortage of mid-to-high-end elites. It is not a good thing to eat too much." "You''re right!" Wang Qi said, licking his face. Xia Yu ignored him and read the fundraising report. This time, Kirin Capital has newly established seven funds, namely Kirin Bond No. 3, Kirin Bond No. 4, Kirin Hang Seng Index No. 3, Kirin Hang Seng Index No. 4, Kirin Tianyi Hybrid No. 3, Kylin Tianyi Hybrid No. 4 and Kirin Global Select No. 1! The first six funds are backed by old brands, and they are highly sought after by investors when the original six old funds were not open for fundraising. However, taking into account the current size of the Xiangjiang stock market and some follow-up plans, Xia Yu did not allow the opening of fundraising, but gave a limited amount, and stopped fundraising when it was full. Unlike last year''s first fundraising, the fundraising was accepted without restrictions before the deadline. This time, six funds other than Kirin Global Select No. 1 raised a total of 45 billion Hong Kong dollars! The Kirin Global Select Fund No. 1 raised HK$15 billion, targeting capital markets other than Hong Kong. For Kirin Capital, this Kirin Select Fund No. 1 is the most important business target this year. After reading the fundraising report, Xia Yu put it on the table. "Wang Qi, the first step of Kylin Capital has been very good. The second step is to prove to investors that Kylin Capital can not only do a good job in the Hong Kong market, but can still create brilliant achievements in global investment." "If this step is done well, Kirin Capital will be able to develop by leaps and bounds next year." Hearing Xia Yu''s words, Wang Qi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Chairman, I understand what you mean!" Xia Yu nodded slightly: "Don''t worry, UU reading has a good chance this year." "You pick your investment goals as soon as possible, spend the money first, and then I will notify you when the time comes." Wang Qi was taken aback for a moment. Although he was curious, he did not ask any further questions. He nodded: "Okay, I will speed up the construction of overseas branches to ensure that there are sufficient staff at that time." "Um!" "You go to work first." "Okay! Chairman, I won''t bother you anymore." After all, Wang Qi left Xia Yu''s office. After Xia Yu drank a cup of tea, he cleaned up the documents on the desktop, among which the fundraising report was thrown directly into the shredder. As for the information about Europe, he looked at it again, and his eyes stayed on the Francisco family in Spain and the Wallenberg family in Sweden for a while, and then threw the information into the shredder. v3 Chapter 1490: Let go! London, England. George Berkeley was also keenly aware of the changing situation. In addition, he received an order from Chairman Xia Yu. He immediately called his subordinates to discuss the adjustment plan, and released the authority more vigorously, even if it would increase the cost! But at this time, in order to complete the acquisition target as soon as possible, it is also not possible to care about some financial gains and losses. The most important thing is to get the company you want as soon as possible! ¡­ The reason why Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to acquire the Schroders Group had certain considerations. In the past, more than 20 European institutions have cooperated to short the Xiangjiang capital market. Although Schroders Group is not the largest contributor, it is also in the first array. And compared with other institutions, the Schroeder Group is also the most familiar with Xiangjiang, and can be called the vanguard of the Air Force regiment! In 1971, Schroders Group established a subsidiary, Baoyuan Investment Management (Xiangjiang) Company, with the goal of being based in Hong Kong and radiating to Asia. Relying on the complex network of relationships accumulated by the Schroders Group for more than 170 years, as well as its solid strength, Baoyuan Investment Management Co., Ltd. has developed rapidly. Baoyuan Investment Management Co., Ltd. can be seen in the ranks of shareholders of major British-funded companies in Hong Kong and even many Chinese-funded companies. For example, China Electric Power Company, which was acquired by Xia Yu before, is one of the major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares. In the past few years, when Xia Yu hunted the British consortium, he had a lot of dealings with Baoyuan Investment Management Company, and he also made a lot of money. If there is no intervention from Xia Yu, then according to the normal trajectory, the capital managed by Baoyuan Investment Management Company in later generations will exceed 150 billion US dollars! The amount of capital under management alone accounts for more than half of the entire Schroders Group. Although because of Xia Yu, many potential companies and markets in Xiangjiang and even in Asia have been occupied by the Jiuding Consortium. As a result, the development of Baoyuan Investment Management Company has been affected. However, it is undeniable that this subsidiary, which has been developing for more than ten years, still has a strong influence in Asia and is an important subsidiary of Schroders Group. Baoyuan Investment Management Company is in the hands of the Schroeder family, but Xia Yu is not worried. But if Schroders Group and Baoyuan Investment Management are taken over by the Rothschild family, or other top European families, then something can still be done. Although it is impossible to give Xia Yu a big threat, it is okay to make Xia Yu upset enough to involve energy. Therefore, Xia Yu naturally wanted to clean up such a hidden danger. Of course, this is not the main reason why he is eyeing the Schroeder Group. the main consideration. It is the Schroeder Group that not only has a deep influence in the UK, but also has a considerable influence in West Germany. After all, the Schroeder Group was first established in Hamburg, Germany. Although the headquarters was later moved to the United Kingdom, the German market has not been abandoned. It can be said that in Europe, the West German market is the second focus of the Schroders Group. And this is what Xia Yu values ??most! only. For the acquisition of this company, the implementation was not so smooth. Even if he did it, it was Curtis Dubois, the acquisition expert who successfully won the investment banking business of G¡¤S¡¤Warburg! Curtis Dubois hurried to the outside of George Berkeley''s office, knocked on the door and walked in. George Berkeley in the house frowned when he saw his serious expression. "Curtis, things are not going well?" Curtis Dubois sat down on the stool opposite George Berkeley, calmed his breath, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Eric Schroeder''s attitude has changed dramatically." "His resistance attitude was very firm before, but his attitude has softened today. I thought there was hope, but they were talking about some useless content." "I noticed something was wrong, and it was only after an investigation that it turned out that there was a spoiler. Eric Schroeder met with Saran Francisco!" "Now Salon Francisco is trying to buy the equity of Schroeder Group with the help of Eric Schroeder!" George Berkeley sat up suddenly, his expression very serious. As the president of Bright Fund, he is very clear about the helms of major European consortium families. Unexpectedly, the day before, he also felt that the Rothschild family had come out, and in the mouth of the Morgan family, they had taken the Cerberos Capital Company. The next day, the Francisco family came to grab food from them! It''s okay to take it lightly when watching the fun, but if the same thing happens to you, it''s annoying. What''s more, another subordinate just came to report another bad news to him. The Wallenberg family was killed and intervened in the Bright Fund''s acquisition of the National Westminster Bank. Two prey in a row are targeted by others, really think that their Bright Fund is muddy! Think of this. George Berkeley''s eyes flickered with cold light, and he ordered coldly: "Curtis, since there are enemies blocking our plan, just use money to smash all the shareholders of Schroeder Group." "Before the Schroeder family wakes up, try to get as much equity as possible and go in forcefully." "At that time, directly threaten Eric Schroeder. If he does not surrender, we would rather destroy the Schroeder Group. If we can afford this price, it depends on whether he can afford it!" Curtis Dubois froze in his heart, his face changed greatly, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked: "President, if this is the case, our acquisition cost will be very large, and the loss will not be low." George Berkeley said with a firm attitude and said without doubt: "Just do as I say, the loss in the acquisition of Schroders Group will be recovered from other places!" A series of questions popped up in Curtis Dubois''s mind, but he still didn''t dare to ask more about higher-level strategies. He took a deep breath and got up and replied, "I understand, I''ll do it now!" After all, he immediately went outside. Watch Curtis Dubois leave and close the door. George Berkeley walked to the safe, took out a notebook from it after some operations, and returned to his desk. He quickly turned to the latest page. The above records impressively some information involving West Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries. These are the instructions he and Xia Yuhou recorded before. Before, he was still thinking about how to open the situation. Now he doesn''t need to worry about it, the enemy has already made a choice for him. The Francisco family in Spain, and the Wallenberg family in Sweden are directly opposed to them. Although this is not a head-on conflict involving the foundation of the Bright Fund. But during this time period, UU reading www. uukanshu.com stood on the side of the Roshir family and took the initiative to compete with the Bright Fund, that is the enemy! Soon, George Berkeley asked the secretary to convene a meeting of some people to discuss some strategies against these two forces. Then, he dialed the encrypted satellite line that contacted Xia Yu and reported the specific situation and his thoughts to Xia Yu. "... Chairman, the specific situation is like this, please give instructions!" In the office, George Berkeley covered the receiver and waited with bated breath. "Let it go!" After a few seconds, Xia Yu''s light words came from the receiver, but George Berkeley''s smile was completely stretched. "clear!" A decisive and high-pitched voice echoed in the office... v3 Chapter 1491: Domineering! London Eli Group is a company that has been established for 56 years, and it can be regarded as a powerful comprehensive company in the UK. The company is owned by the British Eli family. The patriarch of his family, O''Casey Eli, is also a well-known figure in the British upper class. Just this time. In the chairman''s office of Eli Group, Okasey Eli looked at the person sitting across from him with a solemn expression, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart. no way. Who told him to sit across from him was an executive from the Bright Fund! This man was Curtis Dubois, who had left George Berkeley''s office an hour ago. "Mr. Eli, I''m sure you know the purpose of my visit, so I won''t waste any more time." "We hope to acquire the shares of Schroders Group that you hold!" Curtis Dubois said calmly to Okasey Eli with a faint smile. Under the gaze of Curtis Dubois, Okasey Eli pondered for a moment, then said cautiously: "Mr. Dubois, regarding the sale of Schroeder Group''s shares, I also have to seek advice from within our family. Opinion, after all, this is not a small asset." I didn''t ask about the price, I just answered like this. The meaning of shirk was obvious. It was nothing more than not wanting to offend the Bright Fund. But since Curtis Dubois came today, he is not ready to go back empty-handed! Seeing his palms and fingers crossed, he calmly said to O''Kasey Eli, "Mr. Eli, I wonder if you''ve heard a proverb." "What proverb?" O''Casey Eli''s bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, but he had to bite the bullet and hold it. Curtis Dubois said with a smile, "Is it a proverb from Eastern China, or I heard it from our president." "A man himself does not commit a crime, but it is his crime to possess a gem." The fluttering words and his smile should give people a warm feeling. But O''Casey Eli shuddered and his expression became a little stiff. He laughed awkwardly: "Mr. Dubois, this is the first time I have heard of this proverb. It is indeed a bit novel, hehe..." Curtis Dubois smiled and said, "It doesn''t matter if I heard it for the first time. When I first heard it, I also felt very novel. It is said that this proverb appeared in China more than 2,000 years ago." "It can be handed down for more than two thousand years, which proves that this sentence is a truth. I thought about it for a long time and found that it is suitable for any occasion." "And in the field of mergers and acquisitions that I am familiar with, it is even more suitable. I have regarded it as the true meaning of this life!" Listening to Curtis Dubois''s constant narration, O''Casey Eli''s mood became heavier and more aggrieved. Undoubtedly, in the eyes of Curtis Dubois, he is that person, and the shares of Schroeder Group he holds are that gem. It seems that it is almost impossible for him to be an ostrich today. "Mr. Eli, which one do you think is stronger between our Bright Fund and Schroeder Group?" Seeing his appearance, Curtis Dubois raised his mouth slightly and continued to ask. O''Casey Eli answered dryly: "Of course it''s the Bright Fund. After all, your company raised more than 10 billion pounds a while ago." Curtis Dubois smiled more and more, and continued to ask: "How about our Bright Fund compared to Rothschild Investment Bank?" O''Casey Eli didn''t reply for a long time this time. Curtis Dubois didn''t care either, the psychological offensive effect he wanted had already been achieved. Curtis Dubois looked solemn, looked at Okasey Eli with a burning gaze and said, "Mr. Eli, to be rude, with the strength of our Bright Fund, we will not be afraid of any opponent, You can understand from now that we are at war with the Rothier Consortium!" "The Rothier family can''t take care of themselves now, let alone the much weaker Schroeder family?" "I don''t know where Eric Schroeder got the courage, thinking that the Francisco family united with Spain will be able to fight against us." "None of these matters." "The important thing is, are you willing to accept our olive branch?" O''Casey Eli was shocked. He realized that the Bright Foundation had mastered such detailed information so quickly. You know, Eric Schroeder just contacted him and promised him a lot of benefits. But now it seems that Eric Schroeder''s plan is about to fail. The secret plan has been known by the enemy, and that''s a fart! What''s more, when things have been brought to light by Curtis Dubois, he has no way out. Either accept the olive branch thrown by the Bright Fund, or be hit by the Bright Fund! As for whether his family and company can withstand the blow of the Bright Fund, Okasey Eli said that he did not dare to dream! therefore. O''Casey Eli resolutely confessed, and smiled and praised: "Mr. Dubois, I think in the whole of Europe, there is no one who doesn''t want to be a friend of the Bright Fund." Although Okasey Eli wanted to play tricks at first, Curtis Dubois was very satisfied with his resolutely bowing his head at this time. He smiled and said, "In that case, Mr. Eli, let''s talk about stock trading." "Before I came, I had already looked at the share price of Schroders Group. At ¡ê1.51 per share, the 17.82 million shares you held in your hands were purchased at this price." O''Casey Eli cursed inwardly at robbers and bandits, and said with a stiff face, "Mr. Dubois, I don''t think this is the attitude you should have towards friends." "You have to know that although the market value of Schroders Group has reached a low point, its value is seriously undervalued." "The market value of the Schroeder Group has shrunk significantly, and we have suffered huge losses. If you buy it at the original price, I really can''t explain it to my family." "I think double the premium is justified." "And even if the premium is doubled, our investment is still at a loss!" Curtis Dubois immediately shook his head and said: "Any investment is risky. Schroders Group made a huge loss in shorting Xiangjiang this time. It is normal for the market value to plummet. I don''t know how much time and money it will take to restore goodwill. " "What''s more, Mr. Eli, don''t think that if we compete with the Francisco family and the Schroeder family for the Schroeder Group, the value of your equity will soar." "If you think so, you are wrong." "We have acquired a large amount of equity and can enter the Schroders Group strongly at any time." "And I can tell you that our president''s attitude is very clear, that is, if the Schroders Group can''t get it, then we would rather destroy it completely than let the enemy get it." "It doesn''t matter if we suffer losses, we will make up for the losses from others!" "We have this strength!" As soon as these words came out, O''Casey Eli only felt a suffocating murderous aura coming towards his face. Seeing the serious expression on Curtis Dubois''s face, O''Casey Eli dared not doubt whether the Bright Foundation would really do this. The giant of the Bright Fund really has such strength! At the very least, if the Bright Foundation wanted to kill his Eli Group, it would not be too difficult. ¡­ Okasey Eli, who was at an absolute disadvantage, couldn''t bear the offensive of Curtis Dubois. Although he was aggrieved, under the threat of an iron fist, he still confessed. However, Curtis Dubois did not go too far, and finally negotiated to acquire the shares held by Okasey Eli at a premium of 15% at a base price of 1.51 pounds per share. 17.82 million Schroders shares at ¡ê30.94 million. Soon, the two signed a transaction agreement. After the last chapter is closed, Curtis Dubois put a smile on his face and extended his hand to Okasey Eli. "Mr. Eli, it''s a pleasure to cooperate!" "Happy cooperation!" Okasey Eli had mixed feelings in his heart, and forced a smile to shake hands. "Mr. Eli, starting tonight, you can sleep well." "Of course, UU reading is still very chaotic in the capital market in the UK and Europe. If you don''t know how to use the more than 30 million pounds of capital to the greatest extent, you may consider handing it over to us to help you invest. ." Curtis Dubois looked at Okasey Eli and suggested sincerely. O''Casey Eli''s eyes narrowed, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "I''ll think about it." He didn''t realize that when he said this, the smile on his face was not so ugly. Curtis Dubois saw this. He laughed secretly, and then said, "Mr. Eli, you are welcome to come to our company when you have time. I have something else to do, so I will leave first." Having said that, Curtis Dubois turned around and left with a spirit of high spirits. Think about it too. Although George Berkeley told him to buy a stake in Schroders at any cost, he has now won one at a low price, which proves his ability. Although O''Casey Eli is a weaker and less difficult target than some other shareholders... Next, he will immediately go to attack other targets. With the promise of President George Berkeley, he will have no scruples, and the stocks held by other shareholders must be sold even if they are not sold! ?? PS: I have been busy with work during this time. I will recover as soon as possible. Please bear with me. I wish you a happy life! (https://) 1 second remember the net: . Mobile version reading website: v3 Chapter 1492: Attack 2 countries! Just when Curtis Dubois and others took over the shareholders of Schroeder Group vigorously and resolutely. People like Saron Francisco and Eric Schroeder soon found out. People who can reach their heights will naturally plan the overall situation before doing anything, such as sending people to watch the movement of the Bright Fund will never be missed. After all, commercial acquisition is not an underground struggle, and it is impossible to engage in secret wiring. So no matter how much Curtis Dubois and others and the target of the acquisition pay attention to hiding their whereabouts, they will always leak their whereabouts, the difference is only sooner or later. So after discovering the fierce offensive of the Bright Fund. Eric Schroeder was very nervous, and immediately met with Saron Francisco urgently. After a quick agreement, he quickly stepped up his offensive. For a time, the competition became extremely fierce, attracting the attention of many high-level people. The Schroeder Group''s acquisition battle is in full swing. The takeover battle of National Westminster Bank, which Xia Yu values ??more, is larger in size, and holds a larger shareholding ratio, is even more intense by three points! And because of the different characteristics of banks, the means of acquisition are also different. Before January 21, Xia Yu''s side had secretly raised the shareholding ratio of National Westminster Bank to 24.18% through multiple channels. Now more than ten days have passed. Xia Yu''s elite team did not disappoint him, and acquired another 8.22% of the shares. In this way. Xia Yu already holds 32.4% of the shares in National Westminster Bank. The distance from the relative controlling stake is less than one percent! If this small amount of equity cannot be won, the Bright Consortium can''t afford to lose face. Therefore, it can be said with certainty that in the takeover battle of National Westminster Bank, the Guangming Consortium is already invincible. This is like a giant nail that has been firmly driven in, and the rest is just to see how big the result is. The Barrett family wanted to stop it, but it was just a mantis arm, even with the support of the Wallenberg family! Without him! It''s just because Xia Yu''s huge business empire has too many resources. He can always offer something that others cannot refuse, and then respectfully hand over the shares of the National Westminster Bank that has been clamoring "not for sale". for example. This is what happened in Oxfordshire, London. The Norris family is an established local family. Although their strength has not reached the first-class level in the UK, they can still gain a firm foothold at the second-tier level. The family business also covers more than a dozen fields. The head of the family, Wright Norris, has been at the helm of the family for decades, and he is also the number one figure among the British upper class. At this time, Wright Norris was politely talking with a group of people in the Norris family''s living room. The object of the conversation was a four-member acquisition team sent by Bright Fund, and the leader of the team was Bishop James, the backbone of Bright Fund''s M&A department. "Mr. Norris, you should be able to guess our reason for coming. I just said it directly. We hope to acquire the equity of the National Westminster Bank in your hand." After a few simple greetings, Bishop James went straight to the topic and said to Wright Norris solemnly. These words were a bit sudden, but they were expected by Wright Norris. He looked at Bishop James, and was silent for a long time as if he was thinking, and then he didn''t answer directly, but said: "Mr. James, I don''t know if you know, our family holds this share History, in fact, can be traced back to thirty-two years before the merger of National Westminster Bank!" "These thirty-two years have happened to be the time when our family business entered the fast track of development." This is a very euphemistic statement, and the meaning behind it is ambiguous. But Bisharp James got it. Doesn''t it mean that this equity is very important to the Norris family. Because of this equity, the Norris family has a certain bond with the National Westminster Bank and even one of its predecessors. With the help of the relationship of National Westminster Bank, the Norris family has stable financial support, and at the same time, with the help of this huge platform, the family business is getting bigger and bigger. Bishop James smiled slightly and asked suddenly: "Mr. Norris, I want to ask you a question. Thirty-two years have passed. I don''t know if you can still find a bigger one from the National Westminster Bank. Potential and value?" Wright Norris''s expression was a little stagnant, and he wanted to give an affirmative answer, but under the gaze of Bishop James with deep meaning, he still had to face, so he replied: "The market is infinite, isn''t it, as long as There are always new opportunities to explore with your heart.¡± Bishop James smiled, and the confidence in his heart suddenly increased. Immediately afterwards, he threw out the chips and motioned to the assistant beside him, who immediately took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Wright Norris. When Wright Norris took the folder with some doubts. The voice of Bisharp James sounded at the right time: "Mr. Norris, I think that compared with the platform of National Westminster Bank, the Norris family urgently needs a larger platform and a stronger partner." Wright Norris looked up at Bishop James, and then opened the folder. When he saw some of the contents on it, his gaze froze, and the hand holding the folder subconsciously clenched. I saw a list above. It reads: 1. Letter of intent for cooperation with Queensland Sugar Corporation. 2. Letter of Intent for cooperation with Bombardier Group in Canada. 3. Letter of intent for cooperation with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group. ¡­ 9. Letter of Intent for Royal Bank of Scotland''s Top Client Cooperation. This catalog alone had a huge psychological impact on Wright Norris. He immediately scrolled down. For a while, the sound of "swish" turning pages sounded from time to time in the living room. The appearance of Wright Norris made Bisharp James unable to bear the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he smiled at each other, and drank his coffee quietly. Even though it was just some flimsy letter of intent for cooperation, Wright Norris felt as if he was holding a heavier and heavier mountain in his hands the more he turned down. And this mountain peak is still emitting dazzling golden light. Each of these letters of intent for cooperation can be related to the industry of the Norris family. Excluding the Royal Bank of Scotland, the other eight cooperation letters of intent cover almost 80% of the industry of the Norris family. That means above, Wright Norris is well aware. As long as these cooperation letters of intent can be turned into real cooperation agreements, the business of the Norris family will be greatly boosted. The ship of the Norris family, which has slowed down, will be replaced with a new generation of power, and the speed will return to the peak period of the past, and even surpass it! at last. He glanced at the Royal Bank of Scotland''s letter of intent for cooperation with top customers placed at the bottom, and couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. Although it is not the equity of the Royal Bank of Scotland, compared with the bright road given by the Bright Fund, the bank''s equity is not so important. More financial support and a broader platform are in front of us, and the role of National Westminster Bank''s equity is dispensable at this moment. He could think of no other reason for refusing. The sincerity of the Bright Consortium is here! What''s more, he also thought of something deeper. The greater the sincerity, the greater the determination of the Bright Consortium. Thinking of the powerful strength of the Bright Consortium, Wright Norris dared not and did not want to experience it head-on. Instantly made up his mind. Wright Norris put on a warm smile on his face, and said to Sharp James: "Mr. James, on behalf of the Norris family, I am very grateful and cherish the friendship brought by the Bright Fund. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com" "I think we can talk concretely about the value of the NatWest stake." Bishop James smiled: "Well..." ¡­ Soon, Bishop James bought 0.71% of the shares of National Westminster Bank owned by the Norris family at a very reasonable price. And the Guangming Consortium has added a strong lower-level ally in the local area. Nothing more than a win-win situation! Just when the Guangming Consortium mobilized huge resources to create a "win-win cooperation" with other forces around the perfect opportunity for the acquisition of National Westminster Bank. Come and not reciprocate! The Bright Consortium also set up a fort, rumbling towards Spain and Sweden! 82 Chinese Network v3 Chapter 1493: The first batch of allies screened As the top wealthy family in Europe, the Wallenberg family is very powerful. At this excellent opportunity, it is natural not to only intervene in the acquisition of National Westminster Bank. They also carried out other operations in parallel during this period. The headquarter of National Westminster Bank is in the United Kingdom, and the Wallenberg family wants to acquire National Westminster Bank, with the purpose of expanding its power into the UK. But what they want more is to increase the strength of the European continent. After all, Sweden is a Nordic island country with certain restrictions on economic development and various aspects. Although the economies of the United Kingdom and Sweden are not low, they still cannot compare with the European continent as a whole. And now everyone can see that Europe wants to create a more influential alliance than the European Community, when Europe''s political and economic influence will be further consolidated. Only with the economic integration and background of the countries on the European continent can the Wallenberg family find a greater growth point of strength. To seize as many opportunities as possible. Peter Wallenberg even personally went to the family''s resident in Switzerland to take charge of the implementation of all aspects of the strategy. It''s just that the good times didn''t last long. Before he was happy for a few days, he got the disappointing news. "Chairman, there is a huge obstacle to the acquisition of Longao Asset Management Company!" The subordinate hurriedly knocked on the door and walked into Peter Wallenberg''s office, reporting to him with a solemn expression. Peter Wallenberg frowned suddenly, a possibility flashed in his mind, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" The subordinate hesitated for a moment before whispering, "According to my investigation, the enemy points to the Austrian Bright Fund." Bad guess verified! It really is the Bright Fund! Peter Wallenberg''s heart sank, but then a surge of anger rose in his chest, and he whispered to himself: "Hmph, are you looking down on me, and only let a branch in Austria take action against..." Although angry. But Peter Wallenberg himself knew very well that this opponent was actually not weak. Before deciding to **** the National Westminster Bank from the mouth of the Bright Fund, he investigated the information of the Bright Fund more carefully. Austrian Bright Fund is a newly established branch of Bright Fund a few years ago. Although it was established for a short time, it has developed very rapidly. It not only has the Austrian Central Savings Bank, a first-class bank in Austria, as its financial platform, but also has industrial support from large companies in the real industry such as the Austrian Iron and Steel Group and Austrian AVL. And with the help of the influence of the entire Bright Consortium, with Austria as the center, its tentacles quickly spread to surrounding countries. The strength of such a branch alone is astonishing. And Peter Wallenberg knew that the Austrian Bright Fund could apply for assistance from the parent company at any time. Therefore, the acquisition battle surrounding Longao Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland, is doomed to be difficult! But no matter what, there is no turning back, and the Longao Asset Management Company will be taken down at a high price! After making an instant decision. Peter Wallenberg immediately ordered to the secretary: "Go, tell them to come over for a meeting." "OK!" ¡­ Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and the second largest port. It is known as the "Sunshine City" in Europe. It is located in the southeast of Spain, with the sea in the east and the vast plains in the back. Known as "a pearl on the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea". As the third largest city in Spain, Valencia also assumes the functions of the cultural center and industrial center in the southeast. The city has great potential and its economy is very prosperous. In the city of Valencia, in a typical Gothic courtyard, five people were gathering at this time. Although the five of them were talking and laughing happily, it was obvious that four of them got along very casually and had known each other for a long time. Only the fifty-year-old man in the middle who was wearing a neat suit was not as luxurious as the four of them, but his conversation was neither humble nor overbearing, which seemed very natural. As the senior vice president of Bright Fund, which is famous in Europe, Kleist Alec does have the confidence. Although the four people in front of them are the heads of the top ancient aristocratic families in Spain, and they can shock everyone by stomping their feet in Spain, but compared with the younger Bright Fund, their strength is still not comparable. While chatting and laughing, Kleist Alec glanced casually across the faces of the four people, sorting out their information again in his mind. Fitz James Stewart, the 19th Duke of Alba in Spain, is currently the head of the Stuart family, whose family history can be traced back to the 15th century. De Witt Antonio Corsini, Duke of Granada, Spain, head of the Corsini family, family history is older than the Stewart family, dating back to the 13th century. Ogden Borgia, Duke of Valencia, Spain. Since the 14th century, the ancestors of the Borgia family have taken root in Valencia. Rencia, Ogden Borgia''s influence cannot be underestimated. Adrian Lilot, Marquis of Madrid, whose family history can also be traced back to the 15th century, is the current head of the Lilot family. Four people, three dukes and one marquis, are all veteran top aristocrats. Of course, compared to England, Spain''s title of duke is a bit of a rotten street. According to statistics from the Bright Fund, there are now more than 150 duke titles in Spain, belonging to more than 100 families. As for the marquis, earl, viscount, baron, etc. below, there are thousands of titles in total, and most of them are hereditary. The United Kingdom is different. There are only more than 20 duke titles, and most of them belong to the royal family. The strength and influence of those British dukes who do not belong to the royal family are much stronger than the Spanish dukes. Even the Marlborough family, the weakest of the British duke families, the previous duke was the iron-blooded Prime Minister Churchill. Although the Churchill family''s economic strength is poor now, its political soft power is top-notch. But then again. The Spanish nobles who can get into the eyes of the Bright Fund, of course, cannot be the poor and settled among the nobles. The four in front of us, UU Reading are selected by the think tanks of Guangming Fund after careful analysis and selection based on the family''s economic strength, business industry, influence and many other factors, and then confirmed by Xia Yu''s final instructions. These four people not only have strong family strength, but also have great influence in all aspects, the most important thing is. Their family has a lot of grievances with the Francisco family! In the past few decades, when the last head of the Francisco family held military and political power and dominated Spain, their family was either maliciously suppressed, and indeed they were aggrieved and gave in. And these few years, these few of them are also the vanguard against the Francisco family. An enemy of an enemy is a friend! The Bright Fund is going to take root in Spain and attack the Francisco family. These four are the most suitable first batch of allies! ps: Try to restore the update, lick your face and beg for votes, try to restore the popularity of this book, thank you! 82 Chinese Network v3 Chapter 1494: alliances that shaped the shape of spain Chapter 1494: The Alliance Affecting Spain Chapter 1494: The Alliance Affecting Spain "Mr. Alec, I heard that you will be the general manager of the Spanish Bright Fund in the future?" After chatting for a few more words, Adrian Lilot, Marquis of Madrid, suddenly asked Kleist Alec, but deliberately glanced at the others. The expressions of the other three people moved slightly, and their eyes focused on Kleist Alec. They really hadn''t heard the news. Kleist Alec smiled and nodded: "Mr. Lilot''s news is so well-informed. I just went to the company yesterday, and you already know it. Sure enough, the rumors are not wrong. Nothing in Madrid can escape you." master." Adrian Lilot shook his head humbly: "The rumors are too exaggerated. I have a friend who is a client of the Bright Fund. He just came to my place for afternoon tea yesterday afternoon and mentioned to me about the personnel adjustment of the Bright Fund in Madrid. information." This news is indeed important, at least in the eyes of three people including DeWitt Antonio Corsini. They all paid more attention to today''s meeting in their hearts. As the senior vice president of the Bright Fund, Kleist Alec is also the right-hand man of George Berkeley. Even remotely commanding the affairs of Spain is enough to be taken seriously. Not to mention that he also serves as the general manager of the Spanish branch of Bright Fund, which shows that Bright Fund is ready to flex its muscles in Spain. Such a huge crocodile rushing into the Spanish economic market will definitely set off a stormy sea. "Mr. Alec, you asked the four of us to come here today. Do you have any big business to make money with us?" After everyone was silent for a while, Ogden Borgia took a puff of his cigar and asked bluntly. "Of course, if it''s a small business, I wouldn''t dare to approach you." "And if this business is done well, I think it can greatly enhance the strength of your family!" Kleist Alec still smiled and said loudly. Everyone''s curiosity was aroused. "I don''t know what kind of business it is, enough for the five of us here to come together?" Fitz James Stewart put down his raised Erlang legs, sat up straight and asked solemnly. "The Francisco family!" Facing the scorching gazes of everyone, Kleist Alec said the answer lightly, but everyone''s expressions changed. Why did Bright Fund focus on the Francisco family? Will there be fraud? If true is there a chance? ¡­ All of a sudden, various ideas appeared in the minds of the four of them. Kleist Alec was not in a hurry and just waited so quietly. after a long time. Adrian Lilot, who is best at collecting information, was the first to ask: "Mr. Alec, your answer is very sudden, and the impact involved is also great. We hope to know more information." "That''s right, we need enough reasons!" Ogden Borgia also shouted. No wonder they don''t know. After all, it has been less than ten days since Saren Francisco was invited by the Rothschild family to participate in the secret meeting, and the actual implementation time is even shorter. Moreover, before achieving certain results, Saren Francisco deliberately kept a low profile to hide the news, and it was difficult for the direct or indirect stakeholders involved to detect it. What''s more, the actions of the Francisco family are still placed in the UK. The four people present can understand without knowing the situation. Kleist Alec solved their confusion: "The reason is actually very simple. Saren Francisco chose to become the enemy of our Bright Fund." "The Francisco family dared to intervene in the acquisition of the Schroeder Group by our Bright Fund. The Rothschild family formed an alliance, do you think this is enough reason? " "hiss¡­" This answer shocked all four of them. "The Francisco family has formed an alliance with the Rothschild family? I feel like this is a joke!" Adrien Lilot said in disbelief. Who doesn''t know the Spanish upper class, the relationship between the Francisco family and the Jewish community is not good. The iron-blooded figure of the Francisco family in the past few decades has caused huge losses to the Jewish community. The Rothschild family, as the top force in the Jewish community, would shake hands with the Francisco family and form an alliance. This is a big joke. Compared with this information, the Francisco family''s involvement in the acquisition of Schroeder Group by Bright Fund is small news. "I''m not kidding!" "You should understand, if you don''t suppress the Francisco family, let them survive this time, and join hands with the Rothschild family in the future, how much impact it will have on Spain!" Kleist Alec said solemnly. "Pa-ta... Phoo... Pa-ta... Phoo..." Ogden Borgia took a few puffs of his cigar, quickly exhaled the smoke rings, and his brain began to analyze rapidly. The more he thought about it, the more dignified his complexion became. It is said that a dead camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Francisco family has only been down for a few years since Optimus Prime. Although many forces have been eyeing the business empire of the Francisco family in the past few years, the loss of the Francisco family is not too great. Given the current situation where the Francisco family is surrounded by packs of wolves, Saron Francisco will definitely seek allies for support. If he introduces the Rothschild family to Spain, the impact will be great. Considering the huge influence of the Francisco family in all aspects of Spain, once it serves as the leading party, the Rothschild family can easily expand its sphere of influence in Spain. At that time, the Francisco family will have a comfortable life and free their hands to fight back. The vanguards against the Francisco family present here will definitely be the first targets to be targeted. Even if they can''t lose, they will be held back from the pace of development, which is a step backward compared to other forces. not to mention. What if they can''t withstand the malicious suppression of the Francisco family and the Rothschild family? DeWitt Antonio Cosini and the other four all thought of this, looked at the others one after another, exchanged glances, and quickly reached an agreement. If this news is true, then we must act first to weaken the strength of the Francisco family as much as possible! Seeing that a few people were silent, Kleist Alec didn''t wait any longer, but said: "Everyone, the Rothschild family is the enemy of our Bright Fund, and so is the Francisco family." "I am the general manager of the Spanish branch of Bright Fund, and my main duty is to fight against the Francisco family, and then fight against the Rothschild family''s influence in Spain." "Our enemies are one." "The Francisco family can form an alliance, and so can you." Everyone is still silent, although everyone is ready to move, thinking that they can form an alliance, but reason tells them to calm down now. After a long time. Ogden Borgia, Duke of Valencia, received the gazes from the other three people, and said: "Mr. Alec, this matter is too important. Even as the patriarch of the family, I cannot settle it with one word." , I hope you can give us some time to think about it." "That''s what we mean too, we have to integrate the opinions of the entire family." "That''s right." The other three immediately followed suit. "Of course no problem. I''ll be waiting for your call these few days." Kleist Alec said with a smile. ¡­ A little more small talk, Clay Steer Alec offered to leave, and everyone dispersed. But actually. After Kleist Alec left, the four gathered again at Ogden Borgia''s house. Just sit down. Adrian Lilot hurriedly said: "Everyone, the news that Kleist Alec said just now should be true. What do you think?" Fitz James Stewart said slowly: "If the news is true, our alliance with the Bright Fund is a good choice. They have the strength to fight against the Rothschild family." "I''m worried that the Bright Fund wants to take advantage of us, they harvest behind our backs, and even eat us together in the end." After hearing this, DeWitt Antonio Cosini shook his head and retorted: "I don''t think the Bright Fund has gone too far. I have learned about the Bright Fund in detail before. They have never voluntarily betrayed their allies in the process of development. The forces that cooperate with them will not suffer." "I agree with DeWitt on this point," Ogden Borgia said. "That is to say, after all, Bright Fund has not developed for a long time, but if it takes a long time, once Bright Fund dominates some industries, we will be affected sooner or later." Fitz James Stewart said. "This is what will happen in the future. Even if there is no Bright Fund, the Rothschild family and the Francisco family will have the same impact on us." DeWitt Antonio Cosini continued to refute. "In my opinion, it is better to form an alliance with the Bright Fund. Even if the domestic power structure is turbulent, we can still occupy a certain degree of initiative." "Being active is better than being passive!" "It''s just that once we form an alliance with the Bright Fund, our relationship with the Rothschild family will deteriorate sharply in the future." Fitz James Stewart felt helpless. "The moment the Francisco family allies with the Rothschild family, we don''t have much choice unless we back down again to the Francisco family and then hide behind others in the future." "It''s just, are you willing?" Adrian Lilot''s words hit the nail on the head. Everyone fell silent. Are you willing? Will the family continue to endure the losses suffered by the family in the past few decades? how is this possible! "Yeah, UU Reading I''m not reconciled." "And we should be more optimistic. The Rothschild family can put aside their prejudices and form an alliance with the Francisco family. It can be seen that they have reached the time when they are hungry." "As far as the current situation in Europe is concerned, the situation of the Rothschild family is not good. This time we seize the time to join forces with the Bright Fund to attack the Francisco family. We may gain a lot. The growth of our own strength is the most fundamental." "Okay, since that''s the case, let''s go back and persuade our respective family members to form an alliance with the Bright Fund." ¡­ Two days later. In a hidden place, Kleist Alec reappeared and met with four people including DeWitt Antonio Cosini, and the five parties signed a memorandum of alliance. At this moment, the Alliance to Influence the Spanish Pattern was formally established! ps: Please ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket, thank you brothers! v3 Chapter 1495: very tempting prey Chapter 1495 The Tempting Prey After the alliance was formed, the five parties immediately began to discuss the attack plan. over the past few decades. Although Spain has some attributes of military control, the government is very tough, which restricts the market economy a lot, and most important industries are occupied by state-owned enterprises. However, the Francisco family still holds part of the shares in many large state-owned enterprises, lying on the Spanish country and people like a bloodsucker to **** blood. For example, Spain''s largest energy company - Repsol, and the largest steel company - Spain''s Esserra Real Steel Company, the Francisco family holds a lot of shares in it. It''s just that for now, Spain''s privatization reform is still facing difficulties. Therefore, it is still very difficult to remove the Francisco family from these large state-owned enterprises. Therefore, the direction of everyone''s actions can only be placed on the company that the Francisco family can dominate. Those are the economic pillars of the Francisco family. Only by interrupting and taking away these economic pillars, the Francisco family will be severely damaged. The rest of the more peripheral assets are easy to harvest. The economic pillars of these Francisco families are hard bones, but if they are really gnawed down, it will be a great supplement. In order to avoid hurting the harmony among allies, everyone also adheres to the principle of division of labor and cooperation, and absolutely needs to divide their respective scopes in advance. After some discussions. Bright Fund has identified four goals. Corresponding to the four major industries - energy, banking, insurance, infrastructure. The energy counterpart is Iberdrola, a company established in Bilbao in 1944, which is engaged in electricity and natural gas activities in Spain and abroad. It is currently the second largest power company in the country except for the Spanish National Electric Company. . And in the future, it will be the second largest wind power operator in the world, and its development potential should not be underestimated. The bank corresponds to Spain''s largest bank - Bilbao Vizcaya Bank. The history of this bank can be traced back to 1901. After more than 80 years of development, the business chain has been very large, including retail banking, commercial banking, and small and medium-sized enterprise banking, payment systems, consumer finance, private banking and other businesses. Of course, the most important thing is that it has a strong influence in Portugal, Mexico and South America. Especially those former Spanish colonial countries in Mexico and South America are deeply entrenched, and the largest bank in Mexico is it! The insurance is the corresponding Manford Insurance Company. Founded in 1933, Manfort Insurance Company has many subsidiaries including mutual insurance companies and reinsurance companies. It has a market share of 20.5% in the non-life insurance industry in Spain, 9.9% in the life insurance industry, and an overall market share of 14.3%. All three items are the first in Spanish market share! The final infrastructure construction corresponds to Farolio Group. This company is the youngest. Founded in 1952, it is currently the largest infrastructure contractor and real estate developer in Spain. It has four main business lines: services, toll roads, and construction and airport structures and more. Compared with Iberdrola, Spain''s Bilbao Vizcaya Bank, and Manfred Insurance Company, the overall asset size of the Faroli Group is the smallest. During the discussion, Fitz James Stewart and others were also puzzled to classify it as the attack target of the Bright Fund. At one time, they thought that the Bright Fund was supposed to take care of them, so they chose this way. In fact, Kleist Alec and even George Berkeley were also puzzled. Because this company was chosen by Xia Yuhui. In fact, at the beginning, in the field of infrastructure, Xia Yu wanted to choose the famous acs company in the future, that is, the company of the famous chairman of Real Madrid, Lafayette. But after investigating the situation in Spain, Xia Yu discovered that the acs company has not I don''t know where it is, Lafayette has only acquired the poorly managed cp company for less than four years, and it is still operating with difficulty. So in order to seize the track of infrastructure construction, Xia Yu chose the Ferolio Group, which happened to be run by the Francisco family. The reason why he wants to seize the infrastructure track is that only Xia Yu in the world knows this reason. Of course, the signs are now there. That is, after Spain joined the European Community last year, in order to accelerate the integration of Spain and the European Community, the European Community allocated a huge amount of integration funds to Spain, which were earmarked for infrastructure construction in Spain. And that''s just the beginning! Until the beginning of the 21st century, the European Community and later the European Union continued to allocate special infrastructure funds to Spain, so that Spain was fed the country with the most highways in Europe, and the number one high-speed rail mileage in Europe and the number one in the world. Three countries! The improvement of roads has turned a lot of land in Spain into commercial land with full potential, and it has also led to the rapid development of industries such as airports and ports. From 1992 to 2012, it took only 20 years for roads, airports, ports and railways. The total investment has reached more than 300 billion euros! Coupled with the construction and real estate fields in other commercial and civil fields, such a huge market has cultivated Spain into a strong country in infrastructure construction. Various infrastructure technologies have been continuously developed and accumulated. It was once known as the "King of Infrastructure Construction" in the world. Chengbazhai plundered the market. In a few years, the European Union will be established, and after that, development and construction will be carried out. Naturally, Xia Yu will plan ahead and take the lead in planting flags and standing up sticks. Although his business empire will expand the business, it is best to have European genes. ¡­ The above four major companies are the prey chosen to specifically snipe the Francisco family. In addition, Xia Yu also gave other instructions for Spain''s strategy. That is hugging grass and beating rabbits! According to the analysis of Xia Yu and the think tank, once the Francisco family is attacked in all directions, the capital market in Spain will also become a mess. According to the fantasy terminology, it is called "disorder of heavenly secrets". Under such circumstances, the difficulty of intelligence collection and collation by all parties will soar. At that time, every move of all parties will become very cautious, and the flow and use of funds will also be cautious. All major financial companies dare not lend money easily, for fear of being dragged into the quagmire. This situation is most suitable for the forced acquisition of some companies. For example, the cp company with the talent of Florentino Perez. The ditex group of Amancio Ortega Gona, the richest man in Spain and the "king of clothing plagiarism" in later generations. UU Reading Santander Bank, which is ninth in the world, second in the Eurozone, and first in Spain, has total assets of US$1.7 trillion at its peak. There is also a Spanish mobile phone tower company that has just developed for a few years and is engaged in the construction and operation of mobile phone tower infrastructure. Without exception, these are all future star companies that are still developing but have great potential. Although future development still needs continuous investment, Xia Yu values ??the genes of these companies. Xia Yu likes to do things like catching potential stocks. Rebirth does not wait for potential stocks, it is better to go home and grow sweet potatoes! ps: This chapter has a lot of information, and the information has been accumulated in the past few days. It took a lot of effort, and it may be very dry to read, but after reading it, the situation in Spain will be more substituting. It will be the beginning of the month soon, please vote for the recommended vote, the monthly pass, the monthly pass at the beginning of the month is more important, thank you! v3 Chapter 1496: The Wallenbergs bleed Chapter 1496 The Wallenberg Family Hemorrhages After dividing the attack target, the Bright Fund began to act. All of this is going on in secret, and only after sufficient preparations in the early stage will they suddenly jump out and deliver a fatal blow to the Francisco family. Considering that the current situation in Europe is changing rapidly, this process is destined not to take a long time. When the Bright Fund began to target the Francisco family. These short days passed. The news of the fierce confrontation between the Austrian branch of Bright Fund and the Wallenberg family in Switzerland has already spread. The Wallenberg family had suffered, but Peter Wallenberg had to bite the bullet and move forward. The Bermoder family is a well-known wealthy family in Switzerland. The family started in the eighteenth century, starting from silk manufacturing and trading. After five generations of hard work in the past two hundred years, the Bermod family''s business has spread across many fields, and has pillar industries in many fields. Especially since 1956, the development direction of the Bermod family has undergone a relatively large adjustment. The family established a financial investment office, using the huge amount of funds accumulated in the industry, and began to pay attention to public equity and private equity transactions. Of course, in terms of public equity transactions, Bermoder Family Financial Investment Office mainly invests in Swiss listed companies, using a traditional buy and hold strategy. In private equity, Bermoder Family Finance focuses on growth, buyout and special situations funds in North America and Europe. In addition, it also invests in areas such as real estate, bonds and fixed income funds. As the top capital company in Switzerland, Longao Asset Management Co., Ltd. in Geneva, Switzerland, naturally, cannot do without the investment of the Bermod family. And in 1981, Harris Bermode, the head of the Bermod family, also raised his bets, investing a lot of money to increase the family''s shareholding ratio to 5.18%, and also won a board seat. In the past few years, Longao Asset Management Company has indeed benefited the Bermod family a lot. Of course, the time to benefit from this has to be before the actions of Longao Asset Management Company in Xiangjiang... at this time. In the Bermod family financial investment office, Harris Bermod is receiving Peter Wallenberg with a happy mood. "Mr. Harris, I already know what you discussed with my subordinates last time." "I think my arrival today can already represent my sincerity." "Also, I am here today with the friendship of the Wallenberg family." Peter Wallenberg looked at Harris Bermoder solemnly and said. When Harris Bermoder heard this, his expression became a lot more solemn in an instant, and he nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Peter, for your respect to our family, and I very much hope to establish a deeper relationship with the Wallenberg family. friendship." Just after saying this, Harris Bermoder immediately changed the topic: "Of course, I also need to consider some things for the whole family. I need to explain to other family members. I hope Mr. Peter can understand." Peter Wallenberg''s face remained unchanged, and he nodded and replied "Of course", but in fact, he secretly murmured in his heart that the old fox Harris Bermoder was not fooled. But before coming today, Peter Wallenberg was already prepared to bleed heavily, so he never considered returning empty-handed. "Mr. Harris, the premise is that my subordinates offer you a price of 4.87 Swiss francs per share to buy the shares of Longao Asset Management Company you hold." "Since I am here in person today, I also hope that we can win-win, and I am willing to raise the price to 5.04 Swiss francs per share." Peter Wallenberg said solemnly. The total share capital of Longao Asset Management Company is as high as 320 million shares, and the number of shares held by the Bermod family has reached 16.576 million shares. he The purchase offer per share of De Wallenberg increased by 0.17 Swiss francs, and the total offer reached 83.543 million Swiss francs, an increase of 2.818 million Swiss francs. Compared with the price of the day before yesterday, it is indeed very sincere. But that was only compared to the day before yesterday. But today is different! After being silent for a while, Harris Bermode looked at Peter Wallenberg, shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Peter, you are not being sincere." "Since you have looked at the stock market, you should know that after the stock market opened today, the share price of Longao Asset Management has reached 3.92 Swiss francs." "The day before yesterday, the share price was only 3.61 Swiss francs." "It''s up 0.31 Swiss francs per share in two days." "The stock market has risen so much, and the offer you gave me now has only increased by 0.17 Swiss francs per share, and the acquisition premium has dropped instead." These words pierced Peter Wallenberg''s heart. "Mr. Harris, you should know that this stock price is not the real value of Longao Asset Management Company. This stock price is now inflated." The reason for the inflated price is very simple. The news spread that Bright Fund and the Wallenberg family competed for Longao Asset Management Company. Of course, other investors should take the opportunity to raise the price and eat soup to recover some losses as much as possible. Harris Bermod shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Peter, all of us who invest know that there is nothing inflated in the financial market, and the price of a commodity is the real-time value expression." "So if your offer doesn''t satisfy me, I can only apologize." After all, Harris Bermoder paused for a few seconds before slowly saying: "I can tell you something, just half an hour before you came, I also received a call from someone else, and their quotation Much taller than you, but I made an appointment with you yesterday to meet today, so I didn''t promise them." "Is it the Bright Fund?" Peter Wallenberg frowned and was in a bad mood. Harris Bermoder smiled apologetically, but did not answer. "I''m sorry I didn''t ask." Peter Wallenberg shrugged and said apologetically. Then he fell into deep thought, about a minute later. He looked at Harris Bermoder and said sincerely: "5.3 Swiss francs per share!" This price, even at today''s opening price, has reached a 35% premium, which is indeed very good! If it is compared with the stock price of 3.61 Swiss francs per share the day before yesterday, the premium has reached nearly 50%. It is indeed very sincere. Harris Bermode sat up straight, looked at Peter Wallenberg, and said solemnly: "Mr. Peter, if you quoted the price the day before yesterday, the agreement has already been signed." The words are very tactful, but still refuse. Peter Wallenberg frowned again, and with anger rising in his heart, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Harris, I think my sincerity is quite sufficient." Harris Bermod smiled: "Mr. Harris, you may have underestimated the determination of the other party." Peter Wallenberg subconsciously clenched his fingers, and his knuckles turned white. "Then Mr. Harris, what price do you think you are satisfied with?" Harris Bermoder was not so stupid, he smiled and shook his head and played Tai Chi: "Mr. Peter, I am just a passive seller, and I should not be the one to quote this price." Peter Wallenberg felt very annoyed, so he could only restrain himself and nodded slightly. Another ten seconds passed. He looked into Harris Bermoder''s eyes like a knife, and said in a very firm tone: "Mr. Harris, I will make an offer for the last time. If it doesn''t work, I can only choose to give up. I won''t be joking." "5.5 Swiss francs per share!" Already 1.58 Swiss francs per share higher than today''s opening price, a premium More than forty percent! The two looked at each other for a long time, and Harris Bermod considered it for a long time, but in the end he was still not sure whether Peter Wallenberg would really give up, and he would definitely let it go as soon as he saw it. He smiled and extended his hand to Peter Wallenberg: "Mr. Peter, congratulations!" Peter Wallenberg breathed a sigh of relief. Although his heart ached, he still squeezed out a smile and shook hands with Harris Bermoder: "I still have to thank Mr. Harris for your fulfillment." "Then I''ll have an agreement prepared," said Harris Bermoder. "Okay." Peter Wallenberg agreed immediately, he didn''t want to have long nights and dreams. Soon, with the assistance of the staff and the witness of lawyers, the two parties signed the acquisition agreement. The 16.576 million shares of Longao Asset Management held by the Bermod family were transferred at a price of 5.5 Swiss francs per share, and the transfer price was 91.168 million Swiss francs. When all the agreements were signed and received, Peter Wallenberg heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart was bleeding when he thought of the price. "If it hadn''t been for the intervention of the Bright Fund, the stock price of Longao Asset Management would not have rebounded at all. I am absolutely sure that I will spend more than 60 million Swiss francs to buy these shares of the Bermod family." "Why did it cost more than 20 million Swiss francs now!" "Damn Bright Fund!" Thinking that the shares held by the Bermod family accounted for only 5.18% of the total share capital, and there were still more shares to be acquired, and more blood would be needed in the future, Peter Wallenberg wished he could sell the general manager of the Bright Fund Austria Branch. Manager Thomas Morsi kills. UU Reading "Mr. Harris, I hope you can help me keep the price as secret as possible." In order to save money as much as possible, even though he felt that the probability was very slim, Peter Wallenberg still squeezed out a smile and made a request to Harris Bermoder. "Of course no problem, I will keep it a secret." Harris Bermoder replied without hesitation, as if he could definitely do it. "thanks." "Mr. Harris, please send someone to follow me, and I will arrange for someone to deposit the funds into the account you designated." "OK." ¡­ ps: I''m sorry, because of the sudden aggravation of allergic rhinitis, I was out of state all night, and it was even later. It''s the beginning of the month, and I hope everyone can vote for monthly and recommended votes, and don''t keep books, and try to increase the follow-up rate as much as possible. This is more important, thank you Lao Huang! v3 Chapter 1497: nordic overlord It turns out. The bright fund made Peter Wallenberg uncomfortable, but it was not just the acquisition of shares by the Bermod family. Peter Wallenberg competed with Bright Fund for the acquisition of NatWest Bank, which resulted in the Bright Fund having to raise the purchase price again and again, resulting in considerable losses. The Wallenberg family also had to bleed heavily from the acquisition of Longao Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland. certainly. Xia Yu''s plan for the Wallenberg family was not focused on this. Because the strength of the Wallenberg family is much stronger than that of the Francisco family, and it has a very strong control over the Swedish economy and society. Therefore, his plan for the Wallenberg family is divided into three stages, and the whole process is expected to last until the end of this year or even next year. Malicious competition in Geneva Longao Asset Management Company is only the first phase of the appetizer. The big move in the first stage is directly aimed at the Swedish capital market! And once this big move is released, it will be earth-shattering! ¡­ Nordic countries, also known as the five Nordic countries, are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, and their affiliated territories, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, ?land Islands and Svalbard. Northern Europe is located in the Arctic Circle, and its geographical features and resources are very different from most countries in the world. Among the five Nordic countries, the economic development of each country varies greatly. According to the statistics and published data of "Economic Weekly" in 1986. The gdp of the five countries is Sweden 150.498 billion US dollars, Denmark 88.079 billion US dollars, Norway 78.693 billion US dollars, Finland 73.532 billion US dollars, and Iceland 3.99 billion US dollars. Sweden, which has the strongest overall strength, ranks sixteenth in the world in terms of GDP and eighth in Europe. Iceland, the weakest country, has a GDP that ranks eighty-second in the world. Among their export products, canned herring is even on the top list of export commodities. There is no doubt that Sweden is the overlord of the five Nordic countries, and its economic siphon effect is also extremely strong. Considering that the historical backgrounds of the five Nordic countries are closely connected, and the lifestyles, religions, social and political systems are also similar, if the five Nordic countries are considered as a whole, then the economic scale is larger than Canada, enough to rank seventh in the world! In Northern Europe, the most developed city is Stockholm, the capital and largest city of Sweden! The Stockholm Stock Exchange, a stock exchange established in 1863, has surpassed the Copenhagen Stock Exchange in Denmark, which is nearly 200 years older than Sweden, and currently has nearly 300 listed companies. Telecom giant Ericsson, home appliance giant Electrolux, Europe''s largest power engineering and mechanical equipment giant Asia Brown Boveri, pharmaceutical giant Astra, military giant Saab Group, global garden giant Husqvarna, global home furnishing Giant IKEA, global hygiene giant SCA, Scania Group, Volvo Group, etc., some of the world''s top companies are listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. It is worth mentioning that these giants in various industries can basically find traces of the Wallenberg family. Or direct holding, or the first few major shareholders. the most important is. It''s like the Xiangjiang United Stock Exchange is controlled by Xia Yu behind the scenes. The Stockholm Stock Exchange is also controlled behind the scenes by the Wallenberg family. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult challenge to inflict heavy damage on the Wallenberg family in a financial way, or even defeat the Wallenberg family. But once the goal is really achieved, the harvest will be extremely gratifying. ¡­ Xiangjiang Central. Jiuding Building is located. It has been almost two months since the last time. From the outside, this 520-meter-high skyscraper has no trace of construction. The blue glass reflects the dazzling light in the sun. The whole building is like a beam of light piercing into the sky, which makes every passing citizen feel Can''t help but stop and look up. The interior decoration of Jiuding Building is also basically completed. In a few months, Jiuding Building will be officially opened. The reason why Xia Yu came today was mainly due to the disturbance from the people below. Although Jiuding Building has 108 floors, the area of ??each floor is huge. If it is rented out, one floor is enough to accommodate many companies. But who made Xia Yu''s business empire too huge! In many companies, the area of ??the first floor is simply not enough. Didn''t Liu Tianci, Wang Qi, Yan Wenhan, Ma Tengdong, Jason Gregg, Xu Chongguang and others all want to build a few floors for use? No matter what their relationship is like in the past, when using this area in the office building, each of them will not give an inch, and each of them will fight hard. As for the reason. Xia Yu heard it too. It''s nothing more than meaning and status. Once the Jiuding Building is opened, then Xia Yu will definitely sit in the town in person. To be able to move the company''s headquarters into the Jiuding Building, the first one is that it is close enough to Xia Yu, and the other is the embodiment of the company''s strength. Although some of these reasons seemed funny, Xia Yu could understand them. So I had to come and see the scene in person, so that I could make a decision when I went back. Sit in the elevator to the top floor. Huo Jianning took a folder from the assistant beside him, unfolded it towards Xia Yu, and said at the same time: "Chairman, this is the re-adjusted distribution in the office based on the needs and applications submitted by the following companies for the second time." Please have a look at the plan." Xia Yu didn''t intend to let Huo Jianning hold it all the time, so he took it over and looked at it slowly. The others in the elevator subconsciously even breathed a lot easier. "Ding!" After a long time, with the soft sound of the elevator, the elevator door slowly opened. "Chairman, the top floor is here." "Okay." Xia Yu responded, withdrew his mind from the information in the folder, and led everyone out of the elevator. The area of ??the top floor is the smallest in the entire building, with only more than 400 square meters available for office use, of which Xia Yu''s office alone occupies 260 square meters, which of course includes suites. Xia Yu''s office was first arranged, completely according to Xia Yu''s ideas. As soon as you walk in, your first impression is that it is majestic and majestic. Although it is not resplendent, there are precious calligraphy and paintings on the walls, simple and elegant precious porcelain on the wall cabinets, and the desk is made of huanghuali wood. The bonsai placed are all trimmed very delicately. Pulling back the screen in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking downstairs through the glass, Xia Yu felt his breathing stagnate for a moment. "The layout is good, working in this kind of place, the mood can''t be bad, haha!" Xia Yu looked at Huo Jianning and the others, and smiled happily. Huo Jianning smiled hurriedly and said, "Chairman, no matter where you work, I don''t think there is anything that can make you feel bad." "Haha..." Xia Yu couldn''t help laughing. Watched for a while. at this time. Suddenly remembered the ringtone of Big Brother. Then I saw a subordinate open the bag, UU reading www.uukanshu. After looking at it, he handed the big brother to Huo Jianning, and said in a low voice, "Director, the number shows that it belongs to President Wang Qi." As Huo Jianning''s assistant, the little secretary has already firmly memorized the big phone numbers of some important people, so that he can analyze whether he should answer the call himself or hand it over to the leader in the first place. Huo Jianning picked it up and clicked to answer: "Hi, I''m Huo Jianning... yes... then I''ll ask the chairman for his opinion." After saying a few words, Huo Jianning took a few steps forward and reported to Xia Yuhui: "Chairman, it''s Wang Qi''s call. He happened to want to come here to have a look. He found our car and said that he just planned to report to you today. About Kirin Capital, I want to ask you if it is convenient for him to come up." Xia Yu''s expression moved slightly, remembering the instructions he gave Wang Qi to do in Northern Europe, he nodded slightly and said, "Let him come to the top floor." "OK." ¡­ ps: Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets, thank you! 82 Chinese Network v3 Chapter 1498: At a critical moment, re-elect the board of directors!

At the first moment, Wang Qi greeted with a smile all over his face. After all, he was his confidant, and Xia Yu didn''t deliberately put on airs. He smiled and said casually, "Find a place to sit by yourself." "Thank you, Chairman." As Wang Qi spoke, he moved two meters away from Xia Yu. Huo Jianning, on the other hand, asked the other subordinates to go out first and close the door without Xia Yu''s reminder, leaving only the three of them in the office. "Tell me, what''s the specific situation?" Facing Xia Yu''s question, Wang Qi immediately replied: "Chairman, according to your previous deployment, now Kirin Capital has established a branch in Stockholm, and all the funds of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars have been exchanged into Swedish krona. Entered." "Since January this year, the exchange rate of Swedish krona has been falling, from 6.619 Swedish krona to 1 US dollar to 6.502 Swedish krona to 1 US dollar. The average market exchange rate of our 30 billion Hong Kong dollars is 6.562 Swedish krona to 1 US dollar." ¡°So we are now entering the market with SEK 31.75 billion.¡± "Funds that first entered the market in the early stage have begun to buy the top stocks on the Stockholm Exchange." "As of the latest statistical data, in the past ten days, the capital entering the market has reached 12.48 billion Swedish kronor, leaving 19.27 billion Swedish kronor to enter the market." After listening to Wang Qi''s report, Xia Yu nodded slightly, and commented: "With the daily trading scale of the Stockholm Exchange, more than 10 billion funds can be entered into the market in ten days, and the efficiency is not bad." "Didn''t it arouse the vigilance of others?" Wang Qi shook his head decisively: "Not yet." Then he paused again, and continued: "However, according to the conservative analysis of the intelligent analysis team, when the funds entering the market reach 20 billion Swedish kronor, the probability of causing alarm will reach 80%." Xia Yu smiled and said, "It''s not conservative enough, maybe it will be noticed in two days." "But it doesn''t matter." "There are only more than 10 billion Swedish kronor left. If you are discovered by then, let''s make a big splash." Wang Qi nodded heavily and said, "Understood." "By the way, the chairman, according to the analysis team''s speculation, in the next few months, even if we do not take other actions, the exchange rate of the Swedish krona will further decline, and the range may reach 5%." "Once we make a big noise in Sweden and attract international hot money to follow suit, it will further push the exchange rate of the Swedish krona down, so the analysis team recommends long Swedish krona." A drop in the exchange rate represents an appreciation of the local currency, and the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar is tied to the U.S. dollar at 6.2 Hong Kong dollars to one U.S. dollar. With the leverage of 20 times to 400 times in the foreign exchange market, the drop may exceed 5%. This investment return may be guaranteed to exceed 1 times, or even dozens of times is not impossible! Wang Qi''s suggestion was something that Xia Yu hadn''t considered planning before. After all, his big plans were all aimed at the Nordic stock market. Now Wang Qi spent his time filling in the details, which made Xia Yu feel relieved. He couldn''t help but half-closed his eyes and thought. The benefits of promoting the substantial appreciation of the Swedish krona are obvious. The most intuitive one is that you can make more money, and the deeper benefit is to weaken the financial ties between the Wallenberg family and the outside world. After all, Kirin Capital Corporation attacked the Swedish stock market and sniped the Wallenberg family in all directions, so the Wallenberg family was forced to defend and counterattack and must mobilize most of the funds to enter the market. If the funds in Sweden are transferred, the exchange rate will not be affected at all, but if the funds are transferred from abroad to Sweden, then the exchange cost will soar due to the appreciation of the Swedish krona. So for the Wallenberg family, The appreciation of the Swedish Krona is like building a wall on Sweden''s financial border. The more it appreciates, the higher and stronger the wall will be, and the more difficult it will be for outsiders to come in, which will be more beneficial to Xia Yu''s grand strategy against Sweden. Of course, the premise is that all this can be realized as expected. On this point, Xia Yu said that he has absolute information. With his strength, even if he goes to war with the forces headed by the Rothschild family in England and Spain at the same time, he still has enough strength to open up a new battlefield again, and he is still the absolute leader. The main force, fight a frontal battle of annihilation in the enemy''s lair! After thinking for a long time, Xia Yu felt that Wang Qi''s suggestion was profitable, and the benefits were not small. therefore. He nodded in agreement: "Wang Qi, I agree with your plan, let''s do it freely." "If you don''t have enough funds, you can raise your bet with confidence, and I will give you enough financial support." Wang Qi was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, and he responded loudly: "Thank you for the support of the chairman, I will take care of it." Then, Wang Qi glanced at the document on the desktop again, and asked, "Chairman, I have one more matter, which is the area of ??our office building..." Before Wang Qi finished speaking, Xia Yu interrupted him directly, and scolded with a smile: "I still want to be cheap and behave, I will decide this matter, don''t waste your thoughts here." Wang Qi smiled awkwardly: "Good chairman, then I won''t bother you." After all, Wang Qiguo slipped away and quickly disappeared from Xia Yu''s sight. "This Wang Qi, when did he become so gaudy." Xia Yu couldn''t help sighing. Huo Jianning on the side couldn''t help laughing. ¡­ A few more days passed. Britain''s financial markets have become extremely chaotic, and the struggle on all sides has become particularly fierce. The most intense battlefield is the stock market, but the bond market and futures market are also blooming everywhere. Even the gold trading on the London Gold Exchange fluctuates so much that it triggers global economic shocks. Countries around the world have expressed their concerns and worries about the financial markets in the UK and Europe. But for the giants of all parties entering the field, the impact will not be affected later, and we will first try to grab the benefits as much as possible, UU reading www. uukanshu.com to achieve strategic goals is the most important. In this situation. The battle for NatWest has also reached a turning point, attracting the attention of countless people. Bright Fund Corporation. With George Berkeley giving an order, it took less than a minute. The London Stock Exchange disclosed an extremely explosive news, and it spread at an extremely fast speed, causing extremely profound shocks. "The Royal Bank of Scotland disclosed that within one day today, it has signed stock trading agreements with 15 companies one after another. At this time, it already holds 43.85% of the shares of National Westminster Bank and has become the largest shareholder." "The Royal Bank of Scotland proposed that because several former members of the National Westminster Bank''s board of directors have transferred their equity and withdrawn, the board of directors has been unable to normally lead the operation of the entire bank. Extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, re-election of the board of directors." ps: Please ask for the next monthly ticket and recommendation ticket, thank you ~: There are a lot of things going home today, tomorrow will be updated on Saturday I can only go home on weekends in a week, and I have a lot of things to deal with. I can¡¯t do it today. I¡¯m sorry. I will make up today¡¯s work tomorrow and Saturday. I hope everyone will be happy v3 Chapter 1499: The enemys skills are poor, so use dirty tricks! Chapter 1499 The enemy''s skills are poor, so they use dirty tricks! (first update) The information disclosed by the Royal Bank of Scotland is like thunder on the ground. The first to jump was Myron Barrett, the current chairman and president of National Westminster Bank. at this time. The senior executives of the National Westminster Bank who heard the news had different thoughts. When passing by the chairman''s office, some people subconsciously stepped lightly and glanced at the closed chairman''s office. Inside the office, the atmosphere was tense. Myron Barrett and his angry son Ron Barrett are negotiating urgently. With the support of Myron Barrett, Ron Barrett joined the National Westminster Bank a long time ago. Today, he is a director of the bank, and concurrently serves as the vice president and directly manages the credit department. "Father, the shareholding ratio of the Royal Bank of Scotland is so high that it is very close to 50%. With the strength of the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bright Fund behind it, it is difficult for us to stop it." "Are we losing NatWest?" Ron Barrett asked anxiously, looking at his father who was pacing back and forth. Seeing that his father did not answer for a long time, he continued to ask: "Father, it has been almost twenty days, and the support promised by the Rothschild family has not yet arrived. Is it because they are incapable of supporting us?" Hear the word Rothschild. Myron Barrett paused, and looked at Ron Barrett suddenly, his tone full of indignation: "Don''t mention the Rothschild family to me, if Jacob Rothschild will support us, You will not allow Yinruida Group to acquire the equity of our bank, but lend us money to acquire it!" "Jacob Rothschild said it nicely. He introduced me a powerful ally. I was deceived by him!" "Look at the equity acquired by Yinruida Group, it is basically held by people who originally supported us." "It''s not the equity of shareholders connected to the Rothschild family. How much has the Yinruida Group acquired? Isn''t it all acquired by the Bright Fund?" "You said, Yinruida Group can be regarded as an ally?" "If I get to the end, maybe my current position will become Peter Wallenberg!" Ron Barrett was stunned by his father''s series of questions. It took him a while to recover, and asked dryly, "Then what should we do?" "As the largest shareholder of Royal Bank of Scotland, with such a high shareholding ratio, the EGM can definitely be held." "If RBS acquires some more shares or wins over some shareholders, the voting rights will easily exceed 50%, and re-election of the board of directors is an unstoppable process." Myron Barrett remained silent for a long time. He silently took out a cigarette and lit it. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the gray sky, lost in thought. Until the whole cigarette is smoked. Only then did he turn his head to look at Ron Barrett, and said slowly: "Our family''s liquidity cannot be moved, and it won''t do anything to acquire equity." "Let''s get ready to change the court." "No matter what, let''s try to keep the equity held by our family as much as possible." "Of course it would be better if the RBS takeover failed..." ¡­ Just when Barrett and his son were having an urgent discussion. Peter Wallenberg, who was far away in Switzerland, was buzzing when he heard the news. It took half a minute to come back to his senses. Immediately afterwards, he picked up the encrypted phone and called Jacob Rothschild. After a long time, the phone was connected. Jacob Rothschild''s tired old voice came from the microphone: "Peter, you want to talk to me about the National Westminster Bank, right?" Peter Wallenberg immediately said into the microphone: "Yes, Jacob, so far , I have only acquired a total of 16.29% of the shares of National Westminster Bank, which is far behind the Royal Bank of Scotland! " When speaking, Peter Wallenberg was so excited that the veins in his old hand holding the microphone burst. "16.29%... Actually, this ratio is not too low..." Jacob Rothschild''s voice came again from the microphone. As Jacob Rothschild said. It has only been sixteen days since they gathered together on the night of January 23rd to discuss joining forces! In 16 days, it acquired 16.29% of the shares of National Westminster Bank from scratch. Speaking of this achievement, even a giant who is proficient in mergers and acquisitions like Goldman Sachs will give great admiration. This is definitely piled up with money, and it costs a lot! But who let the Wallenberg family lose the upper hand? Before the Wallenberg family intervened, Bright Fund had secretly acquired 24.18% of the shares of National Westminster Bank. It''s just a one-time announcement this time! "Jacob, even if this ratio is not low, the gap from the Royal Bank of Scotland is too big!" "Jacob, how much equity does your Barclays hold?" "3.72%!" "..." "Then even if Myron Barrett and I join forces, the equity held by the three of us is only 32.2%!" After another exchange, Peter Wallenberg''s mood improved, but he was still very heavy. According to this ratio, it is not far from the self-insurance line, but the gap with the Royal Bank of Scotland is still huge. What''s more, he has other worries in his heart. Myron Barrett, the current chairman of National Westminster Abbey and the original largest shareholder, may not necessarily fall to them. Even Myron Barrett was and is an ally of the Rothschild family! Peter Wallenberg put himself in his shoes. If the Royal Bank of Scotland promised himself that he would not be able to move his position as chairman as long as he turned to the other party, he might really agree. After all, the knife is already on the neck, and any allies are useless! If Myron Barrett defected. UU reading That''s what the Wallenberg family and the Rothschild family should think about how to survive the pressure and keep their interests. It seemed that he could see the urgency of Peter Wallenberg through the phone line. Jacob Rothschild comforted: "Peter, you should be steady first, don''t give up easily, now find a way to acquire as many shares as possible, and we will also will help you." "And I have an immature method, not sure if it will be successful..." Peter Wallenberg, who was listening, was shocked, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked: "Jacob, what can you do, tell me quickly!" There was silence on the phone for a while. Just when Peter Wallenberg wanted to ask for a second time, the voice finally came out again: "From the political level, the reason is that the merger of the Royal Bank of Scotland and the National Westminster Bank will destroy the British banking industry that has always been maintained. The good competitive atmosphere will bring a devastating blow to the British banking industry, so that the government will stop the acquisition!" ps: Please vote for the monthly and recommended tickets, thank you! v3 Chapter 1500: If the dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall, then give it a 1 stick! Chapter 1500 The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, then give it a stick! (seeking a monthly ticket) This method is sinister enough! But it made Peter Wallenberg see great hope. It¡¯s just that Peter Wallenberg was still sane. He thought of a very important point, and immediately asked into the microphone: ¡°Jacob, it¡¯s easy to report to the British government, but are you sure you can let the British government intervene or even stop it? ?¡± "I''m just an outsider, and I can''t compare to your family''s influence in the UK. I need your help!" Jacob Rothschild''s answer came again from the microphone: "Peter, I can only say that I will do my best!" This answer made Peter Wallenberg''s heart sink, and he wanted to continue to say something, but he couldn''t say anything when he opened his mouth. Jacob Rothschild said he would do his best, what more could he ask for? "Okay, I will also activate my power as an auxiliary, but I am waiting for your good news..." "Patter." After hanging up the phone, Peter Wallenberg looked very heavy. Thinking that none of his actions were successfully completed, he sighed. "Jacob Rothschild is so emboldened. It seems that the competition and pressure the Rothschild family faces in the UK is not as one-sided as I know." "I don''t know whether it is right or wrong for me to choose to form an alliance with them this time..." Jacob Rothschild seemed to feel that his allies were disappointed in him, so after hanging up the phone, he immediately ordered his subordinates to execute it. It was past ten in the morning. The British Ministry of Commerce and the British Monetary Authority received a report almost at the same time. This report letter came from Barclays Bank. The content of the report letter is very long, but it can be summed up in one sentence. "Royal Bank of Scotland''s hostile acquisition of National Westminster Bank is an act that seriously damages the industry''s healthy competitive atmosphere and will greatly disrupt the development order of the British banking industry!" In addition to submitting a letter of complaint. In order to put pressure on the British government and urge them to intervene as soon as possible. The spokesperson of Barclays Bank also publicly stated to the media: the British government should stop the Royal Bank of Scotland''s malicious acquisition of NatWest Bank. It will be the entire UK financial system! This hat is buttoned bigger than the sky! But I have to say, the effect is really amazing. Coupled with the media power mobilized by the Rothschild Consortium, the news spread a lot that day, attracting the attention of many people. And there are still some dirty tricks being used at the same time. For example, instructing a large number of people to call the Monetary Authority and the Ministry of Commerce, or organizing people to protest at the entrance of the Monetary Authority and the Commerce Department, demanding that the government stop such malicious mergers and acquisitions among major domestic banks. The heads of the British Monetary Authority and the Ministry of Commerce suddenly felt the pressure. Facing the turbulent "public opinion", while they are furious, they can only respond to the media immediately and intervene in the investigation, and will definitely make reasonable and appropriate handling according to the situation. Subsequently, this hot potato was thrown upwards, with the ultimate target directed at the Prime Minister. They are not stupid, and now it is obvious that the Rothschild family and the Guangming Consortium are fighting. Every step must be taken carefully, otherwise it will affect one''s political career, and even affect one''s own family. ¡­ NatWest Bank. With a gleam of joy on his face, Ron Barrett quickly came to the chairman''s office, pushed the door and walked in. "Father, good news, great news!" "Our turning point is here!" He didn''t even bother to sit down when he entered the door, Ron Barrett walked towards Myron who was sitting at the desk Barrett yelled loudly. "What good news?" Regardless of scolding his son for being unsteady in his forties, Myron Barrett sat up straight and asked in a hurry, "What''s the turning point?" "Hoo hoo..." "The Rothschild family made a move. Barclays just reported it to the Monetary Authority and the Ministry of Commerce, and..." Ron Barrett panted heavily, and quickly explained the first-hand information he had learned in detail. Myron Barrett also showed joy after listening to it, and the depression accumulated in his heart dissipated a lot. "It is indeed good news!" "Father, as long as the government steps in to stop it, then no matter how many shares the Royal Bank of Scotland has acquired, we have to honestly spit out most of the shares again, and our crisis will be resolved!" Ron Barrett was very happy, as if this scene would come true in the near future. But these words sounded a bit harsh to Myron Barrett, and it made his smile shrink a bit. He said slowly: "Ron, let''s not be too happy." "Our crisis has not completely disappeared." "Father, are you saying that the government might not stop it?" Ron Barrett asked puzzledly, frowning. Myron Barrett shook his head: "This is only a possibility! You may not understand that the Bright Consortium and its allies will not lose to the Rothschild family in political influence." "In particular, Ms. Margaret''s intimacy with the Bright Consortium is much higher than that of the Rothschild family." "And even if it is successfully stopped, the Royal Bank of Scotland will give up the acquisition and release the equity again, or it can be released to other companies in the Bright Consortium, and the acquisition can be re-initiated at that time." "If there is a better situation and the Guangming Consortium has completely given up, then don''t forget that there is also the Yinruida Group! The Wallenberg family has already made peace with the Rothschild family, and we are always abandoned!" Ron Barrett was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the joy he was filled with vanished into thin air. The feeling of exhaustion that had been ignored just now flooded his heart instantly, and he couldn''t help but sigh. "Hey, I didn''t expect these possibilities. I took it for granted and got carried away." Myron Barrett comforted: "This incident also has a certain effect on us." "At least we have some more breathing time." "And through this matter, it can also make us see more clearly, so that we can make a choice." Ron Barrett was shocked, and suddenly looked up at his father, only to find that his father''s back seemed to be bent a lot. He suddenly realized that his father might have had a very clear idea, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he couldn''t help calling softly: "Father." "What''s the matter, Ron?" Myron Barrett looked at his son with some puzzlement. "It''s nothing." Ron Barrett squeezed a smile and shook his head, but he couldn''t help comforting himself in his heart, "The family''s strength is not strong enough. Being able to run the National Westminster Bank for so many years, taking the opportunity to make the family''s strength skyrocket, is actually already It''s very lucky..." Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch. Hong Kong time, around seven o''clock in the evening. Xia Yu had just finished dinner, and was teasing the two children, Qi Zhe and Si Qi, in each hand. Suddenly, the satellite phone on the table by the wall rang. The number of this phone is only known to some core personnel inside, and it usually means something important when it rings. Everyone in Xia Yu''s family knew about it. Sandy and Kumiko who were sitting on the side hurriedly took the child from Xia Yu. "Ah Yu, go and answer the phone." "Little boy, Dad is going to answer the phone, and I will come back to play with you later." After Xia Yu handed over the two children to his wife, he smiled close to the two children, and then walked to the table without haste, and connected the phone. "Hi...George, what''s the matter?" "Oh?" Listening to George Berkeley''s narration, Xia Yu''s eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "The dog jumped the wall in a hurry, and all of them used off-the-board tricks. This is a good thing!" "George, it''s not convenient for me to contact Ms. Margaret directly about this matter, but I will tell others and let them come forward." "On your side, mobilize all the power of the media to let the enemy see and see, so as not to be underestimated by them." "The Wallenberg family won''t have the energy to take care of the National Westminster Bank soon, and maybe they will feel that the equity they hold is very hot now... You continue to deal with other matters, and remember to follow up on important matters in time. I say." "goodbye!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu couldn''t help showing a mocking smile with a "huh". After shaking his head slightly, he called Wang Qi and gave him an order: "Wang Qi, complete the layout as soon as possible, there is no need to be tied up!" "The dog jumped the wall in a hurry, it''s time to give it a blow!" "Understood!" Wang Qi answered decisively and loudly from the other end of the phone. ps: Chapters have officially reached 1500 chapters, and the number of words has also exceeded 4 million words today. Today is a day worth celebrating! v3 Chapter 1501: were in big trouble Chapter 1501 We Are in Big Trouble Swedish time, February 11, 11 am. Stockholm Stock Exchange. Market Monitoring Department. Minister Uriah Jefferson came to the monitoring center in the core office area of ??the department to understand the situation as a matter of routine. The intelligence of the market monitoring department, hi is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the overall operation of the stock market and systemic risks of the firm, paying attention to macro policies, hot public opinions, related markets and products and other influencing factors. Improve the monitoring system, write analysis reports, prompt major risks, and put forward policy recommendations in a timely manner. It can be said that the Market Monitoring Department is an extremely important department. "Have you noticed anything unusual?" Just when he was asking casually as usual, and walking around with ease. An employee sitting at the No. 2 position in the department hesitated for a moment, and said loudly, "Minister, I think there may be problems with these transactions." Uriah Jefferson was taken aback for a moment, then straightened his face, walked over quickly, and asked, "Heathrow, what''s the problem?" "I found four new accounts opened recently, the trading volume was astonishing, and the types of stocks bought were irregular and very messy." "More specific circumstances have yet to be verified, but my more than 20 years of work experience tell me that there may be some circumstances here." The employee named Heathrow said with some uncertainty. Uriah Jefferson subconsciously wanted to reprimand. After all, it is not rigorous enough to raise a problem without knowing whether it is really a problem. But he thought of Heathrow''s length of service and past manners, and he was cautious about whether he should trust Heathrow once. at this time. Heathrow''s debriefing appears to have given courage to others, too. Another reported: "Minister, I have also found a situation similar to that of Heathrow''s team leader." "This phenomenon seems to be happening in the area I''m in charge of." After Heathrow, two more people reported the situation. At this moment, Uriah Jefferson''s nerves immediately tensed up. After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered all the employees in the audience: "Everyone check themselves immediately, check which accounts have similar transactions, buy Which stocks are you looking for?" "I''m going to connect with other departments now to facilitate your investigation." As soon as he gave an order, the whole department immediately started to run quickly. Soon, as everyone confirmed each other, more and more information was investigated and summarized. All accounts eventually pointed to Kirin Capital. This is a new company in Stockholm, and it sounds familiar. And the stocks they buy are indeed varied, but most of them are stocks of listed giants. Ericsson Group, Electrolux, Asia Brown Boveri, Astra Pharmaceuticals, Saab Group, Scandinavian Airlines, SCA, Scania Group¡­ And the transaction amount that has been found out shocked Uriah Jefferson even more. More than 10 billion SEK! And as the investigation continues, more and more accounts are detected, and the transaction amount is getting bigger and bigger! at this time. A subordinate quickly walked up to him and reported: "Minister, I found out that Kirin Capital is a branch of Xiangjiang Kirin Capital. They also made a big news before. The seven funds they opened at the end of last month raised a total Nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars!" After Uriah Jefferson heard these contents, some vague memories instantly became clear. No wonder he felt the name Kirin Capital was familiar to him. It turned out that he had read the news some time ago and lamented that another world-class capital management company appeared. Rising from the head of the company. and many more! Kirin Capital is from the city known as the Pearl of the Orient¡ªXiangjiang? "How did they put such a huge amount of money into our stock market in Stockholm?" After thinking of this, Uriah Jefferson trembled all over, and the alarm bells rang wildly in his mind. "In addition to some basic work to be done, other people will fully cooperate with the investigation and find the results to me as quickly as possible." Uriah Jefferson ordered again with a solemn expression. In addition to eating and going to the toilet to consume some time at noon, everyone is working overtime. Wait until more than three o''clock in the afternoon. The complete situation was finally found out. His eyes scanned the series of account numbers and the complex and huge stock volume. His gaze finally settled on the sum totaled. 17.48214 billion SEK! And it took less than two weeks! What are they trying to do? Uriah Jefferson absolutely does not believe that the other party is very optimistic about the Swedish stock market, this is impossible! There is likely to be some conspiracy! It must be reported immediately! After realizing this. Uriah Jefferson immediately took the investigation and ran towards the office of Chairman Andre Wallenberg. "Boom!" "Come in!" Andre Wallenberg is the younger brother of Peter Wallenberg, the second person in the Wallenberg family, and the chairman of the Stockholm Stock Exchange. It is precisely because of his existence that many opportunities for the Wallenberg family to grow in strength have been discovered. The platform of the Stockholm Stock Exchange is definitely the power engine that boosts the Wallenberg family''s strength. Seeing Uriah Jefferson walking in with messy footsteps and a dignified expression, Andre Wallenberg put down the pen in his hand, crossed his palms, and asked in a deep voice: "Uriah, what made you look so flustered? " "Chairman, I found a very serious problem this morning. I have ordered people to work overtime to investigate the specific situation. This is the specific situation. Please give me instructions." When Uriah Jefferson answered, he had already arrived at Andre Wallenberg''s desk, and he immediately put the investigation materials on the desk. Andre Wallenberg frowned, picked up the material and looked at it without any nonsense. Because of the height of the website and the information gap, the same material content may look different to different people. Simply seeing the names written in the investigation materials cheered him up. Kylin Capital Corporation! This is a financial company belonging to the Xiangjiang Jiuding Consortium! And the Jiuding Consortium is a staunch ally of the Guangming Consortium! These two forces are also the vanguard against the Rothschild family. The most important thing is that the Wallenberg family is forming an alliance with the Rothschild family at this time and is at war with the Bright Consortium. This relationship alone shows that things are big. Not to mention. As Andre Wallenberg continued to look down, he found that all the companies that had been heavily bought in the statistics on this material were very familiar. Either it is the core pillar enterprise of the Wallenberg family, or it is a peripheral company with a great say. Without exception! The shocking stock buying volume made Andre Wallenberg feel more and more uneasy. Wait until he flips to the end. His gaze was fixed on the statistical amount of 17.48214 billion Swedish kronor. It was as if a mace appeared out of nowhere, and it hit him with stars in his eyes. He couldn''t sit still any longer. "boom ! " He slapped the table with a muffled sound, and he stood up abruptly, his face full of anger. UU reading "Director..." Uriah Jefferson was taken aback by Andre Wallenberg''s sudden movement, his heartbeat accelerated sharply, and a thought flashed in his mind, "Sure enough, there is a big problem, but luckily we found it." "You go out first and keep an eye on their movements." Andre Wallenberg waved his hand and ordered indifferently. "Yes." After answering, Uriah Jefferson left as if fleeing. And after Uriah Jefferson left, Andre Wallenberg stared at the investigation materials for half a minute, then picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers. Soon, the call was connected. He picked up the microphone and pressed it to his face, and said in a deep voice, "Peter, you must come back immediately, our family is in big trouble..." ps: Ask for a monthly pass! v3 Chapter 1502: The financial war is coming! Chapter 1502 The financial war is coming! (seeking a monthly ticket) In Sweden in early February, because it is located in the Arctic Circle, the days are short and the nights are long. After receiving a call from Andre Wallenberg. Peter Wallenberg got his **** burned and asked SAS to arrange an expedited flight back to Sweden. Wait until you get home. It was already 6:45 p.m. Swedish time, the sky was completely dark, and all the lights were turned on. When the figure of Peter Wallenberg appeared in the castle, a group of people sitting in the magnificent hall all stood up. "Peter, you are finally back!" The leader Andre Wallenberg breathed a sigh of relief and called out. Peter Wallenberg took a glance and found that all the core figures of the family were present. He didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately found the vacant seat in the middle and sat down, and then said: "Andre, I didn''t make it very clear on the phone, please tell me the specific situation." "I won''t talk about it for now. The specific situation is in this material. You can see it clearly after reading it." "I sent a copy to everyone." Andre Wallenberg took a copy of the material from the table and handed it to Peter Wallenberg. The latter is not too wordy, and immediately read it after receiving it. Even though the others had already read it, it was inconvenient to discuss it at this time, so they took the material and read it again. Unlike Peter Wallenberg, they stopped and frowned from time to time to think. After a long time. Peter Wallenberg finally read it all. Seeing him raise his head, someone was relatively irritable and couldn''t help asking: "Peter, you already understand the situation, now we should discuss how to deal with it." "It''s already obvious that Kirin Capital just wants to attack our family in an all-round way." "That''s right, we must defeat the enemy, otherwise the entire Swedish financial order will collapse!" "..." When one person spoke, the others expressed their opinions one after another. Peter Wallenberg listened in silence, wondering what he was thinking. At this time. Andre Wallenberg, who sat closest to him, asked a very critical question: "Peter, what is the situation in your charge? What about the acquisition results and the amount of funds used?" "It seems that the acquisition of NatWest is not going well?" The living room fell silent for a moment, and everyone''s eyes focused on Peter Wallenberg. Peter Wallenberg nodded slightly and sighed softly: "It''s really not going well." "Currently we have acquired a 16.29% stake in National Westminster Bank at a cost of 1.124 billion pounds." "The acquisition of a 34.28% stake in Longao Asset Management in Geneva, Switzerland, cost $389 million." "There are also ... and other companies'' equity, which cost a total of 413 million U.S. dollars." "Calculated in US dollars, the total is 2.495 billion US dollars!" Hearing this figure, everyone quickly calculated based on the current exchange rate and came up with an approximate figure. More than 16 billion SEK! For the Wallenberg family, this is also a huge sum! What was taken out was real working capital! "The acquisition did not go well. If we continue to go down, we will need more funds. This..." Someone couldn''t help but analyze in a low voice. Say no results, yes. For example, Longao Asset Management Co., Ltd. in Geneva, Switzerland, has won 34.28% of the equity, and the relative controlling stake has been won. As long as you continue to work harder, you don''t need to complete mergers and acquisitions or absolute holdings. You only need to hold more than 50% of the shares. For Valen Definitely an exciting result for the Fort family. Just continue to implement the strategy, but need real liquidity. But in the current situation, working capital is very important. Because no one knows how much money will be invested to resist the enemy''s attack. "Let''s talk about the situation of the assets under management, especially the working capital, how much can be provided immediately, and how much can be raised in half a month." Peter Wallenberg finally spoke up. "I can raise 800 million Swedish kronor now, and I should be able to raise another 1 billion Swedish kronor in half a month without affecting the operation of the company." "I can now scrape together 650 million Swedish kronor..." "..." After careful consideration, everyone told the specific situation one after another. Peter Wallenberg notes them one by one. After everyone finished speaking, he combined the situation of Yinruida Group and SEB he managed to calculate two figures. He didn''t hide it, and said directly to everyone: "According to statistics, our current liquidity should be 24.3 billion Swedish kronor, and we can raise another 29 billion Swedish kronor in half a month." "Of course, if we can take over and control the Longao Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland, then we can still have a relatively large source of funds." Add the already used funds of more than 16 billion Swedish kronor, and add these two figures. In other words, the Wallenberg family''s ability to mobilize funds within half a month can reach 69.3 billion Swedish kronor, which is more than 10 billion U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars! This strength is absolutely top-notch in Europe, and it is completely in line with the strength and status of the Wallenberg family. If you make it harder, sell your assets or take a huge risk to mortgage, you will definitely be able to raise more funds. It''s just that Peter Wallenberg didn''t want to act like a strong man cutting off his wrists until the end of his life. "Everyone already knows the amount of funds." "Now that the family''s strategic plan has reached a certain level, let''s talk about it. In this case, how should we choose?" After speaking, Peter Wallenberg glanced over everyone''s faces, but found that no one spoke immediately. "I think, we are still cautious. Except for continuing to acquire Longao Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland, the acquisition of National Westminster Bank is temporarily suspended. We will wait for the situation in the UK to become clear before making a decision. All other acquired shares will be sold. .¡± "Then bring all the funds that have been transferred abroad to the country first." "After all, we all know that the Kirin Capital company in Xiangjiang raised 60 billion Hong Kong dollars last month. In terms of liquidity alone, even if we raise funds half a month later, we may not be able to compare with them." "Of course, the premise is that Kirin Capital will use all the 60 billion Hong Kong dollars against us." "But we still have to take into account the terrifying Jiuding consortium behind Kirin Capital!" One person just finished a long story. Another person immediately went on to say: "That''s right, besides this, we have to consider international hot money." "Everyone should be able to imagine that once we don''t scare off Kirin Capital in a short period of time, then other international hot money will pounce on us and bite us hard. At that time, our troubles will be even greater." "I think we have to prepare for the worse, that is, to completely abandon the strategy of acquiring National Westminster Bank. If we can really hold it in our hands and have the financial support of this bank, we will be more confident, but Obviously, there is nothing to do now, instead of being locked up with 1.124 billion pounds of funds, it is better to withdraw in time and shrink back to self-insurance.¡± "I agree!" "..." "Andrei, what''s your opinion? ? " After everyone else had finished talking, Peter Wallenberg looked at his brother next to him again. "Let''s prepare for the worst. Compared with pioneering, it is more important for us to keep our original assets." "If Kirin Capital is allowed to infiltrate on a large scale, it will be difficult for us in the future." "After all, we are still in a critical period at this time. The family''s reform plan is only halfway through, and there are still many risk points." Andre Wallenberg expressed his opinion solemnly. The reforms he mentioned began after Peter Wallenberg took over the power of the family in 1982, but it was only last year that the drastic implementation began. It is indeed very important to the Wallenberg family. The effect of the reform is also very remarkable. Peter Wallenberg was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Since everyone''s opinions are so unified, let me share my opinion." "Acquisition continues for Longao Asset Management in Geneva, Switzerland." "The acquisition of National Westminster Bank is on hold for the time being, and I will act according to the opportunity later. If it is impossible, I will sell it." "Other recently acquired assets will be disposed of, and UU Kanshu will transfer all funds back to China." "Everyone else will raise funds. Tomorrow, Andre and I will be in the middle to command, snap up the equity of our core company from the stock market, and keep the assets." "Tonight is to make a detailed plan first, and at the same time, try to meet the shareholders of some important companies tomorrow." "Do you have any comments?" "No!" Everyone shook their heads in unison. Peter Wallenberg clenched his fists, suppressed his inner unwillingness, and continued: "Okay, then let''s continue to discuss the detailed plan." ¡­ The lights of the Wallenberg family castle did not go out until early in the morning. the next day. With the huge amount of funds from the Wallenberg family entering the market, the offensive and defensive battle of the Stockholm stock market has begun in full swing! v3 Chapter 1503: Huge floating profit for half a month (with easter eggs) Since the British Financial Times Group produced the FTSE series of indexes, it has indeed greatly stimulated the British stock market. Many European countries have followed suit and launched similar indices. For example, the Paris index of France, the CAX30 index of West Germany and so on. Without exception, the emergence of these indexes has played a huge guiding role in the country''s financial market. So Sweden also chose to follow up. It''s just that their progress is a bit slow. It was on September 30, 1986 that the Stockholm 30 Index was officially launched. This is a weighted index that includes the thirty most traded company stocks. The initial base point is 500 points. Until now. The Stockholm 30 Index has been running for more than four months, and it is running very well. It has indeed brought positive effects to the Swedish financial market. Coupled with the further improvement of the global economic environment in the past. The volume of goods exported by Sweden, a highly export-oriented country with an economy as high as 80 percent dependent on foreign trade, has been growing. Therefore, most of the stock prices of these listed companies in Sweden are rising. Today, the Stockholm 30 Index has basically stabilized at a level above 600 points. On Thursday, February 12, the weather was fine. 9 a.m. Swedish time. At this time, Xiangjiang had already passed the Lantern Festival Eve, and everyone was asleep. The Stockholm Stock Exchange has long been crowded, and employees of various institutions are already gearing up and waiting for the opening of the market. The Stockholm Stock Exchange is controlled by the Wallenberg family. Naturally, the Yinruida Group of the Wallenberg family has the best trading place. In the huge studio, all the traders are in full swing, and Peter Wallenberg and Andre Wallenberg sit in command together. "action!" When they saw the pointer on the watch jump to the full hour, and Peter Wallenberg''s cold voice sounded, everyone immediately took action. immediately. Stockholm 30 stock prices of Ericsson AG, Astra Pharmaceuticals AG, Asia Brown Boveri (abb) AG, Electrolux AG, Volvo Group, Saab Group, Stora Paper AG, etc. rise. And a large number of buy orders were placed. Just when Yinruida Group had just placed a large-scale purchase order. Wang Qi, who personally went to Sweden to take command of the Swedish branch of Kirin Capital, immediately discovered it. Yesterday, he received the information that Xia Yu asked the members of the network to give him, informing him that Peter Wallenberg had returned to Stockholm from Switzerland, and that the Wallenberg family was expected to take action the next day, so let him keep an eye on it. Seeing this scene at this moment, how could he not know that it was the Wallenberg family who did it? In an instant, the blood in Wang Qi''s heart began to boil. The enemy has entered the field, and the long-awaited financial war is finally here. He wants to leave behind his great reputation as Wang Qi in Sweden and create his own legend. Although there are more than 200 listed companies on the Stockholm stock market, there are not many with high market capitalization. Among the more than 200 listed companies, there are four with a current market value of more than 20 billion SEK! ABB, Astra Pharmaceuticals, Ericsson, and Atlas Copco are members of the first echelon. Yesterday, Wednesday afternoon, when the market closed. ABB''s stock price closed at SEK 23.801 per share, with a market capitalization of SEK 27.134 billion. Astra Pharmaceuticals'' shares closed at SEK 66.142 per share, with a market capitalization of SEK 24.471 billion. Ericsson''s share price closed at 36.374 Swedish kronor per share, with a market value of 23.166 billion Swedish kronor. Atlas Copco''s stock price closed at SEK 27.920 per share, with a market capitalization of SEK 22.839 billion. The Stockholm 30 closed at 623.37. As the hands began to clash, the stock prices of various companies began to rise with the price of a series of buy orders. The Stockholm 30 Index also began to fluctuate violently. Take Astra Pharmaceuticals, for example. When the market opened, the stock price jumped directly to 68.348 SEK per share. Then just three minutes passed. The stock price rose directly to 72.285 SEK per share. Compared with yesterday''s closing price, the increase reached 9.28%! The market value directly rushed to SEK 26.74545 billion. If it were yesterday, it would be within reach of surpassing the market value of abb company and jumping to the capital of the stock market. But now it is impossible. Because three minutes passed. The stock price of abb company fluctuated more violently, and the increase directly exceeded 10%. The market value of abb company exceeded SEK 30 billion, becoming the first company in the history of the Stockholm Stock Exchange to exceed the market value of SEK 30 billion! At the moment when the market value of abb company broke through, there was a burst of amazement in the exchange, but everyone''s attention was soon attracted by the chaotic trading situation. Wait until the market break at noon. Wang Qi glanced at the information on the electronic screen. abb company: The stock price is 28.789 Swedish kronor per share, and the total market value is 32.829 billion Swedish kronor. Astra Pharmaceuticals: The stock price is 83.418 Swedish kronor per share, with a total market value of 30.864 billion Swedish kronor. Ericsson: The stock price is 43.903 Swedish kronor per share, and the total market value is 27.966 billion Swedish kronor. Atlas Copco: The stock price is 33.448 Swedish kronor per share, and the total market value is 27.36 billion Swedish kronor. ¡­ soon. The transaction situation in the morning was summarized in Wang Qi''s hands. He was sitting in the office, concentrating on the report in his hand. abb company, with a total shareholding of 163.01 million shares, accounting for 14.30% of the total share capital. Among them, 158.23 million shares were bought before February 11, at an average purchase price of 2.0317 SEK per share, costing 3.21476 billion SEK, and a floating profit of 1.34052 billion SEK...Buy 4.78 million shares on the morning of February 12, at an average purchase price 27.245 SEK per share, cost 130.23 million SEK, floating profit 0.0738 million SEK.

Among them, 53.24 million shares were bought before February 11, with an average purchase price of 6.0274 SEK per share, costing 3.20899 billion SEK, and a floating profit of 1.23219 billion SEK... On the morning of February 12, 2.17 million shares were bought at an average purchase price 74.184 SEK per share, cost 160.98 million SEK, floating profit 0.2004 million SEK. Ericsson has a total shareholding of 83.64 million shares, accounting for 13.13% of the total share capital. Among them, 79.43 million shares were bought before February 11, with an average purchase price of 32.472 SEK per share, and a cost of 2.57925 billion SEK. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com floating profit of 907.96 million Swedish kronor... On the morning of February 12, 4.21 million shares were bought at an average purchase price of 40.218 Swedish kronor per share, costing 169.32 million Swedish kronor, and floating profit of 15.51 million Swedish kronor. Atlas Copco has a total shareholding of 132.1 million shares, accounting for 16.15% of the total share capital. Among them, 125.89 million shares were bought before February 11, with an average purchase price of 25.476 SEK per share, costing 3.20717 billion SEK, and a floating profit of 1.0036 billion SEK... On the morning of February 12, 6.21 million shares were bought at an average purchase price 31.324 SEK per share, cost 194.52 million SEK, floating profit 0.1319 million SEK. ¡­ The amount of used funds is SEK 18.53485 billion, the amount of remaining funds is SEK 13.21515 billion, the market value of shareholding is SEK 25.09656 billion, and the total floating profit is SEK 6.56171 billion. This floating profit, according to the latest exchange rate, has reached 1 billion U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars. this report. If it is exposed, it will definitely cause a huge shock. The floating profit rate has reached 35%! Moreover, it has only been half a month since entering the market at the very beginning! ps: No wonder I couldn¡¯t finish writing yesterday. It¡¯s a headache just to calculate the data. Without data support, it seems empty and unintuitive. In order to ensure reasonableness, I simply checked the exchange rate, market value, transaction volume and Others waited for a series of data, and then made a table, it was finally intuitive, but in a blink of an eye, more than three hours passed/covered face Please vote for the monthly ticket, thank you! Read the latest chapter of Rebirth: The Most Powerful Tycoon, please follow() v3 Chapter 1504: 8.6 billion ammunition consumed in 2 days Chapter 1504 Consumes 8.6 billion ammunition in two days "This is the first day of the official fight, and there is a floating profit of 35%, and I am looking forward to the future gains..." After sighing, Wang Qicai put down the stock market report with satisfaction. Immediately afterwards, he picked up the situation in the foreign exchange market. The time to enter the foreign exchange market is much later than the time to enter the stock market. But because entering the Swedish foreign exchange market now, after all, it is not like Xia Yu maliciously smashed the currency exchange system of Australian dollars and Canadian dollars before. There is no need to involve currency exchange, and you can also use ultra-high leverage to allocate funds. Therefore, the value of foreign exchange contracts held has reached 9.8 billion US dollars. Compared with the global foreign exchange market, the proportion of Sweden''s foreign exchange market is relatively small, and it is not as good as the Canadian foreign exchange market. But compared with the Australian foreign exchange market, the gap is not big. Now the latest price is Swedish Krona USD (sekd) 0.1531, which means that the offshore exchange rate of Swedish Krona to USD at this time is 6.5189:1. Kylin Capital started to open long positions at 0.1520 Swedish Krona USD (sekd). So far, a total of 98,000 contracts have been bought, each worth $100,000, so the total contract value is $9.8 billion. But because the margin is 1% and a hundred times leverage is used, the actual margin is only 98 million US dollars. The floating profit of the current foreign exchange contract is not much, only 3.92 million US dollars. But Wang Qi believes that the Swedish foreign exchange market will fluctuate violently soon. Because news of Kirin Capital''s attack on the Swedish stock market has begun to spread in the financial world. The news will soon ferment. When the international hot money rushes in with a huge amount of money, it will be difficult for the Swedish foreign exchange market to fluctuate violently! ¡­ The actual situation was just as Wang Qi expected. In the next day and a half. The stock market war between Kirin Capital Corporation and the Wallenberg family was in full swing, and many international hot money rushed in. A large amount of funds entered Sweden, which promoted the rapid appreciation of the Swedish krona. As of Friday afternoon, it just corresponds to the stock market being closed. The Swedish krona dollar (sekd) has risen to 0.1577. Kirin Capital also continued to buy Swedish krona dollar (sekd) contracts during this day and a half, increasing the number of contracts in hand to 127,000 lots. The total floating profit of foreign exchange contracts reached 54.51 million US dollars. certainly. The current floating profit in foreign exchange is nothing compared to the floating profit in the stock market. February 13 is Friday, and the stock market will be suspended for two days after the market is closed this afternoon. At the close, the stock price of abb has reached SEK 38.218 per share, and the company''s total market value has reached a new high, reaching SEK 43.56852 billion. Kirin Capital''s cumulative investment in the stock market has also reached 21.75108 billion Swedish kronor. And further increase the shareholding ratio of each company. abb company 172.5 million shares, accounting for 15.13% of the total share capital. Astra has 62.75 million shares, accounting for 16.96% of the total share capital. Ericsson has 94.06 million shares, accounting for 14.77% of the total share capital. Atlas Copco has 149.52 million shares, accounting for 18.28% of the total share capital. ¡­ The total floating profit of all shares held amounted to SEK 14,574,100,000. According to the latest exchange rate of 6.3411 SEK to 1 US dollar, the floating profit in US dollars is as high as 2.29835 billion US dollars. The floating profit rate is as high as 67%! And this battle is just the beginning That''s all! at the same time. after the stock market closes. Peter Wallenberg, who was in charge of Yinruida Group, finally let out a long sigh of relief, and then a deep sense of exhaustion came to his heart. He couldn''t help leaning on the back of the office chair, and murmured in a low voice, "I''m really old, but I''m so tired after two days of intense brain work." He closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened them again. The secretary knocked on the door and walked in, handing him the latest statistical report. After glancing at the series of data above and the final amount of funds used, a gloomy glint flashed in his eyes. But in front of the secretary, he didn''t say anything. After sending the secretary away, he picked up the phone and made several calls one after another, then picked up the report and left Yinruida Group, and drove to his home. Not long after he left for home. Also in the urban area, but on the other side of the Stockholm Stock Exchange, Andre Wallenberg also waited for the required statistics, and then rushed home. Wait until after six o''clock in the evening. The core members of the Wallenberg family gathered together again. After closing the door. Peter Wallenberg scanned the crowd and without wasting time, said loudly, "Let me report the situation first." "In the past two days, we have successively acquired 1.87% of the shares of ABB, 1.76% of Astra Pharmaceuticals, 1.61% of Ericsson, 2.96% of Atlas Copco, Elec 2.11% of the shares of the Volvo Group, 1.66% of the shares of the Volvo Group, 1.37% of the shares of the Saab Defense Group, 2.07% of the shares of the Douglas Paper Company, 2.96% of the shares of the Sanvitek Company, and 3.13% of the shares of the Shengbai Iron and Steel Company..." After reading the equity acquisitions of more than 50 listed companies to the report in one breath. Peter Wallenberg stopped, took a sip of water to moisturize his dry throat, and then said in a heavy tone: "The total cost is 8.6904 billion Swedish kronor!" Peter Wallenberg had just finished speaking. Even though everyone present was mentally prepared, they were still shocked by this number and couldn''t help discussing it. "How could it cost so much?" "The existing liquidity we counted the day before yesterday was only 24.3 billion Swedish kronor, and now it''s only been two days, and one-third of it has been used up!" "We''re under a lot of pressure..." "..." Peter Wallenberg, who was already highly exhausted, felt very irritable after hearing the noisy discussions. He knocked on the table, raised his voice and said, "Everyone be quiet!" The room suddenly fell silent. He explained: "The most important reason why the capital consumption is so large is that the stock prices of various companies have risen too fast." "You only need to look at the companies you manage to see that some companies'' stock prices have risen by 70% in two days, and more have doubled directly!" "And you have to know that there are more than 50 related listed companies directly controlled by our family and controlled behind the scenes. Our stall is too big." "Now the funds have consumed 8.6 billion Swedish kronor. This is because I adjusted the strategy in time and controlled the use of funds." "Only the equity acquisition of the ten core companies consumes 6.885 billion Swedish kronor." "The other forty or so listed companies only spent SEK 1.924 billion to increase their equity holdings." "If the enemy attacks these more than 40 listed companies in a targeted manner, then based on our current increase in holdings, it is foreseeable that most of the companies will leave us!" After listening to Peter Wallenberg''s explanation, everyone looked at each other and understood the difficulty of the situation and Peter Wallenberg''s pressure. "Andre, tell me what you have mastered here. Happening. " Seeing that the clansmen understood, Peter Wallenberg did not continue to explain, but looked at Andre Wallenberg beside him and said. Andre Wallenberg straightened his mind and said: "Let me talk about some data first." "Yesterday''s turnover on the Stockholm Stock Exchange reached SEK 9.4 billion, and today''s turnover has skyrocketed to SEK 13.2 billion." "Before that, the average daily turnover in January was only SEK 3.4 billion." "The turnover on February 12 has been rising, and the average daily turnover is only SEK 4.5 billion." "From these data, everyone should have guessed that after the news was exposed in the past two days, funds from many channels emerged, which made the transaction data very complicated." "This has made it more difficult for our exchange''s data supervision and analysis work, and it is even more difficult to grasp the trends of Kirin Capital." "And it doesn''t rule out that Kirin Capital Company has activated a new strange account, or the Jiuding Consortium behind it has arranged other means. If the latter situation exists, then we can''t find it out now. UU Reading " "As far as the current situation is concerned." "Kirin Capital spent nearly three billion Swedish kronor in total in the past two days." "So compared to what Peter said just now, we were able to spend more than 8 billion yuan in these two days, which is actually a good thing at present." "Continuing to fight, the stock price will continue to soar, and our later acquisition costs will become higher and higher. It is a good thing to be able to buy more stocks now." Someone couldn''t help sighing after listening to it: "This analysis is indeed a good thing, but I''m afraid that our current liquidity and the speed of fund raising can''t keep up with the speed of consumption." Peter Wallenberg and Andre Wallenberg looked at each other, and they both saw the worry and solemnity in each other''s eyes. This is indeed a very tricky question! ps: It¡¯s so embarrassing. No one expected to send a notice on Friday. This weekend, the entire county will cancel the holiday and work overtime for two days. I can only write at night, and the supplementary work will be wasted. I¡¯m really sorry ~: The card is terrible, soliciting inspiration A shameless author is soliciting inspiration online, crowdfunding and writing a book! As far as the recent European main plot is concerned, more than half of the stalls have been rolled out. According to the outline, there is still more to be done, but the ongoing branch lines must also be developed, and each branch line is related to each other and carried out simultaneously. According to normal logic, a change in the plot direction of one branch will lead to a change in another branch, so every time I sit and think about the plot, my mind is messed up, and there will always be loopholes somewhere, which is easy It''s an insult to people''s IQ, and I don''t want to deceive myself and pretend that I don''t know how to write with my eyes closed, so I am hesitant to delete, delete, and modify. I can¡¯t finish writing a chapter tonight. Everyone can speak freely based on the European plots of the past few dozen chapters, and remind me which aspects I have neglected or missed, or which aspects can be further expanded and written, or have other good operable inspirations , Welcome to leave a comment in this chapter, thank you! v3 Chapter 1505: will of the highest Chapter 1505 The Will of the Top Level "Peter, have you calculated how much money we need at least now?" "Or, according to the current shareholding ratio of our family in each company, how much money is needed to reduce the risk?" Andre Wallenberg thought for a while, and asked the key question that everyone cared about. "That''s a hard question to answer!" Peter Wallenberg said, frowning. But he also realized that it is necessary to have a relatively intuitive data on the demand for funds, otherwise it will affect strategic decision-making. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea. "Wait a mininute." After he said that, he suddenly got up to look for something. After a while, he came back with a notebook in his hand. Then he took out the paper and started writing. Andre Wallenberg sat beside him, watching quietly. abb company, currently holds 31.34% of the shares, and the stock price is 47.856 SEK per share... Astra Pharmaceuticals, currently holds 29.71% of the shares, with a stock price of 134.658 SEK per share... Ericsson, currently holds 32.69% of the shares, the stock price¡­ Atlas Copco, currently holds 24.39% of the shares¡­ Electrolux Corporation, currently holds 28.28% of the shares... Volvo Group, currently holds 26.97% of the shares... Saab Defense Company, currently holds 35.19% of the shares¡­ Stora Paper Company, currently holds 34.21% of the shares... ¡­ ten minutes passed Several sheets of paper are densely packed with data and information. After writing these. Peter Wallenberg again estimated the amount of funds needed based on the holdings. Here we go. After only estimating the capital needs of more than a dozen listed companies, his face turned ugly, and he stopped writing and stopped calculating. "Let''s take a look!" As he spoke, he circulated the information to everyone. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay after seeing it, and remained silent. Even if they haven''t calculated all of them, they can make a rough estimate based on the shareholding, the latest stock price, and the expected position of the stock price in the future. If these more than 50 companies want to keep it. Do not! Even if those core companies and medium and large companies want to keep them, even if they just increase the shareholding ratio to 50%, then the capital demand is conservatively over 100 billion Swedish kronor. This amount of funds is too large. Without dealing with asset financing, the Wallenbergs had no choice but to find someone to lend. With the current situation in Europe, if you want to borrow money or borrow huge amounts of money, don''t even think about it. Even if there is collateral, it is not possible to borrow in a short time. The current cash flow of more than 20 billion SEK has already spent more than 8 billion, leaving more than 15 billion. Even within half a month, another 29 billion SEK will be raised. The sum is only more than 40 billion Swedish kronor. Not even half of the demand is met! "Obviously, there is no need for us to hesitate, let''s abandon the acquisition of NatWest Bank and get back as much money as possible." "We have three options." "One is to fight to the death with the Bright Consortium, and sell our shares to the Rothschild family or other hostile forces of the Bright Consortium, so that they can continue to fight." "The second is that we use this as a bargaining chip to seek peace from the Bright Consortium and ask its ally Kirin Capital to withdraw from Sweden." "The third is to sell the equity to other forces, whoever bids the highest will sell it, and then we will sell the equity to Kirin Capital. Division beat back. " These three options are in front of us, but it is difficult to choose... And actually. There is not much time left for the Wallenberg family to choose. Because in the UK, after three days, the acquisition of National Westminster Bank has become a matter of national concern. have to say. The media empire that Xia Yu spent so much effort and capital building is absolutely unparalleled in strength. "The Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Daily Mirror", "Daily Record" and other major national newspapers are all advocating the merger of Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest good thing. The British paper media controlled by Xia Yu alone accounted for 52% of the national newspaper circulation and 31% of the local newspaper circulation in the UK. His own strength alone is more than half of the majority, and some other media are also controlled by allies, or they themselves stand in a supportive position. In terms of TV stations and radio stations, after several years of accumulation, the Bright Consortium is also in a dominant position. Under the combination of the two. Public opinion can''t turn the sky at all! The trend of public opinion is completely heading in a direction that the Rothschild family does not want to see. So the most important thing is to see how the British government makes decisions. therefore. It was inconvenient for Xia Yu to come forward, and it was also inconvenient for George Berkeley to come forward. Xia Yu then asked his father-in-law, Carter Howard, who was also an ally of the Bright Consortium, to help. Friday night. After Margaret Thatcher came home from get off work in Downing Street, two Rolls-Royces pulled into her yard. Immediately afterwards, the bodyguard opened the car door, and Duke Carter Howard got out of the car. "Good evening, Lady Margaret!" "Duke of Norfolk, you are welcome, come and sit in the house." "..." The two elderly people shook hands and said a few words of greeting, then walked into the room together, and the bodyguards followed behind with some gifts. After entering the house, I saw Margaret Thatcher''s husband and children, greeted them again, and gave them small gifts. Then, for the convenience of talking about things, the two went straight upstairs to the study. "Ms. Margaret, the general election for the House of Commons will be held in June, and there are less than four months left before the general election. Is the Conservative Party ready?" After Margaret Thatcher''s husband served coffee for the two, Duke Carter Howard asked with a smile. Margaret Thatcher spread her hands helplessly: "I want to say that we are ready, but our opponents are pressing harder and harder. No one can tell until the end." "You know, Neil Ginnock''s Labor Party has reorientated and slowly moved towards a more centrist policy platform, but the direction is still the main progressive line of the center left, and there are many supporters." "David Owen of the Social Democratic Party and David Steele of the Liberal Party are strong leaders. Although the strength of the two parties is relatively weak, there is a faint intention of an alliance to jointly run for a cabinet." "The challenges facing our Conservative Party are too many!" Carter Howard nodded, and replied: "Indeed, the Conservative Party has been in leadership for almost two terms, and the novelty of the people has passed, and the uncertainty is indeed relatively large." "But I think, Ms. Margaret, you have many friends. As long as everyone continues to support the Conservative Party, I think the probability of the Conservative Party winning the third general election will not be low." "Again, the Conservative Party''s campaign has focused on lower taxes, a strong economic and defense policy, and unemployment this year has fallen below 30,000 for the first time since 1981, while inflation is around 4%, standing near 20 lowest level of the year." "Just let the people see your policies Feasibility, with the support of various important industries for you, I think they will know how to vote. " Margaret Thatcher''s eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "Duke Carter, which industries do you think are more important to support, and how should you support them?" Carter Howard replied with a smile: "If the economy wants to develop, it must rely on the high turnover and flow of funds, so the importance of the financial industry bears the brunt." "In the financial industry, the banking industry is the most core and fundamental part." "I can get HSBC, Standard Chartered, Barings, Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, Chinese Mercantile Bank and NatWest to all announce lower lending rates to support the government''s economic construction plan." Of the seven nationally large British banks mentioned by Carter Howard, the first six either belong to the Guangming Consortium or are in the same camp as the Guangming Consortium. Only NatWest is not! Carter Howard can''t be the master at all now, but he said it here, and the meaning is self-evident. As long as the National Westminster Bank is taken down, the seven banks can give a strong boost to the Conservative Party! Margaret Thatcher took a sip of coffee, looked at Carter Howard with a wry smile and said, "Sir Carter, you have created a problem for me." Carter Howard smiled immediately: "This is not a problem. The British banking industry also needs strong support from the government, and then it will go to the world and absorb nutrients from all over the world to build Britain." Margaret Thatcher thought for a long time, then nodded: "Britain really needs a stronger bank to compete with the banking giants of other countries..." The smile on Carter Howard''s face suddenly brightened. ps: I¡¯ve read everyone¡¯s opinions, and they really inspired me a lot, but most of them can¡¯t be used immediately, so I recorded them first and adjusted them later.

"British Monetary Authority: The merger of RBS and NatWest will have a catfish effect on the banking industry! " "Ministry of Commerce: Grand Royal Bank''s acquisition of NatWest Bank is a normal business practice and does not involve monopoly!" " the next day. Even on Saturday, the spokespersons of the British Monetary Authority and the Ministry of Commerce were interviewed by the media and responded positively to a series of questions. This attitude caused an uproar. Many people did not expect that from the report on February 10 to today, February 14, only four days later, the British government has already investigated and made a clear statement. In the castle estate of the Rothschild family. Jacob Rothschild was walking in the garden, flexing his rusty muscles. At this moment, the mobile phone in the butler''s bag beside him suddenly rang. After the butler connected, he handed it to Jacob Rothschild: "Master, it''s your cousin Mr. Evelyn''s phone number." "Hey, Evelyn...what?" As soon as he got on the phone, Jacob Rothschild''s expression was relaxed and natural at first, but he froze within a few seconds, and the hand holding the phone was subconsciously strained and his veins bulged. "call¡­" "I see, it looks like we''re going to lose again..." After hanging up the phone. Jacob Rothschild immediately called Myron Barrett. It''s just that the call has not been connected for a long time, and the uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger. His intuition is indeed accurate. Because Myron Barrett was taking the initiative to call George Berkley at this time. The moment he heard the news, Myron Barrett made up his mind decisively and fell to the Bright Consortium. "...Okay, President Berkeley, I''ll leave in a moment and go to your office." "beep!" After hanging up the phone. Myron Barrett sat down on the chair with a complicated expression on his face. Ron Barrett, who had been watching his father on the phone, couldn''t help comforting him: "Father, you don''t have to feel guilty. After all, this decision was discussed by all of us. Since the Guangming Consortium has really taken care of the government, it proves that Luo Xi The Er family is indeed very weak." "We turned to the Guangming Consortium at this time, but we seized the opportunity. Otherwise, when the shareholders'' meeting is held, the result will definitely not be what we want." "I think that many people who were afraid to offend the Rothschild family before will rush to sell their shares." Myron Barrett nodded slightly: "I know, but when this moment finally comes, I still can''t help being sad." "Hey¡­" After a long sigh. Myron Barrett suddenly remembered that the landline on the other side of the office had been ringing non-stop just now, so he couldn''t help asking: "By the way, who called from the landline just now?" "Father, I checked the directory, it is Jacob Rothschild''s personal mobile phone." "Look, do you need to call back?" asked Ron Barrett. Myron Barrett thought for a while, shook his head and sighed: "There''s no need, since you know what he''s going to say, and you know he can''t change anything, and we''ve made a decision, why bother calling again?" He tidied up his mood, got up and tidied his clothes, and said to his son: "Let''s go, we should set off, don''t keep Mr. George Berkeley waiting too long, our family will have to act according to the face of the Guangming Consortium..." Just when Barrett and his son were preparing to go to the Bright Fund. George Berkeley is reporting the situation to Xia Yu. At this time, it was evening in Xiangjiang, and Xia Yu had just arrived home when he received an overseas call from George Berkeley. "...George, since the Barrett family is willing to rely on us, there is no need to target them again. Their equity is for them to keep, and they have to let others know that it is the right choice to join us. Can the influence of the Bright Fund This is a very important factor to enter the high-speed growth period again.¡± "We need more partners!" "That''s it, you seize the opportunity and use the Barrett family''s defection as an opportunity to win several other important acquisition plans as soon as possible." "I''ll hang up first." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu hung up the phone and couldn''t help laughing. It happened that Elena saw it, and couldn''t help but ask, "Honey, why are you so happy?" Xia Yu hugged Elena into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said with a light smile, "It was not wrong to ask your father to go out yesterday, and the results have already come out." "The British government supports the Royal Bank of Scotland''s acquisition of National Westminster Bank. George Berkeley reported just now that the current chairman of National Westminster Bank, Myron Barrett, is going to ask us about my attitude." "Now Royal Bank of Scotland has acquired 45.14% of the shares of Nat Westminster Bank." "Combined with the Barrett family''s 12.19 percent stake, that means we already have 57.33 percent of the voting power." "We are sure to win the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. As long as a new board of directors is elected, National Westminster Bank will be under control." "certainly." "According to the current situation, the difficulty for us to acquire the equity of other shareholders will drop sharply." "Perhaps we don''t need to wait until the day when the EGM is held, our voting rights will be able to reach two-thirds, and no one will be able to stop National Westminster Bank from being merged into the Royal Bank of Scotland by then." "Once the two banks are merged, the two original shareholders of Barclays Bank and Yinruida Group can only be slaughtered by us." "If I were them, I would definitely choose to run now, so as not to be slaughtered by others without the power to fight back." With a smile on her face, Elena lay quietly in Xia Yu''s arms and listened to his narration, then she blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Actually, my father didn''t put much effort into it. With the current strength of Guangming Fund and influence, a powerful ally that Margaret Thatcher could not have turned down." "I didn''t expect that Guangming Fund, which was established in such a short period of time, would develop to such a point one day. My dear, you are really a genius." Xia Yu''s pride was greatly boosted by his wife''s praise, and he couldn''t help laughing, scratched her upturned nose, and said dotingly: "No matter how talented your husband is, he''s already lying under your skirt." ?¡± "That''s right, I reward you with a kiss." "One is not enough..." "I hate it, everyone is watching!" ¡­ The defection of the Barrett family caused an uproar. Everyone understood that this represented another major blow to the strength of the Rothschild family. The Barrett family was once a staunch ally of the Rothschild family, and the former also took control of the National Westminster Bank with the support of the latter. But even if the Rothschild family tried their best, they still couldn''t stop the betrayal of their once **** allies. UU reading The battle for NatWest is no longer a problem. Just in this case. Many shareholders who were originally waiting for a price to sell took the initiative to contact the acquisition team of Bright Fund and the Royal Bank of Scotland. It''s only two days on the weekend. Royal Bank of Scotland increased its stake in NatWest to 56.38%. Plus the 12.19% stake held by the Barrett family. Xia Yu''s voting rights have reached 68.57%, more than two-thirds! After the Royal Bank of Scotland announced the news. While everyone was shocked, they also sighed. The countdown to the birth of the overlord of the British banking industry has begun! ~: No more tonight, everyone rest early There is no holiday this weekend, and there is urgent work. The whole unit is one-sided. I have to be on duty before 6:00 tomorrow morning. I have to be tortured for a whole day. I have to go to bed early tonight, otherwise I will definitely not be able to handle it tomorrow. Please forgive me! In addition, due to work reasons, there is no time to spare, so the lucky draw is postponed until next weekend! Thanks! v3 Chapter 1507: Yangmou - Scheming (Benefits will be distributed on 6 nights this week) "Too fast! Too fast..." When the news of RBS¡¯s shareholding disclosure reached Sweden, Peter Wallenberg was eating breakfast at home. The news was like a bolt from the blue to him, and he was stunned on the spot. It can only be said that everyone underestimated the impact of the Barrett family''s defection and the efficiency of the Bright Consortium. In addition, these two days happened to be weekends, the stock market was closed, and the acquisitions all took place outside the stock market, so there was a huge information gap. Time, people and harmony are all in the hands of the Bright Consortium! It directly smashed all the wishful thinking of the Wallenberg family before. Now the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Barrett family jointly hold more than two-thirds of the shares, and the other shareholders are already meat on the chopping board, and they can only be slaughtered. Even if the Wallenberg family''s Yinruida Group held 16.29% of the shares, it once surpassed the Barrett family to become the largest shareholder on the surface! "The situation has completely changed in just two days. I originally wanted to use it as a bargaining chip, but now it has become a hot potato. I have to find a way to sell it, otherwise the funds will be locked up and may continue to shrink..." Thinking of this, Peter Wallenberg felt dizzy and lost his appetite for the sumptuous breakfast on the table. at this time. Andre Wallenberg rushed in, looking very anxious. "Peter, the RBS disclosure..." "I see." Before Andre Wallenberg finished speaking, Peter Wallenberg said in a solemn voice. Andre Wallenberg''s voice faltered, and he immediately said: "We have no choice. The convening of the general meeting of shareholders and the re-election of the board of directors can no longer be prevented. When these two steps are completed, then the equity we hold will It means something else entirely." "At this time, the Royal Bank of Scotland still needs to join forces with the Barrett family to control the National Westminster Bank. If it acquires our equity, the Royal Bank of Scotland itself will have an absolute controlling stake. The meaning is completely different." "We may still try to raise some relatively reasonable demands and sell them at a higher price." "We must act quickly!" Peter Wallenberg did not hesitate and agreed decisively: "We will act immediately, Andre, you go to contact the Royal Bank of Scotland." soon. The Royal Bank of Scotland communicated with the Wallenberg family, and after understanding the situation, they did not make any claims, but reported the news to George Berkeley. And because the Swedish plan involved a wide range of areas and was decided by Xia Yu, George Berkeley also did not dare to make a decision, so he immediately called Xia Yu and asked for instructions. To this. After Xia Yu thought about it for a while. A very short sentence was given, but it decided the fate of the Wallenberg family. "The Wallenberg family''s influence in Sweden is too great, their chicken must be eunuched!" Xia Yu''s instructions are the highest will, and George Berkeley resolutely implements them. soon. News spread that Yinruida Group took the initiative to sell its shares in National Westminster Bank, but was ruthlessly rejected by the Royal Bank of Scotland. And there is also news from the Royal Bank of Scotland that the current stock value of National Westminster Bank is seriously inflated, and there is no plan to delist it in the short term. After the news came out. The other shareholders who still held shares immediately became anxious. Feedback to the stock market is that the share price of National Westminster Bank plummeted! According to the current relevant regulations of the delisting system of listed companies in the UK, when a listed company delists, in order to protect the interests of shareholders, it must repurchase the shares in the hands of all shareholders at the highest stock price within one month. If Royal Bank of Scotland plans to privatize and delist National Westminster Bank in the near future, the stock price will not go down even if it does not rise, and the floating shares themselves will be much less, and other shareholders will hold on to them and refuse to sell. But now there is news that the Royal Bank of Scotland will not deal with the privatization and delisting of National Westminster Bank in the short term, so the funds will be trapped in it. What''s more, the battle for National Westminster Bank has been decided. Royal Bank of Scotland, the largest buyer, can also be said to be the only big buyer in the future. How can it support the high price of National Westminster Bank? share price? It''s expected to fall anyway! It''s no wonder stockholders and investors don''t panic. Peter Wallenberg panicked too. After all, the 16.29% stake in National Westminster Bank was bought by Yinruida Group at a high price of 1.124 billion pounds. He can''t just watch it depreciate in value. What''s more, the Wallenberg family is in urgent need of liquidity now. At this juncture of burning ass. Peter Wallenberg had to let Andre Wallenberg sit in charge. He rushed to the Rothschild family by himself and found Jacob Rothschild. Wants to sell its stake in NatWest to the Rothschild family. Barclays Bank itself still holds a 3.72% stake in NatWest Bank. If it buys their 16.29% stake, the shareholding ratio will exceed 20%. But helpless. No matter what Peter Wallenberg said, Jacob Rothschild refused to take over. If it is normal, Jacob Rothschild is really willing to take over the offer, even if it will be targeted by the Bright Consortium, he can still drive a nail into it. But helplessly, the current situation is special, and the Rothschild family is also short of funds. It is impossible for Jacob Rothschild to spend such a large sum of money so unwisely. In the end, of course, they broke up unhappy. Peter Wallenberg came in a hurry and returned to Sweden in a huff. This process, even though Peter Wallenberg concealed it as much as possible, was still seen by many intelligence agencies. For a time, many people had different thoughts. In this treacherous situation. The EGM of NatWest has finally arrived. Both Barclays Bank and Yinruida Group just sent a representative. The results of the general meeting of shareholders went exactly as George Berkeley had envisioned, and the board of directors underwent a complete replacement. Although Barclays Bank and Yinruida Group have also elected four directors to the board of directors, they can only be marginal figures. In the first meeting after the re-election of the board of directors, UU Kanshu re-elected the chairman and executive director, as well as some other important positions. The chairman is still elected Myron Barrett, but other important positions are arranged by the Royal Bank of Scotland. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Myron Barrett is still the chairman, whether he has the right to look at the Royal Bank of Scotland. despite this. After the new structure of the board of directors of National Westminster Bank was revealed, it still caused an uproar. One photo in particular went viral. In the photo, Myron Barrett is in high spirits, with a bright smile on her face. Many people suddenly realized that they had to look at the Bright Consortium from a new perspective. Maybe the Bright Consortium is not a devil who eats people and does not spit out bones. George Berkeley is willing to accept new friends, even if you were once an enemy of the Bright Consortium! This was the effect Xia Yu wanted. The Barrett family is a banner, which has a very strong attacking effect. Anyone can see it! This is a conspiracy against the Rothschild family! But I have to say that the Rothschild family is really helpless... And the effect. It''s also surprisingly good... ps: I''m sorry, all kinds of inspections from the above, tossing around, sleeping less than 5 hours a day on average, finally made me go away, I can''t spare the time to code words these days, and I can''t Save the manuscript, I''m really sorry.

In the process of becoming the sixth empire in the world, it was inevitable to make enemies with countless forces. But on the other hand. There are also quite a lot of younger brothers supported or incorporated by the Rothschild family. Although many like the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family took the initiative to devour the Lord after their strength. There are also passive defections like the Barrett family. But there are still many who have been following them. The reason why I have not betrayed, some are because I have a better life and do not want to betray, and some do not have the courage and courage to betray. And this time. The scene where the National Westminster Bank was swallowed up by the Bright Consortium, but the Rothschild family was helpless, really stimulated many people and gave them courage. Shock Rhodes is one of them. Speaking of which, the Rhodes family has followed the Rothschild family for more than a hundred years, and has always been a subsidiary family force of the Rothschild family. Although the Rhodes family is not considered a top family in Europe, it is still considered a second-rate family. At the end of the last century, Cecil Rhodes began to make a fortune, and accepted the investment from the Rothschild family at that time, and established De Beers in Luxembourg to engage in the jewelry sales industry. Cecil Rhodes is very capable, and is covered by the Rothschild family, so De Beers is doing well. It''s just that with the Rothschild family''s repeated capital injections, the Rhodes family''s shareholding ratio in De Beers has continued to decline. Even so, it doesn''t matter to Cecil Rhodes. After all, the equity has shrunk, but the total wealth has increased, and with the support of the Rothschild family, De Beers has always been in control. Rhodes The influence of the Si family continues to expand. It was just a later incident that made Cecil Rhodes unacceptable. In the end, he suffered a serious illness and died of depression, leaving the family to the next generation. This matter involved two other families, namely the Oppenheimer family and the Morgan family. In 1917, Ernst Oppenheimer and a member of the Morgan family established a company in South Africa¡ªAnglo American South Africa. At that time, South Africa was being colonized by the British, and Ernst Oppenheimer had a very high influence in South Africa with the influence of the British military. Then it formed an alliance with the Morgan family, which made the South African Anglo American Resources Company grow rapidly. Of course, the dominance of Anglo American in South Africa has always been in the hands of the Oppenheimer family. It was only after the development and growth that it was inevitable that the Morgan family also moved their minds and planned to control the South African Anglo American Resources Company. At that time, the struggle between the Rothschild family, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family had turned from darkness to light. in this case. The Rothschild family spent a lot of effort and successfully pulled the Oppenheimer family to their side. The Morgan family was directly cheated, and more than half of the influence of Anglo American Resources in South Africa was cleaned up. After that, they could only accept the continuous decline of their shareholding ratio step by step. This process is very complicated, but the result is very simple. The Rothschild family sold the Rhodes family, allowing the South African Anglo American plc to take over De Beers, and part of the Rothschild family''s equity in De Beers was converted into part of the South African Anglo American plc. De Beers also cross-holds part of the shares of Anglo American in South Africa. The two companies have cross-shareholdings, and the controlling party has become the Oppenheimer family, and the Rothschild family''s influence ranks second. The frustrated party, apart from the Morgan family, was the Rhodes family who became victims and founded De Beers. It''s just that with the strength of the Rhodes family, they can only be forced to accept this result in the face of the Rothschild family, which is like a majestic mountain. Since then, the Rhodes family has kept a low profile, silently developing the Rhodes Group, and with the efforts of three generations, it has become a large group. ¡­ Bright Fund, front desk. Shock Rhodes, dressed in a neat suit, walked in with his assistants and bodyguards. After the assistant stepped forward and said a few words to the front desk staff, someone immediately guided Xiao Ke Rhodes to the elevator. And at this time. George Berkeley, who was in the president''s office, also received the notification from the front desk and immediately ordered the secretary to get ready. Not long after. George Berkeley heard footsteps from far to near, and after he got up, he happened to see the figure of Shock Rhodes appearing at the door. He smiled, came out from the desk, and greeted Xiaoke Rhodes warmly. Seeing George Berkeley''s move, Xiao Ke Rhodes also smiled and quickened his pace. "Welcome, Mr. Xiao Ke!" "Thanks to Mr. George''s invitation, I was able to come to this palace that the whole European financial community is looking forward to visiting." Hold tight to George Berkeley''s hand, Shock Rhodes touts. Knowing that the other party was flattering, George Berkeley was still very happy. "Mr. Xiao Ke, your reputation is too high, please sit down." "Would you like something?" "Black coffee with a lump of sugar, no milk." "..." After a few simple greetings, someone began to prepare coffee. And Xiao Ke Rhodes'' bodyguards were also standing outside the door, and there were only a few people in the office. "Mr. Xiao Ke, I am very happy that you can come to my place, and please rest assured that we will not be harsh on our friends." When George Berkeley looked at Shaw Rhodes just now, he noticed that the other party seemed to be uneasy, so at the beginning, he sincerely expressed his attitude. In fact, both parties are well aware of what is going to be discussed today. Although it was an invitation sent by George Berkeley, the moment Shock Rhodes really chose to accept the invitation meant that Shock Rhodes had already made a choice. The other party was so witty and courageous, so of course George Berkeley had to show his sincerity. Today''s theme is "cooperation", with only one purpose - win-win! Soon, the coffee was brewed and served. While drinking coffee, the two started a small talk negotiation. The whole process was harmonious, there was no situation where the lion opened his mouth, and there was no threat of waving a stick to hit your bones. In just half an hour, two major aspects of cooperation were reached. UU reading First, the Rhodes family transferred all of their 13.46% stake in De Beers to Bright Fund at a premium of 10%, completely withdrawing from the company that their family has participated in for 99 years since its establishment. company. In the second aspect, Rhodes Group will reach strategic partnerships with more than a dozen companies under the Guangming Consortium, including Guangming Huabao, Rolls-Royce Motor Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, ap Moller-Maersk, etc., within the next week relation. The moment when Shock Rhodes and George Berkeley finally shook hands. It means that the Rhodes family has completely said goodbye to the Rothschild family, and they have fully turned to the Guangming Consortium and become the horsemen of the Guangming Consortium. at the same time. Xia Yu, who was far away in Hong Kong, also made another move on the matter of Anglo American Resources in South Africa, and made a phone call with John Chris Morgan. The parties strike a deal. Morgan Stanley, the third largest shareholder of South Africa''s Anglo American, transferred all of its 9.88% stake to Jiuding Securities. After Jiuding Securities Company took over the equity, it immediately transferred the equity to Bright Fund. So far, Bright Fund''s shareholding ratio in South African Anglo American has risen to 37.47% in an instant, surpassing the Oppenheimer family and becoming the largest shareholder! After taking over the stake in De Beers held by the Shaw Rhodes family, Bright Fund''s shareholding in the company also soared to 34.78%, becoming the second largest shareholder, far away from the largest shareholder South Africa Anglo-American The resource company''s 35.27% shareholding ratio is only 0.49%! The best time to attack the Oppenheimer family has come! Read the latest chapter of Rebirth: The Most Powerful Tycoon, please follow() v3 Chapter 1509: The Oppenheimer Familys Claim Chapter 1509 The Claim of the Oppenheimer Family The Oppenheimers are not the same as the Rhodes. Only in terms of strength. The Oppenheimer family is far ahead of the Rhodes family, and this gap has existed from the very beginning. Otherwise, when the Rothschild family is powerful, they would not sell the loyal younger brother of the Rhodes family in order to win over the Oppenheimer family and fight against the Morgan family. not to mention. Compared with the Rhodes family, which is the founder of De Beers in name, but actually has no rights. The Oppenheimer family is the actual controller of De Beers and the larger South African company Anglo American. Facing the Bright Consortium. Although the Oppenheimer family was in a weak position and belonged to the defensive side, their strength meant that George Berkeley must pay more attention to them. therefore. Although George Berkeley invited Harry Oppenheimer to meet, he did not choose to be at the headquarters of the Bright Fund, but settled in a suburban estate with beautiful scenery and no hustle and bustle. When George Berkeley arrived on time, he got out of the car and was about to walk towards the garden restaurant of the manor. With a glance, he spotted three cars approaching in the distance. He couldn''t help but stop, checked the time on his watch, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There were less than two minutes left before the agreed time. "Harry Oppenheimer''s time card is really accurate. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to suppress him." After talking to himself, George Berkeley rolled his eyes, and a thought came to his mind. He called his assistant to his side and whispered to him: "After I go in later, you inform the Duke of Norfolk and let him tell you that the pressure on the African side is not enough, let them be prepared, if half I haven''t called you in for an hour, so you should call again and say you need help." "Do you remember?" The assistant was a little confused when he heard this passage, but he still remembered it firmly, nodded decisively and replied in a low voice: "Understood." George Berkeley just finished his account. Then I saw that three cars had already driven into the manor. He adjusted his suit, smiled, watched the vehicle stop, and then saw Gavin Riley and Harry Oppenheimer get out of the car. With the support of his son-in-law Gavin Reilly, Harry Oppenheimer leaned on a cane in the other hand and walked towards George Berkeley tremblingly. Only then did George Berkeley greet them: "Mr. Harry, Mr. Jiawen, welcome to come." "Mr. George, thank you for your welcome, sorry to keep you waiting." "I just arrived too, let''s go in and sit down and talk." "Okay, please first!" "..." After all, Harry Oppenheimer was 86 years old, and his physical function had seriously declined. With the support of his 64-year-old son-in-law, Gavin Riley, he walked slowly, and George Berkeley had to slow down. After a while, when Harry Oppenheimer was breathing heavily, the group finally came to sit down in the garden restaurant, and the bodyguards tacitly began to guard the outside. After ordering the waiter to serve some desserts and coffee, the rest of the attendants and assistants scattered around and waited. "Mr. Harry, it seems that we met for the first time, but I have heard about your legendary experience since I was a child." George Berkeley started the conversation with a smile. Harry Oppenheimer chuckled, looking at George Berkeley with cloudy eyes, and an old voice sounded slowly: "Mr. George, although I am much older than you, when it comes to legends, I am not as good as you, You are much taller than me." "Bright Fund is the miracle company recognized by the world." "Last month, the Bright Fund distributed more than three billion pounds in dividends and raised more than ten billion pounds in one fell swoop, making history in the world''s financial world!" Harry Oppenheimer''s tone fluctuated when he said the last sentence, which can be seen It was indeed his voice. George Berkley said with a smile: "This achievement is indeed something to be proud of, but in the end it still depends on everyone''s support and trust." "Hehe, the connections of the Bright Fund are indeed surprising." Harry Oppenheimer said. George Berkeley''s mind was moved, and he immediately went on to say: "The network is established step by step, isn''t it?" "Just like today, I want to make friends with the Oppenheimer family, but I don''t know..." George Berkeley looked into Harry Oppenheimer''s eyes hard as he said this. But before George Berkeley finished speaking, Gavin Riley, who had been silent like an invisible man, immediately interjected loudly and said: "Mr. See you for the first time." Although there was a seemingly kind smile on his face, his words were full of needles, secretly attacking George Berkeley. Seeing that Harry Oppenheimer''s face showed no fluctuations, George Berkeley felt a little displeased, and the smile on his face restrained. He slowly turned his head to look at Jiawen Riley, his tone was emotionless: "Mr. Jiawen, you may not know that I have made many friends, but this is the first time I have used this method of making friends." "You have been in business for so many years and have seen a lot of knowledge. Can you analyze the reason?" Gavin Raleigh suddenly got stuck, and wanted to answer but didn''t know what tone to say and what to say. Harry Oppenheimer knew that it was time for him to smooth things over, and immediately said with a smile: "Mr. George, Jiawen didn''t take a good rest yesterday because he was dealing with the company''s affairs, so he didn''t manage his emotions well. Please forgive me if I made any mistakes. " "Haha, nothing¡­" "..." Harry Oppenheimer has been in the business world for fifty or sixty years. He also came from that war-torn era, and he was able to lay his foundation in the chaotic Africa and become the top boss in Africa. In the face of George Berkeley''s next move, he saw every move. He not only maintained the face of both parties, but also showed his attitude and position little by little. George Berkeley also kept calm, constantly fighting psychological warfare with him, and kept drawing a portrait of Harry Oppenheimer in his mind. gradually. George Berkeley found Harry Oppenheimer''s attitude. Harry Oppenheimer¡¯s attitude is that he is willing to accept the olive branch extended by the Bright Fund, but he also wants to protect his own interests, and wants to have a high degree of freedom and autonomy. He just wants to reach a partnership with the Bright Consortium. in short. What was the relationship between the Oppenheimer family and the Rothschild family before, then after cooperating with the Guangming Consortium, it has the same relationship with the Guangming Consortium. And he has always said that the reputation of the Oppenheimer family is very important. Even if they cooperate with the Guangming Consortium, they don''t want to have a stalemate with the Rothschild family. In the final analysis, it is to raise conditions. I don''t want to be a gun for the Guangming Consortium, I don''t want to completely tear up the face with the Rothschild family, and I don''t want to have a confrontation. How could this be accepted by George Berkeley? He couldn''t explain it to his boss, Xia Yu! After figuring out what Harry Oppenheimer was thinking, UU Reading George Berkeley also thought up his ideas. He was secretly glad that he had explained to his assistant just now, and believed that Duke Carter Howard must have contacted Xia Yu. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the time on his watch. Five minutes to half an hour. With the strength of the consortium, I believe it is ready. He crossed his palms, stretched his muscles and bones, propped his elbows on the table, and his eyes became deeper and deeper. This gesture is aggressive. Sensing the change in George Berkeley''s demeanor, Harry Oppenheimer subconsciously supported the old palm on his thigh under the table, raising his inner vigilance by three points. he knows. The real trouble is coming soon. v3 Chapter 1510: Forever King of Diamonds (4000 words) Chapter 1510 The Eternal King of Diamonds (4,000 words) "Mr. Harry, I have two statistics to tell you, I think you must be very interested." "Speaking!" said Harry Oppenheimer impassively. "Our Bright Fund now holds 34.78% and 37.47% of the equity of De Beers respectively." George Berkeley uttered these words lightly. Two is that the data is very simple. But it fell like thunder to the ears of Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Reilly. I saw Harry Oppenheimer''s face trembled, his face became solemn for an instant, his muddy eyes became clear and sharp, and he stared straight at George Berkeley, as if he wanted to see through his heart. George Berkeley met his gaze calmly, smiling. a long time. Harry Oppenheimer asked slowly: "Mr. George, did you buy the shares held by the Rhodes family and the Morgan family?" "That''s right!" George Berkeley gave him an affirmative answer. Harry Oppenheimer took a breath, and then let out a long breath, but the hand holding the crutch continued to exert force, which showed that he was extremely restless. "Mr. Harry, what do you think we can do with our current shareholding ratio?" Waiting for Harry Oppenheimer to answer. George Berkeley went on to say: "Of course, if you think about it in another way, when our equity and your equity are added together, how much effect can it play?" "For example, completely kick the Rothschild family out!" Gavin Riley, who was beside Harry Oppenheimer, was in an extremely restless mood. He wanted to say something but was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he could only look at his father-in-law frequently. Harry Oppenheimer said slowly: "Mr. George, although you have a high percentage of shares in De Beers and South African Anglo American, you should know that you cannot take away the control of these two companies. " "I have this confidence." The Oppenheimer family holds 31.06% of the shares of Anglo American in South Africa, while the second largest shareholder is De Beers, which holds 10.54%. Because De Beers is also controlled by the Oppenheimer family, so Oppenheimer The family''s voting rights in South Africa''s Anglo American reached 41.6%. Moreover, the Rothschild family also holds 7.49%, and they will definitely not fall to the Bright Fund. They will only stand with the Oppenheimer family, so the sum reaches 48.09%. Although it is still short of more than 50%, South African Anglo American is a listed company, so it is doomed that Bright Fund will not be able to take the lead in reaching more than 50% of the shares. If you can¡¯t get more than half, you won¡¯t be able to control the shareholders¡¯ meeting, you won¡¯t be able to re-elect the board of directors, and you won¡¯t be able to take away Gavin Raleigh¡¯s position as chairman of Anglo American South Africa. The same is true for De Beers. Anglo American plc of South Africa holds 35.27% of the shares, and the Rothschild family holds 16.12% of the shares. The two parties add up to 51.39% directly, more than half. This is the benefit of cross-shareholding, controlling more companies with less capital. Of course, George Berkeley knew about these situations. He came today because he wanted to take the Oppenheimer family by force, use the strength of the consortium to crush, and force Harry Oppenheimer to bow his head. George Berkeley smiled, a look of indifference. He glanced at his watch, and the smile on his face brightened. Then, without further concealment, he raised his left hand and looked at his watch in front of Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Riley. Then he said leisurely: "Mr. Harry, I can''t take it away, but you should understand that even if you successfully stop some things, you still lose." Harry Oppenheimer frowned, savoring George Burke The profound meaning of Li''s words, at the same time, he was also thinking quickly about the implication of his action of looking at his watch just now. Just when there was a stalemate in the house. outside. George Berkeley''s assistant, who didn''t follow, kept staring at his watch. When he saw the second hand reach the 12 mark, he suddenly looked up and looked in the direction of the room. One second, two seconds... five seconds. Make sure George Berkeley really didn''t call him in. He immediately turned to the brick phone and dialed the number he had dialed half an hour ago. As soon as I dialed it, it was connected immediately. He didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly: "Help is needed!" "ok!" Only one word came back from the microphone, and then the order was placed. The assistant, who had been tense for half an hour, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked in the direction of the room again. ¡­ "Mr. Harry, the situation in Europe has been going on for some time. You should be able to tell that the Rothschild family is not our opponent." "Why do you have to stand on this leaky boat of theirs?" "In this era, we, the Guangming Consortium, are the trendsetters!" George Berkeley finished with a look of pride on his face. He just finished speaking. "Boom boom boom..." A string of very crisp bells rang. The three followed the prestige. It was Gavin Reilly''s mobile phone that rang. He took a look at it, thought for two seconds and hung up. But within two seconds, it rang again. This time, Gavin Riley frowned. George Berkeley smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Jiawen, it seems that you are in a hurry. We have enough time. You might as well answer it." Harry Oppenheimer realized that something was wrong, took a deep look at George Berkley, then nodded slightly, motioning for Gavin Riley to pick it up. Gavin Riley didn''t say much, got up with the phone and walked to the side, and pressed the answer button at the same time. "what?" After hearing a few words, Gavin Riley stopped in his footsteps, couldn''t help letting out a low cry, and then quickly turned to look at George Berkeley. At this moment George Berkeley was looking at him with a smile on his face. Guarantee! It was the Guangming Fund! Gavin Riley was extremely angry, and clenched his fists subconsciously. He quietly listened to the other end of the phone, and then didn''t ask any more questions. He just said, "Everyone evacuate first, pay attention to safety." Then hung up the phone. Then, he walked over again. George Berkeley said with a smile: "Mr. Jiawen, it seems that you are in trouble, do you need our help?" Gavin Riley resisted the urge to punch George Berkeley in the face, and said coldly, "No need." "I want to say something to my father." After speaking, he helped Harry Oppenheimer up, and the two walked aside and whispered. George Berkeley didn''t say anything, took a sip of coffee, frowned slightly, and waved to the waiter in the waiting area: "This cup of coffee is cold, make me another cup." ¡­ "Father, I just received a call from Africa. There was a sudden attack by armed men at the Richards Bay Coal Mine, which led to a large-scale gas explosion. The situation is very serious now. I have arranged for the temporary evacuation of personnel." Gavin Riley looked extremely angry and his voice was low. The Richards Bay Coal Mine is a huge coal mine in South Africa and the largest coal mine developed by Anglo American Resources in South Africa. There is also the Richards Bay Coal Terminal there, and because of this A good location and abundant resources nearby make the Richard Bay Coal Terminal one of the largest coal terminals in the world. "They must have done it again. They have already arranged it." "I know!" Harry Oppenheimer looked sullen. Obviously, when George Berkeley looked at the time just now, it means that the time is up. Before they negotiated, George Berkeley made arrangements, intending to force them to bow their heads in this way. This method is very familiar, because not only he has used it, but also these powerful countries in Europe have used it. The results of negotiations are never won at the negotiating table, but are decided on the battlefield. It''s just that he was the one who did this before, and he didn''t expect that this time he would experience the role experience of the underdog. "Father, what should we do?" Gavin Raleigh asked in a low voice. Harry Oppenheimer was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Let''s go back and talk." Although he didn''t say anything else, Jiawen Leili felt a lot lost in an instant. He knew that his father-in-law had compromised. Even though he was not reconciled, he had to admit that bowing his head was indeed a better choice. The two returned to their positions. Harry Oppenheimer looked at George Berkeley and said, "Mr. George, you''ve won." "We can cooperate, but there has to be a limit." "I want to hear your terms." George Berkeley smiled: "The conditions for cooperation are very simple. After all, we are making friends." "We don''t need South African Anglo American, but we have to work together to clear the Rothschild family." "As for De Beers, we need it!" "No second!" said Harry Oppenheimer without hesitation. But George Burke said with unquestionable tone: "No, the second must do!" Harry Oppenheimer and George Berkeley looked at each other for a long time, finally compromised, he sighed: "Okay." "But De Beers'' stake in Anglo American in South Africa needs to be taken over by us." "No, De Beers will only transfer half of the equity it holds to you!" George Berkeley refused without hesitation. When Harry Oppenheimer wanted to argue, he said in advance, "But if the Rothschild family withdraws, you can take over the 7.49% of the shares they hold." It''s a hard bone! However, considering that Bright Fund holds 37.47% of the shares of Anglo American in South Africa, De Beers holds 10.54% of the shares. Then, if he wants to get back the position of the largest shareholder, he must get the shares of the Rothschild family, otherwise he will not feel at ease. Even if it will be difficult, it will make the conflict between the Oppenheimer family and the Rothschild family even greater. And this is exactly what the Bright Consortium needs. so. Harry Oppenheimer compromised again, and he said harshly, "Okay." The corner of George Berkeley''s mouth slightly raised, and he continued: "Then we can talk about the 35.27% stake in De Beers held by South African Anglo American." ¡­ Another negotiation. In the end, the equity was transferred to Bright Fund at a price of 127 million pounds. Because the equity is held by South African Anglo American plc, the funds of 127 million pounds entered South African Anglo American plc. Considering that Bright Fund is currently the largest shareholder of South Africa''s Anglo American Resources, Bright Fund actually did not spend 100 million pounds. Later, the Oppenheimer family still needs to take over the 5.27% stake in South Africa''s Anglo American Resources held by De Beers, but it will cost a sum of money. busy Busy all morning. The contract was finally fully signed, and the moment Harry Oppenheimer put away the contract, he felt very uncomfortable. De Beers didn''t belong to him before, and even after decades of control, it was lost in the end. "Mr. Harry, happy cooperation!" "I believe that with the joining of South African Anglo American, we will have a stronger influence on the world ore market." Before leaving, George Berkley shook Harry Oppenheimer''s hand again, laughing. Hearing this, Harry Oppenheimer was slightly taken aback, and then forced a smile: "That''s for sure." Thinking of the current situation of global ore prices, Harry Oppenheimer felt better. All kinds of ore prices and futures prices were manipulated, which caused the South African Anglo American Resources Company to suffer a lot. This hard day can finally come to an end. He has also deeply seen the control of the Guangming Consortium and its allies over the global mining industry. Think about it carefully, although De Beers has been lost, South African Anglo American has joined the oligarch alliance and will gain more benefits in the future. It is entirely possible to make up for losses and even make more money. However, the South African Anglo American Resources Company must be firmly in the hands, and it cannot be snatched away again... After returning to the company with the results of victory. George Berkeley immediately called Xia Yu to announce the good news. Xia Yu happened to be dealing with official business in the office, and couldn''t help laughing after receiving the happy news. "George, you''ve done a good job. Let''s spread the word immediately. At the same time, we will step up our attack on the London gold market and put more pressure on the Rothschild family..." "At the same time, De Beers is also under control. The Rothschild family still holds 16.12% of the shares, diluting their shares." "Okay boss, I will follow your instructions..." After finishing the call with George Berkeley, Xia Yu got up and stretched, and said with a chuckle, "I have taken down De Beers, and now I have controlled more than 90% of the world''s diamond industry." "In the future, the diamond mine in Canada will also be in my hands. As long as UU Reading gets rid of Hongsu''s diamond mine, there will never be any competitors in this market, hehe..." Thinking that he was a victim of a diamond scam in his previous life, but in this life he would cast men all over the world under his shadow, Xia Yu couldn''t help but be dumbfounded. Shaking his head slightly, leaving this big toy behind, he thought of the Oppenheimer family and South African Anglo American Resources. Although South African Anglo American is a top resource company. But for Xia Yu, it was not indispensable. Although he once wanted to hold it in his hand, after thinking about it carefully, he gave up and chose to split the Oppenheimer family and the Rothschild family. With the current shareholding ratio of Bright Fund in South African Anglo American, as long as the Oppenheimer family is reversed, it does not matter whether it controls it or not. Compared with weakening the Rothschild family, there is no comparison at all. ps: Please ask for a monthly ticket and a recommended ticket. Recently, the transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please move your little hands to exit the reading mode. thanks v3 Chapter 1511: Eighth root server The acquisition of De Beers and South Africa''s Anglo-American Resources Corporation means that Xia Yu''s action plan for the European mining industry at the beginning of the operation has been half realized. As far as the current progress is concerned, the remaining two targets, the acquisitions of Australia''s BHP and the UK''s Billiton, have already won. The Rothschild family and their allies could not stop the Guangming consortium from acquiring the even larger South African Anglo American. It is even more impossible to resist the acquisition of BHP and Billiton by the Bright Consortium. What''s more, the Sumitomo consortium is currently launching a steady stream of offensives against Rio Tinto and Antofagasta, which has indeed attracted some attention to the Guangming consortium. Of course, the biggest offensives belong to the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family. After the end of World War II, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family devoted almost all their energies to fighting for hegemony in the United States, and uniting with other families to continuously clean up the strength of the Rothschild family in the United States and even North America. It was not until the late 1950s that the domestic capital structure in the United States gradually stabilized, and the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family gathered their forces to attack Europe. However, although there were many offensives in the past twenty years, the results were not as good as they wanted. This time, not only the domestic Mellon and Polaris consortiums, but also the Jiuding consortium and the Island Consortium participated, as well as the support of local European forces headed by the Guangming consortium. It can be said that it is a rare opportunity in decades. Seizing such an opportunity, they put into practice all their plans that had been idle for an unknown period of time. They wanted to eat their fill at once, so they all used 120% of their strength. Therefore, even though the Rothschild family feared and resented the Jiuding Consortium and the Guangming Consortium, they still devoted their energy to fighting against the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family. Because of this, they can only watch the Guangming Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium continue to invade the city and invade their allies. As for the direction of Sweden, Xia Yu''s plan is also in full swing. Facing Kirin Capital Corporation and a group of international hot money who took advantage of the fire, the Wallenberg family seemed to be somewhat lacking in defense means. At this time, they were rushing to withdraw funds. The 16.29% stake in National Westminster Bank held by them was like a hot potato. Some advance and retreat. Every time he saw Wang Qi''s report on the rising profits of Kirin Capital in the Swedish stock and foreign exchange markets, Xia Yu knew that the Wallenberg family and even Sweden would not last long. However, the war has lasted for more than fifty days. According to information feedback from various sources, the struggles between families and consortia in European countries have also become very fierce, which has seriously affected the economies of various countries, and the negative impact has affected people''s livelihood in various countries, resulting in increasingly prominent public grievances. For this reason, the attitudes of the governments of various countries can be said to change every day. The number of emergency meetings of the European Community has also become more frequent. One thing for sure is. Even though many local consortiums and families in Europe now hope to take this opportunity to reshuffle the cards and fight for more interests for themselves, they will never let non-European consortiums occupy too many core interests in Europe. In particular, Rockefeller and Morgan, the two giants, are their common enemies. Europe should be Europe for Europeans! therefore. Xia Yu analyzed that in the near future, European countries and even the European Community will definitely use administrative means to forcibly protect local capital regardless of face. That means. This time, the time left for him to continue the acquisition is running out. Fortunately, the time has come. The preparatory work for Xia Yu''s action against Spain is about to be completed. The Guangming Consortium has secretly acquired the equity of the four pillar companies of the Francisco family, the Iberdrola Company, the Spanish Bank of Bilbao Vizcaya, the Ferolio Group, and the Manfort Insurance Company, and has reached a very considerable amount. Proportion. But at this time, there was one thing that Xia Yu had remembered for a long time, and it was extremely important to his future strategic planning. After more than nine months of hard work, it finally bears fruit. Xiangjiang, Jiuding University. After Xia Yu''s luxury motorcade entered the campus, it drove towards the School of Computer Science in the northwest corner of the campus. It has been 6 years since Jiuding University officially enrolled students in 1980. Xia Yu and the rich people make huge donations to the Jiuding University Foundation every year, coupled with the Hong Kong government''s spare no effort in land policy support. The development momentum of the young Jiuding University can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. With a strong research atmosphere, coupled with top-level hardware configurations in all aspects, it is self-evident that it is attractive to top scientific research and teaching talents. The School of Computer Science is the one that Xia Yu supports the most. For this reason, Xia Yu also found a top helm for the School of Computer Science. Chen Shiqing, a Chinese-American born in Nanping, Fujian Province, is a top computer expert. Although he is only 43 years old this year, according to the original trajectory, in his previous life, he was featured on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States in 1988, and was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1991. In the field of science, he is the top elite among the Chinese. However, last year he was dug into Jiuding University as the dean of the School of Computer Science. Under his leadership, in less than a year, the School of Computer Science of Jiuding University has flourished. Today, Xia Yu came here to witness the biggest achievement, a result that can affect the lifeline of the Internet industry in Asia. Soon, the motorcade came to the building of the School of Computer Science. At this time, a group of people were already waiting in front of the building, and the two leaders were Wang Gengwu, the president of Jiuding University, and Chen Shiqing, the dean of the School of Computer Science. "Chairman, welcome to come!" After Xia Yu got off the car, he was warmly welcomed by everyone. He nodded to everyone with a smile on his face and said, "I kept everyone waiting for a long time!" "Let''s go, let''s talk as we go." "Dean Chen, please tell me the specific situation." "Okay!" Chen Shiqing is a typical science and engineering thinking, and he is not ambiguous. After answering, he directly talked to Xia Yu. "Chairman, the fourth ietf meeting was held in October last year. Considering the increase in traffic and users of ns, the existing four root servers were not enough. At that time, it was discussed and decided to add four new root domain name servers, namely the University of Maryland Ns. from NASA, Yser from Rensselaer Polytechnic University and our Xiangjiang Jiuding University..." "Although our root server is the eighth in the world, it is the only one outside the United States. After a series of tests and trial runs, there are no problems..." Listening to Chen Shiqing''s continuous narration, Xia Yu became more and more clear about the current situation of the root server he controlled. In fact, he has long been aware of the role and importance of the root server, but when he speaks from different people, he will have new thoughts. The root server is actually the root domain name server, which is used to manage the main directory of the Internet and is also the address book of the entire Internet world. The most basic and important function is to resolve domain names, that is, to put letters such as xxx, or xxx, xxx. The domain name information is converted into a digital IP address that can be recognized by the computer. To put it more bluntly, when we surf the Internet, we do not directly access the network, but send a request first, and then access the network after the server responds and processes it. This server is also hierarchical, just like we need to leave detailed addresses from provinces and cities to counties when we shop online. First, it must be analyzed by the root server, and then go down through the top-level domain name server (usually the database of the national domain name management agency), The domain name database and the cache server of the Internet service provider require layer-by-layer analysis to work. To put it simply In terms of storage function, it is a global super giant library, indexed by area, and has everything. In terms of Internet access, it is like airports, high-speed rail stations, railway stations, subway stations, and bus stations, and can send searchers anywhere. With this root server at Jiuding University, Xia Yu can completely promote the Internet process in China and the entire Southeast Asia, and with the help of convenience, there will be no disadvantages. Many plans about the Internet can be carried out according to his will, even if it affects the decision-making at the national level. Especially for a country like China that is extremely insecure. As long as Xia Yu mentions one advantage - even if the main root server in the United States is switched off, the secondary root server of Xiangjiang Jiuding University can guarantee China''s Internet security. Then the mainland will definitely put most of the chips to Xia Yu''s side. This is enough! : https://, ! v3 Chapter 1512: The father of optical fiber joins Unknowingly. Xia Yu and his group have already passed through the main building of the School of Computer Science and entered the interior of a three-story building behind it. What caught the eye was rows of tall machines that were neatly arranged and shone with metallic luster. There is no doubt that this is the computer room where the root server is located. And in this computer room, there are still some staff walking around. Two of them seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After seeing Xia Yu and the others, they hurried over. One of them, Xia Yu still felt a little familiar, Huo Jianning beside him hurriedly whispered a few words to him, and Xia Yu immediately understood. It turned out that the leader was Luo Jian, the general manager of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, who was newly appointed at the end of last year. Xiangjiang Telephone Company is a subsidiary of Jiuding Industrial Group, and now Xia Yu is only the chairman of Jiuding Industrial Group, which is mainly run by Wei Li. What''s more, Luo Jian was newly appointed at the end of last year, and Xia Yu only met him once or twice. Regarding Luo Jian''s appearance here, Xia Yu certainly understood his little thoughts, but this was also human nature, and he also understood it. What''s more, the construction of the root server was indeed assisted by Xiangjiang Telephone Company. Thinking room. Luo Jian led the man over, and greeted Xia Yu respectfully: "Hello, Chairman." The gentleman-like man in his early fifties who followed also greeted Xia Yu: "Hello, Chairman." "Who is this?" Facing Xia Yu''s question, Luo Jian hastily introduced: "Chairman, this is Gao Kun, a consultant hired by the company, who mainly guides and provides relevant communication technologies for root server construction." Xia Yu nodded with a smile , but in the next second, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Gao Kun slightly, and asked suddenly: "Consultant Gao, you proposed the use of optical fiber in communication, right?" "Yes!" Gao Kun replied more reservedly, with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was very calm. "I didn''t expect it to be you. Your discovery is definitely the result of changing the world. I didn''t expect my company to hire you as a consultant." Xia Yu said with some emotion. This big guy has "Father of Optical Fiber", "Father of Optical Fiber Communication" and In 2009, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research results published in 1966 in his previous life. When Xia Yu built Jiuding University before, he was once invited to work in Jiuding University, but it was unsuccessful due to various reasons at that time, and Xia Yu just forgot about it when there were more things going on. Seeing Gao Kun at this time, memories of the past immediately emerged in his mind. "You are too good. I just returned to Xiangjiang at the end of last year. Manager Luo and Dean Chen kindly invited me to serve as a consultant. It is my honor to contribute to Xiangjiang''s communication business." Gao Kun slightly With a smile, he still said implicitly. "Consultant Gao, I don''t know if you still have an impression. Five or six years ago, I asked someone to invite you to work at Jiuding University. Unfortunately, it didn''t work out. I saw you this time. You have to support our Chinese education. Jiuding University The position of vice president is waiting for you, and will give you the best scientific research environment." Xia Yu directly sent him a sincere invitation, not only Gao Kun was stunned, but even Wang Gengwu and others were stunned for a while. But the others immediately came back to their senses. Wang Gengwu hurriedly applauded and persuaded: "Professor Gao Kun, you are a top scientist among us Chinese. It''s fine if you don''t agree to my invitation before. Chairman Xia personally invited you this time. This is full of sincerity. I look forward to working with you. Build Jiuding University into a world-renowned university.¡± Chen Shiqing also laughed, and said to Gao Kun with great anticipation: ¡°Professor Gao, it seems that I am not the only one who wants you to join. Anyway, your previous research has come to an end. After all, the SEL Research Center over there is still xenophobic. You have seen the scientific research conditions of Jiuding University with your own eyes. Now that Chairman Xia personally invites you, I believe it is even more impossible for someone to hinder your research. Why do you hesitate? Join us Right! I have been looking forward to working with you for a long time!" Luo Jian also hurriedly persuaded: "Yes, Consultant Luo..." The persuasion of everyone made Gao Kun, who had been calm all the time, break his defense. However, he left Germany and came to Xiangjiang this time, and he really wanted to change his environment, and he has received many invitations so far. But there is no doubt that none of the invitations carried as much weight as the present one. Wang Gengwu and Chen Shiqing had invited him before, so he paid special attention to Jiuding University, and it really attracted him. In his opinion, the only shortcoming is that there are still not enough talents in the same field. But now that Xia Yu personally invited him in person, he felt Xia Yu''s enthusiasm and enthusiasm for Xiangjiang''s education. therefore. Gao Kun took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, he looked around the crowd, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your attention and recognition of me. This makes me deeply disturbed. I am willing to contribute my own efforts to the education and scientific research of Chinese people." Strength, please take care of me in the future.¡± "Haha, today is double happiness!" "Principal Gao Kun, you are welcome to join!" Xia Yu laughed heartily, and stretched out his hand to hold Gao Kun''s tightly as he spoke. "Papapa..." Seeing this, the others applauded immediately, which made Gao Kun burst into tears. "Thank you for your attention, thank you..." Gao Kun kept saying thanks, and bowed deeply to everyone. "Principal Wang, I will have to trouble you to handle the entry of Principal Gao in person later. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me at any time." Xia Yu urged Wang Gengwu on the spot. The latter naturally agreed: "Chairman, please don''t worry, I will make Principal Gao feel the warmth of home." Everyone talked and laughed again, and the atmosphere of this visit became more intense. The next introduction will be by Chen Shiqing and Gao Kun. Although the root server is very important, it still belongs to the server in the final analysis. Xia Yu, who has experienced the era of information explosion, experienced the initial novelty and his mentality quickly returned to normal. After visiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Yu finally emphasized and exhorted, and then led everyone away. On the way back. Xia Yu told Huo Jianning who was sitting next to him: "Jianning, just now Principal Gao Kun mentioned that although Xiangjiang currently has an optical fiber communication system, there is no problem of iterative upgrading of the technology, and he also talked about the assistance to improve the optical fiber communication signal. Subsystem research, and the idea of ??accelerating Xiangjiang¡¯s connection to the global Internet through satellite cables and radiating the entire East and Southeast Asia.¡± "Computers and the Internet represent the future. After you go back, you have someone change the name of Xiangjiang Telephone Company to Xiangjiang Telecom. This company will have to increase investment in telecommunications and network infrastructure in the future. Xiangjiang must first create a model." "Only when the results can be obtained, then the promotion will be simple and fast. We have to control most of this cake." "As for Dean Chen Shiqing, I have told him to increase the research and development of supercomputers. If there is any progress or difficulty on his side, you can report to me directly." Huo Jianning nodded and recorded quickly... : https://, ! v3 Chapter 1513: Attack on Biscay Bank in Bilbao compared to other continents. The countries in South America were the first countries to be colonized. As early as 1500, Portugal came to Brazil with strong ships and guns, and in 1509, Spain, which competed with Portugal, also arrived in the American continent. Portugal is established in Brazil with the Governor General, while Spain is in Peru. Since then, Spain and Portugal have started a process of helping and killing each other in South America, after a series of competitions. The end result was that Brazil was occupied by Portugal. All countries, including Argentina, Peru, Chile, etc., were colonized by Spain. Even though the various countries in South America have become independent after World War II, the traces of hundreds of years of colonization have penetrated into all parts of South America. Culture, system, economy and other fields can be said to be pervasive. This is not something that decades can wear away. And in banking. As the largest bank in Spain, it is also the largest foreign bank. The Bank of Biscay of Bilbao has far-reaching influence in South America. It is the largest bank in many countries, and even the largest bank in some countries. And in terms of assets. The total assets of the Bilbao-Bizcay Bank in South American countries reached 26 billion US dollars, almost reaching 40% of the entire Bilbao-Bizcay Bank! According to the latest ranking of the top 100 global banks by The Banker magazine. Bank of Biscay Bilbao ranks 39th in the world, with total assets of US$66.426 billion. And Wells Fargo Bank, which ranks 90th in the world, has total assets of only US$26.034 billion. this means. If the bank assets of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank in South America were separated separately, it would also be able to break into the top 100 of the global banking industry. And in fact. The assets of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank in South America are indeed one of the two pillars of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank. There is no doubt that the other root is its assets in Spain. As the core financial platform of the Francisco family, the Bilbao Vizcay Bank, of course, Saren Francisco will hold it tightly in his hands, and will pay attention to it in time when there is any trouble. Especially during this period of time, the European capital world was raging with war, and he also participated in it. What''s more, seeing many allies, especially after the backyard of the Wallenberg family caught fire, he stepped up his efforts to investigate his own situation and sensed that danger was approaching. only. There are always people who better than you. His reaction had already been calculated by Xia Yu and the Guangming Consortium. "Sun Tzu''s Art of War" has a saying that the fundamental principles of attack are: first, the speed of soldiers is precious, and second, to attack the enemy''s vital points. Saron Francisco has the confidence to fight against the Bright Consortium, and dares to **** the prey of the Schroeder Group, and the biggest reliance is the Bilbao Biscay Bank. Just different from other companies. Under the operation of Saron Francisco''s uncle who has ruled Spain for decades, even though Bilbao-Bizcay Bank has been listed, the Francisco family still holds a cumulative 58.64% of its shares. Considering the listed company attributes of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank. There was no possibility of outsiders threatening the Francisco family''s rule over the Vizcaya Bank of Bilbao. Most of Xia Yu''s well-used methods in the past have failed in front of him, and it is also difficult to use capital-crushing sniping and acquisitions. But this doesn''t mean that Xia Yu is helpless. Based on this situation. From the very beginning, they wanted to target the Francisco family''s money bag, Bank of Vizcaya, Bilbao. Xia Yu never thought of attacking head-on in Spain, but aimed at the South American branch, which was beyond the reach of Saron Francisco. After nearly two months of preliminary preparations. Following Xia Yu''s order. The action finally begins. ¡­ Brooke Gascoll feels this is his lucky year as president of Brooke Gascoll South America. Since the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, the economic development of South American countries has fallen into a quagmire. As the heart of economic development, the banking industry has inevitably been the most affected. not to mention. As the top bank in South America, Bilbao-Bizcay Bank certainly suffered a lot from the Latin American sovereign debt crisis. In the past few years, he can be said to be busy without touching the ground, and often can''t sleep at night, let alone have time to relax, causing him to forget his sea fishing skills. Fortunately, after entering 1987, he seems to be very happy. In Argentina, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and other countries, the original large depositors seem to have come out of the quagmire and ushered in the second spring of economic development. rise. Not only that. Branches around the country are also reporting success. The largest single business came from the Argentine branch in mid-January, which directly drew a deposit of US$520 million from Coca-Cola. It is reported that Coca-Cola is planning to invest in large-scale production expansion in South America. It has taken a fancy to the local influence of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank in South America, and plans to let Bilbao Vizcaya Bank assist in a series of acquisitions in the future. and implementation of business strategies. Holding a large amount of liquid funds, of course Brooke Gaskell can''t let it idle, after all, the money has to pay interest, even if the interest rate for temporary deposits is very low. therefore. Funds must flow quickly and be loaned out. After research by the think tank, Bank of Bilbao Vizcaya directly lowered the loan interest rate significantly, which really snatched a group of customers and raised the market share of Bank of Bilbao Vizcaya in South America to a higher level. The only thing that made Brooke Gaskell sad was that the domestic headquarters knew that his side was developing rapidly and directly transferred 1.5 billion US dollars of liquidity. If the 1.5 billion US dollars of funds are not transferred, he is confident that Bilbao Vizcaya Bank''s share in the loan market will increase a lot. The work went well, and Brooke Gaskell naturally had more time to relax. He also picked up the sea fishing skills that he hadn''t practiced for many years. For this reason, he specially bought a few pairs of sea rods with higher technological content, and often fished and held parties at sea on his private yacht. "It looks like this grouper must be at least fifty pounds, definitely the biggest grouper I''ve caught this year." "Haha, Jack, hurry up and help!" After a fierce tug, as the fishing line was continuously retracted, a huge grouper finally surfaced. After seeing the size of this grouper, Brooke Gasko You couldn''t help being overjoyed, and hurriedly yelled. And the assistant beside him immediately took the tool and found the opportunity to hit it with one blow, hooking the big grouper up. "Take my camera and take a picture of meI have to take a picture!" After unhooking the fishhook, Brooke Gaskell, who was still out of breath, laughed and said with a smile on his face. I don''t know how bright the smile on my face is. at this time. Brooke Gaskell''s secretary walked out quickly from the inner cabin of the yacht, holding a satellite version of Motorola mobile phone in his hand, with a look of panic on his face. "President, there is some bad news." Brooke Gaskel, who had been cheerfully preparing to take a photo, frowned, and said unhappily, "I''ll talk about it after I finish taking the photo." "President, it''s really urgent, we have to go back immediately, just received a call from President York in Argentina, Coca-Cola wants to withdraw all the 520 million US dollars in our bank, but President York can''t get the money! "The secretary said the information in one breath. "What?" "Bang!" Accompanied by Brooke Gaskell''s astonishment, was the sound of the grouper slamming heavily on the deck. The other people on the yacht also fell silent instantly... : https://, ! v3 Chapter 1514: 4.4 billion US dollars in 2 days! "Let York Gonzalo stabilize the Coca-Cola company immediately, and we will rush back immediately!" Brook Gaskell gave an order, and everyone on the yacht performed their duties, and the yacht immediately headed towards the coast at the maximum speed. The direction soared. When Brooke Gascoll rushed to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, it was already dark. And his face was also gloomy. In the process of rushing. Luke Gaskell wasted no time and had been dispatching work remotely by phone. In addition to communicating with York Gonzalo to understand the situation, he also personally called the presidents of various South American country branches to ask them to count the funds. He had to prepare for the worst. Once he can''t agree with Coca-Cola, in order to eliminate the negative impact, he can only withdraw the deposit of 520 million US dollars to Coca-Cola within a limited time. He needs to know what cards he has! For such an American company in the world''s top 500 field, not to mention him, the president of the South American region of the bank, even Saren Francisco must carefully consider the impact. After all, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause huge damage to the credit and goodwill of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank. Banks rely on credit and goodwill to make a living. If something goes wrong, it will easily lead to a business crisis. ¡­When we arrived at the Bank of Vizcaya building in Bilbao, the president of the Argentine branch, Jorque Gonzalo, was waiting at the entrance of the lobby. When he saw Brooke Gaskell, he hurriedly greeted him, and immediately admitted his mistake. "President Gascoll, I''m sorry that this happened." Brooke Gascoll didn''t waste time reprimanding him, and after looking around, he hurriedly asked: "Where is the person in charge of Coca-Cola?" "Edmund Langman is still in the living room on the second floor, and he is almost losing his patience." York Gonzalo said hastily. "Take me there quickly." Before the words finished, Brooke Gaskell walked in hastily, and York Gonzalo quickly caught up and led the way. Soon, they came to the living room on the second floor, and saw Edmund Longman, who was looking impatient inside, and the latter also saw a group of people who came in. "Mr. Langman, I''m sorry to keep you waiting. This is Mr. Brooke Gascoll, the president of our bank''s South American region." After York Gonzalo''s introduction, Brooke Gascoll offered his hand , and greeted with a warm smile: "Mr. Longman, it is a great honor to meet you. I would like to extend my sincere apologies to you for making you wait so long." His unhappiness finally disappeared, he showed a professional smile, shook hands with him and said very officially: "President Gascoll, hello, since you have arrived and it is not too early, then I will talk about things directly." "I hope to be able to transfer all the deposits of 520 million U.S. dollars in the Bank of Biscay, Bilbao. Tomorrow afternoon, I hope to complete all the procedures and get the money." Brooke Gascoll looked straight and asked hastily: "Mr. Langman, is it because we did not do well in the acquisition assistance we agreed with your company before? That''s why you made this decision?" "Can you give us another chance?" Edmund Langman shook his head and said mercilessly: "President Gascoll, it''s not for this reason. In fact, I recognize the strength of your bank, but I''m sorry, this decision is It was issued by the head office." "The head office''s investment plan in Argentina is temporarily on hold, and all funds have to be withdrawn to the United States. I have fought with the head office, but I can''t change the result. I hope you don''t make it difficult for me." "Mr. Longman..." Brooke Gaskell wanted to fight again. But the conversation was interrupted by Edmund Longman, who glanced at the time on his watch and said, "President Gascoll, it''s late, my family is still waiting for me to go home for dinner, The colleagues who came with me have to go home too, I¡¯m leaving first, you don¡¯t have to see us off.¡± After that, Edmund Longman walked directly towards the door with a few subordinates. Brooke Gascoll, York Gonzalo and others hurriedly chased after them, still enduring negative emotions and persuading them with good words along the way, but they couldn''t make Edmund Langman change his mind. Until seeing Edmund Langman''s vehicle go away. Brooke Gaskel clenched his fist and swung it violently, and finally couldn''t help but swear: "mierda..." The other subordinates beside him suddenly slowed down their breathing a lot, for fear of getting burned. "Gonzalo, prepare the funds!" After calming down a little, Brooke Gaskel said to York Gonzalo beside him with a gloomy face. The latter shuddered a few times, and said bravely: "President Gaskol, I have asked the staff to make an emergency count. Currently, our liquidity in Argentina is less than 50 million U.S. dollars!" "I need help from your side." Brooke Gascoll glared, and blurted out, "Why is there so little liquidity?" York Gonzalo hurriedly explained: "Our deposits rose sharply in January, before During the meeting, you asked our branches in various countries to speed up the turnover rate of funds, and we had to conduct assessments. It happened that many well-qualified companies had loan needs in the past two months, so we loaned out the funds." "According to the previous communication with Coca-Cola, their investment and construction plan will last for one year, and the use of funds will be carried out in batches, so Coca-Cola''s deposits are also within the scope of our loan funds." "Besides, didn''t you transfer 300 million US dollars to the headquarters more than 20 days ago?" This... words left Brooke Gascoll speechless, and it was true that York Gonzalo followed his instructions. . As far as work alone is concerned, if Coca-Cola hadn''t withdrawn money, he would still have to praise him for a job well done! Therefore, he could only forcefully hold back the anger he wanted to get angry, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Seeing York Gonzalo looking at him helplessly, he could only take a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, I have already informed the branches in other countries on the way to ask them to count the liquidity situation." "The funds will be remitted tomorrow." York Gonzalo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, President." "Okay, it''s getting late, everyone, let''s go home first." After that, Brooke Gaskell walked towards the car at the door, and he had to go home too. He had all the grouper he caught during the day Haven''t enjoyed it yet! Although I''m in a bad mood, it''s the fruit of my own labor after all, so it can''t be wasted, right? What''s more, food can heal one''s depressed mood. It''s just that Brook Gaskell didn''t expect it. His idea of ??enjoying delicious food to adjust his mood completely fell through. After he returned home, his subordinates from other countries reported on the phone one by one, causing him to almost have a nervous breakdown! The liquidity of the Brazilian branch banking segment is only $61.42 million. The Columbia Bank division has only $46.27 million in liquidity. The Bank of Chile segment has only $30.39 million in liquidity. The bank liquidity of the Peru branch is only US$24.36 million. ¡­ Guyana Division Bank Liquidity is only $8.52 million. Count them all. The combined liquidity of the South American region of the Bank of Biscay in Bilbao is less than 300 million US dollars! Compared with the total assets of Bilbao Biscay Bank in South America of US$26 billion, it is definitely a joke! There is only a liquidity ratio of less than 1.15%. No one believes that this is the data of a top 100 international bank in the world. Even with the 1.5 billion dollars transferred from the Spanish headquarters, the liquidity ratio is less than 7%! These data directly made Brooke Gaskell lose his appetite completely. With red eyes, he urged the phone to learn more about the situation one by one. And what he asked made him shudder. In the past two days, there have been large outflows of funds from bank branches in various countries. Except for a small number of loans, most of them are large withdrawals. Although it is not as good as Coca-Cola''s one-time withdrawal application of 520 million US dollars, but the withdrawal of deposits of 800,000 US dollars, 3 million US dollars, 6 million US dollars, and 10 million US dollars at every turn will lead to rapid consumption of funds~www. novelhall.com~ The loss of funds in these two days is as high as 4.4 billion US dollars! The reason why the presidents of the branches in various countries did not find out was that these withdrawals were not concentrated in a certain branch, but were distributed in branches in many cities in various countries, and they were all withdrawn by old customers of those branches. Moreover, these customers have stated that they are only temporarily working capital and will transfer it back in the short term. When there is no quarterly meeting for the time being, the presidents of each sub-branch are not vigilant, and naturally they will not take the initiative to report the outflow of funds of their sub-branches immediately. As a result, in just two days, Bank of Biscay, Bilbao had outflowed 4.4 billion in liquidity throughout South America, and Brooke Gascoll did not know about it. If Coca-Cola hadn''t demanded a withdrawal, Brooke Gaskell wouldn''t have discovered it. wrong! Combined with a series of behaviors of Coca-Cola, Brooke Gaskell felt that an impenetrable net had wrapped him up. Ruined! Something big is going to happen! : https://, ! v3 Chapter 1515: huge money hole Since joining the camp of allies of the Rothschild family and participating in the European capital war, the scene that Saron Francisco expected to lead the family to develop rapidly did not appear. Only after he really got involved did he realize the thrill and cruelty of the struggle in the capital market. This is a bloodless battlefield. It is also a battlefield that extremely tests a person''s comprehensive ability. Jumping out of the pool of Spain, he needs to consider and face more problems. What''s more, the opponents he faced were all existences standing at the top of the world. After seeing the Rothschild family retreating steadily, and the Rothschild family''s hard-core allies taking the initiative or being forced to defect, he reflected more than once on whether he had been out of his mind back then. It''s just that he didn''t turn back when he opened the bow, so he could only rush forward. But the results are not so gratifying. The acquisition target he selected at the beginning is also the Schroeder Group that he wants to acquire the most. So far, he has only acquired 20.14% of the shares, and the subsequent acquisition of each share is difficult. Because of this, he can only fish in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos in the entire European financial market, and taking the opportunity to hunt for other weaker targets as supplements to facilitate subsequent integration and improvement of the industrial chain. only. Every time he started his operations relatively smoothly, but he would soon be interfered by the Bright Fund. The Bright Fund clearly opposed him, so that the results of his series of actions were not as he wished. During this period of time, he spent a lot of money, and the coverage was wide enough, but it was like a mess, and there were no acquisitions that really played a small strategic role. In this case, how can he feel better? And something even worse happened to him. Late at night, when Saren Francisco was resting in his mansion in London, he was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone on the bedside table. "Honey, what''s the matter? Why is there someone calling so late..." The ringing of the bell and the movement of Saron Francisco getting up also woke up the two young girls sleeping next to him. One of them lifted the quilt and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked in a daze. Although Saron Francisco was also very irritable in his heart, there was a dignified look in his eyes. It is impossible for his subordinates and friends to be ignorant of the rules, and if they call him directly at such a late hour, then the matter must not be simple. "Do not talk!" "Hey, what''s the matter?" "Chairman, I''m Brooke Gascoll, I have a very urgent matter to report to you, we are in big trouble..." The news reported by Brooke Gaskell was like a thunderbolt, instantly making Saron Francisco completely sleepless, his complexion darkened unknowingly, and his back started to sweat. He was intimidated. In two days, 4.4 billion US dollars of liquidity in the South American region of the Bilbao Vizcay Bank was withdrawn, and the reason why it was discovered was because Coca-Cola requested to withdraw a temporary deposit of 520 million US dollars. After a moment of confusion in his mind, he immediately told it to run, analyzing more possible dangers. Who is the enemy? In addition to Coca-Cola, will there be any other large withdrawals in South America? Outside of South America, is there a similar conspiracy in Spain or even in Europe? ¡­ The more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt. He forced himself to calm down and think about countermeasures. On the other end of the phone, Brooke Gaskell, who had already finished his report, did not hear an echo for a long time, but after hearing the heavy panting, he subconsciously slowed down his breathing, for fear of affecting the chairman''s thinking. "Honey, come and rest..." At this moment, the **** the bed put a hand on Saron Francisco''s hairy chest, but her charming voice woke him up from deep thinking. "mierda!" Saren Francisco''s complexion changed, and he shook the girl''s hand angrily, ignoring her cries of pain, and stood up abruptly. At the same time, he instructed Brooke Gaskell on the other end of the phone: "Brook, I''ll talk about your question later, now you go and do it yourself, and find out how much money the bank has in South America other than Coca-Cola. Increased super large deposits..." "At the same time, I will ask the head office to allocate funds as soon as possible. You will immediately contact other banks for interbank loans tomorrow morning and withdraw the funds..." After hanging up the phone, Saren Francisco immediately put on his clothes and walked out the door. The two frightened girls watched helplessly on the bed but did not dare to make a sound. ¡­ It was less than twenty minutes after their call ended. The content of their call was reported layer by layer through the network, and reported to Xia Yu''s desktop. At this time, Xiangjiang happened to be daytime. As the helm of a family and consortium, Saren Francisco has a high enough awareness of prevention, especially after the invention of mobile phones, they also use satellite communication signals that are less likely to be eavesdropped. Moreover, his place of residence was not fixed for the past two months, so it was very difficult for Luo Wang to monitor him. But a Brook Gaskell in the snare listening area is easy. Long before the action, Brooke Gascoll, the president of the South American region of the Bank of Biscay in Bilbao, was the key target of surveillance. During this time, his every move was under the control of the net. On the top floor of Jiuding Building, in Xia Yu''s office. After reading the content of the call between Saron Francisco and Brooke Gaskell, Xia Yu sneered, and then threw it aside. "Sure enough, I don''t think highly of Saron Francisco. This ability to deal with emergencies can only be regarded as excellent. The accuracy of the think tank''s portrait analysis is good." "My game has been completely laid out. At this point, unless he can raise a guaranteed liquidity of tens of billions of dollars within three days, no matter how much he struggles, he will not be able to turn the world around!" "I don''t believe he has this ability... Hehe..." "I want interbank lending, let''s see if you are the fastest to contact? Or is it faster to notify me?" ¡­ South America. When it was time to work, all branches of Bank of Biscay in Bilbao in various countries were holding emergency high-level meetings, and the meeting time was extremely short. After the meeting, all the top executives came out with one purpose, to find other banks in the same area to borrow money according to their respective tasks. It''s just that the results left Brooke Gaskell terrified. The borrowing team of Bilbao Biscay Bank frequently hit the wall. At first they wondered, but they didn''t know until they were ridiculed by their outspoken peers that the major banks in South America already knew Bilbao Biscay Bank. The inside story of money drying up. When these banks in South America know the situation, it means that one-third of the top 100 banks in the world know the news. At this point, Xia Yu didn''t need to make any more moves. These people immediately sent the news back to the head offices of various countries in an emergency, and it was daytime in America and Europe at this time. So that half an hour later. Saren Francisco actually heard this sad news full of ridicule from other colleagues! And the next moment, he received a "bereavement call" from his subordinate Brooke Gaskell, and at the same time received a fax. There are some shocking data clearly recorded on it. Since January, the South American region of Bilbao Vizcay Bank has received 14 super-large temporary deposits, and most of them are temporary deposits from companies corresponding to those old accounts. Including Coca-Cola''s largest deposit of 520 million U.S. dollars, the deposits of these 14 accounts add up to more than 2.04 billion U.S. dollars! This data is a bit more than that reported by Brooke Gaskell at the last meeting! This is really fatal! What made him feel even more suffocated was that hadn''t passed ten minutes. He got another call from Brooke Gascoll. The 13 companies other than Coca-Cola, as if they had made an appointment, also demanded that all funds be withdrawn. Think of the liquidity of Bank of Biscay Bilbao in South America at this time which is less than US$300 million, and then think about the withdrawal application of US$2.04 billion. The current hole in South America exceeds 1.7 billion US dollars! For a moment, Saron Francisco was trembling with anger, but he could only vent his anger on the innocent vases and teacups. Oh my god, this unlucky vase... : https://, !
